um um

Soon as it rang, Hausman was stolen, so
finding it was very little interest to

anybody except the legal owner.

What about the girl?

Did the guard get a good look at her?

No, she wore a floppy hat, and she held
the bullhorn up in front of her face.

I received this in my mail this morning.

The rest to you and the editors of all
the local papers.

Most of it is the usual ego -trip
garbage you expect from these groups

great escape they engineered.

But that last paragraph is something
else.

Don't attempt to return our brother to
your imperialist Buchenwald, or you will

have a riot that will make the October
12th incident look like an art festival.

The Predators.

Of course, they're angling for a
confrontation.

I don't want you to attempt to return
Mr. Carterhausen to custody.

I want you to do it.

Quietly, if possible. They thrive on
headlines.

If possible.

But do it.

Hi. I'll call you back.

Hello. You have a visitor.

What does he want?

Your job.

He's your replacement.

It's high school youth day. You know,
acting mayor, acting DA, acting

supervisor, acting chief Ironside.

It's Ted Barringer, Jr.

Well, I'm glad to meet you, Ted.

I know your father both professionally
and personally.

Yes, sir, I know.

Well, try to make your day interesting.
Here, sit down.

Try to make your day interesting and
hopefully informative.

Thank you.

But before we begin, sir, I think
there's something I have to tell you.

I didn't ask to be assigned here.

You mean you didn't want to be?

That's right.

Well, I'd be interested in knowing why,
if you care to tell me.

Because I don't approve of the way you
do things.

In that case, let's hope the day will be
mutually informative.

You mentioned before you didn't agree
with the way I do things.

Do you have anything specific in mind?

Well, it's not just you. I know that you
just carry out orders.

Sometimes I also give them.

Which one or ones do you take exception
to?

Arresting Carter Houseman.

I don't think he should have been.

You think he was merely exercising the
right of free speech?

That's right. Which exercise started a
riot that cost over a quarter of a

million dollars in property damage?

But what he said was the truth.

That's open to debate, Ted.

However, along with free speech comes
responsibility.

Didn't someone say that free speech does
not include the right to yell fire in a

crowded theater?

Can I say what I really think?

You have so far.

I don't think that Justice Holmes meant
that to be used as a cop -out for the

police.

Inspector?

Oh, Carl.

Dad, I want you to meet Inspector Reese.

Ted Barringer, my alter ego.

Welcome aboard. How do you do?

Now, what do you have on Carter Hausman?
Nothing so far.

except the break was handled by what
they call a special attack cell.

Enforcers. The regular membership has no
idea as to their identity or what they

do, but they're afraid of them.

Interesting, isn't it, Ted? What happens
to a clean -living anarchist?

Sets out to tear down the establishment,
finds he needs the equivalent of the

one establishment tool he claims to hate
the most, a police force.

Houseman has to be hiding out somewhere.

The longer he stays at Liberty, the more
hay they'll make of it.

I pass the word to all our informants.
Keep the pressure on it and keep in

touch. Will do. See you.

Bye. Bye.

Before we get started on the rest of the
daily schedule, I have a very important

question to ask you.

Yes, sir?

Do you like chili?

Yeah. All right, Eve.

You heat up an extra bowl of chili? I
don't know. These gourmet meals take a

of practice.

the afternoon, starting with expert
testimony of the murder trial.

Due in court in ten minutes, Mark.

The computer knows.

The computer knows.

Any questions you want to ask, fire
away.

Suppose you send an innocent man to
prison.

It can happen.

Doesn't it bother you?

Of course it does.

Would you go on doing your thing?

My thing, Ted, is also protecting the
innocent.

Next question.

What would you do if you saw a man
breaking a law that you thought was a

law? I'd arrest him. So what about the
Boston Tea Party? They broke the law.

be in charge of the Boston police on
December 16th, 1773.

I would have arrested the colonists who
threw that tea in the harbor.

And he doesn't even like tea.

The issue of taxation without
representation might have been fought

instead of on the battlefield.

