We think the alligator's still in the ventilation system.

You're in way over your head, Kenny.

Don't shoot!

Now, Walter, I want you to think.

That's all you said. He didn't ask you anything else? No, and I wouldn't have

said nothing, but that subpoena spooked me.

Understandable.

Juries can be very intimidating.

What do I do now?

You know, your first instinct was exactly right.

Disappear.

It's all there.

Count it.

I trust you, Mr. Kaplan.

Walter.

Come on, we're friends, am I right?

Huh?

I want it to stay, friend. Go ahead.

Count it.

Okay.

Relax, Walter.

By this time tomorrow, you'll be far away from here.

Sit tight. I'll come around and let you out. Keep away from the glove

compartment. I'll come around. Just stay where you are.

Rafe, I'm going to escort our guest up to booking. Why don't you take the band

to evidence? We'll go through the treasure trove, right?

Want a lease?

More like a mug.

Dang, dang, dang. The big boys. The big boys tipped you off, right? Walmart,

Kmart, Mert, Mert. They can't handle a competition.

lowest prices.

Lowest prices, you know what I mean?

Mano a mano. That's what I'm talking about. They can't go mano a mano with

How much speed did you take?

What speed?

I'm just thinking. I'm just thinking. Okay. I can't stop the train once it's

a full load of coal. You know what I'm saying?

You know what I'm saying?

Bam!

It's cold as a penguin's ass in here.

You ever see a penguin, you know?

I can't. This loss is deductible. I'll tell you that. I'm not even like an

insurance salesman.

Take this guy.

Don't shoot him. I'm not carrying. Don't shoot.

Get out of the car.

Come on. Come on. Let's go. Out of the car. Hands on the roof. Easy, easy, man.

Come on.

Easy.

You with me, bro? You with me? Huh?

Yo.

Man, you just reached the pinnacle of expression of your individuality by

driving your car through the front of the cop shop, man. This man is a hero.

Captain wants me to take over on Frank. Good.

Frank, are you still conducting your business over Longstreet? No, Frank's

mobile. His chariot awaits you down in evidence. Copy me on everything, won't

you? I would if the copies were working. Don't tell me. Office services walked

out, too?

Sanitation, road repairs.

The mayor needs to fix this soon.

No.

No, no, no, no. No, strikes are good, man. Strikes are good. You gotta, you

gotta, bam, pew, you gotta crush authority. That's what you gotta do. You

what I'm talking about? You still cranking, my brother? Cranking?

Speed?

No, man. Hey, no, no. It's caffeine, baby. It's caffeine. It's legal. It's

affordable. And you got a mocha java pusher on the corner of every street.

Frank, shut up.

Is this the young man that's responsible for our remodeling?

Yes, his name's Johnny Mercado. So far, that's all he's going to say.

You know, I hadn't pictured our lobby as an open patio. Where were you last

summer when the air conditioning went down?

I get a phone call, right? You get a phone call when we give you one, son.

I'll have someone else book him in right now. I need you to roll on a call.

Shots fired on Lincoln Avenue.

Megan took the call. It's her first homicide. I'll guide her through it,

Captain. Jim, that's guide, not drag.

All right, let's go, Chief.

Got a homicide.

Come on, you're with me.

Chief, I got a bit of an alternative problem here. You know, if you use a

the battery's going to drain.

Come on, can we put a pin in it? No, no, no, come on. Jim, I'm on a heavy

deadline here. If I don't get this introductory chapter into my

my committee tomorrow, I could lose all my grants.

That's your dissertation?

Yeah. I thought we agreed that I'd read your magnum opus before you sent it in

for publication.

Jim, this is just for peer review. It's not for publication.

And it's only an introductory chapter.

So I can read the introduction, huh?

Jim, look, you're the subject of an ongoing study. If you were to read this

before we finished, it would invalidate all of our research.

Now stop worrying. There's nothing to be afraid of.

Actually, some of it's kind of funny.

