Nicely done, David.

You're as ready for your bar mitzvah as
anyone I've tutored.

So, when I finish my half Torah, The
rabbi will instruct you to be seated.

He'll complete the service, then call
you forward again to give your speech,

which you're coming along with, I hope.

Yeah, it's coming along.

You haven't started.

Have you thought about what you want to
say?

Yeah, I really... Don't have a clue.

Every time I write stuff down, it sounds
so typical.

Today I become a man.

I mean, how many times have I heard that
before?

You'll find the worth.

Hi.

Um, hi.

Cantor Kagan.

This is my... This is Sherry Fisher.

A pleasure to meet you, Sherry Fisher.

Hi. Perhaps you know more about becoming
a man than I suspected.

What if I get up there and I go blank?

Forget everything. I have Torah, my
speech.

It could scar me for life.

You're going to do great.

I have to get up in front of 300 people
and sing.

Just thinking about it makes me want to
throw up.

Wait till you get home to think about
it.

I talked to my parents last night.

Told them I want you to sit next to me
at the head table.

What'd they say?

No problem.

Let's go down by the water.

Okay.

We've been seeing each other every day
for over four weeks now.

And you still haven't kissed me.

Wow, four weeks.

I thought it was... There.

Now it's official.

I got something for you.

I was going to give it to you later.

Oh, David, it's beautiful.

I'll never take it off.

Sherry, will you go study with me?

Oh, my God.

You're right.

Maybe we are a little young for this
kind of... David, look.

You know him?

Gary Ellis.

Owned a car wash over on Dearborn.

Had a reputation as a pretty degenerate
gambler.

Lost that bet.

Check out our informants who work with
bookies.

Perez, the Wachtel brothers, Jake Lowe.
And send me a copy of the lab report.

Stan, we get a hold of Sherry's father?

Not yet.

Can Sherry come to our house, Dad? Of
course.

It's all right, really.

Louise is at my house.

She's our nanny.

Are you sure?

I can handle it.

Officer Kelly here will take you home.

We'll call you.

Okay.

David, thank you.

Isn't she the best?

She's terrific.

What were you guys doing here all by
yourselves?

Nothing.

I remember that kind of nothing.

Dad. You okay?

Hi. Hi.

You all right?

You look like a car wreck.

That's funny. I feel like a train wreck.

Where's David?

He's upstairs, on the phone with Sherry.
Oh, the lovebirds.

Her dad called. He said to say thank you
for taking care of her.

I invited him over for supper on Monday
night.

This Monday night?

Oh, the bar mitzvah's in a week.

There's a million things to do. I gotta
get a suit. Can't it wait?

Oh, he spends a lot of time over at
their house. I think it's appropriate

we all get to know each other. They're
not engaged.

Oh, but she's a very important part of
his life.

Honey, they're 13 years old. He may not
remember her name in a month. They care

about each other very much. I can tell.

Hey, Romeo and Juliet were only 13.

Yeah, and look what happened to them.

Scali. John took a report from Ellis'
wife.

And? You were right.

Ellis had a serious gambling. Jones was
into his bookie for a lot of money.

Who's his bookie? Don Lacey.

Yeah, I know Don.

Moves around a lot. Check the Hungry
Oyster in Groverton. They'll do.

We're striking out with our regular
informants. All they'll fess up to is

there's a new player in town, but nobody
wants to talk about him. I wonder why.

Find Noodles.

Bring him in. Oh, are we really that
desperate?

I can't keep coming in here, man. It
could do serious damage to my

What's with the prop?

Class, baby.

Class.

No smoking, baby.

No smoking.

Don Lacey.

We used to work three -card money scams
together in Albany when we were coming

up. Always had a lot of talent with
numbers.

Could do that whole Rain Man thing.

Where's he operate now?

I hear he's booking out of the Hungry
Oyster. Already tried. He's not there.

Look, you barking up the wrong bush. You
think that Don Lacey put the whack on

Ellis. It's not his style.

