00:23The End
00:30I beg to differ.
00:30There's no time for begging either, Levitz.
00:32Yes, sir. I'll just hold those thoughts until I sense a law.
00:35I appreciate it.
00:38Come on, here.
00:39Officer, what are you getting so excited for?
00:41So I made a little mistake.
00:42Yep.
00:44You got caught.
00:47Captain, how are you?
00:48Mr. Carter, man, not...
00:49Here, another robbery?
00:51Fifth time, but with a twist.
00:54We caught one.
00:56Congratulations.
00:57Shut up.
01:00His name is Calvin J. Kendall.
01:02I was walking by Mr. Carter in his store,
01:04and I peeked in through a window,
01:06and here's this clown holding a gun on him.
01:07Yeah, he was waving it in my face, demanding money.
01:09I wasn't demanding.
01:11I was just joking around.
01:13You threatened to blow my head off.
01:16I meant that figuratively, not literally.
01:19What's that supposed to mean?
01:22I don't think I have to answer that.
01:25No, Lord, you're welcome.
01:26Yo.
01:27Levitz?
01:27Sir?
01:29Uh, Mr. Carter, an officer Levitt will take a statement.
01:32Can't you just use the one I gave you last time?
01:34I'm afraid not.
01:36Ah, who cares?
01:37It'll be kind of fun this time.
01:38I get to put somebody away.
01:41Nothing personal.
01:41You understand.
01:42No, go ahead and draw yourself.
01:45Sir, have a seat.
01:47I, uh, hope you'll forgive the way I'm dressed.
01:50Ah, forget it.
01:55Mr. Kendall, is it possible we've, um, met before?
02:00Who, me?
02:02Not unless you spend some time up around Billings, Montana.
02:05Billings, Montana?
02:07No.
02:07No, Billings.
02:09Don't feel bad.
02:10It's kind of like Cleveland with sheep.
02:16Oh, Joe, let's, uh, let's run a check on Mr. Kendall here, huh?
02:20Sure, Brian.
02:21On your feet, Kendall.
02:22Come on, come on, come on.
02:24Sit.
02:26For a precinct, what's your heart?
02:28Yeah, Cogan.
02:31Harrison Dietrich was shot at?
02:33Are they all right?
02:36Okay, they were checking out a disturbance.
02:38Who cares?
02:38Are they all right?
02:41They are.
02:43Well, why didn't you say so in the first place?
02:46Well, think a minute, Cogan.
02:48I should have been a first words out of your mouth.
02:50What's going on?
02:51Harrison Dietrich was shot at.
02:53Are they all right?
02:54Yeah, they were checking out this disturbance.
02:55Whoa, Joe!
02:57Yeah, they're fine.
03:00Cogan?
03:02Cogan?
03:06Cogan will fill you in on details.
03:08As soon as he finishes laughing.
03:12Come on.
03:13Come on.
03:27Come on.
03:32Come on.
03:34Come on.
03:37Oh, my God.
04:24In here, Harpo.
04:26Listen, please don't be mad at me.
04:28I couldn't stand it if you were mad at me.
04:30Man, look, I do not care if you have psychotic episodes,
04:33but for God's sake, don't whine about them.
04:38You guys all right?
04:40Oh, yeah, fine.
04:41Couldn't be better, Captain.
04:42Yourself?
04:44What happened?
04:45Well, we answered that disturbance call
04:47and found this sick human being going bananas on a subway platform.
04:51He was trying to force people to get into single file,
04:53go into the subway.
04:54He was prodding them with the barrel of this revolver.
04:57Well, you see, I had to.
04:59You see, people kept jumping and shoving into each other.
05:01I had to step in.
05:02Someone would have been hurt if I didn't.
05:04Okay, let's just settle down, Mr., uh...
05:05Nicholas Baskin.
05:07Mr. Baskin is an air traffic controller, Barney.
05:10Ah, uh, what?
05:12What, all that garbage you read in the papers
05:14about we're all going to flip out sooner or later?
05:15We can't handle that kind of pressure?
05:17Too much responsibility?
05:18Is that what you meant?
05:19Is that what's going on behind that smug little ah of yours?
05:23Uh, Mr. Baskin, Sergeant Harris will take a statement.
05:29Come on, Baskin, right here.
05:32What, uh, what was with the shooting?
05:35Go ahead, Arthur.
05:36Tell him.
