- OH! OH!
- OH YEAH.
MAYORAL CANDIDATE FISK'S RESOLVE
TO MOVE INTO THE DANTE PROJECTS
APPEARS UNSHAKEABLE.
IT'S THE LIVING CONDITIONS
OF THESE PEOPLE
IN THE PROJECTS THAT
I'M CONCERNED WITH.
DEPUTY CHIEF MAHONEY
IS A FACT OF YOUR LIFE.
HE'S YOUR SUPERIOR.
UNTIL THIS ELECTION,
EVERY DAY, IF I'VE GOT TO,
I'M GONNA COME UP AND HERE
AND CHANGE YOUR DIAPERS.
HOW WOULD YOU
FEEL IF YOU FOUND OUT
THAT THE GRILLWORK
ON THESE WINDOWS
HASN'T BEEN
INSPECTED IN OVER... AHH!
AND NOW, TONIGHT ON
"HILL STREET BLUES"&
&CRIME-INFESTED
AREAS LIKE THE RED ZONE
THAT WE'VE NOW GIVEN
OVER TO THE CRIMINALS
AND SMUT PEDDLERS.
OZZIE CLEVELAND'S
A REAL NICE GUY.
I JUST DON'T SEE HIM AS
THE MAYOR OF THE CITY.
THEY CAN DO ANYTHING
THEY WANT TO ME
IF IT BRINGS MY BABY BACK!
I KILLED HIM!
THE ARRAIGNMENT'S
THIS AFTERNOON.
SHE'S IN CUSTODY UNTIL THEN.
YOU'LL HAVE TIME
TO SHAVE HER HEAD
AND TATTOO A NUMBER ON HER ARM.
I WANT SOME OF
YOUR PEOPLE, FRANK,
UNDERCOVER IN ONE
OF THOSE SEX PALACES.
I'M GONNA HIRE COPS?
FOUR OF US.
SO, UH, ED.
ANYTHING YOU WANT
TO TALK TO ME ABOUT?
WANT TO TALK TO ME
ABOUT YOUR PROBLEM?
YOU RAIDED A PORNO SUPERMARKET
IN MIDTOWN THIS MORNING.
IT'S A CHEAP, SHODDY
ATTEMPT TO PUT A FEATHER
IN CANDIDATE DANIELS'
CAP ON ELECTION DAY.
TAKE IT EASY.
WOULD YOU LIKE A POPSICLE?
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE?
BANANA.
POLICE.
WHO'S THERE?
ITEM NINE.
FATHER TIME, LADIES
AND GENTLEMEN,
IS A FICKLE COMRADE.
HE SEDUCES US WITH HIS
APPARENT STEADFASTNESS,
YET GIVES HIS
ALLEGIANCE TO NO ONE.
COUNCILMAN BENJAMIN FISK
CAMPAIGNED ON AN
AGENDA FOR THE FUTURE.
NOW MR. FISK IS DEAD.
AND TIME, AS IS ITS WONT,
MOVES RELENTLESSLY ONWARD,
AS DOES THE PROGRESSIVE
COALITION PARTY,
WHOSE EMERGENCY
MEETING LAST NIGHT
PRODUCED A NEW
MAYORAL CANDIDATE,
OZZIE CLEVELAND.
WHOA!
OZZIE NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION.
HE'S A DISTINGUISHED
COMMANDER FROM MIDTOWN,
WINNER OF THREE MEDALS OF VALOR
AND FORMER PRESIDENT OF
THE BLACK OFFICERS' COALITION.
YEAH.
NOW THE NOMINATION
OF ONE OF OUR OWN
MAKES TWO OF OUR
OWN WITH A CRAFT
IN THE MAYORAL WATERS.
IT'S A SAFE BET THE
POLITICAL CURRENTS
WILL BE SWIFT.
LET'S ALL NAVIGATE WITH CAUTION.
ITEM TEN.
THIS WEEK'S DYSFUNCTION SEMINAR
WILL COMMENCE AT 9 A.M. SATURDAY
AT BRIGHTON STATE
COLLEGE, ENTITLED "WHY ME?"
"IMPOTENCE AND FRIGIDITY

ITEM 11.
AS A FINAL NOTE, AS
REGARDS THE WEATHER
AND OTHER PLANETARY CONDITIONS
THIS BLUSTERY AUTUMNAL DAY,
HIGH WINDS, PEOPLE, THAT BLOW
AND CRACK YOUR CHEEKS.
ON THE PREVIOUS
TOUR, OFFICER LIPSKY,
WHILE GAZING AT THE FULL MOON,
WAS STRUCK BY AN AIRBORNE SIGN
TORN FROM THE EDIFICE
OF ACE KADENSKY'S
BOILER SERVICE.
NOW, THE IMPACT OF
SAID ADVERTISEMENT
UPON OFFICER LIPSKY'S
UNSUSPECTING DOME,
REQUIRING 17 STITCHES.
OUR CONDOLENCES
TO OFFICER LIPSKY.
AND LET US REMIND OURSELVES
THAT THOUGH CRIME,
BELEAGUED BY THE UNEXPECTED
WIND CHILL FACTOR IS DOWN,
IT IS UP, BECAUSE
OF THE FULL MOON,
WHICH MEANS IT WILL
REMAIN THE SAME.
AND THAT IS SUFFICIENT
FOR OUR PURPOSES.
ALL RIGHT, THAT'S
IT, LET'S ROLL.
AND HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY!
LET'S BE CAREFUL OUT THERE, HUH?
I'LL TELL YOU, NEAL.
OZZIE CLEVELAND'S
A REAL NICE GUY,
I JUST DON'T SEE HIM AS
THE MAYOR OF THE CITY.
WHITE MAN'S JOB, RIGHT, J.D.?
HEY, DID I SAY THAT?
DIDN'T HAVE TO, BABY.
COME ON, MAN, GIVE ME A
LITTLE CREDIT, ALL RIGHT?
I GOT SERIOUS
RESERVATIONS ABOUT THE MAN
IN THE LEADERSHIP DEPARTMENT.
THAT DOES NOT
MAKE ME A KLANSMAN.
IT DON'T MAKE YOU RIGHT, EITHER.
MAN, YOU HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN
FOLLOWING THE CAMPAIGN.
HEY, I'VE BEEN
WATCHING IT ON THE TUBE,
NOT WEARING IT ON MY SLEEVE.
I'M GOING TO TELL YOU
SOMETHING, WISE GUY,
YOU'RE LOOKING AT A
MAN WHO'S GONNA VOTE.
GOODY, WE'LL PIN A ROSE ON YOU.
HEY, BELIEVE IT, DAD.
I MEAN, WHAT DO YOU NEED,
A DRIVER'S LICENSE, RIGHT?
HEY, BOBBY.
SEE, THE HOUSE IS
OUT OF FORECLOSURE.
ALL RIGHT, MIKE.
YOU SAVED THE WHOLE
SITUATION FOR ME, MAN.
- MY WIFE WAS ALL...
- HEY, LOOK,
I'M JUST HAPPY THAT
YOU'RE LOOKING TALL.
THANKS.
I MUST CONFESS, RAYMUNDO.
THE CURRENT FAD
OF ELECTING MAYORS
WITH THE LAST NAMES
OF FORMER GENERALS
AND PRESIDENTS IN
YOUR MAJOR URBAN AREAS,
IS ONE THAT CAUSES
ME SOME DISTRESS.
HOW IS THAT, HOWARD?
WELL, JUDAS.
YOU GOT WASHINGTON IN CHICAGO,
YOU GOT BRADLEY OUT IN THE WEST,
AND NOW YOU GOT
CLEVELAND RIGHT HERE
IN OUR ENVIRONMENT.
I MEAN, THEY ARE USURPERS.
THEY'RE TRADING ON THE NAMES
OF OUR GREAT DEAD HEROES.
THEY DIDN'T EXACTLY
USURP THEIR NAMES, HOWARD.
THEY HAD THEIR REAL NAMES
STOLEN FROM THEM.
YES.
I SAW THAT PROGRAM.
WE HAVE A 911.

