0:02:19 > 0:02:24- The results of the Sergeant's Exam. - The results?
0:02:24 > 0:02:27My mother had a dream about it.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31She once dreamt that my father wore a dark blue suit.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- Why don't they get it over? - He NEVER wore a dark blue suit!
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Two weeks later, he keels over.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45The Pulaski Post donated a dark blue suit for him to be buried in.
0:02:45 > 0:02:52- And her dream about the Sergeant's Exam?- She called me this morning.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55The first one to crack a homicide becomes a sergeant.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Hey, that's what she said!
0:02:58 > 0:03:03She's a little late. The results are in.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Due to computer error,
0:03:05 > 0:03:11the results will not... You're gonna LOVE this one! Sorry.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Will be delayed for up to a week.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19COLEMAN: Many are called but few are chosen.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Right. I got two cases.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Cagney and Lacey, then us. Left or right?
0:03:27 > 0:03:31- Left. - Ah! It's a homicide, I can feel it!
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Poor box robbery at a church... It's all yours!
0:03:35 > 0:03:41A poor box robbery? A lousy poor box robbery?!
0:03:41 > 0:03:44The uniforms should do that!
0:03:44 > 0:03:47The Archdiocese wanted detectives.
0:03:47 > 0:03:54- Great(!) You guys wanna trade? - A missing person isn't a whole lot better.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57If we're lucky, maybe he's dead.
0:03:57 > 0:04:05This seems a great fuss over a small matter, but the Archdiocese insisted I report it.
0:04:05 > 0:04:13Apparently there have been a string of these, Father. We'll check for fingerprints,
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- but I don't think we'll get much. - Excuse me, Father,
0:04:17 > 0:04:21but that little lock isn't much use.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23But if they need the money,
0:04:23 > 0:04:29they're the ones it was meant for in the first place. Good morning.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Thank you, Father.- Sister.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46A poor box robbery...?
0:04:50 > 0:04:55- You got a dollar?- Huh? - I wanna light a candle.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Oh. You think that works?
0:04:58 > 0:05:03I don't know. My mother said it did. Thank you.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34(Mary Beth.)
0:05:44 > 0:05:49Mother, the Medical Examiner thinks that Sister Mary Michelle died
0:05:49 > 0:05:51from a blunt instrument to the head.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55A wrench...or a crowbar.
0:05:55 > 0:06:02She probably...surprised the killer at the poor box.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05I'm sorry, Mother.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09So senseless... so terribly senseless.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Excuse me, Mother. You're wearing a ring(?)
0:06:13 > 0:06:18Oh...symbolic. Our marriage to Christ.
0:06:18 > 0:06:24- And the cross. All the sisters wear both a ring and a cross?- Yes. Why?
0:06:24 > 0:06:30Because, er...Sister Mary Michelle didn't have either.
0:06:33 > 0:06:41- It may be a junkie.- There've been several robberies in the area, sir. And St Didier's is nearby.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Sounds like a guy trying to make his morning fix.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49A man was seen limping away from a church.
0:06:49 > 0:06:55So we've put every junkie with a limp through the computer.
0:06:55 > 0:07:01Look, the tabloids'll blow this up: "Crazed Nun Killer", and so on.
0:07:01 > 0:07:07Then it'll go to Major Cases. So I want to see some progress fast!
0:07:07 > 0:07:13- We'll contact every pawn shop... - KNOCK ON DOOR What?
0:07:13 > 0:07:18Excuse me, Lieutenant. Deputy Inspector Knelman for you.
0:07:18 > 0:07:23Yes, Deputy Inspector, what can I do for you...? Uh-huh.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Oh, Lord! What a day!
0:07:27 > 0:07:35- It's sardines on the subway until you get to Queens Plaza. - May as well forget the whole week.
0:07:35 > 0:07:42Oh. Waiting for the Sergeant's Exam results is the hardest thing since you thought you were pregnant.
0:07:42 > 0:07:49- Thank you, Mary Beth. - Sorry! I could cut my tongue out! We're always talking about...
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- Excuse me. Lacey and Cagney?- Yeah.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58- I'm Phillip Corrigan. I work for Luis Quinones.- Great(!)
