All language subtitles for Hill Street Blues s07e22 It Aint Over Till Its Over

Yeah, who is it? It's me, Norm.

What if I was asleep, huh?

You know my man better than that.

All right, so what's going on, sir? I
think yours truly is finally making some

progress. Progress? How? Well, I got
confirmation.

Certain gendarmes have been moving some
stuff over the last few months.

It's a guy named Freddy Jerome who's
this far away from giving me the name.

move coke?

No, prunes.

Look, Norm, who's ever framing you for
stealing a suitcase?

Makes sense. Maybe they sold some of it.
Where's this guy Freddy live? No, uh

-uh, Norm.

Hey, Norm, Norman, you're doing the ente
until we find out who's giving you the

inside shift. Come on.

Okay, all right, all right. It's just,
I'm just afraid they're going to take my

job from me, Sid. You want to help?

Let me hold whatever cash you've got.
This guy Freddy's going to take some

encouraging before he gives me the
names.

Yeah, I only got 38 bucks. 38 bucks? All
right, that's good. I'll get more.

Norm, no mistakes.

Remain at Shea Burns.

Hey.

I appreciate what you're doing, Sid.

Look at that.

They're ruining those movies with that
colorizing thing.

Extensive smoke and water damage,
Captain.

We are doing a shear and stress test to
see if the structure is held up. Can we

work here?

Have preliminary status for a few
minutes.

Ready for more, Captain?

Two hookers killed on Banjo. Strangled
with piano wire.

Yeah, that's the M .O. and that's height
strangulation.

That phone's dead.

Another one's working.

All right, tell the heights we want the
complete profile on the piano wire

killer. Yes, sir.

believe this, Captain? Do you believe we
go this far? What are you talking

about? I knew Lieutenant Bunce was a
loose cannon, but I never thought he'd

endangering people's lives.

Do you think Lieutenant Bunce had
something to do with this fire?

Leveling, Captain?

We're very close to filing charges on
the evidentiary theft that co -came from

the suitcase.

How do you figure a guy like that, huh?

Maybe he wants to bring the whole house
down with him. Lieutenant Shipman, we're

hip deep here in fire marshals. No one's
raised the possibility of arson. I've

been told they can show me the spot on
the fuse box where the current

overloaded. That heist file's on its
way, Captain. Thanks, Jenkins.

If you have enough to arrest Bunce for
stealing evidence, go ahead and do it.

Otherwise,

leave us alone!

Captain!

What's our status?

Your power has hit bad. We got the wet
and we got the stink. I've also got a

serial killer and an IED investigation
in progress.

If it's possible not to relocate, that's
how I'd like to proceed.

Okay. You're willing to deal with all
that right now. Your base structure is

holding up.

The only area that I'd make a question
mark is back there in the corner.

Otherwise, you should be all right.

Are we following some organized regimen
here, Sergeant, as to clean up?

Well, uh, everyone handles the area they
work in. I guess we're lucky the

joint's still standing.

Well, temporarily. No doubt they will
level and rebuild.

Okay. Lieutenant, Sergeant.

Chief. Melancholy event.

When's the new building go up, Chief?

Not my department, Sergeant.

Gentlemen.

Two seconds on another matter.

Charges filed yet on our friend Bunce
for stealing that cocaine? Not yet. I

them filed, Frank. Talk to IAD.

I want our losses cut with that
throwback.

So, what page you on with these hooker
murders?

I won't ask Detective Panzikis what page
he and his task force are on.

Oh, Panzikis, doc. They've been on page
one since the unit was formed ten months

ago. We're just doing what mortals can,
chief, you know. Which obviously does

not include catching the killer.

Frank, I know today's a logistical
nightmare, but I want you full bore on

maniac. Detective Benzikis got us up to
speed on what the task force has

developed. I'm sure that was a highly
informative conversation.

Did you show them the piece in the law
enforcement monthly where we're second

from the top in multiple unsolved
homicides?

I've got it here somewhere, Chief.

Detective Benzikis is here to cooperate
with you, Captain, under your

supervision. And Lieutenant Goldblum's,
if you'll catch my drift.

