163. Not yet, but as soon
as we hear anything,Copy !req
164. we'll let you know.Copy !req
165. Mr. Kersey, the descriptions
you gave the officersCopy !req
166. of your attackers, they're very unclear.Copy !req
167. Is there anything that you can add?Copy !req
168. I came in this front door.Copy !req
169. There were two men standing there.Copy !req
170. There are at least two men back there.Copy !req
171. One of them hits me on the headCopy !req
172. and I'm knocked unconscious.Copy !req
173. Surely you saw one of them
before you were attacked.Copy !req
174. Hey, I told your men everything I know.Copy !req
175. We understand that the
same sort of thing happenedCopy !req
176. in New York City.Copy !req
177. We ran it down in our computer.Copy !req
178. Yeah, that's right.Copy !req
179. Some muggers followed my wife and daughterCopy !req
180. home from the market.Copy !req
181. The police there got a
very good descriptionCopy !req
182. of the muggers, too.Copy !req
183. But it didn't do any good.Copy !req
184. We do what we can.Copy !req
185. Oh, one of my men found this on the floor.Copy !req
186. Oh, honey, if they
don't need us anymore,Copy !req
187. let's go back to my place.Copy !req
188. They're going to be all night.Copy !req
189. Mr. Kersey, we just got

200. In sure and certain hope of a resurrectionCopy !req
201. unto eternal life through
our lord, Jesus Christ.Copy !req
202. Don't worry about
the new building, Paul.Copy !req
203. It can wait.Copy !req
204. Oh, I'll be back soon.Copy !req
205. It's not necessary.Copy !req
206. It is for me.Copy !req
207. Thanks for the use of your cabin.Copy !req
208. This is the new model, Paul.Copy !req
209. The department of building
and safety approved itCopy !req
210. while you were away.Copy !req
211. Has Elliott chosen a building type yet?Copy !req
212. We've drawn up what the
building might look likeCopy !req
213. in three different renderings,Copy !req
214. so we could compare how they'd look.Copy !req
215. Call him up and make an
appointment, and I'll run it over.Copy !req
216. His wife'll probably make the choice,Copy !req
217. but we'll let him run
through the motions anyway.Copy !req
218. Yes, get me Mr. Cass at
the radio station, please?Copy !req
219. Our market is local news,
fires, traffic jams, droughts.Copy !req
220. I'm not so sure, Elliott.Copy !req
221. We've got our awards for
international reporting.Copy !req
222. I don't give a damn about awards.Copy !req
223. KBEX's local news has kept usCopy !req
224. out of first place too damn long.Copy !req
225. You're the boss, Elliot.Copy !req
226. If you want, we'll take 'em on
traffic jam for traffic jam.Copy !req
227. Paul! See you later.Copy !req
228. Why didn't somebody tell me you were here?Copy !req
229. Got some news for ya.Copy !req
230. Your building's been approved.Copy !req
231. Oh. What's it gonna cost me?Copy !req
232. Well, if you get it in a steel frameCopy !req
233. with reflective glass, it'll
cost you $250 a square foot.Copy !req
234. Wooden frame, $100 a square foot.Copy !req
235. Concrete, $150 a square foot.Copy !req
236. All the figures are right here.Copy !req
237. I can't believe these prices!Copy !req
238. Welcome back!Copy !req
239. I see you made a noisy comeback.Copy !req
240. Hello? Yeah, yeah, go ahead.Copy !req
241. I heard you were in the building.Copy !req
242. I was just gonna drop by and see you.Copy !req
243. See you tonight?Copy !req
244. Oh, Geri, you know,Copy !req
245. I don't feel like I'm fit

248. - Come on back!
- Okay.Copy !req
249. Mr. Kersey, I was at your office,Copy !req

and look at some mugshots,Copy !req
252. see if you can pick out
some of those peopleCopy !req
253. that were in your apartment.Copy !req
254. You know, it happened so fast.Copy !req
255. No, I don't think so.Copy !req
256. The pictures might jog your memory.Copy !req
257. There really isn't any use.Copy !req
258. Excuse me.Copy !req
259. Let me tell you one thing.Copy !req
260. The greatest preaching in this Bible is:Copy !req
261. "Blessed are the pure at heart.Copy !req
262. For only they..."Copy !req
263. Brethren, my heart's desireCopy !req
264. and prayer to God for Israel
is that they might be saved.Copy !req
265. We will find in Romans 109 and 10Copy !req
266. that, "If thou shalt confessCopy !req
267. with thy mouth the Lord JesusCopy !req
268. and shall believe in thine heartCopy !req
269. that God hath raised him from the dead,Copy !req
270. thou shall be saved."Copy !req
271. - Oh, yeah.

