YOU GOT A LOT OF GUNS IN THERE.
YOU GOT PAPERWORK ON THESE?
AL DIPIANO.
HE DEALS 40 PIECES A WEEK.
DID EDDIE TELL YOU WHY
WE WANTED TO SEE MR. DIPIANO?
SLIPS MY MIND.
MAYBE YOU COULD HELP US
WITH SOME INFORMATION.
YOU MEAN BE A SNITCH?
MY FRIEND IS PARKING
HIS TRAILER HERE,
AND I'M WATCHING IT
FOR HIM.
SOME PEOPLE LET ME
PROTECT 'EM!
YOU LISTEN TO DR. JABLONSKI--
WE'LL BOWL.
AND AFTERWARDS WE MIGHT
HAVE A FEW BREWS.
- I MISS YOU.
- WHAT ABOUT THAT OTHER GUY?
I MAY NOT HAVE GOTTEN
EVERYTHING I NEEDED
FROM YOU, MICK, BUT WITHOUT YOU,
I DON'T HAVE ANY OF IT.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
ITEM FOUR...
LATENESS.
PEOPLE, PLEASE,
NOBODY LIKE CLIMBING
OUT OF A WARM BED.
BUT I'VE BEEN LETTING IT SLIDE,
UP TO A POINT.
NOW, I'M NOT MENTIONING
ANY NAMES,
BUT IF A CERTAIN DETECTIVE,
INITIALS H.G.,
IS LATE ONE MORE TIME,
I'M GONNA MAKE AN ENTRY
INTO HIS--
MAYBE IT'S A HER--
JACKET.
WHO, HARRIET...
DID ANYBODY EVER HEAR
OF HENRY GOLDBLUME?
A LIEUTENANT
HENRY GOLDBLUME
I DON'T BUY IT.
PEOPLE, PEOPLE, LISTEN UP.
OPERATION "DIRTY DISCO,"
CONTINUING
WITH LIEUTENANT GOLDBLUME
AND OFFICER JOE COFFEE
AS WAITER UNDERCOVERS
AT AL DIPIANO'S KEYBOARD LOUNGE.
NOW, THIS OPERATION INVOLVES
INTERNATIONAL WEAPONS SALES,
SO WE'VE GOT THE FBI
AND THE IRS PARTICIPATING.
AS OF TODAY,
ALL NEGOTIATIONS FINALLY
HAVING BEEN COMPLETED
TO EVERYBODY'S SATISFACTION,
GINA SRIGNOLI...
[OOHS AND AHHS]
...WELL, SHE'S GONNA BE
ON THE INSIDE WITH A WIRE.
NOW, DETECTIVES MAYO
AND GARIBALDI ARE GONNA BE
ON THE OTHER END
RIDING SHOTGUN
IN THE COMMUNICATIONS
VAN.
ROOKIE OFFICER BUZHARDT IS GONNA
BE GOING TO SCHOOL
WITH SGT. BATES
UNTIL THIS POP IS MADE.
YOU GOT ALL THAT?
- GOT IT, GOT IT.
- GOOD. GOOD.
ITEM LAST.
THE BOWLING TEAM TOOK IT
ON THE CHIN LAST NIGHT
FROM THE EMERALD EMPERORS
OF MIDTOWN.
[BOOING, JEERING]
SILVER LINING, DEPARTMENT,
THE ADDITION OF MICK BELKER
TO THE TEAM.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
HE IS GONNA BE
A HOLY TERROR
ONCE HE CLEARS UP
THE FOOT FOULS.
SO ONCE HE STARTS USING
A BOWLING BALL.
[LAUGHTER]
THAT'S IT.
LET'S GET OUT THERE
AND LET'S DO IT TO THEM
BEFORE THEY DO IT TO US.
OH, SARGE,
I GOTTA TALK TO YOU.
YOU NEED MORE SUPPORT
FROM YOUR FELLAS, MICK.
YOU CAN'T CARRY A TEAM
ALL BY YOURSELF.
YEAH, UH, I GOTTA QUIT.
WHAT?
ROBIN TATAGLIA AND I ARE
GONNA START LIVING TOGETHER.
WITHOUT GETTING MARRIED?
YEAH.
WHAT'S THAT GOT TO DO
WITH BOWLING?
WELL, I DON'T WANT
TO MESS THINGS UP THIS TIME.
- YOU KNOW.
- OH.
WELL, IT MAKES SENSE.
GLAD FOR YOU.
THAT'S GREAT.
- I'M SORRY.
- NO PROBLEM.
IT'S NOT A ONE-MAN-BAND.
WE'LL--
WE'LL ADJUST.
HILL AND RENKO, UH,
YOU GUYS, ROBBERY,
HURTLE AND JEFFERSON
PARKING LOT.
MRS. FURILLO TURNED IT IN.
HADLEY, IS FAY
GETTING ROBBED AGAIN?
UH-UH, SHE SAW IT.
SHE SCARED THE GUY OFF.
THAT WOMAN HAS NO FEAR!
UH, SIR?
EXCUSE ME, SIR.
ON THE STREET CORNER
OF THE GHETTO,
A TUBERCULAR CHILD STANDS
AND SHOUTS AT THE SKY,
"WITH THE POWER
OF ALMIGHTY GOD,
I WILL STRIKE THIS WORLD DEAD
AT THE 11TH HOUR."
THE EARTH WILL CRACK
AND BREAK,
AND ALL THE HATE AND GREED
AND-- AND...
PORNOGRAPHY, AND THE FILTH
OF THE MISSILE SILOS
WILL SPEW OUT AND CONSUME
ALL HUMAN FLESH.
MEN WILL TEAR THEIR EYES OUT
OF THEIR SOCKETS.
MOTHERS WILL MURDER
THEIR BABIES.
OH, THE FATTED COW
WILL GIVE BIRTH
TO A STILLBORN,
MUTANT MONSTER.
AND WHEN IT'S FINISHED,
WHEN PAIN AND AGONY
HAVE GORGED THEMSELVES ON
THE CORRUPTION OF YOUR BODIES,
WHY, THEN,
THE OBSCENITY OF MANKIND
WILL RETURN TO ITS
PRIMORDIAL VAPOR
OF STINK AND VOMIT.
PRAY!
PRAY FOR YOURSELVES!
PRAY NOW, FOR THE HOUR OF YOUR
ANNIHILATION IS AT HAND.
[AMUSED MURMURS, CHATTER]
ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET OUT
A JELLY SPOT?
[SIREN BLARING,
POLICE RADIO CHATTER]
[MAUDLIN PIANO MUSIC]
♪♪
[SIREN WAILING]
SHE WAS ROBBED AND BEATEN.
I WAS COMING BACK
FROM DROPPING A CLIENT OFF.
THE GUY MUST HAVE SEEN ME
'CAUSE HE TOOK OFF.
YOU GET A LOOK AT HIM
YOURSELF?
- NOT REALLY.
- MRS. FURILLO...
HERE, SHE GAVE ME
A DESCRIPTION OF HIM.
MA'AM, WE'RE POLICE OFFICERS.
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
[PARAMEDIC]
SHE'S GOT BRUISES,
THAT'S ABOUT IT.
LOOKS LIKE THE LADY HERE
SAVED IT FOR HER.
YOU WANT TO GO
TO THE HOSPITAL, MA'AM?
I'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
WE COULD RUN X-RAYS,
BUT SHE DOESN'T WANT TO GO.
WELL, THEN, MA'AM, PERHAPS YOU'D
LIKE TO COME DOWN TO THE STATION
AND FILE A REPORT
ON THE MUGGER?
I-- I GOT MY BABIES
AT HOME, THAT'S ALL.
CAN'T Y'ALL FILL OUT
THEM REPORTS,
AND I'LL COME BACK AND
PICK UP MY MONEY LATER?
NOT SO SURE WHAT YOU MEAN
ABOUT MONEY, MA'AM.
WELL, THE WOMAN JUST SAID
I COULD GET MONEY BACK
FROM BEING ROBBED,
AIN'T THAT RIGHT?
WELL, I WAS EXPLAINING TO HER,
AS A CRIME VICTIM,
SHE MIGHT BE ELIGIBLE
FOR COMPENSATION.
YOU GET COMPENSATION AFTER YOU
FILL OUT THE REPORT, MA'AM.
FIRST THINGS FIRST.
YOU GOT THAT?
FIRST THINGS FIRST.
I WAS EXPLAINING THAT TO YOU,
MRS. BROWN, TOO, REMEMBER?
EXCEPT I DON'T KNOW WHAT MORE
I'M GONNA TELL YOU.
I LOST MY WELFARE CHECK,
UNDERSTAND THAT?
MY WELFARE CHECK
AND $12.
LET'S GO.
I NEVER WANT TO SEE
MENDOZA FILES AGAIN.
WELL, IF WE GET ON
THE STAND TODAY,
MAYBE YOU MIGHT NOT
HAVE TO, LEO.
TESTIMONY THE FIRST DAY
OF TRIAL,
WITH THE JOKE THEY'VE MADE OUT
OF THIS NATION'S COURT SYSTEM?
EXCUSE ME, CPT. FURILLO IS
EXPECTING US.
AH, MR. GREENGLASS,
MRS. SRIGNOLI
- CAPTAIN'S OFFICE.
- THANK YOU.
- HI, DETECTIVES.
- HI.
STILL A GREAT COUNTRY,
MAN.
NEAL, LET ME ASK YOU
SOMETHING.
- WHAT?
- YOU GET AROUSED, DO YOU BLINK?
- YEAH.
- I DON'T KNOW, MY WHOLE LIFE--
I GET AROUSED,
I CAN'T BLINK.
[NEAL CHUCKLES]
NO, I WON'T GO FOR IT.
IT'S THE LAST STRAW
IN THE SHAKEDOWN,
AND SHE DOESN'T GET THE DOUGH.
THIS IS A JUDGMENT
MADE BY WHO?
BY ME, AS THE FIELD OFFICER
IN CHARGE.
GENTLEMEN.
DID YOU RELAY
OUR REQUEST, CAPTAIN?
WE'RE STILL DISCUSSING IT.
- OH, BOY.
- DISCUSSING IT?
PEOPLE, IT'S
A TWO-WAY STREET!
THIS GIRL'S DONE NOTHING
BUT DELIVER FOR YOU.
COME D-DAY, YOU ASK HER
TO WEAR A WIRE,
IT CAN ONLY INCREASE
HER RISK.
OKAY, WE'D LIKE EARLY RELEASE
ON A FEW DOLLARS
AND HER HUSBAND'S ESTATE--
$10,000.
WHAT'S TO DISCUSS?
WHERE'S THE RECIPROCITY?
- FBI HAS NO OBJECTION.
- OF COURSE.
IT'S NOT THE FBI'S MONEY,
IS IT?
YOU KNOW, YOU JUST WORK
FOR THE IRS, MR. SIMPSON.
SOMETIMES I THINK HE HAD
A PERSONAL HATE VENDETTA
AGAINST MY LATE-HUSBAND PAUL.
AGENT SIMPSON, COULD I TALK
TO YOU FOR A MINUTE?
YOU CAN TALK
TILL THE COWS COME HOME.
THAT IMPOUND DOESN'T LIFT.
EXCUSE US FOR A MINUTE.
I DON'T THINK MRS. SRIGNOLI'S
REQUEST IS OUT OF LINE.
YOU'RE ENTITLED
TO YOUR OPINION, CAPTAIN.
I HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE
ON A HIGH-RISK UNDERCOVER
BECAUSE SOMEBODY IN YOUR OFFICE
AUTHORIZED DEALING
THE TAX LIENS
ON HER HUSBAND'S ESTATE
FOR AN OPERATION
AGAINST AL DIPIANO.
MAYBE YOU WEREN'T CONSULTED
ON THAT DECISION,
OR MAYBE YOU DISAPPROVED
OF IT.
WHY WOULDN'T I APPROVE
OF IT?
YOU ONLY MADE A JOKE OUT OF
THE LAST 13 MONTHS OF MY LIFE.
WELL, THAT JOKE'S BEEN
PLAYED ON ME
A FEW TIMES, TOO,
MR. SIMPSON.
BUT THE DEAL WAS MADE,
AND A LOT OF OURS, AND THE LIVES
OF A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE
