PUT THE STOOL DOWN
RIGHT NOW!
I'LL PUT IT DOWN!
COMING TONIGHT ON
HILL STREET BLUES...
IF YOU TOTALLY BELIEVE IN THE
FREE ENTERPRISE SYSTEM,
ANYONE CAN BECOME A SUCCESS.
OH, WITHOUT QUESTION.
THE GUY ASKED ME TO GIVE HIM
WHIPPED CREAM
AND HOT FUDGE FOR 35 BUCKS.
I DON'T THINK
I MISUNDERSTOOD.
WHIPPED CREAM AND HOT FUDGE?
LET'S KEEP THOSE
OTHER TWO RUSSIANS
COMFORTABLE
AND ISOLATED.
LOW PROFILE, EVERYBODY.
NOTHING HAPPENED.
I UNDERSTAND THERE'S
A HOSTAGE SITUATION
DEVELOPING AT HILL STREET--
A RUSSIAN.
ACTUALLY, IT'S NOTHING.
THEY'RE BREAKING IN
DOWN THERE.
ITEM 7,
THE YULE APPROACHES.
UH, ADDITIONAL HOLIDAY
ASSIGNMENTS.
FOOT PATROL ACCOMPANYING
THE SALVATION ARMY BAND
AND MT. HERMAN BAPTIST GOSPEL
CHOIR, AND THEY'RE COMBINED,
AND I MIGHT ADD, COURAGEOUS
ANNUAL SERENADE
OF THE CENTER STREET
PROJECTS.
OFFICERS MEYER, GRENLEY,
AND SCHWARTZ
ARE OVERSEEING THIS AFTERNOON'S
GIFT GIVEAWAY
AT THE HERTEL YOUTH FACILITY,
MARGOLIS AND RICHMOND.
ITEM 8 CONCERNS THE VISIT OF,
UH-- HMM.
NOW, THESE ARE REPRESENTATIVES
OF THE JOURNALISTS
DUE IN FOR PUBLICATIONS OF
MANUFACTURING
AND FARM COLLECTIVES OF THE
SOVIET REPUBLIC OF GEORGIA.
NOW, THESE SCRIBES
HAVE ASKED,
DURING THEIR STAY
IN OUR FAIR CITY,
TO SEE THE SITUATION OF THE
PROLETARIAT CLASS
IN A TRUE AMERICAN GHETTO.
[LAUGHTER]
WE QUALIFY.
LIEUTENANT HUNTER WILL
SUPERVISE THEIR TOUR,
COMMENCING AT 800 HOURS.
OFFICERS HILL AND RENK
GO TO SERVICE ESCORTS.
THE QUESTION IS HOW NOW
TO ASK THEM CREEPS.
THERE'LL BE
NO EDITORIALIZING, ANDY.
THE, UH, PODIUM NOTES
WITHIN YOUR ITINERARY
STOP AT MAYNARD'S
COUNTRY KITCHEN.
AW!
ITEM 9, A CRITICAL RISE IN
ROBBERIES OF PHARMACIES,
AMBULANCES, MEDICAL, AND
VETERINARY OFFICES, HAS ENSUED
FOLLOWING OUR RECENT NARCOTICS
OPERATION IN LITTLE ECUADOR.
THE PANIC IS ON, PEOPLE.
NOW, DETECTIVE BELKER
BEGINS AN UNDERCOVER TODAY
WITH THE FAIRVIEW AMBULANCE
SERVICE.
BE ALERT FOR BACKUP.
TOUGH CHOICE-- MOUTH-TO-MOUTH
AND BELKER ARE DEATH.
[LAUGHTER]
ITEM 10
IS THE WELCOME RETURN
TO ALUMNI MARTY NICHOLS
AND AL BOLINO...
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
WHO, UH, ALONG WITH SIX
OF THEIR FELLOW OFFICERS
FROM SOUTH FERRY, WILL BE
FLUSHING OUT, AS IT WERE,
OUR ONGOING PROSTITUTION
UNDERCOVER ON EAST UTICA.
I'M AFRAID TO ASK AL
WHAT HE'S GONNA BE DOING.
[LAUGHTER AND CHEERING]
ITEM 11, WELL, THE HELP IS A
VERY TEMPORARY SITUATION,
AND YOU'RE ADVISED OF A
TEMPORARY FREEZE
ON ALL PROMOTIONS,
AS REGARDS TO THE FORCE.
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
COURAGE, LUCY.
ITEM LAST,
A CHRISTMAS REMINDER
FROM OUR CONFRERES
IN THE JUDICIAL ARM
SHARE OUR OWN DEEP DESIRE
TO HONOR HOLIDAY SHOPPING AND
PARTY COMMITMENTS.
OUR ADVERSARIES
IN THE STREETS
SOMETIMES ARE FAMILIES
AND LOVED ONES AS WELL.
IN THE SEVEN DAYS LEFT UNTIL
CHRISTMAS,
LET US NOT THEREFORE
BE ADVERSE
AT TIPPING THE SCALES ON
THE CLOSE ONES, HUH?
AWAY FROM THE BUSTS,
AWAY FROM THE PAPERWORK,
AWAY FROM THE TESTIMONY,
AWAY FROM THE LONELY
CHRISTMAS INCARCERATION.
WELL, ALL RIGHT, THAT'S IT.
LET'S ROLL.
AND HEY, HEY-- LET'S BE
CAREFUL OUT THERE.
YOU GOT IT, SARGE.
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
IN ORDER TO SPEAK
MY OWN LANGUAGE,
I HAVE TO GO OUT TO A PLACE
AND EAT SOUL FOOD
WITH A BUNCH OF RUSSIANS.
[PHONE RINGS]
I'M GONNA BE
WITH THOSE JERKS.
HEY, THAT'S ROTTEN LUCK.
IT'S NOT LUCK,
IT'S POLITICS.
HE JUST WANTS EVERYBODY TO KNOW
THAT JUST BECAUSE HE'S A COP,
HE'S NOT GONNA BE PLAYING
FAVORITES.
YEAH, BECAUSE OF
THE BUDGET PROBLEM.
THAT MAKES SENSE.
SO YOU AGREE WITH HIM?
NO, I AGREE
WITH WHAT HE SAID.
THAT MAKES SENSE.
THAT'S PROBABLY WHY
HE'S DOING IT.
YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T SEEM TOO
BROKEN UP ABOUT THIS, JOE.
HEY, I FEEL BAD,
OKAY, LUCE?
BUT IF YOU ASK ME IF I'M SORRY
THAT IT'S GONNA BE YOU
RATHER THAN
SOME BEER-BELLIED GRUNT
SITTING NEXT TO ME IN THE UNIT,
THE ANSWER'S NO.
AT LEAST YOU'RE HONEST.
YEAH, YOU'LL BE WEARING
STRIPES WITHIN A YEAR.
A YEAR?
18 MONTHS MAX.
- HEY, HEY.
- HEY, JOE, HOW ARE YOU?
- YOU LOOK GREAT.
- HI, MARTY.
- WHOA!
- OH.
BOBBY, HI.
HI, MARTY.
YOU LOOK GREAT.
THANKS.
YOU DO TOO.
A LOT BETTER THAN THE RUMORS.
YEAH, WELL,
WINNING THAT LOTTERY
PUT ME THROUGH A LOT OF CHANGES,
BUT THAT'S BEHIND ME NOW.
OH, ALONG WITH THE MONEY?
NO, I HAVE A-- I STILL HAVE A
FEW CRUMBS LEFT.
HOW ABOUT IF I
SCRAPE TOGETHER A FEW
TO TAKE YOU OUT TO DINNER
TONIGHT?
YEAH, I'D LIKE THAT.
YOU'RE GIVING ME
SOME REALLY GOOD THOUGHTS.
HEY, I'M FOR SALE
TO YOU ANYWAY, SUGAR.

OH, IT IS
COMPLETELY DELICIOUS.
I HOPE YOU WILL TELL THE

[LAUGHTER]
NO, WE'VE GOT IT FOR YOU.
LOTS OF FOLKS ASK.
EXCUSE ME, UH, IS IT SO EASY
FOR A PERSON IN AMERICA
TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL
AND GIVE AWAY FOOD?
WELL, I WOULDN'T SAY
IT'S EASY, MISTER.
CAN I HAVE SOME BONES?
HONEY, WE'RE STILL
USING IT TO MAKE THE SOUP.
I THOUGHT-- THOUGHT YOU WERE
GIVING BONES AWAY.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE GIVING
BONES AWAY.
BUT WE'RE STILL
USING IT FOR THE SOUP.
I SEE THOSE BONES.
NOW, GIVE ME THEM!
MAYNARD, THE MAN'S

WE'LL GO.
I WOULD LIKE VERY MUCH TO SEE
YOUR PROCEDURES OF ARREST.
I WOULD WISH TO FOLLOW THE
ENTIRE ARREST PROCEDURE.
WOULD THIS BE POSSIBLE?
OH, WE HAVE NO GULAGS HERE.
WE DO OUR PENAL LINEN
IN FRESH AIR AND SUNLIGHT.
COME ALONG, IF YOU LIKE.
LET'S GO.
ALL RIGHT,
IF YOU SO DESIRE,
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT

NOW, THAT'S MY RECIPE.
OH!

MAYNARD, UH, DID THE
CITY'S VISITOR BUREAU
MAKE ARRANGEMENT FOR PAYMENT?

