Fuzz (1972) - full transcript

[Train approaching]

[Policeman
blowing whistle]

What'd she say?

Hi, Bruce.
How are you?

[Men talking]

[Man speaking Spanish]

Ok, ok, so you
can't read English.

[Speaking Spanish]

I can't get through
to him at all.

[Speaking Spanish]

Can you call
a friend?



Here's a list of
your rights in Spanish.

Ma'am, miss, miss,
can I help you?

Those are your rights.

¿Comprendes?

No read español.

Look, is Gomez
in the building?

I don't know,
sarge.

Will you go find him

and get him
to talk to this guy?

Yes, miss,
can I help you?

Um, detective Parker.

Is he expecting you?
Yes.

Your name?

Oh. Eileen McHenry.



Officer: Gomez! Gomez?

[Speaking Spanish]

¿Hablos español,
señorita?

Officer: Gomez!

No, I'm sorry.

The line's busy.

Will you
have a seat?

Ok.

Gomez?

14 muggings, 3 rapes,

a knifing
on water street,

and 6 assorted
burglaries.

Who needs you guys?

This squad room
needs US guys.

This squad room
is dingy and grimy.

You're screwing up
the whole joint.

We won't be able
to find anything

till a week
after you're gone.

We do a thorough job.

Yeah. We didn't
ask to come here.

You think we got
nothin' better to do

than smear
around here all day?

Yeah, you think this

is an interesting
job or something?

It's a boring job.

Everything
is apple green.

Ha. You think
that's interesting?

The ceiling is apple green,

them stairways
is apple green,

ho, ho! Oh, that's some
interesting job all right.

Yeah, last month,
we were at faneuil hall.

That was
an interesting job.

What?

Faneuil hall?

That was the best
job we ever had.

Every one
of them markets.

You know them
markets in there.

Every one
of them markets

was a different
color.

That was a good job.

Yeah.
This is a crappy job.

It's crappy,
and it's boring.

Slobs.

How's that?

Nothing.

What department you
guys from anyway?

Public works.

Maintenance...

Both: And repair.

Hey! Where's my lawyer?

Another county
heard from...

You said he was
on his way.

He is on his way.
Shut up!

Why don't you guys
paint this place

in June instead
of November

when all the windows
are closed?

What's the matter?

You're stinking up
the joint.

That's what's
the matter.

It stunk in here
even before we got here.

I'll tell you guys
one thing,

you'd never make it
in the sistine chapel.

[Telephone ringing]

Son of a bitch!

87th squad.
Detective meyer.

Man: Parks commissioner
Cooper will be killed

unless I receive $5,000
before noon tomorrow.

More later.

What?

[Dial tone]

Hi, Willis, what's
with our friend?

I stopped for some
coffee on my way home.

I'm standin'
at the counter

waitin' to pay my check,

and I feel somebody's
hand in my back pocket.

Guess who it is.

Who?

It's Lewis here.

I don't understand you.

Best damn pickpocket
in the precinct,

and he chooses
a cop for a Mark.

So you had
your back to me.

So I made a mistake.
What do you want?

Oh, man.
You made a big mistake.

Hey, it ain't
that funny, you know.

I think it's funny.
To me, it's funny.

Hi. How are ya?

Man: You don't need this.
Copy it from the last one.

So what in hell
were you doin'

at the back door
of that supermarket?

I was...

Yeah?

Yeah, what?

What's your answer?

I forgot the question.

Yeah, so did I.

What were you doin'
at the back of...

Miss McHenry.
Yes.

Parker will be
right with you.

Thank you.

I know, I know.
What do you think, Steve?

Hell, I don't know.

He ask for anybody
in particular?

No. He just
started talkin'

the minute
I told him it was me.

Well,
maybe it's a crank.

Could be, but I don't know.
I don't know.

I really don't.

Byrnes: Why pick on US?

Well, the first
time you don't

pay any attention
to these goddamn things,

that's when
somethin' happens.

You really
worried about it?

Look, I admit it
sounds like a crank,

but it scared
the hell out of me.

Well...

I'm gettin'
out of here.

I'll call commissioner Cooper
as soon as I get home.

Anybody wants me,
that's where I'll be.

Good.
Who's relieving?

Uh...

Kling...
Kling and brown.

Yeah, well,
have them check with me

as soon as they get in.

I hope it's a crank.

So do I.

What the hell
are you supposed to be?

What the hell do you
think I'm supposed to be?

I'm supposed
to be a bum.

Why?

Because they're settin'
fire to bums downtown.

I figured i'd
dress up like a bum--

anybody want coffee?

No, we don't want
any of your coffee.

What the hell
are you supposed to be?

A bum, you schmuck.

There's such a thing
as carrying

an impersonation
too damn far.

Want a cup of coffee?

No, no. I'm not gonna
go around with you

in those filthy clothes.
Are you kidding?

Did you call your wife?

No, why?

'Cause you haven't
called her in over an hour,

and if you don't call her,
she doesn't feed ya.

Oh, come on. Uhh.

You're married
to a yenta.

Don't remind me.

Mm-hmm.

Those are filthy clothes.

Ho ho ho!

Filthy. They're really--

I've seen dirty clothes.
That's it.

Good night,
sweetheart.

See you later, Bert.

Yeah, bye.

Look at
these prints there.

This woman's got prints
like an armadillo.

No wonder
she's a pickpocket.

[Rings]

Ever see any prints
like that before?

87th squad.
Kling here.

Man: You've undoubtedly
decided by now

that I'm a crank.

Look at that.
Huh.

I am not.

Who is this?

I was quite serious
about what I promised.

Parks commissioner
Cooper will be killed

unless I receive $5,000
by noon tomorrow.

This is how I want it.

Have you got a pencil?

Mister, why'd
you pick on US?

Because you're inept.

What?

Pencil ready?

Uh, yeah, yeah.
Go ahead.

I want the money
in 5s and 10s.

Need I mention,
they must not be marked?

Mister, do you know
what extortion is?

I know what it is.

Don't try keeping me
on the line.

I plan to hang up
long before

you can effect a trace.

Do you know the penalty
for extortion, sir?

[Click, dial tone]

Well, what does he care?
He hung up.

But he'll call back.

If there's one thing
I know about kooks

is that they
always call back,

and this time we'll
be ready for him.

Provided it's
a nice long call,

and provided he doesn't go
through your mother-in-law.

Why don't we give it
the old college try, huh?

[Telephone ringing]

Hey, look, we've got
some ding-a-ling

who's calling on 3, so put
him through the system...

Hey, what was it
he said we were?

The dude said
we were inept.

