CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY
WARNER BROS.

Man: NEW YORK CITY--

SO MANY THINGS
HAVE BEEN SAID ABOUT IT,

BUT THERE'S ONLY ONE
I REALLY LIKE.

NEW YORK--

IT CAN DESTROY YOU
OR FULFILL YOU,

DEPENDING A GOOD DEAL
ON LUCK.

NO ONE SHOULD COME
TO NEW YORK

UNLESS HE'S WILLING
TO BE LUCKY,

AND I GOT LUCKY.

I HAD AN APARTMENT
DOWNTOWN,

BUT HOME WAS CITY HALL.

THAT'S WHERE IT ALL BEGAN.

THE DAY STARTED OUT
LIKE A LOT OF OTHER DAYS,

WITH SOME CEREMONIAL
FUNCTION.

THE MAYOR OF NEW YORK WAS
GIVING THE KEY TO THE CITY

TO THE GOVERNOR OF TOKYO.

Mayor: ...AND
IN THE JAPANESE TRADITION,

HE LIKED SOUP
FOR BREAKFAST--

FISH SOUP.

WELL, MY DAD,
HEARING OF THIS,

OFFERED TO PUT IT
ON THE MENU.

BUT, "NO, NO, NO, NO, NO,"
MR. HIYATAMA SAID--

WHO IS A VERY GENTLE SOUL,
BY THE WAY.

"NO. IT WOULD BE
TOO MUCH TROUBLE."

MY DAD REPLIED,

"TOO MUCH TROUBLE
IS NO CUSTOMERS."

Narrator: THE MAYOR--

AND HE WAS THE BEST MAYOR
THE CITY EVER HAD--

WAS MY BOSS,

AND I WAS HIS DEPUTY MAYOR--

HIS RIGHT-HAND MAN--
OR HIS BOY,

DEPENDING ON
WHO WAS TALKING ABOUT ME.

BUT IN BROOKLYN,
SOMETHING ELSE WAS GOING ON

THAT WAS GOING TO CHANGE
EVERYTHING.

HEY, HOW YOU DOING,
EDDIE?

IT STARTED WITH A COP--
EDDIE SANTOS--

THE TOUGHEST DETECTIVE
IN BROOKLYN NORTH.

HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO A MEETING
WITH TINO ZAPATTI,

A SMALL-TIME DRUG DEALER

WHOSE ONLY DISTINCTION
WAS THAT HE WAS NEPHEW

TO PAUL ZAPATTI,
A MAFIA BOSS.

ALL RIGHT,
THERE YOU GO.

Narrator: JAMES BONE, A CHILD
ON HIS WAY TO SCHOOL...

WATCH YOUR STEP HERE.

AND FINALLY, VINNIE ZAPATTI,
COUSIN TO TINO--

A RAT DETECTIVE EDDIE SANTOS
HAD IN HIS POCKET.

ALL SET?

LET'S GO.

Narrator: IT ALL HAPPENED

ON THE CORNER OF BROADWAY
AND MARCY IN NORTH BROOKLYN.

BOY, YOU AIN'T GOING OUT
ON NO PLAYGROUND TODAY.

PLEASE, DADDY, PLEASE.

NO. IT'S RAINING
TOO HARD.

OH, MAN.

HERE COMES OUR BOY.

GET OUT
OF THE FUCKING CAR.

YOU SAID YOU WANTED
TO FUCKING TAKE HIM IN.

I JUST WANT TO HAVE
A LITTLE TALK WITH HIM.

HEY...

YOU TURN HIM
AWAY FROM ME.

KEEP UP WITH ME, NOW.

COME ON. I THOUGHT YOU COULD
MOVE FASTER THAN THAT.

COME ON.

YO, TINO.

HEY, HOW YOU DOING?

ALL RIGHT. TELL ME,
WHAT'S GOING ON?

Vinnie: LISTEN,
I GOT SOME REALLY GOOD NEWS.

Tino: WHAT THE FUCK
IS WRONG WITH YOU, MAN?

HEY, TINO.

OH!

[SOBS]

Mayor: 2 MEN
DEDICATED TO THEIR LIVES

AND THEIR FAMILIES...

KEVIN.

BRIDGING THE CONTINENTS
OF ASIA

AND SOUTHERN EUROPE...

CAN IT WAIT?

NO, NO.
RIGHT NOW, PLEASE.

2 MEN
CROSSING 2 CONTINENTS

TO MEET IN A THIRD,

AS WE HAVE HERE TODAY--

THE GOVERNOR OF TOKYO
AND THE MAYOR OF NEW YORK.

WELCOME TO NEW YORK CITY,

THE SUSHI CAPITAL
OF THE WORLD.

WELCOME. ENJOY.

SAYONARA.

WE GOT A SERIOUS
SITUATION.

KID'S DEAD.

SO'S THE DEALER.

AND THE COP?

NOT GOOD.

WHOSE BULLET WAS IT
KILLED THE CHILD?

WE DON'T KNOW YET.

WHAT'S OUR E.T.A.?

BELLEVUE IN 10,
SIR.

HOW OLD WAS THE LITTLE--
WHAT WAS IT, A BOY?

6 YEARS OLD.

AND...

WHAT WAS OUR BUDGET
AS OF MIDNIGHT?

31.7 BILLION.

IT COSTS A LOT OF MONEY

TO HAVE OUR CHILDREN
SLAUGHTERED IN THE STREETS.

YEAH.

[CAR HONKS HORN]

HELLO,
MR. MAYOR.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

Man: COMING THROUGH.
STEP BACK, PLEASE.

STEP BACK.
COMING THROUGH.

MR. MAYOR.

HOW'S HE DOING?

HE'S JUST COME OUT
OF SURGERY.

Nurse: COMING THROUGH.

Man: GIVE THEM ROOM.

GET BACK.
ALL THE WAY, NOW.

WHERE'S THE WIDOW,
JERRY?

SHE'S NOT A WIDOW YET,
MR. DEPUTY.

GO INTRODUCE ME.

OK?

COMBAT CROSS,
MEDAL FOR MERIT,

HONORABLE MENTION,

DEPARTMENT
MEDAL OF HONOR.

ANY KIDS?

2--5 AND 3.
A BOY AND A GIRL.

WIFE'S NAME IS ELAINE--
ELAINE SANTOS.

WHICH ONE IS SHE?
DON'T POINT.

IN THE RED.
THE OTHER'S HER SISTER.

Jerry: MRS. SANTOS?

I'M JOHN PAPPAS.

I'M SO SORRY.

THANK YOU.

IF THERE'S ANYTHING
WE CAN DO...

WHATEVER...

WHICH ONE
WAS THE SHOOTER?

THEY'RE BOTH SHOOTERS,
MR. DEPUTY MAYOR.

ONE'S DEAD.
ONE'S ALMOST.

NOW, WE KNOW
THE DEALER--TINO ZAPATTI.

ZAPATTI?

HE WAS PAUL'S NEPHEW.

PUNK.
WHAT HAPPENED?

WE DON'T KNOW YET.

DETECTIVE SANTOS
WAS SIGNED OUT.

THAT, WE KNOW.

BUT HE CARRIED
NO RADIO,

WORE NO VEST.

ANY BACKUP?
ZERO.

TOTAL BREACH OF
DEPARTMENT POLICY.

WHAT WAS THE GUY DOING?

TAKING A MEETING WITH
A CONVICTED DRUG DEALER?

YOU GOT ME.
BUT IT ADDS UP

TO A DEAD KID
AND A DEAD NEPHEW

OF THE HEAD
OF THE ZAPATTI FAMILY.

HERE'S A GUY HEADED FOR
ATTICA ON A 10 TO 20,

AND HE COPS PROBATION.

PROBATION?

NO JAIL TIME?

PROBATION IS A SENTENCE IN
NEW YORK THESE DAYS, ISN'T IT?

WHICH HE SKIPS OUT ON
2 YEARS LATER.

Man: WE'VE BEEN
LOOKING FOR HIM EVER SINCE.

THE MAYOR'S GOING TO WANT
TO STEP UP FOR THE WIFE.

I WOULDN'T DO THAT
IF I WERE HIM.

AND WHO ARE YOU AGAIN?

INTERNAL AFFAIRS.

Man: LISTEN...

WE CAN BURY SANTOS,

AND IF IT TURNS OUT
HE WAS DIRTY,

WELL, GOOD COP
TURNS BAD.

HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

SURE. WE'LL GIVE HIM
A FULL DRESS FUNERAL TO BOOT.

Woman: WAS HE CONSCIOUS?

I'M GOING BACK INSIDE.

WHO IS SHE?

THAT'S ONE
OF THE LAWYERS

FOR THE DETECTIVES
ENDOWMENT ASSOCIATION.

I GUESS SHE'LL BE
REPRESENTING

EDDIE SANTOS
AND HIS FAMILY.

YEAH?
WELL,

I ALWAYS WONDERED WHEN
YOU WERE GOING TO ASK.

WELL, NOW YOU DON'T HAVE
TO WONDER ANYMORE.

STOP.

SHOCK HIM.
CLEAR.

[HEART MONITOR WHINES]

Doctor:
HE'S FLAT.

[WHISPERING]

THIS CITY TAKES CARE
OF ITS OWN.

[ELAINE SOBBING]

Kevin: SET A PRESS
CONFERENCE FOR 12:00.

MAKE SURE THE POST
TAKES THE FIRST QUESTION.

YOU KNOW WHAT THE FIRST
QUESTION'S GOING TO BE?

"WHOSE BULLET WAS IT?"

CALL SENATOR MARQUAND.

BE COOL. TELL HIM
EVERYTHING'S UNDER CONTROL,

AND OF COURSE THE MAYOR
IS ON WITH HIM TONIGHT.

I'M JUST TRYING TO STAY
AHEAD OF THE CURVE HERE.

YES.

AND, ABE, CALL LEONARD
STREET AND GET A COPY

OF TINO ZAPATTI'S
PROBATION REPORT.

WHICH ZAPATTI IS THAT?

A NEPHEW--
ONE CONVICTION.

HE GOT OFF ON PROBATION.
HE'S A PUNK.

WE'RE HEADED FOR PARK
DRIVE--DOWNTOWN IN 20.

Aide: HOW'S ABOUT
WE SWING OVER TO THE F.D.R.?

WE'LL MAKE BETTER TIME.

SIR, WHAT'S
YOUR PLEASURE?

WHERE DID THE BOY LIVE?

Aide: RAINBOW ONE,
RAINBOW TWO,

GIVE ME A READ
ON THE BOY'S APARTMENT.

Woman:
515 SOUTH FIFTH STREET.

FIFTH STREET, JUST OFF
MARCY AND BROADWAY.

OK. THAT'S WHERE
WE'RE GONNA GO.

WE'VE GOT NO ADVANCE MAN.
WE'VE GOT NO PROTECTION.

IT'S OK, KEVIN.
THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING.

I'M THE MAYOR.

Man: ALL RIGHT,
MAKE ROOM HERE, PLEASE.

Second man:
HERE YOU GO, MAYOR.

Woman: MAYOR, WE NEED
SOME HELP AROUND HERE.

Third man: WE NEED SOME
MORE POLICE ON THE STREET.

Fourth man: WHEN ARE YOU GOING
TO SEND US SOME HELP, MAN?

Fifth man: MR. MAYOR.

Second woman: GLAD
YOU'RE HERE, MR. MAYOR.

THE FATHER'S SEATED
IN THE CORNER.

YES, YES.

I'M ALL YOURS, LESLIE.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
LET'S HEAR IT. WHO'S UP?

THE POST.
MARKS OR SADLER?

SADLER.

OHH! THEN I KNOW
WHAT'S COMING.

"HAS PROBATION BECOME
A SENTENCE IN THIS TOWN?"

JUDGE STERN HAS A POWERFUL
RECORD ON THE BENCH.

HE'S SERVED 6 YEARS

AND METED OUT
THE STIFFEST PUNISHMENTS

IN THE HISTORY
OF THIS CITY.

IF THE REPORT
RECOMMENDS PROBATION,

THEN PROBATION
IT HAS TO BE.

AFTER THAT, THEY'LL START IN
ON THE MANDATORY CRAP.

GOTCHA.

Man:
PICTURE, MAYOR?

SIR, OVER HERE?
THANK YOU.

Second man: SIR?

THANK YOU FOR COMING.

THANK YOU FOR COMING.

THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. THANKS...

AHEM.

GOOD MORNING.

I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME

THE REVERENDS
WILLIAMS AND BIRCH...

YOU GOT THAT
PROBATION REPORT?

IT'S IN THE OFFICE.

HE'LL BE THERE
IN A MINUTE. LET'S GO.

AND MY DEAR FRIEND
REVEREND MILTON PARKS

OF THE FIRST CHURCH
OF HARLEM,

REVEREND CHAPMAN,
AND REVEREND MURRAY.

THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN,
FOR COMING HERE TODAY.

I KNOW IT WASN'T EASY
FOR YOU.

WELL, WHAT CAN I SAY?
HOW DO I START THIS?

UH...

THERE IS ONE THING
AS MAYOR

THAT I WILL NEVER
GET OVER...

AND THAT IS THE DEATH
OF A POLICE OFFICER.

THERE IS ONE THING IN LIFE
THAT I WILL NEVER GET OVER,

AND THAT IS THE DEATH
OF AN INNOCENT CHILD.

BUT THIS IS AN INCIDENT
THAT WILL NOT GO AWAY...

TINO ZAPATTI'S
PROBATION REPORT.

IS THAT IT?

THE WHOLE CITY,

ALL PARTS
OF THE CITY--

BUSHWICK, JAMAICA,
WASHINGTON HEIGHTS,

BROWNSVILLE,
HARLEM--

THE BODIES DROP...

THIS THING LOOKS OK.

IT'S VERY OK.

BUT, LOOK, THERE IS
A CONVICTION--

CRIMINAL POSSESSION
IN THE FOURTH DEGREE.

IN THE FOURTH DEGREE?

A 4-C.
IT'S A PROBATION OFFENSE.

IT'S PRACTICALLY
A MISDEMEANOR.

KEVIN, THERE ARE 4-Cs.
THEN THERE ARE 4-Cs.

OR SOME DARK ALLEY
IN WILLIAMSBURG.

YOU KEEP LOOKING AT THAT THING
AS IF IT WEREN'T KOSHER.

A CUT OF MEAT IS KOSHER.

A PIECE OF FISH,
SAVORY FOODS,

AND ALL KINDS
OF DAINTIES ARE KOSHER,

BUT A PROBATION REPORT
IS NOT KOSHER.

A PROBATION REPORT IS
MERELY A PROBATION REPORT.

I AM A GOOD LOUISIANA
LAPSED CATHOLIC, ABE,

SO JUST DON'T TALK TO ME
ABOUT KOSHER.

JUST GIVE IT TO ME STRAIGHT.

WHAT'S WRONG
WITH THIS REPORT?

IT'S TOO KOSHER.

TRANSLATE THAT FOR ME.

UH...

THE VIRGIN
LOOKS PREGNANT TO ME.

