One more word and you're

chopped off at the ankles.

Al, let's split the difference.

Give him the night off.

Get the hell out of here,

both of you.

Testing 1, 2, 3--

-What are you yelling for?

-All you have to do is whisper.

"Mary had a little lamb,

its fleece as white as snow."

Okay, that's better.

It's good for 2 or 3 blocks.

But in a tunnel...

...forget it.

All right, Sid. What do I owe you?

Bring it back in one piece.

$200,000.

Count it and sign for it.

Did you count it out?

Did you count it, chief?

It's not my responsibility.

Always knew I'd get rich

on the police force.

Just make sure

nobody takes it away from you.

God knows how he'll contact you.

He'll probably run you all over town.

Go where you're told.

Do what you're told.

Play it straight down the line. Okay?

Nothing cute. Nothing fancy.

Just pay the ransom money

and report back here.

Would you mind if I borrowed

a little Scotch tape?

It's disgusting that a police officer

should know how to use that weapon.

-You got a yellow suitcase?

-Yeah, I got it right with me.

-What's your name?

-Callahan.

-What are you?

-Police officer.

Hello?

All right, police officer...

...this is how we play.

I bounce you all over town

to make sure you're alone.

If I even think you're being followed,

the girl dies.

If you talk to anyone, even if it's

a Pekinese pissing on a lamppost...

...the girl dies.

-ls the girl okay?

-Just shut up and listen.

No car.

I give you some time

to go from phone booth to phone booth.

I ring 4 times.

You don't answer by the fourth ring...

...that's the end of the game.

The girl dies.

What time you got?

-9:
30. Now listen--

-You listen.

I'm watching you.

Not all the time,

but you'll never know when or where.

Now get to Forest Hills Station

as fast as you can. Understand?

-Yeah.

-I hope you're not stupid.

Downstairs.

Take the "K" car.

Get off at Church and 20th.

Hurry up, or you'll blow it.

You sound like you had a good rest.

You'll need it. I'm going to give you

a nice little run this time.

You better make it,

because if you don't, dead girl!

Public phone,

hamburger stand, Aquatic Park.

Hubba-hubba-hubba, pig bastard.

What's in the bag, man?

-You dudes get lost now, you hear?

-Screw the bag!

Just give us the wallet.

You don't listen, a**hole!

Don't answer that!

-Who picked it up?

-Some old guy. Never saw him before.

Chico, he hung up.

-You know Mt. Davidson Park?

-Yeah.

Go to the cross.

I'm at the entrance

on Lansdale Street.

I'm going up.

I see a couple of people.

Just a couple of kids necking.

Boys or girls?

I'm Callahan.

My friends call me Alice.

And I will take a dare.

When was the last time

you were busted?

If you're a vice, I'll kill myself.

Well, do it at home.

Freeze!

Just like a statue.

That's right.

One wrong move,

anything, I don't care.

I'll kill you and the girl both.

Understand?

Yeah.

Drop the bag.

Left hand.

Let's see the gun.

My!

That's a big one.

Left hand. Throw it.

Easy.

Raise your hands.

Come on, get them up.

Now turn.

Face the cross.

Come on.

Put your nose right up

against the cement.

You lift that hand once more and

I won't let you know where the girl is!

Do we understand each other?

Do we understand each other?

Don't pass out on me yet!

No, no.

No, no. Not yet. Not yet!

Don't pass out on me yet,

you rotten oinker!

Do we understand each other?

If you care what happens to the girl,

you'd better answer me! All right?

Listen to me carefully.

I've changed my mind.

I'm going to let her die.

I just wanted you to know that.

You understand? I just wanted to make

sure you knew that before I killed you.

Goodbye, Callahan!

Chico, don't kill him!

The hospital report on Gonzales

looks okay, Chief.

Yeah. Well, he's a pretty tough kid.

He's right here.

He's got two cracked ribs.

They want to do some more tests

on him in the morning.

The son of a b*tch really

kicked him a couple of beauts.

I'm sending him home.

Right, Chief.

He says beat it! That's an order.

The chief wants to know

if I misunderstood his orders.

Meaning, am I just plain stupid

or did I deliberately disobey him?

He wants to know

what Gonzales was doing there.

He wants to know

why we screwed everything up.

What am I going to tell him?

Why don't you start

by telling him the truth?

Tell him Gonzales was obeying orders

from a superior. Me.

Tell him you didn't know

anything about it.

When this is over, if he wants

my badge, he can have that too.

You wouldn't have a belt of booze

around here, would you?

Lieutenant Bressler's office.

-Put him on.

-What is it?

It's Park Emergency. They just treated

a guy who had a knife wound in the leg.

Yeah, doctor?

What'd this guy look like?

Long blond hair...

...medium build, about 150 pounds.

Pale complexion.

-He didn't give you his name, doc?

-Nope.

They usually give a phony name.

But I've seen him someplace.

It's important you remember. There's

a 14-year-old girl who's suffocating.

I'm trying to think!

It was....

I believe he works around here.

Doctor, could you give

him something? He's in pain!

Yes, just a moment.

She'll be dead in an hour!

I'm trying to remember!

I've got who he is.

When they had football,

he used to sell programs at the stadium.

I think the groundskeeper

lets him live there.

-Live where?

-There.

Kezar Stadium.

Illegal entry. No warrant.

Looks like we climb.

Too much linguine.

I'll find another way.

Stop!

Don't do anything more!

You tried to kill me!

You need any help?

-Go on and get some air, fatso.

-Please! No more!

Can't you see I'm hurt?

You shot me! Please, don't!

Let me have a doctor!

Please, get me the doctor!

Don't kill me!

The girl, where is she?

You tried to kill me!

If I did, your head would be splattered

all over this field. Where's the girl?

I want a lawyer.

I said, where's the girl?

I have the right for one.

Where's the girl?

I have the right for a lawyer!

Don't! Please!

I have rights. I want a lawyer!

Harry Callahan.

He said it was urgent.

Yes, the district attorney has

been wanting to talk to you.

-It's lnspector Callahan.

-Have him come in, please.

Won't you come this way?

-May I bring you in a cup of coffee?

-No, thanks.

I'll be done in a minute.

Have a seat.

I've just been looking over

your arrest report.

A very unusual piece of police work.

Really amazing.

I had some luck.

You're lucky I'm not indicting you for

assault with intent to commit murder!

Where does it say you've got a right

to kick down doors, torture suspects?

Deny medical attention and legal

counsel? Where have you been?

Does Escobedo ring a bell?

Miranda?

You must have heard

of the 4th Amendment!

What I'm saying is,

that man had rights.

I'm all broken up

about that man's rights.

You should be.

I've got news for you.

When he's well enough

to leave the hospital, he walks.

What are you talking about?

He's free!

You're letting him go?
