Original subtitles

Night shift reports another drive -by shooting. 3 a .m. this time on Gypsy Boy

turf. No casualties. But the captain says that you can expect reprisal. It's

going to be this bad and worse until they sign some of the treaty.

Also, same item, we got a gang summit right here. Roll call, 900 hours this

morning. Purpose is to lower temperatures and I guess to let them air

their gripes.

Now, some of those gripes are going to be aimed right at this Marcus Peabody.

That's the guy that Mayor Cleveland appointed the head.

of the Youth Corps Summer Jobs Program.

Most of us can remember the Honorable Mr.

Peabody as a member of the blood.

The guy puts on a suit all of a sudden he's a citizen, right?

Puppy, why don't you say that right to his face? He's going to be at the gang

summit. You and Rudy will be babysitting.

Also, give me Mack, Lay, and K -Sack on that one. Moving right along, item 12.

Codenames, straight flush.

Once again, we got your unsavory criminal elements strong -arming your

owners. This time into getting them to install

Some of the latest in the state -of -the -art electronic gambling devices.

Now, what we're talking about here is your basic computerized video poker

We got Detective Belker on this one, and we got Officers Hill and Renko assigned

undercover.

We're hoping, in fact, that Belker can infiltrate the whole organization.

Guys, word of caution. Don't draw to an inside straight.

All right.

Item 13, budget cuts.

City Council just published a list.

of proposed deletions to the new budget.

And I am real sorry to say that it looks like the equine unit is in big trouble.

However, Lieutenant Hunter is going to be addressing that very subcommittee

morning. And he feels, or he's pretty sure anyway, that as he said, he can

some horse sense into the naysayer.

Almost done, guys.

Got a couple more items.

Personal nature, Mick Belker, reminds me to remind you that the chessboard on

his desk is the focus of an ongoing serious contest between he and

Hunter. So don't touch the pieces. Your chess can't even play tic -tac -toe.

Okay, also Andy Renko wanted me to announce that he knows that some of his

groomsmen have not yet had their tuxedo fitting.

Now, now, now, the groom don't want to... lead anybody down the aisle like

schoolboys or nothing, but Joe Coffey and my best man... Come on, all right,

right. All right, you know who you are.

It's that Sam Waterloo's Acre Tuxedo, 1797 West Polk, y 'all.

All right, all right, all right.

It's been pretty good. This warm streak looks like it's going to last for at

least another week.

Now, it's come to my attention that some of you fun lovers have been using the

roof of this very building.

as a kind of personal salarian. What you do with your lunch is what you do. But

I have here your basic memo from Division, which says that one of their

went over our roof yesterday and saw two officers, one male and one female,

sunbathing in their underwear.

How's Eddie looking?

Hey, Pete, talk to me in a couple more weeks.

Yo, Harry, what's the matter? The worst, man.

The worst start on a day.

You mean the guy

you're

going to be working for the rest of your life?

Floyd Joyner's looking for me. I told him to come up here. Hey, hey, hey, look

for him. Anytime you feel like doing some police work.

We got three shells of Mendoza fowls to go through, okay? There was a police

case, Harry.

My goodness,

Nick, you amaze me.

You bring to the board predatory instincts and a kind of naive gusto that

marvelous to behold.

Occasionally reminiscent of the raw native energy of a young Capablanca.

A Sicilian defense opening these broad corridors to your bishops. The bold

thrust of your queen -side pawns. But, unfortunately, Mick, as you have here,

the young Capablanca often fell victim to his own excesses. Speed at the

of strategy.

Brute showed power at the expense of finesse.

In spite of which, I maintained that if you would take the time to refine your

gifts, Mick...

You have all the makings of a first -rate player.

Checkmate.

Hi, Todd Courtney with the PD's office. I'll be handling Miss Davenport's

caseload. Excuse me.

Is Davenport being called to try? Uh, yeah, must have. She phoned the office

have somebody take her case interviews.

I want to hear no baby talk. I think

I can relish it.

Relish what?

Look in that geek's face when I ride down on him from the saddle of an

stag. The horse ray strikes an almost superstitious fear into your uneducated

city -dwelling brown types.

Well, look at Cortez and the subjugation of the Aztecs.

Detective H.

Garibaldi, please. Mr. Journey, you want to come talk?

We'll go right over here, please.

It's a crime, you know.

