Hill Street Blues (1981–1987): Season 1, Episode 1 - Hill Street Station - full transcript
"Hill Street Station" introduces us to the many stories on the street, in the squad room, and in the homes of both the uniform and plainclothes officers at Hill Street. After Sargent Phil Esterhaus completes Roll Call, we begin to learn something of the regulars. John "J.D." LaRue goes out of his way to hit on Assistant DA Joyce Davenport. She's at the Hill and livid with Captain Frank Furillo and his Sargent's, who explain that they have "temporarily misplaced" the suspect she is supposed to have in court in just a few minutes. Meanwhile, while on patrol street cops Andy Renko and Bobby Hill stumble on a liquor store heist that ends in a hostage standoff. Clashes occur between Detective Henry Goldblume, who believes in negotiation and talking to suspects, and Lt. Howard Hunter, a gung-ho commander of a type of SWAT team on the Hill. Add to this mix gang leader Jesus Martinez whose gang members planned the robbery and tries to end it only to yell at his members, and Capt. Furillo finds only by showing up on the scene himself can he end the situation. Amongst this we meet Sgt. Mick Belker, a tough undercover cop who has a penchant for biting his suspects if they try to resist him in any way. Belker has his first run in of several with a pickpocket he picks up in the crowd at the liquor store holdup. Personal relationships are also introduced, when we meet Furillo's ex-wife Faye, who wants more child support, Esterhaus's new love interest, a high-school senior (he's in his 50's), and a secret love affair between Assistant DA Davenport and someone on the Hill. The episode ends with a cliffhanger when Hill and Renko, looking for a phone after their squad car is stolen while they respond to a domestic dispute, stumble onto kids using drugs who shoot the two officers and leave them for dead.
I NEED A RIDE HOME
LATER ON, OKAY?
SEE THAT DOOR OVER THERE?
ALL RIGHT. ITEM 14.
WE'VE STILL GOT A GANG OF
JUVENILES AT 119th STREET...
HITTIN' ON OLD PEOPLE, CASHING
SOCIAL SECURITY CHECKS.
SO, UH, HOW ABOUT LET'S
GIVE THAT SITUATION...
A LITTLE EXTRA EFFORT, HUH?
HEAR, HEAR!
ALL RIGHT. ITEM 15.
ITEM 15!
AT THIS POINT IN TIME, WE GOT
THE SAME PURSE SNATCHER...
WORKING WOLF FROM
THE PROJECTS ON SOUTH.
HE'S A MALE BLACK,
AGE APPROXIMATELY 30,
6'6" TALL, MEDIUM BUILD.
HE'S FURTHER DESCRIBED AS
WEARING A LONG BLOND WIG...
POWDER BLUE
COCKTAIL-TYPE DRESS...
GATHERED IN LITTLE
TUCKS AT THE WAIST.
AIN'T THAT SWEET?
GANG HOMICIDES.
WE HAD TWO LAST NIGHT.
THERE ARE GONNA BE REPRISALS.
YOU GOT ANYTHING TO
ADD TO THAT, LAMONICA?
YES, SARGE. LOOKS LIKE THE
124th STREET GANG DONE IT.
OH, PURE GENIUS, LAMONICA.
NO KIDDING! ALL
RIGHT, LAST ITEM.
LAST ITEM IS A DIRECTIVE FROM
DIVISIONAL COMMANDER SWANSON...
CONCERNING THE ALLEGED CARRYING OF
BIZARRE AND UNAUTHORIZED WEAPONS...
BY THE OFFICERS
OF THIS PRECINCT.
SAID OFFICERS ARE HEREBY WARNED TO
IMMEDIATELY SURRENDER SUCH WEAPONS...
TO THE CUSTODY OF THEIR SERGEANT
OR FACE DISCIPLINARY ACTION.
SAID WEAPONS
INSPECTION STARTS NOW!
ALL RIGHT, THAT'S
IT. LET'S ROLL.
HEY, LET'S BE CAREFUL OUT THERE.
SO SHE'S STANDING IN
HER APARTMENT IN HER
BATHROBE AND SHOWING
ME HER DRIVER'S LICENSE.
SHE SAYS, "RENKO, THE TIME HAS
COME. LET'S GET ON IT AND GET IT ON."
GET ON IT AND GET IT ON,
HUH? GET ON IT AND GET IT ON!
HEY, RENKO, HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
DID YOU GROW SOME RECENTLY?
NO, NO, IT'S MY BOOTS.
THEY MAKE ME TALL.
ACTUALLY, THEY'RE
YOUR BASIC DRESS BOOTS.
OH, THEY'RE NICE, RENKO. REAL NICE.
THEY MAKE YOU LOOK, UH, STRONG.
STRONGER THAN A
MARE'S BREATH, MY FRIEND.
OH, NO. NOW, DON'T
YOU BE DOIN' THAT TO ME!
YOU TELL THAT GIRL NEXT
TIME SHE COMES IN HERE...
TO HAVE SOME RESPECT
FOR AN OFFICER OF THE LAW.
YOU MOVE IT, HAIR BAG!
BELKER.
I SAID MOVE!
HEY, THIS IS A ROUT!
HE'S CRAZY! RIGHT
THIS WAY, LADIES.
YOUR ACCOMMODATIONS ARE
READY. SMOKING OR NONSMOKING?
DISPATCH. WE HAVE A 9-11.
ARMED ROBBERY IN PROGRESS.
SEE SURPLUS STORE, CORNER
PEOPLE'S DRIVE, 124th STREET.
I'M GLAD. WHOO!
WHAT? WHAT?
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
LET GO, MAN!
SHUT UP! OR I'M GONNA SEND
YOU ALL TO A PSYCHIATRIST.
YOU DIE, HUH!
LOOK AT THIS. YOU GOT THE
ADDRESS WRONG ON THEIR WARRANT.
CAPTAIN, WE NEVER SHOULD'VE
STOPPED DOING THESE IN PENCIL.
SO WHEN THE MAN UNDERSTANDABLY
OBJECTS TO BEING ARRESTED,
EARPS HERE HITS
HIM WITH A BOARD.
WE HAD TO, BOSS. WE
COULDN'T GET HIS ATTENTION.
GET HIM OUTTA HERE.
BUY HIM BREAKFAST.
TELL HIM WE OWE HIM ONE.
AND DON'T HURT HIM
ANYMORE. DON'T TOUCH HIM.
DON'T EVEN SHAKE HIS
HAND! I DON'T KNOW, PHIL.
WE ALL ERR, FRANCIS.
WHAT? GRADE SCHOOL AND
PRECINCT VISITATION PROGRAM?
SURE WE GOT ONE. WE'VE
HAD ONE UP HERE FOR YEARS.
TO INTERFACE WITH
THE POLICE EXPERIENCE.
I SEE.
YEAH, MA'AM...
YEAH, WELL, MA'AM? MA'AM,
WHY NOT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT?
I DOUBT THERE'S A
KID IN THIS DISTRICT...
WHO HASN'T INTERFACED
WITH THE POLICE EXPERIENCE.
INTERFACE.
OKAY, GORGEOUS, COME
ON. LET'S GO SAVE THE PUBLIC.
MM-HMM.
IT'S HER, MAN. SHE'S BACK.
UH-HUH.
ALL RIGHT, FURILLO. I WANT HIM AND I
WANT HIM NOW. WHERE IS HE? WHERE IS WHO?
RAY, WOULD YOU INSTRUCT THE
LADY TO PLEASE HAVE A SEAT OUTSIDE...
MY CLIENT IS DUE IN COURT IN
EXACTLY 45 MINUTES! NOW WHERE IS HE?
TEN-FOUR.
CARE FOR A LITTLE
WHILE YOU'RE WAITING?
SURE. WHY NOT.
CREAM IN YOUR
COFFEE? NO, THANK YOU.
I'M DETECTIVE JOHN LaRUE.
THAT'S NICE.
OH, MAY I?
OH, THOSE ARE BEAUTIFUL.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY'RE
WORTH BY THE OUNCE?
ARE YOU QUITE FINISHED?
NO, MA'AM.
I NEVER SEEM TO QUITE
FINISH FOR HOURS AND HOURS.
MISS DAVENPORT, THE
CAPTAIN WILL SEE YOU NOW.
ATTENTION, 115.
WELL, WHAT ABOUT IT? IS
HE HERE, OR IS HE OUT THERE?
LET'S NOT GET EXCITED.
WE'RE WORKING ON IT.
HOW'S THIS FOR LOGIC, FURILLO?
IF HE'S NOT HERE, AND IF HE'S
NOT ELSEWHERE, HE'S LOST.
WE DIDN'T SAY THAT, COUNSELOR.
NOT LOST PER SE. YOU LOST MY CLIENT.
MISPLACED IS MORE LIKE IT. LOOK, MS.
DAVENPORT, THE WAY IT LAYS OUT IS THIS.
- BESIDES BEING A PERVERT...
- ALLEGED PERVERT.
MR. THORPE, BECAUSE HE CONVINCED
THE DUTY OFFICER HE WAS CLAUSTROPHOBIC,
GOT TRANSFERRED
TO COUNTY MEDICAL.
I CALLED COUNTY MEDICAL.
HE'S NOT THERE EITHER.
NOW, THAT ISN'T
NECESSARILY TRUE.
A PRISONER MIGHT BE THERE OR MIGHT
NOT BE THERE, IN AN OFFICIAL SENSE...
FOR THAT MATTER, HE COULD BE
IN TRANSIT BETWEEN FACILITIES.
HE COULD'VE GOTTEN ON
THE WRONG BUS. THOSE
BUSES FROM COUNTY LOCKUP
ARE NOT LEGIBLY MARKED.
FRANCIS, WE OUGHTA INTERFACE
WITH COUNTY ON THAT ONE.
NEVER IN MY ENTIRE LIFE HAVE I
LISTENED TO SO MUCH INCOMPETENCE...
COVERED UP BY SO
MUCH UNMITIGATED CRAP!
AND DON'T THINK FOR
ONE MINUTE, FURILLO, THAT
THE COURT ISN'T GOING
TO HEAR ABOUT THIS.
BECAUSE, IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN,
YOU ARE SITTING IN CONTEMPT.
COUNSELOR, SUPPOSE
WE DRIVE OFF THAT BRIDGE
WHEN WE COME TO IT.
THAT'S SO TYPICALLY FASCIST!
NOW, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE US...
FIND MY CLIENT, FURILLO,
OR I SWEAR I'LL HAVE
YOU UP ON CHARGES.
MM, THAT YOUNG WOMAN HAS
A VERY HANDSOME CARRIAGE.
WITH 20 MORE POUNDS,
SHE WOULD BE PERFECT.
CALL AROUND, WILL YOU, RAY?
HUH? PUT A FLAG OUT ON HIM.
YOU'RE CRAZY, MAN!
HEY, GUYS, BREAK IT UP!

