Original subtitles

No, it's a bad connection. I'm having trouble hearing you.

What?

Only what I read in the papers.

Jesus, I think you should come into my office.

No, look, calm down.

I'll be there.

I'll meet you at 745.

Did I hear the phone?

Ah, nervous client. It was for me.

You want some coffee?

Okay, item seven.

Mick Belker is undercover at Michigan at 143. Our information is that a loan

shark is operating a six -for -five operation out of a lunch wagon down

He's feeding off the area factory workers and the construction workers.

Now, Mick's going to be running a competition roach coach.

That's an area patrol's alert.

Eight, assignments.

Wardlow rides with Ziff.

Thierry with Carson. Also, everybody say hello to Officer Catherine McBride.

She's a transfer from the Polk. Officer McBride is going to be riding with

Sergeant Bates. Item nine, wants and warrants. Now, there's three new

on the upstairs board, people.

Let's everybody keep our 316 files current.

Also, wants continue on Jesus Martinez.

Hispanic, late 20s, in connection with a courthouse investigation of judge

fixing in the 17th District. He's wanted for questioning in the possible

homicide of attorney Harold Brown.

All right, ten, four.

Watch line, Sarge. No, no, no watch line, Bobby. No, they're re -rigging us.

for a new intercom system.

Now, people, these intercoms are to save time for official communications.

They're not for asking a khaki to bring you a new pencil.

No, and they're not for squadron gossip. Hey, Andy, you won't believe what Neil

said last night. Buzz me when we get upstairs.

All right, settle down.

Listen, people, if you ask the opinion of the podium, this temperature upflux

that we got ain't the genuine article.

No, my guess is we're at least three weeks from spring. Now, that's a word to

the wise Ray Premature Garment Removal. This is when you could catch a doozy.

Did you ever want to be a doctor, son? Hey, hey, no, listen. Sometimes I think

nice string of garlic around the neck, and you don't... No, you don't push this

season. Have the medics. It'd be out of business if we all did that.

Okay? That's it.

Let's have a safe shift. They're getting away out there. Come on.

So would you go by Catherine?

Catherine Kate.

Figured it wouldn't be Cathy.

I've just visited the psychotherapeutic future, Henry, and it works. It's called

lithium. Are you talking about Valentine, Howard? Oh, all of that

gobbledygook, Henry. You know, those head shrinkers, they just simply

a chemical imbalance in that poor fellow's brain, and now he's tearful,

and filling his hospital room with all kinds of martial science books.

Gotta be a good scientist.

What do we got, Stan?

Just keep it out of the flow, Bobby.

The judge has ripped off a government surplus warehouse.

The night shift guys are inventorying it upstairs.

Need a hand? No, I think we got it. Be careful with that raft, Bobby.

You going to take us to religious files, Rico?

Why don't you talk?

Without warning, my wife burned my entire castle off. A thousand degrees.

You guys, you better watch out for that lanyard. What lanyard? Right there.

What's the matter?

What happened?

I bit the pig when I bit my tongue.

I bit the pig when I bit my tongue.

People's Drive.

All right, coffee and a bear claw, that's a buck ten.

Thank you very much. What are you going to have?

Big poached eggs.

What? Fried or scrambled.

Okay, scrambled and bacon.

Coffee? Yeah.

One seventy -five. Listen, I want you fellas to know, we got everything on our

menu they got over there, and that includes our get -me -through -till

service. Going to be making loans?

A buck a week on every twenty you borrow.

That's a lot better than Healy's rates.

Well, I was going to try this guy.

I'll have to wait until lunch.

There goes Tommy the rat. Who's he rat for? Your competition.

Hey, I got nothing to hide.

See me at lunch, fellas, if you want a borrowed dough. You need a driver's

license and a payslip.

No offense, buddy. You may not be around.

What happened to your thumb?

Late payment charge.

Yeah, yeah.

See you fellas at lunch.

We get clear sledding, we got you intercom capable by 3 p .m., Sarge.

That means no more life rafts. Well, don't let me hold you up.

Morning, Frank.

Harry? Autopsy report on Harold Brown. Heart attack.

What'd they make of the bruises? They couldn't rule out a struggle, but they

figured it was more likely to fail. I guess Hazers could have pushed him. Any

word on Hazers?

Bench warrant is here this morning.

Morning, Norm.

How you doing?

