Something strange is happenin', y'all noticing?

No, what do you mean, "strange"?

I don't know, somethin' in the air, you know?

Hmm, it's Gee. He's been actin' funky.

It's like, you make eye contact with him,

he looks away, like he's-- he's distracted or something.

Isn't he always like that?

You're paranoid, Meldrick!

Paranoid? What do you mean I'm paranoid? Paranoid of what?

You're afraid Gee set you up with the new guy.

You've been begging and begging for a new partner for months.

And you're faced with the possibility of failure.

Failure? Failure?

Yeah, yeah, you've been partnered with us at least once,

and every case turned out to be a disaster.

That's not true, Munch.

You don't make it with Kellerman, you're dead.

Now, I am first on line for a partner, okay?

I've been alone longer than anybody else.

I would prefer to work with somebody, okay?

I'm ready.

Hey, Kellerman, what's up?

What's up?

That's Crosetti's desk.

That's my old partner, Steve. He used to sit there.

What the hell is that?

May I have everyone's attention, please?

We need to evacuate the building immediately.

Now, take all the essentials you need,

relating to the cases you're working on.

But we must be out in five minutes.

So, move!

What the hell is it this time?

Gas leak.

- Gas leak? - Yeah, a pipe broke in the basement.

The whole building could explode.

I told you there was somethin' in the air.

How long until they get it fixed?

- Oh, we're not sure. - Ballpark? Half hour? Hour?

- It could be as long as a week. - A week?

I left a tuna fish sandwich on my desk!

Let's just hope in the meantime nobody gets murdered.

Frank, it's a gas leak.

I can't find the crime lab report for the Marsh case!

Hello? Hello? Hello!

Lewis and Kellerman, Harlem and Fremont.

A woman's been shot.

Am I correct in assuming you're givin' me a partner here, Gee?

I'm giving you a case.

I'm giving Kellerman a case. Same case.

I'll give it to Captain. Where's the keyboard?

Right there.

Oh, and Kellerman, by the way,

we don't wear jeans in Homicide.

Pants, khakis, chinos.

Nino Cerruti, if you feelin' fashionable.

Anybody here holding a set of car keys?

Half the cars are in the shop for repairs anyways.

Hey, Gee, I'm gonna need cab fare or another car.

Go and wait for the next car to come in.

If I have to, I'll have a uniform car drive you, now, Go!

Go! Go! Go!

I understand you like ridin' shotgun.

Who the hell told you that?

I'm a detective, I do my homework.

You were talking to Bayliss, right?

Well, if he gave you some sob story about me

smacking into the back of the ME van,

well, that was not my fault.

I like driving, you don't, so, I'll drive.

Whoa!

- You done with that? - No. Not yet.

I got a stabber in [indistinct], Bayliss in here?

In there.

He shouldn't leave a department vehicle running like that.

Yeah. It could get stolen.

Lieutenant said take the first car in.

- We shouldn't. - You're right.

Grand Theft Auto, baby!

Hey! You son of a--

You sons of bitches!

- You want this one? - Want what?

- Want to be the primary? - Nah, you be the primary.

All right, that's cool. That's all right, I understand.

First case, you know, in over your head.

I didn't say that, I just think it would be better

if I back you up, cover your ass.

Yeah, right, right, right, play it safe.

Let me just tell you one thing.

You gotta do everythin' I say, all right?

Look, there's nothing I won't do,

but some things are gonna cost you extra.

Hey, you, kid, with the camera, beat it.

Yeah, would you take your behind that tape?

Could I get a uniform over here--

Officer, I was the first guy on the sight,

I mean, if you want me to go, I'm gonna go,

- just don't block my shot. - Don't block your shot?

- What's your name, kid? - Uh, J.H. Brodie, from Channel 8.

J.H. Brodie, aren't you a little young for this line of work?

I just started part-time.

Are you working your way through school?

I'm in grad school, I'm a major in journalism right now.

- Noble profession. - When did you get here?

I got here before the uniforms did. I heard it on the scanner.

What did you see when you got here?

