0:01:30 > 0:01:35Excuse me, sir. I thought there was going to be four of you.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38Isn't one of me enough?

0:01:38 > 0:01:43Come on, Isbecki. That's the worst line I've ever heard.

0:01:43 > 0:01:49'Would you like to order? I was thinking of a little takeout.' This'll be worse!

0:01:49 > 0:01:53TOGETHER: After work, if you're free.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56I'm sorry. I'm not on the menu.

0:01:56 > 0:01:59Very nice. Way to tell him, lady!

0:01:59 > 0:02:05'I don't really care, but to tell you the truth, Christine Cagney,'

0:02:05 > 0:02:07I long only for you.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10'I pine for you.

0:02:10 > 0:02:14'I yearn for you. I burn for you.'

0:02:14 > 0:02:19Wake me when he says something interesting. 'I got some company.'

0:02:19 > 0:02:22Are you from Tony Brown?

0:02:22 > 0:02:25Yo.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28Yo? Undercover Sylvester Stallone?!

0:02:28 > 0:02:33Tony said you might have some chauffeur work. Maybe.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35No ham in the egg foo yung!

0:02:35 > 0:02:38I've been stealing cars all my life.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41Why don't you cool it with the...?

0:02:41 > 0:02:45I can't eat this spicy garbage. I'll get heartburn.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48Give me your shopping list and I'll get it.

0:02:48 > 0:02:53My problem's selling 'em. Where do you guys unload...?

0:02:53 > 0:02:57It's none of your business! Don't be nervous.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01Selling 'em is stupid. A new Porsche is worth 25 thou.

0:03:01 > 0:03:05Chop that same car into parts and sell 'em separate

0:03:05 > 0:03:09and you get 60 grand and no registration problems.

0:03:09 > 0:03:13How much do I get? A hundred and a half per.

0:03:13 > 0:03:18Two. What kind of Chinese is this? They don't even have chop suey!

0:03:18 > 0:03:23Get off my case! Can't we go to Fung Ling, Joe?

0:03:23 > 0:03:26All right, Fung Ling.

0:03:26 > 0:03:30'Do you mind? Fung Ling?'

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Where's that? This way.

0:03:34 > 0:03:38Aren't we going to follow? I know Fung Ling.

0:03:38 > 0:03:42We'll get there first, be less conspicuous.

0:03:42 > 0:03:46I just had a taste for Italian. You know that new place?

0:03:46 > 0:03:49Yeah, that sounds good.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51Chinese, damn it! Go to Fung Ling!

0:03:51 > 0:03:55'What about you guys? That's OK with me.'

0:03:55 > 0:03:58Isbecki, find out where it is!

0:03:58 > 0:04:03What's the name of the restaurant again? Why? Are you writing a book?

0:04:03 > 0:04:09'I want to know where I'm eating. I only remember it's Italian.'

0:04:09 > 0:04:11We've got to go back. Turn here.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16Oh, my Lord!

0:04:16 > 0:04:20Back it up, back it up! I can't!

0:04:20 > 0:04:25HORNS BLARE Back it up! Move it, damn it!

0:04:25 > 0:04:27Will you guys move out of the way?

0:04:29 > 0:04:31Hey, wait, Joe.

0:04:31 > 0:04:35You say you know Tony Brown from school, right?

0:04:35 > 0:04:40Yeah, right. Where did you go to school, man? Harlem?

0:04:40 > 0:04:44Yeah. You know what? You're a liar, man!

0:04:44 > 0:04:48What do you guys think you're doing?

0:04:48 > 0:04:51Wait, Joe, look. This guy's a cop!

0:04:51 > 0:04:53'What are we going to do with a cop?

0:04:53 > 0:04:56'Let me get the wires.'

0:04:58 > 0:05:02Damn it, damn it! We've got an emergency here.

0:05:02 > 0:05:07We got a 10-50... Come on! We got a kidnap in progress.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10SIREN WAILS

0:05:10 > 0:05:13We've got to assume his life's in danger.

0:05:13 > 0:05:17These guys are small-time car thieves, not cop killers.

0:05:17 > 0:05:21You back an animal into a corner, he becomes a killer.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24I've got to figure they'll kill Isbecki.

0:05:24 > 0:05:28Petrie, you know Tony Brown? Yeah, from my days in Harlem.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31You find him cos he's the key.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33LaGuardia, Davidson, hit the files.

