MAHONEY HAS IT IN FOR THE WHOLE PRECINCT.

I WILL PROVE TO YOU THERE WAS A KNIFE.

I WILL GO FIND IT.

A MAN IS MOVING INTO THE DANTE PROJECTS TOMORROW

WHO'S RUNNING FOR MAYOR.

IT'S THE LIVING CONDITIONS OF THESE PEOPLE IN THE PROJECTS

THAT I'M CONCERNED WITH.

YOU JUST WON 100 GRAND.

YEAH, THEY'RE LEAVING ME WITH ME, BOBBY.

WE ARE TEMPORARILY MAKING PERMANENT

THE TEMPORARY FIELD POST

ESTABLISHED YESTERDAY AT THE DANTE PROJECTS.

POST WILL BE UNDER THE COMMAND OF LIEUTENANT HOWARD HUNTER.

CHECK THE ROSTER BOARD FOR ASSIGNMENTS.

MAN DOESN'T KNOW WHEN TO QUIT.

IT'S GONNA TAKE A BULLET TO CONVINCE HIM.

THE POLITICAL MIND WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS.

HMM.

PARDON THE EXPRESSION, LET'S GIVE A HAND

FOR THE TIMELY LEG WORK YESTERDAY

OF DETECTIVES LARUE AND WASHINGTON

IN AFFECTING THE REUNION OF MR. WILLARD TISDALE

"I'VE OPENED A BANK ACCOUNT FOR THIS PURPOSE.

"PLEASE MAKE ALL REQUESTS IN WRITING TO ANDY RENKO,

"WHO WILL BE MINISTERING THE MONEY

THANKS, BOBBY HILL."

OH, YEAH, SUBMIT IT IN WRITING AND, IF POSSIBLE,

CRAWL WHILE MAKING THE REQUEST.

WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM, LANE?

HEY, LUCE, WAY TO GO, BABE.

THANKS.

CONGRATULATIONS THERE, BIG GIRL.

THANKS A LOT.

HEY, YOU HAVE A GOOD TIME LAST NIGHT, BOBBY?

NOT BAD... UM, A LITTLE BUSY.

YEAH, WELL, BEING A JERK IS A FULL-TIME JOB.

HEY, THIS IS NOT APPROPRIATE.

CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER.

OH, OUGHT TO HAVE BEEN A HELL OF A RAISE, HUH, COFF?

WHAT'D YOU GET, FOUR OR FIVE BUCKS A WEEK?

HEY, YOU KNOW, I DON'T HAVE YOUR EXPENSES

'CAUSE I DON'T BUY MY DATES.

I DIDN'T PAY FOR THE DATE, COFF.

I PAID TO SHOW YOU FOR A FOOL.

OKAY...

DAMN, MAN, STOP IT NOW!

THAT'S SICK!

THAT IS SICK, BOBBY!

- TAKE A WALK, MAN. - HEY, HEY, HEY.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

I DON'T CARE HOW MANY LOTTERIES YOU WIN,

YO, FURILLO.

SORRY WE MISSED CONNECTIONS YESTERDAY.

YOU HAVE A PAROLE OFFICER YET?

YEAH, SURE, WE JUST HAD A MEETING.

SEEMS LIKE AN UPRIGHT CITIZEN.

GANG INTERVENTION IS LOOKING FOR A SIT-DOWN LATER THIS WEEK.

MY ASSOCIATES AND I HAVE BEEN DOING SOME SITTING DOWN

OF OUR OWN, FURILLO.

I MEAN, IT'S TOUCH AND GO RIGHT NOW,

BUT I BELIEVE WE'RE COMING TO AN UNDERSTANDING.

YOU AND I HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING, JESUS.

LET'S NOT FORGET IT.

THE SITUATION IS LOOKING GOOD.

YOU WANTED PEACE.

ME, I'M OPTIMISTIC.

YO, OFFICER.

WHOA, I'M GOING TO BE A REGULAR WAKE-UP CALL, AREN'T I, CAPTAIN?

I JUST HEARD A STORY ABOUT YOU AND COFFEY.

UH, NOTHING TO IT.

WE'RE JUST GOOD FRIENDS.

I'M TAKING YOU OFF THE SHIFT TODAY.

- DON'T DO THAT. - I JUST DID.

LOOK, BOBBY, I'M A DRUNK.

I CAN FEEL THE KIND OF SPIN YOU'RE IN.

GO HOME... LIE IN FOR 24 HOURS.

- THINGS WILL LOOK DIFFERENT. - I NEED TO WORK.

IT'S THE ONLY TIME...

ON THE STREET, YOU'RE A MISTAKE WAITING TO HAPPEN.

I MEANT WHAT I SAID THE OTHER DAY.

YOU CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER ONE.

GET YOURSELF SOME HELP, BOBBY.

THE NIGHTMARE CAN END, BUT YOU GOTTA GIVE IT A CHANCE.

PLEASE DON'T, JUST STAY AWAY FROM ME.

I'M GONNA HAVE TO TAKE A SICK DAY, SARGE.

ALL RIGHT, ANDY.

FEEL BETTER SOON, HUH?

I HOPE SO... I HOPE SO.

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE THE ONE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CAPTAIN'S TRYING TO PROVE.

WELL, BOBBY IS VERY UNHAPPY RIGHT NOW,

SO YOU'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO IGNORE IT.

HEY, EVERYBODY HAS REASONS.

CHARLIE MANSON HAD AN UNHAPPY CHILDHOOD.

OKAY, HEY...

YOU WANT TO FIND OUT WHERE WE FINISHED?

SARGE, WE'D LIKE TO KNOW WHERE WE STAND ON THE EXAMS.

OH, CERTAINLY, LUCY.

MOST CERTAINLY.

YOU'RE, UH, HERE.

THAT'S THIRD. THREE?

CONGRATULATIONS, HUH?

AND, JOSEPH, YOU FINISHED...

23RD?

AWW...

HEY, I FOUND IT!

MISS BATES!

I FOUND THE KNIFE!

NO, NO, SEE HERE, I SHOW YOU!

I TOLD YOU IT WAS THERE.

I WENT BACK TO THE FIRST LIGHT.

IT WAS IN THE RAIN GUTTER ACROSS THE STREET.

JAY ELDRIDGE MUST HAVE THROWN IT WHEN HE GOT OUT OF THE CAB.

BUT THIS IS THE ONE... BLUE HANDLE, REMEMBER?

HERE, YOU TAKE IT.

SO WE HAVE HIM NOW, AM I CORRECT?

IS THAT THE WAY YOU PICKED IT UP WHEN YOU FOUND IT?

YES, YES, OF COURSE.

I WENT TO MISS DAVENPORT'S OFFICE WHEN I FOUND IT,

BUT SHE WASN'T THERE.

IT'S 7:15.

IT'S A LITTLE EARLY, KIKI.