LOOK. YOU SEE?
THE SUPERVISOR SIGNED THIS.

SO WHAT?

THAT'S A LOT OF WEIGHT
FOR A 4-C.

SO WHAT HAPPENED

TO THE ORIGINAL LITTLE
PROBATION OFFICER?

WHERE IS HIS SIGNATURE?

Kevin: WHO IS THIS SUPERVISOR?
DO YOU KNOW HIM?

YEAH.
HIS NAME IS SCHWARTZ.

[MISPRONOUNCES] SCHWARTZ?
A LANDSMAN OF YOURS?

LANDSMAN. LANDSMAN.

STOP TRYING YOUR YIDDISH
OUT ON ME.

YOU SOUND LIKE
A SHAKESPEAREAN ACTOR

FROM A SAVANNAH POGROM.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT,
BUT DO YOU KNOW HIM?

YEAH, SURE, BUT THE TRIAL
WAS ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO.

I WAS LONG GONE
FROM THE DEPARTMENT.

[KNOCKS]

YES?

HELLO, LARRY.

ABE.

GOOD TO SEE YOU.

GOOD TO SEE YOU.

THIS IS
DEPUTY MAYOR CALHOUN.

THE FIRST DEPUTY MAYOR
TO SET FOOT ON THIS FLOOR.

WE GOT
A COMMISSIONER ONCE,

BUT IT WAS
THE WRONG FLOOR.

MAY I HAVE A SEAT?

PLEASE, SIT.

ABE, YOU'RE ALREADY
AT HOME HERE.

THANK YOU.

I THINK I KNOW
WHY YOU'RE HERE.

I'VE LOGGED 12 CALLS
ALREADY TODAY. TINO ZAPATTI?

YES.
AND YOU WANT TO KNOW

WHY I HANDLED THE CASE?

EXACTLY.

BECAUSE SOMETIMES
WE GET OVERLOADED.

AND YOU TAKE ON
THE EXTRAS.

THE EXTRA SPECIALS.

SUCH AS...

ZAPATTI FAMILY MEMBERS?

SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

LOOK, MR. DEPUTY MAYOR--

KEVIN'S GOOD ENOUGH.

ANY CASE
THAT COMES IN HERE

THAT LOOKS LIKE
IT'S CONNECTED,

I'M GONNA TAKE A VERY
SPECIAL INTEREST IN.

WHY IS THAT?

TO AVOID
MAKING MISTAKES.

YOU SURE MADE ONE
ON THIS.

I BLEW ONE, OK?

I--I DON'T MIND
ADMITTING IT,

BUT JUST LET ME
TELL YOU SOMETHING.

I'D RATHER BLOW
ONE IN A HUNDRED

THAN SEND 10 MEN AWAY
ON MANDATORIES

WHO DON'T DESERVE THEM.

YOU SOUND LIKE AN
ENLIGHTENED MAN, MR. SCHWARTZ.

AND YOU SOUND LIKE
YOU'RE FUCKING WITH ME.

YOU HAVE ANYTHING
TO ADD HERE, ABE?

THAT'S OK, LARRY.
YOU'RE DOING FINE.

EVERYBODY'S GONNA WANT TO
KNOW HOW THESE THINGS HAPPEN.

[LAUGHS]

HOW LONG HAVE YOU
BEEN ON THIS JOB?

3 YEARS.

LOOK,
THESE THINGS HAPPEN

BECAUSE
WE ARE AWASH HERE

IN CRIMINALS AND
HALF-BAKED SOCIAL WORKERS

IN A CITY
THAT DOESN'T FUNCTION

IN A WORLD THAT DOESN'T
KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG.

MR. SCHWARTZ...

LARRY.

I OWE YOU AN APOLOGY.

NO. NO APOLOGIES.

I CAME IN HERE
WITH A BIG HEAD OF STEAM,

AND PERHAPS
IT WAS INAPPROPRIATE.

LOOK, IT TAKES
MORE THAN 3 YEARS

TO GET UP TO SPEED
IN THIS DEPARTMENT.

THERE'S ONLY ONE MAN

WHO WOULD'VE MADE
A GOOD PROBATION OFFICER--

KAFKA--AND HE WASN'T
AVAILABLE.

[LAUGHS]

THANK YOU, LARRY.

HEY, GIVE ME A CALL

IF SOMETHING OPENS UP
IN THAT BIG BUILDING.

YOU KNOW,
KEEP ME IN MIND.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

HE'LL BE RIGHT
WITH YOU.

[RING]

SOUTH BROOKLYN
DEMOCRATIC CLUB.

OH, YES. YES, YES.
HOW ARE YOU?

I DON'T THINK IT MAKES
ANY DIFFERENCE WHATSOEVER.

JUST HAVE YOUR SON
STOP BY THIS EVENING.

I'LL BE HAPPY TO TAKE
CARE OF THIS PROBLEM.

GUSSIE, COME ON IN.

Gussie:
OH, HELLO, MR. ANSELMO.

THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR SEEING ME.

YOU LOOK
BEAUTIFUL.

OH, THANKS A LOT.

LET ME GET THAT.

OH, OK,
OK. COME ON.

THANKS.

IT'S MY PLEASURE.

SO, HOW CAN I
HELP YOU, GUSSIE?

THEY'RE GOING TO THROW
ME OUT, MR. ANSELMO.

WHO?

MORTY BRILL.

NO ONE'S GONNA
THROW YOU OUT, GUSSIE.

HE SAYS
I'M UNDEROCCUPIED.

CAN I HELP IT IF
MY DAUGHTER MOVES OUT?

ISN'T SHE ENTITLED
TO A LIFE OF HER OWN?

OF COURSE.
HOW IS ELAINE?

STILL WORKING
AT THE NAVY YARD?

YEAH, THANKS TO YOU.

SO, WHAT CAN YOU DO
FOR ME, MR. ANSELMO?

WELL, IT'S SIMPLE.

JUST SEE THAT MR. BRILL
OBEYS THE LAW.

YOU'RE GRANDFATHERED IN
OVER THERE.

IF HE TELLS YOU YOU'RE NOT,
JUST GIVE ME A CALL.

SEE, A CURVY LANDLORD
LIKE MORTY BRILL

IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR
WAYS AROUND RENT CONTROL,

BUT HOW WOULD
HE UNDERSTAND A LAW

THAT WAS MEANT
FOR WORKING STIFFS

LIKE YOU AND ME?

THANKS, MR. ANSELMO.

Anselmo: EXCUSE ME.

[WHISPERING] Mr. Schwartz
is right outside.

THANKS, CLARA.

Gussie:
MR. ANSELMO?

MR. ANSELMO?
YES.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME
SPEAK TO MY CLUB?

WHICH CLUB IS THAT?

TERRIBLE TILES
MAH-JONGG CLUB.

HOW MANY TILES BELONG?

112.

YOU GOT IT, SWEETHEART.

JUST TELL ME WHEN.

FANTASTIC. SO YOU'LL
COME FOR DINNER BEFORE?

WHAT ARE YOU MAKING?

I'LL MAKE A BRISKET.
IT'S YOUR FAVORITE.

I LOVE BRISKET.
GO HOME SAFE.

YEAH, WELL,
I'M TAKING A CAB, ANYWAY,

BUT THANKS AGAIN.

OK.

AW, SHIT.

[SIGHS]

HELLO, LARRY.

I GOTTA SEE YOU, FRANK.

WELL, HERE I AM.

HOW ABOUT A CUP OF COFFEE?

NO, THANKS. UM...

WE GOTTA TALK.

I'M SORRY. ARE YOU
FINISHED HERE? I...

WELL, THE BUSINESS
OF GOVERNMENT, LARRY,

IS NEVER FINISHED.

COME ON.
LET'S TAKE A WALK.

[PATS BACK]

MR. A.

HOW ARE YOU, MILTON?

* I'M AS CORNY *

* AS KANSAS IN AUGUST *

* I'M AS NORMAL *

* AS BLUEBERRY PIE *

* NO MORE A SMART LITTLE
GIRL WITH NO HEART *

Both: * I HAVE FOUND ME
A WONDERFUL GUY *

[BOTH LAUGH]

YOU KNOW, SPEAKING OF
BLUEBERRY PIES,

BRING US A COUPLE,
MILT.

UH, YOU A LA MODE?

NO, THANK YOU.
I DON'T WANT ANY PIE.

APPLE FOR HIM.

AND COFFEE, MILT.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

YOU KNOW WHAT
THE MATTER IS, FRANK.

YOU LOOK TERRIBLE.
YOU OUGHT TO TAKE A VACATION.

I DON'T WANT A VACATION.

I GOT 18 YEARS IN,
YOU KNOW?

I SAVE UP MY TIME.
I PUT IN MY HOURS.

I'M ELIGIBLE FOR PENSION
IN 6 MONTHS.

I DON'T WANT
ANY GODDAMN VACATION.

OK.

SO WHAT IS IT?

GET THE DEPUTY MAYOR
OFF MY ASS.

HA HA.
SHRIMP BOATS?

HIM. YEAH.

AND YOU COULDN'T
HANDLE HIM?

IT WAS EASY.

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
IT WAS TOO EASY.

[FOOTSTEPS]

* DON'T THROW *

* BOUQUETS AT ME *

* DON'T PLEASE *

* MY FOLKS TOO MUCH *

* DON'T LAUGH *

* AT MY JOKES TOO MUCH *

Both:
* PEOPLE WILL SAY *

* WE'RE IN LOVE *

[BOTH LAUGH]

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?

WELL, MILT AND I ARE GREAT
RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN FANS.

WHEN YOU WALK
THROUGH A STORM,

KEEP YOUR HEAD
UP HIGH, LARRY.

IT'S NOT YOUR SIGNATURE
ON THE PROBATION REPORT.

THEN WATCH YOUR MOUTH.

[LAUGHTER]

Man: THAT WAS
QUITE A RISK YOU TOOK.

THE GUY WAS WRONG.

BUT NO MAYOR--

I DON'T CARE
IF HE IS FROM NEW YORK--

TELLS OFF A CABINET
MEMBER LIKE THAT.

HE'S YOUR ENEMY
FOR LIFE.

THE SECRETARY
OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT,

THAT'S THE HAND
THAT FEEDS THE CITIES.

WELL, YOU KNOW, SENATOR,
THEY SAY A MAN'S STATURE

IS DETERMINED BY HIS
ENEMIES, NOT HIS FRIENDS.

IT ALSO GOT YOU
THE COVER OF TIME.

Woman:
THAT'S TRUE.

BUT GOING NATIONAL,
MAYOR PAPPAS?

PEOPLE MAGAZINE NEXT.

THAT STATURE THING.
WHO SAID THAT?

I BELIEVE I SAID THAT
A MINUTE AGO.

I WAS HAVING AN ACUTE ATTACK
OF SELF-IMPORTANCE.

BUT NOW IT'S ABOUT
TO COME TO AN END,

BECAUSE HERE'S THE MAN
TO CUT ME DOWN TO SIZE.

KEVIN, WE MISSED YOU.

SORRY, FOLKS. DIDN'T
MEAN TO INTERRUPT YOU.

HELLO, SENATOR.

KEVIN'S BEEN BUSY
TODAY, I'LL BET.

THIS MUST BE
MRS. MARQUAND.

IT'S BEEN QUITE A DAY
FOR YOU, HASN'T IT?

INDEED. WE DON'T WANT
ANY STRAY BULLETS

AROUND
MADISON SQUARE GARDEN.

IGNORE THE SENATOR, KEVIN.

HE LIKES TO KEEP A LITTLE
ANCHORED TO WINDWARD.

DON'T WE ALL?

BUT IN THE MEANTIME,
SHOULDN'T WE RETURN

TO THE BURNING ISSUE
OF THE DAY, THE CONVENTION?

WE'RE GONNA TURN THE CITY
UPSIDE DOWN FOR YOU, SIR.

WE'RE GONNA STAGE THE RIGHT
KIND OF CONVENTION.

WHAT KIND IS THAT?

THE KIND THAT'S GOING TO GET
THE PRESIDENT REELECTED.

WHERE YOU GOING TO GO?
SECOND CITIES LIKE CHICAGO,

ALWAYS RESONATING WITH
MEMORIES OF HUBERT IN '68?

CALIFORNIA?

STILL THE LAND OF
JERRY BROWN AND TOM HAYDEN--

THE SORT OF PLACE THAT
NOMINATES A WALTER MONDALE.

YOU COULD GO TO MIAMI,
BUT MIAMI'S CASABLANCA.

WE'LL MAKE YOU A WINNER.
WE GOT THE CITY RIGHT HERE.

YOU'RE NOT A NEW YORKER,
ARE YOU, KEVIN?

FERRIDAY, LOUISIANA--
HUEY LONG COUNTRY.

EVERY MAN A KING,
BUT NO ONE WEARS A CROWN.

HA HA!
I LOVE THIS GUY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

DON'T OVERDO IT.

[LAUGHS]

GREAT
TO SEE YOU.

GREAT TO SEE YOU.

GOOD NIGHT.

HEY, KEVIN, GIVE ME
A CALL IN THE MORNING.

I NEED SOME STUFF
FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES--

AN EDITORIAL LAUDING
OUR CHOICE OF CONVENTION CITY.

THE PRESIDENT LOVES
A GOOD TIMES EDITORIAL.

YOU GOT IT, SENATOR.
LET ME JUST ASSURE YOU--

THE VOTE'S IN, KEVIN.
WE GOT THE CONVENTION.

NOW LET THESE PEOPLE
CATCH THEIR SHUTTLE.

I'M SURE THEY'RE
RUNNING LATE.

THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR.

THANK YOU SO MUCH,
SENATOR.

MacNEIL-LEHRER,
FRIDAY NIGHT.

TINO ZAPATTI'S BULLET
KILLED THE CHILD.

IT WASN'T THE COP.

THAT'S IT?

THAT'S WHAT PASSES
FOR GOOD NEWS THESE DAYS?

WELL,
I'LL SURE TAKE IT.

AND I SAW TINO ZAPATTI'S
PROBATION REPORT--

EXEMPLARY,
BUT AN ODD THING.

WHAT?

IT'S FRONT-LOADED.

WITH WHO?

WITH SUPERVISORY
PERSONNEL,

BUT IT'S SIGNED OFF ON
BY AN HONEST JUDGE, SO...

JUDGE WALTER STERN?

YES.

THANK GOD.

I'M MEETING
FRANK ANSELMO

FOR BREAKFAST.

OH, GOOD. WHERE?

WERNER'S.

WERNER'S? THE HANGOUT
AT BOROUGH HALL?

THAT'S IT.

KEVIN, WHEN YOU GO
TO BROOKLYN,

YOU'RE
FRANK ANSELMO'S GUEST.

DON'T PISS UP HIS LEG.

JUST GET HIM OFF THIS
INFRASTRUCTURE THING.

NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.

JUST UNAFFORDABLE
RIGHT NOW.

GOOD WORK TONIGHT.

MRS. MARQUAND COULDN'T
STOP TALKING ABOUT

THE COVER
OF TIME, COULD SHE?