The King George would have won.

Not necessarily.

I can't second -guess our founding
father, but George had a very poor track

record in court tests of his commodity
tax package.

Tax on tea was all he had left of it.

I am not suggesting that a good cop...
could have changed history by arresting

the participants of the Boston Tea
Party.

Sooner or later, the revolution would
have been fought with the same result.

You know what I think?

I'm saying that laws are not revised on
the enforcement level.

They aren't written in the streets,
either.

We got you some coffee.

These came while you were out.

How's it going?

I think the chief's a little ahead on
the point.

Seems like a nice kid, even though he
disapproves of us. Us? What do you mean,

us? I'm not the fuzz, huh?

Your usual charming self, but... Tell
them all no.

Well, Ted, it's been a very full
afternoon for you.

I hope you found it as enjoyable as I
have.

In other words, I can go home now.

School's out.

It's almost five o 'clock. Your father
will be expecting you for dinner.

Mark will drive you home in Ed's car.

No, no, I can take the bus.

We wouldn't think of it.

Well, it's been a pleasure.

Same here.

Remember me to your father.

Yes, sir, I will.

Ironside. This is Carl.

We hit pay dirt.

Hausman's going to a meeting at 410
Telegraph.

He's supposed to be there in an hour.

We'll be there.

Everybody set?

All right, let's move.

They're on the way.

Love you, Ben.

How about putting the Internacional on
the stereo?

That'll blow their minds.

No, man, we don't have to freak it out.

The pig's going to be strung out enough
as it is.

Police. I knew we didn't send out for
chop suey.

They have a warrant to search this
residence.

Search it for what?

A man named Carter Hausman.

Well, I guess you got me, officers.

You're not Carter Hausman.

Oh, I didn't say I was, but you sure got
me.

Sit down, mister. We'll get to you.

Search the house. You're the man, Dad.

It's against some law now that I can't
have some friends over for a little

Where's Aspen?

You keep talking about this man, I don't
know who you mean.

Ben, do you know what the man's talking
about?

Beat me.

What about a militant group known as the
Predators?

Does that name mean anything to you?

Well, I've heard of them. But there are
no members of that group in this room.

What are you putting us on?

I don't know anything about it, like I
said.

We were just over here having a little
wine, a rap.

Hausman was seen entering this place
less than half an hour ago.

I wasn't tripped out, was I?

I mean, I would have seen somebody walk
through that front door half an hour

ago. Oh, you did.

That's about the time I got here.

Jeff is right.

There must have been some mistake.

Not that big a mistake.

Your friend brought Hausman here,
according to the description I got for

stakeout. Officer, somebody's putting
you out.

Somebody's trying to.

There's an old wine cellar under the
house, the connecting door into the

adjoining residence.

Check with your stakeout.

See, you left that house within the last
half hour.

That's what happens when you rent an old
house.

Yeah, they don't build them like they
used to. Anybody leave the house next

recently?

I see.

Okay.

A couple left there on a cycle about ten
minutes before we got here.

That steakhouse didn't recognize his
husband?

Not as a black.

And any writing paper you find in the
place.

That's my personal property.

Thank you for identifying it. Carl, make
a note.

This gentleman owns that typewriter.

Well, congratulations, all of you.

You are under arrest.

You're kidding.

What have we done?

Why, you aroused my suspicions.

Inspector Reese will advise you of your
rights and privileges.

Look, we didn't do anything. We haven't
broken any laws.

I'm sure your attorney will approve of
that statement.

Now, I strongly urge you to stick to it
until you have an opportunity to talk to

him. Let's go, Ed.

I want your men to really shake this
place down.

Right.

What is your name?

Don't attempt to return our brother to
your imperialist Buchenwald, or you will

have a riot that will make the October
12th incident look like an art festival.

Passing them on this matter.

Ted, I didn't know you were representing
the Predators.

I'm representing certain clients.

Not any organizations they may or may
not belong to.

Put it on again.

