    A man who is a leader but off balance, ends up taking Goldblume as a hostage in a tenement. The troops are called in, trying to negotiate, but there may be explosives and Henry's life is in danger. Chief Daniels runs around, accusing and blaming, and contributing nothing. Renko goes to a country western concert he can't really afford and feels he betrayed Daryl Ann. He actually gets to meet his big hero performer. Sadly, Belker is brought in for some bad news.
