00:00Item 17. Item 17 is the matter of a complaint to division concerning the unauthorized body
00:16searches of female suspects. All right, let's settle down. Be reminded, female police officers
00:27will, according to policy, perform all in-depth searches of female suspects.
00:33All right, last item. The last item. Now, earlier this morning we had two more rape
00:45assaults up in St. James Park. Chances are one or both of them fit the pattern of the
00:51eight others we've had in the vicinity of the Botanical Gardens and the reservoir. In other
00:56words, we've got some extremely bad animals out there that need apprehending. So let's
01:02spend a little less time fighting with the hookers and the waitresses and put some heavy attention on them.
01:06All right, let's roll. Hey, let's be careful out there.
01:26Hold on a second. I'll give you a hand. Is that you, Howard? Stand clear, Frank.
01:46I don't like the indiscriminate use of taekwondo, Frank, but I cannot abide close confinement.
02:08It is a sorry state of affairs, Frank, I don't mind telling you, maintenance-wise,
02:20when you have to fight your way out of a men's room stall. I've issued numerous
02:24memoranda to division regarding that very subject, Howard. That left sideburn's a little ragged,
02:30right? Well, it's nothing personal. It's just symptomatic of a far greater malaise.
02:36Well, what might that be, Howard? Judas Priest, Frank. We are coming apart at the seams up here
02:43and you are dashing off memos to division. Procedure, Howard. What can I tell you?
02:49Hang procedure. Mobilize a team of your more domestically oriented female officers and
02:53let's fix this place up. We start tolerating rusty hinges and before you know it, we tolerate
02:58rusty mines. I appreciate your proposal, Howard. I'll consider it. In the meantime,
03:04have a most pleasant morning. Au revoir, Frank. Leaping lizards.
03:28Dispatch, we have a 9-11. Unlock and re-promise. See surplus store corner People's Drive,
03:48124th Street.
04:59Huerta Vailbonds. Vailbonds, sir. Vailbonds. Oh, don't be shy. Here, take two. Huerta Vailbonds.
05:10Oh, my, my. New face. New face, new friends. Huerta Vailbonds. 24-hour service.
05:16Redado, Huerto. Esther House catches you advertising that you're using an 86-year
05:21keister, innit? I'm not arguing. Who's arguing? Am I arguing? Am I arguing? Huerta Vailbonds,
05:26half a block up and across the street. Hold on, Renko, please. Check this out. My cousin had
05:32him print it up. Brand new slogan. The blessing of freedom for a lousy 10%. Let me think. I think
05:39you better get out of here. Oh, Renko, give me a break. He's okay. Relax. Relax. I'm not
05:45excusing him. You better keep that damn away from me. Listen, will you please go to your
05:49tone of voice, Renko? He's only responding to your hostility, not his. Henry, Henry,
05:52what is this? Can you open that door for me? You know, Henry, you missed your calling. You
05:56should have been a mountain. Hey, hi there, fella. Hey, hey, easy, boy, easy. We're on your side,
06:04pal. Pretty dog, huh? Speak for yourself, Henry. That dog is a cop-hater. It's just a stray.
06:12I'll have him out of here in two hours, tops. Last time it took you two weeks.
06:17What am I supposed to do, Leo? Let him get picked up, sent to the gas chamber?
06:22You can cop a plea down to misdemeanor soiling. Sir, sir, I love dogs and I could really help
06:29you out. For instance, I could take him for a walk right away if you'd like. Very creative,
06:35Seymour. Two hours, Leo. Just take me a couple of phone calls to the proper adoption agencies.
06:43Sure, Henry.
06:50Can I help you? I have an appointment with Frank Forillo. The captain is tied up,
06:53ma'am. Maybe I can help you. No, you can't come in, ma'am. Frank. Yes, that's right.
07:01Frank Forillo. How long has it been? How long?
07:07It's been a while. You don't remember me. Sorry, I should.
07:14We do know each other, don't we? I should hope so. Grace Gardner. Of course. Grace,
07:21how are you? You look wonderful. Thank you. Grace, this is Lieutenant Ray Cayetano.
07:28Ray, you remember Chief of Detective Sam Gardner? Pleasure.
