He moves into a rooming house that caters to single cops as he embraces his fellow officers as an extended family. He becomes close to an Arab officer and his boss, a very professional but lonely, middle-aged female detective who is also a recovering alcoholic. Routine police procedure gives way to an intensive search among the city's homeless for an undocumented Russian immigrant who may be responsible for a series of violent crimes.

Fish in a bowl suck!::Homicide detective: You're paid to lock Arabs and Blacks up. If you freak out over lizards, you won't get far.

Young man: [He approaches Commandant Vaudieu and Antoine, who are sharing a marijuana cigarette] Excuse me, can I have a drag? [Antoine pauses and looks at Vandieu, who assents. He gives the joint to the stranger] Thanks. [He takes a long drag] Watch out. [Returning the joint] This place is crawling with cops. [He leaves] Au revoir.