Especially that.

I'd love to tell you what it is, but I can't.

Allison, what are you doing here?

Hi, Tony.

It's nice to see you too, Connor.

Captain thought that we should work together on this one. Is there a

No problem. You can use the help.

I took the anonymous 911 and found him like this.

No suspect, no witnesses, no wallet.

There's a missing ring.

I noticed that. Suggest some mugging.

Marks on the throat imply strangulation, probably a wire.

And there are two gunshot wounds as well.

Hey, Barry, can we get a portrait here?

Now, I thought when you garrote somebody, it's to kill them quietly. Why

the two gunshots?

Well, since the mark on the neck is shallow, the victim was shot from the

It would appear that the hit was interrupted.

The killer probably figured strangulation was taking too much time

to end it with a bullet. You call this a hit?

Yeah. It's your basic mob head, I'd say, yeah.

Interesting theory.

Glad you like it.

See ya.

Judging by the height, I'd say it was a car.

It's fresh.

Blacker base.

You gotta be going pretty quick. Need that thing.

Yeah. Joe!

Do you mind running this over to the lab for complete analysis, please?

What do you think this is all about?

Well, it's always about, Chief, cash money.

Maybe territory, payback.

That's great, Chief.

I hope you're happy now. Battery is D -O -A.

I'll check it out.

What are you going to do?

Hey, you scared me.

My name is Gabe.

I've come to bear witness.

Bear witness?

What are you talking about, man?

What's going on?

They talked with him with smiling words, and yet had met in secret, saying, when

his eyes turn upon our silver, then shall we follow him.

But the Lord had sent a witness, whose feet might yet be brought to righteous

paths. His words would be believed.

You know, I was just thinking the same thing. Come on.

Did you see what happened here tonight?

I'm an angel.

Sent to witness him. Oh, you're an angel.

Oh, I see.

Your wings are looking a little ragged.

Hey, Jeff, come here.

You put this angel stuff aside, I think you saw the murder, man. Oh, and you

think this Tower of Babel testimony is going to hold up in court?

Hey, hey, preacher.

Please get away from the car.

What did you do to Ben?

I didn't do a thing.

Huh? Get me!

Get me!

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What is going on here?

Social services joined the strike.

And with all the beds filled up, the mayor has graciously volunteered the

and fire departments to take up the overflow.

Good karma there, Simon. A little bit of a dislike right now, Sam Burton. Let me

tell you, it's a pain in the butt.

Someone please get this man off of my PA system!

I got it. I got it.

Is this the witness?

Yes. Sennbert says he is, but the gentleman claims he's an angel.

Hello, brother.

Hello to you.

You'll fit right in. We have the heir to the throne of Romania and an

interplanetary walker.

Sir.

No foraging.

All right. What do we have here?

I have possible money.

One at a time.

Homicide. One victim. Possible mugging. I'm waiting for forensics and we still

don't have the victim ID'd.

Is that it?

After you.

The victim was strangled, sir.

Possibly wire.

Shot through the chest. Something like a nine mil.

There was evidence of vehicles at the scene plus Sandberg's witness.

What witness?

Sounds like we're dealing with a professional here.

Sam, I want you to run a point on this one. My spider senses are tingling.

I'll get his photo search started through DMV.

Excuse me, sir, but I'm the primary on this homicide.

I took the call.

Look, Connor, you still need to be run through this department's homicide

procedures. Your past few cases have been, shall we say, a little too

improvised.

Oh, I see. So we're playing by Rafferty's rules.

No, we're playing by my rules.

Same diff.

Who's Rafferty, sir?

Here you go.

Connor!

What's up?

I'm investigating a homicide on East Lincoln.

Detective Allison mentioned a witness. Either of you seen bring anyone in? No,

we've been down here.

Didn't a couple of Jack and Pollock come missing last week? It's a forgery.

Pretty lame one at that.

You got a better looking drop off than that.

Frank was an alligator.

