Another omelet, officer?

No, thanks, baby. Stopped walking around already.

It's running late.

Kenny, eat your breakfast.

Oh, Emilia! I already asked you what you wanted, and you said cereal.

Now eat it. Take it easy, honey.

Well, I'm sorry, Neil. I'm just worried about dinner. You can't make it tonight.

You may not still have to say it. I'm 80 % sure I'll be here, baby. You were 90

% sure the last time Mother took two buses to get here, and you didn't even

show. You didn't even call. Hey, look, baby, I'll do everything I can to make

by 8, okay?

It's a busy time down at the precinct now. A lot of stuff going down.

Oh, wait, no.

I got it. I got it. Don't sweat, baby. It's just that I can never plan

I never know anything.

Hey, hey.

You know one thing, Lynetta. It's okay, Mom. He'll be here.

Won't you, Neil?

Yeah, sure.

I'll make it somehow.

Seven sharp.

Don't you worry. Hey, I gotta go.

And you, pay attention at school, okay?

Yeah. Okay.

All right, see y 'all later.

Yeah? Can I do something for you, miss?

Maybe.

Item seven. This is a memo from our friends at the Suicide Prevention

Statistics are showing nearly a 500 % increase in what looks like self

fatalities among vagrants.

Now, to put this straight forward, six men have been found looking like...

All beef patties have to have fallen from high places.

Mick Belker's going to do an undercover to see if there's any evidence of foul

play. Item 8.

Ongoing. Halloran and Dickerson.

Newman rides with O'Malley.

Item 9.

The Arts Council is unveiling a piece of artwork over at the Anderson Savings

Plaza. Now, there's going to be speeches, and the Arts Council has

minimal police presence. Coffee? Sergeant Bates?

You're art lovers.

You draw the club.

Okay, item ten.

Item ten. People, FYI.

I just got word from Convoy over at Midtown.

IAD went after one of their uniforms for accepting a 25 -cent newspaper from the

blind guy out in front of the court. I don't care if it's a green stamp worth a

tenth of a mil. Don't.

These ten days since the Farilla Commission has wound up have created a

new atmosphere downtown.

I mean, worth to watch.

Okay, item 10.

No, 11, last item. Lieutenant Bunce is going to be late today.

He's having emergency oral surgery.

I know, but he smells worse than two Razorback hogs. They're like a big old

Is there something you want to say, Andy? What?

No, no, nothing.

Okay, let's go.

They're getting away out there.

Now, ain't that too bad? Breaks my heart. Hey, hey, you're under arrest.

You got the right to remain silent. Unless you want the rest of your face

in, I'd strongly advise you to exercise that right. Hey, you listen to me, Jack.

All you got is aroused, because I don't see no crime, Dick.

No, no, I do see one.

I see false arrest real clear.

Yeah. Shut up and eat your breakfast, buttface.

Go ahead, man.

Don't bother me none, because that's police brutality.

You see this face?

That's a brutalized face.

You could go bald real fast, you know that?

You've got the right to remain silent.

Now, here's how it goes, pal.

This is class here, and you don't ever want to spit on class.

We have a 911.

Unlocking in progress.

See surplus store corner People's Drive.

What happens to them psychic fairs anyhow? Oh, it's great. You've got all

hippie mystical tits. Man, they're practically criminal.

That's where you met the car, huh? Yeah, who happened to be the one that wasn't

like that. Just one heavy brush. He had me sweating, hearing voices.

Sounds pretty wild. Hey, you guys got to try past life therapy. I'm not kidding

you. Uh -uh. I got my hands full with this light. See how easy it is to be

cynical? What have you got to lose? Now, J .D., the question is, what's your

statement? Well, it's nothing.

The first session, it's on the house. Well, if you go for the whole treatment,

make a couple of bucks.

I'll pass.

One of these things here. Sure.

You know, it's funny. I went to catch some laughing gas one time. I thought I

was like a polar soldier out west somewhere. That is your past life trying

break into the present. That's the whole thing right there. I'm sure it's free.

Hey, one full introductory hour of the therapist's time. It's real weird.

There's like this mountains, and then there's this big old pink sun, and then

like an eyeball looking at me.

It's real weird.

Hey, there's her number. It's only going to change your entire life.

