No. Not bad.

6 Adam 47, no water boards on 491 Adam
Paul Adams.

That's 6 Adam 47. Roger.

Kick them loose. They're clean.

Thank you for your time. You're free to
go.

I'll tell you where you can go to.

What'd you say?

Nothing, man. Get out of the car.

What? I said get out of the car.

Spread them.

Spread them. Don't move. You move, I get
nervous.

You're a dangerous man.

No,

I didn't say nothing.

You didn't say anything threatening.

No, man.

No, you were just being polite to
Officer Ramirez for his courtesy.

Yeah, like that, man.

Man? No, officer. We are officers.

Officer.

I think you said something else,
something private.

You want to find a place where you and I
can talk in private? No, no, that's

okay. I think maybe what you might have
said was thank you, officer, for your

courtesy. Have a nice day.

Yeah, yeah, like that, like goodbye.
Well, good. I'm glad we had a chance to

talk. I'm glad you had a chance to be
heard.

Thank you, officer, for your courtesy.

Have a nice day.

Yeah, thank you for your courtesy,
officer, and have a nice day.

I don't believe that.

It'd be a while before that garbage bad
-mouthed another cop.

That citizen could roll into the nearest
station and beep you.

What am I supposed to say when Internal
Affairs asks me what went down out here?

Hey, Digby.

Hey, Digby, how's my man?

How many dudes you blow away today?

Six, but I just started my shift.

You one bad bull.

Hope you're not around if I mess up.

Then don't mess up. Okay.

Later, Stacy.

Later, Digby.

Stacy, I keep working with you, I'm
going to get sucked right into one of

beaks.

You've got your time in.

You can pull the pin. Me, I'm out of a
job.

You mean for Maddie.

I think... I think maybe I'll ask the
watch commander for a new partner.

Well, it won't be a new experience for
him.

Come on, we're behind schedule. Those
drags on Thelma will be wondering why I

haven't been by yet.

We wouldn't want to disappoint them.

All units, all units in vicinity, please
respond.

Possible 211 sits in Snyder. Silent
alarm.

Pick that one up.

Hurry up!

Give me the money.

Now. Get it.

Hurry up.

You get the alarm?

No, man. No. No.

Don't.

That's right.

Just keep that gun trained on me, just
like that.

You turn away from me, take that gun off
me for a second.

I'm going to pull out my gun and shoot
you dead.

Move away, lady.

Don't!

I just told you to keep that gun on me.

You give me a chance?

We meet on the table.

There's a drain at the end of it.

I can kill you where you stand.

I can kill you and you won't even
realize you turned away.

Here, lady.

No! Did you hear me?

Dead.

Dead if you turn away.

You give me a chance, and St. Peter's
gonna have to send down his shuttle.

Come on, lady.

Ramirez!

Take her.

Don't!

Don't give me that chance.

I will not miss.

You will die.

Die right there.

They'll be taping a ribbon on the
outline of your body right there.

I will absolutely kill you.

I will kill you.

I will kill you.

Don't look away.

Look away, you die.

You won't even feel it.

It'll just be.

I'm going to give you until the count of
four.

Give me the gun.

We should head in and write this up.

You want me to drive?

I was about to ask you the same thing.

Did you

hear

the board came in on the Donald case?

We didn't fire him.

He did it to himself.

Cop or not, you step outside the bounds,
you pay the price. That's it.

But why is it eating at? This whole
internal affairs trip is driving me

And I'm really tired of snooping on guys
I went to the academy with.

And then them turning around and
treating me like a leper.

Hey, loosen up.

You police the police. Someone's got to
do it.

Yeah, but I don't know how I let them
talk me into it. Like the rest of us. IA

duty is a good career move. Hey, it's a
two -year hit.

You can take anything for two years.

Two years.

Two years of being called the
headhunter. Terrific, Stan.

We're investigators, that's all. We
gather the facts.

Someone else rolls the heads. If the
facts say the heads should roll.

We've saved a few along the way, too.

Nice pep talk, Stan.

Straight out of the manual.

Really believe any of that stuff?

If I didn't, I wouldn't be here.

Look at him.

He's scared to death. We haven't even
asked him a question yet.

Tim Burke?

I mean, I wasn't going to shoot anybody.

I just, uh...

I said all the words.

I was just, you know... I was just
trying to get through, right?

I just... Nothing that I could do would,
uh... I mean, I know it was wrong.

You just, you know... You guys... You
don't know what it's like.

Excuse me.

Can I get anyone some coffee?

Nance, could you...

Please wait in the other room, like I
asked you.

Please.

Listen, it wasn't Tim's fault. It was
mine. All mine. And you're treating him

unfairly. And it's not right. It's okay.
It's not right.

It's... It's okay.

Excuse me a second.

This is none of the department's
business.

It stinks.

That's no professional to show human
emotion.

Forget it.

We're just trying to do our job.

Okay?

Yeah.

Well, they could have my job for this.

What did Briggs tell you?

He said your wife is an alcoholic.

You were having a fight about it.

He also said you accosted her at the
Slumberland Motel.

And that you threatened her with your
gun.

Well, about two years ago, we lost a
baby.

And, uh, Nance... Well, at first, you
know, little Brandy would relax her.

But then, you know, it got out of hand.

And we went to the doctor about it, and
we went to the church about it.

And, um, we'd talk, and she'd promise.

In the last six, eight months, she'd be
gone days.

You know, I'd get calls.

One of my black and whites would pick
her up just wandering around. Or the

at some motel.

Wanting to know what to do with her.

After some guy just dumped her.

Was that why you were at the motel that
day?

Yeah.

Why the gun?

Well, when I got there, she didn't even
know me, you know.

She, uh... She started grabbing me and
begging for a

drink.

telling me all the things that she was
going to do, you know, anything for this

drink.

And... I

don't

know. I just, you know, I put my gun
under her chin and I told her that she

would be better off dead than the way
that she was.

