PREVIOUSLY ON HILL STREET BLUES...

I WAS, LIKE, IN THE MIDDLE OF A CRISIS.

ROBIN AND ME ARE BACK, AND YOU'RE ACTING ALL JEALOUS.

- OF WHAT? - ROBIN.

DON'T FLATTER YOURSELF.

WHAT IF I TOOK HER FOR A TEST SPIN?

YOU, UH... YOU MEAN A... A SOLO DRIVE?

YOU MEAN, YOU JUST LET SOME GUY

JUST DRIVE OFF IN YOUR BUS LIKE THAT?

SO, GINA, WHAT DO YOU SAY WE GO OUT

AND HAVE A NICE, QUIET VICTORY CELEBRATION?

HENRY AND I ARE GOING TO THE RED LION.

LIEUTENANT HUNTER'S MOTOR HOME WAS STOLEN.

THE LIEUTENANT HAS ASKED ME TO EMPHASIZE

HE DOESN'T WANT THIS HANDLED ANY DIFFERENT

THAN ANY OTHER GRAND THEFT AUTO.

MEANING, HE NEVER WANTS TO SEE IT AGAIN.

NOW, BCI SHOWS A WANT ON THE PERP.

HE'S A WHITE MALE, MID-30S,

GOES BY THE NAME LAWRENCE MCKEEVER.

REAL NAME, LONNIE STONE.

HE'S WANTED IN MASSACHUSETTS FOR SNATCHING HIS SON,

AGED SIX, NAMED CHRISTOPHER, ON A CUSTODY DISPUTE.

UH, THE GUY'S BEEN LEAPFROGGING THE COUNTRY EVER SINCE

IN STOLEN VEHICLES.

COMPLETE DESCRIPTION UPSTAIRS.

NOW, ITEM 11... ASSIGNMENTS.

OFFICER COFFEY IS RELEASED FROM NORMAL TOUR TODAY.

HE IS GOING TO BE ATTENDING A LECTURE

AND A TRAINING SESSION

WITH SERGEANT KASS OF THE CANINE QUAD.

OFFICER BUZHARDT'S GONNA RIDE

WITH SERGEANT BATES AGAIN TODAY.

ALL RIGHT. WOMEN, WOMEN, WOMEN, WOMEN!

CAPTAIN FURILLO TODAY IS ON A COMMAND RETREAT DOWNTOWN

AT THE HOTEL MARQUIS.

IN HIS ABSENCE,

LIEUTENANT CALLETANO HAS ASSUMED STATION COMMAND.

CAPTAIN MARVEL.

NOW, LAST ITEM...

LAST ITEM IS FROM DIVISION,

WHO WOULD LIKE US TO KNOW OVERTIME IS BACK.

SO, WE'VE GOT THESE BALMY TEMPERATURES,

WE'VE GOT THE PROSPECT

OF A FEW MORE BUCKS IN OUR POCKETBOOK.

LET'S RIDE THAT GOOD FEELING. LET'S GET OUT THERE...

DO IT TO THEM BEFORE THEY DO IT TO US!

OFFICER, UH, COFFEY, RIGHT?

- RIGHT. - SERGEANT KASS.

- NICE TO MEET YOU. - HOW ARE YOU?

YOU'VE GOT GINGER HERE AND BARON.

OH, BOY.

SO, ARE YOU GUYS GONNA BE NICE TO ME

ON MY FIRST DAY OR WHAT?

THERE YOU GO. GOOD MANNERS. SHAKE HANDS.

WHO'S YOUR MAN? COME ON, SHAKE.

THERE YOU GO. BARON'S NEW TOO.

DON'T WORRY... I GOT HIM IN CUSTOMS.

- GREAT. - LET'S GO.

GOOD MORNING, STAN, HOWARD.

RAY.

LIEUTENANT GOLDBLUME WASN'T AT HOME.

YOU STARTED WITHOUT ME, BUT I'LL FORGIVE YOU.

I HAVE PLANNED NO MAJOR SHAKEUPS.

STANDARD SQUAD ROOM. HOWARD WILL LEAD US.

HENRY, YOU'LL...

UH, I HAVE A LUNCH TODAY, RAY.

NO PROBLEM.

I'LL COVER FOR YOU, OLD SPORT.

GOOD, HOWARD. I APPRECIATE THE EXTRA PITCHING IN.

WELL, LET'S HAVE A GOOD SHIFT.

YEAH.

OH, FRANK, THE RETREAT HAS BEEN CANCELED?

NO, NO, NO, NO, YOU'RE STILL IN COMMAND, RAY.

JUST THOUGHT I'D TAKE SOME PAPERWORK ALONG

IN CASE THERE'S A BREAK.

MAYBE IF I GET LUCKY,

SOMEBODY WILL PHONE IN AN EMERGENCY.

IT LOOKS GOOD.

YOU DON'T MIND?

IT'S ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE.

THANKS.

WE HAVE A 9-11. ARMED ROBBERY IN PROGRESS.

SEE SURPLUS STORE, CORNER OF PEEBLES DRIVE AND 124TH STREET.

♪♪

HOW ARE YOU DOING, GUYS?

JUST SWELL, SIR.

I SEE YOU'RE DRINKING SOME OF ROSA'S TEA.

THAT'S ROSA'S? IT'S NICE.

I THOUGHT, WHY SHOULDN'T WE HAVE A CHOICE?

THANKS.

ANY PROBLEMS TODAY?

BECAUSE IF YOU DO HAVE ANY PROBLEMS...

WELL, IT'S THIS DAMN SORE THROAT.

C.

RIGHT.

I'M HERE.

MY OFFICE DOOR IS OPEN.

CAN YOU IMAGINE IF THAT HOMBRE

BECOMES A FULL-FLEDGED CAPITANO?

I KNOW YOU HAVE SOME PROBLEMS.

THAT'S WHY MY DOOR IS ALWAYS OPENING.

OH, GIVE THE MAN A CHANCE, RENKO.

HE'S A LITTLE NERVOUS.

THIS TEA IS BITTER.

MMM! IT'S GOOD FOR YOU.

HI.

HI. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

YOU FORGOT YOUR LUNCH THIS MORNING.

I WAS GONNA EAT AT THE DINER.

OH, AND YOU ALSO FORGOT YOUR DRY-CLEANING TICKET.

THE STUFF'S NOT READY UNTIL TOMORROW.

I KNOW. I JUST WANTED TO SEE YOU.

