PHIL ESTERHAUS PASSED AWAY THIS MORNING.

PREVIOUSLY ON "HILL STREET BLUES"...

LEO, I GOT COUPLE OF ENTERPRISING YOUNG TVPs

HERE FOR YA.

ABOUT THOSE TWO MISGUIDED YOUTHS,

MAYBE WE CAN DO SOME BUSINESS HERE.

I HAVE TO MAKE MYSELF UNDERSTAND WHY IT HAPPENED.

IF HE HAD BASHED MY FACE IN OR SLASHED MY THROAT,

WOULD THAT MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER?

WOULD THAT HELP YOU UNDERSTAND?

ME, TAKE THE SERGEANT'S PLACE?

THAT'S WHY I RECOMMENDED YOU.

TO THE SARGE.

WE LOVED HIM.

WE GONNA MISS HIM.

GOD BLESS HIM.

ITEM 6, FEBRUARY 4.

ANTICIPATING A BUMP IN SIDEWALK CRIME,

MICK BELKER GOES UNDERCOVER THIS A.M.

AT ROSWELL AND 113.

PILSKY AND PEYSER AS BACKUP.

THIS IS ACTION CORNER FOR THREE-CARD MONTE SCAMS

AND A GROUP OF PICKPOCKETS KNOWN AS THE FUNK FAMILY ROBINSON,

WHOSE SHILL IS BREAK DANCING.

SCORECARD ON JUDGE CRUZ' COURT ORDER

EASING OVERCROWDING IN THE MICHIGAN AVENUE FACILITY

AT THE 24-HOUR MARK.

OF 247 INMATES RELEASED O.R.,

18 HAVE BEEN RE-ARRESTED ON FRESH CHARGES.

30 MORE MISSED THEIR COURT DATES YESTERDAY

AND ARE SUBJECT TO ARREST ON BENCH WARRANTS.

GREAT IDEA, JUDGE.

OUR RING OF TRUCK HIJACKERS

CONTINUES TO ELUDE CAPTURE,

AND THE ZUCCHINI BANDIT IS STILL CIRCULATING.

MALE, WHITE, HEAVYSET, EARLY 30S, BALDING.

SIX REPORTS IN THE LAST FEW DAYS,

WITH TWO OF THE VICTIMS REPORTING THAT WHAT PASSED

FOR A CONCEALED GUN TURNED OUT TO BE A SQUASH

TOSSED IN THEIR PUSS WHEN THE ROBBERY HAD BEEN COMPLETED.

LET'S NAIL HIM.

LET'S BREAD HIM.

BEV, WOULD YOU TELL THE CAPTAIN I'M ALMOST THROUGH.

DURING THE LAST TOLL PERIOD,

THIS PRECINCT SHOWS 213 CALLS TO THE PRERECORDED MESSAGE

KNOWN AS DIAL-A-NYMPH.

PLEASE DESIST FROM WASTING MORE CITY MONEY

ON SUCH X-RATED CALLS.

CAPTAIN TELLS ME THAT FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS

FOR SERGEANT ESTERHAUS ARE STILL PENDING.

YOU'LL BE KEPT APPRISED.

UH, LIEUTENANT, IS THERE A FAMILY WE CAN WRITE TO?

IS THERE SOMEPLACE WE CAN SEND OUR CONDOLENCES?

APPARENTLY NOT... I GUESS WE'RE THE ONLY FAMILY

THE SERGEANT HAD.

CAPTAIN HAS A FINAL ITEM FOR YOU.

GOOD MORNING, FOLKS.

GOOD MORNING, CAPTAIN.

AMONG SERGEANT ESTERHAUS'S EFFECTS

WAS THIS LETTER ADDRESSED TO THE PEACE OFFICERS

OF THE HILL STREET DAY SHIFT.

"PERHAPS YOU THOUGHT YOU'D HEARD THE LAST FROM ME,

"BUT I DESIRE TO TURN YOU OUT ONE LAST TIME

"BEFORE ASSUMING THE DUTIES OF MY NEW ASSIGNMENT.

"THERE, I'M SURE WE'LL ALL BE DOUBLE-SHIFTING TOGETHER AGAIN.

"I HOPE NOT FOR A LONG TIME.

"THE SHEDDING OF CROCODILE TEARS IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.

"HOIST A SHOT OR TWO, IF YOU MUST.

"THEY'LL LOOK THE OTHER WAY, BUT NOT WHEN YOU'RE ON DUTY.

"UM...

LET US NOT FORGET IN THEIR BEREAVEMENT

"THE LOVED ONES OF OUR DEPARTED FELLOWS.

"LOOK IN ON GRACE ONCE IN A WHILE, MY FRIENDS.

"REMAIN MY KIND OF COPS.

"FIND SOMETHING OF WORTH IN EACH PERSON,

"SOMETHING TO CARE FOR IN EACH SITUATION.

"DRESS NEATLY, SPEAK POLITELY.

"YOU HAVE DECLARED YOUR FAITH IN SOCIETY.

"KEEP THAT FAITH.

"IT WILL KEEP YOU.

"THOUGH THE HILL IS GENERALLY CONSIDERED THE WASTE BASKET

"OF THIS CITY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT MINIONS,

"I HAVE FOUND ITS DENIZENS TO BE THE FAIREST,

"MOST COURAGEOUS, AND HARDWORKING

"I'VE BEEN PRIVILEGED TO KNOW.

"GENTLEMEN AND LADIES, IT HAS BEEN A RARE PLEASURE.

"NOW PICK YOUR BUTTS UP AND LET'S ROLL,

"AND REMEMBER, ALWAYS,

LET'S BE CAREFUL OUT THERE."

THE MAN SURE HAD A WAY WITH WORDS.

HE WAS SAYING GOOD-BYE, DON'T GIVE IT A REVIEW.

I'D LIKE TO SEE THE NUN THAT THEY BRING IN TO REPLACE HIM.

THE WHOLE DAY'S A STINK NOW.

HENRY... HOMICIDE.

STATE ASSEMBLY LEADER RENDAZO.

KILL SOMEBODY?

GOT KILLED.

WHERE'S LEO?

- ARRGH. - HERE.

I GOT BODILY FUNCTIONS TOO.

WHAT'S THIS?

SOME MISUNDERSTANDING.

I WAS GOING TO THE PAWN SHOW.

AT 6:00 IN THE MORNING.

WHO'S GOT A WARPED SENSE OF HUMOR?

LEO, IT'S JUST EVIDENCE.

SOMETHING THAT CAME IN WITH THE PERP.

IS THIS, UH, IS THIS HUMOR?

IS THIS A GENERAL BUTT OF JOKES?

- LEO! - OKAY!

MY WIFE'S CHEATIN' ON ME, ALL RIGHT?

SHE'S SEEING THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE MAN!

THERE!

EVERYONE HAPPY?

MY WIFE IS STEPPIN' OUT!

WE ARE THE CUCKOLD.

WE ARE THE FOOL!

WE HAVE A 9-11.

ARMED ROBBERY IN PROGRESS.

C-SURPLUS STORE, CORNER PEEBLES DRIVE AND 124TH STREET.

♪♪

AH, LIEUTENANT.

HEAVYWEIGHT.

ASSEMBLY LEADER RENDAZO.

