NOW, WE CAN'T
HURT THEM.

WE GOT TO WIN,
BUT WE CAN'T HURT THEM.

MAYBE WE CAN
HURT THEM A LITTLE.

THIS IS CRAZY--

GOING TO SCHOOL
EARLY TO FIGHT.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

MR. "I SERVED 18 MONTHS
FOR MANSLAUGHTER"

IS WORRIED
ABOUT A FIGHT?

I DIDN'T ASK FOR
THAT IN MY JACKET.

THEY PUT IT THERE

SO NO ONE WOULD
MISTAKE YOU FOR A WIMP

WHICH IS WHAT
YOU ARE THIS MORNING.

WE'RE THE McQUAID BROTHERS.

YEAH!

WE'RE ROUGHER, TOUGHER.

WE BUY BETTER DRUGS.

LET'S BUY SOME BETTER
DRUGS AND GET OUT.

THREE WEEKS
IS GETTING OLD.

TODAY AN OUNCE,
TOMORROW A KILO.

STEP BY STEP.

BY MIDTERMS, WE'LL BUST
THE PRESIDENT OF COLOMBIA.

THE COLLEGE
OR THE COUNTRY?

THERE THEY ARE,
PANCHO.

YOU TAKE
THE LITTLE ONE, OKAY?

THE LITTLE ONE?

LOOK--

LET ME NAIL
THE RULES...

( cheering and shouting )

HEY, LOOK OUT!

WHAT'S GOING ON?

LOOKING FOR
SPARE CHANGE.

WE'RE GETTING
A METAL DETECTOR, TOO.

TRY LOOKING IN YOUR
HOMEROOM INSTEAD.

RELAX, FANS.

THEY STARTED IT.

NO ONE THOUGHT YOU WOULD SHOW.

WE'RE THE McQUAIDS.

WE HAD TO SHOW.

Both:
HELLO!

OKAY,
EVERYBODY OUT.

YOU'RE BIG BOYS--
WAIT TILL LATER.

IF YOU CROSS YOUR LEGS
AND LEAN OVER

YOU MIGHT MAKE IT
THROUGH MATH.

PHEW!

SUDDENLY THERE'S A REASON
TO GET HERE FOR FIRST PERIOD.

1,500 BUCKS.

Elly:
YOU'RE GOING TO
BUY US A CONDO.

A GRAM, THEN AN EIGHT-TRACK,
THEN AN OUNCE.

WHAT NEXT?

HOW ABOUT A HALF A KEY?

A HALF A KEY?

YEAH, WE CAN HANDLE
A HALF A KEY.

GREAT.

I, FOR ONE,
AM VERY IMPRESSED.

THESE GUYS
ARE NOT SMALL TIME.

IF YOU CAN
HANDLE THAT

LET'S MAKE IT

A WHOLE KEY.

A KEY?

YEAH, AS IN 2.2 POUNDS.

OR HAVEN'T YOU GUYS STUDIED
THE METRIC SYSTEM?

I HAVE.

IS THAT TOO TOUGH FOR YOU?

WELL...

I DON'T WANT YOU TO FEEL
CUT OUT.

TAKE US STRAIGHT TO YOUR SOURCE

AND WE'LL MANAGE
A FINDER'S FEE--

SAY, TEN PERCENT?

TEN?

TEN.

THAT'S... 2,500.

FOR DOING
NOTHING.

THINK ABOUT IT.

TAKE YOUR TIME.

NO, TAKE AN HOUR.

LET US KNOW.

ARE YOU CRAZY?

I HAD TO GO.

A WHOLE KEY!

WHY DID YOU UP US
TO A KEY?

BECAUSE HE LOOKED LIKE
HE WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO

HANDLE HALF OF ONE
BY HIMSELF

AND WE'D HAVE NEVER
GOTTEN UP THE LADDER.

IT WAS A BLUFF.

HE LOOKED LIKE HE HAD TO
GO TO THE BATHROOM.

WE WERE IN THE BATHROOM.

Fuller:
ARE YOU GUYS ON?

YEAH, EXCEPT
SONNY CROCKETT HERE

UPPED US TO A WHOLE KEY
AND 25 GRAND.

THAT'S FINE.

FINE?
FINE?

DANNY, GET ME THE A.D.A.
ON THE JEFFERSON THING.

LOOK, WE'LL HAVE IT PACKAGED
IN 50s, ALL RIGHT?

I WANT YOU TO DEMAND A PUBLIC
LOCATION-- NOT TOO SECLUDED.

A BURGER JOINT OR SOMETHING.

YOU'RE GOING TO GET US 25 GRAND?

GOT A HEARING PROBLEM?

NO.

BACKUP WILL BE THERE.

IF THEY MAKE THE BUST

YOU'LL BE JUVIED OUT
THE NEXT DAY.

AND THEN FINALLY
THE McQUAID BROTHERS
WILL BE HISTORY!

HAH!
HAH!

Woman ( over intercom ):
Captain Fuller, line two.

YEAH, GUYS, MY OFFICE.

NOPE-- THEN YOU'RE
GOING TO STAY

RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE
AT WEST UNION

UNTIL THE INDICTMENTS
ON ELLY, BIRCH

AND THEIR SUPPLIER
ARE HANDED DOWN.

