Falling Down (1993) - full transcript

Just tell him, damn it!

- Tell her to give him coffee.
- You tell her!

Give me that!

Look, get him some coffee
or get him some cookies...

- I know that!
- Give me the phone!

Hey!
Where do you think you're going?

Going home.

Officer.

The guy walked into the bushes.

I think his takes a leak,
but he never came back.

How you do, you need any help?



Are you the owner of this vehicle, sir?

That's not him. I'm tellin' you
the guy walked into the bushes.

He said he was going home.

Going home?

Gentlemen, I'm going to have to ask you
to both return to your vehicles.

But what about the car?

I'm going to radio for a tow truck
to have it removed.

Let's just shove it out of the way.
We'll get this lane moving!

Sir, sir, we're in a dangerous
environment here.

We got a lot of glass and steel
rushing by us at high speeds.

Wait a minute.

Prendergast. Downtown Robbery.
Let's go.

I'm in linoleum tile, myself.

All right.
You, back in your vehicle.



You push. I'll steer.

We do ceramics too.
Special discount for law officers.

I love 'Cops', the TV show.
Don't you watch it? I never miss it.

You're lucky you caught me.

I am?

Today's my last day as a cop.

Lucky me.

Don't touch it!

Don't touch it!
Just get this lane moving.

Okay. Sorry.

Officer?

Officer?

Oh, my God! The phone!

Come on, baby.

Watch your fingers.

Take Tucker, okay?
Take Tucker!

Hello?

Mom?

- Hello?
- Mom, can you help me open this?

Hello?

Can I get some change
for the phone, please?

No change. Have to buy something.

- Eighty-fie sen.
- What?

Eighty-fie sen.

- I don't understand.
- Eighty-fie sen!

Eighty-five cents?

It doesn't give me enough money
for the phone call.

I'll give you 50 cents.
You give me 50 cents change.

- No way.
- Yes, way.

Drink, eighty-fie sen.
You pay or go!

What's the "fie"? I don't understand "fie".
There's a "V" in the word "five".

No "V's" in china?

- Not chinese. I'm Korean.
- Whatever.

You come to my country,
you take my money

and even haven't grace to
learn speak my language?

You're Korean?

Do you have any idea how much money
my country has given your country?

How much?

I don't know. But, it's gotta be a lot.
You can bet on that.

You go now! No trouble!

No. I stay.

What do you think of that?

Jesus Christ! What is this?

The last stand on Fiji?

- Take the money! Take the money!
- What?

Take the money!

Take your hands away from your...
I can't under... Stop it!

All right.
Now speak slowly and distinctly.

Take the money!

You think I'm a thief?

No. You see, I'm not the thief.

I'm not the one charging
85 cents for a stinking soda!

You're the thief!

I'm just standing up
for my rights as a consumer.

I'm rolling back prices to 1965.
What do you think of that?

- Doughnuts. Package of six. How much?
- $1,12.

Too much.

Aspirin. Price?

- $3,40.
- Oh, please!

AA batteries. Package of four.

$4,29.

Nice try.

This whole shelf looks suspect.

One soda, 12 ounces.

Fifty sen!

Sold.

It's been a pleasure
frequenting your establishment.

Very funny.

Very, very funny.

Genuine Arizona sand,
Prendergast. Get used to it.

I bet.

Genuine Santa Monica sand's
more like it.

It's from my cat's litterbox,
but he said you could keep the lumps.

You took my stuff out first?

Heck, no. How fun would that be?

- How do I get a pen out?
- Don't need no pen. Use the cat turd.

Prendergast, it's your last day. Be careful.
Remember what happend to Forsythe?

- Forsythe got 5 minutes to retirement.
- Two minutes!

Two minutes, nothing! The guy was
on the way to his fucking car, man.

Mowed down by a runaway impound.
Nasty.

- Ironic.
- Ironic as fuck!

Remember, anything can happen today.

You know how dangerous a desk can be.

Watch out for paper cuts.

Funny, funny, funny.

Sorry.
I tried to dissuade them.

Hey, Sandra.
It's obligatory, I guess, you know.

Now, what else do they
have up their sleeve?

Nothing.

Nothing?

Are we still on for lunch?
You're not going home early or anything?

Why would I go home early?

Last day and all.

You know, I'm not superstitious.

- Come on Sandy, you ready?
- In a minute.

Come on, leave the poor
desk jockey alone.

See if you know how to start the car.

Let's not get
our pantyhose in a bind.

I'll miss you, Prendergast.

You really will? Me too.

Come on San, let's go!

- Lunch?
- Yep.

- Mammy...
- Just a second, baby.

When will we make
the strawberry cake?

Soon. I thought sundown
would be good.

Here. Not in the house.

Just a few kids. I didn't want
to do a whole big thing.

No.

Prendergast here.

- Hi.
- Hello?

- Hi, it's me.
- Hi.

I wish you were home.
Wouldn't you come home now?

What's wrong, baby?

I don't know. I just...

I got a little scared...

and I'd really like you to come home.

What is it, honey? What?

Well...

I don't know.
I was wrapping some...

some glasses up
and some things and I...

and I got really scared.

You're not doing this move
just for me, are you?

You really want to do it, don't you?

The important thing is we're together.
That's what counts.

Yeah, but you're not here.

Well, I will be soon, baby.

Say it.

- Say it!
- I'll be home soon.

No, say it!

I'll be home soon, and I love you.

I love you too.

- Feel better?
- No, I don't feel better!

♪London Bridge is falling down♪

♪Falling down, falling down♪

♪London bridge is falling down♪
Help me on.

♪My fair lady♪

You my fair lady?

♪- My fair lady.♪
- Yes.

- Bye.
- Bye-bye.

Whatcha doin' mister?

Nothing.

Yes you are man, you're
trespassing on private property.

- Trespassing?
- You're loitering too, man.

That's right.
You're loitering too.

I didn't see any signs.

Whatcha call that?

Graffiti?

No, man. That's not fucking graffiti!
That's a sign.

He can't read it, man.

I'll read it for you.
It says this is fucking private property.

No fucking trespassing.

This means fucking you!

- It says all that?
- Yeah!

Well, maybe if you wrote it in fucking
English, I could fucking understand it.

- Thinks he's being funny.
- I'm not laughing.

- I'm not either.
- Hold it, fellas.

We're getting off on the wrong foot.

This is a gangland thing, isn't it?

We're having a territorial dispute?

I mean, I've wandered into your pissing
ground or whatever the damn thing is

and you've taken the fence by my presence.
I understand that.

