Haley, what was that?

Haley, are you okay?

She was rehearsing when it dropped.

Place was supposed to be secure.

Secret service ran a pre check this morning.

- All right, so whoever did it had access to the catwalks,

right? - Right.

we're running a check on all Kennedy center employees

and also anybody that had access to the event.

- Yeah,

well, you're gonna run

the personnel records and take a look at security video.

- Your guys are pulling it for us.

Miss Adam? Yeah.

Jack Mannion, chief of police. How do you do?

Hi.

Julian Costello, King Latin records.

Thanks for coming.

You boys are doing a bang up job, but I just wanted to make

sure that we were on your radar.

You're on our radar, yeah.

- Good.

We'd like to see that our big star hits the stage

Friday night without any worries now, don't we?

So you're still thinking of performing?

- This is the Kennedy center.

Honors the president... - Julian, is it?

Yes. - I asked her.

Your voice okay, Chief Mannion, please.

I'm not about to let some psycho stop me from performing.

I've worked too hard for this. - All right, girl.

Do you have any idea who might have done this?

None. - No idea whatsoever.

All right! Good to meet you.

Heads.

Heads it is.

Okay, she's at the Shepherd Capital Hotel.

You should watch yourself.

This woman sneezes and makes papers.

Chief, are you sure that you want him to babysit her?

Who's gonna babysit him?

The president agrees with her decision to go

ahead and perform.

If Cabrino screws up, he answers to the president.

Now. You wanna go two out of three?

No, no, I'm cool. You sure?

- Yeah. Okay.

See you later.

[crowd chattering]

It's about time.

I called you last night. - When?

4:21.

- That's not last night.

That's this morning. - Hmm.

You didn't answer.

I knew it was you with some bright idea that just

couldn't wait.

Yeah, it could have been a citywide emergency.

You would have called back after I didn't answer the first time.

- Oh, man, it's just. It's just.

It's a shame.

So you think you got me all figured out?

Ella, would you look at these?

Look at the numbers.

I checked the stats.

The quality of life, arrests.

We're hardly making it.

Thanks. Come on.

We got work to do. - Can I get my coat on?

No. Can't even have a cup of coffee.

Quality of life.

It's the foundation of police work.

Graffiti, gambling, truancy,

prostitution, urination,

drunken disorderly, traffic, DUI violations.

All of these misdemeanors we've been ignoring.

Ella.

Quality of life arrests are down

41%, district wide in seven.

We're practically ignoring them.

Crime is like a pyramid.

Quality of life on the bottom, murder at the top.

And right now, we are looking at 210 unsolved murders

in this city.

It's time to work the pyramid.

Misdemeanor, felony, murder.

Misdemeanor, felony, murder.

Every site that we hand out, every suspect that we flip

is going to move us up the food chain.

That means we're going to have to get hungry.

And that means, for the next 72 hours,

anybody that's not working on a hot case can be working

on quality of life.

Now, for the duration,

we're all going to be in this together.

All of us. Go out in the field.

That means captains, sergeants, uni's, detectives,

and, of course, me.

All right, any questions?

Ella.

Assignments are as follows.

Page and Paris.

Kaplan and Monroe.

Weaver and Norris.

Mannion and Noland,

Fender and Stewart.

I haven't worn dress blues in over 20 years.

- Well, we lead by example, Joe.

All right, who's gonna run the store?

We're out on the streets? - Ella.

You're pushing all my buttons today, aren't you?

Come on, it's gonna be fun.

It's only gonna be about three, four days.

It might be fun.

Hope it fits.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to this.

- Atta boy. It's gonna be a lot of fun.

A lot of fun.

[crowd chattering]

NPD - Go ahead.

So you're my new bodyguard.

For you

it's a two way transmitter.

Fits in your ear.

Find yourself in trouble, you call me.

I'll be on the other end 24/7 - my very own guardian angel?

Something like that.

Time to go, Haley.

Well, wait a minute. Go where?