0:05:33 > 0:05:37We're looking for felons recently released or on parole.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40Cagney, Lacey, check out salvage operators.

0:05:40 > 0:05:45We're staying on this until we get Isbecki!

0:05:46 > 0:05:50'We're looking for a front end on a '76 Stingray.'

0:05:50 > 0:05:58Let me call you back. Can we stick to the subject? Did he say a front end? Yeah. Can we get back to...?

0:05:58 > 0:06:02I've got a rear end '75, but you wouldn't want that.

0:06:02 > 0:06:06PHONE RINGS Hello? He hung up. He'll call back.

0:06:06 > 0:06:10We're talking about chop shops in the area.

0:06:10 > 0:06:16They got 'em everywhere. I know. Very big operation in Chicago.

0:06:16 > 0:06:20PHONE RINGS They'll call back.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23You've got a bad attitude, bright eyes.

0:06:23 > 0:06:27I'm just trying here. I don't run a chop shop here.

0:06:27 > 0:06:34I would if I had the Mediterranean back-up. So you'd be a felon if you could get away with it?

0:06:34 > 0:06:40They're making out a lot better than I am! Cos they underbid? Bingo!

0:06:40 > 0:06:46A call comes over that speaker for a part, Joe Blow offers bottom-line price.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49Then the chop shop guys drop the price by 100.

0:06:49 > 0:06:56They might not even have the part, but they get one of their boppers to go and steal that part.

0:06:56 > 0:07:00PHONE RINGS That's my telephone!

0:07:00 > 0:07:07Do you know anybody in the area doing heavy underbidding? Everyone. No-one. Cut the tap dance.

0:07:07 > 0:07:12A cop's life is in danger. So the world stops turning?

0:07:12 > 0:07:18'Anybody got a five-speed transmission for an old Fox?' Mr Boston, if you hear anything

0:07:18 > 0:07:21over the loudspeaker... I'll call.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25After I call them to see if they'll sell ME a franchise!

0:07:25 > 0:07:28PHONE RINGS Hello?

0:07:30 > 0:07:33Another three inches.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35Keep going, that's it.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51Thanks.

0:07:51 > 0:07:56My cousin's been looking for a door for his Maserati for six months.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58Yeah? We get 'em in here all the time.

0:07:58 > 0:08:03How much? I don't know, but you won't find a better deal.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06Hey, Dave! Come in here a second!

0:08:12 > 0:08:15We gotta snuff him.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17I ain't gonna murder nobody.

0:08:17 > 0:08:21Just check yourself. It could come down to you or him.

0:08:21 > 0:08:25Our benefactors are in no mood to play. Billy?

0:08:25 > 0:08:29Wait, Joe. Your good friend, Tony Brown.

0:08:29 > 0:08:33Yeah? Did he burn us?

0:08:33 > 0:08:35Huh?

0:09:13 > 0:09:17Mr Fisher? What's the word now?

0:09:19 > 0:09:22Officer Petrie, long time no see.

0:09:22 > 0:09:26Detective. You know I copped a gold shield, brother.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28I heard. Congratulations.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31I'm looking for Tony B.

0:09:31 > 0:09:35You been over to his place? Yeah.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38Well, I haven't seen him.

0:09:38 > 0:09:42Well, if you do, give me a holler, man.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45I'm over at 14th.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49Mm-hm.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02Help! Help!

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Help this woman.

0:10:10 > 0:10:14Police!

0:10:16 > 0:10:19Halt! Halt!

0:10:23 > 0:10:25Police!

0:10:25 > 0:10:29Excuse me, Officer. Excuse me, Officer.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31Excuse me, Officer.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34Police!

0:10:45 > 0:10:47Halt! Don't do it!

0:10:49 > 0:10:52Don't do it! GUNSHOT

0:11:28 > 0:11:33Try salvage yards, repair shops, see who underbids.

0:11:33 > 0:11:36Did you find anything? No luck. Anything here?

0:11:36 > 0:11:41Petrie shot an 18-year-old purse snatcher up in Harlem. Kid's dead.

0:11:41 > 0:11:45Oh, Lord! How's Marcus? OK. Can you help me out?

0:11:45 > 0:11:49I've got a thousand of these things. You got Manhattan?

0:11:49 > 0:11:52Yeah. I'll take Queens.

0:11:53 > 0:11:58Yeah, hello, I'm looking for a transmission for an '81 380 SL.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00What's your lowest bid?