CHIEF.
RAY?
I HAVE SPENT LONG NIGHTS
THINKING ABOUT YOUR PROMISE.
REFRESH MY
RECOLLECTION HERE, RAY.
OF THE CAPTAINCY.
AH, REST EASY.
FIRST VACANCY GOES TO CALLETANO.
IT'S NOT ENOUGH.
BEG YOUR PARDON?
YOU MUST PROMISE MORE.
YOU WANT TO BE GOVERNOR, RAY?
I WANT A JOBS PROGRAM
FOR MINORITY YOUTH.
I WANT BOLIVIAR PARK REOPENED.
I WANT BILINGUAL EDUCATION.
I AM NOT IN A POSITION
TO GIVE CHAPTER
AND VERSE COMMITMENTS
QUITE RIGHT NOW, RAY.
WHAT I CAN ASSURE
IS MY GOOD OFFICE IS...
THAT'S NOT ENOUGH.
I WANT CHAPTER AND VERSE.
WELL, WHAT THE HELL'S
CLEVELAND OFFERING, LAD?
CAUSE I'VE YET TO SEE THE MAN
BE SPECIFIC ABOUT ANYTHING.
YOU WANT ME TO FIND OUT
WHAT CLEVELAND IS OFFERING?
THAT SOUNDS LIKE A THREAT, RAY.
I DON'T RESPOND WELL TO THREATS.
I AM TRYING TO TELL
YOU THAT PROMISING
ME CAREER ADVANCEMENT IS NOT...
YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING ON
THE TABLE I INTEND TO OFFER.
IF I WERE YOU, I'D MAKE DO.
EXCUSE ME.
RAY.
- GOOD MORNING, FRANK.
- CHIEF.
JUST CAUGHT MY WORTHY OPPONENT
ON ONE OF THOSE
MORNING WAKE-UP SHOWS.
SO DID I.
IS THAT SO?
HMM, I'LL HAVE TO GIVE
YOU MORE TO DO UP HERE.
I DROPPED BY THE
HOSPITAL TO VISIT FAY.
SHE HAD IT ON.
HOW IS SHE, HOW'S
THE LITTLE ONE?
BOTH FINE, COMING HOME SOON.
AND WHAT DID YOU THINK OF OZZIE?
AH, BUNCH OF
STUMBLING GENEROSITIES.
IT'S ALMOST EMBARRASSING.
BUT NOW, HE DID DREDGE
UP THE RED ZONE, FRANK.
AND MY OPINION GUY
SAYS THAT I MIGHT HAVE
A LITTLE VULNERABILITY
ON THE SMUT ISSUE.
THE RED ZONE IS
IN MIDTOWN, CHIEF.
WE'RE ALL ONE CITY, FRANK.
LET'S NOT INVOKE PETTY
PAROCHIAL DISTINCTIONS.
I DON'T WANT MIDTOWN COPS.
THAT'S OZZIE'S PRECINCT.
NO, I WANT SOME OF
YOUR PEOPLE, FRANK,
UNDERCOVER IN ONE
OF THOSE SEX PALACES.
MY PEOPLE HAVE
BEEN DOUBLE-SHIFTING
FOR TWO MONTHS
TRYING TO KEEP THE LID
ON A GANG WAR.
FRANK, IN ADDITION TO CATERING
TO EVERY WARPED
MIND IN THE CITY,
THESE PLACES ARE YOUR
BASIC FIVE AND DIMES
FOR FENCING DRUGS.
NOW, I WANT SOME
BUSTS DOWN THERE.
MONDAY AT THE LATEST.
MONDAY AT 4 P.M.?
4 P.M. WOULD BE PERFECT.
EVENING NEWS THE
NIGHT BEFORE WE VOTE.
AND IF I TOLD YOU
THAT THIS OPERATION
COMMENCED A WEEK AGO...
JUST DON'T WANT
OZZIE ACCUSING ME
OF REACTING TO HIS NONSENSE.
COMES CLOSE TO POLITICIZING
THIS DEPARTMENT'S
ACTIVITIES, DON'T YOU THINK?
THIS AIN'T HORSESHOES, CAPTAIN.
GET YOUR PEOPLE DOWN THERE.
I'M GONNA WIN THIS
ELECTION, FRANK.
PEOPLE.
PORNOGRAPHY IS A BOG,
A QUAGMIRE FROM
WHICH LAW ENFORCEMENT
SELDOM RETURNS WITH ITS PREY,
AND ACCORDINGLY,
OPERATION TENDERLOIN
WILL TAKE AS ITS OBJECTIVES
THOSE BOTTOM DWELLERS WHO THRIVE
IN SMUT'S HABITAT.
THE DRUG DEALERS,
THE TRAFFICKERS,
AND STOLEN ARTICLES...
WE'RE AFTER PUSHERS AND FENCES,
RIGHT, LIEUTENANT?
CORRECT.
OUR TARGET IS
MURRAY'S WONDERLAND,
A VERITABLE
SUPERMARKET OF FILTH.
NOW, HOWEVER
UNPLEASANT THIS MAY BE,
SOME OF YOU ARE GOING
TO HAVE TO TAKE ON
THE COLORATIONS
OF THAT ENVIRONMENT.
SOME OF YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO
TAKE JOBS AT MURRAY'S.
NOW, OBVIOUSLY, OUR
FIRST CONCERN IS TO SECURE
THE COOPERATION
OF THE PROPRIETOR.
HUH, MURRAY?
HE'LL HAVE TO HIRE
SOME OF YOU ON.
NOW I THOUGHT...
LIEUTENANT, UH, LIEUTENANT?
TRUST US, OKAY?
WE'LL SET IT UP WITH MURRAY.
WHAT, ARE YOU CRAZY?
I'M GONNA HIRE COPS?
FOUR OF US.
WE'RE NOT GONNA
HASSLE YOUR CUSTOMERS.
WE WANT TRAFFICKERS.
DEALERS AND FENCERS.
AND WHAT ABOUT MY EMPLOYEES?
I GOT PEOPLE BEEN WITH
ME TWO AND THREE MONTHS.
GIVE THEM A COUPLE DAYS OFF.
PAID VACATION.
DO IT, MURRAY, IT BEATS
THE HELL OUT OF PLAN B.
- WHICH IS WHAT?
- YOU DON'T WANNA KNOW.
OH, YEAH, I DO!
OKAY.
YEAH, PITBULL,
PITBULL, THIS IS TOP DOG.
PLAY HIM A FEW BARS.
AW, COME ON.
NO GOOD, THIS IS NO GOOD.
I'M CALLING MY MOUTHPIECE.
OKAY, WE'LL HASSLE YOUR TRADE.
AND WE GOT A BIG TRUCK
PARKED ABOUT A BLOCK AWAY.
DRIVE RIGHT UP TO
YOUR FRONT DOOR
AND BUST YOUR WHOLE INVENTORY.
YOU CAN'T DO THIS.
I GOT PEOPLE ON RETAINER.
THREATENING MY INVENTORY.
LET ME TALK TO AL.
SURE, HE'LL GET YOUR
INVENTORY BACK FOR YOU.
OUT OF THERE, SHOW ME SOME...
GET HIM DOWN!
HUH, MY WONDERLAND.
MY WONDERLAND.
COME ON, MURRAY.
FOUR OF US, UNDERCOVER.
OKAY, OKAY.
I GUESS IT'S TIME
TO CALL THE TRUCK.
YEAH, YEAH, BLUE
MOOSE, BLUE MOOSE...
ALL RIGHT, ALL
RIGHT, CALL 'EM OFF.
WE'RE HIRED?
THAT'S IT, WE'RE DONE.
HOW'S YOUR RIBS?
LIKE A MULE.
KID MUST BE ON DUST.
ALL RIGHT, WE'LL GET YOU
TO EMERGENCY, ALL RIGHT?
NO.
I'M OKAY.
ON SECOND THOUGHT, MAYBE.
ALL RIGHT, JUST FIVE MINUTES.
OW, DAMN.
I THINK IT'S AWFUL UPRIGHT
OF THE DEPARTMENT
TO GIVE US AN HOUR
AND A HALF OFF TO VOTE.
READ YOUR UNION MAIL, RENKO.
WE WON THAT IN OUR
LAST NEGOTIATION.
- IS THAT SO?
- YEP.
WELL, THE POINT IS THIS:
I KNOW YOU'RE GONNA
VOTE FOR OZZIE CLEVELAND,
AND I HAVE ABSOLUTELY
NO SENSITIVITY
IN INFORMING YOU OF
THE FACT, UNLESS I GET
HIT BY A BUS, I'M GONNA
VOTE FOR CHIEF DANIELS.
SO?
SO, THAT MEANS THAT
WE'RE GONNA SPEND
AN HOUR AND A HALF NEXT TUESDAY
JUST TO CANCEL EACH OTHER OUT.
I DON'T FIGURE IT THAT WAY.
WELL, I FIGURE THERE'S
ABOUT A HUNDRED MORE THINGS
I'D RATHER BE DOING
WITH MY TIME THAN THAT.
RENKO, YOU CAN DO
WHATEVER YOU WANT
WITH YOUR HOUR AND A
HALF, I'M GONNA SPEND MY TIME
VOTING FOR OZZIE.
I'M GONNA WAKE UP NEXT WEDNESDAY
KNOWING I VOTED FOR HIM.
ROBERT, I ALWAYS KNEW
YOU WERE A MAN OF
STRONG CONVICTIONS,
BUT I NEVER FIGURED
YOU FOR A FANATIC.
UNIT 2202, PRIORITY BACKUP.
PROWLER, SECOND FLOOR.
1095 DES MOINES AVENUE.
UNIT 2202 RESPONDING.
WHICH APARTMENT?
I DON'T KNOW, ALL HE
SAID WAS SECOND FLOOR.
THIS IS UNIT 2207 AT DES MOINES.
ANY BACKUPS ON THE WAY?
ROGER, 2207.
UNIT 2202 ROLLING, PRIORITY.
ALL RIGHT, I GOT THE BACK,
I'LL MEET YOU UP THERE.
ALL RIGHT.
POLICE.
WHO'S THERE?