HEY, SARGE, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

CHANGE YOUR MIND ABOUT DINNER TONIGHT?

CAN'T. BOWLING.

YOU WON'T BELIEVE A NICE, ITALIAN GIRL LIKE ME

COULD MAKE ONE OF THE WORLD'S GREAT KIELBASAS?

THE BOWLING LEAGUE IS NOT UNTIL TOMORROW NIGHT, SARGE.

I'VE GOT TO REDRILL MY BALL.

SO, ANOTHER TIME MAYBE.

YEAH.

I GOTTA GO.

I LOVE YOU.

HOW GOES THE LONELINESS OF COMMAND, RAY?

SO FAR, SO GOOD, LIEUTENANT.

YOU LOOK TERRIBLE. OVERSLEEP?

UH-UH. NO SLEEP.

I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE, EVER,

SPENT A NIGHT LIKE I SPENT LAST NIGHT.

YOU SOUND LIKE A MAN IN LOVE.

I NEVER THOUGHT OF MYSELF AS A LOVER,

BUT LAST NIGHT, THIS WOMAN ROTATED ME 180 DEGREES.

I AM DEEPLY PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY,

PHYSICALLY IN LOVE.

IT'S LIKE A BUILDING FELL ON ME.

MMM, I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

EVEN AFTER 22 YEARS,

EVERY TIME ROSA AND I MAKE LOVE,

IT'S LIKE... LIKE A BUILDING FALLING ON ME TOO.

I'M HAPPY FOR YOU.

THANKS, RAY.

IF YOU WANT TO TALK, I'M FREE FOR LUNCH.

I GOT A DATE, REMEMBER?

BUT IF AN EMERGENCY COMES UP,

YOU CAN FIND ME AT THE HOTEL WELLINGTON.

WE'RE GONNA BE THROWING THE SPOTLIGHT

ON A LOT OF THINGS YOU'VE BEEN KEEPING BURIED...

RESENTMENTS, ANIMOSITIES THAT YOU'VE BUILT UP,

MAYBE SOME THINGS

THAT YOU HAVEN'T EVEN ADMITTED TO YOURSELF YET.

NOW, THERE ARE SOME GROUND RULES.

NUMBER ONE, THERE'S NO VIOLENCE.

YOU CAN YELL, YOU CAN SCREAM,

BUT IF YOU STRIKE ANOTHER GUY, YOU'RE OUT.

TWO, THERE'S NO RANK HERE.

WE'RE ALL EQUALS.

WE'RE ON A FIRST-NAME BASIS.

THAT'S NUMBER THREE.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

SO, I'M MIKE. UH, AND YOU'RE...?

WARREN.

UH, I DIDN'T HEAR THAT.

WARREN.

AH.

ARE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE, WARREN?

WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE OFF YOUR COAT AND TIE?

WHAT IS THAT, PART OF THE RULES OR WHAT?

NO, I'M JUST SAYING YOU CAN IF YOU WANT TO.

OH, AND THERE'S NO HARDWARE HERE.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA NEED IT...

ALTHOUGH, AT TIMES, YOU MAY FEEL LIKE YOU DO.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

OFFICER.

YES?

I... I RAN A LIGHT.

I... YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT IF I STOPPED TOO FAST,

I MIGHT LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR.

UH-HUH.

ANYTHING ELSE, OFFICER?

WELL, I THINK YOU MIGHT

GET THAT STEERING WHEEL CHECKED OUT

BEFORE IT MELTS ON YOU COMPLETELY.

HUH?

NO, NOTHING.

UM, LICENSE AND REGISTRATION, MAN.

OOPH.

PAUL STOVER? IS THAT YOU?

YES, SIR.

HMM.

IS THIS YOUR STOVER, MR. CAR?

- YES, SIR. - UH...

HMM?

LOOK.

NO!

WELL, MR. STOVER, THE GOOD NEWS...

WE'RE GONNA LET YOU GO WITH A WARNING TODAY.

THE OTHER GOOD NEWS IS THAT YOU WIN AN AWARD

FOR HAVING THE UGLIEST DRIVER'S LICENSE

I EVER SAW IN MY LIFE.

LOOK AT THE PICTURE, MAN.

YOU ARE ALLOWED TO WEAR YOUR FALSE TEETH

WHEN YOU HAVE THEM PICTURES TAKEN.

I FORGOT 'EM THAT DAY.

"I FORGOT 'EM THAT DAY."

YOU'RE ALL RIGHT.

JUST A MOMENT, SIR.

"I FORGOT 'EM THAT DAY."

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I AM ABOUT TO JUST FALL OUT, MAN.

ME TOO!

HE LOOKS LIKE MISTER ED.

BOBBY.

HUH?

I FEEL STRANGE.

I FEEL LIKE

SOMEONE HAS PERPETRATED SOMETHING ON US,

AND I AM CERTAIN THAT I AM UNDER THE INFLUENCE

OF SOME ILLEGAL SUBSTANCE.

YEAH.

STRANGE.

BOBBY...

DID I EVER TELL YOU THAT I CONSIDER YOU

TO BE THE BROTHER THAN I NEVER HAD?

RENKO, YOU HAVE A BROTHER.

I KNOW, BUT SOMETIMES I FEEL THAT YOU ARE ME...

THAT I'M OVER HERE, AND YOU'RE OVER THERE.

YOU ARE ME.

I FEEL, MY BROTHER,

I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU THAT I LOVE YOU.

OH.

THAT'S WHAT I'M... I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU.

VICE-VERSA, ANDY. VICE-VERSA, MAN. OH.

I KNOW.

CAN I GET MY LICENSE BACK?

WHO ARE YOU?

GET AWAY FROM US, PLEASE.

I STALLED OUT, OFFICER.

WE'RE JUST ABOUT HOOKED UP.

YEAH, NICE GOING, STOPPING IN THE DRIVING LANE.

IT'S THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET CLOSE.

LOOK, YOU'RE JAMMING TRAFFIC. GET IT MOVED.

JEEZ, WE'RE ALMOST HOOKED UP. COULD HE JUST...

GET IT MOVED OR GET IT CITED, PAL.

OFFICER BUZHARDT, CHECK YOUR ITEM 10 ROLL CALL SITE.

GET IN POSITION, PLEASE.

- HEY! - AAH!

NO MISTAKES NOW! DON'T MAKE ME DO SOMETHING NOW.

OKAY, JUST TAKE IT EASY. TAKE IT REAL EASY.

