You think a second whip can walk in and take over just like that? They could

learn to love this job.

You look right at home behind that desk. What was a woman that pregnant doing in

a squad room? I want her out of here today.

You know what's bugging Nelman?

Pregnant is not a good image for one of his detectives. Get your tail back here.

You know, you're real cute when you're angry, Cagney. You're on some sort of

power trip.

I think you ought to stop right there, P3. Don't try muscling in to impress the

department. I can bring you up for insubordination, Detective Cagney.

Three strikes and you're out. You weren't there.

I didn't have a choice. You did have a choice. You had a choice about getting

pregnant.

Central, this is car 211. We are transporting a male prisoner to the 14

for questioning.

This is Detective Victor Isbecki. That's I -S -B -E -C -K -I.

Be advised, this is a homicide suspect.

He's a major mob figure.

Please advise the squad commander to be available.

Car 211, this is Central, okay?

Victor, you realize that's a monitored frequency?

We're going to have to fight our way through the press.

Gee, Marcus.

Forgotten.

Is Becky a detective?

What about the murder weapon?

What did he use?

Detective, folks. Come on. What about the murder weapon?

If Becky was hired by Lamar to kill Conrad Price, why didn't he skip town?

sorry. It's inappropriate to comment on an ongoing investigation.

You think this arrest will get you a promotion, huh?

Well, I hope so. I hope someone does have paid attention. If you make that,

comment.

book Mr. Griffin here for homicide. Okay, honey.

Hey, Specky.

Specky.

You owe me one.

Hey, send me 15 minutes, Cal.

Wait, what happened? How did I lose the call? I have a jail guard.

You got everything?

Well, if I don't, it's too late now.

It's just a joke.

Yeah. Let me see if I forgot anything.

Lieutenant, we've been over every case twice, including the patrol guide.

Well, what do you think? Is that easy, Cagney, huh? You think the second whip

can walk in and take over just like that?

I'll learn by doing it, Lieutenant. You can only grief me so much.

Besides, your vacation started yesterday. You're not even supposed to

this morning.

Yeah, well, I thought I might have forgotten to tell you something.

Lieutenant, why don't you get out of here?

Well, you know what I think, Cagney?

A man's vacation time is his own business.

It's a free country. A man should be able to take a vacation if he wants to

not take one.

Well, you'd accumulated 12 weeks, Lieutenant. They're only asking you to

two.

So what, am I lucky?

Where did you finally pick? Mexico, Hawaii, or the Caribbean?

My sister in Buffalo.

Oh.

Well, you know, all those other places, you've got to have, you know, special

clothes for them. That's true.

You know, I'm just not the vacation type.

Great job, Victor.

Great job.

Hey, ladies, did you hear the good news? Sergeant Cohen made an announcement.

Congratulations, Victor. What can I say?

Griffin thought he got the best of it. He thought he gave it to Slip, but he

didn't know who he was up against. I'm sure he did. It's a good call, Victor.

Yeah, you should have seen his face when I read him the rights. He turned green.

The guy knew he was going away for a long time. It's exactly what he

Let me tell you what else.

The simple part of it is it's a grounder.

We've got an eyewitness who swears he saw Griffin shoot Price. So we use that

make a deal with Griffin, and we move up to the big fish. Hey, what do you mean,

we? Who made this collar, anyway?

Who backed you up? Who drove?

Hey, thanks, but goodbye, guys. This is my ticket to detective first grade, and

it's only the beginning.

Oh, I love the sound of it.

Captain, it's Becky.

Wasn't that a 50s TV show?

Oh!

It's Becky. Great collar.

Congratulations. I do have my moments, don't I?

Hey, I'd be glad to save you some clippings for your scrapbook. Well, why

we just all take up a collection? Get the guy a press agent.

Hey, Cagney, with a face like this, who needs an agent?

Oh, you're more than just a pretty face, Victor.

Yeah, and I got a world -class body, too.

With an ego to match.

That's a good call.

as Ellison.

That's going to leave us short if the Sadowski raid gets a green light.

Put Newman on it. He can work with Pappas and Askamani.

