'Merry Christmas!'

0:01:440:01:46

'What we've all been waiting for - Santa and his reindeer. Merry Christmas, Santa!'

0:01:460:01:51

'It's a present from a dear friend.'

0:01:510:01:54

SCREECHING

0:01:540:01:56

'Folks, there'll be no snow this Christmas.'

0:01:570:02:01

Would this be terrific? Huh?

0:02:010:02:03

Yeah. $600. Oh.

0:02:030:02:07

Hey, Mary Beth, look at this.

0:02:070:02:09

"Command attack submarine -

0:02:090:02:12

"shoots off missiles, lights up, has eight removable crewmen."

0:02:120:02:17

Do you think he'd like that?

0:02:170:02:20

He won't like it. Oh.

0:02:200:02:22

OK.

0:02:230:02:26

So Samuels will probably let us off when? Eight o'clock at the latest.

0:02:260:02:29

Dory coming over? Yeah, we're cooking dinner.

0:02:290:02:33

Mary Beth,

0:02:330:02:35

the man makes me crazy!

0:02:350:02:38

Harv and I are going to wrap presents for the kids, then trim the tree, get the turkey ready.

0:02:380:02:45

Call that fun? Yes, I do. Oh, there it is.

0:02:450:02:48

It's perfect. Oh, look at that - it's great!

0:02:520:02:56

Electric rescue chopper.

0:02:560:02:58

You think it's him? It's him.

0:02:580:03:01

All right.

0:03:020:03:04

Hey, Mary Beth, look at that guy over there - tweed top coat.

0:03:080:03:12

Oh, excuse me.

0:03:120:03:14

Don't look. I can't help it! Don't - he'll do something, then we'll have to arrest him, and... Don't look!

0:03:140:03:21

Excuse me. Ah, I told you we shouldn't have looked.

0:03:210:03:26

You gotta be crazy! $80 for Handel's Messiah!

0:03:270:03:32

It's a very special date...

0:03:320:03:34

if the lieutenant ever gets back to let us go. He'll get back.

0:03:340:03:39

Come 9 o'clock, Isbecki and the twins head southward to old San Juan

0:03:390:03:44

for a week of sun, sand and... who knows what?

0:03:440:03:48

You take Lieutenant Samuels' goodwill for granted. He doesn't have to let us go early.

0:03:480:03:54

Lighten up, Petrie - your baby's going to be born soon. I got $30 on a Christmas baby.

0:03:540:04:01

How many days is Claudia over?

0:04:010:04:03

Today makes 11. That's too long.

0:04:050:04:08

Must be tough, waiting like this.

0:04:110:04:14

Thanks, Petrie. Hey, any news about your kid? Not yet.

0:04:140:04:19

What's that? He made a collar! Guy was posing like he worked for a charity. He clipped Samuels good!

0:04:240:04:31

He threw away a Christmas! A lieutenant can pull strings.

0:04:310:04:36

Petrie! Your baby on its way yet? Not yet.

0:04:360:04:41

It'll come soon. Trust me.

0:04:410:04:43

What do you think of my collar? Not everyone collars Santa.

0:04:430:04:48

Hey, felony, larceny - worst kind of lice! Praying on people's goodwill.

0:04:480:04:53

I took care of the paperwork. You want to put this clown in a cell?

0:04:530:04:58

I gotta talk to the brass. Do a little bragging!

0:04:580:05:02

How much you clip him for? $5.

0:05:020:05:05

You know, my first kid was nine days late. Second one was a week early.

0:05:090:05:14

These things happen, you know.

0:05:140:05:17

That's what the doctor keeps saying. Yeah, well. Hi, how you doing?

0:05:170:05:22

I guess you live and learn.

0:05:240:05:27

My oldest is a girl.

0:05:280:05:30

Hope you get a girl, too - they're terrific! Would be nice. Yeah.

0:05:300:05:35

So, eh, you think it will snow?

0:05:360:05:39

That'd be nice, too, but they say no. Ah. Yeah.

0:05:400:05:44

Merry Christmas. Yeah, you too.

0:05:440:05:47

He's a nice guy, huh?

0:05:520:05:54

Have a good one.

0:06:080:06:11

SIREN BLARES

0:06:200:06:23

What am I going to tell my kids, Willie? Watch your head.

0:06:230:06:28

I'll be spending Christmas without my kids! Can I help it if I've got "seasonal employment"?

0:06:280:06:35

Tonight could be a big grosser for me. Good hunting, huh?

0:06:350:06:39

How much do you want him? I don't!

0:06:390:06:42

Hey, Banks. Need help with this guy?

0:06:420:06:45

We'd rather not spend tomorrow in court. Be a man - take one step closer to becoming a detective.

