0:01:24 > 0:01:29Integrated amplifier with five-band equaliser, 100 watts per channel.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33- Doesn't that sound fantastic? - It sounds expensive.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36It's on sale - 850 - 14th Street.
0:01:36 > 0:01:41- 850 for a stereo is expensive. - It's state of the art, Mary Beth.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- Sign me in, will you?- Yeah.
0:01:44 > 0:01:49There must be 600 people downtown who do nothing but write memos.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53One thing about the police department, they stay in touch.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58Retirement plan, credit union, uniform inspection.
0:01:58 > 0:02:04Listen to this - stress reduction encounter group. Do you love that?
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- That's this week.- What's the stress reduction encounter group?
0:02:09 > 0:02:13It say right here - "It helps you deal with job-related stress."
0:02:13 > 0:02:18Oh, well, thank you too much(!) I'd rather go skiing.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Do you have the paperwork on the Mendoza collar?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- They can't do this!- Do what? - It's mandatory.
0:02:27 > 0:02:33Oh, I saw that. Apparently, it's a pilot programme they're developing citywide - all departments.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Well, I don't need someone telling me how to solve my problems.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Well, there have been studies done to indicate that sharing your feelings
0:02:41 > 0:02:45is a very effective way of dealing with stress.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49If I'm stressed out, I jog. Three miles, I'm spaghetti.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- Cagney! Lacey!- Talking about your feelings can't hurt you, Christine.
0:02:53 > 0:03:00- Morning, sir.- Lieutenant, have you heard about this stress reduction group?- Yeah. What about it?
0:03:00 > 0:03:06- We don't have to attend that, do we?- Yes, it's mandatory. It's a good idea, too, I think.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- You do?- Oh, absolutely, Cagney.
0:03:08 > 0:03:15They started a couple of years ago on a voluntary basis. I attended a few and found them very helpful.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Ah, there it is. Here, this is from downtown.
0:03:19 > 0:03:25It seems we've got a problem here. Apparently, you two have piled up an inordinate amount of overtime.
0:03:25 > 0:03:31- Oh, yeah. Are they impressed? - They're worried. It's fouling up the accounting system.
0:03:31 > 0:03:36What exactly are we supposed to do about this, sir? Take today off and a couple of three-day weekends.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Lieutenant, we have a very heavy caseload.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44You're screwing up the computers, so get out of here - both of you.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49- You mean, go home, sir?- I don't care. Just sign out and disappear.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- Yes, sir.- Couldn't we work and not put in for it? We're already here.
0:03:53 > 0:03:59Cagney, what is wrong with a day off? Go to the park, the movies, New Jersey - I don't care,
0:03:59 > 0:04:06- just as long as you're not here today. The department cannot afford to have you here.- Yes. Thank you.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12I don't understand this department sometimes.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15I could think of worse things than a day off, Christine.
0:04:15 > 0:04:20Compulsory days off, compulsory group therapy.
0:04:20 > 0:04:27- So what are you going to do? - Um, I don't know. Um... think I'll clean out the closets.
0:04:27 > 0:04:33- I've been promising to do that for months.- Why don't you come with me to the stereo sale?- No, thanks.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37Mary Beth, these sound systems can be very sexy.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Maybe spice up your marriage.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44My marriage doesn't need spicing up, thank you.
0:04:44 > 0:04:50Think of it, Mary Beth. Harvey comes home...
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Johnny Mathis is on the stereo...
0:04:54 > 0:04:59OOZING out 100 watts per channel...
0:04:59 > 0:05:02you slip into something...casual...
0:05:02 > 0:05:08and Johnny's voice melts down the last of Harvey's inhibitions.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15You've been reading trashy books again, Christine.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19It always worked for me.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23No, no, take a look over here. Let me show you something.
0:05:23 > 0:05:30- The frequency response on this little number is so awesome it'll curl your toes.- Is that so?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- Yes, and I'll give you a good price. - Like £850?