BOOK THIS CREEP.
CHARGE?
SOLICITING,
AND JUST BEING A DEGENERATE.
ROB, HOW ARE YOU DOING?
J.D.
YEAH, I'M GREAT, MAN.
HOW ABOUT...
ROB, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
YOU'VE GOT TO
HELP ME OUT, J.D.
OFFICER NICHOLS.
YOU KNOW THIS GUY?
WELL, YEAH, I DO.
HE'S A FAMILY MEMBER.
HE'S MY SISTER'S HUSBAND.
WELL, HE'S SICK.
HE NEEDS A LOT OF HELP.
ROB, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
OKAY, UH,
WHAT'S THE CHARGE?
SOLICITING.
COME ON, J.D.
"COME ON, J.D." WHAT?
DID HE APPROACH YOU?
YEAH, HE SURE DID.
OFFICER NICHOLS,
IS THERE ANY CHANCE
YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN
MISTAKEN?
I MEAN, THIS GUY IS
MARRIED TO MY SISTER.
I CAN'T BELIEVE HE'D-- OKAY,
MAYBE YOU MISUNDERSTOOD.
J.D., THE GUY ASKED ME TO
GIVE HIM WHIPPED CREAM
AND HOT FUDGE FOR 35 BUCKS.
I DON'T THINK
I MISUNDERSTOOD.
WHIPPED CREAM AND HOT FUDGE?
WHAT'S WHIPPED CREAM
AND HOT FUDGE?
J.D., YOU THINK YOU CAN--
WHIPPED CREAM AND HOT FUDGE?
BOOK HIM.
- BAD NEWS, FRANK.
- WHAT?
SHE'S COMING IN
ON AN EARLIER FLIGHT.
HOW MUCH EARLIER?
SHE'S STILL COMING IN ON
TUESDAY, ISN'T SHE?
TOMORROW, 1:30.
WONDERFUL.
I HAVE TO SAY,
I'M MORE THAN A LITTLE
IRRITATED WITH FAY.
I ASKED HER TO KEEP FRANK JR.
THIS WEEKEND.
SHE SAID NO?
SHE SAID
SHE NEEDED THE SPACE.
I'LL CALL HER.
I'M GOING TO SEND A CAB TO THE
AIRPORT FOR MOTHER, FRANK.
SHE'S GOING TO STAY WITH US.
WHAT ABOUT HER HOTEL?
IT'LL ONLY BE
A FEW NIGHTS.
SHE COULDN'T
GET A RESERVATION, OKAY?
OKAY.
TYRONE CRANE?
VANDALISM.
YOU'VE GOT A SPOT.
I'M NOT GOING
TO DO THIS. SEE YA.
SEE YA.
ARE YOU SURE
YOU'RE ALL RIGHT
WITH MOTHER STAYING WITH US
FOR A FEW NIGHTS?
OH, NO PROBLEM.
THERE'S GONNA BE
PLENTY OF ROOM,
BECAUSE AS SOON AS YOU LEAVE
HERE, I'M GONNA KILL MYSELF.
[LAUGHS]
ALL ALLEGED PERPETRATORS
MUST UNDERGO THIS
FINGERPRINTING PROCESS.
WHERE'S MY DOG?
WHERE IS HE?
HE'S IN THE RESTAURANT,
TYRONE. HE'S FINE.
I GOTTA SEE HIM.
HEY, NOW, TYRONE,
YOU TAKE IT EASY.
YOUR POOCH
IS GONNA BE ALL RIGHT,
BUT YOU'RE GONNA END UP SPENDING
THE CHRISTMAS SEASON
IN THE KENNEL IF YOU DON'T
STRAIGHTEN UP, YOU HEAR ME?
COME ON, NOW. GIVE ME THAT.
TAKE A WALK OVER HERE NOW.
HEY, AL.
JUST PHOTOGRAPHS, MS. DAVENPORT,
AND HE'S ALL YOURS.
NOW, MR. CRANE
AND HIS ATTORNEY
WILL COUNSEL US TO HIS
SITUATION,
WHICH IS
A PORTION OF THE PROCESS
THAT OUR CONSTITUTION
SAYS THAT WE CANNOT ATTEMPT,
AND I THOUGHT THAT
WE WOULD USE THE INTERPOL
TO TOUR THE REST OF THE
FACILITY, IF THAT PLEASES YOU.
SURE.
OH, GOOD.
UH, FOLLOW ME.
DO YOU HAVE FAMILY, TYRONE?
I LEFT WHEN MY--MY MA DIED.
WHAT ABOUT
BROTHERS AND SISTERS?
I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY IS.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO
HURT NOBODY.
I JUST WANTED TO GET
HIM HIS BONES.
I UNDERSTAND YOU CARE
FOR YOUR DOG, TYRONE,
BUT IT'S AGAINST THE LAW
TO DESTROY ANOTHER PERSON'S
PROPERTY.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?
YES.
YOU SEE A DOCTOR?
AT THE CLINIC.
I GET MEDICATION.
WHAT KIND?
TO CALM DOWN.
THE HERTEL CLINIC?
WHAT'S YOUR DOCTOR'S NAME?
DR. RAMESH.
HOW OFTEN ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO
SEE HIM?
TUESDAYS.
YOUR RECORD'S PRETTY CLEAN,
AND THE JUDGE DOESN'T
WANT TO HAVE PEOPLE
SPEND CHRISTMAS IN JAIL.
IT'S MY GUESS HE MIGHT
PUT YOU ON PROBATION
IF YOU MAKE RESTITUTION TO THE
MAN IN THE RESTAURANT.
YES, MA'AM.
I WOULD,
IF I COULD KEEP MY DOG.
NO ONE ELSE WANTS YOUR DOG,
TYRONE.
WOULD YOU PROMISE NOT TO CAUSE
ANY MORE TROUBLE OVER THERE?
YES, MA'AM.
THERE'LL BE AN ARRAIGNMENT IN A
LITTLE WHILE, IN COURT.
I'LL SEE YOU THERE.
THANK YOU.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, TYRONE.
NOW, UH, THIS OFFICER
IS IN CHARGE
OF OUR SUPPLEMENTARY
HOLDING FACILITY,
WHICH WE REFER TO
AS THE GARDEN LEVEL.
[CHUCKLES]
YOU TOTALLY BELIEVE, IN THE
FREE ENTERPRISE SYSTEM,
ANYONE CAN BECOME A SUCCESS.
OH, WITHOUT QUESTION.
WHY, LOOK AT MAYNARD, UH, OUR
HOST AT THAT RESTAURANT.
NOW, HERE IS A MAN
WITH THE EDUCATIONAL
AND ECONOMIC CARDS STACKED
AGAINST HIM,
AND YET HE'S KIND, HONORABLE,
HARD-WORKING.
NOW, YOU SEE, IN AMERICA, A MAN
WHO MAKES A BETTER MOUSETRAP
WILL ULTIMATELY SUCCEED.
DO YOU HEAR THIS, LUDMILLA?
IT IS LIKE MY BROTHER
IN PHOENIX I SPOKE TO YOU OF.
I DO NOT ASK
OF KONSTANTIN HERE,
SINCE KONSTANTIN
HAS EVERYTHING.
LIEUTENANT, WHAT WILL FINALLY
HAPPEN TO THE CRIMINAL?
OH, WELL, MR. CRANE
HAS A RIGHT TO A TRIAL
BY 12 OF HIS PEERS,
ALL OF WHOM
MUST VOTE TO CONVICT.
YES, BUT WE HAVE READ OF YOUR
PLEA BARGAINING SYSTEM.
WELL, IT'S TRUE HE MAY
BE GIVEN INDUCEMENTS
TO PLEAD GUILTY
TO A LESSER CHARGE.
UH, BELIEVE ME,
THIS IS A FLAW.
AND WILL BE NOT BE CONVICTED
SOLELY BECAUSE HE IS A BLACK?
UH, NO, NO, NOT FOR
THIS MINOR OFFENSE.
HE PROBABLY WON'T EVEN BE
CONVICTED AT ALL.
AS INSTINCTIVE BELIEVERS
IN THE INDIVIDUAL,
AS AGAINST THE COLLECTIVE,
WE SURROUND OUR DEFENDANTS
WITH PROTECTIONS.
[CELL DOOR SLAMS]
I DEMAND ASYLUM!
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
WHAT'S GOING ON?
SOMETHING WITH
THOSE RUSSIANS.
LATER FOR
THE RUSSIANS, NEAL.
THIS LITTLE SCENARIO
IS SHAPING UP
TO SATISFY MY TRANSPORTATION
NEEDS FOR THE NEXT DECADE.
UH, GIVE ME A COUPLE SECONDS,
MARTY, OKAY?
SO, UH, THEY'RE TAKING YOU
FOR ARRAIGNMENT, HUH?
MY LAWYER'S
MEETING ME THERE.
THINKS MAYBE WE CAN
BEAT IT ON ENTRAPMENT.
YEAH?
DID HE THINK HE COULD
GET TO THE NEWSPAPERS
AND THE RADIO STATIONS?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WELL, THEY'RE PUBLISHING
A JOHNS LIST NOW
AND READING THEIR NAMES
ON THE AIR--
YOU KNOW, THE GUYS WE'VE
ARRESTED FOR SOLICITING.
- NO.
- EVERY DAY.
LOOK, J.D., WE HAD OUR
DIFFERENCES IN THE PAST.
HEY, IN ANY CLOSE FAMILY,
THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN.
I'M TELLING YOU, J.D., I'M ON
THIN ICE WITH PEGGY NOW.
THIS'LL DO IT.
THE MARRIAGE WILL DROWN.
ALL RIGHT, LOOK.
MAYBE I OVERREACTED.
I MEAN,
IT WAS SUCH A SHOCK.
DO YOU WANT ME
TO SEE WHAT I CAN DO?
WOULD YOU?
I CAN TRY.
I'D BE GRATEFUL, MAN.
THE ONLY THING IS, I'VE BEEN
GETTING THESE VISIONS.
YEAH?
AT NIGHT, I KEEP SEEING
AUTOMOBILES, PRESIDENTS.
I CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT.
TRY.
WELL, MAYBE I'M SEEING
AUTOMOBILES
THAT ARE NAMED
FOR PRESIDENTS.
YEAH, LIKE THE ONE
WHO FREED THE SLAVES.
OKAY, A YEAR'S LEASE ON ME.
NO, I KEEP SEEING
AN OWNER'S SLIP
IN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT
THAT SAYS, "J.D. LARUE."
YOU SWINE.
OKAY, LINE UP FOR TRANSPORT
FOR ARRAIGNMENT.
HEY.
[KNOCKS]
COME ON.
OKAY, J.D.,
YOU'VE GOT IT.
ATTA BOY.
BUT, JEEZ, ROB,
I DON'T KNOW.
WHIPPED CREAM AND HOT FUDGE?
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE
OLD-FASHIONED BANANA SPLIT?
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
FOLLOW THE LINE HERE,
BUDDY.
HE WON'T COME OUT TILL
HE TALKS TO HIS BROTHER.
I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S A SPY.
HE DOESN'T LOOK
LIKE A SPY.
THE FBI IS
ON THEIR WAY, FRANK.
WHAT IN THE HELL HAPPENED?
TCHERCHENKO MUST HAVE BEEN
PLANNING THIS, FRANK.
HE'S THE ONE THAT ASKED
TO COME BACK HERE.
ARE WE GONNA LET HIM
MAKE HIS CALL?
WHAT CALL?
HIS BROTHER OWNS
A LIQUOR STORE IN PHOENIX.
HE WANTS TO CALL HIM.
ALL RIGHT, JUST KEEP THE GARDEN
LEVEL SEALED OFF.
NO DECISION ON ANY OF IT TILL
THE FBI GUYS GET HERE.
PRUDENT, FRANK,
IF NOT BOLD.
DIVISION WANTS AN OPEN LINE.
SET IT UP, RAY.
HENRY, LET'S KEEP THOSE
OTHER TWO RUSSIANS
COMFORTABLE AND ISOLATED.
LOW PROFILE, EVERYBODY.
NOTHING TO PRESS.
NOTHING.
NOTHING HAPPENED.
AT LEAST UNTIL
THE FBI GETS HERE.
COUNSEL APPROACH.
UH, YOU TOO,
OFFICERS, PLEASE.
I UNDERSTAND THERE'S
A HOSTAGE SITUATION
DEVELOPING AT HILL STREET.
A RUSSIAN?
WELL, YES, SIR, YOUR HONOR--
UH, JUDGE-- UH, BUT ACTUALLY,
IT'S NOTHING.
UH-HUH. WELL, WHAT DO WE HAVE
OVER THERE, OFFICERS?
HE GOT INTO A BEEF
AT A RESTAURANT, YOUR HONOR,
AND HE SMASHED
A DISPLAY CASE.
ONE PRIOR DISORDERLY.
HE'S RECEIVING LITHIUM TREATMENT
AT THE, UH, HERTEL CLINIC.
I CALLED HIS DOCTOR
ABOUT AN HOUR AGO.
HE DESCRIBED TYRONE
AS FAIRLY FLAKY.
WOULDN'T CLASSIFY HIM
"MAJOR RISK."
AND WHERE'S
OUR COMPLAINANT?
UM, I GUESS HE'S BUSY,
YOUR HONOR.
OFFICERS, ON A SCALE
OF ONE TO TEN--
IF I TOLD YOU THAT I'M INCLINED
TOWARDS CHARITY THIS SEASON--
HOW CRAZY IS THIS GUY?
OH, MAYBE A 6.
5 1/2.
5 1/2, 6.
OBJECTIONS TO ADJOURNMENT
AND CONTEMPLATION?
NONE, YOUR HONOR.
WELL, LET'S PROCEED.
WHAT MADE YOU SO UPSET IN THE
RESTAURANT, MR. CRANE?
WORRY FOR MY DOG.
MM-HMM.
THE CASE IS ADJOURNED IN
CONTEMPLATION OF DISMISSAL.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT,
YOUNG MAN?
IF YOU MISBEHAVE,
YOU WON'T GET ANOTHER CHRISTMAS
PRESENT FROM ME,
AND I'LL HAVE YOU
RIGHT BACK IN HERE.
AS IT IS, I'LL WANT YOU TO PAY
THE RESTAURANT FOR DAMAGES.
YES, SIR.
ALL RIGHT.
[GAVEL BANGS]
YOU'RE FREE TO GO, TYRONE.
CAN I GET MY DOG NOW?

