[inaudible]
On Georgetown just crossing twelve.
- Clear. - I got it.
I got it.
Suspect is riding a red scooter with matching red helmet.
He appears to be naked. Over.
- 642, say again? - Naked.
Butt naked.
Did you say butt naked?
Fuck, fuck, what's the difference?
A guy is touring around on a...
- Scooter in his birthday suit - And only one candle.
Yeah.
Parris, you okay?
I don't know.
I think so.
All right, listen, sit tight, all right?
Don't move.
642, I need EMT's immediately at Columbia and Almont.
I have officers with possible injuries.
I need a fire engine out here too.
We've got an overturned fire hydrant.
Morning, Chief.
Yeah.
So you got a high speed chase involving what?
Four cop cars and a naked guy on a scooter.
What did he do, flash...
- The president's wife - I have two cops injured, Allen.
I'm sure that's your first concern, isn't it?
It's mine.
How they doing, Ray?
They're fine, Chief. Brander.
You all right, Nancy?
I'm okay.
Here.
Thank you, John.
They're going to be fine.
Well, they're lucky they didn't kill anybody.
High speed chase, destruction of public property.
Aren't you getting tired of chasing me around, Alan?
I'm getting tired of it.
I know you get around, but, uh, since when the potholes
demand this kind of attention?
I had two officers injured doing their job unnecessarily.
To me, that's a crime.
And the suspect.
Gotta be the city.
Miss Farmer, you've invited me here today
to describe how the collapse of the Enco corporation affects
a city agency such as the metropolitan Police Department.
I can tell you that as a direct result of the fraud perpetrated
by ENCO, the MPD pension funds have lost millions.
The loss of Enco's corporate headquarters here in
the district, along with their auxiliary companies, means
disappearing tax revenues.
The result?
Budget deficits.
Which affects the MPD.
How, Miss Farmer?
People are the lifeblood of our organization, Mr. Chairman,
80% of our budget is labor.
A budget deficit in this district means we're almost
certainly looking at layoffs.
Do you have any estimate of the scale of those layoffs,
Miss Farmer?
5%, maybe more.
Because of the crimes perpetrated by Enco,
we're going to have less money to pay our officers.
Fewer policemen on the street will hinder our ability
to fight crime.
Crime is going to rise, and that affects every man, woman
and child and representative in the district.
Excuse me.
Would you like me to repeat that last section?
No, thank you, Miss Farmer.
You're welcome.
Good job, Miss Farmer.
Thank you.
Yeah, good job.
If there's layoffs, it'll be by seniority.
- Right, Miss Farmer? - Let's hope it doesn't.
Come to that, okay.
How'd it go?
Well, I told them like it is, not.
Did they hear me?
I don't know.
Oh.
I put together a list of the officers that
are vulnerable, depending
how deep we're forced to cut.
Chief, unless you pull a miracle
out of your city.
We're looking at laying off 5% of our people.
That's 200 lives, 200 families were putting in jeopardy.
And why? Because this city.
No,...
This government can't balance its books.
You feel like fighting this thing, Elle?
- Damn right I do. - I tell you what.
Why don't you get me a list of all the potholes
reported to the city in the last six months?
Why?
Because I am pulling a miracle out of my...
You didn't notice your briefcase was missing
when you first came in?
I don't inventory my possessions.
Every time I return to the room, I went to the gym.
I came back, my briefcase was gone, along with $300
out of my wallet.
I already explained this to the other cops.
And yet they didn't touch your watch, which is
right out in the open there.
Look, detective, I told you. They weren't after the watch.
They were after the Enco memos.
You don't have another copy of the memos?
- You don't have it on disk? - Detective?
There's one copy.
There's no backup, no disks. One copy.
I had it and it's gone.
And if you don't get them back before I'm scheduled
to testify before Congress Friday, I could go to prison.
Do you understand that?
I've got a new wife
and a child.
I don't want to go to prison because people
I was working for defrauded their stockholders.
All right?
So please stop asking me stupid questions
and go find the damn memos.
Buying any of that?
Oh, yeah, sure.
You had any other burglaries lately, Chuck?
We get complaints every now and then.
Small stuff.
Guests usually don't want to press it.
Any record of the thefts in my.
Office, we're gonna need it.
And we'll need to search the hotel.
Interview anyone who might have had access
- to Mr. Lemma's room. - You got it.
