PAST FIRES AND NOTIFIED.

MIKE BELKER'S ON AN ARSON UNDERCOVER

ADJACENT TO THE BOLTON ARMS.

117th AND DECKER.

WE THINK SOME OF THE VAGRANT BUMS THERE

MIGHT BE CAUSING THE GARBAGE FIRES IN THE AREA.

ITEM NINE.

THE DIVISION REMINDS YOU THAT CHRISTMAS SHOPPING SEASON

IS FAST UPON US.

THIS YEAR, ALL AUTHORIZED

UNIFIED CHARITY SANTA CLAUSES

ARE GONNA BE ISSUED THIS PLASTIC LAPEL SHIELD.

UH, ANY SANTA CAUGHT SOLICITING WITHOUT IT

IS IN VIOLATION.

IT AIN'T AGAINST THE LAW TO DRESS UP LIKE SANTA,

BUT YOU GOTTA HAVE THIS PIN,

YOU WANNA MAKE A BUCK OFF IT.

NOW THAT'S THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

UM, ITEM TEN.

DIVISION-WIDE REINSTATEMENT

OF THE VEHICLE INSPECTION PROGRAM.

ONE TEAM OF OFFICERS TO EACH PRECINCT.

MIGHT AS WELL COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS AS PROGRESS.

NOW, THE WINNERS OF TODAY'S LOTTERY

TO BE WORKING JEFFERSON

NORTH OF THE OVERPASS

OFFICERS RENKO AND HILL.

COME ON, SARGE!

THAT'S RIGHT, JOE COFFEY. KICK A MAN WHEN HE'S DOWN.

ITEM 11.

P.D.A. INFORMS YOU

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY

FOR THE DENTAL CARE OPTION ON YOUR HEALTH CARE PLAN.

WHICH, AS YOU KNOW,

REQUIRES A 51% SIGN-UP,

OR THE OPTION IS WAIVED.

PEOPLE, YOU DON'T SIGN UP,

WE ALL LOSE.

AND THAT GOES DOUBLE FOR THOSE OF US

ON THE BACK NINE OF LIFE.

EH, WHAT'S A SIGNATURE WORTH TO YOU, SARGE?

NOW THAT'S JUST THE ATTITUDE I'M TALKING ABOUT.

YOU THINK YOU'RE NEVER GONNA GET OLD, DETECTIVE?

HUH?

THE DAY'S GONNA COME WHEN YOUR GUMS

ARE GONNA START ROTTING OUT ON YA.

YOU'LL BE SITTING IN THE CHAIR,

AND THE DENTIST'LL SAY, "I'M SORRY, MR. LARUE,

BUT IT'S BAD NEWS," AND YOU'RE GONNA SAY,

"IF ONLY I'D LISTENED TO THE SARGE."

I'LL BE TAKING NAMES UPSTAIRS.

LET'S ROLL. LET'S GET OUT THERE.

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

IT'S 23 DEGREES.

ABOUT -12 WITH A WINDCHILL FACTOR.

THIS JOB'S ABOUT GOT AS MUCH DIGNITY

I CAN'T TAKE IT...

HEY LEO, LET ME HAVE CONES AND SOME FLARES.

I WOULD OFFER... TO ANYBODY TAKE THIS SHIFT.

GARIBALDI. HEY.

SHOOTING. 363 RIVER CROSSWAY.

PEOPLE, PEOPLE, BEFORE YOU HEAD OUT,

WHO AM I GONNA GET TO SIGN THIS?

NEAL. HOW ABOUT IT?

A POUND OF PREVENTION.

WHAT'S A COUPLE EXTRA BUCKS A MONTH?

YO, STEWART, GET OVER HERE.

WRONG GUY, SARGE.

YOU NEVER HEARD THE EXPRESSION

A POUND OF PREVENTION

IS WORTH A POUND OF CURE.

YOU'RE BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE, SARGE.

YOU GOTTA REALIZE. THE DENTIST IS YOUR ALLY.

- SARGE... - NO. HE IS THE ALLY

- OF YOUR TEETH. - SARGE...

FOR US, WITH THIS INSURANCE COMPANY

BACKING YOU UP, YOU'LL MAKE A TEAM THAT CAN'T BE BEAT.

- PUT OUT YOUR HAND, SARGE. - WHAT FOR?

OKAY? ENOUGH ALREADY?

SATISFIED?

ARMED ROBBERY IN PROGRESS.

SEE SURPLUS STORE.

CORNER OF PEOPLE'S DRIVE

AND 124TH STREET.

WHAT DO WE GOT HERE?

UH, KID CAME IN THROUGH THE WINDOW.

LADY TOOK HIM OUT.

DID YOU NOTIFY RELATIVES?

NAH, IT'S IN THE WORKS.

MRS. MINOT, YOU'LL HAVE TO COME DOWN

TO MAKE A FORMAL STATEMENT.

THE DETECTIVES HERE WILL FINISH UP.

WHAT FOR? I TOLD YOU HOW IT HAPPENED.

PROCEDURE, MA'AM.

WELL, WHERE'S THE SHOTGUN?

IT'S OVER THERE. JOE'S GOT IT.

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU NEED.

S.I.D. LIST ANYTHING?

THERE'S NO FINGERPRINTS YET. THERE'S A COUPLE

OF SKID MARKS ON THE SILL.

I JUST KNEW IT WAS GONNA HAPPEN.

LOOKS LIKE SHOE POLISH.

I'VE BEEN TELLING THE BUILDING MANAGER

TO INSTALL LOCKS ON THE WINDOWS.

THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE LOCKS ON THE DOUBLE-DOORS DOWNSTAIRS.

AND I THINK THAT'S JUST SHAMEFUL.

OFF THE TOES?

THE OTHER DAY, MRS. WINIFRED FROM UPSTAIRS

WAS RAPED BY ONE OF THESE ANIMALS.

AND RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AFTERNOON

IF YOU CAN IMAGINE SUCH A THING.

I MYSELF WAS ROBBED JUST TWO WEEKS AGO.

