01:06The End
01:27Ludlow Niner, investigate reported prowler calling street vicinity Fisher's Sandwich Shop out.
01:44The End
01:55The End
02:03The End
02:04The End
02:12All right, police, hold it.
02:14All right, hands behind your neck and lock your fingers.
02:18Lock your fingers.
02:32Okay, it's okay.
02:38I don't think it's as bad as it looks.
02:40Let's stop by the hospital.
02:42Have him take a look here for me.
02:45Terry, you gotta take a look at you, too.
02:47Why?
02:48Why?
02:49It only hurts when I breathe.
02:51All right, please listen to me, sir.
02:52You have the right to remain silent?
02:54Yeah, I'm gonna use it, too, baby.
02:56You have the right to remain silent?
02:58Anything you say can and will be used against you.
03:01You have the right to an attorney?
03:02If you can't wait for me.
03:03If you can't afford one, we'll be appointed.
03:20If you can't afford one, we'll be appointed.
03:32Uh, ask Dr. Nagel to come down to emergency admitting, please.
03:38Is what they said true?
03:40Did you fall?
03:43Listen, you can tell me.
03:45I'll try to help you.
03:48Uh, nurse, uh, nurse Davis.
03:52If it'll make you happier, officer Gillis and I will confess that we beat this gentleman with lead truncheons
03:57and then with a backup unit ran over him three times.
04:00Four.
04:00Uh, four times.
04:02And assuming this makes you happier, could you please get this man some medical attention?
04:10Hey, Dan, how about using the gentleman?
04:12Just wait a minute.
04:14Oh, man.
04:17You mean you aren't even going to let the man...
04:19All right, all right.
04:20Uh, Willie, why don't you take him over and check it out?
04:22We don't want nurse Davis to get the wrong impression.
04:25No.
04:26Okay.
04:47Okay, you get two minutes by my watch, which runs fast.
04:54You're a prince.
04:56An absolute prince.
05:02It happened at, uh, in an alley 400 north of Forrester.
05:09Time?
05:11About 2.35 a.m.
05:16All right.
05:17That's all we need.
05:19Any idea how long this is going to take?
05:22Fifteen minutes, I'd say.
05:24The cut didn't look very deep.
05:26Well, as long as we've got that much time, uh, could you start on another form, please?
05:31Who for?
05:33Uh, me.
05:35I'd like to get some ribs here on my right side x-rayed.
05:39Our friend there threw a garbage can at me.
05:43Really?
05:45Yes, really.
05:46And, yes, really, he did hurt himself trying to go over a fence while we were chasing him.
05:51And, yes, really, why do you assume that because I'm wearing a blue uniform I'm trying to hurt people?
06:02The name is Terry Webster.
06:03The occupation happens to be police officer.
06:06And, yes, really.
06:08Could we start on the other form, please?
06:19Okay, it's Hans.
06:27Terry!
06:44The description of the suspect is as follows.
06:48Male Caucasian, late 20s, six feet, about 165 pounds, wearing a brown jacket and gray trousers when he pulled his
06:56Houdini.
06:57Lieutenant, we still don't know how he pulled the gray away from the wall.
07:03I do.
07:06You left him a tool to pry it away with.
07:08That's how he did it.
07:09You left him a tool and you left him alone.
07:12If it's my fault, Lieutenant, I told Willie to let him go in.
07:15Officer Gillis should have refused.
07:17Why did you tell him to let that man go in there?
07:19There was this nurse who thought we were being too hard on him.
07:21I guess I just overreacted.
07:24And you were trying to impress her, right?
07:26No, not the way you mean.
07:27I just didn't want her to think that we were being heavies, that's all.
07:30Well, you succeeded beyond your wildest expectations, Officer Webster.
07:34We allowed that man privacy and we allowed him to escape.
07:37She must think we're real nice guys now.
07:39Look, Lieutenant, don't you think you're coming down a little hard when it's just a case of malicious mischief?
07:44If that's all there was to it, yes.
