00:01What's the matter, Nick?
00:02Oh, boy.
00:04Got an upset stomach.
00:06Something you ate?
00:08I think the fish I ate last night
00:09didn't agree with me.
00:12Spoiled.
00:13No. Cook.
00:2112th precinct, Sergeant Dietrich.
00:23Uh, just a second.
00:24Higher restaurant?
00:25Uh, it's in the bathroom.
00:26Hold on a minute.
00:30Harris?
00:32Hello, Dietrich.
00:33Got a phone call for you.
00:36I'll take it in here.
00:40I was just kidding.
00:42Take a message.
00:43Oh, sure.
00:44Uh, you know, that's a good idea.
00:46What's that?
00:47Extension cords.
00:50Nick, how'd we fix for that DeMarco file?
00:55Barney, you sure you gave it to me?
00:56Oh, don't tell me you lost it.
00:58It's not lost.
01:00Uh, it's currently not available for viewing.
01:04Nick, that file has to be in the district attorney's office today.
01:09Late afternoon.
01:12That file is a nightmare.
01:14There's no system to it.
01:16No, no organization.
01:17There is, there are files in there that should have been thrown out ten years ago.
01:20It's a mindless hodgepodge of useless information.
01:23I had plans to reorganize the whole thing.
01:27Really?
01:28I had plans to ask you to do just that.
01:31We think along the same line.
01:38Good morning.
01:39Good morning.
01:40Good morning.
01:41Good morning.
01:42Good morning.
01:48I'm Captain Miller.
01:49Oh, Abel Kleiner.
01:51Pleased to meet you, Captain.
01:53My pleasure.
01:54What can we do for you?
01:55Well, if it's not too much trouble, I would like to have some copies of your wanted posters.
02:01Uh, one of, uh, of Mr. Jackson there and, uh, uh, uh, Mr. Clinton and, uh, uh, uh, Miss LaSalle,
02:10uh, the forger.
02:13Could you give me a reason?
02:15I'm a bounty hunter.
02:18Oh.
02:19Well, you hadn't mentioned it, huh?
02:21Well, I just got back from the post office.
02:23They pay pretty good.
02:25300 for check fraud.
02:27500 for mail theft.
02:30Pardon me, Mr. Kleiner.
02:32I'm, I'm a bit bewildered.
02:33I, I, I don't...
02:34It's very simple.
02:35I got here a collection of wanted persons.
02:40They're all cross-indexed and they're all up to date.
02:45I keep my eyes open.
02:49You, you do this for a living?
02:51Well, listen.
02:52I retired two years ago.
02:54So I got plenty of time for myself.
02:57So it keeps me busy and it helps with the groceries a little.
03:02I'm surprised we haven't, uh, seen you around here before.
03:05Oh, I just moved into your precinct from Brooklyn.
03:09I see. So you've come to check the, uh, local supply of criminals.
03:12Right.
03:13My first rule is to establish a good working relationship with the police in the area.
03:20Very conscientious of you.
03:21Uh, listen.
03:22I, I, I can't do it all by myself.
03:26That's true.
03:27So, listen, uh, uh, how about the posters?
03:31Huh?
03:32Mr. Kleiner, I'm afraid that police department policy is not to distribute those circulars to the general public.
03:39I'm a professional.
03:42Mr. Kleiner, you know what would really get our relationship off to a good start?
03:46If you would give, uh, some information to Sergeant Wojohowicz here, your, uh, your qualifications, your, uh, credentials, uh, your
03:55intentions, and then we'll see where we go from there.
03:57My pleasure, of course.
04:00Of course.
04:00Stop.
04:00Have a seat, Mr. Kleiner.
04:01I'll be right with you.
04:05Uh, we, we appreciate your cooperation.
04:07Uh, Captain, I think we're gonna work together very well.
04:11I certainly hope so.
04:16He's an unusual bounty hunter.
04:18Ain't exactly Steve McQueen.
04:21Why would he be?
04:25Steve McQueen.
04:27Used to be a bounty hunter on television.
04:29Oh.
04:30Yeah, he, uh, he was Josh Randall on Wanted Dead or Alive.
04:34I didn't know that.
04:36You're not the only esoteric person around here.
04:39That's right.
04:40Nice!
04:48Hall of precinct, Sergeant Dutrick.
04:50This, Audrey.
04:53Okay, I got you.
04:58Captain got a, uh, disturbance eighth in Broadway.
05:01Who you on with today?
05:02Harris.
05:04Uh, okay, you two.
05:06Harris, you and me.
05:10That was, uh, Regina Gregory that called before
05:13Oh, yeah?
05:14I told her you'd call her back when she got out of the bathroom
05:17You told her I was in the bathroom?
