-Peter.
-Don't talk to me.

-What do you got?
-Judge Holland, he's insane.
I want to get outta this.

-That's what
I wanna talk to you about.
-Judge Holland?

Getting out of this.
Now, listen, suppose
I said to you.

Let's just go
to the Caribbean.
Let's go.

What Caribbean?
We can't afford the Caribbean.

We can, if you're in this.

Love Seat
, starring
Wink Martindale.
What, it's a TV show?

Yeah. See, how many
truly know your partner?

Peter, what color
are my eyes?

You have beautiful eyes.

Do you see?
Do you see how simple it is?

Look, Peter, you're worn out,
and I am worn out,

and this place
is suddenly turning crazy.

-We'll go to the movies.
-No, no, no.

We have an interview on Tuesday,
and I have cleared my schedule.

We've known each other
for less than 18 months.
We're both under 30.

We are exactly
what they're looking for.

I'm about to make
a fool of myself
in front of one part human.

-Why would I do it
in front of 20 million?
-I wanna do this. I really do.

It's a week on this island,

it's those luaus
and coconut drinks.

You know with
those umbrellas in them?

-It's Tahiti.
-They make it on the beach.

I mean, we could
win this, Peter.

-We can win.
-Maybe in a couple of years.

Sir, you're the disgrace.

Don't you impugn
my patriotism, sir.

I was with the 101st
Airborne in Normandy, by God.

Heard the spit of the cat.
Looked the wolf in the eye.

No. A thick nabob's
gonna tell me

about the United States
of America?

America! God shed his grace
on thee, and crown thy good

with brotherhood
from sea to shining sea!

[Judge Holland yelling]

The Caribbean, Peter.

We are all
rapidly growing older.

I mean, who knows?
Two years.

-[Judge Holland] I am American!
-[softly] Wow.

[indistinct chatter]

[woman coughing]

[nurse] I need four units
of O-negative right now.

[woman groans in pain]

[nurse] Open up the IVs wide.

[doctor] Go on.

-Who are you? Are you a doctor?
-I'm with the DA's office.

-I just got the call.
-You're a DA?

I thought you were staff.
Get out of here. Hold her down.
Get out of here!

-Call a surgeon.
-[woman groaning]

[indistinct chatter]

Well, detective,
what have we got?

Well, you know we got the guy.

Yeah, but how much
do we know about her?

Oh, she's a vagrant.

Bag lady. Living on
the streets.

Nameless, so far.

All we found was this.

Embedded down on the roof
of the warehouse

or was dragged up on the roof.

Q-Tooth photo lab, Wilton.
Is that Michigan?

Raped her and stabbed her
and left her for dead.

-[indistinct chatter]
-[woman groaning]

It's the same pattern
as the other three women.

How was he caught?

Well, we got an anonymous 911.

Somebody heard some screaming.

He was coming down
off the fire escape
when we got there.

Okay, get me a semen analysis.

Get me everything
you can on this guy.
I wanna go strong with this.

And find out whose
picture this is, if you're able.
Call the Wilton police.

Well, that's up to you.

Detective, we have
three rape murders.

This is the first time
we've got a victim who's alive.

She's a witness.

Don't lecture me, counselor.

Now, I'm in this business
20 years.

And I'm telling you,

you will be lucky if she
even gives you her name.

She is terrified of him.

I want that girl's statement.

I want her ID-ing
her assailant.

-You are not giving up on this.
-I'm not giving up on anything.

I want to see this bastard
nailed as much as you do.

But don't tell me to get excited
because we got a case.

We got nothing.

-Julie, you'll have
nunc pro
.
-
Nunc pro
, got it.

I've got, um, idem "synonous"?

-
Sonans
.
-I've got idem--

-No, you've got
non-vults
.
-Yeah, I've got
idem sonans
.

-Right, right.
-[indistinct chatter]

All right, now, people.

Let's keep a straight face
or the wit is lost, hmm?

