Original subtitles

Good morning, Mr. Sims.

I want you to wear these in court.

I also want you to shave.

This all you got for my defense?

We're still trying for a plea.

A plea?

Ain't gonna be no plea unless I roll on kinetic.

If I do that, then you can bury me in these.

I ain't got a chance, lady. You know it. I want you to look good for the jury,

Arthur. Your appearance should suggest bang for it, not heroin purchaser. And

whether you believe it or not, act confident.

The shoes don't even fit.

Item seven.

The trial of Arthur Sims and Anthony Canetti begins this a .m.

Arresting officers Coffey and Sergeant Bates are on court alert.

Item eight. The cleansing fire, which is a self -styled coven of your basic

fascist Nazi types, plans a march through the North End this a .m., ending

Browning Street, on account of that's where the birthplace is of this loony

founded them.

It's going to be the unveiling of a bust of this Albrighton character, and we

can expect a group of about 15 or 20. Now, on account of the fact that we

want Browning Street burned down in a riot, we're going to assign heavy police

protection. Billings, Kasman, Vicenza, Martin, Kennedy, Ortiz, you're on it.

Lieutenant Goldbloom coordinating.

Item 9. Responding to information from a disgruntled loser, Detective Belker

works an undercover today in the phone room behind Myron's 128th Street

Item 10.

This is a memo from Deputy Commander Swanson to the effect that we got a

shot at the first monthly decrease in crime citywide in the last 22 months.

Here is congrats. Keep it up. At least till the end of the month.

Item 11.

Look, during the last two days, kids from St. Thaddeus Parish have been

collecting cans so that they can go to camp. They've been getting a lot of

from the bums, the winos over on Duke Street.

St. Thaddeus happens to be my parish.

Well, if those patrolling the area just keep your eye out for incidents, I'd

appreciate it.

Okay, that's it. That's the last item.

Oh, while you're leaving, just one thing I want to remind you of.

Maybe some of you don't know it, but Victim's Age has been running a skeleton

crew downtown on voluntary contributions.

Mrs. Frilla has asked me to remind you that a collection box has been set up by

the main entrance.

It's completely up to the individual. Okay, let's go. That's it.

Gold bloom. It never fails. You direct us to this gold bloom? You got him.

You guys with the cleansing fire?

That's correct.

Just the cleansing fire.

Oh, hi.

Hi, guys.

You got permits that'll cover your intended activities?

Of course. You didn't give your exact route.

Which way do you intend turning on Madison? Right, obviously, Harmon

Albrighton's birthplace is on Browning. It's too crowded during midday traffic.

You're going to have to go left to Exposition, then you can cut across to

Browning. We did not come here to march up and down alleys.

Look,

it must be obvious you're not going to be welcome in this minority

And since I'm responsible for your safety, I took the route.

Unless you care to call it off.

You'd like that, wouldn't you, Goldbloom? What I would like, Mr. Edsel,

get through today without incident.

You march, you make your speech, that's it. Understood?

You have no desire to stir up or incite the street pebble, if that's what you

mean. You can be in the 1030 at the parade room.

Agreed.

Well,

sir, this is a higher grade of cotton than I am.

Store corner, People's Drive.

Scales out here robbing each other like there ain't no tomorrow. He just took

off. He went up the alley. Yes, sir.

Captain,

we're up 300 % on robberies and birds and double on assaults. God damn it.

Somebody must have missed a shipment.

Get me Briscoe. Right, Captain.

How you doing, darling? Bobby Hill in the name?

But would you be gracious enough to tell him that his daddy would like to see

him? Edward what?

Van, Van, Valdez, Weissman, Weissman. I'll do your daddy shit.

I have one thing to say to him.

Just go and talk to him, pal. Don't put her in the middle of this, okay?

Officer. Okay.

Would you tell the inspector, please, I'll need overline authorizations on

overtime.

Four units, four to twelve.

Four units, midnights.

And if we could get forthwith assistance from the ferry or farm again.

