rudy arnold larry jj jj

johnny told me you were just talking with the police chief over capitol city yeah

just as we thought the contracts out morrow's man is on his way you know capital city police

department has got enough inside information that's inside the organization to know that he's

using the same man there's any chance it's uh one of the guys we got the mug shots on no no no this

man's a specialist no name no description no clue no no nothing makes it interesting

look larry i can't let you stay around madrid i mean i just don't have the manpower to give

you the protection you need where do you want me to go sam capital city well i thought um el rio

it's close to capital city sam i'm uh i'm just a local boy you know i really feel a lot safer right

here if you don't mind anyhow i kind of figured that if you'll stay you know i can stay and help

you out look you haven't put in the years i have and you're not paid to do what i do so forget it

i don't really want to cause anybody any trouble and you know that sam but i do want to stay

okay but strictly around the office and i want you to throw away the schedule i don't want to see

any pattern what you do because if i see it you'll see it how about putting larry's house on a patrol

pattern might cut out any sort of surveillance this could have set up yes the lungs didn't on

a regular basis so says yay who can't set a clock by it yeah that's about it sam i'll be glad to go

by and pick up larry when it's time for a shift rudy i can't let you do that it breaks up your off

time listen it's a couple of days right how much breaking up gonna be i know pete and rodriguez

will chip in some time see that larry gets home when he checks off okay all right man up and adam

gee i'm surprised you didn't hear about it this uh syndicate man charlie morrell was trying to

move into madrid county with his operation and sam found out about it and he and one of

his deputies been one of the da's men infiltrated the organization and they caught morel red-handed

really that's fantastic yeah that must be a huge crew for sam he's got to be a big feather in his

cab well if he lived to wear it well would you care what well i'm that's not funny no

i meant is sam something special to you is there anyone special i don't know not really not sam k

you he's a sure looking guy he's star athlete high school in college fighter pilot so were you caught

all those things oh no not really and we always had the house on the hill of course and we have

that social thing but well sam kaden is old man well we seem to be at the center of things some

well i just want what happened that's all i mean sam came back here you never left no

i am still here i mean i was homecoming queen and all and it's a joke to think i

might end my day behind the switchboard at the madrid hotel that is a terrible waste

i mean it's really ridiculous when you think about it but still i've been there for for a couple of

months now taking room service orders and uh good morning sir this is your wake-up call it's 7 a.m

you know i've got some things to do this afternoon but uh

are you free for dinner tonight well yeah sure i mean i can change things around you know

you think you'll be home oh about 6 30. got the duty roster set yeah murray signs off the desk

about four o'clock rodriguez works the counter tonight he'll likely drop larry off first okay

yo come in

that's a great bunch of deputies to get out there rudy and arlo and rodriguez rodriguez

what's he doing here this early he said something about being worried about larry

did you know that he's ernie rodriguez's brother yeah why

do you remember when i was in high school my old man had that role faded yeah

ernie and i took that thing flat out down sand canyon look do you mind if we uh take this up

for dinner maybe because i got a lot right you know i understand it was not dead for dinner but

uh first thing tomorrow right um jenny told me about that um that's uh that's a bad scene yeah

yeah it is and i'm trying to keep it from getting any worse um tell me just between us too

what's it like i mean you got a joker out there with a gun

in his hand looking for you it's just you and him what's it like

are you scared well that's a deputy's life court and it's mine

is trying to beat a murder rap by killing three men

yeah yeah i'm scared okay yeah hold it now i can remember a couple of times

in korea you were pretty scared yeah well that's different now that no no no no no no

that's the kind of scared you get when you're excited you know for kicks that's a kick sure

like like you're smuggling stuff in the tangier that was for kids come on i'm putting it on don't

you remember it's me curt vernon rich kid wait for kids look i remember but you're not a kid anymore