Pappas thinks that Newman's a hot type.

I know that.

Maybe we'll goose Pappas a little.

I like the way you think, Sergeant.

What else do we have?

A couple of details.

Webb and Petrie both put in a vacation request if you approve initial boat

copies. Okay. This is Claudia's favorite niece.

She'd really like us to fly down to Tampa for the wedding.

Oh, I hear Florida's so pretty this time of year. Oh, what a look! Get peasant

sleeve, am I?

Say that again.

Probably will.

All right.

God is in the details.

Uh -huh.

Well, I'll remember that.

All right. Thank you again, Captain.

Goodbye.

Yes,

Detective. Come on in.

home and says you're batting a thousand.

I bet they could learn to love this job.

You look right at home behind that desk.

I better be. I'll be living here for two weeks.

What you got, the felony assault?

Yeah, I ran him through the computer as soon as I came in.

Sounds like fun.

If you think I work hard, Sergeant, you should see my partner.

No kidding. You really tried to climb the building on Fifth Avenue? I lied to

you, Stagger. What are you going to book him for? Nothing. He's a game cop.

I called Belgium.

I'll get it. The doll is very ready. F .A .O. Schwartz. Thank you, Carrasco,

I like it. You would. Come on.

It's Beckett, right?

Yeah.

Oh, sir.

You did a nice job nailing Teddy Griffin.

Very slick.

Thank you.

I thought so, too.

Since when do you have to run in the whole precinct? I told you to stay out

here. I told you when you had an appointment to see my client. I don't

you got a knife in your face.

Yes, sir, I think so. Sit down, Detective.

Very good.

What happened?

Nothing. You are in charge here, Sergeant.

It's your job to know.

Inspector Nelman, I did not... I want to see you in Lieutenant Samuel's office.

Now.

There is no excuse for what happened out there.

I don't care how busy you were, you should have been on top of it. And what

hell is a woman that pregnant doing in a squad room?

I want her out of here today.

happen, Chris.

I'm not hurt.

I can push her on more every day in the subway.

Yeah, well, Melvin doesn't care.

He's afraid of a lawsuit.

We want you on maternity leave, Mary Beth.

Sorry.

Regulations say I'm entitled to work as long as it's okay with my doctor. And

the department.

Nelman says in this case he is the department, and he can override

in the interest of, quote, Detective Lacey's safety and well -being.

My well -being?

That's a laugh.

You know what's bugging Nelman?

Pregnant is not a good image for one of his detectives. My well -being.

That's not fair, Christine. I'm doing my job. I told him that.

I showed him the pattern you discovered in the felony assaults.

Like talking to a wall.

Thanks for trying.

So you leave a few weeks early, think of it as a vacation.

I don't want a vacation. I'm not due for a vacation.

I hate taking money for nothing.

Well, it's not nothing, Mary Beth. When you had the boys, there wasn't any

maternity leave.

You had to just take time off without pay, remember?

Yes.

The men officers outnumber the women, what, 30 to 1?

We fought the department, we fought the union, and we won it.

We got a benefit that we deserve.

So take the win and hurry back.

Look,

I know no man's being a pig.

But there's a good part.

It's probably better for the baby if you're home.

Give you time to shop more, huh?

Hell, you could even do your Christmas shopping here.

The whole squad knows you're a good cop, Mary Beth. This isn't going to change

anything.

I'm going to work out the rest of the shift, okay?

Mary Beth?

He said no.

I want you out as soon as you clean your desk.

Don't you let anybody mess with my desk.

I want it exactly the same when I get back.

What's the matter?

it's just been a hell of a day. I don't know when I... Yeah, all right, I'll

try. I'll call you when I leave.

Okay? Bye.

Hey, Coleman, where are those old files on Teddy Griffin?

Yeah, today would be nice.

Gentlemen, the first round is on me.

That's the reason to celebrate right there.

Well, I made the car of the year. I might even be talking to buy in two

Come on, Mark, if you don't have to finish that now, I'll be done in a half

hour. I'll meet you at Blattery's.

