0:01:33 > 0:01:40Next time they have one of these, Samuels can go to the firing squad! They've a right to be angry.

0:01:40 > 0:01:45It's tough enough raising kids without gang vendettas and dope pushers.

0:01:45 > 0:01:50You have to sympathise. Fine, but why do we have to be the villains?

0:01:50 > 0:01:56They accuse us of letting criminals run wild, then of harassing Puerto Ricans in a low-rent district!

0:01:56 > 0:02:00Please! You can't win with these people.

0:02:00 > 0:02:05Who said it had to be a contest? Everything's a contest. I disagree.

0:02:05 > 0:02:09Including getting in the last word with you. This is true.

0:02:10 > 0:02:16Oh, would you pull over up here? I want to get some milk for the boys for breakfast.

0:02:16 > 0:02:20What, the kids can't eat their Crispy Crinkles dry?

0:02:20 > 0:02:26Real men eat their Crispy Crinkles dry. You're not half as tough as you think you are.

0:03:51 > 0:03:56What do you think you're doing?! Wanna hold it right there? I'm a police officer.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58I said knock it off!

0:04:02 > 0:04:06Just put that thing down, mister. Nobody needs to get hurt here.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11I'm warning you! Put it down.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Put it down!

0:04:14 > 0:04:18I said put it down. Don't make me shoot.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27Oh, como se llama these here?

0:04:27 > 0:04:31Ah, churritos. Churritos. Dos, por favor.

0:04:31 > 0:04:32Ah!

0:04:35 > 0:04:38What the hell's the matter with you, mister?

0:04:55 > 0:04:56Christine!

0:05:00 > 0:05:01Christine!

0:05:05 > 0:05:07Cagney!

0:05:09 > 0:05:11Are you OK?!

0:05:21 > 0:05:23You OK?

0:05:39 > 0:05:44He just kept coming at me with that thing. I shot him in the shoulder,

0:05:44 > 0:05:47but he didn't st...

0:05:50 > 0:05:54You OK to stay here? ..I'm going to get an ambulance.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07Stand back, folks, stand back.

0:06:14 > 0:06:18Hey, get close to the stretcher. Let's get a close-up of that, Mike.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20Real tight, real tight.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25Whoa, did some damage, didn't they?

0:06:29 > 0:06:33OK, let's get some crowd reaction. Over here. Get the mike ready.

0:06:33 > 0:06:38Buenos noches. Buenos noches. Mira, necesito testigos...

0:06:38 > 0:06:41THEY SPEAK IN SPANISH

0:06:41 > 0:06:45I told the officer... We'll take a statement at the precinct. Yes, sir.

0:06:45 > 0:06:49Is there anything else? Get your story straight before we get there.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53Oh, God. ..Keys, Chris.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56Christine, keys to the car?

0:07:01 > 0:07:03Good shot.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06I just wish I'd had a 45.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12Thank you.

0:07:17 > 0:07:22How many times did you order him to halt? Three or four. Which is it?

0:07:22 > 0:07:28Three. Then what? Then there was no response. Not to any words or warnings...

0:07:28 > 0:07:33not even to the first gunshot. I think the kid was high on something, maybe PCP.

0:07:33 > 0:07:39I don't want what you think right now. I'm interested in the facts of what actually happened. ..Got it?

0:07:41 > 0:07:45Now, you fired two shots? First time I went for the shoulder. Why?

0:07:45 > 0:07:49Because I didn't wanna kill him! If I'd had a 45,

0:07:49 > 0:07:53the shoulder hit would've taken him down, and he'd be in better shape.

0:07:53 > 0:07:58You know you should never fire your weapon to wound. You fire to kill.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01I don't agree with you. OK, then what?

0:08:01 > 0:08:05It's just like I told you before. Tell me again.

0:08:05 > 0:08:12But you only heard the one shot? Yes, when I came out of the store. Inside, the music was so loud.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14What kind of music?

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Spanish music. Uh...it was loud.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19Very loud music.

0:08:19 > 0:08:25Why were you sure he was breaking in? ..Well, I figured the bat was bigger than any key I'D ever seen.

0:08:25 > 0:08:29A smart-aleck attitude isn't gonna help your case.

0:08:29 > 0:08:35My case? I believe the penal law calls it attempted murder. I call it self-defence! Of course you do.

0:08:35 > 0:08:39You're involved up to your eyeballs. But just between us,

0:08:39 > 0:08:44passionate protests of innocence aren't conclusive in a court of law.

0:08:44 > 0:08:48What I need is hard evidence to classify this as good shooting!