0:06:450:06:53

Take this collar for us. He's a simple pickpocket. No offence.

0:06:530:06:57

How much? What? I can't believe it - like a piece of bad meat, I can't be given away. You hold your tongue.

0:06:570:07:04

How much? Piece of your next murder. Something with headline potential. You got it. Deal.

0:07:040:07:11

Let's go.

0:07:110:07:13

Victor, is the lieutenant here? No, he's upstairs with the brass.

0:07:150:07:20

Petrie, any word about the baby? Guess not. Message for Miss Cagney. Thanks. Did the wallet show up yet?

0:07:200:07:27

What wallet? Guess not.

0:07:270:07:30

Remember? Bait from Internal Affairs.

0:07:300:07:32

How long's he going to be up there? Another few minutes. Harv...?

0:07:320:07:37

Sticking us with a loaded wallet to see if we'll take the money! You'd think they'd try something new -

0:07:370:07:44

they've been using it every Christmas for 16 years! The same wallet!

0:07:440:07:50

Been there long? I've only been here a moment.

0:07:500:07:53

Thought I'd get a start on the duck. I can't wait. I'm looking at eight at the latest.

0:07:530:08:00

That's none too soon - I'm very hungry. Mmm!

0:08:000:08:04

Um, there's a bottle in the fridge.

0:08:060:08:09

Have a glass. Have two.

0:08:090:08:11

I'll be there. Mark, there's a call coming through from your wife.

0:08:110:08:16

Wants to know when you'll be home.

0:08:160:08:19

Got a release form for your prisoner, um, public drunkenness.

0:08:190:08:24

Sarge wants me to give him coffee. OK. Cage. Keys are on the hook.

0:08:240:08:30

Sign this, huh?

0:08:300:08:33

OK, Bert, but now I'm telling you, if this guy isn't eight feet tall, I'm gonna call you a liar.

0:08:350:08:42

How often does a desk jockey get to prove himself in the trenches? Not often enough.

0:08:420:08:49

My chest still hurts from where this guy hit me - I got a huge bruise.

0:08:490:08:54

Happy holidays! Isbecki. Thank you. Cagney. Inspector.

0:08:560:09:00

La Guardia. Yeah. And Macy. Lacey, sir. Yeah.

0:09:000:09:05

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Where's Santa?

0:09:050:09:08

The accidental release of a prisoner is inexcusable.

0:09:080:09:13

This sort of error demands a disciplinary hearing. What if that guy kills someone?

0:09:130:09:19

The department is responsible.

0:09:200:09:23

Financially and morally.

0:09:240:09:27

I don't care if it was an accident and I don't care if no one individual is at fault. Bert, YOU're in command.

0:09:270:09:34

YOU have the final responsibility. Believe me, you WILL answer for it.

0:09:340:09:40

Merry Christmas(!)

0:09:440:09:46

I wanted to be a nice guy.

0:09:510:09:53

I wanted to let everybody go early.

0:09:550:09:57

Maybe I'm just too lax.

0:09:580:10:01

You will find this maniac! Hopefully, before he commits other crimes!

0:10:030:10:09

You will find him...

0:10:100:10:12

or nobody's gonna leave here...EVER!

0:10:120:10:16

Sir, we can't tell you how truly sorry we are. That's great, Lacey. I can use that defence in a trial!

0:10:210:10:29

Get out of here!

0:10:310:10:33

Come in!

0:10:580:11:00

What do you two want? Sir, we got back that file on the ex-prisoner

0:11:030:11:08

and things are not as bad as they seem. Who are you kidding?

0:11:080:11:13

No, sir - not kidding. Here, look at the file.

0:11:130:11:17

Right there.

0:11:170:11:19

Ralph Barbinski?

0:11:190:11:22

He told me his name was Rawley Henshaw. Prints kicked back the right file here, sir.

0:11:220:11:28

Look, priors - gambling, possession of stolen merchandise, petty fraud.

0:11:280:11:33

It's very plain we're dealing with a small-time operator.

0:11:330:11:38

Sir, the man's last arrest was six years ago. He had two months at the work farm, two years on parole.

0:11:380:11:45

Look at that record, sir - as clean as a plate. Until tonight. Yes, sir.

0:11:450:11:50

We just want you to know we'll be breaking our necks to nail this guy.

0:11:500:11:56

Isbecki's pushing back his flight and La Guardia's cancelling his date. Arrears traffic violations!

0:11:560:12:02

We're not talking about public enemy number one!

0:12:020:12:07

PHONE RINGS Samuels.

0:12:070:12:10

Yeah.

0:12:100:12:13

What?

0:12:130:12:15

Right, yeah.

0:12:150:12:18

I'm certainly very glad that you two are going to be breaking your necks.

0:12:180:12:23

Start by breaking your neck over to Barbinski's last address. Why?