Understand they've decided to level the
precinct house.

Put up another building.

Oh? Yeah.

Suppose it fires the sort of nudge the
bureaucracy needs to modernize it.

What a guy.

You know, it's baffling, but ever since
I've been on the force, I have been the

chief's fair -haired boy.

Don't talk to me about letters of
appeal, mister. You IRS people garnished

paycheck right out of left field. Now my
wife has to buy groceries.

Yes, I will wait.

The coffee area is off limits, Sid.
What's left of it. Listen, fellas, the

name is Freddy Jerome. I got him
positioned to come forward. All I got to

grease the wheel a little. What are you
saying, Sid?

You're going to bribe the guy to lie so
Bunce gets off? No.

I got him positioned to come forward to
tell the truth.

What's the matter with you guys? You
think Lieutenant Bunce did this? It's

to know what to think, Sid. Well, I'm
telling you, Lieutenant Bunce did not

pinch a suitcase full of soda. I know.

I tried to talk him into doing it.
Whatever, Sid. A sawbuck is all I got.

That's excellent.

Very good.

Uh, 25.

All right. Is this to help Lieutenant
Bunce? Yeah. I thought you and Bunce

didn't get along.

I got, uh, 16 bucks.

16, 16 bucks.

You guys gotta get a pay raise.

Hey, Norm.

Norman, you promised.

Norman.

Lieutenant Bunce. It's my understanding
that you are suspended and denied these

premises? Leave me alone.

Hey, hey, listen, no. No, no, don't need
deposit.

I'll go by the bank tonight after I pick
up Frank Jr. I'll give you a new check.

All right?

Sorry.

Well, of course it'll never happen
again. It never does.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Captain. Norman?

Norman, I'm wondering what you're doing
here. I mean, what good do you think you

can do?

Look, I'm going over and over in my
head, Captain.

I'm not getting an honest count from
this IED guy.

Can't we get something going up here,
some sort of shadow investigation?

That is so far out of policy. To
investigate the evidence lost, the

We don't have venue.

If I sign men, that's a transparent
intrusion.

Captain, look, I explained to Shipman
the money in my apartment.

He didn't question that. He seemed to
accept that.

Then they suspend me.

Obviously, they feel they have more than
they're saying. If they have more, it's

crap, because I didn't do anything.

What do you think?

I'm playing it right down the middle.

It's because of what a captain does, all
right? And I had a few scrapes, a few

officer involves.

But, Captain, one thing you ought to
know about Norm Bunce, which is...

Why I didn't do this, Captain, it's why
it don't even make sense.

I don't need the money, Captain.

Guys who do this, they're either jammed
up or it's what they like. They like

having lots of money.

What I like is people don't screw around
with me.

That's A.

And B, I like being a cop.

I'll have a look into this on my own.
That means no clout, no subpoena power,

but it's the best I can do.

You go home.

You go home and stay there.

How about I just stick around in case
this works?

Home. Home and stay there now.

We were on sector patrol, Lieutenant.
That bag lady hailed us.

I guess she found the bodies while she
was going through the garbage.

She didn't see anything else?

No, sir.

Found these IDs on the bodies? Yes, sir.

Bobby, Andy.

Lieutenant, we're not going to get very
much from that lady.

You fellas want to do door -to -door in
the surrounding building?

I do not know why people trash the area
surrounding their own domicile.

Hurry and land forensics, please.

You got it, Lieutenant.

They probably worked Decker and 103rd.
We should probably start there.

You want more time?

No, no, let's get out of here.

Any thoughts?

Yeah, just ones I don't want to have.

All left to me, would you please?

I think it's like the other killings,
but, you know, different.

I don't think it's the same guy.

Copycat? Mm -hmm.

Listen, I'm the fellow behind the eight
ball, and this one, Lieutenant, I am the

last guy to ask about this stuff, you
know what I mean?

Thanks.

You feel okay?

Huh. Why wouldn't I feel okay?

Aside from the fact that I got a cash
flow problem, which would make old

Hubbard blush, and the fact that I'm in
the middle of a divorce, which is

roughly the equivalent of a sack of rum,
my existence on this planet is just

fine.