IT'S A WONDERFUL MORNING.

SO WHAT TIME IS YOUR HEARING?

11:30.

OKAY, WE'LL TAKE THIS TO FORENSICS.

VERY GOOD.

YEAH, IF WE CAN GET A PRINT OFF IT NOW.

YES.

WHAT HE'S SAYING IS MAYBE BECAUSE THE WAY YOU...

- YES. - YOU HELD IT.

NEVER MIND.

WE'LL SEE YOU THERE.

THANK YOU!

CHIEF!

SEE YOU AT THREE TODAY, HUH?

I'LL NEED A RAIN CHECK, RAY.

THIS FISK THING YESTERDAY.

HOW MANY PICTURES DO YOU SUPPOSE THOSE MEDIA FLACKS

TOOK YESTERDAY, FRANK, HUH?

HIGH HUNDREDS?

SEE WHAT THEY PUT ON THE FRONT PAGE?

DANIELS ON THE SCENE.

LOOK AT THE LOOK ON MY PUSS.

A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE.

THE MAN IS NOW POSITIONED TO BLOW ME COMPLETELY

OUT OF THE WATER.

THE OVERNIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DISCOURAGING.

THERE'S A TREMENDOUS SWING IN THE UNDECIDEDS TOWARDS FISK,

EROSION OF THE CHIEF SUPPORT AMONG LIBERALS.

FISK.

GET SOME LITTLE COCKROACH HOLDING A GUN TO HIS HEAD,

HE ENDS UP A URBAN MESSIAH.

GIVE ME A HINT, CHIEF.

FISK IS ABOUT TO MOVE BACK INTO THAT APARTMENT.

THE AIR TIME COULD TURN THIS INTO A ROUT.

NOW, THAT APARTMENT IS STILL A CRIME SCENE.

POLICE LINES CAME DOWN TWO HOURS AGO.

I WANT HIM KEPT OUT OF THERE.

PUT THE LINES BACK UP.

GET SOME MORE DETAILED FORENSICS.

LAB UNIT FINISHED AT 9:00 LAST NIGHT.

IF THOSE LINES GO BACK UP,

IT'LL BE SEEN AS DELIBERATE OBSTRUCTION.

GREAT!

LET HIM BACK IN.

THEN, NO DOUBT, THE MADONNA WILL APPEAR ON THE APARTMENT WALL.

I'LL RESCHEDULE, RAY.

I'M JUST UNDER THE GUN RIGHT NOW.

- WHEN? - WHEN WHAT?

WHEN WILL YOU RESCHEDULE?

SOON, RAY, SOON!

DON'T BE A PAIN IN THE BUTT, WILL YOU, PLEASE?

LOOK, WE'LL DO IT BY THE END OF THE WEEK.

I PROMISE.

SERGEANT ESTERHAUS.

WELL, HELLO, FAY.

NO, HENRY... IT'S NOT TIME, IS IT?

YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN?

AT THE VERY FIRST CONTRACTION,

YOU JUST SOUND THAT BEEPER, AND HENRY WILL BE THERE.

IF I WEREN'T CHAINED TO THE DESK, I'D BE THERE TOO.

WELL, THAT'S KIND OF YOU TO SAY.

JUST KEEP CALM, AND IT'S SMOOTH SAILING ALL THE WAY.

HELLO, FRANCIS.

HOW IS SHE?

OH, SHE'S FINE... JUST CHECKING IN.

THANKS, PHIL.

SOMETHING I CAN HELP YOU WITH, SIR?

"THE SECOND TIME AROUND."

CATCHY.

WHEN'S YOUR LECTURE START?

11:00.

NO PROBLEMS ADDRESSING GROUPS, I HOPE.

I DON'T KNOW, SIR.

I NEVER DID IT BEFORE.

THEN THIS COULD BE A BRAND-NEW START FOR YOU, BELKER.

COMMUNITY RELATIONS.

A WHOLE NEW FUTURE IN THE DEPARTMENT.

HEY, LESTER!

KNOW I HAD SOME CHANGE HERE.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW?

I KNOW I HAVE IT.

GIVE ME THE BUCK.

WELL, I WANTED TO GET RID OF THIS...

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, HERE!

WHAT'S THAT FOR?

I PAID FOR IT... GO ON, MAN!

TAKE IT EASY, MY FRIEND.

YOU'LL GIVE YOURSELF AN ULCER.

WHERE'S THE GAME, LESTER?

HOTEL LORRAINE, ROOM 203.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!

GOTTA GIVE 'EM THIS.

ALL RIGHT, THANKS.

60!

GOT A TICKET FOR ME, COUSIN?

- I LOST IT. - YEAH, WELL, WHO SENT YOU?

SAM COOKE... BOBBY!

- INVITE ONLY. - BOBBY!

LISTEN, THAT GUY IS A FRIEND OF MINE IN THERE, OKAY?

CAN I JUST GO IN AND TALK TO HIM?

BOBBY, WOULD YOU PLEASE TELL THIS GUY

TO LET ME COME IN THERE AND TALK TO YOU FOR A MINUTE?

GO AWAY, RENKO!

SIX!

WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT, MAN?

LOOK, YOUR BUDDY'S BUSY, COUS.

I'M GOING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING RIGHT NOW.

YOU SEE THIS RIGHT HERE? I'M A POLICE OFFICER.

I AM OFF-DUTY AND OUT OF PRECINCT.

IF ME AND MY BUDDY AREN'T OUT OF HERE IN 30 SECONDS,

I'M GONNA BUST THIS GAME, YOU GOT IT?

- COME ON, MAN, COME ON. - EASY, COUS.

DO I LOOK LIKE YOUR COUSIN?

HEY!

STEPPIN' OUT OF LINE A WAYS.

ARE WE GOING TO SHOOT OR WHAT?

NEW SHOOTER COMING.

WE GOT NO PROBLEM, OFFICERS.

WHY DON'T YOU GO SPEAK TO THIS FELLA?

- HE'S NOT WITH ME, MAN. - I AM TOO WITH HIM.

LOOK, I'M ALREADY OUT OF THREE GRAND, MAN.

- WE'LL LEAVE NOW. - WE'LL BE HERE

IF YOU DON'T GET US SHUT DOWN.

- HOW 'BOUT LET'S TAKE... - COME ON, MAN!

NEW SHOOTER COMING OUT.

PLAY THE COMBO, PLAY THE PASS, PLAY THE FIELD.

ROLL 'EM AND DOLE 'EM.

- NOW TALK. - NO, NO.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO?

YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO TALK, SO LET'S TALK, DAMN IT.

I WANT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.

YOU AND ME ARE GOING BACK TO YOUR CRIB,

AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A CONVERSATION.

YOU CAN COME PEACEFUL OR OTHERWISE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN OTHERWISE?

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU CAN MAKE IT STICK?

MAYBE I CAN, MAYBE I CAN'T.

