YEAH. COLLECT FROM VIRGIL TIBBS.

I DON'T KNOW, OPERATOR.

I NEVER ACCEPTED A COLLECT CALL

FROM PHILADELPHIA BEFORE.

PARKER, GET ME THE CHIEF, PLEASE.

DETECTIVE, I'M SORRY.

I DON'T WANT TO GET IN TROUBLE.

THEN YOU BETTER ACCEPT IT.

OK, OPERATOR. I'LL ACCEPT.

HI, DETECTIVE, HOW'S IT GOING?

THE CHIEF, PARKER, PLEASE.

GET ME THE CHIEF.

WELL, SURE. RIGHT AWAY.

CHIEF, A COLLECT CALL FROM DETECTIVE TIBBS ON LINE THREE.

BETCHA HE'S COMING HOME.

PROBABLY AFRAID WE CAN MANAGE WITHOUT HIM.

YOU FINALLY COMING HOME?

SPARTA SOUNDS REALLY GOOD ABOUT NOW.

THE CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE

HASN'T EXACTLY WELCOMED ME WITH OPEN ARMS.

I'VE BEEN ARRESTED AS AN ACCOMPLICE TO MURDER.

WELL.

THIS GOT ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOUR FRIEND DWIGHT?

DEFINITELY. HOW DO YOU FEEL

ABOUT MAKING A TRIP TO THE BIG CITY?

WELL, I BETTER BE ON THE NEXT PLANE.

I NEED ANOTHER FAVOR. CAN YOU TELL ALTHEA?

YEAH, SURE. I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

THANKS, CHIEF.

NOW THEN, BOYS.

VIRGIL'S IN TROUBLE, AIN'T HE?

HE SURE IS.

PARKER!

PHILADELPHIA COPS ARRESTED HIM.

GOT HIM IN JAIL FOR DOING SOMETHING,

TRYING TO GET HIS OLD FRIEND'S NAME CLEARED.

PARKER, MAKE ME PLANE CONNECTIONS FOR PHILADELPHIA.

YES, SIR.

BUBBA, YOU'RE IN CHARGE.

JAMISON, SWEET, BACK HIM UP.

YES, SIR.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

GET ME ON A PLANE.

OH! YES, SIR. YES, SIR.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

HI, CHIEF. NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE DOING THIS, EITHER,

BUT IT'S RELAXING. YOU SHOULD TRY.

I DON'T THINK I'D LOOK NEARLY AS PRETTY AS YOU DOING THAT.

HOW IS IT WITH YOU TODAY?

TODAY IS A GOOD DAY. WHAT'S UP?

I BEEN IN TOUCH WITH VIRGIL UP IN PHILADELPHIA.

AND, UH...

THERE'S A PROBLEM UP THERE.

I'VE GOT TO FLY UP AND BE WITH HIM.

IT'S ABOUT DWIGHT, ISN'T IT?

YES. UH...WELL, THE FACT IS,

ANOTHER OFFICER'S BEEN KILLED.

THE POLICE THERE ARE HOLDING VIRGIL.

THEY'VE ARRESTED HIM?

JUST FOR QUESTIONING.

I KNEW SOMETHING WOULD GO WRONG.

I GOT TO GO THERE.

NO, YOU CAN'T FLY UP.

BUT I CAN DRIVE.

NO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

OH!

SIT--SIT DOWN HERE. NOW PLEASE.

OH.

TAKE IT EASY. WE'LL GET HELP.

DEE, COME HERE, WILL YOU?

YES, SIR.

SHE AIN'T HAVING PROBLEMS, IS SHE?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW!

IT WAS CLOSE,

BUT WE STOPPED THE CONTRACTIONS.

WE'D LIKE HER TO CARRY TO TERM, SINCE IT'S TWINS.

WELL, CAN WE GO IN AND SEE HER?

SHE HAS TO STAY CALM.

NO MORE UNEXPECTED NEWS.

YES, MA'AM. NO, MA'AM.

ARE YOU SLEEPING, MRS. TIBBS?

OH, HI, CHIEF.

HI, BUBBA. HI.

WHEN DO YOU LEAVE?

I LEAVE IN AN HOUR.

VIRGIL SAID DWIGHT WAS KILLED BY THE POLICE.

YEAH, WELL, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SEE ABOUT THAT WHEN I GET THERE.

AND IN THE MEANTIME,

BUBBA'S HERE, YOU CALL ON HIM FOR ANYTHING YOU WANT.

[CHUCKLES] I ASKED FOR BUBBA'S HELP ONCE,

I THINK HE GOT MORE THAN HE BARGAINED FOR.

OH, BUT I CAN HANDLE IT. I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THAT LAMOOSE.

CHIEF.

PLEASE ASK VIRGIL TO COME HOME SOON.