THAT SHOULD BE
ABOUT A WEEK OR TWO.

( sighs )

DIANE, HOW ARE YOU?

TO WHAT DO WE
OWE THIS PLEASURE?

ONE MORE COLLEGE.

I KNOW I SHOULD
MAKE UP MY MIND.

MAY I XEROX MY LETTER
OF RECOMMENDATION?

MR. HARRIS ALREADY
LET ME READ IT.

THOSE FILES AREN'T
OPEN TO STUDENTS.

BUT YOU DON'T LOOK
TOO DANGEROUS.

HOW'S YOUR SISTER?

LESLIE'S
GREAT.

SHE CAN'T WAIT
TO GET TO HIGH SCHOOL.

AND YOUR DAD?

WE MISSED HIM AT THE
LAST P.T.A. MEETING.

THAT WAS MY FAULT.

IT WAS HIS BIRTHDAY

SO WE TOOK HIM OUT
TO DINNER.

GUYS.

SO YOU'RE THE BIG
WHEELER-DEALERS.

ALL RIGHT.

FINE.

WHAT ARE YOU
GIVING THESE GUYS?

FIVE PERCENT--
FINDER'S FEE.

THAT'S A LIE.

BUT THAT'S OKAY.

I DON'T CARE.

YOU GOT SOMETHING FOR US?

I NEVER CARRY ANYTHING MORE
THAN MY CAR KEYS.

THEY'VE GOT
SOMETHING FOR YOU.

AREN'T YOU GOING
TO COUNT IT?

NAH.

IF IT'S NOT ALL THERE,
I'LL KILL YOU.

SO WHY SHOULD I COUNT IT?

Birch:
THERE ARE
COPS HERE.

Gibb:
SO WHAT?

THEY'RE HERE FOR LUNCH
LIKE US.

HEY, BABE-- THE USUAL.

YOU BOYS SUPPOSED TO BE
OFF-CAMPUS THIS TIME OF DAY?

WE'RE HONOR ROLL STUDENTS.

WE GET FREE TIME AT LUNCH.

NICE TRY.

MY KIDS WENT TO WEST UNION.

THERE IS NO OFF-CAMPUS.

OKAY, GUYS,
BACK TO SCHOOL.

UP, UP,
UP, UP.

YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE

YOU'RE GOING
BACK TO SCHOOL.

NO, SIR, I'VE FINISHED
MY EDUCATIONAL PROCESS.

WHOA.

YOU BRING
YOUR LUNCH HERE?

WHAT'S IN THE SACK?

WHAT?
YOU GOT A WARRANT?

A WARRANT?

I GOT PROBABLE CAUSE
TO OPEN YOUR CRANIUM

JUST LOOKING AT YOU, KID.

( girls screaming )

WEREN'T THERE COPS
EVERYWHERE?

30 COPS, DRUG DOGS,
AND A S.W.A.T. TEAM.

A S.W.A.T. TEAM?

THEY HAD TO.

TOMMY McQUAID
ALWAYS CARRIES A GUN.

HE KILLED SOMEONE ONCE.

HE SHOT A COP?

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU KNOW THE EXPRESSION,
"WHEN THE SMOKE CLEARED?"

KNOW HOW MANY
BULLETS ARE FIRED

TO MAKE SMOKE
LIKE THAT?

McQuaids:
HELLO!

YOU GUYS NEVER
HEARD OF BAIL?

WE'LL GET
DETENTION

FOR BEING
LATE.

BUT MR. HARRIS,
WE COULDN'T COME TO CLASS--

WE WAS IN JAIL.

YEAH!

TWO MORE WEEKS
AT SCHOOL

WITH NOTHING TO DO,
BUT BE AT SCHOOL.

BUT YOU'RE
FORGETTING...

Both:
WE'RE THE McQUAID BROTHERS!

HAH!

Hanson:
GO AWAY.

GIVE ME YOUR JELL-O.

( speaking softly ):
THIS IS A WASTE

OF TWO HIGHLY-TRAINED
CITY EMPLOYEES.

WE'RE DOING NOTHING

BUT WAITING AROUND
TO BE WITNESSES.

I HATE DOING NOTHING.

YEAH, BUT IT'S FUN.

Boy:
HEY!

HI.

DOES YOUR MAMA
KNOW YOU'RE HERE?

YOU KNOW YOU COULD
GET DISEASES

TALKING TO US?

YEAH, WELL, I'M GOING
TO GET SOME MORE TARTAR SAUCE.

ALL RIGHT, DIANE.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

CAN I TALK TO YOU FOR A MINUTE?

YOU WANT THE LOWDOWN
ON THE BUST?

YOU WRITING AN EDITORIAL
FOR THE PAPER?

YOU REALLY DID WHAT PEOPLE SAY.

I KNOW THAT.

WHAT ARE THEY SAYING?

I KNOW THAT THEY'RE TRUE.

WHY DON'T YOU
HIT THE ROAD, DIANE?

YOU'RE FINDING IT OUT,
AREN'T YOU?

WHAT?

THAT BEING A LOWLIFE WORKS.

ESPECIALLY WITH THEM
GIRL SCOUT TYPES
YOU GO FOR.

YOU WANT TO GET DOGGED
IN THIS WORLD

YOU GOT TO BE A DOG.