Okay, so I'm thinking civvies,
uniforms, then detectives.
What are you talking about?
Order of procession to the gallows.
Chop, chop, my friend.
If there are layoffs, maybe. Don't worry about it, buddy.
We're not going anywhere. We are too.
- Good. - Maybe that's why we go.
We're most likely to succeed in the job market.
Now see, that's twisted.
Each one of these dots up here on the screen, that represents
a pothole that was reported to the department of Roads and
highways over six months ago.
None of them have been repaired.
Do you know how much it costs on average, to fill a pothole?
I give up. How much?
Ella, how much?
$2,000 per pothole.
Now, if you take the average repair to a city
owned vehicle, say, like a bus, a conveyance of some kind,
not just cop cars, all right?
Repairs that had to be made because of
a close encounter with one of your unfilled potholes.
How much that costs on average?
We've done a little homework.
- $12,649 per vehicle. - Okay?
Now, like I said, I'm not that good at math, but let's
do some accounting here.
Let's say, well, let's round it off to $12,000, minus the $2,
000 to repair the potholes.
That leaves you $10,000.
Right.
And this is meaningful how?
Well, this is meaningful, commissioner,
because if you take that $10, 000 and you multiply it
by the number of dots up there on the screen,
it becomes meaningful because I am being forced to lay
off 5% of my workforce.
Cause we don't have any money. And here I find.
Well, wait a minute.
There's a little honey pot sitting there.
That's how it's meaningful?
You invite me down here to lecture me on how to do my job?
I don't think so.
I invited you down here because you're not doing your job.
That's the point of the so called lecture.
I answered to the mayor, Chief, not to you.
This lecture is over.
Yeah, why don't you fill a pothole, Sal?
Huh?
Just fill a hole, Sal.
Yeah.
That went well.
Last hotel, dumpster, and we're out of here.
If there are layoffs, it'll be by seniority, right?
Chief loves you. You got nothing to worry about.
He wasn't liking me too much when IA was on my case about
that missing drug evidence a few months ago.
Which you had nothing to do with.
I'm on the radar. That's all I'm saying.
I'm vulnerable.
Did you see Mr. Lemmer leave the building?
No, sir, not on my way.
When he left the gym, was he carrying anything?
A towel around his neck.
That's it.
Stairmaster for 30 minutes, light upper body weights,
steam, and an hour massage.
He didn't ask to put the subpoena documents in a hotel
safe or anything like that?
No, we were given a heads up on his arrival and he was
asked when he checked in if he had any valuables
he wanted us to secure for him.
He declined.
And Mr. Lemma was with you the entire time
- you were in the room? - Yes, sir.
I replaced the coax on his VCR unit and then I left.
Misses Mcmasters, you cleaned room 1121 Wednesday
- morning, is that correct? - Yes, sir.
I have the odd numbered rooms on the west tower, 11th floor.
Did you see a briefcase in the room?
I don't remember.
The rooms all look alike.
I might have, but it might have been in another room.
I just don't know.
Detectives, we got something.
Yes, that's it.
But where are the memos?
Well, it's not uncommon for a crook to take the valuables
and dump the case.
So we're gonna dust it for prints, check hotel employee
records and see what we get.
Please.
- How long will that take? - A couple days.
I don't have a couple of days.
I thought I'd explain this to you.
If I don't have those memos before I testify to Congress,
I am screwed. You understand that?
Yes.
Mr. Lemma, have you used this letter opener
since you've been here?
What, opening fan mail? No.
Positive?
I'm sure.
So what do you think?
Well, the tip's bent.
I'm thinking it could have been used
to pop the locks on that case.
Yeah, but if you're the thief, why risk it?
Why don't you just grab the case and go?
All good questions, shaft.
All good questions.
- Chief. - Oh, good.
Hey, how's this move?
Oh.
Thanks, locker. Good to see you again.
- Chief. - Mr. mayor, good to see you.
Let me ask you a question.
Since when did potholes be become police business?
Oh yeah, that's a nice picture of you, isn't it?
Since two of my officers got banged up by one this morning.
Chief, I want you to take another look
at your job description.
Sal Corruzzi doesn't work for you.
He works for me.
He is director of city streets and highways, not you.
Oh, you don't have enough work to do down at MPD?
No, I got plenty of work to do.
