You ain't gonna take me in,
copper, not alive, you ain't.

Don't sh**t. He's only a boy!

Okay, Harry, cut.
What was that?

Some type of Saturday
morning crime show?

Pete and Ray.

More like "The Late Late
Late Show." Jimmy Cagney.

Hey, right on. Not bad, copper.

We're connoisseurs.

That's how we won

the traffic safety contest.

More like a pair of monsters.

Look, you guys,
do you mind if I just

get the interview
on camera, okay?

Sure thing, Ms. Blake.

- Sure thing, Ms. Blake.

- Oh, sure thing, Ms. Blake.

Good morning, this is
Patricia Blake, News Feature One

bringing to you
another in-depth report

of one team of California
Highway Patrolmen.

Ponch, Jon, what is
your assignment today?

Oh, it's right here. This is
Ray Cerina and Pete Costello.

Yeah. The boys have won an essay
contest on traffic safety.

They're going to receive
certificates of excellence

from Judge Armeda and they're
going to get a look at

the courts and how they
operate from the inside.

- Solkin, Dale.
- Yep.

Bickel, Lloyd.

Oh, oh, that's me.

- Follow me, gentlemen.

You've been arrested, remember?

You're going to court.
It's your preliminary hearing.

Let's move it.

Well, that's it
till we go inside.

Alright, shall I
gather up the kids?

Oh, no. They're alright.

- We have a few minutes.
- Oh, alright.

All this trouble
over dealing in grass?

And grand theft auto.

We didn't steal
that car, officer.

Let's go.

We just borrowed it,
that's all.

- Hmm.

We left a note for
this guy and everything.

- Nice note.
- Yeah.

I'll bet you Judge Hamlin
will just fall

right off the bench.
He'll love that story.

Just trying to
intimidate us, ain't you?

No. I'm trying to deliver
you, so let's move.

- I want a drink of water.
- It's time for court.

Why can't I have
a drink of water?

I said it's time for court.

It's his right to have
a drink of water.

- It is in the constitution.
- That's right.

You want me to put
the cuffs on both of you?

This here officer's
violating this man's rights!

My gosh.

Well, my big sister loved
me, but, uh, I tell you

if they would have told
her to squire me around

like you're doing for Pete

I think she would have
left Wyoming for good.

Oh, I'll bet you're just as
lovable to her as Pete is to me.

Yeah, well, as a matter of fact

I thought so. Of course..

Hey, listen, what a kid
brother thinks is funny

can sometimes give
a big sister fits, huh?

- They're so big.
- Big.

- Oh, yeah.

Put on the helmet.

Now you're a big
motorcycle man.

- Right. Right.
- Macho man.

- Bet these go fast.
- Bet you they do.

- Yeah, okay.

Now, we're going
to put this on you

and then you don't have
to yell at anybody. Alright?

Okay.

Hey, grab him before
he hits the gear shift!

- Hey, let me go.
- Come on, get off there.

- Come on now, slow down.
- Pete, you should know better.

- And you, too, Ray.
- Alright, now.

You two characters.

- I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry.

Okay. I'm gonna make
it simple for you.

We're due in the judge's
chambers in ten minutes.

For ten minutes,
you say nothing

you do nothing,
you try nothing.

You hear that?

Hey, just behave. Is that clear?

- Yes, sir.
- Yes, ma'am.

Okay, fellas, I
want to talk to you.

If our reporter
got that on film

I don't think we
looked very good.

Oh, yeah? Who can look good
escorting those two kids?

And Getraer said this was
going to be a cushy assignment.

"You'll enjoy it,"
he said.

Really, but once
we get them inside

I mean, what can we do?

What, The Blob
and Godzilla?

They could start
World w*r III, man.

So from here, we
go into the chambers

and then into the courtroom

of superior court judge
Albert Armeda.

Okay, cut.

Thank you, Harry.

Pete never means any harm,
but when he and Ray are together

they have so much
energy to expend.

Uh, he couldn't have
ridden the motorcycle

but he could have got hurt.
Both of them could have.

Hey, guys, it's time
to go in and see the judge.

Pete! Ray!

'Boys! Come on,
boys! Where are you?'

Hey, a bar!

Champagne,please, Peter.

Yes. Right away, sir.

Keys.

Here, try it, just once.

I'll bet you can't
even hear the engine.

'Boys!'

Peter! Raymond!

Come on, fellas, where are you?

'Peter! Raymond! Come on!'

- I don't know.

But the engine
is running.

Pete Costello, Raymond!
You two sound off right now!

- Keep cool.
- 'Okay.'

Look important.

Pete! Ray!

There they go in that car!

Just wait right
here, alright?