05:38Not much to it.
05:40Gun went off.
05:40Luckily, nobody got hurt.
05:42Oh, come on.
05:43Let's not mince words, Dietrich.
05:45Wait a minute.
05:45What's going on here?
05:46What happened?
05:46I'll tell you what happened.
05:48Chuck O'Hare walked up to me,
05:50stuck his gun in my face,
05:51cocked the hammer,
05:53was about to pull the trigger,
05:54and Dietrich knocked his arm away
05:56just as the gun went off
05:57and thereby saved my life.
06:03Yeah, something like that.
06:04Mm-mm.
06:05It was exactly like that,
06:07and you know it.
06:09Excuse me.
06:14It's adrenaline's funny stuff, eh?
06:20I wouldn't beg like this
06:22if it wasn't a life-in-death situation.
06:24For the last time,
06:26stop drooling on my baseball.
06:30You understand what I...
06:31How's it going, Boge?
06:32Okay, just a...
06:34clown keeps begging all over my desk.
06:38You want a make on him?
06:39Yeah.
06:40Uh...
06:40It checks out.
06:42Billings, Montana.
06:44Oh.
06:45It's got a clean record, though.
06:46It was even in the service.
06:48Really?
06:49Uh-huh.
06:49It was in the Army.
06:51Navy.
06:55Oh, yeah.
06:56Boats, right?
07:02How long were you in the Navy, Mr. Kendall?
07:04Four years.
07:06Fellas,
07:08isn't there some way
07:09we could straighten out
07:10this little...
07:12error on my part
07:13if I could perhaps apologize
07:15to this man
07:16or offer him a couple of bucks
07:17for the inconvenience?
07:19I'm afraid not, Mr. Kendall.
07:22I got a plane
07:23to catch back to Billings.
07:24Tough toenails.
07:26You must apply to Billings, buddy,
07:28and you got a hell of a way
07:29for the next one.
07:31Sit.
07:33Another outburst like that,
07:34I'll handcuff your lips together.
07:41Stern, but effective.
07:46Could you hurry it up a little bit
07:47because I really have
07:48to get back to work.
07:50So soon after the breakdown?
07:53Listen,
07:54I just got a little wound up,
07:55that's all.
07:56And it's one of those days,
07:58you know,
07:59I mean,
07:59imagine if you had a look
08:00at these blips all day long.
08:03Scurrying here
08:04and darting there.
08:05I mean,
08:06one of them might be
08:07a tour to Hawaii.
08:09Mm-hmm.
08:10And these blips
08:11are my responsibility.
08:13I have to personally
08:15guide that little
08:17green pulse of light
08:19safely through my area.
08:22Those people's vacations
08:24depend on me.
08:26Uh, look,
08:27um,
08:28how would you like
08:29to go on one?
08:30On what?
08:33Vacation.
08:34I have two weeks
08:36coming up in August.
08:37Look,
08:37why don't you let me
08:38speak to your superior?
08:39Maybe I can get that
08:40moved up a little bit.
08:42Do you think you could?
08:44Oh, hey,
08:44just let me try.
08:46I would appreciate that.
08:48Yeah.
08:49So would the tourist industry.
08:54Sir,
08:55Mr. Cotterman's all set.
08:58Okay,
08:58thank you, Lovett.
08:59You're welcome, sir.
09:00I mean,
09:00considering I wasn't
09:01even prepared.
09:02Lovett!
09:03What?
09:04All right,
09:05uh,
09:06maybe at lunchtime
09:07you can run home and change.
09:08Thank you, sir.
09:09I already thought of that,
09:10but with the lunchtime traffic,
09:12I...
09:12We'll see how it goes, sir.
09:14Fine.
09:16Fine.
09:20Captain,
09:20I'm all done.
09:21Thank you for your cooperation.
09:23Glad we could be of help this time.
09:24Well, thank you.
09:25Did you sign a complaint?
09:26Hey!
09:27I don't care about my lips.
09:29You can't go through with this.
09:30All right, Ken,
09:31let's enough.
09:31Sit down.
09:32I got a request.
09:32I'm putting you in the cage.
09:34Please call this number.
09:36Just ask him on a hand.
09:37He'll explain everything.
09:38Come on, let's go.
09:38Please, I...
09:39No, I won't go crazy again.
09:40Please.
09:41Damn it!
09:41My life is in danger!
09:43Oh, no!
09:45You're not gonna keep me up at night,
09:47crack with guilt.
09:49Hold the number.
09:59All right, Woj,
