Original subtitles

Is that him?

Yeah.

Cover me.

You Dempsey.

Yeah, who are you?

I don't know you.

You don't know me.

You called.

What do you want?

I've got a message for you.

From who?

I don't know.

I'm just a messenger.

What's the message?

Fifty-thousand, eh?

Used, untraceable.

It's yours.

For what?

You've been asking questions around Millwall last week.

What questions?

You know I don't.

I could have been asking what if I true them in Millwall.

That worth fifty-thousand?

Maybe.

Maybe.

No deal.

Think about it.

I don't have to think about it, pal.

You're under arrest for attempted bribery.

Charlie, five to control.

Dempsey.

Remember, Joey?

This is from Coltrane.

What on earth was he talking about?

He did it!

No!

No!

No!

No!

What's the problem?

You didn't tell nobody why.

What?

My boss is drove in here.

Coltrane.

Coltrane.

He killed it.

He finally caught up with it.

Who did?

We've got to get out of here.

No!

Seal the site off and keep the press out of it.

Are you sure this is Coltrane?

All right.

All right.

It had to happen when it is this.

But why now?

Something we're working on, maybe.

Which is what?

Nothing specific.

We heard somebody was setting something up.

We don't know where we don't know what.

They were just looking for some muscle.

But there could have been a thousand other ways.

At least.

How do you want to play this?

I already thought it out.

There's only one way to play it.

I'm dead.

One of those bodies back there is mine.

And we send you to a different town.

Wrong.

I stay here.

I go into deep cover.

Until I find out what the hell is going on

in how Coltrane found me in the first place.

Then Hattie will be your control.

Hold it!

You can both stop right there.

I'm not going to be anything until someone tells me what's going on.

I'll arrange your funeral.

Who's Coltrane?

To the world is the assistant commissioner of the M.I.P.

date.

To a very few.

He's the chief protector of the biggest crime families in New York City.

What's he got against you?

I all but busted him in the middle of a drug's deal.

Put out a contract on me.

That's why I left New York.

Oh, Mr. Conrad, you're just in time.

Can I ask you to sign this?

Do you have a good flight?

It's fine.

Your suites are all ready for you, sir.

One going to be two of you.

There will be.

Joe, Mr. Conrad, can you speak with me, please?

Thank you very much, sir.

All right.

You know, Chad, every time I read this, it makes me want to cry.

Yeah, and if you don't, he saved one dog once from drowning.

We may have got you a posthumous MBE.

I saved the dog.

No, he died.

Hey!

Ah, thank you, Chad.

How was my sendor?

Did they say nice things?

It was small, dignified, and genuinely moving.

In other words, totally inappropriate.

No celebrities.

No.

You can certainly tell a man's character from his mourners.

Yes, a couple of winers.

Three retired burglars?

Yes, that's from a rather obscure airline.

That was all.

You did have some rather nice flux.

Ah.

In particular, a rather splendid wreath.

Telegraph anonymously from New York.

Yes, Dempsey.

What's this?

An advance from your local shorns.

It ain't very much.

Deep cover, Dempsey.

If it takes a long time, you're left with only your own living.

We can't afford to take chances.

Okay.

One final obvious thing.

Shoot.

You'll be in the field.

Harry, as control, will be in charge of the case.

Sure.

Stay out as long as you think it's safe, or until Harry calls you in.

Good luck.

It's me.

Yeah.

Now the setup's perfect.

Bedtime reading.

Thank you.

Well, spread the history.

It's so close to 24.

I feel better already.

Lab Walter's already led.

Fine.

Six weeks, I'm not a word.

The thought of Dempsey out there doing I don't know what makes me very nervous.

Any sightings?

He's disappeared.

Lucky, Harry.

Lucky, huh?

With the mouth that says that, I'd like to put some dough on the next shot.

You should have to create a tight swing, yay?

Now chance.

Here we go.

I don't believe that.

I don't believe that.

You've blown it now, Mac.

I thought you were smack the leg.

Hey, you know, trouble with your lime is that either

these balls are too big or your pockets are too smooth.

Good luck.

You loose.

You owe me 50.

I'd say to, uh, double or nothing on the last four.

How about, uh, double again, if your old man takes a shot?

Done.

I'd

like to play you single sometime.

Anytime.

Sorry, Johnny.

Good try, buddy.

I'll buy you a drink.

Hey, that guy, you said, was looking for muscle to see him around him?

Nah.

See, I couldn't get the angle on it.

Forget it, no sweat.

You lost 200.

Yeah, well, you made the shot while the money was hot.

Hey, Mr. Good try.

