WHERE'S STAN JABLONSKI?

AND WHAT IS STAN JABLONSKI

22 YEARS AT POLK AVENUE

DOING DAY ONE AT HILL STREET?

LET'S BE REALISTIC.

MAYBE THREE OR FOUR OF YOU HAVE HEARD RUMORS.

LET ME TELL YOU ONE THING.

STAN JABLONSKI NEVER COLD-COCKED NO WOMAN.

OKAY?

THAT'S IT.

I MEAN, JUST ASK YOURSELVES,

IF JABLONSKI ASSAULTS A FEMALE SUPERIOR OFFICER

WITHOUT ADEQUATE PROVOCATION,

WOULD HE BE STANDING HERE BEFORE YOU NOW,

OR WOULD HE BE UP ON CHARGES?

IN WHICH CASE

WHAT YOU COULD'VE BEEN HEARING

BE A LOT OF LIES AND PROVOCATIONS

SPREAD BY A TROUBLED INDIVIDUAL,

WHO HAPPENS RIGHT NOW TO BE ON PSYCHIATRIC LEAVE,

IN ORDER TO ASSASSINATE JABLONKSKI'S 29-YEAR CAREER?

OKAY.

ITEMS...

YOUR NEW STREET SERGEANT, SERGEANT B...

NO, LET'S GET IT OUT IN THE OPEN ONCE AND FOR ALL,

AND THEN IT'S QUITS WITH THIS.

THE FACTS ARE...

AFTER SEVEN YEARS CONTINUAL PROVOCATIONS

AND NON-STOP SLURS,

LIEUTENANT VERA HORVATH

ON JABLONSKI'S SECOND TO LAST DAY AT POLK AVENUE

AND NOTE, THIS IS AFTER HE HAD ALREADY PUT IN

FOR HIS TRANSFER,

LIEUTENANT VERA HORVATH CALLS HIM OUT

IN FRONT OF A TOTAL STATION HOUSE,

"COME ON, JABLONSKI,

LET'S FINALLY SEE WHAT YOU GOT."

"LIEUTENANT," SAYS JAB-O,

"NO IFS, ANDS, OR BUTTS,"

BUT THEN WHO'S OUT THERE IN FRONT OF THE PRECINCT HOUSE

WAITING FOR HIM WHEN HE GOES OUT

AND STEPS IN FRONT OF HIM...

WHEN HE TRIES TO WALK AROUND...

HEY, WHAT'S SO FUNNY BACK THERE?

THAT'S ENOUGH.

BUT THIS YOU CAN TAKE TO THE BANK.

WITH JABLONSKI, IF WE GO,

WE DON'T GO MARQUIS OF QUEENSBURY.

SO YES, LIEUTENANT HORVATH INITIATED THE CONTACT,

AND YES, I DELIVERED HER ONE TO THE CHOPS,

BUT NO, I NEVER COLD-COCKED HER.

STAN JABLONSKI NEVER COLD-COCKED NO WOMAN.

OH, MY LORD. HEAVEN HELP US.

GOT A LITTLE BLOOD PRESSURE.

ITEMS...

BEFORE OUR FEMALE CONTINGENCY GETS ALL HET UP,

SERGEANT BATES IS RETURNING TO MOTOR PATROL DUTY

OF HER OWN FREE WILL.

FILLING THE SERGEANT SLOT

CREATED BY ADDING THE JEFFERSON RENEWAL

TO THE HILL STREET PRECINCT.

RIDING WITH HER IS GOING TO BE OFFICER COE-FFEY.

COE-FFEY?

COFFEY.

UH, COFFEY.

IT'S, UH, SECTOR CHARLIE.

- ITEM TWO... - GOING IN, AM I YOUR PARTNER OR YOUR DRIVER?

PARTNER.

INDIAN SUMMER HEAT WAVE. SAYS CRIME GOES UP WHEN IT GETS HOT.

ITEM THREE, THE MAN'S VICTIM'S PILOT PROGRAM

INCLUDES HILL STREET AS OF TODAY.

AND WE SHARE COUNSELOR WITH THE OTHER PRECINCT.

NOW, THEY CATCH CASES OFF THE PAPERWORK,

SO IT'S EXTREMELY IMPERATIVE

THAT COPIES OF THE 6-12 GREENS,

THE 9-14 SALMONS

GET ROUTED TO THEM THROUGH THE... THROUGH THE KHAKI OFFICE.

ITEM FOUR,

OPERATION FREE BAG BEGINS OPERATION THIS A.M.

DETECTIVES BELKER,

LaRUE,

WASHINGTON,

THEY'RE GOING TO BE UNDER COVER

IN OUR LOCAL FIVE-STAR HOTEL,

THE HOTEL STRATFORD.

KEEPS A ROOM DOWN THERE, SARGE.

THE OBJECT IS TO LOCK UP THE FENCES,

HOOKERS, JUNKIES, ETC.,

WHO'VE MADE THIS PLACE THE CRIME HUB OF NORTH DEKKER,

SECOND POSSIBLE OBJECT,

CLOSE THE WHOLE TOILET DOWN.

ITEM FIVE,

TO ALL PERSONNEL,

FROM CAPTAIN FURILLO,

AS YOU KNOW, CONVICTED RAPE-MURDERER CELESTINE GREY

IS SCHEDULED TO BE EXECUTED

TOMORROW EVENING.

VARIOUS LAWYERS AND INVESTIGATORS REPRESENTING HIM

MAY BE MAKING LAST MINUTE INQUIRIES

REGARDING MATTERS OF RECORD IN THIS CASE.

PLEASE BE COOPERATIVE.

FLASH. I GOT A NOTE HERE.

OFFICER RENKO.

YES, SIR, THAT WOULD BE ME, SERGEANT.

I UNDERSTAND YOU COULD BE EXPECTING TO BE WITH CHILD TODAY.

OKAY!

ALL OTHER UNITS, YOU BE PREPARED TO BACK HILL AND RENKO UP

OKAY?

THAT'S IT. LET'S GET OUT THERE.

LET'S DO IT TO THEM BEFORE THEY DO IT TO US.

HEY! HEY! HEY! DON'T FORGET.

STAN JABLONSKI NEVER COLD-COCKED NO WOMAN.

HEY, LEO, DID YOU DO SOMETHING TO YOUR HAIR?

MAYBE.

IT'S REALLY GREAT YOU'VE LOST ALL THIS WEIGHT.

THANKS.

BUT YOUR HAIR LOOKS LIKE YOU COMBED IT WITH A TIRE PUMP.

WILL YOU LOOK AT THIS?

"WE, THE UNDERSIGNED,

"APPROACH THIS BARBARIC ACT

OF STATE MURDER..." YADDA, YADDA, YADDA,

"INCLUDING LIEUTENANT HENRY GOLDBLUME."

NOW, YOU TELL ME HOW A RANKING OFFICER...

FREE SPEECH, RENKO.

THERE'S STILL A CONSTITUTION.

YEAH, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT IT CONSTITUTES.

IT CONSTITUTES A LACK OF VIRILE PLUMBING

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED.

ANYBODY ELSE?

GO AHEAD, TAKE A SHOT.

I HAVE NEVER EXPRESSED INTEREST IN RETIREMENT.

WHY DO THEY SEND ME SUCH A LETTER?

THEY MUST NO LONGER CONSIDER ME PROMOTABLE.

