Original subtitles

Look, hang on.

Look, uh, Hobson Street and, uh, Linmore.

Club 7.

Money is not the point. Having the tickets is the point because that is

job. Because I asked you to do it a month ago. Yes, I did. I will not argue

ancient history with you. The important thing is I do not have them. But at 2 o

'clock Sunday when Dikembe Stetson could get off, I will have them or you will

not have a job.

What kind of name is that, Olshansky? Where's the old country?

Bridgetown. Yeah, I bet.

Three generations of immigrant mutt, right?

Been drinking tonight, pal?

I can tell about people instantly. It's a gift.

What's the line from that old movie? There's eight million stories in the

city. I swear I know them all.

You live in Manayunk, right?

The white cabby thing throws me, though.

It must be the second job.

Day shift, August construction. You got hands like catcher's mitts.

Two jobs mean four kids, but...

You're not that old, so she must have got pregnant in high school.

And you, you did the right thing, because you're a good Polish Catholic

Decent, faithful, honest.

You bought the whole bill of goods to the nun soldier, but now here it is.

Twenty years later, you got, what, ten behind the wheel of a cab already?

Probably only ten more before the chest pains start.

Now you're starting to think, what the hell did I get myself into?

You must be psychic.

Oh, yeah, I know all eight million.

All right, right here.

Here, uh, let me take your email.

Stop the car, damn it!

I know where the club is.

Better than you do.

Can I keep the pen for a cab home?

Okay.

Can I keep my bus pass?

Pick his ass up.

Here.

Right there.

Wait, wait.

What do you want to do that for?

Because that'll lick your head.

Nobody call a cab?

No, man. Nobody call a cab.

Well, you got one.

Keep his money if you want.

Leave his face alone.

Put that cobblestone back in the street where you found it. We got enough

potholes already.

What, you think you're going to bring it?

You know what I'm going to do?

I'm going to mess up your face.

Then I'm going to mess up your car.

And then, just for fun.

You distracted my car.

That is the lamest street rap I ever heard in my life.

Yo,

catch you guys later.

It must be eight million and one stories, pal.

Because you sure as hell don't know mine.

Ten after five, Olshansky. Car comes in at... I would ask you, it's fair today,

driver? At an airport.

What am I supposed to do?

I would ask you, it's fair today, driver? Car comes in at ten after five.

He ain't even here yet. Why do you want to sweat me? He's not even here.

Think he's not full?

Oh, the hell it isn't.

Don't blame me for the quarter panel.

Can't pull that in a couple days. Yeah, yeah.

Hey,

look -a -like.

Why don't you, uh...

I'll give you a break and a rental, will you? I'll give you a break.

110, best price for you, my friend, space.

Oh, come on.

At the lease of gas, I got 94 bucks here. I can do 250, 275 gross. I'm still

pulling minimum wage.

But you drive too slow.

What? Is what people say is what I hear.

Olshansky drive with feather foot.

No, I drive like a maniac.

Give me a decent ride.

Stepping on my tip. New cars for all drivers. You don't like, you drive for

order somebody, Mr.

Sergeant Captain, sir.

Up until a month ago, I was a son of a bitch out there.

I like the over of Staley's shoulders. I was a machine.

159 drug buys in 18 months.

Processed me like I was a freaking perp. Put me on ninth floor of criminal

justice. And you know who they saved that for?

I don't even want to tell you. I was humiliated.

Yeah, well, what the hell?

20 over 38 now.

Are you listening to me?

Mike, I've seen this episode.

20 on the over, write it down this time.

No modified duty.

No pension.

Goodbye.

Average 400 hours of overtime.

And I took a bullet in the shoulder for this city.

Yeah?

What else you think?

Let me tell you something, Chris.

There is a code.

Yeah. Maybe it ain't written down, but it's real.

If you get shot at, if your ass is on the line, if you walk into combat

situations, you got a right to a little hazard pay once in a while.

As long as it doesn't come out of the city or some upright's pocket, you got

coming.

If you... If you walk into

a bust, and there's 40 grand on the table, And only 32 gets turned in.

Well, that just ain't the end of the world.

Guess I ain't didn't know about the code.

Count my uncles.

The six of the finest in the family.

Yeah.

You're the one stepped out alive.

I'm the one I got caught.

Right through.

