0:02:10 > 0:02:16It's more complicated than the national debt. Somebody's going to clean up here.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21- Mostly you.- This is a specialised skill, like doctors and lawyers.
0:02:21 > 0:02:28- I thought you guys had a court appearance?- We finished. We got a conviction.
0:02:28 > 0:02:36I wish you would not do that. I'm not having this baby for your amusement or profit.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Pregnant ladies get very irritable.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42What month are YOU in, Coleman - the fourth(?)
0:02:42 > 0:02:47We still have time to see those people on the Travis case.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52Don't you want to leave that till tomorrow?
0:02:52 > 0:02:56I told you I don't want special consideration!
0:02:56 > 0:03:01No. I know you hate testifying and you must be tired...
0:03:01 > 0:03:05You want to go home early, right?
0:03:05 > 0:03:11- I'm going to the theatre, and I'd like to go with clean hair. - David Keeler?
0:03:11 > 0:03:15David Keeler. And he likes my golden highlights.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20- So what does this David do? - Where to start...?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- Christine!- He's a dentist.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Dentist. That's nice.
0:03:26 > 0:03:32I know... A man who has his hands in everybody's mouths all day.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34He was born to it, Mary Beth.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Dentists are solid.
0:03:37 > 0:03:42Actually, he has sexy teeth... He has a nice smile.
0:03:42 > 0:03:48- Hospital - we got a beating victim there.- Now?- We're on our way, sir.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51OK. 15 minutes to get there.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55An hour tops for the interview, huh?
0:03:57 > 0:04:02Mary Beth, the truth. Does my hair look bad?
0:04:04 > 0:04:09It's my guess some John beat her up and dumped her.
0:04:09 > 0:04:15- Who found her?- We did. My partner's out canvassing for witnesses.
0:04:15 > 0:04:20- How bad is she?- She'll live. But the guy did a pretty good job.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Look at her. She's only a child.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- They go on the streets young. - Yeah.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Doesn't mean I can get used to it.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- Think we should wake her up?- No.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43- We'll come back. Maybe we can get an ID off this stuff.- Yeah.
0:04:44 > 0:04:52- What kind of psychopath uses a child like that, then beats her up? - Her John or her pimp.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- What's the matter?- Nothing.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Would you believe this?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Cheerleaders have stuff like that.
0:05:04 > 0:05:09- Norma Jean Baker?- Marilyn Monroe. Yes, sir.
0:05:09 > 0:05:15Her file says she's 23, Lieutenant. Not even close.
0:05:15 > 0:05:20- She has an arrest for prostitution, three weeks ago.- She also had this.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24That's from a High School in Inglewood.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27We're checking with New Jersey now for runaways.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32We're also checking on Dominic Lucero, the guy who bailed her out.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36- You know him?- He's a pimp, right?
0:05:36 > 0:05:44- We just had Lucero in here on something.- Murder over at 22nd. They wanted to talk to him.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49- He was picked up on that. - That was a young hooker, too.
0:05:49 > 0:05:54- Where were we when all this was going on?- I don't know.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58- Let's get out there, see what he's doing today.- Yes, sir.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Lieutenant, I won't be back today.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- I've an appointment with the dentist.- Oh.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- You want to stop and rest a minute? - No, thank you, Christine.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- Sure?- All I am is pregnant.
0:06:43 > 0:06:48I walked the beat when I was carrying Michael.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Mr Lucero!
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- Is Dominic Lucero here?- No.
0:07:02 > 0:07:09- I don't know where he is. - You do KNOW him, right?- Yeah. But he's not here.
0:07:09 > 0:07:15- We're police officers. Can we ask you some questions?- OK.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Well, I gotta leave pretty soon. I have an appointment.
0:07:30 > 0:07:35- What's your name? - Adriene Whicker.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39How old are you? 18.
0:07:39 > 0:07:47- I really got to leave in a few minutes, and I gotta get ready.- How'd you know Lucero?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- I don't know him.- You said you did!
0:07:50 > 0:07:55Yeah, well... I thought you said something else.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Ever hear of a girl named Amy Turkleson?
0:07:59 > 0:08:03How about Norma Jean Baker?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Nope.
0:08:05 > 0:08:13About your age. Blonde, green eyes. Weighs 110 lbs.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16She's just been beaten half to death.
