00:00.
00:39¶¶
01:23Uh, shouldn't he be open by now? It's almost 6.30.
01:26Oh, you know, Mac, he probably overslept again.
01:28Man, I'm starving.
01:31Look, let's try the cafe down on Bigelow Street.
01:33I heard the owner's an insomniac.
01:48Trust me, my grandfather was one of the great philatelists of all time.
01:53Nice for our side.
02:03Ah, the specialty of the house.
02:08Feast your eyes on this.
02:11So, what about these?
02:16It's the 1942 Mauritania airmail inverted block.
02:23How much are they worth?
02:25More than all the rest put together.
02:29About 17,000 for the four of them.
02:37Why don't we forget about breakfast?
02:39Are you kidding?
02:40You should hear my stomach.
02:42Look, try Mac's place one more time.
02:44It's gotta be open by now.
02:52Hey, let's go.
02:59Wait a minute, wait a minute.
03:01What's the matter?
03:03Those blinds were closed before.
03:06Get a hunch.
03:21Run back.
03:26Run back.
03:28Run.
03:29Run back.
03:46Ludlow 9th, control.
03:47Request code 3 in pursuit of possible 459 at M. Rubin's Stampin' Coin Shop.
03:54Suspect headed north at Sentinel.
03:56Request backup, over.
03:58Ludlow 4, backup Ludlow 9th, in pursuit of possible 459, headed north on Sentinel, over.
04:04Ludlow 4, responding.
04:34All right, Corey, do your thing.
04:52I think we should depart before the cavalry arrives.
04:54Really?
05:09Call the fire department.
05:26Where could they have gone, man?
05:31They've got more action down there than we've got up here, that's for sure.
05:34Yeah, a good life.
05:37Some of us chase tennis balls.
05:40Some of us chase chefs.
05:58The only other thing I can tell you is that the owner of the stamp shop said these thieves are
06:03professionals
06:03because they took the cream of his collection.
06:08A 1942, Mauritania airmail, center inverted, block of four, 1942.
06:15Now, check this thing on the way out, because you never know when or where they're going to show up.
06:19Lieutenant, how much could that go for?
06:21Well, again, according to the owner, if they are sold separately, $550 a piece.
06:27If they remain together as a block of four, with the perforations intact, the ante goes up to $17,500.
06:35You figure one quarter of that on the street, $4,000.
06:39Some heavy postage.
06:40Which brings me to the one thing we do know about this pair.
06:45They have struck five times in this precinct.
06:48Each time it has been clean and fast and the best of the best, be it jewelry, stamps, or coins.
06:54We are dealing with experts in quality.
06:57Gentlemen, the only other thing I can tell you is that they leave no clues and they follow no patterns
07:03of logic.
07:03Except one, maybe.
07:05Would you care to elaborate on that, Officer Webster?
07:08Well, this is the fifth time we thought we had them, and the fifth time that they let us up
07:13a dead end.
07:15It's like they have an escape hatch, a contingency plan going, so that if we get too close...
07:20I have news for you, Officer Webster.
07:22People have been trying to outsmart the police ever since Eve stole the apple.
07:25Do you have any other bright ideas?
07:28No, sir.
07:29All right, that's it. Stick around, Webster.
07:31Check your pin maps hit the street. Dismissed.
07:44Relax, Webster. I need a driver for today.
07:48What about Mike?
07:49He's on temporary assignment with homicide.
07:52I have a speaking engagement at, uh, what do you call it? Glenwood University.
07:57A speaking engagement? Is that right?
08:06I'd like to know more about how a police officer functions in a crisis.
08:11This gut instinct you mentioned, how is it acquired?
08:15I feel with most officers, it's acquired with time.
08:19The more duress and the more tension you're under, the more it starts to build itself up,
08:24the more you depend upon it until it's as if it were part of you.
08:31I'm curious, Lieutenant, if this wonderful instinct you speak of was present two years ago at Columbus Park
08:38when 25 police officers savagely attacked a group of peaceful sit-ins,
08:43killing two of them in the ensuing battle.
08:46I'm sorry I wasn't present at that demonstration.
08:49Yet you've just told us about this remarkable instinct that all police officers acquire in the face of crisis.
08:55I didn't say all.
08:56Ah, then you admit that in a crisis, some officers are incapable of rendering intelligent judgments.
09:03Perhaps some even panic and incite riots.
09:08Lieutenant, two years ago, last May, on a warm, sunny afternoon,
09:1425 of your stormtroopers with guns drawn maliciously waded into a group of unarmed, harmless demonstrators
09:22trying to save Columbus Park from being demolished.