YEAH, THE GUN'S REGISTERED TO HIM.

SHE SAYS IT DISCHARGED DURING A STRUGGLE.

DON'T THEY ALL.

THERE'S HALF A GRAM OF COKE, SOME PILLS.

NOBODY ELSE WAS AROUND.

SHE MADE THE CALL.

LET'S TRY TO HOLD THE PRESS OFF, OKAY?

I DON'T THINK THIS ONE STAYS QUIET, LIEUTENANT.

MAYBE WE BUY AN HOUR.

WHAT'S HER NAME?

WHITNEY BARNES.

NOT TIFFANY, NOT KIMBERLY...

GOT IT.

THERE YOU GO.

RIGHT, LET'S GET HIM UP ON THERE.

GIVE YOU SOME ROOM... I'LL GET OUT OF YOUR WAY HERE.

ALL RIGHT, READY?

LIEUTENANT GOLDBLUME, MS. BARNES.

THE OTHER GUY ALREADY GAVE ME MY WARNINGS.

THIS WAS AN ACCIDENT?

YES.

I WAS STRUGGLING TO GET THE GUN TO PROTECT MYSELF,

AND THE... THE DOPE IS HIS.

WHOSE TOWNHOUSE IS THIS?

A FRIEND OF MINE.

NAME?

LESTER.

LESTER WHO?

UH... M-MENDLEY. LESTER MENDLEY.

HE'S MY BUSINESS MANAGER.

OKAY.

WE'D LIKE TO GET A STATEMENT FROM YOU AT THE STATION HOUSE.

- OKAY. - LIEUTENANT...

- YES. - LIEUTENANT.

- VIDEO CAMERA. - WHAT?

WE FOUND IT BEHIND A TWO-WAY MIRROR IN THE BEDROOM.

BLACKMAIL, WHITNEY?

I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT, I SWEAR.

I'M NOT A BLACKMAILER, LIEUTENANT.

I'M NOT A KILLER.

OKAY... WE BETTER GO.

FRANK, YOUR MESSAGES.

MRS. SPENCER AT WOHMAN'S BROTHERS MORTUARY

HAS CALLED THREE TIMES.

SHE HAS TO KNOW WHAT YOU PLAN TO DO WITH THE "CREMAINS."

"CREMAINS"?

UH-HUH.

I'LL GIVE HER A CALL.

ALL RIGHT.

LIEUTENANT "CALLETAINO"?

- CALLETANO, YES. - RIGHT.

DON'T LOOK UP, JUST GO ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS.

AL DESJARDINS, GENERAL ACCOUNTING.

- SO?

- WE HAVE A PROBLEM HERE, LIEUTENANT.

OFFICE SUPPLY APPROPRIATIONS FOR THIS PRECINCT

OFF THE BOARD RELATIVE TO DEPARTMENT MEDIAN.

THE COMPUTER FLAGGED IT, AND SO I CORRELATED SOME INVOICES.

LEGAL PADS, 36% OVER.

BALLPOINT PENS, 25% OVER.

THREE-RING BINDERS, 18% OVER.

WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME THIS?

WE'VE GOT A PETTY THIEF UP HERE, LIEUTENANT.

THE COMPUTER KICKED YOU OUT AS AUTHORIZING REQUISITIONS...

- ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT... - THERE ISN'T A FAINTEST SHADOW

OF A SUSPICION ABOUT YOU, LIEUTENANT.

I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I'M ON THE JOB

AND WILL BRING THIS CULPRIT TO GROUND.

THIS IS WHAT YOU DO?

MY COVER IS COMPUTER REPAIR.

I WANT YOU TO NOT EVEN NOTICE THAT I'M HERE, HMM?

- I'LL MANAGE. - THANK YOU.

SORRY I'M LATE, SANDY.

HAVE YOU BEEN WAITING LONG?

NOT TOO BAD.

WELL, LOOK, DID THE D.A. TALK TO YOU YET?

- NO... ABOUT WHAT? - WELL...

- MS. VALPARISO. - MORNING.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE PURPOSE OF THIS HEARING?

- I KNOW WHAT KINDS OF QUESTIONS TO EXPECT.

I CAN HANDLE IT.

THE HEARING IS TO DETERMINE CHARGES.

THERE ARE TWO WAYS WE CAN TAKE YOUR CASE.

I'LL BE VERY STRAIGHT WITH YOU ABOUT EACH.

YOU TELL ME WHICH WAY YOU WANT TO GO.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT, FIRST, WE CAN CHARGE RAPE.

MY SENSE IS THAT, GIVEN THE FACTUAL SETTING,

OUR CHANCES FOR CONVICTION ARE NO BETTER THAN 50/50.

"NO SIGNS OF A STRUGGLE, NO RECOVERED WEAP..."

RIGHT, "NO CUTS OR BRUISES."

FORTUNATELY.

"NO RECOVERED WEAPON.

PRIOR ACQUAINTANCE WITH THE ACCUSED."

I DON'T KNOW HIM.

WE ONCE WORKED IN THE SAME PLACE.

WHICH, HOWEVER TENUOUS

AND ULTIMATELY IRRELEVANT,

MAKES RAPE A TOUGHER SELL.

THE SECOND ALTERNATIVE:

HE HAS A HISTORY OF ROBBERIES AND BREAK-INS.

WE CAN GET HIM TO PLEAD ON THAT

AND PUT HIM AWAY FOR SURE.

FOR SURE?

HE SPENT ONE NIGHT IN JAIL AFTER HIS LAST ROBBERY,

AND THEN HE WAS OUT, AND HE RAPED ME.

HEY, THAT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

HE GOES FOR THREE YEARS OR WE DO NOT MAKE A DEAL.

AND IF WE GO TO TRIAL ON THE RAPE?

AND WIN?

FIVE TO SEVEN YEARS.

AND HE'S BACK OUT ON THE STREET

IN THREE, MAX.

SO THOSE ARE THE CHOICES.

THOSE ARE THE CHOICES.

I RECOMMEND WE TRY FOR A ROBBERY CONVICTION.

BUT YOU TELL ME WHICH WAY YOU WANT TO GO.

AT THIS TIME, MY CLIENT CHANGES

HIS PREVIOUSLY-ENTERED PLEA OF "NOT GUILTY" TO "GUILTY."

ON THE ROBBERY ONLY, TO COVER ALL COUNTS.

IS THAT PLEA ACCEPTABLE, MS. KENNEDY?

IT IS, YOUR HONOR, WITH THE FURTHER STIPULATION

THAT MR. VILLA RECEIVE A MINIMUM THREE-YEAR SENTENCE.

MR. VALPARISO, DO YOU UNDERSTAND THESE PROCEEDINGS?

YES.

DO YOU HAVE AN OBJECTION?

NO.

YOUR HONOR, COULD I JUST SAY SOMETHING FOR THE RECORD?

GO AHEAD.

ALL OF THE DETECTIVES AND MS. KENNEDY,

THEY'VE ALL BEEN VERY GOOD TO ME.

AND FAIR.

AND I KNOW THAT THIS MAKES SENSE.

BUT I'M JUST SICK AT HEART, YOUR HONOR,

THAT WHEN THIS MAN ATTACKED ME,

I DID EXACTLY WHAT EVERYONE SAID TO DO.