Excuse me.

Yes? The initials on this motion
hearing, are those Judge Levine's?

I mean, Levine is Harold, right?

That doesn't look like an H. That's
because it's an N.

That's Judge Loring's initials. Judge
Nathan Loring, Part B -4. This cocaine

hearing was supposed to be in B -7.

That's Judge Levine's court. Yeah, but
Levine gets backed up, and if it's light

in another part of the courthouse, they
shoot the excess over there.

And the court officers on this list, are
they Levine's or Loring's?

Levine's B7. So this record doesn't
actually tell us which court officers

handled the evidence in this case. Hey,
we make the records up when the hearing

-ready case exits the hub courtroom.
That's 90 a day. I'm not accusing, but I

have to know who Loring's court officers
are.

Well, that would be... No, no, no, I
don't mean that.

I mean in this case.

Oh, man, Captain, you're talking an hour
and a half to go through things. A

man's career is at stake here.

Will you go through half of them?

I'm indebted to the boat here. Get out
of here. Get out of here.

I don't get it.

How can't they see it's in their best
interest to talk to us? You've got no

what kind of control these guys got over
their minds. I mean, that Nazi

propaganda guy. What's his name? I think
he studied with the pimps in Munich.

Listen, there's one something that's
necessary to you because, you know, I

skip it.

It's okay with me.

I got something I gotta take care of.

You know, actually, you could do me a
favor. I mean, I have no idea why you'd

want to, but... Sure.

I gotta go see my wife's divorce lawyer.
You'd find him interesting. He's one of

the few human beings on the planet with
rabies. What's your favor?

Practically nothing. All you gotta do is
just sit there. I'll do all the

talking.

Then, uh... When I, uh... When I put my
finger to my eye like this, right?

You go into your pocket like you're
going to get something and you say to

shall I show him the pictures now, Mr.

Penzikis? That's it?

Shall I show him the pictures now, Mr.
Penzikis? Yeah, but, you know, when I

touch my eye like this.

What pictures am I referring to?

My wife's trying to put the squeeze on
me for Alamo. I'm guessing she's running

around. So maybe if we make the guy
think like we got proof, then he'll stop

these blood from stone experiments, you
know?

Shall I show him the pictures now, Mr.

Penzikis?

You're a great American.

Just going around asking people a few
questions. Two women were killed last

night. The bodies were found in the
vacant lot next door.

I don't know nothing about it. Do you
mind if we ask you a few questions?

You see anything last night out here?
Anything unusual, strange?

No.

Junkies. No babies crying.

No seating off the hiding board.

Robert. Is that right?

Yeah, right.

Do you know me?

Not really.

Ma 'am, this is my card here, Hill
Street Station. So if I hear anything

unusual, even people talking, just let
me know, please. In the meantime, thank

you very much for your time. Let's go.

You know me, don't you? From where?

Doesn't matter.

Robert, will you come on? We still have
three more floors of valuable interviews

to conduct.

Thanks for your time.

Okay.

Shipman overlooked five court officers
because their names never appeared in

hearing records.

I'm assuming a clerical error, but
technically any one of them could have

handled the suitcase.

Coho Vernon.

What about him? Damn.

Damn. Norman.

I'll tell you what about him, Captain.

There's a guy named Benedict at the
Heights who was trying to steal my

Must have been pumping him for crap on
me, helping to build the case. And Coho?

They were damn partners.

When Coho was a slug cop, the two guys
were partnered up together.

Damn it.

I knew this was a frame job. I knew it.

Howard, Frank, we have to get four
detectives over to the federal

right away.

Norman, you're going to stay put. You
understand?

You stay right here.

Joyce. Hi, Irwin.

If this was the Catskills, and this was
my Uncle Chaim's colony resort, they

would call this Jewish lightning.

Something wrong?

My constituents.

Nine killed in the last seven months,
and they go on with business as usual.

I understand it's come home now.

The ones last night were found in the
hill?

I've got news.

July 1, I'm out of here.

Erwin. What?

Private practice? California.

L .A.