10:00I'll try to do it.
10:01Thank you, thank you.
10:02God bless you.
10:03Okay, okay.
10:03Thanks.
10:06God bless you.
10:08Right.
10:08Sit.
10:11Stop.
10:13That's it.
10:15No more.
10:26Dietrich.
10:30Um...
10:33I owe you a debt which I will never be able to repay totally.
10:40But I'm gonna try like hell.
10:44Hey, it was nothing.
10:45Forget it.
10:46You'd like that, wouldn't you?
10:49Listen, it was part of the job.
10:51You would have done the same thing for me.
10:56I'm afraid I'm gonna have to insist you respond to that.
11:07Don't you want to know the facts, Mr. Monaghan?
11:12Yes, I understand.
11:16Mr. Monaghan's with the Justice Department.
11:19We're not supposed to do anything with Kendall till he gets here.
11:23And that's it?
11:24Something about opening a whole can of worms.
11:26Is that lunch then?
11:34Hello?
11:35Stop!
11:38All right.
11:40You with a mustache?
11:41Walk on by.
11:44Come on, go through.
11:45Come on.
11:46Go through.
11:51You can continue.
12:01I take it you've made provisions for Mr. Baskin?
12:04Uh, yeah, Bon, but I figured air travel was inappropriate,
12:07so I booked him on a locomotive.
12:13You didn't think I had another one in me, did you?
12:19Mr. Monaghan.
12:21Oh, my God.
12:22Who's in charge here?
12:23I'm Captain Miller.
12:25For heaven's sake, Miller,
12:26why didn't you just stick him in a display window?
12:28Look, I'm not too sure I understand what's going on here.
12:31I'm Chester Monaghan,
12:32counsel for the Justice Department.
12:34Which I take it has some kind of interest in Mr. Kendall?
12:37Interest in Kendall?
12:40Captain,
12:41we created Kendall.
12:45Will my office do?
12:47Yes, thank you.
12:48Listen, what's going on?
12:49This will just take a few minutes.
12:52Thank God you got here, Monaghan.
12:55They were out for blood.
12:59You made a mistake coming back here.
13:01You could have been killed.
13:03I don't care about that.
13:05But you made us look bad.
13:12He's here to help me.
13:15Hey, I've got two fifth row orchestra seats
13:21for the Philharmonic tonight.
13:22You want them?
13:23They're yours.
13:24Uh, no, thanks.
13:25I'm busy.
13:27Well, uh,
13:29it'll mean calling in a lot of favors,
13:31but, uh,
13:33I think I can get you into Studio 54 this Saturday.
13:35I was there for the opening.
13:39Uh, Arthur, look,
13:41I've got, um,
13:42three vacation days coming.
13:44Take them.
13:45Harris, you don't owe me anything.
13:47Look, I'm sorry, man,
13:48but that's just the way I feel, you know?
13:49So, uh,
13:50if there's anything,
13:51I mean anything you want,
13:53please feel free to ask.
13:55Can I call you Ron?
13:56No.
13:58I knew I was pushing.
14:02His name is not Kendall.
14:04I didn't think he looked like a Kendall.
14:07I didn't choose a name anyway.
14:08That's somebody else's job.
14:13And, uh,
14:14your job, Mr. Monaghan, is, uh...
14:16Captain,
14:17in 1975,
14:19Kendall testified
14:20against some
14:22very powerful
14:23and dangerous people.
14:25They were all convicted.
14:28And as a witness,
14:29his life was in danger,
14:31so you gave him a new identity.
14:32We found that
14:34keeping them alive
14:35provides an incentive
14:36to the others.
14:39I can see where it would.
14:41There's only one problem,
14:43Mr. Monaghan.
14:44Your Mr.
14:46Kendall
14:46has committed
14:47armed robbery.
14:49So?
14:53So,
14:54he's under arrest.
14:55No, I'm afraid
14:56that's out of the question.
14:59No, no, no.
14:59You don't seem to understand.
15:02Uh, this is a citizen's complaint.
15:04We, uh,
15:04have no power
15:05to drop this charge.
15:06Then the citizen
15:07will have to be persuaded.
15:09Oh, maybe
15:11duty to country,
15:12protecting human life,
15:13that sort of angle.
15:17I'm afraid
15:18that sort of angle
15:19is not going to be
15:20very effective
15:21with a shopkeeper
15:22who has been robbed
15:23five times.
15:25Mr. Cotterman