0:07:58 > 0:08:03He wants to talk to you. About Sister Mary Michelle.
0:08:03 > 0:08:08You tell your boss that we are at the 14th precinct
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- 8am to 5pm weekdays! - I hate to insist...
0:08:11 > 0:08:16Excuse me, but we're both tired, we've had a bad day.
0:08:16 > 0:08:22- And you and I know you're not going to kidnap two cops here in Manhattan.- Believe me,
0:08:22 > 0:08:29- this isn't a kidnap. - Then cut the Godfather routine, OK?
0:08:29 > 0:08:35- I'm Mr Quinones' lawyer. - Must be a full-time occupation.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39He has never been convicted of any felony.
0:08:39 > 0:08:47Which may be due to Mr Corrigan's legal skill...or my innocence.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Ladies, can I offer you a ride?
0:08:50 > 0:08:57- No, thanks. I've seen this movie. - Maybe I can offer you dinner. >
0:08:57 > 0:09:03- I have something to say to you. - Why don't you come out and say it?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06A walk would be pleasant.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Do you mind if I join you?
0:09:13 > 0:09:19I know it would have been easier to meet you as you suggested.
0:09:19 > 0:09:25However... I'm sure that you both understand...
0:09:25 > 0:09:32a certain apprehension that I have entering a police station.
0:09:32 > 0:09:40Mr Quinones, I'm tired and I'd like to go home. So if you wanna talk, just go ahead.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45I am very angry about the death of Sister Mary Michelle.
0:09:45 > 0:09:51- So are we. Next time use the phone book!- I want the killer punished.
0:09:51 > 0:09:58- So do we. So still use the phone book! - I want to help you find him.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04How are you gonna do that?
0:10:04 > 0:10:08I have certain resources at my disposal.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13Why should the death of a nun interest you?
0:10:13 > 0:10:15She was my godchild.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18The daughter of my wife's friend.
0:10:18 > 0:10:24She was only 25. My wife and she are inconsolable.
0:10:24 > 0:10:30We're sorry for their loss. Assure them it's being handled.
0:10:30 > 0:10:37Thank you for your concern and don't take this the wrong way. But...
0:10:37 > 0:10:42what I had in mind involved the sharing of knowledge.
0:10:42 > 0:10:47Such arrangements have been effective before.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50No! Thank you.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- Wait a second...- I don't like you.
0:10:53 > 0:10:59So you and the horse you rode in on...take a hike!
0:10:59 > 0:11:05You, Miss Cagney, seem to have better manners than your partner,
0:11:05 > 0:11:13and do not harbour such antipathy towards a concerned citizen.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Think it over.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Oh, geez!
0:11:42 > 0:11:46O.C.C.B. have a big file on him.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51Drugs, porno movies. And he's destroyed over a nun's death.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54He said it was his god-daughter.
0:11:54 > 0:12:01- I don't like holding hands with a criminal, sir. - Won't be the first time.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05We've solved big cases that way.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10So we should have taken him up on the offer?
0:12:10 > 0:12:13No, no, no. It's a judgment call,
0:12:13 > 0:12:17from case to case, you know? You were there.
0:12:17 > 0:12:22You assessed the situation and you made a decision.
0:12:22 > 0:12:27I'll back my officers. As long as you get results.
0:12:27 > 0:12:33- Yes, sir.- Put in a file and then find me a nun killer!
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Soon!
0:12:41 > 0:12:43This is no good!
0:12:43 > 0:12:50This is all the drug arrests for two years. You asked for felons with physical deformities.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54This includes everything. I just want a limp!
0:12:54 > 0:12:57There's no sub-group for limps.
0:12:57 > 0:13:02- These two are felons in the 14th. - And these are in the 22nd.
0:13:02 > 0:13:08But they're six months out of date. This stuff changes daily.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12A criminal is not a stable homebody.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16Where's the cross reference?
0:13:18 > 0:13:21You didn't ask for a cross-reference.
0:13:21 > 0:13:27What do you think we want this for? Night-time reading?!
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Well, how should I know? You needed it fast.
0:13:31 > 0:13:36I brought it in my lunch hour. Some people got no gratitude!
0:13:36 > 0:13:43I'm just gonna ask one question: WHEN do we get the cross-reference?
