Congratulations

On the birth of
a brand-new baby daughter.

[Cops cheer]

Rachel. Kids asleep
in the next room.

What happened?

4:00 This morning,
she was att*cked. r*ped.

How do you feel?

- Happy we talked.
- So am i.

I'm almost embarrassed,
and I'm happier

Than I've been
in four months.

Rachel, we know
who the guy is.

You can put him away,
for god's sake.

Let someone else be a hero.

I will not let that animal
violate my life

Any more than
he already has.

Is that the Kn*fe
you used, james?

Is that the Kn*fe you held to
her throat? While you r*ped her?

My name's
cathleen mcconnell.

Pleased to meet you,
cathleen mcconnell.

Pleased to meet you,
henry goldblume.

I know capital punishment
is wrong,

But if I go
just with my feelings,

I got blood up to my elbows.

Okay, all right.
Hold it down.

I have the floor.

Welcome to first tour,
officers randall buttman

And lawrence swan.

[Man]
hi, girls.

These guys are, uh,
hill street's pick of

This year's police academy
litter. Step forward.

- I'm buttman.
- I'm renko.
- I'm hill.

Rookies, all right?

Buttman with bates.

Swan with coffey.

I'm gonna take swan.

And coffey'll take buttman.

Okay.

Item five.

Last night another prost*tute
was found m*rder*d.

137 And euclid.

It's our first,
but the heights

Has already had two,
and polk avenue another.

All with the same m.o.

Some john
bludgeoned 'em to death.

Let's see if
we can work up some leads

Among the sidewalk sadies.

They got a right
to breathe, too.

Item six.

Operation airwave.

Cable tv companies have been
putting the arm on division

To enforce the new

Theft of electronic
services law.

Estimates are we got
four times as many people

Stealing the cable
as paying for it.

That include cops, sarge?

Have we got something here,
detective?

Just saying, maybe
a few guys in this room

Don't pay for it either.

Why don't you mind
your own business there, boy?

Well, I do. Uh...

Anybody wanna
turn themselves in?

Garibaldi here will be
taking the collars on this,

Since it's him and mayo's draw,
this plum assignment.

Eh, they'll be
going after the installers.

Commencing stakeout
at 1600 archibald

At norman arms, where we've
been tipped that an individual's

Wiring the entire
apartment complex.

Item seven.

Also.

Garibaldi and mayo.

You two drew
a double-shift.

Harmon and fritch
from the night crew

Are both out with the flu.

Item a.

48% Robbery jump

In fast food joints along
the decker business center.

Detective mike belker

Undercover today
at uncle friar's

- Chicken kitchen, number 12.
- [Cops chicken-squawk]

Decker and devane.
Sherman and fraber, backup.

Let's don't lay an egg
out there, detective.

[Belker growls]

Don't--
don't get that wrong.

Well, I'll sometimes
rib with ya.

Sometimes, see, but yeah,
get one off at your expense.

All right. Let's roll.
Let's get out there.

Let's do it to them
before they do it to us.

Don't let's
lay no eggs out there.

So, what do you like,
larry?

- That's fine.
- No, he likes lawrence.

Hey, just asking the guy
his preference.

And, uh, you must be randy.

Just randy or pumper.

Yeah.

Can you believe it?
Guy threatens to k*ll my kids,

r*pes my ex-wife,
and then he gets bail

He can make out
of pocket change.

That's because...

He was charged
only on old warrants.

- How do you know?
- A.d.a. Phoned from
night court.

He decided to drop the new
charges in order to avoid

A counter-charge
of police brutality

Which he wasn't sure
he could b*at.

It seems that fitzsimmons
had to be treated

At mercy hospital
before he could be arraigned.

The resident concluded
he'd been beaten

Because he was
passing blood.

The guy resisted.

Look, frank, I'm sorry.

I was wrong. I lost it.

When you asked
for the day yesterday,

I presumed it was
to spend time with rachel.

I didn't think you'd be
out on a vigilante mission.

I said I was sorry. I told you
yesterday I was having

- A small problem.
- That's not a small problem.

I won't have it.

I know.

Henry.

Henry, I really gotta
thank you, buddy.

