[g*nshots]

Oh, boy.

I had to do that.

Bobby hill,
my daryl ann's pregnant.

You're kidding.
A little cowboy?

Great!

I just need more time,
that's all.

Well, I don't have
more time.

You gotta make up
your mind.

[g*nshots]

[Baby crying]

She says they've got
a witness against you.

Don't worry about it, bro.

You ain't got to worry about
no trouble from no witness.

If anything happens
to my wife, I'll k*ll you.

Tell her, chump!

Tell her I'm coming.

I mean, I have
these two tickets

To the philharmonic's upcoming
rendition of mahler's fourth.

Kazakawski's conducting.

Like I said, I can't.

And I have two tickets
to the philharmonic's

Upcoming rendition
of mahler's fourth,

And I would be honored
if you'd join me.

Howard, are you asking me out
on a date?

[Siren blaring, fades]

Come on out from there!

Captain furillo's
reservations aside,

Our operation against
flagrant drug trafficking

Continues in that vicinity.

Are you now retracting
what you said yesterday

About stop & cop
being a sham?

That's all I have.

[Overlapping chatter]

I can't keep you
on the hill.

You had your chance
to make amends,

And you threw it
right back in ozzie's face.

- His order.
- You forced my hand.

You're out, that's it.

Help you?

Scotch. Fifth.

Item six, absences.

Larue has definitely
got mono.

That means he'll be out
three weeks minimum.

[Laughter]

The guy is sick, let's not make
a party out of it.

And the big absence,

Which when I talked to him
this morning,

He had the flu,
but even if he were well,

Captain furillo has been
reassigned to division.

[Groaning]

Which, in my opinion, stinks.

But that expressing
of an opinion

Is exactly what got him
in trouble.

So moving right along
to item seven.

Who are they bringing in?

We won't know
for about a week.

In the meantime,
command is lieutenant hunter

And lieutenant calletano.

Item seven,
stop & cop.

And this comes directly

From deputy chief briscoe
at division.

[Groaning, murmuring]

Every available body
will be on the street

For immediate assist
and backup

For all observed
narcotic transactions.

Luce, everybody?

Everybody means everybody.

First one will be on that
slimline radio storefront.

Now, chief briscoe said
that they're really looking

To make some dents
out there.

That's a lot of crap.

Hey, look,
everybody knows

What the mayor's attitude is
on this one.

So let's just go out there,
dig our heels in, and do it.

- That's right.
- Last item.

William mullins.

He was re-released
this morning.

Now, this guy's brother
was fingered

By joyce davenport yesterday.

She's getting protection,
but when she's around,

Be alert, and let's show that
we're aware of the situation.

That's it.

Captain coming back?

Is there anything
we can do?

I don't know.

They say that
he's not coming back.

Man, cleveland's gotta
be crazy.

All right, look...

We're all gonna know
all about this soon enough,

So in the meantime,
we just do our jobs.

So let's just roll
and be careful out there.

We'll have no problem at all,
will we, huh?

- That's right.
- No problem at all.

[Indistinct chatter]

Lieutenant.

Can I see you
for a second?

Sure.

You remember whitney barnes?

The townhouse tapes?

Yes.

Well, chief daniels is
on this one with her.

How do you come into
possession of this?

J.d. Made a copy.

Neal, doing that
with evidence is illegal.

That's what I told him.

That's why I took it away.

As long as I didn't
get rid of it yet,

Maybe we could help
the captain.

I don't believe this would be
the way to go about it.

Then...

I'm returning evidence,
lieutenant.

Hey, will you wait
one second for me?

- Yeah, I'll be over here.
- Thanks. Sarge...

I don't want to be a pain,
but i.a.d.

Put me on desk today.

I talked to briscoe personally
about you.

He said you had
to go out.

I reminded him that you were
officer involved just yesterday.

Yeah.

He said everybody
goes out.

Okay.
Okay.

I k*lled somebody once.

I you ever want to talk
about anything...

