Hey, there you go, Ponch. Sale starts tomorrow.

'That's where you can get your new refrigerator.'

I'll look. I can wait a while.

What do you mean? I thought yours broke down.

What are you using now?

Well, I'm sharing with Elizabeth, down the hall.

She lets me use her refrigerator.

I let her come over and play backgammon.

Watch my TV, dance with her.

Yeah, things have a way of working out for you, don't they?

Chub! Chub, come on!

What have you been doing?

What have I been doing? Hah!

Watching cops.

It's Sunday, all the stores are closed.

What happens if one of 'em

comes over and asks us what we're doin'?

If they see us, they think we belong here.

That's why we put the lettering on the truck.

Mike, this is my last job. I'm telling you.

I mean, if we were stealing small stuff at night

okay, but this, I-I-I-I-I--

- Okay, but get going! - Shh!

The more we work, the sooner we get out of here.

Okay.

Hi, Ponch! Hi, Jon!

Ahh!

You alright, Pam?

Gosh darn wire!

I slipped.

How about that elbow? Can you move your arm?

I'm sorry, Officer Baker.

I'm sorry, Pam.

Who was the other guy?

I-I don't know. I never saw his face.

Sirens! The cops are coming!

We set off the silent alarm!

Cops do not answer silent alarms with their sirens.

Where's your head?

Get in, will you?

Oh, you couldn't catch him, huh?

Ever try to outmaneuver a go

I didn't even get a good look at him.

Where's Pam?

Uh, Duffy helped her take the bicycle home.

'That's the kid who stopped.'

I'm really sorry. I, uh...

...I knew I shouldn't drive in the street.

Who's the guy I chased?

I-I don't know. I-I, I, uh, never saw his face.

I was working on this in the driveway

and-and he came by.

He did a couple of donuts in the street

a-and he hollered things at me.

Finally, I just took after him.

What if Pam had been lying in the middle of the street

'when you came around that corner?'

Oh.

Well, I'm glad she wasn't.

Yeah, well, for a guy who's trying to make our go-cart

racing team, that wasn't very smart.

Look, Duffy, uh, you better push that thing on home, huh?

Yes, sir.

You know, three other kids we're lining up for the team

live within two miles of here.

Yeah, I'm gonna go by Pam's house.

Uh, I'll check on Fritz Milton.

Alright, I'll meet you there.

I'm gonna check on the Jones kid, and Wayne Bond.

The VIN is 9 John 66 King 109-811.

It's 23

Doesn't anyone take notes anymore?

After a while, you don't have to, sarge.

You develop a good memory.

That's why you forgot to, uh..

pick up the jail forms yesterday, right?

Ha! Oh, he said a good memory, sarge, not a great one.

Okay, okay, look. Humor me, will you, please? Take notes.

"Slauson off ramp will be closed for repairs for two days."

"Service traffic in that area is gonna be a mess."

Be...a...mess.

Got it.

It's gonna be one of those days, hmm?

Okay, watch for suspicious trucks

at stores that aren't open for business.

Yesterday morning, someone ripped off

an appliance store at National and Concord.

Hey, that's, uh, Price Brothers appliances.

That truck had Price Brothers lettering on it.

It did?

Oh, well, actually, I was

in hot pursuit at the time, so..

Yeah, I read your report.

Uh, hot pursuit of a kid in a go

A go One of ours?

Atta boy, Ponch. Go for it!

Yeah, leave the biggies to us.

Okay, okay. Look, Ponch, slowly. Um..

You thought you saw the truck that robbed the store?

Well, sure, trucks are always delivering

to stores that are closed.

You thought it was delivering?

Yeah, he thought it was delivering, because..

Hey, hey, Baker, please, huh?

Ahem! A green and white 5-ton Chevy truck.

It had the Price Brothers' name on it.

Hey, how was I to know? It looked legit.

Thought it was delivering.

Okay. Least we know, uh, something we didn't know before.

'Alright, those not taking notes, take note.'

A green and white Chevy 5-ton.

Okay, that's it. Uh, Frank, Jon?

I hear some kid in a go-cart got away from you.

- Oh, boy.

- We're not sure.

We still have a few mavericks in the target area

who haven't come around.

I thought you had that go-cart situation under control.

We did, we do...we think.

Well, if you have any trouble, let me know.

Certain parties have a sporting interest

in our team beating the Fire Department team.

Harlan, it's not our team. It's the kids' team.

That's the point. We're only advisers.

Right. Strictly unofficial.

But look, the Fire Department's making it sound like

all we do around here is run a go-cart club.

So look for the good of the department, boys

make it work, huh? Or pull out of it.

Sergeant, what if they do pull out?

Then cancel my bet with the fire chief

and give him back his money.

Should have thought of that.

Slide over.

