NARRATOR: Last time
on "Crime Story."
JULIE: I'll be
ready in a second.
-Can I leave?
-Shut up!
-Sit down.
-What the hell is he doing here?
JULIE: I thought you-- you
were supposed to be in Toledo.
-What the hell is going on?
Where do you think you're going?
-Out.
It's over, Michael.
-What do you wanna talk about?
Julie?
-MICHAEL: No.
-No?
No?
You know what?
I do.
Kills me.
I see two people, who I
care about more than all
the other jerks in this
city, who love each other,
are decent human
beings, and still
manage to miss each other.
Ah.
Any chance of you guys
pulling it together?
-I don't think so.
You know, most guys say they
wanna know when their wives are
cheating on them, that
they can deal with it.
-Michael, please.
-And what was he
doing in my house?
-Would you keep your voice down?
-The question
deserves an answer.
-Because he gives me
what you won't-- can't.
I dunno.
Attention and affection?
I need more in my life.
-So what you do, Julie, huh?
You fall for the first
guy that comes around
that's got a big
smile on his face
and knows how to say
please and thank you?
-At least he's there.
-I'm your husband!
What do we do?
Divorce?
Look me right in
my eyes and tell me
that you want me
out of your life.
-When can you pick
up your clothes?
JULIE (VOICEOVER): I
dunno what I think anymore
about having children, Michael.
What's happening to us?
They haven't invented the
hard time we can't handle.
-I really do love her, but
I really screwed it up.
-No, no, no.
No, it takes two people
to make a marriage,
and two to break a marriage.
Listen.
I'm opening my own agency.
All right?
I'm handling pension
funds and everything.
I'll let you write
your own ticket.
Huh?
-I really don't
feel like talking
about pension funds, Ted.
-I'm Mr. Novak's personal
assistant, Inger Thorsson.
Maybe I can be of some help.
-How long have you been
working for the Novaks?
-Three years.
-Anybody in Novak's company
ask about his house?
Security systems?
Habits?
Stuff like that?
-No.
What are you looking for?
-I dunno.
But, uh, what kind
of name is "Inger?"
-Swedish.
-I thought most
Swedes were blondes.
-That's Norwegians.
-What's your relationship
with Mr. Novak?
-Professional or personal?
-Uh, Manny's
thinking of expanding
our business holdings in Vegas.
He's talking hotel casinos.
-Well, he owned the first one.
He practically started
the whole place.
What's he need more for?
-Expansion, Phil.
He thinks this new
707 jet airplane's
gonna make things
boom bigger than ever.
He's taking another one on the
strip, two, three downtown.
All you guys gotta do is make
sure the financing gets there.
-You're talking
about a lot of money.
You're talking about
millions, maybe 20 or 30.
-The money's there, Phil.
You're talking about
the biggest pension plan
in America-- the
Midwest Employees Union.
And all we gotta do is be
able to take one of our boys,
put him on the board of trustees
to get the majority, and boom.
We push it right through.
-There's a problem?
-Yeah.
-So what's the problem?
-This guy Steadman,
Hugo Steadman.
-Who are you?
Who do you work for?
-Let's look at this
way, Mr. Steadman.
There's an angel perched
on your shoulder.
We're looking after you.
That's all.
-Look, I was part of
building this union.
I stood on picket lines.
I froze.
I fought scabs and
dozens of punks like you.
This union works
for its membership.
It's my union.
You got something
to take up with it?
You pay your dues.
You do the job.
And it's not for
sale to no lowlifes.
And I don't need nobody
looking after me.
-The pension plan board is
looking for a new replacement.
-Years ago, I knew this
guy that helped build
that union during
the Depression.
His son is a successful and
very ambitious businessman.
He'll make a good trustee.
We put him on, he'll be
indebted and grateful.
Then we'll show him how
to repay his indebtedness.
His name is Ted Kehoe.
NARRATOR: This week
on "Crime Story."
-I can't believe this.
What are we doing in this place?
-We're making money.
-You're making me nervous!
This whole thing smacks
of being legitimate.
Where'd you get this idea?
-Making our money legit?
We need that, Phil.
-This is where you
and I part ways!
Right here!
Why can't we just use a safe?
-Our money's working for us.
Laundering layoff money through
a place like this is perfect.
You wanna spend big, you let
this place pick up the tab.
-The old way was better.
-Come on.
The old way?
The old way, you leave
yourself wide open.
Hey, Phil, this is
good management.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What's this over here?
-Hey, hey!
-Hey, hey, what?
I own this place!
-You should know to keep
your hands off the bottles.
-Listen to this.
I gotta take attitude here!
-Forget it, forget it.
Here comes Kehoe
and Marilyn Stewart.
He's the guy Manny plugged
into the pension fund.
He got us the bread
to get us in here.
She's the front
for the operation.
Now nice, huh?
This is Ted Kehoe, Phil Bartoli.
-Bartoli, pleasure.
-Hello.
-I'd like you to meet my
associate, Marilyn Stewart.
-How do you do?
-Hi.
-Marilyn's been
keeping a close eye
on things for you, gentlemen.
-Yeah, you're
operating in a profit
going into your second quarter.
This is very unusual,
considering the outlay.
-That's the way I'm
used to operating.
And I don't even
like this place.
Why don't we, uh,
just bleed this place
and move on to something else?
What's wrong with a good
old-fashioned whorehouse?
-I don't understand.
-You don't have to understand.
I'm the boss.
What's in the bank?
-Uh, $200,000.
-You go to the bank,
and you get that.
You bring that to me.
MARILYN: Why?
-A consulting fee.
Hahah.
-That'll bankrupt the whole--
-That's the point, my dear.
That's the point.
-Listen, hey, we can't--
-Just do it, Ted.
All right?
We'll straighten it out later.
-$200,000 will
kill this company.
-I'll take care of
covering the money.
Don't worry.
-You want me to do this?
-Marilyn, it's not a
big deal, all right?
Let's not create
any problems here.
Let's just do it.
-It's illegal.
Ted, who were those people?
They gave me the creeps.
-He needs to prove
he's the boss.
-How can you expect
me to be involved
with something like this?
-It's easy.
You have to trust me.
I know what I'm talking about.
It's for us as much as for them.
-If I give them that $200,000,
we'll default on a loan
that your pension fund made for
the purchase of this company.
-What?
Are you concerned I'm gonna
be in trouble with the board?
-Of course, you will!
-My friends are gonna
take care of us.
[music del shannon, "runaway"]
-What's so funny?
-Oh, nothing really.
It's just that I
haven't made love
to anybody but my
wife in seven years.
I feel naked.
-I'm getting married
in eight weeks.
-I'm getting divorced
in about eight minutes.