YEAH, WE'LL ALL TAKE IT EASY.

WE ALL JUST RECOGNIZED EACH OTHER.

OPEN THE DOOR, CHRIS!

WE'RE GOING INSIDE, BUZHARDT,

AND YOU'RE GOING INSIDE WITH US.

OKAY, OKAY, JUST DON'T KILL ME.

I'M NOT GONNA KILL YOU. COME ON.

HEY, HEY, LOOK, I GOT AN IDEA HERE.

NOBODY'S BEEN HURT. THE KID'S THERE.

JUST PUT THAT GUN DOWN RIGHT NOW

AND WE'LL WORK IT OUT... WHAT DO YOU SAY?

I'M WITH YOU, LADY.

GIVE ME SOMEONE TO TALK TO,

WE'LL WORK IT ALL OUT.

GET THE DOOR, GET THE DOOR.

THE WINDOW, CHRIS!

MOVE OUT. SWAT IN POSITION.

HOW ARE WE DOING, FOLKS?

GOT ME SOMEONE TO TALK TO?

MR. STONE, IT'S LIEUTENANT HOWARD HUNTER.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

NOT ON YOUR LIFE.

A LITTLE LATE, GETTING BACK FROM MY TEST DRIVE.

THE HELL WITH THE VEHICLE, MR. STONE.

I WAS HOPING WE COULD NEGOTIATE

A SAFE CONCLUSION TO THIS SITUATION.

HOW'S YOUR BOY AND OFFICER BUZHARDT?

EVERYONE'S HUNKY-DORY.

NO OFFENSE, LIEUTENANT...

HAVE YOU GOT THE WEIGHT TO MAKE A DEAL?

I HAVE FULL AUTHORIZATION TO HEAR YOUR REQUEST.

THAT'S REAL CLEVER HOW YOU PUT THAT, LIEUTENANT,

SO IN CASE YOU THINK WE'RE GONNA BE DANCING AROUND

WITH WORD GAMES LIKE THAT,

I WANT YOU TO LISTEN TO SOMEBODY.

LOOK, HE'S NOT KIDDING.

HE'S GONNA GIVE YOU A REAL LIST,

AND HE WANTS ANSWERS RIGHT AWAY.

HE'S NOT KIDDING.

OKAY, LIEUTENANT?

SO, LET'S NOT DISH OUT THE CRAPOLA WITH,

YOU'RE ALLOWED TO HEAR WHAT I WANT.

I'M GONNA THROW OUT THIS LIST.

IF YOU CAN'T GIVE ME ANSWERS,

YOU READ IT TO WHOEVER CAN.

THEN I WANT TO HEAR IT FROM YOU.

OKAY, HERE COMES THE LIST.

A LITTLE SLOWER, HOWARD, PLEASE.

A TWIN-ENGINE SEAPLANE.

RAYMUNDO, THERE IS NO WAY IN GOD'S GREEN EARTH

THAT WE ARE GOING TO ACCEDE TO THOSE DEMANDS.

JUDAS PRIEST, WHY ARE YOU WRITING THEM DOWN?

YOU HAVE IT ON RECORD.

WE HAVE WARRANTS FROM SEVEN DIFFERENT STATES.

WE'VE ALSO HEARD FROM MASSACHUSETTS,

AND HIS EX-WIFE IS FLYING HERE,

SO I DON'T THINK WE WANT HIM TO KNOW THAT.

ARE YOU SURE, RAY?

I MEAN, THE ONLY DENTS WE SEEM TO MAKE ON HIM

ARE ON THE SUBJECT OF HIS BOY'S WELFARE.

USE YOUR JUDGMENT, BUT REMEMBER,

THIS MAN KIDNAPPED HIS SON.

HE MAY NOT THINK KINDLY OF THE MOTHER.

HOW IS BUZHARDT?

WELL, SHE'S A LITTLE FRAYED AT THE EDGES.

CALLETANO, I DIDN'T MEAN TO SNAP AT YOU BEFORE, OLD SPORT.

IT'S ALL RIGHT, HOWARD. KEEP IN CONTACT.

WHAT DO YOU CALL IT, THEN?

I CALL IT PEOPLE BEING ADULT

AND GOING OUT WITH WHO THEY WANT TO GO OUT WITH.

YEAH? WELL, I CALL IT STEALING.

PLUS, HE COMES IN THIS MORNING.

IS HE MAN ENOUGH TO TELL ME? NO.

HE TELLS CALLETANO.

- YOU'RE A CHILD. - WHO, I'M A CHILD?

YES.

GEE, YOU'RE RIGHT, I'M ACTING LIKE A JERK.

IF A WOMAN DOESN'T WANT ME, IT'S NOT GOLDBLUME'S FAULT.

HARRY, THERE'S LOTS OF WOMEN OUT THERE

WHO'D LIKE TO DATE YOU.

UH, YOU, UH, ARE YOU ONE OF 'EM?

NICE.

SOMEONE ELSE LOADS YOUR GUN,

AND YOU WANT ME TO PULL THE TRIGGER.

WHO IS IT?

IT'S THE POLICE, MA'AM. OPEN UP.

IS ANYBODY ELSE OUT THERE?

NO, MA'AM, JUST ME.

HI, HENRY.

HOLY MOLY.

LIKE IT?

LIKE DOESN'T BEGIN TO DESCRIBE IT.

UH...

MAYBE YOU'D BETTER COME INSIDE.

EVER SINCE YOU LEFT THIS MORNING,

I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE BUT YOU.

ME EITHER.

I CAN'T KEEP MY HANDS OFF OF YOU.

I ADMIRE THAT IN A WOMAN.

AND IT'S NOT JUST SEX EITHER.

NOT THAT THE SEX ISN'T INCREDIBLE,

BECAUSE IT IS WITH YOU,

BUT IT'S DEEPER THAN SEX.

IT'S LIKE WE'RE FUSED.

I KNOW.

HENRY.

WHAT?

I WANT YOU,

TODAY,

TOMORROW,

FOREVER.

I WANT TO MAKE YOU HAPPY IN EVERY CONCEIVABLE WAY.

I TOTALLY, TOTALLY LOVE YOU.

SO, THERE I WAS, THINKING I'D GET A BEATING.

WELL, I HAD A BLACK EYE.

MAYBE I WAS MORE SCARED SHE'D START THRASHING ME TOO

FOR GOING TO THAT PLAYGROUND.