Where do you want to go, pal?

Yeah, I... I forgot the name of the hotel.

I think... I think... Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Easy there, Tex.

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

The, uh... The Westbury. They said it was on 17th and North.

So where are you from?

Manitowish.

Western PA.

You sure you're okay?

Yes.

You could tell me if you weren't. This is my first time in Philadelphia. Is it

common for cabbies to interrogate their passengers?

Won't say.

Another word.

It's us.

It's my daughter.

She lives here?

I don't know.

Maybe. I hope.

Runaway? That's what the police say. She just turned 18.

But she's young.

She's a little girl still. What happened?

She wanted to be a model.

What makes you think she's here?

Her friend told me, apparently, Susan.

That's my daughter.

Her friend said that Susan's been exchanging e -mails with someone she met

online.

He's been writing her for over a year, you know, filling her up with crazy

ideas, promises, God knows what.

She's so naive.

Here, look at her. Hey, I need you to sit back there a minute.

Sorry.

I don't want you to get hurt, that's all.

I understand.

Let me see that.

He's beautiful.

Good luck to you.

This guy that was writing, you got a, uh, name?

Address? No.

Phone number?

Uh -uh.

Well,

try calling the Administration for Children's Services.

I'll give you a name. I know a woman there, a smart lady.

And if she can't help, try the Youth Development Office or the Philly Youth

Line. You mean these places?

Yeah, thank you.

Wait.

Oh, no, that's too much. No, no, no, please.

My situation is this. I don't know a soul in this city.

So maybe if I had a question, I could call you.

I'll pay.

My name is Paul Goodman.

Nice to meet you. My wife is Lauren. We have three other children.

Susan is the oldest. Don't do that. Wait, please, wait a minute.

You're the one who started asking questions, and now when you start

answers, you want to go backwards? I need your help.

This is my child. You do anything for your kids, don't you?

Even if it means looking like a fool.

I'm just

a cat.

Mike. Come on.

Come on.

What?

What, what? Hop in. Come on. I'll give you a ride.

Yeah. Bye.

See you guys later.

The front.

This is where you ride in the cab, isn't it?

That's basketball.

That Daniel kid, he still giving you grief?

Michael, what if a few words kill you?

David. What?

David. My name is David.

Your middle name is David, and you hate it. I like it now.

Hey, this thing happened to me last night.

This guy's in my cab, right? Real jerk.

And he wants to get dropped in this bad area.

And I leave him.

And he's about to get his clock cleaned when I come back and I save his ass.

For about 30 seconds there, I felt like I was still a cop.

Well, you aren't.

What? He didn't say goodbye.

He just bolted out of the car, didn't say goodbye. That ain't right.

Just because things are a little different now doesn't mean Michael can

He wants you to call him, Dave.

Yeah, yeah, I saw it on the news. Will you let me in? I want to talk to my kid.

David, say goodbye to your father.

Goodbye. That ain't good enough. What do you want from him? Manners.

For God's sake, Hattie, will you let me... You've got me standing on a porch

my own house. People are staring. Would you...

Oh.

Oh.

What are you... Trying to set a land speed record? Okay, you know what? This

isn't really a good time.

No, you can sleep easy. One thing I'm not having is a good time.

Hey, wait a minute.

You didn't.

Michael!

accept any guilt to this.

What else you got?

God bless Donovan McNabb.

Oh.

What are you doing? You want to grab one of Bernie's? No, it's a confession.

You've been to Bernie's.

Good morning.

Good morning, Father.

Did that come out as loud as it sounded? Oh, good God. You don't have to say

mass or anything, do you?

Look, Mike, I want to say something that's been bugging me. The truth is,

been worried about you.

What are you, punching in?

I don't want to laugh it off.

The fact is, you screwed up, Mike.

It wasn't funny this time. You're charming, you're devilish.

You're not 18 anymore. Well, thank you for the information.

You brought disgrace to yourself and your family. Drop it.

And now you must atone. I'm serious, man. Shut up. Because there is a savable

part of you, even though you've been kicking the hell out of it for as long

can remember, even though it's hiding in a corner someplace with its hands over

its crotch.

Chris. Save it. Hey, hey, hey!

This is me.

I'm not some hopeless housewife who just crawled into your booth crying her eyes

out because you banged the next door neighbor. I'm your friend.

