[SIRENS WAILING]

[♪♪♪]

[MEWLS]

[WHISPERING] What's the matter?

A black cat.

[WHISPERING] What is it?

Oh, he found himself a kitty cat.

Can you believe it?

Come on.

[DOOR OPENS] Get back.

Hello? Anybody in here?

[SCREAMS]

[WHEEZING]

He's still breathing.

Yeah. But he's not breathing right.

Come on. Let's get out of here.

I think he's having a heart attack.

Come on. Get the stuff.

Maybe he's got something in his pocket.

Some pills or something.

Yeah, here they are.

Come on, you old man! Get out of here!

Let me just put these under his--

It's too late.

He's gone.

Hey, this ain't like murder, is it?

No, no. It--

He just had a heart attack, that's all.

Well, old men have heart attacks.

It ain't our fault. It's just--

May not seem like murder to you, Jenks, my boy.

I have a feeling this man's friends

might think different about it.

Come on, get the stuff. Let's go.

RYKER: Why would Dave go in there

without pulling his gun?

I don't know, Eddie.

Well, yeah.

Security patrol, that kind of neighborhood,

you tend to let your guard down a little.

Well, when Dave was on the force,

he'd be the last man in the world

to pull a stunt like that.

Come on, Eddie. The man's dead.

You sound like you want to put him on report.

I do. He's my friend. I'd like to see him alive again.

You tell his wife yet?

They split up. About four years ago.

I didn't know that.

Has it been that long since we all got together?

I've been a doorshaker for eight years, Eddie.

I don't think we got together more than two or three times

since I started the agency.

Never thought it'd be that long, did you?

Not the way the three of us were when we started out.

Where do we start?

I want you to assign

some additional officers to that neighborhood.

I think I've got an organized burglary ring started there.

How many officers?

I'd like to have a hundred.

[BOTH LAUGH]

In that case, I can't spare any.

Well, so somewhere between those two numbers,

zero and a hundred,

we ought to find a figure we can compromise on,

don't you think?

Well, how 'bout the number we all started out with?

You and me and Dave.

How 'bout three?

Meet Officers Webster, Gillis and Danko.

Gentlemen, this is Mr. Art Haskell.

These?

Mm-hm.

Well, Eddie, you know, if, uh--

Maybe you have some men with more experience, I--

RYKER: Art,

as you well know, a police department

is overworked, understaffed, underpaid and generally unloved.

I picked these guys 'cause they're the best available.

Because you need them. And they need you.

So do we go?

No appeal, huh?

Art, I'm a reasonable man. You can always appeal.

Okay, I'm appealing.

I want some men with more experience.

Art, they have exactly the same amount of experience

you and I had when we first started.

Appeal denied, in other words.

No other words. Those are the words.

RYKER: You want to add anything? Nope.

I'll wait outside.

See you men in five minutes.

Bring your notebooks.

All right, gentlemen. This is it.

Mr. Haskell operates a security patrol

in the Westdale area.

He's had seven burglaries in the last three months.

He has asked our help--

Uh, excuse me, lieutenant.

Uh, but isn't that kind of overreacting?

I mean, as far out as it sounds,

just two burglaries a month in any community

isn't cause for alarm.

It is when you only had three last year

and when a man was killed as a result

of one of these burglaries.

Only three the whole of last year?

And the whole of the year before.

You'll be on special assignment in the area.

You'll get further details from Mr. Haskell regarding m.o.

and any possible evidence.

Questions?

Sir, uh, to whom are we responsible?

To me, through him.

His name ring a bell to any of you?

No. No, sir.

Art Haskell is the best cop I've ever seen on the force.

And the best I ever expect to see.

Then why isn't he still on the force?

Because he was muscled out 10 years ago

for being the leader of a movement

to establish a patrolman's pension fund.

Developed a little drinking problem.

He got rid of it.

And he opened up this security agency.

Lieutenant, you know, you didn't exactly stress

this kind of assignment

when you talked to us about a new breed of police officer.

No, Officer Gillis, I didn't.

And you didn't exactly mention that you felt

that only the downtrodden were entitled

to fair law enforcement.

Art Haskell has paid his dues and part of ours.

To repeat, he's the best cop I've ever seen

and the best I ever expect to see.