The typing you see on the left is a
portion of a note received by

Randall this morning relative to the
escape of Carter Hausman from the

Honor Farm.

The slide on the right was made by
typing the same words on a typewriter

in the residence where we picked up your
clients.

And on paper we found there.

You'll observe that the typing and the
paper are identical in both notes.

I assume you had the proper authority to
remove that typewriter from my client's

residence. You assume correctly.

Not much of a case for the prosecution,
Robert.

Oh, I expect it to improve as we go
along.

Incidentally, I enjoyed having your son
with me this afternoon. He's quite a

boy. Thank you.

I think so.

I gather he approves of you, too.

Well, in that case, I better not
disappoint him.

Ted Jr. would expect me to get off the
dime and have a judge set bail for my

client. Good night.

Well, at least he didn't say, I'll see
you in court.

He will.

But at least he didn't say it.

It's been a clear, way -out day.

Out of sight.

We were picking flowers.

Having a ball out in Golden Gate Park.

Really groovy.

And along come the pigs.

Got it lit now, lover.

Bye.

We put a tap on that phone as soon as we
got the word.

That call was recorded 14 minutes before
we got there.

I'm by it as a warning.

All the key words are there, certainly.

The question is, how did she know?

Where was the leak?

Chief, I don't know if this means
anything, but yesterday when I was

Barringer home, we got hung up in
traffic.

There was an accident ahead of us.

Well, they asked me to pull into a gas
station so they could call this girl to

tell her that he'd be late picking her
up.

You think I wanted to tip her off that
something was up?

I just mentioned it.

I wouldn't want to jump to any unfair
conclusions just because Ted isn't one

our strong admirers.

But I do think we ought to have a talk
with that young lady, whoever she may

Good night, Ted. I really had a good
time.

So did I.

Well, I guess I'd better go in.

It's early.

How about, um, listen to a couple of
records?

I better not.

Edie really plays the mother bit if I
stay up too late on a school night.

I know what you mean. My old man's the
same way.

I made you the heavy.

Who are you out with?

Ted. You know, he's getting to be a
drag.

He thinks he's really with it, but he's
really pretty square.

I don't think I'll go out with him
anymore.

Answer it.

Police. I wonder if you'd mind coming
downtown with us.

Why? I haven't done anything.

We're not arresting you. We'd just like
you to answer a few questions. That's

all. What about?

Ted Barringer, the boy who just brought
you home.

What kind of questions? Why can't you
ask them here?

Because we're not the only ones who'd
like to talk to you. It won't take long,

promise you.

You may, if you choose, refuse to answer
any of our questions.

Do you understand?

What is it you want to know?

You have a friend named Ted Barringer.

You already know that. I was out with
him tonight.

You had a date with him last night also,
I understand.

Did he phone you to let you know he'd be
a little late picking you up?

Yes. He explained why he was late?

Something about an accident.

He wasn't in the accident. He made that
clear.

Clear enough.

Did he say anything else to you?

Like what?

We're asking you.

A little small talk, maybe. I don't
remember.

The main point of the call was to tell
me he'd be late.

Why? What is it you think Ted's done?

We're not sure.

Morning. I wonder if I might talk to
Ted.

Why, of course. He's just in town to
have some coffee with us.

I'll break him out. I suspect he's come
out of the sack.

Ted's not in any trouble.

He might be.

I know why you're here.

Laurie already phoned me.

You could have asked me what I said to
her on the phone. You didn't have to

her downtown for questioning.

It so happens we did have to.

I gather you're very fond of her.

Yes, I am.

How long have you two been going
together?

A couple of months.

Then, of course, you know her family.

No, her family split up. She lives with
her sister.

What's that got to do with anything?

You must have heard.

We did not capture Carter Hausman in
that raid. He got away.

I didn't warn him.

Well, Chief, our side hasn't suggested
that you did, son.

No, we certainly didn't. We had a phone
tap on the line, which recorded the

voice of the girl who gave the warning.

