PHIL ASKED ME IF ANYTHING HAPPENED

TO DELIVER THIS TO YOU.

HE WANTED YOU TO BE EXECUTOR.

PREVIOUSLY ON "HILL STREET BLUES"...

AMONG SERGEANT ESTERHAUS' EFFECTS

WAS THIS LETTER ADDRESSED TO THE PEACE OFFICERS

OF THE HILL STREET DAY SHIFT.

HE SAID HE WAS GONNA KILL ME.

HE MADE ME GET UNDRESSED AND LIE ON THE FLOOR.

JOE, WHY CAN'T YOU JUST HOLD ME?

MAKE SEX OKAY FOR ME AGAIN.

- VIDEO CAMERA. - WE FOUND IT BEHIND A TWO-WAY MIRROR

IN THE BEDROOM.

WHAT?

I'M NOT A BLACKMAILER, LIEUTENANT.

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

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

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE LEGALITIES

OF SPREADING ASHES ON PUBLIC PROPERTY?

- ASHES? - PHIL'S REMAINS.

WHITNEY BARNES.

ONE SHOT IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD.

VERY PROFESSIONAL.

ANYTHING AT ALL FROM S.I.D.?

NO SIGN OF A STRUGGLE.

ESTERHAUS WAS THE LAW UP HERE.

AND NOW THAT HE'S DEAD,

I FEEL LIKE EVERYTHING'S GONNA UNRAVEL.

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

OKAY, SAVE IT!

LET'S COME TO ORDER.

COME ON, GUYS, IT'S EVEN MONEY WE CAN START ON TIME.

ALL RIGHT, I'M HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THERE'S BEEN A THAW

IN THE DEPARTMENT'S FREEZE ON PROMOTIONS.

LUCY BATES IS NOW A SERGEANT.

LUCY WILL BE COMMANDER OF THE WATCH.

SHE'LL BE MAKING ASSIGNMENTS, TURNING OUT THE SHIFT.

YOU WON'T HAVE GOLDBLUME TO KICK AROUND ANYMORE.

SERGEANT BATES.

OKAY, MEMORIAL SER...

FOR SERVICE FOR SERGEANT ESTERHAUS

IN THE BENEDICT CHAPEL OF THE POLICE ACADEMY

AT 11:00 THIS MORNING.

ASSIGNMENTS, COFFEY, YOU'RE GONNA BE WITH PEYSER.

KOLZICKI IS OUT SICK, SO PEREZ IS GONNA BE WITH PILSKY.

YOU'LL RIDE TOGETHER, OKAY?

ALSO I'M ANNOUNCING A NEW KHAKI OFFICER

THAT'LL BE UNDER LEO'S WING.

HER NAME IS NATALIE DeROY.

NATALIE SPENT THE LAST TWO YEARS UP AT DIVISION, SO...

SLOW IT DOWN.

I CAN'T UNDERSTAND ONE SINGLE THING SHE'S SAYING.

IF YOU FIND HER... I MEAN FIND HER,

AND WELCOME HER TO THE HILL, OKAY?

ITEM ONE, WHAT YOU SAW UPSTAIRS AND EVERYWHERE ELSE.

AND THAT IS PERPS.

OKAY, THEY'VE BEEN STASHED HERE

AND IN EVERY OTHER PRECINCT HOLDING CELL.

THEY'RE GONNA BE HERE 'TIL 3:00 PM TODAY

BY ORDER OF THIS JUDGE CRUZ.

HE'S THE GUY WHO DECLARED THE MICHIGAN AVENUE

UNCONSTITUTIONALLY OVERCROWDED AND INHUMANE.

OKAY, THE JUDGE HAD 'EM IN JUVI HALL ANNEX,

BUT THAT WAS UNTIL LAST NIGHT.

AND YOU KNOW THAT SOME OF THEM CROAKED.

THE TWO DIABLO RODRIGUEZ BROTHERS.

I'M HEARTBROKEN.

JUDGE CRUZ SAYS THAT, UH,

IF THE CITY DOESN'T COME UP WITH A PLAN

BY 3:00 PM TODAY

WITH A MORE HUMANE INCARCERATION,

THAT HE'S GONNA LET 'EM ALL LOOSE.

HUMANE SOCIETY!

SO EVERYWHERE IN THE STATION IS GONNA BE A ZOO, ALL RIGHT?

SO LET'S KEEP ALL VISITS DOWN TO A MINIMUM, THAT'S IT.

NOW, WANTS AND WARRANTS, HERE WE GO.

WE GOT A WARRANT ON LESTER MENDLEY.

THAT'S THE PIMP FOR WHITNEY BARNES.

THAT'S THE CALL GIRL

THAT WAS IN HERE LAST NIGHT AND GOT WHACKED.

WE GOT ONE ON THE ZUCCHINI ROBBER.

AND WE GOT ONE ON THE FALSE ZUCCHINI ROBBER, OKAY?

BY THE WAY, THE FALSE ZUCCHINI ROBBER,

LAST NIGHT, TOOK OUR OWN LIEUTENANT GOLDBLUME

AND HIS COMPANION.

SO I WANT YOU TO CHECK THE BOARD UPSTAIRS, EVERYBODY.

THERE'S DESCRIPTIONS ON THE BOARD, OKAY, THANK YOU.

JUST WANT TO SAY I'M SORRY.

I'M GONNA GET A LOT BETTER AT THIS.

- I WAS A LITTLE NERVOUS. - THAT'S OKAY, SARGE.

