All language subtitles for Hill Street Blues s07e21 A Pound of Flesh

They've come, Bill.

They're here.

Thank you, my friend.

I'll never forget what you did for me.

Oh, my God.

A pair of patrolmen from the Heights
found the car totally stripped.

Being good cops, they checked the engine
block, found a serial number. Turned

out to be Lieutenant Hunter's vehicle.

Various search revealed the cabin and
the rescue work began immediately.

What was he doing down there?

Some sort of Indian burial ground under
his friend's house. I don't know. They

were excavating or something. What can
we see him, Sarge? They got limited

visiting hours. Sorry, Lieutenant. The
hospital says he came through with

colors. All right.

Always knew Lieutenant was made of
strong stuff.

Eleven days in the dark with a moldy
corpse next to you. Okay, enough of the

good news, huh?

Item six, guys. Two more gang stabbings
last night. Lieutenant Goldblum's got

some additional information.

Hey, Lieutenant.

Nice work here.

That's right, Lieutenant.

I understand you're a published author
now.

It's just a short story in a Sunday
supplement part of a book I'm trying to

write.

People, the recent increase... Oh, give
it up, Renko. There's a couple of two

-syllable words in there. ...clubs.

Enrique Solis of the Gypsy Boys is going
to marry Lola Martinez, who's

associated with the Diablos. Is that
Jesus Martinez's sister?

Yeah. The big fear is that this signals
a coalition between the two gangs

expressly forbidden by treaty.

The Diablos and the Gypsy Boys both have
ample access to the waterfront.

If the Gypsy Boys and the Diablos unite,
Shamrocks can kiss the water goodbye.

Meaning they get cut out of the drug
traffic and everything else that goes

on the docks.

Yeah. Now, a treaty disruption of this
magnitude will affect all the gangs in

the area. We've got to keep a lid on the
situation.

Special patrol assignments on the duty
board.

Everybody, heads up for gang activity
today.

Okay, you all got that right.
Assignment?

LaRue and Washington, you're on the
Harold White bus, backed up by Myers and

Rowe. About time we nailed that creep,
huh?

Due in court this afternoon, we got
Ranko Hill and Lieutenant Bunce.

Okay, guys, last item. One sec.

After three days of men and women
sharing the same job, today should

mark the grand reopening of separate
facilities.

We don't mind riding with you guys, but
thank God we don't have to shave with

you anymore.

Andy, get out of here!

I am shocked that you would put your
signature on this piece of junk here.

What's the problem, Andy?

Andy isn't how you call me, Andy, out
here in public. While in this so -called

piece of fiction published for all the
world to see, I am called Country Wingo,

a fat cop.

whose fondness for donuts had all but
completely eroded his footstool. What do

you mean by that? Is that supposed to be
funny?

Meant to be mildly humorous. At my
expense?

Wingo's not you.

Bull! How am I ever going to live this
down?

Just the man I want to see.

Busy, Sid. We've got to talk, Norman. A
detective from the Heights has put in a

bid for my services at $75 per unit.
Forget it, Sid. I'm not jacking my

all right? I'm over -vouched on you as
it is. Who's talking about jacking up?

Maybe I'm going to greener pastures. You
snitch with this guy already?

Yeah, sure, but it was day old. You got
it first.

Who is this crazy?

What's that matter?

Come here, bean brain. Ow!

Ow! Ow! Come on, Norman!

It's Benedict from the Pole!

Ow!

Don't pull on my hair.

Shut up. Shut up. I mean, I'm in a
situation here, all right?

I'm happy with you, but happiness
doesn't pay the rent. Is that right?

Well, you still got some boxes at my
place, Sid. I want them out today.

Wait, wait, wait. No counteroffer?

Sid, what can I do?

When you're hot, you're hot. No, I'm
negotiate.

You got tremendous goodwill with me.

You got too big for me, Sid. Oh, come
on, Norm. I'm not asking for much. I

you should see my TV.

Everything's green.

Well, talk to your buddy, uh, Benedict,
huh?

I don't want to go my whole life without
wireless remote.

Excuse me, Sergeant Altman.

Hey.

