CHiPs (1977–1983): Season 1, Episode 13 - One Two Many - full transcript
Complaints come into headquarters about Jon when a fake CHP officer resembling him causes problems along the highway during traffic stops.
What? Me?
How dare you? That's the crudest
remark I've ever heard.
Esta bien? Esta bien?
- Ooh.
- It's okay. It's..
...it's okay,
we'll get you to a hospital.
Okay, okay, okay.
Por favor.
My wife, she have a baby now!
It's okay. Okay.
Hey!
'Hey, come back!'
Hey, come back!
Hey, don't leave me!
'Come back, officer!'
Ten minutes? More like 30.
It was an emergency.
I'll split it
with you. Fifteen.
Yeah, well, now I know
why you're always broke.
You can't add.
Come on, what happened?
My motor home
had a sudden illness.
The generator died.
No electricity,
no water pressure
no air conditioning, no nothing.
I had to get
a mechanic to fix it.
A mechanic? You need a surgeon.
Alright, you can laugh
but you got a home
you got a place to stay.
All I got
is an emergency on wheels.
Thirty minute emergency.
We'll have to see
if Getraer thinks so.
Hey, he's just a sergeant.
Nobody asked him to think.
Help! Help!
Over here! Help me, please!
Over here! Come! Over here!
'Help! Help, please!'
You came back. Gracias,
gracias,you came back.
- Very good.
- What do you mean I came back?
'11-82 Northbound
on Hollywood at Alvarado.'
Quick, mi esposa.
Hey, Ponch,
call for an ambulance.
'Make sure
it's equipped for a premature.'
'This lady
doesn't have much time.'
- 'Easy, easy.'
- LA. 15..
...roll a county rescue
for emergency in childbirth.
Just a minute now.
I'm afraid.
I'm afraid.
There you are. There you are.
There you are, uh.
Okay, now,
just bear down. Relax, okay.
Let Mother Nature
take its course.
- 'Bear down.'
- I'm-I'm afraid.
No, no, I can't.
- 'No.'
- Deep breathing.
'Come on, come on.
Just take it easy.'
I can't, I can't, I can't.
I'm gonna lose my baby.
'No, no, no. You're not.'
Just hang on.
Everything's gonna be okay.
'Oh, please,
it's our first baby.'
We can't lose it.
Nothing can happen.
'Please don't
let nothing happen.'
Oh. everything
is gonna be great.
Everything's gonna be great.
We do this all the time.
Yeah, we do this
all the time. We're experts.
- We're specialists.
- Yeah.
I'm the second best
baby deliverer in the world.
He's the first. You're a very
lucky woman, you know that?
Thank you. Gracias.
'You know,
at least you have a car.'
My mother had me in a bus.
And look how beautiful
I turned out, eh?
Ugh! No. No. Gracias.
Okay, j-just bear down
one last time, okay?
Just bear down one last time.
Ponch, look.
I'm a father! I'm a father!
I'm a father.
Hey, no cigars. I'm sorry.
Next time, I have, huh?
- It's a girl!
- No, it's a boy.
Okay, it's a boy!
- 'Hey, where were you guys?'
- Delivering a baby.
Yeah, well,
welcome to the club.
Ah.
Hey, partner,
you were beautiful.
You got hands of a surgeon,
did you know that?
Yeah, well, I had a little
help from Mother Nature.
But, uh, hey, you didn't do
too bad yourself.
Yeah, I guess
I did pretty good, huh?
I did do
a terrific job. Ha, ha!
- Thank you.
- Hey, it's okay.
- Gracias, gracias.
- Anytime.
- 'Thank you.'
- Ha-ha ha.
- Congratulations.
- 'Gracias.'
What a life.
I bring a baby into the world
and become an orphan myself.
All in one day.
Okay, Ponch, I tell you what.
If your motor home isn't fixed
you can move
into my apartment.
I thought you'd never ask.
- 'That's--'
- For a little while.
Well, if it isn't Ponch
the pediatrician.
Congratulations, guys.
You cheapskate.
It was a whole baby.
Hey, uh, my wife
is four months along.
Are you guys
gonna be available?
Dr. Jon would be okay.
But sure got an ugly nurse.
What do you guys know?
You're car cops. Ha!
Hey! We do know Getraer wants
to see you guys on the double.
I wonder what Getraer
wants with us.
Probably wants to offer
congratulations.
Hi, sarge. Wanna see us?
Uh, yeah. Uh, you guys
wanna take a seat?
I bet you wanna offer
congratulations
on the delivery
of a beautiful baby girl, huh?
Uh, Ponch, baby boy,
remember, baby boy?
Hey, either way, it was a baby.
Hey, and it wasn't easy, sarge.
I mean, the strain alone
can wear down a normal man.
Yet, uh, me and my
faithful partner here, uh
we delivered new life
into this world
under the most adverse
conditions, sarge.
Fine, Frank, fine.
Now, would you mind
sitting down?
Look, uh..
I had a complaint today.
Seems that one of my,
uh, motor officers
was a little more than charming
to a certain female motorist.
'I believe the term's
called "coming on strong."'
The, uh, young lady checked the
squad pictures out in the hall
and, uh, picked you out, Jon.
Wait a minute, she picked me?
Yeah and
it's more than just being
a little friendly
with the ladies, uh.
She claims that you upset her
and she pulled out
into traffic without looking.
- Eh, I wasn't even there.
- I know you weren't, Jon.
But that couple
you played doctor for?
Well, they identified her car
as the one that cut 'em off
and you as the officer involved.
In fact, she said that you, uh,
came to check him out once
and then left
to get your partner.
Listen, I don't care
what they said.
It's not true. I was--
Jon, I believe you,
you know that.
Alright, then,
why don't we go out--
Look, departmental procedure..
...departmental procedure
says that I have got to
follow through with the report,
don't you understand?
Yeah, yeah, I understand.
Look, you were the only one
on the beat at that time.
And that girl says she
spoke to a uniformed officer
and swears it was you.
Uh, sarge, uh
maybe it was one
of those, uh, play cops.
Yeah, right,
I mean, one of those whackos
that gets off thinking
they're one of us.
Uh, that's what
I've been thinking.
It's a possibility, and if so
uh, well, this guy's dangerous.
