At the painted lady saloon,
We have detectives larue
and washington initiate
A new investigation in their
ongoing arson operation.
That address is
112 rome avenue.
I lost that chinese chick's
phone number.
That is the correct address,
isn't it, detective larue?
Oh, yeah,
I was just telling neal
How much I'm looking forward
to initiating the arson
investigation, sarge.
Yeah, tonight
in a chinese laundry.
That's a section 2 alert,
people.
All right, pairings.
Engel, you're with altman.
Daly, you're with salvegi here.
Court testimony,
detective belker.
Also, officer russo
and lieutenant goldblume
Continue undercover
in division's liquor
racketeering investigation.
Item 8.
[Chuckles]
Today at 1500 hours,
uncle john petruzzi
goes to jail!
[Cheering and applause]
Uncle john's
last day of freedom.
You know, I think
it's a shameful thing, sarge,
The papers treating that man
like a celebrity.
A sentiment shared
at the podium, andrew.
Yes, sir.
But his neighbors are turning
out to send the great man off.
Sergeant bates
and officer flaherty,
You are assigned
to crowd and traffic control.
Also, you will check
with captain furillo
for further instructions.
Item 9.
With reference to yesterday's
sh**ting death of officer
james sanders.
While the fatuous press lionizes
the misguided vigilante who took
officer sanders' life,
I convey the,
the more pedestrian information
That he is survived
by his wife and child.
There is a contribution jar
on my desk.
Have a safe tour, all of you.
Dismissed.
[Chatter]
Traffic control--
shoulda wore my day-glo gloves.
Maybe the captain wants to
coach us on arm signals, huh?
Message, lieutenant.
I don't know any dotty walker.
Well, she says
she's the talent coordinator
For the don chesler show,
lieutenant.
They want to know
if you're available tonight
To talk about your friend
who got k*lled.
No.
It's for a cop's family.
I don't know, maybe her number's
in my other shirt.
This is fair warning, mister.
By arresting me,
you're gonna be buying yourself
Into more trouble
than you've ever known before
Because I am bilbao
and I have the capacity
To gypsy curse you
beyond your wildest imagination.
If your name's bilbo,
How come your driver's license
says nathan goldfarb?
He is nathan goldfarb.
Don't listen to him,
what he says.
I tell myself it's a midlife
crisis, I should stand by him.
Who is this woman?
Saved $35,000
from selling a taxi medallion.
All of a sudden,
he's a storefront gypsy.
The landlord
made a complaint, ma'am.
Residing in a commercial space,
cooking animals.
We live at 147th street
and decker in an apartment,
It's very nice.
And he sits like a mashugana
on the floor in a storefront
Cooking terrible food
without vents.
Thank god, madam,
I am not your husband,
Or I'd strangle you
with my bare hands.
He puts up a sign--
"tarot readings".
God forbid someone should
ask him to read one.
Book him, maybe he'll
forget about this nonsense!
Oh, if you book me, mister--
Don't make me
add resistance, sir--
All right, you give me
no other choice!
Dark eye of satan,
lord of romany,
When the blood
has been betrayed,
Let a hundred demons reign!
What did you just do to me?
The curse of a hundred demons.
If there is a worse curse,
I don't wanna know from it.
[Officer]
come on.
Domestic call, renko.
He put a curse on me.
Renko--
I can't work with no curse.
What makes you so special?
[Door rumbles open]
[Dispatcher]
we have a 9-11,
armed robbery in progress.
See surplus store,
Corner peebles drive,

Officer russo
and lieutenant goldblume
Have been on loan to division's
liquor racketeering operation.
Officer russo's undercover.
[Coughing]
In the course of her
undercover work,
She's developed information
that there may be an attempt
On john petruzzi's life
before he goes to jail.
What kind of information?
Tina's been working
with dominick donatelli,
Petruzzi's right-hand man.
[Coughing]
I'm sorry, i, uh,
I got a frog here.
So officer russo
has been working
Under dominick donatelli.
Be nice to know
time and place.
I'm trying to find out.
We've passed the information
to the marshal's officer.
Lieutenant buntz, you'll
coordinate by following petruzzi
With the man assigned
by the federal marshal.
Who is?
They haven't told us yet.
Par for the course.
Lucy, you two will be
on crowd control.
I want you to keep your distance
from petruzzi.
I don't want you caught
in a possible crossfire.
Twist our arms.
