Additional holiday assignments.

Fort Patrol accompanying the Salvation

add, courageous annual serenade of the

Center Street Project.

Officers Meyer, Grimley, and Schwartz.

Overseeing this afternoon's gift
giveaway at the hurdle use facility,

and Richmond.

Item eight concerns the visit of... Now,
these are representatives of the

Journalist Union for Publications of
Manufacturing and Farm Collectives of

Soviet Republic of Georgia.

Now, these scribes have asked during
their stay in our fair city to see the

situation of the proletariat class in a
true American ghetto.

We qualify.

Lieutenant Hunter will supervise their
tour.

Commence to get 800 hours.

Officers Hill and Rank go to serve as
escorts.

Questions I like to ask them creeps.
There'll be no editorializing, Andy. The

podium notes with envy your itinerary
stop at Maynard's Country Kitchen.

Item 9.

The predictable rise in robberies of
pharmacies, ambulances, medical and

veterinary offices has ensued following
our recent narcotics operation.

In Little Ecuador, the panic is on
people.

Detective Belker begins an undercover
today with the Fairview Ambulance

Be alert for backup.

Tough choice, mouth -to -mouth from
Belker or death.

Item 10 is a welcome return to alumni
Marty Nichols and Al Bolino.

along with six of their fellow officers
from South Ferry, will be fleshing out,

as it were, our ongoing prostitution
undercover on East Utica.

I'm afraid to ask Al what he's going to
be doing.

Item 11, what I hope is a very temporary
situation, and you're advised of a

temporary freeze on all promotions as
regards the force.

It's not the view that we encourage,
Lucy.

Item last.

A Christmas reminder from our confreres
in the judicial arm. Share our own deep

desire to honor holiday shopping and
party commitments.

Our adversaries in the streets sometimes
have families and loved ones as well.

In the seven days left until Christmas,
let us not therefore be averse to

tipping the scales on the close ones.

Huh?

Away from the bust.

Away from the paperwork.

Away from the testimony. Away from the
lonely Christmas incarceration.

All right, that's it. Let's roll.

And hey, hey, let's be careful out
there.

So you agree with him?

Oh, I agree with what he said. That
makes sense. That's probably why he's

it.

You know, you don't seem too broken up
about this, Joe.

Hey, I feel bad, okay, Luce?

But if you ask me if I'm sorry that it's
going to be you rather than some beer

-bellied grunt sitting next to me in the
unit, the answer's no.

You're honest.

Say, you'll be wearing stripes within a
year.

A year?

Eighteen months, ma 'am.

Hey, hey!

Hey, Joe, how are you? I'm great.

Whoa!

Bobby, hi.

Hi, Marty.

You look great.

Thanks. You, too. A lot better than the
rovers.

Winning that lottery put me through a
lot of changes. That's behind me now.

Along with the money?

No, I still have a few crumbs left.

How about if I scrape together a few and
take you out to dinner tonight?

Yeah, I like that.

You give me some little eager thoughts.

And for sale, you ain't running sugar.

People's Drive.

Hey, brilliant philosophical
observation, Curtis. I got to warn you,

Even if we don't get robbed, you may be
up for some pretty funky stuff today.

It's all right. I got a note from my
mother.

You guys see a lot of bullet holes, but
we get action on this gig worse than I

saw it now.

Cool the tape.

Unifor, go ahead.

We have a 63 -year -old female with
chest pain at 133rd and Decker.

Unifor responding.

100th and Decker. 100th and Decker. Hey,
hairbag, they said 133rd and Decker.

What's doing?

I'm doing.

week we got a junkie who sat on a
seltzer bottle.

It was like delivering a baby except you
could return it for deposit.

Coming up on 130th.

Five seconds off median,

14 off the record. Well, first one's
always the slowest.

How long did your heart stop for this
time, Mrs. Randolph?

How long?

Yeah.

Let's see.

Maybe about 30 minutes.

Uh -huh.

Well, it's beating nice and strong now.

But I think we'd better take you in
anyway.

Besides, I think it's time for your
clinical part.

Lewis, I was just thinking about that
last night. I noticed my pills were

getting kind of low.

