LaRue has definitely got mono. That
means he'll be out three weeks minimum.

Guy is sick, but he'll make a party out
of it.

And the big absence, which when I talked
to him this morning, he had the flu,

but even if he were well, Captain
Ferrillo has been reassigned to

Which, in my opinion, stinks.

But that expressing an opinion is
exactly what got him in trouble.

Moving right along to item seven. What
are they bringing in?

We won't know for about a week.

In the meantime, command is Lieutenant
Hunter and Lieutenant Cayetano.

Item seven, stop and cop. And this comes
directly from Deputy Chief Briscoe at

Division.

Every available body will be on the
street for immediate assistant backup

all observed narcotic transactions.

Luce, everybody?

Everybody means everybody.

First one will be on that slimline radio
storefront.

Chief Briscoe says that they're really
looking to make some dents out there.

That's a lot of crap.

Hey, look.

Everybody knows what the mayor's
attitude is on this one.

So let's just go out there, dig our
heels in, and do it. That's right.

Last item.

William Mullins.

He was re -released this morning.

Now, this guy's brother was fingered by
Joyce Davenport yesterday.

She's getting protection.

And when she's around, be alert.

And let's show that we're aware of the
situation.

That's it.

Captain coming back?

Is there anything we can do?

I don't know. They say that he's not
coming back.

Man, Cleveland's got to be crazy.

All right, look.

We're all going to know all about this
soon enough.

So in the meantime, we just do our jobs.

So let's just roll and be careful.

Lieutenant, I'll see you for a second.
Sure.

Remember Whitney Barnes?

Townhouse tapes?

Yes.

Well, Chief Daniels is on this one with
her.

How do you come into possession of this?

D .D. Medica.

Neil, doing that with evidence is
illegal.

That's what I told him. That's why I
took it away.

As long as I didn't get rid of it yet.

Maybe we can help the captain.

I don't believe this would be the way to
go about it.

Then?

I'm turning everything, Lieutenant.

Hey, will you wait one second for me?

Yeah, I'll be over here. Thanks. Sarge,
I don't want to be a pain, but I .A .D.

put me on desk today.

I talked to Briscoe personally about
you. He said you had to go up.

I reminded him that you were officer
involved just yesterday. Yeah. I said

everybody goes back home. Okay.

Okay. I killed somebody once.

If you ever want to talk about
anything... Thanks,

Lizzy.

Clara? Yeah?

How are you today?

I'm okay. I'm going to be okay.

I understand how difficult it must be
for you.

Thanks.

By the way, I happen to have two tickets
to the Philharmonic. Is that right?

Yeah, it's Marla's fourth.

Kosikowski's conducting.

I'm sorry. Would you like to go? Never
gave permission.

Yeah. I mean, that's just too spoiled. I
can have a key made.

If Frank had wanted a key made, he would
have said so. Ray, can we please not

water the hydrant about this?

We're not doing such a thing, Henry.

I have been left in charge, and I am the
boss.

Oh, no, no, no, Raimundo. I am the boss.

I am the boss, Howard. Oh, I'm not
arguing rank, compadre. It's inflection.

You're stressing the wrong word. It's
not I am the boss. It's I am the boss.

are a jerk.

I didn't hear you come in last night.

I was late.

Where'd you go?

For a walk.

Got the flu.

You all right?

Are you all right?

You've been reassigned. You're sick.

There's a Sergeant Meyer already
outside.

My escort.

I don't know him.

He's reading retirement brochures. Great
confidence builder.

You have a bodyguard.

just in case he takes off for Florida.

No good, Joyce.

Frank, I don't want to argue about it.

Are you going into division?

See how I feel.

What can I bring you home?

Some chicken soup?

Great, thanks.

I hope you feel better.

Morning, Ray. Good morning, Chief. Any
fires up here?

Chief, excuse me.

I am wondering if there is any chance
you will reconsider Frank's

Reconsider, Ray?

Frank made a mistake.

He made several.

But I believe he deserves consideration.

This is the mayor's play, amigo.

And the mayor is not currently disposed
to do Captain Ferrello a favor.

Of course, Ozzie was your man in the
election, Ray. Maybe you can prevail on

Chief. Henry, we're going to kick some
butt on stopping cops this morning?

going to try.