0:08:16 > 0:08:22- No. I don't know her. - Somebody tried to kill her.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26If you hang out with the same people, you could be in trouble.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30I can't help you. I'm sorry. I gotta go.
0:08:44 > 0:08:50- That was a waste of time. - We could call the morgue right now, reserve a table for that one.
0:08:50 > 0:08:57Sign me out. I'll grab a cab, and have time to wash my hair.
0:09:00 > 0:09:06- That is the kind of thinking that is ruining American theatre. - What is wrong with Neil Simon?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09He is devoid of substance.
0:09:09 > 0:09:14Oh, substance! Contemplating the navel while waiting for Godot?
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- Something wrong with Beckett?- No.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Samuel Beckett is the greatest...
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- I'm sorry. I wasn't looking. - I knew it.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- Let go of it!- Christine... - She stole this.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- I grabbed it to keep from falling. - And I'm Mother Goose(!)
0:09:32 > 0:09:37- It's my wallet. I'll handle it. - Let the police do their work.
0:09:37 > 0:09:42- Christine...- Six wallets?
0:09:42 > 0:09:44I'll give 'em back. Be quiet.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48You'll only incriminate yourself. You can't use what she just said.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50You didn't mirandize her.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53And that might constitute illegal search.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- Illegal?- Shall I give her back your wallet?
0:09:57 > 0:10:02- Of course not.- What, then?
0:10:02 > 0:10:06How about backing off? I want a lawyer.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07You got it.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10She's got a dentist.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15- You wouldn't have gone out with me if I told you I was a lawyer.- A lawyer?!
0:10:15 > 0:10:20- You two going together?- You stay out of this. Try ASKING me next time.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23This is never going to work for you.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Christine, this is my territory.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29A cop and a lawyer won't cut it.
0:10:31 > 0:10:38Not just any lawyer - an American Civil Liberties Union lawyer!
0:10:38 > 0:10:43- It IS funny, Christine. - Funny? Sgt Libun was FUNNY!
0:10:43 > 0:10:50"We'd like to thank you for bringing in the perpetrator AND the lawyer."
0:10:50 > 0:10:56- And what happened to the pickpocket? - She walked. She gave David back his wallet.
0:10:56 > 0:11:03- I would have liked to have seen it. - Try next Thursday. You might see an encore.
0:11:03 > 0:11:09- You're going out with him again? - I'm going to an ACOU dinner.- Oh!
0:11:09 > 0:11:16I think I'll have cards made up that say "Hi, I'm a cop and don't tell me about the '68 convention."
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Stephanie...
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Hi, Stephanie. How are you feeling?
0:11:42 > 0:11:47I'm Detective Lacey. This is Sgt Cagney.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51What makes you think my name's Stephanie?
0:11:51 > 0:11:56It's all right. Your parents are having you transferred.
0:11:56 > 0:12:02- Who asked you to call my parents? - Hey, wait a second. Don't do that.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Let go of me!
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Mary Beth, call the nurse.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Now, stop it.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Stop it.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17- Any other witnesses? - Nobody will talk to us.
0:12:17 > 0:12:22You've had days and you still haven't enough to bring Lucero in.
0:12:22 > 0:12:30- The girl can give us a positive ID. - I thought she was uncooperative? - Well, she called us.
0:12:30 > 0:12:38- Why the turn-around? - That's what we're going to find out. - Probably she feels safer at home.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- All right. Take the whole day. - Yes, sir.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- Think we'll be back by six? - Maybe seven.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Well, remind me to call Harve.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54- It's the baby. Harvey's getting maternal.- Harvey?
0:12:54 > 0:12:59- Lacey's looking real good, don't you think, Marcus?- Yeah.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03She always looks good to me.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Naw, it's different.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11She...she seems like she...glows.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19- Glows?- Yeah. She looks more like a...mother now.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Well, THAT I noticed.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Nice and...safe.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- Safe?- Yeah.
0:13:26 > 0:13:32See, there are dangerous females, the kind a man would die for...
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Yes, I can imagine.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Then there are safe females you can count on...
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- like mothers...- Madonnas?
0:13:42 > 0:13:50That singer? No. She's definitely in the dangerous category. No. What I mean is...
0:13:51 > 0:13:56Take Claudia, for instance. A real pretty lady.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Not dangerous, she's nice and safe, right?
0:14:00 > 0:14:04Actually, she's nice and dangerous.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Eat your heart out, Victor.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Stephanie will be down in a moment.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41My husband wanted to be here, but he couldn't get away from the office.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49I was just having an afternoon sherry. Could I offer you one?
