Garbage collector!

- Put it back up!

- Wait a minute, now,

I'm a parole officer.

- He's a rapist.

- The county doesn't pay you to beat up on people

who can't fight back.

Now you stay off me, or you're gonna get run over.

Hey, where the hell did you learn to drive, woman?

- Don't worry about it, Friday night's gonna be okay.

- I can't wait.

- You throw the gun in here, Sonny,

or I'm gonna kill her.

- Drop the gun, Coleson.

Works for me.

- I call you, Jer.

I bump yours.

- You lucky, bum, you filled up didn't you

You're about to find out.

Get that, will you, Doug.

- Come on Jerry, come one, did you or didn't you, huh?

- Hello.

Yeah, just a minute. Jerry, it's for you.

- Yeah, okay. All right.

- I'll keep you honest, huh? - Good.

- Two pair of eights and eight.

Whoa!

I pulled the third deck.

- Yeah, this is Walsh.

- I bet you had them going in.

Is that right, Danny?

- Short of four of a kind, Dan wouldn't pull a dirty trick

like that on an old friend, would you?

Hey, you bet your life I would.

The name of the game is win, am I right?

- Yeah, sure I want him, but not tonight.

Look, I put in my eight hours today,

that's all I get paid for, right?

If he's in town, I'll pick him up tomorrow.

Next week, whenever.

Look, I'm not going to spend the entire night

in armpit far away for this geek to show up,

not on the word of a coked up snitch.

Look, I'll talk to you tomorrow, okay?

All right.

- What was that about?

- That was the watch commander at the PB search unit.

They got a tip that Sonny Dupree is back in town,

he's gonna show up at some bar later tonight,

a place called Big Ed's, on Sabaco Street.

They expect me to go down there and pick him up.

- Sonny Dupree is back in town?

Katie by the door.

- Who's Sonny Dupree?

- He's one of Jerry's favorite boys.

You're gonna adopt him, aren't you Jer?

- He's a rapist.

He was convicted of a rape and murder of a coed at USC

a few year back.

Isn't that right, Jerry?

- UCLA.

The Supreme Court overturned the conviction,

he's been up twice for rape since.

They kicked him loose on parole both times.

- So what else is new, Wykert deal the cards.

- It's Will's deal.

Hey, if this dude's as bad as you say, I mean,

why don't you go pick him up, keep him off the streets?

- You gotta be kidding, I know this dude,

if he does show up at Big Ed's he's gonna be

wired tight on cocaine and booze,

and he'll be carrying heat.

I don't need that.

- You know, this guy used to be the most conscientious,

the most dedicated parole officer in the department,

how about that, huh?

- I learned. Don't be the best, be the oldest.

- Yeah, you're right.

It's real open and shut.

Okay, look, how do I spell Dupree again?

D-U-P-R double E.

And it's James, right?

Okay, thanks Mr. Coleson.

Look, I'll be down about an hour to get that file,

you're gonna be there?

Okay, who should I ask for?

Nina Sloan, Sloan, got it.

Okay, thank you.

Uh-huh, buhbye.

Uh uh uh uh.

My case.

- That's the Walsh case, right?

The parole officer that got murdered?

- Mhmm.

- Need any help with that?

- Nope, it's real open and shut.

The shooter was a parole violator

by the name of Sonny Dupree, apparently,

all I gotta do is find the guy.

Missing persons could handle it.

Oh, Hunter.

Um, about Friday night.

Friday night, with me and Jack,

and Jack's sister, from Poughkeepsie, New York, remember?

We're on, right?

Well, I said I'd think about it,

I didn't say I'd go.

Come on, what's to think about?

It's gonna be great.

All you gotta do is show up, it's not gonna cost you

a dime, Jack's gonna pick up the check.

And look, Jack's sister is really nice,

she's very pretty, she's bright,

she's a lot of fun.

- And so is a collie.

Hunter, would I set you up with a dog, come on.

- Are you sure you don't need any help

with that Walsh case?

