[Chatter]

Item, eight.

Thanks to the continuing spell
of warm weather,

Loving couples have returned
to that cozy row

Of park benches hidden away
between egan and st. Claire,

Bringing as a result
of their unseasonable passion

The return
of the st. Claire snatcher

Who eluded us all summer.

Six purses
have recently been grabbed.

Detective belker,
officer russo are therefore

Assigned undercover.

[Chatter]

Item nine,
ongoing surveillance,

Detective natkin and fuller
on the edgewood investigation

And detectives larue
and washington

Have been double-shifting
since 2100 hours last evening

On the reported arsonist,
joseph scornevako.

Uniformed personnel, would
you please check the duty board

For your backup assignments?

And I think
that just about handles it.

[Chatter]

Some freak yesterday stole
my tape deck out of my car
over on herman.

Report it, officer.
Let's go, men.

Was it one of the ones
you pull right out?

Why didn't you pull it out?

Is that the point?
I'm a cop, right?

Are we going to behind this?

- File a 642, man!
- File! I filed,

I'm saying we're going
to give 'em hell on this!

Okay, patrick,
they get the message! Let's go!

Come on!

- Mr. Scornevako, I presume?
- One busted arsonist, sarge.

I would like a lawyer
immediately. I've got whiplash.

Come on.

[Indistinct]

Lee, get us a unit over there.

Here we go, nd-12, detective.

Thanks, boss.

Whatever happened
to team spirit?

I mean that tape cassette
wasn't cheap.

- Where's raymond?
- Lieutenant coleman?

Good morning.

Sharon fein. A new member
of the p.d. Department.

Just spent 2 months
in rotation out in farmingdale.

Welcome to the hill, ms. Fein.
We'll try to keep you busy.

Thanks, lieutenant.

Oh my... Gotta be a new p.d.,
Neal.

Hey, hey, come on, lover,

Let's get this guy
down to holding.

Please, god,
let her take this case.

[Struggling]

[Indistinct]

It ain't easter, all right!
Come on.

Pcp?

Maybe.

Sgt. Hunter assigns cases.

The interrogation room.

[Yelling continues]

Is it usually so...

Yeah well,
it can get pretty rough,

But you'll get used to it.

You'll see,
when a day starts like this...

Ow! My finger! Ow!

Usually they end up quite calm.

[Siren]

[Theme music plays]

Counselor, ricardo diaz.

Burglary, controlled substance,
interrogation.

Thank you, sergeant.

Sarge, on that undercover
with me and russo, now look.

I got nothing
against her personally...

I know that you prefer
to work solo, detective.

But I need a couple undercover.

Okay.
You remember I mentioned to you

I had
a couple of personal things?

Duly noted.

Work it out with officer russo.

Larue: hey mick,
you still looking for a vehicle?

I'm going down this afternoon
to look at one.

Larue: let's hold the phone,
my friend.

You know my brother-in-law,
robs lock?

He calls me up, says do I know
a guy who would like a favor.

Beware of brothers-in-law
with him.

Funny. An '83 dodge diplomat,
one owner.

If you take it
without the body work,

It's 250 over his cost.

What body work?

A couple of dimples, nothing.

Hey, if he hammers 'em out,
the price goes up 8, 900.

Uh.

Hey, call him up yourself, huh?

I'm not selling it.

Excuse me.

No problem.
Detective larue?

Yes, ma'am, and you're...

I'm sharon fein,
the new p.d. Here.

Pleasure, sharon.

I'll representing
joseph scornevako.

Heavy duty case that,
very complicated.

Look, I don't normally offer,

But since you're new,

If you want
a pre-interrogation session

To go over pertinent details,

I'll make myself available.

Uh, thank you, detective.

But for the moment all I need
are you assignments
and your 816s.

[Mouths words]

7 Priors, no resisting.

I didn't break into that store.
That's period.

But you were caught hiding in
a dumpster behind the g*n shop.

I was waiting for my girlfriend
to come down there, all right?

The police found
burglar's tools in the dumpster

And half a gram of cocaine
in your back pocket.

I know these may seem like
petty charges to you, mr. Diaz,

But you're facing
a parole violation

That can send you back to
prison for 6 years.

