- Quotes
Capt. Frank Furillo: I've seen this before, don't think you're the only ones. You walked in the wrong doorway and got smacked, you both ought to be dead. Not because you screwed up, and not because you're bad cops, you're not, in fact you're exceptionally good, but it happens. And if you survive, it's never like it was, it's always with you: the what ifs, which one of us failed? The shame, embarrassment, the anger, and most of all, the fear of going back out there.
Officer Andrew Renko: It doesn't faze me, Captain.
Officer Bobby Hill: That's bull! You were scared out of your socks, turn on that light switch?
Officer Andrew Renko: Who's telling who who's scared?
Officer Bobby Hill: Sure I was, I can admit it, Renko, I've got no problem with that.
Officer Andrew Renko: Then admit it! You're SWIMMING in it! Alright, so I'm nervous out there, big deal, you just make me plainclothes and I'll get over that REAL FAST.
It's a tribute to the writing talents of Michael Kozoll and Steven Bochco, the creators of the series, that this plays out so compellingly. Everything is played with such sincerity, yet there is still some room for humour, of course. Pickpocket (the priceless Nick Savage) makes another appearance, during which Belker gets the standard call from his mother. There are truly heartfelt, tender moments between the cast members: Michael Warren & Charles Haid, Daniel J. Travanti & Veronica Hamel (who take a bath together), and even Travanti & Barbara Bosson, with the latter making Fay less shrill and more sympathetic than usual. At the end of it all, we realize what a good man Frank is.
The roll call has its own moment of levity, with Esterhaus commenting on the spelling mistakes made by graffiti artists in the restrooms.
David Caruso appears again as an Irish gang member; look also for character actor Art Evans ("Fright Night", "Die Hard 2") in a small role.
