Chief, I'm gonna take off.

It's early for you, isn't it, Joe?

I gotta pick up a few emergency food cravings for Gayle.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, listen, why don't you take a scout car?

You know, light, siren, that kinda thing.

Believe me, I'm considering it.

Okay, what else you got on your list?

Okay, let me it,

cheese with dill, canned peaches,

Chunky Monkey ice cream, and sardines.

Oh.

Well, you know, Sherry used to have me run into

into this place in Little Italy.

Uh-huh.

They had so, so food there, but they had a--

- a Puttanesca sauce. - What?

- Peas and capers. - Chief.

Chief. Deputy Chief.

Officers.

- All right, goodnight, Joe. - Okay.

Have a good night, man.

Give my best to the little lady.

Goodnight, Chief.

Joe!

Yeah, I'm fine. Secure the damn gate!

- Do you recognize him? - No.

Call an ambulance.

Chief?

- You sure you're all right? - I'm fine.

- Gonna call Gail? - I'll call, yeah.

[intro music]

Do you really think I'd rather be here than there?

No, I told you. Excuse me.

- Oh, huh. - Got to go, go.

She must be happy you didn't get run over, huh?

Besides herself.

Joys of marriage.

Chief, you're demolition man here had a heart attack.

They're taking him upstairs for an angiogram.

- See if he needs surgery. - What about his ID?

That check out?

Yeah, he's a salesman for a pharmaceutical company

in Philly called "Kearny Woods".

Some yo-yo tried to carjack him.

Got away with over 100 grand in drugs, Viagra,

Codeine, some AIDS stuff.

Anyway, he fought him off and was on his way to HQ

to report it when the heart attack hit.

Any help from the scene of the carjacking?

We're canvassing the area.

CSU is out there.

We're gonna check out the car at HQ.

Okay, look, show him some photos.

Get a sketch artist down here.

And check Commander Young in the night.

They had a carjacking involving pharmaceuticals last week.

- See if it hooks up. - Will do.

Atta boy.

Dr. Berg, report to OR. Dr. Berg, report to OR.

Mm.

Mm-hmm.

I'm there. Hey, what's your goal?

Something sweet.

I'm impressed, Chief.

I mean, 20 pounds all on the get shot and roam aimlessly

around Europe diet? That's great.

I'd let that go, if I were you.

No.

You see, the key to a successful weight loss program, if I may,

is incentive, something to look forward to after

you've lost the weight.

Where the hell is it?

Okay, it's gone.

It's gone!

What's gone?

My Jiffy bar is gone.

Well, I didn't eat it.

Come on.

I did not eat your Jiffy bar.

Seven carjacking's, eight if you count last night.

Each victim was a pharmaceutical rep and each crime report

says that drugs were stolen.

Mr. Henry Norwood.

Stolen property, 10 cases, pharmaceutical sample,

street value, $100,000.

Deputy Chief, will you help me out?

Roberta Paulson, 14 cases of pharmaceuticals.

Approximate value, $90,000.

Rafael Pedroza, 12 cases of pharmaceuticals.

Randall Fukusawa, nine cases.

Estimated value, $160,000.

How many of the victims' cars did we recover, Deputy Chief?

- Six. - Six.

Now, is auto theft recovery really that easy?

Are we that good?

Or did somebody start to see that maybe this wasn't

about stolen cars.

Nobody started putting together a pattern here.

How about you, Commander?

Yes, sir.

- We have now, sir. - Oh, good.

Good. Ferris, do me a favor.

Put up hospitals.

Yes, sir.

And the doctors' offices, clinics.

Now give me drug stores and pharmacies

for half a million, if you would.

Okay, according to the crime report, Henry Norwood

was attacked last night within 15 minutes of leaving

his last appointment at the Carson Free Clinic on K Street.

Now, my guess is that he and these other victims

were not hit at random.

Why don't we see if I'm right?

Now, before you go, I-- there's one other thing.

Ferris, would you put up my Jiffy Bar, please?

A candy bar belonging to me is missing.

It's 2.75 ounces of fine milk chocolate

with crisped rice.

It was last seen in the refrigerator

in our little day room in the freezer

behind the ice trays, right where I left it.

And now it's gone.

