Post by bunniefuu »

- Item five.

In its wisdom,
division has decreed

city wide prostitution sweeps.

Yeah, this, of course, ignores
that practically everybody,

including the
Johns, is zeroed out

in disposable income, not to
mention that it's 23 degrees.

- Well, you know
why that is, Sarge.

Last July someone downtown
decided to make this sweep

and it took division
this long to figure out

a plan how to do it.

- Yeah, yeah, you're probably
right, Andy, but that don't

change the fact
that target blocks

for this precinct are Van
Buren between 137 and 140.

Lieutenant Hunter
is coordinating.

- Six, transfers.

People, I'm going to ask
each of you new arrivals

to raise your hand when
I, uh, call out your name.

Officer Jack Steger
from Polk Avenue.

Yeah, he's an old compadre
of mine, back there.

Officers, uh, Danielle
Wiley, uh, Ron Garfield, and,

um, and James Trapado.

Let me know if I'm
mispronouncing anybody.

- Trapido.

- Trapido, right. You got it.

Welcome. Bundle up.

Item seven, on goings
and under covers,

Hendry and Bonzell are at
Barry's Electronic Emporium

and Mick Belker continues
preliminary investigation

into a PCP undercover.

Item eight: Now the balls
back in our court, people.

The city exterminators say
that any further comprehensive

fumigation of these
premises could possibly result

in making some
of us humans sick.

So to combat these
roaches they suggest

that we take
prophylactic measures.

- All right!

- We got to keep food stuffs
out of unauthorized areas.

Last item.

Guys are very
happy when it's over.

6:00 tonight at
the Kubiak Lodge,

Mick Belker embarks
on the sea of matrimony

with his longtime
sweetheart, Robin Tataglia

- Hey, Mick, Mick, Mick.

You a little nervous, or what?

- Belker was nervous 'cause
he had to take a shower.

- He looks nice.

- The ceremony is
going to be at 6:00 sharp.

The Kubiak is graciously
providing the reception.

Okay, that's it. Let's
have a safe shift.

Well, let's get going. They're
getting away out there.

- Mick, congratulations.
- Thanks, Bob.

- Hey, Mick, hang in there baby.

- Thanks.

- Hey, uh, sandwich is
getting cold and greasy, baby.

He's not going to eat it, man.

- Renko is a total pig,
man. He'll eat anything.

- Renko, let's go.

- Oh, we're both wrong.

He's waiting for it to
get colder and greaser.

- So, uh, Mick, I figure
you can give me the ring

at the Kubiak, huh?
- Fine.

- Or you can give it to me now.

- No, I'll give it to
you at the Kubiak.

- Fine. I'm a little nervous.

I haven't been a
best man for 25 years.

- I ain't never
been married ever.

- Hey, detective.

- Hey, Ron Garfield,
my man. How you doing?

- Good. Good to be back up here.

Hey, look, uh, what
are people putting in

for Detective Belker's present?

- Hey, hey, we
got it covered, Ron.

Appreciate the thought, though.

- All right.

- JD?
- Mmm.

- When you picking up
Belker's wedding gift?

- Now.
- What's it look like?

- Like a refrigerator.
- I don't know.

Uh, JD, do you
think a refrigerator

was a good wedding present.
I've been thinking about it.

- Hey, Coffey, I
tell you what. Okay.

If you think you can find
a better present next time

you be the head of the
gift committee, okay?

- Hey, I asked you
a simple question.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Hey, man. Come on.

Let's go get Mick's gift.
- Wait.

- What happened?
- What's up, man?

- In my, Mr. Muffin,
there's a giant cockroach.

- You didn't eat it did you?

- I don't know.
- Let me see that.

Now, wait a minute.
Uh, he's right.

Hey, look at these
cute little feelers, huh?

- I, I didn't eat
any of it did I?

- Renko, you know, your
problem is you're totally wussified.

Now roaches taste great.

- You are out of your mind.

- They're a great
source for protein.

- Robert, I can
understand biting into a bug

for breakfast once,
but twice in one day.

- Wait a minute,
wait a minute, Renko,

what do you mean two times?

- Well, when I was downstairs
I found a bug in this one too.

- What?
- Right here.

- Let me see that.

- Only that one looked like
it was made out of candy.

- Uh-oh, lover.

- Looks like she b*at the rush.

Hey, don't you get it?

We're going out on a sweep
that you already got busted.

- Oh, I can't go right now.
- That, that's a joke.

That's a jokey joke.
Come on, come on.