05:20That's where you were
05:21I know
05:22But I mean, that's no need to go destroying people's illusions
05:26Oh, I'm sorry, I thought she knew
05:34Uh, Nick, uh, you can, uh
05:37Forget about looking for the DeMarco file
05:40Oh, yeah?
05:41Yeah, I, uh, found it on my desk
05:44It was under a whole big pile of, uh
05:47I must have forgotten to put it back
05:50Oh
05:54Look, I'm sorry for blowing up at you before I, um
05:57Oh, that's all
05:57No, no, no, look, you know, before I run off at the mouth
06:00I should know what I'm talking about
06:01Make sure I'm not the culprit, you know
06:03Forget it
06:04No, no, I owe you one
06:07Okay
06:10Uh, I, I will need that Bonaventure report, though
06:16We're even
06:17We're even
06:22Thank you
07:33Okay. Here we go.
07:35You know, everybody's offering rewards.
07:38The FBI, the post office, the Kiwanis Club.
07:42Nobody ever takes advantage of them.
07:45Yeah, well, uh, it's good to see someone taking an interest.
07:50You know, I go up to Times Square, Central Park.
07:53On a good day, you could spot maybe seven, eight hundred dollars worth of people.
07:59That's true.
08:00Yeah.
08:01Listen, uh, Mr. Kleiner, sit there just a minute for me, all right?
08:04Yeah, sure.
08:06Hey, Mark?
08:07I, uh, I checked him out.
08:10He's harmless enough.
08:11Just got sort of a weird hobby.
08:15Uh, Mr. Kleiner, we, uh, really appreciate you coming down here so we can get acquainted.
08:21Do I get the posters?
08:22And, uh, thank you for your interest in our efforts.
08:25I don't get the posters.
08:27Mr. Kleiner, there are, there are people on those circulars that are armed and dangerous.
08:34They got nothing against me.
08:37I would feel personally responsible if anything happened.
08:40Here you go.
08:41Captain, I'm not a foolish person.
08:44Mr. Kleiner, please.
08:45This is not a whim of an old man.
08:48I've studied these people for hours, for days.
08:51I've imprinted their, their features, their bills, their characteristics indelibly on my mind.
08:57Mr. Kleiner, I really believe there are certain areas best left to those of us that are
09:03better equipped and better trained.
09:08Whatever you say, Captain.
09:12Uh, by the way, uh, you got a poster up there of a Vincent Falco.
09:20Extortion, armed robbery.
09:23The FBI captured him last June.
09:30Well, I'm...
09:32I guess we'll take it down.
09:35You're the experts.
09:38Okay, Mr. Altman, come on, right this way.
09:40We are talking about a physiological dependency.
09:43I, I, I can't control that.
09:46Okay, it's a sickness.
09:49When you get hooked on that white powder,
09:52it makes you do crazy things.
09:55Harris?
09:56Yeah?
09:57Addict?
09:57Uh-huh.
09:58Heroin, huh?
09:59Sugar.
10:01Sugar.
10:02Of course.
10:03How stupid of you.
10:05Captain Miller, this is Howard Altman.
10:07Mr. Altman?
10:08You people think that I'm some kind of a nut, but haven't you read the articles?
10:12Read all, all the medical reports.
10:15Sugar is killing this entire country.
10:17Okay, okay.
10:17Take it easy.
10:18Uh, what happened?
10:19According to witnesses, he accosted a lady in Audrey's sweet shop by Ethan Broadway.
10:24What'd he do?
10:25Grab the lady's nougat.
10:28And he ran out of the shop.
10:30I, I, I had to have a fix.
10:33When we, uh, caught up with him a couple blocks away, Barn, he was, uh, cramming the junk in his
10:38face.
10:39I, I'm not kidding.
10:41I was desperate.
10:42Couldn't you wait until they waited on you?
10:44They went by my number.
10:46You had one of those little ticket dispensers?
10:48I had number 27.
10:50They called 2828.
10:52I showed them my number 27, and they refused to go back.
10:56Candy shop policy.
10:58That lady, I was ahead of her.
10:59Uh, Mr. Altman, that does not give you license to, uh, resort to violence.
11:03Look, I can't help it.
11:06It's a disease.
11:07I see.
11:08Uh, why don't you, uh, tell Sergeant Dietrich all about it, huh?
11:11Yeah, okay.
11:12You want to have a seat over there, Mr. Altman?
11:13Are you, are you going to book me now?
11:14Sure, look.
11:15Five desks, no waiting.
11:18I appreciate that.
11:28Something the matter, Nick?
11:29Oh, I don't know.
