person at the party tonight?

It's my job.

It's my job.

Hey, Heather's trying to sleep.

Heather is not asleep!

How's my boy?

Your little girl is wonderful.

She's terrific.

Did you get your messages?

- No.

- No?

Miriam called. And Kate called twice.

I think she needs a loan.

And a Steven Arrocas...

Steven Arrocas called

to confirm his meeting with you.

And Jay called just to say hi.

- Hey, everybody.

- Hi.

Hi, sugarpuss!

Hi, sweetheart.

- So?

- So?

So, how was your date, Lolly?

Date? My ex-wife has a date?

- With who?

- I'm not telling you.

- I'll find out.

- No, you won't.

I will.

Hi, Raymond.

- Hi, Penny.

- How are you?

Good. You look great.

This is my partner, Amy Wallace.

- Sean looks terrific.

- He's great.

Big.

Sorry I'm late. And I have another

meeting in two minutes, so...

- This won't take long.

- That looks pretty painful.

What? Oh, this? Yeah.

Van can be a real jerk sometimes

when he's drinking.

- Is that often?

- No.

You noticed any changes

in his behaviour at home?

No.

- Having financial problems?

- No.

Is he under

an unusual amount of stress?

- No, not really.

- No?

No...no.

- I see. Using drugs?

- No.

To your knowledge he's not

using drugs at this time?

No.

Then what's his problem?

We can't help unless we know.

You don't want to help.

You want to nail him

so you can make Lieutenant!

Are you having marital problems?

I don't think that's your business.

- Seeing anybody else, Penny?

- Who told you that? Van?

Listen, I have a meeting,

so if there are no more questions...

- Not from me.

- No. Thanks a lot.

Yeah.

Very intuitive.

- Can I buy you lunch?

- Yeah.

Look at that.

That's a nice car.

Plus she had the Rolex.

How you doing?

Sweetmeat, don't do this.

Sorry, you can't do it, man.

Can't do it. You got to let her go.

- What?

- She's my snitch.

- I need her on the street.

- She made me an offer.

Say it was entrapment,

you did it wrong. OK?

But I did do it right.

Say you didn't.

Come here.

Dennis, what are you doing, man?

You said you needed money,

I got you a job, right?

You needed time to study,

I got you that. Now I need something.

- I can't do that, man.

- All right.

Get out! Go!

OK? You all right? OK?

You still love me. I know you do.

She was my snitch, man!

What can I do?

We're fairly sure he beat up

on these people unprovoked.

He has an obvious drug problem,

plus he was rude to me!

Well, nail his ass!

How long will it take?

Two days.

Why don't you give us three?

All right, good.

Coach?

- You know Dennis Peck?

- Yeah, he's a great cop.

- How come he's just a P2?

- Cos he doesn't care to be a P3.

- He's likes the streets.

- He likes p*ssy!

Why? Are you curious, Wallace?

- I'm curious. Can you set it up?

- Sure.

- How you doing?

- All right.

Yeah. I got to go back out quick.

Want to ask me about Van?

Actually, it's about Van's wife.

- You know Penny?

- Of course I do.

I think that's what the problem is.

Yeah?

I'm here off the record as a friend.

Do you think

maybe Penny's sleeping around?

You're married too, right? Just

as friends - you're married too?

I'm married. He's married.

- You're married?

- Yeah.

Does your wife f*** around?

It doesn't feel good, does it?

Stay away from wives.

Don't talk about them.

Do you?

- Stay away from wives?

- That's right.

I'll tell you about wives,

my vast, eXtensive eXperience

with wives.

They're all looking for strange,

just like you or me.

My wife, his wife, your wife,

it's all the same.

You're looking for strange.

You see a pretty girl, you look.

Here. A very pretty girl, you look.

Kee, come here a second.

Kee, this is Raymond...Aviller?

- Is that right?

- Close enough.

- She's very pretty?

- She's beautiful.

- Do you want her?

- Do I want her?

In another life, I want her.

- You won't get another.

- I'm not looking for another.

- I'll tell you what.

- What?

You want to ask me any more questions

about Van Stretch,

do it officially at Internal Affairs.

I don't need to ask

any more questions.

Good.

- I got all my answers.

- Thank you.

You can do better, Kee.

Very clever, Raymond.

Van moonlights 15 hours a week

doing security at the Galleria,

plus $38,000 from the department,

plus her $25,000 from the bank.

$85,000 tops.

Last March they bought a house

in Granada Hills for $402,000.

They've spent 300 grand

in 18 months!

What do you think he's doing?

- It could be a lot of things.

- Think he's doing it alone?

Not Van.

Well, whatever he's doing,

the pay's good.

I can't believe

he's running the show.

Dennis could be.

Which doesn't mean he is.

- We could run a financial.

- We're not authorised.

Ain't nothing

like the real thing, baby!

I got another vice officer

needs work. He's a good man.

- I can't use him.

- Can't use him?

You know how much

shoplifters take this place for?

Your cops are all boneheads.

They're in the toilet,

doing flute recitals.

Powdering their noses. Get it!

- That's why you need more.

- More like Lurch?

I don't think so.

You talk to the Arrocases yet?

It'd be nice

if you could help them out, Dennis.

You released her in front of the

station and that was your decision?

Yes.

I messed up the initial contact.

I'd have had to perjure myself.

- Then, what was the fight about?

- That was a personal thing.

- Nothing to do with this?

- No.

Who told you that?

Judson? He's full of sh*t!

And you're about

to take the sergeant's exam?

Yeah.

- What are you interested in?

- Homicide, what else?

Nothing else!

- This is my wife, Liz.

- Raymond Avilla, nice to meet you.

- You're gonna be late for work.

- I gotta go.

I'm no longer here.

- Where do work on your second job?

- I work at the Galleria.

- Doesn't Van Stretch work there?

- Yeah.

How did you get that?

Every cop in town's after it.

Dennis knows the boss.

He recommended me.

Look, I'm sorry.

This thing just came up.

I don't know, Kath.

I'll be home as soon as I can.

Look, I got to go.

Love you, too. Bye.

This had better be good!

At five o'clock, I got a call from

the watch commander at Northridge,

a guy named Judson.

He said Peck had a beef with a young

vice officer named Dorian Fletcher.

Dennis Peck?

Steven Arrocas?

My wife, Tova.

- Tova.

- How do you do?

Why don't you have a seat?

Would you like a drink?

Yeah. Scotch on the rocks.

I'll get the waitress.

So, how do you know Rudy?

I've known Rudy since I...

How do you know him?

We have contact!

He works for Rudy Mohr, an ex-con.

He got the job through

Rudy Mohr's paid consultant...

- Dennis Peck.

- That's very good.

We need to find out how many others

are moonlighting at the Galleria.

We'd have to go through every single

personnel file in the division.

- So, we're going after Peck?

- Si.

If we blow this or if we're wrong...

..we're f***ed.

This is your pile. This is my pile.

My pile's bigger than your pile.