- How's that, j.d.?
- 'Cause you're a stand-up guy.

A man of conviction.

- What're you talking about?

I'm batting around .025

Picking this broad up
the other night in mulligan's,

Until I find out
she's a heavyweight

Anti-capital-punishment nut.

The kid tells her he's you.

He shows her our name
in that newspaper ad.

And an hour later,
we're in her ballpark.

And larue is doing
his famous home run trot.

I'm really happy for you.

Damn. Henry?

Cathleen.
Hey! My wallet.

You know, I just realized
I lost this.

You're really sweet
to bring it up.

Not at all, henry.

Oh, hey. I bet you noticed
some of my fake i.d.

- You mean for john larue.
- Yeah, that's right.

Yeah, like
late payment warnings.

- Disconnected--
- yeah, well, you know, this was

- For this undercover--
- no sale, creep.

Whoa. Okay, ma'am.

That's it. That's quits.

You get your hands off me.

Right. You got it.

Never touched her.

[Radio]
we have a 9-11.

Armed robbery in progress.

See surplus store.

Corner people's drive.

124Th street.

Hey-hey, taxi?

You know what this
company's motto oughta be?

- What?
- The left hand don't know

What the right hand's doing.

They send three week's worth
of promotion material

In pumping up
breakfast tray.

They promise
an uncle friar egg-man

Out in front of all
of uncle friar's out there.

Say, I don't have
an egg outfit, sir.

This is the only outfit
they gave me.

Look, I don't want a chicken

Out in front of my store
before 10:30 am.

People don't buy chicken
that early in the morning.

I got an idea, sir.

How about if I yell,

"The best eggs come from
the best chickens"?

No, really. I mean, I think

We can make
this outfit work.

Yeah, well, that might
be a way to go.

All right, good, good.

Where would you
like me to stand?

I want you to walk
back and forth

In front of the store.

Who the hell is this guy?

A jerk.

He works this corner over here.
Just ignore him.

He's early.
All right, buddy.

Go ahead, b*at it. Go on.

Okay, you get
ten minutes off every hour.

40% Discount,
off on all food.

Now, I hope
you're not hungry.

Don't give me any trouble.
Do you understand that?

[Belker growls]

Good morning.

Madame.

This is a police report

Which you have
treated with such

Incendiary carelessness.

- I b*rned it.
- Mm-hmm.

I'm-- I'm sorry,
lieutenant.

But it-- it's mainly
on the border.

Well, this sort
of clerical incompetence

Is insupportable,
and I might add,

It is not the first time
that I have

Observed it in you.

Well, you smoke a pipe.

Rigorously reasoned

And it's only 9:20 am.

- What does that mean?
- That means

That smoking is not the issue

But rather your
porcine slovenness.

Porcine?

Pork.

No way.

No way do I take that!

Judas priest.
I consider myself

The offended party here.
Ms. Kimmel!

I intend to seek redress

Regarding
the repeated charring

Of my 914 salmons.

Forget it!

[Howard laughs]

Par for your course.

You're in the wrong
lavatory.

I said, you're in
the wrong lavatory.

Woman's barricading
herself.

Think we should take her
out of the game.

Seems premature.

Lieutenant. Homicide.

1437 Marshall.

[Wood creaks]

Cathleen, whatever
your name was,

Take poison and die.

Oh man, never learn.

Thanks, man. Thanks a lot.

I got the incident report
right here for you, fellas.

Yeah, we'll take over
from here. Thanks.

Look at that.
Now, isn't that a shame?

They broke in
in broad daylight.

They took my radio
and my tape deck.

That's why I tell you
to park in the underground,

Ms. Reynolds.

I do volunteer work
here at the hospital.

Yeah? Good for you.

Uh, really. Thanks for
your help, sport.

But we'll carry the ball
from here.

Oh, I'd be happy to stay here
with you, ma'am.

Yeah, but then
you'd miss your appointment

At the hearing clinic.

Hey, stuff happened
on the city street, my man.

Let the public servants
do our job, okay?

You can go through
your report with me.

How you doin'?

All right, I guess.
I just feel so invaded.

Uh, have you got
a little time?