Last night when I questioned Laurie
Stockton, the purpose of bringing her to

headquarters was so that we could record
her answers on tape.

Sounds kind of like a police state,
doesn't it?

Having people's private phone lines,
taping their conversations, informers

spying for you. Your father will assure
you that we would have had any court

orders that were necessary.

That's right.

We also have a device known as a voice
profile analyzer. It makes pictures of

the sound waves of the human voice.

So you're going to tell me that the girl
who phoned that warning was Laurie,

huh? No, it definitely was not Laurie.

However, our experts found so many
similarities in Laurie's profile to that

the girl who did make the call, they're
certain the girl's a member of Laurie's

family. I'm not certain that would hold
up in court.

At least not his identification, Bob.

We're a long way from bringing charges,
Ted.

I'm merely putting my cards on the table
for both of you.

Now the big question.

Did you mention Houseman to Laurie when
you phoned to say you'd be late?

I might have. I don't remember.

Did you mention having heard that he was
going to attend a meeting?

I could have. I just don't remember.

Well, it was not your intent that she
would warn Houseman or see that he was

warned. Dad, if I thought I could get
word of that right to Houseman, I would

have.

Does that answer your question?

It raises another one.

Why?

I told you before, because Hausman
didn't do anything wrong.

And I answered that before.

He told the truth.

That's what his conviction's really all
about.

He opened people's eyes as to how
they're being cheated on this urban

project.

Dad, their homes are being condemned.

So there's some fat...

Cats can get even fatter building
apartment houses.

No, Dad, I want to be honest.

I'm for housemen.

I hope they never catch up with him.

I've said it.

Take me in.

I don't arrest people for having an
opinion.

Thank you for your time.

And for your candor.

What are you going to do about Laurie?

The establishment still believes the
young lady has a right to answer her

telephone. I hope you never have to find
out the hard way that some of the

people you seem to admire so much play
by less civilized rules.

This is all news to me, Robert.

I'm still not quite sure what it's all
about.

Wouldn't it be nice if someone could
find a way to combine the knowledge of

youth? With the knowledge of A.

I want an explanation, Ted.

I thought that's what I'd been giving.

I want an explanation of why you lied to
Chief Ironside.

I told him exactly how I felt about
Hausman. No, no, no, not about Hausman.

About that girl, Laurie.

What about her?

You haven't been seeing her for months.

Dad, do you have some kind of private
eye following me around?

Oh, come on, Ted, you know better than
that.

I've never heard you mention her before.
You've never been secretive about the

people you were seeing.

So I didn't happen to mention her.

You were ashamed of her?

Is that why you kept her a secret?

All right.

So I just started going with her.

But that still doesn't mean that I want
Ironside to get after her.

How deep are you in this Hausman thing,
Ted?

You heard it all.

You certain?

Where are you going?

To school.

Not today.

What do you mean?

You're going to spend the day here with
me every minute of it.

Why? I heard Chief Ironside's warning,
and I'm going to see that you pay

attention to it.

a very interesting chat with Laurie's
high school counselor.

I'm prepared to be interested.

She's an excellent student.

Top ten percent of her class. Definitely
a leader, but... But, unfortunately,

the counselor feels her leadership tends
toward the radical side of school

politics. You talked with him after I
left?

No. Well, anyway, that's one of the
things that disturbed your counselor.

What else?

She's very popular with boys.

I thought that was supposed to be a
healthy situation for a young lady.

Except that her counselor feels that
Laurie uses her attractiveness to

young men in her causes.

I suppose it had to happen.

A high school might have hurried.

Well, Ted says he's been going with that
chick for months.

He must be a good man in traffic.

He was protecting her.

All right, Ted.

Chief, call.

Our girl has started to move.

She took a cab from her house, changed
to a bus, transferred to another bus,

just picked up a car parked at a
shopping center. She's driving south on

Deerfield Road.

We're on our way.

Mata Hari's big sister?

Raise his man up in Taylor.

Eve, you are running the store.

