All language subtitles for Lou Grant s03e01 Cop

Hello, I'm calling from the trip. I'd
like to confirm a call. How much money

involved? Was it over $1 ,000?

Was it over $10 ,000?

Look at that mess.

Well, thanks for the lift, Charlie.

Yeah, you're not sore?

No, no.

The next time the Librarians Association
needs a guest speaker in a hurry. I'm

busy, okay?

Oh, come on. It wasn't as bad as all
that.

No, not that bad.

Come in for a drink, and I'll tell you
this great joke I heard there about the

Dewey Decimal System.

After I clean up the mess that jerky saw
up next door made.

What

was that all

about? The door of that house is open.
Come on. Hey, wait a minute. Lou, what

are you doing?

Looks like something's wrong.

And if something's wrong, we've got to
call the police.

There may not be time. You go call my
checkerhouse.

I'm not letting you go in there alone.
Just hold it loose.

This may be better.

Oh, my God. John.

John.

Who is it?

It's her husband.

I didn't know him well. Just waved to
when he was mowing the lawn or taking

the garbage.

What about the motorcycle rider?

He, uh... I don't know.

Just a guy on a motorcycle.

He was just too fast.

Too dark and too fast.

Could you have seen him around here
before?

I don't know.

Hey, we don't need any patrol guys. Just
let me see Lieutenant McPhee. No, we

have crowd control taken care of. Hey,
Tom, Tom, it's okay. I can call for him.

Dave?

No valuables taken. No forced entry.

This fight must have made some noise.
Nobody heard it.

Suspect escapes on a motorcycle.

The keys are left on the bell, ain't
they? Yeah. Where do you see them? Mr.

Grant saw the suspect leaving.

What kind of motorcycle was it?

Big.

I don't know motorcycles.

That's okay. Were there any special
markings or insignias?

I just saw for two seconds.

We called Mrs. Kinder's brother to come
on over.

Maybe I could take her across to speak
to my house until he comes.

Yeah, that'd be good. Thank you. We'll
call you if we meet you.

Why don't you come on over to my house
now?

I don't think so.

The motorcycle could fit.

How much time did you get to bed for?

I didn't.

I didn't sleep much either.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Every time I closed my eyes, I saw that.
Do beat cuffs get involved in homicide

investigations much?

They might. The case is always assigned
to a detective.

Uh -huh.

About a half hour after you left, a
uniformed policeman came by.

Seen him on his way around. Consulted
with a lieutenant in charge.

That sounds kind of unusual. Was he
young, old?

Young guy.

Sharp. The other detectives didn't seem
pleased he was there either.

A budding Sherlock Holmes, huh?

Maybe the other cops were jealous of
him.

It's not in here.

What?

The story of the murder.

I missed the home edition, but I'm sure
I called it in in time for the mid

-morning deadline.

I gotta talk to the night guy.

There wasn't anything special about this
murder, was there?

Yes, there was.

It happened 100 feet from where I sleep
every night.

I know, something about that makes it
take on a special kind of importance.

Yeah, really creepy.

Charlie, it is kind of interesting. No,
it's only interesting to you. I mean,

there are over 500 murders in Los
Angeles. I'm not talking about the

itself. The cop, the uniformed officer
that came by.

I'd like to know more about him.

Well, Ross, he should be free pretty
soon.

He spent a couple hours on it. Did you
get a name?

Yeah, his name was Tynan.

The supervisor in charge was Lieutenant
McPhee.

Don't push on this, Joe.

Give us a little time.

What makes this case so special?

It's not special. That's what I'm
saying.

It's routine.

You put a big focus on this, you're
going to slow up the process.

I'll let you know just as soon as we got
something.

But you brought Dave Tynan in for
consultation for special help.

Tynan is a beat cop, not a detective.

Wasn't that kind of unusual in itself?

Not if you know, which you couldn't,
that Tynan was the first cop on the

of a murder a few weeks ago in Echo
Park.

I wanted to see if there were any
similarities.

Were there?

No.

Bossy, what'd you find out?