09:26That's not true.
09:29I beg your pardon, I was there.
09:31Well, so was I.
09:33And no cops started anything.
09:36The riot was caused by a few, uh, supposed radicals
09:39who thought it would be a kick to set off canisters of tear gas.
09:42What about the two persons who were killed?
09:45According to reports which were published in the next day's newspapers,
09:48uh, both were killed by stray bullets,
09:51neither of which could be proven to have been fired from a policeman's gun.
09:57If there are no further questions...
09:59Professor Pom.
10:01Yes, Mr. Banning.
10:02I should like to continue questioning the patrolman.
10:05After all, how often do we get the chance to interrogate a real eyewitness?
10:10It's highly irregular.
10:12But if the...
10:13Oh, Officer Webster doesn't mind.
10:16I don't mind.
10:21Well, first I'd like to know if you also believe a policeman uses a gut instinct in times of emergency.
10:29I do.
10:30Would you say this special power was working the day of the park riot?
10:37I believe so, yes.
10:40Do you also believe this instinct we've been speaking of has been conditioned in your daily police work?
10:49Well, not only conditioned, it's, uh, sharper than my faculties.
10:54A man of confidence.
10:55I like that.
10:59Would you mind if I put you to a little test right now?
11:02Go ahead.
11:03Then I order you to look straight at me.
11:05Don't turn your eyes.
11:07Seated on your right is the most attractive Miss Alexander.
11:10On your left, Mr. Gates.
11:12And behind you on the wall a clock.
11:14Have you observed each of these since you've been here?
11:17I have.
11:19Excellent.
11:20Because now I would like you to tell us, using your keen faculties,
11:23if Miss Alexander is wearing perfume,
11:26what is the color of Mr. Gates' necktie,
11:28and if the clock on the wall is ticking or not.
11:31Also, just to see how observant you are,
11:33have you noticed the one discrepancy in Lieutenant Riker's uniform?
11:55We're waiting, officer.
11:59The most attractive Miss Alexander on my right is, uh, wearing perfume.
12:04Mr. Gates on my left is not.
12:07Wearing a tie and his collar is open.
12:09The clock on the wall has stopped working,
12:11and the hands are stuck at ten minutes to twelve.
12:17And there's no discrepancy with Lieutenant Riker's uniform.
12:20There never is.
12:22Ha, ha, ha.
12:52Do you know what I'm thinking about?
12:56Yeah, about Janice.
12:57Your sister died in my arms.
13:02Even when she stopped breathing, I just couldn't let go of her.
13:06What did it take, five of you to drag me off?
13:09Look, I know, I know.
13:10Let's just don't go into that again.
13:12Do you realize how long I've been waiting to find the cops that killed her?
13:16Just as long as I have.
13:19Yes, of course.
13:21Now we've got one of them.
13:23You heard Officer Webster.
13:26He said he was there.
13:51He said he was there.
14:01You've got to be joking.
14:03I'm very sorry, but I had the right of way.
14:05You weren't sick of me.
14:06Well, look again, my signal's still flashing.
14:08Yes, it is now, but it wasn't when I started to pass.
14:11However, if no one's hurt, I'm willing to forget the whole...
14:13This is not private property.
14:15This is a city street.
14:16Sight him on a 22106 unsafe stop under the vehicle code.
14:20Sight him.
15:13Officer Terry Webster.
15:19Cereal number 84934.
15:24It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Mr. Webster.
15:28Let me tell you, baby, a real pleasure.
15:49We love you.
15:51What's this place we're going to?
16:33What's this place we're going to do?
16:47Well, all the comforts of home.
16:50You feel like early American blandness.
16:52You want some help?
16:53No, no, no.
16:53This is my territory.
16:55I know what I want.
16:56Signal if you hear them returning.
17:26What exactly are you looking for?
17:29Mentos, trivia, the little bits and pieces of Terry Webster's life that he won't miss.
17:36Like this.
17:37What is it?
17:38This Police Academy tie clip with his name and serial number.
17:42It's perfect.
17:44What else do you need?
17:45Something more personal.
17:47Oh, this.
17:50His private telephone book.
17:53How nice.
17:55Terry Webster's a ladies' man.
17:57Good.
17:57Corey, let's not push our luck.
17:59Oh, now this moves me.
18:01Portrait of an officer as a young man with family.
18:06Remember, we do have another job to do tonight.
18:09All in good time.
18:10All in good time.
18:11He boasts about using his faculties while we'll make him eat those words.
