Original subtitles

All I want to do is I want to bail them out, and I want

to get the hell out of here.

How sick are you?

I have AIDS,

and it's because I was stupid.

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

Look, yesterday, I met this really beautiful young woman

who's dying of AIDS.

Who's that?

I believe that would be badass Lester, Temple.

What's he doing?

Looking for a target.

Stop, Lester.

Stop.

Trophy?

A reminder until I find him again.

Lester, open up.

He's running.

Scott, you're breaking in.

MPD don't move!

Go, go, go. Get down on the floor.

Okay, wait a minute.

You're telling me the perp fell from two flights up

right into a trash dumpster?

What is the problem with that now?

A little convenient, don't you think?

Excuse me.

Who's telling the story here?

- Huh? - Oh, okay.

Alright.

You are under arrest, Lester.

(coughing)

Jenny?

Doctor!

Nurse, she's not breathing.

Coming, doctor.

Okay, put her on 100% oxygen.

Hi.

You're still here.

I'm glad.

I want you to finish telling your story.

I think you should get some rest.

No.

I don't want to be alone.

Please.

I want you to stay.

Finish telling me about your day.

Now, don't skip anything.

Anything.

Alright.

Where were we?

We just arrested Lester, right?

Right.

And besides the gun that Temple got off,

and we found 2 kilos of coke in his apartment.

It's cocaine, alright.

Make sure your PD-81s are complete, carbons tend to stick.

You miss a page, comes back to haunt us in court.

Yes, sir.

Another bus will be here shortly, folks.

Ron, best estimate?

15 minutes or 25?

I'll walk.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Clayton.

I need an ambulance.

A man has fallen off a ladder and he's unconscious.

Clayton. Oh my God.

Just east of H and Menefe.

In front of the Menefe Street bakery.

- Yes, hurry, please. - Clayton.

God, please.

Somebody help me.

He's not breathing.

He doesn't have a pulse.

He's got...

Is anybody here a doctor?

Parras, Assistant US attorney wants to examine

the drug evidence we got from Lester.

I already shipped it to the vault, sir.

Go get it and take it to him.

(voice in background) I think it was arson.

We have to check.

(voice in background) Push it up on the step.

(voice in background) No problem.

Bodine.

What are you doing?

I was just waiting for you knuckleheads to show.

It was just on my way to see you.

Well, I was so excited with anticipation, I couldn't wait.

That gun you guys recovered from the Lester Richards bust?

Yeah.

Big jackpot.

The shell casings match the ones from that drug buy

murder in Southeast.

- Tony Fyala case? - Mm-hmm.

A little extra credit, ran the prints off the gun,

and got a sweepstakes winner.

Dorian Joyce.

Big Dojo.

Haven't seen him in a while.

Let's see what we got here.

What do you know?

It fits the description we got from a woman who

witnessed Fyala's murder.

Big Dojo.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Crooks always got the best names.

I remember I arrested a guy once by the name of Eddie Leonetti.

Now, for three weeks,

I thought I was chasing three different guys,

Eddie, Lee, and Eddie.

Eddie,

Lee, and Eddie.

Okay.

What would we do without you, Bodine?

Well, I ask myself the same question every day.

So where's Detective Page?

Is he seeing anybody that you know of?

I wouldn't know.

Well, does he run out of work at five o'clock

or does he work a lot over time?

Bodine, I think you took a wrong turn getting here.

I think you should back it up. You know what I'm saying?

What's the problem, Debreno? Why are you getting so nervous?

It's a simple question. Is he available or not?

Thanks for the lead, Carol.

Oh, now it's Carol.

It was another four minutes before the ambulance got there.

More like 15.

You saved his life, Ella.

That's what all the paramedics said.

Yeah, I guess it did.

Felt good to help, you know.

It felt real good.

Hey, what do you think of Bodine?

Bodine?

Yeah, the check down on the gun lab.

There's something about her.

I don't know. She's all right.

You think about making a move?

Me? No.

I just noticed her the other day, and

there's something sexy about her.

I don't know.

What was that?

Bug.

Dead bug.

Son of a bitch.

Roaches.

That is nasty.

Yeah, they're eating our evidence.

Cockroaches try coke.

Well, what doesn't kill them, it only makes them stronger.