Listen, if you need some money, maybe I could help out, huh?

How'd you like to work for me?

Doin' more.

You stick around, you know, you keep me from getting into trouble.

You know, I'm the one time you show me around.

What's that word you've got for a, uh, bodyguard?

Minder.

Here.

A minder.

You can be my minder.

How much?

A couple hundred a week.

I'll pick up the tabs.

What do you say?

It's a deal.

It's a deal.

Thanks.

That's him.

That's who?

That's the guy that's looking for the muscle.

You know his name?

No.

But you could find out.

Yeah, good.

Yeah, we'll find out, okay?

I'll circulate.

Ah, Johnny.

I'll circulate with you.

Yeah.

Hello.

Good morning.

It's his start to our services.

I think you've got the wrong number.

Oh, no, no, no.

I've got the right number.

Don't hang up.

It's 4, 3, 7, 4, 2, 9, 9, right?

Start to our services.

Am I right?

Oh, it's you.

Do you realize at six o'clock in the morning?

Ah, well, you know, time flies when you're having a good time.

Um, the name is Lupino.

Johnny Lupino.

Johnny Lupino.

Yeah, you do guides.

Ah, I need guidance.

Why are you in some kind of trouble?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I just want an official guide, you know, so I can see the sights, you know?

See the town?

Yes, sir.

When do you want to meet?

Um, 7 o'clock.

Is evening?

No, no, 7 o'clock this morning.

Um, in front of Albert Hall.

Right, sir.

7 AM.

Oh, uh, listen, I want an official guide for

credit in one of those cute little uniforms.

Oh, uh, we don't wear uniforms, sir.

They don't do uniforms.

We need beer.

Charlie 5 to control approaching pick-up point now.

Roger, and out.

Hey!

Look!

Hi, guys!

Hi, guys!

Yeah!

Uh, Mr. Lupino.

Hey!

Hey!

But, buddy, this is it!

Let's go!

Let's go!

Uh, excuse me.

I thought there was only going to be one of you.

Yeah, I'm right, lady.

There is only one of me.

And one of him.

You can call me Johnny.

Oh, the Wolf Man.

Oh!

Hey, who gets your name?

Galactica.

Well, gal.

This is my minder.

Mr. Smiley.

You can call me Butch.

Thank you.

Well?

Well, show us the sights.

Well, pretend you'll... pretend you're ill today.

Hey!

Hey!

Have a day, I'll be safe.

On the side.

On the side.

I've got a ripple with walnut flakes, maple syrup, cherry on top.

Are you sure?

Positive.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Get yourself some.

Right.

Dempsey, I have had enough.

I've got a name for you.

Conrad.

He's looking for muscle, top money.

What's the job?

I don't know, surveillance, what's necessary.

24-hour, get a crack team, because this guy's no amateur.

Description?

Six-foot, blonde hair, blue eyes, well-dressed wear suits.

He's going to set up a meeting.

Them got me maple, walnut, cherries, nothing like that.

Just vanilla.

Vanilla?

Vanilla.

Sure.

He's setting up a meeting with some heavies at a pub called a pilot.

Hey, what's this?

Hey, Ensign.

Are you all right?

Been worse.

Well, you look like you need some sleep.

Hey, Johnny, the wolf.

Don't sleep.

Diving and driving all the time.

He's coming back now.

How do I contact you?

Them see, how do I contact you?

Well, not late.

No, thanks.

Hey, the lactic has got another book and butch.

I've seen you enough already.

I'll show you, sweetheart.

50 pounds.

50?

50?

A day like today?

Hey, here's a hundred.

Oh, thank you so much, sir.

My pleasure.

Now, listen, if you break free later, maybe you could

join us for the happy hour at the Soho-cella, Soho-cella.

Well, it's against regulations.

Well, all right.

But if you change your mind, you know, and

you've got a friend who'll be nice to my friend.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And you're going to be nice to you.

Some druid, huh?

I think she fancies you.

I need your own gear.

Provide all the hardware.

I've already made the arrangements.

Together, too, we'll provide the transport.

I'll clear it with a boss now.

I'll call you in an hour.

Mara!

Mara!

How are you?

Oh, good.

But don't ask about the flight.

The New York End is solid.

All we have to do is deliver on schedule.

Only you could have set this up.

Mm, compliments are cheap.

Come on, I could use a drink.

No, you've got to relax.

You've got to be fine.

Yeah, you've got to think broad-minded.

That's right, using your mind to get broad.

Yeah.

Show that you've got an expanded sense of consciousness.

Yeah.

Talk about the arts.

