[SIRENS WAILING]

MAN: Everybody say amen. CROWD: Amen.

TOBY: Everybody say amen.

CROWD: Amen.

TOBY: Everybody say amen.

CROWD: Amen.

TOBY: Everybody say amen.

CROWD: Amen.

TOBY: Now, hear me brothers

and sisters.

TOBY: Dig it when I tell you

that salvation is right here.

CROWD: Yeah.

TOBY: Don't you get it?

Everybody say it.

Hear me brothers and sisters.

CROWD: Yeah.

Dig it when I say that salvation

is right here, right now.

[CROWD CHEERS]

Believe it when I say

that it's all aboard for the ultimate trip--

CROWD: Yeah.

--that the Kingdom of God is where it's at.

Yeah, yeah.

Tune in to where fear and hurt are out--

CROWD: Yeah.

--and where truth and freedom,

and love and hope are in.

[CROWD CHEERS]

Amen.

Listen.

Listen to that small voice within.

Do you hear it?

CROWD: I hear.

That is the voice of God asking you

to choose between him and Lucifer,

between drugs or God, turn or burn.

How many can dig it?

CROWD: I can dig it.

How many can hear that voice?

CROWD: I hear.

Well, then let the man upstairs hear you, then.

CROWD: I hear you.

One more time.

CROWD: I hear you.

Oh, do you hear us, Lord?

I hear you.

[CHUCKLES]

The whole neighborhood hears you.

[LAUGHS]

TOBY: Hey.

Welcome, brothers.

Yeah. Toby.

What's happenin'?

Well, uh, I'm afraid you've got

another disturbing-the-peace complaint.

Yeah, you promised to keep the noise down, Toby.

I'm sorry, man, but when you get that spirit,

the hardest thing in the world to keep is quiet, heh.

Yeah.

Heh-heh, excuse me.

Collection time.

Let us pray.

CROWD: Amen.

Precious Lord, we thank you for what we have got

and for what we are about to get.

Amen.

CROWD: Amen.

Uh, do you mind if I borrow your hats?

Do it.

Craig, Joni.

Now if you've got money to spare, give,

but if you're tapped out,

well, then take when the hat goes by.

[CROWD CHEERS SOFTLY]

Now, money is not the root of all evil.

It is the love of money.

CROWD: Yeah. TOBY: That's what it is.

Yeah, now, now, it's cool to like it a little bit,

especially when it's doing the Lord's work, right?

CROWD: Yeah.

MAN: Amen.

[LAUGHS]

Toby, really, you got to do something

about the noise, uh...

This is a residential neighborhood

and the residents are not part of your fan club.

Oh, dig.

Next week it won't matter anyhow.

We're being cast out of our temple.

Nonpayment of rent.

Brother.

Thank you, brother. Here you go.

Thank you, sister.

[CROWD CHEERS]

[CROWD APPLAUDS]

Oh, sure.

Yeah.

[LAUGHS]

Hey. CROWD: Hey.

The Lord loves a cheerful giver.

Now, now.

Ah.

[CROWD LAUGHS]

He's fairly fond of the reluctant too.

[CROWD APPLAUDS]

Oh.

[CROWD CHEERS, LAUGHS]

Hallelujah, ah?

[TOBY LAUGHS]

TOBY: Hallelujah.

Let us pray.

Precious Lord, we thank you for this meeting

and for the souls that we have saved,

but most of all thank you for sending us...

Brother Webster.

For the help he's gonna give us to save our church.

Hallelujah.

MAN: Hallelujah.

MAN: All right.

[CROWD CHEERS, APPLAUDS]

Same time, same place, tomorrow.

Hang in, keep loose, and stay out of trouble.

Hey.

There's coffee and cookies out front.

Oh, welcome aboard, Officer Webster.

Really appreciate what you do.

Hey, would you care for some coffee?

Yeah, sure.

Well, right this way. Come on.

[CHATTERING]

CRAIG: Sure was a good sermon.

Hey, did you enjoy it, Officer Gillis?

Beautiful. Far out.

Yeah. Hey, listen.

Why don't you wait here and I'll get coffee.

Okay? Beautiful. Right.

Two coffees.

Hey, Terry, um,

what was he welcoming you aboard?

I don't know,

but I have a feeling it's a good ship snow job.

