You know what it is? No, I don't know
what it is. It's big is what it is.

Oh, no.

This is fantastic. Now, where's the on
button? This is it? Oh, my goodness.

is fantastic.

Let me see.

Wait a minute. How do you turn this
thing off? All right. All right. Wait a

minute. There are my girls. There they
are. Look at that.

All right.

Okay, sweet. Okay, all right. Oh, you
guys look great. Wait a second. Here you

go. All right, it's very heavy, honey.
It's very heavy. Just be careful now.

right. Let's get the birthday boy. Okay,
get it on your shoulder like that. The

shirt, man. All right, all right. Yeah,
yeah. Okay, all right. Okay, that's

enough now. That's enough now. Let's
turn it off now. Okay.

Oh, that meat looks so good.

Looks pretty good.

Whoa, whoa.

My notes is tempting you. Oh, no, no,
no.

Oh, no, I don't want to humiliate you.

Oh, he's lost the touch.

Watch what move? What move?

Watch out.

Oh, no.

Look at that old man. Look at him.

I get Deedee whatever she wants.

I come home, I say, Deedee, what do you
want? She tells me I got it. It's true.

What are you saying?

It's true.

Happy birthday, buddy. All right. Thank
you very much. All right, buddy. Thank

you. Happy birthday. Oh, thanks a lot,
man. Thank you. All right. I'll see you

tomorrow. Yeah. Bye, Tom.

Hey, bye -bye, Deedee. Bye. See you next
week, huh?

I wouldn't forget.

Hey,

you guys look good here. I'm telling
you.

Thank you. Thanks a lot.

Yeah, great day, huh? Fall asleep.

Bye.

Do I set that off now?

They

did

this study in Boston a couple of years
ago.

The hotter it got, the higher the crime
rate.

In fact, every 10 degrees or so, it
doubled.

Probably took them a couple hundred
thousand to figure that out, huh?

How many air conditioners do you figure
they could have recharged for that

money? Well, the interesting part is
that up around 98 degrees, the

of the human body, I might note,
everything stops.

The crime rate goes way down.

Well, is this your way of telling us
that...

We're actually lucky to be working the
day shift today.

You know me, Manny. I try to help my men
whenever I can.

Hey, Ron.

Oh, nuts.

No way you're going to get me to go out
there.

You done, Manny? Yeah.

Thanks, Tiger.

Oh, thanks, Tiger.

750. What the hell did you two guys eat?

The next time we'll eat at El Pollo
Grande, okay? Yeah, I promise. Is that

it's called? Yeah, the big chicken.

So did you hear anything from this guy
at Metro?

Yeah. Says they're pretty full right
now. Well, they can afford to pick and

choose. Yeah, well, you know something?
I think we can make any cut they got,

all right?

I know I could.

And I couldn't?

Well, they're just another division.

Yeah, the best.

Well, we got one.

Guy's got no respect.

Come on.

Time to protect and serve.

Yeah, well, let's make it a quickie.

Well, come on, buddy. Wake up and join
the world.

Come on, friend.

Well, I'm up.

Afternoon. Can I see your license?

Yes, sir.

Hey, I'm sorry about the red light.

Take it out of the wallet.

Yes, sir.

All right.

How long have you been in town?

About a week. We've been looking for
work.

What is it? One of the guys got no tabs
on his plates.

Oh.

Thanks.

Do you mind stepping out of the car?

What's it all about, officer?

It's just routine.

All I did was run a red light.

Hold it. Hold it. Mary. Hold it.

Put the weapon down. Hold it.

What are you doing? Get your hands on
the car. Put your hands up on the car.

You drop your gun, man.

Drop your gun. I won't do that. You drop
the gun or he is gone.

Let my partner go.

Let him go. Put the weapon down.

Officer needs help.

Shots fired.

Officer down, fifth in range.

This is Taggart responding to that
shooting.

Take care of this car. Mike, cover me.

Vandell!

Get on this guy.

Manny?

Manny, you okay?

Manny? Come on, Manny. Come on, Manny.

Come with me. Pete, take care of Lewis.

I got you.

Come on.

Help me.

I'll die.

I'll help you.

Manny. I'll help you.

My partner.

So good, Manny.

So good.

Don't worry about it, brother. Come on.
Just come on.

Come on.

It's going to be all right. You did all
you could.

Sit down in here and relax.

Come on.

Don't worry about it.

You did what you could.

It was almost like a dream.

I could see everything.

The gun, pattern of the shirts, color of
the shoes.

It was almost like I wasn't there.

And then I thought about Randy, Lynn.

You know, the moment the driver was
behind him with the gun, I knew Tom was

dead.

And his eyes kept asking me to do
something.

Anything.

Manny, there was nothing else you could
have done.

You did the right thing.

That's what we're here to determine,
Taggart. Department policy dictates that

officer never, never gives up his weapon
in any situation.

What else could he have done?

What the hell else are you going to
determine?

It was a righteous shooting, brother.

He handled it just fine.

25 years I've been on this force.

Never seems to get much easier.

He was, uh... He was the best of us, you
know.

I gotta say, Manny, I...

