'The name's Brogan, Lieutenant Brogan.

'For 20 years, I was with the NYPD.

'Now... Well, let's just say,

'I've transferred to another precinct.'

YORBA: 'I had just finished having lunch in Magma Park,

'something I do regularly,

'and was about to make a call to the office

'when a sports hopper appeared overhead...'

THEY GASP

'..pursued by two police cruisers.'

SIRENS BLARE

'The next thing I knew, one of the cruisers opened fire.'

THEY YELL

'The sports hopper was blasted out of the sky.'

There was no warning given. The driver didn't have a chance.

That's a lie!

- Huh? - Easy, Haldane.

Officer Haldane, this may not be a court of law,

but this hearing still has rules of procedure.

Sit down, please.

Let me remind you, Mr Yorba,

that although this Internal Affairs Panel

is reviewing the events in an officer-involved shooting,

you, sir, can and will be charged with perjury

if you give false testimony.

It's the truth!

Can you explain why,

in your statement taken immediately after the incident,

you said...

"As the police cruisers continued

"to pursue the sports hopper,

"the driver leaned out of the window of the hopper

"with a blaster and started firing"?

I made that statement at the time

because I was afraid for my life.

Ask your bailiff.

I'm telling the truth.

The officers flying the cruiser that fired its cannons,

can you identify them?

Yes, I can.

'After the hopper crashed,

'the cruisers landed close by

'and the cops got out.

'I'll never forget their faces.'

It was Lieutenant Brogan and Officer Haldane.

They shot that man out of the sky without provocation,

murdered him in cold blood.

BEEPING

I'm up to six clicks a day on the turbo,

followed by 100 sit-ups, 60 shrugs, 50 arm-lifts...

Stop it, I hate just listenin' to you.

No pain, no gain!

The only exercise I like is the 12-ounce curl.

Altor brew by the can.

HE CHUCKLES

What do you got, Slomo?

The results of your annual physicals.

Please examine for inaccuracies

and insert your signature code

and return for mainframe processing.

Adios.

Hey...

There must be some mistake.

Uh, I don't feel very well, I...

I need a glass of water or somethin'.

Hey, Orrin.

Hey, what's up with him?

Oh, you mean "Mr Health Guru"?

What's the matter, Tooki, you his mother or somethin'?

What have you done this time, Romek?

You know we entered the top cop of the week competition?

Yeah.

I enhanced his record.

It now reads that Orrin is as fit as an 85-year-old Creon.

HE LAUGHS

The bailiff says he was tellin' the truth.

Oh, well, that makes me feel better (!)

Wait...

Maybe they're in it together, or something.

In what together?

Some kind of conspiracy to discredit us or something.

You're startin' to sound paranoid, Haldane!

What, paranoid? We got a big trial comin' up this week, remember,

Vanus Olvera, big-shot crime boss, star witness?

Yeah, that'd do it.

Come on, Haldane!

"Come on," what? The guy calls us murderers,

the bailiff says he's tellin' the truth,

and that doesn't bother you at all?

Well, I don't much like being called a "murderer" either,

but Slomo and Jane are due to testify this afternoon, remember?

Right.

What am I worried about?

Beats me.

"To be, or not to be, that is the question.

"Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer

"the slings and arrows of outrageous..."

RAPID BEEPING

"..fortune."

Ah, Lieutenant, Officer Haldane, there you are.

What's up, Slomo?

Damon Reseda has just arrived at docking bay six.

Give us a clue, Slomo.

You have to give him your deposition pertaining

to the Vanus Olvera case.

Tell me somethin', Slomo,

why would Olvera's defence attorney

wanna take depositions from two prosecution witnesses?

Ah, good question. It is an enigma.

What a surprise.

Olvera is trying to discredit us.

- Funny, Brogan. - Thank you.

Slomo, I need you.

Officer Carson,

"dost thou not bring me letters from the friar?"

Romeo And Juliet, act five, scene one, now drop it.

The mainframe is dumping sectors like there's no tomorrow.

Who said office work was dull?

Let's go.

This is Lieutenant Brogan and Officer Haldane.

This is Cambria Elon,

on detached service from Interplanetary PD.