ARE GONNA BE WASTED IF YOU
CONTRADICTED AN EXECUTION.
AND I THINK IF I CALLED
RIGHT NOW,
WHICHEVER OF YOUR SUPERIORS
MADE THE ORIGINAL DEAL
WOULD AUTHORIZE
RELEASING THAT MONEY.
NOT NECESSARY.
LET'S SAY CONSISTENT
IN OUR STUPIDITY.
MR. SIMPSON'S RECONSIDERED.
WE'LL RELEASE THE $10,000.
GET MRS. SRIGNOLI
HER MONEY, WOULD YOU?
YES, SIR.
SHE'S ALL YOURS.
DO YOU HAVE A 713
FOR ME, OFFICER?
YES, VERY COMPLETE.
VERY, VERY MEANINGFUL
STATEMENT.
THANK YOU, MA'AM.
I GOT FOUR KIDS AT HOME
WITH A NEIGHBOR
WHO HAS FOUR KIDS
OF HER OWN.
I WASTED ALL MY TIME PUTTING OUT
A DESCRIPTION OF A MAN.
WHAT GOOD IS THAT
GONNA DO?
SIT. YOU KNOW, THEY DO
CATCH THEM SOMETIMES.
PLEASE, IF I GOT MONEY
COMING, OKAY.
OTHERWISE, I GOTTA GET BACK
TO MY HOUSE.
WELL, WE HAVE MEDICAL, LEGAL,
AND SOCIAL SERVICES AVAILABLE.
BUT I CAN UNDERSTAND
YOUR MAIN INTEREST.
YOU'RE ELIGIBLE FOR A RE-ISSUE
OF YOUR WELFARE CHECK,
PLUS 27% OF YOUR OTHER
LOSSES AND EXPENSES.
WHAT'S YOUR FULL LEGAL NAME?
I GOTTA FILL OUT
ALL THEM FORMS?
YES, MISS BROWN.
NOW, WE CAN MAKE THIS WORK, BUT
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO HELP.
- OKAY, OKAY, OKAY.
- FULL NAME.
RUBY LOUISE BROWN.
AND TALK.
TALK, TALK.
I WISH YOU COULD
BE THERE, HARRY.
NO, THAT WOULDN'T
BE SMART, GINA.
I MEAN, I KNOW AL MADE YOU
AND DETECTIVES LARUE
AND WASHINGTON.
IT WAS JUST A WISH.
[CHUCKLES]
WELL...
LT. GOLDBLUME WILL BE
LOOKING OUT FOR YOU.
AND OFFICER COFFEE.
AND OFFICER COFFEE, RIGHT.
GEE, THAT LOOKS
SO TECHNICAL.
YOU BARELY FEEL IT
ONCE IT'S ON.
HOW DOES IT GO?
THE PACK STRAPS UNDERNEATH.
THE MICROPHONE HOOKS
TO YOUR BRA.
OKAY.
I GUESS WE BETTER
GET ME A BRA, THEN.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[SIREN STOPS, HORNS BLARING]
DANGEROUS POSITION,
RIGHT?
YEAH, JUST BE FIRM
AND DON'T TAKE ANY NOISE.
OKAY, BUT YOU HANDLE IT,
ALL RIGHT?
[HORN HONKING]
GOOD ONE, DRIVE INTO ME,
DOESN'T HAVE A LICENSE.
A DOLLAR'LL GET YOU DOUGHNUTS
HE DON'T HAVE
A NICKEL'S-WORTH
OF INSURANCE.
AW, HEY, OFFICER, LOOK,
GUESS MY LICENSE
MUST HAVE LAPSED, HUH?
YEAH, SIX MONTHS AGO.
- YO, I'M GONNA CATCH THE BUS.
- ALL RIGHT, MAN.
LET ME SEE SOME I.D.
OFFICER, I WAS JUST RIDING.
LET ME MAKE THE RACES.
A) YOU STINK LIKE A STILL.
B) YOU REMIND ME OF SOMEONE
I JUST HEARD ABOUT ON THE RADIO.
C) LET ME SEE SOME I.D.
[HORN HONKING]
RUBY BROWN.
YOU RUBY BROWN?
I FOUND THAT.
IT WAS LAYIN' ON THE STREET.
WHAT A COINCIDENCE A ROB-ASSAULT
VICTIM ABOUT HALF AN HOUR AGO.
OKAY, YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.
UP AGAINST THE CAR.
YOU GOT THE RIGHT
TO REMAIN SILENT.
WHAT ABOUT THIS CREEP?
HOW 'BOUT BUSTIN' HIM?
HE'S NEXT.
YOU WANNA GO IN TOO?
YEAH, TURN ON ME.
TURN ON THE VICTIM.
KEEP RUNNIN'--
KEEP RUNNIN' YOUR MOUTH.
I'D LIKE TO TELL YOU
THAT THIS WAS FIRST INTRODUCED
IN NEW ORLEANS
AT BOB'S HIDEAWAY
IN ABOUT 19 AND 31.
[BELKER]
FREEZE!
HEY, YOU NUTBURGER,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
YOU GOTTA STOP BLOCKING
THE SIDEWALK!
HEY, HIT AND RUN,
WHY DON'T YOU HELP ME
PICK UP, HUH--
COME ON!
- THAT'S IT!
- WHAT?
I'M A POLICEMAN, SPITBALL,
AND YOU ARE UNDER ARREST.
HUH? HUH?
NO PLAYING NEAR RESTAURANTS,
CHURCHES, PARKING LOTS,
SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS.
NO PLAYING BEFORE 9:00 A.M.
OR AFTER 1:00 A.M.
HEY, WHY DON'T YOU GUYS
JUST SHOOT US ON SIGHT?
OPEN SEASON
ON THE ONE-MAN-BAND.
WE'RE FREAKS, RIGHT?
WIPE US OFF THE FACE
OF THE EARTH,
LIKE THE CHINESE
WITH ALL THEM DOGS.
SHUT UP!
GIVE HIM THE TUBA!
IT'S A SOUSAPHONE,
NOT A TUBA!
WHAT'S, UH--
WHAT'S THE CHARGE, MICK?
INTERFERING
WITH A POLICE OFFICER,
OBSTRUCTING A PUBLIC
THOROUGHFARE.
PERSECUTION,
HUMILIATION, DEHUMANIZATION!
[GROWLS]
MOVE, MOVE!
SIT DOWN.
NAME?
DERSION MUZEL.
YOU KNOW, I COULD MAKE
A QUINTET OUT OF THIS DESKTOP.
THAT'S A PERFECT A-FLAT.
GET YOUR HANDS OFF
OF THERE
OR I'LL BREAK 'EM OFF
AT THE WRIST.
$21,000 OR B.O.?
THAT'S "BEST OFFER," RAY.
ARE YOU INTERESTED?
- NOT REALLY.
- WELL, YOU'RE A SMART MAN.
I HEAR IT'S JUST A LEMON.
[HUNTER CHUCKLES]
WELL, REALITY WAS SOMEWHAT LESS
THAN FANTASY.
SEE, THESE RV DEALERS
SEEM TO THINK
THAT THEY'LL LOSE A SALE
IF THEY TELL THE TRUTH,
SO THEY WRAP YOU UP
IN A SNARE WEB OF ASSURANCES
AND EMPTY PROMISES
AND ALL KINDS OF FLATTERY.
OF COURSE, YOU HAVE
NO PROTECTION WHATSOEVER.
I TRIED TO SELL IT BACK
TO THE DEALER.
YOU KNOW WHAT HE OFFERED ME?
50 CENTS ON THE DOLLAR.
SHYSTER.
YOU REALLY GOTTA WATCH OUT
FOR THOSE GUYS.
YES, THAT'S RIGHT.
AND TO THE AVERAGE SALESMAN,
TRUTH AND A SUCCESSFUL SALE
ARE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE.
OH, GOD.
AND, OF COURSE, HONOR,
WELL...
HONOR HAS GONE THE WAY
OF THE HORSE-DRAWN
COMBINE HARVESTER.
WE ARE SCAVENGERS,
PREYING ON AN UNSUSPECTING
PUBLIC'S WEAKNESS.
YOU MAKE A GOOD POINT,
HOWARD.
YES, BUT IT NEED NOT
BE SO.
CALL, LT. HUNTER.
HMM, PERHAPS A LITTLE NIBBLE.
LT. HUNTER.
YES.
YES, THAT'S RIGHT.
WELL, THE HONEST TRUTH IS
THAT I CANNOT PROVIDE
THE MAINTENANCE
THAT THESE THINGS REQUIRE.
I FELT LIKE THAT MAN
ON TELEVISION
WHO WAS BALANCING
THE SPINNING PLATES
ON THE END OF A POLE.
YES, I REPAIRED THE ELECTRICS,
AND THEN THE PLUMBING
WOULD STOP UP,
AND THEN THE BRAKES WENT OUT
AND THE ROOF LEAKED.
IT WAS QUITE A BARRAGE.
[CHUCKLES, DIAL TONE]
HELLO?
MR. PITTMAN?
MR. PITTMAN?
I'M A GOOFBALL, HUH?
WELL, LET ME TELL YOU
SOMETHING, PAL.
A ONE-MAN-BAND ONCE SAVED
50 COPS IN THIS CITY.
UH-HUH, YOU DON'T EVER HEAR
ABOUT THAT.
YOU NEVER READ ABOUT THAT
IN YOUR HISTORY BOOKS.
PIKE LACRAY,
NOVEMBER 17, 1904,
THE OLD POLICE ACADEMY.
PIKE'S WALKING BY ABOUT
MIDNIGHT, AND HE SMELLS SMOKE.
PIKE GOES IN AND PLAYS
"THE THUNDERER" IN SIX PARTS,
SO LOUD THOSE COPS FOLLOWED HIM
THROUGH THE SMOKE TO SAFETY.
AND WHAT DOES HE GET
FOR HIS TROUBLE?
NOTHING.
AN EARLY GRAVE
IN THE POORHOUSE.
YEAH, WELL, THAT'S THE WAY
IT'S ALWAYS BEEN FOR US.
THAT'S HOW IT ALWAYS IS FOR OUR
CONTRIBUTIONS TO SOCIETY.
THEY'RE ALWAYS LOST,
FORGOTTEN.
WHO EVER REMEMBERS MY FATHER,
EMIL MUZEL,
THE WORLD'S LARGEST
ONE-MAN-BAND, 1931.
PLAYS 27 INSTRUMENTS
SIMULTANEOUSLY.
SHOULDERS LIKE AN OAK.
HE WAS CRUSHED TO DEATH.
AND HOW ABOUT ED DORFMAN,
THE GUY WHO COMPOSED
THIS CITY'S OFFICIAL SONG?
50 YEARS, HE DIDN'T MISS
ONE SUNDAY
PLAYING FOR THE KIDS
IN THE ZOO.
THEY THREW HIM INTO A JAIL CELL
NEXT TO LENNY BRUCE,
AND WHO DOES SOCIETY
REMEMBER?
A FOUL-MOUTHED COMIC.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
WHAT?
HI, MA.
WHAT?
NO, I CAN'T DO THAT.
MA...MA...
I AM A 37-YEAR-OLD MAN.
IF I WANT TO LIVE
WITH A WOMAN--
WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP?
YOU'RE EMBARRASSING ME.
NO.
YOU DID NOT YELL
AT YOUR DAUGHTER
WHEN SHE MOVED IN
WITH THAT...SHMEGEGGY-- WHAT'S--
OKAY, OKAY, SO THEY SLEPT
IN SEPARATE ROOMS.
MAYBE ROBIN AND I WILL DO
THE SAME THING, I DON'T KNOW.
YOU STEAL THOSE INSTRUMENTS?
NO, HE WAS STEALING THEM
FROM ME.
I DIDN'T DO NOTHING!
I'M TAKING CHARGE
OF YOUR MAN.
I'M KICKING HIM LOOSE.
[MUZEL]
JUSTICE!
UH, MA, I GOTTA GO.
ALL RIGHT, JUST TELL ME
YOU LOVE ME.
COME ON, TELL ME
YOU LOVE ME.
COME ON, TELL ME.
GOOD.
I LOVE YOU TOO, SWEETHEART.
GOOD-BYE.
[MUZEL ABSENTLY PLAYING
CLARINET]

