STUFF'S A CURSE.
CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY LIVES
I'VE SEEN IT RUIN.
TRYING TO GET BUSINESS
BACK ON ITS FEET AGAIN.
BANK'S DON'T
WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT.
THAT'S OUR NICHE, NORM,
THAT'S WHAT WE DO.
UH, DONNY, I THINK YOU BETTER
GET OUT OF HERE.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
[SID]
I THINK HE MAY BE HOT.

COME ON, GO, BOBBY.
CAN YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN
FOR ME, SID?
WAIT WHERE WE SAID.
I'M GONNA SEE WHAT I CAN DO.
EXCUSE ME.
HERE, HERE.
SINCE WHEN DID YOU
GET TO BE CAPTAIN
ON THIS TOUR CRUISE, HUH?
NORM...

[DOOR CLOSING]
[DOOR RATTLING]
CRAZY, AM I RIGHT, NORM?
I JUST BLOW OUR CONNECT
WITH A SHY
THAT I'VE BEEN TRYING
TO SET YOU UP WITH, WHAT--
THREE WEEKS NOW?
AND NOW, NORM,
I'M LAYING HANDS ON YOU.
SO THIS IS HOW
YOU GOTTA KNOW
WHAT HAS COME INTO OUR LIVES,
NORM, IS SO BIG.
IT IS SO POWERFUL, NORM.
OR ELSE
I DON'T TAKE THE SHOT.
TELL ME ABOUT THE SUITCASE.
DID YOU SEE THAT SUITCASE?
YES.
DID YOU SEE THE WAY
THAT KID WAS BENT OVER
WITH THE WEIGHT
OF THAT THING?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT WAS IN IT?
SODA, NORM.
[SNIFFING]
UNCUT.
DIRECT FROM AN AIR DISASTER.
AND NOT A POUND, NORM.
WHICH A POUND, UNCUT,
STREETS FOR 20, 22.5.
BUT IT'S NOT A POUND, NORM.
AND IT'S NOT
TEN POUNDS, NORM.
WHICH TEN POUNDS, CONSERVATIVE,
MOVES AT A DEUCE IN SIX FIGURES
AND GETS TWO PEOPLE, NORM...
OUTTA THIS STINKIN' RAT HOLE
AND SET UP BY ANY WATER
WE COULD THINK OF.
AND NOT DOMESTIC WATER, NORM,
DID I SAY DOMESTIC WATER?
BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE
DOMESTIC WATER, NORM.
WE COULD SET UP BY ANY WATER
IN THE WHOLE STINKIN' WORLD!
AND IT'S NOT TEN POUNDS, NORM,
THAT'S NOT THE AMOUNT.
AND IT'S NOT
20 POUNDS, NORM.
WHICH, 20 POUNDS, NORM,
GETS BROADS AND LIMOUSINES
AND A HOUSE
ANYWHERE YOU COULD THINK OF.
AND NOT 40 POUNDS.
NOT EVEN 60 POUNDS, NORM,
WHICH IS THREE QUARTERS
OF A MILLION DOLLARS.
NORM... 80 POUNDS!
80 POUNDS, NORM!
THAT KID'S INTESTINES
WERE DOWN IN HIS TESTICLES
WITH THE WEIGHT
OF THAT SUITCASE.
NORM, I AM GOING TO ASK YOU
A QUESTION ONCE,
AND I DON'T THINK YOU WOULD
RESPECT ME AS A MAN IF I DIDN'T.
THAT BOBBY, HE'S A MOUSE.
HE IS LOOKING TO OFF THIS STUFF
FOR HIGH FOUR FIGURES--
7,500, TEN GRAND, MAX.
TEN GRAND.
AND KNOWING
THE KIND OF PERSON YOU ARE
I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED
IF YOU DON'T HAVE
THAT IN A BANK ACCOUNT
SOMEWHERE, AM I RIGHT?
AND NOW BOBBY
IS OUT OF THE PICTURE.
AND YOU AND ME, NORM,
ARE STRUGGLING LIKE THIS
WITH THAT SUITCASE BETWEEN US.
I KNOW THAT YOU ARE
IN LAW ENFORCEMENT,
BUT I'M ASKING YOU
AS A HUMAN BEING
TO CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY
OF AN ENTIRE FRESH CONCEPT
AND START IN LIFE... HMM?
OKAY, NORM, I'M GONNA TAKE
MY HAND AWAY FROM YOUR LIPS NOW.
IT WOULD MEAN, NORM,
SO MUCH TO ME,
IF YOU GAVE ME
SOME POSITIVE INDICATION
THAT YOU WOULD CONSIDER
WHAT I AM SUGGESTING.
IS THERE A GLIMMER, NORM?
IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITY?
NONE.
NONE, YOU MEAN,
IN THE SENSE OF WHAT?
NONE.
MEANING?
MEANING NONE.
- NONE?

[CHATTER]
WHO SAW THE PLANE COME DOWN?
[ALL]
I DID, I DID...
I WANNA KNOW WHO ACTUALLY
SAW THE PLANE HIT
AND EXPLODE INTO FLAMES.
I DID, MISTER.
- YOU LIE, EVANDER.
- I SAW IT.
YOU WAS AT BREAKFAST.
...PLANE WRECK, I HAD TO FIGHT
MY WAY THROUGH.
RIGHT, RIGHT,
CAN WE SEE SOME I.D., PLEASE?
LOOK, I'VE GOT TO GO THROUGH
THAT WRECKAGE
AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
I'VE GOTTA RETRIEVE
THE BLACK BOX
AND THE OCCUPANTS'

YEAH, WELL, HOW COME
THEY SENT TWO OF YOU?
SORRY?
THAT GUY RIGHT THERE,
HE'S FROM THE F.A.A. TOO.
AND HE HAPPENS
TO HAVE I.D., SIR.
UH-HUH, WELL, HE'S PROBABLY
FROM A DIFFERENT FIELD OFFICE.
RIGHT, RIGHT.
YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO BE
A LOOTER, WOULD YOU?
OH, NO, NO, NO, I GOTTA GO.
[WOMAN]
OKAY, YOU GOT THE AIRPLANE
IN THE BACKGROUND?
I'M TALKING WITH F.A.A.
INSPECTOR JAMES FOREMAN.
ANY PRELIMINARY THEORIES,
MR. FOREMAN,
ABOUT THE CAUSE
OF THIS CRASH?
WE'RE JUST BEGINNING
TO ASSEMBLE THE DATA.
I'M TOLD, AS OF YET,
NO MANIFEST, FLIGHT
OR DESTINATION PLAN HAVE BEEN
FOUND FILED FOR THIS PLANE
AT ANY OF THE LOCAL AIRPORTS.
WE'RE JUST BEGINNING
TO LOOK INTO THAT.
IS IT POSSIBLE THIS FLIGHT'S
PURPOSE WAS CRIMINAL?
NO CONTRABAND'S
BEEN FOUND ON SITE.
YOU'VE GOT TO EXCUSE ME NOW.
IN A DENSELY POPULATED AREA,
THERE WERE NO FATALITIES
OTHER THAN
THE FLIGHT'S OCCUPANTS.
WOULDN'T YOU CALL THAT
A MIRACLE?
EVERYTHING
IS VERY PRELIMINARY.
MR. FOREMAN,
ONE MORE QUESTION, PLEASE.
AS THE INVESTIGATION
CONTINUES,
WE WILL BE GIVING UPDATES
THROUGHOUT THE DAY...
[BOYS SHOUTING]
HEY, HOW COME YOU AIN'T TRYING
TO GET ON TV, DEIRDRE?
[CHATTER]
INTAKE ON RENALDO LIMON,
SERGEANT.
TRADE YOU
FOR A PHILLIP ALLEN.
THOUGHT YOU'D GET AHEAD OF ME,
DIDN'T YOU?
MORNING, STANISLAUS.
MORNING, LIEUTENANT.
HEY, HOW ABOUT
THAT AIR WRECK?
OH, EXTRAORDINARY.
OH, 50 FEET EITHER WAY,
WHO KNOWS HOW MANY
WOULD'VE DIED.
IT'S THE LUCKIEST THING
I EVER HEARD OF.
WELL, NOT THAT THE GENTLEMEN
IN THE COCKPIT
WOULD NECESSARILY SHARE
YOUR OPINION.
NO PROBLEM, JIMMY.
I CAN IMAGINE HOW MANY CALLS
YOU'RE JUGGLING.
YOU APPELLATE CLERKS MAKE
THE WHOLE JUDICIAL PROCESS RUN.
[CHUCKLING]
YOU'RE RIGHT, IT'S RANKING
UP IN FLATTERY.
JIMMY, UH, IF YOU COULD
JUST PERSUADE JUDGE KRAMER
TO GRANT ME
ONE MORE EXTENSION.
I'VE BEEN SWAMPED AND I JUST
WANT THE BRIEF TO MAKE SENSE.
MY SOLEMN OATH, NEVER AGAIN.
YOU'RE A LOVE.
- NATE, HOW ARE YOU.
- HI, JOYCE.
SERGEANT, WHICH ROOM?
INTERROGATION TWO.
I'M OKAY.
JUST ABOUT OKAY.
YOU MISS BEING A PROSECUTOR?
AT LEAST I ALWAYS
HAD THE WORK, HUH?
TRUTH IS, JOYCE...
IT'S NOT HAPPENING FOR ME
IN PRIVATE PRACTICE.
WHAT DO YOU SAY, NATE?
HEAR ABOUT THOSE BUSTS
IN THE RED ZONE?
THEY USE A NET?
THAT SWEEP WAS TOTALLY,
100% SHAKY.
WE SHOULD'VE TAKEN
FIVE MINUTES,
GET 'EM ENJOINED
ON PROBABLE CAUSE BEFOREHAND.
- MEANING, I SHOULD HAVE.
- SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE.
ME GO TO JUDGE KRAMER
WHEN I AM TEN DAYS LATE
FILING AN APPEAL ON DESANTOS?
NOW WE'LL HAVE TO
TAKE THEM CASE BY CASE.
GIVE ME THE ONES
YOU HAVE TO GIVE ME, DANNY.
IS THAT WHAT YOU WANNA HEAR?
I'LL LEAVE THEM
AT THE FRONT DESK.
SEE YA, NATE.
JOYCE, THERE'S SOMETHING
I'M ASKING YOU HERE.
I'M TRYING
TO BECOME AN AFFILIATE P.D.
NOW, NATURALLY,
I'M NOT TOO POPULAR
HAVING BEEN
ON THE OTHER SIDE.
BUT IN THE MEANTIME...
IN THE MEANTIME,
IF I HAVE A CLIENT
I CAN PASS ONTO YOU,
I'LL BE HAPPY TO, OKAY, NATE?
- ICE MAIDEN, HUH?
- EXCUSE ME?
UH, THAT'S WHAT THE A.D.A's
USED TO CALL YOU.
NOT ME, THEN!
NOW NOW... EVER.
I JUST WANT IT ON RECORD.
THIS GUY MIGHT'VE
DONE IT HIMSELF.
I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, SIR.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED,
WHAT THIS GUY
MIGHT'VE BEEN UP TO.
THE INVISIBLE MAN?
GUY COMES INTO MY STORE,
TERRIBLE HEADACHE.
HE'S GOTTA TAKE THE ASPIRINS
RIGHT THERE.
I GIVE HIM SOME WATER,
HE TAKES 'EM,
DOUBLES OVER LIKE THAT.
WHO DOUBLES OVER?
YOU THE ONE'S
GONNA TAKE THIS DOWN?
I'M GONNA NEED
A POLICE REPORT.
WHAT YOU GOTTA DO
IS NOTIFY THE DISTRIBUTOR,
LOMAX PHARMACEUTICALS.
THESE GOTTA BE TESTED.
WHAT GUY DOUBLED OVER?
WITH THE HEADACHE,
HE'S IN MY CAR.
YOU SAYING
THESE MIGHT BE POISON?
YOU LEFT THE GUY IN YOUR CAR?
HEY, LOOK, YOU GOT LIABILITY
QUESTIONS HERE.
I MEAN, IF THIS STUFF IS POISON,
I WANT IT ON RECORD
THAT YOU GOT NOTIFIED
SOON AS POSSIBLE TIME.
- WHERE YOU PARKED?
- UP THE CORNER.
YOU CAN'T GET SPACES
AROUND HERE.
COUNTY MEDICAL, STAN,
GET A WORK-UP ON THOSE PILLS.
ALL RIGHT.
PLANE CRASH?
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
I THOUGHT
IT WAS GONNA HIT ME.
AND PEOPLE WONDER
WHY I DRINK.
LODGING CHITS!
THANK YOU, MA'AM.
CHITS FOR LODGING!
EXCUSE ME...
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
LETS YOU STAY OVERNIGHT.
CRANE, DRAKE,
OR FENWICK HOTEL.
LODGING CHITS!
IT'S FROM THE WELFARE.
THAT'S WORTH MONEY
FOR DINNER.
IT'S GOOD FOR COCKTAILS
BEFORE DINNER.
AND AFTER DINNER TOO.
OH, I THOUGHT
IT WAS FOR A ROOM.
WEATHERMAN SAYS CLEAR SKIES.
IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH COCKTAILS,
I FIND DINNER
TAKES CARE OF ITSELF.
HEY, HEY, BUCK FOR A CHIT,
WHO WANTS IT?
HOW 'BOUT YOU, PAL?
PUT A DOLLAR
IN YOUR POCKET RIGHT NOW.
YOU'RE JUST TAKING ADVANTAGE
OF HIM BECAUSE HE'S GREEN.
DON'T SELL CHEAP.
MAN FROM THE HOTEL
GIVES US FOUR.
HE'S WAITING IN MY PLACE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
THE HOTEL GUY BUYS THESE CHITS?
FOUR BIG ONES.
[POLICE SIREN]
[BELKER]
WHAT DO YOU FIGURE THE HOTEL GUY
DOES WITH THESE CHITS?
[HORN HONKING]
- I MEAN, IF WELFARE--
- I DON'T KNOW, MISTER.
DOES HE EVER RENT THE ROOMS OUT
AGAIN TO OTHER PEOPLE?
DID YOU EVER SEE HIM DO THAT?
HE GIVES US FOUR BUCKS,
AND WE TAKE THE MONEY
AND BUY COCKTAILS.
MARSHA, IS THIS ZUCCHINI
ANY COUNT?
ALMOST... ALMOST READY.
- ASK HIM.
- ASK ME WHAT?
OH, I WAS ASKING
ABOUT THE CHITS.
FOUR BUCKS.
SOLD!
RIGHT.