I SUBMITTED, YOUR HONOR, WHEN THIS MAN HAD A KNIFE.

AND BECAUSE I DID THAT...

NEVER MIND, IT'S OKAY.

I JUST WANT IT TO BE DONE.

SO YOU CALLED HER?

YEAH, BEFORE SHE WENT TO COURT THIS MORNING.

AND...

I'M GONNA SEE HER TONIGHT.

OKAY, I TOLD YA!

- WHAT'D I TELL YA? - DOESN'T MEAN WE MADE UP.

- GREAT, YOU KNOW, SANDY RIGHT NOW

IS GOING THROUGH AS TOUGH A THING

AS ANY WOMAN EVER HAS TO GO THROUGH IN HER LIFE.

- I KNOW, I KNOW.

BUT IT HASN'T BEEN A TEA PARTY FOR ME EITHER.

HMM.

OKAY... THIS MAY NOT BE THE BEST TIME,

BUT I... I GOTTA TELL YOU THIS.

YOU KNOW, THEY WENT THROUGH THE FREEZE ON PROMOTIONS.

I GOT MY SERGEANT'S PROMOTION.

- NO KIDDIN'! - YEAH.

- THAT'S GREAT! - NO KIDDIN'.

THEY'RE GONNA ANNOUNCE IT TOMORROW.

BOY, THAT...

HEY, I'M REALLY HAPPY FOR YOU, LUCE, THAT...

YOU CAN'T SAY ANYTHING TO ANYBODY, THOUGH.

'CAUSE IT'S NOT OFFICIAL YET.

- NO, I WON'T. - JUST...

I WANTED TO TELL YOU BEFORE, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY KNOWS.

HAVE THEY GIVEN YOU AN ASSIGNMENT YET?

YEAH... THE HILL.

THE CAPTAIN WANTS ME TO BE ROLL CALL SERGEANT.

NO KIDDIN'.

SOMEBODY'S GOTTA DO THE JOB, CHARLIE.

THAT'S GREAT, THAT'S GREAT.

CONGRATULATIONS.

YEAH, RIGHT, RIGHT.

NO, I MEAN IT.

OH, YEAH.

YOU REALLY THINK THAT.

LUCE, DON'T TELL ME WHAT I THINK, ALL RIGHT?

OKAY, FINE, JOEY.

WELL, THEN, JUST FORGET ABOUT IT.

FORGET I EVER SAID ANYTHING.

JUST FORGET IT TOTALLY!

I HATE THAT!

SANDY DID THAT TO ME YESTERDAY.

YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO SAY THE RIGHT THING.

YOUR THOUGHT HAS TO BE 100% RIGHT,

OR ELSE YOU'RE A BUM!

WELL, I'LL TELL YOU THE TRUTH, LUCE.

I'M GLAD YOU GOT YOUR PROMOTION.

BUT I DON'T LIKE YOU TAKING OVER FOR THE SARGE,

AND I HATE LOSING YOU AS MY PARTNER.

I'M SORRY.

YEAH, ME, TOO.

I REALLY NEED YOU TO BE MY FRIEND RIGHT NOW.

I COULD USE A FRIEND NOW TOO.

IT'S A BLAST, IF YOU'LL JUST GIVE EVERYTHING UP!

DON'T YOU SEE... ONENESS!

HEY, YOU PEOPLE.

TURN AROUND AND LISTEN TO ME!

IF YOU LOOK AT THE UNIVERSE,

AND YOU DROP ALL THOSE TAPE RECORDERS

AND THOSE EXPENSIVE LOAFERS AND NEW YORK STEAK AND LOBSTER

MATERIAL CRAP,

YOU'RE GONNA SEE THERE'S ONLY ONE SIDE TO EVERYTHING.

ONENESS!

ONE!

YOU SEE, IT AIN'T CONTROL OVER THE EXTERNAL WORLD

THAT THE HUMAN SPIRIT IS SCREAMING FOR

AS MUCH AS IT IS GETTING THE HECK AWAY FROM IT ALL!

AND I'M TALKING NIRVANA THROUGH CONTEMPLATION.

AND THAT'S THINKIN'...

NOTHIN' BUT PURE THINKIN'!

LIFE IS A... IS A BLAST,

IF YOU'LL JUST GIVE EVERYTHING UP.

DON'T YOU SEE?

LIFE IS A... IS A WATER DROP ON A LOTUS LEAF.

NOW, YOU CAN'T GET MORE EXPLICIT THAN THAT.

HEY, YOU GUYS, NOT SO FAST.

I WANNA CLUE YOU IN TO THE OTHER SIDE OF ONENESS.

YOU LISTENING?

GET FAT OFF OF THE LOVE OF MAN,

BUT STARVE ON THE LOVE OF MONEY.

- YOU HEAR ME? - HEY, FRIEND,

TAKE YOU AND YOUR ONENESS AND HIT THE ROAD, WILL YOU?

WE'RE TRYING TO WATCH THE DANCING HERE.

CORRUPTIONS OF THE FLESH, MAN.

NOW, WE ALL GOTTA ABSTAIN FROM SEX.

FORGET ENJOYMENT.

SHUT UP, PAJAMA BREATH!

HEY, I'M BEGGIN' YOU NOW.

YOU LISTEN TO ME.

YOU LISTEN TO THE ONENESS OF LOVE.

- GRRR! - LOVE IS ALL-POWERFUL!

YOU GONNA BE STUPID AND DISPUTE ME ON THAT?

YEAH.

"YOUR CONTEMPT IS BUT A SHALLOW POOL".

AND SO'S YOUR MOTHER!

THAT'S ENOUGH!

AND I'M GONNA MELT YOUR HEART!

HEY!

AGH, OHH!

UHH!

AGGH!

UH-OH.

GET YOUR STINKIN' HANDS OFF ME!

I'M A MAN OF GOD!

YEAH, AND I'M A COP!

YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.

I WARN YOU, I'M GONNA.

I'M GONNA REFUSE ALL FOOD AND WATER!

THIS FLOOR, MA'AM?

MM-MM, NEXT.

THEY'VE BEEN SCUFFLING AND THROWING THINGS ABOUT

FOR HALF AN HOUR.

POOR MAN LIVES ALONE UP THERE.

MA'AM, I DON'T BLAME YOU.

I DON'T BLAME YOU FOR BEING UPSET ABOUT IT.

IF I WAS ALL ALONE LIKE YOU

AND HEARD THIS SORT OF THING GOING ON...

I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WE GOT HERE AS FAST AS WE COULD...

HEY, HEY!

HEY YOU, HOLD IT, BOY!

I WANT YOU TO STAY RIGHT THERE...

- PACO! - GAH!

AAAAGH!

HOLD IT, YOU COME BACK!

HEY, HOLD IT, HOLD IT!

AAAAAH!

- ALL RIGHT! - AGH!

HEY, HOLD IT!

HEY, COME BACK HERE!

GET OFF ME, MAN!

GET OFF ME, PIG!

GET OFF, MAN, GET OFF!

OH, MR. ANSON... MR. ANSON.

- COME IN HERE! - LOOK FAMILIAR?

YEAH, THE DIABLO TWINS.

AAH! - SHUT UP!

HE'S DEAD!

HE'S DEAD, YOU...

