You've got a partner who's on leave. I get a chance to hang on your coattails

and watch you in action. I've got him.

Got who?

the rapist the hardest thing to learn trust me is to be patient and not

jeopardize your whole case you ought to see jones out on the street like she's

been my partner for years well that's nice to hear she's still hung up on that

rape case they know who the man is they can't touch him william brown has been

brutalizing women for over two years he's gotta be stopped i was just trying

help out i put you on this case because i thought you'd act like a detective and

not like a rookie

Is that the homework you told me you didn't have last night?

Mom, I can't find my blue shirt.

Did you wash my blue shirt?

Wear your brown plaid one. Oh, honey, I'm sorry. I should have told you not to

make me one. I'm having lunch at Ruffini's.

You're glowing, Mary Beth. You're glowing this morning.

These pants look gross with this shirt.

Do not read me the riot act for washing your dirty clothes.

Thank you would be polite.

Thank you.

Mom. Mom, this isn't working.

What is the lowest common denominator, Michael?

That's what I can't get. What is three times... Oh, oh, oh, boy.

Harvey!

Would you get the phone?

Somebody can't answer the phone?

Hello? Mary Beth, what did you do with the Goldberg file?

Christine, I got a brand new quart of mayonnaise all over my linoleum. I got a

relentless family that is driving me straight to Bellevue.

You sweet -talked me into doing some speech I haven't written one word of,

haven't seen the Goldberg file in three and a half weeks.

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Christine. It's been a morning and a half.

Go ahead and make me jealous.

Are you still in your robe, huh?

Oh, yeah.

Life of Riley, Christine. Life of Riley. You want to eat your heart out? I don't

have to be in the shower till noon.

You feeling okay?

Harvey says I'm glowing.

Now, how's everything down the squad room?

Did you make any progress on the Harris rape? I know it's the same guy, I just

can't find the connection.

Mom!

The lowest common denominator is 24.

Three 24s and eight 24s is how many 24s? 11.

Bingo. What is that, secret mother code?

Yeah, kind of. Bye.

Hey, watch it.

That's good.

Bye.

If they came into the world as teenagers, there wouldn't be a

explosion. Good, good, Michael.

I gotta go.

Lieutenant!

Where is the Goldberg report? It was due yesterday.

You know, that is interesting. I was just discussing that very thing with

Detective Lacey.

Get a second whip here, Sergeant.

Don't make me run after your paperwork.

Certainly not, Lieutenant.

Sergeant Cagney? Yeah?

I'm police officer Sarah Jones.

Pleasure. I've been waiting to meet you ever since I was in training at the

academy. You're a great role model.

Thanks. No, I mean it.

Not many of us can make it up through the ranks.

Well, it's hard work and clean living, officer.

Well, you know, at the rate you're going, I wouldn't be surprised if one

turned out to be the first woman commissioner.

Before I go back to my desk, you want to tell me what it is you want?

Now that the flattery's over?

Well, I hope it pays off.

Take a shot.

Okay. You've got a partner who's on leave.

Now, I figure you're probably getting buried under a mound of paperwork and

you're hating every minute of it, right?

Keep going.

Well, you could steal me for 90 days.

Modesty aside, I'm efficient, I'm well organized, and I'm really fast with

reports.

What do you get out of that?

Well, if I get your desk cleared off and there's enough time left over, I get a

chance to hang on your coattails and watch you in action.

Make a few points for your gold shield.

Sergeant Cagney, I would never look a gift point in the mouth.

Tongue and chopped liver. How is that possible? I order pastrami, comes up

tongue and chopped liver. I could steal it for 90 days. What do you say? I don't

know, Cagney.

Lieutenant, come on. I've been busting my butt on the Harris investigation.

I'm up to my bangs in paperwork.

She's good. Her record is good, and I need to help. Oh, yeah, sure. I'm sure

Jones is going to be thrilled to be out of uniform so she can do your filing.

Well, we've all paid our dues, and I'm going to show her the ropes.

Warm celery tonic.

Look,

if you want to talk to Coleman, if it's okay with him, it's okay with me.

Thank you, Lieutenant.

You know what's a bigger jump than uniforms like to think?

You had a rough time, huh?

Me? Nah. I talked to water.

Hey, listen, if you have any questions, just ask.

Thanks, Detective.