0:12:00 > 0:12:03Did you find anything? No. Are you OK?

0:12:03 > 0:12:08He drew, I fired. What did the Duty Captain say? Justifiable.

0:12:08 > 0:12:14I've got to find Tony Brown. They're making me wait for the review board interview!

0:12:14 > 0:12:19You want to do the Bronx? Sure. We're looking for the lowest bidder.

0:12:19 > 0:12:25Detective Petrie, can I have a word with you? Daniels, can I help you?

0:12:25 > 0:12:27We need Detective Petrie's photo.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30Press release. Towards what end?

0:12:30 > 0:12:34Community relations, image enhancement.

0:12:34 > 0:12:40Black child killed by a cop, but show my face, everyone'll stay cool.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43We don't want incidents like that in Miami.

0:12:43 > 0:12:47I'm the poster boy in a racist publicity game? I need this

0:12:47 > 0:12:51for this afternoon's paper. No, you don't!

0:12:51 > 0:12:55Hold it. I need Petrie in Harlem. His partner is missing.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58Print his photo and you take his shield away!

0:12:58 > 0:13:02We're dealing with a case of greater evil.

0:13:02 > 0:13:06You wouldn't want my picture if I were white!

0:13:06 > 0:13:10Maybe you wouldn't have shot so fast if the kid was.

0:13:10 > 0:13:15I'm not going to debate. This order comes from the top.

0:13:15 > 0:13:20Either Detective Petrie complies or I bring him up on charges.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22Detective Petrie? What?

0:13:22 > 0:13:24Give me that!

0:13:24 > 0:13:26Easy, easy.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29Right, get out of here!

0:13:29 > 0:13:31Sorry. I lost my temper.

0:13:33 > 0:13:37Al Burnley. The last address we had was 39...

0:13:37 > 0:13:41Don't give me that, Wilson. I'll do it myself!

0:13:41 > 0:13:46PHONE RINGS 14th Squad, Detective Lacey, may I help you...?

0:13:46 > 0:13:47Just a moment, sir.

0:13:47 > 0:13:51Christine, pick up on three. Petrie, trace on three.

0:13:51 > 0:13:55Yes, sir? My partner's on the line. This is Cagney.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58I know where your cop is. Where?

0:13:58 > 0:14:03Slow down. I'm a cutter in a chop shop. You know what that is?

0:14:03 > 0:14:06Yes. I'm greedy, but no killer.

0:14:06 > 0:14:12Is he going to be killed? Unless you can give me immunity. We can try.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14You better do it! We can do it.

0:14:14 > 0:14:19The DA's office will want you to testify. No way.

0:14:19 > 0:14:20You want to play?

0:14:20 > 0:14:25I want it on the immunity paper that I don't turn state's evidence!

0:14:25 > 0:14:28I'm gonna call you back at three o'clock.

0:14:28 > 0:14:33I want you to bring the papers over and I'm going to read 'em.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36If they're OK, you get your cop.

0:14:36 > 0:14:40LINE GOES DEAD Nothing.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42Three.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45Do you think he'll deliver? It's the only lead we've got.

0:14:45 > 0:14:49We need it by three. I'll get it.

0:14:49 > 0:14:52He wants no state's evidence on the papers. You agreed to that?

0:14:52 > 0:14:55He gave us no choice.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58Sorry, sir. The DA's going to want a pound of flesh?

0:14:58 > 0:15:00That I wouldn't mind. He'll want my soul!

0:15:04 > 0:15:07I'll go check the back-up.

0:15:11 > 0:15:19Marcus! Well? The Duty Captain says you can't go on back-up until you've finished the FRB interview.

0:15:19 > 0:15:23What the hell do I do? If Samuels isn't back in 12 minutes,

0:15:23 > 0:15:25it won't make a difference.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29Hey, Marcus, can I talk?

0:15:29 > 0:15:36I know we're in an emergency situation, so you haven't had time to sort out your stuff. What stuff?

0:15:36 > 0:15:42About the shoot. What stuff about the shoot? The perp had a gun.

0:15:42 > 0:15:47Don't play me off, Petrie. I know. I killed a kid last year, remember?

0:15:47 > 0:15:53I know all about that Superman on the job business. You do? Yes.

0:15:53 > 0:16:00Once we find Isbecki, you must go over your feelings about shooting that boy. It's my job.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03Punch in, have a coffee, take a life, punch out?