AND I WANT TO SAY THAT I THINK IT STINKS

THAT SOMEBODY STOLE THE PODIUM.

EARN IT!

WHO SAID THAT?

WHOEVER SAID THAT, I DON'T HAVE TO EARN THE DAMN PODIUM.

I HAVE TO EARN THAT YOU LOVE ME LIKE YOU DID THE SARGE.

BUT I DON'T HAVE TO EARN YOUR RESPECT FOR MY POSITION.

SO WHOEVER THE JERK IS BETTER BRING THE PODIUM BACK.

WAS IT YOU, LaRUE?

HEY, EASY, SERGEANT.

HUH?

COME ON, YOU THINK YOU'RE SO TOUGH?

COME ON, YOU WANNA GO OUTSIDE?

HEY, UH, YOU KNOW...

OKAY, I WAS GONNA SAY, "LET'S ROLL,

OVER THE EPICENTER OF THE HILL.

AN INHABITED AREA. IS THAT LEGAL?

IT WAS HIS LAST REQUEST, RAY.

GOOD FOR YOU, FRANK.

WELL, NOW SOMEONE HAS TO FIND THE EPICENTER OF THE HILL.

OH THAT SHOULD BE VERY EASY.

YEAH, ONCE YOU MAKE YOU CARTOGRAPHIC ASSUMPTIONS.

I'LL USE THE PRECINCT MAP, HOWARD.

PHIL ASKED THAT ANYBODY FROM THE DAY SHIFT

WHO'S INTERESTED, UH...

LOIS WAS NOT TO SIT DOWN IN THE TUB.

SHE WAS TO STAY ON ALL FOURS...

I'M MORTIFIED.

TO AVOID EXACTLY THIS SITUATION.

- PLUS, SHE'S PRUNING UP. - REGIS,

WILL YOU GO AND TAKE THE COFFEE CAKE

OUT OF THE FREEZER AND HEAT IT UP FOR ME?

COFFEE, YES. CAKE... NO.

WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL THE PARAMEDICS?

SO CHASTISE ME LATER.

I'M SORRY MA'AM, I GOT LOST IN THE TERRAIN.

I TRIED TO CALL THE PARAMEDICS,

MAN, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?

YOU RAPE A 14-YEAR-OLD GIRL?

- TAKE IT EASY. - YOU KILL HER?

STOP! STOP!

JOE!

YOU'RE BUSTED, MAN.

IN WATCHING PHIL TEACH OUR RECRUITS,

I EXPERIENCED HIS COMPASSION, HIS QUIET STRENGTH,

HIS JOY OF LIFE,

AND HIS DEEP SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY.

LET ME READ YOU A POEM

WHICH CONVEYS THESE QUALITIES IN HIM.

"I AM AT EASE. IT'S END OF DAY.

"MY DUTY HAS BEEN DONE.

"THE HOUR CALLS ME FAR AWAY

"BEYOND THE SETTING SUN.

"MEET ME BY THE OCEAN'S ROCKS

"IN THE SHADOWS ON THE LANE.

"FIND ME IN THE SNOWFLAKES

"AS THEY CROWD AGAINST THE PANE.

"OR BECKON ME IN SILENCE

"THEN LISTEN TO THE BREEZE.

"AND YOU WILL HEAR ME ALWAYS,

FOR, AT LAST, I STAND AT EASE."

PHIL'S WISH THAT HE BE CREMATED WAS CARRIED OUT...

EARLIER THIS MORNING.

THERE'LL BE NO GRAVESITE SERVICE.

GOD BLESS YOU, AND THANK YOU FOR COMING.

THAT WAS VERY MOVING, SIR.

THE ROCK AND THE SILENCE AND ALL.

WAS THAT, UH, SIMON AND GARFUNKEL?

NO, THAT WAS PHIL ESTERHAUS.

HE WROTE A LOT OF POETRY.

- CHIEF. - NICE SERVICE, EH, FRANK?

BRIEF AND TO THE POINT, A LOT LIKE THE MAN.

IRWIN SAYS YOU TOLD HIM NOT TO PRESENT A PLAN

- FOR MICHIGAN AVENUE. - YES, SIR.

WELL, IS CORRECTIONS PRESENTING?

WELL, TECHNICALLY IT'S NOT THEIR PROBLEM...

- CHIEF. - LEAVE IT TO ME, FRANK.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE YOUR HOLDING CELLS BACK BY THE END OF THE DAY.

IT'S NOT GONNA HELP MATTERS

IF CRUZ EMPTIES THE HOLDING CELLS

AND PUTS THE CRIMINALS BACK ON MY STREETS.

OF COURSE NOT.

WHA... THEN ARE YOU PRESENTING A PLAN?

WE'RE GONNA GET RESULTS.

SYMPATHIES TO PHIL'S FAMILY.

DID HE HAVE FAMILY?

TUMBLERS ON B-LOCK ARE OFF,

SO YOU HAVE TO, SORT OF, DEVELOP A FEEL

FOR IT WITH YOUR WRIST.

UH-HUH.

YOU SURE THERE'S ROOM IN THERE?

HE'LL SQUEEZE IN.

I'M A SOCIABLE PERSON.

KEEP YOUR CLOTHES ON, OKAY?

- WHAT'S THAT? - THAT?

NOTHING.

LEO, THAT'S THE ROLE-CALL PODIUM.

THEY SOMETIMES PLAY PRANKS ON EACH OTHER.

SOME OF THEM ARE FUNNIER THAN OTHERS.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA SAY ANYTHING?

NONE OF OUR BUSINESS.