Learn from him.

[BELL DINGS]

Why don't you fellas stretch your legs?

I'm gonna get some gas and I'll show you the neighborhood.

MAN: Hi, Art. HASKELL: Hey, Fred.

How are you? Give me $3 worth of gas.

Check the oil too?

Yeah, Fred. Please. Please.

Anything new on those burglaries?

Not yet, Fred. But we're working on it.

Whoa, watch it.

Oh, sorry, Art.

Your oil's fine. Good.

These cops gonna help you patrol?

Well, for a little while, I guess.

That's a good idea, I'd say.

You want any trading stamps?

No. No, Fred. You keep them for yourself.

Give them to the missis. Ha, ha. Thanks.

You guys ready to go? Yep.

Yeah. Let's go.

[ENGINE STARTS]

Uh, I hate to say I told you so, but, uh, I told you so.

Yeah? Well, I'm getting out of here now.

You and me both.

Neither one of you are getting anywhere.

You leave this area

and there'll be more cops on your tail

than a toad has warts.

We stay put.

And it's business as usual.

You mean, business as usual here.

You don't mean knocking off any more places.

I mean, business as usual.

[♪♪♪]

I owe this community a debt.

You wouldn't want to stop me from repaying that debt.

Wouldn't be fair.

All my old friends in the neighborhood.

HASKELL: The m.o. is always the same.

People return home to find they've been cleaned out.

Or I arrive late, just after a silent alarm.

Window open, door locks just possibly picked.

Why just possibly picked?

Officer Webster, when a door has not been forced,

a key is the last thing that you rule out.

Has any of the stuff shown up at the local pawnshops?

HASKELL: Nothing yet. Maybe they're fencing the stuff.

It would have turned up by now. It's all pawnable.

No, it reflects the nature of the burglars.

I don't understand, sir. How's that?

They're new at it.

Whoever's fencing this stuff doesn't have a big contact.

Any hypes in the neighborhood?

Oh, we have a few three-button lawyers

that smoke a joint and feel they've liberated their heads.

But if you talk about somebody on a habit,

needs bread to feed it,

the last time anyone around here dropped acid,

it was to wash down the walls of a swimming pool.

[CHORTLES]

Well, uh, that certainly doesn't give us much

to go on, does it, sir?

That doesn't give us anything to go on, Officer Gillis.

That's why I asked Eddie for help.

Now, he tells me that one of you men is married.

Which one is that? Uh, that'd be me.

All right, you'll take the early turn.

Ten until 4. You other two overlap.

Midnight till 6.

Uh, which one do you take, sir?

Me? I take them all.

See you later. Yeah.

Well, I can see what Ryker meant.

Guy's good.

So are the people he's up against.

The people we're up against.

[GILLIS SIGHS]

Well...

Well...

[SNORTS] ...5:40.

Where do you suppose our friend Haskell is now, hm?

Who knows? He, uh, kept his route a secret.

He's probably cruising the whole area, huh?

Probably.

WEBSTER: Uh-oh. Looks like action.

GILLIS: Yeah.

[TIRES SQUEAL]

[SIREN WAILING]

[TIRES SCREECH]

GILLIS: All right, sir.

Just hold it right there, please.

Driver, please keep your hands where I can see them.

Look, I live right here on the corner.

She was just dropping me off, you know?

Could I see your operator's license?

MAN: Could you lower

your voice, please,

before my wife sticks her head out the window

to see what's going on?

And sees what is going on.

May I see your operator's license

to verify that address, please, sir?

Yeah.

[OVER RADIO] Ludlow 7, Haskell here.

Come in, please.

I'll get it.

Okay, Mr. Fullmer.

Not so loud, man.

She's got ears like a giraffe.

Roger.

Willie? Silent alarm.

1611 Belton Terrace.

[♪♪♪]

He's breathing.

I said, he's breathing.

Now, it's not a good idea to move him.

Especially with a head injury.

I've already phoned for the meat wagon.

It's on its way.

[♪♪♪]

What'd you come up with? Uh, nothing new, sir.

That's just a preliminary D.R. number.

Anything on Mike?

Concussion. He's resting at home today.

He'll be on the job tomorrow.