0:13:43 > 0:13:47If you get all the paper-work to me by tonight,
0:13:47 > 0:13:54- I could probably get it to you, the day after tomorrow. - We need it by TONIGHT!
0:13:54 > 0:13:58I don't mean glue-sniffers with bad skin,
0:13:58 > 0:14:02but small-time burglars with a habit and a bad leg.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05OK? Maybe.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10OK, take it. You're eating half of it, anyway.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13To go, Mr Antonelli.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15To go.
0:14:28 > 0:14:33- Lieutenant?- Huh?- I wanted to catch you before I left.- Yeah?
0:14:33 > 0:14:40I was wondering, er...if you think the Sergeant's Exam results will come in tomorrow.
0:14:40 > 0:14:47- We're at the mercy of the computers. - Right... I'll see you tomorrow.
0:14:47 > 0:14:52Petrie. You know, it's just a test. The odds are very long.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57- You ought to try and put it out of your mind.- I can't.
0:14:57 > 0:15:04You're a damned good detective, Marcus. And getting those stripes won't make you any better.
0:15:04 > 0:15:11I know... But the money would be nice.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Good night, Lieutenant. Good night.
0:15:18 > 0:15:23Listen, Mary Beth. All I know is, Popadreus said the job is mine!
0:15:23 > 0:15:27- Oh, honey...that's wonderful! - Thank you.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32- It is. It's terrific! - So shall we celebrate?
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Hero sandwiches and cold beer?
0:15:38 > 0:15:44I got this feeling, babe. This is gonna be THE job. Yes, sir.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48This is gonna be my show piece, Mary Beth.
0:15:48 > 0:15:54The liverwurst is all gone. Will you get some tomorrow?
0:15:54 > 0:15:58I'll soon be bringing home more than liverwurst.
0:15:58 > 0:16:04I've been thinking, maybe we ought to take a drive this weekend, huh?
0:16:04 > 0:16:08- Yeah? - Maybe look at some open houses.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12OK. But not just look.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16OK.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19I want to buy you a house.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22I told you I'd make it up to you.
0:16:22 > 0:16:28This co-op deal works out... and we can think about it again. Huh?
0:16:33 > 0:16:34Don't sound so excited.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38OK, Mary Beth. What is it?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Luis Quinones. He got the job for you.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46The mob guy? I don't even KNOW him!
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- Well, I do!- Since when?- Yesterday!
0:16:49 > 0:16:52He came in a big black limousine,
0:16:52 > 0:16:56and offered to find the nun killer.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59What's the connection, Mary Beth?
0:16:59 > 0:17:03He has his hand in EVERYTHING!
0:17:03 > 0:17:05This could be a coincidence!
0:17:05 > 0:17:12What?! When these two things happen back-to-back to OUR benefit?!
0:17:12 > 0:17:18What is Quinones' motive? It doesn't make any sense!
0:17:18 > 0:17:23You didn't meet him, Harve. He's trying to rope you in.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Or he's trying to make me look bad.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31Maybe he wants some favour later. But this here is NOT a coincidence!
0:17:31 > 0:17:36- OK. So what? - You would take a job off him?!
0:17:36 > 0:17:42- I deserve the job, I made the lowest bid!- But he strong-armed for you!
0:17:42 > 0:17:50- What IS the problem? This is my big break here and I'm NOT giving it up! - Harvey...- End of discussion!
0:17:53 > 0:18:00- The floater in Verrazano Narrows is NOT Harold Green. - Too bad.
0:18:00 > 0:18:07In seven years, if he's still missing, he'd be legally dead and you've got a homicide to work on!
0:18:07 > 0:18:10I'm going crazy. Why is it so long?
0:18:10 > 0:18:17- We're just as anxious as you are. - If Harold were dead, I wouldn't have to worry about it.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22But what if more than one of you gets promoted?
0:18:22 > 0:18:29They won't keep more than one sergeant in the same squad. Someone has to be transferred out!
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Yes. I thought you were on my side.
0:18:37 > 0:18:43Antonelli, I want those cross- references TODAY! Oh...really?
0:18:43 > 0:18:48Oh, Gus. That's great, yeah... What sushi?