Tynan was murdered because of another
case he'd been on, that's all.

Okay, then come on in like I usually
hear. I can get you the construction

industry series ready to run on Friday.
Wait, you're still here? Yeah.

Is that it?

No. Stop and get a dozen eggs and a
quart of milk.

Yes, that's it. Come in.

Lou?

What?

Something is going on.

Boss, do you want to call up and start
this conversation again? Didn't you just

tell me you didn't get anything?

I didn't get anything. Hard. But your
impression of Tyner was that he was

someone special, like an expert or
something, right? Yeah, but it was late

just found a murder victim. I don't
know.

Yeah, well, something's weird.

Just give me a little more time. Let me
try to find him. Just nod. Yes or no?

Okay, but as soon as you're through, get
back here.

I'll be there before you know it.

Hello? A dozen eggs and a quart of whole
milk, right?

I'm here at the gym almost every day.

How long do you work out?

A couple hours.

Look, do me a favor. Put five on the
side, will you? Sure.

Riding around in a squad car, you build
up a lot of tension.

You're always ready for action, but most
of the time you don't do much but sit

on your can.

So you have to work it out somehow.

You're in a kit in a murder case.

Only because the whole force is on every
case. I haven't been assigned to it.

You were called in last night.

Give me a hand, will you?

Yeah,

I went over there. Lieutenant thought I
could help.

What's so special about this case?

The method of killing.

Most murders are done with guns. Most of
the rest are with knives.

This one was done with fists and blunt
objects. Pretty brutal.

That's it?

I don't know. What do you think is
special?

We get plenty of cases like this.

Well, what was the motive here?

I don't know.

What do you think it was?

It's too early to tell.

Why is everybody acting so cagey?

And I can't get a straight answer on
this case.

My city editor happens to live in the
neighborhood.

Right across the street, as a matter of
fact. And I think he'd appreciate

knowing if he could be the next target.
No, I can't say for sure.

But I really doubt it was a random
intrusion.

So you do know something.

Well, you suspect something, and I have
a right to know what it is. A right?

Yeah. You don't have any such right.

Now, I have a right to tell you what I
want, or not to tell you.

So, you're going to tell me?

I don't care.

Look, the only thing that's special
about this particular murder is that

gay murder.

Yeah.

The victim, your editor's neighbor,
Maxine Kennedy.

He was gay.

Lou Grant will continue in a moment here
on A &E.

A gay murder, talking about the killing
of one gay by another, can get very

brutal. So what are you saying? Gays are
more brutal than other people?

No, but two men are fighting.

Two strong people.

Uh -huh.

Are there a lot of gay murders?

No, they're just some backlog.

They do stay on the books unsolved.

Why is that case not a big priority with
the department?

You're not quoting me on any of this.
That's right.

Use your head.

You know the political pressures the
department operates under.

Assume the ready position.

The murder of a gay doesn't get the same
attention as the murder of a straight.

No, it's not only that.

People who are gay can be private.

It's hard to find witnesses.

If you do, then it's hard to get them to
testify.

They'd rather be silent about a crime
that's been committed than have to admit

publicly that they were gay. And you've
had a lot of experience with this kind

of crime.

Well, in my division, there are gay
neighborhoods, gay hangouts. You're

run across this way.

You through? It's time to go.

Time to go crush some crap.

See you around, Larson.

was gay?

John Kidner was gay?

They were this nice couple, moved in a
neighborhood pretty soon after I did.

Late 30s, friendly.

John Kidner was gay.

That's what the cops are saying.

He must have been living two lives. I'm
sure she had no idea.

I know I had no idea.

I guess that's why the cops wouldn't
tell us much.

No, no, they're not real open about the
subject of gays. Not real sympathetic

either.

The feeling I got from Tynan was that
crimes against gays are not exactly

highest priority in the department.

Does that surprise you?

Well, the amount of hostility surprised
me.

Tynan seems really tough on gays. I
don't know how department -wide that

is.

Yeah. If it's just the rank and file, it
doesn't go higher.