What's this idea of some kind of lockdown?

I don't hear him.

I

don't

believe this. That thing's got to be at least nine feet long.

Teeth are nine feet long.

There you go.

Damn it, I asked for a single mouth scotch.

You know, the only thing in this bar shouldn't be you, honey.

Come on, you rock dead, you jerk.

Hey, are you ever on time?

Did you take care of it?

No, but I know where he is.

Police headquarters.

Well, he's probably given a statement already.

Relax.

He's up to his eyeballs in his own stew right now.

That dumbass drove your Cadillac right through the precinct front window.

Perfect.

And you're telling me I should relax? Yeah.

I made a couple of calls and checked it out.

The kid's up for grand theft auto, reckless driving, destruction of public

property. He's in there locked up. A jail's the easiest place there is to lay

a hip. You just make sure our alibis are airtight.

Leave the kid to me.

I had Juby sit over Johnny Mercado's case file.

Don't look at the duck.

As you can see, he's not a hardened criminal. Those are all minor offenses.

But the kid wasn't just out joyriding.

See that slip of paper? We found that on him.

Well, so he's got a chop shop. These are all spare parts here.

Captain. Yeah, how's it going?

Um, so far not so good. But we think the alligator's still in the ventilation

system. How big you say that thing was? Captain, can't we just get the mayor to

give us a couple of those animal control boys, break the walkout, come and help

us out? Banks, if you can find a felon in a city of two million people, you can

find a lizard in your own damn building.

Now, that's a direct quote.

That's a good man.

You know, I don't know why you're all worrying. I mean, this gator's probably

just catching some Zs, you know, keeping warm.

Actually, if he was warm, he'd be more active.

My brother and I used to go croc spotting with my uncle a few times.

Well, spotty. Well, spotty.

You know, Connor, offhand, I'd say that you are the perfect person for this job.

Congratulations. Be captain.

You're in charge, Connor.

Find me that gator.

Hey, open it up, open it up.

You should see whose car the kid lifted.

Charles Captain, the defense attorney.

Yeah.

Almost made him a hero.

It's not you we're after.

We're after the people that you work for.

So you give us names, you walk with probation. That's how it works.

You think I'm going to sell my friends out for a deal like that?

Your friends?

Let me ask you something.

What kind of friend would get you into this?

Oh, you must live on the rich side of town, huh?

Hey, that's me.

You want to get my phone call? I got to call my mom.

Well, we tried. She wasn't there.

She's at the hospital. She works there.

You sure?

All right, because if she's sick, we can call social services. Hey, you leave

those pendejos out of this, all right?

All they do is make trouble.

The only thing that helps is a little cash to tie moms over.

Look, you got to send me away, you do it. Just don't try to con me that you

care.

You want to make a phone call, go ahead.

Call your mom.

Ask her what she thinks.

Come on.

Hey, Simon.

Look, I called every shelter in town. No luck.

But the Sisters of Hope said they'd send over some hot meals.

Oh, great.

Why don't you have them set up in the break room?

Okay.

Something else?

Uh, yeah.

Actually, there is. I want you to take a look at this. This is Gabe's witness

report.

What the hell is this?

Is this a real language?

Yeah, I actually had to look it up in a couple of different books. It's Aramaic.

Now, no one's spoken this form of Aramaic for over 1 ,500 years. It's an

biblical language. A lot of the Old Testament was written in it. Biblical?

Come on, Blair, you don't really think David's some sort of, uh... Angel? Uh,

no.

No, of course not. But supposed states of possession, angelic or otherwise, are

common in some cultures. I mean, the Yoruba, the Siberian Yakut, or as a

mechanism for modern street people.

Uh, look.

Here's an authorization form. Why don't you go down to missing persons and see

what you can find out?

We're going to need to know the guy's name to go to court.

Thanks.

Brown, this is not the time for a news crew to be running around the station.

Did we get that?

They already know about it?

No, I'll handle it.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Wait a minute.

