It's the woman who adopted my daughter.

She's Kenny.

It's Eileen.

She's very sick.

Simbrano, right?

Yeah. Supervisor at the 5 -5.

Well, I wasn't until you guys sent Doc back to take over.

Hawker? The brass wanted to do whatever was going to make me happy, so you're

right.

He's not a supervisor.

He was demoted.

The best bet is a bomb. I'm a biological donor.

I'll do it. I'll do anything.

Any history of cancer in your family? I grew up in foster care.

I don't know who my family is.

Why are you lying to all of us?

I'm sorry.

You weren't a match for Kylie.

All right, here's a ground ball.

Health code section 43122.

Feeding pigeons in public prohibited.

Tickets for bird feeding?

Now that's real police work.

It's quality of life summons.

All this is going to do is leave a bunch of hungry pigeons.

You want to save the pigeons now?

Meaning? Saving things of what you do.

I'm just talking about how our time should be spent. You're talking about

with wings getting breadcrumbs.

Is that my boy Zeke over there?

Let's walk, take a new site.

I see your boy Zeke. Good enough from here. Fine, but while you're increasing

the city's revenue, Officer Bloomberg, I'll be taking a stroll.

A little advice from someone who's been a cop longer.

Oh, I can't wait.

Nothing good comes from walking around out there.

It'll only take a few minutes.

Yeah, I'm cool.

What, no lecture on how I should have found her on my own time?

Wasting city money doing personal stuff?

Where do you get that, huh? I mean, as long as there's no calls coming in.

I just can't get a handle on you lately.

What do you mean?

What do I mean? Yeah, what do you mean? I mean you're all over the place. You're

up, you're down, you're hot, you're cold. Hey, hey, yo, Carlos, it's your

daughter, right? I'm with you. Whatever we...

Got to do to get back on the street I'm willing to do.

You know, if Vanjie Fisher's not a match, I don't know what I'm going to

When's the last time you saw her?

She dumped Kylie on me.

Called her place. Roommate said she's got classes all day.

Then let's just go, all right? See if she can help. If she has to.

Oh, come on, officer. That's pretty close. Cut me a break, man. That's

Look, the law does not say pretty close.

He doesn't stay somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 feet from a hydrant.

straight now, dog?

All right, then.

Back in business, huh, Zeke?

Yo, Sasha.

No, no, no. That's my grandmama.

Hey, how you doing, grandmama dog?

You still working them two jobs with that bad hip because you're good for

nothing grandson can't get an honest job instead of stuffing phones so people

can't get their change?

Hello?

Hello? Oh,

man, we might have killed grandmama dog.

Home's clear.

Don't waste your potential.

Call this guy.

Drop my name.

He'll hook you up.

Toll collector, huh? You have experience handling change.

What are you doing?

What are you going to do?

Have a nice day.

This ain't right.

Feels pretty right to me.

Notify Central. We're going to pick up that disturbance. What disturbance?

Don't act like you don't hear that.

They need the police to call.

5 -5 David to Central. We're picking up a dispute at 149 Waverly. We're going to

volunteer for jobs now?

Fasteners got nothing like stuff. They're not taking these.

Hey, hang on a second. What's going on here?

Ask him.

No, I'm asking you.

What's going on?

I don't want to serve us anymore.

Who cares? Do you want to press charges for disturbing?

Look, I don't want no trouble.

It gets denied.

They're trying to shut us out.

good news napkin boy he won't press charges so long as you go away now so go

wanted me involved i'm involved disturbance over i'm not leaving without

stuff see this logo that's us that's me and my pop you rent them out when

they're on my table they're mine hey hey hey get out of here all right this is a

civil matter now all right go hire attorneys go see judge judy i don't care

right thank you officer boscarelli boscarelli figures

What did you say?

Well, he can feed you or clothe you.

Did he just accuse us of taking a payoff?

Hey, pal.

You do not want to be throwing accusations around.

You hear me?

Did they steal this stuff from you or are they renting it? It's complicated.

Enlighten us. You know what? Enlighten her. I could care less. Nobody does.

Boo -hoo.

If you want to file a police report, I'll let them.

We're to hurry anyway.

And that's what you get for getting out and walking.

and you choose attempted murder?

I wasn't trying to murder anybody.

Any play that I may have given you went straight through that window with the

truck. When you're done fondling the raging bull, your transport is here.

Oh, my goodness.

What did you do this time, Bosco? No, no. No, this was not me.

I'm ready.

It will be a while.

Monroe's got a mountain of paperwork to do.

I'm not telling people. Look, I'm driving. No way. This thing is your

fault? If you weren't so busy trying to do nothing all day long, we could have

made... Nothing? Tickets are not nothing. They are when there's real

to be done. Girls, girls, there's no reason to argue.

I'll take them off your hands.

Full arrest, paperwork included.

