You do not have the right to bring an infant to the clinic!

Everyone, back up!

The abortion is not murder. It's not even a person yet. Tell that to your

My belly is my business. An explosion ripped through the Westside Women's

Clinic. Bob, we were there yesterday.

I thought you would see it as an act of heroism.

Like bombing the gas chambers of Dachau.

Boy, this is some conversation from somebody who once wanted to be a nun.

It's getting a little personal. That's okay.

It is personal.

What are you, so hot to kill babies? What about her? Five months!

Come on, we'll all go up together. Go ahead and do it, baby killer!

Talking about that biological time clock.

She can't wait forever, Victor.

If she wants a kid, she'll have to start soon.

I never thought Bon Bon would turn on me like this.

Women, Victor, they can be unpredictable.

Yeah.

Well, maybe she'll change her mind.

No, it's too late.

I've lost her.

I can't believe she dropped me for a CPA who wants to tie the knot.

I mean, really.

What can this guy possibly offer that I can't?

Marriage?

Love?

Commitment?

Okay, okay, but what else? I think the important word here is tact.

I'm handling it.

We all have to work together.

What do you think I'm going to do, break both his legs?

You look like you're revving yourself up for it.

Oh, boy.

Oh, my informant in here. He was walking down Fifth Avenue. He had an ounce of

coke in his pocket. Oh, don't give me that ounce of coke routine.

You brought him in here to get information on O 'Farrell. He did not

talk to you. But he did.

You messed with my informant.

If anything happens to him out on the street, I'm the one who hears about it,

not you. Don't worry about that, Sergeant, because I have already got you

covered. What? Got me covered? Yeah, yeah.

Come here. I want to talk to you a minute. Yeah.

Hey, come here. No, I'll go talk over there.

Good morning, sir.

Oh, good morning. Waiting for you. Oh, yeah, Cagney, you see the lady at the

door there?

Well, she was outside the station house, scared to come in here.

Why? What's the problem?

Well, she went to a clinic this morning and demonstrators prevented her from

entering.

What, an abortion clinic?

A woman's clinic. It doesn't make any difference whether she wanted an

or whether she wanted to go in there to have a wart removed from her baby toe.

She shouldn't have to explain it to anybody out in front.

Yes, Lieutenant.

All right, so I want you to take Mrs.

Herrera. Over there. Escort her into the clinic, and I want you to get some

uniforms over there as backup.

Yes, sir.

No, Lacey, you stay here, finish up the paperwork, and I'll chat in this case.

With respect, does this have to do with me being pregnant?

Well, you know, this is not an ordinary situation.

I want to keep a lid on this because abortion demonstrations, they can, you

know, blow out of control fast. It could be dangerous.

That's right, Mary Beth.

With respect again, sir, you said you were going to have uniforms there in

there was any trouble, right?

Yeah, but I'm thinking more, Lacey, about your condition, you know. It could

provoke these people more. Or it might help, sir, you never know.

I would like to assist Mrs. Herrera.

All right, but be careful. And be tactful, the both of you.

You hear?

You make those people understand that they have no right to interfere with

anybody coming in or going out.

Clear? Thank you, sir.

Morning. Hey, Dad.

How's it going?

Well, simple, Brian.

It's good to see you, son.

It's been a long time.

It's been a few months.

Yeah, well, like I say.

So what are you doing with yourself now, huh? You still waiting on tables over

at that spaghetti joint?

It's one of the best Italian restaurants in New York, Dad.

That's good.

Save some money.

Put yourself back in the school.

Plans are a little on hold right now, Dad. Mm -hmm.

Dad, I got married.

Congratulations.

I just wanted you to know.

Well, that's very good. Thanks.

Glad you wanted me to know.

I would have been just as happy to hear about it before it happened. I knew

you'd be angry.

Look, let's just get the whole thing out in the open, all right? Let's do that.

First of all, she's not Jewish.

at the restaurant.

