Mmm.

You like it?

Oh, you've outdone yourself today, baby.

Well, wait till you see what I have for dinner.

Oh, I'm salivating already.

Now, you know, a brother could get used to this kind of treatment.

I'm just making up for all those years of us running in six different

in one.

Nothing ever got done right around here.

Now, come on, tell me the truth.

After a week off work, you don't find yourself getting just a little bit

Maybe just a little.

But you know, taking care of you has its own rewards, right?

My eggs are good, huh?

Let the machine take you.

Come on, baby. Let me just see who it is.

Hello?

Hi, Captain.

Now?

Yeah, okay. I'll be right in.

She wants to talk about the internal affairs investigation.

It can't be good.

Not necessarily.

Well, don't you think if it was good news, she would have just said it over

phone if I was being cleared?

Look, we'll deal with whatever comes down, Angie.

If they say that that man died because of my chokehold, I will never be able to

deal with that.

That was quick.

Sam, pop us over to VW State.

So, uh, that's a report back.

And? Well, some questions remain regarding application of the restraint.

medical examiner finds the cause of death to be the suspect's pre -existing

medical condition. And as such, this death cannot be imputed to inspectory's

actions.

I've been cleared.

Completely exonerated. As far as the department's concerned, the file's

Thank God.

So. Ready to come back to work?

Do you still want me back? Of course not, won't you?

And she probably wouldn't want me to say this, but I think Sadie misses you.

Really? Of course you don't have to jump right in, you know, take a few days

off, enjoy your vindication.

No, Captain, I've spent enough hours in the gym. I'm ready to come back to work.

Great. That's what I wanted to hear.

Of course, there is the civil suit pending.

I haven't forgotten.

And despite what I .A. said, it's not going to go away.

You could be held personally responsible, not for the whole $80

course, but, you know.

Yeah, I know.

Daniel and I have already spoken to a lawyer.

But for right now, I just want to get that out of my mind and get back to

Well, the city attorney's office wants to speak with you later today.

It's your call, of course.

You can cooperate or not.

What would you do?

Me, personally?

I'd want to have these guys on my side.

But that doesn't necessarily mean they're going to have your best

heart.

Okay.

Thanks. Sure.

He's here.

Oh, thank God. Come on, hurry up.

Let me see.

I'm going to look so handsome for your school pictures. Look at me. Do I have

wear this shirt? Benjamin, your shirt is fine.

Okay?

Sorry I'm late.

Trap. Yeah, well, if you would have had a cell phone, you could have called.

I know, I know, I know. But those damn things, they never leave you alone.

You have no space.

No space. What a hardship for you, Gabriel.

Okay, all right, I'll get myself one already. And you will be the first one

my number.

All right, let's see, let's see.

Ready for your picture?

I guess.

He doesn't like the shirt I picked out.

Well, it's not so bad.

It sucks.

Benjamin.

Well, it does.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Your mother's right.

You shouldn't be talking like that.

Sorry. But I still hate this shirt.

Well, maybe we can do something about that.

I was passing by this funky little shop yesterday, and I thought this might work

for him.

If you don't mind.

Go ahead.

Hey, hey, hey. Cool.

All right. Can I wear it today, Mom?

Please? Yeah, just hurry up and go get changed. Come on. Let them go.

I'll help you with the tags, all right?

Thanks for letting this happen.

Hey, you're back. I'm back.

Looks like you're very popular around here.

Hey, Stevie.

Yeah, I wasn't expecting that.

Any second thoughts?

Not yet.

Good. Because I need to know that I have all of you back.

The kick -ass, take -no -prisoners version.

Anything less and we need to talk.

You got it.

You guys ready to roll?

We got a woman shot.

Near Chinatown?

Hello, Milton.

He's being treated for superficial wounds. Witness filed the whole thing

across the street.

Shooter approached from behind, pulled out a small caliber weapon, started

firing.

General description, white male, 20 -star, medium build.

Maybe you can do better when you talk to the victim.

