Original subtitles

You have one remarkable face.

Renoir should have painted that face.

I'm blushing.

Sure you are.

You said you had something for me?

Hope you like it.

Oh, I'm in love.

I operated 10 to 1.

Your cost is $4 ,200.

Come on, Sid, close them.

How do I know it's as good as it looks?

It's from the Regency heist. I wholesaled most of it. You're just lucky

leftovers to piece out.

Okay, Stan, be ready.

When she hands him the envelope.

4 ,200's a little deep.

Well, there's always creative financing.

Oh, Gil, you're so Jurassic.

Why don't you go buy yourself a cold shower?

You're not going to count it?

I adore you, and I trust you.

Gil Higgins?

You're under arrest for the sale and possession of stolen property.

You're a cop?

Show him your jewelry, Stan.

Stan's behind your back.

You're good.

You're very good.

Get him out of here.

Sorry for the floor show, folks.

Your tax dollars at work.

I'll make bail in an hour.

You're free for dinner.

Step over here. I want you to see a beautiful cake.

This one is called Chantilly Lace.

It's a traditional cake, very refined with a touch of proof.

Isn't it wonderful, Stanley?

Yeah, it's great.

You know, this may sound silly, but just being here with all these beautiful

cakes, I mean, pinch me. Are we really getting married?

We're really getting married.

I'm going to take you back, Tony.

Yeah, the Rangers game starts in 20 minutes.

Our most popular cake, the Sweetheart. Five tiers and a heart -shaped base.

I love the heart -shaped base.

Could we have that with the pearls?

Oh, we don't mix and match.

Oh.

Look, um, whatever it takes, whatever it costs, this cake has to be exactly what

my girl wants.

Oh, damn.

All right.

Let's go look at the Petty Force.

Stan, I want to get home in time for the face -off. The key thing here is

decision.

Unfortunately, the words decision and Monica don't go together.

Welcome to the wonderful world of marriage.

Hey,

listen, boss, by the way, we really appreciate you guys helping us out with

this stuff.

Are you kidding? I feel like I'm giving my own son away.

Yeah.

Monica. Monica Lane.

Yes?

You don't remember me. Neil. From Carpenter Junior College?

Oh, yeah.

Hi. Hi. How you doing? Fine.

So, who's getting married?

Um, I am.

You must be the lucky hombre. How you doing, Neil? Stan.

Hi. This is Commissioner Scali.

How are you?

Hey, how you doing?

And his wife, Rachel?

Hi. Hi.

Cool.

Well, nice seeing you.

Who's that?

Oh, just some guy I went to school with.

So we decided?

Yeah, the first one is fine.

Chantilly Lake.

You okay?

Yeah.

Just... Yeah.

You sure that's the cake

you want?

Because if you want to keep looking, we will.

I want you to be happy.

I am.

I'm going to feed Gizmo and get a jacket.

I'll be right back.

Hey.

We could do sushi, Chinese, or we could go back to my place, order pizza, and

get naked.

I told you I'd be out by dinner.

You must have a good lawyer.

I have a good everything.

I'm sure you'll have a good jail sentence.

You don't really want to see me behind bars, do you?

General prison population never liked me.

I think my humor is too subtle.

Keep working at it, Gil.

I'm sure you'll win him over.

I thought you and I could do a deal.

I'm willing to rat out everybody I know in order to save my neck.

Crews, fences, wholesalers, retailers, V &E guys, you name it.

I'm a fountain of information.

Yeah, yeah.

So, you're going to testify against me in court and put me away?

Uh, exactly.

Well, I guess dinner's pretty much a wash.

How long does it take to feed the cat?

Oh, filet mignon. Very high class.

Wait, what's today? I didn't forget an anniversary.

Oh, relax.

You didn't forget anything.

I just thought I'd pamper my hubby.

I don't deserve you.

Feeling broke.

Did you hear about Ed Chandler?

Hardware store, Ed Chandler?

Dropped dead last night.

Heart attack, 42 years old.

I was just in the stall this week.

He talked.

You know...

Sue Gleason's husband went the same way last month, and he was only 49.

This is crazy.

What are you doing?

I can't eat like this anymore.

Like what?

Like this dead animal muscle.

This. Look at this salad dressing. It's pure fat.

Tony, from now on, we're going to eat right, and we're going to live healthy.