KILLED HIM YOU... YOU ANIMAL!

NOTHING IN THE WARRANT SPECIFIES VIDEO TAPES, J.D.

ANY PLACE ON PREMISES THEY MIGHT BE STORED.

PIMP'S THE LESSEE.

NAME'S LESTER MENDLEY.

LET'S SEE IF WE CAN'T FIND HIM TOO.

- RIGHT. - THE RENDAZO KILLING?

THEY'RE GONNA SELL SOME NEWSPAPERS ON THIS ONE, FRANK.

ASSEMBLYMAN, LOVE NEST, NOSE CANDY... HER.

- DID SHE KILL HIM? - I DON'T THINK SO.

I MEAN, I THINK IT WAS SELF-DEFENSE.

WE GET A STATEMENT?

I'D LIKE TO INTERROGATE HER ALONE.

SHE SEEMS TO TRUST ME.

HAD A COUPLE MINUTES WITH HER AT THE SCENE.

I'D GIVE THE MONEY TO LESTER.

HE'D TAKE OUT EXPENSES AND GIVE ME HALF.

WITH A REGULAR LIKE... LIKE THIS...

ASSEMBLYMAN RENDAZO.

MM-HMM.

THAT WOULD BE 500 FOR TWO HOURS.

IT'S A KNACK, HELPING BUSY PEOPLE RELAX, YOU KNOW.

MAYBE THERE WOULD BE SOMETHING SPECIAL THAT THEY'D LIKE.

IN RENDAZO'S CASE, GUNS.

HE GOT OFF ON GUNS.

BY POINTING THEM AT YOU?

ONCE, HE EVEN SHOT AT A LAMP,

JUST TO PROVE TO ME THAT IT WAS LOADED.

BUT IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LOADED, EVER.

BUT HE'D GET LOADED.

SO, AFTER HE SHOT THE LAMP OUT,

I TOLD HIM THAT HE COULDN'T COME BACK.

BUT THEN HE... HE GOT BETTER FOR A WHILE.

I MEAN, WHO NEEDS REAL GUNS?

THERE'S ENOUGH GUYS GET OFF ON WATER PISTOLS.

WHAT?

YOU LIKE THAT?

YOU LIKE WATER PISTOLS?

ME?

NO.

I DON'T LIKE GUNS OF ANY KIND.

LOOK, WHITNEY...

LOOK, THIS IS THE ENTIRE TRUTH.

THE GUY WAS WRECKED.

HE TOLD ME THE GUN WAS LOADED,

SO I SAID THEN WE WEREN'T DOING ANYTHING.

THEN THERE WAS A FINANCIAL... ADJUSTMENT.

SO I RECONSIDERED MY POSITION.

AFTER WHICH HE REALLY WENT NUTS.

HE STARTED POKING ME WITH THE GUN.

I TRIED TO WALK AWAY.

BUT HE... HE JUST KEPT POKING ME WITH IT.

SO I PUSHED IT.

AND THEN HE... HE POINTED IT

AT MY FACE.

STARTED SCREAMING AT ME.

I TRIED TO GET IT AWAY FROM HIM, AND...

IT WENT OFF.

LOOK...

WHITNEY...

LESTER'S MACHINE WASN'T PLUGGED IN,

BUT IF THERE WERE TAPES OF OTHER NIGHTS,

THEY'D SHOW RENDAZO PLAYING WITH HIS GUN, RIGHT?

YES.

IF THERE ARE TAPES,

THEY'RE GONNA HELP YOU, WHITNEY.

THEY'RE GONNA SUPPORT YOUR STORY.

HE HAD A CLOSET DOWNSTAIRS.

HE KEPT SOME TRUNKS AND THINGS.

EXCUSE ME.

OFFICER, MICHAEL SHAPIRO REPRESENTING MS. BARNES.

YOU DIDN'T TALK THIS GUY'S EAR OFF, DID YOU, KIDDO?

WHY NOT?

WE'RE INVESTIGATING EVERY ASPECT

OF YOUR CLIENT'S SELF-DEFENSE CLAIM, MR. SHAPIRO.

I'LL TRY TO KEEP WHITNEY INFORMED OF DEVELOPMENTS.

THANK YOU, LIEUTENANT.

EXCUSE ME.

YOU GOT YOUR FOUR BASIC FORCES OF THE UNIVERSE:

YOUR WEAK FORCE, YOUR STRONG FORCE,

ELECTROMAGNETISM, AND GRAVITY.

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK THOSE... THOSE ATHEIST EGGHEADS

THAT ARE LIVING OFF OF THE GOVERNMENT

ARE TRYING TO DO?

THEY'RE TRYING TO COMBINE IT ALL!

INTO ONE ALL-POWERFUL SUPER FORCE,

ONE BASIC PREMISE FOR THE WHOLE FLIPPIN' SCHEME OF THINGS.

NOW, THAT'S GOD.

THAT'S ONENESS.

NOT TWONESS OR THREENESS.

- ONENESS. - LAST NAME.

GANDHI.

IS THAT WITH AN "H"?

YEAH.

YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR SOUL

WHEN YOU CROAK, SMART GUY?

YOU COULD COME BACK HERE AS AN ANIMAL!

I LIKE ANIMALS.

FIRST NAME?

DAVE. HOW 'BOUT A RAT?

THAT EATS GARBAGE OUT OF THE SEWER!

YOU DON'T KNOW THAT ANYBODY'S GONNA COME BACK AS A RAT.

WELL, THERE YOU GO AGAIN, DISPUTIN' ME!

DISPUTIN' HOLY VISHNU!

DON'T GET HIM STARTED, WOULD YA, ARCHIE?

I GOT A RIGHT TO MY OPINION.

DISHARMONY.

THAT'S ALL I SEE IN THE WORLD.

DISHARMONY AND WISE GUYS.

YOU HAVE EVERYTHING THERE IS, CHIEF... HE'S DEAD.

IT WAS GUNPLAY.

WHITNEY BARNES, YEAH.

WELL, THAT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE TAPE SHOWS.

THERE'S A HIDDEN CAMERA IN THE APARTMENT.

IT WASN'T ON FOR THE MAIN PERFORMANCE,

BUT THE OTHER NIGHTS MAY SUPPORT HER STORY.

I DON'T KNOW WHO ELSE.

I DON'T KNOW.

DAMN IT, CHIEF, I DON'T KNOW.

WHEN I KNOW, YOU'LL KNOW!

YOU'LL HAVE TO EXCUSE ME NOW.

- HOLD IT. - HEY, SAILOR!

YOU WANT TO SEE SOME PICTURES?

- SQUAD ROOM HOLDING. - ARE THOSE THE TAPES?

WE'RE GONNA GO THROUGH 'EM, WHITNEY,

SEE IF THEY CORROBORATE.

CAN YOU GIVE US A GUESS ON TIME?

HARD TO SAY.

UPSTAIRS, PUSSYCAT LOUNGE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF TAPES YOU GOT,

BUT I GOT A COUPLE DIFFERENT MACHINES SET UP,

- READY TO GO. - WAY TO GO, LIEUTENANT.

MOVE, MOVE, MOVE!

COME ON, MOVE, MOVE!

MOVE ON, JUST SHUT UP AND MOVE ON.

