00:28I'll see you next time.
00:59I'll see you next time.
01:29I'll see you next time.
01:30You need a lot more to go on than just the fact that God has a limp.
01:33I know, but that's all we got.
01:34Early 30s has a limp, likes to hold up pawn shops and liquor stores.
01:39Hey, what's this?
01:40What?
01:42R.A., next to our names.
01:44What's that, R.A.?
01:46Ride-along.
01:48Hey, you've got a ride-along tonight.
01:50Him, over there.
01:57Why's he riding with us?
01:58On his authority.
02:00Three guesses, Gillis.
02:01Three guesses.
02:15Three guesses.
02:17I know what you're gonna say.
02:18That's why I was leaving early, so I wouldn't have to listen to you say it.
02:21Uh, Lieutenant, you've got to be kidding about that kid riding along with us.
02:24Oh, of course, Webster.
02:25It's just another one of my fun-loving practical jokes.
02:27Uh, Lieutenant, suppose we get another liquor store or pawn shop hold up tonight.
02:31I mean, we can't have a kid riding in the car when this-
02:33Gillis, come in here.
02:34Webster, inside, please.
02:36No arguments.
02:44Sit down here, Gillis.
02:47Just sit down.
02:47I want to show you something.
02:51Now, what do you see?
02:53I'll tell you what you see.
02:54You see Lieutenant Edward Riker standing on the other side of a desk.
02:58It's important for you to know that somewhere in this department
03:01there is a desk on whose other side I do stand
03:04and listen to orders with which I do disagree.
03:07And then I say, yes, sir, and I carry out those orders.
03:11And this morning I received an order
03:13that says these cockamamie junior police cadets
03:15have ride-along rights in this precinct.
03:17It has worked wonders in other cities,
03:19and public relations feel that it'll work wonders here, too.
03:22I happen to think it is the stupidest order
03:25I have ever received in 23 years of police work.
03:31You will now proceed to implement that order, gentlemen,
03:34without further delay, because that is the word, period.
03:38Queen for a day is over, Gillis.
03:39She can get out of my chair.
03:45They've had junior cadet ride-alongs
03:46at some of the other precincts for almost three years.
03:51Why'd it take you guys so long to catch up?
03:53I guess some of the people around here
03:55aren't too hot on the cadet program, Chad.
03:59Hey, uh...
04:01You think there's any chance
04:02we'll run into that guy
04:03that's been holding up the liquor stores?
04:06There's a possibility.
04:07The last time I was on an RA,
04:09the same guy robbed an all-night liquor store.
04:12And my partner and I,
04:13or the, uh, the officer that I was with,
04:16we went on a two-mile Code 3 run.
04:19Code 3, you know,
04:20that's where the lights and the sirens
04:20are going at the same time.
04:22And we got there two minutes
04:24after the creep split.
04:26Ooh, almost put the gleep on that scrote.
04:29You almost put the what on the what?
04:33Gleep.
04:35Gleeps, um...
04:36It's what a lot of the older officers call handcuffs.
04:43Scroat is for, uh, um...
04:46Scum.
04:53Let's go.
04:54Let's go.
05:21Hey, are you gonna let them get away with that?
05:23It's illegal.
05:259-8-E-N-X.
05:27Why don't we have a four-by?
05:28Give them a warning.
05:30Just a warning.
05:50More than 30.
05:58Where are you guys supposed to be?
06:01We're supposed to be somewhere.
06:04We should be on our way home, officer.
06:07It's not a bad idea.
06:10First, why don't you get rid of the rest of the beer, okay?
06:12How about if we put it in the trunk?
06:15Eric, let's dump them out.
06:16I'm trying to do you a favor
06:17by not issuing you a citation.
06:19I never asked for a favor from any pig.
06:26I'll get the sight book.
06:30May I see your license, please?
06:32Mission 20.
06:40Dispatch, this is Ludlow 9.
06:42Officer down.
06:44Officer in foot pursuit for the yards north of the 200 block of Summit.
06:48All available Ludlow units respond to 200 block Summit.
06:51Code 3.
06:52Officer down.
06:53Officer in foot pursuit.
06:54Repeat code 3.