Eating healthy is against my heritage. If it doesn't have melted cheese on it,

don't want it.

I want you to live a lot longer than Ed Chandler and Tom Gleason.

Ed smoked three packs a day.

And Tom drank like a fish. Besides, when your number's up, it's up.

What are you doing?

Bring that over to the works so they can feed it to their door. Are you nuts?

Those steaks cost $15 a pound. Your mother's having a midlife crisis.

God's dad's going through one of those. He got an earache.

Starting tomorrow.

No more donut.

No more ice cream.

No more pizza.

Whoa.

Let's not get fanatic.

Stan, it's after midnight.

Monica's gone. She went in to feed the cat and never came out.

The window was open.

Whoa, whoa, slow down.

Stan, what's up?

I called her friends. I called her mother. I called her sister. I've been

driving all over the place. I can't believe this is happening. Is there any

of forced entry? A broken window?

I know how to do a search, boss.

I know you do, Stanley.

I'm sorry.

No. Just an open window.

What happened to her?

She knew I was waiting outside. I... I got a real bad feeling about this.

Rachel, why don't you tell Stanley what you did the week before we tied the

knot?

You know, you know what I did?

I drove out to Trenton in the middle of the night to see my sister. I didn't

call Tony. I just got into the car and I drove.

I felt like I needed my space, you know, clear out the cobwebs.

Really?

Yeah. See?

I'm sure it's the same thing with Monica. She's probably got a case of the

She'll be back tomorrow morning.

I don't know.

Hey, hey.

Would your best man steer you wrong?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for barging in like this. Forget about it.

Just go home and get a good night's sleep.

See you in the morning.

Are you going to be okay?

Yeah, I'll be fine.

You put me on the spot, don't you?

Grace under pressure. Very impressive.

What do you think happened to Monica?

I don't know.

Maybe they're diving into this marriage too quickly.

You said you knew you wanted to marry me the first day we met.

Well, I hit the jackpot.

Not everybody's that lucky.

Luck had nothing to do with it.

Got some more donuts here.

Good morning.

Jerry bought donuts for everyone.

I'm off donuts.

Since when?

Since Ed Chandler changed my life.

Granola bar.

Every bit is tasty and not one ounce of fat.

So you're into health now?

That's right.

Looks delicious.

It's great.

Want to know my theory?

Eat, drink, and be merry.

My Uncle Clarence, he ate T -bone steaks every night.

Gravy. Inhaled his cigars and sucked beer like there was no tomorrow.

Then the doctor told him to quit.

Dead in six months.

Hit by a bus.

There was a robbery at Sussman's jewelry store last night.

Anyone hurt?

No, but we got the tape from the surveillance camera.

I think you should have a look at it.

I'll be over there in a minute.

I don't think you want to wait a minute.

Stance Monica?

That's really... That's that guy from the

bakery. What was his name? Neil.

Yeah. I knew he was a creep.

He's probably been stalking her the whole time and then grabbed her at her

apartment. It's possible. He's holding her hostage. We've got to get her back

before he does something. We'll get her back. Stan, you've got to calm down.

I'm going to need your help.

All right.

I want you to bring in the sustenance, get him to go over the tape with you and

have Julie transcribe it. No, Bob. Come on, I gotta be on the street looking for

this guy. Right now, do this.

You know Monica better than anyone. Maybe you'll see something that'll help.

Okay.

Where's he going?

Talk to the suspects.

If I let him sit on his hands, he'll self -destruct faster than a lit match.

Lou's doing a video enhancement of the tape right now.

Good. You need a complete ID on this Neil What's -His -Name.

Well, I call Carpenter Junior College like you asked. It's going to take them

whole day to dig up their class records.

Might not be a bad idea to talk to Gil Higgins.

He may know who's fencing the Sussman job.

If I go back to that wolf, he's going to think I want a date.

The things we do for God and country.

Hey, Tony.

What's your read on this?

Well, it seems like the sweetest girl in the world.

She did have a gun in her hand.

The minute he came in, I said he was trouble. I told you he was trouble.

Okay.

Right here.

When he first pulled out the gun, what did he say?

He said he wanted me to open up the case.

He asked me to open the case, not you.

He asked me first.

Officer, you'll have to excuse my wife.

