1-Adam-12, 1-Adam-12,

possible 459,
suspects there now.

1-Adam-12, 1-Adam-12,

a 415, man with a gun.

1-Adam-12, no warrant.
Lincoln, X-Ray, Ida 483.

1-Adam-12, a 415, fight
group with chains and knives.

One more thing.
According to Analytical,

there have been five armed
robberies in the last 10 days,

that were coincidental
with the unfounded calls

from the opposite
end of the Division.

You mean all these robberies
are the result of one joker

putting in phony calls to draw us
into the wrong end of the Division?

That's the way it looks.

What kind of phony calls?

Shots fired, 415 fight,

woman screaming, man
with a gun, man with a knife,

all hotshot calls.

How do we tell the phonies?

Mac?

Oh, you can't.

But when a hotshot call comes
out don't all of you pile on it.

Just point yourselves in the right
direction and sort of drift that way.

Now, the car assigned to
the call and the nearest unit,

go Code 6 as soon as you arrive.

The rest of you,

as soon as you hear there are
two units Code 6 on the scene,

stay in your own
districts and hang loose.

Any questions?

Lieutenant?

The suspect is described as
a male Caucasian, 25 to 28,

5'11" to 6', brown and black.

Weapon used was a
.45 caliber automatic.

Suspect wears a dark
windbreaker jacket and dark pants.

No vehicle is described.

D.R. number is 6-8-1-6-5-3-1-2.

Suspect has pistol-whipped
three of the victims

and the last one
is still in a coma.

Suspect is considered
extremely dangerous.

Did you study that map
the Lieutenant gave us?

I just glanced at it, why?

Get it out and
take a look at it.

Okay, so I'm looking at it.

What am I supposed to be seeing?

I don't know exactly. I was hoping
there'd be some kind of a pattern

so we could tell where
that guy was gonna hit next.

I'd sure like to bust him.

What's that?

What's what?

That sound.

What sound?

There. Hear it?

Yeah, what is it?

I don't know.

Maybe it's the heat riser.

No, that's a clattering sound.

Yeah, you're right.

Sounds like it's coming
from the left front.

Sounds to me like it's
coming from the right.

It stopped.

No kidding.

1-Adam-12, 1-Adam-12,
a grand theft horse.

1602 North Los Feliz Avenue.

Grand theft horse?

They're putting us on.

Hey, maybe that's a phony call.

Grand theft horse?

That's gotta be for
real, it's too goofy.

1-Adam-12, roger.

1602, right?

That's what she said.

Reed.

Yeah?

Don't say it.

Don't say that the
noise has started again?

Yeah.

I won't.

I must say, you
got here in a hurry.

Well, we try.
What's the problem?

About 10 minutes ago
somebody stole Herman.

Herman's a horse?

A horse.

Well, how was he taken?

There was this hippy hanging
around the hitch rail for about an hour.

What do you mean by "hippy"?

Hippy. You know, long hair,
beads, dirty, the whole bit.

What was he doing?

Well, he was just
looking at the horses.

I think he was a little stoned.

He kept bowing his head.

What happened then?

Well, then I had a long
phone call and when I got back

to my desk I look out the window
and he and Herman are gone.

Well, where do you
think he'd take the horse?

The bridle trail.

I don't think he'd try and
take him on the streets.

Is that bridle trail
wide enough for a car?

Not all the way.

Well, partner,
what do we do now?

Darned if I know.

Hey! That horse cost me $600.

You mean you're not
going to do anything about it.

Well, we'll do something. I
just haven't decided what.

The bridle trail is
too narrow for a car,

and even if it wasn't, we couldn't get
close enough to him to put the arm on him.

I mean, he... he'd see us
coming and take off up the hill.

Well, I'll let you have
a couple of horses.

You go in and you get him.

Us on horses?

Sure. I'll let you have Thelma
and Cupcake, they're real goers.

They are.

Well, that's a real good idea,

but it's a question
of city liability.

I mean, we wouldn't want
anything to happen to your animals.

Yeah, we sure wouldn't
want anything to happen.

Well, that's okay. They're
insured against accidental injury.

They are.