So if you're going to help me up, I'll
go get my medicine. Nice and easy,

sweetheart. Nice and easy.

Oh, thank you. Thank you, Lord. You're
welcome.

She don't look too sick.

Not too bad.

She's hypertensive.

I'm sure she's not using you for a taxi.

You ever try to get a taxi up here?

Got a little something for you boys.

Curtis? Thank you.

Louis? Thank you.

Here.

Thank you.

Nice and easy.

I'm ready.

That's it.

Oh, boy.

Am I all right now? No, you're fine now.
It's not okay. There we go.

Okay, I'm ready.

What's your name?

Michael. Michael? Wait a minute.

Are you from the welfare?

No.

Well, keep it.

Okay. Watch your elbows now. Nice and
easy. Come with you.

That's a girl.

Nice.

This is good.

Great, Maynard.

This gentleman is a pillar of his
community.

He provides meals for the meeting each
Thanksgiving and Christmas.

And every year he hosts a party at Santa
Claus for the neighborhood children.

Problems of pigmentation
notwithstanding.

Excuse me. Please, what is this
appliance?

Oh, that, Mr. DiCinco.

It's your basic ghetto blaster.

You see, you put a little tape cassette
in here like this and you prop the box

up by your shoulder and sort of walk
down the street until the volume sort of

makes your nose bleed.

Tape cassette.

Impressions, Mr.

Manishvili? Oh, I am still gathering
these.

Yes, Constantine observes everything,
Lieutenant.

He misses nothing.

Hey, Bobby.

You say these folks are from Russia and
Georgia?

They eat like they're from Macon,
George.

Right to smell there, man.

How do you like it?

Oh, it is completely delicious. I hope
you will show me the ingredients.

Uh -oh, that may be a state secret.

Oh, no, we got it for you.

Lots of folks asked.

Excuse me, is it so easy for a person in
America to become successful and give

away food?

Well, I wouldn't say it's easy, mister.

Can I have some bones?

bones away. He's supposed to be getting
them bones away. But we're still using

it for the soup.

I see them bones. Give me that. The man
gave me a hard time.

I can't keep my dog tied outside all
day.

As soon as we can. I need the bones. I'm
almost lying to me.

Get that stool down right now.

We'll go. We'd like very much to see
your procedures of arrest.

We would wish to follow the entire
arrest procedure. Would this be

We have no gulags here. We do our pain
of linen in fresh air and sunlight.

Come along if you like.

Let's go. All right, if you so desire.

You have the right to remain silent.

Now,

that's my recipe. Oh. And please come
back.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Maynard, the city's visitor bureau...
make arrangements for payments?

Uh -uh.

Fuck this creep.

Charge? Soliciting. I'm just being a
degenerate.

Scott, how you doing?

J .G.? Yeah, I'm great, man. I bet...
Rob,

what's going on here? You gotta help me
out, J .B.

Officer Nichols?

You know this guy?

Oh, yeah, I do. He's a family member.
He's Mr. Sister's husband?

Well, he's sick. He needs a lot of help.

Rob, what have you done?

Okay, what's the charge?

Well, what's the name?

Come on, J .D. Come on, J .D., what?

Did he approach you?

He sure did.

Officer Nichols.

Is there any chance you might have been
mistaken? I mean, this guy is married to

my sister. I can't believe he... Okay,
maybe you misunderstood.

J .D.!

Whipped cream and hot fudge.

Jake, do you think you can... Whipped
cream and hot fudge.

Book him.

Bad news, Frank. What?

I was coming in on an earlier flight.

How much earlier? She's still coming in
on Tuesday, Jake.

Tomorrow.

One thing.

One thing.

To say I'm more than a little irritated
with Faye.

I asked her to keep Frank Jr. this
weekend. She said no?

She said she needed the space.

I'll call her.

I'm going to send a cab to the airport
for Mother Frank. She's going to stay

with us. What about her hotel?

It'll only be a few nights. She couldn't
get a reservation, okay?

Okay.

Tyrone Crane?

The analyst.

You've got a spot.

I'm not going to do this. See ya. See
ya.