I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. YOU GOTTA LISTEN TO ME.

HERE SHE COMES!

WE WERE SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU, DEAR.

- ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? - OH, I'M FINE.

OH, GOD BLESS YOU, MARY MINOT.

YOU'RE A HERO.

HEY, HARRY?

THAT KID SAYS HE SAW SOMETHING.

I LIVE IN THE BUILDING.

I KNOW THAT BOY'S FAMILY.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME, SIR?

IT'S RAYMOND CASSIANO.

LOOK, THAT OLD WOMAN.

IS A STONE-KILLER, MAN.

SHE SET IT UP.

YOU ALL DRIVE CAREFUL NOW.

COME ON, IT'S FREEZING OUT HERE.

- I'D LIKE TO TAKE HIS... - I DON'T THINK IT'S THAT MUCH.

- BUT IF YOU SAY SO, OKAY. - WE'LL HAVE TO TAKE YOU IN THEN, PAL.

LOOK.

GUYS, CUT ME A LITTLE SLACK, HUH?

I GOT A VERY IMPORTANT MAN...

I DON'T CARE IF IT'S THE QUEEN OF SHEBA.

- YOU'RE UNDER ARREST. - ALL RIGHT,

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT.

- IF YOU GIVE UP THAT RIGHT... - WHAT'S THE DELAY?

MY, MY, MY.

IT'S PAUL THE WALL.

SRIGNOLI, THEY SAY WE OWE $300

IN TRAFFIC TICKETS.

PAY 'EM. I'LL THROW IN A BONUS.

YOU KNOW THAT'S NOT THE WAY IT'S DONE.

REMEMBER ME TO YOUR LOVELY WIVES.

GET SOMETHING NICE.

FAT MAN, YOU JUST WADED KNEE-DEEP

INTO DOG BUSINESS. YOU'RE BUSTED.

FOR WHAT? PAYING MY FINE?

FOR BRIBERY. GET OUT OF THE CAR.

AH, COME ON.

I DON'T NEED THIS.

NO ONE NEEDS TROUBLE, AM I RIGHT?

ANYTHING YOU SAY CAN AND WILL BE HELD AGAINST YOU

- IN A COURT OF LAW. - I GOT ONE THING TO SAY TO YOU.

ED GREENGLASS.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPEAK TO AN ATTORNEY.

BOBBY. WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO CALL A VAN.

I CAN'T EVEN GET THIS GUY'S HANDS BEHIND

TO PUT THE CUFFS ON HIM.

ALL RIGHT, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPEAK...

THERE AIN'T NO WAY THIS ROEBUCK IS GONNA FIT IN...

THIS HOTSHOT LAWYER GETS $200 AN HOUR.

AND HE EATS NOBODIES LIKE YOU.

YOU LOOK LIKE YOU ATE THIS LIMOUSINE FOR BREAKFAST, PAL.

NOW GET MOVING.

THERE SHE IS.

COULD WE HAVE A STATEMENT, PLEASE?

CAN WE GET A PICTURE?

THIS WAY, MRS. MINOT.

WILL I BE ABLE TO TALK TO THOSE REPORTERS LATER?

YES, AS SOON AS WE'RE DONE HERE.

- OH. - IF YOU'LL JUST HAVE A SEAT

- RIGHT HERE. YES. - HERE? THANK YOU, DEAR.

- I'LL BE RIGHT BACK. - ALL RIGHT, DEAR.

CAPTAIN.

ABOUT THIS SHOOTING WITH THE OLD LADY?

WHAT ABOUT IT?

SHE SAYS HER SON'S CITY COUNCILMAN DETWEILER.

HAS HE BEEN NOTIFIED?

SAYS SHE ASKED THE NEIGHBOR TO CALL. THOUGHT YOU OUGHTA KNOW.

YEAH, WELL, THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE YOU SHOULD KNOW,

CAPTAIN. WE GOT A WITNESS HERE

WHO CLAIMS SHE MURDERED THE KID.

SHE PUT THE TV ON THE SILL

IN FRONT OF THE WINDOW.

AND SHE LEAVES THE WINDOW OPEN.

IN THIS WEATHER? SO I TELL HER,

"MRS. MINOT, YOU'RE ASKING FOR TROUBLE WITH THIS."

AND SHE SAYS TO ME,

ANYONE TRIES TO ROB HER AGAIN,

THEY'RE GONNA GET WHAT THEY DESERVE.

UH, MRS. MINOT WAS BURGLARIZED

TWO WEEKS AGO.

THERE'S A NEIGHBOR-LADY SAYS MINOT TOLD HER

SHE WAS GONNA, QUOTE,

SETTLE THE HASH WITH THESE PEOPLE.

SHE KEEPS THE GUN OUT BESIDE HER CHAIR. I'VE SEEN IT.

YEAH, IT'S A 12-GAUGE, SO IT'S NOT EXACTLY A SQUIRREL GUN.

PLUS, IF YOU DON'T KNOW,

SHE DID THE EXACT SAME THING THREE YEARS AGO.

KILLED A MAN IN HER APARTMENT.

IS THAT TRUE?

WELL, SHE WAS IN THE CORRIDOR.

I GOTTA CALL INTO THE HEIGHTS.

WE'RE GETTING A FULL STATEMENT RIGHT NOW FROM

MRS. MINOT.

FOLLOW UP WITH THE HEIGHTS.

THANK YOU, MR. CASSIANO.

I KNEW HIM!

THIS WAS A BOY SHE KILLED.

MAYBE 14.

COUNCILMAN DETWEILER?

OFFICER HILL, HOW'RE YOU DOING?

FRANK, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?

I GET A PHONE CALL FROM SOME HYSTERICAL WOMAN

SAYING MY MOTHER WALKED IN ON SOME PUNK

RANSACKING HER APARTMENT.

WALKED IN AND KILLED HIM, COUNCILMAN.

I'M AWARE OF THAT, FRANK.

IS SHE ALL RIGHT?

SEEMS SO.

LORD, THAT WOMAN IS A ROCK.

WHERE IS SHE? CAN I SEE HER?

