0:01:36 > 0:01:40Yes, Inspector, I realise that there is nothing personal involved. It...

0:01:40 > 0:01:43No. It...

0:01:43 > 0:01:48No! No, No, I-I understand your position perfectly!

0:01:48 > 0:01:51- Good morning!- You think so?

0:01:51 > 0:01:53So sue me. I'm an optimist.

0:01:53 > 0:01:58Inspector, I don't really care whose decision it was.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01All I'm saying is I've got enough problems here without adding more!

0:02:03 > 0:02:06- Yes, I-I am listening to you. - What's up?

0:02:06 > 0:02:09They're all very capable and...

0:02:11 > 0:02:15- Well, I'm in the habit of making the assignments here.- What's going on?

0:02:15 > 0:02:17We've got ourselves a new transfer.

0:02:17 > 0:02:21- The lieutenant's doing what he can to rectify the matter.- Is that him?

0:02:21 > 0:02:23Well, he looks harmless enough from where I'm standing.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26Better check your eyesight. That's Patrick Lowell.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28The Patrick Lowell?

0:02:28 > 0:02:30- Mm-hm. - Is he getting transferred here?

0:02:30 > 0:02:33Say what you will about him, the man's got guts.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36Guts? You call ratting on your partners guts?

0:02:36 > 0:02:39Listen, I don't care if a cop pedals dirty pictures in church,

0:02:39 > 0:02:43- you just don't go squealing on another cop.- Cops don't rat on cops.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45It's not like I'm agreeing with what the guy did.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47I sure hope not.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52Cagney?

0:02:52 > 0:02:54Yeah.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00- Yes, Lieutenant?- Have a seat.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05Thank you, but I'm fine right here. Thank you, Lieutenant.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08- Detective Lowell, this is Sergeant Cagney.- How do you do?

0:03:08 > 0:03:12Detective Lowell's been transferred here from the 7/4 in Brooklyn.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Seems they've got an overload of staff there.- Is that a fact?- Yeah.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17Seeing as we are understaffed here,

0:03:17 > 0:03:20the detective is going to fill the gap.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22Lieutenant, if you don't mind,

0:03:22 > 0:03:25I'm due at the taskforce headquarters in about 35 minutes.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Cagney? Detective Lowell,

0:03:27 > 0:03:30- if you don't mind, I'd like a word with the sergeant.- Not at all.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37I'll just go outside, try to make myself comfortable.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39Cagney?

0:03:39 > 0:03:44You know that, er...I've been on this job a long time now.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47Long enough to know that on occasion,

0:03:47 > 0:03:50we have to do things that we may not feel too crazy about doing.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53What I'm trying to say to you is that there are times

0:03:53 > 0:03:55when we do things just solely,

0:03:55 > 0:03:59- and I mean solely, for the good of the department.- I understand.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03Ah! What the hell?

0:04:03 > 0:04:05Lowell's been assigned to you as a partner.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08What?

0:04:08 > 0:04:11- No! NO!- Save yourself a migraine.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Squawking's going to get you nowhere.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16I should have some say about with whom I work!

0:04:16 > 0:04:18Yeah, well, ordinarily, you would.

0:04:18 > 0:04:19It's just that in this case,

0:04:19 > 0:04:22Inspector Knelman thinks you're the right officer for the job.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26- Oh, really?- Yes. And I happen to think you're someone whose sense of professionalism

0:04:26 > 0:04:28far outweighs any personal feelings you might have.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Oh, please, Lieutenant!

0:04:30 > 0:04:32The bottom line is Lacey's on maternity leave,

0:04:32 > 0:04:35- makes you the only one available. - What is this?

0:04:35 > 0:04:37- Has Knelman got it in for me, or what?- Cagney, enough!

0:04:37 > 0:04:41You know he's had it in for me ever since I brought Hennessey up on charges.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44- That's what this is about, isn't it? - Cagney, you're a sergeant now.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47I want you to pull yourself together and start acting like one!

0:04:47 > 0:04:51Now, there's been a series of stickups at the automatic tellers in the Wall Street area.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54I'm going to take you off the taskforce and I'm putting you

0:04:54 > 0:04:56and Lowell on stickup! Here!

0:05:02 > 0:05:06Why not? Hm? I mean, what, a 200 ATM mugging

0:05:06 > 0:05:10is much more important than a 4 million armed car robbery.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12Lieutenant, excuse me, please.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23Let me give you a little advice.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25Don't get too comfortable.

0:05:28 > 0:05:334.7 million lifted with hardly a trace from an armoured car.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36- My bet's on organised crime. - Let's bet on one thing at a time.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38You guys all placed your bets with Coleman yet?

0:05:38 > 0:05:40I heard Lowell had his locker set on fire at the 7/4

0:05:40 > 0:05:44and still stuck it out 10 days. I'm putting down 20 that he stays 15.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46It'll take longer than that.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49It'll take three days for him to realise everybody hates him.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52It'll take four more for him to realise how much everyone hates him,

0:05:52 > 0:05:54probably another week for it to sink in

0:05:54 > 0:05:56and then another week to get a transfer.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58I think we're talking about 21 days here.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01- Coleman bet Lowell won't last a week at the 14th.- Yeah?

0:06:01 > 0:06:05- What's the 14th have that the 7/4 doesn't?- For starters, you, Isbecki.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08LAUGHTER

0:06:08 > 0:06:09Can you believe this crap?