Ballet.

Ballet is a good one.

Oh, you mean like men and tights?

Yeah, that's what really counts along.

Hey, gal, you made it!

Who is this?

Johnny Blossom.

Blossom.

Blossom?

Oh, right!

Blossing, blossing, blossing, blossing, say hello!

Hi.

How's it going, Kate?

How's it going, Blossom?

Where did you find her?

I leave the cabinets.

Listen, we have to talk.

Hey, you like that song?

Hey, I do.

This is awesome.

We're going to dance.

Wait for the champagne.

Hey, hey.

Hey,

hey, hey, shall we swary?

You don't have to do this all the time.

Keep water.

What do you got?

No, we've opened up a really nice divipus.

Oh, really?

Carl Conrad has mafia connections.

Who are the other two?

Ex-paratroopers.

Oh, he's putting together a heavy cane.

Wrong.

Mara Conrad's putting together a heavy tree.

The wife?

We think it's a cover.

You're not sure.

No, she's a total mystery.

There's only one way to find her.

What's that?

That's it.

If someone gets close to her.

Someone.

How close?

Close enough to find her.

Well, she knows.

A friend of yours.

Yeah.

Oh.

Seems nice.

I'm his minder.

That's what happened.

You want me to do this, son?

I don't know if you want to do that.

And you don't care.

Don't you don't care?

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Keep it on!

Well, what the hell?

Well, if John and Lupino can pull this broad... Who cares about him, right?

Well, Johnny Lupino may be out of his depth.

Mara Conrad is a class act.

Lupino?

Yeah.

Always put a cherry in his sleeve.

There's a guy with no sling from a bullshire.

He doesn't matter.

Okay.

Okay.

Don't stare at the castellers.

This is a smarter town.

Yes, sir.

Your Singapore slings are all the mysteries of the Orient.

Thanks.

When she comes in, call for another.

Okay.

Hey, I'll have another.

Right away, sir.

Good evening.

What'll it be?

A martini.

Dry, right?

Very dry.

I'm not gonna make him right.

Then you'll be the only guy in town who does.

Lady, the way I mix him.

It's like putting Manhattan in a glass.

Hello there.

Good evening.

Aren't you right?

I'm waiting for someone.

Aren't we all?

Hmm?

Hmm.

You do make them good.

Can you see Central Park yet?

No.

That's because you don't eat your olives.

Stuff's bad for you.

Farman.

Well, champagne.

Tell you what we did.

Hey, hey, hey, why don't you ease off, pal, huh?

What did you say?

Listen, uh, why don't you eat some coffee?

Maybe I had too much to drink.

You're trying to say that I'm drunk?

No, sir.

I wouldn't suggest anything of the sort.

What the hell are you suggesting?

Do you know what he means?

Stop bothering the lady.

Lady, she's a hooker.

Come on, I love you.

How much do you leave?

Hey.

You are fired.

Fine, fine.

Here.

It's your loss.

Listen, uh, why don't we blow this joint?

I'd love to show you somewhere nice.

Why not?

Are you listening to me?

Sure.

Old Joe Barrelli went up the mountain.

No, not the mountain.

The Empire State Building.

There ain't no mountains in New York City.

That's exactly why Joe Barrelli took Little Louis up the Empire State Building.

It ain't the tallest building anymore.

Well, it was then when Louis was little.

Me too.

So he takes him up and he shows him the whole city.

Brooklyn.

Queens.

Staten Island.

Richmond Hill.

Richmond Hill.

So he said, now remember, the family controlled

all the garbage removal rackets east of the Hudson.

So he says, one day Louis, if you marry my daughter, all this garbage will be yours.

It was his dream.

Sounds dream.

And it all could have come true.

Except for the Lower East Side.

You know about that?

I've been around.

There's more to you, sweetheart, than meets the eye.

You better believe it.

Can you walk?

I can't drive.

Oh.

Princess, your carriage has arrived.

Dump us home!

Thanks a lot, Captain.

For God's sake away.

Johnny.

Yeah.

I don't know, I had a wonderful evening.

Yeah, maybe we should do it again.

I'd like that.

I'll call you.

You lost your job on account of me.

Yeah, I guess I did.

I'll talk to my husband about you.

And why would you want to do that?

Well, he might have something for you.

Who knows?

Would that be cool?

Johnny, you are very special.

My husband is not going to get in the way.

Let's do this right.

It's me.

You were dreaming about me, right?

I have nightmares about you, but I'm awake.

Why would I need to dream about you when I'm asleep?

Mind if I help myself to a beer?

Why should I mind?