07:01Dispatch, Ludlow 9.
07:02Officer not down.
07:04Repeat, officer not down.
07:06Officer in foot pursuit from 200 Summit.
07:13Officer down implies officer shot or officer badly hurt.
07:16You would have had a police unit in town rolling on a call like that.
07:32Hey, now, you hear enough trouble already.
07:36Don't make it any worse.
07:40Let's go.
08:08I'll come right to it. I'm disappointed in this report. I find it somewhat less than thorough.
08:15I read Denzel and Olsen's report. I see something about an attack on Officer Gillis with a broom handle.
08:23I read your report. I see no mention of it. I look at the booking sheet, and I see that
08:27you've charged him with misdemeanor joyriding.
08:29There is no mention of an attack on an officer. Now, what is this?
08:33Well, sir, we found out that the car had been taken from his sister's boyfriend, and he meant to return
08:38it, so we booked him on the misdemeanor joyriding.
08:42And we didn't feel he should be charged with a felony that'll be on his record for the rest of
08:46his life just because of a split-second decision to take a swing at me.
08:51All right, I'll go along with that. I would appreciate it in the future if you keep your superiors informed
08:57so that we can inform our superiors about these inconsistent reports.
09:01Has the case gone on to the youth authority, Lieutenant?
09:04Yes. There Shrink interviewed your suspect, Eric Corey, this morning.
09:10He feels that his behavior has been directed against us because of the numerous times he has seen us take
09:16his sister and her various boyfriends off the jail.
09:19He lives with his sister?
09:21She's his legal guardian.
09:25What's the Shrink say?
09:27The Shrink, in his wisdom, has come up with a new idea, an alternative to sending the boy to the
09:32youth authority camp.
09:33A foster home?
09:35Putting him in the police cadet program.
09:37That's the craziest thing I ever heard of in my whole life.
09:40I mean, here, my brother has been in scrape after scrape with you guys.
09:45You want him to enlist?
09:47Well, the scrapes, Miss Corey, have been mostly minor ones.
09:50Because it's our hope that by getting Eric into the program, by letting him see that police officers are not
09:57cartoon heavies, that there won't be any more scrapes.
10:03Look, uh, do you think you could let him off just this time?
10:08I'll try real hard to keep closer tapes on him.
10:10I mean, I've been trying before, but, uh, I've got, I've got this nervous condition.
10:16It's kind of hard to be nervous when you're drunk half the day and asleep the other half.
10:29You think this cadet program's a thing to do?
10:32Let's do it.
10:34Okay, Miss Corey.
10:35You don't need me here anymore, do you?
10:37You see, I've got this person waiting to give me a lift home, and I hate to keep him waiting
10:41any longer than I have to.
10:42No, that's all right. We'll see that Eric gets down to the store that furnishes the program with uniforms, and
10:47I'll be free to go home.
10:48Well, that's great. Thank you.
10:51Isn't that great?
10:54Thank you. All of you.
10:57Um, Eric, I'll have dinner waiting when you get home.
11:01Or, if I'm not home, I'll leave you a couple of bucks on the mantel. You can call out for
11:04pizza or something.
11:07So I have to wear some kind of ding-a-ling uniform, huh?
11:10That's right.
11:12And that's not the only thing you've got to do.
11:16We have haircut regulations in this department.
11:19Officer Gillis, why don't you take Mr. Corey here down to the barber shop?
11:22You do remember where the barber shop is, Officer Gillis?
11:25Yes, sir.
11:27That's quite a memory you've got there.
11:46So what happened? Did they throw him in the slammer?
11:49No.
11:49Um, they said he's got to enroll in this police cadet training program. I didn't understand all of it.
11:57I guess I was too anxious to get back here. I knew you wouldn't want to wait.
11:59Police? What?
12:01The training program. I...
12:04Oh, that's beautiful. That's really beautiful.
12:08I'm knocking off more liquor stores than Carrie Nation, and you tell me your brother's involved in a police cadet
12:13training program.
12:15Jill, look, he doesn't know what we're doing. He can't tell him a thing.
12:18And even if he didn't know, Eric wouldn't say anything.
12:36Nope.
12:38They won't let you wear it like that.
