PREVIOUSLY ON "HILL STREET BLUES..."

CAPTAIN, THERE'S COPS ON THE TAKE.

ONE STEP AT A TIME.

OFFICERS! EVERYBODY, HANDS ON THE TABLE!

YOU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? GET...

THE GUILTY VERDICTS ARE AGAINST REASON,

INSUPPORTABLE, AND I HEREBY VACATE THEM.

THE EYEWITNESSES WERE WEAK, BUT THEIR TESTIMONY WAS SOUND.

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A JUDGE

WITH AN IMPECCABLE SERVICE RECORD.

THAT WAS MY CAR BACK THERE!

WELL, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN PARKED IN A HANDICAP ZONE!

YOU GOT WHAT YOU DESERVED, BUDDY!

OH, YEAH? WELL, YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THIS, BUDDY!

YOU ARE UNDER ARREST!

ARE WE GONNA DO THIS DOUBLE-PARKED,

OR ARE YOU GONNA COME INSIDE?

YO, WHOA!

BECAUSE I'M IN A WHEELCHAIR, YOU THINK YOU CAN HANDLE ME?

WELL, IF I CAN'T, I'LL FIND SIX COPS WHO CAN.

MR. SELTZER'S IN THE MARKET FOR A TRADE.

- MY SECURITY FUND. - WHICH CONTAINS?

A LOT OF VOICES. A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS.

BADGE NUMBER 1146,

PATROLMAN H. HUNTER.

PAYOFF FOR DOUGLASS AND CAWLEY.

YOU'RE ON TAPE THREE TIMES.

IT'S ALL PRETTY MUCH THE SAME CONVERSATION.

BOBBY, BOBBY, BOBBY...

AND NOW, TONIGHT, ON "HILL STREET BLUES..."

YESTERDAY YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO TRY BEING A GIMP.

WHAT, DID YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND ALREADY?

YOU CAN'T COME WITH ME, GERRY.

DID WE RUIN A PERFECTLY GOOD RELATIONSHIP OR WHAT?

YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THAT.

I CALLED YOU TWICE.

I WAITED ALL DAY FOR YOU TO RETURN MY CALLS.

HE LOOK FAMILIAR TO YOU? COUNTY COURTHOUSE.

MAN, THAT'S JUDGE COLE.

THIS IS TOO SWEET.

THIS COULD GO ANYPLACE.

THIS COULD REACH INTO MY OWN OFFICE.

IT SCARES ME NOW KNOWING WHO TO TRUST.

WE COULD START WITH EACH OTHER, IRWIN.

INSTEAD, ALL NIGHT I GET THESE PHONE CALLS.

THEY TELL ME I'M A DEAD MAN.

BEN, I HAVE TO KNOW WHAT YOU'VE GOT.

IT'S WHAT YOU'VE GOT! YOU GOT A ROTTEN DEPARTMENT.

ITEM SIX.

LOOKOUT CONTINUES FOR HONKY, THE GUARD GOOSE,

NOW IN HOUR 38 OF DISAPPEARANCE.

TESTIMONY FROM FROM AFFLICTED GROCERS

AT THE DECCA MARKETS,

AND AN EARLY MORNING FRACAS THAT SENT ONE GERMAN SHEPHERD

TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD VET INDICATES THAT SAID GANDER

CONTINUES IN ITS WANTON AND CONSCIENCELESS ORGY

OF FOWL PLAY.

THAT GOOSE IS OUT THERE, FOLKS.

LET'S GET HIM!

ALL RIGHT, ITEM SEVEN.

DETECTIVE BELKER COMMENCES UNDERCOVER TODAY

AS ONE OF OUR CITY'S DISABLED CITIZENS.

THAT'S A FACT.

THE WHEELCHAIR WILL BE CIRCULATING

APPROXIMATE TO BANKS IN THE AREA,

BOUNDED BY ELMWOOD, NORTH DELAWARE, AND SUMNER STREETS.

NATURE OF THE UNDERCOVER COMMANDS AREA PATROLS

TO PARTICULAR ALERTNESS FOR BACKUP.

ALL RIGHT, ITEM EIGHT.

ROBERT HILL ENTERS THE SQUARED CIRCLE THIS EVENING

FOR WHAT HE CLAIMS WILL BE HIS FISTIC SWAN SONG.

8:30 SHARP AT EAST STREET GYM.

NOW, BOBBY TANGLES WITH VICE'S DWIGHT "BUTT-UGLY" STAFFORD...

FOR OUR DEPARTMENT'S MIDDLEWEIGHT CROWN.

TICKETS AT MORRISEY'S OR VIA OFFICER SCHNITZ.

NOW, LET'S REMEMBER, PROCEEDS RESUSCITATE

THE P.A.L. BOXING PROGRAM.

THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO RESUSCITATE DWIGHT STAFFORD

WHEN BOBBY GETS FINISHED TATTOOIN' HIS NOGGIN'!

WE WILL ROT OR BOTH SEAFARER AND SAFE RETURN TO PORT,

AND SECONDARILY THAT HILL CLEANS STAFFORD'S CLOCK.

ITEM LAST...

A CONTINUING REMINDER THAT BETTING WITH BOOKIES

OVER THE NEXT FORTNIGHT IS NOT ONLY FISCALLY IMPRUDENT,

IT CAN BUY YOU A BUST.

NOW ALL BETTINGS AND OTHERWISE ADVICE

SHOULD BE MANO A MANO.

ALL RIGHT, THAT'S IT. LET'S ROLL.

AND, HEY, HEY!

LET'S BE CAREFUL OUT THERE.

BOBBY! BOBBY! BOBBY...

BOBBY'S BAD! BOBBY'S BAD WHEN HE GETS MAD.

HE'S SUPERBAD! SUPERBAD, SUPERBAD!

HEY, LUCE, NO JOKES, PLEASE, I'M IN A LOT OF PAIN.

NO JOKES, I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU

HOW GOOD YOU LOOKED LAST NIGHT.

- WELL, THANKS. - GOT ME SOLVENT, TOO.

MY PLEASURE.

SO NOW, UH, WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

SHOULD WE LEAN OR SHOULD WE BACK OFF?

YEAH, COME ON, BOBBY, VICE IS ALREADY CALLING

ABOUT ACTION FOR TONIGHT.

