What do you think?

It's a thorough, specific, solid, terrific job.

But?

I'm surprised you don't call for Daniel's resignation.

It wasn't in the commission's mandate to address that. Maybe not.

But there's enough here to make it a reasonable conclusion.

Then the chief should draw it. Or city council.

Really? It's not my judgment.

Not without criminality.

You loyalist furlough.

Look, if I were in Daniel's shoes, I'd probably resign.

But I'm not. He is.

I'm going to show him the draft this morning. You what?

He commissioned it. I owe it to him.

Maybe he'll do the right thing.

Maybe.

I love you.

See you at the council.

I love you, Frank.

What happened?

Patrolman Bauer took off night shift, sick about 3 a .m. Says this kid

him on the way home.

You made it, Rodriguez.

Scooted around long enough to make it a day shift report.

Witnesses? Bauer called it in himself.

Him and his pal tried to take me off, whacking me with some kind of pipe.

We find it?

The kid took off with it, the one I didn't pump.

Thanks. Come on, Bauer, I'll drive you to your house.

Just the way I want to spend my morning. Hey, it ain't exactly my dream to eat

about. How about we save the whiz in the morning? It's open.

Item five, squad room security procedures.

Now, short of frisking everybody, which isn't practical, or installing a

separate entrance with metal detectors, which we don't have the dough to do,

squad room access for civilians is always going to be a matter of judgment.

means there's going to be mistakes.

People, every one of you.

Try to be a last checkpoint.

Try to be alert for bing -bongs and weirdos in case, like what happened last

Thursday with the grieving father of Harry Garibaldi, in case your duty

sergeant makes a wrong call.

Okay, yeah, item six.

Now, people, this is not one of those paintings that you'll find at the Modern

Art Museum.

Believe it or not, this is an ordinary traffic ticket.

It was returned by the traffic court for inability to prosecute because of

Summons' illegibility.

Now, the violator here seems to have been arrested for something that reads,

Frogger to hide, slop sink.

And the signature on this magnificent piece of police work.

seems to read Benji Binko.

Now, I don't recall any Officer Binko in his precinct.

And I would appreciate if he would step forward, identify himself, so he could

translate these hieroglyphics.

are so good as to read the original charge force.

What's this word here?

I don't know, Andy. You wrote it.

A fire to heat stop sign.

Anybody can figure it out.

Nice going, Andy. But from now on, write them so others can read them, huh?

Be quiet.

We can't forget the fundamentals.

Okay, people, let's roll.

Let's do the job.

I am businessmen. You are stuffing my business. Over here, camel press.

Sergeant Jablonski, if memory serves, you have a dog?

Blackie. Yes, well, perhaps we could talk after work about getting Blackie a

canine companion.

I don't think Blackie and me would be interested in that. Oh, well, I'm

convinced that we could kindle that interest.

Once you heard my presentation, I'll say just one word.

Sharpay.

Sharpay. Sharpay. It could bring a whole new dimension to your life, Sergeant.

I'll look forward to talking with you.

Geez, I can hardly wait.

F -A -D -I.

Correct. Why you arrest me and not real criminal?

Because the subway is off limits on licensed vendors.

Toys are for little babies, to make them happy. Not to be crime.

Meow, meow, meow.

Hello, little baby.

Babies really like this thing.

Are you kidding with me?

They are crazy nuts for them.

You have baby.

Here, here. Take, take. I give, I give.

Here you are. Take.

And, uh, I go.

Meow, meow.

Puppy, go.

Animal charades, me?

Fuzzy, stay.

Animal charades? Why don't you mind your own freaking business, you freaking

freak?

We have a 9 -11.

I'm Rodney Progress.

Seat surplus, door corner, People's Drive.

Captain, I'll be right there.

Captain, we got an officer involved, night shift guy Dave Bauer. Was it a

shooting? He's going to write it up now.

Victim was on a scholarship to Amherst. He was back in the city to present at

the Boyce Merritt Award.

