OF YOUR HATCHET JOBS.

I KNOW HOW IT'S
GOTTA LOOK, CAPTAIN.

WE WIND UP BETWEEN THE
SHEETS, AND HER HUSBAND

GETS WHACKED THAT SAME NIGHT.

SO YOU THINK
BUTTMAN DID THAT GIRL?

IF HE DID, YOUR SILENCE
HAS LET HIM GET AWAY WITH IT.

AND THAT'S A FELONY, JACK.

RANDALL BUTTMAN,
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.

JOE, WAKE UP. THERE'S
SOMEBODY DOWNSTAIRS.

LaRUE JUST KILLED SOMEBODY.

ANOTHER HOOKER KILLING IN
THE HEIGHTS YESTERDAY P.M..

SAME M.O. AS THE PREVIOUS FIVE.

EITHER THIS KOOK IS HEATING UP,

OR ELSE WE'RE STARTING
TO GET COPYCATS. WHATEVER.

EXPECT A RISE IN
HOOKER-RELATED VIOLENCE.

AS THE HIGH-TONED FEMALES ARE
GONNA BE MORE HEAVILY ARMED

AND LESS INCLINED TO INDULGE
THEIR CUSTOMERS' QUIRKS

THAN USUAL.

ITEM FIVE. WE HAD AN
OFFICER INVOLVED LAST NIGHT.

OUT OF PRECINCT. JOHN LaRUE,

WHILE OFF-DUTY, SHOT AND KILLED
AN ARMED BURGLARY SUSPECT.

EH, WITHOUT THE
PARTICULARS, DETECTIVE,

I'M SURE THE SHOOT
WAS JUSTIFIED.

KNOW THE ROUTINE.

I BELIEVE CAPTAIN FURILLO
WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU

ON HIS ARRIVAL.

IN THE WAKE OF ROOKIE
OFFICER LARRY SWAN'S SUICIDE,

ROOKIE OFFICER RANDALL BUTTMAN

THE PRECINCT WITH FLYERS

OFFERING 10% OFF
TANDOORI CHICKEN

OR ANY CURRY DISH
BETWEEN THE HOURS

DOES THAT INCLUDE YOUR MINTS?

YEAH, THAT INCLUDES YOUR MINTS.

BUT IT DOES NOT INCLUDE
YOUR ALREADY-DISCOUNTED

BUSINESSMEN'S SPECIAL...

WELL, ANYWAY,
WHOEVER'S TURNING A BUCK

LITTERING THE SQUAD
ROOM WITH THESE THINGS.

HOW ABOUT I DON'T WANNA
SEE ANY MORE OF EM?

COMMENCING NOW.

ITEM EIGHT.

RUMOR HAS IT THAT OUR
OWN OFFICERS RENKO AND HILL

ARE GONNA BE
FEATURED ON TV THIS A.M.

ON MORNING REPORT.

COFFEE AND AUTOGRAPHS
IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO.
LET'S GET OUT THERE.

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

WELL, WHAT, YOU ALL
MEDIA-STARVED THERE, RENKO?

I AM TELLING YOU, IF
THAT WOMAN DECIDES

TO CRUCIFY US ON TELEVISION,

WE CAN BEND OVER
AND KISS IT GOODBYE.

I HAVE GOOD REASON
TO BELIEVE THAT

NO ONE'S REPUTATION
GONNA BE UNDULY SCARRED.

HEY, YO, RENKO! CHECK IT OUT!

LET'S GO.

IS LYNN WILLIAMS.

ON OUR CONTINUING SERIES...

HEY, RENKO, CHECK THIS OUT.

WE FOCUSED ON THE
LESS-THAN-HARROWING LIVES

OF THOSE WHOSE DUTY IT IS
TO SERVE AND PROTECT US.

OUR MEN IN BLUE.

IN TWO DAYS OF HIDDEN
CAMERA SURVEILLANCE

THE INVESTIGATIVE ACTION TEAM

CAPTURED GRAPHIC FOOTAGE
OF OFFICER ANDREW RENKO

DISCHARGING HIS SWORN DUTIES

WITH SINGLE-MINDED
GASTRONOMIC...

WHERE DID YOU PUT THAT?

AS YOU CAN SEE
HERE, OFFICER RENKO

TOOK IN FAR MORE CALORIES
THAN THE CRIMINALS.

HEY, WHERE ARE YOU PUTTING
ALL THAT STUFF, RENKO?

WHEN CONFRONTED
BY THIS REPORTER?

OUR CONTRACT SPECIFIES

A MORNING COFFEE BREAK.

OH, COME ON. FOUR DONUT SHOPS

IN TWO AND A HALF HOURS?

HOW ELSE IS HE GONNA TELL?

MA. MA? MA?

HE'S A DOCTOR. HE
SEES 'EM ALL DAY LONG.

WOULD YOU FEEL
BETTER IF I CALLED HIM?

I CERTAINLY WILL.
I'LL CALL YOU BACK.

I LOVE YOU, TOO.

IT'S PROBABLY NOTHING.

ALL RIGHT. GOODBYE.

CHOCOLATE SWIRLS.
COMING OUT OF THE OVEN.

HEY, RENKO, WHAT'S
THIS? WHOO-HOO-HOO.

DON'T DO ME LIKE
THAT, JOE COFFEY.

DON'T YOU ALL DO ME LIKE THAT.

CAPTAIN. CAPTAIN?

I WAS ON THE TV THIS MORNING.

YEAH, I SAW.

THAT WOMAN TOOK A
CHEAP SHOT AT ME, CAPTAIN.

AND YOU REALLY GAVE
IT TO HER, DIDN'T YOU?

YOU MEAN BY EXPOSING
MY STOMACH AND ALL?

ANDY. IT VIOLATES UNIFORM CODE,

AND IT GIVES THEM FOOTAGE
ANYBODY WOULD USE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY'RE
GONNA DO TO ME NOW?

DEPENDS ON DIVISION.

JUST TURN YOUR LOG ENTRIES
OVER TO LT. CALLETANO.

- I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO.
- SURE.

J.D.?

SHUT THE DOOR.

I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW,
CAPTAIN, I KNOW HOW BAD...

NO, THIS IS "LaRUE LISTENS."

AND LISTEN CAREFULLY, BECAUSE
IT'S ALL YOU'RE GONNA GET.

I JUST CAME FROM MIDTOWN.

THE SHOOTING AT
CAROLINE REYNOLDS

IS BEING PURSUED AS
A POSSIBLE HOMICIDE.

JUSTIFIABLE, RIGHT?
THE GUY BROKE IN.

AS A POSSIBLE HOMICIDE.

CAPTAIN, I'LL PLEAD
FELONY BAD JUDGMENT

FOR GOING OVER
THERE, BUT SERIOUSLY...

I TOLD YOU NOT TO
GO BACK THERE, J.D.

RIGHT NOW, NOBODY'S SURE
WHETHER YOU WERE JUST STUPID

- OR A LOT WORSE.
- LOOK, CAPTAIN,

THIS WOMAN WAS RECEIVING
WEIRD PHONE CALLS.

I WENT OVER THERE
TO PROTECT HER.

- NOW, I'D LIKE ANYBODY TO...
- NO, NO MORE, J.D.

YOUR OLD FRIEND
SHIPMAN FROM I.A.D.

IS WAITING TO HAVE
A WORD WITH YOU.

EXCUSE ME. PLEASE.

I WANNA REPORT SOMEONE MISSING.

WHO'S MISSING, MA'AM?

MY CAT, BENTLEY.

A WHITE ANGORA. TODAY
IS HIS TENTH BIRTHDAY.

MA'AM, I THINK YOU
WANT THE CITY POUND

- OR THE HUMANE SOCIETY.
- BENTLEY IS NOT LOST.

