(bell dings)

-Hi, Andy. -How you doing? What'd you decide?

First, we got to set some ground rules.

(chuckles) You got the wrong idea, Harry.

You don't want to say it like a little prince,

and you will do this and you won't do that.

You wanna listen to what these people need

and hope you can do it for them.

What do they need?

That's some, uh, evidence that they want cleared

some dope.

-What? They want me to steal it? -No, you just take the tag off.

Put it on some quinine or something.

Make it look like they busted cut.

I don't know, Andy.

You don't know?

(chuckles)

I can sell what you owe me to the shylocks for 40 cents on the dollar.

Now you're paying three points a week,

and when you miss, you get your butt kicked.

I got to decide. I'm not sure.

Today. Otherwise, it's going to the lab.

Mr. Big Shot.

Mr. Gambler.

Mr. Policeman.

Today, the victims' aid program will run out of city court.

That means that when filing an incident report

in which no arrest has been made,

you no longer fill out the magenta 11's.

The victim applies for aid himself.

But when you do make a bust, however,

instead of turning them in at precinct,

you now attach the magenta 11's directly to the arrest report

when filing at arraignment.

We got that? Officer Renko?

Um, yes, sir.

So you're gonna file your magenta 11's where?

Uh, under those circumstances,

the magenta 11 would be a victim orientated...

(laughter)

JABLONSKI: That's right, but where's it gonna go?

(coughs) The city court.

City court.

Thank you, the both of you.

Item nine.

Captain Furillo's at the breakfast for retiring Captain Eastland

and Captain-designate Ray Calletano.

Lieutenant Calletano's replacement

begins his tour tomorrow.

He's on orientation transfer until then.

His name is Lieutenant Norman Buntz.

He's from the Heights.

Lieutenant Buntz is back-left of the room.

(applause)

Early welcome to the Hill, Lieutenant.

Tomorrow, we'll break out the band.

Oh, incidentally, celebration for Lieutenant Calletano begins

at 7:15 P.M. prompt at the Lapa Loma Room, Kubiak Lodge.

(man translating to Spanish)

Yeah, ten. Ten, operations.

Belker, Larue, Washington, Garibaldi

coordinate with Inspector Froebel from the Hack Bureau.

They're gonna be documenting harassment

of the local gypsy cabs been serving the Hill for years.

They're being harassed by fleet

and medallion vehicles who suddenly find out

they've been missing out on a lot of good business up here.

If they were fleet enough, we'd never catch them.

Yeah, right.

Also, Lieutenant Goldblume continues his special assignment

with the state lottery office.

Okay, that's it.

-(indistinct chattering) Let's have a safe shift. Let's...

Let's go do our jobs.

-Hi. -Duane Froebel, fellas.

-Yeah, yeah, J.D. Larue. -Neal Washington.

You and me, we worked together on some cab heists

five, six years ago.

-Hey, Mick. Mick Belker-- -Duane Froebel. Hack Bureau.

How are you?

Right. I think I remember you.

-There's an embarrassing situation. -What?

Man's got egg on his face.

(laughs)

-Have you seen Lieutenant Hunter? -(Washington, indistinct)

Hey, where's Harry at?

You mean "sorry, guys" Garibaldi?

Last couple months,

Harry's been late more often than Peaches Labanks.

(Washington laughs)

-Hey! Gee. Earth calling lady, huh? -Oh, I'm terribly sorry!

They just broke into my car.

-I'm all nerves! -(sighs)

Oh, I made you spill all over your suit.

Please, let me pay for dry cleaning.

They get $1.75 where I go, without the pants.

-BALLANTINE: Are you all right, sir? -Gravity boots, Ballantine.

I have decided henceforth to start my mornings

with an infusion of blood into the old cranium.

Is that really comfortable, sir?

It's invigorating!

Lubricates the synaptic connections.

-Meet you upstairs then, sir. -Meet you upstairs, Ballantine.

Unless you want me to stay.

You mean as a spotter? That's utterly unnecessary.