Don't try to fix my life. It needs fixing.

You're in pain.

You need to do something. No, I need to drive.

I need to make a buck. I need to pay the rent. I need to go to sleep. And then I

need to do it again.

Period.

It's way out.

It's called change.

Just go sleep it off.

Even a cab doesn't drive itself. You have to ask at the time. As a matter of

fact, why don't you just go to hell?

Sneak up on person from Chechnya. Give me the car again.

You hate car.

It's day shift. Go home.

Give me a different car.

I want to pull a double.

We're going to play practice.

Shut up.

We're in the sound of music.

Like he cares.

God, are you queer?

Do you want me to sing the song I sing?

Oh my God.

I am 16 going on 17.

I know that I'm naive.

Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet and willingly I believe.

I am 16 going on 17.

Your problem?

Yes I could look into that for you

What about other friends?

Anybody else she talks to? I called them all.

Cousins? Favorite aunt?

Tried that.

Well, what about her mother?

Maybe she knows something and promised not to tell you.

Lauren would never conceal a thing like that from me.

How bad was your relationship with your daughter?

Extremely healthy.

I told you that. Okay.

Now tell me the truth.

What are you implying?

Actually, I'm not implying. I'm inferring.

I am a Lutheran minister with a congregation of 900, and I would thank

keep your insinuations and suppositions to yourself.

Professional habit.

My mind always jumps to the worst.

Truth is that 90 % of runaways are not running to something.

They're running from it.

Were you violent with her?

Sexual? I already answered that question. No, you haven't. Yes, I have.

touched that girl, didn't you? Eat up!

I will not! Hear that question from you again. It is enough.

Now, you are a filthy degenerate, sir, and there is a special place in the next

world for people like you. Believe me, there is...

So

it was rage, wasn't it?

It wasn't sexual at all, the abuse.

It was words.

Is that it?

Sometimes I speak.

Too bluntly.

What did you say to her?

Things I would take back.

If only I could find her.

When I picked you up at the train station and put your luggage in the

kept a shoulder bag with you in the car.

Seemed like a laptop, right?

Yeah. Your daughter ever use that computer?

It's just this ridiculous screen name. Why won't he tell her his real name?

Because he's smart.

Yeah,

this is Special Agent Calvin Higgins with the Office of Homeland Security.

My credential number is 2706.

I need the legal name on one of your accounts. The AKA is screen name Blue

41. B -L -U -E -M -A -N -4 -1.

Oh, I apologize. You must not have heard the name of the organization that I'm

working for.

No, I heard. I just... So you do read the newspaper, occasionally catch a

CNN, which means you're aware of the challenge facing our country right now?

I can get the information.

I'm just... No, what you're saying is you can't give it to me now when I need

it. Later, when I don't need it, when it's too late, you're saying then you

give it to me.

And you're saying what's going on in the world, all these terrible things that

are happening. Well, there's just nothing that you as an individual can do

that, and you accept that.

What is your name, sir?

Okay, Mr. Ginley, I'd like to... No, that's the guy.

The name on the account.

Ginley. G -I -N -L -E -Y.

Wonderful. Good.

Now I just need the billing address.

Can you say your badge number once again?

Your country thanks you.

Sir, I... I'm very uncomfortable with the way you did that.

Yeah, that happens.

You get over it.

Where are you going?

I'm going to go call in a favor.

What?

I had a hunch about you. Yeah? Lose the grin. You look like a hick.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah, that feeling.

You think you're gonna go ass over tea kettle?

What the hell are you doing here? Oh, that's how I feel all the time.

Any other guys see you?

No, Pittman said he didn't.

How you been, man?

Who's going to call you today?

Is that right?

No.

No.

Outside.

I need a street address and a record for Carl Gimley.

What for?

Helping a guy with a thing.

Are you a private eye now?

It'll take you ten minutes, Mr. Ellis. Well, what do you care?

I don't. I'm just doing it.

Why? So God will stop venting his righteous anger on me. What do you want

me? Run the name. I gotta get to work.

Nice jacket.

Is that new?

What are you talking about?

Satisfied? Come on, what are you really after?

An address and a record pull.

You know the kind of trouble you could get in just for being here?

Am I the one you're worried about? Your life is screwed up enough already. Don't

piss on it anymore, Mike. Why should I? I have to tell you.

