NATALIE.
THERE'S FIVE DIFFERENT CONTRACTS
OUT ON ME, NATALIE.
BUT YOU KNOW
WHY I FEAR NO EVIL?
'CAUSE I GOT A PERSONAL
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD.
LET ME TELL YOU, JIMMY FISHER
HAD IT ALL.
BEAUTIFUL HOUSE, NICE CARS,
BEAUTIFUL WOMEN, BUT EVEN WHEN I
WAS A SPIRITUAL PERSON, IT
DIDN'T MAKE ME HAPPY, YOU KNOW
- WHAT I'M SAYING?
- I GUESS.
I SAID TO MYSELF, WHAT IS ALL
THIS STUFF, THIS WEALTH,
THIS FANTASTIC LUXURY?
I MEAN, TO THE WHOLE WORLD,
I WAS A BIG SHOT.
I WAS JIMMY FISHER.
BUT INSIDE, I WAS A BUM.
THE BIBLE SAYS THEY HAVE EARS,
BUT HEAR NOT.
THAT WAS ME.
GOD TURNED YOU AROUND?
WHAT TURNED ME AROUND WAS I
FOUND OUT THE FEDS HAD ME
WIRETAPPED FOR 10 MONTHS.
MY CHAUFFEUR
WAS AN UNDERCOVER AGENT.
THEN AFTER THE SCARBALONES
HAD A HIT OUT ON ME,
IT WAS LIKE TWO HALVES
OF THE SCISSORS CLOSING SHUT.
AND THEN THE SAVIOR CAME
INTO MY LIFE.
HE LIFTED ME
OUT OF MY DESPAIR.
I CONFESSED ALL MY
SINS TO HIM.
THE MONDALVI KILLINGS, STUFF THE
FEDS DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT.
AND HE UNDERSTOOD.
SO YOUR SINS BE AS SCARLET,
THEY SHALL BE WHITE AS SNOW.
AND THAT'S WHEN YOU DECIDED
TO SQUEAL?
I SAID TO MYSELF, I'LL TAKE MY
CHANCES WITH THE SCARBALONES
AND THOSE OTHER GUYS.
BUT I WANT TO BE AT PEACE WITH
THE MAN UPSTAIRS.
YEAH, WELL,
I GOTTA GO NOW, MR. FISHER.
I'LL COME BACK AND GET
YOUR TRAY LATER.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO STAY AROUND A
WHILE AND READ THE GOOD BOOK
WITH ME?
MAYBE LATER.
HE'S KNOCKING, NATALIE.
LET HIM IN.
WE CAN DO THESE TOMORROW TOO,
MRS. TRIPP.
YOU JUST HOLLER IF YOU'RE
FEELING TIRED.
I WILL.
FACT IS, I'M WORRIED ABOUT GOING
HOME JUST NOW.
I'M A LITTLE AFRAID.
WHEN THE TIME COMES, IF YOU
WANT, I'LL BE HAPPY TO GO HOME
WITH YOU.
I'D BE GRATEFUL.
I'LL STAY TILL YOU
THROW ME OUT.
MRS. TRIPP?
OH, EXCUSE ME.
YES?
I'M SORRY,
I'M CAPTAIN FURILLO.
- HOW DO YOU DO?
- HOW ARE YOU?
I'M VERY SORRY FOR WHAT'S
HAPPENED TO YOU TODAY.
MRS. FURILLO'S
BEEN A GREAT HELP.
ARE YOU RELATED?
COINCIDENCE.
FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, I WANT YOU
TO KNOW WE HAVE A SUSPECT IN
YOUR CASE.
IS THAT SO?
YOU HAVE ONE OF THE MEN?
WELL, HE'S A VERY STRONG
SUSPECT.
I'M SORRY I DIDN'T
SEE YOU, CAPTAIN.
I COULD HELP WITH THE
IDENTIFICATION.
WE'RE HOPING THAT
WON'T BE NECESSARY.
IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME.
YOU'RE IN VERY GOOD
HANDS HERE.
YES, I AM.
THANK YOU, CAPTAIN.
I JUST HAD INTAKE
WITH EDDIE SANTIAGO.
THAT'S HIS VICTIM.
I DON'T THINK HIS CONFESSION IS
USEFUL, FRANK.
WHY NOT?
HE WASN'T QUALIFIED
ON MIRANDA.
COFFEY READ HIM
HIS RIGHTS AT THE SCENE.
SANTIAGO DOESN'T
SPEAK ENGLISH.
HE ONLY SPEAKS SPANISH.
HIS RIGHTS WERE READ TO HIM
ONLY IN ENGLISH.
NO SALE-- THE MAN WAS
GIVEN HIS RIGHTS.
IF HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THEM,
HE DIDN'T GET THEM.
THANK YOU.
MORE OF THE SAME KIND OF
QUESTIONS.
DID ANYONE HEAR HIM
SPEAK ENGLISH?
DID HE SPEAK ENGLISH TO ANYBODY
HERE AT ANY TIME?
CAPTAIN, WHEN I ASKED HIM IF HE
UNDERSTOOD HIS RIGHTS,
I THOUGHT
HE SAID, "YEAH."
HE ACTED LIKE HE UNDERSTOOD.
AND BESIDES, ON HIS LICENSE, IT
DOESN'T SAY 'EDUARDO',
IT SAYS 'EDDIE.'
DAMN IT, RAY, WHY DIDN'T
SOMEBODY GIVE HIM HIS RIGHTS
AGAIN IN SPANISH?
I ASSUMED RAMIREZ HAD GIVEN HIM
HIS RIGHTS.
IT IS CHECKED ON THE SHEET.
AND RAMIREZ WAS AMONG THE
OFFICERS WHO ARRESTED HIM.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S MOVE ON.
WHERE ARE WE NOW?
WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE
ACCOMPLICE.
WE ALSO HAVE THE EARLIER RAPE
VICTIMS COMING IN FOR A LINE-UP.
MAYBE WE WON'T NEED SANTIAGO'S
CONFESSION.
OKAY.
RAY, RUN SANTIAGO'S RECORD
THROUGH BOARD OF EDUCATION,
IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION.
- CORRECTIONS ALSO?
- YEAH, GOOD.
JOE, LUCY, GET A WARRANT FOR
SANTIAGO'S APARTMENT.
ALSO CANVASS HIS NEIGHBORHOOD,
TALK TO ANYBODY WHO KNOWS HIM
AND MIGHT HAVE HEARD HIM SPEAK
ENGLISH.
- WE'RE ON OUR WAY.
- WE'RE CLOSE HERE, PEOPLE.
LET'S NOT LOSE THIS ONE.
CORRIDOR RAPE VICTIMS ARE READY
IN LINE-UP, CAPTAIN.