0:05:33 > 0:05:38Babe, you look like an intelligent woman. Let me level with you.
0:05:38 > 0:05:45(You wouldn't have wanted the stereo in that ad. It's a piece of junk.) ..I'm telling you. Trust me.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50- How much is this one?- Well, I don't have the exact numbers...- Hey, you look like an intelligent man,
0:05:50 > 0:05:56- take a guess.- You'll want the ten-band equaliser, a cassette deck, at least 100 watts per channel.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00You're maybe looking at 2,400 to 2,500 tops, out the door.
0:06:00 > 0:06:08- You're asking people in here for an 850 ad and selling them something for 2,500.- Babe, I told you,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11we're sold out of that one. LOUD SCREAM
0:06:11 > 0:06:15Hey, sweetheart, where are you going? It's a good...
0:06:17 > 0:06:19- LOUD SHOUTS - Police officer! Let me through!
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Police officer! Hold it!
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Oh, my God!
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Somebody dial 911 for an ambulance. ..Sorry.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Hold it!
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Police! Out of my way!
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Police coming through! Hold it!
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Look out! Police!
0:06:42 > 0:06:46I said hold it right there. Drop that knife.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51I said drop it.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Slide it over to me slowly.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Further.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Slowly.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28- I hope this encounter group doesn't get touchy-feely.- They do it in the nude in California.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Fortunately, this is New York.
0:07:30 > 0:07:35- I do 100 push-ups every morning. - You're a wonderful person(!)
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Hey, little guy, are you lost? DOG WHIMPERS
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Let's check you for ID.
0:07:40 > 0:07:46- What's a dog doing here?- It just wandered in.- Who does he belong to? - I don't know.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- He doesn't seem to have a collar. - Call the pound - have him picked up.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55The pound?! You know what they'll do to him. Let me find him a home.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59I'd take him, but my building doesn't allow pets.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03DOG WHIMPERS
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Just make sure he's gone by the end of today.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. DOG BARKS
0:08:18 > 0:08:21HE WHISTLES
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Thank you. I can take it from here.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- Cool it.- Need a hand, Cagney? - No, thank you, Victor.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Right over here. Just move it, pal.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35All right...have a seat.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- HE WHISTLES - I said sit down!
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Do your family know what you do for a living?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58HE WHISTLES
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Name?
0:09:09 > 0:09:12HE WHISTLES
0:09:13 > 0:09:17- I asked you your name. - HE WHISTLES
0:09:17 > 0:09:20I thought you said I had the right to remain silent?
0:09:20 > 0:09:25I'm not asking for a biography, I just want your name and address.
0:09:25 > 0:09:32How would you like to spend the rest of your life missing some major parts of your anatomy?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39What did you say?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42HE WHISTLES
0:09:47 > 0:09:53- You threatening me?- Oh, why I wouldn't do that to a police officer. That's illegal, isn't it?
0:10:03 > 0:10:08D'you want to give me your name now or I'll throw you in the tank and we can do this tomorrow? Well?
0:10:08 > 0:10:12HE WHISTLES
0:10:12 > 0:10:13Charlie.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21- Stokes.- Spell it.
0:10:21 > 0:10:22S...
0:10:22 > 0:10:25T...O...
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- ..K...E...- S.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34HE WHISTLES
0:10:36 > 0:10:41Stokes, Stokes, Stokes. Here it is. Darryl Stokes.
0:10:43 > 0:10:48- He was arraigned yesterday afternoon. Bail set at 5,000.- That's all?
0:10:48 > 0:10:52- For a sleaze like that? Come on! - You know how the game's played.
0:10:52 > 0:10:58I asked the court to set bail at half a million, the defence says, "Send him home, cos he's such a nice guy,"
0:10:58 > 0:11:03- and the judge comes up with something in between.- I wouldn't call 5,000 somewhere in between.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07- So the judge was in a hurry to play golf.- Or you're not good at the game!
0:11:07 > 0:11:13- Don't come in here...- Feldberg, I need you to go into court and ask for higher bail.
