03:39i really don't have the time
03:40studies have shown a person can have a fetish over a human attribute

03:54punctuality
03:56wisdom
03:58compassion

05:23which is what he has to do
05:23i hope that i've been a tough game
05:42Good morning, Harris.
05:47I know that coat.
05:49You got one like it?
05:50Got one like...
05:52Oh, that's a good one.
05:58Got one like it.
06:03Reporting for duty as ordered, sir.
06:06Good morning, Leavitt.
06:08Oh, didn't I say that?
06:10Is there something wrong?
06:11Regarding what?
06:13Yours, your entire demeanor, your...
06:16You mean the lack of gung-ho-ness?
06:20Yes.
06:22I feel it's appropriate, sir.
06:23I mean, it's not like anything is going to come from this temporary assignment.
06:29I see.
06:31It's just accepting the fact that these little jaunts up here to the world of plain clothes
06:35are about as transient as life itself.
06:41I love it.
06:42That's almost existential.
06:44Should I apologize for that, sir?
06:45No, no, no.
06:46Just philosophy.
06:49Oh.
06:49Maybe I picked it up from Dietrich.
06:50Hey, babe.
06:53Uh, why don't you work with Sergeant Harris on his case?
06:58Fascinating case.
07:00Thanks, Barron.
07:02Again.
07:04I, uh...
07:05I know you're not thrilled working with me.
07:08You never are.
07:09But I've accepted that.
07:18You, uh...
07:19You need more of those?
07:22Uh, sex offenders.
07:24I know right where they are.
07:25I'll get them.
07:26I don't care.
07:32Okay, that's where we're going.
07:33In here.
07:36What do we got here?
07:37Old Indian.
07:39What's the charge?
07:41Trespassing?
07:42Disturbing the peace?
07:43Not Barron?
07:44This is George Tenfingers.
07:46He's an Indian.
07:48Dietrich just told me.
07:51This is Captain Miller.
07:53My chief.
07:56What are you doing, Mr. Tenfingers?
07:59They're all there.
08:01Oh.
08:03Uh, what's...
08:04What's the story?
08:05Oh, well, uh, the park department, uh, caught him, uh, in a restricted area.
08:10He was camped out in this flower bed under a tree.
08:12He was, uh, uh, chanting and, uh, you know, burning things.
08:16Some sort of ceremony.
08:18Mr. Tenfingers says he wants to die.
08:20What?
08:21That's why he went to the park.
08:24It's a good place to die.
08:28Parks department's gonna press charges?
08:30For the time being.
08:32All right, Roach, I'll take a statement.
08:34Follow me.
08:40There you go.
08:42All those?
08:43It's a sick city, ma'am.
08:45And a big one.
08:47You sound bitter.
08:49You only go around once in this life,
08:51and there's just not enough gusto for everybody.
08:56That man has a poor outlook.
08:59Ah, visibility's bad down there.
09:05Where do you live?
09:07Where you do.
09:09At the center of the universe.
09:12It's an Indian belief that the center of the universe for anybody is wherever they are at the time.
09:18Oh, yeah?
09:19Yeah.
09:21Unless you're in Jersey.
09:25It's a little white man's humor.
09:29It's just something else we owe you an apology for.
09:34I just got off the phone with the parks department.
09:36They've decided to drop all charges.
09:38You mean I can go?
09:40Uh, no.
09:43Barna, this guy, he's got no home.
09:45He's got no money.
09:46He told me he hasn't eaten for four days.
09:52Haven't eaten in four days, Mr. Tenfingers?
09:55It helps me to communicate with the spirit of the wolf.
09:59Well, sure.
09:59If you starve yourself out of your skull, you can talk to all your little friends in the forest.
10:03Not for sure.
10:04Barna, guy's making himself sick.
10:07The wolf will not let me be sick.
10:10He's preparing me for death.
10:12Well, he's not going to let you die here.
10:16I prefer not to.
10:21Mail call.
10:23Morning, everybody.
10:24Not much anyway.
10:25Couple items for Harris.
10:27One piece for Wojo.
10:29And nothing for the other guys.
10:31Fine.
10:32Or the Indian.
10:33Uh, thank you, Mr. Kelly.
10:35Uh, old captain, here are your manpower reports.
10:38Fine, fine.
10:39I, uh, also took the liberty of working up the quarterly strength figures and gave you
10:44your year-end projection.
10:48Excellent.
10:49Keep it up.
10:51I'll try, sir.
11:03Yeah.
11:05Uh, the, the, uh, the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
11:09They're sending someone over.
11:10So, so, can I hold the old guy until I get here?
11:12Sure.
11:13Fine.
11:14I didn't know they had an office in New York City.
11:19Well, uh, uh, I called Washington.
11:26And they're sending somebody up just for this?