Mm -hmm. Yeah, right. Thanks.

Captain?

Counselor, I thought you were on trial with Sims and Kennedy.

Frank and jury selection.

Thank you, people are wasting $40 ,000 of the state's dollars.

Why is that?

Isn't that what a felony trial costs?

People versus Arthur Sims, who unfortunately bought his snack one day

drug kingpin?

Will your client testify against Kennedy?

No. I can't.

And no deals?

You're pretty high and mighty on this one. I've got a client with a one -page

sheet who's willing to plead and do a year, and you're acting like he's John

Dillon. He wasn't purchasing for personal consumption. That was resale

Oh, come on, Frank. You don't give a damn what Arthur Sims did.

You're just afraid you'll lose Kennedy if you plead the guy he sold to.

That's not a crime.

No. It's just damn unfair.

So I started having these spells.

I got so tired I could hardly move. Now, you know, stubborn as I am, I don't

want to go and see no doctor. But your Aunt Finney insisted.

Ain't no easy way to say this, Bobby.

Doctors, I'm dying.

How long have you known?

A month or so.

Why didn't you call me? I would have come down.

I'm ill and I ain't dead.

And besides, the way we left her last time, I didn't think you had anything to

do. I would have come down.

Bobby, I know how hard they're working you.

You know, I don't have much room in my place, but I didn't come here to be no

bother. I checked in at the Cumberland.

But I want you to know, before I left home, I said, what's your aunt feeling?

paid her every cent of that $400 that I owed her, but the hotel wants $100 in

advance.

And you want me to loan you the money?

I want to cut our things a little tight. Now, you know how I hate asking you.

Who's your doctor, Reggie?

Now, don't go bothering the man.

What's your doctor's name?

I went to this clinic. There must have been four or five doctors, all kind of

people staring down at me.

You had a little time to be getting nobody's name.

Is it the Edge Hill Clinic?

Yeah, that's it. But they ain't going to tell you no more than I already told

you, Bobby. It's my heart.

It ain't going to last long now.

I had to get to work.

I'll call you later to come back.

Thanks, Bobby.

Now, I know how busy you've been. I was just hoping that we could... Spend a

little time.

We never did take the time just to be together and just to talk.

We're on regular motor patrol. At about 10 .45, I saw a defendant, Kennedy's

Cadillac Seville, illegally parked at a pump. Pump?

Hydrant. Hydrant.

As we approached the car, I was looking through the window, and I saw money

change hands from defendant Sims to old man Kennedy, and then white powder from

defendant Kennedy to Sims.

Good. Good.

Good still picking a jury. Yeah. I don't think it should take much longer.

Uh, Tony, I'll see you in the courtroom.

Excuse me, Captain Channing O'Dryer. I represent Tony Kennedy. This is one of

his associates, Charles Corson.

What is it?

We feel a very hard position is being taken against my client.

What do we have here, Captain?

We have a 62 -year -old man, only two arrests in the past 30 years.

He's wielded a great influence in this community.

As the prime purveyor of hard drugs from 117th Street to 124th. He's such a

prime purveyor. What's he dealing half an ounce to? Dangerous. That's a whole

other question concerning Mr. Kennedy's possible senility.

Now, may I ask you a very private and confidential question, Captain? You can

ask.

Now you're having difficulties on your streets.

What do you mean?

I hear the rumor that the streets have all dried up, that there's a heroin

going on. I thought that you'd be the man to ask. Are you suggesting Kennedy's

cut off the drug supply? Mr. Kennedy involved with drugs?

Uh -uh. No way. Tony Kennedy wants federal correction.

Is that too much to ask?

You're copped to an e -sale. That's 24 months, and he'd like to do it in

I repeat, are you telling me Kennedy's cut off the drug supply? All I'm saying,

Captain, is that he's very influential in his community.

Mr. O'Dwyer, Mr.

Corso, I'm taking what you're telling me as blackmail.