- No, I told you, it's easy, it's just open and shut,

all I gotta do is find the guy.

- Yeah, I probably could

use a little help on the case, yeah, come on.

- McCall.

About Friday night, see I promised Gordo

I was gonna help him paint his mom's apartment.

Maybe another time though, okay?

Hey, McCall, what'd you do to get turned down

by every single guy in the precinct?

- There are only two excuses I'll accept for being late

for an appointment,

either you were in the hospital in intensive care

or you are already dead, do you understand me, boy?

- Yes, sir.

- You better go find yourself back to the joint.

Now get outta here.

- Ms. Sloan is expecting you.

Right over there.

- If he keeps doing that, he's not gonna get outta here

with half his pension funding.

- It's gotta be a miserable job

working for people like that everyday.

Hi, Ms. Sloan.

I'm Sergeant Rick Hunter,

this is my partner, Dee Dee McCall.

- How do you do? - Hi.

- Mr. Coleson said you'd be stopping by today.

- Yeah, for the file on James Dupree.

Did you get it?

- Yes, it's someplace here under this mess.

I started work on Monday and they've dumped

Mr. Walsh's entire case load on to me, as you can see.

Oh, here. Here it is.

Um, I don't know if I really should let you have this.

Parolee files are confidential, you know, and

they're only available to the parole department...

Give it to them, Sloan, they're on our side.

- Mr. Donaldson.

- My responsibility, Sloan.

I'm sorry about that.

These kids come in here fresh outta college.

- Is this all you got on this Sonny Dupree character

is a run down of his arrests and convictions?

- And his parole record.

And if he reported regularly and on time,

his job records are like that.

We've got so many cases that if we kept

the full jacket on each parolee,

we wouldn't have room for anything else.

- He's not a very solid citizen is he?

If the system was running the way it should,

they'd have given him the gas chamber the first time.

Jerry Walsh was a real good man,

so if you don't bring Dupree back alive,

nobody's gonna say boo.

- You're sure Sonny did this?

I know Jerry was after him for a couple of months

to throw his butt back in prison for parole violation.

He got a tip last night he was back in town,

he went out after him.

You know what's weird about this?

- When Jerry got the phone call,

he said he wasn't going to go after Dupree.

That it's too dangerous.

Dan kidded him about it, remember?

- So, he changed his mind.

- You sure about that?

- Look, he was killed not two blocks from Big Ed's bar

which is where Dupree was last night,

and he was after Dupree for a couple of months,

I mean he had a real burn on putting

Sonny back in the slammer, he talked about it all the time.

- I mean, Dupree isn't exactly what you'd call one of

natures nobleman, but Jarry's dealt with worse,

we all have.

But if it was Dan, then I could understand it.

Dan?

- Coleson.

- He's a real hard case.

- Yeah, where is Coleson, I called him

he said he was gonna be here.

He went out a little while ago,

I think he went after Sonny himself.

And I'll tell you something,

if he finds him, they're gonna need to pick up

what's left of him with a blotter.

- Garbage collector!

Sonny!

Sonny!

No sense in hiding, Sonny, I'll wreck your joint

if I have to.

Where is he? Where's Sonny?

- Please, don't hurt my baby.

- I want Sonny, where is he?

- I don't know! - Don'd give me that

I don't know garbage!

Now you let me know what's happening

or someone's gonna get hurt.

- That just may be you, bud, if you so much as blink.

Now, just take it easy and drop the gun right back

on the bed.

Now clasp your hands behind your head.

Atta boy.

- What's going on here?

Who are you people?

- Don't worry about it, Mrs. Dupree, we're the police.

- If you're the cops we're on the same side...

- Hey, put it back up.

- Wait a minute, now.

I'm a parole officer.

I'm Dan Coleson,

my creds are in my right hand pocket of my jacket.

- He broke in here, he didn't ring or anything,

he just smashed in the door, you saw what he did.

Well don't worry, he's not gonna hurt either you

or your child.