The license plate,
it said Flagon.

I know, I know,
I'll send another unit.

I can't believe it.

- I got you.
- Knock it off, Lloyd.

Let them go.
The doors are locked.

I'm going to let you guys go!

Grand theft auto, kidnapping

'as*ault. You guys
are in heavy trouble.'

Those two CHiPs
know you took us.

You better let us out.

Yeah, well, if they know..

...how come they're
not chasing us, huh?

Now, look. Look.
There are no cops there.

They better not stop us.
'Cause we got you.

'You're our
insurance, understand?'

Hey, uh, kid, uh,
what is your dad?

Well, he's some kinda
big sh*t or something, huh?

'What is he, a judge?'

- My dad's an engineer.
- This isn't the car.

Yeah, well, you just
stay put and stay quiet.

'We're not going to hurt
you, so don't be scared.'

We're not scared.

Why are you guys on the lam?

Well, we came into town,
and we were broke

and we started dealing
in some grass and--

Put a cork in it, Lloyd.

No, no, we're-we're innocent,
really. Uh, what's your plan?

Well, we're going
to get out of LA.

Shouldn't have come
here in the first place.

15-Mary 3 and 4 maintaining
visual contact with suspect.

'15-Mary 4, 10-4.'

'Don't know yet
whether this is a 2-0-7'

'or a practical joke.'

'Have all units'

switch to blue
channel two

and keep it on
clearance until

this thing
is resolved.

No hot pursuit.

We don't wanna push
the situation into panic.

'Yeah. Figure
we'll head up North.'

After that, once we're
over the border into Canada

we can unload this for a bundle.

Man, man,
that-that's the saddest

getaway plan
I've ever heard.

Me too. For openers, do you
guys know what freeway to take?

We'll figure it out.

Yeah. Yeah. We'll get a map.

On the freeway?

Look, take
the interchange up ahead

and get off at
the Santa Monica freeway.

Go West until you
hit the San Diego.

- We live here, mister.

Pete and I wrote
an essay on the freeway.

We studied 'em. We know.

Dale, go up to the interchange,
and make a--

'I heard 'em. I heard 'em.'

Just stay loose, okay?

It's a terrific story.

I'll let you know
a location for the camera crew

as soon as I can.

I know Jon's right.

Kid brothers
do crazy things.

But this is too far
out, even for Pete.

I just can't
believe it's a joke.

We see a lot of unusual
situations, Ms. Costello.

I made some creative notes on
an interesting one last month.

See, I do
a little writing.

Grossman!

Huh?

Lieutenant, take
care of Ms. Costello.

- Make sure somebody's with her.
- Right, sarge.

'15-Mary 3 and 4'

'suspect vehicle now
on the transition road'

'to the westbound Santa Monica.'

15-Mary 3 and 4

maintaining visual contact
with suspect vehicle.

15-Mary 3 and 4

2 WMA 11-500 suspects

att*cked deputy at
the courthouse and escaped.

'Try to determine
conditions in that'

'vehicle without
igniting anyone.'

This is a 2-0-7 situation.

Regard the juveniles as hostages

in danger.

No, Pat! No!
Stay back!

'Stay back!'

Pat, get back!

If they see we're following
they might hurt the kids!

Get back!

How much do you think
one of these jobbies cost?

Sixty two thousand.

No kidding, huh?

I bet it comes loaded.

Radio, air conditioning,
everything.

Hey, Lloyd, I got to go.

You got to what?

Not until Canada, kid.

That's over 2,000 miles.

I mean it. I don't feel good.

Dale, he don't feel good--

'I heard him. I heard him.'

- He's in pain.
- I'm sick.

Shut up.

Y-you got to stop
for gas sometime.

We'll buy gas if you stop.

Hey, Dale, hey, that's right.
We don't have any money.

How much you got on you, kid?

You stop first.

Five bucks.

Just passed
Henson Road off-ramp.

Still in visual contact.

Nothing unusual.
We can move in any time.

10-4, Mary 4.

We're monitoring all
the off-ramps ahead of you.

Stay close enough
to protect those kids.

S-4, this is Mary 3.

Can you form a rolling
block ahead of us?

How's the traffic flow?

Uh, moderate. Slowing down.

I think we can, uh, grab up
on the rolls and surprise them.

10-4, Jon.

'We'll run a rolling brake'

'as soon as I can get
a unit in position.'

15-Mary 3 and 4,
I'm running a traffic brake

ahead of you West of Robertson.

10-4, 7-Adam.
We're moving in.

All units, got caught
up to the rolling block

westbound Santa Monica.

Back up, move in.
We'll make the stop.

Jon, wrong car.

'All units, this is Mary 3.
This is the wrong Rolls.'

