Hill Street Blues (1981–1987): Season 4, Episode 20 - Hair Apparent - full transcript
DROP IT!
COME ON!
[MAN]
PREVIOUSLY,
ON HILL STREET BLUES...
MAN CAME OUT WITH
A PIECE, HARRY.
WE HUNTED THE GUY.
HEY, LIEUTENANT,
UH, IS IT TRUE THAT
HORSES CAN'T SEE ANYTHING
DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THEM?
DO YOU THINK THAT YOU,
UM, WOULD MARRY ME?
I THOUGHT YOU WERE
GONNA GIVE ME THE BOOT,
SURE AS ANYTHING.
DO YOU,
JESUS EMILIO MARTINEZ,
TAKE THIS WOMAN TO BE
YOUR LAWFUL WEDDED WIFE?
YEAH, I DO.
I NEED US BACK
TOGETHER SO MUCH.
WE HAVE BEEN
SEPARATE.
OKAY. LET ME GET THROUGH
THE REST OF THIS, PLEASE.
WHAT DO YOU SAY, HUH?
ITEM 11.
MORE GANG VIOLENCE.
NIGHT SHIFT REPORTS.
ANOTHER DRIVE-BY SHOOTING.
3:00 AM. THIS TIME
ON GYPSY BOY'S TURF.
NO CASUALTIES.
CAPTAIN SAYS THAT YOU
CAN EXPECT REPRISALS.
IT'S GONNA BE THIS BAD
AND WORSE UNTIL THEY
SIGN SOME
OF THOSE TREATIES.
ALSO, SAME ITEM.
WE GOT A GANG SUMMIT.
RIGHT HERE.
ROLL CALL
NINE HUNDRED HOURS
THIS MORNING.
PURPOSE IS TO LOWER TEMPERATURES
AND I GUESS, TO LET THEM
AIR SOME OF THEIR GRIPES.
NOW, SOME OF THOSE GRIPES
ARE GONNA BE AIMED RIGHT
AT THIS MARCUS PEABODY.
THAT'S THE GUY
THAT MAYOR CLEVELAND
HAS APPOINTED THE HEAD
OF THE YOUTH CORPS
SUMMER JOBS PROGRAM.
MOST OF US CAN REMEMBER
THE HONORABLE MR. PEABODY
AS A MEMBER
OF THE BLOOD.
WHAT IS--
THE GUY PUTS ON A SUIT
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN,
HE'S A CITIZEN, RIGHT?
COFFEY, WHY DON'T YOU SAY
THAT RIGHT TO HIS FACE?
HE'S GONNA BE
AT THE GANG SUMMIT.
YOU AND RUDY WILL
BE BABYSITTING.
ALSO, GIVE ME MACLAY
AND KAYSACH ON THAT ONE.
MOVING RIGHT ALONG.
ITEM 12.
CODE NAME: STRAIGHT FLUSH.
ONCE AGAIN, WE GOT YOUR
UNSAVORY CRIMINAL ELEMENT
STRONG-ARMING
YOUR LOCAL BAR OWNERS.
THIS TIME IT'S TO
GETTIN' THEM TO INSTALL
SOME OF THE LATEST
AND THE STATE OF THE ART,
ELECTRONIC
GAMBLING DEVICES.
NOW, WHAT WE'RE
TALKIN' ABOUT HERE
IS YOUR BASIC COMPUTERIZED
VIDEO POKER GAME.
WE GOT DETECTIVE BELKER
ON THIS ONE, AND WE GOT
OFFICERS, HILL AND RENKO,
ASSIGNED UNDER COVER.
WE'RE HOPIN', IN FACT,
THAT BELKER CAN INFILTRATE
THE WHOLE ORGANIZATION.
GUYS, WORD OF CAUTION.
DON'T DRAW TO
AN INSIDE STRAIGHT.
[ALL LAUGH]
ALL RIGHT!
ITEM 13.
BUDGET CUTS.
CITY COUNCIL JUST
PUBLISHED A LIST
OF PROPOSED DELETIONS
TO THE NEW BUDGET.
AND I AM REAL SORRY TO
SAY THAT IT LOOKS LIKE
THE EQUINE UNIT
IS IN BIG TROUBLE.
[FAKE BOOING AND GROANING]
HOWEVER, LIEUTENANT HUNTER
IS GONNA BE ADDRESSING
THAT VERY SUBCOMMITTEE
THIS MORNING.
AND HE FEELS, OR HE'S
PRETTY SURE ANYWAY...
THAT AS HE SAID,
HE CAN TALK SOME
HORSE SENSE INTO
THE NAYSAYERS.
[LAUGHING AND NEIGHING]
ALMOST DONE GUYS.
JUST GOT A COUPLE MORE
ITEMS, PERSONAL NATURE.
MICK BELKER REMINDS ME
TO REMIND YOU THAT
THE CHESSBOARD ON HIS DESK
IS THE FOCUS OF AN ONGOING
SERIOUS CONTEST BETWEEN
HE AND LT. HUNTER.
SO, DON'T TOUCH
THE PIECES.
CHESS? THEY CAN'T
EVEN PLAY TIC TAC TOE.
[ALL LAUGH]
OKAY. ALSO, ANDY RENKO
WANTED ME TO ANNOUNCE
THAT HE KNOWS THAT
SOME OF HIS GROOMSMEN
HAVE NOT YET HAD
THEIR TUXEDO FITTING.
NOW, NOW, NOW.
THE GROOM DON'T WANNA,
UH, UH, LEAD ANYBODY
DOWN THE AISLE,
LIKE SCHOOL BOYS
IN NOTHIN' BUT, UM--
JOE COFFEY AND, UH,
MY BEST MAN, UH--
COME ON.
ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT,
YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
[BATES AND RENKO]
IT'S AT SAM WATERLOO'S
ACRE OF TUXEDOS
1797 WEST POLK, Y'ALL.
1797 WEST POLK.
LAST ITEM.
ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT.
IT'S BEEN
PRETTY GOOD.
THIS WARM STREAK LOOKS
LIKE IT'S GONNA LAST
FOR AT LEAST
ANOTHER WEEK.
NOW, IT'S COME
TO MY ATTENTION
THAT SOME OF YOU
SUN-LOVERS HAVE BEEN
USING THE ROOF OF
THIS VERY BUILDING
AS A KIND OF
PERSONAL SOLARIUM.
[LAUGHING]
WHAT YOU DO
WITH YOUR LUNCH
IS WHAT YOU DO.
BUT I HAVE HERE,
YOUR BASIC MEMO
FROM DIVISION.
IT SAYS THAT ONE
OF THEIR COPS
JUST WENT OVER
OUR ROOF YESTERDAY
AND SAW TWO OFFICERS,
ONE MALE AND ONE FEMALE,
SUNBATHING IN
THEIR UNDERWEAR.
[ALL CHEER]
ALL RIGHT!
GIVE ME A BREAK,
WILL YOU PLEASE?
YOU WANT ME TO GO UP THERE
AND PADLOCK THAT DOOR?
GOT IT? THAT'S IT.
LET'S ROLL.
AND LET'S BE CAREFUL
OUT THERE, HUH?
[CLAMORING]
-WHERE'S YOUR PARTNER?
-LATE.
THIRD TIME IN
A WEEK, MAN.
-WHITE GUY.
-MM-HMM.
HOW DEAD HE LOOK?
DOCTOR GAVE HIM
A COUPLE MORE WEEKS.
YO, HARRY,
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
THE WORST, MAN.
THE WORSE START
ON A DAY.
THAT METER...
NAH.
I REAR-ENDED A GUY
AND GUESS WHAT?
HE DIED.
NO INSURANCE.
MY INSURANCE IS UP.
UH-OH.
WE TALKIN' WHIPLASH?
WE TALKIN'
WHIPLASH,
TONSILS,
APPENDICITIS,
SHOOTING PAINS.
I WANNA KILL HIM.
YOU MEAN, THE GUY
YOU'RE GONNA BE WORKING
FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE?
FLOYD JOYNER'S
LOOKIN' FOR ME.
I TOLD HIM
TO COME UP HERE.
HEY, HEY.
LOOK, BOY.
ANYTIME YOU FEEL
LIKE DOING SOME
POLICE WORK,
WE GOT THREE SHELVES
OF MENDOZA FILES
TO GO THROUGH, OKAY?
[PHONE RINGING FAINTLY]
[CHATTERING]
MY GOODNESS, MICK.
YOU AMAZE ME.
YOU BRING TO THE BOARD
PREDATORY INSTINCTS
AND, UH, A KIND
OF NAIVE GUSTO
THAT IS MARVELOUS
TO BEHOLD.
OCCASIONALLY, REMINISCENT
OF THE RAW, NATIVE ENERGY
OF A YOUNG CASABLANCA.
[INHALES]
A SICILIAN DEFENSE
OPENING THESE
BROAD CORRIDORS
TO YOUR BISHOPS.
THE BOLD THRUST OF
YOUR QUEEN'S SIDE PAWNS.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY,
MICK, AS YOU HAVE HERE,
THE YOUNG CASABLANCA
OFTEN FELL VICTIM
TO HIS OWN EXCESSES.
SPEED AT THE EXPENSE
OF STRATEGY.
BRUTE,
A SHOW OF POWER,
AT THE EXPENSE
OF FINESSE.
IN SPITE OF WHICH
I MAINTAIN THAT
IF YOU WOULD
TAKE THE TIME
TO REFINE
YOUR GIFTS, MICK,
YOU HAVE ALL THE MAKINGS
OF A FIRST-RATE PLAYER.
CHECKMATE.
[SIRENS BLARING]
[DISPATCHER]
WE HAVE A 911.
ARMED ROBBERY
IN PROGRESS....
♪♪ [PIANO INSTRUMENTAL]
♪♪ [MID-TEMPO PIANO MUSIC]
HI, TODD COURTNEY
WITH THE P.D.'S OFFICE.
I'LL BE HANDLING MS., UH,
DAVENPORT'S CASELOADS.
EXCUSE ME.
DAVENPORT BEING
CALLED TO TRIAL?
UH...YEAH.
MUST HAVE.
SHE, UH, PHONED THE OFFICE
AND ASKED SOMEBODY
TAKE HER CASE INTERVIEW.
I DON'T WANNA HEAR
NO BABY-TALK.
[SPEAKS SPANISH]
MARTINEZ,
TABLE OF FOUR.
I THINK
I CAN RELISH IT.
RELISH WHAT?
THE LOOK ON THAT GEEK'S FACE
WHEN I RIDE DOWN ON HIM
FROM THE SADDLE OF
AN ARABIAN STALLION.
THE HORSE RACE STRIKES
AN ALMOST SUPERSTITIOUS
FEAR INTO YOUR UNEDUCATED
CITY-DWELLING GROUND TYPES.
LOOK AT CORTÉS.
AND THE SUBJUGATION
OF THE AZTECS.
DETECTIVE H. GARIBALDI,
PLEASE.
SO, JOYNER,
YOU WANNA COME TALK?
WELL, GO RIGHT
OVER HERE, PLEASE.
IT'S A CRIME,
YOU KNOW?
WHAT YOU DID.
OPERATIN' WITHOUT
NO INSURANCE.
IT'S ALSO A CRIME,
MR. JOYNER,
IF YOU EXAGGERATE AND
YOU PERJURE YOURSELF
ABOUT YOUR INJURIES.
NOW I HIT YOU GOIN'
ABOUT TEN MILES PER HOUR.
I'M UNEMPLOYED, GOT
THREE KIDS TO FEED,
AND SOME COP, WITH A JOB,
GOES AROUND HAVIN' ACCIDENTS
WITH NO INSURANCE.
LOOK, IF YOU GET ME AN
ESTIMATE FOR YOUR CAR
AND YOU SEND ME
THE DOCTOR BILLS,
I'M GONNA MAKE SURE
YOU GET PAID.
HEY, I DON'T
WANT YOU TO...
SWEAT BLOOD.
I DON'T WANNA SUE
NOBODY NEITHER, BUT...
I'M-I'M IN TROUBLE,
AND YOU COPS ARE RESPONSIBLE.
HOW'S THAT,
MR. JOYNER?
BUSTED A COUPLE NIGHTS AGO,
ON MY WAY HOME FROM A GAME,
COP SAID SOMETHIN'
ABOUT A ROBBERY.
TOOK ME BACK TO
A LIQUOR STORE.
WHITE KID,
WORKED BEHIND THERE,
SAYIN' I'M THE ONE.
AND YOU HAD
DOUGH ON YA?
FROM SHOOTIN' THE CRAPS.
AND I HAD A GUN.
WHICH I HAVE
A PERMIT FOR!
LAST GIG WAS
SECURITY GUARD,
YOU KNOW?
YEAH, WELL,
THE COPS, YOUR P.D.,
THEY CHECK OUT THE CRAP GAME
TO FIND ANY WITNESSES?
A FLOATIN' GAME
LIKE THAT,
YOU'LL NEVER SEE
THEM DUDES AGAIN.
WELL, MR. JOYNER,
DO YOU HAVE
A CRIMINAL RECORD?
ONE CONVICTION,
12 YEARS AGO,
FOR FIGHTIN', BUT
THAT'S-THAT'S IT.
[SIGHS]
DETECTIVE,
I AM INNOCENT.
I MEAN, THE GUY SAID
HE WAS ROBBED FOR 200.