- WHAT DID THEY DO? - HOMICIDE, CAPTAIN.

- KISS YOUR MAMA, MAN. - HEY, PAL, SHUT UP, OKAY?

DIDN'T YOU BRING THESE TWO IN YESTERDAY?

YES, I DID.

- AND THEN RUB SOMEONE ELSE TODAY?

- HEY, TAKE IT EASY. - ALL RIGHT, MAN, CHILL OUT.

WHAT, WHAT?

HEY, DON'T TALK SO LOUD, I CAN'T HEAR YOU.

A.D.A. BERNSTEIN.

GOTTA TALK ENGLISH, WE'RE IN AMERICA NOW.

- SHUT UP! - HI.

MY OFFICE SAID YOU CALLED.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE LEGALITIES

OF SPREADING ASHES ON PUBLIC PROPERTY?

ASHES...

PHIL'S REMAINS.

HE ASKED THAT THEY BE SCATTERED OVER THE HILL,

AND EVIDENTLY THAT'S ILLEGAL.

PRIVATE PROPERTY ONLY,

WITH THE OWNER'S CONSENT.

- EXCEPT FOR THE OCEAN. - I KNOW.

MORTUARY'S BEEN PUSHING THAT ONE.

THEY WON'T RELEASE THE ASHES TO ME

UNLESS I CAN GIVE THEM A LEGAL DESTINATION FOR THE PERMIT.

THE VASE ON OUR COFFEE TABLE?

HOW WAS YOUR DAY?

ASK ME ONCE I SEE THE RODRIGUEZ BROTHERS.

LOOKIN' NICE, COUNSELOR.

YO, FRANKIE!

NO ATTITUDE, JESUS.

I'LL WIPE IT RIGHT OFF YOUR FACE.

THE RODRIGUEZ BROTHERS DID A MURDER.

I HEARD, I'M SORRY.

AND I HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE.

I TAKE ACCOUNT FOR WHAT I DO, FURILLO.

YOU TOOK ACCOUNT FOR THEM YESTERDAY.

AND?

AND TODAY, THEY COMMITTED A MURDER.

THAT'S SEPARATE BUSINESS!

THAT MAKES YOU THE HEAD OF NOTHING.

ARE YOU IMPLYING I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MURDER?

YOU WON'T DO TIME FOR IT, BUT YES.

WELL, WHAT ABOUT YOU?!

WE DID THIS BUSINESS TOGETHER, FURILLO.

ARE YOU RESPONSIBLE?

YES.

- TAKE IT EASY, FRANKIE. - FRANK, FRANK!

YOU'RE LETTING ALL THIS GET TO YOU.

LEO WAS BRINGING THE DIABLOS UP.

THEY JUMP HIM!

COME ON.

YOU PIGS BETTER MOVE, COME ON!

- PUT THOSE GUNS DOWN! - YOU SEE THIS?

- NOW! - NO ONE HAS TO GET HURT, SON.

NOW, JUST LET HIM GO. - YOU COME CLOSER,

HE GETS IT IN THE EYE!

YOU'RE NOT GETTING OUT OF HERE.

LET HIM GO. - BACK OFF!

I'LL KILL HIM, MAN!

I SAID BACK OFF, HE GETS IT THROUGH HIS HEAD, MAN!

I MEAN IT!

WE CAN WAIT HIM OUT, FRANK.

- LET HIM GO. - JESUS!

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, MAN?

HEY, DON'T TALK TO THOSE PIGS!

COME HERE AND TALK TO ME, MAN!

HELP US, MAN!

JUST LET HIM GO, NOW.

HEY, MAN, BUT HE COULD GET US OUT OF HERE, MAN.

IF THEY TRY TO STOP US, I'LL KILL HIM!

DON'T BE STUPID!

YOU'RE JUVENILES.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT THREE YEARS, MAX, FOR THAT OLD MAN.

NOW LET HIM GO, NOW.

, PACO. PACO, LISTEN!

GUY, JUST SHUT UP!

HE'S SUPPOSED TO HELP US, MAN!

HEY, WE DON'T NEED YOU!

- TRAITOR! - I'M GIVING YOU LIFE!

YOU HURT THAT MAN,

THEY AIN'T GONNA LET YOU LIVE.

NOW, LET HIM GO, NOW!

PACO...

- NOW. - PACO!

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, GET OUT OF HERE, MAN!

HEY, YOU TOLD US YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO HELP US, MAN!

HOLD IT, UPSTAIRS, GET THOSE CUFFS BACK ON.

YOU'RE GONNA TALK, TOO, LITTLE BROTHER, YOU...

I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!

I WANT SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES FOR THE RODRIGUEZ BROTHERS.

I WANT THEM TREATED AS ADULTS.

IT IS NOT IN THE POLICY GUIDELINES...

AH, THE HELL WITH POLICY GUIDELINES.

THEY COMMITTED MURDER AND TOOK AN OFFICER HOSTAGE.

WHICH, LET'S FACE IT,

HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR DEMANDS.

YOUR ANGRY PHONE CALLS TO MY OFFICE,

YOUR RAGE RIGHT NOW...

YOUR UNREASONABLENESS ABOUT THIS WHOLE DAMN CASE.

NOW, LOOK, I KNOW YOU MADE THAT DEAL

FOR THE TRUCK HIJACKERS WITH MARTINEZ.

BELIEVE ME, WE ARE NOT GONNA LET THEM OFF EASY.

IF IT'S ANY CONSOLATION TO YOU,

MICHIGAN AVENUE JUST STARTED PACKING ITS OVERFLOW

OFF TO JUVIE.

YOU WANNA PUNISH THESE KIDS LIKE ADULTS?

BELIEVE ME, AT JUVIE, THEY ARE GONNA GET TREATED LIKE ADULTS.

WHERE'S THE WHITNEY BARNES MEETING?

CHECK AT THE DESK.

HEY. CAPTAIN...

BEEN GOING THROUGH MOST OF THOSE TAPES.

AND?

WELL, SHE'S ON THEM A BUNCH OF TIMES

WITH THAT STATE ASSEMBLYMAN.

PRETTY CRAZY DUDE.

DO THE TAPES SUPPORT HER STORY?

OH, YEAH... HEAVY INTO GUNPLAY.

ALL RIGHT, LET A.D.A. BERNSTEIN KNOW.

YEAH, TELL YOU SOMETHING, CAPTAIN,

THIS WHITNEY, SHE WAS WORKING OUT

WITH SOME HEAVY-DUTY CITIZENS.

ANYONE PERTAINING TO THIS CASE?

NOT YET... STILL GOT SOME TAPES TO GO THROUGH, THOUGH.

ALL RIGHT, LET ME KNOW AS SOON AS YOU FINISH.

RIGHT, CAPTAIN.

PHONE SLIP OUT OF YOUR HAND, FRANK?

SORRY, CHIEF, ROUGH DAY.

I UNDERSTAND THOSE KIDS YOU SPRUNG CROAKED THE GUY.

I DIDN'T SPRING ANYBODY.

I MADE A DEAL FOR INFORMATION WITH A CITIZEN.

YOU'VE GOT TO RUN A PRECINCT UP HERE, I UNDERSTAND THAT.

THIS, UH, WHITNEY BARNES WOMAN...

WHAT ABOUT HER?