Mike, I'm being challenged
in a
nunc pro tunc.

I need your advice.

Mike, I've got
a search problem
on my case.

I'd like to know,
can I cite
idem sonans?

Is a
non vult contendere
equivalent to a
nudum pactum's
consideration to a plea?

-[Mike] Good morning.
-[woman] Morning.

-[man] Good morning.
-Good morning, Mike.

-Morning, Mike.
-Good morning. Mike...

Mike, before we get started,
I'm being challenged

in a
nunc pro tunc
case,
and I need your advice.

-Julie, just hold on
for one minute.
-Mike, it's really important.

-I need to talk to you about it.
-I have a couple
of announcements.

There are going to be
some procedural changes.

I've reviewed your schedule
with Arnold Bach,

and you're gonna be
working two weekends

-a month from now on.
-That's progressive.

Also, you'll be working
three evenings a week

in addition
to your regular duties.

In addition to that,

we are not gonna have
any case aides

or interns anymore.

Now, I've talked to Arnold,
and he agrees with me

that it would make for
a more professional office.

Questions?

Why, Mike?

Mike, you're nailing us
to the wall.

What's the program here, huh?

It's changed.

[clears throat]

Nudum pactum?

Idem nudum pactum
cedam.

How did you know?

Briggs, the next time you
decide to scam somebody,

maybe you should
only tell half the bureau.

-[laughter]
-Julie?

[Mike] Okay.

[clears throat]
First order of business.

It's in the air,

it's on everyone's minds,

but it stays in this room.

-Searls.
-Why is Gene running?

Ask him.

I mean, there's a lot
of rumors flying around.

I was walking out
of the building with Gene
when he was leaving work,

and I felt like every eye
on the place was on me,

-like that was supposed
to mean I was against Bach?
-Whatever that means.

What it means
is that the walls
have ears around here.

Bach caught up in graft.
I just don't believe it.

Excuse me.

-Mike, just a moment.
-Of course.

-Good morning.
-[all] Good morning.

I'm running for re-election.

Now, I know that you know
that I'm running.

And I know that you know that
Gene Rogan has announced.

Now, he was your bureau chief,
and I put him in that job.

I don't know each
one of you personally,
but I do know

that my administration
has been good to you.

You've always had my support.

And I hope you're going to be
supportive of me now.

Thanks, Mike.

[Mike] Julie.

Where are we on
the, uh, felony mayhem?

[Linda] Hi.

My name's Linda. I'm with
the district attorney's office.

We got the man
that did this to you.

Can you tell me your name?

Is there anybody that
we should call or... or talk to?

Mm-mm.

Mm-mm.

How about this lady?

[police sirens wailing]

Who is she?

My mother.

Where is she now?

It don't change nothing.

Honey, listen to me.

There were three others
before you.

Young women like you

that we think he might have
done this to.

They were all killed.

You are the only one
who's alive.

You're the only one we have
who might be able
to stop him from--

from doing this again
to somebody else,
maybe even you.

But we need you to identify him.

Maybe your mother could
help you to understand.

-Uh, if I could talk to her--
-She dead.

[sighs]

Secondly, I'm gonna call
for more courtrooms
and more judges.

You can add
all the police you want,

but if you're not willing
to support more courtrooms
and judges--

This is why so many
felonies are plead out
with light sentences.

What about the Mallory scandal?
Bach taking money
for his campaign.

-Is there any mileage
in there?
-Just a minute.

The Mallory thing is perfect.
Puts the soft liners
in a hell of a box.

I would like some responses
to my issues, please.

You're going down a trail that
nobody's gonna understand.
You're speaking in off-English.

Off-English?

Uh, he can't keep
using this speech.

It's gonna drive people
out of their minds.

When are we gonna
start on commercials?
I got some ideas.

I believe we take two tacks.
The, uh, candidate
takes the high road.

-I've got a lot of contacts
in the press for the other.
-Character assassination.

Arnold Bach
is unprincipled, unstable.

