Emergency! (1972–1979): Season 2, Episode 20 - Rip-Off - full transcript

[Banging]

[ Gage Coughs ] Yeah.

That oughta do it. Do what?

That rattly sound has
been driving me crazy.

[ Banging ] [Grunts]

The one you can't seem to hear.

Oh, that one.

[Grunts] Yeah, that one.

Uh, it was the muffler. The
mechanic couldn't even find it.

Hmm. What was wrong with it?

What was wrong with
it? I told you— It was rattly.



What did you do to unrattle it?

I fixed it.

[Alarm Blaring ]

[ Dispatcher] Squad
51, unknown type rescue.

1015 East Bayview.

1015 East Bayview. Cross
street Willowbrook. Timeout 1210.

[Stanley] Squad 51, KMG-365.

[Siren Blaring ]

[ Siren Off]

I was in my apartment. It
was about five minutes ago.

There was this loud crash in the
apartment above. It shook the whole place.

What do you mean by “crash”?
You mean, like an explosion?

Oh, no. It sounded as if it were a
person falling. A body, you know?

How do you know it was a person
falling? It was just above my apartment.



This way— number 20.

There was a loud
moan after the crash.

It scared me to death.

I was afraid to come up here, so I
t-telephoned right away. This is the one.

Do you have a key? No.

- Do you know who lives here?
- Norman Harrison.

The Norman
Harrison of Channel 3.

- Mr. Harrison!
- [Knocking ]

Mr. Harrison, can you hear us?

[Sighs] Well, we're gonna have to get in
there. Ma'am, can you move out of the way?

I think it's his heart. Let's
get some O, on him. Okay.

- Can I do anything?
- Yeah, you can go downstairs
and wait for the ambulance.

All right.

Rampart Base, this is Rescue 51.

- Go ahead, 51.
- What's the pulse and respiration?

Palpable pulse.

Rampart, we have a
male, approximate age 45.

He's unconscious.
The pulse is palpable.

- Respiration's normal.
- The respirations are normal.

Looks like he's a
cardiac. We're gonna

patch him in and send
you a strip on lead 2.

10-4, 51,

Rampart Base, this is Rescue
51. The rate's down to 30.

[ Brackett ] The
respirations, 51? Almost none.

Straight line.
Ventricular standstill.

[ High-pitched Tone ]

Epinephrine, one amp intracardiac,
and get an esophageal airway in.

10-4, Rampart.

Okay. Let's have another look.

Rampart, rate's down to 20.

Okay, 51. Let's try
some Isoproterenol.

Add two milligrams to the I.V.

10-4, Rampart.

Rampart, two milligrams of
Isoproterenol have been added.

Tone Continues I Hold C.P.R.

10-4, Rampart.

The rate is 35.
Increase the drip.

Drip has increased, Rampart.

Forty-five.

Fifty.

Sixty, Rampart.

Carotid pulse.

Spontaneous respiration
and strong carotid pulse.

Easy, 51. Try to hold him at
70. He's in sinus rhythm now.

10-4, Rampart.

Seventy and holding.

Strong pulse.

Good enough, 51. Keep
him stable and get him in here.

10-4, Rampart.

[ Monitor Beeping ]

[Groans ]

I guess I just been at
the grindstone too much.

I thought I'd relax
a little, you know,

and go to Nancy's
party across the hall.

Got a little dizzy.

[Sighs] Kind of
cloudy, you know?

Must have passed out when
I got back to my apartment.

You did more than that,
Mr. Harrison. You had a heart attack.

If it hadn't been for
those two paramedics...

A heart attack?

But -

But I've—I got a show
to do in three hours.

I- can't afford to miss it.

Well, I'm afraid it's gonna
have to wait for a few weeks.

You've got some
recovering to do.

Are you under a doctor's
care, Mr. Harrison?

Uh... Yeah, yeah.

Doc Turner.

I saw him just a
couple days ago.

He gave me a pre-prescription
to settle my nerves a little.

- Other than that,
he said everything was all right.
- Do you have the medication with you?

[ Chuckles ] I never
got the prescription filled.