She was the cashier.

She needed to support herself after her divorce.

Oh, well, I like this. I'm punch drunk already, kid.

What, you got some more news for me?

Uh -huh.

She's six years older than I am.

Okay, I'll take it. Keep it coming. Keep it coming. Hey, what the hell? I'm on

the ropes already. Come on, keep it coming. It's got to be something else,

I know what. You got her in trouble too, right? Oh, what's the use?

You're always going to think the worst. Hey, wait a second. What do you expect

of me?

That's why you weren't at the wedding.

All right, you want to back up here?

All right, let's clear an entrance to the clinic, please.

You all have a right to demonstrate. You do not have the right to clear an

entrance to the clinic. You are a woman.

You are carrying your own child. How can you help murder? her unborn baby.

Excuse me, ma 'am. I'm an officer of the law and this lady's going inside. Stop

and think about what you are doing before it is too late. Move away, lady.

heard me.

Do not say that.

We can offer you to adoption agency. Officer,

officer. My name is Arlene Crenshaw and yours is Sergeant Cagney for the 14th.

Cagney. Did they send you because they thought women police would be less

inflammatory? I'm just doing my job, lady.

Sergeant, human beings are being murdered in there every day.

I'm not here to debate.

When you let that woman through, you enter the discussion.

I'm doing my job.

Your job is to protect the innocent.

And what could be more innocent than a baby who is being murdered in that

building? That is your opinion and that's your business, but you have no

to bully people on the street.

Look, Sergeant, if you were in Nazi Germany and you saw lives being taken by

thousands, wouldn't you do everything in your power to stop that?

I want you eight feet from the door of this clinic.

All right, now let's go.

Sergeant!

Sergeant! We refuse to look the other way.

Eight feet.

They're so worried about the unborn. What about the babies that are already

here? Do you think those people were picketing City Hall when daycare funding

was cut? I understand how you feel, Doctor.

Hey, I don't need your empathy. I need your protection. It's hard enough for a

woman to face an abortion. She shouldn't have to walk through that park.

It's like living in a war zone, and it has gotten to me.

What month are you in?

Yes.

That's wonderful.

Yeah.

You got a ring on your finger?

You got a good paint job.

A lot of the women come in here aren't selected.

Yeah.

Would you mind dropping me off at 124th Street?

I don't want to have to complain anything to my husband.

Doesn't he know you went to the clinic today?

He doesn't even know I'm pregnant.

He's on disability.

You know men when they're not working.

Miss Herrera, wouldn't it be easier if you two came to this decision together?

The hundred and twenty first one way?

No, just drop me off at the corner.

All right.

They can't make me have this baby.

I see my friends, my age.

They have babies.

They can't work. They can't go to school.

The only thing they can do is watch TV all day.

Will your husband be able to go back to work? Who knows when?

I don't want to be on welfare.

I want to finish business school.

I'm studying to be a court stenographer.

Oh, now there's a good job.

Good pay.

Maybe we'll see you in court sometime.

Mrs. Herrera, if you need assistance going back to the clinic, you call us,

okay? Going to the clinic today for the examination was against everything I was

brought up to believe.

I don't know what I'm going to do.

Mrs. Herrera, you need to talk to somebody.

Talk to your husband.

Let's go. Talk to a friend.

But don't let those people yelling at you make you afraid, all right?

Take it easy.

That's what I thought it would be when I signed on, protecting people who don't

have anybody.

This is one of the days I feel very good about the job.

Something the matter?

What are we running here, a taxi service?

Going out tonight, Chris?

Stores are open late.

New dress.

New shoes. Whatever I find.

I don't know.

Chris, the woman is entitled to make up her own mind about her own body.

Mary Beth, please don't lecture me.

I live what you're talking about.

Pardon?

I was raised Catholic.

This is a hard one for me.

Oh, I see.

Oh, you do?

