0:01:51 > 0:01:52Come on!

0:02:02 > 0:02:09Good morning, Lacey. You never typed up the report on the felony... I'll take care of it, Paul.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11Police brutality!

0:02:13 > 0:02:18Sit down! You'd just love to see me get ten years, wouldn't you?

0:02:18 > 0:02:24I'd love to see you get a lobotomy! This guy's animal life. What did he do?

0:02:24 > 0:02:27Carved up a wino for 5 dollars!

0:02:27 > 0:02:32Now we get abuse. Nobody loves a cop. If you want love, be a fireman.

0:02:32 > 0:02:39What mood is HE in? Harvey Jr wants to do a school project here. He's already chewed up Petrie,

0:02:39 > 0:02:44kicked Coleman out of the office and yelled at me.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48One of his good mornings, huh?

0:02:48 > 0:02:52Mary-Beth, got a minute? No. It's about your mother-in-law, Muriel.

0:02:52 > 0:03:00Go ahead. I really enjoyed meeting her. And I was wondering, does she have any free time?

0:03:00 > 0:03:06Lacey, would you join Detective Cagney and me in my office? Yes, sir.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09Call her up. She'd love to hear from you.

0:03:09 > 0:03:17Four PCP raids and no arrests. That's a batting average of 0.000.

0:03:17 > 0:03:21George Steinbrenner pays millions for guys with records like that(!)

0:03:21 > 0:03:29We're fighting phantoms. They move those labs so fast. The coffee was still warm when we got there!

0:03:29 > 0:03:35The bottom line is somebody is selling PCP to high-school kids on school property.

0:03:35 > 0:03:41Citizens out there think we should stop this, and they're right.

0:03:41 > 0:03:46Would the schools let one of us go undercover as a teacher?

0:03:46 > 0:03:53I've been talking to Max Mulgannon over in Narcotics, and he's got a young kid working for him -

0:03:53 > 0:04:01an informant who we can have on loan. There isn't one who wouldn't sell his mother for a bowling shirt!

0:04:01 > 0:04:07Lacey, the decision's been made. Mulgannon's waiting for you. Yes, sir.

0:04:10 > 0:04:15Sir, I know this isn't the time, but I have a personal favour to ask.

0:04:15 > 0:04:20Trust your instincts, Lacey. It's not the right time. Yes, sir.

0:04:20 > 0:04:26Informants are criminals. If perps hung out with model citizens,

0:04:26 > 0:04:31we'd have no problem but they don't. How else do we get our information?

0:04:31 > 0:04:33Have you read this fella's rap sheet?

0:04:36 > 0:04:41"Four counts grand theft, burglary, possession heroin, possession cocaine...

0:04:41 > 0:04:46"and one count of selling his mother for a bowling shirt(!)"

0:04:46 > 0:04:53They say prisons are overcrowded, yet all the criminals are on the police payroll!

0:04:53 > 0:04:55Get up against the wall!

0:04:56 > 0:05:01Hold it right there, we're police officers!

0:05:01 > 0:05:07What...? Oh, boy! You two gotta be Samuels' girls, right?

0:05:07 > 0:05:10Which one's Cagney, which one's Lacey?

0:05:10 > 0:05:15I'm Detective Cagney, this is Detective Lacey. You must be Samuels' boy!

0:05:18 > 0:05:21You broads don't let us get away with anything now.

0:05:21 > 0:05:29This is Matt Thompson, my gift to the 14th Squad. Say hello to the ladies, Matthew. Say hello! Hello!

0:05:33 > 0:05:38Where d'you think you're going? I'm gonna sit down.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41Get us something to eat.

0:05:42 > 0:05:46I want a double cheeseburger, extra tomato and mayonnaise,

0:05:46 > 0:05:50no relish, some fries. You want something?

0:05:50 > 0:05:55Coffee. Two. I guess the ladies don't want you to strain yourself.

0:05:55 > 0:06:02Hey, don't get cute with the change, either! Are you always so charming with informants?

0:06:02 > 0:06:06He gives me information, I don't send him to jail.

0:06:08 > 0:06:12That don't mean I have to like him any more than I do my haemorrhoids.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16This ain't no kid from the South Bronx!

0:06:16 > 0:06:21He's from the suburbs. He grew up with a lot more than I ever did.

0:06:21 > 0:06:28His parents are probably at their shrink trying to figure out where they went wrong.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31He's a good stoolie, though. So why give him to us?

0:06:31 > 0:06:34I'm working on a bigger case.

0:06:34 > 0:06:38Ever heard of Andres Palma?

0:06:38 > 0:06:43No. He's a major South American heroin and cocaine importer.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46Just getting ready to close in on him.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49The kid can't help on this one, so you two can use him. But look...