- What do you mean?
- Well, like, 30 or 45 minutes.

If we work up
a thorough theft report

And get the information
out fast,

Our chances of catching
whoever did this go way up.

Well, I'd be happy
to cooperate,

But I only caught
the barest glimpse of them.

Well, sometimes
that's enough.

Why don't you come
to the station house?

- All right.
- You want me to drive?

No, it isn't necessary.

Necessary
isn't where it's at.

I mean, would it help you?

Are you still feeling
a little shakey?

- Please.
- Uh, detective washington?

Uh, why don't you
follow us in her car?

Sure.

[Renko]
landlady called in
a domestic superbowl.

Sent me and the lieutenant
by here.

Anyway, we got here,
and she said

The fighting stopped about
an hour and a half ago.

Meantime, this little girl
is the victim's common-law.

[Henry sighs]

What'sa matter?

I was here yesterday.

Related incident.
Did you call s.i.d.?

Yeah, they're on the way.

I saw you before.

- Yes, ma'am.
- Looking for jimmy.

The guy we want's
james thomas fitzsimmons.

No aliases. I'm going
back to the station house.

Get it in order.

Could you run this
for s.i.d.?

Well, I thought you
arrested him. All kinds of

Warrants and charges
and everything.

I did.

Well then, what happened?
For god's sake!

[Randy whistles]

Hey, uh, randy, could you
put your foot down?

- Sure. Sorry.
- No problem.

I gotta tell you, joe,
this is a little bit

Like disneyland for me.

- How's that?
- Riding with you.

Oh yeah?

You got
a great reputation, man.

Hey man, I'm just--
I'm just a speed cop.

Come on. Everyone says
you're the ace skirt man

Of the department.

Hey, you're doing that
with your foot again.

Sorry.

Hey, listen, joe. You know,
we're having kind of

A rookie thing in the back room
of the kubiak tonight.

Rookies from the hill,
polk avenue. The heights.

- Oh yeah?
- Yeah.

If you happen to be
out in front,

You might be in the position
for a little

Prime gonzola.

If you don't mind
working with a pro.

Yeah, I'll pass.

Okay. Just thought
I'd let you know.

Hey, look, do me a favor.
Don't do that

Where you make your finger
like it's a g*n, all right?

- I don't like that.
- Okay.

[Radio]
unit 2203, respond.

Yeah, 2203.

2203, Backup
in street disturbance.

Marion and decker,
do you copy?

Yeah, 2203 responding.

You want the... On?

[People scream]

Ma'am? See? He's crazy!

You-- you crazy!

You gonna cut me off
no more, are ya?

You're going to jail, man.
Going right to jail.

Man, get him out of here.

He's gonna
k*ll somebody, man.

Hey, whatcha guys
gonna do when this guy...

[Sirens blare]

Dude's crazy, man!

Man, get him outta here!

[People shout]

You'd better cool it, man!

What's the sh*t?

Man come out
with that tire iron

Like a crazy man!

Hey, is he the driver?

You just gonna stand there
with your thumbs up or what?

I told you
to be quiet, sir.

I tried to talk
this clown down,

But the kid is scared.

Hey! Easy, man.

If he's dusted,
you'll flip him.

Just take it easy.

Nah, you take it easy. That man
gave me an obscene finger.

Hey, what's your name?

- Rufus.
- Rufus.

Hey, look, rufus. We don't
want anymore damage, all right?

I'm not looking for damage,

But don't try
to come over me, man.

- Don't come wrong.
- Hey, I'm with you.

All right,
just take it real easy.

What do you say you just
put that tire iron down, huh?

That man came in my lane.

But I'm gonna
put it down okay.

- All right, spread em.
- Ow!

[All shout]

Hey man, just--

Ow!

[Rufus screams]

Cuff him! That's it!
Just cuff him!

Get off!

Read him his rights?

- Calm down, rufus.
- Shut up!

You have the right
to remain silent.

[Siren blares]

I was going out
with this guy for a while.

- Yeah? Did you like him?
- More than a little.

But he stopped calling.

He's crazy.

Eh, just particular.

Harry?