I really don't remember much at all.

I know this must be very difficult for you, but we can't find out who did this

unless you tell us what happened.

I was on my way to work.

I had only walked a couple of blocks when I noticed this man following me.

Had you seen the man before?

I don't think so.

Did you get a good look at him?

Not really.

Can you describe him?

That would be difficult.

So, what can you tell us?

Nothing.

And the next thing that I remember...

It's the noise and the burning sensation in my arm. Can you think of anybody who

might have wanted to hurt you?

No. Nobody in the neighborhood you might have made angry?

Not that I can think of.

I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry I can't be of more help, but I just don't have any more information to

offer.

Well, it's...

Policy to notify owners when we've recovered their stolen goods.

No.

Sir, are you sure? Because I have it right here. I mean, it... You want me to

give it to Salvation Army?

No, I... Yeah, I guess that's fine.

You know what? I'm still going to need you to sign a release.

Oh. Yeah, I can mail it to you.

No. Thank you for your time.

I hate this detail.

Not so bad. Just think about all the happy citizens we'll get to meet. Yeah,

well, not me.

I mean, this guy doesn't want his DVD player back because now he says it's out

of date.

Oh, God. You having better luck?

I just spoke to Gabriel.

He was reporting in.

He just read to Ben's class.

Hmm.

So Ben has known his father, what, 26 days? 26 days. Mm -hmm.

Well, if the wandering musician is still around, he must be turning out to be a

pretty good dad.

I guess.

You know what?

He sure made your life a hell of a lot easier. Oh, for now.

We'll see how long that lasts.

Here you go, Inspector.

Thank you so much.

Did you get in touch with that shooting victim's employer?

Yeah, I spoke to her boss.

Apparently she works at a small law firm.

She's a clerk.

Does she get along with everybody there?

They tend to seem to love her there. I mean, her ex -employer is far more

interesting, though. She worked in a prison laundry, and she wasn't there by

choice. What prison?

Central California.

That is the maximum security.

What was she in for?

I haven't found that out yet, but I did find out her real name. It's Helen

Markham.

Helen Markham? Only Helen Markham I know of was in prison for murder. She got

out, what, two years ago, right? God, that's got to be 30 years ago.

She and her boyfriend just blasted their way across the state, robbing

everything in their path.

It was big.

It was all over the news. I was in school.

I thought it was exciting, you know.

We were like Connie and Clyde.

Until they got here and started killing people, and then suddenly it wasn't so

romantic anymore.

Yeah. Cold -blooded murder tends to have that effect.

You are here.

Hey.

Did you get my messages? I must have called you like six times.

Yeah, you know what? I'm sorry. I meant to call you back. I got really busy.

Oh, you can't be that busy.

Yeah, well, tell that to my captain. He's threatening to write me up if I

finish these witness statements by tomorrow.

All right, fine, fine, fine, fine.

At least we're talking now.

What is it?

That's it? This is... What?

You want to talk?

Yeah.

Look, we need to go away.

Someplace quiet where we can just be ourselves and get to the bottom of

Look, you know who I am, okay? You know who my family is.

Why the hell do you even want to be with me at all? Because I love you.

Look, look, we should go away this weekend, okay?

Yeah, but this weekend is... Yeah, why not?

We'll go up to Napa.

I'm pretty sure I can get us a room and we'll leave Friday morning. We'll come

back first thing Monday.

Hey, I'm making you an offer you can't refuse.

Huh?

Didn't take long for you to figure me out.

Or the local press.

Apparently I made the 11 o 'clock news last night.

Why didn't you tell us who you were?

I don't usually introduce myself as a convicted murderer.

You wasted our time.

I was shot.

If anyone has a right to be angry, hear.

And you know what happened to me this morning? I went to the coffee shop where

have breakfast every day. I'm very friendly with the owners.

Now, I am not welcome there.

We're still going to need to ask you some questions about your past.

What does 30 years ago have to do with what happened?