OH, I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T KNOW.

RIGHT NOW, I'D MAKE ME EVEN MONEY TO LIVE.

HEY, SUPERCOP! HEY, NICE FIGHT.

HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY!

WHOO-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOO.

ARE WE READY?

READY FOR WHAT?

YESTERDAY YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO TRY BEING A GIMP.

WHAT, DID YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND ALREADY?

- NO, NO. - OKAY, THEN, LET'S GO.

WHERE'S YOUR CHAIR, HOTSHOT?

YOU CAN'T COME WITH ME, GERRY.

HEY, WE GOT IT ROTTEN ENOUGH OUT THERE

WITHOUT SOME AMATEUR GIVING US A BAD NAME.

THEY WON'T ALLOW IT. YOU COULD GET HURT.

OH, NOW, THAT'D BE TERRIBLE, WOULDN'T IT?

I MIGHT HAVE TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE IN A WHEELCHAIR.

I'M SORRY.

DETECTIVE... I REQUIRE A WORD WITH YOU.

SURE, LIEUTENANT. YOU OKAY?

NO, I AM NOT.

I WAS ABOUT TO ASSIST TWO UNIFORMS

ON AN OFF-DUTY ARREST LAST NIGHT

WHEN I DISCOVERED THAT MY SERVICE REVOLVER

WAS LOADED WITH BLANK CARTRIDGES.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

MY INFERENCE IS THAT YOU HAD ACCESS TO MY GUN

WHILE I WAS IN THE SHOWER YESTERDAY,

AND YOU REPLACED MY LIVE AMMUNITION WITH BLANKS.

LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.

YOU'RE MAD BECAUSE I KEPT YOU FROM KILLING YOURSELF.

THE ONLY THINK THAT YOU KEPT ME FROM DOING, DETECTIVE,

WAS BRINGING DOWN A FELON.

OH, YEAH?

WHAT DO YOU WANNA TELL ME ABOUT THAT?

WHAT, THE PHONE RANG, YOU GOT MIXED UP

AND ANSWERED THE IRON?

LIEUTENANT, I THINK YOU OUGHTA GO TALK TO THE CAPTAIN.

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TOUCH ANTHER OFFICER'S EQUIPMENT.

YOU AND I HAVE NOTHING FURTHER TO DISCUSS!

GOOD DAY.

♪♪

♪♪

CAPTAIN, IRV LUBOFF.

THOUGHT WE DID BUSINESS YESTERDAY.

I'VE GOT A WORRIED CLIENT HERE. MR. SELTZER...

I WOULDN'T TRY THE BAIT AND SWITCH IF I WERE YOU, BEN.

WE'VE COPIED YOUR TAPES, AND WE HAVE YOUR

SIGNED AUTHORIZATION TO USE THEM.

LOOK AT ME, CAPTAIN, NOBODY'S TRYING TO PULL ANYTHING.

WE GOTTA TALK.

YOU GOTTA GET ME A BETTER DEAL.

IN EXCHANGE FOR WHAT?

I'LL GIVE YOU SOMETHING IN EXCHANGE.

PLEASE, CAPTAIN.

NEAL, J.D.

THEY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN I WAS STAND-UP.

THEY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BEN SELTZER WAS A RIGHT GUY.

INSTEAD, ALL NIGHT I GET THESE PHONE CALLS.

THEY TELL ME I'M A DEAD MAN.

WHO DOES?

PROMISE ME...

GET ME RELOCATION, THEN I'LL TELL YOU.

BEN, WE HAVE TO KNOW WHAT YOU'VE GOT.

IT'S WHAT YOU'VE GOT! YOU GOT A ROTTEN DEPARTMENT.

YOU GOT A WHOLE DIVISION ON THE TAKE,

AND THEN THEY'RE GONNA KILL PEOPLE?

YOU BACK THAT UP AND YOU'LL HAVE YOUR DEAL.

OH, I'LL BACK IT UP. YOU JUST KEEP ME ALIVE!

AND NOT WITH NO VICE COPS.

BEN, I THINK A STIPULATION TO TERMS

MIGHT BE APPROPRIATE HERE.

I HAVE TO SEE SOMETHING ON THE TABLE.

BEN, I WOULDN'T GIVE BACK ONE

UNLESS WE HAVE SOME GUARANTEE...

YOU WANT A START?

- LITTLE SWITZERLAND. - BEN, SHUT UP!

THE LOCKERS AT THE 119TH STREET DEPOT.

THERE'S MORE PAYOFFS THERE THAN A BANK!

SHUT UP!

I WANT THIS AGREEMENT GUARANTEED

BY YOUR CHIEF AND THE D.A.'S OFFICE.

- WORK IT OUT. - YOU'LL RECOMMEND?

IF YOU'LL DELIVER.

YOU WANT HIM PROTECTED?

BEN'S INDICATED THAT HE HAS SOME...

DON'T TRY AND SELL A BUSINESS LIKE MINE

WITH A POLICE ESCORT.

ALL RIGHT, END OF BUSINESS, LATEST,

I WANT HIM OUT OF THE COLD.

LET'S GO.

BEN!

OKAY.

THINK HE'S DEALING US IN STRAIGHT, CAPTAIN?

PUT A TAG ON SELTZER.

I DON'T WANT HIM OUT OF OUR SIGHT.

STAKE OUT THE LOCKERS AT THE 119TH STREET DEPOT.

CONTINUOUS SURVEILLANCE BY CAMERA UNTIL I TAKE IT OFF.

GOT IT.

UH, CAPTAIN?

HAVE YOU SEEN LT. HUNTER TODAY?

NO. WHY?

OKAY, NOW, HE SWEARS I'M WRONG,

BUT I DON'T BUY IT.

I THINK HE PUT A GUN TO HIS HEAD LAST NIGHT.

I THINK HE TRIED TO KILL HIMSELF.

IF THAT'S TRUE. J.D.,

I NEED TO HEAR EVERYTHING YOU KNOW.

THE GUY WAS IN SUCH BAD SHAPE,

I DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE,

SO I PUT SOME BLANKS INTO HIS GUN.

NOW, HE COMES IN TODAY WITH SOME COCKAMAMY STORY

AND A BANDAGE ABOUT THAT BIG ON THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THIS YESTERDAY?