284. What brings you here?Copy !req
285. I thought I'd come and see you.Copy !req
286. That doesn't happen too often these days.Copy !req
287. Half my wardrobe's hereCopy !req
288. and I'm getting very bored
with wearing the other half.Copy !req
289. Geri, I'm gonna be a while.Copy !req

333. Of course, in my case,Copy !req
334. my car's such a mess anyway,Copy !req
335. a few more bangs wouldn't
make much difference.Copy !req
336. Now, here's Geri NicholsCopy !req

experiment in IllinoisCopy !req
338. that's taking young
people away from crime.Copy !req

351. Goodbye.Copy !req
352. Come on, let's go! Come with me!Copy !req
353. Hey, over here!Copy !req
354. Hold it a minute.Copy !req
355. Let me get this straight.Copy !req
356. Some guy pops up out of
nowhere, he starts shooting,Copy !req
357. and you and your wife don't
know what he looks like?Copy !req
358. That guy saved our lives, damn it!Copy !req
359. Where the hell were you guys?
Giving out parking tickets?Copy !req
360. Hold him.Copy !req
361. All right, lady.Copy !req
362. - What did he look like?
- He was...Copy !req
363. He was a very good
citizen, that's what he was.Copy !req
364. He was a killer!Copy !req
365. Now, you want to stay here
forever? Play it that way.Copy !req
366. You're vital witnesses.
Don't play games with me.Copy !req
367. You both saw him. Now,
I want a description.Copy !req
368. He's 21.Copy !req
369. Blonde with a club foot.Copy !req
370. Hmm, that's funny.Copy !req
371. From where I was, he was a large black manCopy !req
372. with a red beard.Copy !req
373. Now, you let these guys
get me to the hospitalCopy !req
374. or I'm gonna give the press
interviews you won't believe.Copy !req
375. - Take him.
- Close it off upstairs.Copy !req
376. I said close it off!Copy !req
377. You know what we've got here, don't you?Copy !req
378. A vigilante.Copy !req
379. A check on the bullets
of the people killedCopy !req
380. in the last three months on the streetsCopy !req
381. reveals that this bullet,Copy !req
382. and the others found in
the bodies of the dead menCopy !req
383. in the car park and shed two
nights ago, match this bulletCopy !req
384. and the others taken from the
bodies of the people killedCopy !req
385. in the Hollywood Hotel three weeks ago.Copy !req
386. The bullets are from a.32 automatic.Copy !req
387. Let me get this clear.Copy !req
388. The man who shot the muggers
a couple of nights ago,Copy !req
389. some stranger?Copy !req
390. Who the people he saved
refused to identify.Copy !req
391. This stranger also killed
two men in the Hollywood Hotel.Copy !req
392. But there's no evidence to indicateCopy !req
393. that any member of the
public was being attackedCopy !req
394. - In the hotel?
- That's right, sir.Copy !req
395. Come with me, Mankiewicz, will you?Copy !req
396. My wife goes to mace class,Copy !req
397. would you believe that?Copy !req
398. The police commissioner's
wife at mace classCopy !req
399. learning to spray attackers.Copy !req
400. Now you tell me there's
a vigilante out there.Copy !req
401. My God. The lid's only
just kept down as it is.Copy !req
402. I can just see all kinds
of panicked citizensCopy !req
403. taking to the streets if this gets out.Copy !req
404. They'll knock off anyone with
long hair or tacky clothes.Copy !req
405. I think that I can find him.Copy !req
406. If we even start an investigation,Copy !req
407. the press will hear of it.Copy !req
408. I learn half of what
goes on in my own forceCopy !req
409. from the newspapers.Copy !req
410. Tell me...Copy !req
411. wasn't there a vigilante in
Boston about five years ago?Copy !req
412. - New York.
