This is KABC
radio. I'm Geri Nichols.

Latest crime statistics, released today,

show an alarming rise in violence.

In the last five years,

homicides in Los Angeles
county are up 79%.

Robberies are up 68%.

Aggravated assault, another violent crime,

shows an increase of 59%.

Rapes have increased 61% and
lesser crimes are up, too.

Today, I spoke to Los
Angeles police commissioner,

Herman Baldwin.

The fear of crime has brought

a deterioration of our community.

It's almost as if we've
been struck by enemy bombs.

The number of citizens killed and maimed

by criminal violence has produced in me

a great and personal resolve.

The only way we're going to win...

and make no mistake, this is a war...

The only way we'll win is
by assuming the offensive.

Positive policing is the answer.

We've got to deploy all our resources

or criminal violence will
destroy our community.

But what are the resources needed

to diminish the alarming rise in crimes?

There are those who say
heavier prison sentences

and an increased police
facility are enough.

- Yeah, I'm one of them.

There are others who believe

that prison never cured anyone.

And judging by the rise in violence,

it never deterred anyone, either.

- Here comes the commercial.
- At McLarren State Hospital,

Dr. Irving Clark...

- I know it's your radio station

and I sure like Miss Nichols,
but I can't take this.

- It's not my radio station,

I'm only the architect for the new one.

And Miss Nichols is late.
- She's still on the radio.

- They recorded that earlier.

Hey, there she is now.

- Don't you be late for dinner.

Your daughter sure ate well last time.

- That's 'cause you're a great cook.

- For her, nothing is too much.

- We won't be late.

We're supposed to be there at 10:30.

- We'll make it.

The senator's aide would
not get off the phone.

Oh, and Los Angeles
magazine's gone for my idea

of a series of articles on
criminal rehabilitation.

- That's great.

Hello, baby. You look really good.

- Hi, Carol.
- We're not late, are we?

- Has there been any
progress this week, doctor?

- Nurse tells me she asked
for dinner on Thursday night.

That's the fifth week running
she's said a few words.

- Ah, that's not much after two years.

Will she ever come back to me?

Will she ever be normal again?

- You're her father, Mr. Kersey.

You can only give her your love...

and your prayers, too.

- I remember you liked
kites when you were a kid.

You still like 'em?

We haven't bought you your ice cream yet.

- You mean we haven't
bought your ice cream yet.

- A man has to have some vices.

But I'll tell you what.

You choose whatever you
want from this table

and I'll go off and buy the ice cream.

Look at him.

So, what it look like?

- Let's do it.
- Ha!

- Bam!
- Get out the way!

- Hey, hey hey! Watch out!
- Jerk!

- Go get your ice cream, man.

- Hey!
- They took his wallet!

- It's nice.

- Where's my wallet?
- I ain't got it.

- Guess what?

I got up to the front of the line

and discovered I'd forgotten my wallet.

This time you two come with me.

But I'm gonna have to borrow some money.

I think we can manage that.

- Carol! Where have you been?

Oh, I haven't seen you
for a couple of weeks.

I thought you'd deserted me.

- What happened, Paul?
- Ah, nothing.

- Well, you didn't forget your wallet.

You never forget anything.

- I'll tell you about it later.

- I could stay.

I could do the interview another time.

- The senator's only here for a day.

If I were you, I wouldn't
miss the opportunity.

I'll see you at dinner, okay?
- Okay.

- Hey, Paul!

You coming aboard?

- This is the place.

Super fine.

- Easy, my man, we got business.

- Mike, I thought you weren't coming.

Oh, you know I wouldn't.

- Who is it?

- I've got a delivery for Mr. Kersey.

Who from?

Who is this delivery from?

- Come on!
- No!

- Just her and no one else here.

- And we wanted to give Mr.
- Kersey his wallet back.

- Personally.
- Hey, man, look at that.

Isn't that pretty?

No!

No! No!

- Lady, you disturb the neighbors

and I'm gonna cut you into little pieces

and eat you for dinner.

- Hey, Jiver! Save some for me, man!

Getting it good, Jiver! Getting it good!

My turn now, man.

- If you want her, take
her in the bedroom.

Jiver, check out the window for the man.

- We can't hang in here forever.

- Hey, I want him.

Just be cool, man.

He'll come.

