then i say we may have real trouble here oh no why is he here why do i have to come out of my office on a day like this and look at her face like that put that man in the drunk tank morning lieutenant webster you look like you had nowhere to go and nothing to do i'm in homicide if anything comes through surprise everybody get the muster on time the all burned up about bad choice of words another fireman was killed this morning means that someone out there is declared warren fire department i guess he got reason to be less than happy and i apologize for what i was thinking about oh webster uh gillis wrote i gave the letter to danko he's in the locker room thank you hey man how's he doing okay uh dick willie reported the first date to the police department in his hometown meets the watch commander he's introduced to his new lieutenant the first thing lieutenant says to him is now day the hair's too long i smiled my winningest smile and was about to hit him with my what does long hair have to do with being a good cop [ __ ] but he never gave me the chance he just told me if i wasn't regulation length before tomorrow i could apply for a job at the post office but being home is worth it i'm glad i decided on the move my father's all right now and we have that kind of great relationship i always thought we'd have and then there's jennifer ah yes and then there's jennifer sorry today's name hi i'm chris christopher owens terry webster uh reporting in from the academy mike danko how are you hey go on man i uh i want to get all of it before mustard and then there's jennifer

woman in it somewhere uh hey man uh there's an empty locker back there 28. let's try ready i know um that could be i'm hung up on it uh how's it going with you guys i think about all of you a lot about the times you had pretty good times for the most part yeah that's right well i guess the most important thing is that i'm happy back here being back home 28's jams go on man anyway i miss you guys hey i even missed ryker you can tell him for me that he's nothing but a pussycat next to the man who calls mustard in grand villa yeah i'm not gonna love that hey man my tie sorry uh webster and danko 30 seconds you're going to be late for muster webster i want to talk to you after muster yes sir webster after muster means after muster not ten minutes after writing sorry lieutenant i want you to meet your new partner uh lieutenant we usually sign you partners uh from the duty list why the formality when a rookie comes out of the academy he is assigned his new partner in this manner it's tradition officer christopher paul owens i want you to meet officer terrence beauregard webster um nothing personal loans uh attendance i just came off of three weeks of very hard night duty and you know how it is breaking into new rookie uh paperwork and the indoctrination why don't you give me a break and no one's wouldn't mind would you no anyway there are older more experienced officers around here it'd be better all the way around sir goldstein is the one to break a rookie in i heard of him sir up at the academy you couldn't ask for better man knowledgeable patient one of the best cops in the precinct that's the kind of man i'd like to partner with the kind of new rook he deserves what do you say lieutenant i say that something about this conversation reminds me of you and another rookie webster officer gillis you remember him don't you now peter the two of you i got a man out there who likes to kill fireman and i wasted too much time on this already i'm a senior rookie your senior partner so uh hold on to that thought okay okay let's go our call number is level nine hold on hold on hold on owen now uh eight months in the field has taught me two things how to get along with lieutenant riker and how to survive which might very well be the same thing but that's just surviving you don't drive the car until i've had time to check you out behind me i put in my time behind the wheel of the academy yeah that might qualify you to drive the chief of police's car but not the car that i drive in you're the senior partner yes that's right i wonder where a guy like that firefreak holds up when he's not killing anyone [Music] so [Music] [Music] hey [Music] [Music] do you remember him oh yeah he's the guy that lost his wife and kids in poor guy yeah that's it you know he used to come in here every saturday morning with his oldest boy he must be going through hell now you know lost everything [Applause] [Music] nothing [Music] mister you playing this thing [Music] there's some left okay if i shoot them off for you [Music] please help me [Music] [Applause] [Music] are you right you and i should give you a doctor or something mr limbo [Music] don't worry about it

little things i know but let me finish let me finish i am finished i'm hungry and i'm tired of all the reports and all them things that you keep calling little matter of fact i'm tired of you christopher paul owens i guess i'm just excited with the job and everything maybe i'm trying to get too much in in one day i'm sorry it's okay one more thing thanks for today you taught me a lot it's okay you're gonna quit we can finish up tomorrow i mean there's no no no no no no no no no no no no tomorrow's my day off it's your day off as well we don't work days off you can work your day off i

astonish you with my speed accuracy and dazzling [Music] oh no man tell me it's not true that's your new partner huh what you're doing here i live here since when man since as soon as i get my stuff into the apartment i rented yesterday regress is my wife jill you mean right here in this building where i live where we live it comes under the fair housing act doesn't it glad to meet you hi chris mike told me about you it's a conspiracy it's got to be who sent you here lieutenant reichert the owner registered an empty apartment at the precinct i didn't know you lived here you do now ah too late i'm not going back to the y i've been there since the academy well i'll move my pickup so you can get to where you're going [Music] look he's new and he's probably lonely well what are you saying i got no choice i mean i've heard of singles but me against me it's okay you think they would have finished paying them before the kid moved in hey isn't it a great apartment oh yeah it's real nice yeah it looks really livable it's a doubt ah with you man i keep looking hey look it's gonna be just swell when we get it fixed up a little bit oh next to the room at the y it's a palace [Music] [Applause] [Applause] yes holder captain whitfield on 1715 lieutenant strike it captain holder i want you to set up an emergency schedule while every available man works extra duty cancel all days off special days off on