I don't know.

Thanks, lucy.

- Clara?
- Yeah?

Uh, how are you today?

I'm okay.
Um, I'm gonna be okay.

I understand how difficult
it must be for you.

Thanks.

By the way, I happen to have
two tickets

To the philharmonic tonight.

- Is that right?
- Yeah.

It's mahler's fourth.
Kazakawski's conducting.

Would you like to gonna?

Yeah.
Yeah, I'd like to.

A key made
in half an hour.

If frank had wanted
a key made,

He would have said so.

All right, can we please not
water the hydrant about this?

We're not doing
such a thing, henry.

I have been left in charge,
and I am the boss.

Oh, no, no, no, ramundo.

I am the boss.

I am the boss, howard.

Oh, I'm not arguing rank,
compadre.

It's inflection.
You're stressing the wrong word.

It's not "I am the boss,"
it's "I am the boss."

You are a jerk.

[Siren blaring,
police radio chatter]

[Maudlin piano music]

♪♪

♪♪

I didn't hear you
come in last night.

- I was late.
- Where'd you go?

For a walk.

Got the flu.

You all right?

Are you all right?

You've been reassigned,
you're sick.

There's a sgt. Moriarty
outside--

My escort.

I don't know him.

He's reading retirement
brochures.

Great confidence builder.

You have a bodyguard.

Just in case he takes off
for florida.

No good, joyce.

Frank, I don't want
to argue about it.

Are you going in
to division?

See how I feel.

What can I bring you home?
Some chicken soup?

Great, thanks.

I hope you feel better.

- Good morning, ray.
- Good morning, chief.

Any fires up here?

Chief, excuse me.

I am wondering
if there's any chance

You will reconsider
frank's reassignment.

Reconsider, ray?

Frank made a mistake.

He made several.

But I believe he deserves
consideration.

This is the mayor's play,
amigo.

And the mayor's not
currently disposed

To do captain furillo
a favor.

Of course, ozzie was your man
in the election, ray.

Maybe you can prevail
on him.

- Chief.
- Henry.

We gonna kick some butt
on stop & cop this morning?

We're gonna try.

You may see warren briscoe
out there.

Okay.

Off the record,
I'm thinking of him

As the transitional guy
for your precinct.

Ray.

I hate that man.

What's the deal,
lieutenant?

Division's assigned
a bodyguard

To the captain's wife.

I want to go after it
from the other end.

Good.
Good for you.

I don't want this sociopath
mullins

Anywhere near
joyce davenport.

What are we talking
about here?

I'm talking about
mullins is a junky.

When he's released
from michigan avenue,

We put a tail on him.

When he tries to cop, we roust
him and his connection.

Shut this guy off cold,
and sooner or later,

He could make a mistake
he'll go away for.

Or blow town.

Either of which would be
fine with us.

I thought we were
on stop & cop.

I'm running command post
on stop & cop, harry.

I can take care
of that part.

But maybe you'd like
to be reassigned.

No, I don't want to be
reassigned.

Okay.

- Leo...
- Hi, ms. Davenport.

Uh, mr. Lewis burke?

Uh... Interrogation.

That's where I'll be,
detective.

Oh, okay, I'll wait
right outside the door.

Ms. Davenport.

Um, what you did
in court yesterday,

It meant a lot
to a lot of people.

Thank you.

Anybody see my catcher's mitt?

Your catcher's mitt?

I had the oil,
I had it wrapped.

Trying to break in
the pocket.

Uh, no, I haven't
seen it, leo.

- Sorry.
- Damn.

I shouted,
the suction was reversed,

And like a sh*t, they were
sucked down into the drain.

Excuse me?

My genitals,
the family jewels.

You're saying literally--

They were sucked down
to the whirlpool drain.

This is why I hit him.

Dennis delilo?

Yeah, substitute therapist.

I'm going there seven weeks
for my back.

I never saw him before today.

Not only he pushes
the wrong button,

But he becomes
hysterical.