THEN WILL YOU LEAVE ME ALONE?

YEAH, WE'LL SEE.

WE'LL SEE AFTER WE TALK.

WHAT? WHAT?

OKAY, TELL ME WHAT'S HAPPENING, ROBERT,

BECAUSE I DO NOT RECOGNIZE YOU.

YOU ARE TURNIN' INTO SOMEONE THAT I DO NOT RECOGNIZE ANYMORE.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT'S HAPPENING.

I'M O.D. BEHIND PEOPLE ON MY CASE AND SITTING IN JUDGMENT!

I AM NOT SITTING IN JUDGMENT ON YOU!

WHAT DO YOU CALL IT?

YOU'RE SCARING ME, MAN!

I'VE SEEN YOU GAMBLING,

I'VE SEEN YOU OUT THERE MESSING AROUND WITH THOSE WOMEN.

THE WAY YOU TREATED JOE COFFEY THIS MORNING.

WHAT'S IT TO YOU?

WHAT'S IT TO YOU?

YOU ARE MY FRIEND.

I FIGURE YOU GOT SOME KIND OF FEVER, AND I SHOULD

JUST SIT HERE WITH YOU WHILE IT GOES BY.

YOU SHOULD JUST LEAVE ME ALONE.

JUST LET ME DO WHAT I WANT TO DO.

IS THAT IT?

THAT'S IT.

YOU SEEM LIKE YOU'RE ALL CHEWED UP.

IT'S MY OWN SITUATION.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE.

YOU AND ME ARE BUDDIES, WE...

HERE'S WHERE A FRIEND JUST WALKS AWAY, RENKO.

IF YOU'RE MY FRIEND, RENKO, YOU'LL JUST LET ME BE.

WHAT, SO YOU CAN BLOW

ALL THE REST OF THE MONEY IN OLYMPIC RECORD TIME?

SO WHAT?

YOU GOT YOURS.

TWICE.

HERE.

KEEP IT.

YOU'RE A REAL HIGH ROLLER, BOBBY.

LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE WILLING TO GAMBLE JUST ABOUT ANYTHING.

YOU MADE NO THREATENING GESTURE WHATSOEVER

AT MR. CHABUNDI WHILE YOU WERE SEATED

IN THE BACKSEAT OF HIS CAB?

NONE OF ANY KIND.

YOU DIDN'T MENACE HIM WITH A KNIFE?

NOPE.

IN OTHER WORDS, MR. CHABUNDI SHOT YOU

UTTERLY WITHOUT PROVOCATION?

UH-HUH.

NO FURTHER QUESTIONS, YOUR HONOR.

ANYONE ELSE, MS. D.A.?

NO ONE, YOUR HONOR.

YOU'RE EXCUSED, MR. ELDRIDGE.

COUNSEL, APPROACH.

LET'S GET RID OF THIS ONE, PEOPLE.

THAT KNIFE HE BROUGHT IN MAY BE WORTHLESS,

BUT THE DEFENDANT HAS A CLEAN RECORD.

HE'S A STUDENT.

EVEN IF WE ACCEPT MR. ELDRIDGE'S VERSION,

WHICH, I MUST SAY, STRAINS CREDIBILITY SOMEWHAT.

HE INSISTS THAT THE ATTACK WAS UNPROVOKED, YOUR HONOR.

HE ALSO HAS A SHEET OF ROB ASSAULTS WHICH JIBES

WITH THE DEFENDANT'S VERSION OF THE PRISON INCIDENT.

I SEE NO MORE THAN A MINOR MISDEMEANOR HERE.

TALK TO YOUR CLIENT, MISS DAVENPORT.

WHAT KIND OF MISDEMEANOR ARE WE DISCUSSING?

WHAT'LL HE TAKE?

HOW ABOUT, UH, UNLAWFUL DISCHARGE

WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS?

THAT'S A $27 FINE, YOUR HONOR.

LET ME CONFER.

KIKI, THE JUDGE WILL AGREE

TO JUST LET YOU OFF WITH A MISDEMEANOR.

- IT'S A $27... - NO, NO.

NO, WHAT OF IMMIGRATION?

WHAT OF THE TAXI BOARD?

- JUST WAIT... - NO, NO, I MUSTN'T!

MISS DAVENPORT?

UH, YOUR HONOR, CAN WE GET A BRIEF RECESS?

IT IS NOT THE INTENTION OF THIS COURT

TO COERCE A PLEA FROM ANYONE.

I GATHER THE DEFENDANT PREFERS TRIAL ON CURRENT CHARGE?

- I THINK IF... - YES, I AM INNOCENT.

HOLD FOR GRAND JURY.

SETTLE ON DATE.

DEFENDANT REMAINS FREE ON HIS OWN RECOGNIZANCE.

NEXT CASE.

203-518.

HOCHBERG.

KIKI, LISTEN.

YOU SAID YOU TRUSTED THAT I WAS LOOKING AFTER

YOUR BEST INTERESTS.

DO YOU STILL BELIEVE THAT?

YES, I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE.

WHAT THE JUDGE WAS OFFERING YOU WAS FAIR.

IT'S PREFERABLE TO A TRIAL.

OH, I SEE.

I SIMPLY PLEAD GUILTY.

IF YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT IMMIGRATION,

THE JUDGE WON'T WRITE A LETTER.

I WILL.

MISS DAVENPORT, YOU UNDERSTAND WITH YOUR UNDERSTANDING.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

I AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR EFFORTS ON MY BEHALF,

BUT MR. ELDRIDGE SHOULD TELL THE TRUTH.

I WOULDN'T HOLD YOUR BREATH WAITING FOR THAT.

PLEASE THINK ABOUT IT OVERNIGHT.

WE CAN STILL CHANGE OUR PLEA.

THANK YOU, MISS DAVENPORT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SO YOU COULD EITHER GO FROM HERE TO HERE

OR FROM HERE TO HERE.

ALL RIGHT, "STEP THREE: THE GUN.

"IF THE PERPETRATOR IS ARMED WITH A PISTOL

"OR OTHER FIREARM,

"THE MOST IMPORTANT FIRST RESPONSE IS TO REMAIN...

CALM."

"FOLLOW THE PERPETRATORS' DEMANDS QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY.

"DO NOT DO ANYTHING TO UPSET HIM,

ESPECIALLY IF YOU SUSPECT HE MAY BE..."

MAY BE WHAT?

- MAY BE WHAT? - ON DRUGS.

YOU ARE TELLING US HOW TO GIVE THEM OUR MONEY!

WE WANT TO KNOW HOW TO STOP THEM!

THAT'S RIGHT, YEAH!

YOU HAVE TO LET US HANDLE THE ARRESTS.

TWO DAYS AGO, I AM ROBBED.

I CALL THE POLICE.

WHILE I'M WAITING FOR THEM TO COME IN,

THE ROBBER COMES BACK AND BEATS ME UP.

