LaRue has definitely got mono. That means he'll be out three weeks minimum.

Guy is sick, but he'll make a party out of it.

And the big absence, which when I talked to him this morning, he had the flu,

but even if he were well, Captain Ferrillo has been reassigned to

Which, in my opinion, stinks.

But that expressing an opinion is exactly what got him in trouble.

Moving right along to item seven. What are they bringing in?

We won't know for about a week.

In the meantime, command is Lieutenant Hunter and Lieutenant Cayetano.

Item seven, stop and cop. And this comes directly from Deputy Chief Briscoe at

Division.

Every available body will be on the street for immediate assistant backup

all observed narcotic transactions.

Luce, everybody?

Everybody means everybody.

First one will be on that slimline radio storefront.

Chief Briscoe says that they're really looking to make some dents out there.

That's a lot of crap.

Hey, look.

Everybody knows what the mayor's attitude is on this one.

So let's just go out there, dig our heels in, and do it. That's right.

Last item.

William Mullins.

He was re -released this morning.

Now, this guy's brother was fingered by Joyce Davenport yesterday.

She's getting protection.

And when she's around, be alert.

And let's show that we're aware of the situation.

That's it.

Captain coming back?

Is there anything we can do?

I don't know. They say that he's not coming back.

Man, Cleveland's got to be crazy.

All right, look.

We're all going to know all about this soon enough.

So in the meantime, we just do our jobs.

So let's just roll and be careful.

Lieutenant, I'll see you for a second. Sure.

Remember Whitney Barnes?

Townhouse tapes?

Yes.

Well, Chief Daniels is on this one with her.

How do you come into possession of this?

D .D. Medica.

Neil, doing that with evidence is illegal.

That's what I told him. That's why I took it away.

As long as I didn't get rid of it yet.

Maybe we can help the captain.

I don't believe this would be the way to go about it.

Then?

I'm turning everything, Lieutenant.

Hey, will you wait one second for me?

Yeah, I'll be over here. Thanks. Sarge, I don't want to be a pain, but I .A .D.

put me on desk today.

I talked to Briscoe personally about you. He said you had to go up.

I reminded him that you were officer involved just yesterday. Yeah. I said

everybody goes back home. Okay.

Okay. I killed somebody once.

If you ever want to talk about anything... Thanks,

Lizzy.

Clara? Yeah?

How are you today?

I'm okay. I'm going to be okay.

I understand how difficult it must be for you.

Thanks.

By the way, I happen to have two tickets to the Philharmonic. Is that right?

Yeah, it's Marla's fourth.

Kosikowski's conducting.

I'm sorry. Would you like to go? Never gave permission.

Yeah. I mean, that's just too spoiled. I can have a key made.

If Frank had wanted a key made, he would have said so. Ray, can we please not

water the hydrant about this?

We're not doing such a thing, Henry.

I have been left in charge, and I am the boss.

Oh, no, no, no, Raimundo. I am the boss.

I am the boss, Howard. Oh, I'm not arguing rank, compadre. It's inflection.

You're stressing the wrong word. It's not I am the boss. It's I am the boss.

are a jerk.

I didn't hear you come in last night.

I was late.

Where'd you go?

For a walk.

Got the flu.

You all right?

Are you all right?

You've been reassigned. You're sick.

There's a Sergeant Meyer already outside.

My escort.

I don't know him.

He's reading retirement brochures. Great confidence builder.

You have a bodyguard.

just in case he takes off for Florida.

No good, Joyce.

Frank, I don't want to argue about it.

Are you going into division?

See how I feel.

What can I bring you home?

Some chicken soup?

Great, thanks.

I hope you feel better.

Morning, Ray. Good morning, Chief. Any fires up here?

Chief, excuse me.

I am wondering if there is any chance you will reconsider Frank's

Reconsider, Ray?

Frank made a mistake.

He made several.

But I believe he deserves consideration.

This is the mayor's play, amigo.

And the mayor is not currently disposed to do Captain Ferrello a favor.

Of course, Ozzie was your man in the election, Ray. Maybe you can prevail on

Chief. Henry, we're going to kick some butt on stopping cops this morning?

going to try.