-One has nothing to
do with the other.
-Then what are we doing here?
-Maybe we're not here.
You're not you.
I'm not me.
-Somebody else here
having all this fun?
-We're together for the moment.
For right now.
Can't you see that?
-My life is such a mess.
I can't see anything.
But it doesn't seem magical
to me that all of this
is just a dream or a fantasy.
But then again, there isn't
much logic in my life anyway.
-What's that mean?
-That I wanna be here with you.
I don't give a damn
about anything else.
-Grrr!
A little jumpy, aren't we?
-Ray, we gotta talk.
-Yeah, I know.
We're gonna expand
into another casino.
So we'll be submitting
for another loan.
-Another loan?
-Mhm.
-You promised me that it
would cover the $200 grand
you already paid to Bartoli.
But you haven't, and
that loan is in default.
If it's not cleared by the
beginning of the next quarter,
you could be in big trouble.
-Yeah, I'll take care of it.
-Good.
You know, Marilyn
is beside herself.
She's worried she might
be criminally liable.
-I said, I'll take care of it!
That's all you need from me.
Now, I wanna move
on the new loan.
-Yeah, whatever you say, Ray.
I'll, uh, I'll work it
through the board of trustees.
You know, uh, Marilyn does not--
-Look!
Marilyn is your problem.
You make her understand, or
I'll explain the facts of life
to her myself.
-Mr. Breitel, I think my
fiance and I are in trouble,
and we need help.
He doesn't even know I'm here.
-Well, that's good.
Did you get anything else?
Yeah, right, right.
Hold on a minute.
Nate, Nate!
Uh-huh.
We caught a break, Danny.
Let's not ruin it.
Goodbye.
-I guess that means you've
got a lead on Holman.
Who's Ted Kehoe?
-Why?
All right.
We got a lead on Holman.
If it turns into something,
I'll let you know.
What about Kehoe?
-Some guys from Treasury have
uncovered what they think
is a money laundering
operation for the outfit.
It's a bottling company.
Kehoe is on the board.
He's also on the board of the
union that lent the company
startup money, and
lent $10 million
to a company owned
by Manny Weisbord
for the purchase of a casino.
The same company owns
the bottling company.
Treasury brought
it to the Bureau.
You're one of the people
they photographed Kehoe with.
-Who else?
-Who is he, Mike?
-He's my best friend.
We grew up together.
Went through Korea together.
-Some people at my
office love thinking
you're somehow involved in this?
-Mullen, for instance?
-Yeah, he isn't alone.
Some guys like the idea
of catching a dirty cop.
And seeing you with Kehoe, who
is in it up to his tie bar,
well, it's like dangling a bone
in front of a drooling dog.
-Who else was he
photographed with?
-Ray Luca.
-Remember we used to play
American Legion ball here?
We wanted to see our numbers
up there on the scoreboard?
-What's this about,
Michael, huh?
What's the matter with you?
-It's about the pension
fund, the factory,
your deal with Manny
Weisbord, Ray Luca.
-Hey, what the hell?
What?
Are you gonna push
me around too?
Now, what the hell's
the matter with you?
-I wanna know what's going on.
-What?
Have you lost your mind?
It's business-- my business.
-You know what you're
getting into with Luca?
What are you?
An outfit guy all of a sudden?
-Get outta here.
-Business?
What business could you
have with Luca and Weisbord?
-Weisbord is business.
That's all it is, Michael.
Don't know what
you're so upset about.
-Well, I'll make it
very clear for you.
He's an outfit boss.
Do you understand that?
-He's a legitimate businessman
when I deal with him,
all right?
The pension fund,
the factory-- it's
all legitimate and a
prudent investment.
So's the loan for the casino.
-What casino?
-Look, Michael, I accept I don't
know much about police work,
all right?
Now, you should accept you
don't know much about business!
-What does that mean?
-Business is conducted on a
deal by deal basis, all right?
If the deal's right, you do it!
Sometimes, it means you work
with guys involved in things
outside the deal that
aren't on the up and up.
I can't make every
deal I'm involved in
based on the other
guy's history.
Now, what I go on
is the one piece
of business being
straight and profitable.
-You wanna know what
I do know, Teddie?
That you don't make one
deal with Weisbord or Luca,
that once you're in,
you're in for the duration.
Which means the contract
expires when you do.
-Yeah, thanks.
-I need a favor, Pat,
a personal favor.
-Uh-huh.
-I need to look at the file.
-Mike.
-I need it.
-I can't do that.
-Look, you know how hard
I've worked on Luca.
Now, it turns out that my best
friend is tied up with him.
I gotta know how thick they are.
-I don't know if I can do it.
-Will you try?
-Kehoe's involved
with some big fish.
-And he's gonna
get swallowed up.
I want the same guys too,
and I wanna keep Ted safe.
If it's at all possible.
I might even get him to
work for you directly.
-On that, I'll let
you look at the file.
But Mike, if there's
the slightest hint
this is gonna cost
us-- just don't!
Don't.
-Sir, you-- sir!
-Get out.
-What is this, Ted?
-Get out.
Get out.
Get out!
-Uh, Bob, Bob!
What are you-- are you nuts?
That was smart.
That guy was the
president of one
of the largest
banks in the state.
-Good.
Remember how it was nagging me
about that little Korean guy
who kept getting his house
knocked down in Korea,
and then-- then he'd
rebuild it again?
And I kept asking myself why?
Why did he do it, huh?
You remember?
-What's the matter
with you, Mike?
-I got the answer, Teddie.
He did it, Teddie,
because he was a dummy.
And so are you.
You're a dummy,
and you're a liar.
You lie to me?
The FBI has you linked
to Bartoli and Luca.
They got you tied
into laundering money
for the-- for the outfit!
You hear me?
You lie to me?
I am the only guy on the
face of this Earth who
might-- might be
able to help you.
-Mike, now wait a minute here.
You--
-No, no, no, no, no.
-Don't understand.
I'm not--
-No, no, no, Teddie.
No, no, no, no.
You save the silky come
on for Marilyn Stewart.
They're watching her too.
You think about it.
You want my help,
you call me, huh?
This is a great office, Teddie.
Really pretty.
Really nice.
But so what, huh?
-M--Mike.
Mike?
Mike!
-Excuse, Marilyn Stewart?
-Yes, can I help you?
-My name is Lieutenant
Michael Torello.
I'm a friend of Ted Kehoe's.
-Oh yes.
He speaks of you.
-We have to talk.
-OK.
Uh, David, Julie,
stay in the yard!
-I came here because Ted is
in trouble, and so are you.
I don't wanna see either
one of you going to prison.
-What are you saying?
-Have you talked to the FBI
or to the federal attorney's
office?
-And why should I do that?
