That's gonna fall apart In the face of tragedy.

Barney?

He's all right, Bernice. He's all right.

And he wanted to take The time to think it out.

Just sit down, Relax. Take it easy.

Maybe he's in a hospital.

Look, if anything had happened, We would have heard about it.

Yeah, we got the whole Precinct out looking for him.

Just walking around?

I don't know.

It just seems like He's acting kind of...

- weird, you know? - yeah.

Fish.

The way you were Talking last night.

The mood you were in.

Don't talk into My neck, bernice.

I'm sorry.

Why didn't you call?

There was no... No reason For me to call anybody.

But I was worried about you.

We were all a little Worried about you, fish.

I'm sorry I was late, barney.

I decided to walk to work today.

- from brooklyn? - yeah.

Safer than the subway.

If anything ever Happened to you...

Well, we all have work to do.

I know I do.

- hey, fish... - I know you do.

Bernice, I got a Lot of work to do.

I'll meet you back here, And we'll go home together.

Wonderful.

5:00.

I'll be looking forward to it.

Sellers: I don't care What you do to me!

They may violate the flesh,

But they'll never Destroy the human spirit!

Fish, what's the Matter with that man?

He's crazy.

That's terrible.

Don't make judgments.

Goodbye, everybody. And thank you.

Your kind will never win!

Look, would you just Empty your pockets, please?

Clone.

What'd he call me?

Clone.

What is that, light brown?

A clone is a progeny Produced without sex,

Copies of human beings Artificially created.

Who, me?

Well, I don't necessarily Agree with that.

What do we got here?

Edward sellers, captain.

He was trying to pull down Those security television cameras

At hampton's supermarket.

You can't watch all of us!

We'll beat you in the end!

You can't see into our Hearts and into our souls.

Those cameras are only meant

To protect the storeowners From shoplifters.

Ah, come on, captain... Or whatever you are.

We know why they're Up there, don't we?

To weed us out from the Ones who have been changed.

To find a pocket of resistance,

Those of us who Are still normal.

He was in a lettuce Bin when we got him.

I would not have that operation!

Operation?

They'll have to kill me first!

I'll call the twinkie-mobile.

Harris, let's watch Those euphemisms, huh?

Sure, barney.

Want me to book him, captain?

Uh, no. Just get The information.

Fill out a transfer Slip to bellevue.

Mm-hmm.

Bellevue! That's where They do the operations!

Take it easy.

That's where they do Their operations, isn't it?

Just give all that information

To detective dietrich About the cameras.

Bellevue?

This is harris over at the 12th.

We've got a customer For the enchanted kingdom.

Barney, disturbance at a Liquor store down the street.

All right. Uh... Harris, wojo.

I got it.

Well, you just came in.

Why don't you relax a while?

I am relaxed.

Wojo.

Uh, nick.

Nick: yeah.

I can't find that file I was working on...

The henneman case.

Oh, I just filed it.

You want me to Dig it out for you?

No, no, that's all right.

I probably won't get To it till monday anyway.

I'm for telling him.

Now just hold on a minute.

Are you trying to tell Me fish doesn't know

This is his last day at work?

That he doesn't know He's retiring today?

Possible.

The whole idea may be so painful

That the mind relegates It to the subconscious.

You see, harris,

The human psyche can handle

Just so much Painful information.

So it produces a type of Self-produced phobic amnesia.

You believe that?

It's possible.

Sometimes reality Is so traumatic

That the unconscious Rejects it completely

And the fantasy becomes reality.

Thank you, dietrich. Thank you.

You have some work to do?

I don't believe we've met.

Hello.

Hello.

Oh, hi.

I've been watching you.

That's not necessary.

You're really not Like the others.

That's from my father's Side of the family.

Talk to me, please.

Talk to me.

Mr. Sellers, is there Something I can do for you?

You know the difference

Between a real Person and a clone.

I don't think so.

It's the vocal cords. Clones can't talk up here.

Up here like this.

Only human people can.

Uh, mr. Sellers...

Talk to me!

Talk to me!

Keep it down, sellers, will you?

Hello.

Get in there, and Don't be a wise guy.

I'm not a wise guy. I'm just scared.

How'd it go?

It was going beautiful Until these guys showed up.

Harold sanders, barney.

Robbed the liquor Store on 14th street.

Yeah, you really should Have been there, barn.

Guy came out just As we got there,

And old fish chased him down The street and jumped on him

And introduced Him to the sidewalk.

That guy almost broke my arm!

Yeah, he was Fighting like a tiger.

Uh, wojo, book him.

No, no, no, no. I'll do it.

That old guy really Loves his work, don't he?

"Old guy"?

Get over here. I'll Give you "Old guy."

Sit down!

As long as there's Punks out there like you,

I'll be here in this Room and at that desk.

So you watch yourself!

- fish. - "Old guy."

When I'm too old to take Care of a guy like you...

Fish, uh, can I see you In my office a minute?

38 years on the force.

I've seen a million Punks like that.

And I'll see a Million more, right?

Over here.

That guy's not normal.

Hello.

Do you believe a punk like that?

What's this world coming to?

Well, just keeps changing. Changing, changing.

So it's a good thing they Have some of us around to...

Keep a balance, huh?

You've done a very good job.

You got a lot to be proud of.

Thanks.

I better get in there and Finish processing that punk.

Come on. Wojo will Take care of it. Sit down.

- but, but, but... - sit down.

Barney, barney, I-I-I...

There's a lot of other work.

Look, we can take a few minutes To talk, can't we? Come on.

Sure.

What about?

What about? I don't know.

About... You and Me, this and that.

About all the things That good friends,

Who have worked together For 18 years, talk about.

If I don't finish,

I'm gonna have to work Late on monday, barney.

There is no work on monday.

If I don't finish... There is no more work.

You are retiring today.

No, no.

No, no, no, barney, You got it all wrong.

I'm not retiring so fast.

Fish, I know it's Painful, all right?

Maybe it's even unfair.

But you've got to Face the reality.

That is the reality.

Otherwise you're gonna wind up

Like that twinkie in The cage out there.

Fish, you've earned the Right to do something else,

To do what you want to Do, what you enjoy doing.

Anyway... I walked Here from brooklyn.

I had a lot of time To think things over.

And you know the kind Of trouble this city is in.

And you know how hard it Is to get good men, barney.

The rules say you Have to retire at 63.

Rules are made by men,

And rules can be changed by men.

I know the commissioner.

We've known each Other for 20 years.

And I'm gonna have A talk with him.

I'm gonna talk to him...

And then everything Is gonna be all right.

This is not the last Day of your life, fish.

I'm a man with a record, barney.

You think they're Gonna force me out?

Not me!

A man with my experiences, My commendations?

Not me!