0:06:49 > 0:06:52Feed him rough, will you? So he don't forget who's boss.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55Thanks.

0:06:59 > 0:07:03Look, I've got one request. Don't spoil him.

0:07:05 > 0:07:11Use him, make him work for you, but don't trust him any further than you can spit on him.

0:07:13 > 0:07:18When do I get to go undercover? What's your hurry?

0:07:18 > 0:07:25I'm really looking forward to doing this. I got my personal reasons...

0:07:25 > 0:07:30You do? Yes. My parents, they always wanted me to go to Western Prep.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34This is gonna make 'em real proud.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37Right.

0:07:37 > 0:07:42You won't believe me, but I got strong feelings about doing this.

0:07:42 > 0:07:46Drugs messed up my life real bad.

0:07:46 > 0:07:52If I could do something to save some other kid from that,

0:07:52 > 0:07:57maybe I'd feel a little bit better about myself.

0:07:57 > 0:08:04Detective Cagney is setting it up. We want you to be registered as a student. That might be a problem.

0:08:04 > 0:08:12Old friends? Old clothes. Everyone there wears stuff with alligators and polo ponies across the...

0:08:12 > 0:08:14We'll get you new clothes. Thanks.

0:08:14 > 0:08:21That's the third time you've rubbed that shoulder. Let me type. I can type 90wpm.

0:08:21 > 0:08:28I had a crush on my typing teacher so I took Typing One three years in a row - my only A.

0:08:28 > 0:08:34OK? OK. What do I do? Take this here and transfer it on to a blue.

0:08:34 > 0:08:41Laguardia! Yeah? I got that form you wanted typed finally. Oh, thanks.

0:08:41 > 0:08:49Mary-Beth, listen, about Muriel... Did you call her? I can't find the number. I gave you it a dozen times!

0:08:49 > 0:08:55I keep losing it. I'm afraid she'll say no when I ask her to dinner. No, she was very...

0:08:55 > 0:09:03I never saw that stuff! You planted it on me. Who told you to stand up? Hands behind your back!

0:09:03 > 0:09:06What you in for? False arrest. Me, too!

0:09:08 > 0:09:14That man you carved up is still in intensive care. False arrest - good one!

0:09:16 > 0:09:19That's nice friends you've got(!)

0:09:23 > 0:09:25Thank you.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27We always protect an informant.

0:09:27 > 0:09:32Mulgannon uses his handcuff routine as an excuse to rough me up.

0:09:32 > 0:09:36I will tell you again. You treat us fair, we'll treat you fair.

0:09:38 > 0:09:44You're a decent lady. If the mutual admiration society's adjourned, I've got some new business.

0:09:44 > 0:09:52Is it set? He enrols tomorrow. Look, I'll do a good job for you. You can trust me.

0:09:53 > 0:09:54Right.

0:09:58 > 0:10:02You think I'm a dead-end street, don't you?

0:10:02 > 0:10:04I think you are who you are.

0:10:04 > 0:10:11Lady, if I read my rap sheet, I wouldn't have much use for me, either. I've changed.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16I just hope that I can prove it to you.

0:10:19 > 0:10:24A student will walk Matt through his first day of classes.

0:10:24 > 0:10:28No-one will know Matt's purpose for being here.

0:10:28 > 0:10:33BUZZER GOES Jeremy, come in.

0:10:33 > 0:10:39Jeremy Martin, one of our better students. Jeremy, this is Matt.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41Hi. How're you doin'?

0:10:43 > 0:10:46Can we go now, Mr Herrold? Go ahead.

0:10:48 > 0:10:53It was nice meeting you. Thank you, Jeremy.

0:11:02 > 0:11:10I have to say I have misgivings about bringing a drug addict, even an ex-drug addict, into my school.

0:11:10 > 0:11:14Our department has done this before and it's been very successful.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19It's your responsibility. Yes, sir.

0:11:34 > 0:11:38Thank you. Ow! Your shoulder? Yeah. OK, darling, give me a second.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41Give me the brush. Thank you. I'll be with you.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44All right, sit down.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48It's right here. You got it.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52Tight? Yeah.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57Feel better? It's beginning to.

0:11:57 > 0:12:03Mom, did you ask Lieutenant Samuels about me coming to the station? No, but I will.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05When? Soon.

0:12:05 > 0:12:12Go to the library. I've done my work on the criminal justice system and the courts.

0:12:12 > 0:12:16Just the police left. What am I? You don't count.

0:12:16 > 0:12:20Nice(!) You know what he means.

0:12:20 > 0:12:25When can I come? I give you my word I will talk to Lieutenant Samuels this week.

0:12:27 > 0:12:31You're welcome(!) No, more here, more here.