I've got a cousin there who's got a real
estate firm. They're expanding. They

need a litigator. Half criminal. Get
into some civil.

Congratulations.

I'm really happy for you. Thanks.

So, uh, you don't want to try and talk
me out of it? Try and get me to stay?

Joke.

Doc, City Fiscal Service.

We're going to keep the repairs at a
minimum on this thing until we find out

about destructive future.

What electrical was broken in?

More electrical.

And this authorizes a reconnector on
your plumbing.

What's your contract?

Sal Bonacci.

B -minus. Hey, Sal happens to be a
pretty good plumber. Hey, use him, use

Hey, aren't you Robert DiNapoli? Yeah.

I thought that was you. Hey, tonight on
TV you're going to open that vault,

right? No, it just came from the
demolition site. I was there with my

yeah. What do you think's in it, you
know? We're going to find out, aren't

Listen, uh, sorry.

We just did a run -through, and I have
got zero visual composition without the

cops. Now, if I can't get night shift
cops assigned to me, maybe I can hire

daytime cops who are off duty.

Uh, well, I can let the day shift know.

Okay. You get me up to eight bodies, 50
bucks apiece for three hours.

I think your rhythm took a little off.
No, no, no.

The extra hundred's for you. For helping
me out.

A lot more than anybody else around here
has done.

Yeah, well, maybe you didn't notice.

We had a fire here, huh?

Captain, Lieutenant Shipman on line
three.

Parola. Yeah.

You heard right. We're bringing in
Officer Coho.

Because you weren't doing a job, that's
why.

No excuses.

You blew the Coho connection.

You blew the courthouse connection.

And I won't have my man Bunt subjected
to this level of incompetence.

No, no, you won't take him downtown.
We're questioning him here.

Well, you get up here if you want to
hear it.

We're booking, Captain?

Not yet. Interrogation A. Erwin, I need
you.

Interrogation A. Leon Durst, Captain,
representing Detective Coho. Yeah, I

time's a factor here. Meaning your
client knows we can get the same

from his running mate, Detective
Benedict.

But in which case, hypothetically
speaking, Captain, you could be giving

the head guy to bag a lonely accomplice.

Obviously, your lowly accomplice here is
the guy who broke into a suitcase

containing 80 pounds of cocaine for
which another cop has been wrongly

Well, if that's what you want to settle
for, Captain, but you'll be missing

three quarters of the players. No games.

What has he got? I got a walk.

Off the force, okay.

But no charges.

No way, a free walk.

A free walk is too cheap. Now, you
wouldn't say that, gentlemen, if I told

there's also a high -ranking police
official involved here. We can give him

you. What official?

Doing what?

In the thick of it. Who?

Lieutenant.

We can add with internal division
responsibilities.

Come on, Coho.

If you have something to tell us. But I
want to make sure I walk.

If it's as big as you say, and if it
sticks, then you walk. That's all we can

offer. Well, as a matter of fact, that's
all we wanted.

Go ahead.

Shipman.

Lieutenant Shipman?

Lieutenant Jim Shipman, IAD.

They had him. Benedict had him for
stealing a captain's test.

Shipman was in their pocket, and they
owned him like they own me.

Uh, we had a deal.

All right, my friend. Are you ready for
some good news? What's that, Sid, huh?

You got a message from your great pal,
Detective Benedict, huh? He got

for me, maybe a lifetime ticket to
Lamster's Cove? What are you talking

I'm talking about Vernon Coho, you
moron. Coho? Wait a minute, that's the

Freddy J. just found for me. I came here
to give that to you.

Well, you're late, Sid. Ferillo had that
for me hours ago.

Now, I tell you something, huh?

Coho used to partner with Benny
Benedict, huh?

Your big spender, Benedict.

Oh, Norm. Oh, Norm, yeah, they framed
me, Sid. Benedict framed me, and he used

you to get anything he needed.

Norm, I never thought... Listen, the
only thing I ever said a word about was

money. The rest was just plain
snitching. Well, that was enough.

Norm, if Ferillo's on to it, then they
got him, right?

Did they get the other guy, too? What
guy? Your pal, Benedict?

