claire donald what's wrong adam we uh we
got a registered letter from the child
services bureau
they want to take aaron away from us
oh why don't we go where we can talk to
tennis
no visit not even a phone call we just
got a lousy form letter
dear foster parent we want to take your
child away
out of the clear blue sky her father is
out of prison
and has decided he wants his daughter
back since when
jeff krueger never tried to contact
aaron since she took custody of her
and we gave him plenty of chances for us
to bring him for a visit
he never answered and then we get this
i called the man who sent that uh mr
price
i told him about the kind of home we'd
made for aaron but he didn't listen to a
thing we said
just told us to get into his office for
a visit
when this afternoon can you help us
the concept of putting children back
with their natural parents is hardly
revolutionary sergeant patrol
not when the father's a convict
ex-convict
i don't care what you call krueger he
abused his wife before she died and he
abused air and he is not fit to be a
parent
sergeant pedro weren't you responsible
for arresting mr kruger
i was and didn't you also help initiate
the proceedings whereby the franks
became aaron's foster parents
yes but that has nothing to do with
today it certainly mitigates against
your objectivity in this matter
my only concern is the child's
well-being aaron belongs with us
her natural father has served his time
he wants his daughter back
the cost of the hearing will determine
the
no adam rest said when you helped us get
her and you said everything
would be okay it's not boudreau's fault
clear this isn't over yet but when it is
if we have to
we will always do whatever is best for
our daughter you know that
but this jeff krug it can't be it cannot
work
i'm glad i'm wise my mommy's so sad
she's got some things on her mind her
and your daddy both
can you make her stop being so sad
i'm gonna do my best sweetheart

bartender
cherry rivers grady jamison
she get to be so shy
sense of humor i like that
on the house hey
you never take no for an answer do you
no a trait that made you the best rookie
i ever took on
is that why you're so mad at me
because i was good
i'm sorry the bad guys have enough help
already
we needed you you still divide the world
into the good guys and the bad
i don't divide anything i deal with it
come on why don't i let you buy me a
beer
well it was my plan if you'd shown up a
little earlier
but uh i got to get going ah another job
so soon
yeah as a matter of fact i got a call
tonight from uh
rudy carp you know him yeah
the attorney yeah he hired me to look
for a kid who's been snatched by her
foster parents
people by the name of uh frank
this couple the franks uh they took the
kid today
yeah two hours ago skinny is the natural
father wants the kid back
franks don't want to give so they split
have any leads no
but that shouldn't be too hard to find
them they're not pros
anyway you know me i always get my man
[Music]
i disagree captain i'm not being a good
samaritan here
i'm a concerned cop
no i don't understand
but i'll follow orders yes
you ever get here on time on payday yeah
what's going on
i have to run a case for pedro downtown
won't let him near it captain says he's
too personally involved
that's all his cases tell downtown
anyway some foster parents skipped out
with their kid
okay so we go look for the foster
parents you know we go look for the
background on the natural fob
try to prove that the foster parents had
grounds for keeping the kid from now
okay what's pedro doing let's just say
he's moving in mysterious ways
[Music]
shouldn't be doing something besides
watching well no
boudreaux said uh just watch don't
intervene don't initiate
just watch what are you seeing nothing
not outside
the inside let me see
[Music]
doesn't your mother ever clean this car
sometimes she's got to put my little
brother on the run
great looking lady let me see
[Music]
now she looked too old for you my man
he's going through the garbage
isn't that against a lot no i want his
garbage
[Music]
she's gonna lead us right to the little
girl
[Music]
i'm just gonna hang on
let me say this as simply as possible
i've never met a man less likely to
violate his parole than jeff kurtz
maybe he's a good actor or i'm a sucker
is that it
i thought you were off this case i'm uh
here's the concerns
we'll try this citizen bedroom jeff
krueger gets out of prison
gets a job in a grill good pay good
hours but that's not enough for him
he wants a better life not just for him
but for the daughter he's never had a
chance to know
so you know what he does i have a clue
he contacts the owner of a dairy farm in
oregon
the cleanest kind of environment one
could hope to raise a child in
and he arranges to get employment there
you actually believe this got the papers
to prove it
you approve this i'm testifying at the
custody hearing
as soon as they find the little girl
face up a drum
sometimes you're actually wrong about a
case
gotta go officer hindley
[Music]
all right all the new things here you
give me the eyesight
hi hey i just um
moved into the neighborhood and claire
frank
told me that you are the most helpful
pharmacist around
oh it's very kind of what can i do for
your miss
rivers cherry rivers
i don't actually even need a
prescription fill today but i i thought
that
as i was in the shopping center i might
as well open up
an account no problem i was um
trying to to get in touch with claire i
dropped by the house but there was
nobody there
do you know how they gone on vacation
well they had to move out for a couple
of days
oh yeah it seems that the house was
being fumigated and aaron had an
allergic reaction
you know i sent a prescription over to
mr frank's office no more than an hour
ago
oh i guess they're probably staying at a
hotel in town
his office you said
or claire well at least it gets her out
of the house
well that's a good way to look at it
no no no
thank you bye-bye
you just stalled her car yeah you gave
me the eyes i gave you the come over
here
let's follow her son what are you
talking about all right plan with the
staller out you gave me the eye
sign
[Music]
to the kid and we stall her out
what do you mean we
i guess this means i make the call of
the boudreau now
i don't want you to be sorry granny i
want you to undo it and that's
impossible
okay what do you have real officer
wasn't kidding
this krueger's mr clean that's not the
news i was hoping to hear
sorry this routine's really routine work
homework home
the only break is when he sees his
lawyer
sure you come up with the same stuff no
according to one of the guys at kruger's
work seems kruger's got the hots with
this new corvette
to the point where he's been on the
phone to dealers a lot of guys
that's what i said so i checked her out
and guess what
kruger put down a 10 grand deposit on a
60 thousand dollar car
where did you get that kind of money
check was drawn on some
dairy farm in oregon car dealers just
waiting for it to clear
[Music]