Well, I was running with the camera, at the same time trying to get it started.

Wait, so, you didn't see anything?

No.

Now, would you get back behind the tape, please?

Thank you. See ya.

I don't know, Kellerman.

No evidence of charring, not a gas can in sight.

How are we gonna utilize your knowledge and expertise

from Arson in this particular situation?

- Where's her purse? - Maybe she ain't got one.

Do you know a woman over 60 who doesn't?

Oh, now it's about some purse snatcher.

And she resists, bang, end of story.

Uh-huh.

Two entrance wounds.

One front, one back.

Shooter stood here, capped her once.

Then he capped her again.

And then she fell.

Oh, it's Officer Schanne.

Have met my illustrious new partner,

Mike Kellerman of the barbecue squad?

Sure have, slummin' with murder police now, Mike?

What can I tell you?

More importantly, what can you tell us?

That couple over there, saw the victim just before the shooting.

Recognized her as the sister of a neighbor.

Sister's name is Rita Clayborn. Here's the address.

We need to get a positive ID, Lewis.

Let's go find the sister, maybe she'll recognize this.

Hey, hey, let the lab boys handle that, all right?

- Too late now. - Yeah.

All right, well, let's go canvass the people in the cheap seats.

Bad news can wait.

Okay, fellas.

Wanna bag her up, and get her off the street, please?

Minus that brooch. She's all yours.

So, you two saw the shooting?

No, no, we saw the woman before she was shot.

When we were coming back--

I nodded to her, because I recognized her

from coming in and out of Mrs. Clayborn's house.

I mean, if we had been talkin' to her,

I might have been killed.

What's her name?

I'm not sure, I just know her

as, you know, Mrs. Clayborn's sister.

What are your two names?

Gina Doolen.

- Doolen? - Mm-hm.

And yours?

Jonathan

H-E-I-N-E.

-"Heine"? - Heine.

And you both live next door to the deceased woman's sister?

No.

We're not married.

We barely know each other.

We're on a blind date.

Hey, buddy, would you cover her face for me?

Just cover her face. Great.

Yeah. Thank you.

Tell me everything that happened,

'cause any small detail you remember could help.

I'd just like to try and forget the whole thing.

I understand, seeing someone get killed, I'd be shaken up too.

No, I mean the date.

He's the brother of one of my co-workers.

She said I'd fall madly in love with him.

Let me tell you, if she thinks I'd go for him,

I have to seriously rethink what she thinks of me.

"Where's the strangest place you ever had sex?"

Excuse me?

That's what she said to me right before the...

I meant it as a joke.

That woman's a real bitch.

So, um, where's the strangest place

you've ever had sex?

Check.

This move has done nothing

but wreak havoc on my detectives.

- Kay? - Yes, sir?

Come up a moment.

I mean, the building's not being maintained.

The cars are not being maintained.

My sanity's not even being maintained.

This is typical of how the Department is run.

You know, why did I think sharing an office with you again

would be fun?

- Yes, Gee? - I got somethin' for you.

I was kinda lookin' forward to a big,

fancy promotional ceremony,

But with all this chaos, I was delegated

to bestow the honor myself.

Here.

A Sergeant's badge.

You know, you had one of the highest scores in the history of the exam.

Congratulations, Kay.

Thank you, Captain.

- Congratulations. - Thank you, sir.

Ah, Gee, now that I got it, what do you want me to do?

Do?

Yeah, well, keep working cases?

Supervise the guys? What?

Kay...

I struggled long and hard for the responsibility,

the power that I attained as a sergeant.

You wanna know how I achieved that power?

Yes, sir.

By carving out a place for myself.

By letting those around me know that I was responsible for them,

and that they were responsible to me.

Kay, I think what Al's trying to say

is that along with the promotion--

I got it. Loud and clear.

And I won't let you down, sir.

- I know you won't. - Thank you.

Hey, you guys get the guy that killed Marsh yet?

If you had killed someone, how long would you stick around

waiting for two homicide detectives to keep their appointment?

Okay, so, you missed him?

You knew where he was, and missed him?