What's that they say about one being reborn every minute?

I'm versed in the pride today. I'm proud of all of us. The Arts Council for

their devoted work.

Mrs. Jekyll, the Anderson Savings Bank for their interest and commitment.

But most of all, I'm proud of Bobby Castro.

A local artist who has labored long and hard.

but whose vision will finally be available for all to see and savor.

Well,

Bobby, would you like to say a few words before the actual unveiling?

Well, a lot of people ask me why I call this piece Attack Number 39.

Now, you know, I could tell you some jazz philosophy about the meaning of

sculpture. But, like, hey, I did not make...

to be explained.

All right, so let's see this thing.

Well, let's crank her up.

That's a spaceship.

Looks more like a giant...

I'm Joyce Davenport. I'll be representing you. This is your lucky

Counselor. This rat face comes out of nowhere and starts whacking me in the

alley. We're talking police brutality.

Brutalize my arms, brutalize my nose, brutalize my back. Let me guess, you're

claiming resisting arrest.

You got it. You think I tattooed these bruises on? You look a lot healthier

my client, Lieutenant.

Maybe I got a harder head. Maybe you got an uglier face.

Maybe you got a civil suit coming your way, Jackson.

Man offered me a concussion. That was contusion, Miss Davenport. Here's his

medical report. You know, Wendell, even for a moron, you don't talk too good.

Excuse me.

Have you seen Detective Washington?

Right over there.

Oh, thank you.

Hi,

ma 'am.

Hey, ma 'am, what's happening?

Oh, I'm sorry to disturb you at work, but I need to talk to you for a minute.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Right here.

Yes, ma 'am.

Well, my lunch hour is, say, about 12 o 'clock.

Well, I did have this experience once, but I can't talk about it right now

because some of my fellow officers happen to have what you call closed

Yes, dear dad, I'm looking forward to it, Miss Tara.

You would think a man had a better thing to do than to buy upon his partner.

I've been thinking about what happened at breakfast this morning, and I'm

upset.

And I didn't want to go into dinner without making things right.

Hey, it's okay, baby. Forget about it. Neil, I hate it when we fight.

And then afterwards, Kenny got all upset.

Kenny? What happened with Kenny? He started crying, and he wouldn't finish

breakfast, and then he didn't want to go to school.

Neil, he's crazy about you, but he's so sensitive. And when his father would

drink, he was awful to him.

Hey, tell you what. What if I go over to his school at lunchtime and check him

out, hmm?

Oh, Neil, I really appreciate this.

And I...

I do know how hard they're working, Lou.

Norm, my office.

That was a good word. Close the door.

Has the complainant come forward on the Morrison case?

The guy's a little hinky. It's no big deal.

Do we have his sheet?

Yeah, he's from Oklahoma.

He's out of state to imprint.

According to Morrison's attorney, your altercation this morning left him with a

hairline fracture of the jaw. Hey, he smacked me in the mouth. I mean, I just

had some dental work.

And on top of that, he spat on my upholstery. I don't care if he puked on

upholstery. Hey, look, we're not talking about your ordinary purse snatcher

here. I mean, this guy's a regular crow magnet.

This was a good bust.

I mean, it's not like I put a bag on him or anything.

You expect points for that?

Do respect, this don't have to do with Mrs. Farillo representing that tube

stake. It has to do with A .D .A.

Bernstein's having fixed that Morrison is going to hit us with a civil suit.

And best guess is, right now, he could win.

Uh -uh, not if we pull down that bakery truck driver. I know where he works. I'm

on my way over there right now. Look, believe me, I know what I'm doing here.

You've got to let me handle it. You keep me apprised, you understand?

No problem. On the other subject, what you're inferring about Ms.

Davenport, that's wrong, and it's insulting.

There are no special favors granted up here.

Okay, yeah.

You got that now?

Yeah, I got it.

Ain't no use talking about it.

I knows what happened to Larry.

Larry was a jumper.

That was no jumper.

Larry knew stuff.

Could have been a spookcaster. Larry was a jumper, Earl. Think maybe Larry

jumped off the Penrose Theater?

Did I say that?

He was a jumper in high school.

Held a city broad jump record.

Yeah, he was down.

But he wasn't out.

I was a fighter.

Except when he was drunk.

