Good evening, I'm Robin Leach. The producers of Sledge Hammer! have asked me to explain tonight's episode. Let me be frank, it is an attempt to boost the ratings. There are many ways to do this. Better scripts, more warmth, and big-name guest stars. But we're desperate. So in tonight's episode, we're going to rely on four sure-fire ratings grabbers. Sex, violence, rock music, and, best of all, a cliffhanger ending that will keep our viewers glued to the edge of their seats until next season, thus ensuring there will be a next season. Trust me, I know what I'm doing.
S1 E15Unfinished Business
Hammer, I must congratulate you on apprehending those bank robbers. I just can't believe that you were able to get them to surrender their weapons by reading aloud from the collected works of Rob McKuen.
It's great.
You know, some of them were weeping openly. The truth is, poetry is more effective than tear gas.
TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT IM DOIng

At level 4 we associate scenes of extreme violence with our command to forget a certain topic. It can turn Oliver North into a bed-wetter.
This had better work, we're running out of time.
[Hammer is exposed to a string of violent images.]
This is impossible! This man is experiencing every form of violence known to man... and he's loving it!
I am losing my patience...
So am I... give me a gun, let's kill him!
Are you mad?!
Of course I'm mad! Would a sane man work in television?
According to our findings, Elizabeth Jenkins escaped six months ago from a home.
You mean, "a home"?
That is correct. And apparently while there, she became obsessed with TV police shows. Upon escaping, Jenkins used falsified records to enroll herself in the police academy.
So, after being stationed at the 33rd, she naturally fixated on a cliched, macho cop like Ginsburg. And when he rejected her psychotic advances, she killed him.
That's right. And then transferred here... where another, similar murder almost took place.
Wait a minute! You're telling me that someone with serious mental problems was able to slip through our screening procedures and become a cop? How could something as obscene as that happen?
That's not the question, Hammer. The question is, "how could it have happened again?"