COMPLAINANT'S OFFICER,
MARTHA NICHOLS.
YOU TELL ME?
WHIPPED CREAM AND HOT FUDGE.
IT'S POSSIBLE TO CONSTRUE
DEFENDANT'S REQUEST
AS INNOCUOUS.
NO MONEY CHANGED HANDS?
NONE DID, YOUR HONOR, AND I
ADMIT, I, UH,
I'VE BEEN IN THIS JOB
FOR FOUR YEARS,
BUT WHIPPED CREAM AND HOT FUDGE,
THAT'S A NEW ONE ON ME.
JUDGE, I KNOW
WHEN I'VE BEEN SOLICITED.
THAT KNOWLEDGE
NOTWITHSTANDING, OFFICER,
WITH LANGUAGE
AS AMBIGUOUS AS THIS,
YOU SHOULD HAVE WAITED
FOR THE CASH.
[GAVEL BANGS]
DISMISSED.
BIG SHOT.
HEY, WHAT TIME
THIS AFTERNOON
SHOULD I COME DOWN
TO THE LOT?
WHAT FOR?
WHAT'D YOU DO FOR ME?
I TOLD THE D.A.
IT WAS NOTHING.
EVEN THE JUDGE KNEW IT WAS
NOTHING.
THEY DON'T PUBLISH
THE NAMES OF THOSE ARRESTED--
JUST CONVICTED, RIGHT?
ROB, I TURNED THIS ONE
FOR YOU.
GET LOST.
LUNCHTIME!
CURTIS.
CHIPS.
COMING OUT.
GO AHEAD, CLOSE THE CURTAIN.
SEE IF I CARE.
THAT'S SARDINES.
THEY'RE ONIONS.
WHAT?

YOU WANT HALF?
YEAH.
GO AHEAD.
THANK YOU.

[SIREN]
[HORNS HONKING]
[SIREN]
HEY, I KNOW THIS BUILDING.
IT'S A SHOOTING GALLERY.
WE GET TEN CALLS A DAY
TO SHOOTING GALLERIES.
THEY HIT ME WITH A PIPE.
OKAY, TRY NOT TO MOVE OR TALK,
ALL RIGHT, PAL?
EVERYTHING'S
GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.
LOOK STRAIGHT AHEAD.
JEEZ, THEY'RE BREAKING IN
DOWN THERE.
GIVE ME A NECK BRACE.
[TIRES SQUEALING]
[GROANING]
FRANK, THIS IS AGENT RAMSEY,
FEDERAL BUREAU.
YES, I REMEMBER.
HOW ARE YOU?
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
HOW DO YOU DO?
NOW, HERE'S THE AGENDA.
I'LL INTERVIEW THE DEFECTOR.
YOU MAKE
A PRELIMINARY CALL
WHETHER HE'S GOT
INTELLIGENCE VALUE,
WHETHER HE'S POLITICAL, WHETHER
THE STATE STEPS IN OR WHAT.
NOW, WHICH OF THE OTHER
INDIVIDUALS
HAS TRIED TO
CALL HIS EMBASSY?
NEITHER ONE.
THAT'S WEIRD.
IN A DELEGATION, YOU ALWAYS
HAVE ONE KGB.
HE ALWAYS TRIES TO CALL HIS
EMBASSY.
TCHERCHENKO,
THE GUY WHO DEFECTED,
WANTS TO CALL
A BROTHER IN PHOENIX.
THAT'S FINE, FINE,
AS LONG AS I CAN LISTEN.
YOU GOT A SET-UP?
YEAH, WE SHOULD HAVE A PHONE
HOOK-UP IN FIVE MINUTES.
OKAY, GOOD.
CAN WE, UH, LISTEN,
SEE THE THING?
YEAH, COME ON.
OKAY.
SO, THE BROTHER IN PHOENIX,
IS HE NATURALIZED?
I DON'T KNOW.
YEAH, EXTENSION 4366.
GREAT. THANK YOU.
- MAYNARD.
- HEY, SORRY.
I WAS SO BUSY, I WASN'T ABLE TO
MAKE IT DOWNTOWN.
HEY, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
WELL, I HATE
NOT TO DO MY DUTY,
BUT, I MEAN, MY DUTIES ARE IN
THE RESTAURANT THIS WEEK.
MAYNARD, I EXPECT
YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT BOY
COOL HIS HEELS IN STIR DURING
CHRISTMASTIME.
WELL, THAT TOO, BUT, UH,
HE DIDN'T REALLY DO
THAT MUCH DAMAGE.
HE'S SUPPOSED TO MAKE
RESTITUTION.
IF HE DOESN'T, OR HE CAUSES
YOU ANY MORE TROUBLES--
I KNOW JUST WHO TO CALL.
THANK YOU.
NOW, I BROUGHT A FEW ITEMS.
AND MERRY CHRISTMAS.
HEY, MERRY CHRISTMAS,
MAYNARD.
OOH, BOBBY HILL,
I JUST DIED
AND PASSED ON THROUGH
THE PEARLY GATES.
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
HIS BROTHER OWNS
A LIQUOR STORE.
TCHERCHENKO FIGURES
HE'S MADE IT EASY.
UH, THE BROTHER
TRIES TO EXPLAIN
IT'S MORE OF A
MOM-AND-POP SET-UP.
TCHERCHENKO CAN'T BELIEVE IT,
AND SAYS,
"ANTON, IN YOUR LETTERS, YOU
SPOKE OF SO MUCH BUSINESS."
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
YES, I SAY IT IN YOUR ENGLISH.
YOU ARE NO BLOOD OF MINE.
[HANGS UP]
CAN YOU BELIEVE,
MY OWN BROTHER,
A RICH, LUCKY FELLOW,
AND DELIVERY BOY I MUST BE.
THIS IS AGENT RAMSEY OF OUR
FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION.
YES, OF COURSE, FBI.
HE HAS SOME QUESTIONS.
YES, OF COURSE.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS.
EXCUSE ME.
FRANK, I'M SORRY I DIDN'T GET
BACK TO YOU SOONER.
I'VE BEEN RUNNING AROUND LIKE
CRAZY ALL DAY.
SAY, LISTEN, WE HAVE A REAL
PROBLEM.
JOYCE'S MOTHER IS ARRIVING
TOMORROW.
I CAN'T, FRANK.
I'M SORRY.
I MEAN,
I ALREADY TOLD JOYCE.
I GOT PLANS OF MY OWN
FOR THE WEEKEND.
THE WHOLE WEEKEND?
YEAH.
I'M GOING OUT OF TOWN.
ALONE?
NO.
SOMEBODY NEW IN YOUR LIFE?
YEAH.
LOOK, UM, ALL RIGHT,
I'LL--I'LL TAKE HIM.
NO. NO, I DIDN'T KNOW.
I, UH...
I'M TAKING THE BABY ANYWAY,
YOU KNOW, SO...
LET ME TRY TO WORK
SOMETHING OUT HERE.
THE LAST THING
IN THE WORLD YOU NEED
IS A COUPLE OF KIDS ALONG,
MESSING UP A ROMANTIC WEEKEND.
NO, NO, NO. REALLY, FRANK,
IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
I MEAN, THANK GOD,
THIS MAN'S AN ADULT.
MEANING, I'M NOT?
DON'T BE SO SENSITIVE.
I WAS THINKING OF PAUL GROGAN.
ANYHOW, LISTEN, IT'S GONNA BE
ALL OKAY. I'LL WORK IT OUT.
YOU SURE?
SURE.
I REALLY APPRECIATE IT, FAY.
THIS GUY SOUNDS SPECIAL.
HE IS.
BYE, FRANK.
THAT'S THE INFORMATION I HAVE.
IT'S OVER. YEAH. BYE-BYE.
- HI.
- HI.
GOT A MINUTE?
YEAH.
PROBLEM?
FRANK'S MOTHER-IN-LAW'S COMING
IN TOWN TOMORROW,
AND APPARENTLY, THERE'S SOME
SORT OF HOTEL SCREW-UP.
ANYHOW, SHE'S GOT TO
STAY WITH THEM
SO THEY CAN'T KEEP FRANK JR.
FOR THE WEEKEND.
NO PROBLEM. WE'RE TAKING THE
BABY. WE'LL TAKE HIM TOO.
YEAH, AND THE NEXT TIME
HE SEES HIS FATHER,
HE'LL TELL HIM ALL ABOUT US.
AH.
SO, UH,
I GUESS WE SHOULD CANCEL?
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
NOW, LISTEN TO ME, FAY,
WE WANT TO BE TOGETHER.
I WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING
BEHIND A CLOSED DOOR
I WOULDN'T ACKNOWLEDGE
OUTSIDE OF IT.
IF YOU WANT, I'LL GO
TELL HIM RIGHT NOW.
NO. LISTEN, HE'S GONNA
KNOW SOON ENOUGH ANYHOW.
IT'S JUST THAT, YOU KNOW, FOR
RIGHT NOW, IT'S OUR SECRET.
I WANT TO KEEP IT
A LITTLE LONGER.
SEE YOU.
COME, LUCE, A MONTH ON
THE STREET IS ONLY TEMPORARY.
IT'D BETTER BE
ONLY TEMPORARY.
472 EAST UTICA.
BACKUPS WILL MEET YOU THERE.
YOU MAY CALL YOUR EMBASSY
NOW IF YOU WISH.
THANK YOU.
WE HAVE A TELEPHONE
THAT YOU CAN USE.
THANK YOU, BUT I DESIRE TO TALK
TO TCHERCHENKO. THAT IS ALL.
WELL, NYET, MY FRIEND.
JUST NOW, HE'S COMPLETING
PRELIMINARY INTERVIEWS
ON HIS LONELY PATHWAY
TO FREEDOM.
I CAN'T FIGURE THIS ONE OUT.
DID HE SAY WHAT HE WANTS?
THERE'S ALWAYS
ABOUT 5% OF THEM,
THEY DON'T KNOW
WHAT THEY WANT.
THEY APPLY FOR ASYLUM.
SIX MONTHS LATER, THEY REAPPLY.
THEY WANT TO GO BACK AGAIN.
WE'VE DONE 12 OF THESE,
PREVIOUS.
NEVER HAD ONE LIKE THIS.
NO POLITICAL MOTIVE.
THROWS HIS ONE ECONOMIC MOTIVE
OUT THE WINDOW.
GOT NOTHING TO OFFER OF VALUE.
THE GUY'S SO OFF THE WALL.
IF HE'S A KGB, SEE, IT'D
BE THE TRICK OF THE YEAR.
IF I HAD TO GUESS,
I'D SAY HE'S IN THAT 5%.
CAN WE GET RID OF HIM?
I WANT MY SUPERVISOR
TO EVALUATE IT FIRST.
I TELL YOU, A GUY LIKE THIS, IT
WOULD BE AN EMBARRASSMENT
TO LET HIM IN ON OTHER THAN
ORDINARY IMMIGRATION.
[KNOCKING]
CAPTAIN, PLEASE.
I SENSE YOU ARE
A VERY KIND MAN.
I'M APPEALING
TO YOUR PERSONAL MERCY.
HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
I WOULD LIKE THE PERMISSION TO
SPEAK WITH TCHERCHENKO.
I'M AFRAID WE CAN'T DO THAT
UNTIL WE DETERMINE HIS STATUS.
BUT HIS DESIRE
TO DEFECT IS NOT GENUINE.
PLEASE BELIEVE ME.
TCHERCHENKO'S PROBLEM
IS WITH ME.
WELL, WE HAVE TO
TAKE HIM AT HIS WORD, MA'AM.
BUT HE'LL CHANGE HIS WORD IN
THREE OR FIVE DAYS,
AND THEN HE AND I AND
KONSTANTIN,
ALL OF US ARE GOING TO BE IN
VERY BIG DIFFICULTY.
THAT'S WHY NO ONE
HAS CALLED THE EMBASSY YET.
WE WILL SPEAK IN ENGLISH.
WE'LL HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE.
UH...
I'M NO EXPERT.
WHAT DO WE HAVE TO LOSE HERE?
YOU SAID YOURSELF, THE GUY
COULD BE AN EMBARRASSMENT.
I'D HAVE TO BE THERE.
FINE.
[SIRENS]
THEN WHAT HAPPENED?
HE SAID
WE TRIED TO POISON HIM.
MAYBE JUST BORROWED
SOME WATER, YOU KNOW.
AND THEN
HE STARTED SCREAMING,
AND MAYNARD WENT TO TRY
TO CALM HIM DOWN.
AND THE BOY PICKED UP THE BAT
AND CUTTING KNIFE
AND STABBED HIM.
ALL RIGHT.
MAYNARD HAD HIS HANDS UP.
HE WAS TRYING TO
KEEP HIM OFF,
BUT THE BOY JUST KEPT STABBING
HIM AND STABBING HIM.
[TIRES SCREECH]
WHAT HAPPENED?
HE'S DEAD.
WHO?
MAYNARD.
SOME CRAZY GUY STABBED HIM.
A TALL GUY WITH A DOG?
YEAH, HE HAD A DOG, YES.
WHAT HAPPENED, BELKER?
SOMEBODY STABBED MAYNARD.
146 WALNUT. THEY HAVE HIM
CORNERED IN A BASEMENT.
HE'S GOT A GUN.
ALL RIGHT, GO!
[SIRENS]
WE GOT A LOOK.
YOU WENT DOWN THERE?
YEP.
- DID HE FIRE?
- YEAH, ONE SHOT.
TYRONE?
TYRONE CRANE.
TYRONE.
LEAVE ME ALONE!
TYRONE, WE DON'T WANT TO HURT
YOU. JUST THROW OUT THE GUN.
WE KNOW YOU'RE UPSET, AND WE
WANT TO GET YOU SOME HELP.
THAT'S IT. WATCH IT!
RUN AWAY, DOG, RUN!
TYRONE, STOP IT!