18:14Oh.
18:18Another nail in his coffin.
18:21Are you finished?
18:22Can we go?
18:26How about this?
18:27You're crazy.
18:29Yes.
18:30I guess that is a little bit of an indulgence.
18:34Okay.
18:40It's been a pleasure, Officer Webster.
18:42I do hope to see you again soon.
19:01Terry, my friend, thank you for dinner.
19:02Yes, my buddy.
19:03See you on campus.
19:04Bye-bye.
19:06Oh, here, madam.
19:07Let me help you with those heavy things.
19:08Oh, no, no, thank you.
19:09Oh, but I insist.
19:10It'd be my pleasure if you'd allow me.
19:12Well, since you put it like that, I would appreciate it.
19:20That's a very attractive dress you're wearing.
19:31How you doing, Pete?
19:33Hey, Chris.
19:33Snow on the carburetor today.
19:35Sorry.
19:36Man, they're killing me.
19:37I'm really snowed under.
19:39Pete, how can you do this to me?
19:41Well, really, I'm sorry, man, but I can come by your place tomorrow and pick it up, look it over,
19:45and see what I can do.
19:46Okay?
19:47Okay.
19:48You better hurry.
19:49You'll be late for muster.
19:51All right, I know I'm late.
19:53Now, knock it off and let's get down to business.
19:54As you may have heard, our two fancy cat burglars have lapped up some more cream.
19:59A silent alarm was kicked off at the Dawson antique shop at 6.05 a.m.
20:04Our units arrived in time to give pursuit.
20:07But we lost them.
20:08Well, we lost them.
20:10They got away with two jade miniatures.
20:13Combined value, $4,000.
20:15I want you to write that down on your hot sheets, two jade miniatures.
20:19Now, now, now, now, Betty Ann, don't get angry.
20:21I'm telling the truth.
20:22Terry Webster told me all about you.
20:25Yes, he did.
20:26And how quick you turn on, et cetera, et cetera.
20:30Yeah, that, yeah, yes, yes, that's why I want to come by and get it together.
20:34You know what I mean?
20:36How about tonight?
20:39I don't think she likes me.
20:41Come on, Gloria, that's enough. I'm trying to study.
20:43Are you kidding?
20:44I've got about seven more numbers to do.
20:46First, Miss Connie Jo Lang.
20:48I mean it, Gloria.
20:49Now, forget Webster for a while.
20:51What's with this vendetta of yours?
21:08I've done some research you might find interesting.
21:12And this is what makes Officer Webster such a prize.
21:18Exhibit A, Exhibit B, Exhibit C.
21:26Webster's not just any policeman.
21:28He's the one who fired into the crowd the day Janice was killed.
21:32This could be Webster.
21:34There's no doubt about it, Ned.
21:36There's no way you can be that certain.
21:44You just want to kill him.
21:46That's it, isn't it?
21:47Sure I do.
21:48For what he did to your sister.
21:51For what he did to you in class.
21:53The way he humiliated you in front of everyone.
21:56No, no, that's not it either.
21:58You just want to kill someone and it doesn't really make much difference who, does it?
22:02You don't need a reason.
22:04Just to kill someone's reason enough.
22:06I figure I've got all the reason anyone but a coward could want or need.
22:10He killed Janice.
22:12I suppose you're wrong.
22:13There's that chance.
22:14Even you'll have to admit that.
22:16Hey, look, Cory.
22:17I mean, ripping off those places was one thing.
22:19But you're talking about killing someone now.
22:21You're talking about murdering a living human being.
22:23Yes.
22:24That's what I'm talking about.
22:28We've outsmarted the police.
22:29We've proved we can.
22:31This time will be no different.
22:33We'll outsmart them again and again and again.
22:38That's the way you get your kicks, isn't it?
22:40I seem to remember a smile or two on your face as well, Ned.
22:44Maybe, but...
22:45Maybe we've just graduated to bigger things, eh?
22:51If it makes you feel any better.
22:54That policeman on the photograph looks a lot like Webster, doesn't he?
23:16Webster, I want you to wait.
23:18I'll see you in a minute.
23:21Got another speaking engagement, Lieutenant?
23:23Don't get cute with me.
23:24Not when I'm trying to do you a favor.
23:26It just belonged to you.
23:30It's my serial number.
23:31That's what made me think it might be yours.
23:33Where'd you lose it?
23:34I didn't know it was lost.
23:36It was discovered this morning in Dawson's antique shop next to an open safe.
23:42Where?
23:43You heard me the first time.
