ITEM FIVE.

FLOYD GREEN COMES HOME TODAY.

OH, GREAT.

MR. GREEN HAS BEEN GONE FOR FIVE YEARS

FOR THE MURDERS OF WILLIE SMITH AND JANET SANCHEZ.

MR. GREEN WAS 13 AT THE TIME.

HIS APPARENT MOTIVE, BOREDOM.

SINCE TODAY IS HIS 18th BIRTHDAY,

IN OUR JUVIE'S SYSTEM INFINITE WISDOM,

HE'S BEING PUT BACK ON THE STREETS.

HEY, MAYBE WE SHOULD THROW HIM A BIRTHDAY PARTY, HUH?

AT HIS TRIAL, AND PERIODICALLY THEREAFTER,

MR. GREEN ISSUED CERTAIN THREATS

AGAINST CERTAIN PEOPLE WHO TESTIFIED AGAINST HIM.

STATE YOUTH AUTHORITY'S BRINGING HIM HERE TODAY

SO THE CAPTAIN CAN WISH HIM MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY.

BE ALERT,

BECAUSE WHEN HE LEAVES HERE,

MR. GREEN MIGHT TRY TO MAKE GOOD ON SOME OF THOSE THREATS.

I WANT THAT ANIMAL'S BUTT COVERED WALL TO WALL.

NEXT ITEM.

EXTRADITION PROCEEDINGS ARE COMPLETE FOR THE RETURN

OF JOSEPH "LATEX" FLAHERTY.

HE'S ONE OF THE TRI-STATE'S MOST PROLIFIC RUBBER CHECK PIRATES.

DETECTIVE BELKER HOPS TONIGHT'S RED-EYE TO LAS VEGAS.

PURSUANT TO WHICH, HE ASKS THAT ALL PAPERWORK

ON THE THREE LEGS UNDERCOVER BE IN BY NOON

AS HE HAS PRIMARY RECORD-KEEPING RESPONSIBILITY.

AND WE'RE GONNA BE DEPRIVED OF HIS SMILING PRESENCE

FOR APPROXIMATELY 27 HOURS.

LUCKY STIFF, WHAT A WASTE.

SARGE, YOU KNOW, SENDING BELKER TO VEGAS

IS LIKE SENDING MOTHER TERESA.

OPERATION BUMMER.

THE EPIDEMIC OF BUMS BEING ROLLED IN THE VICINITY

OF THE 130th STREET OVERPASS CONTINUES.

DETECTIVES WASHINGTON AND LaRUE REMAIN OUT THERE

TO NAIL THAT CRUM BUM WHO'S RESPONSIBLE.

ALL RIGHT, ITEM, UM, ITEM EIGHT.

AS OF TODAY, YOUR 914 SUMMONS ARE OBSOLETE.

TO BE REPLACED BY YOUR 711 KHAKIS.

YOUR 513 QUADRUPLETS ARE NOW 513 TRIPLICATES.

UH, THROW AWAY THAT LAST CARBON.

ALSO, AS OF TODAY, ALL OFFICERS

MUST FILE A 511A IN ANY ACCIDENT INVOLVING TWO OR MORE VEHICLES

IN WHICH ONE OR MORE OF THOSE VEHICLES

HAVE OUT OF STATE PLACES.

SO YOU THROW OUT THE, UM...

YOU THROW OUT, UH...

THROW OUT THE LAST CARBON IN THE 513.

YEAH, OKAY.

THE STRIKE IS OFF.

THAT MEANS THAT ANY OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN VOLUNTARILY SELECTED

TO DRIVE THE CORRECTIONS TRANSPORT BUSES,

YOU CAN STOP BONING UP FOR YOUR CHAUFFEUR'S LICENSE.

OKAY.

LET'S MAKE IT A GOOD DAY.

LET'S GET OUT THERE AND LET'S DO IT TO THEM

BEFORE THEY DO IT TO US.

- YEAH, I'M WITH YOU, ALL RIGHT? - YOU GOT IT.

SARGE, I'M GONNA NEED A COUPLE HOURS' TIME THIS MORNING.

WHAT FOR?

I'M GETTING AUDITED FOR LAST YEARS' TAXES.

ONLY A COUPLE OF HOURS?

DREAM ON, DREAMER.

KEEP AN EYE ON THIS FOR ME, WILL YOU, NATALIE?

- OH, SURELY. - THANK YOU.

ARE YOU SURE?

HEY, I THINK FLYING IS ABOUT THE SAFEST FORM OF TRANSPORTATION

AROUND TODAY.

YEAH, UH, WHAT ABOUT AT NIGHT?

- YOU'RE KIDDING? - NO.

MICK, THEY GOT LIGHTS, THEY GOT INSTRUMENTS.

YOU KNOW, I'LL BET THEY DON'T LOSE MORE THAN TWO,

THREE PLANES A YEAR IN THOSE MOUNTAINS BEHIND LAS VEGAS.

DO YOU KNOW THE INITIAL RECEIPT, WHAT THE RECEIPT IS FOR?

- NO, NOT REALLY. - WELL, THEY WILL WANT THAT.

