Original subtitles

When you lose one cop, every cop in this country loses a brother. I was there,

Holly. He was as close to me as you are now. We wanted to be involved in the

active part of this investigation.

One of my detectives lost his life.

I can't have another one taking his or somebody else's. I'm in no mood to play

detective and witness. Come on, Mary Beth. You're pushing me. Aren't you

What I do can be very dangerous. Would you pull yourself together? Somebody we

both worked with has been murdered. Look at how you're acting. I'm not the one

that's acting strange, Christine.

And was anyone guarding the suspect?

Detective Newman, the team leader in this investigation, was there.

So the suspect was under guard.

I said Detective Newman was there, Counselor.

That doesn't mean the suspect was under guard because somebody was there, does

it? The grand jury will decide what all this means, Detective Lacey.

What all this means is that I'm feeling rattled and my stomach is making noises

you can hear in Jersey and I cannot for the life of me do anything with this

air. And the members of the jury will take all of that into consideration.

That's what I'm afraid of. Ready for my big day in court?

Just put it all in perspective.

It's a beautiful suit, Jonah.

It is, isn't it? Newman, when somebody pays you a compliment, you're merely

supposed to say, thank you.

Like the skirt, Cagney.

You have great legs.

Thank you.

And nobody likes a wise guy, Newman.

You'd be surprised.

Dagny, when are you going to give me that report you promised me?

Today. Today? You're going to be in court the whole day.

Lieutenant, you're the one who assigned me to narcotics. I didn't like taking

six detectives off the charts, but narcotics made a request.

Now I'm making a request of you. On your desk tonight. Come hell or high water.

Yes, Lieutenant.

So there in the pearly section is this chick Trixie.

Blonde, blue -eyed, with the kind of body that you find in Billboard.

I mosey on her up to a real slow one, I think.

How'd you like to have kids that look like me, huh? All right,

maybe I didn't say that, but I do have a deal with you tonight.

And I am taking my toothbrush.

Hey, nice suit, Newman.

Thank you.

Good study, Newman.

I bought it for the Detective of the Month's luncheon.

A dark day in the history of the Union. I am going to miss working undercover.

You get to hang out with characters more unsavory than you are.

Coleman, if we win, we'll be celebrating at Flannery. And probably pick up the

tab.

A solid conviction. You know what this means?

Getting around the place off. Second grade detective is a shoo -in. Aren't

glad you nominated me for detective of the month? Aren't you glad the award's

not for humility? Absolutely.

Let's go celebrate. Dinner and drinks are on me.

Uh, Newman, look, um, I got this girl waiting for me, and if I'm late, she's

type that'll just start without me. So why don't we make it another time, huh?

Come on, come on.

Hey, listen, you got plenty of other wins, man. Will you buy me some drinks,

then? That'll be my inspiration. Are the rest of you ready to party?

Ready. Sorry.

Joan, I can't make it. I gotta go home. There's a PTA meeting at Michael's

school. Can we do it another time? How about tomorrow, maybe? You're wrong. How

about you, can he? I got paperwork to do, Newman.

I'd rather you tell me almost anything than hand me a line like that. Really,

Sam? It's better my case this morning. If I can't, I'll come by later, all

right? Yeah, I won't hold my breath. Come on, Newman. We'll just have to

without him.

Okay, don't get too crazy because we have to party all over again tomorrow.

Have a good time.

Bye.

Do you really have a PTA meeting tonight?

You think I'd lie about a thing like that?

I know I would. Hey, Cagney!

Got some money I could borrow?

Are you kidding? You invite people out for dinner and drinks and you don't have

any money?

What kind of hoax do you?

The time to lift my wallet in my locker.

Didn't you borrow it from them?

They say I never pay back a loan.

Good to know, Newman.

10, 13.

Everybody put on their shields.

Nothing's going to happen.

Witnesses, please.

No, I want to stay with him. That's an order. No.

Nothing's going to happen. Oh, jeez, he's bleeding.