07:46But it was followed by an assault on an officer, then the escape, at which point it became a felony.
07:51I think there's a lot more to it than that.
07:53This thing last night wasn't the only incident reported.
07:56I think we're dealing with a protection racket.
07:58The problem is we've had no formal complaints.
08:01And without that, all we can do is wait until someone gets mad enough to ask us in.
08:06Any questions?
08:07Do you think there's any connection with the assault on that store owner on 4th Street last week?
08:12Very probably.
08:13The victim couldn't or wouldn't identify as assailants.
08:16It was the same M.O. as last night, though.
08:19Anything else?
08:22Dismissed.
08:30Uh, Webb, sir.
08:32Gillis.
08:35Um, Fisher's place is in your old neighborhood, right?
08:38Yes, sir.
08:39I hear he has great sandwiches.
08:41I don't know.
08:42I haven't been there in a while.
08:44Well, I'd like to find out.
08:45I missed lunch.
08:46Come on.
08:47I'm buying.
08:55More coffee, Lieutenant?
08:57No, thanks.
08:58I'm sure glad you fellas dropped by.
09:00I haven't seen Terry since he became a police officer.
09:03How come you don't come around anymore?
09:05Oh, just been busy, Mr. Fisher.
09:08I used to give this rascal free sodas.
09:10Now he doesn't want to visit his old friends anymore.
09:13He didn't give me free anything.
09:15I had to take the trash off of those sodas.
09:18Well, it built your moral fiber.
09:21It also got your trash taken out.
09:24Mr. Fisher, we're not here for a totally social visit.
09:27We'd like to talk to you about your window last night.
09:30Well, I...
09:32I told the detectives everything I could.
09:35Did you?
09:37Mr. Fisher?
09:38Sir, we've increased patrols in the neighborhood.
09:41But we need some help.
09:43Some concrete information.
09:45I'm sorry.
09:46I don't know anything.
09:48Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to the counter.
09:56I'll buy the sandwiches.
09:57I don't buy a story.
10:07Hi there.
10:08Hi there.
10:08Hi there.
10:09Well, I see you got your men.
10:11Best tradition of the department.
10:12Yeah.
10:13Well, I'm afraid I've only got one of them.
10:15One of them's going to bail himself out.
10:17Who's not staying?
10:18I'm not staying.
10:18I appreciate the invitation, Joe, but I...
10:28Hello.
10:32Mike, this is Susan Davis.
10:33She works with me at the hospital.
10:35Hi, Susan.
10:37Oh, this is...
10:38That's okay.
10:38They've already met.
10:41Susan was the nurse on duty the night...
10:44Well, how do you say it?
10:46What, the nurse on duty when...
10:49The guy...
10:50Oh, when the guy...
10:52Oh, yeah, okay.
10:53Yeah, that's the way to say it.
10:54I guess, huh?
11:06Hey, gee, watch where you're going.
11:11Open it.
11:20Flip on that, Liz.
11:23All right, come on then.
11:23We got work to do.
11:41You don't do anything, Amber, you do.
11:42Good job.
11:44Don't...
11:47Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
12:26What are you doing, man?
12:29I always wanted a color set.
12:30This got easy tuning.
12:49This is Ludlow 9 requesting a code 7 at 400 North Forrester.
12:56Hey, it was just some TV sets.
12:59Nobody got hurt, at least.
13:01Not physically.
13:03Guy's insured, isn't he?
13:06Willie, two-bit crime is like paying taxes, only in reverse.
13:11The poor always pay a higher percentage than the rich do.
13:14You take 100 grand from a millionaire, it might hurt, but it's 10%.
13:20These guys take 25 bucks from a guy who maybe clears 100 a week.
13:25And the guys they're taking from just clam up and keep paying.
13:32Because they don't believe we can do anything to help, right?
13:36And maybe they know what they're talking about.
13:40Ludlow 9, okay, your code 7 request.
13:44Roger.
13:44Ludlow 9 out.
