not yet pedro here 10th precinct
yeah i'm on the way dinner time please
yeah let's go
[Music]
real thing this time right so anybody
hurt no just shook up
hey we drill isn't lieutenant fine on
suspension
how come he's inside
but first i thought it was a joke
someone from the office
we should add them mrs lloyd returned
just a second check the garage see if
the tires picked up any oil backing up
what the hell are you doing here i am
here in an unofficial capacity you're
interfering in a department
investigation against direct orders
it's my case
[Applause]
you're sick charlie this is sick
you're like an addict who can't kick oh
this is beautiful
first you sound like restless now you
sound like my wife there's a big
difference
your wife won't arrest you for this
stunt
adam you're not serious you come within
a mile of a crime scene again i'll
arrest you on the spot
get some help charlie
[Applause]
so how's it going i got prince and some
fabric samples i'll get back to the
precinct and find the lloyd's statement
hold on let me see that
gold pen setting and a diamond necklace
valued at seven thousand dollars
you asked the lloyds if maybe they got
some pictures of these items or a
videotaper no well they didn't offer
you should have asked
did you by any chance make a videotape
of your household
yes for the insurance company we taped
every room
even the safe so we'd have proof
are you saying that my insurance company
did this
or someone who has access to your
insurance company can you give us the
tape
well if i had it my son taped over it
last year some
mtv concert but i can get a copy from my
insurance company
oh it's okay we'll handle it thank you
let me get this straight these people
tape their stuff for protection the
wrong guys get it and suddenly home
shopping network
we've got work
i'll get the walker's tape see what i
can see i'll get the victim's phone
numbers from them the insurance carriers
it's gone
hey o'neill o'neil
where's the dinner time file how should
i know serge
has anybody been here since we left just
the regulars
although i guess the lt isn't in that
category anymore
lieutenant pond was here about 20
minutes ago yeah
packing up his personal files
that's not all he packed up that's great
we break a case and our boss runs off
with the evidence
okay if you hear anything get back to me
any luck with charlie oh
uh no one's seen him or heard from him
well maybe he's taking your advice and
he's off somewhere dealing with his
problems
he's out there somewhere on the case oh
after what you told him last night that
you'd arrest him i don't think so
he's hurting malloy he's just not
rational
adam i know it's small consolation but
you have done the right thing
all along i just never thought i'd have
to lose the friendship to save the
friend
and i think i have anybody here
i'll get it
oh hi bobby what's going on i didn't
want to have this conversation in the
office
but i read something interesting in your
report from last night
an off-duty member of the force was also
at the scene of the crime
that's what you wrote here that's true
pine takes time off between blowing out
tv sets to interfere
at the scene of a crime and you buried
in your report
he's a friend he's a spectacle and he's
damaging
the department
what about the damage to the man is that
why you came to see me in the first
place
if charlie shows up at another scene
he won't i hope not for both of you
because i don't think charlie could take
losing his badge permanently
any more than you could take letting him
lose it
morning you want to bring me up to speed
insurance companies i'll check out so
far
they gave us all these tips and they
could have made us wait for a subpoena
here
what are we looking for i'm not sure but
this is vhs
yeah all the insurance tapes are on vhs
however the families are on beta
right
there's two formats made in vhs
something ties these tapes together
there's gotta be an answer in there
somewhere great
what's the question mr walker can you
tell me why you had your own videotape
made on beta and the insurance companies
done in vhs
the insurance company asked us to submit
vhs they said beta was becoming obsolete
so we
had our old tape transferred
well a-okay video transfer
kelp let me see the problem
okay okay
okay okay all families
where is that mr walker elman third but
i've already told your
lieutenant pine what
when was he here 20 minutes ago he's on
his way to the tape place now
i use your phone thanks
hi kelsey and i are on our way to aok
video transfer
elm and third pine's on his way
make sure we don't find him there yeah
yeah uh okay i'll take care of it
can i help you hope so
huh just set go i'll get my boss
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
put that over here
[Music]
everyone get out
[Music]
[Music]
charles pine jr
snow on your junior
[Music]
[Music]
lieutenant charles pine lieutenant
the hell are you doing here favorite for
a friend
adam told you to follow me yeah but the
favor
was for you
charlie the back door is over there are
you coming
yeah along with every mask you can find
eh
how much you want to bet these match the
fibers in our evidence locker
just what i thought get him out of here
i think i just saw lieutenant pine's car
leaving on my way in is that possible
i don't see how that could be
[Music]
that's right the dinnertime case has
been sold
when asked detective sergeant adam
boudreau the 10th precinct said they
could have convicted the four men
on evidence alone but in a late
development one of the men
is turning evidence against the others
again detective budreau reports that the
10th precinct's dinnertime case
has been solved and the kenwood area is
breathing a sigh of relief
we go now to one of those families
i didn't hear your name in there
anywhere
i wasn't in on the end
i'll come there was a lot of pressure
my superiors thought i should take some
time off while i was off the case got
close
that's so well sometimes the only thing
you can do is
step away for a bit what are you talking
about
your situation son you never pulled back
not in your life
if i hadn't might have been dead right
now you ran from a fire
well the technical word is retrenched
what about fight to the finish uh all
that stuff those were guidelines
guidelines i've been operating on
something you didn't mean i
meant them sometimes a man has to pick
and choose that way you learn to stand
on your own two feet well i don't
remember you letting me
what that's not something you get that's
something you're trying
hey everybody ready ready and raring
dad let me get that for you no way i'm
thought of the day i can't carry my own