0:08:48 > 0:08:52Are you gonna make my job easier or stay on your high horse all night?!

0:08:53 > 0:08:55OK.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58Let's take it from the top.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00That's my line.

0:09:00 > 0:09:04When I got there he was unconscious. He couldn't hold anything.

0:09:04 > 0:09:11I don't know what more you want me to say. I'd settle for anything that could help your partner.

0:09:12 > 0:09:16Would you have shot the second time if he hadn't raised the bat?

0:09:22 > 0:09:26I wouldn't have shot the first time, OR the second time,

0:09:26 > 0:09:30if my life had not been in danger.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39Well, what would YOU have done?

0:09:39 > 0:09:43SWITCHES OFF TAPE RECORDER Off the record?

0:09:43 > 0:09:48Without back-up? Without witnesses? With a juvenile who can be alleged to be unarmed?

0:09:48 > 0:09:54You saw those broken windows! I saw them up and down the alley and East 118th St and the neighbourhood!

0:09:54 > 0:09:57Who could prove who's responsible, or when?!

0:10:02 > 0:10:05I would have used a throw-away gun.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Off the record.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12KNOCK AT DOOR Mary-Beth? Yeah.

0:10:15 > 0:10:21You should've just undone the chain and gone to bed. You sounded shook up on the phone. You OK?

0:10:33 > 0:10:39Did you eat? Mm-mm. I'll scramble you up some eggs. I don't want them. You gotta eat, don't you?

0:10:43 > 0:10:46How's Chris? Oh, she's all right, I guess.

0:10:46 > 0:10:50You know Christine. If she wasn't all right, you'd never know it.

0:10:50 > 0:10:54It shouldn't have happened. We stopped by a market to g...

0:10:54 > 0:10:59It makes me so angry. I always say, "Don't go off by yourself and...!"

0:10:59 > 0:11:03Take it easy. It's all over. What...? Come on.

0:11:06 > 0:11:10I'll sprinkle some Parmesan cheese in it, the way you like it. ..OK?

0:11:14 > 0:11:18The kid is real young, Harv. He's like...

0:11:18 > 0:11:21two, three years older than Harv Junior.

0:11:23 > 0:11:27His poor mother. Was it a good shoot?

0:11:27 > 0:11:31Yeah. Yeah, he was coming after her with a baseball bat.

0:11:31 > 0:11:35He tried to kill her. Why's a kid do a thing like that?

0:11:37 > 0:11:41I'll get you some milk. You'll sleep better. We're out of milk.

0:11:41 > 0:11:45That's how come I went by the market. I got some on the way home.

0:12:11 > 0:12:16This is Dory McKenna. I'm not home, but if you want to leave a message,

0:12:16 > 0:12:20wait for the tone and I will get right back to you. BEEP

0:12:20 > 0:12:24Uh, hi. Give me a call when you get home. I...

0:12:25 > 0:12:28Just give me a call.

0:12:39 > 0:12:43TV ANNOUNCER: ..With temperatures heading into the upper 30s

0:12:43 > 0:12:45in Connecticut and New Jersey.

0:12:45 > 0:12:49Tomorrow, we'll have highs in the 50s in metropolitan New York

0:12:49 > 0:12:53with the winds coming in at 10 to 15mph.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56That's it for the weather. Back to you, Pam.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58Thank you, Sid.

0:12:58 > 0:13:03And now for a special report live from East 118th St in Manhattan

0:13:03 > 0:13:07we go to our nightly reporter, Arturo Perez, on the scene.

0:13:07 > 0:13:11Pam, I'm in Spanish Harlem, scene of a shooting at 7pm this evening.

0:13:11 > 0:13:17The police cars and ambulance are gone, but the residents of this community are angry and confused

0:13:17 > 0:13:21at another in a series of police shootings in the neighbourhood.

0:13:21 > 0:13:25Tonight, an unarmed 15-year-old Puerto Rican boy, Jesus Pinero,

0:13:25 > 0:13:30was shot and critically wounded by a police detective.

0:13:41 > 0:13:45If the guy had more money than me, I could understand it.

0:13:45 > 0:13:50This turkey's a graduate student, and get this - Romance languages.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53He must be doing something right, Victor.

0:13:53 > 0:13:57Probably talks all that mushy stuff to her in Russian.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59Russian isn't a Romance language.

0:14:01 > 0:14:05I checked with the physician. The patient isn't critical.

0:14:05 > 0:14:11I'm sorry, but we cannot release a blood sample while a patient is not in a mental condition to consent.

0:14:11 > 0:14:17Excuse me, but it's potential evidence. It could influence the way this case is being handled.

