All language subtitles for The Commish s04e06 Nancy With the Laughing Face

Hey.

Dad, look what I found.

It was behind some boxes of junk in the
garage.

Oh, I remember this.

Were you a biker?

And where'd you get it, then?

Back in Brooklyn.

On a day I came this close to being
killed by a buffalo.

A buffalo?

A buffalo?

Buffalo Bigelow was the leader of the
Avenue A motorcycle gang.

He owed the city 12 grand in traffic
tickets.

Sarge wanted them busted.

I'd been out of the academy six weeks.

My partner was Vince O 'Rourke, toughest
cop on the beat.

Buffalo loved his wheels almost as much
as he hated cops.

That bike was the envy of everyone who
wore Leatherman studs.

I can enjoy busting his clowns. Oh,
Vince, he's got 20 guys with him. Maybe

should call for some backup.

Backup's for sissies. Let me show you
how to land a big one.

Hey, Buffalo, you're under arrest.

Well, now what, shrimp?

You think these guys are going to let
you take me in?

I could see this was a tight -knit
group. I had to think of a way to split

apart before they did it to me.

Take you in, Mr. Buffalo?

I think you must have misunderstood.

We didn't come for you.

No, not at all. We came for your bike.

What?

I've been authorized to conduct an
auction to pay off your traffic

Who'll start the bidding?

No one's going to bid on my bike. We're
like brothers.

Oh, great. Then it'll stay in the
family.

Do I hear 100?

100. 100.

I have 100 from the man with the ring up
his nose.

Do I hear 200?

200. Shut up!

$200. I have $200. Thank you very much,
sir. Do I hear 300 bucks? 300 bucks for

the best bike in town.

Look, I told you. We're like brothers
here.

300, brother.

Come away.

Put your hands off.

That's not mine.

It's not his.

I got that better. Who's got the red?

Hey, give me that line.

But you never arrested Buffalo?

No, we got him.

And the experience inspired a little
poem that kept me in one piece

my entire career.

A poem.

When a tough guy is your target and the
odds are far from fair, incite a fight,

then bust him when he leaves intensive
care.

You work here?

Yes. Yeah, well, who's your boss?

Well, there's no need to be rude.

Mr. Mandino's on vacation. Can I help
you?

The key's to the vault.

Who's got it?

There's not much in here.

We had our weekly pickup last night.
Yeah, sure you did.

Mr. Costa is a Christian, sir. He
doesn't lie.

Well, I'm a Christian and I'm robbing a
bank.

This guy's got to be the MVP of the old
world super team.

He waltzes into the vault, forgets to
take a hostage.

Lopez, have any trouble bringing him in?

So, listen, what time do you want me
over tonight?

Seven -spot. Yeah. Should I bring some
pretzels, beer?

It's dinner, Paulie, not a poker game.

Old habits die hard. Hey, Lopez.

Nice call.

Check this guy out.

Who is he?

Marcel Marceau, from what I can make
out. He hasn't opened his mouth since I

picked him up off the floor.

All right, book him. Take a look at his
assault weapon.

It's a dart gun.

Hey, still on robbery, genius.

Lambert.

Wow, you know this guy.

Paulie Pentangeli. Didn't know about the
career change.

This one seems to have hit a snag. Help
me, Paulie. Get me out of here. Hey,

come on. It's not so bad.

The coffee's always lukewarm. No
secondhand smoke.

It'll be an experience.

You ever cared for her, you'll get me
out of here.

Brian Lambert, investment broker. Real
high flyer in the 80s.

And?

He's married to Nancy.

Your Nancy?

My Nancy.

Paul, please, I've got to talk to Nancy
now.

Is she here? No.

Come on, sit down.

Look. I know I've screwed up. I'm
willing to pay the price.

Commissioner, please, I must talk to my
wife.

Who's that comedy you were playing out
this afternoon?

He's asking you a question.

Yeah.

Well, it's a long story.

