Original subtitles

Yes,

Captain. One male infant, two female minors, about a 30 -year -old male and

female, and an elderly couple. All in the same room? They're all over the

Hell shot out of the whole place.

Neighbor called it in. Didn't see any faces, but he's sure it was gangs.

This is Captain Carrillo.

I wish I had seen what happened better, Captain. I understand. We appreciate

your calling it in.

This is a terrible thing.

This is a good Christian family.

I don't know why those gang boys would bother them. You sure it was gangs? Oh,

seen the outfits they was wearing. Two of them coming out.

That's a family inside.

That's seven lives gone.

You want night shift to stand us, Captain?

We'll take care of it.

see this? This is a search warrant. We're looking for weapons or any kind of

evidence connecting with the crime of 133 Tinkham.

Hey, hey, hey, toss it, please. I said toss it the freaking way!

All right.

Now we're going to talk.

Item to last, people, a cautionary from Division.

It seems that some bunco players have come into possession of the membership

rolls of the policeman's auxiliary, and they're peddling bogus discount packets

for Hawaiian vacations, lest... Our spouses be gulled.

And that's it. Let's have a safe shift.

Robert?

Sorry, it's about Andy's and my assignment. I was wondering if maybe we

follow -up on the Timpkins Street shootings.

Oh, I understand the impulse, Robert.

We're responsible to the entire precinct. What's this?

I was just trying to get us reassigned to the Timpkins Street shootings.

Yeah, well, if all's well on mine, I just need to do our own routine patrol.

Sector 4? Yeah, Sector 4. That's what you assigned us, right? We're sitting

right there and you said Sector 4. That's right.

That's right. Okay, let's do it.

SI's 30 % completed on the house. No usable prints as of yet. We have one

witness. He saw blood colors, no faces.

Nothing on a warrant search of blood headquarters or a side interrogation of

gang members. So we're conducting a door -to -door canvas for possible further

witnesses. In other words, we're no place.

The massacre of the innocents. You know, I don't think that's incendiary, Frank.

I think that's exactly what the public feels. Henry, don't we have charges

pending against Alfred Williams? Who's Alfred Williams? I just popped him out

stolen check beef. He's a gang kid? He's 80 % out. I've been working on getting

him out. Suppose we deal down his charges in order to get his cooperation.

Look, I've got $2 ,800 left for witness compensation.

All of it is available for a bust in this.

I just don't want to spend the next two weeks watching them recycle this

headline, Frank.

Keep me sick with the captain, Norm.

I worked two years with that kid, Frank. He's charged with a felony. He says

he's innocent. Henry, I have seven people killed and not that much of a

Maybe Williams can give us some evidence.

Let's let him decide whether or not he wants to cooperate.

Norman, will you work with Henry on this deal down?

Sure thing, Captain.

You don't trust me to carry out your orders? Detective Bunce was the

officer on the stolen check charge.

I think Della Croce has only one L.

All right, let me see if we gotta redo the warrant.

Aloha! It's the island greeting. Aloha.

Undercover with Belka, huh?

Yep. See how quick I figured that out?

I may have protected myself one day, am I right?

What's up?

Oh, yeah, I know, I know we can't say anything like that, that, uh, that we're

seeing each other, but I just wanted you to know, uh,

you know I dig you.

Patrick. Right.

Cool it. No, you're right. You're right. Take it.

Check out the new Bannum Bake. Come on.

Yeah.

What you're looking at is heat sensitized and voice activated.

You with me? Heat sensitized selects the category. Just put your hand on the

picture of the food as in pastry, sandwich, fruit, whatever. Your

selection is voice activated as in donut.

That's marvelous.

May I?

Yeah. Of course, why they put a state -of -the -art machine in a battle zone

like this is something you'll have to ask my superiors about.

Pearls before swine, or... All right, now, I put my money in, and I've

my product area.

Tasty, right? Now just tell it what you want.

Please give me a... No, no, you don't have to be polite. It only hears the one

key word.

Hey, look at that. Gee, that really is your modern miracle, Irv. Yeah, Rube

Goldberg's got the patent. Heat sensitize and your voice activate. It's

like watching an elephant pick up a pea. Yeah, I expect sarcasm from you, Rube.

