Gina doesn't want me,
henry doesn't want you.

We're leftovers.

I happen to be
in love with gina, fay.

Love? Is that what they're
calling it these days, henry?

I haven't had time to do

A whole lot in the way
of decorating yet.

That's perfectly understandable.

--Get behind my funding request
for the s.e.v.m. Prototype.

Now, that's the strategic
entry vehicle modification.

Yeah, I know about it and
I don't us behind it, howard.

I don't want us
anywhere near it.

[Rumbling and clanking]

[Man]
mick?

[Men shouting]

[Man on loudspeaker]
this is the police!

We're the police!

What I'd like to do is suggest
we all go out to dinner tonight.

Are you nuts?

Well, I know
why you didn't like me.

Why, because you're young
and beautiful and rich?

- Oh, hey!
- Watch it!

[g*nsh*t]

[People screaming]

[Chatter]

Item 11.

Starting today,
I'm asking all sector c patrols

To include the lots next to the
case and western freight yards
on their pass-by.

Seems we got
a hooverville all of our own
springing up over there.

People living in storage cases,
boxes, all kinds of things.

Also, we're getting
incident reports from
the neighborhood merchants.

So that's continuing until
otherwise notified, okay?

All sector c patrols.

Item 12--
undercovers.

Detective belker is at al's
three-hour french cleaners
and tailor's over on rosemont,

Which we pegged for moving
warm and counterfeit-labeled
garments.

Also detectives mayo
and garibaldi continue
prep on operation salsa--

False documentation sales
to aliens.

Item 13 is an "attaboy"
to sergeant lucille bates,

Who spotted famed purse snatcher
virgil "roadrunner" lansen.

Four storefronts, she still b*at
him to the stinson overpass.

[Cheering and applause]

The only-- the only casualty
of this collar being that
the sarge turned her ankle.

[Group]
aww...

So because of her
temporary layup,

Jablonski is
coming out of mothballs.

[Man]
what?

Yeah, sergeant bates is gonna be
running the squad room today

And yours truly is
gonna be riding with joe coffey.

[Laughter]

[Jablonski]
hey, they recommissioned
the new jersey, didn't they?

Yeah, and it sank!

[Laughter]

Item 14.

Lieutenants calletano
and hunter take their
captaincy exams today.

I know that we all
wish them well.

And item 15 is a welcome to
detective phil dugan over there,

Center, back of the room.

Now, detective dugan
is a transfer from midtown.

He's gonna be working warrants
with larue and washington

Until we can make
a permanent pairing.

Welcome to the hill, detective!

Okay, that's it,
let's get out there--

- Excuse me, sergeant.
- What?

Can we hold it
a moment, please?

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Uh-- this is from division.

"In accordance with the terms of
the p.b.a. Contract agreement,

"The shift of this precinct
has been selected at random
for drug toxicity testing.

"Please make
urine samples available
to the medical technicians

Who are stationed upstairs
for collection and analysis."

Okay, that's it.

Let's go upstairs.

Let's-- let's urinate.

Let's, uh--
let's have a good shift.

[Chatter and laughter]

[Phones ringing]

You know why
I didn't call, pats?

'Cause you're a bum.

'Cause I'm a bum.

You know it's
"eat with a bum" week?

I don't think so.

Come on, forgive me,
you'll be a better person.

Ah, see?
You're feeling better!

You're letting it go.

[Renko]
"--will submit to testing for
controlled or illegal substances

As deemed appropriate
by command."

[Hunter]
have asparagus
last night, raymundo?

[Garibaldi]
let me see that,
let me take a look at that.

- Fill and cap this
and return it to me.
- Just peachy.

They're saying
that they don't need cause--

They can just ask us
out of thin air.

I always thought
"deemed appropriate action"

Was when you come in
with your eyeballs swimming
around in your head like this.

I'm gonna talk
to my law professor.

I don't think they can do this.

Jablonski, s.

Let's hit the street, joseph.

Right away, sarge.

Fill and cap this
and return it to me.

Listen, you think you could
red-light the guys behind me
till I come out?

Excuse me?

Larue, j.

[Technician]
I don't follow you.

Come on, joe,
let's not make it

More of a production
than it already is.

You know something, detective
torriello, I think you're lying.

I think you've got
more than you're telling me.

I think if you don't have more
after three weeks,

You're a lousy excuse for a cop.

- Henry.

- Right with you.
- Now.

Listen, I want you to call me
this afternoon, detective.

Not if you get anything.

I want you to call me
either way.

- What?
- You're gonna have to stop
harassing midtown.

