In its wisdom, division has decreed citywide prostitution sweeps.

Yeah, this, of course, ignores that practically everybody, including the

is zeroed out in disposable income, not to mention that it's 23 degrees.

Well, you know why that is, Sarge? Last July, someone downtown decided to make

this sweep, and it took division this loan to figure out a plan how to do it.

Yeah, yeah, you're probably right, Andy. But that don't change the fact that

target blocks for this precinct are Van Buren between 137 and 140.

Lieutenant Hunter is coordinating.

Six transfers, people.

Officer Jack Steger from Polk Avenue.

He's an old compadre of mine back there.

Officers Danielle Wiley, Ron Garfield, and James

Trapido. Trapido.

Right. You got it.

Welcome. Bundle up.

ongoings and undercovers. Hendry and Bonzel are at Barry's Electronic

and Mick Belker continues preliminary investigation into a PCB undercover.

Item A.

Now, the ball's back in our court, people.

The city exterminators say that any further comprehensive fumigation of

premises could possibly result in making some of us humans sick.

So to combat these roaches, they suggest that we take prophylactic measures.

We gotta keep foodstuffs out of unauthorized areas.

Last item.

That's a very happy one, too.

Six o 'clock tonight at the Kubiak Lodge, Nick Belker embarks on the sea of

matrimony with his longtime sweetheart, Robin the Tiger.

You a little nervous or what? Belker was nervous because he had to take a

shower. He looks nice.

The ceremony is going to be at 6 o 'clock sharp. The Kupiak is graciously

providing the reception.

Okay, that's it. Let's have a safe shift.

Well, let's get going. We're getting away out here. Good luck.

Congratulations.

Thanks, Bob.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mayor.

Thanks, Daniel.

sandwich is getting cold and greasy, baby.

He's not going to eat it, man.

Renko is the total pig, man. He'll eat anything.

Renko, let's go.

We're both wrong. He's waiting for it to get colder and greasier.

So, uh...

Uh, Mick, I figure you can give me the ring at the Coby Act. Fine.

Or you can give it to me now.

I'll give it to you at the Coby Act. Fine.

I'm a little nervous.

I haven't been a best man for 25 years.

I've never been married, ever.

Hey,

Detective. Hey, Rock, how are you, my man?

How you doing? Good. Good to be back up here. Hey, look, uh, what are people

putting in for Detective Belk's press? Hey, hey, we got it covered, Rock.

Appreciate the thought, though.

All right.

J .D., when are you picking up Belkin's wedding gift?

Now.

What's it look like?

Like a refrigerator.

I don't know.

J .D., do you think a refrigerator was a good wedding present? I've been

thinking about it. Hey, coffee, I'll tell you what, okay? If you think you

find a better present, next time you be the head of the gift committee, okay?

Hey, I asked you a simple question. Hey, man, it's not decent level. Come on,

let's go get mixed up.

Wait.

a muffin.

There's a giant cockroach. You didn't eat it, did you? I don't know.

Let me see that. Now, wait a minute.

Ah, he's right.

Hey, look at these cute little feelers, huh?

I didn't eat any of it, did I? Franco, you know, your problem is you're totally

wussified. Now, roaches taste great. You are out of your mind. They're a great

source of protein.

Bugs. Robert, I can understand biting into a bug.

breakfast once, but twice in one day. Wait a minute, wait a minute, what do

mean two times? Well, when I was downstairs, I found a bug in this one,

Right here. Let me see that.

Only, that one looked like it was made out of candy.

Uh -oh, lover.

Robin. Looks like you beat the Russians.

Don't you get it?

We're going out on a sweep because you already got busted. No, I can't go right

now. Hey, that's a joke.

Jokey, jokey. Come on, come on. You sure you can pick it up, Robin?

Yes, okay.

I can wait a second. Yeah, because if you get the tux, I can go straight home

and get changed and meet you over at the Cougar.

Yeah, you sure you're up to it? You're feeling okay?

All right.

Okay, I take it back.

I'll see you later.

I love you. Bye -bye.

If Special Narcotics wanted in on Belker's operation, it had three weeks

so.

Cooker, correct.

No, he's cooking for the other two guys. The guys who stepped out on our

informants organization and ordered a manufacture for Suarez.