Hello.

So you must be the VIP

that's been getting the guided tour all day?

I don't know about the VIP part, but, yes.

You're doing the information exchange for Interplanetary.

So they tell me.

He seems remarkably calm to me, Jane.

Whoa... what's going on?

Well, we heard about the witness this morning,

so, um, I told Cambria that you'd probably be

running around like a headless lizarette.

Oh, come on, Jane...

- Hey. - What?

Who's that?

King of sleaze...

Damon Reseda.

It's no big deal. Don't worry about it.

Let me show you the rest of the station.

What?

SLOMO: I think that should do it.

What would I do without you, Slomo?

"Do what thou canst.

"I will not go today No, nor tomorrow.

"Not till I please myself."

Taming Of The Shrew, act three, scene two.

Brogan, Haldane,

this is Vanus Olvera's lawyer, Damon Reseda.

Reseda. I know, we met.

You're late, gentlemen.

And you're a jerk,

so I guess that just about makes us even, huh?

You understand, of course,

that all remarks made during this meeting

are being recorded

and may be presented as evidence in a court of law.

Now...

my client's waiting.

Ah, Lieutenant Brogan, Officer Haldane,

it's good to see you again.

Does he have to be here?

My client has the legal right

to hear the accusations made against him.

He has that right, but he must remain silent.

Hmm.

Olvera, I accuse you of dealing in black crystal.

This is not the trial, Brogan.

I am just here to record what you say you saw.

Now, who wants to go first?

Oh, I'll go.

For the record, this is Officer Jack Haldane, 88th Precinct,

and on the night in question,

myself and my partner, Lieutenant Patrick Brogan,

were on a stakeout in the Wharf District,

when I saw the most grotesque sight I had ever seen...

- Uh! - ..Vanus Olvera.

Officer Haldane,

keep the personal observations out of this.

Right, right, I'm sorry. Sorry, I apologise.

Where was I?

The, uh, stakeout.

Well, at that point, my partner pointed out

what a disgusting, obese and smelly...

You're gonna pay for that, Haldane, you know that?

Are we still recording?

THEY CHUCKLE

We have to do these depositions more often.

They're like therapy.

You're losin' it, man.

Hey, Slomo!

Hey, whoa!

Easy, buddy. Easy!

SLOMO: Alert, alert!

My data banks are crashing! My data banks are crashing!

My data banks are crashing!

My... my... My data...

My... my... My data... POWERS DOWN

BEEPING

Not again!

Hey, Took, any word yet on Slomo's status?

Not really.

Damn! It just ate my morning's work,

an eight-page report!

Ooh, that hurts.

Hey, but I just heard something that might cheer you up.

Oh, yeah?

Orrin just dropped out of the top cop competition.

Oh...

what a shame!

HE CHUCKLES

There's the killer. Slomo must've been infected

when he tried to stop the sector dumping.

Man, oh, man.

- What? - It's a polymorphic virus.

It spreads through systems like self-mutating disease...

nasty stuff.

- How'd it get in there? - We'll never know.

Polymorphs rewrite their own code strings.

"Generational masking", it's called.

That way, there's no path to follow back to the programmer.

Damage?

Slomo, obviously...

and we lost data in a number of sectors in the mainframe,

but they're all backed up.

Lucky we found them so soon.

What about Slomo? Can you fix him?

I'll try.

Is he still gonna have his memory?

He's got to, uh, testify in an IA hearing this afternoon.

I appreciate that, Lieutenant,

but I can't see it happening.

Look, Slomo's neuron networks are tamperproof,

even by this kind of virus.

It's getting to the data, that's the problem.

All his secondary systems are locked up,

and right now, I don't know how to unlock them.

Well, Slomo's part of the team.

Do what you can.

Well, I've got some buddies in research and development

at Cyber Dynamics.

They're working on a self-repair software.

- I'll twist a few arms. - Break 'em, if you have to.

You got it, Lieutenant.

- Good luck at the hearing. - Don't worry about us.

We got Castle on our side.

- You be nice to her. - Always.

"Hence thou not minister to a mind disease..."

This Slomo thing's starting to worry me.