BUT THE THING MOM TOLD ME THAT DAY

HAS STAYED WITH ME ALL MY LIFE.

FLETCHER, IT'S NOT THE SIZE OF THE DOG IN THE FIGHT,

IT'S THE SIZE OF THE FIGHT IN THE DOG.

OH, PLEASE.

THE MEN KNOW THAT, THAT I'M A BATTLER

IN MY STRUGGLES FOR THEIR WELFARE.

I MAY RUFFLE A FEW FEATHERS ALONG THE WAY.

I'M NOT ALWAYS THE PERFECT GENTLEMAN.

BUT DAMN IT, WHEN YOU'VE GOT DANIELS IN YOUR CORNER,

YOU'VE GOT HIM FOR ALL 15 ROUNDS.

EXCUSE ME.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

IT'S KILLING ME. I CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE.

YOU GOT SOMETHING YOU WANT TO TELL ME, JOE DALEY?

YEAH, YOU'RE HERE,

TALKING ALL THE TIME HOW THE MEN RESPECT YOU,

THEY KNOW YOU'RE ON THEIR SIDE.

YOU HAVEN'T THE FAINTEST IDEA WHAT THESE COPS THINK.

SUPPOSE YOU TELL ME.

THEY THINK ALL YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT IS YOUR IMAGE.

YOU COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT THEM.

THAT'S NOT FAIR.

AND YOU WERE GONNA CLEAN THINGS UP,

AND THE DEPARTMENT STILL HAS MORE RAT HOLES

THAN THE NORTH STREET BRIDGE.

I'VE DONE EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO ERADICATE CORRUPTION.

NO, YOU HAVEN'T, CHIEF.

WHEN PUSH CAME TO SHOVE, IT WAS WHAT JOE SAID.

YOU WERE MORE CONCERNED WITH THE DEPARTMENT'S IMAGE

THAN WITH ITS HONESTY.

ET TU, FRANK.

STAN MISELLE, TONY MARINO, JERRY FUCHS,

JOE KEENAN'S STILL GETTING A PAYCHECK.

WHO ELSE? HUH? WHO ELSE HATES MY GUTS?

I CAN'T EAT THIS.

WHERE'S THE MILK I ASKED FOR?

ULCER, JOE?

YOU KNOW WHEN I GOT IT?

WHEN HE TOOK OVER THE DEPARTMENT.

FLETCHER, HOW DO YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW?

OH, IN A DAY OF RANCID STUPIDITY,

THAT QUESTION TAKES THE CAKE.

HOW DO YOU FEEL?

LIKE I'M BEING SAVAGED BY A PACK OF DOGS.

THERE YOU GO.

THAT'S WHAT HE THINKS OF US.

WHY DON'T YOU CHECK YOUR WATCH, JOE?

NOT EVERY MAN HAS THE PRIVILEGE TO KNOW

TO THE EXACT SECOND WHEN HIS CAREER ENDED.

YOU'RE OUT OF LINE, FLETCHER.

HEY, MY CAREER ENDED THE DAY HE TOOK OVER THE DEPARTMENT.

FAIR ENOUGH. NO, THAT'S FAIR.

'CAUSE YOU KNOW WHY, MIKE?

I GOT A SNOOP DETECTOR FOR MEDIOCRITY.

HE WAS FINISHED WHEN I CAME IN.

AND DON'T THINK I DIDN'T KNOW IT.

AND DON'T THINK IT DIDN'T HURT THAT I WORK THAT WAY.

SO, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO NOW, FLETCH?

YOU GONNA BURY ME IN A DESK SOMEWHERE? SO WHAT?

I'VE GOT 18 YEARS IN.

TWO MORE YEARS, AND I'M OUT FROM UNDER.

HOW IS COOPING IN A DESK GONNA BE ANY DIFFERENT

FROM HOW YOU'VE RUN THE FERRY, HUH, JOE?

THE GUY'S GOT MORE DEAD WOOD IN HIS SQUAD ROOM

THAN ANY OTHER THREE CAPTAINS.

JOE'S IDEA OF A PERSONNEL DECISION

IS HOPING THE MAN GETS A BACK PROBLEM.

FLETCHER, IF YOU COULD LET GO OF YOUR ANGER

FOR JUST A MINUTE,

I THINK YOU'D HEAR JOE

TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT.

HE'S TELLING YOU THAT HE'S A NON-FUNCTIONING COP.

HE'S MARKING HIS TIME

WITH NO COMMITMENT TO THE FUTURE, NO HOPE.

OH, YOU'RE BREAKING MY HEART.

LISTEN TO WHAT'S BEING SAID.

NOW, I CAN JUDGE THE VALIDITY OF HIS ALLEGATIONS,

BUT I CAN VALIDATE THAT MAN'S PAIN

AND THE WAY HE'S SHUT HIMSELF DOWN, JUST TO SURVIVE,

AND THAT HURTS EVERYBODY.

THAT HURTS YOU, THAT HURTS JOE,

BUT MOST OF ALL, IT HURTS THE DEPARTMENT,

BECAUSE JOE'S FRUSTRATIONS JUST CAN'T BE HIS.

THEY'RE SYMPTOMATIC OF SOMETHING LARGER,

AND IT OUGHT TO BE LOOKED AT...

WITH SOME CARE...

BY EVERY ONE OF YOU HERE.

I WISH I COULD GIVE YOU SOMETHING MORE DEFINITIVE,

MR. STONE, BUT WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN A "NO."

WHAT WE HAVE ARE A BUNCH OF MAYBES.

WE AIN'T GONNA GET SQUAT, MR. CHRISTOPHER.

WELL, HOW DO YOU KNOW?

I MEAN, MAYBE HE REALLY HASN'T GOTTEN ANY ANSWERS YET.

MR. STONE, IF WE COULD JUST BE PATIENT,

UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES...

THEY'RE GONNA TRY TO WEAR FATHER DOWN.

THEY'RE GONNA KEEP TALKING TO FATHER,

GIVING HIM THE HIP, TAKING IT AWAY.

IT'S GONNA BE A LOT LIKE LIFE.

MR. STONE...

MR. STONE.

SORRY, JANE.

MR. STONE?

YEAH, THANKS FOR THE INSULT

TO MY INTELLIGENCE, LIEUTENANT.

I FIGURE THIS IS PROBABLY A LOW PRIORITY ITEM.

WHAT WITH A COP AND KID BEING HOSTAGE,

YOU PROBABLY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET THROUGH TO ANYONE.