It's-It's in my wallet.

Just take it easy. I'll get it.

- That's funny.
- What?

I had $500 in there.

- Now it's gone.
- When'd you last see it?

Well, it was two minutes before
I went back to my apartment.

Nobody else
could've been in there.

Those two firemen are the
only ones who could've taken it.

[Siren Blaring ]

[ I Radio Chatter ]

It took you guys long enough. Well,
you know, when duty calls and all that.

You know, every time
I slave over this stove,

it seems like you guys
have to go on a run.

Maybe there's a
message in that, Chet.

If you don't like my cooking,
Gage, just let me know. No, no!

Hi, fellas.

Is the captain in? Uh,
yeah. He's in his office.

It's the first door on
your left. All right. Thanks.

Yeah.

You know, you two guys just don't
happen to appreciate good home cooking.

No, no, no, Chet.
We do. We really do.

That's good, because I
happened to save some

for you in the oven,
and it's nice and warm.

Wh-What is this
that we're having?

A meal fit for a king.

[ I Radio Chatter ]

What—What is that?

Chet, that's not even touched. I
thought you said you already had lunch.

Well, I-1 put the, uh— Oh, yeah.

See, we understand.

But I think— Look, I've got some candy
bars in my locker. What do you say?

I think I'd like
that much better.

Roy? John? Those guys in my
office are from the police department.

- Yeah?
- I called the battalion chief,
and he's en route.

I, uh—I don't know how to, uh...

Well, you're accused
of stealing $500...

from a Mr. Norman Harrison.

What?

So if they want to talk to you, we'll
give them the office space to do it.

Yeah, but why us? Didn't they ever consider
the fact it could've been somebody else?

Yeah, anybody could've
stolen that old guy's

money. What about the
ambulance attendants?

They had just as much
opportunity to do it as we did.

I’m afraid not, Johnny. I rode in with
them, remember? No one even touched him.

All right. Then we're it? Don't
get all wound up for nothing.

All they want to do is
talk. No more, no less.

Why don’t we just goin and see
what they have on their minds?

Roy DeSoto. John Gage.

Well, before we get started, I
have to advise you of your rights.

First, you have the
right to remain silent,

and you have the right to have an
attorney present before questioning.

Uh, so you said that you hesitated
when you first broke into the apartment.

What was Gage doing?
He was working on Harrison.

Is it possible he could have taken
the money then, without you seeing it?

- He didn't take it.
- But you're not sure.

No. But I know
him. He's not a thief.

Listen, DeSoto. We have
six people from a party...

who put you and
Gage in that locked

apartment 10 minutes
after Harrison goes in.

He comes to, and 500 is missing.

You and Gage are the only
ones that could have taken it.

What would you
think in our position?

Yeah, well, I know your problem.

It's tight. We look good for it.

But you have to believe me that
what I'm telling you is the truth.

- Is it?
- [Gage]Yes, it is.

Now look. Somebody
else must have done it.

Well, supposing you tell us
who else had the opportunity.

[ I Radio Chatter ]

Okay, okay. All right.

Let's start from the top again.

What happened when you
first broke into the apartment?

Again.

Look, what do you want
us to say? That we did it?

- Did you?

- Convince me.
- I can't!

I don't know how else to say it!

Well, let's find a way.

Now, from the beginning.

DeSoto kicked in the door.

You entered the apartment.
Where was Harrison?

[Alarm Blaring ]

N—Wait a minute. Wait, wait.
Hold it. We're not finished.

You are for now.
They've got work to do.

[ Dispatcher] Winslow
and Elm. Time out 1442.

[Sirens Blaring ]

[ Siren Stops ]

Hey, Cap, it's a
ruptured gas line.

We're gonna need a crowbar
or something. It's jammed tight.

All right. I'll get one.

You hurt anywhere,
ma'am? Please, my husband.

He's pinned under the steering wheel
and dash. He's jammed in there tight.

We'd better use the Jaws.

[ Siren Wailing ]

All right.

How far along are
you? Seven months.

Okay, let's bring
it over on this side!

Please, help Mike. [
Gage] All right. We're

doing all we can for him.
We're doing all we can.

