ever read what's in here?

Phosphoric acid, benzoate of soda,
monosodium phosphate, and polyethylene

glycol. All that and only one calorie.

I keep on drinking this stuff.

They can just skip the physical, give
you an environmental impact study.

Listen to the human chimney.

It keeps me thin.

Well, I'll tell you what we do. We do a
diet book.

The police person's diet.

Every one of those books sells a
million.

We want to see what cops do.

Oh.

That's the idea.

Uh -huh.

149, 23rd Street. All cars in the
vicinity proceed immediately.

Pots 312, repeat left. Please repeat
left.

Girl on ledge, 14th floor, 23rd and
Lexington, northeast corner. All cars in

vicinity proceed immediately.

Pots 312 responding to left. We're en
route.

Stand back.

How'd you get out there?

Kids wander. When Michael was through,
you're trying to head down to the 72nd

Street subway station.

Officer, what happened?

I'm trying to talk her down.

But I don't know if she doesn't
understand English or what.

But we're going to have to make a grab
for her.

Give me a minute. Keep her looking at
you.

You got a handkerchief or a scarf,
anything like that?

Good, good. Hold it in four.

Perfect, perfect. Give me a lipstick.

Just put two eyes and a little mouth.

Put a smile on it.

Good, good.

Take a good look at it. You ever see
before?

What's the matter? You mad at me?

Are you mad at me?

You ever seen her before?

She was wanting to come up here and...
You give her a hug.

Isn't she a friend of yours?

You okay? Yeah.

You okay?

Sure, she's all right. But you sure
scared me.

What's your name, baby?

Want to take a ride with us?

Yeah.

You call these plain clothes?

Plenty of roughage.

No, no. Give me the stuff without the
raisins.

You can always tell a sandwich is made
for profit. They skimp.

Unlike a sandwich made for love, which
is plentiful in prime ingredients.

Petrie? You got any spare treats?

Homemade oatmeal cookies.

Perfect.

Hey, Petrie.

Look in here.

See ya.

Hello. I'm Arthur Barrett. I'm
representing Curtis Murdoch, whom you're

here. I'm Detective Cagney. This is
Detective Lacey, Detective Petrie.

You must be the arresting officer in the
Murdoch case.

That's right.

And this?

So far, she's exercised her right to
remain silent.

Smart girl.

Looks like she's been roughed up a
little.

Could be police brutality.

Someone else may need a lawyer.

It'll never make the Supreme Court
comfortable.

We have some things we could talk about.

Well, what are we finding out here?

The kid likes cookies.

Hey, Cookie, what's your name, huh?

Why won't you tell us your name? I know
you got a name. Everybody's got a name.

Kids respond to me.

Make it easy on yourself.

Where's your mommy and daddy?

Must be your natural charm, Lieutenant.

I'll get social services up here.
They'll take her. Oh, Lieutenant, give

little while, huh? All right, okay,
okay. But just in case you fail to

any information. I'll get a photographer
up here. We'll get a picture and a

paper.

I'll bet your name is, uh... Angela.

Angela. I want you to lay off my client.
You don't... Easy.

Did Murdoch take it easy on those people
he mugged?

Don't let him get to you. Now, forget
that. I know that.

Make another friend?

I always seek to widen my circle of
acquaintances.

Me too.

You ever stop being a cop long enough to
accept an invitation to dinner?

Cops eat?

Tonight? Eight.

Great.

Hello. Oh, hiya, Chris.

What's up?

Yeah, Garrett.

Yeah, you don't have to pick me up. I'll
see you there.

Chris, how'd it go last night?

Okay.

All right, tell me about it later.

Just got another new one, huh? Oh, yes.

He flashed on her so fast, even I was
impressed.

Harvey. Huh?

You ever wish you were single again?

Uh -uh.

You know what we need?

We need a little excitement, like maybe
take a vacation.

Wait, we can't afford one.

I don't mean now, I mean someday.

If we could, where would you go?

Heidelberg.

Heidelberg?

Since when have you been hot to go to
Heidelberg?

Saw a poster of it once in a bar.

