Should be a quiet shift, Norm.

No appointments, no major operations
pending.

Don't give us a thought, Captain.

Oh, Inspector Scapezzi says a private
design consultant may be visiting today.

All right, we'll handle it.

City Comptroller for you, Captain. Mine,
too.

Frank? I got it.

Lieutenant Butch.

No captains off the day I'm in charge

Yeah, sure

People, this being Portuguese American
Citizenship Week, be advised the city

fathers have renamed Blackstone Avenue
in honor of the late distinguished

councilman from the 7th District.
Henceforth, traffic citations on said

thoroughfare shall read Alberto Juarez
Aguilera Avenue.

Alberto who?

No offense to our Portuguese brothers,
sorry, but that is County Route 104, so

couldn't we just write the ticket?

Happened on County Route 104. Instead of
having to learn a foreign language, it

has glottal stops. Community relations
matter, Andrew. You can take it up with

Lieutenant Goldbloom upon his return. In
regards to which, item 10 relates in

that both Lieutenant Goldbloom and
Captain Ferillo are oars to combat

Sitting on the orals examination panel
for a new lieutenant.

Taking station command, Lieutenant
Bunce.

Assignments.

Assignments are successful. Buy and bust
operation continues in the Jefferson

corridor.

Mintz and Russo, keep up the good
collars.

Bates, Flaherty, Aldrich, Jackson on
backup.

Hartnett called in sick this morning, so
Butler rides with Kerwin.

Does Lieutenant want a word?

Yeah.

Yeah, if I could just have a minute
here.

I got some news, and it stinks.

We're losing our overtime pay.

It looks like we're going back to taking
overtime in days off. You're joking.

You know, I am the PBA representative,
and this is an unconstitutional... Hey,

what's going on, Lieutenant?

Well, I just got off the horn with the
city comptroller, and it seems like

there's a problem with our portion in
the statewide asset forfeiture grant.

You mind translating that?

All right, now, we all know that... ever
since Proposition 9 was passed, that

the city hasn't had the cash to put our
overtime pay in the budget, which means

that we've been using the money from
this state program.

The city doles it out to each precinct
based on how much dope we pull in. Now,

it looked like we made our quota, but
them bean counters downtown say they

a mistake now.

They have now decided that the credit on
that Mackler bust, one quarter of a

million worth of soda, goes to division
and not the other. Hey, we made that

case. We tailed Macklemore for a month.
Division didn't come in till the end.

I'm not here to argue.

I mean, decision's final and there's no
appeal process, which means we are 130

grand short of our quota.

When's the deadline?

Tonight. Goodbye, Greenback. You know
what happened.

You know division came up short on its
quota and stiffed us.

They always do that. All right, look,
look. There may be a shot here.

I mean, 130 grand is just a drop in the
ocean of abusable substances out there.

Think about it.

Normal course of business, we want
collars. Bust that stick.

Today, we are looking to confiscate
dope, period.

Hypothetical. You know a guy's dirty,
you pop him. Turns out probable cause to

search won't hold up in court.

Unfortunate, but it happens.

Suspect walks.

But...

The contraband stays right here in
custody.

You say that if you go, Lieutenant?

Hey, hey, hey. I say that? Anybody hear
me say that?

All I'm saying is we are 130 grand short
of our quota, and we got seven and one

-third hours to do something about it.
Yes!

Dismissed.

First it's the moonlighting, now it's
the overtime.

I just found this great apartment over
in Rivington.

Built -in microwave, carpets, curtains,
everything. Carol Ann started her own

cookie business in order to make ends
meet.

I'm supposed to be the breadwinner. It's
a deliberate... I know. ...on the part

of the city to deprive us of our
manhood.

Tell you, man, the only thing I'm going
to worry about today is... Don't!

Let's take it easy.

No problem.

What do we got here, Rico?

What's happening, man? Shut up!

Now, we're looking for a man named Otis
Yates. Have you seen him? No. How about

you? You seen him? No, I never heard of
him, man. You are a liar!

