>> Well, petey, your ship
has finally come in.

( Laughs )

>> All right, do that.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

>> More coffee?

>> Um, get outta here.

>> Hey, Mario.

How's it going?

How's Natalie?

>> What do you care?



You after my ex-wife?

>> Oh, Mario, that's cold.

I'd never try to nail
my buddy's ex.

>> Glad to hear it.

>> Yeah, I quit banging her
the minute you divorced her.

>> Petey?

>> I'm petey.

You must be Max.

>> Hey, I was told
you're the guy.

Somebody wants to move
something quietly

on or off a ship,
gotta see petey.

>> I'm here as a favor to
a friend, but I can't help you.

That would be illegal.

>> Max: Oh.

>> How's about
a refill, darling?

>> Petey: You must have me
confused with someone else.

>> Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait. Wait.

>> If you so much as stop
by that table, I'll have you

busted on the spot.

>> For bad coffee?

>> For interfering
with a police investigation.

>> Maybe you don't understand
who you're dealing with here.

In Miami, I used to be
a wharf rat the same as you.

Somebody wanted to move
something in or out

of that town,
they had to see me.

>> That explains
your police escort.

>> What do you mean?

>> Hey, Mario.

Max here doesn't believe
he's being tailed.

>> Oh, man.

>> Well, you're spending time
together-- I thought you might

as well be friendly.

>> This isn't funny, petey.

>> I'm leaving now, Max.

Mario's been burned,
but don't worry.

He'll have somebody follow you.

Watch your back.

>> Petey, wait up.

I'm moving $20 million
to Venezuela this week.

I need your help.

>> I'm sorry,
you're just too hot.

>> It's a very special shipment.

The armored car's gonna get hit.

I need a local to help me
orchestrate this.

>> I don't do armed robbery.

>> An armored car heist
is as good as its inside man.

That's me.

>> I'm not interested.

>> $20 million?

>> Have a nice life, okay?

>> Max: Hey, hey, hey.

You don't just
walk away from me.

You already know too much.

>> You want to threaten me
in Miami, that's your choice.

You try it here,
you better put on

your steel jockstrap.

>> Sorry, this one gets away.

>> You can't stop me.

>> Sure I can!

>> Petey!

Hey, yo! Petey!

I can't believe you did that.

>> Sure you can, Mario.

That's just the kind
of guy I am.

>> ( Van starts )
>> Hey! Hold it!

Hey! Stop!

Hey! Oh, man!

>> ( Laughs )
You're hasslin' waitresses now?

>> She's a reporter, man.

She's making a living
out of bustin' cops.

>> Good for her.

>> Hey, give me a minute here.

I gotta tail all
known associates, all right?

>> You're tailing me now?

Oh, no. No.

This is not a good time.

I need to lose you
for an hour or so.

>> You know I can't do that.

>> It'll save us both
a lot of embarrassment,

professionally speaking, hmm?

>> All right, now get--
get the hell outta here.

>> Damn it.

>> How you doing?

>> Top of the morning.

>> There must be a billion
bananas on that boat.

I mean, bananas.

That's the best damn value
in the world.

They grow it, harvest it,
ship it up from south America,

deliver it to a store
where it costs maybe a nickel.

( Scoffs ) How did they pay
for that ship?

>> You wanna learn the true
secret of banana farming?

That's our load.

>> Can you identify
the contents?

>> Bananas?

>> Fuck.

That's my brother.

>> Bananas. Yeah, right.

>> For what it's worth,
I didn't see a thing.

Let's go.

>> No.

No.

>> Computer chips?

>> Huh. Thought it was bananas.

>> Price of bananas
just went up, petey.

>> I can't believe he's
doing this on my turf.

>> Those chips are worth
hundreds apiece retail.

>> Yeah, well, it's not gonna
do him any good in prison.

>> You're gonna bust
your brother?

That's cold.

>> Why don't you just stay out
of my personal business, doc?

>> Most of my partners
get to know me

before they start bitching.

>> Yeah.

>> ( Siren blares )
>> No, you son of a bitch.

I told you this
was gonna happen!

>> Relax, Matt, I'm just
brokering some bananas

for a friend-- hey!

>> My new partner here
doesn't think I'm gonna send

my little brother back
to prison, but he's wrong!

>> Possession of bananas--
what's the charge,

excessive potassium?