Nah, Brogan. I think you're just being paranoid.

Reseda... what are you doin' here?

It's a public hearing.

Yeah, but I don't think you answered the lieutenant's question.

Isn't it obvious?

If you two have perjured yourself in this hearing,

it's gonna cast some serious doubts

on your evidence against my client.

Excuse me.

Come along, people. Take your seats, please.

The hearing is now in session.

I trust you all had a nice lunch.

Next we have... Officer Castle.

Officer Castle...

can you give us your version

of the events leading up to the death of Nexus Simi?

Yes, sir.

My partner, Officer Took,

was giving evidence in a capital case.

I was accompanying the station RSA back to...

- Slomo. - Yes, sir.

I was accompanying Slomo back to the station

after the RSA convention

when a call came in from central tracking.

The suspect, Nexus Simi,

had robbed the First Altorian Trust on Subabeta.

He had shot a guard and fled the scene.

His hopper was now entering atmosphere

and headed for Demeter City.

Lieutenant Brogan and Officer Haldane

were already in pursuit when we arrived on the scene.

Hey, Brogan, how d'you wanna play this one?

This is our collar, Officer Castle,

make yourself scarce.

SLOMO: Officer Castle, the lieutenant's command

would seem to be a direct contradiction

of standard procedure.

I recommend that you seek clarification.

Um, Lieutenant, I'd like to stay with you

for a little while longer, if you don't mind.

Just don't get in our way, all right?

Looks like our bad guy wants to play tag.

Well, he's definitely "it".

BROGAN: Cut the chatter, you two.

Uh-oh.

Brogan!

I've had it with this guy. Lock and load the cannons, Haldane.

- Lieutenant, I don't think... - That's right, Castle,

you don't think! Let's do this guy, Haldane.

HALDANE: You're the man, Brogan.

Cannons locked and loaded.

No, Brogan!

I tried to put my cruiser

in Brogan and Haldane's line of fire.

'But they fired anyway.'

SLOMO: That was murder.

GAVEL BANGS

- Order! - What just happened?

Order...

or I'll clear this room!

Officer Castle...

are you saying the suspect in the hopper

did not fire on Lieutenant Brogan and Officer Haldane?

Yes.

GASPING

GAVEL BANGS

You do realise this is in direct contradiction

to your prior statement?

I'm withdrawing my prior statement, sir.

It was made under duress.

Be smart.

When Internal Affairs asks about the shoot down,

you be sure and say it was righteous.

You'll have a longer career.

Brogan and Haldane shot that man out of the sky

without provocation.

Murdered him in cold blood.

CHATTER

Order!

BANGS GAVEL

Castle, what the hell do you think you're doin' to us?

Just doing what's right.

I've thought about what you said, Brogan, and I came to the conclusion

that the only thing that matters is the truth!

How do they expect us to get any work done, Fredo?

The whole system's a mess!

Well, that's not the only mess around here.

- Well, what's this? - Orrin's resignation.

He's leaving the force in a month.

What?

Why would he go and do a crazy thing like that?

Don't know.

Something about health problems.

Oh, Jeez, he's gonna kill me.

It was Lieutenant Brogan and Officer Haldane.

They shot that man out of the sky without provocation.

Murdered him in cold blood.

Brogan and Haldane shot that man

out of the sky without provocation.

Murdered him in cold blood.

'It was Lieutenant Brogan...'

Exactly the same language.

Delivered exactly the same way.

Yeah, then coupled with the fact that Slomo mysteriously goes down,

the only witness that can't lie.

I can see and hear, gentlemen,

but the powers that be may see and hear things differently.

What's that supposed to mean?

Well, downtown they're saying

it smells like two of my officers

might be coverin' their tracks.

Yorba and Castle have already accused you of coercion.

You were around Slomo half the morning.

You could've fed him the virus.

Yeah, all right, I see your point.

You do?

Well...

Well, bottom line...

for appearances, I'm taking you two off active duty,

pending the outcome of the IA hearing.

Oh, that's just great, Captain!

Calm down, Haldane!

Look, look at it from my point of view.

I've got one trusted officer

claiming two other trusted officers have committed murder.

We didn't murder anybody!