IN INTERROGATION, GIVING A STATEMENT.

I DON'T KNOW. I HAVE TOLD HER

TIME AND TIME AGAIN

TO GET OUT OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.

HOW DO WE PROTECT OUR ELDERLY?

SOME OF OUR ELDERLY DON'T NEED PROTECTION.

FRANK?

I WANNA THANK YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE

FOR ALL YOU'RE DOING.

AND I KNOW WE'VE HAD OUR DIFFERENCES,

BUT, FOR ME,

IT'S WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE.

CAPTAIN, HEIGHTS CONFIRMS.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY, MINOT'S APARTMENT.

THREE YEARS AGO, JULY. SAME WEAPON, SAME RESULT.

GUY WAS BLOWN AWAY.

- HOW WAS IT RULED? - SELF-DEFENSE.

JUSTIFIABLE.

AND CAPTAIN...

WE FOUND SHOE POLISH RESIDUE ON THE WINDOWSILL.

AND SCUFF MARKS ON THE TOES OF THE KID'S SHOES.

LIKE MAYBE THE BODY WAS DRAGGED IN

THROUGH THE WINDOW.

WE GOT A PROBLEM HERE, GENTLEMEN?

I'M ED GREENGLASS.

REPRESENTING MR. SRIGNOLI.

I CHECKED THE HOLDING FACILITIES HERE.

THEY'RE NOT ADEQUATE.

THE PLACE IS A PIT.

DUE TO MY CLIENT'S PHYSICAL CONDITION,

I'M URGING RELEASE PENDING ARRAIGNMENT.

THIS IS MAN WITH AN ELABORATE MEDIAL HISTORY.

HE'S HAD BYPASS SURGERY. HE'S ASTHMATIC.

WAIT A MINUTE, DIDN'T YOU TRY THIS TWO YEARS AGO?

THE STATE SUPREME COURT? THEY WHEELED HIM IN

- IN A DOLLY. - I HAD TWO DOCTORS

TESTIFY I HAD PHLEBITIS.

MY WHOLE LEG SWELLED UP LIKE A BALLOON.

- IT'S A BALLOON NOW, BUD. - COME ON, GENTLEMEN.

WE HAVE A SPECIAL SET OF CELLS FOR OCCASIONS SUCH AS THIS.

SCHNITZ, TAKE MR. SRIGNOLI TO THE GARDEN LEVEL.

WAIT A MINUTE, I GET NUTS IN TIGHT SPACES.

I CAN'T STAND FEELING CONFINED.

READ A MAGAZINE.

I DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THIS FROM YOU LITTLE CONS.

YOU TOADS HAVE BEEN IN MY FACE ALL MORNING.

COME ON, MR. SRIGNOLI.

WHEN I GET THROUGH SUING THIS DEPARTMENT,

THERE WON'T BE A BRICK...

THERE WON'T BE A PIECE OF PIPE.

THIS IS THE KIND OF PLACE THAT GETS BOMBED.

LISTEN, BLIMPO.

I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE ON THE STREET,

YOU DON'T COME IN HERE AND TALK THAT WAY.

I NEED TO CONTROL MYSELF HERE.

I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO GET WORKED UP.

I GOT VIOLET AS THE COLOR OF YOUR FACE.

WHY DON'T YOU GO DOWNSTAIRS? GET YOURSELF CALM.

WHO ARE YOU?

HUH?

I ASKED YOU A QUESTION.

WHAT, DO YOU THINK THIS IS A PARK?

ANYONE CAN JUST WALK IN HERE?

- SHUT UP. - HE STEPPED ON MY FOOT!

WHY DON'T YOU SUCK ON YOUR JUG AND SHUT UP?

YOU GOTTA PAY RENT.

PEOPLE CAN'T JUST DRIFT IN HERE FOR FREE.

WHAT'S RENT?

WHAT DO YOU GOT, HUH?

FOOD?

YOU GOT FOOD? YOU GOT CIGARETTES?

HUH? WHAT DO YOU GOT IN YOUR POCKETS?

TAKE YOUR FILTHY HOOKS!

OUTTA MY CLOTHES!

OKAY?!

OKAY.

THIS IS MY ALLEY NOW.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

YOU'LL BEHAVE YOURSELVES, MAYBE I WILL LET YOU STAY.

WE'RE SORRY. WE'RE VERY SORRY.

HEY, COME ON, GET UP.

GET UP. GET UP. GET UP.

AAH!

WHERE ARE YOU NOW, PUNK?

IT'S 302.

YOU JUST TELL 'EM TO STOP!

OPEN UP!

HE'S CRAZY! HE'S CRAZY!

WE'RE POLICE OFFICERS!

WE'VE HAD A COMPLAINT, FLOWERS.

LET US IN!

LET...

PUT THAT CAN DOWN!

ALL RIGHT! DON'T DO IT.

CALL FOR BACKUP.

MR. FLOWERS WON'T IDENTIFY

AN AGENDA, FRANK.

HE'S GOING ON ABOUT THIS GUY ORTIZ.

SUPERMARKET MANAGER WHO CANNED HIM LAST WEEK.

I WANT ORTIZ!

LET'S ALERT THE FIREMEN.

- BRING ME ORTIZ! - WE TALKED TO HIM.

NO, ORTIZ WON'T COME DOWN. HE'S SCARED TO DEATH OF THE GUY.

WHERE ARE YOU, ORTIZ?

GOTTA GO, FRANK.

FRANK? HE'S DOUSED

HIS ENTIRE APARTMENT.

HE'S CARRYING THE WOMAN AROUND, AND IT LOOKS LIKE

SHE'S SOAKED TOO.

NO, NO. IF WE TRY TO MAKE A SHOT,

I THINK THE WHOLE ROOM'LL GO UP.

TALK TO YOU LATER, FRANK.

ORTIZ SAYS BURN IT ALL!

I'M SURE MR. ORTIZ DOESN'T WANT THAT, MR. FLOWERS.

YOU DON'T KNOW HIM LIKE I DO.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!