Hey, Lee.

What do you want, Tommy?

I got a problem.

That department's closed.

Hey, I'm gonna talk to you. I got no choice.

Not here.

Lee, I know you're not in my fan club anymore, but I'm jammed up.

You're the only one I ever saw him say two words to. Who's that?

D 'Liberto.

I got on his wrong side five months ago. This idiot still got it on the brain.

Yeah, well, you're a different kind of cop than he is, Tommy. Yeah, tell me

about it.

Would you make him look bad?

We partnered on a pop. They said maybe some dope was missing.

But everyone passed on it.

Internal Affairs, the DA.

It's history with everyone but this lunatic.

So, uh, can he hurt you? Nightwing made the pop.

I thought he could have seen something. He figured it was me doing something

wrong.

Then he didn't say nothing.

I figured he didn't see it.

Now I'm thinking he's some kind of warp case. He wants to pull on my wings a

little before he rats me out.

Hey, the thing is, I've been thinking a lot since you and me talked.

I've been trying to clean up my act.

If he could just talk to the guy, find out where he's going with this.

Yeah, all right.

I just hate to get ratted out on something I did before.

Hey, Tommy, I'll talk to him, okay?

I'll let you know what he said.

How you doing?

I'm okay.

I'll call you later on.

Appreciate it, Queen. Yeah.

Hey, it's working great.

Are you going to the captain's office, too? Phone installation.

Intercom installation, Captain. Just pretend like I'm not here.

Fast as possible, please.

Oui. Oui.

That call I got this morning was from Jesus Martinez, Frank. I just went to

him. He's a fugitive, Warren.

At least temporarily, I'm acting as his counsel.

Frank is like a terrified animal.

He feels like he got railroaded on a bribery charge. Now he's wanted in

death. That's all I have to question.

He wants you to meet him outside.

He says he can explain everything.

I'm afraid something terrible is going to happen. He's waiting for it to.

We both know Jesus has been trying awfully hard to make something out of

himself.

I can't do my job ad hominem. If I meet him outside, I'll have to bust him.

Tell him to come on in.

I don't think his situation is as bleak as he thinks it is.

When Jesus was a street punk, everybody gave him the extra mile.

Now he's playing it by our rules, and nobody gives an inch.

Because Jesus is hiding in a laundry nail. Doesn't his cousin run a laundry

off Van Meer? So? So, let's go for a ride.

Whoa, whoa, Lover. Is this legal?

We're citizens.

We do laundry.

Officer Howard Hunter?

Yes? Ah,

I'm Jagawala, the bupati of Bema Besar.

You have a nicer uniform than your fit.

Well, thank you very much. Uh, but...

I'm a little at sea here, Mr... Jagawala, just call me Jaga, Jega, as

friends do. And I ask you to understand, I have lived so long in emptiness, and

this letter came in answer to so many of my own.

Prunella, who makes my heart boom -pa -dee -boom.

Ah, you're a friend of Prunella's.

More than a friend, my friend.

I'm her spouse.

Spouse? Tronella's your wife? Wife, yes, yes.

And I'm very much attracted to her. Have you ever watched her eat?

Wonderful.

I think of her and I'm the lusty one.

Well, if what you say is true.

It's very true.

Well, and if that is the case, then you and Miss Ashton Wilkes, or rather Mrs.

Jagawala. Jagawala will have a great deal to discuss.

She speaks of you as her new good friend, and she does not provide her

You will arrange that I see her, yes?

Well, I would have to verify your account. I am very grateful to you,

Lieutenant.

Gavin Ford.

Man.

She must have come back to talk to Jesus.

Hey, J .D., I don't like this, man. It's going to look like we followed her. But

we didn't. No, we're just listening to a conversation.

Accidentally.

Hey, he's leaving.

All right, you go on in. Flush him out the back.

Morning. I left some laundry for Fluffin' 4 with you about a week ago.

Can't find my ticket.

What color was the bag?

Purple. Name's Washington.

Here, I can help you. No, I've got to look for you.

Hey, I think I see you. Hey, you can't go back!

You stupid!

On the ground. On the ground! Do it! Come on!

Hold still, my man.

Hey, man. Hey, what are you doing?

What are you going to do with that thing? You're not going to destroy it.

is it? Your favorite salsa group? Ain't nobody's going to destroy any evidence.