Somebody please get Howling Wolf off of my PA system!

Captain Banks, Carrie Kingston, Channel 2 News.

You know, I thought this was going to be just another warm and fuzzy piece on

sheltering street people, but who can resist an alligator trapped in the

building's vent system?

Look,

this case, we've already had to survive our lobby being demolished. I was hoping

to save face with this situation.

Fearless cops courageously rescue the city's homeless from a four -legged

fugitive. Film at 11.

Kind enough?

No worries.

Controls are like the one I'm checked out on in Sydney.

I wish no one's doing this.

How's my hair?

Candle's affected.

Who could stare at Leviathan, rope him about the nose and pierce his tongue?

Iron is but strata and brass is rotten wood.

Three, two, one.

This is Carrie Kingston from Task Force Relief Headquarters. And this is Nitro,

the bomb squad robot.

We've seen Nitro locate explosives, but tonight he'll be tracking wild game.

Somewhere in the air ducts which honeycomb this building lurks a

dangerous and probably ravenous alligator.

Now this is Police Inspector Megan Connor, on loan to us from the New South

Wales Police in Australia.

Cascades answer to Crocodile Dundee.

She'll be guiding Nitro as he searches for the gator, and we'll be able to see

it all on this monitor.

Where are we now, Megan?

We're about 30 feet in. The shaft coming up runs over the locker room. We think

that's where the alligator is.

There. There it is. We just spotted him around.

Oh, dear.

Jim,

have you seen my dissertation?

Yes. Oh, where was it? Down in the truck?

Hey, what do I look like, a bank?

Shoot! Go away!

Good evening, counselor.

Oh, if you're here about your car, I'm afraid you came to the wrong place.

It's down in the garage.

Was it damaged badly?

Can you say flatbed?

You'll probably have to get a couple of heinous criminals off on technicalities

in order to pay for the paint job.

What?

You still pissed about the Mantini case?

Jeez, detective!

Get over it.

You can't win them all.

You sure seem to be able to. Yeah, so I'm king of the world. Sue me.

This is for you.

A writ to produce.

I want to see my client.

Save Johnny Mercado.

Is this some sort of joke?

The kid steals your car, now you're defending him?

I couldn't possibly buy this kind of publicity.

And believe you me, this, this is beauty publicity.

And it has a nightline written all over it.

Who wrote this, Geraldo?

Look.

Mr. Mercado made his phone call.

Now, I'd like to see my client.

Pretty, please.

Johnny, Johnny, Johnny.

Can I call you Johnny?

Yeah.

As your attorney, everything we say is a privilege.

Now, I mean...

Nobody can be secretly listening in, so you got nothing to worry about. I'm not

worried.

You should be worried.

And why should I be worried, Johnny?

Because of what you did and what I saw.

You kept that dude.

You and the big guy, the one who shot at me.

Are you sure it was me?

Absolutely positive?

I recognize you from the times you've been on TV.

There's a cop right outside the door. Do you want me to tell him how positive I

am?

I want out of here.

And money.

I want 50. No, no.

I want 75 ,000.

I can't keep boosting cars anymore, you know?

You're a smart guy, Johnny.

Okay.

I guess we have a deal.

See how easy that was?

Huh? Now, you just let me go work a little legal voodoo and this whole thing

will disappear.

Okay? Huh?

Huh? Come on.

Intention to represent.

Warrant for full disclosure.

Rate of habeas. Yada, yada, yada.

Ground rules, gentlemen.

No one talks to Johnny unless I'm present.

What else do you want, Captain?

You can't put a 15 -year -old kid in with general lockup.

All right, he'll stay in the interrogation room until morning. How's

That's lovely.

We're done.

Not quite.

Uh, Counselor, where exactly did you say your car was stolen from?

My office lot.

I was working late.

Oh, and you can prove that?

I don't need to.

Now, if you have any further questions for me or my client, I highly advise

you put them in writing.

You can write, I assume.