I rotated four cars to tail her down
here so the young lady should be very

secure. Her car is parked in front of a
cabin a quarter of a mile up a dead

road, the second one south of here.

No life around the cabin. She's probably
still inside.

Check that.

There she is.

We obviously brought that car down here
for someone else's use.

Inspector, report for stakeout at the
cabin.

A guy just got in the car and headed
south.

Yeah, they caught turn around put your
hands on top

Okay,

Mark, let's get back to the city

You got what you wanted.

What's that?

Carter Haslam's been arrested.

It was just on the news.

Well, I didn't know that was what I
wanted.

Come on, Dad.

You've been sitting on me all day long
like a mother hen or something.

And don't tell me that wasn't your idea.

It was not my idea.

I simply wanted to foreclose any
possibility of your further involvement.

thought I made that clear, Ted.

Same thing, isn't it?

Not at all.

Is it okay if I go out now?

Yeah.

Chief Hindsight's office.

Just a moment, please.

A woman, Chief. She says she has a
message for you about Carter Houseman.

Ironside.

Chief. Uh, Ted Barringer.

They wanted you to be the first to know
that, uh, if you don't release Carter

Houseman and drop all charges against
him and the Predators, they're going to

kill me.

And, uh, tell my father I'm being
treated okay.

Up to now.

Please do what they tell you.

This is no game we're playing with you,
Chief.

I hope we don't have to play rough to
make you a believer.

You've got until midnight to make up
your mind.

out of time.

We're willing to negotiate.

There's nothing to negotiate.

If I wanted to exchange Houseman for the
boy, how would I contact you?

We'll be listening to the 11 o 'clock
news.

If the announcer gives a news item
saying there was a wreck on Highway 30,

know we have a deal.

We'll call you.

Yes?

Chief, that call came from a phone booth
at the corner of Haight and Belvedere.

Thank you.

You got it?

Yeah.

There's no pattern.

She's just cruising around the city.

She finally came home.

Sit down, Miss Doctor.

We've been wanting to talk to you all
day.

You weren't at home or at school.

I was nowhere in particular.

Why? A friend of yours has been
kidnapped.

I assume you know that.

I heard about it on the radio.

What's that got to do with me?

Did you see Ted last night?

He came over for a couple of hours.

We played records and talked and then he
went home.

And that's all I know.

I want you to listen to that.

Chief, don't make the big mistake.

Don't force us to pull.

if it takes that to make believers out
of you and the other pigs.

Now, that is your sister.

Where are they holding him?

I don't know.

Honest. Laurie, where have you been all
day?

Just driving around, trying to figure
things out. What things?

Edie.

Why she did this.

You mean you knew your sister was in on
it?

I wasn't positive till I heard that.

I was pretty sure.

Why?

I heard her talking on the phone right
after Ted left last night. She mentioned

his name.

I couldn't make out what she was saying
and it only took a few seconds.

Then she went out.

She didn't come home last night or this
morning.

And when I heard about the kidnapping,
I... You mean you didn't know anything

about it last night? That that's what
she was planning?

I knew she was on house and inside.

So was I.

I didn't know about this.

You've got to believe that.

All right, Laurie.

And I want you to listen to me.

If you have any idea where Ted Berenger
is, I want you to tell us now,

before it's too late.

Too late for Ted?

Or your sister?

I don't.

I just don't.

Dad was on the tube a few minutes ago.

He's pulling some strings, but he wants
more time.

He knows how much time he's got.

Maybe you ought to put me on the phone
to Ironside again.

I could sound real scared this time.

I'm against that.

Might give the impression we're
panicking.

I think it would panic them.

You don't know how much pressure my dad
can put on those people, even the

governor. I could care less about your
father.

Well, you want to get Hausman out. Isn't
that the whole idea?

Not by having Theodore Barringer do the
job for us.

What difference does it make?

We're building our power base, not your
father's.

Carter Hausman is our pilot project.

If we make the establishment back down
in Hiskey, we can go all the way.

What do you mean?

We call the plays, Ted. That's what we
mean.