Don't be too long. Mike decides to close his wallet and open his mouth.

Keep talking, Newman, and you're buying.

Hey, guys.

It's so lonely around here without your smiling faces.

What do you say you hang in till your shift ends?

Sorry, my fans are waiting for me down in Flannery's. Gentlemen.

I'd love to look the other way, but my watch says that you've got 23 minutes

left. Your watch talks too much. Come on, Sergeant. All you have to do is

your beautiful blue eyes and pretend you never saw us.

I've been trying to do that since you got here, Newman.

I need three DD5s from you, Becky, and I need two from you, Norman.

Tell you what, after my party, I'll give you anything you want.

Becky, get your tail back here.

You know, you're real cute when you're angry, Cagney.

Sergeant Cagney.

Hey, you're not pulling rank on me, are you, Sergeant?

That's exactly what I'm doing, Detective.

You owe me some paperwork, both of you.

So get on it.

Yes, sir.

Meatloaf was terrific, babe. Best you ever made.

I had all day to do it.

Honey, I know you want it to keep on working.

Well, mostly for Christine, Harv.

You know, with Lieutenant going, all that responsibility, she needs somebody

there who knows her.

She'll be fine.

You said she couldn't wait for Samuels to leave.

Yeah. What do you think, Harvey? Think I ought to fight the thing?

Oh, honey, I don't know.

Nelman should not be allowed to get away with it.

Maybe I should go over his head or to the union, maybe, huh?

You know how those things are. It could take weeks.

By then, you'll be home anyway.

Huh?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's what Chris said.

Relax. Go along with it.

Oh, honey.

I know you got a lot of pride. I do, too.

I mean, I would hate it if it happened to me. I would.

I just don't know if it's worth making yourself crazy.

Huh?

You remember what the doctor said when you got pregnant?

It could be more risky now.

He said I'll be okay as long as they keep on checking me and make sure the

cancer doesn't come back.

All I'm saying is I'm glad you can take it easy now.

Well, there's one nice thing.

You're not going to have a little more time together before we're on the baby's

schedule.

Honey, it's only 7 .30.

We will tell the children.

We're going to bed early because I need my rest.

We could have gone to Flannery's. It wouldn't have bothered me.

No, I'm tired of Flannery's. This place is fine.

Hey, look, I'm under doctor's orders, but you don't have to handle me with kid

gloves. I can watch other people drink.

You could.

Scott.

Diet soda.

Well, don't.

I can feel being one of the suits.

Some parts are great. Some aren't.

Hey, Chris.

I'm absolutely tickle pink about it.

I never thought any kid of mine would be ahead of a squad of detectives.

It's only temporary, Charlie.

Sure, sure.

For now.

You notice how she couldn't wait to crack the whip?

I bet you can't be playing it all day.

You're the one who tried to leave earlier, Mr. Yeah, but she sure took

of it. Typical.

Admit it.

You have trouble taking orders from a woman.

Y 'all do.

You gotta be kidding. I love women.

Ask anybody in my little black book.

My mother and my four sisters had to become a family.

Right. That's why you mentioned Cagney's eyes. So I'm a feminist and a nice guy.

What's a nice numeral? Come on.

I do not have a problem working for a woman.

I think women can be very competent. In certain jobs?

Once they learn how to deal with power. I'm sure some women make terrific

commands. When you're not out to prove something.

I will work for a woman any day.

As long as they have their hormones under control. Oh, no.

He told me to laugh when he called me today.

He told me the 14th colored little Teddy Griffin. That's not exactly Bushley,

you know. He could make you look very good.

Specky thinks he's down a great case.

It's hard to crack a hitman, but who knows, maybe you could turn him. The

downtown would notice that.

I'm not sure that Griffin's guilty, Bob.

I'm just not convinced he shot Conrad Price.

What are you talking about?

You've got an eyewitness, right? And a hundred people who saw Griffin eating

dinner with Price. That's what's bothering me.

Why would he let a whole restaurant full of people see him with Price when he's

planning to hit him right outside?

Griffin is a contract killer.

He's with a man his people don't like. A second later, he's dead. Now, who the

hell else could have done it?