You may see Warren Briscoe out there.

Okay. Off the record.

I'm thinking of him as the transitional guy for your precinct.

Ray?

I hate that man.

What's the deal, Lieutenant?

Division's assigned a bodyguard to the captain's wife.

I want to go after it from the other end.

Good. Good for you. I don't want the sociopath Mullins anywhere near Joyce

Davenport. What are we talking about here?

We're talking about Mullins as a junkie.

When he's released from Michigan Avenue, we put a tail on him. When he tries to

cop, we roust him and his connection.

Shut this guy off cold, and sooner or later, he could make a mistake he'll go

away for.

Or blow town.

Either of which would be fine with us.

I thought we were on stop and cop.

I'm running command post on stop and cop, Harry. I can take care of that

But maybe you'd like to be reassigned.

I don't want to be reassigned.

Okay.

Leo? Hi, Miss Davenport.

Uh, Mr. Lewisburg?

Uh, interrogation.

That's where I'll leave you, Captain.

Oh, okay. I'll wait right outside the door. Miss Davenport.

Um, what you did in court yesterday meant a lot to a lot of people.

Thank you.

Anybody see my catcher's mitt?

Your catcher's mitt?

I had the oil. I had it wrapped. I'm trying to break it in the pocket.

Uh, no, I haven't seen it, Leo. Sorry.

I shouted. The suction was reversed, and like a shot, They were sucked down into

the drain.

Excuse me?

My gentles, the family jewels.

You're saying literally... They were sucked down to the whirlpool drain. This

why I hit him.

Dennis DeLillo?

Yeah, substitute therapist. I'm going there seven weeks from my back. I never

saw him before today.

Not only he pushes the wrong button, but he becomes hysterical. I can't pry his

hand off the button.

I'm struggling. I got one hand over the side of the tub. The suction is

crucifying me. He's screaming, and I can't get his hand off.

This is when you struck Mr. DeLillo in the jaw? I'm not a violent man, but I

felt as if my gentles were in a vice.

Uh, without knowing the extent of the other man's injuries, it's, uh, hard to

tell where they're going with this, uh... I didn't think I hit him that

At the arraignment, we may find that they brought these charges simply to

deflect you from a civil suit.

I understand. Thank you.

Are you all right?

I'm in considerable discomfort.

Hey, hey, hold it up a minute.

Looks like he's getting off here.

Uh -huh. Okay, Mr. Mullen.

Showtime. He'll

keep

you a fresh face.

All right,

Nick. Come on. All right. We're helping this guy check. All right.

We're going to help you out, bro. This guy is shut up.

Anyone tells him there's no plea bargains, there's no rollovers, the bus

the head of the class, guaranteed you go away.

The guy's 86.

You got it.

Now you spread it around.

What do you think you do?

Hey, you're going to make me mad if you jump bad with me, William, much as I

want to help you out, bro. You're going to stay clean, Mullins, and we're going

to be right inside your shirt helping you. I hope you just spend your last

for this, man.

Ain't no big deal, man.

I'll be high in the out.

Then I got me some business to take care of. You ain't doing business no more,

chump. You got that? You are getting done, too. So you can forget about all

threats. Now watch this.

Hey, what can we do for you, William, huh?

Huh?

We're seeing you, Mullins.

I have committed myself to exactly...

Nothing with this purchase, Robert.

I took the item to a pawn shop, and the gentleman offered me $50, which is

exactly what I paid Jackie O'Dell.

Who are you talking to?

I thought I was talking to you.

Sounds like to me you're talking to yourself.

Is that so, Dr. Freud?

Yep. Just before taking the matrimonial plunge.

Unit 2202, shots fired. 98th Utica, respond.

2202 in response. Don't be so snide and smart.

Hey, I approve, Renko.

I think their land's the greatest.

Then don't tell me what I have or have not decided on. Hey, I'm telling you.

When I plunge into those icy waters, I should be the first to know.

Right.

What the hell's going on, Jesus? This chick's trying to catch me in.

Who might that be, Jesus?

Claudia, Claudia Ramirez. She comes and starts shooting at the place.

I'm barricaded inside my office. You know her?

Yeah, a little.

