[Harry, Lt. Donnelly & Capt. Briggs are meeting in the Commissioner's office, after Harry's confrontation with Threlkis the gangster] Captain Briggs: [shouting] In more than 30 years of police work, this is the single, most OUTRAGEOUS transgression of authority I ever heard about. What the HELL did you think you were doing? Harry Callahan: My job. Captain Briggs: Is it your job, to harass & incite an old man into a heart attack? Harry Callahan: My job is to investigate homicide. That old man happens to be one of the biggest crime lords on the west coast. How the hell was I supposed to know he was gonna vapor-lock? Captain Briggs: But you hoped he would? Harry Callahan: The Doker case is mine. It was at a standstill. I was just trying to break it loose. Captain Briggs: Sure, with threats and intimidation! Harry Callahan: Any way possible! Captain Briggs: Are you aware that you have destroyed MONTHS - of intelligence & surveillance work? We're talking thousands of dollar, hundreds of man-hours? Special investigations has been BUSTING ITS ASS preparing a case against Threlkis. Harry Callahan: He would have just snaked his way out of it. Maybe we saved the taxpayers a little money. Captain Briggs: [with contempt] I ought to bust your ass down to traffic. Or better yet, kick it off the force! You're a dinosaur, Callahan. Your ideas don't fit today. Harry Callahan: Just what ideas are these? That murder's a crime? That it shouldn't be punished? Captain Briggs: [sneering] Hey, don't you lecture me, you son-of-a-bitch. You know who you're talking to, huh? You know MY record? Harry Callahan: [disgusted] Yeah. You're a legend in your own mind! Captain Briggs: [angrily] Goddamn you, Callahan! Police Commissioner: Gentlemen, that's enough! Inspector, your methods are unconventional to say the least. Well, you get results. But often your successes are more costly to this department in terms of publicity & physical destruction than most other men's failures! Lt. Donnelly: Commissioner, now I... Police Commissioner: [cuts Donnelly off] Please, Lieutenant! The press will have a field day with this latest escapade. There may be further civil & legal repercussions. As a matter of fact there may even be attempts at retaliation. I think it would be wise if the inspector took some time off. [Briggs nods approvingly]

MAN 2: Shut up. In more than 30 years of police work, this is the single most outrageous... ...transgression of authority I ever heard about. -What did you think you were doing? -My job. Is it your job to harass and incite an old man into a heart attack? HARRY: My job is to investigate homicide. That old man happens to be one of the biggest crime lords on the West Coast. How the hell did I know he was gonna vapor-lock? But you hoped he would. The Doker case is mine. It was at a standstill. I was trying to break it loose. -Sure, with threats and intimidation. -Any way possible. Are you aware... ...that you have destroyed months of surveillance and intelligence work? We're talking here thousands of dollars, hundreds of man-hours. Special Investigations has been busting its ass preparing a case against Threlkis. He would've just snaked his way out of it. Maybe we saved the taxpayers a little money. I ought to bust your ass down to Traffic. Or better yet, kick it off the force. You're a dinosaur, Callahan. Your ideas don't fit today. Just what ideas are these? That murder's a crime, that it shouldn't be punished? Hey. Don't you lecture me, you son of a bitch. You know who you're talking to? Hm? You know my record? Yeah. You're a legend in your own mind. -Goddamn you, Callahan. -Gentlemen, that's enough. Inspector, your methods are unconventional, to say the least. Oh, you get results. But often your successes are more costly to the city and this department... ...in terms of publicity and physical destruction than most other mens' failures. -Commissioner-- -Please. The press'll have a field day with this escapade. There may be further civil and legal repercussions. As a matter offact, there may be attempts at retaliation. I think it would be wise if the inspector took some time off. Are you suspending me, sir? No, I'm suggesting you take a vacation until this cools off. Well, I'm not up for a vacation. Callahan, l'm not gonna fence with you. Take a few days off. Harry, a couple of days. Think things over, Callahan. Get with it. It's a whole new ballgame these days. Funny, I never thought of it as a game. I examined your sister Elizabeth, and I tested her again yesterday. There haven't been any changes. The computerized tomogram doesn't show any evidence... ...of chronic subdural hematoma. Physically, she's in good condition. But she remains in this vegetative state that we've been unable to penetrate. We can't even get a primitive startle response out of her. Now, we're gonna keep trying. We're always hopeful. You should be too. WOMAN [OVER PA]: Dr. Blooming, call your office, please. Dr. Blooming. Dr. MockIeter. Dr. Richard Mockleter, please call Line 5. Dr. MockIeter, Line 5. Hi, baby. It's me. Jen. I missed you. WOMAN [OVER PA]: Dr. Blooming, call your office, please. Dr. Blooming. Beth? I saw one of them. He just appeared on the street in front of me. At first I thought I was having some horrible vision. But no. He was there. Older, uglier. I followed him. For days I watched him. Then I bought a gun. I followed him to a bar. Let him pick me up. Let him drive me to a deserted spot. Let him think.... It was like I was outside myself.