He's lying. If he's breathing, he's lying.

I ought to make some phone calls, see if I can't find out what this weasel's up

to.

Where are you going?

Down to evidence. Whatever's going on starts from the car.

Is it offset?

Offset?

Yeah.

He's being kept in the interrogation room, center hallway, 664.

I knew it.

He's going to be there all night, alone.

Yeah, I mean, that's what you wanted, right?

All I...

All I want to know is how the hell do you intend on whacking this kid in the

middle of a cop shop?

Hey, do I quiz you about your professional secrets, huh?

Your hand is shaking.

You don't want me to start having doubts about you.

Hey, sweetheart, turn up the box, will you?

Nitro, the bomb squad robot, is a quarter of a million dollars of

menace. His target tonight, one of nature's true survivors, an alligator,

hungry, afraid.

That's not what she said.

Can she do that?

The rare endangered alligator ended up in the building's ventilation system,

the creature was smart enough to stay far away from its human pursuers.

Unfortunately, we didn't return the favor.

The terrified reptile responded instinctively and fought back.

But a happy ending may still await our scaly fugitive. The city worker's

has been settled at the negotiating table, and having viewed our footage,

Prescott informs us that he'll leave the reptile in the more gentle hands of

animal control.

Sorry, Captain Banks.

Guess you'll have to do without that pair of... Sweetheart, keep the change.

You ever see yourself driving something like this, Jim? You know, big old caddy.

Yeah, me neither.

Something bugging you?

Should something be bugging me, Chief?

I don't know. That's why I asked. It's just, uh... You haven't said a word the

whole time we've been down here.

I think this matches the paint from the dumpster.

This car was at the crime scene?

Oh.

What are the odds on that?

Do me a favor. Run this up the ballistics for a test on that slug. And

have the lab give me a breakdown of this paint sample, would you please?

Appreciate it.

Come on, Chief. Can I get a little space here?

Jim, what's the matter with you?

I don't know. Maybe I'm feeling a little, uh, how did you say it?

Territorially threatened to the point of paranoia. I mean, what the hell is

that?

You read my dissertation.

Jim, I don't believe you. I asked you not to do that.

After I let you stay at my place, I get you a job at the department.

I mean, you don't have enough data. You got to go digging into my ex -wife's

life. The only reason that I talk to Caroline is because she's the only one

knows you better than I do. What has my sex life got to do with your project?

Sex life? What are you talking about? She said you had a fear of intimacy,

Intimacy and sex are two different issues.

Maybe to you they are, Chief, but my personal life and those that are

is intimate to me.

We have three years of our lives invested in this thing, and I'm not

start shading any of it because you're starting to feel a little threatened.

Threatened by you?

I don't think so, Chief.

Well, what else do you call it? I call it a violation of friendship and trust.

Detective Keller, major crimes.

So you're the guy that brought in the rest of the gator, huh? Yeah, Ben Stout.

Saw you guys on TV.

Look, we'll make this quick and easy.

Grab that bag and that, and I'll get the guy for you.

He also got a fear of courtesy.

Hey, Seberg.

Got a positive ID on your angel. According to records, his name is Harold

He taught a semester of ancient history at Portland.

Ah, guess that would explain him knowing Aramaic.

Unmarried, no family. His employers reported him missing two years ago.

Never heard from again.

That is, of course, until now.

You sure this thing's right?

Fingerprints don't lie. I do wonder how he ended up in an alley living out of a

cardboard box.

What's up with that?

You might as well get used to it. State Penn's a noisy place.

You know, I can place you in a car, and I can place the car at the scene, which

is all VA's going to need to place a gun in your hand.

Oh, man, I didn't shoot nobody.

So you were the driver. I mean, it doesn't matter to me, kid.

You're an accessory. I'll put you away either way. It doesn't matter.

I don't have to listen to you, man. You don't scare me. Oh, I hope I don't scare

you. I mean, though I look like I don't scare you, I tell you what I would

think. I would scare a very nice -looking kid like you.