AND IF YOU'RE GOING TO FILL THEM OUT NOW,

USE DIFFERENT PENS, AT LEAST THREE.

- THREE? - YEAH.

MORNING, CAPTAIN, I NEED YOUR SIGNATURE ON BELKER'S

LAS VEGAS VOUCHER.

UH... EXCUSE ME, CAPTAIN.

LOOK, IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS, YOU KNOW,

BUT BELKER IS TERRIFIED OF FLYING.

THE GUY'S GOT WHITE KNUCKLES JUST THINKING ABOUT IT.

- NOW I WAS WONDERING... - NO, J.D.

- LOOK, MAYBE I CAN JUST... - NO.

WOULD YOU TELL THESE GUYS TO SHUT UP, PLEASE?

SHUT UP!

HEY!

HEY!

HEY!

THESE SNOWBALLS ARE AS FLAT AS A PANCAKE.

I VALUE MY FREEDOM TOO MUCH.

HEY, BESIDES, WE CAN MAKE A DEAL.

NO.

NEAL, NEAL, LISTEN TO THE MAN...

OH, NO.

IF YOU GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT...

LEO, MR. PESCATOR'S ON INTAKE WITH ME TODAY.

O.P.D. MR. PESCATOR?

COURT-APPOINTED.

UH, LUIS ESCOBEDO OR SALVADOR MUÑOZ, ASSAULT.

WHAT'S THAT MEAN?

IT MEANS MS. DAVENPORT AND I

HAVEN'T DECIDED WHO'S TAKING WHO.

UH, I BELIEVE SOME OUTSTANDING WARRANTS

HAVE FALLEN ON MR. ESCOBEDO.

RIGHT, ESCOBEDO'S IN A, MUÑOZ IS IN B.

I'LL FLIP YA FOR THE ONE WITHOUT THE WARRANT.

THANKS, LEO.

I SAW FLOYD GREEN PUT A GUN TO MY NIECE'S HEART...

SO NOT IN FIVE YEARS, NOT IN 20

COULD I EVER PUT THAT OUT OF MY MIND.

SANCHEZ, THAT'S NOT BY ANY MEANS WHAT I'M ASKING YOU TO DO.

BUT THEN TO HAVE TO BEAR THAT CONSTANT STENCH OF THAT ANIMAL

AGAINST ME AND THE OTHERS.

DO YOU THINK THEY DON'T GET BACK TO US?

MR. SANCHEZ, I'M ONLY TRYING TO FIND

A WAY TO MANAGE A DIFFICULT SITUATION.

WHICH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH IS WILLING TO PROVIDE.

ONLY IF YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ANY SUGGESTION

OF A VIGILANTE ACTION ON YOUR...

HE SAYS THIS ADDRESS IS HIS PLACE OF RESIDENCE UPON RELEASE.

YOUR COUSIN'S APARTMENT IS IN MY PRECINCT.

THIS IS THE LAST TIME I EVER WANNA SEE YOU, FLOYD.

THE COURT SAYS YOU START WITH A CLEAN SLATE.

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, YOU GET NO SLACK AT ALL.

DON'T EVEN JAYWALK.

BAD ATTITUDE COULD COST YOU TOO, FLOYD.

HEY, MAN, I'M COOL.

I'M A CITIZEN.

I PAID FOR MY DEEDS.

NOW IF SOMEBODY WANNA GET IN MY FACE ABOUT THAT,

THEN THEY GONNA PAY FOR THEIR DEEDS.

THAT A THREAT, FLOYD?

YOU'RE NOT A FREE ADULT UNTIL 9:00, FLOYD.

YOU PAY ATTENTION TO THESE GENTLEMEN.

MAN, IF TWO MINUTES MEAN THAT MUCH TO YOU, FINE.

EARLY RELEASE, GET OUT OF HERE.

ALL YOURS, CAPTAIN.

- CLASS ACT. - STAY ON HIM.

LET HIM SEE YOU.

HE GIVES YOU ANY REASON AT ALL, ROUST HIM.

HE GETS NO RHYTHM, NONE.

YOU GOT IT.

NEIGHBORHOOD PATROL BROUGHT A LIST

OF GREEN'S FRIENDS, HIS OLD HANGOUTS.

THEY'RE ANXIOUS TO HELP.

- I'LL COORDINATE. - OKAY, STAY CLOSE.

I DON'T WANT ANY VENDETTAS COMING FROM EITHER DIRECTION.

YEAH.

MR. ESCOBEDO, TO AVOID ANY POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST

WITH YOUR CO-DEFENDANT IN THESE CHARGES,

I'LL BE REPRESENTING MR. MUÑOZ.

ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE AVAILABLE.

OH, FINE, THANKS.

I SHOULD BE ABLE TO FINE-TUNE THE COVERS, THANKS.

MR. ESCOBEDO.

ANY, UH, PARTICULAR REASON YOU AND MR. MUÑOZ

WENT AFTER THESE WOMEN WITH A TIRE IRON?

'CAUSE THEY WAS UGLY, MAN, THEY WAS IN MY FACE.

HEY, WHAT'S YOUR NAME AGAIN?

PESCATOR.

