00:01Tonight, on Wiseguy...
00:03You can't let him do this!
00:05He's in the witness protection program now.
00:07We're buying his silence. He knows I'm an OCB operative. He can't leave me exposed like that.
00:12Why, you son! Get out of there!
00:14Station 2276. We have a breach.
00:17You should have seen the evil gleam in his eye when he was handed the divine right to recreate me,
00:22to reduce me to an elemental and amoebic state, yes?
00:24I've had enough of this.
00:28Please don't do that.
00:30I'm on edge.
01:03I'm on edge.
01:05There's no door here.
01:08I have enough of that.
01:12I can't do that.
01:19I can't do that.
01:21I can't do that.
01:22You guess you're Mr. науч?
01:22You're doing it.
01:26I've been at the disposal of my self-deadation.
01:28I'm on edge.
03:03Now, now, now, now, now.
03:05It's been a tough morning on all of us.
03:13Patrice and Steelgrave.
03:14And your man, Terranova.
03:17Why, they're all my men, Sid.
03:20I got the warrants to prove it.
03:22Look, those men will kill me.
03:25Yeah, I can see that.
03:27Then help me, yes?
03:30Federal witness program.
03:31I want immunity.
03:33Yeah, well, I want eternal life myself, Sid.
03:35But right now, I'm just getting ticked off.
03:37And I guarantee you, me in a bad mood is the surest way to know immunity, no federal witness program,
03:42and no money.
03:43Mahoney's a bunkmate.
03:44Look, I know Terranova's a federal agent, huh?
03:51Look, do you have a superior officer around here?
03:54Oh, excuse me, Sid.
03:57Now, it may not have dawned on you, but your life has taken a nasty turn.
04:02Now, you've got something to sell.
04:03You better dress it up, put it in the window, or I'm going to buy someplace else.
04:06There is no place else.
04:07From a salesman who's not facing capital charges on the murder of Atlantic City Detective Karen Malloy.
04:12Thank you, sir.
04:42There is no problems.
04:43Now, don't cause problems for me.
04:45Well, Agent Terranova, there won't be any problems.
04:47Your secret is safe with me, hmm?
04:50This, uh, cost of living issue is a business matter.
04:54Your input isn't needed.
04:56Without it, we can't sign.
05:02You!
05:03You dropped that pen!
05:05We don't need his testimony.
05:06Mahoney just dropped dead.
05:08I said stop it!
05:10Hey, Mr. Salk!
05:11No, I'll file papers.
05:12This is...
05:12You want a salt?
05:13Oh, I'll give you a salt.
05:15Frank!
05:16Frank!
05:16Don't let him do this!
05:17No, no, no.
05:18Get a hold of yourself, Frank.
05:21We've got a deal.
05:22Deal?
05:23There's nobody left to testify against.
05:25Steelgrave is dead.
05:25Patrice Bagulia?
05:27The only one worth a damn is Mahoney, and now he's dead.
05:30Sid Royce does not have anybody to testify against Edwin, and you're going to give him immunity.
05:37It's too late, Frank.
05:40The deal's done.
05:41Oh, Frank.
05:44Why, you son of a...
05:46Get out of there!
05:47Come on out of there!
05:48Come on out of there!
05:50No, but Frank!
05:50Frank!
05:51No, he's in the witness protection program now.
05:54He's my responsibility.
05:56Why don't you both leave?
05:59You are letting him get away with murder.
06:02His testimony is worthless.
06:04Frank, Frank, we're buying his silence.
06:06He knows I'm an OCB operative.
06:07He can't leave me exposed like that.
06:09I know how much you put into this case.
06:11I control Sid's life now.
06:13I'll do whatever it takes to make him miserable.
06:16Oh, oh, great.
06:18It's just peachy for you, Edwin, and you tell me what I get out of this!
06:23Well, what do you want?
06:24Want to choose the new place he lives?
06:28His new occupation?
06:31You want to give him his new name?
06:48Huh?
06:50Ow!
06:51That's hurting my little toe!
06:52Oh, this is not the right size.
06:55I said size 7.
06:57This is a 7.
06:58It's Miss Mark.
06:59It is not Miss Mark.
07:01Yes, it is.
07:02I'm a size 7.
07:03Madam, you haven't been a size 7 since you were one day old.
07:08Well, I never...
07:08Exactly, madam.
07:10Now, if you want a shoe that fits, I suggest you see a blacksmith.
07:13Ah!
07:14Oh!
07:16That clerk insulted me!
07:17I'll never shop here again!
07:19Please, ma'am.
07:21We'll give you a discount.
07:23You've been working here three years.
07:24The customer's always right, Elvis.
