Is that whats behind this . Woman ready, gentlemen . Ah, give us just a minute, would you, please . Woman okaka fine. From the day i received my captaincy, i have never once slept through the night. I understand. You dont. By understanding the other mans point of view. And when it came time for me to lead, i saw too many sides of every questioio and then i didnt have the courage to quit. When my prison was taken from me, instead of leaving as i should have i, took this scrap, this joke of a job. I dont think thats what the job has to be, but if thats the way you feel about it, maybe you should resign. You dont understand how s to keep any job, to f fr the unknown, but youre right, i should. Help me be brave. Hey, youre going to wear out, j. D. I hate polygraphs. You know, you aint the one taking it. How do you think hes doing, neal . Ill only be guessing, man. Im telling you, even if hes guilty, this max emilys the kind of nervous little twitch s a tough read. On 16 different capipil acts, he demonstrates guilt or guilty knowledge. So were in business. But his reaction to ththtest question was so idiosyncratic that the baselines bizarre. Well, youre not dealing with a flake here, guys. Well, where do we stand, mr. Bernstein . He either did it or hes a cantbetested. Your man is definitely a possible, on schneider, wintrope, carter. Thanks for all the help. Where we going, j. D. . We are dropping a dime to certain journalists in my acquaintance. Ththguy didnt exactly give us the full speed ahead, you know. Ut the polygraph guy, neal. Theyre dealing with a total bingbong, and they want him to test like the man in the street. I think we better wait for forensics and the family witnesses. Captain said take it by the numbers. Hey, the numbers im thinking about all got dollar signs in front of them, neal. Yeah, Jerry Wilmont please. You should have seen this guy out there. This guy was great. Well done, stanislaus. Oh, i just got lucky out there. After all, its not like its the first perp i ever saw. Are you kidding. I could barely keep up with this guy. Whats the matter, son . Messiness. You know, armchair quarterbacking. To get used to being on the sidelines, isnt it . Message for me . Forensics wants you to call them, detective. Say, sarge. Neal, stan just made a collar. No kidding. Yeah, i just got lucky. Once a cop, right . Jimmy, j. D. Larue. Its a business call. Career call maybe for both of us. Out an exclusive on a possible mass murderer, jimbo. Yeah, me and neal washington popped him a few hours ago. What . Yes, i did call Jerry Wilmont before i called you. But Jerry Wilmont couldnt buy my groundrules for the slant of the piece. So now instead of having his hands wrapped around maybe the hottest mass murder story since that creep in florida, Jerry Wilmonts got his hands wrapped around the morning courrier express. J. D. In a minute, huh. Hang up. Just a second, jim. Yeah, what about it . Well, forensics says weve got problems. Ah, ill get back totoou, jimmy. Something came up on another case. What problems . They say this pipiure of max emily with the schneider kid, they say it might be a composite. What composite, wheres the join . They say it might be a picture of a picture, j. D. Well, thats crap. Uhuhuh. Easy, that the schneider boys father. Mr. Schneider. I was told therereight be information about my son, about his killer. Well, we have a possible suspect, sir. Might recognize him. Oh, yeah, fine. Well set up a lineup. Of course, even if you didnt recognize him, that wouldnt necessarily mean anything. I know, the ideas been the killer probably wasnt known by our family. Thats right, i mean, this guy could still be a canandate. Ludicrous. Unfathomable. Hope and pray, sal. Thats all we can do now is just hope and pray. I mean, nothings happened so far we cant fix. Lieutenant, maybe ththhitters split. Lose his 20 gs. Whos going to fix things for my sister, doria, huh . Forget your sister. Is that old man there worth ruining your life over . Bubuz thats russo with her boyfriend dominick. Mr. Donatelli shouldve asked me to bid the work. Buntz mr. Donatellis expression is called the oops look. Like, oops, did i overplay my hand . O. She plays it out, huh. Got to give her credit for her stones. You know, it might do her some good to hear some of that, lieutenant. Hes coming out. I want your men on either side of the door. But keep t tm off. Tony, put the gun down i dont know, i dont know what to do. Got a clear shot, lieutenant. Give him to us. Come on, give memehe rifle. Hes going to jail i promise you.

Thats right, thats what the doctor said at the emergency room. It is a mistake e understimate the possibile severity of alergic reactions, robert. Extreme cases can be fatal. Sarge, the only extreme thing about this case is howowuch somebodys been gold bricking all day. Thats right, this mans a ratioal man. Ones life can change with a dark shadow coming over him. Oh, i take it, andrew, that you are referring tohe curse that was inadvertently administered by the gypsie. Yes, i am. A socalled gypsie, socalled curse. How would you know about it, youre a rational man. Youre some kind of rational man careful, renko [ laughing ] bulb burnt out. I didnt want you walking underneath the ladder. You could get 20 years bad luck. Oh, howard, do we have henrys racketeering warrants so i can cosign them . Not as yet. All right, ill be at division for the rest of the day th captain calletano.

