I'm also supposed to Tell you something about

How to protect yourself Against rape.

Now, I know your mother Has told you about

Don't go out alone, Don't talk to strangers,

Stay away from dark places.

This is all good advice.

But most cases are not caused

By some guy dragging you off Into some alley.

It's usually someone That you know,

At least to say hello to,

Somebody you might let in If he comes to your door,

Some married guy with kids, Good old charlie down the hall.

You ready for a real mind-blower

With all the hugs And the kisses?

Good old uncle charlie.

Those of you Who actually saw anything,

Move to this side.

- captain, I was upstairs-- - first things first.

- where's the priest? - he's in the ambulance.

All right, cover the streets. Put barricades on both sides.

At least we have a reliable First cop on the scene.

I got a number on the truck. I already called it in.

Callaghan trucking. Still no sign of the driver.

Maybe he was in on it. And who are you guys?

Ed griss, safe loft and truck. We received a hijacking report.

Now we're trying to figure out Whose jurisdiction this is--

Hey, wait a minute, Lieutenant,

I'm getting Enough slack from these guys

About how could this happen To me with me on the premises.

We're not turning this over To them, are we?

All right, That's enough.

There's not gonna be Any jurisdictional hassle

In this case, Do you understand?

A priest has been hurt, And he might die.

This is a very catholic Police department.

If anybody's under pressure, It's the captain over there.

And the only way to ease That pressure

Is to catch these turkeys fast,

And that means we got to Cooperate, capisce?

Sure.

So tell me, how did All this stuff take place

Under your nose While you were on the premises?

- what's your name? - griss. Ed griss.

Francis mcneil!

- hello, sister. - how is the father?

Well, your prayers Won't hurt.

If he'd been dressed Like a priest...

And you're not to blame The young man

You sent down here to speak.

Now, those are the witnesses.

It was hard to see From the window up there,

But they might be of help.

Excuse me, sister.

We just made a deal With safe and loft.

We got to check it out With their brass first,

Though, francis.

All right, still got A couple of hooks over there.

And it's "Captain" to you.

Sister agnes knew me when I was In knickers.

You didn't.

Sister, the safe and loft Are our hijacking experts.

I expect you to get Our things back, francis.

We've waited a long time To have them snatched like this.

Well, it all depends on What was taken, sister.

Do you have a list?

42 toilets, 46 sinks...

11 shower stalls,

2,025 feet Of 1-inch copper piping.

I hope you have a good memory.

Oh, excellent.

Do you remember the color, The brand name?

And if there's a list Of the serial numbers.

I don't know.

They were a gift From mr. Callaghan.

The trucker?

Lieutenant, You got a minute?

Excuse me, sister.

Look at these bags. They're handmade.

"Nugain's semi-dwarf Winter wheat seed."

Now, have I missed Any waving fields of grain

In midtown manhattan?

Where did These things come from?

I don't know, maybe forensic Can come up with something.

No, we have our own expert On growing things.

Thank you.

What's that sound?

Hey, open up!

All right, take it easy. You okay?

I'd know that sound anywhere.

That's the sound of a wild New york truck driver

Being thrown into A new york sewer.

Come on!

- you okay? - you dummies deaf?

You know what it's like Down there?

Where's my truck?

You guys Didn't catch nobody, huh?

When I get my hands on them--

You don't have to.

All you have to do Is stand close to them,

You kill them with the stink.

You want to do me a favor? Stand downwind.

I'm sorry, but now Tell me the truth.

Are there any alligators Down there?

Does he keep loading or not, Mr. Proctor?

Not for five grand. You got to be out of your mind.

Say, how did you guys Come to hit on me anyhow?

You got a driver--chico.

Sold us some fertilizer That was a little warm

From the parks department.

He said if we ever wanted to Unload some merchandise,

But if you don't want to Do business...

Okay, it's the same story Chico told me too,

But he didn't say nothing About five grand--

Nothing.