Hm. Hey, Toby?

Toby? Excuse me.

Hey, Toby?

What's this bit about me and church, huh?

Oh, I had a feelin' you would wanna know about that.

But isn't it exciting, man, having a new challenge jump up

in front of you just like that?

My life is exciting enough

and I don't know about this challenge, bu--

A-as a matter of fact.

Uh, I told you, man. We're being evicted.

Well, you need a realtor, not a cop.

Uh-uh. I need you.

Hey, don't fight it, man.

You've been chosen by him.

My leader.

Well, I got a leader too.

He's just a lieutenant, but when he talks I listen.

Hey, Toby?

Toby?

Oh, wow.

Toby?

Oh, Toby.

[SOBBING]

Oh.

Oh, Toby.

Toby, I think I did it this time.

I think I got some bad stuff.

Ambulance? Yeah.

And tell them it's an OD.

[PANTING]

Okay.

[MAN MOANING, SOBBING]

Why, Billy? Why, man?

You told me you were goin' straight home.

Oh, Toby, Toby, I'm a junkie.

[PANTS]

Toby, where I am now, this is my home.

I think I'm gonna die, man.

Toby, don't let me die.

Please, don't let me die.

Please, don't let me die.

It's okay, Billy.

Please, don't let me die.

I don't wanna die.

Okay, man, it's okay.

Love me.

Four disturbing-the-peace complaints.

Not only don't you issue citations,

you wanna help him.

Lieutenant, we like the work he's doing.

And what might that be?

Taking kids, most of them junkies,

off the streets. Turning them on to religion,

showing them that there's something else.

That's very commendable.

What else do you know about him?

He's helping people. Isn't that enough?

Gillis, our files runneth over with bible-toting,

scripture-quoting phonies.

How do you know he's not one of them?

Gut feeling.

Take an anti-acid tablet.

Maybe it'll go away.

Lieutenant, the program we signed on

was billed for as special.

Cops getting involved with people who needed help.

If all of that has changed--

Nothing has changed. I'm still in charge.

Your own time is your own business

so long as it doesn't interfere with the department.

When it does interfere, then it becomes my business.

Don't get involved with Jones till you've checked him out.

That's what you call good advice, eh?

I call that good advice.

I call that a much better order.

I'm on duty, you're off duty,

so let me get to work.

[SIGHS]

Oh, whew.

TOBY: Hm, i-it's-- It's not as much

of a dream as you think it is.

Hi, Willie. Little beer?

Hey, thank you, Josie.

Sure. Yeah.

Who's got coffee?

I do.

Here you go.

Thank you. Yeah.

Now, like I was saying, you know,

I know where we can get all the bread we need.

Now, there's this community-action group.

You know, businessmen, parents,

tryin' to help the stoned generation.

Fifteen grand if they're convinced

that my program is better than the others.

And I do the convincing, huh?

Me in the uniform?

No. All you do is serve on my advisory board.

It gives it a-- An endorsed look.

Look, Toby, when we talked to Ryker he said that--

Hey, man.

This is the bottom line, man.

The bottom line.

Now, if you say no, it's exodus for those kids.

Back out in the street.

I fold up my tent and those kids are your property,

and you're gonna end up either bustin' them

or buryin' them.

Toby, I'd like to help, but I just--

But what, man?

What else you got to say?

Well, just that...

I'd like to be on your board.

[LAUGHING]

Amen.

[SIGHS]

Hey, Toby, we'll both be on it, all right?

Uh...hey, I-I'm sorry, Brother Willie, but, uh,

you're not on the cast list.

Cast list?

Yeah, you see,

if you're gonna ask these people for money

you have to have the right kind of cast list.

Now, I have a-a nun, a rabbi, a black cop,

two sociology professors,

one is a German agnostic

and the other is a-a Lutheran Swede.

Now a white cop would, uh,

kind of throw off the proportion.

You dig, huh?

[SIGHS]

Yeah, okay. I can dig it.

All right. Yeah.

Hey, Terry, I'll get in touch with you

as soon as I get in touch with the, uh--

The money man, huh?

Okay. Thank you, brother.

[CHUCKLES]

[LAUGHS]

Hot dog.

Oh.

[LAUGHS]

I was just discriminated against.

Well, step to the back of the bus, buddy.