Come on, I'm begging you, bro. It's my only shot. Hey, look. It's in my pocket,

okay?

You leave anything in the dryers? Come on.

Hey, take it easy.

Hey, Mr.

Bongo, one hand on the wheel at all times.

What, are we late for something?

My kid's got a dentist appointment in a half hour. I reminded him before I left,

but he's a real airhead about appointments.

How old?

Thirteen. He the only one you got?

Yeah. You and your old man still together?

No.

Whatever. It's a long story. Whatever.

Hey.

Guns on you will never... Night job. What?

Way to go.

How are you?

Lionel Stiles, Lieutenant.

Thought it was about time we shook hands, huh?

Stiles Real Estate.

Yeah, Stiles Real Estate, Step Up Development, Excelsior Holdings. I'm all

them.

So you put that flyer under my door.

About the block meeting for tennis this afternoon.

One of my managers put it there, I guess. Yeah, that's right.

I'm afraid I can't make that.

Well, gee, I was kind of hoping we could go together, sort of present a united

front. Why don't you tell me what's on your mind, Mr. Stoddard?

Have you spoken to anybody from Armitage Development yet?

No. Well, I think you and I are sitting on a pretty sweet thing, especially if

we move and sink.

You mean they're interested in that area?

Yeah. That area is ready to be yuppified.

Yep, it's fine.

Look here, see, parcel by parcel, each one of those lots is going to go for

,000, $150 ,000 apiece.

But if we negotiate collectively, I think that we can do a lot better.

What about the tenants?

Yeah, well, that's what that tenant meet is going to be about today.

See, when they find someplace else to live, well, you know, I think that area

going to be some high, high rent.

Well, that might not be easy.

Oh, easy. I don't see where that's our problem.

Look, I didn't buy that building to turn a profit. I'm concerned about the

neighborhood. Whoa, whoa, whoa. You tell him you're not collecting rent. I'm

collecting rents.

I'm trying to improve the place, and I'm planning on putting my tenants out to

put yuppies in.

When did you say this meeting was?

One o 'clock.

I get your dandruff with that?

I'm going to be there.

Good. I look forward to it.

It was a nice meeting you and Sam.

Book it. I'll tell the captain.

Yo! Miss Devonport!

Did you get your Judas fee?

What happened, Jesus? How did they find you? Listen, don't let him destroy the

tape, all right? At least give me that! Don't say a word.

Just pretend like I ain't here.

You and Neil got lucky, Captain. We found Jesus outside the laundry.

Check this cassette out, eh?

A 30 rounds confession.

Did you send him after me? You know better than that.

So you destroyed the state attorney client privilege law all on your own. I

don't know what you're talking about. You don't tell lawyers to find their

clients. It's been the law for ten years, gentlemen.

Hey, we just happened to run across the guy. Detective, it's taking all my self

-control to keep from slapping you, but that would bring me down to your level.

Jesus told me your thugs confiscated that tape. It could contain his

to the Lindbergh kidnapping for all the good it's going to do.

If you followed her, you're up for a board of rights.

We didn't, Captain.

When you and Miss Damopour were listening in the intercom before,

came across the squadron.

We couldn't help but hear her.

As she said something about a laundry, I remembered that Jesus' cousin runs one

down off of Vanmere.

Square business, Captain.

Want to listen to the tape?

Martinez seems to think it's going to exonerate him. I'll get to it, okay, J

.D.? You see if you can get A .D .A. Bernstein up here, and I want full 770s

the entire incident.

Yes, sir.

How can they hear a private conversation?

Open circuitry. It'll be like that till we get you online.

When?

Well, if we keep clear sledding, uh, 4 p .m., the latest.

Just pretend like I'm not here.

Well, two cavities isn't so bad considering the way you brush.

I brush them good.

He gives it the neighborhood job. You know, the brush is in the neighborhood.

Well, Dennis told me to have you call him since you haven't been in in over a

year. Yeah, but when you pass a certain age, you know, it's not as important.

Well, I got to get back to school.

It was nice meeting you, Officer McBride. Good to meet you, Fabian.

So you guys going to be partners?

For now.

See you later, Bibbs. See you.

Hey, Fabian, don't forget to make an appointment to have your cavities

made it for next Saturday.

For both of us.

He's a real charmer, for sure.

Ah, he's a good kid.

He liked you, too.

Was he close with your partner?

Oh, sure.