Let me just put this as delicately as I can. Who you were, the horrible crime

that you committed, may very well have been why you got shot.

How? I've only been in San Francisco six months under a different name. I didn't

exactly advertise my return.

People have a way of finding these things out.

Victims' rights groups track ex -convicts' comings and goings. And

your notoriety, you could attract attention from all sorts of unusual

And since you haven't given us another reason, we're thinking revenge might

been a motive.

Well, I might as well be back in prison.

It's just a possibility.

Look, I know you haven't lied to us, but you haven't exactly been honest either.

I hope you understand why.

The victim's family, do they know that you're back?

How should I know?

They are obviously.

I can't believe she's back, living less than a mile from here.

You would think she'd at least show some sensitivity to us. Did you know that

Helen Markham had moved back to San Francisco?

No, I heard it on the news, like everybody else.

So is this where it happened? Is this where the crime took place?

I was ten years old.

I'd just gotten back from school.

I was in the back room working on math homework fractions.

It's funny, the little details you remember.

They came in.

Helen Markfield and her boyfriend started shouting about the cash

heard my father say they could have whatever they wanted. He begged them to

the money and go.

But they didn't care.

They shot all three of them.

So there were three victims.

The third was my brother -to -be.

My mother was six months pregnant.

We were going to call him Samuel.

I gave my son the name instead.

And now she gets to move back here and rub her noses in it.

You must be incredibly resentful.

You don't think I had something to do with going after her?

It's our job to ask.

I'm the victim here. Don't forget that.

Is that your son?

Yeah.

That's Sammy.

Can you tell us where he was yesterday morning around 10 o 'clock?

Now you think he was involved?

We're going to find out where he was one way or another.

He was making a delivery for me on the other side of town.

I can get you the receipt if you want.

I appreciate that.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

But I would like it very much if you would go.

Now.

Thank you.

Inspector Reed, I'm Rick Turner.

I haven't had a chance to reach my POA rep. Shouldn't he be here with me?

Well, that's certainly your prerogative, but this meeting is really just

preliminary. Making sure that we got our facts straight, getting on the same

page strategy -wise, that kind of thing.

Okay.

We had our risk enough people analyze your file.

They feel significant exposure for both the city and you personally is a

potential outcome.

But I've already been cleared by Internal Affairs. The facts haven't

What you did in that apartment is only part of what a jury will hear. They'll

also be allowed to consider who you are.

What do you mean, who I am?

How you got your current position.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong.

But, uh, didn't you take a relatively fast track from a desk job at the

office? I followed the rules, Mr. Turner.

But not everyone with your qualifications jumped straight to

What qualifications?

Do we really need to belabor this?

Yes, we do.

Okay, fine.

Your gender for one thing, the color of your skin for another.

You think I was promoted just because I'm a black female?

What I think is irrelevant.

We're only concerned with how a jury might see this.

What exactly are you saying?

I'm saying that the plaintiffs are going to try to prove that the department

made a colossal mistake in promoting you.

Now, they won't say that explicitly, but they will make sure that a jury thinks

that this terrible death wouldn't have happened if we hadn't put an

inexperienced black woman in a place that she didn't belong.

What happened in that apartment was not my fault.

We are not here to debate this.

Then why are we here?

To be honest, the city would like to settle this thing now.

They feel the planners would be amenable to a relatively inexpensive offer.

What else?

As part of our offer, we would also like for you to resign from the department.

You want me to take the heat for that?

Not without offering something very valuable in return.

We are willing to indemnify you from any and all personal liability, which could

be in the millions.

I'll get back to you.

How'd it go at the city attorney's office?

You don't even want him. Please, those people are jerks. Don't let them get to

you.

They're trying to blame this whole damn thing on me, saying that I should have

been here in the first place.

Well, if you want, I will stand up and tell the world differently. Amen.

Thank you, guys. I appreciate that.

I heard from Rick Turner.

You all right?

Let's just say I won't be having a guy over for dinner. Oh, please. He's an

idiot, Captain.

He's the city attorney. What do you want?

