Item 9, as regards the deplorable spelling being found in this precinct.
Especially disturbing here...
is the recent increase in errors on your Form 1506 salmon...
1596 salmon, your traffic citation 943 mint.
So, please, uh, note.
- "Black male,"person- - Say, Renko. I want to see you upstairs.
And "blackmail," the crime.
Men, these common mistakes...
besides being highly debatable comprehension-wise...
can only make an impression on the public's perception of our intelligence...
that I might characterize as, uh, negative in the extremis.
So, uh, what say, huh, guys?
Scribble 'em down on the back of your Miranda cards...
and let's get 'em right next time.
Scribble.
Item 10 is the union situation.
Word is the, uh, city got down to serious bargaining yesterday.
But let's not raise any expectations.
Let's not put down any thousand dollar deposits...
on Caribbean love nests yet.
All right. Listen up. Operation Cash and Carry.
Be apprised that, uh, there are now 73 day-night automated tellers in the city...
six of them on the Hill.
Customers at all six have been hit by a gang of perpetrators...
operating out of a dark-colored, late-model van.
As of 9:00 a.m. This morning, half a dozen of our finest...
- will commence undercover surveillance.
The last item...
is, uh, the subject of organ donation.
- Which one? - The one you don't use.
As of Friday, the Greater Metropolitan Vital Organ Bank...
had received only three donor cards from this precinct.
One of said cards...
albeit proffered by the anonymous donor with, I doubt, the best of intentions...
- listed only an unmentionable.
And according to Ms. Wyshanski of said bank, unusable organ of reproduction.
Now, guys, cognizant as I am of the natural reluctance...
to, uh, part with one's vital organs, even an extremity...
nevertheless, I might point out that...
you're not donating a part of your body to keep a stranger alive.
He or she is donating nearly everything else...
to keep a part of you alive.
- That's a good one. - Right. Right.
All right, that's it. Let's roll.
And, hey. Hey. Let's be careful out there.
All right.
Say, Renko, how are those reports coming?
They'll be on the captain's desk at 9:00, as promised.
Hey, you two, report time. Let's hit it.
- Belker. - Belker.
Thank you. Come on, move it. We're still in the same place. Come on! Come on!
Move it. Out of my way. Watch it.
- Can I help you, ma'am? - I wanna see Belker. Oh, there he is.
Lady, you can't just walk in there.
Out of my way, hairball.
All right, mother's maiden name.
Bailey, Pearl.
- They don't want to go. - What do you mean they don't want to go?
I just talked to her. In three days, the cruise leaves, paid in full...
and she says to me, "Luana, we'd be happier if you and your brother went."
All right, it's very simple.
You go back to her, you say to her...
"Ma, Mick and I love you both very much.
"But if you and Dad don't get on that boat...
- I'm gonna break both your legs." - Why do I have to do it?
I'm on a very big undercover operation today, so forget it.
What's the matter, you got amnesia, how to pick up a telephone or what?
What's this?
- Is this what I think it is? - Just keep your hands off the evidence, hairbag.
Hey. Hey, those are sexual appliances.
Oh, it heats up too.
How would you like me to tear out both your lungs, dogbreath?
Dispatch. We have a 9-11.
Armed robbery in progress.
See surplus store, corner People's Drive, 124th Street.
We're doing our best to expedite it, Jerry.
Internal Affairs should have the paperwork by tomorrow morning.
Excuse me, Francis, if I could interrupt for one moment.
- Your lunch for Hal Massey today. - Oh, Phil, I forgot.
I made plans to have lunch with Howard Hunter.
May I suggest a wiser course politics-wise, familial-wise...
- and otherwise? - Okay. Okay, you're right.
What the heck. I'll take Howard with me. We'll kill two birds with one stone.
- I'll call Fay and reserve another place. - Great. Thanks, Phil.
- You know the route from there, right? - Hmm?
Well, Internal Affairs will come here or you'll go there, depending on your schedule.
- Oh, yeah. - You gonna get a lawyer?
That'd just make me look guilty.
To tell you the truth, I don't feel that I need one.
Frank, you know I'm real sorry this whole thing happened.
I know you are, Jer. So am I.
Whoa! Whoa!
Oh, I'm really sorry, man. You okay?