If you want me to help you,

You've got
to trust me with some facts.

I've got facts.

Good.

Let's start with the night of
your arrest, where were you...

I've got some facts
they want to know about.

- Who?
- The police, man!

- I've got some heavy facts.
- Such as?

Such as, you know
there are certain politicians

With storefronts up here,

But one of them made
some bad enemies, man, real bad.

What do you mean?

Blam!

They're gonna blow his place
straight to hell tonight.

Could you tell me a little more?

If I tell you more,
I've got nothing to deal.

This is privileged, mr. Diaz.

They won't find out anything
that hurts you,

But I need enough
to be credible.

I am not spending a 6-pack
in the hole, man!

Do you understand
attorney-client privilege,
mr. Diaz?

It's migueles. San juan libre.

Against a garfield guy, okay?

I boosted the dynamite
for migueles

A couple of weeks ago.

Let me talk to the captain.

I think we can do
something with this.

Hey, what's up?

as*ault two, gentlemen,
an eyewitness at this address,

Victim at mercy.

You can stop by
and take his statement.

Oh, I love
cleaning up after nightshift.

Mm-hmm.

- I'm out about an hour.
- All right.

No, I can't totally vouch
for him, but it sounds real.

Tell me more.

I've already told you enough
to bring in the d.a.

How does a low-rent thief like
diaz get involved in bombings?

Attorney-client privilege,
furillo.

What does your client want?

The narcotics dropped,

The burglary down
to an a misdemeanor,

6 Months max,
no parole violation.

Sweet deal, considering
his prints are inside
the g*n shop door.

I'd say you get
the better half of the exchange.

Tell me one thing,
is the planned att*ck political?

Or animal, vegetable,
or mineral?

Come on, frank, call irwin.
Time's short.

Raymond, see if you can
raise a.d.a. Bernstein for me.

I guess this is
the end of the heat wave.

Yeah.

[Sighs]
maybe nothing's happening

Because we don't look
involved enough.

This guy steals people's purses
when they're kissing,

So maybe we need to--

I think we look pretty
convincing.

Mick, it's only an assignment.

Do you really think
it's necessary?

Look, you're the one
who told me about undercover.

You want
to be here until spring?

No.

All right. I'm shutting my eyes
and pretending you're robin.

Me, too.

Now remember I've gotta
check rob nelson's car.

Okay, I'll meet you
at the coffee shop.

I'm very sorry, it was the only
appointment I could get.

[Sighs]

Hey, fellas!

It was all just in my wallet.

Mr. Hopkins, you say
a large black man assaulted you?

Six feet, more maybe.

Mr. Hopkins,
we just talked to an eyewitness,

A ms. Baker,
who said she saw your neighbor,

Danny lopez, b*at you up.

So why don't you tell us
the truth, sir?

I told her no police.

We're going to have
to check this out

Whether you help us or not,
mr. Hopkins.

Was it danny lopez?

He's 18 years old.

His little sister elena
is only 11.

Their grandmother
was all they had.

When she d*ed last month,
I promised...

Don't bring danny in,
he's a good boy.

There's no one else to take care
of her but him.

So why did he as*ault you?

Something happened.

I was with--

I came...like I always do.

I checked on the little girl
while he was at work.

And danny...

I can't.

All right, all right,
mr. Hopkins.

Just tell me what happened.

He was...

With his sister...

You know how I mean?

His beautiful little sister.

I know, I saw them.

He b*at me.
That was why, because of her.

Blue book
value on this baby is,

You don't even want
to know the blue book.

Actually, I'd like to see it.

Well, when we get back,
no problemo.

The way this works,
as I explained to j.d. Here,

Let's say I get an overload
of late model sedans,

I get an '83 dodge,
I pass it right on through.

That's a pretty sweet deal.

Hey, you guys
always treated me real good.

Whew.

Toasty.

A little crazy glue.

- The steering is funny.
- Oh?

Never drive power steering
before, detective?

No, I drive it.

Ah, a little shimmy.
Take it to a brake shop,

They'll charge you 40 bucks
to fix it.