WHAT'S GOING ON?
MAYBE YOU LEFT YOUR THINKING CAP
AT ROBIN TATAGLIA'S
WHEN YOU CAME TO WORK
TODAY.
WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED
TO MEAN?
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO
WITH ALL THIS JUNK?
[MUZEL BLOWS HORN]
THE TRUCK AT THE DIVISION
PROPERTY WILL TAKE THREE DAYS.
USE A LITTLE
COMMON SENSE, DETECTIVE.
HE WAS OBSTRUCTING
THE SIDEWALK.
HE'S OBSTRUCTING
THE SQUAD ROOM.
LOOK, FROM NOW ON, YOU TOOT
YOUR HORNS IN A PARK.
YOU UNDERSTAND?
OTHERWISE I'LL SEE
THAT YOU GET A CELL.
HEY, DETECTIVE,
WHY DON'T YOU TAKE
A MUSICAL APPRECIATION COURSE?
WHY DON'T YOU TAKE
A BUS?
LEO, HELP HIM OUT, HUH?
LOOK AT THIS VALVE,
IT'S LOOSE.
YEAH, I COULD SUE
YOU GUYS.
THIS WAS WRONG.
I BRING A GUY IN,
AND YOU KICK HIM.
THAT AIN'T KOSHER.
DON'T BE SO SENSITIVE,
DETECTIVE.
IS THIS ABOUT ME QUITTING
THE BOWLING TEAM?
BOWLING'S GOT NOTHING
TO DO WITH ANYTHING.
LOUIS JESSUP.
J-E-S-S-U-P.
SUSPICION OF ROBBERY
AND ASSAULT.
FILE AS EVIDENCE
ONE WELFARE I.D.,
ONE WELFARE CHECK
TO A RUBY BROWN.
HEY, SO I DIDN'T FIND THE CHECK
IN THE STREET.
SHE GAVE ME PERMISSION
TO CASH IT.
MR. JESSUP,
I'M MISS CHAPMAN.
I'LL BE YOUR PUBLIC DEFENDER,
AND I WOULD STRONGLY ADVISE
YOU TURN YOUR BACK
AND SHUT YOUR MOUTH.
OKAY, ON THIS ONE
YOU SIGN RIGHT THERE.
HOLD IT, WHAT'S GOING ON
IN THERE?
- UH, NO WAY.
- NO WAY WHAT?
WHAT'S WRONG, RUBY?
MRS. FURILLO, IS THIS YOUR
COMPLAINANT
ON THE ROB-ASSAULT CASE?
NO. UH-UH.
LOOK, WE'VE GOT A SUSPECT WE'D
LIKE TO PUT IN A LINEUP, MA'AM.
WOULD YOU COME TAKE A LOOK?
THAT'S NOT THE MAN
IN THERE.
RUBY, CAN I TALK TO YOU
IN PRIVATE FOR A MINUTE?
- THERE'S NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT.
- RUBY, YES, THERE IS.
IF YOU WALK OUT NOW, I CAN'T
PROCESS THIS APPLICATION.
COME ON, THIS WAY.
THE CHECK COME YESTERDAY.
I WAKE UP THIS MORNING,
THE CHECK IS GONE.
AND SO WAS LOUIS GONE.
HE SAID IT WAS FOR
SOME TOOLS TO BUY
FOR SOME JOB PROGRAM,
BUT I KNEW
HE'D BE DOWN
AT JACKSON'S PLACE.
SO I WENT DOWN THERE.
AND THAT'S WHERE
WE HAD THE FIGHT.
PLUS, HE TOOK $12.
AND THEN YOU COME INTO IT.
HE'S BEATEN AND STOLEN
FROM YOU BEFORE?
SOME OF THE TIME,
THAT'S SO.
BUT I KNOW LOUIS LOVES ME.
RUBY, THIS MAN HAS
COMMITTED CRIMES AGAINST YOU.
WHY NOT BRING CHARGES?
WHAT AM I GONNA DO?
I CAN'T LIVE WITH HIM, AND--
I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT HIM.
AND I SAY
LET'S QUESTION THAT.
I BET YOU CAN.
I COULD HELP YOU.
YOU CAN'T HELP ME.
DO YOU WANT ME TO?
MA'AM, LOUIS BEEN LIVING
WITH ME FOR FOUR YEARS.
DO YOU WANT ME
TO HELP YOU?
[CRYING]
SOMEBODY GOTTA HELP ME.
'CAUSE I CAN'T GO ON
LIKE THIS.
- I CAN'T.
- ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, NOW THERE ARE TWO
BASIC THINGS WE HAVE TO DO.
FIRST, WE HAVE TO
PROTECT YOU.
WE'LL GET YOU INTO
A BATTERED-WOMEN'S SHELTER
WITH YOUR CHILDREN.
AND SECOND, WE'RE GONNA PUT
THAT CREEP BEHIND BARS.
HOW YOU GONNA DO THAT?
YOU'RE GONNA DO IT.
YOU WERE ROBBED.
YOU'LL TESTIFY AGAINST HIM.
BUT THE TRIAL WON'T
COME UP FOR MONTHS.
WHAT AM I GONNA DO
TILL THEN?
WELL, THE JUDGE WILL PLACE
A HIGH BAIL.
PROBABLY $2,000 TO $5,000.
CAN HE RAISE
THAT KIND OF MONEY?
AND THEN, EVEN IF HE GETS
A JAIL SENTENCE
OF ONLY 30 TO 90 DAYS,
THAT'S STILL GONNA GIVE YOU
PLENTY OF TIME
TO RELOCATE.
HE AIN'T NEVER BEEN
TO JAIL BEFORE.
HE BEEN BUSTED,
BUT HE ALWAYS GET OUT
ON SOME JOB PROGRAM
OR SOME DAMN THING.
NOT THIS TIME.
YOU TESTIFY,
HE GOES TO JAIL...OKAY?
OKAY.