Mother's staying with us for a few
nights. Oh, no problem. There's going to

plenty of room, because as soon as you
leave here, I'm going to kill myself.

All alleged perpetrators must undergo
this fingerprinting process.

Where's my dog?

Where is he? He's in the restaurant,
Tyrone. He's fine.

I've got to see him. Now, Tyrone, you
take it easy. Your foot's going to be

right. But you're going to end up
spending the Christmas season in the

you don't straighten up. Hear me?

Come on now, give me that. Take a walk
over here now.

Clear?

Just photographs, Ms. Davenport. He's
all yours.

Now, Mr. Crane and his attorney will
counsel as to his situation, which is a

portion of the process that our
Constitution says that we cannot attend.

And I thought that we would use the
interval to tour the rest of the

if that pleases you.

Sure. Oh.

Do you have family, Tyrone?

I left when my mama died.

What about brothers and sisters?

I don't know where they is.

I didn't mean to hurt nobody. I just
wanted to get him his bones.

I understand you care for your dog,
Tyrone, but it's against the law to

another person's property.

Do you understand that?

Yes.

You see a doctor?

At the clinic.

I got medication.

What kind?

To calm down.

The hurdle clinic?

What's your doctor's name?

Dr. Ramis.

How often are you supposed to see him?

Tuesdays.

Your record's pretty clean.

And the judge doesn't want to have
people spend Christmas in jail.

It's my guess.

He might put you on probation if you
make restitution to the man in the

restaurant. Yes, ma 'am. I would if I
could keep my dog.

No one else wants your dog, Tyrone.

Would you promise not to cause any more
trouble over there?

Yes, ma 'am.

There'll be an arraignment in a little
while in court.

I'll see you there.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Tyrone.

Now, this officer is in charge of our
supplementary holding facility, which we

refer to as the garden level.

You totally believe in the free
enterprise system. Anyone can become a

Oh, without question.

Why, look at Maynard, our host at that
restaurant.

Here is a man with educational and
economic cards stacked against him.

And yet he's kind, honorable,
hardworking. You see, in America, a man

a better mousetrap will ultimately
succeed.

Do you hear this, Ludmilla?

It is like my brother in Phoenix I spoke
to you of.

I do not ask if Constantine hears, since
Constantine hears everything.

Lieutenant, what will finally happen to
the criminal?

Oh, well, Mr. Crane has a right to a
trial by 12 of his peers, all of whom

vote to convict.

Yes, but we have read of your plea
bargaining system.

Well, it's true. He may be given
inducements to plead guilty to a lesser

Believe me, this is a flaw.

And will he not be convicted solely
because he is a black?

No, not for this minor offense. He
probably won't even be convicted at all.

As instinctive believers in the
individual as against the collective, we

surround our defendants with protection.

I demand asylum.

Something with those Russians.

Later for the Russians, Neil. This
little scenario is shaping up to satisfy

transportation needs for the next
decade.

Uh, give me a couple seconds, Marty,
okay?

So, uh, they're taking you for a
raiment, all right? My lawyer's meeting

there. Thinks maybe we can beat it on
Entrapta.

Yeah? Did he think he could get to the
newspapers and the radio stations?

What do you mean?

Let's put a publish in a John's list now
and read the names on the air. You

know, the guys who were arrested for
soliciting. No. Every day.

Look, J .D., we had our differences in
the past. Hey, any close family, that's

going to happen.

I'm telling you, J .D., I'm on thin ice
with Peggy now. This will do it. The

marriage will drown.

All right, look.

Maybe I overreacted. I mean, it was such
a shock.

You want me to see what I can do? Would
you?

I can try.

I'd be grateful, man.

The only thing is, I've been getting
these visions.

Yeah. At night, I keep seeing
automobiles, presidents.

I can't figure it out.

Try.

Well, maybe I'm seeing automobiles that
are named for presidents.

Yeah, like the one that freed the
slaves.

Okay, here's a lease on me.

Now, I keep seeing an owner slip in a
glove compartment that says J .D.

LaRue. That's right.

Okay, line up for transport for
arraignment.

Hey,

come on this side.