How are you two?

Bushed.

We had to wait at the house till the owners got back.

Uh, they were hosting the Jaycee Telethon.

Yeah, and Mr. Haskell didn't want us

to leave the house unattended.

He's right. Is that all?

Except for an idea we'd like to lay on you.

Listening.

Mike said that he answered the silent alarm.

And as soon as he stopped, somebody belted him from behind.

Now, when we pulled up, Haskell was there.

That's true. So what?

Well, sir, we want to go on record

as at least being aware of the fact

that Haskell might be pulling these burglaries himself.

Well, he knows everyone's schedule.

Knows when they'll be in or out.

He has access-- Now, look here, Officer Gillis,

I know how you feel about this assignment.

WEBSTER: And we know how you feel

about Haskell.

But if it-- His name was Smith or Jones,

you would have had him listed as a possible suspect.

You want it to go on record, you've accomplished it.

You're talking about the best police officer I've known

in my 22 years on the force.

Don't you challenge his integrity to me!

Your assignment is to work with him,

not conspire against him.

That's all! Dismissed!

It's nice to have you home for a whole day.

It's nice to be home for a whole day.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Who that? I don't know.

[COUGHS]

Uh-oh.

[ALL LAUGH]

DANKO: Hi.

You're killing me.

Never learn. Hey.

How's the head? Hey, all right.

Okay. It's getting better.

So, uh, how is the, uh, fallen warrior?

Better all the time.

Good. Hey, how's it going downtown?

Well, we'd rather not talk about that.

Ryker's on the warpath. He's spitting tacks.

Now, why do you two always pick on poor Lieutenant Ryker?

Poor Lieutenant Ryker? And it's not just Ryker.

It's, uh-- He's teamed up with some guy named Haskell,

who's just as hard-nosed, if you can imagine that.

When Mike gets back on duty, you'll have them outnumbered.

That's right. [DOORBELL RINGS]

Who's that? I don't know.

Three against two. We can handle it.

We can do it. WEBSTER: Think so?

Good afternoon. Is Officer Danko in?

Uh, well, yeah.

My name is Haskell.

I came by to see how he's feeling.

Oh, well, come right in, Mr. Haskell.

Thank you. Uh, Mike's in the living room.

We were just talking about you.

How you doing, sir?

Ooh, could I get coffee?

No, no. No, thank you. Not for me.

I'm not gonna be here that long. You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I'll be back on duty tomorrow night.

The report said you didn't see or hear anything

when they clobbered you.

Is that true? I, uh-- That's right.

I didn't even have a chance to get my seat belt off

before I caught it.

Well, that's a shame.

Okay.

Well, I'll be shoving off now.

Good to see you fellows. Okay. Thanks for coming by.

[GLASS BREAKS]

JILL: Oh! HASKELL: I'm very sorry.

JILL: Oh...

Well, that's all right.

That's okay.

This meant a great deal to you, didn't it?

Well, it was given to Mike when he was in the service.

Um, the man said it was kind of valuable.

No, it isn't.

Well-- Well, the guy that gave it to me

said it was worth quite a bundle.

Officer Danko, even a doorshaker can read:

"Made in Japan."

I'd say that it--

It's, uh, probably a pretty good replica,

everything considered.

Well, I'll let myself out.

Uh-- Uh, thanks for stopping by, Mr. Haskell.

Maybe next time you can stay a little longer.

Probably won't be a next time.

Thank you.

He's charming.

Yeah, isn't he?

I really liked what he had to say

about the furnishings around here.

Looks good, but it's not.

I mean, I don't want a broken replica lying around.

[SCOFFS]

Uh, he knew it was a replica

before he turned it over.

Yeah.

If he knows that much about art,

then he might be off the hook.

Um, you two have a conversation of your own going.

What are you talking about?

Well, the pattern in all the burglaries

has been to ignore fine art.

Now, if Haskell knows that much about art,

then he's probably not involved.

DANKO: Why? Do you think

he was really involved in any of these jobs?

Oh, we know he was involved.

What we don't know is whether he's involved for us

or against us.

Hello?

Hello?

Fred? Are you back there?

FRED: Yeah, in here.

Who is it?

Oh, hello, Ted. Come on in.