sell aaron he already has
and the check from the dairy farm is the
down payment
[Music]

she's got the right paper sargent
he's right about that guys
sorry like it says i'm to take her to
the juvenile authorities
[Applause]
mommy mommy
[Music]
mommy
no i don't have time to answer your
questions i have to get to jeff berger's
custody hearing
even if it's a farce why are you pushing
so hard on this case
i push this hard on every case you're
full
what's your question i was going over
krueger's file
there's a notation that he was
transferred to a prison form but it
doesn't say how long he was there
well that's because it's part of his
medical file but why medical
it turned out he was allergic to
something apparently he had a terrible
reaction and had to be rushed to the
prison hospital
you have the medical file i didn't get
one
you're pushing it
i'll see you later aren't you going to
the hearing oh yeah but i'm going to
bring the millers with me
the folks who are going to blow a very
big hole in your boys
you admit you were notified about this
hearing yes
mr price informed us mr price works for
child services
that's right an agency entrusted solely
with the well-being and safety of
children
objection counsel is editorializing cut
it out
carp of course you're on
mrs frank is it true you took the child
against the wishes of this agency and
the law we didn't think we
yes or no without any regard for the law
or for the well-being of your foster
child you simply took off
we did what we thought was best for our
daughter erin is not your daughter mrs
frank
she is a foster child to us she is our
daughter
this is a court of law mrs frank so the
question is
in the eyes of the law is aaron your
daughter
where were any of you when erin needed a
home
a family who would love her not just
take her in
please don't do this to aaron please
your honor
under the circumstances i think this
would be a good time to take a break
recess one hour
where the millers how should i know
you've stashed them at a hotel they're
waiting to take custody of era now where
are they
are you gonna let go of me or should i
call a bailiff
they did real good tracking down the
franks well thanks
is that how you keep doing this for a
living buy yourself a drink after every
job
jeez are you lighting up
already god you never change
you ever wonder why a sewer rat like
kruger wants the child back
hey that's none of my business okay i
figure carp is a lawyer
everything is above board wrong carp is
helping krueger to sell aaron
oh come on have you cut proof of that
i want to show you something
krueger claims that he's going to work
for a couple from oregon
yeah the millers and he is going to work
on their dairy farm
our only problem is he's allergic to
farms severely allergic
read this prison
admitted to sick bay for allergic
reaction to hay
benedryl and epinephrine
administered so how's he gonna work on a
farm
i must be losing my touch
i believed them
the farmers seem like good people a cart
probably convinced them it's perfectly
legal to buy a kid
i need to talk to the millers patrol
i give you access to the millers i ruin
my reputation with the carps of the
world
i got no departmental pension plan like
you guys okay
let's resume then everyone quiet please
mr
carr do you have any further witnesses
know your honor and since the franks
have presented no evidence to prove that
mr kruger is unfit to be a parent we
rest
attorney for the franks
your honor at this time we'd like to ask
for
an extension on the grounds that you're
reaching because you have no grounds for
an extension that's clear
and having said that i will make my
decision based on the facts
i hereby decree that
[Music]
your honor i would like to call mr and
mrs
james miller of deerfield oregon to the
stand
recess your honor if it pleases the
court
oh it doesn't but i will
we'll reconvene at two o'clock today
[Music]
i told you to keep them out of town
you're the last person to be giving me
advice
genius why don't you tell me you were
allergic to hay you too
shut up or i'll put you in the same
holding tone
put your hands off me i can walk by
myself
yeah right out of here come on
fingerprints left to right oh he still
loves being a big bad cop
i can do it myself you tell him rivers
you tell him
come on cost me money boudreau
yeah well maybe you ought to consider
quitting the business fat
chance
yeah you'll never realize you're not the
ones holding tape
hey listen i've been thinking
maybe i should uh apologize
for taking everything that you taught me
and using it
for the other side of the law
truth is the system let you why
are you so mad at me
i was really proud of you and your
rookie year
and then when you resigned out from
under me i
maybe i wanted you to hurt a little too
i should have called i would have told
you how much i was hurting
i couldn't be you boudreaux
that was too much for me to live up to i
think you sold yourself sure well maybe
you had me up too high
and maybe not you came through on this
case
okay give me a call the next time you're
in town
yes sir