Well, it's your first day. You must have some questions.

The computers, the files, Samuel's moods, what I'm doing on Saturday night.

Okay, Detective.

I do have one question for you.

You know how you're sitting on the desk?

Yeah.

Aren't you afraid of damaging your sciatic nerve?

She's right there.

So why don't you put your buns in your own chair before you injure yourself?

She also has a great sense of humor. He should know. He's usually why I'm

laughing.

I was up early, anxious to get started.

I'd say you did more than get started.

You didn't find the Goldberg file, did you? Mm -hmm.

Stack on your left, marked A.

As opposed to B and C.

Excuse me, Captain. Call for you on two.

Thanks, Coleman. This electric pencil sharpener is for lead pencils only.

Cagney, 14 squad.

Lipstick liners, eyebrow pencils, step.

Yeah.

Oh, this is great.

What time? No eyebrow pencils, I promise.

Thanks, Sergeant.

Okay, so there's no misunderstanding.

This is a loan for 90 days only. That's it. Coleman, anything that lands on this

desk. Yeah. Stay.

Sweet of you, Sergeant. Thank you, and goodbye.

These northern will go away. They're not so bad. I just got a call from

Lexington Hospital. Another rape victim brought in.

So I'm going down there. You stay here and continue the good work.

Oh, look, I've already made a dent in some of your paperwork. How about

me go along?

No, I've got to get those reports in to Samuel.

Look, I'll make a deal with you.

I tag along now, and then I promise to stay as late as it takes to finish these

up.

You'll have to wait here.

Excuse me, Mr. Jacoby.

I'm sorry, I know this is a bad time.

What? I'm Sergeant Caggy, 14th Squad.

Police Officer Jones. We want to ask you a few questions.

They just took my wife into surgery.

Yes, I know.

It would help us a lot if we could get some answers to some questions. Do you

know what he did to her?

He kicked her in the back so hard she may lose a kidney.

They can't stop the bleeding inside.

What kind of animal does such a thing to a person?

Well, that's what we want to find out.

Now, you took your children to see their grandparents in Boston last night?

Your landlord found your wife this morning.

Do you remember anything unusual when you left?

No.

We believe that the...

Attackers stalked your wife beforehand, so if there's anything you can't

remember... Sergeant, I don't leave my house as if it was a war zone.

I didn't see... I didn't see anything.

Dr. Danovic, OBGYN.

Dr. Danovic, OBGYN.

My God.

My God.

I think I would have gotten if I imagined that such a thing would have

No, I don't. Mr. Jacoby, listen.

We're all angry.

And we all want to stop the man who hurt your wife.

And the best thing you could do for us right now, and for her, is to help her.

Leave.

You're right.

Forgive me, I'm sorry.

There's nothing to apologize for. I understand.

Now, just take it slowly, okay?

Now, what time last night did you leave for Boston?

We were trying to catch the 730 shuttle, but we were running a little late.

The same guy, I know it. Isn't the Harris rape? That one and lots of

ammo matches across the board.

He attacks from behind so the woman cannot identify him. He then puts a

her throat and tells her if she tries to look, he'll kill her.

And then when it's over, he beats her unconscious.

There are never any witnesses. The attacks all occur in older apartment

buildings. He breaks in from the fire escape when the women are alone.

He must be pretty agile. It's not easy to climb a fire escape from the bottom.

What about time and location?

See, that part's a little shaky.

The attacks occur all over the city, all hours of the night, any day of the

week. But I know there's a pattern.

Did you run everything through the computer?

Yeah, about a dozen different ways, but nothing yet.

I'm going to nail him, though.

I can't prove it yet, but I know it's him. I can feel it.

Police officers.

What do you think, Christina? Fellow police officers or sister police

Which is better? Good beginning. Good beginning either way, babe.

Fellow's good, I think.

My fellow police officers.

The Police Woman's Endowment Association has asked me to talk to you about

maternity benefits.

Those we already have and those we feel we still need.

Good. Right to the point. Will you quit interrupting?

I'm sorry. My lips are sealed.

I'm so boring. Maybe I should start with a joke. They always tell you to start

with a joke. What do you think?

Well, they told me in public speaking, all right?

Tell them what you're going to tell them.

Tell them.

And then tell them what you told them.

I know why I let you talk me into this.