That was his high school principal and wants a meeting with him. Anytime after

the city council hearing.

Stan, Chief Daniel's office, back in and out. Right, Captain. We've got

community heat on this, even if it was a righteous shoot.

Kid sounds like Horatio Alger. What was Horatio doing on that street at four in

the morning?

What was Dave Bauer doing there?

Lieutenant, I know you're not a hands -on kind of personnel officer.

You get that right. Yeah, but we've been through seven tackies in the last two

weeks. Well, maybe eight's the magic number. Lieutenant, the people that

getting from this guy Pearson and department personnel just ain't

I'm not sure this Miss Dolan even took the exam.

Check her records?

Yeah, it says that she took the exam, but the day after that incident with

Garibaldi's father, she was waffling. You want to know what I think?

Only if I don't have to do anything about it. I believe the job

are being offered in return for certain favors.

Favors? Like, uh, of a sexual nature.

So, uh, you figure Pearson's turning these ladies over before he turns them

It's certainly not a subject that I want to brooch with the man, but that's my

guess, correct?

Well, uh...

Yeah, I guess maybe this is the kind of thing I should... I wish you would.

Tell Miss Dolan I'd like to see her in the lineup. I appreciate that.

Hey, I'm the personnel officer.

Whatever you wear will be great.

Hey, Lynetta. It's J .D. LaRue. Listen, this is a cop hangout we're going to, so

don't break out the A -threads. And don't eat lunch.

Dinner's being prepared by Cordon Bleu LaRue.

Are you guys mine?

Okay, then.

Yeah. See you later.

Me too.

All right, go ahead.

Okay, so I'm out of the car.

I'm fighting with this kid.

Whack. He hits me right here with a steel pipe, and I'm down. But I got him

the sweatshirt. I'm holding on. I'm trying to pull out my piece.

Now, this other kid comes out of nowhere, who he also is trying to kick

of. I get off a shot. The other kid screams.

The first kid lets go. He turns to the other kid, who's hit, which I also tried

to plant the first kid, too.

I took two shots at him, but he got away.

Can you describe the sale in Iran?

Yes. 5 '9", gray sweatshirt, green pants.

See his face?

No, it was a no -ride -up brand stock.

Hey, why don't you save the attitude, huh? Hey, I see his face. I'm going to

give you his face first, aren't I? Hey, listen, Bauer. For openers, your story's

a joke.

If you stopped at the convenience at 133 and Decker, how come you parked at 131?

There's no closer spots. Oh, well, congratulations for being the first cop

history not to double park.

Excuse me, Officer Bauer.

I'm I .A .D. Officer Shipman. Join the Inquisition.

I'm here to get your statement about this morning's incident.

I just gave it to these guys. Separate investigations, officer. I'm afraid

you'll have to give it to me, too.

Hang on a minute. Can I talk to you a sec, Officer Bauer?

What's the problem?

Listen, Bauer, you're giving IAD your statement's going to give us just enough

time to go to the convenience and find out you're not on a night camera.

And maybe you had business on 131st, and maybe you've got a good reason for not

wanting to talk about it. Maybe it was a righteous shoot. I'm telling you it

was. I'm telling you.

I don't care how good your reasons are for lying. If you don't want to be

treated like a perp instead of another cop, by the time we get back here, you'd

better start giving straight answers.

Come on.

These are all yours.

I'm looking through your app file, Miss Dolan, and, well, I find the grade, but

no copy of a test.

Well, Mr. Pearson gave me the examination orally.

I see.

And where did this oral exam take place?

In a hot tub.

Pearson's got a hot tub? No, we went to the Bubble Your Pleasure spa.

It's pretty clear what happened, isn't it? Do you like playing cat and mouse,

making me feel dirty? Hey, hey, hey.

Come on, here.

Here, go on. Give him a blow.

Get him dragged.

Look, uh... I, uh... I'm not making any moral judgments here, Miss Dolan, but I

gotta get the facts.

All right.

So, uh... After the exam, know what?

Dance with no steps.