Besides... Besides what?

Word on the street is that a lot of
bookies are selling their paper to some

guy. He's been floating a lot of moolah.
Who?

Whoever he is. He's a real animal.

Get me a name, Noodles.

And while you're at it, find Don Lacey.

You know me, I don't know the meaning of
the word quit.

But I do know the meaning of the word
compensation.

I said I'll take care of you. I'm going
through a little divorce at the moment,

you know. By the time her lawyer gets
through with me, there won't be nothing

left but a little wet pot.

I've learned a lot this last year about
myself and about Judaism.

I've learned that a bar mitzvah is a
very important part of my growing up.

not just because you get so many great
presents.

A little bar mitzvah humor.

I want to thank Cantor Kagan for being
such a great teacher.

Rabbi Marin for being such a great
rabbi.

But most of all, I want to thank my
parents.

My parents are truly... I haven't
finished that part yet.

You know, the rest is just your standard
stuff. It's not very good.

Say that, honey.

I think it's terrific.

David, look.

Making a speech is like making a salad.

You need your standard stuff, your
lettuce, and then you go back and you

it up a little bit.

Jokes, anecdotes, sentimental stuff for
your mom. That's your tomatoes, your

avocado, your bell peppers.

Rachel, there's no bell peppers.

No, we ran out.

Well, you get the idea.

I'm going to put out the problem once.

Come on, I want it to look nice.

Now, you guys aren't going to embarrass
me tonight, are you?

Talk about how cute we look together.

David. Don't you think that we remember
what it was like when we were kids?

Give us some credit.

Now, that is one great -looking couple.

As a single parent, you're always
worrying you're not doing enough for

children.

But I know I'm doing something right if
you bring some of my boys nice as David.

Thank you.

Why'd you move to Eastbridge, Gideon?

When Sherry got to junior high, we felt
she needed a better education than she

could get in Glen Oaks.

I'm in mail order, so I can live
anywhere.

We love it here, don't we, honey?

Totally.

Oh, that's my phone. Excuse me.

This is delicious.

Kosher broccoli.

I love it.

You record.

Hello?

Hi. Sorry to bother you, Tony. I just
got a call from Noodles.

He gave me the name of the guy who
bought Don Lacey's paper.

The animal who killed Ellis?

Actually, it sounds like a nickname.

Giggy. Giggy?

It's not enough. Tell him we need more.

Who, what, when, where, and why.

I did.

I'm running it through the computer.

Let me know.

All right.

Sorry.

Tony Gideon just invited us to spend a
day on his boat sometime.

Nothing fancy, just a 22 -footer, but
it's fun.

Sure he insisted I buy it, whether I
could afford it or not.

It's the best.

Can we, Dad?

Great. Thanks, Gideon.

Now that we're going to be friends, I
insist you stop calling me Gideon.

It's such a formal name.

My friends call me Giggie, and so should
you.

Giggie?

That's cute.

Don't you think so, Tom?

You think he's a gangster?

No way.

He couldn't be involved in something
like that.

How many Giggies do you meet in a
lifetime?

Him?

He's such a nebbish.

So is Meyer Lansky, but he was public
enemy number one for 50 years.

Let me ask you this. Where'd you get
your information?

An informant.

Oh. Well, they would say anything to get
on your good side.

I know.

And noodles is lazier than most.

Noodles?

Noodles and gigi.

Sounds like a bad gag to the flick.

What are you going to do?

Everything I can to find out for sure. I
already have a surveillance detail on

him.

That's about it, boss. This is a heavy
hitter.

Don a read by day.

Don Corleone by night.

This is productive.

You got any antacid? Somebody's doing
somersaults in my stomach.

Well, I got some beef jerky.

Beef?

Uh -oh.

Here comes tough guy.

Probably going to a Woody Allen look
-alike contest.

Is he taking us?

This is Morgan Heights.

Maybe he's lost.