YUP.
COME ON, BUDDY,
I AIN'T GOT ALL DAY.
NO.
I'M GONNA KEEP THE CHIT,
I WANNA SLEEP AT THE HOTEL.
YOU WANNA SLEEP
AT OUR HOTEL?
THIS IS GOOD FOR SLEEPING THERE,
ISN'T IT?
YEAH, I'LL MAKE SURE
THAT THEY LEAVE A CHOCOLATE MINT
ON YOUR PILLOW.
YOU SHOULD STAY OUTSIDE.
IT'S COCKTAIL HOUR.
[DISTANT JACKHAMMERING]
I'M ALLOWING MYSELF
THE FLICKER OF A HOPE.
YOU ALLOW YOURSELF
WHATEVER YOU WANT, SID.
I'M ALLOWING MYSELF
HOPE, NORMAN,
BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T BEEN
IN CONTACT WITH YOUR HOME BASE.
THAT'S 'CAUSE MAYBE I WANNA
GET THIS THING TAKEN CARE OF
WITHOUT GETTING DROWNED
IN ALPHABET SOUP.
THE NARCOTICS,
FIREARMS, DEA, FBI.
YMCA, I KNOW, NORM, I KNOW.
GO ON, SAY HELLO.
ROBERTO!
THERE IS MY GUY.
HEY, WAIT A MINUTE,
SOMETHING IS DIFFERENT HERE.
SOMETHING IS, UH, IS CHANGED
FROM BEFORE, RIGHT?
WHAT'S GOING ON?
YOU KNOW, YOU WERE
SO UPTIGHT BEFORE.
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER YOU NOTICED
NORM SITTING IN THE BAR.
I NOTICED HIM.
ANYWAYS... IT'S A HELL
OF A COINCIDENCE
BECAUSE NORM IS POSITIONED
TO DISTRIBUTE THAT PRODUCT
THAT YOU MENTIONED.
THINK I'M A PUSHOVER,
DON'T YOU, SID?
EXCUSE ME?
THINK I'M JUST GONNA ROLL OVER
AND GIVE THAT THING UP.
- [CHUCKLING]
- OH, HEY, BOBBY!
YOU INTERRUPT A MOVE I'VE BEEN
TRYING TO SET FOR THREE WEEKS.
I PUT MYSELF OUT
TO HELP YOU.
NOW YOU'RE GONNA SIT THERE
AND GO PARANOID ON ME?
HEY, NOT THAT THIS ISN'T
A GREAT THRILL FOR ME
WATCHING YOU
SUCK YOUR BLANKET,
BUT, UH, I UNDERSTOOD
YOU GOT STUFF TO SELL.
I GOT STUFF, MAN,
DID YOU SEE THAT SUITCASE?
YEAH, I SAW IT,
AND I WANNA KNOW
IF IT'S ON THE PREMISES
AND WHAT'S INSIDE IT?
BOBBY, I SAW THE SODA.
NORM'S LOOKING
FOR CONFIRMATION.
THERE'S GONNA BE AN AUCTION.
- COME AGAIN?
- AN AUCTION?
I PUT THE WORD OUT.
STUFF'S GOING BEST OFFER.
CASH ON THE TABLE.
OH, BOBBY.
I PUT THE WORD--
COUPLE OF SERIOUS PEOPLE.
GONNA LET THE FREE MARKETPLACE
SET THE PRICE.
YOU DUMB CLUCK.
WHAT'S A MATTER, SID,
AFRAID YOU'RE GONNA SEE
SOMEBODY YOU OWE?
[LAUGHING]
WHEN DOES THIS, UH,
AUCTION TAKE PLACE?
WHAT TIME IS IT?
11:00.
IT'S ALL ABOUT TO HAPPEN.
HOW'D THIS GUY
LIVE THIS LONG?
SHE'S UNDER TOO MUCH PRESSURE.
SHE'S TAKING TOO MUCH
ON TO HERSELF.
ALL RIGHT, MA'AM.
- THIS ISN'T LIKE HER.
- OKAY.
I'M SORRY, BRENDA.
THEY WON'T LISTEN.
THEY DON'T MIND.
WHAT'S GOING ON, MA'AM?
SO YOU EXPLAIN TO ME,
YOU TELL ME HOW TO DO.
[RENKO]
CALM DOWN, MA'AM.
MA'AM.
OH, PAPI, OH, I'M SORRY.
PAPI...
[ANDY]
THIS OLD MAN LOOKS LIKE
HE'S IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE.
HELLO, PUDDING.
WHEN DID YOU COME HERE?
PAPI, I'M SORRY I HIT YOU.
[ANDY]
TAKE A LOOK AT THAT EYE.
[BOBBY]
HOW LONG AS THIS BEEN GOING ON?
[WOMAN]
OH, GOD, SHE NEVER
BEAT HIM BEFORE.
THIS IS PITIFUL.
SHE'S THE ONLY ONE,
IT'S HER GRANDPARENTS.
HER MAMA DIED AND SHE'S THE ONLY
ONE TO TAKE CARE OF 'EM.
CALL THE PARAMEDICS, ANDY.
COULD YOU, UH, STAY HERE
A WHILE, MRS. HARRISON?
MY OWN'S COMING AT NOON.
ALL RIGHT.
COULD YOU GET UP, PLEASE?
OFFICER, BRENDA'S
A GOOD GIRL.
SHE'S ONLY TRYING
TO HELP US.
HE PUT THE PORK CHOPS
DOWN THE SINK
AND THE PIPES
GOT ALL BACKED UP.
I HAD A WHOLE DINNER
LAID OUT.
ALL RIGHT.
I'M A PHONE OPERATOR,
I BRING HOME $223 A WEEK.
I'M PAYING THE PLUMBER,
I CAN'T GET THEIR MEDICINE.
PAPI...
MRS. HARRISON IS GONNA
STAY WITH YOU A WHILE.
HELLO, PUDDING.
YOU MAKING A PHONE CALL?
BOBBY, PARAMEDICS
ARE ON THE WAY.
I'M GONNA NEED MY SCARF.
OKAY.
AND MY FELT HAT.
- ARTHUR.
- I KNOW.
REMEMBER LAST TIME
WHAT I SAID
ABOUT ANOTHER ARREST?
I KNOW, I REMEMBER.
IT'S A THIRD OFFENSE,
ARTHUR.
THAT MEANS IT'S GOING TO BE
A LOT OF TIME.
I CAN HANDLE THE JUNK.
HALF THE PEOPLE
INSIDE IS HIGH.
BUT I LIKE MY FREEDOM.
I LIKE TO BE ABLE
TO SMELL THE AIR...
AND YET, YOU PULL A 2-11.
TWO STORES FROM A CORNER
WITH A TRAFFIC COP.
HAVE THEM PUT ME
NEXT TO SOMEBODY.
IN THE SLAMS, PUT ME
NEXT TO SOMEBODY BIG.
SOMEBODY THAT THEY WANT
REAL BAD.
I MEAN, I COULD HEAR
WHAT THEY GOT TO SAY
AND MAYBE I CAN GIVE 'EM UP.
I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.
I AIN'T GOT NOTHING ELSE
BUT MY JONES, MISS DAVENPORT.
I DON'T RUN WITH NOBODY.
I DON'T CUT NOBODY, I ROB.
I AM A SMALL TIMER.
I AIN'T GOT ANYTHING ELSE
TO DEAL.
WHAT YOU'RE ASKING...
I KNOW A LOT OF LAWYERS
THAT SETS STUFF LIKE THIS UP.
I'M NOT ONE OF THEM.
YOU KNOW ONE?
I'LL THINK, I'LL SEE.
"WHEN WILL THEY LEARN,
WHAT WILL IT TAKE?
MUST SOMEONE DIE,
MORE TO FOLLOW."
WHERE'D THEY FIND THAT,
WHICH SECTION?
TWO AISLES DOWN
FROM THE TAINTED
BOTTLE OF ASPIRIN.
SOUNDS LIKE
THE MARTINVILLE NOTE.
DO WE KNOW SOMETHING
ABOUT THAT?
UNSOLVED CASE, CAPTAIN.
OVER-THE-COUNTER ANTI-FLATULENCE
LACED WITH RAT POISON.
UH... THE VICTIM,
MR. LAHEY WON'T BE OF HELP.
DOCTORS SEEM TO THINK
HE'S NOT GOING TO
REGAIN CONSCIOUSNESS.
PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS
FOUND NO PRINTS ON THE NOTE.
WE HAVE GRAPHOLOGY
AND PAPER-CONTENTS
STUDY UNDERWAY.
OUR DETECTIVES ARE CONTINUING
INVESTIGATION OF THE PHARMACY
TO SEE IF OTHER MERCHANDISE
IS INVOLVED.
HOW LONG AM I
GOING TO BE CLOSED, CAPTAIN?
WELL, THEY HAVE
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
VOLUNTEERS OVER THERE.
I DON'T THINK
IT'S GONNA BE TOO MUCH LONGER.
FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, MY SALARY
IS A PERCENTAGE OF GROSS.
LIEUTENANT GOLDBLUME, HERE,
WILL SUPERVISE THE CASE,
COORDINATING DR. HURLEY
AND FBI AGENT COLEMAN.
BUREAU'S LOOK-SEE ONLY
AT THIS POINT, GENTLEMEN,
UNTIL WE FIND THAT THE POISON
CROSSED STATE LINES.
DOCTOR, UNTIL WE GET
SOME MORE DEFINITIVE EVIDENCE,
WE'RE GONNA LEAVE THE DECISION
ON RECALL UP TO YOUR COMPANY.
WE'D LIKE
TO HOLD OFF ON THAT.
LOCALLY,
WE'RE BRINGING IN ANYBODY
WHO'S MADE A COMPLAINT
AGAINST THE STORE.
IF YOU COULD BROADEN,
IN THAT REGARD.
READS OUT PEOPLE
IN YOUR NECK OF THE WOODS
WITH COMPLAINTS
ON OUR PRODUCTS.
WE'LL MAKE A DESK
AVAILABLE TO YOU.
THIS ALL OUR CITY?
A LOT OF ANGRY PEOPLE
IN THE WORLD.
SUPPOSITORIES ARE CLEAN.
YOU KNOW,
I FEEL LIKE SCUM-WAD.
I FEEL LIKE TEN CENTS.
CHICK NEVER TOLD YOU
SHE WAS GETTING MARRIED?
WHAT KNOCKS ME OUT
IS SHE'S GOT THE STONES
TO INVITE ME TO THE CEREMONY.
POOR SANZONE.
SANZONE AND ME WERE IN
THE SAME CLASS AT THE ACADEMY.
NICE GUY?
NOT MUCH IN
THE BRAIN HOUSING DEPARTMENT.
HEY, CHECK FOR PRINTS
ON THAT SUNTAN LOTION TOO,
OKAY, MAURY?
DUDES GET CREATIVE
ONCE THEY GET STARTED.
YOU KNOW, MAYBE I OUGHT
TO TELL SANZONE
WHAT HE'S LETTING
HIMSELF IN FOR.
YEAH, GOOD IDEA, J.D.
JUST GO UP TO THE GROOM
AT THE WEDDING CEREMONY
AND SAY, "I'VE BEEN PLUNKING
YOUR BRIDE."
BELIEVE ME, NEAL,
I'D BE DOING THE GUY A FAVOR.
MAYBE SHE'LL TURN OVER
A NEW LEAF.
CARLOTTA? NO SHOT.
GROCERY LIST.
UM-HMM,
CARLOTTA'S TELEPHONE NUMBER.
ALL FINISHED IN THE OTHER
SECTIONS, DETECTIVE.
12'S THE LAST ONE.
ON TO FEMININE HYGIENE?
[TRAIN BELL RINGING]
THAT'S IT,
GOT A FULL DECK NOW.
SORRY, ESSE, BUT MARIA'S