MID-LIFE CAREER SWITCH IS ALL THE RAGE, RIGHT?

MAYBE YOU'LL CATCH THE WAVE.

DETECTIVE GARIBALDI AND MAYO,

ROBBERY-ASSAULT IN THE VICINITY IN THE 2400 BLOCK OF METRO.

VERA, WE'RE QUITS.

ARMED ROBBERY IN PROGRESS.

EASTERN FRONT DOOR CORNER PEOPLE'S DRIVE...

IT'S A MESS.

WHAT DO WE HAVE?

TERRORIZED THEM 6 3/4 HOURS,

TIED THEM UP, RANSACKED, MADE THE WIFE WATCH

JAMES PARSONS, AGE 73, WITH A CHAIR.

THEN HE SHOT HIM IN THE NECK AND ABDOMEN

WIFE OF JAMES.

WE HAVE ANY DESCRIPTION?

MALE CAUCASIAN, 5'7",

DARK BLUE OR BLACK PANTS,

CUT OFF SWEATSHIRT,

20, MAYBE 25.

SOUNDS LIKE HE WAS ON DUST.

VICTIM'S GOING TO MAKE IT?

WOMAN'S GOT A BRUISED RIB. SHE'LL BE OKAY.

HUSBAND'S CRITICAL AT MERCY.

LOOKS LIKE TOUCH AND GO.

THROUGH IN THE KITCHEN, DETECTIVE.

WHAT ABOUT THE FRIDGE?

NOTHING BUT PRUNES AND STUFF.

HE'S BEEN HERE ALL NIGHT.

IF HE GOT HUNGRY, HE TOUCHED ALL THAT STUFF.

OKAY.

GREAT WAY TO START A DAY, HUH?

GOOD WORK, PATSY.

THANKS.

CAPTAIN.

STAN, WELCOME.

WHAT'S WITH THE EYE?

OH, A LITTLE INCIDENT, CAPTAIN.

OTHER ONE WORKS JUST FINE.

IT'S GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE.

ON THE SENIOR ASSAULT,

MERCY SAYS THE BULLET GOT THE OLD GUY'S SPINE.

- APB OUT? - PLUS THE 45.

ALL RIGHT, AS MUCH MANPOWER AS POSSIBLE.

AUTHORIZE TWO DETECTIVE UNITS. KEEP ME POSTED.

YES, SIR.

FRANK, YOU SEEN THE PAPER THIS MORNING?

DAMN RIGHT I DID.

INTERESTED IN MY SIDE OF IT?

HENRY, IF YOU DON'T MIND,

I'D LIKE TO HAVE MY OWN WORD WITH THIS REPORTER FIRST.

FRANK, FRANK, MAY I TALK TO YOU A MINUTE?

YOU SEEN THIS PAPER, RAY?

NO, NOT YET.

I WANTED TO ASK YOU ABOUT THIS LETTER

I GOT FROM DIVISION.

"ANATOMY OF AN EXECUTION...

"CELESTINE GREY CASE AND ITS IMPACT ON THE PEOPLE INVOLVED.

"GREY'S EXECUTION DATE

"WAS FINALLY SET ONE WEEK PRIOR.

"THE MARRIED COUPLE

"WHOSE PROFESSIONAL LIVES

"HAVE TAKEN THEM TO OPPOSITE POLES ON THE CASE

FURILLO AND HIS PUBLIC DEFENDER WIFE DAVENPORT SEPARATED."

NOW, HOW COULD HE PUT THOSE TWO THINGS TOGETHER?

HE HASN'T TALKED TO EITHER ONE OF US.

I DON'T KNOW, FRANK.

IF I COULD TALK WITH YOU FOR A MINUTE, PLEASE.

EXCUSE ME ONE SECOND, WOULD YOU PLEASE, RAY?

CERTAINLY, FRANK.

- HI. - HI, FRANK.

RAY'S GONNA BE PICKING UP MY CASES TODAY.

- WHO'S THAT? - NEW PD.

DON'T EAT HIM FOR LUNCH, OKAY?

I'M BURIED WITH LAST-MINUTE STUFF ON CELESTINE.

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS?

I DID.

THAT'S CHEAP SHOT, THE STUFF ABOUT US, DON'T YOU THINK?

I GUESS MAYBE THERE WAS A GRAIN OF TRUTH IN IT.

JOYCE, CELESTINE GREY ISN'T THE REASON WE SEPARATED.

NO, HE ISN'T.

3:00 THIS MORNING I COULDN'T REMEMBER WHY WE DID.

WHAT WERE YOU DOING UP?

THINKING ABOUT MY CLIENT.

MISSING YOU.

WANNA HAVE DINNER?

AFTER TOMORROW NIGHT.

WHENEVER.

AFTER WILL BE BETTER, OKAY?

FUNNY, WE'VE GOT PEOPLE WORKING IN THREE STATES,

A SHOT AT THE SUPREME COURT TODAY,

AND I'M MAKING ALL MY PLANS ON THE ASSUMPTION

THE POOR BASTARD'S GOING TO BE GONE.

STOP! STOP!

THE MAN WITH THE CART!

STOP RIGHT NOW! STOP!

- WHOA. - GOOD DAY, OFFICER. IS THERE A PROBLEM?

WHAT'S ALL THE ICE FOR?

I'M HAVING A PARTY FOR MY MOTHER.

IT'S HER BIRTHDAY.

SO HE EMPTIES MY ICE CHEST,

AND THEN HE GOES PAST THE CHECKOUT DOING ABOUT 30.

DID YOU PAY FOR THE ICE?

WHAT IS ICE? WATER. RIGHT?

DO YOU PAY FOR WATER IN A RESTAURANT?

- WHAT ARE YOU, CRAZY? - ALL RIGHT.

TAKE IT EASY. NOW, TELL ME HOW MUCH YOU CHARGE FOR THE ICE.

- 75 CENTS A BAG - AND IT'S MELTING WHILE WE'RE TALKING HERE.

- OKAY, 75 TIMES... - THAT'LL BE 20 BAGS HERE.

- OKAY, TWO TIMES 75... - $15.

- I DON'T HAVE THE TIME. - HEY, HEY.

HOW MUCH DO YOU HAVE?

$1.50.

ALL RIGHT, PAY THE LADY.

HERE, HAVE A PARTY.

HEY. HEY, WAIT A MINUTE. WHAT IF I WANT TO PRESS CHARGES?

DON'T PUSH IT, LADY, HUH?

YOU WANNA STAND HERE? IT'S GONNA ALL MELT. ALL RIGHT?

THE GUY MENTIONED THE PARSONS ASSAILANT.

ALLEY.

SUSPECT'S HEADED NORTHBOUND FREELAND ALLEY.

IN PURSUIT.

GET UP AGAINST THE WALL!

MOVE!

HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING, MAN?

TURN AROUND. TURN AROUND.

ATTEMPTED MURDER.

HEY, I DIDN'T MURDER ANYBODY, MAN.

SOMETIMES YOU GET YOUR DERELICTS CONGREGATING IN HERE

AS OPPOSED TO YOUR WELFARE BUMS,

WHICH, BY AND LARGE, ARE YOUR MAIN TRADE.

LEARN TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE THEM THE HEAVE-HO.

- OKAY. - YOUR MAIN PROPOSITION'S A SIMPLE PROPOSITION.

THEY PLUNK DOWN THE NINE BUCKS.