Women like Mrs. Herrera are wrong. They don't have a right to make their own

decisions. I didn't say that.

But there are other choices besides abortion. No one should tell Mrs.

Herrera to have a child she doesn't want.

You're right.

Mary Beth, I am pro -choice. You know I've never led my life any other way.

But that doesn't mean I'm...

I'm also pro -life.

So you're on everybody's side?

You have to take a stand on this one, Christine.

Otherwise, you're walking the fence.

I ain't walking the fence.

How would you feel if you were raped and you got pregnant?

Oh, I don't know. It'd depend on the guy. Oh, well, please.

That is the most stupid thing you've ever asked me.

Okay.

Let's forget about rape victims and teenage girls and women carrying around

severely damaged children. I don't forget.

I do not forget anyone. What if it was you, Christine?

A 38 -year -old woman having to conspire with her doctor to commit a crime.

That's humiliating.

What if they change the law back and you don't have a choice anymore? Let's

stop. I'd hate it, all right?

I'm just trying to tell you my feelings.

I don't know when it's murder. Abortion is not murder. It's not even a person

yet. Well, tell that to your belly. My belly is my business.

Same as Mrs. Herrera's belly is her business.

I don't want to argue anymore, okay, Mary Beth?

For the record, no one should take away anyone's right to make their own choices

about anything.

But this one feels wrong.

Let's stop.

All right, abortion is wrong, but birth control isn't.

You do use birth control, Christine.

Nobody's perfect.

And flex.

Good, okay?

Back down to the side. Easy, easy.

All the way down.

Hold it. Good.

Back up. Listen to this, Mary Beth.

The Sky Laboya recommends putting babies in warm water immediately after birth

because, I quote, The fluid suspension most closely approximates the watery

walls of the womb.

You're not giving birth to a mermaid, Hoff.

This other doctor goes even further. He delivers babies underwater in a tank of

dolphins. Not bad, Harvey.

They take the boys to the aquarium and kill two birds with one stone.

I think you can at least keep an open mind, Mary Beth. I mean, these doctors

have done lots of research.

Me too.

This is my third baby. Can any of them top that?

I wish it was tomorrow.

Me, too.

I wish I could have seen the boys born.

Me, too.

At least with Michael, I was awake.

But that one doctor, remember?

He told me when I went to bed down, stop.

He said he'd do all the work.

This time, no shots, no spinal, no nothing.

I'm not going to miss a minute of this. Around five this morning, an explosion

ripped through the Westside Women's Clinic.

Yeah, well, we can forget about the dolphins. You and me, kid, that's all we

need here.

It appears that a vagrant, seeking out the warmth of a subway grate, settled

down for a night's sleep... Bob, we were there yesterday.

Firemen found the man unconscious, severely burned.

He is now in the critical care unit at Mount Sinai.

Morning News Break will continue after this.

I used to see that old bum out there.

What do we left some blankets for?

How is he?

Very badly burned.

Better know if he's going to live.

Right to life, huh?

It's been nothing to establish a connection.

You looking for something in particular, Doctor?

Yeah. I'm going to make sure all my files are destroyed.

Sometimes when this has happened at other clinics, they come back and look

records so they can harass the patients.

Yesterday you said you hadn't reported previous threats. Could you give us some

specifics, sir?

Look, I appreciate your support, but I hope you don't mind my sarcasm. But

you think it's a little bit late?

I know you're angry, doctor. Angry?

You just look through some of these records.

We had 12 -year -olds, children, who came here pregnant.

Now, what brand of compassion forces a child...

tell anyone to go through an unwanted pregnancy.

Well, apparently there are people who disagree with you.

Yeah, well, that's hard to see when you're standing in my shoes.

It wasn't that long ago I'd see women who had literally mutilated themselves.

They weren't that desperate.

You're under no obligation to speak to the police. I advise you to order them

off the premises.

Then they'll think I have something to hide.

