[" promoting hip-hop music on the radio HQ ihtuners."
I'm way up here above the clouds and nobody knows where I am.
I can see from miles around me, better than anybody can.
And I'm safe inside my spaceship and I'm traveling faster than sound.
But I'd like to touch some friends I know down there on the ground.
Blue steamroller.
There's a room outside my window and it's got me thinking hard.
There might be something I should see right beyond the yard.
I'm not planning to leave you, cause you're the best friend that I've found.
And I'm hanging up my Astro shoes and staying here in town.
Oh, Kevin.
Come.
What's the matter?
Man, broken? Come.
All right, don't tell me.
See? I'm broken.
What happened here?
Man, cannon. Cannon shot. Man, man run away.
Excuse me, sir, this is a restricted area.
I saw him.
Man, cannon, man, broken, broken blood.
What did you see, sir?
He gets that way sometimes.
Hey, Mark.
Yeah, get these people's address, we believe so.
Apollo, a month.
One three four five two. What's that?
And the boy, Terry, and he lives in my building.
The one I have my story.
Not my building, but I own it, you understand.
What happened here?
Well, you could say the election campaign's just been shot to pieces.
Good afternoon.
I'm Robert Ironside, San Francisco police.
I understand your boy may have seen what happened here.
Oh, no, no, not to my boy.
He lives in my building with his mother.
I'd like to talk to him if you don't mind.
Jerry.
This is Wing Commander.
All planes return to home base.
Repeat.
All planes return to home base.
Nice landing.
Can you tell me what you did today, Jerry?
I bet it was pretty funny what you saw.
Or was it scary?
Maybe we can talk about it tomorrow.
I'll come and visit you.
Will the murder of Bill Ellis affect your bid for election, Councilman?
Of course it will. He was my campaign manager, also a close friend.
It's a terrible tragedy.
Not only affects those who knew him, but the community as well.
But will the murder affect the outcome of the election?
At this moment, the election is not uppermost in my mind.
Excuse me, please.
Mr. Cogswell, one more question, if you would, sir.
Now, this has been a pretty tough and dirty campaign.
Would you say that the Ellis murder was politically motivated?
Look, in an age where murder and violence have become commonplace in the political arena,
that possibility can't be ruled out.
Thank you, sir.
While Mr. Cogswell still holds a substantial lead in the latest polls,
his closest opponent earlier today leveled new charges.
At his own campaign headquarters, Harold Chambers commented, and we quote,
Cogswell's running scared. We're catching up.
And he'll do anything, say anything, and use anything,
including the death of his closest friend in an attempt to hold us off.
Municipal Justice Arthur Brody, running last in the three-man race,
has so far declined to comment.
I'll have more news after this message.
I would like to help Mr. Ironside, but I surely don't know what to do.
When he gets into one of his moods like now, he just might as well be on the moon.
Believe me, I know. I got to live with it.
What I'd like to do is to take Jerry to a hospital I know of
where they've had a great deal of success treating children
with the same kind of problem as Jerry had.
Well, there isn't anything I wouldn't do for my son,
but I couldn't afford all those doctor bills.
I've already made arrangements. It won't cost you a penny.
I'll be going with him, too, providing you grant permission, of course.
Oh, and naturally you have my permission. I'd be a fool not to let him go.
You have no idea what a burden he's been.
Not that I'm complaining, you understand,
but it can be tiresome just thinking about him all the time.
There's one more thing. Yes?
I'd like to have Jerry's permission, too.
Whatever you say, but if he won't talk or nothing, don't take it back.
Half the time he doesn't even see anybody for all the notice he takes.
See what I mean?
Would you mind leaving us alone?
Fran, perhaps you could give her the hospital release forms to sign.
Hello, Jerry.
Funny thing.
Corners are more complicated than people think.
I haven't really looked at a corner in years.
You know, I'm glad I came to see you.
I'd like you to come and visit me, Jerry.
I've told some friends of mine about you and they've been very kind.
I told some friends of mine about you and they'd like to meet you.
Would you like to come with me and visit them?
This is Dr. Benson. Dr. Jerry Abbott.
Did you have a nice trip?
Your room's ready. I thought we'd give Jerry a chance to unpack before we got...
Wow! Well, Ian, we didn't expect a reception from the Founding Father.
You don't look a day older.
After five years?
I don't know what the diplomatic corps does without you. Good to see you.
You're Jerry Abbott. I'm Dr. Rice.