- What the idea treating these people like this, Coleson?

Who the hell do you think you are?

- Her husband killed a parole office,

my buddy for 20 years and she's harboring him.

Dupree is only a suspect right now, Coleson,

now you may have probable cause to come in here,

but not to terrorize these people and bust this place up.

- He's a parole violator.

Now I have the right to bust in any place I want

where I think he's hiding.

- Sonny didn't violate his parole,

he's got a regular job, he's leading a straight life.

Sure.

Can I take my hands down now?

- Still doesn't give you any right to terrorize a woman

and a child, Coleson.

- Listen, before you two start shedding tears

for these people, you ask yourself how many cops are dead

because some parole officer was too soft

on guys like Sonny...

And his family.

- Hey, Coleson.

More cops get hurt because jerks like you

butt into their business, so why don't you butt out.

- That terrible man.

I mean, breaking into my house and terrorizing us like that?

Why didn't you arrest him?

- Well, I know it isn't much of a consolation,

but the law gives him that right.

- Look, I know Sonny broke the law,

and he has to pay for that,

but he never meant to hurt anybody.

And to put him under the thumb of a man

who is a worse criminal than he ever was...

- Mrs. Dupree, you know that your husband

hasn't checked in with his parole officer

in the last five or six weeks?

- That's not true.

Sonny goes every Wednesday morning at 10 like clockwork,

ask Mr. Walsh, his parole officer.

- Well, I'm afraid we would be able to do that, you see,

Jerry Walsh was murdered last night.

- Oh my God.

- Mrs. Dupree, where was Sonny last night?

- He was home.

- If he wasn't at home and you're lying, don't.

It'll only make it worse for both of you.

- You know, minutes before Jerry was murdered last night,

your husband was seeing leaving a bar just two blocks away.

- Sonny didn't do it.

He couldn't.

He's not a killer.

- Well, he did kill a girl,

and he did go to jail for it.

- He was drunk.

And he ran her down and she died.

Look,

I'm grateful to you for stopping that man,

but I don't have anything more to say to you.

So please go.

Please.

- Thank you.

You read any good rights lately?

- Hey, Coleson, what the hells are you doing around here?

- My job, Hunter.

- Oh come on, the county doesn't pay you

to beat up on people who can't fight back.

- They're garbage, I'm trying to keep the streets clean.

Give me a break, huh?

- Let me tell you something once and once an for all,

this is now a homicide investigation,

that makes it my turf, you stay off of it.

- Hey, I've got jurisdiction here as much as anybody.

Now that scum killed my buddy.

Now you stay off me, or I'm gonna run you over.

Hey Sammy, let me talk to you for a minute, huh?

- First Coleson and now you, my day is made.

- Hey look, man, if you know where Sonny is

and you're covering for him,

you could be up for obstruction of justice.

- Justice.

The guy's on parole, he's a punching bag

for anybody with a badge to work out on,

and you wonder why cops get killed.

- Are you saying you offed his parole officer

because he got punched out?

- Don't put words in my mouth,

I didn't talk to Coleson and I ain't talking to you,

so bug off, lady, huh.

- You gotta be kidding me.

Jerry Walsh was like a father to Sonny,

I mean it, they were like father and son.

Ah, Sonny couldn't have killed him,

Sonny could've killed anybody.

- Yeah, but his first conviction was for killing that girl.

- Yeah, he killed a girl.

He was drunk out of his mind

and he didn't see her in a crosswalk and...

- Oh, come on, I saw Walsh's file on the guy,

he had him down as a three-time convicted rapist,

and one of the rapes included murder.

- That's crazy, Hunter.

Jerry's the guy who brought Sonny to me.

He got me to hire me.

He told me what he had done, he told me where he was at

and said, "All the guy needs is a job

"and he'll be okay."

And that's just the way it was.

Sonny never took a drink, never missed a day's work,

as far as I know he never missed a single day's

reporting to Jerry.

Yeah? Well how come he's not here, where is he?