0:14:49 > 0:14:51We're on duty. Thank you.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55How about a cup of coffee?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58No, thanks. Not for me.
0:14:58 > 0:15:03Oh, caffeine... I forgot. It's changed since I had the girls.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Yes. All the new theories.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Is Stephanie feeling better?
0:15:09 > 0:15:13Yes, thank you. She should be able to go back to school soon.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18- Oh, that's good.- Yes.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28- Is that Stephanie?- No. That's her sister, Sally.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30She's at Princeton.
0:15:30 > 0:15:38- Princeton!- Yes, my Ivy League daughter.- I- never finished college. I hoped to have two at Princeton.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49Cute enough for you? It's very nice, dear.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Anything I like, she hates.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02You want to talk to us?
0:16:02 > 0:16:08- You guys want to know who beat me up?- Yes.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12Her father and I were wondering if she could testify on video,
0:16:12 > 0:16:15without being in the courtroom.
0:16:15 > 0:16:21- I'm sorry, ma'am. She'll have to be in court. - We were hoping to avoid that.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26But if it keeps that animal from attacking other children...
0:16:26 > 0:16:30And drugging them, and selling them into white slavery!
0:16:37 > 0:16:43Mrs Brandon, may I have that coffee you mentioned?
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- Certainly.- Thank you.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54- You were kidnapped, Stephanie? - Don't be a dunce.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57That's what you told your mother?
0:16:57 > 0:17:05According to her, I was so drugged, I didn't know what was happening. As if she was there, and I wasn't.
0:17:05 > 0:17:12- Maybe she's having a tough time coping with this.- She has a tough time coping - period!
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Like remembering who is at Princeton
0:17:15 > 0:17:19and who was thrown out of Drama Club for not getting a C average!
0:17:25 > 0:17:32- You said you wanted to help us. You know who beat you up? - No. I had my eyes closed.
0:17:32 > 0:17:38Listen, kid. You want to smart-mouth your mother, OK.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42But I didn't come here to take garbage off a 15-year-old punk.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45You don't want to talk to us? Fine.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49It was my pimp.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52A guy named Dom Lucero.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55He found out I was setting up as an independent.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03- You know a girl named Amy Turkleson?- Sure...
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Dom killed her.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11The same as he tried to do to me, in case you're interested.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Did you see him kill her?
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Yeah.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- Excuse me?- Yeah. I saw him.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Would you be willing to testify in court?
0:18:28 > 0:18:36Why not? It might be fun to see my mother's face when she has to sit and listen for a change.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47If one of our boys tried that smart-mouth talk, Harve would hang him out the window by his heels.
0:18:47 > 0:18:53You don't talk to your mother... or anybody...like that.
0:18:57 > 0:19:03Know what Harve brought home on Sunday? A new refrigerator.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- Nice, huh?- He's a nice man.
0:19:06 > 0:19:15It's white. 18.5 cubic feet. Got a lot of freezer space - a huge meat tray.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19Harve got a deal from a buddy in the appliance business.
0:19:22 > 0:19:27Tell you the truth, I kinda wanted California avocado -
0:19:27 > 0:19:30that pretty yellow green, you know.
0:19:30 > 0:19:36But white...well, it goes with everything.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45Somebody better get that girl some help pretty fast.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50Imagine what she's going to be like in a couple of years.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55She sees a man take a human life, and uses it to push her mother's face in the dirt.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Maybe it's the only way she can get her attention.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Christine...
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Right.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Right.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Oh, honey. Let me have one whiff, OK?
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Maybe smelling it will wake me up.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32I don't care what you say.
0:20:32 > 0:20:37A 5am stakeout is above and beyond the call of duty.
0:20:37 > 0:20:42- You're up by six every morning. - That's different.- Yeah?
0:20:42 > 0:20:48- Because I'm a cop and you're a contractor?- No. You're pregnant. I'm not.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52I'm serious. What is Samuels thinking about?
0:20:52 > 0:20:56Police work is dangerous enough in your condition.
0:20:56 > 0:21:01First, we're doing this on our own.
0:21:01 > 0:21:07And secondly, I had the same condition and the same job
0:21:07 > 0:21:10a couple of years ago, remember?