I'M NOT THROUGH, MR. STONE.

I JUST DON'T HAVE ANY DEFINITIVE ANSWERS.

WE'RE GONNA DO THIS FRONT TO BACK, HUH, LIEUTENANT?

WE STARTED LYING TO EACH OTHER ABOUT THIS MOTOR HOME.

WE'RE GONNA KEEP IT UP UNTIL YOU BLOW ME AWAY.

THAT DOESN'T HAVE TO HAPPEN, MR. STONE.

WHY DON'T YOU SEND YOUR SON OUT, SIR?

OKAY.

I KEPT IT UP AS LONG AS I COULD, SON.

I CAN'T SEE ANY WAY NOW.

BUT I DON'T WANT TO GO.

YOU'VE GOT TO, CHRISTOPHER.

NOW YOU'VE GOT TO GO IT ALONE.

YOU JUST REMEMBER ALL OF IT, ALL RIGHT?

WHEN THEY TELL YOU WHAT IT WAS

AND WHAT IT WASN'T,

YOU REMEMBER ALL OF IT.

COME HERE.

SOMEONE COMING!

SO LONG.

SO LONG, DAD.

I LOVE YOU.

WE HAVE A DOOR OPEN.

ALL RIGHT, IT'S THE KID, IT'S THE KID.

MR. STONE, AN OFFICER IS GONNA PULL UP

WITH YOUR CAR NOW.

I GOTTA SEE HIM. MAY I? LET'S GO.

IT'S COMING.

THE CAR WILL BE IN YOUR POSSESSION SHORTLY.

LISTEN, WE CAN BOTH GET OUT.

WE CAN STILL BOTH GET OUT.

WE ARE BOTH GETTING OUT.

CANADA.

CRISP DAYS, VERY CRISP NIGHTS.

LISTEN, THEY'RE NOT GONNA LET YOU OUT OF HERE.

YOU'RE A SMART GUY.

YOU GOTTA KNOW, THEY'RE NOT GONNA LET YOU LEAVE.

OFFICER BUZHARDT? OFFICER BUZHARDT?

HERE'S WHAT I HOPE.

MR. STONE, DO YOU HEAR ME?

I'M GOING TO THE DOCTOR.

HERE COMES THE DOCTOR. CLOSE YOUR EYES.

YOU MAKE A LOUD NOISE IN YOUR HEAD,

AND YOU THINK OF SOMETHING TILL IT'S OVER.

THEN IT'S OVER.

YOU GOT YOUR WAY.

YOU FAKED YOUR WAY THROUGH.

I NEED TO HEAR

OFFICER BUZHARDT'S VOICE, MR. STONE.

THAT LITTLE BOY LOVES YOU.

YOU'VE GOT LOVE IN YOUR LIFE.

DON'T DIE.

I'M NOT GONNA SCREW AROUND.

ON POSITION. PREPARE TO ASSAULT.

HOLD IT!

HOLD IT, NOBODY FIRE!

- WE'RE COMING OUT! - HOLD IT, HOLD IT!

HOLD, IT'S A NO-GO.

STANDING BY.

COME ON OUT, MR. STONE.

OKAY, DOWN, DOWN! SPREAD EAGLE!

ALL RIGHT, DRESS HIM DOWN.

WHERE'S MY SON? WHERE'S MY SON?

WHERE'S... WHERE...

NATALIE, YOU GOT A LITTLE AGUA

FOR THESE HOUNDS HERE?

YEAH, SURE, THERE'S A BOWL AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE.

OOH, NICE DOGGY.

OKAY, HE LIKES YOU TO RUB BEHIND HIS EARS.

DO YOU HAVE A CAT IN THIS PLACE?

NO.

HEY! HEY, EASY!

EASY, EASY, EASY!

HERE, EASY, EASY, EASY!

WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON WITH THEM MUTTS?

EASY, EASY, BARON.

WHAT KIND OF GOOD WE GOT HERE, HUH, BARON?

I DON'T KNOW WHO THE PRANKSTER IS

OR WHAT'S GOING ON HERE, BUT, UH,

YOU GUYS KEEP THIS STUFF UP HERE REGULAR OR WHAT?

WHAT, THAT TEA?

IT'S MARIJUANA.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, MARIJUANA?

THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE TAUGHT TO SNIFF OUT, SARGE.

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM HERE?

DOG SAYS YOUR TEA IS MARIJUANA.

VERY HIGH QUALITY STUFF BY THE SOUNDS OF THEM.

I WAS LED TO BELIEVE IT WAS ORDINARY ORANGE PEKOE.

NO, HE DON'T BARK AT PEKOE.

I'M NOT A DOG,

BUT TO ME, THIS SMELLS LIKE ORDINARY TEA...

MAYBE WITH SOMETHING MIXED IN.

DOES ANYBODY HERE HAVE AN APPLE OR AN APP...

HEY, SARGE, UM, I KNOW THIS IS GONNA SOUND FUNNY,

BUT ANYBODY COMPLAIN ABOUT BEING LIGHTHEADED?

I MEAN, I KNOW WHEN THE WEATHER IS WARM AND EVERYTHING,

IT MAKES YOU FEEL KIND OF LIGHTHEADED BUT...

DID EITHER OF YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE

ANY OF LIEUTENANT CALLETANO'S TEA?

YEAH, BOTH OF US.

IT WAS LOADED WITH MARIJUANA.

YOU AND ANDY ARE STONED.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

FIND OUT WHO ELSE IS STONED

AND MAKE SURE THEY STAY OFF THE STREET.

RIGHT. COME ON, LET'S CLEAR OUT.

NATALIE, CAN WE DO THIS? LONNIE STONE.

AKA, LAWRENCE MCKEEVER.

ROBBERY, ATTEMPTED MURDER,

RECKLESS ENDANGERMENT OF...

HANG ON, HANG ON, GUYS. LET ME CATCH UP.

LIEUTENANT, MR. STIGLITZ, LINE FOUR.

NORTHWEST FIREMAN'S INSURANCE.

UH-HUH!

POSSESSION OF WEAPON, RESISTING...

NICE WORK, JANE.

A PACKAGE FOR YOU, LIEUTENANT.

KIDNAPPING, GRAND THEFT AUTO.

LEO, GOT A SCISSORS?

PLUS, OUT OF STATE...

THANKS.

BAIL JUMPING.