OH...

I NEED A LAWYER, THEY BRING ME A FISH.

YOU KNOW, I HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR.

I HAVE A TEMPER, TOO.

NOW, JUST ANSWER MY QUESTIONS LIKE A GOOD BOY.

IS THAT ALL RIGHT?

IT MEANS FISHERMAN.

BURY MY MAMA, RIGHT?

AND DID HE TOUCH HER WITH IT? NO, HE DID NOT.

SO YOU TELL ME, WHAT DO I OWE HIM?

NOT A DAMN THING!

JUST STOLEN AWAY.

I MEAN, HE'S A MAJOR MAJOR.

LEONARD, MY MAN, WE'RE GONNA TRY TO MAKE A DEAL HERE.

NOW JUST SHUT UP AND REMAIN THAT WAY, ALL RIGHT?

SERGEANT BATES, COFFEY.

THIS WOMAN'S BUSTING MY CHOPS.

PETTY LARCENY AT THE SUPERETTE, VAN HORN AND 23rd.

REGULAR JOHN DILLINGER.

PROBABLY SWIPED A QUART OF MILK.

GIVE ME A BREAK.

ARE YOU CRAZY, I SAID NO.

COME ON, LADY, GIVE ME A BREAK.

NO, YOU STOLE FROM ME AND YOU'RE GONNA LEARN YOUR LESSON!

- YOU OLD WITCH. - YOU LITTLE TWERP!

THIS TIME, I'M PROSECUTING.

THESE KIDS ARE CLEANING ME OUT.

ALL RIGHT.

LOOK, MA'AM, IF THE BOY STOLE SOMETHING

WE USUALLY JUST TAKE HIM HOME AND TELL HIS PARENTS.

OH, NOT THIS TIME.

LOOK AT ALL THE STUFF HE LIFTED.

MY CLERK IS CONCERNED.

HE SEES BLOOD DRIPPING DOWN HIS HAND.

HE LIFTS UP HIS ARM AND OUT COMES A CHICKEN!

OKAY, WELL, AT LEAST YOU GOT ALL THE STUFF BACK.

I CAN'T SELL THIS, IT'S SQUASHED.

EXCUSE ME, UH, IS THAT THE BIRD YOU WANT ME TO WRAP?

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

YOU GET HIM OUT OF HERE.

BUT I SEE YOUR FACE BACK HERE AGAIN AND I BREAK YOUR FINGERS.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

WHERE DO YOU LIVE?

LOOK, KID, EITHER WE TAKE YOU HOME OR WE TAKE YOU IN.

ALL RIGHT, COME ON, LET'S GO.

THIS IS IT.

SO?

- WHERE'S YOUR MOTHER? - AIN'T HERE NOW.

WELL, WHEN IS SHE GONNA BE HERE?

IT COULD BE A WHILE.

UH-OH.

GOTTA RUN.

AUF WIEDERSEHEN, BABY.

HEY, COME BACK HERE, YOU CHUMP!

SO WHAT Y'ALL WANT HERE?

WE'RE WAITING TO SEE THIS BOY'S MOTHER.

- ABOUT WHAT? - ABOUT SHOPLIFTING.

- WHO ARE YOU? - I'M HIS SISTER.

YOU SEE WHAT YOU DID DONE NOW?

YOU'RE JUST MAD 'CAUSE I COST YOU A TRICK.

- SHUT UP... - HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY.

WHAT FOR, MAN?

DID YOU HAVE A GOOD BREAKFAST?

A GOOD BREAKFAST IS A FOUNDATION FOR A HAPPY, HEALTHY LIFE.

BABY, THAT FEELS GOOD.

YOU LIKE THAT ACTION, HUH?

YOU TAKE YOUR TIME, THAT FEELS GOOD.

WHAT'S THIS FOR?

UH-OH, NO, FLOYD, A JOINT?

NOW NUTRITIONALLY SPEAKING, THIS IS NO WAY TO START YOUR DAY.

- WHAT'S THIS JOINT? - SHUT UP OR YOU'RE BUSTED!

I SAID THAT'S ENOUGH!

ALL RIGHT, GO, GO, GO, GO!

JUST LIKE A HUMMINGBIRD.

POLICE... CHARLES MORRIS WORK HERE?

I DON'T SEE HIM.

WHAT TIME DO YOU EXPECT HIM TO BECOME VISIBLE?

HE'S IN, HE'S OUT.

WHAT, HE GIVE YOU A BAD SHOE SHINE?

HEY, HEY, LOOK AT THESE DUMBO EARS.

AHH! THAT'S IT!

I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY.

YOU GOTTA HOLD HIS HEAD STILL, TONY.

YOU GOTTA KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

I COME IN FOR A TRIM, I'M NOT A CIRCUS FREAK.

HEY, THIS IS THE BEST TWO BUCK HAIRCUT IN TOWN

AND HE'S MY TOP TRAINEE.

HE'S A LAWNMOWER NOT A BARBER.

OH, THEN YOU'RE A MALE MODEL, HUH, BOB?

PAY UP, BOB, THE COPS LIKE TO SEE YOU PAY.

