Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:26,568 --> 00:00:28,652
Come to Los Angeles.
2
00:00:28,820 --> 00:00:33,157
The sun shines bright, the
beaches are wide and inviting ...
3
00:00:33,324 --> 00:00:36,910
and the orange groves stretch
as far as the eye can see.
4
00:00:37,787 --> 00:00:41,040
There are jobs aplenty
and land is cheap.
5
00:00:41,249 --> 00:00:43,584
Every workingman can
have his own house ...
6
00:00:43,793 --> 00:00:48,505
and inside every house,
a happy, all-American family.
7
00:00:48,673 --> 00:00:51,717
You can have all this.
And who knows?
8
00:00:51,885 --> 00:00:53,969
You could even be discovered ...
9
00:00:54,137 --> 00:00:57,431
become a movie star,
or at least see one.
10
00:00:57,599 --> 00:00:59,892
Life is good in Los Angeles.
11
00:01:00,060 --> 00:01:02,728
It's paradise on Earth.
12
00:01:04,564 --> 00:01:08,901
That's what they tell you, anyway,
because they're selling an image.
13
00:01:09,069 --> 00:01:12,780
They're selling it through movies,
radio and television.
14
00:01:12,947 --> 00:01:16,825
In the hit show "Badge of Honor",
the L.A. cops walk on water ...
15
00:01:16,993 --> 00:01:19,453
as they keep the city
clean of crooks.
16
00:01:19,621 --> 00:01:22,998
Yep, you'd think this place
was the Garden of Eden.
17
00:01:23,166 --> 00:01:25,417
But there's trouble in paradise ...
18
00:01:25,585 --> 00:01:29,963
and his name is Meyer Harris Cohen,
Mickey C to his fans.
19
00:01:30,298 --> 00:01:34,843
Local L.A. color to the nth degree.
And his number-one bodyguard ...
20
00:01:36,221 --> 00:01:37,471
Johnny Stompanato.
21
00:01:37,639 --> 00:01:40,557
Mickey C's the head
of organized crime in these parts.
22
00:01:40,725 --> 00:01:45,771
He runs dope, rackets and prostitution.
He kills a dozen people a year ...
23
00:01:46,356 --> 00:01:49,483
and the dapper little gent
does it in style.
24
00:01:49,651 --> 00:01:52,611
And every time his picture's
on the front page ...
25
00:01:52,779 --> 00:01:55,823
it's a black eye
for the image of Los Angeles.
26
00:01:55,990 --> 00:01:58,450
Because how can organized crime exist ...
27
00:01:58,660 --> 00:02:02,162
in the city with the best
police force in the world?
28
00:02:02,330 --> 00:02:03,622
Something has to be done.
29
00:02:03,790 --> 00:02:06,875
But nothing too original,
because, hey, this is Hollywood.
30
00:02:07,085 --> 00:02:10,212
What worked for Al Capone
would work for the Mickster.
31
00:02:10,380 --> 00:02:14,675
Mr. Cohen, you're under arrest.
Non-payment of federal income tax.
32
00:02:15,009 --> 00:02:16,593
But all is not well.
33
00:02:16,803 --> 00:02:20,889
Sending Mickey up has created a vacuum,
and it's only a matter of time ...
34
00:02:21,057 --> 00:02:25,060
before someone
with balls of brass tries to fill it.
35
00:02:25,228 --> 00:02:30,941
"Remember, dear readers,
you heard it here first.
36
00:02:31,109 --> 00:02:35,696
Off the record, on the q.t. ...
37
00:02:35,864 --> 00:02:39,366
and very hush-hush."
38
00:02:57,719 --> 00:03:03,015
You're like Santa Claus with that list, Bud,
except everyone on it's been naughty.
39
00:03:04,309 --> 00:03:06,935
Guy's been out of Q two weeks.
40
00:03:07,604 --> 00:03:08,645
Leave it for later.
41
00:03:08,813 --> 00:03:11,732
We gotta pick up the booze
and get it to the station.
42
00:03:14,235 --> 00:03:16,195
Hollywood, this is 6-Adam-7.
43
00:03:16,362 --> 00:03:20,324
Have Central send a prowler
to 4216 Evergreen.
44
00:03:20,491 --> 00:03:23,202
Parole violation.
Assault arising from a family dispute.
45
00:03:23,369 --> 00:03:25,120
We won't be here,
but they'll see him.
46
00:03:34,797 --> 00:03:35,964
Quit your whining.
47
00:03:36,132 --> 00:03:38,383
Quit whining all the time.
It makes me sick.
48
00:03:38,718 --> 00:03:40,594
Shut up.
49
00:03:55,109 --> 00:03:58,654
- Who in the hell are you?
- The ghost of Christmas past.
50
00:03:59,697 --> 00:04:02,991
- Dance with a man for a change.
- What are you, some kind of smart-ass?
51
00:04:16,506 --> 00:04:20,842
You'll be out in a year and a half.
I'll get cozy with your parole officer.
52
00:04:21,010 --> 00:04:25,639
You touch her again, I'll have you
violated on a kiddie-raper beef.
53
00:04:26,724 --> 00:04:29,851
You know what they do
to kiddie rapers in Quentin.
54
00:04:38,820 --> 00:04:40,946
You got someplace you can go?
55
00:04:41,823 --> 00:04:44,032
Go get yourself fixed up.
56
00:04:48,538 --> 00:04:49,705
Merry Christmas, huh?
57
00:04:50,373 --> 00:04:53,041
- Merry Christmas, ma'am.
- Let's go, Bud.
58
00:04:53,209 --> 00:04:55,002
The guys will be waiting.
59
00:04:58,881 --> 00:05:01,008
What do you do on "Badge of Honor",
Jack?
60
00:05:01,217 --> 00:05:04,011
I'm the, um, technical adviser.
61
00:05:04,178 --> 00:05:07,889
I teach Brett Chase
how to walk and talk like a cop.
62
00:05:08,057 --> 00:05:10,225
Brett Chase doesn't
walk and talk like you.
63
00:05:10,393 --> 00:05:13,061
Well, that's because
he's the television version.
64
00:05:13,229 --> 00:05:15,397
America isn't ready for the real me.
65
00:05:15,565 --> 00:05:17,566
Is it true you're the one
who arrested Bob Mitchum?
66
00:05:17,734 --> 00:05:18,775
Mm-hm.
67
00:05:18,943 --> 00:05:20,569
These "Badge of Honor" guys
like to pretend ...
68
00:05:20,737 --> 00:05:23,655
but being the real thing
must be a thrill.
69
00:05:23,823 --> 00:05:25,657
Why don't you and I
go someplace quiet?
70
00:05:25,825 --> 00:05:28,076
I'd love to give you the lowdown
on Mitchum.
71
00:05:28,244 --> 00:05:31,204
- Big V. Jack Vincennes.
- Hey.
72
00:05:31,372 --> 00:05:32,956
- May I have this dance?
- Of course.
73
00:05:33,124 --> 00:05:35,459
Karen, this is Sid Hudgens
from Hush-Hush magazine.
74
00:05:35,626 --> 00:05:37,961
- Hello, Karen.
- Hello, yourself.
75
00:05:38,254 --> 00:05:39,421
Mm-hm.
76
00:05:39,589 --> 00:05:40,714
What's that about?
77
00:05:40,882 --> 00:05:44,426
We did a piece, "ingénue Dykes in
Hollywood." Her name got mentioned.
78
00:05:45,386 --> 00:05:46,803
Hey, Jackie boy ...
79
00:05:46,971 --> 00:05:49,556
a friend just sold some reefer
to Matt Reynolds.
80
00:05:49,724 --> 00:05:52,684
He's tripping the "Light Fantastic"
with Tammy Jordan.
81
00:05:54,312 --> 00:05:56,313
Sorry, I lost you for a second, Sid.
82
00:05:56,481 --> 00:06:00,776
Contract players, Metro. You pinch
them, I do a nice feature next issue.
83
00:06:00,943 --> 00:06:03,403
- Plus the usual 50 cash.
- No, I need another 50.
84
00:06:03,613 --> 00:06:07,074
Two 20s for two patrolmen,
and a dime for the watch commander.
85
00:06:07,241 --> 00:06:09,743
Jackie, it's Christmas.
86
00:06:09,911 --> 00:06:11,244
No, it's not.
87
00:06:11,412 --> 00:06:13,455
It's felony possession of marijuana.
88
00:06:15,041 --> 00:06:18,585
Actually, it's circulation 36,000
and climbing.
89
00:06:18,753 --> 00:06:21,546
There's no telling where this is gonna go.
Radio, television.
90
00:06:22,090 --> 00:06:25,717
Once you whet the public's appetite
for the truth, the sky's the limit.
91
00:06:30,807 --> 00:06:33,809
Sergeant Ed Exley,
son of the legendary Preston Exley.
92
00:06:34,102 --> 00:06:35,644
Must be a hard act to follow.
93
00:06:37,313 --> 00:06:40,482
Why not make a mark somewhere else?
Why become a cop, Ed?
94
00:06:40,942 --> 00:06:42,734
I like to help people.
95
00:06:42,944 --> 00:06:45,570
We heard two officers
were assaulted this evening.
96
00:06:45,780 --> 00:06:48,532
- What do you think about that?
- Goes with the job.
97
00:06:48,741 --> 00:06:50,659
I took the report.
Luckily, they're okay.
98
00:06:50,868 --> 00:06:52,786
Aren't you young
to be watch commander?
99
00:06:52,954 --> 00:06:53,995
It's only tonight.
100
00:06:54,455 --> 00:06:56,998
The married men have Christmas Eve off.
101
00:06:57,166 --> 00:06:59,084
- That's a good lead for the story.
- Sure.
102
00:06:59,335 --> 00:07:01,253
Merry Christmas, captain.
103
00:07:01,421 --> 00:07:03,964
- Captain Smith.
- Drop the formalities, Bobby.
104
00:07:04,132 --> 00:07:07,843
- It's Christmas Eve. Call me Dudley.
- I came up with a title for the story.
105
00:07:08,010 --> 00:07:10,846
I'm calling it
"Silent Night With the L.A.P.D."
106
00:07:11,139 --> 00:07:12,597
That's grand.
107
00:07:13,516 --> 00:07:16,518
Now, remember, Bobby, that's "Smith."
With an S.
108
00:07:19,355 --> 00:07:21,690
- Thank you, gentlemen. Merry Christmas.
- Thank you.
109
00:07:21,858 --> 00:07:22,858
Hold on there, lads.
110
00:07:26,154 --> 00:07:28,905
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas to you.
111
00:07:30,283 --> 00:07:33,160
I saw the test results
on the lieutenant's exam.
112
00:07:33,327 --> 00:07:36,580
First out of 23.
What'll it be, then?
113
00:07:36,747 --> 00:07:39,207
Patrol Division?
Internal Affairs? What?
114
00:07:39,375 --> 00:07:40,876
I was thinking
Detective Bureau.
115
00:07:45,506 --> 00:07:48,508
Edmund, you're a political animal.
116
00:07:48,676 --> 00:07:51,761
You have the eye for human weakness,
but not the stomach.
117
00:07:53,473 --> 00:07:55,223
You're wrong, sir.
118
00:07:55,391 --> 00:07:59,144
Would you be willing to plant evidence
on a suspect you knew to be guilty ...
119
00:07:59,353 --> 00:08:01,146
in order to ensure an indictment?
120
00:08:01,397 --> 00:08:03,482
- We've been over this.
- Yes or no?
121
00:08:03,691 --> 00:08:04,816
No.
122
00:08:04,984 --> 00:08:08,069
Would you beat a confession
out of a suspect you knew to be guilty?
123
00:08:08,237 --> 00:08:09,237
No.
124
00:08:09,405 --> 00:08:12,073
Would you shoot
a hardened criminal in the back ...
125
00:08:12,241 --> 00:08:14,618
in order to offset the chance
that some lawyer --?
126
00:08:14,785 --> 00:08:16,119
No.
127
00:08:16,287 --> 00:08:19,456
Then for the love of God,
don't be a detective.
128
00:08:19,624 --> 00:08:22,584
Stick to assignments where you don't
have to make those choices.
129
00:08:23,085 --> 00:08:25,086
Dudley, I know you mean well ...
130
00:08:25,421 --> 00:08:29,257
but I don't need to do it
the way you did, or my father.
131
00:08:30,426 --> 00:08:32,552
At least get rid of the glasses.
132
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,388
I can't think of a man
in the bureau who wears them.
133
00:08:44,565 --> 00:08:46,691
If I get held up,
you guys better be here.
134
00:08:52,615 --> 00:08:55,367
Hi, Nick. I need a delivery.
135
00:08:55,535 --> 00:08:58,286
A case each of gin, rum, Scotch.
136
00:08:58,454 --> 00:09:01,081
That sounds like a hell of a party.
Be right with you.
137
00:09:19,976 --> 00:09:21,101
Merry Christmas.
138
00:09:22,937 --> 00:09:24,896
Merry Christmas to you, officer.
139
00:09:27,608 --> 00:09:28,900
That obvious, huh?
140
00:09:29,485 --> 00:09:31,820
It's practically
stamped on your forehead.
141
00:09:32,780 --> 00:09:33,905
There you go, White.
142
00:10:07,023 --> 00:10:08,857
See what he wants, Buzz.
143
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,695
Hey.
144
00:10:13,863 --> 00:10:15,864
Get lost, why don't you?
145
00:10:23,164 --> 00:10:25,373
Down.
Get your fucking head down.
146
00:10:25,541 --> 00:10:28,543
I got a license for that.
147
00:10:31,714 --> 00:10:34,424
Cut me some slack.
I used to be a cop.
148
00:10:34,634 --> 00:10:36,718
"Leland Meeks."
Never heard of you.
149
00:10:37,178 --> 00:10:39,220
They call me Buzz.
150
00:10:39,388 --> 00:10:42,891
I don't give a rat's ass what
they call you. Keep your head down.
151
00:10:43,059 --> 00:10:46,019
And stay there, Buzz.
152
00:10:47,897 --> 00:10:50,690
- You okay?
- She's fine.
153
00:10:51,067 --> 00:10:52,484
I'm not asking you, sir.
154
00:10:54,445 --> 00:10:57,906
- Somebody hit you?
- It's not what you think.
155
00:11:01,202 --> 00:11:02,243
What is it, then?
156
00:11:02,411 --> 00:11:05,830
You got the wrong idea, mister.
I'm fine.
157
00:11:06,415 --> 00:11:09,209
But it's nice to know you care.
158
00:11:17,510 --> 00:11:19,594
Drive safely.
159
00:11:20,554 --> 00:11:22,305
What's going on?
160
00:11:25,726 --> 00:11:29,521
- You know him?
- Yeah, I've seen him around.
161
00:11:30,773 --> 00:11:32,399
He used to be a cop.
162
00:11:38,989 --> 00:11:41,616
They're sitting in the dark,
goofing on a Christmas tree.
163
00:11:41,784 --> 00:11:44,411
All right.
Put your camera right there.
164
00:11:44,578 --> 00:11:48,873
When I walk out, I'll stop here. Get
the movie premiere in the background.
165
00:11:49,083 --> 00:11:51,960
I like it. I like it.
"The Movie Premiere Pot Bust."
166
00:11:52,128 --> 00:11:55,213
When I walk out, I don't want
those floodlights in my eyes.
167
00:11:55,423 --> 00:11:57,966
Big V, consider it done.
You hear that, Chip?
168
00:11:58,134 --> 00:12:00,468
All right, come on.
Get down.
169
00:12:04,598 --> 00:12:06,516
Go. Pop them.
170
00:12:09,854 --> 00:12:11,104
Freeze. Police.
171
00:12:12,022 --> 00:12:15,775
Hold it.
- Come on. Come on, let's go.
172
00:12:15,943 --> 00:12:17,152
I got my family coming --
173
00:12:17,319 --> 00:12:20,613
- it'll be a nice Christmas gift.
- Hi, Tammy. Hi, Matt.
174
00:12:20,823 --> 00:12:21,865
Right over here.
175
00:12:22,074 --> 00:12:24,117
- Just turn.
- Hold it. Got it.
176
00:12:25,077 --> 00:12:29,247
- "The Movie Premiere Pot Bust."
- Take them in. I'll get the evidence.
177
00:12:41,510 --> 00:12:44,012
It's Christmas Eve
in the City of Angels ...
178
00:12:44,180 --> 00:12:47,432
and while decent citizens
sleep the sleep of the righteous ...
179
00:12:47,641 --> 00:12:50,059
hopheads prowl for marijuana ...
180
00:12:50,269 --> 00:12:53,605
not knowing that a man
is coming to stop them:
181
00:12:54,064 --> 00:12:57,525
Celebrity crime-stopper
Jack Vincennes ...
182
00:12:57,693 --> 00:13:02,489
scourge of grasshoppers
and dope fiends everywhere.
183
00:13:02,656 --> 00:13:05,033
You like it, Jackie boy?
184
00:13:06,327 --> 00:13:08,495
Yeah, subtle.
185
00:13:09,163 --> 00:13:10,205
What took you?
186
00:13:10,372 --> 00:13:13,249
My partner stopped
to help a damsel in distress.
187
00:13:13,459 --> 00:13:16,085
His priorities are all screwed up.
188
00:13:16,253 --> 00:13:18,046
Up to your old tricks again, Bud?
189
00:13:18,464 --> 00:13:19,547
Bye.
190
00:13:19,715 --> 00:13:23,426
Hollywood Jack, what brings
you to our humble station house?
191
00:13:23,594 --> 00:13:25,386
- How are you?
- What are you doing here?
192
00:13:25,554 --> 00:13:27,555
You know me.
Keeping the streets safe, boys.
193
00:13:27,765 --> 00:13:30,225
Take these two,
get them dressed and book them.
194
00:13:30,518 --> 00:13:33,144
- The party's upstairs.
- Okay, I'll be right up. Exley.
195
00:13:39,318 --> 00:13:40,360
What's that for?
