00:02Hey, I'm not lying to you. Would you just give me a break?
00:05Sit on it.
00:06I wasn't robbing no liquor store. I just went in for a six-pack of beer.
00:10Yeah, and you just happened to empty the cash drawer.
00:12I was lying there. I'm only human.
00:16You don't know these boys. They're hooligans.
00:20Last week, they took a magic marker and wrote naughty words all over Ms. Wiggins' cat.
00:27I can't understand it.
00:29Try holding up to a mirror.
00:34You've got a wonderful sense of humor.
00:37I need it. I'm a cynic.
00:39Me too.
00:42We're very much alike.
00:45Get out of here.
00:49This is Doris Whittaker.
00:51Ms. Whittaker, I'm Captain Miller.
00:52Oh, a pleasure to meet you.
00:55Ms. Whittaker, what seems to be the problem?
00:57Oh, Ms. Whittaker was going down to get her mail.
00:59She saw some kids breaking into a mailbox.
01:01Can you imagine that kind of invasion of privacy?
01:05God only knows what they could be reading now.
01:08Hey.
01:10Uh, Dietrich, why don't we have Ms. Whittaker check some of the juvenile books?
01:14Maybe you can make an identification.
01:16Would you have a seat at Sergeant Dietrich's desk?
01:20Ms. Whittaker, is there something else?
01:22Is that your breakfast?
01:25Uh, kind of works out that way.
01:28Coffee and a donut?
01:32Well, I, um, it's all that I need.
01:35It's just to get me started.
01:36I don't like to eat too heavy.
01:38Ms. Whittaker, why don't you have to see me?
01:44And he's a captain?
01:46Nutritionally, he's still a child.
01:52Oh, uh, you didn't call me back.
01:55What?
01:56I called you last night.
01:58Oh.
02:00Well, I, uh, I just want to let you know why I was going to be a little late this
02:03morning.
02:05Oh.
02:07Bar?
02:08Uh, it was because I was at someone else's apartment up in Boston.
02:12Okay, well, John.
02:15Well, I gave Liz the number.
02:16I didn't get the message.
02:18Well, I, I guess Liz forgot.
02:25Well, Joe, and anyone else who may have to get in touch with me after hours, I'll be at the,
02:30uh, Greenwich Hotel.
02:33It's room, uh, 320, I think.
02:37Hotel?
02:38Getting your apartment, uh, repainted?
02:40No!
02:40Oh, I, I don't need it, though.
02:44I, I've been over.
02:50Hotel Precinct, Yamana.
02:53Roulette wheels?
02:57Crap tables.
02:59You running any ponies there?
03:03Too bad.
03:05Good morning.
03:06Good morning.
03:08Uh, we'll take care of it, ma'am.
03:11Yeah, yeah, yes, yeah, yes.
03:12I, uh, I agree.
03:13Hey, uh, gambling is sinful.
03:17Troublemaker.
03:20Good morning.
03:21Don't bother hanging up your coat.
03:25Laid off?
03:27No, we got a call.
03:28A biggie.
03:29Oh, yeah, sure.
03:31Oh, by the way, Harris, uh, do you happen to have any extra cash you're gonna lend me?
03:36No.
03:37Thank God.
03:48Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
04:02yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
04:02yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
04:02yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
04:02yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
04:02yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
04:19Oh, my God.
04:49How are we doing?
04:51They're all so young.
04:55Well, that's a common trait among juveniles.
05:00That's my sense of humor, remember? The one you liked?
05:08Keep looking. Maybe we'll get lucky.
05:12It's very hard.
05:14Yeah, well, when you've seen one kid, you've seen them all.
05:21The truth is, I'm such a target. I live alone.
05:27Mm-hmm.
05:30You? You, too?
05:33Yeah.
05:38I'd hate to think of what someone would do if he got his hands on me.
05:44Probably just take your money.
05:46Oh.
05:49No offense.
05:54You can't do that. You can't put a padlock on the house of worship.
05:57You wanted to step along over there, please?
05:59You see, there's a higher authority than you, all right?
06:02Uh, yeah, right here. This is Captain Miller.
06:05Barney, this is Rabbi Joseph Greenblatt.
06:07Captain Miller?
06:08Rabbi.
06:10This is our gambling entrepreneur?
06:11Uh, yes. He operates the Beth Isaiah Temple and Casino.
06:15For charity.