0:21:10 > 0:21:13And Michael and I came through with flying colours.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17You're pushing 40 now.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Thirty eight. Mid thirties. Late middle.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25Mary Beth, at your age there are more risks.
0:21:25 > 0:21:32Harve, there are risks off the job. I could fall downstairs carrying the laundry.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36Besides, we need the money.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- That's it! End of discussion?- Yeah.
0:21:39 > 0:21:45- Is this baby going to be as stubborn as you are?- Stubborner. Look who his father is.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49Be careful. Hey!
0:22:32 > 0:22:35How did your dinner go?
0:22:37 > 0:22:42It was an AOUC Police Brutality dinner.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45I'd have been more popular if I'd had herpes.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Oh...
0:22:47 > 0:22:52- You know what these people have? - Law degrees?
0:22:52 > 0:22:56They've got an information system set up.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01Any arrest involving assault on a police officer - BOOM.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Someone from the ACOU shows up.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Yeah, I heard about that.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Great! Someone looking over your shoulder
0:23:11 > 0:23:17- when you're trying to do your job. - With some reason!
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Don't get rational while my feet are freezing.
0:23:20 > 0:23:29What's-his-name...used to go out and beat up some pusher, then say the other guy hit him first.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33Glendenning. And he was kicked off the Force.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Who kicked him off? It wasn't us.
0:23:36 > 0:23:42One creepo got himself a lawyer and made a stink. Am I right?
0:23:42 > 0:23:45I am wrong! Where's my muffin?
0:23:45 > 0:23:51- No blueberry.- Aww... - Sorry your dinner didn't go right.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55The dessert was good.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57That's Lucero!
0:23:58 > 0:24:03- How'd he get in?- Dammit! The back entrance.
0:24:27 > 0:24:32- Let's go.- Yeah. You take the front. I'll take the back.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44You know I never mean to hurt you.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Come here.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51The cops!
0:24:52 > 0:24:53Police - halt!
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Police, Lucero!
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Don't...breathe!
0:25:05 > 0:25:11- I didn't know you were cops. - You've the right to remain silent.
0:25:11 > 0:25:18- We got lots of maniacs here. - Like the guy that beat up Stephanie Brandon?- I'm telling you,
0:25:18 > 0:25:22- I don't know any Stephanie Brandon. - Get in there!
0:25:24 > 0:25:29- Don't know Amy Turkleson either? - Name rings no bells.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33Probably never even heard of the word "pandering"?
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Something to do with bears?
0:25:36 > 0:25:43- Very funny! Let's see you laugh when you're booked for homicide. - Christine!
0:25:43 > 0:25:49What time did that happen? I see... Will you hold on, please?
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Stephanie is gone.
0:25:53 > 0:26:00She had a fight with her parents. This morning, they can't find her. Her mother's purse is missing.
0:26:06 > 0:26:13- I called in all Mrs Brandon's card numbers, and sent out Stephanie's description.- Mary Beth,
0:26:13 > 0:26:20Lucero will be arraigned in one hour, then he'll be out on bail.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24- We'll find her first. - HE knows where to look for her.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Well, we'll follow Lucero.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31Samuels won't approve a 24-hour tail.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Well, have you got a better idea?
0:26:39 > 0:26:43It's 7.45... Is there anybody at the DMV?
0:26:43 > 0:26:47- Parking ticket? - You go with what you can get.
0:27:11 > 0:27:17Mr Lucero. Sgt Cagney... Det Lacey.
0:27:17 > 0:27:22These are our badges. We're police officers.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25- Police officers.- Police officers?
0:27:25 > 0:27:28It's real nice to see you girls again.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32- This your vehicle? - You want my registration?
0:27:32 > 0:27:37- Is this your vehicle, sir? - Yes, it is my vehicle.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41Our records show 43 unpaid traffic tickets.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42Don't!
0:27:45 > 0:27:49Hey, I was just going to show you the receipt.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Fine. Two fingers.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Two fingers?
0:27:54 > 0:27:55That's right.
0:27:55 > 0:28:00- Very slowly. - Very slowly. You are cute.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Paid today.
0:28:10 > 0:28:16Thought it would be a nice idea to take care of everything at once.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20Hey, I'm sorry. I guess...
0:28:20 > 0:28:24- maybe you could catch some jaywalkers.- Adriene?
0:28:24 > 0:28:28- How's your lip?- I slipped.
0:28:28 > 0:28:33Yeah, we saw. Does he let you keep anything?