Right. Now, unofficially, I'm ordering you two

to get to the bottom of this

before it tears this precinct apart!

OK, so who do we trust?

I'm sorry. I can't help you there, fellas.

- I gotta talk to Jane. - Hold on, man.

Brogan, she thinks we're murderers!

And no amount of talk is gonna change that thought.

All right, so what do we do?

Make sure Slomo gets back online. He's our only hope.

I had to cash in some favours

with the boys down at Cyber D.

Say hello to one of the sweetest little

diagnostic self-repair programs ever designed.

Will it work?

Well, it's been cooking for half an hour. Let's see.

Come on, Slomo, speak to me like an honest drover.

Uh, Much Ado, Shakespeare.

A little game we play.

SLOMO BEEPS LOUDLY

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! What's happening?

The self-repair interface is kicking feedback

through the audio circuits.

Don't worry, this is a good sign.

How long?

Too early to tell.

Uh, look, Carson, keep Slomo's progress

under your hat for a while, all right?

Sure thing, Lieutenant.

You realise his memory can't be altered?

That's what we're counting on.

So you think we can trust Carson?

We have to.

I don't know about you, Brogan, but I'm starting to get confused.

OK... what do we have?

Slomo's gone haywire, and somebody got to Jane.

Yeah, but that's where I lose it.

I mean, Janey is as straight as they come.

But if the Tarn bailiff says she's tellin' the truth,

we know that she's lyin'...

I don't know, Brogan, it doesn't add up.

Well, there's only one rational possibility

I can think of.

Her memory's been altered.

How?

I don't know. Let me work on that.

In the meantime, why don't you talk to Reseda?

Why Reseda?

Because if Olvera is trying to discredit us,

Reseda's a good place to start.

I don't understand it, Took.

I know what I said to Internal Affairs

happened the way I remembered it...

but it couldn't have, could it?

You mean, you're not sure?

No... No, I'm sure.

I can see it as plain as day.

Officer Haldane?

Can we talk for a moment?

Sure.

I think I can help you.

What do you mean?

I mean, I think Miles Yorba and Officer Castle

had their memories altered.

Wow, that's, uh...

that's takin' a pretty big risk, isn't it, Cambria?

I mean, rumour has it, I'm a cold-blooded killer.

No, you're not.

Look...

there were peculiar...

mannerisms and phrase repetitions

I recognised in Castle's testimony.

I've seen these symptoms before in the Delphi system.

So what are we waiting for?

Let's go to the IA chairman right now.

It's not that simple. Although we know what's happening,

it's gonna be almost impossible to prove.

Maybe if you tell me the truth,

every little detail,

I can approach Castle and try to convince her

that she's not thinking straight.

I don't know. That sounds like a long shot.

It's worth a try.

OK.

It happened pretty much the way Janey said,

except for the end.

This is the police!

Descend to ground level immediately!

Where's he goin'?

Damn it! Castle.

I've got him, Lieutenant.

That's an HTB!

If you do not descend immediately,

we will have to use force!

Brogan, I'm on my own here. I can't arm my cannons.

All right. Peel off and we'll take him.

We don't have any choice here.

Cannons armed.

Fire when locked.

So that's what happened.

You were protecting Castle.

Well, the guy didn't give us much choice.

Are you absolutely sure about that?

Why not run through it again for me...

one more time?

I've had it with this guy. Lock and load the cannons, Haldane.

- Lieutenant, I don't think... - That's right, Castle,

you don't think!

Let's do this guy.

I'm not gonna do this, Brogan.

Fire the cannons!

Now!

No, Brogan!

Memories are funny things, Haldane.

They can play tricks on you.

New ones can appear almost anytime.

Jane seemed fine an hour before the hearing,

then at the hearing, she went off.

It's gotta be hypnosis.

That's what I figured,

but is there anything we can do to overcome it?

I'm not sure. I mean, I've worked with hypnotic suggestion in post-op.

It's very powerful.

Yeah, I know, that's why I called you.

Well, OK, look, I've gotta talk to some people.

All right, um, time's short.

We need some answers. Um, honey, don't call me.

- I'll get back to you. - OK.