07:27Better shape up.
07:28I don't want to have to put you on report.
07:32Is this shoe on sale?
07:38Well,
08:02Elvis, was that you?
08:06Were you expecting someone else at Xanadu?
08:11I hope we're not having guests. I only purchased enough deep-fried gristle for two.
08:35There they are, Alison.
08:39It's that book again. Now look, we can't keep living in the past. Why don't we just throw that thing
08:44out, yes?
08:50I know. I keep meaning to, but then I... I start looking through it. I'm just capturing myself.
09:03I'm sorry. I'm honestly sorry.
09:07Well, why are you doing the laundry? It's, uh, it's on a Tuesday.
09:10What do you say?
09:11Because I hate to see it piling up.
09:14I have plenty left till the end of the week.
09:16I know.
09:17What else am I supposed to do in this godforsaken place?
09:22If I don't keep up with the laundry and the cleaning, I'll just become addicted to soap operas,
09:27like all the other culturally stagnated women I run into at the post office.
09:33Priscilla!
09:34God, I hate that name.
09:38Priscilla!
09:39Did you see what happened to Felicia and Todd on all my ancestors?
09:44No, I didn't.
09:46Well, you know, Felicia had this affair with Lance, who turned out not to be Todd's brother, but his father.
09:53I just can't stand it, Sid.
10:02Oh.
10:03Sorry.
10:05Elvis.
10:07Well,
10:09we even lost our names.
10:12We still have each other.
10:20And we have breathing house.
10:23Yes.
10:29We need enough not to succumb to the lives led by the rubes that surround us.
10:39Haven't we?
10:56There's not so much wrong with the way they live here.
10:59It's...
11:02It's the lives we live with.
11:04Without friends.
11:06Without any relationships, because we dare not talk about the past.
11:10I don't want to burden you, Sid, but...
11:12I miss it.
11:13I miss my life.
11:15I miss my friends.
11:17I miss my parents.
11:19I can live without the money.
11:21But it's...
11:23It's becoming impossible for me to live without some kind of participation in the community.
11:30I need to belong to something so badly.
11:33Yes, yes.
11:33I know, dear.
11:34But you know how dangerous it is for me to allow you to become a person of the public, such
11:41as it is here.
11:43But I need it.
11:47It's a risk I'm not willing to take.
11:52Am I lying?
11:53You all told me that she...
11:54Did she do this really?
11:55Oh, man.
11:57I tell you, Roseanne, I'll make a deal with you.
11:59I won't do no Roseanne jokes if you keep your pants on at baseball games.
12:15Get some sleep.
12:18Yes, of course.
12:30Get some sleep.
12:31Yes, of course.
12:46Good night, Boo-Boo.
12:50Good night, Noodles.
13:05Allison!
13:17Allison!
13:24Allison!
13:58Allison!
14:02Allison!
14:09Allison!
14:10Oh, my God, Allison!
14:14In a pickup truck!
14:40I'm sorry, I'm so late.
14:43It's impossible to get off the phone when you're talking to bankers.
14:48You know, you couldn't let yourself in.
14:50I hope you haven't been waiting too long.
14:52No, no, just got here.
14:56Oh, these are so sweet.
14:58Here, let me put them down and we can go.
15:03Want to come in?
15:05No, no, I don't want to miss the reservation.
15:09Is Drake here?
15:11Uh, no, he's over with Tommy.
15:17I'm sorry, did you want to stay?
15:19No, no, no, no, it's all right.
15:26What?
15:28You look swell.
15:31Thanks.
15:33Nice car.
15:34Let's take it.
15:37You know, I really shouldn't be driving this.
15:39I'm trying to establish myself with a certain level of clientele and image.
15:44It's so important.
15:46And that old clunker that you gave me didn't project.
15:50Uh-huh.
15:58Anyway, I got a terrific deal.
16:01Actually, it was sort of a barter situation.
16:03I worked it out with the president of the bank.
16:05It's a repo.
16:06I catered his son's bar mitzvah.
16:10Anyway, he really wants me to succeed, which is a good thing,
16:12because I need a loan for half a million dollars to finance a new facility.
16:16So I'm sort of at the point of diminishing returns now, working out of the house.
16:20To really expand, I need a place where I can meet and greet, you know,
16:23sort of show off my wares, plus a real service kitchen in the back.
16:27Right now, I can only cater two parties at once.
16:32What?
16:33Nothing. I'm just very surprised at how well you've done since we separated.
16:43Are we running this late?
16:45Oh, just a little. He said he wouldn't hold the table.
16:48Where are we going?
16:49Champignon.
17:00Hello, Maurice. It's Genevieve.