OKAY, OKAY, MR. FLOWERS.

AT LEAST...

AT LEAST SEND YOUR SON OUT.

YOU DON'T WANT HIM TO GET HURT, DO YOU?

MR. FLOWERS?

HELP ME, SOMEBODY!

MR. FLOWERS?

WOULD YOU PICK UP THE PHONE, PLEASE? I WANNA TALK TO YOU

ON THE PHONE. I'M GONNA GO THERE RIGHT NOW.

PICK IT UP, PLEASE.

FLOWERS? OKAY, THERE YOU GO.

THERE YOU GO.

NOW LISTEN, MR. FLOWERS. IF YOU DON'T WANT

YOUR SON TO GET HURT,

WHY DON'T YOU SEND HIM OUT OF THE APARTMENT?

AND I'LL SEND SOMEONE UPSTAIRS...

OKAY. OKAY.

MR. FLOWERS, NO ONE'S COMING UPSTAIRS.

MR. FLOWERS, YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

NO ONE'S COMING UP.

FLOWERS!

AAH!

THAT'S A HELL OF A KICK!

IDIOT!

ARE WE GONNA ROLL THIS GUY OR WHAT?

HEY.

HEY.

AH, BACK AMONGST THE LIVING, HUH?

I BET YOU'RE GONNA WISH

YOU WERE DEAD.

I'M A POLICE OFFICER.

OH! WHERE'S YOUR BADGE?

HUH? WHERE'S YOUR GUN?

WHERE'S YOUR HAT? WHERE'S YOUR EARS?

AAH!

THERE'S COPS.

COMING, LOOKING FOR ME.

YOU'RE ALL GOING TO JAIL.

I WANNA HEAR YOU SAY IT.

SAY...

"I'M IN TROUBLE NOW."

SAY IT!

SAY IT!

SAY IT!

SAY IT.

SAY IT.

I'M...

I'M...

I'M TELLING YOU

FOR THE LAST TIME.

I'M TELLING YOU FOR THE LAST TIME!

YOU THINK I WOULDN'T, HUH?

I'VE KILLED GUYS.

I WANT HIS SHOES.

TAKE ALL YOU NEED.

OH, NO.

NO.

NOW YOU KNOW WHAT'S WHAT, HUH?

YOU AIN'T NO COP NOW.

S.I.D. CONFIRMS. THE POLISH ON THE SILL

MATCH TO THE KID'S SHOES.

THERE'S ENOUGH BLOOD AND TISSUE ON THE FIRE ESCAPE

TO DEFINITELY SUPPORT THAT HE WAS SHOT OUTSIDE THE WINDOW.

SO SHE DRAGGED HIM INSIDE? THIS LITTLE OLD LADY?

HE'S REACHING FOR THE T.V. SHE FIRES.

HE FALLS OVER THE SILL. HE WASN'T VERY BIG.

ALL SHE HAS TO DO IS YANK HIM.

ADD THE STATEMENT SHE MADE TO CASSIANO.

THE NEIGHBOR WOMAN. THE PREVIOUS SHOOTING.

WE HAVE A MAKEABLE CASE HERE, IRWIN.

IF WE DON'T CHARGE, WE'RE DERELICT.

- YOUR DECISION, FRANK. - CHARGE.

SO MUCH FOR MY POLITICAL FUTURE.

OF COURSE. I UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY.

THANK YOU, MY DEAR.

MRS. MINOT, I'M CAPTAIN FURILLO.

WELL, CAPTAIN, IF YOUR PEOPLE ARE QUITE FINISHED,

I'D LIKE TO GO HOME NOW.

FIRST, I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT

THIS MORNING'S SHOOTING.

ISN'T THIS SOMETHING?

THEY COME AND GO, AS BOLD AS YOU PLEASE,

AND IT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE ON THE DRUGS.

IT'S THE DRUGS THAT MAKE THEM FERAL.

MRS. MINOT.

WE THINK MAYBE YOU COMMITTED A CRIME.

WELL, A CRIME WAS COMMITTED, SIR.

BUT BY THAT MAN.

HE BROKE INTO MY APARTMENT.

I UNDERSTAND.

THERE SEEMS TO BE EVIDENCE THAT INDICATES

YOU SET A TRAP FOR HIM.

OH, THAT'S LUDICROUS!

I THINK YOU'RE VERY RUDE

TO MAKE THESE INSINUATIONS.

NEVERTHELESS, I'M AFRAID WE'RE GOING

TO HAVE TO ARREST YOU.

OH, I DEMAND TO SAY A LAWYER.

I WON'T STAND FOR ANY MORE OF THIS.

NOT FOR ONE SECOND.

NOW WHERE'S MY BAG? YOU HAVE MY BAG...

HENRY JUST CALLED.

THEY'VE GOT THE SUPERMARKET MANAGER

ON HIS WAY TO THE HOTEL.

- SARGE? - WHAT?

WE GOT A SITUATION GOING ON DOWNSTAIRS.

IT'S PRETTY BAD.

AMBULANCE IS ON THE WAY.

ONE-TWO-THREE-FOUR...

IT'S PAUL "THE WALL" SRIGNOLI, CAPTAIN.

HE'S DEAD.

ARE YOU SURE?

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED.

GETS NO MORE BREATH OF LIFE FROM ME.

UH, FRANK! HOWARD ON LINE FOUR.

MR. FLOWERS?

MR. ORTIZ IS HERE,

AND HE WANTS TO STRAIGHTEN THIS WHOLE THING OUT.

HE'S COME DOWN HERE TO TALK TO YOU, MR. FLOWERS.

SO IF YOU PICK UP YOUR PHONE NOW.

WELL, HE'S OUT OF GASOLINE.

HE THREW THE CAN OUT THE WINDOW.

WE'VE GOT HIS FORMER EMPLOYER HERE.

WE'RE GONNA GET THIS WHOLE THING SETTLED...

FLOWERS SEEMS TO WANT TO GIVE IT UP,

BUT I'M AFRAID HE'S NOT GONNA MAKE IT.