Oh,

Manny. Oh, baby.

I'm sorry.

She's been in the bedroom all afternoon.

Why, Manny?

Why did this happen?

Lynn called me to tell me what had
happened.

And she told me that you were all right
even before she told me that Tom...

I couldn't believe it.

Okay. And I knew that it was possible. I
couldn't believe it.

Oh, baby.

Your stuff was in the dryer when they
called.

Oh, God, I've dreaded this day ever
since the two of you joined the Academy.

The phone call.

Tommy, are you lying in the street?

They said...

Lynn, I'm awfully sorry.

Oh, Manny.

They killed my husband.

Maybe I could have done something.

Police story will continue in a moment.

was assigned to patrol duties working in
West Bay Area Division during a

seemingly routine stop.

Officers in this area seemed to have
just found themselves in a desperate

situation. Officer Lewis was taken on.

Officer Mandel chose superior judgment
and a point.

He intended to not be disarmed,
perpetrated, but to

single -handedly apprehend them.

This is a great sign.

And on behalf of the city, I bestow our
highest honor, the Police

Medal of Valor to Officer Curtis Mandel.

Mandel?

Mandel? Yeah, Mandel. Jerry Hopper.

I'm your partner today.

You're one of the new transfers, right?

Yeah. Yeah, I came in from Central.

How long have you been at Central?

Well, actually, I've been off probation
too long, but I've been around long

enough to know who you are.

Yeah.

Excuse me.

Yeah, here.

Young. Yo.

And Zellman. Yeah.

All right.

Now, before I let you go, I want to
remind you about something that came

pretty clear at the Medal of Valor
ceremony.

And that is that surrender is no
guarantee of an officer's safety.

Or the safety of others.

Officers Lewis and Mandel followed
procedure.

as set forth in the department manual
and in their training.

And if you are ever faced with a similar
situation.

There seems to be some disagreement.

Yeah, I'm having a little problem with
that.

I don't know, maybe I'm reading this all
wrong, but it seems to me we've got to

leave decisions like that to the cop
that's got to make them.

Well, don't you think you're missing the
objective of this roll call, training

officer Butler?

It concerns department policy.

I know what the policy is, Sergeant. You
tell me.

Next time somebody screws a gun into
your ear, you're going to listen to that

thou shalt never give up thy gun stuff?

It's been three weeks since that
incident, and we still don't know

to do out there.

And that's my point.

We'll never know exactly what to do out
there.

Now, I'm not faulting Lewis and Mandel.

Hell, I was their training officer a few
years ago.

I know them to be good cops.

I think they did a hell of a job under
the circumstances. One hell of a job.

But there is nobody in this room and
there's nobody up there in that ivory

that's going to tell me that I did wrong
if I choose to give up my gun in that

same situation.

That's just my opinion.

Is that you?

Yeah, you bet your sweet life it is.
How's it going?

No, we gotta go pretty soon.

Uh, I'm almost done.

Come on!

Stay out of my way!

Hey, you guys, what's going on?

He keeps crashing into my car!

No, you keep getting in my way!

Honest, wait.

Some squirrels must have chewed it
through. It's a miracle you got any

at all.

You think you can fix it? I already did.

My hero.

Thanks, thanks, Manny. Really, I mean
it. I mean, another day without TV and I

would have a basket case on my hands.

So, Lynn, how's life in the workforce?

Oh, it's... Hey, I'm using brain muscles
I never knew existed.

They're already talking promotion.

So how you doing, Lynn?

Really, how's Randy doing?

He misses his daddy?

You know, it's no way for a son to lose
a father.

How about you?

It's so different.

I didn't realize how much I depended on
Tom.

He loved you very much, you know.

I know.

I know that. It's just hard, you know.

It's going to be all right.

I promise you that.

That,

my friend, is what's called shooting.

That's

Mandel,

isn't it?

Yeah.

Aren't you Mandel?

Yeah.

I thought so.

Yeah, I had security duty at the Medal
of Valor Awards.

That was some shootout.

Mandel, we just want to let you know
that it's a good piece of police work.

If I ever get the same position, I hope
I do as well.

You better hope you can do better.

Maybe that was like a tribute.

What was?

What they were saying?

What, they should get down and kiss my
ring because three men got killed and I

won a medal of valor?

Excuse me, maybe I'm speaking out of
turn. Yeah, maybe you are. When you've

there, then you can talk about it.

That's my point.

You've been there, Manny.

I mean, you know, man, you passed the
test.

I mean, you know, all the guys, you
know, like them, me, we have it.

I mean, you know, we think about it,
man.

And we wonder if we can handle it, you
know, like you did.

Yeah, well, don't do that.

I was pushed into it, you know. I
reacted the way I did because I didn't

choice.

At least I didn't think I did.

Ready on the right, ready on the left,
ready on the firing line.

You've been paired up, what, two months
now?

Three. Yeah, how's it working out?

How's it working out?

How would you feel if they teamed you up
with someone that was weaker than you,

couldn't shoot as good as you, didn't
have your experience?

I wouldn't feel too good.

That's exactly how Mona feels.

I keep telling her she'll get used to me
after a while.