But you did.

operating without no insurance. It's also a crime, Mr. Joyner, if you

and you perjure yourself about your injuries. Now I hit you going about 10

per hour. I'm unemployed, got three kids to feed, and some cop with a job goes

around having accidents with no insurance. Look, if you get me an

your car and you send me the doctor bills, I'm going to make sure you get

Hey, I don't want you to sweat blood, and I don't want to sue nobody neither,

but I'm in trouble, and you cops are responsible.

How's that, Mr. Joyner? Busted a couple of nights ago on my way home from a

game.

Cop said something about a robbery.

Took me back to a liquor store.

White kid worked behind there saying I'm the one.

And he had dough on you? From shooting the craps.

And I had a gun, which I have a permit for.

Last gig was security guard, you know.

Well, the cops, your P .D., they check out the crowd game, they find any

witnesses? A floating game like that, you'd never see them dudes again.

Mr. Joyner, do you have a criminal record?

One conviction, 12 years ago, for fighting, but that's it.

Detective, I am innocent.

I mean, the guy said he was robbed for $200. I had $400 on me. What I'm doing

robbing him if I'm holding $200?

He could have robbed someplace else.

Oh, come on. Give me a break. I have a wife and three kids to feed. All I'm

asking is you help me with this and I'll drop my whole injury case. Don't forget

you ever said that, okay?

No, no, no. I will not forget I said that.

Please. I cannot go to prison for something I did not do.

All right, look, I'll tell you what.

If the arrest report bags up what you say, then I'll investigate.

No, I'm not going to get you off. I'm not going to change anything.

Investigate. You investigate.

And you get no lawsuit from me, brother.

Simple logical war, Captain.

Treaties expire and people trying to jockey for position be in power on the

treaties. I'm fully aware of the reasons for these incidents.

I'm here to tell you all they're not going to be tolerated.

What you want the dudes to understand is jockeying ain't going to pay.

It's like in my job program.

Ain't no way anybody does trouble, they're going to get a job.

Man lies like a blood.

Excuse me?

Everybody knows where the problems at, Peabody.

The capital P.

You're giving the jobs the blood, you're selling the jobs out.

Jobs go to who's qualified, man.

Lies.

You're lying, maricón.

Previous week, this individual and I had a situation.

Dude got noise that I had to administer an amount of discipline.

Ain't that right, Ernesto?

Had to put you in line, didn't I?

You lose your colors, punk.

What's dumber than a Diablo is a Diablo without his jacket, man. Marcus took his

haqueta. A lot of jackets, a lot of times, gonna bring you down, boy. You

understand? You understand?

I want the bag.

Natalie, see how you think this reads.

To misplace love.

Although the miles may squash the smiles we shared so long ago, And you're in

Vegas, and I'm not.

My heart still aches for you so.

So roll the dice.

I'll take that chance and tend the window's light.

But if you crap out, just remember, I'll always be here, Margot.

What do you think? I want to work on the ending. It's cute, Leo.

Cute? Well, I mean, it's nice.

So you like it? Yeah. Are you going to send it back?

Maybe I should work on it some more. It could only get better.

You're right. The ending definitely needs a little more oomph.

I don't know.

Have we made any progress?

It's a powder keg. Give me a breakdown of youth court job offers by gang and

possible racial.

Lucky they stopped you, chump.

You come around looking for a job the right way.

Maybe you get it. What's up, man?

I have to pay you off? Go ahead.

Be the fool.

Maybe you're the fool, T -Body.

Hey, Nesto!

Stop acting like a kid.

You got something to say to me, man? I'm wearing the colors. I'm a member here.

And I'm getting nothing from you. You ain't doing nothing.

What do you mean?

I need the Diablo leader to be a man.

Big talk for a kid, Nesto.

Ah, the hell with you, man. You ain't gonna do nothing.

I heard Marcus.

He said he'd give you the job.

Now you want me to go to him and say, don't give him the job. What kind of

satisfaction do you want? Not the job, man.

Let's go home.

No!

I say, the hell with you!

Mr. Brandon. Yeah?

Jimmy Lestaza. We talked on the telephone.

Right.

So what's the matter? Why the long purse?

I'm not sure I want those poker machines.

You're not sure? Well, that's why I'm here. I thought I might be able to

persuade you, so I brought along these statistics.

Your guy already showed me the brochure, Mr. Lestaza. That's not the problem.

That's why I got mad at him. He don't know how to close.

But, uh...

