Russia, right? Here, a warrant. They got these in Russia?

A man's in his home, in his own bed with a lady. All of a sudden there's police.

No explanation. The explanation is your fence and stolen property. As in a

certain ice at Framer Brothers Appliance Warehouse. You see any stolen property?

What I see is you're also a shy and a small -time one. A couple hundred here,

half a grand there.

All right, all right. So I'm a small businessman. So why the KGP in the

of the night?

Who said it?

You're under arrest, comrade.

Item eight, people. Listen up. W -T -T -Y -A -M, once the only spot on your

for traditional jazz, has finally succumbed to the public's appetite for

vulgarity and changed its format. Something that would not necessarily

us except the station inaugurates its new programming today by sponsoring an

outrageous axe contest.

The station will pay $2 ,500 to the person or persons who commits the most

outrageous act by 6 o 'clock tonight. People, please know that a full spectrum

of misdemeanors will undoubtedly be performed in public today. And to avoid

complete breakdown of our own... Already overcrowded courts and holding

facilities, I urge you to exercise zen -like patience as well as wisdom of the

Hebroid King Solomon in your decisions to arrest.

Hey, Lieutenant, any restrictions on who could enter?

Outrageous acts, not sex acts, Detective.

Same thing to him.

All right, Item 9. As you are aware, our neighbors to the east... have sent us

yet another strain of Asian flu, further depleting our already undermanned

garrison. As a result, the following assigns and reassigns Parker rides with

Adams, Rowe with McKenna, Russo with Martin, and Sergeant Bates will once

ride with Officer Fleury. And when's Belker coming back?

He's been out of the hospital for over two weeks.

Well, as I understand, he will know more after he sees the doctor today.

After months of delay, we finally received delivery of the first state -of

-art, completely computerized squad car, which will be driven by our squad car

lottery winners, officers Andrew J. Renko and Robert Hill.

20 bucks.

I got 20 bucks. There's a certain cowboy who's going to get bucked by that big

brother.

All right, gentlemen, one other note here. Teldar Industries has sent a

representative, Mr.

Bob.

Asahina. That's his name.

He used to laze on with you and answer your questions. You can ask his

pronunciation of it. All right, if you have no questions of me, ladies and

gentlemen, this is it.

Hey, Sarge, let's be upfront about this. You don't have any problems riding with

me, do you?

Not that I can't handle it.

Come on down from there.

You, sir.

What the hell is going on?

We've tried everything, Lieutenant.

Those are weather balloons. We'll be up in the clouds in a few minutes.

Hey, you, come on, fly boy, let's go. You're creating a public nuisance here.

Come on down.

Not till I win the prize. Come on, hey.

Not till I win the prize.

Hey, listen, Captain Kirk, I said land it. Come on. Call the radio station and

get them out here. I don't have all day to be messing with you, all right? Now

I'm going to add resisting arrest.

You're going to catch me first.

You wouldn't. Not the balloons. This is your last chance.

Are you going to come down?

Uh -uh.

Oh, Howard.

We should have a permanent roll call, Sergeant, next week. Thanks for doing

double duty. Oh, no problem. I'll miss sending the men out in the morning.

A scent of camaraderie and male bondingness in the air. Female, too. Do

a candidate in mind? Sergeant Jenkins.

Oh, from the night before. Excuse me, Captain. He's a good man. Sorry, a half

hour late. It's going to be some great super cop mobile.

Do you think we can stop by the market when we're out? I just got something

for Daryl.

Yeah, it's going pretty well last night, huh? No.

I did exactly what I said I wasn't going to do. I was crawling like a baby. I

figured it's better to fight and steer than not steer at all.

What's in the box?

Officer Hill. Officer Renko.

Sorry about the delay, fellas.

I stopped for gas and had a little trouble with the shutdown command

Shutdown command sequence?

It's pretty easy once you learn.

You've got to remember to enter.

Enter. It's all in here.

Wait till you see it. State of the art. Its computer is not only tied in

downtown, so you can run a plate or a rap sheet, but it also keeps track of

officer's activity.