Who is he?

I am looking for Otis Yates. If you see
Otis Yates, you tell him I'm looking for

him, all right? Do you understand?

Get out!

Who in the hell is Otis Jenks? Otis
Jenks was one of my friends in third

He had great big ears and big glasses on
his face.

What?

That's my Norton.

Your Norton was stolen two years ago.
Don't tell me I don't own my own bike.

That's my Norton. Come with me. Come
with me. Come with me. Come with me. Get

out of my car. Get out of my car.

That's my Norton. I don't know anything.

So let's do this, though.

Hey.

Hey.

Are you doing business here or what?
Yes. Patience, muchacha. I'm busy.

Please, don't insult Carmelo. His
stuff's 85 % pure, huh?

Final offer.

I'm telling you, I'm too soft for this
business.

Carmelo would dearly like to party with
you sometime.

Okay, guy in the long maroon coat, he's
got my bills.

It was that chick, right?

She's a narc, huh? Get in on this. I'm
telling you, man.

Let's go. Hands on her. Hey, come on.
Okay, okay, okay.

What do you got?

Blinded by Tatas. Oh, I see him. I see
the motorcycle.

What? The big Norton. Purple stripe on
the tank. You got it. Where'd it go?

Turn a narc out. Head north.

This guy's a righteous man.

Spirit Schuster? Yeah, go ahead,
Lieutenant. 60 % purity.

60 %?

Come on, that stuff's better than that.

That's 6 .4 grams at 60%.

$572.

$572.

Lieutenant?

Yeah? You getting everything you need
there, Wally? I know a courtroom

bag when I see one. This dope came from
your own property cage.

You can even see the staple marks where
the evidence tag has been removed.

Oh.

Looks like you're right, Wally.

Dee Dee, you put this back where it came
from and you report to my office

immediately. Yes, sir. I thought it
would work.

You can understand the men are a little
excited as all.

Friendly scales now, Wally.

Black tar heroin.

Glut on the market at present.

Book value way down.

The lady's name's Walter Pandovich.
Caught her dealing outside a cut -rate

lingerie store.

Come on, give a guy some credit. It's a
marketing gimmick.

I'm straighter than you.

I'll take the merchandise the way you
love it.

Theo, how many times do I have to tell
you lavender is not your color?

Stop!

I mean, what? I'm telling you the truth,
people.

Yeah? If you're such a big snitch with
the division, what are you doing out

there dealing on the street?

Well, you know about the economy. Man's
got to have two jobs to make ends meet.

The phone call won't hurt, Luce.

Captain Hart will vouch for me, I swear.

You can let me off with a warning, huh?

I got no time for this shit. Will you
file a report? If only life were that

simple, but someone wanted stolen,
wouldn't look... particularly wholesome

police report, Norm. Hey, hey, hey.
You're wasting my time to tell me that

somebody took some hot goods from your
place.

He was calling it for somebody. Drop off
the earth, Sid. Wait a minute. Don't

you want to hear the explanation, Norm?
I've got to pull it.

Weekly 147.

Raymond,

you've been doing this job long enough.
Show some initiative, huh?

Norm. Look, I am going to close my eyes
now, Sidney, and when I open them up,

you are going to be a thing of the past.

Right there.

Come on. What is this?

Norm. I understand you're in charge,
Lieutenant.

Yeah. I'm working with PNR. My name
is... You're in charge? Excuse me.

made it to the top, Norm? Is that what
I'm hearing?

I said I knew that you could do it. It's
only fair. It's only what you deserve.

Sidney Thurston always backs the right
horse. Congratulations.

Now. Yeah, sure, right. Is this the way
you're going to treat the little people?

The friends who help you get where
you're going? Get out. All right. Think

it. Out.

Now. It's just...

This is just some creep now. So, uh, you
were saying? Planning and Research

Division. I'm consulting.

I'm Laurie Tuttle, design efficiency
expert.

