Should be a quiet shift, Norm.
No appointments, no major operations pending.
Don't give us a thought, Captain.
Oh, Inspector Scapezzi says a private design consultant may be visiting today.
All right, we'll handle it.
City Comptroller for you, Captain. Mine, too.
Frank? I got it.
Lieutenant Butch.
No captains off the day I'm in charge
Yeah, sure
People, this being Portuguese American Citizenship Week, be advised the city
fathers have renamed Blackstone Avenue in honor of the late distinguished
councilman from the 7th District. Henceforth, traffic citations on said
thoroughfare shall read Alberto Juarez Aguilera Avenue.
Alberto who?
No offense to our Portuguese brothers, sorry, but that is County Route 104, so
couldn't we just write the ticket?
Happened on County Route 104. Instead of having to learn a foreign language, it
has glottal stops. Community relations matter, Andrew. You can take it up with
Lieutenant Goldbloom upon his return. In regards to which, item 10 relates in
that both Lieutenant Goldbloom and Captain Ferillo are oars to combat
Sitting on the orals examination panel for a new lieutenant.
Taking station command, Lieutenant Bunce.
Assignments.
Assignments are successful. Buy and bust operation continues in the Jefferson
corridor.
Mintz and Russo, keep up the good collars.
Bates, Flaherty, Aldrich, Jackson on backup.
Hartnett called in sick this morning, so Butler rides with Kerwin.
Does Lieutenant want a word?
Yeah.
Yeah, if I could just have a minute here.
I got some news, and it stinks.
We're losing our overtime pay.
It looks like we're going back to taking overtime in days off. You're joking.
You know, I am the PBA representative, and this is an unconstitutional... Hey,
what's going on, Lieutenant?
Well, I just got off the horn with the city comptroller, and it seems like
there's a problem with our portion in the statewide asset forfeiture grant.
You mind translating that?
All right, now, we all know that... ever since Proposition 9 was passed, that
the city hasn't had the cash to put our overtime pay in the budget, which means
that we've been using the money from this state program.
The city doles it out to each precinct based on how much dope we pull in. Now,
it looked like we made our quota, but them bean counters downtown say they
a mistake now.
They have now decided that the credit on that Mackler bust, one quarter of a
million worth of soda, goes to division and not the other. Hey, we made that
case. We tailed Macklemore for a month. Division didn't come in till the end.
I'm not here to argue.
I mean, decision's final and there's no appeal process, which means we are 130
grand short of our quota.
When's the deadline?
Tonight. Goodbye, Greenback. You know what happened.
You know division came up short on its quota and stiffed us.
They always do that. All right, look, look. There may be a shot here.
I mean, 130 grand is just a drop in the ocean of abusable substances out there.
Think about it.
Normal course of business, we want collars. Bust that stick.
Today, we are looking to confiscate dope, period.
Hypothetical. You know a guy's dirty, you pop him. Turns out probable cause to
search won't hold up in court.
Unfortunate, but it happens.
Suspect walks.
But...
The contraband stays right here in custody.
You say that if you go, Lieutenant?
Hey, hey, hey. I say that? Anybody hear me say that?
All I'm saying is we are 130 grand short of our quota, and we got seven and one
-third hours to do something about it. Yes!
Dismissed.
First it's the moonlighting, now it's the overtime.
I just found this great apartment over in Rivington.
Built -in microwave, carpets, curtains, everything. Carol Ann started her own
cookie business in order to make ends meet.
I'm supposed to be the breadwinner. It's a deliberate... I know. ...on the part
of the city to deprive us of our manhood.
Tell you, man, the only thing I'm going to worry about today is... Don't!
Let's take it easy.
No problem.
What do we got here, Rico?
What's happening, man? Shut up!
Now, we're looking for a man named Otis Yates. Have you seen him? No. How about
you? You seen him? No, I never heard of him, man. You are a liar!
Who is he?
I am looking for Otis Yates. If you see Otis Yates, you tell him I'm looking for
him, all right? Do you understand?
Get out!
Who in the hell is Otis Jenks? Otis Jenks was one of my friends in third
He had great big ears and big glasses on his face.
What?
That's my Norton.
Your Norton was stolen two years ago. Don't tell me I don't own my own bike.
That's my Norton. Come with me. Come with me. Come with me. Come with me. Get
out of my car. Get out of my car.
That's my Norton. I don't know anything.