Uh, lieutenant goldblume's
preparing warrants
Here at the precinct
For the racketeering arrests.
He'll relay to the site
In case tina develops
some more specific information.
Are you all right, norm?
Okay, captain, thanks.
Tina?
I know it's a rough assignment
with donatelli.
If I can get time
and place, captain, I will.
I think the captain means
he knows you're walking
on eggshells.
It's okay.
The building we're talking
about's on jerome avenue, right?
What building?
Hey, I thought you said this guy
wanted something b*rned.
We're talking hypothetical--
a hypothetical building.
Hypothetically, it's on jerome.
Hypothetically,
the freakin' bills on this place
are putting me under.
There ain't a dollar in it
for me unless it's b*rned.
You the guys for the job--
hypothetically?
A match has been known
to drop from our hands.
It's happened.
- How much?
- Hypothetically?
I need a phone!
9-11, I need the police!
b*at it!
There's a crazy guy out there,
hurt this old lady.
It's a tough city.
Hey, where you going?
Come on, it's an old lady,
after all.
Real public-minded,
your friend.
A regular boy scout.
You asked the question,
how much for a fire?
Saw him knock an old lady down
and take her purse.
Me and my buddy chased him here.
Go away, I don't want
your blood on my hand!
My quarrel's not with you!
Yeah, hit me, you little creep.
I'm no old lady--
I'll crush your head.
- Back!
- Hold it, hold it, police!
- All right, hey, you're busted.
- I'm busted.
- All right, where's
the old lady he roughed up?
- Gone.
I think her daughter was with
her-- they got on a bus.
I make the deals!
Hey, you guys are cops, huh?
You think I didn't know?
Oh, we had you, sucker!
Had who? My thoughts were
purely hypothetical!
All right, come on, dwarf.
I hope at least there's money
in the purse.
Good thing you came.
Oh, I'm thrilled.
Come on, fellas.
I gotta go to work.
Here, I wrote our names.
This is just swell, neal.
Uh, next time I need
a building torched by cops,
I'll call you two guys.
What kind of
landlord/tenant dispute?
I feel weird, you know?
Lightheaded.
Where are you going
with this, renko?
You going for a personal day?
I'm not going for
a personal day, mr. Wisenheimer.
I'm just telling you
that I don't feel good.
Cowboy, you're talking yourself
into something behind that
screwball gypsy's curse.
I had a hundred thousand demons
rammed me right into my face.
Here, the cops.
You're a jerk, you know that?
Says very clearly, "no pets,"
here, read the lease.
I don't have to read this lease,
I don't have to read nothing.
Sir, there's a complaint
procedure if your tenant
has a pet violation.
Not just one pet!
What, two pets, three?
[Buzzing]
thousands!
Bees.
Oh, my lord.
The booklet
says they're harmless.
What booklet?
I am going into business.
I'm gonna sell the honey.
Well, they're not the kinda bees
that bite, are they?
They can.
I mean, they still
got their sting,
But the books says they don't.
Aah!
Where you going?
Uh, sir, this is a problem
for your animal control, sir,
Or your landlord/tenant
reconciliation panel.
You guys just work it out
yourselves, all right?
And you, you said
the bees don't bite?
- That's what it said.
- That's what your book says?!
It wasn't supposed to
happen, all right?
Too bad I don't have
a curse on me, robert.
Too bad I don't feel like
my nose is gonna explode!
[Groaning]
[Crowd talking excitedly]
[Woman]
look at him, he's on.
But he always has time
for everyone.
[Woman]
he's still a handsome man.
I remember when he came
to angie's confirmation.
Right, he's
a great american, ladies.
Let's just clear
the sidewalk, okay?
Listen, I knew him
20 years ago.
Oh, I bet you did.
[Horns honking]
Look at this guy.
Going to jail,
looks like he's on a picnic.
What do you think jail's
gonna be for him?
These mob guys got it waxed.
- Hill street cops?
- Yeah.
Detective buntz.
Right there.
Thank you.
[Bates]
think that guy walks
like a federal marshal?
[Flaherty]
they call us flatfoots.
Federal marshal?
Anybody sh*t yet?
You'd have been a big help
if they were.
- Hudson.
- Buntz.
Real impressed
at the federal building
With the quality
of the information
you people passed along.
Your informant come up with
anything a little more specific?
She's on her back right now
working on it.
Canker sore.
Mercy.
Look, it's moses.
That's not the way it's done.
Cross at the corner
just like real people.