I'm afraid so.

And the next morning, when you wake up, I'm saying you're qualified. The next

morning?

Try five minutes.

Five minutes?

Like a kid with candy, huh? What is that supposed to mean? I can't take this.

Hey, hey, hey, take it easy, Ms. Dolan. I'm not qualified.

I shouldn't have this job. But I don't need... You don't need to take any pinch

and tickle. Hey, I'm just making a little joke here, all right? I mean, we

you ain't no merry freak about this area, you know?

That is it.

I quit.

Hey, hey, hey. Look, hey.

Who's that?

Listen, I'm just fooling around with you, all right?

Just having a good time.

I slept in mud.

I ate water bugs.

They killed my woman.

But I didn't care!

Because I had a mission!

To bring the prisoners back home!

And you!

You didn't even write your congressman!

Because people don't care about American servicemen still missing in action!

And right there, in the kitchen, Americans!

Treating them better than a water buffalo!

Who you calling a buffalo?

Why don't you be quiet and let these folks eat in peace?

Peace?

I just

delivered

a birthday greeting. I'm an actor. I'm allowed to improvise around myself.

You're going in. Joe, Joe, think for just a second. You want to deal with

guy for the next four hours? Think about it.

You want me to bust this guy? I want him out.

Come on.

He doesn't let me win. Out!

You know,

Frank, when people were telling me one of my rising young lieutenants was a

drunk, unfit to serve, an embarrassment, it wasn't easy to support you.

It took something you obviously haven't got.

Loyalty. A sense of gratitude.

I said we'd follow the evidence wherever it led, Chief. What evidence? Where?

There isn't a shred in here to incriminate me. You use an amalgam of

and innuendo to build your shrill little conclusion.

I didn't come here to debate the findings.

Then what?

I thought you had a right to see this before it went to the council. Why? So

have time to follow my sword? So you could walk in there with my badge in

pocket?

Frank, whatever last flickering loyalty brought you here, I'd like to appeal to

now.

I'd like you to tear out that last section and leave it in my wastebasket.

The indictments of Keenan's bunch and the rest, fine, first -rate job.

But let's throw out this last bunch of pontification.

I won't do that, Chief.

Then take your best shot, friend.

But it won't be the last one fired.

Lieutenant Norma Bunce, Mr. Pearson, personnel officer, Hill Street.

Phone's out?

No, the phone ain't out, and don't crack wise with me, Pearson.

What's our problem?

Our problem is that you've been sending us morons to be our khaki officers,

which me and my duty sergeant couldn't figure out until Miss Dolan told us a

little story about how she got to be qualified after you gave her a little

exam down at the Bubble Your Pleasure hot tub salon.

a little mutt. You're in it up to your lips, Pearson. You could be going away.

No. No?

Falsification of records, solicitation to commit lewd and immoral acts.

Oh, God. Oh, God is correct there, Pearson.

You better get your mind right.

What do you need?

I need khakis that can write their own names, and preferably some other

people's. You got it. And starting today, Miss Dolan, uh, she left us. I'll

someone there at two.

Lieutenant, all this stuff about going to jail.

Just do your job, all right?

Would you want to help me with my screening procedure?

I'm just thinking, you know, if you had a hands -on interview, what are you

suggesting here? Oh, I just want to be able to satisfy your exact needs.

Our exact needs are we don't need any more airheads.

Tell you what, I'll send the candidate up there.

She'll understand that it's subject to your interview approval.

Now, All things being equal, Lieutenant, give me a sense in terms of physical

appearance.

What do you mean?

Lieutenant, loosen up.

What do you want to see in a woman?

I'll tell you one thing.

I think this country's too hung up on thinness.

Just look at the transcript, Lieutenant.

It's the record of a life.

We're all aware of Rodney Yarborough's achievements, Mr. Stevenson. These would

have only been the beginning.

You think it's making Mr. Yarborough feel any better?

I think it's a little late for you people to start worrying about what hurt

James Yarborough.