I HAD 400 ON ME.
WHAT I'M DOIN' ROBBIN' HIM
IF I'M HOLDIN' $200?
YOU COULD'VE ROBBED
SOMEPLACE ELSE BEFORE--
OH, COME ON.
GIVE ME A BREAK!
I GOT A WIFE AND
THREE KIDS TO FEED.
ALL I'M ASKIN' IS
YOU HELP ME WITH THIS
AND I'LL DROP
MY WHOLE INJURY CASE.
YOU FORGET YOU EVER
SAID THAT, OKAY?
NO, NO, NO.
I WILL NOT
FORGET I SAID THAT.
PLEASE.
I CANNOT
GO TO PRISON
FOR SOMETHING
I DID NOT DO.
ALL RIGHT, LOOK.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
IF THE ARREST REPORT
BACKS UP WHAT YOU SAY
THEN I'LL INVESTIGATE.
NOW, I'M NOT GONNA
GET YOU OFF. I'M NOT
GONNA CHANGE ANYTHING.
INVESTIGATE.
YOU INVESTIGATE.
AND YOU'LL GET
NO LAWSUIT FROM ME,
BROTHER.
SIMPLE LOGIC OF WAR,
CAPTAIN.
TREATIES EXPIRE,
AND PEOPLE TRYIN' TO
JOCKEY FOR POSITION,
BE IN POWER,
IN THE NEW TREATIES.
I'M FULLY AWARE
OF THE REASONS
FOR THESE INCIDENTS.
I'M HERE TO TELL YOU ALL,
THERE NOT GONNA BE TOLERATED.
WHAT YOU WANT TO DO
IS TO UNDERSTAND IS...
JOCKEYIN'
AIN'T GONNA PAY.
IT'S LIKE IN
MY JOB PROGRAM.
AIN'T NO WAY
ANYBODY DOES TROUBLE,
THEY GONNA GET A JOB.
AND LIES
LIKE A BLOOD.
EXCUSE ME?
EVERYBODY KNOWS WHERE
THE PROBLEM'S AT, PEABODY,
WITH A CAPITAL "P."
YOU'RE GIVIN' THE JOBS
TO THE BLOOD
AND YOU'RE SELLIN'
THE JOBS OUT.
JOBS GO TO WHO'S
QUALIFIED, MAN.
LIES.
YOU'RE LYIN'.
[SPEAKS SPANISH]
PREVIOUS WEEK,
THIS INDIVIDUAL AND I
HAD A SITUATION.
DUDE GOT NOISY.
I HAD TO ADMINISTER
AN AMOUNT
OF DISCIPLINE.
AIN'T THAT RIGHT,
ERNESTO?
HAD TO PUT YOU
IN LINE, DIDN'T I?
YOU LOSE
YOUR COLORS, PUNK?
WHAT'S DUMBER
THAN A DIABLO
IS A DIABLO
-WITHOUT HIS JACKET, MAN.
-MARCUS TOOK HIS JA-CKE-TA.
A LOT OF JACKETS.
A LOT OF TIMES.
GONNA BRING YOU DOWN,
MA-- YOU UNDERSTAN--
YOU--
[CLAMORING]
NATALIE?
SEE HOW YOU THINK
THIS READS.
"TO MISPLACED LOVE...
"ALTHOUGH THE MILES
MAY SQUASH THE SMILES
"WE SHARED SO LONG AGO,
"AND YOU'RE IN VEGAS,
AND I'M NOT,
"MY HEART STILL ACHES
FOR YOU SO.
"SO, ROLL THE DICE.
"I'LL TAKE THAT CHANCE
AND TEND THE WINDOW'S LIGHT.
"BUT IF YOU CRAP OUT,
JUST REMEMBER,
I'LL ALWAYS BE HERE."
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I WA-- I WANNA WORK
ON THE END A LITTLE.
IT'S CUTE, LEO.
CUTE?
WELL, I MEAN
IT'S NICE.
SO, YOU LIKE IT?
YEAH.
ARE YOU GONNA
SEND IT THEN?
MAYBE I SHOULD WORK
ON IT SOME MORE.
IT COULD ONLY
GET BETTER.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
THE ENDING
DEFINITELY NEEDS
A LITTLE MORE OOMPH.
I DON'T KNOW.
HAS IT MADE
ANY PROGRESS?
IT'S THE POWDER KEG.
GET ME A BREAKDOWN OF
YOUTH CORPS' JOB OFFERS.
BY GANG.
IF POSSIBLE, RACIAL.
LUCKY THEY
STOPPED YOU, CHUMP.
YOU COME AROUND
LOOKIN' FOR A JOB
THE RIGHT WAY,
MAYBE YOU GET IT.
WHAT'S UP, MAN?
I HAVE TO PAY
YOU OFF?
GO AHEAD.
BE THE FOOL, MAN.
AW, MAYBE YOU'RE
THE FOOL, PEABODY.
[CLAMORING]
I SEE YOU BUSTED, MAN.
LET HIM GO, MAN!
HEY, LET HIM GO, MAN!
I'LL TAKE CARE OF HIM!
I CAN TAKE CARE OF HIM!
HEY, 'NESTO!
STOP ACTIN'
LIKE A KID.
YOU GOT SOMETHIN'
TO SAY TO ME, MAN?
I'M WEARIN' THE COLORS.
I'M A MEMBER HERE.
AND I'M GETTIN'
NOTHIN' FROM YOU.
YOU AIN'T
DOIN' NOTHIN'.
WHAT DO YOU NEED?
I NEED THE
DIABLO LEADER
TO BE A MAN.
BIG TALK FOR A KID,
'NESTO.
AW, THE HELL
WITH YOU, MAN!
YOU AIN'T GONNA
DO NOTHIN'.
I HEARD MARCUS.
HE SAID HE'D
GIVE YOU THE JOB.
NOW, YOU WANT ME
TO GO TO HIM
AND SAY, "DON'T
GIVE HIM THE JOB."
[IN SPANISH]
WHAT DO YOU HAVE, BRO?
WHAT KIND OF SATISFACTION
DO YOU WANT?
IT'S NOT THE JOB, MAN!
LET'S GO HOME.
NO!
THEY'LL GET OVER IT--
I SAY,
THE HELL WITH YOU!
MR. BRANDON?
YEAH?
AH.
JIMMY LASTARZA.
WE TALKED ON
THE TELEPHONE.
RIGHT.
SO, WHAT'S THE MATTER?
WHY THE LONG PUSS?
WELL, UH...
NOT SURE I WANT
THOSE POKER MACHINES.
YOU'RE NOT SURE?
WELL, THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.
I THOUGHT I MIGHT
BE ABLE TO PERSUADE YOU.
SO, I BROUGHT ALONG
THESE, UM...
STATISTICS.
YOUR GUY ALREADY SHOWED ME
THE BROCHURE, MR. LASTARZA.
IT'S, UH...
NOT THE PROBLEM.
THAT'S WHY
I GOT MAD AT HIM.
HE DON'T KNOW
HOW TO CLOSE.
BUT, UH...
WASN'T EXACTLY HIS FAULT,
MR. LASTARZA. I MEAN, UH...
HEY, MR. BRANDON.
MR. BRANDON.
YOU'RE LOOKING AT
ANOTHER SOURCE OF REVENUE.
I MEAN, I HAVE
37% INCREASE
IN REPORTED
PROFITABILITY,
WHICH, BETWEEN ME,
YOU, AND A LAMPPOST,
CASH BUSINESS
LIKE THESE MACHINES,
I MEAN, WHEN WAS
THE LAST TIME
YOU HEARD A GUY REPORT
HIS LAST DIME OF PROFIT?
I'D LOVE TO MAKE THE DOUGH.
IT'S FRANKLY, UH...
I'M AFRAID
TO GET INVOLVED.
WITH WHAT'S THAT,
WALLY?
WITH YOU FELLAS.
WALLY...
LOOK.
I HAD TROUBLE
GETTIN' THIS LICENSE.
I DID A TWO-YEAR BIT
WHEN I WAS A KID.
THERE'S ALL KINDS
OF TROUBLE, WALLY.
STATISTICS SHOW THAT
VARIOUS THINGS CAN HAPPEN
IF YOU DON'T MAKE
THE INSTALLATIONS.
DON'T START
WITH THE THREATS.
STATISTICS...
DON'T LIE.
SUDDENLY, I MEAN,
THERE'S A DROP-OFF OF SALES.
CLIENTELE ARE GOING ELSEWHERE,
WHICH HAS THE POKER MACHINES.
TO INCIDENTS
OF THE SMALLEST...
WEAR AND TEAR.
TO INCIDENTS OF
YOUR PHYSICAL LAYOUT.
PAGE?
HEY, COME ON!
ALL THE WAY TO FLAME.
THAT'S ENOUGH.
LOOK AT THIS.
A BUTT-IN-SKI.
YOU KNOW, SOMETHIN'?
ANYBODY CAN
HAVE AN INCIDENT.
JOEY! JOEY!
I'LL CUT HIS NOSE OFF!
JOEY!
JOEY...
THAT'S MY FACE, JOEY.
JOEY. JOEY, MY FACE.
LAY BACK.
NOW, MR. BRANDON HAD
SPECIFIC RESERVATIONS,
WHICH YOU ARE
NOT HELPING.
HOW DO YOU
WANT ME TO HELP?
WALLY!
I'M AFRAID OF LOSING
CONTROL OF MY JOINT.
WELL, WE'LL PUT IT
ON A TRIAL BASIS.
HE PUTS 'EM IN
FOR A MONTH.
AFTER THAT, HE CAN
HAVE 'EM REMOVED,
NO QUESTIONS ASKED.
GREAT. GREAT.
50% A PIECE.
WALLY?
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
WALLY!
OKAY!
ALL RIGHT,
YOU GOT A DEAL.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
MIKE.
MIKE WHAT?
FLESHER.
YOU HIS PARTNER?
HE'S GOT A NOTE
WITH ME.
I'M JUST SUPERVISIN'
MY INTEREST.
YOU WANT I SHOULD GO
FOR THE MACHINES?
YEAH, GO GET
THE MACHINES, JOEY.
YOU'RE AN
EXCITABLE GUY, MIKE.
WELL, I DON'T WISH
TO SOUND PREJUDICED,
SIR, BUT...
TAKE A LOOK
AT THAT.
I CALL THAT
ONE OF THE MOST
STATELY STEEDS THAT EVER
TOOK BITS BETWEEN TEETH.
I'M TO UNDERSTAND YOU
PURCHASED THE HORSE?
YES, AND I WISH TO DONATE
HIS SERVICES TO THE CITY
ALONG WITH $5.00 PER DIEM
TOWARDS HIS STABLE COST.
MAY I ASK WHY YOU ARE
MAKING THIS OFFER?
UH, BUDGETARY EFFECTIVENESS
IS MY LANGUAGE TOO, GENTLEMEN.
COMPARE THE BENEFITS
TO THE COMMON WELL
OF THIS PARTIALLY SUBSIDIZED
EQUINE STRIKE FORCE,
VERSUS THE NUMEROUS
BUDGET ITEMS
CONTAINED IN HERE,
WHICH CONSTITUTE
LITTLE MORE THAN
PITCHING TAX DOLLARS
INTO A BLAST FURNACE.
BUDGETARY ADIPOSE,
GENTLEMEN,
MOST EVIDENT IN LINE
OF 39B, FUNDING
BILINGUAL EDUCATION
FOR PEOPLE WHO'S
FIRST AND LAST LANGUAGE
WILL ALWAYS BE PRE-VERBAL.
OR, UH...57J,
COUNSELING SERVICES
FOR UNWED MOTHERS?
GENTLEMEN, PLEASE.
PROVIDE THEM WITH
SCARLET LETTERS
IF YOU WILL--
HEY! JUST WAIT
ONE MINUTE, BUSTER!
EXCUSE ME, FAY?
YOU'VE ALREADY
SPOKEN, MA'AM.
YES, I KNOW.
BUT YOU KNOW,
YOU NEVER LET
ME FINISH.
AND-AND BESIDES, I--
WHAT I WANNA SAY IS THAT
THAT IT'S REALLY UNFAIR
TO PUSH ONE PROGRAM
BY BELITTLING
THE UNWED MOTHERS PROGRAM.
IT'S OUR JOB TO DECIDE
WHAT'S FAIR HERE, MA'AM.
AND YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED THAT
LT. HUNTER HAS THE FLOOR NOW.
-THANK YOU.
-UH, EXCUSE ME,
ONE MINUTE, HOWARD.
BUT I WONDER IF THESE GENTLEMEN
WOULD BE PREPARED TO GIVE UP
SOME OF THEIR GOODIES.
YOU KNOW? LIKE THEIR RAISES,
THEIR JUNKETS TO TOKYO
WHICH HAPPENS TO BE
OUR SISTER CITY OF THE ORIENT.
AND HAS MUCH TO OFFER
IN THE WAY OF RAPID TRANSIT
AND MANUFACTURING
EXPERTISE.
RIGHT, NOT TO MENTION
CHEAP PEARLS
AND FREE VACATIONS
FOR THE WIVES.
YOU KNOW, UNWED MOTHERS
GET NO GOODIES, GENTLEMEN.
UH, THE HORSE HAS
A LONG AND NOBLE HISTORY
OF CONFLICT RESOLUTION.