Well, it's nice to see you.

Uh... Oh!

Is there anything I can do for you?

Is something wrong with your car?

No, no, no. The car is fine.

Right as rain.

No, as a matter of fact, I stopped in to, uh,

talk to you.

Uh, do you mind if I close the door?

I think a little privacy might help matters, you know?

No, no. Go right ahead.

Well, ahem,

now, t-the thing is,

uh, I-- You see, I've just been appointed

chairman of the membership committee at the club.

You see?

And it's renewal time. You know?

Time to come up with the old dues.

You understand, don't you?

[CHUCKLES]

Uh, no, no. I don't think I do understand, Ted.

Oh, well, you see, the thing is,

last year, you were the head engineer at the plant, you know?

And this year you're running a gas station.

So I guess I just sort of thought

that you couldn't afford the dues, that's all.

Well, I can't.

But I sent a letter in asking for an honorary withdrawal

for a year.

Isn't that allowed?

Oh, yes. Of course. That's-- That's-- Sure thing.

Of course. Yes.

It's just that I thought that maybe, uh,

it might be better for you to just drop out

until you got back on your feet,

financially speaking that is.

Ted,

why don't you stop lying to me.

Hey, fella, I wouldn't lie to you.

You know as well as I do

that there are a lot of people in this town

that just don't like having the local gas-station jockey

in the same tennis club with them.

It bugs them.

Look, Fred, sometimes, you know,

things can't be helped.

I mean, it wasn't your fault

that the government didn't make that plane.

And it wasn't your fault that the company went under.

Heh.

And it isn't my fault

that some of these people in the club,

they just can't make this adjustment.

They're really on edge.

But it's not your fault.

And it's not my fault.

And yet, here we are.

It's just one of those things

and we've gotta make the best of it now.

Don't we?

What is "the best of it"?

Look, Fred,

you know if it were up to me,

I'd be happy to go along with this.

But I'm just one little guy with one little vote.

They would appreciate it

if you would resign your membership, Fred.

[CHUCKLES]

I'll have a letter in the mail tomorrow.

Thanks, Fred.

You're being very decent about this.

And I won't forget it.

Neither will I.

Hey, how's the head?

It's okay.

[ALL CHUCKLE]

Kind of miss that double vision.

It was nice having two women around the house, you know?

Uh-huh. Yeah.

You know what I mean?

[OVER RADIO] Ludlow 9, this is Haskell.

What's your location?

3217 Hargrove.

Ludlow 7, what's your location?

3214 Hargrove, sir.

I told you to work as a team, gentlemen,

not as Siamese twins.

Just because you look down on this job

doesn't mean you have to do it badly.

Move those units.

[HORN HONKS]

What time did they say they'd pick up the car?

Friday night. That's fine.

I still think we ought to cool it awhile.

You do a lot of complaining, don't you?

For young men who are getting all the money from what we take.

Look, I don't-- I don't know why you don't want any of the take.

But we agreed on that when we first started this.

Now, we gotta fence all this ourselves.

Now, you get your jollies off

stealing just to steal, that's fine.

That's fine.

But don't change the deal on us now, friend. Not now.

Nobody's changing the deal.

We got two more jobs to do, then we're done.

First we hit Mr. Fullmer's for some power tools.

Now, you can't get much of anything for power tools.

You see, we're not gonna fence 'em.

We're gonna use 'em...

to break into the safe at the tennis club next weekend.

A safe? We're not gonna do a safe.

Yes, we are.

You see, the ladies always leave their jewelry in the safe

while they're out busy socializing on the courts.

And the men really dislike leaving their wallets

in those little tin boxes

that pass for lockers downstairs.

Yeah, but a safe. I mean, that's got alarms and stuff.

We don't know anything about safes. We--

I happen to know everything about that safe!

I was chairman of the finance committee

that allocated the funds to buy it.

I know where that alarm is,

and I know how to get past it.

Yeah, and bad luck for us if we're caught.

No.

Bad luck for whoever catches us.

[CAR HORN HONKS]

I think somebody wants some gas.

Hi, there.

Uh, something I can do for you?

GILLIS: No. Just need a little water,

that's all.

Gas? Oil? No.

I'm in good shape. Thank you.