07:32My condolences, Mrs. Gardner. Sam was a very fine man. Yes, Sam was okay, thank you. Well,
07:39this dump sure hasn't changed. Only the faces. What brings you up here? The stinker didn't call
07:45you. Chief Daniels promised me faithfully that he would warn you so that my moving in wouldn't
07:50come as a shock. Moving in? Darn that. Man, I thought you knew. I'm sorry. I'll explain.
07:57After Sam died, I decided to pull some strings and come to work for the department. You did?
08:04You bet. In this precinct? Especially this precinct. I figured if I could do something
08:11with this relic, I can tackle anything. Forgive me, Grace, but I don't seem to be
08:15following what you're telling me. I'm attached to central planning, Frank.
08:20I'm your police decorator. I'm not a police decorator. I'm a police officer.
08:28Excuse me, Captain. Lieutenant, we got a guy in a jock strap directing traffic down on Decker
08:32Avenue. Outside our robbery stakeout? You got it. Condenado. Pick up this crutch.
08:39He just said to pick the sucker up. Oh, Frank. I don't want to be considered anything other than
08:49a normal working part of this precinct. So let's all relax. Excuse me. I just got the call,
08:55Francis Belker nailed one of the two rapists at St. James Park. Oh, let's hope he's the big one.
09:02Just a moment, sir. He'll be right with you. Phil Esterhaus. Grace Gardner. How do you do?
09:10Hello. As a matter of fact, Phil here will be your liaison. I will. So, uh,
09:18why not get on with the job? I'm very glad to meet you, Sergeant.
09:28Good looking woman. Nice perfume.
09:34Ah, Chief Daniels.
09:38Captain Ferullo.
09:42Fine. Thank you, sir. How are you, Chief?
09:48Oh, my.
09:5248 hours.
09:56Yes, sir. We're leaving right now.
10:03Great news. The President of the United States wants to visit the Hill.
10:10Counter. Bail bond, sir. Move it! Where's the bail bond? Half a block up across the street.
10:17Don't take jail. Big bail. You stay, I pay.
10:25Freedom for a lousy 10 percent.
10:40Oh.
10:43Wow.
11:06Very refined sense of humor we got around this place.
11:10Shit!
11:19I was thinking of... Mrs. Gardner, I find it hard to understand how a department short of funds can
11:24spend precious dollars on ambiance. Ah, never underrate ambiance, Sergeant. Particularly in
11:30the work environment. This is not a community center. This is a... It certainly isn't. Which
11:34is all the more reason to humanize it, Sergeant. We can't call the 10 grocery stores at the same
11:39time. I know, I know. Look, set up a schedule. Do the best we can. Frank, a word with you,
11:44if I may. Uh, please, Phil, not now. Henry. Yeah, Frank, what's up? Downtown.
11:51Uh, listen, I gotta go. No, tell her he's just a puppy.
11:55No, no, he's college material. Take my word for it. And the cutest little thing...
12:03You will excuse me, won't you, Grace? Whatever that is in there, get rid of it.
12:09No, he's quite spirited, actually.
12:15Good collar, Nick. Well, one out of two ain't good enough, Captain.
12:23I have a hunch you'll correct that. Any connection to the 11 others? No, not much. Maybe
12:27interrogation will turn something, like the name of his running mate. Mirandize him, didn't you? We
12:31don't want to violate any laws. Captain! I mean it, Nick. No mistakes. I don't want to lose this
12:35animal in court. Excuse me, uh, I'm having stress. I want to call my doctor. I'm getting therapy.
12:45Okay.
12:51Sirs, sirs, you're not leaving me alone with him.
13:00What happens if the president can't make it at the last moment, then what?
13:04I don't see that as your concern. Your concern is his safety, should he come. For a press
13:11secretary, you've got a short memory, Mr. Parker. If the president doesn't show, you'll be gone,
13:17and I'll be stuck with the consequences of 10,000 unmet expectations.
13:23What troubles me here, Captain, is your perception of the community up there.
13:28You make it sound like a loose collection of banana republics. In a sense, that's right.
13:35Well, then maybe we should be considering another community in another city. Hill Street's exactly
13:43what the president's looking for, Mr. Parker, believe me. It's really disgusting up there.