Well, look, anyway,
for the record
look, y-you guys
never ride alone
and they say
this officer was alone.
Ah, uh, wait a minute,
Ponch, as a matter--
Hey, hey, Jon, uh,
we better get going.
Don't worry, Sarge'll
take care of everything.
Right, sarge, right?
See you later.
Hey, come on, old buddy.
We gotta get going. He's busy.
We've taken enough
of his time, come on.
Yeah, uh, you guys can, uh, go.
Hey, Ponch, uh...you really
didn't have to cover for me.
Hey, I wasn't.
I was covering for me.
It was my emergency, remember?
Yeah.
What I can't
understand is how that girl
could say she could identify me.
I wasn't even there.
Hey, come on, Jon.
Between the glasses,
the uniform and the helmet
the public can't tell us apart.
You know, uh, you've seen one,
you've seen 'em all.
Pull it over!
Alright, I wanna see
everybody's license
and registration, please.
Uh, may I see
your, uh, driver's license
and registration, please?
Uh, look, officer
I'm really sorry about this.
But this really
isn't my fault, you see.
Yeah, well,
you were going over 80
you're weaving
in and out of traffic.
I mean,
if you keep that rate up
you're gonna be
celebrating a funeral
instead of a wedding.
Yes, sir.
Will you knock it off?
Must be the champagne.
Wait a minute.
You've been drinking?
Oh, no, no, sir, not me.
Uh, she has, uh,
my girlfriend. I mean, my wife.
Just a few glasses, that's all.
Oh. Heh.
Thank you.
'Look, I'm sorry about this.'
We're just trying to get away on
our honeymoon, you see
And, well, these are my
friends back here, they, uh..
'...they followed me
from the party here.'
'We're just trying to get away.'
'They think,
you know, just fooling around.'
Today.
Hey, look, I'm sorry if I caused
any problems. My friends too.
You know, they just think
it's funny doing this.
Hey, it'd be funny at 55.
Yes, sir. I tell you,
I-I'm really sorry about that.
See, I was trying to outrun 'em.
I'm in the Navy. I just got
a couple days' leave.
Uh, ah, I'm trying
to get away, that's all.
- Yeah, uh, you're on leave?
- 'Yes, sir.'
Okay, uh, I'll be with you
in just a minute, alright?
The guy probably
has a 24-hour leave too.
- Alright, where's Dorfner?
- Hey, Ponch, uh, listen.
Hey, uh, partner, you're gonna
have to help me out with this.
It's gonna take an hour
to write these up.
- An hour?
- At least, yeah.
That's just enough time.
What are you talking about?
Okay, I'll tell you what.
I'll give
you an hour's head start
on your buddies back there
and, uh, just keep
it at 55 and just
consider it a present from
the California Highway Patrol.
- Terrific.
- Thank you, officer.
You're really super.
- Yeah.
- Thank you.
Thank you. I really
appreciate this.
You bet. Have a nice honeymoon.
Thank you.
Hey, what happened?
It's okay.
We deliver babies too.
- Huh?
- Uh, they escaped.
How's it going?
'Hey, you take this.'
Okay, Ponch.
And this one.
Oh, matched luggage. Eh, does it
come in any other colors?
Hey, I forgot my weights.
Ponch, you're only gonna
be here one night, remember?
One single night.
Hey, I can't let my body
get flabby, can I?
How are you gonna play
with this thing with no strings?
Oh, I was gonna restring
it while I was here.
Yeah, okay. Here.
Hi, Jon.
Hey, how you doing, Sandy?
Fine, thanks.
I'll talk to you later.
- Okay.
- Who's that?
Uh, just a neighbor.
My hero. Perfect timing. The
bundle on the right is yours.
Uh, thanks a lot, Alice.
'Hey.'
I'll get the door, partner.
Okay, Ponch.
Wow, how do you do it?
Neat as a pin.
- Hey. Hi, Dana.
- Hi, Jon.
Different lifestyles,
Ponch. That's all.
I'm sorry, Jon. I didn't
realize you had company.
Oh, hey, that's okay. I'm Ponch.
And, uh, I'm gonna be staying
here with Jon for a while.
Will I be seeing a lotta you?
I, uh, think
you've seen enough already.
- Hey, let me--
- Hey, uh.
Y-you don't have to go,
can't, can't you stay?
Oh, that's okay.
I'm losing my sun anyway.
I'll see you later. Thanks, Jon.
You bet.
- I'll talk to you later.
- Okay.
- Bye-bye.
- Bye.
- Who is that?
- That is Dana.
Dana, huh?
Hey, come on, Jon, you know
what I mean. What's her story?
She's just a stew
and she's a neighbor and, uh
she doesn't get sun on her side
of the building so she comes
over here and, uh, uses the
terrace whenever she wants.
Yeah, And that
laundry chick, who's that?
Oh, uh...now, see,
that was Alice.
Uh, she's
a legal secretary.
And I supply the quarter,
she does the wash.
She's just
a good friend, that's all.
Yeah, well,
how many friends like that
you got around here, huh?
Uh.
Well, let's see,
There's, um..
...there's Nancy,
she's upstairs.
And she comes and does
the cooking once in a while.
There's, uh,
Charlene. There's Mary.
She does the shopping
once in a while.
Charlene's the one
that comes in
and does a little dusting.
Yeah, well,
how come you didn't tell me
about these lovelies
before, partner?
Hey, I didn't know it was
important to you, okay?
You didn't know
it was important?
Hey, Ponch, I mean,
do you really have to
put all that stuff in there?
Hey, come on. I gotta keep
this stuff fresh.
Oh, come on, that stuff
has enough preservatives
in it to last forever.
Hey, Jon, you know I like
the filling in my Ding Dongs
at a certain temperature?
Oh, yes, so they don't
get gooey, right?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
'Uh, no more rock at this hour.'
Oh, Ponch.
Hey, the roommates look
a little tired this morning.
You bet I'm tired. I mean,
like, how can a man sleep?
Every time I'm about to doze off
another beautiful lady
comes wandering into
the apartment to see
if Jon needs anything.
I mean, like, he's been
adopted by 30 foxy ladies
who tend to his every need.
Hey, come on,
all they are is just--
And he calls them friends.
He's the friendliest guy
in the whole building.