11:30Uh, I feel overheated, and the next minute,
11:33I ain't got chills.
11:35Uh, I hope I'm not coming down with something.
11:38Strange how filing always seems to bring out
11:40hitherto dormant disorders in you.
11:45Maybe I'm allergic to...
11:48Manila.
11:50Try and carry on, huh?
11:58Actually, it's only been since about 500 A.D.
12:01that sugar as we know it has been in existence.
12:02Sure, sure.
12:03It's been killing us ever since.
12:05It wasn't until then that a scientist
12:07at the University of Jansapur
12:08and the Persian Empire
12:09developed a process for solidifying
12:11and refining the juice of cane
12:13into solid form that could be
12:14efficiently stored and transported.
12:17I didn't know that.
12:19You might even call him
12:20the father of refined sugar.
12:22You know, you're the first person
12:24to take this thing seriously.
12:25Or the sugar daddy.
12:33Oh, oh.
12:34What's the matter?
12:34Nick, you all right, man?
12:37Barney?
12:38Let's take it easy.
12:39What's going on?
12:40I don't know.
12:41Uh, what would you call the doctor?
12:42Yeah.
12:42Where does it hurt?
12:43Oh, down here.
12:45It could be his appendix.
12:47Great.
12:47All right, just try and relax,
12:48make yourself as comfortable as possible.
12:51Anything we can do for you?
12:52Yeah.
12:55File this.
13:05Yeah.
13:05Hey, uh, Nick, look,
13:06you want to try and sit up?
13:07Yeah, eventually, eventually.
13:08All right, whatever's the most comfortable.
13:10Just hang in there.
13:11Yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:11Yeah, right, sharp pain
13:12in the lower right abdomen, right.
13:15Uh, uh, just a minute.
13:16Hey, Nick, he wants to know
13:17if you got nausea.
13:19You know, bleh.
13:22Richard mentioned this.
13:23Yeah, he's got it.
13:25Uh, just a minute.
13:27Uh, is the pain getting more?
13:28Oh!
13:29He says yes.
13:31Let's see.
13:32Uh, he thinks he's got, uh, appendicitis.
13:35Oh, my God.
13:37It's from sugar.
13:38It infects.
13:39It eats away at all your organs.
13:40Will you keep your opinions
13:41to yourself, Mr. Aubin?
13:42It's an insidious demon
13:43holding you.
13:44Come on, just keep it.
13:45Oh, shh.
13:46Anybody got some chocolate?
13:49You know, I just got to keep him
13:51on his back
13:51until the ambulance gets up.
13:52All right, now,
13:53you think you can make it
13:53to the couch in my office?
13:55All right, excuse me, Captain,
13:55but with appendicitis patients,
13:56it's best to put them
13:57on a hard surface.
13:58Oh.
13:59Look, what do you want us to do?
14:00Put him on the floor here
14:01like a sack of potatoes?
14:02I don't think that's
14:03a fair metaphor.
14:03Yeah, well...
14:04Gentlemen, may we discuss
14:06the literary merits
14:07another time?
14:07Yeah.
14:07Okay, okay, I got it.
14:08All right, we're supposed
14:09to keep his back
14:10as flat as possible.
14:11All right, uh,
14:12Wojo, clear off your desk.
14:13We'll put him there.
14:13Come on, come on.
14:14Just take it, take it.
14:15Okay, we'll slide you down.
14:16Easy, easy.
14:16Okay, okay, let me get you
14:17over there.
14:24Okay, let's get you up there.
14:28Yeah, I can make it.
14:29I can make it.
14:30I got it.
14:31Okay, there you go.
14:32We're going to need
14:33something under his head.
14:34Okay, come on.
14:35All right, now, there you go.
14:37Hey, man,
14:38that is custom
14:39Italian corduroy.
14:41Oh, sorry.
14:43It's just, uh,
14:44not even a consideration.
14:46We're supposed to, uh,
14:48uh, keep some ice on him
14:49in case the, uh,
14:50oh, okay,
14:51just find some ice on him.
14:54Ooh.
14:55Where?
14:56There must be some
14:57in the building.
14:58Come on.
14:58There's some on the furnace.
15:01Uh, just don't,
15:01don't try and talk.
15:02Sorry.
15:03There's a soft drink
15:04machine downstairs.
15:05There's probably some there.
15:05Good idea.
15:06Go ahead.
15:07Let's take it.
15:08Got any change?
15:10Yeah, yeah.
15:10Uh-oh.
15:12Borrow some.
15:14Is there a candy machine
15:15down there?
15:15Hey, I'll take anything.
15:17I don't care.
15:17A Hershey.
15:18You got it.
15:19Look, is there anything else
15:20we can get for you, Nick?