0:18:48 > 0:18:56Oh, he liked it... Uh-huh... A little restaurant over on 51st and 7th.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59No...oh, thank YOU.
0:18:59 > 0:19:06OK. Bye-bye. Antonelli's gonna have the cross-references here today.
0:19:06 > 0:19:12- Uh-huh.- How did it go with Samuels? - He wants me to amend the DD5 file.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16- That's it?- Yes. It may look compromising,
0:19:16 > 0:19:21but there's nothing illegal, as long as I report it.
0:19:21 > 0:19:28- Great! So Harvey got the job, and you're on the up-and-up.- Yeah.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33There's nothing wrong with Harvey taking this job.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- You did not ask for it. - Right.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42I thought we were going out. Coming?
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Five bucks? You guys are cheap.
0:19:45 > 0:19:51- You know that?- You're only going to pour it down your throat.
0:19:51 > 0:19:57- You're still cheap.- Well, I'm sorry for offending you like that(!)
0:19:57 > 0:19:59- Cagney.- Yeah?
0:19:59 > 0:20:07The word on the streets is ten grand to the dude who fingers the junkie that offed the sister.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10What are YOU offering?
0:20:10 > 0:20:15- Two bottles of jimmy-jammy? - Who's offering you 10,000?
0:20:17 > 0:20:23They're gonna make you an offer you can't refuse.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30What an unexpected pleasure to see you again.
0:20:30 > 0:20:36- Have you changed your mind? - We heard about your 10,000 reward.
0:20:36 > 0:20:41Beautiful, isn't he, Miss Cagney?
0:20:41 > 0:20:45A Hyacinth Macaw. Almost the colour of your eyes.
0:20:45 > 0:20:53- We didn't come to discuss birds. - He's not only beautiful, he's smart.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57He's friendly. A great conversationalist.
0:20:57 > 0:21:05Please, I would like to give him to you. No, thanks. It would give me a lot of pleasure.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09You should stop offering things to people.
0:21:09 > 0:21:14That is not a very gracious attitude, Miss Lacey.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Detective Lacey!
0:21:17 > 0:21:24- Why did you put a price on this man's head?- Because in this land,
0:21:24 > 0:21:28money sometimes oils the wheels of justice.
0:21:28 > 0:21:34- What kind of justice did you mean? - We don't contract out our work.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Why not? Seems very sensible.
0:21:37 > 0:21:44Co-operation for our mutual benefit. But you stubbornly refuse my offer.
0:21:44 > 0:21:51You think you can manipulate anybody. Me, Cagney, my husband...
0:21:51 > 0:21:54I've heard he's found a good job.
0:21:54 > 0:22:01Yeah? What's it to you? Stay out of this case! That's all we came for.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06- I must say, Mrs Lacey... - DETECTIVE Lacey!
0:22:06 > 0:22:13I don't usually tolerate such disrespectful attitude from anyone!
0:22:13 > 0:22:17Particularly not from a woman.
0:22:17 > 0:22:24But, I understand that you've been under some personal strain.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27An illness.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32I beg your pardon?
0:22:32 > 0:22:38And so you could not take this examination for sergeant.
0:22:38 > 0:22:45A quick arrest here could help your promotion to Detective Second Grade!
0:22:45 > 0:22:51And you, Miss Cagney...you have so much riding on this Exam.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55What will you do? Lean on New York?
0:22:55 > 0:23:01I wouldn't presume to say I could influence something like that.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04But I could make a telephone call,
0:23:04 > 0:23:10and obtain a preview of the results for you.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14No, thanks. I'll wait.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23I'm merely saying it's worth considering.
0:23:23 > 0:23:29- You and I are getting nowhere! - I will not go into debt to HIM!
0:23:29 > 0:23:33You won't be in debt to him unless you want to be.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Perfect. Harvey thinks the same thing.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41Exactly. Why is it all right for Harvey to trade
0:23:41 > 0:23:46harmless favours from Quinones, but not for us?
0:23:46 > 0:23:48It's NOT OK for Harvey.
0:23:48 > 0:23:56You don't understand, do you? First he dangles the little stuff which seems quite harmless.
0:23:56 > 0:24:03And then it gets bigger and bigger, until he says, jump. You say, how high? No, Christine. He's evil.