I NEED TO LOOK AT THOSE TAPES YOU'VE SEIZED.

- WHY? - WHY, FRANK?

BECAUSE I'VE JUST GOTTEN OFF THE PHONE

WITH SOME PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON WHO REQUESTED THAT I DO SO

BECAUSE SECURITY QUESTIONS ARE INVOLVED HERE

THAT HAVE TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED AND DEALT WITH.

NOW THAT I'VE TROUBLED EXPLAINING MYSELF

TO A SUBORDINATE, I'D LIKE YOU TO SET UP

A DAMN ROOM SO I CAN SEE THE DAMN FILMS.

LARUE AND WASHINGTON ARE RUNNING THEM UPSTAIRS.

YOU'RE KIDDING ME.

TELL ME.

THEY SAY THE TAPES TEND TO SUPPORT HER STATEMENT.

WHAT HAVE THEY SAID ABOUT WHO'S ON THOSE FILMS?

SOME PROMINENT CITIZENS.

I DIDN'T ASK NAMES.

GIVEN THE TAPES TEND TO EXCULPATE...

THAT MEANS THEY CLEAR YOU.

THE ONLY CHARGE WE'D CONTEMPLATE

WOULD BE INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER.

SOME QUESTIONS REMAINS AS TO TRACES OF COCAINE

AND BARBITURATES FOUND ON PREMISES.

THE OWNERSHIP OF WHICH WE DENY.

UNDERSTOOD.

I'M ESTABLISHING BAIL CONSIDERATIONS.

ASSUMING SHE CAN MAKE IT, MY INCLINATION IS TO GO

FOR 30,000 BOND, 10% CASH ALTERNATIVE.

ACCEPTABLE.

I HAVEN'T GOT $3,000, MIKE.

SHAPIRO PROVIDES.

WE'VE GOT OPENING BIDS OF 25,000 FOR THE LOVE NEST STORY

AND 32,000 FOR YOUR LIFE.

MR. DESJARDINS!

I'M TAKING THIS STRAIGHT TO YOUR CAPTAIN!

WHAT'S GOING ON?

I CAUGHT HIM STEALING ENVELOPES!

THAT'S NOT TRUE, CAPTAIN.

WHO IN THE HELL IS HE?

THIS MAN IS FROM GENERAL ACCOUNTING, FRANK.

HE'S... HE'S INVESTIGATING MISSING OFFICE SUPPLIES.

I FOUND OVER $20 WORTH OF ENVELOPES IN HIS LOCKER.

IN MY OFFICE.

IT'S TRUE, CAPTAIN.

I WAS STEALING.

I ESTIMATE YOU'VE BEEN LOSING ABOUT $15 A DAY

IN PILFERED MATERIAL.

- MR... - DESJARDINS.

- "DEJARDAN." - MR. "DEJARDAN."

LOOKS AS IF YOU'VE DONE A FINE PIECE OF DETECTIVE WORK HERE.

I'LL COMMUNICATE SAME TO YOUR OFFICE.

ALL IN A DAY'S WORK, SIR.

WITH YOUR PERMISSION, I'D LIKE TO HANDLE DISCIPLINE INTERNALLY.

YOU KNOW, TERMINATION HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE POLICY OF THE DEPART...

I'M WELL AWARE, OF POLICY, MR. DESJARDINS.

STILL, I'D ASK YOU TO LET US HANDLE IT FROM IN HERE.

HE'S YOUR MAN.

I APPRECIATE IT.

WELL, YOU'LL WANT THE EVIDENCE.

OF COURSE, I WILL REPORT MY FINDINGS.

OF COURSE.

IF YOU'LL EXCUSE US, RAY.

CERTAINLY, FRANK.

TELL ME WHY, LEO.

MY WIFE HAS A HOME SEED BUSINESS.

YOU KNOW, FLOWERS, VEGETABLES.

I WANTED TO HELP HER OUT.

HOW LONG?

COUPLE OF MONTHS.

ABOUT THE TIME YOUR WIFE STARTED GOING OUT NIGHTS.

OKAY, THE BORROWING OF OFFICE SUPPLIES STOPS RIGHT NOW.

THERE'LL BE NO MORE MENTION OF IT, BUT THERE'S A RECURRENCE,

I'M GONNA HAVE TO LET YOU GO.

HOW ARE THINGS AT HOME NOW?

I DON'T KNOW.

BUT I'M WORKING ON IT, CAPTAIN, I'M...

I'M TAKING CARE OF IT.

WHAT ABOUT PROFESSIONAL HELP?

CAPTAIN, THE ONLY PLACE I NEED PROFESSIONAL HELP IS HERE!

I'M SUPPOSED TO BE IN CHARGE OF LOCKUP AND TRANSPORT.

I WIND UP BEING A NURSE, A BABYSITTER,

A LUNCH WAGON.

TODAY, I ALMOST GET KILLED FOR MY TROUBLES,

IN CASE NOBODY NOTICED.

ALL RIGHT, TAKE THE REST OF THE DAY.

WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT TOMORROW.

YES, SIR.

THANK YOU, SIR.

TRANSFERRED TO FAMILY COURT

PER THE PEOPLE'S MOTION.

DEFENDANTS TO BE TRANSFERRED TO JUVENILE HALL.

NEXT CASE.

94 ON THE CALENDAR,

CHARGED WITH ASSAULT, HARASSMENT, RESISTING ARREST.

I UNDERSTAND YOUR ATTORNEY'S CUTTING A 40K DEAL

WITH THE "TRIB."

I DON'T KNOW.

I'M NOT SURE.

"WHITNEY BARNES STORY" IS PRETTY HOT STUFF.

"SEXPOSE" OF THE YEAR.

LOOK, I'M IN JAIL, AND I'M BROKE.

JUST SEEMS LIKE...

PUTTING IT IN THE PAPERS JUST SEEMS LIKE

SELLING YOURSELF ALL OVER AGAIN.

WHAT ELSE HAVE I GOT TO SELL, LIEUTENANT?

I'M NOT SAYING WHAT I MEAN.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN TO SAY?

JUST...

YOU SEEM LIKE A NICE PERSON,

AND I'M SORRY YOU'RE IN THIS TROUBLE.

I SHOULD GET OUT ON BAIL TONIGHT.

THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT, EITHER.

MY MISTAKE.

CALLING NUMBER 95, WHITNEY BARNES.

CHARGE IS VOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER.

BAIL AGREEMENT BETWEEN DEFENSE AND THE D.A.

HAS BEEN ARRANGED.

AM I CORRECT?

WE'RE AGREED ON $30,000 BOND,

3,000 CASH ALTERNATIVE, WHICH HAS JUST BEEN POSTED.

IS THAT CORRECT, MR. SHAPIRO?

- THAT'S CORRECT, JUDGE. - THAT'S RIGHT, YOUR HONOR.

WE'RE RUNNING BEHIND.

WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, PEOPLE...

MARCH 14TH, SUPERIOR, PART 42

FOR PLEA AND PROBATION REPORT.

I'M, UH, FULLY COGNIZANT THIS IS A, UH, RACY CASE,

WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS OVERWORKED COURT

DOESN'T NEED RIGHT NOW, SO...