If I gotta take care of it--

Yeah, I know the price
goes up 8, 900.

Stay right there,
you won't get hurt!

What's, uh,
what's the problem here?

It's a robbery.

Oh, a little excitement huh?

It's time to snap
on the old seatbelts here.

Uh, well, hey, detective,

Don't you think maybe we could
call this one in, huh?

How about it?

On what?
You got a radio in here?

Oh, no, but look,
let's wait a minute here. Okay?

[Car honks]

I tell you, this car just came
on the lot today.

There's no insurance
on this car.

Do you understand--
no insurance!

Look out!

[Yelling]

Argh!

Raymond, would you deliver
mr. Diaz back to holding,
please?

Let's go, migueles.

Did you drop
some change on me, diaz?

- No way, man.
- Huh?

Senor miqueles down
at garden level here.

Yeah, well you're over, ricky,
you're done! You got it?

Could somebody
get my attorney please?

Would somebody
get that lying bitch?

You sold out my client,
and you sold me out.

I didn't sell out anyone,
counselor.

As of this moment,
I don't how we got to migueles.

You don't know? 40 Minutes
after our conversation

You've got him in custody.

I call that a hell
of a coincidence.

I'll find out what happened,

But I guarantee you
what didn't happen is,

I didn't go to buntz and tell
him to pick up somebody based

On an unconfirmed report
from your client.

Besides,
you never mentioned migueles!

I didn't have to!

You or daniel's red squad
or somebody figured it out.

Without any help from me!

You're right,
it sounds like the red squad.

Buntz is precinct liaison.

Look, just give my client
his deal.

You got what you wanted.

Pardon me, but I don't
see a basis for negotiation.

You don't?

Mr. Diaz had information

On a major league bust
which I passed on to you.

You know
I can't sell that to bernstein,

Not on a career criminal,
not on a parole violator.

And what am I supposed
to tell my client? Sorry?

Sergeant,
I'd like to see mr. Diaz
in interrogation, please.

- All right.
- Howard, where's norman?

Um, downtown
for a search warrant, I believe.

Send him in as soon
as he gets back.

What'd I tell you?

I told you the car was
uninsured, but you wanted

To go play cops and robbers
with another man's car.

And to top it off
you don't even catch the guy!

Oh, I love it, just perfect!
Really perfect!

I smashed up a private citizen's
car tracing a perp.

- Was anyone hurt?
- No.

You don't know that, you don't
know how my neck feels!

I'll call city services,
they'll send an ambulance.

Thank you.

Oh great,
another day of bureaucracy.

I was doing you a favor, pal!

I still need those 816s,
detective.

Paperwork takes time, sharon.

You know, if you'd like
I could summarize

The information for you orally.

J.d., We've gotta talk,
excuse us.

I'll be right back.

Do you think I could get those
816s off of you, detective?

What do you want?

Come on, your guy wrecked
the car, our deal's off, john.

Hey it's not my problem,
I still get paid, don't i?

You still want a finder's fee?

Would you dial down
the moral outrage, rob?

I provided you with one customer
per advertised.

The idiot smashed the car!

The idiot gave you the keys
to a goldmine.

You collect from the city.

You get the car
out of the junkyard.

And you sell it again!

Don't tell me
how to do business, john!

You're telling me
that's not your intention?

You're telling me I don't
deserve 20% of all settlements?

Eat dog meat, j.d.

I told you,
I ain't talking to you,

I want a new lawyer!

I share your anger, mr. Diaz,

But a new lawyer
won't change your situation.

You went and told
your old man everything!

Yeah, you don't think
I know the score?

A guy in the pen told me,
you're married to the captain!

That has nothing
to do with this.

I ask for a lawyer
and they gave me mrs. Captain!

If captain furillo is to blame,
we will go after him in court.

That is a lie!
You sold my ticket!

I'm going to jail and jorge's
people are going to stake me!

I'm angry, too, and I want
to find out what happened
as badly as you do.

Let me help.

Forget about it, lady,
you're history.

I'll get somebody else to help
me buy my ticket back!

My brother's not here.

Are you elena lopez?

We're police officers.
May we come in and talk to you?