0:28:33 > 0:28:38No. Shut up! They're trying to get me.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Now, if you'll excuse us...
0:28:42 > 0:28:48Just one minute. You don't mind if I check out your vehicle?
0:28:57 > 0:28:58SMASH
0:28:58 > 0:29:01- You've got a broken tail light. - What?!
0:29:01 > 0:29:05That's a violation.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09You kicked that in! There's glass all over the place.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12- According to the vehicle...- What?!
0:29:13 > 0:29:16That's it! Turn around.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Put your hands on the car, idiot!
0:29:21 > 0:29:25It's a terrible thing, Lucero, assaulting a police officer.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Det Lacey, call for a backup.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31Yes, Sergeant.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35No, the celery and the onions first.
0:29:35 > 0:29:41- I think you just don't understand. - I understand perfectly!
0:29:41 > 0:29:44First, you break the guy's light,
0:29:44 > 0:29:48- then you beat him up. - I did NOT beat him up.
0:29:48 > 0:29:55- The swelling went down in ten minutes.- Severity of injury is not the point.
0:29:55 > 0:30:00- You do all that and then say he assaulted YOU.- He did!
0:30:00 > 0:30:05- Were you injured?- Severity of injury is not the point!
0:30:05 > 0:30:13- Besides, my partner is pregnant. - People have rights, guaranteed by law. As a law officer,
0:30:13 > 0:30:18you have a legal and ethical obligation to uphold those rights.
0:30:18 > 0:30:25What about the rights of a 15-year-old girl? She has a right not to be murdered.
0:30:25 > 0:30:31- Life is the first inalienable right. - The Declaration of Independence.
0:30:31 > 0:30:36Anyway, that girl - whatever her name was - is not under discussion.
0:30:36 > 0:30:44Oh, that girl - Stephanie - is not important. It's only the murderers you're interested in.
0:30:44 > 0:30:52- I'm interested in denial of rights, and that includes those of suspected murderers.- Well, it shouldn't.
0:30:53 > 0:30:58A person wants human rights, he should act like a human being.
0:30:58 > 0:31:04Or... A person who kills other people is a bad person.
0:31:04 > 0:31:09A bad person should not have the same rights as a good person.
0:31:09 > 0:31:15That's the argument the Nazis used to send the Jews to the death camps.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19- It's nothing like... - It's the same.
0:31:19 > 0:31:25It's exactly the same kind of thinking that got us Auschwitz.
0:31:25 > 0:31:32- How come I hear about the holocaust from every Jewish lawyer I date? - It shouldn't be forgotten.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35It is exactly what we're talking about!
0:31:35 > 0:31:43And I'm NOT Jewish. I'm Catholic, Lithuanian. I got you there, didn't I?
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Hey, come on. I think that's ready for the chicken.
0:31:50 > 0:31:55This is a nice intellectual exercise for you, isn't it?
0:31:55 > 0:32:02You sit around on your rear end all day judging people. It's all abstract. Not like my job.
0:32:02 > 0:32:10- I deal with criminals. - What do you think I do? - Sit around in an ivory tower,
0:32:10 > 0:32:17while I'm putting my ass on the line. People like you... Where are you going?
0:32:17 > 0:32:23- The bathroom.- I'm not through yet. - Cagney, face it. You lost.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26So, let's eat. And then you can pay up.
0:32:32 > 0:32:39Well, at least I don't have to lie about MY job to get a date, Dr Keeler.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43TOILET FLUSHES
0:32:43 > 0:32:47- She used the cash card here. - Thirty six hours ago.
0:32:47 > 0:32:52- You think she's working here? - It would be convenient.
0:32:52 > 0:32:59- Well, she said she was going in business for herself.- But would she stick around the same area?
0:32:59 > 0:33:05She's 15 years old, and not thinking about getting caught.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Maybe...
0:33:14 > 0:33:19It's a nice day. A little sun on my face before winter.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Is it all over with David?
0:33:22 > 0:33:27I don't particularly like being called a Nazi.
0:33:27 > 0:33:34The man can't comprehend how important it is to save a person's life!
0:33:39 > 0:33:43- It's your turn to talk.- Huh?
0:33:43 > 0:33:48I know you want me to tell you you were right, but I can't.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50OK, we should have let him go!
0:33:50 > 0:33:57We should have put him back on the streets to hunt down and kill that child(!)