So let's do this, though.
Hey.
Hey.
Are you doing business here or what? Yes. Patience, muchacha. I'm busy.
Please, don't insult Carmelo. His stuff's 85 % pure, huh?
Final offer.
I'm telling you, I'm too soft for this business.
Carmelo would dearly like to party with you sometime.
Okay, guy in the long maroon coat, he's got my bills.
It was that chick, right?
She's a narc, huh? Get in on this. I'm telling you, man.
Let's go. Hands on her. Hey, come on. Okay, okay, okay.
What do you got?
Blinded by Tatas. Oh, I see him. I see the motorcycle.
What? The big Norton. Purple stripe on the tank. You got it. Where'd it go?
Turn a narc out. Head north.
This guy's a righteous man.
Spirit Schuster? Yeah, go ahead, Lieutenant. 60 % purity.
60 %?
Come on, that stuff's better than that.
That's 6 .4 grams at 60%.
$572.
$572.
Lieutenant?
Yeah? You getting everything you need there, Wally? I know a courtroom
bag when I see one. This dope came from your own property cage.
You can even see the staple marks where the evidence tag has been removed.
Oh.
Looks like you're right, Wally.
Dee Dee, you put this back where it came from and you report to my office
immediately. Yes, sir. I thought it would work.
You can understand the men are a little excited as all.
Friendly scales now, Wally.
Black tar heroin.
Glut on the market at present.
Book value way down.
The lady's name's Walter Pandovich. Caught her dealing outside a cut -rate
lingerie store.
Come on, give a guy some credit. It's a marketing gimmick.
I'm straighter than you.
I'll take the merchandise the way you love it.
Theo, how many times do I have to tell you lavender is not your color?
Stop!
I mean, what? I'm telling you the truth, people.
Yeah? If you're such a big snitch with the division, what are you doing out
there dealing on the street?
Well, you know about the economy. Man's got to have two jobs to make ends meet.
The phone call won't hurt, Luce.
Captain Hart will vouch for me, I swear.
You can let me off with a warning, huh?
I got no time for this shit. Will you file a report? If only life were that
simple, but someone wanted stolen, wouldn't look... particularly wholesome
police report, Norm. Hey, hey, hey. You're wasting my time to tell me that
somebody took some hot goods from your place.
He was calling it for somebody. Drop off the earth, Sid. Wait a minute. Don't
you want to hear the explanation, Norm? I've got to pull it.
Weekly 147.
Raymond,
you've been doing this job long enough. Show some initiative, huh?
Norm. Look, I am going to close my eyes now, Sidney, and when I open them up,
you are going to be a thing of the past.
Right there.
Come on. What is this?
Norm. I understand you're in charge, Lieutenant.
Yeah. I'm working with PNR. My name is... You're in charge? Excuse me.
made it to the top, Norm? Is that what I'm hearing?
I said I knew that you could do it. It's only fair. It's only what you deserve.
Sidney Thurston always backs the right horse. Congratulations.
Now. Yeah, sure, right. Is this the way you're going to treat the little people?
The friends who help you get where you're going? Get out. All right. Think
it. Out.
Now. It's just...
This is just some creep now. So, uh, you were saying? Planning and Research
Division. I'm consulting.
I'm Laurie Tuttle, design efficiency expert.
I'll need a couple of hours with you to go over color schemes, swatches, floor
plans. Whoa, uh, we're a little busy today.
It's a prototype study, Lieutenant. How color influences environment.
Design determines decision. Uh, Sergeant Hunter, uh, could you, Norman?
This is, uh, um... Laurie Tuttle.
We've met. Good. Take care of her, Sergeant, all right?
Shall we start with a tour, Miss Tuttle?
Lieutenant, have you reviewed the Panovich bust this morning? I've been a
busy, Miss Davenport. You tell me where detectives LaRue and Washington have
probable cause to search the purse Mr. Panovich was carrying.
Looks murky. Murky? Try outrageous.
Raymond. Sir?
Kick Mr.
Panovich. Yes, sir.
Hate to waste taxpayers' money on bad police work. Anything else?
Camello, bad news.
What did Captain Hoffman say?
His exact words?
Camello's a hump. Let him rot.
Cops, they break your heart every time.
45 seconds.
40. They're slipping.
Used to be what he got to call by now.
Attention units, vicinity 418 Hudson.