You may see Warren Briscoe out there.

Okay. Off the record.

I'm thinking of him as the transitional
guy for your precinct.

Ray?

I hate that man.

What's the deal, Lieutenant?

Division's assigned a bodyguard to the
captain's wife.

I want to go after it from the other
end.

Good. Good for you. I don't want the
sociopath Mullins anywhere near Joyce

Davenport. What are we talking about
here?

We're talking about Mullins as a junkie.

When he's released from Michigan Avenue,
we put a tail on him. When he tries to

cop, we roust him and his connection.

Shut this guy off cold, and sooner or
later, he could make a mistake he'll go

away for.

Or blow town.

Either of which would be fine with us.

I thought we were on stop and cop.

I'm running command post on stop and
cop, Harry. I can take care of that

But maybe you'd like to be reassigned.

I don't want to be reassigned.

Okay.

Leo? Hi, Miss Davenport.

Uh, Mr. Lewisburg?

Uh, interrogation.

That's where I'll leave you, Captain.

Oh, okay. I'll wait right outside the
door. Miss Davenport.

Um, what you did in court yesterday
meant a lot to a lot of people.

Thank you.

Anybody see my catcher's mitt?

Your catcher's mitt?

I had the oil. I had it wrapped. I'm
trying to break it in the pocket.

Uh, no, I haven't seen it, Leo. Sorry.

I shouted. The suction was reversed, and
like a shot, They were sucked down into

the drain.

Excuse me?

My gentles, the family jewels.

You're saying literally... They were
sucked down to the whirlpool drain. This

why I hit him.

Dennis DeLillo?

Yeah, substitute therapist. I'm going
there seven weeks from my back. I never

saw him before today.

Not only he pushes the wrong button, but
he becomes hysterical. I can't pry his

hand off the button.

I'm struggling. I got one hand over the
side of the tub. The suction is

crucifying me. He's screaming, and I
can't get his hand off.

This is when you struck Mr. DeLillo in
the jaw? I'm not a violent man, but I

felt as if my gentles were in a vice.

Uh, without knowing the extent of the
other man's injuries, it's, uh, hard to

tell where they're going with this,
uh... I didn't think I hit him that

At the arraignment, we may find that
they brought these charges simply to

deflect you from a civil suit.

I understand. Thank you.

Are you all right?

I'm in considerable discomfort.

Hey, hey, hold it up a minute.

Looks like he's getting off here.

Uh -huh. Okay, Mr. Mullen.

Showtime. He'll

keep

you a fresh face.

All right,

Nick. Come on. All right. We're helping
this guy check. All right.

We're going to help you out, bro. This
guy is shut up.

Anyone tells him there's no plea
bargains, there's no rollovers, the bus

the head of the class, guaranteed you go
away.

The guy's 86.

You got it.

Now you spread it around.

What do you think you do?

Hey, you're going to make me mad if you
jump bad with me, William, much as I

want to help you out, bro. You're going
to stay clean, Mullins, and we're going

to be right inside your shirt helping
you. I hope you just spend your last

for this, man.

Ain't no big deal, man.

I'll be high in the out.

Then I got me some business to take care
of. You ain't doing business no more,

chump. You got that? You are getting
done, too. So you can forget about all

threats. Now watch this.

Hey, what can we do for you, William,
huh?

Huh?

We're seeing you, Mullins.

I have committed myself to exactly...

Nothing with this purchase, Robert.

I took the item to a pawn shop, and the
gentleman offered me $50, which is

exactly what I paid Jackie O'Dell.

Who are you talking to?

I thought I was talking to you.

Sounds like to me you're talking to
yourself.

Is that so, Dr. Freud?

Yep. Just before taking the matrimonial
plunge.

Unit 2202, shots fired. 98th Utica,
respond.

2202 in response. Don't be so snide and
smart.

Hey, I approve, Renko.

I think their land's the greatest.

Then don't tell me what I have or have
not decided on. Hey, I'm telling you.

When I plunge into those icy waters, I
should be the first to know.

Right.

What the hell's going on, Jesus? This
chick's trying to catch me in.

Who might that be, Jesus?

Claudia, Claudia Ramirez. She comes and
starts shooting at the place.

I'm barricaded inside my office. You
know her?

Yeah, a little.

Senorita! Claudia!