It's like the m*rder
never happened.

Gina's dead three weeks,

I don't even know where they're
taking the investigation.

That's policy and you know it.

Look, I know you're hurting--

Save the goo--
am I doing my job?

- That's not the point.
- It's the only point
you get to make, frank.

I'm doing my job, you leave
the rest of it the hell alone.

[Door rumbles open]

[Dispatcher]

fill to the line and cap it.

Bates, lucille.

Sarge, how come you're not
outta here on the street yet?

Ah, joe's having trouble
relieving himself.

He's loading up the t*nk.

Howard-- howard,
whatever our differences,

I wish you only good luck
in the interview.

Well, buena suerte
back to you, raymundo.

These are as many
of the questions

As I could remember
from earlier interviews.

Just take a look at them.

This goes back
to the carter administration.

I just got off the phone
with my law professor

And he says
this urinalysis thing

Is in violation of our
fifth amendment rights.

The agreement to test
is in the p.b.a. Contract.

What, meaning a cop
is not a citizen,

A cop has less rights
than a citizen?

Come on, captain.

--If cops are using,
command ought to know about it.

Okay, but they can't just come
in here at any time they want--

You're barking
up the wrong tree, harry.

Oh, that's great.

Welcome to russia.

Think we can move
joe biomonte's warrant

To the head
of the class, fellas?

Case comes up
at the grand jury tomorrow.

Hey, look, we've been trying
biomonte for six weeks now,

And the guy, he knows he's hot--
he's hiding.

Simple, friendly inquiry,
detective.

Everyone give?

Cup and a half.

Waiting for the line
to shorten up.

What'd your teacher say, harry?

That's it probably illegal.

Furillo isn't interested.

I gotta make a phone call.

- Neal, you okay?
- Yeah.

Isn't this lame,
doesn't this stink?

You know
what we oughta do, j.d.?

We oughta play a joke on 'em
and mix up our whiz.

Party down a little heavy
last night, harry?

Great timing.

[Man]
bochco, s.

I'm with
the hippie-dip stewardess,

I take three tokes of reefer.

Is there any way
you can help me out, j.d.?

What's the matter?

We're gonna have to bring in
henry goldblume from the cold

On the srignoli k*lling
pretty soon, owen.

He's a loose cannon.

Then tell him that.

Tell him there's been progress

But he hasn't been cleared
for the particulars.

And have him
go totally renegade?

Frank, we know he's running
a separate investigation
right now.

Then how much longer?

We're still working on some of
the things this button guy--

How long, irwin?

I don't know.

It goes a lot of places.

I saw phil dugan's
on the transfer list.

What about him?

His name came up
in the keenan investigation.

It didn't go anywhere.

Came up how?

Ah, keenan was dugan's rabbi.

It didn't go anyplace.

I know henry's your friend.

I know what it must feel like
stonewalling.

When it's over, I'll run it for
him myself, chapter and verse.

I got your sample, detective.

There's going
and there's going.

I gotta make number two.

Yeah, what do we do
with this thing?

Fill it to the line,
seal it and return it to me.

Okay, gotcha.

[Sighs]

Hey, joe.

You believe this?

This is so humiliating.

J.d.?

Standing by.

Coming over.

Any progress?

Sarge, I think it's coming,
any second now.

[Garibaldi whispering]
j.d., J.d.

What's going on over there?

Nothing, sarge,
j.d. Just forgot his bottle.

J.d. Was in here before,
he went with me.

What are you two doing?

We figured we'd play
a little joke on 'em, sarge.

Larue!

Sarge?

Gimme that container.

Out.

Over there.

Go.

You too.

[Garibaldi unzips]

[Coffey sighs]

Lieutenant, would you say
that you were the guiding force

Behind fielding that battering
ram for use in drug arrests?

[Laughs nervously]

Well, I weren't agin' it.

Well, chief daniels
weren't agin' it either.

Oh, I call
chief daniels' support
farsighted and paramount.

Uh, how'd your captain
feel about it?

Well, captain furillo
was not a fan

Of this particular acquisition.

Pull a little end run around
captain furillo, lieutenant?

Well, I don't know
if I'd call it an end run.

He didn't want it,
you knew you were right,

Showed a little initiative,
went right to the chief.

Well, gentlemen,
I take a back seat to no one

In my personal and professional
admiration of captain furillo.

I think if the captain
has a single blind spot
in his professional outlook,

It may be in staying
absolutely current on hardware.

I'm proud to say that in that
area-- I am the captain's eyes.