I SURE WILL. I SURE WILL.

WE'LL BE CALLING YOU FROM PHILADELPHIA.

YOU CALL ME IF YOU NEED ANYTHING,

NO MATTER WHAT, YOU HEAR?

SHE WANTS TO SLEEP NOW.

YES, SIR.

ARE THEY CHARGING VIRGIL?

I THINK "FRAMING HIM" IS THE RIGHT PHRASE.

I'D LIKE TO SEE YOUR CAPTAIN, PLEASE.

YEAH, YOU AND A HUNDRED OTHERS.

WHAT'S YOUR BEEF?

I MIGHT ASK YOU THE SAME QUESTION,

BUT I'D MUCH RATHER SPEAK TO YOUR CAPTAIN.

IS HE AROUND?

AROUND FOR WHO?

"FOR WHOM," SERGEANT, "FOR WHOM."

YEAH? WELL, WHOM ARE YOU?

I'M BILL GILLESPIE.

I'M THE POLICE CHIEF OF SPARTA, MISSISSIPPI.

OH, I'M VERY IMPRESSED.

THE CAPTAIN AIN'T HERE.

WELL, WHO'S THE OFFICER IN CHARGE?

LIEUTENANT REYNOLDS IS THE WATCH COMMANDER.

FINE.

VIRGIL TIBBS IS IN TROUBLE.

WHAT EVIDENCE HAVE YOU GOT?

A MURDERED COP, TIBBS FOUND ON THE SCENE.

HE WON'T SAY WHY HE AND OFFICER EDWARDS WERE THERE.

FIND A MURDER WEAPON?

WE'RE LOOKING FOR IT.

YOU PRESENT AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT ASPECT

INSIDE THAT CAGE.

I WILL NOT RESPOND TO THAT.

LISTEN, SINCE YOU HAVE SO LITTLE TO HOLD HIM ON,

WHY CAN'T YOU RELEASE HIM INTO MY CUSTODY?

YOU'LL HAVE TO SEE THE CAPTAIN ABOUT THAT.

TIBBS HAS A FINE RECORD,

BUT HE'S WITHHOLDING INFORMATION ABOUT A MURDER.

GIVE CHIEF GILLESPIE A FEW MINUTES ALONE WITH TIBBS.

THANK YOU, LIEUTENANT. THANK YOU.

YOU ALL BETTER BE CAREFUL.

LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE BRINGING IN REINFORCEMENTS FROM MISSISSIPPI.

YOU ALWAYS UNDERESTIMATE THE COMPETITION, RYAN.

LET'S GO.

WE GOT SOMETHING TO TAKE CARE OF.

OKAY, WELL, SIT DOWN.

WELL, WELL.

HOW'S ALTHEA?

ALTHEA'S FINE.

SHE SENT DOWN SOME CLEAN CLOTHES FOR YOU.

GOT THEM IN A BAG OUTSIDE.

SHE DID START LABOR, YOU KNOW.

WELL, THEN SHE'S NOT FINE.

NO, NO, SHE'S ALL RIGHT.

THEY STOPPED THE CONTRACTIONS.

THEY'RE GOING TO KEEP HER IN THE HOSPITAL

TILL SHE DELIVERS.

YOU CAN CALL HER TOMORROW MORNING.

NO, NO, I BETTER...

WOULD I BE SITTING HERE TELLING YOU SHE'S FINE

IF SHE WASN'T FINE?

NOW, SIT STILL.

I WANT TO TALK ABOUT YOU.

ARE YOU WITHHOLDING INFORMATION?

EDWARDS DIED

BECAUSE THE COPS WERE TRYING TO KILL ME AND MISSED.

COPS?

HOW MANY?

THERE'S AT LEAST THREE.

WHY DID THEY WANT TO KILL YOU?

BECAUSE I'M ONTO SOMETHING.

LIKE DWIGHT.

WHAT?

SOMETHING BIG.

THE COP WHO DISCOVERED THE SO-CALLED EVIDENCE ON DWIGHT

IS THE SAME COP WHO ARRESTED ME.

D'AGOSTINO.

MIGHTY COINCIDENTAL.

WHO ARE THE OTHERS?

THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS-- A BAG LADY NAMED HANNAH.

NO! I WOULDN'T SAY ANYTHING.

I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING!

NO! PLEASE!

DON'T!

DON'T!

CELIA!

YOUR FATHER-IN-LAW TOLD ME ABOUT THIS.

WHY IS IT HAPPENING?

CELIA...

I, UM, WAS GETTING TOO CLOSE, LIKE DWIGHT.

I HAVEN'T PUT IT ALL TOGETHER YET.

LOOK, I...

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS-- IF THIS MEANS ANYTHING,

BUT I FOUND IT IN DWIGHT'S WALLET

BEHIND AJA'S PICTURE.