0:12:230:12:29

Don't you ever ask me why! They found a radio car missing from the parking bay, that's why!

0:12:290:12:36

One of the mechanics said that the guy who drove the car away was dressed like Santa Claus! Ralph?

0:12:360:12:43

Couldn't be Ralph.

0:12:430:12:45

ENGINE CUTS OUT, HE TRIES TO RESTART IT

0:12:490:12:53

HORNS BLARE

0:12:530:12:57

Still no answer - I must've missed her. Damn! Maybe she's powdering her nose. Call her back in ten minutes.

0:13:030:13:10

We're supposed to take a cab to Carnegie Hall in ten minutes!

0:13:100:13:15

Isbecki, La Guardia!

0:13:150:13:18

Tow truck garage over on 36th? I know it.

0:13:180:13:22

A guy dressed like Santa Claus brought an RMP in there for emergency service, then charged it to me.

0:13:220:13:29

La Guardia.

0:13:290:13:30

Doris. Thank you very much.

0:13:330:13:36

I've been trying to reach you for over an hour. I've got to work. We're gonna miss Handel's Messiah.

0:13:360:13:43

Here, you take the tickets - you go.

0:13:430:13:46

There's more to Christmas Eve together than that. You go, do your job - I'll be here when you return.

0:13:460:13:53

You can't stay here - it's awful, it's smelly!

0:13:530:13:57

The lovely lady could stay in my office, La Guardia, where it doesn't smell so bad.

0:13:570:14:03

Bert Samuels, ma'am - lieutenant. Doris Rainey.

0:14:030:14:07

You see, Paul. I'll be fine. Well...

0:14:070:14:10

She'll be fine, and you guys can hit the bricks!

0:14:100:14:13

Miss Rainey, was it? That's right. Please come this way - I've got some wonderful eggnog in my office.

0:14:130:14:20

Forget it - you got a job to do!

0:14:220:14:24

CHILD CRIES The Barbinskis moved out three months ago. Do you know where?

0:14:330:14:39

Check the super. It's freezing. It's even colder inside - we've been without heat for eight days.

0:14:390:14:47

We called the housing authority, even the police, but no-one does anything.

0:14:470:14:52

The super won't talk to the service man? What can I do? Does he live here? Yes. Plenty.

0:14:520:14:58

Come on, we'll wish him a merry Christmas. You want to look after the kid? Um... Um... OK.

0:14:580:15:05

CRYING CONTINUES Show me those apartments.

0:15:050:15:09

Have a good time. All right.

0:15:090:15:12

Hey! CRYING STOPS

0:15:120:15:15

SHE HUMS "Merrily We Roll Along"

0:15:150:15:19

WHISTLE BLOWS Hold it there, buddy! OK, folks, move it along!

0:15:230:15:28

How you doing? Pretty cold night to be pulling traffic duty.

0:15:440:15:49

Who are you? Yabanowski. 14 Precinct.

0:15:490:15:53

HORNS BLARE Let me dig out some ID for you.

0:15:530:15:57

Just take a second. You know, every year, I gotta wear this stuff.

0:15:570:16:02

HORNS BLASTING What is it? Give me a break, please!

0:16:020:16:06

See I visit all the hospitals - children's wards. You got kids?

0:16:060:16:12

Two. No kidding - me too. I hit the hospitals every year.

0:16:120:16:17

It really makes me thank God my kids are healthy.

0:16:170:16:21

BEEPING CONTINUES Oh, jeez - it ain't in that pocket.

0:16:210:16:26

Maybe if I got out, it'd be easier. Forget it - the road's got to roll.

0:16:260:16:32

No, I know I got some ID here some place.

0:16:320:16:35

You want to see my kids? I'm sure they're terrific. Just keep rolling - I'm gonna get lynched.

0:16:350:16:42

You want me to come over to your house as Santa later? Give me a break. No problem.

0:16:420:16:48

I'll see you next year. Merry Christmas.

0:16:480:16:52

Merry Christmas(!)

0:16:540:16:56

Well, it's about time! All right, folks, move it along - let's go!

0:16:560:17:01

All right, 29th and...

0:17:010:17:04

That's the third phone call he's had since we've been here!

0:17:040:17:08

What do you say? Help us out - we'd like to get out of here.

0:17:080:17:13

What? If he's not done in 30 seconds, I'll pull him off! Got it.

0:17:130:17:18

Righto,

0:17:180:17:20

busted axle on 29th and 5th - bring a sling.

0:17:200:17:24

Uh, Christmas and New Year are my best times of the year. I clean up.

0:17:240:17:29

Finish telling us about Santa Claus. PHONE RINGS Right back. We're closed.