It wasn't exactly his fault, Mr. Lestars. I mean, uh... Hey, Mr.

Brandon. Mr. Brandon, you're looking at another source of revenue.

I mean, a 37 % increase in reported profitability, which between me, you,

lamppost, a cash business like these machines... I mean, when was the last

you heard a guy report his last time of profit? I'd love to make the dough. It's

frankly, uh... I'm afraid to get involved.

With what's that, Wally?

With you fellas.

Wally! Look, I had trouble getting this license. I did a two -year bit when I

was a kid.

There's all kinds of trouble, Wally.

Statistics show that various things can happen if you don't make the

installations. I don't start with the threats.

Statistics. I don't lie.

Suddenly, I mean, there's a drop -off of sales.

Clientele are going elsewhere, which has the poker machines.

To incidents of the smallest wear and tear.

To incidents of your physical layout.

Hey, hey, come on!

All the way to flame.

That's enough.

Look at this.

A Budinsky.

You know something?

Anybody can have an incident.

Joey! Joey!

Joey!

Joey, it's my face, Joey. Joey.

Joey, my face. Lay back.

Now, Mr. Brandon had specific reservations, which you are not helping.

How do you want me to help?

Wally? I'm afraid of losing control of my joint.

Well, we'll put it on a trial basis.

He puts them in for a month.

After that, he can have them removed, no questions asked. Great, great.

Fifty percent apiece, Wally.

Enough is enough, Wally!

Okay.

All right, you got a deal.

What's your name?

Mike. Mike what?

Fleischer. You his partner?

He's got a note with me. I'm just supervising my interest.

You want I should call for the machines?

Yeah, go get the machines, Joey.

You're an excitable guy, Mike.

Well, I don't wish to sound prejudiced, sir, but take a look at that.

I call that one of the most... stately steed that ever took bit between teeth.

I'm to understand you purchased the horse?

Yes, and I wish to donate his services to the city along with $5 per diem

towards the stable cost.

May I ask why you are making this offer?

Budgetary effectiveness is my language too, gentlemen.

Compare the benefits to the commonwealth of this partially subsidized equine

strike force versus the numerous budget items contained in here, which

constitute little more than pitching tax dollars into a blast furnace.

Budgetary adipose, gentlemen, most evident in line 39B, funding bilingual

education for people whose first and last language will always be pre

Or 57J, counseling services for unwed mothers. Gentlemen, please.

Provide them with scarlet letters if you wish. Just wait one minute, Buster.

Excuse me, Faye? You've already spoken, ma 'am. Yes, I know, but you know you

never let me finish. And besides, what I want to say is that it's really unfair

to push one program by belittling the unwed mother's program.

It's our job to decide what's fair here, ma 'am.

And you may have noticed that Lieutenant Hunter has the floor now. Thank you.

Excuse me one minute, Howard.

But I wonder if these gentlemen would be prepared to give up some of their

goodies. You know, like their raises, their junkets to Tokyo. Which happens to

be our sister city of the Orient and has much to offer in the way of rapid

transit and manufacturing expertise.

Right, not to mention cheap pearls and free vacations for the wives.

You know, unwed mothers get no goodies, gentlemen.

The horse has a long and noble history of conflict resolution.

If you are so eager to see how other people live, I suggest you take a junket

to South Decker.

Visit an unwed mother living in that squalor with no heat, no food, no money,

and most important, no hope for her child's future.

You know that the tax money spent on one of your wife's plane tickets could feed

them both for months.

Ma 'am, you're entirely out of order. You have used up your allotment of time.

don't care.

I refuse to sit in silence while you let General Custer here convince you to do

for horses what you won't do for human beings. For the final time, neither of

those issues has been decided.

However, despite what you may think of this council, common sense should tell

you that we're not going to rob underprivileged citizens so that a

policemen can play ride -em cowboy.

That's very reassuring.

Thank you.

Lieutenant Hunter, I believe you have one minute left.

Journey with me now back to the streets of ancient Rome.

Up to a wine tasting, huh?

So, yeah.

I've been held up about six, eight times in two years. Look, excuse me if I lost

count. Why don't you tell me?

Four times in the last four months.

Look, I'm a liquor store. I'm the only cash machine in town.

So what's new?

Maybe you need a new set of gates.

A new nephew, then gates.

That'd be Sammy Morrison. Am I right? Is he working today?

Now that's the $64 ,000 question.