THINK ABOUT IT.

THAT'S MY BROTHER'S SEAT.

I NEED TO KNOW IF IT'S TRUE
THAT YOU KILLED SOMEONE.

LET'S SAY IT IS.

WHICH IS MORE REASON
FOR YOU NOT TO BE HERE.

WOULD YOU DO IT AGAIN?

I DON'T KNOW.

I SUPPOSE IF I HAD TO.

WHY?
WHAT'S UP?

WOULD YOU DO IT FOR MONEY?

I DON'T THINK
YOU WANT TO DO THIS.

I HAVE $1,700 SAVED.

ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS
IF YOU'LL KILL SOMEONE.

YOU'VE DONE
IT BEFORE.

SOMEONE GIVE YOU TROUBLE
IN STUDY HALL?

GIVE IT TIME--
IT'LL PASS.

I HAVE $1,700 SAVED.

IT'S ALL I HAVE.

I'LL GIVE IT
TO YOU

IF YOU'LL KILL MY FATHER.

I CAN BRING
THE MONEY IN TOMORROW.

Fuller:
UNTIL THE D.A.
IS CONVINCED

HE CAN TURN
ELLY AND BIRCH

GIBB IS OUT
ON BAIL.

THIS GIBB
IS SERIOUS.

THREE FELONY PRIORS

INCLUDING ASSAULT
WITH A DEADLY.

YOU BE CAREFUL OUT THERE.

IF HE FINDS OUT
WHO YOU ARE

HE WILL
KILL YOU.

AND THAT GENERATES
MASSIVE PAPERWORK.

DON'T LET IT HAPPEN.

FREEZE!

DON'T EVEN
BLINK!

DOUG, IT'S ME.

IT MUST BE LATE.

CAN I TALK
TO YOU?

I'VE REALLY GOT
TO TALK TO SOMEBODY.

WHAT TIME IS IT?

IT'S ALMOST 4:00.

YOU WANT
SOMETHING?

NO, NO.

WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL?

YOU WOULDN'T
HAVE LET ME IN.

I KNOW.

WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL?

LOOK, DOUG,
CAN I TALK?

YEAH, I'M UP.

YOU'RE HERE.

LET'S TALK.

CAN I REALLY
TALK TO YOU--

LIKE OFF THE RECORD?

YEAH, SURE,
WE'RE FRIENDS.

THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU'RE MY FRIEND.

I CAN TRUST YOU.

PROMISE YOU WON'T
TURN ME IN?

WHAT HAPPENED?
WHAT DID YOU DO?

YOU KNOW DIANE NELSON?

MM-HMM.

SHE, UH...

SHE, UH...

"SHE, UH..." WHAT?

SHE OFFERED ME $1,700
TO MURDER HER FATHER.

WHAT?

SHE ASKED YOU TO PARTICIPATE

IN A SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES
CLASS "A" FELONY MURDER?

OF HER FATHER?

I'M TELLING FULLER!

WAIT A SECOND,
YOU SAID...

AND NOW
I'M IMPLICATED.

ALL RIGHT.

ALL YOU DO
IS SIGN.

IT'S DATED.

IT'S ON PAPER.

YOU'RE COVERED.

I STICK IT IN MY POCKET

AND FORGET TO TURN IT IN.

IT'S MY FAULT.

I DON'T LIKE IT.

YOU DID EVERYTHING BY THE BOOK.

IT'S MY FAULT.

FINE, BUT I STILL
DON'T LIKE IT.

WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE

IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE DAY?

WE'RE THE McQUAID
BROTHERS--

WE CAN SKIP CLASS
TO KEEP UP WITH
OUR PAPERWORK.

HAH!

THE ASSIGNMENT DID NOT
END WITH THE BUST.

I'M NOT THRILLED

WITH THE ATTITUDE HERE.

YOU ARE TO BE
IN SCHOOL ON TIME--

OR ON TIME FOR THE McQUAIDS--
HAH-- FROM NOW ON.

WE WERE...

NO BUTS.

WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER?

YES, SIR.

THIS IS NUTS, MAN.

( school bell rings )

TOMMY, I'VE GOT SOMETHING
FOR YOU IF YOU WANT IT.

WE CAN'T
DO IT HERE.

COME ON.

MRS. BRAVERMAN LETS ME
USE THIS ROOM TO STUDY

IF I HAVE AN OFF PERIOD.

BEING GOOD HAS
ITS ADVANTAGES, HUH?

HERE.

PUT THAT AWAY.

YOU SAID YOU'D DO IT.

I DIDN'T EVEN SAY
I'D THINK ABOUT DOING IT.

MAYBE I WILL,
AND MAYBE I WON'T.

GIVE ME THE MONEY
WHEN THE JOB IS DONE.

OKAY.

I HAVE TO KNOW WHY.

IT DOESN'T MATTER--
I'M PAYING YOU.

IT INTERESTS ME, DIANE.

YOU WANT ME TO WHACK THE GUY.

I WANT TO KNOW WHY.

NOW... WHAT IS IT?

IS IT MONEY?

IS HE A HARD GUY?

DOES HE BEAT YOU?

YOU GOT BRUISES
ON THOSE PRETTY ARMS?

JUST TAKE THE MONEY.

LOOK, NOTHING YOU COULD SAY
WOULD SURPRISE ME.

