You were with him too often.

the nails and I want a swab.

Sure. Inventory of personal belongings.
We want to be sure that nobody was after

anything special. Come on, Joe. Just
because a girl's lying on the ground

doesn't mean rape was the only motive.

Well, how about pastatas?

Ah, Captain.

How is she?

She worked her over pretty well.

What brings you down here on this frigid
morning, Captain?

I heard you pick up the call on the car
radio.

And he came down to chat?

How nice.

What do you think it was?

Just like the others.

Nurses. Night.

Hospital close by. He found a fertile
field.

Back to the same place adds to his
excitement.

There's no way we can cover this place
with all its entrances and underground

tunnels. The fortification.

I think he's an employee.

At least that's what I'm working on.

Well, the other girls weren't beaten up.

The other girls were raped. Isn't that a
beating, too?

Take it long?

Excuse me, Captain. No time to chat.

Long.

No. You convinced me. You know this rape
scene better than anyone in the area.

You just convinced me again.

You know the M .O .s. You know the
patterns. You know the way these guys

You know how their victims should be
handled.

Captain, you run a homicide unit. I am
not into that scene.

Long.

Suppose Kojak wasn't there.

But he is.

And you are.

And you're into death.

And what I'm into in the sex crime unit,
I can understand. I know why I'm

working there. Downtown wants a woman in
homicide. It came up for you.

Captain, I will not work with that Greek
bowling ball. There.

Long, one word of warning.

Our coffee is one step ahead of suicide.

You're kidding me. You told the
commissioner you'd take all the help you

get and from any place you could get it.
He never listened to me before. Why

should he start now?

Theo. She knows her business and she
knows this case.

Frank, it won't work.

Try.

There's a personality conflict here. And
you know what the rule book says about

that?

Lieutenant Kojak, Detective Long.

Detective Long.

Have I put on my jacket?

And, uh, do you mind if I smoke?

And, uh, look, Joe, I thought you didn't
want any part of me.

Is it too soon to request a transfer?

I'll see you guys.

All right, all right. No, that's all
right. I don't want to smoke. And, uh,

I do like my coffee black. And, okay, if
you and I want a double date with a

couple of broads after work, I'm game.

All right, now, that ends the lady and
men's work jokes, right?

Oh, Stavros, we got a new member of the
team, Kojak.

So I noticed.

And I'm just delighted.

Just think, from now on we'll have to
keep our pants pressed and watch our

language around the squad room from now
on. Well, that just wouldn't hurt.

Yeah, all right, be right over.

Come on, let's go.

Couldn't you just leave me with my
normal garden variety degenerates?

She'll be right at home here at
Manhattan South.

You see, some of our leading degenerates
are right here on the squad.

Including me.

What the hell are you trying to do,
jackpot me, man? People around know you.

They know you around here, you know?
Yeah, okay, so unpopular.

Look, uh, I need some exercise, okay?

Hey, man, I'm a little infected, you
know? Don't worry about it. It'll heal.

What do you say?

Look, uh, I got about an eighth of a
kilo of coke coming in.

I need a cut.

You know, Ringer, there's getting to be
more trouble than it's worth.

Okay, okay.

Look, uh, Flirty, how'd you like to make
some real bread?

Why don't you score me some of that
pharmaceutical coke?

You know, quick flick.

I'll lay $500 an ounce on you, baby.
That's a quick score for both of us.

How's the sound?

600 an ounce sounds better.

Well, there you go.

Now you're a businessman.

There he is.

Better have something to look after that
scratch.

Skin looks inflamed.

Now, you put a gun on it?

No, I didn't.

Did I contact you?

Yeah. Seymour.

Leslie's a friend of mine.

Really? How good a friend?

Oh, we dated for a while, then we broke
off. Nothing heavy.

Been thinking of starting it up again.

Cops and nurses.

It's what you call easy pairing. You
know, go together like cops and robbers.

You know Detective Long?

Seen her around.

Talk to the girl? I tried to, but they
said no until a special police person

came along.

It's easier for a woman to talk to a
woman.

How would you know?

You ever work the street?