Now, please believe me when I tell you that bombings are not condoned by any

legitimate pro -life organization.

Extremists who resort to violence only set our cause back.

We condemn any violent incident in support of our cause.

Oh, really?

I thought that you would see it as an act of heroism, like bombing the gas

chambers at Dachau.

Mrs. Crenshaw, your group was demonstrating in front of that clinic

is a list of the people that were there, as well as a copy of your general

membership roster.

Absolutely not. Not without a warrant, which I doubt you have.

Well, that's just a matter of time. If we have to get one, we will.

Unless you can show a specific connection, I doubt any judge will grant

access to general membership files.

Arlene, I recommend that you refuse.

I'm sorry, I'd like to help, but...

Not at the risk of having anyone in my organization harassed. Harassed?

You mean like screaming and taunting people?

Look, when you feel passionately about a moral issue, you don't always behave

reasonably. So you are not responsible if what you do incites others, is that

correct?

No more than the civil rights marches.

No more than the Vietnam protests.

This is legitimate protest.

Not if it leads to bombing.

Not if it leads to violence, no.

You don't like the laws in this country, you vote to change them.

Who came in touch?

Number 23.

You look good, Thelma.

Did something different with your hair.

I'm letting it grow.

It's attractive.

Still working crazy hours?

Well, I finally got some extra.

Good.

So how come we still can't get out of the office before one o 'clock in the

morning, huh?

So our boy went ahead and got himself married, huh?

Yes.

Were you graced with an invitation?

Yes, I was. You were.

Well, I tell you, if he wanted to take a slap at me, it was sure a pretty good

shot. Bert, he didn't want to hurt you. It was his day. He just didn't want you

angry.

Well, what do you think? I wasn't going to be happy for him?

So I married a girl who wasn't Jewish.

What do you think I was going to do, huh?

She's Asian.

Vietnamese.

Is she nice?

I think she'll be good for him.

You meet the family?

Is there a mother? Is there a father? What did they do, come over on a boat?

They came over the same way your parents and my parents came over.

Oh, I didn't know it was a white.

Mr. Sawyers, we're required to coordinate with your office. We'd

if you could tell us what the forensic report shows on the bombing, sir.

I have to apologize. I haven't pushed on that.

I will.

Look, I got a full desk, too. All right?

We'd also like access to your file of pro -life advocates arrested for violent

demonstrations. Could we have that? I'm sorry. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,

and Firearms doesn't keep that kind of file.

So that's one.

I don't know if we ever did.

Well, I bet if it was a list of Vietnam War protests, you'd have a file.

Obviously, Detective, you've mistaken me for someone who makes policy, rather

than someone who simply works here.

Not to change the subject, but that's a very attractive sweater you're wearing.

Oh. Really very pretty.

Thank you.

Color highlights your hair.

So what you're saying is we're supposed to sit back and hope that the poor old

vagrant doesn't die so that he can point out who planted the bomb. Is that

correct? I realize it may not be inspiring a lot of confidence here, but

going to have to trust me.

We've caught a number of these bombers in other states.

I'm going to find this one, too.

Uh -huh.

Thank you.

We appreciate your help.

Okay. I say we file for a warrant on Arlene Crenshaw and her group.

Judge, what's his name? Moses won, right?

Angle box?

Right? Yeah, fine.

What do you think of Sawyer's?

Mary Beth, I do have a personal life, which at the moment is severely in the

dumper. Your choice of men never ceases to amaze me.

Sawyer's doesn't make the decision about what files are kept or are not kept.

A man is a typical bureaucrat. He doesn't care one way or the other.

Maybe he's just trying to do his job, Mary Beth. You know, maybe he just

let his personal feelings get in the way of how he goes about doing it.

Maybe so, Christine.

Personal feelings do get in the way. You're right.

Nice sweater.

Benny Radikowsky.

Spell it.

I don't know how.