Can you move? Yeah, I think so.

Can you move your legs? Yes.

All right. We're gonna
have to get you out

of the car. Come on.
Just grab on to my arms.

We— We were on our way
to the hospital. It's all right.

Mike— he was so
worried. [Gasps ]

It's coming too fast.

Are you in labor now? Yes!

It's too early. I
know it's too early.

Okay. Get your feet up
here. Ow! It's too early.

There we go. All right.
Take deep breaths.

Keep taking deep breaths.

[Moaning ] You'll be okay.

[ Moaning ] Mike?

Oh, God! No!

It's gonna be all right.
All right. Okay, let's go.

It's gonna be okay.
Keep taking deep breaths.

Keep taking deep breaths.
Please, I don't want to leave Mike.

[Groaning ]

Oh, no. Ooh! Easy,
now. Easy. Take it easy.

[ Moaning ] Easy.

You're gonna have to stand
by. I better examine her first here.

No. Mike! I want Mike!

Just a second. We're gonna
take real good care of him.

We better get the
OB Kit. Ah, I got it.

[ Moaning Continues ]

[ I Radio Chatter ]

Mike! I want Mike! Oh!

All right. Take it
easy. Take it easy.

He's being taken care
of. Don't worry about it.

[Crying] I feel the baby!

It's coming!

Easy. Easy, now.
Now, breathe deep.

That's it. Deep.

That's it. All right.

All right. Hold your breath
and press down hard.

Hold your breath,
press down hard.

Okay.

All right. Okay, I got it.

You want to clamp it? All right.

Clamped.

All right, Kelly. See if you can
secure that around the steering post.

Okay.

Give me a little more. Okay.

How are we doing back there?

[ Baby Crying ]

Mike. What about my husband?

They haven't gotten him out
yet. I'm gonna do all I can for him.

I'm gonna stay with you. We're
about 10 minutes from the hospital.

The baby? He's gonna be all right.
We're gonna put him in an incubator.

Can you have an incubator
standing by at the hospital for me?

[ Motor Revving ]

All right, Chet.
Let me in there.

[ Siren Blaring ]

He's got a head injury.
I think if you lift this

up about a foot, we
can get him out of here.

Let me cover his face up.

Okay.

[ Metal Groaning ]

All right. All right. Hold it. All right.
We can get him out. We can get him out.

Hey, Vince, can
you give me a hand?

All right.

Okay. All right.

All right. Hey, Chet! Can you take
the squad back to Rampart for me?

Yeah.

Ah.

Thanks, Vince.

[Siren Blaring ]

My doctor said it was
a prefect pregnancy.

But it's too early. I
had two months to go.

Now don't you worry. Accidents like
yours sometimes cause early deliveries.

Both you and the baby
are going to be fine.

My husband— Have
you heard anything?

I’m sorry. [Dixie ] Kel?

They, uh, just brought
her husband in.

His name is Mike Williams.
He's a resident at Harbor.

Okay. Thanks.

They just brought him in.

Oh, please, let
him be all right.

Please. We worked so hard.

How are they doing, Doc?

He's still in a coma.

The baby's in an incubator,
and Mrs. Williams is sedated.

By the way, in light of everything
else, I hate to bring this up, but...

Oh, I know exactly
what you're gonna say.

- Admissions can't find
her husband's wallet, right?
- Yes. You know something about it?

Yeah. Well, when I was
pulling him out of the car,

it fell out of his pocket, and
Vince found it on the floorboard.

Well, hand it over. I'll put
it with the rest of his things.

We don't have it.

Well, you see, uh, when
Vince found it on the floorboard,

he made a crack about this
Harrison thing, and I, uh...

Well, I just told him he could
bring it to the hospital himself.

Sounds like a case of
oversensitivity to me.

Can't blame them for that. The
way I hear it, it's a cut-and-dried case.

Oh, gee, thanks a lot.

Oh, no. Don't get me wrong.
I don't believe you did it.

- But the cards are stacked against us,
right, Doc?
- That's the way it sounds to me.

What are you gonna do?