Call reporting sounds of a struggle.
Apartment 102.
They left out the woman screaming.
Detectives Washington and LaRue responding.
up the victim in the closet.
Neil, I believe there are controlled substances on the premises. You ain't
no warrants. Warrants?
We're answering a distress call. Oh, oh, oh, my. Look it. A cocaine burrito.
Just deliver. Hold up, you scumwad.
Your friends suffer from high blood pressure?
Huh, Stevie?
I've often felt that a camouflage motif would fit nicely.
By the way, Miss Tuttle, did I mention that I designed the eater uniform?
Several times. All right.
Last name.
I already gave you that.
Spell it.
Brisoni. B -R -A -Z -O -N -I.
First name?
Fetch.
You got a dog's first name?
It's what they call me. Something to do with biting people, maybe?
What's your real first name?
Louis. Louis Brisoni, Jr.
How's Louis Sr. gonna take the news we got you down here?
You know when you find him.
Detective Belker.
That's right, Mrs.
Brazoni. You've got to come down here to sign your son out of custody.
Well, what time do you get off work at the diner, Mrs. Brazoni? You don't get
off work until six o 'clock.
Can I talk to her?
Hi, Mom.
It's nothing.
Don't worry about me, okay?
I'll be fine.
Did you take your emperor?
You mind?
You ran out of medicine.
Shouldn't you just leave it in the kitchen?
Do that a lot.
Yes, you do, Ma.
Now listen, tell that creep Robinson not to make you work on the busiest tables.
Gotta take time off your feet.
Okay. Me too.
So what do I do till six?
Make license plates?
Well?
$44 ,200.
Hey, hey, hey. We got a new total, folks.
$44 ,200.
Thank you. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
Overtime pay, here we come. All right.
I understand you got a special detail this afternoon.
Yeah, I got a 406 on Decker at 1 ,500 hours.
1 ,300.
There's 704 for you to sign, Lieutenant. Oh.
Down here, sir.
Yeah, I can read.
Lieutenant?
Inspector Scabese.
You got a minute?
Yeah, sure.
Look, if this is about all the activity in the street... You met on this...
Tuttle this morning, Lieutenant?
That's with all the wallpaper swatches? Yeah.
I, uh, got her the job.
Of course, what do I know about interior design, right? That means she's
probably real good at what she does. Oh, she is.
Yeah. I met her a few weeks ago, and she's very impressive.
So, how can I help you, Inspector?
Well, Laurie, Miss Tuttle.
Called me this morning, and she was a little teed off because she wasn't
with the man in charge.
I sort of promised her she'd be given priority.
Listen, we hardly know each other at all, Norm, but if you just gave her an
or so of your time, it would mean a lot to me. And it could mean a lot to you,
too, someday.
Capisce?
Say no more, Inspector.
Forget interior design, Lieutenant.
We're talking architecture.
Come on, cowboy. Let's just get back to the station and log all this junk in,
okay? Oh, my Lord, that's my bike.
Yes, Sergeant.
Yes, sir.
Lee Terrell is next.
I'll call him.
Oh, just a moment, Lieutenant.
First, I want to pass on this conversation I had with Chief Daniels.
Well, you saw that Sunday magazine piece about how we're falling short on
minority promotions.
Only three blacks made lieutenant in the past two years.
Now, Chief's pretty upset about that situation.
Translation? Daniels wants to press off his back.
Where are you going with this, Mike?
Lee Taylor's a good man.
He also has the highest written score of any minority candidate we're seeing
today. Are you suggesting we give Taylor special consideration?
What is this, Frank?
Your department's subversive is going to cause trouble again? I think it's a
legitimate question.
All right.
All I'm saying is I think you'll be impressed.
Okay.
It wouldn't hurt to keep the big picture in mind, Frank.
Sergeant Taylor?
Uh, every lunch break should be like this.
Great way to diet.
I'm still starving. Come here.
Come here.
Come here.
Patrick.
Patrick.
We gotta get back out on the street.
We'll never make our quota.
Work.
Work, work.
Hey, listen, how about a movie tonight?
I told you no.
How come you don't want to be seen with me?
Patrick. You know, maybe, maybe I should play a little harder to get, huh?
Respect myself.
I mean, I could go out with individuals who don't mind being seen with me in
public. Maybe you ought to.
I'm just... kidding around.