Being the new fresh meat on the cell block.

Hey, man, I don't have to... Listen to me.

You're in way over your head, kid.

Why don't you call your mom? You leave my mom out of this, all right? You just

leave her alone.

Your mother's going to miss you. You know that?

She's going to be on her own for a while.

There's not going to be any kissing, Mommy. Goodbye.

You work here?

Uh, sort of.

Well, I'm fenced out. I'm with animal control. I'm here about a little, uh,

problem.

It's a nine -millimeter bullet, Captain. We found it embedded in, uh, Kaplan's

headlight. Same as those we recovered from the body. And the victim's name was

Walter Miller.

Your DMV came up with a match. He worked on the loading dock when he worked.

Yeah, why would Kaplan go after a part -time teamster like Miller?

There's a major investigation into jury tampering, sir, but no one will confirm

or deny Kaplan's a target at this point.

Can we run a search through the DA's database for any connection between

and Miller?

Yes, we can.

All right, let's do it.

Bring Kaplan in.

Hey, the Lord said, look, and I will send down food from heaven for you.

Gather what you need.

You ever heard the name Harold Blake?

No. You gathered much?

had none left over.

But those who gathered little did not want for more.

Not want for more.

It's from Exodus, right?

You know, Harold Blake would know that quote because he taught biblical studies

on his course.

He was gathered up.

I use this body to walk amongst men.

For he made his angel spirit and his ministers were his flaming fire.

I'm here to work a miracle.

Hi, Ricardo.

Good evening, Counselor. Why don't you approach the bench?

Clap it up, Chuckles.

You're going to need that sense of humor when I slap you and this entire

department with a $10 million harassment suit.

Get your feet off of my desk.

This is recovered from your car, which places you with the scene of the murder

of Walter Miller. Cool your jets there, Columbo.

It places my car there, not me.

My car was stolen. By your client, Johnny Mercado.

Now, was your car stolen before or after the murder?

This doesn't have to be adversarial.

Look, I'd never advise a client to admit it, but I might make certain

discussions I've had with Johnny available to the DA.

Confidentially. He doesn't stand a chance anyway.

Well, you hit the jackpot, Captain.

You sunk to a new low.

You're taking this rather personally, Detective.

Just what exactly is your relationship with my client?

I hope you haven't been letting him spend too much time alone together.

Ricardo!

Hey, watch the suit!

Yeah, that guy is a real piece of work.

Look, I have social services sitting over Johnny Ricardo's file. Maybe

something in here you can use.

If we don't get the kid to roll over on Kaplan, we don't have a case.

Maybe the kid's hungry.

Hey, did you take care of that little problem of ours?

I'm on it.

Won't be long, though.

No.

I'll probably stick to the tune if I were you.

Let's see if, um... You know, I... Maybe I auto -reacted.

Maybe. I know I shouldn't have read your dissertation, and I'm sorry for any

transgressions.

But, you know, I thought we were friends.

Right.

It doesn't read that way to me.

Jim, I said that most of your life choices are fear -based.

It's not as bad as it sounds.

Are you kidding me? It makes you sound like a coward. Well, that's the way you

read it.

You chose to be a Sentinel, all right?

And the way that you deal with your fears, all of them, is based on that

All right, now, fear can be one of your greatest allies. Now, you can choose to

bottle it up inside, or we can work on it.

After this?

So, uh, what do you want to do? You just want to call it quits?

Yeah. Maybe you're right.

Maybe I've, uh, lost my objectivity.

I'll tell you what, I'd rather just be friends. So why don't I just go destroy

my notes? How about that?

You didn't answer him.

What good does it do for a man to have ears that will hear a thousand miles?

He cannot listen to the whispers of his own heart.

What?

You should begin by listening to the hearts of others.

Maybe you could use a snack.

I know you were lying about your mother, Johnny.

She doesn't work at the hospital.

She's a patient in the AIDS wing.