THESE NAMES MEAN SOMETHING TO YOU?

WELL, FEEMSTER,

HE WAS IN ALL THE PAPERS ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO,

SUSPECTED OF KILLING SEVEN BLACK CHILDREN.

I REMEMBER.

DWIGHT WAS FURIOUS WHEN HE GOT OFF.

THEY FOUND FEEMSTER'S BODY IN THE RIVER.

IT WAS HORRIBLE.

AND VERY STRANGE.

HOW LONG ARE THEY HOLDING YOU, VIRGIL?

THE CHIEF IS WORKING ON IT.

THIS IS HARLAN CASSIDY,

HEAD OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS.

HOW DO YOU DO?

I HEARD ABOUT DETECTIVE TIBBS' SITUATION.

TOO BAD. HE'S A GOOD MAN.

SIT DOWN.

HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET THIS SITUATION STRAIGHTENED OUT?

BELIEVE ME, GILLESPIE,

THERE'S NOTHING I'D LIKE BETTER

THAN TO GET IT STRAIGHTENED OUT,

BUT TIBBS IS WITHHOLDING INFORMATION.

TIBBS ASSURES ME THAT HE'S NOT IN VIOLATION OF ANY LAW,

AND I BELIEVE HIM.

NOW, I WANT HIM RELEASED,

AND IF I HAVE TO,

I'LL GO TO A HIGHER AUTHORITY.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOUR NECK OF THE WOODS,

GILLESPIE, BUT WE DON'T RESPOND WELL TO THREATS

HERE IN PHILADELPHIA.

WELL, IT SEEMS TIBBS IS BEING RELEASED.

IT APPEARS WE HAVE OUR MURDERER.

WHO?

THE GUN USED TO KILL EDWARDS

WAS FOUND IN A DRUG DEALER'S APARTMENT

LAST NIGHT.

WELL, WELL, WELL.

CONGRATULATIONS,

AND, UH, THANK YOU.

I WON'T TAKE ANY MORE OF YOUR TIME.

MR. CASSIDY.

CHIEF.

WHEN ARE YOU HEADED BACK FOR SPARTA, GILLESPIE?

WELL, I'LL WAIT ON TIBBS.

HE'S GOT LOOSE ENDS HE WANTS TO TIE UP

BEFORE WE LEAVE THE BIG CITY,

BUT NO DOUBT I'LL SEE YOU ALL AGAIN.

WELL, ALTHEA, I JUST THINK I OWE IT

TO DWIGHT'S WIFE AND CHILD.

DON'T YOU?

OF COURSE YOU DO,

AND I KNOW YOU WANT TO BE SATISFIED

WITH WHAT'S HAPPENING UP THERE.

ALL RIGHT. NOW, YOU CALL ME IF ANYTHING, UM...

OR IF YOU START TO, UH...

I PROMISE.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I KNOW. I LOVE YOU, TOO.

[ blows kiss ]

BE CAREFUL. BYE, BABY.

AND I WILL HAVE COFFEE,

BUT I'LL HAVE IT AFTER DINNER.

THANK YOU.

WHY...VIRGIL TIBBS.

THIS IS A SURPRISE!

MAMA CHAMINO.

I'M HAPPY YOU REMEMBER ME.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I SEE YOU WITHOUT A GIRL.

UH-OH.

DON'T WORRY, HONEY.

A GOOD-LOOKING MAN LIKE YOU... THINGS HAVE GOTTA PICK UP.

SO THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE YOU USED TO TAKE THEM

TO WINE 'EM AND DINE 'EM, HUH?

AMONG OTHER PLACES, CHIEF. AMONG OTHER PLACES.

HM. THOSE WERE THE GOOD 'OL DAYS.

THESE DAYS ARE BETTER.

YEAH.

YEAH.

CHIEF, I FOUND THIS ARTICLE IN DWIGHT'S DESK.

RAY NAGUCHIE WAS THE DRUG DEALER THAT WAS KILLED.

DID YOUR FRIEND DWIGHT

HAVE SOME PERSONAL INTEREST IN THIS CASE?

WELL, I'M NOT SURE.

BUT DWIGHT'S WIFE ALSO FOUND THIS LIST...

IN HIS WALLET.

NOW THIS GUY WAS ACCUSED OF MASS MURDER,

THEN KILLED, NOBODY KNOWS BY WHO,

AFTER HIS RELEASE.

WHAT ARE YOU GETTING AT?

RAY NAGUCHIE BEAT THE SYSTEM, TOO,

JUST LIKE THIS FEEMSTER DID.

HE WAS RELEASED ON A TECHNICALITY.

24 HOURS LATER, HE WAS KILLED.

YESTERDAY ON THE NEWS, ANOTHER MURDERER...

RELEASED ON A TECHNICALITY...