FELLOW AMERICANS!

I WANT TO TEST YOU...

ON THE SUBJECT OF RIGHTS!

OKAY.

WE GOT HUMAN RIGHTS!

WE GOT "INANALIENABLE" RIGHTS!

WE GOT THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS!

WE DO.

AND I GOT A RIGHT

TO BARE MY BALD BLACK-ASS.

I'M BEAUTIFUL!

I LOVE YOU, MY BABY.

SANDY, HI.

- HI. - WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

GOT A MESSAGE I'M SUPPOSED TO PICK UP MY PURSE.

IT WAS PROBABLY COURT PROPERTY,

YOU KNOW, THEY USED IT AS EVIDENCE IN THE HEARING.

I THINK LEO CAN GET THAT FOR YOU.

HOW YOU DOING?

NOT GREAT.

TAKES TIME.

HEY, HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, CHUMP-FACE.

OKAY, BUDDY.

LEO, WILL YOU HELP MISS VALPARISO, PLEASE?

- SURE. - THANK YOU.

NATALIE, GET SOME BRACELETS FOR THIS GUY, WILL YOU?

HE TENDS TO WANDER.

HI.

HI.

WERE YOU LOOKING FOR ME?

NOPE, JUST PICKING UP MY PURSE.

LOOK, SANDY, MAYBE WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT LAST NIGHT.

NO, JOE.

AT THIS POINT, I THINK IT'S SMARTER

IF I DO THAT WITH SOMEBODY WHO UNDERSTANDS MY SITUATION.

THANK YOU.

FRANK!

- MISS DAVENPORT. - LIEUTENANT.

HOW WAS THE CEREMONY?

I'M GRATEFUL TO YOU AND RAY

FOR HOLDING THE FORT FOR ME HERE, HOWARD.

WELL, I'LL SAY MY GOODBYE'S TONIGHT.

I IMAGINE LONDON WAS SOMETHING LIKE THIS DURING THE BLITZ.

CAPTAIN, MISS DAVENPORT.

LEO, YOU HAVE HAROLD BAKER?

- WAITING FOR YOU IN LINEUP. - OKAY, THANKS, SEE YOU LATER.

THAT'S, UH, LESTER MENDLEY, WHITNEY BARNES' PANDERER.

- WHO MADE THE BUST? - TURNED HIMSELF IN.

INTERROGATION WILL BE READY IN A COUPLE MINUTES.

- I'D LIKE TO SIT IN, FRANK. - CALL ME.

MR. MENDLEY, LIEUTENANT GOLDBLUME.

LIEUTENANT, I DIDN'T KILL WHITNEY BARNES.

LET'S HIT THAT RIGHT AWAY.

IF YOU WANT TO TALK TO ME, LET'S TALK.

WE WANT TO TALK ALL RIGHT, COME ON.

YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT WHITNEY?

IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, I DIDN'T GET HER FIVE DATES.

GOD, SHE WAS SWEET.

BUT SHE WASN'T STUPID.

SHE KNEW WHAT HAD HAPPENED.

SHE KNEW SHE WAS WORKING A DIFFERENT KIND OF TRICK

WHICH THOSE CATS REFERRED BETWEEN THEMSELVES.

YOU UNDERSTAND?

SHE NEVER ONCE BROUGHT IT UP.

WE NEVER ONCE HAD THE CONVERSATION.

MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE MADE DIFFERENT ARRANGEMENTS.

WELL, THAT WAS THE KIND OF CLASS OF WOMAN SHE WAS.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE MURDER, LESTER?

IN A MINUTE.

I DIDN'T GET TO SAY WHAT A SAD THING THIS IS.

YOU LIVED OFF HER, YOU FILMED WHAT SHE DID

FOR BLACKMAIL, CUT THE CRAP.

BLACKMAIL WHO?

I DIDN'T BLACKMAIL ANYBODY!

WHAT'D YOU MAKE THE MOVIES FOR?

BECAUSE I KNEW SOMETHING EXACTLY LIKE THIS COULD HAPPEN.

I DIDN'T KILL WHITNEY.

ONE OF THOSE FAT SLOBS

WHO DIDN'T WANT HER MEMOIRS TOLD KILLED HER.

AND NOW IN THE PAPERS, LESTER MENDLEY THIS

AND LESTER MENDLEY THAT.

AND NOW THEY'RE COMING AFTER ME!

WELL, WHEN WE'RE DONE HERE,

MR. TOWNSEND AND I ARE TELLING THE RIGHT STORY.

THE PEOPLE HAVE GOT TO KNOW

THE LESTER MENDLEY PLAN FOR THE FUTURE.

- WHAT PEOPLE? - THE PAPERS.

THE LESTER MENDLEY PLAN FOR THE FUTURE,

WHICH IS TO LIVE IN NASSAU AND DON'T BOTHER ANYBODY

UNLESS SOMEBODY TRIES TO KILL ME.

AND THEN MY ATTORNEY SELLS THE TAPES

TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER.

GOT A SLIGHT PROBLEM THERE LESTER.

WHAT, YOU THINK YOU GOT 'EM ALL?

YOU DON'T THINK I MADE COPIES?

YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING TO NASSAU?

HE'S MATERIAL TO A MURDER INVESTIGATION.

WE'LL STAY DOMESTIC, CAPTAIN.

YOU'LL BE APPRISED OF OUR WHEREABOUTS.

HE GOES NOWHERE, HE STAYS IN CUSTODY.

WAIT A MINUTE!