13:48Should we eat?
14:01All four of us.
14:05Just a cup of coffee, but that's all.
14:07I like to watch my calories.
14:10Everybody in the whole world is on a diet.
14:13Whatever became of good, honest fat?
14:15How about you, Cal?
14:17You're young enough to take on a few calories.
14:19Just coffee, Mr. Fisher.
14:21Well, all right.
14:22You probably have to hurry back to class.
14:25Oh, no, Mr. Fisher, not my little brother.
14:29He's decided very cleverly not to finish out the year.
14:33So I start that now, okay, Susan?
14:39I guess that will be all, Mr. Fisher.
14:42Yeah.
14:46Play an instrument, Cal?
14:49No, what?
14:50In that case, I thought it was a clarinet or a piccolo.
14:59Hey, Terry, guess again.
15:01The man's got his own pool cue.
15:06Cal, are you, uh, you any good?
15:09I have my moments, I guess.
15:12That means he's good.
15:16When you're complimented, Cal, you say thank you.
15:23Well, that depends on who's doing the complimenting, I'd say.
15:27Cal.
15:30Look, I don't want no coffee.
15:32I see Beck's place.
15:44I'm afraid I have to apologize for Cal.
15:46I think some of my attitude rubbed off on him.
15:49Is that still your attitude?
15:55Wow.
15:56Hey, listen, I really am not wild about the police
16:00and some of the things they do, and that's a fact.
16:02Yeah, I dig it.
16:04Maybe that's one of the reasons why I joined up.
16:10Pick up over here.
16:11I'll get it.
16:16Oh, how much do we owe you, Mr. Fisher?
16:18Uh, that'll be $2 even.
16:21Okay.
16:22Mm-hmm.
17:00So you think this kid, Cal, could lead us or something?
17:03It sure looked that way, Lieutenant.
17:05Get him in here.
17:06Let's have a talk with him.
17:08There is nothing definite except that, uh, Willie saw them both together.
17:11I think it needs more checking into.
17:14What do you have in mind?
17:16I have no specific idea except that, why don't you let someone else handle it?
17:21For what reason?
17:23I just don't want Susan to think that I'm using her and I like her.
17:27Not well enough, apparently, to try to help her brother.
17:30If he's guilty, she's not going to think that I'm trying to help him very much.
17:33If he's guilty, you may just find out that he's innocent.
17:38Gillis, don't tell me you're on my side.
17:41Neutral observer, Lieutenant.
17:43There's no such animal, Gillis, nothing that squeezed like this.
17:47The assignment is yours, Webster.
17:50Dismissed.
17:59Dismissed.
19:02You got into a blue charger after you left Mr. Fisher's yesterday.
19:07We were wondering who was driving.
19:10Who, dude?
19:21This dude got a last name?
19:24This dude, man.
19:28Anything else I can do for you?
19:29Yeah.
19:32This is where you, uh, hang out?
19:35No, I don't hang out here, man.
19:37This is how I make my bread.
19:39Only you and Mr. Gillis here are standing around in those uniforms killing my action.
19:45This is how you're gonna make a living?
19:52Can you dig it?
19:56Not bad.
20:01But, uh, I don't think you're good enough, Cal.
20:05Well, suppose you tell me how you know what's good enough and what ain't good enough, huh?
20:09Well, it's, uh, your ball, Willie, and, uh, I don't know what you're gonna do with it,
20:13but, uh, don't lateral because this is one game that I don't...
20:19Well, you haven't answered my question.
20:22What makes you such an expert, Willie?
20:25Uh, we had some tables set up in the student union where I went to university.
20:29Student union?
20:33All right.
20:34All right, student university.
20:37Tell us all about what happened at the student university, Willie.
20:48Okay, I'll tell you what happened.
20:58Let's see now.
21:00This is, uh, four and a half by nine slate table.
21:05Fifteen balls.
21:07I figure it's the same game I played when I was in school.
21:15Now, are you all mouth or can you shoot some pool, too?
