Lincoln X-Ray Ida 483.

One-Adam-12, a


with chains and knives.

♪♪

Yes, siree. There ain't
no place like home.

We're glad you like it.

Too bad I can't do my time here.

Couldn't you
arrange that, Malloy?

I'll see what I can do.

Let's go, Frankie,
it's getting late.

Hey, you're telling me.

Well, if it ain't the Scotchman.

How you doing, Mac?

Hello, Frankie.

Let's see. You're
just about on time.

What'd you arrest him
for now? Purse snatch.

From robbing paperboys
to snatching purses.

Frankie's moving up.

You make it sound
terrible, Reed.

Where'd you get him?

At a bust stop down
on South Broadway.

He grabbed the lady's
handbag just as we cruised by.

Cut up a service alley.

We caught him at the dead end.

Just my luck.

Oh, your luck's not that
bad. How long you been out?



Two whole months.

Yeah. What's your
record, Frankie?

So who keeps score?

Let's go, Frankie.

Hey, what time is it?

Hey, 10 minutes
to 6. I just made it.

Made what?

Supper, man.

You feed supper at 6:00.

More priors than you
can shake a stick at.

When does a guy learn?

You heard what he
said. He likes our chow.

Hey, I almost forgot. You
still okay for tomorrow?

Can't you and Jean think of
anything better to do on your day off?

She's looking forward to it.

She left me a note. "Remind
Malloy about tomorrow."

Okay, but I'll bring the steaks.

No, I'll get 'em.
I'll pick 'em up.

Okay.

All units on all
frequencies stand by.

One-Adam-57 is in pursuit.

All units on all
frequencies stand by.

One-Adam-57 is in pursuit.

One-Adam-57,
what is your location?

Who's in 57? Ferrell?

Yeah, Ferrell and Chavez.

All units, One-Adam-57
is westbound on Temple

approaching Lake.

In pursuit of a '68 Ford sedan.

Blue with white stripe.

California license
Adam David Ocean 159.

Rush hour. Great time
of the day for a pursuit.

Yeah.

Roger, One-Adam-57.

Any other unit in the vicinity
available for intercept, come in.

Roger, One-Adam-9 handle.

One-Adam-57, come in.

Who's in 9? I don't know.

One-Adam-9, roger.

All units, One-Adam-9 reports
One-Adam 57 and suspect have TA'd.

Any supervisor unit in the vicinity
respond. Temple and Alvarado.

Officers injured,
ambulance in route.

Tell Lieutenant I'll be
at Temple and Alvarado.

Yeah.

You guys sure took your time.

Two bits I missed
chow. What do you bet?

This way, Frankie.

Paperwork.

Must be at least half past 6.

Come on.

Chavez married? Yeah.

So's, uh, Ferrell.
Couple kids apiece.

Tough luck.

They're both still in emergency,

and the suspect winds
up with minor bruises.

He slams into two parked
cars and hits Chavez and Ferrell,

ends up with a bump on his head.

How do you figure?

You don't.

What's it look like
out there, Mac?

Like a pile of steel spaghetti.

When did you leave the hospital?

Just now.

Ferrell and Chavez are
both on the critical list.

Yeah, we know. Did
you talk to their wives?

Yeah, at the hospital.

Uh, this barbeque tomorrow,
maybe we should call it off, huh?

I don't know.

Jean's counting on it.

She says it's gonna
be a rare occasion.

Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.

Pete, I was beginning to worry.

Hi, Jean. I'm sorry I'm late,

but I had to make a
stop on the way over.

Oh, you're right on time.
Here, let me take that.

Where's the boss?

Big Jim or little Jim?

The 6-footer.

He's out in the garage.
He's uh, got a new project.

Here, let me take that.

Make yourself comfortable.

Little Jimmy's
sleeping like an angel.

Hello. I'm Ruth Bannister.

Pete Malloy.

Good. Now you two get
acquainted while I go to work.

Can I help you?

No, ma'am, just relax and enjoy.

That's life, full of surprises.

Who's complaining?

Jim calls me a predatory animal.

Well, when you're not being
predatory, what do you do?

I work for a firm that
sells digital computers.

I'm a computer programmer.

You could have
fooled me. Thank you.

And you don't look
like a cop either.

Pete, the steaks
look scrumptious.

Hey, maybe I better go
get another one, huh?