MY MESSAGE HAS GOT TO GET OUT!

THE PEOPLE ON THOSE TAPES HAVE GOT TO KNOW WHERE I'M AT.

I DON'T MEAN TROUBLE FOR ANYBODY!

I'M A JUNKIE.

IF I AIN'T HOLDIN', I CAN BE A BAD CHARACTER.

I KNOW THAT, I GOT A SHEET.

BUT I WAS HOLDING.

I DON'T DO VIOLENCE WHEN I'M HOLDING.

YOU HAD HER BRACELET.

I FOUND IT.

I TOLD HIM IT WAS ON THE WINDOW WHEN I PICKED IT UP.

WHY DID YOU ASSAULT THE OFFICER

WHEN HE TRIED TO TAKE IT AWAY FROM YOU?

I WAS DEFENDING MYSELF. HE COME AT ME.

HAROLD, IF YOU'RE SAYING HE STARTED IT,

THERE ARE WITNESSES WHO SAY OTHERWISE.

LADY, YOU GOTTA UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM.

IF I SEE SOMETHING LAYING IN THE STREET,

SOMETHING THAT MIGHT GIVE ME A LIFT,

I PICK IT UP, IT'S MINE.

SOMEBODY TRIES TO TAKE IT FROM ME,

I FIGHT 'EM.

I GOTTA KEEP IT GOING, THAT'S ALL, YOU SEE?

THAT'S ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT.

HOW COULD I RAPE SOMEBODY?

I AIN'T EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT A WOMAN IN YEARS.

- HI. - HI.

THAT HOTEL PERSHING SUSPECT WAS PRETTY BADLY BEATEN, FRANK.

OH?

APART FROM THE FACT I THINK HE'S PROBABLY INNOCENT.

OF COURSE, NOT 'TIL THIS AFTERNOON COUNSELOR.

I FULLY INTEND TO EXPLORE MY CLIENT'S LEGAL REMEDIES.

I'M SUGGESTING THAT GIRL'S ATTACKER

MAY STILL BE ON THE STREET.

GOD, WILL THEY BE ABLE TO GET JUDGE CRUZ A PLAN BY 3:00?

WELL, UH, DANIELS' ALL SLY WINKS AND VAGUE PROMISES

AND HE'S TOLD BERNSTEIN NOT TO SUBMIT A PLAN.

MAYBE DANIELS HAS SOMETHING GOING WITH THE GOVERNOR.

YEAH, MAYBE IT'S A FAST SHOVEL.

FRANK, I REALIZE THE STRAIN YOU'VE ALL BEEN UNDER.

YOU WANT TO HEAR ABOUT JOE COFFEY'S LAST THREE WEEKS,

STARTING WITH WHEN HE WAS SHOT?

RULE OF LAW IS MOST IMPORTANT

WHEN THINGS ARE MOST UNRAVELED, PIZZA MAN.

AH.

JUST WHAT YOU NEEDED.

WHAT I NEED IS YOU IN A HOTEL ROOM...

TONIGHT.

I'LL MAKE A RESERVATION.

HEY, LEO.

THE WITNESS ON THE HOTEL PERSHING HOMICIDE.

I SAW HIM, UH, KILL CATHY.

LINEUP'S IN 20 MINUTES.

ALL RIGHT, HEY, YOU MAKE YOURSELF COMFORTABLE, OKAY?

- THIS WAY. - WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?

THEY JUST TOLD ME THAT I COULD GO,

NOW YOU'RE ARRESTING ME.

WHAT IS IT WITH YOU GUYS ANYWAY, HUH?

- LESTER? - YEAH.

AAH!

DON'T SHOOT ME!

WHERE'S THE DAMN KEY?

SEAL THE BUILDING.

NOBODY GETS OUTTA HERE UNTIL WE HAVE STATEMENTS.

FRANK.

FRANK, WITNESS HAS HIM IN A CREAM-COLORED SEDAN

HEADING WEST ON DECKER.

RAY, RAY.

- A.P.B., ANY PLATES? - ONLY PARTIAL.

- WHAT WAS IT? - ALPHA, NINER, SEVEN

ARE THE FIRST THREE DIGITS.

ALL RIGHT, DESCRIPTIONS TO THE FBI AND THE STATE PATROL.

- DEPLOY AT THE AIRPORT... - GURNEY, COMING THROUGH, LOOK OUT!

COME ON, MOVE IT, MOVE IT!

GIVE US SOME ROOM.

COME ON, I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU.

CLEAR IT UP, PLEASE!

NINE PEOPLE MAKE IT A COP.

NO BADGE NUMBER, NO INSIGNIA.

IT WAS A PROFESSIONAL HIT, CAPTAIN.

THE GUY GOES INTO A PARTY STORE, HE COPS A UNIFORM...

GET STATEMENTS, JD.

CLEAR IN HERE, PLEASE!

OH, MY GOD!

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

HENRY, I WENT ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE HEIGHTS

TO FILE THE ROBBERY COMPLAINT, BUT THEY SAID YOU NEVER CAME IN.

I TOLD THEM I'D DO THE PAPERWORK HERE.

COULDN'T YOU HAVE TOLD ME THAT AT THE MEMORIAL SERVICE?

- LINEUP'S READY, LIEUTENANT. - I AM VERY SORRY, FAY.

IT JUST COMPLETELY SLIPPED MY MIND.

LOOK, WE'RE A LITTLE BIT JAMMED UP, HERE.

HENRY, HENRY, I KNOW IT'S A MADHOUSE,

BUT ALL I NEED IS TWO MINUTES, I THINK WE OUGHTA TALK.

