Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:15,068 --> 00:00:17,152
Come to Los Angeles.
2
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,657
The sun shines bright, the
beaches are wide and inviting...
3
00:00:21,824 --> 00:00:25,410
and the orange groves stretch
as far as the eye can see.
4
00:00:26,287 --> 00:00:29,540
There are jobs aplenty
and land is cheap.
5
00:00:29,749 --> 00:00:32,084
Every workingman can
have his own house...
6
00:00:32,293 --> 00:00:37,005
and inside every house, a
happy, all-American family.
7
00:00:37,173 --> 00:00:40,217
You can have all this.
And who knows?
8
00:00:40,385 --> 00:00:42,469
You could even be discovered...
9
00:00:42,637 --> 00:00:45,931
become a movie star,
or at least see one.
10
00:00:46,099 --> 00:00:48,392
Life is good in Los Angeles.
11
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,228
It's paradise on Earth.
12
00:00:53,064 --> 00:00:57,401
That's what they tell you, anyway,
because they're selling an image.
13
00:00:57,569 --> 00:01:01,280
They're selling it through
movies, radio and television.
14
00:01:01,447 --> 00:01:05,325
In the hit show "Badge of Honor", the L.A.
cops walk on water...
15
00:01:05,493 --> 00:01:07,953
as they keep the city
clean of crooks.
16
00:01:08,121 --> 00:01:11,498
Yep, you'd think this place
was the Garden of Eden.
17
00:01:11,666 --> 00:01:13,917
But there's trouble
in paradise...
18
00:01:14,085 --> 00:01:18,463
and his name is Meyer Harris
Cohen, Mickey C to his fans.
19
00:01:18,798 --> 00:01:23,343
Local L.A. color to the nth degree.
And his number-one bodyguard...
20
00:01:24,721 --> 00:01:25,971
Johnny Stompanato.
21
00:01:26,139 --> 00:01:29,057
Mickey C's the head of organized
crime in these parts.
22
00:01:29,225 --> 00:01:34,271
He runs dope, rackets and prostitution.
He kills a dozen people a year...
23
00:01:34,856 --> 00:01:37,983
and the dapper little
gent does it in style.
24
00:01:38,151 --> 00:01:41,111
And every time his picture's
on the front page...
25
00:01:41,279 --> 00:01:44,323
it's a black eye for the
image of Los Angeles.
26
00:01:44,490 --> 00:01:46,950
Because how can organized
crime exist...
27
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,662
in the city with the best
police force in the world?
28
00:01:50,830 --> 00:01:52,122
Something has to be done.
29
00:01:52,290 --> 00:01:55,375
But nothing too original,
because, hey, this is Hollywood.
30
00:01:55,585 --> 00:01:58,712
What worked for Al Capone
would work for the Mickster.
31
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,175
Mr. Cohen, you're under arrest.
Non-payment of federal income tax.
32
00:02:03,509 --> 00:02:05,093
But all is not well.
33
00:02:05,303 --> 00:02:09,389
Sending Mickey up has created a vacuum,
and it's only a matter of time...
34
00:02:09,557 --> 00:02:13,560
before someone with balls
of brass tries to fill it.
35
00:02:13,728 --> 00:02:19,441
"Remember, dear readers,
you heard it here first."
36
00:02:19,609 --> 00:02:24,196
Off the record, on the q.t...
37
00:02:24,364 --> 00:02:27,866
"and very hush-hush."
38
00:02:46,219 --> 00:02:51,515
You're like Santa Claus with that list,
Bud, except everyone on it's been naughty.
39
00:02:52,809 --> 00:02:55,435
Guy's been out of Q two weeks.
40
00:02:56,104 --> 00:02:57,145
Leave it for later.
41
00:02:57,313 --> 00:03:00,232
We gotta pick up the booze
and get it to the station.
42
00:03:02,735 --> 00:03:04,695
Hollywood, this is 6-Adam-7.
43
00:03:04,862 --> 00:03:08,824
Have Central send a prowler
to 4216 Evergreen.
44
00:03:08,991 --> 00:03:11,702
Parole violation. Assault
arising from a family dispute.
45
00:03:11,869 --> 00:03:13,620
We won't be here, but
they'll see him.
46
00:03:23,297 --> 00:03:24,464
Quit your whining.
47
00:03:24,632 --> 00:03:26,883
Quit whining all the time.
It makes me sick.
48
00:03:27,218 --> 00:03:29,094
Shut up.
49
00:03:43,609 --> 00:03:47,154
- Who in the hell are you?
- The ghost of Christmas past.
50
00:03:48,197 --> 00:03:51,491
- Dance with a man for a change.
- What are you, some kind of smart-ass?
51
00:04:05,006 --> 00:04:09,342
You'll be out in a year and a half.
I'll get cozy with your parole officer.
52
00:04:09,510 --> 00:04:14,139
You touch her again, I'll have you
violated on a kiddie-raper beef.
53
00:04:15,224 --> 00:04:18,351
You know what they do to
kiddie rapers in Quentin.
54
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,446
You got someplace you can go?
55
00:04:30,323 --> 00:04:32,532
Go get yourself fixed up.
56
00:04:37,038 --> 00:04:38,205
Merry Christmas, huh?
57
00:04:38,873 --> 00:04:41,541
- Merry Christmas, ma'am.
- Let's go, Bud.
58
00:04:41,709 --> 00:04:43,502
The guys will be waiting.
59
00:04:47,381 --> 00:04:49,508
What do you do on
"Badge of Honor", Jack?
60
00:04:49,717 --> 00:04:52,511
I'm the, um, technical adviser.
61
00:04:52,678 --> 00:04:56,389
I teach Brett Chase how to
walk and talk like a cop.
62
00:04:56,557 --> 00:04:58,725
Brett Chase doesn't
walk and talk like you.
63
00:04:58,893 --> 00:05:01,561
Well, that's because he's
the television version.
64
00:05:01,729 --> 00:05:03,897
America isn't ready
for the real me.
65
00:05:04,065 --> 00:05:06,066
Is it true you're the one
who arrested Bob Mitchum?
66
00:05:06,234 --> 00:05:07,275
Mm-hm.
67
00:05:07,443 --> 00:05:09,213
These "Badge of Honor"
guys like to pretend...
68
00:05:09,237 --> 00:05:12,155
but being the real thing
must be a thrill.
69
00:05:12,323 --> 00:05:14,157
Why don't you and I
go someplace quiet?
70
00:05:14,325 --> 00:05:16,576
I'd love to give you the
lowdown on Mitchum.
71
00:05:16,744 --> 00:05:19,704
- Big V. Jack Vincennes.
- Hey.
72
00:05:19,872 --> 00:05:21,456
- May I have this dance?
- Of course.
73
00:05:21,624 --> 00:05:23,959
Karen, this is Sid Hudgens
from Hush-Hush magazine.
74
00:05:24,126 --> 00:05:26,461
- Hello, Karen.
- Hello, yourself.
75
00:05:26,754 --> 00:05:27,921
Mm-hm.
76
00:05:28,089 --> 00:05:29,214
What's that about?
77
00:05:29,382 --> 00:05:32,926
We did a piece, "ingénue Dykes in
Hollywood." Her name got mentioned.
78
00:05:33,886 --> 00:05:35,303
Hey, Jackie boy...
79
00:05:35,471 --> 00:05:38,056
a friend just sold some
reefer to Matt Reynolds.
80
00:05:38,224 --> 00:05:41,184
He's tripping the "Light
Fantastic" with Tammy Jordan.
81
00:05:42,812 --> 00:05:44,813
Sorry, I lost you
for a second, Sid.
82
00:05:44,981 --> 00:05:49,276
Contract players, Metro. You pinch
them, I do a nice feature next issue.
83
00:05:49,443 --> 00:05:51,903
- Plus the usual 50 cash.
- No, I need another 50.
84
00:05:52,113 --> 00:05:55,574
Two 20s for two patrolmen, and a
dime for the watch commander.
85
00:05:55,741 --> 00:05:58,243
Jackie, it's Christmas.
86
00:05:58,411 --> 00:05:59,744
No, it's not.
87
00:05:59,912 --> 00:06:01,955
It's felony possession
of marijuana.
88
00:06:03,541 --> 00:06:07,085
Actually, it's circulation
36,000 and climbing.
89
00:06:07,253 --> 00:06:10,046
There's no telling where this is gonna go.
Radio, television.
90
00:06:10,590 --> 00:06:14,217
Once you whet the public's appetite
for the truth, the sky's the limit.
91
00:06:19,307 --> 00:06:22,309
Sergeant Ed Exley, son of the
legendary Preston Exley.
92
00:06:22,602 --> 00:06:24,144
Must be a hard act to follow.
93
00:06:25,813 --> 00:06:28,982
Why not make a mark somewhere else?
Why become a cop, Ed?
94
00:06:29,442 --> 00:06:31,234
I like to help people.
95
00:06:31,444 --> 00:06:34,070
We heard two officers were
assaulted this evening.
96
00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:37,032
- What do you think about that?
- Goes with the job.
97
00:06:37,241 --> 00:06:39,159
I took the report.
Luckily, they're okay.
98
00:06:39,368 --> 00:06:41,286
Aren't you young to
be watch commander?
99
00:06:41,454 --> 00:06:42,495
It's only tonight.
100
00:06:42,955 --> 00:06:45,498
The married men have
Christmas Eve off.
101
00:06:45,666 --> 00:06:47,584
- That's a good lead for the story.
- Sure.
102
00:06:47,835 --> 00:06:49,753
Merry Christmas, captain.
103
00:06:49,921 --> 00:06:52,464
- Captain Smith.
- Drop the formalities, Bobby.
104
00:06:52,632 --> 00:06:56,343
- It's Christmas Eve. Call me Dudley.
- I came up with a title for the story.
105
00:06:56,510 --> 00:06:59,346
I'm calling it "Silent
Night With the L.A.P.D."
106
00:06:59,639 --> 00:07:01,097
That's grand.
107
00:07:02,016 --> 00:07:05,018
Now, remember, Bobby,
that's "Smith." With an S.
108
00:07:07,855 --> 00:07:10,190
- Thank you, gentlemen. Merry Christmas.
- Thank you.
109
00:07:10,358 --> 00:07:11,358
Hold on there, lads.
110
00:07:14,654 --> 00:07:17,405
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas to you.
111
00:07:18,783 --> 00:07:21,660
I saw the test results on
the lieutenant's exam.
112
00:07:21,827 --> 00:07:25,080
First out of 23.
What'll it be, then?
113
00:07:25,247 --> 00:07:27,707
Patrol Division? Internal Affairs?
What?
114
00:07:27,875 --> 00:07:29,376
I was thinking Detective Bureau.
115
00:07:34,006 --> 00:07:37,008
Edmund, you're a
political animal.
116
00:07:37,176 --> 00:07:40,261
You have the eye for human
weakness, but not the stomach.
117
00:07:41,973 --> 00:07:43,723
You're wrong, sir.
118
00:07:43,891 --> 00:07:47,644
Would you be willing to plant evidence
on a suspect you knew to be guilty...
119
00:07:47,853 --> 00:07:49,646
in order to ensure
an indictment?
120
00:07:49,897 --> 00:07:51,982
- We've been over this.
- Yes or no?
121
00:07:52,191 --> 00:07:53,316
No.
122
00:07:53,484 --> 00:07:56,569
Would you beat a confession out of
a suspect you knew to be guilty?
123
00:07:56,737 --> 00:07:57,737
No.
124
00:07:57,905 --> 00:08:00,573
Would you shoot a hardened
criminal in the back...
125
00:08:00,741 --> 00:08:03,118
in order to offset the
chance that some lawyer...?
126
00:08:03,285 --> 00:08:04,619
No.
127
00:08:04,787 --> 00:08:07,956
Then for the love of God,
don't be a detective.
128
00:08:08,124 --> 00:08:11,084
Stick to assignments where you
don't have to make those choices.
129
00:08:11,585 --> 00:08:13,586
Dudley, I know you mean well...
130
00:08:13,921 --> 00:08:17,757
but I don't need to do it the
way you did, or my father.
131
00:08:18,926 --> 00:08:21,052
At least get rid of the glasses.
132
00:08:21,220 --> 00:08:23,888
I can't think of a man in
the bureau who wears them.
133
00:08:33,065 --> 00:08:35,191
If I get held up, you
guys better be here.
134
00:08:41,115 --> 00:08:43,867
Hi, Nick. I need a delivery.
135
00:08:44,035 --> 00:08:46,786
A case each of gin, rum, Scotch.
136
00:08:46,954 --> 00:08:49,581
That sounds like a hell of a party.
Be right with you.
137
00:09:08,476 --> 00:09:09,601
Merry Christmas.
138
00:09:11,437 --> 00:09:13,396
Merry Christmas to you, officer.
139
00:09:16,108 --> 00:09:17,400
That obvious, huh?
140
00:09:17,985 --> 00:09:20,320
It's practically stamped
on your forehead.
141
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:22,405
There you go, White.
142
00:09:55,523 --> 00:09:57,357
See what he wants, Buzz.
143
00:10:00,820 --> 00:10:02,195
Hey.
144
00:10:02,363 --> 00:10:04,364
Get lost, why don't you?
145
00:10:11,664 --> 00:10:13,873
Down. Get your
fucking head down.
146
00:10:14,041 --> 00:10:17,043
I got a license for that.
147
00:10:20,214 --> 00:10:22,924
Cut me some slack. I
used to be a cop.
148
00:10:23,134 --> 00:10:25,218
"Leland Meeks."
Never heard of you.
149
00:10:25,678 --> 00:10:27,720
They call me Buzz.
150
00:10:27,888 --> 00:10:31,391
I don't give a rat's ass what they
call you. Keep your head down.
151
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,519
And stay there, Buzz.
152
00:10:36,397 --> 00:10:39,190
- You okay?
- She's fine.
153
00:10:39,567 --> 00:10:40,984
I'm not asking you, sir.
154
00:10:42,945 --> 00:10:46,406
- Somebody hit you?
- It's not what you think.
155
00:10:49,702 --> 00:10:50,743
What is it, then?
156
00:10:50,911 --> 00:10:54,330
You got the wrong idea, mister.
I'm fine.
157
00:10:54,915 --> 00:10:57,709
But it's nice to know you care.
158
00:11:06,010 --> 00:11:08,094
Drive safely.
159
00:11:09,054 --> 00:11:10,805
What's going on?
160
00:11:14,226 --> 00:11:18,021
- You know him?
- Yeah, I've seen him around.
161
00:11:19,273 --> 00:11:20,899
He used to be a cop.
162
00:11:27,489 --> 00:11:30,116
They're sitting in the dark,
goofing on a Christmas tree.
163
00:11:30,284 --> 00:11:32,911
All right. Put your
camera right there.
164
00:11:33,078 --> 00:11:37,373
When I walk out, I'll stop here. Get
the movie premiere in the background.
165
00:11:37,583 --> 00:11:40,460
I like it. I like it. "The
Movie Premiere Pot Bust."
166
00:11:40,628 --> 00:11:43,713
When I walk out, I don't want
those floodlights in my eyes.
167
00:11:43,923 --> 00:11:46,466
Big V, consider it done.
You hear that, Chip?
168
00:11:46,634 --> 00:11:48,968
All right, come on. Get down.
169
00:11:53,098 --> 00:11:55,016
Go. Pop them.
170
00:11:58,354 --> 00:11:59,604
Freeze. Police.
171
00:12:00,522 --> 00:12:04,275
Hold it. Come on.
Come on, let's go.
172
00:12:04,443 --> 00:12:05,652
I got my family coming...
173
00:12:05,819 --> 00:12:09,113
- It'll be a nice Christmas gift.
- Hi, Tammy. Hi, Matt.
174
00:12:09,323 --> 00:12:10,365
Right over here.
175
00:12:10,574 --> 00:12:12,617
- Just turn.
- Hold it. Got it.
176
00:12:13,577 --> 00:12:17,747
- "The Movie Premiere Pot Bust."
- Take them in. I'll get the evidence.
177
00:12:30,010 --> 00:12:32,512
It's Christmas Eve in
the City of Angels...
178
00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:35,932
and while decent citizens sleep
the sleep of the righteous...
179
00:12:36,141 --> 00:12:38,559
hopheads prowl for marijuana...
180
00:12:38,769 --> 00:12:42,105
not knowing that a man
is coming to stop them:
181
00:12:42,564 --> 00:12:46,025
Celebrity crime-stopper
Jack Vincennes...
182
00:12:46,193 --> 00:12:50,989
scourge of grasshoppers and
dope fiends everywhere.
183
00:12:51,156 --> 00:12:53,533
You like it, Jackie boy?
184
00:12:54,827 --> 00:12:56,995
Yeah, subtle.
185
00:12:57,663 --> 00:12:58,705
What took you?
186
00:12:58,872 --> 00:13:01,749
My partner stopped to help
a damsel in distress.
187
00:13:01,959 --> 00:13:04,585
His priorities are
all screwed up.
188
00:13:04,753 --> 00:13:06,546
Up to your old
tricks again, Bud?
189
00:13:06,964 --> 00:13:08,047
Bye.
190
00:13:08,215 --> 00:13:11,926
Hollywood Jack, what brings you
to our humble station house?
191
00:13:12,094 --> 00:13:13,886
- How are you?
- What are you doing here?
192
00:13:14,054 --> 00:13:16,055
You know me. Keeping the
streets safe, boys.
193
00:13:16,265 --> 00:13:18,725
Take these two, get them
dressed and book them.
194
00:13:19,018 --> 00:13:21,644
- The party's upstairs.
- Okay, I'll be right up. Exley.
195
00:13:27,818 --> 00:13:28,860
What's that for?
196
00:13:29,028 --> 00:13:31,529
Well, you are watch commander
tonight, aren't you?
197
00:13:31,739 --> 00:13:32,780
Yeah. So?
198
00:13:32,948 --> 00:13:36,451
A gratuity from Hush-Hush magazine.
Buy yourself a new pair of loafers.