IDENTIFY YOURSELF.
OH MY GOD.
ANYONE ELSE HERE?
OKAY, CALL IT IN.
MIKE, CALL IT IN!
DR. MALLOY TO THE ER.
SO, OFFICER BATES.
DO YOU COME HERE OFTEN?
WHAT HAPPENED?
I KNOCKED THIS KID
OUT WITH MY RIBS.
THE ONE GETTING ALL
THE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
MUST HAVE BEEN QUITE A BRAWL.
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK IT IS?
OH, SMART MONEY'S
ON A CRACKED RIB.
LET'S GET A PICTURE.
CALM DOWN, ALL RIGHT,
JUST TAKE IT EASY!
YOUR FACE IS MELTING!
GET THE HANDCUFFS ON HIM!
ALL RIGHT, NOW, IT'S
ALL RIGHT, CALM DOWN.
CALM DOWN.
IT'S ALL RIGHT, CALM DOWN.
DON'T COME IN
HERE WITH A $20 BILL.
DON'T YOU HAVE ANYTHING
SMALLER THAN THAT, ACE?
EXCUSE ME.
NO MINORS.
DOES YOUR MOTHER
KNOW YOU'RE HERE?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
SHOW ME SOME MONEY,
HAIR BAG, OR BEAT IT.
ARMAGAST, MIDTOWN.
GET THAT OUT OF SIGHT, WILL YOU?
THIS IS MURRAY'S.
WHO SAID GUYS FROM THE
HILL COULD DO MURRAY'S?
DIVISION SAID, SO
GET OFF MY FOOT.
SHOW ME THE PAPERWORK.
WHO'S IN COMMAND HERE?
IF YOU DON'T WALK
AWAY FROM ME, HAIR BALL,
I'M GOING TO MAKE AN
EXAMPLE TO THESE SICK BIRDS
HOW I DON'T TOLERATE WEIRDOES.
I'M TAKING THIS DOWNTOWN.
YOU GUYS ON THE HILL.
YOU'RE ALL MENTAL CASES.
WE GOT THE CALL.
BACKUPS WERE ON THE WAY.
KOLZICKI AND I SEPARATED.
WHERE DID KOLZICKI GO?
AROUND BACK, UP THE FIRE ESCAPE.
I WENT INSIDE.
I FOUND A DOOR
OPENED, AND I ENTERED.
DID YOU SIGNAL YOUR PARTNER
THAT YOU WERE
ENTERING THE APARTMENT?
NO, HE WAS STILL OUTSIDE.
THEN WHAT HAPPENED?
I ENTERED.
IT WAS DARK.
EMPTY.
I HEARD THIS NOISE
SOMEWHERE AND&
TV.
I WENT INTO THE BEDROOM.
DESCRIBE WHAT YOU SAW.
NOT MUCH.
IT WAS DARK.
JUST THE TV SET.
AND I, UH&
AND I SAW SOMEBODY
CROUCHED ON THE
FLOOR BEHIND THE BED.
JUST, YOU KNOW&
I THOUGHT IT WAS A PROWLER!
THOUGHT IT WAS A PROWLER.
DID YOU IDENTIFY YOURSELF?
YES.
HE POINTED THE GUN.
I MEAN, IT LOOKED SO REAL.
HOW MUCH TIME DID
YOU HAVE TO REACT
BEFORE YOU DISCHARGED
YOUR WEAPON?
NOT MUCH, A SECOND.
A SECOND, I MEAN,
I'D GIVE ANYTHING
TO TAKE IT BACK.
I'VE GOT KIDS OF MY OWN.
BUT I THOUGHT, I
BELIEVED, YOU KNOW,
I BELIEVED IT WAS A WEAPON!
I BELIEVED IT.
OFFICER PEREZ, WE'RE JUST
HERE TO GET YOUR STATEMENT.
I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW.
I KNOW, I'M... I'M UPSET.
IS IT TRUE THE
POLICE WERE ACTING
ON WHAT APPEARS TO
HAVE BEEN A CRANK CALL?
HAVE YOU FOUND THE MOTHER?
I DON'T HAVE ALL THE FACTS,
YET IT APPEARS TO BE A
TRAGEDY FOR ALL CONCERNED.
OZZIE.
EXCUSE ME.
OZZIE, A MOMENT.
WHAT THE HELL
HAPPENED, HE SHOT A KID?
ALL I HEARD WAS THE NEWS REPORT.
FRANK, WHAT IN GOD'S
NAME HAPPENED?
I.A.D. IS IN WITH
PEREZ RIGHT NOW.
I HAVEN'T HAD A
CHANCE TO TALK TO HIM.
BUT HE SHOT A CHILD?
WHOM HE MISTOOK FOR A PROWLER.
THAT'S THE PRELIMINARY
INFORMATION.
SINCE WHEN IS IT POLICY
TO SHOOT A PROWLER?
HE THOUGHT THERE WAS A GUN.
THEY'RE STILL BUSY GETTING
ALL THE FACTS TOGETHER.
OZZIE, I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING
WE SHOULD BOTH AGREE RIGHT NOW,
WE DO NOT THROW INTO
THE POLITICAL HOPPER.
I HAVE NO INTENTIONS
OF DOING THAT.
BUT I WANT TO KNOW THE FACTS.
AND YOU'LL KNOW
THEM, I PROMISE YOU.
YOU WILL NOT BE ON THE OUTSIDE.
I JUST THINK THIS
IS TOO INCENDIARY
AND TOO TRAGIC A SITUATION.
I AGREE, I AGREE.
LET'S NOT PLAY POLITICS WITH IT.
I WON'T IF YOU WON'T.
FRANK.
A.D.A. BERNSTEIN IS HERE.
RAY, IS THERE ANYTHING I
SHOULD KNOW ABOUT PEREZ?
NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
HE WAS EXPERIENCING
SOME FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES,
BUT HE'S GOT IT
UNDER CONTROL NOW.
MAYBE I SHOULD JUST PITCH A TENT
IN YOUR SQUAD ROOM, FRANK.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY TRUSTING
YOUR CHAIN OF COMMAND.
ALL RIGHT.
WE GOT A WAY TO GO
ON THE KID'S MOTHER.
MEANING WHAT?
MEANING I TOOK THE LIBERTY
OF DISCUSSING THE SITUATION
WITH YOUR SUPERIORS
IN BOTH THE D.A.
AND THE CITY
CORPORATION COUNCIL.
I THINK WE'RE DEALING WITH
THE WRONG BROAD HERE.
WAIT A SECOND.
I UNDERSTOOD WE WERE HERE
TO DISCUSS CHARGING PEREZ.
I THINK THIS IS
PROBABLY A MEETING
TO DISCUSS ALL THE
PERTINENT FACTS.
ONE OF WHICH IS WE
SEEM TO BE DEALING
WITH A FELONY ENDANGERMENT.
ANOTHER OF WHICH, AS THE CAPTAIN
HAS JUST INFORMED
ME, IS THAT I NEED TO LET
THE CHAIN OF COMMAND FUNCTION.
EXCUSE ME, GENTLEMEN.
I THINK WE'RE A LITTLE PREMATURE
IN FILING FOR ENDANGERMENT,
AREN'T WE, FRANK?
HAVE YOUR MEN
DONE A DOOR TO DOOR?
OF COURSE.
WHAT DID THEY GET ON THE MOTHER?
LAST SEEN YESTERDAY MORNING.
TWO DAYS!
DENNIS, I'D LIKE TO
GET THE INFORMATION
ON THE CRIME ITSELF.
THEN I'D LIKE TO CALL MY OFFICE.
UH, THEY WERE
ANSWERING A PROWLER CALL.
SOME NEIGHBOR PHONED IT IN.
TURNS OUT SHE HAS A
HISTORY OF CRANK CALLS.
LOOK, THERE'S NO QUESTION
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO
MOVE ON PEREZ.
THE POINT IS, WE'VE GOT A
SEPARATE AND LEGITIMATE
ENDANGERMENT COMPLAINT
AGAINST THE MOTHER,
SO LET'S MOVE ON THAT.
TAKE A LITTLE HEAT OFF
THE DEPARTMENT, RIGHT?
AND THE CHIEF,
YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT.
PEREZ IS YOUR DAMN COP, FURILLO.
WHY DON'T YOU GET BEHIND HIM?
HOW DOES SUPPORTING PEREZ
TRANSLATE INTO CRUCIFYING...
YOU LISTEN TO ME.
IT'S YOUR PRECINCT,
GET A WARRANT OUT
ON THIS WOMAN, YOU PICK HER UP.
I WON'T HAVE HER
TREATED LIKE A CRIMINAL.
WHERE IN THE HELL
IS YOUR DECENCY?
EXCUSE ME, CAPTAIN, HILL
AND RENKO JUST CALLED.
THEY'RE STILL AT THE
PREMISES, DO YOU WANT 'EM IN?
AT THE WOMAN'S APARTMENT?
JUST TELL THEM TO WAIT THERE.
TELL THEM TO INFORM MRS. ROBSON
AND ASK HER PLEASE TO COME IN.
WE CAN SEND OVER A WARRANT.
NO WARRANTS, JUST TELL THEM
TO BRING HER IN,
WE WANT TO ASK HER