0:06:09 > 0:06:12I get pulled off the armoured car taskforce.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14The only glory detail of the month, you understand,

0:06:14 > 0:06:18and they put me on some penny-ante money machine muggings.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21Breathe. In, out, in, out. Perfect.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23And then to top the whole thing off, I get Lowell as a partner.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25Which, if you don't mind my saying so, Mary Beth,

0:06:25 > 0:06:29would not have happened if you and Harvey had controlled yourselves.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Just concentrate on the focal point, OK?

0:06:31 > 0:06:34You know what it's going to be like working with this guy, huh?

0:06:34 > 0:06:37There's not a cop in the city that doesn't want to spit in his face.

0:06:37 > 0:06:41Did you also know he was still in uniform when he pulled this stunt?

0:06:41 > 0:06:44That's right. Equal breaths, equal breaths. Easy, equal breaths.

0:06:44 > 0:06:45That's it. Perfect.

0:06:45 > 0:06:51Oh! I wish you'd just deliver so I can get out of this mess.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54There. 60 seconds. All right.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57One last, final, cleansing breath.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11Perfect.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18As I recall, this man blew the whistle on six police officers on a take.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21That's guys using their badge to line their pockets.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23I'd say they deserved to be weeded out.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25I didn't say that they didn't. But how did Lowell do it?

0:07:25 > 0:07:28He broke ranks and he spills his guts to outside agencies.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30He went to the press!

0:07:30 > 0:07:34Maybe he tried going through the department and didn't get anywhere. It happens, you know.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36Well, maybe he should've tried a little harder.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39You don't have to hang the department's dirty laundry out in public.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41Now, where have I heard that before?

0:07:42 > 0:07:44What's that supposed to mean?

0:07:44 > 0:07:46Oh, that's the same line Knelman used

0:07:46 > 0:07:50when you brought charges against Hennessey for sexual harassment.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53Are you saying what Lowell and I did is the same thing?

0:07:53 > 0:07:55Well, I'm not saying it's exactly the same.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57It isn't even close to the same thing!

0:07:57 > 0:08:00- I kept my charges in house and you know it, Mary Beth!- Chris?

0:08:00 > 0:08:04- Where are my mittens?- I'm saying that you acted out of integrity.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07- Maybe Lowell did, too. - I know they're here somewhere.

0:08:09 > 0:08:13Christine, you showed that a police officer cannot be above the law.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16- So did Lowell.- Found them. - Oh, Chris, come on!

0:08:16 > 0:08:17And you know what really ticks me off?

0:08:17 > 0:08:21He got a TV movie and a gold shield for it. And what did I get?

0:08:21 > 0:08:24Flack from the brass. And now I have Patrick Lowell as a partner.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26There's the difference!

0:08:28 > 0:08:30Chris...! DOOR SLAMS SHUT

0:08:45 > 0:08:47Oh, it's cold out there!

0:08:48 > 0:08:52Nature has no business calling in weather like this.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02Cinnamon.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05My wife, Sylvia, ever since we moved to the country,

0:09:05 > 0:09:09she's got this thing about cinnamon and spices and natural stuff.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14Next thing you know, she's going to put dillweed in my hot chocolate.

0:09:14 > 0:09:16HE LAUGHS

0:09:18 > 0:09:20You want some coffee?

0:09:30 > 0:09:34My dad used to work with a Nat Cagney in Flushing. Is he any relation?

0:09:34 > 0:09:39My father's name is Charlie. And he's never worked in Flushing.

0:09:39 > 0:09:40Oh.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43Oh, then you're a police brat, too. Huh?

0:09:43 > 0:09:46- Boy, can I remember... - I don't want to hear about it.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51Well, I don't suppose you do.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55I read the papers, I see the news.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01I even saw your performance the day of his commission hearings.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05- I know all I want to know about you. - OK.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10- I get the picture. - Well, I'm going to skip yours.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12What's it going to be, a TV movie?

0:10:12 > 0:10:14About a cop wearing a crown of thorns

0:10:14 > 0:10:16who saves the world from six rotten apples?

0:10:18 > 0:10:22For what it's worth, I turned the TV movie down.

0:10:25 > 0:10:29The widow of the cop who killed himself. She'll be so glad.

0:10:31 > 0:10:37DISPATCHER: "Will all cars within the confines of the 14th Precinct attend 30.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40"Possibly mugging at the automatic teller machine.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43"The Lansing and Lafayette north-east corner."

0:10:43 > 0:10:45414 responding.

0:10:47 > 0:10:50SIRENS WAIL

0:10:56 > 0:10:59Then we seen the guy laying out in front of the money machine

0:10:59 > 0:11:01barely conscious and blood all over the place.

0:11:01 > 0:11:05And my buddy, he thinks it's a drunk that's passed out.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08But I ain't never seen a wino wearing Hunter Down loafers.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10You say you can't describe the car

0:11:10 > 0:11:14- and you didn't their licence plate, right?- No.

0:11:14 > 0:11:16Did you happen to get a clear look at any of the passengers?

0:11:16 > 0:11:18Only the driver.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20It was a white kid,

0:11:20 > 0:11:26dark hair and with one of those big purple thingamajigs on his face.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29- A strawberry mark? - Yeah, right, right.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32Did I happen to see you a couple of months ago on TV?

0:11:36 > 0:11:37Possible.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41Next stop, Hollywood.

0:11:42 > 0:11:43Thank you.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47Doughnuts. Doughnuts here.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49Courtesy of Mr Woo of Woo's Doughnut shop,

0:11:49 > 0:11:52who this morning became proud father of an 8lb baby boy.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55Bavarian cream! I hope he believes in large families.

0:11:55 > 0:11:59- That's OK, I'm a praline man myself. - I appreciate it.

