0:00:02 > 0:00:03'Previously...'
0:00:03 > 0:00:06He told me about the lump that he found in your breast.
0:00:06 > 0:00:10You want to talk about how WE'D feel in case maybe I have breast cancer?!
0:00:10 > 0:00:14OK. In case maybe I have breast cancer? You go first.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16I don't want it, Harv!
0:00:16 > 0:00:18I don't want tubes and machines.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22I don't want the boys remembering me sick like that.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24It doesn't matter how I feel about it!
0:00:24 > 0:00:26It matters how YOU feel!
0:00:26 > 0:00:27Harvey...
0:00:27 > 0:00:30I'm scared of dying.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33I... I don't want to mess up your life.
0:00:33 > 0:00:38Mess up my life? Mary-Beth, you ARE my life.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Lacey.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Morning. It's good you came in early. I'd like to talk to you in my office.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Sit down.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37You noticed anything going on with Cagney, lately?
0:02:37 > 0:02:41- I don't know what you mean, sir. - Well, is she worried about anything?
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- Has she something heavy on her mind? - No. Why?
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Well, I don't know anything about, uh, female problems -
0:02:49 > 0:02:51medical things like that...I...
0:02:53 > 0:02:58Well, I was looking for the Benedetto file on her desk this morning...
0:02:58 > 0:03:02and her drawer was open and I saw a bunch of these.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05You know, Lacey,
0:03:05 > 0:03:08I don't pry into the private lives of my officers,
0:03:08 > 0:03:13but if she's got cancer she shouldn't be reading about it, she should be doing something about it.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Do you know if she is?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18It's not Cagney, sir. It's me.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22She got those for me -
0:03:22 > 0:03:27persuaded me to see a doctor, which I did Friday. They say my n...
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Anything I can do?
0:03:30 > 0:03:35No, sir, thank you. I see a surgeon today - he says what comes next -
0:03:35 > 0:03:39if it's OK with you? It shouldn't take longer than my lunch hour, sir.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Sure, anything you want, you take it.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Um, actually, do you want to take some real time off?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48No, sir, I'd like to keep working as usual.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51- Lacey?- Yes, sir?
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Anything you want... you be sure and let me know.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Yes, sir.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34Hi.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40I'm scheduled for a mastectomy on the 26th. It's called a modified radical.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44They remove the breast and the lymph glands under the arm.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Oh, what the hell, Christine, uh?
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Maybe no-one will notice. I mean, well, they weren't much to speak of.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56I have to admit that this one is Harv and the boys' favourite.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00Hell, if I'd known this I'd never have quit smoking(!)
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- Oh, help me, Christine, these are jokes.- What about a second opinion?
0:05:04 > 0:05:09You said, "Take care of it." Everybody said, "Take care of it", so, the sooner the better.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11I took care of it.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14He's not the only doctor in New York.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20He's...he's a very expensive surgeon, Christine. He's highly recommended.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22He's got a wall full of diplomas.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26He says I get a mastectomy.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37GENERAL OFFICE NOISE AND CHATTER
0:05:46 > 0:05:52- Mrs Taggart, how's Kevin? - What gives you the right to go round messing with people's lives?
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- I came to tell you I don't appreciate it.- Mrs Taggart, please sit down.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00You don't know Kevin and me, and neither does that social worker!
0:06:00 > 0:06:04YOU went right ahead because YOU think you know what's best for us!
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Mrs Taggart, I don't know what you're talking about.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11They took Kevin away from me and put him in juvenile detention!
0:06:11 > 0:06:13And then they waved your report in my face
0:06:13 > 0:06:15and told me I was an unfit mother!
0:06:15 > 0:06:20Well, Mrs Taggart, sometimes the City has to investigate cases like yours.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25Cases like mine?! We are people, me and my son, and I am sick to death
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- of you treating me like dirt! - Mrs Taggart, there are things that we can do.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34You lost me my son.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36I think you did enough!