0:14:17 > 0:14:24It is a violation of patient rights and 5th Amendment protection from self-incrimination. Excuse me.

0:14:24 > 0:14:28A fellow officer's career and reputation are on the line here.

0:14:28 > 0:14:33My responsibility's to the patient. Now, I have business to attend to.

0:14:38 > 0:14:42They just love to bust your chops. She's just doing her job.

0:14:42 > 0:14:46Marcus, I have to ask you something. You're married, right?

0:14:46 > 0:14:51And you're approaching your early middle years, right? Early middle years?

0:14:51 > 0:14:55Well, you're not 21 any more. Remind me(!)

0:14:59 > 0:15:05Do you... Well, do you sense a...drop-off in...

0:15:06 > 0:15:09..in performance as you're getting older?

0:15:12 > 0:15:17Uh, Victor, this is very personal stuff.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19Yeah, Marcus, we're partners, right?

0:15:19 > 0:15:26I mean, if I can't talk to you about this kind of thing, who else can I talk to about it? ..Yeah.

0:15:26 > 0:15:31Um, well, from a purely physiological point of view...

0:15:31 > 0:15:32yes.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35What do you do about it?

0:15:38 > 0:15:40What CAN you do?

0:15:42 > 0:15:48Anyway, there ARE other things important to a woman besides...

0:15:50 > 0:15:52You understand me, right?

0:15:55 > 0:15:57Like what?

0:16:00 > 0:16:02Like, um, intimacy?

0:16:03 > 0:16:07Tenderness...um, you know - technique.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11Technique. Technique.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15Marcus, I have read The Sensuous Woman.

0:16:15 > 0:16:21I have also been aware of all the erogenous zones from A to Z.

0:16:22 > 0:16:26Believe me, there's nothing wrong with my technique.

0:16:30 > 0:16:35What do you know about vitamin E? It's good for your complexion.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42I resent this. Standard operating procedure.

0:16:42 > 0:16:46Officers involved in shooting incidents are assigned clerical duty

0:16:46 > 0:16:50pending the outcome of the investigation. Is Greco behind it?

0:16:50 > 0:16:57The Firearms Review Team is behind YOU, whether or not you've got the good sense to realise it.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00It'll be cleared up in a day or two and...

0:17:00 > 0:17:06Right, sir? There are no outside caseloads for the duration of an internal investigation.

0:17:06 > 0:17:12Lacey here will be getting all the blisters while you will be leading the life of Riley.

0:17:12 > 0:17:18I say enjoy it while you can. ..Right, Lacey? Yes, sir. Doesn't sound too bad to me.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22How long do I get to be so lucky?

0:17:22 > 0:17:28Until we get all the evidence before the Grand Jury and they rule that there was no improper behaviour.

0:17:28 > 0:17:32Four days, five days, a week at the most. Not long.

0:17:32 > 0:17:37Well, if it isn't the talk of the town herself. Seen this? I saw it.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40It's the afternoon edition - it's even juicier.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43Must have been a slow day for the news.

0:17:43 > 0:17:49I direct your attention to the second paragraph. "Allegedly armed with a baseball bat,

0:17:49 > 0:17:54"a 15-year-old from a PUERTO RICAN community was shot point-blank

0:17:54 > 0:17:59"by off-duty detective Christine Cagney, who CLAIMED the youngster was threatening her."

0:17:59 > 0:18:03I don't care for their words, but those are the facts.

0:18:03 > 0:18:09When is public opinion based on facts? We look bad! What do you think Community Watch was about?

0:18:09 > 0:18:13We need to improve our image in Spanish Harlem, not destroy it.

0:18:13 > 0:18:17The fact that he's a Puerto Rican juvenile doesn't make him innocent.

0:18:17 > 0:18:24How do we know he didn't have a record a yard long? It makes no difference if he's an axe murderer.

0:18:24 > 0:18:30Juvenile records are sealed. We have to subpoena them. From our own department?! He's a juvenile!

0:18:30 > 0:18:34With the strength of four men twice his size and a hardwood bat!

0:18:34 > 0:18:38I already told the Review officers I thought he was on dust.

0:18:38 > 0:18:44Pure conjecture on your part. ..So have we got the lab test back on the PCP?

0:18:44 > 0:18:48Petrie and Isbecki went to the hospital this morning

0:18:48 > 0:18:54and...we can't order a DD45 while the boy is still in a coma. We have to wait for the patient's consent.

0:18:54 > 0:19:00There must be some way we can get around that. Not unless the boy... dies. That's all we need.

