[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]

Uh, this is Ludlow 9

requesting a ten-seven
at 1053 Woodland.

MAN [OVER RADIO]:
Roger, Ludlow 9.

Code seven, 1053 Woodland.
Out.

EASY:
Hey, Dean, go out

for a long one.

Hey, that's not bad
for a senior citizen.

Uh, senior officer,
I mean.

Well, an expectant father has
to keep in shape, bub.

Ah.

Hey, what if you and Claudia
have a girl?

Well, I figure eventually
somebody's gonna change

the sexual discrimination
in pro football.

Oh, look at this.

Would you believe this?
Oh, look, look.

Yeah, it does.

Isn't that cute.
Look at this.

It's musical.

[MELODY CHIMES]
Oh, I love it. I love it.

Thank you.
You're welcome.

WOMAN:
Charlie, it wasn't

like you think.
It wasn't!

CHARLIE:
You were down at that place

drinking with him all afternoon

and you know it!

Clumsy termites
you got here.

Yeah, I'm afraid it's Snipes,
our new neighbor.

Sounds like he's fallen
off the wagon again.

Ah, it's-- It's
apartment living.

Don't worry about it.

DANKO:
Everybody up against the wall.

This is a police raid.

Hey, what are you
doing here?

I live here.

I just stopped by
to check the shower loot.

Sweetheart, how we doing?

Good. Boy, did we collect.

Where are the footballs--?
WOMAN: No, Charlie!

CHARLIE:
I'm gonna blow his dumb

bald head off!

Is that Charlie and his wife?

All day.
Oh, boy.

WOMAN:
Put that gun away!

You'll hurt someone.
Stay here.

CHARLIE:
I've had it with you.

No, stop it!
Both of you!

Somebody lied to you, Charlie.
Don't do it!

Charlie, come back here.

Leave it alone, Charlie.
Don't do it.

Oh, no. No, he's all right.
He's just a little drunk.

Come on, lady. Just--
Please leave him alone.

Don't hurt me.
Come on, let's go.

WOMAN:
Please don't! Leave him alone!

DANKO:
Okay, hold it, Charlie.

That's far enough, Mike.
Stay right where you are.

Get back.

Come on now, Charlie.

Toss that thing on the ground.

There's too many people around.
You don't wanna hurt anybody.

No way.

Now, you stay out of this, Mike.

Okay, Charlie, that's mine.

Come on, let's have yours.

No. Now, look, this is
between me and Vera.

You stay out of this.

Oh, why, Charlie, why?

You don't want
to do this to Vera.

You got no reason.

Now, give me the gun.

All right, Mike,
that's far enough.

Now, stay right where you are.
Mister, I'm gonna count to 10,

and that rifle better be on
the ground by the time I finish

or you're gonna be breathing out
the back of your neck.

And I'm counting to 10 by fives.

Five, 10.

No! No! No, no!

Okay, Charlie,
I'm gonna have to take you in.

Come on.

DANKO:
Watch your step.

Danko, I know you're this new
breed of cop and all,

but let me give you
some advice.

A dude pointing a gun
has made a commitment to kill.

Don't ever try to disarm him
with words

unless you've made
a commitment to die.

[CAR DOOR OPENS]

GILLIS:
Hey, there he is, Terry.

The silver-tongued rookie.

Yeah, I've heard
about showboating,

but arranging
a heroic confrontation

so that it takes place
in front of your own wife,

that's a bit much, Danko.

Definitely bad form.
No doubt about it.

Oh, boy,
here it comes.

Hey, Easy, how come
you stopped that drunk

from wasting him anyway, huh?

Well, to tell you the truth,

I just didn't wanna
fill out all those forms.

[CHUCKLING]
At least the man's being honest.

Hey, aren't you boys being a
mite rough on my partner, there?

He just goofed up.
WEBSTER: Goofed up?

That ain't what they call it
at the academy.

You ought to get one of those
instructing jobs at the academy.