Ha ha ha.

Yeah, that's
what I thought he said.

Thanks for holdin' this.

Oh! Oh, god.
This night work

is just killin'
my poor back.

Hey, you know
what I'll tell you

about some guys
like that?

Every time they do
this kind of strike--

I saw it outside Detroit
in a movie one time.

Who knows
what he's doing now.

Hey, you guys. Uh...

Bert, meet Eileen McHenry.

Artie brown, Bert kling.

Hello. Hi.

Just showin' her
around the place.

My desk right there,

you can use the one
right behind it, ok?

Oh, good. Thanks.

Uh, I'll just
take off my coat.

Can I hang it here?

May I help you
with your coat?

Watch out you don't
get paint all over you.

The place
is really a mess.

[Telephone rings]

Anyway, Eileen's up here
on special assignment.

She's a decoy
for my rapist.

The rapist?

Yeah, frankly I was
hoping they'd send me

somebody a little bigger
than you, but, uh...Ahem.

I'm 5'8".

No, no. I mean,
you know, huskier.

She's plenty husky,
Andy. What the hell?

You're gonna
have to be careful,

'cause the guy's
no cream puff.

The last woman
that he attacked

is still in the hospital
with a broken jaw.

Interrogation room.
Locker room's down there.

What time do you
want me to start?

Oh, who the hell knows?
I don't know.

I think maybe you
ought to let him see you

around the neighborhood.
What do you think?

Yeah, maybe.

Ok. There's a cafeteria
over on tremont.

Why don't you drop by
there about 6:00

and have a bite,
and then, uh,

take a stroll
for about an hour

before you go
to the park, ok?

[Laughing] He'll
think I'm a hooker.

No, he won't
think that.

Communication's
over in that area.

Ok, we're
all set, Bert.

Are you sure
about that?

I'm sure.
You ought to see

some of the miserable hookers
we got around here.

Oh, well,
it was nice to meet...

Is he a suspect?

Yeah,
he should be.

Lovely.

[Telephone rings]

87th squad. Kling.

Man: The penalty
for extortion

is imprisonment
not exceeding 15 years.

Any other questions?

Yeah. What do you mean
we're inept?

I want $5,000
in 5s and 10s.

I want them put
into a metal lunchpail.

I want the pail taken

to the copps hill
cemetery

and placed
on the footpath...

We didn't expect him

to call back
so soon.

You want $5,000 placed
in the cemetery, right?

Before noon tomorrow.

There are more
than 2 of US,

so don't
attempt to arrest

the man
who picks up the pail,

or the commissioner
will be killed.

If the pail is empty,

the plan to kill
the commissioner

will go into effect.

If you have any more
questions, ask them now.

You don't really
expect US to put $5,000

on a silver platter,
do you, really?

No. In a lunchpail.

[Whispers] Yeah.

Uh, is there any way
we can reach you?

You'll have
to speak louder.

I'm a little
hard of hearing.

[Louder] I said is--

[click, dial tone]

[Telephone rings]

He gone.

Lost him. Damn it.

Yeah, hi, miss--
miss Sullivan?

Were you able
to get anything?

Miss Sullivan: Oh, gosh.

That's what I figured,
miss Sullivan.

Thank you, anyway.

[Crunches food]
You're fired.

[Coughing, spitting]

There he is.

[Coughing]

[Bottle breaks]

Wake up, bum!

[Groaning]

Carella: Kids.

Aah! Aah! Aah!

[Screaming]

God! Aah!

Ah, jeez. Unh!

This is...

Carella!

S-Send the...

Meat wagon! Uhh!

Ok, now, Gomez.

You know what you're
supposed to do, right?

Yes, sir, I do.

Knock off
the "sir" crap.

Put it on the footpath
by the water pump

in copps hill cemetery.

Just put it there
and get out, ok?

Yes, sir.
Yes, Mike.

Good, good, good, good.

Good.

You know, if it rings,
I'll answer it.

But what do you mean they're
putting garbage in your car?

Well, every morning,

garbage in the front
seat of the car, you know?

You don't mind,
do you?

Coffee grounds,
potato peels...

Moldy fruit,

and it's just
such a mess to clean up.

When it gets on the floor,
you get your feet in it,

and you walk around,
you know, with--slipping--

with it on your heels,

and it's just the worst mess,
all chewed up bones--

as though they had a dog
or somethin' like that.

And one day,
it looked as though

somebody had
blown their nose

in old pieces of toilet paper
and wet cigarette butts

and things like that,

and it's really
disgusting.

You can't find
that kind of thing

in your car seat
every morning

and live through it.

My stomach turns.

I really threw up
several times,

but not in the front seat
of the car, you know?

I went inside.

I at least had
the decency to do that,

but I thought that maybe
if you put a--

somebody walkin'
the beat there,

they might find who was
doing it and, you know,

tell 'em to stop.

We'll do what we can.

Well, I wish you would,

because there really isn't
a thing that's worth picking up,

you know,
on the front seat

that you would want
to take into the house

and use the next day.

I make my own lunch
when I go to work.

Excuse me.

You want to grab that end,
fella, and help US?

Yeah, lend a hand.

What's going on?

We need to get this...

All right.
Help 'em, help 'em.

The sooner we get it up,

the sooner
we get out of here.

That-a-boy.

All right, all right.
Come here.

Let's go to work.
Come on!

Let's get something
done here.

How are things
going down there?

Well, we're freezing
our asses off.

Meyer on walkie-talkie:
Any action yet?

Yeah. Gomez
dropped his pail.

And will you ask him
why we had to be out here

at 5:00 in the mornin'
when the damn pail

wasn't gonna be delivered
until 10:00?

Kling: Did you get that?

I heard, I heard.

Look, the lieutenant
wanted you out there

before anybody else
got out there.

Follow and contain,

those are
the orders, ok?

The lieutenant
ought to try

bringing his own sweet
bippy out here sometimes.

It's cold out
this early.

Hold it.

No, nothing.

Just a kid
looked the pail over

and left it right
where it was.

All right.
Stick with it.

What do you got goin',
a stakeout?

Shut up.

[Sarcastically]
Oh, big deal, stakeout.

You know, we painted
the d.A.'S office once.

This isn't such
a big deal, you know.

Crazy, crazy.

They was questioning a kid
who stabbed his mother

with an ice pick.

That's interesting,

'cause that number
matches this number.

Oh, yeah. You already
got my number.

What do you
want this for?

Yeah, well,
this car is parked--

double-parked
in front of the precinct.

Right in front
of the station.

Yeah, that's where
I parked this morning.