I'm sorry for your loss, Mr. Yarborough.

The fact is, our officer said he was attacked by your son and another boy.

Another boy.

Oh, come on, Mr. Stevenson. An honest human.

My first full scholarship to an Ivy League college and you say he's out

committing a robbery.

He was on that street.

Your officer said there were two boys.

That's correct.

Henry?

Captain Perillo, this is Mr. Yarborough.

I'm sorry for your loss, sir.

Thank you, Captain.

And Mr.

Stevenson, Rodney's principal.

Your officer took a precious asset from our community, Captain.

The community's going to demand justice.

We all want that, Mr. Stevenson.

Let's just leave things for now.

Let's let the police do their investigation.

Justice better come quickly.

Captain, did you check the night film at that convenience store Bauer said he

went to? He's not on it.

Could he have mistaken the store?

Only one opened around that time of night, Captain.

Captain, I want your man on the desk for further notice.

The community is reacting very strongly to this shooting. I wish we could give

early disposition.

Officer Bauer is not being very forthcoming.

Thank God.

They're killing me.

I mean, I'm raw meat for that shoe fly for my A .D. Your statement doesn't

out. We can't place you at that convenience store.

Listen to me, Captain.

I, uh... I got personal problems.

I got no home since the wife kicked me out. I can't sleep when I get off.

I have to drive around to unwind.

I usually stop in that place for smokes.

Maybe, uh... Maybe I didn't go in there last night. I mean, I'm exhausted.

I just got beat up. Maybe I'm confused.

But the point is, it was a good shoot.

Listen to me, Bauer.

The kid you shot wasn't some street punk with a sheet.

He was in college.

He'd never had a day's worth of trouble. I'm telling you, him and the other kid

took me off. And I'm prepared to believe that. But I want to know how it went

down, and I want to know now.

Otherwise, get a lawyer.

I already told her pretty much the way it was.

Except there was a girl there. I don't want to extract this piece by piece. All

right, all right.

That was with a hooker. You know her name?

Joan L.

Pick her up. See if she corroborates Flowers' statement. You got it, Captain.

Frank, we gotta get going.

You have the indictment?

Signed and sealed.

Nervous? Terrified? No. Too late for that now.

I came here to get my sciatic nerve massaged. Yeah, some fruitcake almost

me with a bow and arrow. If it's that Brantford jerk again, Lucy. Hey.

Is this guy all right?

Hey, Johnny, we just saw this cardiologist.

They say it's over.

They say we lost.

But it'll never be over till we get you back to America free.

Put that bow and arrow down, Brantford. We gotta get them out of here. Come on,

come on, come on. Get down. The fun's over now.

I have a mission to accomplish.

Right. You can't stop me.

Only delay me.

Right. Yeah. Well, we'll see about that. You have the right to remain silent.

Hey, you're looking awful good today. Shut up, Brantford. Hey, you better

to me now. Hey, what's the problem?

You just got rubber tips on the end of the arrow. Yeah, you should have told

that to the guy outside. He doesn't have a rubber tip chest and those are real

angina pains.

Come on. You have the right to remain silent. If you give up the right to

silent, anything you say can and will be about to get you in trouble.

Uh, Mr. Burhan?

Lieutenant Hunter, you'll have to forgive me. I'm late for a plane. Oh,

could I just have 30 seconds, sir? I need a quick pep talk.

What's the problem?

Well, you have approached a number of my colleagues and friends, and I am

certain that I've been close to some sales.

Not a good closer, eh?

Well, I was hoping that you could rev me up, you know.

When I left after our first meeting, I was going full throttle. Your situation

cries out for our sales support group seminars, Lieutenant.

Enroll in my section. It's $100.

Did you bring a checkbook?

Well, uh, no, I didn't think there'd be any further cost. Lieutenant, you have

an investment that you must protect.

You came wishing to be wrapped up. The support group will wrap you up.

$100.

This junk like that.

Oh.

All I have is this $40.

I trust you with the rest.

What does the support group need?