- Are you hungry?

Let's see what Rosaria has for dinner.

Rosaria!

Rosaria! We're home!

- Outta here!
- Hey, use the back!

Take her. She's seen us,
she can finger us all.

- Come on.

- Keep moving! Get in there, girl!

- There is only one truth

about the use of the death penalty.

Why do we kill people who kill people

to show that killing is wrong?

- Thank you, senator.

That was senator Robert McLean.

And this has been Newsdesk,

brought to you by KABC Los Angeles.

I'm Geri Nichols.

- Nirvana, how long we gonna stay here?

- Ah, it's nice here.

Yeah, and we got a nice
little lady.

- What are we gonna do? Waste her?

- She's seen us, she can finger us all.

- The man saw me twice. Up close.

- Aw, man.

We look all the same to
whitey, anyway.

He'll never pick you out, Jiver.

You!

- Paul!

Paul!

Paul, is that you?

Oh!

- Mr. Kersey, I'm Inspector Mankiewicz.

I know it's a terrible time.

- Any news of my daughter?

- Not yet, but as soon
as we hear anything,

we'll let you know.

Mr. Kersey, the descriptions
you gave the officers

of your attackers, they're very unclear.

Is there anything that you can add?

- I came in this front door.

There were two men standing there.

There are at least two men back there.

One of them hits me on the head

and I'm knocked unconscious.

- Surely you saw one of them
before you were attacked.

- Hey, I told your men everything I know.

- We understand that the
same sort of thing happened

in New York City.

We ran it down in our computer.

- Yeah, that's right.

Some muggers followed my wife and daughter

home from the market.

The police there got a
very good description

of the muggers, too.

But it didn't do any good.

- We do what we can.

Oh, one of my men found this on the floor.

- Oh, honey, if they
don't need us anymore,

let's go back to my place.

They're going to be all night.

- Mr. Kersey, we just got
some news about your daughter.

- How is she?

- Is this your daughter, Mr. Kersey?

Mr. Kersey, is that Carol?

- Get some sleep, darling.

You go on back to bed.

I want to stay here awhile.
I'll be along in a moment.

- Unto almighty God,

we commend the soul of our sister, Carol,

and we commit her body to the ground.

Earth to earth, ashes
to ashes, dust to dust.

In sure and certain hope of a resurrection

unto eternal life through
our lord, Jesus Christ.

- Don't worry about
the new building, Paul.

It can wait.

- Oh, I'll be back soon.

- It's not necessary.

- It is for me.

Thanks for the use of your cabin.

- This is the new model, Paul.

The department of building
and safety approved it

while you were away.

- Has Elliott chosen a building type yet?

We've drawn up what the
building might look like

in three different renderings,

so we could compare how they'd look.

- Call him up and make an
appointment, and I'll run it over.

His wife'll probably make the choice,

but we'll let him run
through the motions anyway.

- Yes, get me Mr. Cass at
the radio station, please?

- Our market is local news,
fires, traffic jams, droughts.

- I'm not so sure, Elliott.

We've got our awards for
international reporting.

- I don't give a damn about awards.

KBEX's local news has kept us

out of first place too damn long.

- You're the boss, Elliot.

If you want, we'll take 'em on
traffic jam for traffic jam.

- Paul! See you later.

Why didn't somebody tell me you were here?

- Got some news for ya.

Your building's been approved.

- Oh. What's it gonna cost me?

- Well, if you get it in a steel frame

with reflective glass, it'll
cost you $250 a square foot.

Wooden frame, $100 a square foot.

Concrete, $150 a square foot.

All the figures are right here.

- I can't believe these prices!

Welcome back!

I see you made a noisy comeback.

- Hello? Yeah, yeah, go ahead.

- I heard you were in the building.

- I was just gonna drop by and see you.

- See you tonight?

- Oh, Geri, you know,

I don't feel like I'm fit
company for socializing.

Not yet, anyway.

Paul! Are you out there?

Come on back!
- Okay.

- Mr. Kersey, I was at your office,

they told me you'd be here.

We were hoping you'd come down
and look at some mugshots,

see if you can pick out
some of those people

that were in your apartment.

- You know, it happened so fast.

No, I don't think so.

- The pictures might jog your memory.

- There really isn't any use.

Excuse me.

Let me tell you one thing.