Okay, then.

(chuckles) The only possible mishap would be a pipe giving way.

(creaking)

WOMAN (on radio): Dispatch. We have a 9-11.

-Armed robbery in progress. -(sirens whooping)

See Surplus Store, corner of People's Drive and 124th Street.

(theme music playing)

DANIELS: Keenan findings are gonna issue this morning, Frank.

Know what this jerk grand jury's got after four months?

Know what they're gonna announce?

Nothing.

Penny anti-corruption charges

on the six cops we already knew.

Not that any corruption is insignificant.

No indictments in Keenan's killing.

Which, let's face it, Frank.

That's the same as if I had been named.

Listen, I want you to head a commission of inquiry

into Keenan's death and everything else, into the whole damn department.

-We've got to put this thing behind us. -With what kind of authority?

I hadn't thought through all the nuts and bolts just yet.

To have any teeth, this kind of panel has to have subpoena power.

Frank, more gratitude, fewer conditions.

I'd also want a free hand in selecting other members of the panel,

and I want a public pledge of your cooperation.

You believe the stories?

You think there are four pads and a bagman at every precinct?

I think that department morale has never been lower.

Every man is looking back over his shoulder,

wondering whom to trust.

I also think that if we don't clean house, somebody's gonna do it for us.

What about Keenan?

-You think I killed Joe Keenan? -I don't know.

Why, you self-righteous--

I go into this with a clean slate, Chief.

I won't front a public-relations exercise.

You got whatever you need.

I accept.

You come and get me, Furillo.

You get some evidence I'm involved, you come after me!

If there's evidence, I won't be asking permission.

-Frank, Chief. -FURILLO: Ray.

Ray. Great day, long overdue.

(applause)

Over the past six weeks, since the news

that I would be captain of the Polk Avenue Precinct,

I have spent what spare time I could

getting to know the officers at my new precinct.

I told Captain Eastland I want to hear what some of his men have said about him.

"He always stood up for us with downtown."

"He's made our jobs easier because he does his so well."

"I worked under five captains, and he's the best, hands down."

I'm honored to introduce

the man whose position I'm taking,

but who I know I cannot replace.

Art Eastland.

(applause)

Thanks, Ray.

Chief, brother officers...

So, why quit five years before mandatory?

I know the rumors.

He's, uh, he's sick.

-He has a babe in Florida. -(laughter)

I wish.

Truth is, I'm tired of it.

I'm tired with what we've all been reading in the newspapers

and maybe just a little bit tired of wondering if any of it's true.

But since I announced,

I've been reminded of the other side of the coin.

What I've felt for my men

and especially now, with what I'm hearing so gracious

from Ray Calletano.

I listen to Ray, and I, honest to God,

wonder if I made a mistake.

Maybe I better take a little more time

to think this retirement thing over.

Leave this...

I don't know if I want to go.

GARIBALDI: I'm gonna take ten minutes, guys.

Hey, where the hell you going, Harry?

I got to pick up a prescription.

Hey, Garibaldi, you picking up that prescription

to win or across the board?

GARIBALDI: Ha ha, J.D.

Ha ha ha, my butt.

Hey, Harry.

Yeah?

Hey, look, I want you to put four bucks for me

on the letter "J" to win in the second race.

-That's the letter "J." -If I go by an OTB.

Yeah, on your way to the pharmacy.

Kid's getting in trouble, Neal. I see all the signs.

Mm-hmm. Sounded to me like you just put down a bet your own self, babe.

That's entirely different.

It's four bucks, and it's on a horse that I happen to have been following.

BELKER: Hey!

Excuse me. You just cut in front of me.

-You did, right here. You took my spot. -Go write your congressman.

MAN: Need a cab, Mack? Mack, cab?

Hey, you need a cab?

We don't usually get the company cabs up here.

-You're gonna start getting them now. -Hey, you can't take a fare, man.

-Hey! -Hey, whoa, man.

Call me if you grow, dwarf. I'll come back and kick your butt.