0:11:13 > 0:11:165,000 is pretty standard for a case like this.
0:11:16 > 0:11:21Did you look at his yellow sheet? Armed robbery, attempted rape!
0:11:21 > 0:11:27- Yeah, no convictions - cases dropped before trial.- Yeah, right. I talked to the investigating officers.
0:11:27 > 0:11:33They think Stokes has been intimidating witnesses. Hell, he threatened me in the precinct.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38All right, all right. How am I supposed to know that?
0:11:40 > 0:11:46It makes me wonder, though - if you are so concerned about this case, how come you weren't at the arraignment?
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Judge Komiski's chambers, please. I need to talk to his clerk.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53So where were you?
0:11:53 > 0:11:55My lieutenant sent me home.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58I've been pulling too much overtime.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Huh, you're kidding!
0:12:00 > 0:12:05Hello, Elliot. Todd Feldberg from the DA's office.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Listen, I need to petition for an increase in bail on a Darryl Stokes.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Yeah, I'll hold.
0:12:11 > 0:12:18So what are you doing? Bucking for sergeant or are you just a glutton for work?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21What was that? ..Oh, he's a lucky man.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Yeah, see you around, Elliot.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31Well, Cagney, this conversation can now be classified as academic.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- I beg your pardon? - Stokes posted an hour ago.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37He's out of our hands until his court date.
0:12:44 > 0:12:49You believe these statements?! News vendor says she didn't see anything.
0:12:49 > 0:12:55Street worker says he saw nothing. This one's great(!) "What stabbing? I was reading my horoscope."
0:12:55 > 0:13:01Got no witnesses. Mary Beth, if the victim had charged admission, he could have paid his hospital bill.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06We have seven witnesses we haven't even talked to. You can ID Stokes.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10- We've got a victim that can testify. We've got a case here.- Mm-hm.
0:13:10 > 0:13:16- I just hope the victim wants to press charges.- Not everybody in New York doesn't want to get involved.
0:13:16 > 0:13:23- No, just eight witnesses to a stabbing in daylight!- Cynical. You go funny over the damnedest cases.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29They tell me that you saved my life.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31- That's good.- How are you feeling?
0:13:31 > 0:13:39I'm OK, I guess. The doctor says that next week, I should be out enjoying the swinging single's life.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44- He didn't happen to say where you could find it, did he?- Well... - Mr Gelband, tell us what happened.
0:13:44 > 0:13:50- There's not much to tell. This guy just pulled a knife and told me to give him my wallet.- Did you?
0:13:50 > 0:13:54- Hmm? Yeah, I didn't want any trouble. - And then what?
0:13:54 > 0:14:01Well, I only had 5 and the guy starts ranting and raving - the next thing I know...I'm stabbed.
0:14:01 > 0:14:08- Mr Gelband, we'll need you to testify.- All right. Whatever I can do to get this guy off the streets.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Well, sir, we certainly appreciate your attitude. You get some rest.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16- We'll talk to you later.- All right.
0:14:16 > 0:14:22If Darryl Stokes tries to contact you or intimidate you in any way, I'd like you to call me immediately.
0:14:23 > 0:14:29- What did I tell you? It's a dead-bang case. - OK, you're right. Stop gloating.
0:14:29 > 0:14:36We've broken down the squad into small groups who work closely together. You all know each other.
0:14:36 > 0:14:42What you can't say out there you are free to say in here. There's no rank in this room.
0:14:42 > 0:14:48What is important to know is that there's nothing wrong with talking about your problems...
0:14:48 > 0:14:54there's nothing wrong with having problems. It doesn't make you any less of a person or any less a cop.
0:14:56 > 0:15:03Now, for starters, why don't you tell me what a typical day in this precinct is like?
0:15:12 > 0:15:19Well, it looks like attending this group is going to be more stressful than your job.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Who would like to start?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Bert, why don't you begin?
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Well, my day is, um...