HE WAS KIDNAPPED.

HE WAS WAITING FOR HIS BIRTHDAY
CAKE, AND THEN HE WAS GONE.

THE CITY POUND OR
THE HUMANE SOCIETY

ARE YOUR BEST BETS.
ALSO, MAYBE YOU COULD, UH,

POST SOME SIGNS AROUND
THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

BUT YOU'VE GOTTA DO SOMETHING.

I KNOW THAT YOU'RE UPSET, MA'AM,

BUT WE'RE VERY, VERY BUSY TODAY.

UH, YOU TRY THOSE TWO PLACES,
YOU SEE HOW THAT GOES, OKAY?

YOU'RE NOT BEING
VERY HELPFUL AT ALL.

YOU'RE AWARE OF
YOUR RIGHT TO COUNSEL.

YEAH.

AND YOU'RE WAIVING THAT RIGHT?

YES.

HOW ABOUT BEING A
GOOD GUY, SHIPMAN?

TELL ME WHAT THE
HELL'S GOING ON.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU
KNOWN CAROLINE REYNOLDS?

I TOLD YOU YESTERDAY.

TODAY'S A MURDER INVESTIGATION.

VERY FUNNY.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU
KNOWN CAROLINE REYNOLDS?

TWO DAYS. WHAT, THEY
THINK SHE SET SOMETHING UP?

WHAT'S THE NATURE
OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP

WITH CAROLINE REYNOLDS?

PERSONAL. LOVE.

COME ON, SHIPMAN. DO THEY
THINK SHE SET SOMETHING UP?

WAS THERE ANY
FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENT

BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU?

NO.

THREE STARS ON
HURWITZ' FOREHEAD.

THROWING BUTTMAN
BACK IN THE CLINK

SCARED THE HELL
OUT OF HIS LAWYER.

PLUS, I CONVINCED
HIM FURILLO'S GOT THIS,

FURILLO'S GOT
THAT, HE'S TWO STEPS

FROM A MURDER INDICTMENT.

- THEY'VE OFFERED TO PLEAD.
- TO WHAT?

- ASSAULT ONE IN THE SWANN CASE.
- WHAT KIND OF TIME?

THREE YEARS. THE EASY
KIND. MINIMUM SECURITY.

- ERWIN.
- DON'T... DON'T ERWIN ME, FRANK.

WHAT HAVE WE GOT ON THIS GUY?

INSTIGATING THE
RAPE OF LARRY SWANN?

YOU WANNA SELL A JURY A
FULL-GROWN MAN GETS RAPED?

- I DON'T.
- YOU DON'T BELIEVE BUTTMAN
MURDERED THAT PROSTITUTE?

WE HAVEN'T GOT A SINGLE
PIECE OF ADMISSIBLE EVIDENCE.

WELL THEN, GIVE
US TIME, DAMN IT.

ISN'T THAT WHY WE
ARRESTED HIM AGAIN?

GIVE YOU TIME, AND
THE HORROR STORY

I JUST FED THEM UNRAVELS
LIKE A SINGAPORE SUIT.

ALL RIGHT. JUST TODAY, THEN.

HENRY'S ALREADY ON IT.

GOT WITNESSES TO
CHECK. AND BUTTMAN.

THE DAY.

TALK ON YOU LATER.

HEY, SLICK.

- RONNY?
- YEAH, I GO TO HAND IT
TO YOU, MAN.

YOU PLAYED IT REAL NICE.

ALL THE CHEAP MUSIC.

"BE RIGHT WITH YOURSELF, RONNY"?

BE A RIGHT COP. BE
A RIGHT BROTHER.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT, RONNY.

WHAT YOU GET OUT
OF IT, WASHINGTON?

YOU GET YOURSELF A PROMOTION?

- OUT OF WHAT?
- OUT OF GETTING US FIRED!

FIRED?

WE'RE ALL FIRED. SUSPENDED
CONTEMPLATING DISMISSAL.

ARE YOU TELLING ME
YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT?

THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU KNOW WHY I DON'T
BELIEVE YOU, NEAL?

BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN SO
STRAIGHT WITH ME UNTIL NOW.

IS IT TRUE? GARFIELD'S FIRED?

ALL THE ROOKIES WHO
WERE AT THE INCIDENT.

BUT GARFIELD GAVE 'EM BUTTMAN?

AFTER GIVING A PERJURED
STATEMENT TO I.A.D.

YOU TELLING ME YOU
NEVER PLAYED D-N-D

- TO PROTECT ANOTHER COP?
- NEVER TO CONCEAL A FELONY.

CAPTAIN, YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT A KID

TAKING A FEW HOURS TO FIND
THE GUTS TO DO THE RIGHT THING...

THERE WERE A LOT OF OTHER
FACTORS INVOLVED, NEAL.

AND GETTING FIRED FOR DOING IT.

IF YOU'RE INTERESTED,
I THINK MAYBE

THEY DID COME DOWN
HARD ON GARFIELD.

BUT HE WASN'T MY COP,
AND IT WASN'T MY DECISION.

OH. BUCK DON'T STOP
WITH YOU, IS THAT IT?

- NOT THIS ONE.
- LITTLE SELECTIVE, CAPTAIN.

NEAL.

I HAVE TO ASK YOU
SOMETHING ABOUT J.D.

DO YOU HAVE ANY REASON TO THINK
THAT HE KNEW CAROLINE REYNOLDS

- BEFORE TWO DAYS AGO?
- NO.

OH, SERGEANT, WAIT.

WILL THIS DO FOR A POSTER?

SURE, MA'AM.

MAYBE HIS LIPS
ARE A LITTLE FULLER.

WHY DON'T YOU
PUT 'EM UP OUTSIDE?

OH. WHAT KIND OF A
POLICE DEPARTMENT

IS THIS, ANYWAY?

SERGEANT, DIDN'T YOU
EVER HAVE A PET YOU LOVED?

I MEAN, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL

IF ONE DAY, YOUR
FRIEND WAS MISSING.

MAYBE EVEN IN DANGER?

WHAT'S HIS NAME?

BLACKIE.

UH-HUH.

BUTTMAN.

I WENT THROUGH YOUR LOG ENTRIES.

THERE ARE TWO
GAPS FOR YESTERDAY.

DROP DEAD, GOLDBERG.

ONE FOR 45 MINUTES
IN THE MORNING.

ANOTHER HOUR AND 20

COMMENCING AT A
QUARTER PAST 12:00.

I TOOK SOME PERSONAL TIME.

YOU'RE ALLOWED ONE BREAK.

I TOOK TWO.

YOU GONNA TAKE
POINTS OFF MY SCORE?

WHERE WERE YOU THE 45 MINUTES
THAT COFFEY HAD TO WAIT FOR YOU?

I CAN'T ANSWER THAT.
ADVICE OF COUNSEL.

HOW ABOUT THE HOUR AND 20?

OH, THAT'S DIFFERENT, RIGHT?

FIRST 45, I'M SILENT
ON ADVICE OF COUNSEL,

BUT NOW FOR THIS HOUR.

LOOK, LIEUTENANT, I
BOUGHT LOTTERY TICKETS.

I DID MY LAUNDRY.

I PLANNED MY NEXT
VACATION TO HAWAII.

GET THIS GUY OUT OF HERE.
I'M THROUGH TALKING TO HIM.

THANKS. I'M DONE.

GO GET 'EM, MR. HEBROID!

PUT A WHITE COP AWAY.

RENKO, ARE YOU GONNA
TALK TODAY OR WHAT?

NO. I'M GIVING YOU

THE SILENT TREATMENT.
IT'S WELL-DESERVED.

COME ON, RENKO. I WENT TO SEE
THE WOMAN FOR THE BOTH OF US.

I DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS
GONNA DO THAT TO YOU...

OH THAT BOBBY HILL.

HE'S SO CUTE. I AIN'T
GONNA HANG HIM OUT TO DRY.

I'M NOT GONNA
PUBLICLY RIDICULE HIM.

I'M GONNA STICK IT TO
HIS SLOB OF A PARTNER.

1439 VAN BUREN.

- ARMED ASSAULT IN PROGRESS.
- WE JUST PASSED IT.

2202 IN RESPONSE.

DOWN THOSE STAIRS.
HE TRIED TO KILL ME!

BOBBY, YOU GO AROUND TO
THE FRONT. MA'AM, WAIT HERE.

- I'LL GET YOU
SOME MEDICAL, OKAY?
- WAIT, DON'T LEAVE ME!

HE'S A FREAK! HE'S A MURDERER!

BOBBY!

BACKUP! I HAVE SUSPECT...

IN THE FROOSE CASE
GOING OUT THE BACK.

YOU GOT ANYTHING?

NO.

DAMN!

I'M SORRY, DETECTIVE,
BUT YOU SEE,

WHEN YOU TAKE POT LUCK,
USUALLY... USUALLY, YOU END UP WITH...

UH-UH. I WANNA SEE THE CHIEF.

AND I'M TELLING
YOU, YOU CAME DOWN

WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT.
AND I'M GONNA HAVE TO DO.

WELL, IT'S ABOUT THESE
ROOKIES THAT GOT FIRED.

- THE HAZING INCIDENT.
- MM-HMM.

IT WAS DISGRACEFUL.

WELL, I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING
ELSE THAT'S DISGRACEFUL.

YOU ASK A KID TO BE HONEST.
YOU TELL HIM TO FORGET

ALL THAT STUFF
ABOUT THE COP CODE.

THAT THE ONLY GUYS YOU
CAN TRUST ARE YOUR PARTNERS.

YOU TELL HIM TO GO AHEAD
AND BELIEF IN THE SYSTEM.

JUST THEN, YOU CUT
HIM OFF AT THE KNEES.

DETECTIVE, I ASSUME
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT

THE ROOKIE WHO CAME FORWARD.

BEHIND MY ASKING HIM
TO, YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT.

AND YOU FIRED HIM FOR IT.

UNDER THE PREVAILING
CIRCUMSTANCES, DETECTIVE,

I HAD NO CHOICE.

WELL, I THINK IT STINKS.

YOU'RE ENTITLED TO THAT THOUGHT.

I'LL BE AT THE ROTARY BRUNCH.

MAYBE YOU COULD EXPLAIN
THE LARGER PICTURE

TO DETECTIVE WASHINGTON.

HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.

DON'T BE STUPID.

YOU GET YOUR HAND OFF OF ME.

HEY, CAN I TALK TO YOU GUYS?

- ABOUT REYNOLDS?
- I DON'T HAVE THE FLU, OKAY.

SOMEBODY JUST TELL ME
WHAT THE HELL'S HAPPENING.

- ONGOING, J.D.
- HEY, COME ON.

JUST PLAY ME A COUPLE OF BARS.

- NO WAY.
- MAYO? LINE FOUR.

HARRY? HEY. HEY. HARRY. HARRY.

HARRY. THE HEADHUNTERS
ARE MEASURING MY HAT SIZE,

AND I'M CLEAN, MAN. I TOLD
'EM I DON'T WANT A LAWYER.

I DON'T WANT NOTHING.
I JUST WANT A CLUE.

COME ON, MAN. HUH?
WHAT DO YOU SAY?

J.D. THE GUY YOU
SHOT'S THE SAME GUY

- THAT KILLED
CAROLINE'S HUSBAND.
- OH MAN.

YEAH, THERE'S A BALLISTICS
MATCH WITH HIS WEAPON.

PLUS, THERE WAS A SNAPSHOT
OF HER IN THE GUY'S WALLET.

- CAROLINE?
- YEAH. IN THE NUDE.

SO THAT PUTS TWO
THEORIES ON THE BOARD.

A, THE GUY WHO TOOK
OFF THE HUSBAND

FOUND OUT ENOUGH
ABOUT HIS CRIB AND HIS WIFE

TO GO AFTER THEM TOO.

OR THEORY B,
CAROLINE GOT INVOLVED

OUTSIDE OF HER MARRIAGE.

SUCKERED THE GUY INTO
KILLING HER HUSBAND.

SO NOW SHE'S STUCK WITH
A MILLION IN INSURANCE

AND A BOYFRIEND SHE
DON'T WANNA SHARE IT WITH.

SO SHE CHANGES THE DOOR LOCKS.

SHE CALLS THE
BOYFRIEND. SHE SAYS,

"THOMAS, COME QUICK.
THERE'S A PROBLEM."

HE DOES, BUT HE CAN'T
UNLOCK THE DOOR,

- SO HE BREAKS IN.
- YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING.

YEAH, WELL, THE
THINKING IS THAT IF, UH,

SHE SET UP HER BOYFRIEND

OH, OR MADE ME A PARTNER.
GREAT, OH, THAT'S JUST GREAT.

DO YOU BELIEVE THAT?

NO. BUT SHE'D HAVE TO
HAVE CALLED THE BOYFRIEND

AND THE PHONE
COMPANY HAS NO RECORD.

MAN, THIS IS THE BEST WOMAN

I MET IN THE LAST 15 YEARS.

OH BROTHER.

- YOU'RE A JERK.
- OH, COME ON.

LET'S GIVE THE GUY A
BREAK, HUH? HE'S A COP.

YOU WERE OUT OF POLICY, HARRY.

AT THE LEAST, HE'S A
CHRONIC SCREW-UP.

WHAT'S WORSE, HE'S
THE PRIMARY SUSPECT

IN A MURDER INVESTIGATION.

I'VE WORKED TOO HARD
FOR MY BADGE TO BET IT ON

WHICH OF THE TWO
WE'RE DEALING WITH.

P.S.

INSURANCE POLICY HAD AN
ACCIDENTAL DEATH KICKER.

JACKS IT UP TO A
MILLION AND A HALF.

FRANK. FRANK.

WE'VE GOT RENKO'S DESCRIPTION
ON THE ASSAULT OUT CITYWIDE.

WHAT'D WE GET FROM
THE PROSTITUTE?

WELL, MORE DESCRIPTIONS.
AND SHE'LL PRESS CHARGES.

SHE SAYS HE TALKED WEIRD.

ALL RIGHT. STAY ON IT.

WE HAVE A LEAD IN THE
PROSTITUTE KILLINGS.

AND IT ISN'T RANDALL BUTTMAN.

NOTHING FROM HIM.

STILL NO MURDER WEAPON.

WITNESSES GAVE US ZIP.

THE ONLY FORENSICS WE HAVE
IS SOME TAN PANTS FIBERS FROM

LOIS JORDAN'S BEDSPREAD.

YOU FIGURE FIVE,
MAYBE SIX TRICKS A DAY.

WHICH LEAVES US NOWHERE.

OR MAYBE BUTTMAN DIDN'T DO IT.

MAYBE THIS OTHER
GUY DID 'EM ALL.

DON'T GIVE UP.

HENRY? ARE WE ON FOR
A QUICK LUNCH TODAY?

- SURE.
- I THOUGHT MAYBE
WE'D TRY THIS.

OKAY.

WHAT'S WRONG? YOU
DON'T LIKE INDIAN?

NO, IT'S GREAT.

I WAS JUST DOWNTOWN TRYING
TO TALK TO CHIEF DANIELS.

- OH?
- WELL, YOU TOLD ME IT WAS
HIS CALL FIRING GARFIELD.