Would you please kindly come out here?

He lied to me! Me mintió el desgraciado!
He promised he'd do the right thing!

See what I mean?

Completely unreasonable!

Claudia!

complicated.

Well, is he all right?

I think so.

Say, do you remember who Claudia Ramirez
is?

No. You interviewed her for that unwed
mother panel.

She demanded to speak with you before
she discussed her case. What case?

She took a shot at your case. You smart.
I like her taste in targets.

Mrs. Farrello.

Claudia. You remember me?

To tell you the truth. You talk to me.
Later you come back with some groceries.

Oh, my gosh.

You're my first interview. How are you?

She's charged with attempted murder.

Illegal possession and discharge of a
firearm.

On the other hand, no one was hurt.

Property damage was minimal. She's an
expectant mother.

I can't believe Jesus signed a
complaint.

Because he knows I'm coming after him.
He knows he don't get no peace.

He's the father?

Claudia, threats like that are exactly
what the court is concerned about. We

have to be able to assure the judge
there won't be any more violence.

I don't give no promise.

Claudia, you don't really want to kill
Jesus.

No. I want that he marries me. I want a
father for my baby.

Have you and Jesus sat down and talked
about this?

He wouldn't. So I do what you told me.

You said if the father won't talk to
you, put a gun to his head.

That was a figure of speech.

Our first order of business is getting
these charges dropped. I think our

chances are fairly good.

As long as there are no outbursts in the
court. No yelling at Jesus.

Claudia, do you understand what Miss
Davenport's saying to you?

I won't make no trouble.

Will you come?

Maybe you can talk to him.

Oh, I don't know what I could say. Say
he should marry me.

Say I don't want to be alone.

So how you doing?

Lieutenant Hunter asked me out on a
date.

Yeah?

Yeah.

I think he's a nice guy.

Yeah, he's very nice.

At least I can get the name of his
shrink.

Hey, one day at a time. Oh, man, I've
been having these nightmares.

Real doozies.

Look, that's going to happen for a
while.

Yeah, is Bob Tunnell there? This is
Frank Ferillo calling.

What? Would you know where that is?

Good.

Yeah.

Hey,

man!

And don't do this to me! For what?

Hey, for a second time, I guess we can
find it in our hearts to forgive you for

this, William.

I'm going to kill you, thug!

Is that the way you talk to somebody
who's concerned about you?

No, he's clean.

Now we're going to pick up the bozo who
dealt you, Billy Boy. Have a talk with

him, too. You're going to be out of
connections real soon, bro.

You get smart!

You find another city, hairball.

you to excuse us for a minute. It's very
important.

Sure. Thank you. I'll bid for it.

I'm sorry to track you down like this.

Don't be silly, friend.

So, uh, tell me.

So, uh, I bought a bottle last night
and, uh, half hour ago I poured myself a

glass. Did you drink it?

No.

But, uh, I'm running out of steps.

What brought it on, Frank?

My job.

Got into a beef with my bosses and wound
up transferred.

My marriage.

My wife and I are pretty distant at the
moment. I'm not sure what all the issues

are, Bob.

What I do know is that for the first
time in seven years, ever

since that time I called you at 2 o
'clock in the morning,

I really feel as if I might wind up
drinking.

Well, it's very simple, Francis.

Don't do it.

Well, if you think it's going to put you
back on the skids.

Seven and seven?

Um, no, isn't that for Mr. Crane?

No, he has the sidecar.

Ah, right, right, right, yeah.

Something for you, sir?

No, thank you.

Well, I guess this is what they mean
when they say.

Red -handed, huh?

Oh, no, wait a minute, Frank. I want you
to see something. I want to show you

something.

Good luck.

Where's the lightning, Frank?

Where's the world splitting open and
swallowing me up?

You've kept coming to meetings.

Yeah, well, see, that's the hypocrisy.
That's what I haven't had the strength

character to change. Because, you see, I
can't handle it. You've kept coming

because you know that's crap.

You may think you're in control now, but
tomorrow, next week... Ten months.

Ten months of tomorrows. I can handle
it.

We're alcoholics, Bob.

You know how it's going to end up.

Yeah, speak for yourself.

I'm no automaton.

No damn organization's going to write
the script of my life.

Well, at the moment, you're in bigger
trouble than I am.