I had a slight transportation problem.

Okay. You want some help?

All right, he's got some help, he's got me.

I meant a little bit more help.

Ah, we can knock some strategies around.

Look, Kay, I don't need to knock some strategies around.

What I need to do is locate my suspect,

so I can knock his head around in the box.

Hey, wait a minute. What are we using for a box?

You got it right in front of you.

A vault?

I can't work like this!

No smoking in here, Pembleton.

- Frank, where are you going? - Back to the old squad room.

Take my chances with the gas leak.

Judy, do me a favor, find out where Lewis and Kellerman are.

Maybe they need some help with their bus stop shooting, huh?

Ma, these guys are detectives.

Kinda late to come knocking at doors, isn't it?

There was a murder in the neighborhood

earlier this evening, ma'am.

There's always somethin' going on around here, isn't there Mom?

Richie, shush!

Let the man talk, why don't you.

Did your sister visit you here today?

- Marsha? - Yeah, she was here.

We played poker, the three of us, every Thursday night.

Will you shut up. Why don't you shut up, you little lazy son of a bitch?

I told you to take her to the bus, didn't I?

I did, Ma. I did.

"Take your Aunt Marsha to the bus."

All the time I ask you.

And you do whatever the hell you want.

Mr. Clayborn, did you walk your aunt to the bus tonight?

Yes.

Only I didn't wait till the bus came.

She said she was all right.

No, she's not all right.

Is she dead, then?

Ma'am, is this your sister's?

It is.

- What was her full name, ma'am? - Marsha Gould.

She was married to a Jewish guy.

Huh, it was a big deal back then.

- Where's she at? - Medical examiner's office.

I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to come with us, and identify the body.

It's not my fault.

You stay clear of me.

Did she carry a purse?

- Yes. - Did anybody else play cards with you here tonight?

No, not since our husband's passed.

And Richie never got married, of course.

Did Marsha win at poker tonight?

I mean, did she leave here with a lot of money?

We never played for more than dimes.

I won big tonight.

Tonight, I was lucky.

Hey, guys, how's it going?

Well, well, well, what's this, the partner patrol?

Gee send you down here with your brand-new Sergeant's badge

to check up on us?

Come on, I thought of it all by myself.

So, what have you got so far?

Well, there's a lot of hostility flying around that house.

The victim's family.

Yeah, they got no problem letting that hostility out either.

Richie could have killed Aunt Marsha.

Hey, come on, now, a lot of people have fantasies

about killin' one family member or another.

It keeps us solidly dysfunctional, but not homicidal.

Even still, I'd get consent to search,

and have a couple of uniforms take a look for the gun now.

And talk to the bus driver.

You know, the guys who work that route.

Find out if anybody saw anybody getting on, hanging out.

Standard operational procedure, Kay.

We're on the money. No problems.

No leads, either.

Man, you gotta keep a positive attitude, Kellerman.

We've got us a warm body laying there on the pavement, we know who the victim is.

Everything's under control.

Why don't you go on back to HQ, Kay?

Yeah, all right.

But I want a copy of that autopsy report as soon as you have it.

On my desk, huh?

See you, Sarge.

"See you, Sarge." "See you, Sarge."

What's that supposed to mean, "No leads either"?

- It's true. - Yeah, I know it's true, you know it's true.

She don't have to know it's true!

This is a regular routine with you, conning your superiors?

Hey, first of all, she ain't been my superior but one day.

And second...

you gonna be one of them guys that suck up to the bosses?

There's a big difference between sucking up and having a little respect.

Oh, yeah? school did you go to?

You know, everybody's right about you.

How's that?

You're a lousy partner.

And tonight at 7:30, right after the Channel 8 News,

Ann Suttern and Jerry Van Dyke...

All right, look, did you see it?

That guy was probably the shooter, and I got him.

Got him, I mean, the police need to see this.

They'll see it when the rest of Baltimore does on the six o'clock news.

Or I could make a quick copy, and I could run it over to Homicide.

Once the piece has aired, they get all they need.

- Not before. - Why?