Take it easy, Seymour. I'm in the same
job you are.

Yeah, I know. Same payday. Except you
get more in your check than I do. Is

all, Lieutenant?

Tell him to check with Bellevue.

Sorry to keep you waiting, Lieutenant.
We're in a bit of a rush.

I thought you'd, uh...

Want to talk to the chief of security
rather than to me. Well, he's got a nice

gray uniform and a very pleasant
personality, but I want to talk to you,

Sound upset?

Yes. How many women were grabbed on
their way home from the hospital?

Please get reports. I'm asking you how
many happened. I told you, sir. Look at

your records.

Doctor, would you like me to walk up and
down these halls asking people how many

assaults took place from this hospital
that were not reported? You want that

kind of advertising?

Six. Six?

Did you know all of us six that it was
not reported?

Do you realize how difficult it is to
staff a public hospital?

Nobody wants to work the late shifts as
it is. All this sordid business being

known, we'd be operating a parking lot
here.

We're doing our best.

Penan, I want your complete list of
assaults. And I want Nurse Smith's

folder. I told you, I am doing my best.

Wonderful.

Would you like to go inside there and
whisper to the girl in the coma?

She might hear you.

The record room is next to my office.

Leslie Smith, straight kid from
Tarrytown, lived alone, single.

Yeah, how do you know she lived alone?

I checked.

I also checked out her love life.

Officer Seymour was it for a while.

After they split up, she dated here and
there.

There was one guy, average height, dark
hair, very different features.

Apparently, she didn't bother to
introduce him when she was seen with him

time to time.

Who said you don't belong in homicide?

Hey, Lieutenant, the first and final
statement.

I did not choose to be here. I don't
like this.

I don't want to be an experiment.

I don't want to be a crusader. I just
want to do the job I like and go home.

this is not it.

And I know how great it looks in print.

Barriers broken.

Police person stands side by side with
department's number one macho cop, C .O.

Kojak. I mean, why do you think that
they put us together? Because we make a

great dance team?

Can you do this act underwater?

All right, how's this?

I'll stay on this case because it's an
apparent rape. But when it's over, I'm

gone.

Well, how's this?

Until I can arrange you out of here, you
stay here and do your job. Do you

understand? You told me what you feel
about dedication. I told you what I feel

about you. And it's a shorter speech,
but it's clear, isn't it?

Yes.

Yeah.

case, the kid is dead.

Oh, Ms. Law, welcome.

We hope you enjoyed the ride down.

The chauffeur is a little funny behind
the wheel, but he's really all right,

know. Not the best driver in the world,
but he's honest.

Keeps the car clean, as you can see, and
dresses neatly.

For an encore, you can canvas every
building on this block and the two

the corner.

He's really got a mean streak in him.
Once you get to know him, you see how

he can be.

They do that all the time?

Almost always.

Dead bodies lying around, and they go
into a comedy routine?

You know who we're going to find when we
go into this building?

No.

Neither do they.

Could be a killer with a .357 Magnum.

A body chopped up into pieces.

You better get your laughs whenever you
can.

I got things to do.

Yeah? Won't you believe me too?

How long have you been living here?

About a year and a half.

Nice label.

I do the porting, and I make more than a
nurse does.

How long are you people going to be?

I don't know. Nice pictures.

Hello?

Amphetamine?

Or nitrate? Up as down as...

Supers. Big part of the rattle for
breakfast.

You get many visitors, you know, men,
women, whatever?

I don't know, you know, I didn't pay any
attention. This is an apartment house,

not a woman house, you know? Yeah.

Any friends in the building?

Uh, 5B on the fourth floor, Campbell.

5B on the fourth floor? I didn't build a
house, lady, I just keep it clean.

You stick around here, I'll go talk to
5B. Uh, she ain't home.

She's a nice girl with the same
hospital.

Her hours are from 8 to 6, but, uh...

She sometimes goes shopping first, you
know? I thought you didn't know anything

about your tenants.

This one here, she's got some great
body, you know what I mean?

I know what he means.

You know?

I'd better go with him.

Don't worry, he's my pigeon.