196
00:13:40,528 --> 00:13:43,029
Well, you are watch commander tonight,
aren't you?
197
00:13:43,239 --> 00:13:44,280
Yeah. So?
198
00:13:44,448 --> 00:13:47,951
A gratuity from Hush-Hush magazine.
Buy yourself a new pair of loafers.
199
00:13:48,202 --> 00:13:50,662
No, thanks, Jack.
You keep your payoff.
200
00:13:51,539 --> 00:13:52,580
I'm not interested.
201
00:14:00,756 --> 00:14:03,675
- What the hell's this?
- Six spics.
202
00:14:03,843 --> 00:14:07,220
Mexicans, sir. The ones who assaulted
Brown and Helenowski.
203
00:14:07,388 --> 00:14:10,390
I heard Helenowski lost six pints of blood
and Brown's in a coma.
204
00:14:10,558 --> 00:14:12,267
They're home with bruises.
205
00:14:12,434 --> 00:14:15,186
- That's not what I heard.
- Get these men into the lockup.
206
00:14:15,354 --> 00:14:20,149
Stens, you guys hear what those taco
benders did to Helenowski and Brown?
207
00:14:21,402 --> 00:14:25,947
Helenowski lost an eye, and they're
reading Brown his last rites.
208
00:14:27,741 --> 00:14:31,035
That ought to make for a very merry
Christmas for Helenowski and Brown.
209
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:35,415
Hey, guys. Guys.
They brought the Mexicans in.
210
00:14:36,792 --> 00:14:38,126
They're downstairs.
211
00:14:40,629 --> 00:14:43,298
- Let's do it.
- Come on, guys. Let's get them.
212
00:14:46,093 --> 00:14:47,927
Stensland, the party's upstairs.
213
00:14:49,638 --> 00:14:51,264
This doesn't concern you.
214
00:14:52,266 --> 00:14:54,809
Come on, guys.
Haven't you got work to do?
215
00:14:54,977 --> 00:14:56,144
Go back to the party.
216
00:14:57,438 --> 00:15:00,648
- Come on, it's Christmas. Help me out.
- Out of the way. Move it.
217
00:15:00,816 --> 00:15:04,944
- I just got a few more questions.
- You don't all have to be down here.
218
00:15:05,487 --> 00:15:06,487
Go.
219
00:15:08,741 --> 00:15:12,327
Hey, White? You better put a leash
on your partner before he kills somebody.
220
00:15:15,331 --> 00:15:17,457
- Teach him a lesson.
Get him, Stens.
221
00:15:18,626 --> 00:15:20,668
This is for ours, Pancho.
222
00:15:21,420 --> 00:15:23,171
Get him, Stens.
223
00:15:23,464 --> 00:15:24,505
Let me through.
224
00:15:26,342 --> 00:15:27,800
No. He didn't do nothing.
225
00:15:27,968 --> 00:15:30,637
What are you looking at?
What are you looking at?
226
00:15:31,305 --> 00:15:33,848
- Tell that Mexican to shut up.
- Move. Move.
227
00:15:34,266 --> 00:15:35,308
You're sick.
228
00:15:37,561 --> 00:15:39,354
Stens!
229
00:15:39,605 --> 00:15:43,107
- Stens. Hey. Hey. Come on. Come on.
- Don't break it up.
230
00:15:43,692 --> 00:15:45,068
Get back. Get back.
231
00:15:45,527 --> 00:15:48,196
- Yeah, and fuck your mother.
- Fuck you.
232
00:15:50,866 --> 00:15:53,284
- Come on!
- Stop, officer. That's an order.
233
00:15:55,371 --> 00:15:56,955
Hey.
234
00:15:58,874 --> 00:16:00,750
Yeah, all right.
235
00:16:02,294 --> 00:16:04,796
- You're all going in my report.
- Let's go, Exley.
236
00:16:23,857 --> 00:16:25,233
"Bloody Christmas."
237
00:16:25,734 --> 00:16:28,277
The press love to label.
238
00:16:29,071 --> 00:16:31,906
You should know this is bigger
than the police board.
239
00:16:32,074 --> 00:16:36,244
The grand jury's convening.
Indictments may be handed down.
240
00:16:36,578 --> 00:16:39,247
- Will you testify?
- No, sir. I won't.
241
00:16:42,418 --> 00:16:44,544
District Attorney Loew?
242
00:16:44,712 --> 00:16:48,548
You and Officer Stensland
brought the liquor to the station.
243
00:16:48,716 --> 00:16:51,050
Stensland was already drunk.
244
00:16:51,218 --> 00:16:54,095
Do you see how appearing as a
voluntary witness against him ...
245
00:16:54,263 --> 00:16:56,848
could offset the damage
you've done to yourself?
246
00:16:57,016 --> 00:16:59,767
Sir, I won't testify against my partner
or anyone else.
247
00:16:59,935 --> 00:17:01,936
This man is a disgrace.
248
00:17:02,229 --> 00:17:05,940
Your badge and gun, officer.
You're suspended from duty.
249
00:17:07,401 --> 00:17:09,318
Dismissed.
250
00:17:25,085 --> 00:17:26,461
Ed.
251
00:17:26,628 --> 00:17:29,839
We need police witnesses to offset
the damage done to the department.
252
00:17:30,007 --> 00:17:32,383
- I'm asking you --
- Justice has to be served.
253
00:17:32,551 --> 00:17:34,135
Of course I'll testify.
254
00:17:37,222 --> 00:17:40,266
I'm glad you feel that way, Edmund.
Most of the men don't.
255
00:17:40,476 --> 00:17:43,144
They think silence and integrity
are the same thing.
256
00:17:43,562 --> 00:17:48,608
Not exactly the image of the new L.A.P.D.
we're trying to create.
257
00:17:48,817 --> 00:17:51,778
Welcome to Los Angeles,
the city of the future.
258
00:17:51,987 --> 00:17:54,572
- May I make a suggestion, sir?
- By all means.
259
00:17:54,740 --> 00:17:57,492
The public will expect the department
to protect its own ...
260
00:17:57,659 --> 00:18:00,995
and sweep this under the carpet.
Don't.
261
00:18:01,497 --> 00:18:04,457
Shift the guilt to men
whose pensions are secured.
262
00:18:04,625 --> 00:18:06,334
Force them to retire.
263
00:18:07,628 --> 00:18:13,007
But somebody has to swing,
so indict, try and convict ...
264
00:18:13,175 --> 00:18:15,009
Richard Stensland and Bud White.
265
00:18:15,469 --> 00:18:19,013
Secure them jail time.
The message will be very clear:
266
00:18:19,598 --> 00:18:22,016
This department, your new L.A.P.D ...
267
00:18:22,184 --> 00:18:25,353
will not tolerate officers
who think they're above the law.
268
00:18:25,521 --> 00:18:28,564
Dick Stensland is an embarrassment
as a policeman.
269
00:18:28,774 --> 00:18:32,443
He's had rotten fitness reports
from every CO he's served under ...
270
00:18:33,028 --> 00:18:35,029
but Bud White is a valuable officer.
271
00:18:35,197 --> 00:18:36,864
White's a mindless thug.
272
00:18:37,032 --> 00:18:38,825
No, Edmund.
273
00:18:39,034 --> 00:18:43,037
He's just a man who can answer "yes"
to those questions I've asked you.
274
00:18:43,622 --> 00:18:46,624
The department and the
public need role models.
275
00:18:46,792 --> 00:18:49,877
Clean-cut, forthright men
the public can admire.
276
00:18:51,547 --> 00:18:54,632
Sergeant, I'll promote you ...
277
00:18:54,883 --> 00:18:58,094
to lieutenant, effective immediately.
278
00:18:58,262 --> 00:18:59,554
Detective lieutenant.
279
00:19:01,807 --> 00:19:03,432
Ed, you're 30.
280
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,353
Your father didn't make lieutenant
until he was 33.
281
00:19:07,521 --> 00:19:08,646
I know that, sir.
282
00:19:08,814 --> 00:19:11,524
I also know when he made lieutenant,
it was as a detective.
283
00:19:11,692 --> 00:19:14,110
Before we start polishing our laurels ...
284
00:19:14,319 --> 00:19:16,904
it'd look better if we had
a corroborative witness.
285
00:19:17,406 --> 00:19:20,867
That won't be easy to come by.
The men hate a stool pigeon.
286
00:19:21,076 --> 00:19:22,910
Jack Vincennes.
287
00:19:23,078 --> 00:19:25,830
He hit one of the Mexicans
and saw the whole thing.
288
00:19:25,998 --> 00:19:29,667
A veteran like Vincennes might be
willing to admit his own culpability ...
289
00:19:30,169 --> 00:19:32,420
but he'd never rat out
a fellow officer.
290
00:19:33,088 --> 00:19:36,132
Jack's the technical adviser
on "Badge of Honor".
291
00:19:36,341 --> 00:19:37,675
He lives for it.
292
00:19:37,926 --> 00:19:39,594
That's the way to get to him.
293
00:19:43,056 --> 00:19:45,266
I'd like you to observe, Ed.
294
00:19:48,937 --> 00:19:50,521
Call Sergeant Vincennes.
295
00:19:51,273 --> 00:19:52,773
Bright kid.
296
00:19:52,941 --> 00:19:54,942
You may well reap the benefit, Ed ...
297
00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:58,029
but are you prepared to be despised
in the department?
298
00:19:58,697 --> 00:20:00,114
Yes, sir, I am.
299
00:20:02,117 --> 00:20:03,117
So be it.
300
00:20:09,374 --> 00:20:11,709
Well, sergeant, we'll get right to it.
301
00:20:12,211 --> 00:20:16,214
Nine civilian witnesses have identified
you as hitting Ezekiel Garcia.
302
00:20:16,381 --> 00:20:18,799
But we have a stellar witness
who will name names ...
303
00:20:18,967 --> 00:20:22,595
and also testify that you hit back
only after being hit.
304
00:20:22,763 --> 00:20:25,973
- And?
- And you will testify against three officers ...
305
00:20:26,141 --> 00:20:28,100
who have already
earned their pension ...
306
00:20:28,268 --> 00:20:30,895
and plead ignorance
to questions at the other men.
307
00:20:31,313 --> 00:20:33,314
No, thanks.
I'm not a snitch.
308
00:20:33,482 --> 00:20:36,984
I'll guarantee you a slap on the wrist,
a brief suspension ...
309
00:20:37,152 --> 00:20:40,488
followed by a temporary transfer
from Narcotics to Vice.
310
00:20:40,822 --> 00:20:43,574
When you transfer out of Vice,
you'll be back on the show.
311
00:20:48,580 --> 00:20:49,622
The show?
312
00:20:50,165 --> 00:20:51,832
"Badge of Honor", Vincennes.
313
00:20:53,418 --> 00:20:56,254
We need to tone down
your profile for a bit.
314
00:20:57,130 --> 00:20:58,506
Jack ...
315
00:20:58,674 --> 00:21:02,969
I doubt you've ever taken
a stupid breath. Don't start now.
316
00:21:03,512 --> 00:21:04,804
Okay, I'll do it.
317
00:21:08,183 --> 00:21:10,935
The grand jury will hear
your testimony tomorrow.
318
00:21:11,103 --> 00:21:12,520
Dismissed, Vincennes.
319
00:21:23,782 --> 00:21:25,783
And so it goes ...
320
00:21:26,201 --> 00:21:28,035
detective lieutenant.
321
00:21:29,788 --> 00:21:32,290
Ace them at the
grand jury tomorrow, son.
322
00:21:32,541 --> 00:21:35,293
Wear a smart-looking suit
and ace them.
323
00:21:36,211 --> 00:21:39,213
And, Ed, lose the glasses.
324
00:21:49,558 --> 00:21:52,310
So you're the stellar witness.
325
00:21:52,561 --> 00:21:56,147
I should have known.
What's the chief throwing you?
326
00:21:56,523 --> 00:21:59,650
- Throwing me?
- Yeah, Exley, what's the payoff?
327
00:21:59,985 --> 00:22:01,819
You're the payoff expert.
328
00:22:02,237 --> 00:22:03,279
I'm just doing my duty.
329
00:22:03,488 --> 00:22:07,033
Come on, you're playing an angle here,
college boy, right?
330
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,369
You're getting something so you
don't have to hobnob with cops ...
331
00:22:10,537 --> 00:22:12,371
who are gonna hate you
for snitching.
332
00:22:12,748 --> 00:22:15,333
Well, if they're making you detective,
watch out.
333
00:22:15,834 --> 00:22:17,752
Some bureau guys
are gonna burn in this ...
334
00:22:17,919 --> 00:22:20,087
and you're gonna work
with friends of theirs.
335
00:22:20,255 --> 00:22:21,672
What about you?
336
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:26,093
I'm snitching three old-timers who'll be
fishing in Oregon next week.
337
00:22:26,428 --> 00:22:28,346
Next to you, I'm clean ...
338
00:22:28,597 --> 00:22:29,764
and smart.
339
00:22:29,931 --> 00:22:32,600
Edmund J. Exley to chambers.
340
00:22:34,936 --> 00:22:35,978
And remember ...
341
00:22:36,188 --> 00:22:39,648
Bud White will fuck you for this
if it takes him the rest of his life.
342
00:22:43,528 --> 00:22:45,112
Captain, what do you want?
343
00:22:46,281 --> 00:22:47,531
Call me Dudley.
344
00:22:48,033 --> 00:22:51,202
Dudley, what do you want?
345
00:22:52,454 --> 00:22:55,956
Look, lad, I admire
your refusal to testify ...
346
00:22:56,375 --> 00:22:58,376
and your loyalty to your partner.
347
00:22:58,877 --> 00:23:00,836
I admire you as a policeman ...
348
00:23:01,046 --> 00:23:05,466
particularly your adherence to violence
as a necessary adjunct to the job.
349
00:23:05,634 --> 00:23:08,886
And I'm most impressed with your
punishment of women-beaters.
350
00:23:09,930 --> 00:23:11,138
Do you hate them, Wendell?
351
00:23:13,725 --> 00:23:14,892
What do you want?
352
00:23:19,398 --> 00:23:20,815
They're yours.
353
00:23:22,234 --> 00:23:24,068
Go ahead, take them.
354
00:23:26,738 --> 00:23:28,197
There's no goddamn bill on me?
355
00:23:28,407 --> 00:23:30,991
- Four witnesses recanted their testimony.
- Why?
356
00:23:31,159 --> 00:23:33,494
- They had a change of heart.
- What about Stensland?
357
00:23:33,995 --> 00:23:35,579
Your partner's through.
358
00:23:35,831 --> 00:23:37,957
Departmental scapegoat
on the chief's orders.
359
00:23:38,125 --> 00:23:40,084
A year from his pension.
360
00:23:43,171 --> 00:23:44,213
Exley.
361
00:23:44,381 --> 00:23:46,465
Exley made his play
and got what he wanted.
362
00:23:46,633 --> 00:23:50,010
As a politician, he exceeds even myself.
363
00:23:50,846 --> 00:23:53,681
The department needs
smart men like Exley ...
364
00:23:54,182 --> 00:23:57,435
and direct men like you.
365
00:23:58,854 --> 00:24:02,857
Look, lad, I need you for an assignment
the chief's given me the go-ahead on.
366
00:24:03,024 --> 00:24:07,319
A duty few men are fit for,
but you were born for.
367
00:24:08,029 --> 00:24:10,656
You'd be working out of Homicide
down at City Hall.
368
00:24:10,866 --> 00:24:12,032
Homicide?
369
00:24:13,034 --> 00:24:14,535
Working cases?
370
00:24:15,704 --> 00:24:18,289
Your talents lie elsewhere, Wendell.
371
00:24:18,874 --> 00:24:20,499
It's a muscle job.
372
00:24:21,710 --> 00:24:26,881
You'll do as I say and ask no questions.
Do you follow my drift?
373
00:24:27,132 --> 00:24:29,216
In Technicolor, sir.
374
00:24:31,470 --> 00:24:34,763
Meet Tony Brancato
and Anthony Trombino ...
375
00:24:34,973 --> 00:24:38,267
two rising lieutenants
in the Mickey Cohen rackets.
376
00:24:38,477 --> 00:24:40,519
With the dapper little gent in prison ...
377
00:24:40,687 --> 00:24:44,899
who knows how far they'll go?
The sky's the limit.
378
00:24:51,531 --> 00:24:52,573
Oh, well.
379
00:25:05,670 --> 00:25:10,132
Meet Deuce Perkins,
Mickey Cohen's narcotics lieutenant.
380
00:25:10,342 --> 00:25:11,759
Could he be behind the hits?
381
00:25:12,511 --> 00:25:15,346
Is he consolidating
organized-crime power?
382
00:25:21,436 --> 00:25:23,103
I suppose not.
383
00:25:28,610 --> 00:25:30,152
One thing's for sure:
384
00:25:30,362 --> 00:25:33,614
Two-man triggers are punching the tickets
on the Mickster's muscle.
385
00:25:44,292 --> 00:25:46,877
Meanwhile, rumor has it the L.A.P.D ...
386
00:25:47,045 --> 00:25:51,924
has set up a not-so-welcome wagon to
dishearten out-of-town criminal element ...
387
00:25:52,133 --> 00:25:55,427
from filling the void left by
Mickey's absence.
388
00:25:55,637 --> 00:25:58,556
When I know more, dear readers,
so will you.
389
00:25:58,807 --> 00:26:01,475
Off the record, on the q.t. ...
390
00:26:01,893 --> 00:26:05,479
and very hush-hush.
391
00:26:06,648 --> 00:26:10,651
With Mickey Cohen in prison,
Los Angeles is organized-crime free.
392
00:26:10,986 --> 00:26:12,736
The chief wants to keep it that way.
393
00:26:14,114 --> 00:26:17,074
Now, in Cleveland, you're an
organized-crime associate ...
394
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:21,078
in desperate needs of re-education
in the ways of polite society.
395
00:26:23,498 --> 00:26:25,291
I hear things.
396
00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:27,459
Like those two-man shooter teams.
