00:00Once upon a time, there were three little girls who went to the police academy, one
00:07in Los Angeles, one in San Francisco, the other in Boston, and they were each assigned
00:19very hazardous duties, but I took them away from all that, and now they work for me.
00:26My name is Charlie.
01:26Sergeant Cates, they're here.
01:53Same people you've been watching?
01:55Same ones.
01:56It's your ballgame now.
01:58We're moving.
01:59Freeze!
02:01Freeze!
02:20Freeze!
02:27Andy!
02:31Freeze!
02:46Cates, he's unarmed!
02:50Cates, he's unarmed!
03:00Sergeant Cates.
03:05Yeah!
03:08He's dead.
03:14Freeze!
03:15Freeze!
03:21Freeze!
03:22Freeze, I said, freeze right there!
03:30Freeze!

06:54Who is it?
06:56Kelly Garrett.
06:58Is Sergeant Cates in?
07:00He's in court today.
07:03Yes, I know. I was supposed to pick him up.
07:06He must have forgot.
07:08You should have called yourself.
07:12Is Sergeant Cates your father?
07:14Yes.
07:17Is your mother here?
07:19She doesn't live here.
07:23Are you alone?
07:26Yes.
07:30What's your name?
07:32Greg.
07:36Are you all right?
07:38Yes, I'm fine.
07:52You're hurt.
07:54I'm okay.
07:56You're not okay.
07:58What happened?
08:00I fell down.
08:02How?
08:04Outside in the yard.
08:06I fell down.
08:09Has your father taken you to see a doctor?
08:12Yes.
08:15When?
08:17This morning.
08:19What did the doctor say?
08:22He said I'm going to be all right.
08:25You better leave now.
08:28Will you be all right?
08:32I'll be fine.
08:34I'll be just fine.
08:37You sure?
08:39I'm sure.
08:41I just fell down. I'll be fine.
08:45All right, Greg. I'll see you later.
09:02See you later.
09:28Do you know who she is?
09:30No.
09:32No, but...
09:34But what?
09:36I think I saw her car last night.
09:38You mean at the store you hit?
09:41Yeah, I think so. Just before I split.
09:44She's maybe the one who tipped the cops.
09:46Hey, B, let's find out. Follow her.
10:00Let's go.
10:31Where have you been?
10:33I've been to your house.
10:35Why?
10:37Well, last night you told me to pick you up at your house this morning.
10:40Oh, yeah, that's right. I did, didn't I?
10:43Yeah.
10:45Well, something turned up this morning.
10:47Your son's accident?
10:49You've seen my son?
10:51Yes. He has some nasty bruises.
10:54I told him to stay in the house, and I told him not to let anyone in.
10:59I let myself in.
11:01Why? If I wasn't there, why did you go in my home?
11:05I was concerned about your son.
11:08Look, we're not here to talk about my son.
11:11There are two punks in there, and one of them's got a friend that killed my partner.
11:14And he is still on the street, and I want him.
11:17Sergeant Cates, I know how you must feel.
11:20No, you don't know how I feel, or what I feel, or how often I feel it.
11:23You're an overpaid, underworked private eye who's doing this for a fat fee.
11:28Now, let's stick to business, and leave my personal life out of it.
11:31Okay?
11:33All right.
11:35Anything you say.
11:41Well, I don't know if she tipped the cops to you last night.
11:44But she's certainly involved in this somehow.
11:47Which gets us back to, who is she?
11:50And how come you three didn't know you were being watched?
11:53Maybe because we were so busy taking all the risks.
11:55Delivering the stuff to you two.
11:59Listen, smart mouth.
12:01You're a cop killer.
12:03Every cop in this city's gonna be looking for you.
12:06And that makes you a liability to us.
12:09Best you mind your manners.
12:11Mind your manners, Stone.
12:13And you better make sure I keep breathing.
12:15Because if I don't stay healthy, my two friends are gonna start talking about...
12:17Just leave him alone!
12:19Oh, punk.