I GOT HIM! I GOT HIM!
HELP, HELP!
BREAK IT UP!

NO BITING, MICK. OKAY,
JUST KEEP HIM DOWN HERE.
- YOU PROMISED ME, CAPTAIN.
- TAKE IT EASY!
GET HIS LEGS!
TAKE IT EASY, MICK.
NO! NO, THAT'S NOT FAIR!
NO, IT'S NOT FAIR!
ALL RIGHT, TWO YEARS
AGO I BIT OFF A NOSE.
THAT'S ONE LOUSY NOSE!
I'M BRANDED FOR LIFE

DO YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW
WHAT I'M CALLED BEHIND MY BACK?
DO YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW!
TAKE IT EASY. TAKE IT EASY. NOBODY'S

WE'RE GONNA TAKE YOU TO THE HOSPITAL

DON'T THINK I DON'T KNOW WHO WAS COPPING

LET'S GO. LET'S GO. COME

HOLD RIGHT ONTO ME. THAT'S GOOD.
GET HIS HEAD. LUCY, GET HIS HEAD.

BAD SCENE. SORRY YOU

YOU CERTAINLY DID
YOUR PART TO HELP OUT.
I'M UNDERCOVER. HEY, LOOK,
THIS IS A WAR ZONE HERE, HUH?
COME ON. LET'S TALK ABOUT YOU.
WHAT ARE YOU LIKE WHEN
YOU, UH, LET YOUR HAIR DOWN?
MY HAIR IS DOWN.
YEAH, SHE'S A SPECIAL
WOMAN, COWBOY.
THEY ALL ARE FOR
THE FIRST SIX WEEKS.
YOU KNOW, HUH? YOU'VE NEVER
STUCK WITH ONE WOMAN FOR SIX HOURS.
WELL, THEY CAN'T HANDLE
ME ANY LONGER THAN THAT.
WHAT ABOUT THESE KIDS?
DON'T THAT BOTHER YOU?
WELL, I THOUGHT IT
MIGHT, BUT IT DOESN'T.
IT'S LIKE THEY'RE MY OWN.
WELL, I ALWAYS HATE TO SEE A
GOOD ANIMAL GET HIS SPIRIT BROKE.
UH-OH. LET'S HIT IT!
STAY DOWN THERE, RENKO!
ALL RIGHT, YOU BOYS IN THERE, NOW YOU
COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS HELD HIGH!
I DON'T THINK THEY HEARD
ME. GET THAT FEELING, DO YOU?
I SAID COME OUT!
MAMA BLESS ME!
IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE A HOSTAGE
SITUATION IN THAT LIQUOR STORE.
WE DON'T KNOW THAT YET, COMMANDER.
WE'RE STILL SEALING THE ZONE.

HOW OLD ARE YOU?