BY THE TIME THEY COME IN, HE'S LONG GONE!

THAT'S HOW MUCH HELP THE POLICE ARE!

IT USED TO BE THE COP WALKED THE BEAT ON MY STREET.

NOW ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS RIDE AROUND...

WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH COPS FOR THAT ANYMORE!

WHAT IT IS, IS YOU DON'T CARE!

YOU WANT TO RIDE AROUND IN CARS SO YOU CAN SLEEP IN THE BACK!

NOW, THAT'S NOT TRUE!

I'VE BEEN ROBBED THREE TIMES BY THE SAME HOODLUM.

HE KNOWS THE POLICE WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO STOP HIM!

YOU THINK IT'S OUR FAULT?

WELL, WHOSE IS IT?

A BUNCH OF POLITICIANS STARTED PLAYING FOOTBALL

WITH THIS DEPARTMENT.

A BUNCH OF BUREAUCRATS WOULD RATHER SEE US CHAINED TO DESKS

THAN OUT ON THE STREET WHERE WE BELONG!

AND IF YOU DON'T THINK I'M TELLING THE TRUTH,

WHY THE HELL AM I STANDING HERE TALKING TO YOU

WHEN I SHOULD BE OUT DOING MY JOB?

WAIT A MINUTE!

- YOU THINK I WANNA DO THIS? - MICK...

YOU THINK I ENJOY FEELING LIKE A JERK?!

MICK.

I'M TALKING TO THEM!

NO, THAT'S ENOUGH NOW.

LIEUTENANT CALLETANO WILL FINISH.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?

I'M GOING NUTS... I MEAN IT.

- I'M CLIMBING THE WALLS HERE. - MICK...

SOME SUIT COMES ALONG, KICKS ME OUT.

- NOBODY BACKS ME UP! - THAT'S NOT TRUE.

14 YEARS I PUT IN DON'T COUNT FOR DIRT!

LOOK, I KNOW IT'S...

I GOTTA GET BACK ON THE STREET.

NO, YOU'LL GET HANGED.

MAYBE THEY DON'T CARE ANYMORE.

MAYBE IT'S NOT WORTH IT.

I CAN'T ANSWER THAT, MICK.

IT'S YOUR CAREER, NOT MINE.

BUT IF I WERE YOU, I'D SIT.

SAY, MAN.

HANG ON JUST A SECOND.

MR. CONCORDI.

COME ON, BABY, COME ON... EASY EIGHT.

HEY, HOW YOU DOING?

LOOK, I'M GONNA HAVE TO DO SOMETHING HERE.

PLEASE ACCEPT THE APOLOGY, HUH?

NOW, PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR THE CIRCUMSTANCES.

I UNDERSTAND.

YOU HEAR SOMEBODY'S A COP, YOU GOTTA LOOK FOR A WIRE.

IT'S OKAY, UM...

CAN I GO GET SOME MORE DICE?

ABSOLUTELY.

LET'S GO.

COME DOWN, COME DOWN.

LOOK, I'M GOING TO CALL YOU JOE, ALL RIGHT?

THAT ISN'T YOUR REAL NAME, IS IT?

- NO. - ALL RIGHT.

SO I'LL JUST CALL YOU JOE.

NOW, LOOK, ANYTHING YOU WANT, YOU JUST HOLLER.

JUST LET 'EM KNOW, ALL RIGHT?

- YEAH, THANKS. - GO GET 'EM NOW.

MAKE EIGHT GOOD PASSES, HUH?

MONEY PLAYER.

MAKE SOME ROOM, BOYS.

WANNA SHOOT 'EM, SIR?

- YEAH. - GOTTA PLACE A BET FIRST.

HERE THEY COME, HERE THEY ROLL.

- WATCH 'EM. - COME ON, BABY, COME ON!

MOCHA JAVA, HENRY?

NO THANKS.

LISTEN.

ABOUT YESTERDAY, OLD SPORT.

MY APOLOGIZES FOR WHATEVER PART I MIGHT HAVE

INADVERTENTLY PLAYED IN CAUSING HARSH WORDS BETWEEN US.

FORGET IT.

OF COURSE, I DON'T BELIEVE I WAS EXCLUSIVELY AT FAULT.

I'M SURE I WAS AT FAULT TOO, HOWARD, YOU SEE,

BUT RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE ON MY "B" LIST FOR APOLOGIZES.

ABOUT TO PUT A KID IN POTTER'S FIELD HAS FIRST CALL.

YOUNG RUIZ.

OH...

I DON'T SEE THAT YOU BEHAVED OTHER THAN RESPONSIBLY, HENRY.

YOU WOULDN'T.

HEY... I'M JUST IN A BAD MOOD TODAY.

AFTER I PLAY JUDAS, IT ALWAYS TAKES ME 24 HOURS

TO FEEL CHIPPER AGAIN.

EXCUSE US, VALENTINE!

COUNCILMAN FISK IS HERE, LIEUTENANT.

IT'S ALL RIGHT, IT'S ALL RIGHT.

GENTLEMEN.

MORNING, COUNCILMAN.

THE SITUATION SEEMS TO BE WELL IN HAND HERE.

WELL, ALL THINGS CONSIDERED,

I'D SAY YOU DON'T LOOK THE WORSE FOR THE WEAR YOURSELF.

THE WEAR'S ON THE INSIDE.

I'M SEEING SOME PRESS IN A FEW MINUTES,

AND I THOUGHT I SHOULD CHECK IN WITH YOU FIRST.

UM...

UM, WHERE ARE YOU SEEING THEM?

- OH, IN... - IN HIS APARTMENT.

GIVE THEM A LITTLE PHOTO OPPORTUNITY

BEFORE YOU MOVE BACK IN?

THAT'S RIGHT.

EXCUSE ME.

LIEUTENANT GOLDBLUME.

YEAH?

UH, YESTERDAY I STOPPED COUNTING THE TIMES YOU SAVED MY LIFE.

THEY HUSTLED ME OFF TO THE HOSPITAL.

I NEVER GOT TO THANK YOU.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

YOU AND HECTOR CLEARLY HAD SOME HISTORY TOGETHER.

I'M SURE IT WAS VERY, VERY DIFFICULT FOR YOU.

WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE, HENRY,

WOULD YOU GIVE ME A CALL SOMETIME?

I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT ALL THIS.

MAKE SOME SENSE OUT OF IT.

SURE... SOMETIME.

THE PRESS IS HERE, BEN.

WELL...

I'LL, UH, I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

AREN'T PEOPLE GOING TO QUESTION YOUR MOTIVES, COUNCILMAN,

MOVING BACK IN HERE SO QUICKLY?

I ASSUME THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

NOW, MY FEELING IS IF WHAT HAPPENED HERE YESTERDAY

PUTS THE SPOTLIGHT ON ME, BETTER IT SHOULD BE ON HERE.