I always get so rattled.

Remember that recruitment film we almost made? Remember?

And every single time I have to testify for P -Tech. I've been doing that for

years. Come on, Mary Beth.

My fellow officers.

PEA has asked me here tonight to talk to you about maternity benefits.

Okay.

Those we already have and those we still feel we need.

Believe me, I was here when we were starting and we've come a long way,

The important thing... Did I miss a joke?

Well, I thought it was kind of cute.

All you're going to do is criticize. No, I didn't even hear it.

Mary Beth, I'm sorry. I'm just sort of out of it. All right? Maybe I should

your speech another night.

You got something on your mind?

The Harris case.

Honest, I'm dreaming about it. I'm sorry, Harvey.

Well, maybe you dream up a connection.

There is a connection.

I'm telling you, I feel it. There's a connection.

You'll get it, Christine. Now you got somebody to help you with the paperwork

and have more time.

Okay.

Remember Ratatowski?

I'll brief you. We brought him again for loitering. He told me a joke. And maybe

you could open your speech with it, okay?

It goes like this. That's right, I don't know. Right?

It's about this St.

Bernard and this chicken.

No.

They eat in a bar. I don't think so, Christine.

Well, it was a thought. I don't think so.

Fine.

You taking a short vacation?

Sergeant, last night I got to thinking about the Harris case, about how you

able to tie the M .O. in with all the other rapes, but you couldn't find a

common link.

So I went back over your computer checks.

That must have taken all night.

You ran a check on the victim's destination.

Yeah, but it came up empty. The women worked and lived all over the city. I

it a step further.

What if it wasn't where they were going?

but the routes they took to get there.

So I made some calls.

Mrs.

Harris was visiting her dentist weekly. Now, she would get on the BMT at 28th

and Broadway.

Audrey Mason had lunch with her friends every week. Now, she would start off in

Soho, but she would get off here at 28th and Broadway.

Now, when the third woman's route started crossing the same point, I began

calling all the others and asking if they got on or off the subway with any

of regularity at 28th and Broadway.

Every victim that I could reach passes this corner.

A little more than a coincidence.

That's what I think.

I'd say the rapist makes his first contact with his victim fear.

You said your strong suit was paperwork.

I just followed your lead, Sergeant.

Sure.

She's young, Chris. Remember how we used to be?

Hmm. But it's not just the corner of 28th and Broadway. She's got it

down to the uptown entrance of the BMT.

Now, why would they do this to a pregnant person?

She wanted the corner covered with 24 -hour surveillance.

When you don't even know who you're looking for.

Oh, she's got an answer for that.

She's ordered the yellow sheets on every man who lives in the precinct who's

been arrested for a sex crime in the last five years.

That's 1 ,122 assorted creeps, weirdos, and perverts.

That's good.

Huh?

She's convinced that whoever it is lives within a couple of blocks of the subway

entrance, and that's where he meets his women and stalks them.

Well, a lot of those men would have moved or died or they're in prison.

But she's already weeded them out.

See, so now we're down to 300, 57 of whom are either known or suspected

And not one of them lives near 20th and Broadway.

So we've got to go back to the area and talk to the regular vendors.

Anyway, it's a long shot.

Bill, it was a good idea.

Well, she's smart.

I'm telling you, there's great detective work to subway into.

It's a bad color.

Hey,

spending money on clothes this late in a pregnancy?

Don't you have anything at home in your closet that you can wear to this? Don't

start, Christine.

You're the one who's got me talking to who knows how many policewomen about the

privilege of going on maternity leave.

I'm not going to do it dressed in a turquoise pup tent.

I may be glowing, but I don't want to push it.

Listen, you ought to see Jones out on the street. She plugs right into my

It's like she's been my partner for years.

Well, that's nice to hear.

Oh, I... Actually, she's quite green in a lot of areas. I would never give her

the lead.

I don't have to tell you, Mary Beth. It takes cops years and years to... See?

Yeah. Bag it. Sure.

Let's think of this thing.

Missing something.

The bow.

Oh.

Tag me someone you should see.

Dr. Rifflin?

Is this your therapist, Newman?

Researcher, Columbia University. I was there yesterday investigating an animal

theft. Stolen lab rats.

It's like going home again, isn't it? I was telling Dr.