199
00:13:36,702 --> 00:13:39,162
No, thanks, Jack. You
keep your payoff.
200
00:13:40,039 --> 00:13:41,080
I'm not interested.
201
00:13:49,256 --> 00:13:52,175
- What the hell's this?
- Six spics.
202
00:13:52,343 --> 00:13:55,720
Mexicans, sir. The ones who
assaulted Brown and Helenowski.
203
00:13:55,888 --> 00:13:58,890
I heard Helenowski lost six pints
of blood and Brown's in a coma.
204
00:13:59,058 --> 00:14:00,767
They're home with bruises.
205
00:14:00,934 --> 00:14:03,686
- That's not what I heard.
- Get these men into the lockup.
206
00:14:03,854 --> 00:14:08,649
Stens, you guys hear what those taco
benders did to Helenowski and Brown?
207
00:14:09,902 --> 00:14:14,447
Helenowski lost an eye, and they're
reading Brown his last rites.
208
00:14:16,241 --> 00:14:19,535
That ought to make for a very merry
Christmas for Helenowski and Brown.
209
00:14:19,703 --> 00:14:23,915
Hey, guys. Guys. They
brought the Mexicans in.
210
00:14:25,292 --> 00:14:26,626
They're downstairs.
211
00:14:29,129 --> 00:14:31,798
- Let's do it.
- Come on, guys. Let's get them.
212
00:14:34,593 --> 00:14:36,427
Stensland, the party's upstairs.
213
00:14:38,138 --> 00:14:39,764
This doesn't concern you.
214
00:14:40,766 --> 00:14:43,309
Come on, guys. Haven't
you got work to do?
215
00:14:43,477 --> 00:14:44,644
Go back to the party.
216
00:14:45,938 --> 00:14:49,148
- Come on, it's Christmas. Help me out.
- Out of the way. Move it.
217
00:14:49,316 --> 00:14:53,444
- I just got a few more questions.
- You don't all have to be down here.
218
00:14:53,987 --> 00:14:54,987
Go.
219
00:14:57,241 --> 00:15:00,827
Hey, White? You better put a leash on
your partner before he kills somebody.
220
00:15:03,831 --> 00:15:05,957
Teach him a lesson.
Get him, Stens.
221
00:15:07,126 --> 00:15:09,168
This is for ours, Pancho.
222
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,671
Get him, Stens.
223
00:15:11,964 --> 00:15:13,005
Let me through.
224
00:15:14,842 --> 00:15:16,300
No. He didn't do nothing.
225
00:15:16,468 --> 00:15:19,137
What are you looking at?
What are you looking at?
226
00:15:19,805 --> 00:15:22,348
- Tell that Mexican to shut up.
- Move. Move.
227
00:15:22,766 --> 00:15:23,808
You're sick.
228
00:15:26,061 --> 00:15:27,854
Stens!
229
00:15:28,105 --> 00:15:31,607
- Stens. Hey. Hey. Come on. Come on.
- Don't break it up.
230
00:15:32,192 --> 00:15:33,568
Get back. Get back.
231
00:15:34,027 --> 00:15:36,696
- Yeah, and fuck your mother.
- Fuck you.
232
00:15:39,366 --> 00:15:41,784
- Come on!
- Stop, officer. That's an order.
233
00:15:43,871 --> 00:15:45,455
Hey.
234
00:15:47,374 --> 00:15:49,250
Yeah, all right.
235
00:15:50,794 --> 00:15:53,296
- You're all going in my report.
- Let's go, Exley.
236
00:16:12,357 --> 00:16:13,733
"Bloody Christmas."
237
00:16:14,234 --> 00:16:16,777
The press love to label.
238
00:16:17,571 --> 00:16:20,406
You should know this is
bigger than the police board.
239
00:16:20,574 --> 00:16:24,744
The grand jury's convening.
Indictments may be handed down.
240
00:16:25,078 --> 00:16:27,747
- Will you testify?
- No, sir. I won't.
241
00:16:30,918 --> 00:16:33,044
District Attorney Loew?
242
00:16:33,212 --> 00:16:37,048
You and Officer Stensland brought
the liquor to the station.
243
00:16:37,216 --> 00:16:39,550
Stensland was already drunk.
244
00:16:39,718 --> 00:16:42,595
Do you see how appearing as a
voluntary witness against him...
245
00:16:42,763 --> 00:16:45,348
could offset the damage
you've done to yourself?
246
00:16:45,516 --> 00:16:48,267
Sir, I won't testify against
my partner or anyone else.
247
00:16:48,435 --> 00:16:50,436
This man is a disgrace.
248
00:16:50,729 --> 00:16:54,440
Your badge and gun, officer.
You're suspended from duty.
249
00:16:55,901 --> 00:16:57,818
Dismissed.
250
00:17:13,585 --> 00:17:14,961
Ed.
251
00:17:15,128 --> 00:17:18,339
We need police witnesses to offset
the damage done to the department.
252
00:17:18,507 --> 00:17:20,883
- I'm asking you...
- Justice has to be served.
253
00:17:21,051 --> 00:17:22,635
Of course I'll testify.
254
00:17:25,722 --> 00:17:28,766
I'm glad you feel that way, Edmund.
Most of the men don't.
255
00:17:28,976 --> 00:17:31,644
They think silence and
integrity are the same thing.
256
00:17:32,062 --> 00:17:37,108
Not exactly the image of the new L.A.P.D.
we're trying to create.
257
00:17:37,317 --> 00:17:40,278
Welcome to Los Angeles,
the city of the future.
258
00:17:40,487 --> 00:17:43,072
- May I make a suggestion, sir?
- By all means.
259
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,992
The public will expect the
department to protect its own...
260
00:17:46,159 --> 00:17:49,495
and sweep this under the carpet.
Don't.
261
00:17:49,997 --> 00:17:52,957
Shift the guilt to men whose
pensions are secured.
262
00:17:53,125 --> 00:17:54,834
Force them to retire.
263
00:17:56,128 --> 00:18:01,507
But somebody has to swing, so
indict, try and convict...
264
00:18:01,675 --> 00:18:03,509
Richard Stensland and Bud White.
265
00:18:03,969 --> 00:18:07,513
Secure them jail time. The
message will be very clear:
266
00:18:08,098 --> 00:18:10,516
This department,
your new L.A.P.D...
267
00:18:10,684 --> 00:18:13,853
will not tolerate officers who
think they're above the law.
268
00:18:14,021 --> 00:18:17,064
Dick Stensland is an
embarrassment as a policeman.
269
00:18:17,274 --> 00:18:20,943
He's had rotten fitness reports
from every CO he's served under...
270
00:18:21,528 --> 00:18:23,529
but Bud White is a
valuable officer.
271
00:18:23,697 --> 00:18:25,364
White's a mindless thug.
272
00:18:25,532 --> 00:18:27,325
No, Edmund.
273
00:18:27,534 --> 00:18:31,537
He's just a man who can answer "yes"
to those questions I've asked you.
274
00:18:32,122 --> 00:18:35,124
The department and the
public need role models.
275
00:18:35,292 --> 00:18:38,377
Clean-cut, forthright men
the public can admire.
276
00:18:40,047 --> 00:18:43,132
Sergeant, I'll promote you...
277
00:18:43,383 --> 00:18:46,594
to lieutenant,
effective immediately.
278
00:18:46,762 --> 00:18:48,054
Detective lieutenant.
279
00:18:50,307 --> 00:18:51,932
Ed, you're 30.
280
00:18:52,100 --> 00:18:55,853
Your father didn't make
lieutenant until he was 33.
281
00:18:56,021 --> 00:18:57,146
I know that, sir.
282
00:18:57,314 --> 00:19:00,024
I also know when he made
lieutenant, it was as a detective.
283
00:19:00,192 --> 00:19:02,610
Before we start polishing
our laurels...
284
00:19:02,819 --> 00:19:05,404
it'd look better if we had
a corroborative witness.
285
00:19:05,906 --> 00:19:09,367
That won't be easy to come by.
The men hate a stool pigeon.
286
00:19:09,576 --> 00:19:11,410
Jack Vincennes.
287
00:19:11,578 --> 00:19:14,330
He hit one of the Mexicans
and saw the whole thing.
288
00:19:14,498 --> 00:19:18,167
A veteran like Vincennes might be
willing to admit his own culpability...
289
00:19:18,669 --> 00:19:20,920
but he'd never rat out
a fellow officer.
290
00:19:21,588 --> 00:19:24,632
Jack's the technical adviser
on "Badge of Honor".
291
00:19:24,841 --> 00:19:26,175
He lives for it.
292
00:19:26,426 --> 00:19:28,094
That's the way to get to him.
293
00:19:31,556 --> 00:19:33,766
I'd like you to observe, Ed.
294
00:19:37,437 --> 00:19:39,021
Call Sergeant Vincennes.
295
00:19:39,773 --> 00:19:41,273
Bright kid.
296
00:19:41,441 --> 00:19:43,442
You may well reap
the benefit, Ed...
297
00:19:43,860 --> 00:19:46,529
but are you prepared to be
despised in the department?
298
00:19:47,197 --> 00:19:48,614
Yes, sir, I am.
299
00:19:50,617 --> 00:19:51,617
So be it.
300
00:19:57,874 --> 00:20:00,209
Well, sergeant, we'll
get right to it.
301
00:20:00,711 --> 00:20:04,714
Nine civilian witnesses have identified
you as hitting Ezekiel Garcia.
302
00:20:04,881 --> 00:20:07,299
But we have a stellar witness
who will name names...
303
00:20:07,467 --> 00:20:11,095
and also testify that you hit
back only after being hit.
304
00:20:11,263 --> 00:20:12,856
And?
305
00:20:12,868 --> 00:20:14,617
And you will testify
against three officers...
306
00:20:14,641 --> 00:20:16,600
who have already earned
their pension...
307
00:20:16,768 --> 00:20:19,395
and plead ignorance to
questions at the other men.
308
00:20:19,813 --> 00:20:21,814
No, thanks. I'm not a snitch.
309
00:20:21,982 --> 00:20:25,484
I'll guarantee you a slap on the
wrist, a brief suspension...
310
00:20:25,652 --> 00:20:28,988
followed by a temporary transfer
from Narcotics to Vice.
311
00:20:29,322 --> 00:20:32,074
When you transfer out of Vice,
you'll be back on the show.
312
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:38,122
The show?
313
00:20:38,665 --> 00:20:40,332
"Badge of Honor", Vincennes.
314
00:20:41,918 --> 00:20:44,754
We need to tone down
your profile for a bit.
315
00:20:45,630 --> 00:20:47,006
Jack...
316
00:20:47,174 --> 00:20:51,469
I doubt you've ever taken a stupid breath.
Don't start now.
317
00:20:52,012 --> 00:20:53,304
Okay, I'll do it.
318
00:20:56,683 --> 00:20:59,435
The grand jury will hear
your testimony tomorrow.
319
00:20:59,603 --> 00:21:01,020
Dismissed, Vincennes.
320
00:21:12,282 --> 00:21:14,283
And so it goes...
321
00:21:14,701 --> 00:21:16,535
detective lieutenant.
322
00:21:18,288 --> 00:21:20,790
Ace them at the grand
jury tomorrow, son.
323
00:21:21,041 --> 00:21:23,793
Wear a smart-looking
suit and ace them.
324
00:21:24,711 --> 00:21:27,713
And, Ed, lose the glasses.
325
00:21:38,058 --> 00:21:40,810
So you're the stellar witness.
326
00:21:41,061 --> 00:21:44,647
I should have known. What's
the chief throwing you?
327
00:21:45,023 --> 00:21:48,150
- Throwing me?
- Yeah, Exley, what's the payoff?
328
00:21:48,485 --> 00:21:50,319
You're the payoff expert.
329
00:21:50,737 --> 00:21:51,779
I'm just doing my duty.
330
00:21:51,988 --> 00:21:55,533
Come on, you're playing an angle
here, college boy, right?
331
00:21:55,700 --> 00:21:58,869
You're getting something so you
don't have to hobnob with cops...
332
00:21:59,037 --> 00:22:00,871
who are gonna hate
you for snitching.
333
00:22:01,248 --> 00:22:03,833
Well, if they're making
you detective, watch out.
334
00:22:04,334 --> 00:22:06,252
Some bureau guys are
gonna burn in this...
335
00:22:06,419 --> 00:22:08,587
and you're gonna work
with friends of theirs.
336
00:22:08,755 --> 00:22:10,172
What about you?
337
00:22:10,340 --> 00:22:14,593
I'm snitching three old-timers who'll
be fishing in Oregon next week.
338
00:22:14,928 --> 00:22:16,846
Next to you, I'm clean...
339
00:22:17,097 --> 00:22:18,264
and smart.
340
00:22:18,431 --> 00:22:21,100
Edmund J. Exley to chambers.
341
00:22:23,436 --> 00:22:24,478
And remember...
342
00:22:24,688 --> 00:22:28,148
Bud White will fuck you for this if
it takes him the rest of his life.
343
00:22:32,028 --> 00:22:33,612
Captain, what do you want?
344
00:22:34,781 --> 00:22:36,031
Call me Dudley.
345
00:22:36,533 --> 00:22:39,702
Dudley, what do you want?
346
00:22:40,954 --> 00:22:44,456
Look, lad, I admire your
refusal to testify...
347
00:22:44,875 --> 00:22:46,876
and your loyalty
to your partner.
348
00:22:47,377 --> 00:22:49,336
I admire you as a policeman...
349
00:22:49,546 --> 00:22:53,966
particularly your adherence to violence
as a necessary adjunct to the job.
350
00:22:54,134 --> 00:22:57,386
And I'm most impressed with your
punishment of women-beaters.
351
00:22:58,430 --> 00:22:59,638
Do you hate them, Wendell?
352
00:23:02,225 --> 00:23:03,392
What do you want?
353
00:23:07,898 --> 00:23:09,315
They're yours.
354
00:23:10,734 --> 00:23:12,568
Go ahead, take them.
355
00:23:15,238 --> 00:23:16,697
There's no goddamn bill on me?
356
00:23:16,907 --> 00:23:19,491
- Four witnesses recanted their testimony.
- Why?
357
00:23:19,659 --> 00:23:21,994
- They had a change of heart.
- What about Stensland?
358
00:23:22,495 --> 00:23:24,079
Your partner's through.
359
00:23:24,331 --> 00:23:26,457
Departmental scapegoat
on the chief's orders.
360
00:23:26,625 --> 00:23:28,584
A year from his pension.
361
00:23:31,671 --> 00:23:32,713
Exley.
362
00:23:32,881 --> 00:23:34,965
Exley made his play and
got what he wanted.
363
00:23:35,133 --> 00:23:38,510
As a politician, he
exceeds even myself.
364
00:23:39,346 --> 00:23:42,181
The department needs
smart men like Exley...
365
00:23:42,682 --> 00:23:45,935
and direct men like you.
366
00:23:47,354 --> 00:23:51,357
Look, lad, I need you for an assignment
the chief's given me the go-ahead on.
367
00:23:51,524 --> 00:23:55,819
A duty few men are fit for,
but you were born for.
368
00:23:56,529 --> 00:23:59,156
You'd be working out of
Homicide down at City Hall.
369
00:23:59,366 --> 00:24:00,532
Homicide?
370
00:24:01,534 --> 00:24:03,035
Working cases?
371
00:24:04,204 --> 00:24:06,789
Your talents lie
elsewhere, Wendell.
372
00:24:07,374 --> 00:24:08,999
It's a muscle job.
373
00:24:10,210 --> 00:24:15,381
You'll do as I say and ask no questions.
Do you follow my drift?
374
00:24:15,632 --> 00:24:17,716
In Technicolor, sir.
375
00:24:19,970 --> 00:24:23,263
Meet Tony Brancato and
Anthony Trombino...
376
00:24:23,473 --> 00:24:26,767
two rising lieutenants in
the Mickey Cohen rackets.
377
00:24:26,977 --> 00:24:29,019
With the dapper little
gent in prison...
378
00:24:29,187 --> 00:24:33,399
who knows how far they'll go?
The sky's the limit.
379
00:24:40,031 --> 00:24:41,073
Oh, well.
380
00:24:54,170 --> 00:24:58,632
Meet Deuce Perkins, Mickey
Cohen's narcotics lieutenant.
381
00:24:58,842 --> 00:25:00,259
Could he be behind the hits?
382
00:25:01,011 --> 00:25:03,846
Is he consolidating
organized-crime power?
383
00:25:09,936 --> 00:25:11,603
I suppose not.
384
00:25:17,110 --> 00:25:18,652
One thing's for sure:
385
00:25:18,862 --> 00:25:22,114
Two-man triggers are punching the
tickets on the Mickster's muscle.
386
00:25:32,792 --> 00:25:35,377
Meanwhile, rumor has
it the L.A.P.D...
387
00:25:35,545 --> 00:25:40,424
has set up a not-so-welcome wagon to
dishearten out-of-town criminal element...
388
00:25:40,633 --> 00:25:43,927
from filling the void
left by Mickey's absence.
389
00:25:44,137 --> 00:25:47,056
When I know more, dear
readers, so will you.
390
00:25:47,307 --> 00:25:49,975
Off the record, on the q.t...
391
00:25:50,393 --> 00:25:53,979
and very hush-hush.
392
00:25:55,148 --> 00:25:59,151
With Mickey Cohen in prison, Los
Angeles is organized-crime free.
393
00:25:59,486 --> 00:26:01,236
The chief wants to
keep it that way.
394
00:26:02,614 --> 00:26:05,574
Now, in Cleveland, you're an
organized-crime associate...
395
00:26:05,742 --> 00:26:09,578
in desperate needs of re-education
in the ways of polite society.
396
00:26:11,998 --> 00:26:13,791
I hear things.
397
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,959
Like those two-man
shooter teams.
398
00:26:16,169 --> 00:26:20,005
Bang, bang. They're eighty-sixing Cohen's
lieutenants. Tell me, what do you want?
399
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,591
We want you to go home.