The greatest preaching in this Bible is:

"Blessed are the pure at heart.

For only they..."

Brethren, my heart's desire

and prayer to God for Israel
is that they might be saved.

We will find in Romans 10:9 and 10

that, "If thou shalt confess

with thy mouth the Lord Jesus

and shall believe in thine heart

that God hath raised him from the dead,

thou shall be saved."

- Oh, yeah.
- "For with the heart..."

- What are you looking for?

- Looking for a room.

- No trouble here, you hear?

$50 a month.

No TV, no music after 11.

And no police.

Mister...?
- Kimble.

- No police, you hear?
- I hear.

Shall I join you?

- Oh, it's you.

Well, who were you expecting?

Raquel Welch?

- What brings you here?

- I thought I'd come and see you.

That doesn't happen too often these days.

Half my wardrobe's here

and I'm getting very bored
with wearing the other half.

Geri, I'm gonna be a while.

Why don't you go on with
what you're gonna do

and I'll see you back at the office?

Thank you for
calling General Lock Company.

- Hello, yes.

I have some locks here that need changing.

Could you do it for me today, please?

- That's them. There they are.

Let's go.

- You and you, out.

Not you.

Do you believe in Jesus?

- Yes, I do.

- Well, you're gonna meet him.

- Mr. Kersey, do you wanna join the party?

- No, thanks.

Turning on the
Sausalito area of San Francisco

and killed 3 people,

and wounded over 1,000.

- Hello?
- You're in!

- Yeah, I've been in all night.

- I called.

- I haven't been answering the phone.

Those newspaper people keep
calling me, ever since...

Well, I just haven't been answering.

- Can I cook dinner
for you tomorrow night?

- Friday night's better.

- Friday night, then.

- Okay, bye.

- Two men were found tonight shot dead

in the now vacant Hollywood
hotel on Hollywood Boulevard.

Police believe the two
deaths are drug-related.

Names are withheld pending the
notification of the families.

Six, yes, six free films

to go with your camera.

It's 9 o'clock
here in Los Angeles.

The temperature is 72 degrees.

We'll go over to Jane
Saunders for some traffic.

There's a hold-up
on Hollywood Boulevard

at Western, where a traffic
accident has tailbacks

for half a mile.

So drivers, be sure to
avoid Hollywood at Western.

- That's it, kiddo,
give 'em the local news.

Of course, in my case,

my car's such a mess anyway,

a few more bangs wouldn't
make much difference.

Now, here's Geri Nichols

with some news of an
experiment in Illinois

that's taking young
people away from crime.

In Illinois state prison...

Hallelujah, hallelujah.

I'm not staying anymore, anyhow!

I ain't gonna stand around here.

If you think I'm gonna...

- No!
- Come on.

Stop! Stop!

- Stop, please, no!

Stop! Please!

- Don't hurt Mary!

- Keep back!

No, please, please!

- Watch out!

- Goodbye.

- Come on, let's go! Come with me!

Hey, over here!

- Hold it a minute.

Let me get this straight.

Some guy pops up out of
nowhere, he starts shooting,

and you and your wife don't
know what he looks like?

- That guy saved our lives, damn it!

Where the hell were you guys?
Giving out parking tickets?

- Hold him.

All right, lady.

What did he look like?
- He was...

- He was a very good
citizen, that's what he was.

- He was a killer!

Now, you want to stay here
forever? Play it that way.

You're vital witnesses.
Don't play games with me.

You both saw him. Now,
I want a description.

- He's 21.

Blonde with a club foot.

Hmm, that's funny.

From where I was, he was a large black man

with a red beard.

Now, you let these guys
get me to the hospital

or I'm gonna give the press
interviews you won't believe.

- Take him.
- Close it off upstairs.

I said close it off!

- You know what we've got here, don't you?

A vigilante.

- A check on the bullets
of the people killed

in the last three months on the streets

reveals that this bullet,

and the others found in
the bodies of the dead men

in the car park and shed two
nights ago, match this bullet

and the others taken from the
bodies of the people killed

in the Hollywood Hotel three weeks ago.

The bullets are from a.32 automatic.

- Let me get this clear.

The man who shot the muggers
a couple of nights ago,

some stranger?

- Who the people he saved
refused to identify.

- This stranger also killed
two men in the Hollywood Hotel.