0:12:33 > 0:12:39Is Samuels gonna be a problem? He always is. Is he still on about that PCP case? Yeah, and I hate it.

0:12:39 > 0:12:44Half the kids on dope are not any older than him. Don't worry. He's a good kid.

0:12:49 > 0:12:54I didn't think it was possible, but the Lieutenant was in an even worse mood than yesterday.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57Have you talked to him about Harvey Jr yet? No.

0:12:59 > 0:13:04Well, you've got tomorrow. Tomorrow is a school holiday. Tomorrow I said I'd bring the kid in.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07I must talk to the Lieutenant this afternoon.

0:13:10 > 0:13:15So where's our other young scholar? He said he'd be here at noon.

0:13:15 > 0:13:16Whoa!

0:13:18 > 0:13:19Hey, I was here. You're late.

0:13:19 > 0:13:23Trying to give us a heart attack?!

0:13:23 > 0:13:28Get over here! Sorry, I didn't mean nothing by it. We are not playing games here, Matt.

0:13:29 > 0:13:37If you don't like hide-and-seek, we'll play show-and-tell. This is a cigarette dipped in PCP liquid.

0:13:37 > 0:13:45Found the dealer? No, a kid who's a runner for the dealer. He can help us set up a buy. Who?

0:13:46 > 0:13:49I'll need 200 dollars to make it look good.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52100 dollars will look good enough.

0:13:52 > 0:13:56A student or someone from the outside? Student. Get a name?

0:13:57 > 0:14:00It's the kid that was showing me around.

0:14:00 > 0:14:05Jeremy Martin. If he's a dealer, he's one hell of an actor!

0:14:05 > 0:14:11They're all actors. That's part of the gig. Martin's got a bad habit.

0:14:11 > 0:14:16Desperate people do desperate things. I used to be desperate, too.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20I'll see you around the quad, huh?

0:14:26 > 0:14:30He's good, I'll give him that, but he's seen too many Bogart films.

0:14:31 > 0:14:38Meaning? That con job. The reformed criminal routine. Please!

0:14:38 > 0:14:41You don't think it's possible? You do?

0:14:41 > 0:14:45It's possible. Not in a million years, come on!

0:14:46 > 0:14:48You've got very cynical, Christine.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50I'm hoping that you are wrong.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54If I'm wrong, all I have to do is say sorry.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56If you're wrong, we get burned.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05Sir, Harvey Jr won't interfere with police business.

0:15:05 > 0:15:09I'll stay with him the whole time.

0:15:09 > 0:15:14Lacey, next time I'd appreciate it if I was consulted.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17A police station is not a place for a young kid.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19If it was up to me...

0:15:22 > 0:15:23What was I saying?

0:15:23 > 0:15:27If it was up to you...? Yeah, I would...

0:15:29 > 0:15:37The kid is here already, let him stay. But promise you'll watch him. I will, sir. Thank you, sir.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39Sounds good. We'll be there.

0:15:40 > 0:15:47That was our boy. The buy's going down. Gotta pick up the stuff, take it to the lab. Oh, no.

0:15:47 > 0:15:52Sorry, I can't leave you here alone. So get on the subway. Go back home.

0:15:52 > 0:15:58Mary-Beth, he can stay with me. I'd love to give him an interview. Sure?

0:15:58 > 0:16:02I'm just pushing paper for the next hour. I owe you one.

0:16:02 > 0:16:07You stay with Detective Laguardia. Sit there.

0:16:07 > 0:16:09Bye-bye, Mom! Bye!

0:16:09 > 0:16:17To begin with, we might take a look at the Magna Carta. The Magna Carta?

0:16:17 > 0:16:22It's amazing when you explore the ramifications

0:16:22 > 0:16:25of the concept of habeas corpus. Yes, sir.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35D'you think something happened to him?

0:16:35 > 0:16:38I think something happened to us.

0:16:38 > 0:16:39We've been stood up.

0:16:41 > 0:16:45Let's give him ten more minutes. OK.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50What d'you do with a kid like that?

0:16:50 > 0:16:52What if you're that kid's mother?

0:16:52 > 0:16:57Do you put your head in the sand? Blame yourself or write him off?

0:16:57 > 0:17:02What would I do if Harvey Jr got mixed up in that dope stuff?

0:17:02 > 0:17:06Oh, come on, he's a great kid. Nothing's gonna happen to him.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11Harvey Sr told me the same thing. See? There you go.

0:17:13 > 0:17:18I'd just like him to know how dangerous it is. I'd like to take him down the morgue and scare him!

0:17:20 > 0:17:26If you make too big a deal out of this, it'll make it more exciting to him. That's what happened to me.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31When I discovered sex was a sin.

0:17:31 > 0:17:36It wasn't until 1652 that New York had its own police department.

