Change can't happen overnight.

And like most metropolitan police agencies, we have our share of

I'm honored that the mayor and chief of police have given me the opportunity to

address those challenges under their new administration.

Thank you very much. Come on.

20 minutes ago.

I had to think. I had to promise him I'd have lunch with him today. Oh, you did

not do that. I did, but I probably promised him my firstborn if I thought

get it here faster.

Hey.

What are we waiting for?

Picasso to send us a computerized drawing of precious dough.

Well, at least this city hasn't forgotten.

Check it out.

A four -year -old girl gets her throat slashed? Who'd forget that?

I'm sure the picture will help.

Someone's got to recognize her and call.

Who's that?

That's the new deputy chief.

There was a press conference downstairs.

Shaking hands and kissing babies. God, I love politics.

Captain, say anything about this?

Not a word.

Look, just because there's a new administration doesn't mean the

in jeopardy.

Field Operations Bureau.

Last time a new DC was appointed, he cleaned house.

Sent Captain Beers to traffic.

Beers deserved traffic.

But the captain's got a lot of fans in this city, and she's a woman. She's

to have to rob a bank to get fired.

Anything yet? Any second now.

Officer Washington is working with the FBI cold case squad trying to ID

Doe. Our sketch artists are working on a computerized photograph.

So I guess you'll be using the track system to send it out? Already sent out

teletypes to all 50 states describing what we have and letting them know that

track photo is coming.

That's nice work.

It's the kind of spirit we like to see.

I've got to meet the mayor. I'll see you at 10, Katie. Shaking hands and kissing

babies.

Hey, we got a photo.

Look how beautiful she was.

Come on.

You heard from her yet?

She called me last night. She was supposed to be here.

Fresh as a daisy.

Hey guys.

I'm back.

How are you feeling?

Guess I'm going to have to get used to that question, huh?

It's only natural.

Nobody's seen you for three months.

If you want to talk... Look, Captain, I did my time.

Completed my 28 -day rehab, spent another month in a halfway house.

I have my ticket to return to work, so let's just leave it at that, all right?

I have these back now?

They were all yours.

We went through a lot last year. Captain, I just want to get back on the

I know you probably have a million reservations.

Not so.

In fact, I hope there aren't any hard feelings.

They're none on my part anyway.

None on mine either.

Good.

How'd that go?

Just one big happy family.

There's a body in an alley with a trail row.

Oh, DeBrayna? Yeah, this is Inspector Exeter.

Jenny. Hi.

We're going to have a cake and banner for you.

On my birthday.

Oh, I'm glad to see you back.

Thanks.

I just wish everyone would stop asking me how I feel.

You look great.

How do you feel?

Sober.

Well, a lot of things have changed here.

Angela's gone, and C .D. has a new partner.

Yeah, come on, it's cute.

Listen, Jen, I know it was a really tough decision for you to go to rehab

everything, and I just want you to know that I'm very proud of you.

I'm so glad to have you back. Look, Meg, just don't expect too much, okay?

Because I'm in a really bad mood, and I think I'm going to be in a bad mood for

the rest of my life.

Some women may say they want a nice guy, but they definitely don't want to sleep

with him. Oh, that is crap.

Wait, who's the nice guy in this car?

It was the woman in this car.

Okay.

So, help me out.

We're at a bar.

I see you. You see me. I walk up.

What do you want to hear?

Hi, my name is Brad Pitt.

City.

I'm not going to sit here and tell you how to get more notches on your belt,

because that's really why you're asking. All right, fine. I admit it. I admit

it. I'm a guy. I crave adventure.

I like wild, abandoned sex, you know?

What, you don't believe me?

I think that at the end of the day, what you really want is a miss come home to.

We've been no games, right?

But I still think you're breaking the ice, so help me out.

Okay.

Give me your best shot.

Hi, my name's George Clooney.

There's Sable up there. I'll just pull over.

Hey.

Hey, handsome.

Where have you been? New gig.

My new partner, CD.

You got anything for me?

Madonna. You know her, right?