So we didn't talk about you yet. You married?

No.

Ever been?

Uh -uh.

Ready?

Yeah.

Say you didn't realize what was happening.

You're getting that tone again, Howdy.

Please just answer my question.

It was all so ritualistic, you know?

The chanting, the incense, the drums.

I only began to suspect what was happening when they smeared me with

grease and ochre. I mean, the promotional brochure had mentioned

that in describing their quaint... matrimonial rituals.

The man has a legitimate claim.

Only by his own light. He'll never be recognized in our court.

Howdy.

You don't for a moment think that I'm interested in him.

I really don't know what to think.

Listen to me.

No one has ever made my cannons roar like you.

I'm reassured.

But I do think you have to see this poor fellow and tell him... Tell him where

he stands, face to face. Can you arrange the meeting?

Yes, he's calling me this afternoon. You can talk to him tonight and unburden

him of this illusion.

I'm far more interested in the possibilities of this afternoon.

I'll get the chair.

What are you doing, Norm? Look at you, Vince. You fell apart, huh?

I'm just teasing.

You always look the same.

So, why did you come down to Crescent to see some of the other guys?

It's a personal conversation about Tommy Donahue.

Yeah. I understand there was a problem with some evidence and a pop you guys

made. They're stolen.

Evidently, you've got ideas it was Tommy.

Look, I'm not going to nominate him for cop of the year, Vin.

I'm not even going to tell you that. I don't think that Tommy would put the arm

on something like that. What are you going to tell me, Norm?

Well, the kid seems like he's trying to pull himself together.

And if it's something more or less under the bridge, he says the case is closed.

He's two years younger than us.

I'm sorry?

I thought he was not a kid.

Right? The file is closed, but there's two entries in our jackets.

That doesn't matter to him, but it matters to me.

Yeah, I'm just wondering if you give him the benefit of the doubt. What doubt,

Norm?

I know what that little piece of garbage did, and I'm gonna nail him for it.

You tell him that, Norm.

You tell him that my file ain't closed. Thank you.

See ya.

Yeah.

Changed his mind.

What are you doing here?

Do you recognize this?

I'm working now.

I'm on my way to Dr.

Scully's. And you didn't sign this insurance form like I asked you to do 10

times. Give me the form.

Mick, I know you're on an operation, but I'm due in three weeks. Dr. Scully said

if we don't get this insurance form in, I won't be able to get into the

hospital. Do you have a pen?

Yes, I do.

Oh my God, Mick, you're on fire.

Why would I go and do something like that? You get me to split, which I am

going to do.

Slow learner, huh, Sam?

No. You're the slow learner, pal.

I don't scare.

I'm going over there and clean up my truck.

And while my food service is closed, I'm still going to be making loans.

Don't grow too attached to your thumbs, my friend.

I've been attached to my thumbs my whole life.

Look at what my thumbs could do.

Got to move.

Looks like that's what's coming, yeah?

Well, I ain't moving. I'm going to stay right where I am.

I'm Henry Goldblum. I own the building on the corner of Decker and 133rd. And

although I haven't heard Mr. Stiles' plans for his sentence, I want everyone

here to know I don't think you have to move.

Excuse me. If Officer Goldblum has no objection, I would like to present my

first. Then he can give whatever arguments he wants to to the contrary.

Fair enough.

I'm going to deal some cards and let you decide how to play.

Now, for real, people, if a bunch of rich white men want to come in here and

tear this neighborhood down, who out there thinks they can stop them?

Who? Let me see some hands.

Come on, let me see some hands. Who?

Somebody? Oh, you can stop them, brother?

How? What you going to do?

I'll lawyer.

Rich man's got ten lawyers.

I heard that.

I know you did.

So what then?

Shoot them?

White man has got all the cops.

Fact is, there ain't nothing you can do to stop them if they really want to come

in here and do it. You understand?

But you could be smart and make them pay.

You got tenants' rights, huh?

You got leases, huh?

Well, then you make them pay to get you out.

You see this ring?

You see that?

You see this gold watch here?

Check this suit out.

car that's parked out front, that's a new Cadillac.

See, I was born in this neighborhood with nothing, but I learned how to make

man pay.

You got to learn it to earn it.

Now, suppose the man is going to give you a month's free, no, two

months free rent. Does that sound good?

You like that, huh?

Yeah, but you're too easy.