- New York, right.Copy !req
413. Get on to them, see how they handled it.Copy !req
414. It stopped there.Copy !req
415. We don't need outsiders in on this.Copy !req
416. You know, Mankiewicz,
I had a partner years agoCopy !req
417. who always used to say to me,Copy !req
418. "You don't need anybody's
help, just do things yourself."Copy !req
419. Do you know where he is now? Hmm?Copy !req
420. Did everything himself
until he got killed.Copy !req
421. No, I'm a modest man,
Inspector Mankiewicz.Copy !req
422. I know when I need help.Copy !req
423. Check it out.Copy !req
424. I want to hear what New York has to say.Copy !req
425. Paul, look. My wife's
just made this new drawing.Copy !req
426. No, no. You're holding it wrong way up.Copy !req
427. What is it?Copy !req
428. It's the new entrance doorway.Copy !req
429. It's like a medieval lodge.Copy !req
430. Yesterday, it was an
overhanging walkway,Copy !req
431. and that's what we're measuring for now.Copy !req
432. Today, it's a new medieval doorway?Copy !req
433. She changed her mind.Copy !req
434. - Egads, what's that?
- Never mind, Geri.Copy !req
435. Well, what have you two found out?Copy !req
436. Well, Halper at the
police department saidCopy !req
437. that there's talk of a vigilanteCopy !req
438. who's knocking off L.A.'s muggers.Copy !req
439. Yes, and that ties in with
what we've been picking upCopy !req
440. from the police wavelengthsCopy !req
441. the night of the warehouse killing.Copy !req
442. We've been playing
into this gang warfare.Copy !req
443. No, but I think you gotta
put somebody on it full time.Copy !req
444. You wanted more local news.Copy !req
445. If we can pick up a vigilante,
that's really something!Copy !req
446. Geri's working on a projectCopy !req
447. on citizens arming
themselves against attack.Copy !req
448. Elliot, it just fits right in.Copy !req
449. We can't afford anyone on it full time.Copy !req
450. What hard evidence have you got?Copy !req
451. Our man downtown's been
right before, Elliot.Copy !req
452. Paul? You're the
public, what do you think?Copy !req
453. Is there a vigilante?Copy !req
454. Vigilante? Not likely.Copy !req
455. Forget it, Fred.Copy !req
456. It's still gang warfare until
we find something solid.Copy !req
457. Now, I want to talk to
you about that helicopter.Copy !req
458. Do you realize how much
it's costing us an hour?Copy !req
459. Thank you very much, that
was going to be my story.Copy !req
460. I mean, I don't help
you with your buildings.Copy !req
461. Well, thank God for that.Copy !req
462. I've got enough help from Elliot's wife.Copy !req
463. Straight on back.Copy !req
464. The district attorney will see you now.Copy !req
465. Thank you.Copy !req
466. - Yes, Inspector Ochoa.
- Mr. District Attorney.Copy !req
467. You know the police
commissioner, of course.Copy !req
468. Well, what about this report? You've —Copy !req
469. What do I know?Copy !req
470. The Los Angeles police
has asked for adviceCopy !req
471. on their vigilante situation.Copy !req
472. But there's something
else you should know, sir.Copy !req
473. Paul Kersey now lives in Los Angeles.Copy !req
474. Oh, my God.Copy !req
475. Yes.Copy !req
476. Are you suggesting that
Kersey's out there killing again?Copy !req
477. Paul Kersey was an interesting man,Copy !req
478. so I kept a loose tab on him.Copy !req
479. He worked in Chicago for a while,Copy !req
480. where he met an old friend of hisCopy !req
481. who ran a radio station in I A.Copy !req
482. And he transferred his business out there.Copy !req
483. But that doesn't mean that
he's the Los Angeles vigilante.Copy !req
484. No, sir.Copy !req
485. What if he is?Copy !req
486. Yes, sir.Copy !req
487. If he is, and if he's caught,Copy !req
488. the trail leads straight back to us.Copy !req
489. We had him and we didn't prosecute.Copy !req
490. For damn good reason.Copy !req
491. Street crime was down 50%.Copy !req
492. Muggers were afraid to
go out in the streets!Copy !req
493. Never mind that, commissioner.Copy !req
494. We know we'd have a martyr on our handsCopy !req
495. if we brought him to trial,Copy !req
496. but the fact is, we let him go.Copy !req
497. If he's caught now, he'll
tell the world we let him go.Copy !req
498. I'd be disbarred.Copy !req
499. It'd be the end of your
career, Mr. Commissioner.Copy !req
500. And you, Inspector, would
not collect your pension.Copy !req
501. And I retire this year.Copy !req
502. Well, it's quite simple.Copy !req
503. We have to get him before they get him.Copy !req
504. We?Copy !req
505. You.Copy !req
506. Well, I could go to Los AngelesCopy !req
507. in answer to their request.Copy !req
508. And I'll try to find outCopy !req
509. if Kersey's up to his old tricks again.Copy !req
510. And if he is, I'll try
to stop him. Quietly.Copy !req
511. Kill him?Copy !req
512. I don't think I heard
that question, sir.Copy !req
513. And I don't think you asked
it, Mr. District Attorney.Copy !req
514. Looks good.Copy !req
515. Tastes good, too.Copy !req
516. - It's a special occasion.