0:12:00 > 0:12:01OK, thank you.

0:12:03 > 0:12:07Beat cop in Bayridge thinks he has a lead on the getaway driver.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10Punk kid that he knows. Fits the physical description.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12Matches the teller tape.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15Billy De Salvo, 1412 Towner Street. You ready?

0:12:17 > 0:12:20Oh! I'm sorry, it was a little accident.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33When you clean yourself up, I'll be in the car.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40LATIN MUSIC

0:12:45 > 0:12:48MOANING

0:13:04 > 0:13:08- Is this the De Salvo residence?- Yes.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10We'd like to talk to Billy, please.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12- He's not here. - Do you know where he went?

0:13:12 > 0:13:15No. Yes, he must be at work.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19His uncle has a garage and he works with him,

0:13:19 > 0:13:23and he thinks Billy has the makings for a real good mechanic.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25- Mind if we come in?- Uh...

0:13:28 > 0:13:29Wait a minute.

0:13:37 > 0:13:38He didn't do anything.

0:13:39 > 0:13:41I swear to God, he didn't do anything.

0:13:51 > 0:13:52Don't hurt him!

0:13:55 > 0:13:57Please, just stop!

0:14:01 > 0:14:03Freeze, police!

0:14:03 > 0:14:04Right there.

0:14:08 > 0:14:09Hold it right there.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17I didn't do nothing, Gina, I swear.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21I didn't do nothing, I swear!

0:14:21 > 0:14:24You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be

0:14:24 > 0:14:26held against you in a court of law.

0:14:26 > 0:14:27You have the right to an attorney,

0:14:27 > 0:14:29to have an attorney present during questioning.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35You know, I kind of hoped having a wife

0:14:35 > 0:14:38and a kid might help straighten Billy out.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40You see, me and Billy, we go way back.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43The first time I collared him, he must have been 11, 12 years old.

0:14:43 > 0:14:47About the same time he started running with the Straight Razors.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49Any chance that he is still with them?

0:14:49 > 0:14:51There's none of them left to be with.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53In fact, Billy is about the only one who isn't doing time in Attica.

0:14:53 > 0:14:55Any idea who he's running with now?

0:14:59 > 0:15:02I asked you a question, do you know who he is with these days?

0:15:08 > 0:15:09Is Billy with a gang now?

0:15:10 > 0:15:13You know, we've got about a half dozen gangs in Bayridge alone.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16Your best bet would be to check with the Youth Gang Division.

0:15:16 > 0:15:17OK, I'll do that. Thank you.

0:15:19 > 0:15:23Listen, for what it is worth, Billy has boosted his share of cars.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25He has even performed wheel service on occasion.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28But jumping people at money machines...

0:15:28 > 0:15:29It just doesn't sound like Billy.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31OK.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33You've been very helpful, thanks a lot.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35Is he with you?

0:15:35 > 0:15:36We ride in the same car.

0:15:41 > 0:15:45Prepare yourself, children, for a homebase that transforms

0:15:45 > 0:15:5025,000 individual police officers into a single unified force.

0:15:51 > 0:15:55What do you know, the fabulous foursome!

0:15:55 > 0:15:58Keeping the city safe against poor, defenceless armoured trucks.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01- How's it going? - It's a regular three-ring circus.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03- We'll see you back at court. - All right.

0:16:03 > 0:16:07Official word has it that terrorists are behind the robberies, so now all

0:16:07 > 0:16:11the teams are scrambling to pin the job on their favourite crackpot.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14Yeah, the 29 has got some black paramilitary leader

0:16:14 > 0:16:17and the 101 is sitting on some Puerto Rican revolutionary.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20My bets are on the neo-Nazis or the KKK.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22That's the spirit, Izbecki, eh!

0:16:22 > 0:16:25You crack this case for the glory of the old 1-4.

0:16:25 > 0:16:26Me personally,

0:16:26 > 0:16:30I've a very exciting rendezvous with the Youth Gang Division.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33Cagney, can I talk to your partner for a second?

0:16:33 > 0:16:35I just want to speak to you for a minute.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38Just wondering how things are settling in for you.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41- Oh, fine, thanks for asking. - Yeah, it must be real tough for you,

0:16:41 > 0:16:43knowing that everybody hates your guts and all.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46Well, what I'm trying to say is, I've come to the conclusion that

0:16:46 > 0:16:47you're not a quitter.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50I mean, what's the big deal that people treat you like a leper,

0:16:50 > 0:16:52you're a big boy, you make your own decisions.

0:16:52 > 0:16:55But I don't think you are the type to up and transfer just because

0:16:55 > 0:16:57- of a little coffee. - So, how much you bet?

0:16:57 > 0:16:59- What do you mean bet? - On how long I stick it out.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01I don't know what you're talking about.

0:17:01 > 0:17:03I hope you didn't bet too much.

0:17:03 > 0:17:06Because, you know, I tend to do the unexpected.

0:17:11 > 0:17:14- Bayridge... Bay... Bayridge?- Right.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19Sorry, must've been misplaced.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22Have you tried checking with the original precinct?

0:17:22 > 0:17:24We just came from there.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27They said that all the files on neighbourhood gangs are stored

0:17:27 > 0:17:28here, at central headquarters.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30Believe me, they've got their own copies.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33You show them a little muscle, they are bound to deliver.

0:17:33 > 0:17:37You expect me to schlep all the way back to Brooklyn?

0:17:37 > 0:17:40I'm on a case here, all right, I don't want to play games.