Oh, and, like, the door,
it opens automatically
to the sound
of female breathing.
Oh, yeah, okay, old buddy.
It's the kid's turn, okay, I
mean you can't believe this guy.
Stays in my apartment,
everybody knows him, right?
He snores all night long,
makes these animal noises
and, uh, he starts walking
around at 2:30 in the morning.
- Hey, I get hungry.
- Oh, he gets hungry.
You know what, he sleeps
with a teddy, a little teddy.
I've seen him hug
it with my own eyes.
It's not a teddy, it's a pillow.
Oh, it's a pillow. I tell you.
That's the brownest,
fuzziest, wooziest
little pillow I've ever seen.
- Yeah, but--
- You love it, Ponch.
Why, you love that little..?
Ah, alright, alright, maybe.
But if I had all the friends
you had, I wouldn't need it.
Like, uh, Alice-friend
Mary-friend, Jane-friend, huh?
So that's where
they all end up, huh, Jon?
What do you mean?
Oh, come on.
I saw you up
on the Hollywood yesterday.
'Hitting up
on that brunette in the sedan.'
- You saw me?
- Yeah.
Hey, come on, Bar,
that wasn't Jon.
So, what's the description of
this guy you saw, uh, Baricza?
Well, uh, could've been
Jon's twin brother.
Tall, blond hair,
looked just like him.
- You're positive?
- Yeah, hey, sarge.
I'd recognize
that blond baton anywhere.
'It's a Baker trademark.'
Looks like our theory
of a double's
right on target, fellas.
I meant to tell
you something, sarge.
Uh, Ponch and I were
separated yesterday.
I had a personal emergency.
- Uh, what time?
- Between 10 and 10:30.
Time of the accident.
Sorry, sarge.
Look, we're all gonna be sorry
if we don't find this character.
Because right now I have to send
in a report to Sacramento
saying that you were alone
at the time of the incident.
What kinda turkey
rides around on a motorcycle
thinking he's a cop, anyway?
Well, the MO's
usually the same.
They think the uniform
and the power that goes with it
'is an answer
to an uneventful life.'
Guys who wanted to be cops
who couldn't make the grade
usually because of twisted
minds rather than bodies.
Oh, they're usually
not out to hurt anybody
just to play hero.
In this case,
to impress the ladies.
Of course, the real danger is
that in an emergency situation
on the freeway
when people look to him
for help,
he obviously can't deliver.
Most of the time,
the, uh, public
can't tell the difference
between us and them.
And of course, that's
the real problem for us.
Now, this, uh, particular
turkey is without conscience.
He caused a very serious
accident and left the scene.
So we've gotta
find him and fast.
We can't do it in here.
So let's, uh, get the brief
and get out of here, hmm?
Hey, I'll never leave
you alone again, partner.
Thanks.
'Hey, that's Getraer.'
'Yeah, looks like he's hitting'
'the bricks for once.'
Oh!
Eeh! Ouch!
Alright, mister,
you're under arrest.
Shove it, pig, just shove it.
Eeh...ouch!
'Give it up!'
Mm, uh.
You could've killed
somebody, hot shot.
- Highway's not a drag strip.
- Back off, pig.
- I'm in no mood for a sermon.
- Oh, you're not, huh?
'Well, you're gonna
get one anyway.'
- Come here.
- Come on, he's talking to you.
Put your left hand on your head.
Big deal.
Look, you may not
give 2 cents for your life
but there's a heck
of a lotta of other people
out there
who do care about theirs.
Oh, that's real funny.
Is that why you ran me
off the road?
'Cause you're worried
about life?
Look, that's a stolen car,
and that's a felony.
You call the shots, kid.
Oh.
You'd like that, wouldn't you?
Hey. What's the matter with you?
Is it cops?
Or do you just hate
the world in general?
What's it to you?
You're gonna arrest me?
Or we gonna stand around here
and play Reform School all day?
I think that's a little too late
for that, old buddy, come on.
Hey, how you doing?
Pretty good. How you doing?
I mean, the motor home.
You almost finished with it?
Soon as I'm done.
Let me start all over again.
The motor home,
this one, it's mine.
When will you have it fixed?
- This one?
- Yeah.
Ooh, we got a problem.
I couldn't get
a replacement generator for it.
That thing's so old
they don't make 'em anymore.
I don't know
what we're gonna do.
Oh, you gotta be kidding.
No.
Hey, what am I gonna do?
I need it. I live in it.
In that?
You gotta be kidding.
It don't look like anybody
could live in there.
Hey, never mind the inside.
You're supposed
to be working on the generator.
Well...I got a generator
that's almost
like the one that burnt out.
But I'm gonna have
to rewire that thing.
It'll take me another day.
Another day?
You live in there too?
Uh, no,
I was just curious. Thanks.
- Hey, I'll do the best I can.
- Please do, okay?
I miss my home sweet home.
Yeah, and I miss mine too.
Oh, hi, Jon. I was just
using your hair dryer.
I blew the fuse
in my apartment. Is it okay?
- Oh, sure.
- Great. Thanks.
You bet.
-Hi.
-Hi.
- Bye.
- Bye.
How come you didn't
ask her to stay?
'Cause she was finished
drying her hair.
Well, you should've asked her
to stay for some coffee.
I would've offered her
a Ding Dong or something.
What's the matter?
I don't know, just this
double-character thing's
starting to get me down.
Hey, easy, huh?
You know the
whole squad is behind you.
Yeah. I know.
I mean,
we're gonna get this dude.
Hey, that's a promise from
old Ponch to his best buddy.
Yeah. Thanks, Ponch.
I just hope it happens soon.
Hey, it will be, partner.
It will be.
Hello, officer.
May I see your driver's license
and registration, please?
What did I do?
You were doing 40
in a 35-mile zone.
That's ridiculous.
I wasn't going over 30.
Are you gonna gimme
your driver's license
or am I got to run you in?
Alright.
Hmm.
"Jobina Dennings, 166 Ivy Lane."
Ivy Lane, that's
the swinging singles place
over by Eagle Street, isn't it?
Look, if you're gonna
write me a ticket
then do it and get it over with.
Hey, look here, babe.
'What do you say
you just drive on home'
'say and I'll
tag along behind you?'
And then I'll stop up
for a little nightcap. And, uh--
How dare you?