I'll need a couple of hours with you to
go over color schemes, swatches, floor

plans. Whoa, uh, we're a little busy
today.

It's a prototype study, Lieutenant. How
color influences environment.

Design determines decision. Uh, Sergeant
Hunter, uh, could you, Norman?

This is, uh, um... Laurie Tuttle.

We've met. Good. Take care of her,
Sergeant, all right?

Shall we start with a tour, Miss Tuttle?

Lieutenant, have you reviewed the
Panovich bust this morning? I've been a

busy, Miss Davenport. You tell me where
detectives LaRue and Washington have

probable cause to search the purse Mr.
Panovich was carrying.

Looks murky. Murky? Try outrageous.

Raymond. Sir?

Kick Mr.

Panovich. Yes, sir.

Hate to waste taxpayers' money on bad
police work. Anything else?

Camello, bad news.

What did Captain Hoffman say?

His exact words?

Camello's a hump. Let him rot.

Cops, they break your heart every time.

45 seconds.

40. They're slipping.

Used to be what he got to call by now.

Attention units, vicinity 418 Hudson.

Call reporting sounds of a struggle.

Apartment 102.

They left out the woman screaming.

Detectives Washington and LaRue
responding.

up the victim in the closet.

Neil, I believe there are controlled
substances on the premises. You ain't

no warrants. Warrants?

We're answering a distress call. Oh, oh,
oh, my. Look it. A cocaine burrito.

Just deliver. Hold up, you scumwad.

Your friends suffer from high blood
pressure?

Huh, Stevie?

I've often felt that a camouflage motif
would fit nicely.

By the way, Miss Tuttle, did I mention
that I designed the eater uniform?

Several times. All right.

Last name.

I already gave you that.

Spell it.

Brisoni. B -R -A -Z -O -N -I.

First name?

Fetch.

You got a dog's first name?

It's what they call me. Something to do
with biting people, maybe?

What's your real first name?

Louis. Louis Brisoni, Jr.

How's Louis Sr. gonna take the news we
got you down here?

You know when you find him.

Detective Belker.

That's right, Mrs.

Brazoni. You've got to come down here to
sign your son out of custody.

Well, what time do you get off work at
the diner, Mrs. Brazoni? You don't get

off work until six o 'clock.

Can I talk to her?

Hi, Mom.

It's nothing.

Don't worry about me, okay?

I'll be fine.

Did you take your emperor?

You mind?

You ran out of medicine.

Shouldn't you just leave it in the
kitchen?

Do that a lot.

Yes, you do, Ma.

Now listen, tell that creep Robinson not
to make you work on the busiest tables.

Gotta take time off your feet.

Okay. Me too.

So what do I do till six?

Make license plates?

Well?

$44 ,200.

Hey, hey, hey. We got a new total,
folks.

$44 ,200.

Thank you. Thank you, ladies and
gentlemen.

Overtime pay, here we come. All right.

I understand you got a special detail
this afternoon.

Yeah, I got a 406 on Decker at 1 ,500
hours.

1 ,300.

There's 704 for you to sign, Lieutenant.
Oh.

Down here, sir.

Yeah, I can read.

Lieutenant?

Inspector Scabese.

You got a minute?

Yeah, sure.

Look, if this is about all the activity
in the street... You met on this...

Tuttle this morning, Lieutenant?

That's with all the wallpaper swatches?
Yeah.

I, uh, got her the job.

Of course, what do I know about interior
design, right? That means she's

probably real good at what she does. Oh,
she is.

Yeah. I met her a few weeks ago, and
she's very impressive.

So, how can I help you, Inspector?

Well, Laurie, Miss Tuttle.

Called me this morning, and she was a
little teed off because she wasn't

with the man in charge.

I sort of promised her she'd be given
priority.

Listen, we hardly know each other at
all, Norm, but if you just gave her an

or so of your time, it would mean a lot
to me. And it could mean a lot to you,

too, someday.