See, I dropped out of school. R -A -T -A -K -O -W -S -K -I. You colored him a

few times.

Three. Maybe this time it'll stick.

There's a woman who's been waiting to see you over here.

Hi.

I knew you'd be busy.

I know you have a lot of important things to do.

Mrs. Herrera, are you doing okay?

I told my husband I was pregnant.

First he cried and then... I don't know.

I need to talk to someone.

We could get you in touch with a family counselor.

I need to talk to someone now.

Please.

Let's go see if one of the interview rooms is free.

All right, get this guy out of here.

Beatrice, I got some messages for you here.

Thank you.

How's Lauren?

She's better.

Measles can be tough on a kid.

Of course, chicken pox is no barrel of monkeys.

Let me get the mumps.

That's the one you got to be careful about.

It separates the men from the boys.

Hey, Peter, wait a minute.

Yeah.

Um, how's Claudia?

She doesn't have the music.

No, I mean, is everything, you know, okay between the two of you?

Coleman, is there any place you won't stick your nose?

Hey, you've got a right to be mad at me.

I opened up my big mouth. I made a joke about your wife.

I was out of line. I apologize.

It's history.

Forget it. There's something else you've got to know.

This Becky never said anything to me she shouldn't have.

I'm the one who deserves a flak here.

I was just pulling your leg. How was I supposed to know it was going to come

of my hand?

Look, I know you didn't mean it.

I'm working it through. It just takes time.

Time, yeah.

Well, we got a lot of that, right?

Right.

Marcus.

Chris, you got the Manhattan Yellow Pages?

She talks, I listen.

She asked me to make an appointment for her at another clinic.

Don't worry.

I'll make it for after work.

Good.

I'll take care of it.

Great.

First you called me a cab driver, now you're going to tell me I'm a social

worker, right? I don't want to argue with you.

The woman should not have to go through this alone.

14 Squad, Sergeant Keg.

The old baker that was hurt in the explosion just died.

The lieutenant wanted to know if you'd finished that report on the Chandler's

case. Yeah, sure.

Did you sign us up for Lamar's class?

It's every other Tuesday night, Hoff.

Well, forget ball at night. We've got a date with this little fellow.

Remember the old apartment on 68th Street?

Yeah. We'd lay in the same bed and talk about what it'd be like to start a

family, remember? Yeah.

I figured I'd never sleep late on Sunday morning again.

What are you laughing at? I was right.

I'm the luckiest lady alive.

I got my health back. I got you and the boys.

I got new life in me.

And this poor girl today, all she has is sadness and confusion.

And everybody thinking they have the right to tell her what to do.

Nobody to talk to.

He had to come to some stranger in a station house.

That's what birth control's for.

People shouldn't have kids if they can't take care of them.

Oh, Harv, who knows what she was dreaming would happen.

I mean, it's easy to judge when it's somebody else you're talking about. It's

different when it's you that's pregnant and you've got nowhere to turn.

It's a long time ago, Mary Beth. It's over.

19 years old, Harvey. I thought he was the man of my dreams.

And for him it was a little experiment and time to move on.

He's a bum, Mary Beth.

Any guy that would not stand by you, make you go through that by yourself.

I couldn't tell anybody, not even my mother.

You did what you had to do. Well, I wasn't going to bring a kid into this

without a father.

That's too hard, never knowing your father.

I know, babe.

I snuck around like a criminal, got some guy's name.

Somebody said he'd been a medic in the army.

It's okay.

And one Sunday afternoon, I went to where he lived in the Bronx, this little

room over a grocery.

In the corner was a table, and he pointed to it. He said, lie down like I

dog. No better than a dog, Harv.

Okay, Mary Beth, you said it. And you know, I almost let him do it to me.

I stood there, and I thought about it.

There's people that want us to go back to that, Harv.

It'll never be that way again.

It'll be exactly like that.

The only reason I could walk away was because the money I saved for second

semester.