What'd you do
that for?

Because the lot
was full,

and the last time
I parked in the lot,

somebody stole my car.

[Buzzing]

It was very stupid.
Take care of it. Get that.

Yeah, what are
my rape suspects?

Blood, negative.
Semen, negative.

Uh, hold on a minute,
please.

That's a lady--
said that there's a guy

pushing a car in front
of her apartment,

and he's weaving,
like he's drunk.

Can we get him on
a drunk driving charge,

you think?

Drunk pushing--
make it a drunk pushing.

Ok, you want to send out
an apb on a drunk--

hey, come on,
come on, come on.

Public drunkenness,
are you crazy?

That's not a--

47 times.

With an ice pick...

In the head, in the chest,
in the belly.

Uh-huh. Everyplace.

Yeah, he said he done it

to save her
from the martians.

There's no such thing
as drunk pushing?

[Sighs] No.

Public drunkenness.

We'll get him
on public drunkenness.

Public drunk--

we want to
send out an apb.

Public drunkenness.
905, uh...

I should've wrote
that number down.

[Nervously] Ha. Uh...

905, uh, I think
it's 45th.

Send a car
around 45th street.

Anywhere along
there is fine.

Both: Yeah.

How can that save him
from the martians?

Well, maybe martians

don't like ladies
with ice pick holes.

Huh?

Oh.
Ha ha ha!

Yes, every morning.

Well, who would want to
put garbage in your car?

Have you got
any enemies?

No. I'm loved
and respected everywhere.

Pardon me. Excuse me.

Yeah, ok.
Could you hold on?

A lady being molested.

She's on hold.
What should I tell her?

[Both laughing]

Hey there.

Hey, who's there?

We got him.
Made contact.

Brown: Follow and contain.
What the hell was all of that?

Kling: Let's see where
he takes that lunchpail.

Suppose he's
in this thing alone?

The guy on the phone

said there were
more than 2 of them.

Mm-hmm. But he could
have been lying.

Well, let's find out.

Brown: Wonder how he's gonna
like what's in that pail.

Brown: Surprise.

[Man yelling prices]

Hey, this guy might be
up there for hours, Bert.

Thank you.

It's gonna
be all right.

Come on.

Tomorrow.

Maybe tomorrow.

They gotta make
some more tests on me--

observations on my head.

I landed on my head.

The dummy landed
on his head.

Ha ha ha ha!

They want to find out
if I have a concussion.

I don't have a concussion.

See? Don't have
a concussion.

What'd you tell the kids?

I've gone away? Where?

Miami beach?

Why Miami beach?

So you could tell 'em
I got sun burned?

[Laughs]

Ow! Oh!

Ah.

Come here.

You'll never know, baby.

You'll never know.

Thanks, man.

Yeah, that's 6 bits
you owe me.

You think his contact
is in the pool hall?

Yeah, could be,
which means he's already

reported
the empty lunchpail.

[Siren]

In that case,
I'm certainly glad

I'm not the parks
commissioner.

There he is.

Hang tight
with him, huh?

This stuff's like mud.

See you later, man.

Kling: Sure do
work a long day.

Brown: Yep, busy fellow--
very, very busy.

He's the kind
of dude that meets

lots and lots of people.

Yeah. He could have
passed the word

a hundred times.

Right.

You'd better call
the lieutenant,

make sure he's got
lots of men watching

parks commissioner
Cooper, huh?

Yeah.

I'll thrill myself

watchin' this guy
go to sleep.

You're gonna be
all right here?

Yeah.

Ok, I'll duff off.

Commissioner Cooper,
I think I'll have 2 of my men

riding home with you
in a second car.

Is that all right?Fine.

Did you see who was
sitting in the front pew?

It was really
very funny.

[Laughing]

[Gunshot]

No! Aah!

No! No!
Are you all right?

[Telephone rings]

Byrnes.

Byrnes, this is
commissioner Nelson.

What the hell is this
about you knowing

that Cooper
was going to be shot?

Well, sir...

We received several
threatening telephone calls

from an unidentified man
on Monday afternoon, sir...

Which calls
I personally discussed

with commissioner Cooper
on Monday night.

Have you found
the location yet?

What location,
sir?

The location from which
the shot was fired

that killed parks
commissioner Cooper.

Sir, St. pius
is not in my precinct.

As I'm sure
the commissioner realizes,

a homicide is investigated
by the detectives

assigned to the precinct

in which the homicide
was committed.

Now, that's the way
we do it in this city, sir.

Perhaps they did it
differently in Philadelphia

where you came from, sir.

They never killed
a parks commissioner

in Philadelphia where
I came from, byrnes.

Now, may I suggest

that you get a few
of your people

off their asses
and over to that area

and find that location,
byrnes?

And report back to me.

Yes, sir.
As soon as we--

[click, dial tone]

They shot the wrong
damn commissioner.

You're gettin'
a little static, huh?

You're gettin' your ass
chewed out, huh?

Why don't
you guys go home?

But we ain't
finished yet.

We can't leave
until we're finished,

and that won't
be until Friday.

You know,
we don't work

for the police department,
you know.

We work for the department
of public works.

Maintenance...

Both: And repair.

Yeah, well, you're
dripping paint

all over my glasses.

Hey, meyer!

Hee hee hee hee.

Hey, kling,
will you get--

Willis!

Hey, Willis!

Where the hell
is everybody?

Anybody, hey!

What are all these lights
doing on around here?

What are we, partners
with the electric company?

Hey, guys!

Detective McHenry...

Of special assignment.

Look out
for the wet paint.

Well...

This goddamn place
is driving me crazy.

Desk sergeant: Look,
there's a guy bleedin'

on the goddamn sidewalk,

and I called in 20 minutes
ago for a meat wagon.

So, what are you doin'
up there, playin' pinochle?

Yeah, well, make sure
you do it in a hurry.

What do you want,
kid?

You the desk sergeant?

Yeah. Yeah,
I'm the desk sergeant.

I'm supposed
to give you this.

Oh, thanks.

Uh, hold it there
a second, kid.

What's the matter?

Hold it right there
a second.

Hey, where did
you get these?

Boy:
A guy gave it to me.

Carella: What guy?

A guy outside.

Outside where?

Near the train station
there,

across the street.

You know the guy?

No. He gave me 5 bucks
to bring it over here.

What'd he look like?

A bald-headed guy
with a thing in his ear.

A thing in his ear?

What kind of a thing
in his ear?

Like he was deaf.

Like a hearing aid?

Yeah,
a thing in his ear.

The guy had
a thing in his ear.

Ok.

You can go home,
son.