0:17:290:17:36

Hey, hey! Is he crazy? Lighten up. I've had it with this waiting around. Take it easy. I've had it!

0:17:360:17:43

Amazing what love will do to a man. It's my busiest time of the year.

0:17:430:17:48

Tell us about the Santa Claus and we'll go. Jeez!

0:17:480:17:52

Says he's trying to get to St Vincent and his car's stalling.

0:17:540:17:58

He says it'd take forever for a police mechanic to come.

0:17:580:18:02

It's Christmas. I'm a nice guy. Sure. That's all there was to it?

0:18:020:18:07

You want some more? Just because he... You know who I'm talking about!

0:18:070:18:12

Because he doesn't have a home to go to any more, he's trying to screw it up for the rest of us. Move it.

0:18:120:18:19

Is that it? Yeah. Well, if that's it, that's it. We'll be in touch.

0:18:190:18:25

PHONE RINGS Detectives. Petrie.

0:18:270:18:31

Hi, honey.

0:18:310:18:33

What happened?

0:18:330:18:36

LACEY HUMS A CHRISTMAS CAROL '106075 respond.

0:18:360:18:40

'Priority message for detectives car 12.' Did she say 12? Shh!

0:18:400:18:45

'All other units, clear air, except for calls 1013 and 1030.'

0:18:460:18:52

Central, this is detective car 12 responding. 'Go ahead, 14.'

0:18:520:18:57

Chris, Petrie here. I think there's a problem with Claudia. Oh, Lord!

0:18:570:19:01

What's wrong? 'If you take her to the hospital, I'll meet you there - it'll be faster.' Give me that.

0:19:010:19:08

Is this labour or are you trying to save on a cab? Something's wrong. Has she talked to her doctor?

0:19:080:19:15

Please just get her to the hospital - I don't know what's wrong! She's bleeding. We're on our way! Go!

0:19:150:19:22

SIREN BLARES Stuff like this scares the hell out of me! She'll be fine.

0:19:230:19:30

You're looking at a mother of two!

0:19:300:19:32

There she is. Can we have some help here? Here's the man! Here we go.

0:19:490:19:54

You look like a woman who's about to have a baby! Something isn't right, Mark - I'm still bleeding.

0:19:540:20:01

Everything's gonna be fine. Mary Beth's had two babies. She knows! I know.

0:20:010:20:07

Is Dr Polecic here? Yes, don't worry about a thing. WE are going to have this baby,

0:20:070:20:13

and we are going to be a family...

0:20:130:20:16

..everything is going to be OK!

0:20:170:20:20

Can't wait to see you skinny again!

0:20:210:20:23

I love you. Love you, too. Are you coming with me? What do you mean? Of course!

0:20:230:20:29

Petrie, let us know right away. I'll come down as soon as we know.

0:20:290:20:35

Hope it's a boy.

0:20:360:20:39

What do you think? I'm not a doctor, Chris.

0:20:390:20:42

There's no telling how long we'll have to wait, so I'm going to call the squad. OK.

0:20:450:20:52

If you talk to what's-his-name, tell him "hi" for me.

0:20:520:20:56

Got a dime?

0:20:560:20:58

I'm lonely. Dory, I'm trying.

0:21:040:21:06

Dinner's just going to be a little late. I want to taste your plum pudding. It tastes great.

0:21:060:21:13

'Why don't I start...?' Without me?

0:21:130:21:16

Well, just the prelims...

0:21:160:21:19

I'll glaze the duck - that way, we can just slide it in the oven when you come through the door.

0:21:200:21:27

I wanted us to cook together. 'You gotta work.' No, YOU'll end up doing the work! Are you gonna wait for me?

0:21:270:21:34

I always do, don't I? Yeah. Yeah, you do.

0:21:340:21:39

Mmm!

0:21:410:21:43

This wine is terrific! Are you getting drunk?

0:21:430:21:48

Hey!

0:21:480:21:49

Oh... I'll call you later. Bye.

0:21:490:21:52

Not much to say - they stopped the bleeding and put her on a foetal monitor.

0:21:560:22:02

Wait and see, huh? Yeah.

0:22:020:22:05

They're talking a Caesarean section - can you believe that? They do those all the time. I was Caesarean.

0:22:050:22:12

Claudia and I took natural childbirth classes for ten weeks. It's crazy!

0:22:120:22:18

Look, I've got to get back. Hey!

0:22:200:22:23

Everything will be fine. You know that.

0:22:250:22:29

Thanks.

0:22:290:22:31

You OK? Christine, you mind if we made a stop before we go in the squad room? No.

0:22:370:22:44

KNOCK AT DOOR Hey! Yo! Harvey! Mama, it's mama!

0:22:470:22:51

OK, babe.

0:22:510:22:53

Come on! All right, all right!