PLEASE PICK UP THE PHONE, MR. FLOWERS.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND, MR. ORTIZ?

APOLOGIZE TO HIM. ANYTHING HE WANTS.

YOU JUST AGREE WITH HIM. YOU GO ALONG WITH IT.

MR. FLOWERS?

THIS IS LUIS ORTIZ.

NO! NO! NO!

MR. FLOWERS.

MR. ORTIZ WANTS TO TALK TO YOU

AND STRAIGHTEN THIS PROBLEM OUT.

NOW, IF YOU PICK UP THE PHONE...

NO MORE! NO MORE!

HE PICKED UP THE PHONE, HENRY.

THAT'S NOT ORTIZ!

THAT'S NOT ORTIZ! IT'S SATAN!

MR. FLOWERS...

HE SET THE CURTAINS... HOWARD!

TAKE IT!

TAKE IT!

DON'T TAKE MY BABY!

WHERE'S THE KID?

I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T SEE HIM!

IT'S OKAY, KID.

NO! NO! NOT MY BABY!

NOT MY BABY!

LUCY, GET HIM OUT OF HERE!

ALL RIGHT, PEOPLE, LET'S GET BACK HERE.

CLEAR, COME ON.

FLOWERS, WHY'D YOU DO IT?

- HOW'S YOUR WIFE? - FLOWERS, WHY DID YOU DO IT?

HERE COMES COUNCILMAN DETWEILER.

I WANT HIM ON SUICIDE WATCH.

COUNCILMAN, DETWEILER!

COMMENTS ON THE ARREST OF YOUR MOTHER.

UH, NO COMMENT.

WHAT'S YOUR MOTHER BEEN CHARGED WITH?

I'LL MAKE A STATEMENT LATER. THANK YOU.

WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?

DO YOU WANT TO CLOSE THE DOOR?

I KNOW WE HAVE HISTORY, FURILLO, BUT I NEVER THOUGHT

YOU'D BE LAYING FOR ME ALL THESE YEARS

TO TAKE THIS KIND OF A CHEAP, CRUEL SHOT.

COUNCILMAN, WE BELIEVE SHE PREMEDITATED A MURDER.

HUH? WELL, I'M BLOWING THE WHISTLE

ON THIS WHOLE CHARADE RIGHT NOW.

THERE'S THE PUNK'S RAP SHEET.

FOUR B & E'S BY THE TIME HE'S 13.

THE VICTIM'S PREVIOUS RECORD IS NOT AT ISSUE HERE.

A WOMAN THAT AGE.

PUTTING HER THROUGH THIS.

THE STRESS COULD KILL HER.

WE HAVE GROUNDS FOR ARREST.

SUBSTANTIAL FORENSICS AND A WITNESS

WHO CAN PROVIDE MOTIVE AND INTENT.

RAYMOND CASSIANO?

THERE'S YOUR WITNESS.

A.K.A. RAYMOND SANTIAGO.

THERE'S A BENCH WARRANT OUT AGAINST HIM.

BAIL-JUMPING. THE WHOLE SHMEAR.

WHAT KIND OF DEAL DID YOU CUT, FURILLO?

YOU SCRATCHING EACH OTHER'S BACK, HUH?

I WASN'T AWARE OF THIS.

YOU RAILROADING MORONS.

SANDBAGGING ME, COMING AND GOING.

WELL, SHE GETS THE BEST...

1981. MALICIOUS MISCHIEF.

SCHEDULED TO APPEAR.

YOU DON'T MOVE ON THAT WARRANT,

I'M SURE FLETCHER WILL BE HAPPY TO.

DAVID? ARNIE.

NO, I DO UNDERSTAND YOUR DEPARTMENT'S POSITION.

PLEASE TRY TO UNDERSTAND MINE.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

DANIEL?

IN A LITTLE WHILE, YOU'RE GOING TO THE JUVENILE AUTHORITY.

I WAS JUST TALKING TO THE LADY ON THE PHONE,

AND SHE SOUNDS VERY NICE.

AND YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE OTHER CHILDREN THERE.

WHAT'D MY MOM DO WRONG?

WHAT?

WHAT'D MY MOM DO WRONG?

YOUR MOTHER DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG, SWEETHEART.

MY DADDY SAID SHE WAS EVIL.

OH, DANIEL, THAT'S NOT TRUE.

HE DIDN'T MEAN THAT.

SHE'S NOT EVIL.

IT'S JUST THAT... WELL,

YOUR DADDY'S VERY SICK RIGHT NOW...

MY DADDY'S NOT SICK! DON'T SAY THAT ABOUT HIM!

DON'T SAY THAT ABOUT HIM!

HE'S GOT A MAN IN HIM!

I'M ALL RIGHT. I'M ALL RIGHT.

LET ME GO! LET ME GO!

THANK YOU. I'M ALL RIGHT.

- LET ME GO! - LET HIM GO. LET HIM GO.

THEY'LL BE HERE SOON, DANIEL.

SO YOU JUST SIT THERE QUIETLY.

AND, UH, WE'LL SEE ABOUT

GETTING YOU SOMETHING TO EAT.

HE USED TO KEEP THE BODIES IN THE ICE

IN THE FREEZER.

NOT THE BODIES.

THEIR SOULS.

HE TRAPPED THEM.

WHO DID, MR. FLOWERS?

ORTIZ. HE'S SATAN.

HE WON'T ADMIT IT,

BUT I KNOW.

COURSE, HE'S IN ME, TOO.

I TRIED TO HELP HIM.

YOU COULD

SEE THE FACES IN THE EYES.

TWISTED. THE PAIN.

AND...

AND WHEN HE TELLS ME WHAT TO DO,

I...

I HAVE TO DO IT.

I... I HAVE TO BE KEPT...

AWAY.

WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO

TO CONVINCE YOU?

- DID I HURT THE BOY? - HE'S ALL RIGHT.

THEY WANTED HIM, TOO.

THEY WANTED TO NEST

INSIDE HIM.

THEY'D ALREADY TAKEN MY WIFE.

THAT'S WHY I NEEDED...