Well, maybe we can
try talking him out of it.

That's the worst idea I've heard
yet. I can just see the headlines now.

“Paramedics
harass heart patient.”

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, I guess
so. By the way, how is he?

Resting, with no visitors
being the order of the day.

Yeah, we won't even let
the detectives in to see him.

Don't worry about them.
They're making it up on us.

Why? Is it pretty rough? Yeah.

Let's put it this way— They're
getting down to the old nitty-gritty.

Well, now, they don't really
believe you did it, do they?

Worse. Right now
they're trying to prove it.

[ Chuckles ] See you all later.

Yeah.

Phase two of the rubber
hose bit coming up, Chief?

No, they decided not to
wait around. What's next?

Far as the department is
concerned, we're interested onlookers.

The police do their
job, and we do ours.

Uh, what he's trying
to say is, they haven't

talked 'em into
relieving us of duty yet.

And they won't either.

That'll strictly be the chief engineer's
decision, when and if the time comes.

At what, uh, point is that?

Like I said before,
don't worry about it.

Chief, I have to worry. I have a
wife and a family to worry about.

Yeah, I know what
you're going through.

Maybe we could get somebody from the fire
department to help with the investigation.

Look, DeSoto, we're
firemen, not policemen.

As far as the
department's concerned,

you'll be investigated by the police just
as any citizen accused of theft would be.

Chief, not just any citizen would
have been in that apartment.

We were there doin' a job.

And you'll continue to do the job until
this is resolved one way or the other.

Did those detectives say anything
about what they were gonna do?

Well, they have a few more
interviews to make, and then...

Yeah? And then?

Well, then if they
don't find anything else,

they'll ask the D.A.
to file a complaint...

and issue an arrest warrant.

Which is the point in time in
which we are relieved from duty.

Pending the
outcome of the trial.

That's just nice.

What we do now is we
just sit and wait. I wouldn't.

If it were me, I wouldn't sit and wait.
You might think about getting a lawyer.

You see? I told you
everything would be fine.

Is he— Is he really all right?

Well, he's a little on
the lightweight side,

but I think a few weeks
will take care of that.

He's so wrinkled,

but the spitting
image of his dad.

Okay. Visit's over.

This young man's going
back to the nursery. [ Cries]

Yes, sweetheart. Come on, dear.

Kathy,

there's something I
want to talk to you about.

Doctor, something's wrong.

Mike. What's wrong?
Is he badly hurt?

They said he was conscious.
All right. Now, just take it easy.

Listen very closely
to what I have to say.

Mike has regained consciousness,

but he's had a very
severe head trauma.

What are you telling me, Doctor?

Well, Dr. Early is running
some tests right now.

Mike— Well, his
vision is impaired.

He can't see.

Oh, no. No.

Oh! He hasn't even seen his son.

Now, there's hope, Kathy,
but you have to give it to him.

Oh, it'll kill him, Doctor.

You don't know how
he's worked, studied.

Medicine's his whole
life. And it can still be.

But you've got to believe
that, or else he won't.

People have had these
kinds of things before,

and the ones that make it
have one thing to go on— hope.

And that's what I want
you to give your husband.

Does he know about the baby?

No, I haven't told him anything.

I want you to tell him.

I don't know if I can
face his disappointment.

Well, I think you can.

Dr. Early has scheduled
a series of tests.

We're not sure yet
whether it's temporary or not.

- Well, what can I do?
- You can give him the faith that he needs.

He doesn't want the tests.

Well, Mike has convinced
himself that it's permanent.

Well, is it, Doctor?

He could be blind
forever, couldn't he?

[Crying]

Hey, Roy?

Yeah?

I've been doing some thinking
about, uh— about what the chief said.

Yeah, me too.

Maybe that's a good idea
about, uh— about the lawyer.

Yeah.

[Sighs] I wonder
how much he'll cost.

Do you remember
that, uh, battalion chief...

who—who passed his bar exam a
couple of years ago and then retired?

Yeah. Uh, Barney Olsen.

- Is he still around?
- Yeah.

They say he's doing a real
booming practice in Beverly Hills.