What have we here?

Pull over.

This is X -Ray 3. We need a DMV check.

New York, Baby Lawrence Quick 251.

Any unmarked units in the area of 9th
and Carmichael? We're in the alley

directly behind Ferguson.

We need assistance for a loose tail.

Roger, X -Ray 3.

Pick up the guy in the gray sedan.

All right.

Yeah?

John and Stan just called in.

Fisher met a guy in a back alley in
Morgan Heights, pulled a briefcase out

his trunk and handed it to him.

Funny way to run a mail order business.

We ran his plates.

Joey Delabardi.

I've heard of him.

He's got a jacket as long as your right
arm.

Extortion, racketeering, you name it,
he's done it.

Who's on Delabardi?

Caruso. The evidence mounts.

Glen Oak's PD got back to me. They knew
all about the famous giggy.

They'd never been able to build a strong
enough case against him.

Meanwhile, he's been lurking in the
shadows, quietly making millions off of

bookmaking and usury.

There's no way in the world you'd peg a
guy like Fisher.

He looks like some mild -mannered file
clerk.

Yeah, these are some pretty interesting
files.

What? Caruso on one. Thank you.

Hierarchy. I follow Gigi to McGee's.
It's a lunch place over on Brand.

I know it.

He just sent in a briefcase to a guy
having lunch at the counter.

I think it's that bookie we're looking
for.

Don Lacey?

Pretty sure.

Don't let Lacey out of your sight. I'll
be right there.

Rangers look great this year.

I thought McGee's French dip was my own
little secret.

Here's the horseradish.

Lots of horseradish.

I'm looking around for you, Don.

I'm easy to find.

What can you tell me about Gigi Fisher?

That's his money in your briefcase.

He's killing off your clientele.

Gigi Fisher's not your friend.

I'm not your friend either, but as it
stands, he can hurt you a lot worse than

can.

Give him up.

I'll get him under RICO and you'll be
protected.

Pickles are great.

Are you going to arrest Giggy?

Not yet.

Cases like these are not easy to make
without a first -hand witness.

What?

This investigation's going to continue,
and that means until it's over, I have

to tell David to stop seeing Sherry.

Can't it wait until after the bar
mitzvah?

I mean, he's under so much pressure
already, Tony. I think this is going to

really upset him.

I give the appearance of impropriety, if
it even smells like I'm showing

favoritism, it becomes a problem for the
prosecution of the case.

I'm not thinking about the case.

I'm thinking about our son.

That's a luxury you have that I don't.

I know.

I'm just really worried about how he's
going to take it.

I know how he feels about Sherry.

What you doing?

Working on my speech.

Thought it was done?

I'm just changing a few things.

You have to talk.

Sure.

What's up?

Look, uh, this isn't something you want
to hear.

Look, Sherry's father isn't exactly who
you think he is.

He's not really her father?

I think he may be involved in some
criminal activities.

Him? I know.

But until he's cleared or arrested, you
and Sherry are going to have to take a

big step back.

Stop seeing each other?

Well, just for a little while.

Why? I mean, what does this have to do
with us?

Nothing, really. It's just that you're
my son and he's being investigated.

You know how that can look. I can't have
a social relationship with a criminal.

But Sherry's not a criminal.

It's too close. I'm sorry, David. It's
unfair, but Sherry's not going to be

to come to your bar mitzvah. Forget it,
Dad. You can't make me stop seeing her

because I won't. Look. Scott Baker's
cousin was busted for dealing pills last

year. Can he still be my friend?

Damn it, David. You're old enough to
understand this. I guess I'm not.

That body you and Sherry found?

We think he may have something to do
with it.

I didn't want to tell you.

David, Sherry's here.

You promised her I'd help her with her
homework.

Or is that too close, too?

I'm sorry, David, but you're going to
have to tell her you can't.

You do it.

Oh, I love it. Dad thought it was a
little much.

Hi, Mr. Scali.