23:46Now, what was it doing there? Can you tell me that?
23:51All right, I can't explain it.
23:54I couldn't this morning either when the detectives gave it to me.
23:57I thought about it so hard it was five minutes late for Muster, as you well know.
24:02I want to know how it got to Dawson's next to an open safe.
24:06You think about that. Let me know what you come up with.
24:14What was that all then?
24:17You wouldn't believe me if I told you, so let's just get it all out of here.
24:20Gary.
24:21Phone.
24:26Webster.
24:28Hi, Karen.
24:29What a nice price.
24:33What?
24:36When did this happen?
24:39Look, just take it easy.
24:41Um, you sure you meant me?
24:47I don't know what to say, Karen.
24:58What's the matter?
25:00Where's Karen?
25:01Uh, she just received her first obscene phone call on her unlisted number from a guy who
25:08says he's a personal friend of mine.
25:11I guess this isn't your day.
25:14No.
25:15Let's leave before the building caves end.
25:18Okay.
25:33Corey, bring me the plastic.
25:46Put the stuff away.
25:51Haul it right where you are.
25:59Hey, don't worry, Donald.
26:00He saw you.
26:01You want that?
26:07You're right.
26:08It'd be wrong to kill him just like this, to waste him.
26:13Waste not, what not, as the old saying goes.
26:16Set the safe for the explosives.
26:33Hello.
26:34Please listen, Officer Webster.
26:36Look, whoever you are, you nut, do you know what time it is?
26:57Still there, Webster.
27:00Look, um, why don't you just tell me what's going on?
27:04Oh, don't be tiresome, old boy.
27:07I think you'll find this the most pleasant part.
27:11Now listen.
27:16No, no.
27:21Congratulations.
27:23The security guard has just been killed in your name.
27:48Wait, Ned.
27:50What's up?
27:51No.
27:53No.
28:00No.
28:01No.
28:10No.
28:11No.
28:12No.
28:12No.
28:13No.
28:13No.
28:15No.
28:20And you admit it's yours?
28:22Yes, sir.
28:23Can you give me a logical explanation as to how it got here?
28:27I can't.
28:29Webster, you know, this is getting to be a habit with you.
28:31First, your tie clip and your phone book.
28:34These things don't just get up and walk away.
28:39Has your apartment been broken into?
28:41Is there any evidence you've been ripped off?
28:44No.
28:46Owens.
28:47Yes, sir. Come here.
28:50Now, you live in the same building with Webster.
28:53Has anything been stolen from you in the past few days?
28:55No, sir.
28:56All right.
29:01I don't think this has anything to do with Chris and Michael James.
29:05I don't know who or why, but it's me being set up.
29:14Well, I'm going to send this down to the lab.
29:17Maybe he left some prints on it, whoever it is.
29:20Dust it for prints.
29:22Meanwhile, why don't you do an inventory of your apartment, see if anything else is missing.
29:26Maybe with a little luck, next time we will have their number instead of the other way around.
29:50All right.
29:51Let's do it.
30:00you awake no

34:21Hey, where are you going?
34:22To make sure we got him.
34:30Oh, my God.
35:02Is Owen's dead?
35:04Of course.
35:05Of course he is.
35:22If I had just left the bike at the motor pool, he'd still be alive.
35:26Don't do it.
35:26It's not your fault it was an accident.
35:30Oh, man, no answer.
35:32Pete was murdered just like the guard two nights ago.
35:41That's crazy.
35:42Pete was doing me a favor.
35:44It had nothing to do with you.
35:46Yeah, but he just happened to be riding your bike.
35:51Oh, man.
35:54He was killed because someone thought he was me?
35:57But that doesn't make sense.
35:58It doesn't make sense.
36:01No, two men are killed maybe because of me, and I don't know why.
36:09You better come at me.
36:11What's he waiting for?
36:13Maybe to have you do just what you've done that could have had prints on it.
36:17Look, uh, go on.
36:19I can finish up here.
36:20I'll see you guys later.
36:22Just take it easy, huh?
36:25Stay slow.
36:32This is Ludlow Niner requesting a code 7.
36:36Ludlow Niner, roger.
36:48Oh, wait.
36:52Mr. Owens.
36:53I'll go on up.
36:56Hello, Mrs. Callender.
36:58Mrs. O'Neill said you were looking for me to ask questions.
37:01Did I do something wrong?
37:03No, Mrs. Callender.
37:04But I did want to ask you if you had noticed anything suspicious
37:06near Terry's apartment in the last week or so.
37:08Like somebody trying to break in.