YOU DON'T SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT ON JUST A HUNCH.

BUT, CAPTAIN, THE GUY'S OUT ON A LEDGE.

YOU GOTTA TALK TO HIM NOW.

RAY, WHERE'S HOWARD?

SNIPER CALL, OAK STREET.

EXCUSE ME. HENRY, TAKE A RIDE WITH ME.

BLUE FOX ONE, HAVE YOU GOT ACCESS

ON THE SECOND SET OF STAIRS?

BLUE FOX ONE TO FOX LEADER,

NEGATIVE ON THE SECOND STAIRS.

BLUE FOX ONE, CONTINUE TO RECONNOITER.

COULD I SPEAK TO YOU FOR A MINUTE?

- NOW, FRANK? - HENRY WILL FILL IN.

ALL RIGHT, FIVE THE LIEUTENANT A READ ON THE POSITIONS.

ALL RIGHT. OKAY, LIEUTENANT,

WE GOT A LONE GUNMAN, LAST WINDOW

ON THE LEFT CORNER OF THE BUILDING.

HOWARD, I JUST HAD A TALK WITH J.D., AND I'M CONCERNED.

IT MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR YOU TO BE OUT HERE.

NOW, JUST A MINUTE, FRANK.

J.D. THINKS YOU TRIED TO KILL YOURSELF.

- THAT'S NONSENSE. - WHAT'S THAT?

THAT'S A HOUSEHOLD MISHAP.

OR A POWDER BURN.

FRANK, I AM FULLY ABLE TO MEET

MY PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES.

FOX ONE TO FOX LEADER,

WE'VE GOT A DUMBWAITER SHAFT. WE'RE CLEAR TO EXIT...

I'M HERE. FOX LEADER, FOX LEADER...

CAN YOU TAKE HIM WITHOUT INJURY?

HIGH PROBABILITY IF WE CAN DISTRACT HIM, SIR.

ALL RIGHT, BLUE FOX, I WANT YOU TO PREPARE FOR TEARGAS.

STAND BY.

BALLANTINE, PREPARE TO DEPLOY TEARGAS ON MY COMMAND.

BLUE FOX ONE TO FOX LEADER,

I WANT YOU TO MOVE IN ON HIM ON TWO COUNTS

AFTER THE TEARGAS GOES IN.

- DO YOU COPY? - AFFIRMATIVE.

- ARE YOU PREPARED? - AFFIRMATIVE.

STAND BY. YOU READY, BALLANTINE?

YES, SIR.

NOW.

BACKUP POSITIONS, LET'S MOVE!

GOT HIM, SIR.

ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS?

SEE ME AT THE STATION.

OH, I'M SORRY, LADY.

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, HUH?

HEY, ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME?

I SAW WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON!

EVERY CURB YOU COME TO, YOU GET OUT

AND LIFT THE CHAIR OVER!

THAT'S GOOD. THAT'S AUTHENTIC!

STOP FOLLOWING ME.

WHO SAYS I'M FOLLOWING ANYBODY?

I GOT JUST AS MUCH RIGHT TO BE ON THE STREET AS YOU DO.

NOT WHEN YOU'RE INTERFERING WITH POLICE BUSINESS YOU DON'T,

SO YOU TURN IT AROUND AND BEAT IT!

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO, BUST ME AGAIN?

YOU GOT IT.

HEY. HEY!

YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR MISTAKE IS, MAN?

YOU THINK IT'S JUST A GUY IN A WHEELCHAIR.

WELL, IT AIN'T.

I MEAN, IT'S AN ATTITUDE, MAN!

IT'S A WAY OF LIFE!

LOOK AT YOU. YOU'RE STANDING UP.

IT'S JUST LIKE I SAID, MAN, NO SOUL.

♪♪

HEY, EXCUSE ME, WOULD YOU TELL JIMMY

THAT BOBBY HILL'S HERE TO PICK UP HIS TICKETS?

HEY, BOBBY HILL. I SAW YOU WON YOUR FIGHT.

COME ON, I GOT YOUR NUMBER.

HOW YOU DOIN', BOBBY?

HEY, DID YOU GET YOUR MOUTHPIECE?

YEAH, WELL, I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THAT.

AND, NO, STEVE, I AIN'T GOT THE MOUTHPIECE YET.

- ANDY. - SEE, ANDY,

I GOT THIS PROBLEM IN THAT

I HAD TO SPEND SOME OF THE $20,

WHICH I APPRECIATED YOU GAVE TO ME.

FORGET ABOUT IT.

'CAUSE I GOT MY FIRST FIGHT SATURDAY,

AND I CAN PAY YOU BACK AFTER THAT.

SO... I WAS WONDERING, MAYBE,

IF I COULD BORROW A FEW MORE.

NO. NO WAY.

OH... OKAY.

WELL... THANKS ANYWAY.

UH, HERE YOU GO, BOBBY.

YOUR PEOPLE WANT RINGSIDE, YOU GOTTA COME EARLY.

OKAY, THANKS.

WRONG BOBBY, NUMBSKULL.

GOOD. RIGHT.

UH... I'LL SEE YOU GUYS.

DOES HE REALLY GOTTA FIGHT?

SHIELDS? SURE, HE DOES.

BILL HIM IRISH, PUT HIM IN WITH A BLACK GUY,

HE'LL DO SOME BUSINESS.

HE GOT A FUTURE?

YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT HIS FUTURE IS?

HE GETS FLATTENED TWICE, POCKETS A LITTLE CHANGE,

COMMISSIONER TAKES AWAY HIS LICENSE.

THEN HE MOVES TO ANOTHER STATE,

PUTS "IRISH" IN FRONT OF ANOTHER NAME,

AND HE GETS KNOCKED OUT SOME MORE.

THE FUTURE FOR HIM IS DROOLING INTO A CUP

AND STROKIN' OUT AT 50.

TEACH YOUR KIDS HOCKEY.

THEY'LL LIVE LONGER.

LET'S GO, STEVE.

HEY, THERE'S A SUSPICIOUS-LOOKING CHARACTER

IF I EVER SAW ONE... GET A PICTURE.

NAH, I'M DOWN TO MY LAST TWO SHOTS, BABY.