Well, I'll tell you,
Willie.

One rookie at a time's
about all I can handle.

That's not part
of your 20-year plan?

That's right.

And what plan's that?

It's my 20-year plan, Willie.

I'm gonna retire after 20 years,
live off the fat of the land,

and not a rookie within miles.

No, sir.

Two more years,
I'll be raising horses,

prime stock.

Teaching my baby boy
how to ride them,

and that's called "heaven,"
friends.

Sheer heaven.

You boys hang loose.

Hey, hold up, Easy.
I'll walk you out.

Hey, look, man,
about this afternoon,

I-- I don't wanna get corny,
but thanks anyway, huh?

If you're gonna get corny,
forget it.

No, I'm gonna remember it.
I owe you one.

Did you ever hear it's better
to give than to receive?

Isn't that what
the Book says?

I got some time
to give tomorrow.

Need some help
on your place?

Are you serious?
Yeah.

Yeah, well, sure.
I can always use an extra hand.

Okay, you're on.

Hey, you better
come early, though.

Claudia and me got a date
tomorrow at city hall.

What's that for?
I thought I told you.

The city's got a notion
about cutting a freeway off-ramp

right straight
through our property.

You're kidding.
No. We're protesting it.

They're talking about buying us
out and everything.

Wow. What a drag.

Well, I think
when they hear me out tomorrow,

they'll just tell
their engineers

they can take their off-ramp
and stick it someplace else.

Boy, it's a drag.
You got a good lawyer?

It's not a trial.
It's just a hearing.

Hey, listen. Why don't you
bring Jill, and, uh,

we'll have some breakfast.
Beautiful. Okay.

She can make those pancakes
you've been bragging about.

[ROMANTIC MUSIC PLAYING
OVER SPEAKERS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

Oh, excuse me.

I-- I must have
the wrong apartment.

No. Come here.

Hey.

Mwah.

I think I'll stick around.

What's going on?

That's a little midnight supper
for two.

It's an idea I picked up
from Claudia.

See, no matter what shift
Easy's on,

no matter what time
he gets home,

there are always two things
waiting for him.

Hot dinner and a loving wife,

or vice versa.

Okay. I can dig it.

But this wife happens
to be a registered nurse

who has to put in
a full shift of her own.

Which will coincide with yours
from now on

whenever it's possible.

It's all arranged
with my supervisor.

You're out of sight.

Hold me for a minute, Mike.

I love you very much.

Hey.
Hm?

Tell me something.

Does any of this have to do

with what happened
this afternoon?

Well, you know that saying,

"Today's the first day
of the rest of your life"?

Well, I guess for a cop

it could also be
the last day too,

and I don't ever want
to lose you.

So that's the reason
for the candlelight dinner

and that's why I wanted you
to hold me.

And that's why I'm gonna start
crying in about two seconds

if you don't open
that dumb wine.

Okay.

[HORSE WHINNIES]

[CAR HORN HONKS]

Hey, good morning.

Hey.
Good morning.

Ah.
How are you?

Okay.
Whoa, what's that strange smell?

Mm, that's what we call
fresh air.

Oh, yeah,
I remember that.

Hey, Jill, you think
old city-boy here

can handle a shovel?
Oh, I think he might be able to.

He used to get circus tickets
tending the elephants.

Funny, funny. She thinks
she's a comedian, right?

Come on, give me a hand.
[CHUCKLES]

Hi.
Good morning.

How are you?
Oh, just terrific.

Good.
Cooking breakfast for me.

You'd think I was an invalid
in my own home.

Oh, Claudia, come on.
When you're gonna have a baby,

it's the only time
you don't have to do a thing.

You'll still be productive.
But I feel fine.

I know you do,

but you and Easy have waited
for this baby for 13 years,

and it's important
that you preserve your strength.

Oh, you sound
just like Easy.

I have to wait
till he goes to work

before I can do my own work.

