What's the matter? No guts?

Chicken?

God!

- What happened?

- He bumped into a chair.

Chair?

Good morning.

- Almost got you, huh?

- Close enough.

- You know how I feel about this.

- I saw the hallways.

Garbage. Garbage.

The whole place smells like rotten cheese.

They're gonna have to fumigate.

Ed, I think we should be

looking for something else.

I'm willing to look at anything.

But uniformed officers

shot down in the streets,

that smells like radicals to me.

How about Patty Samuels unloading on me?

That's not radical.

Somebody thought Stan

had told me something.

You're still harping on

that Santiago thing.

Why not?

Ed, I want this case.

No, not this one.

I already put Burt on it.

Stan and you are too close friends.

You know how the department

feels about that.

Emotional involvement

clouds clear judgment.

We both know all you have to do

is just say the word.

Well, I'm not saying it.

Lon, I know you.

I'm not gonna stand for you

making up your own rules.

You're not gonna play

that Mickey Peters thing all over again.

Peters was a hood, and everybody knew it.

Yeah, and you weren't satisfied

with throwing him up on the roof.

You had to go up there

and throw him back down.

Six months in the hospital,

four lawyers screaming

about his civil rights.

Well, it kept him off the street,

didn't it?

Yeah, and that's why I'm behind a desk

and you're taking orders from me.

Now, cool it.

- Telephone, Captain.

- Yes. Thank you.

Lon, cool it. Don't go away.

I'm not finished yet.

Captain Kosterman.

No. No, no. All press inquiries

go to Chief Grogan's desk.

That goes for lawyers, too.

No, I don't want to talk to them.

Bye.

Captain Bennerman, Internal Affairs.

- Good morning, Mr. Santiago.

- Good morning.

- Bob, I thought you'd be in court today.

- No, that's tomorrow.

I was worried about the detective

who was shot last night.

I'm afraid there may be repercussions.

Why should that be?

I did not shoot him.

I was on an overnight plane

from Mexico City.

I know that, Manuel.

But it's my responsibility to caution you

about the possibility of harassment.

- Good morning, Mr. Santiago.

- Good morning, Chris.

Harassment. Such a nice lawyer's word.

Thank you, Bob. You're very conscientious.

How is he?

Critical.

Shame.

...handling

the modern supertankers,

eliminating the need

for the ships to travel.

Detective Sergeant Stan Boyle died

late this morning

at Harborview Hospital,

victim of shotgun wounds

sustained early this morning.

Boyle's assailant remains at large.

Police investigations continue.

This is

your weather girl, Barbara Bogey,

with today's report

on Seattle and vicinities.
