[THEME SONG PLAYING]

[SIREN WAILING]

[POLICE RADIO TRANSMITTING]

[LAUGHING & CHATTERING]

Hey, I'm getting hungry.

Oh yeah,
have yourself a pretzel.

Better take two,
that's all the food

you're gonna see tonight.

How come when
the game is in my place,

I serve sandwiches.

Well, because I can't afford
sandwiches on a police

department pension.

That's how come.
Are we going to argue

or are we going to play?

We gotta wait
for Harry anyway.

Hey Harry, come on,
you're holding up the game.

[SIGHS]

No, that will do.

Let's see now.

Come on Harry,
the cards getting cold.

MAN: Hey Harry!

MAN: Harry?

I'll get him.

Hey, Harry!

Come on out.

We know you got
an extra deck

hidden in there.

But you're not gonna win
anyway, so why don't you

come out and fold,

like you always do.

Well, it's about time,
we were gonna send

for a St.
Bernard.

[CHUCKLES] You're
feeling okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. Fine.

Why don't you take off
the jacket, loosen the tie,

you gotta be boiling.

Harry would rather boil than
appear undressed in public,

right Harry?

Is that hurting you?

Hey Harry, take it easy.

[GROANS] To heck with it.

Cash me in,
put it on the tab.

I don't feel like
playing anymore.

The way you been playing,
there won't be

much cash Harry.

Yeah, well that's the way
my luck's been running lately.

I'm going for a walk,
see you guys later.

Harry, if any of us
have said anything...

Oh, no, no, no.
It's nothing

anybody else did.
It's me, it's all me.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Sure.

[CREAKING]

Hello Harry.

I was just coming to see you.
[ELEVATOR DOOR CLOSES]

What's this?

Frank's money. It's all there,
I didn't spend a cent.

Frank don't want the money,
he wants the stuff.

I couldn't go through with it,
I've never done

a dishonest thing in my life.

Give it to me.
I don't have it.

No, please, I'm an old man.
[GRUNTS]

You want more of the same?
No!

Hand it over, Harry.
I haven't got it.

Hand over the stuff, Harry.
No!

OLD LADY: Kitty, kitty, kitty,
kitty, kitty.

Blossom. Kitty.

Kitty!

[GRUNTING]

OLD LADY: Blossom!

[SCREAMS]

[PANTING & SCREAMING]

[TIRES SCREECHING &
SIREN WAILING]

Well, you see...

Lotus came home all right,

but Blossom wasn't with her.

Lotus?
Oh, that's her Siamese cat.

Ma'am.

Could you describe
the clothing worn

by the man who ran away.

Well, goodness now, you see
my eyesight isn't just

what it used to be.

Well, thank you very much
for your help, Mrs. Gleason.

Thank you. [CHUCKLES]
Oh, I do hope that

you catch this man.

I'd hate to think of him
running around doing that

kind of thing to older people.

OLD WOMAN: [LAUGHS] Blossom!

Kitty, kitty, kitty,
well, come on darling.

Blossom, Blossom,
kitty, kitty, kitty.

Say, would you boys
mind giving me a ride

down the hospital?

Well, you are going there,
get a statement from Harry,

aren't you?

Uh, yes sir, but,
we're not allowed to...

To transport civilians,
yes I know.

But, I think you can make
an exception, this one case.

I don't think you understand
Mr...

BEN: Uh, Fuller,
it's Ben Fuller.

For 23 years
Lieutenant Fuller,

of your police department.

Now if I were you,
I wouldn't want Eddie Ryker

to find out,

that you wouldn't give me
a lift to the hospital.

You ever hear Lieutenant Ryker
talk about Ben Fuller?

Hmm-mm.

At great length,
with great admiration.

Well, maybe we can
make an exception this...

Once.
This once.

[CAR STARTING]

[SEA GULLS CAWING]

Do you have to do that!

Relax.

Well, he should've been
back by now.

Yeah, he should be.
Hey, hand me those darts,

will you.