Now, look, it's obvious that you And your brother got guts.

I like that.

Now, we got A very big heist coming up.

We're gonna need drivers,

And you'll get A piece of the action this time.

But you got to make me a price On this load here.

Say...1,500.

Hey, man, we don't want No career being hijackers.

One job is all we need And a fair price.

1,500 and what we got coming up, You could make five, six grand.

Each.

We'll make you a deal.

When we picked up The fertilizer,

We saw this machine You got stashed in the back.

You mean that thing you tow With a tractor?

You want that?

Yeah, it's called A seed drill.

That and $2,500.

Make it two grand, You got a deal.

- okay. - can you pick that up later?

Yeah.

When will This other job come down?

I don't know. It depends on the weather.

We been waiting for weeks.

The weather? How come?

Hey, did I ask you what you Want that dumb machine for?

Hey, okay, okay.

You know, this wasn't Some casual rip-off.

They knew about the truck And what time it was coming.

Griss seems to think

There must've been somebody On the inside at the trucker's.

Safe and loft Says it happens all the time.

Or in the school.

Now, would you Put your green thumb on that?

And maybe sister agnes Can help us, you know,

With recent employees Or somebody's just been fired.

Wheat seed?

Then I want you to hit Every stoolie, every fence,

Every outlet in the hijacker's Guide, all right?

From cigarettes to sleeping bags Around the clock.

Yes, wheat seed.

But I don't know anything About wheat seed.

Wheat is a plant from which You make bread, cookies.

You get cakes; you get bagels,

All of which You know a great deal about.

The only thing we don't know Is how this wheat seed bag

Found itself on the streets Of manhattan full of sand.

- saperstein. - yes, sir.

Captain comes in, I want to see him.

So do a mess of reporters Downstairs, sir.

The captain has already seen The reporters.

Oh.

If the captain gets Any phone calls, he's not in.

I'm a gardener, not a farmer.

Talk to reporters.

I've also talked to a bishop, Two monsignors,

A deputy chief named kelly With questions from the mayor.

This city gets

Over a hundred million worth Of hijackings a year.

Guys are grabbing trucks At every stoplight.

The big shippers have to run Convoys through the streets

With helicopter Riding shotgun yet.

Now one catholic school Gets ripped off,

And we get all the heat.

Yeah, and if the father dies, It's gonna get worse.

I know.

He's got one of those Multiple-choice doctors--

Maybe he'll live, Maybe he won't.

Meanwhile, all those Irish eyes are on us,

And they're not smiling.

Frank, what can I tell you? We'll try to get them fast.

I know. I know. Any shape to this thing yet?

Two guys, maybe puerto rican.

Looks like they had some kind of Inside information

And very well planned.

I know. That's the problem. It's too elaborate.

The sandbags and everything.

They should've just Clobbered the driver.

I think they're amateurs. No records, no prints.

They're gonna be harder to nail Than professionals.

Look, my kid Went to that school,

And that priest Is a nice young fella.

I wanted to do them a favor.

Sure, I'd like To get my stuff back.

Either way, it's a write-off.

So it got stolen.

So what? Why make Such a big deal out of it?

'cause I don't like Doing you a favor,

Making a delivery and getting Ripped off by some punk kids.

And because I got Four of the big fences in town

Hot for just A piece of my action.

I got a reputation, callaghan.

I steal. I don't get stolen from.

If this gets around, you know What's gonna happen to me?

All right, all right. All right, all right.

So it's your problem, all right?

Yeah, well, I got something Else that's our problem.

It's gonna start getting windy, Real windy.

That's what I heard On the radio.

Come on, we're not Gonna go through with this,

I mean, Not with all this attention.

I been following Your schedules pretty close

For three weeks now, callaghan.

You got some pretty great Shipments coming in,

And we got the right weather,

So first thing in the morning, We do our thing,

Unless you want to settle What you owe us now for cash.