Captain, this is Jim. Thanks for lunch, Jim.

Somebody broke into Helen Markham's apartment.

Trashed the place.

What was she expecting, a walking wagon?

I spoke to the warden at the women's facility. She looked like an enemy she

I'm thinking that revenge is coming from another angle.

That woman gives me the creeps. I'm surprised she has any friends at all.

be surprised.

According to the warden, she was practically beloved by the staff, the

inmates, literacy programs, inmate counseling, conflict mediation. You name

Helen Markham was involved.

Well, that does surprise me, and it still doesn't change the way I feel

her. Me either.

And she's probably not safe in her apartment.

Well, I could set up a protective detail.

Any volunteers?

We'll go talk to them.

Where would I go?

Do you have friends or family that you could stay with?

No.

The ones that I did have wrote me off years ago, so...

It's pretty much just me.

Well, we need to find you someplace else to stay.

Why? Why? Because it's obviously not safe here.

No, I mean, why do you care what happens to me? I probably discussed you. I know

I discussed them.

There is no excuse for what I did.

I can't even blame my parents.

I was young. I was stupid.

They did their best, but I didn't listen.

I met this guy. He was cool.

He drove a big motorcycle. We did drugs, and then we did some more.

The day of the murders, we were strung out on PCP. We needed money. Those poor

people just got in the way.

And when it happened, it didn't even seem so bad killing them.

That was a long time ago.

I've worked really hard on myself.

I've prayed to God every day for forgiveness, for another chance.

What was a normal life?

And I thought, when I got out, that he had heard my prayer.

Why San Francisco?

I tried Sacramento, I tried Fresno, but this is where I'm from. And after all

those years, at least it seemed familiar.

David has trouble getting up in the morning.

As a result, he's often late for school.

One day, he did... Benjamin.

Terrible handwriting.

Whose autograph is that?

It's Barry Bond's, Mom.

My father gave it to me.

Could I have it back, please? No.

What did you guys do after school today?

Nothing. Nothing? You were together for three hours and you did nothing?

Well, not nothing, Mom. We did stuff.

Yeah? Well, what kind of stuff?

He taught me how to hit.

Bam! He said I swing just like Roberto Clemente. Wow.

Did he tell you who Roberto Clemente was?

Uh, yeah. He said he was a hero. That's right.

Hey, maybe you and I should go to a game sometime, huh?

Dad wants to do that tomorrow night.

He said I'm just giving box seats.

Box seats?

Mm -hmm.

Sounds very nice.

No, Mom.

Maybe I could sleep at his house after the game.

Let me think about the sleepover part.

Come on, Mom. It's just for one night.

Benjamin, we'll see.

You didn't think about their offer?

No.

Not since yesterday.

No.

Then why were you tossing and turning all night long?

I know this because I didn't get any sleep either.

Angie, now come on. We have to talk about this.

I want to know how you feel about their offer.

How do you think I'm feeling, Daniel?

Not only do they want me to quit my job, they want me to admit that I shouldn't

have been there in the first place?

But you've had exactly the same thoughts.

Not because I was black or because I was a woman.

Only because of my lack of experience.

Regardless, Ange.

No, Daniel.

There's a lot to consider here. I'm not just going to roll over. What happens to

the next African -American female they want to hang out to dry?

Forget about the big picture and just think about yourself for a second. No,

Daniel. You're not listening. Of course I am.

But the timing couldn't be any better.

And look how happy you've been.

It's not real.

We don't have kids. I should be working. I should be helping you save for the

house we're always talking about.

But you have options, sweetheart. You don't have to be a cop. Why can't you

at this as simply an opportunity to just start over? Because it's not simple.

I'm not going to be their scapegoat. Be their damn scapegoat. Who the hell

really cares?

I care, Daniel. I care.

And I thought you knew me better than this. If I quit now, this is going to

that I failed.

Sometimes our self -images need to be sacrificed.

Especially given what their offer could really mean for us.

Money?