0:22:530:22:56

Hi. Hi. We can stay one minute, OK? How you doing? Merry Christmas.

0:22:560:23:01

Mom! Come here, come here!

0:23:010:23:04

Isn't that great? Great! Yeah. We got you something good! I'll bet! I thought you were home for good.

0:23:040:23:11

No, I... Give us a second, guys. Excuse me, guys.

0:23:110:23:16

Well, guys - hi, how's it going?

0:23:170:23:19

Great! Huh? Yeah. Ooh, pretty lights. Yeah, look what else we have here.

0:23:190:23:24

HE KISSES HER Feel better? Yup.

0:23:240:23:30

Yeah, I just, um, I got scared, that's all - with Claudia and all that bleeding, um...

0:23:300:23:36

Now they're considering a C section and it made me want to come home and hug my babies.

0:23:360:23:43

I'm glad you did.

0:23:430:23:45

Gonna be OK? Mmm-hmm.

0:23:450:23:48

Just hang on to me, huh?

0:23:480:23:51

What? What?

0:23:540:23:57

Oh!

0:23:570:23:59

What? Hmm? What are you looking at me like that for?

0:24:010:24:07

You wanna have another?

0:24:070:24:09

Yeah.

0:24:100:24:12

I gotta go back now.

0:24:200:24:23

What? OK.

0:24:290:24:31

What happened to the guys? They vanished into the other room. Maybe they heard Santa. Yeah. Hey!

0:24:330:24:40

Hello. Here they are. Here they are! Hi. Hi. Merry Christmas!

0:24:400:24:45

Oh, thank you.

0:24:470:24:50

Oh, isn't that nice? LAUGHTER

0:24:500:24:53

Thank you. Can I open it right now? You gotta open it right now! Yeah!

0:24:530:24:59

Thanks. Harvey says you're pretty.

0:24:590:25:01

Hey! No hitting on Christmas Eve!

0:25:030:25:06

OK. I love presents!

0:25:080:25:11

Faster, faster! OK.

0:25:110:25:14

My favourite colour!

0:25:140:25:16

What luck, huh? Look, a hat! Huh?

0:25:160:25:19

Mittens!

0:25:190:25:21

Oh, and a muffler!

0:25:210:25:24

Thanks, you guys!

0:25:240:25:27

You're so good to me. OK, enough kissing now - we gotta go! OK!

0:25:270:25:32

Your mother is so mean to me!

0:25:320:25:34

Thank you. When it gets to be ten o'clock, go ahead and trim the tree and surprise me. I promise.

0:25:360:25:43

Is my present as good as hers? Merry Christmas, everyone. Goodbye, guys. Thank you. Goodbye. Goodbye.

0:25:450:25:52

You talk to Petrie, give him my best. I will. OK.

0:25:530:25:57

Bye, guys. Goodbye. Bye.

0:25:580:26:00

Let's finish wrapping the presents. OK.

0:26:040:26:08

Hey, you guys.

0:26:180:26:20

What's the matter, Dad?

0:26:200:26:23

Come here.

0:26:250:26:27

You won't find a cheaper price or a better tree. It's too much.

0:26:340:26:39

You want blood? I'm practically giving you the tree! Let's go.

0:26:390:26:44

Merry Christmas, creep! A reasonable price would do.

0:26:440:26:48

Myer! Come here, come here!

0:26:480:26:51

It's me - Ralph. Hey, Ralphie, what you hiding for?

0:26:560:27:01

I'm making sure your mother ain't around!

0:27:010:27:05

Um, Myer, I need a favour.

0:27:050:27:08

What's that? It's $142 and 55 cents.

0:27:080:27:12

I've been cracking parking meters. I don't know - all these coins. Come on, I'm in the straits here.

0:27:120:27:19

What do you say I give you a break?

0:27:190:27:21

Two for three? How much is that? 85 bucks.

0:27:210:27:26

Oh, Jeez! Um...

0:27:270:27:30

OK!

0:27:300:27:32

Ralphie, I'm giving you a good deal, I'm telling you. Where am I going to move coins on Christmas Eve? I know.

0:27:320:27:39

You're the greatest, you know. So how's it been going? You moving any trees? Oh, not bad, not bad.

0:27:390:27:46

Thanks a lot. I won't forget this. Take it easy.

0:27:460:27:50

You want trees? I got trees - take advantage of me!

0:27:500:27:55

Merry Christmas, Myer. See you around.

0:27:560:28:00

That was Santa Claus! Hey, Ralphie. Is that a cop?

0:28:000:28:04

Hey, look, it's, um, Christmas Eve - why don't I just give you a tree... for cost?

0:28:040:28:11

I'll be right back.

0:28:110:28:13

Phil. Hello, Bert. This is Miss Rainey. This is Lt Malik.