0:17:38 > 0:17:40I'm afraid I'm boring you, son.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42No, not really, sir.

0:17:43 > 0:17:48Would you like to talk about something else? Like what?

0:17:48 > 0:17:54I was wondering if you know if your grandmother likes macrobiotic food.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13Yeah? Open the door, kid!

0:18:15 > 0:18:19Hi. I screwed up, didn't I?

0:18:19 > 0:18:24We had an appointment. Or did that just slip your mind? Come on in.

0:18:35 > 0:18:41I could tell you an outstanding story and you'd believe me, or I could tell you the truth.

0:18:43 > 0:18:50I got burned. I gave the guy the cash and he never came back. I came home because I couldn't face you.

0:18:52 > 0:18:57You opted for the outstanding story. It's true! I'm sick of your act!

0:18:57 > 0:19:03You've produced zilch and burned us for 100 bucks! I'm dealing with lowlife!

0:19:03 > 0:19:09You cannot expect things to run smoothly. I got burned.

0:19:09 > 0:19:12It happens. Not to me.

0:19:13 > 0:19:20I can't prove you've lied. But if you don't come up with something, I'm kicking you back to Mulgannon!

0:19:20 > 0:19:26Let's get outta here. What happened to fair and fair? Look, wait!

0:19:27 > 0:19:32Not too many people have given me a reason to trust them, least of all cops.

0:19:32 > 0:19:40It's hard to accept the idea that you won't just dump on me. So far you haven't shown us anything.

0:19:40 > 0:19:45I got burned! When I got home, I wanted to get stoned, but I didn't.

0:19:45 > 0:19:49I believe in what I'm doing and it's helping me to stay straight.

0:19:50 > 0:19:54You've got to give me another chance!

0:19:54 > 0:19:58Go back to school and find something out. Stay clean.

0:20:02 > 0:20:06We're not the Feds. We haven't got unlimited funds to give to stoolies.

0:20:06 > 0:20:12He's on to the supplier. Can we give him a few more days? Yeah.

0:20:13 > 0:20:17We got a call from a guy in an apartment block near Western Prep.

0:20:17 > 0:20:22He thinks a guy in his building is making PCP. Why does he think that?

0:20:22 > 0:20:29He heard a news broadcast that warns that a minty odour is a sign of PCP manufacture.

0:20:29 > 0:20:33'One apartment in his building stinks of mint.'

0:20:33 > 0:20:38"Madame Frolovsky - spiritual and herbal healer."

0:20:38 > 0:20:43Which of us has the disease? Not me. My mother said, "Pretend to be sick, you get sick."

0:20:43 > 0:20:49So you wouldn't cut school. I won't do it! OK, I'll have tennis elbow.

0:20:49 > 0:20:52You don't play! It'll be a quick cure.

0:20:52 > 0:20:56Yes? Hello, I wonder if you could...

0:20:56 > 0:21:00Excuse me. There's something wrong with your shoulder.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03How do you know that?

0:21:03 > 0:21:06Relax. I don't read minds.

0:21:06 > 0:21:13I simply observe that you carry this shoulder higher than the other. It looks like it gives you some pain.

0:21:13 > 0:21:19Yeah, it's here. D'you use herbs? Among other secret ingredients.

0:21:19 > 0:21:24I smell mint. Yes, herbal tea. It lends an air of authenticity.

0:21:24 > 0:21:29People are more comfortable if things are as they expect them to be.

0:21:29 > 0:21:34I'll get you ointment to rub into your shoulder.

0:21:36 > 0:21:42So much for our PCP bust! Should've got Laguardia some mint tea. Next time.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44You're gonna go back there?

0:21:46 > 0:21:52My shoulder is better. If she gives you any chocolate mousse, don't eat it. Remember Rosemary's Baby?

0:21:52 > 0:21:57Are we talking movies or life? Life in the movies.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59THEY SCREAM What?!

0:21:59 > 0:22:05The car was locked! Took me 20 seconds to unlock it! I was looking for you.

0:22:05 > 0:22:13A big drug buy's going down in Jack's Cafe over on 34th. Sure? Be there or be square!

0:22:13 > 0:22:17"Be there or be square"? 34th Street.

0:22:22 > 0:22:26This is it. Maybe we should call for back-up. We don't have time.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53Excuse me, where's your rest room? In the back. Thanks.

0:22:53 > 0:22:57We've got a little business back there. OK.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00I'll take the john. Right.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02When you hear me. Right.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09Excuse me. Sorry.

0:23:09 > 0:23:10Excuse me.

0:23:19 > 0:23:24Stay where you are. You're under arrest! Hands over your heads!

0:23:24 > 0:23:29On the wall! All of you! On the wall! Hands over your head!