The dude Where we sold the stuff,

He offered us another job-- Ten grand minimum.

Not with me.

Don't have a long face, lena.

Lena, with what we got saved And with this one more job,

Adios, nueva york.

It's true, lena. Everything is beautiful.

It isn't beautiful. It won't ever be beautiful...

Because you killed A priest today.

What do you mean? What priest?

The one who came over The fence,

The one you knocked down, He's in the hospital.

He's dying.

I did this?

No, chuchito.

We all did it, all of us.

We never took before.

You could've waited To earn the money.

Waited? We got family to think about.

Old people, little kids.

You want to live like we do For another three years?

Do you?

Yes, because It's better than stealing.

Look, ding-dong,

I don't care about montauk point Or heavy chop.

Ah, cape may.

What's a marine forecast, Anyway?

- boats. - oh, terrific.

I want the regular weather.

I don't care If you are a recording.

You'd think my boss was gonna Sail to bermuda or something.

Speaking of that,

If his name is callaghan, I'd like to talk to him.

- he's in the yard. - fantastic.

- yeah. - I'm lieutenant kojak.

You know, we got The whole east coast

Looking for your truck, Mr. Callaghan.

Yeah, I got a lot of friends In the business.

Lot of truck drivers helping me Look for it too.

Hey, how's the father doing?

They operated, And he's still alive.

Well, ain't that the limit.

They start knocking over Church donations.

What can I do for you?

Yeah, well, that's gonna take A couple of days.

- I have this help problem. - oh, yeah?

What about your tax records For the contributions

And purchase orders?

Or something for The insurance company?

Insurance?

Are you kidding?

You know, I been hijacked So many times,

I can't get insurance For going around a city block.

Uh-uh, this won't Come out of my pocket.

- who'd you buy the stuff from? - some guy in staten island.

He was going broke.

Hey, I'm sorry.

Ferguson.

The guy Who was doing the driving?

- yeah. - he made the deal.

- he'll have all the answers. - mm.

That's strange.

Ferguson said He didn't know a thing about it.

Yeah, well, he's probably All shook up, you know,

Getting jammed down that sewer.

Callaghan, would you stop Playing games?

What's going on around here? I mean, you're so edgy.

What are you so jumpy about,

And why is it So quiet around here?

All right.

I've got some problems.

I mean, I was hijacked 14 times Last year.

I mean, the only way That I can get some insurance

Is keep my trucks out of town Until I got enough for a convoy.

That's the way the cops will Help me keep an eye on them.

My schedules are all loused up. Business stinks.

But not so bad you can't Donate a truckload of plumbing

To sister agnes, hmm?

Come on, you explaining?

Or do I have to go to the irs

To help me With this investigation?

Oh, no. No, no, no, please.

Not the irs.

You know what kind of Wheeling and dealing

You have to do to keep Those monkeys off your back?

Why don't you educate me, Callaghan?

All right, lieutenant, It's like this.

Last monday...

Yeah, callaghan's in hock Up to his axles,

Including uncle sam.

He takes a few thousand dollars,

He buys some Discontinued equipment

From a plumbing contractor Through ferguson,

Figures to get

A $50,000 deduction From the government.

That puts him straight With them.

Then there must be some kind Of inflated bill of sale

With a list of the stuff.

There was...

Along with the stuff That was stolen,

To be signed by sister agnes Upon receipt,

But that's on the truck, Wherever that is.

How much of a gonif Is this callaghan?

It's messy.

You know, Guys in his kind of trouble

Do some pretty weird things.

I got rizzo checking it out.

Excuse me, but I got The answer to this wheat thing.

Nugain's winter wheat Was developed

For the particular climate Of the pacific northwest,

Like washington, oregon, Like that.

That's half an answer.

The other half is, What is it doing here?

So chico told me The kids are okay.

Well, they're bringing a load. I made a deal.