Yeah, well, we're just a couple of civil
servants. We got nothing but time.

Look, you still work for Pendragon
Investments? Yes, yes.

You have a five -year -old boy.

You live in the best part of town. You
got no prior record.

What's going on?

I can subpoena your bank records.

I can run a TRW, a Dun & Brad... Look.

I just need to talk to my wife.

Your wife can't help you. What's going
on, Lambert?

Somebody's squeezing you?

His wife's here.

You'll see her when we're done here.

Nancy. Willie.

You can't be any more surprised than I
am.

When did you come back?

A couple of months ago.

So, how's married life?

Is that supposed to be funny?

Yeah.

Where's Brian?

He's talking to Tony.

You post bail?

No, no, not yet. Why not?

Well, how much is it?

$100 ,000.

Well, you only got to come up with 10%.
What? Don't tell me Brian invested in

Whitewater, too. I'll have the money by
tomorrow.

You'll be safe here overnight, won't
you, Polly?

Yeah.

I'll make sure nobody pukes on his $1
,000 shoes.

That's an idea. Why don't you give the
bondsman 10 pair of loafers?

You're a first -class jerk. Better than
a third -class crook.

I'm so sorry.

No bail.

You're kidding.

Hi, Tony.

Matthew.

Take him downstairs.

Put him in a separate cell.

Come on. Wait a second. Wait. Can't you
walk down with me?

Why don't you run Lambert's financial
records, see what kicks out?

Yeah.

She looks good.

Too thin.

You want to make dinner another night?

No, I'm fine.

You sure?

I'll be there at 7.

I'm fine.

I don't know how much Tony told you,
but, you know, we were together for five

years. I thought we were in it for the
long haul.

until the day I asked her to marry me.
Then she freaked out. Freaked.

I mean, she gave me that speech, you
know, about how she didn't know if she

what it takes to be a cop's wife. You
know what I'm talking about? You know,

right?

So,

I mean, we kept going out, but, you
know, the mojo wasn't working anymore.

No mojo.

She said she needed her space.

Well, the next thing I know, Lambert's
in the picture, and it's weekends in

Jamaica and diamond bracelets.

We're married six months later.

I mean, I can't say that I blame her. He
treated her like a queen.

I married Diane on the rebound, and,
well, we all know how that ended up.

God, I sound like a head case.

Well, how long is it since you've seen
her?

Oh, six years and four months next
Friday.

Well, roughly.

And you're still waiting for her to come
running back into your arms? No, no,

that would be crazy.

She's, you know, she's got a kid, she's
married.

I don't know, I guess it was just seeing
her, you know.

We were soulmates, Rachel.

You don't leave your soulmate for Mr.

Wallstreet. Well, obviously she loved
him. Give her some credit.

Oh, but this guy, uh... Come on, Paulie,
I mean, admit it. It's not gonna

happen. Move on.

She's tough.

Yeah, you're right. You know, that was
in the past. It was beautiful while it

lasted, but now it's in the past.

I happen to know a whole lot of cute
single women.

Names and numbers, right?

You got it.

Excuse me.

You got a girlfriend?

Hello? Not really.

We'll talk later.

Hang on.

It's the precinct.

They want to transfer a call from Nancy
to Paulie.

Nancy's on the phone?

Put it through.

Really got through to him, Mom.

Hello?

Yeah.

No.

I'm not busy.

Now it's fine.

Sure, I can meet.

Right.

I, um... You know, she... She, you know,
she wants to be

on my board.

Dinner was great, right? Thanks.

Do you still jump up like that whenever
I call?

Every time.

Oh, I love it when you lie.

Eight. Three more talks, huh?

Polly, we're in trouble.

Three days ago, Julian, our son was
kidnapped.

By who?

We don't know.

They called and said that if we don't
come up with half a million dollars,

they'll kill us.

You should have gone to the cops right
away.

They warned us not to.

Well, why didn't you give them the
money?

