0:02:09 > 0:02:11DOG WHIMPERS Come on, Ralphie.

0:02:13 > 0:02:18BACKGROUND MUSIC: "Air on the G String" by Bach

0:02:33 > 0:02:38It's dumb. I can't tell jokes. It is NOT dumb. Listen.

0:02:38 > 0:02:42How many New Yorkers does it take to screw in a light bulb?

0:02:42 > 0:02:46I give up. How many?

0:02:46 > 0:02:49So what's it worth to you?

0:02:49 > 0:02:52Oh, come on, it was a riot!

0:02:52 > 0:02:56Well, I'm sure it was funny when you heard it.

0:02:56 > 0:03:04How many feminists does it take to screw in a light bulb? I hate early shifts. Jokes will liven it up.

0:03:04 > 0:03:09I don't know any! How many feminists does it take to screw in a light bulb? How many?

0:03:09 > 0:03:13Four. One to screw in the bulb and three to be supportive!

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Ha-ha(!)

0:03:15 > 0:03:18'Any unit, 1052 the Dunhill Hotel.

0:03:18 > 0:03:24'Disturbance in progress.' How about it? You can joke 'em into jail.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27Almost funny.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29Car eleven responding to last.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39HYSTERICAL: Stop! He's got my baby! Stop him!

0:03:44 > 0:03:49You cretin! I'll make you pay! Not in front of the baby!

0:03:49 > 0:03:53We're cops. Now ease down, huh? That creep stole my baby!

0:03:53 > 0:03:55If it wasn't for this gentleman...

0:03:55 > 0:04:01He's my kid too! The court gave ME custody. Enough!

0:04:01 > 0:04:03Is everybody all right?

0:04:03 > 0:04:07Are you OK, baby? BLOWS A RASPBERRY

0:04:10 > 0:04:13If it wasn't for this gentleman, God knows what would have happened!

0:04:13 > 0:04:16He saved my child too, dammit!

0:04:16 > 0:04:18The court didn't figure you'd skip to New York.

0:04:18 > 0:04:22We're from Pennsylvania. How do I visit my boy on weekends

0:04:22 > 0:04:24when she moves to New York?!

0:04:24 > 0:04:28Serves you right! That is all the discussion we're gonna have here.

0:04:28 > 0:04:32Come on, we're going down to the station.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34You go with them. Go ahead.

0:04:36 > 0:04:41Ah! Naughty boy! Feisty, isn't he? He's lost his manners, I'm afraid.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43But I haven't. Kyle Berryman.

0:04:43 > 0:04:47Your servant...and your admirer.

0:04:47 > 0:04:53Christine Cagney, detective, 14th precinct. Oh! Yes.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55That was a very brave thing you did tonight.

0:04:55 > 0:04:59Most people don't want to get involved. I didn't mean to.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02I walk my dog here, at this hour.

0:05:02 > 0:05:06I just did what old fools are best at. I got in the way.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08Nothing more heroic than that.

0:05:08 > 0:05:13Don't disillusion me. Heroes are scarce. I think I've found one.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16So you're really a detective?

0:05:16 > 0:05:21I'm afraid you'll have to come down to the precinct to make a statement.

0:05:21 > 0:05:25It's a bit late and I'm a bit old. Must I?

0:05:25 > 0:05:28You're a witness. Oh, dear.

0:05:28 > 0:05:33I'm sorry. It will take some time. That's the price of goodwill.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36But I can give you a ride home afterwards. Do you live nearby?

0:05:38 > 0:05:41I'm living at the Dunhill Hotel now.

0:05:41 > 0:05:44Great. Then there's no problem.

0:05:44 > 0:05:48Something tells me that you're very, very good at what you do.

0:05:48 > 0:05:54And it has nothing to do with your obvious beauty. Ha! You're a pistol!

0:05:54 > 0:05:58At my age, one doesn't have much time to waste.

0:05:58 > 0:06:03One doesn't have much of anything to waste!

0:06:03 > 0:06:07Like it? You're not going to wear it without earrings(?)

0:06:07 > 0:06:09I was thinking of it for Julie.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12Those look like awfully good stones. It's worth over 30 grand.

0:06:12 > 0:06:19Is that the evidence? Yeah. Uniforms found it. And turned it in to US?

0:06:19 > 0:06:23They figure it relates to the Waldorf robbery last month. Drop it in here.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27Julie's gonna be heartbroken.

