      [last lines]

      Officer Pete Malloy: [voice over at the conclusion of Porter's burial] Tonight's newspaper will report it all. Old news. From now on, she'll have to open her own doors. Carry her own troubles. And her children's. Alone. From now on, it's just the three of them, instead of just the four. And if there must be a final postscript to all of this, then let it here be noted: the coffin will soon be buried. He will be forgotten except by a very few. Out of sight, out of mind. And strangely enough, in view of current custom, no one will raise a placard to denounce his senseless murder. No one will raise indignant cries of protest at the shedding of his blood. No one will march in anger because of his death.

      Announcer: [voice over] Elegy for a pig.

    • Crazy credits
      In addition to the special opening sequence, the episode ends with the credits in plain white lettering on a black screen, running in total silence until the trademark Mark VII Limited is shown.

    The side you never see
    This episode was written excellently. It really tells alot of truth in the life of a police officer. It speaks volumes how officers live everyday. More people should respect the officers tgat protect us everyday.