0:23:29 > 0:23:31You've made a big mistake.

0:23:34 > 0:23:39Two of three perpetrators are FBI, working on this case for six months!

0:23:39 > 0:23:42How are we meant to know? You ask!

0:23:42 > 0:23:48Now I've got to deal with the Feds, Narcotics, Division Commander,

0:23:48 > 0:23:52and, worst of all, with Inspector Marquette!

0:23:52 > 0:23:56We are very sorry, sir. Get outta here!

0:23:56 > 0:23:57Yes, sir.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04He made a mistake. He's only 19.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07He will never live to see 20!

0:24:12 > 0:24:15The kid got some information on a drug buy.

0:24:15 > 0:24:19He had no way of knowing the Feds were there.

0:24:19 > 0:24:23Why are you defending him? You didn't want to work with him in the first place!

0:24:24 > 0:24:30I'm saying we don't know that he set us up.

0:24:30 > 0:24:33He's disappeared. I don't think that's coincidence.

0:24:34 > 0:24:38I don't think... Is it 3.30 already? Yeah. Hi, Mom.

0:24:38 > 0:24:44How's my favourite sixth grader? Still outrageous? Totally!

0:24:44 > 0:24:50A kid from Western Prep went through a plate-glass window. Called Martin.

0:24:50 > 0:24:55Go over to St John's Hospital. One small problem.

0:24:55 > 0:25:02What's that? Harvey Jr is here to finish his interviews. Petrie will be happy to talk to your son.

0:25:02 > 0:25:07He's busy. I thought if you had a minute, he could interview you.

0:25:07 > 0:25:14You could really help, with your wealth of experience, skilfulness... Have I any choice?

0:25:14 > 0:25:18I'd really like to talk to you, sir.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22Looks like you're stuck with me.

0:25:28 > 0:25:30He's not that kind of boy.

0:25:32 > 0:25:36He had absolutely no interest in drugs or alcohol.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39He never even tried smoking cigarettes.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43At least, that's what I thought until now.

0:25:43 > 0:25:49Mr Martin, we see a lot of this. Don't blame yourself.

0:25:49 > 0:25:51Since his mother died...

0:25:51 > 0:25:54Jeremy and I built a strong relationship.

0:25:54 > 0:25:57His only problem is shyness...

0:25:57 > 0:26:03Mr Martin, how is he? There was a lot of bleeding, but they think he'll be OK.

0:26:03 > 0:26:09Do you have a family lawyer? Why? We think Jeremy may have been dealing drugs.

0:26:09 > 0:26:12Impossible. We have a good source.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15Your son may need a lawyer. My God!

0:26:15 > 0:26:20Detective, I know this boy. I know your source.

0:26:20 > 0:26:26I've a strong suspicion who's dealing drugs. It's not Jeremy.

0:26:26 > 0:26:27Sir, would you mind if we talked to him?

0:26:30 > 0:26:32I don't remember much of anything.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36When I think about going through that window...

0:26:39 > 0:26:41I can't believe it was me that did it.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45It doesn't feel like me.

0:26:45 > 0:26:50From what we hear, it wasn't like you. Who gave you the PCP?

0:26:52 > 0:26:57Loyalty is something to be respected.

0:26:57 > 0:27:01Whoever gave you that dope counted on your loyalty and your silence.

0:27:01 > 0:27:07No, he just thought I'd have a good time, that's all. He's my friend.

0:27:07 > 0:27:12This friendship stinks. He almost killed you.

0:27:12 > 0:27:16It's not gonna work. I'm not gonna tell you who it was. OK.

0:27:18 > 0:27:23When we came down to the hospital, we had information YOU were dealing dope.

0:27:25 > 0:27:26Me? Yeah.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30Who told you something like that?

0:27:33 > 0:27:34It was Matt, wasn't it?

0:27:34 > 0:27:36Matt told you that.

0:27:38 > 0:27:39Yes, he did.

0:27:42 > 0:27:43I thought he was my friend.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46Did Matt give you the drugs?

0:27:48 > 0:27:50Yeah.

0:27:50 > 0:27:54All right, pick up the stoolie and bring him in.

0:27:54 > 0:28:01Yeah, right. Harvey Jr? He's annoying the hell out of me, that's what!

0:28:01 > 0:28:06No, you go bust that kid. Everything here will be fine. Harvey'll be OK.

0:28:06 > 0:28:08Yeah, OK. Bye-bye.

0:28:24 > 0:28:27Thank you. Gin!

0:28:27 > 0:28:32I'll get that creep and I'll kill him. We treated him too good.

0:28:32 > 0:28:35He'd never have done that to Mulgannon.

0:28:35 > 0:28:39It's not Matt or Mulgannon, it's the system of using informants.