Wait a minute.

Why doesn't it kill them?

Let me see that.

- It's sugar. - Stop.

Wait a minute.

What's the problem?

Oh, I know.

You're afraid of bugs. No.

But how did we get to evidence warehouse?

Yeah, well, I've got a lot to teach you about

solving crimes, little girl.

Prepare to be instructed

Okay?

Now, we got Lester for possession of...

Sugar.

Two keys of cocaine and

A gun.

Okay.

Now, we use the gun to get to

Big Dojo, right?

Who we arrest for whacking Tony Fyala, the drug dealer.

Now, all I got to do is put Lester at the scene of the

murder, and I can put him away and throw away the key.

But you already got Lester in custody.

Not for murder.

Right.

So that's how you got to the evidence warehouse.

You were trying to tie the bricks you found at

Lester's to the cocaine you found with Tony Fyala's body.

I didn't see anything about finding cocaine

with Tony Fyala's body.

Well, you would have had to.

Otherwise, your story doesn't make sense.

You're using the cocaine to tie

Lester to the murder,

right?

You are so smart.

French Connection.

- Oh, yeah. - My favorite movie.

Best car chase ever filmed, huh?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Well, may I use my gun, please, now?

Please.

Be careful with it.

This looks good.

- Temple. - Chief.

We've got the log here for everybody who's been

in the warehouse since the drugs were bought in,

and we have surveillance video.

So that would be several DEA agents, some capital police,

and four of our own officers.

Everybody on the list gets a question.

Right.

DEA is testing the other drug store here.

So far, no more sugar.

Okay, well, let's account for every second that coke

was in our possession, right?

Yes, sir.

It's sugar.

It's been here for at least three hours.

Dexter Go-lightly.

Dexter Go-lightly?

Exterminator.

Does a cape come with their name?

I thought you were nodding off.

I was resting my eyes.

You don't have to be here, Jack.

What are you talking about?

I got a captive audience.

Okay, continue.

All right, so Dexter. Okay.

He wasn't exactly Zeus.

Not even close.

Dexter Go-lightly.

You smell that?

That musty smell?

- You smell it? - Yeah.

No, okay. The musty smell.

Yeah, they produce that smell.

The mustier, the more cockroaches we got.

Say we're looking at 60 to 100 of those little fellows

roaming around in here.

Smell plus amount of sugar missing plus

environment, dampness, darkness, availability of crevices

equals three hours.

- Plus or minus? - What?

Nothing.

It's an exact science, and I'm the best at what I do.

A lot like you are.

Don't you get tired of it?

People telling you don't know what you're doing.

I mean, who are they anyway, huh?

Oh.

Got us a casualty.

Paraplaneta Americana.

One female can produce 800 nymph a year.

Wow.

And of course, if eggs were hatched in the last 6 hours,

my work here has just begun.

The sugar is a generic store-bought variety.

No traces of cocaine.

I'd like the FBI chem lab to test it.

You're going to get the same results.

You're talking about the duct tape, not the sugar.

Mm-hmm.

It's running through their national forensic tape file.

They can tell us who made it and who sells it.

Mm-hmm. I'd like to know who bought it.

I agreed to prosecute Lester Richards based on

half a million dollars worth of cocaine, not a buck 89

worth of powder sugar.

The warrant was for a conspiracy to commit murder.

It had nothing to do with these two kilos of cocaine.

I will never make conspiracy stick.

Listen, the kid you popped for attempted murder, Joey Dutton,

you never got him to flip on Lester, so he'd walk for that.

I'm afraid he's going to walk on this

without half a kilogram of cocaine, gentlemen.

I predict that Lester Richards will be out of here...

Before a rush hour.

Chief, if we can prove that Lester had something to do with

the switch, we can get him for evidence tampering, right?

Yeah, now, how about that, Bruce?

Give us a chance to work on Big Dojo.

Maybe you'll give up Lester in exchange for a deal.

I don't have a case.

Any judge would throw this out in a red that second,

and I am not going to tap dance to prevent it.

I'm sorry. Come on, let's go.

Chief, if you've got a dirty cop in this department, you might

do well to spend the next 24 hours trying to find him.

Gee, thanks, Singer.

know a much better place for lunch.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

Oh, I'm busy.