0:06:27 > 0:06:33She deliberately took my son out of state so I wouldn't see him again.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36So I did something. I'm human! He didn't give a damn

0:06:36 > 0:06:40about the child before the divorce. Now look at him, all father love!

0:06:40 > 0:06:42I filed a warrant for non-support.

0:06:42 > 0:06:44You wouldn't dare! I did!

0:06:44 > 0:06:48We are in a police station. We need to keep a civil tongue.

0:06:48 > 0:06:52I will check on any outstanding warrants.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54What do you know about love?

0:06:54 > 0:06:58What do YOU know about love? THE END!

0:06:58 > 0:07:03You stay put. Mrs Tartaglia, will you step this way, please?

0:07:05 > 0:07:07Are you all right?

0:07:07 > 0:07:09Mm... Oh, yes.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12I was thinking of my own wife.

0:07:12 > 0:07:16But that was many years ago. She's dead.

0:07:16 > 0:07:20I'm sorry. Give me one more minute and you're free to go.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23And lose your company? Type very slowly, my dear.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Mr Berryman? Yes.

0:07:28 > 0:07:32I heard what happened last night. We're proud of you.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35The lieutenant will put you up for a commendation.

0:07:35 > 0:07:40You could win the Daily News crime-fighters award. That's $1,000.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43I really appreciate your thanks.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46But I don't want an award or money.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50I simply did my civic duty. That's enough.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53Er...if we are finished.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55Sign and we are finished.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57Where? Right there.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02Then we're finished. Thank you.

0:08:07 > 0:08:08To fate.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13Without it, we'd have never met.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Please. I'll swoon!

0:08:19 > 0:08:21Let's go home, Ralphie.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23Goodbye. Au revoir.

0:08:33 > 0:08:38Is all that homework done? I got an A in Maths.

0:08:38 > 0:08:44Very good, but I think you're evading my question. He hit the books. Comic books!

0:08:44 > 0:08:47You gonna be able to sleep? Yeah.

0:08:47 > 0:08:52I have to be back at 4pm. It's almost 8. How many hours is that?

0:08:52 > 0:08:54Eight. Perfect.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56Crazy night shift's really gotta take it out of you, huh?

0:08:56 > 0:08:59Yeah. I'm on straight days tomorrow.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04Your back bothering you again? No. Why?

0:09:04 > 0:09:08Eight o'clock. We're late! Come on, kisses.

0:09:08 > 0:09:15All right. I gotta run. Careful on those streets. You take care of your brother. Take it easy.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Bye.

0:09:17 > 0:09:23You remember Sandra Lockenstein? She's in town. She called. Oh?

0:09:23 > 0:09:28Yeah. They still in Pennsylvania? I think so.

0:09:28 > 0:09:35SHE LAUGHS What's the matter? I don't care if your old girlfriend calls you.

0:09:35 > 0:09:41She's in town for a few days. She was wondering if we could go to lunch.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44I said I would take her.

0:09:44 > 0:09:48What do you think? Tell her hi from me. You don't mind?

0:09:50 > 0:09:52Honey, you love me.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57Good night.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06How can you eat that? I love it.

0:10:06 > 0:10:11Are you handling the warrant on the guy you brought in last night?

0:10:11 > 0:10:14Yeah, but we gotta find it first.

0:10:14 > 0:10:19Sushi! Yeah. May I have a piece of your eel, please? Sure. Eel?

0:10:19 > 0:10:24I used to eat this stuff by the ton until I found out about all the mercury in it. See!

0:10:29 > 0:10:33I hate family disputes. Anything about love, people go crazy.

0:10:33 > 0:10:38Punching and screaming are just ways people work out their problems.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40Look at this! What?

0:10:40 > 0:10:47An outstanding warrant for Kyle Berryman. For what? Nonpayment of alimony.

0:10:47 > 0:10:50He told me his wife had died.

0:10:50 > 0:10:51Wishful thinking?

0:10:53 > 0:10:59No, that's a current warrant. The man has to be arrested.

0:10:59 > 0:11:04Mary Beth, forget it! The guy does a good deed and that's the pay-off?

0:11:06 > 0:11:07Let's go.

0:11:07 > 0:11:12Come on. No. I'm not going to do it.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14Chris, on your right.

0:11:14 > 0:11:16I really hate this a lot.