BOOSTED BY YOUR
FIRST PROPOSITION!
SIX DAYS ON THE DELIVERY,

LET'S GO.
[MEN LAUGHING]
EVERYTHING OKAY,

[DIPIANO]
IT'S OKAY, IT'S ALL RIGHT.
JOEY, I'M GONNA TURN AROUND

FOR WHAT?
BECAUSE I WANT

WHAT?
HEY, MR. D, YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH.
WHAT HAPPENED?
KID SHOT HIMSELF.
DIPIANO KILLING A GUY MAKES HIM
A POP IN HIS OWN RIGHT.
NO QUESTION.
BUT YOU STILL WANT THE PEOPLE
HE MOVES TO.
OF COURSE, WHAT YOU REALLY WANT
IS TO FOLLOW THOSE PEOPLE,
SEE WHO THEY MOVE TO.
IF NOT, THEN YOU GET YOURSELF
ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS
WITH DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY,
THE WHOLE THING CAN GO OVERSEAS.
NOW YOU GOT YOUR HANDS
IN YOUR SHIRT,
YOU WIND UP OUTSMARTING

OKAY.
HE JUST STOOD THERE
WHILE SIX OF 'EM ROBBED ME!
GET THIS, HE PUNCHED OUT
A NEWSPAPER VENDOR.
HE SAID HE JUST STOOD AROUND
WHILE A BUNCH OF GANG KIDS
RIPPED OFF HIS INSTRUMENTS.
THEY TOOK MY WHOLE KIT.

- YEP.
PUT HIM IN GARDEN LEVEL.
BOOK HIM LATER.
HEY, IT WAS DEATH IN THE PARK.
THERE WAS NOBODY THERE!
TELL HIM, BUZZY!
HMM, HOW WOULD I RATE IT?
WELL, I'D PUT IT
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN
GOOD AND VERY GOOD.
WELL, SHE HAS
A SLIGHT TENDENCY
TO PULL TO ONE SIDE,
WHICH IS A MINOR GLITCH
IN THE BRAKES
OR THE STEERING--
WELL, I NEVER DID GET
TO THE BOTTOM OF IT.
NO, IT'S JUST A MATTER
OF ADJUSTMENT.