0:33:57 > 0:34:00- I'm not saying that.- He's garbage!
0:34:00 > 0:34:07- He doesn't care who he hurts, pregnant women... - Lay off the pregnant women!
0:34:07 > 0:34:12I'm saying we took him dirty and I think we both know it.
0:34:12 > 0:34:19- What would you have done? - I'd have got him for loitering, for littering in the street...
0:34:19 > 0:34:21He'd have been out in 20 minutes!
0:34:21 > 0:34:28He'd be out looking for Stephanie and you could be real virtuous at her funeral.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31What you did was WRONG.
0:34:31 > 0:34:37- When you're the boss you can call the shots.- Yes, Sergeant(!)
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Oh, I wish I'd bet money. Look.
0:34:45 > 0:34:51I was just minding my own business... YOU propositioned me!
0:34:51 > 0:34:54I'm Sergeant Cagney,
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Detective Lacey. What's going on?
0:34:56 > 0:34:58This gentleman...
0:34:58 > 0:35:02I was solicited - that's what.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05He made a citizens' arrest. My office is here.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09< I pay a lot of money for a good address.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12What kind of impression does this make -
0:35:12 > 0:35:14streetwalkers in front of the building?
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Will you press charges?
0:35:16 > 0:35:19- Of course!- Just step over here, sir.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21Trash!
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Eh...excuse me.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28This lady is a witness in a murder case.
0:35:28 > 0:35:33You want her, you got her. Butt out of this!
0:35:33 > 0:35:36I'm doing you a favour.
0:35:36 > 0:35:42- Keep your favours...- Button it up! - Go stick your nose somewhere else!
0:35:42 > 0:35:46Fine, kid. Officer, you got her.
0:35:46 > 0:35:52- I got money, let me bail out now. It'll save us a trip.- Eh, Officer...
0:35:52 > 0:35:56She's a minor. Take her to Juvenile Hall.
0:35:56 > 0:35:57Hey!
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Leave me alone. >
0:35:59 > 0:36:07- Listen kid, I need you to get Lucero.- Go to hell! You think I'm a stupid kid!
0:36:07 > 0:36:11You ARE stupid to do this to yourself.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15I make money and men WANT me.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17Men want you?
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Yeah.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Tough it out by yourself, then.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30You take my advice, kid...
0:36:35 > 0:36:39That armour you're carrying around gets real heavy later on.
0:36:43 > 0:36:44Get her out of here.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Mrs Brandon? Good morning.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01Detective Lacey, Sgt Cagney, this is my husband.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Pleased to meet you.
0:37:03 > 0:37:09Er...Stephie's in Juvenile Hall, we could give you directions...
0:37:09 > 0:37:12We know where she is, but...
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Why don't you sit down? Please.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23We were wondering if...
0:37:23 > 0:37:29Stephanie could remain in police custody for a few more days...?
0:37:29 > 0:37:32I don't understand.
0:37:34 > 0:37:39We've...decided to have Stephanie committed to a mental institution
0:37:39 > 0:37:43- for treatment...- Mental institution?
0:37:43 > 0:37:47- Her doctor recommended it. - That's drastic.
0:37:47 > 0:37:51This IS a drastic situation.
0:37:53 > 0:37:58- Has anyone talked to Stephanie? - I did, last night.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00She IS a prostitute.
0:38:00 > 0:38:05She enjoys it. That's...how disturbed she is.
0:38:05 > 0:38:10Stephanie does need help, but there must be some other way.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13Have you considered Family Therapy?
0:38:13 > 0:38:21We tried that a year ago. Stephanie wouldn't say anything, so we finally gave up.
0:38:21 > 0:38:26There are halfway houses where Stephanie could...
0:38:26 > 0:38:31- Could live with prostitutes... - FORMER prostitutes.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Alan?
0:38:33 > 0:38:40We KNOW what we have to do and we assume you'll assist us by holding Stephanie.
0:38:41 > 0:38:49Mrs Brandon, if you're not completely convinced about this, you can reconsider.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53- This doesn't concern you! - It does concern me, Mr Brandon.
0:38:53 > 0:38:59There must be some other option besides just putting her away!
0:38:59 > 0:39:02You're out of line, Detective!
0:39:02 > 0:39:08We HAVE tried! We could have got her into Princeton if she'd listened.
0:39:08 > 0:39:12We want what's best for Stephanie!
0:39:12 > 0:39:15My wife used to be a happy woman...