I can't pry his hand
off the button,.

I got one hand
over the side of the tub,

The suction is
crucifying me,

He's screaming,
and I can't get his hand off.

This is when you struck
mr. Delilo in the jaw?

I'm not a violent man,
but I felt as if my genitals

Were in a vice.

Uh...

Without knowing the extent
of the other man's injuries,

It's hard to tell where
they're going with this.

I didn't think
I hit him that hard.

At the arraignment,
we may find that

They brought these charges
simply to deflect you

From a civil suit.

I understand.
Thank you.

Are you all right?

I'm in considerable
discomfort.

Hey, hey,
hold it up a minute.

Looks like he's
getting off here.

Uh-huh.
Okay, mr. Mullins, showtime.

I think he's gonna cop.

[Tires screech]

We'll give you
a fresh face.

- Police!
- Hit the wall, move it!

I said move it, chump!

All right, man, come on.

Nothin' but a narco bust.

- We're helping this guy kick.
- Is that right?

Yeah, that's right!

- We're gonna help you out, bro.
- This guy is shut off.

Anyone sells to him,
there's no plea bargain,

There's no rollovers.

The bust goes to the head
of the class.

Guaranteed you go away.

The guy's 86ed.

You got it.
Now, you spread it around.

What you fools think
you doin'?

Hey, you're gonna
make me mad

If you jump bail
with me, william,

Much as I want
to help you out, bro.

You're gonna stay clean,
mullins,

And we're gonna be right
inside your shirt, helping you.

I hope you didn't spend
your last dough for this, man.

Ain't no big deal, man.

I be high in an hour.

Then I got me some business
to take care of.

You ain't doing business
no more, chuck, you got that?

You are gettin' done to,

So you can forget about
all your threats.

Now walk!

Hey, what can we do
for you, william, huh?

Huh?

Be seeing you, mullins.

I have committed myself
to exactly nothing

With this purchase,
robert.

I took the item
to a pawn shop,

And the gentleman
offered me $50,

Which is exactly
what I paid jackie o'dell.

Who are you talking to?

I thought I was talking
to you.

Sounds like, to me,
you're talking to yourself.

Is that so, dr. Freud?

Yep, just before taking
the matrimonial pledge.

[Dispatcher over radio
unit 2202, sh*ts fired.

98Th and utica.
Respond.

2202 In response.

Don't be so snide and smart.
[Siren blaring]

Hey, I approve, renko.

I think daryl ann's
the greatest.

Then don't tell me what I have
or have not decided on.

Okay, that's fine.

When I plunge into
those icy waters,

I should be the first
to know.

Right.

[Siren blaring]

[g*nshots]

What the hell's
going on, jesus!

He's crazy.

His chick's trying
to cash me in!

Who might that be, jesus?

Claudia.
Claudia ramirez.

She comes, she starts
sh**ting up the place.

[Claudia]
jesus, you're a dead man!

[g*nsh*t]
she thinks I'm barricaded
inside my office.

- You know her?
- Yeah, a little.

Senorita claudia, would you
please kindly come out here?

He lied to me,
me mintió el desgraciado.

He promised he'd do
the right thing.

See what I mean?
Completely unreasonable.

Claudia, jesus is
with us.

[g*nshots]

Claudia!
[g*nsh*t]

Claudia, now,
you listen here, girl.

H is in protective custody.

You come out and we'll
reason about this.

Claudia, throw the g*n out
so we can see it.

Nobody needs to get hurt.

[Siren approaching]

Okay, darlin',
you come out now.

Jesus!

Jesus, you gonna be
a daddy?

That seems to be
the rumor.

Fay?

I just got your message.

I was just trying
to call you.

Listen, henry told me
about frank.

I mean, are they nuts.
Transferring him?

It's complicated.

We'll is he all right?

I think so.

Hey, do you remember
claudia ramirez?

No.

You interviewed her
for that unwed mother panel.

She demanded to speak with you
before she'd discuss her case.