Look, Mike, I would have done the same for you. Yeah, I have no doubt. I've

absolutely thick about it. All right, okay.

You want the four grand? No, God no.

I haven't touched it. I can't even bring myself to look at it.

So give it away.

Well, I'm not stupid.

What happened to you when half of that stack went into my pocket? I deserved

what I got.

You didn't roll over.

That counts, Mike.

That counts a lot.

Surrender name.

It was so important you couldn't say it on the phone.

He lives in the city.

North Philly.

Good.

What's that in your hand? A mugshot.

He's got a record.

Three years ago, Carl Gimley was arrested for sexual assault.

Where do you think you're going?

2 -2 -3 -2 -6 North Broad Street, apartment 3F. What are you going to do

you get there?

Taxi! Huh?

Taxi!

You think I'll invite you in for a donut?

I will force my way in if circumstances warrant it.

Taxi! You don't bust through a door until you know exactly what's on the

side. Is she even there?

Are they on drugs?

Is she being held against her will? Is she there because she wants to be?

Is she happy to see you, or is she pissed off?

Makes a big difference. When and how, what you know, what you're walking into.

This is what I do.

What I used to do.

I have my encryption.

Kinley.

Oh, man, I'm so sorry.

I'm so... My bad, my bad. All right, all right.

Just watch where you're going.

Ketamine, what's that?

Veterinary tranquilizer. Big in the clubs.

We see ODs all the time.

It's a date rape drug.

Wait, wait, wait. Where are you going? We gotta go in there. You bet your ass

do. We're not naked.

How much cash you got?

Anything you want, I got.

But you can use it as a paperweight.

I'm going back to bed, Osansky. You want it or not.

How do you like the city so far?

You

must

be joking.

You want me to go in with a screwdriver?

No.

Well, I can't carry it. I'm under felony indictment.

You what?

Long story.

Bottom one stay open.

And put your collar up.

There's no safety on that gun.

Rufus breaks them up for himself.

So don't put your finger on the trigger unless you're going to squeeze it.

How are you?

Recommended hour propounded on doors.

All right, this is what you came for, good man.

You ready for it?

Fingers on the top right, top left department button. Don't push till I

to.

One, three.

Got it?

One, two, three.

I'll do that. Sure.

And if you tell anybody, I'm going to kick your ass.

If I say would.

You came all this way for me to knock?

Wrong door.

For Gindi, no? Si.

E se puoi te pensi per l 'altro appartemento? E che ti importa?

Lo sento mucho.

Si.

I got your Sandy, fracker.

What?

Two tennies, Carl.

Hurry, pal.

Who is it? Oh, Carl, man.

I'm playing with you.

I know you.

Computer man said, gotta see her.

Who? Oh, he's just like Black Bear, man.

Come on.

You gotta let me in on a download.

Just one look.

Yeah, just one look, that's all it took.

Baby, just one look, that's all it took.

Ah, gee.

Get the hell out of here.

I got the cash.

Fine, young strange.

Come on, man, open up. I'll count it right in front of you.

Get your foot out of the door before I break it off.

Oh, you telling me I'm wrong? Look at me and tell me I'm wrong.

I saw the picture.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, tell me she ain't in there.

Huh? You can't do it.

You can't do it.

Five lives, baby. In your hand.

Who'd you say told you?

JPEGs. Don't lie.

The ones and the zeros do not lie.

I'll come back with the money tomorrow.

When?

Gun. O3 body.

Pocket.

You got to peek your first through. All right. If you don't hit wall, move left

till you do. All right? And I'll put you back to black.

All right.

Susan!

Susan!

How'd I do?

They were.

Where is she? Where is she?

Where is she?

Where is she?

This is how you do it, all right?

I got the other room. You put your knee in his back.

Get down here. Put your knee in his back.

All right.

Keep that in his ear.

a loaded gun.

What, no fire escape?

That ain't up to code.

Cops are going to be here in about 30 seconds.

So here's the play.

You're going to tell them exactly what happened.

You're going to press charges against these two monsters.

You and your daughter are going to testify at their trial. And you're going

make sure they go to jail so they can't do this to somebody else.

You're going to tell them everything.

But you will leave out one little detail.

never hear.

I understand.

Let me, uh... Daddy, I was so scared.

I was so scared.

I was so scared.
