Theyre ruining those movies with that colorizing thing [ door opens, closes ] we interrupt with this bulletin from the channel 7 newsroom. A fire has broken out in the hill street station house of the metropolitan police. Lets head back. Uh. Where do we stand . Extensive smoke and water damage, captain. We are doing a shear and stress test and see if the structures held up. Can we work here . Ill have preliminary status for you in a few minutes. Ready for more, captain . Two hookers killed on van buren. Strangled with piano wire. Yeah, thats the m. O. On those heights strangulations. Tell the heights we want their complete profile on the pianowire killer. Yes, sir. Do you believe this, captain . Do you believe hed go this far . What are you talking about . I knew lieutenant buntz was a loose cannon, but i never thought hed go endangering peoples lives. You think lieutenant buntz had something to do with this fire . Were very close to filing charges on the evidentiary theft. The coke came from the suitcase. How do you figure a guy like that, huh . Maybe he wants to bring the whole house down with him. Lieutenant shipman. Raised the possibility of arson ive been told they can show me the spot on the fuse box where the current overloaded that heights file is on its way. Thanks. If you have enough to arrest buntz for stealing evidence, go ahead. Whats with the angry tone of voice . Otherwise, leave us alone captain whats our status . Your, uh, power is hit bad. You got the wet, and you got the stink. Ive also got a serial killer and an i. A. D. Investigation in progress. If its possible not to relocate, thats how id like to proceed. Now. Your base structure is holding up. The only area that id make a question mark is back there in the corner. [ sighs ] otherwise, you should be all right. Dispatch. We have a 911 Armed Robbery in progress, surplus store, corner of peebles drive and 124th street. [ slow piano music plays ] [ sighs ] are we following some organized regimen here, sergeant, as to cleanup . Well, uh, everyone handles the area they work in. I guess were lucky the joints still standing. Only temporarily. No doubt they will level and rebuild. No kidding. Lieutenant. Sergeant. Melancholy event, hmm . When does the new building go up, chief . Not my department, sergeant. [ telephone ringing ] gentlemen. Two seconds on another matter. Charges filed yet on our friend buntz for stealing that cocaine . Not yet. I want them filed. Talk to i. A. D. I want our losses cut with that throwback so, what page are you on with these hooker murders . What page he and his task force are on. Oh, penzickis stuck. Theyve been on page one since the unit was formed 10 months ago. Were just doing what mortals can. Which obviously does not include catching the killer frank. I know todays a logistical nightmare, but i want you fullbore on that maniac. Detective penzickis got us up to speed on what the task force has developed. Im sure that was a highly informative conversation. Did you show them the piece in the Law Enforcement monthly where were second from the to in multiple, unsolved homicides . I got it here somewhere, chief. Detective penzickis is here to cooperate with you, captain, under your supervision and lieutenant goldblumes, if you catch my drift. I understand theyve decided to level the precinct house, put up another building. Yeah. I suppose a fire is the sort of nudge the bureaucracy needs to modernize, huh . [ scoffs ] what a guy. You know, its baffling, dont talk to me about letters of appeal, mister you i. R. S. People garnished my paycheck right out of left field. Now, my wife has to buy groceries i want to know who to talk to yes, i will wait. The coffee areas off limits, sid whats left of it. The guys name is freddie jerome. I got him positioned to come forward. All i gotta do is grease the wheel a little. What are you saying . Youre gonna bribe the guy to lie so buntz gets off . No i got him positioned to come forward to tell the truth. Whats the matter . You think lieutenant buntz did this . its hard to know what to think. Well, im telling you lieutenant buntz did not pinch a suitcase full of soda. I know. I tried to talk him into doing it. Whatever, sid. A sawbuck is all i got. Thats excellent. And, uh. 25. Is this to help lieutenant buntz . Yeah. I thought you and buntz didnt get along. I got, uh. 16 bucks. 16 . 16 bucks. Hey, norm. Norman, you promised. Out of my way. Norman lieutenant buntz, its my understanding that you are suspended and denied these premises. Leave me alone. Fay. Fay, listen, no. No, dont redeposit ill go by the bank tonight after i pick up frank jr. Ill give you a new check. All right . Im sorry. Well, of course itll never happen again. It never does. [ clears throat ] yeah. Thank you. Captain. Norman, im wondering what youre doing here. What good do you think you can do . Im going over and over it in my head, captain. Im not getting an honest call from this i. A. D. Guy. Cant we get something going up here, some sort of shadow investigation . That is so far out of policy. To investigate the evidence loss, the theft. We dont have venue. Captain, look. I explained to shipman the money in my apartment. He didnt question that. He he seemed to accept that. Then they suspend me. Obviously they feel they have more than theyre saying. If they have more, its crap, because i didnt do anything what do you think . Im playing it right down the middle. Well, thats because its what a captain does. And, uh. I, uh. I had a few scrapes, a few officer involveds. But, captain. One thing you ought to know about norm buntz, which is why i didnt do this, captain. Its why it dont even make sense. I dont need the money, captain. Guys who do this [sighs] theyre either jammed up or its what they like. They like having lots of money. What i like. Is people dont screw around with me. Thats a. And b i like being a cop. Ill have a look into this on my own. But its the best i can do. You go home. You go home and stay there. [ sighs ] look, how about i just stick around norman. Home. Home and stay there. Now. [ indistinct conversation ] [ dog barking ] we were on sector patrol, lieutenant. That bag lady held us. I guess she found the bodies while she was going through the garbage. These i. D. S on the bodies . Yes, sir. Bobby. Andy. Lieutenant, were not gonna get very much from that lady. Do you fellas want to do door to door in the surrounding buildings . I do not know why people trash the area surrounding their own domicile. Lab and forensics, please. You got it, lieutenant. They probably worked dekker and 103rd. You should probably start there. You want more time . Any thoughts . Yeah, just ones i dont wanna have. Hold that for me, would you, please . I think its like the other killings, but, uh. You know, different. I dont think its the same guy. Copycat . Mmhmm. Listen. Im the fella behind the eight ball on this one, lieutenant. I am the last guy to ask about this stuff, you know what i mean . Mmm. Thanks. Yeah. Why wouldnt i feel okay . Aside from the fact that i got a cashflow problem which would make old mother hubbard blush, and the fact that im in the middle of a divorce, my existence on this planet is just fine. Oh, man. Got a flat. [ sighs ] [ telephone rings ] yes . The initials on this motion hearing are those judge levines . I mean, levine is harold, right . That doesnt look like an h. Thats because its an n. Thats judge laurings initials. Judge nathan lauring b4. This cocaine hearing was supposed to be in b7. Thats judge levines court. Yeah, but levine gets backed up, and if its light in another part of the courthouse, they shoot the excess over there. And the Court Officers on this list are they levines or laurings . Maykowski, burton. Levines. B7. So this record doesnt actually tell us which Court Officers handled the evidence in this case. We make the records up when the hearingready case exits the hub courtroom. Thats 90 a day i have to know who laurings Court Officers are. [ sighing ] well, that would be no, no, i dont mean that. I mean in this case. Oh, man, captain. Youre talking an hour and a half to go through a mans career is at stake here. [ sighs ] . . If youre on medicare, remember, the open Enrollment Period is here.