Look, I want you to know..
...Officer Block,
I'm gonna report you.
Oh, no, you don't.
What are you doing?
Give me back my keys.
Let me have those.
What are you doing?
I know what goes on
in those swinging single places.
But a cop who risks his life
every day in the line of duty
isn't good enough
for you, is he, huh?
Let me go. You're scaring.
Let me go. No!
Are you crazy? Let me go.
What do you think you're doing?
Oh, what you--
'Not a bad movie, huh, partner?'
'Yeah, Ponch, thanks.
It was a good idea.'
'Hey, looks like
one of our guys is in trouble.'
Give me
those keys back or...doing?
'Let...what.'
Hold it. We're CHPs.
She was resisting arrest.
He's a liar.
- Let me go.
- Ma'am. I heard you.
- 'Let me go.'
- Hey, hey.
I'm gonna report both of you!
- You're in it together.
- Ma'am. Ma'am.
Let me go.
We don't
wanna hurt you, alright?
- 'Ma'am, easy, easy.'
- 'See, what am I do to two?'
'Don't...let me go .'
'Could you relax a minute,
we don't want--'
'Alright, hold it.'
'Freeze it right there.'
Lady, step away from them.
Okay, now, what's going on?
Their friend stopped me
and then made dirty insinuations
and attacked me
and then these two
came along and and helped him.
Hey, listen, we're CHPs, okay?
Uh, we're gonna
reach for our IDs.
Well, you do it very slowly.
We were assisting
another officer and, um..
Where did he go?
'Hey, he split.'
He's a phony officer, I mean,
haven't you heard about him?
- The phony CHP officer?
- Yeah, the phony.
We had a Teletype
in briefing on him. Yeah.
You mean..
He wasn't a real cop?
Well, listen,
we're gonna have to--
Please, I-I-I
just wanna go home.
I don't, I-I can't take
any more of this.
Listen, ma'am,
we don't blame you
after what
that jerk put you through
and, uh, us coming along
and making it worse.
Yeah, really, just relax
and everything will be fine.
- Hey, could--
- You look like him.
What?
You look like him.
Yeah, I know.
I gotta write a report on this.
Hey, uh, my partner's,
uh, really good with reports.
He'll give you a hand,
right, partner?
Yeah, thanks, Ponch.
Listen, we're really sorry.
Really, now.
I think I'm too shaky
to drive home.
We'll be glad
to drive you home.
Hey.
I mean that
as innocent as it sounds.
Please.
Thanks.
Alright. Come.
Why me?
What's the matter?
Power go off?
Hey, you are off, alright?
I mean, you're not only
a danger to yourself
you're a danger
to my peace of mind.
Aw, 'cause of a little music?
Aw, come on, Jon,
it's too quiet around here.
No sounds, no beat.
Listen, put
a seashell up your ear
and listen to the beat
of the seashore, okay?
I mean, I don't wanna
share it with you.
Uh, I don't know,
m-maybe, uh..
...maybe nothing's wrong
with you, all this stuff..
I don't maybe
I'm crazy. I don't know.
Just wonder how much a new motor
home for you is gonna cost.
'Who is it?'
Uh, it's-it's Jon.
Oh, Jon, hi.
Hi. Alright, listen.
Uh, I'm sorry, can I borrow
your couch for the night?
Sure, come on in.
What is with you, you turkey?
Just 'cause
you drive a monster like this
doesn't give you right of way.
Well, maybe the signal broke
but I am big enough
for you to see, stupid!
Oh, yeah,
well, I got better things
to look
for than dummies like you.
Oh-oh, yeah, if-if
you wanna test your bumper
why don't you just drive
into a brick wall, alright?
Well, at least, a brick wall's
got more brains than you.
Oh! Brains, brains!
You do not know the meaning
of the word "brains"!
Oh, yeah, don't
you realize you are blocking
half a city street
with this big train?
It was right there, if you'd
watch where you were going!
- Oh, watch where I was going?
- Goddamn little car!
You talk about brains, fellow.
Well, it's a big locomotive,
how can you hit it?
- You can't even see, can you?
- Oh, I can.
'I'm going
to teach you a lesson.'
LA 15..
I am gonna
teach you a lesson
because I can take it--
Hey, hey, hey!
Calm down, alright?
...involving a locomotive
and a sports car..
Listen, it doesn't look
like anybody's injured.
No use getting
injured by fighting, huh?
Alright.
Need an 11-84 for assistance.
Oh, do me a favor, will you?
Put out an APB on his brain.
How about doing me a favor,
okay? You guys finished?
Get a load of the size
of that thing.
Must be a heck
of a thing to drive, huh?
Yeah, we gotta get this traffic
cleared up. So can you move it?
- Nope.
- What do you mean?
I'm not moving until all
the paperwork's filled out.
Hey, want it moved?
Move it yourself.
I'll make a deal with you.
Shh.
We'll both
move the engine. Deal?
Well, maybe.
Hey, cutie.
Hey, what's happening?
How many horsepower has she got?
- Uh, thirty-six hundred.
- Thirty-six hundred?
- Yep.
- Wow!
Uh...you, uh, wanna try?
Oh, um, uh, no, I mean, uh!
I don't know how.
I mean, I couldn't.
Well, it's your last chance.
Well, no, I mean, like,
I'm in uniform and everything.
And I couldn't, uh..
Hey, Jon.
He's mine, babe.
Not till I'm finished with him.
He's even
better-looking than you are.
Wait a minute.
Are you guys really cops?
Yeah.
We're really cops.
Except it comes from the inside
not from what you're wearing.
- 'Hey, yeah?'
- How you doing?
Okay, how you doing?
Now, wait a minute,
wait a minute
let's not go through
that number again.
I'm the cop who owns
the problem you're working on.
Oh, this one?
Yeah, it's okay, I guess.
Well, is that just a guess?
'Well, you see,
I got the generator hooked up'
'but I can't get
the dumb thing to work.'
Hey, wait a minute.
You said you'd
have that thing fixed today.
Hey, I'm sorry, guys.
I'm gonna need more time.
- Here, Ponch.
- What are you doing?
You can
have my apartment, my stereo
my car, everything, alright?
- What?
- Yeah.
You can have Cerie, Roni, Sandy
Charlene, Alice, all of 'em.