sam what do you want from me i mean you were always a solid man you were

practice tomorrow uh breakfast breakfast uh

let me call you will you i'll let you know huh well i'll have coffee while the deputy not larry

i don't want larry to leave the office sam would i lost up your routine would i

where are you going penny rodriguez called in sick he's got the stomach flu or something can't

make his shift so i said i'd cover the desk until pete come back from las venus

any sand caves in capital city besides how we can use the ot

right i picked myself some hatching eggs you left in the fridge wasn't bad either

larry uh cleo called and uh she asked what well i said that we'd come by on saturday

we can do that no that's fine you know i like cleo and harry too okay i gotta go see you now

unit 4 madrid central

request a rowing 1029 on california 599 ida henry adam red 71 sedan 10 4 4 5 9 9 ida henry adams

what's your 10 20 unit 4 walker lake road and state 16.

hi larry

madrid central to unit 4.

larry are you on patrol hi mr vernon kind of uh taking up a lot of road there weren't you

so

i'm gonna get a good cast my tire looks like

okay show you something let's get a notching on that thing could have been a piece of glass

i suppose i know it's too sharp too clean you mean like it was deliberately cut yeah

hey what's with this guy killing on a public highway in the middle of the day

using a stolen red car and now this might as well left a trail of breadcrumbs

you suppose he's setting us up for something hey rudy did you check the road service between

here and highway 16 yeah fresh skid marks on both sides of the road both shoulders

looks like a crossword from one side or the other at high speed let me see that again

oh that's how he hooked larry he stages so it looked like a drunken driver larry took after

him like he should and you want me to get on the horn and lay down at 10.72 no you won't pick up

anything at a roadblock you can bet he's already ditched the car makes sense if he had everything

else planned out he sure would have figured out what to do with that car hey you guys come here

finish up there

you know something i wonder if he meant us to know that he was someone larry knew

you saying larry knew the problem yeah rudy how would you approach a possible stolen car

saying my beads follow you show me well sir in this case here we're just one subject

that's it larry's gun was still strapped down

larry was a first-rate officer he didn't make these mistakes unless he recognized the driver

you know whoever planned this thing had larry all figured out just

you know just what he'd do and then what we do i wonder how much he does know about us

have a table

oh i'll have a waitress right over here yeah right away enjoy you listen cord if you want

to dance oh no no later we came to talk and get re-acquainted martini fine do martinez please

now tell me about flynn donahue according it's not a very interesting story

i wasn't sure you knew about him know about him listen a guy goes with a girl

for three years she helps marry somebody else without even writing him a letter

people uh let him know even in korea listen court i felt as hemmed in by this town as you did

i didn't marry flynn until i heard you signed on for another tour with the naval air corps

oh yeah and then you couldn't wait to marry your cowboy oh come on cowhan donna he was no cowhand

he was 17th money winner in the rodeo circuit in 1956 and we traveled we went to california and

madison square garden and calgary and canada and bucketville and boise what is stuff put on you

don't care about flynn donna you and you putting me through all this how are you jimmy uh excuse me

listen i got the plane again coming sunday a week so uh give me a call please

what plan i talk about uh uh just a company fleeing i i i fly a company plane for oil

company court it's not important and you're flying the plane where well just flying out there later

pick up a new drill bit he's had a couple of drinks let it go and you uh intend to

take this lady with you oh sure don't you hey look at that guy come on never never embarrass

a lady like that this is a lady of quality dignity and repute never never presumed buddy

chin up

smile smile

and this is the bullet that capital city pd sent it was taken from bob maxwell

and the second one is the expended bullet that killed larry

i've never seen two bullets quite like these this first one is three grains heavier

and yet they're both full jacketed 22 longs olive oil you ever see a carpet jacket in hollow point

before no not hollow point we used full jacketed 22s during the war they were issued for survival

rifles that's right to conform to the geneva convention but they weren't hollow point you

couldn't get hollow point over the counter i'd say that these cartridges came from a military depot

