Quiet. Listen. Listen!

Sh*t, this is scary.

Oh, my God. Jesus Christ!

- They've gone. Let's go.

- No.

Listen. Listen.

- They are coming back down.

- Oh, God.

Steckler.

Steckler.

- It's him! It's him!

- Who?

- Oh, my God.

- What?

What is he doing in this country?

Oh, Steckler, why don't you talk to me?

I know you are out there, Steckler.

Steckler, what's going on?

You have stolen something

from us, Steckler.

I've come a long way to get it back.

Return it and we will be good friends

again. Jawohl, Steckler?

Oh, by the way, Steckler, that first

little sale that you arranged...

...we had to cancel that.

That lovely agent from the German

government was very upset with you...

...when you double-crossed him.

I think he would have killed you...

...so we killed him instead.

We cut off his head.

Oh, God!

Steckler.

Pull over. We'll chew the fat a little.

Oh, God! What are you doing? No. No!

Nein!

- That's it. Come on.

- Halt! Steckler! Halt!

Oh. Oh, no. Oh, no. No. No!

Please!

Come on, come on, come on!

Shut up, you sex fiends!

- Ma'am, what do you want us to do?

- Arrest them. You're the Vice Squad.

- Ma'am, what do you want us to do?

- Arrest them. You're the Vice Squad.

It's not against the law.

You horse! You big horse! Oh!

You moose! Oh! You elephant!

She's got the Wild Kingdom in there.

- What are you gonna do?

- I think we ought to sell tickets.

Hey, hey, are you guys cops?

Are you gonna do something about

Mae West and Harry Reems in there?

Every night, humpety-hump,

sloshety-slosh.

I feel like I'm living

in a Pussycat Theatre.

Stuff a sock in it, you degenerate!

Jesus Christ, every f***ing night!

Goddamn. Change coats with me.

Get away from that door.

You'll catch something.

Sir, I'm Dr. Ballsup from the

District of Columbia Health Department.

This is a spot check, sir.

Hi. I'm Dr. Ballsup

from the Health Department.

You're wearing a condom

at this time, are you not?

Condom? Well, no.

I left it home on the dresser.

Oh, well, we've heard that before.

I'm afraid I'll have to cite you

under D.C. Statute 3086942-64.

- Is this a joke?

- No, ma'am.

Safe sex in the '80s is no joke.

Officer Delaney, you have any of those

indiscriminate-copulation citation forms?

You know, I'm fresh out.

- Well, it has been a busy week...

- Did we use the...? The orgy, yes.

Come on, fellas, give me a break.

My wife lost her job. My kid's been sick.

Sir, have you ever been cited for

D.C. Ordinance 9...

- 30869...

- Nine...

...42-64?

No, sirs. Never. Swear to God.

Look, I always carry one in my wallet.

I just used the last one.

See, there's the indentation.

- He is correct about the indentation.

- I see.

- Why don't you give him a break?

- Okay.

Well, since we don't have the proper

forms and this is your first offence...

...l'll let you off with a warning. But I'm

gonna ask you to cease and desist...

...until such time as you have

obtained another condom.

Now, please, sir, let's all practice

safe sex, shall we?

It's for your safety as well as for ours.

Have a nice night.

Keep your nose clean.

Stern, you're crazier

than they said you were.

Hey, Stern, wait up.

I got a message from the captain.

Send a singing telegram.

Well, well, MacArthur Stern, supercop.

How's things out on the sleaze patrol?

Boy, the gaudier the cop,

the snappier the patter.

What's on your mind, Weskit,

besides stale material?

You know what you guys ought to do?

Every time you bust a whore...

...you ought to paint a little tit

on the side of your car to keep score.

Oh, Weskit, I don't want to use the

five points of IQ it would take...

...to have a battle of wits with you.

What the hell do you want?

Captain's bringing you back to Homicide.

Got a briefing in the morning at 8 a.m.

The porno murders.

Yeah, you being an expert in the field.

I give you three days, and then

you're back in the toilet.

Who am I partnered with?

Anybody I know?

You kidding? Nobody you know will work

with you. You're gonna love this guy.

What's so funny?

So this is the old Woody

you were always working on.

It's beautiful.

Looks like a diner I used to eat in.

Hey. Do you know what

this car represents?

Hey, what do you think, I'm ignorant?

I read that psychology crap.

- It represents your dick.

- What?

That's right. An automobile

represents a man's dick.

It's an extension of your penis.

This Woody represents

what you want your dick to be.

Actually, I think you're flattering yourself.

You ought to be driving a compact.

Hyundai or something like that.

You're disgusting, Weskit. This doesn't

represent my dick. It represents order.

- Order?

- That's right, order.

When I slide this key into that ignition

and I hear that engine purr...

...I know there's order in the universe.

There's continuity.

There's a continuum.

Do you know what I mean?

That's some deep sh*t, Stern.

I give you two days.

Maybe one. One day. One day.

You should write a book, Weskit.

Me and My Lobotomy.

All right, all right.

Ellis!

Ellis!

I just talked to the captain.

He said if you're ready, he is.

- Are you ready, Ellis?

- You're the doctor.

Clinically, I think you're ready.

I want to know what you feel.

I'm as sane as most people.

You'll have to face violence again.

If you're going into police work,

you know that.

I know. We discussed that.

We dealt with it.

If I have to, I have to. And I will.

Just don't be afraid to fail. Failure and

recovery is the natural order of things.

Don't worry about me, Father.

I'll be fine.

I haven't had a fragmentary episode

in months.

You're right. Absolutely.

You're the sanest person I know.

Actually, that's not very encouraging

coming from you. You're a psychiatrist.

Everyone you know is crazy. Or celibate.

Come on. I'll help you pack.

MacArthur Stern?

Yeah.

Capt. Doggett sent us out to get you.

Oh. I oversleep a little

and they send the cops on me.

There's been another killing.

- And they want us to go there now, right?

- That's what the captain says.

Nice place. Decorate it yourself?

F*** you.

Goddamn it, it's hot.

It must be 110 out here.

- Hey, Mac. How you been?

- Hey. Remember Camus?

Yeah. How's Claire?

- Claire? Claire's a born-again Christian.

- Go on. She's a Catholic.

Every time I go see my son, calls me

the Antichrist and hides under the bed.

Oh. Over here.

What's going on here?

- What the hell you got there, Stern?

- What, this? This is a cat.

Gonna track the killers with it?

Most people use dogs.

Come on, Weskit, we know it's a cat.

That's really funny, Weskit.

I had a fire in my apartment this morning.

I didn't want to leave him in the car,

so l... What do you got here?

Male, Caucasian,

teeth extracted, fingerprints zapped.

Here's where they pulled

the boat in to dump the body.

Must have been pretty big,

from the size of the hole.

Over at Quiller's Boatyard,

I've got two more bodies.