Well, he's right.

Well, I must say,
it doesn't seem much like work

after waiting all this time.

He still want a boy?

He'll take what he gets and like
it as long as it's a baby.

What's for breakfast?
I'm hungry.

I'll show you.
I found a new thing.

How was your date
with Shirley last night?

Ah, she turned out
to be a football freak.

All she wanted to do
was talk about football.

How'd it go with Brenda?

[LAUGHS]

Ah, don't tell me,
don't tell me.

You came all the way downtown
to hear a brilliant testimony

in a drunk-driving case.
Oh, we won't tell you.

You won't?
No.

Okay, I give up.

So, what are you
doing here?

We're fighting city hall.

You should've told me. I got
friends who would come down here

and help out
to keep in practice.

Come on, Easy.
We don't want to be late.

No, we gotta go.
See you later.

Okay.

Bye-bye.

Well, I hope you guys get off
with a clean sentence.

Hey, we're the arresting
officers, not the defendants.

You know what they say.
"Justice is blind."

Justice is blind.
Justice is blind.

I'm gonna write that down,
Danko.

Justice is blind.

Tell me.

Oh, I was just remembering
those statistics

about married men
living longer than bachelors.

So do sea turtles,

but I like it better
out of the shell.

COUNCILMAN 1:
In cases of eminent domain,

there are very few options
under the law.

There are any number
of reasons

why a city's need
to condemn property

can be challenged,

and one of them is inadequate
notice to the public.

However, in this case,
notice was given.

Yeah, well, that's when
I sent you the letter.

Yes, Mr. Wyatt.

I have the letter right here.

That's why you were invited
to come down here this morning

and talk to us,
because of your letter.

However, eloquence and facts
aren't the same thing,

now, are they?

Well, the fact is
the man loves his home--

Everybody loves
their home.

COUNCILMAN 1:
What my colleague

is trying to say,
Mr. Wyatt,

is that we had hopes
that you could come down here

and give us some geological
or ecological reason

why the construction
shouldn't proceed as planned.

Geological?

No, look. I mean...
don't you see?

This place has been
in my family--

COUNCILMAN 2:
Well, I for one don't know

how eloquent your letter was,
Mr. Wyatt,

but apparently it wasn't
eloquent enough

to change the facts in which the
engineers based their decision.

EASY:
Well, now, wait just a minute.

I mean, just--

I'm not trying to cause trouble
or anything,

but there must be a way
that the city--

Mr. Wyatt,

I'm-- I'm awfully sorry,

we really are,

but our time is valuable.
We're just trying--

Well, my home is valuable too.

Mr. Wyatt,
I am losing patience.

You can't just sit there
and tell me

that the city can take my house.

COUNCILMAN 2:
No one is going to take

your house, Mr.
Wyatt.

The city will buy it
at fair market value.

Well, there's only one thing,
bub.

I don't wanna sell.

COUNCILMAN 1:
I'm sorry, Mr. Wyatt.

The order of the council stands.

You will have 30 days in which
to vacate your home.

We want to thank you
for letting us hear your views.

Let's proceed now
to the next item on the agenda.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.
We're not finished here.

Please.
No, honey, they're talking

about tearing down
our house.

Mr. Wyatt, you will either
restrain yourself

or you will be removed
from these chambers.

I'm not going
till I've had my say--

No, wait--
DANKO: Now, cool it, Easy.

You're not gonna do anything
inside a jail cell.

JILL:
Come on, Easy.

Come on.
So that's it, huh?

Come on. We'll see a lawyer
about an appeal.

Where's Claudia?
She's probably in the car.

[♪♪♪]

Whoa!

EASY:
Get an ambulance.

[♪♪♪]

Anything?

WEBSTER:
Not yet.

Doesn't make any sense.

Easy went into that courtroom
without a care in the world.

Yeah, he talked like
it was all cut-and-dried.

Cut, dried, and stacked.