Okay, J .D., you got it.

Atta boy.

Geez, Rob, I don't know. Whatever
happened to the old fat banana split?

Follow along here, buddy.

He won't come out until he talks to his
brother.

I don't know if he's a spy. He doesn't
look like a spy.

FBI's in the way.

What in the hell happened, Howard?

Jacko must have been planning it, Frank.
He's the one that asked to come back

here. We're going to let him make his
call. What call?

His brother owns a liquor store in
Phoenix.

He wants to call me. All right, just
keep the garden level sealed off. No

decision on any of it until the FBI guys
get here.

Prudent, Frank, if not bold. Division
wants an open line.

Set it up, Ray.

Henry, let's keep those other two
Russians comfortable and isolated.

Low profile, everybody. Nothing to
press, nothing. Nothing happened.

Use it till the FBI gets here.

Council approach.

Are you two officers, please?

I understand this, Eddie.

Hostage situation developing at Hill
Street?

A Russian?

Well, yes, sir, Your Honor. Judge, but
actually it's nothing.

What do we have over there, officers?

He got into a beef at a restaurant, Your
Honor. He smashed a display case.

One prior disorderly? He's receiving
lithium treatment at the hurdle clinic.

I called his doctor about an hour ago.
He described Tyrone as fairly flaky.

Wouldn't classify a major risk.

Where's our complainant?

I guess he's busy, Your Honor.

Officers, on a scale of one to ten, if I
told you that I'm inclined towards

charity of the season, how crazy is this
guy?

Ooh, maybe six. Five and a half. Five
and a half. Six.

Objections to adjournment and
contemplation? None, Your Honor.

Well, let's proceed.

What made you so upset in the
restaurant, Mr. Crane?

Worry for my dog.

Case is adjourned in contemplation of
dismissal.

Do you understand that, young man? If
you misbehave, you won't get another

Christmas present from me, and I'll have
you right back in here.

As it is, I'll want you to pay the
restaurant for damages.

Yes, sir.

You're free to go, Tyrone.

Can I get my dog here?

83095 Robert Nelson, 707 of the penal
code.

Unlawful solicitation.

Complaintant's officer, Martha Nichols.

You tell me. Whipped cream and hot
fudge.

It's impossible to construe defendant's
request as innocuous.

No money changed hands?

None did, your honor.

Now, I admit, I've been in this job for
four years, but whipped cream and hot

fudge, that's a new one on me.

Judge, I know when I've been solicited.

That knowledge notwithstanding, officer,
with language as ambiguous as this, you

should have waited for the cash.

Dismissed.

In shot. Hey, what time this afternoon
should I come down to the lot? What for?

What did you do for me? I told the DA it
was nothing.

Even the judge knew it was nothing.

They don't publish the names of those
arrested, just convicted, right?

Rob, I turned this one for you. You're
lost.

Lost time.

First, chips.

Close the curtain. See if I can.

That's sardines.

Here, honey.

What?

Nothing.

You want it?

Yeah. What?

Thank you.

Okay, hit me with the pipe. Okay, try
not to move the top. Go right now.

Everything's going to be all right.

Straight ahead.

Jeez, they're breaking in down there.

Just give me a minute.

He's got intelligence value.

He's political whether the state steps
in or what. Now, which of the other

individuals has tried to call his
embassy?

Neither one.

That's weird.

In a delegation, you always have one
KGB. He always tries to call his

Shechenko, the guy who defected, wants
to call a brother in Phoenix.

That's fine. Fine. As long as I can
listen and record. You got a setup?

should have a phone hookup in five
minutes. Okay, good. Can we listen, see

anything? Yeah, go ahead. Okay. The
brother in Phoenix, he naturalized? I

know. Yeah, extension 4366. Great. Thank
you. Phoenix!

I hate not to do my duty, but, I mean,
my duties are in the restaurant this

week. Maynard, I suspect you don't want
to see that boy cool his heels in stir

during Christmas time.

Well, that too, but he didn't really do
that much damage. He's supposed to make

restitution. If he doesn't or cause you
any more troubles, I know just who to

call. Thank you.

