I wish I had gone
in the drink myself.
You know, if the same
thing didn't happen
To a lot of rookies, I'd
knock your ears down.
Give then one break, and
suddenly they're masterminds,
Running around like
a hot-tailed beavers,
Arresting the whole population.
You're blowing your top again.
Go on home.
We're going into
headquarters, Ed.
Quimby identified your car.
He's crazy.
No, he's colorblind.
That makes fine evidence.
8,000 blue coups in the city,
and you get married to mine.
I've been working my
way up on the force
Since you were in grade school.

Yes, for one thing... a dame.
You said she wasn't
good for you.

Right.
All right, honey.
Upstairs.
Olson said this
isn't your case.
Forget Olson.
What are you going to do?
Ed knows he can't get
out of town for a while.
I've got a hunch I
know where he is.
Do you think we'll make it?
I don't know.
I've seen them button up this
town too many times before.
Button up?
Road blocks.
There are only six
ways out of town.
We'd have a better
chance if it were dark.
Well, why don't
we stop someplace?
Exactly what we're gonna do.
Ed, the bridge is blocked.
MAN (ON PHONE):
Leadofficer at County Line.
Left road block.
I'll take care of the gate.
You drive in.
I'll get this out of sight.
Should I fix the
gate the way it was.
It's all right as it is.
This is Fort Point, isn't it?
and read about it,
But I've never seen it before.
Andy and I used to play
around here when we were kids.
Come on, let's go up one
flight, just in case.
We can stay here all night?
No.
There's a trail
alongside the bridge.
When it's dark, we'll
climb up to the restaurant
By the toll gate.
A lot of trucks stop there.
We'll get in the back
of an off-bound truck,
And that's that.
Police?
Andy.
See that watchtower?
Yeah?
Get up there, and
get out of sight.
Wouldn't that be the
first place he'd look?
It's too obvious.
Go on.
I'm gonna try a bluff.
Ed?
Five minutes.
Sh!
How much longer?
I'm freezing.
About an hour.
Let's get in out of the wind.
[WHISTLING]
MAN:
Don't move.Have we got time?
Help yourself.
Why?
Why?
You said it once.
Under the skin.
LOIS:
I haven't anyoneelse but you, Joe.
If you get me out of
this, let's go away
Somewhere... anywhere you like.
I've got a lot of money, Joe.
Light me a cigarette,
will you, darling?
Of course, dear.