THIS IS WHAT'S IMPORTANT.

YOU SAID YOU HAVE A NUMBER OF SOCIAL PROGRAMS

THAT YOU'RE PROPOSING.

YOU KNOW, IT'S A FUNNY THING.

I CAME HERE AS A VISITOR.

BASICALLY, I THOUGHT I COULD LEARN.

BUT THE SAD TRUTH IS,

IT WASN'T UNTIL I WAS TRAPPED IN HERE

WITH A GUN TO MY HEAD THAT I HAD THE SLIGHTEST IDEA

WHAT THESE PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE REALLY LIKE.

SURE, I'VE GOT SOME IDEAS.

I'D LIKE TO SEE AN ESCORT SERVICE FOR THE OLDER PEOPLE.

A MILK PROGRAM.

A DOMESTIC ARBITRATION SERVICE.

MR. FISK, AREN'T THESE PROGRAMS SOME OF THE SAME DEMANDS

MADE BY THE MAN WHO HELD YOU HERE HOSTAGE YESTERDAY?

YES, THAT'S RIGHT.

AND I'M PROUD OF IT.

LISTEN, HECTOR RUIZ WAS A CASUALTY LONG BEFORE

HIS BRAINS WERE SPLATTERED AGAINST THESE WALLS YESTERDAY.

I'D HOPE THESE PROGRAMS MIGHT MEMORIALIZE HIS HOPES

FOR HIS COMMUNITY.

BUT, MR. FISK, ISN'T IT A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED THAN JUST...

NO, LISTEN, IT'S NOT COMPLICATED.

THE ONLY THING THAT'S COMPLICATED

IS OUR INABILITY TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

YOU WANT THE WORDS TO EXPLAIN WHY THAT KID DIED YESTERDAY?

LOOK AROUND YOU.

THIS IS ELOQUENT!

A WORLD THAT EVERY DAY CONSPIRES TO DEPRIVE THE PEOPLE

WHO LIVE HERE OF THEIR SIMPLE HUMAN DIGNITY.

CHILDREN GROWING UP HERE.

IT'S AN EXERCISE IN TERROR.

IF THE ELEVATORS DON'T GET YOU,

THEN MAYBE IT'LL BE THE RATS THAT LIVE IN THESE HALLWAYS.

THEY OWN THE PLACE.

LOOK AROUND.

THIS HALLWAY'S A SHOOTING GALLERY.

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS?

WHAT IF YOU FOUND YOUR KID PLAYING WITH THE SYRINGES

HE PICKED UP IN FRONT OF YOUR DOOR?

OR A FEW FLOORS UP HERE, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL

IF YOU FOUND OUT THE GRILLWORK ON THESE WINDOWS

HASN'T BEEN INSPECTED IN OVER...

AAH!

FINE.

MOVE!

MAYDAY!

MAYDAY!

STATION UNDER ATTACK!

ALL UNITS MOVE IN FROM THE PERIMETER!

STATION UNDER ATTACK, I REPEAT... RESPOND!

ALL UNITS, DAMN IT!

AND RED DOG IT, BOY, THIS IS NO DROP DRILL!

- COPY. - GOT A NINER ON THE WAY.

FIRST FOUR UNITS, USE THE SOUTH ENTRY.

FOLLOW UP FROM THE WEST, STANDARD FORMATIONS, AND HURRY!

ALL RIGHT, 43 AND 46 ON APPROACH.

OH, GOD.

ENDORPHINS, HENRY... ORGANICALLY PRODUCED OPIATES.

AND UNDER MASSIVE STRESS, THE CORTEX FLOODS THE SYSTEM.

BELIEVE ME, THAT POOR BASTARD NEVER KNEW WHAT HIT HIM.

I DON'T THINK I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS RIGHT NOW, HOWARD.

FRANK, FRANK, WE HAVE TO ROPE OFF THE FRONT STEPS.

THERE MUST BE A DOZEN PRESS CREWS OUT THERE.

WELL, TELL PHIL TO JUST KEEP THEM OUT THERE.

DANIELS WILL ISSUE A STATEMENT AS SOON AS HE GETS HERE.

ALL RIGHT.

GUESS IT MUST HAVE BEEN PRETTY AWFUL, HUH, LIEUTENANT?

OH, IN ALL MY DAYS, LEO.

JUDAS, WE OPENED THE DOOR, AND THERE WAS FISK.

THERE WAS FISK AND THERE WAS FISK.

YOU BELIEVE DANIELS?

SNATCHING VICTORY OUT OF THE JAWS OF DEATH?

I GUESS HE JUST LIVES HIS LIFE RIGHT, HUH?

WORST WAY TO GO I CAN THINK OF.

IF YOU ASK ME, THE WORST WAY WOULD TO BE

EATEN BY A LION AND HAVE TO SIT THERE AND WATCH

WHILE HE CHEWED CHUNKS OF FLESH OUT OF YOUR BODY.

THAT'S BAD, THAT'S BAD.

- NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT. - YEAH, BUT WAIT A MINUTE.

WHAT IF YOU'RE HOME ALL ALONE,

AND YOU CHOKE ON A SANDWICH, YOU SEE?

AND NOBODY'S THERE TO HELP YOU.

IMAGINE SLIDING DOWN A BANISTER.

TURNS OUT TO BE A GIGANTIC RAZOR BLADE,

AND YOU LAND IN A VAT OF IODINE.

CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT MUST HAVE GONE ON IN HIS MIND

ON THE WAY DOWN?

I CAN'T GET THAT OUT OF MY HEAD.

BET HE WAS THINKING ABOUT FOOD.

- WHAT? - FOOD?

HE KNEW HE'D NEVER EAT AGAIN.

WILL YOU SHUT UP?

WILL YOU JUST SHUT UP ABOUT IT?

CAN I TALK TO YOU FOR A SECOND?

SO TALK.

SO EVER SINCE WE GOT WORD ON THE SERGEANT'S EXAM,

YOU BEEN ACTING LIKE A FOUR-YEAR-OLD.

AND?

AND CUT IT OUT.

DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GONNA HAVE TO GET PROMOTED

OR CROAK AHEAD OF ME?

HOW HARD DID YOU STUDY?

WHAT?

HOW HARD DID YOU STUDY?

I WORKED MY BUTT OFF TO PASS THE EXAM.

- HOW HARD? - I STUDIED.

YEAH, YOU STUDIED, ALL RIGHT.

YOU STUDIED "FUN WITH TWINS," THAT'S WHAT YOU STUDIED.

- WAIT A MINUTE... - YOU KNOW SOMETHING?

YOU ARE A GREAT GUY, JOE.

YOU'RE MY PARTNER, AND I LOVE YOU, BUT I'M TIRED.