And that means there's no chance Tony Canetti gets a deal.

None.

Yeah, the fourth race was chocolate.

Don't worry, I got it. Honest, I got it all. How you doing, kid? Huh? You

developing the taste for this?

Yeah, I think I am. How about I give you a little top quiz?

Yeah, that's right. Suppose we're waiting.

The cops come in. What do you do?

I get arrested.

Before that, what do you do with all these slips, huh?

You eat them, right? Of course.

Eat these, and you're going to be eating chemically processed paper filled with

poison. Now, I'm going to show you something.

From now on, you use these.

Rice paper from Chinatown.

No preservatives.

Organically pure.

Look, I take care of my people.

Now you get rid of these.

Myron, the Nazis are coming. What? I thought they were in Ghana.

The newspaper said that they wouldn't get a permit. It just came on the radio.

They're marching down Cumberland and they're going to be demonstrating over

Browning Street.

Yeah, not a chance.

Nazis are not going to come parading around here in my neighborhood.

I think I'm going over there on my lunch. I think we're going to go over to

Palma's grocery and ask him for fruit and vegetables and for whatever he's got

there that's rotten.

I called the Edge Hill and every other clinic in Roanoke and there were no

records of Reginald Hill. I even checked with Medicare, there was nothing.

Well, I don't mean to stick my beak into it, partner, but I think you're walking

into a major mistake.

Mistake? Brinko, the man has lied to me about his own death.

Don't you think you ought to...

confront him, maybe talk to him.

He'll just say he's sorry, man. Act real meek, maybe get his eyes all watered up

to make me feel guilty, and then he'll hit me up for some more money. Hey, you

guys ain't got time to eat that. What?

You need it on the streets. The PBA guarantees me a hot meal. We done our

We done the count part. Seven robberies and assault before noon.

Tip of the iceberg.

Price of snacks up 500%. That's if you can even find the stuff. We just pulled

kid out of a dumpster. Shut up, Epstein.

Plus table 19, please.

How long do you think your heart can keep pumping that sludge?

Oh, it just so happens that Margot's special meatloaf is an oasis of culinary

pleasure in these otherwise desiccated surroundings.

Don't you care about your body?

No. At the risk of a dreadful macho cliche, I invite you to strike the walls

my lateral abdominals.

Good. That means nothing.

It's what's inside that counts.

All right.

You know, maybe I'm a little soft, but my tubes are clean.

You know, a man gets to be your age, you better start eating defensively.

One day, a chunk of that meatloaf there is going to get stuck in your plumbing,

you vapor lock.

We're all in our dress uniforms when they fire the salute.

What the hell was that?

Hmm.

All right, what do you got, Sid?

The old man, Kennedy.

Keep pressure on the D .A. to plead him.

I'm touched, but I ain't buying. Hey, the man knows, without smack, you guys

can't keep a lid on things. Oh, come on. Stuff scares for 48 hours.

Five or six greedy players shoot each other up, and Kennedy says, less than 48

hours. There's some grief coming, though.

From who?

From a discontented party.

First, me and you got to talk. Would you step into my boudoir?

Norman, I need 300 beans.

Oh, I don't believe you said that. Hey, look, I'm paying dependents out of my

own pocket.

Come on, at least make it a deuce. I lose, but I can live with it. Yeah,

try this.

50 bucks?

Oh, boy, you sure I'm worth it?

The lady wasn't wrong.

R -E -S -P -E -C -T. Find out what it means to me, Norman. Plus, I don't bust

your parole for a certain torch job I heard about last week. All right, end of

discussion. What kind of defamation is this? Torch job. Come on.

Dad, I've been keeping a ledger on you. You torched the jewelry store.

And how'd you get these wheels, huh? In fact, give me this, huh? You're pulled

out. You're going in. Oh, no, come on. Hey, you got something to work off here,

sweetheart, or you're back in the joint keeping house for King Kong, right? Come

on, let's go pick out an apron for you, all right? No, no, no, no, Luke. All

right, all right, all right, Luke.