If I come out running, drive out of here fast.

Mike, let the collection agency take the truck. Mike!

The keys are in the ignition of that truck.

There's a dozen $500 typewriters in there!

Back up. If anybody follows me, block 'em.

Mike!

Hey! Hey, wait a minute! What are you doing!

Hey, come back with my truck!

Get the police! Call the police!

'All units in position.'

'10-851 from Ozzie's office equipment.'

'18-01 West Carrington.'

'Vehicle is a '77 pickup with Ozzie's name on the doors.'

'Occurred three ago, no direction given.'

Fantastic.

Fantastic!

15, 7-Adam in pursuit of the 851 suspect

eastbound Carrington 85th. Headed for the I-5.

15, 7-Charles, northbound 405.

You alright, sir?

We'll back you, Bonnie, ride our brakes.

LA 15 Mary 3, we got a multiple 11-80, uh..

foothill west of Mission, roll on an 11-41, 11-85.

'10-4, Mary-3.'

Typing paper?

I spoke to Ozzie Ozeray, the proprietor.

He packed it in typewriter boxes for the move.

Ha, the thief must have thought he had a few thousand bucks

worth of typewriters.

It's entirely possible that the truck that blocked

the alley was in on the caper.

Now, the front license plate was missing, but Ozzie described it

as a green and white Chevy truck, probably 5-ton.

Price Brothers supplies truck.

He didn't see any lettering on it, but, uh..

lettering can be washed off or painted over.

Well, at least two guys. One of them may be hurt.

He's hot, too. Grand theft auto, felony hit-and-run.

And they hit on stores that are running special sales

stock reduction, going out of business, whatever.

Could be a couple women.

What?

It's hard to resist a good sale.

Alright. We all got paperwork to do.

Yeah, we got a go-cart meeting at 4.

Now, about the kid who got away from me..

He's not gonna be busted for what he did last Sunday

but before he tries it again

I think it's the purpose of your club to reach out there

and get the message to him.

Why?

'Duffy?'

Well, uh, my dad says t-that

if we go back to bugging the neighborhood like before

then we could lose our sponsors.

He ought to pay to fix Pam's bike.

If he doesn't cool it, he's gonna get himself killed.

Yeah, and if he gets caught, he could be in real trouble, right?

Maybe go to jail.

No, we don't put kids in jail, Wayne.

But arrested? Yes.

And trouble with the juvenile authorities? Yes.

Go Yes.

Now, last Sunday, Duffy here turned around and came back.

That took some guts.

It might take some guts for the other kid to come forward

but that's what he ought to do.

'Wayne?'

Okay, uh, Duffy got suspended last Sunday

and what he did was good, he came back.

I think we should vote that Duffy's okay.

The reason I'm talking to you because we're talking to

all the parents of the kids in the club

and Wayne's mom and dad aren't here.

There are times when I think he's more mine than theirs.

Oh, I suppose I shouldn't say that.

They love the boy. They give him everything they can.

Oh, yeah, from where this time?

In Spain.

They're working on their book about

some ancient caves in the mountains there.

They say they'll fly right home if there's any real trouble.

Well, a go-cart in the streets is trouble.

I mean, it's a rolling deathtrap.

When I write to 'em, do I say that

Wayne is the boy you were chasing?

Please, tell me the truth.

Well, we don't know who the boy was.

But perhaps you could remind his folks that

a kid can get scared and lonely in a crowd

when he's only 14 years old.

'All in favor, raise your hand.'

'Aye.'

Alright, meeting adjourned.

Alright, cookies and milk in the kitchen.

If any of you needs a ride home

go on out to my station wagon out front.

Duffy wouldn't talk about going back to what they did before

unless he knew it was somebody in the club.

Norma thinks he was working in the garage

but she was away at church at the time.

If that was the jacket, it was just the right color.

And if it was meant to be hidden..

The point is, that happened on Sunday.

I mean, that's a thing of the past.

The whole idea is for them to develop, uh..

you know, their own sense of community responsibility.

Maybe what I said at the meeting will do it.

Let's give them till tomorrow after school.

They ought to be home from school now.

I'm gonna go see Wayne.

Wayne! Hey, Wayne! Wait!

Ponch! I'll-I'll help! I'll help!

Go to the motorcycle..

...grab the microphone.

Press the thumb button, say who you are.

Tell them there's a car over the side in Echo Lake.

'Hurry!'

Alright, alright.

We got to get you breathing, lady, come on.

Alright.

That-a-way, that-a-way, that-a-way.

Listen to me, listen to me, listen to me.

Can you understand me?

Get me out of here! Get me out!

Hold it! Hold it! Hold it. Hold it.

Calm down now, I got you.

It's okay. Just calm down.

Calm yourself, okay? Just calm yourself.