Somebody in this room ate my candy bar,

or they know somebody who did.

Anybody?

Okay.

We're gonna do it the hard way, aren't we?

Play a little hard ball.

Let the game begin.

Hi. I'm Melinda Lockhart.

It's nice to meet you.

I sure need your vote.

Hi, I'm running for mayor.

I don't think closing clinics

ain't hard for people like yourself

with basic health services is the answer

to budget cutbacks, do you?

I need your vote to keep our community clinic open.

Book the twins for 5:00.

Squeeze Mr. Griffin in for my 2:00.

I'll get to everybody.

I promise.

Clinic, may I help you?

You are.

You think she has something better to do than waste

her money on some random campaign?

You don't think she can win?

No, she's a good-looking white woman.

So what are you saying that a good-looking woman

couldn't run this town?

I'm saying this is Chocolate City.

You got a point there.

I told you we'd get them.

All five drugs, the entire antiretroviral therapy,

a full month supply.

Oh, thank God.

We need you to stay healthy, Jenny.

Yeah. Okay.

Okay. Thank you, Dr. Chris.

Thank you.

And what-- What about when these run out?

We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

Okay. Thank you.

Detectives Page and Debreno, MPD.

We'd like to ask you a few questions.

- Jenny, I'll see you next month. - Okay.

There was a robbery last night.

The victim was a pharmaceutical rep, Henry Norwood.

Henry?

Is he okay?

He got beat up, and he had a slight heart attack,

but he'll survive.

He was here yesterday, right?

Yes, I'm on his roster.

He comes by here a couple of times a month.

You had any trouble lately?

Anything involving Mr. Norwood?

Perhaps somebody from the neighborhood

- trying to shake you down? - No, nothing.

Is it possible that one of your patients--

Is what, Detective?

Capable of such a thing?

Look around.

These people have nothing.

When you have nothing, sometimes you'll do anything.

You know what I'm saying?

Well, we're gonna need a list of all the patients

who were here yesterday, then.

Sorry, not without a warrant.

Nothing personal, but I got to live here.

- That's all. - Fine.

Then we come back with a warrant.

Anything else?

If you hear anything, give us a call.

I don't think the Redskins can make the play-offs,

I mean, they don't have a quarterback.

Detective Page.

- Okay, but-- - I've been looking for you.

Your social came up. You got to be kidding me.

All right.

I need your signature right there.

You got two hours to report and take your drug test.

Whoa, whoa, wait up, wait up, wait up.

What are you worried about?

Crack's out of your system five, six days.

I didn't just smoke crack, I smoked weed.

When?

When we're on that undercover gig.

- Oh, man. - When I had to, man.

- It was getting hot. - You trying to get canned?

- No, I was trying to stay alive. - It's no big deal.

We can fix this.

One of the lab techs is a friend of mine.

He owes me. We can make this all go away.

No, man.

I don't want to dig this hole any deeper.

You know what I'm saying?

Temple, you knew the regs.

You had 24 hours after you were forced to use to report.

You didn't.

They find out, they're just gonna fire your ass.

If I had done that, I would have had to go to detox, right?

Would've have blown the whole gig.

Toro and all his other boys will be out on the street dealing.

Yeah, okay.

I hear what you're saying, but--

I hear what you're saying, buddy.

But it ain't gonna fly with the Chief

if your piss comes back hot.

We need a cleanup on aisle four.

Clean up on aisle four.

I wouldn't try that one.

It's horrible.

Hey, Kendall.

So is this a religious fast, a binge fast,

or is there something else going on?

You don't want to know.

Well, in that case, may I suggest um, wheatgrass--

- Mm-hmm.

Spinach, little lemon juice, and raw sauerkraut.

Please tell me you don't drink that stuff.

Once a week.

- Blend it on ice. - You know what?

I'm gonna stick with this poison right here.

But thank you very much for your concern.

Okay. Tried to help.

Kendall Truman, please return to the pharmacy counter.

Kendall Truman, return to the pharmacy counter, please.

- I'll see you later. - All right.

- Bye. Bye-bye. - Bye.

Your insurance company doesn't cover birth control anymore.

- Do you still want these? - Yes.

I'll take them anyway.

Thank you.