IF YOU ARE SO EAGER TO SEE
HOW OTHER PEOPLE LIVE,
I SUGGEST YOU TAKE A JUNKET
UP TO SOUTH DECKER.
VISIT AN UNWED MOTHER
LIVING IN THAT SQUALOR.
WITH NO HEAT, NO FOOD,
NO MONEY, AND MOST IMPORTANT,
NO HOPE FOR
HER CHILD'S FUTURE.
YOU KNOW THAT THE TAX MONEY
SPENT ON ONE OF YOUR WIVES'
PLANE TICKETS COULD FEED
THEM BOTH FOR MONTHS.
MA'AM, YOU'RE
ENTIRELY OUT OF ORDER.
YOU HAVE USED UP
YOUR ALLOTMENT OF TIME.
I DON'T CARE!
I REFUSE TO SIT IN SILENCE WHILE
YOU LET GENERAL CUSTER HERE
CONVINCE YOU TO DO
FOR HORSES
WHAT YOU WON'T DO
FOR HUMAN BEINGS!
FOR THE FINAL TIME,
NEITHER OF THOSE ISSUES
AS BEEN DECIDED.
HOWEVER, DESPITE WHAT YOU
MAY THINK OF THIS COUNCIL,
COMMON SENSE SHOULD TELL YOU
THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO ROB
UNDERPRIVILEGED CITIZENS
SO THAT A HANDFUL OF POLICEMEN
CAN PLAY "RIDE 'EM COWBOY."
THAT'S VERY REASSURING.
THANK YOU.
LT. HUNTER, I BELIEVE
YOU HAVE ONE MINUTE LEFT.
UH, JOURNEY WITH ME NOW, BACK
TO THE STREETS OF ANCIENT ROME.
OFF TO A WINE-TASTING, HUH?
SO, YEAH...
I'VE BEEN HELD UP
ABOUT SIX, EIGHT TIMES
IN TWO YEARS. LOOK.
EXCUSE ME, IF I LOST COUNT.
WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME?
FOUR TIMES IN THE
LAST FOUR MONTHS.
LOOK, I'M A LIQUOR STORE.
I'M THE ONLY CASH
MACHINE IN TOWN.
SO, WHAT'S NEW?
MAYBE YOU NEED A
NEW SET OF GATES.
A NEW NEPHEW.
THEN GATES.
UH, THAT'D BE SAMMY MORSE?
AM I RIGHT? IS HE WORKIN' TODAY?
NOW, THAT'S THE
$64,000 QUESTION.
YOU WANNA MAKE
YOURSELF USEFUL?
WHY DON'T YOU FIND SAMMY,
AND I CAN GO TO LUNCH.
MY PAPERWORK INDICATES
THAT MR. MORSE PHONED IN
THE LAST FOUR ROBBERIES.
OH, HE'S GOOD AT THAT.
HANDING OVER MY TILL.
BUT ASK HIM TO PUT
THREE CASES OF STOLI
IN THE BACK, AND HE
COMES OUT WITH THE COUGHS,
HE'S GOT THE DRIPS,
PLUS HE'S GOTTA GO OUT
FOR FRESH AIR. AND PLUS,
IF YOU GO COUNT THE STOCK
THE NEXT DAY, THERE'S
ONLY TWO CASES.
LOOK IT, DON'T GET
ME STARTED HERE.
OKAY. SO, WHY DON'T YOU
GET RID OF THE GUY?
I'M GONNA GO TO
MY SISTER'S HOUSE
WITH THANKSGIVING DINNER
AFTER I FIRE HER LITTLE SAMMY?
OKAY. LOOK,
WOULD YOU DO ME A FAVOR?
IF MR. MORSE COMES IN TODAY,
WOULD YOU HAVE HIM CALL
DET. GARIBALDI,
AT THIS NUMBER?
SURE.
IF HE COMES IN
SOMETIME THIS YEAR.
MR. BRANDON?
MR. FRANCO.
WALLY BRANDON.
BUT WHERE'S THIS MIKE?
THAT'S THE GUY
I WANNA MEET.
I'M RIGHT HERE.
YOU'RE MIKE?
YEAH.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
NICE TO MEET YOU.
LESTER FRANCO.
NICE TO MEET YOU, LESTER.
SO, MR. BRANDON,
I UNDERSTAND
WE GOT A TRIAL MARRIAGE.
30 DAY, NO FAULT,
ARRANGEMENT.
-RIGHT.
-RUN IT DOWN
FOR HIM, JIMMY.
WELL, THE MACHINES DON'T
PAY OFF WHEN SOMEBODY WINS.
GOTTA PAY THEM
FROM YOUR REGISTER.
WHICH THE MACHINES
TRACK THE PAYOFFS.
DON'T CHEAT
YOUR PARTNERS.
YOU PARTNERS WITH
THIS FELLOW, MIKE?
NO, I JUST MADE HIM
A LOAN TO GET STARTED.
YEAH, JIMMY TELLS ME,
UH...
YOU MIGHT HAVE SOME INTEREST
IN MAKIN' SOME OTHER LOANS.
YOU MIGHT WANNA PUT SOME
DOUGH ON THE STREET.
IT'S A DEFINITE
POSSIBILITY.
BECAUSE WE HAVE WAYS
TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
WE HAVE A STEADY STREAM
OF LOAN APPLICATIONS,
-WHICH WE GET FROM MANY--
-COUPLE OF SODAS AT THAT
MACHINE OVER THERE, PLEASE.
RIGHT DOWN.
[CHATTERING]
TWO SODAS.
[ANDY]
WHAT DO I DO NOW?
-BUCK AND A HALF.
-ALL RIGHT.
[JIMMY]
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
[ANDY]
I GOT TWO KINGS, AN ACE,
AND TWO LITTLE ONES.
WELL, PUSH THE BUTTONS
UNDER WHAT YOU WANNA KEEP,
PUNCH DRAW, AND YOU'LL
GET A COUPLE MORE CARDS.
OKAY.
-YOU PLAY THOSE?
-AH, TOO HARD
FOR ME TO STOP.
I'M THAT WAY
WITH COOKIES.
OH, MY GOD.
LOOK AT THIS!
-WHAT HAPPENED?
-FULL HOUSE.
SEE THAT?
THOSE MACHINES,
THEY'LL LOSE.
AT WHAT?
PAY HIS 30 TO ONE.
PAY THE MAN OFF, WALLY.
HEY, PAY THE MAN, WALLY.
ALL RIGHT,
THAT'S IT.
THIS ESTABLISHMENT
IS CLOSED.
OH, MAN.
LADY, LADY.
WHAT IS THE DEAL HERE?
THIS BAR IS BEING
PADLOCKED FOR VIOLATION
OF THE STATE LIQUOR LAW
OF GAMBLING ON THE PREMISES--
-MA'AM, NO, NO.
-MA'AM, YOU DON'T--
-NOW DON'T GIVE ME
A HARD TIME, SIR.
-LADY...
LADY, WHAT ABOUT
MY 30 TO ONE?
YOU CAN TURN IT INTO
30 DAYS IF YOU LIKE, PAL.
OH, I CAN, CAN I?
INTERFERING WITH THE
STATE LIQUOR AUTHORITIES.
-THIS IS A TRAVESTY!
-ANDY. ANDY!
THIS IS A MISCARRIAGE
OF JUSTICE. YOU HEAR ME?
OKAY, EVERYBODY OUTSIDE, SIR.
I SAID A MISCARRIAGE.
ARE YOU THE OWNERS HERE?
-NO.
-NO, MA'AM.
I SUGGEST YOU LEAVE.
SEE THIS, MIKE.
YOU SEE, THIS IS
A GREAT ARGUMENT
FOR DIVERSIFICATION.
LET'S, YOU AND I, TALK.
THERE WAS AN ENSUING SCUFFLE,
DURING WHICH MARCUS BACKED
OFFICER DAVIS INTO
A SHARD OF GLASS.
INADVERTENTLY?
IT APPEARED SO.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, IT'S, UH...
JUST A BAND-AID CUT.
RUDY, ANY OBJECTIONS
IF WE DON'T BRING CHARGES?
NO, NONE HERE.
I GRABBED THE GUY.
IT GOT A LITTLE HOT.
IT HAPPENS.
OKAY, THANKS.
THAT'S ALL.
THANK YOU.
I APPRECIATE THAT, FRANK.
MR. MAYOR, I HAVE
TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.
I THINK YOU HAVE
A PROBLEM WITH PEABODY.
FRANK, WE BOTH KNOW
THIS KID'S BACKGROUND.
HE'S COME A LONG WAY.
I WANNA GIVE HIM THE SHOT.
I'D LIKE TO SEE HIM WORK OUT.
SO WOULD I, BUT
IN THE MEAN TIME,
HIS TEMPER ASIDE,
I KEEP HEARING
ALLEGATIONS OF CORRUPTION.
HE'S HIRING ONLY
MEMBERS OF HIS OWN GANG.
WILL YOU CHECK
THAT OUT FOR ME?
WE'RE DOING THAT.
HOW ARE YOU DOING
ON THE TREATY RENEWAL?
WE'RE TRYING.
I NOTICED A BUMP
IN INCIDENTS.
ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN
THEY'RE ABOUT TO EXPIRE.
CAN I TAKE
PEABODY WITH ME?
YEAH. WE SHOULD BE
RELEASING HIM SOON.
THANKS, FRANK.
SINCE WHEN DO YOU PEOPLE MOVE
ON A PLACE WITHOUT NOTIFYING US?
I COULD ASK YOU
THE SAME QUESTION.
THERE'S A SLIGHT
DIFFERENCE.
NOT ONLY DID YOU
COMPROMISE AN OPERATION,
YOU PUT OFFICERS
AT RISK.
WHICH WOULDN'T
HAVE HAPPENED
IF I'D KNOWN
-THE GUYS WERE IN THERE--
-BUT YOU WOULD'VE KNOWN
HAD YOU BOTHERED TO CHECK.
OKAY. SO THE LEFT HAND
OUGHTA KNOW WHAT
THE RIGHT HAND IS DOING.
AND MAYBE THAT
WOULD BE THE CASE,
IF IT WASN'T FOR THE FACT
THAT THE LEFT HAND HAS BEEN
KNOWN TO DIP INTO
THE WRONG POCKETS.
I SUPPOSE, TO THE SPOTLESS
RECORD OF YOUR DEPARTMENT.
OKAY.
SO, NOW WE BOTH SEE HOW
THE SITUATION COULD HAPPEN.
LET'S GET ONE THING STRAIGHT.
THIS ISN'T JERRY FUCHS
YOU'RE DEALING WITH NOW.
WHATEVER HAPPENED
BEFORE IS HISTORY.
I DON'T WANNA HAVE
OUR PEOPLE JEOPARDIZED
-BECAUSE OF IT.
-OKAY, I HEAR YOU.
I STILL HAVE PEOPLE OUT THERE,
AND I DON'T WANT YOU ANYWHERE
NEAR THEM. IN FACT,
I WANNA KNOW EVERY MOVE
-YOU MAKE FROM HERE ON OUT.
-OKAY! ALL RIGHT.
SORRY ABOUT THE MIX UP.
FRIENDLY CROWD,
UP HERE.
SEE YOU LATER.
MR. BRANDON, I'M TRYING
TO GET UP TO SPEED ON WHAT--
YOU'RE TRYING
TO GET UP TO SPEED?
I GET APPROACHED BY
SOME MUSCLE GUYS,
AND I COME TO YOU PEOPLE,
AND I WIND UP CLOSED.
AND MY LICENSE IS GONE.
MY BEST UNDERSTANDING
IS THAT THE STATE
LIQUOR AUTHORITY WAS UNAWARE
THAT WE HAD AN UNDERCOVER.
WHY DON'T ALL YOU PEOPLE
SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE?
DON'T YOU ALL TALK BRIBE?
NOW, LOOK!
WE'RE GONNA DO
THE BEST WE CAN
TO GET YOU OPEN
AS FAST AS WE CAN.
GREAT! AND WHO'S GONNA PUT
FOOD ON MY TABLE MEANTIME,
-AND PAY MY BILLS.
-I'M REALLY VERY
SORRY ABOUT THAT.
BUT I CAN PROMISE YOU,
WE'RE GONNA TRY TO
STRAIGHTEN IT OUT.
THAT'S IT?
YOU'RE GONNA TRY.
THAT'S IT!
I'LL KEEP YOU POSTED.
LET'S GO
BE A CITIZEN!
THAT GUY'S REALLY
GETTING A BUM SHAKE.
NO ARGUMENT,
MICK.
IS YOUR COVER AHOLD?
YEAH, I THINK SO.
HOW DID YOU
LEAVE IT WITH THEM?
I'M SUPPOSED TO GO TO THIS
OTHER JOINT, THIS AFTERNOON.
EXCUSE ME, NEAL.
NEAL, CAN I TALK
TO YOU FOR A SEC?
YEAH, SURE. I'LL TALK WITH
YOU LATER, CHERRY, OKAY?
ALL RIGHT, I PULLED
ALL THE PAPERS.
NOW, THIS FLOYD'S
A CLEAN FAMILY GUY.
AND THE LIQUOR STORE
CLERK IS A BUM.
HEY, LOOK, YOU HAVEN'T EVEN
TALKED TO THE GUY, HARRY!