12:24I think we better get his friends a lawyer.
12:27Then figure a way how to spring him.
12:30And you better do it quick.
12:32Because they're gonna get scared. Fast.
12:36That ain't gonna be easy.
12:41Cage has got a kid.
12:43And the lady's only a lady.
12:47We'll find a way.
13:03Any progress with the two the police have in custody yet, Kelly?
13:06Negative, Charlie.
13:08But a very expensive lawyer arrived at the arraignment yesterday.
13:11And they went very quiet, very quickly.
13:14I'd love to know who hired that lawyer.
13:16Obviously someone very near and dear to those two.
13:20And worried they might not stay quiet.
13:22Well, in the meantime, how do we find our client's stolen merchandise...
13:26and not get in the way of Sergeant Cates and his investigation?
13:28We wait, Chris.
13:30For the moment, the investigation is more important than recovering Consolidated's merchandise.
13:35When Cates breaks his case, he'll also break ours.
13:39So, for the moment, we wait.
13:42Right.
13:45Kelly? Something wrong?
13:47What?
13:49You seem preoccupied. Is something on your mind?
13:54Yes, I guess there is, Charlie.
13:58You want to tell us about it?
14:00No, not yet.
14:03Not until I'm sure.
14:04Where are you going?
14:06To see a little boy with a bruised face.
14:09I'll call you later.
14:12Okay.
14:32Well, Stone, who is she?
14:34That good-looking thing is a P.I.
14:37She just came out of a place called Townsend Associates.
14:39Meaning what?
14:41Meaning that she's probably been hired by the people we've been ripping off.
14:44Meaning she could know plenty.
14:46You've got it wrong.
15:11I'm sorry.
15:41I'm sorry.
16:12Hi.
16:14Hi.
16:16Remember me?
16:18I'm scared.
16:20How are you doing today?
16:22Okay.
16:27Would you tell me something?
16:31Yeah.
16:34Tell me how you hurt yourself.
16:38Tell me how you hurt yourself.
16:41I told you, I fell down.
16:45Yeah, I know what you told me.
16:48I just don't understand how you could hurt yourself that way.
16:57Greg.
16:59It looks like somebody hit you.
17:02Nobody hit me.
17:05I'm sure you love your father.
17:07My father didn't hit me.
17:09Well, I'm not saying he did.
17:11Why should I think that?
17:13You shouldn't.
17:27Greg, I want to be your friend.
17:29Can you believe that?
17:31I guess.
17:34Then listen to me.
17:36Your father's a good man.
17:39But he's tired.
17:41And he's been under a great deal of pressure.
17:45And he can lose his temper very easily.
17:48Do you understand what I'm saying?
17:51Yes.
17:53So, if he did lose his temper, if he did hurt you,
18:00it doesn't mean he doesn't love you.
18:03I know that.
18:05Good.
18:07Then you might also have to understand that he needs help.
18:13Help?
18:15Yes. You can help him.
18:17We both can.
18:19If you tell me the truth.
18:34He doesn't mean to.
18:37I know he never means to.
18:40I know he doesn't.
18:43You won't tell him I told you.
18:47Well, if we're going to help him, we've got to be very honest with him.
18:53Please don't tell him I told you.
18:57Promise. Please.
19:03All right. I promise I won't tell him.
19:12Greg, where's your mother?
19:15She died.
19:19When?
19:22Two years ago.
19:24My dad misses her real bad.
19:27I miss her real bad.
19:31Greg, I want to be your friend.
19:34So, no matter what happens, I want you to remember that.
19:39All right?
19:41I'll remember.
19:44All right.
19:46I've got to be going.
19:48Will I get to see you again?
19:50Yes. You'll definitely see me again.
20:00I love you.
20:30I love you.
21:01I love you.
21:10Why is she spending so much time with Kate's kid?
21:13I don't know.
21:15I don't care, but if she makes it to court and testifies against his two friends,
21:19we'll all take the gas.
21:23Hello?
21:25Bosley?