Correct. Suarez's organization is the ultimate target.

I know. He's the biggest up here. That's why we're after him.

No, Detective Walker is already left for the day.

Thank you.

Is there any way we can help you logistically today?

No, I don't think so. My informant's just doing intros. I mean the wedding.

No, thanks, Captain. We got everything pretty much under control.

Good. I'll see you later. Okay. I want to introduce you to the captain.

Captain, this is Officer Jack Steger.

Jack just transferred up. Jack?

Officer Garfield, you remember? Ronnie? It's good to be working with you again,

sir. Jack and I did time at the Pope.

Back when we both had hair in one stomach apiece.

I thought I'd team Jack up with Officer Garfield, at least for the first couple

of days. Right. Ron can chase them down, and I'll cuff them.

Sounds good.

Welcome. All right.

Well, come on, kid. Let's go chase girls.

Good luck.

Joe, we don't have the time. The sweep can wait for five minutes. Now tell me,

what is it?

Is it the ceramics guy?

Sort of.

Did you sleep with him?

I made a mistake.

You know, I told you the guy was a jerk. I knew he was a jerk. Hey, you take

shots in life. Some of them work and some don't. That's right.

When I was younger, I used to think, you know, someday you are going to have

somebody who loves you and a family.

Yeah, and someday you're going to have all those things. No, I'm not.

This is the way my life is going to be, and I've got to face that. And sometimes

that's hard to do.

Come on, let's go.

You still got me?

Let's go, let's go.

Let's hear it one more time now. What's the main chemical you've got to watch

out for? Ether.

Right, because the ether can blow you up, dig?

Now, what's your next main problem, considering you're a policeman?

What?

The juice, man.

Don't get none of the juice on your hands or up your nose, because if you

high, your cover is gone.

Juice makes the man want to talk. I wear gloves. I don't breathe.

I love the name.

Dust. Angel dust.

Frack. Cloud wall.

Some other names for the Pepperadoc. Pipe. I know all this stuff.

You want to tell me what it's about, huh?

Tell you about what? Dick, if I'm educating you, you're getting a whole

Understand, Jim?

Now, the molecules. Come on. Come on, man. We talked about the molecules.

I know what a molecule is. You get these molecules hooked up, and that makes the

compound. Now, that's where the money is in the compound. That's what breaks the

blood -brain barrier, and up you go, man.

You know, you remind me of my third -grade teacher.

Man, that's what he knows. No.

Drive it, Ted. He's driving.

Cop teaches how to police.

I know pieces of you.

Yo, Chato.

Yeah, Johnson here.

Well, I've been trying 12 times, man.

All right, you get the sample of the product?

Right.

Right.

Yeah, Mick. Mick from Detroit.

Be right over.

I like the batch.

Why wouldn't they like it, man? I cooked it.

Question is, when you cook it, are they going to like it?

Where's the jerk going? Leon's got some warrants out.

Let's get it.

He pointed a gun at me.

It's not him.

I thought it was in his hand.

I thought. Take it easy.

We'll find it.

I know he had a gun. He pointed the gun at me and he was going to shoot it.

Just go back.

Go back and call it in.

I'll find the gun.

Somebody better get over to the alley. There's been a shooting.

Tell my partner. He's over there.

2250.

Officer involved shooting.

Suspect down.

137 Van Buren. In the alley.

Requesting an ambulance.

Hey,

come with me.

60 % of your manpower going to victimless crime. 40 % left to cover the

Robert, the secret of effective police administration is priorities and

has none.

What is so funny?

I was just thinking about LaRue's face when you pulled that.

We had him flat on that.

Here we are. Oh, no. Look at this right here.

Okay, over here, we'll put it down.

Relax, mister. Everything's going to be okay.

The heart. Check the heart. Yeah, your heart is okay. No, the heart in the

chest, man. I just said your heart is perfect. No, the heart in the back.

Sir, I think you're going into shock. Listen.

The heart to transplant.

It's in a red and white cooler.

There's no cooler back here. A red and white cooler?

The guy I was chasing had one.

That's it. They stole the heart.

Call for backups. We're checking the alley.

These dudes are over their heads now. They may show short for the front money.

That's all right. I'll let them own me.

There you wait until he's Dominican, old man.