I was wrong about your generosity, Spiro.

My mistake, okay?

All right, let's hear something.

There's a second lieutenant of Kennedy's in the picture. Who?

Bobby Stellini.

I know him from my old soldier days.

This individual is writing the book. The world as I see it through my nose. But

he's still pretty connected.

He's ticked off a Corso or something. He's thinking maybe this is his shot.

The ace fat chuck.

Nothing's happened around the streets.

Think about what's piling up somewhere.

Norman.

The natural order has been disrupted.

Now stay with me. Come on, up here. And don't touch anything, all right? Here we

go.

I'm here to see Sergeant Stanley Yablonski. Hey, what's going on around

today, girl? We're in a process.

Not until the bus takes us to Midtown.

What are you doing here?

What are these, your bodyguards? Stanley, we've got to take action.

It's this guy we contracted to buy up the aluminum cans.

Sleazeball's cheating our kids.

Tell him about the door, Father. What's he doing?

He's claiming 15 cans to the power.

Imagine that kind of lowlife twig steak doing a thing like that on a project

we've all worked so hard on. You, me, the kids. We weighed them cans, 12 cans

a pound.

You know how hard it is to find the guy. Yeah. Now he's exploiting the

situation. It's just a question of how many cans in a pound.

Can't you make some kind of compromise?

The man's entirely unreasonable. He says our kids are cheating him.

He says he can pay him what he wants. Then he ducks in his shack and locks the

door. Tell him about the door.

Oh, yeah.

He sicked his police dog out. I don't know what to tell you, Father. It's not

exactly some kind of heavy crime's been committed here. Oh, come on, Stanley.

Blasphemy by fraud.

Canine assault.

I already talked to a cop about it.

Said it wasn't worth his time.

Who told you that?

Forget his name.

Now, believe me, I wouldn't be down here if you weren't our last resort.

Can we count on you?

Okay, okay. I'll send somebody out.

Doc, it's Kirby.

What's this guy's name?

Where can we find him? The phone's name is Glynn. Two hours have passed. We've

had 18 more robberies. I'm trying to protect the fascist march and

with six men, and you people don't have the courtesy to return my calls.

Please do.

Thank you.

Of course, there's an interrogation.

So what's the shot?

My attorney is on trial with my colleague while you're pulling this end

I want you on notice, Mr. Corso.

Your statements to me in court this morning came that close to making a

conspiracy case against you.

Yeah?

Conspiracy to what?

Obey the law?

Obstruct justice.

Distribute narcotics. Captain, you got a case. You bless me. Otherwise, I don't

scare. I know what cop houses look like.

I don't scare either, Mr. Corso.

Then why do I get this feeling?

That you're squeezing my stones to get me to unplug the tap.

Well, you're a cop. You're supposed to be congratulating me.

Give me one of those drug prevention awards.

It won't work, Chuck.

Why, what's that?

You can't afford it.

Right now, people are planning moves on Kennedy's territory.

Oh, gee.

Like that's something new.

They ain't got the product.

They'll go after the product.

And I'll be cleaning up a drug war.

Hey.

Now, I agree that we got a common interest in keeping the peace.

So lighten up on the old man.

Let him do his time in federal with his pals and let's put things back to

normal. Let him go, Henry.

What is it?

What, you mean getting your picture in the paper enough?

Now you're the guy that denies a 62 -year -old diabetic the right to do his

among friends?

Captain.

How's the travel?

Not typical. It's bogged down.

This was a good bust Lucy and I made.

I know that.

This is just one guy's opinion, but when a cop does make a good bust of a heavy

guy, I just hope you back us up on it.

Are they talking about a plea bargain downtown?

There's a lot of rumors, mostly from O'Dwyer. It's not happening.

Not on Tony Kennedy.

Thanks. I'm glad to hear that.

Lieutenant.

Got a call on a situation at the Martin Luther King emergency facility.