[DOG BARKS AND WHINES]

ALL BE TOO LATE.
I DON'T CARE.
YOU'RE JUST SAYING THAT.
YOU DON'T THINK
OF CONSEQUENCES, MISCHA
I THINK OF THEM.
PERHAPS IT IS YOU
WHO DO NOT.
EXPLAIN.
PERHAPS IT IS YOU
WHO DO NOT.
I SAY IT.
LET US SPEAK FRANKLY WHILE WE
STILL HAVE THIS CHANCE.
I HAVE SAID SO.
FINISH!
DOES THIS CONCERN LOVE?
DOES IT CONCERN
KONSTANTIN?
YOU SLEPT WITH THAT SNAKE!
THAT COLD FRAUD!
MISCHA, PLEASE, FORGIVE ME.
I LOVE ONLY YOU.
NO, YOU DO NOT LOVE ME.
WE HAVE DIFFICULTIES,
I KNOW.
WE CAN RESOLVE THIS.
KONSTANTIN UNDERSTANDS MY LOVE
FOR YOU. HE UNDERSTANDS--
HOW COULD YOU?
HOW COULD?
[BOTH SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
MISCHA, WE CAN STILL TRY TO
RESOLVE THIS.
YOU AND I, ALONE.
NO KONSTANTIN.
WHAT WAS THE RUSSIAN?
UH, IT'S PERSONAL.
IT INVOLVES KONSTANTIN?
WE'RE JUST KGB!
LUDMILLA, SPEAK FRANKLY.
KONSTANTIN?
EXCUSE ME.
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
WHAT WAS THE RUSSIAN?
UH, THE GUY'S GOT A LITTLE
PROBLEM IN THE SACK.
"TOO PROMPT."
THAT WAS THE WORD HE USED.
"TOO PROMPT."
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN QUIETLY]
NOTHING TO DEFECT ABOUT.
MANASCHVILI.
EXCUSE ME, SIR.
I JUST HEARD OF YOUR
OCCUPATIONAL ASSIGNMENT.
I'LL HAVE TO
ASK YOU TO REMAIN
IN OFFICER BALLANTINE'S
COMPANY
FOR THE DURATION
OF YOUR STAY.
SHE IS BACK WITH HIM?
EXCUSE ME?
LUDMILLA.
SHE HAS RECONCILED
WITH TCHERCHENKO?
UM, THAT SEEMS TO BE
THE DRIFT OF THINGS, YES.
HEH. HEY, THERE'S PLENTY
OF TUNA IN THE SEA.
[BOTH SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
I DO NOT WISH TO DEFECT NOW.
I AM SORRY.
I WISH ONLY TO CONTINUE
OUR TOUR OF AMERICA.
IF IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THIS
NOT TO BECOME
AN INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT,
WE WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL,
CAPTAIN.
NO ONE OF US WOULD WISH
TO TELL OUR GOVERNMENT.
I CAN'T GUARANTEE THE PRESS,
MISS MOROS,
BUT I HAVE NO HOTLINE
TO YOUR EMBASSY, SO--
- THANK YOU.
- THANK YOU.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
HEY, ROB.
OH, PEG, HOW ARE YOU?
SAD.
I BROUGHT PEG DOWN HERE
SO YOU COULD EXPLAIN IT
TO HER, J.D.
EXPLAIN WHAT?
SOMEBODY TELEPHONED
AND TOLD HER
THAT I HAD BEEN ARRESTED
IN A POLICE SWEEP.
SOMEBODY TOLD YOU THAT?
HE WOULDN'T
GIVE ME HIS NAME.
HE SAID ROB MADE
A FILTHY REQUEST.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT,
BUT THEN, WHEN I CALLED HERE,
THEY SAID
HE'D BEEN ARRESTED.
I TOLD HER IT HAD TO BE SOME
KIND OF STREET SCUM,
SOMEBODY WHO'D DO
ANYTHING FOR 5 BUCKS.
YEAH, YOU'RE
PROBABLY RIGHT.
HEY, IT WAS PROBABLY
A PRACTICAL JOKE.
IT IS NOT A PRACTICAL JOKE.
THE, UH, TACKY OFFICER TOLD ME.
[CRYING]
[SIGHS]
GOT VISION PROBLEMS, J.D.?
YEAH.
TELL HER.
THEY'LL CLEAR UP.
YOU MEAN, TELL HER?
TELL HER, J.D.
BOY, YOU'VE GOT
SOME GUTS, ROB.
HEY, THIS GUY--THIS GUY TRUSTS
YOU ALL THE WAY, PEG.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

THERE WAS NO CHANCE
THE VICE COPS
COULD RECOGNIZE.
HEAVEN HELP ME,
I THOUGHT OF ROB.
ROB, THE CHIEF WANTS TO
GIVE YOU A COMMENDATION.
I ONLY HOPE THAT THE COST
HASN'T BEEN TOO HIGH.
YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT
I THOUGHT, J.D.
WELL, HELL YEAH. HEY, IT'S WHAT
WE WANTED THEM TO THINK.
GO WASH YOUR FACE NOW.
RIGHT NOW, ALL RIGHT?