Good. Hey, Captain, I just slipped.
Man.
I'll get a broom.
I'll clean it up.
I'll be right back.
Some days, huh, Frank?
- Oh, uh, there's one other thing, Jerry. - Hmm?
Are you moonlighting?
Oh, just a couple of hours, that's all.
We both know that's against the book.
Well, I gotta do something. I got ends to make meet.
I gotta- I gotta hire somebody to take care of my kids, and-
It seems like I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't.
You mean this stuff's not bulletproof?
A moment of your time, Captain.
Sure. I guess that's all, Jerry.
Doesn't look like a skull-buster, I'll grant you that.
- Are you here about him? - These.
These.
Are these all yours?
Take a look, pizza man.
I don't know anything about these, Joyce. The night officer was on duty.
Loitering. Public urination. Peeping Tom. Littering. Littering?
Was last night the coldest night of the year by 10 degrees, or am I Kurt Waldheim?
They're your classic cold-weather busts, Furillo, admit it.
Temperature drops, windchill's up off the river...
time to comb the alleys for a misdemeanoring bum.
Well, we did have quite a few officers out on foot patrol last night, that's true.
So, uh, do you suppose we could maybe short-circuit the Mickey Mouse right here?
The taxpayers could use the savings.
And I'd like to get out of court and have dinner with a cop tonight.
- Oh? - You know, the two of us ought to stay in from out of the cold.
Well, I'm not promising anything, counselor, but I'll ask Ray- Henry.
Henry, uh, could you find Ray for me, please?
Yeah, sure.
It is supposed to be chilly tonight.
See you about 6:30, pizza man.
- You know what this place needs? - Hmm?
A repairman.
I wish this union we paid all these dues to would get us some money, you know?
Say, with what you owe, it will hardly scratch the surface.
I don't know how a guy like Nash does it.
I mean, I'm a single guy, I don't pay a whole lot of rent...
and I sure don't spend all my money on clothes like you Afro-Americans.
Yeah. You know...
I don't know where your whole paycheck goes, cowboy.
I mean, it would be one thing if you spent $4,000 on a Harley...
- or a share in a powerboat-
Or, um, pay $200 on a pair of snakeskin cowboy boots...
- direct from Houston, Texas, that don't fit- - Will you please stop?
Or if you fell in love with your creative writing teacher...
and bought a $600 electric typewriter that's still in the box.
- Do you have to get into emotional things now? - Or paid $1,500...
for a set of contour weights.
You know, you're starting to depress me, Bobby.
I'm just a 31 -year-old white man trying to make my way in the world.
- Ohh. - They won't pay me nothing.
Eastside Park units, we got a vehicular, mid 600 block.
- Forget about it. - Oh, come on, cowboy.
Uh, Unit 2202 on that Van Buren vehicular, we're close. We'll cover. Over.
- Roger, 2202. - Bobby, I'm too depressed talking about my financial condition...
to get involved in crime fightin' now.
My husband's gonna put a dent in you!
Listen, you shouldn't have been backing up like that!
If you think you're going someplace, you got another mistake coming...
- 'cause I got your license. - You're lying like a rug, boy!
Just because you look like Tarzan don't mean you have to talk like him!
Don't call me names and don't point your finger at me!
- I'll point at you! - Hey!
Please! Everybody keep quiet! The fast dancing's over. Get back to your car.
License and registration, all around. Come on. License and registration.
Listen. Right here, see? William Teacher.
See, she come out the alley, she didn't even stop to take a look!
- He's lying like a rug, boy! - You saw it. I ain't gonna listen to you with "boy"!
I said you be quiet. And, you, hey, don't you be calling him boy, number one...
and number two, you get your license and registration.
- All right, partner. - Back there. Take a seat.
Y'all hear me? Get out-
Look at this, stoned again. Get out of the car.
Get out here. Now just stand up here.
You know what? It looks like you need a little bit more sleep.
A little more sleep, a little less of that pharmaceutical you've been ingesting.
Go over here. Stay right there. I said, stay right there!
Don't you come off of there. Hey, looks like we got a real junkyard mess here, don't it?
Hey, if you're so interested in looking at this...
why don't you go home and get a dustpan and a broom...
- and come back and y'all give me a hand, huh? - I'll sweep you up, honky.