21:26Kelly, where have you been?
21:28To see Sergeant Kate's son.
21:31I'm on my way back to the office, Bos.
21:34I need to talk to somebody.
21:36Anyone in particular?
21:38You'll do for starters.
21:40Eventually, I'm afraid it's going to be the Department of Social Services.
21:44What are you talking about?
21:46A battered child.
21:48Whose?
21:50Sergeant Kate's.
21:52Kate's?
21:54Yeah. I'll be there in a little while, Bos.
21:57Yeah, well, I'll be here.
22:19I think we should move on her now.
22:22You mean kill her?
22:25Yeah. Kill her.
22:28The sooner the better.
22:48Hey.
23:18All right, get ready.
23:49How we doing?
23:51All right.
23:52Go for it.
24:18Go for it.
24:49Go for it.
24:52Go for it.
25:17Hey, do me a favor.
25:19Next time you make a move on the lady, let me out.
25:36You couldn't see who was in the car, Kelly.
25:39Charlie, I can hardly remember what the car looked like.
25:42I think it was a Cadillac.
25:44Blue.
25:46Maybe these people in this Cadillac were involved in the Consolidated case.
25:50Yes, it could have been them or it could have been any number of people.
25:53We make enemies in this line of work.
25:56Meanwhile, there's a more immediate problem.
25:58You mean Sergeant Kate's son?
26:00Yes.
26:02You're really serious about this, Kelly?
26:05Dead serious, Charlie.
26:07Kelly, I really understand, but this could get very messy.
26:10I mean, accusing a police officer of child abuse?
26:13Police officers are just men who wear uniforms.
26:16They can get in trouble like any of us.
26:19And Sergeant Kate's is in trouble.
26:21All right, Kelly, we'll go along with you.
26:24But before you do anything, I think you should talk to Sergeant Kate's.
26:27I think you owe him that.
26:29I've already called him, Charlie.
26:31We're meeting for lunch.
26:33All right. Keep in touch.
26:35I'll help in any way I can.
26:44You're late.
26:46Five minutes.
26:48Five minutes wasted is five minutes lost.
26:52Or is it the other way around?
26:54Does it matter?
26:56It depends.
26:58I don't know.
27:00I don't know.
27:02I don't know.
27:04I don't know.
27:06I don't know.
27:08I don't know.
27:10I don't know.
27:12Well, we'll go lunch.
27:14On what?
27:16If you're in a hurry.
27:18And you are?
27:20Well, my partner's dead.
27:22The fella that killed him is still on the street.
27:24Yeah, I'm in a hurry.
27:26Too much in a hurry.
27:28Sergeant Kate's, I think you better slow down.
27:31What's that mean?
27:34I've got something to say to you.
27:37I've given it a lot of thought,
27:39and it's very difficult for me.
27:41Well, what are you getting at?
27:44Your son, Sergeant Cates.
27:46I want to talk to you about your son.
27:48Didn't we already have that discussion about you staying out of my private life?
27:51Well, I'm sorry. I can't.
27:52What do you mean, you can't? I'm telling you.
27:54I'm telling you, Sergeant. I know what's been happening.
27:58You better stop right now before you say something you'll regret.
28:00Sergeant, Sergeant, I... I know it sounds ugly, and it is ugly.
28:05But it's got to be said.
28:07You've hurt your son. You've been hurting him.
28:11Lady, I don't have to listen to you.
28:13Oh, yes, you do have to listen to me.
28:16You can hear it now, or you can hear it in front of a judge.
28:21What are you saying?
28:24I'm saying that your son is a battered child.
28:27I'm saying that I'm... I'm not here to accuse or pass judgment.
28:32I'm here to help you in any way I can.
28:34Why, you sanctimonious...
28:36Where do you get the right to mess around in my personal life?
28:39It's not my rights we're talking about, Sergeant.
28:43It's your son's.
28:45Did he tell you where he hit him?
28:47He told me nothing.
28:48You're lying. He said something.
28:50He said nothing. I figured it out for myself.