If you liked a woman,

But there was
something maybe

You didn't like
so much about her,

I mean physically,

Could you still enjoy her?

Well, what're we
talking here, pats?

Are we talking
a big mole with hair

Sticking out of it or what?

No, harry, we're not
talking about

A big mole with a hair
sticking out of it.

Well, what then?

Well.

What about breasts?

Breasts?

Do you think I should
get my attic insulated?

Pats, are we
talking falsies?

No, we're talking implants.

You?

Eh, well, pats,
you're talking to a leg man.

Seriously.

Maybe I'd feel
better about myself.

Really? Seriously?

I mean, from a man's
point of view,

Would a woman
with breast implants

Be a plus or a minus?

Well, pats,
this is a judgment call.

And nobody with
your best interest at heart

Is gonna make that call,
sight unseen.

Great, harry.

Am I your best sh*t
this way?

I'm just trying
to be objective.

'Cause if I am,
you're out of luck.

These are not
in your future.

Fine. Pass up expert advice.

- I will. Thank you.
- Fine.

Hey.

Uh, excuse me, sir.

What? I'm busy.

Police! Halt!

Look, I hate getting
out of breath, chump.

Hey, I didn't
do nothing wrong.

Yeah, right. Theft and service.
Cable fraud.

Hey, write me a ticket.

Uh-uh, buddy.
We're taking you in.

- Ah, man.
- You have the right

To remain silent.
If you give up the right...

I understand fitzsimmons
common-law was m*rder*d.

We got blood samples.
Fibers. Clothes.

I'm asking
for priority s.i.d.

You can't have the case,
henry. I'm sorry.

Frank. I know the arguments,
believe me.

I'm aware.

I just don't want that animal
out there anymore.

Oh, and we do?

He r*pes your wife,
murders his girlfriend,

And we wanna see him
get through medical school?

Give your notes to neal.

Even if I hadn't hit him,
he'd still be in?

Frankly, yes.

Any developments
on fitzsimmons?

Yeah, I got a snitch
who knows the dude.

Waiting for his call.

- Keep me current?
- Deal.

Detective, I have to go.
I'm sorry.

I've got some appointments,
but I'll be happy

To cooperate any way I can.

Thank you very much.

Uh, yeah, look, hey?

Maybe I could...

Drop that by later.
You know, eyeball

Some more mug sh*ts.

Uh, well...

You couldn't bring them
to my place, could you?

Yeah.

Yeah, that can be arranged.

Free?

Free.

[Lucy]
what do you got?

Disorderly conduct.

I just told the man,
"don't come wrong."

The next thing I know,
they're throwing me

- On the ground.
- Rufus, pipe down.
- Easy, man.

How'd you like
to plead her down?

What'd you say, buttman?

- Nothing, sarge.
- Come on, let's go.

Hey, what're you
looking at him for

When I'm talking to you?

What is this?
Pre-menstrual or something?

...you clubber, slugger.
Whatever you think you are.

Come on, right now.
Badges off. Outside.

You and me.
Come on! Come on!

Walk away, buttman.

Sergeant bates.
Sergeant bates.

- What?
- Let's have a little
consultation.

I'm talking to
this jerk right now.

So talk to me now.
Jerk number two.

Come on.

Captain, we got an installer

Who wants to roll
on his client list.

You know, the people
that're getting hooked up.

Call the d.a.'S office.

Anything they wanna do.

Got some real
heavy dudes, man.

You bust these people,
you get on the news.

I don't have to be
handled, okay?

I couldn't
agree with you more.

It just burns me that
he had to make that reference.

Plus the lack of respect.

I mean, I say to the kid
to do something.

Right? I'm the sergeant.

And he looks to coffey
to see if he has to.

So you know what I'd tell you
about that, bates?

- Sergeant to sergeant?
- What?

The world is full
of a number of swine.

And does that mean?

Think about it.

On this matter of respect,
sergeant.

You wouldn't have been having
a little hard time

With me personally since
I come up here, would you?

Why is that?

Just seems on
certain occasions,

I'll say "x,"
you'll say "y."

And what are you
referring to?

For instance,
this a.m. Turnout.

I say that bates
rides with buttman,

Swan with coffey.
You say no.