franks don't want to give so they split
have any leads no
but that shouldn't be too hard to find
them they're not pros
anyway you know me i always get my man
[Music]
i disagree captain i'm not being a good
samaritan here
i'm a concerned cop
no i don't understand
but i'll follow orders yes
you ever get here on time on payday yeah
what's going on
i have to run a case for pedro downtown
won't let him near it captain says he's
too personally involved
that's all his cases tell downtown
anyway some foster parents skipped out
with their kid
okay so we go look for the foster
parents you know we go look for the
background on the natural fob
try to prove that the foster parents had
grounds for keeping the kid from now
okay what's pedro doing let's just say
he's moving in mysterious ways
[Music]
shouldn't be doing something besides
watching well no
boudreaux said uh just watch don't
intervene don't initiate
just watch what are you seeing nothing
not outside
the inside let me see
[Music]
doesn't your mother ever clean this car
sometimes she's got to put my little
brother on the run
great looking lady let me see
[Music]
now she looked too old for you my man
he's going through the garbage
isn't that against a lot no i want his
garbage
[Music]
she's gonna lead us right to the little
girl
[Music]
i'm just gonna hang on
let me say this as simply as possible
i've never met a man less likely to
violate his parole than jeff kurtz
maybe he's a good actor or i'm a sucker
is that it
i thought you were off this case i'm uh
here's the concerns
we'll try this citizen bedroom jeff
krueger gets out of prison
gets a job in a grill good pay good
hours but that's not enough for him
he wants a better life not just for him
but for the daughter he's never had a
chance to know
so you know what he does i have a clue
he contacts the owner of a dairy farm in
oregon
the cleanest kind of environment one
could hope to raise a child in
and he arranges to get employment there
you actually believe this got the papers
to prove it
you approve this i'm testifying at the
custody hearing
as soon as they find the little girl
face up a drum
sometimes you're actually wrong about a
case
gotta go officer hindley
[Music]
all right all the new things here you
give me the eyesight
hi hey i just um
moved into the neighborhood and claire
frank
told me that you are the most helpful
pharmacist around
oh it's very kind of what can i do for
your miss
rivers cherry rivers
i don't actually even need a
prescription fill today but i i thought
that
as i was in the shopping center i might
as well open up
an account no problem i was um
trying to to get in touch with claire i
dropped by the house but there was
nobody there
do you know how they gone on vacation
well they had to move out for a couple
of days
oh yeah it seems that the house was
being fumigated and aaron had an
allergic reaction
you know i sent a prescription over to
mr frank's office no more than an hour
ago
oh i guess they're probably staying at a
hotel in town
his office you said
or claire well at least it gets her out
of the house
well that's a good way to look at it
no no no
thank you bye-bye
you just stalled her car yeah you gave
me the eyes i gave you the come over
here
let's follow her son what are you
talking about all right plan with the
staller out you gave me the eye

i don't want you to be sorry granny i
want you to undo it and that's
impossible
okay what do you have real officer

this krueger's mr clean that's not the
news i was hoping to hear
sorry this routine's really routine work
homework home
the only break is when he sees his
lawyer
sure you come up with the same stuff no
according to one of the guys at kruger's
work seems kruger's got the hots with
this new corvette
to the point where he's been on the
phone to dealers a lot of guys
that's what i said so i checked her out
and guess what