11:28You think they'll be all involved with larger issues, reservations, land claims, that sort
11:33of stuff.
11:35I, I told him there might be some sort of, uh, treaty involved.
11:42Pardon?
11:43Yeah.
11:44Uh, uh, Miss Dubois just, uh, picked out a suspect.
11:48It's one Horace Chandler.
11:50So, um, I'll take Levin to go pick him up.
11:52Fine.
11:54What the hell is that?
11:56What's going on?
11:56Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
11:59His eyes were closed.
12:00He didn't seem to be breathing.
12:01I thought he was dead.
12:02You all right, Mr. Tenfingers?
12:05Yes.
12:07I was with the wolf.
12:10He took me to the place where I'm going.
12:14It was beautiful.
12:17I thought I told you not to get out of that chair.
12:34Uh, I could get you a donut.
12:40Listen, I'm, I'm, uh, I'm sorry about yelling at me.
12:46I didn't, I didn't mean nothing by it.
12:49When you speak, there's fire in your eyes and thunder in your voice.
12:55Yeah, I, I, uh, I get thundery a lot.
13:01I was burned with the same fire.
13:04It's not like you're burned out now, you know?
13:06You, you look in pretty good shape to me.
13:09It is time to go, says the wolf.
13:14It's time to go, says the wolf.
13:15Mr. Tenfingers is up.
13:23Do you, do you, do you actually see this wolf?
13:30He came back yesterday.
13:33I had only seen him once before that.
13:37And I found him in the woods.
13:40He had run into the white man's trap.
13:45It was a lesson for both of us.
13:51Oh, Joe.
13:52Oh, just a minute.
13:56Uh, what happened?
13:58I let him go.
14:03And in return, he showed me the right path for the rest of my life.
14:12That is why I must follow him now.
14:17Oh, Joe.
14:20Uh, excuse me.
14:27Yeah.
14:28Anything from the Bureau of Indian Affairs yet?
14:30Uh, not yet.
14:31Any, uh, contingency plans?
14:35Like what?
14:37Well, like, uh, social agencies, the men's shelters, Salvation Armies.
14:42Let's just walk right out of there.
14:45Well, then, the hospital, the Bellevue.
14:47Well, uh, well, when, uh, Bureau of Indian Affairs guy gets here, he'll, he'll just, uh...
14:51He'll what?
14:52And what if he doesn't?
14:57Right this way.
14:59That's him.
14:59That's the grubby man.
15:02Platform.
15:04Single strap in the back.
15:05Open toed.
15:08This is our thief.
15:10That's him, Barney.
15:11Oh, please be careful with that bag.
15:13You'll crinkle my patents.
15:14Excuse me.
15:15Excuse me.
15:17Quite a collection.
15:18Yeah.
15:19Pumps, platforms, slippers.
15:22What?
15:23No wedgies.
15:24Wedgies?
15:26Not this fall.
15:28You're a very sick man, mister.
15:30Uh, mister.
15:31Oh, I'm sorry.
15:32I had to say that.
15:34Hey, hey, don't feel bad.
15:35I know what I am, and, and it's all right.
15:38I've accepted it.
15:39I can live with it.
15:41I am comfortable.
15:48You, uh, want me to check the ship movements to Fantasy Island?
15:53Just take a statement.
15:54Miss, uh, Miss Dubois, would you step this way, please?
15:56Yes.
15:57Come on, Mr. Chandler.
15:58Hey.
16:01May I speak privately with you, sir?
16:04Certainly.
16:04Just, uh...
16:12May I help you?
16:13I'm Philip Owens, Bureau of Indian Affairs.
16:15Oh, you must be here to see Wojo.
16:17Wojo?
16:18Wojo.
16:19Chippewa?
16:20Polish.
16:24I don't understand, Levitt.
16:26Your, your, your work in uniform has always been very good.
16:29But not excellent, sir.
16:32How big are you, bud?
16:32The word excellent, sir.
16:34I don't believe I ever heard it in conjunction with my name.
16:39Levitt, I...
16:42Zatelli.
16:43He does excellent work, or so I've heard.
16:50Levitt, you two have done some very excellent work.
16:57You don't have to, sir.
16:58Levitt, I, I wouldn't lie for someone's benefit.
17:01Thank you, sir.
17:02I believe I needed that.
17:06Yeah, I guess we can all use a pat on the rump every once in a while.
17:10The compliment was enough, sir.
17:12But thanks anyway.
17:16I was led to believe that there were questions of treaty involved.
17:20Well, there are.
17:22What?
17:24I don't know.
17:26You're the expert.
17:28You realize the kind of responsibilities that I have?
17:32I deal with entire Indian nations, not people.
17:40No, you don't pull that 200 years of guilt stuff on me.
17:44I have worked too hard for you people.
17:47Collectively, not individually.