You want to make yourself useful, why don't you find Sammy and I can go to

lunch? My paperwork indicates that Mr. Morse phoned in the last four robberies.

Oh, he's good at that, handing over my till.

But ask him to put three cases of Stoli in the back, and he comes out with the

corpse, he's got the drips, plus he's got to go out for fresh air, and plus if

you go count the stock the next day, there's only two cases.

Look it, don't get me started. Yeah, okay, so why don't you get rid of the

I'm going to go to my sister's house for Thanksgiving dinner after I fire her

little Sammy.

Okay, look, would you do me a favor? If Mr. Morse comes in today, would you have

him call Detective Garibaldi at this number?

Sure. If he comes in sometime this year.

Mr. Brandon.

Mr. Franco.

Wally Brandon.

Oh, where's this Mike?

That's the guy I want to meet. I'm right here.

You're Mike.

Yeah, what's your name?

Nice to meet you. Lester Franco. Nice to meet you, Lester.

So, Mr. Brandon, I understand we've got a trial marriage.

30 -day no -fault arrangement.

Right. Run it down for him, Jimmy.

Well, the machines don't pay off when somebody wins.

You've got to pay them from your register.

Which the machines track the payoffs.

Don't cheat your partners.

Partners with this fellow, Michael?

No, I just made him a loan to get started.

Yeah, Jimmy tells me you might have an interest in making some other loans.

You might want to put some dough on the street. That's a definite possibility.

Because we have ways to make that happen.

We have a steady stream of loan applications. Okay, switch. We get from

Help me sold that machine over there, please.

Right now.

You all up for business?

Yeah. Break it in. Bobby.

Hi, Doc. How are you doing? Two sodas. What do I do now?

Buck and a half. What's the problem?

I got two kings, an ace, and two little ones.

Well, push the buttons under what you want to keep, punch draw, and you'll get

couple more cards.

Okay. You play those?

Ah, it's too hard for me to stop.

I'm that way with cookies.

Hi, Doc.

Look at this.

What happened?

Full house.

You see that? Those machines are loose.

I won.

Hey, it's 30 to 1. Pay the man off, Wally.

Hey, pay the man off, Wally.

All right, that's it.

This establishment is closed.

Oh, man.

Lady, lady, what is the deal here?

This bar is being padlocked for violation of the state liquor law,

the premises. Patrons are asked to leave. Now, don't give me a hard time,

Lady, what about my 30 to 1? You can turn it into 30 days if you like, pal.

I can, can't I?

Interfering with the state liquor authority. This is a travesty. This is a

miscarriage of justice. You hear me, lady? Take everybody outside, sir. I

miscarriage. Are you the owners here? No, ma 'am. I'd suggest you leave.

You see this, Mike? This here's a great argument for diversification.

Let's you and I talk.

There was an ensuing scuffle during which Marcus backed Officer Davis into a

shard of glass.

Inadvertently. It appeared so.

Are you all right?

Yeah, it's just a bad day cut. Rudy, any objections if we don't bring charges?

No, none here.

I grabbed the guy. He got a little hot. It happens.

Okay, thanks. That's all.

Thank you.

I appreciate that, Frank. Mr. Mayor, I have to be honest with you. I think you

have a problem with Peabody. Frank, we both know this kid's background.

He's come a long way. I want to give him the shot. I'd like to see him work out.

So would I. And in the meantime, his temper aside, I keep hearing allegations

corruption. He's hiring only members of his own gang.

Will you check that out for me? We're doing that.

How you doing on treaty renewal?

We're trying.

I know it's a bump in incidents.

Always happens when they're about to expire.

Can I take Peabody with me?

Yeah, they should be releasing him soon.

Thanks, Frank.

Since when do you people move on a place without notifying us? I could ask you

the same question. They have a slight difference.

Not only did you compromise an operation, you put officers at risk.

wouldn't have happened if I'd known the guys were in there. Which you would have

known had you bothered to check. Okay, so the left hand ought to know what the

right hand is doing.

And maybe that would be the case if it wasn't for the fact that the left hand

has been known to dip into the wrong pocket. As opposed to the spotless

of your department.

Okay.

So now we both see how this situation could happen. Let's get one thing

straight. This isn't Jerry Fuchs you're dealing with now.

Whatever happened before is history. I don't want to have our people

because of it. Okay, I hear you.

I still have people out there and I don't want you anywhere near them. In

I want to know every movie you make from here on out. Okay, all right.

Sorry about the mix -up.