I saw some brothers try to take his money one night.

And Larry downstroked the guy good.

You know who got him?

The goat man got him.

What? The goat man?

They got other names for him. But I don't call him that.

The man is 12 feet tall.

Got horns on his head.

Got a voice like chalk on a blackboard.

It wasn't no goat, man.

Ask me. It was the little dudes.

You mean the Pixies? Mm -hmm. Because Pixies will mess you up. Who are they?

It was these two white dudes.

Real downtown.

Real friendly.

Star voices. Come out of a dream.

What did they say?

Now, what you want to know for?

How I know you ain't with them? I ain't with anybody. I'm trying to watch out

for myself.

Yeah, I can take that.

Well, you just stay away from them dudes.

You'll be okay.

Mr. Fox, you don't understand.

Either you sign that complaint or the guy walks.

Still don't get it, do you?

This morning was a lovely day.

Sun was out, birds in the sky.

Smell of warm bread. Look, I'm telling you, he's gonna do somebody else. Maybe

kill him.

That's their problem. What do you mean, their problem? What are you, some kind

of little girl, huh?

This is our problem.

I'm 52 years old.

I got a duodenal ulcer.

I got high blood pressure that looks like old faithful.

Say I sign this complaint, what happens?

Morrison's history, that's what happens.

Here's her history. Ten months.

A year on the outside.

Then old Napalm Daddy's back out on the street and decides to pay me a visit.

I can't use that. Look, no, you ain't thinking straight.

The last person this guy wants to see is the man that put him away, huh?

Well, some of you are funny papers.

I lived here all my life. I did appreciate what you did for me this

Yeah, right. I hope you're all Sir Pop's idea. I hope you get seven heart

attacks. One every day of the week.

You got blood pressure, too.

See how it goes?

Easy does it. Come on, you try.

No, here.

Here, you hold it right here in the middle of your head.

That's how you line it up, just right.

Now, you jump a little and shoot. Go ahead.

Now, take some more practice. Come on, let's do the game.

Mm -hmm.

That's it. Now, go ahead.

easy kid i mean it takes time for people to get together how come you like it

don't you yeah sure i like a lot but you see

after you get to be a certain age you get kind of used to being alone

it's just that uh the guys they like to do stuff a certain

way you know i mean you used to throw your toys all over the room right and

thought that was okay

And then I came along and I said, young man, clean them up. Now, don't that seem

a little weird to you sometimes?

Yeah. Uh -huh.

Yeah, see, that's just what I mean.

And you're only ten.

Now, think how different it is for people when they get a little older.

to work stuff out.

Get used to each other's habits.

Hey, come on.

Let's see that jump shot one more time, all right?

Well, I appreciate your concern, ma 'am, but I'm not an art critic.

No, I haven't seen it.

Well, yes, I understand, but what?

I mean, I think I understand what it is.

One man told me he thought it was a big fish.

Maybe if you thought of it that way, it would relieve your mind.

There's no need to get abusive with me, ma 'am. I didn't create the darn thing.

Lieutenant Goldblum. Over there.

Today's the day, Lieutenant.

Ready for Armageddon?

Greenglass.

Sure. Give me a moment.

Another IRS hearing, Henry? They're going to be hearing an earful.

Seeing an awful eyeful.

Guess I'd like to join the Sharpay Pet Club.

You keep telling me it's about to get straightened out and just keeps going on

and on.

Please. We've got it. When you grant Ed Greenglass a 28 % partnership in your

success, you've got to work a digger.

A dog with a million -dollar bone. Hey, we both know it's not a million -dollar

bone anymore.

We got a good shot at a hundred.

Maybe a hundred and a half.

Realistically? Realistically.

Minus my 28%. Well, that's less than $75 ,000.

I share your outrage.

Maybe you're moving a little precipitously. How about I call it?

Chances will reschedule, regroup. It's the battle plan.

No. Oh, that's a fighter.

Will there be a complaint against Mr. Morrison on these charges?

Yeah. You're looking at it. Hey, don't brag about it, Buncey. You could put out

a rise.

Listen, man, would me and my lawyer get through with you? You'd be sliding to

work on a skateboard.

Hey, Wendell, you want to make a speech, hire a hall.

We'll be all man.