HEY, COME ON, WHO'S TO SAY SHE'S NOT THE CHIEF TRIGGER

FOR SOME CRAZED FEMALE ASSASSINATION GROUP?

YEAH, SHE COULD MURDER ME.

MAN, I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

- WHAT? - HUNTER..

TRYING TO DO HIMSELF IN.

MAN, THAT'S THE LAST CAT I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT.

NEAL, A GUY THAT'S WRAPPED THAT TIGHT,

HE POPS A MAINSPRING,

THE ONLY THING HE'S THINKING IS TO EAT HIS PIECE.

LOOK AT HOGAN IN SOUTH FERRY.

YEAH. KIMBLE IN CASTLE HEIGHTS.

MANOWITZ...

BAKER DID IT WITH AN ITALIAN NUMBER, .7 MILLIMETER.

SHANKEY...

YEAH, HE TOOK POISON.

HEY, WHAT ABOUT PEPPITONE?

HE SMOKED IT.

SAME AS APPLESON...

THEN ADDETTO.

MAN, IT MUST FEEL GOOD, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

I MEAN, STOPPING A SUICIDE.

YOU OUGHT TO KNOW, PAL.

YOU DID IT ENOUGH TIMES FOR ME.

- HEY. - HMM?

SEE THAT GUY OVER THERE?

MM-HMM.

LOOK FAMILIAR TO YOU?

YEAH, I DON'T KNOW.

COUNTY COURTHOUSE. MAN, THAT'S JUDGE COLE.

OH, NO. THIS IS TOO SWEET.

UH, LET'S TAKE IT REAL EASY, BRO.

YEAH, BUT LET'S TAKE IT.

WHAT'S HE DOING BACK THERE?

JOE, GET HIM UP, WOULD YOU?

COME ON, KID.

YOU CAN DO 60 MILES AN HOUR ON A CITY STREET,

YOU CAN SIT UP STRAIGHT.

IT'S THIS VINYL, MAN.

HAVE YOU EVER LOOKED AT THIS VINYL BACK HERE?

IT'S GOT... IT'S GOT, LIKE, THESE HOLES,

LIKE, LIKE, CRATERS ON THE MOON, YOU KNOW?

LIKE CRATERS ON THE MOON WITH LITTLE HOLES,

AND INSIDE, THERE'S, LIKE, THESE SHADOWS.

BEHIND THESE SHADOWS, THERE'S, LIKE,

THESE LITTLE THINGS WITH TORCHES...

LIKE LITTLE PEOPLE WITH TORCHES TRYING TO SIGNAL US.

YOU SEE WHAT DRUGS DO TO YOUR BRAIN?

YOU'RE TALKING LIKE A CRAZY MAN.

JOE, THERE'S A GOOSE OVER THERE ATTACKING A VEGETABLE STAND.

ALL RIGHT, YOU STAY PUT!

YOU SEE THAT ASHTRAY?

KEEP YOUR EYES ON THAT ASHTRAY.

DON'T GET OUT OF THE CAR, YOU UNDERSTAND?

GET OUTTA HERE, YA DUMB BIRD!

BEAT IT! OFFICERS, OFFICERS!

- COME HERE, WILL YA, PLEASE? - GOTTA BE HONKY, HUH?

PLEASE, OFFICERS, THE BIRD HERE... LOOK AT THIS.

- IT'S ALL OVER MY VEGETABLES. - I SEE THAT.

- SHOOT IT, GET RID OF IT! - WE'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

- ALL RIGHT. - CUFF HIM, LUCE.

THAT'S CUTE.

HOW DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS?

I'LL... I'LL JUST GO FOR HIM...

OH, SH...

I'LL GO LOW, AND YOU JUST GO HIGH, THAT'S ALL.

JUST...

TAKE IT EASY. HI... HI... HI, HONKY.

I'LL COUNT TO THREE, AND THEN WE'LL DO IT.

YEAH, THAT'S GOOD.

ALL RIGHT...

ONE, TWO, THREE.

NOW, WALK!

GET WITH ME AND WALK! LOOK OUT!

JOE...

HONKY, THE GUARD GOOSE, RIGHT?

OH, HE TOLD ME HIS NAME WAS CHUCK.

MUST HAVE BEEN A HELL OF A FIGHT.

THAT PART DIDN'T WORK OUT.

WE HAD TO FEED HIM ANIMAL TRANQUILIZER

ON A LETTUCE LEAF... HEY.

WHERE'D YOU GET ANIMAL TRANQUILIZER?

RIGHT HERE.

THIS KID WAS GOING 60 DOWN UTICA

IN A SPACESHIP, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

I THINK HONKY ATE HALF THE EVIDENCE.

LEO.

UH, "B" CELL IS EMPTY.

GIVE HIM A PAN OF WATER.

I'M GONNA CLEAN THE KID UP.

THEY HAD TO SHOW THE BACK OF THE UNIT.

OH, CAPTAIN, UH, WE HAVE SOMETHING TO SHOW YOU.

HERE, GET A LOAD OF THESE.

JUDGE COLE?

YEAH, OPENED UP THE LOCKER LIKE IT WAS

THE FRONT DOOR TO HIS HOUSE.

MM-HMM, BAG WAS KINDA HEFTY TOO.

- YOU TRAIL HIM? - BACK TO THE COURTHOUSE.

TOOK THE BAG INSIDE WITH HIM.

NOW, WE NAILED HEISLER ON A MANSLAUGHTER RAP.

IF COLE VACATES THE VERDICT, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BET

THERE'S MONEY IN THAT BAG AND IT'S COMING FROM HEISLER?

NOTHING TO SAY HE WASN'T PICKING UP HIS GYM SHORTS.

WE HAVE TO GET HIM ON TAPE.

I WANT TO GET A LOOK AT THAT BAG, TOO.

ALL RIGHT, HOW 'BOUT WE PLANT SOMEBODY ON HIS CALENDAR

AND SEE IF HE BITES ON A BRIBE?

FRANK.

ALL RIGHT, GRAB THE D.A.'S OFFICE THIS AFTERNOON.

LET'S SEE I WE CAN AVOID ENTRAPMENT.

- OKAY. - EXCUSE US, GENTLEMEN.