I suppose you're tired of shaking hands, so I'll just say hello.
You two are going to get the grand tour before we get down to business.
How's he doing?
He seems to be able to do whatever he's asked when he feels like it.
In 24 hours we should have something to talk about.
Can you do anything about this?
You like bothering him?
They act up from time to time.
A small reminder that the years are passing.
A toa way, Zoltan.
If you weren't so pig-headed, you'd consult a doctor who would probably recommend a rubdown once a day to increase your circulation.
That in order, Doctor?
It would be if you were my patient, but my motives are purely selfish.
Pay it.
Physically, the boy is in perfect condition. I get envious when I see somebody that healthy.
But?
But for any number of reasons, he prefers to live in a world of his own creation.
I knew that before I brought him here.
See how smart you are?
How'd you like to join our staff? We haven't had a doctor in a wheelchair since...
Let's get to the point, Ian. What can we do?
There is one tool that may provide a key that will open all of Jerry's locked doors.
You.
Just casual observation shows he likes you. He trusts you.
We're gonna put Jerry in a mild tranquilizer, which we hope will minimize his anxiety, and have him spend as much time with you as possible.
With any luck, he'll start to open up.
What's the prognosis?
There isn't any. He may talk to you tomorrow, next week, or never.
It's time to go.
I'll see you tomorrow.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Well, time to reel in.
On the short hook.
I'd say we did all right.
Three bluegills for you.
14 for me this is the way to live isn't it
in the morning fishing in the afternoon would you like this oh boy boy boy boy boy boy boy
would you be my father
I gave him your wet things and mrs. Abbott is on her way will you talk to her you're a doctor
you'll know what to do couldn't have been an accident oh yeah they wanted to kill him one
crippled cop didn't seem like that much of an obstacle who's afraid of a crippled cop
you know handle his mother for me of course where can I change right here I'm a doctor
I've seen a naked man before there's in family in maybe next time I park in a tollway zone
you'll remember that where to I made an appointment with Councilman Cox what
before you want to talk to me we don't have anything to go on we should start
whatever you think has there been any word on the speedboat it was stolen that's about all but it
wasn't accident oh somebody meant to kill the boy and whoever did it knew where Jerry
was it should know it down we knew Commissioner knew you mean there was a leak I guess that's
what I mean Chief I appreciate your finding the time to see us well I'm as anxious to
get to the bottom of this thing as you are please sit down our records indicate you were
the last person to see Ellis alive yeah so I've heard all right I left him after lunch
I was two o'clock he said he had a 245 appointment he didn't say who or where
was there anyone else with you at lunch no just mapping out our camping strategy for
the next couple of days we always did that in private my wife picked me up at two o'clock
we went home I took a nap for about an hour I'm telling you that will avoid the embarrassment
of you having to ask me where I was at the time of Bill's death I assume you would have
asked hmm oh yes I assume so you hinted that there might be a political motivation involved
at one point I think what I said was that the possibility couldn't be excluded now Bill
was a politician like all politicians he had enemies you have anyone specific in mind let
me put it this way only my opponents could have profited from that act to lose your campaign
manager three weeks before the election it's quite a blow to say the least can you think
of anything else chief I think you've covered all the bases well that case gentlemen sure
I knew Bill Ellis anyone in city politics had to know him he had more clout than two-thirds
of the dead beats in office sigh from that he was a nice guy friendly judge we're trying
to get a line on who might have killed it I think that's admirable you're not making
it any easier I would if it were possible but I think all I would do is just muddy the
waters all the more oh we'll take the risk well one of the things you have to do is take
into account the fact that Ellis was a complete and utter opportunist now maybe that's why
I liked him it's not often that you meet a man with a single-minded perverse purity of
purpose he now Cogswell my worthy opponent being vain greedy and not too bright qualities
which appeal to the electorate in that they provide a bond of equality between representative
and constituent never fully appreciated bills talents he neglected to reward him in the
appropriate ways but without bill Cogswell machines bankrupt point being that bill was
about to desert Cogswell and join the camp of my other worthy opponent mr. chambers you
can tell mr. Cogswell that if he keeps bad-mouthing me I might just tell the public what a thief
he really is yes sir I just may do that you're gonna tell him about Ellis changing horses
too ah you boys have been doing your homework have I'd be interested in knowing how you
found that out I'd be very interested Brody Brody Knob Hill's thin-lipped gift of public
life I'll see what I can do for you boys you really have a problem you really do the thing