I WOULD REMEMBER HIM,
OFFICER.
HE ISN'T THERE.
OKAY.
THANKS FOR COMING IN.
THAT'S IT.
I DON'T THINK
SANTIAGO DID THE EARLIER RAPES.
ARE WE DONE?
NEED A TRANSLATOR TO TELL YOUR
CLIENT HE WASN'T MADE?
I DON'T LIKE YOUR TONE,
LIEUTENANT.
WE'RE STILL GOING TO HOLD
SANTIAGO FOR THE RAPE ASSAULT OF
MRS. TRIPP.
THAT'LL LAST TILL WE GET BEFORE
A JUDGE.
MAYBE WE GET LUCKY WITH

UNCLE SAM LICKING HIS CHOPS FOR
THAT 7200.
WHAT DO WE DO?
I THINK YOU'RE
JAMMED UP, BOBBY.
FRANKLY, I WOULDN'T RULE OUT THE
OLD BLUE COLLAR TWO STEP
CHAPTER 11.
MR. BOWERS, NOTHING AGAINST
PILES A, B AND C,
BUT I THOUGHT YOU WERE
GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT
WAYS TO REFINANCE.
NO, BOB, I'M A PRIVATE FINANCIAL
COUNSELOR.
EVERY YEAR, THE DEPARTMENT HIRES
MR. THOMPSON OR IN THIS CASE,
ME, TO COME IN HERE,
TALK TO YOU GUYS
ABOUT MONEY MANAGEMENT.
LOOK, BOBBY.
IF THIS THING IS GETTING TO THE
POINT WHERE IT'S MURDERING YOUR
PERSONAL LIFE, YOUR JOB, THERE
IS ONE FINAL POSSIBILITY THAT
I'M GOING TO WHISPER JUST TO
YOU, BUT THIS IS OFF THE RECORD,
RIGHT?
OFFICIAL COUNSELING SESSION
IS OVER.
I'M LISTENING.
I MIGHT KNOW WHERE YOU CAN
BORROW THE DOUGH.
BUT THE INTEREST WOULD
BE HIGHLY SUBSTANTIAL.
HOW SUBSTANTIAL?
A POINT A WEEK.
THIS IS NOT FROM A BANK.
THIS IS NOT FROM A FINANCE
COMPANY.
- COULD THIS BE DONE TODAY?
- COULD BE 4:00.
INTERESTED?
YEAH, I'M INTERESTED.
HOW DO I APPLY?
YOU JUST DID.
FRANK.
YOU WANT TO BRING ME UP TO SPEED
ON THE SANTIAGO MESS?
WE'RE WAITING FOR LAB RESULTS
FROM MICRO FIBERS, MAKING
INQUIRIES INTO HIS ENGLISH
COMPETENCE.
I.E., WE HAVE A FAILURE TO ID IN
LINE-UP AND A CONFESSION TAINTED
BECAUSE WE CAN'T PROVE SANTIAGO
UNDERSTOOD HIS RIGHTS.
WHAT WE ALSO HAVE IS MRS.
BERNSTEIN'S SON RIDING INTO
COURT IN A FLYING CARPET.
STILL WORKING ON IT.
CAN YOU GET ME THE WOMAN IN
COURT TO SWEAR THE COMPLAINT?
HAD A HELL OF A DAY.
FRANK, I'VE GOT NO ADMISSIBLE
CONFESSION, NO OTHER EVIDENCE TO
ASK FOR BAIL ON.
AT LEAST LET ME GET
THE SYMPATHY VOTE.
- I'LL ASK.
- CAPTAIN, AS SOON AS YOU CAN?
YEAH, HE'S ALL YOURS.
I GOTTA GO TAKE MY LUMPS
IN COURT.
MISS DAVENPORT.
JAKE PIMPKIN.
I JUST GOT LUIS CORDERO.
MR. PIMPKIN.
I HEAR YOU REPRESENT
CORDERO'S PARTNER.
- CORRECT.
- HEARD HE CONFESSED.
HOW ABOUT WE THROW THEM MY SLOW
CURVE AND CALL FOR POSTPONEMENT?
TELL 'EM I HAVEN'T HAD TIME
TO PREPARE?
HOW ABOUT WE GET TO COURT