0:28:41 > 0:28:47It's our fault the kid went through the window? If we hadn't put an informant in, Jeremy would be OK.

0:28:47 > 0:28:53It isn't informants, it's Matt! And next time it's somebody else!

0:28:53 > 0:28:56I forgot you were collecting fives.

0:28:56 > 0:29:01All right. How old are you? 12, sir.

0:29:01 > 0:29:05It's hard to believe. So where was I?

0:29:05 > 0:29:09You said you liked being a policeman because it was so real.

0:29:09 > 0:29:16Yeah. When we deal with people, it's because they did something bad to somebody

0:29:16 > 0:29:24or somebody did something bad to them. At a time like that, it's kinda hard to put on airs.

0:29:24 > 0:29:28Follow what I mean? Sort of.

0:29:28 > 0:29:30You see, outside in the real world there's...

0:29:30 > 0:29:35You know, people say things to each other

0:29:35 > 0:29:41like "Have a nice day" or "Lovely weather we're having". Stuff like that.

0:29:41 > 0:29:47Or they talk about movie stars or the Queen of England like that stuff mattered in their lives.

0:29:49 > 0:29:55No, I like it in here because in here it may not be the prettiest job in the world,

0:29:55 > 0:29:57but in here it's real!

0:30:07 > 0:30:09Hold it right there, sonny!

0:30:17 > 0:30:18I'm gonna kill him.

0:30:20 > 0:30:21We've got to catch him first!

0:30:26 > 0:30:30Matt, you lousy punk!

0:30:33 > 0:30:34There!

0:30:49 > 0:30:51Hold it right there!

0:30:53 > 0:30:57Hold it! Flight time is over, Matt! Come on down from there.

0:30:59 > 0:31:00Keep your hands where I can see 'em.

0:31:02 > 0:31:05Do the best you can, kid.

0:31:05 > 0:31:07You took our money and bought drugs.

0:31:09 > 0:31:15And sold them to those kids in that school. One of them is lying in St John's! You don't understand...

0:31:15 > 0:31:18I'll let you know when you can talk!

0:31:20 > 0:31:22D'you hear that? We don't understand him.

0:31:22 > 0:31:25This poor boy's a victim of our misunderstanding(!)

0:31:27 > 0:31:30I don't like being made a fool of.

0:31:30 > 0:31:36Look at me! You have fixed it so I have to come up with answers to some very rough questions!

0:31:38 > 0:31:40What do we have on him?

0:31:42 > 0:31:44The original two counts of possession

0:31:44 > 0:31:47which the DA was holding at Mulgannon's request.

0:31:47 > 0:31:51We also have new charges of possession with intent to sell,

0:31:51 > 0:31:54resisting arrest.

0:31:54 > 0:31:58So d'you think they'll let you watch cartoons in prison?

0:31:58 > 0:32:01Wait! I have a proposition.

0:32:01 > 0:32:08What if I get you a real drug dealer? Is it your hearing? There are no deals!

0:32:08 > 0:32:14The trading post is closed. I'm talking Mr Very Big. Heard of Andres Palma? Matt, it's over!

0:32:14 > 0:32:17You're going to jail.

0:32:19 > 0:32:23What could you possibly know about Palma? I know plenty.

0:32:23 > 0:32:24Really? Yeah.

0:32:26 > 0:32:28Talk fast and make it real good.

0:32:28 > 0:32:34A few months ago I made a lot of buys from people working for Palma.

0:32:34 > 0:32:37I was meant to set up a meeting, but I couldn't.

0:32:37 > 0:32:40We knew where he lived...

0:32:40 > 0:32:46So one night I visited his place. I picked the locks in ten seconds.

0:32:46 > 0:32:52I hoped to find drugs. Why are we listening to this? Let him talk.

0:32:52 > 0:32:55He didn't have drugs lying around, but I did find a book.

0:32:57 > 0:33:02Believe it or not, a little black book with all his contacts listed.

0:33:02 > 0:33:09Importers, customers' names, addresses, the works. You've got this book? Think I'm stupid?

0:33:09 > 0:33:13He'd have missed it. I took pictures of every page.

0:33:13 > 0:33:18You conveniently had a camera? I stole his one.

0:33:18 > 0:33:21So why didn't you give these pictures to Mulgannon?

0:33:23 > 0:33:26I thought I'd keep them for a rainy day.

0:33:26 > 0:33:27In case I got into real trouble.

0:33:28 > 0:33:30Right now it looks like it's pouring.

0:33:33 > 0:33:35So what's it gonna be?

0:33:35 > 0:33:40Put a small-time punk like me in jail and nobody notices...

0:33:42 > 0:33:45..or get yourself a big arrest?