Now, how am I supposed to know

That you're the guy They ripped the load off from?

Couldn't you see It was callaghan's truck?

Sure, but how am I supposed To know that that's the truck

That you were driving?

Come on. Those kids are okay.

Besides, there ain't Too many guys

Can throw harry ferguson Down a manhole.

Hey, that's just the kind of Joke I never want to hear.

Cool off, harry, huh? Just cool off.

This deal is too big for that.

We need all the drivers We can get.

Those kids will be here In a little bit

To pick up that seed thing, Anyway.

You watch now.

When they see That you're in this too,

They'll make every effort to Make it up to you.

Believe me.

All right, all right.

So long as we go first thing In the morning.

You been outside?

There's a 40-mile-an-hour wind Starting to blow.

I'll get those kids to help me Make some room in here.

Oh, I sold that.

Two minutes after it was in, Boom boom, right out the door.

- you sold it? - sure.

Proctor, I got to get That stuff back.

What are you talking about?

That plumbing's Got a long history to it.

If the cops should locate it And look too close,

They'll find out It was ripped off in boston.

A guy got killed.

That's why I sold it To callaghan

So it would be buried In that school.

Now you tell me It's out there somewhere.

And it's not just hot; It's lethal.

There he is.

There you go.

How long has the sign been up?

My informant said he saw him Put it up in the window

A couple of hours ago.

Could be a coincidence.

Well, you got The right part of town.

Yeah, at most of these stores, The merchandise is so hot,

You can't get fire insurance.

That's got to be the fastest Plumbing sale in history.

Cops. Hurry up.

What else have Your pigeons come up with?

I heard some rumors About a major heist coming down.

A lot of drivers involved. No idea where or when.

Come on! Come on! We have a reservation.

Aha. We're not open. I'm taking inventory.

Of course, you gentlemen Are always welcome.

To us storekeepers And like that.

Pete, you know I got my master's degree

Hey, lieutenant! Hey, hold it. Police.

Get in your cars and go. Go!

Peter.

It's time to have a little Fireside chat, sweetheart.

Listen, I know how It probably looks, lieutenant.

It looks like you conspired To murder three police officers.

That's what it looks like. Huh?

You're protecting a guy Who shoots at us.

That's what I'm trying to say. That guy was a robber.

Who knew he was back there?

You know, I'm lucky you guys Came around when you did?

Pete, you're beautiful. Anybody got a paper?

Yeah, lieutenant, But somebody stole the sports.

Somebody stole the sports. Are you ready, huh?

You're an item in the news, Pete,

Right between the headlines--

"Priest may die In school hijacking."

Did you know that? I got some advice for you.

Want to help yourself? You help yourself by helping us.

Now go inside And read all about it.

I called the seed company.

They shipped an order Of nugain's

Out to nugent's garden supply Out of long island,

But the owner's out sick.

Well, call him at home And you get him out of bed.

You got to be a sleuth, Stavros, a sleuth.

Lieutenant, I got The port authority police here.

Parked in a lot at la guardia.

- hey, lieutenant? - yeah.

I don't know anything About this.

You got to believe me.

I don't ask a lot of questions About a deal.

That's way out of my league, Believe me.

That's been your league

Ever since you made your First deal for a hot stereo.

You know something?

If it wasn't for You so-called middlemen,

The cop shooters And the priest beaters

Would be out of business Looking for a market.

So don't tell me you're a little Guy trying to make a buck.

You guys make crime waves, Creep.

What kind of deal we talking?

Oh, all right.

You talk, and we'll talk And like that.

Okay, this guy calls me up Sometimes, you know?

Today he's got a terrific buy On plumbing fixtures.

Comes down to the store, Picks up my truck,

And when he comes back, It's loaded with great stuff.

I even get a bill of sale: Knickerbocker supply company.

Which probably isn't even In the phone book.

Saperstein.

Yeah.