Hey, why don't you climb into that refrigerator and close it?
I have two ambulances comin' from County Medical. You all want to sign-
Hey, he's got a pipe!
You get over here!
Man, looks like you saved my head.
On the sidewalk. Get back.
See, we're trying to get the traffic through here before Christmas.
What's gonna happen is this. You have to get an inspection. Here's the slip.
- It'll be in about two weeks. - This one's uninsured.
Look, I got insurance, man. Believe it, l-I got it.
The computer says no.
When did you get that insurance, Mr. Teacher?
Look, I just paid last week. I swear, man. Look, it went like this.
I had insurance, but then when they canceled it, I had to get the other.
Mr. Teacher, I really hate to tell you this, and I hate to do this to you...
but, uh, I can overlook this inspection here, this taillight and so on and so forth...
but uninsured is a criminal misdemeanor.
That is V.T.L. 427 of the criminal code.
I'm afraid me and my partner here are gonna have to take you in.
Oh, man! Look, man, I got it at home, I swear.
Look, I got kids- I got three kids and a wife I got to support.
Now if I go downtown, I'll lose my job, and I go on welfare.
Now what good's that?
No good at all.
Look, I'll tell you what. You come down this afternoon about 4:00, 4:30 to the station house.
You bring proof of your insurance, and I'll take care of you.
- You got that? - I got it. I'll be there at 4:00. You got it, man.
- All right. Thank you for saving my head. - Hey, nothing to it. All right.
Hello. How are you today?
Nice. Nice. How's about you?
I am here to help you with all your banking needs. What would you like to do today-
get cash, make deposit, pay bill, cancel transaction?
Very nice of you to offer though.
Thank you. I'm very happy to serve you. Have a nice day.
Thank you. You too.
I mean it.
- Hello. How are you today? - I'm fine. How are you today?
I'm here to help you with all your banking needs.
Excuse me, Sarge.
Could you just toss me that pliers in the box there on the desk for a second?
- Hey, Phil? - Hmm?
It really helps when you get a little cooperation.
This William Teacher with the moving truck?
Computer just spit out a felony warrant on him.
The guy that saved Renko's head?
1976, A & B, Missouri warrant, Kansas City.
Oh, what a shame.
You know, a guy like that, I'd like to see him get a citizen's citation.
Pick up this guy, will you?
Yeah, sure, Sarge.
So how's Jill doing out there in fat-cat land?
Copacetic, man.
- She's out all the time, going here, going there. - Mm-hmm.
You know, I think, uh, she really needs all this time to herself.
Yeah. So, when's she make the cover of Ebony?
Hey, come on, man, would you? She's gonna be back in eight days.
Uh-huh.
- Hey, what's the weather like out there? - Hey, good, man. Good. Good.
You haven't even talked to her, have you, man?
Hey, hey, hey, hey. Man, now look, I don't- I don't know.
I mean, uh, the time differences.
You know, by the time you get it straightened out-
I call her up, her girlfriend says she's either in the shower-
Yeah, yeah. Sure, sure. And she doesn't return your calls, right?
Come on, man, she's pressuring you into marriage is what she's doing.
No, no. Now come on,J.D. It's not like that with me and Jill.
Oh, yeah, right. You're beyond all that petty possessive stuff, right?
- How'd you know? - ##
Hey, cut it out, man, would you?
Come on,J.D., cut it out.
William Teacher? We're police officers. We've got a warrant for your arrest.
Look, I told the man that- I said 4:00 I'd be coming in.
All right- Um...
Doreen, take these packages back upstairs for me, will you?
Let him go now. He didn't hurt nobody.
Hey, chuckmeat. Why don't you, uh, get back in your cellophane pack.
He ain't going no place.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Everything's cool. Everything's cool.
Just-Just parking tickets.
Listen, let me just say good-bye to my little ones and we can be on my way, okay?
Hugs and kisses all the way around, okay? Here we are.
Come on, just go in the house. All right. Give me a hug.
Give me a hug. Come on. Give me a big hug.
Take all these packages back upstairs and don't worry about a thing, okay?
I'll be calling you in an hour, all right?
Judas H., Frank, I'm disappointed as heck.
I thought we were gonna have a chance to sit down mano a mano...
and, you know, chew the emotional bacon, as it were.