- Be sure you can
pick it up, Robin.

- Yes, okay. I
can wait a second.

- Yeah, 'cause...
- Nick.

- If you get the tux I
can go straight home,

get changed, and meet
you over at the Kubiak.

Yeah, you sure you're up to it?

You're feeling okay? All right.

Okay, I take it
back. I'll see ya later.

I love you. Bye-bye.

- If special narcotics wanted
in on Belker's operation

then it had three
weeks to say so.

- Cooker, correct. No.

He's cooking for
the other two guys.

The guys who stepped out
on our informant's organization

and ordered a
manufacturer for Suarez.

Correct.

Suarez's organization
is the ultimate target.

I know he's the
biggest up there.

That's why we're after him.

Uh, no. Detective Belker
has already left for the day.

Thank you.

- Is there any way we can
help you, logistically, today?

- No, I don't think so.

My informant's
just doing intros.

- I mean the wedding.
- Oh. No, thanks, Captain.

We got everything
pretty much under control.

- Good. I'll see you later.
- Okay.

- I want to, uh, introduce
you to the Captain.

Captain, this is, uh,
Officer Jack Steger.

Uh, Jack just transferred up.

- Jack.
- Captain.

- Uh, Officer Garfield
you remember.

- Ronnie.

- It's good to be working
with you again, sir.

- Jack and I did
time at the Pulp.

- Back when we both had
hair and one stomach a piece.

- I thought I'd team Jack
up with Officer Garfield,

at least for the
first couple of days.

- Right.

Ron can chase 'em
down and I'll cuff 'em.

- Sounds good. Welcome.

- Well, come on, kid,
let's go chase girls.

- Good luck.

- Joe, we don't have the time.

- The sweep can
wait for five minutes.

Now tell me, what is
it? Is it ceramics guy?

- Sort of.

- Did you sleep with him?

- I made a mistake.

- You know, I told
the guy was a jerk.

I knew he was a jerk.
- Hey, you take sh*ts in life.

Some of 'em work and some don't.

- That's right.

- When I was younger I
used to think, you know,

someday you are
going to have somebody

who loves you and a family.

- Yeah, and someday you're
going to have all those things.

- No, I'm not.

This is the way my
life is going to be

and I got to face that and
sometimes that's hard to do.

Come on, let's go.

- You still got me.

- Let's go, let's go.

- I'm going to say it
one more time now.

What's the main chemical
you gotta watch out for?

- Ether.

- Right, 'cause the ether
can blow you up, dig?

Now what's your
next main problem,

considering you're a policeman?

- What?

- The juice, man.

Don't get none of the juice
on your hands or up your nose

'cause if you get high
your cover is gone.

Juice makes the
man want to talk.

- I wear gloves. I don't
breathe the fumes.

- Another name for the PCP.

- Uh, dust, angel dust,
cr*ck, cloud walk, uh...

- Some other names for the...?

- Pipe. I know
all this stuff, Wes.

- Well, you want to
tell me it's about, huh?

- Tell you about what?

- Dig, if I'm educating you,
you're getting a whole course.

Understand, Jim?

Now the molecules, come on.

Come on, man, we
talked about the molecules.

- I know what a molecule is.

- You get these molecules
hooked up and that makes

the compound and
that's where the money is,

in the compound.

That's what breaks
the blood brain barriers

and up you go, man.

- You know, you remind
me of my third grade teacher.

- Well, the man teaches
what he knows, you know?

Driver's Ed teaches driving.
Cop teaches how to police.

I know PCP. Yo, Chato,
yeah, Johnson here.

Well, I've been
trying. $12, man.

All right, you get the
sample of the product?

Right. Right.

Yeah, Mick. Mick from Detroit.

Be right over.

- They like the batch?

- Why wouldn't
they like it, man?

I cooked it.

Question is, when you cook
it are they going to like it?

- Those not engaged
in illegal congress

will be allowed to leave.

Now, please, people, be patient.

Stand by until you are
checked by one of our officers.

- Uh, hold it lady.

- If requested, you must
show proper identification.

- Stop!

- Will someone stop that woman?

- Right there. Freeze.

- Nickel bust.

Where's the, where's
the jerk going?

- Leo's got some
warrants on him.

- Let's get him.

- No!

- Garfield!

You okay?

- He had a g*n.

He, he pointed a g*n at me.

It's not here.

Look, I saw it.

It was in his hand. I saw it.

- Take it easy. Take it easy.

We'll find it.

- I know he had a g*n.