We didn't have it.

It's complicated.

Our money's tied up.

Tied up? Your son's life is at stake?
Your money? Don't you think I know that?

We sold everything we could, you know,
the cars, the jewelry.

Was that enough?

That's why Brian was trying to rob the
bank.

And why I couldn't put it there.

They said no cops and, um, you know, we
haven't told anyone.

But when I saw you today... You got us
stolen.

No, no, no, we can't. We can't. No more
causing.

We want the money.

But you don't have it.

I do now.

Explanations later, Paul.

Come with me to make the exchange.

The

meet's

behind Box Canyon, off the 44.

And Nancy's got the money, so I'm going
with her.

For the exchange?

If they ask, I'm her brother.

Look, all they care about is the brand,
right?

Go on.

There's a ridge that runs along this
north end. You can post up there.

Well, they said if they see any police,
they'll kill Julian on the spot. No,

they won't see us. Look, I asked you not
to bring Tony into this. And I told you

why I had to. Paulie had no choice.

Look, if you still feel uncomfortable,
we can wait until they call again and

if we can trace it. No, they said it has
to be this morning.

Stay with Paulie. Do what he tells you
to do.

Help. At no time do you act on your own.
Understood?

No radio contact.

We'll be up on the ridge.

Okay. Let's go. We're out of time.

Stand behind me and close.

Let me do all the talking.

Do you have a gun?

They're gonna search us.

Don't worry. Tony will have an army
backing us up.

Yeah, what if they don't let Julian go?
Don't play the what -if game.

Let's just get lucky, okay?

It'll be all right, Nat.

I'll take care of it.

Where's our arm?

I don't see anyone.

Don't worry. They're up there.

Hi.

Where's the money?

There's nowhere near half a million
dollars here.

I lied.

I had to. You might not have come.

You're right. This is crazy.

I didn't know what else to do. Well, we
can't go through with this.

Damn it.

Gray van just pulled up. Stay alert.

What are we going to do?

Stay calm.

My brother.

Let me see the money.

Where's Julian?

The boy's fine.

He'll have a story to tell his friends
on the schoolyard.

Now, about the money.

Something's wrong.

Name is Ross Novacek.

Armed robbery in 75, assault in 80,
first -degree manslaughter also in 80.

Our sources say he does jobs for some of
the New York families, but he's

essentially an independent.

Why is this guy into kidnapping all of a
sudden?

Scott was tracking down the ownership of
the van, allowed to dust it up for

print. What about the helicopter?

We're getting a list of all landing pads
in a 100 -mile radius.

Contact the feds? Yeah, they're backing
us up.

Thanks, Jimmy.

Didn't Nancy say anything to you? About
what?

You know, this morning.

Is she, uh, you know, mad at me?

Is she mad at you? You took a bullet for
her.

She shouldn't have gone down like that,
you know.

Commissioner, you asked me to go back
and check Lambert's financial records?

Yeah, Jamie.

It came up.

What is it?

On February 9th of this year, a check
for $75 ,000 was posted.

It was from Ross Novacek.

He was one of your clients. Why didn't
you tell me that?

I, uh... Who are you talking about?

The man who kidnapped Julian.

You knew him? You did business with him?

I had no idea he'd do something like
this. How could you not tell me that?

I was afraid of what you'd think.

Afraid of what I'd think? What about
Julian?

I thought I could handle it, honey. I
tried to do it the way we... Look, my

business was falling apart. We were
going broke.

Novichek called me up one day. He heard
about me through a friend of a friend.

Said he had some money to invest.

How much?

400 ,000.

My losing streak continued. I lost it.

He went ballistic.

Said if he didn't get it all back... Did
you know he was connected?

Not till this happened.

I mean, I know I should have checked him
out, but he seemed legit. He had a

couple of hotels. He owned a restaurant.

How did you do business?

Over the phone.

You never met him face to face?

Just once.

Where?

Coffee shop in Stouffville.