Just as long as he delivers.

I told you, Dobrino, he's my pigeon.

Okay?

Four ounces of Manitou.

Manitou? What about the Merc? I got
deliveries tonight.

Hey, you want me to take a look at that
hand?

Talk to me about the Merc. Those fingers
are going to get inflamed.

Look, you want to operate?

You're going to operate after we
complete the deal, okay?

The Merc's here.

But I think we've got to talk about it
some more. Talk? What do you mean, talk?

We already talked. Hey, listen, let me
get some penicillin for that hand.

You trying to stall me? Huh?

I think the Merc's worth another hundred
and us.

I don't like being shook down. I don't
like talking to a guy who's got

on his hands.

Same day the nurse has been worked over.
The same nurse that he gets his stuff

from.

I mean, that could happen to me, you
know?

Okay.

Okay. Okay, I expect delivery.

Later. Later.

Hey, uh, smile.

Like you said, it's business.

But, Lieutenant, the camel girl is off
in two days. She's up playing Snow Bunny

up in the caskets now. I wouldn't mind
going up there after her. Oh, yeah? Why

don't you take the coffee out of Betty
Cash?

When's she coming back?

Tomorrow.

Yeah, a couple.

Could have been me.

Well, I could have had pneumonia, but
I'd phone it off, too.

Oh. Let me get that. Wait a minute.

Yeah, it's just a black skirt with soil
on it. That bit of Costello and Laurel

and Hardy over there when you finish
with your comedy routine.

I've got nothing more to say than that
the, uh, Emmy report shows that the

girl was not raped.

It's the pattern of the others.

Nurse, physical force, and after
midnight.

Yes, but we don't know how far he
intended to go.

No, we don't.

And we can't ask her.

Uh, hey, Lauren.

Be respectful.

Maybe the guy remembered he had another
date.

The girl is dead.

She's beaten to death, and you're gonna
joke.

I think I'll go get some coffee.

I'll buy.

It's my turn.

Uh, Crocker.

Hold it.

Now, look, I want you to run down your
leads on the right path, okay? Make sure

you talk to that cop Seymour about those
drugs she had, and, uh, you help her

with her, huh?

Uh, Lieutenant.

Uh, look, I said give it a couple of
days to see if it's gone somewhere.

You catch up with the Campbell girl,
too, okay?

Now clear the office.

Uh, Long.

Hold on.

Want to close the door?

That's where it's at, Detective Long.

When Crocker's record is better than
mine, then it can gripe about working

me. Hey, look, he's not knocking your
ability.

All he's saying is that he's got to go
out into the street.

And maybe he has to arm wrestle with
somebody.

And he wants to make sure that his other
arm is in total sync.

Well, I don't belong in professional
football either. Why don't you throw

one in?

I hear you're pretty good at taking a
pass.

Hey, Lauren.

What? Be careful, okay?

I think we're into something very, very
heavy.

I didn't feel like walking around with
10 ounces of coke in my pocket. Hey,

is this? And it's done for your hand.

Look, it was always part of our deal
that you put the water stuff out. I

like it in pain.

I'll take it later, okay?

Yeah, listen, I was talking to some
friends of mine, and they said the

price of pure America is 2 ,000 an
ounce.

Where's the stuff, huh? Truth?

What difference does it make, huh?

You got your money out front, no risk to
you, no problem.

You could empty this hospital out before
the dum -dums would know it. Yeah, but

the difference between 2 ,000 and 700 is
a big spread, you know?

Look, I can finish this deal, okay?

I'm committed, and I got people waiting.
50 -50, 1 ,000 an ounce.

Three, four days, maybe.

Okay.

Who the heck of it?

Check his blood type.

I guess the sample's taken from under
the skin of the Smith homicide.

You pulling for long shots now?

If you can think of anything better,
would you let me know?

Don't tell me you have to work these
hours. I have to work these hours, too,

we're both on the city payroll.

So what do you want me to do? I'm giving
you what you want, right? So let me

grind. Okay, okay.

Now, you just keep checking the stuff
and keep calling, okay? And tomorrow

have a party.