Friendly crowd up here.

See you later.

Mr. Brandon, I'm trying to get up to speed. You're trying to get up to speed?

I get approached by some muscle guys, I come to you people, and I wind up

closed, and my license is gone. My best understanding is that the State Liquor

Authority was unaware that we had an undercover.

Why don't all you people speak the same language? Don't you all talk bribe? Now

look, we're going to do the best we can to get you open as fast as we can.

Great, and who's going to put food on my table meantime and pay my bills? I'm

really very sorry about that, but I can promise you we're going to try to

straighten it out.

That's it? You're going to try? That's it.

I'll keep you posted.

Go be a citizen.

I was really getting a bum shake.

No argument, Mick.

Did your cover hold?

Yeah, I think so. How did you leave it with that?

I'm supposed to go to this other joint this afternoon.

Excuse me, Neil.

Neil, can I talk to you for a second? Yeah, sure.

I'll talk with you later, Terry, okay?

All right, I pulled all the papers.

Now, this Floyd's a clean family guy, and the liquor store clerk is a bum.

look, you haven't even talked to the guy, Harry. Right, he didn't call.

No, I'm telling you, his own uncle thinks he's a total bum. From the

description, he sounds like a drug.

I'm going to run this PCI. Harry, Captain wants to see you right away.

Right away.

I've been working on the poem. Do you want to hear the new version?

Do I have to? I really punched it up.

Leo, look, I really hate saying this, you know, but I think you're kidding

yourself. Your wife bought a ticket to Vegas and it was one way.

Yeah.

I mean, you ought to get on with your own life.

You're right.

What do you do at night?

I don't know.

Got my dice baseball set.

Yeah?

Yeah, there's a hot pen and raisin, so that's a plus.

You ever play an away game?

What? Why don't you play at my ballpark tonight?

You like chicken in a pot?

It's only leftovers.

It's better the second time.

Leo!

I'm pulling the duty list.

We got shots fired down at that Job Corps surface.

Yeah, sure.

Yes, the clerk called.

Yes, he's angry.

Claims you're trying to get him fired. Not true, Captain. What were you doing

there? An ongoing investigation. Your ongoing investigation?

I also received a call from O'Malley on the night shift. He claims you're trying

to mix in on his case. Yeah, well, if he'd done some police work on it, then I

wouldn't have to. Hey, I spoke to O'Malley. I didn't go behind his back.

told you politely to back off. Well, I'm telling you a little less politely.

What happened this morning between you and the defendant, Floyd Joyner?

Had a little fender bender.

My insurance was expired.

Putting aside that that's a VTL misdemeanor, how the hell do you think

with you out there trying to clear the guy of a rap?

What's next? Please bargain any hookers in the back seat? Wait, there's no deal

between me and Mr. Joyner, Captain. I think that the man is innocent. I say

there is a deal, whether you agree to it in words or not. Stay away from it.

The man is innocent. Stay away.

Hey! He's got a gun. He's crazy.

What's going on? What happened?

This punk kid comes in and says he had an appointment to see Marcus.

Marcus Peabody? Right.

Who's the kid?

Diablo, that crazy freak that jumped him this morning. I knew something was

wrong with him, dude. I knew something was wrong.

Marcus said let him in, though, you know? So he goes in.

Yeah, Unit 2203. Starts a shot. We have a hostage situation at the Youth Corps

Job Center.

A Diablo kid has Marcus Peabody.

Hey, you tell him to shoot Martinez.

He don't want to take care of business.

I'm going to do it. You hear me?

I'll kill him.

Tell me you better get Martinez in here.

I'm going to take care of business.

Is it manageable in terms of backups, Henry?

Seems to be for now.

All right, then Howard should be there in about 20 minutes. Any kind of break,

Frank? I think we're going to get the kid out.

Sergeant. Sergeant.

Rowan, Judge Wachtell.

Cut the ceremony, Frank. You call me Alan.

This is going to shock you, Frank. We have been having communications problems

among the enforcement arms.

More? I .e., more than the SLA follow -up at your undercover bar?

No. I guess you could say this is all part of the same follow -up.

We have been moving on Lester Franco.

The one productive fact that came out of a shouting session I had with those SLA

people this afternoon was that you also have been moving on Lester Franco. Damn

it, Erwin.