Oh, heaven's no.

It'll be all Ruth and I can
do to split one between us.

Come on, let's go
out on the patio.

Honey, come on out. Pete's here.

Oh, I forgot the
drinks. Let me get them.

They're in the
refrigerator. Okay.

Hey, Pete. Hi.

Have you heard anything
new on Chavez or Ferrell?

He called the hospital the minute
he got up this morning, Pete.

Oh, I stopped by
there on the way out.

They're both still critical.

The doctors says it
could go either way.

Okay, we've settled that.

Honey.

Look, can we just
forget it for a few hours?

Here we are. Guaranteed
to be wet and cold.

Hey, what's going on here?

Is this a party or a wake?

It's a party, or it will be

if a couple of guys I know

will just remember
they're off duty.

Now why don't you
two guys just relax, huh?

And please, no more
about the accident.

Accident? Somebody you know?

Oh, brother! You're a big help!

Couple guys from our
division cracked up last night.

They were chasing
a hit-and-run suspect.

Hey, uh, what this
new project Jean says

you got going in the garage?

I'm rebuilding a pickup truck.

Come on, I want
you to take a look at it.

Honey, why don't
you fix those coals?

You should see the
steaks that Pete brought.

Now you know the real reason
why we invited him, Ruthie.

Oh, so now I play second
fiddle to a T-bone steak.

Thanks a lot.

Come on. I want
you to look at this.

Excuse me.

I figure if Tim and I can
get this thing together...

Well? He's nice.

That's all? Just nice?

Hey, we just met.

He's a great guy.
You'll really like him.

Here.

Not that I'm even
considering it of course,

but, um, what's it like
being married to a cop?

Why? Should it be different
being married to a policeman?

You know what I mean.

What?

That badge on his
chest makes it different,

and I don't care what you say.

He works crazy hours,

he gets involved in some
wild things, I suppose,

and he's bound to associate

with the real nut
once in a while.

Now are you gonna tell
me that kind of routine

doesn't make any difference?

Well, I'll be the
the first to admit

it's not exactly fun and
games sometimes...

but I'm very happy.

Jean, those people
who were hurt,

are they married?

Yeah, with a total of four kids.

You say you bought it for junk.

Yeah. Great, huh?

If you say so.

In a couple weeks,
you won't recognize it.

I got my eye on a camper
I can pick up for salvage.

I checked it out a
couple days ago with Tim.

That's the kid next door? Yeah.

What he doesn't know about
cars hasn't been invented yet.

He ought to be here in a
minute. I want you to meet him.

Okay.

Uh, what do you think of her?

Are you sure you
want me to tell you?

Uh, not the truck, I mean Ruth.

Oh, she's nice.

I ought to tell you, she's
looking for a husband.

No kidding.

Yeah, I guess they all are, huh?

No. Really?

Just about 99%.

Tim!

Oh. I heard voices.

I thought maybe Tim was here.

Hi, Mrs. Richmond. I'd
like you to meet my partner.

Pete Malloy, this
is Tim's mother.

How do you do? Mr. Malloy.

Has Tim been here, Jim?

Not yet. He said he was
gonna drop by after school.

I know. That was an hour ago.

Well, if I see him, I'll tell
him you're looking for him.

Think they'll ever get
that back together?

I wouldn't wanna bet on it.

Well, I'll say this.

Tim can do it if anyone can.

Am I right, Jim? Yes, ma'am.

I don't know where
he comes by it.

His father can't even
change a light bulb.

Nice meeting you, Mr. Malloy.

Same here, Mrs. Richmond.

Tim's an only child.

She worries her
head off about him.

Hey, these are pretty
good. You got another one?

Yeah. Let's go.

If you're talking about Pete,

I'm afraid he'd need
a little prompting.

Like maybe a hit in the
head with a blunt instrument.

I heard that.

Now look what you've done.

Hey, there's my
buddy. Come here.

Take him, honey.
He's all finished.

Let's see if I can
get a burp going.

There you go.

Come on, try it.

Oh, no thanks, I'll pass.

Oh, hold him,
Pete. He won't bite.

All you have to do is make
sure you support his head.

You sure you know
what you're doing?

Hey, how about that, Jimmy?

The first time your
godfather's ever held you.

Godfather?

We'd consider it an honor, Pete.

We, uh, planned
on telling you today.