I mean, I wouldn't want you people
in my back yard, either.

This is your home

and your home is your home.
I respect that.

So if you would just back up
a step or two

I'll take my problems elsewhere.

Okay?

Fair enough?

- What do you think?
- He should pay a toll.

Good idea.

You should pay a toll.

Listen, fellas

I've had a rare morning.
I'm not in the mood to...

What should he pay?

How about that briefcase, man?

Good idea.

Give us your briefcase, man.

I'm not giving you
my goddamn briefcase.

Motherfucker, give us
your motherfucking briefcase!

Okay.

Okay.

I was willing to mind
my own business.

I was willing to respect your territory
and treat you like a man.

But you couldn't leave
me alone, could you?

You couldn't let a man sit here
for five minutes take a rest

on your precious piece-of-shit hill?

Okay.

Want my briefcase?
I'll get it for you, all right?

You want my briefcase?
Here's my briefcase!

Where are you going?

You forgot the briefcase!

You forgot the briefcase!

I'm going home!
Clear the path, you motherfucker!

Clear the path!

I'm going home!

How'd they do that?

- Gun!
- What?

You're leaving today, right?
I gotta get your gun.

Right.

I need your John Doe
right here, here and here.

Got time to take a statement?

I know it's your last day and you
wanna go before you get killed but...

Yeah, Brian, I'm still working here.

This guy's a little excited.

Mr. Lee, come on in.

What'd he say?

You know, I don't know.
Mr. Lee is Korean.

I'm Japanese, in case
you never bothered to notice.

Sorry.

- Mr. Lee, speak English, okay?
- Sure, sure.

Sit down.

This man will help you.
Mr. Lee owns a small market.

He was hit less than an hour ago.

Sorry, Mr. Lee, no smoking.

Okay, mr. Lee, let's just start off
with what he looked like.

White man, white shirt, tie.

- What color was his tie?
- Color?

I don't know color.
The guy attack me, okay?

He bust up my store.
I'm lucky to be alive.

Oky, okay. Just try and relax.
What did he steal from you?

Did not steal! Attack me, okay?

Say he fix my prices.
Bust up my merchandise.

He didn't rob you?

The guy crazy! I told him,
"Take my money."

He say no. He call me "thief",
then he break up my merchandise.

Then he buy a soda and take off.

He bought a soda. He paid for it?

I told you, the guy crazy.

I'm sorry, I thought
this was a robbery.

- Mr. Lee, we have to go talk to somebody else.
- Why?

You were assaulted.
This man works robberies.

Robberies?

That's right. Come on.

- Baseball bat!
- What's that?

- The guy take my baseball bat.
- You sell basebal bats?

No, keep for defense.
Under counter. De-fense.

You mean he stole your baseball bat
but paid for the soda?

This guy's discriminating.

That still doesn't count. mr. Lee.
Let's go. Thanks Prendergast.

You shoulg go to the fucking hospital, man.
Your arm might be broken!

We'll look for this guy,
so shut the fuck up!

What did this guy do?
Threaten you with his credit card?

I told you he had a baseball bat!

If this guy's still around,
we'll find him and fuck him up.

Then you go to
the fucking hospital, right?

Shut up!

Hello?

Hello?

Cut the crap. I know it's you.
What do you want?

It is you, isn't it?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's me.

You gotta stop calling me.

It's Adele's birthday.

Yes, I know it's her birthday.
What do you want?

I'm coming home.

What are you talking about?

I just...

I want you to know that
I'm coming home for her birthday.

You're not coming here.

Listen, Beth...

I gotta see you.

No.

No, you listen to me.
This is my house now. I pay the rent.

You don't even pay child support.

- You just can't walk in and out.
- Don't talk like that, Beth.

I have to come home.

I have to bring her a present.

You know you can't come here!

Hey!

It's him! It's him, man!

How's Adele?

This isn't your home anymore.

How is she?

She's doing just fine without you.

- Angie, get out the car.
- Come on, man.

- It's fucking broad daylight!
- Get out the car.
- This shit ain't worth it!

- Get the fuck out the car! Now!
- Get out of the car!

Give me one. Give me one.

- And you?
- Don't.

I'll call the police, if I have to.

Come on. Go, go, go!

- I'm coming home, Beth.
- No.

- I'm coming home.
- No.

Did you get this man?
Did you get him?

You missed.

I missed too.

No, no, don't fucking do it, man!

No, man. Fuck you, mother...

Here.

There, you see?

That's a concept.

Take some shooting lessons, asshole!

She's open.

Prendergast.

Have a seat.

Captain.

Did you hear?

The drive-by shooting?

Disgusting!

You know who's gonna
have to take the heat again

when the shit hits the fan.

You're retiring a little early.

You won't be getting
your full pension.

Yes, sir, that's right.
I won't.

This isn't because
you were wounded, is it?

Wounded?

Because, I mean...
you're behind a desk now.

Not much chance
of getting wounded there.

Look, captain, it has nothing
to do with that.

I'll make my speech.

They make me do this, you understand.

I hate to lose a good cop.

Not too late to change your mind.

Lot of good cops want to drop
the whole kit and caboodle.

And who wouldn't?

The pay stinks and you're up to your ears
in human scum 16 hours a day.

But it gets in your blood.

A lot of good cops get to the point of

slapping their badge down on this desk

and find they just can't do it.
How about you?

Will you stick with the team?

No, captain. I don't think I will.

Well...

Like I say, they make me ask.
You understand.

How are the kids, by the way?

I don't have any.

What the hell?

I'd like to take my stick
to these clerks.

- The file says...
- We lost a child.

- Lost it?
- Her. Lost her.

Yes, of course. Her.
That's rough.

Well, it can be. Yes, sir.

Still married, right?

Yes, sir, I am.

That's good.

That's good.

Oranges.

Where you going?

- I'm going home.
- Not this way.

- Why not?
- Metrorail construction, that's why not.

Go around.

Just follow your tootsies.

You sure you don't want something?
Coffee, soda, something?

No, thank you, ma'am.

I feel kind of stupid
about this wolfin.

Better safe than sorry.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

You have a restraining order
against your husband?

Ex-husband. Yeah.

He'd show up on the wrong day

or in the middle of the night,
pounding on the door.

Thing is, he has
this horrendous temper.

I didn't know if a restraining
order was a good idea

and if it'd do more harm than good.

But the judge said we should
make an example of him.

So he can't come
within 100 feet of us.

Or is it yards?
Which is it? Feet or yards?

That's up to the judge.