13:47You'll get some incredibly effective footage. If you can't deal with it, Frank, I'll put someone
13:53on it who can. Commander, Mr. Parker, Captain Farillo is the only police officer up there who's
14:04respected by everyone, including the youth gangs. I mean, all we really have to do is convene a
14:11summit meeting, tell them the president's coming, and then take it from there. We can do that
14:16easily, Frank. Captain? Captain? We'll do what we can. We'll do our best. And I hear your best is
14:33mighty good, sir. Belly up. Thanks a lot, Henry. I'm sorry. God, am I sorry. Listen,
14:45I couldn't help it. I got this anxiety syndrome around authority. I thought I had a handle on,
14:52but between Commander Swanson and this Parker guy, God, he's got cold eyes.
14:58Listen, Frank, I can understand it if you can't forgive me.
15:05Come on, Henry, I forgive you. No, really. I mean it. Don't fold on me now. I need you to
15:10go back and set up that summit. But how could I have said that? Because it was exactly what
15:14they wanted to hear. See if you can get them all in for, say, four o'clock. I've got a lunch
15:20date I'm already late for. I'll be back right after. I think the bone might help. Oh, I'm sure
15:28the bone is a terrific color for this area. It'll go with the occasional bloodstain.
15:37All right, Sergeant. If you have your little heart set on waging war, you've got it, baby.
15:44Hey, good color, you guys. Thank you so much. You get an assist each. This entire area is
15:50wasted space. This entire area is ridiculous. Hey, look, Bobby's back. Hey. Hey, hell yeah,
16:01we heard about him. He was partnered with Renko, wasn't he? Well, they were sleepwalkers,
16:05but I heard. Well, I wouldn't be so sure what you heard, Fuentes. You know, you guys are new
16:10up here, so let's don't get reckless with our mouths. Hey, Bobby. Hey, Sergeant. How you doing,
16:28huh? I'm doing okay. How you doing? Well, it's just the same old ambiance.
16:37Jeez, good to have you back. You are back, aren't you?
16:46Anytime you say.
16:52So, how's it going around here? I mean, how's your new lady? Cindy. Wow. Get this. Senior
17:02class Sergeant-at-Arms, Chairman of the Prom Committee, Assistant Marching Band Captain,
17:07while maintaining a solid B average. Hey, that sounds great. That girl's got a big future. Big.
17:16You know, Bobby, if you ever want to talk about this.
17:23You know, I've been there myself a time or two.
17:25Thanks a lot. I'm doing okay.
17:31Just takes a little time.
17:44You got Bobby over there?
17:55Okay.
18:13When did you get back? About a week ago.
18:19You look skinny. Yeah, I gotta get my suit older.
18:23You preferring that to the basic blues these days? I don't know. Haven't really thought about it yet.
18:31How you doing? Look, you didn't come in here for a bunch of ha-ha-ies.
18:38What's on your mind? You didn't call. Five weeks in the hospital, Ben. You didn't call.
18:42Belka came by every day. He met a nurse. Well, I figured if you wanted to talk,
18:45you would have called me. Sounds like you did a lot of figuring, my friend. Well,
18:48I had a whole lot of time to. You were lucky, man. You were in a coma for two weeks. Well,
18:55not me, Ben Cole. I never lost consciousness, man. Not for a second.
19:03Lying on that cold tile floor, man, I could feel the blood oozing out of my body, but I
19:08just couldn't move. Yeah, I don't want to hear about this.
19:11It's men, the rats. That wrinkle was crawling on my face, man. I prayed to die.
19:26Occupied. Occupied. Now, you listen to me. The first thing I asked when I came out of it was,
19:34is Bobby still alive? And then they told me yes, and I figured, okay, about a month from now,
19:39we'll be back in business. But you didn't call me. Why? Well, I figured you blamed me for us
19:43getting shot. I figured if I had lost it on the street like that, we would have had to go into
19:47that building. It didn't happen. That's all, wrinkle. It just happened. I never blamed you,
19:53man. Then why the hell didn't you call? Oh, man, I don't know. I guess I just figured things
20:07couldn't go back to the way they were. Can they? I don't know. Something's different.
20:17Well, hallelujah, cowboy. I haven't even gotten a different.
20:24I still got to get past being scared.
20:30I'm not scared of anything or anybody, my friend. People have always been scared of me.
20:36Lying in that hospital bed, I thought God may give me a body like a B-52, but he also gave me
20:41a brain. Now, we don't need to prove we can go out there again, Bobby. That's where it's at for
20:48both of us. If we show them we got some between our ears, we don't have to be sniper meat.
20:53I'm sorry to bust up your reunion, but people are beginning to talk.
21:02Wrinkle, have you got a uniform? Yeah, in my locker. Why?