Oh, she's got an appearance at a record store that's

been advertised all week.

No, no, I don't think so.

It's too public, too tough to control.

Yeah, that's why you're here, right?

Ready?

[crowd chattering]

[camera shutters]

You know, we should have gone out back.

- You can't disappoint the fans, detective.

This is what it's all about.

All right, give us some room.

You'll get your autograph.

Just relax.

Get her out of here.

We're going, we're going.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey. What are you doing?

What are you think you doing, huh?

- You're hurt... You're hurting me.

Oh, yeah? - Yeah.

Who are you, bubba?

Just a fan, man.

Just a fan.

Fan, huh?

You stay away from me. You understand me?

You got enough souvenirs?

Now beat it.

[upbeat]

yo, yo, yo.

Putting that down a notch.

Neighbors complaining.

What neighbors, man?

The state of Maryland.

Pack it up, gentlemen.

Let's go.

Still got the moves, huh?

Anybody can do it for three days, Temple,

this is my life every day.

Have you forgotten what patrol's like?

Take the detective's test. That's all I gotta say.

- Eh, maybe.

Why'd you become a cop?

- Pepper?

Angie Dickinson, policewoman.

She got to hang out with all the guys.

And I love "Get Christy love"

with the purse hanging off the shoulder, the high

heeled boots, big afro.

Who's "Get Christy love"?

You know.

Freeze, sugar.

What?

[music]

Yeah, well, I couldn't get back to sleep after your boss

called at four in the morning.

I know. I'm sorry. I spoke to him about that.

And next time he calls at one in the morning?

Let's just order.

What is it?

Had a very interesting morning.

A very interesting conversation, in particular with Thomas Hayes

from the mayor's office.

Why didn't you tell me you had a job offer?

Because

it wasn't an option. - Why?

Because I don't want to leave the NPD.

Why not? What's keeping you there?

I don't get it!

Clive.

I love my job.

I didn't think.

Change is hard for me, all right?

I mean, look how long it took

for me to say yes... - To me.

Yeah

And you didn't think that maybe this was something

you should discuss with me?

It's not just you anymore, Ella.

This affects our family.

That's not fair.

No, what's not fair is that a friend in the mayor's office

knows more about what's going on in my wife's life than I do.

- Can I take your order?

Jerky?

- No. I don't want any of your corn nuts, sunflower seeds,

bubble gum, especially.

Don't want any jerky. - It's jerky.

Jerky. 97% fat free.

No, thank you.

Gonna be a while before we take a ten-Seven.

Yeah. Don't remind me.

Twinkie?

All right, all right. Come on.

Go ahead, say it.

This is insane, ludicrous that you and I run

the police department.

That we don't belong out here. - Sit behind the desk.

Dulls the edges. Joe, this could be good for us.

Come on.

All right.

Turkey.

I'll have some turkey. Not too much.

There's not very much left?

All right, nice.

A little action here.

[police siren]

Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Oh. What are you doing?

Doing? - Yeah.

Nothing. Nothing.

I'm not doing nothing.

You're not doing nothing? Nothing?

You got a name? - Flick.

Flick.

How long you been a fireman, Flick?

Fireman?

Well, you better be a fireman putting on a blaze,

or else we're gonna have to take you in.

I'm going to jail?

Yeah. - All right, Flick.

Zip it up. Turn around.

Hands behind your back. You know the routine.

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.

Give me your hands. Give me your hands.

Don't touch me. Come on.

How long has he been in there?

45 minutes.

Think he's had enough to drink?

- Two cups of coffee, three glasses of water.

Think he's ready?

He's ready.

[door opens]

Yeah.

Flick? - No, man.

Oh, no. - No, I'm good.

There you go.

Sorry. Hey.

Hey, man. Hey.

Y'all got a bathroom in here?

Oh, yeah. We got three of them on this floor.

You doing an architectural survey?

I gotta go. Oh?

Coffee.

Yes, you may.