A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.
HOW IS I.A.D. COMING WITH PEREZ?
JUST ABOUT FINISHED.
TELL PEREZ NO STATEMENTS.
RAY?
HOW'S IT GOING, MIKE?
OKAY, CAPTAIN.
YOU WANNA TALK?
YEAH, WHAT'S...
WHAT'S THE STORY?
HAVE THEY FOUND THE PARENTS?
THERE'S A MOTHER.
THEY'RE STILL LOOKING.
HAVE YOU TOLD MARIA YET?
QUE QUIERE LAWYER?
NO, GRACIAS.
I'LL DO IT.
IT'S JUST, UM,
I'LL DO IT A LITTLE LATER.
THEY'RE GONNA
PUT ME ON THE DESK?
THEY'RE GONNA TAKE YOU
OFF FIELD DUTY FOR NOW.
YOU CAN WRITE UP YOUR REPORT.
YES, SIR.
I JUST HOPE THAT
PEOPLE UNDERSTAND.
I BELIEVED IT WAS A WEAPON.
I DON'T KNOW.
I TALKED TO HIM AFTER ROLL CALL.
HE SEEMED FINE.
HE SEEMED REAL STEADY.
YEAH, JUST LIKE MY
GRANDPOPPY USED TO SAY,
YOU CAN PUT YOUR
SHOES IN THE OVEN,
BUT THAT DON'T
MAKE THEM BISCUITS.
WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
WHAT IT MEANS IS HE
COULD BE REAL STEADY
THIS MORNING, BUT THAT
DON'T DO THAT LITTLE BOY
A LICK OF GOOD THIS
AFTERNOON, DOES IT?
ARE YOU MRS... MRS. ROBSON?
WHAT'S WRONG?
THERE'S BEEN A
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT, MA'AM.
- I'M AFRAID YOUR...
- JIMMY!
MA'AM.
MA'AM, UM...
I'M SORRY, BUT YOUR
BOY'S BEEN SHOT.
JIMMY'S DEAD?
YES, MA'AM.
I TOLD HIM NOT TO
LEAVE THE APARTMENT.
HE PROMISED ME.
HE DIDN'T LEAVE, MA'AM.
SOMEONE REPORTED
THAT THERE WAS A PROWLER
ON THE PREMISES,
AND THE POLICE OFFICER
CAME TO LOOK INTO IT, AND
MISTOOK YOUR SON FOR...
FOR THE PROWLER.
YOUR SON HAD A TOY
GUN THAT APPEARED TO BE
A REAL GUN, AND
THE POLICE OFFICER
ACCIDENTALLY SHOT HIM.
OH.
OH NO!
A POLICE OFFICER?
YES, MA'AM.
POLICE OFFICER?
YES.
IS THERE A GOD IN THE WORLD?
MRS. ROBSON?
MRS. ROBSON.
WE NEED TO TAKE YOU
DOWN TO THE STATION
TO CLEAR UP SOME THINGS.
CAN YOU COME DOWN THERE WITH US?
WHERE'S JIMMY NOW?
THEY TOOK HIM TO THE HOSPITAL.
IS HE ALL RIGHT?
HE'S IN THE HOSPITAL MORGUE.
I... CAN I PLEASE GO SEE HIM?
YEAH, WE'LL TAKE YOU
THERE ON OUR WAY.
I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE ALL RIGHT.
I TOLD HIM, I TOLD
HIM TO STAY INSIDE.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
HEY, WHAT'S HAPPENING, SISTER?
LOOKING FOR THE LOUNGE.
DUDE OUT THERE SAID I
COULD EAT MY SANDWICH
IN THE EMPLOYEES' LOUNGE.
GO AHEAD.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S SEE WHAT WE GOT HERE NOW.
DAMN.
SUPPOSED TO BE HAM AND CHEESE.
LOOKS LIKE IT'S JUST CHEESE.
YOU WANT SOME?
NAME'S STEVE.
VICKY.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS PLACE.
THAT DUDE, MURRAY,
WHAT KINDA JIVE IS HE INTO?
"BRING THE BUCKET, MAN,
BRING THE BUCKET, MAN.
UP AND DOWN, UP AND DOWN."
DUDE BETTER NOT BE
TALKING THAT JIVE TO ME!
I'M GONNA POP HIM!
UH, HOW LONG YOU
HAD THIS GIG, SISTER?
COUPLE MONTHS.
DUDE PAY?
- YEAH, HE PAY.
- MMHMM.
BETTER NOT GIVE
HIM NO NOISE THOUGH,
CAUSE HE'LL FIRE YOUR BUTT.
HEY, I DO MY JOB RIGHT.
- I MEAN, I DO MY JOB.
- YEAH.
I'LL TAKE SOME SANDWICH.
SURE, BABY.
BUT, IT AIN'T GOT NO MUSTARD.
I MEAN, IT TASTES
JUST LIKE JAIL, BABY.
NO PROBLEM.
HEY, UH...
LOOK HERE, SISTER.
NOW, UH&
YOU WOULDN'T KNOW WHERE
A BROTHER COULD GET HIGH
AROUND HERE, WOULD YOU?
COULD BE.
WHEN'S A GOOD TIME?
I'LL FIND YOU.
HEY, THAT'S COOL, BABY.
CHECK YOU OUT LATER.
HEY, HEY,
SAVE THAT ONE FOR
LATER, ALL RIGHT?
HEY, YOU HANG LOOSE
NOW, OKAY, BABY?
THANK YOU, YOU'RE GORGEOUS.
YOU'RE A HANDSOME MAN.
MY WIFE THINKS SO.
EXCUSE ME.
THAT WAS RATHER CLUMSY.
I'M YOUR THERAPIST.
LIZ.
OH, LIZ?
I THOUGHT DOREEN WAS...
YOU WANT DOREEN?
MAYBE SHE'LL BE BACK TOMORROW.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
UH...
EDWARD.
ED.
SO, UH, ED,
ANYTHING YOU WANT
TO TALK TO ME ABOUT?
YOU WANT TO TALK TO
ME ABOUT YOUR PROBLEM?
WELL.
I CAN'T THINK... SEEM TO THINK
OF ANYTHING OFF HAND.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO
BE SHY WITH ME, ED.
WELL...
I SUPPOSE MY LIBIDO COULD STAND
A LITTLE SHORING
UP IN THE AREA OF
RECIPROCAL INHIBITION.
I FIND IT DIFFICULT SOMETIMES
TO SETTLE THE
CONFLICTS THAT ARISE
FROM SUPPRESSED
CONSUMMATORY ACTION
AND GENUINE COVERT BEHAVIOR.
IT'S THE FATE OF YOUR EGO IDEAL
AND YOUR MODERN
SEXUAL ARENA, I REALIZE.
AND YET, LIKE
THE GOD, JANUS, I...
I SEEM ALWAYS TO BE LOOKING BACK
AT THE SUBLIMATIONS OF THE PAST.
COME ON, HONEY, WE'RE
WASTING TIME HERE.
LET ME HAVE A PEEK AT
YOUR REAL PROBLEM, HUH?
I WANT YOU TO TELL ME
WHAT HAPPENED, MRS. ROBSON.
NOTHING TO TELL.
WHY DID YOU LEAVE YOUR
SON ALONE IN THE APARTMENT?
I HAD TO GO STAND
IN LINE FOR A JOB.
THEY WAS ONLY TAKING
THE FIRST 20 PEOPLE,
SO, I HAD TO GET
THERE EARLY AS I COULD.
I SEE.
UH, WHAT JOB, WHERE
DID YOU STAND IN LINE?
EXCUSE ME, LET'S
MAKE THIS CLEAR.
IS MY CLIENT UNDER
ARREST OR NOT?
SHE IS NOT.
IS SHE FREE TO LEAVE?
NOT AT THIS TIME.
MRS. ROBSON, I'D ADVISE YOU
NOT TO ANSWER ANY
FURTHER QUESTIONS.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
THEY ASK ME, I'LL ANSWER 'EM.
THE GAS COMPANY HAD THE JOBS.
AND WHY DIDN'T YOU HAVE
SOMEONE STAY WITH YOUR SON?
I COULDN'T AFFORD A SITTER.
I WAS ALREADY OWING HER $2.
MY BOY WAS HUNGRY,
AND IF I DIDN'T GET A JOB,
HE WASN'T GONNA EAT.
ARE YOU SAYING I KILLED MY BOY?
ARE YOU SAYING
THAT I KILLED HIM?
MRS. ROBSON,
THESE MEN ARE YOUR
ENEMIES RIGHT NOW.
THEY BROUGHT YOU HERE
TO MAKE YOU A SCAPEGOAT.
I DID LEAVE HIM ALONE, DIDN'T I?
IN WHAT CONDITION WAS THE BOY,
YOUR SON, WHEN YOU LEFT?
WAS HE ASLEEP?
NO.
HE GETS UP WITH ME.
HE WON'T BE GETTING UP ANYMORE.
I DON'T HAVE TO FEED HIM.
GO ON PLEASE.
UM.
BEFORE I LEFT LAST MORNING, I...
I SAT DOWN AND I TALKED TO HIM
FOR A REAL LONG TIME.
AND...
I SAID, "JIMMY?
"YOU GONNA BE A GOOD BOY
WHILE YOUR MOMMY'S GONE?
"YOU CAN'T GO CLIMBING AROUND
AND GETTING INTO THINGS."
AND THEN HE SAID, "YES, MA'AM."
AND...

