in nam, we called this a situational interdiction -- the mugger completes his raid and then heads for his sanctuary in the park, where our stepped-up perimeter patrols intercept along these borders here, which the felon needs cross to safety. and so, with your help, sectors "b" and "c," peoeoe, van buren park is won back from the boonies and transformed into a demilitarized zone where the peace-loving folk of our precinct can smoke their dope and transmit their venereal disease in relative safety. [ laughter ] to which further regard item 10 memo... it worked with ho chi minh. why not the hill? ...from division commander swawaon. andrew? sir? something the whole class can enjoy? oh, no, sir, i was just trying to recollect. i thought we lost that war.

uld ever figure out this big coincidence, huh?! that's a real fine tribute to my intelligence! let's go over the circumstances of each arrest. there could be a common thread. yeah, they're hummers. if they're hummers, it's because your fathead division memo about warrant executions got a listen-to! that's true, gresham. last week, we were trying to build the body counts. on the other hand, norm.-- et tu, captain? that it? norman, answer the coincidence.. i'll answer it. i'll take care of it. i'm continuing my investigation. i said i'll takekeare of it! am i excused? captain, counselor weller for officer russo's suspect, cappelito. thanks, howard. come on in. would you excuse us, please? yes, sir. how are you? captain, this could sound arrogant, but i don't intend it to. could i do you a favor? and in exchange, you owe my client, cappelito, one somewhere down the line. cumstances.

ich, i take it, has to do with the favor he's going to do us. look, she e ept with him, captain. who slept with whom? your cop russo slept with sonon. you have proof of this? sonny's a creep, but in this area, he doesn't lie. so you're asking that the case be dismissed? do it now. save your young g p. save the department the embarrassment. and this is the favor, captain -- i'm giving you a day to do o e right thing yourself. mr. weller, it must be that you don't practice up here very often, cy with which sexual misconduct charges brought against our officers are used as components of criminal defenses. please don't be coming up here doing me any favors on your client's word. look, she's probably a good cop. but girls tend to be girls, right? and lawyers tend to be lawyers. so, when was it exactly

shanks. shanks. between friday and tuesday. i was away for a few days. ray, amigo! stand firm, howard. this, too, shall pass. gresham: sergeant, i'm going to need access to your off-recoco payment files. there's an informer in all of buntz's arrests. where were you? a guy named thurston. you'll have to have captain-or-above authorization. i asked you where you were on those days, mr. shanks. i was, uh, out. do they treat you this way? do they treat any anglo captain? ray, i hardly qualify as an anglo captain. i can go to the hispanic press. and, frank, i am disappointed in you. that's unwarranted. there's no harm in talking things out. don't play naive wititme. daniels must think i'm his toy! what he thinks is that you have some problems over there. race problems?! which precinct has none?

r precinct, they're above and they're out there. is this your belief, frank? were you really just an innocent messenger, or did you set me up? i didn't set you up! frankly, until this morning, i didn't have a clue about any of this. on the other hand..... i found that in your coffee area. there was a stack of them. look... whether daniels was clumsy, or even whether he treated you fairly, that's a side issue that's what a captain addresses first. which i am. it may be that you need some help, ray. nobody likes that. everybody likes to think he can hang tough. would you help me? i don't have the familiarity that stan williams has. my help to you is to ask you to sit down with him. i won't give up my captaincy.

comes around here looking for me, tell him i went looking up to his place, all right? woman: will do, lieutenant. so, what did you do after writers' school? well, i substitute taught a couple days a week, and then i was a bartender for a while. but you were writing all this time? the habit. there you go. of books what happened with it? and got a lot of letters from publishers. and you know, i would sit up there in my room, thinking i'm doing this great thing -- that i was going to end war, make people cry. and then i would get these one-paragraph computer notes

and i would... feel so ashamed. "what kind of a jerk am i, anyway?" but the guy who wrote you this time -- this wasn't a form letter. no, he said, uh, he said to come in, so i hopped a 'hound. sounds good. yeah, it's great. well, i mean, who knows? you know...you said you fefe ashamed. well, not all the time. yeah, but you shouldn't. stuck at it, took all the punishment. something to be proud of. there were all those times, remember, when we were on the clint? we both said we were gonna be writers. but for some reason, you did it and i didn't. and i admire the hell out of that. just be careful what you wish for.

man: you're dead, man! you're dead meat! where's my tape machine, huh?! don't move?! put down the iron! put it down! what are you doing here, shanks?! didn't i just bust you, ace?! aren't you just out of the cage?! yeah, your damned snitch robbed me! he rats me out, then he breaks into my place! you're the police?! man, i can't believe it! ntz! don't make me fall down laughing with a heart attack, sid! get up against the wall. l right, turn around. all right, now, ace, let's just say, for the hell of it, that we forget about this little break-in with the tire iron, which, with your parole, that's e eugh to put you back upstate for a deuce. [ sighs ] but if i hear r e peep out of anybody about sid's my snitch -- and i don't care how it gets out -- i'm telling people you're my snitch. are we understood here?

70 bucks?! buy one hot. excuse me. pardon me, sir. are you arresting this man? he promisedd he wouldn't do it again. huh? what about this meeting in the rainbow room -- new years eve? mrmrcrespos indicates he was in san juan. how could he have been in san juan? he told six federal agents he was with defendant molina. i've got the tickets, irwin. i showed you the stubs. what you're telling me is e dawning on you. that your client is a pathological liar. all i know is i have got eight pounds of interrogation taken over four months' time, and there is about 12 pages i can use here. what's going on out here? no! hey! ugh! what are you doing?! where are you going, pal?

l the truth, then. lawyer asks, i say, "yeah. sure i slept with him. why not? so what? what was i supposed to do?" did you ever have a case go to jury trial? no. then you don't have any real idea how a lawyer can put a policeman on trial instead of his client. not exactly. do you have any notion of what a jury would think of a cop who slept with the defendant? maybe they'd think, "at leasasshe's honest." for openers, they think she's a cop who went against policy.