0:11:22 > 0:11:23Mr Berryman.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Good evening, ladies.

0:11:29 > 0:11:30Er...you're under arrest.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50Good morning. What's going on?

0:11:50 > 0:11:54Petrie and I had a riot in a disco last night. This is the last bunch.

0:11:54 > 0:11:58We've been backlogging uniforms since 3am. Sorry we missed it.

0:11:58 > 0:12:02You girls were probably home asleep, having sweet dreams.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04Sure. Wait a minute.

0:12:04 > 0:12:09Mr Berryman? Good morning. I hope you didn't spend all night in there, sir.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12They were supposed to cycle you through central booking.

0:12:12 > 0:12:16Apparently there was a disturbance at some disco. Oh, I'm sorry.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19Hiya, Ralph. Come on. Thank you.

0:12:19 > 0:12:25Did you get any sleep? I rested my eyes. I'm not used to this.

0:12:25 > 0:12:29I'll see what I can do to get you out of here. You want a doughnut?

0:12:29 > 0:12:31Thank you.

0:12:31 > 0:12:38How about some coffee? No, thank you. Sign me in, Mary Beth. You like it here?

0:12:38 > 0:12:46Most of the time. I like my work. You love your work. You're very good at it.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48How do you know?

0:12:50 > 0:12:54Yes, I am. Perhaps even better than that. Thank you.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57Sit down, Mr Berryman.

0:12:57 > 0:13:02Maybe if we call your wife she'll drop the charges.

0:13:02 > 0:13:03No, she's adamant.

0:13:03 > 0:13:07The only thing I worry about is Ralph.

0:13:07 > 0:13:12Is there someone who can take care of him? Perhaps my nephew.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15I tried to reach him but he travels.

0:13:15 > 0:13:20I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm sure we can work something out.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22Right, Ralph? DOG BARKS

0:13:22 > 0:13:27I said no. Haven't your kids always wanted to have a dog?

0:13:27 > 0:13:29They had a dog, twice.

0:13:29 > 0:13:35I'm not going through that again. What happened? They were run over.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38Both of them? That's what dogs do.

0:13:38 > 0:13:46"He went to live on a farm" won't work any more. I can't take the responsibility. Me neither.

0:13:46 > 0:13:51You're used to it. You got yourself a pet.

0:13:51 > 0:13:55'All units, we have a 1010, possible assault or homicide in progress.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58'623 East 23rd Street.'

0:13:58 > 0:14:05That's two blocks from here. Swell. Car eleven responding. Take it easy. SIREN BLARES

0:14:05 > 0:14:10You'd better crack the window. What for? He'll suffocate.

0:14:10 > 0:14:17I don't want this car stolen again, especially with him in it! He's your dog. Stay!

0:14:17 > 0:14:23I can't take this responsibility. Ralph...heel.

0:14:25 > 0:14:30Police, folks. Who here reported a homicide? Homicide? I just said they were killing each other.

0:14:30 > 0:14:34Please step inside. Police! ANGRY VOICES INSIDE

0:14:34 > 0:14:37Thank you, ma'am.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39Open the door, please.

0:14:39 > 0:14:47Good morning. Police. Detectives Cagney and Lacey. Hello. You can't just come in like that!

0:14:47 > 0:14:50Who else is in here? No-one. We heard voices. TV.

0:14:53 > 0:14:57My brother and I were watching TV but it broke. Where is he? Who?

0:14:57 > 0:15:01Your brother. He's... What's in here?

0:15:01 > 0:15:07The bathroom. My brother, he's in the bathroom. Stand over there.

0:15:07 > 0:15:10Police. Open up.

0:15:10 > 0:15:15It's just a family quarrel. Open up or I'm coming in. He's shy. Quiet!

0:15:18 > 0:15:23Chester, I was just telling them about our little tiff.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Yeah.

0:15:25 > 0:15:30Move away from the door, please. It's occupied. Move!

0:15:30 > 0:15:35On the wall right here. There's no need, really.

0:15:35 > 0:15:42Families, you know how they are. He forgot Mother's birthday.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45You two want to get down on the floor? NOW!

0:15:46 > 0:15:48Take a look.

0:15:59 > 0:16:00Expecting trouble?

0:16:00 > 0:16:05They're cataloguing the stuff now. About half of it they were able to ID on the spot.

0:16:05 > 0:16:09A warehouse order. Anything on how they got the police scanners?