0:16:07 > 0:16:10You better get back in there. You'll miss the call.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32We'll find him, Chris.

0:16:32 > 0:16:36I should have waited at the restaurant. I blew it.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39A simple tail and I blew it.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42It was a judgement call. And I blew it.

0:16:42 > 0:16:46Isbecki could die cos I screwed up. We will find him!

0:16:46 > 0:16:48PHONE RINGS

0:16:50 > 0:16:54He's five minutes early. Where is Samuels? I don't know. Stall.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58This is Detective Cagney.

0:16:59 > 0:17:02Yes, I have the papers right here.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04I'm here.

0:17:04 > 0:17:07Yes, I have them right in my hand.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10Exactly as you asked. No testimony.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13All right, give me the address.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16I know where it is.

0:17:16 > 0:17:20All right, 20 minutes. We'll be there.

0:17:20 > 0:17:24Where? Soho. Here's the address. Warn the back-up.

0:17:24 > 0:17:28I got it, but it's contingent on him being a material witness.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31The DA wasn't interested in my flesh.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33The pick-up is in Soho. He won't go for it. Convince him.

0:17:33 > 0:17:38Follow him if you have to. Just get Isbecki back.

0:17:38 > 0:17:43'Testing, testing. Can you hear me?' I read you loud and clear.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45What's the plan?

0:17:45 > 0:17:48I don't know.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51We'll figure it out when we get there.

0:17:51 > 0:17:54If we get there!

0:17:56 > 0:17:59HORN BLARES

0:18:05 > 0:18:10If he knows we're looking for him and I'm sure he does...

0:18:10 > 0:18:15Did you try Silky's? What about Dee Hawkins. She should know... What?

0:18:15 > 0:18:20You're a detective. Use your imagination. Tony Brown is no fool!

0:18:20 > 0:18:23Taubman... Yeah, yeah.

0:18:23 > 0:18:28Yeah, yeah! What's going on around here? This place is like a morgue.

0:18:28 > 0:18:33I saw your photograph on the City desk. What happened out there?

0:18:33 > 0:18:36Read the press. Marcus, I need a story.

0:18:36 > 0:18:41I can't discuss the circumstances of the shooting.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44Let's talk about your reaction to the incident. Let's not.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47It's bad enough having my picture in the papers.

0:18:47 > 0:18:52That was done without your consent? I can't talk to you.

0:18:52 > 0:18:55Off the record, then. Why?

0:18:55 > 0:18:59I'm curious. No. I've got work.

0:18:59 > 0:19:03They're running your photo to cool off tempers uptown.

0:19:03 > 0:19:05You're a political pawn.

0:19:05 > 0:19:13It wasn't my idea. What about allegations that cops enter a black area with a hand on their revolvers

0:19:13 > 0:19:15and the other hand over their eyes?

0:19:15 > 0:19:19That wouldn't apply in my case.

0:19:19 > 0:19:23Had dinner in Harlem recently? Three Sundays ago. Why?

0:19:23 > 0:19:27A thoroughly assimilated black man like yourself

0:19:27 > 0:19:30could be diseased with the same fears as a white man.

0:19:30 > 0:19:37You're reaching. Am I? I don't go uptown without a whistle and mace in my tennis shoes.

0:19:37 > 0:19:42I admit it. Why can't you? Miss Sutter, you have to leave.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44The cavalry.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48Take care, Detective Petrie.

0:19:51 > 0:19:56The Lieutenant from the Firearms Review Board is here for your interview now.

0:19:56 > 0:19:59Don't worry about it. Looks good.

0:19:59 > 0:20:03Any word on Tony Brown? No, not yet.

0:20:20 > 0:20:23That kid thinks we're being silly.

0:20:23 > 0:20:28We look silly. I didn't think they had these things. He's watching us.

0:20:28 > 0:20:33He wants us both in the same booth. PHONE RINGS

0:20:33 > 0:20:40I wish I knew where he was calling from. Your guess is as bad as mine. Back-up, stand by.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42You take it. You've got the wire.

0:20:43 > 0:20:50'Hello?' OK. So far, so good. This is how we're going to do this thing. 'Hold it.'

0:20:50 > 0:20:54You're probably watching us, so you can see I have the papers.

0:20:54 > 0:20:58We'll start doing things differently.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00Forget it. You could be charged

0:21:00 > 0:21:06with conspiracy to murder a police officer. You want a dead detective?