-Because you don't like
laundering mob money,
and because Ted set
you up for all this?
-Ted wouldn't do that, and I
don't know anything about mob
money, or federal
investigations, or anything.
-What you and Ted do
with your personal lives
is not my concern.
But I do care about
what happens to him.
-I appreciate your candor.
-You don't trust me, do you?
-It's not that.
-Then what is it?
Look, Miss Stewart,
Marilyn, I don't know you.
I don't know where
you came from.
But I do know that you and Ted
are involved up to your necks
with dangerous people
who will milk you
for everything that it's worth.
Very dangerous people.
-Lieutenant, Ted and
I are in a business.
We're insurance people
with other interests.
I think you're exaggerating.
-Here's my card.
When the heat gets too
unbearable, call me.
WOMAN (ON PHONE): United
States attorney's office?
-Yeah, Mr Harry Breitel, please.
MAN (ON PHONE):
This is Mr Breitel.
-Hi, this is Marilyn Stewart.
A police officer just came to
my home, a Lieutenant Torello.
He tried to scare me.
You said this sort of
thing was not gonna happen.
-How you doing, Nate?
Barto, bourbon
and water, please.
Mike, guess what?
Just got a break with Holman.
Mike, you listening to me?
Holman?
Luca?
You remember them?
Our two buddies?
-I heard you Danny, and I don't
wanna deal with that right
now, OK?
-And what the hell's
more important?
-This file is more important!
-Your pal Kehoe.
-Yeah, that's right.
You got a problem with that?
My friend is more important.
-Man enough to admit it.
-You wanna see what
kind of a man I am?
-Sit down, will you?
Cool it!
I'm sorry.
But I'm telling you,
Mike, maybe it's
too late to save your friend.
Whatever he was before, Kehoe's
become a slick businessman who
cares about nothing
but the almighty buck.
-He's my friend, Danny.
We've been friends since
longer than I can remember.
That means something to me!
You got a problem?
-I want Ray Luca.
-So do I. And we'll work
on Luca and Kehoe together,
according to the
priorities I set.
WOMAN (ON PHONE):
Mr. Breitel, there's
a Lieutenant Torello
here to see you.
-Send him in.
Put him on the list.
Lieutenant Torello.
-Mr. Breitel.
-What can I do for you?
-Sergeant Danny Krycheck.
-Sergeant.
-You're investigating
the Municipal
Employees Pension
Fund and its links?
-I don't know what
you're talking about.
-I'm trying to be direct
here, Mr. Breitel.
I might be of some help.
-That's very considerate
of you, Lieutenant.
However, this office has a
number of ongoing cases, none
of which I think you
can help me with.
-This pension board loan.
-Maybe you want Treasury?
-Well, I can see we're gonna
get nowhere fast, right?
-Lieutenant, if you have
any specific allegations,
information, any leads
concerning this office,
I'd be happy to take
it under advisement.
-Are we in the wrong office?
-Apparently.
-Look, Breitel, you can
play games if you want to,
but you know that I know.
And if I know, Ray Luca knows.
Let's go.
-Kehoe's friend.
He wants to see
how much we know.
Thank you, Pam.
-Hey.
-I'm afraid I got bad news.
You're about to be indicted.
-What?
How?
What did I do?
How do you know this?
-Contacts within the
Justice Department.
You shouldn't have been taking
money out of that company.
-What do they know?
-They obviously have
very good evidence.
They know about the last
$200 thou you took out.
-Am I gonna get subpoenaed?
-I doubt it.
They'll just indict.
Then we'll surrender you
and make bond right away.
-Who else gets indicted?
-Luca.
Other unnamed defendants.
Don't worry, Phil.
We'll arrange for everyone
to be released on bond.
-Make sure I'm released.
I don't care about
the other guys.
Get over here.
-Hey, Dee, what's up?
-Listen, Phil, uh,
why don't I leave,
and you and Ray can talk
things over privately.
-No, stay.
I told you that that idea was
gonna get us all jammed up.
-What are you talking about?
-We are gonna be indicted by
the G is what I'm talking about.
-As it stands, I can
drag this out two,
maybe two and a half years.
Then there'll be a trial.
If convicted, a short sentence.
-What?
Are you telling
me the bottom line
on all this is I'm gonna
spend a year in the joint?
-A nice joint.
-There ain't no nice joint.
-They're very confident in
their witness's testimony.
-It's that punk we
put on the board.
-It's not Kehoe.
-Who then?
-If you gentlemen
will excuse me.
-Yeah, yeah, thank
you very much.
Get outta here!
I knew I shoulda never
trusted your no brain schemes.
You belong back on
the street, doing
what's natural-- stealing!
-Calm down!
-What for should I calm down?
It's a company we bought.
They got records.
They got books.
Somebody double-crossed us.
It was that-- it was
that-- that punk insurance
man with-- with
all the education.
Why did I-- why did I let you
talk me into buying this thing?
-Shut up, Phil!
Hey, look.
I told you not to take the
$200 G's and bankrupt us!
So don't come on to
me, you understand?
Just relax!
I'll fix it.
I'll take care of it.
We ain't going to jail.
Pull!
RAY: Here she comes.
Don't move until she's
out of the parking lot.
Give us some room, Paulie.
[horn honk]
What have we got for dinner?
-You mean you're
eating home tonight?
-Listen, you know how bad
you wanna get out of Chicago?
-Yeah.
-Well, it's half done.
-What are you talking about?
-I'm buying you a vacation home.
-Where?
-Las Vegas.
-You mean actually
leave Chicago?
Away from all these
cops around here?
-Yeah.
Away from all these
cops around here.
-What happened?
-I got rid of all my problems.
I know what I have to do
to get us out of here.
Listen, we're free and clear.
And we're moving in
the right direction.
-I like you like this.
-You do, huh?
Let's go eat.
-Come on, Marilyn.
Answer.
No answer.
-Try her office again!
-Lieutenant Torello?
-What's going on?
-I'm subpoenaed to testify
before Breitel's grand jury.
-Hey, I got the equipment
to beat the Galman safe.
We could be in and out of
that box in 10 minutes.
-Yeah, show me what you got.
-Come on.
This is as close
as I could come.
-Where'd you get this?
-University of Chicago Hospital.
It's an artothorposcope
or something.
I dunno what you call it.
-It's an arthroscope, you idiot.
-Yeah, well, they've been
sticking this down my mother
throat for three
months, trying to see
her stomach from the inside out.
Scares the hell out of her.
-Yeah?
-So I stole it out of there.
-Open your mouth, Paulie.
-What do you see, Boss?
-Flies.
-Come on!
Will this do the trick?
-Yeah, this and a
quarter inch carbide
bit and an industrial drill,
and we're in business.
