0:01:26 > 0:01:28- Nice leather. - Not a bad day's work, Arnie.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35I wish to report...a homicide.

0:01:35 > 0:01:37We'll see if we can't grant you that wish, sir.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40You can't do this to me! People come and watch me dance.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42They spend their money. I bring the city revenue.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44Arnie, they can't spend it if they don't have their wallets.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46If you put me in jail, people will stay home.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49- You'll regret it.- Keeping the streets safe?

0:01:49 > 0:01:51You want to finish booking him.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53You don't patronise the arts, or what?

0:02:03 > 0:02:05Hey, Arnie, looking sharp.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07Today, the precinct, tomorrow, the White House.

0:02:07 > 0:02:11Two weeks of liquor store break-ins, petty larceny, car thefts...

0:02:11 > 0:02:13Oh, I can see what's coming a mile away.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16- ..purse snatchings, Mary Beth. - How many more of these can you take?

0:02:16 > 0:02:17I know what's on your mind, Christine,

0:02:17 > 0:02:19- so do you want to get to the point? - Sure.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24I want to go after Mansfield. Is that fast enough?

0:02:24 > 0:02:26- Leave it go, Chris.- No. We have the time now

0:02:26 > 0:02:28and we certainly could use the excitement.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30Every time things get dull around here,

0:02:30 > 0:02:33you drag that one out and we get nowhere. He went underground.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35- Leave it to Narcotics.- It is dead at Narcotics.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Dead at Narcotics because we blew the collar.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39No, it is dead at Narcotics because I blew the collar.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41I'm because the one who entrapped him.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44We both got grief from the man, now what do you want to go get more for?

0:02:44 > 0:02:48I say we go out on the streets and just churn up some accounts and see what comes up.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50- I mean, he can't stay underground forever.- Yeah, and who does this?

0:02:50 > 0:02:52Can I have your attention here?

0:02:55 > 0:02:58This gentleman wants to report a homicide.

0:02:58 > 0:03:03Someone just shot Leon Trotsky in Union Square Park.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10Homicide requires a detective on the scene.

0:03:10 > 0:03:12Lieutenant wants to know who's catching.

0:03:16 > 0:03:17Cagney and Lacey are.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19Oh, afraid not, Victor, no, no.

0:03:19 > 0:03:21We've just got a very hot tip on a breaking drug case,

0:03:21 > 0:03:23didn't we, Mary Beth?

0:03:24 > 0:03:26Right, uh...

0:03:26 > 0:03:28He's all yours, fellas.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30Oh, we can't. We have Arnie.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33Well, Newman and Corassa, it looks like your lucky day.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35Coleman, he's a nutcase, call Bellevue.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38A homicide gets reported, it gets checked out.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40Leon Trotsky was a Russian revolutionary.

0:03:40 > 0:03:44- So? - He's been dead over 45 years.

0:03:45 > 0:03:46It could be a helluva collar.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50Thank you very much.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52You know my feelings about using informants, Christine.

0:03:52 > 0:03:56Using them is our only chance. We've already tried it Narcotics' way.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58Mansfield is too smart to sting.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01If he's so smart, what would he be doing in Brooklyn?

0:04:01 > 0:04:04The 65th collared a major supplier last month.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06The streets are just ripe enough for him to move in.

0:04:11 > 0:04:12I know it.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16I don't want to hear about last time.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18OK. Who are we talking to?

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Hector Estevez.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25Is that that kid who stole your car?!

0:04:26 > 0:04:27Yeah.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29I've asked him to keep his ears open for me.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32And you trust this kid?

0:04:32 > 0:04:35Hector? Sure, he helped me find my car, didn't he?

0:04:35 > 0:04:38As I recall, you threatened him with grand larceny auto,

0:04:38 > 0:04:39then he helped you find your car.

0:04:41 > 0:04:42So, he needed a little persuading.

0:04:47 > 0:04:48Fasten your seat belt, Chris.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53Put your seat belt on, or I'm not moving.

0:05:07 > 0:05:08Thank you.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31Cagney! You're looking good!

0:05:31 > 0:05:33Thank you, Hector.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35I'd like you to meet my partner. This is Detective Lacey.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37How do you do, Mr Estevez?

0:05:37 > 0:05:39Today, much better than expected.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41To what do I owe this pleasure?

0:05:41 > 0:05:45Oh...you're not telling me she lost her car again?

0:05:45 > 0:05:48Not since you left the business.