I made a choice right there.

Take that money, go to Puerto Rico, have it done.

My college money.

How many women do you think he butchered on that table of, huh?

He was a kid, 11, 12 years old. The only one on the whole subway caught off of

me, you see.

Somebody must be doing something right back home, huh? Yeah, kind of made my

day.

Looks like you're on a roll.

Mrs. Crenshaw, what can we do for you?

That poor old man who died.

My organization, no organization involved in the pro -life movement had

to do with this bombing.

I want my people exonerated.

Is your membership broken?

I trust that when you speak with these people, you will treat them with

And that when they have all been cleared, you will issue an apology.

These people don't take life, they cherish it.

Yes, ma 'am.

We're looking for someone who might have participated in violent demonstrations.

Someone with a knowledge of explosives.

You could have sent this over into departmental mail. You didn't need to

trip.

Oh, it really wasn't out of our way.

Must be the worst morning I've had in about two weeks.

Well, sorry to add to your workload.

Well, it's one more emergency.

I'll give it a priority.

I guess we're all overworked, actually. I don't know about you, but for me,

there's barely enough time for a social life. Tell me about it.

My wife's birthday. I haven't even had a chance to get her a present.

Oh, really?

You know that sweater you were wearing the other day? That gold one. Where'd

get that?

Bloomy's.

How soon can we pick that up?

The computer's free. Just take a few minutes.

Great.

Well, that was for nothing.

Any suggestions?

Hit the streets, go down the list one by one.

Good. The old -fashioned method.

Maybe check with the forensic lab, see if they can tell us anything about the

bomb. Good plan, Christine.

Mm -hmm.

Just tell me this one thing. Was I obvious?

Do I have to go through the rest of the day feeling like an idiot?

I wouldn't worry about it. Sure you wouldn't worry.

You're not the one who just made an idiot out of herself.

Oh!

Simon and Garfunkel, Moody Blues, Tina when she was with Ike.

I beg your pardon?

Oh, this particular bomb had its heyday in the late 60s, early 70s, and I

associate bombs with the music of time.

So we're talking about radicals late 60s, early 70s?

Usually just kids trying to blow up a draft induction center. But this is a

homemade device, easily constructed, especially if you read the...

How -to book. It had diagrams and everything.

I remember that. That was even big at Barnard's. Did you see the sequel?

Which one?

How to Build a Nuclear Bomb.

Oh, that's what wowed me.

I mean, just after the time of Montauk Cocktails and Cole Porter, but before

Blastique and Disco.

It's, you know, hard to believe that those were the good old days.

Zane, why don't you take a break?

I don't know.

Let's just see Charlie tonight.

Oh, go ahead.

I can finish up, Z.

Nah, you don't have to.

Now, Harvey took the boys to watch him bowl tonight.

Plus, you've been covering for me the last couple months.

You sure?

Yes, we are sure.

Hey. No problem.

Sorry about the fit of your belly the other day.

Getting a little personal.

That's okay.

It is personal.

It's tough stuff.

Yeah.

Take it slow.

What are you doing here so late, Tracy?

Oh, just catching up on some paperwork, sir.

Why don't you take a load out? Come on to my office. I'll throw some pizza and

might go in. Oh, no, thank you, sir. I'm fine. Well, you've got to keep your

strength up.

Well, I'll be done here soon.

How about a cup of tea?

You want to talk to me or something, Lieutenant?

Yeah.

If you've got a couple of minutes.

Yes, sir.

Want a bigger cup?

Matter of fact... I've got some very interesting tea.

Very delicious, sir.

So, any leads on the bombing?

Oh, we've started interviewing the pro -life people, sir. We're down to the Gs.

Are they being cooperative?

Yeah, they're okay.

It's hard to believe they're the same people screaming on a picket line.

Yeah, well, you know, people are different when they're alone.

You want me to close the door, sir?