I like her that. - Hey.

Hey, look, man, I gotta go pee now.

Can I go pee, please? - You pass it.

Cream, little cream, little cream, little cream.

There we go. - Oh, yeah.

Can I use the bathroom, man?

Who's your dealer, Flick?

Come on, man.

Hey, hey, look, man, I gotta go pee now.

Who's your dealer?

I don't do drugs. - You don't do drugs?

No! - I see your arm.

Show me your arm.

So, what's the arm acne about?

BB! BB

that's the dude you want. BB...

That's who I bought my stuff from.

I tell you where we hang, where we eat, where

we sleep, everything.

Let me go to the bathroom, please.

That's everything.

Let me go to the bathroom, please.

Phoebe, stop.

Stop.

[dramatic music]

Stop.

[grunts]

My friends will see me now.

Hold on. What we got here?

What we got here?

Check that out. - Nice.

Let's go. - Hey. Why didn't she tackle me?

Who turned me in, man?

I got a right to know who betrayed me.

Hold still, BB.

[camera shutter]

Face forward.

Yeah, that's right.

You print yourself up an eight by ten, princess.

Keep it by your bedside for those lonely nights.

[camera shutter]

So who is this friend that you're holding for?

Hmm? I forget.

Yo, this can go on all day. My brother.

BB, the way I see this, and going a lot longer than

that, I'd say eight to ten years.

Behavioral science needs us back by two.

I'll ask the questions, you can run biofeedback.

You guys trying to scare me with a copy machine, man?

Obviously you haven't kept up with your

law enforcement technology.

Place your hand on the Verisimility glass.

Say what?

- Do as the officer says.

Oh, man.

This is foolishness, man.

For the record, state your name.

BB.

Your full name.

Bruce Bradley Wilcox.

Man, people on the screen

know me as BB.

[machine scanning]

Look like we're off to a good start here.

Do you know Calvin Tulane, otherwise known as Flick?

No, man.

You want to try that again?

- Man, you suspect me to believe that, man?

BB, my brother, it doesn't matter what you believe.

This here is technology.

That's what the judge is gonna believe.

It don't matter what you think. - All right, man.

I know the brother, all right, but he ain't nobody, man.

He's a small fish like me, man.

You go fishing, you gonna throw me right back in, brother?

BB, my brother, small fish don't go around rocking a gold

and diamond Rolex.

Oh, man, that old thing?

- That old thing is worth 25 grand on sale.

I take that to my robbery team, I bet they tag it as stolen,

add it to your time.

Who gave you the watch, man?

Man, it's Happy, man!

Happy Palmieri.

All right, good, good.

[intense music]

We have a warrant for the arrest of Happy Palmieri.

No one look too happy. That player, huh?

Hello, precious.

You here for business or pleasure?

Is there a difference?

Give precious a ride. [indistinct]

I'm Alma. The ride's complimentary.

You're under arrest for prostitution.

Let's get you dressed.

Yeah, he's not in our system, but security cameras got him

in concerts in Cleveland, Baltimore, New Orleans,

and Philadelphia. - So he's just a fan?

Super fan.

You know, like a deadhead or a spring stink groupie.

You ought to see the folks that turn out for those

Xena conventions.

Boy, you know, I tell you, though, he still kind of

gives me the creeps.

Dig deeper, Brander.

Be sure about this guy.

Absolutely.

Oh, hey, detective.

I just want to say it's been really great working with you.

Yeah.

You know, I heard that Temple never had to take

the detective's test.

I mean, overnight, Chief saw his potential,

and then, bam, he got a promotion the next day.

You think you're as good as Temple, Brander?

Is that what you're saying? You think it's that easy?

Uh uh.

No, no, no, no.

I'm just saying I'm open to recommendations.

You know, you got the Chief's ear.

I was hoping maybe you could put in a good word,

Temple Page, Temple Page.

Mmm.

Talk to me about your band.

How long have you guys been playing together?