Look up kickerbocker supply Company, see if it's real.

- right. - oh, pete...

You forgot one little detail.

I guess you got to know The guy's name, huh?

I can feel myself dying.

Eddie proctor.

Eddie proctor, A most prominent fence.

All right, who took the stuff Out of your store?

I was hanging up the signs When proctor calls me,

Says the deal is off.

He sends over this guy. I've never seen him before.

He starts loading the stuff On his truck, then you show up.

That's it, I swear.

- lieutenant... - mm.

This mr. Nugent ordered that Seed special for a kid he liked.

He used to Wash his windows for him.

Sold it to him wholesale-- Enorio patias.

Hasn't seen him For a couple of weeks

And has no address on him Either.

I'm checking him out For a yellow sheet right now.

No sign of our gunfighter, And for what it's worth,

Griss and I put out word To look for a truck

With bullet holes in the back.

You get the 52 file out For friendly pete.

If he doesn't find him in there, Use a sketch artist.

Whoever this guy is, He's been playing around

With eddie proctor, And I want him identified.

You know the rumor About some big job coming down?

Proctor was one name griss and I Heard mentioned a couple times.

Lieutenant, on this enorio Patias, there's nothing on him.

Patias, patias.

Where have I heard That name before?

I haven't heard it. I've seen it.

Where are the reports From the schools?

On your desk Where you were gonna type them.

Patias. Patias. Patias.

She was an eyewitness. Lena patias.

She was one of the girls That was lecturing.

- address? - I have the school address.

Oh.

Oh, ho ho.

Well, crocker, I hate to be a nitpicker,

But there's a reason for this Meticulous police procedure.

So why don't we call The good sister agnes

And maybe we'll come up With the address, okay?

I don't like it. I don't like it at all.

Sister, you said yourself

That this student could've known About that shipment in advance.

It was no secret, lieutenant. It was a miracle.

Every student knew about it.

Sister, there's only one Patias in the whole school.

35 years ago, when Your captain was my student,

We had an easy time Turning out decent people.

Today it's a fight,

But we still turn them out Now and then.

And lena patias is one of them.

Sister, I hope you're right, But we still have to see her.

I don't want you scaring her.

I want to go with you.

I like that girl, lieutenant. The whole family.

There aren't many dreamers left In this city.

Thank you.

She's probably in there, In that garage.

Oh, sister, we've had enough Members of the cloth injured.

Would you wait for us here, Sister?

Thank you.

Enorio?

Lena, we'd like to talk to you And your brothers.

They aren't here.

Well, we'd like to find That out for ourselves, please.

- you have a warrant? - lena.

You've added a few things Since I've been here last.

Every dime they can spare Goes into this place

Or into the bank for farmland.

Out west, I believe.

Oh, really?

Washington? Oregon?

You should've waited Until you got there to buy it.

Or was it Because of the discount?

How did you know?

Then it's true, lena?

Lena, it's hard to wait Until christmas.

I understand that.

Are you the one Who tipped your brothers

About the plumbing?

We thought they'd give you More for the school

Or maybe some insurance.

We didn't mean to hurt anyone And not father everett.

It was an accident.

Chucho was afraid for enorio, And he's very strong.

- where are they, lena? - my brothers?

I can't.

Don't make it worse, child.

Lena.

It's a warehouse.

11th street near 10th avenue.

They went to get a seed drill.

Okay, now I want you guys Back here

As soon as you dump this thing.

We got a lot of work to do Before morning.

- morning? - yeah.

I told you, we're waiting For weather.

Well, we got it.

Look, proctor, we decided To skip this job for you.

Now wait a minute. No, no. We made a deal.

Where else Am I gonna get drivers

On such short notice, huh?

Hey, proctor, You got a license.

So do I.

Why don't you Get rid of these creeps?

I got other guys too.

Hey, it's the guy We dumped in the manhole.

Why don't you shut up And split?

You want to go back In that manhole?