I just didn't have any more words.

Hey, Stace.

Back there, you were scared, weren't
you?

Sure. You think I'm crazy?

Well, yeah. A couple minutes, I thought.

If you were.

Hey, Dominic!

Pull over here.

Hey, Stace, you're late today.

Hey, Dominic. Lost in a punk.

Just got him in.

Papayas. I don't get these too often.

Tell me what you think.

They look pretty good.

Appreciate it.

Let me know what you think. I'll set you
some aside tomorrow, huh?

Thanks. See you then.

I swear he clocked me coming around that
corner.

What's the story?

It was about a year ago. A couple of
punks were doing a Mexican hat dance on

head until I got there and got on a
piece of my own.

Should have been there.

money, baby.

What? Let's check him over.

This is Adam 647. Put us on code 6
Eastern and 3rd.

You said you'd make another 20.

Got yourself a trick, huh?

Huh, Lily?

Get out of here!

You're sewer slime. I don't even want to
see you around here again, ever. This

isn't the street you did!

Lily's rocked outside, not here! Now get
out, you figure! Don't fight!

Get out or I'll kill you!

I'll kill you! I'll kill you!

I'll kill you!

You better get used to it.

Up and at them, Lily.

Go.

I'll get you.

If it's the last thing I do, I'm going
to see you in hell. None of your

what I do.

Shut up and get in.

Hello, Jake.

Doesn't matter. I got what I wanted.

Well, who was he? Or better, why was he
chasing you? I didn't find a thing. It

was always Tim.

What's the charge?

I'll come up with something. Come on.

Stand still now.

Right there.

Smile pretty, sweet.

All right, Lily, pick it up.

Now look, darling, you're going to get
Fred.

And if we hassle, you're going to get
that mascara smudged.

Maybe break a nail.

But, um... Lily Pantages?

The one and only.

Bivens IAD. I understand you want to
make a complaint.

Yeah. I got a beef.

For a brute cop by the name of Chick
Stacy.

Pine and Draper, Adam 39.

This is very nice.

We've got a frustrated aircraft designer
amongst us.

Would anybody like to claim it?

No?

So much for children's hour.

Adams and Ray.

Six Adams, 21.

Fortune.

Kowalski. You're on 35.

Nice you could join us, Stacy.

I thought so too, Sarge.

Ramirez. Yes, sir. You're on 47 with
Baxter.

Jefferson and Frank. Six Adams, 63.

New partner, huh?

Ask and you shall receive.

Well, that's the way it goes sometimes,
huh?

Stacy! Yo!

You're in a one -man car tonight.

Six Lima One.

Six Lima One. You got it.

Okay, are there any questions?

Then let's hit the field.

Stacy.

Look, for the record, I told the watch
community we had a person out, but...

bad.

You might have learned how to do some
righteous police work.

Stace. Wait up just a second.

I want to talk to you.

What's up, Sarge?

I put you on that L car for a reason.
We've got company for you, and I figure

you're going to be tied up at least half
the watch.

What company?

That prostitute you busted, Lily.

She beefed you, chick.

I .A. is downstairs.

Can you give me one hint?

Why, you can't at least try to prevent
some of these beefs.

Your package is as thick as the
Metropolitan Yellow Pages.

Then quit taking them.

It's a waste of paper to listen to those
gutter crawlers.

You're still living in a dark age,
Estes.

There's no more running them out of town
by sundown.

Remember that the gutter crawlers got
the same rights as the upstanding

citizens.

And maybe these beefs will stop pouring
in here.

Well, I apologize for not seeing the new
lights, Sarge, but just look at the

facts.

My beat is clean, not like the rest of
the garbage pile.

I'm going to keep it that way.

Bivens. The trolley.

Haven't we danced this dance before?

Yeah.

Sit on stage.

Know what this is about?

Julie told me it's about the hooker I
busted yesterday.

You want to take it from the top? There
isn't much to it. I was on a routine

patrol. I see this Monty Fontaine
floating out of a building.

That's the lady's pimp. Two and two said
he delivered a trick. He disappeared in

a smog.

I nailed her.

End of story.

Lily alleges excessive force.

Is that all you guys have on me?

I used only that force necessary to
bring her into custody.

Now, that is getting to be a pretty
stale description, Stacy.

Well, that's the way it came down.

Now, are you going to believe that
scuzz?

Are you going to believe a police
officer who's trying to keep his street

Hey, don't you wave the flag at us. We
know better, and so do you.

I deny excessive force.

Now, if you guys had any evidence or any
witnesses...

You would have come down on me before
now.

So since you boys are through... Sit
still, Stacy.

We'll talk about what you didn't have.

Probable cause to check out Lily.

Bivens.

You're a lawyer now, huh?

Spotting her pimp isn't enough.

The door to Lily's apartment says it was
crashed into.

That's excessive force. No knock and
notice.

844 of the penal code. Again, for the
court.

I nailed her, didn't I?

That wasn't even close to a righteous
bust.

The city attorney wouldn't file if we
had to let her go.

There's always a next time.

Which brings us to Lily's next charge.

Harassment.

When Lily stops breaking the law, I'll
stop doing my job. Damn it! You knew

there was no way this could ever stand
up in court.

You just figured if you busted Lily's
chops long enough, she'd go do business

someplace else.

And wouldn't that be a shame?

Oh, Stacy, come on. You know you've only
got a little bit of time until your 30

years are up.

Why don't you put your feet up on a desk
and relax a little bit till your time's

in? Because the streets are what I do.

And even you turkeys know that's how it
has to be done.

We're going to have to talk to Lily
again.

If there's anything in what she says,
the report will pass on to the captain.

guarantee you he'll give you a choice, a
desk or suspension.

Suspension for Lily?

If that ever happens, you'll really see
me come through some doors.

Have a nice day.

Hey, don't look so down.