I just don't think it's such a great idea for us to be seen together yet.
go to the movies together all the time. It doesn't mean anything.
Isn't it a nice day out, Patrick?
So sunny.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's good, huh?
What'd you say to that?
This is anchovies and cream cheese.
So what's the deal?
This nice guy routine.
Somebody bites me, I take an interest.
Right. This guy you work for, Demetrius, if you keep running with him, you're
going to wind up dead, kid.
Oh, I get it. You want me to set up Demetrius.
Well, let's get something straight.
I'm no rat.
Demetrius may be cheap. In fact, I know he's holding out on me, but... Look,
Demetrius is the bad guy. I'm the good guy. It's time you started learning the
difference.
Help me nail him. I can help you.
Yeah, how?
You gonna give me money?
No, I'm gonna help you in court.
I'm a juvenile. They can't touch me. They can if I add assaulting a police
officer to the charges, kid.
I'm no rat.
No, you're not. You're a dog. You bite people.
Color neon will dramatize the urban spectrum of crime, of violence, of life.
Your input, Lieutenant?
My input?
Keep it a police station.
Michelangelo designed a bathroom.
Uh, you lost me.
We must shed our preconceptions about space.
I mean, when Michelangelo looked at a bathroom, he didn't see a bathroom. He
opportunity. You want to see our bathrooms?
Is it all women or just me you refuse to take seriously, Lieutenant?
I was, uh, being serious.
You want to do an interrogation, eh, Lieutenant?
Great, excuse me.
You're done.
You're over, both of you. Careful, Winston. You're gonna stroke out. Yeah?
got a problem? You got a disaster, Bunce. He busted a dope dealer,
This guy was with him. Winston, detective, first grade, you can check me
with the vision.
Your playmates here stiffed a call.
A rookie stunt. All right, slow down.
They made a phony distress call and answered it themselves.
Is that right?
Yes, sir.
I'm shocked. Cut the crap, Bunce. Yeah, I know all about you.
And I know what's going down here today.
And your butt is gonna be in a sling. All right, you lighten up, Winston, huh?
Kick him with the dealer.
Make it look right.
I got a major action going down this afternoon.
And if you clowns have screwed it up, I'm coming back here for you badgers.
Jeepers. Yeah?
We haven't finished our conversation, Lieutenant.
For now, we have. I'm very busy, all right?
Assuming you've never seen Junction before, Lieutenant.
I'm going to explain exactly what this means. It's obvious from this morning's
cases that you have condoned a systematic pattern of illegal searches
seizures. I merely informed them that... In signing this, Judge Walton calls the
evidence against you overwhelming.
Law. Further arrest without probable cause could lead to criminal charges and
punitive damages of no less than $1 ,500 per incident.
In short, Lieutenant, the circus is over.
We have a situation, Miss Davin. I know all about your situation, Lieutenant.
But the Bill of Rights wasn't invented for your convenience.
Looks like you have plenty of time now, Lieutenant.
Let's take another hypothetical, Sergeant. You have an officer close to
retirement who has become unproductive. One day he shows up with liquor on his
breath. What do you do?
You say he's nearing retirement.
A young guy like me in charge, he's not going to be so receptive.
That might be a problem for you, your age?
It's a tough situation.
I agree, Sergeant. But how would it shake down in the station? A guy like
freeloading, probably drunk to boot?
I had this partner once who liked to slack off.
And it made my job twice as hard. To what you're suggesting is that most
this officer would be dumping work off onto others, which would cause
bitterness, lower morale.
Yes, sir, that's right. What would you do to remedy the situation?
Well, I could try talking to him. You mean put pressure on him with
measures? Yes, sir. I guess I could threaten to discontinue the guy's
It's a good thought. But why give the guy a black mark unnecessarily?
Why not suggest counseling first?
Well, I guess I could do both.
First counseling, then disciplinary action if that didn't work.
Well, we've already kept you ten minutes over, Sergeant.
I want to thank you for your patience and the results will be up tonight.
Thank you, sir.
Next candidate, Lieutenant.
Sorry, Lieutenant.
Really thought you were going to make it.
It ain't over.
We got you till the end of the shift, Wally. You keep your butt screwed to
chair.
Wanton violation of rights. We didn't violate any rights.
Apparently, we're the only ones who didn't.
Well, let's go back to the street and make some more good busts. Yeah, $30
worth in three hours? I don't know about that.