Hey, I thought the ladies' room was
going to re -open.

Come on, Blondie, I'm a craftsman. Yeah,
paid by the hour.

You're going to love it when I'm done.

If I live that long.

Oh, Mona Lisa.

With legs.

Oh, Frank.

You don't have to be too much just to
wait. I've seen you since we moved down

the hall, so you don't mention it. It
cuts you straight between us, Frankie.

I didn't know we were invited.

You didn't get an invite?

Not that I know of.

I mean, what's the use of having a
secretary? Frankie, you gotta come. I

out two Gs for this reception.

Listen, word is that the Gypsy Boys and
Diablos are united.

Oh, Frankie, take your toe off the gas.
I'm retired from Diablos Club, huh? I

get enough dog -eat -dog in this
paralegal field.

And I've got two gang -related
stabbings, one victim critical.

Frankie, kids need an excuse for some
headbashing. All I know is my beautiful

little sister's going to the Chapel of
Love.

Remember that, too?

Jesus.

You still have influence. Talk to the
shamrocks.

Make it clear that this wedding is a
private matter.

I'll see what I can do. So what do I
tell Juanita about you, Mrs. Frey? We'll

try.

Outstanding. Marty, 78 lanes and
Billiard Emporium. 10 p .m. 7 o 'clock,

I almost forgot.

Lola Scott, the silver pattern pick from
Paco's Appliance Kingdom.

Number 31, Princes of Egypt.

Kids today, Frankie. All the folks got a
math, huh?

Captain, once you're shipping.

Why wasn't I informed earlier?

Chief decision, not IAD's. Wants to keep
this bottled up till we're sure. And

now you're sure?

End of the day, we should be.

Chief, why don't you board up to speed?
The captain has to stay confidential

until formal charges are brought.

What's happening?

You know the background.

September, Lieutenant Bunce recovered a
suitcase containing 80 pounds of

cocaine. Five months later, it became
relevant evidence.

U .S. versus Manchester conspiracy to
distribute.

Cocaine was audited March 9th, day
before the hearing, and found intact.

But next day, defense counsel requested
independent lab analysis.

Turned out Aquila was missing, street
value 20 ,000. What makes you so sure it

was Bunce?

What about the property cage custodian,
lab technicians?

All kinds of people had access.

And we've been over them.

Bank records, polygraphs, all check out.

The only possible break in the chain of
evidence is Bunce. Have you talked to

him? Chief thought he might run, wants
us to build the case first.

I can't buy it.

Bunce is too smart to pull something
like that.

There's more, Captain.

I can't talk about it yet.

Sorry.

Keep me informed.

Will do.

Okay, we got it. I'll budget before we
go in.

You've been after this guy a while, huh?

You could say that.

You know, I've been thinking about going
for a gold shield myself.

Yeah? Yeah.

Plain clothes.

Got it all over this uniform work.

All right, guys.

Hey,

hey, hey. You okay, baby? You all right?

Never better.

Right as rain.

Oh, yours, partner.

I got to take a load off.

We got a problem, Benedict.

What? You okay, Mike?

He'll call you in a minute. He needs
help with his zipper, all right? No, you

look. One, you don't take another cop's
snitch. Two, you never take my snitch.

Yours? He practically begged me to put
them on. Hey, this is between you and

and what you did stinks.

Look, I talked to Thurston. I mean, he
wanted to make the switch.

He said that you had him working for
nothing.

You're not listening to me, Benedict.
Hey, get lost. Hey, I'm talking to you.

Whatever you want with Thurston, but you
just stay out of my way. All right.

What's it like, you figure, buried
alive?

Green light.

Down in the hole, buddy dies, starts to
rot away.

It's like Tales from the Crypt.

White putrid bones reaching out toward
you. Maybe what saved the lieutenant was

a degree of maturity.

It's a real mental toughness. That's
what he's got.

You're getting shamrocked here.

A muskrat trapped in a hole like that,
he'll chew off his own leg.

Will you stop?

2203, we have a B &E in progress, Dock
Street in Maine.

2203 responding.

Shamrock him.

in there checking out Lola Martinez as
soon as you look at this.