He pointed the g*n at me
and he was going to sh**t it.

- Just go back, go
back and call it in.

I'll find the g*n.

- Officer, somebody
better get over to the alley.

There's been a sh**ting.

- Tell my partner.
He's over there.

- 2250, officer involved
sh**ting, suspect down,

137 Van Buren, in the alley.

- 10/4 2250.
- Requesting an ambulance.

- 10/4 we copy.

- Hey, come with me.

- Hey, kid, I
found it. Here it is.

- Sixty percent of
your manpower going

to victimless crime sweeps,
4% left to cover the streets.

Robert, the secret of
effective police administration

is priorities and
division has none.

What is so funny?

- I'm just thinking
about LaRue's face

when you pulled that bugs...

- We done it real
good with that.

We had him flat on that.

- He was.
- Here we are.

- Oh, no. Look at this, Renko.

- The guy over
here is pretty bad.

- Hey.

- Just relax, mister,
everything's going to be okay.

- My heart, check the heart.

- Yeah, your heart is okay.

- Nah, the heart
in the chest, man.

- I just said your
heart is perfect.

- No, the heart in the back.

- Uh, sir, I think
you're going shock.

- Listen. The heart,
the transplant.

It's in a red and white cooler.

- There's no cooler back here.

- A red and white cooler?
The guy I was chasing had one.

- Uh, that's it. They
stole the heart.

- Heart?
- Call for backups.

We're checking the alley.

- Look, these dudes
are over their heads now.

They may show
short the front money.

- That's all right.
I'll let 'em owe me.

- They're your way into
these Dominicans, man.

That one guy, Filo, he's
married to Suarez's sister.

- That's the guy
coming down the stairs?

- No, no. That's
Chato. Filo's behind.

- What's happening, guys?
- What you got, Willy?

- I want you to meet my
man, Mick, from Detroit.

Second best chemist in America.

- How are ya?

- Mick, how you feeling?

- Well, I'm going to feel great
when I see 5,000 from ya.

- Hey, Mick, that sample you
made, man, went over great.

Vato we gave it to
thinks he's in outer space.

- Well, that's 5,000
for the chemist, fellas.

- Uh, here's our
scene with that, Mick.

We got to run that down.

- They're going to run
down their scene for me?

- Hey, hey, look, don't
embarrass me, huh fellas?

And where's the man's money?

- Don't be getting
down on, Willy, here.

- All right, they said they
had their thing together.

Go ahead.

- A square business, Mick.
We put our money all in product.

- We spent the money
buying the preparatine. man.

- We'll just lie it
on a front to you.

- In other words, you want
to mix up a batch on credit

so you can impress
your new connections.

- Listen, how about instead
of 180 you got 400,000?

- Hey, guys.

We're moving the can all
the weight you can mix, Mick.

They can move 20 pints a week.

- Twenty times our 100,
looking at 8,000 a week.

- What do you think, Willy?

- Look, I'm not telling
you what to do, man.

Hey look, people embarrass me,

you don't give
me a straight story.

- We got state of the
art equipment in here.

- What state of the art?

You need a garbage
can and ether.

Boys, don't insult
my intelligence.

- Sorry, sorry.
- All right, forget it.

I'm here. I already
made the trip.

- It's solid, Mick.

You ain't gonna
regret this, man.

- Come on inside and you just
show us how you want it set up.

- When do I meet your friends?

- The Dominicans? Later.

- Hey, you gonna
like those cats.

They're serious how you are.

- So I hear this
guys going bankrupt

and I figure what the heck?

The place is right
next door to my car lot.

So presto, Rob's
discount kingdom.

- You're not giving
yourself enough credit, Rob.

Looks to me like you put at
least 30 bucks into fixtures.

- Neal, what do you think?

One day I think the
crown just looks great

and then the day after I
think it's maybe over the top.

- I'll take the day after, Rob.

- All right, about
the fridge, Rob?

Remember Belker's refrigerator?

- Brother-in-law.

Would you be adverse
to me saving you

a few bucks on this present?

- Save it how?

- Merely by removing the tag of
a nationally advertised product,

which we all know
that advertising

drives up the prices
anyway, and placing it

on this brother
fridge from Mexico,

thereby making
the Chill King a GE.

- Is that right?

Why would you want
to do a thing like that?

- Look, I give it to you for
your yard and a half less

and we both make out.

So Americans never
heard of Chill King,

don't mean it doesn't
freeze hamburger, right?

- Must have paid top
dollar for 'em, huh, Rob?

