Two of my favorites... Uh-uh-uh-uh!

Don't you dare sit in

those chairs. Either of ya.

Detective Lecce, is this the weapon

involved in the assault?

- Yes, sir, Captain, sir.

- Do we know whose weapon it is?

- Yes, Captain, sir, it's mine.

- Okay, let's get some facts straight.

Winston and I don't want Internal

Affairs pointing a finger at us,

saying that we didn't

do ourjob right.

The gun fell out of my hand because I

happened to be falling out of a window.

Witness picked it up,

shot the suspect. Sue me.

Since this is now classified

as an officer-involved shooting,

- you two won't mind a quick visit with the D.A.'s office.

- What?

- The guy was resisting arrest!

- It took the two of us to hold him down!

- He can't file charges against me!

- Really?

- The gun was falling out of my hand!

- Hey! Hey!

- Who said anything about filing charges?

- You said the D.A.'s office!

I didn't say anything. You two are

temporarily reassigned to the D.A.'s office.

- They'd like to stop by and tell you why.

- Do we get a choice?

Choice?

A handcuffed suspect?

- Good afternoon.

- Phillip. Gentlemen.

Gentlemen, this is Assistant

District Attorney Gina Garrett.

- This is Det. Chris Lecce and Det. Bill Reimers.

- Hello.

- Oh, I'm really sorry about that.

- Don't use my scarf!

- I got some spaghetti all over...

- Everything's fine.

Gentlemen, this assignment's

confidential. Don't discuss it.

Two days ago the Las Vegas D.A.

and the U.S. Department ofJustice...

asked us to help find a witness

who was gonna testify...

against the head

of a Chicago crime family.

Luella Delano was the witness.

Justice had her under protective custody

until someone blew up the safe house,

- killing several agents.

- How many are several?

Three.

Somehow she got away.

She's made no attempt to contact the Department

ofJustice or the Las Vegas D.A. since then.

- What, no postcard?

- No.

Trial begins next week.

The Feds are all worked up.

Apparently, without Delano

the government has no case.

So all leads are being followed,

including one which leads here.

Phone call Delano made to a number here in

Seattle belonging to a Brian and Pam O'Hara.

- She may be lookin' to lay low with them.

- Anybody check the O'Haras?

They left for their vacation home

on Bainbridge Island two days ago...

which makes putting them

under surveillance a little tricky.

- Stakeout.

- We heard you're good at it.

We cannot rotate surveillance teams.

You'll be on it round the clock.

I have managed to secure the house next to

the O'Haras. It belongs toJudge Hoberman.

- Maximum Dave?

- I've had to promise on my career...

that nothing would happen to his house, so