- nah. Wait a minute. - I said now.

So this is what the priest

Is fighting for his life over, Huh?

A seed drill.

Look, man, why don't you Just bust me?

It was my idea.

Lena and chucho Didn't even like it.

I know, you're a modern-day Robin hood, right?

Only he robbed from the rich.

Here you are knocking off A school

That's flat on its back.

So I'm an idiot. I didn't know that.

But the others, they're clean.

Oh, no, no, no. Nobody's clean on this one.

Got two men in the hospital, Your sister's in jail,

And you're headed To the same place,

And to top it all off, there's Still things going on here.

Now, who tried to knock off Your brother and why?

This may sound crazy,

But it was that guy We dropped in the manhole.

Him and this guy proctor,

They were offering us a job, And we said no.

- ferguson? - and proctor.

We been at this all night, And all we've figured out

Is that it was ferguson At pete's discount store too.

So that's twice he shot at cops.

Boy, whatever job He's got cooking up,

It's certainly driving him Off his rocker.

Frank, the way He stuck his neck out

Getting back Those plumbing supplies,

It's got to mean trouble For him someplace.

Rizzo?

Yeah.

Contact the federal hijacking Information center, okay?

Find out if there's been A plumbing heist

That rings a bell someplace else Besides new york.

Now, proctor's A top professional fence.

If this superheist Wasn't coming down right away,

He'd want more Professional drivers

Than that future farmer there.

Did anyone tell you about Where you'd be working

Or how long the job Would take?

Nobody knew when it was Gonna happen or where--

Not when they First talked to me.

But then proctor said you Had to do it tomorrow morning.

Yeah.

He said The weather was right.

Yeah, that was real important To him, the weather.

Weather.

Someone else was interested In the weather.

Crocker?

- yo. - bring in callaghan.

Hey, wait a minute. I got to check--

You breathe in that thing, And you're dead.

All right, you, driver, Pull out.

How the hell would I know Where ferguson is?

Come on, man. It's 5:00 in the morning.

He's probably home in the sack If he's any luckier than I am.

I got a convoy Coming in this morning.

What kind of a convoy, Callaghan?

Couple of trucks From virginia.

It's some cigarettes, some Furniture, and a few things.

And tell me about this Windy weather, baby.

You know, police helicopters,

They don't fly On days like this.

Not around buildings.

And you're bringing Your whole convoy in

Without aerial protection.

And someone as determined As ferguson or proctor,

They're not gonna worry about A few security guards.

You know this ferguson? He's a fruitcake.

He shoots at cops. And if he kills anybody...

Mm, you're in for murder too.

What can I tell you?

Look...

I'm not much of a crook...

And I'm no murderer at all.

I'm not looking for Any sympathy,

But I been damn near hijacked Out of business.

I mean, I owe the world.

Even my trucks are in hock Up to their fan belts.

About a month ago, Ferguson shows up.

He says he's got connections.

Says if I play his game, I...

I won't get hit again.

I guess proctor is his boss.

So the plan is to hijack The whole convoy.

Okay, frank, when and where? Tell me.

He didn't tell me. I didn't want to know.

I just had to be sure

The trucks were Across the george washington

By quarter to 5:00 this morning,

And they are.

Get a map of the city And call griss.

We're going across To the bronx,

Down the major deegan To the triborough bridge.

You, read this on the radio And don't be cute.

All right, "This is truck one leader.

Close it up."

All right, you, driver.

I want you to slow down And stop at the next street,

You understand?

I want your front wheels On the crosswalk.

Right here.

Don't touch the radio.

Read this.

Read it in the mike.

"Okay, this is Truck one leader.

"We just had a call From the security office.

"We'll have to stay real close,

"Take a different route Since we can't get air cover.

Just follow me."

All right, Let's go to the bronx.

They came across The george washington,

Down amsterdam, Across 125th, second avenue,

Then the trucks start to Peel off at the upper 50s

For the stores on fifth avenue.