397
00:26:27,669 --> 00:26:31,505
Bang, bang. They're eighty-sixing Cohen's
lieutenants. Tell me, what do you want?
398
00:26:32,340 --> 00:26:34,091
We want you to go home.
399
00:26:38,847 --> 00:26:40,472
Picture-book smut, gentlemen.
400
00:26:40,682 --> 00:26:44,351
There's been a bunch of this
found at collateral crime scenes lately.
401
00:26:44,603 --> 00:26:49,648
Quality ranges from piss-poor
to very well done.
402
00:26:50,567 --> 00:26:53,277
- Look who's back from suspension.
- Here, Jack.
403
00:26:53,445 --> 00:26:55,487
We're honored, Sergeant Jack.
404
00:26:55,697 --> 00:26:59,116
Ah, look at that.
The great jerk-off case of 1953.
405
00:26:59,451 --> 00:27:01,660
There someplace you'd rather be,
Vincennes?
406
00:27:02,203 --> 00:27:05,372
Yeah, working Narcotics,
looking for Cohen's missing H.
407
00:27:05,540 --> 00:27:09,752
Yeah, finding 25 pounds of heroin
would get you plenty of ink.
408
00:27:09,961 --> 00:27:12,421
Maybe you should've thought of that
before "Bloody Christmas."
409
00:27:12,589 --> 00:27:13,714
Oh.
410
00:27:14,132 --> 00:27:16,050
Make a major case, sergeant.
411
00:27:16,217 --> 00:27:18,719
It's the only way
you're getting out of here.
412
00:27:19,471 --> 00:27:20,888
Dismissed, gentlemen.
413
00:27:29,064 --> 00:27:31,023
Go get the facts, Jack.
414
00:27:31,232 --> 00:27:33,067
Just the facts.
415
00:27:40,575 --> 00:27:42,117
Whatever you desire.
416
00:27:42,327 --> 00:27:45,079
Hi. I'd like to get a delivery
to Beverly Hills.
417
00:27:45,288 --> 00:27:46,372
I don't know you.
418
00:27:46,915 --> 00:27:50,084
Well, a friend just gave me this number
and I just wanted to find out if --
419
00:27:52,420 --> 00:27:56,465
Ginger, you grab a reverse directory
and shag a name and address for me?
420
00:27:56,675 --> 00:27:58,592
Crestview 2239.
421
00:28:05,850 --> 00:28:08,185
Hush-Hush, off the record,
on the q.t.
422
00:28:08,603 --> 00:28:10,354
Sid, it's Vincennes.
423
00:28:10,522 --> 00:28:13,941
Jackie! Hey, you back on Narco?
I need some good copy.
424
00:28:14,109 --> 00:28:16,193
No, but I do
have something going with Vice.
425
00:28:16,361 --> 00:28:17,986
Something juicy for the Sidster?
426
00:28:18,196 --> 00:28:20,447
Tracking porn.
Arty, high-class stuff.
427
00:28:20,615 --> 00:28:23,784
What do you know about Fleur-de-Lis?
Slogan's "Whatever you desire."
428
00:28:23,952 --> 00:28:25,577
No, I've heard bupkes.
429
00:28:25,787 --> 00:28:29,456
Get me some Narco skinny.
I want to do an all-hophead issue.
430
00:28:29,624 --> 00:28:33,544
Shvartze jazz musicians and movie stars.
You like it?
431
00:28:33,712 --> 00:28:36,046
Yeah, I'll talk to you later, Sid.
What do you got?
432
00:28:36,214 --> 00:28:39,299
- Number's not assigned, sergeant.
- Thanks, Ginger.
433
00:28:41,136 --> 00:28:42,469
A bootleg.
434
00:28:49,436 --> 00:28:50,978
Hey.
435
00:28:51,563 --> 00:28:52,771
Take it easy.
436
00:28:52,981 --> 00:28:54,440
Tough break, Stens.
437
00:28:54,649 --> 00:28:56,775
Good man.
We're gonna miss you around here.
438
00:28:56,985 --> 00:28:58,652
Raw deal, Stensland.
439
00:29:01,948 --> 00:29:03,824
Here comes the snitch.
440
00:29:15,003 --> 00:29:16,628
Sorry about that, lieutenant.
441
00:29:33,605 --> 00:29:35,439
Stay out of trouble, Bud.
442
00:29:37,942 --> 00:29:40,152
I got a couple hours.
I'll buy you a drink.
443
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,488
- Rain check. No, I got a hot date.
- Come on.
444
00:29:43,448 --> 00:29:46,700
Yeah? Who is she
and what did you arrest her for?
445
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:48,577
It's confidential.
446
00:29:48,787 --> 00:29:53,707
Like that magazine that Vincennes
scams for. Hush-Hush.
447
00:29:54,876 --> 00:29:56,710
I'll see you later in the week.
448
00:29:57,295 --> 00:29:59,254
We'll do the town, on me.
449
00:29:59,464 --> 00:30:02,466
Yeah. I'll bring my wallet
just in case.
450
00:30:06,721 --> 00:30:08,972
- See you tomorrow.
- Hang on a minute.
451
00:30:09,808 --> 00:30:11,225
I'll walk down with you.
452
00:30:19,901 --> 00:30:22,569
- Punk kid.
Who the hell is he trying to impress?
453
00:30:23,488 --> 00:30:27,241
- Yeah, I wonder.
- Got himself a real career going.
454
00:30:31,496 --> 00:30:33,914
Sergeant Williams, pick up, please.
455
00:30:35,083 --> 00:30:36,750
Sergeant Williams?
456
00:30:40,004 --> 00:30:42,840
Is there anybody up there in Homicide?
457
00:30:43,842 --> 00:30:45,425
Anybody there?
458
00:30:47,679 --> 00:30:48,887
Lieutenant Exley.
459
00:30:49,097 --> 00:30:51,056
You've got a homicide downtown.
460
00:30:51,266 --> 00:30:55,519
- The Nite Owl Coffee Shop.
- I got it. it's mine.
461
00:31:07,115 --> 00:31:09,908
Sir, at least one person's dead.
I stopped for coffee.
462
00:31:10,118 --> 00:31:12,452
No one comes through the front door.
Understand?
463
00:31:12,620 --> 00:31:14,329
Yes, sir.
464
00:32:49,175 --> 00:32:51,843
I want barricades at both ends
of the street. Make sure --
465
00:32:52,011 --> 00:32:55,472
Sir? I took the call. It's my case.
466
00:32:56,057 --> 00:32:58,308
You don't want it, Edmund,
and you can't have it.
467
00:32:58,476 --> 00:33:01,520
- I took the call.
- It's mine.
468
00:33:01,896 --> 00:33:03,230
I'll make you
my second-in-command.
469
00:33:03,398 --> 00:33:05,232
Captain Smith? Over here, please.
470
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,235
- The back door.
- Nobody else inside.
471
00:33:10,071 --> 00:33:12,406
Looks like the cook drew a handgun
and set it off.
472
00:33:12,573 --> 00:33:14,491
The rest were killed in the men's room.
473
00:33:18,997 --> 00:33:20,163
Sir ...
474
00:33:20,415 --> 00:33:24,167
we got a total of 15 spent
12-gauge Remington shotgun shells.
475
00:33:24,335 --> 00:33:28,547
I'm betting three men, five-shot capacity
pumps, all of them emptying once.
476
00:33:28,715 --> 00:33:31,675
Excuse me, sir, we got an ID
on one of the victims.
477
00:33:32,260 --> 00:33:33,677
It's Dick Stensland.
478
00:33:36,264 --> 00:33:38,807
When I first saw her, I thought
she was Rita Hayworth.
479
00:33:39,017 --> 00:33:40,434
Yeah, me too.
480
00:33:50,153 --> 00:33:52,279
Hell of a way to avoid
a prison sentence.
481
00:34:02,957 --> 00:34:04,249
You tell me what happened?
482
00:34:04,792 --> 00:34:07,377
Appears three men
held up a coffee shop.
483
00:34:07,587 --> 00:34:10,422
The guy at the register pulled a .38,
so they killed him.
484
00:34:10,923 --> 00:34:14,301
Then they took everyone else out back
and killed them too.
485
00:34:15,595 --> 00:34:18,638
Lieutenant, we're ready
with that Nite Owl ID.
486
00:34:24,145 --> 00:34:26,104
Is this your daughter, Mrs. Lefferts?
487
00:34:26,814 --> 00:34:28,482
I don't know.
488
00:34:29,275 --> 00:34:31,943
We know this is difficult.
Just take your time.
489
00:34:33,654 --> 00:34:35,989
It seems like my Susan ...
490
00:34:36,157 --> 00:34:39,117
but my Susan was a blond,
not a redhead.
491
00:34:39,285 --> 00:34:41,161
When was the last time you saw her?
492
00:34:41,621 --> 00:34:43,622
Just before Christmas.
493
00:34:44,165 --> 00:34:47,084
We'd fought.
I didn't like her boyfriend.
494
00:34:47,668 --> 00:34:51,630
Mrs. Lefferts, does your daughter
have any distinguishing characteristics?
495
00:34:52,673 --> 00:34:55,634
You got the wrong idea, mister.
I'm fine.
496
00:34:56,469 --> 00:34:59,638
She has a birthmark on her hip.
497
00:35:05,478 --> 00:35:07,020
It's her.
498
00:35:07,688 --> 00:35:09,815
My baby.
499
00:35:13,027 --> 00:35:14,861
I'm sorry, Mrs. Lefferts.
500
00:35:16,030 --> 00:35:18,448
Who's in charge of this investigation?
501
00:35:18,866 --> 00:35:20,367
Captain Smith and myself.
Why?
502
00:35:23,037 --> 00:35:24,454
"The Nite Owl Massacre."
503
00:35:24,622 --> 00:35:26,414
Hyperbole aside ...
504
00:35:26,624 --> 00:35:30,293
this is a heinous crime
that requires swift resolution.
505
00:35:31,212 --> 00:35:32,337
Six victims.
506
00:35:32,547 --> 00:35:35,215
One of them one of our own.
Dick Stensland.
507
00:35:35,383 --> 00:35:39,803
As it happens, he was a Nite Owl regular,
in the wrong place at the wrong time.
508
00:35:40,221 --> 00:35:42,180
Robbery is the likely motive.
509
00:35:42,390 --> 00:35:44,474
We have rubber-glove smears
on the register ...
510
00:35:44,642 --> 00:35:48,603
and preliminary forensics strongly tend
towards a trio of shooters.
511
00:35:48,771 --> 00:35:50,814
We do have one hot lead,
so listen well.
512
00:35:51,232 --> 00:35:53,191
Three Negro juveniles ...
513
00:35:53,401 --> 00:35:57,028
were seen discharging shotguns
last night in Griffith Park.
514
00:35:57,238 --> 00:36:01,283
A park ranger ID'd them as driving
a 1948 to 1950 Mercury coupe ...
515
00:36:01,492 --> 00:36:02,868
maroon in color.
516
00:36:03,327 --> 00:36:07,038
An hour ago, a canvassing crew
turned up a news vendor ...
517
00:36:07,206 --> 00:36:10,917
who saw a maroon Merc parked
across from the Nite Owl around 1 a.m.
518
00:36:11,419 --> 00:36:15,213
DMV has come up with
a registration list of Merc coupes.
519
00:36:16,424 --> 00:36:20,927
Forty-eight two-man teams will shake
three names apiece.
520
00:36:21,596 --> 00:36:24,222
Interrogations will be led by
Lieutenant Edmund Exley.
521
00:36:27,685 --> 00:36:29,436
Enough on that.
522
00:36:32,273 --> 00:36:35,942
Gentlemen, just go out and get them.
Use all necessary force.
523
00:36:37,069 --> 00:36:39,279
The people of Los Angeles demand it.
524
00:36:39,906 --> 00:36:41,239
Dismissed.
525
00:36:44,619 --> 00:36:46,620
Why not just put a bounty on them?
526
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:55,212
You ready to roll?
527
00:36:55,379 --> 00:36:57,130
Take them.
I got something I gotta do.
528
00:36:57,298 --> 00:37:00,967
- What if one of these names --?
- Get somebody else.
529
00:37:01,802 --> 00:37:04,054
Well, I got our assignments, Big V.
530
00:37:04,263 --> 00:37:07,307
We go by this list, we got
zero chance of making this collar.
531
00:37:07,475 --> 00:37:10,143
I got a guy who knows what's going on
south of Jefferson.
532
00:37:10,311 --> 00:37:13,605
- He can put us at fifty-fifty.
- Jack, what are you doing?
533
00:37:14,065 --> 00:37:16,650
Same sort of thing
that got you in trouble last time.
534
00:37:16,817 --> 00:37:18,276
I'll take those odds.
535
00:37:22,323 --> 00:37:23,823
We got it from here.
536
00:37:25,910 --> 00:37:28,495
Between the two of you,
you should bring a photographer.
537
00:37:33,501 --> 00:37:37,003
I need an address on a customer
of yours. Her name is Lynn.
538
00:37:37,171 --> 00:37:39,005
- That's all I got to go on?
- Yeah.
539
00:37:39,340 --> 00:37:41,841
I think you already know who I mean,
so cough it up.
540
00:37:42,176 --> 00:37:45,345
There's a billing address
and a delivery address.
541
00:38:12,039 --> 00:38:13,832
Are you Pierce Patchett?
542
00:38:14,875 --> 00:38:16,209
I am.
543
00:38:18,212 --> 00:38:22,340
Are you soliciting for police charities?
Last time you called at my office.
544
00:38:22,717 --> 00:38:25,677
Go on down to the driveway.
We'll talk there.
545
00:38:36,689 --> 00:38:38,231
What can I do for you?
546
00:38:39,233 --> 00:38:42,861
- Where were you last night?
- I was here hosting a party.
547
00:38:44,572 --> 00:38:48,700
- Tell me about Dick Stensland.
- I don't know him, Mr ...?
548
00:38:49,035 --> 00:38:50,410
Officer White.
549
00:38:51,495 --> 00:38:52,746
Sue Lefferts? You know her?
550
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,373
You know I do.
You saw me with her.
551
00:38:57,084 --> 00:38:58,752
How did you find me?
552
00:38:59,378 --> 00:39:03,548
Nick's Liquor. This is where
Lynn Bracken's booze bills go.
553
00:39:03,758 --> 00:39:05,383
Of course.
554
00:39:08,262 --> 00:39:10,430
Sue Lefferts died at the Nite Owl.
555
00:39:11,057 --> 00:39:12,724
I'm investigating.
556
00:39:14,894 --> 00:39:18,772
- Everything all right?
- Fine, Phillip. Thank you.
557
00:39:22,943 --> 00:39:25,528
What happened to the other guy, Buzz?
558
00:39:25,696 --> 00:39:28,114
Buzz Meeks no longer works for me.
559
00:39:28,282 --> 00:39:30,867
Lefferts looked beat-up Christmas Eve
but didn't act it.
560
00:39:31,035 --> 00:39:34,037
I think she'd been hit in the face
with a tennis racket. She is --
561
00:39:34,205 --> 00:39:36,790
Was a big doubles fan.
562
00:39:37,625 --> 00:39:40,627
You're a known associate of a woman
killed in a mass murder.
563
00:39:41,462 --> 00:39:43,922
Wanna go downtown
and discuss this officially?
564
00:39:44,090 --> 00:39:45,799
Is that what this is? Official?
565
00:39:46,592 --> 00:39:51,137
Somehow I have the feeling this is more
personal with you, Mr. White.
566
00:39:54,433 --> 00:39:55,934
All right, then ...
567
00:39:56,769 --> 00:40:01,231
are you concerned about criminal matters
peripheral to the Nite Owl murders?
568
00:40:01,399 --> 00:40:04,818
- Not at the moment.
- You wouldn't feel obligated to report them?
569
00:40:07,154 --> 00:40:09,322
Why were Lefferts' eyes black?
570
00:40:09,657 --> 00:40:12,492
I needed a Rita Hayworth
to fill out my little studio.
571
00:40:12,660 --> 00:40:13,827
What little studio?
572
00:40:13,994 --> 00:40:17,664
Well, there's Gardner, Russell,
Monroe, Turner ...
573
00:40:17,832 --> 00:40:20,166
Lynn Bracken is my Veronica Lake.
574
00:40:20,668 --> 00:40:23,169
I use girls that look like movie stars.
575
00:40:23,337 --> 00:40:25,964
Sometimes I employ a plastic surgeon.
576
00:40:26,507 --> 00:40:28,967
When the work had been done,
that's when you saw us.
577
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:31,511
That's why her mother couldn't ID her.
578
00:40:33,139 --> 00:40:34,597
Jesus fucking Christ.
579
00:40:34,807 --> 00:40:36,850
No, Mr. White,
Pierce Morehouse Patchett.
580
00:40:39,186 --> 00:40:42,689
I sense you're on your best behavior,
but that's all I'm gonna tell you.
581
00:40:43,065 --> 00:40:45,191
If you persist,
I'll meet you with my attorney.
582
00:40:46,318 --> 00:40:48,528
Now, would you like
Lynn Bracken's address?
583
00:40:48,696 --> 00:40:50,363
I got her address.
584
00:40:51,657 --> 00:40:53,700
Find Susan's killer, Mr. White.
585
00:40:54,201 --> 00:40:56,327
I'll give you a handsome reward.
586
00:41:01,667 --> 00:41:03,751
Whatever you desire.
587
00:41:11,218 --> 00:41:12,802
Come on.
I know you're not asleep.
588
00:41:15,222 --> 00:41:17,223
You talking to me?
What do you want?
589
00:41:17,391 --> 00:41:19,058
My 5 bucks.
590
00:41:19,226 --> 00:41:21,686
It was the only one I had.
591
00:41:21,896 --> 00:41:23,062
Right now?
592
00:41:23,564 --> 00:41:26,065
Hey, doll face,
tell him to leave us alone.
593
00:41:26,233 --> 00:41:28,568
I understand.
Okay, fine.