Everything from time to time. Wait a minute. You mean this thing checks our

performance and also records things like how long we stay for coffee?

He's getting out.

They gave him no warning. Tracy's arm hasn't even healed.

He's supposed to be in that hospital for six weeks. It hasn't even been three.

Darius appealed the commitment.

Social worker called, said he's getting out by this afternoon.

Captain, this is Mrs. Milton and Tracy.

You remember Darius Milton?

Put her arm in the door and slam it. He's asking for early release.

There's a hearing today at the psychiatric court.

It's not right.

That boy is sick.

Can't anybody do anything?

J .D. and I would like to be there, Captain.

If you have time.

How you doing this school?

Keeping up like you promised?

They're going to let my brother out.

Hey, don't you worry about a thing, sweetheart, okay?

Come on, let's go.

Darius Milton?

Darius, now let me see.

He's sitting over there against the wall right there. See him?

Darius, I'm Joyce Davenport. I'm covering for Mr. Borgen. I'm not sick.

Well, you're lucky. Almost everyone I know has got a touch.

I mean, I take my medicine.

I take my medicine and I'm just like other people. I'm on top of this.

From your doctor's statements, I'd say today was just a formality.

They don't want me home.

That's fine.

I get my SSI check and I got a line on a job.

I've been thinking about...

Teaching or electronics, maybe. I got a place.

1601 Jefferson.

A room.

I take my medicine.

I get rest, like they say.

And I'll be like other people.

I'm sure there'll be no problem.

Thanks, Scott. You're here. There's a guy comes in. Where?

My doctor.

There is a customer in there.

A woman who wanted absinthe salt. And my stop by.

That's my wife. That's my wife. Hold on. Hold on.

Darius Milton still suffers from such a delusion, I can only say that anti

-psychotics are the key. But isn't a paranoid schizophrenic like Darius

capable of violent behavior?

Best guess, not if he stays on his medicine.

You see, I told you, if I take my medicine, I'm just like them. But the

don't take his medicine.

Mrs. Milton, what leads you to believe your son won't?

Because I know him.

I'm his mother.

Don't you think his behavior could have changed?

Dr. Singleton testified he's demonstrated a willingness to maintain a

I'd like to call the arresting officer, Detective Washington. Objection, Your

Honor. Defense questions the relevancy of Detective Washington's testimony,

since we are not attempting to deny the proven circumstances of the arrest.

May I say something, Your Honor? That's the question, Your Honor.

Is what Detective Washington has to say permissible here? I saw what Darius

Milton did, Your Honor. Your Honor,

past criminal behavior is not our concern.

Nor are we here to establish the degree of sanity.

I'm sorry about what happened.

Well, I did, but I was crazy when I did that.

Are you finished questioning Dr. Singleton, Mr. Gittins?

There are only three points on which we need past judgment.

Is Darius Milton a threat to himself or to others, or is he gravely disabled?

Expert, uncontradicted testimony asserts he is not.

Court grants the patient appeal for early release. Is my boy going to have

kill somebody first? Is that what it's going to take?

Don't come around us. You leave us alone, please.

Didn't know psychiatric was on your beat, Miss Davenport. I'm just filling

detective.

Another victory for the court system.

As long as it takes. We need reinforcements, Henry. Additional eaters

perimeter. Support for the entry team. Getting a little ahead of ourselves,

aren't we, Howard? In fairness, Lieutenant, if we have to send a team

anticipate an access problem.

The only way in or out is the front door.

There's no service entrance, no loading dock, no roof access, nothing.

In the back, the rear is sealed off with a quarter -inch of metal plate. You

know, this poor man has been burglarized so many times that he practically has

to weld himself in.

Got it.

Of course, there's always tear gas.

Getting one of the hostages is pregnant, Howard.

Have Milliken move that blue team to the left.

Listen to me.

Milliken transferred three months ago, sir. That's Dodd now.

Oh, I meant Dodd.

Miss Ross, let's get out of the way. Come on.

When are you guys going to store the place? What are you waiting for? Hey!

Of course I'm lying.

Thank you.

Coffee?

All right, sir. You know, we're doing all we can. It's going to be okay. Hey,

don't touch me, man.