ALL THE FACTS TOGETHER.
OZZIE, I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING
WE SHOULD BOTH AGREE RIGHT NOW,
WE DO NOT THROW INTO
THE POLITICAL HOPPER.
I HAVE NO INTENTIONS
OF DOING THAT.
BUT I WANT TO KNOW THE FACTS.
AND YOU'LL KNOW
THEM, I PROMISE YOU.
YOU WILL NOT BE ON THE OUTSIDE.
I JUST THINK THIS
IS TOO INCENDIARY
AND TOO TRAGIC A SITUATION.
I AGREE, I AGREE.
LET'S NOT PLAY POLITICS WITH IT.
I WON'T IF YOU WON'T.
FRANK.
A.D.A. BERNSTEIN IS HERE.
RAY, IS THERE ANYTHING I
SHOULD KNOW ABOUT PEREZ?
NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
HE WAS EXPERIENCING
SOME FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES,
BUT HE'S GOT IT
UNDER CONTROL NOW.
MAYBE I SHOULD JUST PITCH A TENT
IN YOUR SQUAD ROOM, FRANK.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY TRUSTING
YOUR CHAIN OF COMMAND.
ALL RIGHT.
WE GOT A WAY TO GO
ON THE KID'S MOTHER.
MEANING WHAT?
MEANING I TOOK THE LIBERTY
OF DISCUSSING THE SITUATION
WITH YOUR SUPERIORS
IN BOTH THE D.A.
AND THE CITY
CORPORATION COUNCIL.
I THINK WE'RE DEALING WITH
THE WRONG BROAD HERE.
WAIT A SECOND.
I UNDERSTOOD WE WERE HERE
TO DISCUSS CHARGING PEREZ.
I THINK THIS IS
PROBABLY A MEETING
TO DISCUSS ALL THE
PERTINENT FACTS.
ONE OF WHICH IS WE
SEEM TO BE DEALING
WITH A FELONY ENDANGERMENT.
ANOTHER OF WHICH, AS THE CAPTAIN
HAS JUST INFORMED
ME, IS THAT I NEED TO LET
THE CHAIN OF COMMAND FUNCTION.
EXCUSE ME, GENTLEMEN.
I THINK WE'RE A LITTLE PREMATURE
IN FILING FOR ENDANGERMENT,
AREN'T WE, FRANK?
HAVE YOUR MEN
DONE A DOOR TO DOOR?
OF COURSE.
WHAT DID THEY GET ON THE MOTHER?
LAST SEEN YESTERDAY MORNING.
TWO DAYS!
DENNIS, I'D LIKE TO
GET THE INFORMATION
ON THE CRIME ITSELF.
THEN I'D LIKE TO CALL MY OFFICE.
UH, THEY WERE
ANSWERING A PROWLER CALL.
SOME NEIGHBOR PHONED IT IN.
TURNS OUT SHE HAS A
HISTORY OF CRANK CALLS.
LOOK, THERE'S NO QUESTION
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO
MOVE ON PEREZ.
THE POINT IS, WE'VE GOT A
SEPARATE AND LEGITIMATE
ENDANGERMENT COMPLAINT
AGAINST THE MOTHER,
SO LET'S MOVE ON THAT.
TAKE A LITTLE HEAT OFF
THE DEPARTMENT, RIGHT?
AND THE CHIEF,
YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT.
PEREZ IS YOUR DAMN COP, FURILLO.
WHY DON'T YOU GET BEHIND HIM?
HOW DOES SUPPORTING PEREZ
TRANSLATE INTO CRUCIFYING...
YOU LISTEN TO ME.
IT'S YOUR PRECINCT,
GET A WARRANT OUT
ON THIS WOMAN, YOU PICK HER UP.
I WON'T HAVE HER
TREATED LIKE A CRIMINAL.
WHERE IN THE HELL
IS YOUR DECENCY?
EXCUSE ME, CAPTAIN, HILL
AND RENKO JUST CALLED.
THEY'RE STILL AT THE
PREMISES, DO YOU WANT 'EM IN?
AT THE WOMAN'S APARTMENT?
JUST TELL THEM TO WAIT THERE.
TELL THEM TO INFORM MRS. ROBSON
AND ASK HER PLEASE TO COME IN.
WE CAN SEND OVER A WARRANT.
NO WARRANTS, JUST TELL THEM
TO BRING HER IN,
WE WANT TO ASK HER
A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.
HOW IS I.A.D. COMING WITH PEREZ?
JUST ABOUT FINISHED.
TELL PEREZ NO STATEMENTS.
RAY?
HOW'S IT GOING, MIKE?
OKAY, CAPTAIN.
YOU WANNA TALK?
YEAH, WHAT'S...
WHAT'S THE STORY?
HAVE THEY FOUND THE PARENTS?
THERE'S A MOTHER.
THEY'RE STILL LOOKING.
HAVE YOU TOLD MARIA YET?
QUE QUIERE LAWYER?
NO, GRACIAS.
I'LL DO IT.
IT'S JUST, UM,
I'LL DO IT A LITTLE LATER.
THEY'RE GONNA
PUT ME ON THE DESK?
THEY'RE GONNA TAKE YOU
OFF FIELD DUTY FOR NOW.
YOU CAN WRITE UP YOUR REPORT.
YES, SIR.
I JUST HOPE THAT
PEOPLE UNDERSTAND.
I BELIEVED IT WAS A WEAPON.
I DON'T KNOW.
I TALKED TO HIM AFTER ROLL CALL.
HE SEEMED FINE.
HE SEEMED REAL STEADY.
YEAH, JUST LIKE MY
GRANDPOPPY USED TO SAY,
YOU CAN PUT YOUR
SHOES IN THE OVEN,
BUT THAT DON'T
MAKE THEM BISCUITS.
WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
WHAT IT MEANS IS HE
COULD BE REAL STEADY
THIS MORNING, BUT THAT
DON'T DO THAT LITTLE BOY
A LICK OF GOOD THIS
AFTERNOON, DOES IT?
ARE YOU MRS... MRS. ROBSON?
WHAT'S WRONG?
THERE'S BEEN A
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT, MA'AM.
- I'M AFRAID YOUR...
- JIMMY!
MA'AM.
MA'AM, UM...
I'M SORRY, BUT YOUR
BOY'S BEEN SHOT.
JIMMY'S DEAD?
YES, MA'AM.
I TOLD HIM NOT TO
LEAVE THE APARTMENT.
HE PROMISED ME.
HE DIDN'T LEAVE, MA'AM.
SOMEONE REPORTED
THAT THERE WAS A PROWLER
ON THE PREMISES,
AND THE POLICE OFFICER
CAME TO LOOK INTO IT, AND
MISTOOK YOUR SON FOR...
FOR THE PROWLER.
YOUR SON HAD A TOY
GUN THAT APPEARED TO BE
A REAL GUN, AND
THE POLICE OFFICER
ACCIDENTALLY SHOT HIM.
OH.
OH NO!
A POLICE OFFICER?
YES, MA'AM.
POLICE OFFICER?
YES.
IS THERE A GOD IN THE WORLD?
MRS. ROBSON?
MRS. ROBSON.
WE NEED TO TAKE YOU
DOWN TO THE STATION
TO CLEAR UP SOME THINGS.
CAN YOU COME DOWN THERE WITH US?
WHERE'S JIMMY NOW?
THEY TOOK HIM TO THE HOSPITAL.
IS HE ALL RIGHT?
HE'S IN THE HOSPITAL MORGUE.
I... CAN I PLEASE GO SEE HIM?
YEAH, WE'LL TAKE YOU
THERE ON OUR WAY.
I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE ALL RIGHT.
I TOLD HIM, I TOLD
HIM TO STAY INSIDE.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
HEY, WHAT'S HAPPENING, SISTER?
LOOKING FOR THE LOUNGE.
DUDE OUT THERE SAID I
COULD EAT MY SANDWICH
IN THE EMPLOYEES' LOUNGE.
GO AHEAD.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S SEE WHAT WE GOT HERE NOW.
DAMN.
SUPPOSED TO BE HAM AND CHEESE.
LOOKS LIKE IT'S JUST CHEESE.
YOU WANT SOME?
NAME'S STEVE.
VICKY.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS PLACE.
THAT DUDE, MURRAY,
WHAT KINDA JIVE IS HE INTO?
"BRING THE BUCKET, MAN,
BRING THE BUCKET, MAN.
UP AND DOWN, UP AND DOWN."
DUDE BETTER NOT BE
TALKING THAT JIVE TO ME!
I'M GONNA POP HIM!
UH, HOW LONG YOU
HAD THIS GIG, SISTER?
COUPLE MONTHS.
DUDE PAY?
- YEAH, HE PAY.
- MMHMM.
BETTER NOT GIVE
HIM NO NOISE THOUGH,
CAUSE HE'LL FIRE YOUR BUTT.