Senorita! Claudia!

Would you please kindly come out here?

He lied to me! Me mintió el desgraciado! He promised he'd do the right thing!

See what I mean?

Completely unreasonable!

Claudia!

complicated.

Well, is he all right?

I think so.

Say, do you remember who Claudia Ramirez is?

No. You interviewed her for that unwed mother panel.

She demanded to speak with you before she discussed her case. What case?

She took a shot at your case. You smart. I like her taste in targets.

Mrs. Farrello.

Claudia. You remember me?

To tell you the truth. You talk to me. Later you come back with some groceries.

Oh, my gosh.

You're my first interview. How are you?

She's charged with attempted murder.

Illegal possession and discharge of a firearm.

On the other hand, no one was hurt.

Property damage was minimal. She's an expectant mother.

I can't believe Jesus signed a complaint.

Because he knows I'm coming after him. He knows he don't get no peace.

He's the father?

Claudia, threats like that are exactly what the court is concerned about. We

have to be able to assure the judge there won't be any more violence.

I don't give no promise.

Claudia, you don't really want to kill Jesus.

No. I want that he marries me. I want a father for my baby.

Have you and Jesus sat down and talked about this?

He wouldn't. So I do what you told me.

You said if the father won't talk to you, put a gun to his head.

That was a figure of speech.

Our first order of business is getting these charges dropped. I think our

chances are fairly good.

As long as there are no outbursts in the court. No yelling at Jesus.

Claudia, do you understand what Miss Davenport's saying to you?

I won't make no trouble.

Will you come?

Maybe you can talk to him.

Oh, I don't know what I could say. Say he should marry me.

Say I don't want to be alone.

So how you doing?

Lieutenant Hunter asked me out on a date.

Yeah?

Yeah.

I think he's a nice guy.

Yeah, he's very nice.

At least I can get the name of his shrink.

Hey, one day at a time. Oh, man, I've been having these nightmares.

Real doozies.

Look, that's going to happen for a while.

Yeah, is Bob Tunnell there? This is Frank Ferillo calling.

What? Would you know where that is?

Good.

Yeah.

Hey,

man!

And don't do this to me! For what?

Hey, for a second time, I guess we can find it in our hearts to forgive you for

this, William.

I'm going to kill you, thug!

Is that the way you talk to somebody who's concerned about you?

No, he's clean.

Now we're going to pick up the bozo who dealt you, Billy Boy. Have a talk with

him, too. You're going to be out of connections real soon, bro.

You get smart!

You find another city, hairball.

you to excuse us for a minute. It's very important.

Sure. Thank you. I'll bid for it.

I'm sorry to track you down like this.

Don't be silly, friend.

So, uh, tell me.

So, uh, I bought a bottle last night and, uh, half hour ago I poured myself a

glass. Did you drink it?

No.

But, uh, I'm running out of steps.

What brought it on, Frank?

My job.

Got into a beef with my bosses and wound up transferred.

My marriage.

My wife and I are pretty distant at the moment. I'm not sure what all the issues

are, Bob.

What I do know is that for the first time in seven years, ever

since that time I called you at 2 o 'clock in the morning,

I really feel as if I might wind up drinking.

Well, it's very simple, Francis.

Don't do it.

Well, if you think it's going to put you back on the skids.

Seven and seven?

Um, no, isn't that for Mr. Crane?

No, he has the sidecar.

Ah, right, right, right, yeah.

Something for you, sir?

No, thank you.

Well, I guess this is what they mean when they say.

Red -handed, huh?

Oh, no, wait a minute, Frank. I want you to see something. I want to show you

something.

Good luck.

Where's the lightning, Frank?

Where's the world splitting open and swallowing me up?

You've kept coming to meetings.

Yeah, well, see, that's the hypocrisy. That's what I haven't had the strength

character to change. Because, you see, I can't handle it. You've kept coming

because you know that's crap.

You may think you're in control now, but tomorrow, next week... Ten months.

Ten months of tomorrows. I can handle it.

We're alcoholics, Bob.

You know how it's going to end up.

Yeah, speak for yourself.

I'm no automaton.

No damn organization's going to write the script of my life.