Just struck me as a place I'd like to
see. It was real, you know, quaint.

How about you?

I don't know.

I was willing to settle for you and me
on the Jersey Shore.

Hey.

My throat hurts worse.

Can I get into bed with you? Hey, come
on.

Daddy will take care of you. Come on.
Because I've got to get up.

Harvey, what goes with a purse
-snatching stakeout? Should I wear the

thing or my gray pantsuit?

Wear your bikini.

Purse -snatchers will be so busy looking
at you, they'll forget what they came

for.

Love is blind.

I hate these takeouts.

I'd rather be on the moon.

Well, they're not my favorite thing,
either.

College drives me crazy.

Anyway, back to Mr.

Barrett. I bet he's terrific.

Went to Amherst College. Yeah?

Yeah.

Did you look where that woman's putting
her bag?

No wonder the precinct's swamped with
personality.

These little old ladies are like sitting
ducks.

Oh, Ann.

His uncle was a Supreme Court justice.

The men aren't geniuses either, though,
you know? They put their wallet in their

back pocket. Some guy comes along with a
razor.

One little... Goodbye.

He's a terrific conversationalist, too.

He reads books just like most guys read
the fourth page.

And he didn't jump me. Ah, a real
gentleman, huh?

Yeah.

That's only temporary, I hope.

So did the Prince of Preppies ask you
out again?

In it ran.

To a $200 a plate benefit for the
American Civil Liberties Union.

Sounds formal.

What do you think I should wear?

You're asking me what you should wear to
a function like that?

I haven't been to anything fancy since
Harvey's cousin got married.

They were both virgins. That's how long
ago it was.

Harvey's a whore of anyway.

Oh, he's all right.

Michael's sick, though.

It'll run through the whole family. It
works like that. I'll be back in a

minute. Okay.

Has he still got the fever?

All right, I can get all the stuff here
at the hotel pharmacy.

Yeah, give him a kiss for me. A hug.

Give him a hug.

I don't want you to catch it, too.

Bye -bye.

There's another pair of prawn targets.

We made the papers.

Anyone with information concerning this
girl, blah, blah, blah, blah, please

contact Detective Cagney or Lacey.

There's the picture.

Cute kid, huh?

Front page.

I like that.

You really too busy to pick up your
message?

Any luck in a stakeout?

No. Stay on it. The commissioner's wife
had her first match yesterday. She lost

200 bucks cash.

Where'd she get that kind of money?

Anybody who wants me, they're out of
luck for two hours.

Hello, this is Detective Lacey returning
your call.

How about the girl in the paper? Great.

Your granddaughter?

What's the address, please?

504 East 11th.

Apartment 42.

And is there a telephone number?

I see. When was the phone disconnected?

Mrs. Collins, we'll let you know the
minute we have Angela back with her

parents. Okay?

Thank you.

Bye -bye.

Angela!

Angela, where have you been, huh?

Are you George Dawes?

Yes, ma 'am. We're Detectives Cagney and
Lacey, the 14th Precinct.

Can we come in, sir?

Yes, please.

Come on in. What happened?

Where'd you find her? On a 14 -story
rooftop on Lexington Avenue.

You leave her with relatives for a
couple days, next thing you know, you

find her like this.

Honey, are you sure you're all right?

Huh? Where are these relatives now?

Well, they're just visiting.

They're traveling in a big camper.

They're my wife's people.

Oh, excuse me.

Would you ladies like to sit down? I do.

Do you have any idea of what kind of
camper?

Or the license plate? We'd like to find
them. You'd like to find them? I mean,

how can they let a kid out of their
sight like that?

Excuse me.

The camper had Georgia plates on it.
Their name's Woods.

They live in Atlanta.

They're retired and they travel around a
lot.

Mrs. Dawes, do you have any idea where
your relatives are now? No, we're going

to find them.

How many kids you got?

Three. There's Angela and two boys in
there.

A little bashful.

Mrs. Dawes, your mother tells me you had
your phone disconnected. No, we didn't

disconnect it.