ALL RIGHT, WHAT'S THIS BOOKIE SELTZER GOT

THAT'S WORTH OUR GIVING HIM RELOCATION, FRANK?

HE CLAIMS HE CAN SUBSTANTIATE WIDESPREAD CORRUPTION.

CAN HE?

TAPES HE GAVE US YESTERDAY WERE AS ADVERTISED.

I UNDERSTOOD THEY WERE ALSO ANTIQUE.

HE GAVE US A DROP LOCATION FOR PAYOFFS,

WHICH TURNED UP JUDGE MILTON COLE.

"HEADS'LL ROLL" COLE?

WE'RE SENDING LARUE IN THIS AFTERNOON,

SEE IF HE'LL TAKE A BRIBE.

LARUE WILL BE WIRED?

GOOD FOR YOU.

SELTZER ALSO CLAIMS THAT MIDTOWN VICE

IS COMPLETELY COMPROMISED.

LET'S FOLLOW IT OUT, FRANK, WHEREVER IT GOES.

I INTEND TO, HAVING SAID WHICH,

I HAVE A FAVOR TO ASK.

SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOU'VE GOT ONE COMING.

IT'S ABOUT HOWARD HUNTER.

HE'S ON SOME OF SELTZER'S TAPES FROM 15 YEARS AGO.

WAS HE ON THE TAKE?

HE WAS A BAG MAN. HE NEVER TOOK A CENT.

WHAT DO YOU NEED, FRANK?

IF HE CAN BE SPARED AN I.A.D. HEARING.

- I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT. - THANK YOU.

FULL BORE ON THE REST FRANK IT, FRANK.

FULL BORE.

OCCUR TO YOU WHOSE PRECINCT THAT WAS?

YES.

COMMANDER CLEVELAND, OF MIDTOWN.

WOULDN'T THAT BE SOMETHING, FRANK,

IF OZZY GOT TARRED WITH THIS BRUSH?

I THINK THE WHOLE DEPARTMENT WOULD BE TARRED.

I DON'T THINK THERE'D BE ANY WINNERS, CHIEF.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

KEEP ME POSTED, FRANK.

HEY, HEY!

I GOT IT, MAN!

YOU ARE COOKED, DOG BREATH!

GIMME THAT MONEY! GET UP!

HE CAME OUT FROM BETWEEN THE CARS.

I DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO STOP.

ANYBODY GET THE LICENSE OF THAT TRUCK?

- DON'T MOVE. - I'M SORRY, FELLA.

YOU CAME OUT OF NOWHERE.

IT'S OKAY. MICK...

HOW, MICK, HOW'S THE CHAIR? IS THE CHAIR ALL RIGHT?

WOULD YOU FORGET ABOUT THE STUPID CHAIR?

YOU HURT ANYWHERE?

HOW WOULD I KNOW THAT?

- MOVE YOUR ARM. - EHH!

MOVE YOUR FINGERS.

IT'S OKAY, I'M ALL RIGHT.

HE JUST CLIPPED ME IS ALL.

GIVE ME BACK THE CHAIR, OKAY, MICK?

COME ON.

HE CAME OUT LIKE A CRAZY MAN! I COULDA KILLED HIM!

HEY, DON'T HAVE A COW, ALL RIGHT, BUDDY?

NO LAWSUIT!

HEY, WE GOT HIM, DIDN'T WE, MICK?

YOU ARE UNDER ARREST, DIRTBAG.

WHAT?

SHORT DATE FOR THE PRELIMINARY.

ILLEGAL POSSESSION AND DISCHARGE.

PRELIMINARY HEARING 1:00 P.M. TOMORROW.

- TEN-MINUTE RECESS. - ALL RISE.

HIS HONOR GOT A MINUTE? COURT BUSINESS.

CHAMBERS.

UH, JUDGE COLE

YES?

DETECTIVE JOHN LARUE, HILL STREET.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU, DETECTIVE?

JUST GIVE ME A COUPLE MINUTES OF YOUR TIME?

SHUT IT.

UH, I'M ONE OF THE ARRESTING OFFICERS

ON A CASE YOU GOT COMING UP... THAT BOY ROTHMORE?

YOU'RE ARRAIGNING THIS AFTERNOON.

AND?

I'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BACKGROUND.

AS LONG AS IT'S ONLY A LITTLE.

THIS KID'S GOT PROBLEMS,

MOST OF 'EM BEHIND THE WHEEL.

YOU GOT KIDS, YOUR HONOR, TEENAGERS?

TWO.

WELL, THEN, I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU

ANYTHING ABOUT KIDS.

THIS KID'S GOT GREAT PARENTS,

AND THEY'RE JUST SICK ABOUT THIS.

NOW, THEY REALIZE WALTER'S GONNA GET A FINE,

BUT THEY'RE REAL WORRIED, 'CAUSE IT'S HIS FIFTH OFFENSE.

FIFTH OFFENSE SHOULD BUY HIM 60 DAYS.

THERE IT IS. THAT'S THE TRAGEDY.

SEE, HIS FOLKS ARE HOPING HE'LL GET PAST THIS

AND GO ON TO COLLEGE.

BUT WITH THAT ON HIS RECORD...

YOUR POINT, DETECTIVE?

YOU SEE, WALTER'S PARENTS ARE INVOLVED

IN ALL SORTS OF CHARITY WORK.

NOW, WHAT THEY SAID TO ME WAS

THEY'D LIKE TO MAKE AN APPROPRIATE CONTRIBUTION.

$2,000.

IN RETURN FOR?

A LITTLE UNDERSTANDING OF THIS KID'S SITUATION,

A LITTLE LOOKING OUT FOR HIS FUTURE.

NOW, I THINK THE P.B.A. SHOULD GET HALF THE MONEY,

AND, WELL, SOME JUDICIAL CHARITY THE OTHER HALF.

I'M NT OPPOSED TO SHOWING A LITTLE MERCY...

IF THE OCCASION MERITS IT.

OH, I THINK IT DOES, YOUR HONOR.

I THINK THIS IS A SALVAGEABLE KID.

NOW, THEY WERE WONDERING THAT IF THEY DO MAKE

A CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTION...

COULD YOU CHOOSE IT FOR 'EM?

WHAT'S THAT?

$1,000 CASH...

FOR THE JUDICIAL CHARITY.