We're going to crucify you, dude.

Yeah? Yeah, you want a war, man? Will
you go?

his pelvis broken with a baseball bat.

What happened to Lola Martinez?

She was late for her wedding rehearsal
this morning. Some diabolos were looking

for her. Say, they swear she was driven
off in a car by a shamrock.

Shamrocks do not have it that way.

Yo, Carrillo, you got to get Lola back,
man. They're going to kill her. I'm

telling you, man, you got to get her
back.

I want to summon all warlords in by one
o 'clock.

I heard what happened. You all right, J
.D.? Fine, Captain.

It was my fault, Captain.

Sounded unavoidable.

He's just a worrywart.

Well, it hadn't been made with my name
on it. Well, I take it this is just the

same. It had to be a traumatic
experience.

It would have been a lot more traumatic
if that gun had gone off.

Grace.

Hello, Frank.

Everything all right?

Oh, pretty good.

As you can see, I didn't take my vows as
a nun, but four months ago I started a

new career.

Field representative.

Richards. Rubber products.

Congratulations. Thank you.

Um, automobile tires?

Pull the lever.

Yes, Frank, condoms.

It's been a while.

I'm here to install our machines in your
restrooms.

You are... Your men are opinion molders,
Frank.

Authority figures who meet hundreds of
people a day. We want them to spread the

word. Back up a minute.

I left the convent because my concept of
love cannot accept vows of chastity.

But when I got out, I found that love
itself is in peril today.

It's the black plague all over again.

You're talking about sexually
transmitted diseases.

Exactly. Fear of human contact is
epidemic.

People are growing afraid of tenderness,
sharing, passion of love itself.

This is the solution.

No, it's not the solution, but it's the
best remedy we have so far. Grace, there

are other ways.

Police stations are only the first step.

We want these dispensers in every city
facility, and from there, who knows?

It's a war, and we don't have a moment
to spare. How much is this going to cost

the department?

Nothing. It's free to law enforcement
because our motto is the same as yours,

protect and serve.

I have the installation order if you'd
like to see it. That won't be necessary.

Thank you, Frank.

It's good to see you again.

I'll send you a complimentary rainbow
packet.

Alkin, in a cup?

I got something, Norm.

Mucho sensitivo.

Maybe worth the bump we talked about.

I can see you're still peeved. I'm going
to give you a minute to cool down.

What are you looking at?

What, you got a problem?

Hey, Norm, if I may say so, I really
think you're overreacting. I mean, look,

I'm a businessman.

I'm just trying to bring you in line
with a certain economic reality.

Maybe I did push a little hard this
morning. I can see that. I'm big enough

admit my mistake.

Tell you what I'm going to do. This item
I'm about to give you, old price.

One -time offer, never to be repeated
again savings.

Take it or leave it, all sales final.

Check, please.

Okay, no. Twist my arm. This one's a
freebie.

While we speak, cops are trashing your
place.

Okay, fine.

I was there. I saw it. But it didn't
happen. You don't know me. I don't know

you. We never met.

I'm glad you

came to the event.

There were at least three cops up there,
two in uniform.

I believe I signed you a frequent
visitor's pass.

Did you hear what I said?

There's cops sniffing your underwear.

Come on.

I'm just trying to help.

How's your color on your TV, Sid?

Listen, I may be late this afternoon.

God, they'll get to you anyway,
Lieutenant.

First day of testimony.

I got a problem in my apartment.

Howard, how do you feel?

Let's see. I haven't touched Officer
Flaherty. He needn't have come.

TV's calling you the cop who wouldn't
quit, Lieutenant.

Everyone wants to know when you're going
to sell your story to Hollywood.

That probably should pass my experience
along.

Frankly, it surpassed the ordinary.

What, are you kidding?

In the dark, nothing to eat or drink for
11 days?

And the guy who died?

It's a wonderful man, Bill.

A true humanist. Me personally, I would
have freaked out.

Prunella?

Oh, howdy.

Prunella.

Beautiful, man.

What?

I feel like I got x -ray eyes, Neil. I
can see things like they really are.

That's cool, babe.

I mean it, man.

It's all happening.

Out there, in here.