NOT FOR A SCALPING, YOU FRAUD.

HEY, LIKE IT OR NOT, MISTER, YOU GOTTA PAY FOR THE SERVICE.

THE TIP IS UP TO YOU.

DON'T WORRY, PAISAN, WE'LL GET THE NEXT ONE.

NEXT!

CHARLIE MORRIS!

- HEY. - HEY, HEY!

HEY, WHAT'S WRONG, I'LL HAVE YOU DANCING OUT OF HERE IN NO TIME.

- POLICE, GOT A WARRANT... - HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON?

SORRY, CHARLIE.

OH, LOOK-AT HERE, LOOK-AT HERE.

ONE WAY TO FELONY LAND.

WHO DID ME? WHO RUINED ME?

YOU DID, SUCKER.

YOU UNDER ARREST FOR POSSESSION OF STOLEN PROPERTY.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT.

ANYTHING YOU SAY...

PAYMENTS ON YOUR MOTHER'S MORTGAGE

IS A CHARITABLE DEDUCTION DISALLOWED.

ALSO, WITH THIS OFFICE SPACE HOME.

WHAT KIND OF OFFICE WORK DOES A POLICEMAN DO AT HOME?

POLICE OFFICERS HAVE TO WORK AT HOME AT NIGHT ON THEIR PAPERS.

AT HOME.

I DON'T FIND THE LETTER TO THAT EFFECT

FROM THE CITY, DISALLOWED.

BESIDES, WHICH, YOU DEDUCTED $40,000 GAMBLING LOSSES?

STRAIGHT OUT OF THE CODE.

LOSSES DEDUCTIBLE UP TO EQUIVALENT WINNINGS.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN AN ACCOUNTANT, MR. BLATZ?

REGS REQUIRE APPROPRIATE RECEIPTS.

THEY DON'T GIVE RECEIPTS AT A FLOATING CRAP GAME.

LOSSES INCURRED DUE TO ILLEGAL GAMBLING ARE NON-DEDUCTIBLE,

DISALLOWED.

IF YOU DON'T MIND MY SAYING SO, SIR,

THIS GOVERNMENT MAKES PEOPLE INTO THIEVES.

NO WONDER PEOPLE TAKE TWICE WHAT THEY'RE ENTITLED TO

WHEN YOU'RE JUST GONNA DISALLOW MOST OF IT BACK.

ANDY.

NO, YOU WAIT A MINUTE, NOW, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

YOU TAKE YOUR AVERAGE HARD-WORKING POLICE OFFICER.

NOW THE RESTAURANTS ON HIS BEAT

OCCASIONALLY WILL TEAR UP HIS TAB.

DO YOU THINK HE'S GONNA DECLARE THAT?

NO, SIR.

DO YOU KNOW WHY?

BECAUSE OF THIS HARD ATTITUDE HE'S GONNA GET FROM YOU PEOPLE.

HE KNOWS HE'S GONNA ENCOUNTER THAT.

AM I RIGHT?

LET'S SEE, THAT'S FIVE MEALS A WEEK,

FIVE BUCKS A MEAL, TIMES...

- NO, SIR, NO, SIR! - NICE GOING, ANDY.

- NO, DON'T... - HEY...

JUST KIDDING.

NOBODY'S HERE TO SLICE AND DICE ANYBODY.

HOW MUCH ARE WE TALKING ABOUT, MR. STONE?

12,000 PLUS INTEREST AND CHARGES, OF COURSE.

- 12,000? - $12,000.

YOU CAN PAY ON TIME.

170 BUCKS A WEEK.

DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I TAKE HOME?

HE CAN'T PAY 12,000...

I'M AFRAID THEY GOT US BY THE SHORT ONES THERE, BOB.

IF WE DON'T PAY, THEY GARNISH YOUR WAGES.

HOW ABOUT GARNISHING YOUR BRAIN?

HEY, PAL, WE'RE NOT GONNA PAY YOUR FEE...

NOT ONE IOTA, ONE ONE!

NO, SIR!

IT WAS HARD TO GET ANY STRAIGHT ANSWER.

BUT AS FAR AS WE CAN TELL,

THE MOTHER'S BEEN GONE FOR SIX MONTHS.

WE GOT A FAILURE TO APPEAR ON THE OLDER SISTER.

THE MIDDLE SISTER RAN AWAY A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.

KID WAS STEALING FOOD JUST TO PUT A MEAL ON THE TABLE.

RUN THE USUAL CHECKS ON THE YOUNGER SISTER.

- ANY WARRANTS ON THE MOTHER? - NO, SIR.

ABANDONMENT, FELONY ENDANGERMENT.

BEING A WRONG PERSON.

GET THE YOUTH AUTHORITY DOWN HERE TO PICK UP THE BOY.

YES, SIR.

WHERE'S JACKIE, I WANNA SEE HER.

YOU'LL SEE HER AS SOON AS SHE GETS DONE TALKING

TO HER ATTORNEY.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR OTHER SISTER, SONIA?

WHAT ABOUT HER?

WELL, WE'RE TRYING TO FIND HER.

DON'T YOU WANNA HELP WITH THAT?