06:17Quite a set-up, Mark.
06:18Crap tables, blackjack, roulette, valet parking.
06:22I take it you're reformed?
06:24Conservative.
06:24Conservative.
06:25But I try to stay flexible.
06:30Okay, fellas.
06:31Bring it right on in.
06:33Okay.
06:34Be careful.
06:34That's rented.
06:36Put it on my desk, huh?
06:39It'll be safer there.
06:42Slot machine, too?
06:44They've still got ten more back at the temple.
06:46Listen, I couldn't have used 50, but they're tough to get these days.
06:49You know? Atlantic City.
06:51You can confiscate all this stuff.
06:53Cards, dice, chips.
06:59Take it all.
07:00I'll try not to mix it with my stuff.
07:03Captain, I have a permit from the city.
07:07Oh, uh, Barney, he's referring to this.
07:13Permission to hold a Las Vegas night is to raise funds for the school, for the charities.
07:19Rabbi, this permit is for one night only.
07:22Technically, technically correct.
07:25And that one night was four months ago.
07:28It was going so beautifully, I didn't have the heart to stop it.
07:33Well, surely you must have realized you were doing something illegal.
07:37I had a suspicion.
07:39But listen, the money's going for good causes.
07:42It's going for the children's school.
07:43It's going for the senior citizen's program.
07:45Rabbi, I'm afraid I'm going to have to bring this to the attention of the district attorney's office.
07:50Oy.
07:52Sorry for the inconvenience.
07:55Listen, if you must, you must.
07:58You're very understanding.
08:00It's my job.
08:02You, uh, want to have a seat over here, please?
08:08Captain, no luck with the mug book.
08:11Miss Whittaker, why don't you go on home then, and, uh, if anything turns up, we'll contact you.
08:15I, I understand.
08:20You're free to go.
08:25I guess it's just that I, I'm a little afraid to go back there alone.
08:30Well, if you'd rather, I'll have an office to take you home.
08:33Oh.
08:34If Sergeant Dietrich isn't too busy.
08:40Uh, Sergeant Dietrich?
08:42No, I don't mind.
08:42Let's go.
08:43David Swittaker?
08:50You know, you have lovely hands.
08:54I know.
08:56Got you again.
09:05In here.
09:06What about lunch?
09:08Get in a cage, Ruben.
09:10Ruben?
09:14That's Jewish.
09:15So?
09:16So, uh, what are you doing here?
09:18It was entrapment, okay?
09:20He robbed a liquor store.
09:22A Jewish boy?
09:24I don't believe this.
09:25So who are you anyway?
09:27So I'm a rabbi.
09:30What is this?
09:30I asked for a lawyer.
09:34Did you kick back?
09:35Uh, yeah.
09:35He went downstairs for something.
09:43No, Barney.
09:44Uh, Liz, uh, called a little while ago while you were out.
09:48And she says she'd call back.
09:52What?
09:53Is, uh, Liz back from, uh, vacation?
09:57Um, uh, just a second.
09:59Barney, it's, uh, internal affairs.
10:03Internal affairs?
10:04What the hell are they working?
10:05I don't know.
10:06Captain Miller here.
10:08Barney moved out of his apartment.
10:12Just, just, just give me the exact nature of the charges.
10:17And that's the only information you have.
10:23What do they want?
10:26We'll hear this one.
10:27Seems Miss Whittaker is filing formal charges against Dietrich.
10:32What?
10:33For what?
10:35Lewd and lascivious behavior.
10:37Oh.
10:41Dang it.
10:44Warren.
10:45They've got to be crazy.
10:47Yeah.
10:50Well, we'll, we'll find out what, what's going on.
10:53In the meantime, let's everybody get back to work.
10:56All right.
11:00Uh, Nick, uh, have you finished, uh, tagging Candace?
11:05Hey, Harris.
11:08Hey, Dietrich.
11:09How's it going, Nick?
11:11Fine.
11:12I'm back, huh?
11:13Good.
11:15I'm going to go wash up.
11:19It's a dirty job.
11:35Uh, so she said she was still a little shaken, and, uh, she asked me to stay for a few
11:40minutes.
11:41Until she calmed down.
11:42She asked you?
11:43Yeah.
11:45And she went into another room for a minute.
11:46When she came back out, she had changed into, uh, you know.
11:50Negligacy.
11:50Bathrobe.