0:06:46 > 0:06:50Look, Mr Cartman is responsible for kids like Kevin Taggart.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55They found six dime bags of heroin on him when they undressed him at the hospital.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59- What did you expect us to do? - He's eight - maybe he didn't know what it was.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02I've seen overdoses not much older and so have you.
0:07:02 > 0:07:07- He was carrying heroin.- That doesn't prove neglect by the mother, ma'am.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Come on! You had the initial contact.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13"There was some evidence Mrs Taggart had hit the child
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- "as punishment for being out late." - Yeah.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- I think she smacked him. - But it could have been worse.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21I don't think it was.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24All right, even if we can't prove abuse,
0:07:24 > 0:07:28she leaves him alone an average of five hours a day, sometimes much more -
0:07:28 > 0:07:30as you mention in your report!
0:07:30 > 0:07:32She works. She can't afford daycare.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Do you wanna know the last time we heard that?
0:07:35 > 0:07:39A month ago from a woman who was also a possible child abuser.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41We didn't get the kid out.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44She strangled him with a lamp cord.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Studying late last night again?
0:07:54 > 0:07:58I've enrolled in on one of those three-night courses.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Sergeant School?!
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- You gotta be kidding!- Look,
0:08:06 > 0:08:12- as hard as it may be for you to believe, I really want to pass this exam.- So do I,
0:08:12 > 0:08:16- but you're psyching up for it all wrong.- Yeah?! Sure(!)
0:08:16 > 0:08:18D'you know what I did last night?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21I went over to Bon Bon's.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23She cooked me a thick, juicy steak.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26She served me imported beer.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28She kept me warm while I was watching the ball game,
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- then we drifted to the bed. - I don't need to hear this.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35It's the one thing I know won't be on the exam.
0:08:37 > 0:08:43That's uniform. On the Michaelson stakeout, Crosson with Vinowicz and Cagney and Lacey for back-up.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Oh, no, no, scratch Lacey.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49- No long hours of extra duty for Lacey until further notice.- Is she sick?
0:08:49 > 0:08:54- What, I got to give you a reason for every order?! Just do it, Coleman. - Yes, sir.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Our report made her look bad - admit it, Christine.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01How do we know she doesn't abuse him? How?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- We didn't see it! - Neither did anyone else.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07A social worker takes three hours to evaluate a case.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09It doesn't mean it didn't happen.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12I think that Eleanor Taggart loves her son.
0:09:12 > 0:09:18- I saw her face when you took him out of that hole.- Are we supposed to say we made a mistake on the report?
0:09:18 > 0:09:23- We put what we saw.- On that basis they took Kevin away from his mum. She's got nobody on her side.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Except you -
0:09:25 > 0:09:28who's, obviously got some wonderful idea.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31What?
0:09:31 > 0:09:32OK...
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Willy gave Kevin dope. He could be independent,
0:09:35 > 0:09:39- or part of the dope ring which works the neighbourhood.- It's possible.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Narcotics have been on this for three, four months - they got nowhere.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48If the kid leads them to an arrest, the judge might find in the mother's favour?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Maybe.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56In the meantime, I wouldn't mind busting Willy Smoke, or the people he works for.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Yeah.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03I bet he wasn't holding when you talked to him. I want to finish this one.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18BALL GAME ON TV
0:10:18 > 0:10:22- You see that? He charged and they didn't even call it!- So?
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- What a rip-off!- Whoa!
0:10:26 > 0:10:32- Take it easy, Michael! Just cos... you don't take advantage.- He didn't mean nothing by it. It's all right.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Michael, come here and sit by me. Come on. Come on.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44Listen, we want to have a special dinner tonight because I want to talk to you.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Now, I promised that I would never lie to you.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50I know that you know something's been going on.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52You've a right to know what it is.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57I don't want you to be scared, all right?
0:10:57 > 0:11:00I saw the doctor today. I'm to have an operation.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03What kind of operation?
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Well...I have a lump in my breast.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09The doctor says my breast has to be removed.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14That's what happened to Bobby Vitello's mother.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Bobby's mother died. Are you going to die?