Danny said
not to let anybody in.

That's real good advice.

That's the same advice
I give my little girl.

How old is she?

Oh, she's just a little girl,
2 years old.

Could we just come in
for a minute?

It's real important.

It's a mess in here.
I just got back from school.

Is it just you and your brother?

Look at this picture, now.
Who is this?

This is your mom.

And then this is you.
And this is danny, right?

A few years ago.

Elena, do you know
a mr. Hopkins?

Yes.

He got hurt real bad,

And we have to find out
what happened to him.

I don't know what happened.

Look, I know it's hard, honey,

But it would help
if you could just sort of

Tell us in your own way.

I mean, that's what
I want my little girl to do,

Is just kind of tell it her way.

Elena, a neighbor of yours
saw danny b*at up mr. Hopkins.

Danny didn't do anything wrong.
He takes good care of me.

Now, we will not--

We will not let you
get hurt again.

Danny said not to say anything.
I promised and I won't.

Where is danny?

I don't know.

We need to talk to him.

I don't know where he is!

According to your arrest report,

Scornevako didn't offer
any resistance this morning.

Under the circumstances,
I was wondering if you would

Oppose our bail agreement.

It's up to the da, I'm afraid.

I'm sorry to interrupt.

Sharon, I need you to take over
one of my cases.

Oh, I'll be right with you.

I thought we might have
some time to talk.

I was hoping you'd help me learn

To get the feel of this place.

Are you free tonight?

Yeah, I think so.

How about dinner?

Oh, if you'd rather not--

No, no.

Why not?

Oh, great!
I'll talk to you later.

Are you, uh, finding your
way around okay, counselor?

Uh huh.

I'm telling you, neal,

There's a chemistry
between me and that chick.

Well just, cool down, lover,

Because she just asked me out
on a date.

What do you mean?
I wasn't on city business.

I was chasing a robber.
That's what cops do!

Your own statement
makes it clear.

You were off duty, test driving
a car for private purchase.

Right!
When the incident went down.

Detective,
I work for the city, all right?

I go by the city's right.

I've never,
ever heard of this before.

It happens to be new
as of january 1,

As the result of abuse
by your own fellow officers!

If you're off duty and there
is no resulting apprehension,

There is no reimbursement!

Oh, so if I'd have arrested
an innocent citizen,

I could have covered my butt!

Detective, please!

I sympathize.

The car owner has
zero insurance,

That leaves me on the hook.

Look, here's what you do.

You explain the situation
to them

And settle
for 50 cents on the dollar,

They'll be happy to take it,
believe me.

That's still $2,000!

Hey, the dough you cops make,
compared to us civil servants?

Be a little grateful, detective.

What happened,
did you get another date?

Are you okay, mick?

Eh...

Great.

First they send me mrs. Captain,
now I get barbie.

I want a man lawyer.

Let's just stick to the business
at hand, all right, mr. Diaz?

Then you tell me,
how they got migueles
without her diming on me?

- Please sit down, mr. Diaz.
- You tell me!

Mr. Diaz, I will not continue
to speak to you

If you use
that tone of voice with me.

I want to know what's going on!

And I am warning you,
don't come any closer!

You are going to tell me
what's happening here!
I got it all set.

Halt!

- What is that?
- I mean it!

Give me the g*n, little girl!

This is it.
This is the ticket.

Man:
counselor, are you all right?

No! No!

Aah! Aah!

Stay still, lady.

You be quiet now,
still and quiet.

Put down the g*n.

No way, man.

I've been messed over enough.
Now I say what goes on here.

Out of here!

- What do you want?
- Out of here!

Let her go.
We can work this out.

Just get out of my way, man.

Talk ain't got
me this far before.

You fold your hands and pray
there's no one out in the hall,

Because if I get it from behind,
I sh**t.

I go, she goes!

Mr. Diaz, mr. Diaz,
I'm lieutenant goldblume.

If you'll talk to me...

Now everybody
wants to talk nice!

I want car keys,
an unmarked car with a radio.

- Car keys!
- Here.

Yeah. At the curb out front.

Good.
I'll be tuned into that radio.