Is that what this is really about, Daniel?

This is about money.

You know what, Ange? This could ruin us.

If this goes wrong, we might never get out from underneath it.

Thanks. Now I know exactly how you're feeling.

You people don't quit, do you?

Mrs. Matthews. I hope you feel good about yourself now.

What are you talking about? Why the hell did you have to call my customer and

ask when my son made that delivery? No, we made a routine inquiry. We did

nothing to suggest that he did that. I don't care if you're doing your job. I

want you to leave us alone. If there's any way I can clear up this

misunderstanding. You have done more than enough.

That damn woman, she's doing it to us all over again.

But that doesn't seem to bother you.

know what you're thinking i'm thinking i'm glad i'm not you and why not because

if i'm a neighbor of helen markham's i'm out throwing rocks through a window

look all i know is that she served her 30 years and the system deemed her fit

be released she shouldn't have to walk around with a target on her back the

of her life you want to forgive her people change jenny you really believe

that's possible yes that is one of the great things about humans is

we learn from our mistakes i'll buy that Yeah, you can make little nips and

tucks around the edges, but basically people are who people are.

You're born and you die pretty much the same person.

All the rest is window dressing.

Oh, I disagree.

I think it depends on the person's motivation.

I mean, if you want something badly enough, you can make it happen. We've

done it, whether we know it or not.

Okay, most of us don't have to crawl out from under the rock that Helen Markham

is under. Well, she may have had a longer way to go, but...

I guess all I'm saying is that it is possible that she's different now. All

saying is that you have to understand that the victim's family might not give

damn about any of this. Yes, I understand how they feel. I just don't

other way to handle this.

So, I just heard from City Hall, apparently you've been harassing the

family? Absolutely not.

But you have been looking into Samuel Napoli as a possible suspect?

Yes, the kid's a hothead. He's been mouthing all over the street about Helen

Markham and he fits the shooter's description.

What's his alibi?

His mother says he was on a delivery across town when Helen Markham was

attacked. And the customer said he was a little late.

You want to bring him in? I think it's worth a shot. Go see him. Be nice.

I thought you knew this already.

On a delivery when that woman got shot.

Your delivery was on 6th and Townsend. Helen Markham was shot near Chinatown.

We're thinking you made a stop along the way.

Is this what you came here for? No, Samuel. We've just been checking up on

I know you spent some time in a juvenile facility.

So? So, you were diagnosed with impulse control disorder.

Seems you have a little trouble restraining your aggressive tendencies.

I didn't shoot that bitch.

But you knowing she was here to start her life over, that must have hurt you

pretty bad.

What the hell would you know about that?

I can only imagine.

But we've seen how bad your mother's hurting.

Leave my mother out of this.

This Markham woman.

You have no idea the years of pain she put my mother through.

We're sorry to hear that.

You're sorry?

The phone hasn't stopped ringing in two days.

Everybody wants a piece of her.

Newspapers, magazines, even some wackos from a website.

Ellen's fan club.

Should have seen my mother's face when she heard that.

Did you find him?

And you gave him my messages?

No.

Don't pay him. Just tell him I called.

Again.

Damn it. Jen, why are you stressing? You can't force that man to take back his

TV.

What TV?

The one that's on the table next to the VCR?

No. That belongs to a woman who lives over in North Beach. She can't get over

here, so I'm bringing it to her after lunch.

So who are you calling?

Oh, okay. If it's none of my business.

Teddy wants to go away for the weekend.

I'm just trying to reach him and let him know my decision.

Why wouldn't you go?

Because he wants to talk.

To talk about us, our relationship.

Talking is what most couples do, Jen, right?

Yeah, I know, I just... Talking can be very dangerous.

Actually, it scared the hell out of me.

Why?

He knows who you are. He's not running anywhere.

Seems that way.

Come on, give yourself some credit.

Well, actually, I do, because I have decided to go.

To go away and to talk.

Good.

I just, uh... I really want to try and make this work, Meg. I really do.

Nothing. Nothing.