IS GENERALLY CONSIDERED TO BE
THE CADILLAC OF MOTOR HOMES.
OH, NO, NO, NO.
"PEGASUS" IS A NICKNAME
OF MY COINING.
WELL, I SUPPOSE IT'S FOR
THAT WINDSWEPT FEELING
ONE GETS COURSING
THE OPEN ROAD.
I SEE.
SIR, IF YOU WILL FORGIVE ME,
I THINK THAT WE ARE BOTH
DOING PEGASUS A DISSERVICE
BY RELYING ON MY POOR POWERS
OF DESCRIPTION.
WHY DON'T YOU SEE IT,
AND THEN YOU CAN FORM
YOUR OWN IMPRESSION.
OH, YES, WELL,
I WILL MAKE 4:00 CONVENIENT.
DO YOU HAVE THE ADDRESS?
[CHUCKLES]
I'M LOOKING FORWARD
TO SEEING YOU.
ANYWAY, HE WANTED YOU
TO KNOW THAT.
UH, YOU SHOULDN'T BE TALKING
TO MISS BROWN.
ON THE CONTRARY, IT'S HER RIGHT
TO TALK TO ME.
SHE SAID THAT THE JUDGE WILL
SET BAIL FOR LOUIS,
BUT THEN, THERE'S
ANOTHER JUDGE LATER ON
THAT MIGHT CHANGE IT.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
I'M TALKING ABOUT REGARDLESS
OF HOW BAIL IS SET TODAY,
LATER, THERE'LL BE
ANOTHER HEARING.
MR. JESSUP WILL GET
ANOTHER CHANCE.
RUBY, SHE'S JUST TRYING
TO SCARE YOU OFF
OF WHAT WE'RE DOING.
I'M NOT TRYING
TO SCARE ANYBODY.
THESE PEOPLE HAVE
A RELATIONSHIP.
IF THERE'S PROBLEMS,
LET'S SOLVE THEM.
LET'S NOT PUT PEOPLE
IN JAIL.
OH, COME ON, RUBY,
WE'RE DUE IN COURT.
IF HE GETS OUT,
WHAT AM I GONNA DO THEN?
LOUIS AIN'T STUPID.
HE'LL FIND ME SOMEHOW.
IT'LL BE OKAY.
WHERE'S YOUR COAT?
YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULDN'T
HAVE TALKED TO HER.
WHERE IS YOUR CONSCIENCE?
WHERE IT BELONGS,
MRS. FURILLO, IN MY JOB!
SOLID. NOW, THEY DON'T BUILD
A COACH
AS SOLID AS THIS TODAY.
YOU CAN HAVE
YOUR FIBERGLASS.
FOR ME, IF IT ISN'T ALUMINUM,
I'M NOT INTERESTED.
IT'S REAL NICE.
AMPLE HEADROOM THROUGHOUT,
AS YOU CAN SEE.
OH, OF COURSE,
THAT DOESN'T CONCERN
A LITTLE FELLA LIKE YOU,
BUT YOU MIGHT APPRECIATE
THE SQUARE FOOTAGE HERE
FOR YOUR TOYS,
AND A FISHING ROD FOR THOSE
WEEKENDS WITH YOUR DAD.
IT'S GREAT.
HAS IT BEEN A GOOD MOTOR HOME
TO OWN, MR. HUNTER?
WELL, I AM HOPELESSLY
PREJUDICED, MR. MCKEEVER.
I-- I WOULD LIKE
TO DISQUALIFY MYSELF
FROM RESPONDING.
OH, I--
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.
YOU'RE THINKING WHY AM
I SELLING IN THE FIRST PLACE?
IF YOU KNEW THE SACRIFICE
THAT THIS REPRESENTS,
AND HOW I HAVE ANGUISHED OVER
PARTING WITH PEGASUS,
OR WHETHER I SHOULD
HOLD ONTO HER
AND TRY TO FINANCE HER
AND THE SAILBOAT BOTH--
BUT THAT--
TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION,
SHE'S BEEN A DELIGHT.
WHAT IF I TOOK HER
FOR A TEST SPIN?
WOULD THAT BE OKAY?
OH, OF COURSE.
UH, YOU WOULDN'T MIND WATCHING
OUR CAR FOR US, WOULD YOU?
THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
YOU, UH--
YOU MEAN A SOLO DRIVE?
OH, IF YOU'RE WORRIED,
HERE, TAKE THE KEYS.
OH, OF COURSE.
SURE.
HERE WE GO.
HOP UP THERE.
I THINK SHE'LL START RIGHT UP.
RIGHT.
[ENGINE STARTS]
THE PEOPLE ASK $5,000 BAIL.
WE ALLEGE A PATTERN
OF REPEATED ROBBERIES
AND ASSAULTS.
MS. BROWN HAS FINALLY
HAD ENOUGH.
DOMESTIC SITUATION, JUDGE.
MR. SANCHEZ IS HERE FROM
THE JEFFERSON JOB ACTION CORPS
TO VOUCH FOR MR. JESSUP.
$5,000 BAIL,
10% CASH.
YOU HAVE TO SIGN HERE.
MS. BROWN?
I DON'T WANT TO, JUDGE.
LET HIM GO.
RUBY, COME ON,
WE'RE JUST ONE STEP AWAY.
JUST TELL HIM NOT
TO HIT ME NO MORE, OKAY?
I CAN DO THAT, MS. BROWN,
BUT I CAN'T HOLD HIM
UNLESS YOU SIGN.
YOUR HONOR,
MS. BROWN IS AFRAID,
EVEN THOUGH
YOU'VE SET BAIL TODAY,
THAT AFTER A HEARING,
THAT BAIL MIGHT BE REDUCED.
CAN'T HELP THAT.
IT'S TRUE.
JUDGE, IF I COULD JUST SAY, I'M
GONNA TRY REAL HARD WITH RUBY,
'CAUSE I DO CARE
ABOUT THE WOMAN.
SO IF WE HAD A PROBLEM
IT COULD BE
FROM MY JOB SITUATION,
WHICH IS GONNA CHANGE, JUDGE.
I HOPE SO.
OR I'LL SEND YOU
UP THE RIVER TILL CHRISTMAS.
DISMISSED.
NEXT CASE.
[GAVEL BANGS]
HOLD IT!
PLEASE, JUDGE--
FAY FURILLO.
- I'LL SWEAR OUT THE COMPLAINT.
-YOU WILL?
WELL, I SAW THE END
OF THE ATTACK.
THIS IS ABSURD.
PEOPLE WILL FILE A NEW COMPLAINT
IN ITS ACCUSATIONS.
JUDGE, THIS IS THE MOST
IRREGULAR PROCEEDINGS
I'VE WITNESSED IN MY TWO YEARS
WORKING THESE COURTS.
IF YOU ACCEPT THIS COMPLAINT,
I DEMAND AN IMMEDIATE HEARING
ON ITS ADEQUACY.
MS. D.A., WE'VE
LEAPFROGGED HERE
TO YOUR SIDE'S BENEFIT.
IF THE COURT REQUIRES A HEARING
TO HOLD MR. JESSUP, ALL RIGHT.
WITH A COURT STIPULATION
AS TO COURT RECORDS AS ENTERED,
PEOPLE REST.
- SO STIPULATED.
- ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.
DEFENSE CALLS
ONE WITNESS ONLY--
OFFICER ANDREW RENKO.
NOW WHAT?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
IF YOU WON'T STICK UP
FOR YOURSELF, I WILL.
YOU SWEAR TO TELL THE TRUTH,
THE WHOLE TRUTH,
SO HELP YOU GOD?
I DO.
OFFICER RENKO,
IS THIS A TRUE COPY
OF YOUR INCIDENT REPORT,
FILE NUMBER B7639,
REGARDING THE ALLEGED ASSAULT
ON RUBY BROWN THIS MORNING?
YES, MA'AM.
KINDLY READ THE LAST SENTENCE.
"OTHER WITNESS,
FAY FURILLO, SAYS
SHE SAW NO PART
OF THE CRIME.
PEOPLE WITHDRAW THE CHARGES
WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO REINSTATE.
SO ORDERED.
REMEMBER WHAT I TOLD YOU,
MR. JESSUP.
AND YOU, MRS. FURILLO,
IXNAY ON THE IBFAYS.
[GAVEL BANGS]
[JUDGE]
TEN-MINUTE RECESS.
IF MISS BROWN CHANGES HER MIND,
WE'LL START OVER.
YOU ARE LUCKY I'M NOT ASKING
FOR A PERJURY COUNT.
IT JUST WASN'T
MEANT TO BE, THAT'S ALL.
RUBY, WHAT ABOUT THE SHELTER?
I CAN STILL TAKE YOU THERE.
SO HE CAN BE WAITING FOR ME
ON THE CORNER
WHEN I WALK OUT
IN THE STREET?
NO WAY.
I JUST WANT MY WELFARE CHECK,
THAT'S ALL.
YOU KNOW, I SAW YOUR BUS HEADING
ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY, MAN.
OH, NO, WHAT WAS WITH
A PROSPECTIVE BUYER AND HIS SON.
YOU MEAN, YOU JUST LET
SOME GUY JUST DRIVE OFF
IN YOUR BUS LIKE THAT?
NO, NO, IT'S A TEST DRIVE.
WELL, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
THEY'RE COMING BACK?
[LAUGHS]
COLLATERAL.
COLLATERAL, MY GOOD MAN.
[LAUGHS]
LOOKS LIKE A FORD TO ME.
WHAT'S GOING ON,
LIEUTENANT?
IS THIS YOUR CAR?
NOW, WHERE AM I GONNA GET
A CAR LIKE THIS, OSSIFER?
NO, IT BELONGS TO A FELLOW
WHO'S LOOKING AT THE PEGASUS.
YEAH? WELL, THE REPORT SAYS
IT WAS STOLEN THIS MORNING.
IT'S HOT.

TO STORE THIS JUNK.
[CYMBALS CLASH]
LOOK, I BEEN THINKING
ABOUT THIS ALL DAY,
SO I'M GONNA SAY IT
RIGHT NOW.
ALL THE TIME I WAS LIVING
IN THAT TRAILER,
IT WAS LIKE
I LOST EVERYTHING--
MY GIRL, MY PLACE,
EVERYTHING.
YOU KINDA TOOK ME
UNDER YOUR WING.
YOU DID--
YOU GAVE ME YOUR FRIENDSHIP.
I WAS, LIKE,
IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS CRISIS,
AND YOU PULLED ME
THROUGH IT.
AND NOW, ROBIN AND ME
ARE BACK,
AND IT'S LIKE I GOT MY LIFE
BACK TOGETHER AGAIN,

[INSTRUMENTS CRASHING,

HIS HUMILIATION.
I RUN OUT IN THE HALLWAY
TO ESCAPE,
BUT HE CAUGHT ME
OUT THERE.
WHEN HE FELL, I TOOK
THE KNIFE AWAY FROM HIM,
AND I CUT HIM.
BUT I SURE DIDN'T MEAN
TO KILL THE MAN.
RUBY, WE'VE GOT THREE WITNESSES

I CAN'T PROMISE, BUT I THINK

YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN.
OH, WELL, FIRST

HOW MUCH TO MAINTAIN

I LIKE THAT I CAN TALK
TO YOU.
I FEEL LIKE I CAN REALLY
OPEN UP TO YOU.
I REALLY WANT TO GET
TO KNOW YOU BETTER.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE
SEEING HARRY.
N--
I LIKE HARRY.
HARRY'S--
HARRY'S A GOOD FRIEND.
I THOUGHT--
I DIDN'T KNOW.
I'VE ONLY KNOWN YOU
FOR TODAY, HENRY,

I'M VERY...
ATTRACTED TO YOU.
MY HEART IS POUNDING.
MY HEART IS POUNDING TOO.
MAYBE I'M NOT REALLY

YOU DON'T THINK I'M--
I'M BAD
OR EVIL OR SOMETHING?
GOD, NO!
I THINK YOU'RE GREAT.
YOU DO?
HENRY,
WOULD IT BE OKAY
IF WE JUST GOT THE CHECK?
I DON'T REALLY FEEL

A TWO-WAY STREET!
THIS GIRL'S DONE NOTHING

$10,000.

- FBI HAS NO OBJECTION.
- OF COURSE.
IT'S NOT THE FBI'S MONEY,

BUT THE DEAL WAS MADE,
AND A LOT OF OURS, AND THE LIVES

YES, VERY COMPLETE.
VERY, VERY MEANINGFUL

THANK YOU, MA'AM.
I GOT FOUR KIDS AT HOME
WITH A NEIGHBOR

WELL, WE HAVE MEDICAL, LEGAL,

[CHUCKLES]
WELL...
LT. GOLDBLUME WILL BE
LOOKING OUT FOR YOU.