0:16:09 > 0:16:15Christmas presents. That's what our fence is saying. Why did you try to rob a fence?

0:16:15 > 0:16:21I didn't know he was a fence. Anything from records?

0:16:21 > 0:16:22On their way.

0:16:22 > 0:16:27Excuse me, Miss Cagney. Haven't you been released yet?

0:16:27 > 0:16:31I'm interrupting. This is a charade!

0:16:31 > 0:16:36I'm sure your charade is more important than mine. I'll wait.

0:16:36 > 0:16:41No. I'm sorry. This is absurd. No, no, I've just been released.

0:16:41 > 0:16:47I finally reached my nephew. He brought the bail. Oh, good.

0:16:47 > 0:16:51I don't want to take up any more of your time. Where's Ralph?

0:16:51 > 0:16:54I'm sorry. I took him to my loft.

0:16:54 > 0:17:01Is this something major? Some punk tried to rob a fence. Good Lord!

0:17:01 > 0:17:05Ralph's all right. I left the TV on. He loves that. Good.

0:17:05 > 0:17:11I'll be home by 8.30. Do you want to come by tonight? That's fine. I'll get you the address.

0:17:13 > 0:17:17Something the matter? I was merely thinking of timing.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20Oh.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23Oh, thank you. Goodbye, Miss Cagney.

0:17:27 > 0:17:28I'll see you tonight.

0:17:36 > 0:17:42Want some more coffee? No, not another one, please.

0:17:42 > 0:17:43I've got to be at Macy's soon.

0:17:43 > 0:17:50Your sister. Joyce. I remember. Her husband was a dentist, right?

0:17:50 > 0:17:54Harvey... What? It's really nice seeing you again.

0:17:54 > 0:17:59And, er...let's do try and keep in touch.

0:17:59 > 0:18:03Nineteen was a good age, wasn't it? Yes.

0:18:05 > 0:18:10I have to go. Be sure and tell Mary Beth and the boys hello from me.

0:18:10 > 0:18:16How much longer will you be in town? Well, until Thursday.

0:18:16 > 0:18:19Maybe we could get together again for something to eat, drink.

0:18:19 > 0:18:25Just to fill up the holes. Well...

0:18:25 > 0:18:30This is where I'm working. Give me a call. We'll set something up.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33Whatever you want.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35OK, Harvey.

0:18:37 > 0:18:38Bye. Bye.

0:18:44 > 0:18:45Oh, God.

0:18:47 > 0:18:51Ever hear of a guy named Albert Grand?

0:18:51 > 0:18:57No. My dad used to talk about him. A very, very big hot-shot thief.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00So? So he's in Rosen's file.

0:19:00 > 0:19:05He and Grand were in prison together.

0:19:05 > 0:19:11He wrote Rosen a letter of recommendation for parole. Think they still have some connection?

0:19:11 > 0:19:15No. Grand retired years ago.

0:19:16 > 0:19:22No, we're not talking about the nickel and dime guys you get today.

0:19:22 > 0:19:29Compared to Grand, Brinks was nickel and dime. See? That big! Style! D'you know style? Yeah.

0:19:29 > 0:19:35No, you don't know. You can't. It's a whole other world, my dear.

0:19:35 > 0:19:39Here. Is that Grand's book?

0:19:39 > 0:19:44It's Classic Criminals. There's a chapter on Grand. Let me see.

0:19:44 > 0:19:48His specialty was hotels. Here. "The one that got away."

0:19:48 > 0:19:52You could only get him on some other trumped up charges - taxes.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54That's right.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57I don't believe it. What? It can't be.

0:20:06 > 0:20:11It just can't be! Released March 5th, 1974.

0:20:11 > 0:20:16Grand and Rosen met here today and he never let on. He never blinked.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18Bring him in. For what?

0:20:18 > 0:20:21The Waldorf robbery. It sounds like his MO.

0:20:21 > 0:20:26He'll be at my apartment soon. Get him! Yes, sir.

0:20:32 > 0:20:37That's weird. What? I left the TV set on. Ralph!

0:20:37 > 0:20:39Ralph!

0:20:43 > 0:20:45What?

0:20:54 > 0:20:57"Thank you."

0:20:57 > 0:20:58Huh?

0:21:06 > 0:21:09He left a $20 orchid in a glass of water?

0:21:09 > 0:21:12No, he put it in one of the vases I keep on the bookcase.