She's seven months pregnant. You know, still working, of course.

And this guy wants to hook up.

He roughs her up really bad.

I mean, she didn't want me to say anything, but... Think we could get a

description of him? What kind of car he drives?

Yeah, it was a rental.

I mean, he didn't want her to get in the car, though. Probably didn't want to

mess it up.

But here's the kicker.

Last week, Dee Dee, who's also knocked up five months, she tells me she was

beaten up. I mean, by the same guy, it sounds like. I mean, there's some crazy

men out there. I mean, the streets aren't even safe anymore. Okay, do you

Dee Dee could talk to us?

She will if I say so.

Charles, on the button. Okay. See?

Thank you.

Can we get you some coffee? Oh, no, I'm fine.

Um, Kate, I know how big a responsibility you have running this

48 patrol officers, 20 inspectors.

But frankly, there's been some concern downtown.

Bottom line,

your closure rate's too low, especially in the Bayview -Hunters Point District,

and your overtime's too high.

Well...

I hope this is the standard welcoming speech you're giving to all the division

captains because my closure rate is no lower than any of theirs.

And as far as overtime goes, it's pretty amazing that in one breath you're

telling me that I'm not solving enough cases and in the next you're expecting

to improve on that by cutting down the hours my officers are working. That's

reality, Kate.

I need to see your numbers improve.

And until I can go over all your stats, I'm afraid I can't allow you to

authorize any more overtime or supplemental expenditures without my

approval. And one more thing.

Inspector Eckstead.

She completed her rehab.

Well, that's true.

But you're the only one around here who believes she's ready to come back.

Look, Kate, I want you to know that I've always had the greatest amount of

respect for you.

It's my hope that we can make this work.

Really? I thought you were hoping I'd screw up so you could replace me with

of your own people.

I'll be in tomorrow morning to go read a book.

I'll see you then.

Do you want to see your stats for the past year?

Brandon, were you eavesdropping?

No. More than usual.

So where's Gabe now?

He had a gig in New Orleans.

He'll be back next week.

So he gave you a ring and you didn't try it on? Right.

I don't believe you.

I'm not ready, Jen. Gabe knows that. He understands.

Yeah, but you didn't give it back, did you? You kept it.

Yeah. So? So what?

Nothing. Nothing.

Hello, Doc.

Let's talk in here.

This guy, stick a fork in him, he's done.

You can call me Danny.

How many times was he shot?

At least five.

How do we... Yeah, bullets prior to close range.

Want to hear my theory?

The bullet holes start at the foot.

Go to the knee, thigh, torso, head.

I figured that unless this guy was trying to impress his date with the leg

connected to the...

Yeah, it was a torture killing.

He shot him in the foot. He wasn't talking.

You get the picture, Inspector.

Anything else on him?

Yeah, about $110 bills.

You selling 10 shots?

I'll call DEA, see what's going down in this neighborhood.

Thank you, sir.

Oh, boy.

Are you okay?

You know what? No.

No, I am not okay.

Thanks to you.

We have.

I hate to be able to leave a crime scene, dead body, go home, have a couple

beers, relax, live like a baby.

Yeah, I don't get to do that anymore, though, do I?

No. No, I am definitely not okay.

Oh, that's fine. That's fine. Thank you.

Appreciate you coming down.

This is the fourth report we've had on this guy.

So how did he approach you? Was he driving?

Yeah, yeah.

But he didn't want me to get in his car.

It was a rental, I think.

Economy.

Should have known.

So he parked the car?

Yeah.

Got out.

Asked if I wanted to date.

I said, sure.

We talk business, you know.

They give you the money?

No.

I asked them for it.

And they hit me.

Right here.

Right in the face.

How much did you do?

I started yelling.

Drop down.

You know, protect my baby and all.

You got a good look at them, though.

Yeah. I mean, sort of.

I never really look at these guys, you know.

I mean, after a while, they all sort of look alike.

White guy,

that's your bill.

You think I can get another sandwich at some cab fare?

Sure.

We'll be right back.

Homey doesn't.