Boy, you sure got a lot of cops in here.

Well, the precinct's right across the street.

Oh, I guess this is one place

that'll never get held up, huh?

Well, the guy who was in charge

of the Titanic was pretty confident too.

[BOTH LAUGH]

I really thought that, uh, you were gonna turn Toby down,

after what Ryker said.

Well, at one time that was the plan.

Yeah, well, if, uh, Ryker finds out...

[GIGGLES]

...look out.

Ryker wouldn't drink the milk

of human kindness unless it was stamped pasteurized.

Yeah.

There we go. Oh.

Thank you very much.

Thank you, Josie. Thank you.

Thanks, Josie.

You think you could loan-- You got a couple of bucks--

Toby's collection, huh?

Yeah.

Tapped out.

The Phantom strikes again.

Uh-huh, once again.

Oh, one more time. Ha, ha, yeah.

Oh, you're being kind.

GILLIS: You know what you could do?

JOSIE: I know. Mm-huh.

ALL: Put it on the tab.

ALL: Yeah.

TOBY: I-it's the perfect setup.

There's plenty of rooms, and it's--

T-the price is right.

Well, I must admit it's not exactly my idea of a church.

What's your opinion, Officer Webster?

Oh, I agree with Toby, Mr. North.

A lot of people are turned off by stained glass and steeples.

Partition it off.

There'll be enough room for everything.

A...chapel, rap room, a help line.

It's beautiful.

Well, you're the experts, hm.

And you're the money man.

Oh, no, no. I'm just chairman of the action group.

One man, one vote.

Oh, but they'll listen to you.

We need that grant, Mr. North,

as bad as those kids need us.

Well, I'll-- I'll talk to the committee.

Who knows? Maybe in a week or two you'll have that grant.

[CHUCKLES]

Hallelujah.

Hallelujah and amen.

Ha, amen.

Hallelujah.

[LAUGHS]

Oh, yeah.

Hey, what do you suppose he thinks

of all those amens and hallelujahs?

I mean, I don't think he quite approved,

seeing as he's putting up the bread for the group and--

Oh, man, it's not that he doesn't approve.

He just doesn't understand.

He can't understand, maybe.

He's-- He's never been down,

so it's hard for him to know what up is.

All he knows is straight ahead

and signal when you turn.

Yeah, well, I guess he's just tryin'

to help the way he knows how, huh?

Hey, man, you know, I'd be dead without him,

but just like I'd be dead without him,

well, he's just a little bit more alive with me around.

Yeah. You dig it?

I can dig it. Ha.

[♪♪♪]

I'll have the, uh, pot roast, noodles, and milk to drink.

Okay.

I guess I'll have a... hot turkey sandwich.

Anything you guys say.

Excuse me.

Uh, I'd like to talk to you.

Sure.

What about?

At 5:00 this afternoon,

a heroin dealer by the name of Garvey

will be making a delivery

to a boarding house at this address.

Now, there's a warrant out for him already

so you won't need any other documents.

Once you see him go into the place,

you can go in after him.

There'll be others inside.

Is there money out for Garvey?

Do you want part of a reward?

No.

I just want that place busted, that's all.

Then why don't you go directly to the narcotics squad?

Why don't you, while you've still got time?

This better be good, sir. I was very hungry.

[♪♪♪]

Where did the other guys go?

Oh, you know how it is, miss.

Duty calls and all that.

But you can leave those, though.

I'll be glad to take care of 'em.

Oh, would you like anything else?

Double scotch on the rocks.

[♪♪♪]

That's Garvey, all right.

Looks like you guys got a good tip.

Thanks for letting us tag along.

If they try to muscle out of this,

you'll do a lot more than tag along.

All right, you cover the back with Douglas

and we'll take the front.

Here we go, gentlemen.

[♪♪♪]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Garvey, this is the police. Open up.

Police. Open up.

Open up. Police.

Got it. Hold it.

Don't move.

Turn around.

Hands behind your head.

Lock your fingers.

[♪♪♪]

All right, hold it right there.

Get those hands up over your head.

Hey, wait a minute. You're not goin' anywhere.

[GRUNTING]

[SCREAMS]

[YELLS INDISTINCTLY]

[GRUNTS]

[SCREAMS]

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

[ALL GRUNTING]

Get all back here.