0:21:06 > 0:21:10Not to mention prosecution for transporting stolen goods

0:21:10 > 0:21:13across state lines. At least 30 years.

0:21:13 > 0:21:18The deal's off! Wait a minute. Let's not blow this!

0:21:18 > 0:21:23I'm just saying you can't get total immunity without some concessions.

0:21:23 > 0:21:28We're going to do this thing my way or we ain't going to do it at all.

0:21:28 > 0:21:29What's your way?

0:21:29 > 0:21:34OK, listen. You have your partner open the door.

0:21:34 > 0:21:38Open the door. He says open the door.

0:21:42 > 0:21:47'OK, good. There's a little girl with a ball. She's gonna come over.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50'I want you to give her the papers.

0:21:52 > 0:22:00'OK, she's gonna bring the papers over to me. Sit tight. You and your friend wait there in the booth.'

0:22:00 > 0:22:03LINE GOES DEAD

0:22:03 > 0:22:06He'll never accept those papers.

0:22:06 > 0:22:09The kid went round the corner.

0:22:09 > 0:22:16Next move? I don't know. We can't wait here. We'd better take the kid while we can.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18Back-up, we're moving. Get her!

0:22:22 > 0:22:25SIRENS WAIL

0:22:25 > 0:22:28Hey! Hey, come here!

0:22:31 > 0:22:33Watch the car! Watch the car!

0:22:33 > 0:22:39He told me if you followed me to run round the corner and give this back to you!

0:22:39 > 0:22:43Where is he? He was in a coffee shop.

0:22:43 > 0:22:46All right. Easy.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48Damn it!

0:23:14 > 0:23:17Hey, Joe!

0:23:17 > 0:23:20How about some water?

0:23:46 > 0:23:48OK.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52Aagh!

0:23:52 > 0:23:55Hey, come here!

0:24:06 > 0:24:09Yeah, do it!

0:24:15 > 0:24:18PHONE RINGS

0:24:18 > 0:24:20Detective Cagney?

0:24:20 > 0:24:23'Which one are you?' Excuse me?

0:24:23 > 0:24:27This is Mel Boston, Advance and Boston Salvage.

0:24:27 > 0:24:34You have something for us? 'Is this the one with the blue eyes?' What is this garbage?

0:24:34 > 0:24:38That's you! Cagney, Lacey, Lacey, Cagney.

0:24:38 > 0:24:44'It's all the frick and frack to me.' Mr Boston, do you have anything for me or not?

0:24:44 > 0:24:49You have eyes like a Siberian husky. I'm hanging up. Wait!

0:24:49 > 0:24:56The guy's name is Stobbart. He runs an operation called Stallion Salvage.

0:24:56 > 0:25:01Is he an underbidder? Yeah, one of them. You didn't get that from me.

0:25:01 > 0:25:07Thank you. 'Hey, wait. You know, you've got a very cute nose too.'

0:25:12 > 0:25:16Hello. What can I do for you? We'd like to look around.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19You have a warrant? Do we need one?

0:25:19 > 0:25:24No, I'm a little tired. What are you looking for?

0:25:24 > 0:25:29Stolen vehicles. If you find any, it'll be news to me, but be my guest.

0:25:29 > 0:25:34Thank you. If I can help you in any way, I'll be inside.

0:25:40 > 0:25:43Where do we start? Do I know?

0:25:47 > 0:25:52If Stobbart is involved in this, he sure is cool about it.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54What are we doing here?

0:25:54 > 0:25:58Wasting our time. He wouldn't be hiding Isbecki here.

0:25:58 > 0:26:05So we're back to square one. Let's see what the computer turns up on Stobbart. That's gruesome!

0:26:05 > 0:26:09I don't think the cars feel it.

0:26:31 > 0:26:34Hey, Joe.

0:26:34 > 0:26:39If it was for me, I hope you told her I was all tied up tonight.

0:26:40 > 0:26:43Hey, you could at least laugh.

0:26:53 > 0:26:57When you're finished with the Porsche, we go.

0:26:57 > 0:27:00You go.

0:27:00 > 0:27:02WE go. All of us.

0:27:02 > 0:27:06Hey, Joe. How come we all have to go?

0:27:06 > 0:27:10That's how the order came down. I don't like it.

0:27:10 > 0:27:14Who gives a damn? Hurry up with that car!

0:27:39 > 0:27:43They haven't found a thing! Lieutenant! They won't!