I mean, it's just that if I did my job like Mr. Cruz
does his, I wouldn't have time to do my job because I'd be
down here all the time getting my ass chewed out by you.
I mean, do you know how much the city pays out to settle
lawsuits involving potholes?
Not even a fraction of what the MPD pays out.
And damages every year.
All right, gentlemen, you better check your statistics.
Gentlemen, look, we're all on the same team here.
We're all feeling the bite of the budget crunch.
There's no sense in us fighting among each other.
Sal, what do you need to put this thing behind you?
A public apology.
I don't think he needs to apologize, Mr. mayor.
I mean. No, no, no.
Not me.
You.
You embarrass me publicly.
You apologize publicly.
Well, Sal,
Is it alright if I call you Sal?
Well, I'm gonna do it anyway.
If you think I'm gonna apologize to you for hurting your
feelings, you are mistaken. You work for me.
You know what I do? I kick your ass out.
You gotta be accountable for something.
You gotta be responsible for something.
How about a little honesty?
That should go a long way, shouldn't it?
Is that it?
I'm gonna go catch some crooks.
Okay. I'm just gonna be blunt.
Oh, boy.
The mayor owes a great deal to Sal Corruzzi.
Yeah, Sal Corruzzi controls the unions.
The unions put your boss, the mayor, in office,
and he's not gonna stay there. Lockhart.
If he's an honorable man.
By whose definition?
Don't tell him to stop worrying about me and just work faster.
None of us know how long we're gonna be here, do we?
You know, the mayor's looking to build a team.
Really?
You gonna be on it? Yeah.
Are you?
Thank you.
Morning, Chief.
Hey, did you see my story yesterday afternoon?
Yeah.
You just can't avoid the spotlight, can you, Chief?
No, Frank.
What I can't seem to avoid is you.
Okay?
I'm seeing something here with the mayor.
You dig in your own grave.
Let me tell you how this is gonna happen.
How the end will come.
Crime is down.
That's a fact.
And the papers are calling you a genius.
But your success is a problem for our new mayor.
This guy can't tolerate a Chief of police who's
more popular than he is.
So one day he'll send an emissary.
Someone you know, someone you work well with.
And this person could even be one of your people.
Will tell you they've got your back covered.
They'll gain your trust.
And when your guard is down, they'll betray you.
And you'll be gone.
How else could it go?
You hear that, Frank?
Ticking at the clock.
High noon.
Gary Cooper on Main street gonna have a showdown
with the bad guys.
And all the citizens have deserted him.
That was a great movie.
You seen Kendall today?
Check this out. The MO on all these robberies is the same
except for the last one.
And the pattern goes off. Why?
Are you just gonna pretend that I haven't noticed that?
Whatever it is you had going on with Kendall doesn't
seem to be going on anymore.
Now we're down to three hotel employees that
were working during the time of nine of the burglaries.
The most logical is Alice, the housekeeper.
What happened?
Did she find out about you and Odeen?
So I think I need to talk to these three, don't you?
Now why is it that while I am completely open with you about
my personal life, you don't tell me diddly be about yours?
Because I have the quorum, you don't.
- Aw, man, see, that hurts. - Let's start with Alice.
I'll drive.
See, I thought we had a special thing going on with
our relationship here. Honest with each other.
And? And, uh, thanks.
No problem.
And warmth.
Hey, look at this.
Guy's got his own website.
Yeah, he's practically a folk hero.
People love him. Yeah, I know.
I was one of them.
So I was almost killed trying to catch him.
According to his little blurb, what started as a bet
has turned into a folklore full scale prank.
There are 27 equestrian statues in DC and he is determined
to hit every one.
Well, not if we have anything to say about it.
He's got to have a plan.
Where there's a plan, there's a pattern.
If we can get a warrant for his web provider,
we might be able to id the guy.
Talk to the deputy Chief.
He's due on the hill Friday morning at nine.
And he's already cut a very good deal for himself.
Six months, club fed.
Yeah, well, that's got you all steamed up, doesn't it?
Do you want a Jelly Bean?
No, thanks.
And now he's gonna be able to show up at the committee
without the memos and say they're stolen.
And his friends, the senior officers of the
company, the real criminals, they don't even get mentioned.
So you're not buying the alleged burglary, I take it?
Not for a New York second.
This guy Lemma has hurt a lot of people.
If there's any justice in the world, the son
of a bitch belongs behind bars.