- Since Nashville.

The first album.

Tell me about Richie Gavardon.

- Best drummer I ever played with.

You ever cross him.

- It's not Richie.

Trust me.

What do you think?

Nice.

Nice?

It's one of a kind.

Can we just get back to Mr. Gavardon?

- Look, detective, you're wasting your time.

It's nobody who works for me.

And how do you know?

Because this isn't the first time something like

this has happened.

Look, I get a lot of mail.

Probably 150 pieces a day.

And in every batch there's some freak who wants to filet me.

Or worse.

It just goes with the territory.

Thank you. Tonya.

Tell me about this guy.

Doug Darby.

What was her name?

The girl who broke your heart.

Just tell me about this guy, okay?

She must have been something.

You both need to come see this.

Oh, my God.

- Where's the driver?

Upstairs in the coffee shop.

Where were you?

I can't be everywhere, man.

- This woman's life is in your hands.

Either you grow eyes in the back of your head or you

hire more people.

- Dispatch.

Yeah, this is Debreno.

I need to roll CSU to the Sheppard, Capitol Hotel.

I said roll it.

Firm son. Paperwork.

I never did like it.

Well, that's why I became my own boss.

I didn't want to do paperwork.

I let somebody else do paperwork.

How about these shoes? - Hmm?

I've been in them half a day, 4 hours.

A killer. - Hammer toe.

The old days, you couldn't walk your beak without feeling pain.

What the heck happened?

Crooks got younger, we got older.

Time marches on.

Hey, I got her.

Afternoon, ma'am.

I'll give you a hand.

Aren't you kind of old for this?

Yes, ma'am, he is. May I help you?

You no spring chicken either?

What are you laughing at?

Hey, hey, hey. Excuse me.

What are you laughing? Just paint.

You're supposed to be painting.

Huh? What are you?

Critic?

Yeah.

Okay, so here's the score at halftime.

Less than a day into our quality of life assignment and the home

team is in the lead. Ferris.

We all remember Flick, who led us down the yellow brick road.

In exchange for some community service, he introduced us to our

new friend, BB, a drug dealer without a brain.

We stopped the supply to northwest and southeast

in less than a day.

BB, cooperative cowardly lion

that he is, sent us to Happy,

who was very unhappy to see us

we ran serial numbers on some of the merchandise we

found at Happy's place.

It turns out, besides favoring barely legal ladies

of the night, Happy makes his living as a high line burglar.

Three home invasions, case is closed.

Good news.

Our man wasn't with us more than five minutes when he cut a deal

and turned over the catch of the day.

The Delgado twins.

Responsible for three armed ATM robberies in the DC

area in the last month.

Get down, - now, down.

Get down.

[intense music]

Gun registration info comes from Jackson hunting supplies,

Columbia Heights.

- The registration shows a fictitious owner and address.

- Hector Delgado tells us a store owner has a rep

for running guns.

Legitimate and illegitimate.

All right, we'll pay him a visit, see what he has to say.

[phone rings]

You gonna get that?

It's after eleven of them.

Just call it back.

I work in law enforcement, honey.

It's not a nine to five job.

You knew that when you married me.

It's not the police work.

It's Jack Mannion.

What?

You don't want to hear what I'm thinking?

I think I can handle it.

Jealousy is childish.

It's not something I expected from you.

It isn't jealousy. Ella.

You were handed the opportunity of a lifetime

and you squandered it. Why?

Because of your loyalty to Jack Mannion?

Forgive me if I don't quite understand it.

Loyalty is a good thing, Clive.

- Yes, it is, Ella.

I'm just saying Jack Mannion needs people like you.

He's lucky to have you.

I just don't think you need him as much as you think you do.

For the record, I think you'd make a great deputy mayor.

The train rode through the night

[humming song]

the thoughts of what might

lay ahead the passengers road

with a smile from their heads

they came from these

thoughts and dreams...

Morning

- Morning!

You know, you snore

and you sing.