I will inform you by registered mail.

Magnus Burhan?

Who wants to know?

Detective John Scanlon, Bunker Squad.

I have a warrant for your arrest. Mr. Burhan isn't here. That's Burhan.

Lieutenant Hunter, Hill Street Precinct.

What are the charges?

Guys running Ponzi schemes in five states.

Genius.

Conclusion eight.

The commission today files indictments against 39 police officers from four

precincts and central division.

Obviously, this number of indictments and the organized nature of the criminal

activities of Deputy Chief Keenan and his associates raises the question of

possible department -wide corruption.

We find no evidence of systemic corruption other than this network

by Keenan.

While the commission finds no evidence of criminal activity on the part of the

chief of police, Fletcher Daniels, we nevertheless observe that Keenan was the

chief's deputy for three and a half years and was also employed in Daniels'

mayoral campaign.

It's the opinion of the commission that if Chief Daniels didn't know what Deputy

Chief Keenan was doing, he should have known.

Finally, the commission regrets the attitude among many members of the force

testified that a certain amount of corruption

quote, goes with the territory, unquote.

Corruption flourishes where an atmosphere of tolerance for it prevails.

The appointment of this commission by Chief Daniels, while a positive step to

clear the air, is only a beginning.

We must not wait five years to continue the work begun today.

Thank you. Thank you, Captain.

On behalf of the entire subcommittee.

This meeting is adjourned.

I don't question Captain Ferrella's intentions.

I don't accuse him of personal ambition.

I do feel his conclusions distort the evidence in his own committee's report.

Naturally, I'm heartened that Captain Scapezzi...

who also served on the commission, shares my feelings.

That's correct.

Chief Daniel, do you have any intention of resigning? Absolutely not.

And given all the trumpet blasts of righteousness that Captain Carillo has

sounding, I feel quite certain if he'd called I should resign, he'd have called

for my resignation.

Watch your back, Carillo. I understand and sympathize with the community's

concern over the loss of this young man. In a small way, I hope my presence here

today dramatizes that concern.

Has Officer Bauer been arrested, Chief?

The shooting of Rodney Yarborough and the robbery which Hill Street Officer

Bauer alleges preceded it are both under investigation.

In addition, Hill Street Officer Bauer's status is currently under review by

Internal Affairs.

I can guarantee you that as soon as all the facts are in, appropriate measures

will be taken.

Then an arrest is imminent?

I'll have to consult with Captain Frillo on that question. As you know, the

captain's been rather busy on other fronts today.

Miss Davenport, we've got a customer for you. Alan Branford, room B. Thank you,

sir.

I'm God.

I'll call you from court.

Don't count on dinner.

Long lunch, huh?

Has there been any progress on the Arbro shooting?

We won't discuss that yet.

You have a rather selective concern for discretion, Captain.

All right, go now.

You can clear me.

Just tell the truth about those kids. Is she a witness in the yard?

Bauer's got a supporting witness?

You're disappointed?

I want to hear her interrogation. That's not appropriate.

I want to hear her interrogation, Captain.

A rogue cop and a hooker. This just gets better and better.

I ain't saying nothing until I know what you people want.

I've been caught in these switches before.

Ain't nobody trying to catch you in the switch tonight.

That's what they said the last time. And it cost me six months in Margaret

Cooper.

She made a statement? We just got started, Chief.

Who's he?

I'm Chief of Police Daniels.

You have nothing to fear.

Just tell us exactly what happened on that street this morning. And don't feel

you have to protect a policeman.

You expect me to believe that?

Ms. Robinson, has anyone in this precinct, anyone, including a senior

tried to get you to protect Officer Bauer?

I don't know what they want. I told them that when they picked me up. Just tell

me what you need.

The truth.

We just want the truth.

And nothing will happen?

All right.

I was copping up at the Cuban zone, 137.

And Bauer comes in and scores some coke.

An addict to boot.

How many of those you got patrolling the hill?

Go on, Joannelle.