I'm talking about giving you Six months free rent.

Yeah, six months before you agree to move out.

And during that time, you take that money and you put it in your pocket.

And you go out and you buy.

And you enjoy.

Yeah. I may even give you seven months because I'm on a roll and they're going

to have to pay the toll.

Now, Officer Goldbloom here, he has been living up here almost four months now.

He thinks he knows what's going on.

But if you want to do it my way, I got something for you to sign at the door.

I believe our neighborhood has a potential all its own. And if we can

together, instead of seeing it destroyed, we can improve.

Improve what we have and make it something that we can all be proud of.

Would you listen to me, Jesus?

No, I'm through listening.

Look, I know I got you into this mess.

You had me delivering all those damn envelopes to the judge. And I'm going to

get you out of here, but you've got to let me do it my way.

Gap.

Erase.

Splice. You can't turn it around. I've got to go, man.

Just as long as you know I'm missing.

Okay. Re -entry. Re -edit.

Okay, so we'll talk tomorrow.

I'm taking off.

Yo, man, I almost tripped on your carpet.

Fake sound effects. Hey, you think Jesus might have handled that 18 -minute job

for Watergate? It certainly didn't exculpate him for much.

If anything, it adds tampering with evidence, but is it admissible?

We have been getting some better decisions on proceeds of questionable

There you go.

Here, you would have to make the case that they overheard the intercom

conversation accidentally and they didn't follow it. Both of which is true.

Shut up, J .D. I think I'd have a tough time selling the point that they showed

up at the laundromat at the same time that George left.

If we're pretty sure that Jesus didn't cause Brown's death.

The autopsy was inconclusive, but that's how they've been leaning. Then if he

can help us with Judge Hardin, I'd say make a deal.

Excuse me. Hey, Captain, if you'll just push button number three there, you can

put your precinct on line.

I know what that is. That's a fuse. Two minutes. Great.

Great.

Will you sit in while we make the proposal to Jesus?

Sure.

These guys just pull a lot of juice.

Yeah. Sometimes they just need a bigger fuse, that's all. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

hurry up. I'm getting it, I'm getting it.

Listen, answer me a question, man. What?

Which one of these broads is the big sergeant I hear so much about? The one

who's in love with my Sally. A, we don't have no broads working here.

And B, if we did, they wouldn't be in love with no woman.

No, no, Sal, my brother. Sal Bonacci?

Sal the plumber?

That guy's your brother?

Yeah.

I says to him, I got a gig up at the Hill Street Precinct. He says, look up

big sergeant. The chick loves to party.

Your brother must be messed up in his thinking since he got conked on the

noggin. Here, hold this yourself.

Return it to the desk upstairs.

Yeah.

You would be immune in the entire matter involving possible judge fixing and

bribery. In return, you would give us testimonial and evidentiary cooperation.

You people are still insulting me. I said I knew nothing about bribes. I made

delivery. You don't have to admit anything, Jesus.

All we need is to have you go to Judge Harden and pretend that you knew.

What about the murder charges?

There weren't any murder charges. You were called in for questioning.

The autopsy report indicates Attorney Brown died of a heart attack. What about

possible evidence tampering?

Mewing there, too.

I'd like to have heard your argument against Tana Confiscation, Erwin.

Uh, no, thank you. I say no deal.

Now, we're all gonna leave now, huh?

We're all gonna go have a nice laugh.

Nobody's laughing, Jesus.

I want a guarantee that I can practice law.

You want us to fix the bar exam?

No.

I want a guarantee that I ain't screwed up with the ethics and credential panel.

Jesus. Jesus, nothing!

Otherwise you can forget the wire and keep your stinking judges on the take.

I think he's got a fair concern there. We'll make a full presentation of the

facts.

I don't think you'll have a problem with the ethics panel.

Don't worry about that. That's been agreed to.

I didn't touch Attorney Brown.

I went there with the tape to get him to incriminate himself.

We're standing there screaming at each other and he fell over.

But I knew that you people wouldn't believe that.

Jesus, the tape is not an issue.

It is to me.

It is to me.

I know what you're saying.

Poor dumb Martinez tried to chase the tape around.

the choice that I have, Frankie.

You put me in jail. You bust me at my job.

You don't believe me from word one.

All right.

Point taken.

What do you want me to say?

I talked to him.

Is he gonna back off?