AND OFFICER COFFEE, RIGHT.
GEE, THAT LOOKS
SO TECHNICAL.
YOU BARELY FEEL IT
ONCE IT'S ON.
HOW DOES IT GO?
THE PACK STRAPS UNDERNEATH.
THE MICROPHONE HOOKS

OKAY.
I GUESS WE BETTER
GET ME A BRA, THEN.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

A) YOU STINK LIKE A STILL.
B) YOU REMIND ME OF SOMEONE

C) LET ME SEE SOME I.D.
[HORN HONKING]

YOU RUBY BROWN?
I FOUND THAT.
IT WAS LAYIN' ON THE STREET.
WHAT A COINCIDENCE A ROB-ASSAULT
VICTIM ABOUT HALF AN HOUR AGO.
OKAY, YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.
UP AGAINST THE CAR.
YOU GOT THE RIGHT
TO REMAIN SILENT.
WHAT ABOUT THIS CREEP?
HOW 'BOUT BUSTIN' HIM?
HE'S NEXT.
YOU WANNA GO IN TOO?
YEAH, TURN ON ME.
TURN ON THE VICTIM.
KEEP RUNNIN'--
KEEP RUNNIN' YOUR MOUTH.
I'D LIKE TO TELL YOU
THAT THIS WAS FIRST INTRODUCED
IN NEW ORLEANS
AT BOB'S HIDEAWAY
IN ABOUT 19 AND 31.
[BELKER]
FREEZE!
HEY, YOU NUTBURGER,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
YOU GOTTA STOP BLOCKING
THE SIDEWALK!
HEY, HIT AND RUN,
WHY DON'T YOU HELP ME
PICK UP, HUH--
COME ON!
- THAT'S IT!
- WHAT?
I'M A POLICEMAN, SPITBALL,
AND YOU ARE UNDER ARREST.
HUH? HUH?
NO PLAYING NEAR RESTAURANTS,
CHURCHES, PARKING LOTS,
SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS.
NO PLAYING BEFORE 9:00 A.M.
OR AFTER 1:00 A.M.
HEY, WHY DON'T YOU GUYS
JUST SHOOT US ON SIGHT?
OPEN SEASON
ON THE ONE-MAN-BAND.
WE'RE FREAKS, RIGHT?
WIPE US OFF THE FACE
OF THE EARTH,
LIKE THE CHINESE
WITH ALL THEM DOGS.
SHUT UP!
GIVE HIM THE TUBA!
IT'S A SOUSAPHONE,
NOT A TUBA!
WHAT'S, UH--
WHAT'S THE CHARGE, MICK?
INTERFERING
WITH A POLICE OFFICER,
OBSTRUCTING A PUBLIC
THOROUGHFARE.
PERSECUTION,
HUMILIATION, DEHUMANIZATION!
[GROWLS]

NAME?

YOU KNOW, I COULD MAKE
A QUINTET OUT OF THIS DESKTOP.
THAT'S A PERFECT A-FLAT.
GET YOUR HANDS OFF
OF THERE
OR I'LL BREAK 'EM OFF
AT THE WRIST.
$21,000 OR B.O.?
THAT'S "BEST OFFER," RAY.
ARE YOU INTERESTED?
- NOT REALLY.
- WELL, YOU'RE A SMART MAN.
I HEAR IT'S JUST A LEMON.
[HUNTER CHUCKLES]
WELL, REALITY WAS SOMEWHAT LESS
THAN FANTASY.
SEE, THESE RV DEALERS
SEEM TO THINK
THAT THEY'LL LOSE A SALE
IF THEY TELL THE TRUTH,
SO THEY WRAP YOU UP
IN A SNARE WEB OF ASSURANCES
AND EMPTY PROMISES
AND ALL KINDS OF FLATTERY.
OF COURSE, YOU HAVE
NO PROTECTION WHATSOEVER.
I TRIED TO SELL IT BACK
TO THE DEALER.
YOU KNOW WHAT HE OFFERED ME?
50 CENTS ON THE DOLLAR.
SHYSTER.
YOU REALLY GOTTA WATCH OUT
FOR THOSE GUYS.
YES, THAT'S RIGHT.
AND TO THE AVERAGE SALESMAN,
TRUTH AND A SUCCESSFUL SALE
ARE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE.
OH, GOD.
AND, OF COURSE, HONOR,
WELL...
HONOR HAS GONE THE WAY
OF THE HORSE-DRAWN

WE ARE SCAVENGERS,
PREYING ON AN UNSUSPECTING

YOU MAKE A GOOD POINT,
HOWARD.
YES, BUT IT NEED NOT
BE SO.
CALL, LT. HUNTER.
HMM, PERHAPS A LITTLE NIBBLE.
LT. HUNTER.
YES.
YES, THAT'S RIGHT.
WELL, THE HONEST TRUTH IS
THAT I CANNOT PROVIDE
THE MAINTENANCE
THAT THESE THINGS REQUIRE.
I FELT LIKE THAT MAN
ON TELEVISION
WHO WAS BALANCING
THE SPINNING PLATES
ON THE END OF A POLE.
YES, I REPAIRED THE ELECTRICS,
AND THEN THE PLUMBING
WOULD STOP UP,
AND THEN THE BRAKES WENT OUT
AND THE ROOF LEAKED.
IT WAS QUITE A BARRAGE.
[CHUCKLES, DIAL TONE]
HELLO?
MR. PITTMAN?
MR. PITTMAN?
I'M A GOOFBALL, HUH?
WELL, LET ME TELL YOU
SOMETHING, PAL.
A ONE-MAN-BAND ONCE SAVED
50 COPS IN THIS CITY.
UH-HUH, YOU DON'T EVER HEAR
ABOUT THAT.
YOU NEVER READ ABOUT THAT
IN YOUR HISTORY BOOKS.
PIKE LACRAY,
NOVEMBER 17, 1904,
THE OLD POLICE ACADEMY.
PIKE'S WALKING BY ABOUT
MIDNIGHT, AND HE SMELLS SMOKE.
PIKE GOES IN AND PLAYS
"THE THUNDERER" IN SIX PARTS,
SO LOUD THOSE COPS FOLLOWED HIM
THROUGH THE SMOKE TO SAFETY.
AND WHAT DOES HE GET
FOR HIS TROUBLE?
NOTHING.
AN EARLY GRAVE
IN THE POORHOUSE.
YEAH, WELL, THAT'S THE WAY
IT'S ALWAYS BEEN FOR US.
THAT'S HOW IT ALWAYS IS FOR OUR
CONTRIBUTIONS TO SOCIETY.
THEY'RE ALWAYS LOST,
FORGOTTEN.
WHO EVER REMEMBERS MY FATHER,
EMIL MUZEL,
THE WORLD'S LARGEST
ONE-MAN-BAND, 1931.
PLAYS 27 INSTRUMENTS
SIMULTANEOUSLY.
SHOULDERS LIKE AN OAK.
HE WAS CRUSHED TO DEATH.
AND HOW ABOUT ED DORFMAN,
THE GUY WHO COMPOSED
THIS CITY'S OFFICIAL SONG?
50 YEARS, HE DIDN'T MISS
ONE SUNDAY
PLAYING FOR THE KIDS
IN THE ZOO.
THEY THREW HIM INTO A JAIL CELL
NEXT TO LENNY BRUCE,
AND WHO DOES SOCIETY
REMEMBER?
A FOUL-MOUTHED COMIC.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
WHAT?
HI, MA.
WHAT?
NO, I CAN'T DO THAT.
MA...MA...
I AM A 37-YEAR-OLD MAN.
IF I WANT TO LIVE
WITH A WOMAN--
WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP?
YOU'RE EMBARRASSING ME.
NO.
YOU DID NOT YELL
AT YOUR DAUGHTER
WHEN SHE MOVED IN
WITH THAT...SHMEGEGGY-- WHAT'S--
OKAY, OKAY, SO THEY SLEPT
IN SEPARATE ROOMS.
MAYBE ROBIN AND I WILL DO
THE SAME THING, I DON'T KNOW.
YOU STEAL THOSE INSTRUMENTS?
NO, HE WAS STEALING THEM
FROM ME.
I DIDN'T DO NOTHING!
I'M TAKING CHARGE
OF YOUR MAN.
I'M KICKING HIM LOOSE.
[MUZEL]
JUSTICE!
UH, MA, I GOTTA GO.
ALL RIGHT, JUST TELL ME
YOU LOVE ME.
COME ON, TELL ME
YOU LOVE ME.
COME ON, TELL ME.
GOOD.
I LOVE YOU TOO, SWEETHEART.
GOOD-BYE.

TO MEAN?
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO
WITH ALL THIS JUNK?
[MUZEL BLOWS HORN]
THE TRUCK AT THE DIVISION
PROPERTY WILL TAKE THREE DAYS.
USE A LITTLE
COMMON SENSE, DETECTIVE.
HE WAS OBSTRUCTING
THE SIDEWALK.
HE'S OBSTRUCTING
THE SQUAD ROOM.
LOOK, FROM NOW ON, YOU TOOT
YOUR HORNS IN A PARK.
YOU UNDERSTAND?
OTHERWISE I'LL SEE
THAT YOU GET A CELL.
HEY, DETECTIVE,
WHY DON'T YOU TAKE
A MUSICAL APPRECIATION COURSE?
WHY DON'T YOU TAKE
A BUS?
LEO, HELP HIM OUT, HUH?
LOOK AT THIS VALVE,
IT'S LOOSE.
YEAH, I COULD SUE
YOU GUYS.
THIS WAS WRONG.
I BRING A GUY IN,
AND YOU KICK HIM.
THAT AIN'T KOSHER.