No, that's okay. Just sit down and make yourself comfortable.

Yes, sir. This will just take a few seconds to warm up.

Remember when I first got this thing?

Finally learned how to use it.

Well, I got some chamomile tea and some raspberry mint. You know, LaGuardia left

me this when he retired.

Yes, sir. A chamomile, please.

Yeah, you like this, too? Yeah, I prefer it.

Stir sticks.

And I think this should be warm enough right now, yeah.

Magic.

Goes by fast, huh, time?

Yes, sir, too fast.

Yeah. You know, when Davey was born, first time I saw him,

that's something I'm never going to forget.

Well, I don't think there's anything compares to that, sir.

Kind of like time stands still, you know.

We got married, and then we had a kid, and everything else seems to be a

blur.

I liked it, but David was a baby.

Yeah, they can't talk back to you then.

No, that's not it, though. It's like Petrie, you know? You ever listen to

What do you mean about Lauren?

Yeah, she's going to be president.

She's going to grow up to be a brain surgeon.

His daughter.

But that's it, you know.

His daughter.

She's going to grow up to be anything.

Anything.

What do you dream for your kids, Lacey?

Well, sir, I... Well, sir, I think... I always

think maybe Harv Jr. will become a professor.

He's smart, you know.

English or history.

And he'd be safe someplace on a New England campus.

And Michael?

Oh, Michael is like his father. He's good with his hands.

So someday maybe he and Harv Sr. will have their own contracting firm.

You know, Lacey and Son.

And Harv would show him the ropes and then Michael would take over, maybe.

He'd be a good boss, Michael.

Have people working for him.

That's nice, Lacey.

And the world is changing so fast, I don't know what to dream for this one

I always thought my kid was going to grow up to be a lawyer.

I guess that's something that's not fair. It's selfish of me. It's something

that I never got to be.

You wanted to be a lawyer, sir?

Yeah, when I went to college, that's what I had in my mind, to be a lawyer.

But, you know, we got married, and then the baby came.

So I went after a civil service job, walking a beat.

And you didn't ever get to go back?

Well, I juggled classes for a while, but it was hard.

Well, don't get me wrong, I'm not sorry that we had Davy.

No, no, sir.

Just, uh, it was hard, you know. It's tough to keep up the studies and make a

living for us at the same time.

The day that I quit, I promised myself that I would come back.

But it never happened.

Now, my kid's got every opportunity to make something for himself.

He chooses instead to wait on tables at a spaghetti joint.

That's funny.

Parents spend their whole life hoping the kids will become independent.

Then they become independent and the joke is on the parents.

Yeah, that's funny.

Look, what do you say?

Well,

I tell you, I think you ought to talk to Samuels and see if you can get yourself

taken off this case.

It's my job, Pop.

Big boys downtown, still a lot of Irish at the top, you know. You know, the way

they feel, same as me. It is a mortal sin.

I'm investigating a bombing.

This whole thing makes me sick anyway.

I mean, when a abortionist used to be a dirty word, just because the times have

changed doesn't change anything, you know. It is still a mortal sin.

You so sure of that?

You see, that is the way I was taught, that's the way you were taught, and it's

the way I believe.

People a lot smarter than me spend a lot of time figuring this thing out.

What if I was pregnant and I didn't want to marry the guy?

Or he was married and I couldn't and I didn't want to raise the baby by myself?

Well, we'd figure something out. I mean, you know, adoption, your brother,

something.

What if I didn't want to? What are you asking me these questions for? I mean,

it's not a man's problem, you know.

That's not what I meant. What I meant was... Boy, this is some conversation

somebody who once wanted to be a nun.

But it's not going to happen, is it? So please, it's your shot.

You ought to do something like that clock.

Good idea.

Hey, Feeney. Two more.

Hello.

I wanted to see you, Davey.

What about?

Let me introduce you.

Me Ling?

This is my father.

Very nice to meet you.