JUST IN TIME TO WATCH ME GO DOWN.

YOU COMING UP FOR THE EXECUTION?

YOU SICK BASTARD!

JUST DON'T SCREW UP THE KID, HUH?

JUST DON'T SCREW HIM UP

LIKE YOU SCREWED UP EVERYTHING ELSE!

LIEUTENANT, THIS IS THE BOY'S MOTHER.

I KNOW HOW DIFFICULT THIS IS,

BUT YOU MUST BE PREPARED.

I KNOW. I'VE BEEN WARNED.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

I THINK SO.

THIS WAY.

YOSEMITE, WHERE THE BEARS LIVE.

THEN WE WENT SOMEPLACE ELSE AND STAYED.

CALIFORNIA?

CHRIS, SOMEONE TO SEE YOU.

HI, CHRISSY.

HENRY, YOU HOUND.

YOU TOTAL SCHNAUZER.

- LET ME SEE IT. - YEAH.

OH, MAN.

WE'RE TALKING 2-4K HERE.

WE'RE TALKING. UH-HUH.

"MY LIFE IS YOURS... GINA."

OH.

DO YOU BELIEVE THAT? BROTHER.

YEAH, MR. STUD SERVICE.

GOT WHAT YOU WANTED THE ONE TIME YOU EVER GOT IT.

YOU GOT A PROBLEM, HARRY?

NAH, NO PROBLEM.

HEY, GUYS, DID HENRY TELL YOU ABOUT THE TIME

I TOOK HIM TO THE DATING SERVICE?

THEY SENT HIM AN S&M QUEEN.

- HEY, GARIBALDI. - LIGHTEN UP, HARRY.

YOU KNOW, LIEUTENANT,

THAT GIRL HAS BEEN THROUGH A LOT.

WHAT SHE NEEDS IS SOMEBODY TO TAKE CARE OF HER,

NOT MESS WITH HER HEAD.

"MESS WITH HER HEAD"?

THAT'S RIGHT, MESS WITH HER HEAD,

WHICH IS WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

HEY, COME ON NOW!

CUT IT OUT, MAN, CUT IT OUT!

COME ON!

LOOK, I'LL TELL HER YOU SAID HELLO.

COME ON, MAN.

- THAT WAS DUMB. - THAT WAS DUMB.

YOU KNOW WHAT GETS ME?

THE GUY IS TWICE HER AGE.

HE'S BEEN MARRIED, HE'S GOT KIDS.

YOU KNOW, I BET HIS IDEA OF A GREAT NIGHT

IS THREE HOURS OF WATCHING PUBLIC TELEVISION.

24-KARAT GOLD, BABE.

I'D SAY THE LADY'S MADE HER OWN CHOICE.

OKAY, UP TO NOW, I'VE STAYED OUT OF THINGS PRETTY MUCH.

UH, THAT'S OKAY.

THAT MEANS WE'RE HAVING A SUCCESSFUL DAY SO FAR.

I THINK YOU GUYS ARE DOING TERRIFIC.

I FEEL LIKE HELL.

THAT'S AS EXPECTED.

NOW, AS FAR AS I KNOW,

NO ONE'S COME UP WITH A MAGICAL DRUG

FOR EMOTIONAL HURT, BUT I DO KNOW THIS...

THAT OLD CLICHE, NO GAIN WITHOUT PAIN,

HAS A LOT OF BEARING.

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, I DON'T CARE

IF I EVER SEE ANY OF THESE GUYS AGAIN

AS LONG AS I LIVE.

WELL, YOU JUST CAN'T EXPECT TO SHAKE HANDS

AND FORGET ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED.

AND WHEN YOU PUT YOUR GUNS ON TODAY

AND WALK OUT OF HERE,

I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE HEALED,

BUT WE'RE BRINGING A LOT OF POISON TO THE SURFACE.

NOW, MAYBE IN THE DAYS TO COME,

YOU'LL LEARN SOMETHING ABOUT FORGIVENESS.

THREE DAYS FROM NOW,

MAYBE YOU'LL CALL ONE OF THESE GUYS UP

AND SAY, "HEY, I'M SORRY,"

OR, "I DIDN'T KNOW,"

OR EVEN, "LET'S GET TOGETHER."

NOW, IN THAT SPIRIT,

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING THEY WANT TO SAY?

YEAH, I'D LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING TO JOE DALEY.

GET A JOB.

HEY, THAT'S A JERK CRACK.

IT'S A JOKE.

I'M TRYING TO INTRODUCE SOME LEVITY.

YOU GUYS ALL TAKE YOURSELVES SO SERIOUSLY.

KNOW WHAT?

I GOT SOMETHING I WANT TO SAY.

I QUIT.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

FLETCHER, SAY SOMETHING TO THE MAN, WILL YOU?

JOE, JOE... COME ON, JOE.

HONEST TO GOD, I THINK I MEAN IT.

COME ON, FLETCHER, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.

TELL HIM HIS JOB'S OKAY.

NOT JUST 'CAUSE OF WHAT FLETCH SAID.

I DON'T NEED IT.

I GOT A BROTHER WHO DIED OF A HEART ATTACK LAST YEAR,

TWO YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME.

I WANT TO LEAD A LIFE. I'M GOING HOME.

JOE, COME ON.

WE'LL HAVE LUNCH ONE DAY THIS WEEK.

WE'LL IRON IT ALL OUT.

WELL, HE'LL... HE'LL BE BACK TOMORROW.

HE'LL, UH... HE'LL CHANGE HIS MIND.

HE'LL BE BACK.

MAYBE NOT.

HE'S A MAN WHO'S BEEN VERY UNHAPPY

WITH WHAT HE'S DOING FOR A LONG TIME.

I DON'T BELIEVE THIS.

THIS IS WHAT'S WRONG.

THIS IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS WHOLE DEPARTMENT HERE.

YOU ALL SIT AROUND HERE AND YOU LET A GUY

SCREW UP HIS ENTIRE CAREER LIKE THAT?

HE'S GOT... HE'S GOT TWO YEARS TO GO.

TWO YEARS, FELLAS,

AND YOU LET HIM WALK OUT OF HERE LIKE THAT

AND NOBODY DOES ANYTHING?

WARREN.

WE JUST WATCHED A MAN

COMMIT PROFESSIONAL SUICIDE IN THIS ROOM!

NOW, WHO SAYS CHANGE HAS TO BE A BAD THING?

I'M SO SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR PSYCHOBABBLE BALONEY.