Capisce?

Say no more, Inspector.

Forget interior design, Lieutenant.

We're talking architecture.

Come on, cowboy. Let's just get back to
the station and log all this junk in,

okay? Oh, my Lord, that's my bike.

Yes, Sergeant.

Yes, sir.

Lee Terrell is next.

I'll call him.

Oh, just a moment, Lieutenant.

First, I want to pass on this
conversation I had with Chief Daniels.

Well, you saw that Sunday magazine piece
about how we're falling short on

minority promotions.

Only three blacks made lieutenant in the
past two years.

Now, Chief's pretty upset about that
situation.

Translation? Daniels wants to press off
his back.

Where are you going with this, Mike?

Lee Taylor's a good man.

He also has the highest written score of
any minority candidate we're seeing

today. Are you suggesting we give Taylor
special consideration?

What is this, Frank?

Your department's subversive is going to
cause trouble again? I think it's a

legitimate question.

All right.

All I'm saying is I think you'll be
impressed.

Okay.

It wouldn't hurt to keep the big picture
in mind, Frank.

Sergeant Taylor?

Uh, every lunch break should be like
this.

Great way to diet.

I'm still starving. Come here.

Come here.

Come here.

Patrick.

Patrick.

We gotta get back out on the street.

We'll never make our quota.

Work.

Work, work.

Hey, listen, how about a movie tonight?

I told you no.

How come you don't want to be seen with
me?

Patrick. You know, maybe, maybe I should
play a little harder to get, huh?

Respect myself.

I mean, I could go out with individuals
who don't mind being seen with me in

public. Maybe you ought to.

I'm just... kidding around.

I just don't think it's such a great
idea for us to be seen together yet.

go to the movies together all the time.
It doesn't mean anything.

Isn't it a nice day out, Patrick?

So sunny.

Yeah.

Okay.

That's good, huh?

What'd you say to that?

This is anchovies and cream cheese.

So what's the deal?

This nice guy routine.

Somebody bites me, I take an interest.

Right. This guy you work for, Demetrius,
if you keep running with him, you're

going to wind up dead, kid.

Oh, I get it. You want me to set up
Demetrius.

Well, let's get something straight.

I'm no rat.

Demetrius may be cheap. In fact, I know
he's holding out on me, but... Look,

Demetrius is the bad guy. I'm the good
guy. It's time you started learning the

difference.

Help me nail him. I can help you.

Yeah, how?

You gonna give me money?

No, I'm gonna help you in court.

I'm a juvenile. They can't touch me.
They can if I add assaulting a police

officer to the charges, kid.

I'm no rat.

No, you're not. You're a dog. You bite
people.

Color neon will dramatize the urban
spectrum of crime, of violence, of life.

Your input, Lieutenant?

My input?

Keep it a police station.

Michelangelo designed a bathroom.

Uh, you lost me.

We must shed our preconceptions about
space.

I mean, when Michelangelo looked at a
bathroom, he didn't see a bathroom. He

opportunity. You want to see our
bathrooms?

Is it all women or just me you refuse to
take seriously, Lieutenant?

I was, uh, being serious.

You want to do an interrogation, eh,
Lieutenant?

Great, excuse me.

You're done.

You're over, both of you. Careful,
Winston. You're gonna stroke out. Yeah?

got a problem? You got a disaster,
Bunce. He busted a dope dealer,

This guy was with him. Winston,
detective, first grade, you can check me

with the vision.

Your playmates here stiffed a call.

A rookie stunt. All right, slow down.

They made a phony distress call and
answered it themselves.

Is that right?

Yes, sir.

I'm shocked. Cut the crap, Bunce. Yeah,
I know all about you.

And I know what's going down here today.

And your butt is gonna be in a sling.
All right, you lighten up, Winston, huh?

Kick him with the dealer.

Make it look right.

I got a major action going down this
afternoon.

And if you clowns have screwed it up,
I'm coming back here for you badgers.