She's right, jimmy.
What's the matter
with you, huh?
I'm sorry, officer.
Left your coat at the bakery,
mr. Petruzzi.
Oh, thank you.
Give him 20 bucks.
Aw, I couldn't accept that.
A pleasure to serve.
Now he's gonna ask me if I'm
in the knights of columbus.
- What the-- aw, geez.
- What's the matter?
What's that, sir?
A bull's-eye?
Ah, someone's a comedian, huh?
Smart guy, huh?
What's up, sal?
What's on your mind?
Yeah, go on, swing on him.
That'd be a good idea.
It's all right,
it's all right, jimmy.
The officer can chuckle
about his joke on uncle john
While he tries to make
his mortgage payments.
What's the matter with you?
Nothing--
I think I'm okay.
You people got something against
having a quiet day?
[Siren wailing in distance]
Hey, mick!
Hey, stan!
Yeah, how you doing?
Good.
What are you doing here?
What, I louse up the day?
Weren't we gonna get together?
Right.
Yeah.
Lunch.
I still gotta go in and testify.
What's the case?
Ah, drug buy,
widmore bridge area.
Oh, that stuff's going
through that neighborhood
like sherman to the sea.
It's coming down my way to.
About ready for you, detective.
Oh, thank you.
You don't mind waiting?
No, no, you go ahead.
- Wanna watch?
- Yeah.
Yeah, maybe I'll watch
for a while.
Check out your
courtroom demeanor, huh?
You're back.
Hi, dom.
So, how's your mom?
I think she knows.
What do you mean?
I think she knows about us, dom.
Knows what about us, honey?
We haven't done anything yet.
Ever since I was a little girl,
she knows what I'm thinking.
She knows exactly
what's on my mind.
Oh, dom, dom, you know
that that drives me crazy.
You know that one thing
leads to another--
That's right.
Dom-- dom, no!
Besides--
I think you got your mind
on something else.
Tin'--
Come on, tell me.
Uncle john what?
Will your forget about it?
Oh, so now you're the tease,
you are.
[Laughs]
Okay, okay.
He gets it today.
Uncle john never sees no jail.
I thought so.
I thought I heard you and
that larry guy talking about it.
Well, ain't this a red-letter
day for me, huh?
Uncle john finally off my back
for the first time.
When's it gonna happen?
It's so creepy talking about it.
We got time--
if you wanted to use it.
Stop!
All right, close your eyes.
Close 'em.
Come out, come out,
wherever you are.
I'm out four or five g's
But don't bother to open it
or anything like that.
[Chuckles]
A) I love you,
Which is the only time
I've ever said that
When I wasn't full of it.
And b) you've been right.
Shacking up is for when you
don't respect somebody.
So we get engaged,
we do it right.
All this money.
It won't break me.
Engaged isn't married.
[Sighs]
Dom, I'm sorry, it's just,
it's the way I was raised.
I mean, I can feel my mother
looking at us right now.
Okay.
You're right.
You're so good.
[Chuckles]
Just put the ring on.
Engaged isn't married, dom.
You didn't drive down
either, huh?
Arm and a leg
to park down here.
Ah, it's crazy.
Hey, you know,
the stones on that kid.
Dead to rights and he sits there
lying in his teeth.
They're all made
outta ice today, stan.
I try not to buy that, you know,
that today's perp is--
[Man]
come on!
Get off, get off
or you're gonna get hurt.
I'll take him
when he comes off the front.
[People screaming]
Give it up,
give me that money!
Give me that dough!
[Woman screams]
Be quiet! Shut up!
Police officer!
[Woman screaming]
Get out, get out!
Back up!
Back up or I'll k*ll her!
Back up, man, I'll k*ll her!
Drop the Kn*fe!
Drop it!
[Kn*fe clatters to ground]
On the ground, toe jam!
Do it!
Got him, mick?
I got him.
Way to go, stan.
[Laughs]
We're a month setting up
an arson number.
This jamoke blows it for
an eight-dollar purse snatch.
First name max,
last name emili--
give him robbery and as*ault.
The rest will be
between me and god.
What rest?
Did you jaywalk
on your way into the alley?
Lieutenant goldblume.
What, what language
works with you people?
Well, I'm sure don would take
a sympathetic approach,
But I'm not interested.
Miss, I gotta run up
48 arrest warrants on
illegal liquor traffic today.
When I'm through tonight, all
I'm gonna wanna do is go to bed.