Look, you want 'em,
you get 'em.

[LAUGHS]

Hey, think fast.

[GASPS]
[LAUGHS]

What, are you nervous?
[LAUGHS]

[KNOCKING AT THE DOOR]

Did you get it?

[DOOR CLOSES]

FRANK: That's it?

That's all he gave me.
He said, he wanted out.

And that's it, huh?
And you've let him walk out

with 100,000 in stones.

He isn't walking anywhere,
I put him in a hospital.

FRANK: Where's the stuff then?

DUVALL: I don't know.
He didn't have it on him.

And you put him in
the hospital?

Well, how do we
get to him now, huh?

Hey, Frank come on now.

Come on Frank.
Frank, come on!

Listen, we'll get it.
If he didn't have it on him,

must've hidden it someplace.

We just gotta figure it out,
come on, we gotta sit down,

we sit down
and we figure it out, okay?

Now, he must've
hidden it somewhere.

Maybe, he put them in a mail
and sent them to the cops.

Oh, maybe.

But, we're gonna go
looking for them.

And you better hope
we find them,

or else nobody'll ever
be able to pull me off of you.

[GROANING]

No, he's still unconscious,
the doctor's with him.

What do the X-rays show?

Well we don't know yet,
the radiologist

still hasn't...

Look, I wanna see him
as soon as he wakes up.

Are you a relative?

No, no, I'm a friend.
I think he has a daughter

living in Baltimore.

Uh, would you happen to know
her phone number?

No.

JILL: Well, maybe
it's in his wallet.

No, his wallet was missing.

We'll check with
the apartment manager,

maybe he knows the number.

Sorry, he doesn't know
you're here.

Maybe, maybe not.

Maybe he knows that
somebody is touching him

and caring about him.

It's important,
when you get to be our age.

It's important at any age.

It looks like an apparent
mugging. Is it?

That's the question,
let's examine it.

Well if it is,
it's an unusual one.

Why?

From the woman's statement,
it sounded like the attacker

was more interested
in beating Mr.

Chester
than robbing him.

That's speculation.

Mr. Chester's watch and rings
are expensive ones,

it's not likely the mugger
would leave them behind.

That's logical
but it's inconclusive.

Ben, you spent the afternoon
with him, did he seem nervous

or worried about anything?

Mm, he was a little
off his feet, yeah.

Known him long?

Long and well.
Since I retired.

Eight years.

Do you know of any enemies
or reasons that someone would

wanna beat him up like this?

BEN: No, none that I know of.

All right gentlemen,
where does this leave us?

Just about where we started.

Okay, turn in your reports
and we'll follow this through

in a few.

Sir.

They're good, they're better
than you were,

when you were a rookie.

[CHUCKLES]

No, they're not better
than I was,

they're young
and they learn fast,

and there's a lot more
to learn, but you're right,

they are good.

What are doing
with yourself, Ben?

Oh, golf, poker,
nothing really.

How does it feel to be a man
without responsibilities?

Well, it's a green pasture
until you get out there,

then you find out,
it's nothing but a graveyard.

[BUZZER RINGS]

Ryker.

[INAUDIBLE VOICE ON PHONE]

LT. RYKER: Thank you.

[PLACES RECIEVER DOWN]

Your friend has a skull
fracture, Ben.

He's on his way
to the operating room.

I'm sorry.

An operation like that
is risky for a man

as old as Harry.

Ben, do us all a favor,
go home, go to a movie,

play golf.

Let us do the job, please.

I'm gonna find out,
who did this, Ed.

You gonna stop me?

You interfere with any
due process

and you are stopped.

Thanks, for the advice.

I'll think it over.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Holder, find Webster
and Gillis, send them in here,

I've got a job for them.

MICHAEL: Hey!
JILL: Hey, what are you

doing here?

We're on special assignment.

Such as?

To tail Ben Fuller.

Lady at the apartment house
said, he was here.

I hate to shake you guys up,

but some police officers think
it's easier to tail a suspect

out of uniform.