37:11That's silly.
37:12What?
37:13A burglar picking the apartment of a policeman to rob
37:16when he's got so many others to choose from.
37:18I guess it is silly.
37:19Here, why don't I help you with this and walk you upstairs?
37:22Oh, thank you.
37:28On the other hand, I do remember those two nice friends
37:30who came to dinner last week.
37:32But then I'm always impressed with good manners.
37:34Mrs. Callender, what two friends?
37:37Oh, you know, those two chums of Mr. Webster's.
37:40I met them in the hall when they were saying goodnight
37:43and thanking him for a fine dinner.
37:45Are you sure it was last week?
37:47Positive.
37:48Is that all?
37:50Mrs. Callender, could you tell me anything?
37:53Everything about Terry's two polite friends
37:55made such a strong impression.
37:57Age.
37:58Oh, yes!
37:59Height.
37:59I remember them very well.
38:02Terry, Mrs. Callender saw them.
38:05She spotted two of them leaving your apartment last Tuesday night.
38:08Young men, early 20s, well-dressed,
38:13both about 5'10", dark hair.
38:15Mean anything?
38:17Could be almost anyone.
38:20Anything else?
38:21Yeah.
38:21Uh, just before closing your door,
38:24she thinks they yelled out,
38:25see you guys on campus.
38:28See you guys on campus?
38:31See you guys on campus?
38:37It's crazy.
38:40But it fits.
38:43Linwood University.
38:45Riker speaking engagements of that law class.
38:50My faculties.
38:52My faculties.
38:54What are you talking about?
38:57Let's check something out with Riker.
38:58I'll fill you in on the way.
39:02Yeah.
39:03My condolences off Swipster.
39:07How very sad for him.
39:09And for you, too.
39:11You must be feeling very lonely.
39:14Now, you listen, creep.
39:15That's a lousy sense of humor.
39:16My partner's dead.
39:18Now, don't you understand that?
39:19Oh, I do understand your grief.
39:21I was right there, on the firing line.
39:24You might even say I was the last face Chris saw.
39:28He died very bravely.
39:33I want to meet you.
39:34A confrontation?
39:36Oh, yes.
39:37I'd like that.
39:39Where?
39:40I hear your super cop.
39:42You figure it out.
39:44Use your faculties, sir.
39:48If you don't mind laboring on Sunday,
39:51I'll be waiting for you, Terry.
39:53Now, y'all come and get me.
39:56If you're smart enough.
39:58Goodbye.
40:04I want to do this alone.
40:06Over my dead body.
40:18Central, this is Logo 9.
40:20Webster, hook me through to Lieutenant Riker.
40:27What is it, Webster?
40:29Lieutenant working on a hunch on the cat burglar killers.
40:32It's not much, but it may pay off.
40:34Where are you headed now?
40:35Campus of Linwood University.
40:38All right, play it out.
40:39Turns into anything.
40:40We'll let you know.
40:41All right, do that, Webster.
40:42Do that.
40:4210-4.
40:42I never will marry
40:50I'll be no man's wife
40:56I intend to live single
41:04For the rest of my life
41:09For the rest of my life
41:11For the summer's age
41:32For the rest of my life
41:47This is Ludlow 9
41:56At Linwood University
42:07Officer Webster
42:08I want to talk to you
42:35Let's go
42:51All right, why me? I want to know, why me?
42:55Because you killed Janice West.
42:57You murdered her in cold blood.
43:02What?
43:03Don't play dumb with me.
43:04You admitted to being at Columbus Park that day.
43:07Now admit you killed Janice.
43:09Admit it!
43:15You're a fool.
43:17Yes, I was there, but that was only two years ago before I even dreamed of joining the force.
43:21I was there because a friend of mine was leading the demonstration, and I was marching with him!
43:26Janice Weston and I were on the same side!
43:37Read him his rights.
43:38Let's go.
44:27You've got to let go of it, Terry.
44:30You can't let it climb all over you like that.
44:32It's over.
44:35What a waste.
44:40You know, if it weren't for Janice Weston, all this might not have happened.
44:44That's not good.
44:45Janice Weston was just a name used.
44:47There could have been a thousand other reasons that turned him to kill him.
45:00They had it all, right?
45:07Everything.
45:11I started the game out with blue chips.
45:13Funny money.
45:14You've got to laugh at funny money.
45:16You've got to laugh at...
45:22having it all.
45:22I'm not a lot of money.
45:26I just don't care.
45:27I'm not a little bit.
45:29I'm not a little bit.
45:50I'm not a little bit.