But there's no evidence to indicate

that any member of the
public was being attacked

in the hotel?
- That's right, sir.

- Come with me, Mankiewicz, will you?

My wife goes to mace class,

would you believe that?

The police commissioner's
wife at mace class

learning to spray attackers.

Now you tell me there's
a vigilante out there.

My God. The lid's only
just kept down as it is.

I can just see all kinds
of panicked citizens

taking to the streets if this gets out.

They'll knock off anyone with
long hair or tacky clothes.

- I think that I can find him.

- If we even start an investigation,

the press will hear of it.

- I learn half of what
goes on in my own force

from the newspapers.

Tell me...

wasn't there a vigilante in
Boston about five years ago?

- New York.
- New York, right.

Get on to them, see how they handled it.

It stopped there.

- We don't need outsiders in on this.

- You know, Mankiewicz,
I had a partner years ago

who always used to say to me,

"You don't need anybody's
help, just do things yourself."

Do you know where he is now? Hmm?

Did everything himself
until he got killed.

No, I'm a modest man,
Inspector Mankiewicz.

I know when I need help.

Check it out.

I want to hear what New York has to say.

- Paul, look. My wife's
just made this new drawing.

No, no. You're holding it wrong way up.

- What is it?

- It's the new entrance doorway.

It's like a medieval lodge.

- Yesterday, it was an
overhanging walkway,

and that's what we're measuring for now.

Today, it's a new medieval doorway?

- She changed her mind.

- Egads, what's that?
- Never mind, Geri.

Well, what have you two found out?

- Well, Halper at the
police department said

that there's talk of a vigilante

who's knocking off L.A.'s muggers.

- Yes, and that ties in with
what we've been picking up

from the police wavelengths

the night of the warehouse killing.

- We've been playing
into this gang warfare.

- No, but I think you gotta
put somebody on it full time.

You wanted more local news.

If we can pick up a vigilante,
that's really something!

Geri's working on a project

on citizens arming
themselves against attack.

Elliot, it just fits right in.

- We can't afford anyone on it full time.

What hard evidence have you got?

- Our man downtown's been
right before, Elliot.

- Paul? You're the
public, what do you think?

Is there a vigilante?

- Vigilante? Not likely.

- Forget it, Fred.

It's still gang warfare until
we find something solid.

Now, I want to talk to
you about that helicopter.

Do you realize how much
it's costing us an hour?

- Thank you very much, that
was going to be my story.

I mean, I don't help
you with your buildings.

- Well, thank God for that.

I've got enough help from Elliot's wife.

Straight on back.

- The district attorney will see you now.

- Thank you.

- Yes, Inspector Ochoa.
- Mr. District Attorney.

- You know the police
commissioner, of course.

Well, what about this report? You've...

- What do I know?

The Los Angeles police
has asked for advice

on their vigilante situation.

But there's something
else you should know, sir.

Paul Kersey now lives in Los Angeles.

- Oh, my God.

- Yes.

- Are you suggesting that
Kersey's out there killing again?

- Paul Kersey was an interesting man,

so I kept a loose tab on him.

He worked in Chicago for a while,

where he met an old friend of his

who ran a radio station in L.A.

And he transferred his business out there.

- But that doesn't mean that
he's the Los Angeles vigilante.

No, sir.

- What if he is?

- Yes, sir.

- If he is, and if he's caught,

the trail leads straight back to us.

We had him and we didn't prosecute.

- For damn good reason.

Street crime was down 50%.

Muggers were afraid to
go out in the streets!

- Never mind that, commissioner.

We know we'd have a martyr on our hands

if we brought him to trial,

but the fact is, we let him go.

If he's caught now, he'll
tell the world we let him go.

I'd be disbarred.

It'd be the end of your
career, Mr. Commissioner.

And you, Inspector, would
not collect your pension.

- And I retire this year.

- Well, it's quite simple.

We have to get him before they get him.

- We?

- You.

- Well, I could go to Los Angeles

in answer to their request.

And I'll try to find out

if Kersey's up to his old tricks again.

And if he is, I'll try
to stop him. Quietly.

- Kill him?

- I don't think I heard
that question, sir.

- And I don't think you asked
it, Mr. District Attorney.

- Looks good.

Tastes good, too.

- It's a special occasion.
- What's the occasion?