>> You think you're so smart,
smarter than anybody else.

>> ( Distant arguing )
>> You come on my turf

and do this on my turf?

So, where you
headed now, genius?

>> I get it-- you want me
to ask you for help

so we'll be even?

>> I don't owe you anything!

>> Okay, that's enough.

>> No! No!

>> Take a hike.

>> I'm making an arrest here.

You think we never talked
about this day?

You think I never warned
you what would happen?

You are busted.

>> You want to see me ask you
for something, think again.

>> Yeah.

>> What's your mom gonna say?

>> That's not funny.

>> Get out of here, Peter.

>> No, I'm waiting
for my brother to show me

he's a better man than I am.

Arrest him.

>> Shut up, petey, and go.

>> Hey. Truck stays.

Don't worry.

The truck'll disappear,
and you'll get a nice bonus.

>> I am clean,
and I'm gonna keep it that way.

>> Well, you should've mentioned
that before you let

your brother go.

>> You let him walk!

>> Now, look. Knowing about it
is the same as being in on it.

Don't be so pious!

Like this is
assault rifles or smack.

It's computer chips!

He switched trucks!

>> I've heard of apple computers
but, uh, never banana.

>> Your brother's a pain
in the ass.

>> They took the truck
to a warehouse,

and they practically signed
for it like federal express.

I followed the truck
to a wholesale market,

but the bananas vanished
in a dozen directions.

>> So, what's your point?

>> Those are photographs
of police officers

hijacking a truck.

>> Allegedly hijacking a truck.

>> I'm offering your department
an opportunity to respond

prior to publication.

>> Thanks, but we're
internal affairs.

We don't have
to respond to anybody.

>> But we do know
about this one.

>> And?

>> It's an ongoing
investigation.

We can't make any comment.

>> Oh, come on,
give me something.

>> Nah, no comment.

>> Go away.

>> Fine. I'll see you
on the front page.

It's really easy selling
a story about dirty cops.

>> Let me see those.

See these two guys?

This guy's a cop.

The guy that was driving
the truck is his brother.

That's your story.

Find him.

>> Where?

>> Petey? Just unbutton
your blouse a little bit,

and he'll find you.

>> ( Kids playing )
>> Right here, I'm open!

>> Show me!

>> Give it up, man!

>> Yeah, all right.

>> Hey! Hey!

>> Hey, give me the ball.

>> Game's over.

Police business.

>> Aw, man.

>> I'm apprehending
a dangerous felon.

Oh, you think this is funny!

>> Maybe.

>> You're testing me today.

>> Oh, with bananas? Please.

>> You crossed over the line.

If I catch you--
>> ugh!

>> ( Kids laughing )
>> You go to jail.

>> You know it'll never happen.

>> ( Laughs ) Oh.

You suck at us.

>> I had a job.

I knew cops were watching.

I didn't know it was you!

Ouch.

>> You know, I wake up
this morning and I find out

I got a new partner,
one I don't want.

Suddenly I'm on a stakeout
where my brother's

pulling a job.

Doc knew that was your shipment.

He was pushing all the buttons,
trying to find my soft spot.

I guess he found it--
my brother.

>> Huh!

Ooh!

>> Kid: Hey, girl! Hey!

Aw, he made a basket.

>> Like that was something!

>> ( Spits ) Hey.

You ripped off my bananas.

>> Hey, you put me
in a bad spot.

I had to look the other way.

>> I never asked you
for anything.

>> Yeah, just like I never
asked you to do time for me.

>> Come on, if you'd gone
to prison, it'd have killed mom.

She expected me
to end up there.

>> And I've been paying
for it ever since.

>> Have you asked yourself
why doc came after you?

>> Yeah. The answer is you.

>> Huh?

>> ( Sighs )
What do you know

About an armored car?

>> Mom says not to tell you.

>> Consider yourself warned,
little brother.

See, in the end, the good guys
always win.

>> How you doin'?

>> Ahem.

>> Up in internal affairs,
we, uh, we hear talk

about you and bananas.

( Sniffs )
>> They're good

with my cheerios.

>> Listen, if you don't want
to talk without a lawyer

present, we understand that.

>> Yeah, besides, it's not
you that we want.

We know it's your first time.

Everybody makes mistakes.

Whatever. We want doc.

>> We want somebody
to put the finger on him.

>> Yeah, we think
you're our guy.