Well, at the moment, you're in bigger trouble than I am.

Play it in E, Frank. Play it in E.

Play it with strings.

You can have my number if you want to call.

I don't want you in the alley. I want you around the corner on 10th covering

Bulldog 2 and 3.

You have less than two minutes. Move it.

How we doing? You ready?

Find out.

Bulldog 4, give me your position.

Okay, keep cool. Watch your time.

Yep. We're ready.

Good.

It's two blocks down. You can't see it from here.

It's too bad we can't kick the door in. Throw in a stick of dynamite and we

close this place through quick.

Your people okay about that poor cop?

Pilski. They're a little hinky.

Well, this will be what they need. We lose a trooper, we get something back.

Well, yeah.

Ready to go. All right, let's go.

this successful bus. No comment.

How about in light of your reassignment?

What's he doing here?

What, they don't give you a chance to get your things? I didn't mean it to

that way.

Let me ask you something. What do you think if we shut down this stop -and

operation for a few days until manpower's up to steam? What do you

You know, I'm going to be handling transition here for a few weeks.

I really appreciate your info.

Would you excuse me?

Oh, sure. Yeah.

Uh, Deputy Chief, what are the plans for the stocking company?

I'll take it online, too.

Ben.

How was first aid division?

I haven't been there yet.

I got this bug.

Sound a little punk.

What was all that?

Oh, we got a little luck in when a stopping cop moves.

Pops some serious weight. Way to go.

Doesn't help you get your job back. No way, Bishop. The ship sailed, Henry. Her

death's on your head. It's your fault. You gave me the order. I don't know what

you're talking about. I said Pilski, too. I asked specifically. I gave you no

such order. Oh, you lying son of a... Lucy. Walk away, Lucy.

He's lying. Lucy. I asked him. I asked him.

Clear back to the area near the desk, please.

That's pathetic.

Is she telling the truth?

Rillo, I make roster assessments with 24 turnout sergeants a morning.

I get a fast half hour to do it if I get my calls through.

If she's right, she's wrong.

What do you mean she's right? Meaning I can't remember.

Now, Bates and I can call each other liars and screw up both our careers, or

can agree there was a bureaucratic mix -up. Where I authorized a general

turnout, yes, she asked me if Pilski was included. I said everyone was active.

She did not tell me who Pilski was.

So as long as you still got phantom feelings in your captaincy, get her to

to that.

I'll try, and I think you'd better leave her. I want to know that she agrees to

it. I'll call you. You know I could also romance with an open subordination. You

know that. I'll call.

you, Lucy.

Yeah?

Briscoe wants the story to IAD to be that you asked him about Pilski, but you

didn't identify his officer involved from the day before.

I did.

I told him Pilski, the one who was involved in the shooting. I said it.

you did, it didn't register.

You think I ought to go along? I can't tell you to do that, but I can tell you

it'll turn into his word against yours, and if that happens, you'll lose.

I should have known it was wrong. I should have known it was a mistake.

You relayed the order in good conscience.

Yeah, Esther has to know what to say. Let yourself out, Luce.

What shall I tell Briscoe?

Whatever you want.

Frank! What, Faye?

I'm sorry.

How are you doing?

I've been better.

I know, but have you ever been any worse?

No, sir.

No. I don't believe in disregarding the chain of command.

Excuse me, Mayor, but it is common knowledge Chief Daniels reassigned

Farrell at your... I understand.

I understand.

All right.

Thank you for your attention.

Evidence. They want to play hardball, Henry.

Cayetano will play too.

Don't care, Lieutenant. What position?

I keep trying to steady myself, but I can't.

I keep feeling as if I'm drowning, but as if I'm in the middle of the ocean and

there's nothing to grab onto.

Joyce needs me terribly right now.

I can't be there for her.

Sound familiar?

Went for a walk last night. I didn't drink it.

Had it right there.

Frank, I knew you have the strength.

Shouldn't have burdened you with this.

Are you kidding?

We have history.

Come here, Scooter.

I have to be in court in a few minutes.

The right side of the law this time, one of my welfare mothers.

Unless you want me to stay.

No, no, go.

Thanks.

No more of those walks, mister.

I'll tie your shoelaces together.