AND YOU DEFER TO MY DEFENSE?
WHICH IS?
MY CLIENT'S CONFESSION IS
INADMISSIBLE.
AND HIS CONFESSION IS ALL THAT
LINKS YOUR CLIENT
WITH THE CRIME.
I'LL JUST HOLD OFF
ON THAT CURVE.
- JOYCE.
- SOUNDS GOOD.
YOU GOT TIME FOR
A QUICK LUNCH?
ACTUALLY, NO.
WE HAVE TO BE IN COURT IN ABOUT
HALF AN HOUR.
WE GOTTA EAT.
WE GOTTA KEEP UP OUR STRENGTH.
LOOK, I'M BROWN-BAGGING,
I'VE GOT ENOUGH FOR TWO.
WHY DON'T WE HAVE A QUICK
PICNIC?
NOW WHERE'S
A NICE, SHADY TREE?
PERFECT.
APPLE OR CHEESE SANDWICH?
- CHEESE.
- EXCELLENT CHOICE.
GRAZIE.
PREGO.
EDDIE SANTIAGO WOULDN'T BE ON
THE MENU, WOULD HE, IRWIN?
HMM-MMM.
WHOLE DIFFERENT AGENDA.
HMM... I HEARD.
NO, LISTEN.
I HAVE BEEN OFFERED CHIEF
PROSECUTOR FOR THE SOUTH BUREAU.
IRWIN, THAT'S GREAT.
THE DA AND I HAVE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT WHO WOULD FILL MY SLOT.
YOUR NAME'S BEEN MENTIONED.
- YOU'RE KIDDING.
- NO.
THE DA THINKS
YOU ARE A TROOPER.
JUDGES ADORE YOU AND YOUR
INTEGRITY IS UNIMPEACHABLE.
SO, I HAVE BEEN AUTHORIZED TO
OFFER YOU THE JOB.
44,000 TO START.
FIVE WEEKS VACATION.
UNIMAGINABLE EXPENSE ACCOUNT,
AS YOU CAN SEE.
AND I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO
SAY, JOYCE, I KNOW,
- BUT BEFORE YOU DO--
- YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
I DON'T HAVE TO WHAT?
EXPLAIN TO ME HOW OUR JOBS
AREN'T REALLY THAT DIFFERENT.
YOUR JOB IS TO PUSH THE SEWAGE
THROUGH THE SYSTEM UNTREATED.
MINE, TO FISH
THE JUICY GARBAGE OUT.
IRWIN.
SORRY.
THE FACT IS, JOYCE,
WE BOTH WORK FOR THE SAME
WASTE MANAGEMENT
PROJECT.
YOU KNOW, TRUTHFULLY, THE
OFFER'S A SURPRISE.
BUT MY REACTION IS NOT WHAT IT
WOULD HAVE BEEN FOUR YEARS AGO.
FOUR YEARS AGO, THIS WOULD HAVE
SOUNDED LIKED TREASON.
JOYCE, DON'T YOU EVER GET TIRED
OF FEELING WRONG EVEN WHEN
YOU'RE RIGHT?
WHEN YOU WIN A CASE, BUT YOU
KNOW THE GUY DID THE CRIME?
IRWIN, I BELIEVE IN THE RIGHT
TO COUNSEL.
NO QUESTION.
I'M TALKING ABOUT PERSONAL
FEELINGS.
I'M TALKING ABOUT
FEELING BAD PERSONALLY.
THE ANSWER IS-- THE SHORT ANSWER
IS YES.
SOMETIMES I DO.
I WON'T TOTALLY SAY NO YET,
IRWIN.
GOOD.
BUT IT SURE FEELS WEIRD.
JOYCE.
WHEN BALD-HEADED BERNSTEIN PUTS
A PSYCHOPATH OFF THE STREETS,
HE NEVER HAS ANY
MIXED FEELINGS.
BERNSTEIN
FEELS LIKE JOHN WAYNE.
LET'S GO TO COURT, DUKE.
ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE UP TO GOING
TO COURT, MRS. TRIPP?
I'M UP TO ANYTHING THAT HELPS
SEND THEM TO PRISON.