0:05:48 > 0:05:49You hurt my feelings!

0:05:49 > 0:05:53And to think, I've been saving one of these specially for you.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55I like him.

0:05:55 > 0:05:59You know, Cagney, I was just about to call you.

0:05:59 > 0:06:00Did you hear something?

0:06:00 > 0:06:03- No, I just wanted to chat.- Hector, you said that you would get in touch

0:06:03 > 0:06:05if you heard anything at all.

0:06:06 > 0:06:10You know the first principle of business, Cagney...

0:06:10 > 0:06:11is motivation.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15You asked me to do a dangerous job.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18But I don't got no motivation. How can I do this for you?

0:06:18 > 0:06:19OK, Hector...

0:06:20 > 0:06:24- ..what do you want? - Well, it's my brother, Ernesto.

0:06:24 > 0:06:28See, he's a spiritual advisor,

0:06:28 > 0:06:32who must travel from place to place and cannot always watch the meter.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35So, how many parking tickets does he have?

0:06:35 > 0:06:37Just a few.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39Look, you find out if it's Mansfield.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41If it is, then we'll talk business.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43Oh, I like talking business with you.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46See you at the diner, Hector.

0:06:46 > 0:06:478 o'clock...

0:06:47 > 0:06:49tonight.

0:06:49 > 0:06:53Cagney, again, you do me dishonour.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56See, in my neighbourhood, the hombre asks the lady out.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58And I thought chivalry died.

0:07:00 > 0:07:01See you tonight, Hector.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11Chris, I can't go with you tonight.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14Muriel's taking the boys to movies and Harvey and I have

0:07:14 > 0:07:16two whole hours together.

0:07:16 > 0:07:17It's a very big deal, Christine.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20- We're hoping that Alice sleeps half the time.- So, what do you think?

0:07:20 > 0:07:23I think it'd be nice if she slept the whole time.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25I mean about Hector.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Oh, it's a long shot, Christine.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29If there is a new supply, it could be anybody.

0:07:29 > 0:07:30It could also be Mansfield.

0:07:30 > 0:07:34- I say we dig around, see what we come up with.- OK.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36- Let's stop by the 6-5 Station... - Oh, Mary Beth, come on.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38We owe them, Christine.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40I'm not going to waste my time making courtesy calls. He's ours.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43If he comes out here, we're going to be the ones to nail him.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45All right, then we will track down Detective Bisconti

0:07:45 > 0:07:47and at least let somebody know we're around.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50- Oh!- It's protocol, Christine.

0:07:50 > 0:07:51Forget it.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55Bisconti, wait a second. Huh? We'll even let you have the assist.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57No, what you mean is you'll let me

0:07:57 > 0:07:59back you up in case you get in trouble.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Well...that's a terrible attitude.

0:08:01 > 0:08:02Well, what are you working on?

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Nothing, just penny-ante stuff. It's nothing you'd be interested in.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07See you later, Sarge.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10- Make sure you get pictures of everything.- Hey!- Be nice, Christine.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Bisconti!

0:08:12 > 0:08:14Give us a break here, huh.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18- Call it a favour. - You owe me already.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20I paid you back!

0:08:20 > 0:08:23I handed you that Stranski collar on a silver platter.

0:08:23 > 0:08:24Oh, yeah? And what about the Spencer case?

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Do you want something on the Spencer case?

0:08:29 > 0:08:32Look, Cagney, I'd love to help you out, but the 65th is my precinct.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35- You're going to learn to cooperate. - Bisconti, over here, please.

0:08:39 > 0:08:40So much for protocol.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53Sometimes I think Christine forgets we're all in the same department.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57I'm so sorry to be late, sweetheart, but first we had to go to Brooklyn

0:08:57 > 0:09:01and then, at the last minute, we got called downtown.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04- It's OK, babe, forget it. - Oh, that's nice.

0:09:05 > 0:09:08- You're not upset?- No.

0:09:08 > 0:09:09That's nice.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13How's our little girl?

0:09:13 > 0:09:15- Sleeping like a baby.- Uh-huh.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17- You want to go look at her? - In a while.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24Mmm, Harv...

0:09:25 > 0:09:27Harvey...

0:09:27 > 0:09:29the boys are going to be back any minute.

0:09:31 > 0:09:32You're wrong, Mary Beth.

0:09:34 > 0:09:38- The movie got out 6:30, Harv. - Mom took them for ice cream.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43- Doubles, I hope.- Sundaes.