YOU GIVE THEM A KEY, A TOWEL,

TURN ONE OF YOUR ALARM CLOCKS ON,

PUT IT IN A CUBBY HOLE.

WHEN THE ALARM GOES OFF, YOU CALL THEM.

ANYBODY GIVE YOU A HARD TIME,

DON'T MESS AROUND.

YOU GOT A CARRY PERMIT?

YEAH, I USED TO BE A NIGHT WATCHMAN.

OKAY. IF TONY HAD USED THIS, HE WOULDN'T BE DEAD

AND YOU WOULDN'T HAVE THIS JOB.

WHACK 'EM ACROSS THE NOSE IF YOU HAVE TO.

- YOU WITH ME SO FAR? - OH, YEAH.

- WHAT WAS THAT? - WHAT?

THAT GROWL. THAT WAS GOOD. I LIKE THAT.

DO THAT AGAIN.

TRYING TO TELL YOU,

YOU GOT A DEAD CORPSE UP ON THE STAIRS THERE.

WHERE?

ON THE FOURTH FLOOR.

NOT AGAIN.

DEAD. GOOD-BYE.

GRAB HIS FEET.

WHY?

'CAUSE I SAID TO. THAT'S WHY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

YOU GOING TO GIVE ME A HAND OR WHAT?

MR. RIKERS, YOU CAN'T JUST THROW...

HOW MANY YEARS YOU BEEN RUNNING THIS PLACE ANYWAYS?

I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO LIKE IT.

NO, NO, NO, THIS... THIS AIN'T RIGHT.

THIS IS A DEAD JUNKY. OKAY?

NOT ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

A DEAD JUNKY IN ONE OF MY ROOMS

WITH COPS, MEDICAL EXAMINERS,

IS THREE HOURS OUT OF MY LIFE,

PLUS TWO DAYS I LOSE THE ROOM.

PLUS IT HURTS MY STATUS WITH THE WELFARE DEPARTMENT.

A DEAD JUMP IN THE ALLEY IS 20 MINUTES MAX.

THIS IS THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS.

KID, TAKE MY WORD, THE FALL AIN'T GONNA HURT HIM.

SO NATHAN SAYS WE CAN TAKE THESE STUDS...

HEY. HEY!

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

NOTHING.

LET'S SEE WHAT YOU GOT HERE, ROLAND.

YOU HAVE A DEATH IN THE FAMILY?

KIND OF IN A HURRY. OKAY?

BILL AND A HALF, BRO.

TWO BILLS. I NEED TWO.

FEEL THAT.

THAT FEEL A LITTLE HOT TO YOU?

OW.

OKAY.

BILL AND A HALF. NOW, LET'S GO.

OKAY, BRO.

CHEER UP, ROLAND. PEOPLE ARE STARVING IN EUROPE.

HEY, YOU WANNA BE ON OUR MAILING LIST?

ROLAND MAXWELL. STOLEN GOODS RECEIVED.

I WANT TO TALK TO A DETECTIVE.

ABOUT WHAT, MA'AM?

CELESTINE GREY DIDN'T KILL THAT NUN.

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

SOME OTHER DUDE KILLED THE NUN.

CELESTINE WAS WITH ME.

WOULD YOU COME WITH ME, MA'AM, PLEASE?

THANK YOU.

I WAS WITH CELESTINE THAT WHOLE NIGHT.

TAMARA, SISTER ANNA WASN'T MURDERED AT NIGHT.

IT WAS MORNING.

ALL NIGHT AND ALL MORNING.

DON'T TRY NO TRICKS ON ME.

WHAT WAS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH CELESTINE?

WE LIVED TOGETHER.

WHY DID YOU WAIT TILL NOW TO COME FORWARD?

BECAUSE WE HAD A FIGHT.

HE STOLE FROM ME, AND I WAS MAD,

BUT I DON'T WANT HIM TO DIE.

TAMARA, ARE YOU ALSO KNOWN AS TAYA COLLINS?

WHAT'S THAT?

TAYA COLLINS, OR TAYA CONWAY.

EITHER ONE.

TAYA.

YEAH, MAYBE SOME PEOPLES ON THE STREET.

WHY IS THAT?

BECAUSE TAYA COLLINS

TOLD THIS SAME STORY

TO ASSISTANT D.A. BERNSTEIN

BEFORE TRIAL.

HE DIDN'T BELIEVE YOU

BECAUSE YOU WERE SERVING A 90-DAY SENTENCE

IN THE WOMEN'S HOUSE OF DETENTION

WHEN SISTER ANNA DIED.

I WASN'T IN JAIL THEN.

NO WAY.

NO, SIR.

WELL, WHY SHOULD ONE OF THEM LIVE AND THE OTHER ONE DIE?

THAT AIN'T FAIR.

NO WAY THAT'S FAIR.

YOU'RE ALL GONNA LIVE.

WHY DOES CELESTINE GOT TO DIE?

CAN I HELP YOU, MA'AM?

I'M LOOKING FOR SERGEANT BATES.

SERGEANT BATES IS BACK ON THE STREET.

I'M SERGEANT JABLONSKI.

OH, WELL, I'M WITH THE VICTIMS AID BUREAU.

FAY FURILLO.

YES, MA'AM, MRS. FURILLO.

I GOT THE MEMO RIGHT HERE.

YOU THINK YOU COULD SHOW ME TO A DESK?

I SEE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE SPLITTING YOUR TIME

WITH POLK AVENUE.

THAT'S CORRECT. COULD I...

I DON'T KNOW WHETHER YOU'VE BEEN DOWN TO POLK AVENUE YET, MA'AM,

BUT I JUST CAME FROM THERE,

AND A PERSON COULD HEAR THINGS ABOUT AN INDIVIDUAL THERE

THAT WOULDN'T NECESSARILY BE TRUE.

I DON'T WANT TO GO INTO IT.

I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT IN EVERY SITUATION

THERE'S MY STORY, HER STORY,

AND THE TRUTH.

MY STORY'S THE TRUTH.

SO. OKAY?

OKAY.

LISTEN, REALLY, ALL I REALLY WANNA DO

IS PUT THESE BOOKS DOWN ON A DESK.

FAY, HI, WE'VE BEEN EXPECTING YOU.

HI.

I'LL FIND THAT DESK FOR YOU NOW, MRS. FURILLO.

OH, THANK YOU.

I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES.

WELL, WHEN THE FUNDING RAN OUT FOR THE UNWED MOTHERS PROGRAM,

THE MAYOR WAS KIND ENOUGH

TO SLIDE ME RIGHT OVER HERE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WELL, IF ANYBODY'S QUALIFIED,

I'D SAY YOU ARE.

COUPLE OF MUGGINGS, THREE ARRESTS.

THAT'S NOT EXACTLY WHAT I MEANT.

CAPTAIN, WE'VE GOT MRS. PARSONS ON THE LINE FOR YOU.

- THANKS. - LISTEN, FRANK.

I THOUGHT LONG AND HARD BEFORE TAKING THIS,

AND THERE'S ONE THING I WANT TO GET STRAIGHT,

RIGHT FROM THE START.

THIS JOB IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME,

NOT JUST BECAUSE IT'S A LIVING,

BUT BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I CAN MAKE A CONTRIBUTION AS WELL.

BUT I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND

THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY ON EARTH

THAT I AM GOING TO INTRUDE IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE.