Molecules. Life.

I feel it.

Let's see how you feel about our old
friend Leroy Sherman, huh?

You're not Sherman!

Give me my cat! Come on, he wasn't
bothering you! Come on, man, back off!

I told you to back off!

I'm tired of you, Tommy.

You're not going to fool me anymore with
your innocence, Mom.

Dick, no way, baby!

I felt your vice, and I know who you've
been trafficking with.

You're not going to call Leroy again.

He's got my cat.

Go, man. Throw the cat.

Go roll the drunk, will you?

Leroy, what's happening?

What's happening?

This beast has served time in hell. He's
nuts. Shoot him. Shoot him. Hey, come

on, Leroy. It's just a cat.

Messages. He's sending me messages
through him.

They tell me terrible things.

Leroy, look at me.

I understand.

No one understands.

I... Understand.

Oh, man.

Thank you, Doctor.

I thought I was the only one.

I don't believe this.

What did you say to him?

He was private, man.

Cross a mile -mile line, you pay mile
-mile fine.

Emperors crossed any line they want.
Gentlemen, you know the drill. Let's

the scintillating conversation for
downstairs.

Chief? Uh -huh. Our own Shakespeare.

Well done, Henry.

Thank you. I noticed there was no chief
in your story. You saving him for later

chapters? Yeah, I am.

Love to talk to you about the
characterization sometime. I know we

see a fair and accurate portrait.

Chief. Frank, I need a minute. I have a
game, son. They can wait.

This is about Lieutenant Bunce. We'll
talk about that after IAD is through.

Frank, have you seen Howard Hunter yet?
He was sleeping. I'm going back this

afternoon. Ah.

We have a problem.

Bill Palm, Hunter's companion who died,
I just got a call from the medical

examiner's office.

Seems like a part of Palmer was
devoured.

You mean decayed? No, Frank, I mean
devoured.

As in eaten for lunch.

Not a big part. Just a minute portion.
Here.

Rats? The teeth marks were human.

My God.

Exactly.

I'm telling the press how Howard
exemplified the highest traditions of

department. And it turns out... He
munched a little flesh.

Chief. I can see the headlines now.

Head eater takes job literally.

Chief, I find this a little hard to
believe.

Believe it, Frank.

Thanks to a little high -powered
interference from your chief, the ME's

is squelched.

Now it's your turn.

Talk to Howard.

Make that pervert realize he's not to
breathe a word of this to anyone.

If this checks out, poor Howard.

Oh, Frank, spare me.

This whole thing is driving my prostate
nuts.

Hey, Sam.

Are you building a bathroom or a new
wing?

Everyone cheap shots the plumber.

Let me tell you something.

You know who the first plumbers were?

The Romans, that's all.

Yeah? Where are they today?

I'll tell you what it is, man.

Martinez, he got one hand in the Gypsy
Boys and the other in the cops.

You babies listen. You listen good.

There is no unification between Los
Diablos and the Gypsy Boys. We believe

We have the word of the Gypsy Boys and
the Diablos that this wedding is

personal.

Hey! Either my sister gets back soon or
someone's going to wear a shade over

their heads and plug it in like a lamp.
Anybody have a sister?

Everybody have a sister.

I'm going to shut your ugly mouth!

Knock it off.

You've had your say. Now let me tell you
what's going to happen.

Lola Martinez will be safely home within
two hours.

The border incidents will cease.

And this wedding will proceed without
incident.

Or by God, I'll bring this precinct back
to a time most of you never knew.

You won't be able to walk a block
without being spread in red.

Sledgehammers in the middle of the
night.

Search warrants in your girlfriend's
faces.

Those of you who don't know me, ask the
ones who do.

Lieutenant Goldbloom, make sure Mr.
Martinez gets safely back to his cell.

And these men are safe to return to
their neighborhoods.

What a tell me what's going on, Captain.

What are you talking about? Oh, come on.
Cops toss my place when it pretends to

be convenient.

So, this is I .A .D.'s call, huh?

Inside.

Officer Shipman, I believe you know
Lieutenant Bunce.

All right, come on. What do you got,
Shipman? I want all of it. The

says some officers raided his apartment.