0:17:40 > 0:17:41Sarge, the file has been misplaced.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44Or thrown out, which is what should have happened to that partner

0:17:44 > 0:17:47of yours. The Force doesn't need rats like him.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51Officer, I want you to put on your bifocals and find me

0:17:51 > 0:17:55that file or I am going straight to your superior.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58OK, I'll tell you what I'll do - I'll keep looking.

0:17:58 > 0:18:00And if you come back later, without your friend, who knows,

0:18:00 > 0:18:02it may turn up.

0:18:11 > 0:18:12- Harvey!- Huh?

0:18:12 > 0:18:15Is my typing disturbing your ballgame?

0:18:15 > 0:18:18No, honey, it's OK. You go ahead, this game is a sleeper.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26Honey, do you want me to bring you some popcorn or beer or something?

0:18:27 > 0:18:29Mary Beth,

0:18:29 > 0:18:32if you don't want to type, no-one is making you.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35I'm so bored.

0:18:35 > 0:18:37- Typing the same thing over and over again.- Oh, over and over.

0:18:37 > 0:18:39"Now is the time for all blonde cops to come to the aid

0:18:39 > 0:18:42- "of their pregnant partner." - It was a change of pace.

0:18:42 > 0:18:45I'm sure Chris has a good reason for not showing up tonight.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48Listen, if she doesn't want to do my breathing exercises with me,

0:18:48 > 0:18:50I'm not going to push her.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53She's just a backup, you're the coach.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56- You are planning to be there, aren't you?- Ringside seat, kiddo.

0:18:56 > 0:19:00She called, she said she was working, but she is still mad.

0:19:00 > 0:19:03Whoa, I am not going to let you blame yourself for this one.

0:19:03 > 0:19:05She wanted you to agree with her about Lowell

0:19:05 > 0:19:07and you did not tell her what she wanted to hear.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10No, worse, Harv, I compared her to him.

0:19:10 > 0:19:12So what is the big deal?

0:19:12 > 0:19:14Lowell, he nails a bunch of cops for being on the take.

0:19:14 > 0:19:17Chris, she turns in her boss for sexual harassment.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20They both did what they thought they had to do.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22Harvey, being a police officer is like being a member of a club,

0:19:22 > 0:19:24you have to play by the rules,

0:19:24 > 0:19:27especially the unwritten rule that says one cop does not bust another.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29You know, there are a lot of people that still give her a hard

0:19:29 > 0:19:31time for what she did.

0:19:31 > 0:19:33Sweetheart, you know what she did was right.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35Oh, yeah, I was the one that was all for turning Hennessey in.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38Chris doesn't do anything she doesn't want to do.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40Right, which is why she is not here tonight.

0:19:40 > 0:19:42She's not, but I am.

0:19:44 > 0:19:47What do you want to do? Do want to type or do you want to do Lamaze?

0:19:50 > 0:19:52Are those my only choices?

0:19:52 > 0:19:53Not if I can help it.

0:19:58 > 0:20:02Yes, I realise you went to great pains to steal all that money.

0:20:03 > 0:20:05No.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07Yes. Yes, I will be waiting for your call.

0:20:07 > 0:20:10Goodbye, Mr Tepper.

0:20:10 > 0:20:12- Well?- Just another crackpot.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14Marcus, we are working on a task force,

0:20:14 > 0:20:17we cannot afford to ignore anyone.

0:20:17 > 0:20:19Victor, this man is offering to return the four million

0:20:19 > 0:20:22if his landlord gives him back his security deposit.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26We should put him on the bottom of the list.

0:20:29 > 0:20:30OK, Billy, let's try it again.

0:20:30 > 0:20:32What do you want from me? I told you everything.

0:20:32 > 0:20:35Oh, come on, you don't really expect me to believe

0:20:35 > 0:20:36you pulled this job alone.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38It makes no difference to me what you believe.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43You think protecting the rest of your gang makes you a big shot,

0:20:43 > 0:20:44don't you?

0:20:45 > 0:20:47I think it makes you a sucker.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54That man...

0:20:54 > 0:20:57You know that man that your friends put in the hospital the other night?

0:20:57 > 0:20:59Well, he is in a coma still, Billy!

0:21:01 > 0:21:04The DA doesn't like having his citizens in a coma,

0:21:04 > 0:21:06so I think you're looking at some pretty serious time here.

0:21:09 > 0:21:13All right? We're talking armed robbery, attempted murder.

0:21:13 > 0:21:15Charges that will put your butt on ice for about 10 to 20 years

0:21:15 > 0:21:17minimum.

0:21:17 > 0:21:18For what? For whom? For them?!

0:21:20 > 0:21:23Will you wise up? All you did was drive the car.

0:21:23 > 0:21:26You can't be crazy enough to take this rap alone.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30Will you look at me when I am talking you?

0:21:41 > 0:21:43Maybe you're not crazy.

0:21:44 > 0:21:45Maybe you're just plain dumb.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49You've got a wife and a baby.

0:21:50 > 0:21:53Are you willing to trash them to protect these punks?

0:21:56 > 0:21:59What is Gina supposed to do between visiting days, huh, Billy?

0:21:59 > 0:22:00Huh?

0:22:00 > 0:22:05Supposed to sit home and grow old, waiting for your parole date?

0:22:05 > 0:22:08Me, I'm banking she's not as dumb as her husband.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11I'm banking she's going to get herself a new old man in no time.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14- Maybe Vinny, may be Double D.- Shut up.- Maybe some other gang member!

0:22:14 > 0:22:17- Shut up!- I think we ought to take a break here.

0:22:17 > 0:22:23Maybe Billy wants to reconsider having his lawyer present.

0:22:31 > 0:22:32What the hell was that all about?

