(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Come on in.

Hey, partner!
Cop pool is here.
Time to go to work.

As soon as
Romano gets my gear.

Must've had
a tough night.

(GRUNTS)
Mind if I finish
my work out?

(CHUCKLES)
Are you kidding?

I can stand here
and watch you
all day.

Well, if you get bored,
the newspaper is in
the kitchen.

It's okay.
I'll suffer.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Morning.

How you doing, pal?

Boy, it looks like
you've been through
the ringer.

Arlene again?

Arlene...

Actually, it was
more like

having been through
the spin cycle

and tumble dried.

I loved every
minute of it.

Do you have to try
every machine
in the laundromat

before you clean up
your act, Romano?

What's that
supposed to mean?

When are you going to try
and go out with a lady
for a change?

Like Gina.

Stacy's trying to fix you up
with Gina Canelli?

Yeah.

Hey, you're crazy
to say no, man.
She's a good looking lady.

Look, my old man
used to tell me,

"Never dip your pen
in the company ink well."

You know what I mean?

Good advice.

Someone like you
would suck the ink
well dry.

Let's hit it.

No sweat.
We can be
a few minutes late.

The Watch Commander
is on vacation.

Well, who
is handing roll call?

Hooker?
What are you
standing around for?

Come on,
we're late.

Three moving violations
and a malicious mischief.

Hooker, we're not
earning our keep.

Looks like Briggs
and Canelli are having
the same kind of day.

Look, Canelli
probably likes it.

HOOKER:
Why do you say that?

(CHUCKLES) I'm always
kidding her.

She's what, 110 pounds?

If that's
how I weighed in,

I'd sure rather be
writing greenies
than going up against

some mongoose with a knife
and nothing to lose.

Romano, that's a 110 pounds
of black belt in karate
you're talking about.

Hey, don't get me wrong.
I'm all for her.

Same with Stacy.

Women.
I think they're super...

FEMALE DISPATCHER:
All units in the vicinity
and Four-Adam-Thirty.

A two-eleven in progress
at the supermarket.

Ten-nineteen Overland.
Three suspects.

Handle Code Three.

(POLICE SIREN BLARING)

(RADIO BEEPING)

Further description
on the two-eleven suspects,

wearing dark clothing,
white masks.

All units in the vicinity,
handle code two.

GINA:
Four-Adam-Eighteen, Roger!

MAN: Move it!

Move it! Move it!

ROBBER 1: Go!
Let's go! Move it!

(WOMAN YELPING)

ROBBERS: Over there!
Over there!
Over there!

ROBBER 1: You! Money!
Open it up!

You got it.
Come on!

Put it all in here.

All right,
you got it.

All right,
ladies and gentlemen.

No one will get hurt
if you listen to
exactly what I say.

Now turn around. Around!
All right, move it.

Back! Go! Come on, let's go!

Move it!

Come on, come on.
Go! Go!

(ROBBER 1
SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

(POLICE SIREN BLARING)

(WOMAN SCREAMING)

(POLICE SIREN BLARING)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(WOMAN EXCLAIMING)

I see two suspects.
The call said three.

Everyone,
move away from the store.

(CROWD EXCLAIMING)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

Cut him off.

(SIREN BLARING)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

Dump me, I'll look
for the third guy
inside.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

We've got
the east aisle, 30.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(SIREN BLARING CONTINUES)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

You two okay?

I'll cut him off.

(GUN FIRES)

We'll never
get outta here
on foot.

We still got
the Trans Am.

You go for it.
I'll cover you.

Let's just get out
of here.

Hold it!

Romano!
Behind you!

(GUN FIRES)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(SIREN BLARING)

(GASPS)

I tried to shoot.
Romano was in
my line of fire.

Sorry.
They got away.

Get down, sit down.

Briggs is hurt!

How bad is it?

Plenty.

Two of them gone.
Two of us down.

Just leave me alone.

(PANTING)

Check Briggs.

I'll call for
an ambulance.

You were
wide open out here.

(PANTING)

I had cover.

There.

Canelli yelled
a warning to me.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

She didn't fire.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Why?

(CADETS SHOUTING)

ALL: One, two, three.

Hey, how's the hand?

Minor fracture.
I will be out of
the cast in a week.

What's shaking?
What's happening?

The detectives
are still playing

Twenty Questions
with our bad guy.

He's name is
Dean Jarvis.

He's an ex-con
out of San Quentin.