This thing got Twinkies? Yeah.

Just put your hand on the category, pastry.

You've only got two quarters.

Go ahead, don't make the change.

Now say what you want.

Twinkies.

Woo!

Now she'll act like she doesn't know you from Adam.

Okay, okay, what's bugging you?

You should have consulted me. You don't volunteer us for duty without

consultation.

You're right. You're right. I apologize.

Do not go looking for trouble, Bobby Hill. If you don't understand that on a

when seven people get killed sleeping in their own beds, I don't know how to

begin to explain it to you.

Thinking what if it had been Daryl and the baby?

Yeah, exactly.

Let's see what's happening with this methadone clinic.

I hate this job.

Don't use it.

All right, let's go, gentlemen. Time to make your deposit.

All right.

see your ID right now. Get up against the wall right here and spread them out.

See? This is what you get from being greedy, man.

This is what you get from not showing a little generousness. Shut up!

You know, this is a familiar odor that I am trying not to place.

Yeah, he's the one! He did it! He sells this filthy stuff! I'm sick of it!

You know what this is, Bobby?

You know what product I think this merchant is dealing in?

He'd start to hit me again with the success rap. I'm on my way up. We're

to do pounds.

So I tell myself, see where it goes.

Well, you've got to trust that.

Check this out.

Make a million before you're 40.

Gave you this.

Hi, Ronnie.

What is it? What's good? How you doing, Ronnie? What's going on? Check this.

Listen to this. Are you ready to get dragged?

I am not in position.

Why not?

My people stalled on me. I can't get situated till 2 o 'clock. Well, she will

tell you, man, this is not how I want to do things. You see, I say Acropolis

Coffee, 9 a .m. Ba -bing, I want to show up. Ba -boom, you got your package, I

got mine. Ba -bang, we check it out, we do our thing. Next case, we're back in

the street before 9 .01.

Honey, you read that book I gave you? Yeah. Did you read that chapter with

Promness? Promness buys credibility.

Credibility buys trust.

Honey. Yeah.

Well, you have the product you told her about at 2 o 'clock.

What's your name?

Mick, I'm going to be here.

I'm going to be holding as advertised.

You want to know another thing? You ain't ever going to have to tell me your

name again. See? Because remember names, remember faces, don't remember you.

Mick. Two o 'clock.

What do you think?

Think you did me a headache?

Thanks, Mr. Rollins.

You amaze me, Neil. How's that lover?

They tell us we don't know squat.

We didn't hear anything last night, and you still stand there and you take down

their names.

Well, the book says take names, lover. Hey, what does it say in the book that

do a house -to -house over 800 yards from where the family got killed? I

the captain's getting carried away on this.

Well, this is the last one, lover.

Police officers?

Yes, ma 'am. You were at Lewis Leonard's house a few minutes ago. She just

called me on the telephone.

Small world.

Ma 'am, seven people were killed a few blocks from here last night.

We were wondering if you saw or heard anything around 2 a .m.

Yes, I did.

What did you see, ma 'am? Plenty.

But before I cooperate, you have to recover something very valuable for me.

What's your name, lady?

Doris Brayfogle. Well, Mrs.

Brayfogle, this ain't exactly a barter situation.

Well, let's take it, ma 'am.

My husband's reindeer sweater.

Oh, for crying out loud.

The thief is not further than 50 feet away from where we're standing. And I

right where he has got it hidden.

Neil, you see the coke bottles this old broad's using for glasses?

She probably looks in the mirror and then dials 911 to report an intruder.

Ma 'am, we get you your sweater back. You going to tell us what it was you

Absolutely.

Last house, lady.

We got nothing to lose.

He's right over there.

I don't know, Neil. The sinister sweater thief. You think we should call for

backup? You sure that's him, ma 'am?

Yes, the brazen little greaser.

Check out that pompadour. Worst comes to worst, we can bust him for building

without a permit.

It's over there. Right over there. You see?

Hey.

What's going on?

Lady says you took her sweater.

Lady's got her head in a wedge.

Hey, look at here, J .D. Hey,

now, a personal use. A medical necessity.

Now, what am I supposed to do when my cataracts act up?

This is your lucky day, pal.

We got what we were looking for. You can go back to melanoma land.

Thank you. I'm so grateful.