Bates gets swan. So okay.

No arguments from starch.

But if you got
a bigger problem, sergeant.

Yeah, well, I don't like

Your attitude towards women.

Referencing the fact that,
in self-defense,

I gave lieutenant
vera horvath a sh*t.

That's what I like.

That's what I like,
sergeant.

Two seconds ago, you were
about to duke it out with a guy.

What about the guy?

If you'd gone,
what's he supposed to do?

Keep his hands
tied up like this?

- Of course not.
- There. Good.

- You said it.
- Hey, sarge.

What?

Guys are using
the ladies room, sarge.

That's it.

That's it?
Rhonda kimmel. That's it.

See?

We're both sergeants.

We gotta be fair
with each other.

This is henry
to rachel's answering machine.

Uh...

Rache, the guy who r*ped you
made bail last night.

His girlfriend's dead
this morning.

Nice going. I guess that's
some kind of civics lesson.

Okay, ms. Kimmel.

This is what you're
forcing me to do here.

- [Kimmel] what?
- What?

What do you think?

A man's got functions,
ms. Kimmel.

Believe me, ms. Kimmel.
This embarrasses me

As much as it
embarrasses you.

Uh, stan--

Go ahead. Urinate.

Ah...

This woman's got
a lot of stones, captain.

Pardon the metaphor.

Rhonda. Just
listen to me now--

Tell the woman
anything, right?

Tell her she's beautiful.
Tell her she's 25 years old.

- Rhonda--
- I don't have a slim waist.

Do you think
I don't know that?

Frank?

What?

I just thought
maybe I could help.

Absolutely not.

You're not a cop.
This isn't any of your business.

Okay. Okay.

You know, there are no urinals
in this men's room.

[Rhonda]
who's that? The victim lady?

Yes, it is!

Well, I'm a victim!

Well, don't look at me
like I'm a co-conspirator

Or something.
I just happened to spend

Spend ten minutes talking
with her this morning.

Can any of the rest of you
say that?

[Rhonda]
I wanna talk
to the victim lady.

Alone.

Come on, is that possible?

I mean, you all have
better things to do, don't you?

Okay, but make sure
she understands,

If she comes out now,
we can still

Forgive and forget.

Rhonda?

Free soft drink
with this coupon.

Oh boy.

And a coupon
for a free drink.

[Belker growls]

Hey-- get away from here!

All of you!

Great. Great.
Some lure I got here.

Hey, the guy
was in my way.

Let me ask you something.
Whose relative are you?

What?

You gotta be
somebody's relative.

Since you've been here,
I've had the worst hour

Of customer traffic
in my history.

- You kneecapped two kids.
- They were pulling
my feathers--

You growl off workmen
coming in for coffee.

And when I call downtown to
speak to uncle friar personally,

Begging him, "let me fire
this nut before I go broke,"

- He says, "no."
- Listen to me, mister--

No, you listen to me,
mister.

From now on, no more talk.

No growling. Just this.

Buk buk-buk-buk-buk!...

Hey, stop him!
Stop him! Robber!

Hey, somebody call the cops!

I am a cop!

You have a choice, armpit.

I can either bust you,

Or I can k*ll you!

Yeah. Right.
See if I can. Thanks.

- What you got?
- Wait for the captain.

Got a tip on
fitzsimmons, captain.

He's checked into a boarding
house on 117th street.

- Arrest warrants.
- Just calling for it.

Press call, line four.

Washington.

Furillo?

I don't like it
either, chief.

Sit.

Name.

Name, hairball,
or I'll rip your lungs out

Through your nose.

Oh. Are you deaf?

He's not deaf.
He wants a lawyer.

[Mime giggles]

[Belker growls]

Ready?

Yeah. One second, let me...

Finish.

Done.

- You got a minute?
- Sure. What's up?

Well...

Hey, I just thought
I'd ask you--

I mean, you seemed a little
nervous out there this morning.

W-- w-- well,
what do you mean?

You know, the cuffs and...

You feel better now?

Larry. Maybe
I'm way out of line,

But you gotta tell me,
I mean.

Can I ask you about
your stammer?

It-- it's a lot

Better than it used to be.