Get back here.

You got no search warrant.

You're our warrant, Garvey.

This bust is gonna stick,

so why don't you just relax

and let us do the number, huh?

[BOTH PANTING]

I'm gettin' too old for this.

All right, read them.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used against you.

You have the-- Right to an attorney.

If I cannot afford one, one will be appointed for me.

Do I understand everything you said?

Yeah, I understand.

I think he heard your act before, Webster.

I think he wrote it. Let's go.

Let's go, come on, come on, let's go.

[GROANS]

Don't you worry, your buddy's comin'. Let's go.

[WOMAN GROANING]

All right, just line it up across there.

All right, go ahead and get a wagon.

All right, let's everybody be comfortable.

Right down on the ground. Sit it. Let's go.

Come on, Garvey, move it.

Sit down here.

Guess that guy in the bar

handed us the right number, huh?

Yeah, but you're not gonna like it all.

How so?

One guy got out the side window, got away.

Get a good look at him?

Yeah, I got a good look.

Terry, it was Toby Jones.

[♪♪♪]

I would swear to it. It was Toby Jones.

Description of suspect.

Hey, what's Toby's approximate height and weight?

[SIGHS]

Okay.

Let's see now, uh...

Six-foot-three,

male, black...

weight approximately... 190 pounds.

You could have made a mistake.

Yeah, but I didn't.

Those suspects say anything about Toby?

According to them, Jones does not exist.

According to R and I, he exists a lot.

Toby's got a record?

Burglary and auto theft. Two counts each.

What about your informant?

Maybe he can throw some light on Jones' whereabouts.

No, didn't get his name. Didn't need it to get in.

We'll probably never see him again.

Don't you believe it. All informants want something.

He'll be back.

You gonna issue a warrant on Toby?

What do you expect?

Lieutenant,

if Toby was inside that house, he's got a reason.

I'd like permission to look for him

before you issue that warrant. Permission denied.

Permission to take time off.

Denied.

Suppose I get sick and have to leave?

If I hear one phony sneeze out of you

I'll have you saluting meter maids.

As of now, holy Joe belongs to Narco.

Hurry up with that report, Gillis.

Off duty time is my own time, right?

That's what the man said?

Yeah.

Terry, he has got procedure to follow.

And I've got my conscience to follow.

Just like we told the detectives who were here.

We don't know where Toby is.

He's in real trouble, isn't he?

Yeah, he is.

Maybe.

Hey, Craig, are you sure you don't have any idea

where we might find him now?

Nope.

Okay, look, this is our phone number.

If you hear from Toby, please,

ask him to call us at any time, any hour.

Hey, you gonna bust him?

If he phones and we don't know where he's calling from,

we can't bust him, can we?

Hey, are you working both sides of the street now?

No.

One side.

The side that says he's innocent

until proven guilty. Remember that one?

Yeah.

All right, man, so you dig the guy,

you dig his work, but you're a cop.

You cannot get emotionally involved.

I'm a human being first.

A human being who happens to be sick

of all the human beings killing themselves with drugs.

Look, Terry, has it ever occurred to you

that Toby might be a dealer?

You've got no proof of that.

Of course I've got no proof, but he was seen.

That's it. A cop makes an arrest.

The DA, the judge, the jury,

they take it from there.

You're oversimplifying.

You just don't know what a guy like Toby means.

WEBSTER: You want him off the streets,

regardless, right?

But you don't know what value a guy like Toby's got.

These kids need heroes.

People like themselves who can make it,

and Toby's just this far away from making it.

This far.

[PHONE RINGING]

JILL: Hello?

It's Toby.

It's for you.

Hello, Toby?

Hey, brother man.

Hear you been lookin' for me.

All these years of rejection

it should feel nice to be wanted,

but it don't.

[CHUCKLES]

Toby, where are you?

Oh, man, what kind of question is that?

Hey, brother...

tell me the truth now.

Were you inside that house

the day we made the heroin bust?

Now, didn't Brother Willie tell you I was there?

Why?

That's a long story, brother man.

Not even sure it matters anymore.

[WOMAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY OVER POLICE RADIO]

Toby, you still there?

Not any more, brother man.

[♪♪♪]

No idea where he is,

except...

a lot further away from making it than he used to be.