0:21:12 > 0:21:16You really think the Waldorf Hotel robbery was Grand?

0:21:16 > 0:21:21Sure fits his MO. Non-violent, very sophisticated tools.

0:21:21 > 0:21:26Used his own men as doormen and desk clerks. Ties the rest up.

0:21:26 > 0:21:33They got away with $400,000 the last three weeks. Why risk another job now? The thrill of it.

0:21:33 > 0:21:39He wrote a book in prison. I got it out the library. It was lousy.

0:21:39 > 0:21:45Wouldn't that be something if Albert Grand was back in action again?

0:21:45 > 0:21:48I think that's exactly what he'll do.

0:21:48 > 0:21:54Something daring and intricate. And embarrassing to the Department.

0:21:54 > 0:21:59He's a thief, not a movie star! PHONE RINGS

0:21:59 > 0:22:02Detective Lacey, 14th.

0:22:02 > 0:22:06Yes, sir. Christine, it's him. Albert Grand on four.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14Detective Cagney.

0:22:14 > 0:22:19'My dear, I'm so glad I caught you.' So am I.

0:22:19 > 0:22:23Thank you for taking care of my doggy.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26Somebody try and trace this call. You already have, more than enough.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28'I also wanted to apologise'

0:22:28 > 0:22:32in case I disturbed anything in your home.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35It suited me just to take the dog.

0:22:35 > 0:22:40How did you get in? You left the locks open. I never leave them open.

0:22:40 > 0:22:45I need a trace on a call. Mr Berryman...

0:22:45 > 0:22:48Er...I so enjoyed meeting you.

0:22:48 > 0:22:53I hope you don't think I'm being forward, but could we meet again?

0:22:53 > 0:22:58Maybe have a drink or take a walk in the park... Walk in the park?!

0:22:58 > 0:23:01'Unfortunately I'm leaving town soon,'

0:23:01 > 0:23:07otherwise it would have been my pleasure. I wanted to say goodbye,

0:23:07 > 0:23:10'dear Miss Cagney...'

0:23:10 > 0:23:14I suppose the cat is out of the bag. You are quick.

0:23:14 > 0:23:16We are trying to keep him on the line.

0:23:16 > 0:23:20Yeah. We found your picture in the squad room.

0:23:20 > 0:23:24But, Mr Berryman, or Mr Grand,

0:23:24 > 0:23:28I really meant what I said about wanting to meet you again.

0:23:28 > 0:23:32I've heard of you for many years. I even have a copy of your book.

0:23:32 > 0:23:37If we meet again, I'll autograph it. Would you?

0:23:37 > 0:23:44We've been on the phone for approximately one minute and fifteen seconds.

0:23:44 > 0:23:47You need at least three minutes for a trace.

0:23:47 > 0:23:50I, er...

0:23:50 > 0:23:54HE HANGS UP Thank you(!) Never mind.

0:23:54 > 0:23:59Not enough time. God, he's smooth! You're trying too hard.

0:23:59 > 0:24:06Sir, may I suggest we call the robbery squad in on this. They have more expertise. NO!

0:24:06 > 0:24:10I want us to crack this on our own. No problem.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12I'm going to do some research.

0:24:12 > 0:24:17Lacey, I think I know a guy who could help.

0:24:17 > 0:24:23Nathan Bardo, information broker. Stoolie. Give him my regards.

0:24:28 > 0:24:29So what is he? In the book?

0:24:37 > 0:24:42We're sitting and we're talking. What more do you want?

0:24:42 > 0:24:47I know that Lt Samuels would appreciate your cooperation.

0:24:47 > 0:24:53He's the reason I ain't thrown you out of here yet. That's what he is.

0:24:53 > 0:24:58Well... You ain't exactly got the lay of the land.

0:24:58 > 0:25:05Bardo's off limits to cops. That's the way it's been for 50 years.

0:25:05 > 0:25:11That's how I stay in business. I'm sure you're a very good businessman, Mr Bardo.

0:25:11 > 0:25:17When did you last see Albert Grand? Cotton Club, 40 years ago.

0:25:17 > 0:25:21Well, we were hoping to ask him some questions

0:25:21 > 0:25:24about the Waldorf robbery. Is that so?

0:25:26 > 0:25:33We also suspect that something else might be happening soon. Mm-hm.