JOIN THE PARTY.
WHAT YOU THINK

JERRY.
CHECK IT OUT, NORM.
- WHAT FOR?
- SAY WHAT? WHAT FOR, HUH?
HEY, BOBBY, STOP REPEATING
WHAT EVERYBODY'S SAYING.
SID'S MAN DON'T WANNA TRY IT.
THINKS I'M RUNNING
IN A HUMMER SAMPLE.
I WANNA KNOW IF I'M BUYING
WHAT I'M SAMPLING HERE.
I WANNA SEE THE SUITCASE.
HEY, MARIA...
EVER SEE ME HOLDING ENOUGH
TO RUN A GAME?
I NEVER SEEN YOU
HOLDING, PERIOD.
EVEN SO, BOB,
HE'S GOT A POINT.
BELIEVE ME, TURO,
IT'S AROUND.
HEAVY AS THAT SUITCASE IS,
IT AIN'T GONNA BE FAR AWAY.
ALL RIGHT, COME ON, COME ON,
WHERE IS IT, HUH?
I WANNA HEAR NUMBERS FIRST.
TURO, IT'S HERE!

TAKE IT EASY.
TAKE IT EASY.
JUST TAKE IT EASY.
[POLICE RADIO CHATTER]
SAY, WHAT ARE THE CHANCES
OF KEEPING THIS SITE
SANITIZED OVERNIGHT?
SANITIZED?
YOU'D HAVE TO HAVE
A COP ASSIGNED.
THE RIBBONS WOULDN'T DO IT?
PROBABLY NOT.
PRETTY GOOD CHANCE
IT'D BE VANDALIZED.
AH, THE HECK WITH IT.
WE'LL BE THROUGH.
DID YOU FIGURE IT OUT,
WHAT HAPPENED?
ENGINE MALFUNCTION
CAUSED THE CRASH.
AS FAR AS
WHAT THEY WERE DOING,
WE'VE GOT NO POSITIVES
OFF A COMPREHENSIVE CANVAS
OF ALL THE AIRPORTS.
THERE'S NO I.D.
ON EITHER BODY.
IF I HAD TO GUESS, I'D SAY
THEY WERE UP TO NO GOOD.
THEY'RE IN
THE RIGHT NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO YOU DON'T THINK
THIS WOULD DO IT, HUH?
[CHUCKLING]
[BELKER]
EXCUSE ME, I WAS TOLD
THIS VOUCHER
WOULD BE GOOD
FOR ONE NIGHT'S LODGING.
TAKE A WALK.
WE DON'T DO THIS HERE.
THIS IS MY CHIT.
LOOK, YOU WANT FOUR BUCKS?
WAIT 'TIL TOMORROW.
LENNY HANDLES THAT.
I DON'T WANT FOUR BUCKS.
- I WANT A ROOM.
- A ROOM, HUH?
I GOT A BUSTED THERMOSTAT,
BAD COUGH.
I OUGHT TO BE INDOORS.
OKAY, PAL, GREAT,
HE'LL TAKE CARE OF YA.
FRIEND.
SAY, WERE YOU, UH,
HELD BACK IN SCHOOL?
WHAT?
I'M SAYING, 'CAUSE YOU'RE SUCH
A SLOW LEARNER.
CUT THE JOKES.
THEY TOLD ME
THAT CHIT GETS ME A ROOM.
AH, YEAH, SURE.
[COUGHING]
AHH!
AHH!
YOU GET THE MESSAGE YET?
HUH, SLOWER LEARNER?
ALL THAT CHIT IS GOOD FOR
IS SOME ROT GUT
TO KEEP YOU LOADED.
[BABY CRYING]
YOU GOT A PROBLEM, AMIGO?
NO, NO, NO, SIR, NO, SIR.
WELL, THEN SHUT
THE FREAKIN' DOOR.
I'M SORRY... I'M SORRY.
NOW, I GUESS THAT THEY
DIDN'T CHECK OUT YET.
ARE YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANNA
SELL YOUR CHIT?
WHEN WILL MY ROOM BE READY?
YOU AIN'T GONNA DO IT, PAL.
I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU
BRING ME DOWN.
YOU JUST HAVE A NICE DAY.
[BABY CRYING]
ARE YOU OKAY?
HUH, CAN YOU WALK?
- YEAH.
- GOOD.
OKAY.
YOU STAY HERE.
SEE LIEUTENANT BUNTZ, STAN?
UH, HE'S GOT A MORNING MEETING
ON HIS UNDERCOVER, LIEUTENANT.
HE AIN'T CHECKED IN YET.
MESSAGE IN CASE HE CALLS?
- UH... ONLY IF HE GETS BACK.
- UH-HUH.
WE NEED ALL THE HELP
WE CAN GET
QUESTIONING PEOPLE
ON THIS POISON CASE.
UH, DON'T RAIN BUT IT POURS,
RIGHT, LIEUTENANT?
I CAN SHOW YOU MY CASE NOTES.
I PREDICTED THIS SITUATION
A LONG TIME AGO.
LOOK, IT'S OBVIOUS
SHE'S GOT TO BE CHARGED.
BUT IT'S ALSO OBVIOUS,
SHE DIDN'T WANNA DO
WHAT SHE DID.
SEE WE FIGURED,
JUDGE WOULD BE LENIENT
IF HE FELT THE SITUATION
WASN'T GOING TO BE REPEATED.
UNLESS THAT HOME SITUATION
CHANGES,
I HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE
IT WON'T BE REPEATED.
MRS. WASHINGTON
IS A RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIC.
MR. WASHINGTON IS RAPIDLY
APPROACHING HELPLESS SENILITY.
NOW AS WELL-INTENDED
AS THEIR GRANDDAUGHTER IS,
SHE HAS NEITHER THE MONEY
NOR THE EMOTIONAL WHEREWITHAL
TO TAKE CARE
OF THOSE PEOPLE.
NOW, I MADE PROVISIONS
ALMOST TWO MONTHS AGO
FOR MR. WASHINGTON TO BE
INSTITUTIONALIZED AT LARCHMORE.
AND I KNOW MRS. WASHINGTON
CAN BE TAKEN
TO THE BAPTIST HOME.
AND THE GRANDDAUGHTER
FOUGHT IT?
WELL, EVIDENTLY
WHEN THE MOTHER WAS DYING
SHE SECURED A DEATHBED PROMISE
FOR BRENDA TO CARE FOR THEM.
WHAT ARE YOU TELLING THEM
MRS. LANE?
I'M NO GOOD?
YOU'RE TELLING THEM...
MA'AM, BRENDA.
[SHOUTING]
WE NEED TO WORK THINGS OUT
SO EVERYBODY'S INTERESTS
ARE PROTECTED.
YOU THINK I DON'T LOVE
MY GRANDPARENTS?
NO, NO, NO, WE KNOW
YOU LOVE THEM.
I LOVE THEM.
I AM TRYING
TO TAKE CARE OF THEM.
BRENDA, MRS. LANE SAYS
YOU HAVE YOUR OWN APARTMENT.
WHO'S GONNA
TAKE CARE OF THEM?
SHE SAID YOUR GRANDFATHER
NEEDS TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL
AND THAT YOUR GRANDMOTHER
COULD GO TO THE BAPTIST HOME.
HOSPITAL DIDN'T
MAKE A PROMISE,
I PROMISED, I DID.
YOU PROMISED YOUR MOTHER
THAT YOU WOULD TAKE CARE OF THEM
THE BEST YOU COULD, RIGHT?
THAT'S RIGHT,
THAT'S RIGHT.
AND NOW YOU'RE SO WORN OUT
FROM TRYING
THAT YOU MADE
A SERIOUS MISTAKE.
WE KNOW YOU LOVE THEM,
BUT IF YOU'RE SO TIRED
THAT YOU CAN'T
MAKE GOOD DECISIONS,
BRENDA, SOMEONE ELSE
IS GONNA HAVE TO DECIDE
WHAT'S BEST FOR THEM.
LET ME HELP.
LET ME HELP, PLEASE.

PRESCRIPTION EXHILARANTS?

THE WORLD, COUNSELOR?

[CHUCKLING]
DON'T TRY ANY FAST GETAWAYS.