Oh, I didn't mean
to hog, fellas.

Oh, I think I've got enough.

That's it?

Thank you, lieutenant.

It's my pleasure, gentlemen.

How did it go, howard?

Aced it.

Lieutenant calletano?

Ah, lieutenant, come on in,
have a seat.

You know captain leder,
captain wilson.

How do you do?
How do you do?

Would you like some water?

Uh, thank you, no.

I have an opening statement
I would like to make.

[Calletano clears throat]

I want this job very much.

Is it better if I don't read
an opening statement?

It's a bit unusual, lieutenant,
but, um, that's your choice.

It's all right.

No.

Please begin
with the questions.

Thank you, I think I will.

[Glass clatters, water spills]

Oh, I'm sorry,
I'm terribly sorry.

That's all right, lieutenant.

It's all right, it missed me,
don't worry.

Lieutenant,
sit down and relax, okay?

[Patting handkerchief on desk
to soak up water]

[Squeezing it out,
water splattering]

[Siren wailing]

Tie up my telephone, I let you
use my toilet all the time.

At the end of my busy night
I gotta bag my garbage up
at 7:00 in the morning!

Here, here comes the cops now.

You tell your buddies in
boxtown that you messed with--

Police officers!
Put the g*n down!

- Here.
- Put it down!

Yeah, you're gonna get sh*t
or busted.

All right, let him alone,
let him alone!

He robbed me!
He stole my papers!

All right, you got a permit
for this thing? Give it out.

Yeah, I got a permit.

Hey, get the change off him!

Whatever change he's got
in his pocket is mine!

40 Cents and this is mine!

All right, just calm down.

I'm just checking for a w*apon.

I got 40 cents
from the aluminum!

If you're gonna take me in, at
least let me take it to my wife.

You better calm down.

Hey, she ain't got
no money, man!

She all by herself
and I got four little kids.

How many papers did he steal?

Ah, look at 'em,
he broke in there,

He took 'em all
before I got here--

How many papers did he steal?!

12, He got 12.

12, That's three dollars.

You wanna press charges
for three dollars?

Hell yes, man,
these people from boxville,

They been breaking in,
robbing the joint, everything.

Look, man, she by herself,
she ain't got no money.

All right, we'll just do it
as fast as we can.

Come along with me,
mr. Sodowski.

What, I gotta lose time now?

Yes, you do, and let me tell you
one more thing.

If you sh**t an individual on
a petty little crime like this,

There ain't no way the police
are gonna protect you.

You are gone!

Now come on!

I'm shy, okay?

I can't just go on command.

Ah, forget about it, joe.

People got their quirks.

Yeah, now everybody knows mine.

You know what I do?

I imagine a bowling ball
rolling down an alley.

Gets me started every time.

Educate me, joe.

Where are the action joints?

See the chicken and rib place?

- Yeah?
- Numbers.

They can carry on all they like
about dr*gs and prostitution.

I still say policy is
money-maker number one

Excuse me, uh,
are you mrs. Jackson?

[Train passing overhead,

Let me talk to 'em.

Jackson?

Mrs. Jackson?

You mrs. Jackson?

What happened to pablo?

Nothing happened, ma'am.

He didn't get hurt
or anything.

But he's under arrest
down at hill street.

What'd he do?

Well, ma'am, he's accused
of stealing some newspapers.

He asked us to come down
and tell you.

He said he'd try
to make it back tonight.

Will they let him go?

We don't know that yet, ma'am.

It depends whether they set
bail or not.

Ma'am, if he can't get out,

I think maybe
you should get the kids

And take 'em down
to the city shelter.

He didn't want--

[Train rumbling past]

He didn't want you down here
around by yourself.

No, no, no, no-- they'll take
my children from me.

They separate the family.

Ma'am, you don't seem
to understand.

Mr. Jackson
doesn't want you down--

We paid our rent
the first of every month

And we still got evicted.

The man we paid
didn't pay the landlord!

We ain't got no address,
we can't get no welfare check.

No check,
I can't get my man out.

Now, we ain't done
nothing wrong!

He ain't done nothing wrong!

This isn't right!

Come on-- come on, sweetie.

[Train horn honking]

[Bates]
ms. Davenport, I believe
these intake files are yours.

Hey, it's gotta be
your computers.

I'm telling you
I paid those tickets!

All right, so this is good then,
we'll straighten it out.

Leo, traffic warrants.

Let's take a sh*t
at this biomonte.

We took it--
the guy went underground, phil.

Then we'll blow some smoke
up his tunnel.