Anybody who saw what just happened, would you please step over here? Give me

your name. You're going to be okay. You're very young.

You're very strong.

You're going to be fine.

You're going to be fine.

Frank Manbelli.

Back on patrol two weeks after he was shot.

Here, let's prank the call.

He'll be fine.

He's a healthy kid.

The only second baseman we got. Shortstop.

Shortstop if he's good enough.

Second baseman, McIvey's got the edge.

I'd bet on Newman. He's faster.

He was.

Well, McIvey lost weight.

and I see it coming.

Nobody here is to blame.

Al, we have to hope for the best at all.

I

couldn't

get here any sooner.

How is he? Still in surgery.

With an excellent team of doctors.

Can I do something? Can I give blood?

No, there's nothing to do but wait, Victor.

Why don't you sit down?

I should have been there.

You think you could have done something to stop it from happening?

Maybe.

We were there.

We couldn't stop it.

Any word on who did it?

Witness, uh, saw a car.

Gave us a color model and a partial license plate number.

He'll stick around.

I owe him money from the last poker game.

Sixty bucks.

65.

I know, man.

I live to collect and wipe me out next time we play.

I know you can't identify what kind of car it is, ma 'am, but the rear of this

looks familiar to me.

Or maybe the front of these cars.

I want a hotline, ma 'am. 24 hours a day. I'll set it up. And all information

strictly confidential.

Where's Cagney? Where the hell's Cagney?

The name of the man from intelligence division, Sir Peter Roth. You want me to

get him down here?

Good thinking, Lacey.

Are you all right, Lieutenant?

You want me to get you an aspirin or a cup of coffee? No, no, no, I'm fine, I'm

fine. As soon as Kathy comes in, you send her back to my office?

Yes, sir.

Ask for money. I want you to reach out to the 104 and grab me Warren Horma. Oh,

yeah, he's supposed to be the great wire man? Yeah, right.

Carasa, reach out and grab me Frohlich from Brooklyn Homicide.

We also need a good street person, too.

Newman was the best.

Phone problem?

A teenage.

I called Claudia from the hospital.

I tried to get Harvey down, too, but he already left from Saratoga. I hope he's

not listening to the car radio. Claudia was watching TV.

It said, a NYPD detective.

No name, no priesting.

She cried when she heard my voice.

They protect the dead officer's family. They worry everybody else is.

Our families will have plenty to worry about if it's open season on cops.

I'll mark it.

I checked Newman's 10 cards again. He'd been

assigned two weapons.

These are the serial numbers.

His shield and his ID card and service revolver were found on his person.

And I found his other weapon in his locker.

All the serial numbers, ma 'am?

I also cleaned out the rest of his locker. I figured that Carasa wouldn't

to it. No, that's good work, Simon.

You sit down.

Thanks. I don't feel like sitting.

Yeah, I know.

Want a little shot?

Just a little?

No, thanks. I have some work I have to do.

Most a couple years older than my own son, David.

Loved working undercover, huh?

He was a hot dog. He was a good cop.

I didn't say he wasn't.

I'm gonna get the bastard to gun them down.

Mark my words.

You shouldn't drink while on duty, Bert.

Yeah, I know.

Ah, pour me one, too.

I'm told you haven't released the name of the dead detective yet. Yeah, I'll

make a full statement in the press after all the proper notifications have been

made to the boy's family.

The boy had a family, so the damn vultures can wait. We have a good

with the press, Bert.

Let's keep it that way.

Look, I'm going to send Al Carasa and the chaplain and you over to notify the

next of kin.

Don't you want to do that yourself?

No, I got too much to do here. You're the second wind.

And didn't you and this Newman fellow work on a case together around Christmas

time? Some street musician nonsense?

That's good thinking, Bert. She's a woman, so is his mother.

Might make it a little easier.

Yeah, it's very hard for widows and mothers.

Caruso knows where his mother lives.

Lieutenant. No, look, there's nothing to discuss. There's no time. Just go ahead

and do it.

They had me here for Thanksgiving last year.

