Of the thrift shop.

Oh, wonderful.

That's what barney always says.

Well, he doesn't own it.

Sergeant, I made a quick Inventory while we were there.

Um, I'm afraid they made off

With over $500 worth Of hockable merchandise.

They took my motorola.

It was the first radio I fixed

As a recovering alcoholic On the work-therapy program.

It only got one station... All news in korean.

But to me, anyway, It was special.

Don't worry about it, Raymond. We'll find it.

What are we gonna do?

Um...

Hey, maybe we should Try going undercover.

Oh, yeah?

Sure.

We could, uh, put you In one of them getups.

You could circulate, move Around the various facilities,

And see what you can find out.

This is not a getup.

This is a uniform of a Salvationist, sergeant...

A religious garment, Not a halloween costume.

And regardless, I can't Sanction it being used

In the manner that You've suggested.

It's okay. It's okay.

Melinda, he just didn't know.

She was the blonde In the black dress

With a slit up the side.

I'd have to think.

She knew the Effect it had on men,

And I guess you Were no different.

Pardon me?

First a little Small talk, eh, barn?

Then a couple of Drinks at the club level.

Then back to the plaza hotel...

Or maybe you Suggested the pierre.

Less conspicuous. I agree.

Uh, listen...

Get up to the hotel Room, champagne on ice.

And then you made love,

Her flesh intermingling With yours.

And then you Paused once in a while

So that you could share A laugh at my expense.

Finally, when the sun came up,

You both went Your separate ways.

Look...

And now they have put You in the same cell with me.

Can you imagine the Odds on a thing like that?

Good morning, gentlemen.

First day it's big news.

Couple of days go by, People lose interest.

You got the sports?

No offense, ray.

Just not in the mood, huh?

Yeah, I understand.

Yeah? I wish I did.

Say something, barney?

No, no.

- sounded like something. - I didn't say anything.

Just wish somebody Would explain to me...

Why a man who's committed Over 20 years of his life

To what he knows is right

Deserves to wind up In a rathole like this.

That's a tough question.

Maybe I just got Caught in the machinery...

A victim of some Perverse higher order

That condemns me To sit here and rot

While my lawyer Tells me to be patient.

These things don't Happen overnight.

Oh, don't I know it.

First the department's got To take it under advisement

With the commissioner,

Who's out taking a Late lunch with the d.A.,

Who's wishing to God the damn judge

Would come to some Accommodation with my attorney,

Who keeps telling Me to be patient!

Barn, boy, take it easy.

I'm sorry, ray.

I didn't mean to Lay this all on you.

I'm just beginning to feel Like the longer I'm here...

The longer I'm Gonna have to stay.

It's always darkest Before the dawn.

Hope you don't mind My sneaking that one in.

Listen, I really Appreciate you coming.

So, you want me to Bring you anything?

Books, magazines?

Man: I'll take a Life magazine...

October 8, 1943.

And you're gonna see him again.

Come on.

Man: barney, where Are you going?

I suppose that makes You something special.

Hey, why don't you shut Your big, fat mouth?!

I thought we were friends.

We are.

Then why did you Destroy my marriage?

Come on. Let's go.

Good luck.

Inside, duncan.

What, no movie this time?

Why? You want to see stars?

Oh, clever.

So, uh, what do we got here?

Arthur duncan... Picked him Up over at the senior center.

He was in the Arts-and-crafts room

Trying to make off With a sewing machine

And a couple of cartons of yarn.

They weren't even sweaters yet.

Don't I know you from someplace?

Maybe. I used to Play the accordion.

Sergeant harris, if you recall,

Mr. Duncan was Previously arrested

By sergeant Wojciehowicz and myself

For assaulting the handicapped.

Oh, sure.

You were the guy who went Around mugging blind people,

People in wheelchairs, right?

Thanks for remembering.

And on the way down,

He confessed to the other Salvation army break-ins.

Why not? All I ever Got there was junk.

I gave most of it to goodwill.

Goodwill!

Levitt, book him.

Over here, duncan.

You got him?

Yeah. Uh, yeah, we did.

And you're just in time To sign a complaint.

No, thank you. I'll Just take him with me.

You're still saying that you Don't want to press charges?

No.

Not if mister... Arthur duncan.

Mr. Duncan agrees to go Down to the center for a chat.

I have no plans.

Look, melinda, this Guy isn't worth it.

He's got priors as Long as your arm.

He's gonna take off the Minute you hit the street.

I don't think he will.

I give you my word.

Turn him loose.

Barn, you're out! Hey, barney!

Welcome back, sir.

Hey, where you been?

Just dropped by to let you Guys know I was released.

Well, we were gonna come Down and see you tomorrow.

Saved you a trip.

What happened? Did You give them a name?

No!

No, I knew that.

I guess the judge figured That between the two of us

We were doing a fine job of Destroying each other's careers,

So he postponed the Trial a couple of weeks.

He's gonna try and work Out some kind of compromise.

So do you feel okay?

Yeah.

Just gonna clean Up and head on home.

I'm ready whenever you are.

Raymond, would you See to mr. Duncan,

And I'll join you later?

Okay, arthur. We're Going to the center now.

Oh. Where do you guys Keep your doughnuts?

I looked all over for them.

That's the u.S.O.

Oh. Wrong army.

- yeah. - yeah.

You know, it's a waste of time Trying to convert that guy.

He won't be the First one I've lost.

Yeah, right.

Look, maybe we can Arrest him again sometime.

You know, I'm usually not Attracted to women like you.

Oh.

I mean that, uh...

That usually I... I Don't know why...

But I seem to Gravitate toward...

The types who Are less... Upright.