I just told her that. We got a new
unlisted number there.

Honey, I hate saying this, but I'm going
to have to.

Her mother's a real nice old lady.
Really, she is.

But she treats Ruth like a damn kid.

You know, even after we got married, she
was telling Ruth how to run the house

and how to bring up the kids.

And I just got sick of it. She was
interfering with our marriage.

You know, she's getting old.

I'm glad everything turned out for the
best.

Yes, thank you very much.

Really, I appreciate it. Listen, I don't
know how to thank you, really.

Mr. Dawes, if you hear anything from
those relatives, give us a call.

Oh, you bet.

So thank you very much, both of you.
Pleasure.

Take care. Bye -bye.

Bye -bye.

Anything bother you about that family?

Like what? I don't know.

Feels funny. Like their brothers don't
greet their sister. Seems like Dawes

wouldn't let his wife answer for
herself.

He's being overprotective.

You heard what he said about his mother
-in -law.

Look.

Kid's backstage.

Did an okay job.

Maybe.

to skip out on the fare. I just wanted
to go up to my apartment.

You don't expect me to carry my
pocketbook in this.

You should have had your money before
you got in the cab.

They were going to pay me cash for
coming out of the cake. So I came out.

they expected more than an appearance.

So I flipped.

I got principles. Yeah, and I got cake
crumbs all over the back seat.

Okay.

You want to get paid for coming out of
the cake, right?

Yeah. Take her back to the hall.

Go in with her.

Make sure she gets her dough.

Take what she owes you.

Then take the lady home.

Great. I like tall broads. Her home.

Yes,

ma 'am. We saw the two boys. They look
just fine.

Mr. Collins, are you sure you're not
talking about some other child?

I believe you.

Absolutely.

I will, Mrs. Collins.

Bye -bye.

The grandmother says there were four
kids in the Dawes family, not three.

There's another girl.

Hi.

Find those relations of my wife? You
didn't give us too much to go on. Well,

told you all to know.

They are family, so now I figured them
to be trustworthy.

We did want to ask just a few more
questions, Mr. Dawes.

Kid, Paul, Ruth can't keep an eye on him
all the time.

Also, um, where was your older daughter
yesterday?

Older daughter?

Well, Angela's the only one.

We heard you had another child in your
family.

Who told you that?

Your mother -in -law, Mrs. Collins.

Ah, she told that one again.

Well, I guess that's her way of getting
back at us, because, uh, well, I told

her she had to move out. You know, it
was, uh... Rough decision, but, no, I

to. She was driving my wife crazy.

Did she tell you one about how Ruth
would take it out on one of the kids

whenever she got uptight?

No.

Well, she'll get around to it. She's got
a whole collection of them. You just

give her a chance.

Well, better get back to work.

Anything else I can do for you ladies?

Not right now.

Oh, listen, I wanted to say, Now, a
couple days ago, if someone would have

me about cops, I'd have curled their
ear, but, uh... No, you two gave me a

new respect for them.

Thanks.

Oh, you bet. Take care now.

Maybe Joseph's telling the truth.

Maybe Grandma doesn't have both the
words in the water.

You don't believe in that fourth kid, do
you?

Oh, come on, Meredith. We didn't become
detectives. Find a child that must not

even exist.

We already saved Angela.

Just go out.

Hey!

She's looking happy again.

And on the ground again.

How are the boys?

good in school.

Mrs. Dawes -Whitland?

What do you mean?

Well, we know there's another child in
the family.

Mrs. Dawes, why don't you tell us what
really happened?

We gave her up for adoption a couple of
years ago.

We didn't have any money.

No room where we was living.

They found a place where they could keep
her.

Where?

If... Through an agency.

They gave us money.

What agency?

Don't remember the name.

Was it in this neighborhood?

You have the name written down?

Maybe.

Somewhere.

We'll be talking to you again, Mr. Crow.

Bye, Angie!

You don't forget the name of the agency
you turned your kid over to.

left this for you.

Okay, okay, quit shoving.

Thanks for getting Angie back to us.
George and Ruth Dawes.

