00:00She bombs in, shakes her maracas, and everybody turns upside down.
00:10You've got to be working homicide or breaking up drug rings, all the stuff I do on TV.
00:16I was in Hollywood.
00:17Detective Deedee nails her perps by yelling, hold it, big boy, hold it, big boy.
00:23Not only did you lose a collar, but you lost him on TV.
00:26You think all I am is a tight dress and a push-up bra.
00:29The cup fits.
00:30Well, you're wrong.
00:59You're wrong.
01:26You're wrong.
01:29You're wrong.
01:59I believe those are my potato chips.
02:21I believe those are my potato chips.
02:23Possessed is nine-ten, Tesposito.
02:25Oh.
02:27They could put a man on the moon, but they can't get my lunch right.
02:29Who would put pastrami on white bread?
02:31You two guys think there are more here?
02:33Hey, what are you trying to eat here?
02:35All right, where's my coleslaw? Someone took my coleslaw.
02:37Here, have some of mine.
02:39Well, you'll give me your coleslaw, but you won't let me in on your land deal.
02:41I told you, Victor, it's only open to black investors.
02:43Project's up in Harlem.
02:45You're not the only one he discriminates against.
02:47I have a difficult time with rejection, Marcus.
02:49Gentlemen, it's not personal.
02:51Come on, Marcus, our money's just as green as black money.
02:53Victor, take my coleslaw.
02:55Coleman, pick up.
02:57Talk about Jewish guilt.
02:59Touch it, I'll break your hand.
03:01Hey, we're partners.
03:03Hey, I'm hungry.
03:07I hate it when I do that.
03:11Clear the way, please, guys.
03:13Just clear the way, please. Thank you.
03:15Clear the way, guys. Clear it, please.
03:17Clear it, please.
03:19Hey, hey, hey.
03:21Well, I'll be.
03:29That's Victor Young.
03:31It really is.
03:33She's even sexier in person.
03:35All right, okay, that's all for now.
03:37We'll be back out.
03:39Relax, one more.
03:41Woman defies gravity.
03:43Who is she?
03:45Oh, I don't find it easy to live on, Marcus.
03:47That's Dee Dee St. James, NYPD.
03:49I don't watch TV. I can't believe it.
03:51It's Detective Dee Dee. Coleman, tell me
03:53you don't watch that show. And you don't, huh?
03:55I think it's stupid.
03:57Yeah, what's wrong with it?
03:59For openers, it's a jiggle show.
04:01So you do watch it?
04:03I've seen the promos.
04:05The last cop show I liked
04:07was Gunsmoke.
04:09Every week all she does is go undercover as a hulker.
04:11Yeah, but she's got great legs.
04:13Hey, step back.
04:17Attention here, please.
04:19Keep standing next to her, no problem.
04:21Miss Barrington is here doing some research
04:23for her TV show,
04:25and she'll be with us as a civilian observer
04:27until the end of this week.
04:29Hooray!
04:31Hooray!
04:33Hooray!
04:35Hooray!
04:37Let me remind all police persons
04:39present that the mayor's office
04:41expects full cooperation.
04:43This endeavor with representatives
04:45from the television community
04:47offers a unique opportunity to promote
04:49both the NYPD and the city of New York.
04:51Who is he kidding?
04:53They film it in L.A.
04:55Daniels and I have discussed the matter,
04:57and Miss Barrington will be assigned
04:59to Detective Petrie and Miss Becky.
05:01Thank you, God.
05:03Gentlemen,
05:05Miss Becky's name rhymes the game.
05:07Anybody ever tell you
05:09Yes.
05:11In the night sky?
05:13That, too.
05:15How do you do?
05:17My name is Detective Marcus Petrie.
05:19Hello, I'm Becky.
05:21Marcus, would you excuse me for a moment, please?
05:23Lieutenant Samuels?
05:25Yes.
05:27I was hoping I might be assigned
05:29to one of your women detectives.
05:31Well, we just feel an interracial team
05:33would look better in the media.
05:35We're interracial, and my white guy's smart.
05:37I'm not doing this for the publicity.
05:39I'm here to learn what real policewomen go through.
05:41So if I'm not assigned to a policewoman,
05:43there's really no point in my doing this, is there?
05:45All right.
05:49There's been a change in the Barrington assignment.
05:51Petrie and Miss Becky are off.
05:55And Cagney and Lacey are on.
05:57Nothing.
05:59I have nothing to wear.
06:01I should have gone to the cleaners, Harvey.
06:03We have to go to the cleaners tomorrow.
06:05Look at me. I'm a nervous wreck,
06:07and she's not even in the room.
06:09Babe, it is dangerous enough out there
06:11without having to worry about some plastic Hollywood bimbo
06:13getting in the way.
06:15Well, that's not true.
06:17It's not true.
06:19It's not true.
06:21It's not true.
06:23It's not true.
06:25She didn't even look like a bimbo getting in the way.
06:27Well, that's not fair, Harvey.
06:29She didn't look like a bimbo to me.
06:31You got that close?
06:33What do you mean, you got that close?