21:19How about a little nine ball for five dollars?
21:22Well, I'd be happy to.
21:24But, uh, see that sign over there, Cal?
21:28It says no gambling.
21:29Chicken!
21:31Come on, put your money where your mouth is, pig.
21:37I want to do another thing.
21:56Okay.
21:58Straight pool.
22:00150 points.
22:02Call it.
22:03Pits.
22:06You got it.
22:21Twelve.
22:25Two.
22:31Twelve.
22:39Eleven.
22:45What do you shoot?
22:48When he misses.
22:57If he misses.
23:00If he misses.
23:02When he misses, huh?
23:16I could be here all day.
23:22Yeah.
23:24I don't need any more of those, Danko.
23:26I got enough of my own.
23:27This is what the lab turned up on that paint can, Lieutenant.
23:30Prints traced to a David Miller, a.k.a.
23:32Dude.
23:33Record goes back about five years.
23:35All petty stuff.
23:36But all involving muscle.
23:38Well, it looks like dude here might fit into a protection racket just fine.
23:42The question is, who's paying him?
23:44Well, we got enough additional men on the street.
23:46Shouldn't take us too long to find out.
23:48To our satisfaction, yes.
23:49But to find out with enough evidence to take him into court, that's gonna be hard.
23:53You think so?
23:54Well, I know so, Danko.
23:56These guys are pros.
23:57They're not gonna make any mistakes.
23:59We can't afford to make any either.
24:01It's not a game we're playing.
24:12Nine.
24:16Ten.
24:21Two.
24:37One.
24:44That's my partner, Willie Gillis.
25:22That's my partner, Willie Gillis.
26:06143 for Cal, 147 for Gillis.
26:26Game's over.
26:49You're good, Cal.
26:53But any time you think that you have found easy money, tread lightly, brother.
27:15Hey, champ, you forgot your jacket.
27:19Hey, somebody put some money in the jukebox, okay?
27:22Hey.
27:25Good.
27:28I just hope that what happened is good for Cal.
27:33Terry, he had to be taken down a peg or two.
27:39He'd hang around here for the rest of his life.
27:41Nickel and diming.
27:43Maybe, maybe.
27:46But even that is an identity.
27:49I just hope that we didn't take away the thing that he counts on.
27:53The thing that he answers to inside.
27:56His thing.
27:59Because he'd go looking for another answer, and it could be worse.
28:08I think he's already found that answer.
28:13Looks just like the paint they cleaned off of Fisher's window.
28:20We suspect that Cal might be involved with a protection racket that's been roused in small businesses in the neighborhood.
28:28Comes the dawn.
28:31That's why you've been seeing me.
28:33Just to gather evidence against Cal.
28:35No, not so.
28:40I don't know what to think anymore.
28:43All right.
28:45Don't trust me if you don't want it.
28:48Don't trust any cop.
28:51But hear me when I tell you that your kid brother could be heading for trouble.
28:58Now if you believe that.
29:00And you don't want our help.
29:02Get someone else's.
29:04A friend.
29:05A social worker.
29:06A psychiatrist.
29:07Anybodies.
29:08But don't let it go on, Susan.
29:11Because the games that they've got them playing now could get a lot rougher.
29:15A lot rougher.
29:19Give me time to think.
29:21Please.
29:23All right.
29:25I'll call you tonight, yeah?
29:27Well, I can't make it tonight.
29:29Some kind of concert.
29:30They're pulling a lot of the guys in from street duty to funnel the people in and out.
29:35I'll call you tomorrow, though.
29:37Fair enough.
29:43Listen, I'll talk to Cal when he gets home.
29:46Yeah.
29:53Oh, what can I do for you, Cal?
30:06Look, Mr. Creator, I'm tired of hustling pool for next to nothing.
30:11And I was just wondering if...
30:14Yeah, I, uh, I know what you mean, Cal.
30:18It's gonna be difficult for me to set up matches for you when people find out about you being taken
30:22by that cop.