I FIGURED HE WAS
THE MAN TO TALK TO.

YOU GET ANY SATISFACTION?

I GOT ABOUT TWO
AND A HALF SECONDS

ON THE PREVAILING PUBLIC CLIMATE

AND LOOKING AT THE BIG PICTURE.

YOU KNOW, THERE MAY BE
SOMETHING TO THAT, NEAL.

MAYBE FROM WHERE
YOU SIT, CAPTAIN.

NOW, THE WAY I LOOK AT
IT, IT'S A LOT MORE SIMPLE.

I TOLD THE KID TO
DO THE RIGHT THING,

AND THE DEPARTMENT'S
MAKING ME A JUDAS.

I'VE GOTTA LOOK AT
MYSELF MORNINGS.

COME ON, YOU'RE
MAKING A BIG MISTAKE.

WHY DON'T YOU GIVE IT
THE NIGHT TO THINK IT OVER.

IF I DID, CAPTAIN,
MAYBE I WOULD START

THINKING ABOUT THE BIG PICTURE.

THAT'S NOT THE KIND
OF PERSON I WANT TO BE.

PROOF, SERGEANT.

PROOF OF CRIME.

WHAT IS IT, MA'AM?

SEE HERE?

FOREIGN MAN.

THEY PUT CATS IN SHOPPING BAGS,

AND THEN THEY MUST SELL 'EM
FROM BEHIND THEIR ESTABLISHMENT.

UH, SERGEANT BATES,

YOU WANNA EYEBALL THIS?

OH, CAT-IBALISM.

WELL, YOU WANNA CHECK IT OUT?

SURE.

ALL RIGHT. OKAY,
HERE'S WHAT I NEED.

A RECORD OF ALL CALLS IN THE
LAST MONTH TO THIS RESIDENCE

FROM ANY ONE OF THESE NUMBERS.

5571, 6807,

5692. THESE ARE PAY PHONES.

THEY'RE ALL NEAR
EACH OTHER ON SPRING.

CAN YOU DO THAT
THROUGH LAST NIGHT?

WE COULD, IF THEY'RE
ALL TOLL CALLS.

BUT... DETECTIVE,

I THINK I NEED AT LEAST
SOME KIND OF SUBPOENA.

SOME KIND OF SUBPOENA.

HEY, TED? TED.

NOW, LOOK HERE, OKAY.

LOOK... LOOK WHAT IT SAYS.
SEE? IT SAYS SUBPOENA.

OH. ARE YOU SURE
THAT'S OFFICIAL?

IT'S OFFICIAL AS CAN BE. TED...

MAN, THIS IS A POLICE EMERGENCY.

WE NEED 'EM NOW.

PUBLIC PHONE LOGS ARE ENORMOUS.

I CAN'T JUST SNAP MY FINGERS.

FAST AS YOU CAN'LL BE JUST FINE.

- MORE WATER FOR YOU?
- THANK YOU.

SO ANYWAY, YEAH, I'M
FEELING A LITTLE LESS PUNK.

ARE YOU GONNA BE ABLE
TO TAKE SOME TIME OFF?

NEXT WEEK. SPEND
IT WITH THE KIDS.

GIVE RACHEL A BREAK.

HOW'S SHE DOING?

ACTUALLY BETTER.

ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, BETTER.

LISTEN. YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T KNOW,

BUT WHERE WAS SHE, MIDTOWN?

DID SHE SEE THE VICTIMS' AIDE...

- REFUSED.
- IF SHE EVER
CHANGES HER MIND,

I'VE GOT SOME PHONE
NUMBERS FOR HER.

THANKS.

- HOW'S THE CHOW?
- GOOD.

LAMB'S A LITTLE TOUGH.

EXCUSE ME.

VERY NICE WEATHER, THIS.

I KNOW SHE LIVES ALONE,
BUT IS IT A LONELY...

VERY NICE...

THANK YOU.

AND A COUPLE OF
INDIA PALES, PLEASE?

AND, UH, THE TANDOORI
IS EXCELLENT, BY THE WAY.

THANK YOU.

SEE, SHE'S MADE
ME HER WHOLE LIFE.

EVER SINCE MY FATHER DIED.

YEAH, WELL, THE
MATRIARCHAL-FILIAL CONNECTION

ESPECIALLY IN YOUR PERSUASION,
MICK, IS A HIGHLY-CHARGED ONE.

ARE YOU KIDDING? MY MOTHER'S
A VERY EMOTIONAL WOMAN.

NOW, MY MOTHER,

BEING MORE YOUR WHITE
ANGLO-SAXON PROTESTANT,

KEEPS A TIGHT REIN
ON HER FEELINGS.

THE WOMAN HAS
POSITIVELY MASTERED

THE EMOTIONAL MOOD-SWING.

MY MOTHER CALLS
ME EVERY SINGLE DAY.

- EVERY DAY?
- YEAH.

HMM. JEEZ.

BEEN NEARLY A MONTH SINCE
I HEARD FROM PENSACOLA.

SOMETIMES TWICE IN A DAY.

YOU KNOW, IN AN ODD
WAY, MICK, I REALLY

ENVY YOUR CLOSENESS.

CONSIDERING, OF COURSE, THE
PROBABLE OEDIPAL RAMIFICATIONS.

YOU KNOW THAT ALL SHE
COULD TALK TO ME ABOUT

ARE HER PAINS AND HER
DOCTORS AND HER NEW PILLS.

YEAH, WELL, NARY A PEEP FROM
MOTHER HUNTER IN THAT REGARD.

I DON'T WANT HER TO
BE A HYPOCHONDRIAC.

EVEN WHEN SHE
WAS SHOT IN ACTION.

WHAT?

OH.

MOTHER WAS A WAC.

- WOMEN'S ARMY CORPS?
- JESUS.

ONE HELL OF A
COMMANDING OFFICER.

EXCUSE ME?

- VISHNU GALATI?
- HE'S OVER THERE.

MR. GALATI, THIS IS A WARRANT

TO INSPECT THESE PREMISES.

WHAT MEANS OF INSULT IS THIS?

DID... PUT YOU UP TO THIS?

NO, NO, WE HAVE
REASON TO BELIEVE THAT

YOU ARE VIOLATING
ADMINISTRATIVE CODE

SECTION 637-A THROUGH -F.

- HEY.
- HEY, YOU, HOLD IT.

EXCUSE ME, LIEUTENANT.

HEY. WHAT'RE ALL THE CATS FOR?

MICE. THE REAL MICE.

WHAT IS THIS, SOME KIND
OF AMBIGUOUS LUNCH LOAF?

- I BOUGHT THIS...
- CAT MEAT.

IS THIS CAT THE
TANDOORI? AM I EATING CAT...

HEY, DID YOU BUY
THESE COLLARS TOO?

WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS?

MY WIFE'S... LOST HIS
COLLAR WEEKS AGO.

HOW LONG YOU BEEN SERVING CAT?

WE DO NOT SERVE CAT.

- YOU ARE UNDER ARREST.
- WHAT FOR?

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
TO REMAIN SILENT.

SHOULD YOU GIVE UP THAT
RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT...

♪ MACARONI MACARONI ♪

ALL RIGHT. WHAT'S THE DEAL HERE?

HE'S EATING ME OUT OF BUSINESS.

I WISH YOUR GIRLFRIEND
COULD'VE FILMED ME

ON A DAY LIKE TODAY.

WHAT'S WITH THE TACO SALAD?

YOU POLISHED IT OFF, FAT BOY.

I HOPE IT MAKES YOU SICK.

CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!

BEEP! BEEP!

THAT GUY MAKES YOU
LOOK ANOREXIC, RENKO.

HE'S EATING FOR
THREE. HE IS THREE.