400
00:26:27,347 --> 00:26:28,972
Picture-book smut, gentlemen.
401
00:26:29,182 --> 00:26:32,851
There's been a bunch of this found
at collateral crime scenes lately.
402
00:26:33,103 --> 00:26:38,148
Quality ranges from piss-poor
to very well done.
403
00:26:39,067 --> 00:26:41,777
- Look who's back from suspension.
- Here, Jack.
404
00:26:41,945 --> 00:26:43,987
We're honored, Sergeant Jack.
405
00:26:44,197 --> 00:26:47,616
Ah, look at that. The great
jerk-off case of 1953.
406
00:26:47,951 --> 00:26:50,160
There someplace you'd
rather be, Vincennes?
407
00:26:50,703 --> 00:26:53,872
Yeah, working Narcotics,
looking for Cohen's missing H.
408
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:58,252
Yeah, finding 25 pounds of heroin
would get you plenty of ink.
409
00:26:58,461 --> 00:27:00,921
Maybe you should've thought of
that before "Bloody Christmas."
410
00:27:01,089 --> 00:27:02,214
Oh.
411
00:27:02,632 --> 00:27:04,550
Make a major case, sergeant.
412
00:27:04,717 --> 00:27:07,219
It's the only way you're
getting out of here.
413
00:27:07,971 --> 00:27:09,388
Dismissed, gentlemen.
414
00:27:17,564 --> 00:27:19,523
Go get the facts, Jack.
415
00:27:19,732 --> 00:27:21,567
Just the facts.
416
00:27:29,075 --> 00:27:30,617
Whatever you desire.
417
00:27:30,827 --> 00:27:33,579
Hi. I'd like to get a
delivery to Beverly Hills.
418
00:27:33,788 --> 00:27:34,872
I don't know you.
419
00:27:35,415 --> 00:27:38,584
Well, a friend just gave me this number
and I just wanted to find out if...
420
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,965
Ginger, you grab a reverse directory
and shag a name and address for me?
421
00:27:45,175 --> 00:27:47,092
Crestview 2239.
422
00:27:54,350 --> 00:27:56,685
Hush-Hush, off the
record, on the q.t.
423
00:27:57,103 --> 00:27:58,854
Sid, it's Vincennes.
424
00:27:59,022 --> 00:28:02,441
Jackie! Hey, you back on Narco?
I need some good copy.
425
00:28:02,609 --> 00:28:04,693
No, but I do have something
going with Vice.
426
00:28:04,861 --> 00:28:06,486
Something juicy for the Sidster?
427
00:28:06,696 --> 00:28:08,947
Tracking porn. Arty,
high-class stuff.
428
00:28:09,115 --> 00:28:12,284
What do you know about Fleur-de-Lis?
Slogan's "Whatever you desire."
429
00:28:12,452 --> 00:28:14,077
No, I've heard bupkes.
430
00:28:14,287 --> 00:28:17,956
Get me some Narco skinny. I want
to do an all-hophead issue.
431
00:28:18,124 --> 00:28:22,044
Shvartze jazz musicians and movie stars.
You like it?
432
00:28:22,212 --> 00:28:24,546
Yeah, I'll talk to you later, Sid.
What do you got?
433
00:28:24,714 --> 00:28:27,799
- Number's not assigned, sergeant.
- Thanks, Ginger.
434
00:28:29,636 --> 00:28:30,969
A bootleg.
435
00:28:37,936 --> 00:28:39,478
Hey.
436
00:28:40,063 --> 00:28:41,271
Take it easy.
437
00:28:41,481 --> 00:28:42,940
Tough break, Stens.
438
00:28:43,149 --> 00:28:45,275
Good man. We're gonna
miss you around here.
439
00:28:45,485 --> 00:28:47,152
Raw deal, Stensland.
440
00:28:50,448 --> 00:28:52,324
Here comes the snitch.
441
00:29:03,503 --> 00:29:05,128
Sorry about that, lieutenant.
442
00:29:22,105 --> 00:29:23,939
Stay out of trouble, Bud.
443
00:29:26,442 --> 00:29:28,652
I got a couple hours.
I'll buy you a drink.
444
00:29:28,820 --> 00:29:30,988
- Rain check. No, I got a hot date.
- Come on.
445
00:29:31,948 --> 00:29:35,200
Yeah? Who is she and what
did you arrest her for?
446
00:29:35,660 --> 00:29:37,077
It's confidential.
447
00:29:37,287 --> 00:29:42,207
Like that magazine that
Vincennes scams for. Hush-Hush.
448
00:29:43,376 --> 00:29:45,210
I'll see you later in the week.
449
00:29:45,795 --> 00:29:47,754
We'll do the town, on me.
450
00:29:47,964 --> 00:29:50,966
Yeah. I'll bring my
wallet just in case.
451
00:29:55,221 --> 00:29:57,472
- See you tomorrow.
- Hang on a minute.
452
00:29:58,308 --> 00:29:59,725
I'll walk down with you.
453
00:30:08,401 --> 00:30:11,069
Punk kid. Who the hell
is he trying to impress?
454
00:30:11,988 --> 00:30:15,741
- Yeah, I wonder.
- Got himself a real career going.
455
00:30:19,996 --> 00:30:22,414
Sergeant Williams,
pick up, please.
456
00:30:23,583 --> 00:30:25,250
Sergeant Williams?
457
00:30:28,504 --> 00:30:31,340
Is there anybody up
there in Homicide?
458
00:30:32,342 --> 00:30:33,925
Anybody there?
459
00:30:36,179 --> 00:30:37,387
Lieutenant Exley.
460
00:30:37,597 --> 00:30:39,556
You've got a homicide downtown.
461
00:30:39,766 --> 00:30:44,019
- The Nite Owl Coffee Shop.
- I got it. it's mine.
462
00:30:55,615 --> 00:30:58,408
Sir, at least one person's dead.
I stopped for coffee.
463
00:30:58,618 --> 00:31:00,952
No one comes through the front door.
Understand?
464
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:02,829
Yes, sir.
465
00:32:37,675 --> 00:32:40,343
I want barricades at both ends
of the street. Make sure...
466
00:32:40,511 --> 00:32:43,972
Sir? I took the call.
It's my case.
467
00:32:44,557 --> 00:32:46,808
You don't want it, Edmund,
and you can't have it.
468
00:32:46,976 --> 00:32:50,020
- I took the call.
- It's mine.
469
00:32:50,396 --> 00:32:51,756
I'll make you my
second-in-command.
470
00:32:51,898 --> 00:32:53,732
Captain Smith?
Over here, please.
471
00:32:53,900 --> 00:32:56,735
- The back door.
- Nobody else inside.
472
00:32:58,571 --> 00:33:00,906
Looks like the cook drew a
handgun and set it off.
473
00:33:01,073 --> 00:33:02,991
The rest were killed
in the men's room.
474
00:33:07,497 --> 00:33:08,663
Sir...
475
00:33:08,915 --> 00:33:12,667
we got a total of 15 spent
12-gauge Remington shotgun shells.
476
00:33:12,835 --> 00:33:17,047
I'm betting three men, five-shot capacity
pumps, all of them emptying once.
477
00:33:17,215 --> 00:33:20,175
Excuse me, sir, we got an
ID on one of the victims.
478
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,177
It's Dick Stensland.
479
00:33:24,764 --> 00:33:27,307
When I first saw her, I thought
she was Rita Hayworth.
480
00:33:27,517 --> 00:33:28,934
Yeah, me too.
481
00:33:38,653 --> 00:33:40,779
Hell of a way to avoid
a prison sentence.
482
00:33:51,457 --> 00:33:52,749
You tell me what happened?
483
00:33:53,292 --> 00:33:55,877
Appears three men held
up a coffee shop.
484
00:33:56,087 --> 00:33:58,922
The guy at the register pulled
a .38, so they killed him.
485
00:33:59,423 --> 00:34:02,801
Then they took everyone else
out back and killed them too.
486
00:34:04,095 --> 00:34:07,138
Lieutenant, we're ready
with that Nite Owl ID.
487
00:34:12,645 --> 00:34:14,604
Is this your daughter, Mrs.
Lefferts?
488
00:34:15,314 --> 00:34:16,982
I don't know.
489
00:34:17,775 --> 00:34:20,443
We know this is difficult.
Just take your time.
490
00:34:22,154 --> 00:34:24,489
It seems like my Susan...
491
00:34:24,657 --> 00:34:27,617
but my Susan was a
blond, not a redhead.
492
00:34:27,785 --> 00:34:29,661
When was the last
time you saw her?
493
00:34:30,121 --> 00:34:32,122
Just before Christmas.
494
00:34:32,665 --> 00:34:35,584
We'd fought. I didn't
like her boyfriend.
495
00:34:36,168 --> 00:34:40,130
Mrs. Lefferts, does your daughter have
any distinguishing characteristics?
496
00:34:41,173 --> 00:34:44,134
You got the wrong idea, mister.
I'm fine.
497
00:34:44,969 --> 00:34:48,138
She has a birthmark on her hip.
498
00:34:53,978 --> 00:34:55,520
It's her.
499
00:34:56,188 --> 00:34:58,315
My baby.
500
00:35:01,527 --> 00:35:03,361
I'm sorry, Mrs. Lefferts.
501
00:35:04,530 --> 00:35:06,948
Who's in charge of
this investigation?
502
00:35:07,366 --> 00:35:08,867
Captain Smith and myself. Why?
503
00:35:11,537 --> 00:35:12,954
"The Nite Owl Massacre."
504
00:35:13,122 --> 00:35:14,914
Hyperbole aside...
505
00:35:15,124 --> 00:35:18,793
this is a heinous crime that
requires swift resolution.
506
00:35:19,712 --> 00:35:20,837
Six victims.
507
00:35:21,047 --> 00:35:23,715
One of them one of our own.
Dick Stensland.
508
00:35:23,883 --> 00:35:28,303
As it happens, he was a Nite Owl regular,
in the wrong place at the wrong time.
509
00:35:28,721 --> 00:35:30,680
Robbery is the likely motive.
510
00:35:30,890 --> 00:35:32,974
We have rubber-glove
smears on the register...
511
00:35:33,142 --> 00:35:37,103
and preliminary forensics strongly
tend towards a trio of shooters.
512
00:35:37,271 --> 00:35:39,314
We do have one hot
lead, so listen well.
513
00:35:39,732 --> 00:35:41,691
Three Negro juveniles...
514
00:35:41,901 --> 00:35:45,528
were seen discharging shotguns
last night in Griffith Park.
515
00:35:45,738 --> 00:35:49,783
A park ranger ID'd them as driving
a 1948 to 1950 Mercury coupe...
516
00:35:49,992 --> 00:35:51,368
maroon in color.
517
00:35:51,827 --> 00:35:55,538
An hour ago, a canvassing crew
turned up a news vendor...
518
00:35:55,706 --> 00:35:59,417
who saw a maroon Merc parked across
from the Nite Owl around 1 a.m.
519
00:35:59,919 --> 00:36:03,713
DMV has come up with a
registration list of Merc coupes.
520
00:36:04,924 --> 00:36:09,427
Forty-eight two-man teams will
shake three names apiece.
521
00:36:10,096 --> 00:36:12,722
Interrogations will be led
by Lieutenant Edmund Exley.
522
00:36:16,185 --> 00:36:17,936
Enough on that.
523
00:36:20,773 --> 00:36:24,442
Gentlemen, just go out and get them.
Use all necessary force.
524
00:36:25,569 --> 00:36:27,779
The people of Los
Angeles demand it.
525
00:36:28,406 --> 00:36:29,739
Dismissed.
526
00:36:33,119 --> 00:36:35,120
Why not just put a
bounty on them?
527
00:36:42,420 --> 00:36:43,712
You ready to roll?
528
00:36:43,879 --> 00:36:45,630
Take them. I got
something I gotta do.
529
00:36:45,798 --> 00:36:49,467
- What if one of these names...?
- Get somebody else.
530
00:36:50,302 --> 00:36:52,554
Well, I got our
assignments, Big V.
531
00:36:52,763 --> 00:36:55,807
We go by this list, we got zero
chance of making this collar.
532
00:36:55,975 --> 00:36:58,643
I got a guy who knows what's
going on south of Jefferson.
533
00:36:58,811 --> 00:37:02,105
- He can put us at fifty-fifty.
- Jack, what are you doing?
534
00:37:02,565 --> 00:37:05,150
Same sort of thing that got
you in trouble last time.
535
00:37:05,317 --> 00:37:06,776
I'll take those odds.
536
00:37:10,823 --> 00:37:12,323
We got it from here.
537
00:37:14,410 --> 00:37:16,995
Between the two of you, you
should bring a photographer.
538
00:37:22,001 --> 00:37:25,503
I need an address on a customer of yours.
Her name is Lynn.
539
00:37:25,671 --> 00:37:27,505
- That's all I got to go on?
- Yeah.
540
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,341
I think you already know who
I mean, so cough it up.
541
00:37:30,676 --> 00:37:33,845
There's a billing address
and a delivery address.
542
00:38:00,539 --> 00:38:02,332
Are you Pierce Patchett?
543
00:38:03,375 --> 00:38:04,709
I am.
544
00:38:06,712 --> 00:38:10,840
Are you soliciting for police charities?
Last time you called at my office.
545
00:38:11,217 --> 00:38:14,177
Go on down to the driveway.
We'll talk there.
546
00:38:25,189 --> 00:38:26,731
What can I do for you?
547
00:38:27,733 --> 00:38:31,361
- Where were you last night?
- I was here hosting a party.
548
00:38:33,072 --> 00:38:37,200
- Tell me about Dick Stensland.
- I don't know him, Mr ...?
549
00:38:37,535 --> 00:38:38,910
Officer White.
550
00:38:39,995 --> 00:38:41,246
Sue Lefferts? You know her?
551
00:38:41,580 --> 00:38:43,873
You know I do. You
saw me with her.
552
00:38:45,584 --> 00:38:47,252
How did you find me?
553
00:38:47,878 --> 00:38:52,048
Nick's Liquor. This is where
Lynn Bracken's booze bills go.
554
00:38:52,258 --> 00:38:53,883
Of course.
555
00:38:56,762 --> 00:38:58,930
Sue Lefferts died
at the Nite Owl.
556
00:38:59,557 --> 00:39:01,224
I'm investigating.
557
00:39:03,394 --> 00:39:07,272
- Everything all right?
- Fine, Phillip. Thank you.
558
00:39:11,443 --> 00:39:14,028
What happened to the
other guy, Buzz?
559
00:39:14,196 --> 00:39:16,614
Buzz Meeks no longer
works for me.
560
00:39:16,782 --> 00:39:19,367
Lefferts looked beat-up Christmas
Eve but didn't act it.
561
00:39:19,535 --> 00:39:22,537
I think she'd been hit in the face
with a tennis racket. She is...
562
00:39:22,705 --> 00:39:25,290
Was a big doubles fan.
563
00:39:26,125 --> 00:39:29,127
You're a known associate of a
woman killed in a mass murder.
564
00:39:29,962 --> 00:39:32,422
Wanna go downtown and
discuss this officially?
565
00:39:32,590 --> 00:39:34,299
Is that what this is? Official?
566
00:39:35,092 --> 00:39:39,637
Somehow I have the feeling this is
more personal with you, Mr. White.
567
00:39:42,933 --> 00:39:44,434
All right, then...
568
00:39:45,269 --> 00:39:49,731
are you concerned about criminal matters
peripheral to the Nite Owl murders?
569
00:39:49,899 --> 00:39:51,597
Not at the moment.
570
00:39:51,609 --> 00:39:53,318
You wouldn't feel
obligated to report them?
571
00:39:55,654 --> 00:39:57,822
Why were Lefferts' eyes black?
572
00:39:58,157 --> 00:40:00,992
I needed a Rita Hayworth to
fill out my little studio.
573
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:02,327
What little studio?
574
00:40:02,494 --> 00:40:06,164
Well, there's Gardner,
Russell, Monroe, Turner...
575
00:40:06,332 --> 00:40:08,666
Lynn Bracken is
my Veronica Lake.
576
00:40:09,168 --> 00:40:11,669
I use girls that look
like movie stars.
577
00:40:11,837 --> 00:40:14,464
Sometimes I employ
a plastic surgeon.
578
00:40:15,007 --> 00:40:17,467
When the work had been done,
that's when you saw us.
579
00:40:18,260 --> 00:40:20,011
That's why her mother
couldn't ID her.
580
00:40:21,639 --> 00:40:23,097
Jesus fucking Christ.
581
00:40:23,307 --> 00:40:25,350
No, Mr. White, Pierce
Morehouse Patchett.
582
00:40:27,686 --> 00:40:31,189
I sense you're on your best behavior,
but that's all I'm gonna tell you.
583
00:40:31,565 --> 00:40:33,691
If you persist, I'll meet
you with my attorney.
584
00:40:34,818 --> 00:40:37,028
Now, would you like
Lynn Bracken's address?
585
00:40:37,196 --> 00:40:38,863
I got her address.
586
00:40:40,157 --> 00:40:42,200
Find Susan's killer, Mr. White.
587
00:40:42,701 --> 00:40:44,827
I'll give you a handsome reward.
588
00:40:50,167 --> 00:40:52,251
Whatever you desire.
589
00:40:59,718 --> 00:41:01,302
Come on. I know
you're not asleep.
590
00:41:03,722 --> 00:41:05,723
You talking to me?
What do you want?
591
00:41:05,891 --> 00:41:07,558
My 5 bucks.
592
00:41:07,726 --> 00:41:10,186
It was the only one I had.
593
00:41:10,396 --> 00:41:11,562
Right now?
594
00:41:12,064 --> 00:41:14,565
Hey, doll face, tell
him to leave us alone.
595
00:41:14,733 --> 00:41:17,068
I understand. Okay, fine.
596
00:41:18,570 --> 00:41:19,737
Oh, baby...
597
00:41:21,031 --> 00:41:22,407
bad news.
598
00:41:22,574 --> 00:41:23,741
You have to go.