Uh, ms. Davenport.

Officers.

Have you gotten an intake yet
on a pablo jackson?

Second on my list.

Could you take a quick look

And see if they might release
on recognizance?

No address.

- See, ma'am, that's because--
- well, he doesn't have
a permanent address

'Cause he got evicted
and then the man they gave
the money to was a lessor

And he didn't turn it in, and
then they got cut off welfare

And now he's living out
in boxville by the tracks
with his wife and four children.

The theft is a small amount,
but without an address,

I think the probation department
will probably recommend bail

Instead of o.r. Release.

Can't save the world.

Sometimes you can't even
flag it down.

I'll push hard for the o.r.

Thanks, ma'am.

[Bates]
good job, sarge.

Well, look at this.

Sarge got himself
a great big perp.

I was just a spectator.

Malarkey-- he was great.

Hey, joe.

Psss...

That's not funny, renko.

What have you got, monty?

More goose eggs, lieutenant.

Nobody's got nothin'
on that hit.

Stay on it.

I'm telling you,
it was an outfit whack--

Outta-town talent.

Stay on it.

I feel bad taking your bread,
lieutenant.

Faye! What's this note?

"Does mrs. Furillo
want to reschedule?"

You canceled the appointment
with the hypnotist?

Hi, henry, and yes,
I canceled the appointment

That you made
without telling me.

Faye!

Henry, I am not
going under anymore.

It didn't work the first time.

I didn't come up with a single
thing about the sh**ting

That I hadn't
already remembered.

And once is your limit?

That's as far as you'll go
to find the guy

Who g*ns down a woman
at your dinner table.

Whether you realize it or not,

The sh**ting was
traumatic for me too.

I know how painful
this is for you.

But I think it's time
you asked yourself

Whether this one-man crusade
of yours wasn't getting
a little obsessive.

I've got too many
other questions to ask, faye.

Hi, harry.

Hi, mrs. Furillo.

"Mrs. Furillo?"

I mean, just because
we stopped dating,

It doesn't have to be
"mrs. Furillo".

I'm sorry, faye.

Whoa!

Would you watch
where you're going?

[Garibaldi]
all right, sorry.

[Dugan]
no, I'm not kidding.

Every year we draw four names
from the flight manifests
to las vegas.

Was your husband in vegas
the past 12 months,
mrs. Biomonte?

We draw the winners and we bring
them on our sister ships,

The shasta and the mckinley.

See, we want people
to find out for themselves

There's nothing
they can do in vegas

That they can't do
on our luxurious ships.

With their full casinos.

And plus, we got the ocean.

Ma'am, he won five grand and
a 21-day cruise, that's correct.

Could you put the lucky man on?

Are you kidding, mrs. Biomonte?

Geez-- no.

He's gotta come down
to our agency.

Our manager, mr. Furillo,
has gotta make the presentation.

[Larue chuckles]

Mrs. Biomonte, if your husband
doesn't call us back
within half an hour,

We've got to go
to our alternate name.

You think you could do that?

Hold on,
I'll give you our number.

We got a blind number?

Yeah.

Ma'am, it's jl5-4712.

Right.

Gotta be inside
half an hour, mrs. B.

Philip dugan, that's correct.

Attagirl.

Joe biomonte.

Wanna make the presentation,
captain?

Result? I bent over
to light her cigarette

And it sounded like a cannon
exploded behind me.

See, there's no material
left to let out,

So what I would do,
I would put a gusset in these

And buy a new pair
with a somewhat larger size.

Come here.

Yeah, but I'm gonna
lose weight.

Well, when you lose the weight,
you could take 'em in.

We got some lovely pants here.

They're nice-- contemporary.

Uh, gusset in the old pants,
new pants with alterations,
bada-bing, bada-bing--

I could let you have
the whole deal for 30 bucks.

Available when?

Well, I got your measurements, I
could have 'em for you tomorrow.

You got a deal.

Deal?
Satisfaction, mr. Simpson?

Very satisfied.

I'll see ya, mr. Berman.

See ya--

Ya blimp.

So what'd you sell him?

Uh, a gusset for his old pair
and the 48s off this rack.

A gusset?

Yeah, I thought I'd save him
a couple of bucks.

You want mr. Dirigible
to die a rich man, mike?

That's your life's ambition?

I just thought--

Or are you here to help berman
make a living?

No, I thought that--

If the man's a candidate
for several pairs of pants,

Several pairs of pants
is what we sell him!

My mistake.

Don't make any more,
mr. Gusset.