We've mentioned everything but band
-aids and toilet paper.

And nothing's missing.

Plenty is missing.

Morphine, among other things.

Oh, really? How much?

Enough to blow this island's mind.

Any ideas?

Who knows? One floor borrows from the
other. Nurses forget to file the slips.

A lot of patients' charts show that they
receive the shots. You go check the

patients. Some are gone. Some are dead.

Some don't count the checks.

Shots they get or don't get.

You sound tired.

Are you kidding?

Four hours in here with a dust of
decades.

And I had plans to do the town.

And on top of that, the fellas here are
into, what will the Equal Rights

Amendment do to the quality of public
toilets? Now, is there anything that you

might like to add?

Yes. COVID -19, that's one thing I want
to see. Okay, sir.

Lieutenant, he's not like us. He sleeps
at night. Do you know what time it is?

Crocker, your partner here is tired.

Why don't you go home, all of you?

I mean, get a lot of sleep.

Now, Crocker, you and Long, go to the
Campbell girl the first thing in the

morning, okay?

It's the first thing in the morning now.

Oh, good.

Then you won't have to wake her up if
she's home.

Oh.

And I don't appreciate the buddying,
miss. You understand?

The grunts and the groans.

The grimaces every time I tell you to do
something.

Now, Lieutenant.

Would you please listen to me?

Your romances may wait for you to
remember them, but I don't intend to

way. And just because I'm a woman on the
job, don't assume that I am even more

dedicated than you are, because I am
not.

Don't say a word you shove, Miss Pig,
because you and I, we're not equal.

All I wanted to tell him was that the
line was busy.

I got... I got home after midnight from
the Catskills and I found your note in

the door, but the body and mind were
worn down.

Skiing can really wipe you out.

Are you any good on the slopes?

Oh, I don't even own a pair of skis.

Yeah. I go in for the action.

Is it good?

I can always get better.

Did Leslie Smith ever join you?

Uh, no.

We worked at the same hospital, but we
did our own thing.

Like ripping off drugs from the
pharmacies?

A minute ago, I liked you.

I saw the chance for the start of
something meaningful.

I'm just trying to get off on the right
foot.

Tell me what you get off on.

You want to see my arm?

Look, honey, I used to be a nurse
myself, and every once in a while, we

walk around giggling at the walls for no
reason.

Okay, so, uh...

A few of us pop a pill just to keep it
together when we get home.

And maybe you pick up a few extras?

You should be so lucky.

Everybody knows you can sell them. Now,
where do you sell yours?

You're as bad as he is.

Only at poker, which we're not playing
now.

So tell us who you deal with.

Maybe Leslie, not me.

A few of the nurses do that sort of
thing.

So do a few cops.

Maybe I should start up a meaningful
relationship with one of them.

Try the restaurant near the hospital.
That's all I know.

Good. You can buy me coffee.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You were never a nurse. Well, she
talked, didn't she? You two believe the

about on -the -job sex between cops?

inventory losses. There are always
inventory losses.

Look at the size of this facility.

Pharmacies everywhere.

Adelaide pharmacies everywhere.

Thousands of staff members authorized to
withdraw everything from straws to

heroin. Doctor, there are enough drugs
missing to whack out all of Brooklyn.

Now don't ask me why that's your
problem. My problem is the fact that 46

of cocaine, that's almost 3 pounds.

missing over the last four months. I'm
sure we can come to some logical

conclusion that isn't earth -shattering.

Well, you're looking for a save -your
-job conclusion.

I'm just interested in a dope peddler
who killed the girl that was supplying

him. What can I do to help?

Well, I don't know yet.

It's nice to know that you're available.

It warms my tired old heart, Doctor.

We stopped off at the lab.

The skin samples from Flaherty did not
match the Smith girl.

Now, what about Campbell?

She gave us a tip on the restaurant
across from the hospital, but she didn't

tell us anything that we already didn't
know, that some nurses do it, but did it

a lot.

All right, you forget about the rape,
please, and just concentrate on the drug

reports, all right?