What case?

She took a sh*t
at jesus martinez.

I like her taste
in targets.

[Door opens]

Mrs. Furillo.

- Claudia?
- You remember me?

To tell you the truth--

You talked to me!

Later, you came back
with some groceries.

Oh, my gosh.
You were my first interview.

How are you?

She's charged with
attempted m*rder,

Illegal possession,
and discharge of a firearm.

On the other hand,
no one was hurt.

Property damage was minimal.
She's an expectant mother.

I can't believe jesus
signed a complaint.

Because he knows
I'm coming after him.

He knows he don't get
no peace.

He's the father?

Claudia,
thr*at like that

Are exactly what the court
is concerned about.

We have to be able
to assure the judge

There won't be
any more v*olence.

I don't give no promise.

Claudia, you don't really want
to k*ll jesus.

No!
I want that he marries me.

I want a father
for my baby.

Have you and jesus sat down
and talked about this?

He wouldn't.

So I do what you told me.

You said if the father
won't talk to you,

Put a g*n to his head.

That was a figure of speech.

Our first order
or business

Is getting these
charges dropped.

I think our chances are
fairly good.

As long as there are
no outbursts in the court.

No yelling at jesus.

Claudia, do you understand what
ms. Davenport's saying to you?

I won't make no trouble.

Will you come?
Maybe you can talk to him.

Oh, I don't know
what I could say.

Say he should marry me!

Say I don't want
to be alone.

Thanks.

So how you doing?

Lieutenant hunter
asked me out on a date.

[Laughs]
yeah?

Yeah, i--

I think he's a nice guy.

Yeah, he's very nice.

Well, at least I can get
the name of his shrink.

Hey, one day at a time.

Oh, man, I've been having
these nightmares.

Real doozies.

Look, that's gonna happen
for a while.

[Dispatcher over radio]
all units, stop & cop suspect
fleeing on foot,

Northbound, 1400 decca.

Request all backup units.

Coming right at us.

[Siren wailing]

Halt!

Call an ambulance!

Oh, god.

Oh, god.

Why the hell wasn't pilsky
on a desk?

Orders from division.

They wanted everyone
on the street

For stop & cop.

Later, ray.

Uh, yeah.

Uh, is bob tunell there?
This is frank furillo calling.

W-would you know
where that is?

Could--
yeah.

[Tires screech]
that's gonna get you right.

Get out of here, man.
Get out of here, man!

- Spread 'em!
- Hey, man!

- Man, don't do this to me!
- Or what?!

Hey...
For a second time!

I guess we could
find it in our hearts

To forgive you
for this, william.

I'm gonna k*ll you!

Oh, is that the way
you talk to somebody

Who's concerned about you?

- No heat?
- He's clean.

Now we gonna pick up
the bozo

Who dealt you,
billy boy.

Have a talk with him too.

You gonna be out
of connections real soon, bro.

Hey, man...

You get smart!

You find another city,
hairball!

I'm gonna get you, suckers!
[Horn blares]

Oh!

[Man laughing]

Bob.

Frank.

Uh, could I ask you
to excuse us for a minute?

It's very important.

- Sure.
- Thank you.

I'll be at the bar

I'm sorry to track you down
like this.

Don't be silly, frank.

So, uh, tell me.

So, uh, I bought a bottle
last night,

And a half hour ago,
I poured myself a glass.

- Did you drink it?
- No.

But I'm running out of steps.

What brought it on, frank?

Um...

My job.

Got into a beef
with my bosses,

And wound up transferred.

My marriage.

My wife and I are, uh,
pretty distant at the moment.

I'm not sure what
all the issues are, bob.

What I do know is that, uh,
for the first time in...

Seven years,
ever since that time

I called you at 2:00
in the morning...

I really feel as if
I might wind up drinking.

Well, it's very simple.

Francis, don't do it.

Not if you think it's gonna
put you back on the skids.

Seven and seven.

Um, no, isn't that
for mr. Crane?