Jeepers. Yeah?

We haven't finished our conversation,
Lieutenant.

For now, we have. I'm very busy, all
right?

Assuming you've never seen Junction
before, Lieutenant.

I'm going to explain exactly what this
means. It's obvious from this morning's

cases that you have condoned a
systematic pattern of illegal searches

seizures. I merely informed them that...
In signing this, Judge Walton calls the

evidence against you overwhelming.

Law. Further arrest without probable
cause could lead to criminal charges and

punitive damages of no less than $1 ,500
per incident.

In short, Lieutenant, the circus is
over.

We have a situation, Miss Davin. I know
all about your situation, Lieutenant.

But the Bill of Rights wasn't invented
for your convenience.

Looks like you have plenty of time now,
Lieutenant.

Let's take another hypothetical,
Sergeant. You have an officer close to

retirement who has become unproductive.
One day he shows up with liquor on his

breath. What do you do?

You say he's nearing retirement.

A young guy like me in charge, he's not
going to be so receptive.

That might be a problem for you, your
age?

It's a tough situation.

I agree, Sergeant. But how would it
shake down in the station? A guy like

freeloading, probably drunk to boot?

I had this partner once who liked to
slack off.

And it made my job twice as hard. To
what you're suggesting is that most

this officer would be dumping work off
onto others, which would cause

bitterness, lower morale.

Yes, sir, that's right. What would you
do to remedy the situation?

Well, I could try talking to him. You
mean put pressure on him with

measures? Yes, sir. I guess I could
threaten to discontinue the guy's

It's a good thought. But why give the
guy a black mark unnecessarily?

Why not suggest counseling first?

Well, I guess I could do both.

First counseling, then disciplinary
action if that didn't work.

Well, we've already kept you ten minutes
over, Sergeant.

I want to thank you for your patience
and the results will be up tonight.

Thank you, sir.

Next candidate, Lieutenant.

Sorry, Lieutenant.

Really thought you were going to make
it.

It ain't over.

We got you till the end of the shift,
Wally. You keep your butt screwed to

chair.

Wanton violation of rights. We didn't
violate any rights.

Apparently, we're the only ones who
didn't.

Well, let's go back to the street and
make some more good busts. Yeah, $30

worth in three hours? I don't know about
that.

You think you can just dodge me all day?
You're wrong. No, you're wrong, lady. I

was promised...

Hey, access this, Miss Tuttle. You are
out of my life.

Raymond, Raymond, you see to it that
Miss Tuttle here gets shown around the

station, okay? She needs coffee, you get
her coffee. She needs to get in

somewhere, you get her in there. But if
you let her get anywhere near me, I will

not be responsible for the consequences.

Another heroic effort sabotaged by
intellectual pygmies.

Excuse me, sir.

That's life, huh, Norm?

You're flying high in April, you're shot
down in May.

You just solved my problem, Sid.

I did? Yeah. I've been wanting to kill
somebody all day.

Norm, wait. I happen to be here to help.
I got a plan.

What is it with you?

With you.

Forty dollars.

I'm touched, Sid. This will really help.

Look at the bills, Norman.

Same serial number.

These ain't bad.

Man, don't I know it. I used to have a
whole steamer trunk full.

This is what was stolen from your
apartment counterfeit 20s? Why don't I

Somebody talk.

The point is, I can get back to the
source, Norm. Three Gs gets you 30 Gs

of funny money, which nets you 30 Gs
worth of dope through me, which puts you

over the top. Of course, you gotta
consider my finders being this. Don't

Which amount you will accept pending
appraisal this afternoon? Thank you very

much. Andrew J. Renko will be there with
bells on.

Bobby Hill, don't ever let me say
anything bad about an insurance company

because once I refund that $800 they
gave me when the bike was stolen, I get

back the title to my money.

And where are you going to come up with
$800 without cash overtime?

Maybe I'll borrow from Daryl Ann.

Carmelo!

