However, much Iess inspiring are

your achievements since your promotion.

You spend more time womanizing than

- We need you back one hundred per cent.

We need someone who knows the mob.

We're afraid Van Adder has united

Why me? Why here in Chicago?

SpeciaI agent James was going to

deIiver the fiIe to us here in Chicago.

- But he didn't.

- Why not?

We don't know.

- Do we think he's been kiIIed?

- We don't know.

The bureau does not Iike

not knowing things.

Dead or aIive, James is in the area

and Van Adder is on to him.

You find him before the bureau does.

His woman has hired a detective.

He goes by the name FIash.

See what he knows.

Any probIems ... deaI with them.

Goodbye, CarIos.

I can't make it here without CarIos.

I need you, KeIIy. I miss you.

I miss you.

But I don't Iike what you do, Boomer.

I don't Iike that city

and I'm never going back there.

I'm Ieaving Chicago, KeII.

I want to come up there and be with you.

I want to make it work this time.

I quit the department.

I'm done. For good.

Boomer, are you coming up here

because you hate that city?

- Or because you Iove me?

- I Iove you, KeIIy.

And I'II prove it to you

ifyou give me one more chance.

Just Iisten to me.

Take care of everything

you have to take care of down there.

And then get up here

as fast as you can.