It stays our little secret. Come on,
baby. I know how to make you smile.

Felt bad about forcing it, baby.

But when you said you didn't want to see
me anymore, well, a girl's got to live.

Ain't like blackmail.

This way I don't have to work, and you
get to keep me all to yourself.

You worried about that faint cop, Stacy?

No. He won't be here till night.

I keep track of him now.

You know...

The story will continue in a moment.

You the Sergeant Briggs that made out
the complaint against Tim Burke?

That depends on who I'm talking to.

From IAD, we're handling.

Sure.

Yes, that kind of conduct.

I made it right out.

Why? Why what?

Why'd you burn him?

Why didn't you just give him a transfer
and forget about it? The guy's trying to

hang close to home, help out his wife.
She's been sober since it happened. They

just hit a low point.

They're getting her help. They're
working it out, man.

He committed a thought.

If I handle something like that
informally, I can forget about my next

promotion.

Well, can you weigh up the ladder,
Bruce? Hey, I don't need to take that

garbage, especially from you.

I mean, what else are you doing in IA
but trying to make rank, huh?

That's right.

That's what we do.

What is it, 20 heads and you trade them
in for a set of silver bars?

Is that in a Captain Marvel decoder
ring?

You're here alone? You don't have any
family?

You have business in this neighborhood?

I'm not doing anything. They're breaking
some law.

Well, maybe not.

But then again...

Tell you what. Yes, officer.

I'll give you a choice.

You can either walk away, like right
now, or you can crawl away and be out of

business for the next month.

You pick.

What's the rumble? Everybody's talking
like Stacy's got it in the fat.

He's saying he took Lily out after she
tried to snipe him. Yeah? So what about

it? There's no gun.

What? No gun. Can't find a piece.

Chief Powers, do you think you'll be
able to give us any information on what

happened here tonight? There's rumors
that there was an unauthorized... Okay.

Right now, I know as much as you do.

Nothing. If the officer that was
involved in the crime will have a

All right, come on, Stacy.

What was that?

Chief, I told the shooting team. I'll
tell you.

This thing is getting blown way out of
shape.

They told me the girl beefed you
yesterday.

That's right.

And she also shot at me an hour ago.

Now, they just have to keep on digging.
There's a gun. Chief, there has to be a

gun.

I'm having two detectives drive you to
the station.

Then what?

You'll be relieved from duty, pending
the investigation.

Stacy, can you tell us what happened?

Word is you have a bit of a heavy hand.
Is that true? What'd you say?

Well, according to the neighbors...

Why

is it I'm nervous?

Oh, I don't know.

Maybe it's because of our big headhunter
reputation.

It's all image, Dave.

What he's saying is we don't really
bite.

I hear you're talking to the guys at the
division about Stacy.

Why? Isn't the DA handling the
investigation?

Well, we've been asked to help out on a
small part of the overall picture.

So we'll be concerned with Stacy's job
performance. That's what we're asking

about.

His beat was clean. Crime was down.

You worked with him, Dave. What kind of
guy was he?

I'm not sure I have the right to answer
that question.

Look, I know Stacy's in deep, and I know
the DA hasn't made a decision yet. What

I think or what I don't think shouldn't
have anything to do with it.

Well, the DA thinks it does, Ramirez.

Or we wouldn't be asking.

A lot of the troops we've had marching
in and out of here, they say that you

didn't have any deep love for Stacy.

Okay, but there are a lot of people I
work with I'm not going to rave about,

know? Specifically, why did you dislike
him? Yeah, I didn't dislike the guy.

Just his style and mine were different,
that's all.

But I've only been on the force a little
over a year. Maybe a little more

experience would have understood him
better.

Understood what?

His methods?

I guess.

Specifically?

All right.

Sometimes he was heavy -handed.

I guess times changed and Stacy didn't
want to change with him, so he found

other ways to keep his beat clean.

And it was those other ways that turned
you off.

But he had a feeling for people. If you
were straight, he was straight.

It's all out of that side to him, too.

But not enough to change your mind about
him, huh?

Devin, Charlie.

Who gave you guys the authority to go to
the

police psychiatrist in the Burt case?

I thought it was a necessary part of the
investigation, Lieutenant.

You did, didn't you?

Officer Burke is considered stable.

Under traumatic personal circumstances,
he exhibited a moment of aberrant

behavior. His subsequent approach to his
problems indicate an aberrant level of

maturity and a fitness to duty.

Well, without the embroidery, that's
what I thought, too.

Now we got an expert to verify it. That
is a decision for the brass. They decide

that he goes to a shrink.

If, just if, they wanted to get this
character fired for a lot of reasons you

may know nothing about.

You made it just a little more difficult
for them.

Well, they got all the facts to make a
decision.

No. They've got the investigative facts
and a shrink's opinion.

You got them stuck if they want to make
a move.

Do me a favor.

Hmm?

Stick to the Stacy case.

Don't go off on any more tangents.

See?

See what... playing white knight around
here does for you?

Maybe we save the kid's job.

Oh, you think he's got to thank you for
it?

No way, pal.

He's got to thank the shrink. You are
still the headhunter.

Hey, Stacy, how you doing?

Well, I guess I need a rest, huh?

You know Baxter?

Yeah, sure, Baxter.

I'm kind of surprised seeing you.

Well, I got suspended, but my bills
continue. I got business with a credit

union. I thought you'd be out living the
good life, getting in some golf.

I don't know how to play golf. Maybe
after this Mickey Mouse stuff is over,

learn.

Yourself?

Well, you know, I mean, fight and fight.

We got a rule?

Yeah, I guess... Good to see you, babe.

Yeah, you too.

He'll see you soon, huh? Yeah, see you
soon.

Hey.

It's all going to turn out okay.

Yeah, sure.

A guy like that has a job. What does he
do?

God knows.

Right now, our side of chief power is
off.

I don't give a damn how loud the press
is screaming. You have got to give it a

full investigation.