Talk shows wanna hear about
your friend, henry?
They won't let up.
Hmm-- I must say
that I find the public's
Hero-worshipping fascination
with steve merkur offensive.
One of the people he k*lled
was a police officer.
Steven didn't set out
to k*ll a cop.
He didn't intend that.
Oh-- I'm sure that that's
a consolation to sanders' widow.
I've been patient
as long as I can, frank.
That man has provoked me
beyond toleration.
He's the next thing
to openly insubordinate.
It just doesn't sound like ray.
What are you saying, frank,
that I'm making it up?
Yesterday he refused
to answer his intercom.
Said if I wanted to see him,
I knew where his office was.
And like an idiot, I go there.
And as I'm leaving,
I see in reflection--
He's making faces at me.
Obscene gestures.
It's ludicrous.
Chief, he's been
under a lot of stress.
Losing his command, getting
an assignment a lot of people
perceive as tokenism.
Oh, when do we get to the part
where I give a damn?
Well, I'm just wondering
if he's not having some sort
of emotional problem.
You wanna know ray calletano's
problem, frank?
He wants equal opportunity
till the heat's turned on,
Then he wants
special consideration.
Well, I'm through
letting him have it both ways.
They can call me anti-latino
or any other damn thing.
He's gonna act like a cop
or he's finished!
Let me talk to him.
Pronto, all right, frank?
Our friend's just about
played out his string.
Howard, cancel my 12:00 and get
me ray calletano, would you?
One, two, one two.
You sure,
little red light go on?
It's working, j.d.
May I confess?
You can confess
in a minute, mr. Emeli.
First i, uh, want it on
the record that you declined--
I decline an attorney.
Wait a minute.
We've informed you
of your fifth amendment right
And your right
to have a lawyer.
Okay-- now.
I decline.
See, 'cause if you're
thinking down the road
About pulling
some number with this,
Getting yourself off--
I have taken lives.
I would have taken the life
of that woman this morning.
Sometime it has to stop.
What lives have you taken,
mr. Emeli?
Appleman--
Carter--
[Sighs]
It's time for all the names
to come out.
Like-- cool, falling rain.
Hey, weren't you the guy
got world w*r one started?
Whacked out that archduke
over there in europe?
I first took life
eight years ago,
And then not again
for four years.
I tried to hope it was a dream
that would never come again.
But it did come again.
Sonya appleman.
That someone you k*lled?
Ernestine carter.
And suddenly--
Tommy schneider and--
Lewis whitlock.
Tommy schneider's
that 12-year-old.
You k*lled him, max?
My hands.
Strangled him.
Yeah, that's what
the papers said.
[Sighs]
I took an ear from-- a piece of
an ear from the schneider boy.
That wasn't in the papers.
Oh, at last
it's coming to an end.
The circle--
is being broken.
J.d., Neal.
We wanna do this
by the numbers, captain,
But neal and me
wanted to let you know
We think we might have hooked
a pretty big fish.
- Oh?
- Yeah, the guy's copping
to multiple homicides.
- Credibility?
- Some pretty funky details.
He knew about
the schneider kid's ear.
That wasn't in
any of the papers.
Was he mirandized?
He have representation?
Declines.
Says it's on his conscience.
He wants to come clean.
But our offer of
representation's on record.
Every 20 seconds, captain.
I'm telling you, captain,
I was a tough sell
on this creep at the start,
But he's making me a believer.
We have a warrant
on his residence?
Just came through.
J.d. Had it right.
Take this by the numbers.
You got it, captain.
I just wanna tell you, captain.
If this thing breaks
the way I think it might,
There's gonna be recognition
for a lot of people.
Let's not count our chickens.
I'm just saying.
If I get some ink,
I'm not gonna forget the people
That stood by me
when it was tough sledding,
And you're on that short list.
Okay, thank you.
Dommy?
Si?
When?
When what?
When uncle john?
[Chuckles]
You're real cold,
you know that?
My little girl,
my little church girl,
Wants to know
when the old man's going down.
Well, you got me started.
You shouldn't have
talked about it.
I got you started?
You asked me
a hundred thousand questions.
Okay, never mind, forget it.
Ooh-- you're kinda
rough on me sometimes.
So what are you gonna
do for me in return, huh?
Gonna give me a little sugar?
- Maybe.
- A little sugar.
[Both laugh]
- Maybe?
- Maybe.
- Maybe?
- Yeah.