You're the loneliest. You realize you could settle this right here.

If I sign a release?

That's right.

Considering the slenderness of your case, I'd think it's a prudent thing to

Only slender thing about him.

You can count on one thing, Miss Davenport.

I will never... Let this man walk. We're going to court.

Play it your way, Lieutenant.

But I think you can find better ways to spend your time. Well, I'll worry about

that, okay?

Hey, hey there, guy.

This is a herder, Ted.

What the hell do you want?

No, no, that's not the question.

The question is, what do you want?

What do you mean?

I mean, what do you want?

Like, do you want a meal?

Do you want a drink?

Do you want a friend? Because Ted and I, we'd like to be your friends.

What is this, a joke?

I think it's a joke, Brent.

We like to help guys who need it.

But you've got to trust us first.

We're going to have some fun now.

Me, you, and little Ted.

Come on, it's okay.

It's okay.

We'll plan it all for you over lunch. It's okay.

Yellow, like a scarf blowing in the wind.

Yes, Andrew, a yellow scarf.

And there's a smell.

Oh, Lord, what a smell.

What smell, Andrew?

Describe the smell to Tara. It smells like horse dung.

Yes, horse dung. And dying flesh.

Look out! What was it, Andrew?

Do you know where I am?

I'm a little big horse.

only a few of us left.

The hot wind blowing in our faces and the wild hoops of the savages.

Ah!

They got me.

General Custer, why didn't you listen?

You should have known.

Wonderful, Andrew.

Wonderful.

Now, when I clap my hands three times, you will wake up in life present tense.

One, two, three.

For the first time in his life, J .D. LaRue is telling the truth.

I have lived before.

You know, it doesn't have to be what you think it is. I mean, there could be a

lot of different things.

Yeah, like what?

Like a guided business.

Yeah.

A barber pool, maybe.

Totem pole.

Or lipstick. It looks like a very large lipstick. Sure, a lipstick.

Yeah, that's close, Luce.

It's art, Joe, okay? It is a piece of artwork.

Look, I don't know anything about art, but I do know about pornography, and I

don't think that people should have to see that in public.

I didn't know you were such a prude.

Now, what's gotten into you?

Ever since you started going out with that sculptor... He's a potter, and I'm

not going out with him. I'm taking his class.

Well... You think he's hypnotic? No, I didn't say that. It's just that lately

you've become very interested in Mr. Sensitive's pots.

What do you mind out of the gutter?

Oh, oh, now who's being the prude?

Yeah. All units in the vicinity of Utica and 137 Anderson Plaza.

Attempted suicide in progress.

Two, two, one, three.

What's going on?

The Arts Council voted. I mean, everyone agrees that this monstrosity has to be

dismantled, but Castro's intractable. Okay, we're going to talk. All right,

bring that in here.

You know you don't want to be up there. We both know you don't want to be up

there. No, it's not you!

All right.

For the executor and also a beneficiary, Mr.

Goldblum? Right so.

Probate wouldn't let him resign.

That's the kind of scrupulous individual you have. Not to waste...

Now,

whoa. Now, just slow down.

Currently serving four -year sentences in the Virgin Islands?

I mean, really, Counselor. You practiced before us.

We busted Maury six months ago.

I'm taking this to tax court.

Whatever you want. We are claiming 50 % income tax plus penalties and interest.

That puts Ms.

Grignoli's $1 .1 million at somewhere around $70 ,000 and hopped to Uncle Sam.

Are you saying, after all this, I'll owe $70 ,000?

Only as executor of the estate.

Personally, no.

How about as the heir? As heir?

You get nothing.

This is their strategy, Lieutenant. This is their divide and conquer.

It's your legal shield.

Correction, that's my 28 % leech.

Close it out now, Mr. Goldblum. Save us all a lot of headaches, and we'll issue

you a check for $50 ,000, free and clear. No way.

We can go to 60, 90, 65, 80.

Okay, 80.

I'll take it. Wait.

Make the deal. Are you crazy?

Can't you bust this guy?

We don't usually pursue the criminal aspects, but... Another glass of the old

vino, eh, Mick? Sure.

Okay? Sure.

Ted. I know, Brent. I'm getting kind of tanked. Come on.

We're having fun. Mick's having fun, aren't you, Mick? Yeah, a lot of fun.