Too many cases, not enough time.

You know, the life of a detective.

Right.

Yeah.

Men, they are so threatened by a woman

who goes after what she wants.

Oh, yeah?

Baudine is not just any woman.

She has extensive knowledge of weaponry.

These drugs went missing on our watch, chief.

No, hold, hold.

This lists the entire chain of custody

for that brick of cocaine.

Now, you've got DEA officers on here,

Lester Richard's attorney, an assistant US attorney.

All of a sudden, you decided the MPD is involved.

- How's that? - We made the bust, sir.

That makes it our problem.

Indeed, I say that our reputation is on

the line here as well.

All right, let's say you're right.

Where do we start?

I want access to bank records and credit reports of any cop

who touched that brick.

If they've got money problems, I want to know about it.

You're going to need a subpoena.

Or an order from you.

You just say the word chief, they'll cooperate.

Anything else on your wish list?

- Yeah, I want wire taps. - No.

- Whoever has these drugs... - No.

I'm not going to start treating cops like criminals

until I get some evidence.

Yes, that's right. It's a 27% increase.

For auto thefts only.

Well, I can run the numbers again, Commander,

but it won't make...

Yeah, well right back at you.

Can I help you?

Ella Farmer?

Yes.

They're alleging that the paralysis

wouldn't have happened if I had and moved him.

He wasn't breathing, chief.

I didn't have a choice.

They're going to need a lawyer.

How about I call Jimmy Rufalo? Maybe he can recommend somebody.

Should have waited for the next bus.

You did the right thing.

Clayton Baxter was lying

on the ground, motionless.

No one else knew what to do.

At least that's what I thought, but

maybe they just didn't want to get involved.

Once you signed them out, did the drugs ever

leave your possession?

No, I took them directly to the US attorney's office.

Did you respond to any other calls on your way

to or from his office?

No, sir.

Did you leave your car unattended at any point?

No, sir.

I took myself out of service, all strictly SOP.

It's been a rough year for you, hasn't it?

Hospitalized with a concussion,

diagnosed with Huntington's disease.

You feel okay?

I was told my medical records would be kept private.

And they will.

You've racked up $15,000 in credit card debt

over the last year and a half, medical bills, et cetera.

How are you planning to pay that off?

Not by selling coke.

You were the only officer to courier the drugs.

It wasn't accompanied by a partner or monitored

by surveillance cameras.

I was given an assignment.

I executed it.

I was 1099.

If that's a crime, you're going to have your hands full.

We're not done here. Yeah, we are.

If you're talking a criminal investigation, I'll talk to you

when I have my lawyer.

Until then, my personal life stays personal.

Hey, Detective.

Hey.

Come on in, guys. There's room.

You set me up.

What are you talking about?

All that Bodine business, you set me up.

I didn't set you up with anything.

At last, I recall you the one who said she

was good to go, man.

No, no, no, no, not for me, for you.

And you knew that, and that's why you set it up.

No, please. You're being paranoid.

No, I'm not.

Before today, I never saw her outside of the gun lab.

Now, I see her everywhere I go. Really?

Yeah.

- Maybe she is stalking you. - Yeah, she stalking me.

- What you going to do about it? - Me?

Yeah, you.

You got to go and you tell her that I'm not feeling it.

- You tell her? - Why me?

What, you scared of her?

Hell, yeah.

Oh, Wait, she doesn't exactly strike me as the person

who is willing to take no for an answer.

You know what I mean?

It's going to have to be a man and be straight up and just

tell her I'm not feeling it.

What's she going to do?

I don't know.

I'd lock up my door if I were you.

How long have you been in IA, Captain?

About three years.

You think I've forgotten what it's like to

be in uniform, don't you?

Yeah, I do.

Well, I haven't.

You don't like what I do.

You don't like how I do it.

Nobody does.

That doesn't mean it doesn't have to be done.

That's good, Captain.

They teach you that in IA school?

Is that part of the IA handbook?

How to Justify My Job?

Hey, Ella. Hi.

- How are you feeling? - Good.

- Yeah? - Mm-hmm.

Well, I brought you something.

A flyer for this Saturday's AIDS rally.

Oh, little shoe prints.

- You don't like it? - Oh, no I love it.

Wow.

I just can't believe it's going to finally happen.