- Well, what are you gonna do?
- I'm gonna stay right here.
How dare you? That's the crudest
remark I've ever heard.
Esta bien? Esta bien?
- Ooh.
- It's okay. It's..
...it's okay,
we'll get you to a hospital.
Okay, okay, okay.
Por favor.
My wife, she have a baby now!
It's okay. Okay.
Hey!
'Hey, come back!'
Hey, come back!
Hey, don't leave me!
'Come back, officer!'
Ten minutes? More like 30.
It was an emergency.
I'll split it
with you. Fifteen.
Yeah, well, now I know
why you're always broke.
You can't add.
Come on, what happened?
My motor home
had a sudden illness.
The generator died.
No electricity,
no water pressure
no air conditioning, no nothing.
I had to get
a mechanic to fix it.
A mechanic? You need a surgeon.
Alright, you can laugh
but you got a home
you got a place to stay.
All I got
is an emergency on wheels.
Thirty minute emergency.
We'll have to see
if Getraer thinks so.
Hey, he's just a sergeant.
Nobody asked him to think.
Help! Help!
Over here! Help me, please!
Over here! Come! Over here!
'Help! Help, please!'
You came back. Gracias,
gracias,you came back.
- Very good.
- What do you mean I came back?
'11-82 Northbound
on Hollywood at Alvarado.'
Quick, mi esposa.
Hey, Ponch,
call for an ambulance.
'Make sure
it's equipped for a premature.'
'This lady
doesn't have much time.'
- 'Easy, easy.'
- LA. 15..
...roll a county rescue
for emergency in childbirth.
Just a minute now.
I'm afraid.
I'm afraid.
There you are. There you are.
There you are, uh.
Okay, now,
just bear down. Relax, okay.
Let Mother Nature
take its course.
- 'Bear down.'
- I'm-I'm afraid.
No, no, I can't.
- 'No.'
- Deep breathing.
'Come on, come on.
Just take it easy.'
I can't, I can't, I can't.
I'm gonna lose my baby.
'No, no, no. You're not.'
Just hang on.
Everything's gonna be okay.
'Oh, please,
it's our first baby.'
We can't lose it.
Nothing can happen.
'Please don't
let nothing happen.'
Oh. everything
is gonna be great.
Everything's gonna be great.
We do this all the time.
Yeah, we do this
all the time. We're experts.
- We're specialists.
- Yeah.
I'm the second best
baby deliverer in the world.
He's the first. You're a very
lucky woman, you know that?
Thank you. Gracias.
'You know,
at least you have a car.'
My mother had me in a bus.
And look how beautiful
I turned out, eh?
Ugh! No. No. Gracias.
Okay, j-just bear down
one last time, okay?
Just bear down one last time.
Ponch, look.
I'm a father! I'm a father!
I'm a father.
Hey, no cigars. I'm sorry.
Next time, I have, huh?
- It's a girl!
- No, it's a boy.
Okay, it's a boy!
- 'Hey, where were you guys?'
- Delivering a baby.
Yeah, well,
welcome to the club.
Ah.
Hey, partner,
you were beautiful.
You got hands of a surgeon,
did you know that?
Yeah, well, I had a little
help from Mother Nature.
But, uh, hey, you didn't do
too bad yourself.
Yeah, I guess
I did pretty good, huh?
I did do
a terrific job. Ha, ha!
- Thank you.
- Hey, it's okay.
- Gracias, gracias.
- Anytime.
- 'Thank you.'
- Ha-ha ha.
- Congratulations.
- 'Gracias.'
What a life.
I bring a baby into the world
and become an orphan myself.
All in one day.
Okay, Ponch, I tell you what.
If your motor home isn't fixed
you can move
into my apartment.
I thought you'd never ask.
- 'That's--'
- For a little while.
Well, if it isn't Ponch
the pediatrician.
Congratulations, guys.
You cheapskate.
It was a whole baby.
Hey, uh, my wife
is four months along.
Are you guys
gonna be available?
Dr. Jon would be okay.
But sure got an ugly nurse.
What do you guys know?
You're car cops. Ha!
Hey! We do know Getraer wants
to see you guys on the double.
I wonder what Getraer
wants with us.
Probably wants to offer
congratulations.
Hi, sarge. Wanna see us?
Uh, yeah. Uh, you guys
wanna take a seat?
I bet you wanna offer
congratulations
on the delivery
of a beautiful baby girl, huh?
Uh, Ponch, baby boy,
remember, baby boy?
Hey, either way, it was a baby.
Hey, and it wasn't easy, sarge.
I mean, the strain alone
can wear down a normal man.
Yet, uh, me and my
faithful partner here, uh
we delivered new life
into this world
under the most adverse
conditions, sarge.
Fine, Frank, fine.
Now, would you mind
sitting down?
Look, uh..
I had a complaint today.
Seems that one of my,
uh, motor officers
was a little more than charming
to a certain female motorist.
'I believe the term's
called "coming on strong."'
The, uh, young lady checked the
squad pictures out in the hall
and, uh, picked you out, Jon.
Wait a minute, she picked me?
Yeah and
it's more than just being
a little friendly
with the ladies, uh.
She claims that you upset her
and she pulled out
into traffic without looking.
- Eh, I wasn't even there.
- I know you weren't, Jon.
But that couple
you played doctor for?
Well, they identified her car
as the one that cut 'em off
and you as the officer involved.
In fact, she said that you, uh,
came to check him out once
and then left
to get your partner.
Listen, I don't care
what they said.
It's not true. I was--
Jon, I believe you,
you know that.
Alright, then,
why don't we go out--
Look, departmental procedure..
...departmental procedure
says that I have got to
follow through with the report,
don't you understand?
Yeah, yeah, I understand.
Look, you were the only one
on the beat at that time.
And that girl says she
spoke to a uniformed officer
and swears it was you.
Uh, sarge, uh
maybe it was one
of those, uh, play cops.
Yeah, right,
I mean, one of those whackos
that gets off thinking
they're one of us.
Uh, that's what
I've been thinking.
It's a possibility, and if so
uh, well, this guy's dangerous.
Well, look, anyway,
for the record
look, y-you guys
never ride alone
and they say
this officer was alone.