0:27:43 > 0:27:50They're not making any progress. Juvenile care. They've got a suspect - grand larceny auto.

0:27:50 > 0:27:54Worked in a chop shop. Isbecki's mother called. Thanks.

0:27:54 > 0:27:59I can find Tony Brown. Taubman's got your list.

0:27:59 > 0:28:04Brown won't surface without some first-hand information. I'll get it.

0:28:04 > 0:28:08Have you reached Morgan? Not yet. Stay on it.

0:28:08 > 0:28:14What do you say? No. You're on modified assignment until the FRB completes that report.

0:28:14 > 0:28:21That's a technicality. Look at this and tell me how much good you'll do in Harlem!

0:28:21 > 0:28:28Anything? No, sir. We're waiting on the Feds. Chop shop, got out a month ago.

0:28:28 > 0:28:33It's a long shot, but... I want you to go over and see Isbecki's mother.

0:28:33 > 0:28:40What are we looking for? He left some case notes there. Petrie, interrogate this kid. What kid?

0:28:40 > 0:28:45GLA suspect, stealing cars for a chop shop. Thank you, sir.

0:28:45 > 0:28:51Wait. Cagney, you see Mrs Isbecki alone. Lacey, you go with Petrie.

0:28:51 > 0:28:55Why does she have to go with me? Because I said so.

0:28:55 > 0:29:02I don't need a baby-sitter. Don't be the great white father. I have my own father!

0:29:02 > 0:29:08Why won't you people let me do my job? Enough! Lacey, watch out for him.

0:29:08 > 0:29:13He's gonna hate it. I gave you an order. Watch out for him! Yes, sir.

0:29:25 > 0:29:30My boy isn't talking, so truck on back to the Precinct. Pardon?

0:29:30 > 0:29:34I'm the court-appointed counsel for Alfred Perdiz

0:29:34 > 0:29:39who is exercising his constitutional right to remain silent.

0:29:39 > 0:29:44There's a detective out there whose life is in danger!

0:29:44 > 0:29:49The only life I'm concerned with is Alfred's. We're not gonna hurt him.

0:29:49 > 0:29:55And you got some nice story about the tooth fairy? See you in the courthouse.

0:29:55 > 0:29:57You enjoy this! Petrie!

0:29:57 > 0:30:03You're lucky I got a bad memory. I'm gonna forget you ever laid a hand on me.

0:30:03 > 0:30:08I'm gonna find Tony Brown. You can't go to Harlem. It's dangerous.

0:30:08 > 0:30:13Isbecki will die. Go back to the Precinct. I'll grab a cab uptown.

0:30:13 > 0:30:19No. Come back to work with me or I'm going up there with you. You and me, fella.

0:30:39 > 0:30:41Hey, baby.

0:30:43 > 0:30:45Yo, Jimmy, what it be like?

0:30:45 > 0:30:50Don't shoot! Back off that stuff! You know me.

0:30:50 > 0:30:52Yeah.

0:30:52 > 0:30:58I'm looking for Tony B. Tony B, Tony B... Who?

0:31:00 > 0:31:03Who?

0:31:06 > 0:31:11Do you always use black as a second language when you come uptown?

0:31:11 > 0:31:13Yes.

0:31:13 > 0:31:19I suppose we make an attractive couple - killer cop and his white broad.

0:31:19 > 0:31:22I bet.

0:31:28 > 0:31:33I hope you don't hate me for saying this, Marcus. I'm scared.

0:31:33 > 0:31:35So am I.

0:31:42 > 0:31:49What did Mrs Isbecki say? She hopes Victor will settle down with a nice girl. Come on! I'm telling you!

0:31:49 > 0:31:57Victor wanted to be a Wild West gunfighter, not a policeman. If you live in Brooklyn, what can you do?

0:31:57 > 0:32:01Did she have anything on his case notes? Yeah.

0:32:01 > 0:32:03Here.

0:32:04 > 0:32:11"Warriors, plus 5?, Clippers, Jazz plus 10, Celtics plus 6..." What the hell is this?

0:32:11 > 0:32:15His basketball points spread. That's terrific(!)

0:32:28 > 0:32:30WHISPERING

0:32:45 > 0:32:47It's quarter to four.

0:32:47 > 0:32:54I'll give him three more minutes. If he doesn't deliver an address, we move on.

0:32:54 > 0:32:58I don't know where. We've hit all the spots I know.