Your turn, ma 'am.

Excuse me?

It's your turn, ma 'am, to tell us what it was you saw last night.

About those seven people getting killed, remember?

I'm sorry. I fibbed. I knew it.

I acted like I didn't know it, but I knew it.

Ma 'am, you didn't see anything?

I slept through last night. I didn't wake up once.

It's really not like me. I've got to take an early retirement.

You should never do this, ma 'am.

Lying to the police.

I think it's terrible what happened to those poor people.

I'm going to stay up all night tonight.

I'm going to help. You'll see.

Neil, why don't you get me out of here with what's still left in my mind?

lawyer here if you want.

It's okay.

Correct answer number one.

We think the blood were involved in the killings on Timken Street this morning.

I don't know nothing about that. But you're friends with Carl Mann.

So would I keep tabs on it? Carl Mann is the head of the blood. Come on, kid.

Don't be stupid.

We want you to wear a wire.

Try to get Mann to talk about what happened. Oh, no.

No, no, no. Hey, you were staring a felony popper for the check thing,

wouldn't start shaking my head so soon.

Alfred, how much money you save toward art school in the eight months you've

been out?

Don't save much.

Behind minimum wage, working two jobs a night.

That's your choice.

I'm not telling you what to do.

But you could get a deal down on the bad check arrest and witness payment as

much as $2 ,000.

Get your life started.

You know what happens if Carl figures out what I'm doing? Hey, nobody pays you

two grand for picking up soap, Alfred.

It is your decision. I didn't steal that check.

This is what being my friends all been about.

Setting me up for the snitch.

No. Hey, kid, a skip off the bad paper and go to art school and stare at naked

women? All you should be asking is when's the bus leave?

Okay. Here.

Do it. There.

And the duck comes down.

bad this morning?

Feeling better, huh?

Remember last night we were talking about seeing a movie and you said you

weren't feeling so hot?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel fine today.

Wow, what's the problem, Goldstein?

Piece is worth at least 200 and a half.

Help the officers?

Oh, uh, mind if I finish my business first?

Okay, okay, then sell it, okay? I know it's worth two yards, so... Can you

ownership of this? I mean, you got a receipt or something, sir? Well, why

I keep a receipt?

It's a gift.

Well, what is this, huh? Well, we had a 911 complaint. Somebody fit in your

description selling stolen jewelry at this store.

Oh, yeah?

Hmm.

Okay.

Yeah, I get it.

I know what she's doing.

Your three balls out front, I hope they rot and fall off.

Hold on. Hey, hey!

Hey, I earned this, okay?

I already put my time in for this.

Okay, what do you say we figure this out down at the station? Straighten it all

out. Put the other nail in, Sylvia.

Come on, Sylvia, finish me off. Hey, I don't know who Sylvia is, but you better

calm down.

Hey, where are you rushing to, Neil?

Captain's just going to tell us to widen perimeter.

Fix your wonder machine, Earl?

Ho, ho, ho.

Just a minor adjustment problem, Sergeant.

Tripwire for the pastry category was too audio sensitive.

Come on, honey.

You give up a ham and cheese sandwich and Tony's going to be real.

Nice to meet you. Would you please curb your lascivious display, madam? That

machine requires currency.

Ain't what I heard.

Heard you talk dirty in this hill. Turn yourself inside out.

Calm yourself, Irving. This place doesn't deserve a machine like this.

It started with the silver, then the Ming vase.

Now every time I'm gone 20 minutes, he's taking, he's talking.

We'll put it all on a complaint form, ma 'am.

and still an attractive girl.

There he is.

There he is.

Do you have to do that?

Having men with criminals?

You charged him with theft, ma 'am. That's a crime.

I'm just wondering if maybe I did the right thing.

I mean, look at him.

Those Spanish eyes.

Hair of a poet.

No hips.

You know what it's like when a man with no hips tells you he loves you? Not for

anything, ma 'am.

That brooch you said was worth a grand?

More. Well, no hips was letting it go for a quick deuce when we picked him up.

Now it's up to you.

Sylvia.

A bird of paradise.

What you paradise me.

She's not sure.

Look at me.

Look. Look what they're doing to your peacock.

So what is it? We got charges?