- 'They must have turned off.'
- 7-Adam, release your traffic.

10-4.

Come on, let's go.

You okay, Pete?

I-I'm still a little
weak from my illness.

Get in the car.

Senor, yo no comprendo.

All units, 7-Charles
I had the black Rolls-Royce

license Frank-Lincoln-
Adam-George-Ocean-Nora

departing a service station

Henson and Mill road.

'Uh, I got jammed up,
and I lost 'em.'

'He re-entered the freeway,
Mill Road interchange'

'direction unknown.'

10-4, 7-Charles.

Excuse me, have you
seen a black Rolls

with Flagon license plates?

It's your move.

He said they were here, but, uh

that's all he knows.

The kids left this "4-0-5 N."
San Diego freeway North.

S-4, this is Mary 3.
The kids left a note.

They're northbound
on the 4-0-5 freeway.

'We'll be following it up.'

10-4, Mary 3.

I'll back you
up with Mary 5.

'All units, 15-S-4, BOL
the black Rolls-Royce.'

'License Flagon'

'northbound 4-0-5.'

'Report it, but stay clear.'

'Repeat, stay clear.'

Hey, Jon, I can
get ahead of him

and fake a breakdown in
front of him and stop him.

Yeah, or have,
uh, two tons of

Rolls-Royce run
over your motor.

I'm going to borrow this
car. You tell Getraer.

I got to be out of my tree.

I think he has a good idea.

Hey, listen,
mister, uh

how about..

...forty bucks?

- No.
- Yes.

I said, no!

Well, he said, yes,
so just do it and save time.

Why, so that you can
make a better story?

I'm just doing my job.

I could take the car.

Now you don't have to.

♪ Play it again for me

♪ That sweet haunting melody

♪ Those bittersweet words
that remind me of love ♪

♪ Long ago ♪

Hey, look.
Look, Dink.

'Dig this boat
ahead of us, man.'

That is my main
fantasy, man

a fat, sassy
Rolls like that.

Whoo!

Lloyd, cops don't do that.

You're right.

Some kids in a van.

Help!

Hey, brutal boat, man.

- Help!
- Help!

- Kidnapped!
- We're being kidnapped!

Kidnapped! Help!

- Ha ha ha.
- Hey, dig these kids.

- 'Help!'
- 'Kidnapped!'

Kidnapped!

- 'Kidnapped!'
- 'Help!'

- Help! Kidnapped!
- Kidnapped!

- Help!
- Get over here! Get..

Help!

Oggie, could
they be serious?

I think that we ought
to report this, man.

Hang close, man. It's a gas.

I told you guys to sit down!

'You guys shut up!
And get down!'

Those guys give us any flak

'I'm telling you
right now, kids'

'you're in trouble for sure.'

Yeah. You kids are
gonna be in trouble.

We heard him.

15-Mary-3. I got them.

A cop, Oggie, right behind us.

Hey, come here! Kidnap! Kidnap!

The little boys
up there kidnapped!

He says, no.

What is he, off-duty
or something?

Hey, kidnapped!
Kidnapped! Rolls-Royce!

- Nothing!

Oh, brother.

- Kidnapping, man!
- Kidnapping!

- Rolls-Royce!
- Rolls-Royce, up ahead!

'Dale, listen, they're
still back there.'

I know it.
I hear 'em. I hear 'em.

It's a cop.

Really, it's a cop, Dale.

Stay down.

Get out of here!

Kidnapping in the car!

Pull it over!

Oh, man, he wants
us to pull over.

Pull it over right now!

It's the van. Dale. It's them.

'Those kids are really going
to get reamed now. Ha ha.'

Will you turn
off the radio?

Hey, man, that Rolls-Royce

with the Flagon plates.

Hey, cut the horn,
would you, please?

It's stuck, man.

Look, we got
the kidnap covered.

Now, just be on your way

and stay away from
the Rolls, huh?

Oh, and, uh,
thanks for your help.

Big deal.

That was Ponch
that just passed.

I know.

Grossie, you back up Jon

five seconds behind. We'll try
another rolling traffic block.

Hey, I told you
kids to stay down.

U-u-uh, stop-stop
pushing us around.

We just wanted
to see where we are.

Okay, okay, I just don't wanna

hurt you, kid. You okay?

Look, we can't squish down
here all the way to Canada.

'Lloyd, put some
music on the radio.'

What kind of music
do you like, kids?

Country western, punk rock?

Beethoven.

What?

The century on ramp will
put me a mile ahead of them.

10-4, 7-Charles.

Notify me when
you're in position.

'15-S-4 LA, helicopter H-8'

'is available now
to join you on 10.'