OKAY, OKAY,

CAPTAIN, I HOPE YOU DO
NOT THINK WE ARE CLOWNS,

OF COURSE NOT.
I HOPE YOU TWO

IT'S ALL RIGHT.
OH, IT'S NOT ALL RIGHT.
ONE OF MY CLIENTS
COMMITTED A MURDER.
YOU DON'T HAVE

NONE OF US HAS.
HE WAS SUCH A SWEET MAN.
AND HE'S GONE,
AND IT'S TRAGIC.
AND I GOT THE MAN RELEASED
WHO KILLED HIM.
IN CONSCIENCE, AND WITH GOOD
INTENTIONS, AND I'M SURE,
WITH COMPASSION AND CONCERN
FOR HIS WELFARE.
I CALLED HIS DOCTOR. HIS DOCTOR
THOUGHT HE'D BE ALL RIGHT.
SO DID YOU.
IT'S WHAT YOU HOPED.
IT'S WHAT EVERYBODY HOPED.
WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO, JOYCE?

I THINK SO.
- AM I CUT?
- NO, UH-UH.
RIGHT THERE, RIGHT THERE!
- BONES!
- GIVE US YOUR NAME!
TYRONE!
WHO'S GONNA
TAKE CARE OF MY DOG?
WE'LL KEEP THE DOG HERE.
ALL RIGHT, TYRONE,
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.
WE'LL GO.
I WOULD LIKE VERY MUCH TO SEE
YOUR PROCEDURES OF ARREST.
I WOULD WISH TO FOLLOW THE
ENTIRE ARREST PROCEDURE.
WOULD THIS BE POSSIBLE?
OH, WE HAVE NO GULAGS HERE.
WE DO OUR PENAL LINEN
IN FRESH AIR AND SUNLIGHT.
COME ALONG, IF YOU LIKE.
LET'S GO.
ALL RIGHT,
IF YOU SO DESIRE,
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
TO REMAIN SILENT.
NOW, THAT'S MY RECIPE.
OH!
AND PLEASE COME BACK.
THANK YOU.
- SPASIBO, MAYNARD.
- YEAH.
MAYNARD, UH, DID THE
CITY'S VISITOR BUREAU
MAKE ARRANGEMENT FOR PAYMENT?
UH-UH.
[PHONE RINGS]
BOOK THIS CREEP.
CHARGE?
SOLICITING,
AND JUST BEING A DEGENERATE.
ROB, HOW ARE YOU DOING?
J.D.
YEAH, I'M GREAT, MAN.
HOW ABOUT...
ROB, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
YOU'VE GOT TO
HELP ME OUT, J.D.
OFFICER NICHOLS.
YOU KNOW THIS GUY?
WELL, YEAH, I DO.
HE'S A FAMILY MEMBER.
HE'S MY SISTER'S HUSBAND.
WELL, HE'S SICK.
HE NEEDS A LOT OF HELP.
ROB, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
OKAY, UH,
WHAT'S THE CHARGE?
SOLICITING.
COME ON, J.D.
"COME ON, J.D." WHAT?
DID HE APPROACH YOU?
YEAH, HE SURE DID.
OFFICER NICHOLS,
IS THERE ANY CHANCE
YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN
MISTAKEN?
I MEAN, THIS GUY IS
MARRIED TO MY SISTER.
I CAN'T BELIEVE HE'D-- OKAY,
MAYBE YOU MISUNDERSTOOD.
J.D., THE GUY ASKED ME TO
GIVE HIM WHIPPED CREAM
AND HOT FUDGE FOR 35 BUCKS.
I DON'T THINK
I MISUNDERSTOOD.
WHIPPED CREAM AND HOT FUDGE?
WHAT'S WHIPPED CREAM
AND HOT FUDGE?
J.D., YOU THINK YOU CAN--
WHIPPED CREAM AND HOT FUDGE?
BOOK HIM.
- BAD NEWS, FRANK.
- WHAT?
SHE'S COMING IN
ON AN EARLIER FLIGHT.
HOW MUCH EARLIER?
SHE'S STILL COMING IN ON
TUESDAY, ISN'T SHE?
TOMORROW, 1:30.
WONDERFUL.
I HAVE TO SAY,
I'M MORE THAN A LITTLE
IRRITATED WITH FAY.
I ASKED HER TO KEEP FRANK JR.
THIS WEEKEND.
SHE SAID NO?
SHE SAID
SHE NEEDED THE SPACE.
I'LL CALL HER.
I'M GOING TO SEND A CAB TO THE
AIRPORT FOR MOTHER, FRANK.
SHE'S GOING TO STAY WITH US.
WHAT ABOUT HER HOTEL?
IT'LL ONLY BE
A FEW NIGHTS.
SHE COULDN'T
GET A RESERVATION, OKAY?
OKAY.
TYRONE CRANE?
VANDALISM.
YOU'VE GOT A SPOT.
I'M NOT GOING
TO DO THIS. SEE YA.
SEE YA.
ARE YOU SURE
YOU'RE ALL RIGHT
WITH MOTHER STAYING WITH US
FOR A FEW NIGHTS?
OH, NO PROBLEM.
THERE'S GONNA BE
PLENTY OF ROOM,
BECAUSE AS SOON AS YOU LEAVE
HERE, I'M GONNA KILL MYSELF.
[LAUGHS]
ALL ALLEGED PERPETRATORS
MUST UNDERGO THIS
FINGERPRINTING PROCESS.
WHERE'S MY DOG?
WHERE IS HE?
HE'S IN THE RESTAURANT,
TYRONE. HE'S FINE.
I GOTTA SEE HIM.
HEY, NOW, TYRONE,
YOU TAKE IT EASY.
YOUR POOCH
IS GONNA BE ALL RIGHT,
BUT YOU'RE GONNA END UP SPENDING
THE CHRISTMAS SEASON
IN THE KENNEL IF YOU DON'T
STRAIGHTEN UP, YOU HEAR ME?
COME ON, NOW. GIVE ME THAT.
TAKE A WALK OVER HERE NOW.
HEY, AL.
JUST PHOTOGRAPHS, MS. DAVENPORT,
AND HE'S ALL YOURS.
NOW, MR. CRANE
AND HIS ATTORNEY
WILL COUNSEL US TO HIS
SITUATION,
WHICH IS
A PORTION OF THE PROCESS
THAT OUR CONSTITUTION
SAYS THAT WE CANNOT ATTEMPT,
AND I THOUGHT THAT
WE WOULD USE THE INTERPOL
TO TOUR THE REST OF THE
FACILITY, IF THAT PLEASES YOU.
SURE.
OH, GOOD.
UH, FOLLOW ME.
DO YOU HAVE FAMILY, TYRONE?
I LEFT WHEN MY--MY MA DIED.
WHAT ABOUT
BROTHERS AND SISTERS?
I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY IS.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO
HURT NOBODY.
I JUST WANTED TO GET
HIM HIS BONES.
I UNDERSTAND YOU CARE
FOR YOUR DOG, TYRONE,
BUT IT'S AGAINST THE LAW
TO DESTROY ANOTHER PERSON'S
PROPERTY.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?
YES.
YOU SEE A DOCTOR?
AT THE CLINIC.
I GET MEDICATION.
WHAT KIND?
TO CALM DOWN.
THE HERTEL CLINIC?
WHAT'S YOUR DOCTOR'S NAME?
DR. RAMESH.
HOW OFTEN ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO
SEE HIM?
TUESDAYS.
YOUR RECORD'S PRETTY CLEAN,
AND THE JUDGE DOESN'T
WANT TO HAVE PEOPLE
SPEND CHRISTMAS IN JAIL.
IT'S MY GUESS HE MIGHT
PUT YOU ON PROBATION
IF YOU MAKE RESTITUTION TO THE
MAN IN THE RESTAURANT.
YES, MA'AM.
I WOULD,
IF I COULD KEEP MY DOG.
NO ONE ELSE WANTS YOUR DOG,
TYRONE.
WOULD YOU PROMISE NOT TO CAUSE
ANY MORE TROUBLE OVER THERE?
YES, MA'AM.
THERE'LL BE AN ARRAIGNMENT IN A
LITTLE WHILE, IN COURT.
I'LL SEE YOU THERE.
THANK YOU.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, TYRONE.
NOW, UH, THIS OFFICER
IS IN CHARGE
OF OUR SUPPLEMENTARY
HOLDING FACILITY,
WHICH WE REFER TO
AS THE GARDEN LEVEL.
[CHUCKLES]
YOU TOTALLY BELIEVE, IN THE
FREE ENTERPRISE SYSTEM,
ANYONE CAN BECOME A SUCCESS.
OH, WITHOUT QUESTION.
WHY, LOOK AT MAYNARD, UH, OUR
HOST AT THAT RESTAURANT.
NOW, HERE IS A MAN
WITH THE EDUCATIONAL
AND ECONOMIC CARDS STACKED
AGAINST HIM,
AND YET HE'S KIND, HONORABLE,
HARD-WORKING.
NOW, YOU SEE, IN AMERICA, A MAN
WHO MAKES A BETTER MOUSETRAP
WILL ULTIMATELY SUCCEED.
DO YOU HEAR THIS, LUDMILLA?
IT IS LIKE MY BROTHER
IN PHOENIX I SPOKE TO YOU OF.
I DO NOT ASK
OF KONSTANTIN HERE,
SINCE KONSTANTIN
HAS EVERYTHING.
LIEUTENANT, WHAT WILL FINALLY
HAPPEN TO THE CRIMINAL?
OH, WELL, MR. CRANE
HAS A RIGHT TO A TRIAL
BY 12 OF HIS PEERS,
ALL OF WHOM
MUST VOTE TO CONVICT.
YES, BUT WE HAVE READ OF YOUR
PLEA BARGAINING SYSTEM.
WELL, IT'S TRUE HE MAY
BE GIVEN INDUCEMENTS
TO PLEAD GUILTY
TO A LESSER CHARGE.
UH, BELIEVE ME,
THIS IS A FLAW.
AND WILL BE NOT BE CONVICTED
SOLELY BECAUSE HE IS A BLACK?
UH, NO, NO, NOT FOR
THIS MINOR OFFENSE.
HE PROBABLY WON'T EVEN BE
CONVICTED AT ALL.
AS INSTINCTIVE BELIEVERS
IN THE INDIVIDUAL,
AS AGAINST THE COLLECTIVE,
WE SURROUND OUR DEFENDANTS
WITH PROTECTIONS.
[CELL DOOR SLAMS]
I DEMAND ASYLUM!
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
WHAT'S GOING ON?
SOMETHING WITH
THOSE RUSSIANS.
LATER FOR
THE RUSSIANS, NEAL.
THIS LITTLE SCENARIO
IS SHAPING UP
TO SATISFY MY TRANSPORTATION
NEEDS FOR THE NEXT DECADE.
UH, GIVE ME A COUPLE SECONDS,
MARTY, OKAY?
SO, UH, THEY'RE TAKING YOU
FOR ARRAIGNMENT, HUH?
MY LAWYER'S
MEETING ME THERE.
THINKS MAYBE WE CAN
BEAT IT ON ENTRAPMENT.
YEAH?
DID HE THINK HE COULD
GET TO THE NEWSPAPERS
AND THE RADIO STATIONS?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WELL, THEY'RE PUBLISHING
A JOHNS LIST NOW
AND READING THEIR NAMES
ON THE AIR--
YOU KNOW, THE GUYS WE'VE
ARRESTED FOR SOLICITING.
- NO.
- EVERY DAY.
LOOK, J.D., WE HAD OUR
DIFFERENCES IN THE PAST.
HEY, IN ANY CLOSE FAMILY,
THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN.
I'M TELLING YOU, J.D., I'M ON
THIN ICE WITH PEGGY NOW.
THIS'LL DO IT.
THE MARRIAGE WILL DROWN.
ALL RIGHT, LOOK.
MAYBE I OVERREACTED.
I MEAN,
IT WAS SUCH A SHOCK.
DO YOU WANT ME
TO SEE WHAT I CAN DO?
WOULD YOU?
I CAN TRY.
I'D BE GRATEFUL, MAN.
THE ONLY THING IS, I'VE BEEN
GETTING THESE VISIONS.
YEAH?
AT NIGHT, I KEEP SEEING
AUTOMOBILES, PRESIDENTS.
I CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT.
TRY.
WELL, MAYBE I'M SEEING
AUTOMOBILES
THAT ARE NAMED
FOR PRESIDENTS.
YEAH, LIKE THE ONE
WHO FREED THE SLAVES.
OKAY, A YEAR'S LEASE ON ME.
NO, I KEEP SEEING
AN OWNER'S SLIP
IN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT
THAT SAYS, "J.D. LARUE."
YOU SWINE.
OKAY, LINE UP FOR TRANSPORT
FOR ARRAIGNMENT.
HEY.
[KNOCKS]
COME ON.
OKAY, J.D.,
YOU'VE GOT IT.
ATTA BOY.
BUT, JEEZ, ROB,
I DON'T KNOW.
WHIPPED CREAM AND HOT FUDGE?
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE
OLD-FASHIONED BANANA SPLIT?
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
FOLLOW THE LINE HERE,
BUDDY.
HE WON'T COME OUT TILL
HE TALKS TO HIS BROTHER.
I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S A SPY.
HE DOESN'T LOOK
LIKE A SPY.
THE FBI IS