ELECTION FOR THE PBA
REPRESENTATIVE
IS NOW OFFICIALLY OVER.
BALLOT COUNTING
WILL COMMENCE.
GET OUT THE OLD ABACUS NOW,
SERGEANT.
MEANING EXACTLY WHAT?
WELL, NOTHING.
IT WAS AN ATTEMPT AT HUMOR.
WHEN IT COMES TO THE ELECTORAL
PROCESS, LIEUTENANT,
JABLONSKY'S
GOT A ZERO SENSE OF HUMOR.

NOW THEY'VE KILLED HIM.
40% CHEAPER,
50% TOUGHER.
HOW ABOUT 100% DEADER?
WHY DON'T YOU SHOW 'EM HOW TOUGH
YOU ARE NOW?
MRS. LOUISE TRIPP, DEPONENT,
STATES THAT DEFENDANTS
EDDIE SANTIAGO AND
LUIS CORDERO FORCIBLY ENTERED
HER HOME AND COMMITTED SEXUAL
ACTS UPON HER AGAINST HER WILL,
RENDERING HER GRIEVOUS
BODILY HARMS.
SO SWORN.
COUNSEL, APPROACH PLEASE.
SERGEANT?
PLEASE, WILL YOU JOIN US?
ALL RIGHT,
WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?
CO-DEFENDANT SANTIAGO MADE A
FULL CONFESSION FOLLOWING HIS
- ARREST, YOUR HONOR.
- OBJECTION.
MY CLIENT, MR. SANTIAGO, WAS NOT
ADVISED AS TO HIS RIGHTS
UPON ARREST.
ARRESTING OFFICERS
READ HIM HIS RIGHTS.
IN ENGLISH, WHICH MR. SANTIAGO
NEITHER UNDERSTANDS NOR SPEAKS.
THE PEOPLE'S CASE IS TOTALLY
BASED ON AN
INADMISSIBLE STATEMENT.
THEY HAVE
NO OTHER EVIDENCE.
YOU GIVE MR. SANTIAGO
MIRANDA?
YES.
HE GIVE YOU ANY INDICATION IT
WAS GREEK TO HIM?
NO.
HE GIVE YOU ANY INDICATION
IT WASN'T?
- NO.
- UH-HUH.
HEY, YOU THERE,
AT THE DEFENSE TABLE?
YOUR FLY IS OPEN.
LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE ON THE MONEY,
"JOYCIE."
ALSO, MR. DA, I NOTE HERE
DEFENDANTS ARE NOT SUSPECT
IN OTHER RECENT GERIATRIC RAPES
BY VIRTUE OF INCOMPATIBLE
BLOOD TYPES, RIGHT?
THAT IS APPARENTLY CORRECT,
YOUR HONOR.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH--
STAND BACK.
MRS. TRIPP?
THE COURT IS SENSITIVE TO THE
GRIEVOUS HARM DONE TO YOU.
BUT I AM AFRAID THAT THE CASE
AGAINST THESE MEN IS SO MINIMAL,
THE COURT CANNOT IN GOOD
CONSCIENCE SET THE HIGH BAIL
SUCH CHARGES USUALLY DICTATE.
SO, $1,000, 10% CASH

NEXT CASE.
- CAN YOU MAKE BAIL?
- WHAT?
[MAN]

MRS. TRIPP...
MRS. TRIPP, THEY'RE GOING--
NO, NO, NO, THEY'RE GOING TO
STAND TRIAL.
NO, THEY'LL STAND TRIAL.
IT'S JUST BAIL,
THEY'LL STAND TRIAL.
WHEN?
IN FOUR MONTHS?
SIX?
HOW MANY MORE WOMEN WILL THEY BE
ALLOWED TO DO THIS TO?
I DON'T KNOW.
THEY GO FREE AND I'M AFRAID
TO GO HOME.
LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING.
WHO DOES THIS HELP?
- HEY, BOBBY.
- HEY.
RIGHT ON TIME,
LET'S JUST WALK.
GOOD NEWS, BOBBY,
YOU'VE BEEN ACCEPTED.
- GREAT!
- $7,200.

