[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.