594
00:41:30,070 --> 00:41:31,237
Oh, baby ...
595
00:41:32,531 --> 00:41:33,907
bad news.
596
00:41:34,074 --> 00:41:35,241
You have to go.
597
00:41:35,409 --> 00:41:36,576
Go?
598
00:41:36,911 --> 00:41:39,579
Something very important has come up
and you have to go ...
599
00:41:39,747 --> 00:41:42,499
but I'll make it up to you, okay?
600
00:41:43,876 --> 00:41:45,251
I will, I promise. Excuse me.
601
00:41:47,755 --> 00:41:49,214
Is it the cops?
602
00:41:53,761 --> 00:41:56,262
Miss Bracken, I'm Officer White.
603
00:41:56,430 --> 00:41:59,057
I've been expecting you,
just not this soon.
604
00:41:59,225 --> 00:42:01,935
Pierce called.
He told me what happened to Sue.
605
00:42:02,102 --> 00:42:05,271
Everything all right, doll?
Want me to get rid of him?
606
00:42:05,606 --> 00:42:07,440
Hit the road, pal.
607
00:42:08,943 --> 00:42:10,401
Maybe I will ...
608
00:42:10,945 --> 00:42:12,403
maybe I won't.
609
00:42:12,780 --> 00:42:16,407
L.A.P.D., shit-bird. Get out of here
or I'll call your wife to come get you.
610
00:42:32,967 --> 00:42:34,551
- Officer.
- Councilman.
611
00:42:53,153 --> 00:42:56,656
- Would you care for a drink?
- Yeah, Scotch straight.
612
00:43:02,454 --> 00:43:06,124
I was friendly with Sue Lefferts,
but we weren't friends.
613
00:43:06,458 --> 00:43:07,792
You know what I mean?
614
00:43:08,168 --> 00:43:09,836
You sorry she's dead?
615
00:43:11,630 --> 00:43:13,131
Of course I am.
616
00:43:13,465 --> 00:43:15,341
What kind of question is that?
617
00:43:17,511 --> 00:43:19,804
Do you know why Pierce
is humoring you?
618
00:43:20,014 --> 00:43:22,348
Use words like that,
you might make me mad.
619
00:43:22,683 --> 00:43:25,310
- But do you know?
- Yeah, I know.
620
00:43:26,312 --> 00:43:31,441
Patchett's running whores
cut to look like movie stars.
621
00:43:31,650 --> 00:43:35,153
And judging by his address,
probably something bigger on the side.
622
00:43:35,321 --> 00:43:37,196
He doesn't want any attention.
623
00:43:37,489 --> 00:43:41,034
That's right. Our motives are selfish,
so we're cooperating.
624
00:43:41,201 --> 00:43:44,120
So cooperate. Why was
Susan Lefferts at the Nite Owl?
625
00:43:44,538 --> 00:43:47,165
I don't know. I never heard of
the Nite Owl till today.
626
00:43:47,333 --> 00:43:50,293
- How did she meet Patchett?
- Pierce meets people.
627
00:43:50,502 --> 00:43:54,339
Sue came on a bus with dreams of
Hollywood and this is how they turned out.
628
00:43:54,882 --> 00:43:58,718
Thanks to Pierce,
we still get to act a little.
629
00:43:59,219 --> 00:44:01,554
Tell me about Pierce.
630
00:44:01,889 --> 00:44:03,973
He's waiting for you to mention money.
631
00:44:05,184 --> 00:44:08,353
- You want some advice, Miss Bracken?
- It's Lynn.
632
00:44:08,729 --> 00:44:13,191
Miss Bracken, don't ever try to fucking
bribe me or threaten me ...
633
00:44:13,359 --> 00:44:15,985
or I'll have you and Patchett
in shit up to your ears.
634
00:44:17,071 --> 00:44:19,530
I remember you from Christmas Eve.
635
00:44:20,741 --> 00:44:23,910
You have a thing for helping women,
don't you, Officer White?
636
00:44:24,745 --> 00:44:26,537
Maybe I'm just fucking curious.
637
00:44:26,872 --> 00:44:30,208
- You say "fuck" a lot.
- You fuck for money.
638
00:44:30,417 --> 00:44:34,045
There's blood on your shirt.
Is that an integral part of your job?
639
00:44:34,213 --> 00:44:35,922
- Yeah.
- Do you enjoy it?
640
00:44:36,090 --> 00:44:38,841
- When they deserve it.
- Did they deserve it today?
641
00:44:40,552 --> 00:44:41,594
I'm not sure.
642
00:44:41,762 --> 00:44:43,262
- But you did it anyway.
- Yeah.
643
00:44:44,056 --> 00:44:46,265
Just like the half-dozen guys
you screwed today.
644
00:44:47,559 --> 00:44:49,602
Well, actually, it was only two.
645
00:44:52,064 --> 00:44:54,023
You're different, Officer White.
646
00:44:54,191 --> 00:44:58,736
You're the first man in five years
who didn't tell me I look like Veronica Lake.
647
00:44:58,904 --> 00:45:00,697
You look better than Veronica Lake.
648
00:45:06,245 --> 00:45:07,286
Pierce Patchett?
649
00:45:08,956 --> 00:45:11,791
He takes a cut of our earnings
and invests it for us.
650
00:45:11,959 --> 00:45:15,128
He doesn't let us use narcotics
and he doesn't abuse us.
651
00:45:15,462 --> 00:45:19,632
Can your policeman's mentality
grasp those contradictions?
652
00:45:21,468 --> 00:45:23,803
He had you cut
to look like Veronica Lake.
653
00:45:23,971 --> 00:45:25,430
No.
654
00:45:25,597 --> 00:45:28,766
I'm really a brunette,
but the rest is me.
655
00:45:30,310 --> 00:45:32,937
And that's all the news
that's fit to print.
656
00:45:34,148 --> 00:45:36,566
It was nice meeting you, officer.
657
00:45:40,821 --> 00:45:44,615
- I'd like to see you again.
- You asking for a date, or an appointment?
658
00:45:46,618 --> 00:45:47,910
I don't know.
659
00:45:48,078 --> 00:45:51,748
- For a date, I should know your first name.
- Forget I asked.
660
00:45:52,791 --> 00:45:54,292
It was a mistake.
661
00:46:14,855 --> 00:46:16,314
Leonard Bidwell?
662
00:46:17,483 --> 00:46:19,484
Come on down here and talk to us.
663
00:46:21,528 --> 00:46:24,447
- How's the left these days?
- What's it to you?
664
00:46:24,615 --> 00:46:28,326
Oh, I saw you fight Kid Gavilan.
I like your style.
665
00:46:30,829 --> 00:46:32,705
What do you want, Mr. Policeman?
666
00:46:33,499 --> 00:46:36,042
You got a brother in Folsom.
I know, I put him there.
667
00:46:36,210 --> 00:46:37,293
Until 19-fucking-70.
668
00:46:37,503 --> 00:46:39,545
How'd you like to make it 1960?
669
00:46:39,838 --> 00:46:42,215
I know the judge,
and Lieutenant Exley here ...
670
00:46:42,382 --> 00:46:44,550
is very good friends with the DA.
671
00:46:45,552 --> 00:46:46,928
Yeah.
672
00:46:47,095 --> 00:46:50,556
We're looking for three colored guys
who like to pop off shotguns.
673
00:46:50,724 --> 00:46:52,892
One owns a maroon Mercury coupe.
674
00:46:53,227 --> 00:46:56,395
- Wanna give me a snitch jacket?
- Wanna buy your brother 10 years?
675
00:46:56,563 --> 00:46:58,481
- It was 10 years, right?
- Yeah, 10 years.
676
00:46:58,690 --> 00:47:01,901
You don't have to say anything,
just look at this list ...
677
00:47:02,236 --> 00:47:03,736
and point.
678
00:47:06,073 --> 00:47:08,074
He's bad, so I'll just tell you.
679
00:47:08,534 --> 00:47:09,909
Sugar Ray Collins.
680
00:47:10,077 --> 00:47:12,370
Drives a maroon '49 coupe.
681
00:47:12,871 --> 00:47:14,539
Beautiful ride.
682
00:47:15,207 --> 00:47:19,418
Don't know about shotguns,
but he gets his thrills killing dogs.
683
00:47:19,711 --> 00:47:21,003
He's righteous trash.
684
00:47:21,421 --> 00:47:24,590
Look at that. It's five minutes
from here. Thanks.
685
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:28,261
So I'll hear from you, right?
686
00:47:29,263 --> 00:47:33,224
- About my brother?
- Keep it up, Lenny. Up.
687
00:47:39,231 --> 00:47:41,524
There it is. It's in the back.
688
00:47:58,792 --> 00:48:01,419
- One of ours.
- Shit, somebody beat us here.
689
00:48:07,467 --> 00:48:09,051
- Damn it.
- What?
690
00:48:09,219 --> 00:48:12,138
- My glasses.
- You're kidding.
691
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:15,641
Well, just don't shoot me.
692
00:48:24,443 --> 00:48:26,277
What are you guys doing here?
693
00:48:27,279 --> 00:48:28,988
We were just in the neighborhood.
694
00:48:29,156 --> 00:48:30,156
What do you got?
695
00:48:30,324 --> 00:48:33,743
Three 12-gauge pumps, an empty box
of double-aught buck, and some cash.
696
00:48:36,079 --> 00:48:38,831
So long, Vice.
"Badge of Honor", here I come.
697
00:48:38,999 --> 00:48:42,168
- Fuck you, Vincennes. This is our collar.
- Quiet.
698
00:48:42,336 --> 00:48:46,005
I'm ranking officer here.
We go as a team. End of story.
699
00:48:51,303 --> 00:48:52,345
Yeah, right.
700
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:57,308
- How many ways in?
- Only one. Up the stairs.
701
00:48:58,685 --> 00:49:00,686
He's very serious.
702
00:49:15,202 --> 00:49:17,370
- Police.
- Don't shoot.
703
00:49:17,537 --> 00:49:19,121
No!
704
00:49:19,289 --> 00:49:20,539
- Don't move.
- Ace him, Jack.
705
00:49:20,707 --> 00:49:23,042
- Shut up.
- Anxious, aren't you?
706
00:49:23,210 --> 00:49:24,335
Don't kill them.
707
00:49:25,921 --> 00:49:29,173
- Hey.
- Back, back, back.
708
00:49:29,341 --> 00:49:32,885
- Man, get off me.
- Against the wall. Against the wall.
709
00:49:33,053 --> 00:49:35,388
- Put your hands up.
- Get over there. Come on.
710
00:49:36,515 --> 00:49:38,349
Now, shut up. Hands behind your back.
711
00:49:39,518 --> 00:49:40,559
So ...
712
00:49:41,186 --> 00:49:43,896
how's it feel
getting out of the office?
713
00:49:49,903 --> 00:49:51,570
This just came up from Forensics.
714
00:49:51,780 --> 00:49:53,239
"Burning clothes.
715
00:49:54,449 --> 00:49:56,575
Casitas Youth Camp ..."
716
00:49:59,955 --> 00:50:04,166
- it's crowded in here, White.
- These guys killed Stensland.
717
00:50:20,767 --> 00:50:23,602
Ejection marks on the shells
from the suspects' shotguns ...
718
00:50:23,770 --> 00:50:26,939
are identical to the marks on the
shell casings at the Nite Owl.
719
00:50:27,274 --> 00:50:29,275
I want confessions, Edmund.
720
00:50:29,443 --> 00:50:32,445
A night's stewing
ought to have softened them up.
721
00:50:32,863 --> 00:50:34,613
Oh, I'll break them, sir.
722
00:50:54,634 --> 00:50:57,636
Are you sure Golden Boy
is up to the task, cap?
723
00:50:58,305 --> 00:51:01,307
Oh, I think you'd be surprised
what the lad is capable of.
724
00:51:03,643 --> 00:51:05,603
You're 22. Aren't you, Ray?
725
00:51:11,068 --> 00:51:12,818
Did one of the officers work you over?
726
00:51:15,238 --> 00:51:18,157
- You're 22, right?
- Why do you keep asking that?
727
00:51:18,325 --> 00:51:20,743
Twenty-two makes it
a gas-chamber bounce.
728
00:51:21,161 --> 00:51:23,621
You should've pulled
this caper years ago.
729
00:51:23,789 --> 00:51:26,999
Get life,
do a little Youth Authority jolt ...
730
00:51:27,167 --> 00:51:29,085
transfer to Folsom a big man.
731
00:51:29,419 --> 00:51:33,422
- Get yourself a sissy ...
- Hey, I don't truck with no sissies.
732
00:51:36,343 --> 00:51:39,136
- Louis.
- What?
733
00:51:40,764 --> 00:51:43,349
You did the Casitas Youth Camp
with Louis.
734
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:47,436
Why do you keep asking me about Louis?
His business is his business.
735
00:51:47,604 --> 00:51:51,107
Sugar, Louis told me
you went sissy up at Casitas.
736
00:51:51,274 --> 00:51:55,361
You couldn't do the time, so you got
a big white boy to look after you.
737
00:51:55,529 --> 00:52:00,199
Said they called you "Sugar"
because you gave it out so sweet.
738
00:52:01,034 --> 00:52:05,204
Louis gave it up at Casitas, man.
I was the boss jock in my dorm.
739
00:52:05,372 --> 00:52:06,455
Louis was the sissy.
740
00:52:06,790 --> 00:52:10,876
Louis gave it up for fucking candy bars.
He ain't got the sense of a goddamn dog.
741
00:52:11,962 --> 00:52:15,965
- I heard you like to shoot dogs.
- Dogs got no reason to live.
742
00:52:17,968 --> 00:52:21,387
- You feel the same way about people too?
- What you trying to say?
743
00:52:21,805 --> 00:52:24,974
- We got the shotguns, Ray.
- I don't own no shotguns.
744
00:52:25,142 --> 00:52:27,518
Why were you throwing clothes
in the incinerator?
745
00:52:27,811 --> 00:52:28,853
Say what?
746
00:52:29,354 --> 00:52:33,816
A neighbor said she saw you throwing
clothes in the backyard incinerator.
747
00:52:34,025 --> 00:52:35,234
It doesn't look good.
748
00:52:35,402 --> 00:52:37,570
I ain't got shit to say till I see a judge.
749
00:52:37,779 --> 00:52:41,323
Were you on hop? You were passed out
when we arrested you. You hopped up?
750
00:52:41,533 --> 00:52:44,076
Ty and Louis fuck with that shit,
not me.
751
00:52:44,286 --> 00:52:46,036
Where do they get their stuff?
752
00:52:47,372 --> 00:52:48,539
- Man ...
- Come on.
753
00:52:48,957 --> 00:52:52,168
Give me one to feed the DA.
It'll make me look good ...
754
00:52:52,377 --> 00:52:56,088
and I'll say Sugar Ray's not a punk
like his sissy partners.
755
00:53:01,344 --> 00:53:02,595
All right, Raymond.
756
00:53:02,762 --> 00:53:05,014
Tell me one more thing
about Jones and Fontaine.
757
00:53:05,390 --> 00:53:06,682
Where do they get drugs?
758
00:53:09,728 --> 00:53:11,270
Roland Navarette.
759
00:53:12,856 --> 00:53:15,524
He runs a hole-up on Bunker Hill.
760
00:53:15,692 --> 00:53:17,693
And he sells red devils.
761
00:53:18,486 --> 00:53:21,363
- Exley's good, I'll give him that.
- I'm gonna take a break.
762
00:53:25,410 --> 00:53:28,454
You know, Ray,
I'm talking about the gas chamber ...
763
00:53:29,331 --> 00:53:31,874
and you haven't even asked me
what this is about.
764
00:53:32,500 --> 00:53:35,169
You got a big "guilty" sign
around your neck.
765
00:53:39,925 --> 00:53:43,135
That was masterful, Edmund.
This one's ready to go.
766
00:53:50,977 --> 00:53:53,562
Give Jones the newspaper.
I want him primed.
767
00:53:53,772 --> 00:53:56,106
Take the cuffs off, so he can read it.
768
00:53:56,650 --> 00:54:00,444
Ray Collins just ratted you off.
Said the Nite Owl was your idea.
769
00:54:00,612 --> 00:54:04,323
I think it was Ray's idea.
You talk, I think I can save your life.
770
00:54:05,784 --> 00:54:08,661
Son, six people are dead,
and someone has to pay for it.
771
00:54:08,828 --> 00:54:11,789
Now, it can be you,
or it can be Ray.
772
00:54:13,959 --> 00:54:15,793
Louis, he called you queer.
773
00:54:16,127 --> 00:54:19,964
- Said at Casitas, you took it up the ass.
- I didn't kill nobody!
774
00:54:22,300 --> 00:54:23,467
Son ...
775
00:54:25,303 --> 00:54:27,930
you know what's gonna happen to you
if you don't talk.
776
00:54:28,098 --> 00:54:32,017
You'll go to the gas chamber.
So for God's sake, admit what you did.
777
00:54:32,185 --> 00:54:33,936
I didn't mean to hurt her.
778
00:54:34,145 --> 00:54:36,981
- Maybe she's okay.
- Okay?
779
00:54:38,149 --> 00:54:41,610
These people are all in the morgue.
They were dead when you left them.
780
00:54:41,778 --> 00:54:46,323
I just wanted to lose my cherry.
She don't die, so I don't die.
781
00:54:46,658 --> 00:54:49,285
She don't die, so I don't die.
782
00:54:49,452 --> 00:54:52,079
Louis, who's the girl?
What's her name?
783
00:54:52,497 --> 00:54:54,248
Who are you talking about?
784
00:54:54,833 --> 00:54:56,583
Was she at the Nite Owl?
785
00:54:57,168 --> 00:54:59,503
Louis, listen to me.
Was she at the Nite Owl?
786
00:55:06,845 --> 00:55:09,388
- This newspaper shit ain't shit.
- Where's the girl?
787
00:55:09,556 --> 00:55:11,056
Did you kill her?
788
00:55:11,224 --> 00:55:13,767
You wanted Louis to lose his cherry.