Because Channel 8 owns the story.

We get to put it on the air.

That's what makes it news.

He could have blown me away, too if I would have gotten there maybe four seconds faster.

I mean, don't you care that they catch the guy?

If I let that tape out of my hands,

I lose all control over who sees it, and who gets a copy.

JZ? BAL?

There goes my exclusive.

Yeah, but there's a killer out there, all right?

And what happens if he kills again,

and we could have stopped them?

It's my tape. I shot it.

Show them that tape, and you'll have

the shortest news career in television history.

I say we go to the ME's,

and see what the autopsy has to say.

That's a good idea. You wanna stop for coffee?

Yeah, sounds good. How about I buy?

All right. Thank you.

Two coffees there, buddy, one double-double and one--

- Black for me, please. - Black for him.

- Right, that's a black. - Thank you very much.

- One regular. - Thank you.

- That's a buck 78. - A buck 78.

- There you go, buddy. - You guys want a Danish?

- You want a Danish? - Are you gonna have one?

I'm good. Okay. Nah. No Danish, then.

- You're sure, right? - Yeah. No Danish.

- It's done, man. - What kind of Danish you got?

You know what I feel like?

What's that?

That couple we met last night, the blind date...

you and I have been thrown together,

and we got off on the wrong foot.

Now we're both trying to get back on the right foot.

Why do you think I sprung for the Danish?

I'm not used to having a partner, in Arson we don't work that way.

From what I hear, you and your partner were close, right?

Crosetti? Yeah. He was a good policeman.

I mean, he had his faults too, like everybody else, believe me.

But-- I mean, he used to chew with his mouth open.

Losing your partner's gotta be tough.

Yeah, you know. Time heals. I'm fine now.

Enough!

- About time. - Huh?

Your second hand smoke was really makin' me crazy.

Yeah?

It was making me crazy, too.

Nah, it's coming in.

- Machinery. - Howard?

Thanks, Graham, hang on just a second, would you?

Hey, I'm on the phone here.

ME says you got my autopsy report.

Yeah, thought I'd get a head start.

Marsha Gould was shot twice.

9mm rounds.

First bullet killed her, severed the brain stem.

What, so, the second time he fired was--

Just for fun.

I'd go for a polygraph on the nephew.

We did a list of the usual suspects from Narcotics.

Maybe by then the shooter will turn himself in.

All right, give me the bullets, okay?

It's done,

just faxed this over from Firearms.

- Hey, Kay? - Hmm?

Who's the primary here? Me, right?

Yeah, I know, I'm just tryin' to move

the investigation along a little more swiftly.

No, no, what you're doing is you're trying to make me look bad, all right?

Now, sergeant or no, you just keep your face out of my case, all right?

You got that or do you need me to write it down for you?

There's only one bathroom downstairs, and it's got a urinal.

Tell me what's up with Gould.

Ballistics best estimate, we're looking for a Colt.

But we can't rule out the 9mm AMT.

That's it for physical evidence.

And no gun was found at the Clayborn's.

Well, let's keep the make of the gun out of the press for the time being, okay?

Mrs. Gould usually caught the bus at 10:07,

but last night it ran late.

Yeah, we talked to three bus drivers along the route,

hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.

That's all we got right now, Lieutenant.

That's it?

The woman was shot at 10:15 at night,

on a street heavy with pedestrian traffic,

and the only thing you know for sure

is the schedule of the Baltimore MTA.

This case is 12 hours stale.

Let's be thorough, gentlemen, but let's not waste any time.

- Whose time? - Yours and mine.

Is that why you sic'ed Howard on us?

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

She's been hound doggin' us from the get go, Gee.

I mean, I'm under enough pressure as it is without her peeping over my shoulder.

That's her job now.

Hi. Hi. I wanted to talk to you, sir.

I'm supposed to know who you are?

J.H. Brodie, uh, Channel 8-- Channel 8 News.

That's all I need.

That's Public Information. Which is where?

The basement. Room 011.

- That's it, Brodie. - Could you give me two minutes, please?