you want a flying gas on these year bullets i'd say they'd been monkeyed with our fella took this

gi ammunition and drilled the head so they flatten out on impact judging the weight of the bullets

he board one of them out more than the other for higher ballistics coefficiency i think ballistics

coefficiency you mean for better flight don't you more accuracy yeah you could say that change then

why didn't you say it a couple years in college these kids can't even speak english no hold on

wait now what you're trying to say is the gunman used two bullets one was heavier than the other

right right the first one that's correct with a 41 grain bullet you see it was a longer shot that

killed maxwell so it had to be more accurate when he shot larry he drilled a hole in the

nose of the bullet he made it lighter and 38 grains could increase the flattening upon impact

here's more effective in close-up see the lands and the grooves and the bearing surface

tells us that the barrel was a seven right twist specialized cartridge specialized gun

we've been through the books too the only weapon with the seven ride is a russian 22 automatic made

for international rapid fire competition you know on top of that he used the silencer right

well that's it beginning to see things now i want to see but now that we're up against somebody that

knows what he's doing a pro am i going to be able to talk to you in the state inside

okay joni i'll tell him the attorney general's on the phone for you okay thanks pete

so

yeah clean why what's the matter you're trying

to keep me out of madrid look the grand jury doesn't convene until

yeah okay

oh jj they want me back in capital city

brian good thing yeah well there's one thing you can do for me though when i'm gone why

check county record and see if court vernon still holds title to any land in madrid county right

you're sure this is the phrase wow talk about the sticks oh well we can't all have a house on

the hill oh no no that's not what i meant i i find this very interesting tell me darling what is that

highway that on the foot of the hill my camera's throwing the camera's flowed where does it go

well you've made it perfectly clear that your big day tomorrow knocks out any chance

for a cup of coffee no i've just changed my mind i think uh i think this is just fine

as you live and breathe

yeah you don't look too well

now you just you just don't don't look too good

must be rough on the outside especially when you got a long memory then you got to pay taxes and

you look tired yeah you look tired in that courtroom today getting enough sleep

you know killing larry greer is gonna cost you morel is that right

yes that's right what are they gonna do strap me in the chair tighter use more electricity

they're smart enough to know that you're boy in front of the courthouse the deputy you

you're all freebies you don't cost me anything i gotta go for the whole rule or cash in right

now we both know you take that stand i've had it

you don't show i'm back on the street

what about his information problem he's clammed up is it turning i guess

okay let's give it a try keep your eyes open well eddie how do you feel

i feel rotten how should i feel i understand you wanted to talk to me well i changed my mind

i see all right that's up to you oh did your attorney give you the uh bottom line on this

charge possession so what no not just possession possession for purposes of sale pushing yeah

that's right pushing and you're not a first-timer this will be 10 years to life no possibility for

parole for seven years hey he didn't tell me that we're telling you that now eddie what

it could be reduced to a misdemeanor possession couldn't it oh yes i'm sure the district attorney

could reduce the charge if you wanted to well if you asked him for a reduction he'd

give it why should i do that because i can't because i can't go back to prison that's why

i walk into gifford's villain i'm a dead man misdemeanor possession is a is a county jail

stretch that should have occurred to you before you went back to dealing look you

want to work out some kind of a trader don't you no trade if you want to tell me something fine

but no guarantee well this is worth plenty to you you can at least nick granger

what about him

well

he's a big man right top drawer syndicate yeah

nick granger doesn't operate in madrid he was put out to pasture years ago well he lives here

doesn't he what's the point the point is i'm offering you the scoop on his obituary

you could at least talk to ross look one word from you to the d.a and uh

can't you at least give me a maybe

okay so i'll take my chances

it's a hit nick granger in the whole family

i hit a wipeout when i don't know who's doing it a couple of mechanics from chicago names

uh i don't know how do you know about it it's way out of your league look this is as far as