[Slap, russo gasps]
Come here, come here,
come here, my little girl,
My little convent girl
from the convent school.
What do you say we do it?
- Dom!
- Huh, we do it?
Come on, let's do it.
Let's do it while the old man's
getting hit, okay?
- Dom!
- Huh? [Laughs]
- Don't!
- Okay? Come on.
I got 25 grand that makes him
dead before he gets inside.
Before noon!
While he's doing his big sh*t
benedice at the bocce court.
Dom, don't.
Come on, you know you want it!
- No!
- You know you wanna do it,
so let's do it!
You said you would--
come on, you like it.
No...!

Capisce.
Proceed.
Our assignment
is traffic control.
Our assignment is not

Our assignment is not getting

We're part of the scenery.
Is that a "copy"
I'm getting, officer?
That's a copy-- we're supposed
to blend in and keep quiet.
But bull's-eye, wasn't that
a little funny, huh?
See, there's a thr*at
on uncle john's life, right,
And I made a little bull's-eye,
went "whoop"!
I understood!
I was laughing
but I was not amused.
Not amused.
That's a copy.

Those contracts only pay

With this many cops around.
Yeah? Tell joe colombo.
Phone's patched in, sir.
That car's registered

Tell him, uh, does himself,
does the old man,
Something on that order, huh?
Hello.
Who am I talking to?
Is this anthony ferugia?
[Woman]
I knew that man was trouble.
What kind, I didn't know.
What kind?
Mr. Emili's suspected
of a number of crimes.
Eh, this was a sandwich once.
What can you tell us
about him, ma'am?
What kind of hours did he keep?
I didn't watch.
He talk about where he went,

Never.

Ready, gentlemen?
Uh, give us just a minute,

Okay, fine.
[Sighs]
From the day I received
my captaincy,
I have never once
slept through the night.
I understand.
You don't.
For you,
command comes naturally.
For me, I survived too long
By understanding
the other man's point of view.
And when it came time
for me to lead,
I saw too many sides
of every question.
Then I didn't have
the courage to quit.
When my precinct
was taken from me,
Instead of leaving
as I should have,
I took this scrap,
this joke of a job.
I don't think that's
what the job has to be,
But if that's the way
you feel about it,
Maybe you should resign.
You don't understand
how deep the feeling is with us.
To keep any job,
to fear the unknown,
But you're right, I should.
Help me be brave.
Hey, you're gonna
wear out, j.d.
I hate polygraphs.
You ain't the one taking it.
How you think he's doing, neal?
I'd only be guessing, man.
I'm telling you,
even if he's guilty,
This max emili's the kind
of nervous little twitch
That a lie detector test'll
screw up.
How'd he do, mr. Bernstein?
It's a tough read.
On 16 different capital acts,
He demonstrates guilt
or guilty knowledge.
So we're in business.
But his reaction
to the test question
Was so idiosyncratic
that the baseline's bizarre.
Well, you are dealing
with a flake here, guys.
Where do we stand,
mr. Bernstein?
He either did it
or he's a "can't be tested".
Your man is definitely
a possible,
On schneider, winthrop, carter--
Thanks for all the help.
Where we going, j.d.?
We are dropping a dime
to certain journalists
of my acquaintance.
Hey, guy didn't exactly give us
the full speed ahead, you know.
Forget about
the polygraph guy, neal.
They're dealing
with a total bing-bong
And they want him to test
like the man in the street.
I think we ought to wait
for forensics
And the family witnesses.
Captain said
take it by the numbers.
Hey, the numbers
I'm thinking about
All got dollar signs
in front of 'em, neal.
Yeah, jerry wilmot, please.
You shoulda seen
this guy out there.
This guy was great!
Well done, stanislaus.
Oh, I just got lucky
out there.
After all, it's not like it's
the first perp I ever saw.
Are you kidding?
I could barely
keep up with this guy.
[Reporter]
--deployed around the hotel.
What's the matter, son?
Oh, I'm a little rankled
About our eater deployment
at that petruzzi messiness.
You know,
I'm armchair quarterbacking.
Hard to get used to being
on the sidelines, isn't it?
Message for me?
Oh, forensics wants you
to call them, detective.
Say, sarge!
Neal, neal,
stan just made a collar.
Hey, no kidding!
Yeah, I just got lucky.
Once a cop, right?
[All laugh]
Jimmy!
J.d. Larue.
It's a business call.