I lay you five
they come up blank.

(CHUCKLES)
You won't
get my money.

What's the word
on Briggs?

He's out
of recovery,

but his shoulder's
torn up pretty bad.
He's hurting.

Where's Canelli?

She's really shook.

It was because
of her that
Briggs got shot.

I don't believe that.

You weren't there
when it happened, Stacy.

Well, maybe not,
but I know Gina.

You're real tight with her.
Big sister, can't do
anything wrong.

Knock it off, you two.

I'm telling you, Hooker.
She froze out there.

ROMANO: She deserves
to be suspended.

Romano...

How much of what happened
today did you actually see,

as opposed to what Briggs
may have told you?

Hey, whose side
are you on?

Briggs and I nearly
got wasted out there!

CORRIGAN: Come on, Romano.

When a shooting goes down,
the moments pop damn fast.

Sometimes, it's not
always that easy
to reconstruct.

What actually went down.

That's right.

I thought
I was with friends.

With my partner.

Could be I was mistaken.

The man's feeling
down, Hooker.

Alone.

Maybe it's
understandable.

(MUTTERS) Yeah, maybe.

Gina.

I want you to know
I'm with you
all the way.

I believe in you.

Thanks, Stace.

(SIGHS) I know how much
I needed that.

A trial board.
I can't believe
it's happening.

It's going to work out.
I know it.

(SIGHS)

Well, If it doesn't,
I'll never wear
this uniform again.

Don't even think that way.

You're going to fight,
and you're going to win.

(SOFTLY) Thank you.

Hey, flake.

You're not gonna let
a hole in your shoulder
keep you down?

Huh?

(STRAINING)
Hey, Romano.

It's good to
see you, buddy.

Just talked
to the nurse.

They're going to
spring you the day
after tomorrow, huh?

That's the good news.

I don't look forward
to the trial board.

I don't enjoy taking
a fellow officer to the mat,

but cowardice
isn't something
you can let go.

Yeah.

Bill.

Hope you don't mind
my falling in
on you like this.

I know how you must
be feeling.

I got some questions
I got to ask you.

Sure...
(GRUNTS)

BRIGGS: I don't mind.

You have any idea why
Canelli didn't pop
the suspect?

Other than cowardice?

No, I wish I did.

Up until the time
of the shooting,

(SCOFFS) I thought she really
had her stuff together.

Tell me about the shooter.
What he looked like?

You're the only one
who got a full face
look at him.

Uh...

Forty-45...

Pretty good shape.

One tough looking case.

Uh, scraggly,

little mustache,
brown hair.

I'm not going to
forget that face
for a long time.

Or what happened.

I'll get the sketch artist
down here in the morning
you can work with.

Meanwhile, you can plan
on a little visit from
Lieutenant Ellis.

Get some rest.

See you at
roll call, partner.

Yeah, right.

(WOMAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY
ON PA SPEAKER)

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

Lieutenant.

Here to see Briggs?

That's right.
What about it?

In your report I noticed
that Briggs' and Canelli's
statements are in conflict

as to the number of shots
fired by the shooter.

Briggs says there were
two shots fired...

Canelli says
there were three.

Exactly what is
your interest
in this matter, Hooker?

All the officers involved
are on my watch.

I'd say that puts me
very personally and squarely
right in the middle.

I think it's Canelli
who's in the middle.

Our investigation
reveals a trend.

She did a similar thing
three years ago

failed to back up
her partner in a
violent field confrontation.

WOMAN: (ON SPEAKER)
Mrs. Fernandez
to the front desk, please.

Mrs. Fernandez.

She's a coward, Hooker.

And that's what I intend
to prove to the trial board.

But, you defended Scanlon
when everyone thought
the Department

had him cold
on taking a bribe.

You proved he was clean.

(SIGHS) Hooker, look,
you've got what I need.

Dedication,
commitment,
objectivity...

Certain qualities
don't change with time.

That's what Ellis
is going to claim.

Three years ago,
you didn't back
your partner.

(SIGHS)

I bet he didn't tell you
no charges were brought
against me.

Who was your partner then?

Sergeant Bob Toliver.

Nineteenth Precinct.
I know him.

He's the kind of guy
who gets a little bit
of authority

and promptly comes on
like a deputy chief.

Go on.

I was a recruit,
still on probation.

Been riding with Toliver
for about a month.

We got a family
disturbance call,

husband and wife
really going at it.