599
00:41:23,909 --> 00:41:25,076
Go?
600
00:41:25,411 --> 00:41:28,079
Something very important has
come up and you have to go...
601
00:41:28,247 --> 00:41:30,999
but I'll make it
up to you, okay?
602
00:41:32,376 --> 00:41:33,751
I will, I promise. Excuse me.
603
00:41:36,255 --> 00:41:37,714
Is it the cops?
604
00:41:42,261 --> 00:41:44,762
Miss Bracken, I'm Officer White.
605
00:41:44,930 --> 00:41:47,557
I've been expecting you,
just not this soon.
606
00:41:47,725 --> 00:41:50,435
Pierce called. He told
me what happened to Sue.
607
00:41:50,602 --> 00:41:53,771
Everything all right, doll?
Want me to get rid of him?
608
00:41:54,106 --> 00:41:55,940
Hit the road, pal.
609
00:41:57,443 --> 00:41:58,901
Maybe I will...
610
00:41:59,445 --> 00:42:00,903
maybe I won't.
611
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,907
L.A.P.D., shit-bird. Get out of here or
I'll call your wife to come get you.
612
00:42:21,467 --> 00:42:23,051
- Officer.
- Councilman.
613
00:42:41,653 --> 00:42:45,156
- Would you care for a drink?
- Yeah, Scotch straight.
614
00:42:50,954 --> 00:42:54,624
I was friendly with Sue Lefferts,
but we weren't friends.
615
00:42:54,958 --> 00:42:56,292
You know what I mean?
616
00:42:56,668 --> 00:42:58,336
You sorry she's dead?
617
00:43:00,130 --> 00:43:01,631
Of course I am.
618
00:43:01,965 --> 00:43:03,841
What kind of question is that?
619
00:43:06,011 --> 00:43:08,304
Do you know why Pierce
is humoring you?
620
00:43:08,514 --> 00:43:10,848
Use words like that,
you might make me mad.
621
00:43:11,183 --> 00:43:13,810
- But do you know?
- Yeah, I know.
622
00:43:14,812 --> 00:43:19,941
Patchett's running whores cut
to look like movie stars.
623
00:43:20,150 --> 00:43:23,653
And judging by his address, probably
something bigger on the side.
624
00:43:23,821 --> 00:43:25,696
He doesn't want any attention.
625
00:43:25,989 --> 00:43:29,534
That's right. Our motives are
selfish, so we're cooperating.
626
00:43:29,701 --> 00:43:32,620
So cooperate. Why was Susan
Lefferts at the Nite Owl?
627
00:43:33,038 --> 00:43:35,665
I don't know. I never heard
of the Nite Owl till today.
628
00:43:35,833 --> 00:43:38,793
- How did she meet Patchett?
- Pierce meets people.
629
00:43:39,002 --> 00:43:42,839
Sue came on a bus with dreams of Hollywood
and this is how they turned out.
630
00:43:43,382 --> 00:43:47,218
Thanks to Pierce, we still
get to act a little.
631
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,054
Tell me about Pierce.
632
00:43:50,389 --> 00:43:52,473
He's waiting for you
to mention money.
633
00:43:53,684 --> 00:43:56,853
- You want some advice, Miss Bracken?
- It's Lynn.
634
00:43:57,229 --> 00:44:01,691
Miss Bracken, don't ever try to
fucking bribe me or threaten me...
635
00:44:01,859 --> 00:44:04,485
or I'll have you and Patchett
in shit up to your ears.
636
00:44:05,571 --> 00:44:08,030
I remember you from
Christmas Eve.
637
00:44:09,241 --> 00:44:12,410
You have a thing for helping
women, don't you, Officer White?
638
00:44:13,245 --> 00:44:15,037
Maybe I'm just fucking curious.
639
00:44:15,372 --> 00:44:18,708
- You say "fuck" a lot.
- You fuck for money.
640
00:44:18,917 --> 00:44:22,545
There's blood on your shirt. Is
that an integral part of your job?
641
00:44:22,713 --> 00:44:24,422
- Yeah.
- Do you enjoy it?
642
00:44:24,590 --> 00:44:27,341
- When they deserve it.
- Did they deserve it today?
643
00:44:29,052 --> 00:44:30,094
I'm not sure.
644
00:44:30,262 --> 00:44:31,762
- But you did it anyway.
- Yeah.
645
00:44:32,556 --> 00:44:34,765
Just like the half-dozen
guys you screwed today.
646
00:44:36,059 --> 00:44:38,102
Well, actually, it was only two.
647
00:44:40,564 --> 00:44:42,523
You're different, Officer White.
648
00:44:42,691 --> 00:44:47,236
You're the first man in five years who
didn't tell me I look like Veronica Lake.
649
00:44:47,404 --> 00:44:49,197
You look better
than Veronica Lake.
650
00:44:54,745 --> 00:44:55,786
Pierce Patchett?
651
00:44:57,456 --> 00:45:00,291
He takes a cut of our earnings
and invests it for us.
652
00:45:00,459 --> 00:45:03,628
He doesn't let us use narcotics
and he doesn't abuse us.
653
00:45:03,962 --> 00:45:08,132
Can your policeman's mentality
grasp those contradictions?
654
00:45:09,968 --> 00:45:12,303
He had you cut to look
like Veronica Lake.
655
00:45:12,471 --> 00:45:13,930
No.
656
00:45:14,097 --> 00:45:17,266
I'm really a brunette,
but the rest is me.
657
00:45:18,810 --> 00:45:21,437
And that's all the news
that's fit to print.
658
00:45:22,648 --> 00:45:25,066
It was nice meeting
you, officer.
659
00:45:29,321 --> 00:45:33,115
- I'd like to see you again.
- You asking for a date, or an appointment?
660
00:45:35,118 --> 00:45:36,410
I don't know.
661
00:45:36,578 --> 00:45:38,401
For a date, I should
know your first name.
662
00:45:38,413 --> 00:45:40,248
Forget I asked.
663
00:45:41,291 --> 00:45:42,792
It was a mistake.
664
00:46:03,355 --> 00:46:04,814
Leonard Bidwell?
665
00:46:05,983 --> 00:46:07,984
Come on down here
and talk to us.
666
00:46:10,028 --> 00:46:12,947
- How's the left these days?
- What's it to you?
667
00:46:13,115 --> 00:46:16,826
Oh, I saw you fight Kid Gavilan.
I like your style.
668
00:46:19,329 --> 00:46:21,205
What do you want, Mr. Policeman?
669
00:46:21,999 --> 00:46:24,542
You got a brother in Folsom.
I know, I put him there.
670
00:46:24,710 --> 00:46:25,793
Until 19-fucking-70.
671
00:46:26,003 --> 00:46:28,045
How'd you like to make it 1960?
672
00:46:28,338 --> 00:46:30,715
I know the judge, and
Lieutenant Exley here...
673
00:46:30,882 --> 00:46:33,050
is very good friends
with the DA.
674
00:46:34,052 --> 00:46:35,428
Yeah.
675
00:46:35,595 --> 00:46:39,056
We're looking for three colored
guys who like to pop off shotguns.
676
00:46:39,224 --> 00:46:41,392
One owns a maroon Mercury coupe.
677
00:46:41,727 --> 00:46:44,895
- Wanna give me a snitch jacket?
- Wanna buy your brother 10 years?
678
00:46:45,063 --> 00:46:46,981
- It was 10 years, right?
- Yeah, 10 years.
679
00:46:47,190 --> 00:46:50,401
You don't have to say anything,
just look at this list...
680
00:46:50,736 --> 00:46:52,236
and point.
681
00:46:54,573 --> 00:46:56,574
He's bad, so I'll just tell you.
682
00:46:57,034 --> 00:46:58,409
Sugar Ray Collins.
683
00:46:58,577 --> 00:47:00,870
Drives a maroon '49 coupe.
684
00:47:01,371 --> 00:47:03,039
Beautiful ride.
685
00:47:03,707 --> 00:47:07,918
Don't know about shotguns, but he
gets his thrills killing dogs.
686
00:47:08,211 --> 00:47:09,503
He's righteous trash.
687
00:47:09,921 --> 00:47:13,090
Look at that. It's five
minutes from here. Thanks.
688
00:47:15,260 --> 00:47:16,761
So I'll hear from you, right?
689
00:47:17,763 --> 00:47:21,724
- About my brother?
- Keep it up, Lenny. Up.
690
00:47:27,731 --> 00:47:30,024
There it is. It's in the back.
691
00:47:47,292 --> 00:47:49,919
- One of ours.
- Shit, somebody beat us here.
692
00:47:55,967 --> 00:47:57,551
- Damn it.
- What?
693
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,638
- My glasses.
- You're kidding.
694
00:48:02,140 --> 00:48:04,141
Well, just don't shoot me.
695
00:48:12,943 --> 00:48:14,777
What are you guys doing here?
696
00:48:15,779 --> 00:48:17,488
We were just in
the neighborhood.
697
00:48:17,656 --> 00:48:18,656
What do you got?
698
00:48:18,824 --> 00:48:22,243
Three 12-gauge pumps, an empty box
of double-aught buck, and some cash.
699
00:48:24,579 --> 00:48:27,331
So long, Vice. "Badge
of Honor", here I come.
700
00:48:27,499 --> 00:48:30,668
- Fuck you, Vincennes. This is our collar.
- Quiet.
701
00:48:30,836 --> 00:48:34,505
I'm ranking officer here. We go as a team.
End of story.
702
00:48:39,803 --> 00:48:40,845
Yeah, right.
703
00:48:42,180 --> 00:48:45,808
- How many ways in?
- Only one. Up the stairs.
704
00:48:47,185 --> 00:48:49,186
He's very serious.
705
00:49:03,702 --> 00:49:05,870
- Police.
- Don't shoot.
706
00:49:06,037 --> 00:49:07,621
No!
707
00:49:07,789 --> 00:49:09,039
- Don't move.
- Ace him, Jack.
708
00:49:09,207 --> 00:49:11,542
- Shut up.
- Anxious, aren't you?
709
00:49:11,710 --> 00:49:12,835
Don't kill them.
710
00:49:14,421 --> 00:49:17,673
- Hey.
- Back, back, back.
711
00:49:17,841 --> 00:49:21,385
- Man, get off me.
- Against the wall. Against the wall.
712
00:49:21,553 --> 00:49:23,888
- Put your hands up.
- Get over there. Come on.
713
00:49:25,015 --> 00:49:26,849
Now, shut up. Hands
behind your back.
714
00:49:28,018 --> 00:49:29,059
So...
715
00:49:29,686 --> 00:49:32,396
how's it feel getting
out of the office?
716
00:49:38,403 --> 00:49:40,070
This just came up
from Forensics.
717
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:41,739
"Burning clothes.
718
00:49:42,949 --> 00:49:45,075
Casitas Youth Camp ..."
719
00:49:48,455 --> 00:49:52,666
- it's crowded in here, White.
- These guys killed Stensland.
720
00:50:09,267 --> 00:50:12,102
Ejection marks on the shells
from the suspects' shotguns...
721
00:50:12,270 --> 00:50:15,439
are identical to the marks on the
shell casings at the Nite Owl.
722
00:50:15,774 --> 00:50:17,775
I want confessions, Edmund.
723
00:50:17,943 --> 00:50:20,945
A night's stewing ought
to have softened them up.
724
00:50:21,363 --> 00:50:23,113
Oh, I'll break them, sir.
725
00:50:43,134 --> 00:50:46,136
Are you sure Golden Boy
is up to the task, cap?
726
00:50:46,805 --> 00:50:49,807
Oh, I think you'd be surprised
what the lad is capable of.
727
00:50:52,143 --> 00:50:54,103
You're 22. Aren't you, Ray?
728
00:50:59,568 --> 00:51:01,318
Did one of the officers
work you over?
729
00:51:03,738 --> 00:51:06,657
- You're 22, right?
- Why do you keep asking that?
730
00:51:06,825 --> 00:51:09,243
Twenty-two makes it a
gas-chamber bounce.
731
00:51:09,661 --> 00:51:12,121
You should've pulled
this caper years ago.
732
00:51:12,289 --> 00:51:15,499
Get life, do a little
Youth Authority jolt...
733
00:51:15,667 --> 00:51:17,585
transfer to Folsom a big man.
734
00:51:17,919 --> 00:51:21,922
- Get yourself a sissy...
- Hey, I don't truck with no sissies.
735
00:51:24,843 --> 00:51:27,636
- Louis.
- What?
736
00:51:29,264 --> 00:51:31,849
You did the Casitas
Youth Camp with Louis.
737
00:51:32,100 --> 00:51:35,936
Why do you keep asking me about Louis?
His business is his business.
738
00:51:36,104 --> 00:51:39,607
Sugar, Louis told me you
went sissy up at Casitas.
739
00:51:39,774 --> 00:51:43,861
You couldn't do the time, so you got
a big white boy to look after you.
740
00:51:44,029 --> 00:51:48,699
Said they called you "Sugar"
because you gave it out so sweet.
741
00:51:49,534 --> 00:51:53,704
Louis gave it up at Casitas, man.
I was the boss jock in my dorm.
742
00:51:53,872 --> 00:51:54,955
Louis was the sissy.
743
00:51:55,290 --> 00:51:59,376
Louis gave it up for fucking candy bars.
He ain't got the sense of a goddamn dog.
744
00:52:00,462 --> 00:52:04,465
- I heard you like to shoot dogs.
- Dogs got no reason to live.
745
00:52:06,468 --> 00:52:09,887
- You feel the same way about people too?
- What you trying to say?
746
00:52:10,305 --> 00:52:13,474
- We got the shotguns, Ray.
- I don't own no shotguns.
747
00:52:13,642 --> 00:52:16,018
Why were you throwing
clothes in the incinerator?
748
00:52:16,311 --> 00:52:17,353
Say what?
749
00:52:17,854 --> 00:52:22,316
A neighbor said she saw you throwing
clothes in the backyard incinerator.
750
00:52:22,525 --> 00:52:23,734
It doesn't look good.
751
00:52:23,902 --> 00:52:26,070
I ain't got shit to say
till I see a judge.
752
00:52:26,279 --> 00:52:29,823
Were you on hop? You were passed out
when we arrested you. You hopped up?
753
00:52:30,033 --> 00:52:32,576
Ty and Louis fuck with
that shit, not me.
754
00:52:32,786 --> 00:52:34,536
Where do they get their stuff?
755
00:52:35,872 --> 00:52:37,039
- Man...
- Come on.
756
00:52:37,457 --> 00:52:40,668
Give me one to feed the DA.
It'll make me look good...
757
00:52:40,877 --> 00:52:44,588
and I'll say Sugar Ray's not a
punk like his sissy partners.
758
00:52:49,844 --> 00:52:51,095
All right, Raymond.
759
00:52:51,262 --> 00:52:53,514
Tell me one more thing
about Jones and Fontaine.
760
00:52:53,890 --> 00:52:55,182
Where do they get drugs?
761
00:52:58,228 --> 00:52:59,770
Roland Navarette.
762
00:53:01,356 --> 00:53:04,024
He runs a hole-up
on Bunker Hill.
763
00:53:04,192 --> 00:53:06,193
And he sells red devils.
764
00:53:06,986 --> 00:53:09,863
- Exley's good, I'll give him that.
- I'm gonna take a break.
765
00:53:13,910 --> 00:53:16,954
You know, Ray, I'm talking
about the gas chamber...
766
00:53:17,831 --> 00:53:20,374
and you haven't even asked
me what this is about.
767
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,669
You got a big "guilty"
sign around your neck.
768
00:53:28,425 --> 00:53:31,635
That was masterful, Edmund.
This one's ready to go.
769
00:53:39,477 --> 00:53:42,062
Give Jones the newspaper.
I want him primed.
770
00:53:42,272 --> 00:53:44,606
Take the cuffs off,
so he can read it.
771
00:53:45,150 --> 00:53:48,944
Ray Collins just ratted you off.
Said the Nite Owl was your idea.
772
00:53:49,112 --> 00:53:52,823
I think it was Ray's idea. You talk,
I think I can save your life.
773
00:53:54,284 --> 00:53:57,161
Son, six people are dead, and
someone has to pay for it.
774
00:53:57,328 --> 00:54:00,289
Now, it can be you,
or it can be Ray.
775
00:54:02,459 --> 00:54:04,293
Louis, he called you queer.
776
00:54:04,627 --> 00:54:08,464
- Said at Casitas, you took it up the ass.
- I didn't kill nobody!
777
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:11,967
Son...
778
00:54:13,803 --> 00:54:16,430
you know what's gonna happen
to you if you don't talk.
779
00:54:16,598 --> 00:54:20,517
You'll go to the gas chamber. So for
God's sake, admit what you did.
780
00:54:20,685 --> 00:54:22,436
I didn't mean to hurt her.
781
00:54:22,645 --> 00:54:25,481
- Maybe she's okay.
- Okay?
782
00:54:26,649 --> 00:54:30,110
These people are all in the morgue.
They were dead when you left them.
783
00:54:30,278 --> 00:54:34,823
I just wanted to lose my cherry.
She don't die, so I don't die.
784
00:54:35,158 --> 00:54:37,785
She don't die, so I don't die.
785
00:54:37,952 --> 00:54:40,579
Louis, who's the girl?
What's her name?
786
00:54:40,997 --> 00:54:42,748
Who are you talking about?
787
00:54:43,333 --> 00:54:45,083
Was she at the Nite Owl?
788
00:54:45,668 --> 00:54:48,003
Louis, listen to me. Was
she at the Nite Owl?
789
00:54:55,345 --> 00:54:57,888
- This newspaper shit ain't shit.
- Where's the girl?
790
00:54:58,056 --> 00:54:59,556
Did you kill her?
791
00:54:59,724 --> 00:55:02,267
You wanted Louis to lose his cherry.
That wasn't enough.
792
00:55:02,435 --> 00:55:04,394
Things got out of hand.
You made her bleed.
793
00:55:04,562 --> 00:55:06,980
She bled on your clothes,
so you burned the clothes.