Rifland about the spontaneous regeneration going on at the precinct.

once there was one female officer who was ambitious, aggressive, and hot

computer time. Excuse me, Newman. And then all of a sudden there were two. And

asked myself, is this like an amoeba? It splits into two beings all by itself.

Splitting is a great idea. Bye, Newman.

Actually, it's an awesome thought.

Cloning? You and your little cagneys marching down Fifth Avenue?

It's not half as frightening as a pack of Newmans strolling down far.

Sergeant, I've got him.

Got who?

The rapist. His name is William Brown.

Joan, yesterday we had over 50 suspects. This is going to be good. 50 suspects

who live in the precinct. Now, I went back over the victims.

Most of them took the subway at midday or early evening.

That's lunch hour or after quitting time for somebody who works in the area.

Now, Brown is the only rapist that we have who does.

Alleged, Tracy.

How the hell did you find out where Brown worked? I put through a 49 for his

credit history.

Work addresses for the past five years. It's a big risk for someone who hasn't

been charged.

How many times have you done it, Sergeant?

She's got you there.

Newman, go clone yourself.

Do you, Sergeant, anything?

All right.

Since you've got everything so well covered, what's next?

Brown's been standing there almost half an hour.

He can stand there all day if he wants to. Nobody's going to take a man who

looks like that as a threat.

Wait. Wait, watch.

Mrs. Brown, why did you drop the assault charges against your husband?

The first time, he said he'd get out on bail and kill me.

And the second time?

He gave me a concussion.

But then he finally agreed to divorce settlement.

We have two kids. We needed that money.

There's another case of a woman who brought sexual assault charges against

husband. She also dropped them, and she left town.

I don't know anything about that. I told you, Bill is a part of my life I want

to forget.

Rob, please.

We need your help.

You don't know what it was like being married to him.

I've been divorced two years, and I still have nightmares about him coming

I couldn't go through that again.

Now, I don't know anything that can help you.

I just want to keep myself and my kids far away from him.

I'm sorry. Look, I've got to get back to work.

You know, two women who have been abused and threatened by Brown. His ex -wife

has long, dark hair, just like all her victims.

And he was brought in twice for questioning as a possible rape suspect.

Brown has never been convicted of anything. We don't have one witness or

victim who can positively identify him. You saw his military record.

Airborne Rangers.

You need agility to be a paratrooper and to break into upper -story apartments.

It's not enough, Jones. I'm telling you, Samuels is never going to go for it.

Listen, I've been doing this a long time.

And the hardest thing to learn, trust me, is to be patient and not jeopardize

your whole case.

Listen, if we don't do something, Brown is going to keep attacking women.

Now, what if he kills one?

Do we tell the family that it happened because we played it by the book?

Let's give it a shot with Samuel.

Hey, go for it, all right?

But don't say I didn't warn you.

Let us put Brown under 24 hours of surveillance.

I'm sorry, I haven't got the manpower.

Lieutenant, this has to be a priority right now.

Officer, everything that happens in this precinct is a priority.

If I had the manpower, I would give every suspect a police escort.

But you don't even have a pattern here on when the guy hits.

We're supposed to be protecting people, for God's sake.

We know who the rapist is. You think you know. William Brown has been

brutalizing women for over two years. He's got to be stopped.

Well, he's not going to be stopped unless you build a better case.

With what you got here, the most you can do is get Brown arrested.

Maybe even take it as far as a hearing. But it's not going to stick.

Man's going to turn right around and be back out in the street again. And for

what? Huh?

A lot of hoopla, time wasted, for nothing.

You get your paperwork done?

Convince him.

Girl's got to learn how to pace herself.

Look who's talking.

Yeah, I work hard, Cagney. So do you.

But we're professionals.

Try to keep some emotional distance from the job.

In a case like this, Lieutenant, it's tough to keep a distance.

Here you go.

Thanks. Hey, Mike.

Cute. Very.

What's that all?

Too fat.

Gives New York's finest a whole new meaning.

Uh -huh.

My dad's in the hangout.

He's a cop, too?

Yeah, well, he was.

He's retired now.

I figured you were second generation.

Third, actually.

Popsicle Terrence walked a beat in Queens when it was still mostly cow

My family's from St. Louis.

I miss them a lot.

Listen, about what happened today with Samuel, don't take it so hard, okay?

just part of the job.