I THINK
SHE COLLECTS THEM.

NATIONAL INK--
THE MOTHER'S MILK OF POLITICS.

SO, DID I HEAR RIGHT,
OR DID WE GET THE CONVENTION?

IT'S NOT SIGNED
AND SEALED,

BUT IT IS DELIVERED,
AND YOU WERE THE CLOSER.

WELL, I THOUGHT I HAD THEM
WITH THAT SECOND CITY STUFF.

OF COURSE YOU DID.
YOU KNOW WHY?

IT BELONGS HERE.

NEW YORK CITY--
THIS IS THE PLACE.

[DOOR OPENS]

EXCUSE ME.

THE STORY'S COMING UP
ON THE 10:00 NEWS.

A LITTLE SLOW.

...EARLIER TODAY
TOOK THE LIFE

OF AN INNOCENT
6-YEAR-OLD BOY

WHO WAS ON HIS WAY
TO SCHOOL

DURING AN APPARENT
POLICE ACTION.

Second anchor: POLICE
DETECTIVE EDDIE SANTOS...

THEY'RE ALL OVER IT
LIKE A CHEAP SUIT.

IT'S GONNA STICK
TO US LIKE ONE, TOO.

Anchor: 6-YEAR-OLD
JAMES BONE

ON HIS WAY TO SCHOOL.

BALLISTICS FROM
THE POLICE LAB NOW CONFIRM

THE WAYWARD BULLET
THAT KILLED THE YOUNG BOY

CAME FROM ZAPATTI'S GUN.

MEANWHILE,
POLICE HERE AT THE SCENE

CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE.

HERE YOU ARE, MR. ZAPATTI.

MICHAEL.

FIND VINNIE.

I WANT TO HAVE
A LITTLE TALK WITH HIM.

[ALARM BEEPS]

[ALARM STOPS]

Anchor: YESTERDAY,
ON THE CORNER OF BROADWAY

AND MARCY STREET,

GUNFIRE SUDDENLY BROKE OUT,

CLAIMING 6-YEAR-OLD
JAMES BONE,

ALONG WITH 21-YEAR-OLD
TINO ZAPATTI,

A CONVICTED FELON
ON PROBATION,

AND A 32-YEAR-OLD
POLICE DETECTIVE,

EDDIE SANTOS.

THE POLICE COMMISSIONER
HAS DISCLOSED

THAT AN INVESTIGATION
IS UNDER WAY

INTO DETECTIVE SANTOS'
ACTIVITIES.

QUESTION--
WHAT WAS SANTOS DOING

WITH A CONVICTED
DRUG DEALER

WANTED FOR PROBATION
VIOLATIONS?

NOW TURNING
TO NEW YORK'S WEATHER...

GOOD MORNING.

Man on TV: ...WILL RAISE
SERIOUS QUESTIONS

OF CORRUPTION
IN THE COURTS.

STERN GAVE TINO ZAPATTI,
A DRUG DEALER,

PROBATION INSTEAD OF
SENDING HIM TO PRISON,

AND THE QUESTION
EVERYONE IS ASKING,

BECAUSE OF THIS UNUSUAL
DISPOSITION,

IS WHY DID THE JUDGE
DO THAT?

THERE ARE OTHER
CITY OFFICIALS

WHO ARE BEING
INTERROGATED.

HELLO.

HELLO.

GOOD MORNING, MRS. SANTOS.

I'M MARYBETH COGAN.
WE MET AT THE HOSPITAL.

YEAH. HELLO.

AND THAT'S
RANDY AND MARIA THERE?

YEAH.

THESE ARE MY KIDS.

Woman: MS. COGAN?

PLEASE.

YOU SIT DOWN.

I'M SORRY TO HAVE
TO TALK TO YOU HERE.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

YOU HEAR FROM ANYONE
IN THE DEPARTMENT TODAY?

A COUPLE OF THE GUYS.

YEAH?
WHAT DID THEY SAY?

I CALLED TO PICK UP HIS
THINGS FROM THE PRECINCT.

THEY TOLD ME
HIS LOCKER WAS SEALED.

BUT THE CAPTAIN
CAME TO SEE ME.

HE WAS VERY NICE.

W-WHAT CAPTAIN?

HOMICIDE SOUTH.

THAT'S EDDIE'S COMMANDER.

HE'S REQUIRED
TO PAY A CALL ON THE WIDOW.

IS ANYTHING WRONG?

DON'T TALK TO ANYONE WITHOUT
CHECKING WITH ME FIRST.

OK?

OK.

A SLIGHT
EXAGGERATION.

WE'RE IN
THE WRONG BUSINESS.

HEY, YOU GET LOST, KID?

SOMEWHERE THERE'S A KEY
TO DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN,

BUT I SURE DON'T HAVE IT.

MURRAY, LENNY,
YOU KNOW KEVIN.

KEVIN, THIS IS DAN.

KEVIN CALHOUN.
HOW YOU DOING?

TEX, SIT DOWN.
TAKE A LOAD OFF YOUR FEET.

LOUISIANA, MURRAY,
FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME.

HEY, WHAT'S THE MATTER?
YOU CAN'T TAKE A JOKE?

JIMMY.
WHAT'LL YOU HAVE?

I'LL HAVE SOME OATMEAL
WITH SKIM MILK,

SLICED BANANAS, A LITTLE
BROWN SUGAR, PLEASE.

SO, WHAT'S NEW, KEVIN?

I'LL GIVE YOU
THE HEADLINES.

STANDARD & POOR IS GOING TO
LOWER THE CITY'S CREDIT RATING.

WE'RE GOING TO CLOSE
2 FIREHOUSES IN THE BRONX.

RESULTS--150 DEMONSTRATORS
IN FRONT OF CITY HALL.

THE DEPUTY
PARK COMMISSIONER HAS QUIT

TO RUN
THE SAN FRANCISCO BALLET,

AND THE STOCK EXCHANGE INSISTS
THEY'RE LEAVING TOWN,

PLUS A ZILLION OTHER
LITTLE RANCID GOODIES.

PLUS A KID GOT SHOT.

Murray:
BY ANOTHER DRUG DEALER.

AND A COP.
YEAH.

SO NO WONDER THE DEPUTY
MAYOR'S JOINING US

IN BROOKLYN TODAY.

WELL, BUT
HE'S VERY WELCOME.

ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE,

WHERE ARE THEY REMOVING TO,
KEVIN, MY BOY?

WHITE PLAINS,
THEY MIGHT.

THEY'VE BEEN MUTTERING
THAT FOR YEARS.

ONE OF THESE DAYS,

THEY'RE GONNA
STOP MUTTERING AND GO.

THAT'S WHY WE NEED CITY LAND
FOR BANK EXCHANGE.

NO ARGUMENT,
LENNY.

AND A SUBWAY STOP
AND AN OFF-RAMP

FROM THE BROOKLYN-QUEENS
EXPRESSWAY.

THE CITY'S $25 BILLION
IN DEBT, FRANK.

WE'RE IN NO POSITION
TO BUILD SUBWAY STOPS

AND OFF-RAMPS.
HA.

3,000 WORKERS,
YOU DON'T EVEN WANT

TO BUILD THEM
A SUBWAY STOP?

WHAT'S YOUR INTEREST
IN THIS, LENNY?

DID YOU HAPPEN TO BUY
A FEW OPTIONS

AROUND THE CITY
PROPERTY?

[LAUGHS]

OF COURSE HE DID,

AND SO DID EVERY OTHER
DEVELOPER IN TOWN.

NOT WITHSTANDING THAT,
MR. DEPUTY MAYOR,

IF YOU DON'T FIND A WAY TO
TRANSPORT THEIR EMPLOYEES,

BANK EXCHANGE
IS GONNA DUMP THIS DEAL

AND FORGET ABOUT NEW YORK

AND PUT UP
THEIR 60-STORY BUILDING

IN NEW JERSEY
INSTEAD OF BROOKLYN.

SO BE IT.

THE MAYOR LOVES
BANK EXCHANGE, FRANK,

BUT HE CAN'T AFFORD
INFRASTRUCTURE.

YOU KNOW,
FOR A GOOD OLD BOY,

YOU'RE SURE FLYING IN
THE FACE OF REAL POLITICS.

SUBWAYS GET PEOPLE TO JOBS.

JOBS MEAN VOTES.

I THOUGHT JOHN PAPPAS
LIKED VOTES.

HE LOVES VOTES,
FRANK...

AH.

BUT NO INFRASTRUCTURE,

UNLESS THE CITY
APPROVES OF THE IDEA

OF A SUBWAY STATION
AND AN OFF-RAMP

IT CAN'T PAY FOR IT.

[DROPS SILVERWARE]

WHERE YOU GOING?

I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT
IN MANHATTAN.

THIS MEETING'S OVER?

I HEARD YOU SAY NO.

CAN I OFFER YOU A RIDE?

NO, THANKS.

I'D MAKE IT QUICKER
ON THE TRAIN.

Man: HERE HE COMES.
JUDGE STERN!

Woman:
JUDGE STERN!

[REPORTERS CHATTERING]

Man: OVER HERE, SIR.

WHAT DID YOU
GIVE TINO ZAPATTI

PROBATION FOR,
YOUR HONOR?

WHY DID YOU GO SOFT
ON THE DRUG CHARGE?

IS PROBATION A SENTENCE
IN THIS TOWN, JUDGE?

Man: YOUR HONOR, THEY'RE
BURYING LITTLE JAMES BONE.

ARE YOU GOING
TO THE FUNERAL?

Second man:
OVER HERE, JUDGE STERN.

COULD WE GET A STATEMENT
FROM YOU, PLEASE?

GET ME THE FILE
ON TINO ZAPATTI.

HOW ARE YOU?

YOU, TOO.
HI.

MR. DEPUTY MAYOR.

I'M MARYBETH COGAN.

"DETECTIVES ENDOWMENT
ASSOCIATION,

LEGAL AFFAIRS
CO-COUNSEL."

VERY NICE CARD.

I REPRESENT DETECTIVE
EDDIE SANTOS,

AND YOU'RE MUDDYING
MY CLIENT'S NAME.

TAKE UP THE MATTER
WITH CORPORATION COUNSEL.

WHAT, AND GET IT BURIED?
NO, THANK YOU.

AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO BE
THE PIPELINE TO THE MAYOR?

YOU SHOULD TELL HIM SOMEBODY'S
TAKING HIM UP THE WRONG STREET.

THIS IS ALL
VERY INTERESTING.

MAYBE WE COULD EXPLORE
IT IN MORE DETAIL,

MAYBE OVER SOME COFFEE
OR SOMETHING.

I'M TALKING ABOUT
A HERO DETECTIVE

AND HIS WIDOW'S PENSION.

WHY DON'T YOU WAIT
IN MY OFFICE.

I WON'T BE
BUT A FEW MINUTES.

NO, I DON'T THINK SO.
YOU HAVE MY CARD.

I'LL EXPECT TO HEAR FROM YOU
IN THE MORNING.

NO, NO, NO, NO. WRONG.

NOTHING'S GONNA GO AWAY

UNLESS YOU
DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

THIS IS A CRISIS
THAT COULD DERAIL US--

THE WAY WILLIE HORTON
SUNK DUKAKIS.

TINO ZAPATTI
CAN SINK US.

[DOOR OPENS]

GOOD AFTERNOON.
WHERE YOU BEEN?

MY BROOKLYN MEETING.

OH. HOW'D IT GO?

I THINK I JUST PISSED UP
FRANK ANSELMO'S LEG.

AND?

IT FELT GOOD.

OK, LESLIE.

RIGHT. TOMORROW'S
TIMES, POST, AND NEWS

ARE ALL KEEPING THE SHOOTING
AT BROADWAY AND MARCY

ON THE FRONT PAGE.

WHAT'D YOU EXPECT?

NOTHING SHORT
OF A TRIPLE AX MURDER

IS GONNA TAKE IT OFF.

LET'S JUST KEEP FEEDING
THE PRESS MORNING AND NIGHT.

EMPHASIZE
THE ADMINISTRATION'S

TOUGH STAND ON CRIME.

WE HAD A 20% DROP

IN HOMICIDES
AND STREET CRIME

LAST YEAR ALONE.

ALSO, STERN'S RECORD--
HARD-LINE.

GOOD, KEVIN.
CORPORATION COUNSEL?

WELL, WE'VE COMMISSIONED
A COMPARATIVE STUDY

THAT WILL PROVE
THAT THIS CITY

HAS THE TOUGHEST PROBATION
GUIDELINES IN THE COUNTRY.

EXCELLENT. KEVIN, GET
COMMUNITY AFFAIRS INVOLVED.

TELL PARKS CLEAN UP
THEIR PLAYGROUNDS.

HOVER, NUDGE,
SHOW WE CARE,

AND THEN WE GOT TO DO
SOMETHING CONCRETE--

SOMETHING BIG,
SOMETHING IMPORTANT,

SOMETHING THAT MEANS JOBS.

THAT MEANS BUILDING
BANK EXCHANGE.

I'M NOT GONNA LET
THESE SHOOTINGS INTERFERE

WITH MY PROGRAM
FOR THE CITY.

LESLIE,
I'M GOING TO SPEAK

AT THE LITTLE BOY'S
FUNERAL--

JAMES BONE'S FUNERAL.

I THINK THAT'S A BLUEPRINT
FOR TROUBLE, SIR.

I DON'T CARE.

IT'S THE RIGHT THING
TO DO. I'M GONNA DO IT.

I DON'T THINK YOU'LL BE
WELCOME THERE, MR. MAYOR.

WELL, THEY GOT ME ANYWAY.
COME ON. LET'S GO TO WORK.

COME ON.
ALL RIGHT.

KEVIN, I NEED YOU.

SO, WHAT HAPPENED?

FRANK ANSELMO AND
HIS REAL-ESTATE CRONIES

IS WHAT HAPPENED.

THEY WANT THE SUBWAY STOP

TO INCREASE THE VALUE
OF THEIR LAND

ON THE CITY PROPERTY.

THE PROPERTY
AROUND BANK EXCHANGE?

YEAH.

AND?

ANSELMO SAID
NO SUBWAY STOP,

NO BANK EXCHANGE.

AND YOU SAID?

OK.

I THOUGHT WE COULD
KEEP ANSELMO

ON THE BACK BURNER,

BUT WE GOTTA HAVE
BANK EXCHANGE.

WE NEED THOSE JOBS.

WE NEED THAT MONEY GOING
INTO THE COMMUNITY.

I UNDERSTAND.

GIVEN THE SITUATION
OF BROADWAY AND MARCY,

IT'S POLITICALLY EXPEDIENT.

OH, TO HELL WITH
POLITICALLY EXPEDIENT.

I'M TALKING ABOUT
A 60-STORY BUILDING

THAT'S GOING TO EMPLOY
3,000 PEOPLE.

IT'S GOING TO PUT
FOOD ON THE TABLE,

ROOF OVERHEAD.
THAT'S WHAT COUNTS.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ABOUT.
THAT'S BANK EXCHANGE.