If you wanna do charity,
go work on a telethon.

Here we go for profit!

All right.

Here-- go get me a lamb kebab
at the greek's.

Lemon?

Yeah.

Oh, order from the old man.

Sometimes he forgets to collect.

Yes, sir.

[Horn honking]

[Jablonski]
I mean, if you mind--

I said I don't mind.

I, I get ants in my pants

Sarge, will you just drive?

Yeah.

Nice pep in these new units.

Yeah, they went back to the v8s.

Did you see that?

Did you see
what that guy just did?

Yeah.

Run the plates

Jerk's a menace.

You know, sarge,
we were kinda close there.

No offense, but did you ever
think of using your glasses
when you drive?

Just for reading-- why?

No reason.

Yeah, yrx247-- that's

in touch with him in time!

[Dugan]
wasn't that lucky?

You know, if your nephew
and mrs. B.

Wanna come to the presentation,
that's great, mr. Biomonte,

But I'm afraid they'll have to
take their own transportation.

She can take a cab,
but he goes everywhere with me.

Joseph!

Uh, the contest rules say
that a companion's ix-nay,

Don't they, mr. Dugan?

Limousine ride's
actually part of the prize.

Your nephew's not a prizewinner.

I'll follow
right behind you, joe.

Presentation ceremony, neal.

Yes, sir.

Look at that--
a colored driver.

[Man]
come on.

Just between us, fellas--

Is there any way I can take a,
uh, friend along on this cruise

Instead of the wife?

Let me be the heavy
with it, joe.

I'll tell her
the other ticket fell through.

Yeah, 'cause i-- two weeks
on a boat with that battle-axe,

I'm gonna get a heart att*ck,
you know.

Very doable.

So, you drew my name
off a vegas plane list, huh?

That was it, right.

Yeah, 'cause I'm not listed
anywhere, you know.

I'm not even
in the phone book.

It was either off a plane list
or a warrant.

What's that supposed to mean?

You're way too modest, joey.

You say
you're not listed anyplace.

Your name is on
five different wants.

Listen, I'm getting
a sick feeling.

It's a pop, joey.

Oh, you're kidding.

Would we kid you, joey?

You have the right
to remain silent.

Unbelievable.

If you give up that right,

Anything you say can
and will be used against you.

I'm sick.

Can I have a drink?

Pay attention to the man, joey.

He's telling you what you won.

You have the right
to speak with an attorney.

Your honor, mr. Jackson's
accused of stealing goods
worth three dollars

In order to buy necessities
for his family.

They're at the shantytown
by the freight yards?

The living situation
is precarious.

Mr. Jackson's family needs him.

I strongly urge
a recognizance release.

I'm looking
at the probations report
right here, miss davenport.

Specific recommendation
against recognizance

Because the man has no address.

It's because the man
has no address that he's here
in the first place, your honor.

The family was subletting, the
lessor absconded with the rent--

All right, how about
no time on a guilty plea?

He can't plead, your honor.

There's a matter
of an old parole situation.

Look, we can't turn ourselves
inside out on a single case.

$500, Cash or bond.

What is it, what's going on?

They're holding you over.

Oh, no, your honor, please!

My wife and my babies--
please, you gotta help me.

Now, they don't have nobody
out to take care of them.

Your honor, please!

Yes, I know
in order to do your job

You need a viable system
of distribution.

Why can't the man
just walk down to your office

And pick up the check?

Ain't that viable enough
for you people?

We got this situation and I was
hoping you might do a story.

The man is living in a box
with his entire family!

Does that sound
like a welfare cheat to you?!

No, a family with four little
ones living in that boxville,

The rent got screwed up,
they can't get welfare
without an address,

Now the city won't provide
housing without separating
the family.

Well, the husband is in jail,

He can't make bail
on a three-dollar arrest.

So you got his wife,
his kids living down there--

[Both]
in a cardboard box!

You interested enough to take
a camera crew in there?

Great.
[Telephone rings]

[Bates]
hill street station.

Have you asked him
to turn down the radio?

Oh, judas-- they promised
the captains ranking by 2:00.

Are you surprised, howard?

When was this department
ever on time?

Huh-- well, you take waiting
better than I do.

I've had nine years' training.

You should be ashamed
of yourself.

I am-- I hate myself.

Get her outta here, will ya--
I'm gonna bust an ulcer.

Phil?

We didn't get a chance yet.

Henry goldblume.

How you doing?

You got a second?

Yeah.

I wanna ask you
about a midtown homicide guy--

Detective torriello.

Giovan'?