0:11:17 > 0:11:19No, sweetheart. Oh, don't think that.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Of course I'm not going to die. Jeez!
0:11:35 > 0:11:37HORN BLAST
0:11:37 > 0:11:40IMPATIENT HORN BLASTS
0:11:46 > 0:11:52Hey! What's the matter?! Can't you read?! Detective parking only - deliveries are out at the front!
0:11:52 > 0:11:58- Oh, take it easy, lady. I'm just going to be a minute.- That's some answer when you're breaking the law!
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- There was a garbage truck out there! - Listen, you...
0:12:01 > 0:12:07- you're lucky I don't have you hauled out of here!- You're a real prize lady!- Same to you, you crud bum!
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- Crud bum?! - Get in your car and back it up!
0:12:10 > 0:12:14REPETITIVE BLASTS FROM VAN HORN
0:12:14 > 0:12:15Move it!
0:12:15 > 0:12:18ME?! Me back up?! YOU back up!
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- Hurry up! I got things to do!- Yeah?!
0:12:21 > 0:12:24You know what you're dealing with?! I'm a cop!
0:12:24 > 0:12:27What do I care what you are! I'm from...
0:12:27 > 0:12:30You came from Jersey! Go back to Jersey!
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Ready?! Back it up!
0:12:35 > 0:12:38BACKGROUND CHATTER AND DISCUSSION
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Sorry I'm late, I had to go to court.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45The traffic was lousy and there's a fathead parked in our space.
0:12:45 > 0:12:50- I mean, it's a police...- Lacey. - ..station. You'd think they'd obey the signs, right, sir?- No problem.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Have a good day, Lacey.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59- Hi, how are you doing? - It's not been my favourite morning, Christine.- Well.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04- What's that?- We're asked to testify at the Kevin Taggart custody hearing.- Oh, good.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09- Has Taggart decided to call Legal Aid?- No, we've been called as witnesses for the City.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13We'll have to find Willy Smoke.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20- You should get another opinion about the mastectomy. - We talked about this.
0:13:20 > 0:13:25No, we didn't. I've been reading and they all say you should have a second opinion.
0:13:25 > 0:13:31You tell me to hurry, get something done. Now you suggest seeing more doctors. I want to get it over with.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Why are you being so stubborn?! You're more stubborn than I am!
0:13:35 > 0:13:37What does it take to see one more doctor?!
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- Arguing won't pay for it. - I'll pay for it!
0:13:40 > 0:13:43What if the doctor says the same as the first guy?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Well, you took a shot.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Oh, give me a break! You said you wouldn't be back.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56- We need Willy Smoke. Has he been in recently?- Not since you hassled him.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Do you know where he might be?
0:13:58 > 0:14:02- I mind my own business.- Corelli, you know everything that goes on here.
0:14:02 > 0:14:07Maybe you'd tell us more if we took you down for questioning. That'd take hours - maybe days.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09You're a real sweetheart, you know(!)
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Mr Corelli, you heard something about Willy Smoke, am I right?
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Why not save everybody a lot of grief, OK?
0:14:16 > 0:14:21- All I heard was I wouldn't be seeing him around no more.- He left town?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Yeah. Maybe...
0:14:24 > 0:14:28- Kevin said he didn't know what he was carrying.- Which I don't believe.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- Corelli says Willy Smoke is out of town.- Which I DO believe.
0:14:32 > 0:14:38- If I'd known we'd be on a hike, I'd have worn different shoes.- Should've took him in when you had him.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- Have you ever heard of probable cause?- Hello,
0:14:41 > 0:14:47- I'd like to talk about the roster. - About what?- Let's go into my office. - We can talk about it here, sir.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50I think you ought to consider taking that time off.
0:14:50 > 0:14:56- Maybe come in afternoons for a while. - Lieutenant, I already explained that's not necessary.- Please...
0:14:56 > 0:15:00Sir, if that's all, I got a lot of work to do. What is this, here?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02What's this - the City dump?