I'm the salient in the treatment room. Sector B units and units from the

are on the scene.

Yeah?

Listen, I got a snitch that's Kennedy's second lieutenant, a guy named Stallone,

who's planning a move. What kind of move?

You don't know exactly, but figure I'll force him. Bring him in.

Lieutenant Hunter, I'm in charge here. Do you have anyone injured in there? No,

no. They let us go as soon as they got the drug. Do you have any personnel or

patients that are remaining in there? No, just those boys.

Are the salons a juvenile?

Kids. They're desperate. You better try and get to them. They're injecting

straight Demerol. They won't be alive much longer.

of millions.

And one day, the world will bow down in fealty. Watch the old man. Maybe you'll

like something.

Myron, if they want a confrontation, we shouldn't give it to them now.

Will you listen to that filth? I know. Just don't do anything yet. Hold off.

Don't do anything yet. Here, take a potato.

Potatoes are too hard, Myron. All right, here, so take a marshmallow.

A diminished brain capacity cannot make a single wise decision.

Who's putting pressure?

Oh, no one's come through me.

That's what they say.

Look, if no weakness in the case has developed, I say nail us.

Uh, hold it.

Risco's walking in the door. Wait a minute.

Captain? Inspector, my office.

Sergeant, they're bringing in your guy.

I want to talk to him.

Bobby Stellini, a possession of controlled substance to wit cocaine.

Who's in charge here? You. I'm Sergeant Yablonski. 22 years I buy scrap metal.

Never a problem until this maniac priest. Watch the name going.

Guy comes in yelling and screaming, terrifies my wife. He's a maniac. I

care he's a priest.

Father says that you're undervaluing the price of MK.

Undervaluing? Listen, mister, I'm showing you something.

Here's how kids pick up camp.

Always get dirt in them so they're heavier.

So you're making a big production out of a little dirt?

Why should I pay for dirt?

He says that you sick your dog on him.

Sure, he was trespassing.

I tried explaining my pricing schedule. He's screaming and hollering.

Did he tell you he stole ten bucks out of my cash box?

My father stole money from me? What do you call it? I got witnesses.

And believe me, I am counter -charging. Let me think here a minute. What's to

think about? You busted me, bust him. Look, I'm not going to bust him.

Oh, hell of a justice system.

You bust an old scrap dealer, you won't bust a priest.

What do we do with it? Hold them.

Let me settle this out.

What's going on, Warren?

I've got a drug panic and I can't get a phone call returned.

There's a school of thinking downtown that holds you responsible for that

Captain. Oh?

Is that why people have been going behind my back to pressure the DA on

What happened to Captain's prerogative?

No one's questioning your prerogative, Captain.

Yet. But, Frank, are we using good judgment?

How's that?

Look.

Kennedy will settle for a couple of years off Max in federal housing. When

balance that against your first down crime monthlies in two years, you got

the... What's that got to do with... We're about to blow any possible

news story or two on this one damn crime wave. That's what it's got to do with.

Oh, that's great, Warren. That's just brilliant.

You know where that puts the department?

In the same cage with the Kennedys of the world.

Dope makes the world go round. Dope makes the department look good.

You know...

I never figured you to be simple -minded, Farillo, so I'm going to

this as a political ploy.

Like the white suit. The streets are nuts, but Farillo, he stands tall, even

against the cynics in his own department. Well, you're not going to

ploy, Frank. Not this time, because you will make that phone call to the D .A.

that tells him to cop that plate. You understand that?

You're making me eat dirt I won't.

That's an order, Captain.

Captain.

Bunce has got this Nettie lieutenant in interrogation.

Lieutenant, read my lips. I did not create this situation, you understand?

I'm just riding it out, just like you people, all right? Which leaves you

vis -a -vis old man Kennedy?

Where? Well, where the old man gets busted doing half a litter smack on the

street. Now, is that the product of logical thinking to you, huh? Does that

sound like a man worth 11 million dollars?