That one guy, Philo, he's married to Flores' sister. That's the guy coming

the stairs? No, no, that's Chato.

Philo's behind him.

What's happening, guys?

What's your guy, Willie?

I want you to meet my man, Mick, from Detroit.

Second best chemist in America. How are you? What you saying, Mick? How you

feeling? Well, I'm going to feel great when I see 5 ,000 trucks.

Hey, Mick, that sample you made, man, went over great.

That's all we gave it to thinks he was in outer space.

Well, that's 5 ,000 for the chemist, fellas.

Now, here's our scene with that, Nick.

We got to run that down.

They're going to run down their scene for me? Hey, hey, hey, look, don't

embarrass me, huh, fellas?

Now, where's the man's money? Don't be getting down on Willie here. All right,

they said they had their thing together. Go ahead. A square business, Nick.

We put our money all in practice. We spent the money buying the paparidin,

We're just light on our front to you. In other words, you want me to mix up a

batch on credit so you can impress your new connections. Listen.

How about instead of 180, you got $400?

Hey, guys, we're moving the can all the way. You can make, make.

They can move 20 pints a week.

20 times 100, looking at 8 ,000 a week.

What do you think, Willie?

Look, I'm not telling you what to do, man.

And look, people embarrass me. They don't give me a straight story.

We got state -of -the -art equipment in here.

What state -of -the -art? You need a garbage can and ether.

Boys, don't insult my intelligence.

Sorry, sorry.

All right, forget it.

I'm here. I already made the trip.

Solid, man. You ain't gonna regret this.

Come on inside, and you just show us how you want it set up.

When do I meet your friends?

The Americans?

Later. Hey, you're gonna like those cats.

They're serious how you are.

So I hear this guy's going bankrupt, and I figure, what the heck? Place is right

next door to my car lot.

So presto.

Rob's Discount Kingdom.

You're not giving yourself enough credit, Rob. It looks to me like you put

least 30 bucks in the picture.

Neil, what do you think?

One day I think the crown just looks great.

And then the day after, I think it's maybe over the top.

I think the day after, Rob.

What about the fridge, Rob? Remember Belker's refrigerator?

Brother -in -law, would you be adverse to me saving you a few bucks on this

present? Save it how?

Merely by removing the tag of a nationally advertised product, which we

that advertising drives up the prices anyway.

and placing it on this brother fridge from Mexico, thereby making the Chilking

GE. Is that right?

Why would you want to do a thing like that?

Look, I give it to you for a yard and a half less, and we'd both make out.

So, Americans never heard of Chilking. Don't mean it doesn't freeze Hamburg,

right? Must have paid top dollar for them, huh, Rob? Well, I took advantage

the fluctuating Mexican peso.

What kind of a warranty we get? It breaks, you apologize?

Uh -uh.

I ain't laying a clunker on Detective Belker on his wedding day so me and Neil

can pocket a couple of bucks.

Oh, J .D., when you become such a saint, huh? It's not a matter of that.

It so happens my fellow officers elected me, headed a gift committee.

Well, then I guess I just can't give you the fan, can I? Hey, now, that fan was

no kickback. That fan happens to be an incentive finder's bonus. Now, I want

G .E., and I want it delivered to the Kubiak by 4 .30.

Sure, whatever you say, J .D., whatever you say. You know, it's getting harder

and harder every year to tell your sister Peg what a jerk her brother is.

Hey, J .D.

We got to get back to the precinct, babe.

Something about a missing heart.

That's not fatal.

Rob's lived with that for years.

more teams for the heart search as soon as they've locked their hookers. Right,

Captain. Doctor, you're saying there's only a four -hour viability on this

heart? That's correct. We're on a tight clock.

Excuse me.

Ladies and gentlemen, please, would print media please take a back seat for

moment? Radio and television reporters can get the story out much faster. Lady,

I know you feel terrible. I feel bad, too, but that ain't what these phone

are for. Let's get it up again, Captain. Start from the appeal part. Well, we're

appealing to whoever possesses the heart, however he or she came to have

This is a no - Questions asked situation.

Illustrate Bunce. You may not even know you have it. It's ice -packed in a red

and white cooler.

I'd like to repeat the numbers. Okay, we've added trace capability on your 5

5 -8, 5 -9.