Griffin said he was walking towards his car after knowing Price.

He heard the gunshot a few feet away. He said he turned around.

There was a large man wearing a ski mask right away from the body. Booker says

he thinks the man had a gun. Oh, he didn't fall for that garbage, did you?

Now, Griffin's got, what, nine, ten hits to his name. He's smart enough to learn

to lie to save his neck.

It's exactly the same.

He was so good at covering his tracks, we've never been able to nail him.

Now, why would he mess up this?

I don't know.

But I do know that putting Griffin away is a public service.

Now, you listen to me, Chris.

You go around claiming that Griffin is innocent. You're not going to do

any favors.

Sorry, I didn't mean to buy a new one of those.

Other than that, it's a great way to get out.

Or

not get

out.

Don't tempt me.

Just said the magic words.

I'm glad you called last night.

Me too.

I wasn't expecting an invitation to come over.

I know it.

That makes it better.

Want to try for terrific?

I'll be in L .A. almost two weeks.

Well, I'd love to.

But the boss can't be late.

And I'm the boss.

Bye.

You think it's Freudian?

I always seem to fall for women who get out of bed before I do.

That's because you never want to get out of bed.

And Griffin was apprehended in Brooklyn yesterday after a high -speed chase.

On Tuesday, Channel 3's Samuel Friedman talked with Robert Salinas, who

witnessed the shooting.

You saw the crime committed? Oh, yeah, man. I'm an eyewitness. I saw it happen,

man. I saw the guy run right by me.

You heard the shots? Well, it was one shot, you know. It was only one shot?

That's what I heard, yeah. Then the guy came running out, you know. Can you

describe it?

Well, he was bald.

Did you see the gun, Mrs. Williams? No, no, I didn't see the gun. He probably

threw it away, you know, but it sounded like a .45, you know. I know a lot about

guns, man. My brother Julio, he found a gun one time under the fire escape.

Say, is this going out into the tri -state area, man?

Oh, good morning to you, sir.

Hey, Gavin.

Good morning to you.

I think my picture's a little small, but I can live with it, huh?

What the hell is it? Great piece, huh?

Oh, it's terrific.

Well, Cal Davis wanted an exclusive on Griffin, so I gave it to him. Without

clearing it through me.

How about that?

Must have forgotten about it.

Oh, too bad. This would be in your folder with a reprimand. What are you

such a big deal about?

You go to the press and talk to them in full detail about an ongoing

investigation, and you shoot your fat mouth off.

About this great eyewitness of yours.

Salinas, he's money in the bank.

Oh, really?

Did you see this morning's news?

Any of you gentlemen ever see the news this morning?

Well, if Becky's eyewitness was on it.

There isn't a jury in the world who would believe him.

You're crazy.

A two -year -old could have seen through the interview with Becky.

Salinas is no eyewitness. His story was all over the place. The reporter was

telling him what he saw.

Griffin's attorney will take three seconds to tear him apart.

Cagney, this is my case. Don't try muscling in to impress the department.

And I can bring you up for insubordination, detective.

I want you and Petrie to check into other angles.

When did you talk to Price's widow?

She hasn't returned our calls.

What about the M .E.'s report? What's in it?

We haven't got it yet. There's some flu bug going around the M .E.'s office. So

they backed up.

So lean on them, Petrie.

Well, this isn't our only case, Sergeant. Look!

We arrested a suspect positively identified as running away from the

A known killer with a good motive.

We nailed him within 48 hours right by the book.

Now, no further investigation is necessary.

Griffin did it.

So why don't you just take it easy, Dagny?

Go find yourself a new boyfriend.

Maybe it'll put you in a better mood. Hey, Victor.

I'm telling you, I want you to continue investigating, Detective.

What is it?

Your time of the month or something?

Newman and Carasa, as of today, you will take over the Price homicide.

Make sure these two give you all the papers.

Okay, let's play it back. Here we have Conrad Price and his widow.

His widow, who's a good 20 years younger than he is.

Sheila Price did not seem particularly grief -stricken when questioned, nor

particularly cooperative.