You follow me, I hear you.
So don't follow, understand?

Say bye-bye to wifey, captain.

No!

You better pray they ain't
sending no messages about us.

[Woman over radio]
22-02 domestic at...

Where do you want me to go?

It don't matter,
the highway, anywhere.

You get me out of here,
I won't hurt you.

Woman: 22-02 we copy.

All right.
Word with a ticket.

Oh, you got an idea?

I would ask if you had a g*n,

But I don't ask
liars no questions.

Are you trying something?

- No, it's the car.
- I'll do it. I'll do it!

Pump it! Pump it!

I did, I think it's flooded.

Get out! Get out!

Woman [over radio]:
possible 2-11 in progress
91st and ogden.

Area units respond.

[Shop bell]

May I help you?

- Car keys, give 'em to me.
- I don't have a car.

Like hell!
Give me the keys.

Take my money, I don't care.

Car keys!

I swear to you, I don't have a--

[g*nsh*t]

Pockets! Get the keys!

Try not to move...

Shut up! Check his pants!

It's true, there are no keys!

I gotta get a car!

Ow!

[Sirens]

Get bernstein, get buntz
and inform henry I'm moving.

Woman [over radio]: patrol b,
c and d to hostage scene,

All others retain sectors.

What the hell
is going on over there?

Peter and anti-crime personnel
responding.

I mean with a hostage.

Davenport! Mrs. Furillo.

No communication with interior
premises as of yet.

2203, Is flaherty present?

Flaherty.

I've got a call
from uptown impound.

Serial numbers on a wreck
up there match

The 642
on your stolen tape deck.

No kidding! Way to go cops!
Thanks! Did you hear that?

I heard it.

You want to tone down
our concern about our tape deck,
right now?

Well excuse me
for being slightly relieved.

Look, I'm very concerned
about mrs. Furillo.

If I was the captain,

I'd bust through that window
and blast that guy,

And that's the honest truth!

Stupid honest truth!

Hey would you lighten up, huh?

All right, I won't be relieved
that they found my tape deck,

Okay?

That impound lot's
in our sector.

Diaz, how about just letting us
know everybody's okay inside.

If we know everybody's healthy,
it makes it easier.

Pay phone inside, no luck yet.

Mr. Diaz,
the captain's here now.

So we could start straightening
this misunderstanding out.

You want me to try it?

- What do you think, frank?
- I think I ought to do it.

- I think you're right.
- Let me get you a floor plan.

Until then, we stay passively
presented north and west.

We will be taking
the utmost care, captain.

Mr. Diaz, at least signal me.

Is the phone ringing?

What is he, dead?

I didn't mean...

I'm trying to save his life.
I can't stop the bleeding.

I didn't want to k*ll anybody.

I wanted my ticket.
You messed me over!

- It's your fault! You lied!
- I told you I didn't lie.

Look, are there any paper towels
on the shelf?

I don't know what to do.

Then help me!

[Phone continues ringing]

I don't want him to die.

They caught me,
I wasn't even in the place.

Look, then pick up the phone
and tell them that.

Start talking,
because this man is badly hurt.

It stopped ringing.

It stopped.
I don't want him to die.

- Then check.
- I never k*lled anybody!

- Do anything.
- No, no shouting. You hear me?

This is practically a diagram

Of wilcox's inexperience.

Perry and webster, the trumps.
Brewster at 100 yards.

Maybe you should call him up
and give him some help.

I shall do just that.

Any word?

None.

Ms. Fein,
might I ask what you were doing

With a g*n in interrogation?

I didn't know.

I wasn't thinking.

You didn't know that weapons are
forbidden inside this precinct?

I got a carry permit

When I joined the p.d.'S office.

If anything happens to her...

I'd exchange myself
if it would do any good.

That's a noble thought,
ms. Fein,

But you have several clients
waiting for representation.

I can't work with this going on!

Of course you can.

You must. You think I wouldn't
rather be at that site myself?

My job is here!
I'm needed here.

Raymond, get ms. Fein

That file on the r*pist
that henley brought in.

Go on, now.

Mcelroy, building engineer.

I was checking your
broken air duct,

Interrogation a.