Chief,
you got that note?

I'd like to take
a look at it.

Yeah, I got it
here someplace.

Well, one good thing.

What's that?

You're the only man
in this precinct

who isn't getting
his goddamn fingerprints

all over them.

Byrnes: What do you think?

I think
he's gonna do it.

He's a maniac.

Does he really expect
a deputy mayor to pay him?

Of course he does.

He killed Cooper,
didn't he?

He'll shoot
scanlon, too,

as soon as
he gets the loot.

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

Where does it say shoot?

It says
right there...

It doesn't say
"shoot scanlon",

it says,
"scanlon goes next."

All right, goes.
Does that mean

sticks a shiv
in his stomach

and cuts him open?

He's gonna be dead,
isn't he?

Puts an ice pick
in his ears or somethin'?

[Belches]
Please.

Hey...

Why don't we
call scanlon up

and see if he's got
$50,000 lying around

he doesn't need, huh?

Look, I'll call scanlon.

You get over to St. pius.

Don't like that, huh?

Brown: Anything
on Mr. Lunchpail?

Man on telephone:
Name on the mailbox

says Anthony la bresca.

Super of the building says

he lives there alone
with his mother.

No criminal record.

The lieutenant wants
a 24-hour tap on his phone.

Brown: And who's
he putting on the tap?

Guess who?

Brown: Damn.
That's what I figured.

Jeez.
It's cold out there.

How's it goin',
Jack?

Oh, that's it, Artie.

You got one phone
in the house here,

and we're hooked
into it solid.

You'll be able to catch
anything goin' in or goin' out.

Ok.

I'm glad they picked you
for this job.

I'm not.

You know, you get some
of those klutzes over there.

They don't know how
to handle equipment.

They, uh, mess
everything up.

Yeah.

Oh, Artie.
Yeah.

I meant what I said,
Artie.

You're the best man
for the job,

and I ain't just sayin' that
'cause you're a nigger.

Oh, ho, ho.
Hold it, cousin.

Let me whip
somethin' on.

Let me straighten your
act out a little taste.

Now, I don't want
too many white folks

to know this, because
they get scared, you see,

but the last dude
that had the audacity

to call me a nigger, I...

[Punch]
[Machine beeps]

[Jack falls to ground]

[Beeping]

Man. Ha ha. These people,
I'm tellin' ya.

Oh, uh, let's see.

I turn this on and...

Woman: Hello?

Second woman: Concetta.

[Women speaking Italian]

[Imitating women]

What'd she say?

She called me.

She didn't call you.

She sure did.
What'd she say?

She said you're weird.

She said I'm weird?

Mm-hmm.
I'm weird?

That's the first time
I ever had a chick

ask me to get down
and bark like a dog.

Well, did you?

Yeah, I did.

And?

Her German Shepherd
jumped on top of me.

I had to run
out of the house.

I couldn't get back
in the house.

I had to go home.

My old lady said,
"I thought you were

going to be home
at 10:00."

I said the game
broke up early.

Yeah, right, lew.

The apartment was rented
to a bald-headed guy

with a hearing aid
3 days ago.

Third floor, front, perfect
spot to watch the commissioner.

Yeah.

The landlady says
he paid cash in advance,

gave his name as sordo.

S-o-r-d-o. No first name,
just the initial "l".

Yeah.

All right. Yeah.

Well, I'm checkin'
the phone books right now.

Ok.

Who's handling the case
where these bums

are getting set on fire?

Carella.
He's not here. Why?

Just found one
in the doorway.

He'd been laying there
since last night sometime.

Is he alive?

Just barely.

Hospital gives him
a 60-40 chance.

Yeah, well,
I'll tell him.

You'll tell him?
Yeah.

Thanks.

Meyer: How do you
spell surveillance?

[Telephone rings]2 ls.

[Rings]

87th squad.
Detective meyer.

Hi, Sarah.
What's the matter?

Oh! God damn--
I'm sorry.

Yeah, I forgot
all about it.

Look, I'll call him
right away.

I'll get back to you.
All right.

Steve levine
was just in,

said you got
another customer

in the hospital.

Yeah, he told me.
Thanks.

You ok?
How's your hands?

Screwin' up
my sex life.

Ha ha ha. Ow.

[Grunts]

Hello,
abramowitz catering?

Detective meyer, 87th squad.

Look, you did it again.

The knishes--
dry, crumbled.

Well, how many times?
I want credit. I--

look, I'll get
right back to you.

Hi, Sadie.
How are you?

Good to see ya.
Come on in.

I think we can get it
over with right now.

We're gonna settle
the whole thing

once and for all.

He came back
again last night.

I'm not handling that case
anymore, my dear.

Detective McHenry
handles it now, Sadie.

Who?

Look, Eileen...

I think we got the first
big break in your case,

but you're gonna
have to handle it alone.

Sadie, this is detective
Eileen McHenry.

Her name's Sadie.

Hello, Sadie.

How do you do?

Do you have
some information

you'd like
to give US?

Yes.

He came back
again last night.

Who?

The rape artist.

Oh, well,
just a second here.

Do you have
a description

you can give me?

[Sighs]

He's a tall swarthy man.

Tall...swarthy.

Wears this long
black cape.

Cape?
Yes.

Over a tuxedo
with a white dress shirt

and a black bow tie...

And these black satin
dancing slippers,

and he's got buttons
on his fly--

5 buttons.

I see.

So he likes to unbutton
his fly very slowly,

one button at a time,

and he warns me
not to scream,

because he's not
gonna hurt me.

All he wants to do
is screw me.

Yeah. Screw you.

[Both laugh]

Ha ha ha ha!

He looks like
such a gentleman,

so naturally,
I never scream

until he gets the last
button unbuttoned.

That's when he
takes out his thing.

So, naturally,
that's when I scream.

Ha ha ha ha!

Well, Sadie,

I can promise you
that we're going to do

everything in our power

to bring this man
to justice.

As a matter of fact,
we might even

enlist the services
of detective carella...

And detective meyers.

I'm sure that they'd
be willing to help.

I'm sure they'd be glad
to come by personally...

To see that nothing
happens to you.

Isn't that right, boys?

What do you say? Steve?

[Laughing]

Smart ass.

[Men laughing]

Smart--

would you like
a cup of coffee?

No, I wouldn't like
a cup of coffee.

Why not?

I don't like the coffee
they have around here.

Oh,
it's not that bad.

It stinks.

Well, we could go out
for a cup of coffee

if you like.

Would you move your ass?

Ok.

Why do they do it to me?

They're just kidding.

Well, I take this case
very seriously.