794
00:55:07,148 --> 00:55:09,066
Who told you that?
795
00:55:09,359 --> 00:55:10,818
Now, listen to me.
796
00:55:11,027 --> 00:55:13,570
If that girl is alive, she's
the only chance you've got.
797
00:55:13,738 --> 00:55:17,074
- I think she's alive.
- You think? Then where is she now?
798
00:55:17,242 --> 00:55:20,244
Did you leave her someplace?
Sell her out?
799
00:55:20,411 --> 00:55:22,079
- Tell me where she is.
- Move.
800
00:55:24,165 --> 00:55:27,251
What are you doing, man? Don't.
801
00:55:28,378 --> 00:55:29,419
White.
802
00:55:30,588 --> 00:55:34,091
- One in six. Where's the girl?
- White, I have this under control.
803
00:55:34,259 --> 00:55:36,802
- Put the weapon down.
- Where is the girl?
804
00:55:42,225 --> 00:55:44,226
- Sylvester.
- What?
805
00:55:44,394 --> 00:55:48,021
Sylvester Fitch, 109 Avalon...
806
00:55:48,481 --> 00:55:52,067
brown corner house, upstairs.
807
00:56:03,454 --> 00:56:05,747
- Captain, just give me one minute.
- You got it.
808
00:56:11,921 --> 00:56:15,132
Nobody moves. The rest of
us are going in the front.
809
00:56:15,300 --> 00:56:17,676
Stay put until I give the word.
810
00:58:43,114 --> 00:58:44,906
He went around back, sir.
811
00:58:46,492 --> 00:58:48,994
Miss, I'm Lieutenant Exley.
I'm sorry to ask you this.
812
00:58:49,162 --> 00:58:53,165
- I need to know what time they left you.
- Get her to the hospital. Excuse me.
813
00:58:53,666 --> 00:58:55,083
Give your career a rest.
814
00:58:55,585 --> 00:58:56,918
Leave her alone.
815
00:58:57,086 --> 00:58:59,755
A naked guy with a gun? You
expect anyone to believe that?
816
00:58:59,922 --> 00:59:02,174
Get the fuck away from me.
817
00:59:02,341 --> 00:59:05,218
- How's it gonna look in your report?
- It'll look like justice.
818
00:59:05,386 --> 00:59:07,804
That's what the man got.
Justice.
819
00:59:07,972 --> 00:59:10,140
You don't know the
meaning of the word.
820
00:59:10,933 --> 00:59:14,227
Yeah? Well, you think it means
getting your picture in the paper.
821
00:59:14,437 --> 00:59:16,730
Go after criminals for a
change, instead of cops.
822
00:59:16,898 --> 00:59:19,066
Stensland got what he
deserved and so will you.
823
00:59:24,489 --> 00:59:25,739
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
824
00:59:28,993 --> 00:59:30,327
Take it easy. Come on, Bud.
825
00:59:31,329 --> 00:59:33,830
Come on. Let it go.
826
00:59:33,998 --> 00:59:35,999
It's best to stay away
when his blood is up.
827
00:59:36,167 --> 00:59:37,793
His blood's always up.
828
00:59:39,295 --> 00:59:41,338
You should stay away
from him altogether.
829
00:59:42,215 --> 00:59:45,592
Raymond Collins, Ty Jones
and Louis Fontaine.
830
00:59:45,802 --> 00:59:48,512
They are considered armed
and extremely dangerous.
831
00:59:48,721 --> 00:59:51,348
Repeat. The Nite Owl
suspects have escaped.
832
00:59:51,808 --> 00:59:53,683
How did they get out the window?
833
00:59:53,893 --> 00:59:55,769
They jumped from
the second floor.
834
00:59:55,978 --> 00:59:58,396
Girl made her statement.
Jigs left her at midnight.
835
00:59:58,564 --> 01:00:00,190
Time to be at the Nite Owl by 1.
836
01:00:01,150 --> 01:00:04,653
The question was where did they get
their drugs. What was the answer?
837
01:00:04,821 --> 01:00:06,905
I haven't gotten that far yet.
838
01:00:07,156 --> 01:00:10,784
"Roland Navarette, lives on
Bunker Hill, runs a hole-up..."
839
01:00:13,079 --> 01:00:14,454
Anyone seen Jack Vincennes?
840
01:00:16,499 --> 01:00:20,210
- Is something up, lieutenant?
- I need some backup. Come on.
841
01:00:37,436 --> 01:00:39,688
- What?
- Nothing. Let's go.
842
01:00:48,197 --> 01:00:49,614
This should be it.
843
01:00:54,203 --> 01:00:56,121
404.
844
01:01:16,934 --> 01:01:18,602
Nobody moves.
845
01:01:19,604 --> 01:01:22,189
- Stay right there. You're under arrest.
- Don't shoot.
846
01:01:22,356 --> 01:01:25,275
- Please don't shoot.
- Don't move. Don't move.
847
01:02:17,453 --> 01:02:20,580
There he is. You did good, kid.
848
01:02:20,790 --> 01:02:24,042
You should've seen the place. It
was a nightmare. Blood everywhere.
849
01:02:24,627 --> 01:02:26,586
Who would have thought?
Shotgun Ed.
850
01:02:26,754 --> 01:02:29,631
- Shotgun Ed.
- Somebody get him cleaned up.
851
01:02:29,882 --> 01:02:31,508
Come on, kid.
852
01:02:34,136 --> 01:02:37,430
Edmund J. Exley has amassed
a brilliant record...
853
01:02:37,598 --> 01:02:40,767
in his seven years with the Los
Angeles Police Department.
854
01:02:40,977 --> 01:02:44,104
Recently, he evinced spectacular
bravery in the line of duty.
855
01:02:44,313 --> 01:02:47,148
It is our privilege to present
him with our highest honor:
856
01:02:47,483 --> 01:02:49,192
The Medal of Valor.
857
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:51,695
- What kind of car was it?
- It was a Ford.
858
01:02:51,904 --> 01:02:54,698
My husband always drove a Ford.
I know what they look like.
859
01:02:55,324 --> 01:02:58,118
Excuse me, ma'am. Just the facts.
Light or dark?
860
01:02:58,286 --> 01:03:02,080
Light. And that's really
all I remember, officer.
861
01:03:02,999 --> 01:03:05,000
Thank you, ma'am.
You've been a big help.
862
01:03:05,501 --> 01:03:07,210
Cut. That's a print.
863
01:03:07,420 --> 01:03:10,422
- Hey, Big Jack.
- He's back.
864
01:03:10,589 --> 01:03:14,217
Hey. Jack's back. Ha-ha.
865
01:03:45,791 --> 01:03:49,377
Tell Mr. Patchett that I have no
intention of changing my vote.
866
01:04:00,973 --> 01:04:05,810
It may surprise some that a man in office
would admit to making a mistake...
867
01:04:06,645 --> 01:04:09,064
but after due consideration...
868
01:04:09,648 --> 01:04:12,901
I am changing my position on
the matter before the council.
869
01:04:14,695 --> 01:04:18,031
"Go west, America," was the
slogan of Manifest Destiny.
870
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:22,035
Today is that last step
westward with no stop signs...
871
01:04:22,203 --> 01:04:26,206
no traffic signals, from downtown
to the beach in 20 minutes.
872
01:04:57,613 --> 01:04:59,614
What were you gonna start with?
873
01:05:01,867 --> 01:05:03,368
Prostitution?
874
01:05:05,121 --> 01:05:06,454
Gambling?
875
01:05:09,792 --> 01:05:13,962
Go back to Jersey, sonny. This
is the City of the Angels...
876
01:05:14,130 --> 01:05:16,297
and you haven't got any wings.
877
01:05:39,155 --> 01:05:41,489
Nice to see you again.
Take care.
878
01:06:18,819 --> 01:06:22,030
I wondered when you might knock
on my door again, Officer White.
879
01:06:22,698 --> 01:06:24,032
It's Bud.
880
01:06:25,451 --> 01:06:26,618
Bud.
881
01:06:55,981 --> 01:06:57,065
Why me?
882
01:06:59,151 --> 01:07:00,401
I don't know.
883
01:07:37,022 --> 01:07:38,273
This election...
884
01:07:38,482 --> 01:07:41,776
is about the future of law
enforcement in Los Angeles.
885
01:07:41,944 --> 01:07:44,988
City Councilman Rogers
represents that future.
886
01:07:45,364 --> 01:07:47,073
So let's dig deep...
887
01:07:47,241 --> 01:07:51,077
and let's get a moral man re-elected.
Ellis Loew would like a few words.
888
01:07:54,498 --> 01:07:58,251
Thank you. Thank you, Brett Chase, the
very talented star of "Badge of Honor".
889
01:08:00,546 --> 01:08:04,716
Let me tell you, I am so thrilled to be
here on the set of "Badge of Honor".
890
01:08:04,883 --> 01:08:07,135
Big V. Jackie.
891
01:08:08,387 --> 01:08:10,096
Good to see you back.
892
01:08:10,306 --> 01:08:13,057
- How they hanging, Sid?
- Down around my ankles.
893
01:08:13,309 --> 01:08:16,311
- You tight with the DA, Jackie?
- Oh, yeah. Yeah.
894
01:08:16,478 --> 01:08:18,938
He tried to throw me off
the force last Christmas.
895
01:08:19,106 --> 01:08:20,815
How about some
payback, big-time-?
896
01:08:20,983 --> 01:08:25,194
Plus the usual $50 donation to the
Jack Vincennes retirement fund.
897
01:08:25,362 --> 01:08:29,324
- Did you know the DA was a swish?
- No kidding.
898
01:08:29,867 --> 01:08:31,492
Uh...
899
01:08:31,869 --> 01:08:35,038
Remember Matt Reynolds? Christmas Eve?
"The Movie Premiere Pot Bust"?
900
01:08:35,205 --> 01:08:37,874
- He just got off the honor farm.
- What's he doing here?
901
01:08:38,751 --> 01:08:41,336
Reynolds is acey-deucey,
not to mention broke.
902
01:08:41,503 --> 01:08:43,796
I'm getting him to fuck
the DA for 100 bucks.
903
01:08:43,964 --> 01:08:47,008
That's twice the 50 you got
for wrecking his career.
904
01:08:47,718 --> 01:08:51,262
- Hey, Matt. Come here, come here.
- Jesus, don't bring him...
905
01:08:56,185 --> 01:08:57,852
That's DA Loew right there.
906
01:09:00,230 --> 01:09:01,773
Yeah.
907
01:09:03,108 --> 01:09:04,400
You need a drink, kid?
908
01:09:05,277 --> 01:09:08,571
- Yeah.
- Jack, look after him a minute.
909
01:09:08,739 --> 01:09:12,700
Matt, this is Jack. No
secrets between me and him.
910
01:09:17,956 --> 01:09:20,375
- How you doing?
- Oh, I'm okay. How are you?
911
01:09:20,542 --> 01:09:22,794
I'm good. Yeah.
912
01:09:24,797 --> 01:09:26,631
Have we, uh, met before?
913
01:09:28,967 --> 01:09:30,218
Yeah.
914
01:09:31,220 --> 01:09:34,722
- Was it at a party?
- Well, it was something like that.
915
01:09:36,308 --> 01:09:37,934
Fleur-de-Lis party, right?
916
01:09:39,228 --> 01:09:40,395
Right.
917
01:09:41,063 --> 01:09:42,563
Fleur-de-Lis.
918
01:09:43,148 --> 01:09:45,149
"Whatever you desire."
919
01:09:45,401 --> 01:09:48,069
Dope, hookers that look
like movie stars...
920
01:09:48,487 --> 01:09:51,155
- Pierce Patchett has it all.
- Ha-ha-ha.
921
01:09:51,323 --> 01:09:53,199
Boy, you could say that again.
922
01:09:53,409 --> 01:09:58,996
Pierce, he's not like regular guys.
I mean, I dig him, but...
923
01:10:00,499 --> 01:10:04,085
you know, he, um, scares me too.
924
01:10:04,837 --> 01:10:07,422
Really? How?
925
01:10:08,507 --> 01:10:13,469
When I came out to L.A., this isn't
exactly where I saw myself ending up.
926
01:10:14,763 --> 01:10:17,432
Yeah, well, get in line.
927
01:10:17,933 --> 01:10:20,017
That's courage, kid. Drink up.
928
01:10:24,314 --> 01:10:26,983
You know, I don't think
I should do this.
929
01:10:27,526 --> 01:10:29,235
It's not like you
don't know how.
930
01:10:29,403 --> 01:10:32,238
And Jack here's got connections
with "Badge of Honor".
931
01:10:32,406 --> 01:10:34,490
You pull this off, there'll
be a part for you.
932
01:10:34,658 --> 01:10:37,660
I smell a comeback,
don't you, Jack?
933
01:10:40,289 --> 01:10:44,375
Go on. The DA's free. Go
introduce yourself. Go on.
934
01:10:44,793 --> 01:10:47,462
Talk to him, Jack. Tell him
about the opening on the show.
935
01:10:47,629 --> 01:10:50,882
Oh, yeah. I'm pretty sure I can
get you a part on this show.
936
01:10:51,133 --> 01:10:53,092
But, uh, that's later on.
937
01:10:53,260 --> 01:10:57,764
You know, tonight, just go on over
there and pretend it's an acting job.
938
01:10:57,931 --> 01:11:00,892
- Like show biz.
- Acting, that's it.
939
01:11:01,059 --> 01:11:02,143
- Right.
- Yeah.
940
01:11:02,311 --> 01:11:05,021
- No one's gonna know about this, right?
- No.
941
01:11:07,232 --> 01:11:08,900
It'll be our secret.
942
01:11:11,111 --> 01:11:13,488
Okay. All right.
943
01:11:13,655 --> 01:11:16,115
- Show biz.
- That's it. Go on.
944
01:11:19,578 --> 01:11:22,872
Show biz. Man.
945
01:11:23,248 --> 01:11:25,708
If Reynolds works his charms,
which I know he will...
946
01:11:25,876 --> 01:11:28,669
they'll be at the Hollywood
Center Motel, Room 203.
947
01:11:28,837 --> 01:11:30,963
Meet me there at midnight
for a photo shoot.
948
01:11:32,090 --> 01:11:35,259
Maybe we can work in the
Hollywood sign this time.
949
01:11:36,762 --> 01:11:39,263
What do you know about
Pierce Patchett?
950
01:11:39,932 --> 01:11:42,600
Patchett? I know what you know.
He's very rich.
951
01:11:42,768 --> 01:11:46,020
Just invested in freeway construction,
which is gonna make him richer.
952
01:11:46,355 --> 01:11:47,438
Why do you ask?
953
01:11:47,606 --> 01:11:49,732
I just keep hearing
rumors, you know.
954
01:11:49,900 --> 01:11:53,152
High-class porn, drugs, hookers
that look like movie stars.
955
01:11:53,612 --> 01:11:58,115
Ha. Patchett's what I call twilight.
He ain't queer and he ain't red.
956
01:11:58,283 --> 01:12:01,994
He cannot help me in my quest
for prime "sinnuendo."
957
01:12:07,417 --> 01:12:11,587
As though "Badge of Honor" would touch
that guy with a 10-foot pole...
958
01:12:11,755 --> 01:12:14,882
after he's been Hush-Hush
cover boy twice in one year.
959
01:12:15,050 --> 01:12:16,342
See you in a few hours, Sid.
960
01:12:16,510 --> 01:12:20,596
Yeah, midnight. I guarantee all
kinds of illegal activity.
961
01:12:53,797 --> 01:12:55,798
- Another, Jack?
- Yeah.
962
01:13:40,344 --> 01:13:41,928
Kid?
963
01:13:47,643 --> 01:13:48,809
Matt?
964
01:13:49,353 --> 01:13:52,563
Come on, kid, you don't
have to do the...
965
01:14:23,845 --> 01:14:25,763
Thank you for what
you did for me...
966
01:14:26,264 --> 01:14:28,891
for killing those
animals who raped me.
967
01:14:29,226 --> 01:14:31,936
Will you thank Officer
White for me, please?
968
01:14:32,229 --> 01:14:33,270
Sure.
969
01:14:34,982 --> 01:14:38,734
Seeing him come through the door is
about the only thing I remember.
970
01:14:38,944 --> 01:14:40,111
Thank God.
971
01:14:41,363 --> 01:14:43,906
You remember what time the
Negroes left you, right?
972
01:14:44,241 --> 01:14:47,410
In your statement, you said
they left you at midnight.
973
01:14:47,619 --> 01:14:48,744
They might have.
974
01:14:54,292 --> 01:14:57,712
- What do you mean, they might have?
- I don't know what time they left me.
975
01:14:57,879 --> 01:14:59,588
I wanted them dead.
976
01:14:59,923 --> 01:15:03,426
Would anyone care that they
raped a Mexican girl...
977
01:15:03,593 --> 01:15:06,637
if they hadn't killed those
white people at the Nite Owl?
978
01:15:07,597 --> 01:15:09,890
I did what I had
to do for justice.
979
01:15:10,058 --> 01:15:13,436
Inez? Exley, over here.
Smile, Inez.
980
01:15:14,354 --> 01:15:16,772
So is he your hero, Miss Soto?
981
01:15:17,482 --> 01:15:21,944
Fellas, how about this? "Rape Victim
Wheeled out of Hospital by Nite Owl Hero."
982
01:15:24,281 --> 01:15:25,781
Hey.
983
01:15:27,617 --> 01:15:29,827
All they get is Veronica Lake.
984
01:15:31,997 --> 01:15:34,331
I get Lynn Margaret Bracken.
985
01:15:45,469 --> 01:15:46,552
Bisbee?
986
01:15:47,512 --> 01:15:48,637
Mm-hm.
987
01:15:48,805 --> 01:15:50,347
I grew up there.
988
01:15:52,476 --> 01:15:56,979
I'm going back in a couple of
years, open up a dress shop.
989
01:15:58,982 --> 01:16:01,859
The girls in Bisbee
need a little glamour.