all vacations this nut started a fire in some garage he's killed another fireman that picks number three we're gonna ride shotgun with the fire department i want two units on every single alarm that comes through if he sees police at the scene maybe he'll think twice before he kills another fireman lieutenant uh we could get some help from some of the outlying precincts no good older nobody knows where he's going to strike next the other precincts have the same predicament we do there's going to be no outside help no disrespect for medserva do you think riding shotgun to these alarms will stop him i hope so but i'll tell you one thing 43 of the firemen in this city did not show up for work today if we ride shotgun maybe we can hang on to the other 57. well you really can't blame him for being scared i'm not blaming anyone i'm worried about what happens in this city if there's a major fire and i don't care who started it the fire bugger what the hell i was way up there one morning near the top of one of those hundred foot trees trimming away some branches my father called up to me and told me the letter came i went down like a squirrel it's from the academy they accepted me how old were you when you first started logging and climbing those trees chris about 14 i guess during summer vacations it's easier for me than most kids to get a job why was that did you look older than you were no nothing like that my uh father ran the lumber mill uh-huh had to be hello yeah ah i got it no no i'll tell them they're both here with me yeah right away now sergeant older it seems our day off is a thing of the past how come freak just killed another fireman we're on full alert they want us to run escort on all fire calls let's get a move on rikers i'll call you bye-bye mike i'm on duty tonight maybe we could have dinner together later on [Applause] [Music] [Applause] intercept and escort fire unit number 19 rolling to 1939 east 12th street repeat ludlow niner ludlow seven code three this is ludlow [Music] [Applause] there's no way of knowing it we gotta put it out before we be sure what [Music] [Music] started [Music] [Applause] [Applause] he almost killed me i thought that guy was after me well the point is he wasn't have you got a permit to carry a concealed weapon yeah i get it from it three dead firemen that's my permit it's only for me i need to protect myself i'll tell you something else i'm not the only one they've got a right to protect themselves i'd say more than half of them are armed you know what just happened here it could have killed an innocent man or he could have been the killer why not you don't even know what he looks like could have been him it could have been any one of them out there [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] we started without you with a schedule riker's got something we get 20 minutes okay oh could i have hamburger medium fleas and cup coffee [Music] hey you know what a deer does when he runs scared he shows the white underside of his tail the other deer see it now there's trouble well if we uh see any white-tailed ear wheel no we're getting close the point is the deer understand deer it's his first 12-hour shift uh you got to take that into consideration look humor me for a minute okay there's a kind of a game they taught us at the academy it's called role-playing i don't know if they had it in your time i'm gonna hit him i swear i'm gonna hit him all right forget it it's probably a bad idea to begin with you know what's worse than ever having a good idea having one not knowing it it's not a game you learn how to play it in the field it's called analytic deduction yeah and it's called analytic deduction because the lieutenant hates it when these two start to assume it's easy works like this i kill a fireman why do i kill a fireman uh maybe it's got something to do with the uniforms [Music] then why not mailmen or soldiers or even cops why does it have to be a fireman [Music] okay he's got a gripe with the fire department maybe he wanted to be a fireman and uh they flunked them out maybe he lost somebody that he loved in a fire and he blames the fire department for it you know cowardice or not caring enough to save a life or something that's good revenge the indiscriminate killing of firemen that'll work how i go through all the trouble of starting a fire i mean why not just follow one of them home and get them in the dark why risk a crowd maybe feel safer in a crowd or because he has more firemen to choose from when a unit or two rolls up to put out a fire no well why does he have to choose because he's after a certain type is there anything the same about any of the three dead firemen i don't know but i think we ought to check it out with rocker first thing in the morning that's good it's good [Music] two i would call coincidence three you're firemen all dead all dark hair and mustaches i wouldn't are you saying you think maybe we got something lieutenant maybe just maybe three of you skip muster check out your revenge theory anything else she can get out of that computer that's by fire surviving family members it's a long shot but it's a shot what's your name again owens allen's don't get too upset if this doesn't work out i guarantee you'll have other hunches [Music] [Applause] ah thank you maggie got it [Applause] three fires in the last six months that took any lives five lives in all why only six months if it's the revenge thing it's likely it would have been only a short time ago passion tends to die with time i like that passion tends to die with time i'll do a double check on this maggie would you pass me through to central communications give me all information on these days we've got it all in this room the files cross files even in the fire department [Music] three out of the five lives were lost in the same fire gas heater exploded house burned down before the fire department ever got to it it's way out in the sticks somewhere there's no way we can tie a revenge motive into any of that the gas company maybe but not the fire department says here the reason there was only one death in the second fire was due to the bravery of the firemen it would have been a lot worse if it weren't for them the fifth death was self-immolation no good none of it maybe maybe we just ask bad questions i mean we asked the computer to identify any deaths due to fire it didn't have to do with a fire it could have been something that involved a fireman in a more personal way like an accident or a fight three weeks ago a 32 year old woman by the name of francine when bowen and two sons one three and one eight years old were involved in an accident with a fire truck she had her windows closed radio going full blast i don't know