Play it in E, Frank. Play it in E.

Play it with strings.

You can have my number if you want to
call.

I don't want you in the alley. I want
you around the corner on 10th covering

Bulldog 2 and 3.

You have less than two minutes. Move it.

How we doing? You ready?

Find out.

Bulldog 4, give me your position.

Okay, keep cool. Watch your time.

Yep. We're ready.

Good.

It's two blocks down. You can't see it
from here.

It's too bad we can't kick the door in.
Throw in a stick of dynamite and we

close this place through quick.

Your people okay about that poor cop?

Pilski. They're a little hinky.

Well, this will be what they need. We
lose a trooper, we get something back.

Well, yeah.

Ready to go. All right, let's go.

this successful bus. No comment.

How about in light of your reassignment?

What's he doing here?

What, they don't give you a chance to
get your things? I didn't mean it to

that way.

Let me ask you something. What do you
think if we shut down this stop -and

operation for a few days until
manpower's up to steam? What do you

You know, I'm going to be handling
transition here for a few weeks.

I really appreciate your info.

Would you excuse me?

Oh, sure. Yeah.

Uh, Deputy Chief, what are the plans for
the stocking company?

I'll take it online, too.

Ben.

How was first aid division?

I haven't been there yet.

I got this bug.

Sound a little punk.

What was all that?

Oh, we got a little luck in when a
stopping cop moves.

Pops some serious weight. Way to go.

Doesn't help you get your job back. No
way, Bishop. The ship sailed, Henry. Her

death's on your head. It's your fault.
You gave me the order. I don't know what

you're talking about. I said Pilski,
too. I asked specifically. I gave you no

such order. Oh, you lying son of a...
Lucy. Walk away, Lucy.

He's lying. Lucy. I asked him. I asked
him.

Clear back to the area near the desk,
please.

That's pathetic.

Is she telling the truth?

Rillo, I make roster assessments with 24
turnout sergeants a morning.

I get a fast half hour to do it if I get
my calls through.

If she's right, she's wrong.

What do you mean she's right? Meaning I
can't remember.

Now, Bates and I can call each other
liars and screw up both our careers, or

can agree there was a bureaucratic mix
-up. Where I authorized a general

turnout, yes, she asked me if Pilski was
included. I said everyone was active.

She did not tell me who Pilski was.

So as long as you still got phantom
feelings in your captaincy, get her to

to that.

I'll try, and I think you'd better leave
her. I want to know that she agrees to

it. I'll call you. You know I could also
romance with an open subordination. You

know that. I'll call.

you, Lucy.

Yeah?

Briscoe wants the story to IAD to be
that you asked him about Pilski, but you

didn't identify his officer involved
from the day before.

I did.

I told him Pilski, the one who was
involved in the shooting. I said it.

you did, it didn't register.

You think I ought to go along? I can't
tell you to do that, but I can tell you

it'll turn into his word against yours,
and if that happens, you'll lose.

I should have known it was wrong. I
should have known it was a mistake.

You relayed the order in good
conscience.

Yeah, Esther has to know what to say.
Let yourself out, Luce.

What shall I tell Briscoe?

Whatever you want.

Frank! What, Faye?

I'm sorry.

How are you doing?

I've been better.

I know, but have you ever been any
worse?

No, sir.

No. I don't believe in disregarding the
chain of command.

Excuse me, Mayor, but it is common
knowledge Chief Daniels reassigned

Farrell at your... I understand.

I understand.

All right.

Thank you for your attention.

Evidence. They want to play hardball,
Henry.

Cayetano will play too.

Don't care, Lieutenant. What position?

I keep trying to steady myself, but I
can't.

I keep feeling as if I'm drowning, but
as if I'm in the middle of the ocean and

there's nothing to grab onto.

Joyce needs me terribly right now.

I can't be there for her.

Sound familiar?

Went for a walk last night. I didn't
drink it.

Had it right there.

Frank, I knew you have the strength.

Shouldn't have burdened you with this.

Are you kidding?

We have history.

Come here, Scooter.

I have to be in court in a few minutes.

The right side of the law this time, one
of my welfare mothers.

Unless you want me to stay.

No, no, go.

Thanks.

No more of those walks, mister.

I'll tie your shoelaces together.