- We'll chew it tomorrow, Howard. - No, let's just forget it.
Don't pout, Howard.
Aren't you hungry?
I'm all right. I just have a little indigestion. It's okay.
You're not gonna eat that?
Uh, ladies and gentlemen...
as you know we're not just here for the chicken à la rubber.
As all of you who paid your $25 are well aware.
I, uh- I'd liked to take a moment now...
to introduce to you a man of the people...
for the people...
and most of all, for the children.
Our friend, a member of the school board...
who in four short years...
has brought the paper-shufflers...
and backroom bigots of this city to heel.
A man dedicated to uplifting the poor.
A fighter, ladies and gentlemen.
May I, Hal Massey.
Hal, get up.
If I'm not off in 10 minutes...
somebody ring the bell for recess.
I really thank all of you for coming today.
And I would like to hit hard once again...
on the one thing that I think is important...
in mine or anyone else's election to this board two weeks from Thursday.
The administration in Washington...
has thrown down a gauntlet...
to, uh, local communities across the nation-
take care of your own.
Well, I propose that we do just that.
I know the wretched slums of our city...
like- like the back of my hand.
I know the most blameless...
of all ignorance comes from growing up on Jefferson Avenue.
- I know- - Judas Priest, he's bleeding all over the floor, Frank.
- Shh. Calm down. - I can't calm down about that, Frank.
- And I know something can be done with it. - Shh.
Something bold and compassionate...
and courageous.
And I just want to say one thing to all of you.
Boy, I'm not feeling very well.
Hal? Oh, Hal!
My God, he's dead.
- Did you see some of this stuff? - Yeah, I saw it.
Just don't pull that string.
What do you know about this stuff?
- I told you not to pull the string. - I didn't even touch it.
- I said not to pull it, that's all. - How do you stop it?
She's yours. Now she's yours.
Hey, how do you stop it?
All right, Joe.
- Hey! Hey, man! - Come on, you guys. Let's move it.
A man like that, tries to do things to help people?
- Young man, 52 years old. - Fifty-two?
What'd he fall in?
Uh, chipped beef, supposedly.
Uh-uh. Actually, I heard it was eggs Benedict, Henry.
- Eggs Benedict? You sure? - It's what I heard.
Oh, I think you're wrong, Ray. Eggs Benedict is more, uh, brunch menu.
- Yeah. - I've eaten it at lunch.
You're not a native to this country, Ray...
so don't pontificate about what a proper luncheon menu is at a function.
Chipped beef is not a proper menu anywhere.
Uh, gentlemen, I was there. It was beef Stroganoff.
- See? - By me, beef Stroganoff is not chipped beef.
Could we get some work done around here?
What, that thing in Kansas City? You got to bejivin', bro.
Some white dudes start throwing stuff around in the bar. One nearly kills Doreen.
What am I supposed to do, just sit there? Look, this isn't no Russia.
Hold it. Hey, Sarge. Sarge.
There's your William Teacher, Sarge. Tell you the truth, we think he's a pretty good dude.
Yeah, the guy's a saint, Sarge.
Francis, how's Fay?
For someone whose entire life has just come crashing in on her, she's okay.
- She's still at the hospital. - Shouldn't you have stayed with her?
She didn't want me, Phil.
You know, LaRue and Washington just picked up this William Teacher, the alleged fugitive.
Um, they'd like a few words with you.
You know, Francis, there seems to be some rather strong sentiment amongst the men that...
well, perhaps this is a situation that, uh, we don't want to be responsible for.
Also, did you look over the reports on theJerry Nash incident?
Why?
Well, it just seemed to me, shall we say, uh...
contrivance-wise.
Yeah. It seemed to me too.
Francis, can I get you some mocha java?
Yes. Please.
- Captain? - Yes,J.D.
- Uh, about that guy- - William Teacher?
Yeah. He's an okay dude, Captain. He kind of helped us out of a big jackpot today.
Why are you telling me this?
I thought you might want the information, Captain.
What difference does it make?
Made a big difference out on that street this afternoon, Captain.
Hey, look what some sadist did to your girlfriend.
Oh, no! Look what they done to Marlene.
I love you. I love you, Andy.
- I love you too, Marlene. You- - Bobby. Renko.