- What's the occasion?Copy !req
517. It's the first time I've
seen you in four weeks.Copy !req
518. I've been seeing you at the office.Copy !req
519. Oh, sure. Last week you sent me a memo.Copy !req
520. Two memos.Copy !req
521. I'm sorry.Copy !req
522. What's happening to us, Paul?Copy !req
523. I can't stop thinking about Carol.Copy !req
524. Well, it hasn't stopped youCopy !req
525. discussing building services with Elliot.Copy !req
526. And it hasn't slowed your work down.Copy !req
527. I'm the only one that's been shut out.Copy !req
528. I miss you, Paul.Copy !req
529. Darling, well, at least stay the night?Copy !req
530. I need more time.Copy !req
531. I think if this weren't my
apartment, I'd walk out now.Copy !req
532. - Hi, Frank, over here.
- Mike, good to see you.Copy !req
533. - Frank, welcome to L.A.
- Thank you.Copy !req
534. - Gesundheit.
- Thank you.Copy !req
535. Is this the file?Copy !req
536. Newspaper clippings and police
photographs on Paul Kersey.Copy !req
537. Most of them, of course,
are about how his daughterCopy !req
538. and housekeeper were killed by muggers.Copy !req
539. So you never found outCopy !req
540. - who your vigilante was?
- Never.Copy !req
541. We heard rumors that
you did get the guy.Copy !req
542. Just rumors.Copy !req
543. We were gonna check out
every person who sufferedCopy !req
544. a loss through muggings
in the last six months,Copy !req
545. particularly a death.Copy !req
546. How many people did
that give you?Copy !req
547. Well, deaths... 96.Copy !req
548. Seriously injured, 1,500.Copy !req
549. Rapes, 579. I can go on.Copy !req
550. Mm-hmm. You tie down
a lot of men that way.Copy !req
551. What did you do?Copy !req
552. We tried that route, but we gave up.Copy !req
553. I'm going back to the
hotel, I want to lie down.Copy !req
554. I think I caught a cold on the plane.Copy !req
555. And the smog doesn't help, anyway.Copy !req
556. - Hey, babe?
- Yeah?Copy !req
557. You're not
holding out on me, are you?Copy !req
558. Hey, one cop to another,
would I do a thing like that?Copy !req
559. It's all right, Miss
Nichols. I'm a policeman.Copy !req
560. - How did you get in?
- It comes with the job.Copy !req
561. You'd be amazed at the
things they teach us.Copy !req
562. What's a New York cop doing
breaking into my apartment?Copy !req
563. It's about your friend, Mr. Paul Kersey.Copy !req
564. How do you know him?Copy !req
565. - It comes with the —
- With the job.Copy !req
566. He killed nine people in
New York City four years ago.Copy !req
567. You're not serious.Copy !req
568. I'm very serious.Copy !req
569. What station are you from?Copy !req
570. West 75th street. Ah, ah, ah!Copy !req
571. It won't help calling anybody.Copy !req
572. Well, they sent you, didn't they?Copy !req
573. Well, not exactly.Copy !req
574. Was Mr. Kersey charged
with killing nine people?Copy !req
575. He was not.Copy !req
576. See, the people he killed were muggers.Copy !req
577. Even though the public
never knew who he was,Copy !req
578. he became a hero.Copy !req
579. And there were those that
felt we should encourage himCopy !req
580. to stop and leave it at that.Copy !req
581. But now, you see, he's doing it again.Copy !req
582. Here, in Los Angeles.Copy !req
583. But there's no one I can
call to verify all this?Copy !req
584. My chief thinks I'm on vacation.Copy !req
585. You break in here and tell
me you think Paul's a murderer.Copy !req
586. What else are you entitled to tell me?Copy !req
587. We think it would be
better if he stopped.Copy !req
588. I asked him once, it didn't seem to work.Copy !req
589. I think maybe he'll listen to you.Copy !req
590. I hardly ever see him
outside of the radio station.Copy !req
591. Doesn't it make you wonder
what he may be doing at night?Copy !req
592. Hey, mister, got a half hour to spare?Copy !req
593. What's wrong with you?
Haven't you got one?Copy !req
594. Paul, where have you been?Copy !req
595. - I was just out.