A little soft in the noggin, huh, Bobby?

Soft?

Soft, the man collects string in a drawer.

He's saving pounds of newspaper in his closet. Last week he goes down, he puts

in an application in a fast food restaurant for a job three and a quarter

hour. Of course, he has a heart attack. I got to send somebody down and withdraw

the application.

Mr. Stellini was allowing us how the onset of Mr.

Kennedy's senility has strained his relations with his boss.

Maybe we can help you.

How's that?

Give us Kennedy's stash.

It has to be socked away someplace. Give it to us.

Tired to Kennedy and Corso. Would that be in line with your ambitions?

Well, then what?

Do you want me and you to have a good relationship? We're never going to have

good relationship, Bobby.

But if you testify with immunity, it would be as if we shut our eyes and

to ten. You peek.

You call my lawyer.

I don't know about your boss, Delaney, but you're fairly stupid yourself.

You're a drug dealer making plans to be a bigger drug dealer. I see no reason

not to go for you now. Except for your man here totally rousted me. Well, now

it'll be my word against yours, huh, Roberto?

Call your lawyer.

How was the arrest?

They ask, I lie. Who's kidding? I don't want him in here. I want him out. I want

him followed.

You think he goes after Corso? I don't know where he goes, but he's high. He'll

make some kind of move.

It's Kennedy's stash. I don't think he knows where it's at. Maybe he'll find

out. Send Washington in the room.

Assistant DAU for Alliance 2.

Epple says it's a bill of rights day.

Gambling, possession of gaming instruments, disorderly conduct.

Did you see this message, Peter?

Go. I'll take it.

Bobby.

Hey, Bobby.

I tried phoning you a couple of times, son, but you must have been busy.

I want to explain something to you. I called the clinic, Reggie.

They never even saw you.

They told you that?

Wow.

I like that. Maybe to protect my confidence. You're the one that's lying,

Reggie.

And it's tired. And it's depressing.

So just get on out of here now.

All right.

I told you about that clinic. Maybe because you wouldn't believe me.

But I know what I feel. I don't want to hear it, Reggie.

I wish you wouldn't call me Reggie.

You know something?

There's some things that we have to be talking about. And it gets more

now. So why is the first thing you talk about is money?

And what I want to talk about is you ain't dying.

Okay, maybe I'm all right.

Maybe I'll live long enough to bury you.

But the point is, Bobby, I really didn't want to see your son.

Now you've seen me.

Bobby, give me a chance.

What do you want to say to

me?

Maybe I shouldn't have come to you at all.

Maybe you're right.

You still at the Cumberland?

I don't think it ain't.

Got to be no more worry. I'll pick you up

tonight, take you to the bus.

Mick? I'm okay.

Everything's okay.

What happened?

It's nothing.

It's run -of -the -mill lacerations and contusions. You promised you were going

to ride at this, didn't you?

I couldn't, and anyway, I never said that.

No, you broke a promise.

No, I promised I'd be careful.

I couldn't help it if some idiot clunked me with a book. A promise is a promise.

No, don't start, okay?

I tell you what, if you're not going to do it, I'm going to do it. Do what? I'm

going to call your captain.

Your what? I'm going to call your captain. I'm going to tell him to get

the street. That's all.

Nick, if you do, I don't see how things are ever going to work out. You're

pregnant. And what did the doctor tell you? That I'm supposed to stay calm, and

you're not helping. And on the average day, I don't have any more physical

activity than anyone else. You don't want to have this baby, do you?

Don't you ever say that.

Baby's going home to Mama for some good, isn't he?

Not a chance. All the snort he's been doing, he won't eat for a week.

When you got it, baby, flaunt it.

Unit 4 -0 -1 -1, we have suspects still in the approaching premises.

Hospital Narcotics Location, 700 block North Carlin.

Advise unit to approach dialing.

Three still in.

Don't look to me like stilling is expected.

That's it, that's probable cause.

J .D., hold it!

