1 Adam 12, 1 Adam 12, a 2-11 in progress.

1 Adam 12, handle code 3.

Hey, Jim, do me a favor, will you? What?

I've got some new batteries back there. Put them on my flashlight.

You better hope you never get assigned to an L car.

Why? So you don't have to do all these highly technical police duties by

yourself. Just make sure you don't put the batteries in backwards.

Some people look just like their dogs.

They've got the same color of hair.

What do you think they look like?

Pete? Hmm?

I said, don't you think she looks like her dog?

I don't know. I haven't looked at her dog yet.

Any unit in the vicinity of Mulholland and Havenhurst, meet Air 10 on TAC-2.

We're close enough.

One out of 12, I'll meet Air 10 on TAC-2.

One out of 12, Roger.

One out of 12 to Air 10, go.

Roger, one out of 12.

We've got a dirt bike riding the hills in a fire hazard area.

He's under tree cover now, but we figure he'll break from Mulholland Drive any

time. Can you come in from the east?

Roger, Air 10, we're on our way.

Air Ten, we're approaching Mulholland now. Do you see us?

Roger, Adam Twelve.

Turn left on Mulholland and hold your position.

You should be able to see him.

He's wearing a blue helmet, light blue shirt, and jeans.

Roger, Air Ten.

12 he's coming right at you can you see him negative air 10 but we can hear him

Never catch him on these curves.

One out of 12. We have the suspect in view.

He's on Calneva, a quarter of a mile ahead of you.

Roger, Air 10.

Air 10 to one out of 12.

Out of 12 to Air 10, go.

Bike split to a single-story cream-colored house, mid-block on

Oakhurst. Bike's now in the garage.

Rider ran into the house.

Roger, Air 10. Did you run the bike?

Roger, one out of 12.

Bikes registered to the Kenneth Rule, 1-9-5-0-7 Oakhurst. No wants, no

warrants.

Roger, Lieutenant.

1-9-5-0-7 Oakhurst.

The police.

Now, you see, don't you? It isn't just me.

He was bragging about fooling the helicopter.

He thought he got away with it.

That's how I found out about it. I wasn't doing anything.

Just went for a little ride.

A little ride.

Officers, could you tell him about brush fires?

Could you tell him what a little ride could do around here?

Did you ever see a brush fire, son?

I've told him a hundred times. I've told him again and again how dangerous these

hills are when the brush dries out, but he won't listen to me. Oh, no, he knows

better. She always makes such a big deal out of everything.

She's right this time. You can bet on it. I lived through the Bel Air fire.

Walls aflame everywhere.

Nothing could stop it, and nothing was left.

But he doesn't believe me.

I can't explain to him. Maybe you could tell him. Maybe he'd listen to you.

She acts as if I was playing with matches or something out there. I was

just dirt riding.

Well, that's almost as bad.

Apart from a rocker, the exhaust, it doesn't take much.

See? I wasn't exaggerating. Well, the motorcycle goes.

Mom! Wait a minute. There are plenty of safe places he could ride. These ride

dirt tracks with inclines and trails. No, sir.

No more. I've reached the limit.

Anyway, you're going to have to sell the motorcycle to pay for your fine. I'm not

going to pay for it. What fine?

What, do you think they're here for nothing?

They're going to give you a ticket.

Well, not a ticket, but an application for complaint will be filed with the

city attorney's office.

Do you have a driver's license?

You see, maybe next time you'll listen to me.

I'm on the fire, Tim.

You know, I bet your mother wasn't that bad.

She was right. You should have listened.

Yeah, that's the trouble. She's always right.

1-9-12 to Air 10.

1-9-12, go.

Air 10, the suspect's been located and a complaint application will be made.

Thanks for standing by, KMA.

Roger, 1-9-12.

Thanks for your assist.

KMA.

Just a minute, officer.

I want to talk to you about that helicopter of yours.

Yes, sir. Could I have your name? Yeah, Ed Mason. I live over there. You got any

idea how much trouble that thing causes? What the noise is like inside a house?

Yes, sir, but the helicopter does important work. And television. You know

what it does to the television reception when he's flying around?

Yes, sir, but sometimes that can't be helped.

Oh, don't tell me what can't be helped. Let me tell you something. A lot of us

are getting fed up, fed up to the teeth. What's he doing up there today anyhow?

Just flapping around, that's all.

No, sir, that's not all.

Without the helicopter, we wouldn't have known that a boy was riding his

motorcycle up there in those hills.

I don't have to tell you what a fire would mean around this area, do I?

Loud, flapping noisemakers, that's all they are. What's the sense talking to

you?

Now, you think you convinced that guy?

I don't believe you heard a word I said.

One out of 12. One out of 12. Unknown trope.

224 Hinton Street at the Savoy Theater.

Code 2.

One out of 12. Roger.

No cashier? Yeah.

Orbison? I called.

Just can't figure it out. What happened?