What do you think we've been doing for
the past month, Dave?

You still haven't found that pimp, Monty
Fontaine. No, but the street word is he

left town after Lily's death. Stacy
thinks he's important to us. Important

Stacy can't tell us why he's important.
Only the fact that he was Lily's pimp.

It means no one was closer to her than
Monty.

He might have answers if we ask the
right questions.

It doesn't make a defense.

I still think you're being premature.

You're moving too fast. Too fast?

My phone doesn't stop ringing. We have a
body with two of Stacy's bullets in it.

Absolutely no way to show self -defense
and everything in the world to give him

motive. Now you show me some other areas
to look in and I'll be more than happy

to do it.

Right now I can't come up with any.

Well, neither can I.

A little quiet, if you will. Do you have
a statement for us?

The district attorney's office, in
cooperation with the police department,

completed a thorough investigation.

It has been established that there does
exist sufficient evidence to file a

criminal complaint against Officer
Charles Stacy and the shooting death of

Pantages. He will be charged with murder
in the first degree.

So quiet, please.

Sergeant Bivens, do you recall meeting
with Lily Pantages approximately three

months ago on the third day of April?

Yes, I do, ma 'am. And what was the
substance of that conversation?

She alleged misconduct by Officer
Stacey.

What form of misconduct?

Exceptive force, illegal entry,
harassment.

And did you subsequently investigate
these complaints?

Yes, ma 'am. What did you find?

There was physical evidence of forced
entry. Have there been other complaints

against Officer Stacy?

Yes, ma 'am.

How many? Two?

Three?

Eleven. Eleven.

Thank you.

Officer Bivens.

Is it true that suspects often complain
against an arresting officer? Yes, sir.

So that a particularly effective officer
might, as a matter of course,

accumulate more complaints than another
officer. Is that not so?

Well... In terms of his record, would
you term Officer Stacy an effective

officer? I have to say yes, absolutely.

Very effective.

Thank you, Officer Bibbins.

You may step down.

In what manner did Officer Stacy
threaten you? With his night tickets

He made it very clear.

I either left the neighborhood
immediately or he would have used his

me. In other words, it was obvious he
didn't want you hanging around. Correct.

I can see why now.

He didn't want any witnesses when he
killed that poor girl.

I object.

Sustained. The last remark will be
stricken from the record.

The jury will disregard the last
statement.

I have no further questions to ask this
witness, Your Honor.

State your name, please. Ralph Thomas.

And you are an investigator for the
district attorney's office?

Yes, ma 'am.

You testified that you investigated
Officer Stacy's assertion of a self

situation. Yes, ma 'am.

Officer Stacy insisted that three shots
were fired at him from the upstairs

window.

Naturally, we look for a gun.

Naturally.

Did you find a gun?

Any evidence of a gun shell casing? We
did a thorough search with

No slugs in the area.

Any evidence of bullet fragments in the
street, in the area where Officer Stacy

says he was standing?

No, ma 'am. No.

And yet Officer Stacy says that Lily
fired at him.

Isn't there some sort of test that will
detect whether or not a person has fired

a gun?

Yes, ma 'am. A paraffin test.

The skin of the hand is impregnated with
nitrates from the gunpowder.

and we can detect these nitrates.

Was such a test performed on the body of
Lily Pantager?

Yes, ma 'am.

As far as we can determine, Lily could
not have fired any gun.

Thank you.

Investigator Thomas, did you consider
that a second party may have been in the

room at the time and took the gun?

Yes, sir, but we could not determine
that.

But could there have been a second party
in that room?

If there was, none of the neighbors saw
him.

Well, I assume you checked the room
thoroughly for fingerprints and the

The room saw heavy traffic, sir. The
only lifts we got were bits and pieces

lilies. But you did find fingerprints.

Then there could have been a second
party in that room.

It's possible.

Now, Officer Stacy insists that three
shots were fired at him. You question

neighbors? All they said, sir, was a lot
of shots. And how many shots were fired

by Officer Stacy?

Three.

Couldn't most people remember three
shots?

And save the term a lot, per se.

Six.

Nothing further, Your Honor.

The witness may step down.

Miss Willis?

The people call Officer Dave Ramirez.

Do you swear the testimony you're about
to give is the truth, the whole truth,

nothing but the truth, so help you God?

I do.

Now, as I understand it, Officer
Ramirez, you were transferred to the

Division in March of this year?

That's correct.

With whom were you assigned?

Officer Stacy.

The defendant?

Yes, ma 'am.

Were you satisfied working with Officer
Stacy?

Yes or no, Officer Ramirez, were you
satisfied working with Officer Stacy?

No, ma 'am. No.

In point of fact, you asked for a change
of partners, did you not?

Yes, ma 'am.

Could you tell the court why you asked
for the change?

I assume you know that you were not the
first of Officer Stacy's partners to

make such a request.

Would you tell us why you did?

Excuse me, miss.

Stacy seemed to know you.

Is that so?

I'm sorry. I'm an investigator on the
case.

Is there anything that... No.

I don't have anything to do with his
trouble.

I don't understand.

There's nothing to understand. I thought
I should be here, but I realized I was

too late.

Years and years too late.

I was an effective cop.

Yeah.

I'd been a few rules.

But my beat was safe for decent people.

The dregs?

Well, that was a different story.

But nobody was shot by me that didn't
try and kill me first.

It's about as straight as I can be.

Nothing further, Your Honor.

Ms. Willis?

Officer, Stacey offers no new evidence,
Your Honor. The case speaks for itself.

Objection! Sustained.

Ms. Willis, save your remarks for
summation.

The people see no need for cross
-examination, Your Honor.

Would you summon the jury?

Have you reached the verdict?

We have, Your Honor.

The defendant will rise.

It is the verdict of the jury that
Charles Stacy be found guilty of murder

the first degree.