My foot is caught.

In the safety strap, I know.

Now, listen..

Listen to me.

Find your leverage with your other foot, okay?

Get your leverage, alright?

And keep your head above water.

I'm gonna untangle you. Alright?

- Mmm.

Alright.

- Alright. - I can't swim! I can't swim!

Alright, alright. Now, listen to me.

Just listen, honey. Listen.

All you got to do..

...is take a deep breath and hold it.

A deep breath and hold it, and I'll do the rest.

Okay, can you do that? Can you do that?

Mm-hmm.

Alright. Alright, now. Just relax.

Try to relax, and let's just do it, okay?

On three, alright?

One, two, three.

Come on, I got you.

Put your arm on my shoulder.

You're okay, you're okay. You're fine. Lay down.

- Yeah.

Are you okay?

Yes.

Thanks for coming back, Wayne.

Took some guts.

I didn't have guts last Sunday.

Leave him alone for a little while.

Well, you saved the lady's life.

She's fine. Shocked, but no injury.

Who's the kid?

Wayne Bond. Our best driver.

LA 15 7-Mary-4.

Request one unit for traffic control and 1185.

Tow truck's on it's way.

- I'll wait for it. - Okay.

Guess I'm in a lot of trouble now, right?

Yes, you are, Wayne.

You let a lot of people down.

Yeah, I know.

Who knows..

Maybe now, my mom and dad will come home.

Come on.

Hey, Ponch, how did you find time

in the afternoon to take your bath?

Hilarious, Jay. Hilarious.

Speaking of taking a bath..

Is that what our go-cart team is gonna do

without Wayne Bond?

Hey, come to the practice.

Kids are doing fine.

They're terrific, Harlan.

And you can put that in the bank!

Yeah, every potter praises his own pot.

Louder if it's cracked!

He's alright. Norma's going from here to pick him up.

I-I wanted you to know that I cabled his parents.

His-his father's flying home.

Norma, that-that's not enough.

I mean, the kid has a need.

What's his parents' address?

Hey, come on, don't land on Norma.

We're not landing on Norma.

She's a fine, fine lady.

But it's gonna go better for Wayne in court

if his father and mother both care enough to be there

and they're gonna get a cable from me that says exactly that.

Norma, look, uh... you know Ponch.

He just ruined a $40 tailored shirt diving into that lake.

But he is dead right.

You're carrying too much. It's not your burden.

It's theirs.

Can you paint that on the truck?

That ASAP?

After today, you want to try again?

After today, we've got to try again.

We owe 3,000 bucks!

One good load of stereos is worth twice that much.

Mike, let 'em take the truck.

Let's go back to pumping gas.

We were happy pumping gas.

You were happy pumping gas.

You want to go back? Go back.

I'll do it with nothing painted on the truck.

Alright, I'll paint it on the side of the truck.

But, Mike, this is the last time.

One good haul, and we're in the business free and clear.

This baby's ours.

Now, relax.

Go, Pam, come on!

'Come on, Pam.'

'Come on, get out of there.'

'Get out of there. Come on.'

'Come on, meet me on the corner.'

Let's go, Pam. Come on.

- Not bad at all. - Hey, Caspar, you're early.

We have the track for 20 more minutes.

You haven't got any secrets to guard.

I already know I'm faster than you are.

It's not you that's faster. It's the kids.

And if they're faster, I know you're not.

- Uh, Ponch, it doesn't matter.

'Hey, wait a minute. He says he's faster.'

Faster than who?

Uh, Ponch, it-it doesn't matter.

Well, now, wait a minute. Yes, it does matter.

Let's find out.

Are you challenging me?

No, you challenged me.

Uh, no, he didn't.

'Yes, he did!'

Oh, boy!

Here we go! Ha ha ha!

- Alright, come on. - Go get him.

'Let's go!'

Ready? One, two, three. Go!

Come on, come on, come on!

No, no, Ponch! Wrong way!

Come on, come on!

- Way to go!

You went off the track!

What were you doing out there?

Hey, I was driving for the psychological advantage.

Now, they're overconfident.

'Hey, Ponch!'

Yeah?

Wayne's problem is causing a little trouble.

Three of the sponsors have already canceled out.

If only I had told the truth in the first place

none of this would have happened.

Duffy, look, you learned your lesson. Wayne, too.

But, I mean, Wayne wasn't going to stop

until he stopped himself.

That's what I told the other sponsors.

I mean, the kids have learned

and they've worked things out.

But they said just wait and see.

The bottom line is, the club can't even afford

to pay its own share of the cost.

The cost of what, the race?

It's the episode at the lake.

Hey, I'm willing to pay it myself.

It's not the race, it's the club.

That's right. And, Duffy, what is the club all about?

Well, uh, obey the law..