We got a warrant. Your warrant's crap.

There's a kilo of cocaine missing from
the suitcase you recovered.

I was informed for the first time this
morning, Norm. I don't know anything

about it, Captain.

We recovered this tackle box from the
lieutenant's apartment.

We found it behind the motor in his
refrigerator.

It contains $17 ,000 in cash, mostly
20s, about $1 ,000 in $10 bills. Right,

Lieutenant?

What about it, Norm?

Howard? Frank.

How are you?

I'm fine.

I understand that I'm to face the
cameras in it, Howard.

Yeah, I want to talk to you about that,
Howard.

The ME's report is in on Bill Palmer,
and we may have something of a public

relations problem here.

What? Howard, I know you've been through
a horrible ordeal.

But I have no... diplomatic way to put
this.

Did you eat part of Bill Palmer?

Yes, Frank.

Have you told this to anyone else?

No, it hasn't come up. Good.

Look, I have no doubt you did what you
felt was necessary.

Bill and I had a pact.

The one who survived took the nutrients
of the other.

We've suppressed the M .E.'s report, so
you needn't be concerned about any of

this getting out.

Frank, are you suggesting that I not
tell the truth?

I'd leave out the part about the
nutrients.

Heaven sakes, why, man?

I mean, to the true survivalist, every
life preserved is a lesson learned.

me, Howard, people are not going to
understand.

Oh.

I see it's that...

departmental image, huh?

Well, I think if the chief knew... The
chief does know, and he wants this kept

quiet.

Really?

Howard, just do me this favor.

Don't talk to the press until you've had
some more rest.

And we've talked this out further.

All right, old sport, but, you know, I
think we just have an honest

difference of opinion here. Please,
Howard.

Understood.

Hot, huh?

Yeah, a little, I guess.

If it ain't the lucky man.

See you on the street, sucker. Your
warrant's bogus.

What's he talking about?

Just blowing smoke. Our warrant is
solid, man. I mean, we got that guy. We

nailed him good.

Sure we did, lover. Guy dry snaps me
three times and walks on some

No way. No way, man.

Are you okay, babe? I'm fine.

It's that scumwad that's in trouble.
That's right.

I checked the warrant. It's airtight.
Huh? Besides, there's no way he's

on in salt with intent to commit murder.
Now, let's go in and testify, all

right?

J .D.

Go ahead.

I, uh, just... I need another drink.

Katie's room is finished.

I'd be honored to take you on a personal
tour.

Well, thanks, Sal, but I've had three
better offers today, and they were all

from winos.

Whoa, whoa!

Okay, I'm going to lay my cards on the
table.

North Avenue Seafood Grotto.

7 .30 tonight, you and me.

Candlelight, clams, and Chianti.

You're kidding.

No, I like making a fool of myself in
the middle of a police station.

Thanks, Sal, but...

No. Come on, think about it.

No. Okay, but I can see you weakening.

You know I'll be back.

Juanita, what took you so long, huh? I'm
sorry.

I've been waiting.

Ruelo, I've never waited so long for
Barry my whole life.

Give me a card.

Solder!

Solder!

You're all right.

Ruelo, she's all right.

You.

What? I wasn't kidnapped.

I went with Tommy.

Why don't we continue this in my office?

Look at this.

Joey O'Donnell, 81.

That's before I joined.

How long have you two known each other?

Three weeks.

Three weeks? Long enough to know. Three
weeks?

This is what happened.

But it's going to unhappen.

Because you're going to marry Enrique
Solis and that's that. You see, Captain,

knew I couldn't talk to him. It's close,
Frankie.

Just talk to him. It's close!

It's all right.

Are you going to call off the wedding?

The wedding goes on.

I love you.

Are you okay?

Yeah,

I'm okay.

You take care of my little sister.

What the hell? He's faithful, huh?

So, uh, what kind of jackpot they got me
in?

The evidence is largely circumstantial.

Their trump card is that $17 ,000 they
found behind your refrigerator.

They can't prove how I got that.

Maybe not.

But we need to account for it. Why, if
they can't prove anything?