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- Who left this here? - Come on, let me give you a hand.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Will you please stop walking on eggs around me!
0:15:16 > 0:15:20I have cancer. I have breast cancer.
0:15:20 > 0:15:25And so Coleman won't have to take any bets on it, it's this one here - left one, OK?
0:15:27 > 0:15:29That satisfy everybody's curiosity?
0:15:30 > 0:15:35I have to have an operation, but I don't want people treating me like I'm some kind of freak.
0:15:36 > 0:15:41I would appreciate it if everybody would just forget about it, please.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- What's it gonna look like, Harv?- Eh?
0:16:13 > 0:16:16I'm trying to imagine what it's gonna be like.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20It's gonna be OK.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30I wasn't sure.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35I know that you like to look at me.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39You like to look at my breasts.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45I couldn't take it, Harv.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47I'll see it in your eyes.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50There's nothing...
0:16:50 > 0:16:55nothing they can do to you that would make you any less beautiful to me.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11100 multiple-choice questions is no big deal.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13It's like a season of major league games.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17You win a third, lose a third and the rest is up for grabs.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21It's the day after tomorrow, Victor. You haven't even cracked a book.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Bon Bon reviewed me all weekend
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- and then I reviewed her. - I'm sure you got a lot done.
0:17:27 > 0:17:32I don't have to worry! The written test is part one. In part two, I've got it made.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36Oh, yeah(!) Well, how do you figure that?
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- It's simulated situations. - Right.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40- They video-tape our responses. - Uh-huh.
0:17:40 > 0:17:45Now, with a profile like this, how can I not make a sergeant, eh?
0:17:54 > 0:17:58I'm already late for work, you know, so you can come here and lie to me.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03We're not lying. If Kevin helps us get the dealers it may help in your custody case.
0:18:03 > 0:18:08Could make it worse. Would look bad if Kevin knew he was carrying drugs.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- Come on, he knew... - You think he knew?
0:18:10 > 0:18:16- If he admits to it, they take him away - case closed - but you get your big bust and promotion.- Mrs Taggart!
0:18:16 > 0:18:19If he says nothing, maybe I've got chance to keep him.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24Then what happens? What if Willy Smoke comes back with more money, and you lose Kevin to the street -
0:18:24 > 0:18:26this time forever?
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Every time I trust you people, I get hurt.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40Mrs Taggart, I don't think the City should take your son away from you.
0:18:40 > 0:18:45I believe this could help you and him. And the car is right over there.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Brought you something.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10I thought you might be missing it.
0:19:10 > 0:19:15That's Darryl Strawberry. He got his autograph last summer at a baseball game.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17That's his idol.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24What's the matter, baby?
0:19:24 > 0:19:27I can't keep it here, Momma, someone will steal it.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32- Did you hear him? You think I don't do better than this?- Mrs Taggart,
0:19:32 > 0:19:36we're here to help...please.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Kevin?
0:19:46 > 0:19:49They want to ask you some questions, honey.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51I want you to answer up, OK?
0:19:51 > 0:19:52OK.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Hi, Kevin.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Hi.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- How are you doing?- All right.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Listen, Kevin... when we were down that hole together
0:20:02 > 0:20:06I said I couldn't get you out without your help
0:20:06 > 0:20:08and you helped me.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Detective Lacey and I, we need your help again.
0:20:13 > 0:20:18We need you to tell us about those packages you were carrying for Willy Smoke.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Do you know what was in those packages?
0:20:22 > 0:20:24He gave you money, didn't he?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Did you deliver drugs for him?
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Kevin, we know he did.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- I ain't no stoolie.- Now, you listen to me, Kevin Taggart!
0:20:32 > 0:20:36Maybe I made some mistakes, but Momma loves you
0:20:36 > 0:20:38and I tried to teach you what was right.
0:20:38 > 0:20:43- Now, you did wrong for that Willy Smoke...- Momma, we needed the money.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Not that kind of money, baby.