- Um, I'd like to-- - I said no.

- Would you just listen to me for a second? - I said out.

Look, I came all the way up here to show you I'm riskin' my ass on this job.

Will you tell me if you're onto a suspect, you big meany?

Get the hell out of my squad room, right now!

Go on, get out! Right now, you son of a bitch!

Get outta here! Go on, get out of here!

If I were the two of you I'd thank--

What are you smilin' at?

I would thank my lucky butt that a detective like Kay Howard

is willing to help!

Damn!

Now if you could holster your egos, I want this case closed.

And, Kellerman, I don't want to see you wearing jeans in this squad room.

Pants!

This is a police unit, not a bean field!

You slit his throat.

You slit his throat, didn't you?

Didn't you?

Okay.

Get out.

Frank, why don't you go home? Be with your wife.

What are you talkin' about?

She's pregnant.

She needs you more than I do,

so, why don't you go ahead?

I'll take care of the Marsh case.

This is my case. I take care of it.

Well, you know, you're all, um,

you're just-- you're discombobulated.

Of course I'm discombobulated!

I work in a safe deposit box for God's sake!

Look at this!

What is it?

You know, you're discombobulated because your life is changing.

Yeah.

So, I'm here to tell you that if you need to take time off,

you know, after the baby comes, spur of the moment, whatever.

I'm here, I'm gonna pick up the slack.

Well, why would I need you to pick up the slack?

- What's gonna change? - You're having a baby! A baby!

Your life, Frank, it's gonna change.

- It's not. - Yeah, it is.

- No, it's not. - You're in denial.

- No, I am not! No, I am not. - You are in big D.

No, no, no, no, not at all.

I'm not the kinda person that gives up everything they enjoy

just because a baby comes into the picture.

Right, now, of course, there--

there will be some, um, minor adjustments.

Um, um, I won't get much sleep the first few months.

But, uh, then again, um,

I don't get much sleep anyway so, you know.

You don't have any choice in this, Frank.

Okay?

See, my friends who have kids,

they say that everything, every single thing, it all gets reshuffled.

You see, the dreams, your ambitions,

your, uh, your attitude towards work, Frank.

Nothing about work is-- Nothing, nothing,

nothing about work is gonna change!

There is nothing about being a father

that effects anything about being a detective!

The most that we're gonna have to do, the most,

is turn the den into a nursery.

That's it.

- Can I go now? Can I go? - Yeah.

I'll leave it to you to turn the wonder of life into a decorating problem.

Get out of here!

Frank doesn't like the interrogation room here.

It's just-- It's too small for his technique.

Kind of like watching Pavarotti sing in the shower.

Hey, is this anyone's apple?

I was talking to one of the patrol officers, works Hollins Market.

The route Marsha Gould took from her sister's

to the bus stop down Harlem Avenue, across Schroder to Freemont,

purse snatch central.

Apparently Southwest's been investigating

a rash of purse snatchings there for the past few months.

That's a pretty big leap, huh, Kay? Purse snatching to murder.

Your victim have a purse when you found her or not?

I talked to the guy who works in the Felony Squad, Jim Lakowski.

- He's close to an arrest. Maybe I should send you down. - Lakowski?

- Oh! Oh, sorry! - Oh, geez!

- You okay? - Yeah. Sorry.

- Hey, Kay? - Mm-hmm?

Um, why don't you and I have dinner tonight?

Uh, sure.

- Great! - Oh, no! I have a date.

Oh. Well-- well tomorrow, then?

- Okay. - Good. My treat.

Celebrate your promotion, talk about what you're up against.

Oh, hey, wait, is this some kind of female bonding thing?

- Part of the job description? - You know what?

If I recall correctly, you would have made a big deal

out of my being the first woman lieutenant.

Yeah. And you wouldn't take the compliment.

Told me something about being better off

- not thinking of myself as a woman. - Yeah, that's right.

Or as a man for that matter.

You know, you start overcompensating here,

playing tough,

you're gonna lose these guys.

That's their problem.

No. No, I think it's yours.