What's up? Don't you listen to your radio? The guy's... The owner of these

premises owns a security service. That guy's got nothing to do with Kennedy.

But Stellini... Stellini broke into the wrong house. He must have got the wrong

address.

Oh, man.

Six -figure loss of time, babe.

Captain, my client, Mr. Koch's house and heart have been trampled. His freedom's

taken by your jackbooters.

We demand release.

I'm bringing habeas corpus within the hour. It's being reviewed right now,

Counselor. It was the Jews' fault.

We were patient with his bungling, but now we demand satisfaction.

I hope your parade was satisfactory, Mr. Edsel.

He did nothing to restrain the mob, then riffraff vandalized our van. We hold

the Jew accountable, Captain.

If you have a criminal complaint, see Sergeant Jablonski. Excuse me?

Custodians of law and order, Jews, now Italians and Slavics.

All right, hang on.

Norman, I want Koch held. Check his weapons for legal registration.

He's got paper, Captain. Then review it again. Review it three times. If we have

any shot at Kennedy's stash, we're going to have to keep this incident quiet.

Otherwise, we're dead. It's gone.

Address slipped from Stellini's pockets right where he went.

He must have written something down wrong.

Check the street address for all possible variations.

North, south, numbers inverted. Check them against Kennedy associates.

How's Stellini?

He should be out of surgery right now. Bait some coffee down there.

Edsel, come in to thank us for doing our best to protect him.

Yeah, yeah, registrations.

Now, if Farilla's got some equipment.

What sort of equipment?

Yeah, yeah, listen, I gotta run some numbers, huh?

So I wanna run them again, all right, pal?

I'm saying that the man's showing me something, all right?

What's he showing you?

Inspector Bristow, Inspector.

Where's the plea on Kennedy?

You want headlines? I'm trying to get them for you.

Where's the plea?

Bernstein's adjourned till tomorrow. There's nothing to be entered till

Now, would you please let me do my job? Your job is to obey orders for all.

Honest now.

You don't really care what the story's about as long as it's hearts and

I can get it for you, Warren.

I have a shot at Kennedy's drugs.

Or would you rather I not look so good?

Would you rather the headlines came elsewhere?

Don't say that, Frank. Don't make me smaller than I am.

No, you won't.

Excuse. Coffee called. Stellini just gave us somebody address checks at 1759,

not 759.

Let's get a warrant.

Okay, gentlemen.

Now, you both agree you're going to abide by these findings. Now, give me

basket.

Basket weighs half a pound. Now you're going to see.

Three.

Seven. Eleven.

Thirteen. Maybe fourteen.

Thirteen? I told you it was underpriced on those kids. There's fourteen cans in

there. You're crazy.

Who are you calling crazy?

You!

You shouldn't be allowed nowhere near those kids.

Who knows what he's doing to them? That's that.

That's that.

Hey, hey, hey.

Let me out of here. Let me out of here.

Get him out of here.

I don't know what's happening anymore.

Sit down.

What's the matter with me, Stanley?

I was just about to ask you the same question.

It's the injustice.

I'm so out of control.

I don't know about injustice, Father. All I know is you just tried to hit a

Or is it justice in that?

No, the point is... The point is those kids.

We're trying to get them out of a violent life into a more productive

you go around street brawling.

You're right, Stanley.

You're absolutely right.

Sometimes I think I ought to put down the collar and go to Poland or Central

America where I can take up arms.

Plenty of soldiers, Father.

But there's a shortage. I was...

Good parish priests.

Sure, there's a shortage if you leave off guys like me who really aren't fit

wear the collar. Hey, what am I hearing here? I assaulted a man. I ought to be

arrested. Well, I'm not going to bust you.

Supposedly, he presses charges. He's not going to press charges.

We're going to work it out.

Now, Father, why don't you apologize?

Reimburse him, maybe, for the ten bucks you took.

And maybe we can get him back on board.

No Hail Marys or penance?

I'm a cop.