Hey,

hey, hey, take it easy.

Kidding. Never sneak up on somebody like that, detective.

You should know better.

I mean, weren't you the one who told me I should be ready for anything?

Yeah.

I better watch that.

Ten minutes ago, I was ready, Mary Beth.

Mama. What do you think? It's great. Too much?

No, it's nice. It's bright.

Is it too loud?

Heck no.

You want them to see you in the back row, right?

It is. It's too much. Oh, honey, I didn't say that. You look beautiful.

Beautiful.

Yeah? Yeah.

Christine didn't like it either. Oh.

She said she did, but I don't think she even knew what I had on.

She still hung up on that rape case?

Yeah. They called this afternoon.

They know who the man is.

So that's good. So she's feeling better.

No, worse.

They can't touch him.

Not enough evidence to hold up in court.

So she puts him on a hot seat and she bluffs him into a confession. You two do

it all the time.

No, Harvey, this is an educated man. He's white -collar.

Vice president of something or other.

Twice before he was brought in on assault charges.

Both times he had his attorney there before the ink was dry.

Yeah, I get it. The crud doesn't have any dirt under his fingernails, so the

works differently for him.

That's justice, kiddo.

Happens all the time, Hoff.

You know, these men know how to choose their words, and they bring in character

witnesses with important jobs.

Fair or not, it impresses the jury.

Bow or not?

The bow.

We push too hard before we have enough for a case.

They get off, and we wind up at the wrong end of a lawsuit.

So that's it, you guys? Just give up?

No, we don't give up.

We work harder.

Mary Beth, you keep the dress.

The back row is lucky to see you.

Peggy!

Sergeant Keggy, this is Mr. William Brown and his attorney, Mr.

Bronson Ferber.

Sergeant, you and your partner are harassing my client.

Mr. Brown has certain rights under the law.

If you don't stop what you're doing, you're going to be sorry, very sorry.

I just got out of a meeting with Mr. Bronson Ferber, attorney for William

You remember him?

Mr. Ferber is very angry with the NYPD. In fact, he is so angry he is thinking

about filing charges of harassment.

Because you went over the top on this one and apparently went and talked to

Brown's neighbors for the second time.

Where the hell did you get the idea that you could handle an interrogation on my

case without me?

I was just trying to help out.

By calling Brown a rapist before he's even been charged?

You're setting us up for a lawsuit.

All right, maybe I got a little too eager on this one. I'm sorry.

Sorry doesn't cut it, Jones.

Either you play by the book or we end up with egg on our face. Now, I put you on

this case because I thought you'd act like a detective and not like a rookie.

You brought me in because you wanted your paperwork done.

And that's fine with me.

I was grateful for the opportunity.

I would have taken on the garbage detail if it meant a chance to work with you.

I guess I was too anxious to prove myself.

I made a mistake.

It won't happen again, I promise.

Don't promise.

Just think about what you're doing next time, okay?

Yes, Sergeant.

Yes, I know you've been over this before, Miss Turner, but if there was

new you could recall... No, I never... I understand you never actually saw him.

I just think the smell...

Texture of his shirt? Nothing special.

You can remember about his voice, an accent, anything.

Fine. I'm sorry to bother you again. I know, I know. Thank you. Thank you,

Thank you.

Anything?

There's a laugh, too.

Nobody remembers anything that ties into Brown. Damn it, he cannot be that

smart. He isn't.

We'll get him. It's just a matter of time. That's all. It's just a matter of

time.

Jones, 14th.

Mr. Jacoby, how's your wife?

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry to hear that.

No, I know. Of course not.

Well, listen, you have our number here in case there's any change, okay?

Okay.

Um, Mrs. Jacoby isn't going to be able to talk to us.

She's worse?

Since she regained consciousness, she hasn't spoken or recognized anyone,

including her husband.

He said that the doctors have recommended transferring her to a

ward.

Hey, look, it's late. Why don't we call it a night?

You want to stop for a hamburger on the way home? I'd love the company.

Thanks.

I'll take a rain check.

My date wouldn't like being stood up for a good -looking blonde, even if it is

my partner.

See you tomorrow.

I'm telling you, she lied to me.

She said she'd back off. She said she had a late date.

She has no reason to go anywhere near Brown. Neither do you.