UH, FRANK, I, UH, I JUST
WANTED TELL YOU THAT
I'M CALLING
A SURPRISE INSPECTION
OF MY EMERGENCY ACTION TEAM
TOMORROW A.M.
OH?
ASSUMING, OF COURSE,
THAT YOU-- YOU APPROVE.
IT'S YOUR CALL, HOWARD.
THE FACT IS, FRANK, I, UM,
I FEEL THAT
A SURPRISE INSPECTION
OF THE ENTIRE SHIFT AT TURNOUT
IS AN INSUFFICIENTLY EMPLOYED
MORALE BOOSTER.
HOWARD, ROLL CALL'S SUPPOSED TO
GET THE MEN OUT ON THE STREETS
WHERE THE CRIMINALS ARE.
ONLY SPEAKING FROM
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, CAPTAIN,
I FIND THAT IT KEEPS
AN OFFICER ON HIS TOES.
SURPRISED MYSELF THIS MORNING
WITH AN INSPECTION.
HOW'D YOU DO?
UH... ON REPORT,
FRAYED RIGHT CUFF.
YOU'RE THE ONE
THAT GOT ME INTO THIS.
YOU GOT YOURSELF INTO THIS.
YOU'RE NEXT, FLOYD,
RIGHT THIS WAY, PLEASE.
- IT WAS ABOUT MY PANTYHOSE.
- YOU WROTE A LETTER--
I PUT 'EM ON
AND THE SEAM UNRAVELS.
SO I FILED A COMPLAINT.
YOU THINK THAT I WOULD POISON
A WHOLE CITY
BECAUSE I HAVE A RUN
IN MY PANTYHOSE?
IT'S THE GUARD DOGS,
THOSE CRAZY DOBERMANS.
AT THE PHARMACY?
YES, A MAN CAN'T SLEEP,
A MAN CAN'T THINK.
YOU KNOW THEY OUGHT
TO WALK THEM MORE.
THERE'S A REPORT THAT YOU
THREATENED MANAGEMENT
OVER A YEAR AGO.
GUY RUNS THE STORE,
CATCHES MY SON
TAKING SOME BAND-AIDS.
HE BURNED HIM
WITH A CIGARETTE.
I TOLD HIM IF HE TOUCHED MY BOY
AGAIN, I'D KILL HIM.
THAT STILL GOES.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, DOCTOR?
WELL, NOTHING
FITS THE PROFILE.
HAS YOUR COMPANY DECIDED
ON THE RECALL YET, DOCTOR?
UH, LIEUTENANT, THAT ISN'T
A DECISION YOU COME TO LIGHTLY.
I KNOW.
A DECISION LIKE THAT
HAS TREMENDOUS RIPPLE EFFECTS.
- EMOTIONAL, ECONOMIC...
- I KNOW.
JUST ONE ASPECT.
KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO LOMAX
PHARMACEUTICAL STOCK
IF IT TURNS OUT
THIS ISN'T A LOCAL CRANK?
IF THIS RECALL GOES NATIONAL?

- IT WAS ETHAN'S GATT.
- MINE, SUCKER?
- WHO BOUGHT IT FROM BROWN?
- AND WHOSE MONEY WAS IT?
HEY, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
THE GATT WAS IN THERE.
BELIEVE THAT.
IT WAS YOUR CAR, FOOL.
IF THEY'RE GOING TO ROLL OVER
ON EACH OTHER,
THEY'RE GOING TO NEED

EVEN IF IT WERE LEGAL
FOR ME TO TAKE ON ALL THREE,
IT WOULD PREJUDICE
THEIR CASE.

I'LL HAVE TWO OTHER P.D.s

I JUST WANNA THANK YOU

- WELL, WHAT DO YOU

ARREST MRS. ALFREDO?
ARREST

NO, I JUST WANNA KNOW,
THEY CAN'T MAKE ME PAY THIS,
CAN THEY?
NO, SIR.
NO, THEY CAN'T MAKE YOU PAY.
I MEAN, THAT'S A LEGAL OPINION
YOU'RE GIVING ME?
OH, MISTER, PLEASE, I--
SIR, I'M AN ATTORNEY,
THEY CAN'T MAKE YOU PAY.
I PAY MY BILLS,
I DON'T WANT ANY TROUBLE.
I MEAN, IF I HAD TO PAY,
YOU KNOW, IF THEY MADE ME, WELL,
I'VE BEEN SAVING
FOR THE KIDS' EDUCATION
AND, AND, THERE'S THE HOUSE,
I COULD JUST ABOUT COVER IT
IF I HAD TO.
IT'S THEIR MISTAKE,
IT'S UP TO THEM TO FIX IT.
COURSE IT WOULD BE
A TERRIFIC SETBACK FOR US.
BUT THEN THAT'D BE
YOUR LEGAL OPINION,
THAT I'M PROBABLY ALL RIGHT?
YEAH.
OH!
EXCUSE ME.
CAN I SHOW YOU SOMETHING?
YEAH, WHERE DO YOU WANT
THESE PHONES?
NO, IT'S THESE BILLS HERE.
HEY...
YOU KEEP ME AROUND
AND I'LL DO YOU BETTER
THAN YOU CAN BELIEVE.
YEAH, OKAY, BABY.
THAT HURTS.
- HOW FAR?
- CLOSE.
WE'RE GETTING CLOSE, RIGHT?
YEAH.
IT'S ONLY A LITTLE WAYS MORE.
HEY, NORM, IT'S OUR LIVES

YOU KNOW, I BEEN THINKING.
WHAT'S GOOD HAVING
ALL THAT MONEY IN A BOX
IF WE'RE NOT ALIVE

- NO, MAN, IT'S MY LIFE.
YOU KNOW,
HE'S TAKING THE $40,000,
BUT HE'S GOT MORE THAN THAT.
SHUT UP, SID,
WHY DON'T YOU SHUT UP, HUH?
THERE'S $40,000 AT THE PLACE

WE SHOULD BE GOING UPSTATE.