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

EITHER YOU'LL DO IT
OR YOU WON'T.

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

MAYBE YOU'RE NOT AS TOUGH
AS THEY SAY.

MAYBE.

MAYBE I DON'T LIKE
THE IDEA OF GOING IN BLIND.

I'M SORRY--
IT'S THE ONLY WAY.

I'LL LET YOU KNOW.

KEEP AN EYE
ON THAT MONEY.

THERE ARE A LOT OF SHADY
CHARACTERS AROUND HERE.

SO, WHO IS THIS?

JUST A GIRL.

I'M NOT GENERALLY AVAILABLE
FOR OTHER PEOPLE'S PAPERWORK.

WHAT'S ALL THE MYSTERY?

NOTHING-- I'VE BEEN
BUSY ON A CASE.

COULD I HAVE THAT?

YOU'RE NOT
WORKING ON A CASE.

YOU WERE ON A CASE.

YOU ALREADY
MADE THE BUST.

LAY OFF, HARRY.

WHAT DID YOU GET FOR ME?

NOT MUCH--
A FAMILY DISTURBANCE ONCE.

IT'S NOT SURPRISING
NOTHING'S THERE.

IT'S NOT?

IT'S NOT HARD TO QUASH SOMETHING
WHEN YOU HAVE RANK.

RANK?

CLARENCE NELSON.

HER FATHER'S CLARENCE NELSON.

HEAD OF THE
ADMINISTRATIVE BRANCH.

HE'S A COP.

YOU DIDN'T KNOW?

HOLY COW.

WHO IS SHE?

OH, UH... IT'S JUST A GIRL.

I'M HERE TO PICK UP
THE NELSON FILES.

I GOT NO
PAPERWORK ON IT.

WHO REQUESTED IT?

CAPTAIN NELSON REQUESTED IT.

HE REQUESTED HIS OWN FILE?

I NEED SOME KIND OF OKAY.

YOU'RE GOING TO CALL HIM?

DON'T BOTHER.

SIGN ON FOR FOOT PATROL.

LOOK, OFFICER...
RASKIN--

THIS MAN LIVES
FOR PAPERWORK.

HE RUNS ADMINISTRATIVE.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT,
IT'S BECAUSE YOU LOST IT.

BUT, HEY, MAKE THE CALL.

YOU'LL SEE SECTIONS OF DOWNTOWN
YOU NEVER DREAMED OF.

WHOA, WHERE YOU GOING?

PAPER GETS LOST
ALL THE TIME.

COME ON.

COME ON.

YEAH?

CAN I TRUST YOU?

I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW YOU THAT WELL YET.

MAYBE YOU CAN

MAYBE YOU CAN'T.

YOUR CALL.

THIS GIRL ASKED ME
TO KILL HER FATHER.

I DID THE WRONG THING
BY NOT TURNING HER IN

BUT I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

I'M NEW AT THIS.

YOU'VE BEEN DOING
THIS FOR 20 YEARS

BUT I'M NEW.

THIS IS A
CLASS "A" FELONY.

THIS IS A SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES
REQUEST FOR MURDER

WHICH IN THIS STATE MEANS

SHE CAN GO
TO THE CHAIR FOR THIS.

YOU SAT ON THIS?

IT'S MY FAULT.

MY PARTNER
DILIGENTLY COMPLETED...

SURE, SURE.

PENHALL,
GET IN HERE!

HE HAD NO KNOWLEDGE
OF MY ACTION.

A) DON'T EVER GIVE ME

"MY PARTNER DID THIS;
I DID THAT."

THAT'S
JUNIOR
LEAGUE.

B) THIS WAS A FELONY.

DON'T HOLD BACK FELONIES.

IS THAT CLEAR?

YES, SIR.

IS EVERYTHING HERE?

YES, SIR.
NO.

WHAT MORE?

DIANE'S FATHER
IS CLARENCE NELSON.

CAPTAIN CLARENCE NELSON,
HEAD OF ADMINISTRATIVE.

THIS JUST GETS
BETTER AND BETTER.

THIS AFTERNOON I SCAMMED
THE RECORDS CLERK

INTO SEEING
HIS PERSONAL FILES.

HOW'D YOU DO THAT?

I PRESENTED MYSELF
AS NELSON'S ASSISTANT.

IN ADDITION TO
FAMILY DISTURBANCES
THAT WERE QUASHED

THIS MAN'S GOT A FILE
LIKE SWISS CHEESE.

THE IMPLICATION
SEEMS TO BE

ONE OF ILLEGAL
ACTIVITIES, SIR.

UH-HUH.

AND HOW WOULD YOU CLASSIFY YOUR
ACTIVITIES OF THIS AFTERNOON

OFFICER HANSON?

ALL RIGHT, HANSON,
"SIRS" AND PROCEDURES ASIDE

DO YOU THINK
THERE'S A CASE HERE?

I DO THINK THERE'S A CASE.

MAYBE I'VE GOT CLEARANCE
TO PULL THE REST OF HIS FILES

OR I'LL CASH IN FAVORS DOWNTOWN.

ALL RIGHT,
HANSON.

GO BACK,
TURN DOWN
THIS OFFER

OF ASSASSINATING
A POLICE CAPTAIN.