0:32:58 > 0:33:03Tony knows we're looking for him unless the chop shop boys found him.

0:33:03 > 0:33:06How's Lauren?

0:33:06 > 0:33:08Well...

0:33:08 > 0:33:14Yeah, Lauren... She already has a twinkle in her eye, just like Claudia.

0:33:15 > 0:33:18She sees everything.

0:33:19 > 0:33:24I think she senses when I'm not all together. She gives me this look.

0:33:25 > 0:33:28Somehow I know that she knows

0:33:28 > 0:33:34and I feel like I've... I feel like I've already got a new best friend.

0:33:35 > 0:33:40He has to be around here somewhere. Harlem's not that big.

0:33:40 > 0:33:44It's big enough to get lost in. That's true.

0:33:48 > 0:33:51This place seems so different now.

0:33:54 > 0:34:01I used to think Harlem was the only place in the city that didn't smell like old tar.

0:34:06 > 0:34:12When I walked the beat up here, it was like preserving a shrine, you know?

0:34:12 > 0:34:16I knew there was a lot wrong here. There's too many people.

0:34:16 > 0:34:19Too few jobs, no money,

0:34:19 > 0:34:23bad housing, but I'd walk past the Schomburg Library

0:34:23 > 0:34:26or the Apollo and...

0:34:26 > 0:34:28magic.

0:34:30 > 0:34:33Now it just seems like a slum to me.

0:34:34 > 0:34:37A slum? Not the place, the people.

0:34:37 > 0:34:39Where is this man?

0:34:39 > 0:34:42Maybe we oughta try Silky's again.

0:34:42 > 0:34:49Can I have the check, babe? Be right there, honey. Patience is a virtue, Marcus. Give him a few minutes.

0:34:49 > 0:34:52You're right. Slow down, Marcus.

0:34:52 > 0:34:59I'm really messing up. You're the best detective in the squad. Everybody knows it. Not today.

0:34:59 > 0:35:03When that boy attacked that old woman...

0:35:03 > 0:35:07I almost wanted to walk away from it.

0:35:07 > 0:35:09I didn't care.

0:35:09 > 0:35:14Not about the old woman or the boy. I just did my job.

0:35:16 > 0:35:21Maybe I could have talked the kid down.

0:35:21 > 0:35:23But I didn't try.

0:35:23 > 0:35:30I wanted to make sure I didn't die at the hands of someone I had no respect for.

0:35:30 > 0:35:32I shot quickly because I...

0:35:34 > 0:35:37No, I sh...

0:35:37 > 0:35:39No.

0:35:41 > 0:35:45I killed a boy because he was black.

0:35:47 > 0:35:50Harlem hasn't changed. I've changed.

0:35:50 > 0:35:57I've become like everybody else on the outside - prejudiced, afraid, even repulsed.

0:35:57 > 0:36:04Claudia and I have accomplished a lot. Yes. We've tried so hard to make it.

0:36:04 > 0:36:06Now I can't see the magic.

0:36:09 > 0:36:17You want my two cents? You didn't shoot that kid because he was black, but because he had a gun.

0:36:21 > 0:36:24I don't know that.

0:36:24 > 0:36:31He had a gun and he would have killed Lauren's best friend. Here you go.

0:36:31 > 0:36:33Thank you.

0:36:39 > 0:36:42We've got it.

0:37:17 > 0:37:19BANG ON DOOR

0:37:19 > 0:37:22Who is it? Marcus Petrie.

0:37:24 > 0:37:27Go to hell, John Wayne! Hi, Tony.

0:37:27 > 0:37:30Back up two steps.

0:37:33 > 0:37:38Brother Petrie, what seems to be the problem?

0:37:38 > 0:37:45We've been looking for you. You have? You know we have. Are you hiding from us, Tony?

0:37:45 > 0:37:50No, man. This is my lady's place. I'm here.

0:37:50 > 0:37:54The set-up with Isbecki fell apart. You're kidding?

0:37:54 > 0:37:56They're gonna kill him now.

0:37:56 > 0:37:59We need to know where.

0:37:59 > 0:38:06What makes you think I...? Who did you make contact with? I don't know these people. This was set up

0:38:06 > 0:38:11by a friend of a friend. I don't even know who owns that chop shop.

0:38:14 > 0:38:17There is very little time.

0:38:17 > 0:38:22I'm sure you have some idea, at least a guess, of who's on top.