Hi.

Hey, Peck.

Talk to you for a minute? Sure, Manny.
What do you need?

I put in for a transfer to Metro about a
year ago. Oh, it takes time, man. It

took me two years to get over there.

Well, actually, I changed my mind about
Metro. See, there's an opening at fiscal

planning. Fiscal planning?

You want to sit on your butt all day in
front of a computer?

How kind of life is that?

Maybe it's my kind of life.

I just want to put in for a transfer,
okay?

Sure, man.

See what I can do.

Okay, thanks.

All right, buddy. Let's talk.

Yes,

Charlie. I want that 1018 report from
two days ago. You owe it.

You know

something?

I think the heat's easing up a little
bit.

Huh? What do you think?

I wonder if that's good or bad.

Well, maybe we got to ask Taggart, huh?

Hey.

Is something wrong?

No, nothing.

I heard what you told Taggart.

This is Jerry. You could have stayed at
Central. Am I right?

Yeah. Yeah, all right. So how come you
left?

My probation was up.

I don't know. I guess I just...

I figured I needed a change. All right,
well, you see, there you go. That's me,

all right? It's nothing personal. I just
figured, you know, I need a change.

Woo!

Yeah, come on.

7 -8 -31, Watson warrants on 3, Edward,
2, 9, 3, Charlie, 8.

7 -8 -31, stand by. 7 -8 -33, go again.
I'm going to check the sheet.

This

is

7 -8 -31, code 6 at Montclair in
Washington.

We got a traffic violation. We are still
requesting wants and warrants on 3

Edward 293 Charlie 8.

7831, roger. On your code 6 location.

I'm up.

Morning.

Morning, officer.

See driver's license, please.

Look. I know why you stopped me, and I'm
sorry.

It's just that I'm late for work over in
the financial district.

You're doing a good 30 miles up the
speed limit.

Officer, please, look.

I've never had a ticket in my life.

Couldn't you let me go this once?

I'm going to still have to see your
driver's license.

Yeah, okay, sure.

All right.

It's in here someplace.

And a 7831, the vehicle is stolen.

Please... Hey, you freeze!

Now you move and I'll kill you, man. Get
your hands right. Get your hands right.

I was just trying to find my license,
man. Get him out of the car. It's not

It's hot? Yeah, it's hot. Get him out of
the car.

Get out of the car. Wait, shut up! There
must be some mistake!

Yep.

The car ain't stolen.

Just raise your legs.

Oh, man.

I got him.

All right, check under the seat. What?

I said check under the seat.

Manny, man, I don't want to hear it, all
right? Don't say nothing to me. Look,

man, I know... Don't say nothing to me.
Now, how many times do they tell you

you've got to watch your hands, huh?
Man, no, he's just a kid. A kid?

Huh? That kid would have blown you away,
all right, rookie?

I'm sorry, all right?

If you're not half as sorry as I'd be,
I'd have to bury another partner.

You gonna forget about all those little
people once you get to the top?

You got your wish, Manny.

Transfer came through already, huh?

Fiscal planning must be pretty hard up.

Oh, it's better than fiscal planning.

Mandel, West Division to Metro.

Take it easy, Manny.

Remember your heart.

You know, I put in for that application
over a year ago.

Why now?

Cobweb's in the big blue machine.

You know how long this department takes.

You mean now that I'm a hero, I get to
be a super cop, right?

I'd say that was a healthy contributing
factor, yeah.

Look, Manny, I know what a lot of
uniforms around here think about Metro.

The Madonnas, et cetera, et cetera. But
Metro doesn't accept just anybody.

They get the best.

I'm no super cop, Tag.

Don't underestimate yourself, Manny.
This is a good move for you. Yeah? Why?

Because they hung a medal on me. I never
asked for it.

And I never wanted it.

But you damn well deserve it.

Look, Manny.

I wrote you up for this.

Don't make me out to be a liar.

Hey, Uncle Madden, watch this.

All right, Randy, good.

He's so conceited.

Where'd you learn a word like that?

School means stuck up.

Oh, thanks.

You think maybe you could be a little
extra nice to Randy?

Look, sweetie, here comes your mommy.

Hi. Hi.

Hi.

What'd you do, spend my pension already?

We were conservative.

Think of the damage we could have done.
Hi, sweetie.

How about giving your mommy a kiss? I
can't, I'm cooking.

Oh, excuse me.

Hey, Mom, check this out.

All right.

That's my boy, the amazing athlete.

He's just like his old man.

Hey, why don't you stay for dinner and
help us celebrate Nanny's transfer?

I would love to, but I got to get this
one home. Get him started on his science

project. Are you sure you don't want to
stay for a little while?

I'm a working girl. I got to get up in
the morning. Come on, Randy.

Get your board and let's hit the road.

Take it easy.

I'll see you later.

Okay, buddy. See you later. Bye.

It's okay, Manny. I do it all the time.

I think you better wash your hands. What
is this thing? You're a mess.

Hey, what are you doing?

Well, I don't particularly like it up
there, that's all.

Great, you should be proud of it. I'm
very proud of it. Proud?

I'm tired.