0:24:03 > 0:24:11- Evil?!- You never heard of evil? Or was it the smooth manners that fooled you?
0:24:11 > 0:24:18I'm not fooled by anything. I just thought 'evil' sounded sort of Sunday school.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21That junkie that killed the nun,
0:24:21 > 0:24:24he's pathetic. But he's not as evil as Quinones!
0:24:24 > 0:24:29Where does he think that the junkie's GETTING the dope?
0:24:29 > 0:24:34And it's prettied up with a lot of money on top.
0:24:34 > 0:24:41People make movies and books about it and the whole thing is dedicated to greed!
0:24:41 > 0:24:47And violence. And human degradation. It's evil.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56"Arrested for possession of drugs.
0:24:56 > 0:25:02"Convicted for robbery. Left leg shorter than the other."
0:25:02 > 0:25:03Does he live near the church?
0:25:08 > 0:25:13- Last known address: Attica State Prison.- Terrific.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Lacey, phone for you on 3.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Lacey, 14th.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23What...? Harve...
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Enough! I...
0:25:25 > 0:25:31Because I forgot, that's why! I'm working, what do you think?
0:25:31 > 0:25:37When I get there, that's when. Harvey...don't start. Goodbye!
0:25:37 > 0:25:39OK, I got one.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Got a habit. No limp. Dabruvnick, Milos.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Dabruvnick, M-m-m-m...
0:25:47 > 0:25:52Last known address is West 14th Street.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53- Oh, forget it.- Why?
0:25:53 > 0:25:59O.C.C.B. turned him. He's a registered informant. Damn!
0:25:59 > 0:26:04I'm going to the morgue. There's a guy there and he's dead.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08- Great detective work, Isbecki. - Hey!- Great.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12It's Harold Green, I can feel it.
0:26:12 > 0:26:19Tell you what, Cagney, when the time comes, don't stand on ceremony. You can call me Sarge.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26Petrie! When we pass the Sergeant's Exam,
0:26:26 > 0:26:31and one of us has to go, could you take Isbecki with you?
0:26:31 > 0:26:36Chris, it's Sid from Flannery's.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Yeah, Sid. What do you need?
0:26:41 > 0:26:43What?
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Is he OK?
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Yeah. No, I understand.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53- OK, I'll be there.- What?
0:26:53 > 0:26:58Charlie's tied one on, but he won't get into the cab.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01You gotta go and get him?
0:27:02 > 0:27:03Yeah.
0:27:03 > 0:27:09- Let's leave this till the morning? - Thanks.
0:27:09 > 0:27:14- Take it easy.- I'm all right. - Lean over...the other way!
0:27:14 > 0:27:19- Hold it, hold it... Hey! - Oh, there it is!
0:27:19 > 0:27:24Okay...nice and easy... Watch your HEAD!!
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Ohh... Come on.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31- Oh, Chrissy, Chrissy, CHRISSY! - OK, Pop.
0:27:31 > 0:27:38Hey! My sergeant officer daughter! That's what I tell them.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42I tell them you're a better cop than any of them.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46You also said I could out-wrestle any of them too.
0:27:46 > 0:27:52You could with these wimps. Not like when I was in the Force.
0:27:52 > 0:27:59- You know what the doctor said about your drinking. - We had no rules and restrictions!
0:27:59 > 0:28:04- The only computer we needed was in your head!- I know.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08The cop on the beat could tell you anything.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12What are you doing? I need another drink.
0:28:12 > 0:28:18- You said you'd watch your drinking. - The whole bar watched my drinking!
0:28:18 > 0:28:21- Help me. There.- What are you doing?
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Legs up...UP!
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Hey...
0:28:25 > 0:28:28I'm so proud of you, you know that?
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Now you'll be a sergeant!
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Not yet, Charlie.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38Your mother would be proud of you too.
0:28:38 > 0:28:45- Not like me. I never made sergeant. You know why?- Because you liked the streets, Charlie.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48I was scared.
0:28:48 > 0:28:54I failed the test the first time. The second time, I fortified myself
0:28:54 > 0:28:57with a little Irish courage.
0:28:57 > 0:29:03Oh...it's OK. That's why your mother left me. I was a failure.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06Charlie, come on.