0:19:00 > 0:19:03COMMOTION Oh, here come the vultures.

0:19:03 > 0:19:10I don't want you saying anything to the press, anything at all. You got that, Cagney?

0:19:11 > 0:19:15We'll have an official statement this afternoon at 1 Police Plaza.

0:19:15 > 0:19:21I'd like to speak to the officer involved. She has no statement. Can she tell us what the NYPD can do

0:19:21 > 0:19:27to regain the trust of residents of Spanish Harlem after her brutal and unwarranted shooting...?

0:19:27 > 0:19:33Brutal and unwarranted?! Statements by officers involved in department investigations are prohibited.

0:19:33 > 0:19:39We are aggressively investigating to determine that the officer acted within department guidelines.

0:19:39 > 0:19:45No individual who may contaminate the integrity of the best of our men and women will be tolerated.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48OK, show's over. Maybe you can answer...

0:19:48 > 0:19:52You wanna play 20 questions, play somewhere else. We have work to do.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55So do I, Officer. Lieutenant! Lieutenant Samuels.

0:19:55 > 0:19:59I take it you're Detective Cagney's commanding officer? Good guess.

0:19:59 > 0:20:05You're responsible for releasing Cagney's service record. Excuse me? The Freedom of Information Act.

0:20:05 > 0:20:11"Any private citizen is entitled to request the record of a public servant for examination."

0:20:11 > 0:20:15Any private citizen has the right to go through the proper channels!

0:20:15 > 0:20:19The paperwork's on its way! ..Come on, guys, let's go.

0:20:19 > 0:20:23Hey, you wanna start something?! SHOUTING

0:20:23 > 0:20:27I don't believe it. I do not... Are you here?! Yeah.

0:20:27 > 0:20:31That kid tried to kill me! You got any aspirin?

0:20:31 > 0:20:38I can't get his arrest sheet without a subpoena and ANY jerk can get MY records! That's the law.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40Well, it's damn unfair! That too.

0:20:42 > 0:20:44So where you dashing off to?

0:20:44 > 0:20:49See Dory. You finally got in touch with him, huh? No. Not really.

0:20:49 > 0:20:53My answering machine talked to his answering machine. Chris?

0:20:53 > 0:20:58If you want to talk and... Mary Beth... ..telephone...

0:20:58 > 0:21:02I don't want any of your Mother Teresa routine.

0:21:02 > 0:21:04I'm just fine, OK? Sure.

0:21:21 > 0:21:26'Aren't you ever home? It's McKenna. I'm afraid tonight is off.

0:21:26 > 0:21:33'I'm down here on the trail of some major suppliers and we're close to collaring the main man.

0:21:33 > 0:21:40'I'll give you a ring as soon as I hit town. By the way, I've got a surprise for you.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42'You'll love it.'

0:21:42 > 0:21:50'Hi, Officer Daughter. If you're free, I'm in Flanagan's from 8 o'clock on.'

0:21:50 > 0:21:53What did I tell you right from the start?

0:21:53 > 0:21:57You've got to keep on your toes at all times.

0:21:57 > 0:22:02One time, we were frisking some guys. We took a switchblade...

0:22:02 > 0:22:10It was that long! His partner jumps my partner and starts to run for it.

0:22:10 > 0:22:14Jack the Ripper knees me... south of the border.

0:22:14 > 0:22:18He's grasping and clawing, trying to get his hands on the blade!

0:22:18 > 0:22:24It took every bit of juice I had just to get my hands on my piece. What happened?

0:22:24 > 0:22:30I shot the creep before he sliced me. They only fool with Charles Fitzgerald Cagney once. He died?

0:22:30 > 0:22:33Nah. He was pretty tough.

0:22:33 > 0:22:38But he did all his time at Attica. He never came on MY beat again.

0:22:42 > 0:22:46So did the Department stay behind you? Behind me?

0:22:46 > 0:22:53I got a commendation from the Commissioner. I was doing my job - protecting the streets.

0:22:53 > 0:22:57Fellow officers respect you for that and people look up to you.

0:22:57 > 0:23:02Well, police work's a little more complicated now. Yeah, I know.

0:23:02 > 0:23:08You've got review boards. Got to ask permission before you shoot, then they ask you 600 questions!

0:23:08 > 0:23:11Questions I don't mind. I know we are accountable.

0:23:11 > 0:23:18Hey! Guy comes at you with a baseball bat, what're you supposed to do?! ..Did they blow it?

0:23:18 > 0:23:22Yeah. Pathetic! See what the Knicks are doing.

0:23:22 > 0:23:26You believe those Jets? They go for three and they miss it!