Chief, the DEA is not--

Did you read the file I sent over?

I got no authorization to talk to you about what I'm working.

- You know that. - Did you read it?

- What did I just say? - Did you?

Yes.

Okay, now anybody you got on your radar fit

the guy I'm looking for.

Chief, the black market for prescription drugs

in this country, it's a $25 billion business.

You know, I mean--

There's a lot of guys that are out there pushing pharms, okay?

To find your guy is like finding a needle in a haystack.

- Come on. - Hey, hey, hey.

Except we got a description of the guy

in the file if you've read it, and the haystack is DC.

Yeah, well, I--

So I don't see what's the problem.

Why are you-- why are you coming to me

and torturing me about it?

Let me tell you a true story, all right?

September 10th, 2001.

A Maryland State Trooper stops a car for speeding, okay?

He runs a description of the guy.

Nothing comes back.

And so he's got to give the guy a speeding ticket.

He takes off.

Two days later, the FBI finds that car in the parking lot

at Logan International Airport in Boston.

The FBI knows it's one of the hijacker's cars, all right?

They knew about these guys before September 11th.

If they share that information with the cops, maybe,

just maybe, something else would have happened.

Who knows?

Now, I don't care about authorizations.

All I need is you know, a name. How about a name?

I'm interested in catching crook.

- Give me a name, Jimmy. - Okay.

- Talk to me. - Okay.

All right. Jeez.

The guy's name is Otis.

Otis McClure.

He works off the bus line off New York Avenue selling farms.

We just not ready to move in on him yet.

- That's what I'm saying. - All right.

I-- I don't want you to screw me up.

I don't want to screw you up, you know?

I don't want to screw you up.

But hey, listen, if--

if you ever decide to stop working

- for the DEA, just call me up-- - Yeah, right.

Yeah. What do you want to poach me now?

Uh, it's better poached than fried.

Come on, Jimmy. I mean, we communicated.

- Yeah. - It was good.

Take it.

Put the cup in the tray, please.

Right there, Detective.

The tray.

Use that as a reference before you take the test.

Mm-hmm.

Right, right.

Chief Mannion.

Hey, how's it?

I got Temple, Debreno working on that DEA tip.

Looking for Mr. McClure right now.

What else you got?

A couple of doctors, yanking that chain over patient-doctor

confidentiality.

Making it a little tough to get those lists of suspects,

but we'll get it done.

Huh. Tell me something, the missus, now,

still upset about you coming home late last night, huh?

- She's mad at you. - Me?

Why me?

Well, she said if you hadn't stolen

the Chief's job out from under me,

I'd be working reasonable hours, thus having avoided

almost being killed by a runaway car and sending a pregnant woman

her age to bed without coming home with her

Chunky Monkey Ice Cream.

I see.

It's all about ice cream, isn't it?

Mm-hmm. Chunky Monkey.

Yeah, well, tell you what, I'll kiss and make up

- at the auction tonight. - How's that?

She's not going to be there.

She also said if it's so important with me

to spend time with people from work after work,

I could do it without her.

I see.

- Any names mentioned there? - Yours.

Yeah, I figured.

Woman's getting very mean and large.

Yeah.

Not sure how I'm the one who got hoodwinked

into being auctioned off at this stupid charity event.

It's for a worthy cause, man.

Ella's doing a good thing for the kids, and you get a free

lunch with some big socialite.

Yeah, but it's embarrassing.

Not to mention risky. What do you mean?

You may end up with a butterface.

A butterface?

Yeah, you know, a gorgeous body, butterface.

What do you mean? Like a busted grill.

Exactly.

You got a point there.

But you know,

it may break you out of this dry spell you got going.

Well, at least mine's a spell, not a lifestyle.

Hey, you know what? It's my choice.

I ain't getting nothing. You, good luck to that.

I appreciate it.

Yo, yo, wait up, man. Wait up.

Hello, Otis.

Neighborhood drug mobile.

That's good work if you can get it.

Okay.

You have a good week, aight?

He's doing a runner.

Hey, yo.

Otis, stop!

MPD!

Feels we're after him, right?

I guess he doesn't want to die.

Hands on your head.

Who is the man? Hands--

Hands up on your head.

You've got that evidence for me there?