OUR PATHS DON'T EVEN HAVE TO CROSS.

I APPRECIATE YOU SAYING THAT, FAY.

YOU KNOW, THE HILL'S BEEN WAITING FOR THIS PROGRAM FOR FIVE YEARS,

AND I THINK YOU'RE AN EXCELLENT CHOICE FOR THE JOB.

- THANK YOU. - WELCOME.

BY THE WAY, I READ THAT PIECE IN THE PAPER THIS MORNING.

HOW ARE THINGS BETWEEN YOU TWO?

TURN TO YOUR LEFT.

TURN BACK CENTER.

MRS. PARSONS, CAN YOU IDENTIFY ANY OF THESE MEN?

CAN I... CAN I HEAR THEM SPEAK?

MY CLIENT WON'T CONSENT TO VOICE,

NOT WITHOUT A COURT ORDER.

I... I HAVE CATARACTS.

I'M SORRY.

CAPTAIN, WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH THE SUSPECT?

BOOK HIM ON POSSESSION AND CHECK OUT HIS ALIBI.

FRANK, HOW YOU DOING?

DID JOYCE TELL YOU?

PD'S OFFICE HIRED MY AGENCY

ON CELESTINE GREY.

DON'T GET ME WRONG. I THINK THE GUY'S A STINKER.

BUT WORK'S WORK. RIGHT?

THE JOB'S COMING AWAY, JERRY.

I MEAN, THE GUY DOESN'T DESERVE TO LIVE,

BUT IT WOULD BE FUNNY

IF DUKE SECURITY SERVICE SAVED IT FOR HIM.

WOULDN'T IT, FRANK?

VERY FUNNY, JERRY. EXCUSE ME.

JUST A MINUTE, MRS. PARSONS. THEN WE'LL BE OUT OF HERE.

OKAY, LEO, HERE'S STOLEN GOODS A.

JUNKIE'S NAME IS PHIL.

VIDEO TAPE A GOES WITH IT.

HERE'S B. NAME OF ROLAND MAXWELL, VIDEO TAPE B.

FROM THE HOTEL STRATFORD?

- MM-HM. - THEY GOT A REGULAR SWAP MEET GOING ON OVER THERE.

SET OF CANDLEHOLDERS.

LOTS OF BRASS.

WHAT'S THIS HERE?

A MEDAL OF SOME KIND.

IT'S A SILVER STAR FROM WORLD WAR II.

- LET ME SEE. - YEAH?

MY DAD HAD A PURPLE HEART.

EXCUSE ME, PLEASE.

WHAT DOES IT SAY?

SORRY?

WHAT YEAR?

1943.

OH, MAY I SEE IT, PLEASE?

SURE.

PATSY, WANNA CHECK THIS?

FIND SOMETHING?

IT'S JAMES'.

THIS IS JAMES'. WHERE DID YOU GET IT?

GOT IT AT THE STRATFORD.

THAT MAN TOOK THIS FROM MY HUSBAND.

WHAT'S THE DEAL?

OUR ROBBER ASSAULTED PARSONS.

LOOK, IF WE GET THE BOOKS ON, YOU RECOGNIZE THIS JUNKY?

PIECE OF CAKE. ROLAND MAXWELL.

YO, HARRY. YOU PICK HIM UP, OKAY?

- WE WON'T BLOW OUR COVER. - YEAH, NO PROBLEM.

SOMEONE PLEASE TAKE ME BACK TO THE HOSPITAL.

WE CAN DO THAT, MA'AM.

I DON'T KNOW, BOBBY.

YOU CAN ATTEND ALL THEM BREATHING CLASSES,

READ ALL THEM BOOKS AND MAGAZINES AND PAMPHLETS

GO TO ALL THEM MOVIES, HEAR TESTIMONIALS

FROM PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THIS AND THAT,

BUT IT STILL TURNS OUT TO BE

JUST THE MAMA AND THE BABY DOING ALL THE WORK.

YOU'RE A BIG PART OF IT, THOUGH. RIGHT?

I MEAN, YOU'RE THE COACH.

COACH. YEAH, BUT ON THE DAY OF THE BIG GAME,

IT'S THE PLAYERS GOTTA GO OUT AND KICK BUTT.

US COACHES, WE JUST SORT OF WALK THE SIDELINES OF LIFE.

YOU'LL DO FINE.

YEAH.

BOBBY, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE AWARE OF THIS,

BUT THERE IS A CERTAIN POINT

DURING THE BIRTHING PROCESS

WHEN IT BECOMES INCREDIBLY MESSY.

OOH.

I GOT THE WARRANT. LET'S GO.

- HOLD IT RIGHT THERE! - WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?

WE HAVE A WARRANT FOR YOUR ARREST.

ATTEMPTED MURDER.

- SHUT UP... - HEY, PAL!

MIRANDIZE HIM.

HEY, WHAT'S IN HERE?

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT.

IF YOU GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT...

HEY, MAXWELL!

HEY, PAL.

JESSE.

- WE GOT HIM? - WE GOT HIM.

TEN BUCKS SAYS THIS DID THE OLD MAN.

BOBBY, WE'RE GOING TO NEED FORENSICS.

HARRY, THIS LOOKS LIKE A CONNECTING DOOR.

SO WHAT?

WELL, IT'S KIND OF EMPTY IN HERE. ISN'T IT?

IT LOOKS LIKE IT MAY BE A DIFFERENT APARTMENT.

HEY, MAX WHERE DOES YOUR APARTMENT END?

- THIS YOUR APARTMENT? - I WANNA SEE MY LAWYER.

- IS THIS YOUR APARTMENT. - I WANNA SEE MY LAWYER.

WANTS TO SEE HIS LAWYER.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

MAY JUST HAVE AN ACCESS.

MAYBE IT'S ANOTHER...

514. WARRANT SPECIFY THE APARTMENT NUMBER?

515. DAMN IT.

COULDN'T USE THE GUN IN THIS.

NO, NOW, IF RIGHT NOW I PICK UP THE GUN

AND I KICK IT INTO 515.

BRILLIANT, HARRY.

THAT'S PERJURY PLUS HE SAW US, MR. LEGAL BEAGLE.

WE HAD A MISUNDERSTANDING EARLIER.

WHAT'S THAT?

THE ARTICLE IN THE PAPER.

I THOUGHT YOU MEANT ME AND JOYCE.

OH, NO, THE PETITION ON CELESTINE.

I SIGNED IT HENRY GOLDBLUME, FRANK.

I DIDN'T PUT LIEUTENANT DOWN.

- WHO DID? - BEN SIGNED ME UP.

OBVIOUSLY I DIDN'T EXPECT HIM TO EXPLOIT IT.

I'D SAY THAT WAS PRETTY NAIVE OF YOU.

YOU GETTING HEAT FROM DOWNTOWN?

NOT YET BUT I WILL.

YOU'LL GET A REPRIMAND, AND THAT'S APPROPRIATE.

WHY?

BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF POLICY, HENRY.

BECAUSE IT MAKES IT LOOK

AS IF THE COPS WHO DIDN'T SIGN THE PETITION

ARE IN FAVOR OF CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

NOBODY'S PERSUADED ME THE DEATH PENALTY'S

ANY KIND OF CIVILIZED INNOVATION,

BUT I DON'T FIGURE MY BADGE IS THERE TO PROP UP PERSONAL OPINIONS

OR TO MAKE POLITICAL STATEMENTS.