It was on my way.

And I didn't stop, and I'm not the one who overstepped before.

Christine, it's the first case out of uniform. She probably got a little

away is all.

It still happens to you.

Remember all those nights you spent sitting up at your desk over Albert

Your eyes were so bloodshot, I thought you were going to go blind.

I hear you, Mary Beth.

But it is different with Jones. I'm telling you, it's more than gung -ho.

Anyway, it bothers me.

She's a smart cop who can detect a pattern nobody else sees. She can pick

slightest clue, and then she blows the whole thing by going overboard.

It doesn't make any sense.

I'm telling you, there's something wrong.

It's off the rock.

Yeah, I tried.

What about her records? Anything there? She's clean.

Maybe I should look at it again.

Mary Beth!

Yeah? Honey, I'm sorry I'm late.

Sonny, he will not let me go. He's talking about the shop.

Hey, what are you doing? How come you're not ready? We've got 20 minutes to

class. Harv, Lamont's class is supposed to help me relax. Now, I can't do that,

but I'm being rushed.

Kitchen's done.

Thank you, Christine.

Hey, Harv.

Hey. Hmm.

What's the matter?

It's like a traction.

Oh, my God.

Harvey, what do we do? Call the hospital. I will call the hospital. You

with Mary Beth. Chris, Chris. No, no, it's handled. I got it handled. Chris,

it's okay not to worry. It's only a Braxton Hicks contraction, sometimes

as false labor.

It's a uterine contraction that gradually increases in intensity and

during the third trimester as the uterus becomes more irritable. Like the mother

to baby. Yeah. It can be brought on by overactivity or by fatigue, but it can

never be accompanied by the breaking of the water bag.

Really?

Fine. Okay, let's go.

Oh, my God.

Christine, are you all right?

Oh, perfect.

I'm fine. I'm fine. Thanks.

Fine.

Mary Beth, I'm not sure that I'm the right one for this.

I mean, Harvey's so prepared.

That's why I come to class with her tonight.

Yeah, so you'll be prepared.

On a million to one chance that Harvey doesn't make it to the delivery room.

It's just a backup. Don't worry about it.

Yeah, that's what they said to me in college when I understudied for Medea.

You never told me that. What happened?

That's why I didn't tell you.

You beat me in this morning.

Yeah, I went to court at the computer before anyone else came in. More digging

on Brown?

No, not on Brown.

Why didn't you tell me you'd been raped?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Pulled your personnel file.

Last year, you were out for three weeks.

Flew.

Your file said that an officer was summoned to your apartment at 2 o 'clock

the morning.

Yeah, I got dizzy. I fell down. My landlord called.

Then I checked your medical.

The incident is listed as an injury of undetermined origin.

So you got a cop who couldn't spell influenza.

And? What's the big deal, Chris?

I checked.

On the doctor you listed.

He was a gynecologist.

Why are you burying this?

You're not the one who committed the crime.

I'm supposed to be able to defend myself.

You think you're the only cop that's ever been a victim? Look, it doesn't

matter, Chris. It's over.

Well, what the hell is?

You said you had a date last night.

You followed me? I followed a hunch of my own.

I didn't expect you to lie to me, Sarah. I'm on your side.

Brown, the man who raped you? No.

No, I couldn't get a lead on the man who raped me.

Six months investigation, day and night, nothing.

Then you heard about the Harris case, huh?

I thought it might be the same pattern.

It wasn't.

You couldn't nail the guy who hurt you, then you just go after Brown?

At least I can put one bastard behind bars.

And what good does it do you? You're jeopardizing your career.

Brown is getting away with murder.

He's destroying women's lives, and he's the one protected by the law.

Look, I know it stinks.

But you're not going to change it with what you're doing. I'm telling you, I

stop him.

Sarah, you go over the edge on this one and you're going to be stuck in uniform

for the next 20 years.

If you stay on the force.

Listen to me.

Take some time off. Get your hands straight.

They've got counseling centers for rape victims. I know how I feel about being

raped. I don't need a counseling center.

I need to get a rapist off the street.

in your folder.

You deserve a shot at your gold shield.

Look what I'm doing for you, Sarah. Brown is not worth it.

I can't let him get away, Chris.

I can't.

She won't go for counseling on her own.