I don't know what it's about. Brogan said he wanted to see you.

It's all right.

He doesn't even know we're here.

What was that for?

Fulfilling... my fantasies.

So why do you need to see me?

I've been talking with Olvera.

- What? - That's right.

The plan's changed.

Terrific.

Nice of Olvera to let me know.

What's he have in mind?

He wants us to frame Brogan and Haldane

for another murder.

Why?

The plan's working like a dream.

He wants a little extra insurance.

Who's the lucky victim?

- You are. - No!

BLAST, HE GRUNTS

Brogan and Reseda just started arguing and...

the next thing I knew...

..Brogan just blew him away.

You OK, Haldane?

Uh, been better, Captain.

Any chance that Brogan's still here, Sergeant?

Nothing's left the docking bays in the last half hour.

All right. I want a guard put on the IA hearing.

Nobody goes in or out. I want this station sealed...

and find Brogan.

And, uh...

no deadly force, Sergeant.

Listen, Orrin, we gotta talk.

I know we've had this problem with the lieutenant and stuff,

but I haven't had a chance to...

Look, can this wait?

Now is not a good time for me, OK?

COMMUNICATOR BEEPING

'Romek, Orrin, report.'

Nothin' to report on this level, Sarge.

You check level three.

You two check the docking bay.

Jane, anything your end?

There's no sign of him here.

I don't like this, Janey.

Remember, people,

we all know and respect Lieutenant Brogan,

but you must consider him armed and dangerous.

Terrific (!)

Sorry about this, Lieutenant.

Yeah, please don't take this personal or nothin'.

Uh... mind telling me

what "this" is all about, guys?

Well, there's a shyster ambulance chaser down in interrogation

with a neat little hole where his ticker used to be...

And Haldane says you're the shooter.

Captain, we have him, sir. We're bringin' him up.

Right.

You stay put, Haldane.

That's an order.

Cambria, something is wrong.

I feel like I should be doin' something.

Don't you remember?

The captain told you what to do.

Brogan's gone over to the other side!

He's a rogue cop who cannot be trusted!

Do you understand?

Of course I understand. I saw him kill Reseda.

I want you to find him and kill him!

It'll be my pleasure.

Brogan, why?

Why'd you do it?

Those weapons on stun?

Of course they are. Why?

THEY GROAN

That's why. Sorry, guys.

Oh, uh, C-Captain...

Sir, we, uh, we, uh...

We sorta had a problem.

- You go that way! - Got you!

SLOMO BEEPS INDISTINCTLY

Slomo.

Slomo, can you hear me?

Come on, I need you!

I-I-I-I...

Brogan, I've been waiting. Are you OK?

Yeah, never better. You got anything yet?

Captain.

We've got an unauthorised transmission.

- Brogan? - That's my guess. It's scrambled.

- Location? - E section.

Let's go, Castle, Took!

SAL: 'The bottom line is,

'almost every kind of hypnosis is reversible.'

The victims invariably respond to associational therapy.

In English, Sal.

The memory is formed out of association, right?

So the idea is to expose the victim

to facts they cannot challenge

and, therefore, forcing the true memory to reassert itself.

Act two, scene, scene one...

Lieutenant Brogan.

Freeze!

Nice one, Brogan.

He could be calling

from anywhere in the station, Captain.

What the hell are you trying to do, Brogan?

I-I don't feel too hot.

No kidding.

How long before you're fully operational, Slomo?

That w-will re-require a prolonged

period of d-d-d-diagnostic...

OK, OK! Forget fully.

When can you access your memory banks?

No time like the pre-present.

All right.

Access your video record of the Nexus Simi pursuit.

No-No-No-No problem.

Slomo, get on with it!

Nexus Simi pursuit access,

would you like me to re-re-replay it?

Yeah... No.

Can you, uh, plug into the mainframe?

Do you think that's prudent?

I still have a ROM-ache from last time.

It's OK, it's OK. Carson found the virus.

Here you go.

Go for it.

Stop!

I knew you'd try to destroy Slomo.

What are you talkin' about?

He's the only one that knows you killed Nexus Simi.

That's nuts!

And I saw you shoot Reseda.