WHO SAW THE PLANE COME DOWN?
[ALL]
I DID, I DID...
I WANNA KNOW WHO ACTUALLY
SAW THE PLANE HIT
AND EXPLODE INTO FLAMES.
I DID, MISTER.
- YOU LIE, EVANDER.
- I SAW IT.
YOU WAS AT BREAKFAST.
...PLANE WRECK, I HAD TO FIGHT
MY WAY THROUGH.
RIGHT, RIGHT,
CAN WE SEE SOME I.D., PLEASE?
LOOK, I'VE GOT TO GO THROUGH
THAT WRECKAGE
AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
I'VE GOTTA RETRIEVE
THE BLACK BOX
AND THE OCCUPANTS'
PERSONAL EFFECTS.
YEAH, WELL, HOW COME
THEY SENT TWO OF YOU?
SORRY?
THAT GUY RIGHT THERE,
HE'S FROM THE F.A.A. TOO.
AND HE HAPPENS
TO HAVE I.D., SIR.
UH-HUH, WELL, HE'S PROBABLY
FROM A DIFFERENT FIELD OFFICE.
RIGHT, RIGHT.
YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO BE
A LOOTER, WOULD YOU?
OH, NO, NO, NO, I GOTTA GO.
[WOMAN]
OKAY, YOU GOT THE AIRPLANE
IN THE BACKGROUND?
I'M TALKING WITH F.A.A.
INSPECTOR JAMES FOREMAN.
ANY PRELIMINARY THEORIES,
MR. FOREMAN,
ABOUT THE CAUSE
OF THIS CRASH?
WE'RE JUST BEGINNING
TO ASSEMBLE THE DATA.
I'M TOLD, AS OF YET,
NO MANIFEST, FLIGHT
OR DESTINATION PLAN HAVE BEEN
FOUND FILED FOR THIS PLANE
AT ANY OF THE LOCAL AIRPORTS.
WE'RE JUST BEGINNING
TO LOOK INTO THAT.
IS IT POSSIBLE THIS FLIGHT'S
PURPOSE WAS CRIMINAL?
NO CONTRABAND'S
BEEN FOUND ON SITE.
YOU'VE GOT TO EXCUSE ME NOW.
IN A DENSELY POPULATED AREA,
THERE WERE NO FATALITIES
OTHER THAN
THE FLIGHT'S OCCUPANTS.
WOULDN'T YOU CALL THAT
A MIRACLE?
EVERYTHING
IS VERY PRELIMINARY.
MR. FOREMAN,
ONE MORE QUESTION, PLEASE.
AS THE INVESTIGATION
CONTINUES,
WE WILL BE GIVING UPDATES
THROUGHOUT THE DAY...
[BOYS SHOUTING]
HEY, HOW COME YOU AIN'T TRYING
TO GET ON TV, DEIRDRE?
[CHATTER]
INTAKE ON RENALDO LIMON,
SERGEANT.
TRADE YOU
FOR A PHILLIP ALLEN.
THOUGHT YOU'D GET AHEAD OF ME,
DIDN'T YOU?
MORNING, STANISLAUS.
MORNING, LIEUTENANT.
HEY, HOW ABOUT
THAT AIR WRECK?
OH, EXTRAORDINARY.
OH, 50 FEET EITHER WAY,
WHO KNOWS HOW MANY
WOULD'VE DIED.
IT'S THE LUCKIEST THING
I EVER HEARD OF.
WELL, NOT THAT THE GENTLEMEN
IN THE COCKPIT
WOULD NECESSARILY SHARE
YOUR OPINION.
NO PROBLEM, JIMMY.
I CAN IMAGINE HOW MANY CALLS
YOU'RE JUGGLING.
YOU APPELLATE CLERKS MAKE
THE WHOLE JUDICIAL PROCESS RUN.
[CHUCKLING]
YOU'RE RIGHT, IT'S RANKING
UP IN FLATTERY.
JIMMY, UH, IF YOU COULD
JUST PERSUADE JUDGE KRAMER
TO GRANT ME
ONE MORE EXTENSION.
I'VE BEEN SWAMPED AND I JUST
WANT THE BRIEF TO MAKE SENSE.
MY SOLEMN OATH, NEVER AGAIN.
YOU'RE A LOVE.
- NATE, HOW ARE YOU.
- HI, JOYCE.
SERGEANT, WHICH ROOM?
INTERROGATION TWO.
I'M OKAY.
JUST ABOUT OKAY.
YOU MISS BEING A PROSECUTOR?
AT LEAST I ALWAYS
HAD THE WORK, HUH?
TRUTH IS, JOYCE...
IT'S NOT HAPPENING FOR ME
IN PRIVATE PRACTICE.
WHAT DO YOU SAY, NATE?
HEAR ABOUT THOSE BUSTS
IN THE RED ZONE?
THEY USE A NET?
THAT SWEEP WAS TOTALLY,
100% SHAKY.
WE SHOULD'VE TAKEN
FIVE MINUTES,
GET 'EM ENJOINED
ON PROBABLE CAUSE BEFOREHAND.
- MEANING, I SHOULD HAVE.
- SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE.
ME GO TO JUDGE KRAMER
WHEN I AM TEN DAYS LATE
FILING AN APPEAL ON DESANTOS?
NOW WE'LL HAVE TO
TAKE THEM CASE BY CASE.
GIVE ME THE ONES
YOU HAVE TO GIVE ME, DANNY.
IS THAT WHAT YOU WANNA HEAR?
I'LL LEAVE THEM
AT THE FRONT DESK.
SEE YA, NATE.
JOYCE, THERE'S SOMETHING
I'M ASKING YOU HERE.
I'M TRYING
TO BECOME AN AFFILIATE P.D.
NOW, NATURALLY,
I'M NOT TOO POPULAR
HAVING BEEN
ON THE OTHER SIDE.
BUT IN THE MEANTIME...
IN THE MEANTIME,
IF I HAVE A CLIENT
I CAN PASS ONTO YOU,
I'LL BE HAPPY TO, OKAY, NATE?
- ICE MAIDEN, HUH?
- EXCUSE ME?
UH, THAT'S WHAT THE A.D.A's
USED TO CALL YOU.
NOT ME, THEN!
NOW NOW... EVER.
I JUST WANT IT ON RECORD.
THIS GUY MIGHT'VE
DONE IT HIMSELF.
I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, SIR.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED,
WHAT THIS GUY
MIGHT'VE BEEN UP TO.
THE INVISIBLE MAN?
GUY COMES INTO MY STORE,
TERRIBLE HEADACHE.
HE'S GOTTA TAKE THE ASPIRINS
RIGHT THERE.
I GIVE HIM SOME WATER,
HE TAKES 'EM,
DOUBLES OVER LIKE THAT.
WHO DOUBLES OVER?
YOU THE ONE'S
GONNA TAKE THIS DOWN?
I'M GONNA NEED
A POLICE REPORT.
WHAT YOU GOTTA DO
IS NOTIFY THE DISTRIBUTOR,
LOMAX PHARMACEUTICALS.
THESE GOTTA BE TESTED.
WHAT GUY DOUBLED OVER?
WITH THE HEADACHE,
HE'S IN MY CAR.
YOU SAYING
THESE MIGHT BE POISON?
YOU LEFT THE GUY IN YOUR CAR?
HEY, LOOK, YOU GOT LIABILITY
QUESTIONS HERE.
I MEAN, IF THIS STUFF IS POISON,
I WANT IT ON RECORD
THAT YOU GOT NOTIFIED
SOON AS POSSIBLE TIME.
- WHERE YOU PARKED?
- UP THE CORNER.
YOU CAN'T GET SPACES
AROUND HERE.
COUNTY MEDICAL, STAN,
GET A WORK-UP ON THOSE PILLS.
ALL RIGHT.
PLANE CRASH?
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
I THOUGHT
IT WAS GONNA HIT ME.
AND PEOPLE WONDER
WHY I DRINK.
LODGING CHITS!
THANK YOU, MA'AM.
CHITS FOR LODGING!
EXCUSE ME...
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
LETS YOU STAY OVERNIGHT.
CRANE, DRAKE,
OR FENWICK HOTEL.
LODGING CHITS!
IT'S FROM THE WELFARE.
THAT'S WORTH MONEY
FOR DINNER.
IT'S GOOD FOR COCKTAILS
BEFORE DINNER.
AND AFTER DINNER TOO.
OH, I THOUGHT
IT WAS FOR A ROOM.
WEATHERMAN SAYS CLEAR SKIES.
IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH COCKTAILS,
I FIND DINNER
TAKES CARE OF ITSELF.
HEY, HEY, BUCK FOR A CHIT,
WHO WANTS IT?
HOW 'BOUT YOU, PAL?
PUT A DOLLAR
IN YOUR POCKET RIGHT NOW.
YOU'RE JUST TAKING ADVANTAGE
OF HIM BECAUSE HE'S GREEN.
DON'T SELL CHEAP.
MAN FROM THE HOTEL
GIVES US FOUR.
HE'S WAITING IN MY PLACE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
THE HOTEL GUY BUYS THESE CHITS?
FOUR BIG ONES.
[POLICE SIREN]
[BELKER]
WHAT DO YOU FIGURE THE HOTEL GUY
DOES WITH THESE CHITS?
[HORN HONKING]
- I MEAN, IF WELFARE--
- I DON'T KNOW, MISTER.
DOES HE EVER RENT THE ROOMS OUT
AGAIN TO OTHER PEOPLE?
DID YOU EVER SEE HIM DO THAT?
HE GIVES US FOUR BUCKS,
AND WE TAKE THE MONEY
AND BUY COCKTAILS.
MARSHA, IS THIS ZUCCHINI
ANY COUNT?
ALMOST... ALMOST READY.
- ASK HIM.
- ASK ME WHAT?
OH, I WAS ASKING
ABOUT THE CHITS.
FOUR BUCKS.
SOLD!
RIGHT.
YOU GROW THIS?
YUP.
COME ON, BUDDY,
I AIN'T GOT ALL DAY.
NO.
I'M GONNA KEEP THE CHIT,
I WANNA SLEEP AT THE HOTEL.
YOU WANNA SLEEP
AT OUR HOTEL?
THIS IS GOOD FOR SLEEPING THERE,
ISN'T IT?
YEAH, I'LL MAKE SURE
THAT THEY LEAVE A CHOCOLATE MINT
ON YOUR PILLOW.
YOU SHOULD STAY OUTSIDE.
IT'S COCKTAIL HOUR.
[DISTANT JACKHAMMERING]
I'M ALLOWING MYSELF
THE FLICKER OF A HOPE.
YOU ALLOW YOURSELF
WHATEVER YOU WANT, SID.
I'M ALLOWING MYSELF
HOPE, NORMAN,
BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T BEEN
IN CONTACT WITH YOUR HOME BASE.
THAT'S 'CAUSE MAYBE I WANNA
GET THIS THING TAKEN CARE OF
WITHOUT GETTING DROWNED
IN ALPHABET SOUP.
THE NARCOTICS,
FIREARMS, DEA, FBI.
YMCA, I KNOW, NORM, I KNOW.
GO ON, SAY HELLO.
ROBERTO!
THERE IS MY GUY.
HEY, WAIT A MINUTE,
SOMETHING IS DIFFERENT HERE.
SOMETHING IS, UH, IS CHANGED
FROM BEFORE, RIGHT?
WHAT'S GOING ON?
YOU KNOW, YOU WERE
SO UPTIGHT BEFORE.
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER YOU NOTICED
NORM SITTING IN THE BAR.
I NOTICED HIM.
ANYWAYS... IT'S A HELL
OF A COINCIDENCE
BECAUSE NORM IS POSITIONED
TO DISTRIBUTE THAT PRODUCT
THAT YOU MENTIONED.
THINK I'M A PUSHOVER,
DON'T YOU, SID?
EXCUSE ME?
THINK I'M JUST GONNA ROLL OVER
AND GIVE THAT THING UP.
- [CHUCKLING]
- OH, HEY, BOBBY!
YOU INTERRUPT A MOVE I'VE BEEN
TRYING TO SET FOR THREE WEEKS.
I PUT MYSELF OUT
TO HELP YOU.
NOW YOU'RE GONNA SIT THERE
AND GO PARANOID ON ME?
HEY, NOT THAT THIS ISN'T
A GREAT THRILL FOR ME
WATCHING YOU
SUCK YOUR BLANKET,
BUT, UH, I UNDERSTOOD
YOU GOT STUFF TO SELL.
I GOT STUFF, MAN,
DID YOU SEE THAT SUITCASE?
YEAH, I SAW IT,
AND I WANNA KNOW
IF IT'S ON THE PREMISES
AND WHAT'S INSIDE IT?
BOBBY, I SAW THE SODA.
NORM'S LOOKING
FOR CONFIRMATION.
THERE'S GONNA BE AN AUCTION.
- COME AGAIN?
- AN AUCTION?
I PUT THE WORD OUT.
STUFF'S GOING BEST OFFER.
CASH ON THE TABLE.
OH, BOBBY.
I PUT THE WORD--
COUPLE OF SERIOUS PEOPLE.
GONNA LET THE FREE MARKETPLACE
SET THE PRICE.
YOU DUMB CLUCK.
WHAT'S A MATTER, SID,
AFRAID YOU'RE GONNA SEE
SOMEBODY YOU OWE?
[LAUGHING]
WHEN DOES THIS, UH,
AUCTION TAKE PLACE?
WHAT TIME IS IT?
11:00.
IT'S ALL ABOUT TO HAPPEN.
HOW'D THIS GUY
LIVE THIS LONG?
SHE'S UNDER TOO MUCH PRESSURE.
SHE'S TAKING TOO MUCH
ON TO HERSELF.
ALL RIGHT, MA'AM.
- THIS ISN'T LIKE HER.
- OKAY.
I'M SORRY, BRENDA.
THEY WON'T LISTEN.
THEY DON'T MIND.
WHAT'S GOING ON, MA'AM?
SO YOU EXPLAIN TO ME,
YOU TELL ME HOW TO DO.
[RENKO]
CALM DOWN, MA'AM.
MA'AM.
OH, PAPI, OH, I'M SORRY.
PAPI...
[ANDY]
THIS OLD MAN LOOKS LIKE
HE'S IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE.
HELLO, PUDDING.
WHEN DID YOU COME HERE?
PAPI, I'M SORRY I HIT YOU.
[ANDY]
TAKE A LOOK AT THAT EYE.
[BOBBY]
HOW LONG AS THIS BEEN GOING ON?
[WOMAN]
OH, GOD, SHE NEVER
BEAT HIM BEFORE.
THIS IS PITIFUL.
SHE'S THE ONLY ONE,
IT'S HER GRANDPARENTS.
HER MAMA DIED AND SHE'S THE ONLY
ONE TO TAKE CARE OF 'EM.
CALL THE PARAMEDICS, ANDY.
COULD YOU, UH, STAY HERE
A WHILE, MRS. HARRISON?
MY OWN'S COMING AT NOON.
ALL RIGHT.
COULD YOU GET UP, PLEASE?
OFFICER, BRENDA'S
A GOOD GIRL.
SHE'S ONLY TRYING
TO HELP US.
HE PUT THE PORK CHOPS
DOWN THE SINK
AND THE PIPES
GOT ALL BACKED UP.
I HAD A WHOLE DINNER
LAID OUT.
ALL RIGHT.
I'M A PHONE OPERATOR,
I BRING HOME $223 A WEEK.
I'M PAYING THE PLUMBER,
I CAN'T GET THEIR MEDICINE.
PAPI...
MRS. HARRISON IS GONNA
STAY WITH YOU A WHILE.
HELLO, PUDDING.
YOU MAKING A PHONE CALL?
BOBBY, PARAMEDICS
ARE ON THE WAY.
I'M GONNA NEED MY SCARF.
OKAY.
AND MY FELT HAT.
- ARTHUR.
- I KNOW.
REMEMBER LAST TIME
WHAT I SAID
ABOUT ANOTHER ARREST?
I KNOW, I REMEMBER.
IT'S A THIRD OFFENSE,
ARTHUR.
THAT MEANS IT'S GOING TO BE
A LOT OF TIME.
I CAN HANDLE THE JUNK.
HALF THE PEOPLE
INSIDE IS HIGH.
BUT I LIKE MY FREEDOM.
I LIKE TO BE ABLE
TO SMELL THE AIR...
AND YET, YOU PULL A 2-11.
TWO STORES FROM A CORNER
WITH A TRAFFIC COP.
HAVE THEM PUT ME
NEXT TO SOMEBODY.
IN THE SLAMS, PUT ME
NEXT TO SOMEBODY BIG.
SOMEBODY THAT THEY WANT
REAL BAD.
I MEAN, I COULD HEAR
WHAT THEY GOT TO SAY
AND MAYBE I CAN GIVE 'EM UP.
I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.
I AIN'T GOT NOTHING ELSE
BUT MY JONES, MISS DAVENPORT.
I DON'T RUN WITH NOBODY.
I DON'T CUT NOBODY, I ROB.
I AM A SMALL TIMER.
I AIN'T GOT ANYTHING ELSE
TO DEAL.
WHAT YOU'RE ASKING...
I KNOW A LOT OF LAWYERS
THAT SETS STUFF LIKE THIS UP.
I'M NOT ONE OF THEM.
YOU KNOW ONE?
I'LL THINK, I'LL SEE.
"WHEN WILL THEY LEARN,
WHAT WILL IT TAKE?
MUST SOMEONE DIE,
MORE TO FOLLOW."
WHERE'D THEY FIND THAT,
WHICH SECTION?
TWO AISLES DOWN
FROM THE TAINTED
BOTTLE OF ASPIRIN.
SOUNDS LIKE
THE MARTINVILLE NOTE.
DO WE KNOW SOMETHING
ABOUT THAT?
UNSOLVED CASE, CAPTAIN.
OVER-THE-COUNTER ANTI-FLATULENCE

UH... THE VICTIM,
MR. LAHEY WON'T BE OF HELP.

HE'S NOT GOING TO
REGAIN CONSCIOUSNESS.

IS INVOLVED.
HOW LONG AM I
GOING TO BE CLOSED, CAPTAIN?
WELL, THEY HAVE
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
VOLUNTEERS OVER THERE.
I DON'T THINK
IT'S GONNA BE TOO MUCH LONGER.
FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, MY SALARY
IS A PERCENTAGE OF GROSS.