- Really? I thought it was a set thing.
- It's at his discretion.

That's interesting.

Does he drink?

I thought you meant the judge!

- No, I wouldn't say so.
- Do drugs?

No.

But he has a propensity for violence?

Yeah, I think you could say that.

Did he strike the little girl?

- Well, no.
- Did he strike you?

Not exactly.

Not exactly?

You know, there were times

when I thought he was going to

but I just didn't want to wait
until he got around to it.

It's hard to explain.

He could, I think.

You think?

Hello, sir. How are you today?

I'm doing all right.

- How about you?
- Me? I'm terrible.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I came down from Santa Barbara yesterday

and this friend of mine wasn't home
like I thought he was gonna be

and he owes me some money

so I have no money to go home with.

I'm almost out of gas.
I had to sleep in my car last night.

I don't suppose you have a couple
of bucks you can give me?

It would really help me out.

If you give me your address,
I'll mail it back. Honest.

- Let me see your driver's license.
- Why do you wanna see my drivers license for?

Well if your from Santa Barbara it would
have your address on it, I want it.

I don't have a driver's license.

You mean you drove all the way
from Santa Barbara without a license?

Are you a cop?

Let's see your car registration
as a matter of fact let's see your car.

All right, forget it.
Okay, just forget it!

That's a hell of a way
to treat a vet, man.

- You're an animal doctor?
- No a vet, a veteran, I was in Nam man.

What were you a little drummer boy,
you must've been 10 year's old.

I meant the Gulf,
I meant to say the Gulf.

Jesus, come on!
All I'm asking for is a little change.

I haven't eaten in three days.

Well, I mean, except for this.

Fuck it! Come on,
give me some money, man.

- Just give me some money.
- No.

How about the change in your pocket?
I don't care if it's a dime. Give it to me.

I'm not giving you any money.

- You got a cigarette?
- I don't smoke.

- Come on man, you gotta give me something.
- Why dont you try and get a job?

Hey, this is my park. I live here!

Who the fuck are you, walking
through my park carrying two bags?

You got two bags,
I don't have any. Is that fair?

What's in those bags, anyway?
Gimme one of those bags.

I could sell those bags
and eat for a week with the money.

Come on, you've got two of them.
What do you need two of them for?

You're right.

Here.

- Are you serious?
- I don't need it anymore.

All right!

All right! come on, now.
Come on. What the...

Son of a bitch!

Buenos dias, Angelina.

- Can we cut the crap this time?
- I'm telling you guys the truth, okay?

Yeah, right.

- What's up?
- She was at the drive-by shooting.

- Okay Angie, who hit your guys?
- I told you.

Yeah, we know. The big bad white man.
We're not fucking buying it.

- Who are you protecting, Angie?
- Nothing.

They put your boyfriend in the hospital.
And your boyfriend is probably dead.

Do you realize that?
He's boyriend is probably fucking dead!

- Stop saying that!
- You picked a good day to leave, I guess.

You want another 3-year-old
to get shot in the head?

Is that what you want?

Tell me the truth!

I'm telling you the truth!

It was a white guy!

- Why would a white guy go for your friends?
- I don't know! I don't know!

He attacked them on Angel's Flight Hill
with a baseball bat!

A baseball bat? Wait, wait! Hey!

Baseball bat.
What did this guy look like?

I don't know.
He looked like you except...

he was taller and had hair.

Good description, Angie!

Did he wear a white shirt and tie?

Prendergast, come over here, will you?

We gotta keep the pressure on her.
Don't interrupt. Okay?

What about the baseball bat?

- The white shirt and the tie!
- What will she think of next?

I'm sorry you're leaving, but you are.

- Sanchez listen! Listen to me!
- Check me later, babe.

Hey, Brian?

Remember that storekeeper,
the Korean guy?

- Mr. Lee?
- Come here. Come here.

Where was his place?

Let's see... Right there.

He was assaulted
sometime after 8 a.m.?

- About that.
- And the drive-by was... right the by here, right?

What's going on?

I may be nuts, but Angel's Flight Hill
is between those two spots.

- It was a classy neighborhood.
- It's a shit hole as I remember. It's gangland.

I know. What would a white guy in a shirt
and tie be doing in gangland?

Hi. Can I help you?

Yes. I'd like a ham and cheese whamlette,
an order of wham fries...

I'm sorry, we stopped serving breakfast.
We're on the lunch menu now.

I want breakfast.

We're not serving it.

So you said.

Is that the manager?

Yeah.

Could I speak to him, please?

Sure.

Rick, there's a customer
would like to speak to you.

- Yes, sir.
- Hi, I'd like some breakfast.

We stopped serving breakfast.

I know you stopped breakfast, Rick.
Sheila told me you stopped serving breakfast...

Why am I calling you by first names?
I even don't know who you are.

I still call my boss "mister" and I've been
working for him for seven and half years

but all of a sudden I walk in here, a stranger

and I'm calling you Rick and Sheila
like we're in some kind of an AA meeting.

I don't want to be your buddy, Rick.
I just want a little breakfast.

- You can call me miss Folsom, if you want to.
- Sheila!

We stop serving breakfas at 11:30.

Rick...

Have you ever heard the expression,
"The customer is always right"?

Yeah.

Yeah, well... here I am.

The customer.

That's not our policy.

You have to order something
from the lunch menu.

I don't want lunch.

I want breakfast.

Yeah, well, hey,
I'm really sorry.

Yeah, well, hey,
I'm really sorry too!

He's got a gun!

Let's get organized! Calm down!

Just calm down, everybody.
Sit down! Sit down over there!

Hey hey hey! Mister.

Where are you going?

No no no. You sit down there,
and you finish your lunch. Come on!

Everybody just... just relax
and take it easy.

Come on.

Eat your lunch. Please.

Eat your lunch.
You all need your vitamins A, B and...

Don't! It was an accident!
It was an accident!

It's the trigger, it's sensitive.
It's okay! It's all right! Just...

It's a sensitive trigger.

Rick could I have
my breakfast, please?

Yes, sir. Sheila?

- Rick? Miss Folsom?
- Yes sir?
- Yes?

You know what?

You were right.
I've changed my mind.

I'm going to have some lunch.

Could I have a double
Whammyburger with cheese...

- You getting this?
- Yes, sir.

And an order of whammy fries
and... let's see...

a choco-wham shake.

Yes, sir. Sheila, get his order.

Rick, could you
get it for me, please?

I feel comfortable now calling you Rick
after all we've been through together.

How you doing?

Enjoying your meal?