You're talking
character assassination.

I hear the guy's
got a drum for a wife.

That's good. File that.

-[laughter]
-Absolutely not.

You're gonna
have to learn
how to hate this guy.

You're gonna have to learn
there are issues
that are important to me,

and Arnold's home life
is not one of them.

-Nor do I wish
to see it destroyed.
-Of course.

I will not have a campaign
that is based on smears.
What is going on here?

Yes, but you can't go
into this as if you were...

towing the ground
for landmines.

This guy's ripe for trashing.
Bach's done too many things.

Too many people know about it.

We're not talking about
slandering anyone, Gene.

I agree.

Nothing about his wife.

-All right, where are we
on the photo opportunities?
-It's still conceptual.

Gene, how do you see all this?

Running for office?

I don't understand the question.

-Is it everything to you?
-I quit my job, Colin.

It will be
a full-time occupation,
if that's what you mean.

A man to whom politics
is only an occupation

will always lose to one to whom
it's all there is in life.

How much of this am I
gonna have to listen to?

No, that's not the question.

It's how much of this
are you willing to learn.

No, the question is, how much
am I going to be heard?

Be patient, Gene.

It'll all work out.

Lori, tell Marks
he's on felony duty
as soon as he gets in,

and call me
as soon as there's a vote
in the McCork trial.

I got a girl in my office,
rape and battery.

Her mother
doesn't want her
to press charges.

Keep talking to her until
I'm finished with these
and then bring her in.

I've got a rape and assault
with stab wounds.
I'd like you to take over.

Hello, Mrs. Hunter.

Would you like
to come in, please?

[indistinct chatter]

[Mrs. Hunter] He--
he took his pants off.

Was the door locked?
Did he lock it?

He was standing
between me and the door.

I don't know.

-I want you to try--
-I don't remember.

I was crying. He...

Vicki, did he penetrate you?

Yes.

To completion?

I-- I couldn't stop him.

I tried.

It's okay.

How many times
did he try to attack you?

Several.

Several times.

And this was over how long
of a period of time?

Time?

I--

I don't remember time.

-[knocking on door]
-Yeah?

Are you ready for this?

This girl is raped and beaten.

And the mother absolutely
refuses to allow us

to take it to court.

-She just took
her daughter away.
-So, what did we lose?

Raped on a first date, a kid,
into everything at school.

No other witnesses?

[scoffs]

I don't know why
this one's getting to me
so much.

What is it you think
you could have done?

I must look stupid.

Hey.

Forget how it looks.

How do you get through it?

When do you stop
feeling so much?

You're very good at what you do.

And what you do
does make a difference.

I envy you, sometimes.

How you can just
cut yourself off.

Well, thanks for letting me
sound off like a kid.

[door closes]

[indistinct chatter]

What are we doing here?

The Caribbean, Peter.

R&R, you know, snorkeling.

-A week on your back.
-Give me a call

when you're back in town,
I'll take you to lunch.

We're gonna be fine.
We've gone over
everything right now.

You know what foods
I like to eat, right?

What games we play.

When was the last time
we made love in the shower?

They're gonna want to know
my bathroom habits?

They don't want to know
about your bathroom habits.

They want to know
what I know about
your bathroom habits.

This is going all over America.

It's not going all over America.
The ratings aren't that high.

We made love in the shower
on Thursday.

-Harris-Bauer.
-Oh, that's us. Right here.

Your hair's blue
and your eyes are yellow.

Think "mangoes".

It was a party, baby.

I met the chick on the roof.

We messed around.
We smoked some crack.

And I left her there.

The next thing I know, these...

suckers got me
up against a wall.

A piece in my nose.

Mr. Williams, I have a witness
who can identify you.

She's gonna testify against you,
and I'm gonna prove that

-three women are dead
because of you.
-She's gonna testify?

Must have been somebody
down on Eastern Boulevard.

-Listen to her.
-Don't tell me
who to listen to.