I'm tired of being paraded around like
I'm some big shot hero.

Why the hell do you think I got that
transfer to Metro?

Huh? I don't want that transfer now.

I mean, this thing is no award, Dee.

This thing is like...

It's like a brand on me. You know, it's
like a stigma on me.

You know, I think you're forgetting what
the medal represents.

This thing doesn't represent heroism or
bravery, Dee.

This thing represents the moment I let
my best friend die.

Yeah, but he's dead, Manny.

And nothing you do is going to change
that.

You don't think I know that?

I can't even mention his name without
hurting somebody.

I realize he's gone, Dee.

You're going to let that just paralyze
you?

I mean, you got the transfer that you
have been wanting for a year.

You're going to walk away from that?

I mean, if you're going to do that, you
might as well call the station and tell

them your career's over.

Is that what you want?

Is that what you've been working for?

We're a little short -handed on the
night watch now, so let me see. I'll

under advisement. I'll see what I can
do.

Did I help you?

Lieutenant Ramos?

Yeah.

Mandel. Good to meet you. Welcome to the
family. Thank you.

We take you on a tour.

All right, guys. Let's go. I want that
case on my desk before lunchtime.

You really are like a family around
here. Yes, I've heard that, sir.

We enjoy ourselves. We expect a little
extra effort. I've heard that also. I'll

do my best.

That's all we ask.

Do a good job.

We take care of our own. You're backed
all the way. And the captain on down.

Senior record, Mandel.

There's some shooting you have.

Hey, where's your pin?

My what?

The Medal of Valor pin.

I guess I forgot to put it on today.

Well, when you work in uniform, make
sure you wear it.

We take pride in our policemen here at
Metro.

We expect them to take pride in
themselves.

I'm sure you're as good as they say you
are.

Glad to have your board.

Better be the next station.

I want to go now.

I want to go now.

Let's go. Get off.

Hey, about time.

Right.

Here we go.

Let's see who gets the, uh, tacos, the
chemo, leaky.

There you go.

This one looks like mine, thank you.
Excuse me, I'll talk to you guys later,

huh? Yep, there you go. All right.

Uh, hey, Manny.

You gonna pay the guy or what?

This is kind of a tradition we have here
at Metro.

What, the new guy pays?

Well, not exactly that. Grady Dolan
never pays.

All right, let me see it.

Oh, man.

There you go.

Oh, yeah.

Got to admit, you guys eat well.

My partners eat well. It's the secret of
a good marriage.

I thought it was the give and take.

211 just went down with some shots
fired. A supermarket, 6791 West Hobart.

Ambulance en route. I need a unit to
keep it under control. Dolan, Mandel,

you're up.

Let's go.

Keep it warm.

Give us some room to work.

Excuse me, ma 'am. Out of the way.

They're coming back. Come on, back off.
Back off.

They just shot him down.

I told him not to go after him, but he
chased him out the door.

He was just stomping into some suntan
lotion.

He's going to take his wife to Hawaii.

Ron? You know, I'm a second, honey.

Ron?

Oh, God.

I'm all right.

Okay? I'm fine.

Look, I didn't know Butler Manning, but
the guy was a pro.

It was a job that needed to be done, and
he did it.

He was off duty, you know? What the hell
did he go and get into it for?

The same reason you or me would have
gotten involved.

Same reason.

So are we going to get some work done
today, or what? Turn up here, will you?

Where are we going?

Just indulge me, will you?

Are you thinking of making a little book
here, or what?

Not a problem.

Or a snitch of mine.

Now, you better stay here.

Yeah.

Yeah, salvation in the fifth.

Yeah, I got it.

Manny.

What's going on, Henry?

Metra sent you back down here to the
miners for a little seasoning?

Eh, it's just a little homesick, Henry,
that's all.

Homesick? For this neighborhood?

Not too many people are going to be able
to say they feel nostalgia for this

place.

Yeah, well, see, I had a beholder,
Henry.

Does that mean that this new job leaves
something to be desired?

It's not a new job, Henry.

Same old badge.

So this isn't just a social call.

Is it ever?

Should be.

Now and then.

Might do you some good.

What are you working on?

Nothing in particular.

I just want to know what you've been
hearing.

Not much.

The rap music drowns it all out.

Anything specific?

Stuff's gonna kill you, Henry.

Don't mean I won't die happy.

But you don't know about that.

You never drink my whiskey.

Never say never, Henry.

Never say never.

Manny. Hi. I was in the neighborhood.

I thought maybe I'd come by and I'd see
how your TV was doing. It's Ron Butler,

isn't it?

You heard, huh?

Yeah, one of the guys called me.

Come on. Come on in.

You know, I'm over at the butler's.

And it's like I'm reliving a nightmare,
you know.

I'm doing for Annie what Ron did for you
when Tom... Manny, you're a little

messed up right now.

You should be telling this to Dee Dee.
No, see, I can't do that.

Because I don't think she'd understand.

I mean, I don't think I even understand.

What makes you think that I do?

Suddenly I'm the expert when another cop
gets shot and a wife is left alone.

Lynn, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Sometimes I
lie in bed

and I want to scream out at Tom.