SUSPICION OF ROBBERY
AND ASSAULT.
FILE AS EVIDENCE
ONE WELFARE I.D.,
ONE WELFARE CHECK
TO A RUBY BROWN.
HEY, SO I DIDN'T FIND THE CHECK
IN THE STREET.
SHE GAVE ME PERMISSION
TO CASH IT.
MR. JESSUP,
I'M MISS CHAPMAN.
I'LL BE YOUR PUBLIC DEFENDER,
AND I WOULD STRONGLY ADVISE
YOU TURN YOUR BACK
AND SHUT YOUR MOUTH.
OKAY, ON THIS ONE
YOU SIGN RIGHT THERE.
HOLD IT, WHAT'S GOING ON
IN THERE?
- UH, NO WAY.
- NO WAY WHAT?
WHAT'S WRONG, RUBY?
MRS. FURILLO, IS THIS YOUR
COMPLAINANT
ON THE ROB-ASSAULT CASE?
NO. UH-UH.
LOOK, WE'VE GOT A SUSPECT WE'D
LIKE TO PUT IN A LINEUP, MA'AM.
WOULD YOU COME TAKE A LOOK?
THAT'S NOT THE MAN
IN THERE.
RUBY, CAN I TALK TO YOU
IN PRIVATE FOR A MINUTE?
- THERE'S NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT.
- RUBY, YES, THERE IS.
IF YOU WALK OUT NOW, I CAN'T
PROCESS THIS APPLICATION.
COME ON, THIS WAY.
THE CHECK COME YESTERDAY.
I WAKE UP THIS MORNING,
THE CHECK IS GONE.
AND SO WAS LOUIS GONE.
HE SAID IT WAS FOR
SOME TOOLS TO BUY
FOR SOME JOB PROGRAM,
BUT I KNEW
HE'D BE DOWN
AT JACKSON'S PLACE.
SO I WENT DOWN THERE.
AND THAT'S WHERE
WE HAD THE FIGHT.
PLUS, HE TOOK $12.
AND THEN YOU COME INTO IT.
HE'S BEATEN AND STOLEN
FROM YOU BEFORE?
SOME OF THE TIME,
THAT'S SO.
BUT I KNOW LOUIS LOVES ME.
RUBY, THIS MAN HAS
COMMITTED CRIMES AGAINST YOU.
WHY NOT BRING CHARGES?
WHAT AM I GONNA DO?
I CAN'T LIVE WITH HIM, AND--
I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT HIM.
AND I SAY
LET'S QUESTION THAT.
I BET YOU CAN.
I COULD HELP YOU.
YOU CAN'T HELP ME.
DO YOU WANT ME TO?
MA'AM, LOUIS BEEN LIVING
WITH ME FOR FOUR YEARS.
DO YOU WANT ME
TO HELP YOU?
[CRYING]
SOMEBODY GOTTA HELP ME.
'CAUSE I CAN'T GO ON
LIKE THIS.
- I CAN'T.
- ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, NOW THERE ARE TWO
BASIC THINGS WE HAVE TO DO.
FIRST, WE HAVE TO
PROTECT YOU.
WE'LL GET YOU INTO
A BATTERED-WOMEN'S SHELTER
WITH YOUR CHILDREN.
AND SECOND, WE'RE GONNA PUT
THAT CREEP BEHIND BARS.
HOW YOU GONNA DO THAT?
YOU'RE GONNA DO IT.
YOU WERE ROBBED.
YOU'LL TESTIFY AGAINST HIM.
BUT THE TRIAL WON'T
COME UP FOR MONTHS.
WHAT AM I GONNA DO
TILL THEN?
WELL, THE JUDGE WILL PLACE
A HIGH BAIL.
PROBABLY $2,000 TO $5,000.
CAN HE RAISE
THAT KIND OF MONEY?
AND THEN, EVEN IF HE GETS
A JAIL SENTENCE
OF ONLY 30 TO 90 DAYS,
THAT'S STILL GONNA GIVE YOU
PLENTY OF TIME
TO RELOCATE.
HE AIN'T NEVER BEEN
TO JAIL BEFORE.
HE BEEN BUSTED,
BUT HE ALWAYS GET OUT
ON SOME JOB PROGRAM
OR SOME DAMN THING.
NOT THIS TIME.
YOU TESTIFY,
HE GOES TO JAIL...OKAY?
OKAY.

YEAH.
WHAT HAPPENED?

A POP IN HIS OWN RIGHT.
NO QUESTION.

A SLIGHT TENDENCY
TO PULL TO ONE SIDE,
WHICH IS A MINOR GLITCH

TO SEEING YOU.

ON THE CONTRARY, IT'S HER RIGHT
TO TALK TO ME.
SHE SAID THAT THE JUDGE WILL
SET BAIL FOR LOUIS,
BUT THEN, THERE'S
ANOTHER JUDGE LATER ON
THAT MIGHT CHANGE IT.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
I'M TALKING ABOUT REGARDLESS
OF HOW BAIL IS SET TODAY,
LATER, THERE'LL BE
ANOTHER HEARING.

ANOTHER CHANCE.

IT'LL BE OKAY.

HAVE TALKED TO HER.
WHERE IS YOUR CONSCIENCE?
WHERE IT BELONGS,

AND A FISHING ROD FOR THOSE
WEEKENDS WITH YOUR DAD.
IT'S GREAT.
HAS IT BEEN A GOOD MOTOR HOME
TO OWN, MR. HUNTER?
WELL, I AM HOPELESSLY
PREJUDICED, MR. MCKEEVER.
I-- I WOULD LIKE
TO DISQUALIFY MYSELF
FROM RESPONDING.
OH, I--
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.
YOU'RE THINKING WHY AM
I SELLING IN THE FIRST PLACE?
IF YOU KNEW THE SACRIFICE
THAT THIS REPRESENTS,
AND HOW I HAVE ANGUISHED OVER
PARTING WITH PEGASUS,
OR WHETHER I SHOULD
HOLD ONTO HER
AND TRY TO FINANCE HER
AND THE SAILBOAT BOTH--
BUT THAT--
TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION,
SHE'S BEEN A DELIGHT.
WHAT IF I TOOK HER
FOR A TEST SPIN?
WOULD THAT BE OKAY?
OH, OF COURSE.
UH, YOU WOULDN'T MIND WATCHING
OUR CAR FOR US, WOULD YOU?
THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
YOU, UH--
YOU MEAN A SOLO DRIVE?
OH, IF YOU'RE WORRIED,
HERE, TAKE THE KEYS.
OH, OF COURSE.

HERE WE GO.
HOP UP THERE.
I THINK SHE'LL START RIGHT UP.
RIGHT.

BUT I CAN'T HOLD HIM
UNLESS YOU SIGN.

EVEN THOUGH
YOU'VE SET BAIL TODAY,
THAT AFTER A HEARING,
THAT BAIL MIGHT BE REDUCED.
CAN'T HELP THAT.
IT'S TRUE.

GONNA TRY REAL HARD WITH RUBY,
'CAUSE I DO CARE
ABOUT THE WOMAN.
SO IF WE HAD A PROBLEM
IT COULD BE
FROM MY JOB SITUATION,
WHICH IS GONNA CHANGE, JUDGE.
I HOPE SO.
OR I'LL SEND YOU
UP THE RIVER TILL CHRISTMAS.