That's good.

I want you to have a good time.

That's great.

Why are you doing this?

Well, see, it's like this, Mick.

Ted and I, we're from the suburbs.

What do we know about life?

Gas mileage.

But you, you've been there.

You've been to the eye.

Yeah, I've been there.

That's right. I'll bet you have.

You've seen it all.

But you had a wife once.

Maybe even a kid.

You ever have a kid, Mick?

Sure. What was his name, Mac?

Joey. Joey, that's great. I'll bet you miss him, huh?

Sometimes.

It'd be great if you could see him again, huh, Mac?

Oh, no, that wouldn't be so great, would it, Mac? Not the way you are now.

What can I say to him?

I don't know, Mac. I never left a kid.

Here, come on, cheer up. Have another glass of wine, huh?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Niagara Falls.

Wouldn't want Joey to see that, would we? You know what I say?

Let's blow this pop stand.

Take a little ride.

Yeah, let's get some air. What do you say, Mick?

We got a special treat for you now.

Come on, guy, cheer up, huh?

You can give me a yes or a no. You moving in there or what?

There's a lot to work out, baby.

We're kidding and everything.

It's a big step. You want my opinion? Nope. My opinion is this whole setup is

perfect for a guy like you.

What's that supposed to mean? It means you love it. You love stepping in, being

responsible, all out of proportion.

You think I've been over my head? Hey, it's not for everybody.

Neil, you're thriving. Since you started getting it on a regular basis, you've

been a dream to work with. Hey, thanks a lot, J .D. Hey, Neil. I think we're

being a little sensitive here. Neil.

J .D.

Don't forget you guys got the walker homicide tonight. Oh, not tonight,

Lieutenant. I can't, man. You got a grand jury Wednesday.

You knew about this?

Oh, man.

I completely forgot.

Well, the letter's gonna kill me. So big deal. Tell her you'll make it up to her

this weekend.

You don't understand.

Her mother's coming to dinner tonight.

Her mother? Her mother. You know, maybe working tonight's not the worst thing in

the world. It's been my experience. I gotta get up and explain it to her.

Are you kidding?

The telephone was invented for situations like this. Use it. I'm taking

cover from you, all right?

Your Honor, the state's without a complainant on the robbery, and for the

resisting, as you can see, if you compare the extent of Mr. Morrison's

he looks like he's been through a buzzsaw, whereas Lieutenant Bunce is

complaining about a toothache.

Counsel, approach.

Erwin, are you a man in a foul temper because of dental miseries?

Defendant's sheets have been from the fire, Your Honor. It shows 11 priors.

hell is this?

What's going on here? Tell this creep to stay away from me, huh? Legal Aid

Society, Your Honor. On behalf of the PD's office, we're serving Lieutenant

Bunce with a civil suit, 100 ,000 unspecified damages, 400 ,000 against

city. You've got to be off your nut.

Geez, rat face, I'd love it. You heard it, we're going to bury you. That's

enough, Mr. Morrison.

People, can we settle this with the disorderly? Here, we confer, Your Honor.

No way. They're bluffing. I know they are. But it's going to take a lawyer

my office 30 man hours to sort it out. So what are you saying?

We go with it.

Don't I got anything to say? No.

People. Acceptable, Your Honor. Reduced to disorderly conduct. We'll plead to

that. We accepted.

Recent time served arraignment waived.

Bailiff, next case.

Docket number three, 107, 103, Carmelo Gomez, vagrancy.

So when do you figure I can get my hands on the money?

Mr. Morrison, I've explained all of that to you already five times.

You get nothing. The move is strategic.

What's wrong? You don't think you get half?

Half of zero is zero, Mr. Morrison. You understand?

Hey, look who it is, the hero himself. I'll be looking for you, Ace.

My client's been cleared on all charges. Steer clear of him, or we'll be after

you on harassment.

Hey, no problem. That's right, hero. I'm a free citizen now.

You never know, Wendell.

Real ugly tie buns.

Loser's tie.

Neil, what are you doing here?

Hey, baby, how you doing?

I stopped by the restaurant.

They told me you left early.

Yeah, I know it sounds silly, but I got so nervous about this evening.

I couldn't stay around there any longer.

I came over and set my own table.