She don't remember she's alive half the time. Oh, you're so smart. Why you

didn't get that security system like I told you to? This would have never

happened. Well, you're talking $5 ,000.

Oh, but you're so cheap. That's what they said.

They got a rewire. Okay, stop it. Both of you.

You're acting like a couple of children here. Don't you know how important this

is? That woman's life is in danger. Stan.

I'm sorry.

This is very important to me.

I need your help so we can catch this guy and you can get back what was stolen

from you, okay?

I'm sorry, officer.

Let's try it again.

Mrs. Sussman, what did he say to you when he pulled the gun out? To open up

case with all of the jewelry.

He told me to open up the case. What are you talking about? What am I talking

about? I know what I... What am I talking about?

Couldn't stay away, huh?

I'm here on business.

Even better.

Come in, I want to show you something.

I'll bet you do.

We can talk right here. Come on. I'm not going to fight, unless requested.

Come on, I really want to show you something.

Wow.

They were all done, my abused children.

Oh, my sister works at a shelter in Miami.

Some of these kids really have talent.

They have so much inside of them.

Oh, I really like this one.

Me too.

You know, when I was doing forgeries, I had them all.

Hockneys, Rauschenbergs, Warhols.

Somehow I like these better.

They're not as sophisticated, but they're more... honest.

Some cafe latte?

No, thanks.

What do you know about the Sussman jewelry store heist?

Neil Perry.

Neil Perry?

That's the word on the street.

How would you like to make your first foray into the world of civic

responsibility?

What do you need?

Set up a mate with Perry.

If I do, can I count on you to talk to the D .A. about our little

misunderstanding?

All you can count on is a nine -by -nine jail cell if you don't.

Beautiful, sexy, charming, and a fabulous negotiator.

Is the name Neil Perry ring a bell?

No. He's a perp. I'll charge one of his names through the computer now.

How'd it go with the Thussmans?

I spent half the time prying them apart.

I mean, why do people get married if all they're gonna do is fight?

Did you get it all transcribed?

I'm reading through it now.

It's not gonna help.

How are you doing?

I don't know what planet I'm on.

Other than that, I'm fine.

Hey, boss.

What is it, Johnson?

I, uh, didn't know you were busy. I'll come back later.

Yep, later.

Who is he?

Well, I ran the name Neil Perry through NCIC.

He got out of Rahway last week where he did seven years for armed robbery in

Syracuse.

Go on.

He had an accomplice seven years ago. His girlfriend at the time.

It was Monica.

No way.

She got probation.

She what?

Couldn't believe it myself.

Well, I don't care about seven years ago. She's not with this guy now.

We don't know that, Stan.

What are you saying, John?

And she's an armed robber and I'm an idiot?

Whoa, whoa.

Thanks, John.

Ibs is a jerk. No, he's not. He's just looking out for you.

Look, it's been a rough day. I want you to go home and get some shut -eye. No.

Come on, boss. You know Monica.

She's not some lowlife like we drag in here every day.

She's the girl I'm gonna marry. I know that.

Let me take you home.

Stan, you gotta take care of yourself.

You haven't slept in two days.

Let me get you something to eat.

Butterscotch pudding?

Fruit punch?

Marshmallow cream? Eat like you're in third grade.

There's some other stuff in the cupboard.

Barbecued potato chips.

Chocolate chewy pops.

Help yourself.

You gotta eat better than this, Stan.

Rachel's got me on this new diet, and I feel great.

These things any good?

Why don't you

get some sleep?

Ever tell you how I met Monica?

No.

Me and Rose were out practicing for the league sectionals, and Monica and a

friend of hers were in the lane next to us.

So Monica rolls her ball, bounces into our lane, and knocks down a 7 -10 split.

It was one of those amazing, funny things, you know?

And we ended up going out for coffee and stayed up all night long talking.

I'll tell you something, boss.

The first time in my life I could...

See it, you know, the white picket fence, kids running around, barbecues in

backyard. It sounds great.

She's everything to me.

Love how a room feels when she's in it.

Love how she feels when I have my arms wrapped around her.

Something happens to her, I couldn't handle it, boss.

I just couldn't.

We'll find her, Stan.

You gotta get some sleep, though.

No.

I need to get Monica back.

she's really with this guy, do you?

from the Darnell building.

On Matt Matheson? I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

Describe the house.

There's a country carriage for sale sign.