HE'S BEEN HERE
TWO HOURS ALREADY.

HE'S A ONE-MAN
PLAGUE OF LOCUSTS.

LOOK, YOU GOT OUR
SYMPATHY THERE, PAL.

BUT YOU GOT A SIGN
THERE THAT SAYS,

"SALAD BAR... ALL YOU CAN EAT."

HE'S A MENACE. HE
HITS EVERY CUSTOMER

THAT COMES NEAR HIM.
HE'S THROWING FOOD.

THE RULES AREN'T SO...

FOOD MUST BE CARRIED
BACK TO THE TABLE.

ALL RIGHT, WHAT'S
THE PROBLEM, SIR?

I PAID MY $4.99.

I'LL SIT HERE UNTIL
NEXT THURSDAY.

I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT.

LISTEN, MISTER,
WHY DON'T YOU JUST

SAVE A LITTLE ROOM
FOR THE DESSERT?

THERE'S PLENTY OF
ROOM. DON'T WORRY.

NOW, YOU LOOK HERE,
PAL. YOU ARE MAKING

A PUBLIC PIG OF YOURSELF.

PIG? DON'T CALL ME PIG.

- PIG.
- THAT'S IT. YOU ARE
UNDER ARREST, GIGANTO.

THANK GOD. WE'RE SAVED.

- WHAT DID I DO?
- YOU ARE DISTURBING THE PEACE.

YOU ARE A FIRE HAZARD.

AND YOU ARE A
PUBLIC HEALTH HAZARD.

AND THERE IS DANGER
HERE OF ASSAULT.

SO YOU PUT YOUR BIG FAT
ARMS BEHIND YOU, YOU BLOAT!

I CAN'T. THEY WON'T GO.

- ROLL HIM ON OUT OF HERE.
- ON YOUR FEET.

MAKE ME.

YOU DON'T WANNA
ARREST ME. BELIEVE IT.

OF ALL THE TERRIBLE
THINGS THAT'VE HAPPENED

IN THE LAST TWO DAYS,

THE WORST IS WHAT I
HEAR IN YOUR VOICE.

I'M A SUSPECT, CAROLINE. WE'RE
BOTH SUSPECTS IN A MURDER.

YOU WANT ME TO SOUND
LIKE THE GOOD HUMOUR MAN?

I DON'T WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY.

I JUST DON'T WANT
YOU TO SUSPECT ME.

AW, COME ON.

I CAN'T HELP IT.

I LOVE YOU.

AND IF YOU STARTED FROM THAT,
KNOWING THAT I COULDN'T DO THIS,

THEN EVERYTHING THEY FOUND
WOULD HAVE AN EXPLANATION.

HE WENT THROUGH
MY HUSBAND'S WALLET.

HE FOUND THAT PICTURE OF ME

AND THE APARTMENT ADDRESS.

OF COURSE THE BULLETS
ARE GONNA MATCH

IF THE SAME MAN WHO KILLED
MY HUSBAND SHOT AT YOU.

GOD, OF ALL THE PEOPLE
TO HAVE TO EXPLAIN THIS TO.

- WHAT ABOUT THE PHONE CALLS?
- WHAT PHONE CALLS?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

NOT THIS PHONE. THE
PAY PHONE AT THE CORNER.

24 CALLS THE LAST TWO
WEEKS FROM THE PAY PHONE

OUTSIDE HERE TO
THOMAS LAKE'S APARTMENT.

I DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE MY HUSBAND AND
HE KNEW EACH OTHER.

MAYBE THE SHOOTING
WASN'T A ROBBERY.

THEY MIGHT'VE BEEN
ARGUING. I TOLD YOU

SOME OF THE WAYS THAT
WARREN MADE MONEY.

WHICH EXPLAINS ALL THE CALLS
EXCEPT THE ONE LAST NIGHT.

40 MINUTES BEFORE
THE GUY BROKE IN.

NOW, WARREN WAS
DEAD FOR THAT ONE.

MAYBE THE THIEF CALLED
HIS OWN APARTMENT.

MAYBE HE HAD A
GIRLFRIEND BACK THERE.

BOY, YOU REALLY GOT
IT DOWN, DON'T YOU?

EVERY ANGLE.

YOU THINK I MADE THAT CALL?

THAT I GOT OUT OF BED
AND WENT TO THE CORNER

WITH YOU STILL HERE?

WELL, IT'S OBVIOUS I
CAN'T MAKE YOU BELIEVE

THAT I'M AS MUCH A
VICTIM IN THIS AS YOU ARE.

I'M A SUSPECT IN A MURDER
INVESTIGATION, CAROLINE.

I'M ON THE VERGE OF
LOSING MY CAREER.

ALL RIGHT, JOHN.

ALL RIGHT, LISTEN TO ME.

IF YOU WANTED,

AND IF IT WOULD HELP
UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES,

I COULD GIVE YOU SOME MONEY.

UH, $50,000 IF YOU NEED IT.

YOU MEAN... YOU MEAN

SO I'LL SIT ON THE EVIDENCE

ABOUT THOSE PHONE CALLS.

YOU SAID YOU WERE A SUSPECT.

THAT IT WAS GONNA
RUIN YOUR CAREER.

I THOUGHT IT WOULD HELP.

MY GOD, WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM?

YOU HONESTLY
THINK I'M A MURDERER?

YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT I THINK?

I THINK YOU'RE HEAVIER
THAN ME, CAROLINE.

I THINK YOU'RE WAY
OUT OF MY LEAGUE.

THE ONLY COP SMART ENOUGH
TO CHECK THE PHONE BOOTH,

AND THE ONLY COP DUMB
ENOUGH TO GO TO HER FIRST

- WITH THE EVIDENCE.
- CAPTAIN, YOU'RE NOT

UNDERSTANDING SOME THINGS.

THERE WAS A LOVE AFFAIR
HERE. OKAY, MAYBE I WAS A JERK,

BUT I LOVED HER. I THOUGHT
SHE'D TELL ME THE TRUTH.

I WANTED TO BELIEVE SHE WOULD.

IS IT ENOUGH TO BUST HER?

SURE. ENOUGH TO
HOLD HER? I DON'T KNOW.

AND WHAT ABOUT A CONVICTION?

WE'LL HAVE TO CHECK WITH
BERNSTEIN. SEE HOW MUCH

- THE PHONE RECORD HELPS.
- CAPTAIN?

MAYBE, UH, I CAN GO BACK TO HER

WITH A WIRE.

I MEAN, SHE OFFERED
ME THE 50 GRAND ONCE.

MAYBE SHE'LL DO IT
AGAIN. I DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE I CAN GET A CONFESSION.

YOU'RE WILLING TO DO THAT?

WITHOUT A CONFESSION...

I MEAN, SHE DIDN'T
PULL THE TRIGGER.

THERE'S NOTHING
IN HER APARTMENT.

NOTHING IN THE DEAD
GUY'S APARTMENT.

IT'S REAL CIRCUMSTANTIAL.

GET A COURT ORDER FOR THE WIRE.

UH, MS. SIMMONS?

YOUR INFORMATION WAS 100%...

SEE?

BUT I'M AFRAID THAT WE
DIDN'T FIND YOUR BENTLEY.

NO?

NO.

UH, FACT IS, MS. SIMMONS,

ODDS ARE PRETTY GOOD
THAT BENTLEY HAS BEEN EA...

HAS DEPARTED.

TROUBLE IS, MS. SIMMONS,

WE FOUND A COUPLE OF
OTHER LITTLE GUYS IN THERE.

UH, PETS

WITH NO OWNERS.

ISN'T THAT THE CUTEST
LITTLE FELLA YOU EVER SAW,

MS. SIMMONS? HUH?

I WANT BENTLEY.