Sentencing will be set for three weeks
from today. A defendant will be held in

custody until that time.

Court's adjourned.

State.

Look, I'm sorry.

I could tell when you were on the stand.

It was the truth.

There was nothing else.

Look, kid, you find that pimp, Monty
Fontaine, and you'll find out what the

truth is.

And you believe that turkey judge
finally convicted somebody?

They really did a number on me.

Anything you want?

Anybody you want to get a hold of?

No, there isn't anybody.

I stayed the other day with that girl. I
just told you there wasn't anybody.

Who was she?

She used to be my daughter.

Police story will continue in a moment.

It's hard to see you get this space.

Harrison. In the flesh.

More than we were a couple of rookies
walking the beat.

I got old.

What are you doing here?

My job.

I got to get you ready for the bus.

You got hurt, huh?

I asked for this job.

A few years back, I asked for a poor job
to finish off my 30.

They gave me this.

A pole job, you?

Couldn't handle the street anymore.

When we started, Stace, I don't know.

People said hello.

Kids looked up to you.

Trouble on the corner? A kick in the
keister sent it on its way, huh?

Yeah, all of a sudden, I was a pig.

All of a sudden, I had to be half of a
lawyer.

Pretty easy to get this stuff, huh?

I got scared.

A couple of beefs against me, see? Well,
the young guys seemed to handle it.

But I couldn't make the right move.

I started worrying I'd come up against
the wrong beef, that they'd pull my pin

or I'd...

Couple of minutes, the bus will be ready
to roll downstairs to take you to

Gladiator School.

Gladiator School?

Jacksonville. That's what they call it.

That's what it is.

Rules.

We had other rules.

Go ahead.

Hands and feet.

Also, I want my 30.

My daughter and her husband have a place
upstate.

There's a couple of acres near them.

It's cheap living up there.

Sounds really good.

Chick Stacy was tough, but a murderer? I
don't believe it. And what if he is?

Innocent, I mean. Chick Stacy was a
laugh at a hard -liner. But he still

be innocent.

Could be. So?

So we should do what we can.

Which is what? What do you want from my
life? I think that we should reopen the

case.

Wait a minute. Aren't you the guy who
testified against him? Yeah, I

And what I said was his methods were not
my methods. I did not say he was a

killer. Dave, these things are up to the
DA.

They already got that conviction.

You might as well forget it. Well, maybe
internal affairs should retract the

case. Come on, you're still green,
Ramirez.

Those IA guys have no interest in
anything but nailing cops, not helping.

There's no way, Dave.

Yeah, well, I just can't let it lay, all
right?

Something about Stacy.

I just can't let it lay.

All right, gentlemen.

First six, against the wall.

Second six, up front.

Locked in.

Move to tackle.

Open up!

All right, everybody over to R &R.

Single file. Move it. Let's go.

Come on, hustle, hustle.

Pick it up, come on.

All right, listen up.

Some of you have been through this
before.

But for the new face, this is how it's
going to be.

For now, you keep your mouth shut. You
do what you're told.

Any questions, you hold for orientation.

Questions are a counselor's job. They're
not mine. Here you're going to be

checked in, given a fish kit.

Towels, sheets, toilet articles, and a
copy of the rules.

Not any of you were carrying balloons,
either drugs or money.

Give them up now and make it easy.

Okay, everybody into a cubicle and drop
the duds.

Hey, homeboy.

You see that dude over there in the
second cube?

Hold it.

All right, let's go.

Orientation is north block.

Put up there for a week or so with your
classifieds.

you guys owe it to him. We owe him.

Where do you get off with that?

Because. Because there's no one else.
We've been through it, Ramirez.

The evidence doesn't change.

Stacy thought that pimp Monty was the
key. How could he be?

He hasn't been seen since the day you
chased him. Well, maybe that's it. He's

running. Why else would he disappear if
he didn't have something to hide?

Ramirez, why do you want to help Stacy?

Maybe I feel like I shortchanged him.
Oh, come on. Because he was a cop.

A hell of a cop, too.

All right, I'm not saying he wasn't out
of step, but if you guys had to yell for

help, you want to see me come running
with my Miranda card or Stacy who grabs

trouble by the throat?

He's a cop, and we should give him all
any cop has coming. And you don't think

that happened?

The D .A. ran the investigation.

The media and power pressures had him
convicted just as effectively as the

evidence. Ramirez. You guys once told me
that I .A. cuts both ways.

All I'm asking is that you at least take
a look.

Will you do it?

Will you give him one more shot? You
know what kind of man Stacy is. Black

white, no gray. Hang him at dawn and no
cussing in front of the womenfolk.

Now, that may be extreme with him.

Old -fashioned.

But it's kind of moral in its way.

Well, you're right about that. Stacy is
a man who believes in right and wrong.

And would a man like that believe in
murder?

Orientation is only supposed to last a
week. I don't know what to do with you.

Oh, my God. Did you see the warden?

Let me tell you, that's special. It's
never done.

Escort!

It's like a checkerboard.

Never used to be like this.

A group of blacks over there call
themselves the Black Guerrilla Families.

Over there, that bunch is part of the
Mexican Mafia. Stay away from them, they

might leave you alone.

And the whites are ganged up, too.

Call themselves the Aryan Brotherhood.

Talk sense, Stacy.

I'm talking sense to you, and you're
busting my chops.

I don't want protective custody, Warden.
I don't want it. You said that. You've

been saying that.

And your counselor and his lieutenant
couldn't talk you out of it, so they

dropped it in my lap. And I'm telling
you, you're dead without PC.

I've got to be here. I've got to make it
here. Please, Warden, don't make me

special. Please.

You're special.

You know, the Khans knew about a cup on
campus before most of my staff did.

It's their world.

It's gonna be very uphill for you.

Speech over, Warden. I don't need your
permission. It's my responsibility.

You've got to have protective custody.

Prison within a prison?