We confirmed Samuel Napoli's alibi. He was located near the delivery site five

minutes before Helen Markham was shot, so he couldn't have done it. So what's

next? Angela ran her name through a search engine. Did you know that Helen

Markham has nearly 2 ,000 websites?

Jeffrey Dahmer's got almost 4 ,000. But that's nothing compared to Lee Harvey

Oswald. He's got almost 20 ,000.

Look, another Helen Markham sighting.

A fan club with a $20 membership fee. Boy, after 30 years, they're still

interested. Oh, Captain, they are more than interested.

What I've seen this board is an obsession.

It's perverse. They actually hold her in awe.

Like what she did is worthy of admiration.

Who are these people?

Probably the same people that collect John Wayne Gacy art. They think it's hip

or funny or something.

Unbelievable.

What? A page devoted to Helen Markham Seide.

Dates, places, what the woman was wearing.

Looks like she's got a stalker.

To say the least.

So what's on your mind?

What's in yours, actually?

I need to know what your intentions are toward my son.

You can't tell how I feel about Ben?

I know what I see.

And it's all good.

But I'm not talking about how you feel today or even tomorrow.

Come on. Things have been going so well between Ben and I.

Why complicate that by worrying about the future?

Because that's my job.

That little boy loves you, Gabriel.

And now you're in his life. He counts on you.

What's going to happen if your agent calls and tells you about a gig to Rio

Paris or wherever the hell you might go?

What are you going to do then?

I appreciate your honesty.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

You misunderstand me.

I don't know because my answer depends on you.

On me?

Yes.

Because I'm willing to be here all the time.

If someone were to ask me where I live, I'm ready to say San Francisco.

I want to be his father, Magda.

I don't want to miss any more birthdays or school graduations or anything else.

Now that means you and I, we're going to be involved with one another.

Planning and arranging and sticking to schedules.

Doing what's good for our son.

Thing is, you're going to be seeing a lot of me.

Can you handle that?

I've never seen these websites, but I'm not surprised to hear about them.

If I told you how many letters I got over the years, how many marriage

from men I never met, from women I never met.

Did you ever respond to any of these people?

Not at first.

I thought those people were pathetic, wanting to know me.

But then I became the pathetic one.

It was a few years after my latest parole denial, and, uh...

I was feeling hopeless and lonely, like I'd never get out. And a letter came

from a man, actually a young man. A teenager?

I believe that he was still in high school.

His name was Sean Woods. He lived in Colorado.

He seemed to know everything about me.

Not just who I'd been, but more importantly, who I'd become.

And so we exchanged several letters.

And then he wanted to visit.

Did you see him? No.

I wasn't being fair to him.

I stopped writing.

And have you heard from him since?

Actually, a few months ago, I received an email from him on my computer at

I don't think Sean could have done this. I mean, his letters were never angry.

And besides, I've been receiving emails from several other people, too. And did

you reply to any of them?

No.

I did not think it would be a good idea.

Do you still have the addresses?

They should be in my computer at work.

Let me call my boss and I'll get them for you.

Can I see a receipt for those, please? Oh, well, yes, sir. The receipt is in my

pocket. If you could just hold those for a second, that'd be really great.

Hey, where are you going?

Actually, I forgot.

I had to return some phone calls.

Okay. I'm sorry about that. I've been tied up all day.

I'm teething.

What did you need to talk about?

This weekend, actually.

I was thinking that... Really, actually?

That's, uh... That's weird.

That's what I'm here about.

Oh, okay.

You go first. Well, do you remember that double murder up in Telegraph Hill a

couple months ago?

Vaguely. Well, the prelim's on Tuesday, and there were six witnesses for our

side. I've been asked to prep them over the weekend.

Looks like I'm going to work late every night.

So you're blowing me off.

No, I wouldn't put it that way. Jim, this is a real opportunity for me. I'm

going to be second chair to my bureau chief.

I don't believe this, you know.

You tell me we don't communicate.