[SIGHS]

A guy builds himself a dream

and they bulldoze it down
for a freeway.

Yeah, there's a lot of that
going around lately.

WOMAN [OVER PA]:
Dr. Marsden, Dr. Marsden,

please report
to Surgery immediately.

[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]

Calling Dr. Westover.

Dr. Westover, please,

will you call your exchange?

Claudia's okay.

She's asleep,
but she's okay.

He said it would've been a boy.

You want some time off,
you got it.

You wanna go out and get drunk,
I'll go with ya.

What do you want, Easy?
Name it.

What I want you can't deliver,
lieutenant.

Go with him.
Stay with him.

[♪♪♪]

[MOANS]

Hey.

Hi.

How you feel?

Do you have any pain?

No, I just feel numb.

Well, you go back
to sleep.

I'll stay here.

Where's Easy?

They told him you wouldn't
be awake till morning.

Hey, Claudia,
don't worry about him.

He's a big boy.

A big, overgrown boy,

and I've killed his dream
and my own.

Hey, Claudia, now,
that was an accident.

Things went wrong.

Don't you go wrong with them.

Hm?

Mm.

How you doing, Wally?
Hi.

Uh, you wanna give us a pitcher
and four glasses?

Coming up.

Hey.

You mind
if we sit down?

Be my guest.

How you doing?

I've had better days, Willie.

Look, Easy, I...

I don't know what to say.

I guess all you can do is try
to pick up the pieces

and go from there.

And go where, Mike?

That ranch was my dad's.

I've never known another home.

Neither has Claudia,
for that matter.

Oh, what's the point
of just finding another place

so they can come along and tear
it down in the name of progress?

You gonna see a lawyer
about an appeal?

There's no appeal
in cases of eminent domain.

The city says, "I want it,"
they got it.

I'll get you another drink.
I'll do it myself.

[GLASS SHATTERS]

S-seventeen years I got in
working for this city.

I got a punctured eardrum
pulling a kid out of the lake,

a broken arm chasing
a drunk off an on-ramp.

When I go to a party,

some guy finds out I'm a cop,
he says,

"Where are you when I need you?

"And why do you beat up kids?

And why are all cops
on the take?"

Seventeen years of that.

Man, I'll tell you something.

I'm sorry I ever joined up.

I mean, I'm sorry
that I can't afford to quit,

because that's
what I wanna do is quit,

and that's what
you ought to do.

E-Easy, if anyone's got a right
to talk about a raw deal,

I guess you do.

Look,

why don't you just take time off
and, uh, get yourself together?

Yeah, just--

I don't know.

Take the money
that the city's offering and--

And try
and find a new place.

Fair market value's
better than nothing.

Tell me something, Willie.

[♪♪♪]

What's fair market value
for a son?

You had the root beer, right?
Yeah.

Well, what do you want
on your hot dog, everything?

Yeah, fine.

Yeah, two with everything
on them.

How you doing
on that sergeant exam?

A lot of studying to that?

I wouldn't know.
Huh?

I'm not taking the exam.

Man, what kind
of talk is that?

You've been waiting
a long time--

I said I'm not taking
the exam.

Is that all right with you?

[TIRES SQUEAL, HORNS HONK]

[ENGINE STARTS]

[SIREN WAILING]

Oh, wow.

♪ Bummer ♪

All right,
let's have your license.

I'm sorry, officer.

I-- I didn't see
that sign or that guy

until it was too late.

You didn't see
your speedometer either.

I made you 55
in a 25-mile-an-hour zone.

Now, let's have your license.
I'm not gonna tell you again.

It's quite a machine
you got yourself here, son.

If you're gonna drive it,

you'd better learn
how to handle it.

Yes, sir. I got a little fat
on that last corner.

A little fat?

Even if you hadn't seen that
stop sign, you know better

than to overshoot
an intersection.

You could've killed that guy.

EASY:
Is this your current address?

Yes, sir, it is.