Ah, uh, wait a minute,
Ponch, as a matter--
Hey, hey, Jon, uh,
we better get going.
Don't worry, Sarge'll
take care of everything.
Right, sarge, right?
See you later.
Hey, come on, old buddy.
We gotta get going. He's busy.
We've taken enough
of his time, come on.
Yeah, uh, you guys can, uh, go.
Hey, Ponch, uh...you really
didn't have to cover for me.
Hey, I wasn't.
I was covering for me.
It was my emergency, remember?
Yeah.
What I can't
understand is how that girl
could say she could identify me.
I wasn't even there.
Hey, come on, Jon.
Between the glasses,
the uniform and the helmet
the public can't tell us apart.
You know, uh, you've seen one,
you've seen 'em all.
Pull it over!
Alright, I wanna see
everybody's license
and registration, please.
Uh, may I see
your, uh, driver's license
and registration, please?
Uh, look, officer
I'm really sorry about this.
But this really
isn't my fault, you see.
Yeah, well,
you were going over 80
you're weaving
in and out of traffic.
I mean,
if you keep that rate up
you're gonna be
celebrating a funeral
instead of a wedding.
Yes, sir.
Will you knock it off?
Must be the champagne.
Wait a minute.
You've been drinking?
Oh, no, no, sir, not me.
Uh, she has, uh,
my girlfriend. I mean, my wife.
Just a few glasses, that's all.
Oh. Heh.
Thank you.
'Look, I'm sorry about this.'
We're just trying to get away on
our honeymoon, you see
And, well, these are my
friends back here, they, uh..
'...they followed me
from the party here.'
'We're just trying to get away.'
'They think,
you know, just fooling around.'
Today.
Hey, look, I'm sorry if I caused
any problems. My friends too.
You know, they just think
it's funny doing this.
Hey, it'd be funny at 55.
Yes, sir. I tell you,
I-I'm really sorry about that.
See, I was trying to outrun 'em.
I'm in the Navy. I just got
a couple days' leave.
Uh, ah, I'm trying
to get away, that's all.
- Yeah, uh, you're on leave?
- 'Yes, sir.'
Okay, uh, I'll be with you
in just a minute, alright?
The guy probably
has a 24-hour leave too.
- Alright, where's Dorfner?
- Hey, Ponch, uh, listen.
Hey, uh, partner, you're gonna
have to help me out with this.
It's gonna take an hour
to write these up.
- An hour?
- At least, yeah.
That's just enough time.
What are you talking about?
Okay, I'll tell you what.
I'll give
you an hour's head start
on your buddies back there
and, uh, just keep
it at 55 and just
consider it a present from
the California Highway Patrol.
- Terrific.
- Thank you, officer.
You're really super.
- Yeah.
- Thank you.
Thank you. I really
appreciate this.
You bet. Have a nice honeymoon.
Thank you.
Hey, what happened?
It's okay.
We deliver babies too.
- Huh?
- Uh, they escaped.
How's it going?
'Hey, you take this.'
Okay, Ponch.
And this one.
Oh, matched luggage. Eh, does it
come in any other colors?
Hey, I forgot my weights.
Ponch, you're only gonna
be here one night, remember?
One single night.
Hey, I can't let my body
get flabby, can I?
How are you gonna play
with this thing with no strings?
Oh, I was gonna restring
it while I was here.
Yeah, okay. Here.
Hi, Jon.
Hey, how you doing, Sandy?
Fine, thanks.
I'll talk to you later.
- Okay.
- Who's that?
Uh, just a neighbor.
My hero. Perfect timing. The
bundle on the right is yours.
Uh, thanks a lot, Alice.
'Hey.'
I'll get the door, partner.
Okay, Ponch.
Wow, how do you do it?
Neat as a pin.
- Hey. Hi, Dana.
- Hi, Jon.
Different lifestyles,
Ponch. That's all.
I'm sorry, Jon. I didn't
realize you had company.
Oh, hey, that's okay. I'm Ponch.
And, uh, I'm gonna be staying
here with Jon for a while.
Will I be seeing a lotta you?
I, uh, think
you've seen enough already.
- Hey, let me--
- Hey, uh.
Y-you don't have to go,
can't, can't you stay?
Oh, that's okay.
I'm losing my sun anyway.
I'll see you later. Thanks, Jon.
You bet.
- I'll talk to you later.
- Okay.
- Bye-bye.
- Bye.
- Who is that?
- That is Dana.
Dana, huh?
Hey, come on, Jon, you know
what I mean. What's her story?
She's just a stew
and she's a neighbor and, uh
she doesn't get sun on her side
of the building so she comes
over here and, uh, uses the
terrace whenever she wants.
Yeah, And that
laundry chick, who's that?
Oh, uh...now, see,
that was Alice.
Uh, she's
a legal secretary.
And I supply the quarter,
she does the wash.
She's just
a good friend, that's all.
Yeah, well,
how many friends like that
you got around here, huh?
Uh.
Well, let's see,
There's, um..
...there's Nancy,
she's upstairs.
And she comes and does
the cooking once in a while.
There's, uh,
Charlene. There's Mary.
She does the shopping
once in a while.
Charlene's the one
that comes in
and does a little dusting.
Yeah, well,
how come you didn't tell me
about these lovelies
before, partner?
Hey, I didn't know it was
important to you, okay?
You didn't know
it was important?
Hey, Ponch, I mean,
do you really have to
put all that stuff in there?
Hey, come on. I gotta keep
this stuff fresh.
Oh, come on, that stuff
has enough preservatives
in it to last forever.
Hey, Jon, you know I like
the filling in my Ding Dongs
at a certain temperature?
Oh, yes, so they don't
get gooey, right?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
'Uh, no more rock at this hour.'
Oh, Ponch.
Hey, the roommates look
a little tired this morning.
You bet I'm tired. I mean,
like, how can a man sleep?
Every time I'm about to doze off
another beautiful lady
comes wandering into
the apartment to see
if Jon needs anything.
I mean, like, he's been
adopted by 30 foxy ladies
who tend to his every need.
Hey, come on,
all they are is just--
And he calls them friends.
He's the friendliest guy
in the whole building.
Oh, and, like, the door,
it opens automatically
to the sound
of female breathing.
Oh, yeah, okay, old buddy.