WILL SUPERVISE THE CASE,
COORDINATING DR. HURLEY
AND FBI AGENT COLEMAN.
BUREAU'S LOOK-SEE ONLY
AT THIS POINT, GENTLEMEN,
UNTIL WE FIND THAT THE POISON
CROSSED STATE LINES.

SOME MORE DEFINITIVE EVIDENCE,
WE'RE GONNA LEAVE THE DECISION
ON RECALL UP TO YOUR COMPANY.
WE'D LIKE
TO HOLD OFF ON THAT.

WHO'S MADE A COMPLAINT
AGAINST THE STORE.

IN THAT REGARD.

IN YOUR NECK OF THE WOODS

I FEEL LIKE SCUM-WAD.
I FEEL LIKE TEN CENTS.
CHICK NEVER TOLD YOU
SHE WAS GETTING MARRIED?
WHAT KNOCKS ME OUT
IS SHE'S GOT THE STONES
TO INVITE ME TO THE CEREMONY.
POOR SANZONE.
SANZONE AND ME WERE IN
THE SAME CLASS AT THE ACADEMY.
NICE GUY?
NOT MUCH IN
THE BRAIN HOUSING DEPARTMENT.
HEY, CHECK FOR PRINTS
ON THAT SUNTAN LOTION TOO,
OKAY, MAURY?
DUDES GET CREATIVE
ONCE THEY GET STARTED.
YOU KNOW, MAYBE I OUGHT
TO TELL SANZONE
WHAT HE'S LETTING
HIMSELF IN FOR.
YEAH, GOOD IDEA, J.D.
JUST GO UP TO THE GROOM
AT THE WEDDING CEREMONY
AND SAY, "I'VE BEEN PLUNKING
YOUR BRIDE."
BELIEVE ME, NEAL,
I'D BE DOING THE GUY A FAVOR.
MAYBE SHE'LL TURN OVER
A NEW LEAF.
CARLOTTA? NO SHOT.
GROCERY LIST.
UM-HMM,
CARLOTTA'S TELEPHONE NUMBER.
ALL FINISHED IN THE OTHER
SECTIONS, DETECTIVE.
12'S THE LAST ONE.
ON TO FEMININE HYGIENE?
[TRAIN BELL RINGING]
THAT'S IT,
GOT A FULL DECK NOW.
SORRY, ESSE, BUT MARIA'S
GOTTA SEE IF YOU'RE PACKING.
YEAH, UNDERSTOOD,
NO PROBLEM.
MAKES ME FEEL
MORE COMFORTABLE.
ESPECIALLY WHO'S DOING
THE FRISKIN'.
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT.
HE'S OKAY.
JOIN THE PARTY.
WHAT YOU THINK
OF THAT STUFF, LUIS?
IT'S ALL RIGHT, MAN.
- IT'S ALL RIGHT, HUH?
- ALL RIGHT, MAN.
ARTURO,
SEE IF IT'S ALL RIGHT.
I'M ON IT, BOB, I'M ON IT.
JERRY.
CHECK IT OUT, NORM.
- WHAT FOR?
- SAY WHAT? WHAT FOR, HUH?
HEY, BOBBY, STOP REPEATING
WHAT EVERYBODY'S SAYING.
SID'S MAN DON'T WANNA TRY IT.
THINKS I'M RUNNING
IN A HUMMER SAMPLE.
I WANNA KNOW IF I'M BUYING
WHAT I'M SAMPLING HERE.
I WANNA SEE THE SUITCASE.
HEY, MARIA...
EVER SEE ME HOLDING ENOUGH
TO RUN A GAME?
I NEVER SEEN YOU
HOLDING, PERIOD.
EVEN SO, BOB,
HE'S GOT A POINT.
BELIEVE ME, TURO,
IT'S AROUND.
HEAVY AS THAT SUITCASE IS,
IT AIN'T GONNA BE FAR AWAY.
ALL RIGHT, COME ON, COME ON,
WHERE IS IT, HUH?
I WANNA HEAR NUMBERS FIRST.
TURO, IT'S HERE!
- THAT'S IT, NOW...
- HOLD IT, HOLD IT!
WHAT DID YOU
DO TO ME, MARIA?
GET DOWN, GET DOWN, COOL IT!
ARTURO!
- OH MY GOD.
- BOBBY.
[SID]
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO,
LISTEN, LISTEN, PLEASE.
I GOT $40,000.
HE'S GOT $40,000, HE DOES.
I SWEAR, I SWEAR.