Please. Why don't you just go?

Why don't all you cops just leave, man?

And then he'll split.

He'll let my wife go.

I want to kill a hostage if the cops don't back off.

What I'm saying, I want every cop gone.

Those are the words of a man in a gun store. You just called the radio station

couple of minutes ago.

How could he? The line keeps ringing in there.

Check with the owner. See if he's got two lines.

Hey, hey, hey.

Don't be too long, Andy. You know, this machine might tell the teacher on us.

I'm in the car.

I'm still in this car.

Now,

why is it doing that?

Lemon, that's what it is. Welcome to the computer age. I don't care.

Go back and ask her again. We're going to try to explain it.

No, no, no, no, no. If she don't care about me and I... I told you, Rinko, she

probably would never even have heard what you said.

What is the call letters of this car?

2403.

2403 in response.

I don't understand this vehicle, and I don't understand her.

What you are doing is perfectly natural.

You two ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

Naked in a public park, going at it like two rabbits.

Repressed. Definitely repressed.

Are you familiar with the work of Dr. Wilhelm Reich? We believe that all the

world should form a huge daisy chain of love. Raymond, book these two for lewd

conduct in public.

I'll try to rustle up some clothes for them.

Excuse me.

How often do you two... Twice a day, at least. What goes on between a husband

and wife should not be subject to totalitarian interference from police.

You two are going to win. Win?

Win what?

The outrageous axe contest, you got it nailed. We have not committed any

outrageous acts. We are pumping up the orgones, renewing the seed.

You stay just like you are.

It looks as though Nippler's action was a small part of the Primer Brothers'

heist. He'll lead us to his senior partners if we let him walk. He wants

deal? I talked to the DA. He says to go for it.

It was a good bust, Norm.

Okay, Captain.

I'll be down here as soon as I can. Good, thanks, Lister. Take over the

desk, will you?

I'll do it.

W -T -T -Y?

Great, listen, you can put a lid on the contest right now because I got your

winner right here.

Mr. and Mrs.

Nathan and Leona Schechter, two beautiful senior citizens.

Now, we're not just talking about outrageous acts here. We're talking

human interest.

No, no, no, I'm not Mr. Schechter.

I'm his nephew. Yeah, I'm short of their sponsor. Detective Washington.

Jerry has just forced his way into our apartment. My boy don't respect

Did he touch you? Did he hit Tracy?

Scared me.

I was gone maybe 10, 15 minutes to get some butter. He asked where's mama. Am I

going to have to protect me and my baby, or are you going to do something?

Whatever else is breaking and entering, baby.

Brandon, can you get someone to take a formal statement?

Did someone squeal on us? What? I heard somebody squeal on us. You heard

somebody squeal?

Not yet, they didn't, madam. They're gonna squeal.

Now.

Let's just see if the thing works, okay? Which car do you want to do?

Yes, here.

Four, five, nine, KO.

While I'm doing this right, I could have sworn the sedan was wanted for about 20

traffic tickets. Oh, great. Of course, it's out of the question that this

remarkable machine could be in here. Bobby, wait, just wait.

While we're here in traffic violations, let me just see if I can punch up Daryl

Ann. No.

Daryl Ann Rinko, okay? She's a cop's wife. She says the only advantage, she

if you're a cop's wife, why can't you fix some traffic tickets, okay? Let me

just try. The machine owes me and Daryl Ann something here.

If I could just figure out how this thing works.

T -R - That's it.

Screen went dead.

And you

know what? I swear, it drives better than it looks. That's the unbelievable

part. The unbelievable part is it drives it off.

What are you talking about? The hole in the floor?

$1 .50 worth of plywood, Norm. You gotta expect those things.

Watch your ears.

I don't have to ask where you got the money to buy this chrome donkey.

I see you're down in Niffler's accounts receivable book for a grand.

Okay, when did I say I wasn't into this guy for money? All I said is that he was

a big mover in the warehouse job. Mover, yes. Big, no.

Right, but the main thing is the tip was good, no?

So speaking of accounts receivable, we are talking very small time here,

All right. You're lucky the guy had something to sell.