I'll check your tires for you. At least I can do that.

GILLIS: You don't give up very easily,

do you?

Well, that's what it's all about, young man.

That's what the free enterprise system is all about.

Never giving up.

Always doing more for the customer than the next man.

Besides, what with all the good work you're doing

for the people around here, nothing is too good for you.

Well, thank you, sir. But, uh, we're not

gonna accomplish anything unless we get rolling.

I think you're just trying to keep us around here

to make sure that you don't get robbed.

Mm-hm. Ha, ha.

All right. All right.

Just trying to stay on the right side of the law.

[ENGINE STARTS]

[SERVICE BELL DINGS]

There's a man in a hurry.

Yeah, let's keep him company.

[SIREN BLARES]

[TIRES SCREECH]

[AIR HISSING]

[RIM GRINDING]

[♪♪♪]

JILL: No pain?

No. JILL: You sure?

[SNICKERS] No pain. I'm fine.

Okay.

But you can't be too careful in those kind of things.

Why don't I just sign a release

that I don't intend to sue young William over here, huh?

How are they?

Well, they're better than they have any right to be.

They got a few bumps and bruises.

That's about it. You had a blowout

in the middle of a pursuit. That's what I've been told.

Yes, sir. That's what happened.

Well, what were you pursuing? Light blue pickup.

Speeding violation. RYKER: Get the license number?

We never got close enough.

All right, get yourselves patched up

and get back to the precinct.

Haskell wants to talk to you.

What about?

What else? Another burglary.

It happened about a half an hour after you rolled your unit.

You sure that was a light blue pickup?

Why?

No reason. I'm just double-checking.

He never asked a question for no reason in his life.

Nope. No.

And I don't think he made the trip down here

for no reason either.

JILL: Hm? GILLIS: Yep.

Okay.

I want you two officers to get out of here.

You're much too healthy.

Healthy? Us?

Mm-hm. Healthy?

Mm-hm.

Bye. Bye.

HASKELL: Just a lot of power tools.

That's all? Nothing else.

They didn't touch the TV's or the stereo. Not a thing.

Who knew you and your wife were gonna be gone all day?

Nobody. Everybody.

What can I tell you? I don't know who she told.

I don't know who I told, for that matter.

With the increase in burglaries around here,

don't you think it would pay you to be a bit more careful?

That's what we're paying you for, Mr. Haskell.

Or did you forget?

No, sir.

I did not forget that.

You see, Officer Danko...

Mr. Fullmer is president of the Westdale Citizen's Alliance.

They are the nice people that employ me.

A lot of good it's doing us.

Over $700 in power tools.

That's a lot of money, you know.

Yes, sir. I do know that.

Yeah, uh, Mr. Fullmer, that back window,

that was the point of entry, is that right?

That's right. Now, this Mr. and Mrs. Byers,

they can verify that you and your wife

were at the tennis club all day?

Yes, they can.

I see.

I'll get a stenotypist to take his statement.

Lieutenant, I've gotta talk to you.

Well, here I am. Go ahead and talk.

Look, I know you feel about Haskell, but--

No, you don't know how I feel, Officer Danko, about Haskell.

You assume you know how I feel.

When you tell me he's the best officer

you've ever seen on the force,

that gives me a good idea, doesn't it?

All right, so you know how I feel. Go on.

The Fullmer place.

Now, Haskell said they got in by breaking the back window.

When I got there, he was already inside. He heard me coming.

The reason he heard me coming

was because I was stepping on pieces of broken glass.

I don't know what this has to do with anything, Danko.

The window was broken from the inside, lieutenant.

That's why there was glass outside on the lawn.

You know, as security officer in that neighborhood,

he's got keys to all those houses.

He knows when people are gonna be there and when they're not.

Danko, I am not gonna listen to another harebrained--

The information you wanted from the DMV on Haskell's vehicle.

RYKER: Light blue pickup.

Matches the description of the one that they were chasing

when they had the blowout.

There's a lot of pickups like that.

But still not much to go on.

FULLMER: It's enough for me.

Well, I'm glad I came down here.

You guys would have probably let me go right on paying that guy

while he's robbing every house in town.

Mr. Fullmer, what we were talking about

is nothing more than circumstantial evidence at best.