THAT'S ALL IT IS.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID WE CAN'T
AFFORD A SUBWAY STOP.

THAT'S GONNA TAKE
POLITICS.

MORE THAN ONE WAY
TO SKIN A CAT.

NOW GET IN THERE, KEEP
THAT STAFF FIRED UP.

YOU'RE THE BOSS.

KEVIN, WHAT ARE YOU
DOING TONIGHT?

HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT IT.

YOU EVER SEE THE PLAY
CAROUSEL?

THE MUSICAL?

YOU SERIOUS?

A LITTLE BIT
BEFORE MY TIME.

IT'S GOOD.
YOU'RE GONNA LOVE IT.

FRANK ANSELMO'S
GONNA BE THERE.

I'M FREE.

* BUT SOMEHOW I CAN SEE *

* JUST EXACTLY *

* HOW I'D BE *

* IF I LOVED YOU *

* TIME AND AGAIN
I WILL TRY TO SAY *

* ALL I'D WANT YOU *

* TO KNOW *

* IF I LOVED YOU *

* WORDS WOULDN'T COME
IN AN EASY WAY... *

GEORGE.

FRANK ANSELMO'S
SITTING IN THERE.

TELL HIM TO COME UP.

I WANT TO SEE HIM RIGHT NOW
IN THE LOBBY, OK?

* LONGING TO TELL YOU *

* BUT AFRAID AND SHY *

* I'VE LET
MY GOLDEN CHANCES *

* PASS ME... *

JUST LISTEN TO ME
FOR A MINUTE.

THANK YOU.

WAIT. LET ME
GET BACK TO YOU, OK?

WE'RE MISSING
THE BEST PART.

WELL, YOU KNOW IT
BY HEART, ANYWAY.

I SAW YOU
LIP-SYNCHING WITH IT.

WELL, LUCKY I DO.

I COULDN'T HEAR
ALL THE WORDS.

I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW
IF IT'S MY OLD EARS

OR THE SUBWAY
RUNNING UNDERNEATH.

DID YOU LIKE
THE BILLY BIGELOW?

HE'S GOOD.
UH, GOOD VOICE.

YEAH.

WHAT'D YOU THINK
OF THE JULIE JORDAN?

GOOD ACT. NO VOICE.

MY NETTIE
COULD SING BETTER.

WE MET 25 YEARS AGO
WESTBURY MUSIC THING.

I HEARD ABOUT THAT.
YEAH?

SPEAKING OF
PERFORMANCES, FRANK,

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR
ABOUT ANOTHER ONE

LIKE THAT ONE
YOU GAVE THIS MORNING.

YOUR BOY EMBARRASSED ME.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
TO LIVE WITH IT.

WHY?

BECAUSE HE'S MY BOY.

OHH. IS THAT IT?

THERE'S OIL UNDER
THAT VACANT LOT, FRANK.

JOBS.

YOU DON'T NEED
TO POLITIC ME.

I RUN KINGS COUNTY.

JOBS FOR PEOPLE
OF THIS CITY, FRANK,

NOT LEASES FOR LENNY LASKER,
MURRAY SAFIRE,

AND ALL YOUR GREEDY PALS.

WHAT'S HAPPENED
TO YOU, JOHN, HUH?

JUST BECAUSE THIS KID THINKS
HE CAN ELECT YOU PRESIDENT,

YOU'RE GONNA FORGET
WHO GOT YOU HERE?

I DON'T FORGET ANYTHING.
YOU'RE DEVELOPING

A SHORT MEMORY, FRANK,
OR A VERY SELECTIVE ONE.

YOU WANT ME
TO REFRESH IT FOR YOU?

I'M SORRY, JOHN.

FRANK, HERE IT IS...

THE OFF-RAMP
COSTS ME 5 MILLION.

ANOTHER 35 MILLION
FOR THE SUBWAY STOP.

NOW, YOU'RE GONNA GET
3 1/2 FROM ME.

THE REST,
I GOTTA GO BEG ALBANY.

NOW, I GOT BETTER THINGS
TO BEG FOR FROM ALBANY.

I GOT A SOLUTION.

HOW ABOUT A SPUR
OFF THE--

A SPUR?
WHAT, ARE YOU CRAZY?

A SPUR IS 120 MILLION
A TRACK MILE.

BANK EXCHANGE
IS GOOD FOR THE POOR.

IT'S GOOD
FOR THE JOBLESS.

IT'S GOOD FOR
THE WHOLE GODDAMN CITY.

AS FOR SUBWAY STOPS,

INFRASTRUCTURE,
OFF-RAMPS--

WE CAN'T AFFORD IT.

WELL, THEN YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
TO FORGET THE WHOLE THING.

[APPLAUSE AND CHEERING]

I LOVE THE SECOND-ACT
OPENING.

GOOD. THEN YOU'RE NOT
GONNA WANT TO MISS IT.

THIS WAS
A REAL NICE CLAMBAKE.

I'M BUILDING UP
MY I.O.U.s WITH ALBANY.

NEXT YEAR,
THE GOVERNOR'S

GONNA HAVE TO STEP UP
WITH A NEW SUBWAY STOP,

OR I WON'T SUPPORT HIM
FOR REELECTION.

AND THE OFF-RAMP?

NEXT YEAR.

IT'S ALREADY FACTORED
INTO MY BUDGET.

NEXT YEAR
IS TOO FAR AWAY.

YOU'RE ONLY A BOSS, FRANK.
I'M THE FUCKING MAYOR.

MAYORS RULE.

BANK EXCHANGE.

MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY.

WHY DO I GET
THE FEELING

YOU'RE GETTING
THE BIGGER HALF?

LET ME ASK YOU
SOMETHING.

MM-HMM.

IF I'D HAVE
OFFERED YOU LESS,

WOULD YOU HAVE BEEN
POLITE AND TAKEN IT?

OF COURSE.

WELL, THEN YOU GOT
WHAT YOU WANTED.

[SOFTLY SINGING
A REAL NICE CLAMBAKE]

OH, YEAH...

I LIKE TO KISS
THE PRETTY ONES.

OOH,
THERE'S ANOTHER ONE.

NICE TO SEE YOU.
GOOD LUCK, STEVE.

KEVIN!

YOU GOT
BANK EXCHANGE.

HOW DID YOU KNOW?

I SAW THE KISS.
I SAW THE SMILE.

HOW'D
YOU GET IT?

I DIDN'T SAY NO.

BUT THAT'S A NO. HE'S GONNA
TAKE A BATH ON THOSE LEASES.

NO, NO. JUST GONNA TAKE
HIM A LITTLE LONGER.

SOMETHING FOR HIM,
SOMETHING FOR ME.

MORE FOR YOU?

NO, NO, NO.
MORE FOR THE CITY.

HEY. CIGAR.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING,
SNEAKING A DRINK FOR SYDNEY?

I WAS.
NOW THEY'RE BOTH FOR ME.

HELPS FRANK ANSELMO
GO DOWN.

OFF-RAMP AND A SUBWAY STOP
ALREADY BUDGETED FOR.

YEAH, BUT I'M LEFT
HOLDING THE BAG.

WHAT ARE YOU
COMPLAINING ABOUT?

THE BAG'S
FULL OF CASH.

MINUS A YEAR.

YOU CAN WEATHER
THE YEAR, LENNY.

YOU CAN WEATHER 100 YEARS.

I'VE GOT PARTNERS.

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

YOU'RE MY PARTNERS.

YOU'RE HOLDING
SO MANY OPTIONS ON LAND

IN THIS TOWN THAT YOU
COULD BUY BROOKLYN.

YEAH, YOU COULD PROBABLY
BUY STATEN ISLAND, TOO.

LENNY, WOULD YOU
EXCUSE US, PLEASE?

OF COURSE.

I GOT AN APPOINTMENT,
ANYWAY.

GOOD.

THEN IT WORKS OUT
NICELY. YEAH.

HE'S SO...

YOU'RE SURE NOW
BANK EXCHANGE IS ALL SET?

WE GOT EVERYTHING
WE WANTED.

THEN YOU CAN GET
SOMETHING ELSE FOR ME.

WHAT'S THAT?

MY NAME
OUT OF THE PAPERS.

HOW?

WITH $40,000.

WHAT AM I GONNA DO
WITH $40,000?

LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.

YOU EVER HEARD OF A COP
WITH $40,000?

YEAH.

WHO WASN'T CROOKED?

NO.

A COP WITH $40,000
WOULD MAKE BIG HEADLINES.

SAY HELLO TO NETTIE FOR ME,
WILL YOU, FRANK?

I WILL, PAUL.

OK.

TAKE CARE.

ALL RIGHT.

OH, PAULIE.

HMM?

THAT'S FOR
THE DEAD COP.

[CHOIR SINGING
GOSPEL HYMNAL]

* ...BOOK IS OPEN *

* WHAT THEN? *

* WHAT THEN? *

* WHAT THEN? *

* AND THE WORLD *

* THAT REJECTED *

* ITS SAVIOR *

* WILL HAVE... *

REVEREND CHAPMAN
WILL INTRODUCE ME?

WITH ONE SENTENCE.

AND THEN WHAT?

WE GET OUT OF HERE.

AND WHICH WAY IS THAT?

SIDE DOOR.

NO, NO. WE'RE GOING
OUT THE FRONT DOOR.

IS THAT A GOOD IDEA?

INTEL'S OUT THERE NOW,

AND THEY SAY THAT PEOPLE
ARE NOT HAPPY.

* WHAT THEN? *

SISTERS...

BRETHREN...

THE MAYOR OF THE CITY
OF NEW YORK,

THE HONORABLE JOHN PAPPAS.

THANK YOU, REVEREND.

I WAS WARNED
NOT TO COME HERE.

I WAS WARNED.

THEY WARNED ME...

DON'T STAND
BEHIND THAT COFFIN.

BUT WHY SHOULD I HEED
SUCH A WARNING...

WHEN A HEARTBEAT
IS SILENT...

AND A CHILD LIES DEAD?

DON'T STAND
BEHIND THIS COFFIN.

THAT BOY WAS AS PURE
AND AS INNOCENT

AS THE DRIVEN SNOW.

BUT I MUST STAND HERE,

BECAUSE I HAVE NOT GIVEN YOU
WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE.

UNTIL WE CAN WALK ABROAD
AND RECREATE OURSELVES,

UNTIL WE CAN STROLL ALONG
THE STREETS LIKE BOULEVARDS,

CONGREGATE IN PARKS

FREE FROM FEAR,

OUR FAMILIES MINGLING,

OUR CHILDREN LAUGHING,
OUR HEARTS JOINED,

UNTIL THAT DAY,
WE HAVE NO CITY.

YOU CAN LABEL ME A FAILURE
UNTIL THAT DAY.

THE FIRST AND PERHAPS
ONLY GREAT MAYOR

WAS GREEK.

HE WAS
PERICLES OF ATHENS,

AND HE LIVED
SOME 2,500 YEARS AGO,

AND HE SAID...

"ALL THINGS GOOD
OF THIS EARTH

FLOW INTO THE CITY..."

AMEN.
AMEN.

"BECAUSE
OF THE CITY'S GREATNESS."

WELL, WE WERE GREAT ONCE.

CAN WE NOT BE GREAT AGAIN?

YES, WE CAN.
YES.

NOW, I PUT THAT QUESTION
TO JAMES BONE,

AND THERE'S ONLY SILENCE.

YET...

COULD NOT SOMETHING PASS
FROM THIS SWEET YOUTH TO ME?

COULD HE NOT EMPOWER ME

TO FIND IN MYSELF

THE STRENGTH...

TO HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE,

TO SUMMON UP THE COURAGE

TO ACCOMPLISH THIS SEEMINGLY
INSURMOUNTABLE TASK

OF MAKING A CITY LIVABLE?

JUST LIVABLE.

YES.
YES.

THERE WAS A PALACE

THAT WAS A CITY.

IT WAS A PALACE!

IT WAS A PALACE,

AND IT CAN BE
A PALACE AGAIN!

A PALACE IN WHICH
THERE IS NO KING OR QUEEN

OR DUKES OR EARLS
OR PRINCES,

BUT SUBJECTS ALL,

SUBJECTS BEHOLDEN
TO EACH OTHER

TO MAKE
A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE.

IS THAT
TOO MUCH TO ASK?

NO!
NO!

ARE WE ASKING TOO MUCH
FROM THAT?

IS IT BEYOND
OUR REACH?

NO!
NO!

BECAUSE IF IT IS,

THEN WE ARE NOTHING
BUT SHEEP

BEING HERDED
TO THE FINAL SLAUGHTERHOUSE!

I WILL NOT GO DOWN
THAT WAY!

RIGHT ON!
RIGHT!

I CHOOSE TO FIGHT BACK!

RIGHT!
AMEN!

THAT'S RIGHT!

I CHOOSE TO RISE, NOT FALL!

AMEN!
THAT'S RIGHT!

I CHOOSE TO LIVE, NOT DIE!

AND I KNOW--

I KNOW
THAT WHAT'S WITHIN ME

IS ALSO WITHIN YOU!

AMEN.
AMEN!

THAT'S WHY
I ASK YOU NOW...

TO JOIN ME.

JOIN ME.

RISE UP WITH ME.

AMEN.
AMEN.

RISE UP ON THE WINGS

OF THIS SLAIN ANGEL!

AMEN.
AMEN.

WE'LL REBUILD ON THE SOUL
OF THIS LITTLE WARRIOR.

AMEN!
AMEN!

WE WILL PICK UP
HIS STANDARD

AND RAISE IT HIGH!

YES!
AMEN!

CARRY IT FORWARD

UNTIL THIS CITY...

YOUR CITY...

OUR CITY...

HIS CITY...

IS A PALACE AGAIN!

IS A PALACE AGAIN!

I AM WITH YOU,
LITTLE JAMES.

I AM YOU.

[KISSES]

[ORGAN MUSIC BEGINS]

Rev. Chapman: THANK YOU
VERY MUCH, MR. MAYOR.

[GOSPEL CHOIR BEGINS SINGING]

GOD BLESS YOU,
MR. MAYOR.

GOD BLESS YOU, TOO.

THANK YOU
SO MUCH.

GREAT SPEECH,
MR. MAYOR.

TERRIBLE THING,
TO BURY A CHILD.

YOUR TRIP TO WASHINGTON.

THE STUFF FOR
THE CONVENTION COMMITTEE.

HISTORY OF NEW YORK CITY
FOR SENATOR MARQUAND.

RESERVATION
AT THE WILLARD HOTEL.

LINCOLN STAYED THERE,
BY THE WAY.

ENOUGH ABOUT ME.
ENOUGH ABOUT ME.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO
TONIGHT AFTER I'M GONE?

ME? I DON'T KNOW.
I HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT IT.

WELL, YOU'RE GOING TO
GET YOURSELF A GOOD MEAL,

YOU'RE GOING TO PASS UP
THAT DOUBLE-CHEESEBURGER

FROM ROY ROGERS,
WHEREVER IT IS YOU GO,

AND YOU'RE GONNA GO
TO DOMINICK'S,

AND YOU'RE GONNA
GET TAKE-OUT ON ME.