Mom's a great cook.

Have you done this before?

If you're worried about what to say, you won't have to say much.

Oh, what a nice approach.

Okay? Forgive me.

How you doing, baby?

Mary Beth, I win 50 bucks.

Marty Kaplan is not home.

Marty Kaplan and his father, they are up in Saratoga doing a cousin's basement.

We are 185 miles from Queens. I see him in a coffee shop. How's that for a

coincidence, huh?

Anyway, we bet 50 bucks.

Who can get home faster?

You should have got a ticket.

I didn't.

Could have gotten an accident.

I didn't. I want 50 bucks, babe.

I was calling you. I say, tomorrow we paint the town, huh?

I was worried that you'd be worried.

What are you doing manicuring your nails now?

Did you hear me?

Yeah, I heard you.

I've been gone three days.

Aren't there better things we could be doing?

Jonah Newman was killed today, Harvey.

I was scared to death that you'd hear a detective got shot at the courthouse.

And you were busy making some stupid bet with Marty. Captain could have got you

killed.

I was there, Harvey.

He was as close to me as you are now. We all were.

Two shots from God knows where. A car, I think.

I saw Rico.

And then he was down, and I held him in my arms.

I hardly knew him, Harvey. He was a kid, you know, 27, 28 years old.

The whole time we knew each other, I don't think we said ten words.

But I saw him every day.

You get used to somebody you see all the time. Yeah.

And I told him, you'll be okay.

At the hospital, we told each other, he'll be okay.

But somehow you know.

We knew.

Thank God.

No, don't say it, Harvey. Don't even think it.

This case in court, he was so excited that we won.

It was the most important thing in the world to him.

I told him I had to go to the PTA meeting and we'd celebrate tomorrow.

Tomorrow, I said.

regret this terrible tragedy.

But the important thing is to remain calm, be cautious, and don't overreact.

Might even be a good idea for the next couple of days to wear a bulletproof

vest.

That's not overreacting.

The Detectives Endowment Association has asked me to announce a $10 ,000 reward

for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of this killer.

And the mayor has matched that reward.

It's a tribute to your fallen comrade that you've elected to return to work

you've all been excused for the rest of the day.

But I know we all feel that when you lose one cop, every cop in

this country loses a brother or a sister.

Great time to get enlightened.

I thank you all.

Uh, Bert, can we talk for a minute, please?

Pass for money.

Yeah? You check with that narcotics case we just finished, please.

Will do.

I'll check his past and present cases for a revenge motive.

I'm going through his Rolodex. Maybe it was a crime of passion. Yeah, a lot of

these drive -by shootings here are gang initiation.

Well, I bet somebody was out to offer a cop.

Well, he was in all the papers.

Since he was detective of the month. Which made him a target. Is that what

you're trying to say, Victor?

I don't think we have to treat it like any other homicide.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm packing extra weapons out there.

I'm in a situation where I've got to draw my gun.

I'm going to shoot first and ask questions later.

Michael Ross, when are we going to start carrying grenades?

I'd rather be tried by 12 and carried by 6.

Newman was shot from a moving car. Extra weapons wouldn't have done him any

good. Then, this is now. We've got to protect ourselves out there.

I don't want to end up like Newman.

Who does?

I'm never going to end up like Newman, dying without a widow.

I've decided to marry Trixie.

Is he serious?

He is.

Whether the relationship is, we'll have to see.

Tag me.

I think Karasa should be put on modified assignment for a month, and I'm talking

clerical duty without his gun.

Today's without his three guns.

One of my detectives lost his life.

I can't have another one taking his or somebody else's.

So, uh, please talk to him before he signs off today.

Wouldn't it be better if it came from you, Lieutenant?

All right, if you say so.

And, uh, I think I would like you and Lacey.

to take Mrs. Newman, her son's personal property.

Oh, couldn't Carrasa do that? Donna, don't be too hard on Carrasa.

I wanted to go back to the crime scene today. Well, you can, but, you know,

first pay your respects.