IT'S NOT A MUZZLE EITHER.

IT'S NOT A MUZZLE,

AND IT'S NOT A MEGAPHONE.

RIGHT. RIGHT.

CAPTAIN. JUST GOT BALLISTICS ON MAXWELL'S GUN.

IT'S A DEFINITE MATCH OF THE BULLET THAT SHOT JAMES PARSONS.

CAN'T USE IT.

WHAT IF WE CAN PROVE WE'D HAVE FOUND THE GUN ANYWAY WITHOUT A WARRANT?

HOW?

I MEAN, GOOD. GO AHEAD AND TRY.

WHERE DO WE STAND WITHOUT THE WEAPON?

WE GOT THE GOODS THAT MAXWELL SOLD TO WASHINGTON.

S.I.D.'S OVER AT MAXWELL'S APARTMENT.

THEY'RE GOING THROUGH EVERYTHING LOOKING FOR FIBERS.

TESTING FOR GUNSHOT RESIDUE

OFF MAXWELL'S HAND.

THAT'S A LOT, BUT I DON'T LIKE OUR CHANCES.

WHAT'S THE HUSBAND'S CONDITION?

CRITICAL. STILL UNCONSCIOUS.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S RIDE HERD ON S.I.D.

GET HOLD OF ERWIN BERNSTEIN.

MAKE APPLICATION FOR A VOICE LINE UP.

RIGHT. I GOT IT.

EXCUSE ME, CAPTAIN.

A REPORTER ASKING FOR YOU.

SAYS YOU CALLED HIM. STU HENLEY?

WOULD YOU ASK HIM TO WAIT IN LINE-UP, PLEASE?

YES, SIR.

I'M REALLY SORRY ABOUT THIS.

IT'S ALL RIGHT. JUST FILE IT UNDER...

IT'S NOT A PERFECT WORLD.

THIS GUY SHOULD GO AWAY.

YOU MAY GET HIM THERE YET.

EXCUSE ME.

MERCY CALLED.

PARSONS IS LOUSY, BUT HE'S CONSCIOUS.

LET'S GET A PHOTO ARRAY OVER THERE.

IF YOU DIDN'T TALK TO HER DIRECTLY,

WHERE DID YOU GET THE IDEA THAT OUR SEPARATION

HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS CASE?

CAPTAIN, FORGIVE ME.

I DIDN'T SUGGEST ANY DIRECT CONNECTION.

IT WAS PURELY A STATEMENT OF FACTS

ABOUT TWO PEOPLE WHO STOOD ON OPPOSITE SIDES.

PURELY NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS.

ARE YOU SAYING THAT A COP

WHOSE WIFE IN AN ADVERSARIAL POSITION

DOESN'T HAVE TO COPE WITH A HELL OF A LOT OF PROBLEMS

OTHER COPS DON'T HAVE?

NO, MR. HANLEY, I'M NOT SAYING THAT.

WHAT I'M SAYING IS... WHAT I'M ASKING

IS THAT MY PERSONAL LIFE

NOT BE SPECULATED ON BY YOU OR ANYBODY ELSE

FOR THE PURPOSE OF SELLING NEWSPAPERS.

ALL DUE RESPECT, CAPTAIN,

I USE THAT AS A CRITERION

EVERY TIME I SIT DOWN TO WRITE A STORY,

- I CAN'T DO MY JOB. - WHAT CRITERION?

WHETHER WHAT I WRITE IS GOING TO IMPINGE ON SOMEBODY'S PERSONAL LIFE.

CAPTAIN, MY APOLOGY FOR ANY CONTEXTUAL INACCURACIES IN THE STORY,

BUT I REALLY THINK YOU'VE OVER-REACTED.

EXCUSE ME.

SCOTT PETERMAN, REPORT TO OPHTHALMOLOGY.

DR. SCOTT PETERMAN.

MRS. PARSONS?

HE'S GONE.

JAMES IS GONE.

I'M SO SORRY.

IT... IT'S BETTER.

HE WOULD'VE BEEN A CRIPPLE.

JAMES COULD NOT LIVE LIKE THAT.

SO REALLY IT... IT'S BETTER.

DON'T YOU THINK SO?

OH, GOD.

LISTEN, BABY.

SHOW THAT LITTLE MAN WHAT A LOSER HE IS.

YOU JUMP IT.

YEAH, LOOK AT YOUR WIFE JUMP.

AROUND YOUR LEGS. JUMP IT OVER THE ROPE.

COME ON, JUST LIKE THAT.

JUMP IT.

FOLKS ALL RIGHT?

THEY TOOK OUR CAR.

THEY TOOK OUR LUGGAGE.

THEY TOOK ALL OF OUR MONEY.

THOSE KIDS.

NO, OTHER ONES.

THEY TOOK EVERYTHING.

WE WERE LOOKING FOR THE CIVIC CENTER.

WE GOT OFF ON THE WRONG INTERSTATE EXIT.

WE STOPPED TO ASK DIRECTIONS.

THEY JUST PUSHED US OUT OF THE CAR AND DROVE AWAY.

WHY DON'T WE JUST GET IN THE CAR AND GET OUT OF HERE?

WHAT KIND OF CAR WAS IT?

GEE, IT WAS A RENTAL. I-I REALLY CAN'T REMEMBER

THE LICENSE NUMBER... IT UH, WAS METALLIC BLUE.

IT WAS GRAY!

WE'RE FROM OUT OF TOWN.

WE FIGURED THAT.

NEVER, NEVER AGAIN.

- DISPATCH. - NEVER AGAIN WILL I TAKE A POLICEMAN FOR GRANTED.

- AMEN. AMEN TO THAT. - A GRAY, LATE-MODEL SEDAN.

- YOU COPY? - HEY, UH, I'M DAVE FIMPEL.

- AND THIS IS MY WIFE, SARA. - HOW ARE YOU?

YOU KNOW, THE CRIMINAL ELEMENTS UP HERE

REALLY ARE CARNIVOROUS ON FOLKS LIKE YOU.

SHE MEANS YOU LOOK A LITTLE OUT OF YOUR NATURAL HABITAT,

- SO TO SPEAK. - OH! YEAH.

WE'RE FROM ROCHESTER, NEW YORK. WE'RE ON OUR WAY BACK HOME

FROM THE IN-LAWS IN PHOENIX.

DAVE, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO? WE DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY.

I DON'T KNOW. DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, SWEETHEART.

I'LL CALL DENNIS. HE'LL WIRE US SOME FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.

AND IN THE MEANTIME? ALL WE'VE GOT IS THE CLOTHES ON OUR BACKS!

THAT'S NO PROBLEM, MA'AM. WE HAVE A VICTIM'S AID PROGRAM.

THEY'LL PUT YOU UP FOR THE NIGHT AND GIVE YOU MEAL MONEY.

ASSIST IN PURSUIT OF TRUCK LICENSE INX 478,

VICINITY OF 125th AND DEKKER, REPORTED STOLEN AT THIS TIME.

YEAH, VICTOR '03 RESPONDING.

LOOK AT THAT! SOMEBODY STOLE AN ICE CREAM TRUCK.

HANG ON!

- ALL RIGHT? - OH, SURE. FINE. NO PROBLEM.

IT'S FINE.

- GET OUT OF THE TRUCK! - GET OUT.