0:25:33 > 0:25:40He uses police scanners and acetylene torches now. Got any word of that recently? Yeah.

0:25:40 > 0:25:45I've heard something. Oh, you did. So he is gonna do something?

0:25:45 > 0:25:47Yes.

0:25:51 > 0:25:52Why did you tell me?

0:25:54 > 0:25:58Mr Bert Samuels called and said let you in here.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01So I let you in here.

0:26:01 > 0:26:07Mr Bert Samuels called and said talk to you, so I talk to you.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09But Mr Bert Samuels don't own me.

0:26:09 > 0:26:14You tell Mr Bert Samuels this is gonna cost him something.

0:26:14 > 0:26:16Yes, sir. I will do that.

0:26:16 > 0:26:21Mr Albert Grand is gonna know you've been here. Yes, sir.

0:26:21 > 0:26:25You've used up your goodwill.

0:26:25 > 0:26:26Yes, sir.

0:26:34 > 0:26:39Hey, would you take this stuff? It is burning my hand. Harvey!

0:26:39 > 0:26:46You love this junk. As a kid, I did. Now I have to watch my figure.

0:26:46 > 0:26:51All the guys are watching your figure! You!

0:26:51 > 0:26:53Harvey? Huh?

0:26:53 > 0:26:56Don't you have to get back to work? You'll get in trouble.

0:26:56 > 0:26:59I'm my own boss. Am I gonna fire myself?!

0:27:02 > 0:27:04You've done all right, haven't you?

0:27:04 > 0:27:06Been a lot of years, Sandra.

0:27:06 > 0:27:11I take one look at you, it's all here again.

0:27:11 > 0:27:15Harvey... What? I don't know how to say this. Just say it.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17I want to make love to you.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22I can't.

0:27:22 > 0:27:27Forget it. I'm sorry. Just forget I said it. No, whoa, whoa!

0:27:27 > 0:27:33It's all right. I just wouldn't know where to begin. I just can't. OK?

0:27:33 > 0:27:35I understand.

0:27:35 > 0:27:39I've got a husband and you've got a wife. That's it. She's my wife.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46Sandra...hey.

0:27:49 > 0:27:51I can't because I want to.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56I've been thinking about you.

0:27:56 > 0:27:57I can't.

0:28:10 > 0:28:13That must be a pretty good book, huh?

0:28:13 > 0:28:15Mm.

0:28:15 > 0:28:20It must be a terrific book. You've been reading it for three hours!

0:28:20 > 0:28:24Albert Grand would case a hotel for six months.

0:28:24 > 0:28:28He'd rehearse three or four times to get his timing right.

0:28:28 > 0:28:30No kidding.

0:28:30 > 0:28:35Aren't you a little overenthusiastic about this?

0:28:35 > 0:28:41Did it occur to you that we met him in front of the Dunhill?

0:28:41 > 0:28:45He's a fascinating man. Oh, good. Maybe he'll invite you to dinner.

0:28:45 > 0:28:48I feel like I know him. Yeah?

0:28:48 > 0:28:50Where were you two gonna hit next?

0:28:52 > 0:28:55I'll let you know when I find out.

0:28:55 > 0:28:57Good night.

0:29:00 > 0:29:01Good night.

0:29:52 > 0:29:53Excuse me.

0:29:54 > 0:29:58Oh, excuse me. I thought you were somebody else.

0:30:05 > 0:30:08CAR HORN HOOTS

0:30:28 > 0:30:29'Detective car eleven.'

0:30:33 > 0:30:38Car eleven. 'New Jersey State Police confirm a stolen vehicle.

0:30:38 > 0:30:43'Alport Cleaners, laundry truck. Licence number XGN791.

0:30:43 > 0:30:50'Reported missing from Alport Cleaners' garage last Tuesday.' Ten-four. Request back-up.

0:30:50 > 0:30:52'Ten-four. Back-up on the way.'

0:31:15 > 0:31:16Ready?

0:31:21 > 0:31:25Police! Stop what you're doing. What's the problem?

0:31:25 > 0:31:30No problem. Just up against the wall.

0:31:30 > 0:31:33Up against the wall! Turn around. You, around!

0:31:45 > 0:31:47Argh!

0:32:09 > 0:32:15You're lucky you weren't killed. He could have killed me, but he didn't. Why were you there?

0:32:15 > 0:32:21That's where we first met Grand. So what? You have to know Grand.