ON THEIR WAY, FRANK.
WHAT IN THE HELL HAPPENED?
TCHERCHENKO MUST HAVE BEEN
PLANNING THIS, FRANK.
HE'S THE ONE THAT ASKED
TO COME BACK HERE.
ARE WE GONNA LET HIM
MAKE HIS CALL?
WHAT CALL?
HIS BROTHER OWNS
A LIQUOR STORE IN PHOENIX.
HE WANTS TO CALL HIM.
ALL RIGHT, JUST KEEP THE GARDEN
LEVEL SEALED OFF.
NO DECISION ON ANY OF IT TILL
THE FBI GUYS GET HERE.
PRUDENT, FRANK,
IF NOT BOLD.
DIVISION WANTS AN OPEN LINE.
SET IT UP, RAY.
HENRY, LET'S KEEP THOSE
OTHER TWO RUSSIANS
COMFORTABLE AND ISOLATED.
LOW PROFILE, EVERYBODY.
NOTHING TO PRESS.
NOTHING.
NOTHING HAPPENED.
AT LEAST UNTIL
THE FBI GETS HERE.
COUNSEL APPROACH.
UH, YOU TOO,
OFFICERS, PLEASE.
I UNDERSTAND THERE'S
A HOSTAGE SITUATION
DEVELOPING AT HILL STREET.
A RUSSIAN?
WELL, YES, SIR, YOUR HONOR--
UH, JUDGE-- UH, BUT ACTUALLY,
IT'S NOTHING.
UH-HUH. WELL, WHAT DO WE HAVE
OVER THERE, OFFICERS?
HE GOT INTO A BEEF
AT A RESTAURANT, YOUR HONOR,
AND HE SMASHED
A DISPLAY CASE.
ONE PRIOR DISORDERLY.
HE'S RECEIVING LITHIUM TREATMENT
AT THE, UH, HERTEL CLINIC.
I CALLED HIS DOCTOR
ABOUT AN HOUR AGO.
HE DESCRIBED TYRONE
AS FAIRLY FLAKY.
WOULDN'T CLASSIFY HIM
"MAJOR RISK."
AND WHERE'S
OUR COMPLAINANT?
UM, I GUESS HE'S BUSY,
YOUR HONOR.
OFFICERS, ON A SCALE
OF ONE TO TEN--
IF I TOLD YOU THAT I'M INCLINED
TOWARDS CHARITY THIS SEASON--
HOW CRAZY IS THIS GUY?
OH, MAYBE A 6.
5 1/2.
5 1/2, 6.
OBJECTIONS TO ADJOURNMENT
AND CONTEMPLATION?
NONE, YOUR HONOR.
WELL, LET'S PROCEED.
WHAT MADE YOU SO UPSET IN THE
RESTAURANT, MR. CRANE?
WORRY FOR MY DOG.
MM-HMM.
THE CASE IS ADJOURNED IN
CONTEMPLATION OF DISMISSAL.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT,
YOUNG MAN?
IF YOU MISBEHAVE,
YOU WON'T GET ANOTHER CHRISTMAS
PRESENT FROM ME,
AND I'LL HAVE YOU
RIGHT BACK IN HERE.
AS IT IS, I'LL WANT YOU TO PAY
THE RESTAURANT FOR DAMAGES.
YES, SIR.
ALL RIGHT.
[GAVEL BANGS]
YOU'RE FREE TO GO, TYRONE.
CAN I GET MY DOG NOW?
DOCKET NUMBER J-3095,
ROBERT NELSON, 707 OF THE PENAL
CODE-- UNLAWFUL SOLICITATION.
COMPLAINANT'S OFFICER,
MARTHA NICHOLS.
YOU TELL ME?
WHIPPED CREAM AND HOT FUDGE.
IT'S POSSIBLE TO CONSTRUE
DEFENDANT'S REQUEST
AS INNOCUOUS.
NO MONEY CHANGED HANDS?
NONE DID, YOUR HONOR, AND I
ADMIT, I, UH,
I'VE BEEN IN THIS JOB
FOR FOUR YEARS,
BUT WHIPPED CREAM AND HOT FUDGE,
THAT'S A NEW ONE ON ME.
JUDGE, I KNOW
WHEN I'VE BEEN SOLICITED.
THAT KNOWLEDGE
NOTWITHSTANDING, OFFICER,
WITH LANGUAGE
AS AMBIGUOUS AS THIS,
YOU SHOULD HAVE WAITED
FOR THE CASH.
[GAVEL BANGS]
DISMISSED.
BIG SHOT.
HEY, WHAT TIME
THIS AFTERNOON
SHOULD I COME DOWN
TO THE LOT?
WHAT FOR?
WHAT'D YOU DO FOR ME?
I TOLD THE D.A.
IT WAS NOTHING.
EVEN THE JUDGE KNEW IT WAS
NOTHING.
THEY DON'T PUBLISH
THE NAMES OF THOSE ARRESTED--
JUST CONVICTED, RIGHT?
ROB, I TURNED THIS ONE
FOR YOU.
GET LOST.
LUNCHTIME!
CURTIS.
CHIPS.
COMING OUT.
GO AHEAD, CLOSE THE CURTAIN.
SEE IF I CARE.
THAT'S SARDINES.
THEY'RE ONIONS.
WHAT?
NOTHING.
YOU WANT HALF?
YEAH.
GO AHEAD.
THANK YOU.
UNIT 4, UNIT 4,
PLEASE RESPOND.
IT NEVER FAILS.
THIS IS UNIT 4,
GO AHEAD.
24-YEAR-OLD BLACK MALE
WITH ACUTE ABDOMINAL PAIN
AT 141 LIBERTY, APARTMENT 6.
GOT IT.
LET'S GO.
[SIREN]
[HORNS HONKING]
[SIREN]
HEY, I KNOW THIS BUILDING.
IT'S A SHOOTING GALLERY.
WE GET TEN CALLS A DAY
TO SHOOTING GALLERIES.
THEY HIT ME WITH A PIPE.
OKAY, TRY NOT TO MOVE OR TALK,
ALL RIGHT, PAL?
EVERYTHING'S
GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.
LOOK STRAIGHT AHEAD.
JEEZ, THEY'RE BREAKING IN
DOWN THERE.
GIVE ME A NECK BRACE.
[TIRES SQUEALING]
[GROANING]
FRANK, THIS IS AGENT RAMSEY,
FEDERAL BUREAU.
YES, I REMEMBER.
HOW ARE YOU?
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
HOW DO YOU DO?
NOW, HERE'S THE AGENDA.
I'LL INTERVIEW THE DEFECTOR.
YOU MAKE
A PRELIMINARY CALL
WHETHER HE'S GOT
INTELLIGENCE VALUE,
WHETHER HE'S POLITICAL, WHETHER
THE STATE STEPS IN OR WHAT.
NOW, WHICH OF THE OTHER
INDIVIDUALS
HAS TRIED TO
CALL HIS EMBASSY?
NEITHER ONE.
THAT'S WEIRD.
IN A DELEGATION, YOU ALWAYS
HAVE ONE KGB.
HE ALWAYS TRIES TO CALL HIS
EMBASSY.
TCHERCHENKO,
THE GUY WHO DEFECTED,
WANTS TO CALL
A BROTHER IN PHOENIX.
THAT'S FINE, FINE,
AS LONG AS I CAN LISTEN.
YOU GOT A SET-UP?
YEAH, WE SHOULD HAVE A PHONE
HOOK-UP IN FIVE MINUTES.
OKAY, GOOD.
CAN WE, UH, LISTEN,
SEE THE THING?
YEAH, COME ON.
OKAY.
SO, THE BROTHER IN PHOENIX,
IS HE NATURALIZED?
I DON'T KNOW.
YEAH, EXTENSION 4366.
GREAT. THANK YOU.
- MAYNARD.
- HEY, SORRY.
I WAS SO BUSY, I WASN'T ABLE TO
MAKE IT DOWNTOWN.
HEY, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
WELL, I HATE
NOT TO DO MY DUTY,
BUT, I MEAN, MY DUTIES ARE IN
THE RESTAURANT THIS WEEK.
MAYNARD, I EXPECT
YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT BOY
COOL HIS HEELS IN STIR DURING
CHRISTMASTIME.
WELL, THAT TOO, BUT, UH,
HE DIDN'T REALLY DO
THAT MUCH DAMAGE.
HE'S SUPPOSED TO MAKE
RESTITUTION.
IF HE DOESN'T, OR HE CAUSES
YOU ANY MORE TROUBLES--
I KNOW JUST WHO TO CALL.
THANK YOU.
NOW, I BROUGHT A FEW ITEMS.
AND MERRY CHRISTMAS.
HEY, MERRY CHRISTMAS,
MAYNARD.
OOH, BOBBY HILL,
I JUST DIED
AND PASSED ON THROUGH
THE PEARLY GATES.
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
HIS BROTHER OWNS
A LIQUOR STORE.
TCHERCHENKO FIGURES
HE'S MADE IT EASY.
UH, THE BROTHER
TRIES TO EXPLAIN
IT'S MORE OF A
MOM-AND-POP SET-UP.
TCHERCHENKO CAN'T BELIEVE IT,
AND SAYS,
"ANTON, IN YOUR LETTERS, YOU
SPOKE OF SO MUCH BUSINESS."
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
YES, I SAY IT IN YOUR ENGLISH.
YOU ARE NO BLOOD OF MINE.
[HANGS UP]
CAN YOU BELIEVE,
MY OWN BROTHER,
A RICH, LUCKY FELLOW,
AND DELIVERY BOY I MUST BE.
THIS IS AGENT RAMSEY OF OUR
FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION.
YES, OF COURSE, FBI.
HE HAS SOME QUESTIONS.
YES, OF COURSE.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS.
EXCUSE ME.
FRANK, I'M SORRY I DIDN'T GET
BACK TO YOU SOONER.
I'VE BEEN RUNNING AROUND LIKE
CRAZY ALL DAY.
SAY, LISTEN, WE HAVE A REAL
PROBLEM.
JOYCE'S MOTHER IS ARRIVING
TOMORROW.
I CAN'T, FRANK.
I'M SORRY.
I MEAN,
I ALREADY TOLD JOYCE.
I GOT PLANS OF MY OWN
FOR THE WEEKEND.
THE WHOLE WEEKEND?
YEAH.
I'M GOING OUT OF TOWN.
ALONE?
NO.
SOMEBODY NEW IN YOUR LIFE?
YEAH.
LOOK, UM, ALL RIGHT,
I'LL--I'LL TAKE HIM.
NO. NO, I DIDN'T KNOW.
I, UH...
I'M TAKING THE BABY ANYWAY,
YOU KNOW, SO...
LET ME TRY TO WORK
SOMETHING OUT HERE.
THE LAST THING
IN THE WORLD YOU NEED
IS A COUPLE OF KIDS ALONG,
MESSING UP A ROMANTIC WEEKEND.
NO, NO, NO. REALLY, FRANK,
IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
I MEAN, THANK GOD,
THIS MAN'S AN ADULT.
MEANING, I'M NOT?
DON'T BE SO SENSITIVE.
I WAS THINKING OF PAUL GROGAN.
ANYHOW, LISTEN, IT'S GONNA BE
ALL OKAY. I'LL WORK IT OUT.
YOU SURE?
SURE.
I REALLY APPRECIATE IT, FAY.
THIS GUY SOUNDS SPECIAL.
HE IS.
BYE, FRANK.
THAT'S THE INFORMATION I HAVE.
IT'S OVER. YEAH. BYE-BYE.
- HI.
- HI.
GOT A MINUTE?
YEAH.
PROBLEM?
FRANK'S MOTHER-IN-LAW'S COMING
IN TOWN TOMORROW,
AND APPARENTLY, THERE'S SOME
SORT OF HOTEL SCREW-UP.
ANYHOW, SHE'S GOT TO
STAY WITH THEM
SO THEY CAN'T KEEP FRANK JR.
FOR THE WEEKEND.
NO PROBLEM. WE'RE TAKING THE
BABY. WE'LL TAKE HIM TOO.
YEAH, AND THE NEXT TIME
HE SEES HIS FATHER,
HE'LL TELL HIM ALL ABOUT US.
AH.
SO, UH,
I GUESS WE SHOULD CANCEL?
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
NOW, LISTEN TO ME, FAY,
WE WANT TO BE TOGETHER.
I WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING
BEHIND A CLOSED DOOR
I WOULDN'T ACKNOWLEDGE
OUTSIDE OF IT.
IF YOU WANT, I'LL GO
TELL HIM RIGHT NOW.
NO. LISTEN, HE'S GONNA
KNOW SOON ENOUGH ANYHOW.
IT'S JUST THAT, YOU KNOW, FOR
RIGHT NOW, IT'S OUR SECRET.
I WANT TO KEEP IT
A LITTLE LONGER.
SEE YOU.
COME, LUCE, A MONTH ON
THE STREET IS ONLY TEMPORARY.
IT'D BETTER BE
ONLY TEMPORARY.
472 EAST UTICA.
BACKUPS WILL MEET YOU THERE.
YOU MAY CALL YOUR EMBASSY
NOW IF YOU WISH.
THANK YOU.
WE HAVE A TELEPHONE
THAT YOU CAN USE.
THANK YOU, BUT I DESIRE TO TALK
TO TCHERCHENKO. THAT IS ALL.
WELL, NYET, MY FRIEND.
JUST NOW, HE'S COMPLETING
PRELIMINARY INTERVIEWS
ON HIS LONELY PATHWAY
TO FREEDOM.
I CAN'T FIGURE THIS ONE OUT.
DID HE SAY WHAT HE WANTS?
THERE'S ALWAYS
ABOUT 5% OF THEM,
THEY DON'T KNOW
WHAT THEY WANT.
THEY APPLY FOR ASYLUM.
SIX MONTHS LATER, THEY REAPPLY.
THEY WANT TO GO BACK AGAIN.
WE'VE DONE 12 OF THESE,
PREVIOUS.
NEVER HAD ONE LIKE THIS.
NO POLITICAL MOTIVE.