It's the kid's turn, okay, I
mean you can't believe this guy.
Stays in my apartment,
everybody knows him, right?
He snores all night long,
makes these animal noises
and, uh, he starts walking
around at 2:30 in the morning.
- Hey, I get hungry.
- Oh, he gets hungry.
You know what, he sleeps
with a teddy, a little teddy.
I've seen him hug
it with my own eyes.
It's not a teddy, it's a pillow.
Oh, it's a pillow. I tell you.
That's the brownest,
fuzziest, wooziest
little pillow I've ever seen.
- Yeah, but--
- You love it, Ponch.
Why, you love that little..?
Ah, alright, alright, maybe.
But if I had all the friends
you had, I wouldn't need it.
Like, uh, Alice-friend
Mary-friend, Jane-friend, huh?
So that's where
they all end up, huh, Jon?
What do you mean?
Oh, come on.
I saw you up
on the Hollywood yesterday.
'Hitting up
on that brunette in the sedan.'
- You saw me?
- Yeah.
Hey, come on, Bar,
that wasn't Jon.
So, what's the description of
this guy you saw, uh, Baricza?
Well, uh, could've been
Jon's twin brother.
Tall, blond hair,
looked just like him.
- You're positive?
- Yeah, hey, sarge.
I'd recognize
that blond baton anywhere.
'It's a Baker trademark.'
Looks like our theory
of a double's
right on target, fellas.
I meant to tell
you something, sarge.
Uh, Ponch and I were
separated yesterday.
I had a personal emergency.
- Uh, what time?
- Between 10 and 10:30.
Time of the accident.
Sorry, sarge.
Look, we're all gonna be sorry
if we don't find this character.
Because right now I have to send
in a report to Sacramento
saying that you were alone
at the time of the incident.
What kinda turkey
rides around on a motorcycle
thinking he's a cop, anyway?
Well, the MO's
usually the same.
They think the uniform
and the power that goes with it
'is an answer
to an uneventful life.'
Guys who wanted to be cops
who couldn't make the grade
usually because of twisted
minds rather than bodies.
Oh, they're usually
not out to hurt anybody
just to play hero.
In this case,
to impress the ladies.
Of course, the real danger is
that in an emergency situation
on the freeway
when people look to him
for help,
he obviously can't deliver.
Most of the time,
the, uh, public
can't tell the difference
between us and them.
And of course, that's
the real problem for us.
Now, this, uh, particular
turkey is without conscience.
He caused a very serious
accident and left the scene.
So we've gotta
find him and fast.
We can't do it in here.
So let's, uh, get the brief
and get out of here, hmm?
Hey, I'll never leave
you alone again, partner.
Thanks.
'Hey, that's Getraer.'
'Yeah, looks like he's hitting'
'the bricks for once.'
Oh!
Eeh! Ouch!
Alright, mister,
you're under arrest.
Shove it, pig, just shove it.
Eeh...ouch!
'Give it up!'
Mm, uh.
You could've killed
somebody, hot shot.
- Highway's not a drag strip.
- Back off, pig.
- I'm in no mood for a sermon.
- Oh, you're not, huh?
'Well, you're gonna
get one anyway.'
- Come here.
- Come on, he's talking to you.
Put your left hand on your head.
Big deal.
Look, you may not
give 2 cents for your life
but there's a heck
of a lotta of other people
out there
who do care about theirs.
Oh, that's real funny.
Is that why you ran me
off the road?
'Cause you're worried
about life?
Look, that's a stolen car,
and that's a felony.
You call the shots, kid.
Oh.
You'd like that, wouldn't you?
Hey. What's the matter with you?
Is it cops?
Or do you just hate
the world in general?
What's it to you?
You're gonna arrest me?
Or we gonna stand around here
and play Reform School all day?
I think that's a little too late
for that, old buddy, come on.
Hey, how you doing?
Pretty good. How you doing?
I mean, the motor home.
You almost finished with it?
Soon as I'm done.
Let me start all over again.
The motor home,
this one, it's mine.
When will you have it fixed?
- This one?
- Yeah.
Ooh, we got a problem.
I couldn't get
a replacement generator for it.
That thing's so old
they don't make 'em anymore.
I don't know
what we're gonna do.
Oh, you gotta be kidding.
No.
Hey, what am I gonna do?
I need it. I live in it.
In that?
You gotta be kidding.
It don't look like anybody
could live in there.
Hey, never mind the inside.
You're supposed
to be working on the generator.
Well...I got a generator
that's almost
like the one that burnt out.
But I'm gonna have
to rewire that thing.
It'll take me another day.
Another day?
You live in there too?
Uh, no,
I was just curious. Thanks.
- Hey, I'll do the best I can.
- Please do, okay?
I miss my home sweet home.
Yeah, and I miss mine too.
Oh, hi, Jon. I was just
using your hair dryer.
I blew the fuse
in my apartment. Is it okay?
- Oh, sure.
- Great. Thanks.
You bet.
-Hi.
-Hi.
- Bye.
- Bye.
How come you didn't
ask her to stay?
'Cause she was finished
drying her hair.
Well, you should've asked her
to stay for some coffee.
I would've offered her
a Ding Dong or something.
What's the matter?
I don't know, just this
double-character thing's
starting to get me down.
Hey, easy, huh?
You know the
whole squad is behind you.
Yeah. I know.
I mean,
we're gonna get this dude.
Hey, that's a promise from
old Ponch to his best buddy.
Yeah. Thanks, Ponch.
I just hope it happens soon.
Hey, it will be, partner.
It will be.
Hello, officer.
May I see your driver's license
and registration, please?
What did I do?
You were doing 40
in a 35-mile zone.
That's ridiculous.
I wasn't going over 30.
Are you gonna gimme
your driver's license
or am I got to run you in?
Alright.
Hmm.
"Jobina Dennings, 166 Ivy Lane."
Ivy Lane, that's
the swinging singles place
over by Eagle Street, isn't it?
Look, if you're gonna
write me a ticket
then do it and get it over with.
Hey, look here, babe.
'What do you say
you just drive on home'
'say and I'll
tag along behind you?'
And then I'll stop up
for a little nightcap. And, uh--
How dare you?
Look, I want you to know..
...Officer Block,
I'm gonna report you.