- Well, I took advantage of
the fluctuating Mexican peso.

- Uh, what kind of
a warranty we get?

It breaks you apologize? Uh-uh.

I ain't laying a clunker
on Detective Belker

on his wedding day so
me and Neal can pocket

a couple of bucks.

- Oh, JD, when did you
become such a saint, huh?

- It's not a matter of that.

It so happens my
fellow officers elected me

head of the gift committee.

- Well, then I guess I just
can't give you the fan can I?

- Hey, now that fan
was no kickback.

That fan happens to be
an incentive finder's bonus.

Now, I want the GE and I want
it delivered to the Kubiak by 4:30.

- Sure, whatever you
say, JD, whatever you say.

You know, it's getting
harder and harder every year

to tell your sister, Peg,
what a jerk her brother is.

- Hey, JD. We got to get
back to the precinct, babe.

Something about a missing heart.

- That's not fatal. Robs
lived with that for years.

- Stan, let's bring four more
teams for the heart search

as soon they've
locked their hookers.

- Right.

- Captain, the
doctors are saying

there's only a four hour
viability on this heart?

- That's correct.
We're on a tight clock.

Excuse me.

- Uh, ladies and gentlemen,
um, please, uh, would, would,

uh, print media please take
a backseat for the moment.

Radio and television
reporters can get

the story out much faster.

- Lady, I know
you feel terrible.

I feel bad too, but that
ain't what these phone lines

are for, all right?

- Let's bring it up
again, Captain.

Start from the appeal part.

- Well, we're appealing to
whoever possesses the heart.

However he or
she came to have it,

this is a no questions
asked situation.

- Hill Street, Buntz.

- You may not even
know you have it.

It's ice packed in a
red and white cooler.

Um, I'd like to
repeat the numbers.

- Okay, we've had a trace
capability in your 57, 58, 59.

- All right.
- 5, 54, 55, and 56.

Um, also, uh, we think,
uh, maybe the perpetrator,

uh, discarded the, the cooler.

- You feel terrible too, huh?
Capital punishment, huh?

All right, just write your
congressman, all right, lady?

- Van Buren subway line.

- Captain, would you tell people
we don't want condolences.

We want information.

- What time does IAD get here?

They say at 11:30.

- All right, don't you
worry about those guys.

- I mean it was clean sh**t.

- He turned, I saw
the g*n, I fired.

Case closed.

- I'm just thinking about what
I'd be feeling like now, boy.

If you hadn't found
that guy's piece...

- Well, you overlooked it.

You were too
busy shaking, right?

- Have you used your g*n, Jack?
- Five times, my friend.

One thing you
don't want is doubts.

Doubts will k*ll you next time.

- At the alley facing Van Buren
Street between 138 and 139.

The suspect turned and
confronted me with a w*apon.

I felt myself at
risk and I fired.

- Did your partner
see the exchange?

- No, he reached the alley
about 20 seconds later.

- Suspect hadn't
fired his w*apon?

- No, he was just about to.
- You concluded that?

- Well, he pulled his piece
and bringing it to bare.

I concluded that
he was about to fire.

- We'll be taking your
partner's statement.

- Officer Steger.

- We'll be taking Officer
Steger's statement

and examining SID findings.

You'll work from your
desk until notified.

- Is there a problem
with the sh**t, sir?

- If there is we'll be asking
for a further statement.

I don't see any
problem, Officer.

- So Ronnie and me open
your freezing compartment.

I can't believe it, but
there it is in front of me.

- Frozen money.
- Now, what do you think?

400 singles, impressive in
terms of bulk or the simple,

understated eloquence
of four clean Franklins.

- Guys, we can use
you manning the phones

on this missing heart search.

- These people, they call up,

they think it's Phil
Donahue, you know?

Uh, what a terrible
shame, what an awful crime.

I saw people carrying a cooler,

but they were on
the picnic, you know.

I could see their
frickin' ham sandwiches.

- Hey.

- Joe, uh, Luc, um,
get your girl 713

and then get out on this
search for the heart, huh?

- All right.

- Joe, Joe?

- That's Mrs. DeWitt,
Fabian's mom.

- I'll take care of girls, Luc.

This way ladies.

- Do you even know who I am?

- Sure, I remember
you. Your name is Lucy.

- Where's Fabian?
Is he with you?

- Fabians in North
Carolina with is aunt,

just where I left him,
where you sent him

the Christmas present.

Didn't you send him
the Christmas present?

- I thought you were
gonna stay down there.