THROWS HIS ONE ECONOMIC MOTIVE
OUT THE WINDOW.
GOT NOTHING TO OFFER OF VALUE.
THE GUY'S SO OFF THE WALL.
IF HE'S A KGB, SEE, IT'D
BE THE TRICK OF THE YEAR.
IF I HAD TO GUESS,
I'D SAY HE'S IN THAT 5%.
CAN WE GET RID OF HIM?
I WANT MY SUPERVISOR
TO EVALUATE IT FIRST.
I TELL YOU, A GUY LIKE THIS, IT
WOULD BE AN EMBARRASSMENT
TO LET HIM IN ON OTHER THAN
ORDINARY IMMIGRATION.
[KNOCKING]
CAPTAIN, PLEASE.
I SENSE YOU ARE
A VERY KIND MAN.
I'M APPEALING
TO YOUR PERSONAL MERCY.
HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
I WOULD LIKE THE PERMISSION TO
SPEAK WITH TCHERCHENKO.
I'M AFRAID WE CAN'T DO THAT
UNTIL WE DETERMINE HIS STATUS.
BUT HIS DESIRE
TO DEFECT IS NOT GENUINE.
PLEASE BELIEVE ME.
TCHERCHENKO'S PROBLEM
IS WITH ME.
WELL, WE HAVE TO
TAKE HIM AT HIS WORD, MA'AM.
BUT HE'LL CHANGE HIS WORD IN
THREE OR FIVE DAYS,
AND THEN HE AND I AND
KONSTANTIN,
ALL OF US ARE GOING TO BE IN
VERY BIG DIFFICULTY.
THAT'S WHY NO ONE
HAS CALLED THE EMBASSY YET.
WE WILL SPEAK IN ENGLISH.
WE'LL HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE.
UH...
I'M NO EXPERT.
WHAT DO WE HAVE TO LOSE HERE?
YOU SAID YOURSELF, THE GUY
COULD BE AN EMBARRASSMENT.
I'D HAVE TO BE THERE.
FINE.
[SIRENS]
THEN WHAT HAPPENED?
HE SAID
WE TRIED TO POISON HIM.
MAYBE JUST BORROWED
SOME WATER, YOU KNOW.
AND THEN
HE STARTED SCREAMING,
AND MAYNARD WENT TO TRY
TO CALM HIM DOWN.
AND THE BOY PICKED UP THE BAT
AND CUTTING KNIFE
AND STABBED HIM.
ALL RIGHT.
MAYNARD HAD HIS HANDS UP.
HE WAS TRYING TO
KEEP HIM OFF,
BUT THE BOY JUST KEPT STABBING
HIM AND STABBING HIM.
[TIRES SCREECH]
WHAT HAPPENED?
HE'S DEAD.
WHO?
MAYNARD.
SOME CRAZY GUY STABBED HIM.
A TALL GUY WITH A DOG?
YEAH, HE HAD A DOG, YES.
WHAT HAPPENED, BELKER?
SOMEBODY STABBED MAYNARD.
146 WALNUT. THEY HAVE HIM
CORNERED IN A BASEMENT.
HE'S GOT A GUN.
ALL RIGHT, GO!
[SIRENS]
WE GOT A LOOK.
YOU WENT DOWN THERE?
YEP.
- DID HE FIRE?
- YEAH, ONE SHOT.
TYRONE?
TYRONE CRANE.
TYRONE.
LEAVE ME ALONE!
TYRONE, WE DON'T WANT TO HURT
YOU. JUST THROW OUT THE GUN.
WE KNOW YOU'RE UPSET, AND WE
WANT TO GET YOU SOME HELP.
THAT'S IT. WATCH IT!
RUN AWAY, DOG, RUN!
TYRONE, STOP IT!
[GUNSHOT]
TYRONE!
[GUNFIRE]
[DOG WHINES]
THAT LOOKS CLEAN.
[DOG BARKS AND WHINES]
SOON, IT CAN
ALL BE TOO LATE.
I DON'T CARE.
YOU'RE JUST SAYING THAT.
YOU DON'T THINK
OF CONSEQUENCES, MISCHA
I THINK OF THEM.
PERHAPS IT IS YOU
WHO DO NOT.
EXPLAIN.
PERHAPS IT IS YOU
WHO DO NOT.
I SAY IT.
LET US SPEAK FRANKLY WHILE WE
STILL HAVE THIS CHANCE.
I HAVE SAID SO.
FINISH!
DOES THIS CONCERN LOVE?
DOES IT CONCERN
KONSTANTIN?
YOU SLEPT WITH THAT SNAKE!
THAT COLD FRAUD!
MISCHA, PLEASE, FORGIVE ME.
I LOVE ONLY YOU.
NO, YOU DO NOT LOVE ME.
WE HAVE DIFFICULTIES,
I KNOW.
WE CAN RESOLVE THIS.
KONSTANTIN UNDERSTANDS MY LOVE
FOR YOU. HE UNDERSTANDS--
HOW COULD YOU?
HOW COULD?
[BOTH SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
MISCHA, WE CAN STILL TRY TO
RESOLVE THIS.
YOU AND I, ALONE.
NO KONSTANTIN.
WHAT WAS THE RUSSIAN?
UH, IT'S PERSONAL.
IT INVOLVES KONSTANTIN?
WE'RE JUST KGB!
LUDMILLA, SPEAK FRANKLY.
KONSTANTIN?
EXCUSE ME.
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
WHAT WAS THE RUSSIAN?
UH, THE GUY'S GOT A LITTLE
PROBLEM IN THE SACK.
"TOO PROMPT."
THAT WAS THE WORD HE USED.
"TOO PROMPT."
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN QUIETLY]
NOTHING TO DEFECT ABOUT.
MANASCHVILI.
EXCUSE ME, SIR.
I JUST HEARD OF YOUR
OCCUPATIONAL ASSIGNMENT.
I'LL HAVE TO
ASK YOU TO REMAIN
IN OFFICER BALLANTINE'S
COMPANY
FOR THE DURATION
OF YOUR STAY.
SHE IS BACK WITH HIM?
EXCUSE ME?
LUDMILLA.
SHE HAS RECONCILED
WITH TCHERCHENKO?
UM, THAT SEEMS TO BE
THE DRIFT OF THINGS, YES.
HEH. HEY, THERE'S PLENTY
OF TUNA IN THE SEA.
[BOTH SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
I DO NOT WISH TO DEFECT NOW.
I AM SORRY.
I WISH ONLY TO CONTINUE
OUR TOUR OF AMERICA.
IF IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THIS
NOT TO BECOME
AN INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT,
WE WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL,
CAPTAIN.
NO ONE OF US WOULD WISH
TO TELL OUR GOVERNMENT.
I CAN'T GUARANTEE THE PRESS,
MISS MOROS,
BUT I HAVE NO HOTLINE
TO YOUR EMBASSY, SO--
- THANK YOU.
- THANK YOU.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
HEY, ROB.
OH, PEG, HOW ARE YOU?
SAD.
I BROUGHT PEG DOWN HERE
SO YOU COULD EXPLAIN IT
TO HER, J.D.
EXPLAIN WHAT?
SOMEBODY TELEPHONED
AND TOLD HER
THAT I HAD BEEN ARRESTED
IN A POLICE SWEEP.
SOMEBODY TOLD YOU THAT?
HE WOULDN'T
GIVE ME HIS NAME.
HE SAID ROB MADE
A FILTHY REQUEST.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT,
BUT THEN, WHEN I CALLED HERE,
THEY SAID
HE'D BEEN ARRESTED.
I TOLD HER IT HAD TO BE SOME
KIND OF STREET SCUM,
SOMEBODY WHO'D DO
ANYTHING FOR 5 BUCKS.
YEAH, YOU'RE
PROBABLY RIGHT.
HEY, IT WAS PROBABLY
A PRACTICAL JOKE.
IT IS NOT A PRACTICAL JOKE.
THE, UH, TACKY OFFICER TOLD ME.
[CRYING]
[SIGHS]
GOT VISION PROBLEMS, J.D.?
YEAH.
TELL HER.
THEY'LL CLEAR UP.
YOU MEAN, TELL HER?
TELL HER, J.D.
BOY, YOU'VE GOT
SOME GUTS, ROB.
HEY, THIS GUY--THIS GUY TRUSTS
YOU ALL THE WAY, PEG.
NOW, BABY, LISTEN, YOU GOTTA
SWEAR NOT TO TELL.
OKAY, IT'S--IT'S AN ONGOING
POLICE ACTION.
NOW, WE'VE BEEN WORRIED
THAT MAYBE SOME OF THE FEMALE
UNDERCOVER VICE WERE LIKE,
WELL, FREELANCING,
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
LIKE, TRYING TO PICK UP A COUPLE
EXTRA BUCKS ON THE SIDE.
NOW, THE CHIEF WANTED US TO FIND
SOME OUTSIDE FACES
TO PRETEND THEY WERE JOHNS.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
LIKE, GUYS THAT
THERE WAS NO CHANCE
THE VICE COPS
COULD RECOGNIZE.
HEAVEN HELP ME,
I THOUGHT OF ROB.
ROB, THE CHIEF WANTS TO
GIVE YOU A COMMENDATION.
I ONLY HOPE THAT THE COST
HASN'T BEEN TOO HIGH.
YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT
I THOUGHT, J.D.
WELL, HELL YEAH. HEY, IT'S WHAT
WE WANTED THEM TO THINK.
GO WASH YOUR FACE NOW.
RIGHT NOW, ALL RIGHT?
A MILLION LAUGHS, LARUE.
OKAY, OKAY,
TAKE IT EASY, MARTY, COME ON.
SAY, IF I SEE YOU
ON THE STREET, PAL,
YOU JUST BETTER HAVE
YOUR STUFF TOGETHER.
GET STRICT WITH ME.
I'LL BUST YOU RIGHT NOW!
BABY, HEY!
YOU THINK IT'S FUNNY?
HELL NO!
MARTY, IT'S BEEN
A ROTTEN DAY.
LET'S--LET'S JUST GO GET SOME
DINNER, OKAY?
OKAY.
USED CUTLASS, THREE-YEAR LEASE,
NO MAINTENANCE.
BITCH, AND I'LL PUT
A BOMB IN IT.
WHERE DO I FIND THIS?
BROWN, OUT FRONT.
HEY, YOU'RE A SWEETHEART.
SEE YOU, KIDS, HUH?
DO YOU HAVE ALL YOUR
POSSESSIONS?
YES, THANK YOU, AND WE
MUST SAY AGAIN,
WE ARE DEEPLY SORRY
FOR YOUR FRIEND MAYNARD.
FREEDOM SOMETIMES EXACTS
HORRIBLE PRICES.
CAPTAIN, I HOPE YOU DO
NOT THINK WE ARE CLOWNS,
IN THE FACE OF SUCH A SAD LOSS,
TO BE TAKING UP YOUR TIME
WITH WHAT IT MUST SEEM TO YOU
SUCH A FOOLISH QUARREL.
OF COURSE NOT.
I HOPE YOU TWO
CAN WORK OUT YOUR PROBLEMS.
WE'LL TRY.
GOOD LUCK.
COME ON. SEE, IT'S NICE
IN HERE, HUH?
YOU DON'T THINK
HE'S GOT FLEAS, DO YOU?
NO. FORGET ABOUT IT.
OH, GOOD BOY.
[DOG WHINING]
OH, I'M GONNA KEEP HIM.
YEAH?
YEAH.
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA NAME HIM?
SARGE. THEN, AT LEAST ONE OF US
WILL HAVE RANK.
GOD, FRANK, WHAT DID I DO?
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
OH, IT'S NOT ALL RIGHT.
ONE OF MY CLIENTS
COMMITTED A MURDER.
YOU DON'T HAVE
A CRYSTAL BALL, JOYCE.
NONE OF US HAS.
HE WAS SUCH A SWEET MAN.
AND HE'S GONE,
AND IT'S TRAGIC.
AND I GOT THE MAN RELEASED
WHO KILLED HIM.
IN CONSCIENCE, AND WITH GOOD
INTENTIONS, AND I'M SURE,
WITH COMPASSION AND CONCERN
FOR HIS WELFARE.
I CALLED HIS DOCTOR. HIS DOCTOR
THOUGHT HE'D BE ALL RIGHT.
SO DID YOU.
IT'S WHAT YOU HOPED.
IT'S WHAT EVERYBODY HOPED.
WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO, JOYCE?
[SIREN]
LOOK LIKE A CANDIDATE TO YOU,
SARGE?
I GOT A LITTLE FEELING
ABOUT THIS ONE.
ALL RIGHT,
THE BABY'S COMING NOW.
HURRY UP, THE BABY IS COMING!
HURRY, THE BABY IS COMING!
YOU GO AHEAD.
I'LL BE RIGHT WITH YOU.
UNIT 4 REQUESTS POLICE
ASSISTANCE, 619 MICHIGAN.
REQUEST BACKUP.
17, 18.
OKAY, OKAY, OKAY.
ALL RIGHT,
IS SOMEBODY WITH HER?
YEAH, HER SISTER,
BUT YOU'VE GOT TO HURRY.
[GUN COCKS]
BE COOL.
BE COOL.
EASY, EASY.
JUST TELL US WHAT TO DO.
YOU, GET THE KEYS.
DROP THE BOXES.
ALL WE WANT
IS YOUR STUFF, MAN.
ALL RIGHT,
JUST TAKE IT EASY.
NO TALKING!
NO TALKING, NO TALKING!
[SIRENS]
JIMMY! JIMMY!
[SIRENS]