They know that.

Would you like
to go for coffee?

Would you?

Yeah.

I would.

Listen, you want a Jeep?

A Jeep? I don't
want a Jeep. What for?

I got a friend.

He gets a hundred
people together.

You can get surplus army
jeeps for $4.73 each.

I'm not interested.

That's like
the portable sand dune.

I don't need any
of that shit, really.

It comes in a box,

no, no.
You put it together.

You get a brand-new
1943 Jeep.

No, no, no.
Never been used.

Yeah, right, right.

[Beeping]

[Buzzes]
What do you want?

Man: Hello, Tony?

Tony: Yeah?

Tony la bresca?

Get out of here, you creep.
Eatin' my dinner.

Tony: What's up, dom?

Tony, uh,
I was wonderin'

if you could
lend me some bread

till I get
organized here.

You've never been
organized in your life.

Tony...i know.

What do you know?

About the caper.

What caper?

Tony, don't let me say it
on the phone, huh?

You never know who's
listening these days.

Brown: Right on.

What you want, dom?

Come on. Spit it out.

Not on the phone.

Meet me outside
Sammy's tonight.

[Siren, honking horn]

You ever play
here before?

Nope.

They call me tiny.

Hello, tiny.

You missed.

Yeah, I missed.

You a hustler?

No.

We break
hustler's arms...

And throw them
down the stairs.

Just the arms
or the whole hustler?

I got no
sense of humor.

Neither have I,
so buzz off, will ya?

I mean, you're ruinin'
my game, all right?

8 ball in the side.

You missed.

What's that
in your belt there?

You work
on the docks?

Yeah,
I work on the docks.

Excuse me.

You want company?

Now, how do I know
you'renot a hustler?

Hi, tiny.

Hey, hi, man.

How's it goin'?

So-so.
Far out.

This is
Marty rosen here.

Hi, Marty.
Nice to meet you.

Same here.

He's Tony la bresca.

Shoots
a pretty good game.

Marty here
shoots the way

Angelo used to shoot.

You remember Angelo...

The cripple.

Oh, yeah.

Angelo the--
yeah, Angie the crip.

Yeah! Ha ha! Yeah.

Seen Pete around?

Yeah.
Over by the windows.

I'll see you guys.

Uh...

Who's Pete?

Schroeder.

Friend of Tony's?

Yeah.

See you later, tiny.

Yeah, man.

Hey, tiny, I'm sorry.
My wife's gonna kill me.

I gotta split.

Yeah, sure.

It was like playin'
without you anyway.

Sir, sir. Excuse me
a minute, sir.

Get out of here!
Get out of here!

Would you mind making
just a small contribution

maybe to help me
get me back to my family?

Get out of my way!

Damn. Damn it!

[People chattering]

Hey, carella,
is meyer in yet?

No, sir.
He's not here yet.

Well, send his ass
into my office

as soon as he gets in.

Yes, sir.

Kling: O...R...

Oh, yeah, carella.

Yo.

This guy just shot
his own brother.

Nothin', nothin'.

Willis just booked him
downstairs.

I think he's halfway to
Italy right now on a boat.

Halfway to Italy on a boat.

What the hell makes
you think he's Italian?

Because anything ending in
"o" is Italian, you dummy.

Shot his own brother,
kling.

What about Yamamoto?

Yama...

Used a shotgun on him.

The guy had no face
left at all.

I don't understand
this place.

I just don't understand.

Sordo is Italian.

Sordo, sordo.
It's Italian.

Sordo?
Sordo, yes.

What makes you think
it's Italian?

In Spanish,
sordomeans deaf.

Deaf?

What, I say
something?

El sordo.

[Sighs] 2 days we've been
spending on a phony name.

And all it means is
the goddamn deaf man.

[Gomez speaking Spanish]

I'm freezing
my balls off.

The son of a bitch

didn't have to
bawl me out that way.

He was pissed off
at you.

He had a right
to be pissed off.

You lost your man
last night, didn't you?

Well, you think
I'm not pissed off?

Listen, I've been
a cop for 13 years,

and I've never
blown a surveillance

in all that time,
god damn it.

Unh!

Your crucifix
is crooked.

What?
It's crooked.

The crucifix.

[Woman giggling]

Man: Mmm.
Heh heh heh.

Eileen: Is this normal
stakeout procedure?

Bert: Yeah,
it's real normal.

[Mumbling]

I meant--i meant
the sleeping bag.

Yes, that's my idea.

[Carriage squeaking]

Oh! What's that?

Oh, uh,
it's just my gun.

[Squeaking]

What's that?

That's a...

Baby carriage.
Well--

just a baby carriage,
that's all.

Yeah, but--um--

needs a little oiling.
That's all.

Don't you
think that--

we all need oiling.

Yeah, but, listen.
Ah.

Ahh.

[Walkie-talkie
static]

[Heavy
breathing]

Yeah?

We shouldn't.
[Moans]

Bert.
What?

These are public gardens,
Bert.

Yeah.
Oh!

We aren't supposed to...

[Bert and Eileen
whispering]

Oh!

It's nothin'.
Just a kid.

I wish you'd--

nice, quiet...

[Talking
and moaning]

Bert.

Come in, Bert.

Eileen: Oh,
what's that?

Kid over there.

He's headin'
for the pail.

Jesus, not now.
Uhh.

Meyer: He's walkin'
toward Bert.

Carella: That's right.
He's going toward Bert.

He's not comin' here.

Get Bert on the phone.

Here we go.
Ok.

Get him on.
Get him on. Come on.

Bert. Bert.

Get the zipper down.

Well, all right!

Meyer: Are you there, Bert?
Can you hear me?

Get that--where is it?
Get the radio.

Oh! Would you
wait a minute?

Goddamn thing.

I don't know
if it's there.

Whoo!

Did we get him?

Listen to this.
Bert.

Where's the gun?

I'll call meyer.

[Chuckling]
Wait.

Where is it?
Ha! Ho ho!

Shh! Shh! Shh!

What the hell is he doin'?

[Bert laughing]

Bert!

Bert: Oh, ho ho ho!

Who's in the car?

Charlie.

Charlie! Move in.

Meyer?

Where is it?

He's comin'
across the bridge.

[Siren]

Bert: Suspect moving
toward Parker and dog.

Kill.

Kill, Randolph!

Come on, kill,
you silly son of a bitch!

[Whimpers]

[Gunshot]

Goddamn foot!

[Barks]

Kill, Randolph!

Stop! Police!

Hold it!

Stop!

Carella: Stop! Police!

Stop!

Police! Damn it! Stop!