Meantime, I'll call downtown, get you
your old unit back, and you concentrate

the rapes, okay?

Now, see if you can't score a room that
10 -minute course away from the

restaurant. Am I, uh, through here?

And you were great. Thanks a lot. You
really were. I told them.

Now, I want to set up a plant on that
restaurant, because I think that's the

center of things.

Anytime I call McNeil, I'll see if I
can't get the manpower to keep that room

full. Go ahead. Uh, I'm dumped, right?

Joe, he's killed twice.

So I'll wear old clothes.

I won't look so good, but that's your
loss.

I thought you wanted out.

I do.

The sooner the better, but I'm into this
now. I mean, I'm tuned to it. And there

are women involved.

No offense meant, but they can con you
or they can't con me.

And, look, if this plea doesn't work,
well, then I'll just apologize for the

hassling and I'll ask to stay, okay?

You proved you can handle homicide.

Oh, so I question a nervous nurse?

Hey, listen, I want this guy.

I want to be there when you put him down
for what he did to that poor misguided

girl.

And I want to know that I didn't run
from this.

Who said run?

Come on.

Okay, good, you catch up with Crocker,
all right? And use your talents to charm

the landlord. In the meantime, we'll
talk about the rest later, all right?

Thanks.

You're sure?

How's it going?

How's it going? How's it going?

She's gonna kill herself.

She's gone from blind indifference to
blind eagerness.

I know what you mean.

But I'd cry just as hard if any one of
my other men took a bullet.

I'm sorry, Leo, but now that she wants
to stay, I've got no reason to pull her

unless you give me one. Yeah, what can I
tell you, Frank?

I mean, she'd make a lousy housewife,
and she apparently doesn't want to be a

hooker.

So, uh, I don't think she knows what she
wants.

You're beginning to sound like your man.

She's a cop.

Want to be a cop?

Yeah, blind chauvinist pig.

And because I became a cop, it was
automatically assumed that I was

woman's war.

You know, running around gung -ho,
screaming, let me at those chauvinist

But if all I want to do is a day's work
and a job I like, then I automatically

get a reputation as a traitor to the
women of the world. I mean, it's all a

bunch of bull.

Yeah? So why'd you have to stay on?

You think I did it because all eyes are
on me, right?

I'll tell you what, for whatever reason,
Don't try and be a hero, all right? I

could get shot in the back.

Bobby, I did not choose to run.

I'm not one of the guys. I'm not gung
-ho. I'm me.

Don't ask me what that is. I'm not sure
yet.

Listen, just don't worry.

Listen, did we come here to play cards
or apologize?

Hey, Joe, give me a quick.

Ah, that guy with the hair looks
nervous.

him before.

Oh, yeah.

Looks like the guy in Leslie Smith's
photo.

Girl never forgets pretty face.

Mm -hmm.

There is a wake -up, okay?

I want you to go down to Narcotics.

Stop pulling photographs.

You too. You go along. Keep them from
napping.

They're both of you. See if you can ID
this guy.

If the answer is yes, I want you to pull
this friend.

And try to match him up with Prince from
the drugstore. Make it to a phone call,

stop us, have him get down here also.

Okay.

At the wedding piano. Oh.

Fuck this.

It's mine.

You cheat better than I do.

This guy looks impatient.

What do we do if we stop shooting his
face and decides to take off? And you

him. But let's hope he eats slow.

I'll be downstairs covering him. You and
Joe, you stay here, okay?

Oh, look.

Now that you've developed this...

Respect and admiration for each other.
There'll be no hanky -panky.

What's with you and the lieutenant?

We have a disagreement.

He's getting up.

Yeah.

He just got a phone call.

Oh, he's our man.

The prints match and he's got a drug
sheet.

Where's that army I asked for?

Hit the fan at the office. There are
homicides all over the place.

Savros will join up as soon as he slides
through pre -arrangement.

You got me.

You could have brought coffee. Makes
your hair fall out.

Plant boss.

Go ahead, Joe.

Oh, now it's Joe.

He's talking to a big guy at the table.

Crocker thinks he knows the guy.

It looks like a me.

