Where are you headed, little lady?
Nowhere with you, numb-nuts. Buzz off!
See you Thursday, you gorgeous thing.
You picked a beautiful day to hitchhike.
Well, I've got a nice little VW back
at Stenson's Beach with a cracked block.
You guys wouldn't be going up
to Mill Valley, would you?
Andy, aren't we going up to Mill Valley?
I got a couple of bottles of ice-cold beer
up there, if you're interested.
You son of a b*tch.
Okay, pile in.
How long you been in the Western Gas
and Electric Company business?
I can't remember how long I've been in it.
How long have I been in it?
Turn in, right here.
Climb up this road here.
Yeah, I'll be right with you.
Better hang a left here, Harry.
There's a jam up on Bay.
What's with the citizen?
Police officer, what's the problem?
Thank God. He's inside.
Come on, it's a heart attack.
Wait here.
Make some room, please.
Please, move aside.
Please, move aside. This is an emergency.
Excuse us. Would you please move over.
Would you please give us room.
He's a police officer.
- Police? Where's the ambulance?
- This poor man's had a heart attack.
I think he's still breathing, though.
Come on, get up.
- Get up. Come on.
- What are you doing?
I say.
- Party's over.
- Thanks a lot, Harry.
What are you squawking about?
You got the free meal, didn't you?
Yeah, but I always enjoy the ride
in the ambulance.
Get out of here.
All units, be advised that this is a 406.
Harry, it's an "all units."
Marvelous.
My old lady's gonna kill me.
She's doing a nine-church novena tonight
and I told her I'd be home early for supper.
Suspects are armed.
Code 33. Code 33.
Inspector 71 responding to your 406.
What's going on?
A couple of bastards
held up that liquor store.
One of our guys stumbled in on it
and they shot him up.
They grabbed four hostages.
They said they'll start shooting them
one by one unless we give them a car.
Then what are you waiting on?
Lieutenant Brannigan of Robbery.
He said to stall them until he gets here.
- God, don't let him kill me.
- We want the goddamn car, right now.
All right. But you don't get anything
till I come in and talk.
All right, you bastard,
lay your piece on the hood of that car.
What about me? I'm your partner.
I may have to move fast and I don't need
too much linguini to hold me back.
You got a lot of class, Harry.
You get cute,
I blow this nice lady all over you. Let's go.
On the floor, motherf***er.
For God's sakes, mister, do like he says!
This is my best sports jacket.
I said, get your ass on the floor,
you dirty son of a b*tch!
Spread eagle. Move it!
Get down there.
San Francisco's finest.
Mitch.
Roll him over.
He's clean.
Here's the story.
First, we want all the pigs out of here.
Second, we want a car...
...with a police radio.
Deliver it right out there in front.
We're taking two hostages:
Both the women.
If you don't do exactly what I tell you,
we blow their f***ing heads off!
- You got the picture?
- Yeah.
What are you waiting for?
Run, you jive-ass bastard.
- What do they want?
- They want a car.
What are you going to do?
Give them one.
You son of a b*tch!
Tell me, what makes a man
crazy enough to join the cops?
If you find out, you let me know, huh?
$14,379.
- How can that be?
- You want an itemized account?
You took out two front doors,
one front window, 12 feet of counter.
Plus damages to the stock.
Plus one city vehicle totaled.
As well as three hostages in the hospital,
all of whom will probably sue the city.
- For what?
- Excessive use of force.
For your information, Callahan...
...the minority community has just about
had it with this kind of police work.
By the "minority community,"
you're talking about the hoods?
It so happens that they are
American citizens, too.
What about the lady with the shotgun
in her ear?
I'm not going to debate this with you.
I've been on the phone
to the Mayor twice this morning.
He went right through the ceiling over this.
Did you tell him about the meeting?
- What meeting?
- The meeting right here, two months ago...
...when you said high priority was:
"Run these hoods out of here."
I never said to use violence.
What should I do,
yell "trick-or-treat" at them?
Come on, Harry.
I expect you,
and every other man on this force...
...to behave with restraint
or turn in his resignation.
You're on notice, Callahan.
This little show of yours yesterday
is exactly the kind of thing...
...this department
is no longer prepared to tolerate!
Is that clear?
Yes, sir.
- If that's all, Captain, I've got work to do.
- But not in Homicide.
What?
You've been transferred to Personnel.
To Personnel?
That's for a**holes.
I was in Personnel for 10 years.
Yeah.
That's it.
You report tomorrow to the Oral
Examining Board. 9:00, on the dot.
No, you haven't got the picture.
I'm the robber, you're the cop.
Now, I'm in a market, see?
And you've just caught me, dead bang.
A 211 in the act.
But I'm coming out, and I've got a hostage.
A kid with a gun at his head.
There's no way you're gonna take me alive.
You've 10 seconds to make up your mind,
"Here I come."
What are you gonna do?
One...
...two, three...
- You're under arrest.
...four, five...
- Do something!
...six, seven...
- How tall is he?
Don't just stand there, goddamn it,
do something!
Bang, you're dead.
- You're late, Callahan.
- Hello, Krause.
- Hi.
All right, Bustanoby,
you'll be notified of your grade.
You were told to be here at 9:00.
We have 50 officers out there to test.
- For how many vacancies?
- Eight.
There will be five men and three women
promoted to inspector out of this group.
- Three women?
- Do you object, Inspector?
Now, who might you be?
This is Mrs. Grey of the Mayor's staff.
She's here to monitor these examinations.
This is Inspector Callahan.
Yes, I know something
of Inspector Callahan.
And I'd like to tell you...
...it's the Mayor's plan that the department
be brought more into line with...
...the mainstream of 20th century thought.
How does he figure to do that?
For one thing...
...his Honor intends...
...to broaden the areas of participation
for women in the police force.
Well, that sounds very stylish.
I think he also said something about:
"Winnowing the Neanderthals
out of the department."
Well, I guess we better get on with it.
Next applicant.
- Officer Moore?
- Yes, sir.
As you know, this is the final stage
in your examination.
It's an informal test to try and get an idea
of your ability to think on your feet.
Your reaction to stress and pressure.
in a hypothetical situation and so on, okay?
Yes, sir.
How long have you been on the force?
- Nine years.
- What department?
Mainly Personnel and Records.
- Personnel and Records?
- Yes, sir.
Have you any questions for the applicant?
Questions? How fast do you run the 100?
Come on, Callahan,
you know how this board functions.