-When we gonna go?
-Tonight.
-I thought you told me you
don't do scores no more, Boss?
-Well, I changed
from my mind, Paulie.
I wanna keep a hand in things.
And besides, I'm in a good mood.
-We're through.
-No kidding.
Hurry up.
Turn that light on.
OK.
Tell me when it's clear.
OK, you ready?
All right, turn.
Stop.
The other way.
-Is this the best or what?
-Slow.
Slow.
This is greatest
thing since bullets.
Keep going.
Slow.
Stop.
That's it.
That's it.
Unbelievable.
-We got it?
-Yeah.
Open it up.
-Look at this.
-Well, let's get packing.
-I've advised the
lieutenant not to testify
before your grand jury
without a full understanding
of what you're driving at.
-I'm not required or inclined
to share that with you.
-Lieutenant's not required or
inclined to give testimony.
-Wouldn't look good
for the lieutenant
to, uh, take the
Fifth Amendment.
Isn't it a conflict for a public
defender to represent someone
who has the ability
to hire an attorney?
-Please, please, counselor.
Cancel the fear tactics.
There's a single issue
on the table here.
Are you going to address it?
-What do you want from me?
-A close friend of yours
is under investigation.
We have reason to believe
that you could shed some light
on his involvement
with Ray Luca.
-What?
Are you on junk or something?
-Mike.
What else?
That's all.
-That's all?
Come on, Breitel.
If that was all, you'd
ask him here and now
before skulking after him with,
uh, tails, issuing subpoenas.
-Lieutenant Torello,
where is Marilyn Stewart?
-What?
-Well, you were seen with her
the morning she disappeared.
-She's dead.
-What?
-She's dead!
She was your witness, huh?
Yeah, I saw her, but I
didn't see any of your guys
around trying to protect her!
-We've done everything
we can to find her!
-I'm in the same business
that you're supposed to be in.
It doesn't take a genius to
figure out that somebody walked
off with her, and
to know who did it!
As far as I'm concerned,
you're responsible for Marilyn
Stewart.
Stay away from me, Breitel.
Stay away.
Because if I testified before
your grand jury and let
them know how you handled
this case, they'll indict you.
-How do you know she's dead?
-Because I do this
job for a living,
and I know how to work the
streets, and you don't.
Here, you know where
you can stick this?
-Thanks for meeting me.
I have to talk to you.
-So talk.
-There's a federal
investigation underway.
I've gotta get outta town.
-Pressure too much?
Worry about the
pension fund, coming up
with the money we need.
That's all you worry about.
You got your loan payment.
That should make
your board happy.
-You don't understand.
This investigation--
-They got no case!
Now will you stop slobbering
all over yourself?
-Do you know where Marilyn is?
-I don't care where Marilyn is.
You fronted her.
She's your responsibility.
-I can't find her.
I'm afraid something happened.
What did you do to her, Ray?
-Take care of business, Ted.
-I dunno about you, but I
just can't stand going out
with somebody and not-- not
being allowed to, you know,
kiss them.
I just-- kissing
is very important.
So I mean, just once
would be really nice.
Once?
Please?
-No.
-I'm sorry.
-What's that?
-My god.
-Keep them outta here.
-Right, sir.
-Anyway of telling
where they dumped her?
-Ah, it could be
anywhere between here
and the Loop with that current.
-Walter get back yet?
-No, not yet.
-I'll have the lab boys
comb the whole area.
-Where's Krycheck?
-He's putting together
some information on Holman
with the paperwork
from Lakeville.
We may have something
solid, Mike.
-You gotta start someplace.
Joey, get in the
boat, go upriver,
and see if you
can spot anything.
-What'd the coroner say?
-There was a struggle.
Three times on the head.
Pop, pop, pop.
-What else?
-He'll have something more
for us after the post.
In the meantime, he
says we can move her.
-Well, I'm gonna have her
identified right here.
-In that condition?
-Yeah, in that condition.
-All right.
-See this guy pulling
up in this car?
-Yeah.
-He's gonna show you
some credentials.
They are not good
at this crime scene.
You got it?
-Yes, sir.
-Not now, fellas.
Later.
I'm sorry, sir.
I can't allow you
beyond the barricade.
-Are you blind?
It's a witness for
a federal case.
-I got my orders.
-Come on now.
-You try that, and
I'll arrest you.
-I want in, Torello.
All right, that's it.
I'm taking you off the case.
I'm asserting
federal jurisdiction.
-Yeah, you go ahead.
You do that.
-I'll have the
FBI come out here,
and haul you off in
handcuffs, buddy.
-If you were so concerned,
she would still be alive!
-You know, that's an interesting
comment coming from you.
I should think maybe you'd like
to, uh, clean up your own act.
-What's that supposed to mean?
-You, Kehoe-- I'm gonna
get to the bottom of this.
I'll see you do time
in a federal facility,
you wanna plan an
end run game with me.
-You listen to me,
you pompous bastard.
This is the city of Chicago,
politically the most potent
city in America, and
you are a third rate
political opportunist
put here temporarily
to see if you can cut it.
You wanna get in a
dogfight with me?
I'll eat you alive.
You are trying to
climb the ladder.
I am the ladder.
-You're coming this close
to running my career.
You know, things ain't bad
enough from this investigation,
You've got to yank me out of
an important board meeting
like you're the prince
of Division Street.
What's the matter with you?
-Do you wanna
identify her for us?
-Nate, Nate.
Do you want a beer?
-Yeah.
-Two beers.
Did you get things cleared
up at the crime scene?
-Yeah, we secured it
about an hour ago.
I'll go back tomorrow
for another look around.
-Find anything?
-Nothing.
She was killed someplace
else and dumped.
-How about the autopsy?
Brodsky will have
something for us tomorrow.
-Kehoe been around?
-I ain't seen him.
-Well, he turned his guts out.
-It's not your doing, Mike.
-He's gonna need
me one day, Nate.
-What's so important that
you had to come here?
-What did you do
to Marilyn Stewart?
-How'd you get in here?
What do you want?
-Talk.
-What?
Are you just gonna take
over my house too now?
-If necessary.
-I came to talk about business.
-I don't wanna talk
about business with you.
I shoulda listened.
Mike told me what to do.
Maybe Marilyn would
still be alive, huh?
Huh?
Well, now I know
what I should do.
Let's go to the FBI
or the MCU and expose
you for what you really are.
-Earlier tonight, you walk
in my club and you hit me.
People don't hit
me and walk away.
I kept my head and
you got a pass.
Now you've got to keep yours.
-Well, I ain't
gonna keep my head.
-Don't tell me about you going
to the FBI or anybody else.
You understand me?
-What are you gonna do about it?
