yo, eddie. you taking a trip to baltimore?e? the bus is gonna be delayed, like, 10 minutes. look, our r uad caught the call, all right? the ticket lady identified them from our sketch. you better explain yourself, simone. this look like the damn 15th precinct? hey, hey, we got a tip, we moved on it. i don't know what you did in the tunnel all those years, but up here, that's what you're supposed to do. so you got your first grade? the hell with the next man trying to get his. is that the story, simone? i got my first grade from a lot of hard work get your act together, eddie, or you're never gonna be anything on this job. you track k wn the third partner in that con game? oh, no, not yet.

- you did good work on this, diane. - it was james's plan. captain? we need to talk? yeah. on this cop's s ansfer, i need to tell you, i don't think it was your finest hour. why is that? the both of us know the job has an ethical awareness course for this kind of cop and this kind of situation. the sensitivity class isn't going to do it for this guy. don't like black people much to begin with, plus resentful now, from his point of f ew, a black boss loused his life up. is that the kind of cop you nt walking around a neighborhood don't need any extra problems? so, you're concerned i'd be lowering the quality of life in bed-stuy? i'm just pointing out what i know you know already. as bosses, our decisions have consequences outside the rooms we make 'em in. if you wanna discuss the quality of policing of black neighborhoods,

or an accommodation. it's assumed he's got a hidden agenda. look, i came here asking for you to look at using your juice to hurt this guy and remind you that people neither you nor i know are liable to pay the tab. k so you don't have to face what it is you're doing, that's on you. okay, okay.. transfer him to this precinct. transfer him here? with the consequences of the decisions we made here. i think over time, knowing the kind of man you are at heart, might turn out good for szymanski. might be good for you too. i think we've looked enough into my heart and soul. is sending him here acceptable to you?

hey, greg. hey, abby. you have a good shift? yeah, yeah. we shut down one of those "found money" con teams. you just on your way in? 4:00 to 12:00. yeah. you like it there in anticrime? yeah, i do. e? sure, of course. uh, what's the occasion, just a pleasant meal between friends? well, i hoped that it was a pleasant meal that might result in a special occasion. well, that's very mysterious and interesting. well, i-i'm not comfortable being more specific.

sure. have a good shift, abby. night, greg. have a good night. what's going on, andy? [ clears throat ] uh, you think it's possible hat have passed on, making contact with the living? - you mean like ghosts? - yeah, more so by way of your dreams. - i don't know. - [ sighs ] me w wking these robberies, andy jr. being killed in a bar, i can n e rationally how a dream might manifest from that. what happens in the dream?

ah, i don't believe it's possible. i used to dream about my wife quite a bit. yeah? never seemed to have any particular meaning. me cooking meals for her, taking her out on walks and stuff. so, she never came with tips on horses to bet? nothing like that?

we collared those guys stuck you up. is that right? collared 'em on a bus. large vehicle. son! [ chuckles ] i am so relieved. you know who's in the bathroom that i brought with me? who? sylvia and the baby. they're both in the ladies' room. i told her to keep his eyes covered. think i brought 'em to expose theo to liquor? look, i-- i don't wanna fight with you. well, i can't do nothing right. i brought him to meet his brother. think seeing me murdered is gonna make a happy memory? [ gasping ]

i-i loved him, as bad as i am. oh, my poor boy. [ sniffles ]

[ sniffles ]

all clear ahead, captain. the sensors indicate zero register. forward readings, mr. spock. gravimetric readinin- no significant change, zero space density. ahead warp factor 3, mr. sulu. pplies. we'll get across this void in a hurry. void, stardust-- the word conjures up pictures of dunes, oases, mirages... sunlig, palm trees. we're 900 light years from that kind of desert, bones. the precise meaning of the word desert is a waterless, barren wasteland. i fail to understand your romantic nostalgia for such a place. it doesn't surprise me, mpock.