I ALREADY TOLD YOU WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE.

YEAH, BUT DON'T YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHERE SHE MIGHT BE?

WE GOT A COUSIN IN ROCKDALE.

YEAH?

OH, NO.

MISS DAVENPORT?

WHERE IS HE?

THIRD LEVEL.

I'LL SEE HER IN A MINUTE.

JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW

I'M NOMINATING THE FLOYD GREEN BUST FOR HUMMER OF THE WEEK.

LAST TIME I LOOKED, GRASS WAS STILL ILLEGAL, COUNSELOR.

FRANK, I'M FAMILIAR WITH MR. GREEN'S PAST ACCOMPLISHMENT,

BUT A HUMMER'S STILL A HUMMER.

HE'LL BE ON THE STREET IN TWO HOURS.

I'LL START WORRYING ABOUT IT IN TWO HOURS.

HEY, LEO... LEO.

VOUCHER THESE PLAIN TICKETS

FOR ME AS EVIDENCE IN THE MORRIS CASE.

AND I'LL FILE A HARDSHIP RETURN ON THE REST OF THEM.

OH, BUT P.U.

IT'S YOUR FAVORITE COLOGNE.

WHOSE, LEO, MYRNA'S?

I THOUGHT BELKER'S GOING TO VEGAS.

MAYBE HE COULD DELIVER A LETTER TOO.

DOUBLE, OH, THE P.U.

DAVENPORT, MY OPTIONS ARE LIMITED.

BUSTED FOR PROSTITUTION, DIDN'T SHOW UP FOR A PRELIMINARY.

SHE'S 16 YEARS OLD AND WITHOUT PARENTAL SUPERVISION.

ACD OR AN OUTRIGHT, YOUR HONOR.

IF YOU'LL EXAMINE THE PAPERS,

THIS WAS A LAUGHABLY ILLEGAL SEARCH.

HAVE ANY REASON TO TOSS THIS GUY, DETECTIVES?

- MAY WE APPROACH? - SURE, COME ON.

JUDGE, I CAME DOWN HERE BECAUSE I WANT THE COURTS TO REALIZE

HOW SERIOUS WE ARE ABOUT THIS GUY.

HMM, SAID SERIOUSNESS REFLECTED IN YOUR ROUSTING HIM.

HE'S THREATENED REVENGE ON WITNESSES.

HE'S SHOWN NO REMORSE EVER FOR TWO MURDERS.

AND HE'S SUSPECTED OF AT LEAST ONE OTHER MURDER

WHILE IN YOUTH AUTHORITY.

- UNPROVEN. - LIKELY, NEVERTHELESS.

I AM AWARE OF MR. GREEN'S PAST.

I CANNOT CONDONE ASSAULTS ON THE CONSTITUTION, FRANK.

A ROACH...

MR. GREEN.

IF LEGITIMATE CONCERNS OF THE COMMUNITY WERE MY SOLE CRITERIA,

I'D HANG YOU FROM THE COURTROOM CHANDELIER.

AS IT IS, YOU'VE GOT RIGHTS.

- THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR. - YOU'RE WELCOME.

CASE DISMISSED ON GROUNDS

OF UNCONSTITUTIONAL SEARCH AND SEIZURE.

AND I'M ORDERING THE POLICE TO REMAIN

AT LEAST 100 YARDS FROM FLOYD GREEN

UNLESS THERE IS REASONABLE CAUSE TO STOP AND QUESTION HIM.

NEXT ON THE CALENDAR, DOCKET NUMBER 49493,

LUIS ALVARADO, FELONIOUS ASSAULT.

UH, WE HAD TO KEEP TWO TICKETS FOR EVIDENCE.

OF COURSE, NORMAL PROCEDURE WOULD HAVE BEEN

TO INVOICE THEM ALL,

BUT DETECTIVE WASHINGTON HERE AND ME, WE FIGURED

THEY MIGHT KEEP YOU FROM YOUR MERCHANDISE FOR A LONG TIME.

HEY, MAYBE YEARS.

HEY, THANKS A LOT, THAT COULD'VE COST ME QUITE A BIT.

WASN'T EASY GETTING THESE EITHER.

OH, I TOOK A BULLET.

IT'S A FLESH WOUND, IT'S ALL IN A DAY'S WORK.

BOY, PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE WHAT YOU FELLAS HAVE TO GO THROUGH.

MR. BECKMAN, TO SERVE AND PROTECT,

THAT'S OUR MIDDLE NAME.

LISTEN, IF YOU'RE CONTEMPLATING A TRIP ANYWHERE,

- HEY... - THERE'S A SPECIAL EXCURSION.

I CAN LET YOU HAVE FOR 120 ROUND TRIP.

THAT'S MY COST.

WAIT A MINUTE, WHEN'S YOUR FRIEND'S FUNERAL?

UH, DAY AFTER... DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING.

ALL RIGHT, DARN IT.

YOU HAVE TO BE BACK ON THANKSGIVING DAY.

WE'LL TAKE SIX.

THE MAN IS DEAD, HE'LL UNDERSTAND.

TAKE A CHECK?

YEAH, GIVE ME THE LIEUTENANT.