You think you can just dodge me all day? You're wrong. No, you're wrong, lady. I
was promised...
Hey, access this, Miss Tuttle. You are out of my life.
Raymond, Raymond, you see to it that Miss Tuttle here gets shown around the
station, okay? She needs coffee, you get her coffee. She needs to get in
somewhere, you get her in there. But if you let her get anywhere near me, I will
not be responsible for the consequences.
Another heroic effort sabotaged by intellectual pygmies.
Excuse me, sir.
That's life, huh, Norm?
You're flying high in April, you're shot down in May.
You just solved my problem, Sid.
I did? Yeah. I've been wanting to kill somebody all day.
Norm, wait. I happen to be here to help. I got a plan.
What is it with you?
With you.
Forty dollars.
I'm touched, Sid. This will really help.
Look at the bills, Norman.
Same serial number.
These ain't bad.
Man, don't I know it. I used to have a whole steamer trunk full.
This is what was stolen from your apartment counterfeit 20s? Why don't I
Somebody talk.
The point is, I can get back to the source, Norm. Three Gs gets you 30 Gs
of funny money, which nets you 30 Gs worth of dope through me, which puts you
over the top. Of course, you gotta consider my finders being this. Don't
Which amount you will accept pending appraisal this afternoon? Thank you very
much. Andrew J. Renko will be there with bells on.
Bobby Hill, don't ever let me say anything bad about an insurance company
because once I refund that $800 they gave me when the bike was stolen, I get
back the title to my money.
And where are you going to come up with $800 without cash overtime?
Maybe I'll borrow from Daryl Ann.
Carmelo!
Oh, look at this. Well, judging from the circumstances, this means you don't
have to do if you want me.
I'll mind it for you. You're lucky.
Hey, you're not complaining, Stevie. Who is this?
Who is this? It's me, Carmelo, man.
Carmelo, you know this guy?
Yeah, he's a cop. Sit down here.
Forget it, Sid. They won't authorize the buy money. This injunction's put Bugs
and everybody short.
It's all right, Mom. Time for plan B.
Does this belong to you, Lieutenant?
Oh, yeah.
Told him he could sit outside if he didn't bother anyway.
Caught him trying to lift us from Wally downstairs.
Big deal.
It's all right, honey. I can handle this right here.
That's where you get out the rubber hose. Shut up!
So how does your pal here happen to know who the vision's going to pop this
afternoon? Carmelo.
happens to be an important source.
Meaning he was hanging out at the division and he overheard something.
Exactly. Now, what I am proposing is, in exchange for terms to be discussed,
Norm, you get to use my compadre's information to steal a major bust.
Out from under the division's nose.
I hate to say it, the guy makes sense.
Where's the study of the major action going down this afternoon?
Okay, Carmelo, let's hear the where and when.
Terms, Norm.
If the information pays off, Carmelo's kicked.
And I get my dues back, plus $50 for interceding in this matter.
Okay?
The where and when.
I got the who. It's Bramson.
Jamie Bramson. Forget it, man.
Bramson's a small time.
I don't know, J .D. I always said that he was connected high up. Just could
never make him on anything big.
All right, listen, find Bramson and stay on his tail. We're going to have to
have probable cause this time around, but it's worth a shot. We're running out
of cards.
You're right, Lieutenant.
Yeah.
All right, listen, if you're jerking our chains here, Carmelo, you both will be
making permanent inference in the sidewalk.
Jeez, no.
Have a little faith.
Ah, news of the day. Forty -five minutes after downing two crullers in a large
coffee, Jaime Bramson's on the move again.
I'm telling you, Neil.
Graham says nothing.
Hey, hey, hold on, Dirty.
Hey, maybe that's why we could never get nothing dirty on Bramford. He makes his
deals on the move.
I don't believe that van came to a complete stop. Do you, Neil?
Can I see your driver's license, please? What for?
Running a stop sign.
What's that you got in the back?
Freeze, Branson.
Looks like we found ourselves a pharmaceutical company on wheels.
Is this one an OD, Hal? Okay.
You've got no right to bring me here.
What's the matter? You never saw a dead body before?
Plenty. Rolled a few, too.
Another one, Hal.
Hey, come on.
He's 18 years old.
Died of hypoxia from cocaine poisoning.
her, too.
Does she look familiar to you? Hey, let me go.
Mom, the smell's making me sick.