I guess I have to admire your persistence, Ray.

Do I have to paint no sale across my forehead?

Here is a commercial transaction I think you will be interested in.

Big cheese.

Empty. Educate me. It is the tape of you and the prostitute, Whitney Barnes.

You are the big cheese.

Where's the videotape?

In my possession.

I guess that puts all the cards on the table.

Yes.

Deal him. Frank Furillo gets his job back.

I .A .D., get your statement?

Yeah.

Have you seen Lucy?

Look.

Maybe you want to come back outside and you'll be better.

Yeah, I just got to... Luke.

I can't talk right now.

Captain, could I bother you for half a second?

What, Leo?

I know you've been transferred, but I was wondering if you could co -sign a

credit union loan application.

How much?

$2 ,400.

New car?

Baseball camp.

It's perfect, Captain. It falls right on my vacation.

A lot of money for a baseball camp.

No, sir. They give you a room and three squares a day, plus all the clinics.

How are things at home?

Home's fine, Captain.

Home's over.

Mrs. Schnitz is in Vegas.

I wired her all the money.

She hopes to become a dealer.

Sorry.

So could you sign?

You know, Captain, I was the first screen catcher in high school.

I used to say that aside from Mrs. Schnitz, it was the only time in my life

something good happened to me.

Captain, if there's ever anything that I can do for you... Could you give me a

few more boxes, then?

Give it.

Ozzie's downstairs.

You and I have to come to an understanding.

About? Don't be coy, Frank.

Ray Cayetano's never been more than your right arm.

Now, I'm going to have your word that all copies are destroyed.

I square you downstairs. We have a clean sheet top to bottom. Agreed?

Ozzie, I've given you fast and full support in this situation with Frank.

Pin arose on you, Fletcher. I'm reminding you of it only because I don't

motives confused when I ask you now to reinstate.

Please, hear me out.

It was my plan to bring Warren Briscoe in while I arranged a replacement.

Warren's just told me that he doesn't choose to be considered.

That leaves us looking at a command vacuum of several weeks' duration in a

precinct which has just lost its turnout, Sergeant, and which, on its

days... faces the morale problems concomitant to being this city's armpit.

of which makes me call you, Ozzie. If an hour ago, Frank Ferrello doesn't give

me a very persuasive indication of just how desperately he wants another crack

at this job, Frank has asked for a probationary reinstatement.

Given the circumstances, I'd like your permission to consider it. You don't

my permission.

Make your case.

Frank?

I'd very much like another chance.

I realize I was wrong to question policy.

And I'm sorry for the embarrassment it caused you.

If I get a chance, it won't happen again.

What frosted my butt was your calling stop -and -cop politics.

Calling it trendy.

I grew up on these streets.

I held my brother in my arms while he died of this poison.

If I made a mistake, maybe I did encourage an overcommitment of

It was not to buy popularity.

It would be a probationary reinstatement, Ozzie.

I think you try to be a good cop, Frank.

Credit me with trying to be a good mayor.

All right.

Thank you.

I'm going to be a tough probation officer, Frank.

Let's call it in, huh, guys? What do you say?

He's got a gun. Let's call it in. There are three cops here. How many cops do

you want?

He's coming.

Police! Freeze!

Hold it, Mullins!

Put it down, Mullins! It's over!

You want me?

You want me?

Drag me!

Caught my generals, Your Honor, my gentle parts.

Is this correct, Mr. Bernstein?

Mr. Burke's parts were sucked into a whirlpool drain?

My papers indicate defendant may have suffered some provocation, Your Honor.

Some? Some provocation?

How'd you like it? Can you imagine?

You jerk, you amateur, you moron.

All right, calm down now.

What we have here...

It's a classic crime of passion.

Potentially a monstrously lucrative civil suit.

But so the judge could make him do the right thing, is that right?

Claudia, I'm not a lawyer, so I can't help you with that part of it, but Miss

Davenport seems to think not.

Why not?

I'm not his common law or nothing.

Claudia, look, I think we just have to be as realistic as possible.

First time we met, I remember you told me you kept your baby.

I wasn't 17, and it wasn't my first child.