0:28:130:28:19

He's the Bureau Internal Affairs liaison officer. Impressive title.

0:28:190:28:24

I didn't realise the police had so many handsome men. Thank you. Would you excuse us for one moment? Sure.

0:28:240:28:31

Police business.

0:28:310:28:33

I was real damn disappointed to hear about that prisoner foul-up, Bert. We'll get him. Yeah, I hope so.

0:28:350:28:42

The same thing happened to a captain in Queens about a year ago and...

0:28:420:28:47

Well, my boys - we caught the case eventually, but that captain's commanding a vacant lot squad now.

0:28:470:28:55

Thanks for telling me, Phil. Yeah.

0:28:560:28:58

I'm sorry, would you excuse us? Police business. Nice to meet you.

0:29:000:29:05

It's time for me to go and say hello to the uniforms. I hope we meet again. Me, too. Goodbye. Goodbye.

0:29:110:29:18

Thank you, Bert. I'll be back.

0:29:180:29:21

PHONE RINGS

0:29:210:29:24

Merry Christmas!

0:29:240:29:26

Detectives. La Guardia.

0:29:260:29:29

What did you say your name was?

0:29:370:29:40

Kline.

0:29:400:29:42

OK.

0:29:430:29:44

The wallet - it's here! Yes, sir.

0:29:440:29:47

That creep from IAD shows up and so does the wallet! OK, we'll send someone over.

0:29:470:29:54

The wallet's over there!

0:29:540:29:56

A guy who owns a Christmas tree stand just phoned in about Santa driving a radio car. My twins await!

0:29:560:30:03

Hold it! Call Cagney and Lacey - they're already out there.

0:30:030:30:08

I'll see if Doris needs anything.

0:30:080:30:11

How do you know it's Barbinski? I used to see him around the pool hall.

0:30:150:30:20

He's a little, you know... Couple of quarts low? Right.

0:30:200:30:24

Hey, hey, hey, beat it!

0:30:240:30:27

You said something about coins.

0:30:270:30:29

What coins? Could you just tell us where we could find Ralph?

0:30:290:30:35

Beats me! I just don't want to get arrested!

0:30:350:30:39

No-one's going to arrest you, sir. Can you help us locate Mr Barbinski?

0:30:390:30:44

I don't know where he lives. I used to know his number, but he's disconnected. Where does he work?

0:30:440:30:51

He used to be a mechanic, but... Oh, he's working now as a Santa Claus - that's why he's wearing the suit.

0:30:510:30:59

For a department store? No, one of them places that rents out Santas to parties.

0:30:590:31:05

Thank you.

0:31:060:31:08

We all want to help, but it doesn't take all of us to find someone cracking parking meters.

0:31:130:31:19

Isbecki's right. Even he could do this single-handedly. I got a flight to catch - my twins await!

0:31:190:31:26

I don't want to hear about twins. That's disgusting!

0:31:260:31:30

What's the proposal? I say we draw straws.

0:31:300:31:34

The loser follows up on Barbinski. The rest of us can lead a normal life. Huh?

0:31:340:31:40

We just have to convince Samuels.

0:31:400:31:43

I'll risk it.

0:31:440:31:47

The batteries are already in and you just hold it here and press there.

0:31:560:32:01

How about that, huh?

0:32:070:32:09

Oh! CRASH!

0:32:200:32:24

You OK? Yeah.

0:32:260:32:28

You got nothing better to do? Find Barbinski!

0:32:340:32:39

Can you believe this? Is that the wallet?

0:32:550:33:00

How much money is in it? About $200. SHE WHISTLES

0:33:000:33:04

That creep in Samuels' office brought it. Malik.

0:33:040:33:09

Know what I'm going to do? Haven't a clue. Hand this in to Samuels, right under that jerk's nose.

0:33:090:33:16

Hey! You're all man, Isbecki!

0:33:160:33:19

Hold it down a second! Go ahead.

0:33:190:33:21

What did they say was wrong? Placenta previa. There's no way for the baby to get out normally.

0:33:250:33:33

Don't worry. Harv's sister had all three of her children Caesarean.

0:33:330:33:38

I can be in the room with her - that'll help.

0:33:380:33:41

Marcus, don't worry, huh? Yeah.

0:33:410:33:44

I wanted to deliver that baby with my own hands.

0:33:440:33:48

Mary Beth, I just want Claudia and the baby to be all right.

0:33:510:33:56

Listen, do you want someone to come down there and be with you? No, I'm with Claudia - that's enough.

0:33:560:34:04

You tell her for me, stay strong and we're all thinking about you here,

0:34:040:34:10

and, um, let us know right away. OK. Right away.

0:34:100:34:14

Bad?