0:23:27 > 0:23:33Do you want another drink? 'Our special feature updating last night's shooting in Spanish Harlem.'

0:23:33 > 0:23:37I don't want to see that. I do NOT wanna see it. Hey.

0:23:37 > 0:23:40Hold it. You've got nothing to be ashamed of.

0:23:40 > 0:23:47'..The mother of the young victim still in serious condition from gunshot wounds he suffered

0:23:47 > 0:23:51'in a darkened alleyway off 118th St in Spanish Harlem.

0:23:56 > 0:24:01'Senora Pinero, can you share your feelings at this moment with us?

0:24:02 > 0:24:06'I...I be...

0:24:06 > 0:24:11'triste...muy triste, Senor.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18'Muy triste. Sad. Very sad.

0:24:18 > 0:24:22'And now the universal language worth 1,000 words...

0:24:24 > 0:24:28'The image of a beloved son, shown here

0:24:28 > 0:24:35'in the robes he wore as an altar boy, a good boy who worked hard to support his widowed mother...'

0:24:35 > 0:24:38I don't believe this.

0:24:38 > 0:24:45He's just milking it. '..Because an off-duty police officer thought she heard noises in the alleyway

0:24:45 > 0:24:48'that Jesus was walking through on his way home,

0:24:48 > 0:24:54'thought the baseball bat he had been playing with just a few hours before was a weapon,

0:24:54 > 0:25:00'thought that a young, brown-skinned boy...' What are you doing?

0:25:00 > 0:25:05I just ate dinner! I don't have the stomach for that crap! Hey, wait!

0:25:05 > 0:25:09Nobody would believe you'd shoot a kid like that without real provocation!

0:25:09 > 0:25:13He tried to kill me! That isn't provocation enough?

0:25:13 > 0:25:17Yeah, sure, th-that's what I said! You have witnesses, right?

0:25:17 > 0:25:22Goodnight, Charlie. Where are you going?! I'm on YOUR side!

0:25:24 > 0:25:28Got a temper just like her mother's.

0:25:30 > 0:25:34VOICES SHOUT, OFFICE IS BUSTLING

0:25:38 > 0:25:41OFFICE GROWS QUIET

0:25:51 > 0:25:54What's the matter with you?

0:25:55 > 0:26:00Hey! Just cos I'm a big TV star now doesn't mean you have to worry.

0:26:01 > 0:26:05How could I forget my friends who knew me when, huh?

0:26:05 > 0:26:10It would have been nice if someone had sent a limo to the house...

0:26:10 > 0:26:14Christine. Christine. What? The boy died at 3.15 this morning.

0:26:19 > 0:26:23You must have strong roots. I'd have a fistful of hair...

0:26:23 > 0:26:28You know what Perez is gonna do with this? Christine, the facts...

0:26:28 > 0:26:35No-one ever listens to the facts when you've got a media con artist planning those melodramatic stunts.

0:26:35 > 0:26:42Like last night. Did you like the bit about the kid taking care of the poor widowed mother?

0:26:42 > 0:26:44Maybe he was.

0:26:45 > 0:26:50It doesn't matter because the fact is... It matters a whole lot -

0:26:50 > 0:26:53if a member of the Grand Jury ever saw Perez's report.

0:26:53 > 0:26:59He made me out to be a gunslinger, blasting away underprivileged children. It was self-defence.

0:26:59 > 0:27:06Damn right it was. And I'M the one getting crucified! I did what any good cop would have done, right?

0:27:06 > 0:27:11I remember how I felt when I killed that kid... I asked you a question.

0:27:11 > 0:27:15Your life was in danger, you saved your life.

0:27:15 > 0:27:21Any cop who gave a damn about himself or the job would do the same thing. So make peace with it.

0:27:21 > 0:27:24Yeah.

0:27:26 > 0:27:30At least now we can run a drug test.

0:27:31 > 0:27:38Shouldn't the NYPD take a long, hard look at the citizen's complaint on Detective Cagney's record,

0:27:38 > 0:27:42charging her with inflicting bodily harm in a routine questioning

0:27:42 > 0:27:46at a family disturbance? Family disturbance?

0:27:46 > 0:27:54The citizen to whom Mr Perez is referring is one of the biggest pimps in the South Bronx.

0:27:54 > 0:28:00You're off limits, Cagney! Does that entitle you to deny the man his civil rights?

0:28:00 > 0:28:07The same way you denied Jesus the right to reach manhood? What about MY rights? Button it, Cagney!

0:28:07 > 0:28:11Why won't the Department discipline those officers who use excess force?