Uh -uh, Warden. I got too much time.

In PC, you'll be alive.

You put me in population?

I will do the best time possible.

You put me in PC, and I will raise all
the hell I can.

What am I beating my brains out for?

One cop who went bad.

You want mainline?

You got it.

C -block.

Stacey.

What's the use of talking?

in C block.

Number seven, it's your house from now
on.

Close, C block.

I see a familiar face, Stacy.

Or don't you remember me?

Ah, you're a bar and girl on the
boulevard. You kicked an old lady's

Then emptied the cash register.

I nailed you on the way out. How's that
for a recall referee?

Just wanted to be sure we all remember.

When I nailed you, I was doing my job.

And you had it coming.

Now you're of no interest to me.

What do you say we leave it at that
while we do our time?

Sure, we can let it go at that.

Good.

But we won't.

Do it, Rafferty!

All right,

out of this cell!

What's going on?

He tripped.

Who threw the first punch?

Like the man said, I tripped.

You just walked in here, so I'm going to
set you straight.

I know a hell of a lot more about what
goes on around here than you think I do.

If it happens again, I'll put you both
in a hole with a beat. Got that?

All right, playtime's over. Lock them
down.

C -block, lock up the top.

Can you tell me why that drunk driving
case is two days late?

It's in the typewriter, Lieutenant.

Uh -huh. Where's Petrelli? Uh, he's up
at R &I. He's checking out some

Like this one?

That's what I thought.

Fontaine, Monty, you guys are nosing
into the Stacey case. Is that why your

other cases are falling behind? We're
just trying to keep everything going,

Lieutenant. It is over, Stanley.

Stacy is in the joint. That is a
criminal matter and it is none of our

It's got to be somebody's business
because nobody's interested.

No, I think there's more to it than
that. You don't know if Stacy is guilty

if he's innocent. You're just trying to
make something happen.

You think I don't know?

You think I haven't been through this?

You're just trying to live with
yourself, Stanley. Why else would you be

this? I have some doubts.

The jury didn't find any. Well, I have
some.

Ramirez has some doubts.

Don't let those other cases slip too
far.

Biddy.

That young cop you got off the hook with
the alcoholic wife.

Tim Burke?

211 downtown turned into a shootout.
Burke is credited with saving his

life and taking the suspects all by his
lonesome.

You bailed out a hell of a car.

Thank you.

I'll let you have it about the bad ones.

I guess you got a right to know about
the good ones, too.

This is the fourth time we've been back
to this dump.

We keep looking and looking. We never
find anything.

I'm trying a new approach, okay?

Come across, Stan. Why are you doing
this? We're doing this. We're partners,

remember?

My next question.

I thought maybe you're going to put in a
request for a new partner like that kid

Ramirez. What, are you jealous?

Oh, come on. I don't know why.

I mean, maybe it's the way this kid was
able to stand up after putting in for a

new partner and taking a stand.

I just think Ramirez got a lot of moxie.

Moxie?

Moxie?

Come on, Stan. Nobody's had moxie since
the 50s. Hey, maybe that's what's wrong

with this world.

The lab boys have been through this
place already. What is Parks going to

that they didn't find before?

You sound like the civilians that think
SID guys are Sherlock Holmes. They do

what the officer on the scene says. He
says, look for a gun. That and routine

dusting for prints is all they do. So I
asked Parks to look for something else.

So chat. I'm working backwards. Assuming
Chick Stacy told the truth, that he was

fired at from Lily's window.

Based on the trial that's far out
already, the evidence says Lily did not

gun. So what are you saying?

What? Somebody else fired from the
window? Right. Go with me on this. Now,

I don't know who or why.

Let's say I'm somebody who wants to draw
fire from Stace. I fire at him.

But because your magic, there were no
bullets.

That the lab boys did check for. Right.
I fire, but instead of bullets.

Blank.

Blank? Come on, Stan. That's really
reaching.

I can tell you boys right now there's no
odd from a blank here.

You sure?

You know, a wad's just that, a wad.

When you fire a blank, it comes out in
one piece, like a plug.

It would be big enough to see. Well,
even if you don't find the wad, there'd

little bits, fibers, wouldn't there?
Well, here are your fibers. They could

from a blank or from her clothes,
anything.

Wait a minute.

The fiber from a blank would be
impregnated with gum powder, right?

Right. Well, that's it.

Run a test on the fibers. If we come up
with a positive test, what do you look

for, nitrates? But I know we'll find
nitrates in those, even without testing.

What?

What? Because there are nitrates in the
dust in this room.

And that proves a gun's been fired in
here, right? Wrong. The park up the

I smelled it when I went by.

Parks department fertilized it probably
less than a week ago.

Nitrates from the fertilizer, they're in
the air.

Don't tell me.

The same nitrates that are found in
gunpowder, right?

Can come from a lot of places.

If we gave you a paraffin test after
you'd fertilized your lawn, you'd come

looking like you'd been using a machine
gun.

You've led a charmed life so far.

You better watch me, Rafferty.

One of these nights, I'm gonna get you.

Hey, Albert, looks like they've got your
favorite today.

I'm your friend, Albert.

I found out something for you.

You see that guy?

Over there.

He's the guy that raped your baby
sister, Albert.

Albert just found out he has a sister.

I'm gonna crush you.

Would you like a biscuit?

What's up?

Got a brainstorm.

We need a wadding to prove a blank,
right?

Only there's no way it's in that room.

Now, if you fire a blank from a window,
where would the wad go?

Where would it go?

Hell, out the window, but the yard's
been searched.

Yeah, but what if it didn't get that
far? It's here.

It can't be anyplace else.

Out the window and into here.

Dave, are you sure you don't have to pay
a visit to the shrink?

When was the last time it rained?

Who knows?

A couple months ago, wasn't it?

Yeah, something like that.

Oh, great. I thought you could get sued.

All right, look out, man. Here it comes.