No, the other guy. The guy inside.

Freddie Jerome said nobody's sweating
this because it was somebody inside the

investigation. Name?

Who's the heck I had one for you? I
can't tell you how bad I feel about

I don't know, just somebody high up,
that's all I know.

Shipman.

Listen, Norm, I got a knot right here
where I breathe.

I know I'm in no position to give
advice, but what I'm seeing, you're

something nuts.

Shut up, Sid. A, Shipman may not be the
name, and B, they got it already.

Who's they, huh?

Shipman is they. How about maybe
Ferrello is sitting on his hands and

three quarters of the way to Acapulco,
huh?

Yeah, uh, uh, Lieutenant Shipman,
please.

309... All right, all right, thank you.
Yeah, it's gone. Shipman's left already.

Now, wait a minute, Norm.

Yeah,

Captain Perillo, please. Sidney Thurston
calling.

I'm a snitch. That's what I do.

One count solicitation. Hey, I don't
need no intake. Just plead me. Why don't

you catch him? Why don't you just make
him stop?

She knew those two girls, Candy and
Jermaine.

The murdered prostitutes?

Why don't you working girls help the
police a little more? I'm sure there's

somebody... What do you mean, help you?

What's he say if I help you? He's not
going to come and kill me.

You catch him. You people catch him
before he kills somebody else.

Is she charged?

No, she came in to find out the names of
the two women killed.

What's her name?

Cassie. But don't put me in the middle
of nothing, Miss Davenport.

Did she do something to you? You want me
to go get her?

Doreen?

Fingerprint.

A couple hours personal time, Sarge. Got
it.

Erwin, those warrants are chipping
ready.

Should be here by now.

Thurston, Captain, line four.

Hello.

I know who you are. Just tell me what
you're... All right. Yeah, I'll take it

from here.

Erwin, have those warrants follow me to
Shipman's place.

Call Division.

Check me on an ethics question, Erwin.
Shoot. A hypothetical conversation on

three occasions, which the other party
addresses me as if I'm a member of the

police department. It's clear she thinks
I'm a cop. She doesn't realize I'm a

lawyer. Query?

Query, am I bound by privilege as to the
conversation substance?

Thus proving conclusively you dozed
through legal canons and principles 101.

no, Irwin. Can I tell someone what you
said?

Yes, you can tell me.

You're not bound.

Thanks. You're going to miss these
little chats.

A shipment warrant for you, Mr.
Bernstein. Thank you.

Lieutenant Goldblum, he's in
interrogation with a detective, Penn

Have a police officer forward these
warrants for the captain, please. All

See if you can get Officer Russo to do
this.

Plumbing's reconnected. What a boy, Sal.

Just took a look at the pipes behind the
salt wall where the fire spread.

Salt? Well, the whole place could have
went. I keep thinking what could have

happened if a certain person were in it
when it burnt.

She don't like thinking about that.

Have dinner with me.

Her name is Cassie. She works somewhere
in the red zone.

I think you should question her. I think
she knows something about those

murders.

Who are you?

She's a lawyer.

And you're representing this Cassie? If
I were representing her, I wouldn't be

talking to you. Thank you.

Afternoon, ma 'am.

There was an incident in the vacant lot
outside your building last night. I saw.

You saw something, ma 'am? It's been on
the television all day.

No, ma 'am, what I was asking you is
that if you actually saw anything out

window last night.

I'm not hard of hearing, sir. So you
didn't see anything last night, ma 'am?

Oh, I stay away from the window ever
since Mr. Sussman passed away.

It's been nine years. Oh, thank you, ma
'am.

Oh, let me fix you some tea. Ma 'am.
Thank you very much, ma 'am.

The tea will be no trouble.

That's okay, ma 'am.

Thanks for your time.

Thank you, officer.

Yeah.

Thank you, sir.

Buddy, we are in luck. Last apartment of
the day is empty. We are finished.

I get it, too. I get it, too.

What? Depression. Every time we go on a
door -to -door campus, I get so blue by

the end of the day, I can slit my wrist.

But I have a solution. Dr.