Where are you?

Why aren't you here?

With me?

With your son?

Why did you cheat us?

God, it's damn bad. It's so important.

Oh, look, this is crazy for me to come
here. I'm sorry, Lynn.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

We hurt so much.

I want the pain to go away.

You're so much alike.

Police story will continue in a moment.

All right, let's go.

Okay, guys, settle down, will you? Find
a seat.

Let's get this thing going.

We got some pretty good information on
the guys that did that supermarket job

the other day. Between our own snitches
and our undercover, we've been able to

positively ID the outfit we're looking
for.

Get the lights.

This character is Casper Banks.

He's the leader of the pack.

Now, this guy is an animal. He killed a
motorcycle cop in San Jose in 1980.

Get seven large on a life sentence, then
skate it out on parole.

Thanks to our ever -vigilant criminal
justice system.

Now, these other two characters aren't
exactly Barbie dolls either.

But our people say that Banks is the
shooter.

Yeah, do we know for sure there's only
three of them? You're a cop. You'll take

nothing for granted.

As you can see from the slides, one of
them wears a field jacket, and the other

one an overcoat.

They're armed with a carbine and a .45
and other concealables.

Sounds like a regular arsenal.

The usual M .O. is to hit a supermarket
an hour before the armored car pickup.

They're in and out in a matter of
seconds.

Very fast and very deadly. We're talking
fake -out time here.

It's hot out there, so don't forget to
replenish your precious bodily fluids as

you find necessary.

Remember... There'll be no shooting
inside the stores.

So wait for your backup and keep your
response teams well informed.

These guys are walking lethal weapons.

They're responsible for two dead cops,
one up north and one of our guys, Ron

Butler. Ron tried to play lonesome
cowboy in one of the jobs and ended up a

hero. I don't want any dead heroes on my
team.

So call for backup and wait till they're
on the street.

And if you have to,

Cancel their tickets.

Permanently.

Alright, let's move it.

Want a peach?

It's better than that green stuff you've
been drinking all day long.

What do you think Ramos would say if he
came up here?

He'd approve.

We're conserving body fluid.

Hey, 23,

this is OP4. What's happening down
there?

Let me put it this way, OP4.

The fact that we're sitting here in an
air -conditioned car and...

You're up there on a 150 -degree roof.
It just tells me that there really is a

God.

Oh, yeah, and tell me why is it so hot
this close to heaven?

It's going down. What? It's going down.

What's happening?

It's happening. It's going down.

All right.

Open the doors.

Open the doors.

One's got a carbine. One's got a
shotgun. All right. Carbine and a

What happened?

Help me, man.

It's point three at location four. We
need backup now.

All right. All right. Let's go, man.

All right.

Very good.

Suspect headed north on Union. Come on
your way, Manny.

Okay, I got it.

Yeah, man!

Yeah! We got it, man! We did it!

Freeze, man. I got you, man.

Thank you.

You okay?

Are you?

I'm shooting down here. What happened?

It's been down.

Tell me what happened.

Yeah, boy.

I said he got away.

These guys are stupid enough, stupid
enough to go up against us. And we had

called. It was like being on the shotgun
range.

Ready on the rise.

Ready on the left.

Man,

these guys are supposed to be bad,
right?

Women, children, supermarket employees.

Grand, right?

Yes, sir.

I'll buy you a drink.

No, thanks.

I think I've had enough.

Hey, Bennett, come on and join us. I'll
have a couple of cold ones.

Is Metro number one or we number one?

You guys look great today.

How's it going, Manny?

Just watching the game, man.

Want me to press it down?

That world.

I am too hot.

What, are you hustling me, Dolan?

In a word.

Yeah.

You're so hot.

How come you guys lost Casper today?

Things happen.

I don't know if you remember or not, but
the first time I talked to you was at

the shooting range.

Combat course.

Yeah. How you doing?

All right. It's funny we end up working
together, huh?

I wondered what it would be like if it
ever happened to me.

Everybody does.

I mean, Peter's, man, you know.

He's on some kind of adrenaline high or
something. He can't come down.

Yeah.

How about you?

I don't think I'm gonna get any sleep
tonight.

You got that right.

I still see everything so clear.

The faces.

Does it wear off?

If I ever find that, I'll let you know.

Hey, that looks good.

Hope you're making some of that for me.

I am.

Good.

Hiya.

What time did you get in last night?

Too late.

Hi, Daddy. Want some breakfast?

Not right now, sweetie.

Gotta eat something.

Maybe later.

Here,

Daddy. Have some waffle.

To make some bacon.

Some more coffee?

Oh, come on. Will you stop it?

It's all right. Let's get ready for
school.

Oh, hey, do you want me to put your hair
in pigtail curls or... Oh, I know what

we'll do. I'll put it up different than
I did before. Okay, you run on up, sir.

I'll be there in a minute, okay?

What is wrong with you?

What is wrong with me?

Hello, this is your wife speaking. You
just bit off your daughter's head for no

apparent reason, and you're telling me
nothing is wrong. Yelling at Linda, who

was driving me crazy at the time, is not
exactly a criminal offense these days.