Mayors, Myers, I don't know, something
like that.

Did it seem like he went there often?

I don't know.

Maybe.

I'm going to need all the bank accounts,
phone numbers, all the recorded

contacts you had with him. Yeah, I'll
get you everything.

Honey, I'm so sorry. I... Just send the
Novichek down.

We're gonna do everything we can to get
Julian back, okay?

We're gonna get him back, Nance.

What was that about? What?

You don't make promises to someone in
her position.

Why can't I give her some hope? That's
not what you were doing.

You were trying to show up Lambert so
you could be her shining knight that he

can't be.

I'm going to keep that promise.

Try another shot. What's it going to
take to get the kid back?

One phone call?

In return for what?

What half the world is fighting the
other half for.

Freedom.

You return unharmed, and I'll try to get
your sentence reduced.

He dies, and you're gone forever. Hey,
with my record, I'm gone forever either

way. No.

I walk out of here, well, there's no
deal.

You know that can never happen. Never
say never.

You are going to the stony, lonesome,
chump federal prison.

Because of you, the Lamberts will put
flowers on an empty grave every year.

I'd love to spend some time alone with
you. Are we

serious about this or not?

I'm listening.

I mean, what do you think you're going
to hear?

A million cash and small bills?

The Gulf Stream to fly me to Libya?

A piece of paper is all I want.

From the U .S. Attorney saying when I
return the kid, there'll be no charges

pressed.

I could try.

I need to talk to my people.

You got a phone?

Do you want me to make a deal or not?

They got a portable, too.

That's a nicer model.

Impossible to trade.

Yeah. That's me.

Where are you? If I'm not where we said
by noon tomorrow, kill the kid.

Great reception.

What's it mean that Novichok won't
negotiate?

Time is on his side. He's trying to make
the best deal he can. So why can't we

just give him what he wants? He wants to
walk. So let him.

Nancy, we can't. Look, why can't you
just give him everything he wants and

you can arrest him again after we get
Julian back?

Honey, the man's not stupid.

Oh, that's right.

Fooled you pretty good, didn't he?

Did he say anything else? Are there any
leads at all?

I'm going to go down to the lab after
this to see if they've come up with

anything. So that's the big plan? Sit
and wait?

For now.

It's not enough!

Look, is there some way I can stay up
here with Nancy?

It's against regulations. Oh, don't give
me regulations.

For God's sakes, have some humanity,
will you? She needs me here with her.

Can't be done.

Sorry.

For the record, Pentangeli, I know what
you're doing. What am I doing?

The promises, the touching, keeping us
apart. I'm doing my job. Don't forget,

she's my wife.

You're out of line here. You're
shameless.

You got the monopoly on shame.

Oh, stop it!

Both of you, God.

Julian's out there somewhere. God knows
if he's even still alive. And the two of

you are acting like a couple of...
Just... I'm sorry.

Look, I gotta get back.

Come on.

Is there anything you need?

Take him downstairs.

Go.

It's the truth, Nance. I can't let him
stay up here with you.

I'm not going to be able to make it home
tonight, sweetie. I'm sorry.

I'm just really under the gun.

I'll have Nancy and her husband holding
up. Like you'd expect.

Not looking forward to the next few
hours.

How's everyone over there?

We miss you.

We're all fine.

Look, uh, I gotta go.

Love you.

Me too.

What were we hearing from the lab?

Only prints they found in the van with
Julian.

DMV says the van was stolen three days
ago in Passaic.

Got everyone pulling double shifts, and
I had the phone lines rerouted from

Lambert's house to here.

You talk to the U .S. Attorney's Office
here?

The most they'll consider is a reduced
sentence. There's no way they're going

drop the charges.

You think Novacek's bluffing?

My guess is he'll cut a deal at the last
minute. And if he doesn't?

Look, I made some calls.

Turns out Novacek's got a teenage son.
Lives down in Atlantic City with the

mother. And the word is, he'll do
anything for this kid.