Lou, there's a big fire in Hollywood. I
think we ought to send somebody. The

beach says there may be several deaths.

Who are we here?

Animal and Billy should be on their way
back from UCLA.

Hey,

Billy!

The guy saw him off the whole thing.
Sure, I mean, that's my magic shop off

street there. I sent in the alarm.

When was that?

As soon as I saw it. I mean, at first
you can't believe it. Like, is this for

real? But I saw smoke, I saw flames.

It went just like that, you know? People
were coming out, coughing.

I heard some people didn't make it out.
That's what the firemen told me. A lot

of people?

Except for five.

Boy. Well, he always did a business.

It was a bar, right?

Yeah.

Was it just a bar or did it have a
restaurant or some kind of entertainment

something? It was just a bar, you know.
I mean, a bar.

What kind of bar is so crowded in the
middle of the afternoon?

Yeah, well, you know.

No, I don't know.

Well, it was, uh...

It had what you want to call a
homosexual ambience.

It's very nice of you to come over.

I've only been home a couple of hours.

The first few days after it happened, I
couldn't even imagine coming back here.

I was with my brother.

But then I got thinking about what a
mess the house was, and I just got this

idea I should come back and clean up.

Oh, could I get you something? Like a
drink or something? I don't even know

we have here.

No, thanks. Really.

I haven't even looked in the
refrigerator.

I guess after four days, a lot of things
are spoiled.

I suppose so.

I don't know. It's funny thinking about
what's in the refrigerator.

I mean, of course everything's still
there.

I understand.

I mean, you'd never think about anyone
having to clean things up when you hear

about something like this happening to
someone. You just assume that the police

do it or that they get someone to do it
or, I don't know, it just gets done

somehow.

Well, if that's not the way it works,
you clean it up yourself.

We could always get somebody to handle
those things for you, Mrs.

Kempner. Oh, thank you very much. That's
very nice.

But my brother has helped.

And if it's still my house, I'd have to
come back here eventually.

Yeah, I guess so.

You can't imagine the mess.

Well, of course you can. You're here.
But, uh, I don't know, somehow in the

daylight it's, uh...

Anything I touch, I wonder if he touched
it.

I mean, the man who killed you.

Maybe it would be better if you didn't
stay here.

Yeah, well, that's what my brother says,
but I can't stay with him.

This is our house.

I don't know how well you knew John.

Oh, well, we waved at each other when he
was out mowing the lawn.

Looked like a very nice person.

He was.

He's not a very happy person.

I just wish I knew why I couldn't make
him happy.

I mean, I just wish we could have talked
out whatever it was that was bothering

him.

Tell me, why aren't the police doing
anything? Why haven't they found the man

who killed my husband? Why don't they do
more?

I'm sure they will.

Do you know that?

Well, I can't swear to it.

Do you know that I haven't heard from
them since the night it happened?

Nobody calls.

I mean, I don't know who should call,
the governor or the mayor.

Oh, I know I'm not making any sense.
It's just that I don't understand it.

Just tell me what's happening or what
they think is happening.

Why was my husband killed?

There's no robbery. There's no one broke
in.

Was it a Manson thing? What was this?

I just want something done, and I know
you can't do anything.

Well, when a newspaper shows an interest
in a case like

this, that's something.

The police do have to respond to that.

Yes, yes, sure.

Lou Grant will continue in a moment here
on A &E.

Okay, halftime.

Come on, look, I want everybody to get
your oranges.

And don't throw the peels on the ground.
Put them back in the bag. Come on, take

off.

No golf. Don't worry about it. Go on.

Tough team.

Yeah, real contended.

The department sponsors this?

No, I just ran across this leak through
some people at the Y.

When I tell you he's off, I'd like to do
it.

Look, you want an orange? We always have
tons left over.

Thanks. All right, everybody line up for
kicking joke. Come on, take off.

There.

You didn't come here to watch a game.

No, I want to know about the Kinder
case.

I already talked to your reporter. I
told him everything we had.

That was three days ago. What do you
have since then?