MAN, YOU'RE STUPID. YOU DON'T KNOW NOTHIN'!
KEEP THE FLOW OF
DIALOGUE. KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
MAYBE YOU CAN TELL ME
WHAT'S TROUBLING YOU.
WHAT'S TROUBLING ME, HUH? WELL,
WHAT'S TROUBLING ME IS YOU, CHUMP.
HOW THE HELL CAN I CREATE AN AMBIENCE
OF TRUST UNDER THESE CONDITIONS?
I DON'T LIKE THE TERM
EATer, FRANK. IT'S OFFENSIVE.
I WOULDN'T TAKE IT SO PERSONALLY,
HOWARD. IT'S MORE THAN THAT...
EMERGENCY ACTION TEAM TAKES TOO LONG
TO SAY. WHAT'S THE SCENARIO OUT THERE?
WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF PUERTO RICANS
HOLDING HOSTAGES IN A LIQUOR STORE...
IN THE 1800 BLOCK
OF DEKKER AVENUE.
WELL, JUST SAY THE
WORD, AND WE'LL DEPLOY.
I'M SENDING IN GOLDBLUME TO SEE IF WE CAN
OPEN COMMUNICATION, DIFFUSE THE SITUATION.
IT'S BY THE BOOK,
HOWARD. GOLDBLUME!
GOLDBLUME COULDN'T DIFFUSE
A ROLL OF KOSHER TOILET PAPER.
IF YOU GET MY THRUST. THAT'S NOT
NECESSARILY ACCURATE, HOWARD.
I'VE SEEN THE MAN WORK.
COULD I SAY SOMETHING HERE?
PHIL, RAY, DO YOU MIND? COULD I
HAVE THE FLOOR HERE FOR A SECOND?
HOWARD. PLEASE, FRANK. WE'RE
IN A DISCRETIONARY SITUATION.
I'D HATE TO HAVE IT SAID THAT WE
HAD THE MANPOWER AVAILABLE...
AND CHOSE TO UNDERREACT.
LET ME SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU.
YOU'VE GOT A DANGEROUS NUMBER OF
ENVIRONMENTALLY
HANDICAPPED TYPES OUT THERE.
TWO HOURS FROM NOW, THAT NUMBER'S
GONNA QUADRUPLE. WHAT'S YOUR POINT, HOWARD?
THE POINT IS THAT I WOULD LIKE FREE
REIGN TO NEUTRALIZE THAT LIQUOR STORE.
MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF IT.
DON'T HAMSTRING US, FRANK.
MY GUYS NEED THE VALIDATION.
DON'T GET SUCKED
INTO A RIOT SITUATION.
YOU'RE TOO NICE A GUY.
ALL RIGHT, GO DOWN
THERE. LOW PROFILE.
BUT I DON'T WANT YOU
TAKING ANYTHING INTO
YOUR OWN HANDS UNLESS
YOU GET A DIRECT ORDER.
YOU GOT THAT?
IT'S YOUR PRECINCT.
I APPRECIATE THAT, HOWARD.
IT'S A GUT CHECK, FRANK.
AND YOU WOULDN'T WANNA BE
ACCUSED OF HAVING A BUNCH OF DAISIES...
WHERE YOUR CINCH
BELT OUGHT TO BE.
WELL, WHY DON'T YOU GO DOWN
THERE AND TELL THOSE KIDS...
SIX MORE UNITS,
ROOFTOP SURVEILLANCE...
- I REALLY HATE YOU, FRANK!
- HELLO, FAY.
YOU KNOW, THIS PLACE
STINKS! IT MAKES ME NAUSEOUS.
YOU REMEMBER PHIL
ESTERHAUS AND RAY CALLETANO?
FRANK, THE CHECK BOUNCED.
WHAT? NOT ONLY THAT,
BUT YOU BROUGHT FRANK JR. HOME FROM THE
HOCKEY GAME LAST NIGHT WITH A 102 FEVER.
WHERE'S YOUR BRAINS? FAY, I'M
IN THE MIDDLE OF A CRISIS HERE.
YOU BET YOU ARE! MY CRISIS!
YOUR SON IS HOME SICK.
NOW I GOTTA GET SOMEONE TO
STAY WITH HIM SO I CAN GO TO WORK.
BUT BECAUSE YOUR LOUSY CHECK
BOUNCED HIGHER THAN A HANDBALL,
I CAN'T PAY THE SITTER!
I REALLY HATE YOUR GUTS, FRANK.
THIS MARRIAGE AND
EVERYTHING CONNECTED WITH IT...
HAS CAUSED ME NOTHING BUT GRIEF!
AND ON TOP OF THAT,
HARVEY SAYS FRANK JR.'s GOT SOME
SORT OF GENDER IDENTITY THING...
THAT HE'S GOT TO WORK THROUGH
BECAUSE HIS FATHER IS A COP!
HE'S GETTING INTO FIGHTS
IN SCHOOL BECAUSE OF IT.
AND EVERYTHING IS JUST LOUSY!
PHIL... AND IT IS ALL
YOUR LOUSY FAULT!
PHIL, WOULD YOU PLEASE TAKE FAY OUT TO THE
COFFEE BAR FOR JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES...
WHILE I COORDINATE A
FEW THINGS WITH RAY HERE.
FAY... THEN I'LL TAKE
CARE OF THE SITUATION.
I'M SORRY YOU HAD
TO WITNESS THAT.
NO SWEAT, MAN.
WE'VE ALL BEEN THERE.
EX-WIVES.
YEAH. EXCEPT SHE'S RIGHT.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE TAKEN
HIM TO THE HOCKEY GAME.
SOMETIMES I MISS
HIM SO MUCH, IT HURTS.
FAY, CREAM AND SUGAR?
HEY, HOW YOU BEEN, FAY?
GOOD. HOW ARE YOU, PHIL?
HOW'S, UM, MARGARET?
WELL, DIDN'T FRANK
TELL YOU? WE SPLIT UP.
I'M SORRY.
I'M... YOU GUYS WERE
MARRIED FOREVER.
TWENTY-THREE YEARS.
I'M REALLY SORRY, PHIL.
WELL, DON'T BE. TO TELL YOU THE
TRUTH, I'VE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER.
NOW, GRANTED, I HIT THE SKIDS
REAL HARD FOR A 10-MONTH PERIOD.
I MEAN, I CAME
CLOSE TO ENDING IT.
BUT THEN I MET CINDY, AND
OVERNIGHT MY LIFE TURNED AROUND.
OH, YEAH?
OH, THAT'S TERRIFIC.
I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT.
ARE YOU THINKING OF
GETTING REMARRIED?
AS SOON AS SHE GRADUATES.
SHE'S A COLLEGE STUDENT?
HIGH SCHOOL. SHE'S
A GRADUATING SENIOR.
COME ON! COME ON!

MOVE! MOVE!
YOU WANNA SIT DOWN THERE
BEFORE I KNOCK YOU DOWN?
HEY, I NEED A NURSE. THIS

WHY... WHY IS THAT
SUCH A BAD THING?
THE MAN IS 83, MA! WHO'S HE
GONNA HAVE AN AFFAIR WITH?
SO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'LL DO?
YOU'LL GO WITH HIM, AND YOU'LL
BE ABLE TO KEEP AN EYE ON HIM.
THAT'S SILLY, MA. YES, IT IS!

SUIT. YOU GOT A GREAT SHAPE...

THEY'D LIKE FOR YOU TO DO THAT.
I'LL CALL THE BANK.

THE TIME YOU GET THERE.
I PROMISE. AND WHAT ABOUT
THE SESSION WITH HARVEY?
I'D LOVE TO HAVE A SIT-DOWN WITH
YOU AND HARVEY ABOUT FRANK JR.
WHEN? I'LL CALL HIS OFFICE
AS SOON AS I CAN, FAY.
WHEN!
DON'T YOU THINK IT'S A
LITTLE UNPROFESSIONAL...
TO TAKE THE KID TO A
SHRINK AND THEN DATE HIM?
WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH THAT.
ARE YOU SLEEPING WITH HIM?
THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. I'M
CONCERNED ABOUT MY SON'S ENVIRONMENT.
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING
ABOUT YOUR SON'S ENVIRONMENT.