I say we grab him, we trade him for
Julian.

I know it's crazy, but we're running out
of time. You gotta consider everything.

Not breaking the law.

Bending it. No, breaking it, Paulie.

This is about saving a kidnapped little
boy. That's it.

Meaning what?

You see this as your opportunity to win
Nancy back. You'll do whatever it takes.

If you can't leave your personal
feelings for her out of this... I'm

control.

Have we heard anything?

Oh, Nancy, please.

I hate myself for what I've done. I sit
in that cell and I want to die.

Oh, well, it doesn't feel much better
out here.

In my mind, I was doing what was best
for you and Julian.

Doing business with gangsters? I told
you I didn't know that.

What are we doing here?

You might find something we can use.

Was making more money so important?

I was this close to filing for
bankruptcy. It wasn't a question of more

It was holding on to what we had, the
house. Oh, for God's sakes, who cares

about the house?

It was my job to provide for you and
Julian. If I couldn't do that... That's

what you think, isn't it?

That I married you for your money.

Well, if I did, what does that make me?

Oh, Nancy.

Ryan, I love you for who you are.

Or at least I did.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I don't know how much more of this I can
take. I really don't.

I am so scared.

You know, I just feel like I'm dying a
little every moment that he's away from

me. We're going to get him back.

Put your arms around me the way you used
to.

It's going to be okay.

We got a location on Julian.

Holly.

I found a helicopter and a landing pad
and stole them.

There's an old cabin on the property.

Neighbors saw two men and a boy going in
last night.

Get Prince, Susan.

Tony.

Blood.

I want a full search of this area. Five
-mile radius, break up into detail. No

long gone, Paulie. Do it! We're out in
the middle of nowhere.

They're not gonna hang around.

What do you want to do, Tony, huh? Stick
the kid's face in a milk carton and

wait?

You fellas give us a minute.

I'm going to forget all about the whole
idea of chain of command because at a

time like this, it doesn't matter. What
I'm not going to forget is that your

judgment's turned to mush.

You're not a detective here. You're a
lovesick teenager who... Tony, why don't

you just... Who just wants to win back
his old girlfriend.

Kidnap Novacek's son?

Send these guys out on some useless...
I'm taking you off

the case.

No, you can't do that. I just did it.

Tony, wait. No, listen.

Please, okay? Look, I'm out of line.
You're right. You're right.

You know, I saw the blood, and I just...
It won't happen again.

Okay, I'm sorry.

Look, you've got to let me be in on this
one.

We've got six hours left. Let's go.

Is Tony around?

No, but he should be back soon.

Oh, I brought a clean shirt.

Some bagels for you guys. Great, thanks.

Excuse me, can I get the bathroom?

Sure, let me find something.

Nancy?

Yes? Hi, I'm Rachel Scali, Tony's wife.

Oh, hi. Hi.

I think I have some aspirin.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Yeah, I'll take care of that. I'll make
sure he gets his.

Thanks, Mom.

Is there anything I can do?

No, thank you.

Sit down.

You know, I just keep thinking that...
What if they come back and tell me that

my son is dead?

It could happen, you know, just as
simple as that.

Dad.

These men are greedy.

All they want is money.

Keeping your son alive is the only hope
they have of getting anything.

You know, when I was a little girl and I
was upset about something my mom would

say to me, kiss it up to God and he'll
take care of it.

Kiss it up to God.

How's your husband doing?

Not much better than me, I guess.

To tell you the truth, I feel like I
don't even know who he is anymore.

Your husband and Polly have been... I
don't know where I would be if they

weren't helping me.

Those two guys are like a couple of pit
bulls.

They are not going to quit until they
get your son back.

Believe me, they'll come up with
something.

Hey, look who's here, the dynamic duo.

We're here to visit the Joker.

Open up.

Let's go. Yeah, we're two.

You wanted the U .S. attorney. You got
him. Yeah, making my deal.