0:29:06 > 0:29:11Maybe. I never took the test again. Didn't mean anything.
0:29:11 > 0:29:16That's what I said... That's what I said.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20It's OK, Charlie.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25You did good...you did real good.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Hey, Chrissy...? Chrissy?
0:29:38 > 0:29:44I'm proud... I'm so...so PROUD of you.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53Good night, Pop.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04He sounded like hell this morning.
0:30:04 > 0:30:10- You'll HAVE to talk to Charlie about his drinking.- I have!- And?
0:30:10 > 0:30:16- You know when I do my routine, there's nothing to talk about?- Yes.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20- There is something to heredity. - I got you.
0:30:20 > 0:30:25- You and Harvey talk? - There's nothing to talk about.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28..so I gave you a call, right?
0:30:28 > 0:30:34- Write that fact right down, right? - When did he bring the stuff in?
0:30:34 > 0:30:40Yesterday, just before I closed. He asked me for a C note!
0:30:40 > 0:30:42For this stuff!
0:30:43 > 0:30:47Oh, oh, listen, no offence intended.
0:30:47 > 0:30:52Anyway, I offered the guy 15 bucks for both pieces.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54He took it.
0:30:54 > 0:31:00- Do you have the claim check? - Er, yes...- What did he look like?
0:31:00 > 0:31:05- Not much. - Could you be more specific. OK.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09Medium size, build, hair, eyes. OK?
0:31:09 > 0:31:15- Did he have a limp?- A limp, er... No, no. A habit maybe.- Like a nun?
0:31:16 > 0:31:21No, sweetheart. The eyes, you know. There was nobody home.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25A limp...
0:31:25 > 0:31:30- Let's see...where is that? Oh, here it is.- OK? Thank you.
0:31:30 > 0:31:36John Brown?! 3400, Lexington Ave...
0:31:36 > 0:31:40Lexington does not go up that far.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Look, I don't need this aggravation.
0:31:43 > 0:31:49Should I ask for references every time I make a 15 transaction?!
0:31:49 > 0:31:53If that's what it takes to avoid fraud - yes.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56You cops are all alike!
0:31:56 > 0:31:59- Thank you.- Officer Dolan...
0:31:59 > 0:32:04He's on this beat here, and he's on my back. Such accusations!
0:32:04 > 0:32:09Fencing. Receiving. I mean, the whole schmere.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13But I STILL believe in law enforcement!
0:32:13 > 0:32:18The MINUTE I read about you wanting nun jewellery, I called you.
0:32:18 > 0:32:19Am I right?
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Right?
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Right.
0:32:23 > 0:32:30So I'm an HONEST businessman. The kind of which you need more of.
0:32:30 > 0:32:35So would you tell Officer Dolan that he should allow me to exercise
0:32:35 > 0:32:38my constitutional right of breathing?
0:32:38 > 0:32:43- Right?- Right.- You want to try that description again?
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Right.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Mr Lacey? Yeah?
0:33:12 > 0:33:18I hear you want Horace Edwards on the Columbus Avenue project.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22I'm looking out for your best interest.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26I'm afraid Horace Edwards is a trouble-maker.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30I've known him for ten years. He's a good man.
0:33:30 > 0:33:37I have it on very good authority that if you hire Mr Edwards, there's going to be trouble.
0:33:39 > 0:33:46Big trouble... Perhaps you'd like to step into the car for a moment.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50We can talk this over, huh? OK.
0:34:05 > 0:34:11Harve? Michael says you didn't eat dinner. Shall I warm something up?
0:34:11 > 0:34:12No.
0:34:12 > 0:34:17- What's the matter? - Nothing's the matter.
0:34:17 > 0:34:22You didn't eat, you're standing on the roof in the rain.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25If you don't want to talk about it - fine.
0:34:25 > 0:34:30But don't tell me nothing's the matter... Come here.
0:34:31 > 0:34:39They came to see me today at the 3rd Avenue site. I was rounding up a crew.
0:34:39 > 0:34:46- Who came to see you?- Quinones and his flunky. They asked me not to hire Horace Edwards.
0:34:46 > 0:34:52Horace is the best brickmason I know. When I work, he works.