Look, give me a break,
will you?

This'll mean my license

and I need it
for after-school deliveries.

You got any proof of that job?

Yes, Call Mr. Wexler
at my store.

He'll verify I make deliveries
every afternoon.

All right, you wanna sign this?

If you don't,
I have to haul you in.

Maybe what they say
about you guys is true.

Come on, man, let's split before
they bust us for breathing.

Thank you, officer.

Oink, oink.

You little punk.

Easy, cool it!

Now, get moving,
both of you.

[ENGINE STARTS]

Hey, look, Easy,
I know the kid was wrong,

but that's no reason--
I got 17 years seniority

and I don't need lectures
from rookies. You got that?

Yeah, I got it.

[ENGINE STARTS]

And then we started to walk off
and kid said something to Easy.

I don't know what he said.

It would've been his career
right down the drain

if he'd hit that kid,
and he would've hit him too.

Doesn't sound like Easy.

I shouldn't have put him up
on such a pedestal.

It's just I thought
he had it all together.

Well, Mike,
sometimes hero worship's

best conducted at a distance.

Yeah, well,
he'll get it together.

What, you don't think so?

Well, it's just that I remember
one time when I was in school

we put on this funny
kind of variety show,

and I wasn't in it,

but I was in charge
of the lights backstage.

One afternoon when I came in
for rehearsal,

there was a spider.

He'd built a web in the light
board and I had to tear it down,

and he built it up again
and I had to tear it down again,

and he'd build it again
and I tore it down again.

It went on and on like that.

Then, uh,

after a long time I--

I noticed that the web wasn't
even and proportioned anymore.

You know, it was kind
of twisted and off-balance,

and by the time we finally
did the show,

it wasn't-- It wasn't even
like a web at all.

It was a few strands here
and a little ball there and...

Well, I don't know that he ever
built a proper web again, Mike.

What are you trying to say,
that I should report him?

He's a good cop, Jill.

He's the best cop
in the precinct.

What would Easy have done
a week ago

if you had almost hit somebody?

I don't know.

I can't turn him in, Jill.
He saved my life.

RYKER:
So he saved your life.

As his partner, you were still
responsible to let me know

if he got out of line.

Aren't you overreacting,
lieutenant?

Easy got rough with a couple
of teenagers

and their parents complained.

I know that's important, but--
He also got rough

with a member
of the planning commission.

When was this?
This morning.

He busted into
the commissioner's office

and he ordered him
to reroute the freeway.

You know who the planning
commissioner called?

He called
the police commissioner.

You know who the police
commissioner called?

Okay, I get the message.

No, you just get part
of the message.

The rest is that I hold you
partially responsible

because you and your infinite
wisdom did not trust me.

Look, he's my friend,
he's my partner.

He was your partner.
Effective immediately,

you're transferred to Traffic
Control. You're dismissed.

What about Easy?

What happens to him?

He is on desk duty
until I say otherwise,

which means
until I am satisfied

he's gotten
his head on straight.

That's gonna go down hard
with Easy,

and he's had enough
hard things lately.

Emotional cops do not belong
on the street, Danko,

and there are those who feel
they do not belong on the force.

Now, get out of here.

[♪♪♪]

[DOOR CLOSES]

What do you got?

Pawnshop over
on Drummond Road.

Kid tried to hock this.

The owner started asking
questions. The kid took off.

He figures
this had to be stolen.

Well, we'll see soon enough.

What's the serial number?

Uh, 605786.

Claudia home yet?

Yeah, yesterday.

Is she feeling all right?

Fine.

Hey, Easy, uh, don't you get
hoarse talking all the time?

Well, I tell you,
if I was to start talking,

I'd probably just
bore you to death

telling you about
all the exciting things

happening on the job here.

You know,
checking serial numbers,

keeping records straight.
Yeah, Mike's the same way.

He's really turned on
about directing traffic

out in the boondocks.

You two ought to get together,

compare notes.