I came up to buy a ticket about 50 minutes ago and found a place like this.

Now, the movie's going on and there's no sign of Tom Holmes, the manager, or

Nancy, the ticket girl.

What's your name?

John. John Wager.

I'm retired.

I work part-time at a drugstore across the street.

Okay, Mr. Wager. We'll check into it.

Few people inside.

Let's check upstairs.

Mr. Holmes?

All right. Thank God you guys showed up. No telling how long we've been staying

here otherwise.

What happened?

That was the craziest thing.

This fella pulls up in his motorcycle and comes right in at us and puts a

cannon in my face and demands all the money. We need some information for a

broadcast. How long ago did it happen?

Oh, about 25 minutes ago, wasn't it, Nancy?

Did you get a license number?

No, but he had a new bike. It was gray.

What did the guy look like?

Well, he was dark-haired, about a...

165 pounds, 5 feet 10.

Wearing a blue denim jacket, orange motorcycle helmet with bubble face

shield. Riding a gray motorcycle.

Suspect is armed with a .45 caliber automatic.

All units, a 211 occurred 25 minutes ago.

Let's get this on the teletype. Right.

Suspect is a male.

Blue denim jacket, orange motorcycle helmet with a bubble face shield.

Suspect armed with a $390 automatic.

So 1-9-12, show us code 6. We're stopping a 2-11 suspect at Callow and

Fulton. License is 9-Zebra-9951.

Keep your hands away from your body and turn around.

Sorry.

I think I'll get off the street before I'm shot again. Be a good idea.

Your transmission was covered. All units, stand by.

One X-ray 14, go ahead.

One X-ray 14, suspect is westbound in Sepulveda now crossing Woodman.

One X-ray 14, roger. Do you have a license number?

One X-ray 14, negative.

converge this area.

One X-ray 14, roger. All units, would you... They got him now. There's no way

out of that.

Just turned into Palmwood Estates. Requesting a backup.

Where you going?

There is a way out of the pedestrian tunnel.

your face, arms straight out at your sides. Let's go! Move!

Any unit in the vicinity assist 1X-ray 14.

A 211 suspect escaped through the pedestrian tunnel at Penmar and the

freeway.

Why don't you tell him we'll handle that?

There's that match set again.

She does a lot of window shopping. That dog's legs must be ready to drop off.

No, not with Scotties. Oh?

They've got tremendous endurance.

You send a Scotty down a hole after a badger or a gopher, and he'll stay down

there till he gets them. He'd rather die than give up.

Is that so?

Yeah.

You want to know something else about a Scotty? Not really.

You don't?

You may not believe this, Jim, but you've already told me more about

Scotty's than I really want to know.

Oh, Pete, you don't know what you're missing.

Black guy says tie him up. And the other one couldn't be bothered.

Anything to add?

Two men, one black, one white, with red hair, thin.

That's all he said before he died.

Nothing about a car?

Nothing. They got away so fast, they probably turned the silent alarm on the

way out.

How much did they get?

Don't know yet. Looks like the guards surprised them.

Air 10 to 1L20.

Air 10 to 1L20.

adam 12 roger plan that chopper like a trout

they should be right in front of us

Just a big joke.

Oh, we knew you were coming. We just knew you were coming.

That helicopter, it was going this way and that way.

Well, it looked like a kite, huh? A big kite with a long string on it. Our

string, huh? We had you going, boy, didn't we? Have you going. That's the

funniest thing I ever did.

Hey, who'd you think we were? Bonnie and Clyde?

Who owns the car?

Oh, she does. She does.

You got some identification?

Take it out of the wallet.

Let's see yours.

Just hand me the purse.

All right, take the wallet out and show me the ID.

Yes, officer.

Yeah. You didn't do arrest us for murder or something? We didn't do anything

illegal. No.

Not even a traffic violation.

You just saw the chopper and thought you'd play games with it, right?

Charlie said he would follow us, but I didn't believe him.

Hey, what do you think we've done?

Shot somebody?

That's right. That's exactly what we thought.

You're kidding.

A department store was robbed about two blocks from where you started your

little game.

A night watchman was killed.

You mean that chopper was really looking for somebody? Yeah.

For the guys who shot the night watch.

You're not making this up, are you?

You mean somebody was really killed?

For real?

For real.

Suddenly it's not so funny, is it?

Don't let it bug you.

I've seen six-year-olds act with more sense. I know.

from 4521 Riverton, Sumner Department Store.

One X-ray 31 has suspect in custody.

Well, at least somebody got him. Yeah.

Pete?

Where's Scotty again?

Dog, where's your owner?

Maybe she deserted him.

I don't think so.

Let's check around.

Wait a minute.

What are you doing?

Playing a hunch.

Clever.

If you're shopping for furs, lady, it's a little late in the evening.

Those dogs make great detectives.

Yeah. They just make lousy lookouts.

Thank you.