5, 5 -4, 5 -5, and 5 -6.

Also,

we think maybe the perpetrator discarded the cooler. You feel terrible too, huh?

Capital punishment, huh?

All right. Just write your congressman. All right, lady?

You're in subway line. Please be alert.

Captain, would you tell people we don't want condolences. We want information.

Okay, there you have it.

What time did I .A .D. get here?

They say at 1130.

Don't you worry about those guys.

I mean, it was a clean shoot.

He turned.

I saw the gun.

I'm just thinking about what I'd be feeling like now, boy.

If you hadn't found that guy's piece... Well, you overlooked it.

You were too busy shaking, right?

Have you used your gun, Jack?

Five times, my friend.

One thing you don't want is doubts.

Doubts will kill you next time.

At the alley facing Van Buren Street between 138 and 139, the suspect turned

confronted me with a weapon.

I felt myself at risk and I fired.

Did your partner see the exchange?

No, he reached the alley about 20 seconds later.

Suspect hadn't fired his weapon?

No, he was just about to.

You concluded that?

Well, he'd pulled his piece and was bringing it to bear. I concluded that he

about to fire.

We'll be taking your partner's statement.

Officer Steger.

We'll be taking Officer Steger's statement and examining SID findings.

You'll work from your desk until notified.

Is there a problem with the chute, sir?

If there is, we'll be asking for a further statement.

I don't see any problem, officer.

Officer, Robin and Nick opened the freezing compartment.

They can't believe it, but there it is in front of them. Probably the money.

Now, what do you think? 400 singles?

Impressive in terms of bulk or...

The simple, understated eloquence of four clean Franksons.

Guys, we can use your man in the phones on this missing heart search.

These people, they call up, they think it's Phil Donahue, you know? What a

terrible shame, what an awful crime. I saw people carrying a cooler, but they

were on a picnic, you know? I could see their freaking hand sandwiches.

Joe, Luce, get your girl 713 and then get out on this search for the heart,

All right.

Joe, do it, Fabian's not...

I'll take care of the girls, Lucy.

This way, ladies.

You even know who I am?

Sure, I remember you.

Your name is Lucy.

Where's Fabian? Is he with you?

Fabian's in North Carolina with his aunt.

Just where I left him.

Where you sent him the Christmas present.

Didn't you send him the Christmas present?

I thought you were going to stay down there, Mrs. DeWitt. I thought things

going better. Vivian's fine now.

He's fine with his aunt. You should be ashamed of yourself.

You get a gift from God and you throw your life in the sewer. It's my life.

what about his life?

What are you doing to your son? You know he loves you.

Shut up! Shut up!

I'd request you refrain from speaking with my client without counsel present.

It's real great.

Everybody's concerned about Vivian DeWitt's rights while she cuts her son

from everything he deserves. Get out of here!

Sergeant.

I'm leaving.

Junkie Hooker makes me sick anyway.

Here, here's a stack -up.

These all can't be legitimate calls, Sarge. I ought to be dead by the time we

have to leave. Hospital call, parts viable in another hour and a half.

Give me a couple of them, Stan.

Anybody else? Anybody else? We got 90 minutes.

Give me a bunch.

Hey, what happened with Fabian's mother?

Let's go. We got this now. Let's go.

Frank,

your office.

What's up?

Interesting find on follow -up at Garfield's shoot.

Oh, man.

I don't know what a human heart looks like exactly.

No, not like a piece of liver, man.

I gotta say, D, money as a gift seems a little cold. Of course it's cold. It's

in a fridge.

Okay. Now who you gonna put out? Okay.

Hey, you know what I'm saying, J .D. What about you? Give me some more

and stuff. What presents?

Thank you, ma 'am.

Presents like you buy.

Fill up the fridge with them. Make them a little more festive. When are we going

to have time to buy presents if we've got 3 ,000 stupid phone calls to answer?

My heart's going to be dead soon.

Speaking of cold.

I mean, even if it's like a basket of food. Or like steaks you made.

Fuck your tickets.

Big flashlights. Small dogs.

Yeah. I took the gun to forensics myself.

The pimp's prints are all over it. Have we checked what Garfield's partner has

to say? Steger.

I think he's following a part lead.