My card.

My home and cell on the back.

So this is where we're going to be meeting?

What, you expect an office with a nice couch?

Try the peach cobbler.

Thanks, I've eaten.

Really good peach cobbler.

Fine.

Una mas, por favor.

So,

how goes it?

It's all right.

You know, the county pays a crap full of money for this program.

You might as well take advantage of it.

Of me.

I've been right where you are four or five times.

Is that a record?

Not hardly.

Ninety -nine percent of addicts are back to using in the first 120 days.

So why don't I just go out and get myself a six -pack right now and stop

everybody's time?

You're funny.

I like that.

Here you go.

What's that?

Your life.

Personnel file, credit reports.

Why are my credit reports any of your business?

Because hard times make crooked cops.

You're broke, Jenny.

Credit card's maxed out. Your car repossessed.

What are you going to do?

I don't know yet.

You want a drink?

All the time. How about you?

That's a list of all the AA meetings in the area.

I want you to attend at least three a week.

See, well, that's not mandatory.

Meeting with you two times a week is.

You know, you can quote me all the statistics that you want. The fact is, I

wasn't even in that 28 -day hellhole, nor in that halfway house, and I used

term lightly that I just got out of. So you know what? I'm not going back.

You can count on it.

Okay? Are we done?

I am.

I've been doing this a long time, and I can spot a loser when I see one.

You're on spin dry, baby.

You're still damp.

You're nowhere near where you'd have to be to call yourself a recovering

alcoholic. So you find yourself another sponsor.

Somebody's willing to sit here and listen to your crap and believe it.

Wait a minute.

See you around.

Who's that with Magda?

Special Agent Bernard, DEA.

Call this number, ask for Agent Williams. There's about 50 guys over at

working on this, but he seems like the lead man.

I talked to him about you. I told him how hard you were working to find this

girl's parents.

Thanks. You're welcome.

You all set with Mike?

Yeah, you and the boys will be on radio contact, but you and I should have some

sort of signal.

Am I playing with my right earring?

You've done this before, haven't you? Yeah.

When I was on patrol, anytime anyone needed an undercover whore, I was

nominated. Well, it's because you're blonde.

Apparently you don't have no hair.

The blacks used to own that corner. I mean, they still do.

And now they're renting out to the Honduran.

Do you recognize them?

No. But one of my CIs said that a shipment came in last week worth a

hundred grand on the street.

And what happened to it? I think they made a deal with the local supplier.

Paid him like 50 grand to sell it for him.

So this informant of yours, you think he would talk to us?

Sorry, I can't give the guy his name right now.

Thank the DEA for your assistance.

You know how it is.

I'm trying to work on something here. Yeah, well, so are we.

I'll see you around.

Did he give you anything?

No. I think his motto is it's better to receive than to give.

Ginny girl, come on in.

I couldn't believe it when I got your call.

I didn't think you were coming back for another week.

How you doing, Dad?

Same old, same old, you know.

When I told Casey you called, he wanted to come over. John Jr.

too, but they're both working tonight.

No, that's good.

Oh, listen, I fixed up your old bed. It's a little lumpy, but, you know.

Hey, don't worry about it. I'm sure it's better than the cot I've been sleeping

on. Oh, jeez. Did you call your landlord?

I said he was sorry.

Said it was the management company's decision to lock me out. I would have

covered you.

Tell you the truth, I didn't like that place too much anyway.

You know what, Dad? I, um... Oh, hey, look, I... I don't think I can stay

I just, I think I made a mistake.

No, what are you talking about? The beers?

Look, they're gone. I'm throwing everything away.

Even the hard stuff.

Dad, please, I... I don't want to interrupt your life here.

Maybe if you could just loan me some money.

What is that? What, you're going to go to a motel?

No way, you have family.

Don't worry, I'm going to get rid of everything.

Dad. Ginny, don't.

It hasn't been easy on me since you left, you know?

I mean, all those things you said.

I'll tell you what.

You're going to stay here with me until you're on your feet, and that's that.

Please.

Don't mention it.