You treated me like a piece of bruised fruit.

I was lonely for you.

I was hurt. You didn't.

Take me.

Well, you said you didn't want to go to my sister's.

Vermont Mendez was damn important. He may not be needed.

Miss Selsen's deciding whether she's going to press charges.

You know, the feeling I don't mind, right? Because it's just Selsen, thank

left me with a lot of money.

But he brings other girls to the apartment when I'm not there. Ma 'am,

really need to know is whether you're going to press charges.

Darling.

Charging. For his own good.

You dried up, hag?

Shall we, Mr. Mendez?

Neil, Judy.

Captain. Nothing on house to house on the Tumpkin Street, Kelly. Oh, wait a

second, Neil. We did help that old lady get her husband's reindeer sweater back.

We tend to go blue and get the kids to cooperate.

You be waiting a while. Try to incriminate Carl, man.

Seems like our best bet. He wants to stay on house to house. It's wide in the

perimeter. I'm shocked.

I am something she keeps in a cage.

Like a chihuahua. Like a goldfish.

Goldfish don't get charged with grand larceny, Mr. Mendez. I'm choking.

She suffocated me. To me, I deserved anything I could lay my hands on. No

question. In other words, you did commit the crime.

Technically, yes.

I stole.

I probably can get reduction to misdemeanor in exchange for a plea.

See if you could get me a sit -down with her.

With Mrs. Felton? Uh -huh. Can you get me a face -to -face?

Yes. There is a Santa Claus for a moment.

She dropped?

That's right.

She say if I could keep the brooch?

Captain. Howard.

Rank review panel is getting together materials for your appeal hearing.

Oh,

I see.

Well,

I'm submitting my files, but I thought you might want to look them over before

turn them in.

No.

No, thank you very much.

You wouldn't take this as a... That's a bad sign, would you, Frank? I think

asking for the files is pretty standard.

Well, I hope these people understand that they're dealing with people's lives

here. I mean, I'm not some puppet on a string to have hopes jerked back and

forth like Pinocchio. I think they understand that. Well, first they said

would hear my appeal, and then... Howard, they have to ask for the files.

They have to know what the case is about.

I suppose.

What's the date of the hearing?

23rd, a week from Monday. I know how hard this is, but... Try to put it out

your mind.

No, no, no. That's the way I'm doing it.

Nice and easy does it.

The only area that I've been feeling some strains, it's in the equatorial

regions.

Sorry?

Oh, for the past week or so, I've been somewhat irregular.

Usually you can set your watch by my peristaltic process, but not to worry.

going to start pushing fibers.

I thank you for the...

101. Anytime hard.

Well, I've had everything else happen to me. I suppose it's only a matter of

time before I had a bottle of urine dumped on my head.

Sure, it's clean.

Yeah, put 50 cents in the washing machine and watch the clothes go around

times.

Look at this.

I lost a button, too.

Oh, the street lady.

Oh, it smells like he drank himself to death. He's not breathing, but he's got

pulse. Ma 'am, what's he eating? Did he have anything to eat?

I think he's got his air passes blocked.

Now, ma 'am, what we're doing here is called a Heimlich.

What are you talking about?

She said, take off your shirt. She'll wash it for you.

Why did my shirt do to deserve something like this?

Are you all right?

How far along are you?

Rinko, do you know what's going to happen, Rinko? No, I do not.

Do you think this woman is about to have her baby now?

How strong was your case against Williams on that stolen check you

Pretty strong.

Any chance he was telling the truth about the check in the hallway?

Kid didn't seem too worked up about missing his day in court.

What's going on?

Heard about what happened this morning.

What's that?

Heard a whole family got took down.

Wasn't any of us, was it? Say what?

Wasn't any of the blood.

Man, I ain't got rings and anybody knows this. I don't know everything people

do. I bet.

You see me behind the door in your room when you're doing your drawing?

Uh -uh.

Right. I got you. Hey, what are you asking me about that for?

I ain't asking. I'm saying, wasn't any of the blondes involved?

What you looking at me like that for?

How's that bad check thing going, Freddy?

Didn't get to court yet.

You trying to get some help? You trying to take something to the police?

He's in trouble.

Oh, chill out, Cole. I don't know what you're talking about. Man, I gotta go.