0:15:39 > 0:15:44Well, usually, um... Well, I usually start my day...
0:15:46 > 0:15:52I, I get a, a jelly doughnut, usually, from the little place across the street.
0:15:52 > 0:15:59- That's, um, first.- They have a good jelly doughnut there. Everything is very fresh - especially the custard.
0:15:59 > 0:16:05- The custard is good, too.- They have a good cherry tart. Oh, I'm sorry, it's not my turn to talk, right?
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Mary Beth, that's OK. The idea is to talk when you have something to say.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Well...
0:16:16 > 0:16:18..um...
0:16:18 > 0:16:20that's all I really had to say.
0:16:27 > 0:16:34- Anyone else have anything they'd like to talk about?- I've got something I want to get off my chest.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Yes, Victor?
0:16:37 > 0:16:41I think Barry Manilow is an underrated performer.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46I mean, maybe he's not hip or highbrow...
0:16:47 > 0:16:51..but he sings the songs the whole world sings.
0:16:51 > 0:16:56- I used to like Vic Damone. - Now there's a voice.
0:16:59 > 0:17:06- I don't understand why you are so gung-ho about this group encounter thing.- I wouldn't say I was gung-ho,
0:17:06 > 0:17:11I just think it's a good idea. It's not healthy to keep our feelings all bottled up.
0:17:11 > 0:17:16- I thought you shared your feelings with me.- I do, Harv.- Well, if you've got a problem, talk to me about it.
0:17:16 > 0:17:21Honey, there's nothing wrong with talking about what I'm going through
0:17:21 > 0:17:25- with people that are going through the same thing.- Yeah, I guess.
0:17:25 > 0:17:31- Just going to be talking about police work, right?- I don't know if it'll only be about that.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36- You going to be talking about me and the kids?- That could come up, yeah.
0:17:36 > 0:17:42- Oh, no, I don't want you talking about me in front of strangers. - They're the people I work with.
0:17:42 > 0:17:49There are certain things between a husband and a wife that should not be talked about with other people.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53- Like what?- What do you mean "Like what?"- Like what?
0:17:53 > 0:17:59- Like our sex life.- Why would I want to talk to anybody about our sex life?- But that's exactly my point!
0:17:59 > 0:18:02SHE GIGGLES Well, what's so funny?
0:18:02 > 0:18:07You think I should tell them about that Halloween party, remember?
0:18:07 > 0:18:11- You dressed up like a frog. Remember when we got home?- I was very tired.
0:18:11 > 0:18:17Oh, you were too tired to change out of your costume, but not too tired to hop on my side of the bed, right?
0:18:17 > 0:18:20SHE GIGGLES I don't think that's funny.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- Good night.- Oh, Harv...
0:18:28 > 0:18:30- Harv?- What?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Ribbit.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38Ribbit.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Ribbit.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Ribbit, ribbit.
0:18:45 > 0:18:52I just got a call from the hospital. The nurse went into Martin Gelband's room this morning and...
0:18:52 > 0:18:57- found him gone.- Did anyone see him leave?- No. Check his apartment. See what you can find.
0:19:00 > 0:19:05I don't think we'll see Martin Gelband while Stokes is loose.
0:19:05 > 0:19:10- Mary Beth, we don't have a witness. - We have one very good witness - you.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14- Marty came home about, um, 1am.- Are you sure of the time?- Oh, positive.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16I was watching Wait Until Dark.
0:19:16 > 0:19:22Richard Crenna and Jack Weston were trying to warn Audrey Hepburn about that maniac Alan Arkin.
0:19:22 > 0:19:29- That's when I heard the noise in the hall.- What noise?- I tried to wake my husband. He was asleep on the couch.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31I mean, it's like that every night.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35I don't care what the movie - a spy movie, a tearjerker -
0:19:35 > 0:19:3710 minutes into it, he's out cold.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- And about the noise, ma'am?- Well, I knew Marty was in the hospital,
0:19:41 > 0:19:46so I thought someone might be robbing his place. I looked in the peephole,
0:19:46 > 0:19:52but it was only Marty walking into his apartment. They sure let them out of the hospital soon, don't they?