No, he has the sidecar.

Ah, right, right.

Right you are.

Something for you, sir?

No, thank you.

Well, I guess this is--

I guess this is what they mean
when they say...

"Red-handed," huh?

Oh, bob.

No, wait a minute, frank,
I want you to see something.

I want to show you
something, hmm?

Good luck.

Ahh.

Where's the lightning,
frank?

Where's the world
splitting open

Amd swallowing me up?

You've kept coming
to meetings.

Yeah, well, see,
that's the hypocrisy.

That's--
that's what I haven't had

The strength of character
to change,

Because you see,
I can handle it.

You've kept coming because
you know that's crap.

You may think
you're in control now,

But tomorrow,
next week...

Well, ten months--
ten months of tomorrows.

I can handle it.

We're alcoholics, bob.

You know how
it's gonna end up.

Speak for yourself.

I'm no automaton!

No damn organization's gonna
write the script of my life.

Well, at the moment,

You're in bigger trouble
than I am.

Play it in "e," frank.
Play it in "e."

Play it with strings.

You have my number
if you want to call.

I don't want you
in the alley.

I want you on the corner
on 10th

Covering bulldog two and three.

You have less than
two minutes, move it.

How we doing?
Are we ready?

About to find out.

Bulldog four,
give me your position.

Okay, keep cool.
Watch your time.

Yeah, we're ready.

Good.

Let's see...

It's two blocks down,
you can't see it from here.

That's too bad
we can't kick the door in,

Throw in a stick
of dynamite.

We'd close these places
real quick.

Your people okay
about that poor cop?

Pilsky.
They're a little hinky.

Well, this'll be
what they need.

We lose a trooper,
we get something back.

[Buzzer buzzes]
what?

Yeah. Ready to go.

All right, let's go.

[Tires screech]
busted!

Hey, you, stop!

Hold it right there!

[Overlapping shouts]

Okay, bring 'em up.

Move! Move!

Everybody freeze!

Steel door.

Back it up.

All right, come on,
move it-- let's go.

You have the right
to remain silent...

Heroin? Man...

[Sirens approaching]

Bingo.

Second thoughts
on stop & cop, captain,

In light of this
successful bust.

No comment.

How about in light
of your reassignment?

What's he doing here?

What, they don't
give you a chance

To get your things?

I didn't mean it
to sound that way.

Let me ask you something.

What do you think
if we shut down this

Stop & cop operation
for a few days

Until manpower's up to steam--
what do you think?

You know, I'm gonna be handling
transition here

For a dew weeks.

I'd really appreciate
your input.

Would you excuse me?

Oh, sure. Yeah.

Uh, deputy chief,
what are the plans

For stop & cop?

Come in.

How was first day
at division?

I haven't been there yet.

I got this bug.

You sound a little punk.

What was all that?

Oh, we got a little lucky on
one f the stop & cop moves.

Popped some serious weight.

Way to go.

Doesn't help you
get your job back.

That ship's sailed, henry.

[Bates]
her death's on your head.
It's your fault!

You gave me the order.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

I said pilsky, too.
I asked specifically.

I gave you no such order.

Oh, you lying
son of a--

- Lucy!
- Walk away, lucy.

- He's lying.
- Walk away.

Howard, reporters.

I asked him.
I asked him!

Clear back to the area
here at the desk.

- That's pathetic.
- She telling the truth?

Furillo, I make roster
assessments

For 24 turnout sergeants
a morning.

I get a fast 1/2 hour
to do it

If I get my calls through.

If she's right,
she's wrong.

- Which means she's right.
- Meaning I can't remember.

Now, bates and I can
call each other liars

And screw up
both our careers,

Or we can agree there was
a bureaucratic mix-up.

When I authorized
a general turnout,

Yes, she asked me
if pilsky was included.

I said everyone was active.

She did not tell me
who pilsky was.

So as long as you've still got
phantom feelings

In your captaincy, furillo,
get her to agree to that.