So Bob will see me, and he tells me I'm gonna give him a freebie.

Maybe I shouldn't say no more. Maybe I need a lawyer with me. You have complete

immunity. Go on.

So we get in the car, and we go down to 131.

And I did the man, okay?

My side of the door was busted, so he had to get out of the car to let me out.

And that's when they jumped him.

Who jumped him?

Them two boys. They must have followed us.

One of them I seen at the Cubans all the time.

He hit Bauer upside the head with a tire iron, and Bauer started fighting with

him. And then the other one jumped in, and then Bauer shoots.

And that's all I saw.

And that's when I ran like hell.

So Bauer shot as he was being attacked.

That's right.

And that's the way it went down.

They're going to do it to me, you know that?

These damn shoe flyers are going to cost me my kid.

How's that?

I'm in a custody fight.

She leaves him locked in his room, you believe that, six years old?

Try to call him a slut all day, he gets the fleets in.

You'll be able to take care of a kid?

I was going to hire one of them Central American illegals. They live in, you pay

them 50 bucks a week.

Jonelle?

Take her with you to the Cubans. Right, Captain. You're telling the truth, Joan

L.? Excuse me, Chief Daniels?

Stay, Bauer, sir.

I'm sure Joan L. probably didn't make me look like a saint in there. But if she

told the truth, I should be okay.

Okay?

Officer, what I heard in that room turned my stomach.

You're a disgrace to the band.

Chief. What? Don't do it.

Don't do what, Captain? To our hill street with one bad cop.

Let's be consistent, bro.

I failed to sniff out Keenan. You're willing to go after my scalp? Chief,

away from me, Bauer.

I think I need some fresh air.

This whole precinct makes me sick.

You know the whereabouts of over 2 ,000 American servicemen have not been

verified? Of course you don't want to think about that. Because if you think

about that, then you've got to think about the whole thing.

Am I right?

Mr. Branford?

Am I right? Mr. Branford.

Hey, Joyce.

How you doing?

You know, it really knocks me out.

An actor's out there in the general public trying to practice his craft.

And he tries to raise a little social consciousness and everybody freaks out.

Mr. Brantford.

Ellen.

I'd like your consent to request psychiatric hospitalization.

Of course.

What you like, I like. But hospitalization at this point in my

know. It would probably prevent the filing of criminal charges.

Joyce.

I'm a complicated guy.

That's fair. You know what they do to complicated people in the puzzle house?

They try to smooth us all out.

I do not want to lose who I am.

Who are you?

I don't know.

It's what I love about myself.

I only need one thing.

What? A three -piece suit.

My cleaner's is right around the corner.

I'll do what I can.

J .D., I was just thinking that maybe... Here he comes.

What? Another do and don't about Lynetta at dinner tonight. I was just going to

say that Lynetta might probably be a little nervous, you know? I mean, it's

that she doesn't have a sense of humor. Man, this woman has got her hooks in

you, Neil.

Hey, man.

I got you now.

Oh, well, now we know what she was doing inside.

Hey, now.

On the sofa.

Sweatshirt, green pants?

Derek, I remember his name now.

Come on,

move, move. Get your butt out of here.

You're busted, Derek.

I'm busted.

Come on, bro, let's go.

You have the right to remain silent. If you give up the right to remain

silent... Oh, boy, you ain't got to explain nothing to me, man. My brother

Who's your brother?

Rodney Yarbrough, college hero.

Rodney dead, man. I don't care what you do to me, man.

Mr. Brantford, I have the feeling that more was involved here than simply an

actor plying his trade.

Your Honor, I commit to the parts I play, and sometimes I overcommit to

And in my attempt to force public awareness, I have forced up the

my craft.

You're saying that if I release you, these exhibitions of guerrilla theater

cease? Yes, Your Honor. I have just been informed by my employer that I have

been terminated, so I'm going back into repertory theater downtown.

O 'Neill.

No automatic weapons involved.

Seems pretty rational to me. Your Honor, you just saw a man acting sane. Believe

me, Mr. Branford needs years of psychotherapy.