Yeah. He'll probably
cost us an arm and a leg.

Yeah.

Well, maybe he, uh...

Maybe he has a soft spot
in his heart for firemen.

[Kelly] Hey,
guys. It's 6:00 a.m.

Well, so? Go back to
sleep then. We're talkin'.

That's why I can't.
Oh, shut up, Chet.

Listen, Charlie, you're
bluffing. We both know it.

Now, this deal is going to cost
your client an even $2 million.

He's lucky at that.

No. No, we're not going
to compromise one dime,

and neither would
you in my position.

Now you tell your boy he's gotta
pay up or face the lawsuit of his life.

Now he's gonna pay the two million,
plus costs and punitive damages.

This is your ball, Charlie.

[ Chuckles ] You
know, personally,

I'd give half my fee to get you
and your client in court on this one.

[Laughing]

Right. Hey, golf
next week? Good,

It'll be a pleasure to take
you at that too. [ Laughing ]

Oh, I'm sorry, fellas.
Where were we?

Yeah, uh, Barney, what we were
talking about— The paramedics? Yeah.

Paramedics.

Well, there wasn't any such
animal when I was on the job.

Must make you guys feel pretty good
though to be able to save those cases...

that we used to watch die, hmm?

Uh, yes. Yeah.

Old Charlie Miller.
Is he still on the job?

Yeah, he's a, uh,
captain at 26's.

We worked together on
that big brush fire back in "'60.

Now there was some kind
of fireman. Let me tell you.

Look, Barney, if you
don't mind, like I was telling

you, we're a little
worried about this thing.

I’m sorry. [ Chuckling
] Ah, that's...

I get carried away
every now and then.

Sometimes I wish I was
back on the job instead of here.

Yeah, well, right now, Barney, we're
trying to stay on the job and out of jail.

[ Chuckles ] Right. Okay.

Let's run it down here
now. [ Clears Throat ]

Hmm.

Well, judging from what
you said on the phone,

you two are the
most logical suspects.

But, on the other
side of the case,

it is largely circumstantial,

Meaning?

Meaning that the district attorney
might not feel too strong about the case,

if it's filed.

You see, according to the law,

a circumstantial case is acceptable,
but it's very tough to prosecute.

Barney, what?-what
are you reaching for?

Well, now, if the
police make a case,

there's a strong possibility that
we can plea-bargain with the D.A.

What does that mean?

Grand theft carries one
to 10 in the state prison,

but it's likely that we can
bargain the case to petty theft.

You see, you plead
guilty to a misdemeanor.

Probably the most you'll get
Is a couple of years' probation.

- What?
- Barney, you don't understand.

You see, we came here
to ask you to represent

us so that we could
be proven innocent.

Well, now, don't get
hot. It's just an alternative.

- We're not interested.
- I wouldn't be doing my job
if I didn't point out the possibility.

We-We're not interested.

I'd have been
disappointed if you were.

Good.

Well, now that we got that
straight, where do we go from here?

Well, now, just sit tight.

The police haven't finished
their investigation yet.

And if they do pick you up, you're
entitled to a couple of phone calls,

so be sure and make the
first one to me, all right?

Oh, wow. That's a relief.

Uh, look, Barney.

About the fee— What
is this gonna run us?

Hmm.

What are you guys
making now— about 900?

Well, let's just chalk this one up
to old times. You can't afford me.

Well, let's put it this way, Barney—
We can't afford not to have you.

[Woman on P.A. ] Dr. Barnes,
go to the Emergency entrance.

Hello, Kathy. How
are you feelin'?

Okay. Modern medicine.

Pick Mother up and
get her moving, huh?

Dr. Brackett, I've been
giving it a lot of thought.

I’d like to see Mike now.

I’m glad.

I think we'd better take this.

[Woman on P.A. ] Dr. Harris,
Administrator's Office.

Dr. Harris,
Administrator's Office.

I brought you a
visitor, Mike. Mike?

Kathy.

I told you I didn't want
any visitors, Dr. Brackett.

Mike, I'm your wife, remember?

I can't get it off my mind.

Sounds to me like you're—
You're just giving up.