But you're seeing
a therapist.

I used to.

B-- but it only
comes out now

Under stress.

And this is stress.

It's only because
you brought it up.

Why? Do you think
I'm not ready to be a cop?

The academy passed me.

They thought it was okay.

Yeah, well. We're gonna
be late for court.

And probably none
of my business anyway.

Hey, I'm--

I'm glad I pulled the hill.

G-- gives me a chance
to work this thing out.

Captain, d. A. Says
make the deal with

The cable installer. Investigate
the names he gives us.

Do you want it?

Yeah, mr. Cornell gave us
this three-page list,

And there's one
particular name here.

You're kidding.

Cornell's a b & e guy.
He knows a lot of lawyers.

Harry.

We have
a theft-of-service suspect

I'd like you to bring in.

Bingo. Well,
there's a bingo.

Feeling better now, are we?

Yeah. She's okay. Frank?

All she wants is just
once in a while, y'know,

Somebody of rank to say
"good morning" to her.

Or-- or to ask her
about her work

Without criticizing it.
You know, that's all she wants.

Warrant for fitzsimmons,
captain.

Excuse me there, snoopy.

Um, I accept your apology,
lieutenant.

Rhonda.

You know,
they're very busy men.

You can't run an undercover

With guys clowning around
like that.

Are the defendant's
assertions true?

Your honor, he was
obstructing all morning.

By which you mean he was

Expressing himself
artistically.

- No, I mean he was a hump.
- No-no-no-no.

You're the hump, detective.

What? Now, what the hell
does that mean?

You arrest a man

Because you tripped over him

Or because you didn't
like his face?

You vent your rage at him
because you

Have to wear a chicken suit.

And you clog the courts
with this garbage.

Now I'd say that makes you
"hump of the day," detective.

[Belker growls]

You're on the verge
of contempt.

No, you're a joke.

I cite you, detective.

Give him ten minutes
to put a muzzle on.

A street artiste.

Well, I think that's sweet.

...smith.

Busted again, huh, man?

What you got, blood?

Little reefer.
Be walking around.

Remember that thing I was
talking to you about?

- What thing?
- That thing with curtis?

- The dude you offed?
- Yeah, the dude I offed.

What'd I say? I want you
to shut up about that name

And just listen.
I'm telling you.

The piece is under my bed.

What you want from me?

I want you to lose it.

P. D. Say I get 20 days.

So lose it, understand,
brother man?

Okay. You got it.

Rufus gordon.

[Man]
I was here before he was.

[Man 2]
hey, man, what about us?

Tell the judge
I gotta get out of here.

Now.

More garbage.
Does this department

Ever nab a serious felon?

Your honor. Excuse me.
Could I step up?

As long as you don't
lift a leg.

[Judge laughs]

Your honor,
this dirtbag here, gordon?

Just confessed to a m*rder

Back in the holding pen.

Recess and I'll
swear to complaint.

- This guy right here?
- Yeah.

That's not bad.

Recess. 15 Minutes.

Belker.

Sorry about our tiff before.

Let's ask ourselves,
detective.

Could it have been some weird
prescience on my part

That turned us up a biggie?

- Excuse me, ms. Davenport.
- Yes, detective.

Eh, don't k*ll the messenger,
okay, but I have

A warrant here
for you for, uh,

Theft of services.

- What is this?
- Look, as soon as

The arraignment's done,
would you come back with me

To hill street?

Is this some kind of joke?

No, ma'am, it's
captain furillo's orders.

He said as soon as
your cases were done,

I should bring you back.

Hold it, man!

[Fitzsimmons screams]

[Fitzsimmons screams]

Hey, stupid, huh?

You forgot to get rid of this,
didn't you, fitzsimmons?

- Come on, man,
what're you doing?
- You're under arrest now

For the m*rder
of martha stanley.

Now read him his rights--
shut up!

You have the right
to remain silent--

- [Fitzsimmons mumbles]
- if you give up that right,

It can and will
be held against you

In a court of law.

Get him up.

--Leave me alone!

Hey, move him out.

- Hi.
- Hey.

You get the grateful
bladder award.

Excuse me-- thanks, leo.