Stolen from Lasalle's Appliances
last week.

Congratulations, men.
You've done it again.

Well, we'll just put
another notch

in our crime-fighter badge.
Best to you and Claudia, Easy.

Yeah.

Hey, uh...

where did you say
they got Mike located?

Out by the amusement park.
Why?

That don't even open up
for another month.

Yeah, Mike says it's not the
busiest intersection in town.

Welcome to the club.

[♪♪♪]

I thought you said
you were coming to bed.

As soon as I finish
my drink.

You've been doing a lot of
drinking tonight, haven't you?

I feel like it.

Oh, my darling, we've...

We've got to stop looking back.

[SIGHS]

You know,

we have a great deal
to be thankful for.

Like what?

Like each other.

I love this house.

I'm very grateful for
the happiness it's brought us.

But what's to prevent us from
being happy in some other house?

But you love this house.

I love whatever it takes to put
things back the way they were.

I want us to be happy.

Why can't we pretend
we've just gotten married

and we're starting out
all over again?

Those were good times,
weren't they?

A long time ago.

I remember you used to say

the secret of getting ahead
is getting started.

Let's get started again.

Where do we start?

Well, you patch things up
with Mike,

and let's find a realtor

so we can make
some moving plans.

Okay.

[♪♪♪]

What's the matter? Don't you get
enough exercise out there

dodging that traffic?

[LAUGHS]

Yeah, about as much as you
dodging that desk, I guess.

That ain't very much.

How you been?

Oh, I can't kick.
What about you?

Okay.

Listen, I haven't been acting
myself lately.

Hope there are no hard feelings.

No, it's just good to see you.

Same here.

You off tomorrow?

Yeah.

Claudia and I are gonna go look
for a new place.

You and Jill
wanna tag along?

Sure.

What time?

Well, why don't you come
around 9:00.

We'll have
some breakfast, okay?

Sounds good to me.

Uh, say, Mike,

I thought I'd pick my shot,

ask Ryker about us
being partners again.

Is that all right
with you?

Yeah, that's okay with me,
partner.

Okay.

Hang loose.

[CHUCKLES]

Okay.

Hey, what's happening
up there?

CLAUDIA:
We're coming.

We gotta go, honey. We're gonna
be late at the realtors.

Okay, what kind of house
you gonna look for?

I don't know. Something
that looks like a jillion,

sells for two bits.
CLAUDIA: Oh, Easy.

Who's that?

I don't know.

Something I can do
for you?

Yeah, one of you Mr. Wyatt?

Yeah, I am.
Oh, Jack Barnes.

Barnes Construction Company.

My firm is building the road
that's going through here.

When are you moving out?

Well, we haven't picked
a time yet.

Well, the sooner the better,
of course.

I have to clear this house out

so we can get
our heavy machinery through.

You're also clearing out
my flower bed.

You mind watching
where you're stepping?

Uh-- Oh, I'm sorry, but what's
the difference, ma'am?

These are gonna have to go too.

EASY:
Look, Mr. Barnes, uh,

this property
still belongs to us.

Now, if you wanna check things,

you just play by our rules,
okay?

Well, okay, Clem.

Hey, the name's not Clem,
and I think you best be going.

Well, I'm not finished here.
Yeah, you're finished.

Now, don't get your nose out
of joint. I'm just doing a job.

Yeah, well, you can do your job
after we've moved.

Don't get nasty,
Mr. Wyatt.

Get off my land or I'm gonna
have to throw you off.

BARNES:
Uh, Mr. Wyatt,

would you mind just stop
trying to be a big man

just to impress
these two broads here?

Too late!
Now, get in the car.

You, split. You heard me?
I said, split.

Now, move it!

I've got some special plans
for you, Clem.

We'll be in touch.

Yeah, that's him.

I want to file a complaint.

Assault and battery.

What about it, Easy?

I hit him.

If he hadn't,
I would have.