We're cutting the deal all right.

Maybe not the one you wanted.

He's got a witness that's going to put
you away for the rest of your life.

right. Julian Lambert.

That's what you get for using amateurs.

Your boys lost him just outside of
Morgan Heights.

Sweetheart, I was so worried.

You're going to have to call and tell
Grandma, huh?

Those morons.

Yeah, they are.

Come on.

What the hell were they doing in Morgan
Heights?

They got a Dairy Queen there. Maybe they
stopped for a moment. They were

supposed to be waiting at the Motor
Lodge in Grosvenor. Hold it.

What do you mean?

What's going on?

This is C -1.

What is this?

Calvin, take him to lock up.

That's not the kid.

That's not the kid.

Yeah, but now we know where he is. Great
work, Nance.

They've got Julian in room three.

How we doing, Ronnie?

Stay ready.

Susan?

All set.

Move out.

Hey, check it out.

Hey, sweet thing, I'll find out you did.

Where's Duane?

How you doing, Julia?

Come on now.

Come on. I got you. There we go. Up
there. Yeah.

Oh.

Mommy!

Daddy! Oh, Julia!

Oh, yeah. Oh, sweetheart.

Oh, Julia. Oh, we were so worried about
you.

Are you okay, honey? I love you so much.

I remember why I do this.

Can we go home now? Can we go home?

Oh, yeah, you bet.

No one's ever going to hurt you again.

How do you say thank you to someone
who's given you your family back?

You just did.

My attorney told me the banks dropped
the charges after you talked to them.

You've been through enough.

Why don't you go home and get some rest?

Listen, I'm glad it all worked out okay.

He's a brave kid.

You busy?

No, not at all.

How's Julian?

Um, first few days were tough, but it's
getting better.

Look, now that this is over, um, I just
wanted to tell you how grateful I... No,

that's not what I wanted to tell you.

Um... I came here to say that I am
really confused.

About what?

About how to go back to my life after
everything that's happened.

Crazy, or is there still something
between us?

I guess we're both crazy.

Have you told Brian yet?

I'll tell him tonight when he gets home.

Do you want me to go with you? I'll meet
you later.

I'll be at Lou's.

This is really happening, right?

Nancy. What's up, Casanova?

Well, looks like Nancy and I are getting
back together.

When did this happen?

Oh, it's happening as we speak.

Don't things work out for you?

Even though you don't think it will.

I didn't say that.

Hey, Scali.

I've known you since we were in short
pants. I can read your face.

Well, it's pretty quick. I mean,
emotions run high.

What you both went through was pretty
intense.

You mean like when I rescued her son
while her husband did nothing? You were

trained to rescue him. Brian wasn't.
Hey, Brian's the reason this whole thing

happened. He made a mistake.

He didn't seem like a very bad guy. Why
are you defending him? I'm not defending

him. It's just... Yeah, just what?

We're talking about a family breaking up
here.

I mean, it's got to be the right thing.
Not just for now, but forever.

Tony, she came to me. Don't make me the
homewrecker. I never said you were.

I love her.

She loves me.

Did she ever say that to you, that she
loves you? She didn't have to.

She said it to Brian.

It's just words, okay? I know what's in
her heart.

This is my life, okay?

Paulie, what are you doing here? Listen
to me very carefully. I'm only going to

say this once.

Is everything okay?

Go out and get the thickest knee pads
they sell.

Get down on them, and I want you to beg
Nancy to forgive you.

Don't ever lie to her again.

And don't ever let me catch you running
around with the wrong crowd. Believe me,

it's not worth it.

You've got a family.

It lives or dies by what you choose to
do.

You know something I don't?

I love her, Paulie.

It's just that since the bottom fell
out, I don't know how to show her. Who

doesn't take a bank account to wrap your
arms around someone and make them feel

loved?

Why are you telling me this?

I'm certifiable.

The arm slammer.

All the way around her.

Same.