How about you, son? Is it good?

And you, ma'am? How's the food?

I think we have a critic.

I don't think she likes
the special sauce, Rick.

That's a joke.

Now, here we go.

Thank you.

See, this is what I'm talking about.

Turn around, look at that. See what I mean?
It's plump, juicy, three inches thick.

Now...

Look at this sorry,
miserable, squashed thing.

Can anybody tell me
what's wrong with this picture?

Anybody?

Anybody at all?

You guys are partners again!

No such luck, Lita.
He's moving to Lake Havasu.

- What's in Lake Havasu?
- London Bridge.

- Are you going to England?
- Arizona. They moved it to Arizona.

- Stone by stone.
- Yeah. I heard about that.

You're better off, Prendergast,
because cops get killed.

- What'd we used to get, six?
- Seven.

Two sevens.

- You all right?
- Yeah.

You sure?

What?

I'm sorry, I wasn't gonna do this.

I should just shut up.
It's none of my business.

What? Tell me.

Lake Havasu?

It's nice. We like it.

She likes it.

What'll you do, watch cactus grow?

Cacti.

She's not handling
middle age too well.

The change of life and all that,
whatever it is that is.

What about you?

Me? It's different,
because she's a woman.

What's different? I'm a woman.

Yeah, but she was once
very beautiful.

Thanks a lot!

You know what I mean.
Come on, come on.

She could've been anything.
Anything but a cop's wife.

She's high-strung.

Don't give me that queen of the hop,
homecoming queen bullshit again.

That was a long time ago.

Sandra, you have a career.

It's not easy to lose your beauty
when that's all you've got.

What about your career?

I'll be okay.

You know, even without you.

Sorry to break this up, San.

Why are you here?
We got a call.

Watch out! Hot plates!

- Hey, don't touch my gun.
- Fuck you!

You gonna love this one.
Some dickhead walked into Whammyburger

pulled out a machine gun
'cause they stop serving breakfast.

Then he paid for it and left.

- I'm sorry, Prendergast.
- He paid for it?

Yeah. Come on Sandi.
Move your buns. Let's go.

- I gotta go.
- Where was this?

Quintero and Fourth. Bye, ladies.

Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait, wait!

Do me a favor. Let me know
what this guy was wearing, okay?

What for? You trying to crack a big one
before you disappear into the desert?

Sandra, find out if he's wearing
a white shirt and tie. Okay?

Let's go, lovebirds!

- I gotta go.
- And Sandra, wait, wait, wait...

Something about my wife.
Maybe I never mentioned it.

What?

I love her.

Let's go!

For seven years, I banked here.

When I asked them for a loan,
a small loan

they told me that I was not
"economically viable".

Yeah, I banked here for seven years.
Seven years!

Excuse me. Excuse me, sir.
Excuse me.

How'd your loan work out?
Did they give you a loan?

He must be economically viable!

There's a man with a smile on his face.
He looks lika a happy customer.

That's what an economically
viable person looks like!

...economically viable. No!

Yeah, I banked here for seven years.

How much is the...

That is only $3.

Seven years!

I asked them for loan, a small loan.
You know what they told me?

I was not economically viable.

- No no no no no...
- That's enough.

- I'll buy this.
- Yes, sir. That is $3.

I'll take that.

Okay, here we come.

I'm going away now!
I'm going away, everybody!

This is what happens
if you're not economically viable!

Goodbye everybody!

Don't let this happen to you!

Bye, everybody! Bye!

Don't forget me.

I'm sorry.

We are take off now.

You are? Really?

No, it doesn't look like
your husband's gonna show.

He doesn't?

He probably realized he could get
into trouble if he harassed you.

Well, I think you should call
your lawyer and tell him about it.

Well, it's one of those services.
I didn't have much money.

Well, have them call your husband's
lawyer, make it official, you know.

In the meantime, lock up.

Well, if anything else happens,
give us a call. Okay?

- Okay, thanks.
- Sure thing.

Excuse me. Hey, excuse me!

I don't know if you
have noticed it or not

but there are other people
waiting to use the phone here.

- There are?
- Yeah.

- There's other people who want to use the phone?
- That's right, you selfish asshole.

Jeez, that's too bad,
because you know what?

I think it's out of order.

Yeah, Prendergast.

- Hi, it's me.
- Hi.

He's eating and resting
comfortably now.

- Who is?
- Mr. Peepers.

- Good!
- Honey I'm sorry about before.

I really blew my top...
I don't know, just...

That's okay, honey.
Could you hold on just one second?

- Prendergast.
- White shirt and tie.

- Sandra, could you hold on one second?
- I gotta go.

Just one second.
It's very important.

Detective Torres! Excuse me.

We have about 7 million people
waiting to make a statement.

Honey, let me call you
right back, okay?

What's wrong?
What are you doing?

Nothing's wrong. I'm doing anything.
What do you mean?

- Well you come home then.
- I can't honey.

It's your last day.
What are they going to do, fire you?

There's a lot of red tape.
As soon as I get done, I can go home.

I'll call you in a while, okay?

Wait a minute. Wait a minute...
Make a list...

- A list?
- We need a boneless chicken skinless.

Red peppers not green, red.

Honey, hold on one second.

- Sandra...
- I am tying up the phone here.

Just listen for once
in your life, okay?

Now, a gang girl at the drive-by said
this morning a white man in a shirt and tie

attacked her homeboys
with a baseball bat.

I think somebody's let
that dog off the leash.

I think you've got last-day-itis.

This man was not swinging a baseball bat.
He has a gym bag full of guns.

- A gym bag?
- Yeah.

Look, you asked me to tell you
what he wore. I gotta run.

We have to canvass the neighborhood.

Sandra, just one more second.

Please. It's important.

- Honey, why don't you go to the store, okay?
- Why?

It's my last day.

The guys might want to have
a send off or something.

What're they gonna do?
Get some broad

with tassels dangling,
dancing on your desk or something?

Course not.

Look bastard, while you have
been playing cop

- I'm at home planning your retirement.
- I know that.

It's over. The sooner
you get that, the better.

You are no longer
in the law-enforcement business.

Now, I will expect you
at the usual time. Capito?

Sandra, are you mad at me?

- No, I hate you, but I'm not mad.
- You retiring too as well?

Just... Just don't leave
without saying goodbye.

Goodbye.

Okay. If you go up
against this guy...

be careful.

- Hi.
- Hi.

I'm Nick.

What can I do you for?

I'm just looking for
some hiking boots.

Well, well. Hiking boots?