06:35You think everything is real?
06:37I didn't ask.
06:39Usually you can tell if you...
06:41Never mind.
06:43If you ask me,
06:45her show is strictly for kids.
06:47You watch it.
06:49What can I say? I'm a kid at heart.
06:51She said that she has come to New York City
06:53The only reason she is here is to get publicity to boost her ratings.
06:56The show is in trouble.
06:59Who told you that?
07:00I read it in TV Guide. I don't know what you're getting so nervous about.
07:03She's no better than anyone else. She is just an actress.
07:06You wouldn't say that about Noreen Dixon.
07:09She was in the movie. Yes, and Vicki, um...
07:11Barrington. Barrington is on TV.
07:14Different, Mary Beth. These people, they come into your home every week.
07:17You get to know them better than you do your own neighbors.
07:19I don't know any of my neighbors, but I doubt that any one of them looks like her.
07:22Hey, you scrape away the glitter and tinsel, and what do you got?
07:27Glitter and tinsel.
07:30Me? I'm like a real woman.
07:34What do you mean by that?
07:36She's just another pretty face.
07:38Oh, and real women are not pretty?
07:41I didn't mean that. What did you mean?
07:43Real women are beautiful.
07:46Just like you.
07:48That's a good answer, Harvey.
07:51You may stay.
07:55Come on, let's get a sunlit saloon, fellas!
07:58Room for Nigel. Nigel. Nigel.
08:01Nigel. Nigel. Nigel.
08:03You want a good picture here, hands up in the air.
08:06Take a picture.
08:08What did I tell you?
08:10I'll be fine with a phone. Cagney, 14th.
08:15It's Vicki!
08:17Get your hands away from me!
08:20Vicki!
08:23Hey, come on, Vicki.
08:27Good morning. Good morning.
08:28Morning.
08:30It's for you. What is that smell?
08:33His new cologne. What, did Gargo with it?
08:35No. I'm gonna break this up.
08:37What, are you jealous, Cagney?
08:39How could I be jealous of anyone who keeps you away from me?
08:42Nigel. Nigel.
08:43Cagney, what's going on here? Lieutenant.
08:47All right, people, bring it up.
08:50Bring it up. I said to break it up!
08:56You mean to yell like that? I didn't know you'd be here so bright and early in the morning.
08:59Just one more. I want you to write to my friend Rocco.
09:01We'll always have Brooklyn love and kisses.
09:03Yes, Guisito. I said to get back to work. Yes, sir.
09:08All right, everybody, uh, carry on.
09:11Carry on.
09:13Good morning. I'll have to get back to you on that.
09:16I'll see you in a minute.
09:31Can I get you something? You want a coffee?
09:34Oh, no, no, thank you.
09:35Tea?
09:37No.
09:38Water?
09:40No, thanks. I'm fine, really.
09:43How about a soft drink?
09:44Nope.
09:48If you need it, the ladies' room is over that way.
09:51Just a second.
09:52Not in the best of conditions. We've been meaning to paint it.
09:54Well, as long as the plumbing works.
09:56Oh, it does. Most of the time.
10:02You want to sit over at my desk?
10:06You sure?
10:08Okay. I like that.
10:11Here.
10:15Oh, uh, go ahead.
10:22Comfortable?
10:24Wonderful.
10:31You saw what happened out there.
10:32I don't like it any more than you do,
10:34but I got my orders from downtown.
10:36It's demeaning. Have you ever seen her TV show?
10:39She makes a joke out of what we do.
10:41Come on, Cagney. It's just a TV show.
10:44Lieutenant,
10:46Detective Deedee nails her perps by yelling,
10:49Hold it, big boy.
10:51No kidding.
10:54No kidding.
11:03You know, uh, I was in Hollywood in May.
11:07Really? Vacation?
11:08No, business. It was so interesting.
11:11But I missed my family.
11:12Boy, I know that one.
11:14It's not easy working 12 hours a day.
11:16Twelve hours?
11:17Sometimes 14.
11:19And then going home to take care of your kid.
11:20Some days it's hard.
11:22And some days it's impossible.
11:28Got any pictures?
11:31Yeah.
11:32I knew you did.
11:36This is, um...
11:39There. That's my husband.
11:41And this is Harvey Jr.
11:43He's named after his father.
11:44Of course, that's what Jr. usually means, isn't it?
11:47And this is... That's Michael.
11:49And this is my new one.
11:51That's little baby Alice.
11:53Oh, baby Alice.
11:55She's a sweetie, huh?
11:57You're a lucky girl.
11:59I bet you're right.
12:02I'm the second whip here. I've got better things to do.
12:05You got some big case going?
12:07You know as well as I do, it's a big case.
12:10You know, as well as I do, it could change.
12:12Just like that.
12:14Nice try, Cagney.
12:19We could always give her back to featuring as Becky.
12:22We'd rather not.
12:24Look what she's wearing.
12:26So clue her in.
12:28Show her what the well-dressed cop is wearing.
12:31Fine, lieutenant. I'll babysit her, all right?
12:33And the crime rate is going to skyrocket.