She's not what you think, all right?

All kinds of people get it now.

I know.

Is she on medication?

When I can afford it.

You want to understand that?

Yeah. I make one score, she's covered.

You should think money is all your mother needs.

You're selling her short. You're selling yourself short.

She needs you and not in the joint doing time for something that you didn't do.

Just tell me.

Right here, right now, between you and me. Did you kill Walter Miller?

I'm not a killer.

I don't even hang with killers, man.

All right, I'll see what I can do then.

What's this all about, Captain?

That's him.

He's one of the men I saw do the killing.

This will never fly without a proper lineup.

He was going to pay me to keep quiet.

We talked about it. Looks like we've been cleared for takeoff, Counselor.

I wasn't the shooter.

But I can give them to you.

Name, wearable, testimony, shoe size, you name it.

Whatever you want.

Okay?

Come on.

Do we have a deal?

Motion denied.

You do that very well, sir.

Come on, let's go, counselor. We have a room I'll prepare for you.

Complete with hot and cold running phones.

Very good.

Blending a slammer.

What a thunk.

Sort of gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling in your heart, doesn't it?

Captain, I just got word.

Miller with jury foreman at the trial of Martin Smallwood.

Captain with Smallwood's lawyer.

The clerk at records faxed over the file. Looks like the final deal in his

coffin.

Wait a second.

I know this guy.

He's alive.

Yeah, this is Bank.

The animal control guys are phony.

Find and detain him ASAP.

Hey, Gabe.

Have you ever seen this man before?

His name is Kaplan.

Was he in the alley tonight, Gabe?

Fire and darkness fell upon the land, and the people were afraid.

What the hell was that?

That was an explosive.

Incendiary from the smell of it.

It's got to be Smallwood. He's after Mikado.

You go make sure the kid is safe.

Connor and I will keep Smallwood from leaving the building.

Look after him.

All right, everybody, stay calm.

Do not use the elevator. Use the stairs. There's plenty of time for everyone to

get out.

Are the ones failing?

Yes, ma 'am. Everything's going to be fine. That guy gave. The guy that thinks

he's an angel. Have you seen him? I don't know.

I won't fail you. It's all right, ma 'am. You'll find your dog. Go this way.

Hey, let me out!

Let me out!

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Come on!

Making it look like an accident.

Perry Kingston, live from Cascade Police Headquarters, where our reptilian hero

was instrumental in the capture of reputed murderer Martin Smallwood. The

alligator's been safely collared by animal control, but for now she'll enjoy

very own 15 minutes of fame.

Perry Kingston, Channel 2 News.

I wouldn't get too excited, Captain.

I've been on bail in a week.

Week's a long time.

Yeah, thanks, sir.

Man, that was one hollow night, huh?

Hey, Chief.

You think you can still get the intro to your dissertation in on time?

I mean, you know, aside from the stuff about me, I... I thought it was... I

thought it was pretty good. Really good.

Jim, it's all about him.

Nobody needs to know that.

Let me ask you something.

Between you and me. You think I'm paranoid?

You gotta ask.

You know what I mean?

Thanks. Johnny Mercado's gonna be okay.

D .A. granted him immunity.

Hey, Megan, any word on Gabe?

I just spoke with the hospital.

Gabe made it there okay, touch and go, but breathing.

He's all prepped for a while, the orderly turns his back, and Gabe

thin air.

Yeah, but he's done it before, from the university.

There's more.

I got a follow -up fax on his fingerprint.

Professor Harold Blake officially died of exposure in Chicago last winter.

So Johnny Mercado was saved by a dead man.

That's good.

You know, it's like the Jimmy Stewart movie.

It's a wonderful laugh.

Yeah. Remember how a bell rings and an angel gets his wings?

I've been feeling down and dirty.

Put my head down to my shoe.

I could use a week in Barbados.

A shave and a shower too.

I got the Cascade Police Station.

I got the Cascade Police Station blues.