[scream]
[theme music]
on "Crime Story."
JULIE: I'll be
ready in a second.
-Can I leave?
-Shut up!
-Sit down.
-What the hell is he doing here?
JULIE: I thought you-- you
were supposed to be in Toledo.
-What the hell is going on?
Where do you think you're going?
-Out.
It's over, Michael.
-What do you wanna talk about?
Julie?
-MICHAEL: No.
-No?
No?
You know what?
I do.
Kills me.
I see two people, who I
care about more than all
the other jerks in this
city, who love each other,
are decent human
beings, and still
manage to miss each other.
Ah.
Any chance of you guys
pulling it together?
-I don't think so.
You know, most guys say they
wanna know when their wives are
cheating on them, that
they can deal with it.
-Michael, please.
-And what was he
doing in my house?
-Would you keep your voice down?
-The question
deserves an answer.
-Because he gives me
what you won't-- can't.
I dunno.
Attention and affection?
I need more in my life.
-So what you do, Julie, huh?
You fall for the first
guy that comes around
that's got a big
smile on his face
and knows how to say
please and thank you?
-At least he's there.
-I'm your husband!
What do we do?
Divorce?
Look me right in
my eyes and tell me
that you want me
out of your life.
-When can you pick
up your clothes?
JULIE (VOICEOVER): I
dunno what I think anymore
about having children, Michael.
What's happening to us?
They haven't invented the
hard time we can't handle.
-I really do love her, but
I really screwed it up.
-No, no, no.
No, it takes two people
to make a marriage,
and two to break a marriage.
Listen.
I'm opening my own agency.
All right?
I'm handling pension
funds and everything.
I'll let you write
your own ticket.
Huh?
-I really don't
feel like talking
about pension funds, Ted.
-I'm Mr. Novak's personal
assistant, Inger Thorsson.
Maybe I can be of some help.
-How long have you been
working for the Novaks?
-Three years.
-Anybody in Novak's company
ask about his house?
Security systems?
Habits?
Stuff like that?
-No.
What are you looking for?
-I dunno.
But, uh, what kind
of name is "Inger?"
-Swedish.
-I thought most
Swedes were blondes.
-That's Norwegians.
-What's your relationship
with Mr. Novak?
-Professional or personal?
-Uh, Manny's
thinking of expanding
our business holdings in Vegas.
He's talking hotel casinos.
-Well, he owned the first one.
He practically started
the whole place.
What's he need more for?
-Expansion, Phil.
He thinks this new
707 jet airplane's
gonna make things
boom bigger than ever.
He's taking another one on the
strip, two, three downtown.
All you guys gotta do is make
sure the financing gets there.
-You're talking
about a lot of money.
You're talking about
millions, maybe 20 or 30.
-The money's there, Phil.
You're talking about
the biggest pension plan
in America-- the
Midwest Employees Union.
And all we gotta do is be
able to take one of our boys,
put him on the board of trustees
to get the majority, and boom.
We push it right through.
-There's a problem?
-Yeah.
-So what's the problem?
-This guy Steadman,
Hugo Steadman.
-Who are you?
Who do you work for?
-Let's look at this
way, Mr. Steadman.
There's an angel perched
on your shoulder.
We're looking after you.
That's all.
-Look, I was part of
building this union.
I stood on picket lines.
I froze.
I fought scabs and
dozens of punks like you.
This union works
for its membership.
It's my union.
You got something
to take up with it?
You pay your dues.
You do the job.
And it's not for
sale to no lowlifes.
And I don't need nobody
looking after me.
-The pension plan board is
looking for a new replacement.
-Years ago, I knew this
guy that helped build
that union during
the Depression.
His son is a successful and
very ambitious businessman.
He'll make a good trustee.
We put him on, he'll be
indebted and grateful.
Then we'll show him how
to repay his indebtedness.
His name is Ted Kehoe.
NARRATOR: This week
on "Crime Story."
-I can't believe this.
What are we doing in this place?
-We're making money.
-You're making me nervous!
This whole thing smacks
of being legitimate.
Where'd you get this idea?
-Making our money legit?
We need that, Phil.
-This is where you
and I part ways!
Right here!
Why can't we just use a safe?
-Our money's working for us.
Laundering layoff money through
a place like this is perfect.
You wanna spend big, you let
this place pick up the tab.
-The old way was better.
-Come on.
The old way?
The old way, you leave
yourself wide open.
Hey, Phil, this is
good management.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What's this over here?
-Hey, hey!
-Hey, hey, what?
I own this place!
-You should know to keep
your hands off the bottles.
-Listen to this.
I gotta take attitude here!
-Forget it, forget it.
Here comes Kehoe
and Marilyn Stewart.
He's the guy Manny plugged
into the pension fund.
He got us the bread
to get us in here.
She's the front
for the operation.
Now nice, huh?
This is Ted Kehoe, Phil Bartoli.
-Bartoli, pleasure.
-Hello.
-I'd like you to meet my
associate, Marilyn Stewart.
-How do you do?
-Hi.
-Marilyn's been
keeping a close eye
on things for you, gentlemen.
-Yeah, you're
operating in a profit
going into your second quarter.
This is very unusual,
considering the outlay.
-That's the way I'm
used to operating.
And I don't even
like this place.
Why don't we, uh,
just bleed this place
and move on to something else?
What's wrong with a good
old-fashioned whorehouse?
-I don't understand.
-You don't have to understand.
I'm the boss.
What's in the bank?
-Uh, $200,000.
-You go to the bank,
and you get that.
You bring that to me.
MARILYN: Why?
-A consulting fee.
Hahah.
-That'll bankrupt the whole--
-That's the point, my dear.
That's the point.
-Listen, hey, we can't--
-Just do it, Ted.
All right?
We'll straighten it out later.
-$200,000 will
kill this company.
-I'll take care of
covering the money.
Don't worry.
-You want me to do this?
-Marilyn, it's not a
big deal, all right?
Let's not create
any problems here.
Let's just do it.
-It's illegal.
Ted, who were those people?
They gave me the creeps.
-He needs to prove
he's the boss.
-How can you expect
me to be involved
with something like this?
-It's easy.
You have to trust me.
I know what I'm talking about.
It's for us as much as for them.
-If I give them that $200,000,
we'll default on a loan
that your pension fund made for
the purchase of this company.
-What?
Are you concerned I'm gonna
be in trouble with the board?
-Of course, you will!
-My friends are gonna
take care of us.
[music del shannon, "runaway"]
-What's so funny?
-Oh, nothing really.
It's just that I
haven't made love
to anybody but my
wife in seven years.
I feel naked.
-I'm getting married
in eight weeks.
-I'm getting divorced
in about eight minutes.
-One has nothing to
do with the other.