Career call maybe
for both of us.
I'm talking
about an exclusive
On a possible
mass m*rder*r, jimbo.
Yeah, me and neal washington
popped him a few hours ago.
What? Yeah, yeah, yes,
I did call jerry wilmot
before I called you,
But jerry wilmot couldn't buy
my ground rules for the slant
of the piece,
So now instead of having
his hand wrapped around maybe
the hottest mass m*rder story
Since that creep in florida,
Jerry wilmot's got his hands
wrapped around
The morning courier express--
- J.d.--
- In a minute, huh?
Hang up.
Just a second, jim-- what?
That picture we found,
max emili and the kid?
Yeah, what about it?
Well, forensics says
we've got problems.
Uh, I'll get
back to you, jimmy.
Yeah, something came up
on another case.
What problems?
Well, they say
this picture of max emili
With the schneider kid,
They say it might be
a composite.
What composite?
Where's the join?
They say it might be
a picture of a picture, j.d.
Oh, that's crap-- uh-uh.
Easy-- that's
the schneider boy's father.
Uh, detectives?
Mr. Schneider.
I was told there might be
information about my son?
About his k*ller?
Well, we have
a possible suspect, sir.
We want you to see
if you might recognize him.
Oh-- yeah, fine.
We'll set up a lineup.
Of course, now, even if
you didn't recognize him,
That wouldn't necessarily
mean anything.
I know, the idea's been
the k*ller probably wasn't
known by our family.
That's right.
I mean, this guy
could still be a candidate.
[Reporter continues on tv]
Ludicrous!
Unfathomable!
Hope and pray, sal.
That's all we can do now
is just hope and pray.
If you hurt petruzzi, tony,
it's a different ballgame.
I mean, nothing's happened
so far we can't fix.
Lieutenant,
maybe the hitter split.
Loses 20 g's.
Who's gonna fix things
for my sister doria, huh?
Forget your sister.
Is that old man there
worth ruining your life over?
[Buntz]
hey, there's russo with
her boyfriend dominic.
Mr. Donatelli should have
asked me to bid the work.
[Buntz]
mr. Donatelli's expression
is called the "oops" look.
Like, "oops, did I
overplay my hand?"
Hey, check russo.
She plays it out, huh?
Gotta give her credit
for stones.
You know, it might
do her some good to hear
some of that, lieutenant.
He's coming out.
I want your men
on either side of the door.
Keep 'em off.
Tony!
Put the g*n down.
I don't know.
I don't know what to do.
Got a clear sh*t, lieutenant.
Give him to us.
We'll put him away.
[Flaherty]
lieutenant,
look at the water tower.
Come on, give your r*fle.
[Goldblume]
he's going to jail, tony,
I promise you.
I got him, somebody--
[g*nsh*t]
Look at that r*fle,
look at that suit.
You see a possible link
with the alleged mafia, huh?
[Helicopter whirring]
Whew, headfirst.
Petruzzi will be going
to federal correction.
Hold him
for the federal marshal.
And local law enforcement
for mr. Ferugia.
Kidnapping, attempted m*rder,
reckless endangerment.
[Petruzzi]
you didn't have the hair
to do it, did you, kid?
If you was a man,
you woulda done it!
Mr. Petruzzi, calm down.
Lieutenant--
No questions now.
It's not a question.
I've got an invitation
you've been ducking
For the don chandler show
tonight.
You gotta be kidding!
No.
Uncle john,
so glad you're okay.
Of course you are, dominick.
Of course you are.
Yeah-- stay healthy, dom.
Crime scene, sir, come on.
Folks, help me out.
I'll go to my mother's.
Okay, go on, go ahead.
Look at this, tin'.
Look at what happened to me.
I know, dom.
[Chatter]
Andrew, what's wrong
with your nose?
My word--
I almost expired, sarge.
I got some kind
of intergalactic--
He got a bee bite, sarge.
Yeah, anaphylactic reaction,
really.
That's right,
that's what the doctor
said at the emergency room.
It is a mistake
to underestimate
The possible severity of
allergic reactions, robert.
Extreme cases can be fatal.
Sarge, the only extreme thing
about this case
Is how much somebody's been
goldbricking all day.
That's right,
this man's a rational man.
Robert hill don't cotton
to how all of a sudden
One's life can change with
a dark shadow coming over him.
Oh, please.
Oh, I take it, andrew, that
you're referring to the curse
That was inadvertently
administered by the gypsy--
Yes, I am.