0:19:52 > 0:19:59- Listen, Audrey Hepburn is blind in this picture...- I remember the picture.- Oh.- About the noise?
0:19:59 > 0:20:05It was just the slamming of the door. But by then, Audrey had already knifed Alan, so I figured I was safe.
0:20:05 > 0:20:10- I walked to the door, keeping one eye on the TV, of course.- Of course.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14When I opened the door, Alan lunged at Audrey.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18I let out such a scream that my husband fell off the couch!
0:20:18 > 0:20:25I guess I scared Marty to death, cos he picked up his suitcase and left. You should have seen Audrey's face.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- Was he alone, Mrs Asinow?- Who? BOTH: Mr Gelband.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29Oh.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34- He's scared. He is scared and he's running.- Think Stokes got to him?
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Who else? It's his MO, isn't it?
0:20:37 > 0:20:42Stokes calls Gelband up at the hospital and says if he doesn't keep his mouth shut, he'll cut him up -
0:20:42 > 0:20:47or words to that effect. Gelband runs. Stokes is a pretty scary guy.
0:20:47 > 0:20:54- What do you mean?- Well, he's 6'2", weighs about 200lb and he doesn't have a pleasant personality.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- Is there something you're not telling me here?- No.
0:20:58 > 0:21:05- He was mouthing off. He said some stuff to me.- Like what?- The usual garbage.- Did this man threaten you?
0:21:05 > 0:21:12- Mary Beth, you cannot take every threat seriously.- You cannot...!- I haven't got time for this argument.
0:21:12 > 0:21:17This man is suspected of harassing witnesses. You're going to be protected, like it or not.
0:21:17 > 0:21:23- Lieutenant...- No discussion. You take the squad car, drop her home. I'll have two men outside her loft.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Happy to, sir.

0:22:28 > 0:22:34No, I'm sorry, there's no-one here by that name. ..Yeah, well, next time, use the phone book!
0:22:43 > 0:22:45PHONE RINGS
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Did you dial right?!
0:22:48 > 0:22:50What?
0:22:50 > 0:22:51Oh, Mark, I'm sorry.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54No, I thought it was the wrong number.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Um, what?
0:22:56 > 0:23:01Oh, um, it's just been sort of a rough day. ..Yeah.
0:23:02 > 0:23:07When, tonight? ..Um...I'd love to, but... No, the place is a mess now,
0:23:07 > 0:23:12and, um, I'm in the middle of redecorating. Yeah.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17The truth is, Mark, I'm just... I'm not, um, up for company tonight.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Yeah, another time would be great.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22OK, yeah.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23OK. Bye.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30THUNDER
0:23:43 > 0:23:48No, ma'am. ..Well, when we hear from him, we'll certainly let you know.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52OK. ..Thank you, Mrs Gelband.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Don't let the...
0:24:04 > 0:24:10- dog in.- We've just got off the phone to Martin Gelband's parents. They've not heard from him since Christmas.
0:24:10 > 0:24:16- We're checking all transportation from the city.- Not necessary. I got a call from the medical examiner.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Gelband's body was found in an alley this morning.
0:24:19 > 0:24:25We've an APB out on Stokes. Homicide squad's handling the case. They'll let us know anything that they find.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29I suggest you concentrate on making your case against Stokes stick.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34If we can't tie this murder to Stokes, then all we've got to put him away with is your case.
0:24:34 > 0:24:40I assure you, the DA is going to want a lot more than your testimony. What we need is more witnesses.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45Uniforms have taken all the witness statements and nobody saw anything.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50- Go on back out there. Somebody might change their minds.- Yes, sir.
0:24:54 > 0:25:00- Lieutenant...shouldn't somebody notify Gelband's parents?- That's a good idea. You do that, Lacey.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Yes, sir.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08- Out. - DOG WHIMPERS

0:25:30 > 0:25:35Did you see the stabbing that happened here Tuesday, around 11.30?