990
01:16:07,699 --> 01:16:10,076
Where'd this come from?
991
01:16:11,036 --> 01:16:15,081
When I was 12, my old man went after my
mother with a bottle. I got in the way.
992
01:16:17,042 --> 01:16:18,667
So you saved her.
993
01:16:20,045 --> 01:16:21,462
Not for long.
994
01:16:24,508 --> 01:16:27,802
- I'm sorry. It's none of my business.
- He tied me to the radiator.
995
01:16:28,553 --> 01:16:31,722
I watched him beat my mother
to death with a tire iron...
996
01:16:34,184 --> 01:16:36,352
and he left me there.
997
01:16:38,438 --> 01:16:41,232
Three days before a
truant officer found us.
998
01:16:44,361 --> 01:16:46,237
They never found the old man.
999
01:16:55,580 --> 01:16:57,581
Is that why you became a cop?
1000
01:16:58,375 --> 01:16:59,750
To get even?
1001
01:17:01,211 --> 01:17:02,545
Maybe.
1002
01:17:04,422 --> 01:17:06,423
Do you like it?
1003
01:17:09,386 --> 01:17:11,178
I used to.
1004
01:17:12,722 --> 01:17:15,432
Now it's all strong-arm,
sitting-duck stuff.
1005
01:17:16,434 --> 01:17:17,768
I mean, if I could...
1006
01:17:19,062 --> 01:17:21,564
If I could get a chance
to work Homicide...
1007
01:17:21,940 --> 01:17:24,775
like a real detective...
1008
01:17:25,235 --> 01:17:27,778
That prick Exley, he
shot the wrong guys.
1009
01:17:28,613 --> 01:17:33,367
Whoever killed Stensland's still around.
I know it in here. I know it.
1010
01:17:33,827 --> 01:17:35,744
There's something wrong
with the Nite Owl.
1011
01:17:36,079 --> 01:17:38,247
I just can't prove
it, that's all.
1012
01:17:39,457 --> 01:17:41,417
I'm not smart enough.
1013
01:17:43,420 --> 01:17:46,589
I'm just the guy they bring in
to scare the other guy shitless.
1014
01:17:49,968 --> 01:17:51,427
You're wrong.
1015
01:17:52,262 --> 01:17:54,805
You found Patchett.
You found me.
1016
01:17:55,182 --> 01:17:56,974
You're smart enough.
1017
01:18:08,653 --> 01:18:12,239
Bud White. What brings you
down to the basement?
1018
01:18:15,493 --> 01:18:17,536
I got a couple of
Nite Owl questions.
1019
01:18:17,704 --> 01:18:20,789
Don't know if you read the
papers, but that case is closed.
1020
01:18:22,792 --> 01:18:24,627
Anything bother you
about it, Ray?
1021
01:18:25,337 --> 01:18:29,006
The fact that the pack-up boys haven't
hauled this shit out of here yet.
1022
01:18:33,803 --> 01:18:36,013
We got three shotguns taken
from the suspects...
1023
01:18:36,181 --> 01:18:38,807
which match the strike marks
on the shell casings.
1024
01:18:38,975 --> 01:18:40,643
What more do you want?
1025
01:18:52,364 --> 01:18:54,198
There's blood on the wall here.
1026
01:18:54,866 --> 01:18:57,326
I thought everyone got
shot in the men's room.
1027
01:18:57,535 --> 01:18:59,995
That is Stensland's blood.
1028
01:19:00,538 --> 01:19:02,039
Stensland?
1029
01:19:02,207 --> 01:19:05,960
Blow to the head. Probably unconscious
when they dragged him in the john.
1030
01:19:07,671 --> 01:19:08,921
Did they hit anyone else?
1031
01:19:09,089 --> 01:19:12,508
No, but he was a cop. He
probably tried to do something.
1032
01:19:16,388 --> 01:19:19,974
Grilled cheese, black coffee.
Someone sitting next to him.
1033
01:19:24,020 --> 01:19:25,688
Two of the victims were women?
1034
01:19:25,855 --> 01:19:29,984
Yeah, Patti DeLuca, the night shift
waitress, and a Susan Lefferts.
1035
01:19:34,572 --> 01:19:36,365
Susan Lefferts.
1036
01:19:38,201 --> 01:19:40,202
Yeah, what about her?
1037
01:19:42,664 --> 01:19:44,039
You're welcome.
1038
01:19:46,334 --> 01:19:48,419
Mrs. Lefferts.
1039
01:19:50,046 --> 01:19:54,008
Mrs. Lefferts? I'm
Officer White, L.A.P.D.
1040
01:19:56,261 --> 01:19:59,722
Tell me about the boyfriend. The one
you mentioned at the coroner's office.
1041
01:19:59,931 --> 01:20:02,308
I told you I didn't approve
of that boyfriend.
1042
01:20:02,892 --> 01:20:07,271
He was too old for you. And
you let him be fresh with me.
1043
01:20:09,065 --> 01:20:11,525
They came here one day
when I wasn't home.
1044
01:20:11,901 --> 01:20:13,819
Mrs. Jensen next door said...
1045
01:20:13,987 --> 01:20:17,031
she thought she saw Susie's
boyfriend and another man...
1046
01:20:17,198 --> 01:20:19,575
and she heard a ruckus.
1047
01:20:20,452 --> 01:20:24,288
- What was the boyfriend's name?
- We weren't properly introduced.
1048
01:20:24,914 --> 01:20:27,249
Susie gave him a nickname,
"Muns" or "Luns."
1049
01:20:27,417 --> 01:20:30,002
Stens? Was it Stens?
1050
01:20:30,170 --> 01:20:34,757
- Maybe. I don't know.
- Look at a picture for me.
1051
01:20:37,469 --> 01:20:40,095
That's him. That's him.
1052
01:20:45,477 --> 01:20:47,644
You said a neighbor
heard a ruckus.
1053
01:20:48,438 --> 01:20:50,481
Was it outside? inside?
1054
01:20:51,775 --> 01:20:52,941
Outside.
1055
01:20:53,109 --> 01:20:57,196
And then Mrs. Jensen said they
kept going under the house.
1056
01:21:01,284 --> 01:21:03,619
You have to leave now, officer.
1057
01:21:04,829 --> 01:21:08,290
- What's through here?
- Just a room full of old things.
1058
01:21:08,500 --> 01:21:10,459
Don't move that.
1059
01:21:11,836 --> 01:21:12,878
Phew.
1060
01:21:13,046 --> 01:21:16,507
Don't mind the smell. I think
a rat died behind the wall.
1061
01:21:17,801 --> 01:21:19,968
My Susie was a good girl.
1062
01:21:20,136 --> 01:21:23,138
She was never in any
kind of trouble at all.
1063
01:21:26,267 --> 01:21:27,309
Phew.
1064
01:22:34,377 --> 01:22:36,837
"Leland Meeks."
Never heard of you.
1065
01:22:37,046 --> 01:22:38,589
They call me Buzz.
1066
01:22:45,805 --> 01:22:46,889
Was it a rat?
1067
01:22:47,765 --> 01:22:49,600
Yeah, a great big one.
1068
01:22:52,061 --> 01:22:55,856
Here. Compliments of the Los
Angeles Police Department.
1069
01:23:13,082 --> 01:23:16,043
Stomach of the week
from a motel homicide.
1070
01:23:16,252 --> 01:23:19,671
Unemployed actor had frankfurter,
french fries, alcohol and sperm.
1071
01:23:19,839 --> 01:23:22,299
Hell of a last supper, don't
you think, lieutenant?
1072
01:23:22,467 --> 01:23:25,093
Anything bothering you about
the, uh, Nite Owl case?
1073
01:23:25,261 --> 01:23:27,930
Yeah, the fact that you guys
won't let it get filed away.
1074
01:23:29,098 --> 01:23:32,768
- What do you mean?
- Bud White grilled me on it this morning.
1075
01:23:33,811 --> 01:23:37,773
- Bud White?
- You know, he's not as dumb as I thought.
1076
01:23:39,984 --> 01:23:42,778
Did he say where he was going
after he talked to you?
1077
01:23:55,166 --> 01:23:57,000
Let my daughter rest in peace.
1078
01:23:57,210 --> 01:23:59,419
Mrs. Lefferts, I just wanna
ask a few questions.
1079
01:23:59,587 --> 01:24:01,964
Officer White already
checked under the house.
1080
01:24:02,549 --> 01:24:03,632
Under the house?
1081
01:24:04,384 --> 01:24:06,718
- Where?
- Out back.
1082
01:24:08,137 --> 01:24:09,805
All he found was rodents.
1083
01:24:13,142 --> 01:24:17,062
I need an ID on this as soon as possible.
You talk only to me on this one.
1084
01:24:20,149 --> 01:24:22,109
Vincennes, I need your
help with something.
1085
01:24:22,277 --> 01:24:26,321
I'm busy right now. Why don't you just
go ask some of your boys in Homicide?
1086
01:24:28,575 --> 01:24:31,243
I can't. I need someone
outside of Homicide.
1087
01:24:31,869 --> 01:24:34,788
I want you to tail Bud White till
he goes on duty this evening.
1088
01:24:36,249 --> 01:24:38,500
Do me a real favor
and leave me alone.
1089
01:24:39,627 --> 01:24:41,962
Do you make the Negroes for
the Nite Owl killings?
1090
01:24:45,258 --> 01:24:47,843
- What?
- It's a simple question.
1091
01:24:49,929 --> 01:24:52,848
Why in the world do you wanna
go digging any deeper...
1092
01:24:53,016 --> 01:24:56,476
into the Nite Owl
killings, lieutenant?
1093
01:25:00,315 --> 01:25:02,024
Rollo Tomasi.
1094
01:25:03,776 --> 01:25:06,862
Is there more to that, or
am I supposed to guess?
1095
01:25:08,948 --> 01:25:11,116
Rollo was a purse snatcher.
1096
01:25:15,538 --> 01:25:17,623
My father ran into
him off-duty...
1097
01:25:19,626 --> 01:25:22,711
and he shot my father six
times and got away clean.
1098
01:25:24,213 --> 01:25:25,964
No one even knew who he was.
1099
01:25:26,799 --> 01:25:28,884
I made the name up to
give him personality.
1100
01:25:30,720 --> 01:25:31,845
What's your point?
1101
01:25:32,472 --> 01:25:35,223
Rollo Tomasi's the
reason I became a cop.
1102
01:25:35,975 --> 01:25:39,519
I wanted to catch the guys who
thought they could get away with it.
1103
01:25:40,938 --> 01:25:42,731
It was supposed to
be about justice.
1104
01:25:43,733 --> 01:25:46,735
Then somewhere along the
way, I lost sight of that.
1105
01:25:50,907 --> 01:25:52,157
Why'd you become a cop?
1106
01:25:57,914 --> 01:25:59,414
Huh.
1107
01:26:02,919 --> 01:26:04,961
I don't remember.
1108
01:26:11,177 --> 01:26:14,888
- What do you want, Exley?
- I just wanna solve this thing.
1109
01:26:15,431 --> 01:26:18,767
- Nite Owl was solved.
- No.
1110
01:26:20,019 --> 01:26:21,353
I wanna do it right.
1111
01:26:22,021 --> 01:26:24,439
Even if it means paying
the consequences?
1112
01:26:24,982 --> 01:26:26,024
Mm-hm.
1113
01:26:27,860 --> 01:26:29,945
All right, college
boy, I'll help...
1114
01:26:30,113 --> 01:26:32,948
but there's a case your boys
in Homicide don't care about.
1115
01:26:33,116 --> 01:26:37,911
They think it's just another
Hollywood "homo-cide," but I don't.
1116
01:26:38,079 --> 01:26:41,206
You help me with mine,
I'll help you with yours.
1117
01:26:41,624 --> 01:26:44,459
- Deal?
- Deal.
1118
01:27:16,951 --> 01:27:19,035
Johnny Stompanato.
1119
01:27:20,204 --> 01:27:23,081
Officer Wendell White.
How's tricks, paisano?
1120
01:27:23,291 --> 01:27:24,958
I ain't your paisano.
1121
01:27:25,710 --> 01:27:27,836
I ain't in the snitch
business anymore.
1122
01:27:28,004 --> 01:27:30,297
You know a guy named Buzz Meeks?
1123
01:27:31,382 --> 01:27:33,216
Works for Pierce Patchett.
1124
01:27:33,801 --> 01:27:34,968
Should I?
1125
01:27:36,387 --> 01:27:39,264
You're muscle for hire.
Meeks is muscle for hire.
1126
01:27:39,474 --> 01:27:40,807
You tell me.
1127
01:27:41,851 --> 01:27:44,227
Oh, yeah. Yeah, I remember now.
1128
01:27:44,395 --> 01:27:48,523
Meeks is a run-down ex-cop. Same
as you're gonna be someday.
1129
01:27:48,733 --> 01:27:50,192
And that's all you're gonna get.
1130
01:27:51,068 --> 01:27:52,903
And you can keep your 20 bucks.
1131
01:27:58,409 --> 01:28:01,828
What do I get if I give you your
balls back, you wop cocksucker?
1132
01:28:02,789 --> 01:28:05,999
Okay. Okay.
1133
01:28:06,167 --> 01:28:08,543
There was a rumor
going around...
1134
01:28:08,753 --> 01:28:11,880
that Meeks had a line
on a large supply of H.
1135
01:28:13,925 --> 01:28:18,887
- And?
- And nothing. He skipped out.
1136
01:28:31,275 --> 01:28:32,442
Bullshit.
1137
01:28:33,402 --> 01:28:36,571
How would Meeks get his hands
on a large supply of heroin?
1138
01:28:37,406 --> 01:28:40,742
You're right. It's
probably bullshit.
1139
01:28:40,952 --> 01:28:43,453
Even if he did, he
could never unload it.
1140
01:28:43,746 --> 01:28:46,248
Not without drawing all
kinds of attention.
1141
01:28:46,791 --> 01:28:50,794
Maybe that's why he's under a house in
Elysian Park and he don't smell too good...
1142
01:28:52,296 --> 01:28:53,630
paisano.
1143
01:29:46,058 --> 01:29:48,602
Maybe White's not
so dumb after all.
1144
01:30:01,824 --> 01:30:05,827
We got Rita Hayworth at the morgue,
and now Veronica Lake with White.
1145
01:30:06,370 --> 01:30:10,707
I think your case and my case are
connected. It's Fleur-de-Lis again.
1146
01:30:10,875 --> 01:30:12,042
Fleur-de-Lis?
1147
01:30:12,376 --> 01:30:14,669
Yeah. "Whatever you desire."
1148
01:30:14,879 --> 01:30:16,004
Porno.
1149
01:30:16,339 --> 01:30:19,174
High-class whores cut to
look like movie stars.
1150
01:30:19,383 --> 01:30:23,011
Who knows what else. Reynolds, the
kid that got killed, was involved.
1151
01:30:23,220 --> 01:30:24,846
So is Pierce Patchett.
1152
01:30:25,056 --> 01:30:26,348
The millionaire?
1153
01:30:26,849 --> 01:30:28,850
Yeah, I think we
should go talk to him.
1154
01:30:29,685 --> 01:30:31,686
First I wanna brace Stompanato.
1155
01:30:47,954 --> 01:30:50,413
Want an autograph? Write to MGM.
1156
01:30:51,248 --> 01:30:54,542
Since when do two-bit hoods and
hookers give out autographs?
1157
01:30:54,919 --> 01:30:57,504
- What did you say to me?
- L.A.P.D. Sit down.
1158
01:30:57,713 --> 01:30:59,339
Who the hell do you
think you are?
1159
01:30:59,507 --> 01:31:02,217
Take a walk, honey, before
I haul your ass downtown.
1160
01:31:02,385 --> 01:31:05,178
- You are making a large mistake.
- Get away from our table.
1161
01:31:05,388 --> 01:31:06,721
Shut up.
1162
01:31:07,807 --> 01:31:10,141
A hooker cut to look like
Turner is still a hooker.
1163
01:31:10,309 --> 01:31:12,686
- Hey!
- She just looks like Lana Turner.
1164
01:31:12,853 --> 01:31:15,397
- She is Lana Turner.
- What?
1165
01:31:15,564 --> 01:31:17,649
She is Lana Turner.
1166
01:31:26,283 --> 01:31:28,118
How was I supposed to know?
1167
01:31:44,468 --> 01:31:48,263
I believe the Nite Owl's your
area of expertise, Mr. Exley.
1168
01:31:48,431 --> 01:31:50,974
I saw you on television
getting your medal.
1169
01:31:52,476 --> 01:31:53,768
And you're...
1170
01:31:54,145 --> 01:31:57,981
that other Hollywood celebrity
policeman, aren't you?
1171
01:31:58,941 --> 01:32:02,944
The Veronica Lake look-alike works for you.
She's one of your whores, correct?
1172
01:32:04,280 --> 01:32:07,449
- A vulgar term.
- Why's she seeing Bud White?
1173
01:32:07,616 --> 01:32:11,453
Why do men and women usually
see each other, Mr. Exley?
1174
01:32:14,331 --> 01:32:17,042
Let's try this on for
size: Fleur-de-Lis.
1175
01:32:17,501 --> 01:32:19,294
"Whatever you desire."
1176
01:32:19,962 --> 01:32:22,922
An actor named Matt Reynolds.
1177
01:32:24,800 --> 01:32:26,926
No? Nothing?
1178
01:32:27,511 --> 01:32:30,638
- No?
- We want some answers, Patchett.
1179
01:32:33,309 --> 01:32:35,185
We all want something.
1180
01:32:36,812 --> 01:32:39,481
- Lieutenant Exley, come in.
- Guy's as cool as they come.
1181
01:32:42,026 --> 01:32:44,861
Lieutenant Exley, come in, please.
Over.
1182
01:32:46,030 --> 01:32:47,072
This is Exley.
1183
01:32:47,239 --> 01:32:49,991
The coroner wants to talk to you.
He says he has your ID.