My grandfather raised me and he used to sing me that song.

It was the first thing I heard in the morning.

Last thing I heard before I went to bed.

His mom taught it to him, but he got sick when he was little

and lost his hearing.

I guess it's the only song he knew.

He must be proud of you.

Well, he died before all of this.

I'm sorry.

[knocks on door]

Hey, Phil.

Hi.

You have the look you're falling for, aren't you?

What?

What did I do?

Anyways?

What?

Hey.

What can I do for you, Brander?

Would you like some gum? - Don't waste my time.

I don't have all day.

Tanya Dunsmore, the personal assistant.

She's got deposits down with three different

plastic surgeons.

Now, that's odd, don't you think?

So how does it relate to a possible motive

for wanting Haley dead?

I don't know.

Yeah, well, when you figure it out, you know where to find me.

You know, detective work isn't as hard as you guys make it look

[indistinct]

Take the job, Ella.

Does everyone know?

Just the right people.

- Come on. Let me buy you a cup of coffee.

Coffee?

I'm not gonna lie to you.

It's time consuming, but you get things done.

Everything that we have complained about

in past administrations, we can have a hand in changing.

Mindy, I'm not that kind of person.

What kind of person?

I don't need a park named after me.

Then they won't name a park after you.

But you'll be the one that kept the park in the city.

And for a lot of people, that would be enough.

And maybe one day, you can run for mayor.

See, now you're talking crazy.

Okay, so we seized the guns from the van.

The shotgun from the van yields a serial number.

The serial number from the shotgun takes us

to Jackson supply store, where it was bought.

We impounded all of Jackson's guns.

And this is where we got a hit.

Brass catcher flagged the shell case in front of the Glocks.

It was used in a murder four years ago.

Melissa Hoffman.

Case went cold after a month.

So you're telling me this guy Jackson

was stupid enough to have a weapon, a Glock that was used

in a murder four years ago?

Looks like it, sir.

Well, he's an idiot.

I agree, sir.

Any priors?

No, sir.

Was too easy.

Good job. - Thank you, sir.

Bobby. Bobby.

Bobby. Why?

You know, one of the illegal handguns you were selling

was used to murder this woman.

I don't know that girl. - It doesn't matter.

We got the gun. We got you.

That's all it takes. - Well, wait.

I just sell them. I don't use them.

Let me see the piece.

Let me see the piece.

Listen, I can lead you in the right direction.

Oh, thanks.

[intense music]

Hold it. NPD.

Do it now. Do it.

Get him up. Turn it around.

Turn it around.

Don't move. Do it.

Do it. Do it.

[gunshots]

Maybe you should consider a clip on.

Cute.

Here, let me help.

Tanya Dunsmore is about to drop a wad of cash

on plastic surgery.

Did you know about that? - Why?

You think she needs a new face to kill me?

How could be so cavalier about this?

- Because you're here.

Besides, Tanya's harmless.

She wrote a song that wasn't very good,

and I was honest with her.

She gave me the cold shoulder for a couple of days,

but it all blew over.

Let's go knock him dead.

Are you going to tell me why you killed Melissa Hoppin?

Would you look at me when I'm talking to you?

You can tell me why you killed her.

Or better yet, you can tell me who you killed her for,

and then he goes down with you.

Or you can take the fall by yourself.

It's your choice.

- She's found murdered on October 17, 1999.

October 16.

You deposited $5,000 in the bank.

On the 18th. Another five grand.

You didn't know her. You had no motive.

Look, we've already got you an attempted murder

of a police officer.

Do yourself a favor.

Talk to us.

He ain't talking.

Mm.

Tough guy.

All right. 10,000.

For that kind of loyalty, that can only mean one thing.

It does the job for a friend or family.

Mm.

You know something, Gibbons?

I am gonna rock your world.

I'm gonna tear apart every rotten tree trunk,

every rock I can turn over.

I find a friend you might have had or even talked to.