0:28:11 > 0:28:16Well, I-I don't believe that, er, there is sufficient evidence

0:28:16 > 0:28:23to, er...suggest that Detective Cagney has done anything but serve the citizens of New York

0:28:23 > 0:28:28in any but a responsible manner. Then why was she overheard to remark at the shooting scene

0:28:28 > 0:28:33that...I'm quoting here, "I just wish I'd had a 45."

0:28:33 > 0:28:41Now, we presumed that to mean that a 45 could blow a bigger hole... I'm not gonna comment on hearsay.

0:28:41 > 0:28:45Can you comment...? No, I will not! This interview is finished!

0:28:45 > 0:28:49Out of my office! Did you get the door slamming in my face?

0:29:41 > 0:29:43Sit down, Cagney.

0:29:45 > 0:29:47Go ahead. Take a load off.

0:29:55 > 0:29:59What's the matter? You never take a coffee break?

0:30:01 > 0:30:05I guess a little "caffeine" wouldn't hurt.

0:30:06 > 0:30:08Thank you.

0:30:08 > 0:30:11We got a good squad here, huh?

0:30:11 > 0:30:14I think probably the best in the city.

0:30:14 > 0:30:19You know long have I've been on the force? 20 years? 22.

0:30:19 > 0:30:23You're a very dedicated man. Who said masochism can't be fun?

0:30:28 > 0:30:3022 years.

0:30:31 > 0:30:34Had a lot of close calls, but...

0:30:34 > 0:30:38I never had a bullet of mine take another person's life.

0:30:41 > 0:30:44That's not what I meant to say.

0:30:44 > 0:30:47What I meant is...

0:30:49 > 0:30:57They give judges and juries months to make a decision that they expect us to deliver in a split second,

0:30:57 > 0:31:00just like that.

0:31:01 > 0:31:04Supposed to act like God.

0:31:06 > 0:31:10The most you can do is just muster up the best you got, that's all.

0:31:13 > 0:31:16I guess I...I was lucky.

0:31:20 > 0:31:24I can't say that I know how you feel because I don't.

0:31:24 > 0:31:30A lot of cops pull pension without having to go through what you're going through.

0:31:30 > 0:31:34But I tell you this much, Cagney, I can tell you this...

0:31:34 > 0:31:39there is not one of us that doesn't wonder what it would be like

0:31:39 > 0:31:43and how we would act in the same situation.

0:31:43 > 0:31:50There's not one of us that doesn't understand the kind of guts it takes to pull through all of it.

0:32:00 > 0:32:06I imagine, er...you've probably got plans for tonight. No, I don't.

0:32:06 > 0:32:08Oh, well, I do.

0:32:10 > 0:32:12Well...

0:32:13 > 0:32:15Thank you for the coffee.

0:32:22 > 0:32:25KNOCK ON DOOR Who is it?

0:32:25 > 0:32:28The man of your dreams!

0:32:31 > 0:32:33Hello!

0:32:33 > 0:32:37Miss me? ..Well, I missed you.

0:32:39 > 0:32:41So what do you think of my surprise?

0:32:41 > 0:32:44What surprise?

0:32:44 > 0:32:45Oh...

0:32:45 > 0:32:48Take a good look.

0:32:48 > 0:32:50You shaved off your moustache.

0:32:50 > 0:32:54Right! So what do you think of it? Nice.

0:32:56 > 0:33:03It would have been considerate if you'd let me know you were coming. What, and spoil the spontaneity?

0:33:03 > 0:33:10Besides, this way, I get to surprise any competition that might be lurking around in my absence.

0:33:10 > 0:33:15Actually, I always liked your moustache. I'll grow it back.

0:33:20 > 0:33:23Caviar and champagne.

0:33:23 > 0:33:25What's the occasion?

0:33:25 > 0:33:29The champagne is for you and the caviar is for me.

0:33:29 > 0:33:32The occasion is you and me.

0:33:32 > 0:33:36And the collaring of the biggest middleman between Boston and DC.

0:33:36 > 0:33:43The real sweet part is, the guy had just hustled in a shipment of horse worth a half-million dollars.

0:33:43 > 0:33:45All waiting for us, easy as pie.

0:33:45 > 0:33:48Congratulations.

0:33:48 > 0:33:53Wait till you taste this caviar. McKenna, you are on a roll.

0:33:53 > 0:33:56Ah! Bravo!

0:33:58 > 0:34:04This is one of the biggest busts to come down in the tri-state area since that trawler in '82.

0:34:07 > 0:34:10Here's to the big collar.