I guess I have to admire your
persistence, Ray.

Do I have to paint no sale across my
forehead?

Here is a commercial transaction I think
you will be interested in.

Big cheese.

Empty. Educate me. It is the tape of you
and the prostitute, Whitney Barnes.

You are the big cheese.

Where's the videotape?

In my possession.

I guess that puts all the cards on the
table.

Yes.

Deal him. Frank Furillo gets his job
back.

I .A .D., get your statement?

Yeah.

Have you seen Lucy?

Look.

Maybe you want to come back outside and
you'll be better.

Yeah, I just got to... Luke.

I can't talk right now.

Captain, could I bother you for half a
second?

What, Leo?

I know you've been transferred, but I
was wondering if you could co -sign a

credit union loan application.

How much?

$2 ,400.

New car?

Baseball camp.

It's perfect, Captain. It falls right on
my vacation.

A lot of money for a baseball camp.

No, sir. They give you a room and three
squares a day, plus all the clinics.

How are things at home?

Home's fine, Captain.

Home's over.

Mrs. Schnitz is in Vegas.

I wired her all the money.

She hopes to become a dealer.

Sorry.

So could you sign?

You know, Captain, I was the first
screen catcher in high school.

I used to say that aside from Mrs.
Schnitz, it was the only time in my life

something good happened to me.

Captain, if there's ever anything that I
can do for you... Could you give me a

few more boxes, then?

Give it.

Ozzie's downstairs.

You and I have to come to an
understanding.

About? Don't be coy, Frank.

Ray Cayetano's never been more than your
right arm.

Now, I'm going to have your word that
all copies are destroyed.

I square you downstairs. We have a clean
sheet top to bottom. Agreed?

Ozzie, I've given you fast and full
support in this situation with Frank.

Pin arose on you, Fletcher. I'm
reminding you of it only because I don't

motives confused when I ask you now to
reinstate.

Please, hear me out.

It was my plan to bring Warren Briscoe
in while I arranged a replacement.

Warren's just told me that he doesn't
choose to be considered.

That leaves us looking at a command
vacuum of several weeks' duration in a

precinct which has just lost its
turnout, Sergeant, and which, on its

days... faces the morale problems
concomitant to being this city's armpit.

of which makes me call you, Ozzie. If an
hour ago, Frank Ferrello doesn't give

me a very persuasive indication of just
how desperately he wants another crack

at this job, Frank has asked for a
probationary reinstatement.

Given the circumstances, I'd like your
permission to consider it. You don't

my permission.

Make your case.

Frank?

I'd very much like another chance.

I realize I was wrong to question
policy.

And I'm sorry for the embarrassment it
caused you.

If I get a chance, it won't happen
again.

What frosted my butt was your calling
stop -and -cop politics.

Calling it trendy.

I grew up on these streets.

I held my brother in my arms while he
died of this poison.

If I made a mistake, maybe I did
encourage an overcommitment of

It was not to buy popularity.

It would be a probationary
reinstatement, Ozzie.

I think you try to be a good cop, Frank.

Credit me with trying to be a good
mayor.

All right.

Thank you.

I'm going to be a tough probation
officer, Frank.

Let's call it in, huh, guys? What do you
say?

He's got a gun. Let's call it in. There
are three cops here. How many cops do

you want?

He's coming.

Police! Freeze!

Hold it, Mullins!

Put it down, Mullins! It's over!

You want me?

You want me?

Drag me!

Caught my generals, Your Honor, my
gentle parts.

Is this correct, Mr. Bernstein?

Mr. Burke's parts were sucked into a
whirlpool drain?

My papers indicate defendant may have
suffered some provocation, Your Honor.

Some? Some provocation?

How'd you like it? Can you imagine?

You jerk, you amateur, you moron.

All right, calm down now.

What we have here...

It's a classic crime of passion.

Potentially a monstrously lucrative
civil suit.

But so the judge could make him do the
right thing, is that right?

Claudia, I'm not a lawyer, so I can't
help you with that part of it, but Miss

Davenport seems to think not.

Why not?

I'm not his common law or nothing.

Claudia, look, I think we just have to
be as realistic as possible.

First time we met, I remember you told
me you kept your baby.

I wasn't 17, and it wasn't my first
child.