Besides that, I had job skills, and I had some money. He's got money. You

all that gang stuff, he don't have money?

He should marry me.

And what if he won't?

I think you should consider adoption.

I want my baby.

I know.

But what we don't know is whether Jesus wants your baby.

Your Honor,

there are extenuating circumstances. And?

I see a bun in the oven, which I take to be the responsibility of the

complainant. I want to be the fifth in this, Your Honor.

Spineless punk.

Yo, Judge.

How about some contempt of court here?

Contempt of life. That's what you are.

Look at this beautiful girl. Come with me, Claudia.

Come here.

Now put your hand on it.

Feel that. You can feel life in there. It's moving.

But you know what I don't understand?

I do not understand how a man doesn't love the woman that's carrying his

Yo. Who says I don't love her?

Of course I love her. Feels good when I'm with her.

Then why don't you drop the charges and marry her?

Who says I ain't gonna marry her?

Of course I'm gonna marry her. All right.

You had a blood test, young man?

Yes, sir. A couple of months ago.

Unrelated incident.

What? You're a woman.

I passed.

If the parties agreed to marry, will the state drop the gun charge?

Yeah.

And do you, Jesus Emilio Martinez, take this woman to be your lawful wedded

wife? Yeah, I do.

The ring. Ring? Ain't got a ring, bro.

Excuse me, Johnny, sir.

I think this ought to do you just fine, Jesus.

What do you need for this?

Exactly what I paid for it.

Seventy -five dollars.

Got you covered.

I now pronounce you man and wife.

Thank you, officer.

Oh, I'm so happy for you.

Cowboy?

Yeah.

I bought this for Marty. It was going to be a birthday present.

I want you to have it. What you do with it is up to you.

Oh,

Bobby Hill.

So that gonna be it with IED?

You'll have follow -up questions tomorrow.

Like what? What kind of questions?

What's your problem, Gary Baldwin?

I mean, you act like you got something to hide.

Look, if we would have busted that guy the first time, or even the second time,

he'd be alive.

So what's IED gonna say about that, huh?

They're not gonna ask about that.

What are you going to tell him? Look, Harry, didn't you ever use discretion on

possession bust?

The man came out with a piece, Harry.

He was ordered to disarm.

He shot at us. I know.

We hunted the guy.

He was hunting, too.

Family.

Look, what I know is that the guy threatened Captain Furlow's wife.

Does that give us permission to kill him?

Look, you've got to understand something, kid.

We stayed on that guy's back. We gave him a chance to make a mistake, but he

made it. It was his choice.

And he could have come in, right?

And you gave him a chance to drop his weapon.

Convict yourself of what's in your heart, Harry. You're not going to make a

man.

You'll have violence in your heart. A lot.

Detective.

Miss Gatlinburg?

Part of me wants to ask what happened.

What's that?

How William Mullins died.

He just robbed a liquor store.

He was armed.

Resisted arrest.

He shot at you?

Uh -huh.

I'm sorry for asking you that.

It's okay.

Thank you.

Take it easy. It's okay.

Got a friend here to see you.

Daryl Ann.

Daryl Ann.

Whatever it is, just say it.

Um, do you think that you, um, would marry me?

Well, I already said that I would.

Well, then, uh... You mean this is it?

You're asking me?

I figure I have to, or else what would I do with this?

It's beautiful.

I can't believe it.

I thought you were going to give me the boot as sure as anything.

I thought about it, and I decided any man I'm going to give

you up ought to have his head examined.

I love you, Andy Renko.

And I love you, future Mrs. Andy Renko.

Are you as scared as I am?

Sure you want it back?

I was surprised how much.

I stood in that station house today, and I looked at that decent, kind man,

knowing what he'd done for me.

Everything I hear says that went by the book.

I looked at Washington, and I felt... I thought of all the decent people

working in that precinct.

Doing terrible things because their jobs made them.

I hated where I was standing. I hated that station house.

Oh, Frank.

I need you.

I need us back together so much.

have been separate.

Ever think it might not be our fault?

It's the damn work.

The damn world we work in.

I nearly took a drink today.

You know anyone who wants a fifth of hooch?

Trade, you could always use another gun, and I could sure use a belt.