GIVE ME THE REPORT.

I'LL SIT ON IT.

THAT WAY, I'M RESPONSIBLE.

IT'S THE OTHER ONE

THAT CARRIES
THE GUN, RIGHT?

WE GOT TO DO THIS,
RIGHT?

THIS MUST BE
THE TIME, RIGHT?

SIT DOWN.

I KNOW, I KNOW--

GOT TO GO SEE THE PRINCIPAL.

PERILS OF BEING A McQUAID.

WHERE'S McQUAID
NUMBER TWO?

GOOD QUESTION.

DIANE, I HAVE
TO TURN YOU DOWN.

WOULD YOUR
BROTHER DO IT?

NOT A CHANCE.

IS IT THE MONEY?

IF I GOT MORE MONEY,
COULD YOU DO IT?

I COULD BORROW
FROM SOMEONE

OR SELL SOMETHING.

I JUST AIN'T
DOING IT, DIANE.

AND YOU'RE NOT
EQUIPPED TO DO IT...

YOU DO IT!

YOU SAID YOU'D DO IT.

YOU SAID
YOU'D DO IT.

LOOK, DIANE...

JUST GO AWAY.

GO AWAY.

I DON'T KNOW WHY

WE LET YOU BACK IN HERE
AFTER YOUR ARREST.

Doug:
IT'S A LITTLE CUSTOM

CALLED INNOCENT
UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.

PERHAPS, BUT OUR HALLS
WOULD BE SAFER

WITHOUT YOU
IN THEM.

HALLS, HUH?

I WAS WASHING MY HANDS
WHEN THESE MUTANTS

DECIDED
TO REDECORATE.

I WAS A BYSTANDER

CAUGHT IN THEIR
ARTISTIC FRENZY.

I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE.

HE ATTACKED US
WITHOUT WARNING.

I ATTACKED
THE TWO OF YOU?

WHAT AM I, STUPID?

ENOUGH!

A WEEK SUSPENSION
FOR EACH OF YOU

AND TWO WEEKS FOR YOU.

THERE'S TWO OF THEM
SO THEY GET A WEEK APIECE?

WOULD YOU LIKE THREE?

THAT'S NOT WHAT
I HAD IN MIND.

THAT'S WHAT
YOU GOT.

I DIDN'T ASK HIM
TO SUSPEND ME.

IT ONLY GOT OUT OF HAND

'CAUSE I HAD TO TAKE ON
BOTH OF THEM AND WIN.

WHERE WERE YOU?

I WAS TELLING DIANE

I COULDN'T MURDER
HER FATHER TONIGHT.

OH, THAT.

WELL, THIS TAPPED OUT
MY FAVORS DOWNTOWN FOR A WHILE.

THIS IS OBLIQUE STUFF, GUYS.

IT'S NOT A CASE.

WE'RE TALKING BETWEEN THE LINES.

FOUR YEARS AGO,
NELSON'S WIFE DIED.

THERE WERE A SERIES

OF DOMESTIC DISTURBANCES
THAT FOLLOWED--

ALL QUIETLY SUPPRESSED.

AN APPEARANCE
IN FAMILY COURT

THAT GOT CANCELED.

THE FAMILY COURT DATE
WAS FOR TRUANCY.

AFTER HER MOTHER'S
DEATH, DIANE RAN AWAY

AND LIVED
WITH HER AUNT.

SHE'S BACK WITH HER FATHER NOW.

THERE WAS A CONFIDENTIAL
RECOMMENDATION

FOR COUNSELING OF SOME SORT.

EVEN I COULDN'T
GET TO THAT FILE.

I DON'T GET IT.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

I THINK I KNOW.

I THINK WE'RE LOOKING
AT SEXUAL MOLESTATION.

AND THIS GUY'S A COP.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD WHACK HIM.

MAYBE I'LL DO IT FOR YOU.

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.

WE COULD BE WRONG.

MAYBE WE'RE
MISREADING
ALL OF THIS.

IF WE'RE WRONG, WE'RE WRONG.

IF NOT, YOU NEED TO GET
THAT GIRL OUT OF THERE.

TO DO THAT,
YOU NEED TO GET
HER TO FILE CHARGES.

I DON'T THINK THAT WILL HAPPEN.

EVEN THE TIME
THAT I SPENT WITH HER...

I GUESS WE WRITE THIS ONE OFF,
MOVE ON TO ANOTHER CASE.

WAIT, I'LL GET IT DONE.

THIS TIME IF
SHE HOLDS BACK

SHE'S GOING TO HATE ME
WHEN I'M THROUGH

BUT I'LL GET IT DONE.

HI.

HI.

YOU DON'T HAVE
ANY GROCERIES.

NO, I NEED
TO TALK TO YOU.

YOU HAVEN'T
CHANGED YOUR MIND.

NO. DIANE, I'M NOT
WHO YOU THINK I AM.

I WAS AT WEST UNION
TO BUY DRUGS.

I KNOW THAT.

I'M A COP.

REALLY, I'M A COP.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I WANT TO TALK
ABOUT YOUR FATHER.

ALL THIS WAS
TO GET TO MY FATHER?

YOU CAME TO ME,
YOU ASKED ME TO KILL HIM.

WE PULLED HIS RECORDS.

WE KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

NOTHING'S GOING ON.