12:35And I'll explain it to the mayor.
12:37You know, I don't get it.
12:39I can't get into your deal because I'm not black.
12:42I can't go running around with Dee Dee St. James
12:44because I'm not a woman.
12:46I remember when being a white male used to mean something.
12:48What's her name?
12:50You know, she really does have a wonderful smile.
12:53Oh.
12:55Oh, she looks like you.
12:57They're the same dimples.
12:59Peaches and cream.
13:01Speaking of peaches, you look really great in that coat.
13:04It really compliments your skin tone.
13:06Oh, you like it?
13:08I mean, rodeo.
13:10Ladies!
13:12Time to hit what we like to call the streets.
13:19Got a lot of loose ends to tie up today.
13:21So it's only fair to tell you
13:23that it's not Hollywood out there.
13:25That's why I'm here.
13:27Get down and dirty. I want to see everything.
13:29Sergeant Cagney, I'm sure that there were plenty of other cases.
13:32Excuse me, but Miss Barrington wants to see
13:34what real detectives go through.
13:38We got trouble.
13:40That van has been following us the last four turns.
13:43This is detective pod 21.
13:45Oh, wait a minute. That's my P.R. van.
13:48What in the hell is it doing following us?
13:50Detective pod 21, disregard the last transmission.
13:53Well, they probably want to get pictures of my first day.
13:56Hold on!
14:02Oh, gee.
14:04We lost him. What a shame.
14:06You want us to pull over and wait for them?
14:09Detective, duty calls.
14:15Okay, we start by pulling all the files
14:18marked May 1973.
14:20There you go. Thanks for watching.
14:26You ready to get down and dirty, Miss Barrington?
14:29Oh!
14:31I'm so sorry.
14:33You guys had to come all the way down to Skid Row
14:35to deliver a pocket comb and a rabbit's foot?
14:37We have to deliver the deceased's personal effects.
14:40Better than delivering the deceased.
14:44Watch it here. Be careful.
14:49Hey!
14:51You're the detective needy.
14:56Now we know who watches her show.
15:05Here we go.
15:09Multiple gunshot wounds.
15:11Entrances to the right and left chest cavity.
15:14Major exit below the lung.
15:1638, you think?
15:18Are you kidding? You put your fist through that hole.
15:21That's a .354 Magnum.
15:23The M.E. says he'll meet us after his autopsy.
15:26Poor old man was dead nine days before anybody found him.
15:29If you don't mind, I think I'm gonna go up front and get some air.
15:32Oh, sure. Sure.
15:34Sure.
15:40I don't think Detective Deedy can take it.
15:43I couldn't either. My first time. Could you?
15:55What?
15:57All right, okay. Couple with the gun, Beck. Couple with the gun, okay?
15:59No problem.
16:01Just use it. Use it any way you feel.
16:03Okay? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
16:05Vicki, lick your lips, hon.
16:07Guess she's feeling better.
16:09That's it. Good, good. Fine.
16:11Now, provocative. Give me a provocative one.
16:14That's it. You got it.
16:16Good, good, good.
16:18You better stop now, Mark.
16:20No, no, no. Hey, you got better things to do. We'll finish without you.
16:23I can hang in as long as you can.
16:25Her fate must be killing her.
16:30I'll call you at the hotel later, okay?
16:32First.
16:34Hey, you!
16:37Hold it, big boy.
16:41Hey! Drop that towel.
16:44What the hell do you think you were doing?
16:47Drop. You're kidding.
16:49He didn't know that. I sure as hell didn't.
16:51Calm down, Christine.
16:53Don't you have any sense at all? You could have gotten yourself killed.
16:56Forget that, lady. No way. I'm no killer. I'm just a little down on my luck.
16:59You keep your mouth shut.
17:01If anything happens to you, it's our butts.
17:03Vicki, Vicki, Vicki. We have hit the jackpot.
17:05They're gonna eat this up. Eat this up. Come on.
17:07For immediate release today.
17:09We give up the right to remain silent...
17:11Why don't you just clear the way, please?
17:13Get your cameras out of here.
17:15Step aside.
17:17You have the real-life criminal on the street of New York today.
17:20Hey, are we on TV?
17:22Is this gonna go out to the tri-state area all day?
17:25Oh, nobody.
17:27Where does she get off having those press idiots follow us anyway?
17:30Oh, Vicki doesn't do that.
17:32The studio does that, Christine.
17:34Vicki?
17:36She asked me to call her that.
17:38She's not so bad.
17:40How'd you like the way she stopped that push, love?
17:43Thought he was on TV.
17:45You should have seen the look on your face.
17:52Hold it, big boy.
17:54Ow.
17:56Oh, man.
17:58Stand right here, please.
18:04Silk, huh?
18:06What do you think? I could really get into this.
18:09Well, it's not my style, but I bet it'd set you back a few bucks.
18:12Victor, you have to dress for success.
18:14Why don't you make a killing in real estate?
18:16You gonna quit the force?
18:18I don't think so.
18:20That's a little premature.