GET A DECENT MEAL THERE.

BUT BEFORE YOU GO
TO DOMINICK'S,

I WANT YOU
TO GO TO MACY'S

AND GET A CHAIR
WITH LEGS AND ARMS.

THAT APARTMENT OF YOURS...

LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING THAT
BELONGS IN A HOMELESS FILE.

OH, THEN IT'S OFF
TO CRATE & BARREL

FOR A KNIFE, A FORK,
A SPOON...

OH, AND A GLASS
WHILE YOU'RE AT IT.

THEN I'D HAVE TO GET
A DISHWASHER.

YOU DON'T HAVE
TO WASH THEM.

JUST THROW THEM OUT
AFTER YOU FINISH EATING.

IT'S ON ME.

GET A LIFE.

I'VE GOT YOURS.
IT'S QUITE ENOUGH.

YOU READ THIS?

TODAY'S
TIMES EDITORIAL.

"JUDGE OR BE JUDGED."

YES.

"...NOT WITHSTANDING

"JUDGE STERN'S
DISTINGUISHED RECORD,

"ONE MUST ASK
THE QUESTION,

WOULD HE BE
ON THE BENCH

IN HE WERE NOT
A FORMER LAW PARTNER

OF THE MAYOR'S?"

OH. I DIDN'T APPOINT HIM.

HE WAS NOMINATED
LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.

SURE, BUT EVERYBODY KNOWS

THE PARTY ARRANGES
THE NOMINATION OF JUDGES.

HEY, WHOSE SIDE
ARE YOU ON?

I'M ON YOURS,
AND I ALWAYS WILL BE,

BUT I SMELL
A HANGING PARTY.

I THINK WE SHOULD PUT
A LITTLE BIT OF DISTANCE

BETWEEN OURSELVES
AND WALTER STERN.

DISTANCE IS SHIT.

DISTANCE.

DISTANCE IS SOMETHING
YOU DO TO YOUR ENEMIES.

IT'S A THING OF THE NINETIES
TO MAKE FRIENDS EXTINCT.

DISTANCE IS THE ABSENCE
OF MENSCHKEIT.

TRANSLATE THAT FOR ME.

YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT MENSCHKEIT MEANS?

NO, I DON'T.

MENSCHKEIT.

YOU KNOW,
SOMETHING BETWEEN MEN.

IT'S ABOUT HONOR,
CHARACTER.

UNTRANSLATABLE.

THAT'S WHY
IT'S YIDDISH.

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU'D
TAKEN UP THE LANGUAGE.

ABE LAID IT ON ME.

ABE.

ABE'S A GOOD MAN.

YOU'RE A GOOD MAN,
PAPPY.

UNDERNEATH
THAT LOUISIANA CANE SYRUP,

PLAIN RED DIRT.

NOT ALL THAT DIFFERENT
FROM THE PAVEMENTS OF ASTORIA

WHERE I'M FROM.

YOU AND ME...

WE'RE STICKING BY
JUDGE WALTER STERN.

[BAGPIPES PLAYING
AMAZING GRACE]

MAN, THOU ART DUST,

AND TO DUST...

THOU SHALT RETURN.

MRS. SANTOS, IF THERE'S
ANYTHING I CAN DO,

PLEASE FEEL FREE
TO CALL.

THANKS FOR THE WORDS.

IT'S THE LEAST
WE CAN DO.

GOOD MORNING.
WHERE'S THE MAYOR?

HE HAD TO GO TO WASHINGTON

THIS MORNING
ON CONVENTION BUSINESS.

A DETECTIVE KILLED
IN THE LINE OF DUTY

RATES AN INSPECTOR'S
FUNERAL,

AND THAT INCLUDES
THE MAYOR.

LET ME ASSURE YOU

THE MAYOR'S ABSENCE
IN NO WAY DIMINISHES

HIS CONCERN FOR MRS. SANTOS
AND HER CHILDREN.

WHERE DO THEY GET THAT STUFF
FROM IN THE NEWSPAPERS?

AT SCHOOL,

THEY TELL MY LITTLE GIRL
HER DADDY WAS A DRUG DEALER.

I'M SO SORRY. WE'LL GET
OUR PRESS PEOPLE RIGHT ON IT.

NEVER MIND
THE NEWSPAPERS.

WHAT ABOUT
INTERNAL AFFAIRS?

WHAT ARE THOSE CLOWNS
OUT THERE DOING?

[HONK HONK]

WHERE YOU GOING?

THE CITY.

I THOUGHT
WE WERE IN THE CITY.

NOT IF YOU'RE
FROM QUEENS.

LET'S START OVER.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

MANHATTAN.

HOP IN.

GO FUCK YOURSELF.

NOT TO BE
DISRESPECTFUL,

BUT YOU REALIZE

THE TRANSPORTATION
DEPARTMENT OF SAINT ANNE'S

WASN'T PREPARED
FOR 1,000 PEOPLE.

999!

WE WERE EXPECTING
THE MAYOR.

AND YOU'RE JUST GONNA WAIT UNDER
THAT PLASTIC AWNING FOR AN HOUR

AND THEN RIDE A QUEENS BUS

AND THEN SLEP ON A SUBWAY
TO MANHATTAN.

SCHLEP!

SCHLEP, NOT SLEP.
SCHLEP.

SCHLEP.

GET THE GUMBO
OUT OF YOUR YIDDISH.

HOW DO YOU FEEL
ABOUT THE L.I.E.?

I HATE THE L.I.E.
TAKE THE GRAND CENTRAL.

CATCH IT
AT ASTORIA BOULEVARD.

GO AHEAD.
I'LL SHOW YOU.

EDDIE SANTOS
WAS A GOOD COP.

YOU'RE DOING
A VILE THING.

IT'S WRONG.

IT'S WRONG TO BLAME
A DEAD COP.

IT'S WRONG TO STEAL
A WIDOW'S RIGHTS. IT'S WRONG.

YOU KEEP SAYING THAT.
NOBODY'S DOING ANYTHING.

YOU'VE GOT ALL THE ANSWERS,
DON'T YOU?

DON'T EVEN HAVE
THE QUESTIONS YET.

WELL, I GOT A QUESTION
FOR YOU.

YEAH?

YOU HUNGRY?

YEAH.

SWING BY THAT DINER UP THERE,
THE NORTH STAR.

BEST PHILLY STEAK SANDWICHES
IN NEW YORK CITY.

OR DO YOU CALL THEM
PHILADELPHIA STEAK SANDWICHES?

NOW, WHO WE GONNA MEET
IN THIS DINER?

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

YOU SURFACE IN FRONT
OF MY CAR AT THE CEMETERY,

YOU SHOW JUST ENOUGH LEG
SO I'D STOP,

AND THE GRAND
CENTRAL PARKWAY

IS THE LONG WAY AROUND.

WHO WE GONNA MEET?

ALBERT HOLLY.

HE WAS EDDIE SANTOS' PARTNER
2 YEARS AGO

WHEN TINO ZAPATTI
GOT PROBATION.

THANK YOU.

Holly: WHEN EDDIE
GOT AHOLD OF SOMETHING,

HE WOULDN'T LET GO.

EDDIE SANTOS
WAS A PIT BULL.

PIT BULL'S ARE UGLY,
BUT THEY'RE NOT STUPID.

WHAT WAS HE DOING
WITHOUT A BACKUP?

WASN'T THE FIRST TIME
HE'D TAKEN TINO DOWN.

ONLY HE'D NEVER HAD
A PROBLEM WITH HIM BEFORE.

SOMEHOW...

TINO MUST'VE
GOT THE DROP ON HIM.

IT HAPPENS.

WHY DIDN'T SANTOS
LET ANYBODY ELSE KNOW

HE WAS GOING UP THERE?

BECAUSE
IT WAS HIS COLLAR.

HE MADE THAT CASE
AGAINST TINO.

THEN THE JUDGE
WENT SOUTH.

THERE IS NO WAY

TINO ZAPATTI COULD'VE
WALKED 2 YEARS AGO UNLESS...

UNLESS INTERESTED PARTIES

HAD THE JUDGE
IN THEIR POCKET.

WALTER STERN IS A JURIST
OF NATIONAL REPUTATION.

I DON'T CARE IF HE'S
OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

SOMEBODY GOT TO HIM.

Lawyer: AND BASED
ON THAT ONE INTERVIEW...

YOU WERE ABLE
TO COME THE CONCLUSION

STATED IN YOUR TESTIMONY?

Man: THAT AND
THE V.A. RECORDS. YES.

Lawyer: IS IT UNUSUAL...

WOULD YOU MIND PASSING
THIS ON TO THE JUDGE?

THANKS.

Lawyer: ...BASED ON
ONLY ONE INTERVIEW?

Man: THE DEFENDANT HAS

A LENGTHY DOCUMENTED
CASE HIST--

Lawyer: PLEASE
ANSWER THE QUESTION.

Man: WOULD YOU RESTATE
THE QUESTION?

ALL RIGHT.

BASED ON
THAT ONE INTERVIEW,

YOU WERE ABLE TO COME TO--

WHERE ARE YOU GOING
WITH THIS, MR. McKENNA?

YOUR HONOR,

THE WITNESS INTERPRETS

THE DEFENDANT
V.A. RECORD ONE WAY.

OUR PSYCHOLOGIST
INTERPRETS IT ANOTHER.

AND ANOTHER AND ANOTHER
UNTIL THE END OF TIME.

SO MUCH FOR EXPERT WITNESSES.

LET'S TAKE A BREAK.

2:30 ALL RIGHT
FOR EVERYBODY?

AH, MR. CALHOUN.

I SEE YOU'VE ALREADY MET
PETER RAGAN, MY LAW CLERK.

THIS YOUNG MAN HAS WRITTEN
SOME OF MY BEST OPINIONS.

HE APPEARED BEFORE ME

FIRST TIME I PRESIDED
OVER THE MOOT COURT AT YALE.

I'D SAY PETER AND I
ARE JOINED AT THE HIP.

THANKS, PETER.

PLEASE, HAVE A SEAT.

THANK YOU FOR SEEING ME,
JUDGE STERN.

AND HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

TINO ZAPATTI.

WHAT ABOUT HIM?

HOW DID TINO ZAPATTI
GET OFFERED PROBATION?

MR. CALHOUN...

I CAN ONLY SENTENCE

IN ACCORDANCE
WITH A CONVICTION.

MR. ZAPATTI WAS CONVICTED

OF A CRIMINAL POSSESSION
IN THE FOURTH DEGREE.

THEY FOUND A KILO
IN HIS CAR.

IS IT YOUR INTENTION
TO TRY THE CASE AGAIN?

NO, NOT AT ALL, SIR,
BUT I READ THE RAP SHEET.

MR. CALHOUN,

I AM CERTIFIED
IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK

AS A SUPREME COURT JUDGE,

AND YOU'RE SITTING HERE
REARGUING A 2-YEAR-OLD CASE.

YOU'RE OUT OF LINE, SIR,

AND I'M GOING TO SO INFORM
THE MAYOR.

I'M HERE ON
THE MAYOR'S BEHALF.

YOU THINK I'VE SLEPT
THE LAST 2 NIGHTS?

DON'T YOU REALIZE
I KNOW WHAT A MISTAKE I MADE?

THAT'S IT.

SATISFIED?

NO BASEMENT
OR ANYTHING?

YOU SAW IT.
THE RUMPUS ROOM.

THE KNOTTY PINE
WITH THE POOL TABLE?

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT,
CAPTAIN.

MRS. SANTOS,
I'M ONLY DOING MY JOB.

I'M REALLY VERY SORRY
ABOUT THIS.

OH, SORRY, CRAP!

YOU'RE SNOOPING AROUND
EDDIE'S HOUSE LIKE A NAZI.

PLEASE.
YOU KNOW THIS IS

THE LAST THING
I WANTED TO DO.

THEN WHY DON'T YOU GET THE HELL
OUT OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS

AND GET YOURSELF
AN HONEST JOB?

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

HELLO.

YEAH.

MARYBETH.

YEAH, 2-BARS HAS BEEN
IN HERE ALL MORNING.

HE WENT OVER THE PLACE
FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.

YEAH.

LOOK, YOU GOTTA DO SOMETHING
ABOUT EDDIE'S PENSION.

THEY'RE GONNA TRY
AND REDUCE IT.

AND WHAT HAPPENED TO
THE POLICE MEMORIAL AWARD?

THE PRECINCT SAYS

IT GOES AUTOMATICALLY
TO THE NEXT OF KIN.

YEAH, WELL,
THIS PIECE OF BRASS

ISN'T HERE TO GIVE ME
ANY AWARD.

$40,000 IN CASH WAS FOUND

IN DETECTIVE SANTOS'
STRONGBOX

HERE AT HIS SUMMER COTTAGE

ON LAKE ASHOKAN
IN ULSTER COUNTY.

EMERGENCY SERVICE UNIT WORKERS
ARE NOW CLEARING OUT...

FRANK.

YEAH, I'M UP
AT THE CABIN.

THEY FOUND
THE MONEY.

GOOD WORK.
I'M WATCHING IT NOW.

...IS HIS CONNECTION
TO THE DEATHS

OF JAMES BONE
AND TINO ZAPATTI?

WHAT WAS SANTOS DOING
WITH $40,000?

THE MAYOR UNDERSTANDS
THE IMPLICATIONS THIS MORNING

OF THE STATE TROOPERS' DISCOVERY
IN ULSTER COUNTY...

[DOORBELL RINGS]

BUT HE WOULD LIKE TO STRESS THAT
THESE ARE IMPLICATIONS ONLY.

MOREOVER, UNTIL A CONNECTION
CAN BE MADE

BETWEEN DETECTIVE SANTOS
AND THE $40,000--

Reporter: $40,000
IN A COP'S STRONGBOX?

COME ON,
YOU GOTTA ADMIT...

CAN YOU BELIEVE
THIS SHIT?

NO.

WE NEVER EVEN SET FOOT
IN THAT DUMP

AFTER EDDIE'S FATHER DIED.

IT'S FULL OF HORNETS' NESTS.

YEAH, BUSY HORNETS.

AND NEVER IN OUR LIFE
DID WE SEE $4,000 CASH,

MUCH LESS 40.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

HELLO?

Man: THERE'S ONLY 2 PEOPLE
IN THIS WHOLE WORLD

KNOW THAT'S NOT EDDIE'S MONEY--
YOU AND ME.

[WHISPERING]
Marybeth, pick up.

[TURNS VOLUME DOWN]

WHO IS THIS?

VINNIE ZAPATTI.
I CAN GET YOU OUT OF THIS.

I CAN GET YOU THE PENSION,
THE MEDALS,

EVERYTHING YOU GOT
COMING TO YOU. YOU WANT 'EM?

SURE.
SURE, I WANT 'EM.

GOOD. NOW, I LIKED EDDIE,

AND I WANNA HELP YOU,
BUT YOU GOTTA HELP ME.