YOU'RE GETTING ALONG ON THIS SWEET SMILE AND MUSCLES STUFF,

AND NOW YOU'RE FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELF,

AND YOU'RE DOING A NUMBER ON ME,

AND I GOT NO PATIENCE FOR THAT.

- HOLD ON A MINUTE... - YOU... NO!

NO SYMPATHY, JOSEPH.

I OFFERED TO STUDY WITH YOU HOW MANY TIMES?

THREE, FOUR TIMES... YOU TURNED ME DOWN.

JUST KNOCK IT OFF, THAT'S ALL.

I KNOW YOU'RE MAD AT BOBBY HILL.

JUST DON'T TAKE IT OUT ON ME.

THAT'S IT.

FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN SUFFOCATING.

CAN'T GET ANY AIR.

FEEL ANY BETTER?

BEEN ANGRY WITH YOU, FRANK.

I KNOW.

GANGS, ELECTION.

FELT LIKE YOU CLIMBED INTO A SHELL

AND MADE EVERYBODY'S CHOICES FOR THEM.

I DON'T DISAGREE WITH YOU, HARRY.

BUT I'D ASK YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT...

THAT EVERY BOSS I HAVE HAS HAD HIS HANDS

IN THE WHEELS AND, UH...

WELL, IT'S, UH, IT'S NOT EASY TO...

I PROBABLY OVERREACTED, AND I HAVEN'T DELEGATED.

- AND IT'S COST US. - NO ARGUMENT.

SO I'VE GOT A GRIEVANCE.

I MEAN, I'VE BEEN NURSING THIS LIKE A SICK FLOWER.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH ME.

I FEEL LIKE HELL.

IT OCCURS TO ME, HENRY, THAT, UH,

A MAN WITH YOUR KIND OF STRONG FAMILY FEELING,

SEPARATED FROM RACHEL AND JOSH

AND TRYING TO HELP FAY GET READY FOR A BABY

MIGHT NOT BE THE EASIEST THING IN THE WORLD...

IT'S THE ONLY THING I ENJOY.

I UNDERSTAND, BUT IT MIGHT, UH, I MEAN, IT MIGHT OPEN UP...

HOW EMPTY MY LIFE IS?

WHAT A TOUGH TIME YOU'RE IN.

IT'S TWO YEARS, FRANK.

THINK THAT STILL QUALIFIES AS A PHASE?

HENRY...

UH-HUH?

I REALLY HOPE THINGS GET BETTER.

THANKS.

UH-HUH, SURE.

I WILL.

I'M GONNA BE STRAIGHT WITH YOU, FRANK.

TO BE THE BENEFICIARY OF THIS KIND OF MISFORTUNE

IS A DREADFUL STROKE.

AGREED.

THIS PRECINCT IS THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE

FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

ANYTHING WE CAN DO FOR HIS FAMILY?

ANYTHING AT ALL I CAN DO FOR YOU?

I WANT A MEETING WITH YOU AND MAHONEY.

I'M SURE WE CAN FIND THE TIME.

I WANT HIM OFF MY BACK TODAY.

ALL RIGHT, FRANK.

THE OFFICE WILL CONTACT HIM

AND WE'LL MEET BACK HERE AT, SAY, UH, 5:00.

- HOW'S THAT? - THAT'S FINE.

GOOD.

WELL, I'VE GOT TO GIVE MY STATEMENT.

YOU KNOW, YOU WAKE UP ON A DAY LIKE THIS,

YOU'VE GOT A SCHEDULE OF EVENTS STRUNG OUT IN FRONT OF YOU.

WE'RE NEVER PROMISED TOMORROW, MY FRIEND.

WELL, I GUESS I BETTER GET OUT THERE AND SQUELCH THE RUMORS

MY GUYS HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH LOOSENING THOSE BOLTS.

THAT'S A JOKE, FRANK.

SEVEN, NO SIX, SEVEN OUT, LINE AWAY.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT... GUY BUSTING ME ON EVERY ROLL.

HEY, AIN'T NOBODY TRYING TO LOSE, PAL.

JUST SEEMS LIKE A TALENT YOU GOT, THAT'S ALL.

HOW'S IT GOING, HOW'S IT GOING... HMM?

- NO GOOD. - WELL, TAKE A BREAK.

LET HIM TURN AROUND. COME ON.

YOU WANT A MEAL OR SOMETHING?

YOU WANT SOME COMPANY?

HMM?

NO.

PUT THOSE BETS DOWN.

IF I WANTED, COULD I GET SOME CREDIT?

SURE, WE'LL SET YOU UP WITH A LINE.

I GOT THE MONEY... THE BANK'S JUST CLOSED.

NO PROBLEM... WE SET YOU UP WITH A LINE.

LET ME GET YOUR REAL NAME, A COUPLE OF REFERENCES.

- HOW'S THAT? - YEAH, OKAY.

ALL RIGHT, SO YOU GIVE ME YOUR REAL NAME.

LOOK, I'LL GET YOU THE MONEY AS SOON AS THE BANK OPENS.

YOU SEE, I'M SURE YOU'RE GOOD FOR IT.

BUT YOU GOTTA GIVE ME YOUR NAME.

JUST LET ME PLAY, I'LL PAY YOU BACK.

YOU GOTTA GIVE ME YOUR NAME.

WELL, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

NO, SIR.

NO, SIR!

NO!

I GOT TIRED OF SQUATTING OUT IN THE HALL,

SO I PICKED THE LOCK.

YOU WERE PRETTY SURE I WAS GONNA COME HOME.

HAD A HUNCH.

SO HOW'D IT GO?

IT WENT.

ALL OF IT?

$30,000 LEFT.

I'M GONNA PAY A YEAR'S MORTGAGE IN ST. LOUIS

ON MY MOTHER'S HOUSE, AND THEN I'LL, UH,

I'M GONNA BUY A CAR.

ONE DAY AT A TIME, MAN, WHAT CAN YOU DO?

BOBBY, LET ME HELP YOU.

I CAN HELP YOU.

UHH, MAN, I GOT THIS MYSELF, COWBOY.

NO ONE CAN.

I GOTTA TRY.

EVER SINCE I... I WON THIS MONEY,

I'VE HAD DREAMS, I'VE...

I'VE NIGHTMARES WHERE I... I BLOW UP.

I'M GONNA EXPLODE.

I ALWAYS PROMISED MYSELF

THAT I WOULD ACCEPT MY RESPONSIBILITIES AND NEVER,

NEVER WANT FOR ANYTHING I COULDN'T HAVE.

IT... UM...

I HATED MY DADDY.

HE WAS A LOOSE MAN.

HE NEVER CARED ABOUT ANYONE.

BUT I... I LIKE PEOPLE.

I LIKE... I LIKE YOU, AND...

I LIKE YOU TOO.

I... I DIDN'T WANT TO BE LOOSE AND...

BUT IT SEEMS THAT I...