My dream.

This is all mixed up.

The three of us, you know?

I mean, both of you are taking the time

to work with me on the rallies.

I mean, you're both so busy.

You're the chief of police.

My brother's a criminal, and I'm...

A friend.

And friends help friends.

Jenny, I don't know why,

but this was meant to be,

the three of us.

Yeah, you think so?

Oh, I know so.

Yeah.

I don't think I'm going to be at that rally, chief.

Oh, yeah, you are.

You're going to be there, Jenny.

Promise me.

I promise.

We got a long day, chief. I can stay with her.

No, I'll stay.

I'll stay.

At least get something to eat?

Can't do it, Ella.

In the middle of a long story.

- A good one, too. - Alright.

- Call me if you need me. - Absolutely.

Thanks, Ella.

She's dying, chief.

She's in pain.

I know she is, but she asked me not to put her on the drip.

She wants to be awake when the end comes.

When do you think?

I can't answer that.

But I think she'll be lucky to see the sunrise.

The duct tape on the sugar brick was made by USA tape.

They sell it at shee-she hardware stores all over town.

Same tape used at the Fyala crime scene?

No, different brands.

All right, whoever exchanged the sugar for the coke,

rewrapped it with their own tape, not just any duck tape,

expensive duck tape.

Gentlemen, have a good time shopping.

Thank you, sir.

When I was a little girl, I went to see

my great grandmother when she was dying.

I remember my mother painting her toenails.

I asked her, why does she need her toenails painted

if she's never going to go anywhere again?

And my grandmother said,

baby girl, when I get to heaven,

first thing I may get me is some of those beautiful shoes,

like the ones they got magazines.

Where the toes are out.

She wanted to look nice and beautiful

when she finally met Jesus.

Yeah.

Just don't tell them who did this, alright?

You're doing a good job.

Sing it for me.

No. Come on.

I'm not good at it.

Come on.

Sing it.

Please.

I love it.

Alright.

Yes.

Do you have first aid certification, Ms. Farmer?

Yes.

The department requires its employees to take a course and

get certified every two years.

But you don't have any medical degrees or experience?

No.

So you can't tell if someone has a broken neck?

No, I can't.

Don't they teach you in those first aid courses not

to move an injured person?

He wasn't breathing.

They also teach us that three minutes with no oxygen to the

brain and there's brain damage.

Any longer and you die.

Were you there for three minutes?

That's an awful long time.

I know it took longer than three minutes

for the ambulance to get there.

Doesn't anybody understand that I saved his life?

Do we know that for sure? I mean,

we don't know that he wouldn't have survived

without your help.

What we do know is that he's paralyzed.

He fell from a nine-foot ladder.

And knowing that, you still moved his neck.

Ms. Farmer, please.

We're just asking the questions

Mr. Baxter's attorney will ask if this goes trial.

And I'm suggesting that it doesn't.

We should make a settlement offer.

No.

No.

If I lose this, I'm going down fighting, not caving in.

You wonder what's happened to the goodness in people.

You wonder where all the good Samaritans have gone.

- Hey. - Hey.

I was just going to call you.

Two more The casings were recovered from crime scenes

that match the one from Lester's gun.

They were both robberies in Virginia.

Good.

Hey, listen, Bodine. I'm sorry.

Carol.

I just wanted to tell you that I...

Well, if you got something to say, Detective, just say it.

Well, if those casings don't match,

it's going to be a problem, so.

Oh, well, yeah, I'm positive they do.

Good.

Hey, do you want to get some coffee sometime?

- Coffee? - Yeah.

Sure.

Yeah. Yeah, okay.

I'll call you or you can call me.

You know what? We just...

You know, one of us will call the other.

You know, whatever.

I'll call you.

Yeah.

How'd it go, Romeo?

I'm having coffee with Bodine.

I couldn't say no.

- You couldn't say no. - Well, I meant to.

I gave her the whole brush-off flavor,

the stammering, the hesitation.

I backed out the door.

As you do.

So where are you going to take her?

See, you're enjoying this, right?

You're enjoying this.

I'm glad I could be your entertainment

for the afternoon.

Come on, Temple, it's just coffee.

Of course,

well, at least it remains to be seen.

Good luck, buddy.