YEAH, YEAH, I'LL CALL YOU LATER, OKAY?

I DON'T SEE HIM.

NUMBER THREE, STEP FORWARD PLEASE.

NO, THAT'S NOT HIM.

TAKE YOUR TIME.

I KNOW THAT AIN'T HIM.

NUMBER FOUR, STEP FORWARD.

NO, NO, HE DIDN'T LOOK ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

IT'S NOT HIM.

THE GUY'S NOT UP THERE, I'M POSITIVE.

YOU RELEASE?

NO, WE'RE CHARGING,

NARCOTICS POSSESSION AND ASSAULT.

WE'LL CROSS-COMPLAIN, FALSE ARREST, AND BRUTALITY.

NO I.D. ON THAT HOTEL PERSHING MURDER SUSPECT, WRONG GUY.

THEN LET'S GET PEOPLE BACK TO THAT AREA.

RAY, WE FOUND THE STOLEN SEDAN, 116TH AND FREDERICK

WITH A POLICE UNIFORM STUFFED UNDER THE SEAT.

- OUR HIT MAN. - MUST HAVE SWITCHED CARS.

ANY DESCRIPTION? ANY WITNESS AT THE SWITCH?

NO, WE'RE CANVASSING.

SERGEANT, THE MENDLEY SHOOTER

ABANDONED THE CAR AT 116TH AND FREDERICK.

OKAY, I'LL PUT IT UP.

AND PUT ANY AVAILABLE UNIFORMS

BACK ON THE HOTEL PERSHING PERIMETER.

WE DON'T HAVE ANYBODY LEFT, LIEUTENANT,

I'LL HAVE TO CALL THE HEIGHTS.

I PICKED UP THE CALL ON MY CAR RADIO.

YOU GOTTA GIVE HIM MARKS FOR VIRILE PLUMBING, FRANK.

GO AFTER THE GUY IN A POLICE STATION

IN BROAD DAYLIGHT!

- EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL? - NOTHING'S UNDER CONTROL!

I HAVE TO KNOW WHAT YOUR PLAN IS.

WHAT PROPOSAL YOU'RE GONNA MAKE TO JUDGE CRUZ,

FRANK, I ASKED YOU TO TRUST ME ON THIS ONE.

OR AREN'T YOU GONNA MAKE ANY PROPOSAL AT ALL?

YOU GONNA WANDER IN THERE AROUND 3:00,

HEM AND HAW ABOUT NOT HAVING ENOUGH TIME,

AND LET JUDGE CRUZ OPEN UP ALL THE CELLS?

FRANK, PUT MICHIGAN AVENUE RIGHT,

THAT'S A $5 MILLION JOB.

BERNSTEIN'S GOT A MILLION AND CHANGE.

NOW, I'M GONNA GET THE MONEY TO FIX THAT PLACE

- ONCE AND FOR ALL. - HOW?

BY LETTING PERPETRATORS ROAM THE STREETS

SO YOU CAN DRAMATIZE A FISCAL SHORTFALL IN BLOOD?

DO YOU WANT A RIOT?

FRANK YOU HAVE GOT TO MOBILIZE

THE PUBLIC'S WILLINGNESS TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM.

PLEASE, TRUST ME.

- CANDY? - ESTERHAUS.

WE'RE ALL OARS IN THE SAME BOAT, FRANK.

GET ME IRWIN BERNSTEIN.

JOE.

IS THERE SOME PLACE WHERE WE COULD TALK?

I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO TALK TO SOMEBODY

WHO UNDERSTANDS YOUR PROBLEM.

I HAVE.

THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT.

I WAS JUST AT THE RAPE CLINIC.

- YEAH? - YEAH.

I'M GOING TO BE GOING THERE FOR A WHILE.

THAT'S GOOD.

THE LADY I'VE BEEN SEEING THERE REALLY KNOWS HER STUFF.

AND SHE TOLD ME THAT SOMETIMES

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU LAST NIGHT

SOME MEN REACT THAT WAY.

LOOK, I FEEL LIKE ENOUGH OF A JERK ALREADY,

YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL THE WHOLE WORLD.

JOE, SHE'S MY THERAPIST.

LOOK, WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS

IF WE'RE GONNA...

I FEEL THAT MAYBE I WAS...

I FEEL MAYBE I WASN'T BEING FAIR.

AND IF WE'RE GONNA WORK THIS OUT BETWEEN US,

WE'VE GOT TO WORK IT OUT TOGETHER.

SANDY, I'M NOT SURE HOW I FELT LAST NIGHT

IS GONNA CHANGE THAT EASILY.

JOE, I DON'T WANT TO BE WITH A MAN

WHO FEELS LIKE I'M DAMAGED GOODS EITHER.

BUT I THINK THAT CAN CHANGE,

AND I' WILLING TO CHANCE IT.

ARE YOU?

YEAH.

SO, UH, JOEY, I THOUGHT MAYBE

WE COULD SEE EACH OTHER A LITTLE LATER TONIGHT?

WHAT?

WHAT IF I, UH, YOU KNOW, STILL CAN'T?

DON'T YOU WORRY.

IT'LL HAPPEN WHEN IT HAPPENS.

AND WHAT IF IT DOESN'T?

WE'LL WORRY ABOUT IT THEN.

IS THAT YOU TALKING OR YOUR THERAPIST?

THAT PART'S ALL ME.

I REALLY CARE FOR YOU, JOE.

I WANT US TO TRY.