For example, the way that you're handling Lewis and Kellerman--

I'm not handling them. I'm supervising.

What you're doing is diminishing their self-respect.

You're undercutting their freedom to move.

Now look, Kay, sometimes the best way to lead is to follow.

Look, I'm just doing my job.

If anyone plays up the woman thing around here, it's you.

You're soft-spoken, nurturing, deferential.

And it's not my style.

And I'm not gonna change the way I am,

not for you, not for the men below me.

So, hey, listen,

thank you very much for the dinner invitation, Captain, but, uh,

I don't think it's a great idea.

But I say we need to do a very separate--

You guys gotta take a look at this tape.

You heard the Lieutenant. Back off.

If you're not onto a suspect, I might have the answer.

You want to give us this answer or you want to jerk us around?

Let me put it this way, when I told my station manager

that I wanted to come here and show you this tape first, he said he'd fire me if I did.

And we should care 'cause?

Just forget it. Forget it. I don't need this.

Hey, hey, Mr. Sensitive, what have you got?

I got something without realizing it,

and I think the shooter's got a cameo on this tape.

Keep talking.

Well, I'd like to see this wacko behind bars now,

rather than wait for the six o'clock news.

But I'm gonna lose my job. Unless you do something for me.

Let me guess. You want to be there when we make the arrest?

Yeah, with my camera.

And if I'm right, and you do get him,

then maybe I can save my ass with an exclusive.

So look, if your boss blames you,

you just deny that you gave us the tape.

- We do it all the time, huh? - Nah, it won't work.

- He'll know. - Can't we just subpoena the footage?

Not before it airs at six. Just let me come with you.

What makes you so damn sure you're right?

You guys are looking for a Colt, right?

- Who told you that? - This. This did.

Okay. All right. All right.

If this tape by itself, leads us to the suspect,

and no other information comes in that leads us to the suspect,

we will make you this deal.

You can videotape us going in

and you can videotape us coming out.

But I gotta be inside to be able to get it.

No, no, no, no, no being inside.

It's too dangerous in there. You'll get yourself killed, the city gets sued.

- But I've been inside before. - Nah. Nah. Look it.

Never mind about being inside, all right?

We will give you the information

when we have the situation secured, all right?

- I'm the only camera. - Yeah.

Unless you give out invitations.

Come on, let's just look at the tape.

Matthew Brady really started this whole thing,

taking pictures during the Civil War.

But it wasn't until Korean War

that TV guy came into the picture.

It was Charlie Mack, Edward R. Murrow's cameraman. Guy was nuts.

They'd drop him off on the middle of a-- middle of a mountain top

with gunfire bursting all around him.

That guy just keep the camera rolling, you know?

He was nuts. He had no fear.

So I wanna go overseas, maybe shoot a war.

Yeah, with the way things are going in this country,

you won't have to go overseas.

- Hang on. See that kid? - Where?

You move the camera around so much I'm getting dizzy.

Well, these are two kids I saw when I was going away from the crime scene.

Did they say anything about what happened?

No, they said they missed the whole thing, but, I mean,

this is the first footage I shot,

so they must have been there.

All right, now watch.

Right there! You see that? And that guy, in his hand, look!

Hey, go-- go back. You didn't see that gun at the time?

No, I was-- I was too busy.

I was thinking I was gonna trip or get shot

and I must have been looking at my feet.

Now watch carefully.

- Right there! - Well, freeze frame right there!

- Right there! - Right.

- You think that's enough for a warrant? - Bingo.

- That looks like a Colt to me. - Yeah.

Yeah, we got enough for a warrant if we can ID these kids.

- Do it again. One more time. - One more time.

Make me famous, cuz.

You shot me nice, James!

Here we go! Here we go!

Wow!

Wait a minute.

- I got something else for you! - Keep going, keep going.

Boom!

Pow!

This shot's the best yet, look at it.

Damn! You see the look she gave me?

- You get all that? - Oh, my God, bro.

Move over, Wesley Snipes. The camera loves you, man!

So, our shooter's name is Trevor Douglas, and he got a cousin named James.