IT'S 4:00 NOW, RIGHT? MM-HMM.
BY THE TIME SHE
GETS HERE, IT'S 5:00.
BY THE TIME SHE FIGURES IT'S
A WILD GOOSE CHASE, IT'S 5:30.
SO SHE CHEWS OUT
FURILLO FOR 15 MINUTES.
THAT MAKES IT A QUARTER
TO 6:00. THEN IT'S TIME.
JOYCE, I'M... I'M SORRY
ABOUT THE MIX-UP.
I FEEL TERRIBLE.
HEY, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
LET ME MAKE IT UP TO YOU.
WE'LL SWING BY MY PLACE.
I'LL GET INTO SOME FRESH RAGS.
WE'LL GO OVER TO PIERRE'S
FOR DRINKS AND DINNER.
TELL YOU WHAT, SLICK.
IF SHE TURNS YOU DOWN...
MM-HMM? YOU CAN TAKE ME.
MA'AM, Y'ALL ARE GONNA HAVE TO OPEN
UP THIS DOOR, OR WE'RE GONNA BOOT IT IN.
BLOW THE DOOR? YEAH.
HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!
- NOBODY'S GONNA KILL ANYBODY!
- I WOULDN'T COUNT ON THAT!
ALL RIGHT, LADY. LOOK, HOW
ABOUT PUTTING DOWN THAT KNIFE...
AND LETTING HER COVER UP HER THIS AND THAT,
AND THEN WE CAN TALK ABOUT THE PROBLEM.
THE PROBLEM IS
HER THIS AND THAT!
HE SAID IF I DIDN'T,
HE'D BEAT ME!
I NEVER SAID THAT.
SHE ASKED FOR IT.
WHO IS THAT STANDING IN THERE?
THAT'S MY HUSBAND, WILLIAM.
IF HE COMES OUTTA THERE,
I'M GONNA CUT HIM TOO!
UH, BILL, I THINK YOU BETTER
STAY IN THERE FOR A MINUTE.
NOW, WHAT WE HAVE
HERE IS STATUTORY RAPE,
POSSESSION OF A DEADLY WEAPON,
INTENT TO USE A DEADLY WEAPON.
I THINK WE OUGHTA RUN 'EM
ALL IN. HOLD IT. HOLD IT, RENKO.
LOOK, IF YOU PUT DOWN THE
KNIFE, WE CAN WORK IT OUT.
OTHERWISE, I'M NOT GONNA BE ABLE
TO KEEP THIS WHITE MAN OFF OF YOU.
I'M COUNTIN' TO THREE. ONE.
TWO.
OKAY. OKAY, OKAY!
ALL RIGHT, HOLD IT!
OKAY, OKAY.
OKAY, WILLIAM, YOU CAN COME OUT.
YOU OKAY, MAMA?
DON'T YOU MAMA ME.
I'LL BREAK YOUR BACK.
- - HEY, HOLD IT! ARE
YOU THE GIRL'S FATHER?
OF COURSE NOT! WHAT KIND
OF MAN DO YOU THINK I AM?
YOU AIN'T NO KINDA MAN AT ALL!
THAT'S WHAT KINDA MAN YOU ARE!
SHE RUNS AROUND HALF-NAKED
ALL THE TIME! WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?
WELL, DON'T BLAME ME! I GOT TO SLEEP
ON THE COUCH. I GOT NOWHERE TO GO.
BESIDES, YOU'RE ALWAYS TALKIN' ABOUT
HOW MAMA DON'T GIVE YOU WHAT YOU NEED.
YOU SAID THAT?
WELL, YOU RUN HOT AND COLD
ON ME ALL THE TIME, WOMAN.
WILLIAM, I AM ON MY
FEET 10 HOURS A DAY!
- WELL, I WORK HARD TOO!
- OF COURSE YOU DO. YOU BOTH DO.
BUT THAT WON'T
SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
YOU GET THAT... THAT GIRL OUTTA
HERE, AND WE DON'T HAVE NO PROBLEM.
OH, YEAH? YOU BREAK UP THIS
FAMILY, AND YOU GOT NOTHING.
IS THAT WHAT YOU ALL WANT?
HUH? IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?
HIM IN JAIL, HER IN A
HOME, YOU WITH NOTHING?
OKAY, OKAY, THIS IS
THE LAW FOR THIS HOUSE!
WILLIAM, WHEN YOU'RE IN THE HOUSE
ALONE, YOU STAY AWAY FROM HER!
YOU UNDERSTAND? YOU DON'T
COHABIT WITH YOUR STEPDAUGHTER!
IT AIN'T NO HABIT. WE
ONLY DONE IT ONCE!
- THAT'S NOT TRUE!
- YOU MEAN TO TELL ME...
SHUT UP! AND YOU, LITTLE LADY,
WHEN YOU'RE IN THE BATHROOM CHANGING
YOUR CLOTHES, YOU KEEP THE DOOR SHUT.
MAMA, MAMA, YOU GOTTA MAKE
YOURSELF MORE AVAILABLE TO WILLIAM.
ALL HE WANTS IS A LITTLE
ATTENTION FROM HIS WOMAN.
WILLIAM, YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU.
YOU GOTTA SHOW IT MORE, MAMA.
OKAY, THIS IS THE LAW.
YOU ALL TAKE CARE
NOW, ALL RIGHT?
LET'S GO, RENKO.
ALL RIGHT, PEOPLE, YOU MIND YOUR
OWN BUSINESS NOW AND GO HOME.
AS LONG AS I LIVE, I'LL NEVER
UNDERSTAND PEOPLE LIKE THIS. SAY WHAT?
THAT'S ONE OF THEM LOCAL
COLLOQUIALISMS, ISN'T IT?
"SAY WHAT?" WHAT
IS IT? SAY WHAT?
YOU'RE JUST PASSIN' THEM LAWS
OUT RIGHT AND LEFT, AIN'T YOU, JUDGE?
THAT I DO, SON. THAT I DO.
THE CAR! OH, MA,
THEY STOLE MY CAR.
THAT'S A BRAND-NEW
UNIT. SECOND ONE TODAY.
I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHIN'.
IF I HAVE TO SHOOT UP THIS WHOLE
STREET, I'M GONNA GET THAT CAR BACK.
AIN'T NO WAY I'M GONNA FILE
A REPORT ON THIS. OKAY, OKAY.
NO WAY AT ALL! TAKE IT EASY. WE
DON'T WANNA COLLECT A CROWD.
A CROWD? A CROWD!
WELL, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT
I WANT TO DO IS COLLECT...
RENKO, WE LOSE TWO OR THREE CARS
EVERY MONTH. DON'T YOU RENKO ME.
WHEN THEY PARK 'EM,
THEY LEAVE 'EM. NO BIG DEAL.
IT'S A BIG DEAL TO ME. SECOND UNIT TODAY,
BRAND-NEW UNIT. ESTERHAUS IS GONNA KILL ME!
RENKO, SHUT UP! NOW WE HAVE
NO CAR, AND WE HAVE NO RADIO, MAN.
SO LET'S JUST BE COOL. LET'S
JUST CALL IN AND GET ANOTHER UNIT.
DEAD PHONE! LOOK AT THIS MESS!
LOOK AT THIS!
HEY, MAN, THE WORLD'S
FULL OF PHONES, MAN.
LOTS OF PHONES.
LET'S GO FIND ONE.
DON'T YOU SQUINNY YOUR
EYES AT ME LIKE THAT!
I'M A PEACE OFFICER, AND I WANT
YOU OFF THIS STREET WHEN I GET BACK!
AND I MEAN IT!
I'M SO TIRED OF DEALING WITH PEOPLE
LIKE THIS EVERY SINGLE DAY OF MY LIFE.
- HEY, MAN! GET OUTTA HERE!
- COME ON! MOVE!
JUST DISPERSE, PLEASE.
NOTHING'S GONNA HAPPEN HERE.
FOLKS, WE'D LIKE TO GET YOUR COOPERATION
HERE. STAND BEHIND THE BARRICADES.
GET THOSE HELICOPTERS OUTTA
HERE. I CAN'T HEAR MYSELF THINK.
FRANK, I WANNA MAKE A
STATEMENT FOR THE RECORD.
GET OUTTA HERE. CAN
YOU HEAR ME, FRANK?
NO. GET 'EM OUTTA HERE NOW.
FRANK! PUT THAT SHOTGUN
DOWN. GET IT OUT OF SIGHT.
HOLSTER THOSE
WEAPONS. THAT'S AN ORDER.
PUT 'EM AWAY, NOW!
GIVE ME THAT. GIVE IT TO ME!
YOU IN THE LIQUOR STORE! HECTOR!
THIS IS CAPTAIN FURILLO.
FIRST THING I WANT YOU TO DO IS
ACKNOWLEDGE YOU CAN HEAR ME.
TOSS SOMETHING OUT THE DOOR.
FOLKS, WE CAN'T HAVE
YOU STANDING IN THIS AREA.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE
TO MOVE YOU ON BACK.
OH, MY GOD.
OKAY, WELL DONE, HECTOR.
NOW, I'M GONNA COME OVER TO
YOUR SIDE OF THE STREET NOW.
ARE YOU STILL LISTENING, HECTOR?
PULL THOSE HELICOPTERS OUTTA
HERE! WE CAN'T HEAR! WHAT?
CAN I GET A COUPLE OF OFFICERS
OVER HERE TO MOVE THESE PEOPLE.
I'M GONNA COME
AS FAR AS THE CURB.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS OPEN
THE DOOR A LITTLE SO WE CAN RAP.
HECTOR...
JUST TAKE THOSE
HELICOPTERS OUTTA HERE!
HECTOR! ABAJO!
FRANK, FRANK, TAKE A
VALIUM. ALL RIGHT, PEOPLE.
YOU RUIN MY BUSINESS! YOU CRAZY!
BETTER THE KIDS!
I WANNA RUN A CHECK ON
THAT MAN'S IMMIGRATION STATUS.
GET AWAY FROM THERE!