Kind of a surprise.

Thanks.

I accept.

He looks real
natural, doesn't he?

He does at that.

Uh, here, you
better take him back.

You got him?

Watch his head.

Okay.

Here. Time for his nap anyway.

Come on, little Jim.

Come on.

Be back in a few minutes.

Come on.

Uh, your glass.
Uh, yeah, thanks.

That's quite a
son you got there.

Someday our
schedules will coincide.

Right now, as it
is, when I'm awake,

he's asleep and vice versa.

Godfather, huh?

Here's to James Reed, Jr.

Cheers.

You, uh, talked to the
hospital on the way out, right?

Yeah, Dr. Klein in
the intensive care unit.

I think I'll give him a call.

Why, Pete?

Well, why what?

There's nothing you
can do, either of you.

Jean worries enough
as it is, I'm sure.

How long have you known Jean?

We went to high school together.

I can't get over
how she's changed.

It happens sometimes.

Oh, don't get me wrong.

I meant it as a compliment.

Frankly, Jean was a
scatterbrain in high school.

Now she's settled and happy.

Worry or no worries,
I don't understand

Because she married a policeman.

To be perfectly truthful, yes.

Okay, now we have the next
four hours all to ourselves.

Where's Jim? He went
out to make a phone call.

The hospital I suppose.

Well, I got through. No change.

Okay, worrywart, now
can we have our party?

Okay, but the coals need
about 15 more minutes.

And I promise you, no more shop.

Let me in, Jim!

Come on.

Who is it? Tim Richmond.
He lives next door.

Come on!

Hey, what's the matter, Tim?

Oh, there you are.

Hey, how you doing,
old policeman buddy?

I've been looking for you, man.

He's gonna get me.
He's gonna get me.

Who's gonna get you, Tim?

Think we better get a doctor?

Let's wait a while.

Your neighbor kid
must be quite a swinger.

What happened, Jim? Beats me.

Tim, are you all right?

Come on, let's get
him in the house.

How old is the kid?



He's starting kind
of young, isn't he?

He's not drunk.

You'd never know to look at him.

What is it, then?

Offhand, I'd say he's
been dropping pills.

I feel awful.

Pete.

Tim, I'd like you to meet a
friend of mine, Pete Malloy.

How do you do, sir?

My mother will be
climbing the walls.

Tell her I'm working
in the garage, will ya?

I hear you're quite
a mechanic, Tim.

You're not kidding, man.

You mind if I take
a look at your arms?

What do you want to
look at my arms for?

Why, you don't mind, do you?

Suit yourself.

I better give his
dad a call at work.

You got anything in
your pockets, Tim?

Like what?

Like pills.

Mm-mmm. No pills.

Honest. I don't know
what you're talking about.

Oh, boy. I feel funny.

I better go home.

I ought to go home, shouldn't I?

You stick around awhile.

Your dad's gonna come over here.

Dad, huh?

Yeah.

That's okay, I guess.

Let me see what's in
your pockets, huh, Tim?

Sure.

May I speak with
Mr. Richmond, please?

Mr. Richmond? This is Jim Reed.

I'm fine, sir.

Well, it's about
Tim, Mr. Richmond.

No, sir, he hasn't been hurt,

but I think you better
come over here right away.

No, sir, at my house.

And I think it'd be better
if you don't call your wife.

Yes, sir.

He, uh... He'll be right over.

You're a policeman,
too, aren't you?

He's my partner, Tim.

Oh, boy.

I'm in trouble now, huh?

You, uh, you wanna
tell us what happened?

I was at a party.

Sort of a party that is.

Hi, Mr. Richmond. Jim,
what's this all about?

Tim.

Tim, what's happened?

Hello, Dad.

Tim, have you been drinking?

No, sir, we don't think so.

This is my partner,
Mr. Richmond, Pete Malloy.

Malloy.

Then what is wrong with him?

My guess is pills.
Seconal probably.

Oh, you're out of your mind.

Tim on dr*gs?

They're right, Dad.

I went to a party after school.

I dropped some
pills, Red Devils.

Guy said I probably
wouldn't even feel them.

What's he talking about?

Seconal. It's a barbiturate.

We used to call them Goofballs.

Now they're Red Devils.

Who got you into this, son?

Sorry, Dad.

Come on, Tim. You're in trouble.