No. You crazy creep.

Tommy, you gotta understand, a guy like this, his reputation means everything to

him. But they didn't get us for anything.

They questioned disposition of the evidence. For Vince, that's like being

convicted.

Okay. I get it.

Now listen to me.

For whatever reason, the night that this happened, Vince didn't turn you in.

Now he says anything about seeing what you did back then. It's as much trouble

for him as it is for you. You understand?

That's why he's trying to make a separate case here. That guy's running

around.

Thanks for finding out for me.

Tommy, you hear what I'm saying?

I think you're going to be okay here.

You just got to do your job and keep your nose clean.

That's right. That's how I got to do it.

Hey, look, I got to get back there.

Take care of yourself.

You too.

All right, there's your driver's license, there's your pay stub, and here

two new Andrew Jacksons, and I'm going to see you on Friday, right? And you,

the hell out of here.

Let's talk.

Go on.

Come on.

Forget about that thumb stuff.

All right.

My Irish temper.

I'm listening.

What I'm worried about here, we're going to saturate the market. That's no good

for nobody.

I've got no particular love for this neighborhood.

Be my guest.

All I want is a piece of your big.

You want a piece of the interest I collect.

How about it?

No chance.

Come on, I want to show you something.

We tried to make it

easy for you, Shorty.

You're going to try and hurt me now.

Looks that way.

You too?

Oh, come on, say it.

Yes.

Thank you. I just wanted to get that on tape.

I'm a cop, Tomei and Bress.

You jerks are busted.

I don't have to hear this, young man. Well, you better hear it, bro.

Because I'm getting sick of waiting around.

I'm coming in and I'm naming you. And I'm going to name every hooker who paid

you. And I'm going to put in the nails on them Maricone Truesdale.

You're ridiculous.

I ain't ridiculous.

I'm just tired of waiting around for you to do the right thing, bro.

What do you want? I need a vacation.

I'm going to give you a check for $3 ,000.

That's just one, you understand me? Not $3 ,000 this year, $5 ,000 next. Well,

you know I got a lot to keep quiet about, Your Honor.

With your own bailiff getting busted for bribe -taking, it must be pretty hot

around here.

Hey, Truesdale's taken care of.

We all sit tight for a month, this whole thing blows away. That ought to do it.

Well, then you better make it 5 ,000.

You know, the rent in San Juan is getting higher.

Hey, who's... You're under arrest, Judge.

Oh, come on, Judge. That's just weird, man.

The charges.

Bribery.

Lieutenant Howard.

Jaeger. Where is Prunella?

Not here.

She wants your reunion meeting to be this evening. I'll make my apartment

available.

Prunella said so in her letters. You're a generous man.

Prunella has told me she also explained in her letter that she didn't consider

herself married to you.

And about her friendship with me. Yes, women change like the moon.

I will pay you the fool -mace -maker's fee for bringing us back together,

Horwood, and many gifts.

Do you like monkeys?

I don't need anything.

I don't think you should get your hopes up. My friend, my stars are all

aligned. I will go to her like a lion to war.

Oh, you have restored my happiness.

I think she wants to. Why?

Miss Dolan.

I didn't think you'd remember.

Well, you were a very memorable khaki officer, Miss Dolan.

Well, I just wanted to let you know that I just passed my civil service and I'm

legitimate now.

Hey, that's very good.

Better late than never, huh? Yeah, well, you show real stick -to -itiveness,

Miss Dolan. You ought to be real proud of yourself.

Hey, who's there?

Lieutenant Bunce.

Maureen just passed her khaki certification, Lieutenant.

No kidding? Yeah.

Would you have a minute for me, Lieutenant Bunce?

For you, Miss Dolan?

Sure, any time.

So, uh, second time's lucky.

I graduated fourth in my class.

Fourth? Wow.

Uh, what can I do for you?

Would you have dinner with me some night?

Not for anything, Mrs. Dolan. Oh, please.

Call me Maureen.

Yeah, well, if I'm not mistaken, Maureen, the last time you and me

had the impression that you thought I was a scumbag.

Well, I know that you thought that.

I mean, I know that's the impression I gave, but I didn't mean it.

I mean, I did mean it, but... Look.

Are you busy tonight?

Judge Garvey, all right.

Resisting arrest for everything.

Those charges are complete frippery.