I'm just going to clean out some stuff here.

You look good, by the way.

So, look, Sergeant, you have the photo. I'd really appreciate it if you post it

in your precinct.

Oh, yeah.

Station house.

That's right.

Okay, so, yeah, it was nice talking to you, too.

Been on the phone all day?

Yeah, just following up.

What, D .C. gonna get on your case about all the long distance?

I'll try.

I made a couple of phone calls myself today. Canada, Mexico.

Talked to someone at the embassy there.

It's crazy.

I mean, look at her.

Doesn't somebody out there miss her?

How can a four -year -old girl just disappear and go unnoticed?

It's been almost two months.

Well, you know the possibilities.

Her parents could have been killed as well.

Her parents could have killed her.

No, I just can't take the feeling that someone out there is looking for her.

Who doesn't read the papers or watch the news?

They're out there.

I can find them.

M .E. called.

Says he's got a match to the murder that occurred yesterday.

A woman.

Could be his girlfriend or partner.

I spoke to that guy down in lockup. He said he saw a couple trying to move some

stuff about six weeks ago.

Latino man, black woman.

Never saw him before.

Well, that's the address.

Thanks. I'm going to check it with the captain.

How's the search coming?

Making new friends all over the country.

I'm not on the street, you know.

Light duty, as they call it.

So, this is all I can do.

Hey,

Doug. Ladies.

Hey, Memo.

Back to like the body we found yesterday.

Entry wound start at the leg, move upwards.

Some needle track marks.

Looks around 25 ATD at least 24 hours ago.

Anybody know her?

That's the manager.

Thank you. Anytime.

Inspector Eckstead, this is Inspector Ramirez.

Are you the department manager?

Yeah. Did you see or hear anything?

No, nothing.

Do you know the name of this tenant?

She's not a tenant here.

I rented this apartment to Mrs. Dunkel. Oh, okay. So, uh, where's Mrs. Dunkel?

Haven't seen her.

And you're sure this isn't her?

Mrs. Dunkel's almost 80.

I don't know who this woman is. Look, I've got a hundred families here. Maybe

she went on vacation.

Okay, well, here's my card, Ms.

Ortiz. Mrs.

Ortiz. Mrs. Ortiz. Well, we're going to need to get a statement from you, so

we'll be in touch.

Oh, do you send someone to clean up after? We'll take care of it.

Okay, so what? The man and the woman were a couple, partners, took a

but decided to pocket the money.

Yeah.

Obviously not a smart move.

Are you guys on?

Yeah, we're just around the corner. We got visual.

You can holler if you need any help. I can take him down myself.

Toughest fights I ever had was with one of these Johns. I mean, they would

rather die than get busted for solicitation and have to go home and

wife and kids.

I still find it very hard to believe that anyone's going to approach me

like this.

You'll see.

You're going to be very popular. Besides, you look radiant.

Shut up.

Hey,

Jen, I'm going to go pick Ben up from my cousins, and then I'm going to drop him

off at my mom's, and I'll be back.

You know what? Don't worry about it.

Really, I'm just going to go over these canvassing cards, probably go back by

the apartment building, knock on some doors, pay a visit to the manager.

Let's go. Be with Ben.

Did you meet with your sponsor?

Oh, yeah.

Yes. That was comforting.

Called me a loser.

Why did he say that?

Because I'm not buying into his whole AA thing.

Pray to a higher power, make amends. Mom, you know what? Please.

No lectures from you.

Okay, what are you going to do?

Find a new sponsor.

All right.

Look, I'm going to drop Ben off. I'm going to tuck him in, read him a story,

I'll be back in a couple of hours, okay?

Yeah.

Can we have a car pulling up here? This could be an economy rental.

No plates on it.

How much for a date?

Depends on what you want.

Want to go to your car?

Let's go for a walk.

I haven't seen you around before.

Want to see more?

Okay, heads up.

Heads up. I'll wait for a signal.

No,

no, it's too soon. Just wait.

I'm going to need the 20 first.

SF PD.

All right, I'm going in.