Found this little mic.

This is it! You see?

Pf. I scratched it there.

I'll see if I can voucher it.

We might need it
as evidence, though.

Temporary dealer's license?
Louie?

Is this the car the officer
from hill street

Wrecked this morning?

Yeah, he did
one heck of a job, huh?

What's that? What'd you say?

The radio's in the car
that belker's on the hook for.

This is
larue's brother-in-law's car.

22-02 What's the deal
on this hostage situation?

Keep this channel clear
for official communications.

No, I'm just curious.

Oh my god, isn't that the kid
from the pictures?

Okay, just forget this.
Forget it.

Danny lopez?

- Yeah?
- You're under arrest.

[Indistinct]hopkins.

You're taking me in for b*ating
up that piece of garbage?

You have a hell of a lot of
attitude, don't ya, boy?

Yeah, I did what I did.

Well, how's
your sister feel about that?

You leave my sister out of it!

Piece of garbage in there.

Danny: hey,
I don't care what you do to me,

You just leave my sister
out of this!

If I were you, I'd shut up.

The chief wanted me to express
his personal concern, frank.

Thank you. How is she?

We don't know,
he won't pick up the phone.

[Ringing phone]

Look,
let me negotiate with them.

We've got to get this man
out of here, I can do it.

I don't listen to you.

You've got to, this man
is dying, don't you see?

No matter what you think of me,
no matter what happens to me,

If you get out of here,

You'll be slapped
with a m*rder charge.

A few hours ago the most
you faced was 6 months.

You are not on my side.

I understand you never meant
for any of this to happen.

I want all of us
to get out of here alive.

You want you to get
out of here alive, maybe him.

The minute I step out this door,
they blow me away!

Not unless you give
them a reason to sh**t.

Diaz: who you kidding, lady?

They lied to me so far.
They lie then they sh**t.

Then do it this way.
Keep me.

Let me negotiate
to take the man out.

We go back into the storeroom,
shut the door.

We've got do something, ricardo,

He's not going to last much
longer without help.

Yeah.

Mr. Diaz?

Mr. Diaz, this is
lieutenant henry goldblume.

Please stay on the line.
We want to work this thing out.

Yeah, right.
I'm putting mrs. Captain on.

You mess with me now,

And mrs. Captain dies,
you understand?

We understand, mr. Diaz.

Put ms. Davenport on the line.

- Joyce?
- I'm all right, frank.

But the store owner
is badly hurt.

We've got
to get him out of here.

We'll get you all out.

Mr. Diaz doesn't feel this is
the time for an overall deal.

Deal myself to dead,
right, great idea!

But he will help
to save the man's life.

Tell him I got conditions!
Two conditions.

Mr. Diaz will let you in here
on two conditions.

No more charges
because I popped a dude.

Not if he dies.

There's no way they'll go along.

- He's not going to die.
- That's what I'm saying.

That's why we're doing this.

Condition one,
no charges against him

On the sh**ting
assuming the man lives.

And I take you back there.

And two, he and I go back
into the storeroom.

You come in,
mrs. Captain is dead.

Joyce, I want you out of there.

I think we've got
a chance negotiating

With mr. Diaz for my release

If you carry the injured man
out of here first

And give him
a reason to trust you and me.

I don't trust you.

Tell diaz we meet his conditions
provided the man lives

And you are eventually brought
out unharmed.

I ain't harming her,
just don't come in!

Ahh!

- Come on in!
- Right, okay.

Out here.

That does it.

Man: mr. Diaz, do you hear this?

The store owner is going
to survive.

He is going to make it.

Looks like you turned out to be
an express ticket, mrs. Captain!

Will you trust me now?

Yeah, as long as I got this.

So, now what do we do?

Continue negotiating.

You'll probably have
to do some time.

I think I can keep it
under a year.

Forget it.
We're going for total amnesty.

That's not realistic.

You have to give them something,
that's how a negotiation works.

I'm the client,
you're the lawyer, okay?

You ask them.

He wants total amnesty?

Joyce, say yes or no.

If we give it to him,
will he just think it's a trap?

I don't know, a good chance.