Rayko's after -shift beers at Slattery's
Bar. Rayko, cut it out. I'm not going

to let it get to you. I'm not going to
let it get to me.

Third place going to be lucky, Cassie?

Used to be his cousin Tyrone's place.

He'd sleep there during the day.

It's the only other place I know where
he'd be.

You're doing the right thing.

If Wayne killed those girls...

Just Candy and Jermaine.

Just those two last night. Oh, well,
then he's all right, huh?

Well, the others he brought to that
white man downtown.

He died last month?

The white man downtown?

That's why all the murders stopped.

Then Dwayne got afraid somebody was
going to tell him. There it is.

Second floor all the way in the back.

You don't understand, Mr. Belker.

Your 1984 return was kicked out for an
audit. 1984?

And you failed to respond to five mail
requests to set up an appointment.

I never got those.

So you say.

So the next step is you're garnishing my
paycheck.

Got your attention, didn't we?

And I can see why it was kicked out.

It's this claim of maternal dependency.

That's correct. I took care of my mother
the last three years she was alive. I

paid her bills.

Can you prove that?

Yes.

Yes. I got all the receipts.

So these contributions on your part
constituted more than half her income?

It was me, Social Security, and bingo.

Man, as long as you can prove that, we
got no problem.

And you can access her papers and
receipts?

Hers? Is there a problem with that, Mr.
Belker?

Can you access them?

I guess so.

Unbelievable.

Back in a suitcase.

Put that gun away and you're under
arrest. No, no, no, no. You're under

suspension. It means that gun is
illegal.

Hey, Mr. Internal.

I don't think you've got time to arrest
me.

Not with that plane you're going to get.

All right. All right. Now you tell me,
huh? You tell me all about it, huh? What

you guys did.

You figured. What did you think when you
decided to give me the fall on this?

Stop! Get off him, Norman. Let up. No,
no.

I'm not so sure, Captain.

Norman. I'll tell you the truth.

I'm not sure what my move is here.

No, you see, because this is what's
important to me, Captain.

I look down the road. I don't see me
coming out of this a cop.

I don't see how I come out of this okay.

You put down the gun. You give him up,
or you're never going to come out of

okay.

Come on, Shipman.

Oh!

Shipman 2, under warrant.

I thought he was going to get away.

I was only holding him is all.

I know that.

Chief. Captain, I just spoke to ADA
Morris. There'll be no direct grand jury

presentation. Chief, on butts.

Stormin' Norman?

Is this necessary?

The gun's a technical felony at worst,
committed under the most extreme

pressure, and for understandable
reasons.

Rather pin a medal on him, Frank?

Talk at N695611, Detective Michael
Benedict, charged with grand larceny,

possession of controlled substance,
obstruction of justice.

People ask $250 ,000 bail.

Is that the consultation?

Correct. My client expects a bond to be
posted.

Long date.

Next.

Socket N69 -5599, Lieutenant Norman
Bunce, belonging to possession of a

People are asking $100 ,000.

Why? Why?

Because Daniels spoke to Morrison.

On bail for Bunce? No.

But his nose is so far out of joint,
Frank, over this whole business. I'll

interference with the chief.

Erwin, please.

What the case is worth, Bunce can make.

Good thing private practice awaits.

10 ,000?

Your Honor,

I misread my papers. People ask 10 ,000,
10 % cash alternative.

Can a defendant make that?

Yeah.

You wish to say something more,
Lieutenant?

No.

No.

Hi, Tina.

Hi.

So you're going to pick up a quick 50
tonight?

What are you telling me about?

A TV guy. He's hiring cops for window
dressing for the TV show.

Bates has the chits if you're
interested.

Guess not.

You're not interested?

Okay.

Yo, fellas, in or out on the TV gate?
In.

Um, I'm not sure.

All right.

Okay.

Reset, detective?

Rendezvous at 6 .15.

You set your time, please, Pauly, and
contact your Swiss banker.

I've already done it.

Everyone's on alert.

Hey, hey, hey. What's happening, Pauly?
How you doing there, detective?

Mm -hmm.

Can't be any accident, Eddie.