Upon leaving, the masseur arrives.

Acupressurist, one Kerry Donahue. Fine. And then later you find out she has a

standing appointment with this guy, right? Which she hasn't missed since her

husband was killed. She claims she needs the treatments for stress.

It appears to me that he's relieving her stress rather nicely, I think.

So what's the history on the marriage? Second marriage for both parties. Price

was a widower, no kids, big bucks. He met Sheila Lunsford on St. Croix five

years ago, married her three months later. Marriage looks pretty solid since

then.

On the outside?

Is Price as rich as he looks?

Probably richer.

The widow wouldn't give us any details on the will, but I'd give good odds

cheap beneficiary. Okay, find it out. How much does she know about her

business? Not much if you believe her. She had no idea who Teddy Griffin was or

why he was having dinner with her husband that night. Cagney, I got a

for you. Yeah, wait a minute, Colman. But it's possible that Sheila Price knew

that Griffin was a hitman and she and Don Hugh sent him up to take the fall.

Is there anything unusual in the autopsy?

No, except Price had lousy coronary arteries. Whoever killed him probably

have to bother.

Cagney. Wait a minute, Colman. Give me a minute.

Traces of fiber recently acquired found under the fingernails of both hands of

the victim. What does it say there?

In the margin, there's a note right here, no more.

If they didn't send a sample of the fibers over to forensics, get it now,

because I want to find out what it is. It's kind of a long shot, isn't it,

Sergeant? It says recently acquired, Carrasa.

Price was shot at at very close range. It could have grabbed onto anything the

killer was wearing. I'll sit on the lab until we get an answer.

Cagney, I think you should pay attention to this.

Coleman, what is it?

It's more like, who is it?

Cried to warn you he was on his way.

What the hell is going on around here?

I'm waiting for the paperwork on Griffin, and you're off playing kojak

detectives. Tell me something, Cagney. Are you intentionally trying to blow

case, or are you just that stupid?

Inspector. The arrest was made.

We finally got Griffin with his back against the wall and you're screwing it

Griffin may not be guilty, Inspector.

The eyewitness is not reliable.

Why don't you let the DA worry about that? You have other responsibilities.

You're no longer a detective.

You're running the squad now, Sergeant. You better learn where your priorities

are.

Yes, Inspector.

How you do your job reflects on me.

And you're not going to make me look bad. You got that, Cagney?

I was glad to hear it when you made sergeant.

We had our differences about Hennessy, but I always thought you were a good,

smart cop.

I mean, I'm all for the right women making it to the top.

I thought you had what it takes.

I'm warning you, Cagney.

Get your act together.

Three strikes and you're out.

Just thought I'd see how you were.

Fine. That's what they all say.

I'm not in the mood for a stand -up routine, Newman.

I'm sitting down.

Don't push it, okay?

Listen, we've all been working hard lately.

Why don't I buy you a drink tonight? Maybe a couple.

You may not be aware of this, but I know more dirty limericks than any other

living human.

You can try to come up with one. I don't already know.

I've got a lot of work to do, Newman.

I can also listen.

If you have anything you want to talk about.

Some other time.

Sure.

I'll see you around the squad room, Sarge.

Excuse me.

Coleman says you haven't approved my vacation request yet, and Claudia needs

call again last night. She needs to know as soon as possible.

I need to speak this morning.

Thank you.

Petrie?

I'm sorry about what happened on the Price case.

I know you are an innocent bystander and you can't be responsible for your

partner's attitude.

Look, Victor was way out of line.

But you were wrong to take the case away from us in front of the whole squad.

I don't have to answer to you, Detective.

I know you're ambitious.

And I can understand because I'm ambitious, too.

But now...

You're on some sort of power trip.

I could have stopped right there, Petrie. No.

Go ahead.

Discipline me. But I have to say this.

You're over the top, Sergeant.

And if you don't see it, the rest of us do.

Maybe what you see, Petrie, is that I passed the sergeant's exam higher than

did and I'm sitting at this desk and you're not.

You didn't hear a word I said.

Okay.