- I dunno, maybe he's sick.

Look, you want someone who maybe can help you?

Talk to Ramos, him and Sonny are real tight.

You ask him.

Hey Lubbock, come here!

- So how'd you do with Ramos?

- Not even squat.

- Think I should try it?

- No, it's a waste of time.

You know what really bothers me?

- What?

- We've got two Sonny's here,

we've got a Jekyll and a Hyde.

- Oh yeah?

- Yeah, I mean take a look at this.

The guys in the parole office turned us on to a Sonny

who is a killer rapist,

who has been nailed three times, violated his parole,

and killed his PO to stay out of the slammer, right?

- Right.

- And then we talk to his wife and Sam Lubbock and Ramos,

and they give us a Sonny who's a hard working,

loving, devoted father whose

only crime was committed while he was under the influence.

- So what you're saying is you think that maybe

Walsh is trying to frame Sonny.

- It's worth checking into.

- Go ahead.

I'm going stick around here and see if Sonny shows up,

and if he doesn't

I'm gonna see if Ramos and Sam lead me to him.

- Okay.

I'll get a cab.

- Oh, and see if you can get a tap put on Dupree's phone

in case he calls his wife.

- Yeah, take care.

Oh, and Hunter?

Listen, Friday night,

wear a tie, okay, we're going someplace real nice.

- Oh wait a minute, how old is this lady?

Jack's sister, how old is she?

Just wanted to know how old she was.

- I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long,

Sergeant McCall, but

I had to run this through the computer three times

and it's still wrong.

- What's the problem?

Here, you can see for yourself.

According to this, Dupree's no rapist.

He's a drunk driver.

Vehicular manslaughter, are you sure

this is the right James Dupree?

- Mhmm, I checked.

He's the only one the computer says,

it's in central files.

- Time off for good behavior, no parole violations.

Walsh must've known that the rap sheet in his file

was a fake.

The computer's off, it has to be.

Here, let me run it through again...

- No, it's okay.

It's all right.

Thanks.

- Excuse me, Sergeant McCall, um,

you work with Sergeant Hunter all the time, right?

- Yeah, we're partners, why?

- Well I was just wondering,

um,

are you...

is he attached?

L56, dispatcher.

- This is L56, go ahead.

I got a patch call from McCall, Hunter.

Hold on a second.

Go ahead, McCall.

- Hunter?

Did you get that tap put on Sonny's phone yet?

- Yeah, it's in work.

But we better stop looking for the bad Mr. Hyde,

and start looking for the good Dr. Jekyll.

- You mean he's not a rapist and all those good things,

he's clean?

Just like his wife and Sam said,

he's only been up for vehicular manslaughter.

Well then why is the guy running?

- When we find him I'll ask him.

- What do you mean we?

Where are you?

- About a half a block in front of you.

Look, mom, I appreciate it but I think

I can handle a stakeout by myself.

- Then you already know you've grown a tail?

- Tail, what do you mean?

- Coleson. He's a couple cars behind me.

- Oh, there goes my pigeon now, McCall,

do me a favor and get Coleson off my back will ya?

- Hey look, Hunter, I'll take Ramos

and you follow Coleson, okay?

If any car is gonna get creamed here...

- Be a pal, will ya?

If I make a sharp right hand turn in this crate

the whole front end is gonna fall off.

Hey, where the hell did you learn to drive, woman!

McCall?

- Why don't you get that piece of garbage off the street

before you get a ticket for littering, Coleson.

- Hey, I'm gonna have you up on charges, do you hear me?

Do you hear me?

I'm gonna have you up on charges!

Move one muscle and you won't have anything

left to hang our ears on.

- You have the right to remain silent, Sonny.

You also have the right to your choice of an attorney.

You're a regular comedian, Hunter.

- You're not being very smart here, Sonny.

You're adding kidnapping, assault,

resisting arrest to suspicion of murder.

You're digging yourself a pretty big hole here.

- I didn't kill him.