Big old place like that,

must be a million places to hide.

Yeah.

Why do you think he'd stick around?

'Cause it's his place, what he's all about.

'Cause he knew that we would assume

he would take off to somewhere else.

He's around or in there somewhere.

Okay. Why don't we take a look?

[WOMAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY OVER RADIO]

You go ahead, okay?

I'll watch the radio.

Thanks.

[♪♪♪]

Somebody's looking after you, huh, baby?

[MAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY OVER RADIO]

Terry?

He's on the roof.

[♪♪♪]

He's up there. I just saw him.

[TIRES SCREECH]

You could let me go.

Could.

Won't.

[PHONE RINGING]

I got this phone call. It was male and anonymous.

He said some kids needed help.

Have gave me the address and he hung up.

Now the head junkie, he wouldn't let me in.

Lieutenant?

Go ahead.

So I went around the back,

I climbed through the window,

the narcos busted in, and I split.

Why?

Well, you've got my record right there.

I'm on parole, man.

Now, if I make one mistake, I go back in the slam.

Uh, let's talk about your record, reverend.

Burglary, auto theft.

Look, lieutenant, a hood is nothin' more than a cat

who ain't as rich as he think he ought to be.

You know, like that Robin Hood dude.

I stole from the rich and I gave to the poor,

and the poor was me.

So, after I got into the slam,

it was then I decided

I was gonna preach the Good Book.

To addicts inside of a shooting gallery?

Well, why else would I go there, man?

Well, for lots of reasons. To deal, to score.

Negative skin search and Nalline test, lieutenant.

All right, that doesn't rule out dealing.

Let's get back to the alleged phone call.

Oh, man.

How many more times we gonna go through this number?

Till we get in step with the music.

I'm tryin' to help you, Jones.

It takes two to tango.

GILLIS: Hey, Toby?

Toby, we believe you, but legally

we need someone to verify your story.

Yeah, and that's the guy who called me up

and I don't know who he is.

Hey, I'm innocent.

You know, if that don't get it,

well, then, right on, man.

You guys are just gonna have to go ahead and do your thing.

You don't leave me very much choice.

Come on.

[SIGHS]

Gotta find out who made that phone call.

That's the man we want.

Yeah, but first we gotta do something else.

Come on.

It's been four years since my last bust.

A cat tends to forget procedures.

Jones, for whatever it's worth, I hope you're innocent.

Oh, don't patronize me, man.

I don't patronize anybody.

Then why all this jazz about my innocence?

'Cause I got a couple of rookies out there that believe in you.

Does that sound crazy?

It is, and they do.

Oh, in a couple of years after they've been spit at,

sworn at, shot at, and generally hated for doin' a job,

nobody in his right mind would apply for,

then they're gonna be as hard-nosed as me.

But in the meantime I'm fightin' a delaying action

because I don't want my boys to lose faith

in the people they serve.

Not a day earlier than is necessary.

I hope they're right about you.

That's for the ink.

Thanks, man.

Lieutenant, when you're through with the paperwork,

you can spring him.

Bail has just been posted for this guy.

Bail has been posted for this guy?

I haven't even finished bookin' him yet.

Who the devil did it?

No comment.

TOBY: Everybody say amen.

[IN UNISON] Amen.

Everybody say amen.

Amen.

Everybody say amen. Amen.

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

Man, I was inside that jail, and you know what I did?

[CROWD SCREAMING INDISTINCTLY]

I prayed.

Thy will be done.

[CROWD CHEERING]

Not my will, but his will.

If God had intended for me to be inside that place,

I'd still be there.

[IN UNISON] Yeah!

But he sent me some friends. Yeah.

Here I am by the grace of the Almighty God

I'm gonna go into that courtroom next week

and I am gonna beat that rap.

[LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE]

[CHEERING]

Woo!

[CHEERING]

Because with God as my witness,

I stand innocent.

And, man, that judge

and that jury won't know what hit 'em.

[LAUGHTER]

Prayer, prayer, prayer,

prayer power, brothers and sisters.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

Yes, it moves mountains.

[IN UNISON] Mountains.

Let us pray.

Precious Lord, I thank you for the privilege

of being here today

and for the freedom now and for the freedom to come.

Freedom. Freedom.

Thank you for the love we all share,

and for the precious gift of life itself.

