conclusively established...

by further laboratory examinations. "

- Looks like the kid was framed.

- Seems to be very little doubt about it.

Now if we can get him to talk

about that chauffeur's license.

Wish I could be in your session

with Danker, but I've got to run along.

Thanks, Charlie.

Okay, I'll attend to that.

- Have Robert Danker sent in.

- Yes, sir.

- Looks like he's been released, sir.

- Released?

Before I came on duty.

Oh, here it is. Bail furnished

by the Personal Bonding Company.

Just across the street.

- Hello.

- Good morning.

- Hello, Dave.

- Good morning, Lieutenant. What can I do for you?

- This is Inspector Briggs of the F.B.I.

- Yes, sir. Sit down.

- You arranged bail for one Robert Danker?

- That's right.

- Do you mind telling us who put up the money?

- No, not at all.

Let's see.

Danker. Here we are.

Robert Danker,

suspicion of robbery.

Bond $5,000.

Cash by John Smith.

Yeah. Mr. Smith again.

Do you know this Mr. Smith?

Never met him before in my life.

Wouldn't know him if I saw him again.

- Any address?

- I think you'll find it's a phony, like the name.

They all do it.

Hotel Conlin.

- Never heard of it.

- Mm-hmm.

- Thanks anyway.

- Anytime.

Danker was framed.

We investigate and prove his alibi...

but before anybody knows that except us,

he's bailed out.

That can only mean one thing. Somebody

wants to see him as badly as we do.

That night at 20 minutes past 11:00...

a body with numerous knife wounds...

was found on the main highway

leading to Center City.

It was identified

as Robert Danker.

- Hello, Inspector.

- Hello, Hank.

Nice to see you again.

Did you get my man?

Have a good man for you to look over.

Just the qualifications you need.

Defending against the knife attack

is a very dangerous proposition...

and should be avoided if possible.

That's Cordell with the instructor.

Been in the field two years.

He's back for in-service training.

You're closing in

on a hijacker when he suddenly...

I'm sorry, Mr. Haynes.

Not at all.

Cordell, this is a test

of your reactions.

Here are photographs of

four armed killers. Study them carefully.

Look upon them as living people,

armed and dangerous.

- Got it?

- Yes, sir.

- Thank you, Woody. Are there any questions?

- No, sir.

Go to the starting point

and load without further command.

Are you ready, shooter?

- Yes, sir.

- Start walking.

That's good. Always take cover

when you're outnumbered.

Reload and holster.

Start walking.

- Well, why didn't you shoot?

- Because he wants to surrender.

- We wouldn't shoot a man in cold blood.

- Re-holster. Still walking.

- Why did you shoot the man on the left first?