18:22Well, it can't be too far off if you're chowing down on a Che Andres.
18:25Yeah, me too, Victor.
18:27Au revoir.
18:30What do you mean?
18:35She bounces around in a silk suit and high heels.
18:38Gloria Steinem wears high heels.
18:40And her hair, David.
18:42There's so much bleach on it, I bet her brain's gone soft.
18:45What'd you say, blondie?
18:47This happens to be my natural color.
18:50A few highlights here and there.
18:52Wait a minute.
18:54What are you saying, a woman can't be intelligent and beautiful?
18:57Besides you, of course.
18:59I am saying that Detective Dee Dee NYPD is bubblegum for the brain.
19:02Entertainment is food for the soul.
19:04And a stitch in time saves nine.
19:06Damn it, David, it is exploitive.
19:08And she does it offscreen, too.
19:10She goes wiggling around,
19:12Flapping her eyelashes, reeking of perfume in the mail.
19:15They just drop dead right there, like idiots.
19:17That's pretty sexist, you know.
19:19You saying that's all we care about?
19:21Are you saying you're only interested in my mind?
19:23Absolutely.
19:25And the way you smell.
19:31Lovely evening. I'll call you tomorrow.
19:33Good night.
19:43This is our year, Claudia. I can feel it.
19:46It's like Conway says.
19:49We make a few thousand on the rec center site,
19:51Leverage it, move on to the next buy.
19:53Leverage it, Marcus?
19:55It's a great deal.
19:57Conway's got his sources down at City Hall.
19:59He knows what he's talking about.
20:01Seems like it, anyway.
20:03Randolph Conway's a Harvard MBA.
20:06We couldn't have a better partner.
20:08I've read articles about this man.
20:10He has a very impressive track record.
20:12And his heart's in the right place.
20:14We're doing something for the community.
20:19Good morning.
20:21Good morning, Chris.
20:23Could you believe all these flowers?
20:25Did she die?
20:27Good morning.
20:29Good morning, Vicki!
20:31Apparently not.
20:35I'm sorry about all the photographers and stuff outside.
20:38I brought you some breakfast.
20:40Oh, gee, thanks.
20:42Look what I found.
20:44What is it?
20:46Oh, gee, thanks.
20:48Look, Christine, croissants.
20:50Oh, no, thanks. I'll pass.
20:52I prefer...
20:54Water bagel, no butter, like Frenchies.
20:56Say, thank you, Christine.
20:58Who were your sources?
21:00Morning, beautiful.
21:02Hi, Ronald.
21:06Something on your mind, Coleman?
21:08Or is that a contradiction in terms?
21:11A burglary tour.
21:13Oh, good. Real police work.
21:15Which hopefully we might get to today.
21:17If we ever get past your media mob.
21:19No problem. Follow me.
21:21I know all the moves.
21:23Christine, don't.
21:27Good-bye, Vicki!
21:31So there isn't a slang expression.
21:33Stakeout is just a stakeout.
21:35I don't think we've ever been on one.
21:37You ever carry more than one weapon at a time?
21:40Oh, some do.
21:42Oh, some do.
21:44But I don't know anybody that carries a gun
21:46and hovers the air like Detective Deedy.
21:48I fight the producers on that every season.
21:51It's so silly.
21:53Dangerous, too.
21:55You could shoot off a big part of your career that way.
22:00How often do you call in a SWAT team?
22:02Oh, whenever Sly Stallone's out of town.
22:05Well, next time I see him,
22:07I'll tell him you said that.
22:09Detective Lacey, do you have an answer
22:11that isn't quite a snide?
22:13Uh, here in New York,
22:15they're known as special services,
22:17and we usually call them in
22:19whenever it's necessary.
22:23Come on!
22:33It would have been perfect.
22:35Candlelight, flowers,
22:37and soft music.
22:40And Veronica.
22:42Isn't she beautiful?
22:44I cut this out of the company paper.
22:46It's very nice.
22:48About the theft, sir?
22:50It took me over a year to ask her out,
22:52and he had to spoil it.
22:54Mr. Andrews, why do you think your neighbor stole your stereo?
22:57Because last night he pounded on the wall and hollered.
23:00Today, it's gone.
23:02Well, we need a little more than that to go on.
23:05He's just the type.
23:07Law and order mean nothing to him.
23:09Fine.
23:11We'll talk with Mr. Leavitt, right?
23:13Yes, yes, yes, yes.
23:15Rowan Leavitt, apartment 3C.
23:18Miss Barrington,
23:20may I say how much I enjoy your show?
23:24It's nice to see the good guys win.
23:26Yes.
23:28Too bad we don't have her writers.
23:30Mr. Leavitt,
23:32why do you think your neighbor has it in for you?
23:34Difference of lifestyle.
23:36I'm a nice guy.
23:38I'm a nice guy. He's a fascist.
23:40Want a beer?
23:42No, thanks. Sweet of you to offer.
23:44Oh, if real cops looked like you,
23:46I'd clean up my act and join the force.
23:48Speaking as one of those plain old real cops,
23:51I wonder if you might answer a few more questions.