Mrs. DeWitt, I thought
things were going better.

- Fabian's fine now.
He's fine with his aunt.

- You should be
ashamed of yourself.

You get a gift from God and
you throw your life in a sewer.

- It's my life.
- And what about his life?

What are you doing to your
son? You know he loves you.

- Just shut up.
- I don't have to shut up.

- Shut up.
- You can't handle it.

- I request you
refrain from speaking

with my client without
counsel present.

- That's real great.

Everybody's concerned
about Vivian DeWitt's rights

while she cuts her son off
from everything he deserved.

- Get out of here.
- Sergeant.

- I'm leaving. Junkie hooker
makes me sick anyway.

- Yeah, here's a stack of 'em.

- These all can't be
legitimate calls, Sarge.

Heart'll be dead by the
time we answer these.

- Hospital called, hearts
viable another hour and a half.

- Give me a couple of 'em, Stan.

- Anybody else? Anybody else?

We got 90 minutes, folks.

- Give me a bunch.

- Let's go.

- Hey, what happened
with Fabian's mother?

- Let's go. We got
this now. Let's go.

- Hank, your office.
- What's up?

- Interesting find on follow
up with Garfield's sh**t.

- I don't know what a human
heart looks like exactly.

No, not like a piece
of liver, ma'am.

- I got say, JD, money
as a gift seems a little cold.

- Of course, it's
cold. It's in a fridge.

- Okay. Now who
you gonna put on?

Hey, you know
what I'm saying, JD.

What about... giving him
some more presents and stuff.

- What presents?
Thank you, ma'am.

- Presents like you buy.

Fill up the fridge with 'em,
make it a little more festive.

- When are we gonna
have time to buy presents

if we got 3,000 stupid
phone calls to answer?

- And the hearts
gonna be dead soon.

- Speaking of cold...

- I mean even if it's
like a basket of fruit.

- Or like steaks.
- Sure.

- Hockey tickets, big
flashlights, small dogs.

Yeah.

- I took the g*n to
forensics myself.

The pimp's prints
were all over it.

- Have we checked with
Garfield's partner has to say?

- Steger. I think he's
following up heart leads.

- Ron, could you step
in here a minute, please?

- Rough way to start.
- Yes, sir.

- IAD talk to you yet?
- Yes, they did.

- Ron, I understand a
g*n was found this morning

near the body of the
man you sh*t and that g*n

has been print matched
to the deceased.

- Yes, sir, that's correct.

- You saw him pull
how many g*ns?

- How many? One.

That was enough, sir. Just one.

- Well, a little while ago
Lieutenant Goldblume

found another g*n at the
scene lying under a dumpster

not too far from the
body and that second g*n

also had the
deceased's prints on it.

- What?
- Two g*ns were found.

One possibility, you
dropped the g*n that

Officer Steger recovered
because you couldn't

find the pimp's g*n
and we turned it up later.

- No way. I never even
carry a backup piece.

- Ron, this is simply to let you
know the facts as uncovered.

You may want to
sit down quietly now

and write down everything you
can remember from the incident.

- I've already done that.

- Then do it again. Go over it.

- In part, what the
Captain is saying is that

this was your first sh**ting,
you might have been scared.

Right now would be the best time

to be totally forthcoming
about everything.

- Or even he'd
withdrawn a second g*n,

but you didn't see it.

There may be a
number of explanations.

- There's an explanation
for it, but that's not it.

That's not it.

Am I excused, Captain?

- You may want your
PBA representative

for your next internal
affairs interview.

- Any units.

Missing heart ransom
demand traced pay phone, 138...

- Yeah, when did that come
in, an hour and a half ago,

an hour ago?

- 222 Rolling is now, uh,
1020, 142 and Van Meer.

- Roger 22...

- Renko, they're going
as fast as they can.

- 2202 is going.

Do you what we're going
found out when we get there?

Another empty damn
phone booth. You know why?

Because they left, because
if it was a legitimate call,

they got tired of
waiting around.

- Well, we gotta try. It
ain't over until it's over.

- How much time does that
heart got to live, about 20 minutes?

- Did you see a man making
a phone call from there?

- Crazed old junkie,
lives over the deli.

- Is he still around here?
- Beats me.

- Hey, wait a minute.
There, that's him.

There he is over there.
- I'll get him. Hey.

- Come on, come on.

- 2202 in pursuit of
suspect with stolen heart,

northbound on Decker and 139.

He's traveling in
a blue Plymouth.

- What kind of a person
would steal a heart?