TO BURN HER.

OH GOD!

WHAT DID I DO?

OH...

OH...

AH, FRANK.

FRANK, THIS IS MR. ALVA.

HE ASKED TO SPEAK TO YOU.

MR. ALVA'S SON, MIGUEL,

WAS KILLED THIS MORNING.

I'M VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS, MR. ALVA.

I HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR YOU, SIR.

IS IT TRUE THAT MY SON WAS UNARMED?

WELL, I'M AFRAID I'M NOT AT LIBERTY...

AND IS IT TRUE THAT THIS WOMAN SHOT THIS BOY

OUTSIDE HER APARTMENT? THAT SHE LEFT THE WINDOW OPEN?

- MR. ALVA... - THAT SHE BAITED A TRAP?

- I AM TOLD THAT IS TRUE. - UH, AS I SAID,

- I'M AFRAID I... - THAT THIS WOMAN

MURDERED MY BOY IN COLD BLOOD?

WELL, THAT'S UP TO A JURY TO DECIDE.

JURY?

HOW AM I TO EXPECT JUSTICE?

A 72-YEAR-OLD WHITE WOMAN?

THE MOTHER OF A COUNCILMAN?

MR. ALVA.

YOU CAN BE ASSURED WE WILL DO OUR BEST.

A PUERTO RICAN BOY?

WITH PREVIOUS ARRESTS?

CAN YOU HONESTLY SAY THAT I WILL GET JUSTICE?

I HAD TO IDENTIFY MY SON

BY THE COLOR OF HIS SHIRT.

HE HAD NO FACE.

SHE'S SLAUGHTERED HIM, DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

MRS. MINOT, THE POLICE FOUND NO FINGERPRINTS

ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE WINDOW.

SO?

IT TENDS TO SUPPORT THEIR CONTENTION

THAT YOU DELIBERATELY LEFT THE WINDOW OPEN.

SO WHAT IF I DID?

MRS. MINOT, I MUST TELL YOU

I'M DEVELOPING A STRONG IMPRESSION

THAT YOU WERE THE ARCHITECT OF THESE EVENTS.

DID YOU KNOW THAT JUST TWO WEEKS AGO,

THESE DRUG FIENDS BROKE INTO MY APARTMENT?

THEY STOLE MY RING.

A SILVER PICTURE FRAME.

THE POLICE CAME, LOOKED AT THE MESS.

WHAT A SHAME, THEY SAID.

BUT WHAT DID THEY DO ABOUT IT?

NOT A THING.

MRS. MINOT, THE POLICE WERE JUST...

I HAVE LIVED IN THAT APARTMENT 30 YEARS, MISSY.

I'VE BEEN A GOOD NEIGHBOR TO EVERYONE.

PUERTO RICANS ALIKE.

AND NEITHER THOSE ANIMALS

NOR MY SON ARE FORCING ME OUT.

THAT'S MY HOME.

THEY ROB.

RAPE. KILL.

SAME THING WITH THE COLOREDS. I KNOW.

DID I BUSHWHACK HIM?

MM-HMM.

YOU BET I DID.

AND I'D DO IT AGAIN.

I MUST WARN YOU.

YOU STAND A CHANCE OF GOING TO JAIL.

HMM.

I'M OLD.

FRAIL.

I WAS DEFENDING MYSELF.

MY DEAR, THEY'LL GIVE ME A MEDAL.

WE'RE NEVER GONNA GET THAT INDIVIDUAL THAT SIZE

OUT OF THAT COUNTY CONFINEMENT, MARK MY WORDS.

I'M TELLING YOU.

WHO WAS THIS GUY, ANYWAY?

HEH, SPARE NO TEARS

FOR PAUL "THE WALL" SRIGNOLI.

BIG TIME SHYLOCK.

EH, THOUGHT HE WAS.

PROBABLY GOT A FEW BODIES BURIED SOMEWHERE.

THEY NEVER GOT HIM ON ANY OF IT.

I NEED A SECOND TO CATCH MY BREATH.

HOW WE COMING HERE?

NOT SO GOOD, SARGE.

HOW DOES A GUY LET HIMSELF BLOAT UP LIKE THAT?

ABSOLUTELY NO SELF-RESTRAINT.

NONE WHATSOEVER.

LIKE JONAH SWALLOWED THE WHALE,

INSTEAD OF THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

YO, JOE COFFEY.

HEYA, SARGE, I GOT A BUM SHOULDER.

YEAH, UH, YOU SEEN MICK BELKER TODAY?

WE'RE WITH THE HOSTAGE TEAM.

HE HASN'T CHECKED IN AND WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE

TO RAISE HIM. HE'S USUALLY LIKE CLOCKWORK.

UH, WHY DON'T YOU GO OUT AND LOOK FOR HIM?

EITHER THAT OR GIVE US A HAND HERE.

YEAH, I'M ON MY WAY.

OKAY. EVERYBODY GRAB A PIECE.

WE GOT ENOUGH HORSES HERE.

WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT.

OKAY, GET HIM OUT OF HERE.

OKAY, ONE-TWO-THREE.

COME ON NOW.

THAT'S IT. OKAY. OH.

TURN HIM AROUND. TURN HIM AROUND.

YEAH, OKAY, ONE MORE.

ONE-TWO-THREE!

OH, THAT...

THAT IS A WORLD'S RECORD.

LET'S SEE CORRECTIONS BEAT THAT.

I TRY TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

YOU THINK I'D DO IT AGAIN?

EXCUSE ME.

THIS IS GINA SRIGNOLI.

PAUL'S WIDOW.

SHE'S HERE TO SEE HER HUSBAND.

MY SYMPATHIES, MRS. SRIGNOLI.

THANK YOU.

THINGS ARE A LITTLE HECTIC AROUND HERE TODAY.

BUT... BUT...

CAN I USE YOUR PHONE?

YEAH.

HE WANTS TO FILE A $10 MILLION

WRONGFUL DEATH SUIT AGAINST YOU.

MRS. SRIGNOLI?

YES?

HI. I'M DETECTIVE HARRY GARIBALDI.