-Tell him.
-She's offering a plea.

10 to 20, you could be out
in six and a half.

Or I'm going for 25 to life,
and I got a witness
who can put you away.

I'll tell you something.
If somebody puts me away...

it won't be that piece of trash.

[door opens]

[chair screeches]

[Linda sighs]

I wanna talk
to the Wilton police.

I'm gonna find out
everything I can

about the woman
in the photograph.
It's her mother.

She says she's dead.
I'm not so sure.

And I want that girl
brought to the station
Thursday.

-For what?
-A line-up.

-She's not gonna do it.
-I have got a demented,

homicidal rapist
who is gonna
walk out of here.

And I got six cases
going cold while
you jerk around

with something
you can't make happen.

I want a police officer
at that hospital
with an ambulance.

I want her picked up.
I want her brought down.

I will be there.
You will be there.

And so will she,
and so will the suspect
at 10:45 and in a line-up.

...whose target
is the Special Prosecution
of Recidivist Defendants.

I'll call it
Major Offense Bureau.

The Saratoga County
Sheriff's Department
has jurisdiction over Wilton.

-This afternoon.
-[receiver clicks]

You should hear this guy.
This is great.

Whatever happened
to the urbane, laid-back

Eugene Rogan we've all
come to know and love?

Listen, I just want to say
that I know I've created
a lot of turmoil

by jumping into this thing
as quickly as I have.

And...

what I am about
to ask you for...

politically, puts you
in a delicate position.

I know that. It has to.
On the other hand--

Gene... [clears throat]

you've got our support.

Even if it just means
staying out of Bach's corner.

Done.

I have to say something
about the two of you.

Say on.

-Next to my own family.
-Ugh, meeting.

-Court.
-[Linda] Before the tears flow.

-Call.
-I will.

See you later.

God, I envy him.

He's alive, he's excited...

and he's getting out.

Getting out.
What do you mean by that?

I've really hit a wall, Mike.

My job, it's just not
getting any better.

And nothing changes.

It's a low conviction rate,
difficult clientele.

I told this 73-year-old woman

that we're going to put
her assailant in jail.

I went in there,
and I wanted so much

to believe it when I told her,
but I don't.

I just...
I don't believe it anymore.

I've got this young ADA.
I told her that
what we're doing,

-it makes a difference.
-Linda.

I know.

I gotta be across town
in half an hour,
interview a victim.

[man] They said they'd be
out here with results.

Okay, okay, let's go.
I mean, we should have left.

I mean, why are we waiting?
This is ridiculous.

How you doing?
We're wasting our time.

-You don't know that, now stop.
-Why would they want us?

-I'm an average guy,
I've got an average dream.
-That's why I love you.

-I'm not that average.
-If I could have your attention.

We'd like to thank
every one of you

for trying out for the show.
We enjoyed all of you immensely.

Now, the three couples selected,
please meet back here

five o'clock tomorrow evening.
Taping's at six.

You are...

Jones-Washington.

Yes, yes!

Loman-Wood.

[woman squeals excitedly]

Harris-Bauer.

[she screams]

You want us?

We're going to the Caribbean!

We're going to the Caribbean!

♪
Yeah, mix a lime in the Cola
lots of fun for the jam
♪

♪
Lime in the Cola
♪

-[she hums]
-We gotta practice.

In five, four, three...

And now, Wink Martindale
and
The Love Seat!

[crowd cheering]

Thank you very much,
ladies and gentlemen.

Now, you in the audience
and those of you at home

have all heard how Jo Ann
expects Peter to answer
three questions.

Does this couple
know each other so well

that Jo Ann is right?

[bell dinging]

-Or is she wrong?
-[foghorn blows]

So let's bring out Peter Bauer
and see how he's going to do.

Peter, if you will, please.

[audience clapping]

Make yourself comfortable
on the love seat

with Jo Ann and we will begin.

Peter, welcome
and good luck to you both.