I started talking
to the husband.

He was just about
ready to go off.

My guess,
he was pumped up on P.C.P.

You and the hype,
out there alone.

I used
every crisis intervention
technique in the book.

He was just about ready
to let me put the cuffs
on him.

What went wrong?

He came back
and did what he always did.

Took over.

His exact words,

"Move over Canelli
while I handle this."

So I did just that.

Stood by and watched
while he got creamed.

You did wrong,
no matter what
your partner said.

I was a rookie.

It was an immature decision.

But I was not a coward.

Not then, not now.

Hooker, I need you.

I really need you.

CORRIGAN: Hey, Hooker,
you called it right.

NCIC verified
the shape charge
they tried to use

on the
supermarket safe.

It ties in to an M.O.
used by one Max Proctor.

His last market job
eight years ago
went bad.

Explosion went off early
and put him in a wheelchair.

He still in it?

He only gets out
to sleep.

First floor,
west block
at San Quentin.

Maybe Jarvis
and his partners

went to yard school
with him.

Not Jarvis.

West block
is senior citizen row,

Jarvis didn't do
enough time

to get on
that side
of the prison.

Here are the convicts
Max Proctor did come
in contact with.

Well, Briggs
is in the hospital

working with
a sketch artist
this morning.

Make sure
he sees these.

What do we got
from the lab?

They're still trying to
analyze the shape charge
for possible I.D.

We may get lucky
and find out
where it came from.

Keep the pressure
on the boys with
the white suits.

Okay, you got it.

Listen. I hear
you were taking on
Canelli's defense.

You sure
you're doing
the right thing?

No.

Marty, Jerry,
what's happening?

(GUN COCKS)

Not a bad way to
work out your injury
blues, partner.

The injury's not my problem.

Something's eating at you.

Must be a lady, huh?

Yeah, a lady.

Gina Canelli.

I hear you took on
her defense.

(COCKS GUN)

Hey, Romano.
You got it.

It's dead.

Somebody I know?

Hooker, how could you...

I think you've got
your loyalties screwed up.

How do you figure?

I figure I'm your partner.

I tell you what went down
in the parking lot,

Canelli tells you her version,
and you stand up for her.

That's calling me
a liar. Ready!

Canelli's career
is on the line,

so far I've heard
two versions of
what happened.

Before I let her go down
the tubes,

there are some
important questions

that have got
to be answered.

Look, the point
is to get to the truth.

I'm just part of
that process.

Damn it, Hooker!
Two of us almost
bought it in that parking lot!

I know that,

and I care about you,
partner.

I care about that badge
and what it stands for.

(COCKS GUN)

(ARCADE MACHINE BEEPING)

They got Jarvis,
you got nothing.
I heard on the radio.

Jarvis won't talk.

Look, Frank.
I showed you how
to blow those safes.

But, I can't
hold your hand
while you're doing it.

I need enough money
to walk away from
my parole

and settle in
south of the border
with some of the young stuff.

That means I go again.

No more rip-offs needed.

Now whatever
primer cord we need,
I just walk in and buy it.

The guy's picture
is on the card.

(CHUCKLES)
Not for long.

Photographer I know
is gonna replace it
with mine.

(SNIFFLES)

CORRIGAN: Hooker!

STACY: The lab
finally came through.

They I.D.'d
the explosive.

It was part of
a shipment made

to the Gold Coast
Rock Company,
out on Fisher Road.

You get a name
of the buyer
at Gold Coast?

The foreman.
Richard Garcia.

That's great.
Appreciate the help.

Hey, what
are friends for?
Thank you.

(INAUDIBLE)

Richard Garcia?

GARCIA:
One minute, please.

HOOKER: I'm Sergeant Hooker.

Some primer
cord explosives
that you signed for

were used in a robbery.

I was afraid of that.

Tell us about it.

Couple of weeks ago,
this guy came around
looking for some work.

I had a deadline.
So I put him on without going
through all the red tape.

He was gone by
the end of the day and so was
some of the primer cord.

You didn't report it?

It still is.

What did
he look like?

Kinda small, around 40
with a, uh, limp.

That's it?

Wish it was.

He took my buyer's permit
along with the primer cord.

ROMANO: Terrific.

I hear we've got
a third suspect
to find.

Small guy
with a limp.

What's the matter with
the kid? Got something
stuck in his craw?

And he's choking on it.