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO TRY, YOU JUST TELL ME, I'LL GO.

NO, NO, DON'T.

I MEAN, I WANT TO. I WANT TO SEE YOU TONIGHT.

I THINK WE GOT A SHOT, JOE.

AT LEAST WE'VE GOT THAT MUCH.

SLOW DOWN, PAL, YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS

ANY OF THESE POTHOLES.

I THINK YOU BETTER CALL DARYL ANN,

TELL HER IT'D BE A GOOD NIGHT TO HAVE A HEADACHE.

THANKS A LOT, BOB.

I'M STANDING ON DEATH'S DOOR WITH MY FINGER ON THE BELL

AND YOU'RE CASTING DISPERSIONS ON MY MANHOOD.

AH.

WHAT'S THAT?

OH, COME ON, THERE'S A KILLER ON THE LOOSE,

YOU DON'T WANT TO BE WRITING NO TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS.

LOOKS LIKE A RENTAL.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE WATCH THE BRAKES, PLEASE.

WATCH THE BRAKES.

THIS IS AWFUL.

I'VE NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT BEFORE.

LISTEN, I'VE GOT ALL THE PAPERS THAT ARE NECESSARY.

- GIVE YOU MY NAME AND ADDRESS. - THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

NO, NO, I DON'T NEED YOUR ADDRESS.

- WELL, ARE YOU SURE? - I'M SURE, THE CAR'S FINE.

WHY DON'T WE JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT?

CAN I HAVE BOTH YOUR LICENSE AND REGISTRATION PLEASE?

OFFICER, THAT WON'T BE NECESSARY.

THE WOMAN AND I CAN WORK IT OUT BETWEEN OURSELVES.

- HERE YOU ARE. - THIS IS A RENTAL CAR, SIR.

THE COMPANY REQUIRES A POLICE REPORT.

- ALSO, LET ME HAVE... - OH, ALL RIGHT.

I'LL GET THE PAPERS OUT OF THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT.

OFFICER, IT'S MY FAULT.

- CURRENT ADDRESS, MA'AM? - YES, IT IS.

- HEY! - I KNOW THE RENTAL CAR'S...

HEY, BUD! HEY, STOP!

THIS IS 2202 IN PURSUIT OF A POSSIBLE STOLEN VEHICLE.

BEIGE IN COLOR,

WESTBOUND ON COPE AND 115TH STREET.

2202, WE COPY.

ROGER, 1503.

GO, GET ON HIS BACK, MAN.

WHOA, MAN. THIS IS HURTING ME, PAL.

GOD BLESS YOU, MAN.

SLIDE, MAN!

RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT!

STRONG LEFT, STRONG LEFT.

HE'S GOT A GUN!

NORTH SIDE OF DECKER AND 136TH.

WE HAVE A SUSPECT DOWN.

WE NEED AN AMBULANCE HERE IMMEDIATELY.

WE CAN'T KEEP PRISONERS MORE THAN A MONTH IN AN ARMORY,

I DON'T CARE HOW MANY PORTA POTTIES WE BRING IN.

JUDGE, THE ARMORY'S ONLY STEP "A"

TO GIVE US A LEG UP ON STEP "B."

WHICH IS THE MICHIGAN AVENUE RENOVATION.

CORRECT.

WHICH YOU DON'T YET HAVE FUNDING FOR.

WE'VE GOT 1,100,000.

FOR A $5 MILLION JOB.

PLEASE, JUDGE, WE ARE MAKING A GOOD-FAITH EFFORT.

AND I AM TOO, MR. BERNSTEIN.

ONLY I HAPPEN TO TAKE SERIOUSLY THE PROPOSITION

THAT PEOPLE ARE INNOCENT 'TIL PROVEN GUILTY.

SO WHEN I TOUR A DESPERATELY OVERCROWDED

AND UNDERSTAFFED MICHIGAN AVENUE AND I SEE HUNDREDS OF MEN...

WHO HAVE BEEN ARRESTED FOR CRIMES.

BUT WHO ARE NOT YET CONVICTED OF ANYTHING, SIR.

EXCEPT MAYBE BEING TOO POOR TO MAKE BAIL.

AND WHEN I SEE THE PHYSICAL BRUTALITY,

THE UNSANITARY AND INDECENT CONDITIONS

BROUGHT ABOUT BY THIS OVERCROWDING...

CAPTAIN, MAY I ASK YOU WHAT LIFE WAS LIKE

IN YOUR STATION HOUSE THIS MORNING?

INTOLERABLE.

THAT'S WHAT THE MEN IN THE MICHIGAN AVENUE COMPLEX

HAVE BEEN LIVING LIKE EVERY DAY.

JUDGE, WOULD YOU RATHER INCARCERATE

THE ENTIRE CITIZENRY OF MY PRECINCT?

NO.

WELL, THE PEOPLE LIVING ON THE HILL

ARE EVERY BIT AS TRAPPED BY POVERTY

AS THOSE MEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

AND TO HAVE THEM ENDANGERED

IN THE CONDUCT OF THEIR NORMAL LIVES,

I MEAN, TO TURN MY PRECINCT INTO ONE BIG BLOATED JAIL

IN WHICH THE INNOCENT ARE ENTRAPPED

ALONG WITH THE LAWLESS...

THAT CLEARLY WAS NOT MY INTENTION, CAPTAIN...

BUT THAT'S THE RESULT!

MY HOMICIDES AND RAPES HAVE DOUBLED.