Well, to... to tell you the
truth I'm not sure we are,

if we took your horses and
got tossed on our heads.

What's the matter, you chicken?

Well, we're police
officers, not cowboys.

I... I'll tell you what, um, you
get a description of Herman,

and a drawing of the brand on him
and have the owner sign a crime report.

I'm gonna get a hold
of the park rangers.

Okay.

Are you the owner?

Yes, I am.

Could I have your name, please?

Joanna Slater.

1-Adam-12, requesting
two park rangers meet me,

1602 North Los
Feliz Avenue, Code 2.

1-Adam-12, roger.

Okay, suspect is described
as a male Caucasian,

hippy type, approximately 19,

6' to 6'1", long dark hair,

wearing beads,
denims. Is that it?

He's also wearing boots.

Right.

If he stays in the park,
there's not much we can do.

If you see him, grab him and
we'll take him off your hands.

Okay, but what
if he splits on us?

You mean like out
of the park? Yeah.

Where would he go?
Which way would he head?

Probably up towards Ridge Drive,

there's too much traffic
going the other way.

Well, we'll go up and prowl
Ridge Drive for a while.

If you see him chase him to us.

It ought to work. Give it a try.

Sure thing, see you. Thanks.

You, uh, think the car'll
make it through the watch?

I don't know. The instruments
read okay. The car drives fine.

Goes when you push
the slanty pedal down.

There he is.

He should come out
in the break up ahead.

All right, hold it!

All right, you're
under arrest, mister.

Put your left hand
behind your head.

Well, there goes Herman.

Y'all don't have to worry
none about him, Officer.

He's just headin' for the barn.

Read him his rights
and put him in the car.

All right. Come with me.

Well, under the circumstances,
sir, it'd be my pleasure.

Thanks, fellas, we couldn't
have caught him without you.

We couldn't have
caught him without you.

That kid knows how
to ride. Apparently.

Hey, do us one
more favor, will you?

Sure, what do you need?

Follow that horse down
the trail and make sure

he doesn't get clobbered
crossing the street.

Okay. We'll see you down there.

Right. Let's go.

What's your name, son?

Oh, Leroy, uh,
Samuel Rutherford.

Where are you from, Leroy?

Big Springs, Texas.

Is that where you
learned to ride?

Yes, sir. On my daddy's ranch.

I'm, uh, powerful sorry
I put you fellas out.

You are, huh?

Yes, sir.

Are your folks out here?

No, they're back home.

Do they know where you are?

Well, I reckon.

I sent 'em a picture postcard.

How long you been out here?

Ah, about,

about three months.

Where you living?

Well, ever since I got throwed
out of my room last week

I been crashin' up in the hills.

Tell me something Leroy,
why'd you steal the horse?

Did you think you could
sell it or something?

No sir, no, I... I didn't
rightly think that, no.

What was it then,
kicks, joy riding?

No sir, but...

Well, it's, uh, it's just
kind of hard to explain.

Why don't you give it a try?

We're pretty good
at figuring things out.

Well, y'all won't laugh at me?

No, we won't laugh at you.

Well, I come out here

so's I could find Leroy
Samuel Rutherford.

Y'all dig?

So far. Uh-huh.

Well,

every righteous soul I met said he
knew exactly what I was lookin' for,

'cause he was lookin'
for the same thing.

And then he'd give me
somethin' to swallow,

or smoke, or stick in my arm.

Y'all ever try acid?

No. No.

Well, now that stuff just tears
the rag right off of the bush.

I mean, I saw things I
just knew weren't there.

What did you have today?

Well, I don't rightly know,

but it made me feel real sad.

Why'd you take the horse?

Well, I was just
sittin' on that rail

lookin' at them horses
and thinkin' to myself,

"Leroy, you ain't gonna
find yourself out here

because you're back in Texas."

And the next thing I knew I was in
that saddle just headin' for home.

Yeah, well,

now I guess I'll be going
to calaboose for a spell.

It looks that way.

Well, might not be so bad.

Probably do me some
good to eat regular again

and get off them pills.

I think they mess
a fella up some.

1-Adam-12, clear.