30:24But, uh, is there anything else you can do, Cal?
30:29Look, I can do anything you want me to do, Mr. Creator.
30:33I've already been helping dude out sometimes.
30:35Have you?
30:36Huh.
30:37Well, I like a man who's trying to get a little more out of life.
30:46Here.
30:47Go to these addresses.
30:49Just, uh, tell them you're collecting.
30:51They'll understand.
31:02Something wrong?
31:05Can't you read my handwriting?
31:08No, I can read it fine, Mr. Creator.
31:12Just fine.
31:17Will you come back and see us again?
31:19You hear me?
31:20Anytime.
31:33Well, young man, what can I get for you today?
31:36Uh, I'm not sure.
31:38Well, I've got a menu longer than your right arm.
31:41So if you don't see what you want, you just pick up that menu.
31:46I came to collect the envelope.
31:52What did you say?
31:54The envelope.
31:55I came to collect it.
31:59Now they're sending babies to collect from old men.
32:03Well, let me tell you something.
32:05I don't have that much money to pay, nor that many years to be afraid of.
32:10Mr. Fisher, the people I work for, they're not playing games.
32:15Oh, yes, they are.
32:17Let me tell you how it works.
32:19First, they throw paint on my window.
32:21Then I have to pay $23 to have it cleaned off.
32:24And now they want me to pay $25 a week to them.
32:28Well, I just don't have it, young man.
32:30Squeeze me, you get turnip juice.
32:32No blood.
32:35Mr. Fisher, there's gonna be a lot of blood if they don't get their money.
32:40I mean, if it was up to me, I'd try to help you out.
32:45I don't agree with what they're doing.
32:47Yes, I can tell you don't agree with them.
32:50That's why you're here, isn't it?
32:56Get off.
32:57I don't want to look at you.
33:03There's one missing, Cal.
33:06Or did I lose count?
33:09Uh, yeah, um...
33:12Well, Mr. Fisher, he couldn't pay.
33:14Couldn't?
33:16Couldn't?
33:17That's a strange word, Cal.
33:19Couldn't.
33:26I don't, uh, recollect hearing about any bank holiday,
33:30and the dollar's still fairly sound.
33:33You sure you don't mean won't pay?
33:36Look, Mr. Creeter, when I ask him, he just...
33:40You don't ask.
33:41You tell.
33:42But he's an old man.
33:43He won't be for very much longer.
33:50You know, you're right, Cal.
33:52He's a tough old bird.
33:55I'll, uh, have to speak to him personally.
33:58Yeah.
33:59Oh, on your way out, would you tell a dude I'd like to see him, huh?
34:02Sure.
34:04I'll send him right here.
34:12Hey, Cal.
34:16Creeter wants to see you.
34:19You gonna make it to the rock concert tonight?
34:22No.
34:23I don't think you are either.
34:25I expect you'll be painting tonight.
34:27Oh, man, the streets are full of heat, Creeter knows that.
34:31No, not tonight.
34:33They're all gonna be over at the concert tonight.
34:35I heard one of the cops told my sister.
34:37Oh, yeah?
34:39And I see.
34:59And I see.
35:20hello is officer terry webster there yes oh then how about lieutenant reicher

41:30Right.
41:33Riker wasn't there, but the captain wants Cal brought in.
41:37Please, Cal, what are you involved in?
41:45Cal, can you identify the two men for us?
41:51Well, I'll never forget them.
41:53I don't know whether it was his name or not, but one of them was called Dude.
41:58Dude?
42:00Isn't that your old friend with the dark blue charger, Cal?
42:04Isn't it?
42:09I worry about you, Cal.
42:13I mean, if you don't care about your own life, how about your sister's?
42:17Hey, look, don't worry about it here.
42:21I'll handle it.
42:22You're past the point of handling anything.
42:26You work for that man, right?
42:28And you want to do a really good job, right?
42:32But one way to do that is to see the results of your hard work.