0:09:43 > 0:09:44- Mmm.- The works.

0:09:46 > 0:09:47There's a man after my own heart.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54BABY CRIES

0:10:10 > 0:10:1228 tickets?!

0:10:13 > 0:10:15You got to learn to relax, Cagney!

0:10:16 > 0:10:19I don't think this cop business is so good for you.

0:10:19 > 0:10:2128 is hardly what I'd call a few.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25- You owe me, Hector. - How was I to know?

0:10:27 > 0:10:30OK, tonight, I buy you dinner.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32I don't think I have much of an appetite.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35You will because I'm going to make you one happy muchacha.

0:10:40 > 0:10:41Is it Mansfield?

0:10:42 > 0:10:43Are you sure?

0:10:44 > 0:10:46On the grave of my mother.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48I got his name from two different dudes.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53So, Cagney, I get the tickets fixed or what?

0:10:55 > 0:10:57Yeah, thanks.

0:10:57 > 0:10:58Ah-yah!

0:10:58 > 0:11:01- That's good work, Hector.- Good?!

0:11:01 > 0:11:03I think great!

0:11:03 > 0:11:06And tonight I bring you a special bonus.

0:11:06 > 0:11:07Free of charge...

0:11:08 > 0:11:09Word on the street is...

0:11:10 > 0:11:13..it would not be healthy for your man to stay in town.

0:11:14 > 0:11:19He's making one big drop, then...adios.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22- He's leaving? When's the deal? - End of the week.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27- Can you find out who his buyer is? - HE INHALES SHARPLY

0:11:28 > 0:11:30Maybe.

0:11:30 > 0:11:35- But how can I do this job if I ain't got no motivation.- Motivation.

0:11:38 > 0:11:42OK, Hector, I'll have you registered as a confidential informant.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44I do you these favours...

0:11:44 > 0:11:46and you want me to play your pigeon for chickenfeed?

0:11:46 > 0:11:51Now, I think maybe there is special dinero for special hombres like me?

0:11:51 > 0:11:54- Say...500?- 500?!

0:11:54 > 0:11:59- (Are you crazy?!) - I don't think so, but,

0:11:59 > 0:12:00maybe you don't really want this dude.

0:12:03 > 0:12:04Sit down, Hector.

0:12:09 > 0:12:10I'll see if I can get you 200.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15Listen, Cagney...

0:12:15 > 0:12:16I like you.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19And I want you to respect me.

0:12:19 > 0:12:24Now, would you respect me if I did what you asked for 200?

0:12:24 > 0:12:25I'll try for three.

0:12:26 > 0:12:29But I want you to find out who's making the buy for Mansfield

0:12:29 > 0:12:31and be here tomorrow 2 o'clock.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33You got that?

0:12:33 > 0:12:35You drive a hard bargain.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38If I ever need a business partner, I might look you up.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43Maybe I might even let you model my dresses.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09- Morning.- Morning!

0:13:09 > 0:13:12- How'd your night go?- It didn't. Tonight we try going out.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14What do you...?

0:13:14 > 0:13:16It's nice.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18Well, at least my night paid off.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24Hector showed and said that the supplier was Mansfield.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26What a surprise.

0:13:26 > 0:13:27I got something here, Mary Beth.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30What you have is the word of a kid who was saying exactly what

0:13:30 > 0:13:33- he knows you want to hear. - Now I have this.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35Bisconti ID'd the body in the 65th yesterday.

0:13:35 > 0:13:39Tentative identification, Donald Tracer.

0:13:39 > 0:13:40He was Mansfield's muscle.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43I think Mansfield put a call in on the old suppliers

0:13:43 > 0:13:45so he could take over the territory,

0:13:45 > 0:13:47then somebody killed Mansfield's bodyguard to scare him off.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50- Maybe.- Maybe?! It all fits!

0:13:50 > 0:13:52According to Hector, Mansfield is coming in,

0:13:52 > 0:13:54making one big deal and then leaving.

0:13:57 > 0:13:58We can do this, Mary Beth.

0:14:00 > 0:14:01It's Mansfield.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10You two haven't forgotten already what happened the last time?

0:14:10 > 0:14:12No, sir, we have not.

0:14:12 > 0:14:15Well, crazy as it seems, the DA's office does not like it

0:14:15 > 0:14:17when our detectives entrap their collars.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19This time we can nail him making the real drop.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22- He can't force entrapment.- You know that should probably go back to Narcotics.