maybe the youngest kid was screaming anyway she didn't hear the siren they never knew what hit him upon impact her gas tank exploded the three of them burned to death that's an ugly story and an ugly way to die and i hope someday people learn to drive with one window open 20. we can hear things coming what's this got to do with our killer the driver of that truck was also killed here's a picture of him dark hair mustache looks a lot like the other three if the mall is revenge the driver's dead then maybe our man is gonna go after somebody who looks like the driver you said it was less than a coincidence with three lieutenant what do you call it with four well it's a long way from proving anything now listen to me danko you're building up to something and you're holding the kicker back will you tell me what it is please that's the husband jack dunbar he's a chemical engineer oh well it's far from an ironclad case but it's worth looking into that's going down webster and uh owens he used to keep regular hours but that was uh before his wife and kids were killed you know about the accident promised to lambo is not in his apartment at least he doesn't answer look we uh haven't got a warrant and we can't require you to let us into lambo apartment but uh if you would invite us in it would i can't do that look i'm just the manager maybe you could call the owner call us in ask rocky to get us water [Applause] uh maybe you can tell me where limbo works [Music] lambo twice drop it oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] chris look out okay yeah [Music] janet i just heard about chris did you see him talk to him is he okay oh yes i saw him and he's intact physically that is i guess we can be thankful for small favors i'm thankful danko no small favors are coming my way for instance why does this precinct have such an overabundance of greenhorn rookies why can't we have some of the older more seasoned veterans i don't know i guess they're assigned to precincts that need the personnel danko i need policemen not kids that shoot at the sky a god that they stopped telling him at the academy god's on our side maybe you forget who you're talking to lieutenant i'm still a rookie myself well i'll refrain from comment on that thank him you know what i have to do now i have to go inside and call the fire department and tell chief bird we've let the fire bug slip through our fingers uh look i'm sure chris tried i'm sure he did what he could oh good i'll tell him that i'm sure that'll make all the difference in the world get me cheap for it i get out of here [Music] it's done nothing anybody can do about it now i'm here it was you or mike lembo would be behind bars right now instead he's out there somewhere maybe killing another fireman what happens if another fireman is killed how am i going to deal with something like that it's almost if i had killed it if you made one mistake don't make another one learn from it go on and try and wipe it out of your head how do you do that how do you get that thick you can just wipe it out of your head with practice man ludlow niner investigate report of an authorized person seen climbing natural gas storage tank at garden refinery 126 north lorimar code 3 that's not his ammo you think it might be lumber why not he's got to figure we know who he is by now maybe he figures this will be his last number go out like a bomb control this is ludlow niner ten four [Applause] [Music] there he is up there he's been up there like that for 10 minutes i tried talking him down but all he said was call the fire department he's some kind of a nut if you ask me that take is filled with propane i don't want to mess with that so i called you guys okay we'll handle it from here i don't want the police i want firemen i want a lot of farm and you get them for me i'm gonna blow this thing you tell them that you tell them if every fire engine in the city is in here they'll never be able to stop it the whole city will go up in flames 20 minutes it goes in 20 minutes i can pick them off from you with a rifle sure you can if the bullet rips through that hull we got hell on earth what if i sneak around back i can get up there before he knows what's happening forget it terry if it wasn't for me get off that this ain't the time for it i'll call riker tell him what's going down here tell him the world ends in 20 minutes i'm dead i know that i don't care i just wanna take as many of them with me as i can move it hey limbo uh let's talk about it uh maybe we can help each other patrol this is ludlow nine patch me through the lieutenant riker urgent tell webster we're on our way in owens i want you to talk to that man don't let him get so hot under the collar that he's gonna blow that thing up over and out danko i need you alder i want every available unit at the garden refinery call a fire department tell chief bird we have the man cornered on top of a propane tank and we're gonna need fire units out there fast [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] he hasn't done anything yet with that he's waiting for his audience according to his timetable there's only four or five minutes left well we don't have time to send a chopper up if we did he'd see it coming miles away we can't fire a gun at him best thing would be get a guy up there right me lieutenant it should be me why are you owens because i'm the only man out here who can climb a 100-foot tree in less than a minute and a half i can sneak around back i can get up there lieutenant before he sees me coming i wanted to climb before the town but i wouldn't let him not because he's wrong but i thought we had a little more time and hoped for another thing to do but we seem to be out of time and i don't see anything else to do if you do get up there without that thing blowing it's going to take an experienced cop to bring that man under control physically that's why i'm going up with him with that no good you'll slow me down we stand here and argue about it uh he's gonna slow us down permanently all right come on get a move on the tour alembo this is lieutenant riker scpd come on down from there oh what you're gonna kill me go ahead you murdered them my wife my children you murdered my life [Music] listen to me this will not get them back get a rifle if owens and webster don't get up there in time we're just gonna have to take a chance lambo this thing you're doing it could kill other women and other children kill me with one shot huh are you sure it only takes a couple of seconds for this torch against this tank and we're all dead men you me them [Music] this is very stupid what you're doing [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] oh [Music] so that was the first time i ever [Music]