What are you saying? I'm saying he dealt us his rabbis.

What, and you put Nippler back out on the street, that criminal?

You guys call yourselves protectors of the peace? Oh, right. This town's not

safe so long as Nippler's out there moving hot toaster ovens, huh? Wait a

minute. Tough break, huh? See, now you're going to have to pay your debts.

on. Oh, I'm listening.

Wait a minute. I'm in trouble.

Sell the car. Pay him back. It's not that simple. Can we talk?

I caught a deal with Nippler.

There's a guy who's into him deeper than me.

And? And I said that I would be his bone crusher.

He'd wipe my slate clean.

You collect them for a shack?

Yeah, strictly on a one -time basis. Listen, when I heard that Nippler was in

the warehouse job... You sold them to me. Because you figured Nippler would be

away making little stones out of big stones for a long time, right?

The tricks life plays on us, huh, Sid?

I'll see you around.

Wait, Norm, come on. You gotta help me. I told you. Sell the car. Pay him back.

What are you talking about? Sell a dream?

A lifelong ambition?

Ever since 88 Street when Mickey Kurtz pulled up in front of us kids? This is

it! Sid!

Sell the car!

Huh? All right. My destiny is clear.

I have got to do the manly thing!

He thought he'd win the contest.

It was a coincidence, man.

He got what he wanted. Got on the air.

Webster, what's the word on the reinforcements?

It's a traffic jam on Decker.

And they're at 104th. And every light on the street is all screwed up.

Shoot us 50 blocks. Well, tell them to get their tails out of that van and hoof

it. Where's Mark?

You was gonna name it Matthew?

So you know it's gonna be a boy?

Yeah.

Yeah. Did you have that test? What do you call it?

Test?

What test, man? I just know.

Something's happened to them, man. You can forget about it.

Because that sucker's dead.

Patrick.

We have an idea, Mr. Dahlgren. Maybe a way we can break this deadlock. If you

went to the precinct with Officer Flaherty, you could look at some photos

us. Maybe spot the man who's in there. And leave my store? No way.

It might work.

If we knew who he was, we could get family down here. Something.

Sure, sure.

Then you end your thinking, people are swarming all over my store, my

merchandise, and I'm not even here. I'll take responsibility for your store.

Okay.

All right, come on.

How much money did you have?

$123. I was just counting it. He comes in, he didn't see me. I hit the alarm

ran.

What about $100?

break down the door. Tracy said that because she's angry about what I did

was crazy.

Did you touch her? No. Did you threaten her? No.

Did you say or do anything Tracy might have thought was a threat? I just wanted

to come home.

Tracy says you screamed at her. I was angry.

Do you know what my mama did?

She threw out all my clothes.

my clothes.

Lucy, have we given downtown a count of the units working the traffic jam?

Uh, I just did that. I just got off the phone, Captain. Why isn't Ann holding?

Well, it's a she, and Raymond had an idea.

Couldn't we keep her as a mascot, Captain? They're cleaner than dogs and

more intelligent. No.

Sorry. Call animal control.

They're on their way, sir.

Well, we need to move.

Back to the cell for you.

We need to prove he's a bear.

God.

Charles, has the guy that hit Dahlgren? Yeah.

He's on parole.

Armed robbery five years ago, he did three.

Thing is, since then, he's been clean. You know, he loses today, he hits the

guy. If I were him, I might have done the same thing.

Yeah, so?

Well, I just get the feeling our friend Dahlgren's going to press charges.

Patrick, you hit him. Yeah, but you know what I'm saying.

Yeah, you're saying, can we kick him?

And I'm saying, if Dahlgren wants to press charges, there's nothing we can do

about it.

light duty worker, too.

Welcome back. We didn't expect you so soon. Well, to tell you the truth,

Captain, it's only a very short visit. I've got to sign some disability stuff,

you know, catch up filing for my sick leave.

Did you drive here?

No, Robin dropped me off. Stan's going to pick me up later. Oh, is he,

Fine, fine.

He's fine.

I'm fine.

Dr. Bowker.

Wonderful to see you well. Thank you.

Excuse me, please.