I thought you just wanted Hausman.

You know something?

You're pretty naive.

Hausman's a fool.

But he makes a dandy symbol.

My father defended you.

Do you think he's a fool, too?

No, he's not a fool.

Just another score.

Took oath by the old rule.

Got to do it, Tom.

You're the only one who has the power.

Your Honor, the houseman was convicted
in your court. You wrote the conditions

of his probation.

As I recall, I was accused in some areas
of being excessively lenient with him.

And I'm asking you to be even more
lenient.

Amend the probation.

Scrub the honor farm time from houseman
sentence.

You understand the implication of that
action?

Tom, I understand.

They've got my son.

Sir.

It comes down to this. We have no other
option.

We have to treat Ted Barringer's
kidnapping as we would any other. Pay

ransom.

Well, I can appreciate your feelings,
but... Question.

If I amend my probation order on
Hausman, am I not inviting a deluge of

kidnappings? Where does it stop?

I can't answer that.

The amendment of my commitment order on
Hausman.

Thank you, Tom.

Let's go.

And that concludes today's weather
report.

A late bulletin informs me that traffic
will be held up on Highway 30 due to a

traffic accident. I knew they'd cave in.
I'll be right back.

As soon as I give them their
instructions.

Smile, kid.

We won.

Ironside.

We got the message.

You ready to move?

Yes. Okay.

Drive north to the end of Thomas Road.

Turn left.

Go a quarter of a mile.

Stop.

Turn your headlights off.

If there are any police in the area, you
can just forget it. There won't be.

You have my word.

Better be good.

All right, that's it, Ed.

Stand by, just in case.

Come on, move.

Well?

How's that?

Any trouble with him?

We want it all.

Oh, Edie, we got a miss. Go see me.

Nope, nope.

Sandwiches are ready. Oh, thank you.

11 .32.

I just looked at mine.

They couldn't be there yet. It's a good
40 -minute drive to that area.

Ed, you don't suppose they're walking
into some kind of trap, do you?

That predator outfit, anything's
possible.

You're not supposed to say that.

You're supposed to reassure me.

If I did, you'd know I was lying.

You're not eating your sandwich.

Neither are you.

I was just thinking about what Ted said
to the chief.

I don't approve of the way you do
things.

I wonder what he thinks of the way they
do things.

Well, we'll know in about a half an
hour.

I hope.

exactly. Are you sure there are no
police cars in this area?

Positive.

Everything's been diverted.

Even the routine patrols.

Well, why haven't they shown them?

I don't know.

Any idea why your friends would stand
you up?

They won't.

I think I'll take a look around.

That road worked kind of hard to follow.

All right

Yeah, put it through.

Call coming through my office.

Chief, can I touch my father?

Yeah, he's right here.

I got away from them.

Ted, where are you?

I called as soon as I could to a phone
booth.

Are you sure you're all right?

Yeah. Hey, Dad?

I sure got a lot to make up for.

Okay. I understand, son.

Look, why don't you meet us at Chief
Ironside's headquarters?

I'll pay.

Hit the light. Get Mark back here.

Don't move and you won't be hurt.

Now put your hands behind your head.

I walk back to the boss.

Kill those lights!

Go back to the car, Jess. Have the motor
running.

We don't want to have to shoot. Let us
have Hausman.

I thought you were bringing us the boy.
That was our deal.

Deal's been changed.

Incidentally, I've been meaning to ask
you, how did you subdue Miss Stockton so

I thought she was prepared to go at
least three falls.

Reason, logic, and a bit of silvery
-tongued oratory.

I simply told the young lady if she
didn't behave herself, I'd knock all her

I always knew you were a very persuasive
lawyer.

Well, it's been a long day for all of
us.

Thank you, Bob.

Good night.

Thank all of you.

Chief, I think it's time for me to tell
you something.

I was with them.

We all make mistakes, Ted.

Before we're 20, before we're 30, after

I like yours better.

I like yours.

Good night. Good night.