WELL, WHAT'S THAT MEAN?

Vinnie: AN AIRPLANE TICKET
AND $10,000.

$10,000. FOR GOD'S SAKE,
I CAN'T--

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A LOT
OF MONEY. WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?

WHOA, WHOA.
WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?

MARYBETH COGAN,

DETECTIVE'S ENDOWMENT
ASSOCIATION.

I REPRESENT
THE SANTOS FAMILY.

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?

I'M THE ONE THAT MADE THE
MEETING FOR EDDIE WITH TINO

SO HE CAN GIVE UP WHAT
HE KNEW ABOUT THE JUDGE.

AND WHAT WAS THAT?

10,000 AND A PLANE TICKET.

I'LL GIVE YOU
THE DESTINATION LATER.

YOUR INFORMATION
IS WORTH NOTHING

UNLESS I CAN BRING
A WITNESS.

Kevin: NOW, WHICH ZAPATTI
ARE WE MEETING?

Marybeth: BIG PAULIE
HAD 2 BROTHERS.

TINO IS JOHN'S BOY.
VINNIE IS JIMMY'S.

SO VINNIE AND TINO
ARE COUSINS?

THAT'S RIGHT. COUSINS.

THEY HAVE COUSINS
IN LOUISIANA?

OH, DOWN THERE,
WE ALL COUSINS,

'CAUSE IF YOU GOT A COUSIN,
YOU GOT A VOTE.

SO THEN WHY DON'T YOU
RUN FOR OFFICE

INSTEAD OF CARRYING
THE MAYOR'S BAG?

I CONSIDER IT AN HONOR
NOT ONLY TO CARRY HIS BAG,

BUT ALSO TO FILL IT
AT NIGHT

WITH THE THINGS
I THINK THE CITY NEEDS.

OH, THE KINGMAKER.

THE MAN
BEHIND THE THRONE.

I'M BEGINNING TO SUSPECT
YOU DON'T LIKE POLITICIANS.

YOU'RE NO POLITICIAN.
POLITICIANS RUN FOR OFFICE.

YOU'RE A WALKER.

HMM.

ALL RIGHT, YOU'RE GONNA
WANT TO TAKE A RIGHT

AT THIS GAS STATION,

BECAUSE WE ARE
ALMOST THERE.

THANK YOU.

VINNIE SURE LIKES
STRANGE PLACES.

LOOKS LIKE MONDAY NIGHT
IN KEY LARGO.

HE'S IMPERSONATING MAFIA.

VINNIE ZAPATTI'S
A JOKE TO HIS UNCLE,

BUT A DANGEROUS JOKE.

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,

THEY'RE ALL
DANGEROUS JOKES.

DO ME A FAVOR AND DON'T WRITE
THESE FOLKS OFF JUST YET.

I SAID
THEY WERE DANGEROUS.

WONDER WHAT VINNIE'S DOING
IN A PLACE LIKE THIS?

WONDER WHAT WE'RE DOING
IN A PLACE LIKE THIS?

HMM. THIS IS IT.

WHERE'S OUR BOY?

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU THINK OLD VINNIE
HAD A CHANGE OF HEART?

HE'S A ZAPATTI.
HE HAS NO HEART.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

DON'T TURN AROUND.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA,
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.

MARYBETH, RIGHT?

WHO THE FUCK IS THIS?

THIS IS
THE DEPUTY MAYOR.

DEPUTY MAYOR?

OH, WHAT THE FUCK DO I
NEED YOU FOR, THEN?

DON'T GET SMART,
VINNIE.

I'M THE ONLY CHANCE
YOU'VE GOT.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO.

Kevin:
THIS A SEA RIDER?

WHAT, YOU KNOW BOATS?

YEAH. I ONCE WORKED
ON A SHRIMPER LIKE THIS.

THIS AIN'T NO SEA RIDER.
IT'S A PIECE OF SHIT.

THEY CALL IT
A SURF RIDER.

I WANTED THE SEA RIDER,

BUT MY UNCLE
WOULDN'T POP FOR IT.

YOUR UNCLE LIKE BOATS?

WHO, PAULIE?
PAULIE WOULDN'T KNOW

A CLEAVER
FROM A FUCKING CLEAT.

THAT WAS MY DREAM,
YOU KNOW?

FREE OF THE GOOMBAHS,

MAYBE RUN A CHARTER
IN THE ISLANDS.

EDDIE SANTOS WAS GONNA
HELP ME WITH THAT.

YOU AND EDDIE, HUH?
YEAH.

THAT'S
A STRANGE MARRIAGE.

HE WAS ONLY GONNA FIND ME
CLIENTS, AND THAT'S IT.

AND I'LL TELL YOU
SOMETHING ELSE,

IF I'D HAVE MET HIM
EARLIER,

I'D NEVER BE IN
THIS FUCKING MESS.

IF ONLY TINO HADN'T
WHACKED EDDIE.

YOU KNOW WHY HE WAS
THERE THAT MORNING?

SANTOS WAS NOT THERE
TO TAKE TINO DOWN.

HE WAS ONLY THERE
TO GET INFORMATION

ON THE JUDGE.
YOU UNDERSTAND?

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

I WAS THERE
THAT MORNING.

WHAT INFORMATION
ON THE JUDGE?

THAT YOU GET
WITH THE 10,000

AND A PLANE TICKET.

YOU COME UP WITH IT
BY TOMORROW.

THIS MEETING
IS ADJOURNED.

WHY DON'T YOU LET US
BRING YOU IN?

Marybeth:
WE'LL PUT YOU

IN THE WITNESS
PROTECTION PROGRAM.

NO, THANKS. I GOT MY OWN
WITNESS PROTECTION PROGRAM.

[BLOWS HORN]

[BUZZ]

GOOD MORNING.

THE SHARKS ARE
ALREADY CIRCLING.

ANOTHER ZAPATTI WASHED UP.

THEY FISHED HIM OUT OF
THE 79th STREET BOAT BASIN.

VICTIM'S HANDS WERE BOUND
IN A 3-INCH CHAIN.

SHIP'S CHANDLERY TYPE.

PRELIMINARY FORENSICS REVEAL
BLOWS FROM A BLUNT INSTRUMENT.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

I HAD ME A BUSY NIGHT.

I'M SURE YOU DID.

YOU READ THIS MORNING'S
OPERATIONS PRINTOUT?

WHAT ABOUT IT?

I WAS WITH VINNIE ZAPATTI
LAST NIGHT.

HE'S DEAD

BECAUSE OF TINO ZAPATTI'S
PROBATION REPORT.

NOW THERE'S 4 DEATHS.
THEY'RE CONNECTED.

THAT'S ALL I KNOW.
THAT MUCH I LEARNED--

AND THAT'S ALL
I WANT TO KNOW.

JUST TRYING TO CIRCLE
THE WAGONS HERE, JOHN.

CIRCLE THE WAGONS?
WHAT ARE YOU TALK--

WHO DO YOU THINK
YOU ARE?

SOME GUMSHOE
IN A DIME NOVEL,

LOOSE-CANNONING
AROUND THE CITY?

CONSORTING WITH
KNOWN MOBSTERS?

KEVIN, FOR GOD'S SAKES!
YOU'RE MY RIGHT HAND.

YOU'RE THE MAYOR'S
RIGHT HAND.

WHAT ARE YOU
FUCKING AROUND FOR?

YOU SEE THIS DESK?

THIS DESK BELONGED
TO FIORELLO La GUARDIA,

THE LITTLE FLOWER.

HE WAS ABOUT
5 FOOT TALL,

USED TO READ
THE FUNNY PAPERS

TO HIS CONSTITUENTS'
CHILDREN OVER THE RADIO

AND WAS ABOUT
THE BEST GODDAMN MAYOR

THIS CITY EVER HAD.

YOU KNOW WHAT
La GUARDIA SAID?

"WHY IS IT EVERY TIME
YOU CAN DO SOME GOOD,

THE NICE PEOPLE COME IN
AND MESS YOU UP?"

KEVIN...

BE NICE.
DON'T MESS ME UP.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

[RING]

[RING]

HELLO.

Kevin:
DID I WAKE YOU UP?

NO. NO, ARE YOU KIDDING?
I'VE BEEN UP HALF THE NIGHT

TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
HOW RAISE $10,000.

THE HOOK IS IN,
AND I'M CLOSE.

VINNIE IS EDDIE SANTOS'
PASSPORT TO AN HONORABLE DEATH--

VINNIE'S DEAD,
MURDERED.

WHAT?

VINNIE ZAPATTI'S DEAD.
HE WASHED UP

NEAR THE 79th STREET
BOAT BASIN THIS MORNING.

OH, GOD.

HEADS UP.

CALL ME WHEN YOU
GET TO YOUR OFFICE.

MM-HMM.

[HORNS HONKING]

TAXI!

BRONX.
TAKE EAST RIVER DRIVE.

NOW, LOOK...

I DON'T HAVE
A LOT OF TIME TODAY.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT. I CLEARED IT
WITH KEVIN GILLATI.

HE SAID TO TAKE ALL
THE TIME YOU NEED.

WHAT, YOU'RE
PULLING RANK ON ME?

YES.

SO YOU'RE STILL LOOKING
FOR A NEW SHOE SIZE?

I KNOW ALL THE JOKES.
CEMENT "C."

WHAT I NEED NOW
ARE THE STRAIGHT LINES.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL GIVE IT
TO YOU STRAIGHT.

THE POLICE COMMISSIONER
WORKS FOR THE MAYOR.

WHAT IS YOUR POINT?

TRUST ME, OR FUCK YOU.

STAND UP.

I JUST NEED TO SEE
HOW MANY PEOPLE...

THAT I'M TALKING TO.

IT'S JUST ME.

ALL RIGHT.

EDDIE CALLED ME
FROM MANHATTAN SOUTH.

THE NIGHT BEFORE?

YEAH. HE WANTED ME TO
COME UP THERE WITH HIM.

YOU DIDN'T GO.
YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.

NO, I DIDN'T!

HE HAD NO BUSINESS GOING
UP THERE WITHOUT A GHOST.

THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME,
PLUS A RAFT OF BACKUPS.

BUT EDDIE WAS
SUCH A HOTHEAD!

I MEAN...

THE KIND THAT
NEVER COOLS OFF.

WHAT DO YOU
WANT TO TELL ME?

THERE WAS ANOTHER
PROBATION REPORT.

[SIGHS]

THIS ONE...

IT SET TINO UP
FOR THE MAX--10 TO 20.

WHAT HAPPENED TO IT?

I DON'T KNOW.

WHO WROTE IT?

THAT'S ALL I GOT.

MR. CALHOUN...

THE PROBATION OFFICER.

NAME?

JAMES WAKELEY,

BUT YOU WON'T FIND HIM
ON LEONARD STREET.

WHERE IS HE?

UPSTATE WORKING PAROLE.

[TRAIN HORN BLOWING]

[BUZZ]

I TOLD YOU PEOPLE
NOT TO COME UP HERE.

YOU MADE A LONG TRIP
FOR NOTHING.

DO YOU WANT TO TELL ME
THE TRUTH NOW, MR. WAKELEY,

OR WOULD YOU LIKE
TO DO IT UNDER OATH?

YOU'RE LOOKIN' TO GROW
A PAIR OF BRASS BALLS, MISS?

NO, THANK YOU. I'M DOING
WELL ENOUGH WITHOUT THEM.

SO DO YOU WANT A SUBPOENA,
OR MAY WE CONTINUE?

WHAT BROUGHT YOU
UP HERE

FROM LEONARD STREET,
MR. WAKELEY?

NEW YORK STATE PAROLE OFFICER--
BETTER PAY, BETTER PENSION.

NICER SURROUNDINGS.

YOU THINK SO?

WHAT HAPPENED
TO TINO ZAPATTI?

HE'S DEAD, ISN'T HE?

I'M TALKING
ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO.

HE GOT PROBATION.

WHAT SENTENCE
DID YOU RECOMMEND?

10 TO 20.

I SAW THE RAP SHEET.

TINO WAS PUSHING DRUGS
TO KIDS--

NOT DOING IT HIMSELF,

BUT HAVING THE KIDS
DEAL FOR HIM.

WEAPON FROM
A PREVIOUS HOMICIDE...

DISAPPEARED
IN THE SECOND REPORT.

WHO ORDERED IT?

THAT I DON'T KNOW.

WHY DIDN'T YOU ASK?

SUDDEN URGE OVERCAME ME
TO MOVE TO THE COUNTRY,

AND I FORGOT ALL ABOUT IT.

NOW, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME,

YOU PEOPLE HAD BETTER
GET OUT OF HERE.

MY LUMBAGO TELLS ME
THAT SNOW IS COMING.

YOU BETTER HURRY.

BUFFALO GETS SOCKED IN
PRETTY FAST.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

[TRAIN HORN BLOWS]

WATCH YOUR STEP.
IT'S SLIPPERY.

Woman: THANK YOU.

HOW LONG?
ABOUT AN HOUR.

AN HOUR?

YOU DON'T WANT TO SUFFOCATE
IN A TUNNEL, DO YOU?

THEY GOTTA DIG ONE OUT
A FEW MILES AHEAD.

MEANWHILE,
ENJOY THE SNOW.

WE CAN'T EAT SNOW.

TRY THAT DINER
OVER THERE.

ANY GOOD?

LEMON PUDDING'S
NOT BAD.

OH, WELL.

BE BACK IN
HALF AN HOUR.

THANKS.

LIKE A SAUNA IN HERE.

FOR YOU, MAYBE. MY TOES
ARE LIKE ICICLES.

WARMING UP?

SLOWLY.

WHAT'LL IT BE?

OH, I'LL HAVE A BURGER,
FRIES, AND A COKE.

HOW IS
THE LEMON PUDDING?

HOMEMADE.

I'LL GIVE IT A SHOT.
EVERYTHING TO GO.

YOU GOT IT.

THANKS. SAY, WHY IS THIS
CALLED THE FLOYD DINER

INSTEAD OF FLOYD'S DINER?

'CAUSE YOU'RE IN
FLOYD, NEW YORK, MISS.

HA HA!

WHO'D-A THUNK IT?

FLOYD, NEW YORK,
LIKE CLYDE, NEW JERSEY.

COULD YOU IMAGINE
SPENDING

YOUR ENTIRE LIFE
IN A PLACE LIKE THIS?

I CAN. I GREW UP IN ONE.

FERRIDAY, LOUISIANA.

THERE IS SOMETHING SPECIAL
ABOUT SMALL-TOWN LIFE.

SO THEN WHAT ARE YOU
DOING IN NEW YORK?

[SIGHS]

WELL, YOU KNOW
EVERY LOUISIANA BOY

CATCHES POLITICS
LIKE A DISEASE?

NO, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.

THAT'S A FACT,
AND I WAS NO EXCEPTION.

SO, AFTER LAW SCHOOL,
I HEAD TO WHERE ELSE?

FLOYD, NEW YORK.