Hi, Sherry.

David has to cancel.

Oh, is he okay?

Yeah.

Something came up and he has to cancel.

Oh, okay.

Well, bye.

Bye, honey.

Take it easy.

Apologies for barging in on you like
this.

I'm a little confused about what's going
on with the kids.

Did Sherry do something wrong?

No.

Well, she says David hasn't spoken to
her for two days, and he won't tell her

why.

Did I do something wrong?

I thought our dinner went great. I
really liked you and Rachel.

Tell me about the mail order business,
Gideon.

What's to tell? You catalog your
merchandise?

You can drop it now, Gideon. I know who
you are.

Who am I? Well, for starters, you're the
man responsible for the death of Gary

Ellis.

Who the hell is Gary Ellis?

Look at me.

Do I look like a killer? Every day a new
surprise.

That's why I love my job.

I never hurt anybody in my life.

You got me mixed up with someone else. I
can't believe this.

Meanwhile, it's breaking Sherry's heart.

I don't know if you noticed, but I've
devoted my life to that little girl.

Her happiness is the most important
thing to me.

Whatever misguided idea you have about
me, don't take it out on her.

Get out of my office.

Tony? Just got a call from Don Lacey.
Wants to meet for coffee. Said you'd

where.

Bingo.

What's up?

You were right.

Giggy Fisher's putting me out of
business.

I got enough hard evidence to put him
away for a long time. What kind of

evidence? Let me finish.

I played ball once and I got burned.

I will not, hear me, will not... to defy
against him or anyone in court. You

give me assurances then, in writing, and
I'll provide you with secret audio

tapes of conversations we had.

They contain everything about his
operation, including a little dialogue

Gary Ellis' murder.

These tapes will bury him, Skelly.

I'll back you up all the way on this
one.

Let's go to the DA's office right now
and cut a deal.

In writing, according to your terms.

Somebody just dropped this off for you.

Yeah. Who?

Just some guy.

Who is it?

It's my wife and kids.

I'll put your entire family into
protective custody, relocate you,

takes. This is your only shot now.

Somehow, I can't see myself working as a
crossing guard in Ames, Iowa.

I'm out of here.

Wait.

Dan!

Long day.

How's David?

He hasn't come out of his room since
supper.

He says he doesn't care about his bar
mitzvah.

He thinks it's all a big joke anyway
since we're still telling him what to

What did you say?

I said that just because he's a man in
the eyes of God doesn't mean that we

stopped being his parents.

I told him he's just not ready to go out
there in the world like he really was a

grown -up.

And what did he say?

Nothing.

I'm going to go check on him.

Rachel! Jill!

He's gone.

Movie theaters, bus stations,
convenience stores.

Video arcades. Video arcades, uh, parks.

Anything that's open all night.

Call me, Spridge, until you find him.
This is my son.

He did? When?

We've been trying to get a hold of him.

What? Gideon Fisher called in a missing
person on Sherry half an hour ago.

I know it.

Yeah, David could be with her.

Distribute her photograph.

Okay. They ran away together.

Look, we should call up Gideon.

Maybe he's got some ideas.

Tony, this is not the time to take a
moral stand.

If he can help us find David... First of
all, he can't.

Second of all, we don't need to go crazy
just yet.

We know they're together. They're both
level -headed kids. This is an act of

rebellion. David's going to be fine.

May I come in?

No.

Tony. What do you want?

You know what I want.

My daughter.

I can't just sit at home and wait for
the phone to ring. What can I do?

You tell me.

Rachel, can I have a moment with Tony?

Sure.

May I speak to you off the record, as it
were?

I know certain people.

I let them know to keep an eye out for
the kids.

I thought you were in mail order,
Gideon.

Now you have people?

It's not easy for a father to give his
daughter what only a mother can.

But I've done my best.

I've made mistakes.

Who hasn't?

Done things I'm not proud of.

But I can live with myself.

What I do, I do to provide for her.