How about jail, Your Honor?

I hate to put him in Michigan Avenue, Erwin.

He'll be eaten alive.

You have a criminal complaining?

No, Your Honor.

Step back.

Mr.

Branford.

I'm going to release you on your own recognizance. You return for a hearing

two weeks.

Keep your nose clean, and I'll consider dropping criminal charges at that time.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Bailiff, next case.

You were

beautiful in there.

I'm not sure the judge did what's best for you.

I'm going to take you out to dinner.

I know a nice little Andalusian. Don't you understand?

The judge freed you against my recommendation. I think you need help.

I'm sure you do.

Don't you ever shout at me again.

No.

Don't ever do that.

I'm level with me.

Where do I stand now?

Jonelle Robinson's statement essentially corroborates yours.

LaRue and Washington are out trying to find the other seven.

I think you're probably okay as to the incident itself.

My career is still finished, though, am I right?

She told us some other things, too.

I know you probably don't want to hear this, but I used to be a pretty good

Exhausted. Why don't you get some sleep? We'll talk tomorrow.

I've got to square my life away.

Captain, I want to resign.

I think there's sense in that.

If I quit, I might be able to still save my pension.

I promise I'll try to clean up.

What's wrong?

I'd like to speak with Officer Bauer again, Captain.

Chief, the shoot was good. What are you doing to me here?

This isn't about the shooting.

I'd like you to submit to a physical examination.

Chief, I'm all on my feet.

Officer Bauer, you may want to consult an attorney.

You have that right, officer.

On the other hand, you may just want to get it over with.

I just want to get myself a security job someplace.

I just want a good enough jacket so I can support myself.

Are you willing to submit to a physical examination, officer?

You want to see?

Huh?

Right there.

That's where I hit.

Sometimes there.

I put eight good years in.

Out of how many on the force?

Officer Bauer, you can consider yourself under suspension.

Celeste Patterson.

That's right.

Uh, word processing, uh, bilingual typing, even CPR.

Now, you sound like a regular wonder woman.

Well, I consider myself qualified. So, did Mr. Pearson say anything special

about the interview?

Just that you'd be the final judge if I got the job.

Uh -huh.

And, uh...

Hints in that area, Miss Patterson?

You mean the hint where either you and I get it on or I don't get the job?

Bingo. Well, I'm going to tell you the same thing I told that scumbag Pearson.

There's me and my six -year -old son.

Now, I need this job, and thanks to you two, I got it. Got it?

Because if I don't, I'm going to go to the mayor, and I'm going to go to the

chief of police, and I'm going to go to the state's attorney, and then I'm going

to go see my congressman.

And I'm going to raise such a stink about sexual harassment that you're

wish that you were dead.

I'll be right back.

Hey, whoa, whoa.

You need me for any more? No, we're going to need you for a witness

Janelle. It'll just be a little while. Hey, why don't we go roller skating

afterwards? We know you're lying. Don't say that.

Brother died while you were doing a felony, Derek. We're going to have to

you with murder. I told Rodney not to come out with me. I moved out three

ago so that he wouldn't get hooked. So don't say I killed him, man. Not my own

brother. No, no, no.

P .D.'s not back from arraignment yet. Put him in holding. Let him cool out

before we take a break. He wasn't there to rob.

He wasn't there to get high, man. He just wanted to protect me. He just

to hide from me.

Oh, Miss Patterson.

How'd it go?

With Lieutenant Bunce? Yeah.

Do you like your cap using for work a few minutes before shift, Sergeant?

A few minutes beforehand would be great.

See you at 0650.

0650, huh?

Lieutenant, Miss Patterson looks like a keeper, huh? Interview went good?

Very good. Exceptionally well qualified.

I appreciate your stepping in. Look, Sergeant, don't ever involve me in

personnel question, all right?

The entire area is a quagmire.

Excuse me.

I'd like to speak to Lieutenant Goldbloom, please. Mr. Yarbrough?