15:25is quite anxious
15:26to see Mr. Kendall
15:27in prison.
15:27And I sympathize
15:29with him.
15:30Kendall is
15:30the scum
15:31of the earth.
15:32A snitch,
15:34a low-life,
15:36petty criminal
15:37who'd turn in
15:38his grandmother
15:38if he thought
15:39it would benefit him.
15:40He should be in jail.
15:42He should be removed
15:43from human society
15:44permanently.
15:45But it's my job
15:47to protect
15:48that valueless,
15:49insignificant life.
15:54Do you enjoy
15:54your work,
15:55Mr. Monahan?
15:56Love it.
16:01All right.
16:02Come on, Baskin.
16:03Let's go.
16:04Where are we going?
16:05Downstairs
16:05for pictures, prints,
16:06and then to the hospital.
16:07Hospital?
16:08No, well,
16:09listen, I'm not ailing.
16:11They'll help you.
16:13I'm just a little tired.
16:14They'll let you sleep.
16:16Come on.
16:19Afternoon.
16:21Can't tell by you.
16:23Beg your pardon?
16:26Nothing.
16:29Come on.
16:34Captain,
16:34may I ask you now
16:35what's going on?
16:38Yes, Mr. Cotterman.
16:40This is Mr. Monahan.
16:42He's with the
16:42Justice Department.
16:43He has a few words
16:43to say to you.
16:44This is Mr. Cotterman.
16:45How do you do, sir?
16:46How do you do?
16:47Mr. Cotterman,
16:48although the robbery
16:49which occurred
16:49in your establishment
16:50was unfortunate,
16:52I'm afraid that we...
16:57We, the federal government,
16:59that is,
17:00are forced to ask you
17:01to indulge us
17:02in this matter.
17:04What matter?
17:06Hey, Wojo.
17:06He's right.
17:08What do you want
17:09with my indulgence?
17:11Mr. Cotterman,
17:12Mr. Kendall here
17:13is not who he appears
17:15to be.
17:16I'm not.
17:17I swear.
17:18He's actually
17:19somebody else.
17:22This is gibberish.
17:24All federal people
17:25talk that way,
17:26Mr. Cotterman.
17:28Well, they do.
17:31Cotterman,
17:31what Mr. Monahan
17:32is trying to say
17:33is that Mr. Kendall here,
17:34that's not his real name,
17:36Mr. Kendall was given
17:37a new identity
17:38by the government
17:39for his protection.
17:41You see,
17:42he was a witness
17:43in a very important case
17:45and...
17:47Well,
17:48if he were to go to jail
17:49now under the circumstances...
17:50If I were to go to jail,
17:51I wouldn't last a week.
17:53All right.
17:54Eight.
17:54Nine days tops.
17:57So, uh,
17:58if I don't press charges?
18:01Then we'll give him
18:02a new identity
18:03and relocate him again.
18:05No.
18:06Excuse me.
18:07Did he say no?
18:09A knife for an eye
18:10and a tooth for a tooth.
18:12He robbed me.
18:13I want his eye,
18:14his tooth,
18:15his whole body
18:15sent to prison.
18:16But that too...
18:19Captain,
18:19can I go now?
18:20No, you may not go.
18:22No, don't.
18:23Please don't go.
18:24Stay a while.
18:27Captain.
18:31Tell him
18:31about the duty
18:33to country,
18:33protecting a life,
18:34all that stuff.
18:35You remember.
18:35Captain,
18:36can I please go home?
18:39Mr. Cotterman,
18:40you can leave
18:41whenever you want.
18:41Thanks.
18:43Provided you understand
18:44what it is that
18:45Mr. Monaghan
18:46has been trying
18:47to say to you.
18:49The fact of the matter
18:50is that if
18:51Mr. Kendall
18:52goes to jail now,
18:53the odds are,
18:56and I know of no
18:57pretty way to put this,
18:59the odds are
19:01he will be killed.
19:06you will have
19:07the satisfaction
19:09of seeing him
19:11punished for his crime.
19:17Why don't you
19:18check over your statement?
19:19Levitt,
19:20can I have a statement?
19:20Sure.
19:23Yes.
19:24Thank you, Levitt.
19:27Here, have a seat over here.
19:28You can just
19:29check it for accuracy.
19:32Uh, yes.
19:33Yes, and
19:34last Christmas
19:35somebody gave me
19:36one of those
19:36video ping pong games
19:38that you hook up
19:38to your TV.
19:39Mm-hmm.
19:40I tell you,
19:41that little ball
19:41made me crazy.
19:42I kept trying
19:43to talk it down.
19:44Oh, I see.
19:46Yeah.