ANY QUESTIONS, INTERVIEWS, ET CETERA,

WILL BE CONDUCTED OUTSIDE.

NEXT CASE.

YOUR EDITOR'S INFORMATION MANAGER

SHOULD CONTACT ME BY 6 P.M. WITH THEIR BIDS

FOR MS. BARNES' EXCLUSIVE LOVE NEST STORY.

CAN YOU GIVE US SOME IDEA OF THE NAMES INVOLVED?

UH, RIGHT NOW, WE ANTICIPATE A 60-SEGMENT SERIAL

FEATURING A DIFFERENT, WELL-KNOWN INDIVIDUAL.

WELL, DON'T YOU ALSO ANTICIPATE LIBEL SUITS?

UH, I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT ALL OF MS. BARNES' CLAIMS

WILL BE GRAPHICALLY SUBSTANTIATED.

NOW, ARE YOU SAYING THAT YOU HAVE PICTURES?

UH, VIDEOTAPES.

FREE ENTERPRISE, NEED A GRAM!

I'M AWARE OF THE LEGALITIES.

ISN'T THERE A SPECIAL PERMIT?

I'M SURE BURIAL AT SEA WOULD BE VERY NICE,

EVEN POPULAR, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT HE WANTED.

I'M NOT A BEREAVED, I...

RIGHT... OKAY.

MM-HMM.

YOUR INVENTORY ISN'T GOING TO SQUARE, FRANK.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE TWO TAPES SHORT.

WHY IS THAT?

BECAUSE I REMOVED THEM.

LOOK, IF THEY'RE AS SENSITIVE AS YOU SAY,

WHY HAVEN'T I HEARD FROM THE F.B.I.

OR SOME SECURITY AGENCY?

YOU HEARD IT FROM ME.

CHIEF, I HAVE TO ACCOUNT FOR ALL EVIDENCE SEIZED.

THEN REDO THE PAPERWORK, DAMN IT.

FRANK... A FEW MONTHS AGO,

HOWARD HUNTER SHOWED UP ON SOME BRIBERY TAPES.

YOU REMEMBER THAT?

YES.

YOU REMEMBER ASKING ME TO SPARE HIM

AN I.A.D. HEARING, TO UNDERSTAND THE CIRCUMSTANCES?

SURE.

I'M ASKING YOU FOR SIMILAR RELIEF.

I SLEPT WITH THIS GIRL, FRANK.

CORA AND I WEREN'T GETTING ALONG.

ANYWAY, I SLEPT WITH HER TWICE.

THOSE ARE THE TAPES I'M TAKING.

I HEAR WHITNEY IS SELLING HER BEDROOM SECRETS

TO THE MEDIA.

FRANK... JUST LET ME KEEP THESE TWO TAPES.

I'LL TAKE MY CHANCES WITH THE REST.

YOU THINK SHE WON'T MENTION YOU?

THIS GIRL IS ON TAPE WITH DOZENS OF SERIOUS PEOPLE, FRANK.

SHE THREATENS TO GO PUBLIC,

I WOULDN'T SELL HER ANY LIFE INSURANCE, WOULD YOU?

I'M GONNA TAKE SILENCE AS CONSENT.

EMBARRASSMENT ASIDE, FRANK,

IT'S REALLY SOMETHING SEEING YOURSELF PERFORM LIKE THAT.

DETECTIVE.

- CAPTAIN. - HA, MYSTERY DETECTIVE.

RETIRED, FIRST OF THE MONTH.

SECURITY CONSULTANT.

PRIVATE, CORPORATE... WHATEVER.

MY OWN FIRM.

JUST WANTED TO SAY, UH,

IF YOU EVER HIT THE FIRST OF THE MONTH AROUND THE 24TH,

GIVE ME A CALL.

I'LL FIND YOU SOME WORK, OKAY?

YOU KNOW, UH...

THINGS'LL PROBABLY LOOSEN UP AROUND HERE,

MOONLIGHTING-WISE,

NOW THAT, UH, PHIL ESTERHAUS IS GONE.

DON'T... MENTION HIS NAME... EVER!

HIS NAME IN YOUR MOUTH SOUNDS LIKE GARBAGE.

I WON'T STAND FOR IT.

MICK...

WAIT FOR ME DOWNSTAIRS, WOULD YOU?

HE'S A MUTT, FRANK.

- BELONGS IN A KENNEL AT BEST. - WHAT DO YOU WANT, JERRY?

AH, I JUST CAME UP TO EXPRESS

MY PERSONAL CONDOLENCES AND, UH...

WANTED YOU TO KNOW I'M IN SECURITY NOW.

- GOOD... GOOD LUCK, JERRY.

IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME.

FRANK...

I HEARD THEY'RE RETURNING VICE TO THE PRECINCTS.

I KNOW YOU DON'T RESPECT ME RIGHT NOW.

BUT I PROMISE YOU, ONE OF THESE DAYS,

YOU'LL UNDERSTAND HOW IT IS.

VICE ISN'T ABOUT RIGHT OR WRONG, FRANK.

IT'S ABOUT WEAKNESS.

AND EVERYBODY'S WEAK SOMEWHERE.

WHAT HAPPENS IS, SOMEONE YOU KNOW,

MAYBE EVEN SOMEONE YOU LOVE,

IS GONNA STEP IN BROWN APPLE SAUCE,

AND THEY'RE GONNA BEG YOU, BEG YOU,

TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY WHILE THEY WIPE THEIR SHOE.

AND YOU REALIZE, NO ONE'S GONNA GET HURT

IF YOU JUST TURN YOUR BACK THIS ONE TIME.

SO YOU DO IT.

AND THAT'S HOW IT STARTS.

AND IT WILL WIND UP...

IT WILL WIND UP, YOU JUST TRY TO BEND A LITTLE,

AND IT WILL WIND UP...

YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE ON FOOT OR ON HORSEBACK OR WHAT.

THINGS WIND UP SO CONFUSED.

I HOPE THE NEW BUSINESS GOES WELL, JERRY.

HOPE IT GOES WELL FOR YOU.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING... I KNOW.

YOU NEED A LITTLE TIME OFF, MICK?

NO.

I'LL BE OKAY.

I MISS HIM, TOO.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO MISUNDERSTAND

WHAT I'M GONNA SAY, CAPTAIN.

'CAUSE YOU'RE A GOOD BOSS.

THE BEST I EVER HAD.

BUT ESTERHAUS WAS THE LAW UP HERE.

AND NOW THAT HE'S DEAD...

I DON'T KNOW.

I'M SCARED.

I FEEL LIKE EVERYTHING'S GONNA UNRAVEL.

IT'S YOUR JOB AND MINE TO SEE THAT IT DOESN'T.

OKAY.

I'LL TRY.

JOE...

LOOK AT ME.

PLEASE.

CHE FA... WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?

WHAT'S A-YOUSE?

I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM.

NO?

NO.

THAT'S NOT WHAT YOUR BODY'S SAYIN'.

MAN...

LOOK, MAYBE IT'S JUST TOO FAST.

WE DON'T HAVE TO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO.

SANDY, LOOK, YOU'RE GONNA MAKE ME CRAZY, ALL RIGHT?

JUST DON'T TELL ME WHAT I WANT AND DON'T WANT.

OKAY.

THEN WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT.