Besides that, I had job skills, and I
had some money. He's got money. You

all that gang stuff, he don't have
money?

He should marry me.

And what if he won't?

I think you should consider adoption.

I want my baby.

I know.

But what we don't know is whether Jesus
wants your baby.

Your Honor,

there are extenuating circumstances.
And?

I see a bun in the oven, which I take to
be the responsibility of the

complainant. I want to be the fifth in
this, Your Honor.

Spineless punk.

Yo, Judge.

How about some contempt of court here?

Contempt of life. That's what you are.

Look at this beautiful girl. Come with
me, Claudia.

Come here.

Now put your hand on it.

Feel that. You can feel life in there.
It's moving.

But you know what I don't understand?

I do not understand how a man doesn't
love the woman that's carrying his

Yo. Who says I don't love her?

Of course I love her. Feels good when
I'm with her.

Then why don't you drop the charges and
marry her?

Who says I ain't gonna marry her?

Of course I'm gonna marry her. All
right.

You had a blood test, young man?

Yes, sir. A couple of months ago.

Unrelated incident.

What? You're a woman.

I passed.

If the parties agreed to marry, will the
state drop the gun charge?

Yeah.

And do you, Jesus Emilio Martinez, take
this woman to be your lawful wedded

wife? Yeah, I do.

The ring. Ring? Ain't got a ring, bro.

Excuse me, Johnny, sir.

I think this ought to do you just fine,
Jesus.

What do you need for this?

Exactly what I paid for it.

Seventy -five dollars.

Got you covered.

I now pronounce you man and wife.

Thank you, officer.

Oh, I'm so happy for you.

Cowboy?

Yeah.

I bought this for Marty. It was going to
be a birthday present.

I want you to have it. What you do with
it is up to you.

Oh,

Bobby Hill.

So that gonna be it with IED?

You'll have follow -up questions
tomorrow.

Like what? What kind of questions?

What's your problem, Gary Baldwin?

I mean, you act like you got something
to hide.

Look, if we would have busted that guy
the first time, or even the second time,

he'd be alive.

So what's IED gonna say about that, huh?

They're not gonna ask about that.

What are you going to tell him? Look,
Harry, didn't you ever use discretion on

possession bust?

The man came out with a piece, Harry.

He was ordered to disarm.

He shot at us. I know.

We hunted the guy.

He was hunting, too.

Family.

Look, what I know is that the guy
threatened Captain Furlow's wife.

Does that give us permission to kill
him?

Look, you've got to understand
something, kid.

We stayed on that guy's back. We gave
him a chance to make a mistake, but he

made it. It was his choice.

And he could have come in, right?

And you gave him a chance to drop his
weapon.

Convict yourself of what's in your
heart, Harry. You're not going to make a

man.

You'll have violence in your heart. A
lot.

Detective.

Miss Gatlinburg?

Part of me wants to ask what happened.

What's that?

How William Mullins died.

He just robbed a liquor store.

He was armed.

Resisted arrest.

He shot at you?

Uh -huh.

I'm sorry for asking you that.

It's okay.

Thank you.

Take it easy. It's okay.

Got a friend here to see you.

Daryl Ann.

Daryl Ann.

Whatever it is, just say it.

Um, do you think that you, um, would
marry me?

Well, I already said that I would.

Well, then, uh... You mean this is it?

You're asking me?

I figure I have to, or else what would I
do with this?

It's beautiful.

I can't believe it.

I thought you were going to give me the
boot as sure as anything.

I thought about it, and I decided any
man I'm going to give

you up ought to have his head examined.

I love you, Andy Renko.

And I love you, future Mrs. Andy Renko.

Are you as scared as I am?

Sure you want it back?

I was surprised how much.

I stood in that station house today, and
I looked at that decent, kind man,

knowing what he'd done for me.

Everything I hear says that went by the
book.

I looked at Washington, and I felt... I
thought of all the decent people

working in that precinct.

Doing terrible things because their jobs
made them.

I hated where I was standing. I hated
that station house.

Oh, Frank.

I need you.

I need us back together so much.

have been separate.

Ever think it might not be our fault?

It's the damn work.

The damn world we work in.

I nearly took a drink today.

You know anyone who wants a fifth of
hooch?

Trade, you could always use another gun,
and I could sure use a belt.