0:22:32 > 0:22:34The kid has got rights, I just reminded him.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36We gave him his rights, he waived them.

0:22:38 > 0:22:41I had him all set up to turn and you deliberately screwed it up, why?

0:22:41 > 0:22:45From the five muggings, we got at least three reliable witnesses.

0:22:45 > 0:22:47What is this, a soft spot for juvenile delinquents?

0:22:47 > 0:22:49If that kid squeals, he's dead.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51And even if he survives, he is marked lousy for life.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54I just think he should be allowed to make the decision for himself.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56I can't believe I'm hearing this.

0:22:56 > 0:23:00You're worrying about moral dilemmas and a man is in a coma.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02What kind of cop are you?

0:23:02 > 0:23:04Maybe not a very good one.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09Just when it looks like the kid is starting to crack,

0:23:09 > 0:23:12Lowell opens his big mouth and he ruins everything.

0:23:12 > 0:23:16Yesterday, I had to drive downtown two times to get case-related info.

0:23:16 > 0:23:18The first time we were there,

0:23:18 > 0:23:20the detective said he couldn't find anything.

0:23:20 > 0:23:23Later, I drove downtown without him and, lo and behold,

0:23:23 > 0:23:25everything miraculously appeared.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27All right, what is the point you are trying to make here?

0:23:27 > 0:23:30The point is, I cannot work with this guy, he is dead weight.

0:23:30 > 0:23:34- And I want him removed. - Dammit, Cagney!

0:23:34 > 0:23:37You think you are the only one around here that wants that?

0:23:37 > 0:23:40Nobody wants him out of here more than me, nobody!

0:23:40 > 0:23:42If I had my way...

0:23:46 > 0:23:48But I don't have my way.

0:23:49 > 0:23:51My hands are tied, Cagney.

0:23:51 > 0:23:52And so are yours.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59You got a job to do, do it.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02Sorry, Lieutenant.

0:24:04 > 0:24:06Cagney, he left this for you.

0:24:06 > 0:24:07Thanks.

0:24:16 > 0:24:19Do you have a match?

0:24:19 > 0:24:20Sorry, I don't smoke.

0:24:25 > 0:24:28Word came through from the hospital. That guy your friends beat up...

0:24:28 > 0:24:29He's died.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50- This is a call you traced? - In the flesh.

0:24:50 > 0:24:53One Stanley Poe, self-proclaimed urban terrorist

0:24:53 > 0:24:54and armoured car robber.

0:24:54 > 0:24:58What is this self-proclaimed bull? I am an urban terrorist!

0:24:58 > 0:24:59And I did rip off the four million.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04W-H-A-T.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06What is WHAT?

0:25:06 > 0:25:09The Whole Of Humanity Against Technology.

0:25:09 > 0:25:13You may not know this now, but we are alive and growing.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16And we will keep on growing as long as there are demented souls

0:25:16 > 0:25:18who care more about machines than people.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21Poe is an ex-toll collector. Isn't that right, Mr Poe?

0:25:21 > 0:25:2322 years on the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge

0:25:23 > 0:25:27and they dumped me for automatic fund collector.

0:25:27 > 0:25:28But I got even.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31I got their quarters back all right.

0:25:31 > 0:25:32Bingo!

0:25:32 > 0:25:34Ah-ha!

0:25:37 > 0:25:40Six o'clock news, here we come, huh?

0:25:42 > 0:25:45LAUGHTER

0:25:47 > 0:25:50You got enough there to buy a whole shlew of hotels on Boardwalk

0:25:50 > 0:25:52and Park Place.

0:25:54 > 0:25:57Counsellor, so what do you think?

0:25:57 > 0:26:00Does our detective look dangerous enough for you?

0:26:00 > 0:26:01Well...

0:26:02 > 0:26:06He is younger than your other ringers, I'll give him that.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09Actually...

0:26:09 > 0:26:12He could look a little, uh... scruffier.

0:26:16 > 0:26:20Newman, would you mind unbuttoning her shirt?

0:26:20 > 0:26:24OK, but I'm not sure it is going to make me look any scruffier.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26Newman, you're supposed to be in costume,

0:26:26 > 0:26:27you've on a clean, white T-shirt.

0:26:27 > 0:26:31I know, but my mother told me the same thing your mother told you.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33She'll understand, Newman. Excuse me a minute.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38Counsellor, if you have no further objections...

0:26:38 > 0:26:41- Look, I don't mean to be picky. - Not at all.

0:26:41 > 0:26:45But I do have to make sure my client gets a fair shake.

0:26:45 > 0:26:46As you should, sir.

0:26:46 > 0:26:49- And I would like to get on with this line-up.- Of course.

0:26:49 > 0:26:53Hey, wait a minute! What about my earring?

0:26:55 > 0:26:59Mr Shimmel, is it possible that your client could see his way

0:26:59 > 0:27:01to removing it?

0:27:01 > 0:27:05Forget it, I got a constitutional right to wear an earring.

0:27:05 > 0:27:07An oversight of our founding fathers.

0:27:16 > 0:27:19- How do I look? - As foolish as you feel.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22Anyone else need an earring?

0:27:24 > 0:27:26Take a clear look at each face.

0:27:28 > 0:27:29Start from left to right, please.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34Do not stop at number one.

0:27:34 > 0:27:35Just go right across the line.

0:27:37 > 0:27:39Take your time with it.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46Clear your thoughts completely.

0:27:47 > 0:27:49And just concentrate on each face.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07Do you recognize any of these men?

0:28:10 > 0:28:13- You, sir?- Sorry.