That wasn't enough.
789
00:55:13,935 --> 00:55:15,894
Things got out of hand.
You made her bleed.
790
00:55:16,062 --> 00:55:18,480
She bled on your clothes,
so you burned the clothes.
791
00:55:18,648 --> 00:55:20,566
Who told you that?
792
00:55:20,859 --> 00:55:22,318
Now, listen to me.
793
00:55:22,527 --> 00:55:25,070
If that girl is alive,
she's the only chance you've got.
794
00:55:25,238 --> 00:55:28,574
- I think she's alive.
- You think? Then where is she now?
795
00:55:28,742 --> 00:55:31,744
Did you leave her someplace?
Sell her out?
796
00:55:31,911 --> 00:55:33,579
- Tell me where she is.
- Move.
797
00:55:35,665 --> 00:55:38,751
What are you doing, man? Don't.
798
00:55:39,878 --> 00:55:40,919
White.
799
00:55:42,088 --> 00:55:45,591
- One in six. Where's the girl?
- White, I have this under control.
800
00:55:45,759 --> 00:55:48,302
- Put the weapon down.
- Where is the girl?
801
00:55:53,725 --> 00:55:55,726
- Sylvester.
- What?
802
00:55:55,894 --> 00:55:59,521
Sylvester Fitch, 109 Avalon ...
803
00:55:59,981 --> 00:56:03,567
brown corner house, upstairs.
804
00:56:14,954 --> 00:56:17,247
- Captain, just give me one minute.
- You got it.
805
00:56:23,421 --> 00:56:26,632
Nobody moves.
The rest of us are going in the front.
806
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:29,176
Stay put until I give the word.
807
00:58:54,614 --> 00:58:56,406
He went around back, sir.
808
00:58:57,992 --> 00:59:00,494
Miss, I'm Lieutenant Exley.
I'm sorry to ask you this.
809
00:59:00,662 --> 00:59:04,665
- I need to know what time they left you.
- Get her to the hospital. Excuse me.
810
00:59:05,166 --> 00:59:06,583
Give your career a rest.
811
00:59:07,085 --> 00:59:08,418
Leave her alone.
812
00:59:08,586 --> 00:59:11,255
A naked guy with a gun?
You expect anyone to believe that?
813
00:59:11,422 --> 00:59:13,674
Get the fuck away from me.
814
00:59:13,841 --> 00:59:16,718
- How's it gonna look in your report?
- It'll look like justice.
815
00:59:16,886 --> 00:59:19,304
That's what the man got. Justice.
816
00:59:19,472 --> 00:59:21,640
You don't know the meaning
of the word.
817
00:59:22,433 --> 00:59:25,727
Yeah? Well, you think it means
getting your picture in the paper.
818
00:59:25,937 --> 00:59:28,230
Go after criminals for a change,
instead of cops.
819
00:59:28,398 --> 00:59:30,566
Stensland got what he deserved
and so will you.
820
00:59:35,989 --> 00:59:37,239
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
821
00:59:40,493 --> 00:59:41,827
Take it easy. Come on, Bud.
822
00:59:42,829 --> 00:59:45,330
Come on. Let it go.
823
00:59:45,498 --> 00:59:47,499
It's best to stay away
when his blood is up.
824
00:59:47,667 --> 00:59:49,293
His blood's always up.
825
00:59:50,795 --> 00:59:52,838
You should
stay away from him altogether.
826
00:59:53,715 --> 00:59:57,092
Raymond Collins,
Ty Jones and Louis Fontaine.
827
00:59:57,302 --> 01:00:00,012
They are considered armed
and extremely dangerous.
828
01:00:00,221 --> 01:00:02,848
Repeat.
The Nite Owl suspects have escaped.
829
01:00:03,308 --> 01:00:05,183
How did they get out the window?
830
01:00:05,393 --> 01:00:07,269
They jumped from the second floor.
831
01:00:07,478 --> 01:00:09,896
Girl made her statement.
Jigs left her at midnight.
832
01:00:10,064 --> 01:00:11,690
Time to be at the Nite Owl by 1.
833
01:00:12,650 --> 01:00:16,153
The question was where did they
get their drugs. What was the answer?
834
01:00:16,321 --> 01:00:18,405
I haven't gotten that far yet.
835
01:00:18,656 --> 01:00:22,284
"Roland Navarette,
lives on Bunker Hill, runs a hole-up --"
836
01:00:24,579 --> 01:00:25,954
Anyone seen Jack Vincennes?
837
01:00:27,999 --> 01:00:31,710
- is something up, lieutenant?
- I need some backup. Come on.
838
01:00:48,936 --> 01:00:51,188
- What?
- Nothing. Let's go.
839
01:00:59,697 --> 01:01:01,114
This should be it.
840
01:01:05,703 --> 01:01:07,621
404.
841
01:01:28,434 --> 01:01:30,102
Nobody moves.
842
01:01:31,104 --> 01:01:33,689
- Stay right there. You're under arrest.
- Don't shoot.
843
01:01:33,856 --> 01:01:36,775
- Please don't shoot.
- Don't move. Don't move.
844
01:02:28,953 --> 01:02:32,080
There he is. You did good, kid.
845
01:02:32,290 --> 01:02:35,542
You should've seen the place.
It was a nightmare. Blood everywhere.
846
01:02:36,127 --> 01:02:38,086
Who would have thought?
Shotgun Ed.
847
01:02:38,254 --> 01:02:41,131
- Shotgun Ed.
- Somebody get him cleaned up.
848
01:02:41,382 --> 01:02:43,008
Come on, kid.
849
01:02:45,636 --> 01:02:48,930
Edmund J. Exley
has amassed a brilliant record ...
850
01:02:49,098 --> 01:02:52,267
in his seven years
with the Los Angeles Police Department.
851
01:02:52,477 --> 01:02:55,604
Recently, he evinced spectacular bravery
in the line of duty.
852
01:02:55,813 --> 01:02:58,648
It is our privilege to present him
with our highest honor:
853
01:02:58,983 --> 01:03:00,692
The Medal of Valor.
854
01:03:00,860 --> 01:03:03,195
- What kind of car was it?
- It was a Ford.
855
01:03:03,404 --> 01:03:06,198
My husband always drove a Ford.
I know what they look like.
856
01:03:06,824 --> 01:03:09,618
Excuse me, ma'am.
Just the facts. Light or dark?
857
01:03:09,786 --> 01:03:13,580
Light. And that's really
all I remember, officer.
858
01:03:14,499 --> 01:03:16,500
Thank you, ma'am.
You've been a big help.
859
01:03:17,001 --> 01:03:18,710
Cut. That's a print.
860
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:21,922
- Hey, Big Jack.
- He's back.
861
01:03:22,089 --> 01:03:25,717
Hey. Jack's back. Ha-ha.
862
01:03:57,291 --> 01:04:00,877
Tell Mr. Patchett that I have no intention
of changing my vote.
863
01:04:12,473 --> 01:04:17,310
It may surprise some that a man in office
would admit to making a mistake ...
864
01:04:18,145 --> 01:04:20,564
but after due consideration ...
865
01:04:21,148 --> 01:04:24,401
I am changing my position
on the matter before the council.
866
01:04:26,195 --> 01:04:29,531
"Go west, America,"
was the slogan of Manifest Destiny.
867
01:04:29,740 --> 01:04:33,535
Today is that last step westward
with no stop signs ...
868
01:04:33,703 --> 01:04:37,706
no traffic signals,
from downtown to the beach in 20 minutes.
869
01:05:09,113 --> 01:05:11,114
What were you gonna start with?
870
01:05:13,367 --> 01:05:14,868
Prostitution?
871
01:05:16,621 --> 01:05:17,954
Gambling?
872
01:05:21,292 --> 01:05:25,462
Go back to Jersey, sonny.
This is the City of the Angels ...
873
01:05:25,630 --> 01:05:27,797
and you haven't got any wings.
874
01:05:50,655 --> 01:05:52,989
Nice to see you again.
Take care.
875
01:06:30,319 --> 01:06:33,530
I wondered when you might
knock on my door again, Officer White.
876
01:06:34,198 --> 01:06:35,532
It's Bud.
877
01:06:36,951 --> 01:06:38,118
Bud.
878
01:07:07,481 --> 01:07:08,565
Why me?
879
01:07:10,651 --> 01:07:11,901
I don't know.
880
01:07:48,522 --> 01:07:49,773
This election ...
881
01:07:49,982 --> 01:07:53,276
is about the future
of law enforcement in Los Angeles.
882
01:07:53,444 --> 01:07:56,488
City Councilman Rogers
represents that future.
883
01:07:56,864 --> 01:07:58,573
So let's dig deep ...
884
01:07:58,741 --> 01:08:02,577
and let's get a moral man re-elected.
Ellis Loew would like a few words.
885
01:08:05,998 --> 01:08:09,751
Thank you. Thank you, Brett Chase,
the very talented star of "Badge of Honor".
886
01:08:12,046 --> 01:08:16,216
Let me tell you, I am so thrilled to be here
on the set of "Badge of Honor".
887
01:08:16,383 --> 01:08:18,635
Big V. Jackie.
888
01:08:19,887 --> 01:08:21,596
Good to see you back.
889
01:08:21,806 --> 01:08:24,557
- How they hanging, Sid?
- Down around my ankles.
890
01:08:24,809 --> 01:08:27,811
- You tight with the DA, Jackie?
- Oh, yeah. Yeah.
891
01:08:27,978 --> 01:08:30,438
He tried to throw me off the force
last Christmas.
892
01:08:30,606 --> 01:08:32,315
How about some payback, big-time-?
893
01:08:32,483 --> 01:08:36,694
Plus the usual $50 donation
to the Jack Vincennes retirement fund.
894
01:08:36,862 --> 01:08:40,824
- Did you know the DA was a swish?
- No kidding.
895
01:08:41,367 --> 01:08:42,992
Uh ...
896
01:08:43,369 --> 01:08:46,538
Remember Matt Reynolds? Christmas Eve?
"The Movie Premiere Pot Bust"?
897
01:08:46,705 --> 01:08:49,374
- He just got off the honor farm.
- What's he doing here?
898
01:08:50,251 --> 01:08:52,836
Reynolds is acey-deucey,
not to mention broke.
899
01:08:53,003 --> 01:08:55,296
I'm getting him
to fuck the DA for 100 bucks.
900
01:08:55,464 --> 01:08:58,508
That's twice the 50
you got for wrecking his career.
901
01:08:59,218 --> 01:09:02,762
- Hey, Matt. Come here, come here.
- Jesus, don't bring him --
902
01:09:07,685 --> 01:09:09,352
That's DA Loew right there.
903
01:09:11,730 --> 01:09:13,273
Yeah.
904
01:09:14,608 --> 01:09:15,900
You need a drink, kid?
905
01:09:16,777 --> 01:09:20,071
- Yeah.
- Jack, look after him a minute.
906
01:09:20,239 --> 01:09:24,200
Matt, this is Jack.
No secrets between me and him.
907
01:09:29,456 --> 01:09:31,875
- How you doing?
- Oh, I'm okay. How are you?
908
01:09:32,042 --> 01:09:34,294
I'm good. Yeah.
909
01:09:36,297 --> 01:09:38,131
Have we, uh, met before?
910
01:09:40,467 --> 01:09:41,718
Yeah.
911
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:46,222
- Was it at a party?
- Well, it was something like that.
912
01:09:47,808 --> 01:09:49,434
Fleur-de-Lis party, right?
913
01:09:50,728 --> 01:09:51,895
Right.
914
01:09:52,563 --> 01:09:54,063
Fleur-de-Lis.
915
01:09:54,648 --> 01:09:56,649
"Whatever you desire."
916
01:09:56,901 --> 01:09:59,569
Dope, hookers that
look like movie stars ...
917
01:09:59,987 --> 01:10:02,655
-Pierce Patchett has it all.
-Ha-ha-ha.
918
01:10:02,823 --> 01:10:04,699
Boy, you could say that again.
919
01:10:04,909 --> 01:10:10,496
Pierce, he's not like regular guys.
I mean, I dig him, but ...
920
01:10:11,999 --> 01:10:15,585
you know, he, um, scares me too.
921
01:10:16,337 --> 01:10:18,922
Really? How?
922
01:10:20,007 --> 01:10:24,969
When I came out to L.A., this isn't
exactly where I saw myself ending up.
923
01:10:26,263 --> 01:10:28,932
Yeah, well, get in line.
924
01:10:29,433 --> 01:10:31,517
That's courage, kid. Drink up.
925
01:10:35,814 --> 01:10:38,483
You know, I don't think I should do this.
926
01:10:39,026 --> 01:10:40,735
It's not like you don't know how.
927
01:10:40,903 --> 01:10:43,738
And Jack here's got connections
with "Badge of Honor".
928
01:10:43,906 --> 01:10:45,990
You pull this off,
there'll be a part for you.
929
01:10:46,158 --> 01:10:49,160
I smell a comeback, don't you, Jack?
930
01:10:51,789 --> 01:10:55,875
Go on. The DA's free.
Go introduce yourself. Go on.
931
01:10:56,293 --> 01:10:58,962
Talk to him, Jack.
Tell him about the opening on the show.
932
01:10:59,129 --> 01:11:02,382
Oh, yeah. I'm pretty sure I can get you
a part on this show.
933
01:11:02,633 --> 01:11:04,592
But, uh, that's later on.
934
01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:09,264
You know, tonight, just go on over there
and pretend it's an acting job.
935
01:11:09,431 --> 01:11:12,392
- Like show biz.
- Acting, that's it.
936
01:11:12,559 --> 01:11:13,643
- Right.
- Yeah.
937
01:11:13,811 --> 01:11:16,521
- No one's gonna know about this, right?
- No.
938
01:11:18,732 --> 01:11:20,400
It'll be our secret.
939
01:11:22,611 --> 01:11:24,988
Okay. All right.
940
01:11:25,155 --> 01:11:27,615
- Show biz.
- That's it. Go on.
941
01:11:31,078 --> 01:11:34,372
Show biz. Man.
942
01:11:34,748 --> 01:11:37,208
If Reynolds works his charms,
which I know he will ...
943
01:11:37,376 --> 01:11:40,169
they'll be at the
Hollywood Center Motel, Room 203.
944
01:11:40,337 --> 01:11:42,463
Meet me there at midnight
for a photo shoot.
945
01:11:43,590 --> 01:11:46,759
Maybe we can work in
the Hollywood sign this time.
946
01:11:48,262 --> 01:11:50,763
What do you know
about Pierce Patchett?
947
01:11:51,432 --> 01:11:54,100
Patchett? I know what you know.
He's very rich.
948
01:11:54,268 --> 01:11:57,520
Just invested in freeway construction,
which is gonna make him richer.
949
01:11:57,855 --> 01:11:58,938
Why do you ask?
950
01:11:59,106 --> 01:12:01,232
I just keep hearing rumors, you know.
951
01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:04,652
High-class porn, drugs,
hookers that look like movie stars.
952
01:12:05,112 --> 01:12:09,615
Ha. Patchett's what I call twilight.
He ain't queer and he ain't red.
953
01:12:09,783 --> 01:12:13,494
He cannot help me
in my quest for prime "sinnuendo."
954
01:12:18,917 --> 01:12:23,087
As though "Badge of Honor" would
touch that guy with a 10-foot pole ...
955
01:12:23,255 --> 01:12:26,382
after he's been Hush-Hush
cover boy twice in one year.
956
01:12:26,550 --> 01:12:27,842
See you in a few hours, Sid.
957
01:12:28,010 --> 01:12:32,096
Yeah, midnight. I guarantee
all kinds of illegal activity.
958
01:13:05,297 --> 01:13:07,298
- Another, Jack?
- Yeah.
959
01:13:51,844 --> 01:13:53,428
Kid?
960
01:13:59,143 --> 01:14:00,309
Matt?
961
01:14:00,853 --> 01:14:04,063
Come on, kid, you don't have to do the --
962
01:14:35,345 --> 01:14:37,263
Thank you for what you did for me ...
963
01:14:37,764 --> 01:14:40,391
for killing those animals
who raped me.
964
01:14:40,726 --> 01:14:43,436
Will you thank Officer White
for me, please?
965
01:14:43,729 --> 01:14:44,770
Sure.
966
01:14:46,482 --> 01:14:50,234
Seeing him come through the door
is about the only thing I remember.
967
01:14:50,444 --> 01:14:51,611
Thank God.
968
01:14:52,863 --> 01:14:55,406
You remember what time
the Negroes left you, right?
969
01:14:55,741 --> 01:14:58,910
In your statement, you said
they left you at midnight.
970
01:14:59,119 --> 01:15:00,244
They might have.
971
01:15:05,792 --> 01:15:09,212
- What do you mean, they might have?
- I don't know what time they left me.
972
01:15:09,379 --> 01:15:11,088
I wanted them dead.
973
01:15:11,423 --> 01:15:14,926
Would anyone care that they
raped a Mexican girl ...
974
01:15:15,093 --> 01:15:18,137
if they hadn't killed
those white people at the Nite Owl?
975
01:15:19,097 --> 01:15:21,390
I did what I had to do for justice.
976
01:15:21,558 --> 01:15:24,936
Inez? Exley, over here. Smile, Inez.
977
01:15:25,854 --> 01:15:28,272
So is he your hero, Miss Soto?
978
01:15:28,982 --> 01:15:33,444
Fellas, how about this? "Rape Victim
Wheeled out of Hospital by Nite Owl Hero."
979
01:15:35,781 --> 01:15:37,281
Hey.
980
01:15:39,117 --> 01:15:41,327
All they get is Veronica Lake.
981
01:15:43,497 --> 01:15:45,831
I get Lynn Margaret Bracken.
982
01:15:56,969 --> 01:15:58,052
Bisbee?
983
01:15:59,012 --> 01:16:00,137
Mm-hm.
984
01:16:00,305 --> 01:16:01,847
I grew up there.
985
01:16:03,976 --> 01:16:08,479
I'm going back in a couple of years,
open up a dress shop.