- You were seen leaving Big Ed's last night,

minutes before Walsh was killed,

I've got a witness to that.

- Don't talk to him Sonny, he's only gonna

twist what you say all around and set you up.

- Look, Ramos, why don't you go outside

and get some fresh air and clear your fat head?

- I'll clear your head, man.

I'll clear it real good.

- Look, I've got enough problems without that.

Why don't you go downstairs

and see if anybody's hanging around?

Give me the gun.

- If he tries something, Sonny.

- Yeah, I'll holler.

He's good people, Ramos.

He got a raw deal and they

made him a little crazy.

- Look, Sonny, I ran a full make on you

and all we could come up with is a flock of 502s

and one conviction for a vehicular homicide.

Now, since you've been out on parole

you've been clean as snow.

Now why does Walsh have you down as a three-time

convicted rapist and a parole absconder?

- It was a trap, and I was the bait.

He said there was some guy out there

murdering parolees, some nut who thought he was

protecting the public from the rapists

and the murderers that the system was putting

back on the streets.

- Well, did he say who he thought it was?

- No, he just said that

the guy had already murdered six parolees

and that if he,

you know, if he could set me up so he went after me,

he could nail him.

- And you went along with that?

- Hey, Jerry turned my life around.

If it wasn't for him I would be falling down drunk.

I mean, no wife, no kid, no job,

nothing.

I'd have done anything that man asked.

- So what went down last night, Sonny?

Early in the day Jerry called me

and told me he thought the time was right.

He gave me

a phone number and told me to call at 10 o'clock that night

and ask for him.

He said not to pay any attention

to what he said over the phone.

I was just to go to go to a bar he'd mention

in the conversation,

a place called Big Ed's.

And I was to be sure to leave it at 1:30 on the nose

and start heading east.

Jerry said he'd be there,

I wasn't to worry.

I thought the footsteps I heard behind me were Jerry's

but I couldn't be sure, what if it wasn't?

What if he couldn't make it for some reason?

I wanted to yell out,

I wanted to jump up and grab that guy by the throat

and bash his head against the walls,

but I couldn't move.

I couldn't breathe, I was, like I was frozen there

behind the garbage cans.

Did you see the guy?

- Yeah, I saw him.

Almost as clear as I see you.

- Was it Dan Coleson?

He was another parole officer that worked with Walsh.

He's supposed to be his friend.

- I don't know.

And I never saw him up there,

and Jerry never told me about him.

But if it's the guy who killed Jerry,

I can ID him.

- Get me outta here, Sonny, come on.

What, so you can take me in?

No dice.

Look, there's a warrant after your arrest,

I've gotta take you in.

Besides, I need you to finger Coleson

so I can nail him.

- And who's gonna believe me?

Sorry, Hunter.

The guy who killed Jerry is out after me.

I'll take my chances

on my own.

- Hey, wait a minute,

you're not gonna leave me in here

hooked up like this, are you... - Here.

I don't need it, that'll hold you.

I don't need this.

Sorry, Hunter.

- Hey.

Sonny!

L56 come in, please.

L56 come in.

L56, come in.

L56, come in.

- This is L56, over.

Stand by for Sergeant McCall, L56.

- Hunter?

Where have you been?

I've been trying to find you for the last half hour.

- Well I've had a little radiator problem.

- Then, you're okay?

- I didn't know you cared.

- Of course I do, look I'd hate to disappoint

Jack's sister, she's really looking forward

to meeting you.

Hunter?

Hunter?

- I fold.

- Me too.

- Natural flush all I get is the end.

- This is lousy, three-handing.

I think I'm going home.

- Me too.

- Hi fellas.

I just stopped by, I thought you might

need another card partner.

- It's all right with me.

- Makes for a better game than three-handed.

- Dan? - Well, as long as his money

is U-S of A.

- What's the game?

- It's dealer's choice, quarter or half.

New player deals.

- Okay to check and raise?

- Anything goes as long as you don't get caught.