Oh, no, you don't.
What are you doing?
Give me back my keys.
Let me have those.
What are you doing?
I know what goes on
in those swinging single places.
But a cop who risks his life
every day in the line of duty
isn't good enough
for you, is he, huh?
Let me go. You're scaring.
Let me go. No!
Are you crazy? Let me go.
What do you think you're doing?
Oh, what you--
'Not a bad movie, huh, partner?'
'Yeah, Ponch, thanks.
It was a good idea.'
'Hey, looks like
one of our guys is in trouble.'
Give me
those keys back or...doing?
'Let...what.'
Hold it. We're CHPs.
She was resisting arrest.
He's a liar.
- Let me go.
- Ma'am. I heard you.
- 'Let me go.'
- Hey, hey.
I'm gonna report both of you!
- You're in it together.
- Ma'am. Ma'am.
Let me go.
We don't
wanna hurt you, alright?
- 'Ma'am, easy, easy.'
- 'See, what am I do to two?'
'Don't...let me go .'
'Could you relax a minute,
we don't want--'
'Alright, hold it.'
'Freeze it right there.'
Lady, step away from them.
Okay, now, what's going on?
Their friend stopped me
and then made dirty insinuations
and attacked me
and then these two
came along and and helped him.
Hey, listen, we're CHPs, okay?
Uh, we're gonna
reach for our IDs.
Well, you do it very slowly.
We were assisting
another officer and, um..
Where did he go?
'Hey, he split.'
He's a phony officer, I mean,
haven't you heard about him?
- The phony CHP officer?
- Yeah, the phony.
We had a Teletype
in briefing on him. Yeah.
You mean..
He wasn't a real cop?
Well, listen,
we're gonna have to--
Please, I-I-I
just wanna go home.
I don't, I-I can't take
any more of this.
Listen, ma'am,
we don't blame you
after what
that jerk put you through
and, uh, us coming along
and making it worse.
Yeah, really, just relax
and everything will be fine.
- Hey, could--
- You look like him.
What?
You look like him.
Yeah, I know.
I gotta write a report on this.
Hey, uh, my partner's,
uh, really good with reports.
He'll give you a hand,
right, partner?
Yeah, thanks, Ponch.
Listen, we're really sorry.
Really, now.
I think I'm too shaky
to drive home.
We'll be glad
to drive you home.
Hey.
I mean that
as innocent as it sounds.
Please.
Thanks.
Alright. Come.
Why me?
What's the matter?
Power go off?
Hey, you are off, alright?
I mean, you're not only
a danger to yourself
you're a danger
to my peace of mind.
Aw, 'cause of a little music?
Aw, come on, Jon,
it's too quiet around here.
No sounds, no beat.
Listen, put
a seashell up your ear
and listen to the beat
of the seashore, okay?
I mean, I don't wanna
share it with you.
Uh, I don't know,
m-maybe, uh..
...maybe nothing's wrong
with you, all this stuff..
I don't maybe
I'm crazy. I don't know.
Just wonder how much a new motor
home for you is gonna cost.
'Who is it?'
Uh, it's-it's Jon.
Oh, Jon, hi.
Hi. Alright, listen.
Uh, I'm sorry, can I borrow
your couch for the night?
Sure, come on in.
What is with you, you turkey?
Just 'cause
you drive a monster like this
doesn't give you right of way.
Well, maybe the signal broke
but I am big enough
for you to see, stupid!
Oh, yeah,
well, I got better things
to look
for than dummies like you.
Oh-oh, yeah, if-if
you wanna test your bumper
why don't you just drive
into a brick wall, alright?
Well, at least, a brick wall's
got more brains than you.
Oh! Brains, brains!
You do not know the meaning
of the word "brains"!
Oh, yeah, don't
you realize you are blocking
half a city street
with this big train?
It was right there, if you'd
watch where you were going!
- Oh, watch where I was going?
- Goddamn little car!
You talk about brains, fellow.
Well, it's a big locomotive,
how can you hit it?
- You can't even see, can you?
- Oh, I can.
'I'm going
to teach you a lesson.'
LA 15..
I am gonna
teach you a lesson
because I can take it--
Hey, hey, hey!
Calm down, alright?
...involving a locomotive
and a sports car..
Listen, it doesn't look
like anybody's injured.
No use getting
injured by fighting, huh?
Alright.
Need an 11-84 for assistance.
Oh, do me a favor, will you?
Put out an APB on his brain.
How about doing me a favor,
okay? You guys finished?
Get a load of the size
of that thing.
Must be a heck
of a thing to drive, huh?
Yeah, we gotta get this traffic
cleared up. So can you move it?
- Nope.
- What do you mean?
I'm not moving until all
the paperwork's filled out.
Hey, want it moved?
Move it yourself.
I'll make a deal with you.
Shh.
We'll both
move the engine. Deal?
Well, maybe.
Hey, cutie.
Hey, what's happening?
How many horsepower has she got?
- Uh, thirty-six hundred.
- Thirty-six hundred?
- Yep.
- Wow!
Uh...you, uh, wanna try?
Oh, um, uh, no, I mean, uh!
I don't know how.
I mean, I couldn't.
Well, it's your last chance.
Well, no, I mean, like,
I'm in uniform and everything.
And I couldn't, uh..
Hey, Jon.
He's mine, babe.
Not till I'm finished with him.
He's even
better-looking than you are.
Wait a minute.
Are you guys really cops?
Yeah.
We're really cops.
Except it comes from the inside
not from what you're wearing.
- 'Hey, yeah?'
- How you doing?
Okay, how you doing?
Now, wait a minute,
wait a minute
let's not go through
that number again.
I'm the cop who owns
the problem you're working on.
Oh, this one?
Yeah, it's okay, I guess.
Well, is that just a guess?
'Well, you see,
I got the generator hooked up'
'but I can't get
the dumb thing to work.'
Hey, wait a minute.
You said you'd
have that thing fixed today.
Hey, I'm sorry, guys.
I'm gonna need more time.
- Here, Ponch.
- What are you doing?
You can
have my apartment, my stereo
my car, everything, alright?
- What?
- Yeah.
You can have Cerie, Roni, Sandy
Charlene, Alice, all of 'em.
- Well, what are you gonna do?
- I'm gonna stay right here.