I don't give advice of no spiritual nature.

Are you going to arrest him, Father? Quiet now.

Mr. Glenn, Father has something he wants to say.

Go on.

Even a spiritual man can be bested by passion.

I'm not tearing up this complaint if that's what you're driving at. Mr.

if we lock up the father, all the good he's done to these kids, that'll go down

a drain.

You were there.

You saw what he did. All I'm saying is you get your truck and you pick up the

cans like before.

And get 14 cans per pound. 15.

15 if there's a little dirt.

13 if they're total empties. The main thing is that we get these kids to camp.

That's priority number one. And you and me, we don't have no more dealings.

That's in the past.

You have my word as a man of God.

And you kids, you watch out for the dirt, okay?

That way you'll get a better price, okay?

Okay.

Where's my ten bucks?

Neil, J .D., Corby, let's go.

Sergeant, can you handle that?

Okay,

Lieutenant.

We're getting a runaround.

And we're filing a writ now.

Attorney Richens, let's be realists, okay? A situation has developed here

we don't want you to blow with your fat mouth and all your writs, okay?

Now, if I was you, I'd consider that your man got caught with 80 guns, which

will personally keep on checking out until the year 1992 if we don't see just

little cooperation around here, okay? And no more writs for three, maybe four

hours. Huh?

Hold it. Let's go. Nobody move.

You, hurry.

Hold it.

All right, don't shoot.

Don't shoot.

Hey, Harry.

Harry, cool it. You're going to jail. Stop it.

That's enough.

Is this all pure heroin? No, it's not.

All right, Harry.

You have the right to remain silent.

No more passengers.

Wait a minute, I got my ticket in there.

Yeah, but I'm full.

Another bus will be here in about an hour and a half, okay?

Don't worry, you don't got to wait.

I guess that's goodbye then.

You all right?

I don't mind waiting with you.

I'll just sit here.

Just wait.

I'm going to tell you, but since you ain't going to listen to me, I ain't

to say it. Good, don't.

Since you asked, I will.

I think it is a disgrace to leave an old, sick man all alone in a bus

Renko, the man sees me as an easy mark.

He doesn't want to spend two hours with me anymore than I want to spend with

him. And I told you, he is not sick.

He don't look too good to me. He looks like he's lost weight to me.

He didn't look good to you?

Even if he lived to be 112 years old, I'd say the same thing. Talk it out with

the man.

We talked.

There's nothing more to say.

You're talking about something that you know absolutely nothing about. See, you

ask my opinion, then you stonewall me because I'm talking about something I

nothing about. Well, I'll tell you one thing I know something about. He is your

daddy, and as much as you deny it, you are his son, and in many ways, you take

after him. He had absolutely nothing to do with who I am.

Everything I am, I have in spite of him.

Which is precisely my point.

I can't.

You know, there are times that I'm ashamed for you.

I feel weird.

I want to particularly praise the work of Officer Joseph Coffey, who made the

original arrest on Mr. Canetti and seized the drugs in a subsequent

This seizure constitutes the largest in the state.

What about Arthur?

I thought we didn't pre -bargain at night.

What about Arthur Stemm?

Kennedy's finished. We've got him.

A misdemeanor possession of the post office. A misdemeanor.

On account of the impossible time you've given him just because you wanted

Kennedy. Your client possessed heroin. That's a crime.

No.

I didn't know that.

Be Mr. Meanard. I'll check with Erwin.

Oh, my hero.

Love.

Signed. I borrowed some old gray finals and broke, so my client would have

something nice to wear.

No deal.

Until I got back.

Don't worry. He hated them.

Ten minutes until departure time. Bus 61.

New York City, Boston, and Philadelphia.

Excuse me, Busterono? Gate 12.

Did it leave yet? Check the board.

Hey!

Hey!

Dad!

Reggie Hill!

Reggie Hill on board!

Hey, you're coming to see him.

Uh, Busterono.

Just left. Just missed it.