-J7J-409. -Can we bust him?

Let's hold off.

He just drove into my car.

Plus verbal abuse, calling you a dwarf.

I want heavy harassment, though, before we make our move.

(growls)

Dog's life, eh, Detective? (laughs)

(siren wailing)

Pull over, stupid.

It's not even coming up hot.

You believe this jerk?

It's registered Leona Cleveland.

You're kidding me. Are you serious?

That's Ozzie's wife. That's the mayor's wife.

She probably doesn't know it's stolen yet.

We're gonna do ourselves some good on this one, Luce.

Alright, freeze, buddy! Freeze!

Alright, just take it easy.

Oh god, kill me.

Nobody's gonna kill you now.

You feel like anything's broken?

-Hey. -No.

Alright, now just get up real easy.

Put your hands behind your back.

You alright?

Yeah.

Alright, just take it easy.

Joe?

He's Lee Cleveland.

What?

He's Lee Cleveland.

-Does the picture match? -Yeah.

Hey, Lee, you related to Leona Cleveland?

It's my mother.

Your father's the mayor, right?

Yeah.

It's your bust, Sarge.

You almost give me a heart attack jumping in front of our unit like that.

I wouldn't be doing that again if I were you.

-I'm sorry. -In the back, this one?

-Yeah. -Yeah.

-Yep. -Him.

Alright, just step over here.

This man said you took something from his store across the street there.

-Ain't you guys got nothing better to do? -You just be quiet till my partner…

-Why you rob from me? -How come you rob from the neighborhood?

I never rob. What's wrong with you?

-Man, you rob with your prices. -What he steal?

Fruit.

Fruit?

They take all the time. You make bust.

Listen, sir, if we do that,

you got to come down to the court, and--

I come. No more.

Yeah, sure. You got 50 relatives working that rat hole.

You shut up.

Hey, what you want, man, huh? What you want? A lousy quarter?

-Wait a minute. Mr., uh, Mr. what? -Pak.

Mr. Pak, you want this boy here to make restitution right now?

No, you make bust.

I only store on block.

No one else have store, so they rob me.

We're gonna have to arrest you. Are you charging anyone else?

They take other times.

No, I mean now. All right, let's go.

-Yo, Jody, tell my grandma where I'm at. -Yeah, man.

Here. Fruit he stole.

Looky here, Bobby. Got evidence.

He stole!

Yeah, I know he stole. We make bust.

Ray, Art Eastland was reacting to the emotion of the moment.

Why did I have to say all those nice things about him?

You weren't going to assume command until Monday anyway,

and he's going to decide by the end of the day, so try to take it easy.

Captain, mayor's son's been busted.

-I heard. -Cleveland's office has been notified.

Captain Furillo? Norman Buntz.

How are you? Ray Calletano.

How you doing?

Guess I'm taking your oar in the boat, huh?

You going up on the bridge?

Yes. Excuse me.

Sure.

(sighs) So?

So, you start with us tomorrow?

Yeah, I figured I'd come in and find out where the john is.

I don't know if you've heard,

but there's a glitch with Ray's promotion.

Captain Eastland is reconsidering his retirement.

I'm sure it'll all get resolved, but on the outside chance that Ray stays,

he'll be your senior in command.

Uh-huh. Well, I hope it resolves.

Uh, what do you like to be called?

At the Heights, they called me Guido.

I'm German, see, but I look like such a guinea.

Or, uh, Norm's good. How about yourself? Frank?

-Fine. -Just in here.

I'll give you your rank in front of the men.

I look forward to working with you, Norm.

Same here, Frank.

Get with Jablonski. He'll show you the ropes.

Yeah. Is there anything we can do

to nudge Eastland along?

I mean, uh, you know, slash his tires?

No, seriously. Got anything on him?

No.

Trenton, I'm afraid we're gonna have to book you.

I'll lose my parole.

We'll get you to an afternoon arraignment.

Wait and see how it works out.

I'm gonna go find a khaki officer.