Is he still grumbling
about you defending her?

Give him time
he'll come around.

Yeah, but have you
got the time?

When you're
on the street,
the last thing you need

is a partner
whose head's
not straight.

Think about it.

Hey the trial board's
tomorrow, isn't it?

Yeah.

That's a lot
of law to read
in one night.

(CHUCKLES)

Tell me about it.

(GLASS SHATTERING)

Lousy yellow coward!

Chicken in
the hen house!

(BOTH MEN CAWING)

MAN 1: Lousy yellow coward!

MAN 2: Chicken
in the hen house.

(MEN CLUCKING)

(BOTH CLUCKING)

MAN 1: Yellow belly.

Oh!

(GASPS)

(MEN LAUGHING)

Hold it there.

Hold it there!

(ENGINE STARTING)

(TIRE SCREECHES)

Hooker!

(SIGHS)

I'd like to
write off last night,
but how can I?

Those weren't punks.
They were cops.

We don't know that
for sure.

Oh, come on,
I didn't just get off
the bus from Bakersfield.

Every cop in the precinct
would like to hang

one of those
poor chickens
on my door.

Not everyone.

Sorry, Hooker.

(SIGHS)

but this trial
has me petrified.

I understand that
we drew Captain Daniels

as the senior member
for this trial board.

(CHUCKLES)

Forget it, Hooker.
Just because you used
to play racquet ball with him

isn't going
to cut any ice
in this trial.

Yeah, I guess.
He's past playing
with sergeants.

I understand this
Friday afternoon game's
with the Chief now, isn't it?

Hooker.

Let the record show that
the accused

and her defense
representative,
Sergeant T.J. Hooker,

are present,
as is the Department advocate,
Lieutenant Peter Ellis.

Officer Canelli.

The Department alleges
that on the 16th
of this month,

at or about
1300 hours,

in the vicinity
of 108th Street and Stamford,

you failed
to take appropriate action
in a field incident,

such failure
resulting in serious injury
to your partner,

Officer William Briggs,
and a lesser injury
to Officer Vincent Romano.

How do you plead?

Not guilty.

BRIGGS: And after deciding
to split up, I moved
to this position.

As I arrived,

I observed Officer Romano
running from here.

This location.

And the suspect
came from here.

With his gun raised
and pointed at Romano's back.

And what did you do?

Well, I raised my gun
to fire,

and I observed that
Officer Romano
was in my direct line.

I heard Canelli
yell a warning.

I assumed
she was in a better position
and would fire herself.

Uh, but nothing happened.

The suspect shot Romano.

And then what happened?

Well, as I reached
this point.

The, uh, suspect turned,

and he pulled one off, uh,
I was hit on the shoulder
and went down.

Did you at any time
see Officer Canelli
before you were shot?

Yes, sir, I did.

As I was running.

When I cleared
the truck right here,

I saw Officer Canelli

crouched behind
this pickup.

Do you have
any idea why
she took this position

after having
yelled a warning
to Officer Romano?

That'd just be speculation
on my part, sir.

I'd rather not say.

Yes, that is a judgment
for the board to make,
isn't it?

Your witness,
Sergeant Hooker.

You were right.

Looks like they're going
to call my old partner,
Sergeant Toliver.

His story
could bury you.

No matter how we explain
your actions, the fact is

you're charged
with the same thing

he accused you of
three years ago.

Sergeant Hooker,
do you have any questions
for the witness?

Uh, yes, sir, I do.

Uh, but before I begin,
may I approach the board.

Well, what is it,
Sergeant?

I think the board
ought to know that
I planned a thorough

cross-examination
of Officer Briggs...

It will probably take
about 45 minutes
to an hour.

What're you
trying to pull,
Hooker?

You can question
Briggs all night
as far as I'm concerned.

Well, that's very
generous of you,
Lieutenant,

but I didn't
want to interfere with
Captain Daniels' schedule.

Thank you, Sergeant.

This board is recessed
until Monday morning.
We'll reconvene at 9:00 a.m.

Well, I bought
some time.

(SIGHS) Yeah,
all we need now
is a miracle.

OFFICER: Left, left, left.
Up. Left, left, left.

Stacy followed through
on the description
you got at the quarry.

The guy who stole
the primer cord?

What if he got
his limp in the
same explosion

that took out
the con in the
wheelchair?

Mickey Doud.
Accomplice and injured
in the same explosion

that put Max Proctor
in the joint.