0:25:38 > 0:25:42- I said did you happen to see the stabbing... - SHE COUGHS
0:25:42 > 0:25:47- ..that happened here Tuesday, around 11.30?- No.
0:25:49 > 0:25:50Oh.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Thank you.
0:25:52 > 0:25:57A man is stabbed less than 30 feet away, now surely you remember hearing or seeing something?
0:25:57 > 0:26:02Things like that happen all the time. I mind my own business.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06I guess if it was you being robbed, you'd be singing another tune, huh?
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- Do you want a paper?- No! ..Thank you.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19- What?- Nothing. It's like it never happened. ..How about you?
0:26:19 > 0:26:24It amazes me the effort people take to avoid getting involved.
0:26:24 > 0:26:30We wouldn't be going through this at all if they hadn't let him out on bail in the first place.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37One of the most stressful aspects of police work is the inability to turn the job off once you get home.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Let's talk about that tonight. Mark, do you want to start?
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Um...some nights I get home...
0:26:49 > 0:26:53and, um, I look at Lauren - that's my daughter -
0:26:53 > 0:26:58and I get angry that she's going to grow up in the world I just left.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03I almost want to quit and move to Colorado.
0:27:04 > 0:27:09I know what you mean. The first time I had pictures taken of my daughter,
0:27:09 > 0:27:13I called them mug shots. THEY LAUGH
0:27:13 > 0:27:18- Coleman, I didn't even know you had a daughter.- You never asked.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Her name's Betty.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28She's retarded.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30She goes to a special school.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- I'm s-sorry.- No need to be.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40She's a lot happier than a lot of kids I've seen.
0:27:43 > 0:27:49VICTOR: I love to party. I hardly get invited any more.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52People start smoking dope or something...
0:27:54 > 0:27:56..I gotta leave.
0:27:56 > 0:28:02- What am I going to do - bust my friends?- I gave up going to parties a long time ago.
0:28:02 > 0:28:07It's hard for me to be around people who aren't cops.
0:28:13 > 0:28:21When my daughter was little, she wanted me to wear my uniform all the time - watching TV, on my day off.
0:28:21 > 0:28:26When she was old enough to understand what a policeman does...
0:28:26 > 0:28:30she didn't want me to wear the uniform at all.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36MARK: Claudia tells everyone not to call when I'm working.
0:28:36 > 0:28:42- It scares her to hear the phone ring when I'm not there. It's crazy, isn't it?- Harv does the same thing.
0:28:42 > 0:28:47We have this understanding that, um, if I'm on stakeout, late at night,
0:28:47 > 0:28:52I never tell him when I'm coming home, you know, so he won't wait up all night - which he does, anyway.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Chris?
0:28:54 > 0:29:00You've said very little since we began these sessions. Maybe you'd like to add something to this.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02No, not really.
0:29:02 > 0:29:07- No-one's going to force you to say anything if you don't want to.- Fine.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14Her and I are working on a very frustrating case right now. It...
0:29:14 > 0:29:21Um, none of the witnesses want to get involved, um, and we think the suspect is, is watching Christine.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24It's no big deal.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27- That can be very frightening. - It's a drag.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31Every time I turn around, I've got somebody watching me - perp or cops.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35It's doing a number on my social life.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Are you sure that's all you feel?
0:29:38 > 0:29:43People who've experienced that often talk of feeling invaded...
0:29:43 > 0:29:45even raped.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Well, not me. So don't worry...
0:29:48 > 0:29:51because he's not going to touch me.
0:29:51 > 0:29:56Because if he comes within three feet of me, I'll kill him.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59I swear to you, I'll kill him.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Because nobody does that to me.
0:30:02 > 0:30:03Nobody.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56BANGING
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- Freeze!- It's me! Petrie!
0:33:16 > 0:33:19Was it Stokes?