What's the matter?

Looking around for another car

before this one drives
me into a rubber room.

I already checked,
they're all tied up.

Hmm.

1-Adam-12, 1-Adam-12,

a 415, woman, see the manager.

15563 South Century.

1-Adam-12, roger.

Are you the manager? Yes.

What's the problem?

Well, I think we
got a psycho broad.

She's sitting on the ground
over there, in the back of that car.

She won't let the
guy move his wheels.

Is she a registered guest here?

Well, yes.

That guy who's trying to leave,
he paid her rent for one night.

Oh, and I mean
for her, not for them.

Let's see what we can find out.

Okay, folks, let's break it up.

Just go on back to
your rooms, folks.

Nothing more to
see, we'll handle it.

See here, Officer,
can you do something

about moving that girl from the
back of my car so I can leave?

Who are you, sir?

Charles Carter. I live
in Manhattan Beach.

You have something
with your name on it?

Look, this hasn't anything
to do with me. It's her!

We just like to know
who we're talking to.

Would you take it out
of the wallet, please?

What's your name, miss?

Are you sick?

Are you injured?

Is this your correct
address, Mr. Carter?

Yes.

Want to tell us
what's going on here?

Sue-Sue called
me this afternoon.

Sue-Sue?

Susan Baker.

Go on.

Well, anyway, she calls
me as soon as I get home.

Says she's in town and
says to come and get her.

Come and get her where?

At the airport.

She just flew in from
Roanoke, Virginia.

That's where she lives.

And that's where I met her, a couple
of weeks ago, on a business trip.

I'm a sales engineer
and I travel all the time.

Yeah?

So I picked her up, thinking she
wants me to take her someplace.

And?

She came out
here to live with me.

Now, I don't know how she got
the idea I was in love with her.

I only took her out four
or five times in Virginia.

Of course, you never told
her you were in love with her.

Well,

no more than any guy would
under the circumstances.

How old is she?

She's 18.

I saw her driver's license.

Believe me, I checked.

I'll bet you did.

Why'd you bring her here?

She didn't have
any place to stay.

I couldn't just dump
her out of the car

into the street, could I?

Anyway, as soon as I
tried to leave she threw a fit.

How did she get the
money to come out here?

I don't know, Officer.
I didn't give it to her.

Her folks aren't
exactly paupers.

Look, is there any legal
reason why I can't leave?

No, Mr. Carter.

As far as we can tell you haven't
done anything wrong, legally.

Well, I'd appreciate being able

to take my car
and get out of here.

I've got a business appointment.

All right, partner,
let's move the girl.

Okay, Sue-Sue,

time to get on your feet
and be a big girl now.

I'm not gonna move.

You'll have to arrest me.

Now, what would a pretty
girl like you do in jail?

Let's put her in her room.

I won't go in that
room. I want to go to jail.

Why?

Because I'm only 17.

When's your birthday? Quick.

October 28, 1949, uh, '50.

Which is it?

'50.

Sorry young lady.
That makes you 18.

On your feet, now.

Get her stuff,
will you, partner?

Okay.

All right, let's sit
down and talk about it.

Well, if I broke that window
you'd have to take me to jail.

Look, we wouldn't
want to see you do that.

Sit.

Come on, sit.

Sit down!

You ever been arrested?

No.

Believe me, Susan, it's no game.

That's right. You don't want
to go through life with a record.

I won't stay here alone.

I won't!

I'll go crazy if I have
to stay here tonight.

Then why don't you go home?

I can't go home.

What about your folks?

No!

Do they know where you are?

No, not exactly.

Well, don't you think
you ought to tell them?

Look, Susan, it's not
the end of the world.

You're not the first girl to
fall for a 24-karat phony.

That's life in the big city,
and lessons aren't free.

I have been such a fool.

How can I possibly go
home and face my mother?

She warned me about him,

and, oh, I went
and did it anyway.

I just can't go home
and face her. I can't.

I can't.

Blow your nose.

You not only can, you will.

How do you think your mother
spotted Carter as a phony

in the first place, huh?

I don't know.

She probably bought one of
life's little lessons the hard way, too.