0:33:47 > 0:33:52Six O'Clock News, medals, promotions...

0:33:53 > 0:33:56Come on, sounds good, don't it? Don't it?

0:34:00 > 0:34:03I hate this whole thing here!

0:34:03 > 0:34:08We're talking about Andres Palma. You know how big this could be.

0:34:08 > 0:34:13And there's a kid in the hospital. He could've killed himself.

0:34:13 > 0:34:17How many kids are in hospital due to Palma's drugs?

0:34:17 > 0:34:21How many murders are committed to get his stuff?

0:34:21 > 0:34:23Matt Thompson deserves to be in jail.

0:34:27 > 0:34:30It's a trade-off.

0:34:30 > 0:34:33I don't like it any more than you do.

0:34:33 > 0:34:38The kid is smart, he knows. We can nail somebody much more important.

0:34:38 > 0:34:44Is that it? He got you with that stuff about the TV and promotions.

0:34:44 > 0:34:51All you care about is the next step to becoming Chief of Detectives! D'you really believe that? No!

0:34:51 > 0:34:58Sorry, I'm angry. Let's go ahead and do this for the greater good. That's why I'm angry.

0:34:58 > 0:35:03Forgive me, but I won't feel good about letting Matt Thompson walk.

0:35:03 > 0:35:09It may be expedient, it may be convenient, but it isn't justice.

0:35:09 > 0:35:11And it sure as hell isn't right!

0:35:21 > 0:35:25You spoke to her? Yeah. And? Where are you going to dinner, Paul?

0:35:27 > 0:35:30We're not. She turned you down?

0:35:30 > 0:35:34Not exactly. We had a lovely conversation and I said I wasn't busy Saturday night.

0:35:35 > 0:35:39And she said? I should get out more often.

0:35:40 > 0:35:48I think the idea was to ask if SHE was busy Saturday night. Call her again. Be a little more aggressive.

0:35:48 > 0:35:51Some of us still like that in men.

0:35:51 > 0:35:53Right, I will.

0:35:55 > 0:36:00I'll get you the arrest reports from some of the cases your mom and I worked on.

0:36:00 > 0:36:07Then you ask me questions. There's one case I'm really interested in. What's that? Matt the Enforcer.

0:36:07 > 0:36:12It's "Informant". Not one of our great successes.

0:36:12 > 0:36:17At least not yet. I saw an informant on Kojak once.

0:36:17 > 0:36:23Kojak would give the guy 10 dollars and he'd help him solve crimes. He was great.

0:36:23 > 0:36:29On television they are great, but in real life they are criminals. Write that down. They are criminals.

0:36:31 > 0:36:35Does that about wrap it up, pal? Almost.

0:36:35 > 0:36:40This informant stuff is interesting. I hope my teacher doesn't think I made it up.

0:36:40 > 0:36:46Come on, I'll buy you a candy bar. A guy like that can break any law and not go to jail!

0:36:56 > 0:37:02Harvey, I understand how all of this is very fascinating to you.

0:37:02 > 0:37:06I know it sounds strange that we use criminals to help us in the department.

0:37:08 > 0:37:11So I'm gonna explain it to you. Are you listening to me? Yeah.

0:37:13 > 0:37:18They give us valuable information, information that we need.

0:37:18 > 0:37:25In exchange for that, we keep them out of jail for as long as they help us. The guy goes free, right?

0:37:27 > 0:37:31Right, but I want you to understand what we get in exchange for that.

0:37:31 > 0:37:35Can he do anything? Could he kill someone?

0:37:35 > 0:37:39No. We can't let him get away with that!

0:37:39 > 0:37:45Can he break someone's arm and get away with it? There's no set rules. We make it up as we go along.

0:37:46 > 0:37:51Hey, kid, I remembered a terrific case I cracked! What is this?

0:37:51 > 0:37:57That PCP dealer. The one you blew the FBI collar on. They've been tailing him ever since.

0:37:59 > 0:38:04What if Matt gave me drugs and I went to the hospital? Mom wouldn't let him off with that.

0:38:07 > 0:38:10She yelled at Dad once just for giving me a sip of beer.

0:38:12 > 0:38:16I don't have the answer for that, Harvey. Christine!

0:38:16 > 0:38:19Look at the address on the bottom.

0:38:21 > 0:38:28I never figured how Matt saw our car the day he told us about the drug buy. It wasn't a coincidence.

0:38:28 > 0:38:34I think he and our PCP dealer went to see someone in that building.

0:38:34 > 0:38:37What's-her-name. Frolovsky.

0:38:37 > 0:38:41How do you disguise the smell of mint? With more mint.

0:38:42 > 0:38:45The quack's a front? The shoulder did feel better.

0:38:46 > 0:38:47Go get her.