We wanted to be involved in the active part of this investigation. And you will

be.

First, you've got to take care of this.

After I talk to Carrasa.

You're the second whip here.

And that carries with it some extra responsibilities.

I think you should take something with you, too.

What?

Strudel.

Strudel? That would be good.

Look at the creeps coming in.

Yeah.

The traffic department is checking every summons given the last month.

They're interviewing every shopkeeper in the area. They don't need us here.

Mary Beth, the DMV said it's going to take a few days to run down that license

plate with the three numbers. There could be a hundred cars that model.

Well, if that's all the witness saw, then I suggest we take a different

No, that's all the witness remembered.

And you saw the car, too.

I saw the side of a car, Christine. But maybe you remember more than you think

you do.

So let's walk through it. I don't want to walk through it. We should be back at

the precinct on the telephone.

We're knocking on doors.

Where were you yesterday?

Oh, gee.

You were here with me, all right? Do you remember what you were talking about?

Don't you?

We were talking about how come we couldn't go celebrate with Newman.

I want you to remember. I don't want you to rub it in.

I'm in no mood to play detective and witness, Christine. Look, I could play

witness and you could play the detective, but I did not see the car.

Come on, Mary Beth. You're pushing me.

Do you remember seeing any meter maids?

Traffic cops.

Street vendors.

I already submitted a 49, Sergeant.

It's on Lieutenant Samuel's desk. You can read what I saw.

I don't want to read what you saw. I want to hear what you saw from you now.

Going over Newman's present cases could be valuable.

Going over Newman's past cases could be valuable. But this is not valuable here,

Christine. This is annoying.

About as annoying as you were being yesterday.

What are you talking about? Saying that I was a liar about having to go to

Michael's school. I don't lie, Christine.

And I was about to tell you that if it hadn't been for all the cars walking at

that cab.

What cab? The checker cab that was stalled, which I didn't put in my

We find the cab driver, and maybe he saw something nobody else did.

You did good, Mary Beth.

And I was terrific.

Thank you.

There aren't that many checkered cabs left in here.

We'll find out the police that still have them and check the trip cards from

yesterday.

Between evening shifts and midnights, we should have the cabbies named by

tomorrow morning.

My partner's dead!

Now you find something or I'll find you.

Al?

What?

Are you all right?

Yeah.

I want him so bad I can taste it. Yeah, but you've got to calm down, Al. Calm

down? That's easy for you to say.

What if this happened to your partner? What if it was Cagney who was off? Do

think he'd keep you cool?

This is hard for all of us. I want that bastard behind bars.

We all do.

We all do.

Excuse me.

Detective Lacey, may I speak with Detective Caruso alone, please?

Yes, Sergeant.

No, Cagney. You take me off the street, you know what you're losing? You can't

do that!

I don't have a choice.

Desk duty. A lot of what I'm going to do is on desk duty.

Al, you're tired.

No need to worry.

You don't have to be alert on clerical. If I misplace a stapler, no lives are

endangered. Go home and get some rest.

My first sergeant told me we watch out for our own. If so -and -so's a cop, you

might not like him.

But if he needs your help, you lay down your life for him because he's a cop.

Now, I had to lay down my life for Newman because he was Jonah Newman.

There were two bullets, Cagney.

Why didn't the other one hit me?

Because it didn't.

Yeah, we're all out there trying to figure out what we're looking for. Well,

I'll tell you what we're looking for. We're looking for a lousy shot.

I hope it's not too late.

Well, I didn't expect to see you this week with all that's going on.

Yeah, it's been busy.

How about you? How'd your deposition go tonight?

Very well.

Can I get you a drink?

A double?

Thank you.

Must be tough.

Partner dying.

Wasn't my partner.

He was with you on that Santa Claus case.

One case?

on his best behavior, trust me.

I guess everybody must be pretty upset.

David, enough with the guessing, okay?

Okay.

I'm sorry.

I really shouldn't have come.

I certainly should have called first.