Yeah. Oh.

Hey, Christine.

Hi. How you doing?

I'm terrific. Very good.

I'm sorry I came by so early.

No, no, I've been up almost an hour. Harvey had to leave by 6 .30.

Oh, I've been at Forest Hills all night, sticking up Conrad Price's wife.

Oh, you must be exhausted. Let me make you some breakfast.

No, nothing for me. I made a Spanish omelette for Harvey. I've got green

left over. No, no, coffee. That's all I want. It'll only take me a minute.

Coffee. That's it.

Listen, I think Teddy Griffin's telling us the truth.

Somebody else killed Price.

His widow was sleeping with a kid named Carrie Donahue. He parked his car around

the corner last night and he didn't leave till 6 o 'clock this morning. How

about pancakes?

I'm making them for the boys. He also happens to fit the physical description

that Griffin gave us of the killer.

A load of his money, I'm sure of that.

His widow, Sheila Price, she's getting over a million bucks off the estate. And

I know you're going to tell me that all the evidence is circumstantial, but it's

cumulative, Mary Beth.

Why don't you sit down, huh?

What I need is a link between Donahue and Price, besides the wife.

Now, the ME's report, there were fibers found under Price's fingernails.

Probably picked up from the killer.

So what I need is to connect that with Donahue, and then I can get him and the

wife.

I don't have to worry about his ailment.

How much coffee you had the last 12 hours?

Sit down and relax a minute. Yeah.

How's everything down at the squad room?

Mary Beth, I need some feedback here.

How's Charlie doing? Did you pick out his Christmas present yet? No, I didn't

pick out a present. I've had other things on my mind, like this case, which

trying to talk to you about.

I thought this was Miss Becky's case. His big deal collar.

I took Miss Becky off the case. I reassigned it to Newman and Caraca.

Miss Becky was insubordinate.

He's lucky I didn't charge him, actually.

He got stubborn and started shooting his mouth off at me.

So what else is new?

What's that supposed to mean? That I'm the bad guy because I beat up on poor

Victor? No, Chris, I didn't say that.

I had every right to take him off the case.

I could have done a lot more to him, too. I don't want anybody else telling

how to handle things.

Chris, I understand how you feel. The hell you do. You weren't there.

I didn't have a choice.

I was sent home, remember?

You did have a choice. You had a choice about getting pregnant.

It's not like it was an accident.

That's my business, Chris.

And it becomes my business when I lose a partner.

You know, you never even talked to me.

I had to hear it with everybody else.

Christine, I'm having a baby.

I'm on leave.

Paternity leave. I'm not retiring.

Yeah, well, you were thinking of retiring last year.

That was last year. I don't know you're not still thinking of retiring.

I'm not retiring.

Sergeant, I got what you wanted on the Price homicide.

Parted an answer out of the lab, and you won't believe what was under Price's

fingernails. Finally.

Ostrich leather.

Forensics thinks it might have come from the jacket.

Ostrich leather. Sounds like something you made up, Numa.

Scouts aren't.

According to my sources, ostrich leather is rare and expensive, and only a few

places carry stuff made out of it.

A jacket could cost a couple of grand.

I see the price could afford it. Exactly what I was thinking. There's more good

news. His landlord says the boyfriend's in the hospital, a hernia operation, so

now he's not going to be around for a couple of days.

Oh, isn't that too bad? Yeah.

Okay, Petrie and his Becky, I want you to help Newman and Carrasco check out

retail outlets for ostrich leather.

Oh. Newman, apply for a warrant first. Then I want you to check out Donahue's

apartment and the locker at his health club.

If he had a jacket like that, he probably threw it away. I met the guy.

the type to throw away a $2 ,000 jacket.

Sergeant, I think this is a waste of time.

Nobody asked you this, Becky.

I thought we were off the case.

You're assisting Newman and Carasa.

Is that your 7 o 'clock?

Yeah, well, I was going to meet Shirley and take in her show, so I went to the

deli for a bite. Had some time, so I came over here.

Bet you 10 bucks you haven't had lunch yet.

No bet.