Come on, Lieutenant, you're a cop.

You got missing dope and a pile of cash
in a suspect's apartment.

What are you going to think?

I don't care how you got the money, but
we can't frame a defense without an

explanation for it.

Can't talk about that now.

This is PBA you're talking to,
Lieutenant. I am on your side.

I understand, Gosselin.

I'm sorry to waste your time.

Then for the next four days, Bill
recited to me, with an urgency that I

at first understand, a fully realized
moral philosophy of

survivalism.

Then he was gone.

And you were alone?

All alone?

Well, not entirely.

For Bill left me a gift.

This is what I was trying to make
Captain Ferillo understand. It's what I

to talk to you about.

I'm here, Hattie. I'm here.

Well, Bill told me it was my obligation
to assume his remaining nutrients for

myself.

How do you didn't? On the morning of the
seventh day, I took Bill at his word.

You consumed human flesh?

I took nutrients.

The soul had fled.

What's wrong, dear?

Surely you, of all people... Every
fortnight, Jagawala would enter the

He would return the next morning in a
strange mood, full of vigor.

The villagers would not tell me where he
went. They accused me of being a

nagging bum tummy.

And so one evening I followed him.

And I observed.

The bonfires at his ceremony.

The sacrifice.

The human sacrifice.

And the banquet that followed.

And so I fled to you, Howdy, only to
find that you practice the same

Well, no offense, Prunella, but I assume
Jaga is a cannibal. In this situation

is a different matter.

Is there no man for me who can refuse
partaking of the flesh?

Prunella? I'm sorry, Howdy.

We are from two different worlds.

Guido. Hello, Mary.

You got a minute?

Yes, please.

This is a mess.

That looks fine.

Excuse me.

Tommy, Mommy's here. Mommy's here. It's
okay. It's okay.

Bad dream.

How's the little guy?

Oh, he's great.

He's great.

That's good.

Something's wrong.

I gotta ask you to do something for me.

I wasn't talking to Guido right after
Tommy died.

Because I was mad.

I remember.

So, I don't know, a month or two later,
Guido comes over. He's got this box full

of money.

Says he found it in Tommy's coop.

He's been holding it for me.

Where'd Donahue get the money?

I don't know, Captain.

Considering Tommy's situation, I knew I
.A .D. would impound it.

Go on. It was pregnant.

I didn't know it when Tommy died.

And Guido said the money was for me and
the baby.

A few days later, I called him. I was
scared about keeping the money. I was

afraid I'd spend it on booze. Just throw
it away, you know.

I asked Guido to hold it for me.

It was Tommy's money, Captain Guido. He
was just doing me a favor.

He was Tommy's best friend, you know.

What now, Captain?

I don't know, Norman. She was telling
the truth.

The Board of Rights is going to have a
hard time believing that.

And even if they buy it, you're way, way
out of policy.

It'll look good, huh?

No. Yeah.

Hello. Hey.

That's right.

It's your no -good brother.

Hi.

I was just thinking that it's been a
while since you and Rob were over.

Maybe we could...

Have dinner.

Oh, let him go to Vegas, huh?

I hope you put a padlock on his wallet.

Well,

maybe just me and you then, huh?

Joining him tonight, it's great.

It's great you could get away.

No.

No, I'm not angling for a low.

I'm just thinking about my sister,
that's all.

Yeah, ring me when you get back. We'll
set something up.

Bye.

Grace Gardner's latest project.

Interesting. I understand your story got
a rough reception.

Nothing unexpected.

I suppose I'm a little disappointed.

I was hoping maybe some people would
appreciate the fact I got it down right.

Being a writer takes some getting used
to, I guess.

But at least you're on your way.

I guess.

Henry, did you have to make the captain
so bland?

Just a friendly observation.

I'll keep it in mind, Frank.

Hey, J .D., you all right, man?

Fine.

Day catching up, huh, man?

A little.

Maybe.

Yeah.

I was feeling so good there.

You weren't shocked, babe.

Now I... Look.

I can't stop him.

Hey, no more reaction, man.

I tried talking to Peg, but you know how
it is with her.

Then... I

almost died today.

And I don't have anybody to talk to.