You better give
it to us straight.

I never saw the guy before.

He was at the party
passing out pills.

And you took pills from someone
you never saw in your life?

The guy's a friend of Artie's.
That's the only reason I went.

All right, Tim, where
was this party?

Corner of Kling and
Myrtle. A big place.

I don't know the number.

Who was pushing the pills, Tim?

He calls himself Skat or
Skeet, something like that.

You better call Foothill
division. It's their area.

Tell them where the party is.

What happens now?

An officer from Foothill will be
out to take a statement from Tim.

It'll be up to them.

Oh, Tim.

I'm sorry, Dad.

Pete, where's Jim?

In the kitchen on the
phone. What's the matter?

There's somebody in the garage.

Just like I thought.
Jean's seeing things.

Don't be too sure.

You closed this door, remember?

Yeah.

All right, mister, who are you?

Come on, push me around!

Why don't you hit me?

He asked you your name!

What's your name, cop?

Who said we were cops?

I can tell by the smell.

The bloodhound's nose,
mister, I'll give you that.

You're under arrest.

What for? Come
on, tell me what for?

Trespassing and
as*ault for a start.

You and Ruth go check the baby.

You know this guy, Tim?

I'm not sure.

You gonna take me
in? Come on, let's go!

Now, come on, Tim.
Do you know him?

His name is Skat.

I saw him at the party.

Was he the guy with the pills?

Yes, sir. That kid's lying.

I was taking a shortcut
across your yard.

You scared me,
and I lost my head.

He says you supplied pills
for a party this afternoon.

Who you gonna believe,
me or some punk kid?

You gonna empty your
pockets or do you want me to?

Okay.

I blew it.

Well, you would have
found them anyway.

Pockets full of happiness.

Help yourself.

All right!

Please, Jim, just give me
five minutes alone with him.

Do, cop, and I'll
have your badge.

What were you
doing in my garage?

All right. I was
looking for junior here.

After he left the blast,
he was high, man.

Didn't want him walking
around hurting himself.

I'm a solid citizen,
just like you.

You know what I mean?

I care about my friends.

He's lying.

Suppose you tell us the truth.

He was gonna k*ll me.

He was gonna what?

This kid's out of his mind.

I was coming over to help
Jim, Mr. Reed, work on his truck.

Someone told Skat that
Jim, Mr. Reed, was a cop.

Skat got all shook up.

Said he was gonna
find me and k*ll me.

I snuck out and
came right over here.

That kid's lying I tell you!

Where'd you think you
were gonna find him, Skat?

Sleeping in my truck?

Please, Jim, just five minutes.

I'll save the state
a lot of money. No.

I'll call Foothill division
and get them over here.

Sit down.

For you, young man,

the worst is yet to come.

Your mother.

What are you gonna tell her?

Narco.

You people are
really something else.

What do you mean?

Look at him.

A couple of hours ago there
was tragedy all over the place.

I don't think so.

What?

Well, I call it the
opposite of tragedy.

Sergeant Emory
at Foothill division

said their narcotic's
unit has been working

the local high school for months

trying to nail that
Skat character.

He says this is the break
they've been hoping for.

So if you wanna
think about tragedy,

think what might be happening

if Skat was still
out on the streets.

Hmm.

Tim has a good
friend over there.

He's lucky.

Kinda blew your party.

This is my party, right now.

Your friend doesn't seem
to be making out too well.

Yeah, that's because
your partner's hopeless.

You can tell him that for me.

You can't stand a
happy bachelor, can you?

No, they infuriate me.

Hello.

Hey, hi, Sarge.

Yes, sir, right.

Yes, sir, he's right here.

When?

Yes, sir, in about,
uh, 20 minutes.

MacDonald?

Yeah. We, uh, gotta go to work.

Jazz festival out in the West
Valley's getting out of hand.

Well, that's that.

Don't look so happy about it.

No, it was fun, really.

Yeah, a barrel of laughs.

Don't look so sad, honey.
It's not the end of the world.

MacDonald said something else.

He heard from the hospital.

Chavez died.

Good night, Jean.
Thanks for asking me.

Yeah.

I'll see you at the station.

Yeah.

Honey, why don't you
drop me off at the hospital?

Mrs. Chavez will need someone.

Go ahead, Jean. I'll
take care of the baby.

Thanks. I'll get my purse.