0:20:45 > 0:20:51Now, you DID wrong, and you gotta face up to it and tell these ladies the truth.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53I know it's hard, baby,
0:20:53 > 0:20:56but there comes a time in EVERYBODY'S life
0:20:56 > 0:20:58when they have to do HARD things.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Now, it's not fair
0:21:00 > 0:21:02but that's the way it is.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06I'm scared, Mom.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Oh, baby.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11You don't have to be scared, baby.
0:21:11 > 0:21:16You just tell these ladies the truth, and you don't have to be scared.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20Kevin, you knew what was in those packages, didn't you?
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Six hours on the computer and we get zilch.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40I mean, how many perps can there be with an alias of Bandana?!
0:21:40 > 0:21:45- Maybe he's Colombian, or something. - Kevin never said anything about an accent.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49I think we ought to try and find that bar.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Mary Beth, you just went off shift 15 minutes ago.
0:21:52 > 0:21:58- The kid said he lives over a bar with a big blue sign.- We don't know its name. We don't know where it is.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02He said it was up town and the name has something to do with blue.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07OK, do you know how many bars that covers between here and the Bronx?
0:22:09 > 0:22:13- You're in no shape to work late tonight.- I can handle it, Christine.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Want to come, or want me to drop you off somewhere?
0:22:18 > 0:22:23All right, it's almost midnight. We've hit ten bars. Are you ready to call it a night?
0:22:23 > 0:22:28- Hey, you, I'm talking to, we've got three more to check on. - Mary Beth, it'll be there tomorrow.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30The hearing starts at 4pm.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35- I don't think you should be pushing yourself like this. - Look, you wanna...go home?
0:22:35 > 0:22:37I'll finish it myself.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40The hell you will!
0:22:44 > 0:22:50- So what d'you say? If we give it a half hour.- There's the apartment above it, exactly like Kevin said.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52This is it.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56He could be there.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Look at this - a man with a bandana.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28I think Mr Bandana's open for business.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30This is car 21.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Repeat, this is car 21.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36Request uniform backup at 632, West One into Twenty-Third Street.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38'Roger, car 21.'
0:23:50 > 0:23:52POLICE! Stay where you are!
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Mary Beth!
0:24:24 > 0:24:28Freeze, you bastard! I swear to God, I'll take you out the game.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33You'll not mess up any more little kids - no more.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41GIVE ME THIS HERE!
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Mary Beth!
0:24:45 > 0:24:47APPROACHING SIRENS
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Are you all right?
0:24:52 > 0:24:57What the hell are you trying to prove here?! Are you trying to kill yourself?!
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Do it on your own time, Mary Beth!
0:25:03 > 0:25:08Listen, you want to keep ignoring the people who care about you?
0:25:08 > 0:25:10You're gonna be dead anyway!
0:25:21 > 0:25:26I'm glad you came to us. So many women never get a second opinion - it's really a good idea.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30I disagree with your surgeon, Mrs Lacey.
0:25:30 > 0:25:35I'm going to consult my colleague, who's a radiation therapist, but I'm sure she'll concur.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39I don't think a mastectomy is necessary at this point.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43- Why not?- Because your lesion is small, less than 2cm diameter,
0:25:43 > 0:25:46and it's in the outer quadrant of the breast,
0:25:46 > 0:25:51and that's the simplest location for a lumpectomy.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53And what, exactly, is that?
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Just what it sounds like. We excise the lump
0:25:56 > 0:25:58and a little of the surrounding tissue,
0:25:58 > 0:26:02and do a biopsy of the lymph glands under the arm.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Now, if those are free of cancer
0:26:04 > 0:26:08the patient is allowed to heal... oh, one to two weeks.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12Then treat it externally with radiation,
0:26:12 > 0:26:14five days a week, for five weeks.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18- That's done on an outpatient basis. - I won't have to stay in hospital?
0:26:18 > 0:26:23You can even continue working. These are relatively simple procedures.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27After that there's a two-week waiting period and the patient's readmitted to hospital
0:26:27 > 0:26:31and several hollow tubes...