Look.

I've got some problems with what your men did to Darius Milton.

My understanding, he was arrested for breaking in.

Neil, J .D., my office.

Detectives in a room in Washington took the word of a 12 -year -old girl who had

reason to hate her brother.

There were no signs of forced entry at the apartment. Nobody got hurt.

Is that right?

More or less. We can't hold it.

I'd like assurances you won't be further harassed.

I don't know if Mr. Milton is sane or not.

But I do know you can't arrest somebody because you think they're mentally

unstable. What about his mother?

She and Tracy need protection.

If you want to put in for pass -bys, I'll approve.

Pass -bys. Hey, keep it packed in. Hey, look.

Personal time, D .D.

No problems, Dad.

Don't worry. I got plenty to keep me busy. I'll see you when you get here.

It gets to you after a while. We appreciate your help. I want you to know

What's going on with my stove?

Nothing new. That's why you're still looking.

You can turn while we talk.

You know, I was thinking maybe you'd like to reconsider pressing charges on

Childers. I mean, temper's got lost out there, you know. You understand that,

the baby?

Was I hit or was I not hit?

Is this a police station?

Are you a cop?

And you want to know if a man is a soldier because he wants to press

Patrick.

Every car radio on the block.

You plan on opening a store? Hey, I just bought these off a dude.

Yeah, did you buy the Slim Jim, too?

That's the guy.

That's him.

The guy in the store. Which is the guy holding the hostages.

Yes, I mean, no. He ain't in the store. He's here.

Get the captain.

the guy was still out there.

There was no robber? He must have left just after your boss ran out. So we're

there for four hours for nothing? Sorry, there was no way we could know.

Where's my Ben?

He's down at the station.

What for?

There was a problem. He got in a fight.

Is he going to jail?

He can't be in jail when the baby's born. Take it to him.

Webster!

Where are the reinforcements? Almost here, sir. Three blocks away.

Judas Christ.

Well, tell him to return to the van double time.

I get a story there's no rabbit in the hat. Hey, Lieutenant, all dressed up and

nowhere to go?

Now, listen, girls,

I want to find out where I can find her. I already told you, we don't know no

Doreen. She don't hang here. Well, then where does she? She's a girl in her 20s.

Watch her right there.

What do you want all the ladies for? You can have the tea.

Fifty bucks, right?

Here. Only...

You've got to tell me where I can find Maureen. I don't know where Maureen is.

You don't know where Maureen is?

Sergeant, you're blushing.

I'm ill, right?

Yeah, it's okay. Everything's okay.

Sure, Sergeant?

Yeah, look, I'm just freelancing for some of the local merchants here, and

trying to push them over a couple of blocks.

Why don't you do us a real favor?

Push them on over to the hill, huh?

Now you tell me where I can find Booker. I don't know, no, don't read. We're

going to give you my 50 bucks back, either the name or where I can find it.

to hell with it.

Darius.

Darius.

Hey, hey, Darius. Why are you hassling me? I'm taking my pills. Yeah, yeah,

yeah, okay, Darius, okay.

Look, I don't want to go back to county.

You don't know what it's like there.

People mess themselves.

You can't sleep at night because of all the screaming and the noises.

There are all those people there, but it's like you're alone.

And they don't want to be out.

I'm not like them. I'm taking my medicine. I'm seeing my doctor. I'm all

Someday I'm going to get married.

Yeah, yeah, okay, Darius, okay. But look, man, look. Just stay away from

mother and your sister, okay? Look, it's all that Tracy's fault.

She's trying to get me, but I'm going to...

Hey,

Norm, I told you I'd do the stand -up thing with a shy.

Sold the car and paid up? No.

I made a deal. I don't go back on my word.

Norm. Norm.

Norm.

I'm giving myself a selection, something my mother taught me. Always use the

right tool for the job.

Sid, you know I'm going to have to confiscate this stuff. Now, come on,

What are you going to do to the guy? So I'll pay him to death? Now get out of

here. Hey, Norm, your attitude surprises me. It shocks me. You know I'm about to

commit a crime. Go. What, go what? Go and commit a crime? Norm, what do you

think I'm doing here? What do you think you're seeing? I'm making a fool of

myself. I don't have time for this, all right?