0:14:22 > 0:14:25Narcotics has never done anything with it, Lieutenant. Besides,

0:14:25 > 0:14:29Lacey and I were jerked around by this creep. We deserve another shot.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33We'd like another shot, Lieutenant.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35With due respect, sir, the 6-5 did find his bodyguard

0:14:35 > 0:14:38in a trash bin yesterday. It can't mean nothing, sir.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41You're treading dangerous water here.

0:14:41 > 0:14:44You blow this one, the DA's going to want your hide, the both of yous.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46But, if we pull it off, Lieutenant,

0:14:46 > 0:14:48then the whole squad's going to look good.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50Not to mention what it's doing to do for you, huh?

0:14:51 > 0:14:54Cagney, 300...that's pretty steep.

0:14:55 > 0:14:57This informant of yours...

0:14:57 > 0:14:59better be reliable.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01- Thank you, Lieutenant.- Sir.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09I would like to know why something like this can go down in my

0:15:09 > 0:15:14precinct and I got to read about it in the daily activity report!

0:15:14 > 0:15:15"Trotsky, comma, Leon A."

0:15:15 > 0:15:18Oh, that! That was this wino, a real fruitcake yesterday.

0:15:18 > 0:15:19He reported a homicide.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22Newman and Corassa checked it out and there wasn't a corpse!

0:15:22 > 0:15:25Then would you like to explain to me why a stiff named Trotsky

0:15:25 > 0:15:29is scheduled for an autopsy, huh? Where's Newman and Corassa?

0:15:29 > 0:15:30They're in court.

0:15:30 > 0:15:32Well, then, you two go down to the morgue.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35I want to find out what the hell is going on around here.

0:15:38 > 0:15:41The foot tag says "Trotsky, Leon A."

0:15:41 > 0:15:44"Male Caucasian, DOA, Lexington Hospital."

0:15:44 > 0:15:47Who ordered the autopsy?

0:15:47 > 0:15:49Detective Bronshtein from the 14th.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52There is no Bronshtein at the 14th.

0:15:52 > 0:15:53Are you calling me a liar?

0:15:53 > 0:15:56No, no, no. We're calling this a possible hoax.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58You see, Leon Trotsky died in 1940,

0:15:58 > 0:16:00so we don't think that the homicide victim could be Trotsky.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03The toe tag said Trotsky, Leon, A.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06Now, I've been in this business for more than 23 years and I don't

0:16:06 > 0:16:10believe everything I read, except when it comes to toe tags.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12Was there anything in his personal effects

0:16:12 > 0:16:14that could substantiate his identity?

0:16:14 > 0:16:17Just your common everyday pocket items...

0:16:17 > 0:16:18Communist Manifesto,

0:16:18 > 0:16:20bottle of Russian vodka

0:16:20 > 0:16:21and a half-eaten blueberry blintz.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25Oh, too bad! He died before he finished his blintz!

0:16:27 > 0:16:30- May we see the body. - Don't tell me...

0:16:30 > 0:16:33you want to see if he looks like a man who read Tolstoy?

0:16:33 > 0:16:35No, we want to see if there is indeed a body.

0:16:36 > 0:16:38HE SIGHS

0:16:46 > 0:16:50- "Trotsky, Leon A."- As reported, and to me, he looks very...

0:16:50 > 0:16:52Russian and very dead.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54And very well-preserved for someone who died 40 years ago.

0:16:55 > 0:16:56Wait a minute.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01"Henderson, William P."

0:17:01 > 0:17:03What do you make of this?

0:17:03 > 0:17:05Possibly a split personality.

0:17:11 > 0:17:133:34, Christine.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15I know what time it is.

0:17:19 > 0:17:21Face it. Hector's not showing up.

0:17:26 > 0:17:27Let's give him a few more minutes.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34- Oh, I hate this.- He said the buy was going down this week.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37He also said he would meet us two hours ago!

0:17:37 > 0:17:39So, punctuality is not one of his strong points.

0:17:41 > 0:17:43I hate using this kid, Christine.

0:17:51 > 0:17:54Hector says he lives with his brother. Maybe he knows where he is.

0:17:58 > 0:18:00BABY CRIES BEHIND DOOR

0:18:02 > 0:18:03MAN SHOUTS IN SPANISH

0:18:05 > 0:18:08- What do you want?- I'd like to speak to Hector Estevez, please.

0:18:13 > 0:18:14Hector ain't here.

0:18:17 > 0:18:21I'm Sergeant Cagney. This is my partner, Detective Lacey.