IT'S OUTSIDE!
YOU GOT $40,000?
I SWEAR, HONEST TO GOD!
YOU LYING TO ME?
I'LL TAKE YOU TO IT!
COME ON, GET UP!
JUST DON'T SHOOT.
- DON'T SHOOT, TAKE IT EASY.
- GET UP!
TAKE IT EASY.
TAKE IT EASY.
JUST TAKE IT EASY.
[POLICE RADIO CHATTER]
SAY, WHAT ARE THE CHANCES
OF KEEPING THIS SITE
SANITIZED OVERNIGHT?
SANITIZED?
YOU'D HAVE TO HAVE
A COP ASSIGNED.
THE RIBBONS WOULDN'T DO IT?
PROBABLY NOT.
PRETTY GOOD CHANCE
IT'D BE VANDALIZED.
AH, THE HECK WITH IT.
WE'LL BE THROUGH.
DID YOU FIGURE IT OUT,
WHAT HAPPENED?
ENGINE MALFUNCTION
CAUSED THE CRASH.
AS FAR AS
WHAT THEY WERE DOING,
WE'VE GOT NO POSITIVES
OFF A COMPREHENSIVE CANVAS
OF ALL THE AIRPORTS.
THERE'S NO I.D.
ON EITHER BODY.
IF I HAD TO GUESS, I'D SAY
THEY WERE UP TO NO GOOD.
THEY'RE IN
THE RIGHT NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO YOU DON'T THINK
THIS WOULD DO IT, HUH?
[CHUCKLING]
[BELKER]
EXCUSE ME, I WAS TOLD
THIS VOUCHER
WOULD BE GOOD
FOR ONE NIGHT'S LODGING.
TAKE A WALK.
WE DON'T DO THIS HERE.
THIS IS MY CHIT.
LOOK, YOU WANT FOUR BUCKS?
WAIT 'TIL TOMORROW.
LENNY HANDLES THAT.
I DON'T WANT FOUR BUCKS.
- I WANT A ROOM.
- A ROOM, HUH?
I GOT A BUSTED THERMOSTAT,
BAD COUGH.
I OUGHT TO BE INDOORS.
OKAY, PAL, GREAT,
HE'LL TAKE CARE OF YA.
FRIEND.
SAY, WERE YOU, UH,
HELD BACK IN SCHOOL?
WHAT?
I'M SAYING, 'CAUSE YOU'RE SUCH
A SLOW LEARNER.
CUT THE JOKES.
THEY TOLD ME
THAT CHIT GETS ME A ROOM.
AH, YEAH, SURE.
[COUGHING]
AHH!
AHH!
YOU GET THE MESSAGE YET?
HUH, SLOWER LEARNER?
ALL THAT CHIT IS GOOD FOR
IS SOME ROT GUT
TO KEEP YOU LOADED.
[BABY CRYING]
YOU GOT A PROBLEM, AMIGO?
NO, NO, NO, SIR, NO, SIR.
WELL, THEN SHUT
THE FREAKIN' DOOR.
I'M SORRY... I'M SORRY.
NOW, I GUESS THAT THEY
DIDN'T CHECK OUT YET.
ARE YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANNA
SELL YOUR CHIT?
WHEN WILL MY ROOM BE READY?
YOU AIN'T GONNA DO IT, PAL.
I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU
BRING ME DOWN.
YOU JUST HAVE A NICE DAY.
[BABY CRYING]
ARE YOU OKAY?
HUH, CAN YOU WALK?
- YEAH.
- GOOD.
OKAY.
YOU STAY HERE.
SEE LIEUTENANT BUNTZ, STAN?
UH, HE'S GOT A MORNING MEETING
ON HIS UNDERCOVER, LIEUTENANT.
HE AIN'T CHECKED IN YET.
MESSAGE IN CASE HE CALLS?
- UH... ONLY IF HE GETS BACK.
- UH-HUH.
WE NEED ALL THE HELP
WE CAN GET
QUESTIONING PEOPLE
ON THIS POISON CASE.
UH, DON'T RAIN BUT IT POURS,
RIGHT, LIEUTENANT?
I CAN SHOW YOU MY CASE NOTES.
I PREDICTED THIS SITUATION
A LONG TIME AGO.
LOOK, IT'S OBVIOUS
SHE'S GOT TO BE CHARGED.
BUT IT'S ALSO OBVIOUS,
SHE DIDN'T WANNA DO
WHAT SHE DID.
SEE WE FIGURED,
JUDGE WOULD BE LENIENT
IF HE FELT THE SITUATION
WASN'T GOING TO BE REPEATED.
UNLESS THAT HOME SITUATION
CHANGES,
I HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE
IT WON'T BE REPEATED.
MRS. WASHINGTON
IS A RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIC.
MR. WASHINGTON IS RAPIDLY
APPROACHING HELPLESS SENILITY.
NOW AS WELL-INTENDED
AS THEIR GRANDDAUGHTER IS,
SHE HAS NEITHER THE MONEY
NOR THE EMOTIONAL WHEREWITHAL
TO TAKE CARE
OF THOSE PEOPLE.
NOW, I MADE PROVISIONS
ALMOST TWO MONTHS AGO
FOR MR. WASHINGTON TO BE
INSTITUTIONALIZED AT LARCHMORE.
AND I KNOW MRS. WASHINGTON
CAN BE TAKEN
TO THE BAPTIST HOME.
AND THE GRANDDAUGHTER
FOUGHT IT?
WELL, EVIDENTLY
WHEN THE MOTHER WAS DYING
SHE SECURED A DEATHBED PROMISE
FOR BRENDA TO CARE FOR THEM.
WHAT ARE YOU TELLING THEM
MRS. LANE?
I'M NO GOOD?
YOU'RE TELLING THEM...
MA'AM, BRENDA.
[SHOUTING]
WE NEED TO WORK THINGS OUT
SO EVERYBODY'S INTERESTS
ARE PROTECTED.
YOU THINK I DON'T LOVE
MY GRANDPARENTS?
NO, NO, NO, WE KNOW
YOU LOVE THEM.
I LOVE THEM.
I AM TRYING
TO TAKE CARE OF THEM.
BRENDA, MRS. LANE SAYS
YOU HAVE YOUR OWN APARTMENT.
WHO'S GONNA
TAKE CARE OF THEM?
SHE SAID YOUR GRANDFATHER
NEEDS TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL
AND THAT YOUR GRANDMOTHER
COULD GO TO THE BAPTIST HOME.
HOSPITAL DIDN'T
MAKE A PROMISE,
I PROMISED, I DID.
YOU PROMISED YOUR MOTHER
THAT YOU WOULD TAKE CARE OF THEM
THE BEST YOU COULD, RIGHT?
THAT'S RIGHT,
THAT'S RIGHT.
AND NOW YOU'RE SO WORN OUT
FROM TRYING
THAT YOU MADE
A SERIOUS MISTAKE.
WE KNOW YOU LOVE THEM,
BUT IF YOU'RE SO TIRED
THAT YOU CAN'T
MAKE GOOD DECISIONS,
BRENDA, SOMEONE ELSE
IS GONNA HAVE TO DECIDE
WHAT'S BEST FOR THEM.
LET ME HELP.
LET ME HELP, PLEASE.
GOT ANY
PRESCRIPTION EXHILARANTS?
PLANNING TO TAKE ON
THE WORLD, COUNSELOR?
JUST TRYING TO LIVE IN IT.
[CHUCKLING]
DON'T TRY ANY FAST GETAWAYS.
- STOLEN?
- NO, UNIFORM TURNED THEM IN.
AND THEY WERE STICKING
OUT OF THE DOOR OF YOUR CAR.
UH, FRANK, I, UH, I JUST
WANTED TELL YOU THAT
I'M CALLING
A SURPRISE INSPECTION
OF MY EMERGENCY ACTION TEAM
TOMORROW A.M.
OH?
ASSUMING, OF COURSE,
THAT YOU-- YOU APPROVE.
IT'S YOUR CALL, HOWARD.
THE FACT IS, FRANK, I, UM,
I FEEL THAT
A SURPRISE INSPECTION
OF THE ENTIRE SHIFT AT TURNOUT
IS AN INSUFFICIENTLY EMPLOYED
MORALE BOOSTER.
HOWARD, ROLL CALL'S SUPPOSED TO
GET THE MEN OUT ON THE STREETS
WHERE THE CRIMINALS ARE.
ONLY SPEAKING FROM
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, CAPTAIN,
I FIND THAT IT KEEPS
AN OFFICER ON HIS TOES.
SURPRISED MYSELF THIS MORNING
WITH AN INSPECTION.
HOW'D YOU DO?
UH... ON REPORT,
FRAYED RIGHT CUFF.
YOU'RE THE ONE
THAT GOT ME INTO THIS.
YOU GOT YOURSELF INTO THIS.
YOU'RE NEXT, FLOYD,
RIGHT THIS WAY, PLEASE.
- IT WAS ABOUT MY PANTYHOSE.
- YOU WROTE A LETTER--
I PUT 'EM ON
AND THE SEAM UNRAVELS.
SO I FILED A COMPLAINT.
YOU THINK THAT I WOULD POISON
A WHOLE CITY
BECAUSE I HAVE A RUN
IN MY PANTYHOSE?
IT'S THE GUARD DOGS,
THOSE CRAZY DOBERMANS.
AT THE PHARMACY?
YES, A MAN CAN'T SLEEP,
A MAN CAN'T THINK.
YOU KNOW THEY OUGHT
TO WALK THEM MORE.
THERE'S A REPORT THAT YOU
THREATENED MANAGEMENT
OVER A YEAR AGO.
GUY RUNS THE STORE,
CATCHES MY SON
TAKING SOME BAND-AIDS.
HE BURNED HIM
WITH A CIGARETTE.
I TOLD HIM IF HE TOUCHED MY BOY
AGAIN, I'D KILL HIM.
THAT STILL GOES.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, DOCTOR?
WELL, NOTHING
FITS THE PROFILE.
HAS YOUR COMPANY DECIDED
ON THE RECALL YET, DOCTOR?
UH, LIEUTENANT, THAT ISN'T
A DECISION YOU COME TO LIGHTLY.
I KNOW.
A DECISION LIKE THAT
HAS TREMENDOUS RIPPLE EFFECTS.
- EMOTIONAL, ECONOMIC...
- I KNOW.
JUST ONE ASPECT.
KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO LOMAX
PHARMACEUTICAL STOCK
IF IT TURNS OUT
THIS ISN'T A LOCAL CRANK?
IF THIS RECALL GOES NATIONAL?
KNOW THE KIND OF DOLLARS
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT?
WHAT KIND OF A DOCTOR
ARE YOU?
MANAGEMENT SCIENCE.
ELLROY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS.
THREE AT A TIME, IRWIN?
JUST THROUGH INTAKE, JOYCE.
THREE KIDS IN A CAR.
THEY'RE STOPPED FOR SPEEDING.
THERE'S A .22 UNDER THE SEAT,
PLAIN AS DAY.
UNDER THE SEAT, PLAIN AS DAY.
WHY DO I THINK
THERE'S A CONTRADICTION?
STOP IT, MAN.
HEY, HOMEBOYS,
YOU'RE GIVING ME A HEADACHE.
HEY, I'LL SAVE YOU ALL
A LOT OF TROUBLE, MAN.
- IT WAS ETHAN'S GATT.
- MINE, SUCKER?
- WHO BOUGHT IT FROM BROWN?
- AND WHOSE MONEY WAS IT?
HEY, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
THE GATT WAS IN THERE.
BELIEVE THAT.
IT WAS YOUR CAR, FOOL.
IF THEY'RE GOING TO ROLL OVER
ON EACH OTHER,
THEY'RE GOING TO NEED
SEPARATE COUNSEL.
EVEN IF IT WERE LEGAL
FOR ME TO TAKE ON ALL THREE,
IT WOULD PREJUDICE
THEIR CASE.
PLEASE?
I'LL HAVE TWO OTHER P.D.s
ASSIGNED BEFORE QUESTIONING.
JOYCE?
I JUST WANNA THANK YOU
FOR GIVING ME ARTHUR BAKER.
ARTHUR'S A REAL PRIZE.
NO, IT REALLY HELPS ME.
YOU SHOULD TAKE TEN PERCENT.
I DON'T WANT TEN PERCENT, NATE,
BUT THERE'S SOMETHING I DO WANT.
I DON'T WANT ARTHUR
USED AGAINST ANY OF MY CLIENTS.
USED?
I THINK
YOU UNDERSTAND ME, NATE?
TWO HAVE PRIORS,
MISDEMEANORS.
ETHAN DILLON HAS
A WARRANT OUTSTANDING.
ROBBERY-HOMICIDE.
MOM AND POP STORE.
HE BLEW AWAY MOM
WITH A .22.
WILL YOU BE CLAIMING
THE SAME WEAPON?
YOU WILL BE
THE FIRST TO KNOW.
ETHAN.
YOU KNOW, THE POLICE
HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND YOU
SINCE MAY?
WHO, ME?
THEY SPELLING MY NAME RIGHT?
SERGEANT, I'LL TALK TO THEM
IN INTERROGATION "A."
[TEEN]
OH, MAN, TAKE IT EASY.
COME ON, LET'S GO.
- OFFICER?
- YES?
I'M HERE
ABOUT MY PHONE BILL.
OH, WE STOPPED TAKING
THOSE PAYMENTS A LONG TIME AGO.
BUT THIS ONE IS FOR $37,640.
PHONE COMPANY SAID SOMEBODY
TIED INTO MY CHARGE NUMBER
AND DISTRIBUTED IT.
MUST'VE SENT IT OUT ON ONE
OF THEM XEROX CHAIN LETTERS.
LOOK, SIR, I'M SORRY
FOR YOUR TROUBLE,
BUT WE GOT A REAL CIRCUS
GOING ON HERE TODAY.
MRS. ALFREDO AT
THE PEARL STREET OFFICE
SAID THAT I SHOULD CIRCLE
EVERY CALL THAT ISN'T MINE,
- I MEAN...
- WELL, WHAT DO YOU
WANT US TO DO?
ARREST MRS. ALFREDO?
ARREST
THE PEARL STREET OFFICE?
NO, I JUST WANNA KNOW,
THEY CAN'T MAKE ME PAY THIS,
CAN THEY?
NO, SIR.
NO, THEY CAN'T MAKE YOU PAY.
I MEAN, THAT'S A LEGAL OPINION
YOU'RE GIVING ME?
OH, MISTER, PLEASE, I--
SIR, I'M AN ATTORNEY,
THEY CAN'T MAKE YOU PAY.
I PAY MY BILLS,
I DON'T WANT ANY TROUBLE.
I MEAN, IF I HAD TO PAY,
YOU KNOW, IF THEY MADE ME, WELL,
I'VE BEEN SAVING
FOR THE KIDS' EDUCATION
AND, AND, THERE'S THE HOUSE,
I COULD JUST ABOUT COVER IT
IF I HAD TO.
IT'S THEIR MISTAKE,
IT'S UP TO THEM TO FIX IT.
COURSE IT WOULD BE
A TERRIFIC SETBACK FOR US.
BUT THEN THAT'D BE
YOUR LEGAL OPINION,
THAT I'M PROBABLY ALL RIGHT?
YEAH.
OH!
EXCUSE ME.
CAN I SHOW YOU SOMETHING?
YEAH, WHERE DO YOU WANT