I... I ALWAYS HAVE TO HOLD MYSELF SO TIGHT,

AND IT JUST SEEMS A LOOSE MAN'S CONTROLLING MY MIND.

AND I... IF I WANT TO BE GOOD, I GOTTA...

I GOTTA BE CAREFUL AND...

IF I WANT TO BE GOOD.

BOBBY, I DON'T QUITE FOLLOW YOU.

A MAN WITH MONEY AND FREEDOM IS...

IS LOOSE IN MY MIND AND... HE JUST...

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LOOSE.

I DON'T WANT TO BE CRUEL.

I KNOW YOU DON'T.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE.

ALL RIGHT.

HERE, THIS IS YOURS.

I DON'T NEED THAT.

KEEP IT.

FROM A FRIEND.

WELL...

THAT'S PRETTY LOOSE, ROBERT.

BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S SO CRUEL.

I DON'T KNOW, MAN, I JUST, YOU...

I WAS... IT WAS LIKE,

A MONSTER WAS LOOSE.

ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT.

HEY, OFFICER COFFEY.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I'M A LITTLE UPSET, JOE.

THE GIRLS TELL ME YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SEE THEM

AGAIN TONIGHT.

WE HAD A CONVERSATION.

UNLESS, OF COURSE, BOBBY HILL MAKES A BID.

HEY, MAYBE YOUR FRIEND WAS A LITTLE VULGAR,

BUT HE HAD THE RIGHT IDEA.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

I'M TALKING GROCERIES, I'M TALKING RENT,

I'M TALKING WARDROBE AND MAKEUP AND DRY CLEANING.

I'M TALKING A PERSONAL FINANCIAL RELATIONSHIP, JOE,

BECAUSE THESE GIRLS HAVE THEIR CAREERS TO THINK ABOUT.

HEY, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

IF I WANT TO SEE 'EM, I'M GOING TO SEE 'EM.

NO, NO, YOU WANT TO SEE THEM, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE ME.

YEAH, RIGHT.

BELIEVE IT, PAL.

DO THEY KNOW YOU'RE DOING THIS?

I GOT NO SECRETS FROM THESE GIRLS.

YOU KNOW, THEY LIKE ME.

THEY ARE ACTRESSES, MY FRIEND.

HEARTS OF GOLD, THEY DON'T NEED.

YOU DON'T WANT TO HELP US OUT, FINE, WE'LL PART AS FRIENDS.

YOU LITTLE PIMP.

IT WAS A DREAM YOU HAD ONE NIGHT, JOE.

HOW MANY GUYS CAN SAY THAT?

YOU STAY CLEAR NOW.

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING.

BATES, COFFEY!

DAMN, DISTURBANCE AT 116TH AND DECKER AVENUE.

MAN WITH A WEAPON.

JOE...

LITTLE HAMMER ACTION... KID'S GOT A SWING.

HE CAN MAKE THE MAJORS IN ABOUT 30 YEARS.

HE'S OVER THERE.

FOUR KIDS FREAKED OUT.

I TELL HIM.

I TELL HIM PLEASE, PLEASE TO SAY THE TRUTH.

I'M VERY NICE TO HIM.

I DON'T WANT TO START THE FIGHTING.

I TELL HIM TO SAY IT.

ALL RIGHT, LOOK, KIKI,

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO COME WITH US, ALL RIGHT?

I'M SORRY.

VERY SORRY, I'M SORRY!

I'M SORRY!

I'M SO SORRY, I'M SORRY!

"AT APPROXIMATELY 2:45 THIS AFTERNOON,

"I WENT TO THE APARTMENT OF JAY ELDRIDGE

"TO MAKE MR. ELDRIDGE SAY OF USING A KNIFE

"AND ATTEMPTING TO ROB MY CAB,

"AND THIS HAD BEEN ALL MY REASON

"FOR ATTEMPTING TO DEFEND MYSELF.

"MR. ELDRIDGE GAVE NO CARE OF MY REQUEST

"OR MY IMMIGRATION SITUATION.

"IF HE REFUSED TO COME WITH THE TRUTH,

"IN LOSING MY MEANS OF SUPPORT.

"I ASKED HIM ON EVERY GROUND AND WHAT I REGRET,

"I ASSAULTED HIM WITH MY FISTS

"AND WITH THE HAMMER OF HIS APARTMENT,

"WHICH HE HAD THROWN AT ME.

I STRUCK HIM IN THE EYE..."

ID HE GET MIRANDA?

AT THE SCENE.

SHOULD I CONTINUE?

"AND HE STAGGERED AND WENT DOWN."

IN YOUR ZEAL TO PROTECT ME, DENNIS,

WHICH, NEEDLESS TO SAY, I DEEPLY APPRECIATE,

I THINK YOU MAY HAVE PUT A FEW NOSES OUT OF JOINT UP HERE.

HE HAS THREE OF MY MEN UP ON CHARGES.

NOW, FRANK FURILLO HAS A UNIQUE SITUATION.

THE HILL IS A PRECINCT WITH UNIQUE PROBLEMS.

IT TAKES A PARTICULAR KIND OF PERSONALITY,

NOT JUST IN A CAPTAIN,

BUT IN THE MEN UNDER HIS COMMAND.

WITH REGARD TO THE DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS YOU'VE INITIATED

AGAINST DETECTIVES LARUE AND WASHINGTON...

SERGEANT BELKER.

AND SERGEANT BELKER, I THINK THAT EVERYONE'S

BEST INTEREST WOULD BE SERVED IF THOSE CHARGES

FELL BETWEEN THE CRACKS.

NO PROBLEM HERE.

AS WELL AS THE INSUBORDINATION CHARGES

AGAINST THE CAPTAIN HIMSELF.

RIGHT INTO THE SHREDDER.

I'M DELIGHTED.

FOR YOUR PART, FRANK,

DEPUTY CHIEF MAHONEY IS A FACT OF YOUR LIFE.

HE'S YOUR SUPERIOR.

AND IF THE FATES ARE KIND TO FLETCHER DANIELS,

HE MAY JUST BE A LITTLE MORE SUPERIOR IN A FEW WEEKS.

YOU'D BEST LEARN TO LIVE WITH HIM.

YOU MIGHT EVEN TRY TO LEARN FROM HIM.

WELL, DID ANYONE SEND OUT FOR A PEACE PIPE?

THEN THIS WILL HAVE TO DO.

EXCUSE ME, GENTLEMEN.

CHIEF, THE "TELEGRAM" IS ON THE PHONE.

THEY'D LIKE YOUR STATEMENT.

THANK YOU.

NOW IF YOU FELLOWS WILL LET ME GET OUT OF HERE.

HOW THE HELL DO YOU KEEP FROM SEEMING GHOULISH

IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS?

IT'S JUST TRAGIC.

WE ALL SQUARE, FRANK?

AH, SEEMS TO BE FOR NOW.