0:18:21 > 0:18:22You must be Hector's brother.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24Ernesto, right?

0:18:24 > 0:18:28We apologise for interrupting your family's meal, Mr Estevez.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30Like I said, Hector's not here.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32Oh.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35Well, when do you expect him back? I'd like to leave a message for him.

0:18:36 > 0:18:40He might come in tonight, he might not. With Hector, you never know.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43He didn't happen to mention the little favour

0:18:43 > 0:18:44I had done for you, did he?

0:18:47 > 0:18:50Hector should not have asked you to fix those tickets.

0:18:50 > 0:18:54- I can take care of things myself. - I'm sure you can.

0:18:54 > 0:18:56There's some telephone numbers here and a time and a place

0:18:56 > 0:18:59I'd like Hector to meet me tonight. Please tell him it's important.

0:18:59 > 0:19:03- I've got to get ready for work. My food's getting cold.- Right.

0:19:04 > 0:19:05Thank you, Mr Estevez.

0:19:14 > 0:19:17I felt more warmth from my freezer.

0:19:17 > 0:19:18What did you expect?

0:19:18 > 0:19:22A simple thank you for the tickets would have been nice.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24You didn't do that for him and he knows it.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27The man is not stupid, Christine. His brother is your informant.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29You think Hector's the only one involved here?

0:19:29 > 0:19:32It affects his family too. They have to live in this neighbourhood.

0:19:34 > 0:19:37I'm not going to apologise for doing my job, Mary Beth.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39You think he cares if we bust some dope dealer?

0:19:39 > 0:19:42His brother's working for the cops now, that's all this means to him.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49How can a stiff wind up with more than one toe tag?

0:19:49 > 0:19:52- Hey. Give me two minutes, OK, sweetheart?- Sure.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55- Well, who filed the autopsy report? - Hey, Harvey.

0:19:55 > 0:19:58It was a phoney, someone named Lev Bronshtein.

0:19:58 > 0:20:01Lev Davidovich Bronshtein?

0:20:01 > 0:20:03Leon Trotsky's real name.

0:20:03 > 0:20:07- Yeah? I wonder why he changed it? - I wonder why Victor Isbecki didn't.

0:20:07 > 0:20:10Yeah, well, maybe he knew some day he was going to be assassinated.

0:20:10 > 0:20:12Yeah, Mrs J, what's going on?

0:20:13 > 0:20:14Oh, no...

0:20:14 > 0:20:17You know, he was killed in Mexico City,

0:20:17 > 0:20:21the same place Lee Harvey Oswald went the year he shot Kennedy.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23You're not saying there was a connection?

0:20:23 > 0:20:26Sure, see the man who killed Trotsky was a Stalinist agent named

0:20:26 > 0:20:29Ramon Mercader. He was released from prison in 1960.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31He could have gotten in touch with Oswald

0:20:31 > 0:20:33and set up the whole Kennedy assassination.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35Harvey, excuse me, that was the babysitter calling.

0:20:35 > 0:20:38She thinks she's coming down with something. We should go home.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40You know, Oswald did go to Russia.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43He just may have been recruited by Ramon Mercader.

0:20:43 > 0:20:48- You believe one assassin trained the other?- Wait, there's more...

0:20:48 > 0:20:50Honey, um, we should go home, sweetheart.

0:20:51 > 0:20:52Good night, everybody.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54HE TUTS

0:20:54 > 0:20:55HE MUMBLES

0:20:57 > 0:20:58(Come on!)

0:21:03 > 0:21:06Some poor schlub with too much Muscatel in his belly,

0:21:06 > 0:21:09claims that Leon Trotsky got shot in Union Square Park and you're telling

0:21:09 > 0:21:12- me that it's connected to the death of John Fitzgerald Kennedy?!- Yeah?

0:21:12 > 0:21:14You probably think that Jack Ruby just happened to

0:21:14 > 0:21:17- be in that tunnel when they brought Oswald out?- Oh!

0:21:17 > 0:21:19Mary Beth, the whole Warren Commission was a whitewash!

0:21:19 > 0:21:22Harvey, I thought that you and I agreed that you were going to

0:21:22 > 0:21:24talk about this one day a year and one day only.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26November 22nd only.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29Yeah, but didn't we miss a year?

0:21:29 > 0:21:30No.

0:21:34 > 0:21:35HOBOS CHATTER

0:21:38 > 0:21:41You should not come to the park alone!