For a two-week
all-expense-paid trip

to the Caribbean, here's
your first question, Peter.

"If you could wake up tomorrow

and change one quality
in Jo Ann,

what would that be?"

If you could wake up
tomorrow and change

just one quality in Jo Ann,
what would it be?

-[clock counting down]
-You know this.

-If I could change...
-Yeah, one quality.

-Peter...
-No coaching.

[Peter] I know this,
I know this.

-Five more seconds.
-He knows this, he knows this.

Four... Three... Two...

She's a pain in the ass
in the morning.

-Yes!
-[bell dinging]

That's the answer!

Jo Ann's a pain in the ass
in the morning.

Very well done, Peter.

Very good, which earns Jo Ann
a spin at the bonus wheel.

Jo Ann, please join
Wendy and me
at the bonus wheel.

You can possibly win
a very nice prize

to add to that wonderful trip.

Give it a big spin
and whatever prize comes up

on the wheel
is yours and Peter's.

Something to enjoy during your
Caribbean cruise if you win it.

Round and round she goes,
and let's see where she stops.

Whatever she stops on,
that's what you're gonna get.

A private lunch
with the captain
and the entire crew.

-[squeals]
-That's a very romantic dinner
for you.

That's a good start.
Very, very well done.

Let's move on
to the second question now.

-Okay.
-Peter, listen very carefully.

What one question
does Jo Ann ask you

that you don't want to answer?

-Think really hard, Peter.
-Again, no prompting, Jo Ann.

What's the one question
you always ask me
that I don't want to answer?

Right, like I ask,
and then you say,
and then, you know,

I get really mad because
you won't say what--

-We're prompting.
-Sorry.

What one question
does Jo Ann ask you

that you don't want to answer?

How many sex partners
have I had?

[foghorn blows]

-How could you say that?
-That's what you
always want to know.

That is not what
I always want to know.

You always want to know.
She always asks me that.

That's not what
I always wanna know.

-The correct question,
Jo Ann, please.
-Do you love me?

Do you love me?
How could you forget that?

I always tell you I love you.

-You never tell me.
-I always tell her.

-You never tell me.
-No, no, no.

This relationship has a future.

Can't we tell? I ask you.

But all is not lost.

Couple number two
scored two out of three.

Now, if Jo Ann and Peter
can match that,
they're in a runoff.

So, for a try
at the championship finals

and still that trip
to the Caribbean,

Peter, next question,
final question.

Where was the most unusual place

you and Jo Ann ever had sex?

-We talked about this.
-I remember.

-I've got it. I've got it.
-He's got this.

Definitely. This he has.

The bed.

[foghorn blows]

The bed?

The bed. We never make love
on the bed.

It's a couch.
We make love on the couch.

We make love on the floor.
The shower. The shower!

You told me.
It's all you talked about,

-making love in the shower.
-It's not all I talked about.

-It's all you talked about.
-Yes.

-What games do you like to play?
What food do I like to eat?
-No, no.

Folks, we can just
kind of table this one
for a little bit later?

-What do you think, audience?
-[audience clapping]

I'm sorry you didn't win,

but I want to thank you both
for trying.

You did a good job.
You too, Peter.

-Thank you.
-And as a consolation prize...

What do we have
as a good consolation prize?

Two steak dinners at any one
of Steak Palace's 47 nationwide
roadside eateries.

-Not bad.
-Excuse me.

I'm sorry?

-I do not eat meat.
-You're a vegetarian?

-Yeah, do you believe?
-Well, they have
a wonderful salad bar.

You can take advantage
of that.

Are they great sports or what,
ladies and gentlemen?

Jo Ann and Peter,
thank you both
for being with us.

Thank you. Thank you.

[audience clapping]

-"Do you love me?"
-Stop it.

Let it go.

Arnold, thanks
for squeezing me in.

That son of a...
What does he think
he's doing?

He thinks he can
run this office.

-You explain it to me.
You're close to him.
-What are you talking about?