A so-called gypsy's
so-called curse.
What would you know about it?
You're a rational man,
aren't you?
You're some kind
of rational man.
Careful, renko!
[Laughs]
Bulb burnt out.
I didn't want you walking
underneath the ladder.
You can get 20 years bad luck.
[Laughs]
Oh, howard, do we have
henry's racketeering warrants
So I can co-sign them?
Not as yet.
All right, I'll be at division
the rest of the day
With captain calletano.
Just ship them over there
or to my apartment.
Well, this came from the
department physician, captain.
Uh, 30 seconds, captain?
Yeah, 30 seconds, stan.
On my reinstatement?
Stan, I told you,
I need a few days.
Yeah, I know,
I just wanted to say,
You may hear that I helped out
on a pop this afternoon.
Thought you might be able
to figure it in.
Well, I don't know
what you're talking about,
But I promise you
it'll be figured in.
Excuse me, stan.
Oh, go ahead.
Catch of the day, captain.
The kid who grabbed petruzzi,
Suitable for stuffing
and mounting.
How's russo?
Seems to be okay.
[Coughing]
Good work, lucy, patrick.
Henry, warrants?
On the way back
from judge simpson's.
Uh, they got me to do
this idiot talk show.
Nice work, tina.
Tina--
You have a couple of minutes?
Sure.
Are you okay?
I just received
the notification report
From the police physician.
Says he saw you
for having been beaten.
I'm okay.
Dom got a little excited.
Is that as far as it went?
You mean did I sleep with him
for the where and when?
Did I break furillo's law?
Tina, the doctor speculates
You may also have been
sexually assaulted,
But you refused
examination or treatment.
I'm okay.
If donatelli r*ped you,
I want to charge him with it
when we bring him in.
Plus you should
also get some counseling.
Just promise me I get to be
in on donatelli's arrest.
You know you're doing
the toughest police work
there is.
But at least you get the respect
of your fellow cops.
I tell you something, neal.
You get lied to a lot
in this racket,
Teach yourself
to get used to it.
But I bought max emili,
I trusted the man.
Oh, lookit here.
Four years
in glenwood psychiatric.
That 86's him out of all
but two of the murders.
Yeah, got some more bad news
for you too, lover.
Forensics found the original
Of that photo with max
and the schneider kid.
It was in one of those boxes of
stuff they found in the room.
- Glued?
- Glued.
Thanks, pepe.
Want the rest of this?
Why be a glutton
for punishment?
[Sobbing]
Oh-- excuse me.
Uh-- I misplaced, um--
Sergeant jablonski and i--
Well, retired
sergeant jablonski--
We made an arrest that I used
this room for intake on the perp
And I somehow misplaced case
notes from an original arrest
That was totally unrelated
to this matter
And I was, um, testifying
to that in court this morning
prior to this other incident,
So i, uh-- just came in here
to look for them.
Are they here?
No, they're not.
Um--
How'd you get that shiner?
A jerk on my undercover.
Yeah? When do you pop him?
Tomorrow.
I don't know
if this'll work for you,
But I try to think about that,
about when I'm gonna bust him.
I just wish the other cops
around here wouldn't treat me
like typhoid mary.
Oh, hey, don't--
don't do that.
I'm sorry.
No, don't apologize.
You don't have to apologize.
Oh--
Were you going home?
Would you like to have a beer?
Huh? Wanna go out
and have a beer?
Hey--
Easy, baby.
This guy makes me sick, neal.
I agree, detective--
I loathe myself!
Shut up!
I k*lled them all,
all of us are responsible--
--Get up the nerve
to mug that old lady!
Yeah, I got one I'd like to be
responsible for.
All right, all right, come on.
Jim gerardi calling you,
detective, from the post--
Tell him I d*ed.
I thought it finally was
gonna be over.
I thought I'd finally
know how we lost tommy.
Look at this, frank.
Can you believe this?
The man says he's leaving.
I can't believe you're
so surprised, chief daniels.
Did you know about this, frank?
Ray said at lunch
he'd decided to resign.
Whew, bolt from the blue.
Chief, both of us know
I have not been happy.
Not doing a very good job.
A transitional
adjustment, ray.
You're too hard on yourself.
I have been angry
and disappointed.
It is better for me to quit
than behave as I have been.
Look, it's your call.
If it's what you want,
I certainly won't prevent it.
Only understand, uh--
there's been no duress.