- It's the first time I've
seen you in four weeks.

- I've been seeing you at the office.

- Oh, sure. Last week you sent me a memo.

- Two memos.

I'm sorry.

- What's happening to us, Paul?

- I can't stop thinking about Carol.

- Well, it hasn't stopped you

discussing building services with Elliot.

And it hasn't slowed your work down.

I'm the only one that's been shut out.

I miss you, Paul.

Darling, well, at least stay the night?

- I need more time.

I think if this weren't my
apartment, I'd walk out now.

- Hi, Frank, over here.
- Mike, good to see you.

- Frank, welcome to L.A.
- Thank you.

- Gesundheit.
- Thank you.

Is this the file?

- Newspaper clippings and police
photographs on Paul Kersey.

Most of them, of course,
are about how his daughter

and housekeeper were killed by muggers.

So you never found out

who your vigilante was?
- Never.

- We heard rumors that
you did get the guy.

Just rumors.

- We were gonna check out
every person who suffered

a loss through muggings
in the last six months,

particularly a death.

How many people did
that give you?

- Well, deaths... 96.

Seriously injured, 1,500.

Rapes, 579. I can go on.

- Mm-hmm. You tie down
a lot of men that way.

- What did you do?

- We tried that route, but we gave up.

I'm going back to the
hotel, I want to lie down.

I think I caught a cold on the plane.

And the smog doesn't help, anyway.

- Hey, babe?
- Yeah?

You're not
holding out on me, are you?

- Hey, one cop to another,
would I do a thing like that?

It's all right, Miss
Nichols. I'm a policeman.

- How did you get in?
- It comes with the job.

You'd be amazed at the
things they teach us.

- What's a New York cop doing
breaking into my apartment?

- It's about your friend, Mr. Paul Kersey.

- How do you know him?

- It comes with the...
- With the job.

- He killed nine people in
New York City four years ago.

- You're not serious.

- I'm very serious.

- What station are you from?

- West 75th street. Ah, ah, ah!

It won't help calling anybody.

- Well, they sent you, didn't they?

- Well, not exactly.

- Was Mr. Kersey charged
with killing nine people?

- He was not.

See, the people he killed were muggers.

Even though the public
never knew who he was,

he became a hero.

And there were those that
felt we should encourage him

to stop and leave it at that.

But now, you see, he's doing it again.

Here, in Los Angeles.

- But there's no one I can
call to verify all this?

- My chief thinks I'm on vacation.

- You break in here and tell
me you think Paul's a murderer.

What else are you entitled to tell me?

- We think it would be
better if he stopped.

I asked him once, it didn't seem to work.

I think maybe he'll listen to you.

- I hardly ever see him
outside of the radio station.

- Doesn't it make you wonder
what he may be doing at night?

- Hey, mister, got a half hour to spare?

What's wrong with you?
Haven't you got one?

- Paul, where have you been?

- I was just out.
- Well, out where?

- I was with a friend.

A man.
- What man?

- Calm down.

Where do you think I've been?

- Killing muggers.

- You're crazy!

- A New York cop broke
into my place tonight.

- Not that... what the hell's
his name... Frank Ochoa?

- Well, he said he talked to you once.

- He asked me not to kill muggers.

- He told me that.

- Yes, that's true.

- That you killed muggers?

- No, that he asked me not to.

- Why would he ask you not to

if you weren't doing
it in the first place?

- Listen, when a policeman
finds a killer, what does he do?

- They arrest him.

Well, he did seem a bit odd.

- Not only odd, the guy is crazy.

It's that simple.

He had a moment in his life
when he was a somebody.

He was in charge of the
vigilante killings in New York.

He was all over the
newspapers, the television,

asked a lot of questions.

And the most important
question they asked him was,

"Who is the vigilante?

Have you found the vigilante?"

And of course, he hadn't.

And me, I was one on a long list of people

who had family killed by the muggers.

For all I know, he might have
accused every one of them.

But he became such a damn
pest that I left New York.

But I'll be damned if I leave Los Angeles!

I'm not gonna let him
come between you and me.

- I thought things had.
- What?

- Come between us.

- Hell no.

Stay the night?

- I thought you'd never ask.

Why did you change the locks on your door?

Wouldn't you,
after what happened?