0:38:22 > 0:38:27And you're gonna tell us because if Isbecki dies,

0:38:27 > 0:38:32man, we ain't gonna care who we expose to find out who did it.

0:38:32 > 0:38:35Now, Tony!

0:38:39 > 0:38:42A guy named Stobbart.

0:38:42 > 0:38:45Stallion Salvage? Yeah.

0:38:59 > 0:39:01Hey!

0:39:13 > 0:39:15Someone get me outta here!

0:39:17 > 0:39:20SIRENS WAIL

0:39:24 > 0:39:27Stop it!

0:39:45 > 0:39:48Get me out!

0:39:57 > 0:39:59Freeze, buddy!

0:39:59 > 0:40:03You're under arrest! Right, cuff him!

0:40:13 > 0:40:16Against the car!

0:40:20 > 0:40:23Hey!

0:40:23 > 0:40:26Freeze! Hold it!

0:40:26 > 0:40:33Get your hands over your head! Over your head! He's in the crusher! He's in the crusher!

0:40:33 > 0:40:36Take him.

0:40:36 > 0:40:39Hey! Stop this thing, hey!

0:40:44 > 0:40:47Don't shoot! Please don't shoot!

0:40:53 > 0:40:56Somebody get me out of here!

0:40:56 > 0:40:59Help! Somebody help me!

0:41:00 > 0:41:05Stop! Stop it! Does anybody know how to work this thing?

0:41:06 > 0:41:10Stop!

0:41:10 > 0:41:12Damn it!

0:41:13 > 0:41:15Stop!

0:41:22 > 0:41:24Victor! Victor!

0:41:24 > 0:41:29Ohh! Oh, God, you're all right! Watch your head. Be careful.

0:41:29 > 0:41:35How are you? He may have broken bones. Where are the paramedics?

0:41:35 > 0:41:42Get him out as fast as you can. This thing isn't gonna hold. Easy. Watch his legs! Careful.

0:41:42 > 0:41:44I got his legs.

0:41:44 > 0:41:51Set him down. I think I can walk. Let me untie his hands. I've got him, I've got him.

0:41:51 > 0:41:56Put your hand... I got it, I got it. Get some help, somebody!

0:41:56 > 0:41:58How's your back? Huh?

0:41:58 > 0:42:02It's OK. Look...I'm all right.

0:42:02 > 0:42:06Are you sure you can walk? Let's just wait for the paramedics.

0:42:06 > 0:42:09I can walk if you help me. OK.

0:42:09 > 0:42:12Lean on me. We'll take it slow, OK?

0:42:12 > 0:42:14Yeah.

0:42:14 > 0:42:18Victor, I'm sorry. I'm the one who blew the tail.

0:42:18 > 0:42:22It wasn't your fault. Yes, it was my fault and I'm sorry.

0:42:22 > 0:42:25Forget it. What did they do to you?

0:42:25 > 0:42:27Everything.

0:42:27 > 0:42:31I can't believe how close we came to losing you.

0:42:31 > 0:42:36Hey, it's over. Wait a minute, wait a minute. I'm glad you're OK.

0:42:38 > 0:42:40Then tuck me in tonight.

0:42:43 > 0:42:46Ugh! I cannot stand that man!

0:42:46 > 0:42:52Cagney, it's unbelievable. You wouldn't believe what they did to me.

0:42:52 > 0:42:59They had me in this room tied up, face down. Then they chained me to this barbed wire post.

0:42:59 > 0:43:05Then they ran the soles of my feet over this bamboo. You wouldn't believe it.

0:43:05 > 0:43:10They did this Japanese war torture across my neck. Don't let him in!

0:43:10 > 0:43:15Cagney is so ticked off at Isbecki, SHE wants to kill him!

0:43:15 > 0:43:17LAUGHTER

0:43:18 > 0:43:21Hey, Petrie, wait.

0:43:21 > 0:43:27The woman... The mother of the boy you shot is here.

0:43:27 > 0:43:32She came in a couple of hours ago. She wants to talk to you.

0:43:32 > 0:43:38She didn't seem too crazy, so I told her to wait in Samuels' office.

0:43:42 > 0:43:47Listen, Petrie, if you want to, go on home. I'll talk to her.

0:43:47 > 0:43:50No. You weren't there.

0:44:32 > 0:44:34I'm Detective Petrie.

0:44:34 > 0:44:38I understand you wish to speak with me.