WASHINGTON.
LEAPFROGGED BACK AND FORTH

FROM COMMITTEE STAFFER
TO CONGRESSIONAL ASSISTANT

UNTIL THE MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY
CAME DOWN TO TESTIFY.

AND HE GAVE A SPEECH THAT DAY
ON THE FLOOR I REMEMBER

THAT WILL STAY WITH ME
FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

I WENT UP TO HIM AFTERWARDS

AND TOLD HIM I ADMIRED HIM
AND WHAT HE STOOD FOR,

AND WHILE
I WAS THANKING HIM,

HE ASKED ME IF
I LIKED STONE CRABS.

HALFWAY THROUGH DINNER,
I HAD A NEW JOB,

AT THE END OF DINNER,
IT FELT LIKE I HAD A NEW HOME.

AND HERE WE GO.

I HEAR THE CURVE IN YOUR VOICE,
BUT LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

I'VE BEEN WITH
JOHN PAPPAS FOR 3 YEARS,

AND I'VE FINALLY FOUND
A PLACE IN GOVERNMENT

WHERE, PARDON THE EXPRESSION,
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

WELL, YOU DID. YOU DID.

YOU CERTAINLY MADE A
DIFFERENCE TO ELAINE SANTOS.

YOU FOUND WAKELEY,
CLEAR EDDIE'S NAME.

GET THEM THEIR PENSION.

YEAH, BUT NOT SO FAST.

WE GOTTA KEEP WAKELEY ON ICE
TILL I FIND THAT REPORT.

WELL, WE DON'T
NEED THE REPORT.

WE JUST TAKE
WAKELEY'S DEPOSITION.

NO, THAT'S ALL YOU NEED.
I GOTTA GET THAT REPORT,

SEE WHAT'S ON IT,
SEE WHERE IT LEADS.

BUT WHAT IF WHILE
YOU'RE PLAYING DETECTIVE,

WHAT IF JAMES WAKELEY
SUDDENLY DECIDES

IT'D BE HEALTHIER
TO JUST DISAPPEAR

AND WE'RE LEFT WITH NOTHING?

HOW IS ELAINE SANTOS
SUPPOSED TO FEED HER KIDS?

THAT'S A RISK
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO TAKE.

THAT'S A RISK YOU'RE
GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE,

BECAUSE I DON'T NEED YOU TO
GET WAKELEY'S DEPOSITION.

IF YOU INSIST ON TALKING
TO JAMES WAKELEY ON YOUR OWN,

I GUARANTEE YOU
YOU WILL FEEL THE FULL WEIGHT

OF THE MAYOR'S OFFICE
BEARING DOWN UPON YOU.

IT'S NOT A PLEASANT FEELING.

YOU'RE A MEAN PRICK.
YOU KNOW THAT?

WHERE I COME FROM,
THAT'S A COMPLIMENT.

HOLD ON A MINUTE.

FOR WHAT?

YOUR AMBITION AND
JOHN PAPPAS' COATTAILS?

BURGER, FRIES, COKE,
AND A LEMON PUDDING.

I'LL TAKE THESE.

THE MAYOR'S BOY
GETS THE LEMON PUDDING.

MR. SCHWARTZ?

KEVIN CALHOUN.

I JUST BEEN TALKING
TO A FRIEND OF YOURS.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

[RING]

[RING]

HELLO?

SCHWARTZ HERE. I'VE GOT
THE PROBATION REPORT.

WHERE ARE YOU?

RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.

MEET ME AT FRANKLIN
AND HUDSON. [GASPS]

SCHWARTZ? HELLO?

HELLO?

[EXHALES]

[ENGINE STARTS]

GEORGE.

ABE CALLED ME.
HE'S IN THE BACK.

THAT'S THE ONLY WAY IN.
THE BACK DOOR'S GATED.

ALL RIGHT?
THANKS.

[LAUGHTER
AND CONVERSATION]

ABE.

HA HA HA!

ABE!

HA HA HA!

COME ON!

IT'S YOUR PLAY.

THROW THE CARD
FOR ME, MORTY.

YOU'VE BEEN PRACTICING
ALL YOUR LIFE.

FREDDIE, GIVE US
A MINUTE, WILL YOU?

HE'S DEAD.

SCHWARTZ IS DEAD.
I HEARD IT ON THE PHONE.

I WAS--
I HEARD HIM GET SHOT.

GET AHOLD OF YOURSELF.
IT'S OK.

YOU WERE RIGHT.

YOU KNEW IT FROM THE MINUTE
WE SAW HIM THAT DAY.

IT WASN'T KOSHER.
THERE WAS A SECOND REPORT.

RIGHT, BUT I WASN'T SURE.
THAT WAS ONLY A FEELING.

WELL, NOW IT'S A FACT,
AND 5 PEOPLE ARE DEAD.

WALTER STERN LOOKED SO JUDICIAL.
HOW COULD HE BE SO CORRUPT?

THE SWEATER UNRAVELS.

I'LL GIVE YOU ONE
THIS TIME.

THE ONLY THING NEW IN THIS WORLD
IS THE HISTORY YOU DON'T KNOW.

NEW TESTAMENT?

HARRY TRUMAN.

JUDGE WALTER STERN'S
A GOOD MAN.

HE'S GOOD?
5 PEOPLE ARE DEAD!

OK, WHAT'S YOUR POINT?

YOU THROW THE BOOK
AT THE GUY,

AND YOU HURRY
OUT OF THE WAY.

EMBRACE
DETECTIVE SANTOS.

MAX DEATH SETTLEMENT
FOR THE WIDOW.

MEDAL OF HONOR
FOR THE DECEASED.

AND I MAKE SURE LESLIE

MAKES THE MORNING
EDITIONS WITH IT.

SO YOU GOT THIS
ALL FIGURED OUT?

THAT'S MY JOB,
ISN'T IT?

WELL, THAT'S COLD, PAPPY.
THAT'S COLD.

I MEAN, YOU DON'T JUST...

IT'S MORE COMPLICATED
THAN THAT, NO?

YEAH.

FORGIVE ME. I KNOW THE TWO
OF YOU ARE OLD FRIENDS.

BE CAREFUL
HOW YOU JUDGE PEOPLE,

MOST OF ALL, FRIENDS.

YOU DON'T SUM UP A MAN'S LIFE
IN ONE MOMENT.

THERE ARE NO COLD ANSWERS,
ARE THERE?

THERE'S NO SIMPLE
YES OR NO.

A MAN'S LIFE IS NOT THE BRICKS,
IT'S THE MORTAR, PAPPY.

IT'S THE STUFF THAT
LAYS BETWEEN, THE STUFF--

THE STUFF YOU CAN'T SEE.

I'VE KNOWN WALTER
MY WHOLE LIFE.

GOD, THE MAN IS--

HE'S A DECENT MAN.
HE'S A GOOD MAN.

BUT THIS IS TOUGH STUFF.

THIS IS BODY BAG STUFF.

YOU TELL ME IF
THERE'S SOME OTHER WAY.

THERE ISN'T.
THE DIE'S BEEN CAST.

IT WAS CAST A LONG TIME AGO.

GO EASY.

GIVE HIM A BLINDFOLD
AND HAVE MERCY.

WALTER STERN WAS A TOUGH MAN,
BUT HE WAS FAIR.

WE GIVE BACK THE SAME, NO?

AND YOU BE CAREFUL.

KEEP GEORGE WITH YOU.
LET HIM DRIVE.

I GOTTA GO IN HERE.

YEAH.

[SIGHS]

I KNEW JAMES WAKELEY
WOULD SURFACE.

JUST AS I KNEW WHEN
THAT BULLET HIT THAT BOY,

IT WOULD KEEP TRAVELING.

Kevin: THEN
FIND ITS WAY...

TO ME.

IF ONLY IT HAD
FOUND ME FIRST.

IF ONLY I COULD HAVE
STEPPED IN FRONT OF HIM.

REGRETS ARE PATHETIC,
AREN'T THEY?

I WAS TIRED OF BEING
THE WHITE-SHOE LITIGATOR,

DEFENDING THE ARBITRAGEURS

OR THE EIGHTIES GO-GO BOYS.

ALL IT TOOK WAS $50,000
TO CHANGE MY LIFE.

50,000,
AND THE JUDGESHIP WAS MINE.

ABSURD, ISN'T IT?

THE MAYOR HAS ALWAYS

HAD THE HIGHEST REGARD
FOR YOU, JUDGE.

AND I FOR HIM.

YOUR RESIGNATION
IN ABOUT 6 MONTHS

WOULD BE
APPROPRIATE.

6 MONTHS, DID YOU SAY?

HOW ABOUT 6 HOURS?

THIS IS THE SCENE
THIS MORNING

OUTSIDE THE DISTRICT
ATTORNEY'S OFFICE

WHERE SEVERAL CITY OFFICIALS
HAVE BEEN BROUGHT IN

FOR QUESTIONING IN
THE RAPIDLY DEVELOPING STORY

SURROUNDING THE RESIGNATION
OF JUDGE WALTER STERN.

AFTER THE CHECKS
AND BALANCES WRAP,

WE GO INTO...

"THE RECENT REVELATIONS
ARE NOT UNPRECEDENTED.

"CONSIDER JUDGE WACHTLER

OF THE NEW YORK
STATE SUPREME COURT,

A MAN OF IMPECCABLE
CREDENTIALS WHO FELL--"

TAKE IT OUT.
IT SOUNDS LIKE SHAKESPEARE.

THE WHOLE THING?

NO, NO. LEAVE THE WACHLER
STUFF IN. THAT'S GOOD.

JUST SAY IT PLAIN.

YOU KNOW THE REST.

THE SHARKS
ARE GETTING HUNGRY.

OK, OK. GIVE THEM
THE ONE-MINUTE SIGN.

TV reporter: WE'LL BRING IT
TO YOU LIVE AS IT HAPPENS.

Pappas: LEAN AND HUNGRY,
EVEN THE FAT ONES.

Woman: ANY NEWS?

Man: YOU GOT
ANYTHING?

30 SECONDS,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

30.

CONVENTION'S
COMING TO TOWN.

YOU GOING TO BE
ALL RIGHT?

THANKS FOR ASKING, KEVIN.
I'M GOING TO BE FINE.

DAMAGE CONTROL, REMEMBER.
DAMAGE CONTROL.

YOU LOOK GOOD.

OF COURSE.
I'M THE MAYOR.

[CLEARS THROAT]

LYNDON JOHNSON SAID...

"EVERYBODY
WILL GIVE YOU IDEAS

"ON HOW TO GET OUT OF TROUBLE
CHEAPLY AND FAST,

"AND THEY ALL COME DOWN
TO THIS--

DENY YOUR RESPONSIBILITY."

JOHN F. KENNEDY SAID,

"AN ERROR DOESN'T HAVE
TO BECOME A MISTAKE

UNTIL YOU REFUSE
TO CORRECT IT."

[TV PLAYING]

TV: ...INCOME TAX
WITH A FLAT TAX.

MORE TOMORROW, FOLLOWING

THE SENATE FINANCE
COMMITTEE HEARINGS.

ACCORDING TO LOCAL NEWS,

THERE WERE
EXPLOSIVE DEVELOPMENTS

WITH THE INCIDENT AT
BROADWAY AND MARCY THIS MORNING.

THE REVELATION OF
A MISSING PROBATION REPORT

IS EXPECTED TO RESULT
IN THE HANDING UP OF INDICTMENTS

BY THE GRAND JURY OF
SUPREME COURT JUDGE WALTER STERN

AND BROOKLYN DEMOCRATIC
COUNTY LEADER FRANK ANSELMO.

ANSELMO'S CONNECTIONS TO
MAFIA CHIEFTAIN PAUL ZAPATTI

ARE CERTAIN TO BE EXAMINED.

AND INFORMED SOURCES SAY

THE CAREER OF THE PERSONABLE
POLITICAL BOSS IS OVER

AND A LONG PRISON TERM
IS NOW IN THE OFFING.

[CLICK]

[BIRD CHIRPING]

CHESTER...

CHESTER,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

EH?

DID MOMMY LET YOU OUT?

DID SHE? AND HOW WAS
YOUR DAY TODAY?

GIMME A KISS. GOOD.

[CHUCKLES]

Nettie:
YOU OK, FRANK?

FINE, SWEETHEART.
I'M FINE.

IT'S BEEN ON THE TV
ALL MORNING.

YEAH, I--I KNOW.
I HEARD.

I FIXED YOU
SOME OSSO BUCO.

YEAH?

YEAH.
I HAD A FEELING

YOU MIGHT COME HOME
FOR LUNCH TODAY.

HMM.

IT SMELLS GOOD.

I'LL JUST GO GET
THE CLOTHES.

THAT MACHINE'S
THUNKING AGAIN.

PAULIE.

HOW ARE YOU, FRANK?

I'M GOOD.
CONSIDERING.

YEAH, OF COURSE.

OF COURSE.

COFFEE?

UH...

NETTIE'S DOWN
WITH THE, UH, LAUNDRY.

MM-HMM.

STAY FOR LUNCH?
OSSO BUCO.

OSSO BUCO. YEAH.

NETTIE FIXES THE PIMANTES
AND PEPPERS AND EVERYTHING.

NAH, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
I HAD MY LUNCH.

LIKE A COFFEE?

NO, THANKS.

SO...

WHAT DO YOU THINK,
FRANK?

OH, THE SAME OLD THING.

THIS TIME,
IT'S THIS CALHOUN GUY.

I NEVER LIKED HIM
FROM DAY ONE.

HE'S A CRACKER.

OF THE WORST KIND.
HE'S OUT OF HERE TOMORROW.

NO, I DON'T THINK SO.

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

HE'S A REED.

WE PUSH HIM,
AND--AND HE BENDS.

NOT THIS ONE.

THIS ONE'S A TERRIER.

HMM. I HAD A DOG
LIKE HIM ONCE.

I WENT TO HAVE HIM
PUT DOWN.

HE JUMPED OUT OF
MY ARMS AT THE VET'S

AND TOOK OFF
FOR THE PARK.

SOMETIMES I STILL THINK
I SEE HIM OUT THERE

WATCHING ME...

GNAWING ON AN OLD BONE.

EXCUSE ME.

HELLO, NETTIE.

CAN I HELP YOU
WITH THE BASKET?

NO, NO.

I DIDN'T KNOW FRANK
WAS EXPECTING YOU.

DUE ESPRESSI?

UH, MAYBE LATER.

OK.

UH...

99 OUT OF 100 TIMES,

WE CAN--WE CAN BEAT
SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

I DON'T LIKE THE ODDS.

WE GO BACK A LONG WAY,
PAULIE.

I KNOW. I KNOW.

I TRIED TO CLOSE
THE DOOR, FRANK.

COULDN'T GET IT SHUT.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU
WANT ME TO DO?

TAKE THE PRESSURE
OFF YOURSELF.

NOW, HERE'S THE THING.

THEY'LL TELL YOU,

"YEAH, YEAH, SURE.

YOU HAVE THE KEY
TO THE CELL. GO AHEAD."

BUT YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO
OPEN IT WITHOUT SINGING.