- Do I get a key again?
- Oh, yeah.

Here, you can have it copied.

Now, don't lose it,

we may not be able to get back in tonight.

- Oh, I can't see you tonight.

- Why not?
- It's Judy's birthday

and I'm staying over with her
in Carmel after the party.

- Now who's keeping us apart?

- Darling, it's him. Ochoa.

- Well, never mind him.

Let him play his little games.

Will you call me when you get back?

- Hello. Frank, hi!

Mike?

I hate to ask you this after
you've been so helpful,

but could you do something for me tonight?

- Yeah, go ahead. What is it?

- I want you to take my car and park it

outside the front of Paul Kersey's house.

Police!

Follow the bus!

This is
proclaimed by God himself

in the holy scripture.

He's the prince of the kings of the earth.

One of these days, he'll
be called King of Kings.

Yes, heir of the heirs,

prince of kings is just
the beginning of his glory.

We must confess in God

that if thou shall confess the
Lord Jesus with thy mouth...

It all comes down to church

as a filling station.
- Amen!

You know, you run in there

with your automobile.

You run outta gas and you
go to the filling station

and fill it full up with gas.

- Amen!
- I'm going fast with it.

You go in there on Sunday
morning and fill your car up.

- Taxi! Come on, will you?

Follow that bus!

- It isn't moving.

- When it moves, follow it.

- What do we do now?
- We wait.

Can I see something there?

- Hey! Stop it, stop it!

- I think I saw something!

Just let me check the color!

I'll see it one second. Damn!

See, I really am a nice guy,

but they act like fools around me.

- Now! That bus there!

I hope you
got the bread for this.

- This is police business.

I ain't known
for my community spirit.

Show me some money.

- Here, start with this.

Go ahead, will ya!

- Stop it!

Oh, come on. Leave me alone.

Oh, give me a break, you guys.

- What's down there?
- Point Fermin.

- What's that?

- It's one of those historical monuments.

There's nothing there this time of night.

- You wait here.

You get the other half when I get back.

Whatever happens, wait here!

If you hear shooting, don't worry.

It's just target practice.

- What's happening, old man?
Where you been hiding out?

Whoo!
- Ow!

- All right!
- This is the shit.

- You all right with that?

All right, let's see the stuff.

- Show the man.
- Yeah, this is the best.

This stuff is sweet like sugar.

- Watch out!

- Over there, man!

Man!

- I'll be damned! You?

You stuck your neck out for me?

- It was you or them.

Did you get them all?

- One of them got away.

Our Father, who art in
Heaven, hallowed...

- He's dead.

- I knew he was holding out on me.

Lieutenant, over here!

Listen, I'm at
Point Fermin in San Pedro.

We need more photographers down here.

And what about the finger
printer, where the hell are they?

- Who blew away the cop?

- I'm bleeding, man!
- Who did it?

- No sign of the cab that called in.

Cab service said he was just passing by,

he didn't see anything.

- They just want to stay out of trouble.

- Listen, you're gonna die right here

if I don't hear who killed that cop.

- Nirvana! He got away.

- Who's that?
- Charles Wilson!

- Put out a tracer on Nirvana,

also known as Charles Wilson, for murder.

No hurry.

- How can an entrance door cost $500,000?

- Your wife is a very expensive designer.

She wants Italian marble, Mexican mosaic,

sculpted angels blowing horns
on either side of the doorway.

It costs a lot of money.

But here, we've drawn it up in concrete.

Even has the angels on
either side of the door.

It costs a hell of a lot less.

Why don't you ask your wife about it?

- She'll hate it.
- Ask her anyhow.

Let me know one way or the other, will ya?

- Well, do you know what time
they're gonna make their move?

Aha. Well thanks, Sergeant.

Will you please keep
those calls coming in?

All right.
- Hi, Fred. What's happening?

- Well, there was a big
shoot-out last night

at Point Fermin down in San Pedro.

There were five people killed
including a New York cop.

And our man at the department said

that the Tac Squad's been called in.

I want you glued to those
police monitors, glued.

A man called Wilson got away
from the shoot-out last night,

and the word is they may move to take him

sometime this afternoon.

And if they do, I want someone there.

We could use a good exclusive.

- Say, Fred, where do
you get these monitors?

- Oh, we adapt them
ourselves. Lots of people do.