Oh, look at this. Well, judging from the
circumstances, this means you don't

have to do if you want me.

I'll mind it for you. You're lucky.

Hey, you're not complaining, Stevie. Who
is this?

Who is this? It's me, Carmelo, man.

Carmelo, you know this guy?

Yeah, he's a cop. Sit down here.

Forget it, Sid. They won't authorize the
buy money. This injunction's put Bugs

and everybody short.

It's all right, Mom. Time for plan B.

Does this belong to you, Lieutenant?

Oh, yeah.

Told him he could sit outside if he
didn't bother anyway.

Caught him trying to lift us from Wally
downstairs.

Big deal.

It's all right, honey. I can handle this
right here.

That's where you get out the rubber
hose. Shut up!

So how does your pal here happen to know
who the vision's going to pop this

afternoon? Carmelo.

happens to be an important source.

Meaning he was hanging out at the
division and he overheard something.

Exactly. Now, what I am proposing is, in
exchange for terms to be discussed,

Norm, you get to use my compadre's
information to steal a major bust.

Out from under the division's nose.

I hate to say it, the guy makes sense.

Where's the study of the major action
going down this afternoon?

Okay, Carmelo, let's hear the where and
when.

Terms, Norm.

If the information pays off, Carmelo's
kicked.

And I get my dues back, plus $50 for
interceding in this matter.

Okay?

The where and when.

I got the who. It's Bramson.

Jamie Bramson. Forget it, man.

Bramson's a small time.

I don't know, J .D. I always said that
he was connected high up. Just could

never make him on anything big.

All right, listen, find Bramson and stay
on his tail. We're going to have to

have probable cause this time around,
but it's worth a shot. We're running out

of cards.

You're right, Lieutenant.

Yeah.

All right, listen, if you're jerking our
chains here, Carmelo, you both will be

making permanent inference in the
sidewalk.

Jeez, no.

Have a little faith.

Ah, news of the day. Forty -five minutes
after downing two crullers in a large

coffee, Jaime Bramson's on the move
again.

I'm telling you, Neil.

Graham says nothing.

Hey, hey, hold on, Dirty.

Hey, maybe that's why we could never get
nothing dirty on Bramford. He makes his

deals on the move.

I don't believe that van came to a
complete stop. Do you, Neil?

Can I see your driver's license, please?
What for?

Running a stop sign.

What's that you got in the back?

Freeze, Branson.

Looks like we found ourselves a
pharmaceutical company on wheels.

Is this one an OD, Hal? Okay.

You've got no right to bring me here.

What's the matter? You never saw a dead
body before?

Plenty. Rolled a few, too.

Another one, Hal.

Hey, come on.

He's 18 years old.

Died of hypoxia from cocaine poisoning.

her, too.

Does she look familiar to you? Hey, let
me go.

Mom, the smell's making me sick.

17 years old.

Developed an abscess from a dirty
needle. Amputated her arm.

Died of subsequent infection.

Enough! No, that's not enough.

Burned victim.

But drug -related.

19 years old. Nodded out on his
cigarette after ingesting a variety of

and alcohol.

feel good about what you're doing?

Huh?

Has that made you feel like a man?

Stop! Is that the way you want to go
out?

I'm gonna be sick!

It was in my hands, Neil. In my hands.

That's all we could, love.

That's the expression on Winston's face.

It was something anyway.

Hey, listen.

Sorry what happened, guy.

Hey, it was a good fit, man.

You guys are terrific, you know that?
I'll tell you something.

From now on, I got something, I'm coming
to you.

Hey, Carmilla.

Hey, how you doing, Sam?

Let's, uh, you and me have a friendly
chat about territorial boundaries, all

right? All right. Lieutenant, uh, could
we talk for a moment, please? I thought

I made it clear we're not talking.

I won't cause you any problems.

Thanks.

All right, go ahead.

All the work goes on, Pippin.

Detective Belker requests a backup,
Sergeant.