What are you talking about? Three times
within 24 hours I seen you with Pauly.

It's a free country. That's what our
forefathers fought for.

Uh -huh.

Hey, a cup of coffee, please, Estelle.

Of course, if I didn't think you were
going to be a prude, maybe I'd tell you

what we got going. Don't tell me, lover.

Maybe I'd let you in on some guaranteed
dinero, plus that TV hump. Robert

DiNapoli, he gets egg on his puss in
front of however many people he roped

watching his TV program. Take the no, J
.D. Neil, Pauly's got the sewer plants a

back way into that wine cellar. I mean,
it's even legal, the law of salvage. We

got as much right to it as he does.

What do you say?

I say no.

crawling on my belly through human
waste.

That's why they made horse racing.

Detective, I got a bunch of telephone
messages for you.

Everything okay at home?

No, it isn't.

It's my mother.

Detective, nothing gives me greater
pleasure than revising upwards my

one of my men.

Lieutenant, I'm very proud. Thank you.
Book him.

Be gentle. He's somebody's son and
brother, huh?

I'm from the fire marshal's office,
Chief. If I could just have a couple of

minutes, would you? These reporters are
on deadline.

Boys, I'll keep my statement simple.

Just that an arrest like this is what
makes police work the soul -satisfying

vocation it is. Then Green's responsible
for last year's string of counter -wire

murders. From my understanding, that's a
rather complicated situation.

I wouldn't want to prejudice any jury.

But I will say that I'm breathing easy.

Well, what about these reports that
they're tearing down Hill Street, Chief?

Yeah, a new building's going to have a
sauna and ping -pong rooms, and from

I hear, it's going to be... Well, I
haven't actually seen any plans. Is that

right? They're tearing the old building
down? Yeah, from what I've been hearing.

Geez, because his building came to the
fire like a champ, and they don't build

them like this anymore.

Well, who actually said that the
building is coming down?

I thought Lieutenant Hunter said they
were going to level the whole place.

I don't know. I guess he's just saying
his own opinion.

Gentlemen, ladies, let's understand each
other.

Given the budget crunch, if old is
sound, then old is better.

But I repeat, it's not my department.

Didn't you come here to get the story on
a historic and heroic arrest?

Norman. Lieutenant.

I salute you.

Thanks.

Yes, I've been there.

Non -carborundum and all that.

How'd you get by, Howard? What?

The humiliation of unjust emotion?

I stood there.

In front of everybody.

In front of the judge, the cops.

As if I was a thief.

Or a pimp.

Well, you're neither.

You're a man.

Naked.

Shivering. Everything in the world taken
from you could still be that.

You believe that? Oh, yes.

had to.

Norman, people like Daniels don't give a
rat's dropping about people

like you and I.

What about Lieutenant Bunce? What about
it?

As I jokingly suggested to his captain,
are we supposed to pin a medal on him?

He, in fact, was a decorated cop, am I
right? And his jacket's as thick as the

yellow page.

People, without prejudging anybody, I'll
say this once.

The department is not afraid to sort out
its bad apples. You wouldn't be going

after Bunce to broaden the focus away
from your busted internal affairs man,

would you?

Absolutely not. Each will be dealt with.
In Bunce's case, he carried a weapon

and assaulted a man while under
suspension.

Allegedly. Of course.

Please, people.

On this day when we should all be
relieved and proud that a vicious killer

been brought to ground, let's not dwell
on the department's thieving, bullying,

greedy, lawless few.

You're saying I'm finished, aren't you?

Sir, if I have anything to say about it,
you are.

Nick?

You tell me to make coffee, then you
disappear.

Sorry. Phillip asleep?

What is it?

It's okay.

I found the tax receipts right where
they were supposed to be.

She saved everything.

Wrapping paper.

Rubber band she saved.

Keys to nothing.

There's two boxes here full of actual
rags.

That used to drive me crazy that we had
exploding closets.

Pop didn't care.

I could have done this.

I could have gone through this stuff for
you.

Don't you think this is something for me
to do? After all this time, I could

never bring myself to get near this
stuff.