All right, stay cool, Joe.

It'll fall into place.

What do you want me to call it, Julius?

You got the flu?

Or you got a social disease?

You got the green?

It survived.

Where's the stuff?

It's in an alley. We got a scale in the
car.

Look, I can't stand around while you
investigate.

I want to weigh in, and I want a taste.

Fair enough.

Tell him this is it.

They're leaving together.

All right, drop the plant and take it on
foot. Cover them from the downtown

side. We'll cover uptown.

Heard the lady. Now get up against the
wall.

Are you all right?

Frank! I lost him.

Now, Parker, go call an ambulance.

Take your call.

It's all right.

I was calling my habit dash. I was
ordering a black tie. I thought you were

dead.

Not that I didn't try.

Well, everybody blows their collar every
now and then. Have you a report?

Yeah.

Well, I mean, I blew it. I had a shot,
and I just couldn't do it.

Hey, Jill.

Well, if that ain't the idea to kill, we
wouldn't have got a job.

You know that they wouldn't even look at
me when I came in.

Well, at work, and I just washed it down
the drain.

Mm -hmm.

Here. No, thanks.

Well, we've got the salesman's customer.

Maybe he'll cooperate.

And you say you saw that big scratch on
his head. Right, I did.

Well, do you think he killed the nurse,
or are you just hoping? No.

It's the way I see it.

Okay. I'm glad you're all right.

And I want you to follow through on your
needs and like that.

Listen, how do I handle out there?

The guys?

Live with it. How?

Do I smile and serve coffee?

I'll take mine hot.

Let's face it, I don't belong here. I
don't know what the hell am I trying

I know you said that before.

I mean on the job, the cop.

Well, since you're so fit to invade my
boudoir.

You listen to me, police person, okay?
There's Stavros.

He's fat, and he's slow, and he couldn't
run the 100 -yard dash in 12 minutes

flat. And then there's Crocker, like a
panther, right?

Young, and he's fast, and he cares an
awful lot, and he's got a hot head.

And then there's Saperstein, who
believes in an awful lot of people, and

disappointed an awful lot of times.

And so what can you say about him? He's
in there hanging by his fingernails.

Now, you want me to go through the whole
roster?

No.

Forgive yourself.

Look, I can't see.

Listen, um, here.

You have a minute?

You got a minute, you got a minute. Wait
till I can see.

I blew a marriage.

And at least a dozen possibilities
because of this job. And maybe I feel

the job owes me, but I still want to go
to the finish on this case, okay?

And after that, I don't know.

Hey, Long.

You didn't want to come down to
Manhattan South and I got news for you,

didn't want you, okay?

But because of departmental politics...
public opinion, whatever.

They thought we'd be good for each
other. You know, good public relations.

But I get the feeling that you're trying
to prove something.

And that's one way to get yourself
killed.

Now, I've applied for you to be
transferred out of here. And until that

I want you to use that lovely body of
yours just to follow leads and keep a

profile. Comprende?

Comprende.

Captain McNeil and Chalker have Duprino
in the interrogation room.

Better get in there.

What do I do now?

I don't know, but you better act mad or
they'll never forgive you.

Well, I got the helmet and the lasso.
Now where am I going to go to get the

manure?

How did I know the chick was a cop?

Why don't you go get yourself some
iodine, a little band -aid, some iodine

drops, and maybe you'll be a good
person.

Still fairy tale time.

Looked like a stick -up to me, I swear.
I was just holding a lot of bread, so I

just took off running.

What about the guy in the alley with
you? What did he think she was?

He was going to sell me a watch.

$15 ,000 watch?

I don't like to get caught short of
cash.

Oh, really?

Look, you got four previous arrests,
three for drugs.

We know you've had two previous meetings
with that salesman. As a matter of

fact, we have one on film. Did you know
that?

Detective Long, why don't you tell Mr.
Dabrino what you have on the killer?

I want him to know how tight the cage is
against the slime he's been dealing

with. Oh, well, it's cut and dry.

I mean, it's printed at the seam.

There's a description.

We know she tore his hand up because his
skin is under her nails.