10-4, OA, send him on.

I ain't never figured
you'd get static in a Rolls.

Ah, we're out of range.
Get another station.

I figured on a rig like this
that you could pick up stuff

from as far away
as, uh, all over.

'A black Rolls-Royce.'

'
'

- Get it back. Get it back.
- Whoa.

'Frank-Lincoln-Adam-
George-Ocean-Nora.'

- 'License Flagon. Repeat..'

- 'License Flagon.'
- I think it's the cops.

'All units watch
for helicopter H-8'

'approaching from Southwest.'

Helicopters!

- Alright!
- They know about us, Dale.

Shut up.

They-they got
a helicopter after us.

Shut up, I said.
Everybody, shut up!

Dale, we better get out of here.
Helicopters see everything.

Grab ahold of
something and hang on!

All units, I think they made us.

All units, Mary-3..

...black Rolls' off the freeway

and believed headed east.

Come on, now. Let's get
back in our cars, please.

'Move this Volkswagen out.
Come on, now.'

'Let's get the traffic
moving! Come on!'

'Come on. Let's go.'

'Come on.'

Come on.

Hey, I think we're safe.

'Safe'

A helicopter could
spot this car easy.

Yeah, you're right.

Yeah, they can see
everything, huh?

Everything.

Hold it. I think
I got something.

'Get in the back.'

'And keep those kids quiet.'

Alright, you boys
better behave, huh?

What Oh.

Okay, as long as you
don't hurt my friend.

Way your car's parked,
can't get my Rolls-Royce by.

Hey! What--

Take it easy, pops.

I'm warning you.

Lloyd, bring
on the kids!

Open the door.

Come on. Come on.

Everything's going
to be alright.

Come on.

Grossie, take off.

Conduct a pattern
search of the area.

'Find that Rolls. Observe it.'

'But do not close with it till
we're sure those boys are safe.'

- Please, God.
- Hang in there, Ms. Costello.

Your brothers are
going to be just fine.

Help! Help!

Mister, what
happened to you?

They, they, put
me in the trunk

and took my wagon.

They took my wagon.

Okay. I'm a police officer.

You want to tell me
exactly what happened?

They took my wagon
and locked me in the trunk.

Lloyd, why are you stopping?

He don't know
what's in this car.

The man you stole it
from will tell them.

Shut up!
Go that way.

Hey, Jon, how'd you
find me

Right. What happened?

Well, they put him in the trunk,
and they took his wagon.

'All units, Mary-3,
suspects and hostages'

'now believed to be in
a light blue station wagon'

'left 1200 block
on Carver..'

'Request an 11-85 for
the abandoned Rolls.'

'BOL a light blue
station wagon.'

'Suspects and hostages
are no longer in the..'

Be there in ten minutes.

'Repeat, BOL a light
blue station wagon.'

'Suspects and hostages
are no longer'

'in the Rolls-Royce.'

Mary-4 is still in the Impala.
He's using the horn for ID.

Listen for
"La Cucaracha."

Okay. If you'll wait inside,
we'll be right back.

'Take it easy. It's a cop.'

Where you going?

No! Get out of here!

Hey, man, I'm sorry, man!

Get lost.

My fault back
there, man!

- Get out of here!
- Hey! I'm sorry, man!

I forgot.

I don't mean to bump into you!

Hey, that's..

We mean it.

Sorry! Ha ha ha!

Hey, nice car, man!

Drop dead!

Over there. Let's
follow the horn.

I'm sorry! Ha ha!

Oh, wow, man.
Hey, I'm sorry. I..

My fault, man. I'm sorry.

Look what you did!
We're in a hurry, you yo-yo!

Hey, all kinds of
apologies, guys, man.

My fault, okay?
Listen, I got my keys, man.

Huh
We go get a tow car, huh?

Come with me, huh?
What you say, huh?

Yeah, that's the least
you can do, man.

I'm a police officer.

Alright, step over here.
Put your hands on your head.

Come on, move.

Boy, am I going to get it.

Oh, you're okay.

- Oh, thank God.

Nice going, amigo

but remember, the state
owes me 40 bucks.

Why don't I call you tonight
and we'll discuss it?

Deal.

You were certainly
right about kid brothers.

Ponch said they'd start World
w*r III in about ten minutes.

I guess they did, huh?

Well, those kids were
pretty cool, but I bet you

they'll remember this
for quite a while.

So will we the next
time the sergeant

offers us a cushy assignment.
We'll think about it.

Hey, Poncherello,
don't complain.

You're on overtime.

Ms. Costello, I'm sure
happy those kids are safe.

'I think it'll be a long time'

'before they get into
another strange car.'

Hmm.