21:10Well, I'm short-handed today. I got a bunch of guys out with the flu, so if the two of you
21:15No, I'm sorry, Sergeant. My legs still bother me.
21:17Oh, I've been watching you use that prop for days, young fella. Who are you trying to kid?
21:23Maybe we just don't want to be together. Okay, we can work that one out. In the meantime,
21:39I want you to both use Levy and Bartlett's units. Park detail. Yeah.
22:01Very clean, my friend. Fluff and folding. Why don't you just be quiet? Sit everybody
22:05out in their own neat little spot. You want to go for detective? That's fine with me, man. I'll be
22:12more than happy to interview new partners as soon as we're off this shift. You dig? Loud and clear,
22:17my friend. You look at this damn uniform. You coming or what? You hold your water, son. What'd
22:25you say? You heard what I said. You know, if you don't mind, my legs still a bit stiff. You want
22:30me to drive? No, I don't want you to drive. I can't stand the way you drive. Well, fine.
22:45Hi. Sorry I'm late. Go ahead and get away. I've ordered already.
22:53I have to be back in court in half an hour. Frank, this isn't my idea of progress.
23:00Progress? Relationships don't mature in a diet of 20-minute lunches.
23:06I had a meeting this morning with Randy Parker, special assistant to the president of the United
23:12States. What was I supposed to do? Say, excuse me, give the president my regards, but I've got
23:19a hot lunch date. If it was an isolated situation, that would be one thing, but it isn't. Joyce,
23:26please. I've had a terrible morning. I need a little relief. Can't we talk about this later?
23:35When? Tonight. No offense, Captain, but I don't want to fight tonight. I want to do other things.
23:45Perfect. I don't want to make a huge deal about it, Francis, but the woman's being disruptive in
24:03the extremists, if you get my drift. Humor her, will you, Phil? I'm trying, but she's all over
24:09the place. It's not very easy. Uh, I'm on a pay phone here, Phil. What's this group? Well, uh,
24:16looks like it's coming together. Goldbloom's in, and they're trying to convene a summit. Good,
24:21what else? Oh, uh, Belk is interrogating the rape suspect. Alone? No, I put Chesley in with him.
24:29Also, your wife called. Ex-wife. She called six times. She sounded a little tense. Well,
24:35if she calls again, just tell her to... Phil, what the hell is that? Phil?
24:49Get somebody in there fast. Put me down. Put me down. Not until you stop growling. Can't
24:54you see that I stopped growling? Look at me, Chesley, here, I'm limp. Phil, what's happening?
25:01That pig in there is laughing at us, and he's laughing at who he raped,
25:07because he is 17. He's 17, he's walking. Look, we don't know that for sure. Mick,
25:16did anyone get bitten? Oh, no, Sarge, I didn't lay a tooth on the kid. Why doesn't anybody give
25:22me credit for that? Phil, are you there? What the hell? I'm going out there, and I
25:32am going to get the other guy. Anybody wants me, I'll be in the park. Phil, are you there?
25:42What do you say, my friend, I'd like to use the phone before she starts by herself? Damn.
25:47About time.
25:54I wish you'd talk to her, Joyce. I mean, she's really on the verge of mutilating something
25:59very beautiful between us. Oh, Doug Browning, meet Frank Furlow. Oh, hi, Frank, really nice
26:04to meet you. Likewise. Hill or Bloomgarten, Resnick and Smith, right? Beg your pardon?
26:09Oh, you're with their firm, aren't you? No. Spiegel, Glass and Ludwig? I'm afraid not. Joyce.
26:15Look, I'm really running late. I've got to get back to court. Judge Nadler. Okay, well,
26:19you're going to see Shelly before I do, so give her this for me. We can tell her what's the best.
26:23Joyce, I really don't think you ought to take that. It's just a little nose candy, Frank.
26:29Look, Joyce, we have got to get together. Frank, what can I say?
26:35How could you? What? What did I do? Embarrass me. I prevented you from committing a felony,
26:47is what I did. What is the matter with you? The matter is your automatic conception that
26:52everybody is a bloody felon. What makes you so sure that I'd have taken that vial of alleged
26:55drugs anyway? I didn't want to take a chance. Then you should have looked the other way. I
26:59could have arrested that man. I should have. We really live in two different worlds, Frank.