23:54What do you mean, fascist?
23:56He's a survivalist,
23:58because out on the weekends,
24:00shoots paint pellets at his friends.
24:02Mr. Andrews next door, a little man?
24:04Yeah, Hitler size.
24:06Do you want to search me or anything?
24:10Unless you have any other information for us,
24:13Mr. Leavitt, I think we'll be moving along.
24:15Wait, there is one more thing.
24:21Will you take our picture?
24:23Certainly.
24:31You think Leavitt took the stereo?
24:33It's hard to tell.
24:35That's what keeps us on our toes.
24:37We can't flip to the end of the script
24:39to see who really did it.
24:41Well, maybe Andrews has some sort of personal vendetta.
24:44Could be.
24:46Leavitt's big. Andrews isn't.
24:48I never noticed that.
24:50You know, I had a short director once.
24:53Very belligerent.
24:55I always figured he had a complex
24:57about being a short man in a tall world.
24:59That's a possibility.
25:01I know motivation's important.
25:03Motive. All right, that's what I meant.
25:06So are we gonna take Leavitt's word for it,
25:08or are we going to talk to some character witnesses?
25:11We? Oh, we have work to do.
25:14And I'm disturbing you.
25:16Well, these case descriptions are very interesting to get.
25:33Look, why don't you just call it a day?
25:39You've made it a very special day, Sergeant.
25:42I won't leave until you do.
25:56Excuse me.
25:58Am I in your way?
26:00Frankly, yes.
26:02You got a hunch?
26:04Check right over here.
26:14Inspector 14th.
26:16Yeah, he's here.
26:18Sergeant Watson for the Black Howard Hughes.
26:21Hey. How are you doing?
26:24So what did you decide?
26:26Yeah, I know it's a lot of money,
26:28but like I told you before, Conway's very well-connected.
26:31His track record?
26:33It's the best.
26:35Excuse me, Daddy Warbucks.
26:37We do have a case to get to.
26:39Great. You won't be sorry.
26:41Hey, Victor.
26:43How about something to pick up your day, huh?
26:45Come on with Petrie and me.
26:47We're on the Greased Donatelli case.
26:49That's very tempting, Victor, but I think I'll stick with the gals.
26:52Hey, come on. We're getting really close.
26:54Wouldn't you love to be there when we nail him?
26:56You can't do that, Victor. It's too dangerous.
26:59Oh, why, I didn't know you cared, Sergeant Cagney.
27:02Just departmental rules, that's all.
27:07Sergeant Cagney, 14th.
27:09The day is on a roll, Victor.
27:11You ready to chase Donatelli's butt?
27:13Just remember, Marcus, money corrupts.
27:15Now, that's power, Victor. Yeah, same thing.
27:17Yes, hello, Mr. Andrews.
27:19You know, I've been meaning to ask you all week.
27:21Did you ever meet Noreen Dixon?
27:24Yes, once at MGM.
27:26Yes, and I remember... MGM.
27:28Oh, she was my favorite.
27:30What did it say? Except for you, I mean.
27:32No, she was my favorite, too, believe me.
27:34No kidding? Mm-hmm.
27:36Small world, huh?
27:38No, no, do not touch anything, Mr. Andrews.
27:40No, no. We'll be right there.
27:42Mm-hmm.
27:44Won't we?
27:46What makes you think that it's Mr. Leavitt?
27:49Who else could it be?
27:51Mr. Andrews will need something more to go on than that, sir.
27:54You know, a witness or some physical evidence.
27:56Thank you, Detective Deedee.
27:58In the meantime, Mr. Andrews, we will talk with Mr. Leavitt.
28:02Good day.
28:04It must be frustrating.
28:0625 years' experience between the two of you,
28:08and you're still investigating graffiti.
28:10You ought to be working homicide or breaking up drug rings.
28:13Not the stuff I do on TV.
28:21Okay, where does Leavitt work?
28:23Brooklyn at a brewery.
28:25I guess we've got to figure that out.
28:27Typecasting.
28:29We have a 10-13 at 1st and 33rd.
28:31Request a silent response.
28:33There's a call for assistance. No siren.
28:35This is Detective Card 21.
28:37We are in the vicinity, and we will respond forthwith.
28:40And this is where you get out.
28:43You'll have to find your own way back to the squad room.
28:45Oh, no, you can't dump me here.
28:47This is just the kind of thing I need to see.
28:49Too bad. There may be trouble.
28:51I can handle it. Out of the car, lady!
28:53It's Petrina's Becky car, 16.
29:17Hey, taxi!
29:19Listen to him.
29:21It's not a question.
29:28What have we got?
29:30Tip came down. Reese is making a deal.
29:32Five minutes ago, he bought a ticket.
29:34Strolls right in the front door.
29:36So we're finally gonna catch this slime.
29:38What's this we, Cagney? This is our collar.
29:40Uniforms have got the back sealed off.
29:42You'll cover the front. We'll go in, flush him off.
29:44Let's do it.
29:46Remember, this guy is slippery.
29:48Check this out, man.