Hey, Page, a little bit of advice.

Stay away from Carol Bodine.

What?

I don't want to have to kick your ass.

You know what I mean?

Hi.

Hi.

Do we know you?

No, not really.

You're the one who-Called the ambulance.

I'm the one who took off her coat, draped it over you.

I'm the one who didn't say there was nothing I could do to help.

I can't walk.

I'll never walk again.

But you're alive.

Mr.

Baxter, what were you thinking when you were falling?

That you'd pick yourself up, dust yourself

off, and walk away? Excuse me.

You shouldn't be here.

I was just leaving.

Shame on you for making me hesitate the next time

someone needs my help.

Ms. Farmer.

When I was falling, I was

thinking about my wife, about

my parents, and I'd miss them.

I was thinking I was going to die.

You're required to remain with confiscated drug evidence

during an attorney's inspection.

Is that I stepped outside of the room.

It was long enough for him to make the switch.

Yes, sir. Can you excuse me a moment?

It's confidential. Absolutely.

I stepped just outside of the office.

You were required to remain with confiscated drug evidence

during an attorney's inspection, right?

Chief, I told you that I was-You made a mistake, Nancy.

You made a mistake.

As a result of the mistake, we've now got Hunter

breathing down her neck.

We're opened up to a possible liability suit because of

your medical condition.

Sir, if you're thinking what happened,

HD had nothing to do with it.

I told you I'd tell you if there was a problem, you trusted me.

Does what happened today change that?

No, not for me.

But tell me something, what happens the next time?

There won't be a next time.

Chief. Sir.

Gentlemen, I'm right in the middle of

interviewing a witness. Well, you were.

Let me call him back. No, no, no.

Please stay seated.

I'd like you to meet a friend of mine, Mr.

Dexter. Go lightly.

Dexter, come on in here.

Dexter is going to amaze you with his cucarachias.

That's a jar full of cockroaches.

Sir, this is ridiculous.

You want to put on your night vision goggles, Bruce?

Come on now.

Here we go.

You're crazy, Manu.

Like a fox.

If I'm not mistaken, I'm in his hen house.

Yep.

The dependability of the cockroach is

an under appreciated phenomenon.

Okay, see, so Lester knows that Singer's sending

the nose candy he sees him buying on the street, right?

So when Lester finds out Singer is going to prosecute his case,

he decides to leverage him, going to rat him out unless

Singer makes his case go away.

What?

I'm scared, Jack.

Oh, Jenny.

I don't want to die in here.

Don't let me die in this room, Jack.

It has to be time, just right.

The sun breaks the horizon.

And the water picks up the light.

It's absolutely beautiful.

It's like God is saying, the whole world is full

of life and possibility.

It's my favorite time of day.

I love it.

Amazing Grace, how the sound

that saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost,

but now I'm found,

was blind, but now I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart

to fear, and grace my fears,

How precious

did that grace appear?

The hour I first believed.

Amazing grace,

how sweet the sound

that saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost, but now

I'm found, was blind, but now I

see, was blind, But now I see.

Was blind, but now I see.

I heard. Yeah.

Well, you know.

You expect it, but you don't.

You know, the Baxter has decided to drop their suit.

All right. Well, that's a good thing.

Yeah.

Still want to do this?

Oh, yeah.

Absolutely.

I came here this afternoon to listen to the inspired words

of my friend, Jenny McClure,

who was the driving force

behind today's rally.

Jenny can't be here.

She lost her battle with AIDS this morning.

The shoes you place her today on the Capitol steps

belong to your loved ones who also lost their lives

to this terrible disease.

Christopher Joy, Nora Romero,

Peter Sterling, Lorianne,

Barney Scott, Carmen Hall,

Those are just five

of the 43 Americans who died yesterday of AIDS.

43 more will die today,

tomorrow, and the next day,

and every day until we do something to stop it.

Three months ago, I did not know much about the AIDS crisis.

I thought I did.

I thought it was under control.

I thought it had nothing to do with me, and I

thought somebody else was doing something about it.

Well, I was wrong.

Through Jenny, I've been touched by it,

and now I'm doing something.

But do we have to wait until we've all been touched?

Will it be too These are Jenny's shoes.

Let her footsteps and theirs lead us to a cue.

Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.