He's working
the gina srignoli k*lling.

Hey, whoa--
henry goldblume.

She was my girlfriend.

Right-- I'm sorry.

Can you tell me
about what torriello's got?

Not really, lieutenant.

What do you mean, not really?

I mean I'm not really sure.

I mean, but plus, aren't you
supposed to stay clear?

Hey, listen.

Listen, I've been getting
handled for three weeks,
shut out.

They sh*t her down
in front of me.

I'd appreciate it--

If you know anything,
I'd appreciate it if you'd say.

I think they got a guy on ice
at the hotel worth.

Torriello's down there
every day.

Don't get stupid
with it, lieutenant.

No-- thanks.

What the hell are you
doing here, lieutenant?

Torriello,
if you don't let me in,

I swear to god
I'll do v*olence.

[Sighs]

[Television playing
indistinctly]

Visitors!

Sonny murdo,
lieutenant goldblume.

Hiya, lieutenant.

Sonny.

From where's he from?

Don't recognize me,
huh, sonny?

Geez, did we talk already?

I'm seeing so many people.

He was at the hit, sonny,
sitting at the table.

No kidding.

You know, uh, it's not about
personalities, lieutenant.

Let him ask you
what he wants to know.

Absolutely, sure.

Why was she k*lled?

Be honest with ya,
I couldn't tell ya, lieutenant.

I know the hit came
from srignoli's brother.

Brother's in somers,
17 to--

Who hired you?

Freddy charles.

I got 1500 in front,
six grand at the whack.

Charles is a contract guy.

What did they tell you
about gina?

She was the young one.

He said if I had a clear sh*t
to put one in her mouth.

I guess 'cause she was
talking, see?

He's just a button guy
but he's given us

Some pretty decent stuff,
how they piece the work out--

- How long?
- How long what?

When'd you make the bust?

How long you been
sitting on him?

We grabbed him the next morning,
the morning after the hit.

Come on, let go.

You know how many snitches
got rousted,

How many favors got called in
the past three weeks?!

Lieutenant, you been going
with a girl with nothing
but bad connections,

Plus you're doing pretty good

With the clothes
and the rest of it.

Nobody knew where you stood,

Why you were asking
the questions.

I loved her!

Tell you the truth,
that's what I said.

It was probably
just that you loved her.

But we figured
your captain had the best read,

He knew what to give you.

What do you mean?

We kept captain furillo
apprised.

We figured
he'd bring you up to speed

When he thought
you ought to know.

I'm sorry, kid.

[Sighs]

Come on, forget the water,

We're moving
in a straight line here.

You okay, sarge?

Uh, gas.

Come on, over here.

Grand theft auto,
resisting arrest.

"A" collar, guys.

Yeah, and the bonus was
we lived.

Oh-- stan the wheel man?

A regular barney oldfield.

I got pain here.

[Bates]
what's wrong?

[Groaning]

- Stan?
- Sarge?

I can't breathe.

[Coffey]
easy, easy, easy.

[Bates]
call an ambulance, natalie.

Oh, boy, it's like a fist.

Never mind the ambulance--
joe, drive him to mercy.

All right,
we got a unit outside.

Just take it easy, come on.

Here we go, sergeant,
come on, stay with us.

A little better now.

You're gonna be fine, sarge.

Come on, ray,
we'll go in a separate car.

I'll bring it around.

You bastard.

I never even thought
to ask you.

I mean, you were my friend.

I figured if you knew anything,
you would tell me.

Henry, there are reasons
why family isn't apprised
till after disposition.

Don't quote policy to me.

And what would you
have done with it?

What would you have done
if I'd told you?

I'd have known.

And when you found out
that they had pleaded him down

In order to get information,

What would you have done
with that,

Gone to the papers,
gone after him?

Then what kind of friend
would I have turned out to be?

Helping you
would cost you your job.

You don't get
to choose my life.

I won't forgive you for this.

I've got to
get to the hospital.

Did you happen to notice
stan jablonski on the way in?

Hear anything good, luce?

Why don't you mind
your own business?

[Bates]
woman in the locker room!

No ranks.

No ranks.

I'm speaking for a lot of people

Getting real tired of waiting
for you to get off this thing.

They're sick of you being rude
and taking sh*ts

And sick of walking on eggs.

You are not the first person
who has ever had a loss,

And it doesn't give you
the right to stop being human.

Woman coming out!

[Siren wailing]

Fellas, you like the suits, huh?

Hey, take a look at the name
in the label in the jacket.

You recognize
that famous designer?