bag is the day they lower me six feet
into the ground

[Music]
real thing this time right so anybody
hurt no just shook up
hey we drill isn't lieutenant fine on
suspension
how come he's inside
but first i thought it was a joke
someone from the office
we should add them mrs lloyd returned
just a second check the garage see if
the tires picked up any oil backing up
what the hell are you doing here i am
here in an unofficial capacity you're
interfering in a department
investigation against direct orders
it's my case
[Applause]
you're sick charlie this is sick
you're like an addict who can't kick oh
this is beautiful
first you sound like restless now you
sound like my wife there's a big
difference
your wife won't arrest you for this
stunt
adam you're not serious you come within
a mile of a crime scene again i'll
arrest you on the spot
get some help charlie
[Applause]
so how's it going i got prince and some
fabric samples i'll get back to the
precinct and find the lloyd's statement
hold on let me see that
gold pen setting and a diamond necklace
valued at seven thousand dollars
you asked the lloyds if maybe they got
some pictures of these items or a
videotaper no well they didn't offer
you should have asked
did you by any chance make a videotape
of your household
yes for the insurance company we taped
every room
even the safe so we'd have proof
are you saying that my insurance company
did this
or someone who has access to your
insurance company can you give us the
tape
well if i had it my son taped over it
last year some
mtv concert but i can get a copy from my
insurance company
oh it's okay we'll handle it thank you
let me get this straight these people
tape their stuff for protection the
wrong guys get it and suddenly home
shopping network
we've got work
i'll get the walker's tape see what i
can see i'll get the victim's phone
numbers from them the insurance carriers
it's gone
hey o'neill o'neil
where's the dinner time file how should
i know serge
has anybody been here since we left just
the regulars
although i guess the lt isn't in that
category anymore
lieutenant pond was here about 20
minutes ago yeah
packing up his personal files
that's not all he packed up that's great
we break a case and our boss runs off
with the evidence
okay if you hear anything get back to me
any luck with charlie oh
uh no one's seen him or heard from him
well maybe he's taking your advice and
he's off somewhere dealing with his
problems
he's out there somewhere on the case oh
after what you told him last night that
you'd arrest him i don't think so
he's hurting malloy he's just not
rational
adam i know it's small consolation but
you have done the right thing
all along i just never thought i'd have
to lose the friendship to save the
friend
and i think i have anybody here
i'll get it
oh hi bobby what's going on i didn't
want to have this conversation in the
office
but i read something interesting in your
report from last night
an off-duty member of the force was also
at the scene of the crime
that's what you wrote here that's true
pine takes time off between blowing out
tv sets to interfere
at the scene of a crime and you buried
in your report
he's a friend he's a spectacle and he's
damaging
the department
what about the damage to the man is that
why you came to see me in the first
place
if charlie shows up at another scene
he won't i hope not for both of you
because i don't think charlie could take
losing his badge permanently
any more than you could take letting him
lose it
morning you want to bring me up to speed
insurance companies i'll check out so
far
they gave us all these tips and they
could have made us wait for a subpoena
here
what are we looking for i'm not sure but
this is vhs
yeah all the insurance tapes are on vhs
however the families are on beta
right
there's two formats made in vhs
something ties these tapes together
there's gotta be an answer in there
somewhere great
what's the question mr walker can you
tell me why you had your own videotape
made on beta and the insurance companies
done in vhs
the insurance company asked us to submit
vhs they said beta was becoming obsolete
so we
had our old tape transferred
well a-okay video transfer
kelp let me see the problem
okay okay
okay okay all families
where is that mr walker elman third but
i've already told your
lieutenant pine what
when was he here 20 minutes ago he's on
his way to the tape place now
i use your phone thanks
hi kelsey and i are on our way to aok
video transfer
elm and third pine's on his way
make sure we don't find him there yeah
yeah uh okay i'll take care of it
can i help you hope so
huh just set go i'll get my boss
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
put that over here
[Music]
everyone get out
[Music]
[Music]
charles pine jr
snow on your junior
[Music]
[Music]
lieutenant charles pine lieutenant
the hell are you doing here favorite for
a friend
adam told you to follow me yeah but the
favor
was for you
charlie the back door is over there are
you coming
yeah along with every mask you can find
eh
how much you want to bet these match the
fibers in our evidence locker
just what i thought get him out of here
i think i just saw lieutenant pine's car
leaving on my way in is that possible
i don't see how that could be
[Music]
that's right the dinnertime case has
been sold
when asked detective sergeant adam
boudreau the 10th precinct said they
could have convicted the four men
on evidence alone but in a late
development one of the men
is turning evidence against the others
again detective budreau reports that the
10th precinct's dinnertime case
has been solved and the kenwood area is
breathing a sigh of relief
we go now to one of those families
i didn't hear your name in there
anywhere
i wasn't in on the end
i'll come there was a lot of pressure
my superiors thought i should take some
time off while i was off the case got
close
that's so well sometimes the only thing
you can do is
step away for a bit what are you talking
about
your situation son you never pulled back
not in your life
if i hadn't might have been dead right
now you ran from a fire
well the technical word is retrenched
what about fight to the finish uh all
that stuff those were guidelines
guidelines i've been operating on
something you didn't mean i
meant them sometimes a man has to pick
and choose that way you learn to stand
on your own two feet well i don't
remember you letting me
what that's not something you get that's
something you're trying
hey everybody ready ready and raring
dad let me get that for you no way i'm
thought of the day i can't carry my own
bag is the day they lower me six feet
into the ground
