Cover the back.

Car A at 166th and Western,

bearing 138 degrees.

Car B Alameda and Artesia,

bearing 256 degrees.

Same as before. 198th and Figueroa.

They must have stopped.

- Check. 198th and Figueroa.

- That's it.

Send out a call.

All cars proceed to 198th and Figueroa.

Drop the gun.

Now turn around.

- Cody, that guy's a copper.

- What?

He's a T-man. I know him.

His name is Fallon.

He pinched me four years ago.

Don't go for your guns.

A copper.

A copper. How do you like that, boys?

A copper and his name is Fallon.

And we went for it. I went for it.

Treated him like a kid brother.

And I was going to split 50-50

with a copper.

Maybe they're waiting

to pin a medal on him.

Solid gold.

Come on. Get up. Get your hands up.

Yeah, that's it.

A nice gold medal for the copper.

Only maybe he's gonna get it

sooner than he thinks.

Cody, the joint's crawling with cops.

- Let him have it.

- Oh, no. And lose our ace in the hole?

He's going to walk us out of here.

Ain't you, copper? Get up.

It won't work. They'll shoot just the same.

- They won't shoot one of their own.

- They won't make any deals.

You better pray that they do.

Jarrett, you and your men

might as well give up.

Come out with your hands up.

We've got your boy Fallon in here,

and he'll be all right if you do as I say.

She says she can get Jarrett to come out.

If I can, mister, will you go easy on me?

I'll tell him you'll let him get away

because you don't want your guy hurt.

He'll believe me. Then, when he comes

out, you can do what you want with him.

No deal. Lock her up.

Cheap copper!

Jarrett, you haven't got a chance.

Come out with your hands up.

"Come out with your hands up,"

the man says.

How do you like that, Ma?

Here's my answer, you dirty...

Fan out! Give them

tear gas from both sides.

That was Cody Jarrett talking!

Out this way, Cody. Through that door.

Here's yours, copper.

Wait a minute. It's Fallon.

- You all right, Hank?

- Yeah, sure. Quick...

get a car out to Charlie's Roadhouse,

Highway 60, near Colton.

Pick up Daniel Winston.

He's the fence you're looking for.

- What's out here, Bo?

- An alley.

Het, Happy, try it.

Come on. Get going.

We've got Bo Creel. They're heading up.

Got them on the ground

heading for the Horton Sphere area.

Send men out to that section.

Pass the word along. Don't fire

unless you've got a perfect target.

That place is a stack of dynamite.

Have that area surrounded.

Get some searchlights.

They think they've got Cody Jarrett.

They haven't got Cody Jarrett, you hear?

They haven't got him.

And I'm gonna show you

they haven't got him.

Come on. Come with me.

Don't shoot.

It's me, Ryley. I'm coming out.

You might as well come down, Jarrett.

There's no one left but you.

Come and get me.

Get the gun, Hank.

What's holding him up?

Made it, Ma!

Top of the world!

Cody Jarrett.

He finally got to the top of the world.

And it blew right up in his face.