0:38:55 > 0:38:57KNOCK ON DOOR

0:39:09 > 0:39:11Hey! I'll cover the back.

0:39:12 > 0:39:15Damn! Kick that thing in for me!

0:39:18 > 0:39:20Try the back rooms.

0:39:23 > 0:39:26Kick this thing in. Hold it there!

0:39:29 > 0:39:31Don't move!

0:39:41 > 0:39:46Freeze! Police! That's as far as you go, fool!

0:39:50 > 0:39:57Camphor and menthol - you can buy it across the counter! Ladies, you got a visitor.

0:39:58 > 0:40:02Detectives. Mr Martin.

0:40:02 > 0:40:09Sorry to bother you. I thought I'd let you know Jeremy's gonna be OK. He's getting out Monday. Terrific.

0:40:09 > 0:40:14Did you pick up that Thompson kid? Jeremy will testify against him.

0:40:14 > 0:40:21Yes, sir. We have him in custody now. Shall I bring Jeremy down to make a statement?

0:40:21 > 0:40:28That might be a bit premature. Detective Cagney, I don't want this to just fade away.

0:40:28 > 0:40:35I almost lost my son. I want someone to pay for it. It's just that we have procedures... Excuse me.

0:40:37 > 0:40:43Mr Martin, I've been a police officer long enough to think that I know human nature.

0:40:43 > 0:40:49Me and my partner disagreed about Matt Thompson and I accused her of being cynical.

0:40:49 > 0:40:56Chris, I was wrong about you, I was wrong about Matt. Didn't you arrest him? Yes, sir, we did.

0:40:56 > 0:41:03But before I sign out, go home and make dinner for my boys, I'm gonna let him go. Why?

0:41:03 > 0:41:08When we arrested Matt, he had some very important documents

0:41:08 > 0:41:13that can help us convict one of New York's largest drug importers.

0:41:13 > 0:41:16In exchange for that information, Matt will go free.

0:41:17 > 0:41:20I'm sure you've heard about this sort of thing, sir.

0:41:21 > 0:41:25We only do this when we are convinced the exchange is worth it.

0:41:28 > 0:41:32Does anyone else know about this? The whole department, sir.

0:41:34 > 0:41:37And his information is really that important?

0:41:37 > 0:41:39Yes, sir, we believe it is.

0:41:41 > 0:41:44I guess you know your business.

0:41:46 > 0:41:50I just wish I could bring you home to explain it to Jeremy.

0:42:00 > 0:42:02Aren't you gonna say anything?

0:42:02 > 0:42:04Nothing to say.

0:42:07 > 0:42:08Yeah, there is.

0:42:10 > 0:42:11Come on.

0:42:14 > 0:42:16We've got to live with ourselves.

0:42:18 > 0:42:24I know we'll sleep a lot better if that kid's put in prison,

0:42:24 > 0:42:29so if it's all the same to you, sir, we'll just get Palma another way.

0:42:29 > 0:42:32Finished? I think so. Good.

0:42:34 > 0:42:39Very nice sermon, but you're a little late. What d'you mean, sir?

0:42:39 > 0:42:45The jerk got tired of waiting on you, so he offered Mulgannon the information.

0:42:45 > 0:42:48Mulgannon sprung the kid in 15 minutes.

0:42:53 > 0:42:54Excuse me.

0:43:02 > 0:43:04Excuse me, sir.

0:43:17 > 0:43:21Christine, are you OK? You've been in here half an hour.

0:43:21 > 0:43:25Yeah, I just wanted a little privacy. Right.

0:43:32 > 0:43:35Did you want me to leave?

0:43:41 > 0:43:44He's laughing at us, Mary-Beth.

0:43:44 > 0:43:50Right now, wherever he is, Matt Thompson is having such a laugh on the two of us. To hell with him!

0:43:50 > 0:43:57Yeah, but all that talking we did... Who the hell did we think we were? Plato and Socrates?

0:44:00 > 0:44:04Morality and justice, it's such a joke.

0:44:07 > 0:44:10The system just... It just keeps on truckin'.

0:44:12 > 0:44:15Mulgannon gets all the glory

0:44:15 > 0:44:19and that little creep, he just gets off scot-free.

0:44:19 > 0:44:24We did our job. Our job was to bust a PCP ring. We did that.

0:44:24 > 0:44:31Without the help of an informant. We kept our principles intact which isn't easy in this city.

0:44:31 > 0:44:35Mary-Beth! What is it?

0:44:35 > 0:44:39Muriel and I are going out to a macrobiotic dinner.

0:44:39 > 0:44:46I'm delighted for you. Laguardia, this is the women's john!

0:44:46 > 0:44:48Excuse me. Forgive me. See you later.