YOU'RE A SINGER, FRANK.

GIVE ME A CHANCE,

AND I-I'LL SHOW YOU
HOW QUIET I CAN BE.

IT'S OUT OF MY HANDS,
FRANK.

DO THE RIGHT THING,
WILL YOU?

MAKE IT EASY
FOR YOURSELF.

Nettie:
FRANK, HONEY, LUNCH.

AND YOUR FAMILY.

YEAH.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

SENATOR, I GUARANTEE YOU
THIS EVENT IS NOTHING

BUT A BLEMISH ON THE SKIN
OF A GREAT METROPOLIS.

THE PARTY'S NEVER GONNA SEE
THAT BLEMISH IN JUNE.

ALL IT'S GONNA SEE

THE PLAZA, THE WALDORF,

ELECTRICITY,
EXCITEMENT, FUN.

YOU CATCH THE BITE

HE'S ONLY MAGNIFICENT.

IS GONNA WANT TO BE ONBOARD.

[RING]

[RING]

HELLO.

Nettie:
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?

I CALLED TO YOU.

YOU WERE DOWN
IN THE BASEMENT.

I'M GONNA GET A WASHER
AT ORCHARD SUPPLY,

STOP THE MACHINE
FROM THUNKING.

I'LL EAT
WHEN I GET HOME.

OH?

OK.

BE CAREFUL.

OF COURSE.

[ADRIEN RAYNIER SINGING
YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE]

* WALK ON THROUGH THE WIND *

* WALK ON THROUGH THE RAIN *

* THOUGH YOUR DREAMS
BE TOSSED AND BLOWN *

* WALK ON, WALK ON *

* WITH HOPE IN YOUR HEART *

* AND YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE *

* YOU'LL NEVER... *

[GUNSHOT]

I HEAR YOU. I KNOW THE WATER
KEEPS RISING, MR. SADLER.

IN FACT, RIGHT NOW,
IT IS UP TO THE FLOORBOARDS,

BUT I GUARANTEE YOU,

WE'RE BAILING OUT FASTER
THAN WE'RE TAKING IT IN.

THERE'S NO WAY THIS THING'S
GONNA DERAIL--

LET ME CALL YOU BACK.
SOMETHING'S JUST COME UP.

I'LL CALL YOU WHEN
WE CAN TALK AT LENGTH.

FRANK ANSELMO
JUST KILLED HIMSELF.

AND THIS IS THE ORIGINAL
PROBATION REPORT,

THE ONE WE WERE
LOOKING FOR.

THEY FOUND IT
IN ANSELMO'S CAR.

THE POLICE COMMISSIONER
GAVE IT TO ME.

HE DIDN'T WANT IT ENDING UP
AS TOMORROW'S HEADLINE.

"TINO ZAPATTI."

"RECOMMENDED PRISON SENTENCE--
10-20 YEARS."

CHECK THIS ONE OUT?

THIS ONE'S KOSHER.

SO THE STORY ENDS
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN.

WHITE-SHOE LAWYER.
BROOKLYN CLUBHOUSE BOSS.

NO.

WALTER STERN
AND FRANK ANSELMO--

DON'T SEE 'EM
IN THE SAME ROOM.

SOMETHING'S STILL WRONG
WITH THE PICTURE, YOU KNOW.

I KNOW.

BEFORE WE NAIL UP THE HOUSE
FOR THE SEASON,

ONE MORE DOOR TO CLOSE.

AFTERNOON, MR. CALHOUN.

I'M SORRY, BUT THE JUDGE
HAS LEFT FOR THE DAY.

OF COURSE YOU'RE SORRY.

IS THAT YOUR SIGNATURE?

WE'RE REQUIRED TO RECORD
THE RECEIPT OF ALL DOCUMENTS.

WHAT ABOUT PHONE CALLS?

YOU KEEP A LOG
OF PHONE CALLS?

YES.

TAKE A MINUTE FOR ME,
PLEASE.

LOOK UP THE DATES OF
FRANK ANSELMO'S CALLS

TO THIS OFFICE.

YOU'RE IN THE WRONG PEW,
MR. CALHOUN.

FRANK ANSELMO NEVER
CALLED THIS OFFICE.

WHAT ABOUT THE MAYOR?

HE'S IN HIS DRESSING ROOM,
MR. CALHOUN.

WHERE YOU BEEN?

I WAS LOOKING FOR YOU
HALF AN HOUR AGO.

TRYING TO GET THROUGH
TO SENATOR MARQUAND.

WELL, HE GOT
THROUGH TO ME.

YEAH?

THEY'RE MOVING
THE CONVENTION TO MIAMI.

MIAMI? WHY?

THEY LIKE MIAMI.
LOTS OF GLAMOUR.

YOU GOT
WHOOPI GOLDBERG.

MADONNA JUST BOUGHT
HOUSES IN SOUTH BEACH.

WHO KNOWS? MAYBE WE
CAN NOMINATE THEM.

I THOUGHT IT WAS ALL CUT.

CUT? NOT CUT.

POLITICS, PAPPY.
NOTHING'S CUT.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

I'M GONNA PAY MY RESPECTS
TO NETTIE ANSELMO.

DO YOU THINK THAT'S WISE?

WHAT'S WISE GOT
TO DO WITH IT?

BECAUSE THE PERCEPTION'S
GONNA--

OH, FUCK PERCEPTION.
PERCEPTION.

I'M TALKING MENSCHKEIT.

STUFF BETWEEN MEN.

YOU KNOW,
THE THERE THAT'S THERE,

THE THOUSAND
TELEPHONE CALLS,

THE BOUQUETS
AND THE BRICKBATS...

THE SPACE BETWEEN
A HANDSHAKE.

YOU KNOW.

THE STUFF THAT GOES
WITH YOU TO YOUR GRAVE.

THE SPACE BETWEEN A HANDSHAKE
FOR RIGHT AND WRONG?

WHY ARE YOU PRESSING ME
TONIGHT? WHAT'S UP?

I'M LOOKING
FOR AN ANSWER.

YOU WANT AN ANSWER?

OK, PAPPY.
THINK OF IT AS COLORS.

THERE'S BLACK,
AND THERE'S WHITE,

AND IN BETWEEN IS
MOSTLY GRAY. THAT'S US.

NOW,
GRAY IS A TOUGH COLOR,

BECAUSE IT'S NOT AS SIMPLE
AS BLACK AND WHITE,

AND FOR THE MEDIA,

CERTAINLY NOT
AS INTERESTING.

BUT IT'S WHO WE ARE.

WHAT ARE YOU
GONNA DO NOW?

YOU MEAN WE.

WE'RE GONNA FIGHT
THE SONS OF BITCHES.

WE'RE GONNA
COME OUT SWINGING.

WE'RE GONNA TELL THEM,
"HEY, WE'RE ONLY HUMAN.

"EVERYBODY MAKES MISTAKES.

"FRANK ANSELMO IS DEAD.
HE WAS A FRIEND.

BUT THE LAST OF
THE CLUBHOUSE BOSSES IS GONE."

WE'RE GONNA CLEAN UP
THE AUGEAN STABLES.

WE'RE GONNA SHOW UP IN MIAMI,
HAVE THEM ON THEIR KNEES

BEGGING ME TO MAKE
THE KEYNOTE SPEECH.

AND THEN?

A SHORT SOJOURN
TO ALBANY,

FOLLOWED BY A LONG ONE
AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

IF I DIDN'T KNOW BETTER,

I'D BE BURSTING
WITH ADMIRATION.

I THOUGHT I'D COME IN HERE
AND FIND YOU ON YOUR KNEES.

INSTEAD YOU'RE READY TO TURN
ADVERSITY INTO TRIUMPH.

OH, THAT'S JUST A REFLEX,
AN OLD HABIT OF MINE,

BUT IT'S STILL GOOD
TO HEAR YOU SAY IT.

THE WAY YOU SAY IT, TOO.

ADVERSITY INTO TRIUMPH.

IT'S GOOD TO KNOW
YOU STILL BELIEVE IN ME.

DID I SAY THAT?

I DON'T KNOW. THAT'S WHAT
I THOUGHT YOU DID.

DON'T FATHERS
LISTEN TO THEIR SONS?

HOW IS YOUR FATHER
THESE DAYS?

I HAVEN'T HEARD YOU
MENTION HIM FOR QUITE A WHILE.

WHERE IS HE?

HE'S IN A NURSING HOME
IN CROWLEY, LOUISIANA.

PLAYS DOMINOES
WITH ORDERLIES.

FULMINATES OVER
HIS CREAM OF WHEAT.

HO. DON'T BE
TOO HARD ON HIM.

WE CAN'T DICTATE
OUR FINISHES, YOU KNOW.

I DON'T LIKE
THE SOUND OF THAT.

OF COURSE YOU DON'T.

BECAUSE UNDERNEATH
ALL THAT NEED TO BELIEVE,

HMM? UNDER ALL THE CONCRETE
YOU POURED INTO MY PEDESTAL,

SOMETHING IS CRYING
TO GET OUT.

WHAT?

YOU KNOW I CALLED
JUDGE WALTER STERN.

YES.

ANSELMO CALLED ME.

I KNEW THE MAFIOSO
HAD CALLED HIM,

BUT IN THIS BUSINESS,
YOU DON'T TRADE NAMES.

AND I CALLED WALTER.

THAT'S ALL THERE WAS
TO IT.

I WAS DOING
ANSELMO A FAVOR.

RUN CAUTION LIGHTS
ALL MY LIFE.

THIS TIME YOU RAN A RED,

AND SOMEONE CUT ACROSS
THE INTERSECTION--

A COP
AND A 6-YEAR-OLD CHILD.

THAT'S WITH ME FOREVER.

THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

NOT GOOD ENOUGH?

UGH! YOU THINK
I DON'T KNOW THAT?

I HOPE SO, JOHN.

SCARES ME
WHEN YOU CALL ME JOHN.

YEAH? WHY'S THAT?

BECAUSE I, UH...

I THOUGHT A MINUTE AGO
WE WERE...

OFF TO THE WHITE HOUSE.

I...

I THOUGHT I COULD
FEEL YOU COME ABOARD.

YOU KNOW,
THE OLD MENSCHKEIT.

HORSESHIT.

MENSCHKEIT IS HORSESHIT.

IT'S 120 YEARS OF GRAFT

AND SWEETHEART CONTRACTS
AND FEATHERBEDS

AND INSIDE INFORMATION
AND GOLDEN PARACHUTES,

AND EVERYWHERE,
PEOPLE IN POWER

GATHER UP
TO CARVE UP THE TURF.

THAT'S YOUR MENSCHKEIT.

IT'S HORSESHIT,

AND YOU KNOW
WHERE YOU CAN PUT IT.

MAYBE SPREAD IT OUT
ALL OVER THE FIELDS.

WE CROSS OUR FINGERS,
GET A LITTLE RAIN,

MAYBE A FLOWER WILL GROW.

IT HAS.

OUT OF ALL THIS CRAP...

YOU EMERGED.

YOU'RE THE ONLY VOTER
I EVER CARED--

I'M GETTING
THAT OLD CON FEELING, JOHN,

LIKE YOU COPPING A PLEA.

NO, COME ON.
NO PLEA. NOPE.

I'M JUST A POL
WHO KEPT ROLLING ALONG

UNTIL HE RAN
INTO A STONE WALL.

YOU WERE THAT WALL,

AND I REALIZED,

JUST LIKE ME
WHEN I WAS A KID.

YOUNG, AMBITIOUS,
GO-GETTER...BUT FAIR?

TRADING UP, OF COURSE,

BUT ALWAYS FOR
THE RIGHT CAUSES.

YOU'RE DOING GOOD.

YOU'RE NOT PUTTING
MONEY IN YOUR POCKET.

YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO
MAINTAIN YOUR POSITION,

YOUR POWER.

'CAUSE WHAT GOOD ARE YOU
TO THE PEOPLE WITHOUT IT?

BUT DOWN DEEP...

YOU KNOW...

THERE'S A LINE
YOU CAN'T CROSS.

AND AFTER
A THOUSAND TRADES,

ONE DEAL TOO MANY...

THE LINE
GETS RUBBED OUT.

I HAD THE FIRE
IN THE BELLY

JUST LIKE YOU, KEVIN.

AND THE ODD THING IS,
I STILL HAVE IT.

NEVER LEFT ME.

I HAD THE DREAM...

AND I HAD THE WEIGHT.

LIKE ONE OF THOSE GUYS
BEFORE ME SAID...

"IF A SPARROW DIES
IN CENTRAL PARK,

I FEEL RESPONSIBLE."

WELL SAID.
I FEEL THAT WAY.

AND I WAS GONNA TAKE
THAT FEELING WITH ME...

ALL THE WAY
TO WASHINGTON.

THE THINGS
YOU COULD'VE DONE.

FUCKING THINGS
I COULD HAVE DONE.

YOU'RE GONNA TAKE
YOURSELF OUT, JOHN.

YOU'RE GONNA
TAKE YOURSELF OUT.

TAKE A LONG VACATION
IN GREECE.

PICK UP THE LAW AGAIN.

GO THE WAY OF
WILLIAM O'DWYER.

HE FUCKED UP AND PLAYED
AMBASSADOR TO MEXICO.

I'M NOT THAT AMBITIOUS.

THEN SUCK IT UP
AND FIND SOME OTHER WAY.

LISTEN TO YOU.

I THOUGHT I'D SEE
A BOY'S TEARS.

THE TEARS ARE THERE.

YOU JUST CAN'T
SEE 'EM RIGHT NOW.

[WHISPERING]
You got the stuff, Pappy.

I love to see it
in a guy.

P.A.: KEVIN CALHOUN

THE SIXTH DISTRICT,

CITY COUNCILMAN, KEVIN CALHOUN.

WELL, I'M INTERESTED

AS HUEY LONG ONCE SAID,
AND I QUOTE,

"IF YOU GOT A FRIEND,
YOU GOT A VOTE."

OH, DID HE SAY THAT?

YEAH, HE SURE DID.

HE ALSO TOLD ME TO MOVE
TO THE SIXTH DISTRICT

SO I CAN RUN IN IT,

SAID THE PEOPLE
ARE REAL SPECIAL.

SO DO I HAVE YOUR VOTE?

YOU CAN COUNT ON IT.

WELL, THAT'S ONE.

NO, MORE THAN ONE,
ACTUALLY.

I HEAR ELAINE SANTOS IS READY
TO STAND UP FOR YOU.

SOUNDS LIKE
A GROUNDSWELL.

YEAH.

Kevin, narrating: I WISH
I COULD TELL YOU I WON,

BUT I GOT THRASHED

BY A DOMINICAN
FROM 104th STREET.

I GOT BRANDED AN OUTSIDER,
AND I WAS NEVER IN IT.

BUT I'LL BE BACK
IN 2 YEARS, AND I'LL WIN.

YOU KNOW WHY?

I'M WILLING TO BE LUCKY.

AND IF YOU'RE WILLING
TO BE LUCKY,

NEW YORK'LL GIVE YOU
A CHANCE.