HEY, I DO MY JOB RIGHT.
- I MEAN, I DO MY JOB.
- YEAH.
I'LL TAKE SOME SANDWICH.
SURE, BABY.
BUT, IT AIN'T GOT NO MUSTARD.
I MEAN, IT TASTES
JUST LIKE JAIL, BABY.
NO PROBLEM.
HEY, UH...
LOOK HERE, SISTER.
NOW, UH&
YOU WOULDN'T KNOW WHERE
A BROTHER COULD GET HIGH
AROUND HERE, WOULD YOU?
COULD BE.
WHEN'S A GOOD TIME?
I'LL FIND YOU.
HEY, THAT'S COOL, BABY.
CHECK YOU OUT LATER.
HEY, HEY,
SAVE THAT ONE FOR
LATER, ALL RIGHT?
HEY, YOU HANG LOOSE
NOW, OKAY, BABY?
THANK YOU, YOU'RE GORGEOUS.
YOU'RE A HANDSOME MAN.
MY WIFE THINKS SO.
EXCUSE ME.
THAT WAS RATHER CLUMSY.
I'M YOUR THERAPIST.
LIZ.
OH, LIZ?
I THOUGHT DOREEN WAS...
YOU WANT DOREEN?
MAYBE SHE'LL BE BACK TOMORROW.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
UH...
EDWARD.
ED.
SO, UH, ED,
ANYTHING YOU WANT
TO TALK TO ME ABOUT?
YOU WANT TO TALK TO
ME ABOUT YOUR PROBLEM?
WELL.
I CAN'T THINK... SEEM TO THINK
OF ANYTHING OFF HAND.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO
BE SHY WITH ME, ED.
WELL...
I SUPPOSE MY LIBIDO COULD STAND
A LITTLE SHORING
UP IN THE AREA OF
RECIPROCAL INHIBITION.
I FIND IT DIFFICULT SOMETIMES
TO SETTLE THE
CONFLICTS THAT ARISE
FROM SUPPRESSED
CONSUMMATORY ACTION
AND GENUINE COVERT BEHAVIOR.
IT'S THE FATE OF YOUR EGO IDEAL
AND YOUR MODERN
SEXUAL ARENA, I REALIZE.
AND YET, LIKE
THE GOD, JANUS, I...
I SEEM ALWAYS TO BE LOOKING BACK
AT THE SUBLIMATIONS OF THE PAST.
COME ON, HONEY, WE'RE
WASTING TIME HERE.
LET ME HAVE A PEEK AT
YOUR REAL PROBLEM, HUH?
I WANT YOU TO TELL ME
WHAT HAPPENED, MRS. ROBSON.
NOTHING TO TELL.
WHY DID YOU LEAVE YOUR
SON ALONE IN THE APARTMENT?
I HAD TO GO STAND
IN LINE FOR A JOB.
THEY WAS ONLY TAKING
THE FIRST 20 PEOPLE,
SO, I HAD TO GET
THERE EARLY AS I COULD.
I SEE.
UH, WHAT JOB, WHERE
DID YOU STAND IN LINE?
EXCUSE ME, LET'S
MAKE THIS CLEAR.
IS MY CLIENT UNDER
ARREST OR NOT?
SHE IS NOT.
IS SHE FREE TO LEAVE?
NOT AT THIS TIME.
MRS. ROBSON, I'D ADVISE YOU
NOT TO ANSWER ANY
FURTHER QUESTIONS.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
THEY ASK ME, I'LL ANSWER 'EM.
THE GAS COMPANY HAD THE JOBS.
AND WHY DIDN'T YOU HAVE
SOMEONE STAY WITH YOUR SON?
I COULDN'T AFFORD A SITTER.
I WAS ALREADY OWING HER $2.
MY BOY WAS HUNGRY,
AND IF I DIDN'T GET A JOB,
HE WASN'T GONNA EAT.
ARE YOU SAYING I KILLED MY BOY?
ARE YOU SAYING
THAT I KILLED HIM?
MRS. ROBSON,
THESE MEN ARE YOUR
ENEMIES RIGHT NOW.
THEY BROUGHT YOU HERE
TO MAKE YOU A SCAPEGOAT.
I DID LEAVE HIM ALONE, DIDN'T I?
IN WHAT CONDITION WAS THE BOY,
YOUR SON, WHEN YOU LEFT?
WAS HE ASLEEP?
NO.
HE GETS UP WITH ME.
HE WON'T BE GETTING UP ANYMORE.
I DON'T HAVE TO FEED HIM.
GO ON PLEASE.
UM.
BEFORE I LEFT LAST MORNING, I...
I SAT DOWN AND I TALKED TO HIM
FOR A REAL LONG TIME.
AND...
I SAID, "JIMMY?
"YOU GONNA BE A GOOD BOY
WHILE YOUR MOMMY'S GONE?
"YOU CAN'T GO CLIMBING AROUND
AND GETTING INTO THINGS."
AND THEN HE SAID, "YES, MA'AM."
AND...
AND I LEFT HIM.
AND, OH MY GOD!
OH GOD!
THEY CAN DO ANYTHING
THEY WANT TO ME
IF IT BRINGS MY BABY BACK!
OH, I KILLED HIM!
I KILLED MY BABY!
I THINK WE'RE DONE NOW.
WE'VE GOT ENOUGH TO FILE.
WHEN SHE COMES OUT
OF THE ROOM, I WANT HER
TRANSFERRED TO MICHIGAN AVENUE.
ON WHAT CHARGE?
BASED ON HER
ADMISSION IN THAT ROOM,
WE CAN MAKE CHILD ABANDONMENT
AND FELONY ENDANGERMENT STICK.
I'M SORRY, FRANK,
I'VE GOT MY ORDERS.
CITY CORPORATION
COUNCIL IS ALSO IN FAVOR,
AND MOST OF ALL, YOUR OWN
DEPARTMENT IS PUSHING IT.
YOU DON'T THINK THE
PRESS AND THE PUBLIC
ARE GOING TO KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO?
AND WHAT'S THAT, FURILLO?
DIVERT ATTENTION FROM A
TRAGIC POLICE INVOLVEMENT?
AVOID A MAJOR LAWSUIT
AGAINST THE CITY?
YOU'RE MAKING A
LOT OF UNINFORMED
ASSUMPTIONS THERE, FRANK.
SORRY WE'RE GOING
TO ARREST YOUR CLIENT.
CHARGE IS CHILD ABANDONMENT
AND ENDANGERMENT.
I DON'T BELIEVE THIS.
I'LL MAKE IT AS EASY
AS I POSSIBLY CAN.
GOD, ISN'T THERE
ANY COMMON DECENCY
LEFT IN THE WORLD?
IT'S ALL POLITICAL HATCHET WORK
FOR DANIELS, ISN'T IT?
THE ARRAIGNMENT'S
THIS AFTERNOON.
SHE'S IN CUSTODY UNTIL THEN.
GOOD.
YOU'LL HAVE TIME
TO SHAVE HER HEAD
AND TATTOO A NUMBER ON HER ARM.
MRS. ROBSON?
YOU SHOT MY BOY.
I'VE GOT A LITTLE BOY OF MY OWN.
AND IF ANYTHING WERE
TO HAPPEN TO HIM, I'D DIE.
I'M SORRY.
I'M SORRY!
THE LORD IS FORGIVENESS.
BUT I KILLED HIM!
I SHOT HIM!
I KNOW.
I KNOW IT WASN'T IN YOUR HEART
TO HURT MY JIMMY.
WE BOTH HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT.
I DON'T HATE YOU.
MRS. ROBSON, WILL YOU
COME WITH ME, PLEASE?
♪♪
YOUR OFFICE, FRANK?
ACCORDING TO WHAT I'VE
MANAGED TO PIECE TOGETHER,
YOU RAIDED A PORNO SUPERMARKET
IN MIDTOWN THIS MORNING,
MADE ARRESTS AND PUT FOUR
OF YOUR MEN ON THE PREMISES.
I CAN HAZARD A GOOD GUESS
AS TO WHAT'S GOING ON,
BUT I THINK I SHOULD
HEAR IT FROM YOU.
THAT OPERATION'S A WEEK OLD, OZ.
THE HELL IT IS.
IT'S A CHEAP, SHODDY
ATTEMPT TO PUT A FEATHER
IN CANDIDATE DANIELS'
CAP ON ELECTION DAY.
AND I'M TEMPTED TO
HOLLER THE WHOLE THING
TO THE PRESS.
I THINK YOU CAN ONLY HURT
YOURSELF BY DOING THAT, OZ.
ME AND DANIELS
WILL JUST BLAME YOU
FOR ENDANGERING THE OPERATION.
I'M SORRY YOU
WEREN'T TOLD, BUT...
FRANK? EXCUSE ME.
WE HAVE A SERIOUS
PROBLEM DOWNSTAIRS.
I'M SORRY, OZ.
HE WON'T COME OUT, CAPTAIN.
MIKE, I'M GOING TO HELP
YOU OUT OF THERE, OKAY?
CAPTAIN.
CAPTAIN, AFTER MY
WEAPON WAS DISCHARGED,
HE WAS STILL ALIVE.
HE LOOKED AT ME.
HE WAS HOLDING MY LEG, AND...
HE WAS LOOKING UP AT ME
AS IF I COULD HELP HIM.
HE CONTINUED TO HOLD MY LEG,
AND HE WAS...
HE WAS HOLDING IT LIKE THIS.
MICHAEL?
LET'S STAND UP, OKAY?
ALL RIGHT?
GET HIM DRIED OFF.
I'M OKAY, CAPTAIN.
I'M OKAY.
I JUST WANT TO GO
HOME FOR A WHILE.
BOBBY.