IT WAS A MISTAKE.

LOOK AT ME, I WANT TO HELP YOU

BUT YOU'VE GOT
TO HELP ME.

I DON'T WANT
YOUR HELP ANYMORE.

AM I IN TROUBLE?

YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.

HOW CAN I BE IN TROUBLE?

DIANE, YOUR FATHER--
HE TOUCHES YOU, DOESN'T HE?

YOU WANTED TO KILL HIM

BECAUSE HE'S SEXUALLY
ASSAULTING YOU.

HE PROBABLY HAS BEEN
FOR YEARS,

MAYBE SINCE
YOUR MOTHER DIED

MAYBE BEFORE.

YOU NEVER KNEW MY MOTHER.

HOW CAN YOU TALK
ABOUT MY MOTHER?

I WANT YOU TO FILE CHARGES.

IT'S THE ONLY WAY I CAN
GET YOU OUT OF THERE.

HE WOULD JUST GET ME BACK.

I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING.

NOBODY WILL BELIEVE ME.

I EVEN TRIED CALLED THE COPS
IN THE BEGINNING-- TWICE.

IT DIDN'T WORK,
IT WON'T THIS TIME.

THIS TIME'S DIFFERENT.

I'M NOT SOME BEAT COP
WHO JUST SHOWS UP.

I BELIEVE YOU.

COME ON.

I'M GOING TO BE LATE.

I HAVE TO GO HOME.

I WON'T FILE CHARGES.

DON'T BOTHER ME
AGAIN, OKAY?

GET YOU SOMETHING?

NO.

YEAH, WATER.

ICE WATER.

Waitress:
ONE ICE WATER.

YOU DON'T DRINK?

I DRINK WHEN I DRINK.

I'M MAD WHEN I'M MAD.

I DON'T DRINK NOT TO BE MAD.

YEAH?

YEAH.

WOULD YOU MAKE THAT A DRAFT?

SHE WON'T
FILE CHARGES.

SHE'S TERRIFIED OF HER FATHER,
AND FOR GOOD REASON.

SHE CALLED BEFORE,
AND DAD SHUT IT UP.

EACH OF THOSE
SECRET FILES

IS WHEN SHE
TRIED TO CALL OUT

AND WE WOULDN'T
HELP HER.

DID YOU LEAN HARD?

YOU DIDN'T
JUST ASK NICE.

I DIDN'T ASK NICE.

I BROKE HER DOWN

IN THE PRODUCE
SECTION.

SHE ADMITTED WHAT WAS UP.

SHE CRIED.

SHE TURNED ME DOWN.

SHE FINISHED HER SHOPPING.

WE GOT TO DO
SOMETHING.

HOW CAN SHE STAY
IN THAT HOUSE?

SHE WON'T TAKE A WAY OUT.

WE CAN GET HER OUT,
BUT IT WON'T BE A PRETTY SCENE.

KIDNAPPING'S AN OFFENSE

BUT IT CROSSED MY MIND.

WE CAN HAVE HER ARRESTED
FOR SOLICITATION OF MURDER.

SHE'LL BE BOOKED,
PROCESSED AND HELD.

THEN IF SHE'S
BEING MOLESTED

WE CAN DROP
THE CHARGES

BECAUSE
OF CIRCUMSTANCES.

PUT HER IN JUVENILE HOLDING?

COME ON, CAPTAIN,
SHE'S THE VICTIM HERE.

IT WILL GET HER
OUT OF THERE.

ONCE SHE'S OUT,
DAD ISN'T THERE EVERY DAY.

IT'S A STEP
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

IT'S THE ONLY ONE I SEE.

I DON'T WANT SOME FACE
IN A UNIFORM

TO WALK IN AND BUST HER.

YOU'VE GOT RANK,
I'VE GOT A BADGE.

LET ME TAKE HER OUT MYSELF.

THAT'S NOT REGULATION.

COME ON.

ALL RIGHT, I CAN HAVE
AN ARREST WARRANT BY DAWN.

WE'RE ENOUGH ON
THE LINE ALREADY.

DON'T SCREW THIS UP.

THANKS, MAN.

( knocking )

CAN I HELP YOU?

YEAH, I'D LIKE TO SEE
DIANE NELSON, PLEASE.

Father:
WHO IS IT,
LESLIE?

SOME BOY WHO WANTS
TO SEE DIANE, DADDY.

THANK YOU.

DIANE, THERE'S A BOY HERE
FOR YOU.

WHAT DO
YOU WANT?

LET'S GO
IN THE KITCHEN.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?
GO AWAY!

GET YOUR SISTER
OUT OF HERE NOW.

LESLIE.

GO OVER TO THE HENDERSONS.

DON'T COME OUT
FOR ANYONE, NOT EVEN DAD

TILL I COME GET YOU.

WHY?

JUST DO IT, OKAY?

YOU CAN'T STAY HERE.

I'M ARRESTING YOU
FOR SOLICITATION

OF MURDER
OF YOUR FATHER.

YOU WON'T
BE JAILED.

IT'S JUST A WAY OUT.

NO! I CAN'T.

I WON'T.

IT'S NOT
YOUR CHOICE.

IF I WALK OUT,
TWO COPS WALK IN

AND TAKE YOU
OUT IN CUFFS.