27:04Not so different, Counselor. Need I remind you we're both officers of the court? We may both be
27:10officers of the court, Captain, but at least I am capable of distinguishing between my personal
27:14life and my work life. Safe, lady. The criminal court's billing, please. All right.
27:21So after waiting around for six hours, the assistant DA comes out, looking like he just
27:25stepped in something squishy, and he tells me they copped the suspect down to misdemeanor joyride,
27:29and I mean, we caught the guy with two caddies and a Buick in the back of a trailer rig.
27:33Now, does that suck lemons, Bates, or what? It's the system, man. Hey, nothing's wrong with the
27:39system. They're handed down longer suspended sentences all the time. I mean, the two animals
27:44that jumped this kid will probably be back in a park, Joy Boy and somebody else in a couple of
27:48days. Hey, motor mouth, where's your sensitivity in your fists? Are we taking you to the hospital,
27:53Bates, or what? I wouldn't ride with you two to a dog fight. No doubt about it. She wants me.
28:03What do you think? Let's do it, bro.
28:30All right. All righty. What do you guys think you're doing?
28:34Hey, just cool it with the set, amigo.
28:41You speak English, man? Is this stuff yours? Yeah. It is, huh? The television set, too?
28:48That's right. What about the truck?
28:53You want to check out his license and registration?
28:56We're not doing nothing, man. Oh, yeah? Can you prove that television set is yours?
29:05How in the hell do you expect me to prove that? Well, what do you think it's doing out here on
29:09the street? We're moving. Out of this place? Got no license, no registration. You got a driver's
29:18license? You expect me to read this, man? This your address here? It's my old place. I didn't
29:29have time to change the address. So what we got here is you're moving a bunch of stuff you can't
29:34prove is yours from a place that may or may not be your legal residence in a vehicle that he can't
29:39prove is yours. Hey, partner, maybe I just let this go. You can't do that, man. They're in
29:51violation. It's minor stuff, man. These guys are okay. We leave now, we look like chicken. Hey,
29:55I can live with that, man. Hey, man, we're just trying to get out of this, so why don't you look
30:18for yourself? What the hell are you hassling us for? Why don't you hassle somebody else?
30:24Vern, buddy, the other family's in there. Come on. They don't do nothing. Okay.
30:39Listen, we're not going to cite you this time for the unregistered vehicle or for the mutilated
30:43license, but I want you to get this stuff out of here. It constitutes a hazardous situation.
30:54Hey, you know my grandmother used to have one of these?
30:57Just like it. We're going to be back here in one hour, so get this crap out of here.
31:14This is no set up, man. Jamel Wardington's going to be here, so it's hard to raise up the gypsy
31:24boys. I can't tell you over the phone, but it's very important. They're all coming in fourth.
31:30Yeah, we'll send a car. Just tell them four o'clock Hill Street. Yes, I'll hold. Phil,
31:35where do we stand? Oh, it's coming together, Francis. Also, you got a hundred calls here,
31:40plus... I'll have to wait. Did you get Jesus Martinez? Yeah, I left a message at his answering
31:46service. Answering service? This kid's got an answering service? Which is more than I can say
31:52for you, Frank. Hello, Faye. You've been ducking my calls. I have not been ducking your calls.
31:59You haven't had a free moment since I rolled out of bed this morning. How have you been?
32:04Pressed. I got a six hundred dollar past due bill for Frank Jr.'s tuition,
32:09and all I've got in the bank is fifty three dollars. I need more money, Frank. Who doesn't?
32:15I am trying to make a good home for your son, but between what I make and your lousy alimony,
32:21it just doesn't stretch. Frank? Buenos dias, Ray. Nice to see you, Mrs. Ferreira. We have a
32:29situation at the booking desk that cannot wait. You are gonna have to deal with this situation
32:34first, because I'm not moving. Handle it, Ray. Whatever it is. Okay.
32:47Damn it, Faye. Every time you blow in here, you embarrass the hell out of me.
32:50You think I'm not embarrassed? Or maybe you think I like having a container of yogurt every day for
32:55lunch because I can't afford to go out like a normal person. Faye, you know how much I make.
33:00You know how much of it you get. There's not a lot left over. Frank, I am not negotiating.
33:06I am crying out of desperation. It never occurred to you to take Frank Jr. out of private school?
33:13You could buy a Mercedes for what that costs. And do you want to be the one to tell him he's
33:18got to go back to public school? Sure. Don't you dare. For the first time since our divorce,
33:23Frank Jr. is better. Not entirely out of the woods, according to Harvey, but getting there.