Suspect tends to know that's
a uniformed police officer

walking behind him.

Michael, don't be cute.

Ryker wants Fuller to know
we're watching him.

Oh, well then,
you're doing it the right way.

He'll know. [LAUGHS]

Jill, what's he doing here
anyway, did his friend

come out of the coma?

Uh, no,
he's still unconscious.

But, Fuller's been in the room
talking to him anyway.

See, the doctors
have a theory

that sometimes a familiar
voice can help to bring

a patient out of it.

Uh-huh, Fuller been here long?

Since eight o'clock this
morning, he's been talking

every minute.

BEN: Hey Harry, look at this,
a 50 yard field goal.

And it's another one of those
soccer style kickers.

Now, when are they gonna
realize that

field goals are about
as exciting

as day old oatmeal.

Eh, they're putting up
more street lights

in the shopping mall.

Trying to cut down on crime.

[LAUGHS] You know...

BEN: I remember when they
put up the first street light

in my hometown.

It was the first
electric light

any of us had ever seen.

I was only a kid,
but I remember the whole town,

whole town turned out,
to watch them turn on

that first light.

Can you imagine 150 people,

standing there on a hot
summer evening, staring

at one electric light bulb.

[LAUGHS]

Uh, the kids today would think
we are crazy, I suppose.

[CHUCKLES] You know, they
used to turn the light off

on the nights
when the moon was full?

[WHEEZY BREATHING]

Well...

I gotta be getting back,
Harry.

I wanna go through
your apartment.

Hope you don't mind.

BEN: Maybe I'll find
something that'll help me

to figure out
who did this to you.

Harry...

Take care of yourself.

What are you two doing here?

We're on a special assignment,
sir, and you're

the assignment.

You're, you're gonna tail me?

Yes sir, those are the orders.

That's insulting!
It's asinine!

Being treated like a child,
well you tell Eddie Ryker

from me that I am no child.

And I will not... [GASPING]

[GASPING] Doctor, doctor...

Nurse?

Pills, pills are in the coat,
the coat...

I'm feeling much better now.

Stairs.

BEN: Frank, who's Frank?

Did you remember
to bring my coat?

It's against the law,
breaking and entering.

All right, let's not pass
it by, why don't you book me,

right now?

So help me Ben, I will,
I will, as unpopular

as it's gonna make me,

I will book you if I have to,
that's gonna be up to you.

Tell you what I'll do,
I'll trade information

with you.

We've checked your
friends financial status,

three weeks ago he deposited
$10,000 in cash,

in a savings account,

yesterday he withdrew 10,000
in cash, now does that

mean anything to you?

No.

His apartment
was searched though.

He's a compulsive type,
he's neat, he's tidy.

It's not the way I found it.

Maybe he was
looking for the money.

Who did he get it from?
What did he do to get it?

And why did he
withdraw it from his account?

LT. RYKER: You said
he was nervous

at the poker game?

Yeah, he was.

I didn't know why.

You got anything else
you wanna tell me?

No.

No, not a thing, Ed.

This is as far as it goes Ben,
I'm serious about this.

I want you off this case
and no more interfering.

And I want your rookies
off my tail.

Deal?

It's a deal.

I'm warning you, no more.

[PHONE RINGING]

Don't you want us
to stay with him?

He's no longer involved.

I have his word.

Lieutenant, he couldn't be
uninvolved if he wanted to.

The people in his
apartment house think

he's a lone ranger,

they're looking to him
to bust this case wide open.

What is this, I'm getting it
from two groups today,

kids and old men

and there's no difference,
they're both infantile.

Ben Fuller is off the case,
that's it, I don't wanna

hear any more about it.

Now with your permission
I would like to return

to some police work.

Harry Chester, works for the
Academy of Gemology,

I would like you to
get down there,

check the place out,

report back to me.

And if you do happen
to run into Ben Fuller,

or if you happen to see him,

I wanna know, not that
I think you will, mind you.