THESE PHONES?
NO, IT'S THESE BILLS HERE.
HEY...
YOU KEEP ME AROUND
AND I'LL DO YOU BETTER
THAN YOU CAN BELIEVE.
YEAH, OKAY, BABY.
THAT HURTS.
- HOW FAR?
- CLOSE.
WE'RE GETTING CLOSE, RIGHT?
YEAH.
IT'S ONLY A LITTLE WAYS MORE.
HEY, NORM, IT'S OUR LIVES
AT STAKE.
YOU KNOW, I BEEN THINKING.
WHAT'S GOOD HAVING
ALL THAT MONEY IN A BOX
IF WE'RE NOT ALIVE
TO SPEND IT?
LOOK, WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT, SID, HUH?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
I'M TAKING HIM
TO THE MONEY, ALL RIGHT?
- OKAY, OKAY.
- ALL RIGHT.
- [SLAPPING CAR DOOR]
- NO, MAN, IT'S MY LIFE.
YOU KNOW,
HE'S TAKING THE $40,000,
BUT HE'S GOT MORE THAN THAT.
SHUT UP, SID,
WHY DON'T YOU SHUT UP, HUH?
THERE'S $40,000 AT THE PLACE
WE'RE GOING TO,
BUT HE'S GOT MORE
AT THE OTHER PLACE.
WE SHOULD BE GOING UPSTATE.
JUST TAKE US TO THIS.
ALL RIGHT.
SARGE, I GOT A WEDDING.
LITTLE NOTICE
WOULDN'T HURT, DETECTIVE.
I'M GIVING YOU AS MUCH NOTICE
AS THE BRIDE GAVE ME.
I WAS GONNA MAKE THE POP
RIGHT THEN, CAPTAIN,
THEN I SEE THE ROOM
IS STUFFED WITH ILLEGALS.
THEY GET TEN BUCKS PER HEAD
PER NIGHT, CAPTAIN FURILLO...
AND THAT'S ON TOP
OF THE WELFARE SCAM.
IMMIGRATION READY TO MOVE?
WE WOULD LIKE TO BE IN
ON YOUR BUST, SIR.
OUR WARRANTS
ARE READY, CAPTAIN.
- OKAY, DO IT.
- THANK YOU, CAPTAIN.
SO THIS GUY SAYS
THE BUREAU PUT A RADIO CONTROL
IN HIS HEAD.
AND WE ACTIVATE IT AT NIGHT.
THERE'S NO RATIONAL PATTERN
TO FIX ON.
THE ONLY WAY TO CATCH THESE GUYS
IS OUT OF LEFT FIELD.
GENTLEMEN.
MR. LAHEY HAS REGAINED
CONSCIOUSNESS.
OUR DETECTIVES ARE FINISHED
AT THE DRUG STORE.
NOTHING ELSE THERE
HAD BEEN TOUCHED.
OUR COMPANY'S EXTENSIVELY
CHECKED THE DISTRIBUTION LOG
THOSE PAIN RELIEVERS
CAME FROM, CAPTAIN.
- IT'S CLEAN.
- GRAPHOLOGY'S COME UP EMPTY.
PAPER IT WAS WRITTEN ON
IS COMMON AS DIRT.
I BETTER CALL THE MOTEL
AND GET THEM TO EXTEND.
I JUST BEEN THROUGH
ONE OF THESE, YOU KNOW,
DOWN SOUTH.
HAD TO GET A RELEASE
FROM A MAN
WHO'D TAKEN COUGH SYRUP
FULL OF LYE.
WASN'T ANYTHING LEFT
OF HIS LUNGS.
HEARING HIM BREATHE...
QUITE HONESTLY,
I THOUGHT THE MAN
WOULD'VE BEEN BETTER OFF DEAD.
I DID IT!
YOU WANT POISON?
YOU LOOK IN THE FOOD
THAT MANAGER
GIVES HIS CRAZY DOGS, HUH!
EVERY NIGHT I HEAR THEM.
NOW I GET
A LITTLE PEACE AND QUIET.
EXCUSE ME, SIR,
THAT'S MY CUP.
YOU PUT ME WHERE
THEY GOT NO DOBERMAN!
NOW PLAYING LEFT FIELD...
♪♪
AND WITH ALL MY EARTHLY GOODS,
I THEE ENDOW.
AND WITH
ALL MY EARTHLY GOODS,
I THEE ENDOW.
YOU THINK TOMMY HAD TO
WRITE THIS OUT ON HIS CUFF?
[OFFICIANT]
BY THE AUTHORITY VESTED IN ME
IN THE EYES OF GOD AND MAN,
THOMAS AND CARLOTTA,
I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU
MAN AND WIFE.
YOU MAY KISS THE BRIDE.
I'M NOT GONNA
KISS THE BRIDE, OKAY?
[TOMMY]
ALL RIGHT?
WHAT IS IT, TOMMY?
YOU BEEN STEPPIN' OUT, OKAY?
LET ME OUT.
- HEY, SIT DOWN.
- I KNOW WHAT YOU BEEN DOING.
AND I KNOW WHO YOU BEEN
DOING IT WITH, TOO.
JEEZ, PETEY SEVERINO'S
BEEN BOPPING HER TOO.
WE BETTER HELP, MAN.
SANZONE'S GOT SOME GRIP
ON HIM, YOU KNOW.
MAN'S GOT HANDS LIKE A VICE.
[DOOR CLOSING]
- [BANGING ON DOOR]
- HEY!
[CHOKING]
I SHOULD GO TO HIM,
I SHOULD TALK TO HIM.
I WOULD STAY HERE
FOR THE MOMENT.
HE'S RIGHT, CARLY, STAY.
I'M ON FOR 800
FOR A RECEPTION AFTERWARDS.
SHUT UP, DADDY.
I THINK WE MAY HAVE TO
GO CANDID HERE, ALL RIGHT?
IS THERE AN UNDERSTANDING
OF WHAT I'M SAYING?
I MEAN, UH...
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, CANDID?
I MEAN, SEVERINO'S COLOR
AIN'T TOO GREAT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, CARLOTTA?
WHAT'S HE TALKING ABOUT?
WHATEVER'S RIGHT.
[CHOKING]
TOMMY, TOMMY, HEY, HEY.
- WHAT DO YOU WANT, J.D.?
- COME ON.
[CHOKING]
TOMMY, COULD YOU MOVE
YOUR THUMBS JUST A LITTLE.
YOU GOT YOUR THUMBS
RIGHT ON MY WINDPIPE.
MOVE YOUR THUMBS, TOMMY.
THINK I WANNA DO THIS, HUH?
OH, THANKS, OH, GOD.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
MY BEST MAN!
DEPENDS, DEPENDS ON WHO ELSE
WAS INVOLVED.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
TOMMY, NOBODY WANTS
TO THROW STONES HERE,
BUT THE TRUTH IS,
BEFORE MARRIAGE,
SOME PEOPLE
ARE SEXUALLY ACTIVE.
AND I THINK THAT
THAT MIGHT POSSIBLY
JUST BE THE CASE HERE.
- CARLOTTA?
- CARLOTTA.
HOW MANY MORE,
CARLOTTA, HUH?
OH, DAD!
HOW MANY?
LET SEVERINO GO,
WOULD YOU, TOMMY?
HOW MANY?!
TOMMY, I WAS WATCHING
THIS MOVIE LAST NIGHT.
IT'S FRANK SINATRA
AND JACK HAWKINS.
AND HAWKINS IS TELLING SINATRA
ABOUT THIS TRIBE
THAT'S ONLY GOT THE NUMBERS
ONE, TWO, AND THREE.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
ABOVE THAT,
ALL THIS TRIBE SAYS IS,
"MORE THAN THREE."
IT'S THEIR ONLY OTHER NUMBER.
HMM.
OH, TOMMY, THANKS.
ALL RIGHT, OKAY, ALL RIGHT.
THE THING'S GOT A COMBINATION
TO IT, ALL RIGHT?
I STOLE IT FROM A WAREHOUSE.
- THERE, ALL RIGHT?
- ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, LISTEN, YOU GOT ME
SCARED NOW, I'M TELLING YOU.
I'M AFRAID
I'M GONNA OPEN THE SAFE
AND YOU'RE GONNA
BLOW MY HEAD OFF.
- GO ON, DO IT, MAN!
- IT'S OKAY, MAN, HE'S COOL.
HE'S AFRAID,
WE'RE BOTH AFRAID.
I'M AFRAID THAT I'M GONNA
OPEN THE SAFE
AND THAT'S WHEN
YOU'RE GONNA DO IT TO ME.
THAT'S WHEN
YOU WON'T NEED ME ANYMORE.
OPEN IT, MAN!
ALL RIGHT, I'M SCARED,
ALL RIGHT?
YOU GOT ME AFRAID THAT--
THAT YOU'RE GONNA
DO IT TO ME THEN...
IF YOU DON'T OPEN IT,
I'LL BLOW YOUR FACE OFF.
I'LL BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF
RIGHT NOW!
YOU BETTER DO IT, MAN.
OKAY, I'M GONNA DO IT NOW.
I'M OPENING
THE SAFE, NOW, SEE.
I'M OPENING THE SAFE NOW.
I'M OPENING IT UP, PLEASE.
- OPEN IT OR I'LL SHOOT YOU!
- JUST TAKE IT EASY.
OH MY GOD, PLEASE,
DON'T KILL US.
- DON'T KILL US.
- I'M OPENING IT.
I'M OPENING THE SAFE,
ALL RIGHT, TAKE IT EASY.
OPEN IT
OR I'LL SHOOT YOU NOW!
- ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, GOD.
- I'M OPENING IT UP.
ALL RIGHT, TAKE IT EASY.
I'M OPENING IT UP.
YOU'RE OPENING IT NOW, NORM?
I'M ON THE LAST NUMBER NOW,
SID, YOU HEAR ME?
PLEASE, DON'T KILL ME!
NORM, I'M TAKING HIM NOW.
- YOU SON OF A...
- [GUNSHOT]
[SOBBING]
OH... NORM.
YOU'RE A JERK
FOR COMING BACK.
NOW LENNY'S GONNA GET CRAZY.
WHAT IS THIS?
THE GLUTTON
FOR PUNISHMENT CONTEST?
CERVEZA... CERVEZA FRIA.
BEER? WHAT ELSE?
I'M TIRED.
I WANT A ROOM.
UNBELIEVABLE.
DO I GET A ROOM?
[SCOFFING]
YOU GET NOTHING.
YOU GET HURT!
AHH.
[GROWLING]
AHH!
WHEN DO I GET HURT,
SLIME FACE?
- HUH?
- IMMIGRATION, HOLD IT!
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.
I'M A POLICE OFFICER,
AND YOU ARE BUSTED!
[POLICE SIREN]
I'M GOING TO BE MOVING
BACK TO MY APARTMENT.
IN THE MORNINGS, MRS. HARRISON'S
GONNA MAKE YOU YOUR BREAKFAST.
OH?
BRENDA TOLD ME
JUST HOW YOU LIKE IT.
HOW 'ABOUT THAT?
AND, UM, MEALS ON WHEELS
IS GOING TO COME BY
DURING THE DAY,
AND I'LL HAVE SUPPER WITH YOU
EVERY NIGHT.
IS IT 'CAUSE
I MADE A MISTAKE
ABOUT THE PORK CHOP
THE OTHER NIGHT?
ARE YOU IN TROUBLE, BRENDA?
IT'S GONNA BE BETTER
FOR US NOW, GRANDMA.
I WAS TRYING TO DO TOO MUCH.
AND IT MADE ME UPSET.
AND SO I WASN'T
HELPING YOU AT ALL.
IT'S GONNA BE BETTER
FOR US NOW.
NO THANKS, PUDDING.
I DON'T BELIEVE
I COULD EAT A THING.
YOU REALLY THINK
IT'S GONNA WORK?
I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE.
OH, YEAH.
DON'T GET OLD, RENKO.
I'M GONNA START LYING
ABOUT MY AGE.
THAT WON'T GET IT.
I JUST WANNA POINT OUT
A FACT TO YOU, NORMAN.
THERE'S A CAR
PARKED OUT IN FRONT
WITH A SUITCASE IN THE TRUNK.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE
A PART OF ANY OF THIS.
FORGET IT, SID.
I'M JUST SAYING,
I'M JUST MAKING AN OBSERVATION.
NO SHOT.
- POLICE.
- [DOOR KNOCKING]
YEAH, LIEUTENANT BUNTZ,
HILL STREET.
THESE.
ALSO, THERE'S
AN ASSOCIATED 14-17,
THIRD FLOOR LOFT,
DECKER AND SWENSON.
ALSO GOT A CRACK WAGON
PARKED OUTSIDE.
A SUITCASE FULL OF SODA
IN THE TRUNK.
IT'S A BURGUNDY CUTLASS.
THIS THE PERP?
NO.
NO, JUST
AN IMPOVERISHED CITIZEN.
HOW DID YOUR KEYS GET THERE?
I PUT THEM THERE.
YOU SURE?
WHEN DID YOU
PASS THE BAR EXAM, FURILLO?
I FOUND THEM IN THE DOOR
WHEN I CAME IN.
YOU'RE KIDDING?
WOULD I KID YOU?
PORTRAIT OF A PERSON
SPREAD SO THIN,
SHE DOESN'T KNOW
IF SHE'S ON FOOT OR HORSEBACK.
I'D SAY IT'S THE PORTRAIT
OF A PERSON
KEEPING 12 PLATES
SPINNING IN THE AIR.
HOW COME I SEE THEM
ALL TEETERING
AND FALLING TO THE FLOOR?
COULD BE WORSE.
COULD'VE BEEN ON THAT PLANE
THAT CRASHED ON INGRAM AVENUE.
IN WHICH CASE, I WOULD'VE BEEN
A DOPE SMUGGLER.
[CHUCKLING]
[PHONE RINGING]
HELLO?
YES, NATE.
ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU FOR CALLING.
WHAT'S WRONG?
SOMEONE I REPRESENTED
UNTIL THIS MORNING...
ARTHUR BAKER.
HE WAS A FRIGHTENED,
LITTLE DRUG ADDICT AND THIEF,
AND HE WAS STABBED
AT MICHIGAN AVENUE HOLDING.
OH, GOD.
I WONDER
IF THEY HEARD ME TALKING.
WHO?
THE KID WHO KILLED HIM
WAS ONE OF THE KIDS
THAT I DID INTAKE ON TODAY,
AND MAYBE HE HEARD ME
TALKING TO HIS LAWYER
ABOUT ARTHUR
BEING AN INFORMANT.
[EXHALING]
OH, FRANK.
ALL THOSE PLATES.
[SNIFFLING]
ALL OF THEM SPINNING.
IF WE SEE HIM AGAIN,
WE SHOULD MAKE HIM
GIVE US MONEY.
IF I SEE HIM AGAIN,
HE BETTER HAVE EYES
BEHIND HIS HEAD
'CAUSE I'MA HIT HIM
WITH A BRICK.
WHAT DO YOU THINK WAS IN IT?
IN THAT SUITCASE?
DRUGS.
I BET IT WAS MONEY,
ENOUGH MONEY TO MAKE YOU RICH.
MAYBE THEY WERE
GOING SOMEPLACE.
GOING AWAY TO THE ISLANDS.