0:34:10 > 0:34:12They don't get much bigger.

0:34:15 > 0:34:17Mmm! Fantastic.

0:34:24 > 0:34:30It was a good shoot, Chris. The guy came at you with an intent to kill.

0:34:34 > 0:34:38I just know he was high on something, Dory. I know he was.

0:34:39 > 0:34:45You know how those guys get that are on PCP? They...

0:34:47 > 0:34:53They're almost superhuman, they're flying so high that you just can't even touch them.

0:34:53 > 0:34:56They don't hear and they don't feel...

0:34:58 > 0:35:03And that first bullet... It's like it never even touched him.

0:35:03 > 0:35:07Weren't the lab tests conclusive? Haven't got them yet.

0:35:07 > 0:35:13Well, someone's falling down on the job. Kick a little butt to get results.

0:35:13 > 0:35:18Dory... Did he have a record? We're waiting for the subpoena. Listen!

0:35:18 > 0:35:24I don't want you involved in this! I'll get this thing fixed up! I don't want you to fix anything!

0:35:24 > 0:35:30What's wrong? I don't want you riding in here on your white horse to save the day!

0:35:32 > 0:35:34I can solve my own problems!

0:35:36 > 0:35:39What's getting loaded gonna do?

0:35:39 > 0:35:43Seems to me I used to say the same thing to you not so long ago.

0:35:43 > 0:35:47It seems to me I finally stopped kidding myself and asked for help.

0:35:47 > 0:35:50Don't you patronise me.

0:35:50 > 0:35:53Here. Give me that.

0:35:57 > 0:36:00I'm sorry. Look what you did.

0:36:00 > 0:36:04Look what you did! Chris... No! Just get away from me!

0:36:12 > 0:36:14I'm sorry.

0:36:14 > 0:36:17I'm so tired!

0:36:21 > 0:36:23Oh, I'm so tired!

0:36:24 > 0:36:30Lacey! Your partner's a little late this morning. Really, sir? I hadn't noticed.

0:36:30 > 0:36:34But I do know she stayed late last night to finish up these DD5s.

0:36:34 > 0:36:38Tell her I want to see her. Yes. ..Lieutenant? Yeah?

0:36:38 > 0:36:40I was wondering what...

0:36:40 > 0:36:47Is there anything I can do to help, sir? I'd like to handle this on my own, if it's OK with you.

0:36:47 > 0:36:50Oh. OK with me, sir.

0:36:51 > 0:36:57How's Chris? Late. Let me know when she gets in. I'll put you on the list.

0:36:58 > 0:37:04Vitamin E, Victor? Yeah. I've got a problem with my complexion.

0:37:04 > 0:37:10Looks OK to me. It's always good to take this stuff before you have a problem. Preventative medicine.

0:37:10 > 0:37:12Want one?

0:37:19 > 0:37:23Morning. Good morning. You look a little tired out, Christine.

0:37:23 > 0:37:25Dory's back in town. Oh.

0:37:25 > 0:37:28You had a good night, then, huh?

0:37:28 > 0:37:30Had its moments.

0:37:30 > 0:37:36I fielded three calls for you, Petrie wants to talk to you and the Lieutenant wants to see you.

0:37:38 > 0:37:41I don't know.

0:37:48 > 0:37:50Christine?

0:37:57 > 0:37:59You wanted to see me?

0:37:59 > 0:38:05Yeah. Nice of you to join us this morning. Sorry. It was a strange night.

0:38:05 > 0:38:09Well, it's gonna be a good day. DD45 is on top.

0:38:09 > 0:38:14They found .75 milligrams of PCP in his bloodstream.

0:38:14 > 0:38:20His juvenile record's underneath - three priors for burglary in the last seven months.

0:38:20 > 0:38:23So will that do it? Yeah.

0:38:23 > 0:38:28I'll be surprised if we don't get a justified homicide from the Grand Jury in 24 hours.

0:38:29 > 0:38:33So that's it? Isn't that enough?

0:38:34 > 0:38:36Thank you.

0:38:43 > 0:38:49She said, "You can't stoke a dead fire." So I said, "There are still sparks between us."

0:38:49 > 0:38:53I was trying to pick up on how her mind works.

0:38:53 > 0:38:56You were mirroring her metaphor. ..Yeah.

0:38:56 > 0:38:59You could say that. Anyway...

0:38:59 > 0:39:03She says, "Speak for yourself." So I say, "Hey...

0:39:03 > 0:39:08"I know what women like you want." She says, "Prove it."

0:39:10 > 0:39:16So the jury comes in. Saturday night, her place. Good luck, Victor. No problem.