AND THIS MORNING, A 14-YEAR-OLD GIRL WAS MURDERED

IN ONE OF THOSE STREET KIDS FLOP HOUSES

THAT WAS LITERALLY INUNDATED BY PAROLEES.

I MEAN, NOT TO MENTION THE HIT MAN

WHO WAS ABLE TO COMMIT A MURDER

RIGHT INSIDE OUR OWN STATION HOUSE.

I LOVE THIS. I LOVE THIS CRITICISM.

CRUZ FINDS INHUMANE CONDITIONS, SO CRUZ IS A BIG SOFTIE.

THE MINORITY SOFTIE.

DON'T JUST BLAME THE RELEASES ON CRUZ,

BLAME THE OVERCROWDING TOO.

BLAME SOME HIT MAN ON CRUZ.

'CAUSE CRUZ HAPPENS TO REMEMBER

THE U.S. CONSTITUTIONAL PROHIBITION

AGAINST CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENTS.

JUDGE, I'M NOT QUESTIONING YOUR RECORD,

AND I UNDERSTAND YOUR NEED TO PROTECT THE PRISONS,

BUT PLEASE KNOW THAT YOUR VICTORY

ON MICHIGAN AVENUE IS MY DEFEAT ON THE HILL.

CHIEF, IN THE COMING DAYS,

CAN I EXPECT YOUR GOOD-FAITH SUPPORT

AND ADVOCACY FOR MICHIGAN AVENUE FUNDING?

OF COURSE, JUDGE.

AND IF I STATE MY ORDER TO RELEASE,

THERE WILL BE NO SUBSIDING IN YOUR EFFORT

TO RAISE THIS REMAINING 3.9?

NONE, WHATEVER.

WELL, I'M CERTAINLY NOT OPPOSED TO COMPROMISE.

SHALL WE GO THROUGH SECTION "B" AGAIN, GENTLEMEN,

ON THE ASSUMPTION, SAVE A TWO-WEEK GRACE PERIOD

WITH THE JACKSON ARMORY PRESSED INTO USE?

CONGRATULATIONS, MEN.

PULLED A LITTLE FAST ONE ON ME, DID YOU, FRANK?

ALL OARS IN THE SAME BOAT, CHIEF.

ALL PULLING IN THE SAME DIRECTION.

SPEAKING OF WHICH, LET ME LIGHTEN YOUR LOAD SOME.

TAKE THAT MENDLEY THING OFF YOUR HANDS.

ADMITTEDLY, I HAVE A SPECIAL INTEREST IN THE CASE.

IT'S ALSO A PRACTICAL FACT

THAT YOU CAN'T PUT THE HORSES THE DIVISION CAN

ON THIS SORT OF INVESTIGATION.

TRUE.

I'LL HAVE PROPERTY TRANSFER THOSE TAPES DOWNTOWN.

YEAH, WELL, UH, THERE'S PROBABLY NO TRUTH

TO THOSE THREATS HE MADE ANYWAY.

WHO?

MENDLEY.

HE PROBABLY DOESN'T REALLY HAVE COPIES OF THOSE TAPES.

COPIES?

PROBABLY JUST BLOWING SMOKE.

HILL AND RENKO WERE IN A SHOOTOUT.

- ARE THEY ALL RIGHT? - THE GUY'S DEAD.

THEY'VE I.D.'D HIM AS THE MENDLEY SHOOTER.

PRO OUT OF ROCHESTER.

I'M CROSSCHECKING WHITNEY'S LISTS.

SEE IF MAYBE SHE HAD A JOHN FROM UPSTATE NEW YORK.

UH, NO, HENRY.

- WE'RE OFF THIS ONE. - WHAT?

CHIEF WANTS DIVISION TO HANDLE IT.

- HE'LL BURY IT! - NO, IT'S NOT POSSIBLE.

THERE'S TOO MUCH MEDIA COVERAGE.

BESIDES, DO WE HAVE SIX DETECTIVES

TO PUT ON TWO HOMICIDES?

OF COURSE NOT.

LOOK, HENRY,

WHITNEY BARNES IS DEAD, LESTER MENDLEY'S DEAD,

THE GUY WHO KILLED THEM BOTH IS DEAD.

WHATEVER HAPPENS, THIS CASE DOESN'T MAKE ON THE HILL.

YEAH.

- BUT I... - BUT?

I LIKED HER, WHITNEY.

WELL, I'D LIKE TO SEE US GET UP TO SPEED

ON THIS, UH, HOTEL PERSHING HOMICIDE, OKAY?

NOTHING WHEN WE RESUMED THE PERIMETER SEARCH.

FOUND THE GIRLS NAME ON A RUNAWAYS LIST.

I DON'T THINK THAT ONE'S GONNA MAKE ON THE HILL EITHER.

- LIEUTENANT. - HI.

EVERYONE'S TALKING ABOUT YOU

DOWN AT THE P.D.'S OFFICE, FURILLO.

OH, ANYTHING WORTH REPEATING?

THEY THINK YOU'RE OKAY.

ME TOO.

- TO WHAT? - HOTEL WARWICK.

I'LL HAVE TO MEET YOU THERE.

FURILLO...

I... WE HAVE ESTERHAUS' SCATTERING.

- WHAT TIME? - 11:00.

WHAT I HAD IN MIND WON'T TAKE THAT LONG.

JOE, I OWE YOU AN APOLOGY.

WHICH ONE?

WELL, I FOUND OUT THAT THIS MEMO

CAME OUT OF DIVISION THIS MORNING.

IT'S ABOUT MY PROMOTION. 6:00 A.M. IT CAME OUT.