No. I'm just facing
the facts, Kathy.

I’m blind. You know it. I know
it. And nothing's gonna change.

I’m told there's a chance.

Kathy, I’m a doctor, remember?

You're also a father, Mike.

Can we at least tell
our son that you tried,

you had some hope?

The baby.

He's all right?

He's beautiful, Mike.

Mike.

[ Clattering ]

Hello.

Well, how did it go?

It's kind of wonderful what
a child can do to people,

how things can change.

You mean he's got some of
that hope we were talkin” about?

Mike and Dr. Early
have started the tests.

He made the right
decision, Kathy.

Well, maybe.

But he still doesn't think
the chances are good.

- Are they, Dr. Brackett?
- [Sighs]

We'll have to wait and
see what Dr. Early tells us.

Join me?

Mornin'.

What? Oh, it's just
a relief seeing you.

I thought maybe you
got picked up before I did.

Man, don't think I
wasn't sittin' around the

house all day yesterday
waiting for it to happen.

Have you heard
anything? Not a word.

[Sighs] Maybe this is
part of their technique...

To let us sit around
and stew until we crack.

Well, if it is, they're sure
milking it for all they can.

Maybe we should call
the detective and ask.

- Think they'd tell us?
- Nah, I don't know.

Of course, it's something.

I mean, it's better than sitting around
here and stewing all afternoon, right?

Right. I agree.

Why don't you go call?

Why should I call? I
mean, it was your idea.

[ Dispatcher] Battalion 13,
Squad 209. A 10-7 at St. Francis.

What's wrong?

I don't think it's such a
good idea that we know.

Why? Do you like surprises?

Well, it all depends
on what the surprise is.

Why don't you let
me make the call?

I got a better idea. Why don't we
have a cup of coffee and think about it?

That's a much better idea.

Warm up?

You can move him right here.

Kathy,

Mike. Do you remember what you said
when you first learned I was pregnant?

That our child would be beautiful because
he was conceived from something beautiful.

I love you, Mike, and I
want you to see our son.

- He's beautiful.
- You hear that, Dr. Early?

Loud and clear, Dr. Williams.

Well, I'll do my part.

Let's get on with that
echo-encephalograph.

Take care of him.
He's all we've got.

I will.

Let's go.

[Woman on P.A. ]
Dr. Jose Estrada.

Dr. Jose Estrada.

Do you know where I
can get a hold of him?

Yeah? Well, do you know
what he's doing there?

Oh, yeah? Well, um, you don't
happen to know what case it is, do you?

Oh, no. Huh? Oh, no. Thank you.

Wish we wouldn't
have called now.

What's up?

Well, the sergeant wasn't in.

The secretary said he went down
to the D.A’s office to file a complaint.

The Harrison case.

[Alarm Blaring ]

Station 51, Engine
34, Truck 127.

Aircraft accident
at the airport.

Runway east. [Siren Blaring ]

Carson and Pacific
Coast Highway.

Carson and Pacific
Coast Highway.

Time out 0930.

[ Sirens Approaching ]

She was taking off, just about airborne,
when the right landing gear collapsed.

How many aboard?
Pilot and copilot.

They must be injured,
or they'd be out.

I was just getting ready to board
and check. It's a good thing you didn't.

What do you mean? This
plane carrying liquid oxygen?

It sure is. That's what's
leaking all over the ground.

Kelly, Lopez, inch and
a half open butt and fog.

I don't understand what
all the confusion's about.

Seems to me we ought to be
trying to get those men in the plane.

Mister, you got liquid
oxygen on asphalt.

You put two pounds
sudden pressure on any of the

stuff, this whole place
is gonna go sky high.

- You mean, just like walking on it?
- I guarantee it.

Wow.

All right. Hold it!
Hold it! Stay in there!

Scotty— He's bleeding bad.
That's all right. Just stay in there.

- We'll come up and get you in a minute.
- But he needs help.

Look, just stay in
there. You're gonna fall!

All right! Now,
hang on! Hang on!

If you fall, there's
gonna be an explosion.

Can you give us a snorkel up
here in order to get him down?