Nice doggy.

Son of a--

We can tie Otis McClure to three of the carjacking's.

We got four positive makes, and a maybe,

that'll line up so far.

Mr. Norwood, Chief Mannion.

How do you do?

I'm doing okay. All right, good.

- You ready? - Yes, sir.

All right.

All right, step all the way down to the end.

No, there's no pressure.

No guessing, okay?

Just take your time.

Just don't put the finger on somebody just to get it done,

all right?

Okay.

Number five, eyes forward.

That's him.

There's a son of a bitch right there, number two.

You sure?

That's him.

Otis McClure.

He was brought in here an hour ago.

Is this place so big that you lose people?

Please take a seat and I'll see what I can do.

No, you said that 20 minutes ago.

Look, all I want to do is I-- I want to bail him out,

and I want to get the hell out of here.

Mike, would you get her some water, please?

Yeah, sure.

No, I'm fine.

I just...

I-- I need to sit down.

All right, come on, let me help you.

Come on.

Yeah. Yeah.

Thank you.

Your brother was identified in a lineup

for carjacking and-- and robbery.

He's in booking.

They're taking him to jail?

Oh, this can't be happening.

They've got to be wrong.

I can't afford a lawyer.

Is there anything I can do to get Otis out of here?

I'm sorry.

Can I speak to a public defender?

He won't get one until his arraignment.

How sick are you?

I have AIDS, okay?

Look, I know how tough it can be to be sick.

I had cancer.

But there are organizations out there.

This is a little different than cancer, okay?

This isn't hereditary

or caused by the dreadful tobacco companies.

Now, I have AIDS, and it's because I was stupid,

because I wasn't careful that I'm dying.

There's no remedy or sympathy for what I got.

That's not true.

Oh, yeah?

In order to afford the medicine to keep me alive,

I took a part-time job as a grocery clerk.

Except then, I made too much money,

so they canceled my Medicaid.

Now, I depend on the generosity of my doctor and money

from my brother when he's not in jail.

Stay alive.

Help.

It's unaffordable.

Okay, why the ice trays?

Because I'm thinking, Joe, that whoever the thief

or thieves were, they didn't know my candy bar was in there.

They were looking for ice.

So we're looking for an ice cube junkie.

Possibly.

When you're done there, Steve, I want you to pull

for hair and fibers.

Yes, sir.

Hey, Chief. You're gonna be late.

No, no. It's a crime scene here, Nancy.

Oh, that's okay.

I just came for a little bit of ice.

Nancy.

Okay, I'll go without.

All right, ladies, let's meet our next bachelor.

He's single, he's gorgeous,

and he's in need of a little TLC.

He's the strong, silent, mysterious type,

and if he catches you doing wrong,

you won't want to do right.

Was it crunchy?

What?

My Jiffy Bar, was it crunchy?

Our very own Kevin Debreno.

Now, do we have an opening bid?

Don't forget, the money goes to pediatric cancer research--

Hey.

- And to provide--

- Hey. - Hey.

Of low-income families.

Now, we are talking protect and serve here,

if you know what I'm saying.

$1,000.

$1,000 to Ms. Melinda Lockhart,

who is running one heck of a mayoral campaign,

I might add.

Do I hear another bid?

Anyone?

- Say something. - Anyone?

Say something about what?

About what happened today in the pharmacy.

Oh, that.

Yeah, that.

Just feel a little like an elephant in the room

since it happened, don't you think?

So you want me to say something?

- Yeah. - Anything.

Anything.

So you have sex?

Um, yes. Yes.

I-- I-- I, uh-- Yes. Temple.

Yes.

Girls, this is no time to be cheap.

It's about charity.

Now show me the money.

Chief, I did not steal your candy bar.

Oh yeah. Sure.

- 4,000. - 4,000.

- Debreno? - 4,500.

4,500.

Do I hear 5,000?

Give me your car keys. Don't leave me here.

Come on, come on. I'll to freeze to death.

Come on, come on.

$10,000.

- $10,000. - That's like a car.

Going once, going twice,

sold to Ms. Melinda Lockhart for $10,000.

What a wonderful--

It's very generous, Ms. Lockhart.

When you're ready to get together, just give me a call.