0:39:18 > 0:39:21It looks good, Samuels thinks.

0:39:21 > 0:39:23So...

0:39:23 > 0:39:25So?

0:39:27 > 0:39:30It's not over yet, Chris.

0:39:30 > 0:39:34Oh, I know that. Samuels has... You know that's not what I mean.

0:39:38 > 0:39:42Look...you think I don't know what's been going on with you?

0:39:42 > 0:39:49I was in the very same shoes you're standing in after I killed that kid up in Harlem.

0:39:49 > 0:39:51Pretending...

0:39:51 > 0:39:58that the only thing on my mind was putting the shooting and the bad press behind me.

0:39:58 > 0:40:04Lying to myself, just like you are. I've been straight with everyone... Yeah, everybody except yourself.

0:40:04 > 0:40:09Cagney, you killed somebody! A real, live human being.

0:40:09 > 0:40:13Not one of those cardboard dummies in target practice.

0:40:16 > 0:40:22Damn right I killed somebody. But that's what I was trained to do. Of course.

0:40:22 > 0:40:28THEY taught us how to do it. But nobody told us how to deal with the consequences.

0:40:28 > 0:40:32It's part of the job.

0:40:32 > 0:40:33Oh!

0:40:33 > 0:40:38Does that... Does that mean that you can't wish it didn't happen?!

0:40:38 > 0:40:44That you didn't have the weight of taking the life of some human being on your soul?!

0:40:49 > 0:40:53You've got some unfinished business, Chris.

0:41:01 > 0:41:08I'm sorry. I have a rent strike I have to cover tonight. What about tomorrow night? If there's time.

0:41:08 > 0:41:14Hey! You had time to build a case against my partner, made her look like Adolf Eichmann!

0:41:14 > 0:41:21You have a responsibility to set the record straight. Don't lecture me about responsibility.

0:41:21 > 0:41:29If it weren't for people like me, Watergate would be just another hotel in the Potomac. It's unfair!

0:41:29 > 0:41:34It's editorialising and unethical! It stinks and we both know it!

0:41:34 > 0:41:40Ethics is a philosophical term. I don't deal in philosophy, I deal in the real world.

0:41:40 > 0:41:45No realer than mine! What about poverty, the slums, unemployment?

0:41:45 > 0:41:49What about an Hispanic community drowning in crime,

0:41:49 > 0:41:53insufficiently protected by the police and neglected by City Hall?

0:41:53 > 0:41:56How is cutting down one police officer gonna fix that?

0:41:56 > 0:42:01Maybe we'll get police protection instead of police brutality.

0:42:01 > 0:42:06Jesus Pinero tried to kill my partner and she DID kill him.

0:42:06 > 0:42:10That's a tragedy all round and you only told one side!

0:42:10 > 0:42:15He didn't deserve to die. Jesus was a kid who made some mistakes.

0:42:15 > 0:42:19Your partner shot too fast, that's all there is to it!

0:42:19 > 0:42:23Christine Cagney had to make a decision her life depended on.

0:42:23 > 0:42:27What kind of decisions do you have to make - what colour tie to wear?

0:42:29 > 0:42:33Pam, have we gotten those rent strike reports?

0:42:52 > 0:42:54Si?

0:42:57 > 0:43:02Senora Pinero? May I come in, please?

0:43:05 > 0:43:07Thank you.

0:43:11 > 0:43:13Are you from the welfare department?

0:43:16 > 0:43:18No. I'm sorry...

0:43:22 > 0:43:24I'm Detective Cagney.

0:43:24 > 0:43:28SHE SPEAKS IN SPANISH

0:43:28 > 0:43:31If you would let me... No! No!

0:43:33 > 0:43:35..explain to you.

0:43:46 > 0:43:49I never saw him like this.

0:43:55 > 0:43:58When I saw him, he was very angry.

0:43:58 > 0:44:02And he was very dangerous.

0:44:02 > 0:44:05He didn't know what he was doing.

0:44:10 > 0:44:13Senora... I never wanted to kill your son.

0:44:15 > 0:44:17I just wanted to stop him.

0:44:17 > 0:44:20The drugs just made him too strong.

0:44:23 > 0:44:27Are you understanding any...?

0:44:47 > 0:44:50I came here today to...

0:44:50 > 0:44:54let you know that I'm sorry your son died.

0:44:55 > 0:44:59And I'm sorry that I was the one who shot him.

0:45:03 > 0:45:06And, er...

0:45:06 > 0:45:08I'm triste.

0:45:11 > 0:45:12Very sad.