- He didn't know a
heart was in it, Renko.

- Northbound on Decker.
Any available units.

- Hold it right there.

- No closer or
the heart gets it.

- Looks, there's a man in
desperate need of that organ.

If he doesn't get
it, he's gonna die.

- I want money.
- Is this our man?

- dr*gs. dr*gs, too.
- He's our man.

- Hey, hey, I told
'em, mess with me,

and I'm going to do the heart.

- Dr. Hill, Dr. Renko, gets
your gowns and masks on.

We may have to operate.

- What are you talking about?

I'm the one that's gonna
be doing the operating,

then you don't get no heart.

- You see now that's where
you're wrong, smart guy,

'cause if that
heart don't make it

I'm gonna blow
your freakin' head off

and we're gonna use
yours, you got that?

Get that case out of my
car. I'll got a scalpel in there.

- This man's crazy.
Uh, he can't do that.

- No? You can count
can't ya 'cause I'm gonna

count backwards from two, okay?

- Oh, wait one damn minute.
- Two. Get ready.

When he goes down we're
not gonna have much time.

- I deserve some money.

- One.
- This ain't fair.

This here's illegal.

- How much time we got?
- Sixteen minutes.

- Come on.
- Let's go.

- 22202, we got
it. We got the heart.

Notify Mercy. We're on our way.

Please, let that
thing be usable.

- Here, open it up
and check it out.

- Lieutenant.

- Oh, wow.

- What the hell is the
matter with you, buddy, huh?

You blind and deaf?

- Bobby Hill, it is
ten blocks to Mercy.

- You got a better
idea? Watch out!

- Will, get in.
- Go.

- Docket N639421, Vivian DeWitt,

disorderly conduct.

- My papers indicate
drug addiction.

You want a detox
interview, Ms. DeWitt?

- For the detox program?
- Correct.

- If I don't go in the
program I gotta stay in jail?

- I told you, with
these disorderlys

it's $25.00 or five days.
Do you have the $25.00?

- Uh-huh, I do.

- Come on, Ms.
DeWitt, full calendar.

What's your pleasure?
- One second, Your Honor.

Vivian, what the judge is
offering is would you want

to use the occasion
of your arrest

to get into a cleanup situation?

- Just release me, okay?

Ms. DeWitt will pay
the fine, Your Honor.

- Okay.

My papers indicate
family somewhere, hmm.

Children?
- Correct, Your Honor.

- You'd rather stay high.
Is that right, Ms. DeWitt?

All right.

- You never been high so you
don't understand what I'm doing,

but the truth is,
lady, when I'm high

I'm feeling better
than you'll ever know

and that's all I want
and that's all I need.

- Docket N639414,
Wynona Williams,

disorderly conduct.

- Gentlemen, were you
involved in recovering

the Hill Street Heart?

- No, we were in one of
the places where it wasn't...

- What the hell is this?
- We gotta talk.

- What's the hell's
your problem?

- They found the g*n that
pimp was really carrying.

- They found two g*ns?
- You believe that?

- So what's the beef?

The guy who, the
guy had two pieces.

- Wrong, Steger.
He drew one w*apon.

One.

- You're starting to annoy
me. I'm getting aggravated.

You just think ahead here.

If you tell 'em there
was only one g*n,

you didn't see two weapons.

They're gonna start looking
around for other people who...

Other people who might
have dropped that other g*n.

- See what I keep coming back
to is you're sending me away

saying that you'd
take care of everything

and you dropped
a piece, didn't you?

- Hell no, I didn't
drop nothing.

- The hell you didn't.
I told you I saw a g*n.

We would have found it
if we'd have kept looking,

but instead you
just dropped one.

- Even if I had, it wouldn't
have been to hurt ya.

- Yeah, great, thanks
a lot. Thank you.

What do you think it's
gonna happen to me now?

- Don't be stupid. Tell
'em you saw two g*ns.

- Yeah, I already
told 'em I didn't.

- Now wait a minute. It's
real simple, real simple.

Listen.

You go back in there, you say,
uh, I was confused and upset

when I made my
initial statement.

- You want me to change
a sworn statement?

- No, no, no. Calm down.

IAD loves this kind of stuff.

Tell 'em, uh, I
remembered something

and I wasn't gonna say nothing.

It, it's something I thought
I could live with, but I can't.

IAD says, ain't this kid great?

He is one straight cop.
- I don't know.

- Don't give me that whiny crap.

You gonna be stand
up on this or not?