RIGHT! HE DIDN'T CALL.
NOW, I'M TELLIN' YOU
HIS OWN UNCLE THINKS
HE'S A TOTAL BUM.
FROM THE DESCRIPTION,
HE SOUNDS LIKE A DRUGGIE.
LOOK, I'M GONNA
RUN HIS P.C.I.
HARRY, CAPTAIN WANTS
TO SEE YOU RIGHT AWAY.
NATALIE, I'VE BEEN
WORKIN' ON THE POEM.
DO YOU WANNA HEAR
THE NEW VERSION?
DO I HAVE TO?
I REALLY PUNCHED IT UP.
LEO, LOOK, I REALLY HATE
SAYIN' THIS, YOU KNOW?
BUT I THINK YOU'RE
KIDDING YOURSELF.
YOUR WIFE BOUGHT
A TICKET TO VEGAS,
AND IT WAS ONE-WAY.
YEAH.
I MEAN, YOU OUGHTA GET
ON WITH YOUR OWN LIFE.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU DO
AT NIGHT?
I DON'T KNOW.
GOT MY DICE
BASEBALL SET.
YEAH?
YEAH, THERE'S A HOT
PENNANT RACE ON.
SO, THAT'S A PLUS.
YOU EVER PLAY IN
AN AWAY GAME?
WHAT?
WHY DON'T YOU PLAY AT
MY BALLPARK TOMORROW?
YOU LIKE
CHICKEN IN A POT?
IT'S ONLY LEFTOVERS, BUT--
IT'S BETTER
THE SECOND TIME.
LEO!
I'M PULLING
THE DUTY LIST.
THERE'S SHOTS FIRED DOWN
AT THAT JOB CORPS STOREFRONT.
YEAH, SURE.
YES, THE COURT CALLED.
YES, HE'S ANGRY.
CLAIMS YOU'RE TRYIN'
TO GET HIM FIRED.
-NOT TRUE, CAPTAIN.
-WHAT WERE YOU DOING THERE?
AN ONGOING
INVESTIGATION--
YOUR ONGOING
INVESTIGATION?
I ALSO RECEIVED A CALL FROM
O'MALLEY ON THE NIGHT SHIFT.
HE CLAIMS YOU'RE TRYING
TO MIX IN ON HIS CASE.
YEAH, WELL, IF HE'D DONE
SOME POLICE WORK ON IT,
THEN I WOULDN'T HAVE TO.
YEAH, I SPOKE TO O'MALLEY.
I DIDN'T GO BEHIND HIS BACK.
AND HE TOLD YOU,
POLITELY, TO BACK OFF.
WELL, I'M TELLIN' IT
A LITTLE LESS POLITELY.
WHAT HAPPENED THIS MORNING
BETWEEN YOU AND THE DEFENDANT,
FLOYD JOYNER?
HAD A LITTLE
FENDER BENDER.
MY INSURANCE
WAS EXPIRED.
PUTTING ASIDE THAT
THAT'S A V.T.L. MISDEMEANOR,
HOW THE HELL DO YOU THINK
IT LOOKS WITH YOU OUT THERE,
TRYING TO CLEAR
THE GUY OF A RAP?
WHAT'S NEXT? PLEA BARGAINING
HOOKERS IN THE BACKSEAT?
WAIT. THERE'S NO DEAL BETWEEN
ME AND MR. JOYNER, CAPTAIN.
I THINK THAT
THE MAN IS INNOCENT.
I SAY THERE IS A DEAL,
WHETHER YOU AGREE TO IT
IN WORDS OR NOT.
STAY AWAY FROM IT.
-THE MAN IS INNOCENT--
-STAY AWAY!
[SIRENS BLARING]
[SCREECHING]
HEY!
HE'S GOT A GUN!
HE'S CRAZY!
LACUNO, WHAT HAPPENED?
THIS PUNK KID
COMES IN AND SAYS
HE HAD AN APPOINTMENT
TO SEE MARCUS.
-MARCUS PEABODY?
-RIGHT.
-BUT WHO'S THE KID?
-DIABLO, THAT CRAZY FREAK
THAT JUMPED HIM
THIS MORNING.
I KNEW SOMETHIN' WAS
WRONG WITH THAT DUDE.
I KNEW SOMETHIN'
WAS WRONG.
MARCUS DIDN'T LET HIM IN,
THOUGH, YOU KNOW?
SO, HE GOES IN.
-STARTS SHOUTIN'.
-YEAH, UNIT 2203...
WE HAVE A HOSTAGE SITUATION
AT THE YOUTH CORPS JOB CENTER.
THE DIABLO KID
HAS MARCUS PEABODY.
[ERNESTO]
HEY! YOU TELL
JESUS MARTINEZ, IF HE DON'T
WANNA TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS,
I'M GONNA DO IT!
DO YOU HEAR ME?
I'LL KILL HIM!
SOMEBODY BETTER GET
MARTINEZ IN HERE.
I'M TAKIN' CARE
OF BUSINESS!
IS IT MANAGEABLE
IN TERMS OF BACK-UPS, HENRY?
SEEMS TO BE
FOR NOW.
ALL RIGHT, THEN. HOWARD SHOULD
BE THERE IN ABOUT 20 MINUTES.
ANY KIND OF BREAK, FRANK.
I THINK WE'RE GONNA
GET THE KID OUT.
SERGEANT.
-SERGEANT.
-IRWIN. JUDGE WACHTEL.
WHAT'S THE CEREMONY, FRANK?
YOU CALL ME ALAN.
THIS IS GONNA
SHOCK YOU, FRANK.
WE HAVE BEEN HAVING
COMMUNICATIONS PROBLEMS
-AMONG THE ENFORCEMENT ARMS.
-MORE?
I-- MORE THAN THE S.L.A. FOUL UP
AT YOUR UNDER COVER BAR?
[INHALES]
NO.
I GUESS YOU COULD TAKE THIS
AS ALL PART OF SAME FOUL UP.
WE HAVE BEEN MOVING
ON LESTER FRANCO.
THE ONE PRODUCTIVE FACT
THAT CAME OUT OF
A SHOUTING SESSION I HAD
WITH THOSE S.L.A. PEOPLE
THIS AFTERNOON, WAS THAT
YOU ALSO HAVE BEEN MOVING
-IN ON LESTER FRANCO.
-DAMN IT, IRWIN.
THIS KIND OF CRAP
IS NOT FUNNY.
I HAVE MEN
OUT THERE AT RISK.
FRANCO APPROACHED WACHTEL
TO TOSS THE SOUTH FERRY BUST
-ON THESE VIDEO POKER GAMES.
-WHATEVER THEY EXPECTED, FRANK,
BASED ON HEAVEN KNOWS
WHAT PAST HISTORY,
DOROTHY WACHTEL DID NOT
RAISE A CORRUPT JURIST.
ALAN HAD AGREED TO WEAR
A WIRE ON THESE GUYS.
WE HAD ARRANGED A MEETING FOR
TONIGHT AT THE LUCKY DUKES.
SO HELP ME, I THINK I'M
BECOMING AN EXCITEMENT JUNKIE.
THIS SHOULD'VE BEEN
COORDINATED EARLIER, FRANK.
WE ARE TRYING
TO COORDINATE NOW.
WE HAVE MOVED THE LIQUOR
AUTHORITY'S PROCEEDING
ONTO ALAN'S DOCKET.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
WE'RE NOT GOING TO BUMP
INTO ANYTHING OF YOURS.
I'LL CALL YOU AT
THE END OF BUSINESS.
HEY, LET'S NOT COP
AN ATTITUDE, FRANK!
I'M THE ONE THAT'S GOIN'
ON TO THE FRONT LINES.
I'M HAVING BELKER
INVENTORY HIS COVER.
-I'LL CALL YOU WHEN I KNOW.
-FINE. GOOD.
[SIGHS]
I'M SORRY.
I'M SORRY, FRANK. I R--
I REALLY AM. I'M--
I'M-I'M SURE BELKER'S
PLAYIN' HARDBALL TOO.
-ALAN.
-HEY! WE'RE ALL ON
THE FRONT LINES.
JUDGE!
NEAL!
NEAL, LOOK AT THE P.C.I.
ON THE LIQUOR STORE CLERK.
I'VE GOT NEWHAVEN,
CONNECTICUT.
LARCENY, ONE.
HE COPPED TO THE MIS.
DOPE, HEROIN,
ANOTHER LARCENY, ONE,
ALL DISMISSED.
CALL NEW HAVEN
AND SEE WHAT IT WAS?
-NOT YET.
-AW, HARRY!
SIT DOWN, MAN.
NOW, YOU DO MENDOZA, OKAY?
[MICK]
IT'S A NICE PLACE.
HOW COME
IT'S NOT OPEN?
WELL, WE DON'T LIKE
TO STAY OPEN TOO LONG, MIKE.
FOUR HOURS A NIGHT.
I USE IT MORE LIKE
AN OFFICE, MIKE.
WE'VE BEEN HERE NOW
FOR MORE THAN 16 YEARS.
-GIMME A SEVEN AND SEVEN,
WOULD YOU?
-COMING RIGHT UP.
THIS ONE, THE LIQUOR
AUTHORITY DON'T CLOSE.
YOU HAD NO INKLING
THEY WERE AFTER YOU?
NONE, WHATSOEVER.
BECAUSE USUALLY YOU CAN
SMELL SOMETHING LIKE THAT
IN THE WIND.
WHATEVER.
STEP INTO MY OFFICE.
YOU KNOW, WE THINK WE CAN
OPEN YOU UP AGAIN PRETTY QUICK.
[CHUCKLES]
HOW YOU GONNA DO THAT?
SOMETHING WITH
THE JUDICIARY.
IN THE MEANTIME, WE WANT
YOU TO GET WELL AGAIN.
WE WANT TO PUT
YOUR MONEY TO WORK.
GOOD. GOOD.
'CAUSE I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU
FIGURED I WAS BAD LUCK.
THERE'S NO SUCH THING
AS THAT, MICHAEL.
I DON'T BELIEVE IN IT.
WE PROVIDE YOU
WITH APPLICANTS,
AND COLLECTION
ASSISTANTS.
WE MAKE LOANS
UP TO TEN G'S.
YOU GIVE US
THREE POINTS A MONTH.
ANYTHING OVER THAT,
YOU PAY US TWO AND A HALF.
I DON'T NEED ANY HELP
WITH COLLECTIONS.
TOUGH GUY.
SUPPOSE YOU GET
A POSTCARD FROM FLORIDA.
YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
YOU CAN NEVER HAVE
TOO MUCH HELP, MICHAEL.
YOU CAN NEVER BE
TOO WELL CONNECTED.
I'M IN.
ATTABOY.
HEY, HEY, HEY! SORRY.
JUST ABOUT TO CLOSE
FOR A FEW MINUTES.
LET'S CLOSE THEN.
HEY, NO.
SERIOUSLY.
SAMMY MORSE, RIGHT?
WHO, UH...
WANTS TO KNOW?
GOT A FEW QUESTIONS.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
YOU GOT A COLD, SAMMY?
AW, MAN. I TALKED TO YOU GUYS
A HUNDRED TIMES ALREADY.
EVER BEEN
TO NEW HAVEN, SAMMY?
SEE, WE MADE A FEW CALLS
TO NEW HAVEN COPS.
FOUND OUT YOU WORKED
IN A LIQUOR STORE, RIGHT?
-WA-WAIT A MINUTE.
-ABOUT THIS LARCENY BIT,
IS THAT RIGHT, WHAT THEY
SAY YOU WERE DOING, SAMMY?
SKIMMIN' THE TILL
LIKE THAT.
-HEY, I WASN'T--
-YEAH, CLAIMED THAT
SOMEBODY KEPT
HOLDIN' YOU UP.
-NO, I--
-BOTH TIMES THEY FOUND
THE CASH IN YOUR CAR.
SIX MONTHS LATER, YOU GET BUSTED
ON THE SAME SHOT IN ALBANY.
-HEY, I GOT MY RIGHTS--
-ONLY COST YOU
THREE MONTHS, MAN.
BUT NOW YOU'RE
DOIN' IT HERE, SAM.
AND IT'S YOUR
THIRD TIME AROUND TOO.
YOU KNOW, YOU COULD GO AWAY FOR
A PRETTY GOOD STRETCH, MY MAN?
[BELL RINGS]
HEY, SAMMY.
HEY!
TEDDY, WHAT'S
HAPPENIN', MAN?
HEY. HEY. EY, I WAS JUST
LOOKIN' TO GET THE--
OH, NO GOOD BRO.
HEY, WHAT'S A MATTER?
YOU DEALIN' FOR SAMMY?
HEY, DON'T GET NERVOUS, SAMMY.
JUST PUT YOUR HANDS ON
THE COUNTER. YOU TOO, MAN.
OH, MAN! THIS IS LAME!
BOOZE IS LEGAL.
OOH, LOOK IT HERE.
-LOOK A HERE, MY MAN.
-AW, MAN.
UH-HUH. PRETTY EXPENSIVE
HABIT YOU GOT HERE, SAMMY.
YOU HAVE TO DIG PRETTY DEEP
IN YOUR POCKET, DON'T YOU?
YOU HAVE TO DIP INTO
YOUR UNCLE'S POCKET TOO,
AIN'T THAT RIGHT?