17 years old.
Developed an abscess from a dirty needle. Amputated her arm.
Died of subsequent infection.
Enough! No, that's not enough.
Burned victim.
But drug -related.
19 years old. Nodded out on his cigarette after ingesting a variety of
and alcohol.
feel good about what you're doing?
Huh?
Has that made you feel like a man?
Stop! Is that the way you want to go out?
I'm gonna be sick!
It was in my hands, Neil. In my hands.
That's all we could, love.
That's the expression on Winston's face.
It was something anyway.
Hey, listen.
Sorry what happened, guy.
Hey, it was a good fit, man.
You guys are terrific, you know that? I'll tell you something.
From now on, I got something, I'm coming to you.
Hey, Carmilla.
Hey, how you doing, Sam?
Let's, uh, you and me have a friendly chat about territorial boundaries, all
right? All right. Lieutenant, uh, could we talk for a moment, please? I thought
I made it clear we're not talking.
I won't cause you any problems.
Thanks.
All right, go ahead.
All the work goes on, Pippin.
Detective Belker requests a backup, Sergeant.
Oh, Lord, Bobby, it's that insurance adjuster who tried to hook me to that
with my Chevy. What are you talking about? The insurance adjuster with the
mechanic. We meet again, Officer Ranko. Harold Sturkle, perennial casualty.
Mr. Sturkle, given the dubious nature of our last transaction, I am appalled you
have the nerve to show up here.
On the contrary, I leaped at the chance to handle this case.
Okay, it's what, $800 minus the depreciation, right? Right. I did some
research, officer. That Norton is now classified as a vintage motorcycle,
virtual museum piece. Well, I know that. It's a high -performance... For which
full compensation present value comes to $3 ,500.
$3 ,500?
Oh.
Problem? We can't do this. We hold title. You're trying to stick me. What
around comes around.
I've circulated your file. The price is set.
Mr. Strickland, I'm going to call your superiors, and I'm going to tell them
what you tried to do with my Chevy.
Go ahead.
Your mechanic is prepared to testify that you, uh, thought the whole thing up
yourself. Uh, look, now, don't you think that we can make some kind of deal
here? Brian, shut up! Shut up!
Brian, are you crazy?
I think it's time for you to leave, sir.
I'll sit around the truck.
In the morning?
Oh, and have a nice day now.
What are we doing down here?
When you yelled at me, Lieutenant, no one has ever talked that way to me
ever. Look, things are getting a little out of hand. I liked it.
I'd like for you to yell at me again, Norm.
What is this, some kind of move?
You stirred something deep inside of me.
Lady, forget about it.
You don't know what you're missing, Norm.
Early retirement, for starters.
I leave Taylor.
I give him a 95.
You'll make a fine lieutenant.
His answers were vague.
Tentative at best.
He was nervous.
He's got an excellent record.
Agreed. But I don't think this man is ready for command.
And 95 is way out of line for a performance here. You're out of line,
Lieutenant. Now, come on, what is it with you?
I thought you was a big liberal in the department, huh? I'm here to give fair
evaluations, not be a rubber stamp for Chief Daniels. General... Oh, yeah,
look, nobody could ever accuse you of going out of your way to make the
department look good. Now, could they go... This shouldn't be a political
process. Oh, I get it.
Now that you got your people in, huh, you want to pull the ladder in after
that it? My people. Cut it out.
Uh, I think Taylor was nervous.
And he was open to suggestions and eager to learn.
Yeah, he's a nice guy. Since when is that a criterion for promotion?
Well, if we bypass Taylor, we may just widen the gap between black and white.
We discourage others from applying who might think they're not going to get a
fair shake.
So you admit this is a political process?
I believe Taylor would make a good lieutenant. I also believe this
lost some credibility, and I think it's our obligation to give minorities every
break possible, short of violating our own standards.
And what about our obligations to the other guys?
Your score, lieutenant?
I think this warrants further discussion.
As presiding officer of these proceedings, I'm calling the vote.
80. Frank?
90.
Combined with his written, that should put Taylor right in line for promotion
this year.
Okay.
David Dunbar.
Clarity and Sergeant Banks. Yeah, we did it.
This is going to put us over the top for sure.
The champagne cooling back at the station.
Okay, that wraps it up.
You were right about Demetrius holding out on you.
Had 10 grand in cash along with the dope.
Cheap, like I said.