- DON'T LOOK BACK AT ME. - WE SAID, GET OUT OF THE TRUCK, NOW!

WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE TROUBLE, OFFICER?

HEY, IT'S THE NUT BALL WITH THE ICE.

THIS IS A MISTAKE. WE COULD TALK ABOUT IT LATER, I...

- ON TOP! - OW! OW.

POSITIVE FOR A STOLEN TRUCK, I'M PUTTING YOU UNDER ARREST FOR SUSPICION.

BOBBY, WHERE ARE WE GOING TO GET SOME NICE...

- POPSICLES? - ALL RIGHT, YEAH.

STOP!

HEY, LISTEN, JERKO. IF YOU TRY THAT AGAIN, MAN,

THEN YOUR ICE IS GONNA MELT FAST! YOU GOT THAT?

IT'S NOT ENOUGH, IS IT? NO, THE POWER'S GOTTA GO OUT,

THE ICE HAS GOTTA MELT, AND IF MOTHER HASN'T HAD ENOUGH EXCITEMENT FOR ONE DAY...

- IS THAT THE IDEA? - WHAT'S HE TALKING ABOUT?

HE'S NUTS. PUT HIM IN THEIR UNIT.

PLEASE! PLEASE, PLEASE. NO! YOU WANT CRIMINALS?

YOU WANT A CRIMINAL? 15 BARS SLAM ON THE CRIMINAL.

HE'S THE CRIMINAL! FAILING TO PAY THE ELECTRIC!

YOU THINK THIS WAS AN ACCIDENT?

HE NEVER LIKED MY MOTHER. NEVER!

NEVER WAS CIVIL TO HER, NOT IN TEN YEARS!

WHAT FLAVORS DO I GET TO SEE?

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, IS THIS FAIR, GUYS?

OPEN IT UP, RENKO.

ANYBODY WANT SOME MOMSICLE?

OH, MY GOD!

BILLY?

- I'M GOING TO REACH ELLEN. - ALL RIGHT, YOU GO TAKE CARE OF HER.

I'LL CATCH A RIDE WITH COFFEY.

CONTROL YOURSELF. GET YOUR HANDS UP FRONT!

HEY, HOW GOES THE THIRD WORLD RAT RACE?

I DON'T KNOW, HOWARD.

WHAT DO YOU SAY TO A WOMAN WHOSE HUSBAND'S MURDERED

AFTER 40 YEARS OF MARRIAGE?

I KNOW SHE'S DEAD! DO YOU THINK I'M CRAZY?

THE KEY TO CRYOGENICS IS FREEZING THE PHYSICAL BODY

UNTIL THE CURE IS FOUND FOR THE CAUSE OF DEATH.

- SHE HAD A CRUSHED SKULL. - OF COURSE, YOU IDIOT.

THAT'S BECAUSE I HIT HER WITH A SKILLET.

- GIVE YOU MIRANDA, ROLAND? - I'M WAITING FOR MY LAWYER.

YOU'LL GET YOUR LAWYER. THEY GET BACKED UP.

- USUALLY TAKES ABOUT AN HOUR. - SO FADE AWAY.

PAUL, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE MIRANDA RULING.

MIRANDA JUST MEANS YOU DON'T HAVE TO TALK TO ME.

DOESN'T MEAN I CAN'T TALK TO YOU.

YOU CAN'T ASK ME QUESTIONS, DIG?

WHO'S ASKING QUESTIONS? I'M JUST DISCUSSING CURRENT EVENTS HERE.

LIKE, FOR INSTANCE, UH...

DID YOU KNOW THAT JAMES PARSONS DIED?

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS HEADLINE? "NUN-SLAYER DIES TOMORROW".

"TOMORROW, CELESTINE GRAY, A 22-YEAR OLD HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUT,

"CONVICTED LAST SUMMER OF THE RAPE AND MURDER OF A ROMAN CATHOLIC NUN,

"WILL BE THE 4th EXECUTION IN THE STATE SINCE AUGUST 1983.

"THERE ARE NOW 25 MEN AND ONE WOMAN ON DEATH ROW

IN THE STATE, ALL CONVICTED OF FIRST-DEGREE MURDER."

NO PLEA BARGAIN. BY CHOICE, I SUPPOSE.

"AND GRAY HAS TWO PREVIOUS FELONY CONVICTIONS."

- THAT'S FEWER THAN YOU, ROLAND. - OKAY. SHUT YOUR FACE!

I'M JUST DISCUSSING CURRENT EVENTS.

EVER SEE A MAN DIE IN THE CHAIR, HARRY?

- NO, SIR. I NEVER HAVE. - IT'S HORRIBLE.

IT'S LIKE THE DARK AGES. I MEAN, THEY SHAVE YOUR HEAD...

STRAP YOU IN. ALL THOSE WIRES...

ATTACHED TO ELECTRODES ATTACHED TO YOUR LEGS.

AND YOUR TEMPLES.

THEY SAY WHEN THE FIRST JOLT HITS, YOUR MUSCLES BULGE.

THE HAIRS ON YOUR ARMS GET SINGED...

TERRIBLE, ACRID SMELL.

THEY SAY YOU DON'T FEEL IT FOR VERY LONG. I DON'T KNOW, THOUGH.

YOU MURDERED HIM, ROLAND, AND WE CAN PROVE IT, EASY.

HOW IS THAT?

WITH FORENSICS. AND THE STOLEN MEDAL.

AND YOUR DESCRIPTION, AND THE CLOTHES THAT WE FOUND IN YOUR APARTMENT.

AND WHEN MRS. PARSONS HEARS YOUR VOICE.

AND WHY ARE YOU DRIVING ME, THEN?

BECAUSE THE HONEST-TO-GOD TRUTH HERE IS, ROLAND,

THAT I'M AGAINST CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

YOU HAVE AN HOUR IN WHICH TO CONFESS, OR THERE WILL BE NO PLEAS.

THEN YOU'RE GONNA DIE BY ELECTROCUTION,

STRAPPED IN, JUST LIKE CELESTINE GRAY.

- TALK TO MY CLIENT? - SURE. HE'S BEEN GREAT COMPANY.

BUT YOU BETTER GET HIM A BAG TO BREATHE INTO.

YEAH, I UNDERSTAND. SURE, IT'S THE BEST WE CAN DO, ISN'T IT?

OKAY, THANKS. YEAH. BYE-BYE.

WELL, DENNIS SAYS HI. THE BANK JUST CLOSED,

BUT HE'S GONNA WIRE US SOME MONEY AT THE TELEGRAPH OFFICE,

FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.

EXCELLENT. THINGS ARE LOOKING UP ALREADY.

NOW, WE HAVE ONE LITTLE PROBLEM.

NO BIGGIE. IT'S JUST THAT THE OPTIC CONVENTION'S IN TOWN,

AND... WELL, I'M SURE WE CAN FIND SOME PLACE WITH A VACANCY.

MISS FURILLO. YOU SEE THAT GUY SITTING OVER THERE?

HE HAD HIS MOTHER FROZEN IN AN ICE CREAM TRUCK.

SHE WAS DEAD AS A MACKEREL.

CAPTAIN, UH, CAN YOU SPARE A MINUTE?

SURE. COME RIGHT IN, STAN.

SIT DOWN.

- HOW'S IT GOING? - GOOD.

BUSY.

A WHOLE LOT TO LIKE, AND A FEW THINGS I'D LIKE TO CHANGE.