-YEAH.
-WHAT'S THAT?
-CAN'T HEAR YOU, SAMMY.
-YEAH! YEAH! I SAID, "YEAH!"
UH-HUH.
NO STICK UP, RIGHT?
JUST SAMMY, PICKIN' UP
THE TAB FOR HIS JONES.
PUT YOUR HEAD BACK DOWN
ON THE COUNTER.
YOU TOO, CHUMP.
YOU LOOK
PRETTY TIRED TO ME.
LISTEN, 'NESTO.
YOU DO THE RIGHT THING, BRO.
THAT'S RIGHT. THEY'LL BE
OTHER DAYS BETTER THAN THIS.
YOUR GRIEVANCES HAVE
BEEN HEARD, ERNESTO.
I PROMISE YOU,
SOMETHING'S GONNA BE DONE
ABOUT YOUR SITUATION.
NOBODY HAS TO GET HURT.
NO! NO MORE DAMAGE.
STATUS?
HENRY'S GOT THE KID'S POSITION.
HIS ADRENALINE
IS RUNNING DRY.
WE CAN GET HIM OUT, FRANK.
HOW'S PEABODY?
HE'S ALL RIGHT.
WE CAN HEAR HIM.
WHO'S THE CHUMP?
UH, ERNESTO MONTE BLANCO.
HE'S A DIABLO.
PICKED AT HIM THIS MORNING.
KID TOOK A SWING AT HIM.
...
HENRY?
YOU GOT FRIENDS OUT HERE.
HE WANT ANYTHING SPECIFIC?
HIS DIGNITY BACK.
THAT'S RIGHT.
ERNESTO, ARE YOU READY TO DO
WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT NOW?
[MAYOR]
DID MARCUS PROVOKE
THIS IN ANY WAY?
NOT THAT WE KNOW OF.
THE IMPRESSION IS
PEABODY'S STANDING
HIM DOWN.
[SIREN WINDS DOWN]
HE'S PUTTING IT DOWN.
HE'S COMING OUT.
[BULLETS FIRING]
[MAN SCREAMING]
IT'S ALL RIGHT,
DON'T SHOOT!
ALL RIGHT.
IT'S COOL.
IT'S COOL!
CHUMP MADE
A MISTAKE.
-HOWARD.
-VALENTINE!
COPY, DAVIS!
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
[SIRENS BLARING]
[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]
GET HIM THE HELL
OUT OF HERE.
HE'S FINISHED.
GET ME THE HELL
OUT OF HERE TOO.
YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT,
I TOOK THE CHANCE, MAN!
HE ALREADY FIRED
ON ME TWICE.
WAIT A SEC!
WAIT A SEC.
HADN'T HE INDICATED
HE WAS ABOUT TO SURRENDER?
HEY, MAN. LOOK,
I'M NO MIND READER.
THE KID HAD
A PIECE ON ME.
MY UNDERSTANDING WAS
HE'D LOWERED THE GUN!
HEY, LOOK, I SELF-DEFENDED
MYSELF, ALL RIGHT?
ANYTHING WRONG
WITH THAT?
NOW, I WAIT FOR YOU,
AND MAYBE YOU TALK HIM
INTO THIS OR THAT.
OR MAYBE I'M DEAD.
THERE WAS A STRUGGLE,
AND THE GUN WENT OFF!
PERJURY. FILING
A FALSE POLICE REPORT.
POSSESSION WITH
INTENT TO SELL.
UH-UH, THIS WAY,
GENTLEMEN.
NEAL!
CAPTAIN WANTS
TO SEE YOU.
OKAY, LIEUTENANT.
HOWARD?
WHAT'S WRONG, HOWARD?
I HAVE JUST HEARD
THAT THE EQUINE RAPID
DEVELOPMENT FORCE
HAS BEEN FILLED
BY THE BUDGET ACTS.
WELL, I'M SORRY.
BY HEAVENS, RAYMUNDO,
AM I TO BE MASTERED
BY THESE BLUE-PENCILED,
WHEELING, MEALY MINDS?
MUST MY JOY HAVE
OCCUPATIONAL SANCTION?
[SCOFFS]
LIFE IS TOO SHORT.
JOY TOO SELDOM
TO COME BY.
APOLLO'S DEAD.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND,
HOWARD.
[SIGHS]
APOLLO.
-WHAT IS APOLLO?
-APOLLO! APOLLO, MY HORSE.
IF THE CITY COUNCIL
DOESN'T WANT HIM,
I DO. AND
I'M GONNA KEEP HIM.
YEAH, WELL, THE HELL
WITH YOU, YOUR HONOR!
WHERE'S FURILLO?
HEY, FORGET IT, MARCUS.
I WANT FURILLO.
YOU'RE NOT GETTIN' HIM
SO JUST LIGHTEN UP.
HE TOOK MY JOB, MAN.
HE SHUFFLED ME OUT.
YEAH, BECAUSE YOU
KILLED THAT KID, HUH?
HEY!
-KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF ME!
-NO, MARCUS!
NO, MARC--
NO MORE TEMPER!
[GRUNTS]
GET OFF OF ME!
I GOT HIM.
I GOT HIM.
-GET OFF ME MAN!
-I GOT HIM! I'LL TAKE CARE!
WOULD YOU
LIGHTEN UP, MARCUS.
YOU LIGHTEN UP, OR YOUR HEAD
IS BUSTED, AND YOU'RE GONE.
[HEAVY BREATHING]
TOM.
WHATEVER YOU SAY.
WHATEVER YOU WANT.
YOU JUST DON'T GET YOURSELF
JAMMED, UNDERSTAND?
I MEAN, YOU KNOW
THE MAN TOOK MY JOB.
I JUST TALKED TO THAT TOM
MAYOR, ON THE PHONE, MAN.
HE ALREADY
TOOK MY JOB.
AND YOU TALK ABOUT
JAMMIN' ME UP.
OKAY, WELL,
I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT.
WILL YOU RELAX?
-TAKE A DEEP--
-I WAS-- I WAS
DEFENDIN' MYSELF.
YEAH, TAKE IT EASY.
ALL RIGHT.
FURILLO!
YOU SATISFIED, MAN, HUH?
IS THAT WHAT YOU WANTED?
WHAT'D YOU TELL HIM, HUH?
YOU TELL HIM
"PEABODY'S TOO STREET?"
-MARCUS! MARCUS!
-PEABODY CAN'T
KEEP CONTROL, HUH?
MARCUS.
LISTEN TO ME.
YOU ALREADY MADE
TWO MISTAKES TODAY.
NOW YOU CAN'T--
WIN THIS ONE!
YOU CAN'T WIN, MAN.
NOT NOW!
YOU JUST
MOVE ON.
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?
MOVE ON!
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, MAN.
I WAS TRYIN'
TO HELP.
UNDERSTAND YOU
MADE A SMART BUST.
YEAH.
THANK YOU, SIR.
NOW GIVE ME 30 SECONDS
ON WHY I SHOULDN'T
TRANSFER GARIBALDI.
I DON'T KNOW, CAPTAIN.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD.
WHAT'S THE COUNTS?
BECAUSE HE DOESN'T LISTEN.
BECAUSE HE HANDLES
HIMSELF LIKE A KID.
AND BECAUSE, MAYBE,
HE GETS HIS PARTNER
CAUGHT IN THE SWITCHES.
ABOUT THAT LIQUOR STORE
THING, CAPTAIN...
I WENT BACK THERE
ON MY OWN HOOK.
DID SOME CALLIN', DECIDED
HIS COMPLACENCE WAS BAD.
BY THE WAY,
I CHECKED WITH O'MALLEY,
AND THAT GUY?
HE WAS COOL, ONCE
I LAID IT OUT FOR HIM.
OKAY,
I'LL KEEP HIM.
HARRY'S OKAY, CAPTAIN.
MAYBE HE GETS A LITTLE
CUTE SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW?
BUT...
HE'S GOTTA GET TAUGHT.
IT'LL BE YOUR JOB
'TIL JD GETS BACK.
I'LL TRY, CAPTAIN.
YOU KNOW?
GOOD.
'CAUSE I LIKE HARRY, NEAL.
I THINK HE'S
A BRIGHT, CONCERNED GUY.
BUT HE REAR-ENDED A CITIZEN.
HIS INSURANCE IS EXPIRED.
A WHOLE DAY'S GONE BY, AND
IT'S PROBABLY STILL EXPIRED.
I HEAR YA, CAPTAIN.
MISS DAVENPORT.
LOOKING GOOD.
HERE.
PUT THIS ON.
-WHAT IS IT?
-TUXEDO.
-WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL DAY?
-NEVER MIND WHERE I'VE BEEN.
THIS IS FOR THE
SUMMER LOVE BENEFIT.
REMEMBER?
THE NEED OF CHILDREN,
WHO HAVE TO GO
TO SUMMER CAMP?
I THOUGHT THE DEAL WAS
I'D BUY THE TICKETS
IF WE DIDN'T
HAVE TO GO.
WELL, WE DECIDED TO GO.
WE DID?
[CHUCKLES]
I'M SORRY, FRANK.
I MEAN, I KNOW I TOOK
THE LIBERTIES, BUT
I JUST FELT
LIKE DANCING.
YOU REALLY MIND?
NO, IT'S OKAY.
SERIOUSLY?
JO, IT'S ALL RIGHT.
WE CAN STOP AT MURPHY'S ON
THE WAY BACK AND GET A BURGER?
[LAUGHS]
YOU GOT IT.
WE CAN STOP AT MURPHY'S ON
THE WAY OVER AND GET A BURGER?
-FORGET THAT.
-CAN WE STOP AT MURPHY'S--
GO ON!
GO CHANGE.
OKAY.
NOW, YOU LOOK HERE, SUCKA.
I'VE DONE TOO MUCH
COVERIN' IN MY TIME.
SO, IF YOU GONNA
MAKE IT UP HERE,
YOU GONNA MAKE IT FAST,
YOU DIG IT?
HARRY.
NEAL.
-CAPTAIN.
-CAPTAIN.
KEN AND BARBIE.
[LAUGHS]
YOU FUNNY DUDE,
YOU KNOW THAT?
PEOPLE LIKE YOU.
I LIKE YOU.
BUT YOU COULD GO
EITHER WAY, HARRY,
AND EVERYBODY UP HERE
KNOWS IT, MAN.
♪♪ [CLASSICAL MUSIC]
I'VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING
LIKE THAT BEFORE.
MY SISTER CRIED.
I DROVE TO THE SHORE.
AND I RENTED
A ROW BOAT.
AND I HAD LUNCH IN THIS--
IN THIS LITTLE OUTDOOR CAFE.
IT WAS WONDERFUL, FRANK.
I DIDN'T THINK
ABOUT COURTROOMS,
OR SQUAD ROOMS
ALL DAY.
GOOD FOR YOU, JOYCE.
[LAUGHS]
THANK YOU, IRWIN.
IRWIN.
[SIGHS]
WE COULD ALL TAKE
A LESSON FROM FRANK.
OR WE COULD ALL
TAKE A DRINK.

NO, IT'S MINE.

WE'RE ALL OFFICERS OF
THE COURT HERE, IRWIN.
LIGHTEN UP.
I'M WEARIN' A WIRE.
YOU'RE ALSO
WEARING A WIG.
WELL, THEY'LL
BE EXPECTING IT.
THEY'LL THINK I'M
A JUDGE TAKING A BRIBE.
THEY'LL THINK
I'M SCARED.
THEY'LL THINK I THINK
I'D BETTER BE INCOGNITO.
ERGO...

GOOD THINKING, ALAN.

I'M REALLY SORRY.
DO YOU WANT
TO STAY?
YES.

OH, GOD.
I LOVE IT.
FRANK EVER TELL YOU
ABOUT THE TIME
I WORE A MIKE
IN MY BRASSIERE?
DO YOU KNOW
WHAT A STEAMER IS?
NO.
I GET CARRIED AWAY
WHEN I BET.
AND IF I START TO LOSE,
I GET STEAMED.
I START TO BUILD
MY BETS UP.
MR. FRANKLIN, DOES THIS MAN
LOOK LIKE A HEAD DOCTOR?
I'M JUST SAYIN', OKAY?
SO, THE BOOKIE
LETS ME PLAY, MAN.
HE LETS ME GO TO
A THOUSAND A GAME.
DOES THIS MAN
LOOK LIKE
YOUR BOOKMAKER,
MR. FRANKLIN?
I NEED THREE THOUSAND.
AND I CAN PAY IT BACK
I CAN PAY IT BACK TO YA
IN-IN ABOUT SIX WEEKS.
THAT'LL HAPPEN
WHEN IT HAPPENS.
THE ONLY THING
THIS MAN HAS GOT TO KNOW,
THAT EVERY MONDAY,
UNTIL IT'S PAID UP,
YOU'RE HERE
WITH AN ENVELOPE,
WITH EITHER MYSELF
OR JOEY DESOTO.
HEY, HEY. WHAT TIME DO YOU
WANT ME HERE, MONDAY?
EXCUSE ME.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
NATURE CALLS.
HAS IT OCCURRED TO YOU
YOU'RE FRISKING A JUDGE?
I GOT MY INSTRUCTIONS,
YOUR HONOR.
-HEY!
-HEY, MIKE.