Some petty theft, vandalism, ripped off a video arcade.

- It's all kids' stuff. - Yeah, well, kids get bored of the same routine, you know?

It's like diving off a diving board.

They wanna take it to the next level. Do more damage.

The bigger the risk, the bigger the rush.

- Hey, Kay! - Mm-hmm.

We're going after a search and seizure

- on our bus stop shooter. - Great.

Let me know when you get ready for an arrest,

- I want to go along with you. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hello? Hello? Hello?

Hey, Sarge, got plans for tonight?

Why is everybody suddenly so concerned with my social life?

We lost another bartender over at the Waterfront.

Since Bayliss and Lewis are hip-deep in crime solving,

I'll be bar tending there tonight.

Won't you come by? I'll buy you a drink.

We'll celebrate you becoming sergeant.

Don't patronize me, Munch. I'm in no mood.

I'm offering you free liquor. How does that come off as patronizing?

You know, everybody around here thinks

that because you beat me out, in the exam,

that I'm holding some kind of grudge.

We'll I'm not. I'm genuinely happy for you, Kay.

Thank you, John. That's almost sweet of you.

Well, I'm working on my feminine side.

So, am I gonna see you tonight? At the Waterfront?

No, I got a date.

Bring the guy along. I'll get him all liquored up and drunk.

- That way you're sure to score. - Who says it's a guy?

Let me handle this, all right?

- Okay. - Detective Lewis, what can I do for you today?

We've got a suspect in last night's shooting.

We just need your John Hancock on a search and seizure.

The woman at the bus stop, glad to hear that.

Hi, I'm Mike Kellerman. I just came over from Arson.

My mother refuses to leave her old neighborhood.

She's feisty, full of life, tougher than nails.

The death of this Gould woman scared her.

- Too bad you don't have enough for an arrest. - We're close.

- You don't really have enough for the search. - We do!

We-- we-- we got the Douglas guy at the scene.

We have him on videotape showing off a 9mm Colt,

the same kind of gun that killed Gould.

How many people do you think carry that particular gun?

- Well, hundreds, but-- - Any one of them could have killed that woman.

Could have, but didn't.

Could have is all the jury needs

to find Douglas not guilty.

- Yeah-- - We've been through this, Detective Lewis.

You can't come in here hoping I'll be in the right mood.

Showing just cause is more cut and dried than that.

We've got the guy, Your Honor. We just need the gun to prove it.

And I don't want it thrown out because some other judge decides the search wasn't appropriate.

Why isn't it?

Your new partner over here has a reputation

for elaborating on evidence that isn't always solid.

You do?

So, what about me?

- I don't know you. - Exactly.

So, you have no reason to doubt me.

Unless this albatross over here,

that I didn't even know I had, is being held against me.

Now my reputation is perfect.

I guarantee you a by-the-book search beyond criticism.

We're building good evidence, Your Honor, it's gonna hold up.

I'm not big on second chances, Detective Kellerman.

- Do you understand? - Yeah. I won't need one.

- Great. - Thank you.

Your Honor.

Well, Trevor's not in there. Neither is James. But we got the gun.

There goes my exclusive. There goes my job.

Yeah, I'd rather have this baby and no Douglas, than Douglas and no weapon.

- Yeah. - We're close.

You two want to stick around?

- No point in that. - What?

There's a big party after the wedding.

- Trevor went to a wedding? - Yeah.

At the Emmanuel-- Emmanuel--

- Emmanuel Community Christian Church? - Yeah!

I'd be there too,

- except I think I got the measles. - Oh.

Now I'm probably gonna get killed

- for letting you in. - Nah.

James and Trevor don't like people messing with their videos.

No way, you're really gonna arrest this guy in the middle of a wedding?

- Hey... - Get away from there.

...Douglas' social calendar ain't my problem.

He doesn't deserve our consideration.

Well, what about the bride and the groom?

You know how people like to retell their old wedding disasters stories?

This one's gonna be extra special.

You wait here.

Do you take Arabella to be your lawfully wedded wife?