0:34:150:34:17

I like that man a lot.

0:34:190:34:21

This is the guy we're looking for. He's employed as a Santa Claus. Yeah. You know him? Ralph Barbinski.

0:34:210:34:28

You ain't telling me Ralph's in trouble? We can't talk about that.

0:34:280:34:33

I love Ralph. He's one of my favourite employees.

0:34:330:34:38

Max, you wanna break the bums up?

0:34:400:34:42

No way, Jose!

0:34:440:34:46

Hey! Hey, Max! Leave me alone!

0:34:460:34:49

Christmas is a filthy business!

0:34:500:34:53

He's good with kids - helluva nice guy. Max?

0:34:530:34:57

No, Ralphie. It's just... I don't know, he's, um...

0:34:570:35:02

He's not retarded, I don't think. We get the picture. Do you have his address?

0:35:020:35:08

You sure you want this guy? We're sure. I'll call Cagney and Lacey and tell them to meet us there.

0:35:080:35:15

Mark? Yes.

0:35:160:35:19

You love me, don't you? You know I love you, Claudia.

0:35:190:35:23

I love you more than anything. I'm sorry I messed things up.

0:35:230:35:28

That's crazy! It was supposed to be so nice!

0:35:280:35:32

God, I hope the baby's all right!

0:35:320:35:35

You and the baby are going to be fine. You're going to be strong and healthy and alive, hear me? Uh-huh.

0:35:350:35:42

I'm so glad you're with me, baby! You're going to be fine.

0:35:430:35:48

Wait your turn!

0:35:540:35:56

Thank you. Here we are - hot tea and honey.

0:35:580:36:02

Thank you. Thank you.

0:36:020:36:04

The children should play next door. So they can break something? Hush!

0:36:040:36:09

We have nothing to hide in this family - not a thing. Do you children love your daddy?

0:36:090:36:16

He's a no-good... Hush! Old fool!

0:36:160:36:19

It'd be better if we got back to what you were talking about before.

0:36:190:36:24

Papa never did like Ralph. No kidding! Thinks he's no account, but that's not true.

0:36:240:36:30

- Ha! I'm supporting the lot of 'em! - He couldn't help losing his job.

0:36:300:36:36

An engine block fell on him - hurt his back. We didn't have insurance and the job didn't pay benefits.

0:36:360:36:43

- Ralph can't lift things any more. - He can lift a fork! Let her finish.

0:36:430:36:48

Do you know where he might be now? Are you going to arrest our daddy?

0:36:480:36:54

He was working as a Santa Claus.

0:36:550:36:58

His friend offered him a share of a miniature golf course in Florida if we could get there.

0:36:580:37:04

He took a Santa job for ticket money.

0:37:040:37:07

He has been making money, but not as a Santa. This is a helluva thing!

0:37:070:37:12

Trixie! Seven years and she finally sees it! You have any i...?

0:37:120:37:17

Santa Claus!

0:37:170:37:19

That's not Santa Claus, stupid - that's Daddy!

0:37:190:37:23

Hello, Ralph. Police, Ralph.

0:37:250:37:27

FREEZE!

0:37:270:37:29

- Ralph! Don't you hurt him! - I'll call for backup.

0:37:290:37:33

We just want to talk to you! Go back into your room!

0:37:340:37:39

ALL SHOUTING AT ONCE

0:37:390:37:42

They're chasing Santa Claus! DADDY! DADDY!

0:37:450:37:49

GIRL: You'll never catch Santa Claus!

0:37:490:37:51

COMMOTION CONTINUES

0:37:550:37:58

Look, it's starting to snow! Uh-huh. Hey, Ralph!

0:38:090:38:13

Ralph! Give us a break, huh?

0:38:160:38:18

He came up the fire escape.

0:38:180:38:20

It's bizarre - it isn't even cold!

0:38:200:38:23

They're gonna shoot Santa Claus! Nobody is going to shoot anybody.

0:38:230:38:29

Would you put that thing away? We're the police!

0:38:290:38:32

It's all right. We're after an escaped felon. My daddy!

0:38:320:38:37

Santa Claus! Ho, ho, ho!

0:38:370:38:40

That's not Santa Claus - that's Daddy. OK, Santa, come down before you hurt yourself.

0:38:420:38:48

I can't.

0:38:480:38:51

I can't. Oh...

0:38:510:38:55

I did wrong. I got nothing to say for myself and I'm ready to pay the price - even if it is Christmas.

0:38:550:39:02

You should've thought of that before. I'm ready to pay the price,

0:39:020:39:07

even if I do have a wife and kids waiting. Can you believe this guy?

0:39:070:39:12

Maybe we can work something out here, Bert. Bert?! Lieutenant.