Is that what you call murder?

A mistake?

I know nothing about murder.

I swear on my daughter's life.

She is all that matters now.

So you're a good father. Pin a medal on
your chest.

Tomorrow you can go back to hating me.

Today.

Have a little rachmonos, Tony.

A little empathy.

I would if I didn't think you were here
as an opportunist.

Perfect chance to become friends with
the police commissioner.

Might be good for business later on.

Shame on you.

And you're sure nobody's going to come
in here and find us? I'm positive.

I overheard my dad once talking about
this place. He said it was perfect

nobody ever came in here. He doesn't
even know I know he owns it.

Great.

I brought some snacks.

Potato chip, chocolate chip cookies,
pickles.

This is like camping.

I'm really glad we did this.

I couldn't handle these last few days
not being together.

It wasn't you, was it?

Your dad made you stop seeing me.

Sort of.

Why?

Don't your parents like me?

Well, sure they like you.

Well, then what?

It's got nothing to do with you, Sherry.

Really. Of course it does.

No, it's about your dad and my dad.

Your dad doesn't like my dad?

I didn't say that. My dad is the most
wonderful man in the world.

And if you or your dad have any
problems, you can all just stuff it.

I don't have any problem.

I like your dad.

I like him a lot.

We're together now, right?

I mean, that's what counts.

Look at us.

We're supposed to be having a good time.

Let's go out for pizza.

It's almost midnight.

Ruby's are still open. Come on.

Are we having an adventure or not?

Have you talked to Groverton and other
neighboring jurisdictions?

I've called everywhere.

And I've got all units working double
shifts.

I don't know what else to do.

Thanks, Sid.

You and Rachel holding up?

Barely.

I'll be in touch.

Thanks again.

Want to laugh, Pete?

No, thanks.

What are you thinking about?

What I'm always thinking about.

Day and night, night and day.

Your speech.

Okay, here's the deal.

I'm supposed to get up there and say,
today I become a man.

But I don't feel like a man.

I mean, my dad's a man.

Your dad's a man.

The only man that would be in the eighth
grade is one that's flunked like... 20

times.

So say something else.

Like what?

What if you got up there and you said
what you just told me?

That you don't feel like a man yet, but
studying for your bar mitzvah, you've

learned a lot of stuff that you'll
always remember as you grow into one.

That is excellent.

I learned a lot of stuff. David, you've
got to put it in your own words. I just

gave you an idea.

Let it sink in.

You're going to write what you feel from
the inside.

I'm not good at writing what I feel.

I'm a guy.

Remember that note you sent me in Mr.
Quitter's class?

Yeah.

I got it put away in my room. It was the
most beautiful thing anyone has ever...

Because it was from your heart.

Okay.

Hips just called. While he was on break,
he stopped in at Ruby's Pizza out near

Redmond Park.

He showed photographs of Sherry and
David.

Somebody ID'd them. They were in
earlier.

Someone spotted David.

Send units out there. I'll meet you.

Call you as soon as I know anything.

important things on my mind than you
right now, Don.

So consider this your last warning.

No more dialogue with Scali.

No more bright ideas about saving your
hide.

Not gonna happen.

I whacked Ellis.

I'll do the same with you or anyone else
who gets in my way.

Is that a concept you can wrap your head
around?

David. David.

Get him, will you?

Get him!

It's all right, Dave. You're safe.

Come on.

Those were his exact words.

I whacked Ellis, and I'll do the same to
you or anyone else who gets in my way.

What happened then?

It was like a blur.

I knocked something over.

He looked up, saw me, and tore out of
there as fast as I could.

Call Alex's office. Tell them we want a
warrant for Fisher's arrest and for

Della Barti. What about protection for
David?

Send two teams over to my house.

I'm not going to take any chances.

All righty. You're going to be safe.

What am I going to say to Sherry?

Nothing for now.

I'm going to put that APB out on Fisher
statewide.