ON BEHALF OF ALL OF US HERE,

I... I'D JUST LIKE TO EXPRESS OUR DEEPEST CONDOLENCES.

THAT'S KIND OF YOU.

I KNOW THAT PAUL WASN'T ALWAYS

ON THE BEST OF TERMS

WITH THE POLICE.

SO IT'S GRATIFYING TO KNOW HE HAD A FRIEND.

DID YOU KNOW THAT HE...

HE TALKED ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME?

HE NEVER MENTIONED YOU.

BUT THEN, HE LIKED TO KEEP

HIS BUSINESS AFFAIRS PRIVATE.

WHY DON'T YOU LET ME GET YOU A CUP OF COFFEE,

AND WHEN THEY'RE FINISHED DOWNSTAIRS,

THEY'LL LET US KNOW.

OKAY. UM...

WAS HIS DEATH PAINFUL?

OH, NO. VERY SUDDEN. LIKE THAT.

BE STILL MY HEART.

WHO WAS THAT?

THE GRIEVING WIDOW.

I'VE HAD IT WITH WIDOWS.

HOW DOES A GIRL LIKE THAT WIND UP

WITH A CREEP LIKE SRIGNOLI?

MAYBE THE MAN HAD CERTAIN QUALITIES.

LOOK AT GARIBALDI.

HEY, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM, LOVER?

THAT GUY IS A TOTAL SLEAZE.

- HOLD ON A SECOND. - YOU SEE SOMETHING?

AH, NOTHING.

THAT'S IT. THAT'S MICK'S CAR.

HE STILL MIGHT BE THERE.

MAYBE WE SHOULD CALL IT IN.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AROUND FIRST.

SOMEONE MUST HAVE SEEN HIM.

HEY.

HEY, MISTER.

HOW LONG YOU BEEN SITTING THERE?

ABOUT SEVEN YEARS.

THE CAR PARKED THERE. YOU SEE THE GUY DRIVING IT?

YOU GOT SOMETHING TO SAY, YOU'D BETTER SAY IT NOW, OR I'M RUNNING YOU IN.

LET GO, LADY.

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.

I HEARD SOME THINGS.

- YEAH? - LIKE WHAT KIND OF THINGS?

WELL, SOME OF THE GUYS WERE

BOASTING, YOU KNOW?

TALKING BIG ABOUT ROLLING SOME GUY.

WHERE?

IN A PLACE.

YOU SHOW US.

IT'LL COST YOU.

YEAH, TWO BUCKS. COME ON.

COME ON.

MICK?

MICK BELKER?

OH NO.

MICK.

- DON'T LOOK AT ME. - GIVE HIM YOUR COAT.

MICK, YOU'RE BEING CRAZY.

HEY, LOOK, LET US TAKE YOU TO A DOCTOR.

LET US CALL IT IN. SOMEBODY ELSE CAN

- COME AROUND, PICK 'EM UP. - NO.

HEY, LOOK, MAN. IT'S FREEZING COLD.

YOU'RE HURT.

- HEY, THIS IS REALLY STUPID. - I'M ALL RIGHT.

LOOK, I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO.

I GOTTA DO THIS MYSELF. PLEASE.

MICK. ONE HOUR.

YOU CALL IT IN ONE HOUR, OR WE'RE COMING BACK.

WATCH YOUR FEET, SARGE.

WHOA WHOA WHOA.

THAT OLD PARABLE ABOUT

MUHAMMAD AND THE MOUNTAIN

COMES TO MIND.

MUHAMMAD WON'T COME TO THE MOUNTAIN...

WE DON'T NEED A PARABLE, LIEUTENANT.

WE NEED A FORKLIFT.

ACTUALLY, IN THIS CASE, IT'S THE MOUNTAIN

- THAT CAN'T GET TO MUHAMMAD. - WHAT?

WELL, WHAT I'M SIMPLY SUGGESTING IS

THAT WE CALL IN THE CORONER, CORDON OFF THE AREA.

LET HIM PROCEED WITH HIS AUTOPSY,

AND THEN WE'LL REMOVE THIS FELLA PIECE BY PIECE.

TEXAS CHAIN SAW CORONER.

I DON'T THINK SO, HOWARD.

SO WHAT'S YOUR BRIGHT IDEA?

SPIT AND AXLE GREASE.

THAT'S THE SPIRIT.

FRANK. IN HERE.

I'LL TAKE YOUR PLACE, CAPTAIN.

STRAIGHT AND TO THE POINT.

DETWEILER'S SCHEDULED A PRESS CONFERENCE

FOR 5:00 THIS AFTERNOON. YOU'RE TAKING US

INTO A HORNET'S NEST, AND I WON'T BE TAKEN.

WE CAN MAKE OUR CASE.

AND SAY YOU DO MAKE IT STAND UP. WHAT DO YOU GAIN?

SAY YOU SEND HERE TO JAIL FOR SIX MONTHS. A YEAR.

WHAT'VE YOU GAINED, AND WHAT HAVE YOU LOST?

YOU GAVE DETWEILER THE NAME OF OUR WITNESS.

A BAIL-JUMPING EX-CON?

CORNERSTONE OF YOUR CASE? YOU BET I DID.

WHEN THAT GETS OUT, THEY'LL BE

THROWING ON HIS MOM A TICKER-TAPE PARADE.

ARE YOU SAYING PUBLIC PRESSURE OUTWEIGHS FACTS OF LAW?

I'M SAYING THE ENTIRE CRIMINAL JUSTICE COMMUNITY

IS AGAINST YOU, CAPTAIN.

SO SHE KILLED SOME STREET SCUM

AS HE'S COMMITTING A CRIME. SO WHAT?

WHAT ABOUT A MAN WHO TRIES TO INCINERATE

HIS WIFE AND HIS SON?

ISN'T THAT THE REAL OUTRAGE?

SORT OUT YOUR PRIORITIES, FRANK.

I'M BUSY CLEANING UP YOUR MESS.

EXCUSE ME.

WHOA! OOH!

WHAT?