Stop. Police.

Ok, what's your name?

Alan parry.

Mmm.

Where do you live, Alan?

Right around the corner.

I know you guys.

I see you guys
around all the time.

Don't you know me?

You make him, Bert?

Steve?

I don't know
who he is, chief.

So we gotta try
the mutt and Jeff routine.

Ok, I'm mutt this time.

Oh, no, no.
Now, I'm desperate.

I gotta be mutt now.

God damn it.
You're always Jeff.

I'm in enough trouble
with byrnes.

Please,
for me, Steve.

Why do I always
have to be the heavy?

One time.
Do it for me.

I gotta be mutt.
Let me do it.

All right.
All right?

Who asked you, Alan?

A bald guy wearing
a hearing aid.

Bald guy wearing
a hearing aid.

We're tired of screwin'
around with you now, kid.

Now, what was
the guy's name

that you were
going to meet?

I don't know
his name.

Was it maybe
Pete schroeder?

I'm telling you
I don't know.

God damn it!
Will you stop lying to US?

All right!
Cut it out!

I hate it
when they lie.

Cut it out! Come on.
Keep it cool.

There are other ways
of doing this, ok?

Now, come on, Alan.
Sit down here.

Come here.
That-a-boy. Come on.

There.

Honest to god.
You can talk to me.

The guy gave me 5 bucks
to pick up the pail,

and that's all I know.

Right.

Now...

What do you think
was in the pail?

Lunch.

Lunch?

Lunch?

Huh?
Yeah. Yeah.

Lunch?
What do you think?

I'm not some fool!

I'm not gonna
tell you again.

Cut that out.

Come on, Alan.

Now, really.

What do you think
was really in that pail?

Grass.

I figured I could maybe
make a quick buck.

There's guys
in this neighborhood

who smoke
the kind of stuff

that's in that pail.

But not you, huh, Alan?

I have never smoked
a joint in my life.

Is that right?

Open up that lunchpail.

No.

Oh, yeah, kid.

Open up the lunchpail.
Now open it up.

No. I don't want to.

Open it up!
I don't want to!

Why not, Alan?

Why not, Alan?

'Cause if there's
pot in that pail,

I don't know
nothin' about it.

You said before...

If I didn't want
to answer no questions,

I didn't have to.Right.

Ok, I don't want to
answer no more questions.

Look, Alan, I think
I proved it, right?

You can talk to me.

Go stick it
in your hat.

Sorry.

Go on, Alan.
Go home. Beat it.

I can go?

Get out of here.

What do you think,
Steve?

I figure the deaf man knew
that there was nothin'

in the lunchpail
all along, chief,

and they figured that we'd
nail whoever picked it up.

That's what I think.

What do you think, Bert?

Yeah, I agree
with Steve--

in which case he wants
to kill scanlon.

I think I'll
call the d.A.

And have him put his own
men on this damn case.

Doesn't know you.

Lieutenant remembers
your name by the work.

Ho ho ho!
Hmm.

She doesn't mean
to be mean.

She's in love.

Just in love.

Just in love.
Ha ha ha ha!

Hey, did you have fun
in the sleeping bag?

Just doing my job.

Just doing
a little plumbing.

Did you get
your pipes cleaned?

A little plumbing?
A little plumbing?

♪ Can it be the breeze
that fills the trees ♪

♪ with rare
and magic perfume? ♪

♪ Oh, no, it isn't
the breeze ♪

♪ it's love in bloom ♪

Hey! Go to hell,
sisters!

[Humming]

How do you feel
about all this, Steve?

About what?

Well, about the guy
maybe being deaf.

So what?

I mean because
of Claudia...

You know it.

I never really
thought about it.

You know, I've been married
12 years to Teddy, and, uh...

I never really think
about her being a...

A deaf mute.

I'm sorry, Steve.

I didn't mean
to bring up--

no. That's all right.

Forget it.

I just never think
about her...

That way.

[Alarm bell rings]

Yeah, what is it?

Trying to find
the deputy mayor's car.

Oh, they already
looked it over.

But did they
check the clock?

They looked it over
from top to bottom.

Yeah, well, I'm supposed
to fix the clock.

Oh. There it is
over there.

I went all the way over
to the municipal garage.

They told me they moved
the car over here.

[Horn honks]

What the hell's
goin' on, anyway?

Don't you read
the papers?

For the funnies.

This one?

Electric clock stopped.

Big catastrophe, right?

All right.

Which one of you
little mothers

goes to the clock?

Hey, buddy, you mind?

You're makin'
me nervous.

Hey, schroeder.

Catching up
on your reading?

Any trouble gettin' here?

No.

Sure you weren't followed?

Positive.

Why would anybody
want to follow me?

Schroeder:
So, what's with dom?

He wants to
split it 3 ways.

I don't want
to cut him in.

You think I do?

If we don't play
ball with him,

he's gonna scream
for the cops.

Man, there's
big money here.

Look, don't you
think I know that?

What are we gonna
do with him?

We can kill him.

When are you gonna
meet him again?

Tomorrow morning.
11:00.

Where?

Tony?

Where are you
gonna meet him?

Oh, oh, um...
Copley square

near the church.

What do you want
me to tell him?

You tell him
that we're--

give me a quarter,
will you?

No.

Will you give me
a quarter?

No.

Will you give me
a quarter?!

Will you guys
knock it off?

I can't see the action
with all that blabbing.

Oh, you're
beautiful.

You're really
beautiful.

You get anything?

Huh?

I said, did you
get anything?

Yeah, um, 11:00
in the morning,

copley square.

Oh, what do you think?

Steve?

Steve.

Freak.

Oh, darling, would you keep
the notes to my speech?

I can't tell you gentlemen
how much I appreciate this.

Part of the job,
Mr. Scanlon.

It's our pleasure,
also.

He means
the main thing

is to make sure that
nothing happens to you.

D.a.'s orders.

Excuse me, Mr. Scanlon.

What time are we due
at the synagogue?

Well, I'm due
to speak at 9:00,

and I would like to be
there by a quarter of.

More than enough time, sir.

Ok.

"Rabbi horowitz
and ladies of the Hadassah,

it gives me great pleasure
to appear before you tonight--"

Mrs. Scanlon: Are you
sticking to the schedule

they announced
in the newspapers?

That's right.

It's the same speech

that I gave to the sons
of Ireland last month.

Heh heh heh.

You smile, lady.

[Ticking]

[Chuckling]

"The city of Boston
definitely needs

all of the assistance that
it can get at this time."

Aah!

[Sirens]

[Bells ringing]

Hey, look.