Not much.

Shouldn't the department be making more
progress?

I'm a dean and the department...

You want everything possible on this
investigation?

Yeah, I really think they are.

Everything but the real long shot.

What's a long shot?

I think I'm probably a lousy subject for
hypnotism.

You want a beer? Sure.

This isn't hypnotism. It's just a method
of recall developed by a psychologist.

The department sponsored a seminar with
her for those of us who were interested.

That'll really work.

Yeah. You got a good look at that
motorcycle.

Better than you think.

And your mind recorded it.

The idea that that information is still
in your mind somewhere. On file.

We have to open that file.

Look under M for motorcycle.

Think back to that night.

Where had you been?

I've been trying to forget that.

I was a pitch -hit speaker at a
convention of librarians.

We had creamed chicken, overcooked
broccoli, and spumoni ice cream for

Good, good.

What time did you start to eat?

What do you mean? You mean when I
started to eat? Mm -hmm.

Come on, I can't remember that. No way.
Did you pick up the fork with your left

hand or right?

I guess I used my right hand. What did
you eat first?

Oh, come on, Dave. I don't know.

What are you doing?

Picking up a knife to butter a roll.

Why?

Why I ate a roll? You didn't see the
chicken.

I was hungry.

Dinner was late.

I remember some woman telling me a joke
about the Dewey Decimal System.

And I peeked at my watch.

What does it say?

924.

Good. So you started eating at 924
exactly.

Yeah.

Okay. What did you say to the woman?

I... Then I'm outside the car.

I hear this motorcycle.

Loud. Where's the motorcycle?

Coming toward me.

Is the driver wearing a helmet?

I have no idea. I don't know.

Wait a minute.

There's a headband on.

I couldn't see that if he had a helmet.

Where's he now?

Coming at me.

I jump out of the way.

I feel the wind as he rushes back.

Is he white, black, Chicano?

White. And a pasty face.

The headband.

It's red.

Gray. So you're watching him go?

Yes.

What do you see?

It has an insignia on the back.

of the license tell me what you see the
license number

today it's

too dark i'm sorry it's okay go back to
the insignia i don't know what it is

what does it look like well it uh

for these three points

I can draw it.

Go ahead.

I don't like this.

I don't know. Not much of anything.

Yes, it is.

I've seen it.

It's a coronet. It's the way they make
it in a motorcycle club called the

Coronets.

Motorcycle club?

Yeah.

Gay?

Yeah, of course.

Bunch of fruits that live in Eagle Rock.

Screamers in leather jackets and chains.

Do all cops feel like you do about gays?

I doubt it.

Dave, why were you called in on this
case the night of the murder?

One of the supervisors thought I could
help.

Because you know a lot about gay crimes.

Yeah. About gay behavior.

You could say that.

Look, I think we've made some progress
here. Dave, were you called in on this

case because you have special knowledge?

Because you are gay?

If this gets out, I'm through.

will continue in a moment here on A &E.

Oh, boy.

The fire doesn't get the water ruins.

Look at that cash register.

There's an antique.

Are you one of the owners of the bar?
Yeah, that's my bar.

I'm the major partner.

You manage it, too?

Yeah, yeah. I'm here every day. I was.

Were you here when the fire broke out?

Uh, but this is one of those bars where
you knew most of the customers.

Yeah, sure, some. Sure, I had my
regulars. Could you tell me about some

people who were caught in the fire?

What for?

Five people were killed here.

Thanks. Just thanks for reminding me.

Look, I know what you want to do.

You just want to paint a picture of a
bunch of Nellies running around,

all over each other, hysterical.

No, not at all. I just want some facts
for my story. The police have not yet

released a list of the victims, and I
was just hoping you could help me with

that. lady.

My doctor's got me on Valium.

I haven't eaten yet.

I don't need the sacrivation now.

Look, it's just customary. You're
pushing me.

I don't want to tell you any names.

Those names come out.

A lot of people could get hurt.

You work on a lot of bikes for a
motorcycle club called the Cornette?

work for one boy, he tells the others.