Okay, Norm, this is on your head. This is one you saw coming.

Neil, how's our friend Darius?

He heard me. The question is, did he understand?

Detective? Yeah, what is it?

They just swept some hookers over Westminster Boulevard. About eight of

Pretty routine.

So?

This turned up.

I ran the number. It's Sergeant Jablonski's.

You told anybody else about this?

No. I thought maybe you'd want to handle it. Yes, I do.

What about the hooker?

Her name is Doreen.

Bought a dozen priors.

Real standard stuff.

You want to talk to her?

No. I got it.

Real standard stuff.

Thank you, Ray.

Right.

Hey, Kid LaRue.

What?

It's Mrs. Milton.

Darius is trying to bash in the door. Mrs. Milton, we'll be right over. Look,

just stay calm, okay? Just stay calm.

Hey, Beth, Beth, talk to her. Don't let her hang up.

This is it for him.

This is it for my bed.

His parole board hears about this and he won't... Please, I haven't had a clue.

Forget about the charges. Just let me go back and see if the store is still

standing, all right? Okay. Thank you. Thank you.

to Washington.

What's going on out here?

Police officers.

Call 911.

Tell them to send an ambulance.

Mrs. Milton, please, open the door.

People are born lucky, J .D. I wonder how they did that. Officer Renko.

Mr. Ashina.

I have reviewed all your operations with the computer during this workday.

For reasons I won't speculate on, you attempted to access the Department of

Motor Vehicles Parking Violations Bureau. No, I did not. But instead

the program for the city's traffic lights.

No. And destroyed the green -red sequence on Decker Avenue. And in doing

caused the worst traffic jam in recent history. The worst traffic jam in recent

history I did? Did you hear that?

I don't know why you're so happy, officer.

You can be sure you'll never get near our cars again.

Neither of you.

Miss Joshina? I don't care.

$4 ,500?

That's fine. Fine. Non -official use of department property. Great.

Maybe we can still clear a few bucks. I get the picture. Of course that is, if

nobody charges me with felony illegal access to the computer. I get the

You found one?

Shoot us, H. That's astounding, compiler.

Of course I...

I will be there as soon as I can get away from here tonight. How far do you

to go with this, Norm? Arrest me? Book me now? You assaulted a man, Sid. Yes,

right. But what sort of man?

A man very capable of protecting himself. Come on. He was five foot one.

didn't weigh anything. You attacked him. Yeah, right. And he almost killed me. I

admit, in self -defense, I'm not saying you should have arrested him, but... Sit

down, huh? Sit.

All right, what's the quid pro quo?

That's all I ask. You and me, Norm, there's always a quid pro quo.

Come on, don't say sell the car.

Sell the car. Norm, it's not that simple.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great machine.

It turns out there's some problems with it. I might not be able to get full

value back on it.

I don't know whether you noticed, but there happens to be a good -sized hole

the floorboard. I noticed.

Sell the car and I kill the bust.

Okay, so I sell the car.

Leave alone, it's a once -in -a -lifetime, dream -come -true, top -of

list, classic automobile lover's fantasy on wheels. I might get $300, 400 tops.

I'm still 600 short to nipple her. How am I better off?

Stay right here.

He was quiet for a while.

Then I could hear him moaning.

Then he...

I got the gun and I shot him.

Mrs. Milton, I'd advise you. Haven't you done enough today?

Now you're going to advise me?

Mrs. Milton, I'll be handling this through Raymond.

After that, another PD will be assigned to you.

Where's my daughter?

She's with Detective Washington.

Can I see her now?

Well, let's finish taking your statement.

First.

What's going to happen to her?

Social workers coming to take her down to the county children's shelter.

Captain, SID's preliminary findings are in.

Excuse me.

Hey, got you an orange.

They didn't have grape.

Orange okay, Tracy?

Thank you.

Sorry, no straws.

What's going to happen to Mama?

She's probably going to have to go on trial.

Does that mean she's going to go to jail?

I don't know, sweetheart.