I said SF PD, buddy.

Bitch!

What happened? What happened? Are you okay?

He bit me.

He bit me. Go. 516 with a code 33.

Suspect fleeing eastbound on King Street.

Copy that. We're on our way.

Need some help?

No, I can handle it. All right.

I can't let you in. I've got cats.

I like cats.

I'm sorry I can't help you.

But as I said, I... I don't know who that woman is.

So how long have you been the manager here?

Three years.

I suppose that most of the tenants stick around for at least that long, huh?

With the subsidy, the rent must be pretty low.

I guess.

You know, it's interesting because a lot of the names on the mailboxes aren't

actually the people who are living in the apartments.

How might you explain that?

Maybe I'd be really careful here.

So far you haven't told me much, but I don't think you've straight out lied.

Look, Mrs. Ortiz, I know that you're taking money on the side by subletting

these units.

Maybe I can overlook that.

But I want the name of the woman.

Sheila.

Sheila Earl.

She and her boyfriend, his name was Wayne Hoyas, moved in a month or so ago.

Was she dealing out of her apartment?

That I don't know.

Okay, Mrs. Ortiz, thank you.

You've been very helpful. I'll be in touch.

What about the little girl?

What little girl? Her daughter, Cora.

She was only three or four.

It was nice meeting you on the phone, too.

Bye.

What?

Precious Doe's real name was Cora.

Cora Earle.

Her mother was the drug dealer who was murdered two days ago.

Well, how do you know?

How do you know for sure?

The apartment manager ID'd her, recognized her from the photo.

She was probably using Reina.

You know, figured a woman with a kid is less likely to attract the cop.

We think the mom and the boyfriend made a deal with a Honduran supplier to sell

coke. They got the coke, but never gave them the money from the sales.

Then they took the girl and threatened to kill her if they didn't get their

money.

They did and finished off the job.

I don't believe it.

Look, I know you've been real close to this case, but it's true.

Bernard from the DEA called to say the Hondurans have left the country.

Yeah, right.

You think Bernard's lying?

I think he'd do whatever he had to do to get all the credit on a big bust.

You know, back when I was on patrol, we had to serve a warrant at this house out

in Richmond.

And this very young couple, so strung out.

There was a dead baby on a rug.

Skin and bones.

I thought, what kind of a mother, father, does this?

I went home and called into bed with my little girl.

I held her so tight.

They're wrong.

You know, Renée, you got to learn to face it. Her mother was a drug addict

dealer who was using her?

No way.

Look at this.

This is a homemade dress.

Look at this mocking.

That's hand -stitched.

These little hair barrettes with the little bears on them.

Heart -shaped gold necklace.

Someone adored this little girl.

She was loved.

Hey, how you doing?

I'm okay.

Would you give me a decal?

Yeah. For the doctor.

A good bite.

Put me on AZT. Just a precaution.

And I have to go through a hepatitis immunization today.

You know, if we don't find this guy, I'm going to be on AZT for six months.

We're going to get this guy, all right? And the chances are... We all know what

the chances are.

This is going to be hell in my social life.

We got a plate?

No, no plates.

But he left the car. It's a rental. No paperwork in it. Ran the VIN number.

Contacted every agency in the city. Make the rounds again. See if they got the

info. I'm going to go back on the street.

Come see me later?

I hope you don't mind.

I saw that you had your stats out, and I wasn't sure what time you were going to

get in. So, anyhow, I figured I had some time this morning, and I was anxious

to... To see what you could find to incriminate me.

You're not on trial, Kate.

Really?

Captain, I need your signature.

I hope that's been pre -approved. As a matter of fact, it has.

Just finished a meeting with the chief.

Really?

About anything in particular?

Just that... Inspectors Ramirez and Eckstead located Precious Doe's mother.

Found out who killed her and her daughter and why.

Kate, we seem to have gotten off on the wrong foot.

I mean, we both have the same goals.

Not if your goal is to replace me. I never made any threats.

No, but I will.

You try and undermine my authority here, you're in for the fight of your life.