JUST MAKE THE SQUAD ROOM YOURS.

I APPRECIATE THAT VOTE OF CONFIDENCE, CAPTAIN.

WHICH MAKES THIS MORNING'S... LITTLE SITUATION...

ALL THE MORE EMBARRASSING.

I'M JUST GONNA SAY THIS ONCE.

WHAT HAPPENED THIS MORNING, WHICH, THANK GOD FOR SMALL FAVORS,

YOU WEREN'T HERE TO SEE, IS ONE OF THE ALL-TIME EMBARRASSMENTS OF MY LIFE.

I DON'T BELIEVE IN BRINGING THE PERSONAL LIFE INTO THE SQUAD ROOM,

AND I'LL TELL YOU THE TRUTH, CAPTAIN, I'M 54 YEARS OLD,

I GOT A PERSONAL LIFE THAT WOULD BORE THE CRAP OUT OF A TURTLE.

I GUARANTEE YA, IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

THAT'S GOOD, STAN, BECAUSE, TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH,

I THINK WE HAVE ENOUGH ACTION UP HERE AS IT IS.

IMAGINE, SIR. IMAGINE A WOMAN...

WANTING TO TAKE IT OUTSIDE LIKE THIS?

I'M NOT PROUD OF IT, BUT GOD HELP ME, I THINK

IT'S FINALLY QUITS BETWEEN US.

GOOD. IT'S GOOD, STAN.

YOU KNOW, IT'S A TRAGEDY.

WHEN AN OTHERWISE NORMAL PERSON, IN THIS CASE,

THIS VERA, WHO, BELIEVE ME, I DON'T EVEN LIKE TO CREDIT

BY USING THEIR NAME, WHEN THEY CAN'T CONTROL

THE SIMPLEST HUMAN EMOTION.

THE DAY MY WIFE DIED, MY HEALTH...

GOD REST HER BELOVED SOUL... I CONTROLLED MYSELF

BETTER THAN THIS PERSON.

NOT TO MENTION THE DAY I CUT OFF BLACKIE'S LEG

AND BELIEVE ME, THAT WAS NO TEA PARTY, NEITHER.

AH. ANYWAY, REST ASSURED, CAPTAIN,

YOU GOT NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. THIS SQUAD ROOM'S GONNA TICK ALONG,

JUST LIKE A WATCH. GOOD NIGHT, SIR.

UH, STAN, UH... TEN MORE SECONDS? PLEASE?

YES, SIR?

YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT BLACKIE.

YES, SIR. MY DOG.

DID I CORRECTLY UNDERSTAND YOU TO SAY THAT YOU...

CUT OFF HIS LEG?

FREAK ACCIDENT, SIR.

I WAS TRIMMIN' THE HEDGE IN THE BACK YARD?

AND THE PHONE RINGS. AND I TURN AWAY FOR TWO SECONDS...

BLACKIE HAPPENS TO LEAN IN,

AND HE LIFTS HIS LEG TO DO HIS BUSINESS...

THANK GOD IT WAS A CLEAN CUT, SIR.

- GEE, I'M SORRY. - OH. COUPLE OF YEARS,

THE POOCH IS HOPPING AROUND LIKE IT'S NOTHING.

IMAGINE, SIR. THE SECOND IT HAPPENS,

HE LOOKS UP AT ME WITH THOSE BIG, BROWN EYES,

- AND HE FORGIVES ME. - MAN'S BEST FRIEND.

THAT'S RIGHT. I CUT OFF HIS LEG,

HE TELLS ME HE LOVES ME.

THEN THERE'S THIS MUTT OF A BROAD...

PARDON MY FRENCH, MA'AM.

ROLAND MAXWELL IS IN THE PROCESS OF GIVING A FULL STATEMENT.

REALLY?

AFTER A FAIRLY FANCY INTERROGATION, I TAKE IT.

NO NEED FOR FLATTERY, COUNSELOR. JUST ORDINARY CLEVERNESS.

AT THE EXPENSE OF MY ASSISTANT.

COME ON, JOYCE. SPARE ME THE BEAUTIFUL DEFENDER

TELLING THE POLICE CAPTAIN HE'S "WAY OUTTA LINE."

IT'S OLD. IT'S BEEN PLAYING SO LONG, I KNOW IT BY HEART.

- NICE. THE COP SPEAKETH. - IT'S WHAT I AM.

YOU KNOW YOU COERCED THAT CONFESSION.

YOU COULD LOSE IT.

I'LL TAKE MY CHANCES.

OH, HOLD UP THERE. YOU THE GENTLEMEN IN ROOM 306?

- WHO'S ASKIN'? - NAT RIKERS. I MANAGE THE DUMP.

YAHOO.

HANG ON, IT AIN'T SO BAD.

YEAH, I BEEN IN WORSE.

YEAH, LISTEN. MIND IF I ASK YOU A QUESTION?

NOT AT ALL.

SO, WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOIN' WITH BUSINESS ON THE PREMISES?

LIKE WHAT?

COME ON, COME ON. YOU'RE DOIN' STOLEN GOODS.

WORD HAS IT YOU GOT A SERIOUS BANKROLL.

- SO? - WELL, I'M ONLY SAYIN' THIS 'CAUSE I HEAR THINGS.

WHICH COULD BE OF MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL INTEREST.

WHAT KIND OF THINGS, MR. RIKERS?

DEPENDING ON YOUR LEVEL OF INTEREST,

CERTAIN THINGS... WHICH I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE INTO...

I DON'T KNOW THE SCALE OF YOUR OPERATIONS.

WE DON'T HAVE TO MINCE WORDS, RIKERS,

YOU'RE TALKING SMACK, SODA? WHAT?

'CAUSE IF YOU GOT A BUCK TO TURN HERE,

- WE CAN MOBILIZE. - YEAH?

- SPEAK. - I GOT SOME FRIENDS HAD AN ARRANGEMENT,

AND THE BUYER FELL OUT... THEY GOT FOUR KEYS BOLIVIAN PINK.

- WHAT DO THEY NEED? - HUNDRED, HUNDRED AND A QUARTER.

POCKET CHANGE. YOUR PEOPLE ANXIOUS TO MOVE, WE'LL DO IT TOMORROW.

- YOU MAKE THE INTRODUCTIONS? - I'LL DO THAT.

- WHAT'S YOUR ACTION, CHIEF? - STANDARD TEN PERCENT.

- OUT OF THEIR END. - YEAH.

THIS IS GOOD. MIKE. 306.

MAKE SURE THESE GUYS GET PLENTY OF CLEAN TOWELS AND STUFF.

MORE ASHTRAYS.

HEY. HEY, BABY. I SAID, YOU GOT YOURSELF A BOY. NOT A GIRL.

CAN'T YOU TELL THE DIFFERENCE, HONEY? HMM?

HONEY, SHUT YO' FACE. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

JUST SO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GETTIN' INTO, SUGAR.

- SEE? - YOU LIKE THAT?

DID YOU LIKE THAT?

YOU LITTLE NOTHIN'! YOU LITTLE NOTHIN'...

- I'LL CUT YOU! YOU KNOW THAT? - GET HIM OFF!

GET UP! UP, UP, UP ON YOUR FEET!

OKAY! WHICH ONE OF THESE TWO INDIVIDUALS ARE YOU IN LOVE WITH?

THANKS FOR NOTHING!