This kind of crap is not funny. I have men out there at risk. Franco approached

Wachtell to toss a South Ferry bust on these video poker games. Whatever they

expected, Frank, based on heaven knows what past history, Dorothy Wachtell did

not raise a corrupt jurist.

Alan had agreed to wear a wire on these guys. We had arranged a meeting for

tonight at the Lucky Deuce. Don't help me. I think I'm becoming an excitement

junkie. This should have been coordinated earlier, Frank. We are

coordinate it now. We have moved the liquor authority proceeding onto Alan's

docket. We want to make sure we're not going to bump into anything of yours.

I'll call you at the end of business.

Hey, let's not cop an attitude, Frank.

I'm the one that's going on to the front line.

I'm having Belker Inventory as cover. I'll call you when I know. Fine. Good.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Frank. I really am.

I'm sure Bilker's playing hardball, too. Alan. Hey.

We're all on the front lines.

Judge.

Neil.

Neil, look at the BCI in the liquor store, Clark.

I've got New Haven, Connecticut, larceny one, he copped to the miss.

Dope. Heroin, another larceny one, all dismissed.

Go to New Haven and see what it was? Not yet.

Oh, Harry.

Sit down, man.

Now, you do Mendoza, okay?

It's a nice place.

How come it's not open? Well, we don't like to stay open too long, Mike. Four

hours a night.

I use it more like an office, Mike.

We've been here now more than 16 years.

Give me a 7 -7.

This one, the liquor authority don't close.

You had no inkling they were after you. None whatsoever.

Because usually you can smell something like that in the wind.

Whatever.

Step into my office.

You know, we think we can open you up again pretty quick.

How are you going to do that?

Something with the judiciary.

In the meantime, we want you to get well again.

We want to put your money to work. Good, good.

Because I thought maybe you would figure I was bad luck.

There's no such thing as that, Michael.

I don't believe in it. We provide you with applicants and collection

You make loans up to 10 Gs, you give us three points a month. Anything over

that, you pay us two and a half. I don't need any help with collections.

Tough guy.

Suppose you get a postcard from Florida.

Yeah, you're right.

You're right. You can never have too much help, Michael.

You can never be too well connected.

I'm in.

Atta boy.

Hey, sorry, just about to close for a few minutes. Let's close it. Hey, no,

seriously. Seve Morse, right?

Who wants to know?

Got a few questions.

What's the matter? You got a cold, Sammy?

Oh, man, I talked to you guys a hundred times already.

Ever been to New Haven, Sammy? See, we made a few calls to New Haven cops.

Found out you worked in a liquor store, right? Yeah, wait a minute. How about

this larceny bit? Is that right what they say you were doing, Sammy? Skimming

the till like that? Yeah, I wasn't. You claimed that somebody kept holding you

up. No, I... Fourth time they found the cash in your car.

Six months later, you get busted on the same shot in Albany. Hey, I got my ride.

Oh, it only cost you three months, Sam.

But now you're doing it here, Sam.

And it's the third time around, too. You know, you could go away for a pretty

good strip, my man. Hey, Sammy.

Hey!

Teddy, what's happening, man?

Hey. Hey.

Hey, I was just looking to get some... Oh, no good, bro. Hey, what's the

You dealing to Sammy?

Hey, don't get liver, Sammy. Just put your hands on the counter, you two, man.

Oh, man, this is lit. Booze is legal.

Ooh, look at here.

Look at here, my man. Uh -huh. Pretty expensive habit you got here, Sammy.

You have to dig pretty deep in your pocket, don't you?

You have to dip into your uncle's pocket, too. Ain't that right?

Yeah. What's that?

Can't hear you, Sammy. Yeah, yeah, I said yeah!

Ah, no stick -up, right? Just Sammy picking up the tap for his Jones.

Put your head back down on the counter, you two chumps.

You look pretty tired to me.

Listen, Nesto.

You do the right thing, bro.

That's right.

There'll be other days better than this. The grievances have been heard, Nesto.

I promise you something's going to be done about your situation.

Nobody has to get hurt.

No. No more damage.

Henry's got the kid positioned. His adrenaline is running dry. We can get

out, Frank.

How's Peabody? He's all right. We can hear him. Who's pumped?

Ernesto Montalbancho. He's at the album. Incident this morning.

Kid took a swinging.

Walk out of here tall. Now.

Henry. Listen, Ernesto.

We got friends out here. He want anything specific.

He's digging it back.

That's right.