Child beaters always send chocolate
-covered cherries. Did you miss that one

detective school? No, no, you're wrong
about that. Child beaters send flowers.

It's husbands and rapists that send
candy.

Peanut brittle.

Take it home to the boys before it gets
yours. No chance.

Let's give it to his Becky and watch his
teeth rot.

What do you got on the missing Dawes
kid?

Dawes and his wife tell different
stories, but neither one of them explain

missing daughter or the bruises on
Angela's arm. Are you still on that one?

Look, I belted my kid once or twice when
he stepped out of line. Does that make

me a creep?

A father's got an obligation to
discipline his kids.

There's a difference between discipline
and physical abuse, sir.

Look, the department's got a
psychiatrist paying him a hell of a lot

Does profiles, predicts behavior.

He's good.

Won't ask you if you dreamed about
telephone calls, either.

I'll set up a meeting for you.

You know, I almost could use some more
peanuts.

So child abuse, common as it is, can be
very hard to identify.

Detective Lacey, do you have any
children?

Two. Two boys.

Do you ever discipline them physically?

Sometimes, sure. They get a little
aggravating. I give them a swat. What if

accident you happen to injure one of
your boys?

I would never hurt any kid. What does
this have to do with the case we're on?

I'm merely trying to show that the range
of child abuse is vast.

Dr. Norell, we were just... A scenario.

The missing girl was physically abused
by her father.

Mother wanted to end the situation.

The girls put up for adoption.

The father, understandably, wants to
deny the girl ever existed.

So, if the girl was not adopted, she
could have been violently assaulted,

perhaps fatally.

It happens every day of the week,
especially on Sunday.

Do most of those kids survive?

Most do.

Some become violent themselves.

Some become psychiatrists.

You?

This is not for effect.

I was hit in the eye with a belt buckle
at the age of ten.

Let me add, consider that the father may
be telling the truth.

Check the facts.

If there was, is a missing girl,
eliminate the worst possibility first.

You mean there's no such thing as the
Lynn Dawes. The mother is lying.

I'm suggesting that your sensitivity as
women, to women, may be affecting your

appraisal of the facts.

Sensitivity is women to women. Huh.

Experts can be a real pain, you know?

Every trial we're involved in, they've
got experts, we've got experts. They're

like hookers. You can buy one on every
street corner.

How long do you think it'd take me to
drive up there to see the grandmother?

Uh, it's all through away.

An hour and a half to start after rush
hour.

If I put it here, the sun shines on it
all afternoon.

May I come over and look?

Sure.

That's Lynn.

These are my kids.

This is the half junior, and that's
Michael.

Aren't they gorgeous?

Mrs. Collins, those relatives that your
daughter entrusted Angela to, who are

they? What relatives?

Their name is Woods. They're from
Atlanta.

Oh, my nephew Cork and some girl he
roams around with.

They move around like gypsies in that
camper of his.

Would you call him a responsible person?
No telling what Cork could do.

Mrs. Collins, if I told you it was very
important, would you mind if we borrowed

that picture for a while? The children
are all right, aren't they?

I'll tell you what I'll do.

I'll leave you my kids for security.

All right?

Thank you very much, Mrs. Collins. We'll
be talking to you soon.

Give Lynn a kiss for me, please.

When you see her?

Yes, ma 'am, I will.

So anyway, we get back to my place.
Yeah?

We're feeling kind of loose because we
had this really nice wine and champagne.

Yeah? Gee, I love champagne.

Well, there we are.

Sitting on my couch.

He's in his tux.

Me, I'm in this gown.

My clavicles are showing.

We look just like a, you know, couple
right out of a perfume ad.

And you know what he does? What?

Nothing. Nothing.

Check me out, huh? See any hickeys?

Any beard burn?

Nothing.

Maybe he's gay. Not a chance.

Maybe you're not his type?

I don't know.

We had this little argument about the
criminal justice system. I think I kind

ruffled his feathers.

So, how did it end? So I said to him,
the trouble with you thoroughbreds is

you're too damn sensitive.

We're not going to go to court on this.