SUSPENDED SENTENCE?

THEY'LL REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

OH, THERE'S A COUPLE OFFICERS WAITING OUTSIDE TO SEE YOU.

- SHOULD I SHOW 'EM IN? - WHO?

THEY'LL INTRODUCE THEMSELVES.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

YOU'RE UNDER ARREST, YOUR HONOR.

JUST TRYING TO CALL YOU.

HENRY...

I'M SORRY, I SHOULD HAVE CALLED YOU BEFORE.

CAN WE TALK?

NOW?

SURE.

SO... DID WE RUIN A PERFECTLY GOOD RELATIONSHIP OR WHAT?

YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THAT.

I CALLED YOU TWICE.

I WAITED ALL DAY FOR YOU TO RETURN MY CALLS.

IT WAS INCONSIDERATE.

I DIDN'T HEAR YOU GO THIS MORNING.

I DIDN'T WANT TO WAKE YOU.

TELL ME THE TRUTH.

WERE YOU DISAPPOINTED WITH ME?

GOD...

NO.

WELL, THEN, WHY DID YOU LEAVE?

- I GUESS I WAS SCARED. - OF WHAT?

I DON'T KNOW.

DIDN'T PLEASE YOU, MAYBE.

ARE YOU KIDDING?

HENRY, YOU'RE A WONDERFUL LOVER.

THANK YOU.

DO YOU WANT TO GO TO THE SHORE FOR THE WEEKEND?

THIS WEEKEND?

YEAH, WE COULD LEAVE FRANK JR. WITH FRANK,

TAKE THE BABY WITH US.

YOU KNOW, NOTHING FANCY.

UH... YES.

OH... JUST GET AWAY.

- LET'S DO IT. - ARE YOU SURE?

YES, FAY, I'M SURE.

COME ON, MOVE!

I KNEW WHAT I WAS DOING!

YOU WERE TRYING TO GET YOURSELF KILLED, HUH?

I WAS LEADING HIM A LITTLE TOO FAR, THAT'S ALL.

YOU'RE GONNA LEAD HIM RIGHT INTO JAIL, NOSEBLEED.

I AM THROUGH WITH THIS FROM YOU.

NOW, YOU GO IN THERE AND WAIT FOR ME.

TAYLOR, HERBERT.

SUSPICION GRAND THEFT PERSON AND RESISTING ARREST.

HEY, WHAT ABOUT ME?

I THOUGHT I WAS UNDER ARREST, TOO.

I SAID GET IN THERE!

WHAT, ARE YOU DEAF TO PLAIN ENGLISH?

WHAT'S THE MATTER? YOU OKAY?

YEAH, YEAH, I'M OKAY!

I TOLD YOU A MILLION TIMES.

I JUST NEED SOME WATER. I'M THIRSTY.

OVER THERE, AND THEN I WANT TO SEE YOU AT MY DESK.

YEAH, YEAH, OKAY!

FRANK.

HOWARD.

I WAS WAITING FOR YOU TO COME SEE ME.

HERE I AM.

I WANT YOU TO KNOW I SPOKE TO CHIEF DANIELS

ABOUT THE TAPES.

WELL, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY NEED

TO PROTECT ME, FRANK.

I'M FULLY PREPARED TO CONFRONT

WHATEVER CHARGES THE DEPARTMENT WISHES

TO BRING AGAINST ME.

THERE AREN'T GONNA BE ANY, HOWARD.

BUT FRANKLY, I DON'T THINK DEPARTMENTAL CONSEQUENCES

SHOULD BE YOUR BIGGEST CONCERN RIGHT NOW.

WELL, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT WE'VE PROVEN

MY ABILITY TO DO THE JOB.

AND... ALL DUE RESPECT,

I'M NOT SURE THAT ANYTHING FURTHER IS YOUR BUSINESS.

I'M ALSO YOUR FRIEND.

FRIENDS RESPECT EACH OTHERS' PRIVACY.

PRIVACY, YES.

NOT HURTFUL ISOLATION, HOWARD.

AS YOUR CAPTAIN, I HAVE TO BE CONCERNED

ABOUT THE 20 PEOPLE WORKING UNDER YOU, TOO.

YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ONE MOMENT OF BEHAVIOR FROM ME

THAT WOULD GIVE YOU ANY REASON FOR CONCERN.

NOR WILL YOU.

I'M SORRY, BUT HANDLING ONE SITUATION IN THE FIELD

DOESN'T CONVINCE ME, HOWARD.

FRANK, I'VE GIVEN YOU NO CAUSE.

JUDAS, DON'T TAKE MY JOB AWAY.

THAT'S NOT MY PRESENT INTENTION.

BUT I'M ASKING YOU, PLEASE, TO SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP.

I'M URGING YOU TO...

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THAT'S NECESSARY.

I DON'T THINK YOU EVEN REALIZE WHAT YOU'VE DONE.

I BOTCHED A SUICIDE ATTEMPT.

I HAD A BOX OF LIVE SHELLS IN MY CLOSET,

AND AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A SECOND ATTEMPT WORK.

FRANK, I CHOSE LIFE.

COME ON, HOWARD, IF J.D. HADN'T DONE WHAT HE'D DONE,

YOU'D BE DEAD RIGHT NOW.

THERE'S NO NEAT CAPSULE YOU CAN FIT THAT INTO.

I'M ASKING YOU TO SEEK HELP.

PLEASE.

I'M ASKING AS A FRIEND.

WELL, AS A FRIEND... I'LL CONSIDER IT.

LET'S HAVE SOME ROOM!

- CALL THE PARAMEDICS. - WHAT HAPPENED?

HE WAS DRINKING WATER. I WAS BEHIND HIM.

HE KEPT DRINKING WATER, AND THEN HE JUST FELL OUT OF THE CHAIR.

GET HIS FEET ELEVATED.

ALL RIGHT, WE'RE GONNA NEED A BLANKET HERE.

BLANKET!

EVERYBODY STAND BACK.

HE'S NOT BREATHING.

MEDICS ARE ON THE WAY.

WHAT'S WRONG? WHAT'D YOU STOP FOR?

- HELP HIM. - I WAS JUST TALKING TO HIM.

COME ON, DAMN IT, BREATHE!

MOVE AWAY, MICK, PLEASE!