I'm not talking about taking a guy to court.

I'm talking about not expecting a guy to solve a crime

that he's committing.

You police are always talking about rights.

Well, I've got some rights too.

I have a right to fire that man, lieutenant.

And I intend to use that right.

HASKELL: Oh, that's just terrific,

Eddie!

That's wonderful!

And you keep telling me about how great these three guys were.

What you forgot to mention is their job was to get me canned.

Art, they were just-- And why couldn't you ask me

about that glass at Fullmer's house?

Why couldn't you ask me where I was

when those guys took off in that truck?

Now, listen, there is more than one light blue pickup truck

on the street these days, you know that.

Art, I was gonna ask you. I just never got a chance.

Fullmer heard me and Danko talking.

He reacted before we could do anything about it.

Okay, Eddie.

So, what am I supposed to do now?

I'm off the city force. Now I lose this.

I only know how to do one thing, Eddie.

That's to be a police officer.

Well, maybe after Fullmer calms down...

Okay, Eddie. Then what?

Till then you do nothing.

You just tough it out, that's all.

[♪♪♪]

Okay, Eddie.

You know, Eddie, you once told me booze was a crutch.

Now I'm telling you, if I can't be a policeman, I'm a cripple.

You men are a new breed of cops, all right.

Not better. Just new.

Don't go getting down on yourselves.

You did the right thing.

You had suspicions and you reported them.

It's not very right if he happens to be innocent.

Well, the world is not what it's supposed to be, Officer Webster.

It never has been.

That's why our job exists.

[SERVICE BELL DINGS]

Hey, Art.

Not used to seeing you out of uniform.

Well, you can get used to it, Fred. I got myself canned.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

Because of all the robberies around here?

That's what they said.

Listen, give me $2 worth of gas, will you?

No, no, fill it up.

Car may as well get tanked up too.

Got any plans?

No.

Why, you wanna give me a job wiping windshields?

[BOTH LAUGH]

No, no. Nothing like that.

I was just, uh, thinking though that, uh...

Well, this might sound a little heartless, but, uh,

well, with all the holdups and robberies around here,

I ought to have a weapon of some sort around the place.

And, uh, if you're through being a security guard,

maybe you'd sell me your revolver.

Sure. I got no more use for it.

I do, though.

Mr. Haskell.

Yeah. I see you.

Hey!

[SLURRING] What do you say, men?

[CACKLING] What do you say, there?

Would you mind, um, telling us what you're doing here?

Not a bit. I'm as full of booze as a rumrunner's gas tank.

I'm a danger to life and limb, particularly my own.

That, gentlemen, is known as public drunkenness.

Oh.

Your turn.

Sir? What are you guys gonna do?

Run me in?

No, sir. I think we better run you home.

Yeah. Run me home!

Ha, ha! All right.

HASKELL: Run him home!

GILLIS: This is it.

Watch your step.

GILLIS: Okay, now. Take it easy.

Well, here we are, men.

Yeah. This is a fantastic place.

You know, I hid all that loot I stole.

You see, I-- I've already fenced most of it, men.

But I-- I still got a few things left.

This-- This magnificent mink.

And my lovely, color console "tevelison" set.

And this is my wonderful, comfy couch that I sleep on.

All of this fantastic, fabulous wealth, men.

I saved this up

after almost 20 years as a police officer.

But...

ain't a job.

At least it-- It ain't a 9 to 5 job.

It's all the time.

Twenty-four hours a day.

It's everything you say.

Everything you think.

Being a policeman.

That's way more than just having a job.

That's the way it used to be, anyway.

[SIGHS]

You know, when we, uh, first got on this assignment,

I wasn't very involved with it.

Hm?

Television set gets stolen. Power tools, whatever.

Things.

I kept thinking, this isn't why I joined up.

I joined to work with people.

And?

That's people over there.

That's people.

RYKER: Hope you don't take

any cream and sugar,

because I couldn't find any.

What the devil are you doing here? How'd you get in?

A couple of my rookies told me you were drunk as fish

and talking trash.

So I picked the lock and I got in here.

You wanna perform citizen's arrest?

Eddie, if I wanna drink, I'm gonna drink.