That was Ringer who hit her! I wasn't
there!

I didn't even know her!

Ringer.

I'd rather think it was the two of you.

Cut the frame!

Now look.

You're garbage.

But lucky garbage.

And we want to ring her.

Now sit down.

I told you I don't know him.

If I don't know a guy who got away, you
can't touch me.

We ought to have a bail jumper warrant
tucked up in your folder here. It has

dust on it.

But you must owe some time on it, don't
you think?

That's a known misdemeanor. It won't
hold up.

It'll hold up if we press it. And we'll
shake the files. Who knows what we'll

find. Are you here? Are you there?

You tour like bookends. You squeeze me
from both sides.

Then deal.

Ringer has an insider at the hospital.
He comes up with good loads from time to

time. Clarity?

I try to reach him, but he only deals
directly through Ringer.

I was just a customer.

Ringer has something on him.

What about a nurse named Leslie Smith?

Ringer was hung up on her for a while,
and she started dating some cop, and

Ringer sweated that she might stool on
him.

He's a psycho.

Well, he killed his lover because he was
afraid that she'd hang him. Now, if he

could do that, what do you suppose he'd
do to some guy he was supplying if he

thought that you could hurt him?

So I should talk, huh?

Well, you're already in here.

Go explain to him that you weren't the
reason we grabbed him.

She's worse than you two.

Where's Ringer now?

I don't know, I swear.

Well, he's still holding all that coke.

Now, where will he go to unload it?

I guess you look for guys who can handle
that much.

Why should we look?

We got you.

And you're going to make the buy for us.

Tony, it's me.

I'm in an outside booth. The number I
gave you.

Tell Ringer to call me.

Tell him that I'm clean and we can still
do what we have to.

Long handled the sub well in the
interrogation. Fair.

Leo, I talked to the deputy
commissioner.

They want Long to work out in Manhattan
South.

You remember that young officer, Grady
was his name? Bright, sharp.

No, he didn't belong either.

But he tried until he got knifed in an
alley.

Well, why do you keep her still
involved?

Why don't you have her back answering
the phone in the squad room? She has to

stay through this case.

Well, I really think she could work out.

You're the boss.

Sometimes I think it only says it on my
door just to make me feel good.

I thought they'd all be down on me.

What for?

No one got hurt but you.

Yeah, but I blew the collar after all
that work.

Listen, there are guys who'll never get
used to women working in the street with

them.

These are the same guys that don't like
working with black cops. Black cops

manage. What do you want, special
treatment?

No.

Does it bother you, working with a
different kind of cop?

I told you. You paid your dues.

You know what they call guys who are
immune to females?

Tired.

Is that it?

Relax, relax, relax.

I'll know when it happens.

Yeah. Mike?

Hello, ringer?

You got away.

No, they arrested me. I'm in the
electric chair right now.

Come on, set it up.

Okay, you know that big fountain on 72nd
Street in the park, the one with the

lady with the big wings? What kind of
wings?

Look, Debrino, I haven't got any time
for jokes, and I also won't have any

for weigh -ins where we're going to be,
okay?

Well, I guess I have to trust you.

That's it.

up right here?

No, no.

Men's room up by the bandstand.

You still got the cash?

Same pocket, same amount.

Okay.

I'll go for it.

You set me up!

Stop and bring her free!

All right, hold it right there!

She's hit.

You okay?

Can you walk?

Get the brino.

What am I doing here?

Don't you want to be in on the finish?

Give me your hand.

You know, some women might be okay.

Some police officers, you're nothing
special.

You're a five -foot cop, not a six -foot
cop.

Maybe I better rest.

Hold her up, Neil.

We'll get you to emergency before an
ambulance gets here. You guys have these

shootouts all the time, huh?

All the time.

Boy, I'm sure glad I'm getting out of
Manhattan South.

So are we.

You guys have no lives.

What's a life? Hey, do me a favor, will
you?

Don't call downtown about my transfer
yet, okay?

Oh.

I'll get the car.

If the sex crime unit hears about it,
I'm in trouble.

Anything you say, Detective Long. Okay.