NOW I'VE DONE IT!

I'VE HERNIATED MYSELF.

I'VE...

- WHAT WAS THAT? - UH, BOILER. KICKS UP SOME...

I CAN'T BEAR IT!

IT'S WORSE THAN THE LAST TIME!

DEFENDANT MOVES FOR 90 DAY PSYCHIATRIC EVALUATION.

- DENIED. - THEN 60.

DEFENDANT HEARS VOICES, YOUR HONOR.

SO DOES EVERYBODY.

AND THEY DON'T POUR GAS ON PEOPLE.

COUNSELOR.

I'M NO PSYCHOLOGIST.

BUT I'M NOT GIVING DEFENDANT IN THESE HEINOUS CIRCUMSTANCES

60 DAYS TO PULL THE FREUDIAN WOOL OVER OUR EYES.

48 HOURS SUMMARY PSYCH WORKUP.

REMAND TO COUNTY.

SHORT DATE FOR PRELIMINARY.

NEXT.

WHAT'S 48 HOURS MEAN?

- TWO DAYS. - WHAT?

IT MEANS THEY INTEND TO FIND YOU SANE.

INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER? SINCE WHEN?

SINCE TWO HOURS OF YELLING AND SCREAMING

BETWEEN MY BOSS AND YOURS.

WILL COUNSEL PLEASE APPROACH?

YOU TOO, CAPTAIN.

GENTLEMEN. IS THIS IS A TOSS?

- ABSOLUTELY NOT. - IRWIN?

WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR BAIL. THE CIRCUMSTANCES

ARE OBVIOUSLY EXCEPTIONAL.

IF I MAY SAY SO, JUDGE,

THE ONLY THING EXCEPTIONAL HERE

IS HOW PUBLIC PERCEPTION

IS SHAPING JUDICIAL PERCEPTION.

IN THE LAST CASE,

WE HAD A CERTIFIABLE CANDIDATE FOR A PADDED CELL

WHOSE LUNACY HAS BEEN CONVENIENTLY OVERLOOKED

BECAUSE THE PUBLIC REGARDS HIS CONDUCT AS HEINOUS.

RIGHT HERE, WE HAVE A PERFECTLY SANE WOMAN

WHO'S WALKING AWAY FROM A MURDER.

BECAUSE THE PUBLIC PERCEIVES HER CONDUCT AS HEROIC.

THANK YOU SINCERELY, CAPTAIN.

NOW. WOULD WE ALL STEP BACK, PLEASE?

RELEASED ON RECOGNIZANCE.

LONG DATE.

OF COURSE, THERE'S STILL AN OUTSTANDING

CHARGE AGAINST HER.

IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF FORMALITY.

WHERE DID YOU LEARN TO SHOOT, MARY?

OH, I WAS RAISED ON A FARM, BUT I'VE KEPT PRACTICE.

THAT WOMAN KILLED MY BOY!

SHE BUTCHERED HIM! SHE KILLED HIM!

MURDERER!

MR. ALVA, NOT HERE. NOT NOW.

GET THAT MAN AWAY!

GET HIM OUTTA HERE!

SHE KILLED HIM!

WE GOT SANTA CLAUS ON DISPLAY. LET'S GO.

THINK WE GOT ENOUGH ROPE ON THIS GUY?

I WANT EVERY AVAILABLE BODY

PULLING ON THE END OF THESE ROPES.

YOU SUPPOSE THIS IS HOW THEY BUILD THE PYRAMIDS?

WELL, HE SURE WAS A HUGE GUY.

POOR PAUL.

HE TRIED DIETS, BUT HE HAD

ABSOLUTELY NO WILLPOWER.

I'M WONDERING. I DON'T WANNA GET TOO PERSONAL,

AND YOU CERTAINLY DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER THIS

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO.

WHAT, HARRY?

WELL, I'M KIND OF WONDERING HOW A WOMAN LIKE YOU

GOT HOOKED UP WITH A GUY LIKE THAT?

OH.

HE WAS JUST LONELY.

LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.

AND HE HAD A GENTLE WAY ABOUT HIM.

HE LIKED TO CARE OF ME.

AND I LIKE THAT.

A LOT.

- EVERYTHING SECURE UP THERE? - RIGHT, SARGE.

SEE, I WAS JUST 15 WHEN WE MET,

AND WHEN HE FIRST POPPED THE QUESTION,

HONESTLY, I DIDN'T KNOW AT FIRST.

I WAS VERY YOUNG.

AND MY DAD HATED HIM.

I SAID TO MYSELF, "GINA,

"WHERE ARE YOU GONNA FIND

"ANOTHER MAN LIKE THAT?

"A MAN SO KIND

"AND SO GIVING.

"A MAN WITH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS SOMEWHERE

"WHICH THE GOVERNMENT WILL NEVER FIND.

"A MAN THAT'S HAD

TWO MAJOR HEART OPERATIONS?"

ONE-TWO-THREE!

GINA!

OH LORD, HE'S ALIVE!

MAMMA MIA.

THE FAT PIG HAS COME BACK TO LIFE!

I'M CURSED!

UH, IT'S BEEN NICE TALKING TO YOU.

STOP BY SOMETIME.

HI.

HI.

IT LOOKS AS IF YOU'VE CAUGHT A SHINER.

DOES IT SHOW?

TOUGH SITUATION.

HANDLED YOURSELF WELL.

THANKS.

THAT POOR KID, HE HAD TO UNLOAD ON SOMEBODY.

I'M AFRAID HE'S GONNA BE UNLOADING ON A LOT OF PEOPLE

IN A FEW YEARS.

HOPE NOT.

YEAH.

GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.

AAH!

GET! UP!

OW!

WHERE'S MY BADGE AND GUN?

WHERE'S MY BADGE AND GUN?

WHAT?

YOU CAN'T DO NOTHING TO ME

THAT AIN'T BEEN DONE BEFORE.

BUT WE DID SOMETHING TO YOU

DIDN'T WE?

YEAH.

WIPE YOUR NOSE. YOU'RE A MESS.