The stuff that was Mom's.

The pictures and the letters.

I put in one box.

That's what we show to Philip when he's
old enough to know who his grandma was.

The rest of this stuff, it's junk. It
goes.

What is it?

It's a passbook. She opened up an
account nine years ago for her

That's where all the money I gave her
wound up.

It's Phillips now.

She never said.

And you know what?

She never declared the interest.

I don't know what the hell I'm going to
tell him down at the audit.

Hi. I'm Officer Hill.

I was here before.

I brought something for you. It's a
little one.

I got it at the fast food.

Lionel, what a nice man gave you a clown
coat.

Hey.

You shy?

Yeah.

I know who you are. I remember from a
long time ago. That's why I came back.

I've been trying to remember you, but I
can't.

You were officer friendly.

Came to my school.

I was at the academy.

That was part of our training program.

I was in the seventh grade.

That was my last year. I didn't do
normal school after that.

Why didn't you just say to me today
that's where you knew me from?

I guess because everything I take out
and show just gets took

from me.

A lot's happened since then.

Yeah.

You were nice then, too.

Look, have you and the kids had dinner
yet? Because I haven't. I was just

thinking that maybe I could just take
you all out to the fast food.

I'll go put some more clothes on the
baby.

Okay.

You know, the day we had dinner like
that was just a thing. That was some

beautiful meal you ordered, Sal.

It's no big deal.

A couple of basic rules to remember,
what color of wine goes with what. No

kidding, Sal. It was a real feast, and
you were such a gentleman.

Life is full of surprises, huh?

Yeah, sometimes you just don't know
about people until you see them in the

world.

I'll have you home by 11, as promised.

Ladies first.

Come on.

Hey,

all right.

Okay, come on, Robert. Let's see how
much cash you've smashed in here.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is actual
history.

The opening of Calabresi's secret wine.

After four decades, the spoils of
America's most luxurious thing.

And now crossing over the threshold.

Like an archaeologist, exploring the
dawn of organized crime.

What will I find?

What?

It's a horse.

Ladies and gentlemen, could this have
happened? Did we discover some final,

ghoulish entry in the ledger of Abe
Calabrese's victims?

Hey!

Where am I?

It's a miracle.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm beginning to
smell a rat here.

I'm beginning to smell a calculated
effort.

by an envious power structure to
embarrass an investigative reporter. Who

you, buddy? Who are you working for?

Nobody.

Hey, you can go with envious power
structure if you want to, Mr. DiNapoli.

sticking with it's a miracle.

Hi, sis.

I'll apologize, you know. Believe me,
citizen. Sincere apology. There's no way

Daniels doesn't reconsider.

Take the shot.

Kidding myself, aren't I?

Chief of police.

You busted him in the chops.

I'm finished.

I don't know.

They're not filing any criminal
complaints, am I right?

There's no charges for assault.

No.

They're making do with what they got
against me, carrying that piece.

All right, so it was a misdemeanor,
Beef.

There's no way on the planet you were
looking at any time.

You don't get it, do you?

What?

I... I can't be a cop.

The rest don't make any difference.

Hey, Norm.

Norman.

You're a good guy.

Cop or no cop.

You understand?

What are you doing?

Oh, take a walk.

Think about what I'm going to do with
the rest of my life.

Company?

No, sir.

Okay, but I'm going to stay here until
you get back, though.

Thanks.

If you're going by a convenience?

Orange flavor, big pops.

Yeah, I remember.

Only if it's on the way.

Hello?

Yes, Warren.

Okay, I get the idea.

Thanks for trying.

Good night.

Bunce is out.

Couldn't keep the punch out of the
papers, huh?

Nope.

Give it a month or two to settle down.

It's not the kind of thing Daniels
forgets.

You're feeling guilty as hell. It's all
your fault because you can't save him.

I'm sure he didn't expect you to pull
this out.

Look on the plus side.

The station's still standing.

The prostitute killer's off the street.

And somebody decked the chief. I'd say
it was a break -even day.

Hey, Norm.

Can you believe that?

With all the fire and everything else,
this whole place is still sound.

Believe that.