Come on, babe. Come on. Come on. Come
on.

Hi,

Raymond. Good evening, Sergeant.

Good evening, Cannonball.

Hey, Lucy. How are you? How are you
doing, Coach?

Hey, sorry to force you back on roll
call.

Oh, no problem there. I'm going to get a
permanent replacement sooner or later.

What it came down to is I just didn't
want to go back on day shift.

I'm so used to nights, you know.

Yeah, well, you got to do what's best
for you, huh?

Thanks, hon. Have a good night.

I got some dates.

These came for you.

Oh, thanks, Raymond.

Ooh, who's it from, Luce?

It's for me to know and you to find out.

What do I care? I got a date tonight.

Oh, and I'm real interested.

I'll see you later, Luce.

Raymond.

Lieutenant.

Nick. This story, I've just read it.

Uh -huh.

It's good.

I mean, I really liked it.

Part of it was sad, part of it was
funny. I don't know. It seemed very real

me, for whatever that's worth.

That's worth a lot, Nick.

Thanks. You're welcome.

Line three for you, Captain.

Captain Perillo.

Frank, I've been thinking about what you
said, how people might not understand.

And I agree with you. I'll not make
mention of it. Oh, I'm glad, Howard.

You sound tired.

You deserve a long rest.

Thank you, Frank.

Good night.

Dinner, Lieutenant.

We're putting you on a high -protein
regimen. Thank you, Nurse.

Hey, listen, I pay for chicken wings, I
get chicken wings, but you ain't gonna

have a catering truck in the morning.
You understand, Mr. LaFontaine?

Good.

So, how's the doofarillos doing?

Oh, fine.

Lovely party.

Two G's, but I figure it's worth it.
Oye, Jesus, nice gig.

Hey,

this kid's got it easy.

I was their age, I was boosting the
cheque.

It was work. Now they sell some dope and
they buy the car.

It don't earn me. My little brother, he
don't know the value of work.

Remember how many kids lost money it
took to make ends meet?

Those days are gone, brother.

Isn't that Tippy Mocha?

Damn. I'm here to make trouble like
always.

I thought he was in Harrisonville.

After all last week. Gotta keep up,
Frankie.

Excuse me.

No, excuse me.

Why don't you go park your ugly body
outside?

I like it here.

Well, you listen.

Come on, Martinez.

Just like all times.

Tippi, drop it now.

I can take care of this. Drop it now.

My chest.

My chest.

He's choking up.

Call the paramedics.

You're going to be okay, Tippi.

That's what you get for eating so many
tacos, you fat toad.

Well, anyways, it's over.

I guess what hurts is it didn't bother
her that much.

Well, no big deal. It is a big deal,
Patrick.

Because you reached out.

And even though Officer Russo didn't
respond the way you hoped, you followed

your feelings.

I guess.

I'm glad you suggest the disgrace.

You seem to understand so much.

Do I?

That's funny.

Sometimes during the last few months,
even I wondered if I was crazy.

What do you mean?

Well, you've got to admit, Patrick, my
life hasn't exactly followed a

conventional path.

But I've come to realize that it's my
path.

And I like my life.

And how many people can say that?

Not many.

Sometimes I do feel it.

We're all just trying to find our way in
the dark.

I feel that way, too.

You're both searchers, Patrick.

We could be back at my place in 20
minutes.

Jerry Seelig from St. Paul. Jerry, how
you doing?

Hey, I see we're on the same panel.

Grace,

Grace, I can't get it open, Grace.

Oh, no, no!

Dan, do we really need this thing?

It's me, Norm.

Hey, Norm.

Let's go in or out, Sid.

I'm in.

And a bottle of rosé.

And pistachios. The big bag, Norm.

For a little celebration.

Norman, I have decided that not
everything is dependent upon the bottom

So, even though it's going to cost me,
and don't I know it, I have given my

notice to Benedict.

This operator works for Norman Bunce,
period.

Terrific. Come on, Norman.

Give us a little smile, huh? Look.

Maybe you can still patch things up with
Benedict.

What are you talking about?

A .D.'s got my badge and my gun.

I've been suspended.