17:03Sweetheart. How are you?
17:04Wonderful. I'm going to see you tonight.
17:06Wonderful.
17:07The reservation is under McPike.
17:10And we may be a few minutes late.
17:12My pick. My pick.
17:14Move the big table away from the kitchen.
17:16It's not a problem, Genevieve. It's delicious to see you.
17:21Merci, Maurice.
17:25Well, you certainly have everything under control.
17:29Nobody has everything under control.
17:47With Maurice's compliments.
18:05So, that's what I've been doing. What about you?
18:08Me?
18:10Well, honey, I found out a lot of new things since we're separated.
18:15I can broil a mean steak.
18:18Comparative shopping has become a big part of my life.
18:23I'm lonely.
18:26When I'm totally involved in a case, I work 20 hours a day, I drag myself home, I throw myself
18:31into bed.
18:33I'm absorbed in what I'm doing.
18:35I suppose it's pretty much like that when we were together.
18:38But in the down times between assignments on those rainy Sunday afternoons,
18:44it hits me real hard, how lonely I am.
18:48I don't sure miss being married.
18:53I never thought of it as a need.
18:56Just a fact.
19:00But I do miss it.
19:03I'm not trying to pressure you, Jenny.
19:06At least I don't think I am. I hope I'm not.
19:09It's...
19:11It's just a realization.
19:15I don't feel pressured.
19:18I think it's terrific that you're dealing with these feelings.
19:21Dealing with these feelings?
19:23You know, I really don't want to be a yuppie.
19:28I don't think you got a problem there.
19:32Comes back to the work, doesn't it?
19:35It's always a work.
19:37You know, now that you're doing what you're doing, you help people celebrate life.
19:43I do what I do.
19:46I watch people destroy life.
19:48What I do is not a healthy thing.
19:50I know it's not a healthy thing.
19:56But it's a necessary thing.
20:05You having fun?
20:08Yeah, I am having fun.
20:12You haven't been this open since...
20:16For years.
20:20You know, it's tough being married to a hero.
20:24And I do think you're a hero.
20:30A hero, huh?
20:38I'm one or one hero.
20:43It's dealing with that kind of adversity that makes you heroic.
20:50You want a dance?
21:27Elvis Prim, it's Edwin Lucas.
21:30Elvis, open up.
22:05This is Luke, station 2276.
22:08We have a breach.
22:10Elvis has left Bettendorf.
22:30Elvis, open up.
22:44Oh, I'm sorry.
22:48It's okay.
22:52This will only take a second, I promise.
22:54This will only take a second, I promise.
22:55This will only take a second, I promise.
22:58This will only take a second, I promise.
23:00This will only take a second, I promise.
23:15This will only take a second, I promise.
23:24This will only take a second, I promise.
23:26This will only take a second, I promise.
23:52This will only take a second, I promise.
23:56You have any idea where he's gone?
23:58There's a dear John letter from his wife, she apparently left him.
24:02His scrapbook's here.
24:03It's open to an article about the arrest, the one with your picture in it.
24:08So what, Sid's a coward.
24:11So his wife left him, huh?
24:14Good, now he knows how I feel.
24:17Edwin, leave me out of this.
24:18Just going by the book, Frank.
24:22Have a good evening.
24:24You too, Edwin.
24:33Everything all right?
24:36Yeah, yeah, it's fine.
24:39Should we go?
24:47Well, I was hoping we could spend a little more time again.
24:51We can still go.
24:56Drake.
25:00Yeah?
25:03Drake is spending the weekend at Tommy's.
25:08Would you like spending the weekend with me?
25:11No harm, no foul, no obligation.
25:37Drake made this in shop.
25:40Hey, that's pretty good.
25:43He was awful proud of it.
25:46I have this dessert wine.
25:48It's awfully frustrating not being able to try it myself.
25:51Would you mind being guinea pig?
25:54No, not at all.
25:56I'll put these in water.
26:14Looking for this?
26:16Yes.

45:41Wise guy will be right back.
45:50It rings in my ears, Jenny.
45:53It's there all the time.
45:54It's there right now.
45:56It's been 20 years of police work.

46:03That I have used my gun.
46:05I have never been a sniper.
46:09I'm sorry, Frank.
46:12I'm sorry, too, Jenny.
46:13I just want you to know I believe I had no other choice.
46:16Don't say you did it because of me.
46:17I can't stand the thought that you killed a man because of me.
46:21I didn't do it for you, Jenny.
46:25No matter who was being held hostage, I would have done it.
46:32At least that's what I keep telling myself.
46:34You're quilting it off.
46:38Well, we're kind of bored.
46:56I didn't have to give up.