33:31Harvey. Harvey is a pill. What's wrong, Frank? Jealous? Beating my heart out. I know you don't
33:41like to think that I could have a rewarding relationship with another man, Frank. But I can.
33:46And I do. Rewarding, I might add, in every sense of the word. Well, if it's so damned rewarding,
33:56why don't you just rinse out your pantyhose and marry the guy? Let him carry part of the freight,
34:01okay? You stink, Frank. And you're going to hear from my attorney.
34:18Mr. Gorgian. How are you? Mr. Bessler, Mr. Ajitakis, Mr. Loud. Good.
34:25Mr. Lapidus. I'm Henry Goldblum. Excuse me, Mr. Lapidus, may I?
34:30We're checking our weapons at the desk. We all agreed to that. Thank you very much. I really
34:34appreciate that. Thank you. All right. Okay. Okay. Not everyone's here, but we've been waiting long
34:53enough. I know you're wondering what's going on, whether this is a peace conference or what.
34:59Morning, Father. What, huh? Looking at? Sit down. How you doing, Frankie? What a party you got here,
35:15Frankie. Got blood here, dragons, gypsy boys over there, shamrocks over there.
35:23We are broken. We can't die with so many microbes. Louie. Remind me to call my personal physician.
35:33Glad you could make it, Jesus. We have a table reserved for you.
35:37Thank you, Frankie. You didn't have to do that.
35:43Okay, Frankie, you can talk now. Thank you, Jesus.
35:57Okay. What would you say if I told you the President of the United States
36:05intends making a fact-finding tour of this precinct?
36:13What did he say? He says the President can't cross gypsy boy turf without a passport.
36:33Hey, what'd you say? What I'm hearing? This is the President of the United States.
36:44Hey, everybody, just calm down. Let's hear what the people have to say.
36:48Shut up! Shut up! Not now. Everyone.
36:55All I'm asking is your cooperation for the two short hours of the President's visit.
37:00Two hours, man. If you can't give me two hours of coolness, the President's going to think you've
37:07got no control over your people. And he won't deal with anybody who's got no control.
37:14Why should he? Where's the percentage in it?
37:18What's my percentage, Perrillo? The President don't mean diddly squat up here, man.
37:25I'd like to address that remark, Captain. No percentages. The only deal
37:31is a fair shake from this precinct. For two years, we played straight pool with you.
37:37No dirty busts, no railroading, no backroom games. Nobody wants to go back to the way it was.
37:46Mr. Perrillo, sir, could I ask you a question? Go ahead.
37:55Now, suppose Mr. Perez decides he wants to go from, let's say, blood turf to shamrock turf.
38:03How's he going to do that? Well, okay.
38:07The Perez is planning a walking tour, son, so he'll probably walk.
38:15I guess this guy's probably a comedian, too. We got no treaty with that.
38:18That's right. For real?
38:20No way he's going to get from there turfed to our turf.
38:25All right. I'll catch you later. No problem. As soon as this meeting breaks up,
38:30you, Detective Goldbloom, and the Warlord of the Bloods can get together and start hashing out
38:35something temporary. Use the interrogation. He left you cooties stuck on the shed.
38:49Listen, what's the sugar for us, huh? Sugar?
38:53Yeah. I mean, if the president is coming, I mean, there's going to be TV,
38:58and everybody knows there's a lot of gold in television, man. Dinero, huh?
39:04Okay, okay, listen, guys. I'm not going to lie to you. There's going to be TV cameras all over
39:10the place. After all, it's a media event. But it's a news event. Nobody gets paid for being on the
39:16news. Al Pacino don't work for nothing, man. Get him. He thinks he's Al Pacino.
39:28The only thing you ever autographed was a confession.
39:34At least that can write. Yeah, which makes me unique in this room.
39:43All right. Any beefs between now and then, you run them through the station here.
39:50That's it. That's all. Be cool.
39:53Be cool. Captain, if I could say just a few words here. It's cool, Parker. Leave him be.
39:59Easy, Captain. Guys, I just wanted to express on behalf of the president his appreciation.
40:07Now, he wouldn't be coming up here if he didn't care. If he wasn't on your side.
40:17Thanks, you guys, and stay cool.
40:23I can't believe this guy.