-Then what are we doing here?
-Maybe we're not here.
You're not you.
I'm not me.
-Somebody else here
having all this fun?
-We're together for the moment.
For right now.
Can't you see that?
-My life is such a mess.
I can't see anything.
But it doesn't seem magical
to me that all of this
is just a dream or a fantasy.
But then again, there isn't
much logic in my life anyway.
-What's that mean?
-That I wanna be here with you.
I don't give a damn
about anything else.
-Grrr!
A little jumpy, aren't we?
-Ray, we gotta talk.
-Yeah, I know.
We're gonna expand
into another casino.
So we'll be submitting
for another loan.
-Another loan?
-Mhm.
-You promised me that it
would cover the $200 grand
you already paid to Bartoli.
But you haven't, and
that loan is in default.
If it's not cleared by the
beginning of the next quarter,
you could be in big trouble.
-Yeah, I'll take care of it.
-Good.
You know, Marilyn
is beside herself.
She's worried she might
be criminally liable.
-I said, I'll take care of it!
That's all you need from me.
Now, I wanna move
on the new loan.
-Yeah, whatever you say, Ray.
I'll, uh, I'll work it
through the board of trustees.
You know, uh, Marilyn does not--
-Look!
Marilyn is your problem.
You make her understand, or
I'll explain the facts of life
to her myself.
-Mr. Breitel, I think my
fiance and I are in trouble,
and we need help.
He doesn't even know I'm here.
-Well, that's good.
Did you get anything else?
Yeah, right, right.
Hold on a minute.
Nate, Nate!
Uh-huh.
We caught a break, Danny.
Let's not ruin it.
Goodbye.
-I guess that means you've
got a lead on Holman.
Who's Ted Kehoe?
-Why?
All right.
We got a lead on Holman.
If it turns into something,
I'll let you know.
What about Kehoe?
-Some guys from Treasury have
uncovered what they think
is a money laundering
operation for the outfit.
It's a bottling company.
Kehoe is on the board.
He's also on the board of the
union that lent the company
startup money, and
lent $10 million
to a company owned
by Manny Weisbord
for the purchase of a casino.
The same company owns
the bottling company.
Treasury brought
it to the Bureau.
You're one of the people
they photographed Kehoe with.
-Who else?
-Who is he, Mike?
-He's my best friend.
We grew up together.
Went through Korea together.
-Some people at my
office love thinking
you're somehow involved in this?
-Mullen, for instance?
-Yeah, he isn't alone.
Some guys like the idea
of catching a dirty cop.
And seeing you with Kehoe, who
is in it up to his tie bar,
well, it's like dangling a bone
in front of a drooling dog.
-Who else was he
photographed with?
-Ray Luca.
-Remember we used to play
American Legion ball here?
We wanted to see our numbers
up there on the scoreboard?
-What's this about,
Michael, huh?
What's the matter with you?
-It's about the pension
fund, the factory,
your deal with Manny
Weisbord, Ray Luca.
-Hey, what the hell?
What?
Are you gonna push
me around too?
Now, what the hell's
the matter with you?
-I wanna know what's going on.
-What?
Have you lost your mind?
It's business-- my business.
-You know what you're
getting into with Luca?
What are you?
An outfit guy all of a sudden?
-Get outta here.
-Business?
What business could you
have with Luca and Weisbord?
-Weisbord is business.
That's all it is, Michael.
Don't know what
you're so upset about.
-Well, I'll make it
very clear for you.
He's an outfit boss.
Do you understand that?
-He's a legitimate businessman
when I deal with him,
all right?
The pension fund,
the factory-- it's
all legitimate and a
prudent investment.
So's the loan for the casino.
-What casino?
-Look, Michael, I accept I don't
know much about police work,
all right?
Now, you should accept you
don't know much about business!
-What does that mean?
-Business is conducted on a
deal by deal basis, all right?
If the deal's right, you do it!
Sometimes, it means you work
with guys involved in things
outside the deal that
aren't on the up and up.
I can't make every
deal I'm involved in
based on the other
guy's history.
Now, what I go on
is the one piece
of business being
straight and profitable.
-You wanna know what
I do know, Teddie?
That you don't make one
deal with Weisbord or Luca,
that once you're in,
you're in for the duration.
Which means the contract
expires when you do.
-Yeah, thanks.
-I need a favor, Pat,
a personal favor.
-Uh-huh.
-I need to look at the file.
-Mike.
-I need it.
-I can't do that.
-Look, you know how hard
I've worked on Luca.
Now, it turns out that my best
friend is tied up with him.
I gotta know how thick they are.
-I don't know if I can do it.
-Will you try?
-Kehoe's involved
with some big fish.
-And he's gonna
get swallowed up.
I want the same guys too,
and I wanna keep Ted safe.
If it's at all possible.
I might even get him to
work for you directly.
-On that, I'll let
you look at the file.
But Mike, if there's
the slightest hint
this is gonna cost
us-- just don't!
Don't.
-Sir, you-- sir!
-Get out.
-What is this, Ted?
-Get out.
Get out.
Get out!
-Uh, Bob, Bob!
What are you-- are you nuts?
That was smart.
That guy was the
president of one
of the largest
banks in the state.
-Good.
Remember how it was nagging me
about that little Korean guy
who kept getting his house
knocked down in Korea,
and then-- then he'd
rebuild it again?
And I kept asking myself why?
Why did he do it, huh?
You remember?
-What's the matter
with you, Mike?
-I got the answer, Teddie.
He did it, Teddie,
because he was a dummy.
And so are you.
You're a dummy,
and you're a liar.
You lie to me?
The FBI has you linked
to Bartoli and Luca.
They got you tied
into laundering money
for the-- for the outfit!
You hear me?
You lie to me?
I am the only guy on the
face of this Earth who
might-- might be
able to help you.
-Mike, now wait a minute here.
You--
-No, no, no, no, no.
-Don't understand.
I'm not--
-No, no, no, Teddie.
No, no, no, no.
You save the silky come
on for Marilyn Stewart.
They're watching her too.
You think about it.
You want my help,
you call me, huh?
This is a great office, Teddie.
Really pretty.
Really nice.
But so what, huh?
-M--Mike.
Mike?
Mike!
-Excuse, Marilyn Stewart?
-Yes, can I help you?
-My name is Lieutenant
Michael Torello.
I'm a friend of Ted Kehoe's.
-Oh yes.
He speaks of you.
-We have to talk.
-OK.
Uh, David, Julie,
stay in the yard!
-I came here because Ted is
in trouble, and so are you.
I don't wanna see either
one of you going to prison.
-What are you saying?
-Have you talked to the FBI
or to the federal attorney's
office?
-And why should I do that?