Likewise. Sure.

Weren't you coming?

Oh, no, no. I was just... Just coming by to give you a present. It's a wedding

present.

I wrapped it myself.

So you're...

Bubba's candlesticks.

She used to use them for the Sabbath candles.

I remember.

Davy's grandmother was alive. She would say to you that they should bring this

new home much happiness.

And I wish you to use them in good health.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Dad. Why don't you come in? Oh, no, no, I was, uh... Come on, stay with us for

supper.

If it's not going to put you down.

Please stay.

It's only cotton, beef, and cabbage.

But we would love to have you. Corn, beef, and cabbage? Are you kidding? You

know, I had a partner once. He said, live on corn, beef, and cabbage.

Yeah, what can I do for you?

We're looking for Emily Lazarus. She moved over two years ago.

Yeah, we know that.

Excuse me, can you turn that down just so I won't talk?

Thank you.

Yeah, she moved over to 84th Street, but she doesn't live there anymore. We

thought maybe you'd kept in touch.

We should do something, Ron.

We just want to talk to her.

No offense, right? But what's in it for me?

Well, you got a choice. You could stay here and watch your putty dry, or you

could go downtown with us. Miss the whole event.

Let me tell you something. That woman's a serious wacko.

Always has been.

Always into causes.

Demonstrations. Getting into trouble ever since college.

You've known her a long time?

Yeah. We used to live together, you know?

Back in the hippy -dippy days, you know? Yes.

Emily moved in with me right after I bought this place.

I got her for a song.

The maintenance is a killer.

And then one day she says, I don't want to live in sin.

I want a clean slate.

So one morning she says, I'm going to change my name to Lazarus. You know,

rising from the dead. All that Bible stuff.

She changed her name?

She used to be Emily Johnson back in the movement.

We were going to change the world.

Now I'm worried, can I change the washer and the tap?

Yes, sir. So you ever hear from her?

Harvey's conspiracy theories are getting to you, see? It's not like this woman

exactly is one of the Chicago Seven.

Why would they waste a file?

Ah, Christine, this one I call.

Emily Johnson was involved in anti -government demonstrations. There will

government file on her.

Central to Detective Car 418K.

Yes, Central, this is Car 418K.

The following information has been relayed by PHEF.

Emily Johnson, alias Emily Lazarus, is known to this department under B number

583642. She has a history of being involved in prior activities, six

arrests, no convictions on record. 10 -4.

4 -4 -18 -10 -4.

Don't gloat.

I hate it when you gloat.

We understand you were demonstrating in front of the clinic the day it was

bombed.

Look, I don't think I have to answer any questions unless my lawyer is present.

That's fine. You're welcome to come down to the station house with us if you

like.

Is that the way it has to be?

Funny you're coming to arrest me.

It's not an arrest, Miss Lazarus. We want to talk to you. I don't suppose

hauling in that doctor to talk to him.

Are you? Emily, we're not here to debate an issue with you.

Why don't we just get going and call your lawyer from the precinct, all

I think I'll call him now.

He can meet us down there.

Don't come in right there!

I have a bomb.

Don't move. Take it easy. I have a bomb. Just put that down. This is a mistake.

You're making a mistake. Get out. Put it down. Lacey, get out of here.

I'm not kidding. I'm going to do it. Remley, think you don't want to hurt

anybody. Shut up. I'm going to do this. Lacey, I said get out of here.

What are you, so hot to kill babies? What about hers? Huh? Shut up! What

hers? Look at here. Five months. Want to kill us?

Five months here, huh?

Come on, we'll all go up together.

Go ahead, do it.

Go ahead and do it, baby killer!

When are you taking Mrs. Herrera to the clinic?

Tonight.

Her appointment is at six.

You better get going.

We have an arrest report to file.

Okay, I'll do it.

You sure?

Thank you, Sergeant.

Terrific.

Now you follow my orders.