She needs a little discipline, that's
all.

Hey, would you just listen to yourself?

Your daughter is up there crying because
her daddy can't control his emotions.

She worships you, ma 'am. I am not a
saint, all right? I am not a hero. Now,

maybe the problem is everybody expects
me to be one. Well, I am not one. I

asked to be one. No, no one expects
perfection from you. That is you.

You have always demanded perfection from
yourself, from Tom, from all of us for

years.

Look, I am sorry.

We are humans.

We have flaws. We all make mistakes.

Manny.

Manny, I do not want a hero for a
husband.

I just need you to love me and love our
daughter.

Baby, I just want to feel safe with you.
That's all. I

can't

keep running away from this problem.

Eighteen percent?

Eighteen percent.

You realize that if I was taking calls
on NFL games, my juice would be ten

percent. But for the department stores,
eighteen isn't enough.

What's your rate?

What's your rate now? 50 %? A week?

Come on.

No, Manny.

I'm not in that business anymore.

Too much pain and misery.

So,

you're not into loan sharking.

You're not into snitching.

What are you into, Henry?

Let's just call it social work.

Not that I mind, but, you know, there
are such places as bars and liquor

I got a partner of work.

I got a wife at home.

Where else am I going to go?

Not too flattering, huh?

At least you're honest.

Well?

Maybe anyway?

Maybe tomorrow.

I'll have these guys take the back.

All right.

Thank you.

Lieutenant, what you got?

Bank's place. We've been staking it out
since yesterday morning.

It showed up about 20 minutes ago.

Newkirk and Pa are going in right here.
All right.

So, uh, we'll take the back, huh?

Yeah. Figured you guys like another
shot, eh?

You kidding?

Let's go and take your positions. Let's
go.

Newkirk, Pa, get ready, take your
positions, and stay on them. I don't

change. I want you guys to take it nice
and clean.

Let's go.

You all right?

Drop a cue right where you stand.

I can't do that.

What?

I can't do that.

Drop it.

Drop it!

Good

boy.

Now you'll be my ticket out of here.

Don't even breathe.

Come stand

here.

Pick up your gun!

What's wrong with you, man?

It was going to kill you.

You had the edge.

You want me to cuff him?

Clovers and backup.

You think you can handle that?

Police story will continue in a moment.

You didn't have to wait up.

No, I didn't.

I'm sorry I'm late.

No problem.

I know, I should have called. I said
it's no problem.

How's Linda?

Basically, she's all right.

I mean, I had a long talk with her, and,
you know, she'll work it out.

Yeah.

I was a jerk.

Yeah, you were.

Manny.

Manny, listen to me.

You have got to tell me what's
happening. Dee Dee, I don't know what's

all right? I don't know what's
happening.

Yeah, well, you've got to open up
because it's going to be... Honey, I

empty.

I just miss him so much.

I mean, we did everything together.

Manny and Tom, Tom and Manny. You know,
it's like one name all rolled together.

He didn't just finish my senses. He
finished my food.

And now, you know, now that he's gone, I
mean, I'm like I'm walking around in

pieces. No, you know, you don't know,
Dee Dee.

It's not just that a friend of mine
died.

It's like the half of me that always
knew what to do, right?

The half of me that didn't ever have to
ask questions.

It's like the edge you need, Dee Dee.

It's the edge you need on the street.

Well, I don't have it anymore.

But you have got to stop carrying Tom's
ghost around on your back.

You have got to start living your own
life, Manny.

You have got to let Tom go.

You know, lately, I've actually been
thinking that you and Lynn and

I were a triangle.

But I was wrong.

It's really you, Lynn, and Tom.

No, I'm not saying that anything
actually went on between you two, but...

But lately, I've been the one that's
been being excluded.

Honey. No, no, no.

Manny, it's all right.

I am your wife.

But we have got to get through this
thing together.

Or we will come out on the other side.

Manny. Manny, Manny, Manny.

You have always been a fighter.

And that's why I love you so much.

But you have got to fight what you're
feeling now. You have got to.

Sometimes I think I could get over what
happened to Tom if they hadn't given me

the damn medal.

You're missing the point, man. I'm not.
It's the gas line. All I'm saying is his

shooting, the one he got the medal for,
was a fine job. Yeah, real fine.

Only his partner didn't walk away from
it.

How much do I even want to tell him that
he's not going to give him out like

bubblegum cards?

Oh, you don't even know what you're
talking about. I know what I've seen,

Mandela ain't shown me nothing. Well, he
doesn't have to prove anything to you.

Tell him, Grady, huh?

You got stitches in your side because of
him. You ought to know.

You're right. I do know, and you don't.
So keep your mouth shut.

This Nick here, is he ever going to turn
anything?

He's working on something. Look, Mendel,
we've been coming here every day for

the last couple of weeks. What are you
doing, playing the horses or what? I

he's working on something.

It all comes down to money, don't you
think?

My first one left me because I didn't
make enough.

My second one left me because she didn't
like the way I made it.

Now my current one, she still thinks of
money as the stuff that you buy lunch

with at the school cafeteria.

I may have a chance with her.

The major problem is credit cards.