-Because you don't like
laundering mob money,
and because Ted set
you up for all this?
-Ted wouldn't do that, and I
don't know anything about mob
money, or federal
investigations, or anything.
-What you and Ted do
with your personal lives
is not my concern.
But I do care about
what happens to him.
-I appreciate your candor.
-You don't trust me, do you?
-It's not that.
-Then what is it?
Look, Miss Stewart,
Marilyn, I don't know you.
I don't know where
you came from.
But I do know that you and Ted
are involved up to your necks
with dangerous people
who will milk you
for everything that it's worth.
Very dangerous people.
-Lieutenant, Ted and
I are in a business.
We're insurance people
with other interests.
I think you're exaggerating.
-Here's my card.
When the heat gets too
unbearable, call me.
WOMAN (ON PHONE): United
States attorney's office?
-Yeah, Mr Harry Breitel, please.
MAN (ON PHONE):
This is Mr Breitel.
-Hi, this is Marilyn Stewart.
A police officer just came to
my home, a Lieutenant Torello.
He tried to scare me.
You said this sort of
thing was not gonna happen.
-How you doing, Nate?
Barto, bourbon
and water, please.
Mike, guess what?
Just got a break with Holman.
Mike, you listening to me?
Holman?
Luca?
You remember them?
Our two buddies?
-I heard you Danny, and I don't
wanna deal with that right
now, OK?
-And what the hell's
more important?
-This file is more important!
-Your pal Kehoe.
-Yeah, that's right.
You got a problem with that?
My friend is more important.
-Man enough to admit it.
-You wanna see what
kind of a man I am?
-Sit down, will you?
Cool it!
I'm sorry.
But I'm telling you,
Mike, maybe it's
too late to save your friend.
Whatever he was before, Kehoe's
become a slick businessman who
cares about nothing
but the almighty buck.
-He's my friend, Danny.
We've been friends since
longer than I can remember.
That means something to me!
You got a problem?
-I want Ray Luca.
-So do I. And we'll work
on Luca and Kehoe together,
according to the
priorities I set.
WOMAN (ON PHONE):
Mr. Breitel, there's
a Lieutenant Torello
here to see you.
-Send him in.
Put him on the list.
Lieutenant Torello.
-Mr. Breitel.
-What can I do for you?
-Sergeant Danny Krycheck.
-Sergeant.
-You're investigating
the Municipal
Employees Pension
Fund and its links?
-I don't know what
you're talking about.
-I'm trying to be direct
here, Mr. Breitel.
I might be of some help.
-That's very considerate
of you, Lieutenant.
However, this office has a
number of ongoing cases, none
of which I think you
can help me with.
-This pension board loan.
-Maybe you want Treasury?
-Well, I can see we're gonna
get nowhere fast, right?
-Lieutenant, if you have
any specific allegations,
information, any leads
concerning this office,
I'd be happy to take
it under advisement.
-Are we in the wrong office?
-Apparently.
-Look, Breitel, you can
play games if you want to,
but you know that I know.
And if I know, Ray Luca knows.
Let's go.
-Kehoe's friend.
He wants to see
how much we know.
Thank you, Pam.
-Hey.
-I'm afraid I got bad news.
You're about to be indicted.
-What?
How?
What did I do?
How do you know this?
-Contacts within the
Justice Department.
You shouldn't have been taking
money out of that company.
-What do they know?
-They obviously have
very good evidence.
They know about the last
$200 thou you took out.
-Am I gonna get subpoenaed?
-I doubt it.
They'll just indict.
Then we'll surrender you
and make bond right away.
-Who else gets indicted?
-Luca.
Other unnamed defendants.
Don't worry, Phil.
We'll arrange for everyone
to be released on bond.
-Make sure I'm released.
I don't care about
the other guys.
Get over here.
-Hey, Dee, what's up?
-Listen, Phil, uh,
why don't I leave,
and you and Ray can talk
things over privately.
-No, stay.
I told you that that idea was
gonna get us all jammed up.
-What are you talking about?
-We are gonna be indicted by
the G is what I'm talking about.
-As it stands, I can
drag this out two,
maybe two and a half years.
Then there'll be a trial.
If convicted, a short sentence.
-What?
Are you telling
me the bottom line
on all this is I'm gonna
spend a year in the joint?
-A nice joint.
-There ain't no nice joint.
-They're very confident in
their witness's testimony.
-It's that punk we
put on the board.
-It's not Kehoe.
-Who then?
-If you gentlemen
will excuse me.
-Yeah, yeah, thank
you very much.
Get outta here!
I knew I shoulda never
trusted your no brain schemes.
You belong back on
the street, doing
what's natural-- stealing!
-Calm down!
-What for should I calm down?
It's a company we bought.
They got records.
They got books.
Somebody double-crossed us.
It was that-- it was
that-- that punk insurance
man with-- with
all the education.
Why did I-- why did I let you
talk me into buying this thing?
-Shut up, Phil!
Hey, look.
I told you not to take the
$200 G's and bankrupt us!
So don't come on to
me, you understand?
Just relax!
I'll fix it.
I'll take care of it.
We ain't going to jail.
Pull!
RAY: Here she comes.
Don't move until she's
out of the parking lot.
Give us some room, Paulie.
[horn honk]
What have we got for dinner?
-You mean you're
eating home tonight?
-Listen, you know how bad
you wanna get out of Chicago?
-Yeah.
-Well, it's half done.
-What are you talking about?
-I'm buying you a vacation home.
-Where?
-Las Vegas.
-You mean actually
leave Chicago?
Away from all these
cops around here?
-Yeah.
Away from all these
cops around here.
-What happened?
-I got rid of all my problems.
I know what I have to do
to get us out of here.
Listen, we're free and clear.
And we're moving in
the right direction.
-I like you like this.
-You do, huh?
Let's go eat.
-Come on, Marilyn.
Answer.
No answer.
-Try her office again!
-Lieutenant Torello?
-What's going on?
-I'm subpoenaed to testify
before Breitel's grand jury.
-Hey, I got the equipment
to beat the Galman safe.
We could be in and out of
that box in 10 minutes.
-Yeah, show me what you got.
-Come on.
This is as close
as I could come.
-Where'd you get this?
-University of Chicago Hospital.
It's an artothorposcope
or something.
I dunno what you call it.
-It's an arthroscope, you idiot.
-Yeah, well, they've been
sticking this down my mother
throat for three
months, trying to see
her stomach from the inside out.
Scares the hell out of her.
-Yeah?
-So I stole it out of there.
-Open your mouth, Paulie.
-What do you see, Boss?
-Flies.
-Come on!
Will this do the trick?
-Yeah, this and a
quarter inch carbide
bit and an industrial drill,
and we're in business.