WAS KILLED.

YEARS AGO DOWN IN ALABAMA,

THERE WAS A COUNTY SHERIFF DOWN THERE

HAD A FEUD WITH A CROOKED JUDGE.

THE SHERIFF WOULD CATCH ALL THE CRIMINALS,

THEN THE JUDGE WOULD FIND REASONS,

IF YOU FOLLOW MY MEANING,

FOR TURNING THEM ALL LOOSE.

THE SHERIFF DECIDED HE HAD TO TAKE JUSTICE INTO HIS OWN HANDS.

HE BECAME A VIGILANTE.

A VIGILANTE.

VIGILANTE COPS...

DWIGHT STUMBLED ONTO VIGILANTE COPS.

WELL, WE GOT TO-- WE GOT TO FIND HANNAH.

LET ME DO SOMETHING.

LET ME VISIT CAPTAIN JENKINS,

SEE IF I CAN GET PERMISSION

TO GO POKING AROUND IN THE FILES.

I'LL TRY AND FIND OUT THE NAMES OF THE POLICE OFFICERS

THAT ARRESTED THE MEN ON THIS LIST.

NOW, WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THAT MALEFACTOR YOU SAW ON TV?

DELGADO.

DELGADO.

WELL, I'LL KEEP THESE.

I WOULDN'T WANT IT SAID I WASN'T COOPERATING

WITH A FELLOW LAW ENFORCER.

I CERTAINLY WOULDN'T WANT TO SAY IT.

PARKER, THIS IS CHIEF GILLESPIE.

HOW DO YOU DO?

HOW YOU DOING, SIR?

PARKER WILL PULL ANY FILE YOU NEED.

WELL, YOUR NAME IS PARKER?

YES, SIR.

WE GOT A PARKER IN SPARTA, MISSISSIPPI.

HE'S GOOD AT SEARCHING FILES

IF HE CAN GET THE FILE DRAWER OPEN.

HERE ARE THE LIST OF NAMES.

OH, I CAN'T QUITE MAKE THAT ONE OUT.

OH, EXCUSE ME. THAT ONE IS DELGADO.

DWIGHT WALKER DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO

WITH THE DELGADO CASE.

HE DIDN'T?

WELL, THAT'S INTERESTING.

WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON, GILLESPIE?

I'M WORKING ON A HUNCH.

YOU TRUST YOUR HUNCHES, DO YOU?

NO, BUT IF I DON'T FOLLOW THEM UP,

THEY KEEP ON PLAGUING ME.

HERE YOU GO, SIR.

THANK YOU. WELL, THAT WAS SWIFT WORK, PARKER,

AND THAT'S SOMETHING I NEVER THOUGHT

I'D HEAR MYSELF SAY.

NOW.

WELL, WELL.

GILLESPIE'S HERE.

SHH! WHERE?

HE'S UPSTAIRS. HE'S GOING THROUGH SOME FILES.

WELL, LET HIM DIG.

WITHOUT HANNAH, THEY HAVE NO WITNESS.

WITHOUT HANNAH?

SHUT UP.

SHE'S A BUM. SHE'S A BAG LADY.

NOBODY CARES. WHY SHOULD YOU?

FIRST DWIGHT, THEN EDWARDS--

WE HAD NO CHOICE.

THEY LIVE.

WE DIE.

WE DIE, AND WHAT HAPPENS

TO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO?

EXCUSE ME, SIR.

HI. I'M LOOKING FOR HANNAH.

AGAIN. I STILL HAVEN'T SEEN HER.

THERE'S PLENTY MORE WHERE SHE CAME FROM.

TAKE YOUR PICK.

IS SHE IN TROUBLE?

THERE WAS A COP HERE YESTERDAY LOOKING FOR HER.

WAS IT A COP YOU KNEW?

NO.

LOOK, IF HANNAH COMES BACK...

HAVE HER CALL ME....

AT THIS NUMBER.

OK? THANKS.

OK. COME ON.

COME ON.

"HAMMERIN' HANNAH."

"FROM DEBUTANTE TO THE 12TH STREET MISSION."

YEAH, THEY KILLED THE POOR BAG LADY, TOO.

HM. WHAT KIND OF MEN WOULD DO SUCH A THING?

WELL, CRAZY MEN, BABY.

YOU KNOW, VIRGIL,

MY FATHER KNOWS THAT CITY LIKE THE BACK OF HIS HAND.

HE'D BE HAPPY--

YEAH, WELL, I WAS A COP HERE, TOO, ALTHEA.

YEAH, BUT, HONEY, HE WAS A COP THERE FOR OVER 30 YEARS.

WHY DO YOU THINK THEY CALLED HIM "IRON JAW PETERSON"?