Do you like it?

Oh, yeah, it looks beautiful.

I'm glad you like it.

And I'm glad you stopped by. You know, you do terrible things to me. Hey, look,

baby, I came by to tell you that. I know.

Hey, hey.

No, don't even talk. Don't even talk. Just come here. Come here, baby.

You made any headway at all yet?

Man, he's messed these wires all up.

If I could get over into the base of that statue, I think I could unscramble

Yeah, what's keeping you? Hey, he might blast me with that hose.

I got out of the sewage business ten years ago. It's just a little bit of

It's not going to kill you.

Hey,

I'm putting in for hazard pay on this.

Mr. Castro, don't go that diplomacy route, Jack, because I ain't moving and

neither is Kataz. We're here for all eternity.

Look, I've been talking to Mr. Dunn here, and he thinks we can work this

out. You just come down.

After all you've been through, I don't guess anything looks beautiful anymore.

All the people you've hurt.

Pain.

Some people's lives are just endless pain.

But it doesn't have to be that way, Nick.

Look at the sky.

One step and you're outside it.

No more hustling. No more guilt.

You see, Nick, we have so much we want to share something.

We helped Larry do it.

Just like we want to help you.

Okay, let go of me then. I want to do this myself.

It's cold.

Police! Freeze!

Your punks are under arrest.

Hey, take it easy, man.

You slimebags.

You wanted to get me drunk, right? Well, you got it. I'm real drunk.

You can't do this. You got to take us in.

I don't think so.

I think if I take you in, you'll hire some hotshot lawyer, then both of you

walk. And that's just not going to cut it.

You want us to confess?

We'll confess, okay? Larry was with us, okay?

This isn't about confessing.

Turn around, both of you.

Move! What are you going to do?

You can't do this, man. You're a cop.

Take your coats and shoes off.

See down there?

That's Fulton Street.

My old man was a tailor down there all his life.

Crummy little shop.

Never had two dimes, but he was a man because he had a heart.

And you two pieces of garbage have everything, but that isn't enough, is

Take your shoes off.

Take your shoes off!

I didn't want to.

I never wanted to. He made me.

Lie down on your stomachs.

Move!

Stick your head over the edge.

Put your hands behind your back, your butt.

Oh, boy, that was wonderful.

Oh,

didn't I please you?

Yeah, of course you did, baby.

Neil, what's wrong?

Hey, look, baby, I got to tell you something.

I can't make dinner tonight.

You what?

Hey, look, I'm sorry, really. I just put night duty on a homicide.

You knew all day.

You knew it this morning, didn't you? Hey, I'm sorry, honey, really.

slipped my mind. Now, you know I want to be here.

You think you can just smooth things over, don't you? Neil, you're a loser.

Come in here any time you want to, make love to me, and then walk out? Oh, come

on, baby, you know that's not true. I told you two weeks ago I'd move in, but

you got nervous. Yeah, I got nervous, because who can depend on you?

Neil?

Either you come to dinner tonight or we're through. I mean, I can't live like

this. Hey, look, baby, I already told you there's nothing I can do.

Now, I tried to get out of it, but I can't.

Using me like this.

I hate it.

I hate it. I hate it, Neil, and I hate you for it.

Look, I tried to tell you, but you didn't give me a damn.

Oh, wait!

He's in surgery now. He's going to be okay, though, right? He was shot at

range, J .D. He's lost a lot of blood. Anything?

We should have something soon. Damn doctors, man. He better be all right.

enough, J .D. What about that kid? Have they found him yet?

Not yet, J .D. This is nuts.

We've been through a thousand scrapes together.

He gets it from Kenny.

I told him, use the phone.

No, no, I'm not a member of the immediate family.

I work with him.

I want to talk to Dr. Voss, please. And if he's not available... Would you page

Captain Farrella or Lieutenant Goldboom for me again, please?

No, no, no, hold.

The injury's taken forever.

I think that such wickedness should come from a child.

When we cherish such sentimental notions about them, when in reality they are

often mere Hobbesian savages capable of stunning, stunning cruelty. You got it.

Kids are up for anything these days.

Wait a minute. You know, I don't think we have all the facts on the table here

yet. We don't really know what went on in that house.