Trenton, what's with all the blue beret stuff, man?

Well, it's project security, you know, escort for the elderly.

How many old folks can afford to pay for getting walked to the bus, man?

Hey, we don't charge! Look, there's no charge.

You think these people don't need safety, man?

You think the police are gonna protect them?

I think that you came out of Correctional wanting to get your life together.

I saw through to a lot of things up there.

Whatever the good you wanna do, man,

you got to get your own thing together first.

Look, that Korean's the only store on 116th street.

You chase him away, and that ain't gonna do

your old people no good.

Sorry, Bobby, things are up for grabs today.

-Trenton Moore? -Yeah.

-Miss Davenport, Lee Cleveland. -Thanks, Sergeant.

This way, Trenton.

Sergeant Jablonski?

Debbie Craig, personnel sent me.

Will a private attorney be taking over your case, Lee?

No.

These are all your priors?

Mm-hmm.

Depending on your case report, I think we stand a good chance

at alternative sentencing.

Would you be willing to enroll in a detox program?

Lee?

I guess, or die in one.

Is that why you drove into the side of the bridge?

I don't care if I live.

I lied so many times.

And turn out to be lying when I say I was gonna quit.

But I was coming home to quit.

(crying) Instead I got high and went to steal her car.

I can't believe myself no more!

Do you want to stop?

I say so, but I don't know if I mean it.

Maybe this time you do.

Mr. Mayor, what do you plan to do about your son?

Sergeant.

Mr. Mayor. Excuse me.

Back here, fellas, until you have a pass.

Relax, guys...

I'm here to file a stolen car complaint against Lee Cleveland.

Yes, sir.

You think with this Eastland thing up in the air

that it's bad taste to go ahead

-with Ray Calletano's gala tonight? -I wouldn't think so, Howard.

Our deposit at The Kubiak is refundable

if we cancel by 4:00.

No, no, no. I'd go ahead with it.

Mayor, do you have a minute?

Frank.

I heard Fletcher's announcement about his new commission.

I'm delighted, especially that you're heading it.

Thank you.

How big? How many civilians?

Well, I haven't had a chance to make any firm judgments yet,

but other than somebody from the D.A.'s office,

I'm not sure there will be any.

You need civilians for credibility, Frank.

It's past the point that the public will trust this department

to clean its own house.

I'll take that into consideration.

I appreciate your handling this.

You want to see him, Ozzie?

Why? So he can lie to me again?

So he can break our hearts again?

I have a statement to read.

Same horse.

Come here.

Come on!

What?

You know what's going on inside?

I heard rumors.

Listen, I want to bet a horse. I can't go in there myself.

-Problem with the management? -Yeah.

Now, listen, I'll give you a sawbuck, you take the bet in there for me.

Sidney's errand service, at your disposal.

$200 win, $200 place on Heavenly "J."

4-bagger, huh?

We talking fixola here,

we talking chemical encouragement?

Come on, I'm in a hurry.

I'll go shopping for you afterwards, get you anything you want.

(siren wails)

What do you say, Harry?

-Oh. Hey, Andy. -What's going on?

Did you come over to tell me what you decided?

Yeah, I wanted to tell you that I'm thinking about it.

You came over here to tell me that you're thinking about it?

Yeah.

Because you know you got to fix that evidence by this afternoon

or doors close on a lot of different people.

I know.

Anything else you want to tell me?

No, I don't think so.

Bring out Mr. Wonderful!

Oh, man.

-You know what's happening to you, Harry? -Come on. What is going on here?

You're beginning to run away from reality.

-I try to lay a bet, I get thrown around-- -I mean, otherwise, you'd never think

that we'd let this street slug,

guy hasn't made a $20 bet in 2 weeks,

come in with a $400 play,

and we're not gonna find out who he's bearding for?

Hey, I've been looking for my spot.

I want to take one last shot, Andy.

You don't have any more shots, pal.

Your quota's up.

Excuse me.

If you're not gonna allow me to make a bet,

will you please return my currency?