I was just doing my job.

That's a crock.

RYKER:
All right, Danko,

I'll handle this.

Mr. Barnes, what if
Officer Wyatt apologizes?

Will that square things?

Oh, you boys in blue, you really
stick together, don't you?

I get it.

No, you don't get it.

Seems to me Officer Wyatt
was provoked.

Look, mac, I came in
to file a complaint.

Suddenly I'm the heavy?
Do you know what happens to him

if you file a complaint?
That's not my concern.

Look, Mr. Barnes--
Mike, don't beg, will you?

Do I sign it or not?

Do you insist?

That's right, mac,
I insist.

All right, Danko,
you can go.

[CLEARS THROAT]

You have the right
to remain silent.

You have the right to have
an attorney present

during questioning.

If you cannot afford
an attorney,

one will be appointed
for you.

Anything you say can
and will be used against you.

CLAUDIA:
I was afraid

of something like this.

What happens now?

He'll be arraigned
in the morning

and then released
on his own recognizance.

Can I see him?

He doesn't want you
to see him, Claudia.

Not while he's in jail.

How he must hurt now.

Look, why don't you grab
a toothbrush

and come on over
to our place?

Easy suggested it.

Come on.
All right.

I'll tell you what, man.

Let's go by, get the girls,
and have some breakfast.

And grab your stuff
at the station later.

No, just drop me off
at the station.

Claudia's pretty anxious
to see you, man.

Yeah, well, tell her I--
I'll be by later.

I just gotta pick up my truck,
take care of some things.

I think she's made
an appointment with a realtor.

Well, she can cancel.

You mean postpone it.
I mean, cancel it.

Oh, look, Easy--
Look, pal,

I'm suspended.

Now, by the time my trial
is over, I'll be off the force.

You don't buy new farms
with unemployment insurance.

Do you wanna drop me off
at the station or don't you?

Sure. It's your ball game.

Well, let's go.

I'm sorry I had to be
the one to book you.

I really felt bad
about that, you know?

It's a booking officer's job,
Gomez. I know that.

Hey, don't sweat it.

Thanks, Easy.

Listen, I gotta take
these warrants upstairs.

Stick around. I'll buy you
a cup of coffee.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[♪♪♪]

I thought I told you
to take down this gate.

Have the people moved out?

I didn't say
take down the house.

I said take down the gate.

Now, I've got a completion date
on this job

and I've got to get
my heavy equipment through.

Now, get on it.

[GUNSHOTS]

All right, now, get outta here.
Both of you.

Well, this time you're really
in trouble, Clem.

[♪♪♪]

[ENGINE STARTS]

His resignation?
He left it in my mail slot.

He's got himself convicted
and kicked off the force

even before his trial begins.

Any of you talk
to him today?

Not since I dropped him
off here this morning.

He was supposed to pick up
Claudia at our place

and he never showed.

All right,
get ready for roll call.

You mean, that's it?

You're gonna accept
his resignation?

What alternative do I have?

You could try
and talk him out of it.

Yeah, you just gonna
let him walk off?

I can't talk him out
of something until I find him,

and I can't find him
until I finish roll call.

So would you mind
getting in there now?

[DOOR CLOSES]

[RINGS]

Hello?

[OVER PHONE]
It's Easy, Jill.

Is Claudia there?

Yep, she's here.
She's worried sick.

It's him.

Easy, where are you?

I'm home.

But you were supposed
to pick me up hours ago.

Yeah, well, I had some, uh,
thinking I had to do, honey.

Listen,

I want you to stay put
for a while, okay?

Why?

Because I said so.

Darling,
is everything all right?

Everything's fine.

I just want you to stay put,
okay?

Easy...

I love you, honey.

[DIAL TONE HUMMING]

MAN:
Right.

Right, well,
we'll put somebody right on it.

[HANGS UP PHONE]
Lieutenant?

What?

Lieutenant, we just got
something on Easy Wyatt.