0:21:43 > 0:21:45Nobody told you it could be dangerous?

0:21:47 > 0:21:49Where were you today?

0:21:49 > 0:21:51I was busy doing your job.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53Did you find out who the buyer is?

0:21:53 > 0:21:57Right down to business. Estevez reporting for duty, sir!

0:22:00 > 0:22:02- You're stoned.- Smart Officer Cagney!

0:22:04 > 0:22:07- You going to arrest me? - Oh, cut it out, will you, Hector?

0:22:07 > 0:22:08Come on, talk to me.

0:22:09 > 0:22:14Your man Mansfield, he's selling to a dealer, Raphael Martinez.

0:22:14 > 0:22:15How do you know?

0:22:15 > 0:22:19A little fox took a shine to me. She's a runner for Martinez.

0:22:19 > 0:22:23I had some coke. Excellent stuff.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26She said there'd be more, Friday night.

0:22:26 > 0:22:27Got the dinero?

0:22:27 > 0:22:29The money's in the works.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32Listen...I want you to get back to her and find out when it is.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36- Uh-uh.- I'll get you more money.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38You got some attitude, Cagney.

0:22:38 > 0:22:41Next, you're going to have me doing your reports.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43Look, I will take over as soon as I know where the deal is.

0:22:43 > 0:22:46- Well, maybe I should go ask Martinez himself.- You stay away from Martinez.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48And you stay away from my family.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50You had no business going to my place.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52Well, then, you show up when you're supposed to!

0:22:55 > 0:22:56I got you what you wanted.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01We're not through yet, Hector.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03Is that what this is all about, huh? Are you backing out on me?

0:23:03 > 0:23:05Maybe you just don't know when to quit!

0:23:05 > 0:23:07I thought I could count on you.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09I thought you were smart enough to handle yourself,

0:23:09 > 0:23:11now, maybe I was wrong.

0:23:16 > 0:23:19I shouldn't have asked a boy to do a man's job!

0:23:28 > 0:23:29Maybe you don't have what it takes.

0:23:47 > 0:23:49Not only does the press have the story,

0:23:49 > 0:23:52but now the Mayor's Office is getting letters wanting to know why

0:23:52 > 0:23:55this precinct is covering up the murder of a Russian!

0:23:55 > 0:23:58- Lieutenant, this is some clown's idea of a joke.- Oh, yeah?

0:23:58 > 0:24:01It turned out to be that the body belonged to some forklifter...

0:24:01 > 0:24:05Don't tell me...I don't care if it belonged to the Commissioner himself!

0:24:05 > 0:24:07I want you to go down to Union Square Park,

0:24:07 > 0:24:11find the wino that was in here, and get to the bottom of this today!

0:24:14 > 0:24:16Nothing yet, Sergeant.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18OK, keep trying.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20Run through every spelling you can think of.

0:24:20 > 0:24:23I'm not even chalked in yet, you're on the computer already?

0:24:23 > 0:24:25- Hey.- Morning. - Yeah, I couldn't sleep.

0:24:25 > 0:24:26I came in early to try and get a jump.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29I found out the name of the buyer last night.

0:24:29 > 0:24:33Raphael Martinez, only we don't have a yellow sheet on him.

0:24:33 > 0:24:34So, Hector showed up, huh?

0:24:34 > 0:24:36Yeah, stoned.

0:24:37 > 0:24:40- Uh-huh.- Mary Beth, will you stop worrying?

0:24:40 > 0:24:43Hector's going to get us what we want. Trust me.

0:24:44 > 0:24:45And you hit him up for more?

0:24:48 > 0:24:49Conference, Christine.

0:24:55 > 0:24:56Please.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59He came through for us. We have a name now.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06I don't know what in the hell it is you want, Mary Beth.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08I want you to let him off the hook.

0:25:08 > 0:25:09I don't have any hooks in him.

0:25:09 > 0:25:12He showed up stoned, you're still using him anyway.

0:25:12 > 0:25:15He is an informant, Mary Beth, he knows what the risks are.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17Don't pretend to me that you don't have feelings for this kid.

0:25:17 > 0:25:20A kid, Christine, what is he? 19? 20?

0:25:20 > 0:25:22I've seen the way you work.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24He's not going to be able to say no to you and you've got him

0:25:24 > 0:25:26off after a major dope dealer.

0:25:26 > 0:25:28He's given us the only leads we've got.

0:25:28 > 0:25:30Well, what happens after this?