I'll take my trade elsewhere.

Now are you going to do this thing for us?

-Hey, what am I, in a bubble here? -Alright, alright.

I'll try to do it end of shift.

Okay.

Less $300 you owe me.

Here's $100 for you to walk around.

Let me bet it on that horse.

-You don't want to crash yet, kid? -Let me bet it.

Come on inside.

Damn Korean shot a man.

HILL: Alright, everybody just step back.

Mr. Pak, let me have the gun.

He rob inside.

My mother...

cleaning fruit there...

tried to stop him.

He come knife for my mother.

I shoot.

You got a permit for this gun?

No permit yet. I apply.

Mr. Pak, listen to me. You're gonna have to come down.

You understand that? Down to the station.

How is she?

We're gonna take her into the hospital.

Understand? Think she's got a concussion.

(speaking Korean)

He beat my nephew.

I don't shoot till he come knife for my mother.

-More police will be coming, Mr. Pak. -Many witness, many.

Tell your nephew not to open the store back up.

(speaking Korean)

Let's go. Come on.

Hey, Pak, like how it feels now?

That's one man you're not gonna cheat anymore.

(clamoring)

Alright! Alright! Knock it off right now!

I mean it!

Knock it off right now. Have some respect.

-You're down, J.D., second race. -Gracias.

Horse has zero chance.

Coffee and a burger, Dottie.

Hey, who's Dr. Garibaldi's selection?

Heavenly "J" by daylight.

LARUE: Letter "A."

Letter "A," right. Why? Did you look at him?

You gave me your ticket.

Is that right?

$50 win and place, Harry. Pretty hefty bet.

Well, I told you, the horse can't lose.

No kidding!

Why don't you come over to my crib later on alright,

and I'll show you my "Dewey for president" card collection?

Hi, Mick.

Hi! What are you doing here?

Thought I'd look up my B.F.

Your B.F. is glad.

-Sit over here? -Yeah.

-Did you have lunch? -No.

-Are you hungry? -Yes.

What would you like?

How about some peaches?

You want my peaches?

(laughing) Yeah.

Oh, I made an appointment with Dr. Hirsh tomorrow.

Why? What's wrong?

Nothing.

I'm late.

What does that mean? Does that mean you think you're pregnant?

(laughs) It's possible.

You're laughing.

(laughs)

Don't go bing-bong on me, Mick.

I'm not sure. I'm a little late. I want to find out.

What are we gonna do?

Nothing.

Norman Buntz?

Yeah, right.

And does the next batter swing away?

(chuckles)

He's a regular Milton Berle, huh?

Frank.

-Leona. -Frank.

I want those charges dropped.

I own that car,

and I don't want my son charged with car-stealing.

Well, this says that you have joint ownership--

Never mind that!

Lee says he can get into a detox program

if the car-stealing charges are dropped. I want them dropped.

You and Ozzie are gonna have to make that decision together, Leona.

Ozzie won't forgive him! He's hardened his heart.

He wants to punish Lee.

No, Frank. No, you talk to him.

-I don't think that-- -Ozzie respects you!

I don't think that's my place.

It is your place!

Please! I talked to my son on the phone.

-Alright. Alright. -Please.

I just want you to give him another chance.

Okay. It's alright. I'll try. I'll talk to him. I'll try.

-Just give him another chance. -(knock on door)

(Leona sobs)

Mrs. Cleveland? I'm Joyce Davenport.

I'll be representing your son through arraignment.

They want to crucify my son. My husband--

I'm gonna go talk to the mayor right now.

-Sorry. -Just one moment.

Uh, Frank?

Frank?

Judgment call, but I'd like to see this kid get a chance.

See if you can push him down your calendar.

If I can move Ozzie at all, I'll be in court.

Alright.

Never mind who it is, Captain Eastland. I just want to put on record.

We're all hearing it's some kind of popular tidal wave,

and nobody wants you to retire.