Where are you going?

Just back off me, Freddy. I'm going and you don't want to know where.

Come on, damn.

What? What?

He made him.

Carl Mann made Williams.

He's thinking about it.

You don't know what he made.

People I was supposed to cop from let me down. You don't know the scrambling

ant. Ronnie, you have what you were supposed to bring?

Mick, did I say I would have it? This isn't Echo Canyon, Ronnie.

The answer's yes. Do you have what you were supposed to bring? Yes.

Then everything is everything.

Could I take a little peek?

I was about to ask you the same thing.

It was all worth it, wasn't it?

The trust, the give and the take, to go in the extra yard. Ronnie, they're under

arrest.

This is a joke. It's a horrible taste. It's not a joke.

It's not a joke. It's not a joke. You're under arrest. I know you're saying it's

not, but I'm saying if it was.

I'm sick.

I'm going to pass out.

Let's go, Ronnie.

22 degrees. I'm completely soaked through. Look at this.

Okay, okay.

I'm dealing with the now. I'm dealing with the present.

I got something to treat. I got plenty.

At the station, huh? You think I'm jiving? Believe me, I'm going to turn

thing around.

Señora, vas a teniendo un bambino, pero no equipment.

¿Entiendes? Vámonos pronto.

Por favor, no hospitales. Señora, no hospitales. They're afraid of us.

They're bombados. What does that mean? No green card, they'll be deported.

Notice the things that have happened to tell her that we are not immigrations,

but we're not doctors either.

Alcan, no hay problema con esa policía.

that that is academic right now. Well, go to plan B. All right, ma 'am.

Ma 'am, look at me. Look at me, Mira.

Now, call me Dr. Renko, and when I say push, I want you to push.

Mr.

Delacroce has been given his Miranda rights.

Specifically, he has declined the right to counsel. Correct.

It is understood that if the information Mr. Delacroce provides is substantive

and productive, the district attorney's office will give consideration in

pursuit of outstanding charges against Mr. Delacroce.

Good.

Two kids, Shakey and Dumar, they're moving me an eighth of a key. I was

to pick it up at 4 .30 this morning.

I go there at 4 .30, they're not in position.

Okay? Someone took them off.

They say, come back at eight.

They know who did it. They're going out to get it back.

Eight o 'clock. I go back there.

They're crying.

They're all covered with blood.

They went to the wrong place.

When they went to get their stuff back, the address they had was wrong.

And they kept going from room to room because they thought they'd find the

that took them off.

But it was the wrong house. Shakey and Dumar.

Their blood?

Gang kids, right. Any other gang members involved?

These kids were freelancing. They're looking to step up. Where do they live?

They got a room together, 184 men, but you'd probably find them at the gang

headquarters.

Believe me, I was sick when I heard what they did.

Is that good enough?

Is your office going to give consideration?

You'll be the first to know, Mr. Delacroce.

It's a bargain.

Fair exchange of value on both sides.

She asked for us by name?

Yeah, maybe she's looking you over as a replacement for Ramon. Oh, that's funny.

Real funny. Mrs. Selzen!

Open up! It's the police.

Mrs. Selson?

Me and Ramon.

Trouble in paradise.

Mrs. Selson, you want him arrested?

The peacock?

He could drop dead.

Yeah.

I don't want him arrested.

And why'd you call us?

Well, I'm a practical girl.

I mean, God gave me a tush and no brains.

So I found Mr. Selson.

God rest his soul.

And I gave him three good years before he passed away on that couch.

And then Ramon came and he took from me and he used me.

But he can't do that anymore.

I'm still a good looking girl.

Come on, let's keep you on your feet. Keep walking.

This is Officer Flaherty. We need an ambulance.

1804 Hancock Penthouse immediately.

It's your choice, Alfred.

You can call it off. You don't have to talk to him again.

Yeah, and if you do, kid, the next thing you ought to think about is when's your

trial date on that stolen check beef. Hey.

Do you think he made me?

I'm not sure, but then it's possible.

It's a judgment call, kid.

One thing I do know, you learn every time a bat on something like this.

Next time you talk to him, your moves are going to be a lot better. What's

on?

Recognize him?

One of them's.

Tony Soames.

Sick. I can't make out the other.