THIS IS DETECTIVE GARIBALDI.

YEAH, WE LOST HIM.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE.

HE WENT INTO A BAR AND THE NEXT THING,

HE MUST'VE GONE OUT A BATHROOM WINDOW.

OH, COME ON, HENRY, GIVE ME A BREAK.

YOU CAN'T TELL A GUY FROM A HUNDRED YARDS.

RIGHT, WILL DO.

YEAH, WE'RE GONNA CHECK OUT HIS COUSINS.

RIGHT.

WHAT GOOD IS HAVING A CREDIT UNION

IF YOU CAN'T GET NO CREDIT?

IF I DOUBLE MORTGAGE MY CAR, THEY'LL CONSIDER 1750.

THAT'S REAL BIG OF 'EM.

HEY, RENKO?

THINK MAYBE YOU COULD HELP ME?

RENKO?

I HEAR YOU, BROTHER.

LISTEN, BOBBY HILL, THERE IS NO BETTER FRIEND I HAVE

IN THE WORLD.

YOU HAVE COVERED MY BEHIND MORE TIMES THAN I CAN COUNT.

LOOK, RENKO, I DON'T NEED A TESTIMONIAL.

WHAT I COULD USE IS A COUPLE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

SORRY TO DISAPPOINT YOU, MR. GREEN

BUT THE LAW HAS BEEN CHANGED.

EVEN 16-YEAR-OLDS CAN BE CHARGED AS ADULTS IN A CAPITAL CRIME.

JOHN PESCATOR IS NO CHRISTIAN.

- SGT. BATES? - YEAH.

RUTH MORGENSTERN, COUNTY YOUTH AUTHORITY.

I'M HERE TO PICK UP, UH...

DeWITT, FABIAN.

RIGHT.

I NEED A MINUTE OF YOUR TIME.

I'D LIKE TO HAVE HIM COME LIVE WITH ME, IS THAT POSSIBLE?

HAVE YOU TALKED TO YOUR HUSBAND ABOUT THIS?

I'M SINGLE.

I HAVE A DECENT PAYING JOB.

I HAVE MONEY IN THE BANK, I HAVE AN EXTRA ROOM.

I'D MAKE SURE HE WAS ENROLLED IN SCHOOL.

PRETTY SURE I CAN HANDLE IT.

SERGEANT, THIS IS NOT A SWEATER

THAT YOU CAN TAKE BACK TO THE STORE IF IT DOESN'T FIT

OR SOME ABANDONED KITTY-CAT THAT MIGHT...

DON'T PATRONIZE ME.

I AM NOT A WIDE-EYED LITTLE GIRL TRYING TO PLAY MOMMY.

NEITHER AM I.

BUT I'VE SEEN TOO MANY OF THESE TROUBLED KIDS

SHUTTLED BACK AND FORTH LIKE CATTLE FROM ONE END...

THIS KID IS DIFFERENT.

ACCORDING TO MY REPORT,

HE'S BEEN SURVIVING FOR MONTHS ON HIS OWN.

AND WHAT MAKES YOU THINK HE WOULD SUDDENLY

TAKE TO YOUR PARENTING?

AND WHAT MAKES YOU THINK HE WOULD TAKE TO JUVENILE HALL?

AT LEAST I'M WILLING TO TRY.

ARE YOU SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BE GETTING INTO?

NO.

NOT COMPLETELY.

I'VE BEEN A COP FOR NINE YEARS.

I'VE BEEN FIVE YEARS UP HERE ON THE HILL.

I'VE SEEN KIDS BEAT UP, I'VE SEEN THEM TORTURED.

I SEE THE PIMPS SEND 'EM OUT ON THE STREET BEFORE PUBERTY.

COME ON, MRS. MORGENSTERN.

WHAT DO YOU SAY?

WHY DON'T WE SEE WHAT FABIAN DeWITT SAYS?

SO... HERE'S THE THING.

LIKE I SAID, WE CAN'T LET YOU GO HOME

AS LONG AS YOUR MOM'S NOT THERE.

AND THE ONLY SPACE THE CITY HAS FOR YOU RIGHT NOW

IS JUVENILE HALL, WHICH IS NOT A GREAT PLACE TO BE.

SO I'M THINKING, UH...

IF WE CAN GET THE YOUTH AUTHORITY LADY TO

GIVE US AN OKAY...

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO STAY WITH ME?

YOU MEAN, LIKE YOU'D BE MY MOM OR SOMETHING?

LIKE YOUR FOSTER MOM.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MY OWN MOM COMES HOME?

THAT'LL BE GREAT.

AT THAT TIME, THE COURT WILL PROBABLY TRY

TO GET THE WHOLE FAMILY BACK TOGETHER AGAIN.

BUT IN THE MEANTIME,

YOU'LL HAVE WHAT THEY CALL A STABLE ENVIRONMENT.

I LIKE YOU, MISS,

AND I APPRECIATE YOU PUTTING YOURSELF OUT TO ME.

BUT I GOT RESPONSIBILITIES.

I GOTTA TAKE CARE OF MY SISTER.