Give me a hand, would you?

Turn the hose on the other end and tilt
the drain up.

If you don't ever get jammed up, I want
you on my side.

You got a wad out of a drainpipe. Yeah,
the lab confirmed it came from a blank

cartridge. I can't see that proving much
of anything. Somebody, probably Lily's

pimp, made Stacy think he was being shot
at. Self -defense. Of course, there's

no way to date a wad. Let's find out
when it was fired.

No, but that's it. Stacy's innocent.

You make a lousy lawyer.

Thank you.

Look, you guys are friends of Stacy's,
right? Not exactly.

Okay, then, fellow officer. Yeah.

And this fellow officer is now in jail,
and the only thing that stands between

him and freedom is a wad from a blank
cartridge.

So what's your point?

My point is a judge could be skeptical.

Are you saying we manufactured this
evidence?

I'm sure you're not going to tell me
that a couple of cops, one of them

ex -partner, couldn't start feeling
sorry for Chick Stacy.

After all, what's one dead lily against
a brother officer?

Lily the scum, Lily the garbage.

Miss Willis, that damn sure is exactly
what we're trying to tell you.

You bring me a murderer, guys.

You think Monty Fontaine did it?

Great. You prove it.

You get me some hard evidence.

I'd be glad to trade you a pimp for a
cop.

Otherwise, you'll excuse me, please.

Last week, San Francisco says they ran a
lead down on Fontaine. He was there

already. But the word is he's back in
our town.

We're going to need all the help we can
get to find him. There's one thing I

don't get. Why would Fontaine kill one
of his big money sources?

Let's find out.

I know exactly what he'll tell you.
Lies. He was no different than many

officers in the ward. They were all
disloyal.

I tried to run the ship properly with a
book, but they fought me at every turn.

If the crew wanted to walk around with
their shirt tails hanging out, that's

right. Let them. Take the tow line.

Defective equipment. No more, no less.
But they encouraged the crew to go

scoffing at me and spreading wild rumors
about steaming in circles and then a

whole yellow stain. I was to blame for
Lieutenant Merrick's incompetence. Watch

the picture.

Lieutenant Merrick was the perfect
officer, but not Captain Quee.

Ah, but the strawberries.

That's where I had them. They laughed at
me and made jokes. But I proved beyond

the shadow of a doubt and with geometric
logic that a duplicate key to the

wardrobe icebox did exist.

And I'd have produced that key if they
hadn't pulled the cane out of action.

I know now they were only trying to
protect some fellow officer.

Naturally, I can only cover these things
from memory.

If I've left anything out, why, just ask
me specific questions and

I'll be glad to answer them one by one.

No further questions, sir.

For he's a jolly good fellow.

For he's a jolly good fellow.

For he's a jolly good fellow.

That nobody can deny.

Light! Hit the lights!

Now! Light! Hit the lights!

Who did this to you?

Hey, come on, talk to me. Hey!

Get over to the hospital. Get a gurney
over here, fast.

Turn around and face the wall.

Now, move!

Shake them down.

Put them back to their houses.

Then lock them down.

Police story will continue in a moment.

Ramirez, what's going on? Still inside.

Shouldn't have gone out the back? No, I
got Daxter covering the rear.

All right, I'm going to go in and jam
him.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

What's that supposed to mean? Sit in the
car and wait?

We wear suits, but we're still cops. We
can make our own arrests, huh?

Well, I know you guys have been out of
it for a while. Hey, that ain't Jack the

Ripper in there. That's Monty. I think
we can handle one little pimp, all

What? Thank you.

Thank you.

Ahem.

Hey, man, what are you doing? Get up.

Get up.

What do you got to do with me?

Monday. What?

Monday morning.

You and me at the academy.

Jogging. Get back into it.

Okay.

Straighten up.

Nice catch.

Take him down to the station.

Monday.

Okay, Monday.

I didn't do Lily.

And I didn't.

The cop did it.

And why'd you skip?

Look, I didn't need no trouble, all
right?

Lily's dead. Who knows? Maybe I'm next.

Why would you be next? I don't know.

I just wasn't going to hang around to
find out.

Well, now, if you didn't ice Lily and
the cop didn't ice Lily, who did?

Lily's business could have been any one
of a hundred different weirdos. A trick?

You know, maybe.

I mean, most of them do have something
to hide.

On the day that you ran from the
apartment.

Who was with Lily?

Just some guy that I picked up on Maine.
He hit on me, so I took him to Lily.

What did he look like? Just like a
hundred others.

Let's get the police orders done. Hey, I
didn't say I remember what the guy

looked like.

You try.

Or I might remember those laws about the
business you're in.

Got a visitor!

Visitor! Yeah?

But I didn't expect to see you here.

Oh.

Well, I tried.

But I couldn't stay away.

Thank you.

I had to see you.

Don't ask me why.

God knows what for.

Maybe I knew there'd be no one else
coming.

I wanted to talk to you at the trial.

After 15 years?

Listen, kid, I thought about you. I
really thought about you, honest.

Yeah, right.

Mom said you always spent Christmas
money.

Maybe it was my job.

Maybe I just didn't want to get in your
way.

Your stepfather's a nice guy, huh?

Yeah, he is.

You know something?

He didn't look to knock the world over
or try to save it.

All he wanted was a little time with his
family.

And you know what?

I think he's great.

How's your mom? Is she happy?

I got married.

I'm expecting.

Don't bother looking. I'm not showing
yet.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

A lot of things have happened, kid.

Yeah.

A lifetime happened.

I married a ski bum.

We have a little shop up in the north
country.

We just get by, but I think it's going
to be great for the baby.

That sounds like it'll be fine for a
baby up there.

You want anything?

Hey, kid.

I wasn't there for you.

I never realized how much it was going
to hurt you.

I'm sorry, kid.

What the hell are you guys doing here?

Would you believe we're trying to help?