Let's see what we got.

These here are the top of the line.

Scientifically engineered
and all that crap.

Guaranteed by some Sierra Club
asshole not to hurt a chipmunk

if you step on it.

Personally, I think they're
for pussies and faggots!

Now these are Vietnam jungle boots.

Cost half as much,
last twice as long and are great

for stomping queers!

'Course when you're done, you gotta
clean out the waffle with a stick

but, what the hell, you can't
have everything, right?

Am I right or wrong?

Forget it.

Come on, let's go.

Have a nice day, fellas!

Y'all come back now, you hear?

You got a problem, buddy?

You got the problem!

- No, got the problem, buddy!
- Read the sign!

"I reserve the right."

Now take a hike.

Make me.

Take it easy, Mary.
Take it easy.

Oh, Jesus!

Come on, make your play.
Make your play.

Would you just come on!
I don't need this shit today.

Fucking redneck!

Fascist!

Fucking faggots!

You believe this shit?

Jesus!

Alternate lifestyle, my ass!

Know what those pumpkins do
with each other when they're alone!

And what about the muff divers?
Think about it.

- Sergeant Prendergast.
- She don't have to talk to you!

What do you want? I admitted it was a gang!
What it does wrong with me?

She don't have to say a word!

Angie, I know it was a white guy.
We gotta talk. It's important. Come on.

How many guns were in the gym bag?

I don't know what you're talking about.
I didn't see no gym bag!

Agelina!

The white guy took it, right?
A lot more people could get hurt.

Now help me out.

The bag was already in the car
when I got in.

How many guns were in it?

I don't know.

Lots of guns.

They got all the guns
in the fucking world.

Good?

- Hi.
- Hi. Can I help you?

Police officer.
I'm looking for a man.

Are you now?

Late 30s, white shirt and tie

he'd be carrying a gym bag.

What's the police scanner for?

My own personal amusement.

- So have you seen anyone like I've described?
- Nope.

- Okay, thanks.
- Listen.

Tell me something.

Why don't they call you guys

officer-esses?

I beg your pardon?

You know, like actress?
Like that?

Something to signify... you know.

I guess they feel that a police officer
is a police officer

not a... "you know".

Thanks for your cooperation, sir.

Sorry I couldn't be of
more help, officer-ess.

Why'd you do that?

There's something I wanna show you.

Come on, I'm not gonna turn you in.
I'm your friend!

Come on.

I don't bring just anybody back here.

This is my own private stash.

I got some great stuff here.

World war I. Good shape.

Speaking of gas, wait a minute.

Wait just a minute.

You know what was in this?

Zyklon-B.

You remember?

What the Nazis had?

Listen.

Empty.

This was used, man.

This was actually used.

I wonder how many kikes
this little can took out.

Think about it. Here.

Why are you showing me this?

I'm not.

That's just for fun.
You can keep that.

This is what I want to show you.

The real thing.

Heat-seeking, shoulder-fired.
It's fucking disposable!

You can take out a jumbo-jet
with one of these monkeys.

It's for you.

I want you to have it.

- Why?
- Because I'm with you.

Don't you get it?

I was listened to the police scanner.
I heard about Whammyburger.

Fucking fantastic!

It's a bunch of niggers, right?
On TV, it's always nice little white kids.

But when you go in there, it's nothing
but a bunch of fucking niggers!

And now they'll spit on your food
if you're not nice to.

I know. I know all about it.

I'm with you.

We're the same, you and me.

We're the same. Don't you see?

We are not the same.

I'm an American.
You're a sick asshole.

What kind of vigilante are you?

I am not a vigilante.

I'm just trying to get home
for my little girl's birthday.

And if everybody will stay out of my way,
then nobody will get hurt.

Fuck you!

Who the fuck are you?
Are you fucking with me?

I am just disagreeing with you!

In America, we have freedom of speech,
the right to disagree!

Fuck you and your freedom!

Who the fuck are you?

You fuck! You faggot fuck!

Gonna take my rocket.

I ought to shoot you
right now, motherfucker!

Now turn around!

Now lean on that counter!
Go on, lean on it!

Fuck!

Look at this shit!

What is this doing in there?

- Faggot shit!
- No!

You want freedom?
I'll give you fucking freedom!

Further back. Feet farther back.

Spread them out. Farther.

You're going to jail, motherfucker!
How's that for freedom?

Freedom to get fucked up the ass
by some big buck nigger.

Give me your hand.
Put it back here. Come on!

He's gonna be right behind you,
just like this.

Think about it.
You gonna like that, faggot?

You gonna like that, you faggot fuck?
Give me your other hand. Come on!

- I can't.
- Why not?

Gravity.

Gravity?
What the fuck does that mean?

I'll fall down.

Now give me your other hand!
Give it to me now!

Give it to me! Give it to me!

Come on. come on.

Give it to me. Give it to me.

Give it to me. Give it to me.

Give it to me. Come on.
Come on. Come on...

This isn't one of mine.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Good! Good! Freedom of religion.

Now you get the swing of it!

Feels good to exercise
your rights, doesn't it?.

Go ahead. I'm listening.

That is we got a nutcase
with a bag full of guns.

He's in Hollywood right now,
he's heading west.

What do you think he's up to?

I don't know, but he's up to
a lot of trouble. I can tell you that.

Never mind Prendergast, we've got
a hallway full of suspects.

It wasn't a gang thing.
I mean the girl Angelina.

- I can tell you that.
- The girl Angelina is a tramp and a liar.

We don't appreciate you not stick your
nose into our investigation, Prendergast.

I've got a positive I.D.
on the gym bag, okay?

Prendergast...

What's this?

A gym bag.

Does this mean you're
putting me under arrest?

You guys take off.

You know, Prendergast,
I gave you that speech earlier

because like I said that's regulations.
They make me do it.

This one's from me.
I've never liked you.

You wanna know why? You don't curse.
I don't trust a man who doesn't curse.

Not a "fuck" or a "shit" in all these years.
Real men curse, Prendergast.

And I especially don't like a man
I commanded who's afraid to hit the street.

- It's bad for morale.
- I'm not afraid to hit or anything okay?

Get back behind that desk
where you belong

and don't waste any more of my time
pretending you're a cop.

Somebody in a white shirt and tie shot up
a phone booth near the Whammyburger.

- Did you hear me?
- Yeah, I heard you.

Right about here, right?

How did you know?

He got the bag of guns
at the drive-by.

Then you were right.

Yeah. Excuse me.

- What is wrong with you?
- Me?