Well, I'm not gonna say it.
You're not gonna say what?
You need my help, huh?
If Lemma is involved in the disappearance of the memos,
you're gonna put him in jail.
You need me to help you do that?
You need me to help you out with an obstruction
of justice charge, a tampering with evidence thing,
you know, something like that.
Is that about sum it up?
Were you born with that attitude?
No. No, I had a wife from New York.
I see.
Okay, so, hazes, if you could help me out,
a fellow New Yorker would be indebted to you.
Okay. Is that it?
Is that the way you want to hear it?
Yeah.
So are you moving in here or what?
I sold my boat, Bruce.
Tell you what.
You help me put Lemma in jail and I'll help you
find an apartment.
You would do that for me?
I'll find you a three bedroom with a view of the Potomac.
I accept.
It was just a few dollars.
I didn't think he would miss it.
I mean, he had a lot of money in there.
I never seen that much money in somebody's wallet.
You have to understand that my husband is very sick
and his medicine is very expensive.
Did you see anything else in the room?
It's a briefcase.
The one you asked about before is a fancy one.
But I didn't touch it.
You didn't touch it after you stole his money or before?
I didn't touch it, period.
Ms McMasters, you seem like a very nice lady, okay?
But you're in trouble. Do you understand that?
A lot of trouble.
We're interested in some papers that were inside
of that briefcase.
I'm sure they're of no value to you.
Now, either you realize that and did something with them
after you took them or somebody paid you to take them.
Either way, we want those papers back.
I did.
I'm very sorry.
What? Wait.
I don't think she did it.
You buying that?
You heard her story.
She needs the cheddar.
Yeah, I know she needs the cheddar, but I don't
think she took the briefcase.
She's not that good of an actress.
Debreno.
Yeah, be right there.
Hawker.
Okay, this is the last model built.
With the antique brass latches.
The pattern of scratch marks on the inside of the latches
and the faceplate is consistent with the shape of the.
Letter opener's blade edge.
Hawk, is this the blade that was used to open the case?
Yes, it is.
Okay, so where are we?
Back to Lemma as our prime suspect?
Yeah, we just gotta find out what he did with those memos.
Thanks, Harry.
- You call about a naked guy? - Yeah.
We came back from getting some coffee
and the guy was up there.
He lit out of here fast.
Soon as we hollered at him.
Yeah, and all I wanted was an autograph.
My wife thinks he's the best thing.
- To happen since MJ came to town. - Hey, guys.
A criminal, okay? Don't glorify.
What kind of stuff do you use to clean that?
- Uh, walnut dust. - Walnut dust?
Yeah.
Nothing cleans better use on every statue in the city.
Yeah, call CSU.
Tell me we're gonna need lift a print off this thing.
What?
Yeah, tell him to bring the really big print kit.
Nance. I'm kidding.
Oh, yeah?
Well, I'm not 6042. Go ahead.
We need CSU over at foggy bottom park.
- Over. - Copy that.
All right, last and first out.
That's a fairest way.
Well, the law gives me some discretion.
Why don't we see who opts for early retirement
before we slash and burn?
Well, I'd like to provide a severance package
and two weeks notice.
That'll take a little of the sting out of it.
This is not fair.
No matter how we do it,
I know these people.
I know about their lives, their hopes, and their dreams.
That if these layoffs
are inevitable, then I don't
want this job anymore.
Okay.
Joe, I want to talk to you about something.
Well, all right.
I'm free talk.
When you go home tonight,
Who you gonna see, Gail?
Your new baby?
You got a future.
- You think about laying me off? - No.
No, that's not it.
It would be in your best interest to start distancing
yourself from me just when I'm getting to love you.
Now what, are you getting paranoid?
The Ides of March, Joe.
Do you hear me?
All right, all right, all right.
Oh, we didn't wait you, Chief.
I've killed men for less, Sal.
You know, you were right about these potholes.
It's a piece of cake.
We should be done by.
I don't know, Summer.
Yeah, that's something.
You're the worst kind of loser, first of all,
you whine to the ref, and then you start playing dirty.
All I know is they try and lay me off, and they're gonna
- have a fight on their hands. - What can you do about it, Ray?
- If it happens, it happens. - Brander.
I work my ass off to get this job.
I work my ass off on the job.
Now, I'm a good cop, and I think the city
is better off for having me out there on the streets.