You're going to come over next week for
dinner.

You're cooking him dinner?

You must really want him bad.

8 .30 Tuesday.

You got a pot you can lend me?

Coroner told me you were interested in
seeing the reconstructions of

unidentified juveniles.

We've been through every record and
photo in his department, but none of the

match up with the picture we have of
Lynn Dawson. Well, maybe we can help

As he explained to you, one of our
functions is to reconstruct features

decomposed skulls for purposes of
identification.

Now, we've narrowed it down to four in
the time period and age range that you

are investigating.

That's her.

That's Lynn Dawes.

For some resemblance.

Some? Is this enough evidence to proceed
with our investigation, Doctor?

Well, it provides another tool for
identification. It's very difficult to

reconstruct a face from a decomposed
skull, but there are some rules that

you do the reconstruction.

A face is five eyes wide.

Outer corner of the eye is one eye
within from the side.

Now, you stick these on the bone.

Shorter ones up here on the forehead.

And the longer ones here on the chin.

And that gives you skin depth. See, then
you cover with clay.

And once the clay is on, then you have
to work from memory.

Like here.

I noticed the nasal bone had been
broken.

So after I put on the basic skin, I
added just that little touch of

to the nose.

Can you tell what caused the break?

Well, there was evidence of violence all
over the skeleton.

You know, if you listen...

Those bones will talk to you.

You do a lot of this, working with kids?

Oh, yeah, a couple a month, yeah.

You got it done so exact.

Does it ever get to you?

The day it stops getting to me is the
day I quit.

These are the dental x -rays. They match
the pathologist's model that looks like

Lynn Dawes. That's good.

Come on.

And we got lucky.

The fourth dentist we talked to in the
neighborhood gave us a positive ID. It

the Dawes girl.

Just go hard. Let me do it. Hey, cowboy,
it's my drawer.

So you're bringing in the parents now,
right?

The mother claims the girl was adopted a
couple of years ago. So how are you

going to handle it?

Like smart cops.

You push in, then you pull out.

Tired blood.

What's going on, Lieutenant?

You letting Thelma down?

This year, what do you say we go for?

Well, get going.

And be careful, will you? I don't want
to have any false arrest suits in here.

Yes, sir.

We have some bad news for you.

And we are truly sorry.

The body of your daughter, Lynn, was
found seven months ago.

What daughter?

Told them about the adoption

Sure

their human flesh and blood You're
supposed to look

after him

You know, you try.

Then the plant shuts down.

So you start packing up in the car and
moving out.

Looking for work wherever you can find
it.

Anything.

The docs.

Hospital orderly.

Pumping gas.

I mean, what are you supposed to do,
watch them starve?

You know, Ruth, she wanted to keep Lynn.

But, you know, I just couldn't stand
that hurt look in her eye, not being

to give her what she needed.

Now, you find her. You find whoever
adopted Lynn. I want you to get them. I

them to burn. Do you hear? Get them. We
understand.

When was the adoption?

What's the name of the agency?

Help us here. Tell us anything you can
remember.

Please.

Not now.

I'd be wrong with my wife.

For me.

You believe there was an adoption?

No. How are we going to prove it? Break
one of them down?

It's not going to be him.

If we leave that with you, can you make
the model look exactly like the

photograph? Well, some things are kind
of tough to do, like lips.

But, um... Yeah, no problem. Just give
me a little time, huh?

We really appreciate this. Sure.

What was that I had over at your house
last week? It was terrific.

I don't believe this.

You mean to tell me you haven't figured
out what to feed Barrett yet? No.

What was it?

Meatloaf.

Give me the recipe.

Fuck. Chris, you can't give a guy like
Arthur Barrett meatloaf for dinner.

You've got to give him something like
steak tartare.

So give me the recipe for steak tartare.
I'll cook that.

Uh, you got any plain soda?

No, I'll be right here in an hour.

Excuse me.

What is this drink? It's beautiful.

Ah, piña colada.

Ah, I must get one. The painter. Cut the
blonde and blue. I'll get him.

Terrible, isn't it?