GET AWAY FROM THERE!
MOVE IT OUT! COME ON!
NO, I'M SORRY, COUNSELOR.
THERE MUST BE SOME MISTAKE.
YOUR CLIENT'S NOT HERE.
WHO SAID WE FOUND HIM?
NEVER MIND, SERGEANT.
YOU'RE A REAL CUTE GUY, LaRUE.
I MEAN, WHAT ELSE DO I HAVE TO
DO WITH MY TIME BESIDES WASTE IT?
YOU KNOW, ON FIRST
INSTINCT, I GOT ANGRY.
THEN ON SECOND INSTINCT, I
THOUGHT OF FILING CHARGES.
REALLY.
I JUST WANNA BE WITH YOU
TONIGHT, BABE. THAT'S ALL.
YOU DO, HUH?
BECAUSE UNDERNEATH IT ALL, YOU'RE
JUST A LONELY GUY IN A DANGEROUS JOB.
WHO AM I TO ARGUE WITH THAT?
I'M SORRY. DON'T BE.
WHEN I THOUGHT ABOUT
IT, I TRIED TO CALL YOU BACK.
I JUST COULDN'T GET THROUGH
TO YOUR SWITCHBOARD.
YEAH, THAT'S THE PROBLEM
WITH MY SWITCHBOARD.
NO HARD FEELINGS, LaRUE.
YOU CAN SEND ME
THE CLEANING BILL.
AH.
YOUR PLACE OR MINE, BABE?
YOUR PRISONER TURN
UP YET, COUNSELOR?
WHAT'S WITH HER?
I DON'T APPROVE OF
WHAT YOU DID, FRANCIS.
OFF THE RECORD, YOU PROMISED ME YOU'D
BE CAREFUL OUT THERE, BUT YOU WEREN'T.
THAT GOES DOUBLE FOR ME, FRANK.
YOU THINK YOU'RE STILL
A KID OR SOMETHING?
YOU GOT 40 PHONE CALLS HERE.
TWENTY-FIVE OF 'EM
ARE FROM YOUR WIFE.
WE CAN'T RAISE HILL OR RENKO.
I SENT BELKER AND LAMONICA
OUT TO LOOK FOR 'EM.
GO HOME, FRANCIS. YOU
LOOK BEAT. LET ME SHOPKEEP.
CINDY'S GOT MARCHING
BAND PRACTICE TILL 10:00.
I THINK I MIGHT JUST DO THAT.
REACTIONARY, FASCISTIC,
HIGH-HANDED, UNCARING ANIMALS!
KILL, BEAT, INTIMIDATE,
VIOLATE EACH AND EVERY
CONSTITUTIONAL GUARANTEE.
DISPENSE CURBSIDE
JUSTICE. HMM. UH-UH. NO, SIR.
THE PROBLEM IS NOT IN
THE PEOPLE IN THAT GHETTO.
IT'S IN ITS NAZI
OCCUPATION FORCE.
VICIOUS, UGLY.
THERE IS NOT A COP UP THERE
WHO SHOULDN'T BE PROSECUTED.
I SWEAR I HAVE SEEN
MORE BRUTALITY...
AND BRAZEN CONTEMPT
FOR THE LAW...
TO OPEN UP A GRAND
JURY INVESTIGATION.
I MEAN IT.
AH. MM.
FEEL BETTER?
I'M GETTING THERE.
I TOOK HALF A VALIUM.
YOU... CARE TO BE THE, UH...
THE OTHER HALF?
MM-HMM. HMM?
HMM? MM.
FURILLO, YOUR PANTS ARE BUZZING.
YEAH, YEAH. OKAY.
IT'S FURILLO. IT'S
HILL AND RENKO.
THEY'RE BOTH IN INTENSIVE CARE.
I WON'T LIE TO YOU, FRANCIS.
IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WENT DOWN.
FRANK?
LATER ON, OKAY?
SEE THAT DOOR OVER THERE?
ALL RIGHT. ITEM 14.
WE'VE STILL GOT A GANG OF
JUVENILES AT 119th STREET...
HITTIN' ON OLD PEOPLE, CASHING
SOCIAL SECURITY CHECKS.
SO, UH, HOW ABOUT LET'S
GIVE THAT SITUATION...
A LITTLE EXTRA EFFORT, HUH?
HEAR, HEAR!
ALL RIGHT. ITEM 15.
ITEM 15!
AT THIS POINT IN TIME, WE GOT
THE SAME PURSE SNATCHER...
WORKING WOLF FROM
THE PROJECTS ON SOUTH.
HE'S A MALE BLACK,
AGE APPROXIMATELY 30,
6'6" TALL, MEDIUM BUILD.
HE'S FURTHER DESCRIBED AS
WEARING A LONG BLOND WIG...
POWDER BLUE
COCKTAIL-TYPE DRESS...
GATHERED IN LITTLE
TUCKS AT THE WAIST.
AIN'T THAT SWEET?
GANG HOMICIDES.
WE HAD TWO LAST NIGHT.
THERE ARE GONNA BE REPRISALS.
YOU GOT ANYTHING TO
ADD TO THAT, LAMONICA?
YES, SARGE. LOOKS LIKE THE
124th STREET GANG DONE IT.
OH, PURE GENIUS, LAMONICA.
NO KIDDING! ALL
RIGHT, LAST ITEM.
LAST ITEM IS A DIRECTIVE FROM
DIVISIONAL COMMANDER SWANSON...
CONCERNING THE ALLEGED CARRYING OF
BIZARRE AND UNAUTHORIZED WEAPONS...
BY THE OFFICERS
OF THIS PRECINCT.
SAID OFFICERS ARE HEREBY WARNED TO
IMMEDIATELY SURRENDER SUCH WEAPONS...
TO THE CUSTODY OF THEIR SERGEANT
OR FACE DISCIPLINARY ACTION.
SAID WEAPONS
INSPECTION STARTS NOW!
ALL RIGHT, THAT'S
IT. LET'S ROLL.
HEY, LET'S BE CAREFUL OUT THERE.
SO SHE'S STANDING IN
HER APARTMENT IN HER
BATHROBE AND SHOWING
ME HER DRIVER'S LICENSE.
SHE SAYS, "RENKO, THE TIME HAS
COME. LET'S GET ON IT AND GET IT ON."
GET ON IT AND GET IT ON,
HUH? GET ON IT AND GET IT ON!
HEY, RENKO, HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
DID YOU GROW SOME RECENTLY?
NO, NO, IT'S MY BOOTS.
THEY MAKE ME TALL.
ACTUALLY, THEY'RE
YOUR BASIC DRESS BOOTS.
OH, THEY'RE NICE, RENKO. REAL NICE.
THEY MAKE YOU LOOK, UH, STRONG.
STRONGER THAN A
MARE'S BREATH, MY FRIEND.
OH, NO. NOW, DON'T
YOU BE DOIN' THAT TO ME!
YOU TELL THAT GIRL NEXT
TIME SHE COMES IN HERE...
TO HAVE SOME RESPECT
FOR AN OFFICER OF THE LAW.
YOU MOVE IT, HAIR BAG!
BELKER.
I SAID MOVE!
HEY, THIS IS A ROUT!
HE'S CRAZY! RIGHT
THIS WAY, LADIES.
YOUR ACCOMMODATIONS ARE
READY. SMOKING OR NONSMOKING?
DISPATCH. WE HAVE A 9-11.
ARMED ROBBERY IN PROGRESS.
SEE SURPLUS STORE, CORNER
PEOPLE'S DRIVE, 124th STREET.
I'M GLAD. WHOO!
WHAT? WHAT?
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
LET GO, MAN!
SHUT UP! OR I'M GONNA SEND
YOU ALL TO A PSYCHIATRIST.
YOU DIE, HUH!
LOOK AT THIS. YOU GOT THE
ADDRESS WRONG ON THEIR WARRANT.
CAPTAIN, WE NEVER SHOULD'VE
STOPPED DOING THESE IN PENCIL.
SO WHEN THE MAN UNDERSTANDABLY
OBJECTS TO BEING ARRESTED,
EARPS HERE HITS
HIM WITH A BOARD.
WE HAD TO, BOSS. WE
COULDN'T GET HIS ATTENTION.
GET HIM OUTTA HERE.
BUY HIM BREAKFAST.
TELL HIM WE OWE HIM ONE.
AND DON'T HURT HIM
ANYMORE. DON'T TOUCH HIM.
DON'T EVEN SHAKE HIS
HAND! I DON'T KNOW, PHIL.
WE ALL ERR, FRANCIS.
WHAT? GRADE SCHOOL AND
PRECINCT VISITATION PROGRAM?
SURE WE GOT ONE. WE'VE
HAD ONE UP HERE FOR YEARS.
TO INTERFACE WITH
THE POLICE EXPERIENCE.
I SEE.
YEAH, MA'AM...
YEAH, WELL, MA'AM? MA'AM,
WHY NOT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT?
I DOUBT THERE'S A
KID IN THIS DISTRICT...
WHO HASN'T INTERFACED
WITH THE POLICE EXPERIENCE.
INTERFACE.
OKAY, GORGEOUS, COME
ON. LET'S GO SAVE THE PUBLIC.
MM-HMM.
IT'S HER, MAN. SHE'S BACK.
UH-HUH.
ALL RIGHT, FURILLO. I WANT HIM AND I
WANT HIM NOW. WHERE IS HE? WHERE IS WHO?
RAY, WOULD YOU INSTRUCT THE
LADY TO PLEASE HAVE A SEAT OUTSIDE...
MY CLIENT IS DUE IN COURT IN
EXACTLY 45 MINUTES! NOW WHERE IS HE?
TEN-FOUR.
CARE FOR A LITTLE
WHILE YOU'RE WAITING?
SURE. WHY NOT.
CREAM IN YOUR
COFFEE? NO, THANK YOU.
I'M DETECTIVE JOHN LaRUE.
THAT'S NICE.
OH, MAY I?
OH, THOSE ARE BEAUTIFUL.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY'RE
WORTH BY THE OUNCE?
ARE YOU QUITE FINISHED?
NO, MA'AM.
I NEVER SEEM TO QUITE
FINISH FOR HOURS AND HOURS.
MISS DAVENPORT, THE
CAPTAIN WILL SEE YOU NOW.
ATTENTION, 115.