I HATE TO THINK WHAT'S
GONNA HAPPEN TO HIM

IF NOBODY CLAIMS
HIM AT THE POUND.

WHAT KIND OF A POLICE
DEPARTMENT IS THIS

WHEN YOU CAN'T EVEN
PROTECT A POOR PUSSYCAT?!

IF YOU DON'T WANT
HIM, I'LL TAKE HIM.

GET ON IN THERE!

HEY! GET IN THERE!

HOLD IT, WILL ANYBODY
GET CHANGE FOR A DOLLAR?

UH-UH. UH-UH. SARGE.

YOU GOT A PLACE WE
CAN PARK THIS ZEPPELIN?

WE'RE ALL FILLED UP WITH
THEM RESTAURANT PEOPLE.

- PUT HIM IN A SQUAD ROOM.
- RESTAURANT?

SHUT YOUR SNOUT,
YOU FEEDER-HOG, YOU.

HEY, LEO, THAT GUY LOOKS
LIKE THE BOX YOU CAME IN,

BEFORE THE DIET.

I HATE MY DIET.

EVERYTHING COMES IN PACKETS.

- I'M HUNGRY.
- BE QUIET.

JUST SIT DOWN HERE, JUMBO.

WHAT IF I COOKED
DINNER FOR YOU TONIGHT?

HOW WOULD THAT BE?

YOUR RAIN CHECK FROM LAST TIME?

- OKAY.
- EIGHT O'CLOCK.

HOME COOKING.

NO PACKETS.

CHIEF?

I NEED HELP WITH
NEAL WASHINGTON.

NEAL WASHINGTON NEEDS
HELP FROM DALE CARNEGIE.

THE MAN CAME WITHIN A BODY HAIR

OF BEING UP ON
CHARGES EARLIER TODAY.

HE QUIT.

OVER THIS ROOKIE BUSINESS?

WHAT DID HE WANT US TO
DO? GIVE 'EM ALL MEDALS?

HE FELT IT WAS WRONG TO PUNISH
THE ROOKIE WHO CAME FORWARD

AS SEVERELY AS THE ONES
WHO KEPT STONEWALLING.

IN A MORE FORGIVING
PUBLIC ATMOSPHERE,

I MIGHT'VE CONSIDERED
THE POSSIBILITY.

I'D LIKE TO TELL HIM
YOU INTEND TO MODIFY

GARFIELD'S PUNISHMENT.

FRANK, IT'S BAD ENOUGH
BEING SECOND-GUESSED

BY ONE OF MY CAPTAINS,
BUT I WILL NOT TOLERATE IT

- FROM A BEAT COP.
- I APPRECIATE YOUR POSITION,

BUT I DON'T WANNA LOSE
ONE OF MY BEST DETECTIVES.

HE'S HOT. HE'LL COOL DOWN.

I KNOW THE MAN.
I DON'T THINK SO.

DON'T THESE PEOPLE
EVER THINK ABOUT TIME?

DON'T THEY EVER REALIZE
THAT PENCILS HAVE ERASERS?

MEANING?

MEANING...

I SUPPOSE GARFIELD'S PUNISHMENT

MIGHT POSSIBLY BE
MODIFIED IN A FEW WEEKS

AT A DEPARTMENTAL REVIEW BOARD.

I'M NOT ABOVE
RETHINKING A DECISION.

I NEED SOMETHING MORE DEFINITE.

21 DAYS SUSPENSION WITHOUT PAY.

IF HE AGREES TO TESTIFY
AT BUTTMAN'S TRIAL,

AND THAT'S AS DEFINITE
AS IT'S GOING TO GET, FRANK.

- MAY I TELL THAT
TO WASHINGTON?
- OFF THE RECORD.

THAT'S A GENEROUS
DECISION, CHIEF.

THANK YOU.

HE WAS REALLY GONNA QUIT?

HE FELT HE'D BROKEN HIS WORD.

HARD TO UNDERSTAND
THAT KIND OF THINKING.

WHAT I'M GONNA TELL
YOU IS OFF THE RECORD.

THEY'RE WILLING TO RESCIND
GARFIELD'S TERMINATION

AT THE DEPARTMENTAL REVIEW.

HE'LL GET A 21-DAY
SUSPENSION WITHOUT PAY.

- SAYS WHO?
- CHIEF DANIELS.

THEN WHY'D THEY PUT HIM
THROUGH ALL THIS, HUH?

WE'RE NOT GONNA GET INTO
A POLICY DISCUSSION HERE.

I WANT YOU TO RECONSIDER
YOUR RESIGNATION.

IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE, CAPTAIN.

EXCUSE ME, BUT
IT IS THAT SIMPLE.

UNLESS YOU HAVE
SOME OTHER AGENDA.

YOU WANNA COMMIT
OCCUPATIONAL SUICIDE?

YOU WANNA BLOW 14 YEARS
TOWARD A PENSION, BE MY GUEST.

THAT KID CAME FORWARD
BECAUSE OF ME, CAPTAIN.

AND THE DEPARTMENT SHAFTED HIM.

AND NOW THEY'RE
WILLING TO UNSHAFT HIM.

WHAT'RE YOU LOOKING FOR?

I DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE I'M LOOKING FOR
SOMEBODY TO SAY THEY'RE SORRY.

MAYBE FOR ONCE, I
WANNA SEE SOMEONE

ADMIT THAT THEY WERE WRONG.

- GETTING YOU EXACTLY WHAT?
- SOME SATISFACTION.

NOT LOOKING LIKE SUCH A CHUMP.

NEAL, YOU STUCK YOUR
NECK OUT FOR THIS KID.

I'M NOT SURE I WOULD'VE,
UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES.

YOU HAVE MY RESPECT FOR THAT.

BUT IF YOU CAN'T LET GO NOW,

AND IF YOU'RE HOLDING
OUT BECAUSE YOUR EGO SAYS

YOU NEED SOME MORE,

YOU LOSE ME.

POINTS TAKEN.

POINTS APPRECIATED, CAPTAIN.

GOOD.

- COFFEE BREAK?
- NO WAY. NO FOOD.

RENKO, YOU'RE STILL ALLOWED.

LOST MY APPETITE, ROBERT,
THAT MONSTROUS HUMAN

WAS LIKE A NIGHTMARE VISION,
THE POSSIBLE DEADLY FUTURE

OF AN UNCHECKED ANDREW
RENKO RAVAGING THE COUNTRYSIDE

CONSUMING
EVERYTHING IN SIGHT. IT...

- THAT'S HIM.
- WHAT?

THE GUY. THE SLASHING GUY. THIS
MORNING, THE GUY WITH THE HOOKERS?

ALL RIGHT, I GOT HIM.

STAY BEHIND HIM. DO
NOT GET NEXT TO HIM.

DO NOT GET NEXT TO HIM.

ALL RIGHT, I WANT YOU TO
GET OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE

WITH YOUR HANDS ABOVE YOUR HEAD.

KEEP 'EM ABOVE YOUR HEAD!

BOBBY, GET DOWN!

ALL UNITS DOWN IN
ALLEY WEST 2-9 STREET!

AND A DANGEROUS
SUSPECT IN A BLUE PONTIAC!

SHOTS FIRED! PROCEED,
SHOTS FIRED ARE POSSIBLE!

OKAY! THAT'S THAT!

I'M COMIN' OUT!

DON'T SHOOT!

- DON'T SHOOT!
- UP AGAINST THAT WALL, MAN.

GET UP AGAINST THAT WALL, MAN!

HE SLASHED A HOOKER!

MAYBE YOU SLASHED THEM ALL, HUH?

YOU SHOT AT ME
TOO, DIDN'T YOU, HUH?

ALL RIGHT, YOU GOT THE
RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT,

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN
SILENT, ANYTHING YOU SAY CAN...