0:26:31 > 0:26:35of radioactive material are implanted in the breast.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37They're left two or three days and then removed.
0:26:37 > 0:26:42Now, this is done under anaesthesia but it's a fairly low-risk procedure.
0:26:42 > 0:26:48- The other doctor said I had to have chemotherapy.- But only if the tumour has spread to the lymph glands.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52If it hasn't, radiation is MUCH easier.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56It has very few unpleasant side effects. A mild rash is the worst.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59It's something like a sunburn that eventually disappears.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Oh, and most patients usually feel some fatigue.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06And after the radiation, what then?
0:27:06 > 0:27:10We'll give you a checkup, two weeks after the implant, for any sign of infection.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15Then I see you monthly for a while. Then regular checkups for five years.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Why didn't the other surgeon tell me about all this?
0:27:18 > 0:27:22Why did he say that my breast definitely had to come off?
0:27:22 > 0:27:27Some surgeons still think that mastectomy is the only way to treat breast cancer.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Not all of them have experience of a lumpectomy.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Now, if this were California, or Massachusetts,
0:27:33 > 0:27:37your surgeon must inform you about other treatments - it's state law.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40So, it just depends on the doctor you go to?
0:27:40 > 0:27:44I'm afraid so. Some doctors are sceptical about radiation therapy.
0:27:44 > 0:27:49They remember the old techniques when it was more primitive. We've come a long way since then.
0:27:49 > 0:27:54I've the same chance of survival with this operation as with the mastectomy?
0:27:54 > 0:27:57This is still a relatively new procedure,
0:27:57 > 0:28:02but most of the studies indicated that this type of carcinoma, caught as early as we have -
0:28:02 > 0:28:08and that's the main key, early detection - there's no measurable difference in the recurrence rate.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Lucky you came in when you did.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18- Well, that's great!- Yeah.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22- That's a lot better than that other doctor told you.- Good news, huh?
0:28:22 > 0:28:25- Yeah.- Yeah, if they find that it...
0:28:25 > 0:28:28it didn't spread to the lymph nodes...
0:28:29 > 0:28:31I wonder how they tell you, huh?
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Anyways, it may be all right.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36So, when are you going to do it?
0:28:36 > 0:28:41Tomorrow morning. Yeah, I wanted to stay late, Christine, uh, for Eleanor Taggart,
0:28:41 > 0:28:46but the doctor couldn't work it out. So, I have to check in this hospital this afternoon, um...they do tests.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49It's no problem. I'll take care of the hearing.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52That's what I'm worried about, Christine.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Mary Beth, I have to tell the truth as I saw it.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59Yeah.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09I'm gonna miss the sergeant's exam.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13- So, you take the next sergeant's exam.- Right.
0:29:13 > 0:29:19What's four years?! You know, I'm looking forward to calling you Sergeant Cagney.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Sergeant Christine would do.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26Probably turn out to be the type to take advantage of rank, right?
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Absolutely.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Absolutely.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Oh, dear.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53- Not so bad, huh?- Huh?
0:29:53 > 0:29:56- You don't have to do that, Harv. - It's all right.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04- Harvey?- Yeah?
0:30:04 > 0:30:09There's a lasagne in the freezer. Ask Muriel to take it out in the morning and defrost it.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13- Hey, babe, my mother knows how to defrost lasagne.- Sure.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16- She'll probably want to cook anyways.- Yeah.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21You know, Michael can get around your mother.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25- She won't make him wear his retainer.- So? His teeth won't fall out!
0:30:25 > 0:30:28- It's important that he wears... - Mrs Lacey.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- Yes?- I'm from the friendly folks at Haematology.
0:30:31 > 0:30:36- We'd like to invite you downstairs for some blood tests.- What's wrong with her blood?- Nothing, OK.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39We have to do some routine blood studies.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42It's required for all patients having surgery.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Madam, your car!
0:30:51 > 0:30:54This won't take long. You can wait here.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24I'm going to need you to testify to the condition of the Taggart apartment, Detective.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Um, basic tenement, right?