All right that's it,
get out of here,

you're dismissed.

I assure you Detective Fuller,

I told those two
police officers

everything that I knew.

[EXCLAIMS]

I'm sorry about
Mr. Chester's locker,

but I didn't have the key.

Mr. Johnson takes the keys
with him,

and he's not in today.

Well, let's back up
just a little bit.

Now you were saying
that these two policemen

wanted to get into
Mr. Chester's locker?

And they didn't?

Yes, they said they would
come back when Mr.

Johnson
is in.

Well, they're rookies Miss.

Ms.

I beg your pardon?

It isn't Miss, it's Ms.

Oh, yes, yes, of course,
I'm sorry.

Uh, they're rookies Ms.
And they don't know

how vital this case is.

Now, I've got to get
into that locker.

Right away.

And we won't need any keys.

[CHUCKLES] Well,
if it's that vital,

follow me please.

Uh, was Mr. Chester
involved in anything?

You know, Mr. Johnson
wouldn't like that.

Could you tell me
what it is?

No I can't, Ms.

BEN: Tell me, is this
the class that Mr.

Chester
normally teaches?

Yes.

This is the locker.

This one, yeah.

[UNLOCKS LOCKER]

BEN: Is this
custom jewelry?

No, it's platinum
and 22 karat gold.

Now, for the record Ms.
You did give me permission

to open this locker,

we can get back to
your office, I'll give you

a receipt for these.

[RINGING]

[PHONE RINGS]

Yeah.
I thought I told you

to stay near that phone.

GIFFORD: Look,
I'm here, aren't I?

There was a cop here, he got
in Chester's locker,

he found the mountings.

[SIGHS] That doesn't
help matters much.

FRANK: Did you find
anything in the apartment?

No, it was clean.

He must've stashed his stuff
in school, I'll check

it out tonight.

Hey look man,

if that cop found those
mountings, they're gonna be

swarming all over that place.

I'll work it out,
don't sweat it.

[SIGHS]

Hey, maybe we ought to just
let it go, huh?

FRANK: It's ours man,
we worked for it.

I mean, if we gotta burn
some cops to get it,

we burn some cops.

That's all.

BEN: Who's Frank.

[KNOCKING AT THE DOOR]

Hey Ed, come on in.

Oh, I, uh,
gather this isn't social.

It could've been.

I want those mountings.

Don't do that Ben, I've
already talked to

the secretary at the academy.

Impersonating a police
officer, possession

of stolen goods,

interfering with police work.

Well it depends on how
you look at it,

see I used my own name,

I flashed my ID card, she gave
me permission to open

that locker,

and I gave her a receipt.

It'll be a little sticky
in court, don't you think?

You think I wanna
take you to court?

You think that's what
this is all about?

Ben, you're a friend of mine.

Harry Chester is a friend
of mine, my best friend.

LT. RYKER: Come on,
friendship isn't half

of what's driving you
and you know it.

If it was you would let us
do the job because

you want that job done.

Instead you go running
around trying to prove

something to yourself,

to the retirement board,
the people

in the apartment house.

Ben, you're not 28 years old.
You're not a super cop.

[PHONE RINGING]

Hello.

Mr. Fuller, this is
Mrs. Danko,

you asked me to call you,
if...

[DEEP BREATHING]

Well, Mr.
Fuller, I'm afraid

I've got some bad news
for you.

Mr. Chester passed away
less than an hour ago.

He never came out
of the coma.

Oh.

Well, thank you Nurse Danko,

I appreciate your call.

[CALL DISCONNECTS]

[PLACES RECIEVER DOWN]

Harry Chester just died.

Well, I've got a murder
one on my hands.

Yeah.

Here.

LT. RYKER: Is there anything
else you care to offer me

at this time?

Maybe, maybe if you...

If you wanted...

Well, try me.

Don't get old.

BEN: Don't get old,
don't let 'em push you out.

When you first retired
it seems to me,

you enjoyed yourself.