986
01:16:10,482 --> 01:16:13,359
The girls in Bisbee
need a little glamour.
987
01:16:19,199 --> 01:16:21,576
Where'd this come from?
988
01:16:22,536 --> 01:16:26,581
When I was 12, my old man went after
my mother with a bottle. I got in the way.
989
01:16:28,542 --> 01:16:30,167
So you saved her.
990
01:16:31,545 --> 01:16:32,962
Not for long.
991
01:16:36,008 --> 01:16:39,302
- I'm sorry. It's none of my business.
- He tied me to the radiator.
992
01:16:40,053 --> 01:16:43,222
I watched him beat my mother to death
with a tire iron ...
993
01:16:45,684 --> 01:16:47,852
and he left me there.
994
01:16:49,938 --> 01:16:52,732
Three days before
a truant officer found us.
995
01:16:55,861 --> 01:16:57,737
They never found the old man.
996
01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:09,081
Is that why you became a cop?
997
01:17:09,875 --> 01:17:11,250
To get even?
998
01:17:12,711 --> 01:17:14,045
Maybe.
999
01:17:15,922 --> 01:17:17,923
Do you like it?
1000
01:17:20,886 --> 01:17:22,678
I used to.
1001
01:17:24,222 --> 01:17:26,932
Now it's all strong-arm,
sitting-duck stuff.
1002
01:17:27,934 --> 01:17:29,268
I mean, if I could ...
1003
01:17:30,562 --> 01:17:33,064
If I could get a chance
to work Homicide ...
1004
01:17:33,440 --> 01:17:36,275
like a real detective ...
1005
01:17:36,735 --> 01:17:39,278
That prick Exley,
he shot the wrong guys.
1006
01:17:40,113 --> 01:17:44,867
Whoever killed Stensland's still around.
I know it in here. I know it.
1007
01:17:45,327 --> 01:17:47,244
There's something wrong
with the Nite Owl.
1008
01:17:47,579 --> 01:17:49,747
I just can't prove it, that's all.
1009
01:17:50,957 --> 01:17:52,917
I'm not smart enough.
1010
01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:58,089
I'm just the guy they bring in
to scare the other guy shitless.
1011
01:18:01,468 --> 01:18:02,927
You're wrong.
1012
01:18:03,762 --> 01:18:06,305
You found Patchett. You found me.
1013
01:18:06,682 --> 01:18:08,474
You're smart enough.
1014
01:18:20,153 --> 01:18:23,739
Bud White. What brings you down
to the basement?
1015
01:18:26,993 --> 01:18:29,036
I got a couple of Nite Owl questions.
1016
01:18:29,204 --> 01:18:32,289
Don't know if you read the papers,
but that case is closed.
1017
01:18:34,292 --> 01:18:36,127
Anything bother you about it, Ray?
1018
01:18:36,837 --> 01:18:40,506
The fact that the pack-up boys haven't
hauled this shit out of here yet.
1019
01:18:45,303 --> 01:18:47,513
We got three shotguns
taken from the suspects ...
1020
01:18:47,681 --> 01:18:50,307
which match the strike marks
on the shell casings.
1021
01:18:50,475 --> 01:18:52,143
What more do you want?
1022
01:19:03,864 --> 01:19:05,698
There's blood on the wall here.
1023
01:19:06,366 --> 01:19:08,826
I thought everyone got shot
in the men's room.
1024
01:19:09,035 --> 01:19:11,495
That is Stensland's blood.
1025
01:19:12,038 --> 01:19:13,539
Stensland?
1026
01:19:13,707 --> 01:19:17,460
Blow to the head. Probably unconscious
when they dragged him in the john.
1027
01:19:19,171 --> 01:19:20,421
Did they hit anyone else?
1028
01:19:20,589 --> 01:19:24,008
No, but he was a cop.
He probably tried to do something.
1029
01:19:27,888 --> 01:19:31,474
Grilled cheese, black coffee.
Someone sitting next to him.
1030
01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:37,188
Two of the victims were women?
1031
01:19:37,355 --> 01:19:41,484
Yeah, Patti DeLuca, the night shift
waitress, and a Susan Lefferts.
1032
01:19:46,072 --> 01:19:47,865
Susan Lefferts.
1033
01:19:49,701 --> 01:19:51,702
Yeah, what about her?
1034
01:19:54,164 --> 01:19:55,539
You're welcome.
1035
01:19:57,834 --> 01:19:59,919
Mrs. Lefferts.
1036
01:20:01,546 --> 01:20:05,508
Mrs. Lefferts?
I'm Officer White, L.A.P.D.
1037
01:20:07,761 --> 01:20:11,222
Tell me about the boyfriend. The one
you mentioned at the coroner's office.
1038
01:20:11,431 --> 01:20:13,808
I told you I didn't
approve of that boyfriend.
1039
01:20:14,392 --> 01:20:18,771
He was too old for you.
And you let him be fresh with me.
1040
01:20:20,565 --> 01:20:23,025
They came here one day
when I wasn't home.
1041
01:20:23,401 --> 01:20:25,319
Mrs. Jensen next door said ...
1042
01:20:25,487 --> 01:20:28,531
she thought she saw Susie's boyfriend
and another man ...
1043
01:20:28,698 --> 01:20:31,075
and she heard a ruckus.
1044
01:20:31,952 --> 01:20:35,788
- What was the boyfriend's name?
- We weren't properly introduced.
1045
01:20:36,414 --> 01:20:38,749
Susie gave him a nickname,
"Muns" or "Luns."
1046
01:20:38,917 --> 01:20:41,502
Stens? Was it Stens?
1047
01:20:41,670 --> 01:20:46,257
- Maybe. I don't know.
- Look at a picture for me.
1048
01:20:48,969 --> 01:20:51,595
That's him. That's him.
1049
01:20:56,977 --> 01:20:59,144
You said a neighbor heard a ruckus.
1050
01:20:59,938 --> 01:21:01,981
Was it outside? inside?
1051
01:21:03,275 --> 01:21:04,441
Outside.
1052
01:21:04,609 --> 01:21:08,696
And then Mrs. Jensen said
they kept going under the house.
1053
01:21:12,784 --> 01:21:15,119
You have to leave now, officer.
1054
01:21:16,329 --> 01:21:19,790
- What's through here?
- Just a room full of old things.
1055
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:21,959
Don't move that.
1056
01:21:23,336 --> 01:21:24,378
Phew.
1057
01:21:24,546 --> 01:21:28,007
Don't mind the smell.
I think a rat died behind the wall.
1058
01:21:29,301 --> 01:21:31,468
My Susie was a good girl.
1059
01:21:31,636 --> 01:21:34,638
She was never
in any kind of trouble at all.
1060
01:21:37,767 --> 01:21:38,809
Phew.
1061
01:22:45,877 --> 01:22:48,337
"Leland Meeks."
Never heard of you.
1062
01:22:48,546 --> 01:22:50,089
They call me Buzz.
1063
01:22:57,305 --> 01:22:58,389
Was it a rat?
1064
01:22:59,265 --> 01:23:01,100
Yeah, a great big one.
1065
01:23:03,561 --> 01:23:07,356
Here. Compliments of the
Los Angeles Police Department.
1066
01:23:24,582 --> 01:23:27,543
Stomach of the week
from a motel homicide.
1067
01:23:27,752 --> 01:23:31,171
Unemployed actor had frankfurter,
french fries, alcohol and sperm.
1068
01:23:31,339 --> 01:23:33,799
Hell of a last supper,
don't you think, lieutenant?
1069
01:23:33,967 --> 01:23:36,593
Anything bothering you
about the, uh, Nite Owl case?
1070
01:23:36,761 --> 01:23:39,430
Yeah, the fact that you guys
won't let it get filed away.
1071
01:23:40,598 --> 01:23:44,268
- What do you mean?
- Bud White grilled me on it this morning.
1072
01:23:45,311 --> 01:23:49,273
- Bud White?
- You know, he's not as dumb as I thought.
1073
01:23:51,484 --> 01:23:54,278
Did he say where he was going
after he talked to you?
1074
01:24:06,666 --> 01:24:08,500
Let my daughter rest in peace.
1075
01:24:08,710 --> 01:24:10,919
Mrs. Lefferts,
I just wanna ask a few questions.
1076
01:24:11,087 --> 01:24:13,464
Officer White already checked
under the house.
1077
01:24:14,049 --> 01:24:15,132
Under the house?
1078
01:24:15,884 --> 01:24:18,218
- Where?
- Out back.
1079
01:24:19,637 --> 01:24:21,305
All he found was rodents.
1080
01:24:24,642 --> 01:24:28,562
I need an ID on this as soon as possible.
You talk only to me on this one.
1081
01:24:31,649 --> 01:24:33,609
Vincennes, I need your help
with something.
1082
01:24:33,777 --> 01:24:37,821
I'm busy right now. Why don't you
just go ask some of your boys in Homicide?
1083
01:24:40,075 --> 01:24:42,743
I can't. I need someone
outside of Homicide.
1084
01:24:43,369 --> 01:24:46,288
I want you to tail Bud White
till he goes on duty this evening.
1085
01:24:47,749 --> 01:24:50,000
Do me a real favor
and leave me alone.
1086
01:24:51,127 --> 01:24:53,462
Do you make the Negroes
for the Nite Owl killings?
1087
01:24:56,758 --> 01:24:59,343
- What?
- It's a simple question.
1088
01:25:01,429 --> 01:25:04,348
Why in the world
do you wanna go digging any deeper ...
1089
01:25:04,516 --> 01:25:07,976
into the Nite Owl killings, lieutenant?
1090
01:25:11,815 --> 01:25:13,524
Rollo Tomasi.
1091
01:25:15,276 --> 01:25:18,362
Is there more to that,
or am I supposed to guess?
1092
01:25:20,448 --> 01:25:22,616
Rollo was a purse snatcher.
1093
01:25:27,038 --> 01:25:29,123
My father ran into him off-duty ...
1094
01:25:31,126 --> 01:25:34,211
and he shot my father six times
and got away clean.
1095
01:25:35,713 --> 01:25:37,464
No one even knew who he was.
1096
01:25:38,299 --> 01:25:40,384
I made the name up
to give him personality.
1097
01:25:42,220 --> 01:25:43,345
What's your point?
1098
01:25:43,972 --> 01:25:46,723
Rollo Tomasi's the reason
I became a cop.
1099
01:25:47,475 --> 01:25:51,019
I wanted to catch the guys
who thought they could get away with it.
1100
01:25:52,438 --> 01:25:54,231
It was supposed to be about justice.
1101
01:25:55,233 --> 01:25:58,235
Then somewhere along the way,
I lost sight of that.
1102
01:26:02,407 --> 01:26:03,657
Why'd you become a cop?
1103
01:26:09,414 --> 01:26:10,914
Huh.
1104
01:26:14,419 --> 01:26:16,461
I don't remember.
1105
01:26:22,677 --> 01:26:26,388
- What do you want, Exley?
- I just wanna solve this thing.
1106
01:26:26,931 --> 01:26:30,267
- Nite Owl was solved.
- No.
1107
01:26:31,519 --> 01:26:32,853
I wanna do it right.
1108
01:26:33,521 --> 01:26:35,939
Even if it means
paying the consequences?
1109
01:26:36,482 --> 01:26:37,524
Mm-hm.
1110
01:26:39,360 --> 01:26:41,445
All right, college boy, I'll help ...
1111
01:26:41,613 --> 01:26:44,448
but there's a case your boys
in Homicide don't care about.
1112
01:26:44,616 --> 01:26:49,411
They think it's just another
Hollywood "homo-cide," but I don't.
1113
01:26:49,579 --> 01:26:52,706
You help me with mine,
I'll help you with yours.
1114
01:26:53,124 --> 01:26:55,959
- Deal?
- Deal.
1115
01:27:28,451 --> 01:27:30,535
Johnny Stompanato.
1116
01:27:31,704 --> 01:27:34,581
Officer Wendell White.
How's tricks, paisano?
1117
01:27:34,791 --> 01:27:36,458
I ain't your paisano.
1118
01:27:37,210 --> 01:27:39,336
I ain't in the snitch business anymore.
1119
01:27:39,504 --> 01:27:41,797
You know a guy named Buzz Meeks?
1120
01:27:42,882 --> 01:27:44,716
Works for Pierce Patchett.
1121
01:27:45,301 --> 01:27:46,468
Should I?
1122
01:27:47,887 --> 01:27:50,764
You're muscle for hire.
Meeks is muscle for hire.
1123
01:27:50,974 --> 01:27:52,307
You tell me.
1124
01:27:53,351 --> 01:27:55,727
Oh, yeah. Yeah, I remember now.
1125
01:27:55,895 --> 01:28:00,023
Meeks is a run-down ex-cop.
Same as you're gonna be someday.
1126
01:28:00,233 --> 01:28:01,692
And that's all you're gonna get.
1127
01:28:02,568 --> 01:28:04,403
And you can keep your 20 bucks.
1128
01:28:09,909 --> 01:28:13,328
What do I get if I give you your
balls back, you wop cocksucker?
1129
01:28:14,289 --> 01:28:17,499
Okay. Okay.
1130
01:28:17,667 --> 01:28:20,043
There was a rumor going around ...
1131
01:28:20,253 --> 01:28:23,380
that Meeks had a line
on a large supply of H.
1132
01:28:25,425 --> 01:28:30,387
- And?
- And nothing. He skipped out.
1133
01:28:42,775 --> 01:28:43,942
Bullshit.
1134
01:28:44,902 --> 01:28:48,071
How would Meeks get his hands
on a large supply of heroin?
1135
01:28:48,906 --> 01:28:52,242
You're right.
It's probably bullshit.
1136
01:28:52,452 --> 01:28:54,953
Even if he did,
he could never unload it.
1137
01:28:55,246 --> 01:28:57,748
Not without drawing
all kinds of attention.
1138
01:28:58,291 --> 01:29:02,294
Maybe that's why he's under a house in
Elysian Park and he don't smell too good ...
1139
01:29:03,796 --> 01:29:05,130
paisano.
1140
01:29:57,558 --> 01:30:00,102
Maybe White's
not so dumb after all.
1141
01:30:13,324 --> 01:30:17,327
We got Rita Hayworth at the morgue,
and now Veronica Lake with White.
1142
01:30:17,870 --> 01:30:22,207
I think your case and my case
are connected. It's Fleur-de-Lis again.
1143
01:30:22,375 --> 01:30:23,542
Fleur-de-Lis?
1144
01:30:23,876 --> 01:30:26,169
Yeah. "Whatever you desire."
1145
01:30:26,379 --> 01:30:27,504
Porno.
1146
01:30:27,839 --> 01:30:30,674
High-class whores
cut to look like movie stars.
1147
01:30:30,883 --> 01:30:34,511
Who knows what else. Reynolds,
the kid that got killed, was involved.
1148
01:30:34,720 --> 01:30:36,346
So is Pierce Patchett.
1149
01:30:36,556 --> 01:30:37,848
The millionaire?
1150
01:30:38,349 --> 01:30:40,350
Yeah, I think we should go talk to him.
1151
01:30:41,185 --> 01:30:43,186
First I wanna brace Stompanato.
1152
01:30:59,454 --> 01:31:01,913
Want an autograph?
Write to MGM.
1153
01:31:02,748 --> 01:31:06,042
Since when do two-bit hoods
and hookers give out autographs?
1154
01:31:06,419 --> 01:31:09,004
- What did you say to me?
- L.A.P.D. Sit down.
1155
01:31:09,213 --> 01:31:10,839
Who the hell do you think you are?
1156
01:31:11,007 --> 01:31:13,717
Take a walk, honey,
before I haul your ass downtown.
1157
01:31:13,885 --> 01:31:16,678
- You are making a large mistake.
- Get away from our table.
1158
01:31:16,888 --> 01:31:18,221
Shut up.
1159
01:31:19,307 --> 01:31:21,641
A hooker cut to look like Turner
is still a hooker.
1160
01:31:21,809 --> 01:31:24,186
- Hey!
- She just looks like Lana Turner.
1161
01:31:24,353 --> 01:31:26,897
- She is Lana Turner.
- What?
1162
01:31:27,064 --> 01:31:29,149
She is Lana Turner.
1163
01:31:37,783 --> 01:31:39,618
How was I supposed to know?
1164
01:31:55,968 --> 01:31:59,763
I believe the Nite Owl's
your area of expertise, Mr. Exley.
1165
01:31:59,931 --> 01:32:02,474
I saw you on television
getting your medal.
1166
01:32:03,976 --> 01:32:05,268
And you're ...
1167
01:32:05,645 --> 01:32:09,481
that other Hollywood
celebrity policeman, aren't you?
1168
01:32:10,441 --> 01:32:14,444
The Veronica Lake look-alike works
for you. She's one of your whores, correct?
1169
01:32:15,780 --> 01:32:18,949
- A vulgar term.
- Why's she seeing Bud White?
1170
01:32:19,116 --> 01:32:22,953
Why do men and women
usually see each other, Mr. Exley?
1171
01:32:25,831 --> 01:32:28,542
Let's try this on for size:
Fleur-de-Lis.
1172
01:32:29,001 --> 01:32:30,794
"Whatever you desire."
1173
01:32:31,462 --> 01:32:34,422
An actor named Matt Reynolds.
1174
01:32:36,300 --> 01:32:38,426
No? Nothing?
1175
01:32:39,011 --> 01:32:42,138
- No?
- We want some answers, Patchett.
1176
01:32:44,809 --> 01:32:46,685
We all want something.
1177
01:32:48,312 --> 01:32:50,981
- Lieutenant Exley, come in.
- Guy's as cool as they come.
1178
01:32:53,526 --> 01:32:56,361
Lieutenant Exley,
come in, please. Over.
1179
01:32:57,530 --> 01:32:58,572
This is Exley.
1180
01:32:58,739 --> 01:33:01,491
The coroner wants to talk to you.
He says he has your ID.