I'll try, now I think
you'd better leave it.

I want to know
that she agrees to it.

I'll call you.

You know I could also
romance her with an open

Insubordination--
you know that.

I'll call.

I have a hard decision
for you, lucy.

Yeah?

Briscoe wants the story
to i.a.d. To be that

You asked him about pilsky,
but you didn't identify her

As "officer involved"
from the day before.

I did!
I told him pilsky--

The one that was involved
in the sh**ting-- I said it!

He says if you did,
it didn't register.

You think I ought
to go along.

I can't tell you
to do that.

But I can tell you it'll turn
into his word against yours,

And if that happens,
you'll lose.

I should have known
it was wrong.

I should have known
it was a mistake.

You relayed the order
in good conscience.

Esterhaus would have known
what to do.

Pinch yourself up, luce.

What shall I tell briscoe?

Whatever he wants.

Frank.

What, fay?

I'm sorry.

How are you doing?

I've been better.

I know, but have you ever been
any worse?

No, sir, no.

I don't believe in disregarding
the chain of command.

Excuse me, mayor,
but it is common knowledge

Chief daniels reassigned
captain furillo at your--

I understand.

I understand.

All right.
Thank you for your attention.

Evidence.

They want to play hardball,
henry.

Calletano will play, too.

No kidding, lieutenant.
What position?

I keep trying to steady myself,
but I can't.

I keep feeling
as if I'm drowning.

But as if I'm in the middle
of the ocean,

And there's nothing
to grab onto.

Joyce needs me terribly
right now,

And I can't be there
for her.

Sound familiar?

Went or a walk
last night.

- Oh, frank--
- I didn't drink it.

Had it right there.

Frank, I know you have
the strength.

I shouldn't have burdened you
with this.

Are you kidding?

We have history.

Come here, scooter.

I have to be in court
in a few minutes.

The right side of the law
this time.

One of my welfare mothers.

Unless you want me to stay.

No, no, go.

Thanks.

No more of those walks,
mister,

Or I'll tie
your shoelaces together.

Guess I have to admire
your persistence, ray.

Do I have to paint "no sale"
across my forehead?

Here is a commercial
transaction

I think you will be
interested in.

"Big cheese."

Empty.
Educate me.

It is a tape of you and
a prost*tute, whitney barnes.

You are the big cheese.

Where's the videotape.

In my possession.

I guess that puts
all the cards on the table.

Yes.

Deal 'em.

Frank furillo
gets his job back.

- I.a.d. Get your statement?
- Yeah.

Have you seen lucy?

Look, maybe you want
to come back outside.

Maybe that'd be better.

Yeah, I just gotta--

Luce.

I can't talk right now.

Captain, could I bother you
for half a second?

What, leo?

I know you've been
transferred,

But I was wondering
if you could co-sign

A credit union
loan application.

How much?

$2,400.

New car?

Baseball camp.

It's perfect, captain.

It falls right
on my vacation.

Lot of money
for a baseball camp.

No, sir.
They give you a room

And three squares a day,
plus all the clinics.

How are things
at home?

Home's fine, captain.

Home's over.

Mrs. Schnitz is in vegas.

I wired here all the money.

She hopes to become
a dealer.

I'm sorry.

So could you sign?

You know, captain,

I was a first-string catcher
in high school.

I used to say that,
aside from mrs. Schnitz,

It was the only time
in my life

Something good happened
to me.

Captain, if there's ever
anything

That I can do for you...

Uh, could you get me
a few more boxes, leo?

Excuse us.

Ozzie's downstairs.

You and I have to come
to an understanding.

About?

Don't be coy, frank.

Ray calletano's never been more
than your right arm.

Now, I'm gonna have
your word

That all copies are destroyed.

I square you downstairs,
we have a clean sheet

Top to bottom,
agreed?

Ozzie, I've given you fast
and full support

In this situation
with frank

Pin a rose on you,
fletcher.