- Happen to have a spare one lying around?

- There was one we were gonna get rid of.

Here, we've got better ones now,

but this one still works pretty well.

A gift from KABC radio!

Now, the Tac Squad, they
operate on this band,

and they identify with 3A-90.

And the truth is,

their programs are a lot
more interesting than ours.

- Thanks, Fred.

3A-68, subject's
residence located as 914 Fillmore.

Units moving into position.

5H-13, this is 3A-90.

We could use a definite 10-20.

Affirmative, 914 Fillmore.

Stay clear.

No units to move until I give the word.

- Squad three moving into position, over.

5H-13, this is 3A-90.

We have eyeball on your 10-30, over.

- Has he spotted you?
- Negative.

We're across the street from the 10-20.

Can take him now.

- Hold it, he's mine.
- Standing by.

- 3A-90, this is 5C-61.

Sir, they just entered 10-20
with two exits.

- 3A-46, subject lighting object.

Appears to be narcotics.

Permission to move in?
- Negative.

I don't want those women involved.

Wait 'til he comes out.

- George, you got a cigarette?
- 3A-68, you are in position.

Section 804, await instructions.

This is 3A-90.

Someone just jumped onto the roof of 914.

Confirm it was one of us, over.

- How the hell do I know who it is?

Hold your positions!

- Where the hell have you been?

Watch out! He's got a knife!

- Cool it, the streets are too crowded!

Hold your fire!

Okay, fellas, let's get him!

Come on, hold him down!

Hold him! That's it, take it easy, guys.

That's it, thank you, all right.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- How was the birthday party?

- Oh, we're getting a
bit old for birthdays.

Have you seen this?
- Oh, yeah. I saw it.

Do you know anything about it?

- No more than you do.

I understand your station,
KABC, got an exclusive

this afternoon when they
caught the guy who killed him.

- I heard it in the car.

- Have you eaten?

- No, I drove straight
here when I heard the news.

- Let's go to a nice place tonight.

- Okay, but I'd like to freshen up first.

- How long will it take
you? About an hour?

- About that.

- I'll pick you up in an hour.

- You know, I rather liked him.

- He was nutty, just like I told you.

- Well, at least they caught
the man that killed him.

See you later.

- Prosecution has presented
only circumstantial evidence

that Charles Wilson was
the person that shot

and killed Detective Frank
Ochoa on the night of May 14th.

It is proven that the defendant attacked

several police officers on May 15th,

but psychiatric testimony indicates

that he was under the influence of PCP,

a mind-altering drug.

- Charles I. Wilson was remanded

to the McLarren State Hospital

until such time as the
medical examining board

finds him fit to resume
his place in society.

And I suppose this is the Dr. Clark

that's gonna turn him
into a little angel, huh?

- Would a normal prison do any better?

- It would keep him from killing
somebody else for a while.

Is this all the stuff that's
going into your article?

When's it come out?

- I've got a couple more
sessions at the hospital,

but it's due to go in the July issue.

- Do you really believe all this?

- Yes, I do.

And you might, too, if you heard Clark.

- You think he could swing me over?

Well, if you met him, you
might learn something.

Maybe you're right.

Maybe you're right.

- I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting.

- Dr. Clark, this is Mr. Kersey.

- I'm so glad you wanted to come along.

The more people that understand
our work, the better.

- I appreciate your letting me come.

- Come on.
- Say, Doctor,

where is the men's room?
- Oh, let me show you.

You go straight down the
hall, around the corner,

and second on your left.
- Thank you.

The right.

Would Dr. Ferguson report

to the Intensive Care Unit?

Dr. Al Ferguson to Intensive Care.

- Now, this is one of our
more successful cases.

I'm using false names, of course.

Now, before I get started,

I want to say how much I appreciate

the time you've given me on KABC.

Not everyone's as
sympathetic to our work here

as you and Miss Nichols.

Now...

- You're late.

- Look, they gave me the cover!

- How about that?

"Next Month, Geri Nichols
on Crime and Punishment

in Los Angeles."

That's terrific.

- Do you think Elliott
will give me a raise?

- He might give you a reduction

because of all the hours
you've spent at the hospital.

- Well, you've spent enough time there.

You must know the place
nearly as well as I do.

- Yeah, but I'm still not converted.