UH, WELL, I CAN'T RECALL A STORY THIS SECOND,THEA,

BUT I'VE HEARD IT A NUMBER OF TIMES.

YOU, UH...

UH, SO YOU DOIN' ALL RIGHT, THEN?

YEAH, I'M FEELING OKAY.

I GET ANY BIGGER, THEY'LL HAVE TO PUT ME IN A DOUBLE BED.

NOW, DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT.

MY FATHER WAS A GREAT COP.

YEAH, I'VE HEARD THAT, TOO.

MANY TIMES.

VIRGIL, YOU WILL BE COMING HOME SOON, WON'T YOU?

YEAH. REAL SOON. I PROMISE.

I'LL CALL YOU TOMORROW, BABY.

OKAY.

BYE. [ blows kiss ]

WHAT DO YOU GOT?

WELL, WE KNOW THAT RYAN OR D'AGOSTINO

ARRESTED THESE CRIMINALS.

THE ONLY WAY COPS COULD KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THESE MURDERS

IS BECAUSE SOMEBODY'S PROTECTING THEM.

THAT'S TRUE. MAYBE EVEN CAPTAIN JENKINS.

YOU ASKED ME ABOUT TWO GUYS--

D'AGOSTINO--HE'S ONE OF THEM.

YEAH. I REMEMBER D'AGOSTINO.

HE WAS ALWAYS IN TROUBLE.

ROUGHING UP PEOPLE.

CAME UP BEFORE INTERNAL AFFAIRS SEVERAL TIMES.

YOU REMEMBER A RYAN WITH THE SAME TROUBLE?

MMM... NO.

BUT YOU CAN CHECK WITH INTERNAL AFFAIRS.

WE WILL.

YEAH. THANKS FOR THE LEAD, CALVIN.

ANYTIME.

ALWAYS AVAILABLE FOR CONSULTATIONS

WITH THOSE IN NEED OF MY EXPERTISE.

RIGHT.

THANKS AGAIN.

HEY, CHIEF GILLESPIE.

HOW DO YOU DO?

DETECTIVE TIBBS.HELLO.

I WAS HAPPY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR RELEASE, TIBBS.

SORRY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.

ANYBODY COULD MAKE A MISTAKE.

HOW TRUE.

ANYTHING I CAN DO FOR YOU?

YEAH, UH... IS THERE ANY CHANCE

WE COULD TAKE A PEEK INTO YOUR FILES?

NO PROBLEM.

I GOT JUST THE MAN YOU WANT.

ROBERTS.

ROBERTS, TAKE CHIEF GILLESPIE AND DETECTIVE TIBBS

TO THE COMPUTER ROOM.

I'M SURE ROBERTS CAN HELP YOU.

HE'S BEEN AROUND FOREVER,

AND KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS DEPARTMENT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

"BEEN AROUND FOREVER."

"KNOWS EVERYTHING."

WE'VE SWITCHED OVER TO THESE MONSTERS.

ALL OUR RECORDS ARE ON HERE.

WE GOT ONE OF THOSE THINGS. I DON'T TRUST IT.

YOU'LL COME AROUND.

EVEN BUBBA CAME AROUND.

CAN I SEE WHAT YOU HAVE ON CHARLES RYAN?

SURE.

TRY THIS.

HUH? HEY.

HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.

I MEAN, YOU DON'T KNOW THE CODE.

I MEAN, HOW COULD--

WELL. HUH.

WELL, THERE'S NO RECORD ON CHARLES RYAN.

WELL, WOULD YOU PLEASE TRY D'AGOSTINO?

LOU D'AGOSTINO.

I DON'T THINK THIS IS ANY FASTER

THAN THUMBING THROUGH FILE DRAWERS.

CHIEF, THERE ARE 5,000 FILE DRAWERS IN THIS THING.

NOPE.

THERE'S NO RECORD ON HIM EITHER.

ANYTHING ELSE?

YEAH. WHEN YOU SWITCHED OVER TO THESE THINGS,

DID YOU KEEP ANY OF THE OLD-FASHIONED PAPER FILES?

'COURSE. YOU THINK I'M A DOPE OR SOMETHING?

NEVER COULD UNDERSTAND

WHY THEY KEPT THESE FILES

ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE IN THE BASEMENT.

LET'S SEE. THAT WAS D'AGOSTINO, WASN'T IT?

YEAH. YEAH.

Ds...

OH, WELL, HERE IT IS.

WE DO HAVE SOMETHING.

AND HERE'S RYAN, TOO.

WELL, WELL.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

YOU CAN'T TRUST THOSE MACHINES.

SOMEBODY DIDN'T WANT THIS INFORMATION IN THE COMPUTER.

IT WOULD SEEM.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

COME IN.

I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP.

SEEMS AS THOUGH WE WENT OFF ON THE WRONG TRACK.