Oh, Lord, Bobby, it's that insurance
adjuster who tried to hook me to that

with my Chevy. What are you talking
about? The insurance adjuster with the

mechanic. We meet again, Officer Ranko.
Harold Sturkle, perennial casualty.

Mr. Sturkle, given the dubious nature of
our last transaction, I am appalled you

have the nerve to show up here.

On the contrary, I leaped at the chance
to handle this case.

Okay, it's what, $800 minus the
depreciation, right? Right. I did some

research, officer. That Norton is now
classified as a vintage motorcycle,

virtual museum piece. Well, I know that.
It's a high -performance... For which

full compensation present value comes to
$3 ,500.

$3 ,500?

Oh.

Problem? We can't do this. We hold
title. You're trying to stick me. What

around comes around.

I've circulated your file. The price is
set.

Mr. Strickland, I'm going to call your
superiors, and I'm going to tell them

what you tried to do with my Chevy.

Go ahead.

Your mechanic is prepared to testify
that you, uh, thought the whole thing up

yourself. Uh, look, now, don't you think
that we can make some kind of deal

here? Brian, shut up! Shut up!

Brian, are you crazy?

I think it's time for you to leave, sir.

I'll sit around the truck.

In the morning?

Oh, and have a nice day now.

What are we doing down here?

When you yelled at me, Lieutenant, no
one has ever talked that way to me

ever. Look, things are getting a little
out of hand. I liked it.

I'd like for you to yell at me again,
Norm.

What is this, some kind of move?

You stirred something deep inside of me.

Lady, forget about it.

You don't know what you're missing,
Norm.

Early retirement, for starters.

I leave Taylor.

I give him a 95.

You'll make a fine lieutenant.

His answers were vague.

Tentative at best.

He was nervous.

He's got an excellent record.

Agreed. But I don't think this man is
ready for command.

And 95 is way out of line for a
performance here. You're out of line,

Lieutenant. Now, come on, what is it
with you?

I thought you was a big liberal in the
department, huh? I'm here to give fair

evaluations, not be a rubber stamp for
Chief Daniels. General... Oh, yeah,

look, nobody could ever accuse you of
going out of your way to make the

department look good. Now, could they
go... This shouldn't be a political

process. Oh, I get it.

Now that you got your people in, huh,
you want to pull the ladder in after

that it? My people. Cut it out.

Uh, I think Taylor was nervous.

And he was open to suggestions and eager
to learn.

Yeah, he's a nice guy. Since when is
that a criterion for promotion?

Well, if we bypass Taylor, we may just
widen the gap between black and white.

We discourage others from applying who
might think they're not going to get a

fair shake.

So you admit this is a political
process?

I believe Taylor would make a good
lieutenant. I also believe this

lost some credibility, and I think it's
our obligation to give minorities every

break possible, short of violating our
own standards.

And what about our obligations to the
other guys?

Your score, lieutenant?

I think this warrants further
discussion.

As presiding officer of these
proceedings, I'm calling the vote.

80. Frank?

90.

Combined with his written, that should
put Taylor right in line for promotion

this year.

Okay.

David Dunbar.

Clarity and Sergeant Banks. Yeah, we did
it.

This is going to put us over the top for
sure.

The champagne cooling back at the
station.

Okay, that wraps it up.

You were right about Demetrius holding
out on you.

Had 10 grand in cash along with the
dope.

Cheap, like I said.

You did the right thing.

So can I go now?

Yeah, you could go, Lewis.

Fetch. Okay, fetch.

72 % purity.

28 ,240.

We're short?

Ah, we're still short.

1 ,760 lousy dollars. Ah, that's got to
be wrong.

Come on, Wally, we're less than two
grand, all right? Give us a break here,

would you? Much as I would like to.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you save it for your

pointy -headed friends downtown. What is
it, Raymond?

You told me to take Miss Tuttle
anywhere? Yes, right.