JEEZ, I WAS JUST TALKING TO HIM.

I WAS TOLD THEY WERE BRINGING IN JUDGE COLE.

JUST COMING IN NOW.

IRWIN, IRWIN, THERE'S BEEN A TERRIBLE MISTAKE.

GET HIM INTO INTERROGATION.

GET CAPTAIN FURILLO.

JUDGE COLE, YOU'VE BEEN ADVISED?

IRWIN, LISTEN TO WHAT I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU.

I'D SUGGEST YOU HAVE AN ATTORNEY PRESENT.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO NEED FOR AN ATTORNEY.

WHAT YOU'LL HEAR ON THAT TAPE IS

MY TRYING TO ELICIT EVIDENCE AFTER FELONIOUS SOLICITATION.

WHAT ABOUT THESE, JUDGE?

WHAT WERE YOU TRYING TO ELICIT IN THE BUS DEPOT?

I WAS IN A BUS TERMINAL.

WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO PROVE?

WE HAVE PICTURES OF YOU PICKING UP THE BAG OF MONEY.

WE HAVE THE BAG, $10,000 IN CASH INSIDE,

WE HAVE THE WIRE, AND WE HAVE YOU.

BUT I'M NOT GONNA PROSECUTE YOU, JUDGE.

I'M TURNING YOU. YOU'RE GONNA GIVE US FACES,

NAMES, AND PLACES.

AND THEN YOU'RE GONNA RESIGN IN DISGRACE,

WHICH IS WHAT YOU ARE.

CAPTAIN, I JUST GOT A CALL.

WE LOST THE TAIL ON SELTZER.

- DAMN. - HE SHOOK IT.

TRY TO PICK IT UP.

A CAT LIKE THAT'S GOT A LOT OF MOUSE HOLES.

I'M GETTING REAL BAD FEELINGS, FRANK.

ABOUT?

ALL OF IT.

YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE OPENLY MAKING AND RECEIVING BRIBES.

THAT ESTABLISHES HABIT AND DURATION.

IT ESTABLISHES A BELIEF OF IMPUNITY.

LET'S SEE WHERE IT GOES, IRWIN.

I'M TRYING TO MAKE A POINT, FRANK.

I KNOW, AND I'M SAYING TO TAKE IT EASY.

MY POINT IS THIS...

IF THIS IS IN THE FABRIC OF THINGS,

IF YOU'VE GOT A PERVASIVE CORRUPTION...

DRIVING UP, I'M THINKING THIS COULD GO ANYPLACE.

THIS COULD REACH INTO MY OWN OFFICE.

I'M A COMPANY MAN, FRANK.

IT SCARES ME NOT KNOWING WHO TO TRUST.

WE COULD START WITH EACH OTHER, IRWIN.

I'D APPRECIATE THAT.

I'D APPRECIATE HAVING SOMEONE TO TALK TO.

SAME FOR ME.

THANKS, FRANK.

SORRY ABOUT GETTING SO NERVOUS.

HEY, KANE.

- JOHN... - YEAH?

I WANT TO APOLOGIZE FOR MY OUTBURST THIS MORNING.

HEY, NO PROBLEM.

ESPECIALLY UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES.

IT WAS UNCONSCIONABLE.

I BELIEVE THESE ARE YOURS.

LIEUTENANT...

YOU FEELING OKAY?

YES.

YOU KNOW, IN JAPAN, YOUR SORT OF INTERCESSION

WOULD ENTAIL YOUR WATCHING OVER THE REST OF MY...

MY EARTHLY CAREER.

OH, YEAH.

I WANT YOU TO FEEL NO SUCH OBLIGATION.

THANK YOU, JOHN.

UH, HEY, IT'S OKAY.

IT'S OKAY.

I'M TOM SHORTER. I OWN THE GOOSE.

OH, SURE, MR. SHORTER.

HE'S RIGHT BACK THERE.

THE CELL DOOR'S UNLOCKED.

YOU CAN JUST TAKE HIM HOME.

THANKS.

I GAVE YOU ARTICHOKE HEARTS.

I BOUGHT YOU LIVE GRASSHOPPERS.

AND THIS IS WHAT YOU DO TO ME.

YOU OBEY OTHER PEOPLE.

YOU GO OUT ON YOUR OWN...

I OUGHTA WRING YOUR NECK.

LEO... LEO, WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THAT GOOSE?

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

YOU HAVE KILLED A DEFENSELESS ANIMAL.

I DIDN'T. I SWEAR.

I NEVER TOUCHED HIM.

I WALKED IN TO PUT THE LEASH ON,

AND HE JUST FELL OVER.

I COULD HAVE YOU ARRESTED FOR CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

WAIT A MINUTE, I COULD JUST SAY

I WAS GONNA EAT HIM.

THEN I'LL HAVE YOU ARRESTED FOR SLAUGHTERING LIVESTOCK

IN A PUBLIC AREA.

YOU KEEP DOING IT TO ME!

GET OUT OF HERE.

GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE I'M NO LONGER RESPONSIBLE

FOR MY ACTIONS.

POOR GUY. AFTER ALL HE WENT THROUGH.

MUST WEIGH 30, 35 POUNDS.

PROBABLY ALL DARK MEAT.

ICE.

UPSTAIRS REFRIGERATOR.

I THINK THERE'S A CONTAINER IN SUPPLY

THAT'S BIG ENOUGH.

- WE GONNA DO IT. - I'M GONNA KICK SOME BUTT.

WE GONNA SHOW SOME STUFF.

IF I DON'T GET HIM IN 30 SECONDS...

- CUT IT OUT. - THEN HE'S GONNA DO IT TO ME.

ROBERTO, WITH THOUGHTS LIKE THAT,

NORMAN VINCENT PEALE WOULD HAVE DIED BROKE.

- YEAH. - YEAH.

- YEAH. - YOU GONNA HURT SOMEBODY?

- I'M GONNA HURT SOMEBODY. - GONNA HURT SOMEBODY BAD?

- YOU GONNA CAUSE SOME MISERY? - YEAH, MISERY.

GET UP AND SHOW ME HOW YOU DO IT.

GET UP AND SHOW ME HOW. YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

HEY, HEY, HEY, WHAT YOU DOING?

I FORGOT MY COMBINATION.