I hate orange soda. I hate it.

What's wrong?

It's not your wound, is it? No, no.

Doc says I'm coming along.

What it is... You lose this?

Doreen.

You got lucky, Stan.

She was picked up in a sweep before she could sell it, which is probably what

she was gonna do.

I was in a bar.

She came around. You don't have to explain. No, just do me a favor and

It happened.

What can I say?

And afterward, I'm lying there, she grabs my wallet and runs the hell off,

can't even catch her.

20 yards, I'm already puffing.

Never felt so old, Nick.

I'm responsible for this badge, wherever it shows up. If you're going to file a

report... It never happened.

I'm not going to have you in a soup on account of me.

The girl isn't exactly going to complain because her stolen badge is missing.

All right.

All right.

Okay.

That, uh... That policewoman you married.

Yeah? She never gave up.

You're lying there. You got a hole in you. She doesn't give up for a minute.

She's not supposed to... No, no, no, no, no. Listen to what I'm saying.

You don't take her for granted.

You take care of yourself.

You understand?

No.

So you can be with her, Mick.

For as long as you got.

As long as you're together.

Oh, Norm.

I'm blown away.

I am overcome with emotion.

You know, in my entire life... You're working free for the next six months,

Hey, wait a minute, Norm. Don't bother thanking me. No, listen, I'm just

figuring. Now, let's be honest, Norm.

Fifty dollars a tip. Say, what, three tips a week for six months? That's a lot

more than this. That's the deal, Sid, or you're busted and you're still into the

shy life.

Well?

Well, what?

Now we gotta pretend you're giving me a choice?

The gunshot residue test on your hand turned out negative.

Tracy's fingerprints are on that gun, Mrs. Milton. Tell us what really

Tracy knew where the gun was.

I didn't even know she had it.

one child. I can't lose another.

Please.

I just came by to see the baby, okay? And after I see the baby, then I will

okay?

You won't wake her?

No.

And I brought back the keys because I figured the way things are going between

you and I, I got no use for them.

Okay.

Go see her if that's what you came to do.

Your daddy loves you, baby.

You said you wouldn't wake her.

Did you tell the preschool about us?

I had to.

They want to know when there's something wrong at home.

I know about your pride and everything, but I had to tell them.

I didn't say nothing.

You know, Laura keeps asking for her daddy.

Yeah? What do you tell him?

That he's working.

Daryl Ann, I got something I got to say to you.

No way, Andy.

You came to see your daughter. We got no talking to do. Daryl Ann, listen to me.

I don't want to see you, and I don't want anything from you.

Daryl Ann, I cannot live unless I have you.

That thing with Ellis, that don't mean nothing.

It don't mean nothing if I don't have you.

Daryl Ann.

I don't know.

I think, I think I know, but I don't know.

But I can stay.

I said I don't know.

But you didn't say no.

No idea what I'm feeling.

Isn't that strange?

Where you been?

Had to pick up Darryl's stuff from the Rother Hotel.

Mother wanted them.

What for?

He was her son, J .D.

You all right now?

No.

Not on this one.

I see all types of people.

I see the way things go bad for them.

Then you meet one little person who gets under your skin.

Tracy.

Tears you out.

Drew and I, of course, can understand where that girl is coming from.

The Bible says man is born to trouble.

That's the Fox Bible.

Amen.

We didn't make the world.

I'm not staying.

I got this place for a song, Howard.

I've been doing the renovation myself.

Weekends.

So, I figure when it's finished and I sell it, I'll probably double my money.

There's that pride of working with your own hands.

Yankee ingenuity and pioneer know -how.

See these beams?

There's not a single nail. Oh, pegs.

I learned that from that book you lent me. Early American Carpenter and the

of the Melting Pot.

That's a classic patriotic analysis.

When I started the renovating, I'd heard a rumor that the house was built on an

old Indian burial ground. Then, when I dug up this concrete, you could see the

end of a bone.

It could be Iroquois, Bill.

Yeah, look, there's a tool or a set of ceremonial objects sticking out from

under the skull there.

Have you got a shovel?

Maybe we should let the museum people do this, Howard.