Yeah.

That's the same car I lost
outside the pool hall...

With a blond girl
driving it.

How'd she get
in the act again?

Well, she's obviously
substituting for dom,

probably his girlfriend.

Think she'll
know anything?

She must be in on it,
don't you think?

Short meeting.

Let's hit her.

Hey, meyer,
look at this.

Your name dom,
honey?

Yeah. What's yours?

Get 'em up there.

That's a girl?

What's your
full name, dom?

Dominick americo
di fillippi.

Listen,
you got the wrong guy.

I'm a musician.

Yeah? What
do you play?

The harp.

The harp, huh?

Yeah, blues harp--
harmonica, man.

I play with
the rotten onions.

Huh?

The rotten onions.
It's a group, man.

What's your connection
with Tony la bresca?

He's a friend
of mine.

The one with
Anthony la bresca...

And that...
Come on!

Peter schroeder
is plannin'.

I don't know. I never
heard of any schroeder.

Well, that sure is a lot
of money to forget.

You don't remember
that, dom?

Well, that's called
compounding.

Compounding?

Yeah.

Yeah, well, what do I get
for this compounding

or whatever the hell it is?

5 years.

It ain't worth it.

No, it ain't, dom.
Tell US what you know.

They're holding up
a liquor store.

A liquor store?

That's the big deal?

Yeah, that's
the big deal.

Oh, Jesus.

It's nothin'
to do with

the goddamn
deaf man at all.

It had nothin'
to do with him!

When are they
hitting it?

Tonight.

Where?

[Buzzer]

Buck: Ahmad, is that you?

Yeah, buck, it's me.

[Piano playing]

You get them?

I got 'em.

I got 'em!

Did you
have them tested?

Of course
I had them tested.

Good. Got
the whisky, too.

Ahmad got
the whisky, sweetie.

I had to go to
3 different places

to get them.

Woman: Can Ahmad
fix US a drink?

Rochelle wants to know

if you want me
to fix US--

I can hear you.

A drink.

[Resumes playing piano]

Shall I?

Why don't you?

I think I'll have
a little more champagne.

Hell. This is
the part I can't get.

Plus, I'm bored.

What should I do?

What time is it,
buck?

Uh...

It's a little
past 4:00.

If I made a reservation
at Locke-ober for...

6:00, let's say...

Do you think
you can get...

Dressed in time?

What's Locke-ober?

A very nice restaurant.

Yes, I could be dressed.

Marvelous
empty-headed bitch.

I think she's dangerous
to have around here.

On the contrary.

She calms the nerves

and relieves
the everyday tensions.

She hasn't got
the vaguest notion

of what we're up to.

Yeah, well,
sometimes

I don't have
the vaguest notion

of what
we're up to, either.

That's really
very simple, buck.

Not to me, it isn't.

To buck,
only bombs are simple.

This is the last one.

Look, why don't we
call this Jefferson?

After our visit
to the mayor's mansion.

Now, here's
Henry Jefferson...

Our unsuspecting target.

Henry Jefferson,
chairman of the board

of Jefferson industries
incorporated,

loving husband
to Margaret,

loving father
to Abigail and Louise.

Personal assets estimated

at close to $42 million.

Now, I don't think
he's going to mind parting

with a mere 500,000
of that, do you?

Suppose he calls
the fuzz?

Well, if he does,

it will be too late.

And anyway, they still
don't know who we are...

And they never will.

But, my friend,
they're called fuzz

because their ways
are fussy,

and their thinking
is fuzzy.

They're inept
and inadequate

in an age that demands
efficiency.

While mankind
has already taken

its first enormous
steps on the moon,

the police are
still mired in mud,

like the hopeless
pigs they are.

Ok, ok, come on,
let's break it up.

Break it up.

What do you
propose to do

about this intolerable
situation?

We're working on it.
We're working on it.

You got anything
for me?

Yeah.

I'm taking meyer
out to dinner,

and then we're going
to the liquor store.

I like your
friends, Bert.

How would you, sir,
like to be set on fire?

He alreadyi already
tried that.Tried that.

[Gasps]

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean
to frighten you.

Can I walk with you?

Where you going?

You are very beautiful.

Thank you.

You're
a beautiful slut...

And I want to touch you.

Please, i--i just want
to be your friend.

Ok.

See?
I won't hurt you.

No. All right.

I won't hurt you.
See?

Your purse.

Oh!

Aah!

Hold it...

Right there...

Unless you want me
to end your career.

Deaf man: Buck?

Just a few more
adjustments to make.

Everything
connected?

Connected and
set to go off at 2:00.

Came out rather well,
don't you think?

Excellent.

Considering I was
working all night

and with a minox.

Now, here's
the crucial map.

It's the composite
feeder plate,

and it pinpoints
the manhole exactly.

The high voltage cables

passing under
this manhole

provide the electricity
for the whole area substation

in which the mayor's
mansion is located.

Here.

The mansion is
completely electrified,

except for 2 gas lamps
at the main gate.

Speak to me, buck.

Buck:
All set.

Let's get dressed.

There it is--

the mayor's mansion.

Deaf man:
Ahmad, don't slow down.

Turn left at the corner
and keep going.

Hi.

I'll tell you one thing.

If I ever need a cop,

remind me
never to call one.

[Laughs]

Well, so long for now.

See you in
a couple of years.

I kind of think
you should see me

a little sooner
than that. Ha!

Would you mind
stepping over here?

What's up, sarge?

Well, would you mind
lifting the tarp

up just a little bit,
please?

But there's paint
in there.

Of course there's paint,

but it wouldn't be
paint spilled all over.

Bless my soul.

Now that...

Is a no-no.

"Oh," is right.
Now...

Painter: I tell you,
I have no idea...

I mean...

I don't understand.

It certainly is
hard to understand,

and it's hard
to understand

how you going to
stay out of jail.

Happy birthday.

That ain't funny,
Harry.

[Laughs]

What's this?

It's all right.

I'm sergeant Pierce,
emergency service division.

These men are from
the electric company.

There's a leak
somewhere in the line.

They're trying
to locate it.

Ok, sarge.

Better check over
this equipment.

I don't want any static
on it later.

Yeah. Good idea.

You want to open
that up for me?

Ok?

What's that
you're carrying?

It's a volt ohm meter.

Want to open it up
for me?

Sure.

Ok, you can
close it now.

Ok to go in?

Sure thing, sarge.

[Knock on door]

[Blows]

Hold it, fellas.

Sergeant Pierce,
emergency service division.

These men are from
the electric company,

here to check
the power failure.