19:48Oh.
19:51Barney,

19:53is downstairs
19:54for Mr. Baskin.
19:55All right,
19:57relax.
19:58I'll have Levitt
19:58take him down.
20:00Now, Levitt.
20:00Sir.
20:01You want to run
20:02Mr. Baskin
20:03down in the ambulance?
20:04Glad to, sir.
20:05Levitt.
20:05Sir.
20:07That outfit.
20:09Well, thank you, sir.
20:10I, uh,
20:11I had to improvise.
20:12I didn't have enough
20:12time to go home,
20:13so I rented this.
20:15Rented it?
20:16Yeah, shop around
20:17the corner,
20:17only 20 bucks.
20:18It's tax deductible
20:19as a business expense.
20:20I figure,
20:20what the hell?
20:24Besides,
20:24I'd hate to embarrass you.
20:26What if we had
20:26a surprise inspection?
20:30What if?
20:32Right, sir.
20:35Okay, let's go, Baskin.
20:36The ambulance is waiting.
20:37Uh, Levitt,
20:38you,
20:38you better wear
20:39your badge
20:40on the outside.
20:41Right.
20:43Okay, goodbye, everybody.
20:47Good luck, Mr. Baskin.
20:49Happy landings.
20:50You too.
20:51And you will,
20:52as long as there are
20:53guys like me on the job.
20:55Oh, I don't mean like this.
20:56I know I need a little
20:57rest period now,
20:58but I want you to know
21:00that me and the guys
21:01that work with me
21:02will always take care
21:03of you people
21:04when you're up there.
21:06And we appreciate it.
21:09Do you realize
21:10that it's safer
21:11to fly in an airplane
21:12than it is
21:12to ride in a car?
21:14That's true.
21:15But you don't need a ramp
21:16to get out of the car.
21:20Maybe I need a little
21:21rest myself.
21:28Here you go.
21:31File it with the rest of them.
21:35You think I want to look
21:36at that face
21:37in my dreams every night?
21:38Better he should be set free.
21:40Mr. Kahneman,
21:42the Justice Department
21:44appreciates it.
21:45Justice?
21:46Huh!
21:48I had revenge
21:49in my heart
21:50just like everybody else.
21:55Revenge is sweet, Captain.
21:57Very sweet.
22:00But I'm trying
22:01to cut down.
22:08Okay, Kendall,
22:10let's go.
22:11Oh, Mr. Monaghan,
22:12I really appreciate you
22:13taking this...
22:13You've stained my record.
22:15I'm sorry.
22:16Maybe I couldn't help myself
22:17and I...
22:18You ever heard of
22:21Kansas?
22:22What?
22:24Thank you, Captain.
22:26We appreciate your assistance.
22:27Kendall?
22:28Mr. Monaghan,
22:29it's a little cruel.
22:30You know what's in
22:31Kansas, Mr. Kendall?
22:33What?
22:35Wheat.
22:41Sounded like wheat.
22:43Didn't it?
22:51Well, gentlemen.
22:54It's a long day.
22:58Dietrich.

23:03settle this little score
23:04between us once and for all.

23:07you're going a little too far
23:08with this, Ray.

23:12feel bad.

23:15feel good.

23:19to offer money.
23:20I don't want any money.
23:24Name your price.
23:25$100.

23:48All right.
23:52There you go.
23:52Thanks.
23:54Yeah.

23:59Hey, Dietrich.
24:02You will cash it.
24:15He wouldn't.
24:17He would serve you right
24:18if he did.