Are you okay . I just received a notification report from the police physician. Says he saw your foving been beaten. Im okay. Im is that as far as it went . For the where and when . Did i break furillos law . Tina, the doctor speculates you may also have been sexually assaulted. But you refused examination or treatment. Im okay. If donatelli raped you, i want to charge him with it when we bring him in. Plus you should also get some counseling. Just promise me i get to be in on donatellis arrest. You know youre doing the Toughest Police work there is. But at least you get the respect of your fellow cops. You teach yourselflf to get used to it. But i bought max emily i trusted the man. Oh, look at here. Four years in glenwood psychiatric. That 86s him out of all but two of the murders. I got some more bad news for you, too. Forensic found the original of that photo with max and the schneider kid. It was in one of the boxes of stuff they found in the room. Glued. Glued . Thanks, pepe. You want the rest of this . Why be a glutton for punishment . Eant jablonski i misplaced, um. We made an arrest and i used this room for intake on the perp. And i somehow misplaced case notes from an original arrest that was totally unrelated to this matter, anani was testifying to that in court this morning, prior to this other incident. So. Are they here . No, theyre not. Um. Howd you get that shiner . A jerk on my undercover. Yeah, when do you pop him . Tomorrow. I dont know if this will work for you. But i try to think about that, about when im going to bust him. I just wish the other cops around here wouldnt treat me like typhoid mary. Ah, hey, dont, dont do that. Im sorry. Dont apologize. You dont have to apologize. Were you going home . Would you like to have a beer . Want to go out and have a beer . Hey, this guy makes me sick. I agree, detective, i loathe myself. Shut up, shut up i killed them all all right, all right, come on. A jim girardi calling you, detective, from the post gazette. Tell him i died. I thought it finally was going to be over. I thought id finally know how we lost tommy. Look at this, frank can you believe this . Man says hes leaving. Ief daniels. Did you know about this, frank . Ray said at lunch he decided to resign. Bolt from the blue. Chief, both of us know i have not been happy, not doing a very good job. A transitional adjustment, ray. Youre too hard on yourself. Ave been. I have been angry and disappointed. It is better for m to quit look, its your call. If its what you want, i certainly wont prevent it. Hell of a guy, eh, frank . Nice take dodo on uncle john. Sometimes at night, i have dreamt of killing that man. Do you get caught . What is it with you . Guys like uncle john wind my watch. Patrick. Makes the day go quicker. Mrs. Murphy. What . What you said to me before. Im laughing but im not amused. So now what are you trying to say to me, that im so much older than you are . No, no i was just remembering, thats all. I liked mrs. Murphy. Hey, mr. Goldfarb. Name is bibiao. Oh, right, bilbao. Uhhuh, uhhuh. Where is the afflicted party . Right over this way. Renko. You got a lot of nerve. Im here to assist you, officer. Hes going to take it off of you, renko, not that anything was ever on you. Yeah, yeah, gogo go on. Okay. Okay, what am i supposed to do . Okay. Okay, what are you going to do . You aint going to believe it, neal. Im in the john, trying to decide not to rip off my a a and beat myself to death with it. I find that telephone number i lost, the chick i went out with last night. See that, lover, every cloud has a silver lining. No, neal, i callll the number. No good . Disconnected. Maybe she had a social disease. Something we should get to about the death of steven mercker, lieutenant, about your involvement with steve. Is that a dilemma for you . What dilemma . That he was a friend of yours, a good friend, a close friend. Thats right. You must disapprove of this vigilante. Wawawait a second. I dont see steve that way. Go aheadd steve had a dream. To see our streets free of terror. To w wte. He wrote in obscurity. He got a lot of slaps in the face and rejections, but it didnt stop him. And that was why steven was heroic. Because despite all that discouragagent, he stayed true to his dream. And have you read this brave mans pages . Worthy of the hero who wrote them, then. Yes. I have a feeling Steven Merker had a very good friend in you, lieutenant. Lieutenant goldblume is reluctant to bring this up, but the man sitting here, himself, played the role of hero at the blantant street hostage situation today, involving the famous, or perhaps i should say notorious, uncle john petruzzi. A lot of us feel a lot safer and perhaps a little bit prouder knowing our city has Law Enforcement officece of the caliber of the gentleman im sitting next to. [ applause ] dons guest tomorrow night are Health Experts dick and laine coppernaul. How was henry . Good. Don chesler thinks the cici is safer with cops like him on the force. Job for you, furillo. How are the benefits . Its a spot needs kneading. Ahh, mmm, brother. All those years of making dough. [ laughing ] actually he wasnt. Who wasnt what . Henry wasnt good. I mean, he was fine, but i just kept thinking how lonely and uptight he seemed. You know what henry needs . Yep. Lets get into that benefit package. Nice spot, lieutenant. Thank you. His stuff stinks, huh . What do you mean . Your friends writing. I could see you get those scared deers eyes when i asked if it was any good. Night, dot. Night, don. Oh, boy. No, i mean it. You were right there. So many guest get all tied up in the buzz. Whereas i dont really know what that means. So dont take a compliment. I still dont know how you got me to do this.