Ron, could you step in here a minute, please?

Rough way to start.

Yes, sir.

I .A .D. talk to you yet?

Yes, they did.

Ron, I understand a gun was found this morning near the body of the man you

shot, and that gun has been print -matched to the deceased.

Yes, sir, that's correct.

You saw him pull how many guns?

How many?

One. It was enough, sir.

Just one.

Well, a little while ago, Lieutenant Goldbloom found another gun at the scene

lying under a dumpster not too far from the body.

And that second gun also has the deceased's prints on it. What?

Two guns were found.

One possibility.

You dropped the gun that Officer Steger recovered because he couldn't find the

pimp's gun and we turned it up later? No way. I never even carry a backup piece.

Ron, this is simply to let you know the facts as uncovered.

You may want to sit down quietly now and write down everything you can remember

from the incident. I've already done that. Then do it again. Go over it.

In part, what the captain is saying is that this was your first shooting. You

might have been scared. Right now would be the best time to be totally

forthcoming about everything. Or he may have withdrawn a second gun, but you

didn't see it.

There may be a number of explanations.

There's an explanation for it, but that's not it. That's not it.

Am I excused, Captain? You may want your PBA representative for your next

internal affairs interview.

What ransom demand? Trace to pay phone 138. When did that come in? An hour and

half ago?

2202 rolling is now 1020, 142, and Van Mier.

They're going as fast as they can.

2202 is gone. You know where we're going to find out when we get there? Another

empty damn phone booth. You know why?

Because they left. Because if it was a legitimate call, they got tired of

waiting around. Well, you've got to try.

It ain't over until it's over. How much time has that heart got left? About 20

minutes?

Is that man making a phone call from there?

Crazy old junkie. Lives over at the deli. Is he still around here? Beats me.

Hey, wait a minute. There, that's him. There he is over there.

Okay.

to in pursuit of suspect with stolen heart northbound on decker and 139 he's

traveling in a blue limit what kind of a person would steal a heart he didn't

know a heart was in a rainbow

Get your gowns and masks on. We may have to operate. What are you talking about?

I'm the one that's going to be doing the operating.

Then you don't get no heart. You see, now that's where you're wrong, smart

Because if that heart don't make it, I'm going to blow your freaking head off

and we're going to use yours. You got that? Get that case out of my car. I got

scalpel in there. This man's crazy.

He can't do that. No? You can count, can't you? Because I'm going to count

backwards from two, okay? Oh, wait one damn minute. Two.

Get ready. When he goes down, we're not going to have much time. I deserve some

money. What?

This ain't fair. This here's illegal.

We got it. We got the heart. Notify Mercy. We're on our way.

Please let that thing be usable. Open it up and check it out.

421 Vivian DeWitt.

Disorderly conduct.

My papers indicate drug addiction.

You want a detox interview, Miss DeWitt?

For the detox program?

Correct.

If I don't go in the program, I gotta stay in jail?

I told you. With these disorderlies, it's $25 for five days. Do you have the

$25? Uh -huh, I do.

Come on, Miss DeWitt. Full calendar. What's your pleasure?

One second, Your Honor.

Vivian, what the judge is offering... is would you want to use the occasion of

your arrest to get into a clean -up situation?

Just release me, okay?

Mr. Wood, we'll pay the fine, Your Honor. All right.

My papers indicate family somewhere, hmm?

Children? Correct, Your Honor.

You'd rather stay high, is that right, Mr. Wood?

All right.

You've never been high.

So you don't understand what I'm doing.

But the truth is, lady, when I'm high, I'm feeling better than you'll ever

And that's all I want.

And that's all I need.

Docket N -639 -414, Winona Williams, disorderly conduct.

Gentlemen, were you involved in recovering Hill Street on one of the

where it wasn't?

We got to talk.

No problem.

They found the gun that Pimp was really carrying.

They found two guns.

You believe that?

So?

What's the beef?

The guy had two pieces.

Wrong, Steger. He drew one weapon.

One. You're starting to annoy me.

I'm getting aggravated.

You just think ahead here.

If you tell them there was only one gun, you didn't see two weapons, they're

going to start looking around for other people who might have dropped that other

gun. See, what I keep coming back to is you sending me away saying that you take

care of everything.