WELL, UH, HERE WE ARE.

OH. THIS IS NICE.

VERY NICE.

- FRANK? - OH, RAY. DID YOU GET THE BUY MONEY

- FROM LaRUE IN WASHINGTON? - YES. I WANT TO GO OUT FROM THAT OPERATION.

- ON LaRUE'S AND WASHINGTON'S? - THEY NEED A SOUTH AMERICAN MONEY MAN.

LaRUE AND WASHINGTON NEED ME.

PLEASE, FRANK.

ALL RIGHT. CHECK WITH HENRY ON ASSIGNMENTS.

WE'LL SEE IF YOU FIT THE PROFILE IN THE MORNING.

GOOD.

- HI. - HI.

I HEAR ROLAND MAXWELL CONFESSED.

AND WE SCARED HIM.

EIGHT GUYS OUT OF TEN WOULD HAVE LAUGHED IN MY FACE.

MAYBE. ANYWAY, THANKS.

I FELT REALLY BAD ABOUT SCREWING UP THE WARRANT.

YOU DIDN'T SCREW UP THE WARRANT.

MY MIND TELLS ME THAT.

MY HEART SAYS, "PATSY, IF THAT GUY HAD WALKED..."

- YOU WHAT? QUIT? - DEFINITELY.

I'VE BEEN WATCHING YOU FOR SIX WEEKS.

CASE BY CASE, I'D SAY YOU'RE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN "GOOD" AND "GREAT."

- OKAY? - BEEN WATCHING YOU FOR SIX WEEKS TOO.

OH, THAT SOUNDS REAL BAD.

OKAY, LET ME START OVER.

UH, CAPTAIN, THE OTHER DAY, WHEN YOU HELPED ME GET MY CAR STARTED...

- DID YOU EVER GET JUMPER CABLES? - NOT YET.

GET JUMPER CABLES.

I MEAN, I'M TELLING YOU, REALLY. THAT OR A NEW BATTERY.

PROMISE. I WILL.

WHAT I WAS COMING TO WAS...

I KNOW IT'S AGAINST ALL THE UNWRITTEN RULES,

IT'S CERTAINLY AGAINST MAYO PERSONAL CODE 376-B,

BUT UM, YOU WERE SO NICE.

AND IT SEEMED LIKE THAT WASN'T EXACTLY IN A BUSINESS CONTEXT.

AND SO UM...

WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE DINNER WITH ME SOMETIME?

YES.

ALL RIGHT! I GOT AN ANNOUNCEMENT. I GOT A GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

ANNOUNCING THE ARRIVAL OF LAURIE ANN RENKO,

SEVEN POUNDS, FOUR OUNCES!

SHE WAS GIVEN A SLAP BY A SLIGHTLY MISSHAPEN MAN

ON FIRST APPEARANCE, BUT SHE IS HAPPY,

AND HEALTHY, AND OH-SO-BEAUTIFUL, JUST LIKE HER MAMA,

AND I JUST FELL ON MY FACE, AT THE SIGHT OF A SLIGHT FRACTURE TO MY PROBOSCIS.

LOOKS LIKE YOU BUSTED YOUR HONKER, TOO.

I BROKE UP WITH A GUY IN JULY.

WE WERE LIVING TOGETHER THREE YEARS.

ROUGH ONE?

- YEAH, PRETTY MUCH. - YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENS BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE.

JOYCE SAID ONCE, "LOVING EACH OTHER IS NO GUARANTEE

THAT YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE EACH OTHER HAPPY."

- SHE'S RIGHT, YOU KNOW? - THANK YOU.

I THINK PART OF IT'S THAT I WANTED THE MARRIAGE MORE THAN SHE DID.

PUSHED A LITTLE. PROBABLY SHE RESENTED IT.

- FELT I WAS HOLDING HER DOWN. - WERE YOU?

I DON'T KNOW. I THINK SHE THINKS I WAS.

YOU LONELY?

IT'S BEEN FOUR MONTHS.

THINK I'VE MADE A LOT OF MISTAKES HERE ALREADY.

BUT I LOOK AT YOU AND I SEE A MAN THAT'S TOO HARD ON HIMSELF.

ON ONE SHOULDER'S THIS GOOD ANGEL.

AND ON THE OTHER'S AN EVEN BETTER ONE.

ST. FRANCIS OF FURILLO?

DO YOU WANT TO GIVE YOUR ANGELS A NIGHT OFF?

MEANING?

WHAT I MEAN.

I'M SORRY.

NO, I'M SORRY.

I THOUGHT I WAS BETTER AT READING MEN.

YOU DIDN'T MISREAD ME.

IT'S JUST THAT WHAT I FEEL AND WHAT I DO ABOUT MY FEELINGS

ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.

I'M A MARRIED MAN.

- SEPARATED. - I'M A SEPARATED MARRIED MAN.

WHO HOPES TO BE BACK WITH HIS WIFE.

SHE MUST HAVE A LOT OF POWER.

SHE HAS. I USED TO THINK THAT ROBBED ME OF MY OWN.

BUT IT DOESN'T.

MAYBE THAT'S WHAT I'VE LEARNED IN THE LAST FOUR MONTHS.

GONNA SCREW UP OUR RELATIONSHIP?

NOT FOR ME.

I THINK YOU'RE SPECIAL.

I THINK THAT PERSONALLY AND I THINK THAT PROFESSIONALLY.

ONE KISS? SO WE BOTH KNOW WHAT WE'RE MISSING?

WE'VE GOT FIELD INVESTIGATORS WORKING,

AND WE FILED LAST-MINUTE PETITIONS WITH THE U.S. SUPREME COURT,

AND THE STATE SUPREME COURT,

AND WE HAVE A PERSONAL APPEAL TO THE GOVERNOR.

WHAT ABOUT THE PRESIDENT? WHAT COULD HE DO?

NOTHING. THE PRESIDENT'S NOT PART OF IT.

WELL MAYBE YOU CAN TRY HIM, AT LEAST!

CELESTINE, ON PLEA, THAT'S UH...

HE'S FEDERAL. THIS IS STATE.

TAMAR TRY THAT THING WITH THE COPS YET?

SHE DID COME IN. JUST LIKE SHE CAME TO ME.

REMEMBER WHEN I FILED THAT WHOLE PETITION?

NOTHIN', HUH?

A LIE'S A LIE, CELESTINE.

WHAT ABOUT THAT OTHER... WHAT I ASKED YOU FOR?

I'M TOLD THEY GIVE YOU VALIUM HERE.

YEAH, WHAT? TEN MILLIGRAMS?

TEN MILLIGRAMS, I COULDN'T GET MY THUMB TO SLEEP IF I WAS SITTING ON IT!

I'LL TRY.

SEE YOU TOMORROW, CELESTINE.

YOU JUST WALK HOME?

YOU JUST WALK? THINK I'M GOING TO SLEEP?

THINK WHAT I GOT TO DO TONIGHT!

THEY GONNA FRY ME, LADY.

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.

THEY'RE GONNA PLUG ME IN!

- TRY TO GET SOME SLEEP. - WHY?

- HELLO? - FRANK?

I'M SORRY, I KNOW IT'S LATE.

IT'S OKAY. ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

I'M JUST LEAVING HARRISVILLE.

IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT AN HOUR, BUT COULD I COME OVER?

SURE. I'D LIKE THAT.

SEE YOU IN A BIT.