0:28:17 > 0:28:20Look hard, as hard as you can.

0:28:20 > 0:28:22It's just it was so dark and everything happened so fast.

0:28:22 > 0:28:25Try again, you've got to concentrate.

0:28:25 > 0:28:27All right, just wait a minute, Detective.

0:28:27 > 0:28:30I'm not going to stand by quietly while you lead these witnesses.

0:28:30 > 0:28:31Mr Shimmel, please,

0:28:31 > 0:28:34none of us want to do anything to jeopardize this line-up. Do we?

0:28:40 > 0:28:41Now take another look.

0:28:43 > 0:28:46You have seen one of those faces before.

0:28:47 > 0:28:50He threw you on the ground, took your wallet and kicked you in the ribs.

0:28:50 > 0:28:53Sergeant, I demand you put an end to this at once.

0:28:54 > 0:28:56OK, Dave, that's it.

0:28:59 > 0:29:01I'm sorry we couldn't be of more help.

0:29:06 > 0:29:07Thank you.

0:29:09 > 0:29:13Next time try a cattle prod, you might get better results.

0:29:22 > 0:29:24Too bad our partner isn't here.

0:29:27 > 0:29:29I mean my real partner.

0:29:29 > 0:29:30She's on maternity leave.

0:29:32 > 0:29:34She's great with guys like you.

0:29:36 > 0:29:38She pleads and you hear music.

0:29:42 > 0:29:45I don't have any music for you, Billy.

0:29:47 > 0:29:48I only have hard, cold facts.

0:29:57 > 0:29:59This code of silence is a crock.

0:30:01 > 0:30:02A man died.

0:30:02 > 0:30:05You drove the getaway car.

0:30:05 > 0:30:07And if you don't talk, you're going up for murder.

0:30:12 > 0:30:15Now, do you think Double D and Vinnie would protect you?

0:30:21 > 0:30:23So why are you protecting them?

0:30:25 > 0:30:26Here.

0:30:28 > 0:30:30Cos you're scared.

0:30:30 > 0:30:32And they're going to keep you scared.

0:30:32 > 0:30:34Fear is the only weapon they've got.

0:30:37 > 0:30:39But if you stay silent, you stay in jail.

0:30:40 > 0:30:44I know you think that makes you some kind of hero,

0:30:44 > 0:30:46but I think it makes you a jerk.

0:30:50 > 0:30:52Silence is not loyalty, Billy.

0:30:53 > 0:30:55At this point, silence is suicide.

0:31:00 > 0:31:02So, what are you going to do? Are you going to stand up

0:31:02 > 0:31:04and do what's right or keep your mouth shut and let

0:31:04 > 0:31:07those guilty kids walk the streets? You tell me.

0:31:16 > 0:31:18Interesting words.

0:31:18 > 0:31:20- I was applying pressure.- I see.

0:31:20 > 0:31:23Don't you go applying it where it doesn't belong.

0:31:23 > 0:31:25Oh, you got a double standard, one for perps and one for cops?

0:31:25 > 0:31:28It's the same for you, isn't it? Perps and cops, I mean.

0:31:28 > 0:31:30Why don't you give me a break?

0:31:31 > 0:31:34I'm going to get Billy's wife to talk some sense into him.

0:31:34 > 0:31:36That's the last thing he needs right now.

0:31:36 > 0:31:38The last thing I need right now is trouble from you.

0:31:38 > 0:31:40- So, are you coming or what? - Why don't you let him

0:31:40 > 0:31:42decide this for himself?

0:31:42 > 0:31:44Without Billy's testimony, those punks walk on a murder rap.

0:31:44 > 0:31:47You can't force someone into an act of conscience.

0:31:47 > 0:31:48I wish we had a choice.

0:32:35 > 0:32:37SOBBING

0:33:05 > 0:33:08I didn't want to let them in, Billy.

0:33:08 > 0:33:11I swear to God, I didn't want to let them in.

0:33:12 > 0:33:14But they knocked the door open.

0:33:16 > 0:33:17They wanted to know if you'd talk.

0:33:19 > 0:33:23So I grabbed Johnny and then we tried to run.

0:33:23 > 0:33:28And Double D grabs me by my shoulder and started belting me

0:33:28 > 0:33:32on my face over and over and over and I couldn't...

0:33:32 > 0:33:33I'm going to make them pay.

0:33:33 > 0:33:35No.

0:33:35 > 0:33:37He says he'd come back and get me if you talk.

0:33:39 > 0:33:43The DA has agreed to reduce the charges against you, Billy.

0:33:43 > 0:33:45And he will recommend probation and he will also keep you

0:33:45 > 0:33:47and your family in protective custody,

0:33:47 > 0:33:49all you have to do is testify.

0:33:51 > 0:33:54Do you want to get back at him? You want to get him good?

0:33:56 > 0:33:58Then you know what you got to do.

0:33:58 > 0:34:00Yeah.

0:34:15 > 0:34:19- A little late this morning, aren't you, Cagney?- Hiya, Coleman.

0:34:19 > 0:34:20Let's see.

0:34:20 > 0:34:23Yes, I suppose I am by some people's standards, but lucky for me,

0:34:23 > 0:34:24those people don't matter very much.

0:34:24 > 0:34:26You don't have to get so huffy about it.

0:34:26 > 0:34:29When you work as late and as hard as I do, Coleman, you get to be huffy.

0:34:29 > 0:34:31That's a privilege to look forward to.

0:34:36 > 0:34:39What's this, his idea of a short day? Where the hell is Lowell?

0:34:39 > 0:34:41- Haven't seen him.- Or missed him.