Well, I'm one of a whole lot of guys figured you for over the Hill,

but we're all biting our tongue, you see,

because you were having the decency of stepping down.

Yeah. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Forget all that stuff in the speech, huh?

I'm one of the guys the lieutenant was talking to.

Then afterwards, we're all laughing up our sleeves.

We couldn't believe anybody bought that crapola.

So, uh, come on, what do you say, Captain, huh?

You had a wonderful, distinguished career.

Now why don't you wake up and smell the freaking coffee?

And that's with affection as well as concern.

Hey, Lieutenant!

How about dropping a dime?

What do you mean?

Tell Eastland he's old meat.

Call and tell him he's finished.

I apologize for the intrusion, Ozzie.

What is it?

-Leona's asked me-- -Just stop right there.

She says it's unclear that the car was stolen.

The car was stolen.

Money was stolen.

So was my watch,

so was the pen my father gave me when I graduated high school.

But if he has a real desire now to kick--

I'm not asking for special favors

so my son can wind up high in some shooting gallery.

The idea was that he'd sign himself into detox.

From which he could also sign himself out!

And rob somebody or worse so he could fix.

Now if he really has a desire to stop,

let him stop in jail.

For god sakes, Frank, do you think this is easy?

I'm sorry.

(door opens)

-Call my wife, please. -(door closes)

Bail application for defendant Pak, Miss Davenport.

DAVENPORT: Free cognizance, your honor.

The police reports are persuasive as to self-defense.

People are charging only unlicensed firearm.

No objection.

You're released on recognizance, Mr. Pak.

Your attorney will tell you when to appear.

(bangs gavel)

Nice shot.

BAILIFF: Docket J93-194, Trenton Moore, petty larceny.

JUDGE: Grocer in the previous case is the complainant?

Yes.

Mr. Pak has had a busy day.

Your Honor, this arrest was for the theft of a pear.

My client offered restitution.

Arresting officers present?

Here, Your Honor.

I did hear the defendant offer to pay, sir.

In my opinion, Your Honor,

this is not a case where parole should be violated.

You got an open parole, Mr. Moore.

I was at Witcom Correctional.

I'm gonna follow the recommendation of the officers here.

Do not notify parole board.

I'm dismissing, Mr. Moore,

but know you do not want to make a return appearance before me

-for a piece of fruit or anything else. -Alright.

JUDGE: Adjourned, in contemplation of dismissal.

(gavel bangs)

BAILIFF: J9-320, Lee Cleveland,

narcotics paraphernalia, felony theft, reckless operation.

On for bail.

Mr. Cleveland asks permission to enroll

in Springwood Detoxification Program.

The people ask $20,000, Your Honor.

Your Honor, uh, I'd like to say, uh,

I know I have problems.

(gasps) Uh... But, uh...

I've been to my uncle's in Rockford, trying to kick.

But, uh, I really want to kick.

Uh, but I made a mistake.

And I would ask, um,

if I would be allowed to kick,

because if I could do detox,

then, uh, I'd like to try.

But if I could be brought down on medication,

I think I...

(groans) Ugh!

Uh...

JUDGE: Alright.

-Ah... -(gavel bangs)

-I apologize. I apologize. -Alright. Alright.

$20,000 bond.

Now, Mr. Cleveland, if that auto-theft charge is dropped,

court would consider a detox enrollment.

I think some apologies and explanations to family

might be in order, sir.

Well, where they at?

(moans) My mother said she was gonna try to be here!

(bangs gavel) Call the next case.

Wait a minute! I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I can't kick like that!

Please, wait a minute! Wait a minute.

Sounds cold to me.

You figure Ozzie ought to give the kid a medal or what?

Please.

What I am supposed to do?

About what, Mr. Pak?

All hate now.

Isn't that pretty much

how you felt about all of them, Mr. Pak?

I was only angry at who steal.

I don't hate you people.

Well, sir, if that's the case,

then why don't you try hiring one of them boys

-out of the neighborhood or something? -Family work in store.