On behalf of Statesman Memorial Children's Ward.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

You have anything against a polygraph?

- Hello? - I'm ready.

So would you like a drink?

Are you still on the clock?

You tell me, it's your clock.

Well, I would love a bourbon.

Neat.

Good choice.

Nice ride you got here.

Must cost you a bundle to run it.

Did you mean to do that?

Not really.

How long are you planning to stay?

Until you kick me off.

Harry?

Yes, ma'am.

We're going to drop the detective

off at police headquarters.

Yes, ma'am.

- Take the long way. - Of course, ma'am.

The victim was a sales rep for (indistinct speech)

Never knew what hit him.

Punched in the code, opened the door, then a ski mask

- came in and blind sided him. - Mm-hmm.

What is this place?

Drug companies store their samples here.

Drug reps have access to it.

So what'd he get?

AIDS medication, but here's the kicker.

The victim severed an artery during the fight,

and the perp came back, tied on a tourniquet,

and then called 911.

He saved his life.

Okay, who do you think we're looking for?

I think our guy knows medicine.

A nurse, a med tech.

Where you been?

Got waylaid.

Waylaid?

Yeah.

What?

Come on, Otis. Give us a name.

Who are you working with?

I ain't got a name.

I guess you two guys made a mistake.

Since there was no possible way I could have done

that thing last night from inside my jail cell.

That's all right.

I'll just accept my apology and go.

You're forgetting that we got a guy that fingered you

- out of the lineup. - Actually, five.

Five witnesses.

And we did find the drugs on you.

Uh-huh.

Look, we're not even really asking for that much,

- are we, Temple? - Mm.

Just the name of the guy you're working with, that's all.

The guy that did the job last night.

Then we can go to the US Attorney and tell him

what a cooperative guy you've been.

Maybe he'll cut you some slack.

Okay.

Dude's name is Lionel Debarge.

I-- Can I go now?

Debarge?

You-- you ever heard of Debarge?

Yeah.

Yeah, I think he's given a concert right now

at the federal pen in Marion.

You know that's the one?

And you know what, man?

If you don't get real with us, and get real with us now.

You're gonna join him in jail.

He's gonna love you in a special way.

How you know that's not his real name?

'Cause we're geniuses.

Well, if you're so smart,

then I guess I ain't got to tell you nothing.

This guy would flip on his own grandmother.

So how come he's not talking?

I think he's protecting somebody he loves more

than his grandmother.

Otis.

Your sister said you like your coffee with

little milk and sweet low.

My sister?

Yeah, Jenny, right? That's your sister.

We brought her in.

You want to lock her up?

What's wrong with you, man?

She ain't got nothing to do with this.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

I thought you might want to tell her what's going on.

That's all.

This is a bluff, man.

I'm smarter than that.

Almost.

But not quite.

Come on.

That's cold, man.

What's this about, Otis?

They say you have something to tell me.

I ain't got nothing to say.

They're messing with you, Jenny.

Otis, please.

Jenny, stay out of it.

Just walk out of here.

You don't have to be here.

Wait, listen, just tell her what's going on.

Just tell her.

And while she's sick at home with AIDS.

You're taking the drugs that she needs,

and you're out there on the street,

and you're selling 'em for money.

Just go ahead. Tell her that.

Don't listen to him.

I wasn't taking your drugs, Jenny.

I was stealing 'em for you.

- I wasn't selling 'em. - Uh-huh.

You were giving them away. Yeah, I gave 'em away.

You damn straight.

To Dr. Carson.

I never sold them to him.

I gave them to him free.

And he promised me that as long as I kept the supply coming,

that he would keep you alive.

I did it for you, Jenny.

Otis.

Scotty.

They expect miracles from me, my patients.

But miracles don't grow on trees.

Mm-hmm.

And you've left them with what exactly?

The federal government has redefined their

assistance programs for AIDS under this administration.

Forced me to choose.

15 lives a year I can save.

That's it.

The others, people I know, people I've cared for,

people I grew up with.

They have no hope.

They had you.

I had to rattle somebody's cage.

I had to go into their temples and turn over the money tables.

I had to get their attention.

Something radical has to be done, Chief,

or none of us will be saved from this disease.

That much I know.

That much I know.