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU WANNA GO HOME?

MAYBE I SHOULD.

JOE, WHY CAN'T YOU JUST HOLD ME?

HELP ME GET OVER THIS.

MAKE SEX OKAY FOR ME AGAIN.

SANDY... I'M SORRY FOR YOU.

AND I FEEL YOUR PAIN AND YOUR ANGER,

AND I WANNA KILL THE BASTARD.

AND I'D DO ANYTHING IN THE WORLD,

ANYTHING, TO UNDO WHAT HAPPENED.

BUT IT ALSO TURNS ME OFF.

WHY?

'CAUSE I'M DIRTY NOW?

NO, I DON'T THINK THAT.

I'VE HAD THESE STRONG FEELINGS

OF WANTING TO MAKE LOVE TO YOU.

YOU'RE THE FIRST WOMAN I'VE EVER THOUGHT ABOUT

HAVING IT ALL WITH.

AND NOW I CAN'T.

BUT IT HAPPENS TO EVERYBODY...

IT NEVER HAPPENED TO ME!

LOOK, I KNOW YOU NEED ME RIGHT NOW,

AND I HATE MYSELF, BECAUSE I CAN'T GIVE YOU WHAT YOU NEED.

AND I KNOW I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO FEEL THAT WAY,

AND THAT MAKES ME FEEL GUILTY, TOO.

I JUST DON'T KNOW WHO THE HELL I AM RIGHT NOW.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I FEEL.

GO.

JUST GO.

SHE'S FAIRLY BRIGHT.

SHE'S, I'D SAY, UNUSUALLY BEAUTIFUL.

AND THE STRANGE THING IS, GIVEN WHAT SHE DOES,

SHE DOESN'T EVEN SEEM TO BE TOO CYNICAL.

IT'S THIS APPEALING SORT OF NAIVETE.

I MEAN, I KNOW SHE'S NOT... GOOD GOD, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO

IS LOOK AT ONE OF THOSE TAPES FOR FIVE MINUTES.

DID YOU?

WELL, YES.

ALL IN THE LINE OF DUTY?

FAY, SHE'S NOT ANYONE TO BE JEALOUS OF.

FOR THE LAST HALF HOUR, YOU'VE BEEN TELLING ME

THAT SHE'S INTELLIGENT, GORGEOUS,

EMOTIONALLY ACCESSIBLE.

AN INCREDIBLE SEXUAL ATHLETE.

HOW COULD I NOT BE JEALOUS?

FAY, SHE'S A PROSTITUTE.

WHICH IS PART OF WHAT ATTRACTS YOU.

INTERESTS ME.

OH, EXCUSE ME.

INTERESTS YOU.

ON A PURELY CLINICAL LEVEL.

GIVE ME A BREAK, WILL YA?

SHE'S NO THREAT TO US, IF THAT'S WHAT'S WORRYING YOU.

TELL ME THAT YOU WOULDN'T LIKE TO SLEEP WITH HER.

TELL ME THAT YOU HAVEN'T IMAGINED IN YOUR MIND'S EYE

HER DOING TO YOU ALL THE THINGS SHE DID

TO THOSE OTHER MEN ON THOSE TAPES.

SO WHAT IS IT, A FELONY TO FANTASIZE?

IT'S NOT EVEN A MISDEMEANOR, HENRY.

NOT TO THINK THEM OR TO DO THEM.

MEANING?

MEANING... NOTHING.

COME ON, WHAT?

MEANING...

I WOULDN'T MIND A LITTLE SEXUAL ADVENTURING OF MY OWN.

IT'S TAKEN ME A LOT OF YEARS TO FEEL OKAY

ABOUT THAT PART OF MYSELF.

I'D LIKE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

FAY, I HAVE NO INTEREST IN BEING A SEXUAL SUPERMAN.

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT.

BUT AS LONG AS WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT,

WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT IS...

WE HAVE FRIENDLY, COMFORTABLE SEX.

I'D LIKE A LITTLE PASSION TO GO ALONG WITH IT.

THAT'S A TWO-WAY STREET.

THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT YOU'D LIKE IT WITH YOUR HOOKER FRIEND,

AND I'D LIKE IT WITH YOU.

I'M SORRY, HENRY.

IT'S OKAY... DON'T BE.

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO DAMN NICE ALL THE TIME?

HENRY, WE HAVE TO TALK.

I CARE TOO MUCH ABOUT YOU TO LET THINGS GET...

DON'T BE A HERO, MAC, OR YOU'RE DEAD.

OKAY... OKAY.

WHATEVER YOU SAY.

YOUR WALLET.

ALL RIGHT.

NOW, LADY, YOUR PURSE.

IS THAT A ZUCCHINI YOU HAVE IN YOUR POCKET,

OR ARE YOU JUST GLAD TO SEE ME?

WHAT?

WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO KID, MISTER?

WHAT DO YOU THINK, WE JUST FELL OFF THE VEGETABLE TRUCK?

THIS IS A COP... HE HAS A REAL GUN.

FAY...

HE'S GOT A REAL GUN.

OKAY, NOW BOTH OF YOU GET DOWN ON THE GROUND.

I WILL NOT, IT'S FILTHY.

LET'S NOT MAKE THIS ANY WORSE THAN IT IS, OKAY?

OKAY.

OKAY...

YOU MOVE, EITHER OF YOU, YOU'RE DEAD.

HENRY, HE'S GOT MY PURSE!

TO HELL WITH YOUR PURSE.

OH, GOD.

WELL, I FAIL TO SEE THE HUMOR HERE!

"IS THAT ZUCCHINI IN YOUR POCKET OR ARE YOU GLAD TO SEE ME?"

- WELL, I... - OH, BOY!

IN ANOTHER TRAGIC INCIDENT

RELATED TO ONGOING EFFORTS AT ALLEVIATING JAIL OVERCROWDING,

TWO MEMBERS OF THE DIABLOS YOUTH GANG

WERE SLAIN EARLIER TONIGHT IN JUVENILE HALL,

APPARENTLY AFTER ONE OF THEM WAS SEXUALLY ASSAULTED

BY A GROUP OF ADULT PRISONERS TRANSFERRED TODAY

FROM MICHIGAN AVENUE.

IDENTITIES OF THE ATTACKERS HAVE NOT BEEN RELEASED,

BUT THE MURDERED INMATES ARE SAID TO BE

FRANCISCO RODRIGUEZ, AGE 16,

AND HIS BROTHER HERNANDO, 15, STABBED REPEATEDLY

AS HE ATTEMPTED TO COME TO HIS BROTHER'S AID.

IN A STRONGLY WORDED STATEMENT TO THE PRESS,

MAYOR CLEVELAND URGED THE STATE TO CONTINUE ITS EFFORTS...

I KNOW.

GO AHEAD.

MAYBE IT'S A SINGING TELEGRAM.

YEAH, FURILLO.

YEAH.

OKAY.

WHITNEY BARNES.

SHE WAS WHACKED.

VERY PROFESSIONAL.

ONE SHOT IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD.

RENTAL CAR.

ANYTHING AT ALL FROM S.I.D.?

NO SIGN OF A STRUGGLE.

MY GUESS IS SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS OUT WITH A JOHN.

I LIKED HER.

SHE WAS AN INTERESTING WOMAN.