28:53And I'm telling you, if I see another bruise on him,
28:57I'll do everything I can to see that he's taken away from you.
29:00Lady, you are making one big mistake.
29:02No, if you don't face this now, you are making the mistake.
29:06I'm here, and I'll help you in any way I can if you'll let me.
29:11It's your choice, Sergeant.
29:12I'll see you in hell.
29:18I'll see you in court.
29:36I'll see you in hell.
29:56Hi.
29:59You all right?
30:01Yeah.
30:03Let's get on with it.
30:15These are rather serious charges, Sergeant Cates.
30:22How do you plead?
30:26My client pleads innocent, Your Honor, and we request a continuance.
30:30Continuance?
30:33On what grounds?
30:35Sergeant Cates is presently involved
30:37in the murder investigation of a fellow police officer.
30:40I have a request from his superior, Captain Deacon,
30:45stating that Sergeant Cates' skills
30:48are needed in this particular investigation.
30:52Vestal. Vestal.
30:54Your Honor, may I approach the bench?
30:56Come forward.
30:58Yes, this does seem to indicate that Sergeant Cates is indispensable.
31:02Your Honor, this is the report of the court-appointed physician
31:04who examined the boy.
31:11Your Honor, I really believe for the child's welfare
31:13this case has to be heard now.
31:15Your Honor, Sergeant Cates has been put under severe emotional pressure
31:20because of the death of his fellow officer.
31:22I feel it would be extremely unfair
31:24to ask him to defend himself in this matter at this time.
31:27Well, we certainly can sympathize with Sergeant Cates.
31:30Perhaps the matter would be more judicially weighted in a later time.
31:34On the other hand, it's the welfare of the boy
31:36that must be the first concern of this court.
31:40I will allow the continuance,
31:43and the boy must be placed in the custody of the court
31:45until the matter is settled.
31:47Thank you, Your Honor.
31:49And you will find suitable environment for the boy.
31:51Until the hearing.
31:52Miss Garrett has offered to take the boy
31:54until the custody matter is settled.
32:01That's a rather unusual request, Miss James,
32:04considering that she's the one who initiated this action.
32:07I object strongly to her keeping this boy.
32:09Listen, Miss Garrett doesn't want to see this on Sergeant Cates' record.
32:13Now, she thinks she can persuade him to voluntarily surrender the boy
32:16for a while, until he can seek psychiatric help.
32:19Well, this is all very unusual.
32:23I know, Your Honor, but the circumstances are very unusual.
32:27Maybe if we can bend the rules,
32:29if we can bend the rules just a little,
32:31we can save father and son.
32:35Pending the custody hearing, the boy may stay with Miss Garrett.
33:00Kelly.
33:02I'm fine.
33:03Why don't you take a couple of days off?
33:06That's a good idea. Thank you, Boz.
33:15Listen, maybe one of us should stay with you and the boy for a while.
33:18Oh, we'll be all right.
33:19You sure?
33:21Yeah. Go on. I'll call you.
33:23Promise?
33:24Promise. I'll call.
33:26Okay.
33:29Sergeant, I'm sorry.
33:32You gave me no choice.
33:34I'll get him back, you know.
33:37I don't want to take your son away from you.
33:40When you get rid of whatever devil you've got, he belongs with you.
33:44It's easy for you to sit in judgment, isn't it?
33:47When you can't know any of my reasons.
33:51You're right. I can't know any of the reasons.
33:55I'm sorry.
33:56You're right. I can't know any of the reasons.
34:00But then, even if I did,
34:03it wouldn't make any of your son's pain go away, would it?
34:06Huh?
34:22Greg, you understand? You have to stay with Mascara.
34:25When will I get to see my father again?
34:30I hope very soon, Greg.
34:36Meanwhile, how would you like to see where I live?
34:39I'd like that.
34:42Okay. Let's go.
35:06So it was about eight o'clock in the morning when I woke up.
35:09And I thought to myself,
35:10I've got to get out of here.