Getting rhonda kimmel
out of the john.

Well, I am
the victims' aide, henry.

- Rachel.
- Hi.

- Mrs. Goldblume.
- Mrs. Furillo.

What's in a name, right?

Excuse us a minute,

You have a hell of a nerve
leaving that message

- On my machine.
- A woman is dead--

[Fitzsimmons shouts]

What about if your son
had come home from school

And clicked on that machine
before I did?

Rachel. Rachel, look at me.

Rachel. Rachel!

He looked right at me.

He didn't even know
who I was.

Okay, okay.

- Leo.
- Bastard.

- Put him in
an interrogation room.
- Sorry, lieutenant.

Come on.

You okay?

Listen.

I know it's too late, but...

If signing a complaint
will keep him off the street.

That's not necessary.

We should have him cold
on m*rder.

I feel responsible.

I never felt more rotten
in my life.

What good is that gonna do?

I let him k*ll someone.

You said that was
gonna happen,

- And that's what happened.
- Listen.

The guy walked this morning
mostly 'cause of

How I arrested him.

You were att*cked.

What you did afterward
was trying to protect

Yourself and our kids.

Please forgive yourself.

And forgive me for making that
harder for you.

Now, go on.
Why don't you go home?

There's nothing for you
to do here.

Go on. I'll try
to see the kids later.

They were counting on it.

Six o'clock.

I'm gonna try.

[Doorbell rings]

Thanks.

Hi.

Oh, hi.

Hi, i-- uh.

I, uh, brought the photos.

Please.

Thank you.

Ooh.

This is really great of you.

What?

Oh, you mean,
to, uh, come over.

To give it
so much attention.

Let's face it.
I do have insurance.

Hey, insurance doesn't
cover the time you're out.

No. You're right.

Insurance doesn't cover
the sense of violation, either.

That's true.

Thank you.

Hmm.

You, uh, see anybody?

Oh gosh, he was
pretty far away.

I don't think
I could recognize

Anything off of a photo.

Sorry.

Hey...

Just keep trying.

Could we keep trying
over dinner?

Dinner-- dinner,
yeah. Sure. Dinner.

You wanted to see me,
captain?

Yeah. Come on in.

Close the door, would you?

Word gets out fast,
officer buttman.

About what, sir?

About how many feathers
you managed to ruffle

Your first day on the job.

I was just trying
to fit in, captain.

You know, someday you might
need one of those uniforms

To save your life.

Might be wise to stay
on their good side.

I guess, until people
get to know me,

They don't always appreciate
my sense of humor.

When I was a rookie,

We always figured
the best way to fit in

Was to keep our mouths shut
and do our jobs.

Well. Maybe I oughta be fitted
for a muzzle or something.

Might be a good idea,
starting right now.

Unless you have something clever
to say to that, too.

Can't think of a thing,
captain.

That's a "b."
The best answer is "no, sir."

Yes, sir.

Captain, the aforementioned
suspect's in interrogation

- Anytime you're ready.
- Thanks, harry.

30 Seconds for me, frank?

Yeah. 30 Seconds.

I want you to know
I know there was more

To your conversation with
the assistant d.a. This morning.

What do you mean?

I mean I know
he must've recommended

An i.a.d. Inquiry into
my arrest of fitzsimmons.

You must've
asked him to pass.

Well, if that's true, henry,
I must've thought

You deserved it.

I mean, the books
in your account

Didn't just open
this morning.

I want you to know, first,
I'm grateful.

There's no need
for gratitude.

And, also, I'm gonna
take a little time off.

I got some coming,
I think I oughta take it.

If I can have next week, maybe
I can be of some help to rachel.

Don't. Frank, really,

I just wanted to tell you.

I've been cruel
these last couple of days.

Ah, not these last
couple of days.

I'm gonna take this time,
try to figure out

What the hell happened.

Next week's fine.

- Keep you posted.
- Keep me posted.

Uh, detective, has ms. Davenport
been mirandized?

Yes, sir.

- Thank you.
- Oh.

I think I'll leave you alone
with the suspect now, sir.

I can't believe
that little creep.

You know, he approached me.

He was somebody's client.