THIS HERE'S MIKE,
HE'S A LITTLE EXCITABLE.
NO, HE'S ALL RIGHT.
I CAN TELL.
COME ON IN.
EVERYTHING'S UNDER CONTROL.
YOU'RE THE TOUGH GUY.
I SAW YOUR ACT.
TELL ME SOMETHING.
YOU COME INTO MY TERRITORY
ADVERTISING 50% TOUGHER.
NOW WHAT IS THAT?
TO ME, IT INDICATES A LACK
OF RESPECT.
I MEAN, COULD IT BE REALLY THAT
YOU'RE ONLY 30% AS TOUGH?
OR 10%.
HEY!
I MEAN, MAYBE YOU'RE JUST
EQUALLY AS TOUGH.
I MEAN, WOULD YOU SETTLE FOR
BEING EQUALLY AS TOUGH?
COULD BE, SURE.
MAYBE EVEN 10% LESS TOUGH?
IS THAT POSSIBLE?
YEAH.
I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING.
I DON'T WANT THAT ANYBODY SHOULD
BE JUST AS TOUGH.
- I WANT US TO COOPERATE.
- MEANING?
I THROW A LITTLE
BUSINESS YOUR WAY.
I PUT YOU INTO
SOME REAL BREAD.
EVERYBODY PROSPERS.
COOPERATION.
YOU WANT US TO WORK FOR YOU?
A FRANCHISE DEAL.
LIKE I GOT WITH ALL THE OTHER
INDEPENDENTS.

HEY, MIKE, HEY.
HOW'S YOUR HEAD, HUH?
HEY, CARL.
GET THE MAN SOME ICE.
NO MORE TRAGIC ACCIDENTS EITHER,

HEY, MIKE, LOOK.
DON'T BE SO SERIOUS.
LIFE'S A CABARET, HUH?

- EXCHANGE WAS WITNESSED?
- BY GARABALDI.
AND THE BARTENDER.
GOOD CHOICE, ARMANDO.
- IS HE GONNA MAKE IT?
- MOST OF HIM.
WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

DETECTIVE MAYO,

GOOD WORK, PATSY.
- HARRY.
- THANKS, CAPTAIN.
NO, IT WAS ALL PATSY, CAPTAIN.
SHE WAS GREAT.
YOU BETTER CALL VICTIM'S AID.
MRS. FURILLO IS GOING TO WANT
TO TELL MRS. TRIPP
- SANTIAGO'S BEEN ARRESTED.
- OKAY.
PATSY, YOU BETTER BE PREPARED
FOR SOME SQUAD ROOM FLAK.

KIDNAPPED.
YOU'RE SHOCKED.
I DON'T SHOCK AS EASILY
AS I USED TO.
IRWIN BERNSTEIN HAS BEEN OFFERED
HEAD OF SOUTH BUREAU, FRANK.
GOOD FOR IRWIN.
HOW DID YOU HAPPEN
TO HEAR THAT?
HE OFFERED ME HIS OLD JOB.
YOU CONSIDERING IT?
YEP.
FOR OPENERS, IT'S AN EXTRA
SEVEN GRAND.
CAN'T HATE 7,000.
IT WOULD BE A VERY DRAMATIC
REORIENTATION.
THAT HAS AN APPEAL.
IF ANYTHING, BEING A PD HAS MADE
ME BELIEVE EVEN MORE STRONGLY
THAN WHEN I LEFT SCHOOL THAT
I CAN'T PULL MY PUNCHES.
IF THE PROCESS IS GOING TO WORK,
IT'S UPSETTING TO CLIMB INTO THE
RING AND REALIZE SOMETIMES THE
ENERGY ISN'T THERE.
MAYBE YOU ASK TOO MUCH OF
YOURSELF.
THE PROCESS IS TOO IMPORTANT TO
SHORTCHANGE THAT WAY.
WHAT ABOUT THE PERSON?
MAYBE THE PERSON'S BEEN DOING
THE SAME THING FOR TOO LONG.
ANYWAY, I'D LIKE TO CONSIDER THE
POSSIBILITY OF FINDING OUT.
IT'S LIKE I'VE BEEN USING MY
LEFT SO LONG, NOW MAYBE I OUGHTA
FIND OUT IF