Say, Jerry, have you heard anything from Internal Affairs yet?
Uh, well, they're gonna go over the paperwork tomorrow morning.
Renko, I want you to know I really appreciate your covering for me on this.
Well, I wasn't covering for you, Nash. I was covering for my partner.
Right.
Excuse me, you two handsome leather devils.
What's up, son?
- You know that guy, Teacher? - Yeah, what about him?
- Had to pick him up. - It's about a warrant in Kansas City.
You picked him up? You mean he's in there? They got no couth around here.
That guy saved my skull this morning. He saved my skull.
- Yeah, mine too, lover. - Hey, hey. Get out of my way. You too, out of my way. Leo!
Hey, Leo, you holding a guy named Teacher?
I'm about to bust somebody's arm out their socket.
- Hey, man, I'm sorry. I'm real, real sorry. - Hey, bro.
Hey, come on, get him out of here, please.
Hey, look, they just come pick me up. Warrant five years old. Never were nothing to it.
If you done something wrong, you better tell me right now.
I got nothing to hide. Just help me get home to my kids.
You just better tell me right now. Get him out of here. Get him out of here.
Hey, Wash, uh, is everything okay with you and Jill?
Yeah, man, of course.
- Why wouldn't everything be okay with me and Jill, huh? - Well, I don't know.
Except, Denise and I were out at McHendrick's last night and ran intoJill and her girlfriend.
So, you know, I said, "How you doing, babe? What's happening?"
She turned around and practically ran out of the place.
Well, no wonder the chick acted weird, man. That wasn'tJill.
Wash, hey, man, how many times have we been out together?
- I know Jill. - Hey, Bobby, you may know Jill...
butJill happens to be in Los Angeles this week.
Has been since last week and will be till next week.
Wait a second. Are we talking about the same person?
Hey, you better get your eyes checked, Jack.
Ain't nothing wrong with my eyes, son. I know the woman when I see the woman.
Like hell you do, man.
All right. So she wasn't there.
Ain't no skin off my nose, babe.
Hey, you want to hear something really funny?
Guess you don't.
- Hello, Miss Thomas? Let me speak with Jill. - She's in Los Angeles.
Look, Miss Thomas, l-I know she's in town. Now let me- Now where is she?
It weren't no kind of case to begin with, $20 bail, you know?
And I had to keep going back to court so many times.
Seven, nine times, I lost my job.
Finally, I got a job here.
And, well, you know, I had the kids and all. I had to leave.
And them lawyers for the white boys kept saying to the judge...
"We're waiting for Mr. Green," by which they mean their money, see? Mr. Green.
And so that kept the case being postponed so many times...
and, well, that-that's what happened.
That was, what, about five years ago?
Yeah. Seems if they wanted me so much, they'd come and got me by now.
They probably don't want you much, Mr. Teacher, but you're facing a bail jump now.
I know. I know. That's why I say if you send me back, I'll lose my job again.
Mr. Teacher, I tell you what, I'm gonna go talk to my superior...
see if there's something I can do for you.
I'd- I'd really appreciate that, Officer.
I'm gonna get this guy off right now.
15. I want to try and get out ofhere.
- You should, Frank. - I'm gonna take care of this whole thing myself.
- Hi, Andy. - Lieutenant Call- Call- Calletano.
- Hello, Bobby. - Well, Captain, uh, yes.
We'd like to talk to you about something. Now, there's a guy-
- William Teacher? - William, yes.
Would you like to sit down?
- I'll stand. - Sure.
He helped you out.
- Yes. - He also helped out LaRue and Washington.
- Yes. - He's also wanted in Kansas City for assault and jumping bail.
Yes. Well, see, he didn't just help us out.
He stopped me from getting a-a-a pipe smashed across my cranium.
And, Captain, even allowing for 50% horse manure...
which in this particular case I don't think there's too much of it...
the guy seems like he's a hell of a person...
who's just been dealt a terrible hand.
That's interesting. LaRue says the same thing. What would you have me do, gentlemen?
Well, why don't you just- We'll just open up the-the jail cell door...
and let him take a walk out.
I mean, what about this, uh, discretion we hear about all the time?
From where I stand, the exercise of our discretion does not extend...
to giving individuals who happen to be nice to police officers...
special attention in direct violation of the law.