And Doud has a limp.

HOOKER: Where do we find him?

Now get this.
Doud's cellmate
was Frank Abbott.

The man who shot
Bill Briggs.

We should get
these out to all
ordinance outlets.

They're already
in the system.

But Photo Duplicating
is closed today
and tomorrow.

So they'll be out
first thing Monday.

Monday!
Don't remind me.

It's back
in the trial board
pressure cooker.

Talking about Monday,

I was going
through Briggs's
package last night.

He transferred in
from San Francisco
four years ago.

Did you know him up there?

I transferred in
a couple of years
before he did.

Any idea what went
into his decision?

I heard he was
in a big shootout.

Sometimes you want to put
those things behind you.

Yeah.

Vince,
I wish none of this
had happened.

I know how you feel
about Gina.

That's right,
but I care
about you, too.

And the scuttlebutt says
you may be putting in
for another partner.

Well, I was
about as close
as you can get.

Now...

I don't know.

Spot the safe?

Yeah.

It's a drop job.
Check stand five.

See that clock
on the back wall?

Manager's office
is above it.

He's got a view
of the whole store.

See those mirrors?

You can see all the aisles.

When we take this place,
I want you to keep
your eyes glued to it.

I don't want any surprises,
in case some jerk
wants to play hero.

Gotcha.

When do we do our thing?

Sunday.

The safe should be fat
with weekend receipts.

HOOKER: 953.

That's the truck
the company dispatcher

said was
at the scene
of the robbery.

Bingo!

And the slug's still in here.
There was a third
bullet fired.

Canelli was right.
And Ellis didn't bother
to look for it.

All right.
It's a third bullet,

but all that tells me
is that Abbott was
a lousy shot.

It could tell us more.

Let's get the lab guys
down here.

Hooker, your bulletin
on the stolen explosives
permit paid off.

We just verified
a full case
of primer cord

purchased this morning
at the Triple X Supply
on Alameda.

The salesman made the buyer
as Mickey Doud
he man with the limp.

We'll need
a location on him.

We have a possible.

Prison logs show Doud
completing a course
in electronics.

City records show
a video game parlor license
issued to someone

of the same name
at 1016 Central.

And the lab report indicates
the bomb used to blow
the safe was rigged

with components
used in video games.

Sounds like
we're smoking.

Get all of that
to the D.A.'s office.
Pick up a search warrant.

We'll meet you
at the location.

Hooker.

About tomorrow.

When I get up there
on the witness stand,

I'm going
to tell it like I saw it.

You do that.
That's all anyone
can ask.

But, if I have to
cross-examine you,
I'm not pulling any punches.

That dog is good.

Why don't you
make it easy
on yourself.

I'm telling you,
Officer, you're
wasting your time.

(BARKS)

Give me the key.

Give me the key.

He bought this primer
cord this morning.

And some of it
is missing.

Now, if it goes boom,
and people get killed,

you're riding
a murder beef

because of that crazy
you're teamed with.

What crazy?
I don't know who
you're talking about.

You know who
I'm talking about.

Frank Abbott.

Come on.

Book him.

That Camaro.
It's gotta be Abbott.

(SIRENS WAILING)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(HORN HONKING)

Out of the car,
let's see your hands.

Nice and slow.

Hands behind your head.

Put your hands
behind your neck.

(GASPS)

Uh, the department calls
Sergeant Robert Toliver.

Objection,
Mr. Chairman.

I believe Lieutenant
Ellis intends to use
Sergeant Toliver's testimony

to establish a trend
relating to some
on-duty activity

in Officer
Canelli's past.

ELLIS: That's correct,
Mr. Chairman.

Uh, sir...

In section xix,

of paragraph two in
the Board of Rights Manual.

"The board may not examine
anything relating to a trend
of character or behavior

"until after a finding
of guilty,

"and then only
for the purpose of
determining penalty."

Objection sustained.

(SIGHS)

When did you
come up with that?

Three o'clock
this morning.

To sum up then,

Officer Canelli was
standing to your right,

just before you
moved out to face
the suspect?

Yes, sir.

And you were depending on
her to, uh, back you up?

Yes, sir.

But when the suspect
opened fire,

she failed
to protect you.

That's correct, sir.

Your witness.

Um, Officer Romano,

you testified that you saw
Officer Canelli standing
to your right

just prior to
the shooting.

That's correct.

Did you actually turn
and see her?