THE NEXT THING, YOU'RE GONNA BE SAYING

THAT THE REASON I'M UPSET IS BECAUSE

I WISH I WAS DOING WHAT JOE JUST DID.

NOBODY'S SAYING THAT.

OH, I'M SICK OF ALL OF YOU.

I'M SICK OF THE WHOLE BUNCH OF YOU.

I'M SICK OF ALL OF YOU... THE WHOLE BUNCH OF YOU.

WHEW.

HEY, SARGE.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

WEEKEND SHIFT.

I WORKED THE LAST TWO WEEKENDS.

YOU GIVE IT TO SOMEBODY ELSE.

IF YOU CAN WORK OUT A TRADE ON YOUR OWN,

BE MY GUEST.

I'VE HAD A BELLYFUL OF THIS.

WHAT'S THAT, DETECTIVE?

OF YOU GIVING ME AND ROBIN THE COLD SHOULDER.

OF YOU GIVING ME THIS KIND OF CRAP.

YOU'VE GOT NO REASON TO TREAT ME LIKE THIS.

TO WHAT ARE YOU REFERENCING, DETECTIVE?

DON'T GIVE ME THAT "DETECTIVE" CRAP.

I'M REFERENCING ME AND ROBIN.

WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO FOR YOU AND ME TO BE FRIENDS AGAIN?

BREAK UP WITH HER?

OF COURSE NOT.

A YOUNG MAN LIKE YOURSELF, YOU SHOULD HAVE A GIRL.

THEN WHY ARE YOU MAKING IT

LIKE I GOTTA CHOOSE BETWEEN YOU?

LOOK, I DON'T WANT TO BE SOME OLD GUY,

HANGING AROUND BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU,

YOU NOT KNOWING HOW TO TELL ME TO GO HOME

WITHOUT HURTING MY FEELINGS.

I GOT MY PRIDE.

OH, HEARING THIS MAKES ME ANGRY.

BALONEY. AH, BALONEY!

YOU PICKED ME UP WHEN I WAS DOWN.

YOU TREATED ME SPECIAL.

I NEVER HAD A FRIEND LIKE THAT BEFORE.

I COULD TALK TO YOU LIKE I USED TO TALK TO MY FATHER.

I'M NOT YOUR FATHER, AND I DON'T WANT TO BE.

AND I DON'T WANT ONE!

I NEEDED A FRIEND.

I THOUGHT I HAD ONE. MAYBE I WAS WRONG.

MRS. FURILLO!

I BEG YOUR PARDON.

THIS IS THE LADIES ROOM.

I BEG YOUR PARDON, MA'AM.

THIS IS THE MEN'S ROOM.

OH.

WELL, I CERTAINLY HOPE SO, FOR YOUR SAKE.

EXCUSE ME.

HERE, GIVE ME THAT.

LOOK, MICK, I, UH... I WAS HURT.

I, UH... I DON'T KNOW.

I FELT LEFT OUT IN THE COLD.

I TOOK IT OUT ON YOU.

I'M SORRY.

OKAY?

PFFT.

I'M SORRY I SAID ANYTHING ABOUT MY DAUGHTER.

HER PROBLEMS ARE NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS.

HEY, A LOT OF GUYS' DAUGHTERS HAVE DRUG PROBLEMS.

LOOK, I'M JUST SAYING,

I DO NOT WANT ANY OF THIS COMING BACK TO ME

FROM ANYBODY HERE, ALL RIGHT?

IT WON'T BE. WE'VE ALL AGREED TO THAT.

OKAY, HOME STRETCH, GUYS.

I'M GONNA PUT YOU ON THE SPOT ONE LAST TIME.

I THINK WE CAN AGREE AT THIS POINT

THAT NO ONE HERE IS PERFECT.

FRANK'S PERFECT, OR THINKS HE IS.

ASSUMING THAT, I WANT TO ASK EACH OF YOU IN TURN...

IF THERE WAS ONE THING

THAT YOU COULD CHANGE ABOUT YOURSELF,

WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE?

LIKE WHAT?

I WISH I WASN'T GOING BALD.

YOU MEAN, LIKE THAT?

I'M ASKING, IF YOU COULD REACH DOWN INTO YOUR GUTS

AND CHANGE SOMETHING FUNDAMENTAL ABOUT YOURSELF,

ABOUT THE WAY YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE,

WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE?

IF I WAS GENE SCAPIZZI,

I'D CHANGE MY UNDERWEAR ONCE IN A WHILE.

HEY, WISEGUY,

ONCE IS A LITTLE FUNNY, TWO IS A LITTLE FUNNY.

YOU'VE BEEN SITTING OVER THERE ALL DAY.

YOU DO IT ONE MORE TIME, I'M GONNA COME OVER,

AND I'M GONNA PUT MY FIST DOWN YOUR THROAT,

YOU UNDERSTAND, HUH?

BIG MAN, HUH?

IF I COULD CHANGE ANYTHING,

I'D CHANGE THAT I GET SO SCARED.

WHAT SCARES YOU, GENE?

SOMETIMES, EVERYTHING.

WHAT SCARES YOU THE MOST?

WHAT SCARES ME THE MOST?

WHAT SCARES ME THE MOST

IS THAT MAYBE MY WIFE IS HAVING AN AFFAIR.

YOU'RE NOT SCARED, MAYBE.

YOU KNOW SHE'S HAVING AN AFFAIR.

I PUT IN MY HOURS, I GO OUT FOR SOME DRINKS

WITH SOME OF THE GUYS AFTER WORK,

AND I GET HOME, FEELING DEAD INSIDE.

SOMETIMES SHE'S NOT EVEN THERE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TELL HER

I LOVE HER.

I DON'T WANT TO ASK HER ANY QUESTIONS,

BECAUSE I'M AFRAID OF THE ANSWERS.

MY GOD, THE WOMAN IS SO BEAUTIFUL.

SHE MUST HAVE LOST 20 POUNDS IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS.

SHE'S GOT TO BE DOING IT FOR SOMEBODY.

WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE?

I JUST WOULDN'T WANT IT TO BE LIKE THAT.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO MAKE IT NOT LIKE THAT?

PUT MY ARMS AROUND HER...

TELL HER HOW BEAUTIFUL SHE IS,

AND I DON'T CARE WHO SHE'S GETTING HERSELF BEAUTIFUL FOR.

BY GOD, I'D TELL HER I LOVE HER.