FABIAN, IF YOU HAVE TO GO TO JUVENILE HALL,

YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF ANYBODY.

AND ANYWAY, YOUR SISTER

HAS SOME SERIOUS PROBLEMS OF HER OWN RIGHT NOW.

NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU LOVE HER,

THE COURT IS NOT GONNA LET YOU TWO LIVE TOGETHER.

FABIAN, GIVE IT A TRY.

ONE NIGHT.

I DON'T WANNA DISAPPOINT NO ONE.

UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING?

YOU COULDN'T DISAPPOINT ME.

YES, I COULD.

I BE SO USED TO TAKING CARE OF MY SISTERS,

I ALREADY KNOW HOW TO DO THAT.

BUT IF I LET YOU START TAKING CARE OF ME,

I HAVE TO START DOING THINGS YOUR WAY.

LIKE SCHOOL AND STUFF.

I DON'T KNOW, MISS.

I COULD SEE THAT NOT WORKING OUT AT ALL.

DAMMIT, FABIAN.

KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE IN JUVIE HALL?

SEE, YOU MAD AT ME ALREADY.

I'M SORRY, I GOTTA SAY NO.

ALL RIGHT, LISTEN UP.

THESE ARE JUNKET TICKETS WHICH MEANS

THEY GOT A COUPLE OF RESTRICTIONS ON 'EM.

A, WE GOTTA TAKE THE NIGHT FLIGHT OUT, THAT'S 9:30 TONIGHT,

WHICH IS A DIRECT FLIGHT.

IS THAT DIRECT OR NON-STOP?

DIRECT, WHICH MEANS THERE'S NO CHANGE OF PLANES.

NOW IN TERMS OF STOPS, I THINK MAYBE THERE'S A COUPLE.

MAYBE FOUR.

- FOUR? - FOUR STOPS?

IT'S A JUNKET, YOU KNOW IT'S A TRADE-OFF.

PRICE FOR A LITTLE CONVENIENCE.

B, THESE TICKETS EXPIRE MIDNIGHT DAY AFTER TOMORROW.

THANKSGIVING.

RIGHT, WHICH THERE'S A RETURN FLIGHT

FROM VEGAS 11:00 THANKSGIVING MORNING.

THE SCHEDULE SOUNDS A LITTLE CRAMPED, JOHN.

I LOOK AT THIS AS DAMAGE INSURANCE, LIEUTENANT.

I MEAN, HOW MUCH TROUBLE CAN YOU GET INTO IN 36 HOURS?

WELL, I FOR ONE HAVE A FEW PERSONAL DAYS COMING.

YEAH, I DO FEEL A LITTLE SNIFFLE COMING ON.

I COULD BE GOOD AND SICK BY TOMORROW.

HEY, GUYS, NO SALE?

WELL, J.D., I DON'T THINK THAT DARYL ANN WOULD LIKE IT

IF I MISSED THANKSGIVING DINNER.

WE DO APPRECIATE IT, THOUGH.

HEY, HEY, AT 160 BUCKS A TICKET ROUND TRIP TO VEGAS,

I THOUGHT I HAD TO LET YOU KNOW.

OH, YEAH.

HEY, HEY, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS, J.D.

YOU MADE A MISTAKE, YOU READ IT WRONG, BABE.

TICKETS ARE 120.

LET ME SEE THAT.

WAIT A SECOND.

HUH, IT'S ONLY 120.

YEAH, YOU WERE LOOKING AT THE FLIGHT NUMBER.

RIGHT, ONLY 120, THAT'S BETTER YET.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

I WAS STRUCK BY FRAGMENTS.

I WAS STRUCK BY FRAGMENTS.

FRAGMENTS.

THINK HE'S DEAD.

THE SECOND THAT THE IRS GUY SAID...

I JUST KIND OF PANICKED LIKE,

I'M GONNA HAVE TO GET THIS OVER WITH, I, UM...

I GOTTA GET IT BEHIND ME RIGHT NOW.

THAT TIME HAS GOT A LOT OF BAD MEMORIES ATTACHED TO IT.

I WAS FEELING LIKE

I'LL BE PAYING ON THIS THING EVERY WEEK.

I'D BE THINKING ABOUT LOSING THAT MONEY.

BUT WHEN I KEPT COMING UP SHORT WHEN I COULDN'T GET THE MONEY

I NEEDED, I...

YOU KNOW, LYNN, WHEN I WAS DRIVING BY TO PICK YOU UP,

I SAID TO MYSELF, "HEY, YOU'RE JUST GONNA

HAVE TO GET USED TO IT, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT."

I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHY, BUT I DO KNOW THAT

GOING FROM DAY TO DAY DOESN'T SCARE ME LIKE IT USED TO.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO SAY THIS

ALL THROUGH DINNER.

WHAT'S THAT?

TELEVISION NEWSCASTERS MAKE A GOOD LIVING, BOBBY.

I COULD LOAN YOU THAT MONEY.

AIN'T YOU SOMETHING.

YOU CAN REPAY ME JUST LIKE A BANK.

I'D NEVER HAVE A SEXIER LOAN OFFICER.

BUT, UM...