WHAT TRACK WERE YOU ON?

THAT DETECTIVE OF MINE

WAS SO INTENT ON PROVING HIS FRIEND INNOCENT

THAT HE BEGAN GRASPING AT STRAWS.

I HAVE NOTHING BUT RESPECT FOR TIBBS

AND FOR WHAT HE TRIED TO DO FOR DWIGHT WALKER.

WELL, HE'LL APPRECIATE HEARING THAT.

I BETTER GET GOING. THANKS AGAIN.

YOU'RE VERY WELCOME.

AND SAFE JOURNEY HOME.

THANK YOU.

YOU'RE ACCUSING TWO OF MY OFFICERS OF MURDER?

THAT'S RIGHT.

IT SEEMS THAT THEY AND CASSIDY

WERE WORKING TOGETHER.

AT FIRST WE THOUGHT

THE HIGHER UP PROTECTING THESE GUYS WAS YOU.

IN THE, UH... PAST YEAR,

THESE SIX CRIMINALS WERE RELEASED ON A TECHNICALITY

AND THEN MURDERED 24 HOURS LATER.

WE'VE CHECKED THEIR FILES.

ALL THE ARRESTS WERE MADE BY EITHER

D'AGOSTINO OR RYAN.

D'AGOSTINO AND RYAN

WERE UP BEFORE INTERNAL AFFAIRS.

AND CASSIDY DROPPED THE CHARGES ON BOTH OF THEM.

WELL, JUST BECAUSE HE DROPPED CHARGES--

DWIGHT'S THE PROOF.

HE CAUGHT THEM.

SO THEY TRUMP UP

THIS PHONY INTERNAL AFFAIRS INVESTIGATION.

OTHERWISE, NO ONE WOULD BELIEVE

THAT DWIGHT WOULD KILL HIMSELF.

THESE VIGILANTES, THEY'RE LIABLE TO KILL AGAIN.

WE'VE GOT TO HIT TIBBS AND GILLESPIE NOW.

THEY'RE AT A DEAD END. I TOOK CARE OF THAT.

THEY'RE HEADED BACK TO SPARTA.

NOW WHAT ABOUT KASCH?

HE FLIPPED OVER THE BAG LADY.

I THINK WE MADE A MISTAKE ABOUT HIM.

JUST INITIATE HIM.

THE RAPIST KASCH ARRESTED WAS RELEASED.

THIS TIME WE'LL MAKE HIM DO THE HIT HIMSELF.

WHAT IF HE DOESN'T GO FOR IT?

HE'S GOT TO.

HE'S EITHER IN...

OR HE'S OUT.

CHECKED WITH THE D.A., CAPTAIN.

FOUR PEOPLE RELEASED YESTERDAY.

ALL ON TECHNICALITIES.

THANK YOU.

WELL, THE ARRESTING OFFICERS ON THESE CASES

WERE RHODES, SIMMS, KASCH,

AND MICHAELS.

THERE'S NO D'AGOSTINO OR RYAN.

THERE'S AT LEAST THREE OFFICERS INVOLVED IN THIS.

HERE.

KASCH WAS BROUGHT UP BEFORE INTERNAL AFFAIRS.

WHO?

A ROOKIE.

OFFICER BRIAN KASCH.

AND CASSIDY DROPPED THE CHARGES.

KASCH...WAS AT DWIGHT'S FUNERAL.

WHAT WERE THE CHARGES?

HIS PARTNER WAS KILLED.

KASCH THEN FIRED OFF THREE ROUNDS

INTO THE ASSAILANT.

HE'S OUR MAN.

UH... WHO DID KASCH ARREST?

A RAPIST NAMED AMATO.

HEAVEN AMATO.

AMATO WAS RELEASED YESTERDAY?

YES.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO.

COME ON!

I CAN'T DO THIS.

NOW, LISTEN TO ME.

AMATO RAPED A 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL.

WHO'S GOING TO KEEP HIM FROM DOING IT AGAIN

IF WE DON'T?

COULD SOMEBODY COME IN THE FRONT?

D'AGOSTINO'S GOT THAT COVERED.

THERE'S NO TIME FOR SECOND THOUGHTS.

LOOK. CASSIDY SAYS YOU'RE EITHER IN

OR YOU'RE OUT.

YOU UNDERSTAND?

NOW, COME ON

COME ON!

I CAN'T.

IT'S NOTHING BUT PILLOWS.

WHAT'S GOING ON? SHUT UP!

LET'S GO.

WHAT NOW?

I GOT TO GO ON DUTY.

SO DO I. I'LL MEET YOU THERE.

BUT THEY'RE ON TO US.

IF THEY WERE, THEY WOULD'VE MOVED IN.

THEN WHO SET THAT UP?

WE DON'T KNOW. JUST GET GOING.