This.

"DA deals justice for gain,
cites Rogan."

Hell, he wouldn't have
a job if it weren't for me.

We are not close.
We happen to be friends.

Whatever happened to loyalty?

If the man had come up
to me and said,
"Arnold, I've got a family,

I've got to look out for them,
that means moving up."

That's all he'd have to say.
That I could understand.

But this guy's turning
mean and ambitious.

I mean, what'll he do
if he gets this chair?

Arrest a couple of pimps
and say he's doing his job?

I'm sorry, Linda.

Sit down, sit down.

[sighs]

What did we call
this meeting about?

What, the fraternity
house party rape?

I want to take over
Gene's old job.

I want to be
Felony Bureau Chief.

Well, Mike James has the job.

Mike is just filling in.
He doesn't want it.
We both know that.

Well, look, I have
to take my time.

I want this done.
I want this very carefully done.

But, you know,
there are a lot of names.

You look at one,
you get an idea for another.

Arnold, I'm qualified
for the position.

I was in Felony for six years

before you transferred me
to Sex Crimes.

And you're doing
wonderfully there.

Why would you want the change?

I just do.

Well, why would
I want the change?

Who would I replace you with?

It's pulling me down, Arnold.

Linda, you're one
of the best chiefs I've got.

The very best I've ever had
in that bureau.

Arnold, either
you give me the position
or I'm going to leave.

For where?

I don't know, but I mean it.

Look, you've had at least
a couple of days

to think about what
you're gonna say to me.

I've had two minutes, so, uh...

[clears throat]
let's talk on Thursday.

-Arnold, I--
-Thursday.

Thank you, Linda.

[sighs]

-[sighs]
-[door shuts]

[Gene on TV]
I've been told
not to make promises

to you that I might not
be able to keep,
but I will promise you this.

There will be no deals
made with anyone

who sells drugs to minors,

and there will be no deals
made with anyone

who sells drugs
near our schools.

We must protect our children.

Honey, what are you doing?
What are you watching?

The shaping of a 30-second spot.

The office
of District Attorney

is not one I will take lightly.

You know what this is gonna be?

Warmth and sincerity

and a pregnant wife and all
of Arnold's indiscretions.

And what about
all of your ideas?

Ah-ha!

You noticed.

No, my role is to be bland,

which, in fact,
is a new category
of human emptiness,

much coveted and desired.

Is that what you want?

What I want? Oh, my God.

I want community
liaison programs

for the poor
and for the schools.

I want more courtrooms.
I want more judges.

I want more qualified,
experienced assistants.

Everybody will see that
as higher taxes,

so stay on the carefully
studied ambivalent.

That's what they want
to turn me into.

Nobody turns anybody
into anything, Gene.

Go ahead.

You are a kind, decent,
sensitive man, Gene,

and you've never been willing
to place yourself first.

I'm not even sure
if you're able to.

You get angry at Arnold
and people like that,

and you blame them
for what they do to you.

Hell, they don't care
if you're mad.

They don't care what you think.

They just want a result.

They don't care about anything
but their own interests.

If you want out...

I'd understand.

If you stay, I'll understand.

Are enough of their interests
yours to go on with this?

[sighs]

[woman over P.A.]
Dr. Nicholas Wallen to ICU.

Dr. Nicholas Wallen
to ICU, please.

[detective] Bauer.

Before you go in there.

That photo of yours
is of a Mary Ann Myers

that was taken
a year and a half ago.

She's 36 years old.

-It's not her mother.
-Not her anything.

Her husband was mugged
nine months ago.

A couple of hoods
took his wallet

and had his wife's picture
in it.

They must have junked it,

and then your girl
probably found it,

and she kept it.

She made it up.

She wanted someone.
She just...

[scoffs]

She just made it up.

[clicks tongue]

-[woman speaks indistinctly
over P.A.]
-[detective sighs]

Hi.

How are you feeling?

Okay.