- WELL, GOOD LUCK.
- WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
NATALIE.
THERE'S FIVE DIFFERENT CONTRACTS
OUT ON ME, NATALIE.
BUT YOU KNOW
WHY I FEAR NO EVIL?
'CAUSE I GOT A PERSONAL
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD.
LET ME TELL YOU, JIMMY FISHER
HAD IT ALL.
BEAUTIFUL HOUSE, NICE CARS,
BEAUTIFUL WOMEN, BUT EVEN WHEN I
WAS A SPIRITUAL PERSON, IT
DIDN'T MAKE ME HAPPY, YOU KNOW
- WHAT I'M SAYING?
- I GUESS.
I SAID TO MYSELF, WHAT IS ALL
THIS STUFF, THIS WEALTH,
THIS FANTASTIC LUXURY?
I MEAN, TO THE WHOLE WORLD,
I WAS A BIG SHOT.
I WAS JIMMY FISHER.
BUT INSIDE, I WAS A BUM.
THE BIBLE SAYS THEY HAVE EARS,
BUT HEAR NOT.
THAT WAS ME.
GOD TURNED YOU AROUND?
WHAT TURNED ME AROUND WAS I
FOUND OUT THE FEDS HAD ME
WIRETAPPED FOR 10 MONTHS.
MY CHAUFFEUR
WAS AN UNDERCOVER AGENT.
THEN AFTER THE SCARBALONES
HAD A HIT OUT ON ME,
IT WAS LIKE TWO HALVES
OF THE SCISSORS CLOSING SHUT.
AND THEN THE SAVIOR CAME
INTO MY LIFE.
HE LIFTED ME
OUT OF MY DESPAIR.
I CONFESSED ALL MY
SINS TO HIM.
THE MONDALVI KILLINGS, STUFF THE
FEDS DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT.
AND HE UNDERSTOOD.
SO YOUR SINS BE AS SCARLET,
THEY SHALL BE WHITE AS SNOW.
AND THAT'S WHEN YOU DECIDED
TO SQUEAL?
I SAID TO MYSELF, I'LL TAKE MY
CHANCES WITH THE SCARBALONES
AND THOSE OTHER GUYS.
BUT I WANT TO BE AT PEACE WITH
THE MAN UPSTAIRS.
YEAH, WELL,
I GOTTA GO NOW, MR. FISHER.
I'LL COME BACK AND GET
YOUR TRAY LATER.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO STAY AROUND A

I'M A LITTLE AFRAID.

WANT, I'LL BE HAPPY TO GO HOME
WITH YOU.
I'D BE GRATEFUL.
I'LL STAY TILL YOU
THROW ME OUT.
MRS. TRIPP?
OH, EXCUSE ME.
YES?
I'M SORRY,
I'M CAPTAIN FURILLO.
- HOW DO YOU DO?
- HOW ARE YOU?
I'M VERY SORRY FOR WHAT'S
HAPPENED TO YOU TODAY.
MRS. FURILLO'S
BEEN A GREAT HELP.
ARE YOU RELATED?
COINCIDENCE.
FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, I WANT YOU
TO KNOW WE HAVE A SUSPECT IN
YOUR CASE.
IS THAT SO?
YOU HAVE ONE OF THE MEN?
WELL, HE'S A VERY STRONG
SUSPECT.
I'M SORRY I DIDN'T
SEE YOU, CAPTAIN.
I COULD HELP WITH THE
IDENTIFICATION.
WE'RE HOPING THAT
WON'T BE NECESSARY.
IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME.
YOU'RE IN VERY GOOD
HANDS HERE.
YES, I AM.
THANK YOU, CAPTAIN.
I JUST HAD INTAKE
WITH EDDIE SANTIAGO.
THAT'S HIS VICTIM.
I DON'T THINK HIS CONFESSION IS
USEFUL, FRANK.
WHY NOT?
HE WASN'T QUALIFIED
ON MIRANDA.
COFFEY READ HIM
HIS RIGHTS AT THE SCENE.
SANTIAGO DOESN'T
SPEAK ENGLISH.
HE ONLY SPEAKS SPANISH.
HIS RIGHTS WERE READ TO HIM
ONLY IN ENGLISH.
NO SALE-- THE MAN WAS
GIVEN HIS RIGHTS.
IF HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THEM,
HE DIDN'T GET THEM.
THANK YOU.
MORE OF THE SAME KIND OF
QUESTIONS.
DID ANYONE HEAR HIM
SPEAK ENGLISH?
DID HE SPEAK ENGLISH TO ANYBODY
HERE AT ANY TIME?
CAPTAIN, WHEN I ASKED HIM IF HE
UNDERSTOOD HIS RIGHTS,
I THOUGHT
HE SAID, "YEAH."
HE ACTED LIKE HE UNDERSTOOD.
AND BESIDES, ON HIS LICENSE, IT
DOESN'T SAY 'EDUARDO',
IT SAYS 'EDDIE.'
DAMN IT, RAY, WHY DIDN'T
SOMEBODY GIVE HIM HIS RIGHTS
AGAIN IN SPANISH?
I ASSUMED RAMIREZ HAD GIVEN HIM
HIS RIGHTS.
IT IS CHECKED ON THE SHEET.
AND RAMIREZ WAS AMONG THE
OFFICERS WHO ARRESTED HIM.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S MOVE ON.
WHERE ARE WE NOW?
WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE
ACCOMPLICE.
WE ALSO HAVE THE EARLIER RAPE
VICTIMS COMING IN FOR A LINE-UP.
MAYBE WE WON'T NEED SANTIAGO'S
CONFESSION.
OKAY.