-When we gonna go?
-Tonight.
-I thought you told me you
don't do scores no more, Boss?
-Well, I changed
from my mind, Paulie.
I wanna keep a hand in things.
And besides, I'm in a good mood.
-We're through.
-No kidding.
Hurry up.
Turn that light on.
OK.
Tell me when it's clear.
OK, you ready?
All right, turn.
Stop.
The other way.
-Is this the best or what?
-Slow.
Slow.
This is greatest
thing since bullets.
Keep going.
Slow.
Stop.
That's it.
That's it.
Unbelievable.
-We got it?
-Yeah.
Open it up.
-Look at this.
-Well, let's get packing.
-I've advised the
lieutenant not to testify
before your grand jury
without a full understanding
of what you're driving at.
-I'm not required or inclined
to share that with you.
-Lieutenant's not required or
inclined to give testimony.
-Wouldn't look good
for the lieutenant
to, uh, take the
Fifth Amendment.
Isn't it a conflict for a public
defender to represent someone
who has the ability
to hire an attorney?
-Please, please, counselor.
Cancel the fear tactics.
There's a single issue
on the table here.
Are you going to address it?
-What do you want from me?
-A close friend of yours
is under investigation.
We have reason to believe
that you could shed some light
on his involvement
with Ray Luca.
-What?
Are you on junk or something?
-Mike.
What else?
That's all.
-That's all?
Come on, Breitel.
If that was all, you'd
ask him here and now
before skulking after him with,
uh, tails, issuing subpoenas.
-Lieutenant Torello,
where is Marilyn Stewart?
-What?
-Well, you were seen with her
the morning she disappeared.
-She's dead.
-What?
-She's dead!
She was your witness, huh?
Yeah, I saw her, but I
didn't see any of your guys
around trying to protect her!
-We've done everything
we can to find her!
-I'm in the same business
that you're supposed to be in.
It doesn't take a genius to
figure out that somebody walked
off with her, and
to know who did it!
As far as I'm concerned,
you're responsible for Marilyn
Stewart.
Stay away from me, Breitel.
Stay away.
Because if I testified before
your grand jury and let
them know how you handled
this case, they'll indict you.
-How do you know she's dead?
-Because I do this
job for a living,
and I know how to work the
streets, and you don't.
Here, you know where
you can stick this?
-Thanks for meeting me.
I have to talk to you.
-So talk.
-There's a federal
investigation underway.
I've gotta get outta town.
-Pressure too much?
Worry about the
pension fund, coming up
with the money we need.
That's all you worry about.
You got your loan payment.
That should make
your board happy.
-You don't understand.
This investigation--
-They got no case!
Now will you stop slobbering
all over yourself?
-Do you know where Marilyn is?
-I don't care where Marilyn is.
You fronted her.
She's your responsibility.
-I can't find her.
I'm afraid something happened.
What did you do to her, Ray?
-Take care of business, Ted.
-I dunno about you, but I
just can't stand going out
with somebody and not-- not
being allowed to, you know,
kiss them.
I just-- kissing
is very important.
So I mean, just once
would be really nice.
Once?
Please?
-No.
-I'm sorry.
-What's that?
-My god.
-Keep them outta here.
-Right, sir.
-Anyway of telling
where they dumped her?
-Ah, it could be
anywhere between here
and the Loop with that current.
-Walter get back yet?
-No, not yet.
-I'll have the lab boys
comb the whole area.
-Where's Krycheck?
-He's putting together
some information on Holman
with the paperwork
from Lakeville.
We may have something
solid, Mike.
-You gotta start someplace.
Joey, get in the
boat, go upriver,
and see if you
can spot anything.
-What'd the coroner say?
-There was a struggle.
Three times on the head.
Pop, pop, pop.
-What else?
-He'll have something more
for us after the post.
In the meantime, he
says we can move her.
-Well, I'm gonna have her
identified right here.
-In that condition?
-Yeah, in that condition.
-All right.
-See this guy pulling
up in this car?
-Yeah.
-He's gonna show you
some credentials.
They are not good
at this crime scene.
You got it?
-Yes, sir.
-Not now, fellas.
Later.
I'm sorry, sir.
I can't allow you
beyond the barricade.
-Are you blind?
It's a witness for
a federal case.
-I got my orders.
-Come on now.
-You try that, and
I'll arrest you.
-I want in, Torello.
All right, that's it.
I'm taking you off the case.
I'm asserting
federal jurisdiction.
-Yeah, you go ahead.
You do that.
-I'll have the
FBI come out here,
and haul you off in
handcuffs, buddy.
-If you were so concerned,
she would still be alive!
-You know, that's an interesting
comment coming from you.
I should think maybe you'd like
to, uh, clean up your own act.
-What's that supposed to mean?
-You, Kehoe-- I'm gonna
get to the bottom of this.
I'll see you do time
in a federal facility,
you wanna plan an
end run game with me.
-You listen to me,
you pompous bastard.
This is the city of Chicago,
politically the most potent
city in America, and
you are a third rate
political opportunist
put here temporarily
to see if you can cut it.
You wanna get in a
dogfight with me?
I'll eat you alive.
You are trying to
climb the ladder.
I am the ladder.
-You're coming this close
to running my career.
You know, things ain't bad
enough from this investigation,
You've got to yank me out of
an important board meeting
like you're the prince
of Division Street.
What's the matter with you?
-Do you wanna
identify her for us?
-Nate, Nate.
Do you want a beer?
-Yeah.
-Two beers.
Did you get things cleared
up at the crime scene?
-Yeah, we secured it
about an hour ago.
I'll go back tomorrow
for another look around.
-Find anything?
-Nothing.
She was killed someplace
else and dumped.
-How about the autopsy?
Brodsky will have
something for us tomorrow.
-Kehoe been around?
-I ain't seen him.
-Well, he turned his guts out.
-It's not your doing, Mike.
-He's gonna need
me one day, Nate.
-What's so important that
you had to come here?
-What did you do
to Marilyn Stewart?
-How'd you get in here?
What do you want?
-Talk.
-What?
Are you just gonna take
over my house too now?
-If necessary.
-I came to talk about business.
-I don't wanna talk
about business with you.
I shoulda listened.
Mike told me what to do.
Maybe Marilyn would
still be alive, huh?
Huh?
Well, now I know
what I should do.
Let's go to the FBI
or the MCU and expose
you for what you really are.
-Earlier tonight, you walk
in my club and you hit me.
People don't hit
me and walk away.
I kept my head and
you got a pass.
Now you've got to keep yours.
-Well, I ain't
gonna keep my head.
-Don't tell me about you going
to the FBI or anybody else.
You understand me?
-What are you gonna do about it?
[scream]