...you tell the truth..

...be responsible.

Responsible. You want the race?

You want the club?

Nobody's going to bail you out. You need some money?

You figure out a way to raise it.

You guys! Pam! Fritz!

Maybe a yard sale.

Babysitting.

- No, no, not our way.

It's their thing. They do it on their own.

No interference. We butt out.

It's the kids' thing.

Is that agreed?

- Right. - Okay.

- Howdy, Ponch. - Hi.

Hi. Ponch, this is Bob.

Hi, how are you?

So, what are you doing here anyway?

I'm supervising.

You weren't supposed to come. Nobody was.

This is my neighbor Elizabeth.

- Hi! - Hi.

'Oh, and, uh, Julie?'

She's with Harlan.

- Yeah!

- 'Ahh!'

God! Harlan! Harlan!

'Stop it!'

Harlan! Harlan! Harlan!

Harlan, just stop it! Oh!

Harlan! Harlan!

- Let's go. - Okay.

Ah! I'm all muddy!

No problem!

Ugh! Oh, no!

No. No.

Aah!

Aah!

There you go.

Hey, Marie!

Hey, okay. How about that?

You said none of the guys were coming.

I said all of the guys said

none of the guys were coming.

Alright? Come on.

Let me go!

- Attention! - Let go. Let go!

Attention!

May I remind you good people

that CHP's contribution to this, uh..

little enterprise is we pay for the water.

Aw.

Meeting dismissed.

Hey, sarge, how come you're the only one

not covered with mud and soaked to the skin?

Jon, I'm the sergeant.

Uh, off-duty, of course.

Ready?

Go!

- Go! Come on! - Go! Go!

- Alright, alright, alright. - Come on. Let's go.

We lost two! We got to win this one!

Oh, we'll win.

- We'll win! Come on! - Come on!

Let's go! Come on!

Okay, folks.

The official winner for the fourth

match race today is Ted Smokey Snider

'with the third-fastest time of the day.'

'That gives him three points for first place.'

Two points for, uh, Fritz Milton for second place.

That puts the Fire Department

three match races to one.

'11 points to nine for the CHP.'

Stay around for the main event and get your refreshments.

Excuse me.

- Their sponsors are good. - Oh, well, that's..

- Officer Baker!

- These are my parents. - Hi.

- Officer Baker. - Nice meeting you.

Hey! Wayne's here!

- Wayne! - Hey!

Alright! - Alright.

Pam, here's the $26 for your bike

from my own allowance.

From now on, I work for my money.

Can you drive for us?

My cart's qualified.

Yeah, yeah, take Jonesy's car!

No, I-I don't deserve to drive. It's part of my sentence.

Besides, i-it's not whether you win or lose

it's how you drive the tires off the Fire Department turkeys!

Yeah!

My mom and dad are waiting. Good luck.

- Yeah.

Guess I'm not too popular with Mr. and Mrs. Bond, huh?

Oh, truth is, Poncherello, they think you're quite a man.

If I were a few years younger I'd be chasing you myself.

- Come on. Go! - Go, go!

- Alright! - Let's go!

- Go! - 'Come on, come on.'

Keep going. Let's go.

Come on!

- Whoo! - Alright! Yeah!

The winner for three points, is Pam Farley CHP.

Second place for two points is Duffy Wells CHP.

One point for third place is Smokey Snider

Fire Department.

And the winner of the meet is, uh..

'...is, uh--'

Uh, excuse me.

The winner of the meet is CHP. 14 to 12!

Oh, yeah!

Stereos!

The sale must have been a success.

You said a whole truckload of stereos.

Knock it off, will you, Chub?

That was two days ago.

Mike, let's face it.

We're no good at this.

There's some furniture, let's get that.

Furniture?

Do you know what you can get for furniture?

Five years in prison.

I can't live like this!

Get the furniture.

Uh, LA 15-7-Adam.

Uh, there's a warehouse, uh, running a sale

not open for business.

Uh, 15-101 Budlong. I'm gonna check it out.

I'll be away from the radio for a couple.

'10-4, 7-Adam.'

There's a cop out front! Out front there's a cop!

- A real live cop!

Listen to what I'm telling you! There's a cop out front!

15 7-Adam, the 459 suspects are just leaving the warehouse

in a green and white 5-ton with an A-S-A-P logo.

'10-4, 7-Adam.'

'15 7-Adam, westbound I-10 at Arlington.'

How about an assist?

Mary 3 and 4, in position to back you up

at the valley overpass.

- Freeze! Get out of the truck! - Alright, everybody down.

Move!

Hands on your head.

Put your hands on your head.

Alright, get on your bellies.

Move it.

Okay, Chub, now say it.

I have nothing to say to you, Michael.

Anything else in there?

Yeah. A little refrigerator.