>> Do your own dirty work.

>> Hey, look, we understand
how you feel,

but money changed hands
in this banana thing.

>> The problem is
the press knows about it.

They're already involved,
so we gotta do something.

I want you to think it over.

Who's going down, you...

Or him?

>> ( Ding )
>> Going down?

>> ...yeah.

( Sighs ) Going down. Jesus.

>> ♪♪
>> ( Indistinct chatter )

>> Good afternoon, ladies?

How's tricks? Bah-dum-doo!

>> Hey, petey.

>> Mwah. Looking very nice.

>> How you doin'?

Good to see ya, petey.

>> Yeah, but the guys
in internal affairs said

they knew about the heist,
so I say run with the story.

Yeah.

I gotta go.

Here's the story.

>> ( Modem dialing )
>> Hey, petey.

God bless ya.

>> Joe, set me up, will ya?

>> Sure, petey.

>> You still hit like a girl.

>> Dude, bucko!

What the hell are you
doing here, huh?

>> You said to look you up.

>> How'd you get out?

Overcrowding?

Early release? What?

>> Eh, you'll laugh.

>> Not good behavior.

>> No.

Time travel.

>> ( Laughs )
You have a time machine?

>> Nah, there ain't
no time machines,

but in solitary I had
nothing but time.

So I started concentrating
on making time go faster.

I learned to speed up time.

Then, presto, I'm out!

>> Bucko, you were inside
for 20 years.

>> You just think I was.

>> ( Laughs )
>> Woman: I'm game.

>> Man: Take it easy, Joe.

>> Joe: See ya.

>> Man 2: See ya, Joe.

>> I need a job, petey.

>> No problem.

I'll get you a good job.

You ever been in a union?

>> I don't want a straight job.

Need some muscle?

>> Listen, you took care
of me inside, bucko.

I'll take care of you now.

Just give me a couple
of minutes, all right?

Do I know you?

'Cause you look familiar.

>> Uh, maybe you've
seen me around.

>> Oh, you come here often?

>> I work the area.

>> Really.

Well, you must do pretty good.

>> I've never had
any complaints.

>> How much for a blow job?

>> I'm sure a stud like you
never has to pay for it.

>> Oh, I don't mind.

There's no sweet talk.

It's a clean business
transaction.

>> You're a poet, right?

>> ( Laughs )
How much to fuck you

all night long?

>> Depends on if
I like you or not.

>> Well, let's pretend
that you don't.

>> A grand.

>> ( Whistles )
A grand.

Hey, bucko.

I want you...

To show my friend bucko here
a good time

all night long.

Longer if he wants it.

>> But, petey, I, uh...

>> Bucko has been in prison
for 20 years.

I think he's ready.

>> Okay, I get it.

End of joke.

>> You're a reporter.

What are you doing tailing me?

>> I'm interested
in your brother.

>> I liked you better
when you were a whore.

>> Hey, Doug, how you doing?

>> Hey, how you doing?

>> Hey. We're gonna make
some overtime tonight, bud.

Got a real good tip
on a smack ship.

>> Why don't you use
somebody else, okay?

>> It's an easy bust.

Hey! I don't want
to use anybody else.

You and I can hotdog
it together.

Here's the address.

Supposed to hit it
about midnight.

>> Hey, are you
still tailing me?

>> Nice of you to remember.

>> Well, come on inside.

You're scaring the neighbors.

Bucko, this is Mario,
my favorite cop.

This is bucko,
my pal and ex-con.

>> Damn it, petey,
I don't want to hear that.

I'm on duty here.

>> Oh, mom, does that
smell good!

>> It is good.

>> We've got company.

>> Yeah?

Oh! Hey, Mario!

You hungry?

>> Always hungry, Mrs. Martin.

>> Good. Hello. I'm the mama.

>> Oh, mom, this is bucko,
you know, from--

>> not the bucko who took care
of my petey!

>> Mom, how many buckos
could there be?

>> Well, give us a hug!

>> What do you want?

>> I just want to talk
to my brother.

>> Haven't you heard?

I have the right
to remain silent.

>> You know the rules.

If you're gonna fight,
you do it outside.

>> Sure.

We got two cops,
two ex-cons.

We could divide up
into good guys and bad guys.

You know, you ought to be
more careful who you

associate with.

>> Hey, I'm not associating.