I THINK I'M GONNA DO IT THE OTHER WAY.

JUST PAY ON IT WEEK BY WEEK.

SURE?

YEAH, SURE.

BUT I DO APPRECIATE THE OFFER.

I HOPE THIS ISN'T GONNA MESS ANYTHING UP WITH US.

NO, IT'S NOT GONNA MESS UP ANYTHING.

HI, DO YOU EVER GAMBLE?

TAKE A CHANCE ON ME.

RIGHT ON THAT SIDE.

HI, HOW YOU DOING? RIGHT NEXT TO HIM.

AH, THANK YOU.

- HEY, MICK. - JUST LEAVE ME ALONE, J.D.

COME ON, BELKER, WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO?

LAY DOWN AND DIE HERE?

I WANT CERTAIN THINGS UNDERSTOOD.

HEY, WE KNOW YOU WORKING, MICK.

THAT'S EXACTLY CORRECT.

I'M PICKING UP A PRISONER, PERIOD.

HEY, WOULD YOU DO ME A FAVOR AND JUST LIGHTEN UP?

SIR, THIS WILL HAVE TO GO UNDER YOUR SEAT

OR IN THE OVERHEAD COMPARTMENT.

NO, IT'S A LITTLE CROWDED UP THERE, MISS.

HI, MICK, HOW ARE YA?

HEY, WHAT IS THIS?

WHAT IS IT?

WOULD YOU PUT THAT BACK, IT'S LEO'S LETTER TO HIS EX.

OOF.

- WOULD YOU GIVE ME THAT? - WAIT A MINUTE.

WHAT'S THIS?

LEO'S WIFE'S ENEMA BAG?

- THAT'S A MOTORMAN'S HELPER. - A WHAT?

A MOTORMAN'S HELPER.

FOR WHEN NATURE CALLS AND CIRCUMSTANCES PREVENT OUR

ANSWERING IN THE LAVATORIES.

IT'S FOR IF I HAVE TO GO AND I HAVE MY PRISONER.

NOW WOULD YOU GIVE IT BACK TO ME, PLEASE.

VERY PRUDENT, MICK, VERY FAR-SIGHTED.

I'LL TAKE THOSE, THERE'S NO MORE ROOM.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

- HEY, HI, YOU GUYS! - HEY!

WHAT'D YOU DO, GO RETAIL?

NO, NO-NO-NO.

WHEN THE TRAVEL AGENT CAME FOR THE UNUSED TICKETS,

I BOUGHT ONE.

ALL RIGHT, GOOD FOR YOU.

I'M SO NERVOUS I THINK I'M GOING TO VOMIT.

I TOLD ROSA I WAS GOING TO AUSTIN TO VISIT MY SICK UNCLE.

HEY, WE'RE GONNA CRUSH 'EM, LIEUTENANT.

WE ARE GONNA BREAK THE BANK OVER THERE.

DO YOU REALLY THINK SO, J.D.?

- SEATBELT FASTENED, SIR? - YES, YES, I WILL.

- WE'RE GONNA BREAK THE BANK. - OH, GOOD FOR YOU.

THANK YOU.

GUM, MICK?

IT RELIEVES THE MIDDLE EAR WHEN WE'RE PRESSURIZED.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, PRESSURIZED?

OH, COME ON, TAKE IT EASY, MICK.

IT'S HARDLY ANY CHANCE WE'LL CRASH.

MICK, MICK.

- HI. - HI.

NICE SHINER.

OLDER DUDE WENT FOR MY SECONDS.

HAD TO SET HIM DOWN.

HOW'S THE FOOD?

THEIR COOKING AIN'T IN MY LEAGUE.

I BET.

I JUST CAME BY TO SEE HOW YOU'RE MAKING OUT.

IS THAT ALL?

NO.

FABIAN, TRUTH IS, UH...

I DID SOMETHING I THINK YOU'RE NOT GONNA LIKE.

WHAT?

I GOT THIS JUDGE TO SIGN SOME PAPERS THAT MAKE ME

YOUR LEGAL GUARDIAN UNTIL HE SAYS DIFFERENTLY.

WHAT IF I DON'T GO?

WELL, I'M NOT GONNA TRY TO FORCE YOU.

BUT I WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT I CARE ABOUT YOU ENOUGH TO...

TO MORE THAN JUST TALK ABOUT IT.

I CAN'T BE YOUR MOM.

I MEAN, YOU CAN TAKE ONE LOOK AT US

AND IT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS I'M NOT YOUR MOM.

BUT I WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND.

AND I WANT TO HELP YOU TO BE SOMEBODY.

IF YOU DON'T COME HOME WITH ME TODAY,

IT'S OKAY, I'LL JUST COME BACK TOMORROW AND ASK AGAIN

AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE DAY AFTER THAT.

AND EVENTUALLY, I FIGURE THAT YOU'LL HAVE TO GIVE ME A TRY

JUST TO GET ME OFF YOUR BACK.

I COME HOME WITH YOU TONIGHT AND THEN WHAT?

WHAT IF IT DON'T WORK OUT?

I DON'T KNOW.

TAKE A CHANCE.

OKAY.

NOW WHAT?