Now, two trucks head for The garment center.

One of them has the furs. The cigarettes end up downtown.

No, I figure they'll hit them Somewhere up here,

While they're still All together.

We got a report on 125th. It's clear all across town.

There's a convoy on 10th, But it isn't ours,

And there's nothing on Second avenue right now either.

Then they've already hit it, Taken it off the avenues.

Yeah, but how? Trucks Have radio communication...

So even if they took One truck...

Suppose that one truck Is the lead truck.

Maybe the rest play "Follow the leader"

Or "Ringolevio" or something.

Yeah, but you can't Put a diesel in your pocket.

Besides, they jam up Most side streets.

Unless they stayed uptown Above 125th street.

Stavros, check out Morningside park.

And make it quick.

Yes, sir.

Right. Thanks.

There's nothing rumbling On the east side

Or in the park anywhere.

They must've taken them Off the streets.

Take a pretty big warehouse. Truck stop, maybe.

Someplace where they Wouldn't stand out.

That's it.

Callaghan's company's just above The triborough bridge, right?

That's the one perfect spot Where they wouldn't be noticed.

Stavros, call griss Right away.

Tell him to get his Safe and loft boys out of bed.

- yes, sir. - gonna want to be in on this.

I'll be in my office.

Here you are, eddie.

Take your pick And let's talk money.

Let's talk escape.

How do I get out of here With this stuff?

I'll show you.

New plates, new markings.

I'll even loan you A couple of boys to drive.

In the next half-hour,

The streets will be So crowded with rigs,

You'll look like Another grain of sand.

I count seven, Plus ferguson and proctor.

There's a lot of shotguns Down there,

But most of them Are redecorating trucks.

How about the gates?

There's one in front,

And the rear Is blocked by a truck.

Stand by.

This is captain mcneil Speaking.

I want the safe and loft men On the back gate.

I want the uniformed men on The fences and the shed roofs.

We'll take the front gate. Griss, you're on point.

So when you're all set, Let us know.

Move out now.

We could use a couple of men Over there.

Well, do it. Take crocker and tracy.

Yeah, I'm not greedy. I'll just take this load here.

Just?

Hey, you're looking at Over half a million.

Maybe in a rack At lord & taylor's,

But not here, not hot.

I can't see you, captain,

But the rest of the men Are in position.

All right. Now I'm set.

Theo, the guy at the gate

Has his back to you.

This is captain mcneil.

You are surrounded By new york police.

Do not move. Do not think.

I repeat: you are Completely surrounded.

There are police At all escape routes.

Every exit is blocked. Remain stationary.

You are covered.

All members of the force,

Zero in on the center Of the yard.

You will put your hands Behind your heads

And walk slowly To the front gate.

- why don't you run, ferguson? - I am.

Unh.

Ohh.

All right, I'll get him.

Captain, there's a call for you At central.

All right.

All right, you guys, Just keep coming.

Slow and easy, pal.

Mcneil.

Hey, lieutenant,

I found that truck with all The bullet holes in back.

It's full of toilets.

I understand. Uh-huh, right.

You tell safe and loft Not to get too greedy, okay,

'cause until they find out Where that heist came from.

It was boston, kojak. Boston.

I think ferguson Killed a guy there.

Don't forget who told you, huh?

Boston's got a murder charge, They can have him.

Best we can do is attempted.

Yeah.

He also murdered Something else--

That patillo dream plantation Out west.

Speak. You're a beautiful person.

Sister agnes just reported

That father everett Is conscious.

She's probably Giving him hell already

About how he should've been Wearing a cassock and a collar.

Just a couple of hours ago,

She was on her knees Lighting candles for him.

Yeah, well, don't be surprised

If she goes To bat for those young farmers.

She's not one to give up On people easy, you know.

In that case, I'm glad I'm not the prosecutor.