We were in the property, Kate, sir, and,
well, she was measuring dimensions, and

I had to move a few boxes out of the
way, and as I did...

I observed her remove a few packages of
evidence behind my back. Drugs?

I'm not sure. I could be mistaken. Out
of my way.

Rapper Sergeant!

Whoa,

that sample case a little heavy, Miss
Tuttle?

Booker.

Frankly, Miss Tuttle, I'm disappointed.

Oh, go to hell.

You think I'd fall for the same trick
again, Lieutenant? I told you. The lady

stole that from our property cage. She's
being booked right now, which makes

that fresh evidence. This cocaine has
already been counted towards your quota.

You're asking me to count the same
evidence twice. It is the same drugs. It

not the same evidence. We are talking
about two totally different crimes for

which that soda happens to be the
property in question.

We did it, we did it.

We've got our overtime paid.

Yet this world is not a fair or kind
place to all.

Captain Farilla is calling, Lieutenant.

Probably to congratulate you,
Lieutenant.

You'd think our tanks were rolling
through the streets of Hanoi.

Some of the men got a little carried
away, Captain, but I think this

was really uncalled for.

No, sir, I never said that.

1 ,400 hours tomorrow?

Captain, I'm not the world's fastest
typist.

All right, the report will be on your
desk.

Line four, Lieutenant.

Lieutenant Bunce.

Hello, Inspector.

She gave us no choice.

I know, sir, but we caught her stealing
dough from our property cage.

It's hard to overlook a felony,
Inspector.

No, we can't. She's already been booked,
and the evidence has been logged and

counted.

Well, that's not the way I saw it.

Yeah, the same for you, Scapezzi.

Belker's bust looks solid.

I just wanted you to know I'm not
looking to overturn based on the

He made a quota.

You know what, Miss Davenport?

I didn't see any courthouses falling
down. I didn't hear any decent citizens

complaining.

That's why the city hires people like
me, Lieutenant.

To keep a lid on people like you.

Good night.

Good night.

You gotta listen to me.

The only way, pal.

We're talking Filoni's destruction of
property, man.

Uh -uh.

That insurance company, they don't know
what condition this bike's in.

All they know is that they recovered it.
You are not thinking straight.

Bobby.

Inside this machine there breathes a
soul.

A soul that I have given life to through
nurturing and care.

People like that insurance maggot, all
they see is dollar signs.

In their hands, this will suffer neglect
and abuse and rut.

I ain't gonna let that happen.

What's wrong with me, Frank?

I take a stand on principle, and here I
am a couple hours later, and you know

what I'm asking myself?

What? I'm asking myself, am I a racist?
To which I know the answer, I think,

which is that I'm not. No argument
there.

Yeah.

I felt the pressure from Daniels, and I
resented it.

Resented being told what to do.

Yes.

Henry, just because you're told to do
something doesn't mean it's the wrong

thing to do.

Earth to Patrick.

What?

I'm sorry, what?

You feel like a movie? I was just going
to go home, make dinner for Fabian. You

can still make the 8 o 'clock. I don't
know, Luce. I don't feel too good.

Okay, I can take a hint.

No, really, really. I don't feel too
hot.

So maybe next week.

Absolutely.

Hey, fellas. Hey, watch this. A couple
of seats right here.

Hey, what's with it?

Lost a friend.

Jack, put another order of onion rings
on my tab.

After all, we're rich, right?

That's right.

Drinks all around.

Everybody.

A toast to Lieutenant Mutz.

Wherever he is.

What's this, Norm?

Drinking alone?

The thrill is going to have my head for
breakfast.

I'm in a jackpot with Scopese.

What the heck am I wasting my breath on
you for?

Innkeeper. Yes, sir?

A double of your 12 -year -old scotch
for this man here.

Coming right up.

Come on, Bill. You've got to look on the
positive side of things.

Today you were a hero with your men.

Here it is.

Thanks.

Oh, wait a minute.

Let me see that 20.

I just want to see you happy, Norm.