35:11I've got to get out of here.
35:12I've got to get out of here.
35:13I've got to get out of here.
35:14I've got to get out of here.
35:15I've got to get out of here.
35:16I've got to get out of here.
35:17I've got to get out of here.
35:18I've got to get out of here.
35:19I've got to get out of here.
35:20I've got to get out of here.
35:21I've got to get out of here.
35:22I've got to get out of here.
35:23I've got to get out of here.
35:24I've got to get out of here.
35:25I've got to get out of here.
35:26I've got to get out of here.
35:27I've got to get out of here.
35:28I've got to get out of here.
35:35So it was about a custody hearing for the kid, huh?
35:37Yeah.
35:38What I could find out...
35:40She's trying to get the kid away from him.
35:42Look, what's this got to do with our problem?
35:45She's still gonna be a witness against my buddies.
35:48Let's concentrate on that.
35:49Listen, when...
35:51We needed some leverage against Cates
35:54when your buddies got a court.
35:56That's it.
35:58What do you mean?
36:00Can you think of any better leverage...
36:03than having a man's kid?
36:26♪
36:56Hey, would you, uh, step inside this guy?
36:59Who are you?
37:00Who am I?
37:01A man with a gun in his pocket.
37:03Step inside.
37:06Hey, would you, uh, step inside this guy?
37:09Who are you?
37:10Who am I?
37:11A man with a gun in his pocket.
37:13Step inside.
37:35♪
37:49Listen, I-I don't know who you are or what you want.
37:52We'll get to that later.
37:54Meanwhile, the kid's had a rough day.
37:56Oh, we don't want to hurt the kid.
37:58Then before you start waving guns around,
38:00why don't we put him in the bedroom?
38:06Hey, hey.
38:08In there.
38:10Do what he says.
38:12You'll be all right.
38:13Stay away from the windows.
38:29What's going on?
38:31I don't know.
38:34What's going on?
38:35Who are you?
38:36We're three guys in a bind.
38:39And you and that kid and his father
38:42are gonna help us out of it.
38:47Let me guess.
38:51You're the people who have been
38:52ripping off Consolidated Appliances.
38:55Oh!
39:01Sergeant Cates.
39:02Yeah, this is Sergeant Cates.
39:03Cates, we're with Miss Garrett and your son.
39:07What?
39:09We don't want to hurt them,
39:10but we'll need a favor from you.
39:12Who is this?
39:13Who we are doesn't matter.
39:15What does matter is that you've got
39:16a couple of friends of ours in custody.
39:19Who is this?
39:20Keep your voice down, Cates.
39:21I'm not in the mood for temperament.
39:23Either you listen to what I have to say
39:26or you'll never see your son again.
39:33Okay.
39:34Okay, I'm listening.
39:36Good.
39:37Now, our two friends were arraigned
39:39a little while ago on the
39:40Consolidated Appliance case.
39:43They're going back to county jail
39:44later this afternoon, is that correct?
39:46Yes, that's the usual procedure.
39:48Well, you're going to change
39:50that procedure, Sergeant.
39:52What do you mean, change it?
39:54You're going to make sure
39:55they never make it back to county.
39:57You're going to see that they're returned to us.
40:00I can't do that.
40:01Of course you can.
40:02You're the officer in charge of the case.
40:04You have the authority.
40:11Wait.
40:12You know, it's not that easy.
40:15Nothing worthwhile in life is easy, Sergeant.
40:18Now, if you want to see your son again,
40:21start setting it up.
40:22We're moving around town.
40:23We'll call you from another phone booth
40:25in exactly one hour.
40:28You got any food around here?
40:31I just ran out.
40:33Look, I don't like ladies with smart mouths.
40:36You best keep yours shut.
40:41Now, see if there's any beer in there, will you?
40:53You're never going to pull this off, you know.
40:55You better hope we pull it off
40:56for your sake and the kid's sake.
41:05Sergeant Cates, how long ago did you get that call?
41:08About a half hour ago.