Do you know what'll happen if I make an official recommendation for the

psychiatric services to see her?

I don't want that on her record. She's a good cop, Lieutenant.

Good cops like that we can't afford.

She's off the case, back in uniform, and as of now, she's on two weeks' leave.

Well, shouldn't that come from you?

You're second in command here now, Sergeant.

I just hate to have the 14th with such a good cop.

I wish I could tell you that this part of the job gets easier.

Thank you.

The most important thing, the most important thing is now we have a choice.

I mean, you can either take maternity leave with pay or we can work right up

until the day we deliver. It's up to us.

You see, by sticking together and supporting the union, we have found out

we could really change some old ideas.

So today, today, in

this department, Being pregnant is easier than it used to be.

A little.

And we, too, are here to tell you that every little bit helps. Thank you.

Thanks,

Arlene. See?

You were terrific. I told you they loved you. You think so? Yeah. I was so

nervous. I didn't know if they were sleeping or bored or what. They loved

babe. You didn't hear the applause?

What about the joke at the beginning? Was the joke good?

They laughed. They sure did. I heard them. A little.

Excuse me.

I just had to tell you that I was so moved by your speech, Detective Lacey.

Oh, thank you. Thank you. Good luck.

Thank you.

Bye -bye. Bye.

Where are you from?

Municipal 53rd. You two wait here. I'll pick you up. Pop?

I just finished telling a whole room full of women that a police officer who

pregnant is not handicapped.

She's as capable as any other police officer.

Right. Now, how's it going to look if I can't walk in? Right.

I should have told the other joke, right?

I still like the joke about the St. Bernard and the chicken.

Maybe it was a duck.

Dagny.

Good afternoon,

Inspector. Brown's attorney is threatening a multi -million dollar

Harassment and defamation of character.

Do you know what the press is going to do with that?

On what grounds? We haven't been near Brown since he complained.

No, no, not according to his lawyer.

There's still a car parked out in front of Brown's place at all hours. His

neighbors are willing to corroborate that.

And that a policewoman is still badgering them about Brown.

Where is Officer Jones?

On leave, sir.

Burt, what the hell is going on around here?

I thought it was best for Officer Jones to take some time off.

Why? Because she was too involved in the case?

She was just trying too hard.

Inspector, that's all.

She'll make a good detective.

Yeah? You know what I think?

She's still trying.

You better stop her before she gets us all in a lot of trouble.

You were saying?

I've been trying to reach her for four hours.

She left right as I came on duty at five.

Been going out around that time all week.

Any idea when she'll be back?

Well, man of the day, man.

He says to me Miss Jones has been coming in at seven in the morning.

Good for her, I said. She's finally got herself a boyfriend.

But then, I seen her leave with this brown wig on, so I figured she was

undercover or something.

Hey, you're a cop too. How come you didn't know that?

The girls work together?

Yes. Is something wrong with her?

Something happen to her?

No, no, she's fine.

I don't know if I should let you take that.

A couple?

Are you sure?

All right.

What's going on?

I think Jones is setting herself up as bait for the rapist, trying to get Brown

to follow her. She's got herself a brown wig, and she must have rented an

apartment somewhere around 28th and Broadway.

We're all trying to listen to what she's circled. All right, take it easy,

Cagney. You'll find it. Yeah, well, I should have sent her to Clike after the

service. I ruined her career?

I should have done something. You did.

Cagney, 14.

Chris? Sarah, where are you?

Put a trace on 30.

Sarah, please, just tell me where you are.

It's not important.

I just wanted to apologize for the way I left.

Listen to me, okay?

I know what it is you're doing.

And you think it's the only way out, but you're wrong, Sarah.

You're making the worst mistake possible. You don't have to ruin your

life. All right, we'll get it.

I'm very glad I had the chance to work with you.

Sarah, please don't hang up. Just tell me where you are.

Sarah!

Not long enough.

Did you guys get anything?

Sorry, Sergeant. No luck.

Up in here.

Three addresses left.

I'm going to go find home.

I want to break in and homicide.

Detective Tagney, 14th Precinct.

All right, I'm going to break away.

Tagney, 14th Precinct.

Excuse me.

Let me by.

Let me by, please.

Let me through.

I haven't prior knowledge your dealings with the deceased, William Brown.

Is there any statement you wish to make for the record?