Boy, he looks like Dumont.

But I'm not sure of his last name.

Appreciate it. Yeah, they're busting two kids on the Timpkins tree of murders.

I thought you said it was Carl.

What about Carl Mann?

No, Hunter said it was just them two.

Come on, let's go.

How does it feel to be yesterday's news, kid?

All right, don't worry about it.

Who's here?

Worry about your meal ticket, Raymond? What happened?

She took sleeping pills.

I knew it, I knew it. Stupid.

Ask me what stupid's worrying about a drip like you.

It's because you don't know my good side. Is she okay?

I'm admitting it. She's got some kidney problems. I want to follow her

overnight. Sylvia, let it be, Raymond, huh?

Look who's here.

Sylvia, look who's here.

I love you.

Come on, don't leave me.

I love

you. Te

amo.

You think I don't love her?

Yeah, well, I could be over to her apartment right now.

I could be cleaning that place out.

Let's go.

Yeah, you go. You go.

Stay right here.

Stay right here until she's out of the woods.

Oh,

look at that.

Way to go, Doc.

SID reports three usable friends at the murder house...

And those two gentlemen are going away.

Frank!

Where are your people?

Belker.

Russo.

Arrest within 14 hours.

That's the kind of police work we're capable of.

Same day service, eh, people?

Damn fine job. Thank you. I'm going to talk to him.

Officer Russo, I understand you baited the original operation? She wasn't

baited. I made the original buys, yes.

Probably never knew it hit him, eh?

And this guy ramrodded for you, am I right, Frank?

Lieutenant Bunce, could I talk to you for a minute in my office?

I haven't got time right now, compadre. I'll tell you the truth.

When I came in this morning, I wanted to give my TV guy a shot in the chops.

We are staring at unsolved multiple homicides, and he books me on hot seat,

you people got me off the hook. You did me proud.

See you later, Frank. Keep up the good work.

I want witness compensation for Alfred Williams.

Do you hear me?

Henry, this bus came off Belcar and Russo's, turning a drug dealer.

That's not Alfred Williams' fault. It isn't his fault, but the fact is his

cooperation didn't buy this bust, which is how compensation gets decided. This

is great. That kid's walking around with a target on his back. You sure he was

made? I was there. I monitored the conversation.

Rather than asking for compensation, I think I have a better chance... I don't

give a damn what bureaucratic cubbyhole it comes from.

Let me see if I can get him some money.

I'll let you know.

Sylvia. What about her? The look in her eyes when the doctor said she was going

to make it. Like she was disappointed.

But you know she's going to be back with Ramon in no time flat.

You know something?

Ramon is a Jones. I mean, as your idol Mr. Samantha might say, whatever gets

through the night, huh?

Patrick. What, are you getting that feeling like you had last night, huh?

got a headache?

A headache? No.

Because nobody was going to ask you to go to the movies or nothing drastic like

that, huh? Look, Lucy... You look yourself.

I want to be your friend.

And I think I am your friend. So when I say, are you okay, does your head hurt?

It just means... Are you okay?

No, come on. It's no dance of seven veils, all right?

So are you okay?

I'm okay, yeah.

Thanks.

Thank you, Lucy.

suit.

What do you want?

We have to talk.

This is great.

This is perfect. Did you knock on all the doors? Did you show everyone your

badge?

You got some nerve coming in here after what you did to me.

No argument?

Of course.

You're a cop, right?

You can do anything you want.

I wouldn't really expect you to feel any different.

But what you think about me really doesn't matter anymore, Alfred.

The only thing that matters is that you not let this ruin the rest of your life.

I think you all did a pretty good job of that. Do you know what Carl Mann's

gonna think happened?

Hell, everybody in the gang gonna think I gave up shaking DeMar and even gave up

Carl. Here's $200.

And I'll send you more when I can.

I want you to get out of town.

What you talking about, man?

You must be Ellen.

Maybe the department doing this to you can be a blessing in disguise. Maybe it

can be a way to make a fresh start.

Man, you make me laugh.

Want me to get out of town?

Go to art school somewhere. Listen to me, man. Just listen to me.

When I got into war and design, I sat outside that damn school nine

straight days.

I rode the bus downtown and I sat there.