You dropped a piece, didn't you? Hell no, I didn't drop nothing. The hell you

didn't. I told you I saw a gun. We would have found it if we'd have kept

looking, but instead you just dropped one. Even if I had, it wouldn't have

to hurt you? Yeah, great.

What do you think is going to happen to me now? You're stupid.

Tell him you saw two guns. Yeah, I already told him. I didn't.

Now, wait a minute.

It's real simple.

Real simple. Listen.

You go back in there.

You say, uh, I was confused and upset when I made my initial statement.

You want me to change the score and statement? Calm down.

I .E .D. loves this kind of stuff.

Tell him, uh, I remembered something. I wasn't going to say nothing.

It's something I thought I could live with.

Ain't this kid great. He is one straight cop.

I don't know. Don't give me that whiny crap.

You're going to be standing up on this or not? I don't know. I don't know what

I'm going to do. I just don't know.

Hey, Ronnie.

I heard what happened, man. Heard what?

You had to take a guy out.

Sorry.

Didn't you hear the rest of it?

About me getting caught in the switches?

Oh, I took your advice, Neil. I spent the 500 on some great stuff for Robin

me. Where did he see all I got him? They're going to deliver it to the

community. Hey, look here. Hero. In these days of manufactured celebrity and

prefab heroes, it's gratifying occasionally to be able to report on the

article. The three members of the police department standing behind me, officers

Robert Hill and Andrew Ranko and Norman Butts, made possible what is coming to

be known as the six -pack transplant.

Officers, could you tell us a little more in detail?

How you actually recovered the heart?

We were only doing our job.

Officer Hill, I recognize you from our minicam report at Mercy Hospital. It was

you who actually delivered the heart. How did that feel?

Well, I was just hoping to get it there in time.

Lieutenant Butts, what did you actually say to Nolan Trevitt, the man who found

the heart and held it hostage, to get him to actually release the organ?

Nothing. I threatened him a little.

You gave him a little encouragement then?

Yeah. I told him I'd cut out his heart if he didn't give over to one of his

holders. Seriously?

Seriously, yeah.

I see.

Well, back to you, Dave and Trish.

What do you think I did?

Kissed him?

What's up?

Something I thought I could live with, but I can't.

What's going on, Captain?

Officer Steger alleges that you confessed to having planted a weapon at

shoot this morning.

You're lying. Come on, kid.

I'm as sorry about this as you are.

You deny Officer Steger's allegations?

You're damn right.

Look, I didn't plan a piece.

From a conversation we had this morning, I'd say it was Steger.

Sure. You have a right to counsel, Officer Garfield.

Anything you say from this point on can be used in evidence in departmental or

legal proceedings.

Are you saying you believe that?

Captain, 20 minutes ago, this fat old hump was telling me to say the perp had

two guns.

I gotta listen to any more of this.

Officer Garfield, keep to your desk.

All I want to say is what I did, this shoot.

Look, I didn't drop anything.

It was a totally righteous shoot.

So this gentleman I was telling you about, Mr. Suarez, the willy to cook,

so highly of.

Mr. Suarez.

Mick, how do you do?

Why, you don't come over from Jimmy Ip in a package. Bring Willie, too.

Willie ain't available, Senor Suarez. Believe me, we asked. I cook good as

willing. That's what Willie said, Mr. Suarez.

Mick cooks good as he does. You can imagine how excited we got.

Where you from? He's from Detroit.

Detroit.

Mick makes quality, and he makes weight.

Ready to go?

Ready to make some big money? That's what I'm here for.

He's ready, Senor Suarez.

Bueno, 20 pintas, 20 horas.

So, you start right now, Mick. You're going to make 20 pints. And now,

senor, we are going to be your new boys in 20 hours. You're going to have new

suppliers.

What's the matter?

Nothing. Everything's fine.

Okay.

Bueno, adios.

We'll be in contact with you, senor Suarez.

We're going to do a great job.

We got a problem here, fellas.

We're going to have to stall him tomorrow.

What you talking about? I got to see someone. I can't cook tonight.

Look, very easy.

I'll start first thing in the morning. You call Suarez. You tell him that the

first batch we mixed was a little light on pipe. We'll deliver four hours later.

What's the problem?

Are you crazy?

This is a big audition, Mick.