WELL, WHAT ABOUT IT? IS
HE HERE, OR IS HE OUT THERE?
LET'S NOT GET EXCITED.
WE'RE WORKING ON IT.
HOW'S THIS FOR LOGIC, FURILLO?
IF HE'S NOT HERE, AND IF HE'S
NOT ELSEWHERE, HE'S LOST.
WE DIDN'T SAY THAT, COUNSELOR.
NOT LOST PER SE. YOU LOST MY CLIENT.
MISPLACED IS MORE LIKE IT. LOOK, MS.
DAVENPORT, THE WAY IT LAYS OUT IS THIS.
- BESIDES BEING A PERVERT...
- ALLEGED PERVERT.
MR. THORPE, BECAUSE HE CONVINCED
THE DUTY OFFICER HE WAS CLAUSTROPHOBIC,
GOT TRANSFERRED
TO COUNTY MEDICAL.
I CALLED COUNTY MEDICAL.
HE'S NOT THERE EITHER.
NOW, THAT ISN'T
NECESSARILY TRUE.
A PRISONER MIGHT BE THERE OR MIGHT
NOT BE THERE, IN AN OFFICIAL SENSE...
FOR THAT MATTER, HE COULD BE
IN TRANSIT BETWEEN FACILITIES.
HE COULD'VE GOTTEN ON
THE WRONG BUS. THOSE
BUSES FROM COUNTY LOCKUP
ARE NOT LEGIBLY MARKED.
FRANCIS, WE OUGHTA INTERFACE
WITH COUNTY ON THAT ONE.
NEVER IN MY ENTIRE LIFE HAVE I
LISTENED TO SO MUCH INCOMPETENCE...
COVERED UP BY SO
MUCH UNMITIGATED CRAP!
AND DON'T THINK FOR
ONE MINUTE, FURILLO, THAT
THE COURT ISN'T GOING
TO HEAR ABOUT THIS.
BECAUSE, IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN,
YOU ARE SITTING IN CONTEMPT.
COUNSELOR, SUPPOSE
WE DRIVE OFF THAT BRIDGE
WHEN WE COME TO IT.
THAT'S SO TYPICALLY FASCIST!
NOW, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE US...
FIND MY CLIENT, FURILLO,
OR I SWEAR I'LL HAVE
YOU UP ON CHARGES.
MM, THAT YOUNG WOMAN HAS
A VERY HANDSOME CARRIAGE.
WITH 20 MORE POUNDS,
SHE WOULD BE PERFECT.
CALL AROUND, WILL YOU, RAY?
HUH? PUT A FLAG OUT ON HIM.
YOU'RE CRAZY, MAN!
HEY, GUYS, BREAK IT UP!
SOMEBODY GET THIS GUY!
I GOT HIM! I GOT HIM!
HELP, HELP!
BREAK IT UP!
- I GOT YA!
- DON'T DO IT! NO BITING!
NO BITING, MICK. OKAY,
JUST KEEP HIM DOWN HERE.
- YOU PROMISED ME, CAPTAIN.
- TAKE IT EASY!
GET HIS LEGS!
TAKE IT EASY, MICK.
NO! NO, THAT'S NOT FAIR!
NO, IT'S NOT FAIR!
ALL RIGHT, TWO YEARS
AGO I BIT OFF A NOSE.
THAT'S ONE LOUSY NOSE!
I'M BRANDED FOR LIFE
HERE! "BELKER THE BITER."
DO YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW
WHAT I'M CALLED BEHIND MY BACK?
DO YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW!
TAKE IT EASY. TAKE IT EASY. NOBODY'S
GONNA HURT YOU. YA HEAR ME?
WE'RE GONNA TAKE YOU TO THE HOSPITAL
NOW. DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING?
DON'T THINK I DON'T KNOW WHO WAS COPPING
THE CHEAP FEEL DURING THE FIGHT, HUH?
LET'S GO. LET'S GO. COME
ON, BABY. YOU'RE OKAY.
YOU'RE OKAY, KID. HOLD
ONTO ME. I GOT HIM BACK HERE.
HOLD RIGHT ONTO ME. THAT'S GOOD.
GET HIS HEAD. LUCY, GET HIS HEAD.
CAN WE MAKE SOME ROOM
HERE? COMIN' THROUGH HERE NOW.
BAD SCENE. SORRY YOU
HAD TO SEE IT COME DOWN.
YOU CERTAINLY DID
YOUR PART TO HELP OUT.
I'M UNDERCOVER. HEY, LOOK,
THIS IS A WAR ZONE HERE, HUH?
COME ON. LET'S TALK ABOUT YOU.
WHAT ARE YOU LIKE WHEN
YOU, UH, LET YOUR HAIR DOWN?
MY HAIR IS DOWN.
YEAH, SHE'S A SPECIAL
WOMAN, COWBOY.
THEY ALL ARE FOR
THE FIRST SIX WEEKS.
YOU KNOW, HUH? YOU'VE NEVER
STUCK WITH ONE WOMAN FOR SIX HOURS.
WELL, THEY CAN'T HANDLE
ME ANY LONGER THAN THAT.
WHAT ABOUT THESE KIDS?
DON'T THAT BOTHER YOU?
WELL, I THOUGHT IT
MIGHT, BUT IT DOESN'T.
IT'S LIKE THEY'RE MY OWN.
WELL, I ALWAYS HATE TO SEE A
GOOD ANIMAL GET HIS SPIRIT BROKE.
UH-OH. LET'S HIT IT!
STAY DOWN THERE, RENKO!
ALL RIGHT, YOU BOYS IN THERE, NOW YOU
COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS HELD HIGH!
I DON'T THINK THEY HEARD
ME. GET THAT FEELING, DO YOU?
I SAID COME OUT!
MAMA BLESS ME!
IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE A HOSTAGE
SITUATION IN THAT LIQUOR STORE.
WE DON'T KNOW THAT YET, COMMANDER.
WE'RE STILL SEALING THE ZONE.
AND WE WON'T KNOW THAT UNTIL WE'VE
INTERFACED WITH THE PERPETRATORS.
I DON'T WANT ANYBODY OUT HERE!
HELLO, OPERATOR? THIS IS DETECTIVE
HENRY GOLDBLUME, HILL STREET STATION.
WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY
SITUATION HERE.
WOULD YOU PLEASE...
PLEASE BREAK INTO 555-7683...
AND TELL 'EM THAT THIS IS
A POLICE PRIORITY CALL...
AND WOULD THEY PLEASE
RELINQUISH THE PHONE. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?
YEAH? YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO
HANG UP, AND HE'LL CALL YOU BACK.
THANK YOU.
YEAH? YES, THAT'LL BE...
HOW MUCH? TEN CENTS.
ARE YOU TEETHING, OR ARE
YOU JUST STOPPING SMOKING?
MY TWO-YEAR-OLD
IS STOPPING SMOKING.
THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.
THIS IS HILL STREET. WE
NEED A STATUS REPORT. OVER.
YEAH, WE GOT SIX UNITS
ON THE SCENE NOW,
BUT WE'RE GONNA NEED
SOME CROWD CONTROL.
WE GOT ABOUT A HUNDRED
PEOPLE OUT HERE ALREADY.
SAY, WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THAT HOSTAGE
SQUAD? WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR? OVER.
ON THEIR WAY. ALL RIGHT.
TEN-FOUR.
HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, HAIRY!
MOVE IT BACK!
LISTEN, LOVER, LET'S
GET OUTTA HERE...
BEFORE EVERY DEALER IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD SEES US, HMM?
ANY LUCK GETTING THROUGH?
THEY'RE TALKING TO THE MEDIA.
THEY WON'T GET OFF THE PHONE.
IT'S A ZOO OUT THERE. CROWD'S
GETTIN' BIGGER. PEOPLE EVERYWHERE.
- WE'RE GONNA HAVE A WRECK.
- NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
- YEAH? DETECTIVE GOLDBLUME.
- WHAT'S THE DEAL, HUH?
YOU DON'T COME BUSTIN'
INTO MY LINE. YOU DIG?
I BEEN TALKIN' TO THE MEDIA, YOU KNOW,
AND THEY KNOW WHAT'S GOIN' DOWN HERE.
SO YOU DON'T TRY AND JERK
ME AROUND, YOU UNDERSTAND?
'CAUSE I'M NEGOTIATING
THE RIGHTS TO MY LIFE STORY.
YEAH, OKAY. JUST TALK TO ME AND
WE'LL SORT THIS THING OUT, SON.
- CALL ME HENRY. WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
- WHY?
- YOU WANNA TAKE ME OUT
ON A DATE?
- HOW OLD ARE YOU?
I CAN'T HEAR YOU.
THERE'S TOO MUCH STATIC
ON THIS LINE. YOU GOTTA
TALK UP LOUDER, MAN.
HOW OLD ARE YOU?
LISTEN, SON, NOBODY'S
BEEN HURT YET,
SO IF YOU COME OUT RIGHT NOW,
WE CAN GO SOMEWHERE AND TALK.
MAN, THE HELL WITH THAT. YOU JUST GET ME
JESUS MARTINEZ ON THIS PHONE NOW! YOU DIG?
WHO'S JESUS MARTINEZ? HE'S TALKING
ABOUT THE WARLORD OF LOS DIABLOS.