They don't know.

Is this what you've been working on?

Seems like something's been working on
you. It doesn't concern you. The hell it

doesn't.

You want another partner?

Huh?

You got it. That's fine with me, but
what about the poor guy I turned you

to?

How you doing?

I'm great, man. I've never been better.

Good. So tell me, how do you like Metro?

It's great.

I'm the all -American hero. I fit right
in. I got my pin and everything.

Good.

I was talking with Grady Doe. I hear the
two of you talk.

You know Grady, huh?

Yeah. Oh, I read it.

You mean he gave you a call?

Look, Manny, I got a couple of tickets
for the game on Sunday. Interested?

Hey, Ray, draw me a cool one, huh?

Won't even watch it anymore, huh?

I can remember when you played
interdepartmental.

Fullback, right?

Halfback. Shows how memorable I was.

You were the best, Manny.

You know it.

Yeah, it was pretty good.

That was pretty good.

Yeah. You were good.

Putting them away, huh?

I'm not training for anything anymore,
Tag.

Damn it, Manny. So you've been in some
action.

You lost your partner.

Now, a lot of cops go 20 years without
even taking out their gun. And they

wonder, Manny.

They wonder how they'd handle it.

But you know, you've been there. You're
alive.

How many cops do you think wouldn't
settle just for that? Listen, Tag.

I don't give a damn what any other cop
would settle for.

Don't you see that?

What I'm starting to see is that you
better just do your job or get the hell

of the department before you get
yourself killed. Or somebody else.

Where you are now, Manny, you don't go
to anybody.

Not even yourself.

You know something?

You're a good friend, Dag.

But you've been listening to a lot of
rumors.

Uh -uh, Manny.

I wouldn't have come to see you if I
thought it was just a rumor.

Now look, this place,

this isn't where you're going to solve
your problems.

So if you won't talk to me, why don't
you give Dee Dee a chance?

Go home, Annie.

Go home now.

I need you.

Police story will continue in a moment.

He looked very...

Thanks. I just got home.

I was out on a date, Manny, you believe
it?

Pete Levin, from my office. Nice guy.

I didn't know you were seeing anybody.

Well, I'm making a life for myself.

I mean, it sure ain't easy, but I gotta
move on.

Why'd you come here?

I don't know.

I don't know. I guess sometimes I feel
like I'm supposed to come here.

Like I'm supposed to fill in.

I'm supposed to take care of you.

And have me take care of you.

Yeah. It's no good, Manny. You can't
keep thinking that it's safe at my

That I'm going to have the answers for
you.

But I... I can't shake this thing.

I mean, I can't shake this feeling like
I could have done something.

You know, I tried to help him.

I did everything I could.

You know, a man with a gun...

He's holding it on your partner.

And Tom is just standing there. He's
just, he's not saying

anything. He's just looking at me. He's
counting on me.

I mean, you know what that's like?

To keep seeing this thing over and over
and over and over. And you just want to

yell stop.

And you just want to freeze the moment.

And keep Tom alive.

Look, Manny, you have suffered a
terrible loss.

Your best friend is gone, right?

But my husband is dead.

My baby's father.

The man that I slept next to for 12
years, who held me when I cried and who

me his secrets when he was scared.

Manny. No, no, no. This is about
somebody else's pain besides yours.

There isn't a minute.

of any hour, of any day, that I don't
think about Tom.

His memory is like my heartbeat. It's
always there.

And that memory is going to have to keep
me warm on all those cold nights, and

it's going to have to teach me how to
fix Randy's bike, and it's going to have

to show me how to build his damn science
projects.

And you know what?

Maybe I'll meet somebody else.

I hope I do.

And that'll be all right, too.

Because I'll always have Tom.

And you will, too.

It's just so hard.

Well, who the hell said it would be
easy?

Manny, I don't want you to ask my
permission.

To live.

And I don't want... I don't want to feel
guilty

about living without Tom.

Thank you very much. Bye. Thank you.

All right, buddy.

Thank you. Happy birthday. Oh, thanks a
lot, man. Thank you.

Bye,

Tom. Thanks. Bye.

Bye. See you next time.

No, I was watching TV.

Yeah, well, it's kind of late, you know.

I thought maybe there was a late movie
on.

You know, I don't want to see a movie.

I want to see you.

I'm right here, Dee.

Are you?

I thought about running away.

I thought about a lot of things.

I've been real confused, you know. I
mean, that's what happens when somebody

dies. You question everything.

But then, a few minutes ago, I started
thinking about you and me.

And about Linda.

About our family for the first time in a
long time.

I don't know, Dee. I must have got lost
somewhere.

Because I want to get through this.

I want to find my way back.

Then stop beating yourself up.

I mean, it's not a perfect world, honey.

You did what you were trained to do and
something awful happened.

And nothing could have ever prepared you
for... I mean, I don't think that

you're ever going to feel right about
this.

But it wasn't wrong.

You did your best.

Didn't you?

Hey, listen to me.

You are a good cop.

You are a good friend and you're a good
man.

Don't make yourself up. Everybody else
already has.

I know.

I want to get through this.

Can you wait for me a little longer?