What are they saying, no?
Give me that.

- This is me, who is this?
- Captain furillo.

I don't want
her talking to you,

You two already messed me up!

Frank, let's do it.

He's got your wife in there.
The owner's alive.

The rest of it,
I don't give a damn about.

With due respect warren,
if it would work, of course.

But I can hear it in her voice,
he's gone over the edge.

If we offer him total amnesty,

I don't think
he's going to believe it.

Then we're lost with no place
to go.

With due respect, captain,
then what in the hell else
do we do? Huh?

The process of negotiating
is small steps.

She saying small steps.

[Ringing phone]

I've got
nothing more to say to them!

They've gotta let
me out of this!

Or what?
You k*ll me and they sh**t you?

Or you k*ll me
and then k*ll yourself?

I don't trust them!

It worked with the back room,
they didn't come in.

They always find
a way to jam you up, man!

One thing or another!

You're not thinking
straight, ricardo.

We'll have them on record
this time.

Please, let me.

I'll offer this morning's deal

And knock off 3 months
for their bad faith.

- Lieutenant goldblume?
- Yes.

My client re-proposes
his original deal.

No parole violation,
class a mis.,

And only 3 months instead of 6.

Since my client's actions today

Have been the result
of serious duress.

Yeah, you got it!

Duress! I got duress!

Let me check it with the a.d.a.

Lieutenant, let's not
waste time on this.

Listen man, I got duress!

I want 10 days, max!

- What?
- You got it? 10 Days!

He's asking for a further
reduction, and he sounds weird.

Mr. Diaz,

If we can work out
this 10 days idea,

Would you come out?

No I
don't want 10 days, either.

What am I gonna do with a lot
of bologna sandwiches?

Give me that freedom.
Total amnesty.

Is that what you want, mr. Diaz?
The impossible?

Fellas, I hate
to be the one to say it,

I know they're
kind of tight in there.

What about taking this guy out?

Damn it warren, calm down.

We need just some reason,
anything,

So when we give
in he'll believe us.

He's got the captain's wife
in there, for goodness sake.

Which reminds him
not to believe us.

Why don't we make
a false confession,

Say we lied to him about
migueles, and we're sorry?

Where have you been?

Raiding a warehouse
full of expl*sives.

Captain, I got migueles

Because the interrogation room
was bugged.

What?

Carp, from communications,

Planted a bug in an air duct.

It had nothing to do with me,

And it wasn't even supposed
to be serious.

Carp thought a typist
was bringing her boyfriend

Down there for lunch break.

But you knew there was a bug?

Carp came to me.
He says he was testing it out,

And he hears
this thing about bombing,

What was I supposed to do, huh?

What you're supposed to do
is report bugs

And discipline
the personnel who placed them!

What you do now is come with me.

[Phone rings]

Hello?

Mr. Diaz, come here and listen.

Look, uh, ricardo, this
is lieutenant buntz.

We got migueles because that
room you were in was bugged.

See,
I told you it was like that.

So your attorney didn't know.
The captain didn't know.

And I guess we've violated
some civil rights.

Diaz, it's the only reason

The d.a. And I are offering
you what you want.

No jail time, probation.

All right, no crap now.

Mrs. Captain,
I'm taking her in here.

Unfortunately,
we have to give you

What you want because
we violated your civil rights.

Before we accept, captain,

What's the point of probation
even if you admit

You violated my client's
civil rights?

Well, look, probation merges
with his parole.

He just continues to see
his parole officer.

Do you understand that,
mr. Diaz?

All right.
I can live with that.

Nice and easy, mr. Diaz.

Nice and easy.

Just lay the g*n down.

That's right.

Just lay it down
and keep coming this way.

We'll go back to the precinct,
mr. Diaz,

Then we'll process this matter.

Yeah, all right.

[Applause]

I don't know what to say to her.

An apology might be appropriate.

Would it be all right
if I took care of a few things?

Just 15 minutes
and we can go home.

Frank, I'm not going
to take the diaz arraignment.

Of course not.

But I've got
to bring somebody up to speed.

Not here. Sorry. Got to.

Raymond, find carp for me,
would you?

Yes, sir.