29:50What the hell is going on?
29:52Oh, I don't believe this.
29:56Hey, you want to get that vehicle out of here?
29:59Hey, everybody want to back up here, please?
30:02You want to get your van out of here?
30:04Everybody back up!
30:06Everybody back up!
30:08Back up!
30:10Get away!
30:12Please!
30:14Back up!
30:16Back up!
30:18Please!
30:20Not only did you lose the collar,
30:22but you lost him on TV.
30:24We couldn't help, but Lieutenant,
30:26he blended right into the crowd.
30:28Barrington got in the way.
30:30Well, you should have dropped her as soon as you got the call.
30:33I practically threw her out of the car.
30:35Sir, she hitched a ride with a TV news van.
30:37Yeah, her limo must have been busy.
30:39Then when they got the call to cover the incident,
30:41she wound up in the middle of everything.
30:43Three months down the drain.
30:45You look like the Keystone cops, Lieutenant.
30:47I say we dump Dee Dee.
30:49Hey, these things happen.
30:51She blew your collar!
30:53Now how can you stand there like it was nothing?
30:55Hey, I could get over it.
30:57Say if Dee Dee was reassigned to us, sir?
30:59This is not a dating bureau.
31:01Lieutenant, I want it on record
31:03that Vicki Barrington is personally responsible
31:05for our having lost this collar.
31:07Sergeant, we all agree it's been a very disappointing afternoon here,
31:10but you can't say Miss Barrington caused it.
31:12Well, I don't think the crowds were going crazy
31:14to get Miss Becky's autograph.
31:16I don't care about people gawking, Lieutenant.
31:18She doesn't belong here.
31:28All right, Sergeant King. Send her in.
31:31Thank you, Lieutenant.
31:38Lieutenant wants to see you.
31:40Did you put in a good word for me?
31:46It was not entirely her fault.
31:48Yeah, well, it sure is.
31:52I wouldn't want to be a lieutenant right now.
31:54Then again, I wouldn't want to be Vicki either.
31:57Hmm.
32:04Would you mind telling me why she's smiling?
32:11Why's he smiling?
32:13I don't really know.
32:15I don't read lips.
32:27See you in the morning.
32:32Take it easy, Chris.
32:34Dean.
32:38Good night.
32:46Manipulative, low-down, slimy thing.
32:48Went a little heavy on the left there.
32:50Yeah?
32:52Well, I work hard fighting for my position, I'll tell you.
32:55She bombs in, shakes her maracas,
32:57and everybody turns upside down.
32:59I didn't see any maracas shaking.
33:01I'm telling you, Mary Beth, you can't trust a woman like her.
33:03Exactly what kind of a woman is that, Christine?
33:05The kind of a woman who will use whatever it takes
33:07to get whatever she wants.
33:09Mary Beth, when I use a little charm,
33:11I do it for a good cause.
33:13I didn't say a word.
33:15I protect people from crime.
33:17Uh-huh.
33:19So it's okay to use a little charm in your job,
33:21but it's not okay in hers.
33:23You sound like you almost like her.
33:25Well, it can't be easy, Christine.
33:27She's trying to raise a child by herself.
33:29She's working hard at that job
33:31where people are fussing all over her,
33:33and she's trying to raise a child by herself.
33:35She's trying to raise a child by herself.
33:37She's trying to raise a child
33:39where people are fussing all over her every minute of the day.
33:41I'm telling you, she's as phony as the airhead she plays.
33:43Now, how do you know?
33:45Do you ever bother to get to know her?
33:47Okay, fine.
33:49You think she's terrific?
33:51I think she's a bimbo.
33:53So what are you going to do, invite the bimbo home for dinner?
33:55I might, if I had a dining room set.
33:57I thought you people didn't use those things.
33:59Surprise.
34:01Time means everything, isn't it?
34:03Vicki, I am so sorry.
34:05Well, I'm not.
34:07It's a picnic working with you two, sergeant.
34:09You asked for it.
34:11I didn't know that publicity would get out of hand.
34:13Oh, come on. You thrive on it.
34:15I didn't leave my kid to come here for a publicity stunt.
34:17I came here to make Dee Dee a better cop.
34:19Why? So that your advertisers would be happy?
34:21I don't know.
34:23I don't know.
34:25I came here to make Dee Dee a better cop.
34:27Why? So that your advertisers could sell more toilet paper?
34:29No, so I can feel good about what I do for a living.
34:31By making a joke out of what I do.
34:33We put our tails out on the line every single day.
34:35You don't even have a clue as to what we're up against.
34:37And I'm never going to if you keep acting like an adolescent.
34:39Wha...
34:43If you don't want Dee Dee to be a bimbo,
34:45why don't you help me change her?
34:47She hates it when we lose a collar.
34:52Tomorrow, it'll be like nothing happened.
35:05Are you okay?
35:07Yeah, I'm... I'm fine.
35:09I'm fine.
35:11I'm fine.
35:13I'm fine.
35:15Yeah, I'm... I'm fine.
35:17I was going to go back to my hotel and eat dinner,
35:19read some stupid scripts
35:21until I fall asleep.