1181
01:33:02,034 --> 01:33:04,619
Tell him Sergeant Vincennes
is coming in to talk to him.
1182
01:33:04,787 --> 01:33:06,663
- Roger.
- I'll drop you at your car.
1183
01:33:06,831 --> 01:33:09,040
- Where the hell are you going?
- Lynn Bracken's.
1184
01:33:09,333 --> 01:33:12,836
I'm gonna find out why Patchett
has her seeing Bud White.
1185
01:33:13,004 --> 01:33:14,671
See you at the Frolic Room.
1186
01:33:14,839 --> 01:33:18,091
Oh, great. You get the girl,
I get the coroner.
1187
01:33:28,060 --> 01:33:31,104
Hush-Hush, off the record
and on the q.t.
1188
01:33:33,941 --> 01:33:37,444
Hey, I was just coming up to see you.
You get that ID?
1189
01:33:37,612 --> 01:33:42,032
Thank God for dental records.
Stiff used to be a cop. Leland Meeks.
1190
01:33:42,199 --> 01:33:43,366
Buzz Meeks?
1191
01:33:43,534 --> 01:33:44,701
- You knew him?
- Of him.
1192
01:33:44,910 --> 01:33:48,496
He was around when I joined the force.
Bad rep. Thanks.
1193
01:33:48,664 --> 01:33:52,542
Hey. "Just the facts," Jack.
"Just the facts."
1194
01:33:55,880 --> 01:33:57,005
Anything else, sergeant?
1195
01:33:57,214 --> 01:34:00,383
Leland Meeks worked Vice '39 -'41.
I need to see his arrest records.
1196
01:34:00,551 --> 01:34:02,719
Okay.
1197
01:34:08,267 --> 01:34:10,894
Miss Bracken,
I'm Lieutenant Exley.
1198
01:34:11,103 --> 01:34:14,856
I know who you are.
Bud told me all about you.
1199
01:34:15,024 --> 01:34:16,900
Is that so?
1200
01:34:17,193 --> 01:34:19,903
And what did White have to say?
1201
01:34:20,780 --> 01:34:22,739
He said you were smart.
1202
01:34:23,407 --> 01:34:27,243
He also said you were a coward, and that
you'd screw yourself to get ahead.
1203
01:34:27,912 --> 01:34:30,413
Well, let's concentrate on my smarts.
1204
01:34:30,581 --> 01:34:35,418
Pierce Patchett made you, didn't he?
Taught you how to dress, talk and think.
1205
01:34:36,587 --> 01:34:38,421
I am very impressed
with the results ...
1206
01:34:39,757 --> 01:34:41,216
but I need answers.
1207
01:34:41,384 --> 01:34:44,427
And if I don't get them,
I'm gonna take you and Patchett down.
1208
01:34:45,096 --> 01:34:47,764
Pierce Patchett
can take care of himself.
1209
01:34:48,808 --> 01:34:50,767
And I'm not afraid of you.
1210
01:34:51,644 --> 01:34:54,312
And you forget one thing, lieutenant ...
1211
01:34:54,647 --> 01:34:57,273
Pierce also taught me how to fuck.
1212
01:35:00,986 --> 01:35:05,281
And he tells you who to fuck.
Why does he have you fucking Bud White?
1213
01:35:05,491 --> 01:35:08,159
What makes you think I'm not seeing Bud
because I want to?
1214
01:35:10,329 --> 01:35:13,665
It would be easier for you
if there was an angle, wouldn't it?
1215
01:35:14,458 --> 01:35:17,544
You're afraid of Bud because you can't
figure out how to play him.
1216
01:35:18,629 --> 01:35:21,840
He doesn't follow
the same rules of politics as you do.
1217
01:35:22,633 --> 01:35:24,426
It makes him dangerous.
1218
01:35:24,635 --> 01:35:27,303
- I can handle Bud White.
- Can you?
1219
01:35:31,308 --> 01:35:33,518
I see Bud because I want to.
1220
01:35:37,022 --> 01:35:40,358
I see Bud because
he can't hide the good inside of him.
1221
01:35:42,194 --> 01:35:44,946
I see Bud because he makes me feel
like Lynn Bracken ...
1222
01:35:45,156 --> 01:35:48,533
and not some Veronica Lake look-alike
who fucks for money.
1223
01:35:50,703 --> 01:35:54,998
I see Bud because he doesn't
know how to disguise who he is.
1224
01:35:57,042 --> 01:36:00,670
I see Bud for all the ways
he's different from you.
1225
01:36:03,048 --> 01:36:05,341
Don't underestimate me, Miss Bracken.
1226
01:36:05,676 --> 01:36:08,678
The way you've underestimated Bud White?
1227
01:36:15,186 --> 01:36:17,854
Fucking me and fucking Bud
aren't the same thing, you know.
1228
01:36:18,355 --> 01:36:20,356
Stop talking about Bud White.
1229
01:36:45,257 --> 01:36:47,217
Come on.
1230
01:36:49,929 --> 01:36:51,221
Shit.
1231
01:37:04,610 --> 01:37:06,277
Jack Vincennes.
1232
01:37:07,279 --> 01:37:09,030
It's going on midnight, Jack.
1233
01:37:09,198 --> 01:37:11,115
I need two minutes, Dudley.
1234
01:37:11,450 --> 01:37:12,659
It's important.
1235
01:37:13,285 --> 01:37:17,580
Good thing for you my wife and daughters
are at the beach in Santa Barbara.
1236
01:37:20,709 --> 01:37:25,880
- Do you remember Buzz Meeks, Dudley?
- A disgrace as a police officer.
1237
01:37:26,090 --> 01:37:30,260
Straight D fitness reports from every
CO he ever served under. What about him?
1238
01:37:30,970 --> 01:37:33,888
Twelve years ago, he was on a Vice roust
with Dick Stensland.
1239
01:37:34,098 --> 01:37:37,392
They questioned Pierce Patchett
about a blackmail scam.
1240
01:37:37,601 --> 01:37:41,771
Patchett had Sid Hudgens photographing
prominent businessmen with hookers.
1241
01:37:42,481 --> 01:37:45,441
Anyway, charges were dropped.
Insufficient evidence.
1242
01:37:45,651 --> 01:37:47,777
You were the supervising officer
on that case.
1243
01:37:47,945 --> 01:37:50,196
I was wondering if you
remember anything about it.
1244
01:37:51,448 --> 01:37:52,949
What's this all about, boyo?
1245
01:37:53,909 --> 01:37:57,453
Part of it has to do with a murder.
I've been working with Ed Exley on it.
1246
01:37:57,830 --> 01:38:00,456
You're Narco, Jack, not Homicide.
1247
01:38:00,666 --> 01:38:02,876
Since when do you work
with Edmund Exley?
1248
01:38:04,003 --> 01:38:06,462
It's a private investigation.
1249
01:38:06,964 --> 01:38:08,214
Ah.
1250
01:38:08,465 --> 01:38:10,967
I messed something up.
I'm trying to make amends.
1251
01:38:11,135 --> 01:38:13,511
Don't start trying
to do the right thing, boyo.
1252
01:38:14,013 --> 01:38:16,306
You haven't had the practice.
1253
01:38:22,521 --> 01:38:27,108
Buzz Meeks and Dick Stensland. Hmm.
1254
01:38:28,652 --> 01:38:31,905
So, what does Exley make of this?
1255
01:38:32,072 --> 01:38:35,158
I haven't told him yet.
I just came from the records room.
1256
01:39:00,851 --> 01:39:03,144
Have you a valediction, boyo?
1257
01:39:09,401 --> 01:39:11,027
Rollo ...
1258
01:39:12,071 --> 01:39:13,738
Tomasi.
1259
01:39:34,593 --> 01:39:38,179
Sergeant Vincennes was killed
by a .32 slug to the heart.
1260
01:39:38,389 --> 01:39:40,765
Time of death, approximately 1 a.m.
1261
01:39:41,350 --> 01:39:45,937
Although he was found in Echo Park,
forensics indicates the body was moved.
1262
01:39:47,564 --> 01:39:51,025
I want two-man teams
to scour that entire neighborhood.
1263
01:39:51,902 --> 01:39:56,114
Our justice must be swift
and merciless.
1264
01:39:58,283 --> 01:39:59,325
That is all.
1265
01:40:07,876 --> 01:40:10,753
Edmund, might I have a word with you?
1266
01:40:14,258 --> 01:40:17,260
We're trying to run down a lead
on an associate of Vincennes.
1267
01:40:17,469 --> 01:40:20,304
The records check has led to a dead end.
1268
01:40:20,597 --> 01:40:21,806
What's the name?
1269
01:40:22,099 --> 01:40:23,850
Rollo Tomasi.
1270
01:40:25,602 --> 01:40:27,603
You ever heard Vincennes mention him?
1271
01:40:30,441 --> 01:40:32,150
No. No, I haven't.
1272
01:40:35,654 --> 01:40:36,654
Well ...
1273
01:40:36,822 --> 01:40:38,823
It's probably nothing. Still ...
1274
01:40:39,950 --> 01:40:42,660
keep your eyes open, eh, boyo?
1275
01:40:52,337 --> 01:40:54,964
I know it's unlikely, but suppose,
just for a moment ...
1276
01:40:55,174 --> 01:40:58,593
somebody did have that much heroin,
who would they go to to move it?
1277
01:40:59,136 --> 01:41:04,015
- White, in my office.
- Captain. Look, just give me a name.
1278
01:41:04,808 --> 01:41:06,184
Mickey Cohen.
1279
01:41:12,149 --> 01:41:13,149
Captain?
1280
01:41:13,317 --> 01:41:15,985
I could use your fearsome habits
at the Victory Motel.
1281
01:41:17,321 --> 01:41:18,571
Uh, when?
1282
01:41:19,823 --> 01:41:20,907
Now, Wendell.
1283
01:41:21,992 --> 01:41:23,201
Right.
1284
01:41:23,368 --> 01:41:24,869
Close the door, lad.
1285
01:41:32,377 --> 01:41:35,213
You're a bit of a puzzlement to me
these days, Wendell.
1286
01:41:35,589 --> 01:41:37,840
You don't seem to be
your old cruel self anymore.
1287
01:41:38,509 --> 01:41:41,469
And I had such
grand plans for your future.
1288
01:41:41,678 --> 01:41:42,887
What plans?
1289
01:41:44,348 --> 01:41:48,351
You have your extracurricular activities
and I have mine.
1290
01:41:51,396 --> 01:41:54,482
We must have a clarification session
one of these days.
1291
01:41:55,567 --> 01:41:58,694
However, right now ...
1292
01:41:59,196 --> 01:42:02,406
we're gonna brace a man
who may know who killed Jack Vincennes.
1293
01:42:02,741 --> 01:42:04,534
So the question is ...
1294
01:42:04,868 --> 01:42:06,369
can I count on you, lad?
1295
01:42:06,537 --> 01:42:08,454
- Yes or no?
- Yes, sir.
1296
01:42:13,544 --> 01:42:17,255
I wanna know everything you
and Jack Vincennes talked about last night.
1297
01:42:17,548 --> 01:42:19,549
Start with the ID on the corpse.
1298
01:42:19,758 --> 01:42:23,052
An ex-cop.
Leland "Buzz" Meeks.
1299
01:42:23,262 --> 01:42:24,595
An ex-cop?
1300
01:42:25,055 --> 01:42:26,681
What did Jack say?
Did he know him?
1301
01:42:27,224 --> 01:42:29,308
Only by reputation.
1302
01:42:35,482 --> 01:42:37,692
Wendell, this is Sid Hudgens.
1303
01:42:37,901 --> 01:42:40,528
I'm willing to cooperate.
There's no need to tie me down.
1304
01:42:40,737 --> 01:42:42,446
It's for your own safety.
1305
01:42:43,448 --> 01:42:46,951
Now, what can you tell us
about Sergeant Jack Vincennes?
1306
01:42:47,119 --> 01:42:49,120
Hollywood Jack? The Big V?
1307
01:42:49,413 --> 01:42:52,373
I can tell you he's on
the night train to the big adiós.
1308
01:42:56,545 --> 01:43:00,131
I didn't have anything to do with him
getting killed, if that's what you mean.
1309
01:43:00,424 --> 01:43:04,343
- But you were business associates.
- What's that got to do with anything?
1310
01:43:05,596 --> 01:43:08,431
Okay, okay, so we worked together.
1311
01:43:08,891 --> 01:43:10,933
It was an information exchange.
1312
01:43:11,143 --> 01:43:13,644
I got him first-class collars,
he got me good stories.
1313
01:43:13,812 --> 01:43:15,605
We were friends, for chrissake.
1314
01:43:15,772 --> 01:43:17,273
We'll drop that for the moment.
1315
01:43:17,774 --> 01:43:19,609
Care to comment on Pierce Patchett?
1316
01:43:19,776 --> 01:43:23,196
Patchett? You think he had something
to do with Vincennes getting iced?
1317
01:43:23,363 --> 01:43:28,409
Wendell, I'd like full and docile cooperation
on every topic.
1318
01:43:28,577 --> 01:43:31,078
Okay, okay, okay. All right.
1319
01:43:32,623 --> 01:43:35,541
Everybody knows that Patchett's
worth a boatload of greenbacks.
1320
01:43:35,959 --> 01:43:37,835
But the man has hobbies too.
1321
01:43:38,045 --> 01:43:40,630
He bankrolls B-movies under the table.
1322
01:43:41,048 --> 01:43:42,673
And try this one on:
1323
01:43:42,883 --> 01:43:45,134
He's rumored to be a periodic
heroin sniffer.
1324
01:43:45,302 --> 01:43:48,387
All in all, a powerful
behind-the-scenes strange-o.
1325
01:43:48,555 --> 01:43:50,556
- And?
- And what?
1326
01:43:54,645 --> 01:43:58,439
Reciprocity, Mr. Hudgens, is
the key to every relationship.
1327
01:44:01,568 --> 01:44:03,152
He runs call girls.
1328
01:44:05,072 --> 01:44:08,157
Primo tail fixed up
to look like movie stars.
1329
01:44:10,911 --> 01:44:13,663
- And?
- Blackmail shit.
1330
01:44:13,830 --> 01:44:17,541
In my car, in the trunk,
under the rug ...
1331
01:44:17,834 --> 01:44:22,129
Patchett got me to photograph this cop
screwing this gorgeous slut named Lynn.
1332
01:44:22,297 --> 01:44:24,423
Looks just like Veronica Lake.
1333
01:44:24,591 --> 01:44:28,678
Wendell. Wendell. Leave him be.
I said, leave him be.
1334
01:44:28,845 --> 01:44:32,431
- Get him off me. Get him away from me.
- Back off, Wendell. Back off.
1335
01:45:16,643 --> 01:45:21,564
I wouldn't trade places with Edmund Exley
right now for all the whiskey in Ireland.
1336
01:45:22,482 --> 01:45:23,524
Dudley.
1337
01:45:25,652 --> 01:45:29,113
Dudley, I thought you were gonna
let the dumb bastard kill me.
1338
01:45:29,281 --> 01:45:32,450
And you, learn to pull your punches
a little better.
1339
01:45:32,659 --> 01:45:34,744
You can uncuff me now, fellas.
1340
01:45:40,375 --> 01:45:42,043
Fellas ...
1341
01:45:42,210 --> 01:45:44,545
Dudley, we had a deal.
1342
01:45:44,713 --> 01:45:46,380
You, me and Patchett, we're a team.
1343
01:45:51,428 --> 01:45:52,762
Hush-hush.
1344
01:45:53,930 --> 01:45:55,931
- Anything?
- Nothing.
1345
01:45:56,099 --> 01:45:58,934
Meeks never made an arrest
the entire time he worked Vice?
1346
01:45:59,102 --> 01:46:01,103
Someone must've pulled the files.
1347
01:46:03,690 --> 01:46:05,608
What about the daily report books?
1348
01:46:05,776 --> 01:46:07,610
They'd be buried in the basement.
1349
01:46:07,778 --> 01:46:09,028
Find them.
1350
01:46:40,018 --> 01:46:41,602
Did you talk to Exley?
1351
01:46:42,104 --> 01:46:43,854
Come in out of the rain.
1352
01:46:45,857 --> 01:46:47,942
I wanna know
what happened with Exley.
1353
01:46:49,694 --> 01:46:51,028
Just come in.
1354
01:46:52,406 --> 01:46:54,990
Are you gonna tell me
what happened with you and Exley?
1355
01:46:55,617 --> 01:46:56,951
We talked.
1356
01:46:57,536 --> 01:46:59,620
- So tell me about him.
- Later.
1357
01:46:59,788 --> 01:47:02,748
No! Now.
1358
01:47:05,293 --> 01:47:11,966
You fucked him.
1359
01:47:12,717 --> 01:47:14,760
I thought I was helping you.
1360
01:48:05,770 --> 01:48:08,063
Bud, I'm glad you're here.
I need you to see this.
1361
01:48:17,616 --> 01:48:18,657
Wait.
1362
01:48:45,477 --> 01:48:47,019
Dudley killed Jack.
1363
01:48:47,646 --> 01:48:49,480
He wants you to kill me.
1364
01:48:52,567 --> 01:48:54,568
He showed you the photo, didn't he?
1365
01:48:55,403 --> 01:48:56,445
Didn't he?
1366
01:48:59,074 --> 01:49:02,535
Think. Goddamn you, think!
1367
01:49:03,787 --> 01:49:05,955
Get the fuck out of here.
1368
01:49:18,593 --> 01:49:19,969
Dudley.
1369
01:49:21,346 --> 01:49:23,514
I checked the daily report books.
1370
01:49:24,683 --> 01:49:28,143
Dudley, Buzz Meeks
and Stensland go way back.
1371
01:49:31,690 --> 01:49:33,607
I knew Stensland lied to me.
1372
01:49:36,611 --> 01:49:39,697
Lefferts' mother ID'd
Stensland as Lefferts' boyfriend.
1373
01:49:41,449 --> 01:49:46,036
Stensland pretended he didn't know
Meeks or her the night that I met ...