1184
01:32:50,534 --> 01:32:53,119
Tell him Sergeant Vincennes
is coming in to talk to him.
1185
01:32:53,287 --> 01:32:55,163
- Roger.
- I'll drop you at your car.
1186
01:32:55,331 --> 01:32:57,540
- Where the hell are you going?
- Lynn Bracken's.
1187
01:32:57,833 --> 01:33:01,336
I'm gonna find out why Patchett
has her seeing Bud White.
1188
01:33:01,504 --> 01:33:03,171
See you at the Frolic Room.
1189
01:33:03,339 --> 01:33:06,591
Oh, great. You get the
girl, I get the coroner.
1190
01:33:16,560 --> 01:33:19,604
Hush-Hush, off the
record and on the q.t.
1191
01:33:22,441 --> 01:33:25,944
Hey, I was just coming up to see you.
You get that ID?
1192
01:33:26,112 --> 01:33:30,532
Thank God for dental records. Stiff
used to be a cop. Leland Meeks.
1193
01:33:30,699 --> 01:33:31,866
Buzz Meeks?
1194
01:33:32,034 --> 01:33:33,201
- You knew him?
- Of him.
1195
01:33:33,410 --> 01:33:36,996
He was around when I joined the force.
Bad rep. Thanks.
1196
01:33:37,164 --> 01:33:41,042
Hey. "Just the facts," Jack.
"Just the facts."
1197
01:33:44,380 --> 01:33:45,505
Anything else, sergeant?
1198
01:33:45,714 --> 01:33:48,883
Leland Meeks worked Vice '39 -'41.
I need to see his arrest records.
1199
01:33:49,051 --> 01:33:51,219
Okay.
1200
01:33:56,767 --> 01:33:59,394
Miss Bracken, I'm
Lieutenant Exley.
1201
01:33:59,603 --> 01:34:03,356
I know who you are. Bud
told me all about you.
1202
01:34:03,524 --> 01:34:05,400
Is that so?
1203
01:34:05,693 --> 01:34:08,403
And what did White have to say?
1204
01:34:09,280 --> 01:34:11,239
He said you were smart.
1205
01:34:11,907 --> 01:34:15,743
He also said you were a coward, and
that you'd screw yourself to get ahead.
1206
01:34:16,412 --> 01:34:18,913
Well, let's concentrate
on my smarts.
1207
01:34:19,081 --> 01:34:23,918
Pierce Patchett made you, didn't he?
Taught you how to dress, talk and think.
1208
01:34:25,087 --> 01:34:26,921
I am very impressed
with the results...
1209
01:34:28,257 --> 01:34:29,716
but I need answers.
1210
01:34:29,884 --> 01:34:32,927
And if I don't get them, I'm gonna
take you and Patchett down.
1211
01:34:33,596 --> 01:34:36,264
Pierce Patchett can
take care of himself.
1212
01:34:37,308 --> 01:34:39,267
And I'm not afraid of you.
1213
01:34:40,144 --> 01:34:42,812
And you forget one
thing, lieutenant...
1214
01:34:43,147 --> 01:34:45,773
Pierce also taught
me how to fuck.
1215
01:34:49,486 --> 01:34:53,781
And he tells you who to fuck. Why
does he have you fucking Bud White?
1216
01:34:53,991 --> 01:34:56,659
What makes you think I'm not
seeing Bud because I want to?
1217
01:34:58,829 --> 01:35:02,165
It would be easier for you if
there was an angle, wouldn't it?
1218
01:35:02,958 --> 01:35:06,044
You're afraid of Bud because you
can't figure out how to play him.
1219
01:35:07,129 --> 01:35:10,340
He doesn't follow the same
rules of politics as you do.
1220
01:35:11,133 --> 01:35:12,926
It makes him dangerous.
1221
01:35:13,135 --> 01:35:15,803
- I can handle Bud White.
- Can you?
1222
01:35:19,808 --> 01:35:22,018
I see Bud because I want to.
1223
01:35:25,522 --> 01:35:28,858
I see Bud because he can't
hide the good inside of him.
1224
01:35:30,694 --> 01:35:33,446
I see Bud because he makes
me feel like Lynn Bracken...
1225
01:35:33,656 --> 01:35:37,033
and not some Veronica Lake
look-alike who fucks for money.
1226
01:35:39,203 --> 01:35:43,498
I see Bud because he doesn't
know how to disguise who he is.
1227
01:35:45,542 --> 01:35:49,170
I see Bud for all the ways
he's different from you.
1228
01:35:51,548 --> 01:35:53,841
Don't underestimate
me, Miss Bracken.
1229
01:35:54,176 --> 01:35:57,178
The way you've
underestimated Bud White?
1230
01:36:03,686 --> 01:36:06,354
Fucking me and fucking Bud
aren't the same thing, you know.
1231
01:36:06,855 --> 01:36:08,856
Stop talking about Bud White.
1232
01:36:33,757 --> 01:36:35,717
Come on.
1233
01:36:38,429 --> 01:36:39,721
Shit.
1234
01:36:53,110 --> 01:36:54,777
Jack Vincennes.
1235
01:36:55,779 --> 01:36:57,530
It's going on midnight, Jack.
1236
01:36:57,698 --> 01:36:59,615
I need two minutes, Dudley.
1237
01:36:59,950 --> 01:37:01,159
It's important.
1238
01:37:01,785 --> 01:37:06,080
Good thing for you my wife and daughters
are at the beach in Santa Barbara.
1239
01:37:09,209 --> 01:37:14,380
- Do you remember Buzz Meeks, Dudley?
- A disgrace as a police officer.
1240
01:37:14,590 --> 01:37:18,760
Straight D fitness reports from every CO
he ever served under. What about him?
1241
01:37:19,470 --> 01:37:22,388
Twelve years ago, he was on a
Vice roust with Dick Stensland.
1242
01:37:22,598 --> 01:37:25,892
They questioned Pierce Patchett
about a blackmail scam.
1243
01:37:26,101 --> 01:37:30,271
Patchett had Sid Hudgens photographing
prominent businessmen with hookers.
1244
01:37:30,981 --> 01:37:33,941
Anyway, charges were dropped.
Insufficient evidence.
1245
01:37:34,151 --> 01:37:36,277
You were the supervising
officer on that case.
1246
01:37:36,445 --> 01:37:38,696
I was wondering if you
remember anything about it.
1247
01:37:39,948 --> 01:37:41,449
What's this all about, boyo?
1248
01:37:42,409 --> 01:37:45,953
Part of it has to do with a murder.
I've been working with Ed Exley on it.
1249
01:37:46,330 --> 01:37:48,956
You're Narco, Jack,
not Homicide.
1250
01:37:49,166 --> 01:37:51,376
Since when do you work
with Edmund Exley?
1251
01:37:52,503 --> 01:37:54,962
It's a private investigation.
1252
01:37:55,464 --> 01:37:56,714
Ah.
1253
01:37:56,965 --> 01:37:59,467
I messed something up. I'm
trying to make amends.
1254
01:37:59,635 --> 01:38:02,011
Don't start trying to do
the right thing, boyo.
1255
01:38:02,513 --> 01:38:04,806
You haven't had the practice.
1256
01:38:11,021 --> 01:38:15,608
Buzz Meeks and Dick Stensland.
Hmm.
1257
01:38:17,152 --> 01:38:20,405
So, what does Exley
make of this?
1258
01:38:20,572 --> 01:38:23,658
I haven't told him yet. I just
came from the records room.
1259
01:38:49,351 --> 01:38:51,644
Have you a valediction, boyo?
1260
01:38:57,901 --> 01:38:59,527
Rollo...
1261
01:39:00,571 --> 01:39:02,238
Tomasi.
1262
01:39:23,093 --> 01:39:26,679
Sergeant Vincennes was killed
by a .32 slug to the heart.
1263
01:39:26,889 --> 01:39:29,265
Time of death,
approximately 1 a.m.
1264
01:39:29,850 --> 01:39:34,437
Although he was found in Echo Park,
forensics indicates the body was moved.
1265
01:39:36,064 --> 01:39:39,525
I want two-man teams to scour
that entire neighborhood.
1266
01:39:40,402 --> 01:39:44,614
Our justice must be
swift and merciless.
1267
01:39:46,783 --> 01:39:47,825
That is all.
1268
01:39:56,376 --> 01:39:59,253
Edmund, might I have
a word with you?
1269
01:40:02,758 --> 01:40:05,760
We're trying to run down a lead
on an associate of Vincennes.
1270
01:40:05,969 --> 01:40:08,804
The records check has
led to a dead end.
1271
01:40:09,097 --> 01:40:10,306
What's the name?
1272
01:40:10,599 --> 01:40:12,350
Rollo Tomasi.
1273
01:40:14,102 --> 01:40:16,103
You ever heard
Vincennes mention him?
1274
01:40:18,941 --> 01:40:20,650
No. No, I haven't.
1275
01:40:24,154 --> 01:40:25,154
Well...
1276
01:40:25,322 --> 01:40:27,323
It's probably nothing. Still...
1277
01:40:28,450 --> 01:40:31,160
keep your eyes open, eh, boyo?
1278
01:40:40,837 --> 01:40:43,464
I know it's unlikely, but
suppose, just for a moment...
1279
01:40:43,674 --> 01:40:47,093
somebody did have that much heroin,
who would they go to to move it?
1280
01:40:47,636 --> 01:40:52,515
- White, in my office.
- Captain. Look, just give me a name.
1281
01:40:53,308 --> 01:40:54,684
Mickey Cohen.
1282
01:41:00,649 --> 01:41:01,649
Captain?
1283
01:41:01,817 --> 01:41:04,485
I could use your fearsome
habits at the Victory Motel.
1284
01:41:05,821 --> 01:41:07,071
Uh, when?
1285
01:41:08,323 --> 01:41:09,407
Now, Wendell.
1286
01:41:10,492 --> 01:41:11,701
Right.
1287
01:41:11,868 --> 01:41:13,369
Close the door, lad.
1288
01:41:20,877 --> 01:41:23,713
You're a bit of a puzzlement
to me these days, Wendell.
1289
01:41:24,089 --> 01:41:26,340
You don't seem to be your
old cruel self anymore.
1290
01:41:27,009 --> 01:41:29,969
And I had such grand
plans for your future.
1291
01:41:30,178 --> 01:41:31,387
What plans?
1292
01:41:32,848 --> 01:41:36,851
You have your extracurricular
activities and I have mine.
1293
01:41:39,896 --> 01:41:42,982
We must have a clarification
session one of these days.
1294
01:41:44,067 --> 01:41:47,194
However, right now...
1295
01:41:47,696 --> 01:41:50,906
we're gonna brace a man who may
know who killed Jack Vincennes.
1296
01:41:51,241 --> 01:41:53,034
So the question is...
1297
01:41:53,368 --> 01:41:54,869
can I count on you, lad?
1298
01:41:55,037 --> 01:41:56,954
- Yes or no?
- Yes, sir.
1299
01:42:02,044 --> 01:42:05,755
I wanna know everything you and Jack
Vincennes talked about last night.
1300
01:42:06,048 --> 01:42:08,049
Start with the ID on the corpse.
1301
01:42:08,258 --> 01:42:11,552
An ex-cop. Leland "Buzz" Meeks.
1302
01:42:11,762 --> 01:42:13,095
An ex-cop?
1303
01:42:13,555 --> 01:42:15,181
What did Jack say?
Did he know him?
1304
01:42:15,724 --> 01:42:17,808
Only by reputation.
1305
01:42:23,982 --> 01:42:26,192
Wendell, this is Sid Hudgens.
1306
01:42:26,401 --> 01:42:29,028
I'm willing to cooperate.
There's no need to tie me down.
1307
01:42:29,237 --> 01:42:30,946
It's for your own safety.
1308
01:42:31,948 --> 01:42:35,451
Now, what can you tell us about
Sergeant Jack Vincennes?
1309
01:42:35,619 --> 01:42:37,620
Hollywood Jack? The Big V?
1310
01:42:37,913 --> 01:42:40,873
I can tell you he's on the
night train to the big adiós.
1311
01:42:45,045 --> 01:42:48,631
I didn't have anything to do with him
getting killed, if that's what you mean.
1312
01:42:48,924 --> 01:42:52,843
- But you were business associates.
- What's that got to do with anything?
1313
01:42:54,096 --> 01:42:56,931
Okay, okay, so we
worked together.
1314
01:42:57,391 --> 01:42:59,433
It was an information exchange.
1315
01:42:59,643 --> 01:43:02,144
I got him first-class collars,
he got me good stories.
1316
01:43:02,312 --> 01:43:04,105
We were friends, for chrissake.
1317
01:43:04,272 --> 01:43:05,773
We'll drop that for the moment.
1318
01:43:06,274 --> 01:43:08,109
Care to comment on
Pierce Patchett?
1319
01:43:08,276 --> 01:43:11,696
Patchett? You think he had something
to do with Vincennes getting iced?
1320
01:43:11,863 --> 01:43:16,909
Wendell, I'd like full and docile
cooperation on every topic.
1321
01:43:17,077 --> 01:43:19,578
Okay, okay, okay. All right.
1322
01:43:21,123 --> 01:43:24,041
Everybody knows that Patchett's
worth a boatload of greenbacks.
1323
01:43:24,459 --> 01:43:26,335
But the man has hobbies too.
1324
01:43:26,545 --> 01:43:29,130
He bankrolls B-movies
under the table.
1325
01:43:29,548 --> 01:43:31,173
And try this one on:
1326
01:43:31,383 --> 01:43:33,634
He's rumored to be a
periodic heroin sniffer.
1327
01:43:33,802 --> 01:43:36,887
All in all, a powerful
behind-the-scenes strange-o.
1328
01:43:37,055 --> 01:43:39,056
- And?
- And what?
1329
01:43:43,145 --> 01:43:46,939
Reciprocity, Mr. Hudgens, is
the key to every relationship.
1330
01:43:50,068 --> 01:43:51,652
He runs call girls.
1331
01:43:53,572 --> 01:43:56,657
Primo tail fixed up to
look like movie stars.
1332
01:43:59,411 --> 01:44:02,163
- And?
- Blackmail shit.
1333
01:44:02,330 --> 01:44:06,041
In my car, in the
trunk, under the rug...
1334
01:44:06,334 --> 01:44:10,629
Patchett got me to photograph this cop
screwing this gorgeous slut named Lynn.
1335
01:44:10,797 --> 01:44:12,923
Looks just like Veronica Lake.
1336
01:44:13,091 --> 01:44:17,178
Wendell. Wendell. Leave him be.
I said, leave him be.
1337
01:44:17,345 --> 01:44:20,931
- Get him off me. Get him away from me.
- Back off, Wendell. Back off.
1338
01:45:05,143 --> 01:45:10,064
I wouldn't trade places with Edmund Exley
right now for all the whiskey in Ireland.
1339
01:45:10,982 --> 01:45:12,024
Dudley.
1340
01:45:14,152 --> 01:45:17,613
Dudley, I thought you were gonna
let the dumb bastard kill me.
1341
01:45:17,781 --> 01:45:20,950
And you, learn to pull your
punches a little better.
1342
01:45:21,159 --> 01:45:23,244
You can uncuff me now, fellas.
1343
01:45:28,875 --> 01:45:30,543
Fellas...
1344
01:45:30,710 --> 01:45:33,045
Dudley, we had a deal.
1345
01:45:33,213 --> 01:45:34,880
You, me and Patchett,
we're a team.
1346
01:45:39,928 --> 01:45:41,262
Hush-hush.
1347
01:45:42,430 --> 01:45:44,431
- Anything?
- Nothing.
1348
01:45:44,599 --> 01:45:47,434
Meeks never made an arrest the
entire time he worked Vice?
1349
01:45:47,602 --> 01:45:49,603
Someone must've
pulled the files.
1350
01:45:52,190 --> 01:45:54,108
What about the daily
report books?
1351
01:45:54,276 --> 01:45:56,110
They'd be buried
in the basement.
1352
01:45:56,278 --> 01:45:57,528
Find them.
1353
01:46:28,518 --> 01:46:30,102
Did you talk to Exley?
1354
01:46:30,604 --> 01:46:32,354
Come in out of the rain.
1355
01:46:34,357 --> 01:46:36,442
I wanna know what
happened with Exley.
1356
01:46:38,194 --> 01:46:39,528
Just come in.
1357
01:46:40,906 --> 01:46:43,490
Are you gonna tell me what
happened with you and Exley?
1358
01:46:44,117 --> 01:46:45,451
We talked.
1359
01:46:46,036 --> 01:46:48,120
- So tell me about him.
- Later.
1360
01:46:48,288 --> 01:46:51,248
No! Now.
1361
01:46:53,793 --> 01:47:00,466
You fucked him.
1362
01:47:01,217 --> 01:47:03,260
I thought I was helping you.
1363
01:47:54,270 --> 01:47:56,563
Bud, I'm glad you're here.
I need you to see this.
1364
01:48:06,116 --> 01:48:07,157
Wait.
1365
01:48:33,977 --> 01:48:35,519
Dudley killed Jack.
1366
01:48:36,146 --> 01:48:37,980
He wants you to kill me.
1367
01:48:41,067 --> 01:48:43,068
He showed you the
photo, didn't he?
1368
01:48:43,903 --> 01:48:44,945
Didn't he?
1369
01:48:47,574 --> 01:48:51,035
Think. Goddamn you, think!
1370
01:48:52,287 --> 01:48:54,455
Get the fuck out of here.
1371
01:49:07,093 --> 01:49:08,469
Dudley.
1372
01:49:09,846 --> 01:49:12,014
I checked the daily
report books.
1373
01:49:13,183 --> 01:49:16,643
Dudley, Buzz Meeks and
Stensland go way back.
1374
01:49:20,190 --> 01:49:22,107
I knew Stensland lied to me.
1375
01:49:25,111 --> 01:49:28,197
Lefferts' mother ID'd Stensland
as Lefferts' boyfriend.
1376
01:49:29,949 --> 01:49:34,536
Stensland pretended he didn't know
Meeks or her the night that I met...