CURTIS!
[SIRENS]
HURRY! COME ON, MOVE!

[SIREN]
IT HURTS.
I KNOW, MAN.
TAKE IT EASY.
I'VE GOT YOU NOW, MAN,
I'VE GOT YOU NOW.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
NO, NOBODY DIES!
[SIREN]
HE'S BLEEDING BAD!

[GROWLS]
I GOT YOU, MAN,
I GOT YOU.
[SIREN]
WHERE ARE WE?
100TH AND DECKER!
COME ON, CURTIS, HANG ON.
[SIREN]
HANG ON.
ARE WE THERE?
HOLD ON!
[SIREN]
I'VE GOT YOU,
I'VE GOT YOU.
[BRAKES SCREECH]
HE'S LOST ABOUT TWO UNITS,
BUT HIS BP IS HOLDING AT 100.
OKAY, I'VE GOT HIM.
TOTAL SCORE, 24.
DON'T WORRY,
I'LL TAKE CARE OF HIM.
NO MEDS, NO ALLERGIES!
IS HE GONNA BE ALL RIGHT?
HE OUGHT TO BE.
[EXHALES]
CURTIS IS MY TIGHT.
I KNOW.
I UNDERSTAND THAT.
I--I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU, MAN.
[LAUGHS]
WHAT?
[BOTH LAUGHING]
YOU BROKE MY RECORD.
[LAUGHS]
THANKS A LOT.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
THANKS, MAN.