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

HE'S MAKING ME
GO WITH HIM.

DON'T LET HIM
MAKE ME GO.

DIANE IS NOT GOING
ANYWHERE.

I'M OFFICER TOM HANSON.

YOUR DAUGHTER
IS UNDER ARREST

FOR THE SOLICITATION
OF YOUR MURDER

WHICH WE BELIEVE
TO BE THE RESULT
OF SEXUAL ABUSE.

I HAVE A WARRANT FOR HER ARREST.

I'D LIKE TO SEE
YOUR BADGE.

COME ON, DIANE.

DIANE'S NOT
GOING ANYWHERE.

STAND BACK!

HANDS OFF
MY DAUGHTER!

I SAID,
STAND BACK!

TAKE OUT A GUN
IN MY HOUSE?!

I'M A COP!

( gunfire )

YOU ALL RIGHT?

I SHOT HIM.

I'M SORRY.

I HAD NO CHOICE.

ARE YOU OKAY?

YEAH.

GET AN AMBULANCE!

WE SCREWED UP.

HOW IS SHE?

SHE'S SEDATED AND
GOING TO THE HOSPITAL.

SHE SAID SHE HIRED YOU

TO KILL
HER DAD.

OFFICER HANSON
WAS HERE

TO EXECUTE AN ARREST
FOR THAT CRIME.

THE ARREST OF A VERY TROUBLED
LITTLE GIRL.

LOOKS LIKE HE TRIED

TO LIVE UP
TO HIS CONTRACT.

THAT'S OUT OF LINE.

Tench:
CAPTAIN--

WITHHELD PAPERWORK

COPS SHOOTING COPS,
MURDER CONTRACTS--

THE PRESS WILL
HAVE A FIELD DAY.

I, HOWEVER,
OFFICIALLY

HAVE NO OPINION YET.

OFFICER HANSON,
I MUST ASK YOU FOR YOUR GUN

AND YOUR BADGE.

I GAVE IT TO ANOTHER OFFICER
IN THERE.

MAY I HAVE YOUR BADGE?

THE REST OF
THE I.A.D. TEAM

IS WAITING
TO QUESTION
YOU DOWNTOWN.

NO CUFFS.

IT'S PROCEDURE, CAPTAIN.

NO CUFFS,
DETECTIVE.

THAT'S MY PROCEDURE.

HAVEN'T WE HAD ENOUGH

OF YOUR PROCEDURE, CAPTAIN?

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

IT'S OKAY.

Tench:
ESCORT THIS
GENTLEMAN

TO I.A.D.,
PLEASE.

WELL, KEEP ME POSTED.

NELSON'S GOING TO LIVE.

HE WON'T BE
SAYING ANYTHING
FOR A FEW DAYS

BUT HE'LL LIVE.

AM I UNDER ARREST?

NO, YOU'RE UNDER
INVESTIGATION.

IS THERE ANYTHING
YOU WANT TO ADD

TO YOUR STATEMENT?

NO.

IT'S QUITE
A DOCUMENT.

YOU LIKE THIS PART OF THE JOB,
DON'T YOU?

NOW, THIS YOUNG LADY CAME IN
FROM OUT OF THE BLUE.

SHE ASKED YOU
TO MURDER HER FATHER

WHO TURNED OUT
TO BE A COP.

THAT'S THE WAY IT HAPPENED.

I'M NOT ARGUING WITH YOU.

YOUR STORY
BACKS UP.

I THINK YOU WENT
IN THERE TO DO

EXACTLY WHAT
YOU SAID.

I THINK YOU TOOK
AN UNORTHODOX APPROACH

BUT THAT'S UP
TO THE REVIEW BOARD.

SO MAYBE WE CAN LEAVE--

FIND A PLACE
WITH BETTER COFFEE.

LET ME LAY THIS
OUT, CAPTAIN.

WE HAVE A CHIEF
ADMINISTRATIVE COP

WHO YOUR MAN SHOT

FOR WHATEVER REASONS

WHO, APPARENTLY,
ON A LONG-TERM BASIS

WAS SEXUALLY ABUSING
HIS ELDEST DAUGHTER.

THAT'S PAGE ONE
FOR AT LEAST A WEEK.

YOU'RE GOING
TO GET TRIED
IN THE PRESS

AND YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE.

IS MY FATHER DEAD?

HE'S GOING
TO BE ALL RIGHT.

I'M GLAD, I GUESS.

AM I GOING TO JAIL?

NO, I DON'T THINK
YOU'RE GOING TO JAIL.

LOOK, MY REAL NAME
IS TOM HANSON.

I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW SORRY I AM.

I MADE YOU DO IT.

YOU DIDN'T MAKE ANYBODY
DO ANYTHING.

FEEL ALL RIGHT?

JUST TIRED, I GUESS.

MUST BE THOSE PILLS.

I JUST WANTED
TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE OKAY.

I CAN GO.

NO, STAY.

YOU KEPT COMING BACK.

EVEN THOUGH
YOU WOULDN'T
LET ME HIRE YOU.

EVEN THEN YOU
KEPT COMING BACK.

I WAS WORRIED ABOUT YOU, DIANE.

I KNOW.

ARE YOU GOING TO JAIL?

WELL, SOME OF THAT
COULD DEPEND ON YOU.