WHAT KINDA MICKEY MOUSE
IS THIS, HUH?
ANYBODY COULD
WALK IN HERE.
MR. FRANCO SAID
"SEARCH HIM."
OH, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
SEARCH HIM OR KISS HIM?
GET THE DOORJAMB.
GO ON. GO ON!
I'M WARNING YOU.
I'M TICKLISH.
[GRITTING HIS TEETH]
I KNOW.
[SIREN BLARING]
TWO DEAD. FIVE WOUNDED,
ONE CRITICALLY.
-BYSTANDER.
-WHO STARTED IT?
THEY CAME IN TO PAY BACK
THE BLOOD ABOUT...
20 DIABLOS
IN FOUR CARS.
THE BLOOD WERE EXPECTING
TO AMBUSH HIM HERE.
FIRST GUNFIRE,
THEN HAND-TO-HAND
IN THE STREET.
DIABLOS GOT MESSED UP
PRETTY BADLY, YOU KNOW?
HEY, WE GOT HIM, MAN!
WE KILLED HIM!
THEY DRAGGED HIM AWAY!
THE TYRANTS,
BLOOD TOOK OFF.
WHERE'S JESUS?
NOBODY KNOWS.
THEY SAY HE WASN'T
ANY PART OF IT.
HERE'S A PIECE OF NEWS.
MARCUS PEABODY WAS
WITH THE BLOOD.
THREE WITNESSES SAW.
ALL RIGHT.
A.P.B. ON PEABODY.
EVERYBODY ON THE NIGHT SHIFT
OUT ON THE STREET.
I'M GONNA KILL HIM, MAN!
[SHOUTS]
YOU GET HIM
OUT OF HERE!
HI.
HI.
IT'S A QUARTER TO TWO.
NO ONE IN THE PLACE.
JUST ME AND YOU.
JOYCE.
DON'T JOYCE ME.
YOU LEFT.
AFTER YOU LEFT,
I HAD A WONDERFUL TIME.
GREAT.
RUB MY NOSE IN IT.
I'M NOT RUBBING
YOUR NOSE IN ANYTHING.
BUT AFTER YOU LEFT...
[INHALES]
I HAD A WONDERFUL TIME.
I LAUGHED.
I DANCED.
IT FELT GOOD.
YOU COULDN'T DO THAT
BEFORE I LEFT?
ALL I KNOW IS...
FROM THE MOMENT I WALKED
AWAY FROM WORK THIS MORNING...
TRITE NOW.
EVERY MOMENT
I'VE HAD ALONE...
I'VE BEEN HAPPY.
SOUNDS AS IF YOU
DON'T MEAN ALONE.
YOU MEAN
WITHOUT ME.
PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME
THE HEAVY, FRANK.
[INHALES]
I'M NOT THE HEAVY.
BUT, YES.
I LOVE YOU, PIZZA MAN.
I JUST NEED SOME
TIME BY MYSELF.
WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
I'M TALKING ABOUT OUR LIVES.
I'M TALKING ABOUT THIS...
DAY IN AND DAY OUT, MAYHEM.
THIS WORLD THAT'S
GOT NO UPSIDE.
AS FAR AS
I CAN SEE, ANYWAY.
THAT WE WORK IN.
WE BRING HOME.
YOU MEAN OUR JOBS
OR OUR LIFE TOGETHER?
DON'T YOU SEE HOW
INTERTWINED THEY'VE GOTTEN?
I'VE KNOWN YOU
FIVE YEARS, FRANK.
WE HAVEN'T TAKEN MORE THAN
A LONG WEEKEND'S VACATION.
LOOK AT TONIGHT.
JOYCE, THEY'RE RUNNING WILD
THEY'RE KILLING EACH OTHER.
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?
SAY...
"EXCUSE ME, I HAVE
A DRESS BALL TO GO TO?"

NO MONEY, AND MOST IMPORTANT,
NO HOPE FOR
HER CHILD'S FUTURE.
YOU KNOW THAT THE TAX MONEY
SPENT ON ONE OF YOUR WIVES'
PLANE TICKETS COULD FEED
THEM BOTH FOR MONTHS.
MA'AM, YOU'RE
ENTIRELY OUT OF ORDER.
YOU HAVE USED UP
YOUR ALLOTMENT OF TIME.
I DON'T CARE!

YOU LET GENERAL CUSTER HERE

IT HAPPENS.
OKAY, THANKS.
THAT'S ALL.
THANK YOU.
I APPRECIATE THAT, FRANK.
MR. MAYOR, I HAVE
TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.
I THINK YOU HAVE
A PROBLEM WITH PEABODY.
FRANK, WE BOTH KNOW
THIS KID'S BACKGROUND.
HE'S COME A LONG WAY.
I WANNA GIVE HIM THE SHOT.
I'D LIKE TO SEE HIM WORK OUT.
SO WOULD I, BUT
IN THE MEAN TIME,
HIS TEMPER ASIDE,
I KEEP HEARING
ALLEGATIONS OF CORRUPTION.
HE'S HIRING ONLY
MEMBERS OF HIS OWN GANG.
WILL YOU CHECK
THAT OUT FOR ME?
WE'RE DOING THAT.
HOW ARE YOU DOING
ON THE TREATY RENEWAL?
WE'RE TRYING.
I NOTICED A BUMP
IN INCIDENTS.
ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN
THEY'RE ABOUT TO EXPIRE.
CAN I TAKE
PEABODY WITH ME?
YEAH. WE SHOULD BE
RELEASING HIM SOON.
THANKS, FRANK.
SINCE WHEN DO YOU PEOPLE MOVE
ON A PLACE WITHOUT NOTIFYING US?
I COULD ASK YOU
THE SAME QUESTION.
THERE'S A SLIGHT
DIFFERENCE.
NOT ONLY DID YOU
COMPROMISE AN OPERATION,
YOU PUT OFFICERS
AT RISK.
WHICH WOULDN'T
HAVE HAPPENED
IF I'D KNOWN
-THE GUYS WERE IN THERE--
-BUT YOU WOULD'VE KNOWN
HAD YOU BOTHERED TO CHECK.
OKAY. SO THE LEFT HAND
OUGHTA KNOW WHAT
THE RIGHT HAND IS DOING.
AND MAYBE THAT
WOULD BE THE CASE,
IF IT WASN'T FOR THE FACT
THAT THE LEFT HAND HAS BEEN
KNOWN TO DIP INTO
THE WRONG POCKETS.
I SUPPOSE, TO THE SPOTLESS
RECORD OF YOUR DEPARTMENT.
OKAY.
SO, NOW WE BOTH SEE HOW
THE SITUATION COULD HAPPEN.
LET'S GET ONE THING STRAIGHT.
THIS ISN'T JERRY FUCHS
YOU'RE DEALING WITH NOW.
WHATEVER HAPPENED
BEFORE IS HISTORY.
I DON'T WANNA HAVE
OUR PEOPLE JEOPARDIZED
-BECAUSE OF IT.
-OKAY, I HEAR YOU.
I STILL HAVE PEOPLE OUT THERE,
AND I DON'T WANT YOU ANYWHERE
NEAR THEM. IN FACT,
I WANNA KNOW EVERY MOVE
-YOU MAKE FROM HERE ON OUT.
-OKAY! ALL RIGHT.
SORRY ABOUT THE MIX UP.
FRIENDLY CROWD,
UP HERE.
SEE YOU LATER.
MR. BRANDON, I'M TRYING
TO GET UP TO SPEED ON WHAT--
YOU'RE TRYING
TO GET UP TO SPEED?
I GET APPROACHED BY
SOME MUSCLE GUYS,
AND I COME TO YOU PEOPLE,
AND I WIND UP CLOSED.
AND MY LICENSE IS GONE.
MY BEST UNDERSTANDING
IS THAT THE STATE
LIQUOR AUTHORITY WAS UNAWARE
THAT WE HAD AN UNDERCOVER.
WHY DON'T ALL YOU PEOPLE
SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE?
DON'T YOU ALL TALK BRIBE?
NOW, LOOK!
WE'RE GONNA DO
THE BEST WE CAN
TO GET YOU OPEN
AS FAST AS WE CAN.
GREAT! AND WHO'S GONNA PUT
FOOD ON MY TABLE MEANTIME,
-AND PAY MY BILLS.
-I'M REALLY VERY
SORRY ABOUT THAT.
BUT I CAN PROMISE YOU,
WE'RE GONNA TRY TO
STRAIGHTEN IT OUT.
THAT'S IT?
YOU'RE GONNA TRY.
THAT'S IT!
I'LL KEEP YOU POSTED.
LET'S GO
BE A CITIZEN!
THAT GUY'S REALLY
GETTING A BUM SHAKE.
NO ARGUMENT,
MICK.
IS YOUR COVER AHOLD?
YEAH, I THINK SO.
HOW DID YOU
LEAVE IT WITH THEM?
I'M SUPPOSED TO GO TO THIS
OTHER JOINT, THIS AFTERNOON.
EXCUSE ME, NEAL.
NEAL, CAN I TALK
TO YOU FOR A SEC?
YEAH, SURE. I'LL TALK WITH
YOU LATER, CHERRY, OKAY?
ALL RIGHT, I PULLED
ALL THE PAPERS.
NOW, THIS FLOYD'S
A CLEAN FAMILY GUY.
AND THE LIQUOR STORE
CLERK IS A BUM.
HEY, LOOK, YOU HAVEN'T EVEN
TALKED TO THE GUY, HARRY!
RIGHT! HE DIDN'T CALL.
NOW, I'M TELLIN' YOU
HIS OWN UNCLE THINKS
HE'S A TOTAL BUM.
FROM THE DESCRIPTION,
HE SOUNDS LIKE A DRUGGIE.
LOOK, I'M GONNA
RUN HIS P.C.I.
HARRY, CAPTAIN WANTS
TO SEE YOU RIGHT AWAY.
NATALIE, I'VE BEEN
WORKIN' ON THE POEM.
DO YOU WANNA HEAR
THE NEW VERSION?
DO I HAVE TO?
I REALLY PUNCHED IT UP.
LEO, LOOK, I REALLY HATE
SAYIN' THIS, YOU KNOW?
BUT I THINK YOU'RE
KIDDING YOURSELF.
YOUR WIFE BOUGHT
A TICKET TO VEGAS,
AND IT WAS ONE-WAY.
YEAH.
I MEAN, YOU OUGHTA GET
ON WITH YOUR OWN LIFE.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU DO
AT NIGHT?
I DON'T KNOW.
GOT MY DICE
BASEBALL SET.
YEAH?
YEAH, THERE'S A HOT
PENNANT RACE ON.
SO, THAT'S A PLUS.
YOU EVER PLAY IN
AN AWAY GAME?
WHAT?
WHY DON'T YOU PLAY AT
MY BALLPARK TOMORROW?
YOU LIKE
CHICKEN IN A POT?
IT'S ONLY LEFTOVERS, BUT--
IT'S BETTER
THE SECOND TIME.
LEO!
I'M PULLING
THE DUTY LIST.
THERE'S SHOTS FIRED DOWN
AT THAT JOB CORPS STOREFRONT.
YEAH, SURE.
YES, THE COURT CALLED.
YES, HE'S ANGRY.
CLAIMS YOU'RE TRYIN'
TO GET HIM FIRED.
-NOT TRUE, CAPTAIN.
-WHAT WERE YOU DOING THERE?
AN ONGOING
INVESTIGATION--
YOUR ONGOING
INVESTIGATION?
I ALSO RECEIVED A CALL FROM
O'MALLEY ON THE NIGHT SHIFT.
HE CLAIMS YOU'RE TRYING
TO MIX IN ON HIS CASE.
YEAH, WELL, IF HE'D DONE
SOME POLICE WORK ON IT,
THEN I WOULDN'T HAVE TO.
YEAH, I SPOKE TO O'MALLEY.
I DIDN'T GO BEHIND HIS BACK.
AND HE TOLD YOU,
POLITELY, TO BACK OFF.
WELL, I'M TELLIN' IT
A LITTLE LESS POLITELY.
WHAT HAPPENED THIS MORNING
BETWEEN YOU AND THE DEFENDANT,
FLOYD JOYNER?
HAD A LITTLE
FENDER BENDER.
MY INSURANCE
WAS EXPIRED.
PUTTING ASIDE THAT
THAT'S A V.T.L. MISDEMEANOR,
HOW THE HELL DO YOU THINK
IT LOOKS WITH YOU OUT THERE,
TRYING TO CLEAR
THE GUY OF A RAP?
WHAT'S NEXT? PLEA BARGAINING
HOOKERS IN THE BACKSEAT?
WAIT. THERE'S NO DEAL BETWEEN
ME AND MR. JOYNER, CAPTAIN.
I THINK THAT
THE MAN IS INNOCENT.
I SAY THERE IS A DEAL,
WHETHER YOU AGREE TO IT
IN WORDS OR NOT.
STAY AWAY FROM IT.
-THE MAN IS INNOCENT--
-STAY AWAY!
[SIRENS BLARING]
[SCREECHING]
HEY!
HE'S GOT A GUN!
HE'S CRAZY!
LACUNO, WHAT HAPPENED?
THIS PUNK KID
COMES IN AND SAYS
HE HAD AN APPOINTMENT
TO SEE MARCUS.
-MARCUS PEABODY?
-RIGHT.