- I don't know. I don't
what I'm gonna do.

I just don't know.

- Hey, Ronnie. Heard
what happened, man.

- Heard what?

- You had to take
a guy out, sorry.

- Didn't you
hear the rest of it,

about me getting
caught in the switches?

- Oh, I took your advice, Neal.

I spent the 500 on some great
stuff for Robin and Mick, okay?

Wait 'till you
see all I got 'em.

They're gonna
deliver it to the Kubiak.

- Yeah, well, I'm...
- Hey, look it here, hero.

- In these days of
manufactured celebrity

and prefab heroes, it's
gratifying occasionally

to be able to report
on the genuine article.

The three members of
the Police Department

standing behind
me, Officers Robert...

- Hill.
- And Andrew Renko...

- Renko.
- And Norman Buntz...

- Lieutenant Buntz.

- Made possible what
is coming to be known

as the six pack transplant.

Uh, Officers, uh, could you
tell us a little more in detail,

uh, how you actually
recovered the heart?

- Uh, we were
only doing our job.

- Uh, Officer Hill,
I recognize you

from our mini-cam
report at Mercy Hospital.

- Right.

- It was you who actually
delivered the heart.

- Uh-uh.
- How did that feel?

- Well, I was just, uh,
hoping to get there in time.

- Oh, I see.

Uh, Lieutenant Buntz,
uh, what did you actually

say to Nolan Trevit, the
man who found the heart and,

uh, held it hostage, to get him
to actually release the organ?

- Nothing. I
threatened him a little.

- Uh, you gave him a
little encouragement then?

- Yeah, I told him
I'd cut out his heart

if he didn't give over
the one he was holding.

- Seriously?
- Seriously, yeah.

- I see. Well, uh, back
to you, Dave and Trish.

- What do you think
I did, kissed him?

- Captain, got a minute?

- What's up?

- Um, oh, uh, it's something
I thought I could live with,

but I can't.

- What's going on, Captain?

- Officer Steger alleges
that you confessed

to having planted a w*apon
at your sh**t this morning.

- You're lying.
You lying bastard.

- Come on, kid.

I'm as sorry about
this as you are.

- Do you deny Officer
Steger's allegations?

- You damn right. Look,
I didn't plant a piece.

From a conversation we had
this morning I'd say it was Steger.

- Sure.

- You have a right to
counsel, Officer Garfield.

Anything you say from
this point on can be used

in evidence in departmental
or legal proceedings.

- Are you saying
you believe that?

Captain, 20 minutes ago
this fat old hump is telling me

to say the perp had two g*ns.

- I got to listen to
anymore of this?

- Mr. Garfield,
keep to your desk.

- All I want to say is,
is what I did, this sh**t,

look, I didn't drop anything.

It was a totally
righteous sh**t.

- So this is the gentleman
I was telling you about,

Mr. Suarez, that Willy
cook spoke so highly of.

Mr. Suarez, Mick.
- How do you do?

- Well, you don't come over
from Jimmy hipping a package.

Bring Willy too.

- Willy ain't available,
Senor Suarez, believe me.

We asked.
- I cook good as Willy.

- That's what Willy
said, Mr. Suarez.

Mick cooks good as he does.

You can imagine
how excited we got.

- Where are you from?
- He's from Detroit.

- Detroit.

- Mick makes quality
and he makes weight.

- Mmm, ready to go? Ready
to make some big money?

- That's what I'm here for.

- He's ready, Senor Suarez.

- You start right now, Mick.
You're gonna make 20 pints.

- But now meaning?

- Senor, we are going
to be your new boys.

In 20 hours you're
gonna have new suppliers.

- What's the matter?

- Nothing, everything is fine.

- Okay. Bueno. Adios.

- We be in contact
with you, Senor Suarez.

We're gonna do a great job.

- Ah, we got a
problem here, fellas.

We're gonna have
to stall him tomorrow.

- What you talking about, man?

- I got to see someone.
I can't cook tonight.

Look, very easy.

I'll start first thing
in the morning.

You call Suarez, you tell him
that the first batched we mixed

was a little light on pipe.

We'll deliver four hours later.

What's the problem?

- Are you crazy?

- This is our big
audition, Mick.

Our big chance, man.

- Man wants it in vente horas,

that is when he's gonna get it.

- I'm telling you I
gotta be someplace.

- And we're telling you this is
the place you gonna be tonight.

- It's a chica, right?
You gotta date.

- Right.

- Afraid you gonna have to
keep your pants on tonight, Mick.