I do good work.

What are the names of the coronets who
bring their bikes here?

Isn't there some law about
confidentiality?

Between a person and his mechanic?

Okay, I was just asking.

I want to do what's right.

This boy, this guy, and this guy.

Where do they hang out?

I don't socialize with them.

Danny, it's either the Brasilia or
Sundays or the White Night.

Now, you've heard them talking. You live
in the area. Which one is it?

Well, now that I hear you say it, Sunday
sounds familiar.

Sunday.

Thanks.

Hey, these are good boys, not health
angels.

They just like motorcycles and leather
jackets and all that stuff.

Good interview technique.

And that's praise from Caesar.

Frosty, don't be so self -abasing.

Danny wanted to talk to us. He obviously
knows the Coronets well.

Good guys. Did you hear that?

Good guys.

Fags.

Okay, Frank. Thanks.

Oh, sure. Next time I'm in the area.

Yeah, buh -bye.

Your friend down at the morgue just
invited me to stop by for coffee.

Yuck. Yeah, I know.

Coffee down there is always cold.

Well, I finally got a list of the
victims of the bar fire.

Let's see.

This guy was a minister.

This guy was a captain in the army. And
this was a lawyer.

Regis.

Why does that sound familiar?

Gary Michael Regis, son of Jordan Regis,
the big philanthropist.

Interesting. Mick, sounds like a classy
play.

Maybe.

Wait a minute.

Isn't this in Hollywood in a rundown
section?

Yeah.

It was also gay.

I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. Print
this list and you brand every one of

these men as homosexual.

We've never failed to print a list of
victims in a case like this. Yes, Mr.

Grant. That's why I hate it.

Now, what are we going to do? If we
print the names, we'd just be printing

facts.

A bar burned down.

These men died in the fire.

We're not telling people what to think.

No, but we know exactly what they will
think.

It was a gay bar, Mr. Grant, and
everyone is going to assume those men

That's a fair assumption.

If there's a fire at a basketball game,
everyone would assume that the victims

were basketball fans.

There's not exactly a social stigma
attached to liking basketball.

Come on.

We'd be labeling these dead men as gay.

And they couldn't answer the charge.

Of course.

All these men had family and friends
that could be hurt by this disclosure.

But how can a newspaper not print the
truth just because the truth is painful?

Come on, come on, come on. Don't throw
truth at us. I could think of a lot of

reasons why someone can go into that bar
and none of those reasons have anything

to do with his sexual preference.

I hate this.

If this were a fire that cost five lives
in any other business, we wouldn't

think twice about printing it.

These men made a choice, and that choice
carried with it a certain risk, and

they knew that risk.

I'm really sorry it happened this way,
but we've still got a responsibility.

If the newspaper doesn't print the names
this time, how can the public know that

we're not withholding other information
from them in the future?

They can't.

So we run the list.

I'm afraid so.

Hey, Dave, how's it going?

Just thought I'd let you know I think
we're getting somewhere in the Kinder

murder. Oh, that's good.

You were a real help.

We may have a lead on a suspect.

Great. Hey, look, I was just finishing
up. Let me buy you a drink.

I'd like to. I'm going to take a rain
check.

Anyway, thanks for your help.

Don't be silly.

Look, Wu, what we talked about the other
day, about my personal life, you

haven't mentioned it to anybody.

No, of course not.

Good.

Because I wanted you to know that it
isn't just that the department can't

Nobody can know.

Because it could get back in the
department.

I understand.

Don't worry.

Okay.

I figured you'd understand.

Do you have to do this every time
someone finds out?

Come after them? Double check?

People don't find out.

Almost never. I had to tell Lieutenant
McPhee once.

So far, he's been cool.

Well, if McPhee's been okay about it...
Believe me, I know cops, Lou.

I know people.

I don't want this coming out.

I hate the lying more than you can
imagine.

Sometimes I just want to tell the people
I work with. Just say it.

Maybe that time will... No, look, just
don't tell anyone.

Who am I going to tell?