And when you want to go over my books, please call and make an appointment.

I'd be more than happy to accommodate your schedule, if at all possible.

Kate, you may not believe this, but I don't want a war.

I just want to improve this division.

I hope to do it with your assistance.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Don't be here.

You have a good day, folks.

Drive safe.

Can I have you, sir?

I got to hand it to myself. I got all the agencies around town.

No one's missing a rental. And then no one seems to remember renting anything.

Anybody matches your description either. So I figure.

Maybe this guy actually works in one of these places.

Big tough guy, huh?

Beating up pregnant hookers?

Biting? He hit me.

I'm calling my lawyer.

Good. Well, first we're going to take a little trip to the hospital, huh? See if

your blood is as red as mine. I refuse.

I refuse to take a test. Good. Refuse.

Please do.

Then we'll just have to figure out another way to get a pint out of you.

on.

Why'd you lie to me?

Afternoon, Inspector Ramirez. I spoke to Immigration, and they know about the

Hondurans you guys have under surveillance who have not left the

Can you wait outside for me?

You want to go to my office and sit down? No.

I have their names, and I know you know where they are, so you better start

talking. Look, we've been trailing these guys for months.

They're intermediaries.

They work for a syndicate that's a huge supplier. Now, those are the guys that

we're trying to nail. Yeah, well, I'm after guys that committed a triple

homicide. They didn't just kill the man or woman that was selling their drugs.

The woman was the mother of that little girl that got her throat cut in the

park. The little girl on the paper? Yes.

Precious dough.

They killed her to get her mother to talk.

Look, I see the big picture, okay? I know you guys are trying to prevent more

dope from coming into the country, but we cannot let these guys get away with

this.

So are you going to help me, or do I have to have my captain call your

and tell him that we know who precious those killers are, but you're just

sitting on it? Look, there's at least six of these guys here.

We don't even know which one... Just leave it to me, okay?

Mr. Durrell?

Yes. Hi, I'm Raina Washington. We spoke on the phone.

Thank you.

Would you like to sit down?

Yes.

I get the feeling I'm in my 20s, but I'm not.

It was wonderful.

Everyone was very nice.

Is your captain here? I wanted to thank her for the money she sent for my

ticket. I'll tell her.

Are they expecting us downstairs?

We'd like for you to identify Sheila.

You know, my daughter Sheila was 14 when she ran away from home.

She came home pregnant, had the baby and left.

And I was angry.

Why should I have to raise another child?

Cora, she was special.

She was my special girl.

We've been every day together.

And then Sheila shows up about two months ago, says she wants to take her

her to San Francisco.

And I tried to stop her, but I couldn't.

She was so sweet.

She sang like an angel.

Let me take you downstairs.

She must have been so scared that day they took her.

But you were right.

Up until then, that little girl was loved.

Hey, Dad.

Hey.

Hey.

Something smells good. What's going on?

I made dinner.

You made dinner?

Yes, sirree. We're having cream of mushroom soup and tuna casserole.

Did you want a soda or ice tea with that?

Anything. Thanks.

Anything on your case?

Yeah, we got them.

Busted the Honduran dealers.

Four of them gave up. The two that killed the little girl.

Good for you. That felt great, Ginny.

Must feel good to be back on the job, huh?

Yeah, it does.

You know, I miss it every day. Can I give you some advice?

Don't ever, ever retire.

I'll remember that. Thanks.

Listen, do I have time for a run?

Can we eat in an hour?

Oh, yeah, sure. No problem.

I rented Serpico. We can watch it after dinner.

Told you your guy was stupid.

He didn't pass the simple test.

He's negative.

Turns out he'd rather beat up hookers than have sex with them.

What do you say we hit the bars?

Show me the way to a woman's heart.

You're on.

You know I guess I wasn't looking me I

guess I wasn't paying attention I guess I couldn't admit to

myself I love you

It's, uh, it's Ginny.

Inspector, I've stepped.

Um, Chestnut and, uh, and Scott, um, I'm out of

homework.

I need some help.