Lieutenant. There is a way that my son, Rodney, might have been involved in that

incident. Mr. Yarbrough. Not robbing that officer, but perhaps protecting

someone else. Mr. Yarbrough, we've arrested Derek.

What's he saying?

I can't make it out. We're going to take this one, okay?

Oh, these are good.

My cute little fella.

Stay right there. You hear me? Stay there.

Stay there. I'll be right back.

How do you do?

I'm Prunella Ashton Wilkes.

Howard Hunter.

I hope you don't think I'm soliciting. Well, no, I... Good.

Do you own, perchance, a Sharpay?

Well, I might. Now, let me assure you, there is no need to be evasive. My only

concern is the animal's well -being. Well, he's fine. He's just... I wasn't

attempting to be evasive.

It's just that I have been told that this dog may not in fact be a

purebred Sharpay. But just look at him.

Of course he's a Sharpay. Oh, and how fortunate that he's here.

And not in the hands of that scoundrel Burhan.

You know Burhan?

Oh, yes.

It was we of the Animal Friendship League who had the Bunko Squad sort him

And of course, in my opinion, any punishment short of thumbscrews and

would be insufficient for the man.

Well, I tend to share your sentiments.

But now, my primary concern is for this doggie.

Do you intend to keep him, or was your...

Purchase inspired by Burhan's franchise scheme.

Oh, no, no, no. I was interested in a companion animal.

I am definitely going to keep him.

Oh, God.

Gums.

May I have a look?

Oh, of course.

Splendid set.

Richard Constable.

May I?

Of course.

You know, my grandfather killed the 7th Earl of Larchmer with one of these.

He did?

Oh, yes. Put a ball right through his eye.

The Larchmers accused my family of selling cardboard boots in the Crimean

Tried to blame the trench foot plague on us.

We killed the whole lot of them.

In duels, of course.

Oh, dear.

I am banging on. Sorry.

It's just that...

Weapons arouse an absolute passion in me.

Well, I think I know what you mean.

Do you?

Are you military?

Well, yes, I have been.

I am a lieutenant in command of an emergency action team for the police.

How stirring.

I'm going to give you my card.

I run a dog obedience school.

Well, I could bring my puppy.

Oh, yes, do.

That would please me very much.

Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot. There we are, Pizza La Rue.

Looking good, baby. What do you think of those shrimp I wrapped with anchovies

and bean dip? You never told me you were the master chef. Well, you know, it's

just a hobby. Mrs. Kaliske lets me work out on special occasions.

I'm the host here. Okay, okay. I guess you can take the girl out the waitress,

but you can't take the waitress out the girl.

You don't drink, Teddy?

Not socially.

Hey, here's to whatever the two of you got and plenty more of it.

Hear that, Neil?

Yeah, baby.

Hey, you guys want a couple of bucks for a room? Come on, eat first, huh?

Hey, Davey. Yo. Oh, excuse me.

Here, can you cut that for a minute?

Yeah.

What?

Oh, man, when?

Captain, though?

Yeah, all right. All right.

What's happening, babe?

Powerade, he's gone.

Mrs. Bauer?

Yes. I'm Captain Farillo, Hill Street Precinct.

Oh, you know, Dave isn't here.

He doesn't live here. I know that, Mrs. Bauer. I came here to tell you that

earlier this evening, Dave took his own life.

I'm sorry.

We were separated, but I'm still his wife, so I still get his benefits, don't

I mean, like, because he killed himself doesn't cancel anything, does it?

It doesn't cancel anything.

Thank you for coming by, Captain.

I'll never forgive Daniels for what he did with Dave Bauer.

Bad a cop as Bauer was, any human being in that room could see he was fighting

for his life.

All Daniels could see was a way to get at me.

You would have let Bauer retire?

Any other day, any other precinct, so would Daniels.

Instead, when he handed me Bauer's badge, he was loving it.

I know this is the last thing you want to hear right now, Frank.

But I think you were a little naive today.

I was and I won't be again.