Whoever, please.

I won't.

Okay.

I didn't know Kinder that well. Tony, we
know Kinder was gay.

What's that got to do with me?

Don't play games, Tony. We know you're
gay, too. No, what's that supposed to

mean? You know, just because a guy is
gay doesn't mean he's a murderer. You

know, I got my right to run... Hey,
Tony.

Ease up, huh?

Look, we know about you and Kinder. We
just want to hear what you can tell us.

What do you know? You don't know
anything.

All right, Ace.

slept with Kintner the night of the
murder, but it was the first time.

I don't want to be shocked, Tony. I'm
telling you what it was.

We were told Kintner was having a longer
affair.

Well, it was with somebody else. Who
else?

Look, Tony, you're looking at an
accessory rack.

You're looking at a court case and a
trial.

You're looking at a lot of publicity.

What's there?

What? Come on, what?

Russ Barrow.

Okay, where do we find Russ Barrow?

I don't know.

Tony.

Unless it's over at the Sixers. It's a
bar in Silver Lake.

We talked to a mechanic who put us on at
his bar.

From there, we got to John Kintner's
lover.

One of them.

We pushed him pretty hard, and he came
up with the name of the suspect.

We, Rossi?

We got a suspect?

Just a manner of speaking.

Oh, I see.

What's happening now?

We're about to take a code seven.

Rossi, why don't we come in and do some
writing?

Or did you want to hand out some traffic
tickets, too?

So, are we bringing McPhena?

Why, it's our bus. We're doing the work.

If it's his case, we got something.

We don't know what we have.

Look, let's run it up one more step
before we get McPhena.

Okay, by me?

You really sleuthed this one out.

We got lucky.

I wouldn't call it luck. You knew just
where to go.

Instinct. I've been a cop longer than
you. I don't have that instinct.

Some's got it and some ain't.

Stick with me, son. You may pick up a
few pointers.

It's code seven time. Where are we going
to eat?

We haven't done Mexican yet.

What is it with you cops?

City full of great restaurants, and all
you do is eat at taco stands and

hamburger joints and donut shops.

So where are we going, Scandia?

No, actually, I'm in the mood for a good
burrito.

Oh, would you look at that.

California living.

The vitamins they all take out here.

What do you think, dancer?

Hmm, do it.

Now, violates FAA rules.

Turn sideways is unbalanced as plain.

Oh, I'm in love.

I'll take her for my code seven.

Not too bad. Not my type.

I don't know what your type is.

Oh, you haven't met Jennifer yet, have
you?

Look, next time she's in town, we'll all
go out for a movie or something.

Or I'll call and she'll be called away
on business.

We're really sorry about that. The kid's
ambitious.

I keep telling her to slow down.

Is that what you tell her?

Yeah.

Was that your type?

That one there, the brunette.

Are none of these girls your type?

On this block?

This city.

This world.

You just not go for girls at all.

Lou Grant will continue in a moment.

Year on A &E.

Hi, Bob. Where's Dave?

I haven't seen him today.

Where were we meeting him? Back at the
division?

Should be there. What do you think your
transfer came through?

I don't know.

Why the transfer? From what I saw, you
two were a pretty good team.

It's time for a change.

Why?

Things have changed.

What? What's changed?

Personal.

Yeah, well, I've known a lot of cops.

Importants don't usually break up when
they're closing out on a bust.

Doesn't have anything to do with that.

And what are we talking about here?

We're not talking about anything.

You know, you're acting a little weird.

Do you know what it's like to be let
down by someone you thought you could

trust?

Trying to let you down? What did he do?

He didn't do anything.

Well, is he not working on a case?

Sure he is.

Then what is it?

Look, Rossi, you saw the same things I
saw. Tynan's called in as a consultant

this fag murder case.

He's got all this fag special knowledge.
He's a single guy, never dates girls.

What, I have to draw you a picture?

I'm not sure the things you listed can
really justify your suspicions.

They aren't just suspicions.

I see.

Who else knows?

I figure McPhee must know something, but
he isn't going to be telling anyone.