I'm reminding you of it
only because

I don't want my motives
confused

When I ask you now
to reinstate.

Please, hear me out.

It was my plan
to bring warren briscoe in

While I arranged
a replacement.

Warren's just told he
that he doesn't choose

To be considered.

That leaves us looking
at a command vacuum

Of several weeks'
duration

In a precinct which has
just lost its turnout sergeant,

And which,
on its best days,

Faces the morale problems
concomitant

To being this city's armpit.

None of which makes me
call you, ozzie,

If an hour ago
frank furillo doesn't give me

A very persuasive indication
of just how desperately

He wants another cr*ck
at this job.

Frank has asked for
a probationary reinstatement.

Given the circumstances,

I'd like you're permission
to consider it.

You don't need
my permission.

Ozzie...

Make your case.

Frank?

I'd very much like
another chance.

I realize I was wrong
to question policy.

And I'm sorry for
the embarrassment it caused you.

If I get a chance,
it won't happen again.

What frosted my butt was your
calling stop & cop politics,

Calling it trendy.

I grew up on these streets.

I held my brother
in my arms

While he d*ed
of this poison.

If I made a mistake...

Maybe I did encourage
an overcommitment of resources.

It was not to buy
popularity.

It would be a probationary
reinstatement, ozzie.

I think you try
to be a good cop, frank.

Credit me with trying
to be a good mayor.

All right.

Thank you.

I'm gonna be a tough
probation officer, frank.

Every copy.

Let's call it in,
huh, guys?

What do you say?

He's got a g*n,
let's call it in.

We're three cops here.

How many cops
do you want?

He's coming.

Police! Freeze!

Hold it, mullins!

Put it down, mullins,
it's over!.

You want me?
You want me?!

- Drop it!
- Come on!

Caught my generals,
your honor-- my gentle parts.

Is this correct,
mr. Bernstein?

Mr. Burke's... Parts

Were sucked into
a whirlpool drain?

My papers indicate
the defendant

May have suffered
some provocation, your honor.

Some? Some provocation?

How would you like it?
Can you imagine?

You jerk, you amateur,
you moron!

[Judge]
all right, calm down now.

[Bangs gavel]

What we have here...

Is a classic crime
of passion.

And potentially,
a monstrously lucrative

Civil suit.

But so that judge could
make him do the right thing.

Isn't that right?

Claudia,
I'm not a lawyer,

So I can't help you
with that part of it.

But ms. Davenport seems
to think not.

Why not? I'm not
his common-law or nothing?

Claudia, look,
I think we just have to be

As realistic as possible.

First time we met,
I remember you told me

You kept your baby.

I wasn't 17, and it wasn't
my first child.

Besides that,
I had job skills,

And I had some money.

He's got money!

You think all that g*ng stuff,
he don't have money?

He should marry me.

And what if he won't?

I think you should consider
adoption.

I want my baby.

I know.

But what we don't know is
whether jesus wants your baby.

Let me put it to you
this way, jesus,

Is there anybody else
you'd rather marry?

It comes down to your
fundamental,

Basic human freedoms
versus sl*very.

[Bailiff]
docket n637772,

Claudia ramirez--

Illegal possession of a w*apon,
and attempted m*rder.

Fay?

I'm counseling miss ramirez

On her pregnancy,
your honor.

Aha.

I see a felonious att*ck,
I see .38-caliber w*apon.

Your honor, there are
extenuating circumstances.

And I see a bun
in the oven.

Which I take to be
the responsibility

Of the complainant.

I want to plead the fifth
on this, your honor.

Spineless punk.

Yo, judge, how 'bout
some contempt of court here?

Contempt of life,
that's what you are.

Look at this beautiful girl.
Come with me, claudia.

Come here!

Now put your hand
on it.

Feel that.
You can feel life in there.

It's moving.

But you know what
I don't understand?

I do not understand
how a man doesn't love

The woman that's
carrying his child.

Yo, who says
I don't love her?

Of course I love her.