40:28You had to get into it, didn't you? I warned people. They may be a lot of things,
40:33but they're not stupid, and they don't forget.
40:41You're really learning the business well, Frankie. Hey, Mr. G-Man,
40:46about those jobs and social programs. Diablo don't need that garbage.
40:53What we do need is a picture of the dude with his arms around my mother's shoulder.
41:00She's got cancer really bad.
41:05Before you run off with the mouth, Parker, if his mother gets a picture with the president,
41:10they're all going to want pictures, and if they don't have mothers,
41:13they'll be girlfriends and cousins. I'm sorry, man, and I'm sorry about your mother. I didn't know.
41:22As for you, Mr. G-Man, if you send out any social program checks,
41:28you send them to me. On Diablo's turf, I'm the government.
41:34All right, stay cool, Frankie.
41:59You guys want to talk?
42:00Francis, can I have a word with you upstairs? What's going on in there, brother?
42:05Take it from me, you don't want to know. Phil, show Mr. Parker out, will you?
42:12Mr. Parker, you know where the stairs are.
42:30What's going on?
42:46What's this, Nate?
42:53A baseball bat, Captain. Oh, you in a league or something?
43:01Gentlemen, I've been a cop 17 years, and I've been to a few softball games myself.
43:08So what say? Let's not kid a kidder.
43:19Who called practice? I did, Captain. We both did.
43:25You both look like you already lost. What happened?
43:29We got jumped. Jumped? Just like that? In broad daylight?
43:34No, we were in a building, sir. We were investigating possible burglary in progress.
43:38And? And when it turned out to be a false alarm,
43:42when we tried to leave, that's when they jumped us. They got our guns.
43:48Well, listen up, athletes, softball practice is cancelled.
43:55You're going to let them get away with it? What if one of those guns kills a cop?
43:58Harris, there are enough guns out there to kill every one of us a dozen times over.
44:03I don't give a rat's bladder about your guns. What I do care about, and what scares the hell
44:08out of me, is the kind of morality I'm seeing here.
44:11There's another aspect to this. Pride. Professional pride.
44:15That's why the men wanted to handle this, uh, informally, so to speak.
44:19Well, if this is how you show your pride, then turn in your blues and get the hell out of my precinct.
44:24What we're supposed to be here is the one thing people can trust.
44:29If you go out there like a bunch of night riders, what the hell are you but just another vicious street gang?
44:35Um, let's secede to the captain's wishes on this one, huh? Shall we?
44:43Yeah, I'll get back. Thought maybe I could see you tonight.
44:49Not tonight, Frank. I've got a ton of homework. I'm in a hurry.
44:54I'm going to have to call a little bit earlier than usual.
44:58All right, see you later, Frank.
45:01You don't have to call me that, Frank. I'm not going to say anything.
45:04I'm not going to say anything. You don't have to call me that, Frank.
45:08Not tonight, Frank. I've got a ton of homework.
45:12I'm in appeals court in the morning at 8 a.m.
45:15I'm sorry about today.
45:18So am I.
45:21No. No, I'm not.
45:24Look, uh...
45:28Frank, the longer I see you...
45:32It's gotten more complicated than I think either of us expected or wants.
45:38I know what I want.
45:41I think we both do.
45:44You always make it sound so easy, don't you, pizza man?
45:47I'll come by. We fight better in the flesh.
45:54Let me see you for breakfast.
45:57Is 6 a.m. too early?
46:00Do I call you or nudge you?
46:02You call.
46:05This is an all-nighter, Frank, really.
46:08It's funny. I had the same thing in mind.
46:13I really care for you, counselor.
46:16Me too, Captain.
46:19Good night.
46:22Good night.
46:30Good night.
46:44Francis.
46:46Yeah, Phil.
46:49I might have caused us a little grief with division.
46:54What kind of grief?
46:57I threw that decorated woman out.
47:00She was out to commit a felony.
47:03It's okay.
47:06Take care of it.
47:08Good night.
47:10Good night, Phil.
47:13Milker.
47:21Move it!
47:25Yeah, what if it's a guy?
47:28All right.
47:31Would you like to sit down over there, hairball,
47:34or would you prefer internal bleeding?
47:37Captain.
47:39The other rapist from this morning.
47:42And this one's no minor.
47:45Do something else, Belker.
47:48I mean that.
47:51Thank you, Captain.
48:21Thank you.
48:51Thank you.