you get on one ticket and listen if this gets out i'm in trouble you gotta protect me yeah

oh arlo remind me i've got to protect him

chicago that means we have to cover all flights from the east trains and buses

i set up the duty roster i don't know who would ever want to hit nick ranger anyway

he never even comes out of that big old fortress is that's a gang war vendetta i

don't know i don't have to explain it i just have to stop it sam you know what i'd like to do well

stay clear of it maybe they'll cancel each other out rudy yes sir i know the

drill you check the training bus schedules i'll cover the airport okay let's get to it

it's worth getting yourself caught in a big syndicate squeeze

stephanie's back stephanie granger since when

some sort of a shock to find out your daddy's behind all the big rackets on the east coast

under the seat and they gave her a pretty bad time when she offered to put in the locker

any light on them or working on it checking cabin car in the office okay stay with him right

assign men to the area but you can't make a move until there's overt evidence of a crime right

is that the word ben overt that's the word so see you don't have to quote the law to us i gotta hand

it to you you've been trying to boot me out of madrid county ever since i bought this place

about this friend of yours steffy you know when we got those five guard dogs sam here

hit us with some cockamamie ordinance against more than three animals on residential property

harris what else nick i believe our source and i won't have a bloodbath here in madrid

even yours and what is your source sheriff i suggest you move into town until we check this out

then i'll take the gun it's imagine mr crawford have you ever used one before i can handle it

is there anything else you need oh we have everything we need mr crawford until later then

no no i'm not mad because of that i'm mad because you bought a story that's all

you don't think it was the truth come on stuffy that cop doesn't care what happens to me you you

he cares what happens to cade's got his own ideas of right wrong i got mine he can't stand me and i

want no part of him i know him nick he wouldn't lie ah he wouldn't wouldn't he huh listen you

don't remember this baby you were off in college somewheres but when your mom and i moved into this

bird sam kade was on my doorstep while we were still unpacking he beat the welcome wagon here

he wanted to know my intentions intentions i told him i didn't want to marry the place i just

wanted to live here he told me what happened that day he tried to bribe him that's a lie

boy the way some people twist everything you say here's what i said to him i said i like the

community i've got no ties with the organization anymore i just want to live a quiet life with

my family that's what you said that's what i said and i said something else i said i want

to do something civic you know for the place like uh donate to the local hospital the law

officers retirement fund i could have mentioned that and then i asked him for his suggestion

i spent a couple of fortunes making a lady out of you so i can't repeat his suggestion

you've always been a very amusing man nick when it suited you

when you wanted something or were trying to get off of a subject that bothered you

i want to finish talking about this assassination or whatever sam may not

like you but he wouldn't say something like that unless he believed it so maybe he believes it

and maybe he's trying to get rid of me maybe just maybe he's trying to make points with you

for a smart man nick you don't understand your daughter at all you haven't got the first idea

of how it was between sam and me do you um i know you saw him sometimes sure so

i saw him a lot

sam cade is possibly the best thing that ever happened to me so yeah thing for him he got over

no i didn't

he cared for me too but he let me go

sam never told me the uh the entire truth about you nick

i uh really wasn't ready to believe it then he let me find that out for myself a few years later

sam walked away from our relationship you wanna know why

you're gonna tell me anyway so go ahead

because he knew you better than i did he knew that if he became involved with me you would

use it come on steffy you would have you used to joke about what a natural madrid county was

for a nice little operation the only thing that stopped that nice little operation was sam kade

if you could have somehow gotten to him my own daughter come off it stuffy what i use you today

i know you nick i know what you were what i'm not sure of is what you are now

what's up what was that i don't know some sort of power failure you think power failure

on things like that

oh what's the word hi i came right back as soon as

the city went dark they think it's a switching station at clearwater soon

county's blacked out how soon can power be restored they have no idea sam yeah

little lady caught in the elevator over the current building alone well not exactly she's