- How about a little Pete Loftis to start?

- If only Pete Loftis I know is a parolee.

- Was a parolee, he's dead.

He was murdered about six months ago.

Your bet.

- A kidder.

- Is that why they named the game after him?

In memoriam?

- I think it was Pete, or Dum Dum Madigan.

Or was it Fitz Jackson?

- I don't get this.

All of those guys are parolees.

- Dead parolees, Wykert.

There were twelve of them.

All a part of this tight little group of yours,

all shot down in cold blood.

- So big deal, these guys are always getting themselves

knocked off.

- By their parole officers?

Hey, what kinda garbage are you dishing out, here?

- Oh, I'm just following up on what your friend Walsh

found out.

I mean, that is why you killed him, isn't it?

Because he found out it was you?

- Hey, Sonny Dupree killed Jerry Walsh

and everybody knows about it.

Now are we playing cards here or what?

- I've got a witness who saw

the whole thing go down, Coleson.

And he describes you to a T.

- So, arrest me.

- No, no, not right now.

I've got some loose ends I wanna tie up first,

but when I do I'll know where to find you.

- You hearing a bluff?

- Damn it, Hunter, I mean, I don't know why

you're doing this, or what you think you got here,

but I for one resent what you're doing to Dan.

Now either you back off or I'm gonna file a complaint.

- Well, that's your prerogative, Wykert.

But if I was you I'd read that print out first.

It's got Sonny Dupree's rap sheet

under that essential files.

Not the one that Walsh dummied up to nail the murderer.

See you, guys.

- What? I don't believe this.

- What?

- Dupree is a drunk driver.

- Let me see it.

I'll get it.

Yeah.

Thanks.

- Dan, when Jerry got that call about Dupree,

didn't he say he wasn't going out after him,

that it was too dangerous?

I don't know, I don't remember.

Sure you do, you kidded him about once having been

the most conscientious parole officer in the department.

- Well, so he changed his mind.

Now look, I just got an important phone call,

I gotta get outta here.

- Well if you get a sighting on this guy,

give me a call, will you, Charlie?

Yeah.

Thank you.

- State highway patrol has no report on Coleson's car.

- Neither does city traffic.

Boy, sure hope I haven't gotten Sonny killed.

- Come on, it's not your fault.

If he'd let you bring him in int he first place

he wouldn't be in danger now.

- Yeah, but he didn't.

And I let Dan get loose.

- McCall.

Yeah, I've asked about that tap twice now.

You're kidding me.

- What? - Okay, thanks.

They refused our request for a tap

on the Dupree phone.

- Well they can't do that, we've got cause.

- Coleson beat us to it.

He put one on about four hours before

we applied for ours.

I better call Mrs. Dupree.

- Hello?

- Hello, Mrs. Dupree? This is Sergeant McCall.

Have you heard from your husband?

- Why, no, I haven't.

- You sure?

- Yes, I'm positive.

- Okay, well, if he does contact you,

warn him not to say anything

that'll give away his whereabouts.

Your phone's tapped.

Mrs. Dupree did you understand that?

- Yes.

I understand.

Thank you.

That's a phone, McCall, remember?

Mrs. Dupree says Sonny didn't call.

So?

- So the way she said it, I,

I don't believe her.

- Well, why would she lie?

- I don't know.

She sounded scared.

Look, about this women's intuition business,

you know, I've done a study on this...

- Communications, please.

Yes, communications?

This is Nina Sloan at the parole bureau,

to whom am I speaking?

- This is Lieutenant Decker, how may I help you Ms. Sloan?

- Yeah, I'd like to know if there's been any traffic

on 555-7273, yeah, that's the tap that

Coleson had put on the Dupree phone.

Hold it and I'll look it up for you.

- Thank you.

- There was a incoming call to that number

at 2:47 PM from an unnamed male caller.

There was a second call from a female, a Sergeant McCall

who we've identified as a member of the LAPD.