0:34:52 > 0:34:57So...I don't get the job. That's it.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00Oh, geez.
0:35:05 > 0:35:11You know what scared me, Mary Beth? I was tempted, I really was.
0:35:11 > 0:35:18I wanted that job so badly, I'd think I can do without Horace. I don't owe him anything.
0:35:18 > 0:35:23Look... anybody would be tempted, Harve.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26Yeah...? You should have seen it.
0:35:26 > 0:35:33There am I in the back of a limo and this guy's talking to me like I'm in his family.
0:35:33 > 0:35:39He's telling me not to be so proud and to think of you and the boys.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43He made me feel like, er... I don't know...
0:35:43 > 0:35:49- Saying I wasn't a good husband or provider, you know?- Oh, geez.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55Why couldn't I tell him off? Huh?
0:35:55 > 0:36:01At least I'd have had some satisfaction...some good feeling.
0:36:01 > 0:36:06Oh, no. All I could think of was here was this guy...
0:36:06 > 0:36:14and he was coming along like a god or a wizard with a magic wand and he was gonna make it all OK.
0:36:17 > 0:36:22- You know what I mean?- What? - The house, Mary Beth.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Oh, forget the damn house!
0:36:26 > 0:36:30- You sure?- Yes, I'm sure!
0:36:32 > 0:36:38I want a house, Harve, but I don't want to be a member of this man's family to get one.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Huh...! Huh!
0:36:43 > 0:36:46To heck with the house.
0:36:47 > 0:36:52We'd miss the view of Queens Boulevard, right?
0:36:52 > 0:36:56Sound of the planes, sound of the EL.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00Cop cars in the... middle of the night.
0:37:02 > 0:37:08- Who can live in all that quiet? - No good Chinese restaurants nearby.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12- I think you're pushing it here. - You think so?
0:37:14 > 0:37:21- They found him there.- Memphis? - Yeah.- Can't be Memphis, he's dead.
0:37:21 > 0:37:22He ran off with his secretary.
0:37:22 > 0:37:29He isn't even a missing person, he's just another cheating husband!
0:37:29 > 0:37:35You're on Community Relations now. You have to talk at these schools.
0:37:35 > 0:37:41Now I'll never find a homicide! Maybe you'll BORE someone to death.
0:37:41 > 0:37:47I ran off this composite from the pawnbroker. Will you distribute it?
0:37:47 > 0:37:54- If there's anything I can do to help with your case... - Back off, Isbecki. It's OUR case!
0:37:54 > 0:37:59Just a little piece of it? I'll even do the paperwork.
0:37:59 > 0:38:05You either passed or you failed - never mind what your mother dreamt.
0:38:05 > 0:38:12- That's what I told my father. Two weeks later he was six feet under.- Get anything?
0:38:12 > 0:38:18Nothing. If the man had a limp the computer does not know him.
0:38:18 > 0:38:26So we can either start from scratch or we could give it to Major Cases.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30- There's a third possibility. - NOT Quinones!
0:38:30 > 0:38:37- No. My father said computers... - There's nothing IN the computer!
0:38:37 > 0:38:41- That patrolman on the 22nd?- Dolan.
0:38:41 > 0:38:46- Needle in a haystack, Christine. - Let's give it a shot.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50- Hey! You Dolan? - What can I do for you?
0:38:50 > 0:38:58- We're Detectives Cagney and Lacey. We're looking for a suspect. - We've got a composite from Morris.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02- I'll nail him one day. - He may have a limp.
0:39:02 > 0:39:07Looks like MacDonald, but he doesn't limp. Not now.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10- Not now?- 3 weeks ago he had a limp.
0:39:10 > 0:39:16He said he did it in basketball! A heavy doper can't play basketball.
0:39:16 > 0:39:22- So this might not have shown up on the computer?- A limp?- Yeah.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26He's walking fine now.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29Do you know MacDonald's address?
0:39:29 > 0:39:31KNOCKS ON DOOR
0:39:31 > 0:39:32Mr MacDonald?
0:39:32 > 0:39:36Open up! It's the police! We want to talk to you!
0:39:38 > 0:39:41- (Fire escape.- Kick it in.)