I'll always wait for you

Look, Vandell, about the other day, the
way I jumped on you. You were right.

Yeah, well, I came down hard.

Look, I had a comment, all right? I
talked to Ramos. He's going to make the

change next week.

Units on 11 and 23, clear.

Any unit in the vicinity see the woman
in domestic disturbance?

618, Vincent.

Any unit identify and handle code 2.

What? I'm glad I don't have to get into
that.

What are you talking about? We're right
here.

Oh, I hate those things.

What, you think I like them?

You know, we're right on top of it. Come
on, let's do the job.

sure you got the right address yeah come
on i hate these things

Police officers, somebody call.

Get out of here. Get out of here.

What do you want from me?

It's okay.

He's gone.

I was just calling to tell you.

You sure you're okay, Mrs. Sample?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'll be fine.

Thank you very much for coming so
quickly.

No problem.

I'm glad we were nearby.

You sure you don't want us to stay for a
little while?

Yeah, really.

I'm sure everything's fine now.

All right. You take care.

He's normally not like this.

And it's not the drinking either.

Maybe it's the heat or something.

He's normally really nice.

And then all of a sudden he just... He
just changes.

That's why I had to have him move out of
the house.

Well, if he gives you any more trouble,
you give us a call, ma 'am. Thank you.

You guys are really nice.

Hey, put the gun down.

Rub it. Rub it now.

Shut up.

Put the weapon down.

Go away. It's between me and her. All
right, all right. You put the weapon

and we'll go, all right? You put the
weapon down and then we'll go.

I'm not stupid.

Let go of your wife.

I told you, Mary, I ain't stupid.

How come you did this?

Don't. Shoot, shoot.

She's right, man. We'll drop you right
now. Right now. Hey, what's your name?

What's your name? What's his name?

Ronnie. Shut up. All right. I'm Manny.
Just talk to me, okay? I'm Manny. Shut

up. Okay.

Okay. All I want to do is listen.

That's all I'm going to do is listen.

Okay?

Shoot.

Stay where I can see you.

Let go.

Just let me go. Ronnie. Why don't you
shoot him? Shut up, man. Shut up now.

him up. Hey, Ronnie.

Ronnie. Ronnie.

Maybe there's another way to go here,
all right?

Maybe we can help.

Listen, man, I know what you're going
through.

What do you know, man?

I know it's not easy.

I know you're pretty upset right now.

I know you feel like it's never going to
pass.

But I'll tell you something, Ronnie.
Sure as rains here in the winter, you

going to make it past all this.

That's something I do know.

Get these guys out of here. Get these
guys out of here. Get these guys out of

here. Get these guys out of here.

Keep this area clear, all right?

Easy, easy, easy.

Easy, easy.

All right, Ronnie.

All right, everybody cool. Everybody
cool. Ronnie, Ronnie, is that your gun?

I borrowed it from a guy.

But I know how to use it now. Yeah,
well, everybody thinks they know how to

a gun, Ronnie.

But have you ever actually pulled the
trigger?

There's always a first time.

All right, well, listen to this.

I got a suggestion, okay? It's a
suggestion.

You see that couch right there?

See that couch?

Put a bullet in it.

What? See what it feels like to actually
pull the trigger.

You think I'm in a... Do it! See what it
can do, man. See what it can do. See

what it could do to your wife.

See what it can do.

All right, you think it's a trick?

Huh? You think it's a trick?

Okay. It's not a trick.

How's this?

Okay, easy. Ronnie!

How's that? Easy, easy, easy, easy,
easy. Easy, Ronnie.

Ronnie.

Ronnie.

What are you waiting for?

Come on, this takes maybe a second.

Ronnie, just give it up!

Shut up! You're crazy!

Come on, Ronnie, it takes maybe a
second. It takes maybe a second.

You're crazy!

Easy, easy, Ronnie. Right here. Easy,
Ronnie.

Ronnie, right here with me. With me,
man. With me, Ronnie.

Right here. Right here.

Right here.

Ronnie. Ronnie.

Okay?

Okay.

Okay.

How about that, huh?

How about that?

That's not what you expected, is it,
huh?

There's a lot of power.

There's a lot of power to wreck things.

If you come any closer, I'll kill you.

Ronnie, you don't want to kill anybody.
I'll kill you. You don't want to kill

anybody, Ronnie.

I mean, you know what it feels like to
pull the trigger.

Look at that couch.

Look at the couch.

That took maybe a tenth of a second.

You know what it's going to take to fix
that thing?

No matter how much time or money you
spend, man, that thing is never going to

look like it used to.

Now, listen to me.

You think about what that could do to a
life, okay? Mine, yours, your wife's,

your baby's.

I mean, you fire that gun right now,
it's never going to stop echoing.

You love her, don't you?

You love her.

That's why you're here now.

But you could never do that to somebody
you love.

Right?

Right?

All right.

Okay.

Take it easy. Take it easy, man.

I'm sorry.

You're going to be fine, Ronnie.

You're going to be fine.

Okay.

Here you go.

You okay?

You could have put him down. You know
that.

Yeah, I did.

Go to Act 2 for Z223.