Oh yeah, yeah, I enjoyed it,
I did, yeah at first.

Took that trip
around the world,

I saw all the things that,
that I wanted to live to see.

And then I took up golf
with Harry, Harry and I

went fishing...

Then I began thinking
to myself,

is this it?

What kind of enjoyment
is there, when your happiest

images are just memories?

And...

And all you have to look
forward to is that tomorrow

is gonna be just like today.

BEN: Eddie...

This is... This is,
one big waiting room.

I don't like
what I'm waiting for.

It seems the jewelry
was stolen two months ago

from Forder and Company.

They figured the stones
recut and sold

on the black market,

might bring close to
$100,000.

I had the mountings
tested for prints,

the only good ones left
belonged to Harry Chester.

[SIGHS]

I want the Academy of Gemology
put under

24 hour surveillance.

And you and Kellman
take the first shifts.

Send Webster and Gillis
in here.

Okay.

It's your turn,
he's in one bad mood.

I want you to spell
Danko and Kellman at

nine o'clock.

[CLICKS TONGUE]

You're gonna stake out
the Academy of Gemology.

Who we looking for sir?

Harry Chester was probably
paid to recut some

stolen diamonds.

I suspect his conscious
started to bother him,

and he tried to give
the money back

in order to get off the hook
and he didn't.

Somebody searched
his apartment probably

for the diamonds,

and maybe they found them.

And if they didn't,
the next logical move

is to search the Academy.

That's who you're looking for.

Gentlemen,

you can take
Ben Fuller with you

if you want to.

Is that
an order, sir?

"If you want to" can in no way
be construed as an order,

Officer Webster.

It's your choice.

What if, uh,
we choose not to?

Well, I can't guarantee
anything, Officer Gillis,

but I can give you
an educated guess.

You're gonna go out
on that stake out

and you're gonna find
Ben Fuller there,

waiting for you

because he knows
it's our next logical move.

So you can either have him
as a part of the operation

where you can control him,

or you can have him
as an onlooker

where you cannot
anticipate his next move

and where his reactions
may very well

foul up the whole thing.

So, it's your choice.
Which is it?

[SCOFFS]

He's in, sir.

MAN: [ON TV]
Code three, repeat Code three.

Switch to tach two
and keep channel clear.

The following units
to proceed north

at maximum on Route Four.

Seven. Repeat seven.

Your E.T.A.,
two and one half minutes

to intersection
Belvedere and Route 4.

[DOORBELL RINGS]
[KNOCK ON DOOR]

[SIRENS WAILING]

Code Three to two-niner.

Join other units
at intersection Belvedere

and Route Four

to proceed...
Oh! Come on in.

I hope I'm safe
with you guys.

It seems like
every time we cross paths,

I've committed some crime.

Well, sir.
This time you're safe.

Good.

Uh, sorry to
hear about

Mr. Chester.

Thank you.

But, uh, that's not
why you're here.

No, sir.

We're staking out the
Academy of Gemology tonight,

and we have
the unofficial okay

for you to join us.

Are you serious?

Mm-hmm.
Lieutenant Ryker

feels that

three heads
are better than two.

[CHUCKLING] Especially
when two of them belong

to rookies.
Right?

I'll get my coat.

[CHUCKLES]

Thirty seconds
and we've already

got a problem.

Mm-hmm.

Hey, you're
ten minutes early.

For that Jill thanks you,
I thank you,

my dog Fred thanks you.

What's the layout?

That's the exit.
Kellman's around front.

Now the dean left around
ten to eight.

No one's been
in or out since.

Okay.

Hey, uh, there's a
big thermos of hot coffee

on the front seat
if you want some.

Think you guys
better keep

all you brought.

Tell Kellman
I'm in the car.

I'll see you later, huh?

Yeah.

I think it's better
if two of us stay here.

Okay, uh...

You and me,
Mr. Fuller.

I'll go
give Kellman

the word.

All right, kid,
you lay back here,

you cover me.