He offered to hook
the damn thing up.

Well, counselor,
we're talking

Class-b misdemeanor here.

Frank. A joke's a joke.

Instructions from
the d.a.'S office are

Go for a conviction
wherever possible.

Gari-- you know garibaldi

Didn't read me my rights.

Do you have any witnesses?

Maybe you and I could
cut some sort of deal.

I'm a realist.

I know our judiciary's

Strained to the limits.

Is that a yes?

What've you got?

It's... Mostly
in a personal area.

Be specific.

Resumption
of conjugal relations.

Where?

At home. In bed.

I want a new address.

What's wrong
with the old address?

It was yours.
I want one that's ours.

You're a tough cop, furillo.

And it's understood

That if the charges
are dropped,

You will terminate
illegal cable hookup

And make restitution.

- Okay.
- Also.

That this arrangement
was not coerced in any way.

Yes to all of it.

[Davenport laughs]

These past four months,
I've missed you.

I had to find that out.

Come home, pizza man.

This is, uh,
not the kind of place

A guy like me
usually gets to.

And you're not
the kind of woman

A guy like me
usually attracts.

What kind of guy is that?

You know.

Cop.

Well, this woman's
attracted.

I gotta tell you
something, caroline.

Being a cop, it makes you
kind of cynical.

You see so much
that's ugly in people.

I guess what
I'm trying to say is--

I've had my share
of problems

Relating to women
in the past.

But I get a rush off of you
I haven't felt for a long time.

- John?
- Yeah?

Do you want to
take me home now?

Do i.

Uh, here. Here, use this.

- Hey. No, hey.
- Hey. Hey.

I invited you.

Sergeant wants to re-enlist
there, alfonso.

...let me down!

[Lois mutters]

You folks meet
my fiancee, lois?

Get out of here, buttman.

Sorry. We were
just looking for the, uh,

Lavatory facilities.

It's around the side,
right over there.

Around the side, over there.

You ever tried it
around the side, lois?

Stop being such a jerk.

Excuse the interruption.

- Sub-human.
- Take it easy, luce.

You take it easy.
I'll see you later.

See you later, luce.

You know, this kid
is really a bad egg.

He's a wrong number.

You know
I'm no prude, fellas.

But when they work
the back room, you're supposed

To stay in the back room.
That's a private gathering.

- It's none of my concern.
- Sorry, al.

This here, I jeopardize
my license and everything else.

Hey, we'll
take care of it, al.

Hey, no one's
more grateful than me.

You people
are half my racket.

Yeah?

Hey, brother.
What's happening?

Things have gotten a little
out of hand back here, randy.

Oh, yeah, man.
I gave the bartender some lip

When he brought
the last round.

Listen, i--
tighten him up for me,

Would you fellas?
Tell him I'm sorry.

Hey, put the money away,
buttman.

It's over, man.

Hey, guys.

The rookies are running
this room for the evening.

- This is a private party--
- not anymore.

Hey, man. To hell
with the bartender.

What, you guys aren't
interested in seconds?

To hell with you, too--

- Hey! Take it easy!
- Get it through you, sucker!

Now you shut it down.
You hear me?

- Okay.
- You got five minutes, boy.

- Okay.
- And you leave
by the back way.

We don't wanna see
any of it, you got it?

I got it.

L-- l-- let me go.

Are you s-- s-- sure, larry?

We still got five minutes.

[Sirens blare]

Pats?

Look, uh,

I found this in the dumpster
down the alley.

There's no cash.
There's no credit--

- Wait, don't smudge it.
- I won't.

Warren g. Reynolds.

[Phone rings]

Hello?

Yes, this is she.

Oh my god.

Yes.

Of course, I'll be over
right away.

Thank you.

What's the matter?

I, uh...

Just got some horrible news.

My husband's been m*rder*d.

In the horrible news
category,

I didn't know
you had a husband.

I'm nervous.

- Why?
- I don't know.

It's been a long time.

It's like riding a bike.

Just climb on
and start pedaling.

[Davenport laughs]

Thanks for waiting,
pizza man.

Thanks for being so patient.

Patience's just run out.

I'd call that
perfect timing.