- Well, out where?Copy !req
596. I was with a friend.Copy !req
597. - A man.
- What man?Copy !req
598. Calm down.Copy !req
599. Where do you think I've been?Copy !req
600. Killing muggers.Copy !req
601. You're crazy!Copy !req
602. A New York cop broke
into my place tonight.Copy !req
603. Not that.. what the hell's
his name.. Frank Ochoa?Copy !req
604. Well, he said he talked to you once.Copy !req
605. He asked me not to kill muggers.Copy !req
606. He told me that.Copy !req
607. Yes, that's true.Copy !req
608. That you killed muggers?Copy !req
609. No, that he asked me not to.Copy !req
610. Why would he ask you not toCopy !req
611. if you weren't doing
it in the first place?Copy !req
612. Listen, when a policeman
finds a Killer, what does he do?Copy !req
613. They arrest him.Copy !req
614. Well, he did seem a bit odd.Copy !req
615. Not only odd, the guy is crazy.Copy !req
616. It's that simple.Copy !req
617. He had a moment in his life
when he was a somebody.Copy !req
618. He was in charge of the
vigilante killings in New York.Copy !req
619. He was all over the
newspapers, the television,Copy !req
620. asked a lot of questions.Copy !req
621. And the most important
question they asked him was,Copy !req
622. "Who is the vigilante?Copy !req
623. Have you found the vigilante?"Copy !req
624. And of course, he hadn't.Copy !req
625. And me, I was one on a long list of peopleCopy !req
626. who had family killed by the muggers.Copy !req
627. For all I know, he might have
accused every one of them.Copy !req
628. But he became such a damn
pest that I left New York.Copy !req
629. But I'll be damned if I leave Los Angeles!Copy !req
630. I'm not gonna let him
come between you and me.Copy !req
631. - I thought things had.
- What?Copy !req
632. Come between us.Copy !req
633. Hell no.Copy !req
634. Stay the night?Copy !req
635. I thought you'd never ask.Copy !req
636. Why did you change the locks on your door?Copy !req
637. Wouldn't you,
after what happened?Copy !req
638. - Do I get a key again?
- Oh, yeah.Copy !req
639. Here, you can have it copied.Copy !req
640. Now, don't lose I,Copy !req
641. we may not be able to get back in tonight.Copy !req
642. Oh, I can't see you tonight.Copy !req
643. - Why not?
- It's Judy's birthdayCopy !req
644. and I'm staying over with her
in Carmel after the party.Copy !req
645. Now who's keeping us apart?Copy !req
646. Darling, it's him. Ochoa.Copy !req
647. Well, never mind him.Copy !req
648. Let him play his little games.Copy !req
649. Will you call me when you get back?Copy !req
650. Hello. Frank, hi!Copy !req
651. Mike?Copy !req
652. I hate to ask you this after
you've been so helpful,Copy !req
653. but could you do something for me tonight?Copy !req
654. Yeah, go ahead. What is it?Copy !req
655. I want you to take my car and park itCopy !req
656. outside the front of Paul Kersey's house.Copy !req
657. Police!Copy !req
658. Follow the bus!Copy !req
659. This is
proclaimed by God himselfCopy !req
660. in the holy scripture.Copy !req
661. He's the prince of the kings of the earth.Copy !req
662. One of these days, he'll
be called King of Kings.Copy !req
663. Yes, heir of the heirs,Copy !req
664. prince of kings is just
the beginning of his glory.Copy !req
665. We must confess in GodCopy !req
666. that if thou shall confess the
Lord Jesus with thy mouth...Copy !req
667. It all comes down to churchCopy !req
668. - as a filling station.
- Amen!Copy !req
669. You know, you run in thereCopy !req
670. with your automobile.Copy !req
671. You run outta gas and you
go to the filling stationCopy !req
672. and fill it full up with gas.Copy !req
673. - Amen!