1374
01:49:47,372 --> 01:49:48,831
Lynn.
1375
01:49:49,457 --> 01:49:51,041
Stensland and Meeks ...
1376
01:49:51,543 --> 01:49:53,210
what the hell were they up to?
1377
01:49:54,004 --> 01:49:57,423
I don't know, but I think
Stens killed Meeks over heroin.
1378
01:49:57,882 --> 01:49:59,008
What heroin?
1379
01:50:04,973 --> 01:50:08,559
Johnny Stompanato told me
that Meeks had heroin for sale.
1380
01:50:08,893 --> 01:50:10,561
Meeks ends up dead.
1381
01:50:11,062 --> 01:50:13,188
Stensland dies at the Nite Owl.
1382
01:50:14,149 --> 01:50:15,899
It wasn't the Negroes.
1383
01:50:16,901 --> 01:50:18,861
The rape victim lied
in her statement.
1384
01:50:19,404 --> 01:50:23,032
The first guys to the Mercury coupe
were Breuning and Carlisle.
1385
01:50:23,241 --> 01:50:24,742
Dudley's guys.
1386
01:50:25,160 --> 01:50:26,952
They planted the shotguns.
1387
01:50:27,162 --> 01:50:30,497
And they'd have killed the Negroes, too,
if Jack and I hadn't shown up.
1388
01:50:31,499 --> 01:50:34,668
Dudley framed them because
they were Negroes and had records.
1389
01:50:35,003 --> 01:50:37,588
He knew there'd be no questions asked ...
1390
01:50:39,007 --> 01:50:41,383
if they were killed resisting arrest.
1391
01:50:42,427 --> 01:50:44,803
Somehow this is all connected
to Jack's angle.
1392
01:50:45,430 --> 01:50:47,264
Sid Hudgens ...
1393
01:50:47,432 --> 01:50:49,600
the pictures
to blackmail Ellis Loew ...
1394
01:50:50,685 --> 01:50:52,353
A kid got murdered.
1395
01:50:53,021 --> 01:50:56,065
If we're gonna figure this out,
we need to work together.
1396
01:51:00,945 --> 01:51:02,613
Why are you doing this?
1397
01:51:04,616 --> 01:51:06,450
The Nite Owl made you.
1398
01:51:08,286 --> 01:51:09,912
You wanna tear all that down?
1399
01:51:11,539 --> 01:51:13,290
With a wrecking ball.
1400
01:51:13,792 --> 01:51:15,626
You wanna help me swing it?
1401
01:51:27,931 --> 01:51:29,932
Let's go see Ellis Loew.
1402
01:51:30,475 --> 01:51:33,227
Find out what
the district attorney knows.
1403
01:51:38,441 --> 01:51:39,692
May I --?
1404
01:51:39,859 --> 01:51:42,903
Hey. You can't go in there.
1405
01:51:45,156 --> 01:51:46,907
Want me to call the police, Mr. Loew?
1406
01:51:47,075 --> 01:51:48,409
Ask for Captain Dudley Smith.
1407
01:51:48,576 --> 01:51:52,371
Tell him we're having a discussion
about the death of an actor at a motel.
1408
01:51:52,580 --> 01:51:53,706
These are the police.
1409
01:52:00,422 --> 01:52:01,630
What do you want?
1410
01:52:01,840 --> 01:52:06,135
I want DA bureau men to tail Dudley
Smith and Patchett 24 hours a day.
1411
01:52:06,302 --> 01:52:09,805
I want you to get a judge to authorize
wiretaps on their home phones.
1412
01:52:10,014 --> 01:52:12,307
I want authorization
to check their bank records.
1413
01:52:12,851 --> 01:52:14,309
On what evidence?
1414
01:52:14,853 --> 01:52:16,520
Call it a hunch.
1415
01:52:17,772 --> 01:52:19,481
Absolutely not.
1416
01:52:19,691 --> 01:52:22,651
Dudley Smith is a highly decorated
member of this department.
1417
01:52:22,861 --> 01:52:25,070
I'm not gonna smear his
and Patchett's name --
1418
01:52:25,238 --> 01:52:26,488
Without what?
1419
01:52:26,865 --> 01:52:28,949
Them smearing yours first?
1420
01:52:29,117 --> 01:52:32,661
What do they have? Pictures of you
and Matt Reynolds with your pants down?
1421
01:52:35,039 --> 01:52:36,123
You have any proof?
1422
01:52:36,791 --> 01:52:38,500
The proof had his throat slit.
1423
01:52:39,878 --> 01:52:42,045
So far, you're not denying it.
1424
01:52:43,381 --> 01:52:45,340
I'm not gonna dignify this with answers.
1425
01:52:45,550 --> 01:52:48,010
Now, if you gentlemen will excuse me ...
1426
01:52:48,219 --> 01:52:52,055
I have a press conference for Jack
Vincennes that I have to prepare for.
1427
01:53:02,734 --> 01:53:07,196
Unless you came in to wipe my ass,
I believe we're through.
1428
01:53:11,242 --> 01:53:16,205
Don't pull that good-cop-bad-cop crap.
I practically invented it.
1429
01:53:16,372 --> 01:53:18,665
So what if some homo actor is dead.
1430
01:53:18,833 --> 01:53:21,585
Boys, girls, 10 of them
get off the bus to L.A. every day.
1431
01:53:29,761 --> 01:53:33,305
- Pull him off me, Exley!
- I don't know how.
1432
01:53:36,184 --> 01:53:39,770
I know you think you're the A-number-one
hotshot, but here's the juice.
1433
01:53:39,938 --> 01:53:42,731
If I take you out, 10 lawyers
will take your place tomorrow.
1434
01:53:42,899 --> 01:53:44,441
They just won't come on a bus.
1435
01:53:58,706 --> 01:54:00,624
All right! Okay!
1436
01:54:01,042 --> 01:54:05,295
Dudley and Patchett, they --
Oh, my God.
1437
01:54:05,755 --> 01:54:09,800
I wouldn't play ball, so they set me up.
I gave in, but the kid heard everything ...
1438
01:54:11,636 --> 01:54:13,679
so they killed him.
- Why?
1439
01:54:13,847 --> 01:54:17,266
- What are Dudley and Patchett up to?
- Taking over Mickey Cohen's rackets.
1440
01:54:17,725 --> 01:54:21,937
Because of those pictures,
I couldn't prosecute them.
1441
01:54:22,105 --> 01:54:24,314
Oh, Jesus. Help me up.
1442
01:54:33,616 --> 01:54:36,618
Is that how you used to run
the good-cop-bad-cop?
1443
01:54:38,413 --> 01:54:40,789
Patchett?
1444
01:55:15,074 --> 01:55:18,493
Looks like his bodyguard
had a conflict of interest.
1445
01:55:24,167 --> 01:55:25,500
Suicide note.
1446
01:55:25,668 --> 01:55:30,297
Says he killed Jack because Jack
had figured out a pornography scam.
1447
01:55:30,465 --> 01:55:32,257
Slicing himself open wasn't his idea.
1448
01:55:34,010 --> 01:55:37,763
- Two of his fingers are broken.
- They must have held him there.
1449
01:55:38,848 --> 01:55:40,766
Or drugged him.
1450
01:55:43,186 --> 01:55:45,687
I'd say Dudley's tying up his loose ends.
1451
01:55:45,855 --> 01:55:48,941
Patchett's dead.
He sent you after me.
1452
01:55:50,693 --> 01:55:51,985
Lynn.
1453
01:55:52,904 --> 01:55:53,946
West Hollywood.
1454
01:55:54,113 --> 01:55:57,199
- They're closer than we are.
- I'll get the car. Keys.
1455
01:56:03,957 --> 01:56:07,376
Hey. We took her to the station
for safekeeping.
1456
01:56:08,378 --> 01:56:11,630
Hold her as Joan Smith.
And no one sees her unless I okay it.
1457
01:56:12,715 --> 01:56:16,718
Somebody worked her over.
She wouldn't say who.
1458
01:56:21,557 --> 01:56:22,891
- See you, Exley.
- Sure.
1459
01:56:26,312 --> 01:56:30,190
- We should talk to Lynn.
- You do it.
1460
01:56:30,441 --> 01:56:31,525
What are you gonna do?
1461
01:56:35,071 --> 01:56:37,531
I'm gonna talk to Sid Hudgens.
1462
01:56:37,699 --> 01:56:40,617
Compliment him on his
performance at the Victory Motel.
1463
01:56:40,785 --> 01:56:45,163
- Remember, Bud, we need evidence.
- I'll get the evidence.
1464
01:56:58,052 --> 01:57:00,053
Are you okay?
1465
01:57:01,764 --> 01:57:03,765
You okay?
1466
01:57:13,443 --> 01:57:15,110
Bud hates himself for what he did.
1467
01:57:16,654 --> 01:57:18,405
I know how he feels.
1468
01:57:21,075 --> 01:57:23,577
I need to know what you
can give me on Dudley Smith.
1469
01:57:25,955 --> 01:57:28,957
He's a police captain.
He's in business with Patchett.
1470
01:57:29,125 --> 01:57:30,417
I've never heard of him.
1471
01:57:34,922 --> 01:57:37,382
Do you have someplace you can stay?
1472
01:57:38,134 --> 01:57:40,052
I'll be okay.
1473
01:57:46,350 --> 01:57:48,977
Nobody goes in without official ID.
1474
01:57:53,316 --> 01:57:55,567
He's okay. Let him through.
1475
01:57:58,696 --> 01:58:00,405
What happened?
1476
01:58:00,573 --> 01:58:03,450
Somebody beat him to death
and stole a bunch of files.
1477
01:58:03,618 --> 01:58:05,994
Must have dug up garbage
on the wrong guy.
1478
01:58:06,162 --> 01:58:08,997
We got it narrowed down
to 1,000 suspects.
1479
01:58:09,165 --> 01:58:11,500
Sergeant White ...
1480
01:58:11,667 --> 01:58:13,168
Dispatch got a call for you.
1481
01:58:13,336 --> 01:58:16,838
Lieutenant Exley wants you
to meet him at the Victory Motel.
1482
01:58:50,456 --> 01:58:52,541
You wanted to meet here?
1483
01:58:54,127 --> 01:58:57,754
- You called it. I thought Hudgens was --
- Hudgens is dead.
1484
01:59:08,683 --> 01:59:10,684
Let's get out of here.
1485
01:59:17,608 --> 01:59:19,317
It's too late.
1486
02:00:08,534 --> 02:00:10,952
You figured this was a setup
and showed up anyway?
1487
02:00:11,120 --> 02:00:13,288
A lot of bad stuff happened here.
1488
02:00:13,456 --> 02:00:16,374
It's as good a place
as any for it to end.
1489
02:00:25,551 --> 02:00:27,344
Here. Clip.
1490
02:00:32,016 --> 02:00:35,560
All I ever wanted was to
measure up to my father.
1491
02:00:35,978 --> 02:00:37,771
Now's your chance.
1492
02:00:39,565 --> 02:00:42,192
He died in the line of duty, didn't he?
1493
02:01:41,377 --> 02:01:42,502
Bud.
1494
02:02:40,686 --> 02:02:42,145
Goddamn it!
1495
02:03:42,456 --> 02:03:45,667
- You okay?
- Yeah.
1496
02:04:03,853 --> 02:04:05,770
Come on. Easy. Come on.
1497
02:04:12,611 --> 02:04:14,195
Move!
1498
02:04:36,135 --> 02:04:37,302
Rollo Tomasi.
1499
02:04:41,140 --> 02:04:44,058
- Who is he?
- You are.
1500
02:04:46,687 --> 02:04:49,230
You're the guy who gets away with it.
1501
02:04:52,526 --> 02:04:54,986
Jack knew it and so do I.
1502
02:05:21,096 --> 02:05:25,975
Are you gonna shoot me
or arrest me?
1503
02:05:31,315 --> 02:05:32,357
Good lad.
1504
02:05:33,442 --> 02:05:35,109
Always the politician.
1505
02:05:36,028 --> 02:05:38,279
Let me do the talking.
1506
02:05:38,447 --> 02:05:42,408
After I'm done,
they'll make you chief of detectives.
1507
02:06:09,353 --> 02:06:13,856
Hold up your badge
so they'll know you're a policeman.
1508
02:07:03,866 --> 02:07:07,160
You think you can talk
your way out of this, lieutenant?
1509
02:07:09,288 --> 02:07:10,580
No ...
1510
02:07:10,748 --> 02:07:13,082
but I think I can tell the truth.
1511
02:07:13,250 --> 02:07:15,835
During our investigation ...
1512
02:07:16,253 --> 02:07:19,881
of events surrounding
the Nite Owl case ...
1513
02:07:20,507 --> 02:07:23,635
Jack Vincennes, Bud White
and I learned the following.
1514
02:07:24,637 --> 02:07:27,096
Your golden boy's
throwing his whole life away.
1515
02:07:27,264 --> 02:07:29,682
The three Nite Owl suspects ...
1516
02:07:29,850 --> 02:07:32,810
while guilty of
kidnapping and rape ...
1517
02:07:33,103 --> 02:07:36,606
were innocent of the
multiple homicides at the Nite Owl.
1518
02:07:37,399 --> 02:07:39,359
The actual gunmen were most likely ...
1519
02:07:39,526 --> 02:07:44,405
Los Angeles Police Department officers
Michael Breuning and William Carlisle ...
1520
02:07:44,573 --> 02:07:46,574
and a third man ...
1521
02:07:46,825 --> 02:07:50,745
who may or may not have been
Captain Dudley Smith.
1522
02:07:51,497 --> 02:07:53,247
The objective:
1523
02:07:53,957 --> 02:07:56,501
The elimination
of another police officer ...
1524
02:07:56,669 --> 02:07:58,920
Richard Stensland ...
1525
02:07:59,505 --> 02:08:05,426
who, along with former L.A.P.D.
Officer Leland "Buzz" Meeks ...
1526
02:08:05,594 --> 02:08:09,764
also committed multiple homicides
on behalf of Captain Smith ...
1527
02:08:09,932 --> 02:08:13,768
and then betrayed him
over 25 pounds of heroin ...
1528
02:08:15,020 --> 02:08:17,105
the retrieval of which ...
1529
02:08:17,272 --> 02:08:20,775
was the ultimate motivation
behind the Nite Owl killings.
1530
02:08:23,487 --> 02:08:27,115
Beginning with the incarceration
of Mickey Cohen ...
1531
02:08:27,282 --> 02:08:32,745
Captain Smith has been assuming control
of organized crime in Los Angeles.
1532
02:08:32,913 --> 02:08:34,622
This includes the assassinations ...
1533
02:08:34,790 --> 02:08:37,458
of an unknown number
of Mickey Cohen lieutenants ...
1534
02:08:38,419 --> 02:08:41,879
the systematic blackmail
of city officials ...
1535
02:08:43,090 --> 02:08:47,969
and the murders of Susan Lefferts,
Pierce Patchett, Sid Hudgens ...
1536
02:08:48,971 --> 02:08:51,597
and Sergeant Jack Vincennes.
1537
02:08:54,309 --> 02:08:56,978
Captain Smith admitted as much to me ...
1538
02:08:57,771 --> 02:09:02,233
before I shot him
at the Victory Motel.
1539
02:09:04,111 --> 02:09:05,945
That's it.
1540
02:09:07,656 --> 02:09:09,699
Well ...
1541
02:09:10,117 --> 02:09:11,951
the press is gonna have
a field day.
1542
02:09:13,871 --> 02:09:17,790
This -- Christ, it'll stain the department
for years.
1543
02:09:17,958 --> 02:09:19,834
Decades.
1544
02:09:20,335 --> 02:09:23,254
If we can get the kid to play ball ...
1545
02:09:23,964 --> 02:09:26,132
who's to say what happened?
1546
02:09:26,842 --> 02:09:29,343
Maybe Dudley Smith died a hero.
1547
02:09:29,511 --> 02:09:31,846
- Good idea.
- If we get the press to play.
1548
02:09:39,813 --> 02:09:43,274
You wanna tell me what
you're smiling about?
1549
02:09:48,155 --> 02:09:49,280
A hero.
1550
02:09:50,032 --> 02:09:52,033
How'd he know what
we're talking about?
1551
02:09:52,201 --> 02:09:54,118
He couldn't have heard us.
1552
02:09:56,163 --> 02:09:57,205
And?
1553
02:09:57,372 --> 02:09:59,540
In this situation ...
1554
02:09:59,708 --> 02:10:02,043
you'll need more than one.
1555
02:10:08,300 --> 02:10:11,385
It is with great pleasure
that I present this award ...
1556
02:10:11,553 --> 02:10:13,471
to Detective Lieutenant
Edmund Exley ...
1557
02:10:14,056 --> 02:10:17,266
two-time Medal of Valor recipient.
1558
02:10:26,151 --> 02:10:30,404
Next year, the L.A.P.D.
will move into its new facility.
1559
02:10:30,572 --> 02:10:32,323
With leaders like Edmund Exley ...
1560
02:10:32,491 --> 02:10:35,827
the image of fat cops stealing apples
will be left behind ...
1561
02:10:35,994 --> 02:10:39,497
and Los Angeles will finally
have the police force it deserves.
1562
02:10:53,679 --> 02:10:55,596
You just couldn't resist.
1563
02:10:56,056 --> 02:10:58,349
They're using me,
so for a while, I'm using them.
1564
02:11:00,602 --> 02:11:01,978
Come on.
1565
02:11:20,873 --> 02:11:22,540
Hey.
1566
02:11:36,680 --> 02:11:38,890
Thanks for the push.
1567
02:11:48,483 --> 02:11:49,942
Yeah.
1568
02:11:59,453 --> 02:12:02,163
Congratulations, Lieutenant Exley.
1569
02:12:05,125 --> 02:12:07,460
Some men get the world ...
1570
02:12:07,628 --> 02:12:11,005
others get ex-hookers
and a trip to Arizona.
1571
02:12:22,893 --> 02:12:26,687
- Bye.
- Bye.