Yeah, I heard of that.

Anywhere else downtown

They'd charge you
an extra hundred dollars.

I ain't asking how you can
afford to sell 'em
80-cheap, man.

Good, don't ask.

See they don't steal nothing.

What can I do for ya, fellas?

- Al berman?
- Uh-huh.

We're associates of lieutenant
flaherty from midtown, al.

Uh-huh.

Hey-- why don't you guys
b*at it?

Why is that?

'Cause I said so.

Hey, take it easy, fay.

Them's customers, you know!

Al, look at me.

We're working on those suits got
stolen from jason's clothiers,

Same case
as lieutenant flaherty.

Lieutenant sent us
for some more evidence.

What size evidence you need?

42 Long with a 34 inseam.

And a 40 regular.

The 42/34'd be a charcoal suit
plus sports coat and slacks.

Hey, look, fellas--

I'm trying to be cooperative

But this is getting to be
a lot of free garments now.

Al, you're moving hot clothes
out of here.

Now, plan a's you can alter some
with our measurements,

Or plan b's
you can take a bust.

"A"-- plan a.

Right.

A's already the best.

They, they boosted a nice bolt
of pinstripe flannel.

I'll custom-make your suit.

Al, I got a christening
on friday.

You'll have it.

I'll get the material, you come
back tomorrow afternoon.

Al, you're a prince.

It's my pleasure.

It's a disgrace what they
get away with in this city!

I know-- uh, mister berman--

You think I could
take my hour now?

You don't get paid, you know.

This ain't united way.

[Furillo]
so alcohol is included.

No particular reason,
I just wanted to know

The range of what you were
checking for.

[Knocking on door]

Yeah, right, thanks.

Mick?

Uh, we got some dirty cops
in midtown.

They just came
into my undercover,

They're shaking down the owner.

They make you?

And I couldn't put a name
on either one of them.

Possible they were impersonating
cops just to run the shakedown?

They had the shields.

I was gonna
take the place tomorrow.

I think we oughta
postpone the bust

And see what we can get
on these guys.

Okay, I'll have i.a.d.
Run some photos for you.

[Man on tv]
--from lynn williams.
Lynn?

[Williams]
were you there
when the officers

Arrested your husband?

[Mrs. Jackson]
no, not at the time.

They came and told me about it.

Are you frightened
with your husband in jail,

Being here alone?

I kept watch through the night.

How long can you survive
like this, mrs. Jackson?

I don't know.

I don't know.

[Bates]
they just don't have
anyplace to go.

Ray, howard.

Interview results, frank?

Ah, end of suspense, raymundo.

I probably spoke too fast again.

I tried to measure my breathing.

Uh, could you give us
just a minute, howard?

Oh, "absolutamonte."

Fourth.

Fourth, really?

Yeah-- maybe this time's
the charm.

Fourth, frank?

Thank you.

Rarefied air, ray?
Upper half?

Fourth, howard, fourth.

Fourth?

[Chuckles]

Is that so?

[Furillo clears throat]

Fifteenth.

Fifteenth, frank?

Judas, there--
there only were 15.

I don't know how to
sugar the pill for you, howard.

Did they give a reason?

"Poor cognizance
of command structure."

What?

Frank, I take
the chain of command as gospel.

I would no more usurp
a superior's prerogative
in the field than--

Did you happen
to talk about the t*nk?

Going to daniels for funding?

Maybe they thought
that was out of line.

Well, if that's their idea
of command prerogative,

Who initials
the purchase order--

I'm sorry, howard.

Well-- leave it to
the bureaucrats, frank.

They'll be fighting this w*r
for urban survival

With snub-nosed
organizational charts.

[Siren wailing in distance]

[Woman on p.a.]
Dr. Hamill, dr. C. Hamill,
please report to o.r. Stat.

Doc, he's family.

You have no cardiac
irregularities,

No enzyme changes--

We're 98% sure
you didn't have an att*ck.

All of which
I could have told ya.

It's angina.

I'm outta here.

You're not outta here.

I want another 24 hours'
observation.

See if we wanna change
the regime on your medication.

What's the matter
with the old regime?

Sarge--

I agree, this is probably just
a slightly more intense episode

Of what you've been living with
for the last six years,

But it can also be a warning.

I want you here long enough
to rule that out.

Okay, dr. Jablonski?

Will you not give me
a hard time?

- Yeah.
- [Chuckles]

I'll see you in the morning.

You are a very tough customer.

Eh-- enzyme blenders.

It's all
a bunch of gobbledygook.