Fine. But first you're gonna answer a couple of questions.

Police garage says Webster and Gillis didn't have a blowout.

The valve stem was pulled.

What do you know about the guy that runs that station?

Fred. Oh, he seemed like a pretty good guy.

I don't know him very well.

Does he have a truck?

Yeah, he does.

A light blue pickup truck.

Get going. Get dressed.

Did you get Fullmer in here?

Oh, we couldn't. His wife said he was unavailable.

But she's upstairs in the Interrogation Room.

Wait here. Come on.

Miss Fullmer, I'm Lieutenant Ryker.

You know Mr. Haskell here.

Yes.

But I don't know what I'm doing here, lieutenant.

I thought you had all the information about the robbery.

One more question, Mrs. Fullmer.

When was the last time you had your car serviced?

Well, heh, I don't know.

Yes, I do. It was yesterday.

You leave your house keys in that car?

Yes, all the keys are on one ring.

HASKELL: That's it, then.

Can I take a look at that key ring?

Well...of course.

Not that I think it will...

accomplish anything.

Now, let's see.

Uh, car keys, house keys, key to the garage,

key to the ladies' steam room.

Uh, what was that last one again?

At the tennis club.

The ladies' steam room.

That's where my husband is now.

Not in the ladies' steam room, of course,

but, uh, at the tennis club.

He's playing in the senior men's tournament.

Hates being called a "senior man."

What other keys are on there?

Well, there's just this one.

The key to the office at the tennis club.

What do they keep in that office?

Oh, nothing really. Just records and things.

And the safe, of course.

[♪♪♪]

I'll be right back.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Put it back.

Thought you always said no guns.

I changed my mind.

Put it back.

[TIRES SCREECH]

Little car trouble?

Yeah. Some woman. Dead battery.

Yeah? Where, uh-- Where is she?

Where's who?

The woman who owns the car.

Oh, uh, up there playing tennis, I guess.

Why don't we go find her.

Hey, what are you guys doing here?

And especially you.

We're trying to prevent a burglary, Mr. Fullmer.

Where's the office? BOTH: It's back--

But I've got the only key.

Don't bank on it.

Lead the way.

Now, come on. Where is she? Which one?

I don't know.

They're all in those white outfits.

It's hard to tell them apart, you know?

No, we don't know.

Now, you tell 'em apart. Now.

Oh-- Oh, there she is. Over there.

[GUNSHOT]

It's the cops, man.

They got us wired.

We better give up.

No. No?!

There's three of them and two of us.

There's three of them and one of us.

[COCKS GUN]

[GRUNTS]

Oh!

Don't shoot! Don't shoot!

No.

No, no, don't anyone get heroic.

Let him go whatever way he wants.

I know my way out of this place.

I know how this place is laid out.

I used to belong here.

I know every hallway. Every closet.

Then you know it well enough to know

that we could seal it off, and we have.

When you can't respect what you've come to,

you can't respect who you are.

So I haven't got a thing to lose.

I won't go much lower.

See?

Not in this life.

[GRUNTS]

[♪♪♪]

[GUNSHOT]

That's quite a chance you took, making a jump like that.

Well, you see, I didn't know I was gonna get all this help.

[♪♪♪]

Well, he's beautiful, Mr. Haskell.

Thank you.

Well, it seemed like the least I could do.

It's not an exact duplicate of that one I broke. Heh.

The closest I could fine.

He's close enough. It looks terrific.

Well, I hate to bust this up.

I have to get back to the precinct,

make sure everything's in order.

See you boys tomorrow.

ALL: Bye.

Hey, thank you, man. Thank you.

Bye, now. Bye-bye, lieutenant.

RYKER: Bye-bye.

Well, okay... Ooh, well, I'm afraid to look.

Well, give it to me. Oh, keep your hand off my--

He bet me 5 bucks you couldn't resist the temptation

to see where that thing was made.

GILLIS: Well, lieutenant, like you said,

he's the best you ever saw.

Best you ever expect to see.

Yes, he is the best I ever saw, Gillis.

But I expect to see a lot better in the near future.

Yes, sir.

See you. Okay.

Well? Okay.

Well, at least it's not made in Japan.

Is Formosa that much of an improvement?