CALL HIS WIFE, RAY.
SEND HIM HOME WITH
A COUPLE UNIFORMS.
TELL THEM NOT TO LEAVE
TILL SHE GETS THERE.
HOW YOU FEELING?
TAPE'S A LITTLE TIGHT, BUT OKAY.
YOU SURE?
I'M FINE.
HEY, ED, HOW'S PEREZ?
TOOK HIM HOME.
YOU TELL HIS WIFE?
YEAH, WE TOLD HER.
POOR GUY JUST FREAKED OUT.
WELL, HE'S BEEN IN A
LOT OF PRESSURE LATELY.
THAT RESTAURANT THING.
ALL THEM DEBTS GET TO YOU.
YOU START OUT WOUND
A COUPLE OF NOTCHES
TOO TIGHT TO BEGIN WITH,
YOU GO INTO A DARK ROOM.
AND WHAT, J.D., AND WHAT?
NOTHING, LUCE, JUST NOTHING.
IF YOU'RE SAYING
HE KILLED THE KID
BECAUSE OF HOME
PROBLEMS, THAT'S A CROCK.
TAKE IT EASY, LUCE.
OH, YOU TAKE IT EASY,
YOU TAKE IT EASY.
I KILLED A KID ONCE.
IT'S GOT NOTHING TO DO
WITH THE REST OF MY LIFE,
IT JUST HAPPENS.
THERE'S A SITUATION,
YOU USE YOUR JUDGMENT,
AND THAT'S IT.
YOU'RE RIGHT,
LUCE, YOU'RE RIGHT.
IT HAPPENED.
I THINK MIKE DESERVES
BETTER THAN US
SECOND GUESSING HIM.
NO ARGUMENT THERE, BABE.
JOE?
NOW I THINK I HAVE TO
GO TO THE HOSPITAL.
CAUSE I CAN'T BREATHE.
JUST TAKE IT EASY THERE.
- OH.
- COME ON.
I HAD THREE BUCKS' WORTH.
STAND FURTHER AWAY FROM ME.
OH, EXCUSE ME, Y'ALL.
GET LOST, JIM.
OH, HE ALL RIGHT, QUINCY.
HE'S JUST A JUNKIE MOPPER.
I GOTTA LEAVE.
HEY THERE, SWEET CAKES.