1377
01:49:35,872 --> 01:49:37,331
Lynn.
1378
01:49:37,957 --> 01:49:39,541
Stensland and Meeks...
1379
01:49:40,043 --> 01:49:41,710
what the hell were they up to?
1380
01:49:42,504 --> 01:49:45,923
I don't know, but I think Stens
killed Meeks over heroin.
1381
01:49:46,382 --> 01:49:47,508
What heroin?
1382
01:49:53,473 --> 01:49:57,059
Johnny Stompanato told me that
Meeks had heroin for sale.
1383
01:49:57,393 --> 01:49:59,061
Meeks ends up dead.
1384
01:49:59,562 --> 01:50:01,688
Stensland dies at the Nite Owl.
1385
01:50:02,649 --> 01:50:04,399
It wasn't the Negroes.
1386
01:50:05,401 --> 01:50:07,361
The rape victim lied
in her statement.
1387
01:50:07,904 --> 01:50:11,532
The first guys to the Mercury
coupe were Breuning and Carlisle.
1388
01:50:11,741 --> 01:50:13,242
Dudley's guys.
1389
01:50:13,660 --> 01:50:15,452
They planted the shotguns.
1390
01:50:15,662 --> 01:50:18,997
And they'd have killed the Negroes,
too, if Jack and I hadn't shown up.
1391
01:50:19,999 --> 01:50:23,168
Dudley framed them because they
were Negroes and had records.
1392
01:50:23,503 --> 01:50:26,088
He knew there'd be no
questions asked...
1393
01:50:27,507 --> 01:50:29,883
if they were killed
resisting arrest.
1394
01:50:30,927 --> 01:50:33,303
Somehow this is all
connected to Jack's angle.
1395
01:50:33,930 --> 01:50:35,764
Sid Hudgens...
1396
01:50:35,932 --> 01:50:38,100
the pictures to
blackmail Ellis Loew...
1397
01:50:39,185 --> 01:50:40,853
A kid got murdered.
1398
01:50:41,521 --> 01:50:44,565
If we're gonna figure this
out, we need to work together.
1399
01:50:49,445 --> 01:50:51,113
Why are you doing this?
1400
01:50:53,116 --> 01:50:54,950
The Nite Owl made you.
1401
01:50:56,786 --> 01:50:58,412
You wanna tear all that down?
1402
01:51:00,039 --> 01:51:01,790
With a wrecking ball.
1403
01:51:02,292 --> 01:51:04,126
You wanna help me swing it?
1404
01:51:16,431 --> 01:51:18,432
Let's go see Ellis Loew.
1405
01:51:18,975 --> 01:51:21,727
Find out what the
district attorney knows.
1406
01:51:26,941 --> 01:51:28,192
May I...?
1407
01:51:28,359 --> 01:51:31,403
Hey. You can't go in there.
1408
01:51:33,656 --> 01:51:35,407
Want me to call the police, Mr.
Loew?
1409
01:51:35,575 --> 01:51:36,909
Ask for Captain Dudley Smith.
1410
01:51:37,076 --> 01:51:40,871
Tell him we're having a discussion about
the death of an actor at a motel.
1411
01:51:41,080 --> 01:51:42,206
These are the police.
1412
01:51:48,922 --> 01:51:50,130
What do you want?
1413
01:51:50,340 --> 01:51:54,635
I want DA bureau men to tail Dudley
Smith and Patchett 24 hours a day.
1414
01:51:54,802 --> 01:51:58,305
I want you to get a judge to authorize
wiretaps on their home phones.
1415
01:51:58,514 --> 01:52:00,807
I want authorization to
check their bank records.
1416
01:52:01,351 --> 01:52:02,809
On what evidence?
1417
01:52:03,353 --> 01:52:05,020
Call it a hunch.
1418
01:52:06,272 --> 01:52:07,981
Absolutely not.
1419
01:52:08,191 --> 01:52:11,151
Dudley Smith is a highly decorated
member of this department.
1420
01:52:11,361 --> 01:52:13,570
I'm not gonna smear his
and Patchett's name...
1421
01:52:13,738 --> 01:52:14,988
Without what?
1422
01:52:15,365 --> 01:52:17,449
Them smearing yours first?
1423
01:52:17,617 --> 01:52:21,161
What do they have? Pictures of you and
Matt Reynolds with your pants down?
1424
01:52:23,539 --> 01:52:24,623
You have any proof?
1425
01:52:25,291 --> 01:52:27,000
The proof had his throat slit.
1426
01:52:28,378 --> 01:52:30,545
So far, you're not denying it.
1427
01:52:31,881 --> 01:52:33,840
I'm not gonna dignify
this with answers.
1428
01:52:34,050 --> 01:52:36,510
Now, if you gentlemen
will excuse me...
1429
01:52:36,719 --> 01:52:40,555
I have a press conference for Jack
Vincennes that I have to prepare for.
1430
01:52:51,234 --> 01:52:55,696
Unless you came in to wipe my
ass, I believe we're through.
1431
01:52:59,742 --> 01:53:04,705
Don't pull that good-cop-bad-cop crap.
I practically invented it.
1432
01:53:04,872 --> 01:53:07,165
So what if some
homo actor is dead.
1433
01:53:07,333 --> 01:53:10,085
Boys, girls, 10 of them get off
the bus to L.A. every day.
1434
01:53:18,261 --> 01:53:21,805
- Pull him off me, Exley!
- I don't know how.
1435
01:53:24,684 --> 01:53:28,270
I know you think you're the A-number-one
hotshot, but here's the juice.
1436
01:53:28,438 --> 01:53:31,231
If I take you out, 10 lawyers
will take your place tomorrow.
1437
01:53:31,399 --> 01:53:32,941
They just won't come on a bus.
1438
01:53:47,206 --> 01:53:49,124
All right! Okay!
1439
01:53:49,542 --> 01:53:53,795
Dudley and Patchett, they...
Oh, my God.
1440
01:53:54,255 --> 01:53:58,300
I wouldn't play ball, so they set me up. I
gave in, but the kid heard everything...
1441
01:54:00,136 --> 01:54:02,179
- so they killed him.
- Why?
1442
01:54:02,347 --> 01:54:05,766
- What are Dudley and Patchett up to?
- Taking over Mickey Cohen's rackets.
1443
01:54:06,225 --> 01:54:10,437
Because of those pictures,
I couldn't prosecute them.
1444
01:54:10,605 --> 01:54:12,814
Oh, Jesus. Help me up.
1445
01:54:22,116 --> 01:54:25,118
Is that how you used to
run the good-cop-bad-cop?
1446
01:54:26,913 --> 01:54:29,289
Patchett?
1447
01:55:03,574 --> 01:55:06,993
Looks like his bodyguard had
a conflict of interest.
1448
01:55:12,667 --> 01:55:14,000
Suicide note.
1449
01:55:14,168 --> 01:55:18,797
Says he killed Jack because Jack had
figured out a pornography scam.
1450
01:55:18,965 --> 01:55:20,757
Slicing himself open
wasn't his idea.
1451
01:55:22,510 --> 01:55:26,263
- Two of his fingers are broken.
- They must have held him there.
1452
01:55:27,348 --> 01:55:29,266
Or drugged him.
1453
01:55:31,686 --> 01:55:34,187
I'd say Dudley's tying
up his loose ends.
1454
01:55:34,355 --> 01:55:37,441
Patchett's dead. He
sent you after me.
1455
01:55:39,193 --> 01:55:40,485
Lynn.
1456
01:55:41,404 --> 01:55:42,446
West Hollywood.
1457
01:55:42,613 --> 01:55:45,699
- They're closer than we are.
- I'll get the car. Keys.
1458
01:55:52,457 --> 01:55:55,876
Hey. We took her to the
station for safekeeping.
1459
01:55:56,878 --> 01:56:00,130
Hold her as Joan Smith. And no
one sees her unless I okay it.
1460
01:56:01,215 --> 01:56:05,218
Somebody worked her over.
She wouldn't say who.
1461
01:56:10,057 --> 01:56:11,391
- See you, Exley.
- Sure.
1462
01:56:14,812 --> 01:56:18,690
- We should talk to Lynn.
- You do it.
1463
01:56:18,941 --> 01:56:20,025
What are you gonna do?
1464
01:56:23,571 --> 01:56:26,031
I'm gonna talk to Sid Hudgens.
1465
01:56:26,199 --> 01:56:29,117
Compliment him on his performance
at the Victory Motel.
1466
01:56:29,285 --> 01:56:33,663
- Remember, Bud, we need evidence.
- I'll get the evidence.
1467
01:56:46,552 --> 01:56:48,553
Are you okay?
1468
01:56:50,264 --> 01:56:52,265
You okay?
1469
01:57:01,943 --> 01:57:03,610
Bud hates himself
for what he did.
1470
01:57:05,154 --> 01:57:06,905
I know how he feels.
1471
01:57:09,575 --> 01:57:12,077
I need to know what you can
give me on Dudley Smith.
1472
01:57:14,455 --> 01:57:17,457
He's a police captain. He's
in business with Patchett.
1473
01:57:17,625 --> 01:57:18,917
I've never heard of him.
1474
01:57:23,422 --> 01:57:25,882
Do you have someplace
you can stay?
1475
01:57:26,634 --> 01:57:28,552
I'll be okay.
1476
01:57:34,850 --> 01:57:37,477
Nobody goes in
without official ID.
1477
01:57:41,816 --> 01:57:44,067
He's okay. Let him through.
1478
01:57:47,196 --> 01:57:48,905
What happened?
1479
01:57:49,073 --> 01:57:51,950
Somebody beat him to death
and stole a bunch of files.
1480
01:57:52,118 --> 01:57:54,494
Must have dug up garbage
on the wrong guy.
1481
01:57:54,662 --> 01:57:57,497
We got it narrowed down
to 1,000 suspects.
1482
01:57:57,665 --> 01:58:00,000
Sergeant White...
1483
01:58:00,167 --> 01:58:01,668
Dispatch got a call for you.
1484
01:58:01,836 --> 01:58:05,338
Lieutenant Exley wants you to
meet him at the Victory Motel.
1485
01:58:38,956 --> 01:58:41,041
You wanted to meet here?
1486
01:58:42,627 --> 01:58:46,254
- You called it. I thought Hudgens was...
- Hudgens is dead.
1487
01:58:57,183 --> 01:58:59,184
Let's get out of here.
1488
01:59:06,108 --> 01:59:07,817
It's too late.
1489
01:59:57,034 --> 01:59:59,452
You figured this was a setup
and showed up anyway?
1490
01:59:59,620 --> 02:00:01,788
A lot of bad stuff
happened here.
1491
02:00:01,956 --> 02:00:04,874
It's as good a place
as any for it to end.
1492
02:00:14,051 --> 02:00:15,844
Here. Clip.
1493
02:00:20,516 --> 02:00:24,060
All I ever wanted was to
measure up to my father.
1494
02:00:24,478 --> 02:00:26,271
Now's your chance.
1495
02:00:28,065 --> 02:00:30,692
He died in the line
of duty, didn't he?
1496
02:01:29,877 --> 02:01:31,002
Bud.
1497
02:02:29,186 --> 02:02:30,645
Goddamn it!
1498
02:03:30,956 --> 02:03:34,167
- You okay?
- Yeah.
1499
02:03:52,353 --> 02:03:54,270
Come on. Easy. Come on.
1500
02:04:01,111 --> 02:04:02,695
Move!
1501
02:04:24,635 --> 02:04:25,802
Rollo Tomasi.
1502
02:04:29,640 --> 02:04:32,558
- Who is he?
- You are.
1503
02:04:35,187 --> 02:04:37,730
You're the guy who
gets away with it.
1504
02:04:41,026 --> 02:04:43,486
Jack knew it and so do I.
1505
02:05:09,596 --> 02:05:14,475
Are you gonna shoot
me or arrest me?
1506
02:05:19,815 --> 02:05:20,857
Good lad.
1507
02:05:21,942 --> 02:05:23,609
Always the politician.
1508
02:05:24,528 --> 02:05:26,779
Let me do the talking.
1509
02:05:26,947 --> 02:05:30,908
After I'm done, they'll make
you chief of detectives.
1510
02:05:57,853 --> 02:06:02,356
Hold up your badge so they'll
know you're a policeman.
1511
02:06:52,366 --> 02:06:55,660
You think you can talk your
way out of this, lieutenant?
1512
02:06:57,788 --> 02:06:59,080
No...
1513
02:06:59,248 --> 02:07:01,582
but I think I can
tell the truth.
1514
02:07:01,750 --> 02:07:04,335
During our investigation...
1515
02:07:04,753 --> 02:07:08,381
of events surrounding
the Nite Owl case...
1516
02:07:09,007 --> 02:07:12,135
Jack Vincennes, Bud White and
I learned the following.
1517
02:07:13,137 --> 02:07:15,596
Your golden boy's throwing
his whole life away.
1518
02:07:15,764 --> 02:07:18,182
The three Nite Owl suspects...
1519
02:07:18,350 --> 02:07:21,310
while guilty of
kidnapping and rape...
1520
02:07:21,603 --> 02:07:25,106
were innocent of the multiple
homicides at the Nite Owl.
1521
02:07:25,899 --> 02:07:27,859
The actual gunmen
were most likely...
1522
02:07:28,026 --> 02:07:32,905
Los Angeles Police Department officers
Michael Breuning and William Carlisle...
1523
02:07:33,073 --> 02:07:35,074
and a third man...
1524
02:07:35,325 --> 02:07:39,245
who may or may not have
been Captain Dudley Smith.
1525
02:07:39,997 --> 02:07:41,747
The objective:
1526
02:07:42,457 --> 02:07:45,001
The elimination of another
police officer...
1527
02:07:45,169 --> 02:07:47,420
Richard Stensland...
1528
02:07:48,005 --> 02:07:53,926
who, along with former L.A.P.D.
Officer Leland "Buzz" Meeks...
1529
02:07:54,094 --> 02:07:58,264
also committed multiple homicides
on behalf of Captain Smith...
1530
02:07:58,432 --> 02:08:02,268
and then betrayed him over
25 pounds of heroin...
1531
02:08:03,520 --> 02:08:05,605
the retrieval of which...
1532
02:08:05,772 --> 02:08:09,275
was the ultimate motivation
behind the Nite Owl killings.
1533
02:08:11,987 --> 02:08:15,615
Beginning with the incarceration
of Mickey Cohen...
1534
02:08:15,782 --> 02:08:21,245
Captain Smith has been assuming control
of organized crime in Los Angeles.
1535
02:08:21,413 --> 02:08:23,122
This includes the
assassinations...
1536
02:08:23,290 --> 02:08:25,958
of an unknown number of
Mickey Cohen lieutenants...
1537
02:08:26,919 --> 02:08:30,379
the systematic blackmail
of city officials...
1538
02:08:31,590 --> 02:08:36,469
and the murders of Susan Lefferts,
Pierce Patchett, Sid Hudgens...
1539
02:08:37,471 --> 02:08:40,097
and Sergeant Jack Vincennes.
1540
02:08:42,809 --> 02:08:45,478
Captain Smith admitted
as much to me...
1541
02:08:46,271 --> 02:08:50,733
before I shot him at
the Victory Motel.
1542
02:08:52,611 --> 02:08:54,445
That's it.
1543
02:08:56,156 --> 02:08:58,199
Well...
1544
02:08:58,617 --> 02:09:00,451
the press is gonna
have a field day.
1545
02:09:02,371 --> 02:09:06,290
This... Christ, it'll stain
the department for years.
1546
02:09:06,458 --> 02:09:08,334
Decades.
1547
02:09:08,835 --> 02:09:11,754
If we can get the
kid to play ball...
1548
02:09:12,464 --> 02:09:14,632
who's to say what happened?
1549
02:09:15,342 --> 02:09:17,843
Maybe Dudley Smith died a hero.
1550
02:09:18,011 --> 02:09:20,346
- Good idea.
- If we get the press to play.
1551
02:09:28,313 --> 02:09:31,774
You wanna tell me what
you're smiling about?
1552
02:09:36,655 --> 02:09:37,780
A hero.
1553
02:09:38,532 --> 02:09:40,533
How'd he know what
we're talking about?
1554
02:09:40,701 --> 02:09:42,618
He couldn't have heard us.
1555
02:09:44,663 --> 02:09:45,705
And?
1556
02:09:45,872 --> 02:09:48,040
In this situation...
1557
02:09:48,208 --> 02:09:50,543
you'll need more than one.
1558
02:09:56,800 --> 02:09:59,885
It is with great pleasure
that I present this award...
1559
02:10:00,053 --> 02:10:01,971
to Detective Lieutenant
Edmund Exley...
1560
02:10:02,556 --> 02:10:05,766
two-time Medal of
Valor recipient.
1561
02:10:14,651 --> 02:10:18,904
Next year, the L.A.P.D. will
move into its new facility.
1562
02:10:19,072 --> 02:10:20,823
With leaders like
Edmund Exley...
1563
02:10:20,991 --> 02:10:24,327
the image of fat cops stealing
apples will be left behind...
1564
02:10:24,494 --> 02:10:27,997
and Los Angeles will finally have
the police force it deserves.
1565
02:10:42,179 --> 02:10:44,096
You just couldn't resist.
1566
02:10:44,556 --> 02:10:46,849
They're using me, so for
a while, I'm using them.
1567
02:10:49,102 --> 02:10:50,478
Come on.
1568
02:11:09,373 --> 02:11:11,040
Hey.
1569
02:11:25,180 --> 02:11:27,390
Thanks for the push.
1570
02:11:36,983 --> 02:11:38,442
Yeah.
1571
02:11:47,953 --> 02:11:50,663
Congratulations,
Lieutenant Exley.
1572
02:11:53,625 --> 02:11:55,960
Some men get the world...
1573
02:11:56,128 --> 02:11:59,505
others get ex-hookers
and a trip to Arizona.
1574
02:12:11,393 --> 02:12:15,187
- Bye.
- Bye.