0:39:59 > 0:40:03Hold it, young fella! Up against the wall!
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Spread 'em!
0:40:07 > 0:40:11OK, young fella, what's your name?
0:40:11 > 0:40:15- This isn't MacDonald? - No. What's your NAME?!
0:40:15 > 0:40:20- I'm not telling you. - Why were you in his flat?
0:40:20 > 0:40:22What were you DOING there?
0:40:22 > 0:40:25We were just waiting for him.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28We...?
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Lacey! Lacey!
0:40:32 > 0:40:38- Get him?- There are two! Have you got one?- I'm on it!
0:41:05 > 0:41:08There were two pistols in the cistern.
0:41:08 > 0:41:14Both these goons are probably connected to Quinones.
0:41:14 > 0:41:22- He may have put a contract on MacDonald.- Which we can't prove, so we'll book 'em for a minor rap.
0:41:22 > 0:41:28- So MacDonald is still out there. - Seen the holding cell?- Sir?
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Is that him?
0:41:34 > 0:41:41- That's MacDonald?! - Isbecki was down at a school. The guy says to him "Are you a cop?"
0:41:41 > 0:41:45He wants to turn himself in as the Mob is after him.
0:41:45 > 0:41:50He's less afraid of the NYPD than the Mob!
0:41:50 > 0:41:52You're kidding.
0:41:56 > 0:42:01- You! You know what kind of a stink bomb you are, huh?- Please...
0:42:01 > 0:42:06You killed a HOLY woman! You got my HUSBAND miserable
0:42:06 > 0:42:11all because you stick a needle in your STINKING arm!!
0:42:11 > 0:42:16- I need some methadone, lady... - Aw...you're breaking my heart... You're BREAKING my heart!!
0:42:19 > 0:42:24Sergeant Isbecki. Kind of has a nice ring to it, huh?
0:42:24 > 0:42:29THEY know you got it? No! They'd tear me apart!
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Well...?
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Kazak blew it. Pappas blew it.
0:42:34 > 0:42:39Second time round, that's tough. Isbecki?
0:42:39 > 0:42:44Not even close. He should've studied harder. Petrie made it. >
0:42:44 > 0:42:48But he won't get it for two years.
0:42:48 > 0:42:55That's too bad. He could have used the extra money before that. What about Cagney?
0:42:58 > 0:43:05All this crud because of one sad little junkie. I'm sorry, Chris.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Why? He turned himself in.
0:43:07 > 0:43:15- We couldn't have caught him even if we'd used Quinones.- Yeah.
0:43:16 > 0:43:23- Mary Beth, I'm not going to pass my Sergeant's.- You're not serious?
0:43:23 > 0:43:28Why? Because of Isbecki's mother's dream?
0:43:28 > 0:43:35- No, Knelman. I pressed those harassment charges.- He's one man. - He's one Deputy Inspector.
0:43:35 > 0:43:42He asked me not... Hell, he BEGGED me not to do it!
0:43:42 > 0:43:44But I did it!
0:43:44 > 0:43:52I'll tell you something I think is damn unfair. I've worked hard and I earned it and I DESERVE it!
0:43:52 > 0:43:54I iced that exam!
0:43:54 > 0:43:59- I bet you iced the tape too! - Damn straight?!
0:44:00 > 0:44:03- POLICE SIREN - Hennessey.
0:44:03 > 0:44:06- KNOCK ON DOOR - What?!
0:44:06 > 0:44:10- Cagney! You in there? - What is it, Sergeant Coleman?
0:44:10 > 0:44:13Lieutenant wants to see you now!
0:44:15 > 0:44:23Christine, whatever happens, it's OK. I think you made it. I'm pretty sure you made it.
0:44:23 > 0:44:29I hope to God you made it, because you were proving it for both of us.
0:44:29 > 0:44:31If the answer's no, that's OK.
0:44:31 > 0:44:37Next time we'll BOTH take the test. I remember taking a geometry test.
0:44:37 > 0:44:44Everyone figured George Fishman, the brainbox, would get an 'A'. I got 92, he got 83.
0:44:44 > 0:44:46I LOVED geometry...
0:44:48 > 0:44:50APPLAUSE
0:45:06 > 0:45:08ALL RIGHT!