- We due respect you the
head of the gift committee,

JD, I think if you put
these, uh, tennis shoes

where the corn beef is it might
make a better appearance.

- You don't mess with me, Bobby.

I've been through
hell with this today.

- All right, pal.

- Only minutes ago in a
hospital new conference,

Dr. Jason Rosenberg
announced completion of what's

come to be known as
the hostage transplant.

- I love all these
catchy names, huh?

- Dr. Rosenberg stated
that the next obstacle

for transplant patient,
Richard Kervokian

was a possibility
that his body may

reject the transplanted
organ as foreign tissue.

- Hope the man makes it.

- You know, with everything
that hearts been through today

it could make it through
a nuclear holocaust.

- Hey, it's only
20 minutes, right?

- Actually, by my watch,
he's only 18 minutes late.

- I know it's impossible,
Robin, but try to relax.

He's probably
held up in traffic.

- Oh, this time of night?

He has to come across Van Buren.

He's jammed totally.

- I keep thinking his tux
might have strangled him.

- Best man made it
through the gridlock.

- Well, that puts you one
up on the groom, Sarge.

- What?
- Phone for Tataglia.

- Hi, honey. Listen,
something came up.

I gotta break our date tonight.

- Mick, tell me if
you're all right?

- I'm fine.

You know how much I
wanted to be with you tonight,

but things started cooking
here sooner than I thought.

- Right, I, I get it.
- You okay?

- I'm fine. I was just
worried about you.

- I'm fine. Robin, I'm sorry.

- It's okay. As
long as you're okay.

- I love you.

- He's okay, but
he can't make it.

- Robin, uh, asked me to
say... Well, most importantly,

Mick is fine, but his
undercover went red

before any of us expected
it so we're gonna have

to postpone the ceremony.

- I'm sorry everybody.

No, I'm okay.
I'm fine. I'm fine.

- She took it okay, am I right?
- Right 'cause I know broads.

You tell them it's work, it's
gonna be money coming in,

you're gonna buy 'em
something with that money.

They love it if you got
something important to do.

- Mick?

- What's you doing, Mick?

How'd you do that, Mick?

- JD, you said this refrigerator
would be here an hour.

- Oh, well of course,
we couldn't count

on Belker having the bad taste
to be kept over by some crooks.

- I'm just saying where
am I gonna keep this thing?

- You keep it right
here until we find out

what's going on and
you keep it plugged in

so that the perishable
presents I got inside don't rot.

- You really surprised
me today, babe.

- And how's that?

- Well, kept looking for
you to jam yourself up.

You never did.

- I guess that's right. I
didn't blow the dough.

I didn't screw around with Rob

and I got a bunch
of nice presents.

What's left?

- Nothing. Stealing it.

- Stealing it. Neal, that's it.

All day I've been asking what's
my angle, where's this going?

I was meant to
steal this refrigerator.

- Nah, nah.
- Why not?

- It's too late, Ben. You
did a good thing today.

Now you just got
to learn to live with it.

- Hey, it's Shirley.

- Hey, Detective.

- Hey, Ronnie. How
you holding up, man?

- Lousy. I mean I can't
believe what the guy did to me.

- Just stay cool, babe.
Don't make no mistakes.

- Seems like the mistake I
made was who I had for a partner.

Look at him. Lying
piece of garbage.

- Hey, take it easy,
Ronnie. Don't be stupid now.

- Hey, Stan.

- Uh, Jack, maybe, uh, maybe
we oughta head someplace else.

- Uh, no, no, no.

Let myself get run
off by that punk.

Bad enough he plants a piece.

Disgraces the badge I wear.

He's not gonna ruin my time off.

Give me a beer.

- Hey, hey, cool it, Ron.
- Hey, hey.

- Come on, Steger.

- You shouldn't
have done it, kid.

- You're framing me, man.

You're trying to ruin my life.

- You did it to
yourself, ya punk.

- Come on, let's go.

- Thanks, Luc.

- Yeah. You sure you
don't need company?

- No, I'm okay.
- Okay.

Call me if want
someone to talk to.

- Night.
- Night.

- What I gotta have a
special reason to call you up?

I just wanted to
hear your sexy voice.

Yeah.

I think about you
all the time, Fabe.

Yeah. How's it going down there?

I mean I miss you. Yeah.

How's your mom?

Oh, is that right? That's great.

Clean and doing good, huh?

I gotta run, Fabe.
Yeah. I miss you.

Yeah, I love you.

Bye-bye, hon.