PATS, S.I.D. WANTS
EVERYTHING WE GOT.

WE GOT A JERK WHO NEEDED
WOMEN'S UNDERPANTS.

WITH ME IS OFFICER ANDREW
RENKO OF HILL STREET.

THIS IS A REMARKABLE STORY.

JUST THIS MORNING,
ON MORNING REPORT,

I MADE THIS COP OUT
TO BE A GOLDBRICK.

OR MAYBE A DONUT BRICK.

THIS AFTERNOON, TWO
ROUNDS ARE FIRED AT HIM,

POINT-BLANK RANGE, BY A MANIAC
SUSPECTED OF MURDERING SIX WOMEN.

AND OFFICER RENKO PERSEVERES
TO APPREHEND THE SUSPECT.

OFFICER, PLEASE ACCEPT
THIS REPORTER'S APOLOGIES

AND UH...

- MAY I?
- WHY, THANK YOU, MA'AM.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I DID JANETTE BRANDON,

I DID A REDHAIRED
WHORE NAMED MARY,

I DID TIFFANY CONLON,

I DID DONNA SMITH.

AND THESE ARE ALL WOMEN
WHO GIVE THEIR SEXUAL FAVORS

FOR MERE MONEY.

THERE'LL BE A LINEUP TOMORROW FOR A
WOMAN WHO WAS ATTACKED THIS MORNING.

SHE SAID HER NAME WAS "STARR."

SHE WANTED $40.

- SHE'S FILTH.
- OUR STRATEGY IS TO GET
YOU EVALUATED, MR. PLATT.

PLUS, WE KEEP ABSOLUTE SILENCE.

WAIT AND SEE WHAT THEY HAVE.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND...

THAT I'M NOT...

- ASHAMED?
- I UNDERSTAND.

- WHAT?
- HEY. WE GOT SOME
TALKIN' TO DO.

- YEAH? YOU'RE GOOD AT THAT.
- HEY, YOU SHOWED UP,
DIDN'T YOU?

NOW YOU GOT TO HAVE HALF AN IDEA
THAT I'M TRYING TO STRAIGHTEN THIS OUT.

HOW 'BOUT I GOT
NOTHING ELSE GOING?

OH, SHUT UP, MAN.

MAYBE YOU GOT MORE
FUTURE THAN YOU THINK.

NOW, I GOT SOMETHING
TO TELL YOU, RON.

AND YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
TO TRUST ME ON HOW I KNOW.

NOW I WANT YOU TO LAY
LOW TILL YOUR D.R.B. REVIEW.

NO MOUTH TO THE PRESS.

IF THE DEPARTMENT ASKS YOU
TO TESTIFY AGAINST BUTTMAN,

- YOU GO AHEAD AND DO IT.
- WHY?

THEY'RE GONNA GIVE
YOU A BETTER DEAL.

THERE'S BEEN SOME TALK
ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY

OF A 21-DAY SUSPENSION,
WITHOUT PAY.

AND TELL ME HOW YOU KNOW.

I GOT FRIENDS.
INCLUDING MY CAPTAIN,

WHO HAS REASON TO BELIEVE
THAT'S HOW IT'LL COME DOWN.

- AND THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY.
- SURE.

GOT YOU SITTIN' UP LIKE
A DAMN DOG, DON'T THEY?

- WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
- I MEAN, HERE YOU ARE,

TRYING TO MAKE ME
BELIEVE HOW LUCKY I AM

THAT THEY'RE ONLY GOING
TO SUSPEND ME FOR 21 DAYS,

- FOR TELLING THE DAMN TRUTH!
- UH-UH.

SUSPENSION'S FOR WHAT HAPPENED
TO SWAN... AND FOR LYING ABOUT IT.

IF I'D LIED AND STUCK WITH
IT, I WOULDN'T BE IN THIS MESS!

NOW YOU LISTEN TO ME, KID! WHAT
YOU DID IN THAT BACK ROOM WAS WRONG.

FOR A COP OR ANYBODY ELSE.

AND YOU COMING FORWARD DOESN'T
MEAN THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT.

NOW, THEY'RE HANDING
YOU BACK YOUR CAREER.

NOW YOU CAN SULK, AND THINK
THAT THEY DID YOU WRONG.

AND THEN YOU'RE GONNA BE THE KIND
OF COP WHO'S ALWAYS GOT A REASON.

ALWAYS AN EXCUSE.

OR YOU CAN USE THIS AS
A CHANCE TO START OVER.

BE A COP WHO CAN SAY
THAT HE MADE A MISTAKE,

AND TRY TO LEARN FROM IT.

NOW THAT'S HOW I HOPE YOU GO.

GOOD COLLAR ON
THOSE HOOKER KILLINGS!

YOU'RE GONNA BE READY FOR
THE GRAND JURY TOMORROW?

ON THIS MORNING'S ATTACK,
AND THE THREE OTHER KILLINGS.

BUT THERE'S NO LINK TO CONNECT
HIM TO THE KILLING OF LOIS JORDAN.

HE'S CERTAINLY A SUSPECT.

- NOT IF BUTTMAN KILLED HER.
- CAN YOU PROVE THAT, FRANK?

BECAUSE IF YOU CAN'T,
I'VE GOT A SERIAL KILLER

STONE COLD IN THIS HAND, RANDY BUTTMAN
PLEADING TO A RAPE-ASSAULT IN THIS,

AND THAT'S BY ME
A GOOD DAY'S WORK.

WHAT IF PLATT COULD
DENY HE KILLED LOIS?

SINGLE OUT ONE
MURDER FOR DENIAL?

HE'D BE INDICTING HIMSELF
INFERENTIALLY ON ALL THE OTHERS.

NO, NO. COUNCILMAN COUNCIL
WOULD NEVER ALLOW IT.

EXCUSE ME, GENTLEMEN. MR. PLATT
AWAITS A DISCOVERY PROCESS.

TILL THEN, NO DEALS.
NO STATEMENTS.

COME AND GET US.

AND MR. PLATT HAS
COMPETENT COUNSEL.

AND BUTTMAN GETS
AWAY WITH MURDER.

WHAT WOULD YOU RATHER,
LIEUTENANT? A COSMETIC MURDER TRIAL

OR PUTTING THE GUY AWAY?

COME ON, FRANK. I
GAVE YOU THE DAY.

IF BUTTMAN'S ATTORNEY GETS WIND THAT
YOU MADE A BUST ON THESE HOOKER KILLINGS...

THEY WANT TO RENEGE ON
BUTTMAN'S PLEA BARGAIN.

ALL RIGHT, PUT
HIM AWAY. CLOSE IT.

IT'S BEST.

YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES "BEST"
JUST DOESN'T SEEM GOOD ENOUGH.

BALL TOOK A FUNNY BOUNCE.

YOU READY TO MOVE
ON CAROLINE REYNOLDS?

WE HAVE THE ORDER FOR A WIRE.

- WANT TO TAKE A LITTLE RIDE?
- OOH. LAW ENFORCEMENT WORK,
FRANK.

I WOULDN'T MISS IT!

RONALD GARFIELD,
SIR. YOU GOT A MOMENT?

I'LL JUST BE A MINUTE, IRWIN.

YES? WHAT?

I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT IF
THERE'S GONNA BE ANY CHARGES

AGAINST OFFICER BUTTMAN,
I'M WILLING TO TESTIFY.

- THAT'S GOOD.
- AND I DON'T KNOW HOW EXACTLY,

BUT I THINK I'VE GOT YOU
TO THANK FOR SOMETHING.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS,
YOU'VE BEEN SUSPENDED.

RIGHT. RIGHT. ANYWAY...