There's a lot of people
poking around, huh?

Cops and doctors.

[scoffs]

You know, you do.

You do have her eyes.

They're very pretty.

You look a lot like her.

Do people tell you that?

Yeah.

What do they tell you?

I'm like her.

That's all.

Strong and intelligent.

I can see that in both of you.

I bet you want to be
like her someday.

What was she like?

Beautiful.

She'd hold me in her arms...

and tell me stories.

[Linda] If she were here...

right now, what do you think
she'd say to you?

What do you think
she'd tell you to do?

I don't know.

I think you do.

I can't.

-I'm afraid.
-Think of your mother.

Think about what
she'd say to you

if she were standing
right here.

She'd tell you to listen.

She'd tell you to be strong.

Wouldn't she?

He's gonna kill me.

No, he won't.

He can't.

Just go through the lineup.
That's all I need you to do.

You'll be looking through
one-way glass.

There's no way he can see you.

Just tell me if he's there.

It's what your mother
would want you to do,
isn't it?

And when it's over,
you can go back to the hospital

until you're well enough
to leave.

In a couple days,
you can go. I promise.

Your mother's not here
to help you.

But I will if you let me.

I hope you realize...

that I have never been
so humiliated in my life.

[laughs] You've never been
so humiliated in your life?

In front of millions of people.

Millions? What millions
of people?

-You said their ratings
were down.
-You don't know me.

I don't know you?

You simply don't.
I don't know how
I could have been so wrong

-about someone to say
what you said.
-What did I say?

-About your sex partners.
-No, I didn't say anything

-about my sex partners.
-You said that
I wanted to know.

-You did. You do.
-I would never
ask that question

in front of all those people.

How am I supposed to know that?

You don't even know
that I wouldn't ask that.

-I don't believe this.
-Don't patronize me.

I am-- I am not patronizing you.

You know what
I'd really like to know?

What is this crap
about "I don't love you"?

I didn't say you don't love me.
I said that you never tell me.

I am here, aren't I?

I just love hearing that, Peter.
That makes me feel so good.

You're just like
every other man.

Other men? What other men?

You can ask that.
I certainly wouldn't.

-You're being ridiculous.
-I'm being ridiculous?

Peter, you don't know me.

What are you saying?

I don't know.

What am I?

[door shuts]

I want you to take your time.

-That one.
-Till you're certain.

Black pants, blue shirt.

You mean the second one
from the left?

-That's him.
-No question?

That's him.

Okay, thank you.

That's our man.

Okay, now look.

I know I told you
that's all you had to do.
But there's one more thing.

-What?
-Just one more thing.

Tomorrow we're gonna go
before the grand jury.

-I ain't going back there.
-It's gonna be fine.

-You lied to me.
-No, no.

-We're gonna get...
-You said you'd let me go.

I don't know that guy.
I never seen his face.

-I had to do this.
-You promised me!

You said you'd let me go.
I trusted you.

I'm going to blow you away.

-Take her back
to the hospital.
-You promised me!

You lied to me!

He's gon' kill me.

He's gonna kill me.

He's gonna kill me.

[sobbing] Where am I gonna go?

I'll go to the grand jury
before lunch, see if
we can get an indictment.

Where do you think
you're going with this?

You want the truth?

The truth is, once I get her
into a courtroom...

She's homeless.
She's not that bright.

She's scattered.

[sighs]

They're gonna rip her apart.

Yeah.

Well, if it means anything...

I feel for you, Bauer.

He'll be back on the street,
and he'll do it again.

She'll be back on the street,
and it'll happen again.

I mean,
what the hell difference
am I making here?

[door opens, creaks]

What have I really done?

[door shuts]

[Gene] Colin, do you ever
drive through this city?

And I'm not talking about
down Maple Avenue
towards your house.

I'm talking about Ninth Street.

Crack dealers, prostitutes,
con men...

Burglars, drug addicts,
murderers.

And then there's
the 90% decent people
that you don't see.