11:52Bathrobe?
11:53I guess she wanted her to be enticing, but sensible.
12:00And then?
12:01Then she offered me a drink.
12:04I said I couldn't.
12:05I was on duty, and then she said, uh...
12:08What?
12:08She said I was cute.
12:11Cute?
12:13You don't think so?
12:15And then what happened?
12:17Uh, then I told her how to get back to the precinct.
12:20That's that?
12:21No.
12:22Then her bathrobe fell open.
12:25Oh.
12:26Then off.
12:28Off?
12:28To the floor.
12:31To the floor.
12:32I forgave, uh, gravity.
12:39And then?
12:41Then I left.
12:42Good.
12:43I figured I was the thing to do.
12:45All right, Dietrich, look.
12:49Look.
12:52Try to remember.
12:53Is there anything that you did or said that Miss Whittaker could have, by the wildest stretch
13:00of the imagination, misconstrued as provocative?
13:04Or anything that could, in the broadest sense, be termed lewd or lascivious?
13:14Well?
13:15That's a lot of territory.
13:16Dietrich!
13:18No, I don't think so.
13:23I hope at least you don't rob on the Sabbath.
13:27I usually wait for sundown.
13:33I know.
13:34I know how embarrassing, how disgusting it must be for you.
13:38But you see, we need a positive identification.
13:41I understand.
13:43Lieutenant Scanlon, it's always a pleasure.
13:47You remember me, huh?
13:48Oh, I never forget a twitch.
13:53You mind going and telling Captain Miller I'm here?
13:56Oh, surely.
13:58Barney, Scanlon.
14:04It's nice to see you again.
14:10Is that the officer you named in the complaint?
14:13Yes, it is.
14:18Well, Lieutenant.
14:20Whitaker.
14:21I'm so sorry about all of this.
14:23It's just that I feel I have to do what's right.
14:26Whitaker, why don't you just come over here and relax a while, just have a seat?
14:31Lieutenant, in my office?
14:33You're on the hook for her safety.
14:36I wouldn't worry about it.
14:40Dietrich, why don't you finish that report?
14:42Sure.
14:44Good move.
14:52Hello.
15:01What we have out there is a lonely lady.
15:06An obviously psychologically unbalanced lonely lady who is either lying or who has deluded herself
15:12into believing that something actually happened, and nothing happened.
15:16That's one possibility.
15:18That's the only possibility.
15:20Miller, it has been my experience
15:25that cops have the very same filthy urges as anybody else.
15:32And that maybe, just maybe, your man out there took advantage of an opportunity
15:38to have a little afternoon ding-dong.
15:42Forget it, Scanlon.
15:44We're not talking about taste.
15:47I hate to spoil your fun, Scanlon, but, uh, nothing happened in that apartment.
15:53Absolutely nothing.
15:54How do you know that?
15:56Because I asked my man, and he told me.
15:58And that's it?
16:00That's enough.
16:08It worked twice, right, Miller?
16:11Yeah, in a while.
16:12Well, I mean, you spent time in the back of one of those little paddy wagons.
16:15I mean, along with all the young little snuggies
16:18who would do anything to get a ticket back on the streets.
16:22What's your point?
16:24That it is not inconceivable for a cop, even a good cop,
16:29eventually to take a piece of the action.
16:33I worked twice for 17 years, Miller.
16:37I mean, I had every deviant and every kind of hunger
16:41thrown themselves at me.
16:46And just between you and me,
16:50I didn't always get out of the way.
16:53Do you know what I mean?
16:56I know what you mean.
17:00What about you, Miller?
17:07Never.
17:08Oh, damn it.
17:10I told you.
17:21Is this the detective's room?
17:23Yes, ma'am.
17:26Oh, my God.
17:27That's the general reaction.
17:30What are you doing here?
17:32Nothing.
17:33I just happened to be in the neighborhood.
17:35That was nice.
17:36I'm bailing you out.
17:38Like a common criminal.
17:40I hope you're proud of yourself.
17:42Oh, Ruthie, please.
17:44I'm Mrs. Greenblood.
17:45I have his bail ticket.
17:46I'll have his release form filled out,
17:48and he can go on his way.
17:51I warned you it would end up like this.
17:56Blackjack.
17:57Dice.
17:59Slot machines.
18:01No good ever comes from this.
18:04You've got to apply yourself.
18:15Listen, I want to apologize for this afternoon.