NEAL WASHINGTON IS ONE
OF MY BEST DETECTIVES.

IF ANYBODY DID
ANYTHING, IT WAS FOR HIM.

ANYWAY, I JUST WANTED TO
SAY, I HOPE THAT MAYBE SOMEDAY

I CAN BE UNDER YOUR COMMAND. A
CAPTAIN WHO STANDS UP FOR HIS MEN.

YOU HAVE A WAYS TO
GO BEFORE I'D WANT YOU.

I'LL TRY TO GET THERE.

GOOD NIGHT, SIR.

HERE, KITTY. HERE,
KITTY KITTY KITTY.

- SERGEANT?
- KITTY!

SERGEANT, IS THIS WHAT
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR?

WHERE DID YOU DISAPPEAR
TO, YOU LITTLE DEVIL?

HE WAS UNDER MY DESK, USING
MY LEG AS A SCRATCHING POST.

YOU HAD ME WORRIED SICK.

CAN I COME IN? I HAD TO
SEE YOU TO APOLOGIZE.

IT WAS LIKE I GOT
HIT BY A TIDAL WAVE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE
HELL WAS HAPPENING.

BABY, JUST TELL ME
IT'S NOT OVER FOR US.

YOU KNOW IT IS.

OKAY. I UNDERSTAND
WHAT HAPPENED HERE.

BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE
TO BE TOO LATE FOR THIS.

NOW, WHATEVER HAPPENED
WITH YOUR HUSBAND,

WHATEVER PUT THAT GUY IN
YOUR APARTMENT LAST NIGHT...

SAY WHAT YOU MEAN, JOHN.

- ALL RIGHT, CAROLINE.
- SO MUCH FOR A GENERAL
CONFESSION.

- NICE STRATEGY, D.
- I'M SAYIN', OKAY.

FORGET THE EVIDENCE. THERE'S
EXPLANATIONS FOR ALL OF IT.

EVEN THE PHONE CALL LAST NIGHT.
WHICH, YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW,

I LIFTED A CLEAN FINGERPRINT
OFF THE RECEIVER.

- WHAT FINGERPRINT?
- HOW AM I COMING THROUGH?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

HOW AM I COMING THROUGH IF
I SAY 50 GRAND'S NOT ENOUGH

FOR ME TO SIT ON THE EVIDENCE?

- LIKE A BLACKMAILER?
- YOU SAYING YOU DIDN'T
OFFER IT TO ME BEFORE?

I OFFERED YOU A LOAN BECAUSE
YOUR CAREER WAS IN JEOPARDY.

NOW YOU TURN IT
INTO A SHAKEDOWN.

YOU'RE A STONE
LYIN' BITCH, LADY!

GOD, YOU OUGHT TO BE PRESIDENT!

WE'VE GOT AS MUCH AS
WE'RE GONNA GET, FRANK.

HE'S LOSING IT!

- I DON'T KNOW WHAT...
- TAKE HER.

IN THIS UGLY WAY!

IT WAS A SETUP FROM THE
JUMP, RIGHT, CAROLINE?

HOW'D YOU PICK ME OUT, HUH? GUY MOST
LIKELY TO FOLLOW HIS SWORD INTO BATTLE?

- I THINK YOU OUGHT TO GO!
- WE'RE BOTH GONNA GO.

YOU'RE UNDER ARREST!

COME IN.

YOU'RE READY TO SIT STILL FOR
THE BUST TOO, AIN'T YOU, BABY?

YOU FIGURED YOU'D
HAVE TO SIT STILL FOR IT.

SHOULDN'T YOU READ ME MY RIGHTS?

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
TO REMAIN SILENT.

AND YOU WERE AFRAID I WASN'T GONNA
GET TO TRY A NO-WIN MURDER CASE?

MAYBE SHE'LL BE OVERCOME BY
REMORSE. MAYBE SHE'LL CONFESS.

ONLY WAY SHE WAS EVER
GOING TO GET PUNISHED

WAS IF WE LEFT HER
ALONE WITH LaRUE.

FIVE MORE MINUTES,
HE'D HAVE KILLED HER.

FIVE MORE MINUTES,
HE'D HAVE BELIEVED HER.

PAUL? GOOD.

- WAS THAT OKAY?
- I DON'T KNOW.

I-I GUESS. MAYBE, YEAH.

- AGAIN?
- UH-HUH.

OH, LEO, YOU ARE HOT.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY
TIMES I'VE IMAGINED THIS MOMENT.

WAIT. STOP.

- WHY?
- I CAN'T.

IT'S WRONG.

SAYS WHO?

I'M SORRY.

IT'S BECAUSE I'M
PLAIN, ISN'T IT?

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH
THAT. I DON'T THINK YOU'RE PLAIN.

LEO, YOU ARE NOT
EVEN MARRIED ANYMORE,

AND SHE'S STILL LOOKING
OVER YOUR SHOULDER.

I-I CAN'T HELP IT.

I STILL LOVE HER.

AND WHAT AM I, THEN? SOME
SLUT YOU THINK YOU CAN

JUST COME OVER HERE AND SCROUNGE
A HOT MEAL AND A CHEAP THRILL OFF OF?

- IS THAT IT?
- NO! YOU'RE GREAT!

YOU'RE KIND, YOU'RE
EXTREMELY SENSUOUS,

IT'S JUST...

THE WOMAN OWNS ME,
NATALIE, HEART AND SOUL.

I'M SORRY.

DON'T KEEP APOLOGIZING, LEO.

- OKAY.
- LEAVE.

THE CASSEROLE WAS FIRST-RATE.

HEY, NEAL!

HEY, WHAT'S HAPPENING?

- I HEAR YOU'RE BACK
ON THE PAYROLL.
- YEAH.

HEAR YOU ARE, TOO.

YEAH, THEY TOOK ME OFF
THE TEN-MOST-WANTED LIST

AND SLAPPED AN "INJUDICIOUS
CONDUCT" IN MY JACKET.

I'LL NEVER MAKE CHIEF.

WELL, LOOK AT THE
BRIGHT SIDE OF IT, BABE.

IT'S STILL "LaRUE 97, WOMEN, 1."

HEY JERRY! LET ME GET A
SHOT AND A BEER, OKAY?

- YOU GOT IT.
- TWICE.

FOR YOU. BEEN A LONG DAY. YOU
GOT TO DRINK FOR BOTH OF US.

- THANKS, JER.
- HIT ME AGAIN
WITH THE SELTZER, JERRY.

GOTTA TELL YA, THIS SELTZER?
IT'S A REAL PICK-ME-UP.

I MADE THIS COP OUT
TO BE A GOLDBRICK.

OR MAYBE A DONUT BRICK.

THIS AFTERNOON, TWO
ROUNDS WERE FIRED AT HIM,

POINT-BLANK
RANGE, BY A MANIAC...

BUM ONE DAY, HERO THE NEXT.

- MM.
- OFFICER RENKO PERSEVERES...

THANKS FOR THE COCOA, JOYCE.
YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME.

THANK YOU.

HONEYMOON OVER THAT SOON?

IMAGINE IT. WOMAN GETS HER
LOVER TO KILL HER HUSBAND,

CONS LaRUE INTO
KILLING HER LOVER,

AND WE CAN'T LAY A GLOVE ON HER.

- IN OTHER LOCAL NEWS...
- GOTTA ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES,
BIG GUY.

SOME WEEKS, EVERYBODY
GETS AWAY WITH MURDER.

- YEAH, GREAT.
- READ THE CUP.

"DON'T BRING THE OFFICE HOME."

MM.

- HIS AND HERS?
- DEFINITELY.

VISUAL AIDS.

I LIKE THE CONCEPT.

FRIENDLY REMINDERS
ALSO OFFERED IN BRAILLE.