I'm a coward, the captain told me.
And you wanna get outta my way.

Hey, look. It is your own fault.

You let everybody think that you spooky
all the time, when it was your wife.

I know she made you
get off the street.

What happens between me and my wife
is nobody's business but mine, Sandra!

Sorry, I've been
just a queen bitch all day.

She didn't make me get off the street.
I have come home late one night

and found her sitting
in the dark stairs in the wall.

She got do anything,
but thought I'd been killed.

She thought I was a ghost.
I had to chase her all over the house.

- I'm sorry.
- Forget it.

- Where are you going?
- See if I can earn my last day's pay.

Let me go with you.

I thought you were on duty.

What do you say, partner?

Fuck them!

Go!

Hello?

So, who were you talking
to a while ago?

Just you're trying to scare me.

Am I succeeding?

No, you're not succeeding.
So you just might as well stop it, okay?

And you're not scaring me
out of my own house.

And you're not coming here.

But I am. I'm on my way.
You can count on that.

I've passed the point
of no return, Beth.

Do you know when that is?

That's the point in a journey

where it's longer to go back
to the beginning

than it is to continue to the end.

It's like...

Remember when those
astronauts got in trouble?

They were going to the Moon
and something went wrong.

And somebody screw up.

They had to get back to Earth

but they had passed
the point of no return.

So they had to go all the way
around the Moon to get back

and they were out of contact for hours.

Everybody waited breathlessly to see
if a bunch of dead guys in a can

would pop out the other side.

And... That's me.

On the other side of the Moon now

out of contact

and everybody's just going
to have to wait till I pop out.

The police are here.

Did you know, Beth

that in certain South American
countries it's still legal

to kill your wife if she insults you?

They're here right now.
I'm looking at one right now.

Put him on the phone.

- What are we gonna do?
- Talk to the Korean guy.

Then we just start banging on doors.

What is it?

Prendergast, where are you going?

I'll be right back.

Prendergast, I'm sure the guy
will let you use his bathroom.

Prendergast, what are you doing?

Sandra!

- I know who this guy is!
- Who is he?

He had a personalized license plate.
What the hell was it?

It said "D-Fens".

Defense?

D-dash-F-E-N-S. "D-Fens".

They said he was on his way home.
Go check out his address.

Mr. Lee!

De-fense!

Honey, honey. No, no.

- Hold it! Back up there!
- All right!

You dumb bitch! You cut me off!
What's the matter with you!

Move back! Out of the way!

What are you, a moron?

Come on, if I wanted to be in a parking lot,
I'd buy a ticket, you dumb bitch!

Where do you think you're going?
You can't come this way.

What are you doing to the street?

We're fixin it!
What the hell does it look like?

Two days ago, it was fine.

You're telling me
it fell apart in two days?

Well, I guess so.

Pardon me, but that's bullshit!

I want to know
what's wrong with the street.

See, I don't think anything's
wrong with the street.

I think you're just trying to justify
your inflated budgets.

- Are you nuts?
- No, I know how it works.

If you don't spend your budget
that you projected this year

they won't give you
the same amount next year.

I want you to admit there's
nothing's wrong with the street!

Fuck you, pal!

You're not gonna hold us hostage
with these yellow lights on these big trucks.

Look, I'm just here to keep people
from falling in. That's all.

I want to hear it from you.

What's wrong with the street?

I don't know. I really don't know.
I mean... I think it's a sewer job.

You're lying.

What's wrong with the street?

Nothing.

I knew it.

See, I knew it was fine.

But I'll give you something to fix.

- Oh, Jesus... What the hell... Goddamn!
- Here!

Hey, Charlie! Please, man!

Charlie, we got a goddamn nut here!

Fucking guy back there with a bazooka!

You gotta pull that thing off.

- What thing?
- That thing.

Then pull on both ends.
It gets bigger.

- Like this?
- Yeah.

Now flip that thing up.
It's kind like your aimer.

- How do you know about this?
- I saw it on TV.

What's the name of the movie?

What's the movie you're making?

'Under Construction'. You like it?

Yeah. It's all right.
Where's the cameras?

The cameras are on.
Just stand back.

What do I do now?

Well, just look through the aimer,
what you aiming at.

What's you aiming at?

That a...

That yellow monster down there.

Yeah, well.. Look at it
and pull the trigger. It's really easy.

- Where is the trigger?
- That one right there.

But aim first, man.

Look out!

- Nothing happened.
- Must have been a dud or something.

Cool, man!

What is it? I'll sic the dog on you!

Police officers, ma'am.

How are you?

Where's the dog?

He's dead.

- What is it?
- We need to ask some questions.

Just a few questions, ma'am.

What kind of questions?

Do you have a warrant to coming here?

You invited us in.

Now I'm inviting you out.

What relation are you
to man named William Foster?

What kind of thing is that you're saying?
He's my son. I don't want you here.

Would you look at this?
This is really amazing. This is amazing!

Does he have another house or apartment,
another place he might call home?

Now this is a what?

- A dragon?
- Don't touch that!

No!

Why would he do that?
This is his home.

- What is this?
- I want you to go now, please
- Did this one melt?

- That one.
- No.

It's a giraffe, drinking.

Now, of all of these,
which is your very favorite?

Well...

Right now, I think this skunk.

That's lovely.

That's not paint.

- You know, his stripe.
- It isn't?

It might be, but it's not painted on.

It's in the glass.

What the hell?

He must be the groundskeeper.

Well, if he is, he's out of uniform.
Hey, you there!

What are you doing there?

Just passing through.

Nobody said you could play through.
Get off my hole.

Frank, he said he was passing through.
Passing through.

He's not even a member.
Look how he's dressed.

Get off my golf course!

I am!

Go back the way you came!

Frank listen, I don't like his looks.
Leave him alone.

What am I paying fucking dues for?
This is my golf course!

If I want to play here.
I will play here!

If he gets hit with my Titleist,
that's his fucking problem!

Don't yell at me.
I'm just here playing with you...

- For Christ sake! That's the boy...
- Fore!

Fore!

- Five!
- Wait a minute!

What the hell you trying to do?
Kill me with a golf ball?

Sirs, it's not enough you got all this beautiful
acres fanced in for your little game?

But you had to kill me
with a golf ball?

You should have children playing here.
You should families have picnics.

You should have a goddamn petting zoo!

But instead you've got these stupid little electric
carts for you old men with nothing better to do!

Frank, what's wrong? Frank!

Frank, you're okay?

Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

- I gotta get some help!
- What's wrong with you?

- Help!
- Your heart?