If you do say so yourself.
I'm just saying they would be stupid to
lay off somebody like me.
They may not have a choice, Ray.
That's the point.
Yeah. Morning, Miss Farmer.
- Morning, Ray. - Miss Farmer.
Brander.
Uh, could I have a decaf latte, please?
And how are you?
I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Just like everybody else.
Nancy, nothing's official yet.
There's no use worrying about it until.
You look at my personnel file.
Lately, Ella, I have a degenerative disease.
This is a case sooner versus later.
You're worrying about something that hasn't happened.
The Chief has discretion.
The question is, will he use it to protect me?
I don't know if you've noticed, but our relationship hasn't
been so good lately.
Momentarily.
That's fantastic.
Let's work out the day details with Lockhart now.
She'll brief me this afternoon.
There you go.
It's not a good time, Chief.
Please, Mr. mayor.
Chilly, isn't it?
Getting chillier.
Tuck in your jacket.
There you go.
Did you buckle up?
Click, hit or ticket.
Whoa.
Yeah. I thought this would give us a.
Chance to chat about your little war with Sal Corruzzi.
No, I was thinking we'd talk about
your proposed budget cut, sir.
City hall was that way, Chief. Mr. mayor.
Hang on here.
Oh, that was a big one.
Mr. mayor, would you agree that our cops
have done a pretty good job on city streets?
Absolutely.
I have no money, Chief.
No, but you got potholes, and those things are costly.
Potholes are not a crime, Chief, and government is a business.
I'm trying to balance a budget here.
You wonder what your problem is?
You think that you can simplify everything to a series of dots,
put them on a screen, and then make the world a better place.
Well, unfortunately, things happen to be a little
more complicated than that.
I think it's as simple as holding people like
Sal Corruzzi accountable.
Sal Corruzzi happens to be an influential union leader
and a key member of my team.
None of us exist in a vacuum, Chief.
Not you, not anyone.
Mr. Mayor, every pothole at Sal Corruzzi fills is one less
dot on my screen and one more cop on your city streets.
I want to be a team player, but I don't give a damn
who vacuums up what.
But I think if you're going to spend your money,
you ought to know what you're spending your money on.
You're going to spend it on these flatulent politicians
who've perfected the art of sitting on their butts.
What do you want to spend it on? Cops.
They're doing their job.
That's not too complicated, is it?
City Hall is that way.
Chief, I have a meeting in 13 and a half minutes.
Now, are you going to take me or am I going to call a cop?
I talked to my cousin.
Her ex roommate works for the Virginia state police.
Says they might be looking for?
Oh, just what I want to do.
Move to Virginia.
Hey, you know, we could always work for the feds.
Homeland Security come.
Stormtroopers.
Oh, son of a bitch.
Where'd this come from?
He was here. How would we know?
We've never seen the guy with clothes on.
Wait a minute.
Is this the statue of John Logan?
Yeah, so.
John Logan is in Logan's circle?
Yeah.
Our naked man is moving north.
He hits statues here, here, and here.
What do you think? Radiant hill park next?
Maybe. That's a good guess.
Yeah, well, until we get a dress from the website
or a hit off his prints, he guesses all we got.
Oh. What the heck is this?
Hey, buddy, move your truck.
I can't.
What do you mean you can't?
- It won't start. - Why not?
I tried it. It just won't start.
We'll try it again.
Brianna. What's going on?
What's going on, Chief, is that no one can go
in or out because it is moron.
Huh, what's the problem?
I told you, it won't start.
It won't start.
So who's your boss?
Commissioner Corruzzi.
Corruzzi? Yeah.
All right. Brander, you keep him here.
Even if he wants to move, don't let him go anywhere.
Nancy.
You know, sometimes I love this job.
Nancy, make sure Sal Corruzzi gets a bill for this.
Yes, sir.
Along with the spring bouquet.
Oh, no, no, no. What are you doing?
Get back in. I said get the truck,
Come here.
Oh, God.
Come here.
- Don't move. - Freeze.
What? What did I do?
It's him.
Oh, yeah.
Say cheese. Geez.
Cheese.
- So, you sure he's out? - Yep.
Moved him myself 2 hours ago.
He's in the penthouse at no extra charge.
- So he's happy. - He would be.
What are you talking about, Alice?
It's a non smoking room. And he smokes.
I smelled it right away when I went in.