But, Captain, what about all the stuff that we let the snitches get away with?
When we deal with snitches, it's because we expect something in return.
Usually, in theory anyway, we catch a bigger fish.
And I guess that something in return is not equal to my skull, which, by the way...
from the amount I'm paid, I could have guessed that, I could have.
I'm sorry, gentlemen. It's by the book. We catch 'em, we don't cook 'em.
Uh, by the way, if you can scare up Bates and Coffey for me...
I'd like to talk to all four of you a little later about something.
About what, Captain?
Later, in the Interrogation Room, we'll talk.
Come on. Come on.
You think you could, um-
- Hi. - Hey, how you doing, Sheila?
Look, I got to talk to you aboutJill.
Nothing's wrong, is there? I mean, the girl doesn't call me at all.
Hey, look, forget it, Sheila. I spoke with Bobby Hill.
He saw you guys last night.
- What are you saying? Jill is in Los Angeles. - Mm-mmm.
- Spoke with her mama. She's not there, so she's got to be here. - Neal.
Sorry, Sheila.
Well, I guess I better go put the wash in the dryer.
Los Angeles?
- Look, Neal- - Look what?
What were you trying to pull anyway, huh?
- Well, I didn't go to Los Angeles. - I can see that.
I could have. I really could have, you know. The chance is there.
So instead, you hide.
- You lie. - Would you have been happier if I'd gone?
I just don't understand what you're trying to do, Jill.
Well...
I guess I just figured that you ought to have a sense...
of what your life would be like without me.
- It's about time, wouldn't you say? - Time for what?
Time for you to know, Neal, or at least think about it.
Have you been having a good time the last couple of weeks? How's your life been?
Neal, can you live without me?
That's a funny way to ask those questions.
Look, Neal, I am doing the best I can.
Now do I love you less for not going out there or more?
Now that's a funny way to show it.
I mean, you shamed me. You embarrassed me.
And that sure as hell is not my idea of helping a relationship.
- Have a nice day. - Thank you very much.
It's very kind and thoughtful of you.
Say, man, you got a quarter?
Hey, look here, brother, you know which wayJefferson Avenue is?
I sort of lost my way around here.
Joe, did you see the guy on the back of the van?
- Didn't you ever do that when you were a kid? - It was a rabbi.
A rabbi?
Open up, dogbreath! Police!
Slow it down, armpit, you're speeding!
Freeze!
I'm here to assist you with all your banking needs, hairball!
Spread 'em!
Move it, dogbreath.
Left turn. Left. Left!
Bates, Coffey, Captain wants to see you both in Interrogation right away.
Go on. I'll take over. Come on.
- I read your reports. - We got a problem here?
Maybe you should answer that.
Don't know what you mean, Captain.
Gentlemen, Lucy, I've been reading reports for 17 years.
I think I know the smell of a tuna by now.
Now let's just wait here a minute, Captain.
You see, this guy that Nash was involved with, he could have done anything.
- He's the scum of the Earth. - Is it plausible, I ask myself, that you, Andy...
saw Estaban resisting arrest in precisely the same manner...
that Bobby saw him resist arrest...
even though, calculating what you did with the other suspects down the hall...
you had to be at least 10 seconds behind Bobby arriving on the scene?
Is it plausible that you two saw absolutely nothing...
when you had to be arriving there just seconds behind Renko?
And is it plausible, Bobby...
that you sawJerry swing his baton only once...
when by your own admission you werejust steps behind him?
And Estaban sustained four broken ribs...
facial lacerations requiring 38 stitches and a severe concussion?
Come on!
People, if you don't fool me, you're sure as hell not gonna fool Internal Affairs.
They deal with this kind of thing every day.
I've known Jerry Nash longer than any of you, and I have to tell you this.
If I were in your place, I wouldn't do what you're doing in these reports.
Well, Captain, I think I might be way out of line...
but I got a real problem with this.
I mean, it seems like it's been going on all day.
First with this Teacher stuff and all, and now what you're saying aboutJerry Nash.
First thing that happens, we get ourselves a new friend...
or somebody we owe a debt of gratitude to, and that guy gets the shaft.
You know what I'm talking about, Captain? I'm talking about a little individual loyalty here.