- FIND HIM.
- COME ON, MAN. DON'T GIVE ME THAT.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHO
JESUS MARTINEZ IS?
MEANTIME, KEEP THIS LINE OPEN. DAMN,
MAN, YOU'RE STUPID. YOU DON'T KNOW NOTHIN'!
KEEP THE FLOW OF
DIALOGUE. KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
MAYBE YOU CAN TELL ME
WHAT'S TROUBLING YOU.
WHAT'S TROUBLING ME, HUH? WELL,
WHAT'S TROUBLING ME IS YOU, CHUMP.
HOW THE HELL CAN I CREATE AN AMBIENCE
OF TRUST UNDER THESE CONDITIONS?
I DON'T LIKE THE TERM
EATer, FRANK. IT'S OFFENSIVE.
I WOULDN'T TAKE IT SO PERSONALLY,
HOWARD. IT'S MORE THAN THAT...
EMERGENCY ACTION TEAM TAKES TOO LONG
TO SAY. WHAT'S THE SCENARIO OUT THERE?
WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF PUERTO RICANS
HOLDING HOSTAGES IN A LIQUOR STORE...
IN THE 1800 BLOCK
OF DEKKER AVENUE.
WELL, JUST SAY THE
WORD, AND WE'LL DEPLOY.
I'M SENDING IN GOLDBLUME TO SEE IF WE CAN
OPEN COMMUNICATION, DIFFUSE THE SITUATION.
IT'S BY THE BOOK,
HOWARD. GOLDBLUME!
GOLDBLUME COULDN'T DIFFUSE
A ROLL OF KOSHER TOILET PAPER.
IF YOU GET MY THRUST. THAT'S NOT
NECESSARILY ACCURATE, HOWARD.
I'VE SEEN THE MAN WORK.
COULD I SAY SOMETHING HERE?
PHIL, RAY, DO YOU MIND? COULD I
HAVE THE FLOOR HERE FOR A SECOND?
HOWARD. PLEASE, FRANK. WE'RE
IN A DISCRETIONARY SITUATION.
I'D HATE TO HAVE IT SAID THAT WE
HAD THE MANPOWER AVAILABLE...
AND CHOSE TO UNDERREACT.
LET ME SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU.
YOU'VE GOT A DANGEROUS NUMBER OF
ENVIRONMENTALLY
HANDICAPPED TYPES OUT THERE.
TWO HOURS FROM NOW, THAT NUMBER'S
GONNA QUADRUPLE. WHAT'S YOUR POINT, HOWARD?
THE POINT IS THAT I WOULD LIKE FREE
REIGN TO NEUTRALIZE THAT LIQUOR STORE.
MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF IT.
DON'T HAMSTRING US, FRANK.
MY GUYS NEED THE VALIDATION.
DON'T GET SUCKED
INTO A RIOT SITUATION.
YOU'RE TOO NICE A GUY.
ALL RIGHT, GO DOWN
THERE. LOW PROFILE.
BUT I DON'T WANT YOU
TAKING ANYTHING INTO
YOUR OWN HANDS UNLESS
YOU GET A DIRECT ORDER.
YOU GOT THAT?
IT'S YOUR PRECINCT.
I APPRECIATE THAT, HOWARD.
IT'S A GUT CHECK, FRANK.
AND YOU WOULDN'T WANNA BE
ACCUSED OF HAVING A BUNCH OF DAISIES...
WHERE YOUR CINCH
BELT OUGHT TO BE.
WELL, WHY DON'T YOU GO DOWN
THERE AND TELL THOSE KIDS...
SIX MORE UNITS,
ROOFTOP SURVEILLANCE...
- I REALLY HATE YOU, FRANK!
- HELLO, FAY.
YOU KNOW, THIS PLACE
STINKS! IT MAKES ME NAUSEOUS.
YOU REMEMBER PHIL
ESTERHAUS AND RAY CALLETANO?
FRANK, THE CHECK BOUNCED.
WHAT? NOT ONLY THAT,
BUT YOU BROUGHT FRANK JR. HOME FROM THE
HOCKEY GAME LAST NIGHT WITH A 102 FEVER.
WHERE'S YOUR BRAINS? FAY, I'M
IN THE MIDDLE OF A CRISIS HERE.
YOU BET YOU ARE! MY CRISIS!
YOUR SON IS HOME SICK.
NOW I GOTTA GET SOMEONE TO
STAY WITH HIM SO I CAN GO TO WORK.
BUT BECAUSE YOUR LOUSY CHECK
BOUNCED HIGHER THAN A HANDBALL,
I CAN'T PAY THE SITTER!
I REALLY HATE YOUR GUTS, FRANK.
THIS MARRIAGE AND
EVERYTHING CONNECTED WITH IT...
HAS CAUSED ME NOTHING BUT GRIEF!
AND ON TOP OF THAT,
HARVEY SAYS FRANK JR.'s GOT SOME
SORT OF GENDER IDENTITY THING...
THAT HE'S GOT TO WORK THROUGH
BECAUSE HIS FATHER IS A COP!
HE'S GETTING INTO FIGHTS
IN SCHOOL BECAUSE OF IT.
AND EVERYTHING IS JUST LOUSY!
PHIL... AND IT IS ALL
YOUR LOUSY FAULT!
PHIL, WOULD YOU PLEASE TAKE FAY OUT TO THE
COFFEE BAR FOR JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES...
WHILE I COORDINATE A
FEW THINGS WITH RAY HERE.
FAY... THEN I'LL TAKE
CARE OF THE SITUATION.
I'M SORRY YOU HAD
TO WITNESS THAT.
NO SWEAT, MAN.
WE'VE ALL BEEN THERE.
EX-WIVES.
YEAH. EXCEPT SHE'S RIGHT.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE TAKEN
HIM TO THE HOCKEY GAME.
SOMETIMES I MISS
HIM SO MUCH, IT HURTS.
FAY, CREAM AND SUGAR?
HEY, HOW YOU BEEN, FAY?
GOOD. HOW ARE YOU, PHIL?
HOW'S, UM, MARGARET?
WELL, DIDN'T FRANK
TELL YOU? WE SPLIT UP.
I'M SORRY.
I'M... YOU GUYS WERE
MARRIED FOREVER.
TWENTY-THREE YEARS.
I'M REALLY SORRY, PHIL.
WELL, DON'T BE. TO TELL YOU THE
TRUTH, I'VE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER.
NOW, GRANTED, I HIT THE SKIDS
REAL HARD FOR A 10-MONTH PERIOD.
I MEAN, I CAME
CLOSE TO ENDING IT.
BUT THEN I MET CINDY, AND
OVERNIGHT MY LIFE TURNED AROUND.
OH, YEAH?
OH, THAT'S TERRIFIC.
I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT.
ARE YOU THINKING OF
GETTING REMARRIED?
AS SOON AS SHE GRADUATES.
SHE'S A COLLEGE STUDENT?
HIGH SCHOOL. SHE'S
A GRADUATING SENIOR.
COME ON! COME ON!
DOWN HERE!
MOVE! MOVE!
YOU WANNA SIT DOWN THERE
BEFORE I KNOCK YOU DOWN?
HEY, I NEED A NURSE. THIS
LUNATIC BIT ME ON MY DAMN ANKLE!
NAME.
I SAID NAME!
WILSON, RICHARD T.
DETECTIVE BELKER.
HI, MA. WHAT IS THAT NOISE?
I'M, UH, TYPING.
I STOPPED. I'M LISTENING.
THAT'S IT? HE WANTS
TO GO TO FLORIDA?
WHY... WHY IS THAT
SUCH A BAD THING?
THE MAN IS 83, MA! WHO'S HE
GONNA HAVE AN AFFAIR WITH?
SO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'LL DO?
YOU'LL GO WITH HIM, AND YOU'LL
BE ABLE TO KEEP AN EYE ON HIM.
THAT'S SILLY, MA. YES, IT IS!
YOU LOOK GREAT IN A BATHING
SUIT. YOU GOT A GREAT SHAPE...
YOU GOT ANY PAPER CLIPS?
YOU BETTER WIPE THAT
SMIRK RIGHT OFF YOUR FACE!
WHAT AM I HEARING NOW? I
KNOW I'M HEARING CRYING.
THERE'S NO CRYING NOW.
WE MADE A DEAL. NO
CRYING. COME ON. MA?
I GOTTA CALL YOU
BACK, SWEETHEART.
WHAT?
ONE FOR YOU, LIEUTENANT.
THEY'D LIKE FOR YOU TO DO THAT.
I'LL CALL THE BANK.
THEY'LL HAVE THE CASH TO
COVER THE CHECK BY
THE TIME YOU GET THERE.
I PROMISE. AND WHAT ABOUT
THE SESSION WITH HARVEY?
I'D LOVE TO HAVE A SIT-DOWN WITH
YOU AND HARVEY ABOUT FRANK JR.
WHEN? I'LL CALL HIS OFFICE
AS SOON AS I CAN, FAY.
WHEN!
DON'T YOU THINK IT'S A
LITTLE UNPROFESSIONAL...
TO TAKE THE KID TO A
SHRINK AND THEN DATE HIM?
WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH THAT.
ARE YOU SLEEPING WITH HIM?
THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. I'M
CONCERNED ABOUT MY SON'S ENVIRONMENT.
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING
ABOUT YOUR SON'S ENVIRONMENT.
IT IMPROVED THE MOMENT
YOU LEFT THE HOUSE!
THANK YOU. YO, LOUIE.
LOOK. MY 11:00 IS HERE.