It feels good
when I'm with her.

Then why don't you drop
the charges and marry her?

Who says I ain't gonna
marry her?

Of course I'm gonna
marry her.

All right!

You had a blood test,
young man?

Yes, sir, a couple
of months ago.

Unrelated incident.

What?
[Speaking spanish]

Yo, woman, I passed.

If the parties agree
to marry,

Will the state drop
the g*n charge?

Yo.

[Judge]
and do you, jesus emilio
martinez,

Take this woman to be
your lawful wedded wife?

Yeah, I do.

- The ring.
- Ring?

I ain't got a ring, bro

[Renko]
excuse me, judge, sir.

I think this oughta
do you just fine, jesus.

What do you need for this?

Exactly what I paid
for it-- $75.

Got you covered.

I now pronounce you
man and wife.

[Speaks spanish]

Thank you, officer.

Oh, I'm so happy
for you!

[Happy chatter]

- Cowboy?
- Yeah?

Um, I bought this
for marty.

It was gonna be
her birthday present.

I want you to have it.

What you do with it
is up to you.

Oh, bobby hill.

So that's gonna be it
with i.a.d.?

They'll have follow-up
questions tomorrow.

Like what?
What kind of questions?

What's your problem,
garibaldi?

I mean, you act like
you got something to hide.

Look, if we would have
busted that guy the first time,

Or even the second time,
he'd be alive.

So what's i.a.d. Gonna say
about that, huh?

They're not gonna ask
about that.

What, are you gonna
tell 'em?

Look, harry, didn't you ever
use discretion

On a possession bust?

The man came out
with a piece, harry.

He was ordered to disarm.

He sh*t at us.

I know.

We hunted the guy.

He was hunting too.

Family.

Look, what I know is
that the guy threatened

Captain furillo's wife.

Does that give us permission
to k*ll him?

Look, you gotta understand
something, kid.

We stayed on that guy's back.

We gave him a chance
to make a mistake,

But he made it--
it was his choice.

And he could have
come in, right?

And you gave him a chance
to drop his w*apon.

Convict yourself for what's
in your heart, harry.

You're not gonna make
a cop, man.

You'll have v*olence
in your heart a lot.

- Detective.
- Ms. Davenport.

Uh, part of me wants
to ask what happened.

What's that?

How william mullins d*ed.

He just robbed
a liquor store.

He was armed.

He resisted arrest.

He sh*t at you?

Uh-huh.

I'm-- I'm sorry
for asking you that.

- I--
- it's okay.

Oh, god.

It's all right.

Thank you.

Hey, take it easy.
It's okay.

Yeah.

Got a friend here
to see you.

Daryl ann...

- What?
- Uh...

Daryl ann...
Daryl ann...

Whatever it is,
just say it.

Um, do you think
that you, um,

Would marry me?

Well, I already said
that I would.

Well...then, uh...

You mean this is it?

You're asking me?

I figure I have to,
or else,

What would I do with this?

Andy, it's beautiful.

I can't believe it.

I thought you were gonna
give me the boot

As sure as anything.

I thought about it,

And I decided any man
who would give you up

Ought to have his head
examined.

I love you,
andy renko.

And I love you,
future mrs. Andy renko.

Are you as scared as I am?

You sure you want it back?

I was surprised how much.

I stood in that
station house today,

And I looked at that decent,
kind man,

Knowing what he'd done
for me.

Everything I hear says
that went by the book.

I looked at washington,
and I felt--

I thought of all
the decent people

Working in that precinct,
doing terrible things

Because their jobs
made them.

I hated where I was standing.

I hated
that station house.

Oh, frank...

I need you.

I need us back together
so much.

We have been separate.

Yeah.

Ever think it might not
be our fault?

It's the damn work.

And the damn world
we work in.

I nearly took a drink today.

Know anyone who wants
a fifth of hooch?

[Laughs]

Trade?

You could always use
another g*n,

And I could sure use
a belt.

[Meows]