Never in my 17 years as a jurist have I seen such a scandalous example of police

misconduct. Hey, you want to shut up a minute, Judge?

That was a good shift.

Yeah, to tell you the truth, I was surprised they put us together.

I'm going to do a couple tours with all the new assignees.

Bill, two female officers. They ever do that permanent?

Not up here.

Need a ride home or anything?

Ladies!

Can I help you?

No, no, no. Taking care of one member of this family is plenty.

I'm Vito Bonacci, Sal's big brother.

Vito Bonacci.

Catherine McBride. How are you?

He said you was a pistol.

He did.

Is she good or what?

I mean, she's in love with him, but nobody's supposed to know it. Wait a

Sal the plumber. Right. Is she good or what?

Listen, you guys want to double with me and my brother or what?

Vito. Right, Vito.

Vito, when I go out with Sal, she would love to go out with you.

All right for the Venacci brothers.

Should have marked your calendar book for 2046, maybe.

Appreciate you seeing me, Lieutenant.

You've really succeeded in making me and my tenants enemies, Mr. Stiles.

I'm sorry to hear that.

They all want me to cash their leases out like you're doing with your tenants.

Well, I think I might have a way of solving your problem.

I didn't have a problem until this afternoon.

Well, I've got a proposition for you.

How about I buy you out?

You pay $62 ,800 at that auction?

$150 ,000 would be more than double your money.

Those people are going to blow that seven months' rent you give them.

going to spend it all and they're not going to have any place to stay.

Oh, come on now. What are you, the master of the plantation, Lieutenant?

Worried about how the dockers will spin their wages. Don't twist my words. I

thought we were talking about you.

$130 ,000 cash?

It's the only way Lionel Stiles does business.

Hey,

look at this. Old habits die hard.

Hey, Tommy.

How you doing, Mayor? Hi, Greeter.

This is Maureen Dolan, Tom Donahue, Mary Franklin.

How you doing?

What's he, trying to impress you?

Tommy and I used to close this place up pretty regularly.

Is that right?

Detective Donahue.

Hello, sir. Yeah.

Right there.

Well, we're going to get a bite to eat here. It's good seeing you, Mayor. You

too. Take care of him.

Yeah, as much as it let me.

Hey, what's up?

Me and him used to partner.

This is a nice place.

For a dump.

So? So, come on, Dawn, how come the sudden change of temperature?

Something like that.

I've had you on my mind ever since I quit.

I was halfway through my certification course when I realized it.

I just keep imagining being back at work, having my job back, and I was

talking to you.

You weren't hollering at me?

No. You stepped on my onions pretty good last time we talked.

I wasn't hollering when I was thinking about it.

A couple times, we weren't talking at all.

See you, Gweed.

Uh, what's up?

Want to start with some drinks?

heart overflows with gratitude, Howard, that you would grant me 20 minutes with

Prunella. Not at all, Jaeger.

There is a clock on the mantel. Oh, I will certainly observe it carefully.

I see that you're well aware of Prunella's love of hats.

This? Oh, no, no, my friend. This is the wedding helmet of the Bima Besar,

symbolizing that in marriage there are two bodies, but only one mind.

Very colorful.

Be sure and push that buzzer hard. It sometimes sticks.

My love will have the strength of ten.

And I hope she has an active pelvis.

Tell the truth, Ferillo.

You really don't think your people tailed me to find Jesus?

I wouldn't think J .D. had that kind of initiative.

You tell the truth.

Do you think all those months Jesus didn't know what was in those envelopes

was delivering for lawyer Brown?

What do you think was in Jesus' mind the day Brown first offered him a job as a

paralegal?

Imagine how lucky he must have felt. Especially considering he falsified his

transcript in order to get into law school.

A kid you would have laid odds would be dead in the street by the time he was

20. A man gives him a chance at a real career.

If I were Jesus, I would have made it my business not to know what was in those

envelopes.

I would have thought Harold Brown a saint.

And I would be lighting a candle tonight for the cops who couldn't carry out a

legal search.

All part of the service.

That's two extra minutes, my Melanesian friend.

Time you faced up to reality.

Who got it?

Detective DiLiberto.

Somebody gut shot him.

No assistance call?

He didn't call for anything.

We just found him here.

Maybe he knew the guy.

Take you home. Where do you live?

Delaware and Amherst. What happened?

Guy got killed.

Did you know him?

I know who got him, too.