All those theories are
just that. Theories.

- Ooh! Dom Perignon?

- Enjoy your lunch.
- Can't be my birthday,

that was last month and you forgot.

But that's all right.

- Will you marry me?

- Are you serious?

- Yes, I'm serious.

- You're not sick?

- Might be after I see the
check, but I feel fine now.

Easy, easy!

This stuff costs $3 a drop.

That was a $9 kiss.

- I accept. That'll teach you.

- This is the way it'll go.

Next Wednesday, we'll catch
the midnight flight to Acapulco

and get married in Mexico.

- And I thought you weren't a romantic.

- After the program, you drive
to my place, then off we go.

Let's get smashed.

Then I want it in writing.

I know, it's ridiculous.

- Excuse me?

I'm looking for a patient, Charles Wilson.

I believe he's in C block.

Is that right?

- Yes, C block, section 6, room 30.

- It's that way.
- Thank you.

I'm Dr. Carter,

court-appointed therapist
for Charles Wilson.

- We don't have your name down here.

My appointment was for 9:00.

Well, they
usually give me a list

with doctors coming through.

- I was told a Mr. Kay
would be here on duty.

- Oh, that's me, but I can't
let you through unless...

- Well, Mr. Kay, I'm already late.

I'd like to finish up and
get back home to dinner.

Now, if you don't mind, would
you please show me to room 30?

- Hi, Eileen. Cook it
all by yourself, did you?

- That's right.

- If you don't want to stay for dinner,

just punch 3600 to get out.

3600?

- I've got to take the doctor down here.

Enjoy the food, then.

Will Dr. Dick
Middlemass please go to Ward 16?

Dr. Middlemass to Ward 16.

The score will remain

as the call is offside
against the Rough Riders.

The Tigers have been...

- Do you want to use
the interview room here

or see him in the cell?
- This will do.

What's that back there?

- Well, that's the electroshock room.

Since you fellas took over,
they don't use it very much.

It's all done with kindness now.

Isn't that right, Doctor?
- Therapy.

- Call it what you like.

Okay, Wilson, you got a visitor.

Let's go. You know the routine.

Do you want me to stay?

- It's not necessary.

- Well, if you need me, just pull this.

I'll get my dinner.

- I said to my wife,

"Where do you want to go
for your anniversary?"

She said, "I want to go somewhere
I've never been before."

I said, "Try the kitchen."

- He raped and killed my daughter.

- I read about it.

I'll give you three minutes
'til I ring the alarm.

You're wasting time.

To open the door you punch out...

- 3600?
- That's right.

- Hey, man, what's wrong with you?

You got a problem or somethin'?

- What's your fucking problem, man?

- Hey, man, wash this car, will ya?

- Paul?

Okay, give
that to citywide. 13-27...

And that ends our presentation

of Music on the Sweet Side for now.

But I'll be back at midnight

with some more relaxing,
kinda restful sounds

for your late-night listening.

KABC news time at 10:30.

The murder of Charles
Wilson at McLarren Hospital

has just been revealed by authorities.

The murder took place
tonight of the man accused

of murdering New York
policeman, Frank Ochoa.

Charles Wilson was undergoing
psychiatric treatment

at the hospital.

It is not clear at this
time whether the killing was

by other prisoners, but
there seems to be evidence

that a man entered Wilson's
cell disguised as a doctor.

Gang warfare in downtown
Los Angeles tonight

turned into looting and
violence against the police...

KABC radio news for
Tuesday, October the 10th.

At a press conference this morning,

Inspector Mankiewicz
denied that two murders

in downtown Los Angeles were
the work of a vigilante.

But rumors still persist that
the spate of street killings

by a person unknown may be by
a citizen turned vigilante.

- My wife wants it, we'll have it.

- You got it.

You don't put up a
building every day nowadays.

Okay!

- Hey, Paul, we've been
pals for a long time.

- Yep.

- I know Geri's going must have hit you.

- Have you been drinking?

- Hey, you know better than that.

- Where in the hell
have you been at night?

I've called you dozens of times.

- Well, I don't often answer the phone.

It rings, sometimes I
answer, sometimes I don't,

but I'm fine.

- Betty's giving a new
building party next Thursday.

We'd like you to join us.
- I'll be there.

- Are you sure you're free?

- What else would I be doing?