- CORRECTIONS ALSO?
- YEAH, GOOD.

IN LINE-UP, CAPTAIN.

OKAY.
THANKS FOR COMING IN.
THAT'S IT.
I DON'T THINK
SANTIAGO DID THE EARLIER RAPES.
ARE WE DONE?
NEED A TRANSLATOR TO TELL YOUR
CLIENT HE WASN'T MADE?
I DON'T LIKE YOUR TONE,
LIEUTENANT.
WE'RE STILL GOING TO HOLD
SANTIAGO FOR THE RAPE ASSAULT OF
MRS. TRIPP.
THAT'LL LAST TILL WE GET BEFORE
A JUDGE.
MAYBE WE GET LUCKY WITH

READ HIM HIS RIGHTS.

NEITHER UNDERSTANDS NOR SPEAKS.
THE PEOPLE'S CASE IS TOTALLY
BASED ON AN
INADMISSIBLE STATEMENT.
THEY HAVE
NO OTHER EVIDENCE.
YOU GIVE MR. SANTIAGO

WAS GREEK TO HIM?
NO.
HE GIVE YOU ANY INDICATION

THANK YOU VERY MUCH--
STAND BACK.
MRS. TRIPP?
THE COURT IS SENSITIVE TO THE
GRIEVOUS HARM DONE TO YOU.