GOT A PACKAGE FOR
OUR CHICAGO FRIEND.

TAKE A BUS RIDE, GOT THAT?
MM-HMM.
THAT'S MY SUGAR.
YOU WANT SOMETHING, JIM?

ANYBODY TRIES TO GET
EVIL WITH HER,

I'M COMING FOR YOU.
OKAY, SISTER.

SITUATION HERE NOW, BABY.

GONNA HAPPEN TO YOU.
NOT GONNA BUST YOU,
UNLESS OF COURSE,
YOU DON'T HELP ME OUT.
WH... WHAT DO YOU WANT?
QUINCY.
WHAT'S THAT?
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
A SHIV.
YOU GOT IT.
WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO WITH IT?
STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE.
MAKE A SMALL INCISION
SO WE CAN PRESSURIZE
THE CHEST WALL AND
INFLATE YOUR LUNG.
CAN YOU FEEL THAT?
MM-MM, IS THAT GOOD?
YEP.
THAT CRACKED RIB GAVE
US A VERY SMALL PUNCTURE,
AND THAT'S THE WHOLE PROBLEM.
LIKE A BALLOON.
THAT'S THE IDEA.
HURTS TO TALK, DOESN'T IT?
HMM.
SO, I'LL TALK.
DR. AVILA, TO O.R.
WE'RE GOING TO PUT THIS TUBE IN,
AND PUMP YOUR CHEST
UP WITH THAT GIZMO THERE.
IT'LL HURT A LITTLE
BIT, BUT NOT A LOT.
THEN IN A FEW DAYS,

TAKE YOU OUT TO DINNER.
PASS.
OFFICER BATES, I AM
AN HONORABLE MAN.

BESIDES, I'M ON ALL NIGHT.
I'LL COME IN AND SEE YOU.
OKAY?

WOULD YOU LIKE A POPSICLE?
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE?
BANANA.
BANANA IT IS.

LEAVING ASIDE FOR THE MOMENT
THE FACT THAT THESE
CHARGES ARE A CROCK,
THERE'S THE MATTER OF
HER ARRANGING A FUNERAL.
I PETITION FOR IMMEDIATE

OBJECTION?
NO.
IRWIN, ALL I'M GOING TO SAY IS

STEP BACK.
PRELIMINARY HEARING IN 72 HOURS.

THAT'S A GOOD GIRL.
SORRY.
STUCK IN TRAFFIC.
OH, THAT'S OKAY.
SHE JUST FELL ASLEEP.
ROUGH, HUH?
YEAH.
WE ALL READY?
WELL, YOU KNOW, THEY
HAVE TO TAKE ME OUT
IN A WHEELCHAIR, INSURANCE.
RIGHT, OKAY.
ARE YOU OKAY, HENRY?
YOU LOOK A LITTLE RAGGED.
UH&
ONE OF OUR COPS.
KILLED A CHILD TODAY, I HEARD.
COULD HAVE BEEN JOSH.
COULD HAVE BEEN FRANK JR.
I KNOW.
IT'S HORRIBLE.
BUT&
WHAT?
WELL, NOBODY CAN HELP
THAT CHILD ANYMORE.
I MEAN, I JUST THINK THAT
WE HAVE TO HOLD ON
TO AND BE THANKFUL FOR
ALL THE CHILDREN THAT
ARE ALIVE IN THE WORLD.
IT'S THE ONLY WAY
WE CAN LIVE FINELY.
CAN I HOLD HER?
THERE YOU GO, THERE YOU GO.
VEAL THAT BAD?
NO, THE VEAL'S FINE.
IT'S GOOD.
YEAH, I KNOW.
I CAN'T EAT EITHER.
WELL, THE THOUGHT OF
ARRESTING THAT BOY'S MOTHER.
THEY'LL DISMISS
AT THE PRELIMINARY.
I GAVE THE ORDER TO
TAKE HER, YOU KNOW.
FRANK, WHEN I DEFEND SOME CREEP,
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT
IT'S PART OF MY JOB.
OF COURSE.
AND YOU DON'T DECIDE
WHETHER TO FORGIVE ME.
YOU DON'T EXPECT
ME TO APOLOGIZE.
NO.
WELL, WE'RE MARRIED, PIZZA MAN.
I LOVE YOU.
I KNOW WHAT YOU DO.
I KNOW YOUR INTEGRITY.