MAN: Amen. WOMAN: Yeah.

Bless us now, Lord, as we go our separate ways,

and watch over us till we come together, once more.

[CROWD CHATTERING]

Amen. [MAN SCREAMS]

Amen. [CROWD CHEERING]

Ah? Amen.

[IN UNISON] Amen.

[LAUGHTER]

That's it. Same time, same place tomorrow.

Now, you keep cool, keep yourselves together.

There's some coffee and cookies in the front.

[LAUGHTER]

All right. Thank you.

TOBY: Keep the faith, man.

DANKO: I think that's what they call

that old-time religion.

There's nothing old-time about that.

Uh-uh. Is that it.

Hey. Hey.

Thank you.

No, thank you. Beautiful.

Super sermon, Toby.

CRAIG [GIGGLING]: And we collected 30 bucks.

Dynamite. All right.

[GIGGLES]

I'll catch you.

[TIRES SQUEALING]

Stay down.

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

Ooh.

[♪♪♪]

Hey.

Hey.

What's happenin'?

What's happening?

[GROANS]

You have a partially collapsed lung,

and a slug in your shoulder.

[CHUCKLES]

That's a bad way to start the day, man.

[WEBSTER GIGGLES]

Yeah.

Detectives left some questions for me to ask.

You up to it?

Sure.

You see the guy in the car?

No.

I didn't see a thing.

First I was there...

[DEEP BREATH]

...then I wasn't.

Can you give us any names?

Anybody who'd want you out of the way?

That's the hardest thing, man, you know?

Me tryin' to figure out--

What I did, ever,

that'd make somebody wanna kill me.

I mean, the past four years,

I've been doing that brothers' keeper bit, you know?

TOBY [WHISPERING]: Yeah.

[SIGHS]

I guess this is what I get for tryin'.

Keep the faith, baby.

Remember?

[CHUCKLES]

Hey, don't give me that, man.

The catch phrases and pep talks--

I've heard all of that.

[CHUCKLES]

You been seein' too many movies.

The good guys don't win.

[SIGHING]: Oh, man--

Maybe there's no point...

[SOBS]

...in even trying.

[SOBS]

Toby, that is the point.

To keep on trying.

Oh, man.

No more questions, man, please.

What I said,

wasn't a question.

[RINGS]

Operator, all calls to this room are to be sent

to the nurses' station imme--

[GROANS]

Yeah?

MAN [OVER TELEPHONE] Listen, Toby Jones,

and listen good.

What?

One of your kids is at 101 Fulton Drive.

She's shooting up.

Oh, wow, wow.

She's shooting up and you're the only one who can stop her.

I'm telling you, you'd better hurry up.

Okay, just as soon as I can.

[♪♪♪]

RYKER: According to the night nurse

he must've taken off

around 4 or 5 in the morning.

He's got no money,

so he can't be riding a bus or a cab.

From the looks of this blood,

he's gonna be riding an ambulance

if we don't catch up with him pretty soon.

Or a hearse,

'cause he's not gonna travel very far

with that bullet still in his shoulder.

From the looks of that ground outside,

the wound must've opened up when he went out the window.

He's probably trying to hitchhike, get back to his van.

Where to from there?

I don't know.

Something about that phone call he got, but, uh--

I don't know.

All right, we got a bulletin out on him.

Danko, I want you to check out that church of his,

see if those kids have any idea.

You two fall by the bar, see if you can get any information

about that guy who blew the whistle on the shooting gallery.

Go ahead.

Nurse, I'd like to talk to you

about the telephone call, if I may.

[♪♪♪]

[CROWD CHATTERING]

Hi. Hey, I missed you guys last night.

I got a booth for you right over here.

No, no thanks. We don't want one.

Ah, Josie, remember the dude we sat with

for a couple of minutes the day that we took off?

Well, vaguely.

Do you know who he is?

Anything about him at all?

Only that he came in regular for a couple of nights--

Give me a Marty Up and a-- Golden Cadillac?

And then nothing.

Is that all? That's it.

Hey, Josie, it's very important.

I wish I could help you.

Oh.

Remember that day you blasted outta here

in such a hurry?

Well, he paid for your meals.

That's no help.

Well, yeah, because, see, uh, I was outta change

and the smallest thing he had was a 20,

and he paid with his credit card.

