[ both growling ] [ barking ]

very refined sense of humor we got around this place. sit! i was thinking of... mrs. gardner, i find it hard to understand how a department short of funds can spend precious dollars on ambience. ah, never underrate ambience, sergeant, particularly in the work environment. this is not a community center. this is a -- ha ha ha. it certainly isn't, which is all the more reason to humanize it, sergeant. y stores at the same time. i know, i know. look, set up a schedule. do the best we can. frank, a word with you if i may. uh, please, phil, not now. henry? yeah, frank? what's up? downtown. uh, listen i got to go. no, tell her he's just a puppy. yeah, no, no, he's college material. take my word for it, and the cutest little thing -- [ dog barking viciously ] you will excuse me, won't you, grace? whatever that is in there, get rid of it.

henry... good collar, mick. one out of two ain't good enough, captain. i have a hunch you'll correct that. any connection to the 11 others? no, not much. maybe interrogation will turn something, like the name of his running mate. you mirandized him, didn't you? we don't want to violate any laws. captain. i mean it, mick. no mistakes. i don't want to lose this animal in court. excuse me, uh... i'm having stress. i want to call my doctor. i'm getting therapy. [ growls ] okay. i'm on my way. sirs?

what happens if the president can't make it

see that as your concern. your concern is his safety, should he come. for a press secretary, you've got a short memory, mr. parker. if the president doesn't show, you'll be gone, and i'll be stuck with the consequences of 10,000 unmet expectations. what troubles me here, captain, is your perception of the community up there. you make it sound like a loose collection of banana republics. in a sense, that's right. well, then maybe we should be considering another community in another city. hill street's exactly what the president's looking for, mr. parker. believe me. it's really disgusting up there. you'll get some incredibly effective footage. if you can't deal with it, frank, i'll put someone on it who can. commander. mr. parker. captain furillo is the only police officer up there who's respected by everyone, including the youth gangs.

tell them the president's coming, and then take it from there. we can do that easily, frank -- captain. captain? we'll do what we can. we'll do our best. and i hear your best is mighty good, sir. belly up. m sorry. god, am i sorry. listen, i couldn't help it. i got this anxiety syndrome around authority. i thought i had a handle on it, but between commander swanson and this parker guy, god, he's got cold eyes. listen, frank, i can understand it if you can't forgive me. come on, henry. i forgive you. no, really. i mean it. don't fold on me now. i need you to go back and set up that summit.

ey wanted to hear. see if you can get them all in for, say, 4:00. i got a lunch date i'm already late for. i'll be back right after. i think the bone might -- oh, i'm sure the bone is a terrific color for this area. it'll go with the occasional bloodstain. all right, sergeant. if you have your little heart set on waging war, you've got it, baby. hey, that was a good collar, you guys. get an assist each. this entire area is wasted space. this entire area is ridiculous. hey, look! bobby's back. hey, bobby! [ cheers, whistles, and applause ] hey. hey, hill -- yeah, we heard about him. he was partnered with renko, wasn't he? well, he was sleepwalking is what i heard. well, i wouldn't be so sure what you heard, flanders. you know, you guys are new up here, so let's don't get reckless with our mouths.

i prayed to die. [ whistling ] occupied. occupied. now you listen to me. the first thing i asked when i came out of it was, "is bobby still alive?" and then they told me yes, and then i figured okay, about a month from now, we'll be back in business, but you didn't call me. why? well, i figured you blamed me for us getting shot. man, cut the crap. i figured if i hadn't lost it on the street like that, we wouldn't have had to go into that building. , renko. it just happened! i never blamed you, man. then why the hell didn't you call? oh, man, i don't know. i guess i just figured things couldn't go back to the way they were. can they? i don't know. something's different.

t. i still got to get past being scared. well, i'm not scared of anything or anybody, my friend. people have always been scared of me. lying in that hospital bed, i thought, god may give me a body like a b-52, but he also gave me a brain. now we don't need to prove we can go out there again, bobby. that's where it's at for both of us. if we show we got something between our ears, we don't have to be sniper meat.

're moving. out of this place? got no license, no registration. you got a driver's license? how do you expect me to read this, man? this your address here? that's my old place. i didn't have time to change the address. so what we got here is you're moving a bunch of stuff you can't prove is yours from a place that may or may not be your legal residence in a vehicle that he can't prove is his. [ yelling in spanish ] maybe we ought to just let this go, huh? we can't do that, man. they're in violation. hey, it's minor stuff, man. these guys are okay. we leave now, we look like chickens. i can live with that, man. i can't. come on.

[ all shouting ] if everybody will just calm down, listen to other people's points of view... shut up! let me take a whack at this, cap. not now. everyone! all i'm asking is your cooperation for the two short hours of the president's visit. two hours, man. if you can't give me two hours of coolness, the president's going to think you've got no control over your people, and he won't deal with anybody who's got no control. why should he? where's the percentage in it? hey, what's my percentage, furillo?

i'd like to address that remark, captain. hold it, parker. no percentages. the only deal is a fair shake from this precinct. for two years we've played straight pool with you. no dirty busts, no railroading, no back room games. nobody wants to go back to the way it was. mr. furillo, sir, can i ask you a question? go ahead. thanks. hold that. from, let's say, blood turf to shamrock turf. how's he going to do that? well, okay, the prez is planning a walking tour, son, so he'll probably walk. i guess this guy's probably a comedian, too. we got no treaty with them. no way he's going to get from their turf to our turf. it's impossible. we got no treaty.

[ bawking ] you had to get into it, didn't you? i warned you, parker.

yo, furillo. you're really learning the business well, frankie. hey, mr. g-man, about those jobs and social programs, diablo don't need that garb-age. what we do need is a picture of the dude with his arms around my mother's shoulder. she's got cancer really bad. if his mother gets a picture with the president, they're all going to want pictures, and if they don't have mothers, there'll be girlfriends and cousins. i'm sorry, man, and i'm sorry about your mother. i didn't know.

what the hell are you but just another vicious street gang? um...let's accede to the captain's wishes on this one, huh? shall we? i thought maybe i could see you tonight. not tonight, frank. i've got a ton of homework. i'm in appeals court in the morning at 8:00 a.m. i'm sorry about today. so am i. no. no, i'm not. look, uh...frank, the longer i see you,