I'm gonna roast em and toast them.

You already spent the 10,000, right?

What difference does it make now?

Hmm?

- All right. Wait.

Her husband, Tom Hoffman.

I needed the cash.

The husband put the word out and I bet.

Just need a new engine from my car.

Tom is my ATM.

Yeah

[dramatic music]

- Yeah. Let me get back.

Just like and... Excuse me.

Who the hell are you?

Tom Hoffman, NPD.

You're under arrest for the murder of your wife.

Stand up. Put your hands behind your back.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used

against you in a court of law.

Gotcha.

So, Harry, how long did you take to learn this?

I'm just loading the disk. - No, no, no.

I mean the science stuff.

After my PhD? Three years

in forensics, two in pathology,

one a ballistics, and about a year in computer science.

There's a reason I got this gray hair.

It's not just a fashion statement.

Okay, here we go.

Whoa.

Detective Debreno? Yeah.

Scott Fagan from the Secret Service.

Can I talk to you, Mr. Plummer?

Yeah, what's going on?

- You're gonna have to ask your gentleman

to remove your radios.

We need the airwaves clear while the president's

in the building.

The performers are wireless, aren't they?

- We cleared their channel.

You get them back when the show's over.

We got you covered until then.

Fine.

I don't believe this.

I gotta get this guy.

Get her in the building. - Get her inside.

Let's go. Now. I'll see you in there.

Hey. Hey, man.

- What did I tell you about staying away from her, huh?

What? - I say I don't do nothing.

- This guy? Yeah.

Let's go. Let's go.

Is that the guy?

Is that the guy who's been stalking me.

Thank God it's over.

Ricky asleep?

Yeah

his new basketball coach is wearing him out.

He'll be fine.

I met with Mindy Portland.

You were right.

The job is an opportunity of a lifetime.

Don't take the job from me. Baby.

I thought that's what you wanted.

I wanted it to be a decision.

I could support you, a mutual decision.

I'm sorry.

You're gonna have to give me time to start thinking in terms

of us instead of just me.

Okay.

Okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Everything.

[indistinct chatter]

You go. That's everything.

What kind of a freak are you? Stan.

- Hey, man, I don't want to hurt her, okay?

I told you that.

You working with somebody else? You got a partner?

Is that what it is? - No.

Don't lie to me.

I'm telling you the truth, man.

[phone ringing]

What's up, Brander? I'm busy.

Tanya Dunsmore.

That plastic surgery info you wanted?

I got it.

Yeah, it looks like she was planning to have the works.

Nose, chin, cheeks, everything.

Check this out.

Before.

After.

She's turning herself into Haley Adams.

[intense music]

Haley.

Where's Haley?

I'm right here, sugar.

Where the hell is she?

She is not the only one who can sing.

Don't let her out of your side.

She tells you where Hayley is, you let me know ASAP.

I need your radio.

NPD - here you go.

Thanks.

[radio noise disturbance]

Haley?

- You there?

Where are you?

In a car trunk, I think.

I can't breathe.

Did you hear that?

Yeah.

Son of a bitch.

Haley?

- I'm here. I'm here.

Haley.? - I'm here.

[suspenseful music]

[glass shatters]

You okay?

It's over. It's over.

You're gonna be fine.

Sure you don't wanna come along?

Nah, I can't.

I'll double your salary.

Now what would I do with all that money, huh?

What's this?

Advice.

Nashville style.

Her name's Clara.

Goodbye, Kevin.

Take care.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

If your heart

is willing then your head can

rest

Talk to me...

Chief.

Isaac and Marilyn Ryerson.

Melissa Hopkins parents. - Mr & Mrs. Ryerson.

Please come in.

Have a seat.

Thank you.

Thanks for coming.

Can I get you anything? - No.

Uh, no. No, thank you.

Yesterday, we apprehended the man

who killed your daughter.

Oh my God.

I'm sorry.

We should call Tom.

He'll want to know

[emotional music]