YO, MAMA, WHERE'S THE PARTY?
HEY, LOUIE.

THANK YOU, PHIL.

YO.
FURILLO, WHAT MAKES YOU

BECAUSE ONE HAND
WASHES THE OTHER, JESUS.
I DO FOR YOU; YOU DO FOR ME.
YEAH? AND WHAT'VE YOU
DONE FOR ME LATELY, HUH?
YOU SET UP PEACE
TALK WITH THE DRAGONS.
POOF-BUTTS DON'T
EVEN SHOW THEIR FACE.
WHOSE FAULT WAS THAT?
LOVER BOY'S OVER THERE.
YOU GOT A SHORT MEMORY.
YOU SET IT UP, BRO!
YOU MAKE ME LOOK BAD.
NOW, WHY THE HELL SHOULD
I MAKE YOU LOOK GOOD, HUH?
IT'S GOT NOTHING TO DO
WITH MAKING ME LOOK GOOD!
THOSE ARE INNOCENT
PEOPLE IN THAT LIQUOR STORE,
AND THE AGREEMENT WE NEGOTIATED
WAS YOU DON'T HIT STORES ON DRAGON TURF.
DEKKER AVENUE IS D.M.Z.,
FRANKIE! YOU KNOW THAT.
FRANCIS, YOUR
WIFE'S ON THE PHONE.

- "PLEASE, PHIL, LATER."
YOU'RE WICKED, BRO.
I MEAN, YOU REALLY KNOW
HOW TO RUN A BUSINESS HERE.
FRANK, WE DON'T HAVE
TO PUT UP WITH THIS.
- EASY, RAY. SIT DOWN. SIT!

PHIL.
SO WHAT'S IT GONNA BE? YOU GONNA
HELP US, OR DO SOME PEOPLE GET KILLED?
- WHAT'S MY SUGAR?

THE CHARGES MIGHT BE
CONSIDERABLY REDUCED.

WHAT'S GOING ON? BACK OFF!

LISTEN TO ME, FRANK. YOU'RE
MAKING A GRAVE ERROR HERE.
WE'VE GOT THE FIREPOWER TO
BLOW THESE PUNKS OUT OF THE WATER.
WELL, THEN, TRY IT, OKAY! I'LL

IS THAT WHAT YOU ALL WANT?
HUH? IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?

FIRST THING I WANT YOU TO DO IS

YOUR SIDE OF THE STREET NOW.
ARE YOU STILL LISTENING, HECTOR?
PULL THOSE HELICOPTERS OUTTA

HELICOPTERS OUTTA HERE!
HECTOR! ABAJO!

I WANNA RUN A CHECK ON
THAT MAN'S IMMIGRATION STATUS.
GET AWAY FROM THERE!
GET AWAY FROM THERE!
MOVE IT OUT! COME ON!
NO, I'M SORRY, COUNSELOR.
THERE MUST BE SOME MISTAKE.
YOUR CLIENT'S NOT HERE.
WHO SAID WE FOUND HIM?
NEVER MIND, SERGEANT.
YOU'RE A REAL CUTE GUY, LaRUE.
I MEAN, WHAT ELSE DO I HAVE TO
DO WITH MY TIME BESIDES WASTE IT?
YOU KNOW, ON FIRST
INSTINCT, I GOT ANGRY.
THEN ON SECOND INSTINCT, I
THOUGHT OF FILING CHARGES.
REALLY.
I JUST WANNA BE WITH YOU
TONIGHT, BABE. THAT'S ALL.
YOU DO, HUH?
BECAUSE UNDERNEATH IT ALL, YOU'RE
JUST A LONELY GUY IN A DANGEROUS JOB.
WHO AM I TO ARGUE WITH THAT?
I'M SORRY. DON'T BE.
WHEN I THOUGHT ABOUT
IT, I TRIED TO CALL YOU BACK.
I JUST COULDN'T GET THROUGH
TO YOUR SWITCHBOARD.
YEAH, THAT'S THE PROBLEM

NO HARD FEELINGS, LaRUE.
YOU CAN SEND ME

WHAT'S WITH HER?
I DON'T APPROVE OF
WHAT YOU DID, FRANCIS.
OFF THE RECORD, YOU PROMISED ME YOU'D
BE CAREFUL OUT THERE, BUT YOU WEREN'T.
THAT GOES DOUBLE FOR ME, FRANK.
YOU THINK YOU'RE STILL
A KID OR SOMETHING?
YOU GOT 40 PHONE CALLS HERE.
TWENTY-FIVE OF 'EM
ARE FROM YOUR WIFE.
WE CAN'T RAISE HILL OR RENKO.
I SENT BELKER AND LAMONICA
OUT TO LOOK FOR 'EM.
GO HOME, FRANCIS. YOU
LOOK BEAT. LET ME SHOPKEEP.
CINDY'S GOT MARCHING
BAND PRACTICE TILL 10:00.
I THINK I MIGHT JUST DO THAT.
REACTIONARY, FASCISTIC,
HIGH-HANDED, UNCARING ANIMALS!
KILL, BEAT, INTIMIDATE,
VIOLATE EACH AND EVERY
CONSTITUTIONAL GUARANTEE.
DISPENSE CURBSIDE
JUSTICE. HMM. UH-UH. NO, SIR.
THE PROBLEM IS NOT IN
THE PEOPLE IN THAT GHETTO.
IT'S IN ITS NAZI
OCCUPATION FORCE.
VICIOUS, UGLY.
THERE IS NOT A COP UP THERE
WHO SHOULDN'T BE PROSECUTED.
I SWEAR I HAVE SEEN
MORE BRUTALITY...
AND BRAZEN CONTEMPT
FOR THE LAW...
TO OPEN UP A GRAND
JURY INVESTIGATION.
I MEAN IT.
AH. MM.

THEY'RE BOTH IN INTENSIVE CARE.
I WON'T LIE TO YOU, FRANCIS.
IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WENT DOWN.
FRANK?