-BUT WHO'S THE KID?
-DIABLO, THAT CRAZY FREAK
THAT JUMPED HIM
THIS MORNING.
I KNEW SOMETHIN' WAS
WRONG WITH THAT DUDE.
I KNEW SOMETHIN'
WAS WRONG.
MARCUS DIDN'T LET HIM IN,
THOUGH, YOU KNOW?
SO, HE GOES IN.
-STARTS SHOUTIN'.
-YEAH, UNIT 2203...
WE HAVE A HOSTAGE SITUATION
AT THE YOUTH CORPS JOB CENTER.
THE DIABLO KID
HAS MARCUS PEABODY.
[ERNESTO]
HEY! YOU TELL
JESUS MARTINEZ, IF HE DON'T
WANNA TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS,
I'M GONNA DO IT!
DO YOU HEAR ME?
I'LL KILL HIM!
SOMEBODY BETTER GET
MARTINEZ IN HERE.
I'M TAKIN' CARE
OF BUSINESS!
IS IT MANAGEABLE
IN TERMS OF BACK-UPS, HENRY?
SEEMS TO BE
FOR NOW.
ALL RIGHT, THEN. HOWARD SHOULD
BE THERE IN ABOUT 20 MINUTES.
ANY KIND OF BREAK, FRANK.
I THINK WE'RE GONNA
GET THE KID OUT.
SERGEANT.
-SERGEANT.
-IRWIN. JUDGE WACHTEL.
WHAT'S THE CEREMONY, FRANK?
YOU CALL ME ALAN.
THIS IS GONNA
SHOCK YOU, FRANK.
WE HAVE BEEN HAVING
COMMUNICATIONS PROBLEMS
-AMONG THE ENFORCEMENT ARMS.
-MORE?
I-- MORE THAN THE S.L.A. FOUL UP
AT YOUR UNDER COVER BAR?
[INHALES]
NO.
I GUESS YOU COULD TAKE THIS
AS ALL PART OF SAME FOUL UP.
WE HAVE BEEN MOVING
ON LESTER FRANCO.
THE ONE PRODUCTIVE FACT
THAT CAME OUT OF
A SHOUTING SESSION I HAD
WITH THOSE S.L.A. PEOPLE
THIS AFTERNOON, WAS THAT
YOU ALSO HAVE BEEN MOVING
-IN ON LESTER FRANCO.
-DAMN IT, IRWIN.
THIS KIND OF CRAP
IS NOT FUNNY.
I HAVE MEN
OUT THERE AT RISK.
FRANCO APPROACHED WACHTEL
TO TOSS THE SOUTH FERRY BUST
-ON THESE VIDEO POKER GAMES.
-WHATEVER THEY EXPECTED, FRANK,
BASED ON HEAVEN KNOWS
WHAT PAST HISTORY,
DOROTHY WACHTEL DID NOT
RAISE A CORRUPT JURIST.
ALAN HAD AGREED TO WEAR
A WIRE ON THESE GUYS.
WE HAD ARRANGED A MEETING FOR
TONIGHT AT THE LUCKY DUKES.
SO HELP ME, I THINK I'M
BECOMING AN EXCITEMENT JUNKIE.
THIS SHOULD'VE BEEN
COORDINATED EARLIER, FRANK.
WE ARE TRYING
TO COORDINATE NOW.
WE HAVE MOVED THE LIQUOR
AUTHORITY'S PROCEEDING
ONTO ALAN'S DOCKET.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
WE'RE NOT GOING TO BUMP
INTO ANYTHING OF YOURS.
I'LL CALL YOU AT
THE END OF BUSINESS.
HEY, LET'S NOT COP
AN ATTITUDE, FRANK!
I'M THE ONE THAT'S GOIN'
ON TO THE FRONT LINES.
I'M HAVING BELKER
INVENTORY HIS COVER.
-I'LL CALL YOU WHEN I KNOW.
-FINE. GOOD.
[SIGHS]
I'M SORRY.
I'M SORRY, FRANK. I R--
I REALLY AM. I'M--
I'M-I'M SURE BELKER'S
PLAYIN' HARDBALL TOO.
-ALAN.
-HEY! WE'RE ALL ON
THE FRONT LINES.
JUDGE!
NEAL!
NEAL, LOOK AT THE P.C.I.
ON THE LIQUOR STORE CLERK.
I'VE GOT NEWHAVEN,
CONNECTICUT.
LARCENY, ONE.
HE COPPED TO THE MIS.
DOPE, HEROIN,
ANOTHER LARCENY, ONE,
ALL DISMISSED.
CALL NEW HAVEN
AND SEE WHAT IT WAS?
-NOT YET.
-AW, HARRY!
SIT DOWN, MAN.
NOW, YOU DO MENDOZA, OKAY?
[MICK]
IT'S A NICE PLACE.
HOW COME
IT'S NOT OPEN?
WELL, WE DON'T LIKE
TO STAY OPEN TOO LONG, MIKE.
FOUR HOURS A NIGHT.
I USE IT MORE LIKE
AN OFFICE, MIKE.
WE'VE BEEN HERE NOW
FOR MORE THAN 16 YEARS.
-GIMME A SEVEN AND SEVEN,
WOULD YOU?
-COMING RIGHT UP.
THIS ONE, THE LIQUOR
AUTHORITY DON'T CLOSE.
YOU HAD NO INKLING
THEY WERE AFTER YOU?
NONE, WHATSOEVER.
BECAUSE USUALLY YOU CAN
SMELL SOMETHING LIKE THAT
IN THE WIND.
WHATEVER.
STEP INTO MY OFFICE.
YOU KNOW, WE THINK WE CAN
OPEN YOU UP AGAIN PRETTY QUICK.
[CHUCKLES]
HOW YOU GONNA DO THAT?
SOMETHING WITH
THE JUDICIARY.
IN THE MEANTIME, WE WANT
YOU TO GET WELL AGAIN.
WE WANT TO PUT
YOUR MONEY TO WORK.
GOOD. GOOD.
'CAUSE I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU
FIGURED I WAS BAD LUCK.
THERE'S NO SUCH THING
AS THAT, MICHAEL.
I DON'T BELIEVE IN IT.
WE PROVIDE YOU
WITH APPLICANTS,
AND COLLECTION
ASSISTANTS.
WE MAKE LOANS
UP TO TEN G'S.
YOU GIVE US
THREE POINTS A MONTH.
ANYTHING OVER THAT,
YOU PAY US TWO AND A HALF.
I DON'T NEED ANY HELP
WITH COLLECTIONS.
TOUGH GUY.
SUPPOSE YOU GET
A POSTCARD FROM FLORIDA.
YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
YOU CAN NEVER HAVE
TOO MUCH HELP, MICHAEL.
YOU CAN NEVER BE
TOO WELL CONNECTED.
I'M IN.
ATTABOY.
HEY, HEY, HEY! SORRY.
JUST ABOUT TO CLOSE
FOR A FEW MINUTES.
LET'S CLOSE THEN.
HEY, NO.
SERIOUSLY.
SAMMY MORSE, RIGHT?
WHO, UH...
WANTS TO KNOW?
GOT A FEW QUESTIONS.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
YOU GOT A COLD, SAMMY?
AW, MAN. I TALKED TO YOU GUYS
A HUNDRED TIMES ALREADY.
EVER BEEN
TO NEW HAVEN, SAMMY?
SEE, WE MADE A FEW CALLS
TO NEW HAVEN COPS.
FOUND OUT YOU WORKED
IN A LIQUOR STORE, RIGHT?
-WA-WAIT A MINUTE.
-ABOUT THIS LARCENY BIT,
IS THAT RIGHT, WHAT THEY
SAY YOU WERE DOING, SAMMY?
SKIMMIN' THE TILL
LIKE THAT.
-HEY, I WASN'T--
-YEAH, CLAIMED THAT
SOMEBODY KEPT
HOLDIN' YOU UP.
-NO, I--
-BOTH TIMES THEY FOUND
THE CASH IN YOUR CAR.
SIX MONTHS LATER, YOU GET BUSTED
ON THE SAME SHOT IN ALBANY.
-HEY, I GOT MY RIGHTS--
-ONLY COST YOU
THREE MONTHS, MAN.
BUT NOW YOU'RE
DOIN' IT HERE, SAM.
AND IT'S YOUR
THIRD TIME AROUND TOO.
YOU KNOW, YOU COULD GO AWAY FOR
A PRETTY GOOD STRETCH, MY MAN?
[BELL RINGS]
HEY, SAMMY.
HEY!
TEDDY, WHAT'S
HAPPENIN', MAN?
HEY. HEY. EY, I WAS JUST
LOOKIN' TO GET THE--
OH, NO GOOD BRO.
HEY, WHAT'S A MATTER?
YOU DEALIN' FOR SAMMY?
HEY, DON'T GET NERVOUS, SAMMY.
JUST PUT YOUR HANDS ON
THE COUNTER. YOU TOO, MAN.
OH, MAN! THIS IS LAME!
BOOZE IS LEGAL.
OOH, LOOK IT HERE.
-LOOK A HERE, MY MAN.
-AW, MAN.
UH-HUH. PRETTY EXPENSIVE
HABIT YOU GOT HERE, SAMMY.
YOU HAVE TO DIG PRETTY DEEP
IN YOUR POCKET, DON'T YOU?
YOU HAVE TO DIP INTO
YOUR UNCLE'S POCKET TOO,
AIN'T THAT RIGHT?
-YEAH.
-WHAT'S THAT?
-CAN'T HEAR YOU, SAMMY.
-YEAH! YEAH! I SAID, "YEAH!"
UH-HUH.
NO STICK UP, RIGHT?
JUST SAMMY, PICKIN' UP
THE TAB FOR HIS JONES.
PUT YOUR HEAD BACK DOWN
ON THE COUNTER.
YOU TOO, CHUMP.
YOU LOOK
PRETTY TIRED TO ME.
LISTEN, 'NESTO.
YOU DO THE RIGHT THING, BRO.
THAT'S RIGHT. THEY'LL BE
OTHER DAYS BETTER THAN THIS.
YOUR GRIEVANCES HAVE
BEEN HEARD, ERNESTO.
I PROMISE YOU,
SOMETHING'S GONNA BE DONE
ABOUT YOUR SITUATION.
NOBODY HAS TO GET HURT.
NO! NO MORE DAMAGE.
STATUS?
HENRY'S GOT THE KID'S POSITION.
HIS ADRENALINE
IS RUNNING DRY.
WE CAN GET HIM OUT, FRANK.
HOW'S PEABODY?
HE'S ALL RIGHT.
WE CAN HEAR HIM.
WHO'S THE CHUMP?
UH, ERNESTO MONTE BLANCO.
HE'S A DIABLO.
PICKED AT HIM THIS MORNING.
KID TOOK A SWING AT HIM.
...
HENRY?
YOU GOT FRIENDS OUT HERE.
HE WANT ANYTHING SPECIFIC?
HIS DIGNITY BACK.
THAT'S RIGHT.
ERNESTO, ARE YOU READY TO DO
WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT NOW?
[MAYOR]
DID MARCUS PROVOKE
THIS IN ANY WAY?
NOT THAT WE KNOW OF.
THE IMPRESSION IS
PEABODY'S STANDING
HIM DOWN.
[SIREN WINDS DOWN]
HE'S PUTTING IT DOWN.
HE'S COMING OUT.
[BULLETS FIRING]
[MAN SCREAMING]
IT'S ALL RIGHT,
DON'T SHOOT!
ALL RIGHT.
IT'S COOL.
IT'S COOL!
CHUMP MADE
A MISTAKE.
-HOWARD.
-VALENTINE!
COPY, DAVIS!
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
[SIRENS BLARING]
[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]
GET HIM THE HELL
OUT OF HERE.
HE'S FINISHED.
GET ME THE HELL
OUT OF HERE TOO.
YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT,
I TOOK THE CHANCE, MAN!
HE ALREADY FIRED
ON ME TWICE.
WAIT A SEC!
WAIT A SEC.
HADN'T HE INDICATED
HE WAS ABOUT TO SURRENDER?
HEY, MAN. LOOK,
I'M NO MIND READER.
THE KID HAD
A PIECE ON ME.
MY UNDERSTANDING WAS
HE'D LOWERED THE GUN!
HEY, LOOK, I SELF-DEFENDED
MYSELF, ALL RIGHT?
ANYTHING WRONG
WITH THAT?
NOW, I WAIT FOR YOU,
AND MAYBE YOU TALK HIM
INTO THIS OR THAT.
OR MAYBE I'M DEAD.
THERE WAS A STRUGGLE,
AND THE GUN WENT OFF!
PERJURY. FILING
A FALSE POLICE REPORT.
POSSESSION WITH
INTENT TO SELL.
UH-UH, THIS WAY,
GENTLEMEN.
NEAL!
CAPTAIN WANTS
TO SEE YOU.
OKAY, LIEUTENANT.
HOWARD?
WHAT'S WRONG, HOWARD?
I HAVE JUST HEARD
THAT THE EQUINE RAPID
DEVELOPMENT FORCE
HAS BEEN FILLED
BY THE BUDGET ACTS.
WELL, I'M SORRY.
BY HEAVENS, RAYMUNDO,
AM I TO BE MASTERED
BY THESE BLUE-PENCILED,
WHEELING, MEALY MINDS?