0:25:30 > 0:25:31What happens to his family?

0:25:33 > 0:25:35What happens to Hector?

0:25:35 > 0:25:37Hector can take care of himself. Trust me on this one.

0:25:37 > 0:25:40That's what you want to believe, Christine.

0:25:40 > 0:25:42Mary Beth, I can't back off it now.

0:25:42 > 0:25:43We'll lose Mansfield.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46Then maybe we lose him. What else is new?

0:25:46 > 0:25:48I can't believe you just said that.

0:25:48 > 0:25:51All you can see is the thing that you want.

0:25:52 > 0:25:53Mansfield's got you again.

0:25:53 > 0:25:56He made you feel like a fool the last time and you can't let it rest.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59- I don't have to take this anymore. - He made us play by his rules

0:25:59 > 0:26:00and it blew up in our face.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02Admit it and make peace with it.

0:26:02 > 0:26:07I am after this man because I hate what he does and I told you that.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10He makes these deals, he doesn't give a damn how many lives he destroys!

0:26:11 > 0:26:13I want him and I'm going to get him.

0:26:14 > 0:26:15No matter what?

0:26:15 > 0:26:17You got it.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20SHE SLAMS THE DOOR

0:26:25 > 0:26:27There, you see?

0:26:34 > 0:26:36DROWNED OUT BY PRINTING PRESS

0:26:45 > 0:26:46Uh, Mr Polonais, I presume?

0:26:46 > 0:26:47Yeah, what can I do for you?

0:26:47 > 0:26:49You're under arrest.

0:26:50 > 0:26:52At last, you found me!

0:26:54 > 0:26:57You have the right to remain silent. If you give up the right to...

0:26:57 > 0:26:58Now, I don't need a PR man!

0:27:00 > 0:27:02Actually, it was kind of inventive, sir.

0:27:02 > 0:27:04See, he paid the derelict to come in here and then

0:27:04 > 0:27:07he contacted the press and wrote those letters to the Mayor's office.

0:27:07 > 0:27:09He printed the necessary forms himself and

0:27:09 > 0:27:12- his friend who works at the morgue...- Put on the toe tag.

0:27:12 > 0:27:16Wait a minute. You trying to tell me this joker set this whole thing up as a publicity stunt?

0:27:16 > 0:27:17All at the city's expense.

0:27:17 > 0:27:18It's too bad his play's still closed.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21LAUGHTER Come on, sir, you've got to admit,

0:27:21 > 0:27:22- it's pretty funny.- Yeah, sure.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25Sure it's funny and I'll be sure to let the inspector know

0:27:25 > 0:27:27that you found it amusing, Isbecki.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30Maybe you had to be there.

0:27:38 > 0:27:39What are you doing?

0:27:39 > 0:27:40I'm going to go change.

0:27:40 > 0:27:43Harvey Lacey and I have a date tonight which I'm not going to miss.

0:27:46 > 0:27:49We've been at it all day, Sergeant, and getting nowhere, I might add,

0:27:49 > 0:27:51so please don't start on me with those looks.

0:27:51 > 0:27:54There's got to be something here on Martinez.

0:27:54 > 0:27:57I agree, but staring at those records all night is not

0:27:57 > 0:27:58going to make it appear.

0:27:58 > 0:28:00Why don't you go home and get some rest?

0:28:02 > 0:28:03I think I'll hang around a while.

0:28:03 > 0:28:08A couple more things I'd like to check out. Besides, Hector may call.

0:28:08 > 0:28:09Do what you like.

0:28:09 > 0:28:11- I will.- Good night.

0:28:13 > 0:28:14Good night.

0:28:25 > 0:28:27Do you really think you can get this guy?

0:28:27 > 0:28:29- She does.- What about you?

0:28:30 > 0:28:32I would love some more champagne.

0:28:37 > 0:28:39It's good to see you back at work, Mary Beth.

0:28:39 > 0:28:40I know how much you missed it.

0:28:41 > 0:28:43- Yeah?- Yeah.

0:28:43 > 0:28:44You want to know what else I missed?

0:28:47 > 0:28:49We got each other for the next three hours all to ourselves.

0:28:50 > 0:28:52Here's to tonight...

0:28:52 > 0:28:54the most beautiful woman in the world.

0:28:58 > 0:28:59HARVEY SIGHS

0:28:59 > 0:29:00I love this place.

0:29:02 > 0:29:05Oh, Mary Beth, do you see these beautiful Tiffany lamps?