If you had, I would have invited you over. Oh, yes, but then you would have

known what to expect.

If you want to know the truth, I never know what to expect with you.

I like that.

Keep your guessing, huh?

You don't always have to be a barrel of laughs.

Can I fix you something to eat?

No.

Would you like to hear some music?

We could see what's on the tube.

Could we just go to bed?

You're tired.

I just want to feel alive.

You could come in, you know.

Yeah, I know.

Come here.

We are.

What I do can be dangerous.

But life is dangerous.

You start thinking about all the ways you could die, you stop living anyway.

Aren't you scared?

Yeah, but it'll pass.

If we didn't have to move, you wouldn't have to work.

That's not true.

We want the house. It's something we dreamed about all our lives, but I want

work, too.

Oh, kiddo.

I wish that I could tell you that nothing bad will ever happen to you.

Or me, either.

But you're getting too old for me to say stuff like that to you anymore.

Sometimes that bothers me.

Sometimes it bothers me too.

The subway was very crowded. Midnight found the cabbie.

Good. Even noted a tan car with license plates similar to the ones we're looking

at. Good.

There's only one problem. The letters come before the numbers.

Can I get coffee first? Yeah.

Now, the way I see it, there are two possibilities. Either the witness or the

cabbie read the license plate backwards.

Dyslexia, right? Or they're not New York plates.

Every witness swore that it was a gold fill with blue figures. The same colors

as Oregon license plates, which happen to have letters preceding the numbers.

You want something else.

Thank you.

Samuels approves we run an APB for the car with the Oregon plates while the

DMV's looking up the New York plates.

It's all arranged.

What, your marriage to your widow -to -be?

I'd like to call her my fiancée, Kate.

Does she answer?

Anyway, she's not the one that's going to make the difference. It is cryonic

suspension. What kind of suspension?

Cryonic suspension. When you die, they freeze you. Then they defrost you. When

they can cure whatever killed you. The immortal is back.

Come on, Mary Beth.

The snipers in the street await us.

This freezing business.

What did they put you in?

I don't know. I didn't ask.

What do you guess, Marcus?

Just get close.

This A .P .P. business, it's a long shot. You think it's worth it? What do

have to lose?

It's asking a lot of the uniforms, sir, but I think that we might get us some

with.

All right, so do it.

Thank you, Lieutenant.

First, uh... First, I want the two of you to go over to Newman's apartment.

You gotta know that he's clean.

Yes, sir.

Lieutenant, can't you get... ask Vermont or your case act to do that? Can you?

How come every time I ask you to do something, you want me to ask someone

It's the things you're asking me to do.

Tell his mother.

Visit his family, reaffine Carrasco, now go through his personal effects.

I don't have to apologize to you every time I ask for your help.

Sergeant!

I wasn't suggesting what you do, Lieutenant.

All right, now go to Nunes.

See if he was a crook. No, to see if you can find something.

Yes, sir?

We're on our way.

I think that's what anybody can do.

Maybe not him, Christine.

Feels weird, huh?

I mean, it's not like...

Going through things of people you don't know.

Or people you think you know, like family.

Just get what we need and get out of here.

He had an amazing record collection.

Chris, look at this.

Must have been him when he was a boy.

Okay, I know.

Files, diaries.

Any unusual habits?

Who are you?

Debbie Chasler.

My wallet's in my bag.

I don't carry a gun, only credit cards.

I'm... I was his girlfriend.

I sort of lived here part -time.

Put your hand down.

We apologize, Miss Chasler.

You didn't mean to scare you like that. I'm Detective Lacey.

This is Sergeant Cagney. Hi.

Cagney? Huh?

Oh, he talked about you a lot.

He thought you were the best detective he'd ever met.

I should have known you'd be coming.

It's part of the investigation.

I guess you got to check to see if he was the terrific guy everyone said he

Yes, Miss Chasler.

What a sweet girl she is, huh?

Well, his appointment book didn't show any irregularities. They were planning

their honeymoon in Paris.