0:34:41 > 0:34:44He chalked in and out before I had time to finish my morning coffee.

0:34:44 > 0:34:47Maybe that's it. Every time he sees a coffee cup or even smells

0:34:47 > 0:34:48a pot brewing, he just flies the coop.

0:34:48 > 0:34:51- Did you ask him where he was going? - Did I talk to him?

0:34:51 > 0:34:53- Yeah, that's what I mean. - You forget, the squad room

0:34:53 > 0:34:55and your partner are not on speaking terms.

0:34:55 > 0:34:56Never were, never will be.

0:34:56 > 0:34:58Wherever he went, I hope he comes back.

0:34:58 > 0:35:00I got more days and a lot more money bet on him.

0:35:00 > 0:35:02I'll remember that, Victor. I'll tell him when I see him.

0:35:02 > 0:35:06By the way, Cagney, congratulations, I hear you got the kid to talk.

0:35:06 > 0:35:08Yeah, finally. What about you guys?

0:35:08 > 0:35:11He got claiming it was neo-Nazis.

0:35:11 > 0:35:13How was I supposed to know it was an inside job?

0:35:13 > 0:35:14My condolences.

0:35:14 > 0:35:18It turns out to be a couple of their own drivers and a shipping clerk.

0:35:18 > 0:35:19So here we are, chasing every washed out,

0:35:19 > 0:35:23fly-by-night terrorist group that never existed, and all the time

0:35:23 > 0:35:25the money is sitting in some warehouse in Astoria.

0:35:25 > 0:35:27- Well, who cracked the case? - Security guard.

0:35:27 > 0:35:31It seems the geniuses forgot to pay the 34 storage space.

0:35:31 > 0:35:34So the guard takes a crowbar to the locker, out pops four million bucks.

0:35:34 > 0:35:37Can you imagine anybody being that stupid?

0:35:37 > 0:35:40- Where the hell have you been? - The hospital.

0:35:40 > 0:35:44- What's going on? - Billy was knifed last night.

0:35:44 > 0:35:46- Is he all right?- He'll live. This time anyway.

0:35:46 > 0:35:48He was supposed to be in protective custody!

0:35:48 > 0:35:50Well, it wasn't protective enough!

0:35:53 > 0:35:56- Is he all right?- What do you care?

0:35:56 > 0:35:57You got what you wanted.

0:35:57 > 0:36:01- Why didn't you call me? Or leave a message...- Hey, I took care of it.

0:36:01 > 0:36:04Hey, Lowell, I know that you're a loner, all right?

0:36:04 > 0:36:07And you like to do things your own way, but the fact is,

0:36:07 > 0:36:09I am your superior officer, which means you keep me informed!

0:36:09 > 0:36:12What are you getting so upset about? It's all over for you.

0:36:12 > 0:36:15It's a couple of court dates and you just have to wear a skirt those days.

0:36:15 > 0:36:17- Watch it, Lowell. - No, you listen to me!

0:36:17 > 0:36:20It has ended for you and for Billy, it is all just starting.

0:36:20 > 0:36:22The guy is a full-fledged informer now.

0:36:22 > 0:36:25And that means he's got to spend the rest of his life looking

0:36:25 > 0:36:28over his shoulder, wondering if it was all worth it.

0:36:29 > 0:36:31It's a hell of a life, don't you think?

0:36:31 > 0:36:32I wouldn't know.

0:36:38 > 0:36:39Did you do this?

0:36:41 > 0:36:45I tell you what I think of you right to your face.

0:36:45 > 0:36:49- A rat in your locker? No, it's not my style.- Style? In this precinct?

0:36:49 > 0:36:51You've got to be kidding, style?

0:36:51 > 0:36:53Listen, rats, they're nothing compared to what

0:36:53 > 0:36:55I've been through the last few years.

0:36:55 > 0:36:57You guys have got to try harder than that if you're going to keep me

0:36:57 > 0:37:00from being a cop. Because that's all I ever wanted, being a cop.

0:37:00 > 0:37:03You know, for me it was more than a job, it was an ideal,

0:37:03 > 0:37:07it was something to look up to, something to believe in.

0:37:07 > 0:37:09And the funny thing is, I still believe in it.

0:37:09 > 0:37:12Even after all these dead rats and your dirty looks and your silent

0:37:12 > 0:37:16treatment, I still believe in the job and everything it stands for.

0:37:17 > 0:37:18You believe in it?

0:37:20 > 0:37:23If you believe in it so much, why did you go to the press?

0:37:25 > 0:37:27What, you think I rushed into this?

0:37:27 > 0:37:29You think I didn't spend month after month after month getting

0:37:29 > 0:37:32jerked around by my precinct captain telling me to sit and wait

0:37:32 > 0:37:34while my charge is supposedly checked into.

0:37:34 > 0:37:37And a year goes by and they're still being checked into

0:37:37 > 0:37:39and the guys are still stuffing their pockets.

0:37:39 > 0:37:43And my wife and my son are getting death threats on the telephone.

0:37:43 > 0:37:46Yeah, I spilled my guts to the press.

0:37:52 > 0:37:54And when they gave me that gold shield,

0:37:54 > 0:37:57I'll be damned if I hadn't earned it.

0:37:57 > 0:37:59Because I had.

0:37:59 > 0:38:00My whole family had.

0:38:02 > 0:38:05A cop can't be above the law, he has got to uphold it.

0:38:05 > 0:38:08And I did what I had to do, I know that now.

0:38:08 > 0:38:11And I also know a cop ate his gun because of my testimony.

0:38:13 > 0:38:14I'll never forget that.