LOOK, I KNOW IT'S
GOING TO BE HARD.

PEOPLE ARE GOING TO COME

TO TALK TO YOU
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.

SOME OF THEM ARE DOCTORS.

SOME ARE POLICE OFFICERS.

I DON'T WANT TO TALK
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.

I JUST WANT IT
TO GO AWAY.

NOBODY CAN MAKE YOU
TALK ABOUT ANYTHING

YOU DON'T WANT
TO TALK ABOUT.

GOOD.

THEN IT'S FINE.

MY FATHER MOLESTED ME!

YOU REALLY WANT ME
TO TALK ABOUT THIS?

I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE

COULD BE HELPED FROM IT.

NO ONE'S GOING TO LIKE ME.

NO ONE'S EVER GOING
TO LIKE ME AGAIN.

I'M DISGUSTING.

( sobbing )

THEY'RE YOURS
AGAIN FOR NOW.

AND SOME GOOD NEWS.

IT DOESN'T LOOK AS IF DIANE
WILL FACE THE SOLICITATION

OF MURDER
CHARGE.

IF IT CAN BE SHOWN
THAT THE ACT

WAS "PRECIPITATED BY
HER EMOTIONAL STATE"

THE D.A. WON'T FILE.

WHAT IF HE CAN'T?

SHE'S UNDER 18.

ANY JUDGE WHO WANTS
TO BE REELECTED

WOULD LET HER WALK
WITH PROBATION.

I REALLY HATE HER FATHER
FOR WHAT HE DID.

IT'S A SICKNESS.

DOESN'T EVEN
DESERVE YOUR HATE.

MAYBE YOUR PITY.

MAYBE.

YOU EVER SHOT ANYBODY?

YEAH.

I NEVER SHOT ANYBODY BEFORE.

I KNOW.

HOW DO YOU FEEL?

I DON'T KNOW.

I GUESS I'M JUST WAITING
FOR IT TO HIT ME.

LET IT WHEN IT DOES.

SEE SOMEBODY.

TAKE SOME TIME.

OKAY?

YEAH.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO DIANE?

MY GUESS IS SHE'LL ELECT TO
BE HER SISTER'S GUARDIAN.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
IS GOING TO HAVE TO
COUGH UP SOME CHANGE.

SHE'LL GET THERAPY.

SHE'S YOUNG.

SHE'S GOT A GOOD
CHANCE, HANSON.

( jubilant yell )

GET YOUR BADGE BACK?

YEAH.

GOOD, BECAUSE ELLY AND BIRCH

ARE DEALING AGAIN.

THIS ISN'T THE TIME.

ARE YOU A COP?

YEAH.

WELL, NOW IS THE TIME.

MAN'S RIGHT, HANSON.

GO EARN YOUR CHECK.

HAH!

SORRY I DIDN'T KNOCK.

Hanson:
WE HEARD YOU GUYS WERE BACK.

JUST TOOK A BREAK.

YEAH-- SHOP'S
OPEN, MAN.

THESE GUYS
NEVER LEARN.

Max:
HEARD YOU
WERE BACK.

THESE GUYS
NEVER LEARN.

GUYS--

WE'VE GOT SOME BAD NEWS.

AGAINST THE WALL.

YOU'RE THE POLICE?

YEAH.

Birch:
HEY, YOU
CAN'T DO THAT.

YEAH.

UH-HUH.

NOW, THAT'S MORE LIKE IT.

I FEEL SILLY DOING THIS.

DON'T.

IT'S A WALK
ALONG THE BEACH.

I MEAN WITH YOU.

I WANT TO SPEND SOME
TIME WITH YOU, DIANE.

NOBODY MADE ME.

OKAY.

ARE YOU ALLOWED
TO DO THIS?

NO.

NOW I REALLY
FEEL SILLY.

FORGET IT.

HOW'S STUFF?

I'M OKAY, I GUESS.

KNOW WHAT THEY TELL ME?

IT'S NOT LIKE
I HAVE LEUKEMIA

OR I'M GOING TO DIE.

THERE WERE TIMES
WHEN I WANTED TO DIE.

IT'S FUNNY.

IT WAS HARDER
ON MY SISTER.

I KNEW IT WAS COMING.

SUPPOSEDLY THE WORST
THING SOMEONE CAN DO

IS NOT TELL ANYBODY.

I CAN UNDERSTAND
YOUR HOLDING BACK.

I WAS GETTING OUT.

I WAS GOING AWAY
TO COLLEGE.

THEN I REALIZED
I'D BE LEAVING MY SISTER.

I MISS THE PART OF HIM
THAT WAS A FATHER.

THERE WERE GOOD
PARTS TO HIM, TOO.

EVERYBODY SEEMS
TO FORGET THAT NOW.

YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO KEEP
THOSE PARTS, SHOULDN'T YOU?

WHAT HE'S GOT IS A DISEASE.

IT'S NOT LIKE
IT CAN'T BE DEALT WITH.

YOU NEVER REALLY
FOOLED ME, TOM HANSON.

TOMMY McQUAID,
TOUGH GUY?

YOU WERE
UNDER THERE.

THANK YOU.

NO, NO, NO, NO--
THANK YOU.

YOU DON'T BOWL, DO YOU?

( laughing )