How'd you know where I was? I had a trace put on your phone, that's how.

It's not here. The house is empty.

You got lucky. You could have been killed here without backup. Just because

you're hurt doesn't give you the right to violate procedure.

You're telling me you'd have done different if it was Rachel?

Yeah, I would have called it in.

There he is on the roof of that apartment.

This was their hideout. They get neatness points. Clean as a whistle.

Billy just ran down the title.

It's a rental property of a Dr. Rayburn who lives in Albany.

So, depending on what you believe, it was either their hideout or a convenient

place to whack Stan.

You think she's all in with Neil Perry, don't you?

Makes sense to me.

She calls, pretends to be a hostage.

It's her insurance in case she gets caught.

Oh, Billy also told me there was another his and her holdup this morning at a

jewelry store in Groverton.

Perry and Monica fit the description.

Hey, Mike.

Yeah, boss?

I want you to stay with Stan for a while.

Keep him close and stay alert. I'm not so sure this lunatic Perry isn't going

take another run at him. Right.

You like it?

I already told you that I like it.

But I can't accept it.

Why not?

It's got nothing to do with any of this. It's a gift.

From one art lover to another.

I'm your arresting officer, Gil.

If you don't accept it, I won't tell you when I'm meeting Neil Perry.

You talk to him?

He's going to call me back tomorrow, tell me where to meet.

Once unload, 100 G's worth of stuff.

That's great.

Did he mention anything about bringing someone, a girl named Monica?

No.

You'll need cash. I can requisition it.

How about a movie tonight?

What part of the following don't you understand?

I'm a cop, and you're a criminal.

I hate that word.

I don't hurt people.

Use broker.

Facilitate. Fence.

Forger. You saying you're not attracted to me?

I was in here.

What happened to the cinnamon rolls?

Mother chucked them.

Oh, that's not fair.

I'm not out of shape.

And when you get older, you'll thank me. Believe me.

Oh, yeah? Well, we learned about Winston Churchill in school.

Not only did he beat the Nazis, but his diet was pure fat.

He looked to be 90.

Yeah, well, he'd still be alive today if he didn't talk about carbohydrates.

I'll get it.

No!

Hello.

Is this a bad time?

Neil Perry's meeting Gil at the Eastbridge Mall in an hour.

Get all the available bodies out there. Now, go!

Gus,

where's everyone going?

Eastbridge Mall.

Got a lead on the guy who's hitting up all these jewelry stores?

Neil Perry?

I think that's his name.

You sure you don't want half?

What is it?

Italian salami, prosciutto, a couple of slices of mozzarella, Jersey tomatoes,

and hot mustard.

Nah, I'm not really hungry.

I bet at least that Chandler died happy.

Who?

Perry's heading your way. He's alone.

All right, people, stay alert.

You must be the famous Gil.

Neil?

Where's Monica?

Out of fear.

Should we just grab Perry?

Not yet.

Parking lot units.

Check mall exits for Monica.

Now, let's, uh...

Let's see some merchandise.

No, not here. It's too public. Do you know the alley behind the mall? No, no,

no, no, no.

Here's fine.

Some of the time. Wait, what's the problem?

Sanderson told you about me, right?

Come on, let's do some business.

Huh? This doesn't feel right.

All right, let's grab them.

Where's Monica?

She slept in.

Had kind of a long night.

Uh -uh.

Can't shoot me.

I'm unarmed.

That would be against the law.

to do it. That's the only thing that makes sense. He's got some kind of hold

her. Don't second guess, Stan. There's no point.

We just found her car up on Painter Bridge Road.

Abandoned, wiped clean.

You're going to put a separate warrant out for her arrest, aren't you?

I kind of have to, Stan. She was driving the getaway car.

I'm sorry.

Let's go over the suspect robbery transcript one last time.

Let's see if there's anything we missed.

Hidden messages, body language, anything.

I've read it about 20 times already. There's nothing in here. We're not going

read it, Stan.

We're going to act it out.

Sid, you be Monica. I'll be Perry in the suspense.

What do you want me to do? I want you to listen to Sid.

Make sure it sounds like Monica. It has her rhythm, her feel.

Anything out of the ordinary, you let me know. Try to stay with the tape.

Perry says to Sussman, open this case and put everything in the bag. And

says, please don't hurt us, we'll give you anything.