No, no duress.
Hell of a guy, huh, frank?
Nice-- nice takedown
on uncle john.
Sometimes at night I have
dreamt of k*lling that man.
Do you get caught?
What is it with you?
Guys like uncle john
wind my watch.
Patrick.
Makes the day go quicker.
Hmm.
My teacher used to
say that to me.
"Mrs. Moiphy."
What?
What you said to me before?
"I'm laughing,
but I'm not amused."
[Laughs]
So now what are you
trying to say to me,
That I'm so much older
than you are?
No, no, I was just
remembering, that's all.
I liked mrs. Murphy.
Hey, mr. Goldfarb.
Oh, the name is bilbao.
Oh, right, bilbao.
Oh, please,
before the curse is removed.
Uh-huh.
Ah, where is
the afflicted party?
Right over this way.
Renko.
You got a lotta nerve.
Oh, I am here
to assist you, officer.
He's gonna take it
off of you, renko.
Not that anything
was ever on you.
Yeah, yeah, go.
Go on.
Okay.
Okay, what am I
supposed to do?
Okay.
Okay, what are you
gonna do?
Okay, it's off!
[Laughing]
You ain't gonna
believe it, neal.
I'm in the john
trying to decide
Not to rip off my arm and
b*at myself to death with it.
I find that telephone number
I lost,
The chick I went
out with last night?
See that, lover?
Every cloud
has a silver lining.
Mm-mm, no, neal,
I called the number.
No good?
Disconnected.
Maybe she had
a social disease.
Of course if she had
a social disease,
I probably already got a dose.
[Sighs]
We're back.
Something we should get to
About the death
of steven merkur, lieutenant.
About your involvement
with steve.
Is that a dilemma for you?
What dilemma?
That he was a friend of yours,
a good friend, a close friend.
That's right.
And yet as a police officer,
You must disapprove
of this vigilante--
Wait, wait, wait a second.
I don't see steve that way.
Go ahead.
Steve had a dream.
To see our streets
free of terror.
To write!
He wrote in obscurity.
He got a lot of slaps
in the face and rejections,
But it didn't stop him, and that
was why steven was heroic.
Because despite
all that discouragement,
He stayed true to his dream.
And have you read
this brave man's pages?
Yes.
Yes.
Good?
Worthy of the hero
who wrote them then?
Yes.
I have a feeling steven merkur
Had a very good friend
in you, lieutenant.
Lieutenant goldblume is
reluctant to bring this up,
But the man sitting here,
himself played the role of hero
At the blanton street
hostage situation today
Involving the famous or perhaps
I should say notorious
uncle john petruzzi.
A lot of us feel a lot safer and
perhaps a little bit prouder
Knowing our city has
law enforcement officers
Of the caliber of the gentleman
I'm sitting next to.
[Applause]
[Announcer]
don's guests tomorrow night
are health experts
d*ck and elaine coppernal--
[Turns off tv]
How was henry?
Good.
Don chesler thinks
the city's safer
With cops
like him on the force.
Job for you, furillo.
How are the benefits?
It's a spot
that needs kneading.
Hmm.
Yeah-- oh-- ohh-- mmm--
Brother.
All those years
of making dough.
[Laughs]
[Sighs]
Actually he wasn't.
Who wasn't what?
Henry wasn't good.
I mean, he was fine
but I just keep thinking
How lonely and uptight
he seemed.
You know what henry needs?
Yup.
Mmm--
Let's get into
that benefit package.
Mm-hmm.
Nice spot, lieutenant.
Thank you.
His stuff stinks, huh?
What do you mean?
Your friend's writing.
I could see you get
those scared deer's eyes
When I asked if it was any good.
Night, dots.
Night, don.
You were great.
He really loved you.
Oh, boy.
No, I mean it.
You were right there.
So many guests get
all tied up in the buzz.
Whereas I don't really know
what that means.
So don't take a compliment.
I still don't know
how you got me to do this.
Well, it's what I'm good at.
Hmm.
I know what you need now, too.
Yeah, what?
Well, aren't you still feeling
pretty wound-up, jazzed?
A drink, minimum.
You mean--
at least one drink?
I'm not sure what I mean.
Undercover is different.
Because if you're good at it,
Most times nobody else knows--
the inside of what you did.
So you gotta know.
And you gotta find a way
to make that enough.
It's not for everybody.
It's what I wanna be.
This'll help.
I'll take you
back to your car now.