No signs of drug or alcohol abuse.

They wanted a lot of kids, too. Faking Newman for being crazy about children.

I didn't know that.

Maybe his checkbook or his mail will turn up something. I'm glad he had

to love him, Chris.

Will you pull yourself together?

I beg your pardon? We're working on a case.

Yeah? Well, look at how you're acting.

Somebody we both worked with has been murdered.

Yeah?

I'm not the one that's acting strange, Christine.

Lacey, your son Michael called.

He sounded a little upset, so we talked for a while until he felt better.

That's nice. Thank you, Sergeant.

You're very welcome.

Anything I can do for you, Cagney?

You all right, Coleman?

Let me guess. You found religion.

No, poetry.

Hey, listen to this here.

I shall pass through this world but once.

If there be any kindness I can show, let me do it now, for I shall not pass this

way again.

Pretty, huh?

Beautiful.

Death could certainly change a person. Sure, look what it did for Newman.

Anybody want to help with Newman stuff?

You didn't find any dirt on him, did you? Nothing.

But we met Debbie Chasler. She seems like a fine young woman. Yeah.

He'll have a hard time finding a guy as great as Jonah. I'm taking his

checkbook.

I'll take his telephone bill.

He was always on the phone to one of his sisters.

A lot of charitable donations.

Maybe I'll have to forgive him for not paying back his loan.

You're just like me, a cop's a cop.

I used to say to Newman, you're a gentleman and a scout and a good judge

Manischewitz. He knew his ripple, too.

Christine told me once that he was very good at poker.

He's a hell of a basketball player.

For a shortcut.

What is this, a Jonah Newman testimonial?

Some of us care that he's gone, Cagney.

You saying I don't?

I don't really know what you feel.

I'm not sure you do either.

Oh, Petrie, go analyze somebody else. We're trying to loosen up. Come on,

Cagney, what's your problem?

Everybody's walking around saying what a great guy Newman was.

Nobody ever said that when you wanted me to set him up in the poker game. We

knew him then.

Coleman knew him last week when he wanted McGyvie instead of Newman to play

shortstop on our softball team.

What's your point, Cagney?

Suddenly everybody's going around asking, did he have a wife?

Gee, did he have any kids?

Nobody even cared till he got killed.

Nobody's even thought about Newman's personal life. Hell, nobody even knew if

had one. Carasa knew.

Mine, Carasa.

For the last few days, all we've heard about is what a stand -up guy Newman

Oh, really smart and hard -working. Wow, is he honest.

Is it enough to make you puke?

Yes, it is enough, Christine.

I would like to catch the guy who killed Newman just as much as you.

But I don't think that we have to anoint him first.

It's a bank thing.

Who's doing the phone bills?

You

know

what time it is?

Honey, they want us working all 30 hours, too.

12 -hour shifts. Do you feel guilty going home at all?

They said you left a long time ago.

There's fewer trains this time of night.

Damn it, Mary Beth, I worry too.

I've been taking different routes home, Harvey.

Yesterday it was the F train to Delancey.

And the Q11 bus from Woodhaven. Today it was the M train to Wyckoff.

And bus B55.

I keep thinking, you know, if he was the target.

I thought you were handling it so well.

When I was pregnant, I hated being on clerical duty.

But today on the street, I kept thinking it felt so safe sitting behind manila

folders. Then do it. Put in for clerical.

That little girl makes me want to live forever.

Look at her. She's so pure.

So safe.

When am I going to feel safe again?

Come here.

You know, when you first joined the force, every time we kissed goodbye, I

thought it could be the last time.

But holding on to those fears doesn't make you any safer. It doesn't make me

easier. So stop looking over your shoulder.

Start taking the old route home.

I wish we were in the new house already.

Me too.

Have your attention, please.

Have your attention, please.

Everybody.

18th Precinct just called to report an arrest in the shooting of Detective

Grade Jonah Newman.

And the ballistics has been given a .38, covered in a car with Oregon license

plates, matching the ones given by the checker cab driver to Sergeant Cagney

Detective Lacey.