Mr. Pak, don't you see how that would show people

that you felt you were part of the community down there?

I think Mr. Pak can make up his mind on this thing, can't you, sir?

It's a good investment, Mr. Pak.

(bell dings)

You better check out your own personal cars,

because Medallion's messed with some of them, man.

What? They mess with my car, they're gonna be messing with my tire iron.

-What they do? -They sugared half the tanks.

SOB's put glue in my ignition.

This is enough. Now we got enough to move.

Let me see if your car starts, Detective.

We might be walking home.

Hi! No, I'm fine.

No, I just wanted to ask you something.

I've seen these things advertised

where you could, you know, um...

You could find that out at home

what you'll be asking Dr. Hirsh tomorrow.

Hey, you guys better check your car.

You did? You already bought it?

So will we take it tonight?

Really? Oh, I'm very excited.

I love you.

I'll see you tonight. Bye.

Dispatch said give some gypsies noise.

So I bumped the little guy, that's all.

I don't blow someone up. I don't care who tells me.

Yeah, got a mind of your own, right, babe?

-Maybe central did it. -You okay?

Yup.

Captain Eastland just called.

He decided not to change his plans.

He's going to stay retired!

-Well, congratulations, Captain Calletano. -Congratulations, Captain.

Thank you, Joe.

Thank you. Excuse me, I have to call my wife.

Thank you.

MAN: Congratulations, Captain.

Shouldn't Detective Mayo sign in, too?

Ah, Detective Mayo transferred to midtown, Miss Craig.

Could you initial here, please, that you went in by yourself?

Okay.

Thank you.

We a team?

I'm supposed to stay here.

(chuckles) You know something?

Now I'm getting a little frosted.

See, I got to inventory this stuff for testimony.

I don't feel like having you giving me the greasy eyeball while I do it.

Look, I'm new. They said go by the regs.

Yeah. Well, this is the real world, kid.

And the regs out here are

you give some slack when somebody asks you.

Return the envelope to me.

Okay.

(exhales)

I didn't feel like doing it. Maybe I'll do it another time.

Could you wait while I check it against--

It's all there. It all checks out.

Garibaldi.

You better hock your crystal ball.

-What's up? -My horse won. Paid 28 bucks.

Congratulations.

How deep are you in, Harry?

They got you stuck pretty good.

Who says I'm stuck at all?

I don't figure a guy bets half his take-home to get ahead.

I figure he's looking to get even.

Uh, I'm stuck pretty bad.

Don't even know how it happened.

Okay.

I've been around this block.

Whatever got you into it,

what you're doing is chasing good money after bad.

Listen, J.D., if you been here,

then you know this whole conversation's a waste of time.

WASHINGTON: Hey, ready, lover?

You don't have to touch bottom, man.

Hey, yo, Harry, want to ride over to Kubiak with us?

No, thanks. I got to meet someone.

Maybe I'll see you over there.

-I understand it was your Chevy, Mick. -Yep.

I understand that Froebel fellow just got blowed to bits.

Correct.

It's got to be top five. What do you think?

-Which? -Worst ways to croak.

Blown into 80 different pieces like that.

That ain't the worst way. This way's quick.

It's efficient. You're gone.

-You ain't got time-- -Do not start!

-Sorry. -Sorry.

-Well sir. You, yes sir. -Mmm.

Oh, please don't croak on me, Mick.

Thanks, Irwin.

I'm calling about the commission.

If you're at all interested,

I'd love to see you first thing in the morning.

Well, your mother was right, Irwin.

Can't hurt to listen.

Good. See you tomorrow.

Irwin Bernstein for Committee Council.

What do you think?

I think he'll be terrific.

Let's back up a couple of steps, Furillo.

Congratulations on the nifty offer.

Thank you.

You seem to be taking it.

I think I should.

I'm proud of you, Frank.

Isn't this how Kennedy got started?

Kefauver?

Joe McCarthy.

Sure you don't want me to come with you to The Kubiak?

You hate The Kubiak.

I like Ray, at least.