42:35Come on, you're going with us to the hospital.
42:50How are you today, Mr. Fisher?
42:53I'll survive.
42:55I'm good at that.
43:00Can you handle a few minutes' talk with a stubborn old Irishman?
43:05I knew you'd be back, Lieutenant.
43:08But you can come back tomorrow, or the next day, or next year.
43:13The answer will still be the same.
43:15I just don't care anymore.
43:27Mr. Fisher?
43:30I don't care.
43:33Look, I'm sorry.
43:37I'm sorry.
43:39It's all right, sir.
43:44Look, don't give up, huh?
43:47Don't let him do this to you.
43:49What do you want me to do?
43:52Testify about the man who attacked you.
43:54What about him?
43:56Why can't he testify?
43:57He can, Mr. Fisher, but it won't be of much value.
44:00We need an eyewitness, and that's you.
44:03Besides, he hasn't agreed to testify.
44:08Afraid.
44:16Yeah.
44:18They hurt us both, son.
44:20Because they wouldn't let us be men.
44:23They took that away from us.
44:30Maybe, together, we can get it back.
44:39Let's go to work, Webster.
44:48Jill, could you do me a favor, please?
44:50Call the precinct, ask for Sergeant Kiner.
44:52Tell him that we need a stenotypist in Mr. Fisher's room as soon as possible, okay?
44:55Right.
45:18I know it.
45:20We should have killed him.
45:21Who?
45:22That old coot.
45:24He's been talking to the cops.
45:26So's the kid.
45:49You got a search warrant?
45:50We don't need one friend.
45:52It's a public place.
46:00Uh, well, where do we go from here?
46:03We're probably headed out of town by now.
46:05Why would they do that?
46:06They don't know that we're looking for them.
46:09Wait a minute.
46:10What room they got old man Fisher in?
46:13436-5.
46:34Now, let's, uh, no one get too excited.
46:37Uh, JJ has a gun in his pocket, and if we have to, we'll kill all three of you right
46:42here and now.
46:43And being killed would spoil the rest of this beautiful day, no end.
46:47And that's the truth.
46:49Cal, old friend, take Mr. Fisher in his chair while I promenade with your pretty little sister here on the
46:57way over to the parking lot.
47:05Hi, babe.
47:06Has anybody been in to see Fisher?
47:08Um, just Susan Hackel.
47:11Are you there now?
47:12Uh, no.
47:13I think they went for a walk out on the ground somewhere.
47:16Okay, let's move it.
47:17You call Roger.
47:46Parking lot.
48:03I'll go this way.
48:04I'll go this way.
48:09No!
48:20Get off the ground.
48:54You all right, sir?
48:56Sure, sure.
49:12Easy, Crater, easy.
49:14Because this is one game I do know how to play.
49:31Let's start off.
49:32Looks like a diamond.
49:36Hey, Cal, I'd like to, but all we had at school were regular pool tables, so I never had a
49:39chance to play any snooker.
49:41Well, I'd be more than happy to teach you all about the game.
49:45You won't have time to teach anybody anything, mister.
49:47You'll be too busy hitting those books.
49:49Hey, look, I'm just trying to make myself a little extra lunch money, that's all.
49:53Yeah, well, Mr. Fisher promised you some kind of a discount.
49:56I don't think it's right.
49:57You should be hustling my partner.
49:59Hey, what is this?
50:00No one seems to consider the possibility that I might win.
50:03No, it's not that, Willie.
50:05It's not that we didn't consider the possibilities.
50:07We did, and exactly...
50:10Why don't you get what you're going to eat, tell me what you want to drink, and I'll get it
50:14for you.
50:14Break out the beer.
50:15I'll have a beer.
50:16Beer.
50:17Beer.
50:17A beer?
50:18I'll have a beer, too.
50:21Say what?
50:22Hey, look, I'll take it to go.
50:28Pick it up in about two years.
50:29You got it?
50:30That's it.
50:31Baby.
50:39Oh, my God.