0:38:14 > 0:38:18And even if I could, I've got people like you around to remind me.

0:38:21 > 0:38:25Police chaplain told me once, "God forgives, cops don't."

0:38:33 > 0:38:34In.

0:38:36 > 0:38:37Out.

0:38:39 > 0:38:40Nice and relaxed.

0:38:44 > 0:38:47You doofus! You already let it past the 60-second mark.

0:38:47 > 0:38:50- Well, you were supposed to be keeping count, too.- Give me that stopwatch!

0:38:50 > 0:38:54- No. Mom!- Fellas, fellas. This is not relaxing me.

0:38:54 > 0:38:56KNOCK ON DOOR

0:38:56 > 0:39:00- I'll get it.- No, I'll get it.- Both of yous... Both of you go get it!

0:39:00 > 0:39:02Go get it!

0:39:06 > 0:39:08Michael!

0:39:08 > 0:39:10Harvey, who's at the door?

0:39:12 > 0:39:13It's me.

0:39:17 > 0:39:19- Is it OK if I come in?- Sure.

0:39:24 > 0:39:27- So, how are you feeling?- Tired.

0:39:27 > 0:39:29Harvey is working late and the boys are testing to see

0:39:29 > 0:39:32if I really want to be a mother again.

0:39:32 > 0:39:34- How are you feeling? - I'm holding on.

0:39:36 > 0:39:37How is the case going?

0:39:39 > 0:39:40Uh, well...

0:39:40 > 0:39:45One of the gang members beat up the...the kid's wife.

0:39:45 > 0:39:49So he finally testified and then we were able to round up the others.

0:39:49 > 0:39:51Good work.

0:39:51 > 0:39:53Yeah, it seemed to be.

0:39:54 > 0:39:57Until Billy got knifed for being a stool pigeon.

0:39:57 > 0:39:58Yeah.

0:40:01 > 0:40:03Why don't you sit down, Christine?

0:40:07 > 0:40:09The consequences. You know, everything we do

0:40:09 > 0:40:11- has such consequences. - Yeah, tell me about it.

0:40:25 > 0:40:27I should have come the other night.

0:40:27 > 0:40:30Yeah, maybe. But you didn't want to.

0:40:30 > 0:40:33Well, when you start comparing me to Lowell, Mary Beth...

0:40:33 > 0:40:35Chris, I had no right to shoot my mouth off.

0:40:37 > 0:40:38Yeah, you're my partner.

0:40:39 > 0:40:41And you're my friend.

0:40:44 > 0:40:46And I do want to know what you think.

0:40:46 > 0:40:49Not all the time.

0:40:49 > 0:40:50No, not all the time.

0:40:57 > 0:41:00Do you think the people see what I did

0:41:00 > 0:41:02and what Lowell did in the same light?

0:41:04 > 0:41:07In my opinion, Christine, turning in Hennessey took a lot of courage.

0:41:07 > 0:41:10But it is not the done thing.

0:41:10 > 0:41:13Charlie says you never bust another cop.

0:41:13 > 0:41:16Chris, you did what you thought was right.

0:41:16 > 0:41:19When we have a conscience, we don't have a choice.

0:41:19 > 0:41:22I think we always have a choice, Mary Beth.

0:41:22 > 0:41:23I do.

0:41:24 > 0:41:27I mean, who's to say whether the choice we make is right or not,

0:41:27 > 0:41:28but...

0:41:31 > 0:41:33I don't know, maybe only God knows that.

0:41:35 > 0:41:36Yeah, she'd know.

0:41:39 > 0:41:41I didn't mean to make you mad, talking about you

0:41:41 > 0:41:42and Lowell in the same breath.

0:41:42 > 0:41:44I understand why you did what you did.

0:41:46 > 0:41:48And I've been working with him...

0:41:48 > 0:41:50You understand why he did what he did?

0:41:50 > 0:41:53Mary Beth, now don' put words in my mouth, all right?

0:41:53 > 0:41:54You know that makes me angry.

0:41:54 > 0:41:57- You going to lose your temper again or only your mittens?- Don't push it.

0:41:57 > 0:41:59I'm glad you're here.

0:41:59 > 0:42:01I'm glad you're glad.

0:42:03 > 0:42:06So where did you put my stopwatch?

0:42:06 > 0:42:09You know, I was getting worried that we are going to have to find

0:42:09 > 0:42:11a backup for the backup.

0:42:13 > 0:42:15Ready? We will start...

0:42:17 > 0:42:20..with one deep cleansing breath. Ready?

0:42:28 > 0:42:3216 more days, why couldn't he just stick it out 16 more days?

0:42:32 > 0:42:34Damn personnel problems.

0:42:34 > 0:42:36As long as they get him out of here, what's the difference?

0:42:36 > 0:42:38What's the difference? This is the difference!

0:42:38 > 0:42:41THEY LAUGH

0:42:42 > 0:42:46123 in Staten Island, the Photographic Unit.

0:42:46 > 0:42:48Nine to five.

0:42:50 > 0:42:53No, I won't make Chief Of Detectives,

0:42:53 > 0:42:55but I'll get to know my wife again.

0:42:57 > 0:42:59Yeah. All right.

0:43:00 > 0:43:03Thanks. Me too.

0:43:03 > 0:43:06I'll see you soon if the freeway's not too bad.

0:43:06 > 0:43:07Bye, honey.

0:43:10 > 0:43:13Well, I guess that about does it.

0:43:13 > 0:43:14I guess so.

0:43:49 > 0:43:51See you around.

0:44:30 > 0:44:31Lowell!