You did the right thing.
So can I go now?
Yeah, you could go, Lewis.
Fetch. Okay, fetch.
72 % purity.
28 ,240.
We're short?
Ah, we're still short.
1 ,760 lousy dollars. Ah, that's got to be wrong.
Come on, Wally, we're less than two grand, all right? Give us a break here,
would you? Much as I would like to. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you save it for your
pointy -headed friends downtown. What is it, Raymond?
You told me to take Miss Tuttle anywhere? Yes, right.
We were in the property, Kate, sir, and, well, she was measuring dimensions, and
I had to move a few boxes out of the way, and as I did...
I observed her remove a few packages of evidence behind my back. Drugs?
I'm not sure. I could be mistaken. Out of my way.
Rapper Sergeant!
Whoa,
that sample case a little heavy, Miss Tuttle?
Booker.
Frankly, Miss Tuttle, I'm disappointed.
Oh, go to hell.
You think I'd fall for the same trick again, Lieutenant? I told you. The lady
stole that from our property cage. She's being booked right now, which makes
that fresh evidence. This cocaine has already been counted towards your quota.
You're asking me to count the same evidence twice. It is the same drugs. It
not the same evidence. We are talking about two totally different crimes for
which that soda happens to be the property in question.
We did it, we did it.
We've got our overtime paid.
Yet this world is not a fair or kind place to all.
Captain Farilla is calling, Lieutenant.
Probably to congratulate you, Lieutenant.
You'd think our tanks were rolling through the streets of Hanoi.
Some of the men got a little carried away, Captain, but I think this
was really uncalled for.
No, sir, I never said that.
1 ,400 hours tomorrow?
Captain, I'm not the world's fastest typist.
All right, the report will be on your desk.
Line four, Lieutenant.
Lieutenant Bunce.
Hello, Inspector.
She gave us no choice.
I know, sir, but we caught her stealing dough from our property cage.
It's hard to overlook a felony, Inspector.
No, we can't. She's already been booked, and the evidence has been logged and
counted.
Well, that's not the way I saw it.
Yeah, the same for you, Scapezzi.
Belker's bust looks solid.
I just wanted you to know I'm not looking to overturn based on the
He made a quota.
You know what, Miss Davenport?
I didn't see any courthouses falling down. I didn't hear any decent citizens
complaining.
That's why the city hires people like me, Lieutenant.
To keep a lid on people like you.
Good night.
Good night.
You gotta listen to me.
The only way, pal.
We're talking Filoni's destruction of property, man.
Uh -uh.
That insurance company, they don't know what condition this bike's in.
All they know is that they recovered it. You are not thinking straight.
Bobby.
Inside this machine there breathes a soul.
A soul that I have given life to through nurturing and care.
People like that insurance maggot, all they see is dollar signs.
In their hands, this will suffer neglect and abuse and rut.
I ain't gonna let that happen.
What's wrong with me, Frank?
I take a stand on principle, and here I am a couple hours later, and you know
what I'm asking myself?
What? I'm asking myself, am I a racist? To which I know the answer, I think,
which is that I'm not. No argument there.
Yeah.
I felt the pressure from Daniels, and I resented it.
Resented being told what to do.
Yes.
Henry, just because you're told to do something doesn't mean it's the wrong
thing to do.
Earth to Patrick.
What?
I'm sorry, what?
You feel like a movie? I was just going to go home, make dinner for Fabian. You
can still make the 8 o 'clock. I don't know, Luce. I don't feel too good.
Okay, I can take a hint.
No, really, really. I don't feel too hot.
So maybe next week.
Absolutely.
Hey, fellas. Hey, watch this. A couple of seats right here.
Hey, what's with it?
Lost a friend.
Jack, put another order of onion rings on my tab.
After all, we're rich, right?
That's right.
Drinks all around.
Everybody.
A toast to Lieutenant Mutz.
Wherever he is.
What's this, Norm?
Drinking alone?
The thrill is going to have my head for breakfast.
I'm in a jackpot with Scopese.
What the heck am I wasting my breath on you for?
Innkeeper. Yes, sir?
A double of your 12 -year -old scotch for this man here.
Coming right up.
Come on, Bill. You've got to look on the positive side of things.
Today you were a hero with your men.
Here it is.
Thanks.
Oh, wait a minute.
Let me see that 20.
I just want to see you happy, Norm.