You've broken in here so many times, and I might as well just give you a set of keys.

So, how did it go?

You were wrong about the Pinot's charms.

He did all right.

So what did he find out?

Well, nothing yet.

Then why are you here?

Just making a report to my controller.

Hey, listen, I'm sorry if I'm keeping you up.

Dempsey, what is the matter with you?

You've been acting very peculiarly lately.

Nothing.

There's something going on.

It's more than just culturing.

I can feel it.

You don't want to know.

Yes, I do.

I'm your partner.

I have a right to know.

I was working on this case for a long time.

Five years on and off.

We worked outside the department on our own.

Joey started hitting the bottle.

He became unreliable.

The closer we got, the more he started to crack.

But I kept that in.

Until it got so close, so hot.

So stupid.

So obvious, I never saw it.

All the time.

Joey had been feeding me false leads that he'd been fed.

Because all the years, I was looking for the man.

The man had already gotten to my bottom.

We finally could nail the man.

Sampling a new ship.

A culmination of five years' work.

I waited for this phone call from Joey.

All night I waited.

We called home and meet him at the ducks.

The finger is going to bring the sample to the man.

Then we're going to nail him.

Suddenly Coltrane shows up.

Coltrane was the man.

Only instead of the finger bringing the sample to Coltrane.

It brings it to me.

Joey had set me up.

Get out of here!

Get out of here!

Maybe

it was his drinking that saved my life.

Because his reflexes were slow.

He was going to put a back on my head off.

And instead you shot him.

So...

you killed your partner.

Has the merchandise arrived?

The deal's today.

Same location?

Yeah.

I need some information on a Johnny Lupino.

L-U-P-I-N-O.

What sort of information?

Anything you can get.

I'm going to get some sleep.

It's me, Johnny.

It's Butch.

How many times I tell you?

Knock, speak, and... I forgot.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Okay, boss.

I hate this game.

He's right.

Oh, I don't know, boss.

You know how to drive?

Yeah.

Okay, let's go.

Move it.

What are we

waiting for, clearance?

Okay, I'm ready.

How long have you been driving?

Since I was a kid.

Only, uh... Only what?

Only I lost my license a couple of years ago.

Did you kill anybody?

No.

And drive.

Hey, boss.

We've got a company.

Stay cool, Butch.

Okay.

Leave it to me.

No, Butch!

Butch!

Butch!

Butch!

Butch!

Butch!

The lady wants a tool.

Nice driving.

What's the matter?

You're phone disconnected.

Not the time for jokes, Johnny.

He was carrying this.

Got a lot of friends in New York, Johnny.

I got a few.

Who have you worked for?

Lots of people.

Like?

Sorry, baby.

I don't kiss and tell.

Good habit to get into.

Yeah, that's right.

I might have a job for you.

Well, I ain't so sure I want it.

You don't know what it is yet.

Yeah, well, I've got a problem, see.

I don't like working for broads.

This broad could make it worth your while.

What's the job?

Just driving.

Yeah, well, you messaged your boys here, wrecked my car.

I'll buy you another one.

What about my mind?

He's alive.

What else does he want?

He's sensitive and he's very attached to me.

What would you suggest?

You give him a job.

I'll give him a piece of my action.

Okay.

It's a deal.

Wait outside.

Yeah, wait outside.

What was that all about?

Just trying to make it look authentic.

I went to a lot of trouble to get this organized.

Listen, I'm trying to keep you old man from getting suspicious.

That's all.

No one's self-intended.

I get excited.

It's in the blood.

Like when you blew your job at the hotel room?

Yeah.

You should be more careful.

I'm not a careful guy.

Hello, sir.

They brought anti-tank weapons, automatic rifles, stun grenades,

and they've been inspecting gas installations.

Now we have enough to book them on conspiracy right now.

Why don't we just go ahead and do it?

Good morning, Sergeant.

Sorry, go.

Tailon Mara, lost her.

About half an hour after she left her hotel.

What is your real concern, Sergeant?

Dempsey's only undercover to stay alive.

Now, the longer he stays on this case, the less chance he has of doing it.

He shouldn't even be on this case.

Is that the way he feels about it?

Dempsey would never take himself off the job.

No matter how dangerous it got.

Is he bearing up?

Yes.

So far.

Then it's your decision, Sergeant.

Your his control, you're in the best position to judge.

But the longer he stays there, the better chance we have.

Sure.

He's on the payroll like you asked, Leon.

Sure, sure.

Okay.

Johnny Lupino is on.

I hope you're right about him, Coltrane.

I'll take them out.

Yeah, he's just the man for the job.