Do you have the carbon copy?

What--? What day was it?

Tuesday.

Just a minute.

Tuesday.

Um...

I usually know everybody that comes in here by name.

Now, here's four Tuesdays that really don't ring a bell.

"Saunders, Price, Lewis and Burton."

Mean anything?

Willie, what did you order that day?

I had a-- A hot turkey sandwich.

You had the pot roast.

And milk. What does that total up to?

JOSIE: Uh, let's see,

with taxes, 3.88, uh--

Plus two drinks is 5.38.

Here it is. Here it is.

Minus tip, 5.38.

His name is Howard M. Price.

Thank you. Uh--

[♪♪♪]

[COUGHS]

Look, um,

if there's any place he ever talked about,

any friends he mentioned?

JONI: No place and nobody.

That's why he worked so hard here.

This is all Toby has.

COP [OVER RADIO]: Ludlow 7.

Excuse me.

DANKO [OVER RADIO]: Ludlow 7, over.

Ludlow 7, we have a--

Danko, this is Ryker.

Looks like we got a break, maybe.

101 Fulton Drive.

The man's name is Howard Price.

Gillis and Webster are en route.

Okay, I'm rolling too.

I'm coming with you.

No passengers. I'm sorry. In this case

you'd better make an exception. Howard Price is my father.

Okay. Come on.

[PANTING]

Joni?

Joni, where are you?

Where is she?

You said she'd be out here.

I also said she was shooting heroin.

And that was a lie too.

You're the one who shot me.

Now I got my chance to finish the job...properly.

Do I get a chance,

to find out why I'm being killed?

It doesn't matter.

It matters to me,

'cause if I deserve it...

[PANTING]

...I can handle that.

All right.

For what you did to my little girl.

For turning her onto religion, man?

That's not religion. Not what you do.

Religion is Sunday,

and little girls in confirmation dresses

and boys in suits and ties.

It's seeing good, respectable people,

and hearing sermons.

It's not hanging out with addicts and junkies--

Ex. Ex-addicts and ex-junkies, man.

They're animals.

Well, if they're animals,

what do you call all those cats she was hangin' out with

when she was still on smack?

We got her off of it, Mr. Price.

Oh, I should've been the one to help her.

Me.

And I could've done it, too.

Done it better than you, you filthy black ani--

[GRUNTS]

[SIRENS WAILING]

[TIRES SQUEALING]

[GUNSHOT]

All right, drop it, now.

He-- He--

He hit his head on the side when he fell--

[SIRENS WAILING]

He's not breathing.

Come on, man, breathe.

Breathe.

Daddy, did you hurt anybody?

Yes, baby.

I hurt us.

Oh, oh.

[♪♪♪]

Come on, man, breathe.

[COUGHS]

He's alive.

[PANTING]

Get an ambulance.

You got it.

Welcome back, brother Lazarus.

[PANTING]

Welcome back.

[♪♪♪]

[SIGHS]

Sure you got everything you need?

More than enough, thanks to Mr. North.

DANKO: Well, let's get some

of this stuff down to the car.

GILLIS: Okay, let's do it, huh?

What's in this anyway?

It weighs a ton.

That's the Good Book, friend. Very heavy.

Always has been.

[CHUCKLES]

Can, can you get that?

Okay. I'll try.

Somebody get it.

Okay. Beautiful.

Hey.

GILLIS: Lieutenant.

What are you doing here, lieutenant?

Mrs. Danko.

Well, I was just driving by, I spotted Jones' van,

I thought I'd come up and follow my doctor's orders.

Uh, he thought it might be therapeutic

if I personally visited

the cause of my latest ulcer attack.

Oh, hey, I've got the perfect remedy for that, lieutenant.

A healing session tonight.

We'll pray those ulcers right into oblivion, man.

Thanks. Uh, I don't think so.

Oh, come on, lieutenant. If ever a person needed to be healed.

Uh-- Physicians heal themselves.

Now, if you wanna look that up, you'll find it in the gospel

according to St. Luke, chapter four, verse 23.

All right.

Oh, here's another one for ya.

Second Thessalonians 3:10.

If any would not work, neither should he eat.

That means you're on duty in a half an hour.

Don't be late.

[LAUGHTER]

Amen.
