Thank you. I wish there was

some way I could repay you.

How about dinner? I know a place

that serves great Viking food.

It's tempting, but I'm afraid

I must rest this evening,

tomorrow being Arbor Day.

Of course. Perhaps some other time.

- How about a rain check?

- Let's just stick to dinner.

Thank you for your help,

Miss Spencer.

My pleasure.

- Well?

- Mr Ludwig, you startled me!

I'm sorry, my dear.

Did you give the lieutenant

what he wanted?

I gave him copies of the files

for Pier 32.

Good. That's good.

He is an intriguing fellow,

don't you think?

Well, I don't know.

I've only just met him.

He seems very nice.

Jane, I realise

this is an unusual request,

but if there is something illegal

going on in this company,

I need to know about it,

so we can root it out.

That's why I want you to...

well, to get to know Drebin

a little better,

find out what he knows.

Wouldn't this be best handled

by the police?

We are letting the police handle it,

my dear!

But we need to know

the facts quickly

before anything

gets into the newspapers.

Don't forget, I have a responsibility

to the stockholders.

Well... if you put it that way...

- Yes, I'll do my best.

- That's better.

I'm sure you will.

It was about 4pm

when I returned to Police Squad.

I wanted to see what the lab had

come up with on Nordberg's jacket,

the one they'd found on the docks.

You can tell a lot from fibre

samples if they aren't too wet.

I was hoping we wouldn't

come up dry.

Hey, look out!

Police! Halt!

Anybody catch the licence plate?

Anybody get a look at the driver?

Take the names of everybody here

for questioning.

I've got to get... inside.

Hi, Ed, Ted. You got

those fibre samples yet?

- We got some action here.

- What?

We're testing our anti-graffiti wall.

We've got customers.

It reacts when

the spray hits the sensors.

You've done it again - mazel tov!

Good work.

What will you think of next?

Now that you mention it,

here's something

we developed only yesterday.

To the casual observer -

an ordinary shoe.

But in actuality...

it makes a handy weapon.

And everything a cop would need.

We call it the Swiss Army Shoe.

- Great. And the fibre samples?

- Just one more thing.

See these cufflinks I'm wearing?

They're not just cufflinks. Each one

fires a single pin-sized dart,

that knocks out your victim

for a few minutes.

Let me demonstrate on Ed.

Ted! Why?

Don't worry.

He'll be up and around in no time.

- Why don't you take a pair?

- Actually, I could use another pair.

I think you'll like them.

- Want this, chief?

- Thank you, Al.

There's something

on the side of your mouth, Al.

No, no. The other side.