Ozzie.

Mayor.

I'll meet you at the car.

Now it's done.

Now I want you to prepare for the consequences.

I don't know what you mean.

My wife bailed him out.

She made our son's bail on the felony.

Did he check into detox?

He's gonna get clean in Rockford.

She took him to the bus!

Now I want you to give your people a description.

-Why? -He will get off at the Decker terminal.

He's gonna do whatever he has to do to get high.

Ozzie, I think I know what you're feeling.

You don't know what I'm feeling.

You don't know the shame,

the sick fear you may be responsible for hurting innocent people.

I can't have him picked up, Ozzie.

Not without a new crime.

Alright, alright.

I know the streets.

I'll find him.

Ozzie!

(indistinct chattering)

-Ladies and gentlemen... -(feedback)

RENKO: Talk! Just talk! Don't talk into it!

Why do we keep coming back to this joint?

(laughter)

Uh... (whistles)

Can I have your attention? Ray, come up here for a moment?

(cheering, clapping)

Thanks, Henry. Uh... Ray... (coughs)

I would like to read what is inscribed on this loving cup.

"To Ray Calletano--

worthy in service, loyal in friendship.

Given in gratitude, affection, and respect

by his comrades at the Hill Street Station,

26 September.

We're gonna miss you, amigo.

-MAN: Yeah! -Hey, alright.

Cheers!

-Excuse me. -(clears throat)

-Oh! -I'm sorry. (chuckles)

Excuse me! I'm sorry.

(sighs) Good evening.

(laughing) Good evening.

Seems to be a celebration in progress.

You're exactly correct.

A colleague of mine has been promoted.

Oh, how delightful.

Yes.

Well...

What?

(laughs nervously)

Sad, isn't it?

What is?

When you want to, uh, grasp a moment

and you don't know how.

(chuckles)

How would you do that?

(laughs)

Just, grasp it.

MAN: Come on! Shoot the ball. Come on! Shoot it!

Hey, man, now come on!

Put it up! Put it up!

You guys are weak. Weak!

Weak, weak!

Say, Trenton.

Hey, thanks for talking for me in court this afternoon.

Just called it the way I saw it.

Want to hear something crazy?

Korean put up a "help wanted" sign.

You're kidding.

You gonna apply?

He said I could.

Passed by, he asked if I was gonna.

The thing is, um...

What?

Look, I can't add too good, okay?

Um, why don't I front you for a calculator?

-Just bring some prices-- -That's not why I told you.

Look, I wasn't looking for charity, okay?

Charity's when you don't expect to be paid back.

I'll bring in the prices tomorrow.

Okay. Catch you later.

(indistinct chattering)

See you, man.

(siren wails in distance)

(melodramatic music playing)

(laughs)

I wish my mother had lived.

(suspenseful music playing)

Tell me.

I couldn't do it.

Look, you want to sell my note to the juice guys, fine.

You go ahead.

See, but you're, you're making a big mistake, Andy.

Because I'm paying every penny.

-You got that right. -(groans)

(groans)

Meet your banker, Harry.

(panting) What's your problem, pal?

I don't get problems.

I get $200 every Tuesday. Keeps you even.

(panting)

-What's that mean, "It keeps you even"? -He means it keeps you even, Harry.

Your debt doesn't go up.

No, no good. I'm not paying.

Hey, Harry, you're not that stupid.

Ah, man. Tough guy!

-Big man! -Judas Priest.

Let's see what you got.

I thought you're such a big shot.

I thought you're such a tough guy.

Alright. Now you guys leave me alone?

Oh!

Damn it. Oh, Louis?

-(grunts) -ANDY: Louis!

(gasps, pants)

ANDY: What's the matter with you?

LOUIS: He's the man who's got the problem.

ANDY: You crazy?

LOUIS: You're gonna get a lot of money out of him now.

(groans)

Get in the damn car!

(groaning)

(eerie music playing)

(dramatic music playing)

Officer down.

Officer needs assistance.