Come on, Luce. Next thing you're going to say was Neal's fault that he got

Don't simplify what I'm saying.

Is there anything, Stan? Not yet. They got me on the news, actually.

Now, Lieutenant Bunce, we have a robbery at 114th and Fulton.

Officer Purnell said you'd want to be notified the perp was wearing a

that said, May Palm Dead.

Got it.

Let me know about Washington. Right, Lieutenant. It's right here somewhere.

it is.

All right, come on. Just hang in there, all right?

Mr. J .D.

He's out of surgery. He's going to make it. All right. All right, Neil. I told

you the guy was tough. I told you he was tough.

All right. Yeah, move.

Look. Move.

What do you got?

Looks like your guy, Lieutenant.

They found Danny. That's it.

Nobody see which way he went. He said he headed east on Clinton. I'm heading

east on Clinton. That germ's mine.

Bro, come on. Go.

A lot of experience.

Renko, I'm just trying to understand what you said. That's all. Now, you said

that she told you you had to count backwards and then look at some swinging

pendulum, right? Crystal, right.

Well, I'm no expert, pal, but it sounds like you were hypnotized. Bobby, I tell

you, I had my wits about me at all times. First, I saw myself as a

ancient Rome, and then as a foot soldier marching to the Crusades, and I see

myself as a cavalryman with George Armstrong Custer. It's obvious.

Rinko, you are the eternal foot soldier.

Every time you are reborn, you're a grunt.

Oh, Lord. That must mean I'm meant to be working as a cop for all eternity.

I guess you're right.

Hey, but don't feel bad.

I mean, maybe in the next life you'll get yourself a battered up old rocket

trying to catch muggers and rapists somewhere out in outer space.

That's terrible.

You got to work.

Bobby, look here. Look here.

Stop here.

I've been practicing.

Open the cash drawer. Move it!

Rando, police!

You don't look so tough now, huh, kid?

Looks like a clean shoot, Captain. Knight Burke said the guy had his piece

Gave the lieutenant no choice.

Thank you.

Let's go.

What were you doing here tonight?

Well, how about this? I went inside for an ice. I don't want crap. I want

answers. What were you doing here?

I got a tip.

When I got there, the guy was already inside casing the joint. Why didn't you

try to arrest him before he pulled his gun? Hey, what is this, deja vu, huh? I

thought we already went through all that this morning.

But this time you'd have the candy store owner as a complainant.

Funny thing.

Anybody a napalm daddy visited gets a second case of lockjaw.

I told him he was under arrest. He didn't want to go that way. Ask the kid

didn't turn his piece on me. Let's try another version. You lost in court, you

played out a personal vendetta, and you executed him.

It's a nice story. Try and sell it.

IED's gonna clear me. Maybe, but you're not clear with me.

I can live with it.

Oh, hey, man.

What's going on?

I was just here seeing a friend. I thought I'd drop by. Yeah?

Almost dropped by this afternoon, huh?

Guess you saved my butt.

Yeah, no problem.

I'm sorry about spraying you with that water, man.

Did I get busted for that?

No, we're gonna let it slide.

So, uh, what is this?

Oh, this is a new one.

Ain't she a beaut?

Can I be frank?

I expect nothing else.

Well, to be perfectly honest, I think it looks like a phallic symbol.

You got a high five after all, man.

All right, um, you take care, Bobby.

I'll see you at my next opening?

Maybe.

Yeah?

J .D., that you?

No, man, it's Florence Nightingale.

You found Kenny, right?

Yeah, yeah, he was on a playground shooting baskets.

Shooting baskets?

Yeah. The kid's in juvie tonight.

Isn't that a winner?

Yeah, she was.

Maybe she still is.

You know...

The whole time I was out there in that car with Kenny today, I was thinking of

myself as a kid.

When I was young, I could play some ball.

Man, I lived for that car.

All day in school, I'd just think about it.

When it got dark,

I'd find me another basket in the street. I never wanted to go home. Oh,

Peter.

drunk, cursing me.

As long as I could keep shooting baskets, I was all right.

I was all right.

Just keeps going around, don't it?

One celebration after another.

Just keeps going around.

J .D., J .D., you there, man?

Yeah, man, yeah. I'm here, man.

Shh, shh. Go on back to sleep.

Go on.