Okay. I'll get that box and
a snorkel basket for you...

and maybe some of those redwood
pegs— If that hole's not too big,

maybe that'll do the trick. All right.
Make that fast. Hope everything goes okay.

Everything's liable to go
off if anything goes wrong.

Okay.

All right. You all
right? A little dizzy.

Dizzy? Let me take a
look at this eye, okay?

Just hang on. Just hang on.

Feel dizzy now? A little bit.

All right. We're gonna put
you in the cage. All right.

Hang on. You all
right now? Yeah.

Okay? All right.

All right. Now, watch your step.

Don't slip again.

The box.

Here's the plugs.

You better take the pilot. I'm
gonna go back and plug up that tank.

All right. We can't
move him until you do.

One spark, and— and we're gone.

Yeah. Try to be careful. Yeah.

How's it going?
What's the matter?

Nothing. How's that pilot?

He's got a crack on his head. I've
done about all I can for him here.

All right.

Look, you want to
open that relief valve?

- And then I'll, uh, put this plug in.
- Just say when.

All right.

Okay.

All right. Look, we better find
that hose line, seal this thing off.

All right. His vitals are
normal. we'll just follow you in.

What do we do? Follow 'em
in and then turn ourselves in?

They'll know where to find us.

Well, they're both banged up, but I think
they'll be back in the air in a few days.

Yeah. I think they'll be more careful
about the cargo they carry from now on.

Oh, by the way,
how's, uh, Harrison?

He's coming right along.
As a matter of fact, those

two detectives were in to
see him a little while ago.

- How's that thing working out?
- Not so good.

Yeah. I was up there talking
to him myself this morning.

He seems so
sincere in his belief.

Yeah, I know. It's that sincerity
that's gonna get us locked up.

Why? Has it gone that far?
[DeSoto ] Yeah, afraid so.

Before we rolled this morning,
Johnny called their office.

- They were at the D.A's.
- [Sighs]

Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
Is there anything I can do?

I’m afraid there's
nothing left to be done.

Well, when the time comes,
you can be a character witness.

- For sure.
- Okay. See you later, Doc.

See you guys. Bye.

I was right. Right about what?

About them knowing
where to find us. Oh, no.

Well, it looks like you two
fellas are out of the frying pan.

And into the fire?

See, uh, we know
you went to the D.A’s.

Well, we filed a complaint.

We got an arrest warrant
for Nora J. Hosteller.

- Who?
- Little old lady in Harrison's building.

You mean, the one that
called us in the first place?

She ripped him
before you got there.

She heard him fall,
went up to check.

She took the money and then
locked the door, put in the call.

Well, I'll be. H-How
did you find all this out?

Well, it seems the old
gal is a gambling nut.

She blew the whole
500 last night in Gardena.

We did a little
door-knocking in her building.

Her neighbors had
her pegged pretty good.

After that, it was just a
matter of routine follow-up.

- Then we're off the hook?
- You're free and clear.

[ Chuckles ] well, I—I'm
gonna go call my wife.

I wanna talk to
her too! Well, uh...

What do you wanna talk to my wife
for? I wanna share it with somebody too.

[Cooing ]

He's going to be fine.

He— He can see?

Well, not right now, but
the tests all indicate...

that it's strictly due to the
pressure of his head injury.

I'd say sometime between
now and a day or so,

he'll be counting every
wrinkle on that baby.

[ Sobbing ]

Hi.

I'll tell you— tomorrow
evening you come over, and

we'll have ourselves
one very large celebration.

You're on. And
I'll bring the beer.

[ Engine Starts ]

Wait a minute. Hold it. Hold it!

I guess that wasn't the muffler.

What?

That noise. Don't tell
me you can't hear it.

Yeah, I'm telling you
I can't hear a thing.

Man, you oughta have the
doctor take a look at you.

I definitely hear a rattly
noise. Listen, listen.

Maybe it's the loose
seeds in your gourd. Shh!

Squad 51 available. Shh!

[ Dispatcher] Squad
51. Shh! [ Sighs I

[ Muttering ] I
thought I fixed it.