Ernesto. Are you ready to do what we talked about? Did Marcus provoke this in

any way? Not that we know. The impression is Peabody's standing him

He's putting it down. It's coming out.

It's all right. Don't shoot.

All right, it's cold. It's cold.

Something made a mistake.

All right.

Valentine.

Coffee, Davis.

Is that right?

Hand down, hand down.

Okay,

we'll find the suspect.

Get him the hell out of here.

He's finished.

Get me the hell out of here, too.

You're damn right I took the chance, man. He already fired on me twice. Wait

second. Wait a second.

Hadn't he indicated he was about to surrender?

Hey, man, look, I'm no mind reader. The kid had a piece on me. My understanding

was he'd lowered the gun. Hey, look, I self -defend myself, all right? Anything

wrong with that?

Now wait for you. Maybe you talk him into this or that, or maybe I'm dead. It

was a struggle, and the gun went off.

Perjury, filing a false police report.

Destiny would intent to sell.

Uh -uh, this way, gentlemen.

Neil, Captain wants to see you. Okay, Lieutenant.

Howard?

What's wrong, Howard?

I have just heard that the Equine Rapid Development Force has been felled by the

budget addicts. I'm sorry?

By heavens, Raimundo, am I to be mastered by these blue -penciled,

mealy minds? Must my joy have occupational sanction?

Juice. Life is too short.

Joy too seldom to come by.

Apollo stays.

I don't understand, Howard.

Apollo. What is Apollo? Apollo, Apollo, my horse.

If the city council doesn't want him, I do, and I'm going to keep him. Give him

all the hell with you, Your Honor.

Where's Furillo?

Hey, forget it, Marcus. I want Furillo.

You're not getting him, so just lighten up. He took my job, man. He shuffled me

out. Because you killed that kid, huh?

Hey, spit his hands off me. No, Marcus. No, Marcus. No, Marcus. Careful.

Get off of me. I got him. I got him. Get off of me. I got him. I'll take care of

him.

You lighten up, Marcus.

You lighten up or your head is busted and you're gone.

Tom.

Whatever you say, whatever you want. You just don't get yourself jammed.

Understand? I mean, you know the man took my job.

I just talked to that Tom May on the phone, man.

He already took my job.

And you talk about jamming me up.

Yeah, well, I'm sorry about that.

Now you relax.

Take it easy. I was defending myself.

Yeah, take it easy.

Is that what you wanted? What'd you tell him, huh? You tell him Peabody's too

street? Hey, Marcus.

Peabody can't be your soul, huh?

Marcus.

Listen to me.

We've already made two mistakes today.

And you can't win this one. You can't win, man. Not now.

You just move on.

You understand that?

Move.

You'll understand, man.

I was trying to help.

You made a smart bust.

Thank you, sir.

Now give me 30 seconds on why I shouldn't transfer Garibaldi.

I don't know, Captain.

Maybe you should.

What's the count?

Because he doesn't listen, because he handles himself like a kid, and because

maybe he gets his partner caught in the switches. What about that liquor store

thing, Captain? I went back there on my own hook. Did some calling, decided to

complain and move it back.

By the way, I checked with O'Malley, the night guy.

He was cool once. I laid it out for him.

Okay, I'll keep him.

Harry's okay, Captain. Maybe he gets a little cute sometimes, you know, but

got to get taught.

It'll be your job until J .D. gets back.

I'll try, Captain, you know.

Good.

Because I like Harry Neal. I think he's a bright, concerned guy. But he rear

-ended a citizen. His insurance has expired. A whole day's gone by and it's

probably still expired.

And I hear you, Captain.

What? What do you do?

Here. Put this on. What is it? A tuxedo. Where have you been all day? Never mind

where I've been. This is for the summer love benefit.

Remember? The need of children who have to go to summer camp.

I thought the deal was I'd buy the tickets if we didn't have to go.

Well, we decided to go.

We did?

I'm sorry, Frank. I mean, I know I took the liberty, but I just felt like

dancing.

Do you really mind?

No, it's okay.

Seriously?

Nope, it's all right.

If we can stop at Murphy's on the way back, get a burger?

You got it. If we can stop at Murphy's on the way over and get a burger?

You got that. If we can stop at Murphy's on the way back... Go on, go change.

Now you look here, sucker. I've done too much covering in my time. So if you're

going to make it up here, you're going to make it fast. You dig it?

Captain. Captain.

Ken and Barbie.

You're funny dudes, you know that?

People like you.

I like you.