pregnant going into labor they think anyone able to reach her we'll be yelling down the

elevator shaft maintenance man's working on it but starts going to beat him out sure you

better get over there and see what you can do huh i got a feeling that ain't going to be much

have an ambulance standby sam the power people are on the phone they say there's been an explosion

over at the clearwater station and it may take six to uh eight hours or even more to get fixed

yes yes sam you're expecting a plasma delivery therefore they need an escort

okay get moving sam is mr burton from the bank don't tell me i can guess whole surveillance

system is off he's scared stiff he wonders if you have any information this might be a setup

shut up he thinks maybe somebody's trying to knock over the bank

hang on mr burton we'll send someone right over

hold it arlo got a clear line yet right away all right get me the granger house the private line

yes sir what's up i'm going out to the granger house arlo you better take over for me here

you know i'm putting a couple of loose ends together possible hit on granger and the first

blackout we've had here in five years i see what you mean is this something you ought to

handle yourself well it turns out to be more than just a hunch i'll call you okay thanks

stephanie sam we're blacked out the main gates opened i'm frightened

all right now look i want you to lock everything pull the drapes don't let any light show i'll

get there as soon as i can yes thank you i don't care what you say get some of the boys out here

hey i didn't call you i got people coming in i don't need police

look you may need all the help you can get i'll come on level with me nick

i want to know what to expect i don't know any more about this than you do you know plenty about

it now are you moving back into the rackets of course now why because the man who took over your

organization goes to prison tomorrow on a tax evasion charge that's why that's not my problem

vinnie cramer's supposed to move up in the family take over now what has cramer got to do with

nick granger nothing unless nick is planning a comeback and the hit would make sense wouldn't it

that's ridiculous if it is vinnie what men would he send i have to know it's not true is it nick

oh come on look if you do know you better tell me this is your last chance

if you do tell me i can stop it look nick has nothing to do with the organization tell him nick

like i said i'm out of it

well i'll just have to handle it as best i can

sundown let me speak to arlo

arlo no no not yet arlo that doesn't

your line was just cut

okay over there

so

i get upstairs i'll cover the ground floor

two fragmentations i'll work my way downstairs we'll join up in the foyer

(Dramatic Music)

you stay here with stephanie

nick you promised me you were out of it

i told you what you wanted to hear i've got to do what i do best steffy

this door lock on the inside yes yes it does

stay here until i tell you to come out and keep it locked certainly

stevie i didn't mean for this to happen i wouldn't let you come back

so

so

(Dramatic Music)

earl i guess that takes care of the local law

(Dramatic Music)

nick yeah it's cade coming in okay

all right i got one of them how many more can i expect

what does that one look like young college type kid yeah

would be two of them tanner and green the best in the business

somebody get hurt no not really it's from men's hand

what about his hand he just scratched it i put some antiseptic on it

you say there's two of them

so long nick

(Dramatic Music)

well you're just not good at loose ends ben your gunman is still alive benny

benny was in on it yes carla ardmore was our source ben killed her

he meant to be the survivor the only survivor nick

then you nick

the noon flight nick will probably close up the house we'll go back east you'll be rid

of the grangers well i don't want to get rid of all the grangers no

you going with him

you know i asked you once not to judge me i think i better explain now why

my father's doctor called me in london about a month ago and he told me to decide for myself

whether or not i wanted to come back but that nick only had a few weeks to live

so i came he didn't know about it nobody did

so the terribly ironic part is they were killing a dead man

what does he know now yes i told him last night he didn't say a word he just

sat there all night this morning here he gave me those ledges to give to you

nick said he didn't want to go out or wing anyone you any kramer

he said you'd know what to do with those

how about you stephanie are you still a girl on the run sort of oh i had thought about coming back

to madrid with four or five cats and dogs to see if the sheriff was still enforcing the municipal

code oh he is and you'd be on my doorstep before the milkman is that a warning no it's a promise

goodbye sam