of it is that so many people might have killed bill even more must have wanted to try one
of his political virtues was knowing where all the bodies were buried he should have
he dug most of the graves himself of course that's assuming that politics is anything
to do with it bill had a very complicated social life now let's consider that affair
he was having with mrs. Brody thanks for the coffee hey listen you boys don't forget to
follow me yeah there was nothing you could have done about it chief gave you the idea
I was thinking about that we're not exactly strangers you know I thought you had some
cooking to do
this iron side residence may I ask who's calling miss Emily Swanson and Mark Sanger how do
you do very well Emily Swanson Fran Belding welcome thank you yeah you know where the
bar is I'll get the chief hey I haven't seen a spread like this since the chief's birthday
well don't get your hopes up too high it's just pot roast what do you mean just pot roast
is great oh you must be someone very special he's on his best behavior best behavior the
bar is open what'll it be a martini would answer a prayer the chief apologizes he says
he really doesn't feel like joining us tonight
hey chief here's one from the boys who are handling that the accident none negative results
on the matchbook lead and then putting the case on inactive status chief do you think
you could give us a hand just tell us what to do but there is more than two weeks of
mail backed up here and we don't know how to handle most of it the Kelsey kidnapping
the Joneses case hijack job on Washington and 20 others more now Ed has been breaking
his back on the Ellis murder and we still don't have anything that means anything chief
we need 79% of all crimes are solved with almost no effort at all by investigative law enforcement
I suggest you read the Forsyth monograph on the subject the mail can wait but enough
let the rest of the department take care of things for once that's what they're paid for
Mark could you give me a hand for a minute do me a favor I often I just thought I know
what you thought I thought it myself but everybody gets depressed from time to time you know
that hey whatever's fine send them in
Dennis sit down all of you I'm sorry having a closer touch lately all right Dennis I can't
complain now the chambers is in office I hope he remembers the help I gave him as DA coffee
no thanks what's the occasion I don't know quite how to say this to you so I'll get right
to the point flat out without fancy language I think you've been working too hard how does
the vacation sound there take a month off relax two months would be like Dennis we've
been friends for a long time you backed me all the way and some pretty long shots I want
you to go along with me this time I'm only asking to take a vacation didn't let me finish
I've had it Dennis I'm resigning take your badge back I refuse to accept your resignation
you have no choice in the matter somewhere in this department there's an information
leak and whoever that pipeline feeds has already tried to kill a boy to stop him from talking
to us now we only have two aces they think the boy is dead and they don't know what he
might have told me so we have only one course of action left we have to get those cards
into the game and since I'm the only logical player I'm going underground and your cover
if we try to discredit you nobody will believe us but they might believe I quit because of
depression over the death of a child ask Mark and Fran and Ed a lot of people still won't
understand I'm not thinking of a lot of people I'm thinking of a ten-year-old boy and I'm
thinking about you it's a cold world out there you'll be alone old enemies surface quickly
when they smell blood Dennis my mind is made what about your staff what happens to them
when you're gone that's up to you whatever I know they'll understand Bob Dennis this
was not an easy decision to make it's not going to be easy to live with now I don't
need arguments right now I need your blessing
are you sure this is all you want to take chief and doesn't really need much when you
think about it you ready yeah wherever you are we'll be thinking about you now wait a
minute let's get one thing clear I don't want you thinking about me I want you concentrating
on your new assignments you dig yes sir okay if I'm gonna make this thing work we can't
take any chances you go to your new jobs and you play it straight leave the undercover
work to me you dig yeah we dig take care of yourself chief good luck officer
sure
Take the freeway over to the east side.
Chief, you don't want to live there.
Where I want to live and where I can't live are two different things.
All I've got is a pension, Mark.
I will take it. Oh, jeez.
You heard him say he'll take it, didn't you?
What do you care anyway? You don't got to live here.
Give me my bag, Mark.
Yes, sir.
Now that's going to be 35 a month, the first of every month, the route you go.
You got to pay your own gas and electric.
That's fine.
You got a job?
I am retired.
From what?
I used to be a policeman.
That's got to be a stinking job.
The outside door is always open.
I live right upstairs, so don't go stomping around at all hours.
Don't worry.
You pay your rent on time and don't make trouble.
We'll get along fine.
Put them down anywhere, then you can take off.
Hey, Chief, I got two more days off and I figured I'd stick around
and give you a hand straight in place.
Thank you, but that's not the way I want it.