He opened the window to clear the air.
I mean, they do that sometimes when they're not
supposed to smoke.
I also found some ashes in the sink.
Well, there are your memos.
Lemma must have had himself.
Quite a bonfire.
Yeah.
And where there's smoke, there's
usually a smoke detector.
Excuse me.
Huh.
Look at that.
Battery's disconnected.
Ld.
I'm gonna need you to dust this for prints.
You got it.
Okay. Manion.
You're late. You missed a slap on the wrist.
I think you're fine. My timing is absolutely perfect.
Did they catch the guy?
How much money was stolen?
How do you expect anybody to believe this?
We're very pleased with the outcome at this time.
Thank you. What happens at the Enco?
- If you'll excuse this. - Actually, no.
You're under arrest.
Please turn around, gentlemen.
My client's just been cleared by the United States Congress.
Excuse me, Mr. Lemmer, you're under arrest
for filing a false report.
We found the Enco memos right where you left them.
You can't be serious.
Tell it to the judge.
You better have a warrant detective.
Oh yeah, sure.
There you go. Enjoy.
Mr. Lemma? Jack Manion, Chief of police.
- How do you do? - This is ludicrous.
It is.
Washington is that way sometimes.
Say, Bruce Logan, us attorney.
Bruce, what is it?
When a witness is on the stand, he's sworn to tell the truth,
but he's telling lies. What is that called?
It's called perjury.
It's on the tip of my tongue.
And then he's tampering with evidence.
What if there's a word for it's obstruction of justice?
Is it? Is that a felony?
There you go.
Thanks.
And if a judge were to find a man like that guilty, how long
would he serve, do you think?
- Could be ten years. - Ten years?
I owe you.
It's not bad.
We all know that Truxton Circle can be the great place
that it once was.
And this administration is committed to rebuilding it
brick by brick, street by street, building by building.
And this is a little dirt that I don't mind slinging
Chief, Manion.
Seems everywhere I go these days.
You go.
Does seem that way.
You're an arrest, commissioner.
What for?
Reckless indifference to life.
What, you didn't fill the potholes as required by
the department's road and highway Chief.
This is neither the time nor the place.
Mayor as a loyal member of your team.
I don't think you should be liable for this man anymore.
Especially when I have 15 witnesses standing in line
waiting to testify that they were needlessly injured
by those unfilled potholes.
Can you hear me, Sal?
Yeah, I hear you.
Do you?
Excuse me?
All of our good works, boys and girls club initiatives,
literacy programs, all of it ignored because Jack Manion
has to have a pissing contest with Sal Corruzzi.
And over what potholes?
Is he deluded enough to think that he can take me on and win?
I don't think he's deluded at all.
No.
No, I expect not.
He has to go.
You know that, don't you?
Well, you'll need just cause you can't fire him.
- You didn't hire him. - He serves at my pleasure.
You'll get resistance he's very popular.
- The public safety commissions, - They also serve at my pleasure.
Okay,
what are you asking me to do?
You tell me Manion can't be removed without just cause.
You're a lawyer.
Find me just cause.
Chief, can I speak to you for a second?
Yeah, come on in, sergeant.
Sir, it's my understanding that you have some discretion
with regards to these layoffs.
Well, I don't think you need to worry.
You have seniority.
I'm not here about myself, sir.
I'm here about Nancy.
Chief, she needs your health insurance.
With a pre existing condition like HD, she may not
be able to get her insurance once she loses it.
Yeah, I know that.
Well, sir, I'm healthy, and with my experience, I should be able
to get a job someplace.
They're hiring in Virginia.
I'm just saying, sir, if it comes down to it,
please lay me off.
Keep Nancy.
You sure about this? Yes, sir.
Absolutely.
All right. Thank you.
Thank you, sir.
You want to put a successful narcotics task force
on the chopping block?
It's about allocating resources, Barry.
Times the tough.
You're starting to sound like a politician, Joe.
I know.
Enter
Chief
Commander...
I'm not happy about dismantling my unit, Chief.
Well, I don't think any of us are.
I wish I could say we have a stranglehold on
the drug trafficking in the neighborhood, but we don't.
Not yet.
Without the unit, Harry, this is about keeping cops
on the streets, right?
Until the budget crisis is over.
We got to do more with less.
But I could do more with more.
Take a look, Joe. Tell me what you think.
You got it.
Here we go.