No, I saw her out of
the side of my eye.

Ah, your peripheral vision.

Let's discuss
your peripheral vision.

HOOKER:
What did you exactly see
in your peripheral vision?

Officer Canelli.

Are you positive?

Think very carefully,
'cause it's important.

Did you see
Officer Canelli,

or did you see
a blue uniform?

I saw a blue uniform.

But, when
the shooting stopped,
I turned, looked

Officer Canelli was
standing right there.

But, before the
shots were fired,

all you can swear to is that
you saw a blue uniform,

which could have
been Officer Canelli,

or it could've been
Officer Briggs.

I guess so.

Yes.

I guess I assumed
it was Canelli.

No further questions.

You're excused,
Officer Romano.

Call your
next witness,
Lieutenant.

Uh, the Department
rests, Mr. Chairman.

Sergeant Hooker,
you may now call witnesses
for the defense.

Uh, yes, sir.
I wish to call

uh, Mr. Hong,
the department
criminologist.

HONG: The bullet entered
the truck at a 30 degree
angle here.

That would
place the suspect

somewhere along this line,
coming from the truck.

Yet that trajectory
is well above the location

where Officer Briggs
says he was hit.

That appears to be the case.

On the other hand
if Briggs was here

and not here
where he says he was,

would that be more consistent
with your trajectory analysis?

Yes, it would be.

This is the weapon I recovered
from the shooting suspect,
Abbott.

Did you have a chance
to examine it?

Yes. It's a
44 Magnum revolver.

And the slug
removed from
Officer Briggs?

Fired from that gun.

And the bullet
that was recovered
from the truck

was that also
a 44 Magnum?

Yes, it was.

No further questions.

I believe that
we've shown that
two bullets were fired

in rapid succession
at Officer Briggs

and that their trajectory
places Briggs

not Canelli in
Officer Romano's
peripheral vision position

behind the truck.

Your witness.

Mr. Hong, is it possible
that one of the bullets
may have hit the truck,

as you said,

and the other Officer Briggs
in the position he claimed
he was in?

The shooter would have
to substantially
redirect his aim.

No. Answer the question.
Is it possible?

It is possible.

Thank you.

I have no further
questions.

The shrink?
Is he here yet?

but he's here only
because of the subpoena.

He's refusing to testify,
and he's got the law
to back him up.

HOOKER: I have here
Officer Briggs' personnel
jacket

from his prior service
with the San Francisco
Police Department.

Have you
ever been involved
in a shooting before?

Objection.

Overruled.

Answer the question,
Officer Briggs.

Um...

Once.
(CLEARS THROAT)

When I was on the job
in, uh, in San Francisco.

Was it a hit
or no hit incident?

HOOKER: What's that?
I didn't hear you.

HOOKER: Please speak up
so that we can hear you.

Uh, hit.

It was a hit.

Who was hit?

I'll repeat it.

Who was hit?

Uh, Danny.

Danny?

Who's Danny?

Danny, uh...

My partner, Danny.

Danny was hit.
What did you do?

(VOICE BREAKING) I tried...

Oh, God, I tried.

But I couldn't stop him.

He killed Danny.

You exposed yourself
to save your partner.

But, I couldn't save him.

Just like you thought
you couldn't save Romano,
so you didn't.

You were the one hiding
behind the truck with the gun
in your hand, weren't you?

And it all came
back to you.

And when it was over,

you remembered the story
about Sergeant Toliver
and Canelli,

and you had a readymade
scapegoat to explain
away your inability to act.

(WHIMPERING)

(STUTTERING) I tried.

I just couldn't
pull the trigger.

I just couldn't.
I couldn't.

(SOBBING)

HOOKER: Mr. Chairman...

Officer Briggs' psychiatrist
is here.

And I believe Officer Briggs
could use his help now.

(SIGHS)

This is my celebration.
I'm buying
the next round.

I'll give you
a hand.

When she thanked you,
Gina was afraid she'd
get too emotional.

That's all right,
I got her message.

Well, Hooker,

I think it's about time
you got mine.

Look,

if you hadn't dug in
and gone after
the truth,

everyone
would have had
to pay the price.

Right.

The Department
would have lost
a good cop in Gina

and Briggs
would've stayed
on the job

without getting
the help he needs.

And I wouldn't have
gotten my perspective
straightened out.

We learn as we go.

What are we
drinking to?

He's decided to buy
the next round.