0:33:19 > 0:33:23- Are you OK?- I'm fine. Was it Stokes? - Petrie...he's gone.
0:33:23 > 0:33:29- Well, how the hell did he get past you, anyway?!- I'm sorry.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33I'm sorry, too.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Come on, we'll walk you back down.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42Hey, look at this. It looks like he's been here a while.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Do you want coffee or not?
0:34:07 > 0:34:12Excuse me, Lieutenant, there's someone here to see you.
0:34:13 > 0:34:17- Pal! - DOG BARKS
0:34:17 > 0:34:22- So this dog belongs to you, huh? - Yep. Sit, Rock.
0:34:22 > 0:34:29- You know, you could have lost him for good.- He was outside the candy store when I went in to buy comics.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32When I came out, he was gone.
0:34:32 > 0:34:38If he was wearing dog tags, we could've called you. You make sure you get him a tag,
0:34:38 > 0:34:43because this dog is your responsibility. He can't take care of himself. That's why he needs you.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47Maybe next time, you won't be so lucky. Do you understand me?
0:34:47 > 0:34:52- He should be wearing a collar, too. Does he have a collar?- Uh-uh.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04- Here.- Thanks.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09I don't suppose he has a leash.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12..I didn't think so.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Here, take this one.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19Thanks.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23Matter of fact... why don't you take the whole bag?
0:35:23 > 0:35:30There's a rubber ball in there and some, um - yeah, fire hydrant - and some dog treats.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34- Thanks.- Don't mention it.
0:35:36 > 0:35:41You make sure you take good care of that dog. You got it?
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Got it.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48DOG BARKS
0:35:50 > 0:35:55Homicide's report on Gelband turned up empty. There's nothing that ties Stokes to his murder.
0:35:55 > 0:36:01- The guy knows how to play the game. - All we've got is your testimony. If that doesn't go down, Stokes walks.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05- Which is why last night's incident was stupid.- He was on my roof -
0:36:05 > 0:36:09- I had to do something.- That's why I put Petrie and Isbecki on you.
0:36:09 > 0:36:16- Well, I didn't feel like waiting to get carved up.- So you prefer making yourself visible(?) Easy target, eh?
0:36:16 > 0:36:19- Hey, I'm a cop. - In this case, you're a witness.
0:36:19 > 0:36:24Right now, Cagney, you're the only witness we've got. So remember that!
0:36:33 > 0:36:37- What was that all about?- It was nothing.- Don't tell me "Nothing"!
0:36:37 > 0:36:44- Stokes was on my roof last night and he got away, there's nothing more to tell.- And you didn't call me?
0:36:44 > 0:36:50- It was late.- That never stopped you before.- Mary Beth, I just don't want to make a big deal out of this.
0:36:50 > 0:36:55The crazy was on your roof and you don't want to make a big deal? Thanks a lot, Christine(!)
0:36:55 > 0:36:59- Isbecki and Petrie were there. They scared him away.- Ooh(!)
0:37:04 > 0:37:08So...how long are you going to keep up the strong and silent routine?
0:37:08 > 0:37:13- Don't start with me.- Don't tell me "Don't start", Christine!
0:37:14 > 0:37:21Mary Beth, I know what you want to say to me. How I seem closed, and I should open up more and talk, right?
0:37:21 > 0:37:26- Close.- Well, not everybody deals with their problems the way you do.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30I am not you. I do not need to talk about everything.
0:37:30 > 0:37:36What I need is to stop making this case any bigger than it has already become. I am fine. I am really OK.
0:37:36 > 0:37:42What I need is to find this guy and go back to leading a normal life. That's all.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44OK?
0:37:54 > 0:37:58Cagney, have you got plans for dinner tonight?
0:37:58 > 0:38:00..So you'll have dinner with Lacey.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13- Where did La Guardia get this one? - 1957 - in Greenpoint.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17- We are talking long shot here.- Mmm.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Oh, here they come.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22Oh, was that good chilli, or what?