Whoa, whoa. Slow down, Jack.

That never happened and you know it.

All I know is what I saw.

You're a dirty cop, Brogan.

Now Podly told me to kill ya.

Come on, Jack. Think.

Somebody got to Jane, remember?

Now they've gotten to you.

No... No.

Cambria.

Erm, Podly.

Haldane... Haldane! You know me.

No, I don't.

OK, fine.

You think I wasted Olvera's lawyer,

but come on, man...

Podly would never give an order to kill somebody!

- I don't know. - You said "Cambria".

What about her?

Think about it, Jack! Think!

Stop! Stop staying that. I must shoot you, Brogan.

No, fight it!

SLOMO: Lieutenant, do you wish to continue?

Go ahead.

Shoot me, Brogan.

No. I've got a better idea.

Do it, Slomo!

SIREN BLARES

'This is the police. Descend to ground level immediately.

HALDANE: 'Looks like our bad guy wants to play tag.'

CASTLE: 'Well, he's definitely "it".'

What the devil!

That's Slomo's video record.

'This is the police. Descend to ground level immediately.

- 'Where's he goin'? - 'Damn it!

- 'Castle.' - 'I've got him, Lieutenant!'

Hey!

'If you do not descend immediately, we will have to use force!'

Castle, what the hell was all that about?

'Brogan, I'm on my own here. I can't arm my cannons.'

'All right, peel off and we'll take him.'

- 'Cannon's armed.' - 'Fire when locked.'

That's what really happened.

GUNFIRE ON SCREEN

Oh, what have I done?

Nothing that can't be undone, Jane.

- Brogan, I'm sorry! - No, that's OK, that's OK.

Think how Haldane feels.

You wanna clue the rest of us in, Lieutenant?

Yes, sir. It was Cambria.

She uses hypnosis to bend people's minds.

She killed Reseda then she did her little number on Haldane.

Well, where is she now?

Hello, Cambria.

Jack.

You know, I remember now...

the truth.

You're confused.

If you'll just think for a minute.

Oh, I am thinking.

You're under arrest.

Jack, try to remember...

just try.

How can I forget?

It is the finding of this hearing

that the allegations made

against Lieutenant Brogan and Officer Haldane

were part of a conspiracy to discredit them,

initiated by one Sylvanus Olvera...

Come on.

..and intended to prevent the aforementioned officers

from testifying against him in an unrelated matter.

- Hey... - Oh, you stupid fool!

Shut up!

This panel further finds

that the witnesses who gave false testimony

against Brogan and Haldane

were coerced against their will by one Cambria Elon

and cannot be held accountable for their actions.

We have now considered all these facts,

including the True account of the shooting of Nexus Simi,

and we find that Lieutenant Patrick Brogan

and Officer Jack Haldane

have acted at all times in accordance

with correct police procedure.

APPLAUDING

This hearing is completed.

I can't make it at seven tonight.

How's eight?

Make what?

You've forgotten?

Cambria did mess up your memory, didn't she?

No, no, my memory's just fine.

Uh-huh.

Did you remember last equanight at Sarducci's?

Nice try, Castle... Nice try.

If you say so.

That's not an answer.

I can't believe you've forgotten

about my place afterwards.

Took was on station call...

the candles...

This is one of your little jokes, isn't it?

Isn't it?

All right, I admit it!

It was a stupid prank!

I feel really awful about it!

Look...

here.

Here's the hundred credits

you would've won off me at the competition.

I'm really sorry.

LAUGHING

Great!

Now I can put that down payment on that new omni gym.

What?

You guys knew all the time?

Slomo checked with me

before he could file that bogus report.

RSA units can't lie.

You should know that by now...

partner.

Now, uh...

what should I do with this resignation?

Don't give me any ideas!

You lost your memory,

but you sure didn't lose your appetite.

Yeah, but Cambria left me with one memory.

Yeah, what was that?

The look on her face

when I hit her with that stun shot.

'2-11 in progress.

'First Altorian Trust.

'Suspect driving a blue sports hopper.

'All units respond.'

Same bank and the same type of vehicle.

What was it they used to say?

BOTH: "Time to rock 'n' roll!"