12:43Like that.
12:45That's regulation.
12:47You in this ding-a-ling outfit, too?
12:50Yeah.
12:56Don't you remember?
12:57We met last night.
13:00What are you here for?
13:01Pick up a little side money, just like most of the real cops do.
13:07See, most people feel guilty when they see a cop.
13:10Or anything that even looks like a cop.
13:12Yeah, but you've done this kind of thing before. This is my first time.
13:14All you have...
13:16All you have to do is to tell them that you're a police reserve officer.
13:22Don't say cadet.
13:23What about this?
13:24Don't worry about it. Keep talking and they won't notice it.
13:26Police reserve officer.
13:28Reserve officer, right.
13:29And your partner was observing them at the stop sign...
13:32Running the stop sign?
13:33No, no, no. They did not come to a complete halt at the stop sign around the corner.
13:37They didn't come to a complete halt at the stop sign on the last corner.
13:41Right. And you've got to give them a ticket.
13:43No, say, issuing a citation.
13:45Then what?
13:46Well, then they look and they see how young you are and they offer you five dollars to forget the
13:49whole thing.
13:50And three hours from now, we're a hundred bucks to the good.
14:13I'm sorry, ma'am.
14:14I'm going to have to issue you a citation.
14:16My partner observed that you didn't come to a complete halt at that stop sign back there.
14:20Oh, well, you can't give me a ticket. You're not a policeman.
14:23Uh, police reserve, ma'am. It's a new program. Just started up recently.
14:28Must be very recent.
14:36Are you sure there's not some sort of compromise we could work out on this?
14:40Yeah, I suppose there ought to be.
14:43Uh, it seems a hassle to go through all this just because of our bad luck and your bad luck,
14:48right?
14:48I don't think I understand.
14:50Well, uh, it's our bad luck that we ran that stop sign, like you say,
14:54and, uh, your bad luck that you stopped an off-duty police officer who's about to arrest you now.
14:59Now, you want to give me those toys?
15:02You want to put your hands on the cloud?
15:13You want to drive us in?
15:15I'll sit with him in the back.
15:27What would you do if you were in my place, Mr. Curry?
15:30Wouldn't be in your place.
15:36I guess I'd kick me out. What else can you do?
15:39Suppose I kick you out, and the people upstairs decide that what you've done reflects on the entire program,
15:45and they further decide to pull the plug on the whole thing.
15:48Because that's precisely what I think they will do.
15:50You might be doing a lot of people a big favor if they did fold the thing up.
15:54Now, you listen to me, sonny boy.
15:56You're entitled to your opinion.
15:57I don't share it, nor do most people.
15:59Now, I'm not known as a progressive thinker in this department,
16:02but even I have been told that this police cadet thing has given a sense of belonging to a lot
16:07of kids who need just that,
16:08and it's given a lot of other kids a chance to see police as they really are,
16:12rather than bullies in blue.
16:14Now, if that's true, it's important.
16:16And if it's important, it's more important than punishing you.
16:19So I think you better get out of here right now.
16:25Eric?
16:28Stopping vehicles for moving violations is potentially one of the most dangerous things
16:33a police officer can be called upon to do.
16:35You never know when the guy you stopped may have just robbed a bank
16:39or just dropped enough acid to turn his brains into silly putty.
16:43Now, you get away with it this time.
16:44Don't press your luck.
16:47I won't.
17:08You chicken, you guy.
17:11Be with you in a minute.
17:20Hey, there was, uh...
17:23There was no point in both of us getting caught.
17:30All right.
17:33Take your ring off, at least.
17:55Okay, okay.
17:56Take it up.
17:57Okay.

29:38that's all there is to it
29:39you're a very determined woman moscow
29:41you're right i am
29:42now i don't think you fully appreciate your situation
29:46now we can charge you with receiving stolen goods
29:48it's your first offense
29:49you probably get off with probation
29:51no big deal
29:51but you're also an accomplice to a kidnapping
29:54and the course don't care about first offense in the case of a kidnapping
29:57all they care about is that there is no second offense
30:00and they accomplish that by handing out sentences without possibility of parole
30:04and how old are you miss cory