- I'm going fast with it.Copy !req
674. You go in there on Sunday
morning and fill your car up.Copy !req
675. Taxi! Come on, will you?Copy !req
676. Follow that bus!Copy !req
677. It isn't moving.Copy !req
678. When it moves, follow it.Copy !req
679. - What do we do now?
- We Walt.Copy !req
680. Can I see something there?Copy !req
681. Hey! Stop it, stop it!Copy !req
682. I think I saw something!Copy !req
683. Just let me check the color!Copy !req
684. I'll see it one second. Damn!Copy !req
685. See, I really am a nice guy,Copy !req
686. but they act like fools around me.Copy !req
687. Now! That bus there!Copy !req
688. I hope you
got the bread for this.Copy !req
689. This is police business.Copy !req
690. I ain't known
for my community spirit.Copy !req
691. Show me some money.Copy !req
692. Here, start with this.Copy !req
693. Go ahead, will ya!Copy !req
694. Stop it!Copy !req
695. Oh, come on. Leave me alone.Copy !req
696. Oh, give me a break, you guys.Copy !req
697. - What's down there?
- Point Fermin.Copy !req
698. What's that?Copy !req
699. It's one of those historical monuments.Copy !req
700. There's nothing there this time of night.Copy !req
701. You wait here.Copy !req
702. You get the other half when I get back.Copy !req
703. Whatever happens, wait here!Copy !req
704. If you hear shooting, don't worry.Copy !req
705. It's just target practice.Copy !req
706. - What's happening, old man?
- Where you been hiding out?Copy !req
707. - Whoo!
- Ow!Copy !req
708. - All right!
- This is the shit.Copy !req
709. You all right with that?Copy !req
710. All right, let's see the stuff.Copy !req
711. - Show the man.
- Yeah, this is the best.Copy !req
712. This stuff is sweet like sugar.Copy !req
713. Watch out!Copy !req
714. Over there, man!Copy !req
715. Man!Copy !req
716. I'll be damned! You?Copy !req
717. You stuck your neck out for me?Copy !req
718. It was you or them.Copy !req
719. Did you get them all?Copy !req
720. One of them got away.Copy !req
721. Our Father, who art in
Heaven, hallowed...Copy !req
722. He's dead.Copy !req
723. I knew he was holding out on me.Copy !req
724. Lieutenant, over here!Copy !req
725. Listen, I'm at
Point Fermin in San Pedro.Copy !req
726. We need more photographers down here.Copy !req
727. And what about the finger
printer, where the hell are they?Copy !req
728. Who blew away the cop?Copy !req
729. - I'm bleeding, man!
- Who did it?Copy !req
730. No sign of the cab that called in.Copy !req
731. Cab service said he was just passing by,Copy !req
732. he didn't see anything.Copy !req
733. They just want to stay out of trouble.Copy !req
734. Listen, you're gonna die right hereCopy !req
735. if I don't hear who killed that cop.Copy !req
736. Nirvana! He got away.Copy !req
737. - Who's that?
- Charles Wilson!Copy !req
738. Put out a tracer on Nirvana,Copy !req
739. also known as Charles Wilson, for murder.Copy !req
740. No hurry.Copy !req
741. How can an entrance door cost $500,0007?Copy !req
742. Your wife is a very expensive designer.Copy !req
743. She wants Italian marble, Mexican mosaic,Copy !req
744. sculpted angels blowing horns
on either side of the doorway.Copy !req
745. It costs a lot of money.Copy !req
746. But here, we've drawn it up in concrete.Copy !req
747. Even has the angels on
either side of the door.Copy !req
748. It costs a hell of a lot less.Copy !req
749. Why don't you ask your wife about it?Copy !req
750. - She'll hate it.
- Ask her anyhow.Copy !req
751. Let me know one way or the other, will ya?Copy !req
752. Well, do you know what time
they're gonna make their move?Copy !req
753. Aha. Well thanks, Sergeant.Copy !req
754. Will you please keep
those calls coming in?Copy !req
755. - All right.