0:39:120:39:17

It's not unusual, in special cases, to issue a desk appearance ticket,

0:39:170:39:22

if you think the accused will appear in court. You'd appear? You bet!

0:39:220:39:27

Wait a minute! We're not talking misdemeanours here -

0:39:270:39:32

felonies, larceny, escaping arrest, stealing a police vehicle.

0:39:320:39:37

I didn't steal that police car - I just used it.

0:39:370:39:41

Hear this? The guy's crazy. Probably can't even take care of himself.

0:39:410:39:46

I brought it back. It's out there now. Come on!

0:39:460:39:51

He's right - he showed us the car.

0:39:510:39:53

Come on! You ought to see what this guy's putting up with at home.

0:39:530:39:59

Seven years you were straight and you had to throw it away for miniature golf in Florida!

0:40:000:40:06

Well, a man's got to work - a man can't sponge of his in-laws.

0:40:060:40:11

If I was a smart attorney, I'd point out that you didn't know he wasn't going to give that money to charity.

0:40:110:40:18

You're not that smart. Sir. The same attorney... Don't press your luck!

0:40:190:40:24

Give him a DAT and let him go. Sir. What about my ticket money? What?

0:40:280:40:33

Trying to get that money was the whole reason I went back into crime.

0:40:330:40:38

I told you - this guy's crazy. Ralph, you got that money breaking into parking meters -

0:40:380:40:45

we can't give it back.

0:40:450:40:47

There goes our dream, Ralphie.

0:40:470:40:50

They're both crazy! I bet they need constant supervision. Lieutenant...

0:40:500:40:55

What? What happened to the wallet?

0:40:560:40:59

I shoved it off on that creep Malik, so he could bring it back to all those rats in Internal Affairs. Why?

0:40:590:41:06

Merry Christmas - great job.

0:41:070:41:10

Merry Christmas, boys! ALL: Merry Christmas!

0:41:100:41:14

Sorry. It's OK. Lieutenant Malik?

0:41:160:41:19

Yes, yes. We don't know each other, but I'm Detective Cagney. Nice to meet you. Hello.

0:41:190:41:25

I didn't want you to get away before I wished you merry Christmas. Well.

0:41:250:41:30

What was that for? I just wanted to give you something. You and all the guys at Internal Affairs. Thank you.

0:41:310:41:39

Merry Christmas to you, too. Detective Cagney? Cagney. Nice to meet you. Thank you. Pleasure.

0:41:390:41:46

Bye. Bye.

0:41:460:41:48

Excuse me.

0:41:480:41:50

You sure it wasn't HIS wallet? First bump, I got the wallet. Second bump, I put it back, except for the money.

0:41:560:42:03

You're off the hook - we'll square it for you. Merry Christmas, Willie.

0:42:030:42:08

Merry Christmas. Stay out of trouble! I gave you my word, didn't I? Yeah. Merry Christmas, Willie.

0:42:080:42:15

Merry Christmas.

0:42:170:42:19

Ticket money.

0:42:260:42:29

Oh, no, we can't take charity. Ralph.

0:42:290:42:33

You want to go on living with Mom and Papa?

0:42:350:42:39

I'll pay you back as soon as I can. Whenever. Just take your family, take the money - go to Florida!

0:42:390:42:46

And come back for the court appearance. Merry Christmas!

0:42:460:42:50

You won't have to do time. There's enough people rooting for you. Merry Christmas. Mmm-hmm.

0:42:500:42:56

Yeah, well, thanks a lot,

0:42:580:43:01

and...

0:43:010:43:03

I hope you get something nice for Christmas - all of you.

0:43:030:43:08

Merry Christmas!

0:43:080:43:10

Ho, ho, ho!

0:43:130:43:15

It is 10.05. Dory shouldn't be too drunk...at least for dinner -

0:43:240:43:30

that is, if we're free to go! What? You're free!

0:43:300:43:34

Thank the good Lord. We missed Handel's Messiah.

0:43:340:43:38

The night is young, Doris, and we have each other.

0:43:380:43:43

11.20 flight. I could pick up the twins at... Will you stop? You know how I feel about that.

0:43:480:43:54

Victor, I need to talk with you!

0:43:540:43:57

My mother! I'll just stay here out of the way until you're finished, and then we'll go to the airport.

0:44:030:44:10

Your mother?!

0:44:110:44:14

Oh, Victor!

0:44:140:44:15

Oh!

0:44:150:44:18

Victor! Oh, Victor!

0:44:180:44:21

Hi, Ma.

0:44:290:44:31

Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas - stay warm. Merry Christmas.

0:44:370:44:42

Hey, I know everybody wants to go home, but I've got half a jug of eggnog. It's pretty good.

0:44:420:44:50

Well, sir, I think we have some cups over here.

0:44:550:44:59