I do.

Do you take Trevor

- to be your lawfully wedded husband? - I do.

Then, by the power vested in me, I pronounce you husband--

- I'm afraid I'm gonna have to object to that. - What?

Who the hell are you?

- Trevor Douglas, you are under arrest. - Excuse me.

- Nobody [indistinct] to joke. - You do this?

Trevor Douglas, you are under arrest for the murder of Marsha Gould.

- Sorry, Pastor. - Murder?

Did you do that? Did you kill somebody?

- Sorry, we couldn't wait. - What? Hello?

I'm married to this lowlife murderer,

and you're telling me, "Sorry we couldn't wait?"

What took you so damn long?

Here.

Hey, Lewis. There's the other guy!

Runner! Runner! Runner!

Relax! Relax.

Video taper. He's the perfect witness.

He can't change his testimony,

and he can't forget what somebody looks like.

Did you see the look she gave me?

- You get all that? - You found these tapes in his house?

Yeah and about a dozen others.

Has he been charged?

Yeah. And the cousin.

The juvenile court states attorney has been notified.

They're gonna be tried as adults.

I mean, it's the perfect age, 17.

It's the prime time to kill somebody and start a family.

What's on these other tapes?

Well, it looks like they've been making movies for a year and a half,

starting with an art project along the walls of Oriole Park back in May.

From graffiti to murder in a short 18 months.

We've watched a few armed robberies,

but we've just started looking at this stuff.

Yeah, we're gonna up the clearance rate

in every department before you finished.

It's good work, guys.

Sorry we didn't get a chance to invite you along.

Whatever happened to pirates and cowboys?

Adventures in space?

Yeah, well, no one else got the arrest on tape.

Nick, it's in the middle of a wedding.

- The guy's own wedding! - Just like up in Philly.

No. That was a suspected robbery.

- And this guy is a murderer. - Beside the point.

I told you not to give that first tape to the police.

Look, Channel 8 has a policy. I know. Okay?

Maybe it's a bad policy.

Goodbye, J.H.

What, you're firing me?

Leave your station credentials with security on the way out.

I'll hold on to this.

You'll get your standard payment for it.

- Hi, John. - Sarge, I'm sorry.

- For what? - Your date.

You're alone. It must have been a bust, right?

Uh, the truth?

Never had a date.

Truth? I didn't think you did.

- How about a drink? - Yeah, that'd be great.

- Got any arsenic back there? - I got something just as good.

- My specialty. Gin fizz. - Mm.

You won't be disappointed.

You know the fabulous thing about being a bartender?

People open up to you.

They tell you their innermost thoughts,

their-- their deepest feelings.

A bar is-- It's like The Box.

People instinctively want to confess.

I'm not gonna confess.

I'm not guilty of anything. What?

Trying to do my new job as well as I can?

I try to be helpful.

People think I'm overbearing.

Condescending.

You were right not to take that exam.

It's not so much that I got in Lewis's way.

I got in my own way. You know? I do that.

In work. In life.

Oh, my God. Listen to me. I am confessing.

This is delicious.

- You wanna dance? - No!

Yes. No one will see.

There's nobody conscious here.

A few smooth steps on the floor.

- Have a little fun. - No.

- Come on, Kay. Let's dance. - Nah.

I'll let you lead, all right? Come on.

- Really? - Yeah.

- Then let me lead. - All right.

Ah, you gotta follow

You want me to take this one or do you want it?

Either way. I'm just saying I'll take it.

That's okay. You take it. It's all yours.

- Fine. - You guys need some light?

- Yeah, that would be great. - Hey, Brodie.

No problem.

- We heard you got canned. - Yeah, I got fired.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Now, if you hadn't shot us that tape, if you had waited,

man, that murderer would be on his honeymoon.

- We might never have got him. - Well, I know.

That's what I told the station manager

and he gave me one of those looks.

You know, like people in their forties give

to people in their twenties.

I figure, screw the station manager,

I'm gonna go freelance.

- Bye. - Just act natural like I'm part of the furniture.

Bye!