WELL, IT GOES
A LONG DISTANCE, STAN.
DON'T WORRY, HOWARD,
MAYBE IT WILL BREAK DOWN.
HOW FAR CAN HE GET
IN A 29-FOOT LEMON?
OH, FAY, LISTEN, I HEARD
WHAT HAPPENED IN COURT.
TOMORROW?
CAN WE TALK ABOUT IT
TOMORROW, FRANK, PLEASE?
CAPTAIN, CAPTAIN?
YOU MADE YOURSELF
A LIFETIME FRIEND AT THE BUREAU.
THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW.
AND I CAN TAKE HIM
OFF YOUR HANDS FOR YOU NOW.
I'LL TAKE HIM DOWN
TO FEDERAL DETENTION,
DO THE PROCESSING--
I'D LIKE TO HOLD HIM THERE.
WELL, AS SOON AS WE BOOK HIM
ON OUR MURDER.
OH, ABSOLUTELY.
UH, HENRY, GOOD WORK.
- THANKS.
- YOU OKAY?
- I'M FINE.
LISTEN, YOU WANT TO
HAVE DINNER TONIGHT?
- MY TREAT.
- TOMORROW, OKAY?
GINA WANTS TO TAKE ME OUT
FOR A LITTLE THANK YOU DINNER.
HEY, GINA, WE CAN START
CALLING YOU
AN HEIRESS AGAIN, HUH?
YEAH, I'M STILL
A LITTLE SHAKY HERE
WELL, IT DEFINITELY GOT
SCARY THERE AT THE END.
YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN
THE WAY HENRY HANDLED IT.
YEAH, I BET.
WELL, YOU KNOW, POLICE,
WE FACE THAT KIND
OF SITUATION EVERY DAY.
- YOU SAVED MY LIFE.
- MY PLEASURE, GINA.
SO, GINA, WHAT DO YOU SAY
WE GO OUT AND HAVE
A NICE, QUIET
VICTORY CELEBRATION?
CARE TO JOIN US
FOR A DRINK, LIEUTENANT?
UH, I'M SORRY, HARRY,
HENRY AND I ARE GOING
TO THE RED LION.
I SEE.
WELL, IN THAT CA--
YOU WANT TO COME
JOIN US, HENRY?
NO, THAT'S OKAY.
I REALLY KIND OF FEEL
LIKE SOUVLAKI.
WELL, I GOT A LOT
OF THINGS TO DO.
YOU WANT TO COME SIT DOWN?
- I'LL JUST BE A FEW MINUTES.
- YEAH, OKAY.
COME OVER HERE.
GINA!
MOVE, PLEASE.
GONNA MOVE?
MOVE OUT OF THE WAY.
[SHOUTING]
MAN WITH A TUBA HERE!
[INSTRUMENTS CLANGING]
YOU WANNA MOVE?
ALL RIGHT, DETECTIVE BELKER!
WHERE'D THIS STUFF
COME FROM?
IT WAS STOLEN PROPERTY,
I RECOVERED IT.
WELL, GET IT OUT OF HERE.
I ALREADY TOLD YOU ONCE
I GOT NO ROOM
TO STORE THIS JUNK.
[CYMBALS CLASH]
LOOK, I BEEN THINKING
ABOUT THIS ALL DAY,
SO I'M GONNA SAY IT
RIGHT NOW.
ALL THE TIME I WAS LIVING
IN THAT TRAILER,
IT WAS LIKE
I LOST EVERYTHING--
MY GIRL, MY PLACE,
EVERYTHING.
YOU KINDA TOOK ME
UNDER YOUR WING.
YOU DID--
YOU GAVE ME YOUR FRIENDSHIP.
I WAS, LIKE,
IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS CRISIS,
AND YOU PULLED ME
THROUGH IT.
AND NOW, ROBIN AND ME
ARE BACK,
AND IT'S LIKE I GOT MY LIFE
BACK TOGETHER AGAIN,
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, YOU'RE
ACTING ALL,
I DON'T KNOW, WEIRD.
HURT.
- JEALOUS.
- JEALOUS... ME?
- OF WHAT?
- I DON'T KNOW.
ROBIN.
DON'T FLATTER YOURSELF,
DETECTIVE.
WE TALKED ABOUT IT.
WE WERE HOPING YOU COULD
COME OVER FOR DINNER TOMORROW.
I DON'T THINK SO.
NOW, LET'S GET THIS STUFF
OUT OF THE WAY AT LEASE, PLEASE.
[INSTRUMENTS CRASHING,
CLANGING]
OKAY, HERE'S YOUR STUFF.
WHAT CAN I SAY?
"GRAZIE."
I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT
WHAT YOU SAID.
WE BOTH COULD BEND
A LITTLE BIT, OKAY?
NOW, THERE ARE SUBWAY ENTRANCES
OFF THE HILL.
DETECTIVE, I AM DEEPLY INDEBTED
TO YOU FOR THIS,
AND I INTEND
TO REPAY YOU.
ALL RIGHT,
STAY OUT OF TROUBLE,
AND DO YOURSELF
A FAVOR.
GO A LITTLE EASY
ON THE CYMBALS.
RIGHT.
RIGHT. GOT IT.
- LARUE, WASHINGTON.
- YEAH?
WE GOT A STABBING HOMICIDE,
1049 JEFFERSON.
WHAT WAS THAT ADDRESS?
1049 JEFFERSON.
A BROWN? A RUBY BROWN?
VICTIM?
UH-UH.
VICTIM LOUIS JESSUP.
BUT WE GOT A WOMAN SUSPECT.
THAT'S MY CLIENT.
THAT'S MY SITUATION.
COME WITH US, MRS. FURILLO.
MAYBE YOU'VE GOT SOME INFO
FOR US.
DAMN! WAIT,
LET ME GET MY COAT.
[CHILD CRYING,
INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[BROWN]
HE GOT SO DRUNK, LIKE HE GETS,
SAYING HE WAS GONNA KILL ME
AND THE BABIES BOTH,
ON ACCOUNT OF
HIS HUMILIATION.
I RUN OUT IN THE HALLWAY
TO ESCAPE,
BUT HE CAUGHT ME
OUT THERE.
WHEN HE FELL, I TOOK
THE KNIFE AWAY FROM HIM,
AND I CUT HIM.
BUT I SURE DIDN'T MEAN
TO KILL THE MAN.
RUBY, WE'VE GOT THREE WITNESSES
DOWN THE HALL.
I CAN'T PROMISE, BUT I THINK
YOU'RE GONNA BE OKAY ON THIS
ON GROUNDS OF SELF-DEFENSE.
- WE READY?
- YEAH, GO ON, GO ON.
WHAT ABOUT MY BABIES?
WHERE THEY GONNA BE?
[FAY]
RUBY, RUBY, THEY'RE
WITH THE YOUTH AUTHORITY.
THEY'RE GOING TO BE FINE.
NICE TIMING, MISS CHAPMAN.
I DON'T NEED ANY OF YOUR
HINDSIGHT SARCASM, OKAY?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE,
ANYWAY?
JUST LAY OFF, OKAY?
I SCREWED UP.
ISN'T THAT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU?
NO, IT'S NOT.
STANDARD HOSPITAL GUARD,
HOSPITAL ARRAIGNMENT,
AFTER WHICH RELEASE
UNDER COGNIZANCE.
IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEM,
CALL ME PERSONALLY.
FRANK, CAN WE TALK?
SURE.
IT WAS AS IF WE--
WE BOTH HAD
THESE BIG,
SELF-FULFILLING PROPHESIES.
IT'S HER LIFE, FAY,
NOT YOURS.
I KNOW, BUT I FEEL
SO HORRIBLE.
LIKE IF I HADN'T BEEN
SUCH A NAIVE JERK--
I DON'T THINK YOU WERE
A NAIVE JERK.
I WANTED TO GIVE HER HOPE.
I WANTED HER TO SEE THAT
THE SYSTEM COULD WORK FOR HER.
FAY...
WHAT?
I THINK YOU'VE HAD A TASTE
OF THE DESPAIR
THAT COMES WITH THE TERRITORY
UP HERE.
IT'S WHERE THE JOB STARTS.
DOESN'T HAVE TO BE
WHERE IT ENDS.
YOU KNOW, IT'S SO FUNNY.
FIVE YEARS AGO,
I WOULD HAVE HATED YOU,
AND TODAY,
YOU SAVED MY LIFE.
I FEEL LIKE A COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT PERSON NOW.
SO WHAT DO YOU--
[CLEARS THROAT]
WHAT DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE GONNA DO NOW?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
[LAUGHTER]
I MEAN NOW THAT
YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN.
OH, WELL, FIRST
I'VE GOTTA PRY LOOSE
THE REST OF PAUL'S ESTATE.
THEN I HAVE TO DIVERSIFY
EVERYTHING.
PAUL PUT EVERYTHING
IN PROPERTY AND CARS.
I WANT TO SIT DOWN
WITH A QUALIFIED MONEY MANAGER,
FIGURE IT ALL OUT.
YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH
TO SET ASIDE IN TAX-FREES,
HOW MUCH TO MAINTAIN
IN CASH
OR CASH EQUIVALENT.
I LIKE THAT I CAN TALK
TO YOU.
I FEEL LIKE I CAN REALLY
OPEN UP TO YOU.
I REALLY WANT TO GET
TO KNOW YOU BETTER.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE
SEEING HARRY.
N--
I LIKE HARRY.
HARRY'S--
HARRY'S A GOOD FRIEND.
I THOUGHT--
I DIDN'T KNOW.
I'VE ONLY KNOWN YOU
FOR TODAY, HENRY,
BUT I FEEL SO GOOD
AROUND YOU.
I'M VERY...
ATTRACTED TO YOU.
MY HEART IS POUNDING.
MY HEART IS POUNDING TOO.
MAYBE I'M NOT REALLY
YOUR TYPE AT ALL.
YOU DON'T THINK I'M--
I'M BAD
OR EVIL OR SOMETHING?
GOD, NO!
I THINK YOU'RE GREAT.
YOU DO?
HENRY,
WOULD IT BE OKAY
IF WE JUST GOT THE CHECK?
I DON'T REALLY FEEL
LIKE EATING.
WHAT?
OH, SURE.
DID YOU NOTICE THERE'S
A HOTEL ACROSS THE STREET?
WHERE'S YOUR TOOTHBRUSH
AND STUFF?
IT'S IN MY SHAVING KIT.
AND WHERE'S YOUR
SHAVING KIT?
RIGHT HERE.
WHY?
MICK, YOU'RE LIVING HERE NOW.
I KNOW.
THAT MEANS YOU GET TO
PUT YOUR STUFF IN THE BATHROOM.
THAT MEANS THIS IS
YOUR PLACE NOW.