I MEAN, WOULD YOU SETTLE FOR
BEING EQUALLY AS TOUGH?
COULD BE, SURE.
MAYBE EVEN 10% LESS TOUGH?
IS THAT POSSIBLE?
YEAH.
I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING.
I DON'T WANT THAT ANYBODY SHOULD
BE JUST AS TOUGH.
- I WANT US TO COOPERATE.
- MEANING?
I THROW A LITTLE
BUSINESS YOUR WAY.
I PUT YOU INTO
SOME REAL BREAD.
EVERYBODY PROSPERS.
COOPERATION.
YOU WANT US TO WORK FOR YOU?
A FRANCHISE DEAL.
LIKE I GOT WITH ALL THE OTHER
INDEPENDENTS.
AND YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE MORE
WITH ME IN ONE DAY THAN YOU WILL
IN A WEEK WORKING
FOR YOURSELF.
HEY, MIKE, HEY.
HOW'S YOUR HEAD, HUH?
HEY, CARL.
GET THE MAN SOME ICE.
NO MORE TRAGIC ACCIDENTS EITHER,
LIKE MR. WATKINS, HUH?
WHAT DO YOU SAY?
MR. ZIPLIP?
WORTH DISCUSSING.
HEY, MIKE, LOOK.
DON'T BE SO SERIOUS.
LIFE'S A CABARET, HUH?
OH, FRANK.
CORDERO AND
SANTIAGO HAVE PULLED IN.
CORDERO'S BACK IN HIS APARTMENT,
SANTIAGO'S AT THE MARIACHI BAR.
CAPTAIN, LET US GO BACK IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD.
I KNOW WE CAN FIND SOMEBODY
WHO'S HEARD HIM SPEAK ENGLISH.
I WANT US OFF HIM NOW, LUCE.
I WANT OUR UNIFORMS OUT OF THAT
NEIGHBORHOOD.
- WHAT ELSE DO WE HAVE TO GO ON?
- WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT.
YOU WANTED
TO SEE US, CAPTAIN?
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR
ATTENTION.
- GOOD LUCK, MR. EASTMAN.
- GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
... YOU THREE.
- GOOD WORK, BOBBY.
- THANKS, CAPTAIN.
MOVE IN HERE.
S.I.D. HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON
WATKINS?
NEGATIVE.
WASHINGTON CALLED, THOUGH,
OUT AT INTESTINALE'S.
SAID HE'D BE BACK IN AN HOUR.
CONGRATULATIONS, ANDREW.
I WON.
- GOOD WORK, ANDY.
- RATS.
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOU TOO,
LIEUTENANT.
YOU WERE A BIG PART.
YOU AND RENKO
RUN OFF TOMORROW.
LIEUTENANT GOLDBLUME, YOU WAGED
A CLEAN CAMPAIGN.
THANK YOU.
WAY TO GO, MAN.
CONGRATULATIONS, HOWARD.
OH, THANKS, HENRY, I WILL ACCEPT
PROVISIONAL CONGRATULATIONS.
INCIDENTALLY, I WOULD LIKE TO
CONVERSE WITH YOU AT YOUR
EARLIEST CONVENIENCE CONCERNING
THIS RUNOFF.
DINNER PERHAPS, MY TREAT?
YOUR FAVORITE DELI.
VELVET.
- HI.
- HI.
WHO'S WINNING?
I ALWAYS BEAT THIS GUY.
HE MAKES ME RICH.
ARE YOU BRAGGING?
- 80 CENTS.
- LET ME.
THANK YOU, THAT'S SWEET.
YOU SHOOT POOL, CHICA?
NO, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HOLD
A CUE RIGHT.
TAKE MY TURN.
I'LL SHOW YOU HOW TO CUE.
I MISS THE BALL,
I'LL GET YOU CAUGHT UP.
TELL HIM I'LL CATCH HIM UP.
I HEAR YOU, MAMA,
I GOT YOU.
OH GOOD,
I DIDN'T THINK YOU UNDERSTOOD.
I UNDERSTAND YOU, MAMA.
HE'S SHOWING YOU CRAZY,
DON'T HOLD IT LIKE THAT.
COME HERE, I'LL SHOW YOU.
YOU'RE BUSTED, SUCKER,
I'M A COP.
HARRY!
POLICE, FREEZE!
DROP IT!
[SIRENS WAILING]
HE UNDERSTOOD AND RESPONDED
TO MY QUESTIONS.
HE FORMED SEVERAL
SENTENCES OF HIS OWN.
- NO SPANISH THOUGH?
- IT WAS ALL IN ENGLISH.
- EXCHANGE WAS WITNESSED?
- BY GARABALDI.
AND THE BARTENDER.
GOOD CHOICE, ARMANDO.
- IS HE GONNA MAKE IT?
- MOST OF HIM.
WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
MEANS YOU SCORED A BULL'S EYE,
DETECTIVE.
DETECTIVE MAYO,
I NEED YOUR PIECE.
GOOD WORK, PATSY.
- HARRY.
- THANKS, CAPTAIN.
NO, IT WAS ALL PATSY, CAPTAIN.
SHE WAS GREAT.
YOU BETTER CALL VICTIM'S AID.
MRS. FURILLO IS GOING TO WANT
TO TELL MRS. TRIPP
- SANTIAGO'S BEEN ARRESTED.
- OKAY.
PATSY, YOU BETTER BE PREPARED
FOR SOME SQUAD ROOM FLAK.
CAPTAIN, HE WAS MOVING,
I WAS AIMING FOR HIS LEG.
UNDERSTOOD.
I WAS GOING
FOR THE GUY'S LEG.
SOMETIMES YOU JUST GET LUCKY.
[PHONE RINGING]
FURILLO.
WAS HIS GUARD HURT?
THANKS, JOHN.
- DAMN IT.
- WHAT?
DEPARTMENT WAS HIDING A WITNESS
TILL HE COULD GIVE
GRAND JURY TESTIMONY.
KILLED?
KIDNAPPED.
YOU'RE SHOCKED.
I DON'T SHOCK AS EASILY
AS I USED TO.
IRWIN BERNSTEIN HAS BEEN OFFERED
HEAD OF SOUTH BUREAU, FRANK.
GOOD FOR IRWIN.
HOW DID YOU HAPPEN
TO HEAR THAT?
HE OFFERED ME HIS OLD JOB.
YOU CONSIDERING IT?
YEP.
FOR OPENERS, IT'S AN EXTRA
SEVEN GRAND.
CAN'T HATE 7,000.
IT WOULD BE A VERY DRAMATIC
REORIENTATION.
THAT HAS AN APPEAL.
IF ANYTHING, BEING A PD HAS MADE
ME BELIEVE EVEN MORE STRONGLY
THAN WHEN I LEFT SCHOOL THAT
I CAN'T PULL MY PUNCHES.
IF THE PROCESS IS GOING TO WORK,
IT'S UPSETTING TO CLIMB INTO THE
RING AND REALIZE SOMETIMES THE
ENERGY ISN'T THERE.
MAYBE YOU ASK TOO MUCH OF
YOURSELF.
THE PROCESS IS TOO IMPORTANT TO
SHORTCHANGE THAT WAY.
WHAT ABOUT THE PERSON?
MAYBE THE PERSON'S BEEN DOING
THE SAME THING FOR TOO LONG.
ANYWAY, I'D LIKE TO CONSIDER THE
POSSIBILITY OF FINDING OUT.
IT'S LIKE I'VE BEEN USING MY
LEFT SO LONG, NOW MAYBE I OUGHTA
FIND OUT IF
MY RIGHT'S ANY GOOD.
TELL YOU ONE THING,
KIDDO:
YOUR LEGS ARE STILL THERE.
LET'S SEE IF I'VE LOST
IT IN THE CLENCHES.
OH YEAH?