I'D TELL HER I DON'T WANT TO FEEL DEAD INSIDE ANYMORE.

I HOPE YOU DO THAT, GENE.

HOW ABOUT YOU, PETE?

CHANGE MY COLOR.

YEAH, GOD HELP ME, THAT'S WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO.

I WOULD LIKE TO JUST CHANGE MY COLOR.

WHY?

BECAUSE, UM, I'M NOT AS BRAVE AS I'M SUPPOSED TO BE,

BECAUSE I'D LIKE THINGS TO BE

JUST A LITTLE BIT EASIER.

WHAT'S YOUR SECOND CHOICE?

OKAY.

OKAY, UM...

UM, I GUESS I WOULD LIKE...

FOR MY FRUSTRATIONS NOT TO GET TO ME ALL THE TIME.

IT SEEMS LIKE, UM,

SOMETIMES I JUST DEFEAT MYSELF.

HOW ABOUT YOU, FRANK?

I DON'T THINK I CAN ANSWER.

TOLD YOU.

THE GUY THINKS HE'S PERFECT.

NO. I REJECT THE PREMISE.

I HAVE TO LIVE WITH WHO I AM,

NOT WHO I'D WANT TO BE.

YOU CAN'T SIT HERE AND SPECULATE ABOUT YOURSELF

AS IF YOU COULD REACH DOWN INSIDE

AND... AND AMPUTATE WHAT YOU DON'T LIKE.

BUT IF YOU COULD, UH, HUMOR ME.

I HAVE TO KEEP MYSELF REINED IN SO TIGHT.

WHAT IF YOU LET GO?

I CAN'T TRUST MYSELF.

I'M NOT LIKE OTHER PEOPLE.

I'M AN ALCOHOLIC.

I'M CAPABLE OF THINGS THAT ARE MONSTROUS.

SO, I HAVE TO TAKE LIFE AS IT COMES,

A DAY AT A TIME.

AA CRAP. I KNEW THAT'S WHAT THIS WAS.

THAT CRAP SAVED MY LIFE.

GETTING HOOKED ON MEETINGS INSTEAD OF BOTTLES, HUH?

TRADING IN YOUR COCKTAILS FOR A COUPLE OF CATCHPHRASES

AND PENNY ANTE PSYCHOLOGY.

WHAT DO YOU NEED, WARREN?

YOU'RE NO BETTER THAN THE REST OF US, FURILLO.

I NEVER SAID I WAS.

YES, YOU DO. YOU SAY IT EVERY DAY.

ST. FRANCIS FURILLO, WITH HIS ALTAR BOY MANNERS

AND HIS BARBIE DOLL WIFE WITH...

LEAVE HER OUT OF IT.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. HEY, HEY, HEY.

FRANK, WARREN... WARREN DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING.

COME ON.

I'M SORRY.

DISOWN THE BEHAVIOR, FRANK.

DON'T DISOWN THE FEELINGS.

YOU'RE... YOU'RE AS MISERABLE AS THE REST OF US, FURILLO.

YOU'RE... YOU'RE AS MISERABLE AS I AM.

AS I AM.

LIEUTENANT.

OH, RAY, YOU WANT TO CATCH ME UP?

FRANK, THERE'S SOMETHING I MUST EXPLAIN TO YOU.

I BROUGHT IN SOME TEA THAT HAD MARIJUANA IN IT.

AT LEAST SIX PEOPLE DRANK IT.

MARIJUANA?

IF THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION,

IT WILL OPEN HOUSE AND HEARTH.

I AM INNOCENT.

I SPOKE WITH ROSA.

IT WAS THE TEA OF HER COUSIN ELVIRA FROM ECUADOR,

WHO STAYED WITH US LAST YEAR... I SWEAR IT.

I BELIEVE YOU.

BUT WILL INTERNAL AFFAIRS?

WELL, HAVE THERE BEEN ANY CITIZEN COMPLAINTS?

NO.

THEN IT'LL NEVER GET TO INTERNAL AFFAIRS.

LISTEN, I... I HEARD A COP WAS TAKEN HOSTAGE TODAY.

YES, THE RELEASE OF OFFICER BUZHARDT

WAS ACHIEVED WITHOUT ANY LOSS OF LIFE OR INJURY.

I TALKED TO HOWARD ON THE CAR PHONE.

HE SAYS THAT YOU HELD A STEADY HAND

AND MADE SOME SOUND JUDGMENTS

THAT HELPED THE RESOLUTION.

I HOPE SO. YES, YES, I BELIEVE SO.

SO, WE HAVE ONE MEANINGFUL VICTORY

AND ONE DEFEAT THAT WE'LL LAUGH OFF TOMORROW.

I MEAN, I CALL THAT AN ABOVE-AVERAGE DAY.

- THANK YOU. - THANK YOU.

IN MY SEVEN YEARS AS LIEUTENANT,

THIS WAS ONLY MY SECOND DAY OF A STATION COMMAND.

I LIKED IT.

I KNOW.

MMM!

YOU'VE GOT THE MUNCHIES?

MM-HMM.

I'M STILL FEELING THE AFTER-EFFECTS

OF ROSA CALLETANO'S TEA.

I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT I USED TO LIKE

ABOUT THE SENSATION.

MAYBE IT'S AGE OR WISDOM,

BUT I DON'T LIKE FEELING SO OUT OF CONTROL.

NEITHER DO I, AFTER TODAY.

OH, WELL, GIVE ME THE DIRT.

DID FLETCHER GET HIS COMEUPPANCE?

OH, AMONG OTHERS.

DO I GATHER OUR MAN FURILLO

WAS THE TARGET OF SOME VERBAL BLOWS?

WELL, WARREN BRISCOE GOT IN A FEW SHOTS.

REALLY?

NOTHING OUR MAN DIDN'T ALREADY KNOW.

HMM?

THAT HE WAS PUT TOGETHER WITH SPIT AND BALING WIRE

AND THAT THE MODEL STILL NEEDED SOME WORK

AFTER IT LEFT THE PLANT.

WELL, IT SOUNDS LIKE HE BARELY LAID A GLOVE ON YOU.

IT FELT AS LIKE HE WAS LANDING HAYMAKERS.

MMM! MMM!

OOH, WHAT'S GOING ON?

I'M CHECKING FOR BRUISES.

WAIT A MINUTE, WAIT A MINUTE.

A LITTLE TO THE LEFT.

UH-HUH.

BINGO.