Yeah? What the hell
happened?

A leak somewhere
in the line.

Oh?

Where's
the breaker box?

Right back here.

You want to show him?

Ok, come on.

All right,
do what you gotta.

Find it?

No. It must be
someplace else.

Carella:
18 guys in that squad,

and I got to get picked
to go on this dumb job.

Will you tell me that?

Why do I have
to go along?

For the same reason
I had to go along--

because the lieutenant
does not like meyer, Steve.

Right.

He likes me.

No, he doesn't, meyer.

You always get
the dumb jobs.

You know that.
What does that say?

I should be working
on an extortion case

right now, meyer--
an extortion case.

I shouldn't be going to
some dumb liquor store

waiting for two two-bit
punks to show up.

Yeah. Why don't you
just admit it?

You had US tailing
the wrong man, meyer.

Who?

You, you.

Follow and contain--
those are your orders.

Yes. Going after
the wrong man, meyer.

It was
the lieutenant's fault.

Right.

You know why it was
the lieutenant's fault?

Because he doesn't
like you.

That's right.

He likes me.
He likes me.

Wait a minute.
I forgot the maps.

Now we'll put
our proposition

to Mr. Jefferson.

When suddenly,
out of nowhere,

this guy comes bombing
out of the gas station.

I know, I know,
but how many times

is it the other
fella's fault?

Do you realize how many
times it's happened

this year alone?

I know, but this time,
it really isn't my fault.

I even have a witness.

I'll discuss it with you
after dinner.

Hello.

Deaf man:
Mr. Jefferson?

Who is this?

The man who killed
commissioner Cooper

and deputy mayor
scanlon.

What?
What did you say?

I believe
you heard me, sir.

Before morning,

another member of
the municipal government

will be killed.
You will have--

who is this?
What do you want?

Mr. Jefferson,

I would advise you
to shut your mouth

and keep it shut
from this moment on.

You have until
Monday afternoon

to raise $500,000

in small unmarked bills.

We will
contact you then

with instructions
concerning delivery.

If you fail
to accommodate US,

we'll first kill
your wife Margaret,

then your daughters
Abigail and Louise,

the same way
we killed--

this is absurd.

Do you realize
who you're talking to?

I'm advising you
beforehand

of a murder
yet to be committed--

a murder you'll read about
in your newspaper

tomorrow morning.

I will not show you
the same consideration

if you fail
to raise the money,

and we are forced
to go after your family.

I'm contacting
the police

the minute
you get off the line.

Don't bother.
You're too late.

Put the money in a small
valise, Mr. Jefferson.

You'll hear from US.

[Hangs up]

[Line ringing]

Abigail, you know better
than to say that.

Orthodontist.

[Line ringing]

I once read a book--

1,001 ways
to get out of the draft.

Done.

I want to stop and buy
a case of champagne.

[Family chattering]

[Line ringing]

[Car approaches]

I'm cold.

Yeah. You already
told me that 3 times.

Yeah, well,
I'm still cold.

Hey.

Hey, look, let's forget
the liquor stores, ok?

Come on, we'll try
down by the river.

Lots of bums sleep in those
empty boats down there.

Yeah, all right.

Ok, but only for, like,
a half an hour, ok, Jimmy?

Because i'm
really cold--really.

Hey.

Hey, you look like
you're going to cry.

I'm just cold,
that's all.

Ok, baby, ok, ok.
Come on.

We'll find someone. We'll
make a nice warm fire, huh?

Now, remember,

no shooting unless that
old fart starts yelling,

you understand?

Right.

Now, we get there
just before he closes.

At quarter to 12:00.

Right.

Cut through the alley,

then we go
in the back door.

See, that way,
we surprise him.

Then we tie him up,

and we throw him
behind the counter.

Then we empty the cash
register and come back here.

Right.

Right.

Yeah.

Stick 'em up.

[Door bell tinkles]

Hey.

What time is it?

5 minutes later than
the last time you asked me.

Oh, come on.

11:45.
Oh, thank you.

You're welcome.

You know, there's
the smell of fortune

out there in
that cash register.

There's $86.20, Steve.

It's got to be the biggest
caper of the century.

Better get ready, huh?

[Sighs]

[Sighs]

Sorry we don't have
a sleeping bag for you.

Ha ha ha ha!

Aw, hey, you're really kind
of cute, you know, Steve?

[Cat meows]

You ready?

Ready.

I'll need your help, buck.

[Car door closes]

[Door bell tinkles]

I'd like a case
of dom perignon.

[Loud thud]

It's the police!

It's the police!

Who the hell is that?

It's the police,
god damn it!

What police?
We're the police!

If this is your idea
of a joke, carella...

Get in there, guys.

[Motor running]

Come on!
Come on!Stop! Police!

[Gunshots]

[Alarm bell ringing]

Carella:
Here! Come here!

Too--too late.

What? What are you
talking about?

A bomb.

C-C...

Wh--

[speaking Spanish]

[Crying]

Jesus,
the mayor's mansion.

Murchison, this is kling
at the liquor store.

[Train bell ringing]

Stop, police!

Bullshit!

Meyer:
Who are we chasing?

Carella:
I don't know!

God damn it!

Meyer:
Let me in on it!

Goddamn! Meyer!

He's got a bald head
and a hearing aid!

Impossible!

Damn it! He's got a bald head
and a thing in his ear!

Look.

Baby:
Drunk as a pig.

Let's take him, baby.

Have a drink, bum!

No!

Hold it!

Stop it!

Deaf man: Waah!

Aah!

Aah!

[Whimpering]

[Siren approaches]

Nothing, huh?

No, nothing.

Maybe the fire got him.

If the fire didn't get him,
the river sure as hell did.

Or the pollution.
Yeah.

Carella: You know
what those 2 kids told me?

What?

They were just
trying

to clean up
the neighborhood.

Oh, Jesus!

Think they'll find
the body, Steve?

If they drag the river,
they'll find the body.

Boy, it's really
amazing, you know?

What's amazing?

Well, the deaf man,
the planting of the bomb

under the mayor's bed,

the way we tied
the whole thing up.

We tied it all together.
It's amazing we caught him

staked out in the back
of a liquor store

getting our ass
shot off.

Garbage? What do you
mean, garbage?

We're garbagemen.

This was based
on good, sound police work.

It was.

Sound police work?

I can't wait to see
the lieutenant's face

in the morning.
Big headlines.

"87th precinct's
stunning destruction

of the deaf man."

Picture his face
when he sees that.

Ha.

Well, the important
thing is,

we solved the crime.

Right?

Right.

The world
will never know--

never know.
