"Experience" is the second episode of the first season of ''Series/BarneyMiller''.
A man enters the 12th precinct and asks to talk to a detective. Not finding the person he wanted to see, the man walks out of the squad room--leaving behind a bomb in a briefcase.
Capt. Miller, it turns out, is going through files trying to get a lead on a mad bomber who has been terrorizing the area. Meanwhile, Detective Wilson (Rod Perry) and Fish have brought in Marty, a purse snatcher. Fish, an old cop who is two years away from mandatory retirement, couldn't keep up as Wilson chased down Marty on foot. Fish decides that he can't hack it as a cop anymore, and tells Barney he's going to retire.

!!Tropes:
* BlowingARaspberry: Wilson says the mysterious briefcase can't belong to Wojo or Yemana because "It's too classy for you guys." In response Wojo blows him a raspberry, and Yemana says "Very well put."
* CampGay: First appearance of Jack De Leon as the extremely gay Marty. To Marty, his crime of stealing the purse wasn't nearly as terrible as that of the woman who bought the very ugly purse.
* DramaticIrony: Barney says of the mad bomber that "This whole thing has me uneasy." Yemana says that Barney will catch the bomber because Barney has "animal instinct...a sort of awareness." As Yemana says this Barney is actually holding the briefcase bomb, which he picked up off a chair.

* InstantlyProvenWrong: Barney is trying to give Fish a pep talk as Fish talks of retirement. Barney says of Fish's coworkers, "They know that you're sharp, that you're on the ball!" This is followed by a loud snore from Fish, who has fallen asleep on the couch. Again at the end Barney, still trying to talk Fish out of retirement, says "You're a fine example for every young officer on the force!" Fish starts snoring again.
* RelocatingTheExplosion: Fish manages to lock the bomb in the office's safe JustInTime. After it explodes, Barney reminds Fish that there was $40 in petty cash in the safe.
* TimeBomb: A mad bomber has been leaving bombs all around the area, set to go off at 5 pm. So when Fish figures out that the bomb is in the briefcase, everyone knows exactly how long it will be until the bomb goes off (not very long).