Something's wrong with your heart?
What can I do?

- Pills! Pills!
- Pills?

Where are your pills?

Cart, cart.

Call the cops! Call the paramedics!
My friend just had a heart attack!

Well, I guess you're out of luck, aren't you?
Your little cart's gonna drown.

Now aren't you sorry you didn't
let me pass through your golf course?

Yeah. Now you're gonna die wearing
that stupid little hat. How does it feel?

This is his room.

You're a very neat and tidy lady.

He cleans his own room.

- Now don't make me call you a liar.
- No.

If he wasn't at work,
I'd be afraid to set foot in here.

What's he been doing lately?

Same as ever.

Building important things
to protect us from the communists.

He works at Notec.

The defense plant.

D-Fens.

Won't you call Notec
and see if you can get him?

So what's going on with your son?

- How do you mean?
- You know exactly what I mean.

Sometimes he sits through
an entire meal without saying a word.

He just keeps shovels food into
his mouth like a some kind of machine.

I get so nervous...

I can't swallow.

I'll sit there with
the same piece of food in my mouth.

I have to spit it out on the plate.

When I do, he looks at me
like he'd like to kill me.

Don't tell him that I said that.

I promise I won't.

I try not to be a burden.
I'm not just talking financial.

How could you be a burden to anyone?

Now, if William, or Bill,
as I like to call him...

He likes Bill. I call him Bill too.

If Bill said he was going home

could he have meant
where his wife and child live?

Ex-wife. We shouldn't be in here.

Ex-wife, right. Elizabeth.
What's her name again or maiden name?

Trevino. She was part Italian.
You know how goes with them.

- Where's Elizabeth now?
- I wouldn't know.

You mean you don't know
where your grandchild lives?

He doesn't want me to know where she is.
He blames me for what happened.

What's the word?

- He was fired over a month ago.
- What?

Where has he been going every day?

Where has he been eating his lunch?

Why are you putting
barbed wire on that fence?

Is it a kind of joke?

Is this how you rich
people amused yourself?

You put barbed wire on the fence so
innocent people like me can cut our hands?

No, please. I'm the caretaker.

It's just a barbecue. That's all.

Dr. Ashcroft has let us do this before.

You don't live here?

Is it really necessary to tell them?

Tell who?

Altmore Security.

- Aren't you Altmore Security?
- No. No.

No, please!

It's okay, honey. It's okay, baby.

Doctor lives here?
What kind of doctor lives here?

Plastic surgeon.

Plastic surgery bought all this?

Yes, I'm in the wrong racket.

Are there correspondence courses
in plastic surgery?

I lost my job.

Actually, I didn't lose it.
It lost me.

I'm overeducated, underskilled...

Maybe it's the other way around.
I forget.

And I'm obsolete.

I'm not economically viable.

I can't even support my own kid.

Oh gee... Are you hurt? I'm sorry.

I didn't hurt you, honey. I'm sorry.
I didn't hurt you, sweetheart...

It's all right. It's all right.

It's your hand.

You cut your hand.

It's my hand.

- Please take me with you.
- No!

They won't do anything
as long as I'm with you.

Just please let them go.

What do you think?
You think I want to hurt your family?

I have a family of my own.

You don't believe me?

We believe you.

That's where I'm going.
I'm going home to see my family.

It's my little girl's birthday today.

We were gonna have a barbecue,
like you guys

and she was gonna play outside

and my wife would hold my hand

and talk about grownup things.

And then when it got dark

we'd all go to sleep together.

We'd all sleep together in the dark.

And everything

would be just like it was before.

You can't leave. Wait a minute.
You've got to believe me.

You don't know him.
Something's happened to him.

Lady, it doesn't take all day
to drive from Pasadena to Venice.

That doesn't constitute
a threatening phone call.

The guy was talking about
'Star Trek' or something.

- He's just getting a big kick out of scaring you.
- Please don't leave.

Look, there's only one thing
you can do to really feel safer.

Next time there's a proposition
on the ballot

to cut the number of patrol cars
on the street, you'll vote no, okay?

Have a nice day.

What have you found so far?

No luck on Foster-Trevino.

Go straight to the maiden name.

I've got something
on an Army-Navy store.

- Where?
- Here.

Jesus, Prendergast, I was there!

That guy was a prick.

- You know what else he was?
- What?

Murdered. They found him stuffed
in his own display case.

Oh, my God!

Here, I'll help you.

- Hello?
- You know what they did?

They turned our ice-cream parlor into some kind
of a Southwest American, New Age kind of thing.

I wanna to buy Adele a rocking horse.

All I could find was a unicorn
with an Indian on top of it.

Can you believe that, Elizabeth?
Can you believe it?

Come on!

Where are we going?
When's my birthday?

Some G.I. Joe gave a geezer
a heart attack at the golf course

and accosted a family
right next door.

A G.I. Joe?

He's wearing the kind of jacket
you find in an Army-Navy store.

I found her! Trevino, Elizabeth.

Don't tell me. Venice.

How'd you know that?

Where else would an Italian move to?

Look what I got.

We got a puppy. We got a puppy.

♪Happy birthday to you♪

♪Happy birthday to you♪

Hi, puppy!

No answer at the ex-wife.

- You send the cavalry?
- No, Pacific Division are pricks.

They said they can't send units
to the same address

three times in one day
to comfort some hysterical woman.

- What do you want to do?
- Go to Venice. Let's go.

Get it. Would it grab it.

- Prendergast here.
- Who the fuck is this?

Shit. It's your wife.

Oh, boy. Hon?

Yeah, "hon". I know who that was!

Listen, mr. Peepers just scratched
the shit out of me

and I'm bleeding like a stuck pig.

Listen honey, something
important's come up. All right?

What am I? Dog vomit?

Your wife tells you
she's bleeding to death

and you say something
important has come up?

- When are you coming home?
- I don't know.

Don't tell me you don't know.

I want to know when the hell
you're coming home, now!

Amanda, shut up!

Did you hear me? Shut up!

I'll get home when I'm finished,
not a second before. Is that clear?

Is that clear?

What...

You don't have to bite my head off.

And you have dinner ready
and waiting for me, okay?

And Amanda...

And leave the skin on the chicken.
All right?

Okay. Okay.

Goodbye.

Shit!

Let's go!

Surprise!

I'm really sorry, Prendergast!

We tried and tried, but could not fit
your fucking name on the cake!

Congratulations.
You made it out alive!

- Listen, listen.
- All right, hold it, hold it.