0:31:26 > 0:31:30- Well, I...- Filthy, roach heaven? - .. No, I wouldn't say that.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34- Any evidence of alcohol or drugs? - Not that I saw.- But there could be?
0:31:34 > 0:31:38- Was there any nourishing food in the house - fruit...?- Kevin?
0:31:38 > 0:31:43- I wasn't looking in... - Don't push me!- I didn't touch you! - You can't do that!
0:31:43 > 0:31:47He's doing his job. You can't talk to Kevin, it could ruin his testimony.
0:31:47 > 0:31:53- She can see him after, right?- Well, we'll see.- Nobody has the right to keep me from my son!- Stop it!
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Sit down!
0:32:04 > 0:32:09Now, you've got to calm down, because you're not making it any easier on yourself by fighting him.
0:32:11 > 0:32:16- Look, I understand. I have a bad temper myself.- You don't have to talk down to me, lady.
0:32:16 > 0:32:21- Wait a minute! I wasn't talking down to you.- I know you look at me and you think I'm nothing.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25Well, let me tell you, from where I started, I'm doing OK.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28I didn't say differently, did I?
0:32:28 > 0:32:30But you go around judging me.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34What gives you the right to say that I'm not a good enough mother for my son?
0:32:34 > 0:32:37The point is to protect the children.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40I would never hurt my son, not ever, I love him.
0:32:40 > 0:32:45Now, I made the best home that it was possible for me to make. You could see that. Couldn't you see that?
0:32:48 > 0:32:52BELL RINGS What do you want me to do?
0:32:52 > 0:32:56Do you want to see me beg, is that what you want?
0:32:56 > 0:33:01Well, I don't have any pride, when it comes to Kevin. I'll do anything I have to do to keep him.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Please.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07Please, don't let them take my son from me. Pl...
0:33:08 > 0:33:09(..please.)
0:33:14 > 0:33:17I asked you, Kevin, if your mother ever hits you.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- She spanks me sometimes.- With what?
0:33:20 > 0:33:21Her hand.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25Does she ever hit you harder than a spanking? Does she ever hurt you?
0:33:25 > 0:33:29- No, I already told you! - I think we've established the point Mr Waters.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Have you any further questions for Kevin?
0:33:32 > 0:33:36No, your honour. The City calls Detective Christine Cagney -
0:33:36 > 0:33:38shield number 763.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47- Raise your right hand. Swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth? - I do.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57- Detective Cagney, you and your partner, Detective...- Lacey.
0:33:57 > 0:34:03..Detective Lacey were called to the Taggart apartment on the 12th of this month. Is that correct?
0:34:03 > 0:34:06- Yes.- And, on this occasion, your report states
0:34:06 > 0:34:10- that you suspected Mrs Taggart of abusing her child?- Yes.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Excuse me, your honour, this is not a trial,
0:34:18 > 0:34:24- it's a hearing to decide what's best for Kevin. I've something to say that might save time.- Go ahead.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Thank you, your honour.
0:34:28 > 0:34:33When we first had contact with Mrs Taggart and Kevin, I believed that Kevin was neglected
0:34:33 > 0:34:35and might have been abused.
0:34:35 > 0:34:41My partner and I have had some time to spend with the Taggarts since then. We both feel, now...
0:34:42 > 0:34:48..that Eleanor Taggart... did the best she could under very difficult circumstances.
0:34:50 > 0:34:55If I were a single parent in her situation, I'm not sure I could have done better.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Both my partner and I...
0:34:59 > 0:35:03feel it would be wrong to break this family up, your honour.
0:35:07 > 0:35:12Mrs Taggart is a working mother who's had difficulty in providing daycare for her child.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15If the Department of Social Services could handle...
0:35:15 > 0:35:17that matter,
0:35:17 > 0:35:21we...believe that...Mrs Taggart should retain custody of Kevin.
0:35:31 > 0:35:36Hey, you're gonna be so stale, you won't care if you pass or not!
0:35:36 > 0:35:38I just want to finish this section, Lieutenant.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Hey, I got a real problem here.