Somehow I don't think it's going to be a
police officer who brings him in.

How you doing, Sherry?

Where's my dad?

We're trying to locate him.

Where's David?

Why can't I talk to David?

He's still being questioned by one of
our officers.

Why wouldn't anybody tell me what
happened at the warehouse?

We're trying to figure that out for
ourselves.

Look, Sherry, unfortunately, I can't
release you until you've been examined

doctor. Look, there's nothing wrong with
me.

It's procedure.

Officer Kelly will take you over to
Eastbridge Memorial.

Stan.

Take Sherry here over to Eastbridge
Memorial, please. Sure.

David. Sherry.

How you doing?

I gotta go to the hospital.

Guess that shows a pretty lame place to
hide out, huh?

What happened there?

I'll see you later.

Come on, pick it up.

Hello, is this Louisa?

Hello,

this is Police Commissioner Scali. Is
Mr. Fisher in?

No, Mr. Fisher's not home.

Well, could you tell him that we're
bringing Sherry to Eastbridge Memorial

Hospital, please?

Sherry? We don't know yet.

Please give him that message.

I will, thank you.

We're going to see what kind of
concerned Father Gideon Fisher really

All right, Ricky.

Help yourself to anything in the
kitchen. If you hear from Sid, wake me

You got it, boss.

Night.

Night.

I'm glad you're home safely.

But I'm also real disappointed, chap.

Running away like that was... I know.

Not being able to see her.

We decided we were going to come back in
the morning.

That's not good enough.

It's going to happen, Dad.

She's never going to understand when I
tell her what I saw tonight.

She thinks her dad's perfect.

Whether she believes it or not is up to
her.

Is there any other way for you to get
him so I don't have to testify?

No, there isn't.

And I know how she's going to react.

She'll never speak to me again.

Then don't testify.

This is all on you now, David.

You're old enough to make your own
choices.

Hopefully your mother and I have done
our jobs so you make the right ones, but

we can't do it for you.

It's called growing up.

I'm Sherry Fisher's father. Is she okay?
She's fine. Where is she? Room 214. But

she's asleep.

I'm sorry it took me so long to get
here.

I was so worried about you.

Do you forgive me?

You know I do.

It'll never happen again.

I promise.

You know I love you more than anything,
don't you?

You're my whole world.

And I love you, Dad.

My business is getting very complicated
lately.

So I'm sending you to Grandma Eileen's.

For a while.

Great.

Will I get to miss school?

Go to sleep.

I'll see you in the morning.

Thank you for letting me say goodbye.

Yeah.

You have the right to remain silent.

You got that right?

I spoke to my dad this morning.

He told me something at the warehouse
the other night.

He told you?

David, he was there looking for us.

Whatever you thought you saw.

I know what I saw, Sherry. No, you
don't.

You made a mistake.

And it's okay.

But you have to tell your dad you were
wrong.

I can't do that.

It's my responsibility to tell the
truth.

If you testify against my father, he'll
go to jail.

He's innocent, David.

Don't you care about me?

Of course I do.

I'll have to move away and live with my
grandmother.

We'll never see each other again.

Sorry, Sherry.

I hate you, David.

I hate you so much.

I sat down to write this speech about a
hundred times, but it never came out

right.

Someone told me to write what I feel,
but I didn't know what I felt.

Still don't.

The world is so full of wonderful
things, but also terrible, confusing

all mixed together.

Growing up is the hardest thing to do.

You can be a good person and do the
right thing.

You still hurt the ones that you love
the most.

I haven't figured it all out yet, but I
feel like I'm learning.

I've had so much support from so many
people this past year.

I want to thank Rabbi Marin, Cantor
Kagan.

But it is my parents that I need to
thank the most.

For their love, their support.

and their decency.

They have given me the greatest gift
that a parent can give a child.

They are the models that I choose to
pattern myself after.

They are the people I want to be like.

I honor them and say to them what so
many have said before me.

Today, I've become a man.