Here, mick-- here,
this is what I want you
to do for me tomorrow.

"Collect wants
and division memos,
place on clipboard at podium."

Yeah, it all comes in a packet
about a quarter to seven.

That's just in case the sawbones
is late in signing me out.

He said
they're keeping you here.

In a pig's eye.

Mick, hell or high water,
I'm outta here,

I'm at that podium tomorrow a.m.

[Chuckles]

What?

You are a p*stol.

I am a-- p*stol.

Couple of seconds
there in the squad room,

I thought I was out of rounds.

I'll call ya later on.

Yeah, I don't know what time
the switchboard closes.

Thanks for coming, mick.

Ehh.

[Monitor beeping rapidly]

Ah, it's on the fritz.

Damn thing does that
all the time.

Good night.

Good night.

Change?

[Music playing in background]

I should have never
said anything.

I was totally out of line.

What are you talking about?

Goldblume.

Somebody had to say something.

I mean, I like the guy, joe.

I wasn't looking to put
my finger in his face.

It's not like he hasn't been
having a rough time.

Luce, you just said
what everybody's been thinking

For the last couple of weeks.

Now, either he can take it
or the hell with him.

Great, so now
he's not gonna talk to me
for the rest of my life.

[Goldblume]
good night, luce.

[Belker]
he was feisty.

He was looking good.

Come sit with us, have a beer.

No, I gotta get home.

You gonna spread the word
around for me?

Yeah-- see you in the morning.

'Kay.

Is that the guy that bites?

Belker-- best undercover
I've ever seen.

I hear he's working that outlet
for the clothes they stole
from giglio's.

It was from that store
in midtown.

How's he doing with that?

Garibaldi and I were supposed to
do backup and arrest tomorrow,

But it was postponed.

What, are you writing a book?

[Scoffs]

No-- I was remembering
how much I liked you.

It was one night, dugan,
don't make it romeo and juliet.

That's all it was?
Just once?

Just once.

How about we double
our quota, patsy?

Ply me with a little more hooch,
we'll talk.

Hey, guys.

Hey, what's up?

What do you think?

Phil?

Mm-hmm.

Sweet pickup
on that ginzo shylock.

Guy reminds me of me.

Meaning what?

Meaning I like him okay,
but I don't exactly trust him.

Indeed.

How about it, neal?

How about what?

How about you tell me what you
been sitting on all day?

If they test for codeine
in those samples,

I'm coming up positive.

For your knee.

Hey, I thought you had a script.

Not from the department doc.

He wanted to take me
off the streets.

I told him the knee was better.

Started using my own guy.

They don't want you to work
the street behind painkillers.

Screws up their liabilities.

Hey, neal, come on, cheer up.

Worst case,
we're talking disability,

We're talking winters
in antigua.

Hey, man, look,
I don't like antigua

And I don't like beaches
and I don't like handouts.

I like working.

That's a sick attitude.

[Man on tv]
--very happy to present
that money now

To mr. And mrs. Pablo jackson.

Thank you, jim.

It has indeed been
an extraordinary day

For the jackson family,

But it's also an extraordinary
day in the life of the city.

There are those, of course, who
say the big city has no heart--

Thanks, fred.

She's a good woman.

Don't I know it.

Felt like it worked
pretty good together,

Ourselves and ms. West today.

Worked okay.

--A check in the amount
of $840.

[Mr. Jackson]
thank you.

[Williams]
what would you like to say

To our viewing audience
who contributed?

I'd like to say thank you
and god bless you, all of you.

This is gonna go for our first
month/last month security.

All for the apartment?

Well, a couple of dollars
for donald's birthday cake.

I also understand another
generous citizen put up--

[Tv clicks off]

Makes it look easy,
doesn't it?

"Look, here's a poor person,
let's all pitch in and help."

A few hours later, poof--
he's not poor anymore.

Am I sensing a bit of jealousy
here, counselor?

Are you saying ms. Williams
did more for your client

Than you could have done?

I just wonder if that kind
of sentimental quick fix

Doesn't make people more
impatient with the problems

That can't be solved between
the six and the 11 o'clock news.

Make them resent the people
who still have the problems
the next day.

Oh.

But yes, I am very happy
for the jacksons.

[Phone rings]

Furillo.

It was just angina.

I know.

You already told me, stan.

Just don't be starting
the roll call with me,
all right?

There's nobody there to start
the roll call without you.

Yeah, well, just don't be
thinking of bates or nothing.

How's the food?

Criminal-- awful.

Sleep well, then.

[Chuckles]

You too.