MUST MY JOY HAVE
OCCUPATIONAL SANCTION?
[SCOFFS]
LIFE IS TOO SHORT.
JOY TOO SELDOM
TO COME BY.
APOLLO'S DEAD.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND,
HOWARD.
[SIGHS]
APOLLO.
-WHAT IS APOLLO?
-APOLLO! APOLLO, MY HORSE.
IF THE CITY COUNCIL
DOESN'T WANT HIM,
I DO. AND
I'M GONNA KEEP HIM.
YEAH, WELL, THE HELL
WITH YOU, YOUR HONOR!
WHERE'S FURILLO?
HEY, FORGET IT, MARCUS.
I WANT FURILLO.
YOU'RE NOT GETTIN' HIM
SO JUST LIGHTEN UP.
HE TOOK MY JOB, MAN.
HE SHUFFLED ME OUT.
YEAH, BECAUSE YOU
KILLED THAT KID, HUH?
HEY!
-KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF ME!
-NO, MARCUS!
NO, MARC--
NO MORE TEMPER!
[GRUNTS]
GET OFF OF ME!
I GOT HIM.
I GOT HIM.
-GET OFF ME MAN!
-I GOT HIM! I'LL TAKE CARE!
WOULD YOU
LIGHTEN UP, MARCUS.
YOU LIGHTEN UP, OR YOUR HEAD
IS BUSTED, AND YOU'RE GONE.
[HEAVY BREATHING]
TOM.
WHATEVER YOU SAY.
WHATEVER YOU WANT.
YOU JUST DON'T GET YOURSELF
JAMMED, UNDERSTAND?
I MEAN, YOU KNOW
THE MAN TOOK MY JOB.
I JUST TALKED TO THAT TOM
MAYOR, ON THE PHONE, MAN.
HE ALREADY
TOOK MY JOB.
AND YOU TALK ABOUT
JAMMIN' ME UP.
OKAY, WELL,
I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT.
WILL YOU RELAX?
-TAKE A DEEP--
-I WAS-- I WAS
DEFENDIN' MYSELF.
YEAH, TAKE IT EASY.
ALL RIGHT.
FURILLO!
YOU SATISFIED, MAN, HUH?
IS THAT WHAT YOU WANTED?
WHAT'D YOU TELL HIM, HUH?
YOU TELL HIM
"PEABODY'S TOO STREET?"
-MARCUS! MARCUS!
-PEABODY CAN'T
KEEP CONTROL, HUH?
MARCUS.
LISTEN TO ME.
YOU ALREADY MADE
TWO MISTAKES TODAY.
NOW YOU CAN'T--
WIN THIS ONE!
YOU CAN'T WIN, MAN.
NOT NOW!
YOU JUST
MOVE ON.
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?
MOVE ON!
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, MAN.
I WAS TRYIN'
TO HELP.
UNDERSTAND YOU
MADE A SMART BUST.
YEAH.
THANK YOU, SIR.
NOW GIVE ME 30 SECONDS
ON WHY I SHOULDN'T
TRANSFER GARIBALDI.
I DON'T KNOW, CAPTAIN.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD.
WHAT'S THE COUNTS?
BECAUSE HE DOESN'T LISTEN.
BECAUSE HE HANDLES
HIMSELF LIKE A KID.
AND BECAUSE, MAYBE,
HE GETS HIS PARTNER
CAUGHT IN THE SWITCHES.
ABOUT THAT LIQUOR STORE
THING, CAPTAIN...
I WENT BACK THERE
ON MY OWN HOOK.
DID SOME CALLIN', DECIDED
HIS COMPLACENCE WAS BAD.
BY THE WAY,
I CHECKED WITH O'MALLEY,
AND THAT GUY?
HE WAS COOL, ONCE
I LAID IT OUT FOR HIM.
OKAY,
I'LL KEEP HIM.
HARRY'S OKAY, CAPTAIN.
MAYBE HE GETS A LITTLE
CUTE SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW?
BUT...
HE'S GOTTA GET TAUGHT.
IT'LL BE YOUR JOB
'TIL JD GETS BACK.
I'LL TRY, CAPTAIN.
YOU KNOW?
GOOD.
'CAUSE I LIKE HARRY, NEAL.
I THINK HE'S
A BRIGHT, CONCERNED GUY.
BUT HE REAR-ENDED A CITIZEN.
HIS INSURANCE IS EXPIRED.
A WHOLE DAY'S GONE BY, AND
IT'S PROBABLY STILL EXPIRED.
I HEAR YA, CAPTAIN.
MISS DAVENPORT.
LOOKING GOOD.
HERE.
PUT THIS ON.
-WHAT IS IT?
-TUXEDO.
-WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL DAY?
-NEVER MIND WHERE I'VE BEEN.
THIS IS FOR THE
SUMMER LOVE BENEFIT.
REMEMBER?
THE NEED OF CHILDREN,
WHO HAVE TO GO
TO SUMMER CAMP?
I THOUGHT THE DEAL WAS
I'D BUY THE TICKETS
IF WE DIDN'T
HAVE TO GO.
WELL, WE DECIDED TO GO.
WE DID?
[CHUCKLES]
I'M SORRY, FRANK.
I MEAN, I KNOW I TOOK
THE LIBERTIES, BUT
I JUST FELT
LIKE DANCING.
YOU REALLY MIND?
NO, IT'S OKAY.
SERIOUSLY?
JO, IT'S ALL RIGHT.
WE CAN STOP AT MURPHY'S ON
THE WAY BACK AND GET A BURGER?
[LAUGHS]
YOU GOT IT.
WE CAN STOP AT MURPHY'S ON
THE WAY OVER AND GET A BURGER?
-FORGET THAT.
-CAN WE STOP AT MURPHY'S--
GO ON!
GO CHANGE.
OKAY.
NOW, YOU LOOK HERE, SUCKA.
I'VE DONE TOO MUCH
COVERIN' IN MY TIME.
SO, IF YOU GONNA
MAKE IT UP HERE,
YOU GONNA MAKE IT FAST,
YOU DIG IT?
HARRY.
NEAL.
-CAPTAIN.
-CAPTAIN.
KEN AND BARBIE.
[LAUGHS]
YOU FUNNY DUDE,
YOU KNOW THAT?
PEOPLE LIKE YOU.
I LIKE YOU.
BUT YOU COULD GO
EITHER WAY, HARRY,
AND EVERYBODY UP HERE
KNOWS IT, MAN.
♪♪ [CLASSICAL MUSIC]
I'VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING
LIKE THAT BEFORE.
MY SISTER CRIED.
I DROVE TO THE SHORE.

A ROW BOAT.
AND I HAD LUNCH IN THIS--
IN THIS LITTLE OUTDOOR CAFE.
IT WAS WONDERFUL, FRANK.
I DIDN'T THINK
ABOUT COURTROOMS,
OR SQUAD ROOMS
ALL DAY.
GOOD FOR YOU, JOYCE.
[LAUGHS]
THANK YOU, IRWIN.
IRWIN.

YOU'RE ALSO
WEARING A WIG.
WELL, THEY'LL

NO.
I GET CARRIED AWAY
WHEN I BET.

I START TO BUILD

MR. FRANKLIN, DOES THIS MAN
LOOK LIKE A HEAD DOCTOR?
I'M JUST SAYIN', OKAY?
SO, THE BOOKIE
LETS ME PLAY, MAN.
HE LETS ME GO TO
A THOUSAND A GAME.
DOES THIS MAN
LOOK LIKE
YOUR BOOKMAKER,
MR. FRANKLIN?
I NEED THREE THOUSAND.
AND I CAN PAY IT BACK
I CAN PAY IT BACK TO YA
IN-IN ABOUT SIX WEEKS.
THAT'LL HAPPEN
WHEN IT HAPPENS.
THE ONLY THING
THIS MAN HAS GOT TO KNOW,
THAT EVERY MONDAY,
UNTIL IT'S PAID UP,
YOU'RE HERE
WITH AN ENVELOPE,
WITH EITHER MYSELF
OR JOEY DESOTO.
HEY, HEY. WHAT TIME DO YOU
WANT ME HERE, MONDAY?
EXCUSE ME.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
NATURE CALLS.
HAS IT OCCURRED TO YOU
YOU'RE FRISKING A JUDGE?
I GOT MY INSTRUCTIONS,
YOUR HONOR.
-HEY!
-HEY, MIKE.
WHAT KINDA MICKEY MOUSE
IS THIS, HUH?
ANYBODY COULD
WALK IN HERE.
MR. FRANCO SAID
"SEARCH HIM."
OH, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
SEARCH HIM OR KISS HIM?
GET THE DOORJAMB.
GO ON. GO ON!
I'M WARNING YOU.
I'M TICKLISH.
[GRITTING HIS TEETH]
I KNOW.
[SIREN BLARING]
TWO DEAD. FIVE WOUNDED,
ONE CRITICALLY.
-BYSTANDER.
-WHO STARTED IT?
THEY CAME IN TO PAY BACK
THE BLOOD ABOUT...
20 DIABLOS
IN FOUR CARS.
THE BLOOD WERE EXPECTING
TO AMBUSH HIM HERE.
FIRST GUNFIRE,
THEN HAND-TO-HAND
IN THE STREET.
DIABLOS GOT MESSED UP
PRETTY BADLY, YOU KNOW?
HEY, WE GOT HIM, MAN!
WE KILLED HIM!
THEY DRAGGED HIM AWAY!
THE TYRANTS,
BLOOD TOOK OFF.
WHERE'S JESUS?
NOBODY KNOWS.
THEY SAY HE WASN'T
ANY PART OF IT.
HERE'S A PIECE OF NEWS.
MARCUS PEABODY WAS
WITH THE BLOOD.
THREE WITNESSES SAW.
ALL RIGHT.
A.P.B. ON PEABODY.
EVERYBODY ON THE NIGHT SHIFT
OUT ON THE STREET.
I'M GONNA KILL HIM, MAN!
[SHOUTS]
YOU GET HIM
OUT OF HERE!
HI.
HI.
IT'S A QUARTER TO TWO.
NO ONE IN THE PLACE.
JUST ME AND YOU.
JOYCE.
DON'T JOYCE ME.
YOU LEFT.
AFTER YOU LEFT,
I HAD A WONDERFUL TIME.
GREAT.
RUB MY NOSE IN IT.
I'M NOT RUBBING
YOUR NOSE IN ANYTHING.
BUT AFTER YOU LEFT...
[INHALES]
I HAD A WONDERFUL TIME.
I LAUGHED.
I DANCED.
IT FELT GOOD.
YOU COULDN'T DO THAT
BEFORE I LEFT?
ALL I KNOW IS...
FROM THE MOMENT I WALKED
AWAY FROM WORK THIS MORNING...
TRITE NOW.
EVERY MOMENT
I'VE HAD ALONE...
I'VE BEEN HAPPY.
SOUNDS AS IF YOU
DON'T MEAN ALONE.
YOU MEAN
WITHOUT ME.
PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME
THE HEAVY, FRANK.
[INHALES]
I'M NOT THE HEAVY.
BUT, YES.
I LOVE YOU, PIZZA MAN.
I JUST NEED SOME
TIME BY MYSELF.
WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
I'M TALKING ABOUT OUR LIVES.
I'M TALKING ABOUT THIS...
DAY IN AND DAY OUT, MAYHEM.
THIS WORLD THAT'S
GOT NO UPSIDE.
AS FAR AS
I CAN SEE, ANYWAY.
THAT WE WORK IN.
WE BRING HOME.
YOU MEAN OUR JOBS
OR OUR LIFE TOGETHER?
DON'T YOU SEE HOW
INTERTWINED THEY'VE GOTTEN?
I'VE KNOWN YOU
FIVE YEARS, FRANK.
WE HAVEN'T TAKEN MORE THAN
A LONG WEEKEND'S VACATION.
LOOK AT TONIGHT.
JOYCE, THEY'RE RUNNING WILD
THEY'RE KILLING EACH OTHER.
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?
SAY...
"EXCUSE ME, I HAVE
A DRESS BALL TO GO TO?"
I'M NOT SAYING YOU
SHOULDN'T HAVE GONE.
I UNDERSTAND
YOUR PRIORITIES.
IT'S JUST THAT I--
I CAN'T TAKE IT, RIGHT NOW.
I NEED A BREAK.
WHAT IF WE
TOOK A VACATION?
[LAUGHS]
YOU KNOW HOW--
[SNIFFLES]
YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT
AND NEVER TAKEN IT.
WHAT DO YOU
REALLY WANT?
[SNIFFLES]
[EXHALES]
I WANT YOU NOT TO
HATE ME FOR SAYING THIS.
I NEED A COUPLE
OF WEEKS...OFF.
MINIMUM.
I NEED...
[SIGHS]
TO BE ABLE
TO COME HOME ME.
AND ONLY ME.
[TAKES DEEP BREATH]
I NEED FOR US
TO BE SEPARATE.
LIKE THE OLD DAYS.
I GUESS THAT'S WHAT
WE'LL HAVE TO DO.
I FEEL HORRIBLE
ABOUT THIS, FRANK,
BUT I CAN'T.
[TAKES DEEP BREATH]
I HAVE TO KNOW WHAT
I'M REALLY FEELING.
I THINK
WE BOTH DO.