Because they're too frightened

to show their faces
on that street.

Those are the people
I want to lead.

Those are the people
that my campaign is about.

It's not Arnold Bach's mistress

or his dirty money
or his alcoholic wife.

Or any of that crap
that I spouted
when I announced.

Now, I'm not angry.
I'm not upset.
And I know all the answers.

I know that I have
to get elected first,

and then I can do
whatever I want.
I've heard all of that.

I will not turn myself
into a mannequin for you.

And if you can't handle that,
I need to know it now.

Is that it?

That's it.

The American political legend.

Insisting upon a higher plane.

Clinging to principles
of the absolute.

So what happens to these
frightened people when you lose?

Oh, your defeat
will be rewarded by
the nobility of your failure.

What about then?

They've still got that street
to contend with.

Don't set me up
as a neophyte, Colin.

I've been packing Arnold's
ammunition for eight years.

I think I know a little bit
about the process.

You go off on your own toot,
you go into the toilet, Gene.

You're not leading
anyone anywhere.

I didn't know that.

What do you think politics is?

Why do I think
you are about to tell me?

It's a con game.
The pursuit of illusion.

The old heroic rough rider
is a thing of the past.

Our leaders are cut from a mold.

A few break through
to celebrity status, and maybe,

just maybe, they take
the public along on issues.

Kennedy. Reagan.

The vast majority,
cardboard cut-outs.

Just change the side
they part their hair on.

I've got to tell you
something, Colin.

I'm about two feet from
cashing this whole thing in.

Well, before you do...

there's an upside to it.

Decent man, good ideas,

if the power of his brokers
is sufficient,

can actually perform some good
once he's entrenched.

Or they've entrenched him.

Which, to a decent man,

is why he starts off
in the game.

It's after.

-That's when you're measured.
-Measured for what?

I'm running
for district attorney,
for God's sake!

Oh, hell, Gene.
Power is the source of life.

It's infectious.

Give a man a shot at it,
and it's like a narcotic.

You can't stop
at one hit. Yeah.

Power.

And then, the alliance
with powerful men begins,

or it falls apart.
But if it lasts...

What, if it lasts?

Congress, the Senate.

And that's what's in it for you?

You too, if you listen to me.

Senator and Mrs. Eugene Rogan.

In eight to ten years.

So, uh...

you still want to be
Felony Bureau Chief?

You told me to see you
on Thursday. It's Thursday.

How well do you know Arlen Ames?

I've met her. I know
she's the political writer
for
The Express.

I want you to meet with her.

Tell her that you've known me
for years.

These attacks
by Gene Rogan on me

are nothing
but political garbage.

And that you support
my candidacy for re-election.

And you're in my corner
all the way.

And you've got felony bureau.

[suspenseful music playing]

He's been my friend
for 12 years.

You came to me, Linda.

-[knocking on door]
-[Peter] Stella!

My God, who does he think
he is, Marlon Brando?

-What is he doing?
-Jo Ann, you're going to
have to let him in.

-Why is he doing that?
-We're going to get evicted.
You know our neighbors.

Those neighbors?
Let 'em suffer.

-[Peter] Stella!
-Jo Ann, I'm gonna let him in.

Julie, don't let him in.
Don't let him in!

I'm going out to dinner.
I have to open the door.

-Julie!
-I'm sorry.

[door clicks open]

-Hey.
-Oh, surprise. It's you.

I've piled
your toothbrush
and your underwear

-on the dresser there
in a plain brown wrapper.
-Can I talk to you a minute?

-Correct me if I'm interested
in anything you have to say.
-Can I talk to me?

Suit yourself.

I just want you to sit there
for one minute.

I'm not hearing this.

Yeah, and put your hand
in that box.

-Is this the fastest way
to get you out of there?
-Trust me.

-[scoffs]
-One hand in the box.

Well, look at it.

A record, so?

Our first date.

The Riverview Restaurant.

And we heard...