Now, I brought a few items.

And Merry Christmas. Hey, Merry
Christmas, Maynard.

Ooh, Bobby Hill hat.

Brother runs a liquor store.

Tchenko figures it's Macy's.

Brother tries to explain it's more of a
mom and pop set up.

Tchenko can't believe it. Says, Anton,
your letters, you spoke of so much

business.

Yes,

I say it in your English.

You are not blood of mine.

Agent Ramsey of our Federal Bureau of
Investigation. Yes, of course. FBI.

He has some questions.

Yes, of course.

I'll take care of this. Excuse me.

Frank! I'm sorry I didn't get back to
you sooner. I've been running around

crazy all day. Say, listen, we have a
real problem. Joyce's mother is arriving

tomorrow. I can't, Frank.

I'm sorry. I already told Joyce. I got
plans of my own for the weekend.

The whole weekend?

So... Let me try to work something out
here. The last thing in the world you

need is a couple of kids along messing
up a romantic weekend.

No, no, no. Really, Frank, it'll be all
right. I mean, thank God this man's an

adult. Meaning I'm not?

Don't be so sensitive. I was thinking of
Paul Grogan.

Anyhow, listen, it's going to be all
okay. I'll work it out.

Sure.

This guy sounds special.

He is.

Bye, Frank.

That's the information I have.

some sort of hotel screw -up. Anyhow,
she's got to stay with them so they

keep Frank Jr. for the weekend.

No problem.

Taking the baby, we'll take him, too.

Yeah, and the next time he sees his
father, we'll tell him all about us.

Ah.

So, uh, I guess we should cancel?

Absolutely not.

Now, listen to me, Faye. We want to be
together.

I wouldn't do anything behind a closed
door. I wouldn't acknowledge outside of

it. If you want, I'll go tell him right
now.

No.

Listen, he's going to know soon enough
anyhow.

It's just that, you know, for right now,
it's our secret.

I want to keep it a little longer.

Come on, Luce. Promotional freedom is
only temporary.

It better be only temporary.

472 East Eureka.

Backups will meet you there.

My friend, just now he's completing
preliminary interviews on his lonely

to freedom.

Can't figure this one out.

Did he say what he wants?

There's always about 5 % of them. They
don't know what they want. They apply

asylum. Six months later, they reapply.
They want to go back again.

I've done 12 of these previous. Never
had one like this. No political motive.

Throws his one economic motive out the
window. Got nothing off for a value.

Guy's so off the wall. If he's a KGBC,
he'd be the trick of the year.

If I had a guess, I'd say he's in that
5%. Can we get rid of him?

I want my supervisor to evaluate first.
Tell you, a guy like this would be an

embarrassment. Let him in on other than
ordinary immigration.

Captain.

Please.

I sense you're a very kind man.

I'm appealing to your personal mercy.

How can I help you?

I would like the permission to speak
with Cherchenko.

I'm afraid we can't do that until we
determine his status.

But his desire to defect is not genuine.

Please believe me.

Cherchenko's problem is with me.

We have to take him at his word, ma 'am.

But he'll change his word in three or
five days, and then he and I and

Konstantin, all of us, are going to be
in very big difficulty.

That's why no one has called the embassy
yet. We would speak in English.

We'll have nothing to hide.

What do we have to lose here? You said
yourself the guy could be an

embarrassment.

I'd have to be there.

Fine.

He said we tried to poison it.

Maynard just bought some water, you
know.

And then he started screaming, and
Maynard went to try to calm him down.

And the boy picked up that cutting knife
and stabbed him.

All right.

Maynard had his hand, but he was trying
to keep him off.

But the boy just kept stabbing him and
stabbing him.

What happened?

He's dead.

Maynard, some crazy guy stabbed him. Saw
a guy with a dog?

Guy with a dog?

Yes. What happened, Belger? Somebody
stabbed Maynard.

146 Walnut. They have him cornered in a
basement. He's got a gun. Rico!

We gotta look.

You went down there?

Yep. You caught it? Yeah, one shot.

Tyrone? Tyrone. Ukraine.

Don't be too late.

I don't care.