And you?

Look, it just happened to me. I don't
know.

Well, what do you mean it happened to
you?

Look, I love this police force.

I don't think you can understand that.

But I got a wife and kids.

I got friends who respect me, who
respect cops, who respect the force.

How am I going to tell them that the cop
I work with is gay?

Don't you think they deserve better than
that? I think they deserve good cops.

I've dealt with a lot of gays since I've
been in law enforcement.

Now, Rossi, let me tell you, they're
emotionally unstable people.

I don't care if they go off and do
whatever it is they do, but they can't

cops. Now, how does a cop know he can
count on his partner in a crisis if he's

homosexual?

Dave Tannen seems like a pretty reliable
guy to me.

And you don't have to depend on them to
protect your life.

Another coffee, please.

I love being a cop, Lou.

The greatest satisfaction I have is
doing good police work.

And your private life?

What private life?

Mostly I'm a monk.

I don't see people romantically, so I
avoid the issue.

Great solution, huh?

No. Of course, when I do see people, I
avoid a long -term relationship because

I'd have to lie.

Because I got to know someone, he got to
know me.

I couldn't keep up that lie. I wouldn't
want to.

And then, uh... What?

I couldn't tell a lover I was a cop.

What if somewhere down the line we had a
falling out, and he got sore and

decided to call the department and say,
Hey, guys, guess what?

But if a married man has a mistress and
she calls his employer... Do you really

think his behalf is bad?

Look, Will, let me tell you something
about cops.

I once busted a guy for drunk driving.

It turns out he owned a pizza joint
where guys on the force used to go get

pizza.

So my sergeant and the other guys wanted
me to fix the breath test for their

buddy. I said, no, I made a good bust
and I won't change it.

So the next day I got into a very
intense crowd control situation and I

for backup.

I never got it.

I could have been killed.

So just how much backup do you think I
could get if all of the other officers

knew I was gay?

Are you going to tell me that today the
cops... Look, Lou, today cops hate gays

and gays hate cops and the public isn't
crazy about cops or gays.

You know, I asked you not to tell
anyone.

I didn't.

I did.

Who?

My partner.

Well?

I don't know.

Dave, you've just got to remember that
you're as good a cop as he is.

I'm a better cop than he is.

I'm as good or better than any officer
on the force.

Someday they're going to know it.

What does that mean?

That's what I said.

Right now all you should be worrying
about is taking care of yourself.

Just do your job.

Right.

Have Sparrow been around lately?

15 in pursuit of a 187 suspect driving a
white motorcycle northbound on Udell

from Hyperia.

I'm on the right. Watch across me. Blue
car left.

We'll either catch him or kill himself,
one or the other. Don't put too much

now. We're going to get back up. If I
get close enough, I think I might be

to tap him.

You're gay.

This guy is good on the bike.

He may try that alley. Look out. Now
wait. Watch for him.

Okay.

How you doing?

You know how they tell you to be in too
much shock to feel the pain?

Yeah. It's not true.

I'm sorry.

Don't worry about it.

You've been with me long enough to know
that I'm not the kind of a guy who

thinks he's wrong very often.

What I want to say is... I was wrong.

It's okay.

Must have been kind of rough for you.

Kind of. But look, if I can learn, a guy
like me, those other guys... No.

Oh, hey, Dave, really, Nick, it doesn't
have to be like this.

Those guys I'll understand, most of
them, anyhow.

No. I'll back you up.

I'll take them on if I have to.

It's you and me. You don't understand.

Just lay off it.

Don't say anything.

You don't understand.

Why'd you have to shoot that?

I've been reading it.

How's Tynan?

I just checked with the hospital. He's
out of surgery and stable.

That's good.

Listen, there's something I didn't put
in the piece, because I'm not sure it's

part of the story. It's about... It's a
human angle, about Tynan's personal

life.

Yeah, I know.

You do?

Yeah.

i think you're right i don't think it
belongs in the story we'll run it like

this

He was a real cowboy and a romantic cult
hero.