17:52Because I don't have the time.
17:55Thank God I've got the Arapahos at three.
18:01Barn, this is Mr. Owens from the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
18:04First, this is Captain Miller.
18:06How do you do, Mr. Owens?
18:07I'm late.
18:08Nice to meet you, too.
18:10Captain, I was brought down here in false pretenses.
18:12Now, I don't know if you people at the municipal level...
18:15Mr. Owens, would you step in my office a moment?
18:17All right, but just for a minute.
18:21Married.
18:22Divorced.
18:24Sorry.
18:25Hey, listen, it was the best thing that could have happened.
18:28She was always on my back, yelling at me, screaming.
18:32She had the temperament of a bull.
18:34Next of kin?
18:36None.
18:38And the feet of a brontosaurus.
18:43Okay, Mr. Chandler, come on.
18:45We're going to have to go downstairs to pick up some pictures and prints.
18:47Come on.
18:48Floor shines?
18:50Gucci.
18:52I had a hunch.
18:54I just resent the fact that I was lied to.
18:57Well, lied.
18:59He told me there was questions of treaty involved.
19:01Well, perhaps Sergeant Wojohowicz was just confused with regard to the legalities of the situation.
19:11Yeah.
19:12I mean, uh, that's right.
19:15I was confused.
19:18I've never heard that said with such pride before.
19:21Mr. Owens.
19:23Does not the Bureau have some facilities, a hospital, a clinic?
19:27On the reservation, yes.
19:29But out here, he's just like anyone else with that kind of problem.
19:31Now, what do you do with those people?
19:33We ship them to Bellevue.
19:35Well, he is entitled to that same privilege.
19:39That's it, ma'am.
19:40You're free to go.
19:41Oh, thank you very much.
19:45Well, I guess I'll be trotting along.
19:49Ma'am, your shoes.
19:51Mm-hmm.
19:52Uh, yes, what about them?
19:53I'm afraid they'll have to stay here.
19:56Oh, you're joking.
19:58Evidence, ma'am.
19:59You'll be able to pick them up in a couple of weeks.
20:02A couple of weeks?
20:04No, I don't have any other shoes with me.
20:07Regulations, ma'am.
20:08I'm sorry.
20:11Oh.
20:13Officially, I can only apologize for the inconvenience.
20:20The unofficial options are still open.
20:26Captain, I'm sincerely sorry.
20:28There isn't more I could have done.
20:30I'm sure you are.
20:31There just aren't enough hours in the day to do everything that I want to for those people.
20:35I can appreciate that.
20:36With budget cuts, government rollbacks, political pressure, well, you know how it is.
20:41Thank you, Mr. Owens.
20:43Yes.
20:43You're welcome.
20:45Mr. Owens.
21:01Sir, uh, may I drive Mr. Bois home?
21:08She's without her shoes.
21:09It's cold.
21:10Sure, sure.
21:13Mr. Bois.
21:14Well, thank you.
21:15That's very considerate.
21:17You know, we're not required to do this, you understand.
21:19Hmm.
21:20But, uh, this one's on me.
21:23Oh.
21:25Mr. Bois.
21:33Would you?
21:37Oh, uh, you're right.
21:43You gotta go with me now, Mr. Tenfingers.
21:55Where are we going, Warn Joe?
21:57Oh, well, uh, we're gonna go to some place where they're gonna help you.
22:04Uh, it's, uh, a hospital.
22:11It's a nice place.
22:13I mean, they're gonna take real good care of you.
22:18It's for your own damn good.
22:40Um, Dietrich, you want to fire on that?
22:47Hey, Warn Joe?
22:49Hey, Warn.
22:52Everything all right?
22:53Oh, yeah, sure.
22:56Uh, I took him back to the park.
22:58What?
23:00Yeah, he wanted to go, so I took him.
23:04Oh, Joe, how could you do that?
23:06He's dead, Warn.
23:09I, uh, I stayed with him a while, and, uh, and we talked.
23:17And then we just sat.
23:21And he died.
23:24Just like that?
23:27Made me feel good, Warn.
23:30What, Joe?
23:31Uh, this isn't a question of right and wrong.
23:35This, uh, it's what he wanted.
23:40I mean, I don't mean like he, he wanted to die, you know?
23:43He wanted, uh,
23:48wanted to be in the park.
23:52Uh, Warn, I'd like to take off for a while, all right?
23:56Uh, yeah, sure.
24:07Manual doesn't cover something like this.
24:11Sir, may I say I'm personally proud of what you just did?
24:15Most commanders would have left their man hanging out there to dry, but not you.
24:19And I want you to know, even though it's not my place to say so,
24:22you're doing one hell of a job.
24:24Thank you, thank you.
24:25Thank you, thank you.
24:55Thank you, thank you.