ANYBODY COULD HAVE SEEN IT AND JUST PASSED THE WORD ALONG.

SO?

SO, I'M SORRY, AND I ACTED LIKE A JERK.

FORGET IT.

HOW DO YOU LIKE IT SO FAR?

CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT.

ARGH!

ALL RIGHT, THAT'S IT!

ONE PRISONER AT A TIME GOES OUT TO THE BUS!

ALL OTHER PRISONERS STAY CUFFED OR IN A CELL.

PEYSER, JACKSON, I WANT MORE UNIFORMS UP HERE

TO HELP OUT THE KHAKI OFFICERS.

BOOK THIS MARONE ON OBSTRUCTING!

- GET UP. - TO ALL PRISONERS,

IF THERE IS ANY MORE TROUBLE HERE AT ALL,

I'M GONNA TACK ON AN OBSTRUCTING.

THAT'S 30 DAYS EXTRA FOR SURE.

THAT'S IT.

YEAH.

HEY.

I, UM...

I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU YOU JUST DID A GOOD JOB, SARGE.

THE FISH WAS TERRIFIC, THANK YOU.

SO.

REALLY TAKING KARATE LESSONS, HUH?

WELL, I'VE BEEN MUGGED TWICE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH WANTING TO DEFEND YOURSELF?

MAYBE NOT TRYING SAVED YOUR LIFE.

OR MAYBE NEXT TIME I WON'T BE SO LUCKY.

YOU KNOW, AT LEAST WITH THE KARATE,

I'LL HAVE THE OPTION.

BESIDES, I... I KIND OF LIKE IT, YOU KNOW?

AND IT MAKES ME FEEL SEXY.

GREAT, YOU CAN CRUNCH A BRICK IN BED.

THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING YOU'D SAY

FIVE YEARS INTO A BAD MARRIAGE.

SORRY.

IT'S JUST THAT I FEEL LIKE EVER SINCE WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER,

YOU'VE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE ME

INTO SOMETHING I'M NOT.

I DON'T LIKE IT.

I'M NOT TRYING TO CHANGE YOU.

OKAY.

BUT THE FACT IS, AND YOU KNOW THIS,

EVERY TIME WE START TO MAKE LOVE,

SOMETHING IN YOUR HEAD GOES CLICK,

AND SUDDENLY YOU'RE A MILLION MILES AWAY.

YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I'M ALONE IN THE BED.

YOU KIDDING, THERE'S YOU, THERE'S ME,

THERE'S RACHAEL, FRANK, FOUR KIDS.

I MEAN, IT'S A COMPLEX NEGOTIATION

JUST TRYING TO FIND A PLACE TO GO TO BED TOGETHER.

AND THEN WHEN WE DO DO IT, WE NEVER SEEM TO GET TO IT.

I MEAN, AFTER... AFTER GETTING PAST KIDS KNOCKING ON THE DOOR

LOOKING FOR A GLASS OF WATER,

OR BABIES NEEDING TO BE FED.

I FEEL SICK, I FEEL ANGRY AND TIRED,

AND THE LAST THING I FEEL IS SEXY.

HENRY, WE ARE ADULTS.

WE BRING ADULT BAGGAGE TO OUR RELATIONSHIP.

DO NOT LECTURE ME, FAY.

ALL I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU

IS THAT AFTER A LOT OF YEARS OF BEING A GOOD GUY,

A GOOD FRIED, A GOOD HUSBAND,

ALWAYS TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT THE OTHER PERSON NEEDS,

I'M BEGINNING...

TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE

SELFISH ABOUT WHAT I NEED.

AND WHAT I NEED

IS FOR THINGS TO BE A LOT EASIER.

YOU WANT EASY?

TRY A PROSTITUTE.

OH, BOY.

YOU'RE REALLY FIXATED ON THAT.

DIDN'T YOU?

THAT WAS JUST A FANTASY.

I MEAN, IF YOU WANT REAL LIFE, I'M YOUR GIRL.

BUT IF YOU WANT A FANTASY...

COME ON, FAY.

IT'S NOT THAT EASY, AND YOU KNOW IT.

I HAVE MY BAGGAGE.

I HAVE MY STRETCH MARKS.

I AM TOO OLD TO START APOLOGIZING

FOR WHAT I CAN'T CHANGE.

WHAT DO WE DO NOW?

I DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE WE OUGHT TO...

NOT SEE EACH OTHER FOR A WHILE.

SOUNDS RIGHT TO ME.

♪♪

IF IT'S SO RIGHT,

WHY DO I FEEL SO LOUSY?

SORRY.

THIS EVERYONE?

HOWARD?

WE HAVE LARGE AGGREGATE PARTICLES HERE, FRANK,

WITH A HIGH ADHESION FACTOR.

WE MAY HAVE A PROBLEM GETTING A UNIFORM DISTRIBUTION.

WHAT'S HE TALKING ABOUT?

- SARGE IS A LITTLE GRITTY. - OH.

PUTTING HIM IN THE STREET LIKE THIS,

I DON'T KNOW.

IN THIS CITY, THE COP BELONGS IN THE STREET.

IT'S HIS HOME.

RAY.

GOODBYE, PHIL,

MY GOOD FRIEND.

I DON'T KNOW, PHIL.

UH...

KEEP IN TOUCH.

LEO.

NO, NO.

HOME IS THE SAILOR,

HOME FROM THE SEA, PHIL.

AND THE HUNTER...

HOME FROM THE HILL.

SO LONG, SARGE.

PHIL.