[Applause]
mommy mommy
[Music]
mommy
no i don't have time to answer your
questions i have to get to jeff berger's
custody hearing
even if it's a farce why are you pushing
so hard on this case
i push this hard on every case you're
full
what's your question i was going over
krueger's file
there's a notation that he was
transferred to a prison form but it
doesn't say how long he was there
well that's because it's part of his
medical file but why medical
it turned out he was allergic to
something apparently he had a terrible
reaction and had to be rushed to the
prison hospital
you have the medical file i didn't get
one
you're pushing it
i'll see you later aren't you going to
the hearing oh yeah but i'm going to
bring the millers with me
the folks who are going to blow a very
big hole in your boys
you admit you were notified about this
hearing yes
mr price informed us mr price works for
child services
that's right an agency entrusted solely
with the well-being and safety of
children
objection counsel is editorializing cut
it out
carp of course you're on
mrs frank is it true you took the child
against the wishes of this agency and
the law we didn't think we
yes or no without any regard for the law
or for the well-being of your foster
child you simply took off
we did what we thought was best for our
daughter erin is not your daughter mrs
frank
she is a foster child to us she is our
daughter
this is a court of law mrs frank so the
question is
in the eyes of the law is aaron your
daughter
where were any of you when erin needed a
home
a family who would love her not just
take her in
please don't do this to aaron please
your honor
under the circumstances i think this
would be a good time to take a break
recess one hour
where the millers how should i know
you've stashed them at a hotel they're
waiting to take custody of era now where
are they
are you gonna let go of me or should i
call a bailiff
they did real good tracking down the
franks well thanks
is that how you keep doing this for a
living buy yourself a drink after every
job
jeez are you lighting up
already god you never change
you ever wonder why a sewer rat like
kruger wants the child back
hey that's none of my business okay i
figure carp is a lawyer
everything is above board wrong carp is
helping krueger to sell aaron
oh come on have you cut proof of that
i want to show you something
krueger claims that he's going to work
for a couple from oregon
yeah the millers and he is going to work
on their dairy farm
our only problem is he's allergic to
farms severely allergic
read this prison
admitted to sick bay for allergic
reaction to hay
benedryl and epinephrine
administered so how's he gonna work on a
farm
i must be losing my touch
i believed them
the farmers seem like good people a cart
probably convinced them it's perfectly
legal to buy a kid
i need to talk to the millers patrol
i give you access to the millers i ruin
my reputation with the carps of the
world
i got no departmental pension plan like
you guys okay
let's resume then everyone quiet please
mr
carr do you have any further witnesses
know your honor and since the franks
have presented no evidence to prove that
mr kruger is unfit to be a parent we
rest
attorney for the franks
your honor at this time we'd like to ask
for
an extension on the grounds that you're
reaching because you have no grounds for
an extension that's clear
and having said that i will make my
decision based on the facts
i hereby decree that
[Music]
your honor i would like to call mr and
mrs
james miller of deerfield oregon to the
stand
recess your honor if it pleases the
court
oh it doesn't but i will
we'll reconvene at two o'clock today
[Music]
i told you to keep them out of town
you're the last person to be giving me
advice
genius why don't you tell me you were
allergic to hay you too
shut up or i'll put you in the same
holding tone
put your hands off me i can walk by
myself
yeah right out of here come on
fingerprints left to right oh he still
loves being a big bad cop
i can do it myself you tell him rivers
you tell him
come on cost me money boudreau
yeah well maybe you ought to consider
quitting the business fat
chance
yeah you'll never realize you're not the
ones holding tape
hey listen i've been thinking
maybe i should uh apologize
for taking everything that you taught me
and using it
for the other side of the law
truth is the system let you why
are you so mad at me
i was really proud of you and your
rookie year
and then when you resigned out from
under me i
maybe i wanted you to hurt a little too
i should have called i would have told
you how much i was hurting
i couldn't be you boudreaux
that was too much for me to live up to i
think you sold yourself sure well maybe
you had me up too high
and maybe not you came through on this
case
okay give me a call the next time you're
in town
yes sir
unless you're tailing one of my cases
no promises