0:39:15 > 0:39:18I will not have her hurt!
0:39:18 > 0:39:21< We have made the decision!
0:39:21 > 0:39:25Stephanie NEEDS a controlled environment.
0:39:30 > 0:39:31DOOR BANGS SHUT
0:39:34 > 0:39:38Our daughter needs to be put away for her own protection.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Mr Brandon, please sit down.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57- Are you OK?- Perfect! Couldn't be better.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Without a witness we lose Lucero.
0:40:00 > 0:40:05He's back on the street and Stephanie is in a funny farm!
0:40:05 > 0:40:13God is in his Heaven and all is right with the world(!) Princeton, my butt!
0:40:16 > 0:40:21- Shall we start on the Lefcourt witnesses?- I couldn't care less.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29OK, Christine. Let's go.
0:40:29 > 0:40:35- We're going for a walk. - We have 11 more cases!
0:40:35 > 0:40:39- Call it lunch.- I'm not hungry. - Call it therapy.
0:40:48 > 0:40:54Christine, the Brandons are very sad people. I feel sorry for them.
0:40:54 > 0:40:59But maybe if Stephanie goes to that hospital, she'll get help.
0:40:59 > 0:41:03You're right. I'm being silly.
0:41:03 > 0:41:10You've got a 15-year-old you can't handle? Lock her up in a mental institution(!)
0:41:10 > 0:41:14See what happens. What a good idea(!)
0:41:14 > 0:41:22- Sarcasm is not my favourite thing. - Then I'm not your favourite person. - What's going on with you?
0:41:22 > 0:41:26Why does something always have to be going on?
0:41:26 > 0:41:32Christine, will you say ONE thing about what you feel?
0:41:32 > 0:41:35- Feel about what?- You and Stephanie.
0:41:37 > 0:41:44Stephanie is out of the picture. You heard her parents. Lucero walks. End of story.
0:41:45 > 0:41:51- I see. "I don't want to talk about it." - Let's get a couch in here(!)
0:41:51 > 0:41:58For me. One thing. Try "I care about what happens to Stephanie."
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Try it.
0:42:03 > 0:42:08- I CARE about what happens to Stephanie.- And?
0:42:10 > 0:42:12She's not a loser, Mary Beth.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Do you believe that?
0:42:16 > 0:42:21I wouldn't nominate her for Miss Teen America.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25She's got a black belt in mouth karate and she's arrogant.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30But there's...there's more there.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32What else?
0:42:32 > 0:42:37Her brains aren't fried. She's got fight!
0:42:37 > 0:42:42Even with a pimp like Lucero pushing drugs on her,
0:42:42 > 0:42:44she's not going for it.
0:42:44 > 0:42:50- I think that says something about her character.- Not much.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53- Look...- I'm sorry.
0:42:53 > 0:42:58OK, so she took up hooking. That's the bad news, but...
0:42:58 > 0:43:03I think she'd like to have some control over her life!
0:43:03 > 0:43:09I really think there's a kid there that's reachable. I believe that.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12And you're the one to do that?
0:43:12 > 0:43:18There was a moment yesterday... when she almost cracked.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24And if...I'd said something,
0:43:24 > 0:43:28or held out my hand, it could have happened.
0:43:28 > 0:43:31But I didn't, because I was angry!
0:43:35 > 0:43:39Her doctor's report is from a GP, not a psychiatrist!
0:43:41 > 0:43:43I'm going to fight it.
0:43:43 > 0:43:48- She's a minor.- She has rights!
0:43:48 > 0:43:50We can get a good attorney to help.
0:43:51 > 0:43:54You know a good attorney?
0:43:58 > 0:44:00OK. You know a good dentist?
0:44:17 > 0:44:18What did you say?
0:44:18 > 0:44:23I said "Hello, David. This is Christine Cagney."
0:44:23 > 0:44:30- We can have Stephanie declared an emancipated minor.- IF she agrees to go to the halfway house.
0:44:30 > 0:44:37- And IF she testifies against Lucero, I have to convince her. - I have faith, Christine.
0:44:37 > 0:44:43- If she doesn't co-operate, I'll waste the little creep.- Christine...
0:44:43 > 0:44:46- I'll convince her.- I believe you.
0:44:46 > 0:44:51- No-one's as tough as that kid thinks she is.- Except for you.
0:44:59 > 0:45:02My name is Christine.