What's that mean, help?

I'm done tripping over yourself with
gratitude.

Here's what we got.

You make him... Could be anybody. This
is important.

Pretend you're in Lily's apartment.

The day I rousted Lily, that was a
trick. Who is he? You tell us.

We talked up the sketch.

Monty Fontaine.

Monty Fontaine?

You guys have got Monty Fontaine?

Hey, what's happening? What's happening?
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down.

Fontaine has an alibi for that night.

Yeah, B.

He was in a bar. Twenty people saw him.
I'm not buying it. We checked it.

He's eliminated.

Let's just concentrate on the trick.

The trick had no beef with me.

Maybe he had a beef with Lily. You mean
that he sniped at me from Lily's room?

That's going around a long way just to
kill a hooker, isn't it?

Maybe he wanted two birds with one
stone.

Well, look, we'll work up the portrait
and we'll see what turns up.

I thought the department dropped the
investigation after the trial.

They did.

Ramirez pushed it open again.

Ramirez?

Well, I'll be damned.

Is that all you guys got to go on?

Bits and pieces.

Not enough to convince the judge you're
innocent.

Enough to convince you?

Enough to keep us trying.

Appreciate it.

Same answer I gave you last week and the
week before. No.

Come on, Sammy.

I'll bet you're not looking hard enough.

Maybe we should jog a few memories.

Look, what's this thing?

I swear he's not been in here.

Maybe he doesn't like my kind of place.

He's a kink. S &M. You are in the wrong
place.

What's the right place?

Can you try Maggie's on Melrose?

All right.

We'll let you know, Sammy.

Forget it, okay? Just stay out.

You're frightening him to death.

I heard that place is supposed to be
wild and out of our area.

I think the boy's alive.

I need you to answer a few questions.

What can I do for you? We're looking
into a murder.

No way, man.

And they come in here to get into their
fantasy.

Ain't no killing going on.

You know him?

His face is familiar.

Well, why don't you put a name to it?

I can't. I've only seen him in here once
or twice.

So help me, man.

I don't need your kind of trouble.

story will continue in a moment.

I .A .D. Yeah, give me Sergeant Bivens.
This is Bivens. It's Fontaine. Monty

Fontaine.

Yeah, you know that guy in the sketch?

Oh, you know who he is now?

I saw him on the news.

Six o 'clock news.

Who is he, Fontaine?

You had this special arrangement with
Lily, but I still got my cut.

Who is he?

Cue it up.

He's the new candidate for state
assembly.

Yeah, well, that's great.

Well?

He is the guy to the candidate's right.

Freeze it.

What's his name?

I don't know his name. You rode with
Stace?

Never seen him before.

Who is it, Fontaine? I just told you, I
don't know his name.

His name is John Mason. Intelligence
says he's probably the most influential

political power in the state.

Central committee right at the top.

You're going to see him in the cabinet
when the next governor gets in.

He just gave me a bomb, you know that?

Well, we figure that's what you're
getting paid for, Chief.

You can put him in the room with Lily.

The CIA says he owns a .38.

Bought it last year.

What does that do for you? Well, maybe
plenty if he's got the blacks to go with

the gun.

Can you get a search warrant for the
gun? It's already in the works.

You can't prove he was looking to cover
up his kinky sex acts to save a

political career.

If we get the piece, we don't need to,
Chief.

All right.

I want one more candle on a cake.

Steak it.

It's over, do you hear me?

If you hear me, that's it.

The next time someone looks at me so
much as sideways, I'm coming after you,

I'm in here for murder.

Comprende!

All right!

Stacy, I've had it with you and
Rafferty.

You just bought yourself a beef paddle,
a little time in the hole.

Now, do I need the cuffs?

No. All right, move it.

Otis, grab Rafferty.

Better plan better next time.

There ain't no next time.

Did he scare you away, or you got some
love for a cop?

He took everything we threw at him, and
he gave it right back. But he never

opened his mouth.

He was a cop.

He's a con now.

Let's move it, Rafferty.

The Paddies are going to drop it. We're
picking it up.

We're hitting Stacy while he's in the
hole.

That way the bulls will figure out if he
finally got the job done.

But he's away from the population.

We can't get to him now.

Unless some of our people are in there
with him.

Leeds kind of a dull life, doesn't he?

Come on, tear his head off!

Break it up!

You know where you're going.

Let's go, move!

Have a good time.

Looks like we're starting to cook.

You know, you're pretty smart, Stacy.
You just might make it in here.

I made it on the outside. I'm going to
make it in here.

You know why you scared us so bad on the
street, Stacy?

It wasn't like those other cops.

No, you weren't. You were like us.

You were one bad bull, Stacy.

Now in my book, you're one bad con, too.

Fifteen minutes stretch.

The hole?

Thought it'd be a dungeon.

It used to be tough.

Now we got all kinds of goodies. TV,
whatever you got.

You might lose a few privileges in here,
but it ain't nothing.

It's an oldie. I think I saw it before.
That's where the cowboy with the white

hat gets his horse instead of the woman.

You know what? We got a few minutes
before Chow was just gonna catch some

can do that in your house. You can come
in here on the bunk, kick back, and

watch TV if you want.

Thanks, Rafferty.

Hey, you know what? It would scare the
hell out of me if I thought I could be

good a cop as I am a hard -timer.

3 King 3, stand by with your search
warrants.

Everything is a go on the other end.
They're at Mason's apartment now.

They've got the gun and bullets.

All right.

Mason still inside?

Just went in.

Guess everybody's got their thing, huh?

Yeah. That creep would kill to keep it a
secret.

Let's do it.

Police officers, open up.

Hey, run an army. Get over here.

Please,

this is embarrassing.

Save me. This is not a vice box.

This is for murder, pal.

We served a warrant on your apartment
today.

We got your gun.

And Monty Fontaine's testimony about you
and a certain friend.

Lily.

He's in number three.