You tell me that you love me, for God's sake.

Going away for the weekend is this really great idea, and now you don't

go. No, wait. Did I say I don't want to go?

You know what? You don't have to. I just think you finally came to your senses

and realized that I'm not really worth the trouble. How can you say that about

yourself?

You know what?

Don't worry about it, okay?

Second chair.

You know what? You're making the right choice, actually.

Good. You know what? You just run.

You just run as fast as you can.

Well, we've run down the three people who've been emailing her lately.

One lives in New Jersey, the other in Michigan, both where it worked the time

the shooting.

Uh, what about this Sean Woods?

Boulder police spoke to his neighbors. He hasn't been seen in weeks, and he

recently bought a .22 revolver.

Helen Markham was shot with a .22.

Hmm.

What's your partner doing?

Trying to smoke him out.

And, you know, staring at that screen is not going to make him answer.

Well, I'm praying he's one of these freaks who checks his e -mail

So, let's say we're right. Why would he want to kill her?

Rejection? Gotta be more than that.

Since we're guessing, let's throw a little mental illness into the mix.

Paranoia, schizophrenia.

Combine that with her notoriety. Mark David Chapman.

John Lennon's killer. I mean, he was mentally ill. He just wanted to be a

of history.

Okay, so he tries to meet her in prison. She rejects him, and he drags her down.

It's possible. I mean, whoever kills Helen Markman is certainly going to make

the front page.

A quick fix for all of his problems.

Or like I said, we could be completely off base.

We could be.

Hey, we got an incoming message.

From? Our guy.

Bingo. He's here in town and he wants to meet me. We should call the D .A. and

get a search warrant.

You guys ready?

Helen Markham.

Helen Markham.

S .F .P .D.

Got her.

I'm home.

Safe and sound, I hope.

Yeah, safe and sound.

Wow.

What's the occasion?

Nothing special.

I just got off work early and figured, you know.

Why not?

Daniel.

All right, so I was feeling bad about this morning.

It's okay. I mean, you said what you felt, and your points were valid. Yeah,

I was just thinking about myself.

Look, this decision you have to make, it can't be about what I want.

Or some city attorney trying to protect his ass. Or even the next generation of

minority cops, as important as they may be.

This has to be about you, Angela.

About what you want.

Because if you tell me that being a police officer is where you need to be

now, then I will support you.

Regardless of the consequences.

You mean that?

Yeah.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Gabriel.

All set?

I have to go to the bathroom first.

All right, puppy. You know where it is. Go ahead.

It's his first baseball game, so he's very excited.

Me, too.

Well, just don't let him eat too many hot dogs, okay?

I'll be sure to stop him after about seven.

I'm just trying to help.

He probably got his weak stomach from you.

I, um, finally broke down and got one.

If you want, I can call you every half -day to check in.

Just have him call me in the morning, okay?

Okay.

I'm Magda.

Thank you.

Hi.

All right, baby.

Have a good time, all right?

I love you. I love you, too. I guess I'll see you tomorrow, huh? Okay.

All right.

I just wanted to say thanks.

I know that this couldn't have been one of your easier ones.

I appreciate that.

What's going to happen to him?

We're waiting on the ballistics match, but it looks like he'll be charged with

attempted murder.

He'll have a side consult, and then we'll take it from there.

What about you?

Um, me.

That depends on my parole officer.

I'm hoping to relocate.

San Francisco probably wasn't such a good idea after all.

You sure you don't want to give it some more time?

No.

I don't think this city will ever forget.

And I'm not sure that it should.

Thanks for waiting for me, Captain.

You said it was important.

Yes, it is.

I made a decision regarding the city attorney's offer.

So fast?

I'm not taking it.

You know, these things can drag on for years.

Sure you're ready to live with that kind of insecurity.

There'll be times when you're not thinking about anything else.

I know it's going to be tough.

I mean, it's already been tough.

But if this whole incident wouldn't have happened, I wouldn't realize how much

I'm meant to do this job.

These people this place I belong here