What is it?

Oh,

really?

This is an incredible disguise.

Damn it, Barrett. You sit there so cool
and polite making wisecrack remarks.

Why don't you just come out and say it?
The food stinks.

I'm a buster to cook if that's what you
want. Not me.

You want dessert?

Did you make it? Yes.

Then I don't want it.

more wine?

Chris, what's wrong with you tonight?

Nothing.

Problem at work?

No. Trouble with your partner?

Never. Well, something is making you
uncomfortable and I don't know what it

We've been out three times together.

By now, we should be getting a little
bit more familiar.

Here are your car keys.

Listen, Chris, I didn't mean to upset
you.

I didn't plan for this evening to go
this way, either. Your car is parked in

6 a .m. towway, though.

We don't want to wake up that early, do
we?

Can you get that, please?

Chris, you're early.

Mr. Barrett has a wife in Washington.

One of these we -don't -live -together
-but -divorces -out -of -the -question

relationships. Please?

I spent $34 .95 on a cookbook, not to
mention what that side of beef cost me.

Oh, Chris, I'm so sorry.

His loss.

What are you mad about?

I blew it, you know? I mean, I can
usually smell a guy like that a mile

The biorhythm must be off or something.

Christine, did you find out about the
wife before or after?

None of your business.

What is it?

It's the whip the Duke used in the Red
River.

The Duke used a whip?

Oh, he had to.

Hey, do you remember the scene where
this guy was raiding the truck wagon? He

was trying to steal some sugar and all
of a sudden he dropped all these pots

there was a big stampede?

Yeah, that was a great scene. Oh, yes.

Well, you do gotta teach him a lesson,
huh?

How do you know that that whip was the
Duke's?

Oh, the guy who sold it to me. It was an
extra on the movie.

No kidding.

Oh.

So how much did you pay for that?

Forty bucks.

Yeah, it took me six months to convince
the guy to sell it.

Yeah.

You know, that's the oldest clown in the
world.

And you fell for it.

Hey, Lieutenant.

Guys in the John Wayne fan club don't
lie.

What? Homicide? No, no. This is the O
.K. Corral.

Hi, Petrie.

Petrie, you mad at me?

I don't want to see you. Or your
boyfriend, Barrett. He's not my

you know what that tweed suit slumming
Ivy League lawyer got done?

He appealed the hearing, and Murdoch is
out on bail.

The Bill of Rights says that no one
shall be denied bail. When Thomas

wrote the Bill of Rights, he didn't
figure on Curtis mucking on the part of

Murdoch. A little respect for people's
rights might have stopped quite a few

lynchings, Petrie.

What the hell are you doing in the men's
toilet, anyway?

There's only one toilet on this floor.
Right now, it's the men's toilet.

Where? I just talked to Ruth Dawes.
We're going to pick her up.

Oh, I'm not going to order this.

You said it.

He's not going to be the one to crack
it.

How many months did your breast beat
him, Mrs. Dawson?

A week

didn't go by that George didn't hurt me.

One time he threw a carton of salt on
the floor and made me lick it up.

I was so sick.

If he wouldn't beat me or...

One of the kids. He was yelling he was
going to.

Why didn't you just go?

It wasn't always that way.

When we was going together, before we
got married, George was the sweetest

If I ran out of my favorite cologne,
he'd get it for me.

He said he loved the way it smelled,
homie.

He didn't want her in the house.

He said she caused trouble.

One day he took her off and came back
without her. He said he'd found her a

home.

Sometimes I thought the worst, and then
I'd see a picture of a pretty house, and

I'd think maybe Lynn was there with nice
people.

Maybe a garden.

She loved flowers.

At least I saved Angela.

We saved Angela.

We took her off the roof of a 14 -story
building.

I don't know how she got there.

That day George came home...

And he made me dress Angel up.

He didn't want any girls in the house.

We drove around and around, and when we
stopped at a liquor store, I opened up

the car door, and I told Angela that her
daddy was real angry and he was going

to beat her like he'd done before. I
told her to run.

What else could I do?

You did good, Ruth.