0:32:21 > 0:32:23You have to feel the way he thinks.

0:32:23 > 0:32:29Oh, and you do? I do. All right, I'll buy what you're saying.

0:32:29 > 0:32:33You saw the police walkie-talkies, all that stuff fits Grand's MO,

0:32:33 > 0:32:39but he'll stay underground. This was too close a call. I don't think so.

0:32:39 > 0:32:41Oh, you don't think so? No, I don't.

0:32:41 > 0:32:45He came this close to being burnt!

0:32:45 > 0:32:53Maybe what I tripped on was only a rehearsal. If it was, he won't go through with the robbery now.

0:32:53 > 0:32:59He's not gonna back off. You're really committed to this. You bet.

0:32:59 > 0:33:01Well...

0:33:02 > 0:33:06Well, we could open the door on his pal Rosen.

0:33:06 > 0:33:10That might give us a lead if anything's happening.

0:33:10 > 0:33:12Cagney. Yes, sir?

0:33:12 > 0:33:17Don't go walking around the streets by yourself at night. Yes, sir.

0:33:17 > 0:33:22Cagney. YES? Don't be impatient with me either.

0:33:22 > 0:33:27Yes, sir. You beat Albert Grand, there's promotion in it for you.

0:33:30 > 0:33:38Heard Chris had a close one last night. Yeah. You're really after Grand. One of us is.

0:33:38 > 0:33:40Petrie! I got something for you.

0:34:14 > 0:34:16I can't believe you're eating that.

0:34:16 > 0:34:19It's protein. I've been saving it since this morning.

0:34:22 > 0:34:26This guy must hold the record for the longest shoe-shine in history.

0:34:28 > 0:34:29Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!

0:34:31 > 0:34:33He's making his move.

0:34:38 > 0:34:41There he goes. I'm never going to be able to finish that.

0:34:54 > 0:34:56I don't believe it. We lost him!

0:34:59 > 0:35:00There. Come on.

0:35:09 > 0:35:11Get the button.

0:35:19 > 0:35:23How could you possibly follow the wrong guy out of an elevator?

0:35:23 > 0:35:29If Samuels wants to bust my chops... We're not. ..but you don't have the right. Like hell!

0:35:29 > 0:35:31Cagney! In here.

0:35:38 > 0:35:42Are you satisfied? Don't talk to me like that. We blew it.

0:35:42 > 0:35:48You will NEVER call one of my people incompetent again! D'you understand?

0:35:48 > 0:35:52I do. I overreacted. Yes, you did.

0:35:52 > 0:35:55Petrie is one of the best, most intuitive cops I ever worked with.

0:35:55 > 0:35:58Isbecki...is solid.

0:35:58 > 0:36:02I'm sure there were extenuating circumstances

0:36:02 > 0:36:03to their losing the tail.

0:36:03 > 0:36:06I'm sure that's very gracious of you.

0:36:06 > 0:36:11I think you're miffed because your little theory was shot all to hell.

0:36:11 > 0:36:15I don't see any reason... You had the Dunhill on the brain,

0:36:15 > 0:36:19then suddenly Rosen veered to a totally different hotel.

0:36:19 > 0:36:25Grand is that good, Cagney. That's why he is who he is. Beat it.

0:36:42 > 0:36:47TV PLAYS These guys on TV, they kill me.

0:36:47 > 0:36:52This stuff's got nothing to do with reality. That's why I watch it.

0:36:52 > 0:36:56I didn't think your reality was all that bad.

0:36:56 > 0:36:58Parts of my reality are terrific.

0:37:01 > 0:37:03Hey, I'm sorry.

0:37:03 > 0:37:06I just had a bad day.

0:37:06 > 0:37:10You wouldn't believe how lousy... Look, look.

0:37:10 > 0:37:14Mary Beth... Here come the guns. Those guys draw their guns more

0:37:14 > 0:37:17on one show than I do in a year.

0:37:17 > 0:37:20Mary Beth... Hm?

0:37:20 > 0:37:22What? I love you.

0:37:24 > 0:37:28I love you. Did I miss something?

0:37:28 > 0:37:30I just wanted you to know.

0:37:30 > 0:37:32I know.

0:37:37 > 0:37:39Look at that!

0:38:28 > 0:38:33Tough being left out of things, isn't it?

0:38:33 > 0:38:38It's her thing! This is just one race she's running alone.