You're just saying that. You don't think
of consequences. I think of them.

Perhaps it is you who do not.

Explain.

Perhaps it is you who do not.

I say it.

Let us speak frankly while we still have
this chance. I have said so. Finish.

Does this concern love?

Does it concern Konstantin?

You slept with that snake!

That cold frog!

Misha, please, forgive me. I love only
you. No, you do not love me.

We have difficulties, I know. We can
resolve this.

Konstantin understands my love for you.
He understands no second idea. How could

you? How could?

Because you always think only about
yourself.

Because you are the most real egoist.
Because you are the most disgusting.

Misha, but we can still try to resolve
this.

You and I, alone.

No Konstantin.

What was the Russian?

Personal. It involves Konstantin?

Which is KGB.

Not to speak frankly.

Konstantin?

Excuse me.

What was the Russian?

A guy's got a little problem in the
sack.

To prompt.

That was the word he used. To prompt.

Nothing to defect about.

Mr. Meneshvili.

Excuse me, sir.

I've just heard of your occupational
assignment.

I'll have to ask you to remain in
Officer Ballantyne's company for the

of your stay.

She is back with him.

Excuse me?

Mila.

She has reconciled with Cherchenko.

That seems to be the drift of things,
yes.

Hey, there's plenty of tuna in the sea.

I do not wish to defect now.

I am sorry.

I wish only to continue our tour of
America.

If it is possible for this not to become
an international incident, we would be

very grateful, Captain.

No one of us would wish to tell our
government.

I can't guarantee the press, Miss
Morris, but I have no hotline to your

embassies. Thank you. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Hey, Rob.

Oh, Peg.

How are you? I brought Peg down here so
you could explain to her, J .D. Explain

what? Somebody telephoned and told her
I'd been arrested in the police suite.

Somebody told you that?

You wouldn't give me his name.

He said Rob made a... Filthy request.

I couldn't believe it. But then when I
called here, they said he'd been

arrested.

Told her it had to be some kind of
street scum. Somebody do anything for

bucks. You know, you're probably right.
Hey, it was probably a practical joke.

It's not a practical joke. The packing
officer told me.

Got vision problems, CD?

Yeah. Tell her they'll clear up.

You mean, tell her?

Hello, J .D.

Well, you got some guts, Rob.

Hey, this guy, this guy trusts you all
the way, Peg.

My baby.

You gotta swear not to tell.

Okay.

It's an ongoing police action.

Now, we've been worried that maybe some
of the female undercover vice were,

like, yeah, freelancing. You know what I
mean? Like, trying to pick up a couple

extra bucks on the side.

Now, the chief wanted us to find some
outside faces to pretend they were

See, you know what I mean? Like guys
that there was no chance the vice cops

could recognize.

Heaven help me.

I thought of Rob.

Rob, the chief wants to give you a
commendation.

I only hope that the cost hasn't been
too high.

You can imagine what I thought, J .D.
Well, hell yeah. Hey, it's what we

them to think.

Go wash your face now, all right? All
right.

think it's funny? I don't know.

Marty, it's been a rotten day. Let's go
get some dinner.

Okay?

You cut.

We at least no maintenance.

Bitchin' I'll put a bomb in his hole.

Where do I find this?

Around up front.

Hey, you're a sweetheart.

See you kids, huh?

have any possessions yes thank you and
we must say again we're deeply sorry for

a friend maynard freedom sometimes
exacts horrible prices captain i hope

not think we're clowns in the face of
such a sad loss to be taking up your

with what it must seem to you such a
foolish quarrel of course i hope you two

can work out your problems

But at least one of us will have rank.

God,

Frank, what did I do?

It's all right.

Oh, it's not all right.

One of my clients committed a murder.

You don't have a crystal ball, Joyce.

None of us has.

Sweet man.

And he's gone.

It's tragic.

And I got the man released who killed
him.

In conscience.

And with good intentions.

And I'm sure with compassion and concern
for his welfare.

I called his doctor. His doctor thought
he'd be all right.

So did you.

It's what you hoped. It's what everybody
hoped. What else can you do, Charles?

Look like a candidate to your touch?