And then turn around, roll back up here until I got the nerve to fill out that

damn application.

I'm a street kid, Mr. Cop. And you come here and you talk about pick up and move

somewhere and go to some school someplace.

I ain't never been. Don't do anything stupid, Alfred. I know what I got to do.

Don't do anything stupid that'll finish your chances for sure. Don't you finish

my chances, Mr. Cop. I got to do something about saving my life. Alfred,

Just get out of here, all right?

Do I still have that much say?

That I can ask you to get out of my house.

My shift is almost over.

Shirt okay?

My shirt shrunk.

Did you see her look at me when she came out? Did you see?

Yeah, I saw.

Did you see the look on her face?

They all look like Peter Lorre, don't they? Yes.

Excuse me.

I'm Rosita's husband, Hector Esposito. Oh, yeah, Hector, please join us.

Congratulations, amigo. You've got a beautiful little girl. Thank you.

I saw your car.

What have you found?

These are for you.

Gracias. Thank you.

Look at this.

Look at this.

What my father -in -law did to your shirt.

Oh, Fritos. That's perfect.

My wife, she thanks you also.

She wishes to know your name.

Um, Andrew J. Renko.

Why?

She wishes to name our baby girl after you.

She wants to name the baby Andrew.

You can name her Andrea.

Andrea?

Andrea Esposito.

We will never forget you. Gracias, senor.

Thank you, Andrea.

Andrea.

Andrea Esposito.

Now, you still hate the job?

You're putting me out.

No.

You offered the kid 200 bucks?

That's right.

You want me to leave the house somewhere, Lieutenant? Leave it alone.

Okay, so the problem is maybe Alfred's gang pals are going to hurt him now that

he's a known snitch, right?

So a couple days from now, we grab Alfred, we kick him around a little bit

public, rehabilitate his reputation with the street creeps. What could be

simpler, right, Norm?

Cover our butts, we take a kid who almost made it to the straight side,

him back into the street. Lieutenant, the kid was hanging bad paper last week.

Let's not put him up there with Mother Teresa.

Henry.

What's the matter, Captain? I went to Daniels.

He'll give Alfred Williams $250 relocation money.

Won't be needed.

I don't think the kid is leaving town, Captain.

Alfred doesn't want to leave anymore. He doesn't want to go to art school. He

wants to stay here and work things out with Carl Mayer.

And that's good for us, right, Frank?

He's back on the street.

We can bust him, turn him, toss him back, turn him around again. He's ours.

Why save a kid when we can use him? Henry, take it easy, Lieutenant. Work's

over. When did you become a bottom liner, Frank?

When did you stop caring about the lives that got chewed up?

I've only cared. Not necessary, Norman. We're through. I'm not through. Well,

I'm through listening, Henry.

And I'm tired of your moral finger -pointing.

If this precinct doesn't run the way you want it to, why don't you find one that

does?

There was a time when something happened in the precinct. My first instinct was

to get Henry's judgment.

Now I find myself hoping he won't be primary cops, so I won't have to get him

involved in the case.

Do you think he feels that?

Probably.

Chicken and the egg.

It's not just professional disagreement.

I don't know how we let ourselves get so far apart.

Fella don't have that many friends, Ferla.

I mean, I don't think I was wrong, necessarily.

But I don't think it was necessarily Frank's fault.

He was probably doing what he needed to make the case.

But, you know, I can get up there. I can get up on my high horse.

Why don't you call him?

Who, Frank?

Maybe later.

This lady today, she's keeping this guy.

And every time she walks out the front door, this guy hocks everything that

isn't nailed down.

Me and Bates popped him.

And he's dead to rights.

But she decides she doesn't want to press charges.

This afternoon, she takes a whole bunch of pills.

Belker and me had a wiggy guy today, too.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Did I miss something?

Yeah, I was trying to tell you that this lady couldn't keep her self -respect.

I'm sorry I missed the point.

You know, it's okay.

Never mind.

Well, let's just do it again.

Okay?

All right.

Someone shot Carl, man.

Two eyewitnesses, Captain.

First time I ever heard gang kids ready to make an I .D.

Alpha Williams, man.

He called Carl out, then he shot him.

What do I want?

Write descriptions on file.

I'm sorry it turned out this way, Henry.

Good night.