At which point, Perry tosses another bag to Monica and says, get everything in

the case, darling.

Monica points to Mrs. Sussman, this case here, are these tennis bracelets?

Yes. Put them all in. What are these?

Hargrove watches.

All of them.

These St. Pastore?

No, the Galloway.

Too bad, you should have St. Pastore.

Give me all those gold chains. Come on, hurry.

Then Perry pipes up, time to boogie, darling.

Stan, I'm doing Olivier here.

I'm sorry, can you rewind to Monica's last exchange?

There.

Uh, she tells her to put the watches in the bag and then she points at the other

case. And she asks if they're St. Pastore.

She's pointing at fountain pens.

You sure?

Yes. Mrs. Thurston says they're Galloway. Galloway's a pen.

Yeah, I thought she was talking about watches when I read it.

Why would she be interested in pens when she's surrounded by jewelry?

Maybe she wasn't... I've never heard of a St. Pastore pen.

Have you?

No. And then she says, too bad, you should have St. Pastore, like she wanted

emphasize.

St. Pastore, is there a St. Pastore Hotel, St. Pastore Street?

Martin Eastbridge.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wasn't there a St. Pastore Church that shut

recently?

Backup units, cover. We're going in the north side.

Stand. You post up front, Sid, you come with me. Boss, don't cut me out of the

play, please.

All right, Sid, you post up front. Come on.

Now put your guns on the floor.

You tried to take my girl, Kelly.

Not your girl.

Oh, she's mine.

She's been mine for the last seven years.

I light her up from the inside like nobody else. Tell him, darling.

Nobody takes what's mine.

I got a waist, Kelly.

that if I didn't stay with him that he would grab my mom and my sister and do

horrible things to them and he meant it.

I was really scared and I didn't know what to do. Why didn't you tell me about

you and Neil?

I was afraid that you wouldn't understand.

I was ashamed.

It's just kind of hard to figure it all out, you know what I mean? Seeing you

with that gun.

Robbing a store.

You driving away with him at the mall. It wasn't me, Stanley.

It was him.

I don't expect you.

Look, if you don't believe me, maybe we should just... No, I didn't.

I didn't say that. I didn't... You didn't have to.

Everything's changed.

No.

Nothing's changed.

I love you.

Sawyer called me this morning.

Said you put in a good word with the D .A.

That was the deal, wasn't it?

I don't understand you, Gil.

You're educated, you're articulate.

You could be successful without... Bad training, I guess.

My high school ethics teacher was a guy named Swift.

He thought the sting was a training film.

I didn't have a chance.

You're even prettier when you laugh.

I know, the whole cop -criminal thing.

Look, all I'm saying is... One kiss.

Find out if there's any chemistry between us. If not,

I'll walk away, never darken your door again.

Goodbye, Gil Higgins.

Call me a party pooper, but there's something about all this

that still bothers me.

All this?

Look, I know the D .A. believed that Monica acted under duress, but just...

she hooked up with Perry because she wanted to.

Just, things got out of hand. She realized she'd made a mistake. She

for help. That didn't pan out. Now, her only way out was to get rid of the one

person who could incriminate her.

So she pushed him over the railing.

She saved Stan's life. That's why she pushed him.

Maybe I just hate seeing anyone get married before I do.

What's taking Monica so long?

She wanted me to give this to you.

Dan, I know in my heart things can never be the same between us.

You'll never be able to trust me completely.

There will always be doubt in your eyes.

And I couldn't live like that.

Neither could you, despite what you say now.

No, nothing's changed.

I love you.

Please forgive me.

Fancy face.

My heart breaks for him. Me too.

It's just not fair.

What's that?

I don't know.

Hold it!

What are you doing here?

Delivering a pizza.

Oh, hi, Dad.

Sorry to wake you.

Here. Keep the change.

Is everything all right?

Fine.

Why didn't you tell us you were going to order a pizza?

You're so into this eating right thing.

I didn't want to tempt you.

I know how much you like pizza.

That's not the point. You scared us half to death.

Sorry. But it's okay if I eat it, right?

Yeah, it's okay.

What would Winston Churchill do if he was facing this diabolical enemy?

Attack.

This is what they eat in heaven.

They don't have cholesterol in heaven.

Just one slice.

I'm only going to have one slice.

This is East Bridge's finest hour.