Now, we got better
things to do than sit here

and nursemaid you all day.

What's your phone number?

Uh, 5-2-8-0-0-6-9.

Operator, give me the long
distance operator, please.

Operator, I'd like to place a
collect call to Roanoke, Virginia,

5-2-8-0-0-6-9,

person-to-person to, uh...
What's your mother's name?

Helen. Helen Baker.

Party placing the call
is Susan Baker. Hey.

Okay, operator. I'll wait.

Hey, try not to take it so hard.

So you made a
mistake, a tough one,

but if you don't learn to
accept it, you're gonna...

just get in deeper and deeper
until you're in real trouble.

Besides, like my partner said,
it's... it's not the end of the world.

How would you know what it's
going to be like for me at home?

You're a man.

So that's what's bugging you.

What the guys back home
are going to think and say.

Look, if... if it was
me I'd just say

that you're a pretty girl
that got loused up by a heel.

And it's nothing to
make a big deal about.

Mrs. Baker, this
is Officer Malloy

of the Los Angeles
Police Department.

No, ma'am, she's not hurt.

No, she's not in
jail. She's just fine.

Just a minute, I'll let
her tell you herself.

All right, now
tell her the truth.

Mother?

Oh, Mother.

I've been such a dummy.

Yes, Mother, I know.

I will!

That Carter, he's
really something.

It all evens out.

She had to learn the hard way

and one of these days
he's going to play games

with the wrong little girl
and get a knife in his ribs.

You know, Malloy, for
a guy who's not married,

you, uh, read dames pretty well.

How do you think I
stayed single so long?

All units in the vicinity
and 1-Adam-11,

1-Adam-11,

a prowler there
now, see the man,

427 East Catalina.

Hey, Catalina's
back the other way.

Yeah, but there's a lot of
liquor stores down this way.

You think that call's a phony?

Feels wrong to me.

All units, 1-Adam-11
reports a Code 4,

427 East Catalina,
unable to locate P.R.

You were right, Malloy.

Maybe, if this is the guy we're looking
for, a 211 should go down just about now.

Any unit in the vicinity,
identify and handle,

a 211 in progress
at the liquor store,

6340 West Spring.

Any available unit,
identify and handle, Code 3.

Buy that call partner. We're
about three blocks away.

1-Adam-12, we'll handle
211 at 6340 West Spring.

1-Adam -12, roger, Code 3.

Get set, it's the next corner.

They're taking off.

1-Adam-12 is in pursuit of 211.

Suspects westbound
on Crawford at 65th.

Suspect vehicle is
a red Ford Falcon.

Suspects have fired at officers.

They keep that up they might get
lucky. You better discourage 'em.

They're not gonna
make that turn.

He's out cold.

Yeah, this one, too. You
better call an ambulance.

Yeah, I'd better get
the fire department, too.

One of them matches

the description of our armed
robbery suspect to a tee.

How'd you smell that
prowler call as a phony?

Mostly it was just a hunch.

And the fact that most prowler
calls are "see the woman"

and this one was "see the man."

That's using your head.

Sarge, what's the story
on the liquor store clerk?

We didn't get a chance
to see if he was hurt.

Well, he was beat up,
but he's gonna be okay.

That's good. He can testify against
those two guys once they get patched up.

Yeah. By the way, Malloy,

you know it's against policy to
fire at a moving vehicle, don't you?

Well, it's also against
policy to get yourself killed.

Yeah.

Well, we'll go into that in
detail later. You can count on it.

For now you better get
working on your report.

Malloy?

Yeah.

You think we're in trouble?

You know, for firing at
the suspects back there.

It's possible.

It'll be mostly up to the
Captain after he gets the report.

We didn't have
much choice, did we?

You could have let
them get away from us.

Maybe another unit would have
stopped them and maybe not.

Maybe they'd kill somebody
no matter how it went down.

I didn't figure we
had much choice.

You think the Captain'll
see it that way?

I don't know. In
a spot like that

sometimes you gotta take
your chances with the book.

Goes with the territory.

I guess so.

Hey, Malloy, guess what?

What?

The noise is gone.