0:29:06 > 0:29:08I mean, aren't they beautiful?

0:29:12 > 0:29:15- Is that for me or do you want me to get the waiter?- This?

0:29:17 > 0:29:18Oh!

0:29:23 > 0:29:24Oh, Harvey.

0:29:25 > 0:29:28Um, it's a room key for here, but upstairs?

0:29:29 > 0:29:31Ready and waiting in our name, babe.

0:29:31 > 0:29:34- Honey...- Oh, wait, Mary Beth, hold it. I know what you're going to say.

0:29:34 > 0:29:36- "We can't afford it." - I wasn't going to say that.

0:29:36 > 0:29:39And I know we only got it for a couple of hours...

0:29:39 > 0:29:42but, Mary Beth, I figure we deserve it.

0:29:42 > 0:29:43We do, Harvey.

0:29:45 > 0:29:47But, taking a room here...

0:29:47 > 0:29:49- Harv, you shouldn't have...- I know!

0:29:50 > 0:29:52..because I did too.

0:29:54 > 0:29:55SHE GIGGLES

0:30:05 > 0:30:07Cagney, what are you doing here so late?

0:30:07 > 0:30:09Don't tell me. I can guess.

0:30:09 > 0:30:11The Mansfield case, huh?

0:30:11 > 0:30:13I got the name of the buyer today.

0:30:14 > 0:30:17Cagney, I understand how you feel about this one, but...

0:30:17 > 0:30:20I can't keep it from Narcotics any longer.

0:30:20 > 0:30:23Lieutenant, please, you can't take this away from us now.

0:30:23 > 0:30:26I know that the hit on the bodyguard looks like something, but it's not.

0:30:28 > 0:30:30It's not enough.

0:30:30 > 0:30:32I mean, besides that, what have you got?

0:30:32 > 0:30:34All you've got is the unreliable word of an informant.

0:30:34 > 0:30:36Who will not deal with Narcotics.

0:30:36 > 0:30:38You bring them in here, we're going to lose Hector, Lieutenant.

0:30:38 > 0:30:41- Something's happening tomorrow and I know it.- How do you know it?

0:30:41 > 0:30:44Because Hector said the buy is going down this week

0:30:44 > 0:30:46and that only leaves us tomorrow.

0:30:46 > 0:30:48You know, if Hector leads us to Martinez,

0:30:48 > 0:30:51then we could sit on him and he'll take us to the buy and to Mansfield.

0:30:51 > 0:30:55- You're talking a very long shot here. - I'm talking one more day.

0:30:57 > 0:31:00Seeing as you're the sergeant...

0:31:00 > 0:31:03you should probably know that occasionally, reports get

0:31:03 > 0:31:04put in the wrong pouches.

0:31:06 > 0:31:09And then it could take as much as 24 hours before the whole mess

0:31:09 > 0:31:12- gets straightened out. - Thank you, Lieutenant.

0:31:23 > 0:31:25PHONE RINGS

0:31:26 > 0:31:27Hello?

0:31:29 > 0:31:30Who?

0:31:32 > 0:31:33What have you got?

0:32:31 > 0:32:33Afraid not, Hector.

0:32:33 > 0:32:37You were suppsed to find out where the deal is, not where the buyer hangs out.

0:32:39 > 0:32:42Maybe you don't hear so good, so I'm going to tell you one more time.

0:33:32 > 0:33:35I made a mistake though and he walked.

0:33:35 > 0:33:37- I'm not going to let that happen again.- Ah, yes.

0:33:38 > 0:33:42So, this dude made you look bad in front of all your compadres.

0:33:42 > 0:33:44I don't give a damn what it looked like.

0:33:44 > 0:33:46- Then why don't you quit? - Because I can't.

0:33:47 > 0:33:49Not now. Too close.

0:33:53 > 0:33:55I'm a cop, Hector.

0:33:55 > 0:33:59That's who I am, and I worked like hell to get here and I'm damn good.

0:34:01 > 0:34:05And when I watched that bastard walk and I couldn't touch him...

0:34:10 > 0:34:11I don't like to lose.

0:34:16 > 0:34:18And I have to believe that I can get him and I

0:34:18 > 0:34:20don't think I can get him without your help.

0:34:37 > 0:34:38You know, Cagney...

0:34:41 > 0:34:43..you're not an easy lady to say no to.

0:34:55 > 0:34:56I have to know where that deal is.

0:35:04 > 0:35:06I'll never ask you for anything again.