- Hi, Fred. What's happening?Copy !req
756. Well, there was a big
shoot-out last nightCopy !req
757. at Point Fermin down in San Pedro.Copy !req
758. There were five people killed
including a New York cop.Copy !req
759. And our man at the department saidCopy !req
760. that the Tac Squad's been called in.Copy !req
761. I want you glued to those
police monitors, glued.Copy !req
762. A man called Wilson got away
from the shoot-out last night,Copy !req
763. and the word is they may move to take himCopy !req
764. sometime this afternoon.Copy !req
765. And if they do, I want someone there.Copy !req
766. We could use a good exclusive.Copy !req
767. Say, Fred, where do
you get these monitors?Copy !req
768. Oh, we adapt them
ourselves. Lots of people do.Copy !req
769. Happen to have a spare one lying around?Copy !req
770. There was one we were gonna get rid of.Copy !req
771. Here, we've got better ones now,Copy !req
772. but this one still works pretty well.Copy !req
773. A gift from KABC radio!Copy !req
774. Now, the Tac Squad, they
operate on this band,Copy !req
775. and they identify with 3A-90.Copy !req
776. And the truth is,Copy !req
777. their programs are a lot
more interesting than ours.Copy !req
778. Thanks, Fred.Copy !req
779. BA-68, subject's
residence located as 914 Fillmore.Copy !req
780. Units moving into position.Copy !req
781. 5H-13, this is 3A-90.Copy !req
782. We could use a definite 10-20.Copy !req
783. Affirmative, 914 Fillmore.Copy !req
784. Stay clear.Copy !req
785. No units to move until I give the word.Copy !req
786. Squad three moving into position, over.Copy !req
787. 5H-13, this is 3A-90.Copy !req
788. We have eyeball on your 10-30, over.Copy !req
789. - Has he spotted you?
- Negative.Copy !req
790. We're across the street from the 10-20.Copy !req
791. Can take him now.Copy !req
792. - Hold it, he's mine.
- Standing by.Copy !req
793. 3A-90, this is 5C-61.Copy !req
794. Sir, they just entered 10-20
with two exits.Copy !req
795. 3A-46, subject lighting object.Copy !req
796. Appears to be narcotics.Copy !req
797. - Permission to move in?
- Negative.Copy !req
798. I don't want those women involved.Copy !req
799. Wait 'til he comes out.Copy !req
800. - George, you got a cigarette?
- 3A-68, you are in position.Copy !req
801. Section 804, await instructions.Copy !req
802. This is 3A-90.Copy !req
803. Someone just jumped onto the roof of 914.Copy !req
804. Confirm it was one of us, over.Copy !req
805. How the hell do I know who it is?Copy !req
806. Hold your positions!Copy !req
807. Where the hell have you been?Copy !req
808. Watch out! He's got a knife!Copy !req
809. Cool it, the streets are too crowded!Copy !req
810. Hold your fire!Copy !req
811. Okay, fellas, let's get him!Copy !req
812. Come on, hold him down!Copy !req
813. Hold him! That's it, take it easy, guys.Copy !req
814. That's it, thank you, all right.Copy !req
815. - Hi.
- Hi.Copy !req
816. How was the birthday party?Copy !req
817. Oh, we're getting a
bit old for birthdays.Copy !req
818. - Have you seen this?
- Oh, yeah. I saw it.Copy !req
819. Do you know anything about it?Copy !req
820. No more than you do.Copy !req
821. I understand your station,
KABC, got an exclusiveCopy !req
822. this afternoon when they
caught the guy who killed him.Copy !req
823. I heard it in the car.Copy !req
824. Have you eaten?Copy !req
825. No, I drove straight
here when I heard the news.Copy !req
826. Let's go to a nice place tonight.Copy !req
827. Okay, but I'd like to freshen up first.Copy !req
828. How long will it take
you? About an hour?Copy !req
829. About that.Copy !req
830. I'll pick you up in an hour.Copy !req
831. You know, I rather liked him.Copy !req
832. He was nutty, just like I told you.Copy !req
833. Well, at least they caught
the man that killed him.Copy !req
834. See you later.Copy !req
835. Prosecution has presented
only circumstantial evidenceCopy !req
836. that Charles Wilson was
the person that shotCopy !req
837. and killed Detective Frank
Ochoa on the night of May 14th.Copy !req
838. It is proven that the defendant attackedCopy !req
839. several police officers on May 15th,Copy !req
840. but psychiatric testimony indicatesCopy !req
841. that he was under the influence of PCP,Copy !req
842. a mind-altering drug.Copy !req
843. Charles I. Wilson was remandedCopy !req
844. to the McLarren State HospitalCopy !req
845. until such time as the
medical examining boardCopy !req
846. finds him fit to resume
his place in society.Copy !req
847. And I suppose this is the Dr. ClarkCopy !req
848. that's gonna turn him
into a little angel, huh?Copy !req