Both are...

to be congratulated.

Who is it? Does he have a yellow sheet? What do you have against Newman?

Let's go down to the ATA. No, no. No, no. There's no need for that.

They asked if we want to share in the collar and they're on their way here

Thank you, sir.

It's him.

I can feel it. Oh, yeah.

It's him in the middle down right.

Yes. Right.

I know.

Step by step.

Congratulations, sir.

Hey.

Yes.

You want to come out and take the wind with us, Lieutenant?

No, no, no. I think I'll take it in here.

There's a fellow detective new to you, Cagney, but I think you're going to find

it's something you can never get used to.

Especially... Sometimes I used to think, okay.

Maybe my son will be a cop.

Times like this, I'm glad he's not.

Lieutenant, you are not responsible for what happened to Newman.

I know that.

But a commanding officer feels responsible for everything.

I wanted to go over to the Newman family, but I just wasn't ready.

Well, maybe you will be soon. I am.

The show's not finished yet, so I'm going to go over this even later.

The lieutenant watches all the new talent that comes in, and sometimes

when you see one with such promise, such ambition and energy, and you

laugh and you talk and... You know,

you call Newman a hot dog, but...

Well, he and I, we call that chutzpah.

I'm sorry I leaned on you so hard, Katie.

I'm glad you thought you could.

18th is bringing that suspect over for questioning. Someone's going to have to

interrogate him, and I'd like, like, I'd like hell to do it, but

I think I owe this one to you.

It's amazing.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm taking

too

long. They're grilling him. I hope they're frying him.

Let the scum get off, Newman.

Is that our man?

Come on, tell us. Yeah, that's right.

What do you have against Newman?

He didn't know Newman was a cop.

He didn't even know Newman. I wanted to commit a crime. I wanted to see if I

could get away with it.

I now know Newman's past cases better than I know my own.

I now know Newman's past girlfriends better than I know my own. Well, that

doesn't surprise me.

Hey, I thought you were going to be kind.

Yeah, but how long can that last?

About as long as Becky's engagement.

Victor, what happened?

Turns out to be if I get frozen when I die, she doesn't know she's a widow or a

wife waiting for her husband to defrost.

The courts have got to decide before Trixie will commit.

In the meantime, we've decided to see other people.

I keep looking for something we can get out of all this.

The only one who got anything out of this was Newman.

Well, he got a hell of a funeral.

Sure was.

All those cops in uniform as far as the eye could see.

Would have made Newman proud.

Do you remember?

Do you remember the bank robber?

A bank robber. There's no bank robber. There was an old man withdrawing his

account.

Wait, wait, wait. The embezzler who offered Newman a partnership when he

out of prison?

How about the hooker that promised to name her first legitimate son after

Newman?

He named him a gopher very big in his...

I wonder what Newman's doing now.

He's probably organizing a card game.

Lovely thought, Marcus.

What do you say we all go over to Flannery's and we hoist one of Newman's

honors? All right.

Yes, sir.

All right, I'll pay. I'll check.

That was all for nothing, wasn't it?

Some guy just getting his kicks.

Yeah.

I thought catching him would help.

It didn't.

I feel rotten.

And a little guilty.

Because you're alive and he's dead?

No.

I never really liked him.

But now that he's dead, I can't say that anymore.

Why would you want to?

Because I thought he was an obnoxious little twerp. Yes, we know.

But why should I lie about it?

He always irritated me, you know that.

This smart guy always throwing the fast answers, and I hated his big phony

smile, and he looked like he slept in his clothes.

And I never told him what a good cop I thought he was.

You can tell Carasa.

And Petrie and his Becky.

They need to hear it, Christine.

I'm going to Flannery's with them.

You coming?

Yeah, maybe I will.

I'll buy the first round. Make a tooth.

Yeah.

That's one way of telling the person you're going to miss them.

I said he was a good cop.

I didn't say I was going to miss him.

Yeah.

I know.