GILLESPIE AND TIBBS MUST HAVE WORKED OUT THIS SET THIS UP.

I'M TELLING YOU KILLING DWIGHT WAS A MISTAKE.

WE DID WHAT WE HAD TO DO.

HE SHOULD'VE STAYED OUT OF IT,

MINDED HIS OWN DAMN BUSINESS,

INSTEAD OF TRYING TO PLAY THE NOBLE COP.

THAT'S IT!

THAT'S WHAT WE NEEDED!

WE NEED CASSIDY, TOO. NOW WAIT.

NO. LET'S GET THEM NOW.

PLEASE, VIRGIL. WE HAVE A PLAN. LET IT PLAY OUT.

THEY ADMITTED IT. THEY KILLED DWIGHT!

CAPTAIN.

GILLESPIE'S RIGHT, TIBBS.

WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHO ELSE IS INVOLVED.

SEND A TEAM OVER TO RYAN'S AND ARREST HIM FOR MURDER.

I'M NOT DISTURBING YOU, AM I?

NO.

NOT AT ALL.

GOOD.

'CAUSE I, UH...

I GOT SOMETHING I THINK YOU OUGHT TO LISTEN TO.

RYAN.

GLAD YOU COULD MAKE IT.

YOU PROBABLY WANT TO HEAR THIS, TOO.

GILLESPIE AND TIBBS MUST HAVE WORKED OUT THIS SET THIS UP.

I'M TELLIN' YOU, KILLING DWIGHT WAS A MISTAKE.

WE DID WHAT WE HAD TO DO.

HE SHOULD'VE STAYED OUT OF IT,

INSTEAD OF TRYING TO PLAY THE NOBLE COP.

IF DWIGHT HADN'T BEEN SO NOBLE...

HE WOULD HAVE LIVED LONGER, WOULDN'T HE?

BUT YOU--

YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND

COPS LIKE DWIGHT AND EDWARDS, CAN YOU?

THEY FOLLOW RULES THAT YOU HAVE THROWN OUT!

RULES THE REST OF US FOLLOW EVERY DAY!

WHAT KIND OF MAN...

WOULD KILL ANOTHER COP

AND LEAVE HIM HANGING THERE FOR HIS WIFE...

AND CHILD...

TO FIND?

DID YOU...

STAND THERE...

AND WAIT FOR DWIGHT... TO DIE?

OR WAS THAT M-MAYBE EVEN A LITTLE TOO MUCH FOR YOU?

OHH.

YOUR FRIEND...

WASN'T TOO NOBLE IN THE END, TIBBS.

HE BEGGED FOR HIS LIFE...

JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHERS.

OH.

KASCH.

YOU GOT A MINUTE?

[RING]

HELLO.

IT'S KASCH. THEY'RE ONTO US.

IT WAS A SETUP. THEY GOT RYAN AND D'AGOSTINO.

DON'T PANIC. MEET ME.

OK.

BUT THEY'RE ONTO YOU, TOO.

I DON'T THINK SO. NOT YET.

YEAH.

I'M STARTING NOW.

OVER HERE.

SO...

WHAT WAS THE SETUP?

AMATO WASN'T THERE.

JUST PILLOWS IN THE BED.

AND THEN THEY BUGGED THE CAR.

GILLESPIE AND TIBBS.

BUT WHO DO THEY WANT? IT'S NOT JUST US.

US IS ALL THERE IS, STUPID.

I CHOSE YOU THREE FOR THIS OPERATION,

TWO OF YOU ARE RELIABLE.

BUT YOU'RE NOT ONE OF THEM.

ALL DEPENDS ON YOUR POINT OF VIEW.

DON'T TURN AROUND.

PUT THAT GUN UP IN THE AIR.

GET IT UP THERE LIKE HE SAYS, OR I'LL FIRE!

THE WAY I LOOK AT, MR. KASCH THERE IS VERY RELIABLE.

HE DID EVERYTHING ITOLD HIM TO.

I WONDER IF YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.

NONE OF YOU UNDERSTAND.

THE CRIMINALS ARE TAKING OVER.

MY WAY IS THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THEM

IF THE JUDGES KEEP PUTTING THEM BACK ON THE STREETS.

THE JUDGES ARE DOING THEIR JOBS, CASSIDY.

THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE THE LAW WORK!

YOU WANT TO THROW IT OUT!

THE COP'S JOB IS TO BRING IN SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE,

LEGALLY OBTAINED,

SO THE JUDGE CAN DO HIS JOB--

DO IT RIGHT, QUICK, MAKE IT STICK.

YOU'RE NOT TALKING TO ME, ARE YOU?

NO, I RECKON IT'S TOO LATE TO TALK TO YOU.

I'M TALKING TO THESE MEN STANDING AROUND HERE.