I'm tailing petey, remember?

>> You put a tail
on your brother?

Your own brother?!

>> Didn't you hear?

Matt thinks I'm a bad guy.

>> You're not a bad guy,
petey, but--

>> you just called me a bad guy.

You believe this, mom?

>> Fine, you're a criminal.

That's what a bad guy is.

>> No, it's what I do.

Doesn't make me a bad guy.

>> Mom: Come on, petey.

It won't hurt to listen.

>> Are you takin' sides?

>> You know better than that.

>> Maybe you should, ma.

>> Listen, Matthew, your badge
isn't any good in here, okay?

Out, both of you, out!

>> Internal affairs
has been watching doc.

>> Good.

Hey!

>> Not good.

They caught your little stunt
with the bananas today.

Now they're telling me...

That I either give him up
or they take me down with him.

>> You were willing
to send me to prison.

Why not doc?

>> This is every
cop's nightmare.

I roll over on doc,
I'm an outcast.

I don't...

I'm not much of a cop.

>> Say a dozen "hail Marys,"
ten "our fathers,"

and go and sin no more.

>> I'm trying to do
the right thing here.

>> I tried that before.

Believe me, it's overrated.

>> Listen, petey.

I don't like a lot
of the things you've done

in the past...

But you were never afraid
to take the heat.

Even if it meant prison.

>> Well, prison might be
the easy way out.

Crossin' doc will get ugly.

>> Oh, man, it's already ugly!

He set up a drug bust
for midnight tonight.

You think I don't know
what's gonna happen?

>> Okay. I'll back you up.

It'll be like old times.

>> Yeah, we're not playing
cops and robbers here.

>> Fine. So what are you
gonna do?

>> Well, if I'm gonna be
a good cop, then...

I gotta get fitted for a wire.

>> So wear the wire.

What do you want, a hug?

>> Oh, man!

You know, next time?

I am definitely sending
you to prison.

>> You do, I'm telling mom.

You be careful.

>> ( Thunder rumbling )
>> ( Knocks )

>> Yo, come on in. Over here.

Unbutton your shirt.

>> Okay.

>> Okay, here's the deal.

>> Yeah.

>> We need incriminating
statements from doc.

We don't care if you gotta
lead him on.

>> Mm-hmm.

>> Don't worry about entrapment.

He approached you.

We'll be recording everything.

>> You got a signal
if I need ya?

>> He means, like,
a secret code,

something like that.

>> Yeah.

>> Oh. How about "help"?

You want fish
or you want shellfish?

a sick lobster there.

>> That's good.

What sane cop is gonna put
his hands in a pot of lobsters?

>> 911.

>> Yeah, there's a shooting
at the pier at Henry's seafood.

come to you.

This is more like it.

You're a true professional.

You know your rights?

>> This for me?

>> If you want it.

>> For evidence?

>> Are you in or out?

>> In.

>> Hey, kid, you can't bust me
and take the money.

I mean, come on, guys,
pick a team.

I mean, you want the money,
take the money, all right?

Just let me go.

I won't say a word.

>> You're right. Catch.

>> Aah!

>> ( Body thuds )
>> It was self-defense.

>> That's it, you're busted.

>> ( Sighs ) I'm disappointed
in you, Matt.

>> Me? You're psychotic.

>> They were shooting at us,
remember?

>> Why don't you just put
down your gun.

>> Everything okay?

>> Yeah, except for him.

Doc popped him.

>> He wasn't gonna play.

>> You wanna hear your rights?

>> Oh, am I under arrest?

>> Yeah.

>> Well, in a perfect world
you would be.

>> Luckily, we're on the case.

Give me your gun.

>> What the fuck is this?

>> Give it to me.

>> Matt, whenever we take on
a new business partner,

we always give a little test.

>> And you got an "f."

>> Goddamn it.

You didn't have to shoot him.

>> Would you rather
go to prison?

>> You can't go around
shooting cops.

>> I apologize!

Jeez.

Damn it!

Somebody saw us.

>> I didn't see anything.

>> You're too late.

What happened?

>> Drug bust went bad.

( Sighs ) Matt got hit.

Took the bastards
with him, though.

Your brother's a hero.

>> He's not a hero.

He's just dead.

>> I'll take that.

>> No, you won't.

You heard?

I always thought
it would be you.

that as a compliment.

I mean, it just really

They were lying.