Good luck, Mark.
Chief, hang in there.
Thank you.
One of these, soldier.
Got any specials on bourbon?
Give me the cheapest we got.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Anything else?
That's all, thanks.
I'll be fine, officer.
At 49 cents a pound.
Yeah, I'd be meaning to change the side.
Hey, what's the matter with you?
Don't you want to sell?
Hey, he's a cop.
So what do you care?
Sell to him.
Can't you see he's a cripple?
Sorry I'm late.
No problem.
What about Fran?
She'll shake free tomorrow.
How's Chief?
Same routine.
No mark?
No.
Same routine.
You're getting the feeling he's not getting around.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
You better hurry up.
Caps out back, unless he's good.
Hang loose.
Yeah.
Grab the hickory, hit him on the head with the hickory, he stands back.
Come on, wheels, how many times I gotta tell you out?
Can a man buy a drink?
I ain't leaving until I get a drink.
No cops in here without a warrant.
Who's a cop? I ain't a cop.
You got the stinkin' cop all over you.
Come on, get out.
There you are.
Let me buy you a drink.
Drink?
Who wants to buy me a drink?
I spent three years in the slammer for something I didn't do.
And you think you can make up for it with a lousy drink?
Give it.
Come on.
All right, the fun's over.
Says who?
Says me.
Now move it, just back off now.
Look, I said now!
The whole joint stinks of bull.
Hey, Chief, you okay?
Now what the hell do you think you're doing?
You think I want you around?
You think I can't take care of myself?
Look, I'm not gonna let you get away with this.
Get your hands off! I came here to drink, you understand?
Now give me a drink.
Yeah, give him a drink all while he's around.
Yeah, okay.
Get out of here.
Go find yourself another cripple.
Really?
Give me another one.
Chewie.
My mama told me
You better listen, girl
The times are getting hard
And it's a cold, cold world
So you better wake up
Wake up, wake up and learn
When you play with fire
You're gonna get yourself burned
Fire, fire, fire
You play with fire
You're gonna get yourself burned
Yeah, yeah
You know I'm going through so many changes
My friends don't recognize me at all
I'm lost in the dark
And I can't seem to find my way anymore
So many faces
They're all around me
And streets of the city
Oh, Lord, they found me
But all these troubles
All these troubles ain't my concern
When you play with fire
You're gonna get yourself burned
Yeah
Fire, fire, fire
You play with fire
You're gonna get yourself burned
Fire, fire, fire
You play with fire
How's it going?
Oh, can't complain, can't complain.
Same price.
Here we are on the freeway
And I'm driving us to Maserati.
Two cars full of highway patrol cops
Tearing after us.
I only stole a car so that Eddie could get to San Boudou.
Hey, Chief, how are you?
What's the deal?
Anyway, I got the gas pedal floored
and we pulled away.
Those cops are parked.
And old Eddie's yelling, slow down, you're crazy.
I said, what for?
We're only doing 135.
Scared of the devil.
You know, we'd have almost made it,
but I couldn't take that elephant at that speed.
So we ended up on a few cones.
So two minutes later, the cops were all on the place.
He's clean.
Hey, punk, tell me about yesterday.
What about yesterday?
Oh, come on now, smiley, tell him.
I know you got nothing to hide.
Come on, blow it out your rig.
All right, tough guy.
He was with me.
Shut up, Rummy.
I am prepared to sign a desposition to that effect
with an addition that you have failed to inform this man
of his constitutional rights to some extent.
I am prepared to sign a desposition to that effect
with an addition that you have failed to inform this man
of his constitutional rights to silence
and that you've attempted to intimidate him
with threatening behavior.
Well, we can a tangle straight new out.
Oh, hey, Chief, geez, I'm sorry.
I just wasn't expecting to...
Hi, Chief. Gee, I'm sorry.
I'm Parker.
I worked for you once, administration.
Well, they all worked for me once.
It's good to see you, Parker.
Yeah. Well, I mean, I don't think you know
what's going down here, Chief.
I mean, you couldn't have been with him yesterday.
No, I just said I was, didn't I?
I ought to know, shouldn't I,
since you worked for me once?
Okay. Let's hear it.
Where and when?
Smiley was with me from 2 o'clock until 5.30.
He was kind enough to take me over to the park.
Oh, you better think about that.
I got two witnesses who say different.
Don't try and bluff me, Sonny.
You got one witness who gave a general description,
and that's all.
Now, you either arrest him or move out.