THESE LAWMEN MIGHT BE INTERESTED, 'CAUSE...

MANY'S THE TIME I FIND MYSELF WITH A GUN IN MY HAND,

MY FINGER ON THE TRIGGER.

I WAS SORELY TEMPTED TO BE THE JUDGE AND THE JURY.

SOMETHING HELD ME BACK.

PRAISE THE LORD.

AND I DID NOT BREAK THE RULES.

AND I DID NOT BECOME A CRIMINAL LIKE THIS MAN HERE.

WELL, CAPTAIN JENKINS,

I EXPECT YOU WANT TO TAKE HIM NOW.

GET HIM OUT OF HERE.

KASCH, TOO.

DETECTIVE TIBBS, WE GOT A MESSAGE FROM THE PRECINCT.

I THINK YOU'RE WIFE'S DELIVERING.

WELL, COME ON, VIRGIL, THE TWINS ARE NOT GONNA WAIT ON US.

OH, NO. CAPTAIN JENKINS, I HAVE TO GO NOW, I'M HAVING TWINS.

MY WIFE IS HAVING TWINS.

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE.

I KNOW IT WAS HARD ON YOU.

THANKS.

CAR'S OVER THERE, VIRGIL, GO AHEAD.

OKAY, THEN.

YOU BETTER TAKE CHARGE OF THIS.

CAPTAIN, I WANT TO THANK YOU VERY MUCH TOO.

MAYBE ONE OF THESE TIMES YOU'D COME VISIT THE TOWN OF MISSISSIPPI.

GILLESPIE, YOU'LL BE SURPRISED.

GOOD. GOOD.

Althea: OH, BUBBA.

I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE.

BUT I DO WISH VIRGIL WAS HERE.

HE WAS COUNTING SO MUCH ON BEING THE COACH FOR ME.

[ screams ]

MRS. TIBBS, I'M STILL BANKING ON HIM MAKING IT.

ALTHEA, WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

BUBBA, I WANT YOU TO STEP OUTSIDE FOR SOME AIR.

MRS. TIBBS, WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

[ Althea moans loudly ]

YOU'RE LOOKIN' A LITTLE PIQUED.

ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO GO THROUGH WITH THIS?

NO, MA'AM. I'M NOT.

BUT I CAN'T LET HER DOWN.

ALL RIGHT, THEN. LET'S GO.

YEAH. LET'S GO.

BUBBA!

OH, YOU LIKE TO CUT THINGS CLOSE, DON'T YOU?

AM I TOO LATE? WHERE'S THEA? IN THERE.

COME ON, VIRGIL. HURRY.

OH...YEAH.

COME ON, THEA. PUSH, BABY.

ONE, GO AHEAD. [SCREAMING]

ONE... TWO... THREE... FOUR...

COME ON, BABY, YOU'RE ALMOST THERE.

COME ON, THEA. PUSH.

ONE... TWO... THREE... FOUR...

THAT'S IT, BABY. YOU'RE ALMOST THERE.

OKAY, STOP PUSHING.

[ baby cries ]

VIRGIL...

IT'S ALL RIGHT. IT'S ALL RIGHT.

[ baby crying ]

HERE WE ARE.

IT'S A BOY.

OH! HONEY, LOOK AT HIM.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

OKAY, NOW YOU CAN RELAX. THIS COULD BE A WHILE.

OH, NO.

I DON'T THINK SO.

SHE NEVER WAS ONE TO WASTE ANY TIME.

COME ON, ALTHEA, DEEP BREATHS.

DEEP!

WELL, BUBBA.

I HATE TO SEE YOU SITTIN' OUT HERE ON THIS BENCH.

MISSIN' ALL THAT'S GOIN' ON IN THERE.

I KNOW HOW DISAPPOINTED YOU MUST BE.

NOT BEING ABLE TO WITNESS THE MIRACLE OF CHILDBIRTH.

IT JUST ISN'T FAIR.

CHIEF, THIS AIN'T FUNNY. THAT LAMOOZ STUFF.

LAMAIZ?

LAMAZE.

CHIEF, I'VE JUST BEEN SCRIMMAGING UP TO NOW.

YOU GOT THE REAL BALLGAME GOIN' ON IN THERE.

ALL RIGHT, THEA. JUST ONE MORE PUSH.

YOU CAN DO IT. THERE YOU GO, BABY.

PUSH, THEA. COME ON.

THERE'S THE HEAD!

[ baby crying ]

HERE SHE IS.

HONEY...

OH. OH!

OH, HONEY. I WAS AFRAID YOU WEREN'T GONNA BE HERE.

WELL, I WAS THERE FOR THE FUN PART.

YOU THINK I WAS GONNA LET YOU GO THROUGH THIS WITHOUT ME?

OH, GOD.

THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL, THEA.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]