0:38:38 > 0:38:42Would you get outta here?! Mary Beth. Yeah?

0:38:42 > 0:38:44It's tough being left out of things.

0:38:56 > 0:39:00You've got "Park Crest" written 300 times on that piece of paper.

0:39:00 > 0:39:01I know it.

0:39:01 > 0:39:04I didn't get to bed till four this morning.

0:39:07 > 0:39:09I can't stop thinking about him.

0:39:11 > 0:39:15Christine, what you are doing here is not normal.

0:39:15 > 0:39:19This man is all you think about. You want work, we got work here.

0:39:19 > 0:39:22He's in your thoughts all the time. You hardly know him.

0:39:22 > 0:39:27But I feel like I know him better than my own father!

0:39:27 > 0:39:31You need a head doctor, Christine. Maybe I do.

0:39:40 > 0:39:45He's world-class, Mary Beth. Think about that. World-class.

0:39:45 > 0:39:50Oh. So the one who catches him is also world-class?

0:39:50 > 0:39:52PHONE RINGS

0:39:52 > 0:39:55Detective Lacey, 14th.

0:39:56 > 0:39:59Yes, sir... Yes, sir.

0:40:01 > 0:40:02Were there any witnesses?

0:40:05 > 0:40:10Yes, sir. If uniforms aren't there within ten minutes, call me back.

0:40:10 > 0:40:14Detective Lacey... Yes, sir. Thank you.

0:40:14 > 0:40:20A laundry truck has been stolen. So what? An Alport Cleaners' truck.

0:40:20 > 0:40:25Wasn't Albert Grand in an Alport Cleaners' truck at the Dunhill? Huh?

0:40:28 > 0:40:31He did that to throw us off.

0:40:31 > 0:40:36How? Alport Cleaners service the Park Crest, not the Dunhill.

0:40:36 > 0:40:41How do you know that? I called yesterday and found out.

0:40:41 > 0:40:45He's gonna do it! He's gonna hit the Park Crest.

0:40:45 > 0:40:50Come on! I'm coming. If a man calls me back in ten minutes...

0:40:50 > 0:40:52Slow down and we'll get there!

0:40:52 > 0:40:57He's good. All that jive about the Dunhill!

0:40:57 > 0:40:58Hey...

0:40:58 > 0:41:03I'm getting him, Mary Beth. I'm getting Albert Grand.

0:41:03 > 0:41:11'All units in the vicinity of the Park Crest Hotel, possible 1030 in progress.'

0:41:11 > 0:41:15Tell them we have it. Christine says we have it.

0:42:02 > 0:42:09Police, sir. Where are they? Everything is in order. May I look in your vault room? This way.

0:42:09 > 0:42:11Christine. What?

0:42:11 > 0:42:14Chris, that's Rosen.

0:42:16 > 0:42:20It's a ruse. He faked me out. He's hitting the Dunhill!

0:42:55 > 0:42:59You the manager? Yeah. Police. We think you're being robbed.

0:42:59 > 0:43:04Really? We haven't had any reports. Where are your safe-deposit boxes?

0:43:04 > 0:43:07In the vault, on the second floor. Take us there!

0:43:19 > 0:43:20Timing.

0:43:25 > 0:43:29This hotel has a security system that cost $1.2 million!

0:43:29 > 0:43:31Well, you should have spent more.

0:43:31 > 0:43:33Hey, hey, hey, keep cool!

0:43:40 > 0:43:42Can you smell it?

0:43:42 > 0:43:47Oil? No, coolant. Where do you get your information? Stand back, sir.

0:44:00 > 0:44:03We can cordon the area off. Christine! What?! It's OVER.

0:44:03 > 0:44:06You gave it your best shot.

0:44:09 > 0:44:11Let's see what's missing.

0:44:11 > 0:44:15Don't touch anything. Don't touch it, sir.

0:44:36 > 0:44:40GRAND: 'Hello, Christine. I'm going now.

0:44:40 > 0:44:43'I hope this message is some small consolation.

0:44:43 > 0:44:48'You see, no-one ever came closer.

0:44:48 > 0:44:50'No-one.'

0:44:50 > 0:44:51Dammit.

0:44:58 > 0:45:01'..some small consolation.

0:45:01 > 0:45:05'You see, no-one ever came closer.

0:45:05 > 0:45:07'No-one.'

0:45:16 > 0:45:18'Hello, Christine.'