But you could go either way, Harry, and everybody up here knows it, man.

We drove to the shore.

And I rented a rowboat. And I had lunch in this little outdoor cafe. It was

wonderful, Frank.

I didn't think about courtrooms or squad rooms all day.

Good for you, Joyce.

Thank you, Erwin.

Erwin.

We could all take a lesson, Frank.

Or we could all take a drink.

Or we could all take a flight.

No, it's mine.

Joycey? One hour, 46 minutes to D -Day.

We're working what I'm tentatively calling Operation Bid Scam.

A little discretion, Alan.

We're all officers of the court here. Erwin, lighten up.

I'm wearing a wire.

You're also wearing a wig.

Well, they'll be expecting us. They'll think I'm a judge taking a bribe.

think I'm scared. They'll think I think I'd better be incognito.

Ergo?

Rucko. Good thinking, Al.

Gotta try it, Bernstein.

Gives us Baldis a whole other dimension of sexuality.

It's also warm.

I have to go.

Why? I have a massacre on my hands. I'm really sorry.

You want to stay?

Yes.

I'll see you to a cab, Frank.

Go get them, Frank.

It's me.

Give them hell, Wachtell.

Judge Wachtell, don't wait up for me. I'm going to be late.

Shootouts.

Gang wars.

Covert operations.

Oh, God, I love it.

Frank, did I ever tell you about the time I wore a mic in my brassiere?

Do you know what a steamer is?

No.

I get carried away when I bet. And if I start to lose, I get steamed. I start to

build my bets up.

Mr. Franklin, does this man look like a head doctor? I'm just saying, okay?

So the book, he lets me play, man. He lets me go to 1 ,000 a game.

Does this man look like your bookmaker, Mr. Franklin?

I need 3 ,000, and I can pay it back. I can pay it back to him in about six

weeks.

That'll happen when it happens. The only thing this man has got to know that

every Monday, until it's paid up, you're here with an envelope.

Either myself or Joey DeSoto.

Hey, what time you want me here Monday?

Excuse me. I'll be right back.

Meet your cause.

Has it occurred to you you're frisking a judge?

I got my instructions, Your Honor.

Hey. Hey, Mike.

What kind of Mickey Mouse is this, huh?

Anybody can walk in here.

Mr. Franco said search him. But what are you going to do? Search him or kiss

him? Keep the door jammed. Go on. Go on.

Good morning, you meticulous.

Wounded one critically.

Bystander. Who started it? They came in to pay back the blood. About 20 Diablos

and four cars.

The blood we're expecting had ambushed them here.

First gunfire, then hand -to -hand in the street.

The Diablos got messed up. Hey, we got them, man! We killed them! They're

driving away!

The sirens took off. Where's Jesus?

Nobody knows.

They say he wasn't any part of it.

Here's a piece of news.

Marcus Peabody was with the blood.

Three witnesses saw him.

All right, APB on Peabody. Everybody on the night shift out on a...

Don't choice me. You left.

After you left, I had a wonderful time.

Great. Rub my nose in it.

I'm not rubbing your nose in anything.

But after you left, I had a wonderful time.

I laughed. I danced.

I felt good.

You couldn't do that before I left?

All I know is...

From the moment I walked away from work this morning... to right now.

Every moment I've had alone, I've been happy.

Sounds as if you don't mean alone, you mean without me.

Please don't make me the heavy, Frank.

I'm not the heavy.

But yes, I love you beats mad.

I just need some time by myself.

What exactly are you talking about? I'm talking about our lives. I'm talking

about this day in and day out mayhem.

This world that's got no upside.

As far as I can see anyway.

That we work in, we bring home.

You mean our jobs or our life together?

Don't you see how intertwined they've gotten?

I've known you five years, Frank.

We haven't taken more than a long weekend's vacation.

Look at tonight.

Joyce, they're running wild. They're killing each other. What am I supposed

do? Say, excuse me, I have a dress ball to go to.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't have gone. I understand your priorities.

It's just that I can't take it right now.

I need a break.

If we took a vacation.

You know it.

You know how many times we've talked about it and never taken it?

What do you really want?

I want you not to hate me for saying this.

I need a couple of weeks off.

Minimum. I need to be able to come home to me.

And only me.

I need for us to be separate.

Like the old days.

I guess that's what we'll have to do.

I feel horrible about this, Frank, but I can't.

I have to know what I'm really feeling.

Think we both do.