35:25Unless you meant what you said.
35:27What I said about what?
35:29Am I having dinner at your place?
35:31Oh, you wouldn't really want to do that.
35:34Mary Beth, I'd love to.
35:36I didn't bring the wine.
35:40Gee, sure.
35:45I'll get it.
36:00The coffees from around the world seem to go all nicely.
36:03She certainly has a healthy appetite.
36:05She loved your spaghetti sauce.
36:07She cleaned the plate twice.
36:09She noticed I even finished my ice cream.
36:11You see her boots?
36:14For a tall woman, she sure can't handle heels.
36:17It's poise.
36:18Sexy, too.
36:19Yeah, and smart.
36:20Who would have thought she'd know all about
36:22the side you don't like in Nicaragua?
36:24Not to mention El Salvador.
36:26You know, a glamorous woman like that,
36:28people seem to treat her like
36:30she's some kind of total dim-dum or a queen.
36:33Not fair, really.
36:37You are so beautiful, Mary Beth.
36:41Huh?
36:42First time I saw you,
36:45I knew you were the most gorgeous woman alive.
36:48Oh, Harvey, cut it out.
36:50Look at me a second.
36:52I'm not kidding.
36:54Sometimes I see, and it almost hurts.
36:57Your eyes...
36:59and these perfect cheekbones.
37:02Harv...
37:03And your smile.
37:05It just puts me away.
37:07Thank you, Harvey.
37:09My smile and what else?
37:20Do you think I'm judgmental?
37:22I think you have very strong opinions.
37:24Stop pussyfooting around.
37:26Okay, sometimes you're judgmental.
37:28I am not!
37:30I just don't know what to do.
37:33I don't know what to do.
37:35I don't know what to do.
37:37I just can't stand her.
37:39Oh, that's funny,
37:41because you're a lot alike.
37:43Would you like to get kicked out of bed?
37:45When you're beautiful,
37:47it's barn and ambitious and hardworking, Chris.
37:50People can find that intimidating.
37:52I am not intimidated by Vicki Barrington.
37:55That was supposed to be a compliment.
37:57Do you realize she's the only thing we've talked about
38:00since she showed up at the 14th?
38:02She's not.
38:04Is she?
38:06I don't care what the competition is.
38:08On any level, man or woman,
38:10you can handle it.
38:14Man or woman, huh?
38:17But only an extremely secure man could admit that.
38:22I guess it means you're not intimidated by me, right?
38:25Me?
38:27Oh, I love a pushy broad.
38:30Well, if I had a land deal in Warsaw,
38:32I'd bet you in.
38:34You're not getting the point, Victor.
38:36You always think I'm stupid.
38:38That's it, isn't it?
38:40You don't think I'm good enough
38:42because I can't order food in French.
38:44This happens to be the United States of America.
38:46No, Victor, that's not it.
38:48Then it is the racial thing.
38:50The fact is, the land deal is not in Warsaw.
38:52It's in Harlem.
38:54It's time for those of us who have been fortunate
38:56to give something back to the black community.
38:58Victor, this is about a black dreaming,
39:00a chance for black professionals
39:02to build something there that could help make a difference.
39:04You understand what I'm talking about?
39:06Sure. Discrimination.
39:12Good morning, Mickey.
39:14You don't worry about calories, do you?
39:17Sure I do.
39:19If I don't eat like a pig, I'll blow away.
39:21Gee, I thought I had problems.
39:23I've just called. He's still at home.
39:26Thank you, Sergeant.
39:28Good morning, Ronald.
39:30Morning, Vicki.
39:42Yes, Harvey.
39:44Yes, honey.
39:46Okay, I will.
39:48Tell him thanks again for last night,
39:50and the spaghetti was...
39:52Vicki says hi.
39:54She loved your sauce.
39:56Yes, yes, I will.
39:58I'll tell her.
40:00All right, sweetheart.
40:02Bye, honey.
40:04Sergeant Cagney, 14.
40:06Harvey says that the boys are still reeling.
40:08You're so lucky to have boys, too,
40:10and they're so sweet, especially Harv Jr.
40:12You should see him when you're not around.
40:14Uh-huh. Well, fine. We're on our way.
40:18That is, if you ladies have time.
40:20How about the scene
40:22when they're in the gondola
40:24and he takes Miss Dixon into his arms?
40:26Oh, didn't you think you had me just stopped?
40:29You guys want to end the trip down memory lane here
40:32and get back to some police work?
40:34Only this time, you stay in the car.
40:40We won't be long.
40:42Why'd you listen for radio calls?
40:44Whatever you say.
40:46This is, uh...
40:48These'll show you what all the numbers mean
40:50and what they're talking about.
40:57Why don't you give her a break?
40:59Why should I?
41:01She makes a million dollars a year doing her job.
41:03Let her put up with me.
41:05Oh, come on, Christine. It's not a million dollars.
41:08You're right. With reruns, it's more.
41:12So how was dinner?
41:14She has a chemical thing, Christine,
41:16that does something to men.