- Lieutenant norm buntz?
- Who wants to know?

This is state senatorial
candidate garfield.

Lieutenant, I want
to personally thank you.

Who knows how many innocent
people might have been hurt

Had that b*mb
gone off at my storefront.

Yeah, glad I could help.
Excuse me.

Lieutenant?

Carp, ahem,

The captain's gonna can you.

Do you see that?
That's candidate garfield.

Tell him about that bug you put.
You tell him norm buntz

Recommends you for any kind
of plumbing job, all right?

Ah, detective.

Wrote the note.

36 Even monthly payments.

Sir, you rob nelson
of robert's motors.

Who wants to know?

You're under arrest for
possession of stolen property.
Come with.

Carstair 692 tape cassette
player

Owned by me
in a vehicle owned by you!

Oh come on,
this has gotta be a frame-up!

You'll never prove
criminal intent, pal.

Maybe not, but just think
of all those court appearances,

Mr. Nelson, the attorney fees,
not to mention your own time.

[Rips paper]

A goodwill gesture.

That's so I don't press
charges personally,

But if we find any other stolen
stuff in your heap,

Forget about it!

We go full steam and put your
butt in the hoosegow!

Elena, we had
to take danny into custody.

He said he b*at up mr. Hopkins.

Now mrs. Jackson
here from the youth authority

Is going to watch you
for a while, okay?

Danny takes good care of me.
Put me in jail with danny.

We can't do that, dear.

Elena, we know some bad things
happened to you.

If you could just talk
about them.

Why does danny
have to go to jail

Because that terrible man
touched me?

Mr. Hopkins touched you?

He was always coming
by after school.

He said not to tell danny,
danny would be mad.

But danny saw
what mr. Hopkins was doing.

Danny wasn't mad at me.
He was mad at mr. Hopkins.

[Indistinct]

I believe her. Stone cold.

The old bastard.

Danny said we couldn't tell.
He didn't want me to be ashamed.

Ready?

Uh, look,
are you sure you're up for this?

Detective,
I was shaken up today.

But I had
a good talk with myself.

And I'm not going to let one
mistake get the better of me.

Oh, um...

We are going to be meeting
another couple, okay?

Yeah, sure, fine.

- Disgusting.
- What's that?

That new p.d. Almost gets
davenport iced,

But does that interrupt her
social schedule?

No, have a nice time.

That should do it.

Come on, more new regs?

Change forced on us
by circumstance.

Henceforth all attorneys
are subject

To discretionary frisks same
as other visitors.

If you need a frisk on ms. Fein,
let me know.

Ooh, I don't think
I'm dressed for this place.

You look fine.

- Mom,
- hello, dear.

Dad, this
is detective neal washington.

How do you do?

I told you we'd be meeting
another couple.

Detective!

- How do you do?
- Won't you sit down?

Yes, won't you sit down?

Sharon is your cheek bruised?

Mother, I told you, I'm fine.

Were you
part of today's excitement?

No, sir.

I just can't believe
our daughter

Getting mixed up
in something like that.

I'd like a kir, please.

Scotch rocks. Double.

[Nervous laughter]

So.

Are you a basketball fan,
detective?

Yes, sir.

Well, who do you like to make
the playoffs?

- Walt frazier!
- One of the greats.

I saw him score
30 points in a quarter once!

Here we are, dear.

Okay, take it easy now.

Bang.

Come along, dear.

Oh, you were such a good sport.

That's my car.

Would you, would you
like to follow me home?

Is that my reward?

What do you mean?

For showing your folks how
liberal and independent you are,

For giving them a shock.

- That wasn't the idea.
- Oh, no?

Your mother couldn't even look
me in the eye.

And your father
could only babble about sports.

And I caught
you enjoying the whole thing.

Daddy's little girl,
getting back some of her own.

I'd stick to basketball
if I were you.

You know something,

People like you will always be
strangers on the hill.

And strangers always end up
causing trouble.

I don't need a lecture.

Then go back to farmingdale.

I guess this proves it.

He'd do anything
for a plea bargain.

I guess so.

I knew you were so close.

I knew...

I would have d*ed.