- Oh, yes, yes, we already have that, but

could you please give me the read out on the 2:47 call?

- I already gave a read out to Mr. Coleson,

didn't he tell you?

No, I was out of the office then and he is now,

but our supervisor would really like that information so,

if it's no bother.

- No bother, Ms. Sloan.

- Thank you.

Pick up line four.

- The phone rings twice.

Female voice: hello? Male voice: Hello, Trish.

Female voice: Sonny is that you? Are you all right?

Male voice: I'm okay, now listen.

Female voice: Sonny, where are you?

Male voice: don't ask any questions, do as I tell you,

pack a suitcase with enough stuff to last you and Cindy

a few days.

I'll call you later, around 5:30 and tell you

where to meet me.

It's 5:20, we got to roll.

Listen, that will be just fine.

I do have one more request though,

if another call should come in on this line,

will you please notify Sergeant McCall

via the police dispatcher?

Thank you so much.

- Now you remember what I told you, no tricks.

- Hello?

- Trish?

Baby, it's Sonny.

Everything okay?

- Yes, everything's fine.

- You sure, you sound funny.

Well, you told me not to ask you any questions,

and only do what you tell me.

I'm waiting to hear.

- Good girl.

You all packed and ready to go?

- Yes. Just like you said.

- Okay, I'm at the phone booth around the corner,

meet me here, and quick.

- Okay, Sonny, but, it's going to take us

at least an hour to get there.

- What'd you mean an hour?

I told you I'm just down the corner.

- Yeah, well, McArthur Park is a long way from here

and with the traffic and all.

- Trish, someone up there with you, baby?

Is it Coleson?

- Yes, well.

We'll get there as soon as we can, Sonny.

Bye.

- You wanna play this way?

That's fine, we'll play that way, come on,

go get Sonny.

You throw the gun in here Sonny,

or I'm gonna kill her.

- All right, don't hurt her.

Let her go.

Yeah, that was a real dumb move.

See, you shoulda run when you had the chance,

but now.

I didn't se him, I didn't see him.

- Get out, get out!

- Drop the gun, Coleson.

- Hunter, let me get rid of this guy,

he's nothing but garbage.

- I said drop it now.

- Sonny!

Sonny!

- Drop the gun, Coleson!

- All right, okay.

Take it easy.

- How's he doing?

Busted up some, but he'll be okay.

How's Coleson?

- All the city has to do now is pick him up

with the trash and take him away.

- Okay Roscoe, let's go.

- Hey, McCall, what's the deal here?

Found this guy breaking into McLynn Liquor Store

and I gotta book him.

- It's Friday night.

- Yeah, well as far as I know we're still booking felons

on Friday nights.

It's 6:30 Friday.

Me, you, Jack, Jack's sister, dinner.

- Oh, boy.

I forgot to tell you, hun,

I broke up with that creep a couple days ago.

You see, he had this weird idea, he,

forget it, anyway.

Well, dinner's off.

- That's great, McCall.

I go and get this suit pressed,

I wash and launder this shirt,

I even buy a new tie.

You know how much money I spent on these posies?

- Wait a second, Smith?

- Yeah? - Come here, will ya?

Will you do me a favor?

Can you book this guy?

- Sure, two for the price of one, let's go.

- Thanks a lot.

Okay, look, here. Let me have those.

So the evening's not a total loss.

I will go to dinner with you and um...

I'll even wear your flowers, how's that?

- Oh, you look handsome.

- Well, thank you.

- You going out?

- Well, yeah, kinda.

- Oh, I knew I should've called before.

I wanted to invite you to dinner,

to thank you for not making things hard

for Sonny Dupree and Ramos.

You could've had the parole revoked

for what they did to you.

Maybe another time.

- Oh, hey, wait, Nina?

Hey, look.

I see McCall all the time,

we can have lunch or dinner some other time,

and besides her,

her taste in food is not really mine.

I'd love to have dinner with you.

What would you like to eat?

Uh, you won't believe this but,

I'd really l