18:19Oh.
18:20Maybe I gave you the wrong impression.
18:24Well, I was embarrassed.
18:28I'm sorry.
18:31Well, you really didn't do anything.
18:36I was there.
18:38But you didn't do anything.
18:43I know.
18:44I'm sorry.
18:46Sometimes I can be very insensitive.
18:50It's a matter of pride, I suppose.
18:53That's very important to a woman.
18:57I understand.
19:00Listen, it's just, I'm not a very aggressive person.
19:05I can't jump into a relationship very quickly.
19:08Nor do I, usually.
19:11It's possible that the mood, the circumstances this afternoon just wasn't right.
19:18You mean, another time, another place, you might be...
19:26Lewd and lascivious?
19:28Sure.
19:30I appreciate that.
19:37It tears me up to lift a man's shield.
19:40Mm-hmm.
19:41Well, we've got to play to the rules.
19:43Well, Miss Whittaker, you ready now?
19:47We'll go downtown and fill out a formal complaint.
19:49Lieutenant, I've changed my mind.
19:54What do you mean?
19:57I think now I may have misinterpreted Sergeant Dietrich's actions.
20:03I'm now a bit vague on things.
20:06You weren't vague when you called me this afternoon.
20:10I mean, all that grabbing and lurching, all that panting and clucking.
20:14Well, tenant, let's take it easy, huh?
20:18That was one hell of a phone call.
20:22You know, Captain, I have a right to reconsider, don't I?
20:25You most certainly do, Miss Whittaker.
20:27You most certainly do, Miss Whittaker.
20:29What the hell is that?
20:34Well, I've reconsidered.
20:38Okay.
20:41Okay.
20:43I'm ready to see a fellow cop out of the fire.
20:47Anything else we can do for you, Lieutenant?
20:50No, thanks.
20:53Now I'll just mosey on downtown.
20:58Captain, can I drop you someplace?
21:03I've taken up enough of your time.
21:06You bet.
21:12All right, Captain.
21:14Well, maybe in the future we can meet under more pleasant circumstances.
21:18I don't think that's possible.
21:21Well, listen, you know, whatever starts building up inside of you, they want to spill your guts to somebody.
21:28I'm available.
21:29I'll keep that in mind.
21:31Because I still have hopes for you.
21:42Okay, Rabbi, you're all set.
21:44Oh, Barney, Mrs. Greenblatt arranged for the rabbi's bail, so I'm going to let him out.
21:51What about my husband?
21:52What's going to happen to him?
21:54I'm sure they'll take into account the unusual circumstances.
21:58Let's go, Ruben.
21:59Right now?
22:00Yeah, I'm going to take you down to the tomb.
22:02Why don't you give him a little head start, huh?
22:04Uh, we can all walk down together.
22:07I'll remember this.
22:08I promise you.
22:18I'm sorry what I did.
22:21It could have destroyed your career.
22:24Struck up the day.
22:28Goodbye, Sergeant.
22:30See you around.
22:33Take care of yourself.
22:45Goodbye, Captain.
22:47Goodbye, Miss Whitaker.
22:51Something else?
22:53Well, I couldn't ride with that lieutenant because he made me feel very uncomfortable.
23:01Are you saying you need another ride home?
23:10That's all right.
23:12I'll take a cab.
23:28Thanks for everything.
23:29Hey, forget it.
23:31Tell you the truth, I really enjoyed myself today.
23:34Shit's over.
23:36Yeah, so it is.
23:38You doing anything for dinner?
23:41Uh, well, I'm not...
23:43Listen, if you can't make it, I understand, sir.
23:45No.
23:47Sure, why not?
23:48We'll have dinner.
23:49Hey, Nick, what do you say?
23:50You want to join us for dinner?
23:51Uh, no thanks.
23:53They're coming down to pick up all this stuff.
23:55I think I'm going to wait.
23:58Aren't she anxious of you?
23:59Yeah.
24:01Yeah, all right.
24:03Uh, so, uh, what do you want to eat?
24:05No matter to me.
24:07Uh, how about that, uh, what was that, uh, Chinese place around the corner on McDougal?
24:11Can't eat it.
24:1210 minutes she gives me a headache.
24:15All right, uh, how about Italian?
24:17Too starchy.
24:19Where do you want to go?
24:20No matter to me.
24:51All right, uh, what do you want to go?