Ladies and gentlemen, the moment
you have all been waiting for.

This afternoon's entertainment,
miss Suzie!

Suzie Q!

Do your thing!

Is this the retiring boy?

Wait, wait! This is great, guys.

This is great.
I appreciate it, but I can't stay.

Jesus! Prendergast, what's your problem?
You afraid of women too?

I don't blame him.
You ever met his wife?

What did you say?

- What?
- What did you say?

- Nothing.
- Prendergast, we don't have time for this.

You're right.

Come on.

Ready, honey?

♪Happy birthday to you♪

♪Happy birthday to you♪

No cake for you?

If she doesn't want it,
don't force her.

Okay honey, you can have the teddy.

Time to go horsy!

It's okay. Horsy! It's okay honey.

Giddyap, giddyap.

- She doesn't want to.
- Just put her on the horse!

There we go! Horsy ride.
Giddyap, giddyap.

She doesn't want to.

- Put her on the horse!
- You can't force her like that.

I bought her the goddamn horse.

Here we go! Horsy ride.

You're scaring her.
I want you to stop this.

Come on, honey.
It's your birthday. It's the pier.

It's your favorite place.
You love the pier.

What did you expect?
Why do you do this? I...

All right. Take the back.

Freeze!

Sandra...

You okay?

- I'm all right.
- Somebody get an ambulance.

Get an ambulance! Call 911!
Get an ambulance!

Tell them an officer's been shot!
Go, go, go! Get an ambulance!

Be careful!

Go get the bastard!

He's still dressed like G.I. Joe!

Daddy! Mommy, look! Daddy!

Hi, honey.
I thought I'd find you here.

Leave us alone!

What? I can't talk to my wife?

I'm not your wife anymore.

No? Sugar, does this ring a bell?
"Till death do us part"?

Do you remember that?

- I'm sorry. Sorry, sorry.
- Oh God! What are you doing?

What do you thnik I'm doing? I'm coming
home from a hard day at the office.

God bless the working stiffs!

No Bill... Please leave her alone!

Adele?

You're so big!

How'd you get so big?

I missed it.

They stole it from me, honey.

Don't you worry. They're not
gonna take it anymore.

Bill, listen, please.

You've got to stop this.

You need help.

You're sick.

Sick?

You wanna see sick?

Take a walk around this town.
That's sick.

You ain't kidding.

Would you believe it
that I used to fish right here?

This very spot?

Now they tell you
"Don't eat the fish. It's poisonous."

You can't even swim in the water.

It'll give you some kind
of bacterial infection.

So... How's that for sick?

I'm having a private moment with my family.
I'd like you to leave me alone.

I'm leaving soon.

I'm retiring to Arizona.
Lake Havasu city.

You've ever been there?

That's not what I mean!

They call it a lake, but it's really
just a big bowl of muddy water.

But the wife thinks it's paradise.

Everybody has their own idea
of what paradise is.

Take me, for instance.

You know what I thought paradise was?

- What?
- If you'll excuse me.

Making babies.

Ain't that a kick?
Making babies.

This your little girl?

Beautiful. Beautiful...

She's special.

You know, my wife never was
cut out for motherhood.

She did it all for me.

Went through all that pain,
lost her figure, for me.

Then the kid went to sleep
one night, never woke up.

They called it
"Infant Death Syndrome".

But she wasn't an infant.
It was very strange.
She was 2 years old.

She was a big girl.

She was our baby.

Here, darling, this is for you.
Here you go. Here you go...

What can you do?

If she'd been hit
by a drunk driver... you know...

But who do you blame
when they just don't wake up?

Thank you, sweetheart.

There's a guy with a gun!

No! Don't!

Elizabeth, no!

Freeze! You're under arrest!

- Elizabeth!
- Elizabeth get out of here and go on!

- Elizabeth!
- Freeze!

What were you gonna do?

I don't know! I don't
know what I'm gonna to do.

Guys like you always say they
don't know what gonna to do.

You know exactly what you were gonna do.
You're gonna kill your wife and child!

- No...
- Yeah!

Then it'd be too late to turn back.
It'd be easy to turn and go around yourself.

Let's go meet some nice policemen.
They're good guys. Come on, let's go.

- I'm the bad guy?
- Yeah.

How did that happen?

I did everything they told me to.

Did you know I build missiles?

I help to protect America.

You should be rewarded for that.

Instead, they give it to
the plastic surgeon. They lied to me.

Is that what this is about?
You're angry because you got lied to?

Is that why my chicken dinner's
drying out in the oven?

They lie to everybody.
They lie to the fish!

That doesn't give you any special
right to do what you did today.

The only thing that makes you special
is that little girl. Now, let's go.

Let's go!

Sure was hot today, wasn't it?

He has a gun! The end of the pier!

Keep this crowd back!
Let's get some backup!

You know, I got a gun.

In my pocket.

I got lots of guns.

Stay there. Don't move.

You wanna draw?

Let's not. Let's call it a day.

Now come on.

It's perfect.

Showdown between the sheriff
and the bad guy?

It's beautiful.

On three.

This doesn't have to be the end, Bill.
You have a choice.

My little girl is dead.
I don't have a choice.

You have a choice!

No, you have two choices:

I can kill you...

or you can kill me

and my little girl
can get the insurance.

- One...
- Don't you wanna see her grow up?

Behind bars?

- Two...
- Don't do this. Please.

- Let's go!
- Three.

I would have got you.

What cooperation was there
between Pacific Division and Downtown?

Not to denigrate
the Venice Police Department

but it was one of our fellows
that put this together.

Prendergast!

This is sergeant Prendergast.
Damn fine work, Prendergast.

Fuck you, captain Yardley.
Fuck you very much!

I can't believe...
Did he just say that?

You're welcome.

- You still here?
- Afraid so.

We've stabilized her.
She'll be all right.

I'll see you at the hospital.

How are you doing?

I haven't told her yet.

Shit!

It's her birthday.
What should I do?

Tell her tomorrow.

Let her have her little party.

- What's your name, darling?
- Adele.

Adele? That's a nice name.

If I had a little girl,
I'd want her to be named Adele.

- What's yours?
- Mine?

My name is mud.

Your name is not mud.

Well, it will be.
Once my wife finds out that...

I'm still a cop.

Excuse me.

Sergeant just signed us out.

All right, let's eat.
Where you wanna go?

Let's go around the corner
and get one of those...

Look what I got!

Just call him "Hi, Puppy".

Hi, Puppy.

Hi, Puppy.

There we are!
We got everybody there.

We got everybody...