41:09And they said they'd call again in an hour?
41:11Yeah, from a public phone booth.
41:13To discourage attack.
41:15I guess.
41:16You know, something occurs to me.
41:18What's that about?
41:19Well, these three men,
41:20they would have had a very difficult time
41:22trying to make a move on Kelly
41:24and the boy when they were driving the car.
41:26I mean, she's just too good.
41:28Yes, they'd have waited until she stopped.
41:30Yeah, I think so.
41:31Where was she going when she left the courthouse?
41:34I think she was going home.
41:35Well, we can easily check that out.
41:38Do you want me to answer it?
41:52No.
41:53We don't know that she went directly over the courthouse.
41:56She could have got caught in a traffic jam.
41:59For that matter, you know, this whole thing could be a bluff.
42:02They may not have her and the boy at all.
42:04Who turned the machine off?
42:06What?
42:07The answering machine.
42:08Who turned it off?
42:09I rarely ever turn it on.
42:11It was on when I finished the call to Kate's.
42:13I know because I want you out in case anyone calls here.
42:17I don't think so.
42:19The machine's a bother.
42:20I hardly ever use it.
42:21I'm telling you, it was on.
42:24Oh.
42:25Okay, the machine was on.
42:27Have it your way.
42:36That's odd.
42:39In what way, Bosley?
42:41Kelly's phone rang several times but no answer.
42:44Well, that doesn't make any sense.
42:46Why not?
42:47Well, we have a procedure that we all follow.
42:49We turn our answering machines on as soon as we leave the house
42:52and then we turn it off as soon as we get home.
42:54That way we're always in touch.
42:56Well, maybe she forgot to turn on her tape machine this morning.
42:59If she did, it'd be the first time in years.
43:02You'd better get over there and fast.
43:04We're on our way, Charlie.
43:24Let's get out of here.
43:26What?
43:27Get the kid and let's get out of here.
43:29Why?
43:30Because I don't think it's safe to stay.
43:32Get up.
43:33Why the sudden rush?
43:34I said get up.
43:35Hey, wait a minute, man.
43:36What's the problem?
43:38I think she conned us.
43:39I think she lied about the phone machine.
43:41The phone rang, nobody answered.
43:43That makes nobody home.
43:45Like we decided, it's so obvious this is the last place they'd take the look for her.
43:49I'm with you.
43:50Look, lady, one more word from you and you become a casualty.
43:53My lips are sealed.
43:55I'll get the boy.
43:59I think you're overreacting.
44:00Maybe.
44:01But if she lied about the phone, she had a reason.
44:03And we're not going to hang around long enough to find out what it is.
44:31Get him!
45:02Back off!
45:16Stop it!
45:17Stop it right there!
45:27Kelly!
45:32Leave it!
45:33I'm only going to say it once.
45:47Dad!
45:49You're hurt.
45:50He shot you.
45:52It's okay.
45:53It's really okay.
45:54It's not too bad, really.
45:55It's okay.
45:56I'll get some help.
46:01I'll get some help.
46:02An ambulance will be here in a couple of minutes.
46:33I love you, Daddy.
46:35I didn't want to leave you.
46:37I know.
46:38I know.
46:45Can we go home now?
46:53Can we?
46:58No.
47:00No, I don't want you to come home now.
47:03But why?
47:05You said you loved me.
47:08You even got shot for me.
47:11And I'd do a lot more for you.
47:14I'm a real tough, angry fella.
47:17That's just the point, you see.
47:18Too much angry, that's not good.
47:21Sometimes it gets away from you.
47:23And you hurt the people you love most.
47:27Maybe I've been on the street too long.
47:30Maybe I've heard too much or seen too much
47:33or felt too much, I don't know.
47:35I guess I gotta find somebody to help me figure it out.
47:40But until I do, and I promise you I will,
47:45I want you to stay with Miss Garrett.
47:53You hear me?
47:55When I do come, I'll take care of you.
48:00And I'll let you.
48:06Thank you.
48:25You're welcome.