41:1820 years of marriage, I never saw Harvey so...
41:20I don't even know what it was,
41:22but they all had it, even the boys.
41:24Even Michael.
41:26Kind of reminded me of when they first met you.
41:30You know, she can't help being who she is, Christine.
41:32I know exactly how you feel.
41:34Same way I feel every time we go check evidence with Cervantes.
41:37What do Cervantes have to do with anything?
41:40We go in together,
41:42and it's, hello, Sergeant Cagney, how you doing, Sergeant Cagney?
41:45I may as well have stayed in the car.
41:47When we go to the lab, Solomon offers you sushi.
41:49Me, I get fiber samples.
41:51Don't tell me you never noticed.
41:54Well, maybe one or two times.
41:57You know how men are.
41:59How do you think I feel having to trade dates with Burdinsky
42:02for a couple of lousy parking tickets?
42:04Oh, you've never kept a date with him yet.
42:06See what I mean?
42:08Look, if it bothered you so much,
42:10why didn't you say something?
42:12What are you supposed to do?
42:14Stop wearing smart clothes and start retaining water?
42:16It's the way it is, that's all.
42:18Same thing with Vicki Barrington.
42:20Doesn't mean she's not a nice person.
42:24I thought this was a sure thing.
42:26I know that, but...
42:28Yeah. Yeah.
42:30Yeah, yeah, right.
42:34What happened?
42:38The city of New York chose another site for the rec center.
42:41Three blocks away.
42:43You lost all your money?
42:45According to the man with all the answers, it's just tied up.
42:48Indefinitely.
42:53It's not just me.
42:55I got Watson and Thomas into this thing, too.
42:57Hey, you didn't put a knife to their throat.
42:59I can vouch for that.
43:03He looked so perfect.
43:06And so did the dealer.
43:10I just saw what I wanted to see.
43:15Maybe what I wanted to be.
43:20This was a chance to show off to Claudia.
43:28Hey, Marcus, look at it this way.
43:30Whatever Claudia married you for,
43:32sure wasn't money, right?
43:39Can't argue with that.
43:41Did you believe that, Andrews?
43:43Hitting his head in the shower
43:45and then trying to frame Mr. Leavitt on assault charges.
43:47Little runt.
43:49Well, Mary Beth, we have it on the best of authority
43:51that short men are very dangerous.
43:56My PR man's outside.
43:58He'd like to get some pictures of the three of us.
44:00Oh, that'll be nice.
44:02Won't that be nice, Christine?
44:06Maybe I could get some copies for the kids.
44:09Whatever you like, Mary Beth.
44:11Well, that'll be swell.
44:13How about you, Sergeant?
44:15Spare five minutes for the enemy?
44:17I'm going to fix my face.
44:19I'll meet you in a couple minutes.
44:25Come on, Sergeant, fake a smile for the camera.
44:30You really want to play this thing out?
44:32You don't want a picture of me for your scrapbook,
44:34and I don't want to be part of your Hollywood hype, okay?
44:38Tell me something.
44:40Is it just me, or do you have a problem with all women?
44:43Look, it was your idea to come here.
44:46Now, nobody sent you an engraved invitation.
44:48If you can't take the heat, get the hell out of the kitchen!
44:50I can take anything you can dish out,
44:52but I resented, lady.
44:54You think all I am is a tight dress and a push-up bra.
44:57If the cup fits, I...
44:59Well, you're wrong.
45:01I answered phone numbers.
45:03I'm a woman.
45:05You're wrong.
45:07I answered phones, waited tables and parked cars for my acting lessons.
45:10And then I had to get past agents, producers and directors
45:13who still thought I should sleep my way to the top.
45:15Look, I read Hollywood wives.
45:17And in case you haven't noticed, I have to deal with men, too.
45:20Well, then you ought to know what I'm talking about.
45:22Nobody taking me seriously.
45:24Not one of them giving me credit for having a brain in my head.
45:27And now you?
45:29I thought you'd give me a chance to prove myself.
45:31What, because I'm a woman?
45:33We both paid our dues.
45:35But I guess you don't give a damn about any woman's career except your own.
45:47How about a performance?
45:56All right, come on, team. Big smile.
45:58Cheese. Nigel. Ah.
46:01Do I have too much eye makeup on, Vicki?
46:03No, you look fine, Mary Beth.
46:05Take a terrible picture. Most of my pictures look like mug shots.
46:08The only person that ever took a good picture of me was Christine.
46:11Team, tighter, tighter.
46:13Vic, more profile.
46:16Pad more cheekbone, okay?
46:18Nigel.
46:20Why don't we get a picture of just me and Mary Beth?
46:22That's a great idea. Sure.
46:24Guys, just the gals.
46:26Okay, okay. I know where this one is going.
46:28This one's going straight to Harvey's wallet.
46:30All right, Nigel.
46:32Super, here comes the blonde.
46:34Squeeze in there on the end, sweetheart.
46:38Don't call me sweetheart.
46:44Where would you like me to stand, Miss Barrington?
46:50Anywhere you feel comfortable, Sergeant.