0:38:22 > 0:38:28- I don't know, my taste buds are in shock.- I told you to get the mild one. You still liked it, though, eh?
0:38:28 > 0:38:34- I think it's the finest 2 chilli in New York. How did you find this place?- Harv found it.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38He can sniff out good food like nobody's business.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41- Hey!- Hey, you creep! Let go!
0:38:42 > 0:38:46- Petrie, get on him!- He's got my gun!
0:38:46 > 0:38:51- Christine, you all right? Let me see. Oh, gee!- I'm fine. I'm fine.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54- Here, just a second.- Damn it!
0:38:54 > 0:39:00- Here, here, take this.- Do you believe that?- Louse. You sure you're OK?- I'm OK. Let me wash it off.- OK.
0:39:00 > 0:39:05- Just take it easy. Get up... - I'm fine.- ..slowly. OK. ..OK.
0:39:05 > 0:39:09- Damn!- OK, come here. Are you sure you're gonna be OK?- I'm fine.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13- Right, take it slow. I'm going to call it in.- All right.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Hold it! Right there!
0:41:12 > 0:41:16Put the knife down, Stokes. Lay it down.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Drop it!
0:41:42 > 0:41:45You have the right to remain silent.
0:41:45 > 0:41:50If you give up the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be held against you in a court.
0:41:50 > 0:41:55You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, and so choose,
0:41:55 > 0:42:03an attorney will be appointed for you, without charge, before questioning. Do you understand?
0:42:11 > 0:42:16You should have been there! It was great! We set this guy up like you wouldn't believe!
0:42:16 > 0:42:22- Christine and I came out. This guy tried for her pocket book, and he winds up hitting her!- Really?- Yes!
0:42:22 > 0:42:28- That punch looked so good... - He really hit me hard! Where did you get this guy?
0:42:28 > 0:42:32From Vice - they make the best crooks.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35But she was wonderful. No, you were.
0:42:35 > 0:42:40She never batted an eye, she never gave it away. She was spectacular.
0:42:40 > 0:42:46I didn't do anything. Honest. It was La Guardia. He thought it out. Let's hear it for La Guardia!
0:42:49 > 0:42:56You should have seen the look on Stokes's face...when La Guardia came out of the stall!
0:42:56 > 0:43:00He couldn't believe his eyes! A nice guy like me in the ladies room?
0:43:00 > 0:43:04EVERYONE LAUGHS
0:43:11 > 0:43:16- Sorry. I didn't really want to do this.- That's OK.
0:43:16 > 0:43:21I don't know. I guess, I'm just sort of glad it's over.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23LAUGHTER
0:43:23 > 0:43:25Go on.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27Um...
0:43:29 > 0:43:36I just kept seeing this face in my mind, you know, and I...just waited.
0:43:36 > 0:43:41There was nothing else I could do except wait, and, um...
0:43:41 > 0:43:44and I felt, um...
0:43:44 > 0:43:46um...very helpless.
0:43:48 > 0:43:53It's like I lost all sense of... that I had no control.
0:43:53 > 0:43:56And he had taken that away from me.
0:43:58 > 0:44:03You know, he had no right to invade my life the way he did.
0:44:03 > 0:44:05Nobody...
0:44:05 > 0:44:07nobody has that right.
0:44:14 > 0:44:16It's my life.
0:44:18 > 0:44:22It was...it was my life.
0:44:28 > 0:44:31I hate...I hate, um...
0:44:31 > 0:44:38um, feeling scared. And there wasn't anything I could do about it.
0:44:38 > 0:44:43I just... I can't, I can't stop thinking about...about...
0:44:43 > 0:44:46about it and about him, and...
0:44:46 > 0:44:49I just hate him for that.
0:44:49 > 0:44:53I, I just...I just want to, um...
0:44:54 > 0:44:59..get the picture out of my mind. I need, I need to go on...
0:44:59 > 0:45:01with my life.
0:45:04 > 0:45:07Is that too much to ask?