0:35:44 > 0:35:49Our entire relationship's on the line here. I'm talking serious crisis.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Victor, I'm busy, OK?
0:35:52 > 0:35:55Well, it's quite a moral question, anyway.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59- Bon Bon wants me to come over and make sure the sheets stay warm, right?- Right.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02- But we got the sergeant's exam tomorrow.- Mm-hm.
0:36:02 > 0:36:07Like Montana and all those guys, they got the same problem
0:36:07 > 0:36:13every Saturday night. Would they go ahead with the lady of their choice,
0:36:13 > 0:36:18or...do they conserve their energy for the big game on Sunday?
0:36:18 > 0:36:22As far as I'm concerned it's a matter of priorities.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24What's important in your life?
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Do you know what I mean?
0:36:31 > 0:36:33- Victor, get up.- Hmm?
0:36:33 > 0:36:35Stand up, Victor.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Some guys just can't take the pressure.
0:37:15 > 0:37:19CASSETTE RECORDER PLAYS UPLIFTING CLASSICAL MUSIC
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Oh, Lieutenant.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48- Can I come in?- Sure!
0:37:50 > 0:37:55Gee, too bad, huh? Harv just went down for a coffee - he could've brought you some.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59Lacey, I...just wanted to stop by before tomorrow and...
0:38:00 > 0:38:02..tell you to hang in there, Lacey.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05I am, sir, thank you.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15You know, that was a good collar on the Colombian.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19Narcotics thinks that it's going to put some people out of business.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21Thank you, sir. Excellent news.
0:38:23 > 0:38:28Lieutenant, I'm sorry I yelled at you in front of the whole squad. I know you were trying to help, sir.
0:38:28 > 0:38:33Forget it. The important thing is that you get through this,
0:38:33 > 0:38:35and that you come back to work.
0:38:35 > 0:38:36Or, uh...
0:38:39 > 0:38:41..it'll sure be hard without you.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Thank you, sir.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54- You get well soon, huh?- Yes, sir.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59- And get some rest now, huh, Lacey? - Yes, sir.- Good...
0:39:27 > 0:39:29- Hi!- Hi, Chris.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32Hiya, Christine! You look terrific!
0:39:34 > 0:39:38- They gave her a shot to relax her before they take her down.- Uh-huh.
0:39:38 > 0:39:43- How are you doing?- Fine. - MARY BETH GIGGLES TIPSILY
0:39:43 > 0:39:45I tried to call you last night,
0:39:45 > 0:39:48when I got in, but they said it was too late.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50How did it go, at the hearing?
0:39:50 > 0:39:53They awarded Eleanor Taggart custody...
0:39:54 > 0:39:59..pending review by Social Services. Neuwirth said she'd handle daycare.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01You stuck up for her, didn't you, Christine?
0:40:02 > 0:40:04I told the truth.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08She stuck up for Mrs Taggart. She went to bat for her.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13You're a terrific human being, Christine.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18You're a peach.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20You're stoned.
0:40:21 > 0:40:22Huh?
0:40:22 > 0:40:25You're stoned.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Oh...
0:40:27 > 0:40:29- Morning.- Good morning!
0:40:29 > 0:40:31This is Doctor, um...
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Larwin.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37..Larwin. This is my partner - Christine Cagney.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39- Miss Cagney.- Doctor.
0:40:39 > 0:40:43Does he look exactly like that, um...whatshisname, Harv?
0:40:43 > 0:40:49- You know...that teacher I had at school with boss eyes.- Mr Cavanagh. - Mr Cavanagh. Christine Cagney.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54They're ready for you at the pre-op. The nurse will get you all set.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02The orderlies will be in in a minute, Mrs Lacey.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Christine, get outta here.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08I'm gonna stay, Mary Beth.
0:41:09 > 0:41:13- There's the sergeant's exam, Christine!- I don't wanna go now.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17Christine, get the hell outta here!
0:41:22 > 0:41:25- Break a leg.- Christine!