IT'S 17 SOMETHING.

WE COULD ARREST YOU, BOBBY.

I GOT 13 BUCKS IN THERE!

FORGET THAT! FORGET THAT CRAP!

YOU WERE BREAKING IN THERE, WEREN'T YOU?

- WEREN'T YOU?! - YEAH.

I JUST NEEDED A FEW BUCKS.

GO ON.

NOW, I'M GONNA LET YOU WALK AWAY FROM THIS ONE, BOBBY,

BUT THAT'S THE LAST RIBBON YOU'RE GONNA GET.

ALL RIGHT. OKAY.

I'M SORRY.

TAKE OFF.

I'LL SEE YA, STEVE.

GOOD LUCK.

YES? HEY!

- HI. - HEY, HOW YOU DOING?

HOW'S HE LOOK? HOW'S HE FEELING?

MAMA? BOBBY?

HE'S SUPPOSED TO COME AROUND.

I WAS SUPPOSED TO MEET HIM AT THE STATION.

I DIDN'T THINK HE WAS GONNA BE LATE.

SAY GOOD NIGHT, GRACIE.

BOBBY, YOU HURT?

ONLY HIS PRIDE, JOSEPH.

AND MY HEAD AND MY BODY.

LISTEN, IF YOU'RE UP FOR IT,

WHY DON'T WE GO HAVE A BEER AFTER THIS?

YEAH, YEAH, I'D LIKE THAT, JOE.

ALL RIGHT, SO I'LL MEET YOU AT MULLIGAN'S?

I'LL HAVE 'EM SET UP AN IV DRIP.

WE HAD A TOUGH NIGHT.

THANKS, LARRY, I APPRECIATE THE COURTESY.

THEY FOUND BEN SELTZER BEHIND A SUPERMARKET

IN THE HEIGHTS.

SHOT FIVE TIMES.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ARMAGEDDON, FRANK.

THEY CAN ALL STILL BE UNRELATED INCIDENTS.

I WOULDN'T BET ON IT.

I CAN'T. MY BOOKIE JUST CROAKED.

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR DAY.

I HAD A C-PLUS.

HMM?

SAW SOMETHING IN LEEMAN'S I MAY OR MAY NOT

BUY YOU FOR CHRISTMAS.

- TELL. - NO CHANCE.

AND DON'T EVEN GUESS.

I KEEP THINKING ABOUT RATS IN THE HOUSE.

FOR EVERY ONE YOU SEE...

ENOUGH, FRANK.

SORRY. I'M SORRY.

WELL, HE'S WALKING PRETTY GOOD.

LUCKY PUNCH, THAT'S ALL.

I DIDN'T SEE YOU IN THERE TAKING ANY SHOTS, BIG GUY.

THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, THE WAY YOU WENT DOWN, BOBBY HILL,

IT IS A WONDER YOU DON'T HAVE A CONCUSSION.

HEY, I'M JUST LUCKY I DON'T HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN.

- THIS KID IS RETIRED. - SHOOT.

OH, COME ON, ANDY, HE MADE THE FINALS...

HE'S A SILVER-MEDALIST.

THAT'S RIGHT, AND TOMORROW I CAN WAKE UP,

MY HEADACHE WILL BE GONE, AND I'LL STILL BE PRETTY.

AND STAFFORD WILL STILL BE...

BUTT-UGLY!

HEY, RENKO.

LET'S JUST KEEP ON WALKING.

I SHOT FOR HIS LEG.

NOT ON MY ACCOUNT.

I DIDN'T WANT TO KILL HIM.

HE WAS WALKING, AND I AIMED OR HIS LEG.

AW, MAN.

HEY, STEVE, BOBBY...

PRETTY DAMN STUPID, BOBBY.

NO BRAINS.

TOO MANY SHOTS TO THE HEAD.

I FIGURE A TWO-YEAR BIT, RIGHT?

THREE, MAYBE FIVE.

UPSTATE, FOOD'S PRETTY GOOD.

I WOULDN'T KNOW.

HEY, BOBBY, YOU WIN YOUR FIGHT?

NO.

DON'T WORRY. DON'T GET DISCOURAGED.

I WANT YOU TO BE CAREFUL UP THERE.

I DON'T TIME BEFORE.

IT AIN'T SO BAD. HELL...

IT'S OKAY.

JUST TAKE IT EASY.

SO LONG.

GOIN' HOME, HUH, STEVE?

THANKS FOR THE HELP.

GEE, I THOUGHT SURE YOU'D WANT TO GO SEE BOBBY FIGHT.

MICK, IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT.

THINK ABOUT HIM BLEEDING INSIDE

AND NOT EVEN KNOWING IT... DYING.

I KILLED HIM.

HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?

BECAUSE I PROMISED HIM.

I SAID I'D LET HIM TEACH ME ABOUT WHEELCHAIRS,

AND THEN I TOLD HIM TO GET LOST.

AND I THINK PEOPLE WERE ALWAYS PROMISING HIM THINGS,

AND BUILDING HIS HOPES UP,

AND THEN TELLING HIM TO GET LOST.

YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING YOU'VE TOLD ME ABOUT GAFFNEY

REMINDS ME OF SOMEBODY ELSE.

INDEPENDENT, DEFENSIVE... A LONER.

SO?

SO MAYBE THAT'S WHAT'S BOTHERING YOU.

YOU KNEW WHAT HE WAS GOING THROUGH,

BUT YOU DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO TELL HIM THAT.

YOU UNDERSTOOD EACH OTHER,

BUT YOU JUST DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO BE FRIENDS.

YOU COULDN'T MAKE THE CONNECTION.

I RESPECTED HIM. HE KNEW THAT.

YOU KNOW, WHEN WE FIRST STARTED GOING TOGETHER,

I THOUGHT...

ANY DAY NOW, MICK'S GONNA OPEN UP TO ME.

HE'S GONNA TELL ME ALL HIS SECRETS.

BUT YOU NEVER DID.

AND AFTER A WHILE, I KNEW YOU NEVER WOULD.

BUT THAT'S OKAY. SOME PEOPLE GOTTA BE LIKE THAT.

BUT IT'S NOT ALWAYS EASY LOVING THEM.

I SHOULDN'T HAVE YELLED A HIM.