15:22I don't think so, Harris.
15:24Anybody wants to call?
15:25Uh, there's a three-horse
15:27parlay at Balmont.
15:29Tell him about relatives.
15:30Come on.
15:30Oh, no.
15:32Oh.
15:33Look, look, look.
15:34The ambulance is going to be here
15:35any moment.
15:36So just, just try to relax.
15:37Just try to relax.
15:39I'll tell you what, uh,
15:40why don't you close your eyes,
15:41try to get, maybe take a nap, huh?
15:43Uh, but we're here.
15:44We're right here.
15:44And, uh, if you need anything,
15:46just, just holler.
15:47Uh, ask.
15:50Weird.
15:51I mean, it coming on so sudden.
15:52That's true.
15:53Normally there's two, three hours
15:54warning pain before the attack.
15:56Gives you plenty of time
15:57to get the person to hospital.
15:58Sure.
15:58Uh, well, um, actually, he, uh,
16:03he did complain of pain before.
16:06Oh?
16:08Well, I mean, I, I didn't take him seriously.
16:11I thought, I thought he was joking.
16:13Uh-huh.
16:15You got a dry sense of humor.
16:19This won't show with the damn ice.
16:21Let's do it, gentlemen.
16:23Let it, what?
16:24Heck, it's one o'clock.
16:25So?
16:26Well, you promised me a few moments
16:28to review certain highlights
16:29of my service records, sir.
16:30Leavitt, Leavitt.
16:31Oh, have I come at an opportune time, sir?
16:34Well, uh, yes.
16:35Matter of fact,
16:35we're having a little difficulty.
16:37Uh, Sergeant Yamana is not well.
16:38Yes, I noticed he wasn't at his usual desk.
16:42No, it's nothing serious.
16:43Uh, we're taking care of it,
16:44but in the meantime,
16:45we will have to postpone our little meeting.
16:47I understand, sir.
16:482.30?
16:49Leavitt.
16:50No, bad time for me, too, sir.
16:53Captain Miller!
16:54I'm back.
16:55What is it, Mr. Kleiner?
16:57I got one.
16:59One what?
16:59Victor Jurassic.
17:00Wanted for mail fraud
17:02and interstate flight
17:02to avoid prosecution.
17:04Mr. Kleiner.
17:05$600.
17:05Mr. Kleiner,
17:06we're a little busy
17:07around here right now.
17:08I spotted him on 7th Avenue.
17:10I trailed him for 15 blocks
17:12down to his flophouse
17:14on the Bowery.
17:14He's there now.
17:16You're the bounty hunter.
17:17What do you want from us?
17:18You're the backup.
17:20Why don't you have a seat, Mr. Kleiner?
17:21Just, just, just sit down right there.
17:22I got a $600 package
17:25down at the Ace Hotel.
17:26I don't have time
17:27to sit down.
17:28Mr. Kleiner,
17:29I thought we came
17:29to an understanding
17:30this morning.
17:31All right, all right.
17:32We'll split 50-50,
17:34but that's all.
17:38Whoa, Joe.
17:39What did you get me?
17:40I didn't have any ice.
17:41What do you got in there?
17:43Obstacles.
17:44Obstacles?
17:44I'll take one of those.
17:46Please.
17:47Explosive water.
17:49Captain,
17:50I'm going alone,
17:51by myself.
17:52God willing,
17:53I'll be back in an hour.
17:58Mr. Kleiner,
17:59are you perfectly certain
18:00that the man you saw
18:01is this man in the picture?
18:02Captain,
18:04these eyes
18:04don't make a mistake.
18:09Uh, Levitt!
18:12Why don't you go
18:13with Mr. Kleiner here?
18:14He may have located
18:15a wanted person.
18:16Yes, sir.
18:17Would you have something
18:19in a larger policeman?
18:21Officer Levitt
18:22is a perfectly competent,
18:23highly trained,
18:24well-qualified officer.
18:27What the hell?
18:28What the hell?
18:28What the hell?
18:29What the hell?
18:30What the hell?
18:30What the hell?
18:31What the hell?
18:31What the hell?
18:32I'm sorry.
18:33Forgive me.
18:34I appreciate that, sir.
18:35That's okay, Levitt.
18:36Maybe you'd like to note
18:36that on my service truck.
18:37Levitt!
18:38No hurry, sir.
18:39All right, Kleiner,
18:40let's move out.
18:51Well, he, uh,
18:51says the popsicles
18:52are open.
18:53That's good.
18:54I want to know
18:55when is that ambulance
18:56going to get here?
18:57I don't know,
18:57but the doc says
18:58that if a pen
18:59expers before you
19:00take it out,