Well, we got your chicken salad for protein. We got your rye bread for

Sliced tomatoes for vitamin C. Coleslaw with carrots for your eyes.

And a pickle.

What's a pickle for?

Fun, Cagney.

Remember fun?

Vaguely.

Uh, Mr. Ellis? Not it.

It's on the house.

We sergeants got to take care of one mother.

Thank you, Coleman.

Enjoy.

Always wondered what it would be like sitting in here.

Well? We got a big zero on the leather jacket. Only three places carry them. No

one sold one to anybody like Mrs. Price at Donahue in the last year.

We didn't find anything in his apartment or in his locker.

Where's Newman?

Chasing long shots.

My shift is over and I am out of here.

When I first took over the desk, that was the hardest part.

What?

You're not one of the guys anymore.

I hate to give up, but I think the jacket's a dead end. There's nowhere

look.

Okay. Well, then go home. Come back to it tomorrow.

Thanks.

Night.

Night.

Hey, Newman.

Yeah?

You think Donahue could be working more than one health club?

I checked.

The receptionist at the Body Beautiful says it's a rule. He sees their clients

only.

Thanks.

Night, Nevis.

Night.

No women allowed in there.

I'm Sergeant Cagney, 14th Squad.

I'd like to ask you some questions about one of your members, Jerry Donahue. You

know him?

Yeah. Yeah, he's bad news.

If he's in trouble, I'd love to help you out.

It's over.

Good morning.

Stay tuned for the 11 o 'clock news with a weather and sports update.

I always forget the end of that picture.

Because you always fall asleep, sweetheart.

Hiya, Chris.

Hi, Harvey.

Hope it's not too late.

Oh, we're still up.

But I'm on my way to bed.

Good night. Good night, Harvey.

My

brother

came to tell you that I was sorry about this morning.

I love my temper.

And your personal life is none of my business.

Yeah, well, you got that right.

That's my family, Christine, not my job.

Well, that's mine.

And I am happy for you, Mary Beth, about the baby.

And I'm sorry if I didn't sound like it.

You know what's funny about babies?

When they're inside you, you feel different about each one.

Harvey Jr. was like a mystery, like a surprise package I couldn't wait to

And Michael, well, Michael felt kind of like an old friend.

But with this one here, I feel peace, like everything's going to be all right.

I don't know why, but he's somebody that I'm supposed to make a safe place for,

and he makes me feel safe.

Like I'm going to be around for a long time.

You don't have to explain to me.

What? I'm talking about babies.

Okay.

You want a glass of milk or something?

I need scotch.

Oh, sure.

Oh, it's nice, sir.

Oh, thanks.

How's the case going?

Uh, I broke it tonight.

Griffin is not guilty.

And, uh, I was right and everybody else was wrong.

I'm gonna bring Donnie in tomorrow.

Fast work.

Congratulations.

Oh, thanks.

I feel like hell.

This job is hard enough for a man, Mary Beth.

You add to it the fact they give a woman, it's almost impossible.

Maybe I'm just not cut out for it.

Or maybe I just have to settle for being a great detective.

Now, you listen to me, Christine.

You are a great detective, and you don't have to settle for anything.

You're going to be very good at running the squad.

It takes time, is all. You're getting used to it still.

Yeah, you tell that to Nelman.

Nelman? What does Nelman know?

He still thinks a pregnant woman is an eyesore should be kept hidden in the

house.

Nelman.

You're better than he is, Christine.

You're smarter than he is. You got more nerve than he does.

And you'll be better with people, too.

With a little more practice.

You can go as high as you want to in the department, Christine.

And you'll be doing it for all of us.

Make up for the Nelmans.

You know, if I gave the price case back to his Becky, he probably wouldn't even

be grateful.

Huh?

If I let his Becky share the collars with Newman and Carrasco, I bet he

thank me.

Well, Victor's manners are not the best, it's true.

Manners?

You should have heard him in the squad room. He was rude, he was obnoxious.

He got everything he deserved.

I'm sure he did.

Go ahead.

Know how late it is?

Hello, Victor.

I just knew you'd be up.