A big chance, man.

Man wants it in 20 horas. That is when he's going to get it. I'm telling you I

got to be someplace.

And we're telling you this is the place you're going to be tonight.

It's a chica, right?

You got a date.

Right.

I'm afraid you're going to have to keep your pants on tonight, Mick.

Due respects to the head of the gift committee, J .D., I think if you put

tennis shoes where the corned beef is, it might make a better appearance.

Hey, you don't mess with them, Bobby. I've been through hell with this today.

All right, pal.

Only minutes ago, at a hospital news conference, Dr. Jason Rosenberg

completion of what's come to be known as the hostage transplant. I love all

these catchy names.

Dr. Rosenberg stated that the next obstacle for transplant patient Richard

Kavakian was the possibility that his body may reject the transplanted organ

foreign tissue.

I hope the man makes it.

Well, if everything that heart's been through today, it could make it through

nuclear holocaust.

Hey,

it's only 20 minutes, right?

Actually, by my watch, he's only 18 minutes late.

I know it's impossible, Robin, but try to relax. He's probably held up in

traffic. Oh, this time of night, he has to come across Van Buren. He's jammed,

probably. I keep thinking his tux might have strangled him.

The best man made it through the gridlock.

Well, that puts you one up on the groom's side.

It's important to tell you.

Hi,

honey.

Listen, something came up. I gotta break our date tonight. Mick, tell me if

you're all right.

I'm fine.

You know how much I wanted to be with you tonight, but things started cooking

here sooner than I thought.

Right, I get it.

You okay?

I'm fine.

I was just worried about you. I'm fine.

Robin, I'm sorry.

It's okay, as long as you're okay.

I love you.

He's okay, but he can't make it.

Robin asked me to say, well, most importantly, Mick is fine.

But his undercover went red before any of us expected it, so we're going to

to postpone the ceremony.

I'm sorry, everybody.

No, I'm okay. I'm fine.

She took it okay, am I right?

Right, because I know broads. You tell them it's work, it's going to be money

coming in, you're going to buy them something with that money.

They'll love it if you've got something important to do.

What?

What you doing, Micah?

How'd you do that, man?

J .D., you said this refrigerator would be here an hour.

Oh, well, of course, we couldn't count on Belker having the bad taste to be

over by some crooks. I'm just saying, where am I going to keep this thing?

You keep it right here until we find out what's going on. And you keep it

plugged in so that the perishable presence I got inside don't rot.

J .D.

You really surprised me today, man. How's that?

Well, I kept looking for you to jam yourself up.

You never did.

I guess that's right.

I didn't blow the dough. I didn't screw around with Rob, and I got a bunch of

nice presents.

What's left?

Nothing.

Stealing it.

Stealing it? Neil, that's it. All day I've been asking, what's my angle?

this going?

I was meant to steal this refrigerator. No, no.

Why not?

It's too late, man.

You did a good thing today.

Now you just got to learn to live with it.

It's Shirley.

Hey, Detective.

Hey, Ronnie.

How you holding up, man?

Lousy. I mean, I can't believe what the guy did to me.

Just stay cool, Barry.

Don't make no mistakes.

Seems like the mistake I made was who I had for a partner.

Look at him.

Lying piece of garbage.

Hey, take it easy, Ronnie. Don't be stupid.

Hey, Stan.

Jack, maybe we ought to head someplace else. No, no, no, no. Let myself get run

off by that punk.

Bad enough he plants a piece.

Disgrace is the badge I wear. He's not going to ruin my time off. Here, beer.

Hey, hey, cool it, man. Hey, hey.

Hey, come on. Shut it. Shut it down.

You're trying to ruin my life. You did it to yourself.

Come on. Come on. Come on, let's go.

Thank you.

Yeah.

You sure you don't need company?

No, I'm okay.

Okay. Call me if you want someone to talk.

Night. Night.

What, I gotta have a special reason to call you up?

I just wanted to hear your sexy voice.

I think about you all the time, babe.

Yeah, how's it going down there? I mean, I miss you.

Yeah.

How's your mom?

Oh.

Is that right? That's great.

Cleaning doing good, huh?

I gotta run, babe.

Yeah.

I miss you.

Yeah, I love you.

Bye -bye, hon.