What? What is it?

Well, I don't think
you're gonna like it.

[TIRES SQUEALING]

RYKER [OVER LOUDSPEAKER]:
Easy?

Easy Wyatt, are you in there?

Easy, this is Lieutenant Ryker.

Come on, Easy, let's talk.

Maybe he's not in there.

Ah, he should be so lucky.

Easy, if you are in there,
come on out now.

I'm staying put, Eddie.

RYKER:
Why? That's stupid.

Come on out. Let's talk.

EASY:
I've done all my talking.

He's got a rifle.
I can see it.

You're gonna have to blast him
out of there.

Get that man out of there.

Come on, get out of here.

Get back there
and stay there.

Ryker said he took
a gas mask too, huh?

Yeah. Easy hasn't left us
any pleasant options.

Now, let's see what happens.

RYKER:
Oh, this is crazy, Wyatt.

Come out of that house.
That's an order.

I don't take orders anymore,
lieutenant.

Didn't you read
my resignation?

RYKER:
Why, Easy? Why?

Why not, Eddie?

How much pushing can
a guy take?

Easy, I'm coming in.

Now you're being stupid!

You won't make it
to the porch.

Stay where you are, Eddie!

[♪♪♪]

Don't make me do it, Eddie.

Get out of here, Mike.

No. I'm staying.

Go on, Mike.
Get out of here.

If I walk out, Easy,
it's a round trip,

because sooner or later
they'll come in after you.

Mike, I gotta-- I gotta
make a stand someplace.

I mean, they stripped me
of every dream I ever had.

My son, my home, my job,
everything.

Not everything.

You're still alive.

Now they're working on that.

Well, I'm not gonna let you
do it, man.

Get out of here.
I'm gonna do what I want.

What you want?

You haven't even considered
what anybody else might want.

Well, if you want
to bail out on Claudia,

man, that's your business.

But I'm not gonna let you
bail out and me and Jill.

This has got nothing to do
with you and Jill.

Oh, you think not?

Well, think again, bub.

I had you so built up
in my head,

there wasn't anything
you could do wrong.

I guess I thought you
and Claudia were just about

the greatest people
I'd ever met.

Well, what do I say
to Jill tonight?

What do I tell her when we leave
the morgue where you're laid out

like frozen salami?

Man, you shouldn't
have counted on me so much.

Well, you're
a little late.

We did count,
and now Jill's gonna wanna know

if this is what being
a policeman does to a guy.

Well, what do I tell her, Easy?

What do I say?

Mike, don't do that.

I'm not gonna make it
that simple for you, man.

Either you hand me that gun,
or shoot me.

[♪♪♪]

Fielder's choice, Easy.

Thanks, partner.

Now, didn't I tell you...

never to try to talk a dude
out of a loaded gun?

What do you expect
from a rookie?

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[LAUGHTER]

Here, it's your party.
You open it.

Hey.

I guess being free
isn't as soft as I thought.

Well, a man who has to see
a probation officer once a week

and a psychiatrist
twice a week, and--

And owes for a bulldozer engine,
I can hardly call him free.

Well, especially
if he's married to you.

[LAUGHING]
Oh, stop.

[GRUNTS]
[POPS]

JILL:
Oh, wow!

[ALL LAUGH]

Buddy.

Hey, just in time.

Just in time.
ALL: Hey.

Yes, got all the stuff there,
but not enough glasses.

DANKO:
Pull up a few more chairs,

we'll have a party.

WEBSTER:
Okay.

Wally, you gotta do something
about those stairs.

Gotta do something about
those stairs. How are you?

How are you? How are you?
ALL: Hey. Hi.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Would you like
to sit?

Hi. Hi.
Would you like to sit?

WEBSTER:
All right.

Hey, Wally?

Listen, the last time
I was in here I broke a glass.

What do I owe you?

Oh, Mike paid for it, Easy.

You owe him.

I sure do, bub.