If there's more
than one of them

I'll take the second man.

Oh, and if you have to fire
you make sure you got

the right guy in your sights.

Mr. Fuller.
Yeah.

You're unarmed.
So I suggest

you keep out of the way.

Now, why don't you go
right by those garbage cans?

Right over there.

If Terry needs me,
you let me know.

If anything happens to me
you make sure he

gets around here in a hurry.

You're here on a pass,
Mr. Fuller.

Wait!

BEN: Hey!

Come on. Let's go.

Willie.

Willie.

They were two of them.

Get an ambulance.

Damn it, you old fool.
I said get an ambulance!

Mr. Fuller,

I think
I owe you

an apology.

I know
I owe you

an apology.

Oh, what for?

When I told you
to get the ambulance.

What I called you.

Oh, I am an old man.

Yeah. But that's not
what I said. I...

I said it
like it was an insult.

Oh. Young people
are a little

prejudiced against
old fools like me.

Eh, you get used to it.

Get used to it?

How do you
get used to prejudice?

I don't think, uh,
you should take it

lying down.

Quiet.

But the next time
I call you anything

like that you should, uh...

Knock me on my tail.

I will.

But I don't think
there's gonna be

a next time.

I don't think so, either.

WILLIE: Thanks again.

I'm okay.
Nothing broken.

Well.
You're lucky

they got you
where you're thickest.

Well, this little concussion
is going to be a drag

for you too, you know.

Oh.
Doctor says

you've got to
wake me up every hour

to make sure I'm still alert.

Still?
Mm-hmm.

Were you ever?

Willie, I...
I let him get away.

I... I'm sorry.

Ben, don't worry
about it.

How's Ryker
taking it?

Would you like me
to tell you, Officer Gillis?

I think
I already know, sir.

Wonderful!

Glad to hear
you did not lose your

keen sense of perception

along with that
blow on your head.

I can tell you
what did get lost

in the night.

A murderer
and a jewel thief.

Did they get
the diamonds?

I do not know.

The only thing I do know
they didn't find them

at Chester's apartment

or they wouldn't have
had the need

to search the Academy.

And they did a
pretty thorough job of that,

let me tell you.

Lieutenant, nobody went
in or out of that building

while we were there.

So I've been told.

That suggests to me
that the perpetrator hid

in the building during the day

and he waited until
no one was there at night

to conduct his search.

So we can assume
it was an inside job.

And I am gonna
miss your assistance

as I go through
this list of students

and faculty members

and hired help

to find out
which one that might be.

Eddie, you mind
if I take a look at that?

Not at all.

LT. RYKER: Officers Webster
and Gillis, you will report

to me in my office.

Can we, uh,
give you

a lift home?

No, no, no.
I... I think I'll...

I'll walk a little bit.

See you.

Ben! Long time no see.

How are you, Barney?

Oh, surviving,
you know.

You look terrific.

Yeah?
That retirement business

really agrees with you.

I got two years to go.

And I don't mind
telling you,

I can hardly wait.

Barney, you're
gonna love it.

What can I
do for you?

Oh, see if you got
anything on file

for these two guys,
will you?

It's a little
out of line, Ben.

Oh, come on,
be a pal.

They've both
taken my granddaughter.

I wanna find out
if they're on

the up and up is all.

Frank Janice, Frank Pinder...

Your granddaughter
knows a lot of Franks.

If you find anything
on them, you call me

at this number?

I'll be waiting,
Barney.

All right, Ben.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Look, I don't care
how you add it up,

it still comes out
we're crazy to

stick around here.

The stones
are around here.

The stones
and the cops.

There was a detective
at the school

and a stakeout
later that same night.

And that means
they're getting close.

Yeah. We're sitting
here, aren't we?

I mean, they didn't
get us, did they?

Well, they only had
two chances.

I still got
another swing coming.

I say we vote.

And my vote is that
we split out of here,

right now.

[MUTTERING] What do you
think this is? Civics class?