COURSE, IF I DO BECOME CHIEF, IF THE FATES ARE KIND,

EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN STYLE AND STANDARDS, FRANK.

I'D EXPECT YOU TO COME UP TO MINE.

I'M BUSY RIGHT NOW, DENNIS.

I GUESS I'D INSIST ON IT.

WOULD YOU LEAVE IT OPEN, PLEASE?

I SHARE THE PAIN OF THIS ENTIRE CITY.

TODAY, WE HAVE LOST A CHAMPION.

UH, I'LL CALL YOU BACK LATER.

THE CHARGES HAVE BEEN DROPPED.

THANK YOU.

IF YOU SEE J.D. OR NEIL BEFORE I DO,

TELL THEM THEIR REPRIMANDS HAVE BEEN TAKEN

OUT OF THEIR JACKETS.

CAPTAIN, I KNOW I PUT YOU OUT ON THIS.

IN THE FUTURE, I'M GOING TO TRY TO, UH, TO, UH...

WHAT?

WELL, THEY SAY THAT IF CHIEF DANIELS WINS THE ELECTION,

MAHONEY'S GONNA BE THE NEW CHIEF.

MICK, LOOK, YOU STILL HAVE TO BE YOUR OWN KIND OF COP.

YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW YOUR OWN INSTINCTS.

I MEAN, I'M THE ONE OUT ON THE STREET, CAPTAIN, I...

I NEED BELKER OUT THERE.

WELL, YOU GOT HIM.

FRANCIS, WE HAVE A HOMICIDE.

IT APPEARS GANG RELATED.

EXCUSE ME. HOMICIDE?

CHIEF...

GANG RELATED?

FRANK, YOU TAKE CARE OF THIS PERSONALLY.

YOU SIT ON IT.

I WILL NOT HAVE THIS DAY RUINED!

ANY MORE THAN IT HAS BEEN BY BEN'S TRAGEDY.

FORGIVE ME.

OF COURSE.

FRANCIS, 104TH AND STATE.

MICK.

CAPTAIN.

HOMICIDE.

UH, JOE...

CAN I TALK TO YOU FOR A MINUTE?

UH...

NO EXCUSE FOR LAST NIGHT.

NO EXCUSE FOR WHAT I DID.

YEAH, YOU GOT THAT RIGHT.

I'M SORRY.

WHAT WAS GOING ON?

I HAD A LITTLE VISIT FROM MR. HYDE.

WELL, IS DR. HILL BACK WITH US OR WHAT?

JUST CHECKED IN.

WELL, YOU TELL MR. HYDE

IF HE SHOWS HIS FACE AGAIN, I'M GOING TO CLEAN HIS CLOCK.

YOU GOT IT.

THEY STRIPPED HIS COLORS, FRANK, BUT HE'S A BLOOD.

MURDERED ABOUT AN HOUR AGO AT ANOTHER LOCATION.

DUMPED HERE.

EXCUSE ME.

SEE WHO'S STANDING ACROSS THE STREET?

YEAH, I SAW HIM.

THAT'S HIS HEADQUARTERS.

I AM APPALLED, FRANKIE,

AT HOW PEOPLE CROWD AROUND A THING LIKE THIS.

WE HAD AN UNDERSTANDING, JESUS: NO MORE VIOLENCE.

I GOT A SNEAKY SUSPICION THAT'S THE LAST ONE.

UNTIL THE NEXT ONE.

WELL, YOU KNOW, FRANKIE, I HEARD SOME RUMORS.

I HEARD ALL NEGOTIATIONS ARE FINISHED.

I HEARD DIABLOS GAVE UP A BLOCK, ALL FOUR SIDES OF THEIR TURF.

I HEARD EVERYBODY AGREED NO MORE RIDING IN THEIR CARS AT NIGHT.

THE SIX DEAD STAY DEAD.

NOBODY JOINS THEM.

ONLY NO ONE COULD SHAKE ON THIS

ON ACCOUNT OF ONE PIECE OF UNFINISHED BUSINESS LEFT.

SOMEBODY OWED SOMETHING FOR THE FLOWERS

AT THE LITTLE BOY'S FUNERAL, TU SABE?

THE LITTLE BOY THAT GOT KILLED TWO DAYS AGO.

EVERYBODY AGREED ON THAT, FURILLO.

SO NOW I THINK THE GUY'S PAID UP.

SO I GOT A SNEAKY SUSPICION

THERE'S GOING TO BE PEACE FROM NOW ON.

OF COURSE, IT'S A RUMOR.

I AM GOING TO INVESTIGATE THIS MURDER RIGHT DOWN THE LINE.

AND WHEN WE GET THE PEOPLE WHO DID IT, THEY'RE GOING TO JAIL.

CHARITY.

GOOD LUCK, FRANK.

YO, FRANKIE.

CAN I OFFER YOU A BEER?

- OKAY. - ALL RIGHT, RELAX.

- ALMOST MADE IT THERE. - JUST RELAX.

BREATHE, DON'T FORGET TO BREATHE.

IT'S STARTING, IT'S STARTING!

- CLEANSING BREATH. - CLEANSING BREATH.

AGAIN... OKAY, NOW PUSH.

HARDER.

THE HOME STRETCH, BABE!

YOU GOT IT!

YOU CAN DO IT, YOU CAN DO IT!

A LITTLE BIT MORE.

THERE'S THE HEAD.

COME ON, PUSH.

SHE'S HERE.

THAT'S GOOD.

SHE'S HERE.

SHE'S HERE.

OHH! OH...

OH, YEAH.

WELCOME TO THE CITY.

SHE'S BEAUTIFUL.

LOOK AT HER FACE.

I DID IT.

I DID IT.

OHH!

NOT BAD FOR AN OLD BROAD.

NURSE LANGEL, REPORT TO OB, STAT.

NURSE LANGEL TO OB.

SEVEN POUNDS, SEVEN OUNCES.

OOH, THAT'S A BIG BABY!

THAT'S A BIG BABY!

OHH, OHH.

EVERYBODY'S FINE.

OH, THAT'S WONDERFUL.

THAT'S JUST WONDERFUL.

HERE, HERE, HAVE A CIGAR.

HAVE ONE FOR TOMORROW.

OH, I'M SO HAPPY.

I'M SO HAPPY!

I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING, HENRY.

YEAH.

GOOD NIGHT.

THANK YOU.

IT'S A HEALTHY BABY GIRL.

HOW'S FAY?

HENRY SAID SHE HAD A LITTLE TROUBLE

WITH THE DELIVERY, BUT SHE'S FINE NOW.

SHE'S BRAVE.

MORE THAN SENSIBLE.

I WAS SO PROUD WHEN FRANK JR. WAS BORN.

I WAS STILL DRINKING, BUT IT HAD...

WELL, IT SEEMED FULL OF POSSIBILITIES.

IT'S STILL FULL OF POSSIBILITIES, PIZZA MAN.