I don't need lessons in loyalty from you, Renko. I have my loyalties.
They're to this department and to all of you.
But I won't be able to protect you should these reports turn out to be...
dubious.
So why don't you just talk it over among yourselves.
And if you decide to make some adjustments, have them on my desk within the hour.
Where's he been?
I'm sorry, Bobby. I'm not gonna go through with it.
- I can't either, Bobby. - So what happens toJerry Nash?
You can kiss his career good-bye, can't you?
Come on, Renko. So he gets a few black marks. What's the big deal?
The big deal is he's already got a few black marks against him down atJefferson Heights.
- That's the big deal. - So he's dirty. So maybe he gets what he deserves.
You know what? What you're saying is you're willing to throw a guy off a building...
'cause he spent about two or three months having a hard time at home...
and now finds some circumstances where anyone in their right mind...
would want to protect their own skull against the kind of person that-
- What about the victim's skull? - Why don't you just knock it off, all of you? Listen to us.
Cowboy, I'm the one who got us into this-
- Now you don't have to start that. - No, not you, me.
I appreciate what you're saying. I know you're saying it for me...
and I thank you for helping me out when I needed you.
But it's not gonna work.
I am not gonna let you two get hung out to dry on account of me.
So I'm gonna change my report, and I'm just sorry that I got you into it.
We wouldn't have done it in the first place, Bobby, if we didn't want to.
- I know. I know. - Bobby, you aren't perfect. At least you tried.
We're all trying, cowboy.
Well, anyway, I'm sorry.
You know what you saw. Just write the truth.
Neal, can we talk?
You back for good?
No more lies.
- Hey. - - What do you mean you don't have anything to wear, Ma?
You're not going to a debutante's ball, you're going on a cruise.
I know that. Luana will take you shopping, buy you a nice bikini.
A bikini? What am I, Brigitte Bardot?
- What's wrong with a bikini, Ma? - I don't want to wear a bikini.
Oh, Ma, please. Come on. You got a great little shape.
I haven't had a great little shape since I was young.
The city walked away from the table half hour ago.
I heard. It's gonna be a rough one, Phil.
The city doesn't have any money, we don't have any money.
Oh, Francis, uh, a couple of other matters.
On the subject of those discretionary arrests...
the ones alleged to be windchill related?
- Mm-hmm? - I spoke to the night officer.
There will be no more busts for littering or loitering...
though he can promise nothing of the more serious matter of, uh...
public urination.
I understand the night officer's concern.
Oh, also, uh, the night pouch.
Hill and the others are reconsidering their reports right now.
- What are they gonna say? - The truth, I presume. By the book.
You talk to Nash?
In the morning.
I'm sorry, Francis. I know you go way back with the guy.
Uh, what a day. What a day.
Oh, Phil, I almost forgot.
Regarding the extradition of alleged fugitive, William Teacher.
Next time you see Renko, tell him we never heard of William Teacher.
That my certificate of valor you're ripping up?
Francis, Jerry.
Frank, I don't know what you know or maybe what you figured about yesterday.
I went out on a limb for you, Jerry, and you sawed it off behind me.
- Well, if that's the way you want to look at it? - That's the way it is.
I'm gonna resign, Frank. I just wanted you to know.
I think that's wise.
I get my accounting degree in four months if I go to school full-time.
So I'm sending the kids back east to be with their grandmother.
I hope things work out for you, Jer.
Yeah?
Yeah, I know you do.
Well, I'll see you, Frank.
Phil, could you-
Oh, Joyce, give me a minute, would you, please?
Why don't you have a cup of coffee.
Would you get me Ron Linker in Internal Affairs, please?
Mrs. Furillo?
Yes?
We were never formally introduced.
My name's Joyce Davenport.
Oh, yes. My husband's mentioned you, of course.
I heard about your loss.
I can't tell you how sorry I am.
You know, when Frank and I were married...
the thing I feared most in life...
was the phone call in the middle of the night.
Or in the afternoon...
two cops coming to the door...
to tell me that my husband had been killed.
And, uh, it never went away.
During that whole time, never had any real peace or security.
And then, when we were divorced...
I thought, well, at least I don't have to worry about that anymore.
And then with Hal...
I thought I was gonna have it all.
Oh, God. I feel so frightened and alone.