I'm not going to
split on some vote.

GIFFORD: Frank.

Look, you don't want to
buy the two to one vote,

I know how to
make it unanimous.

All right...

I've always
tried to be a guy

open to suggestion.

The ayes have it.

[PHONE RINGING]

Hello.
BARNEY: Ben?

Barney.

You better tell your
granddaughter to stay away

from one of those guys.

You tell me which one.
Frank Pender.

He's got a record
going back eight years.

GTA mostly.

Then some fairly
heavy robberies,

three indictments,
no collars.

You got a
current address on him?

Yeah. 54. Five-Four,
Seaside Walk.

One of those places
down by the

amusement park, I think.

Five-Four, Seaside.
I appreciate this, Barney.

You tell that girl
to leave that guy alone,

you hear?

Yeah.
I'll take care

of this personally.
Rest assured.

[HANGING UP]

The other possibility is
there's no connection, uh...

I want you to
run these for me.

Tell me
if you have any records.

There's no connection
between the ransacking

in the Academy

and the murder.
You really

believe that?

Not for a second.
But it's a possibility.

This guy's
got one.

How come
this was pulled?

Doing a favor
for Ben Fuller.

His granddaughter's
dating the guy and

he wanted me to check him out.

Ben Fuller doesn't have
a granddaughter

and you aren't
doing him any favor.

That cop who
was at the school

is out there.

Was anybody
with him?

I didn't see
anybody.

You and me
go around the back way.

You go out and
see what he wants.

Hey.

How do I know
you two aren't

just gonna split

and leave me
holding the bag?

Because we don't have
the stones yet.

That's how you know.

All right.

FRANK: Good afternoon, sir.

Can I help you?
I'm sort of the

watchman around here.

Your name Pinder?

Frank Pinder?

Who wants to know?

My name's Fuller.
I'm a friend of

Harry Chester's.

Now you mean
you were a friend.

He's dead.

Yeah.
I know.

But I'm still his friend.
That's what I'm doing here.

I'm gonna find out
who beat him to death

after he left my place.

GIFFORD: Your place?

What do you mean
your place?

You mean he wasn't
coming from his apartment,

he was coming
from your place?

Well, that's where
he stashed the stuff then.

He stashed it
in this bird's apartment.

No wonder
we couldn't find it!

Now how can you be so sure
I didn't find it?

Oh, that's...
That's why

you're here.

You'd have found
the stuff you'd have

been long gone.

I'm afraid you
forgot to look in your

very own pad, old-timer.

You just didn't
plain think.

Aah!

[BEN GROANS]

Police! Freeze!

Ben! Ben!

Halt! Police!

They need us
more than he does,

Lieutenant.

TERRY: Lieutenant!

[GUNSHOTS]

[FIRING CONTINUES]

Police officer! Freeze!

Big hitter, though, eh Ben?

Well, I think
I did fine.

Yeah, well.
I think you're a

reckless old coot.

Eddie, you ever
call me an

old coot again

I'll knock you
right on your keister.

I'll call the wagon.

Thank you, ma'am.
Thank you.

Hi, Ben.

Oh, hi boys.

Haven't seen you around
for a while.

Well, you know
how it is here.

You get busy, I...

I've been having
a little trouble

gearing down from

being back in harness.

The insurance company
was sure happy

to get those jewels back.

Oh.
WEBSTER: Yeah, and

Lieutenant Ryker says

that there
will be a reward.

Good, good.

What's you plans, Ben?

Plans? Oh, I...
I don't have any plans.

I read a little,
sit in the sun and...

Uh, read some more, I guess.
I don't know.

Ben.

What's that?

It's a telephone number.

Lieutenant Ryker
asked us

to give it to you.

It's the number of the, uh,
Police Athletic Association.

They're expecting
your call.

Yeah?

About what?

About a job.
If you're interested.

[EXHALES]

Ben, there are
so many things

that you could do.

Depends on what you want.

You can sit there
in that chair.

It's your choice.