I hope you're wrong.

I'm not.

That's the point.

I'm not.

Chief, you take the doctor out of that community,

you leave those people with nothing.

Well, the good doctor committed a felony,

Ms. Lockhart.

No health care, no options.

One less criminal.

Chief, despite the fact that the district regained

control of the health care system last year,

we still lack a visionary like yourself,

someone who's had the impact that you've had

on policing in this city.

What the hell? You need votes that badly?

Well, I love your endorsement, Chief.

I won't deny that.

But that's not why I'm here.

As you can see, there are no reporters, no cameras.

This is not a photo op.

The same people who depend on that clinic are the same people

who depended on DC General until the mayor shut it down.

They're disenfranchised, they're unprotected.

I mean, just think of the ancillary cost

to society of that.

I do.

Every day.

Ms. Lockhart.

Waylaid, huh?

Get that out of some cop dictionary.

Hey, if you got to look it up.

You uh...

You get the test results back yet?

Yeah.

I'm clean.

No kidding.

I guess you dodged a bullet there, huh?

I told you I wasn't using, but it's nice to know that

somebody out there cares.

Yeah, well, it's a lonely world sometimes, buddy.

You wouldn't happen to have any aftershave, would you?

Uh, yeah.

Let me check.

So what are you up to tonight?

I don't know.

- Oh, you dropped something. - I got it. I got it.

Wow.

It's all a little clearer now, isn't it?

I'm not using.

That's funny 'cause people who aren't usually don't

hide zips inside their wallet.

I keep it to remind me that there's a line

- and not to cross it. - That's stupid.

You're a cop.

You can't be walking around with that crap.

Hey man, this is my business, okay?

And it stays between us.

I said, let go of my hand.

I said, Let go of my hand.

Yeah, so said the junkie.

You let go or we're gonna be fighting.

I was willing to go to the mat for you.

Sir, do you remember the undercover gig I had?

The Toro case?

Well, some stuff went down and I had to smoke crack.

And weed.

I broke the reg, sir.

I didn't go to detox.

- Why not? - I don't know.

Lots of reasons.

I wanted to finish the case.

I was scared.

And then you disappeared

and everybody thought you were dead.

And I thought the last thing that I want to do

was go to detox.

I let you down, sir.

I let myself down.

I let my partner down.

You'll have my resignation in the morning.

You've got what it takes to be a great cop.

You've experienced addiction.

The desperation that goes with it,

you can begin to understand what it drives people,

good people, to do.

And that is the kinda cop that I want working for me.

Now, will you call your FOP rep, file an Ingestion Report,

get the detox by 06:00, and stick with it?

I will, sir.

Thank you.

Your prints are on file, Joe.

That's my Jiffy Bar, Noland.

Ella.

You got a stick in your mouth. I'm not eating it.

Oh, I mean, you know it's a stick, though, don't you?

I was a smoker.

I quit.

I replaced the urge, the need to have something

in my mouth with a stick.

And sometimes when I'm frustrated or angry,

and I mean, really angry,

and I feel a need for a cigarette,

instead, I chew on a stick.

Oh well, just so you know,

when the Sierra Club starts calling me--

Mm, no, Chief.

I can't go.

Look, yesterday, I met this really beautiful young woman

who's dying of AIDS.

And what she told me was so staggering.

I-- I didn't believe it.

I had to find out for myself.

And what I found out scared the hell out of me.

Like what?

Like the fact that the District of Columbia

has the highest AIDS rate in the country,

that one in 20 adults is HIV-positive.

Come on.

That's 12 times, 12 times the national rate.

Now, the cases for women

are occurring at 10 times

the national rate.

- But I thought we had uh-- - What?

That it's a gay disease?

No, no, no, we had it under control.

Well, apparently, it's the opposite.

The AIDS crisis is out of control.

And the problem is the places, where it's out of control,

are places that don't seem to matter to the people

in our government.

Like Africa, Southeast Asia, the inner cities

right here in this country.

Now, if they don't want to see what's happening,

if they don't care,

what chances do people like Jenny McClure have?

I don't know.

I don't know either.

Ella, can I see this?

Is that everything?

Wait, wait.

- Thanks. - You're welcome.

Goodnight.