Since when are you so generous? Building up overtime for retirement.

You're pulling the pen?

Next summer.

It's all yours.

Uh, Sully, sorry.

He's my caller. I gotta sort this one out. We watched him drive a truck into a

restaurant. What's the sort out?

Can you put him in the processing cage?

Got it.

You're ignoring me now? Would that I could.

What the hell does that mean?

Good luck.

I'm going to need it. Talking to Sasha.

This won't be long.

I'll get your radio on.

Miss Sundstrom.

I'm sorry to scare you. I know it's been a while since we talked, but...

Carlos Nieto?

Kylie? Oh, yeah.

What's wrong?

Well, see, she's, um... I can't take her back. I mean, I... I just can't.

No, no, no, I'm not asking to. It's not that. She's sick.

She has aplastic anemia.

What's that?

Well, it's like leukemia. She needs a bone marrow transplant.

What do you mean?

I'm not a mat, so I can't donate. So I need you to come down and get tested.

She's going to die if she doesn't get the transplant.

I can't give it to her.

She's your sister's daughter. Come on.

I have hepatitis.

Hepatitis C. I got it from a piercing.

A piercing?

Do you have any other family?

Parents, brothers, sisters, anything?

None.

That's why I had to give Kylie up.

Is she really going to die?

Ma, Ma, quit yelling. I know.

I just lost it.

I'm sorry. I screwed up, Ma.

It's all my fault.

You're that much.

Let me get you a tissue.

My pop's on his way.

Is it okay if he gets the linen out of my truck so he can finish deliveries?

The truck and everything inside stays put.

Why has he got a beef at your hard -ass?

Because his mother dropped him. On purpose.

Now finish telling me about this Nardo linen.

Our customers.

Like this DeMonte, okay?

They put our dirties out for pickup.

But before we can get him, Nardo's crew snatches him up. Puts a match to him.

We keep asking DeMonte to put him out back. Even gave him a lockbox.

Nardo tells him otherwise.

So why doesn't this DeMonte just rent his stuff from Nardo?

Taking our customers isn't enough.

Nardo wants to hurt us.

And you've reported this before?

I must have 15 report numbers.

My father really needs our stuff.

Please.

Don't start.

This is a mom -and -pop outfit. They need that linen. You know the procedure.

I also know the system. They're not going to get their stuff back for

That's my problem, too. Don't you have any obligation to your own?

My own?

Tansy, he's Italian.

Our name's in an eval, and you expect me to give them special attention?

The guy's not getting any attention.

He's filed 15 reports, Bosco. You know what?

Detectives follow up all 61s. It's not my fault that they don't find this guy's

dirty laundry all that important.

The dirty laundry is what puts food on our table.

I'm here to pick up my son.

Cut the kid loose.

Are you serious?

When am I not?

Father's agreed to pay for the damage, so the complainant dropped the charges.

That's the do -right. I'm tired of us getting pushed around.

Next time you use your head instead of the gas pedal, okay?

You can go.

This is America, Pop.

An auto should not have a lock on the industry.

I'm sorry that my son wasted your time like this. I really am. Let's go.

You know the difference between you and me? You think there's only one? I treat

everyone the same.

It don't matter where they're from or what color they are. You really believe

that? Yeah, I do. It's true. You wish you knew yourself that well, Bosco. Just

because my family left the boot doesn't mean I got olive oil in my veins.

I could care less about that crap, especially when it comes to doing the

You really don't have any connection to your heritage?

Sure I do.

I love pizza.

I like spaghetti.

I like Goodfellas and two out of the three Godfathers. Pass that.

I'm about as Italian as you are.

We had a well -being check on 109.

A well -being check. This is exactly what I need right now.

Check out some Jesus, man.

We got a job to do. How are they going to die? You don't know that.

You know, the list is national. In the whole country, there's got to be one.

You know, how could one kid be so unlucky as to be born to a one -sibling

and a foster care reject who has no family? Huh?

What about your real family?

What? Your biological family.

Oh, I spend about as much time looking for them as they spend looking for me.

How do you know that?

Just a guess.

So you've never checked your foster care records? Being rejected once in life is

enough. Come on with the sob story.

What? You know, hasn't it occurred to you that when you gave Kylie up, it

because you didn't want her? These people didn't see me into a good home

send me birthday presents every year.

Doc, they dumped me on the Red Cross's doorstep.

Now, the Red Cross, you know, it may be a lot of good things, but I'm pretty

sure that they're not going to be a blood match for Kylie.

So you've never checked the records to see if there was anything there? Never

cared enough.

Well, do you care enough now?

Where's your partner?

In the RMP reading a patrol guide.

He actually carries that book around with him?

And the BTL, administrative code, and the latest legal bulletin. He's on some

sort of summons mission.

Just when I think I'm too old to be surprised.

Open 61's loop.

All yours.

OCCB got any open cases on Nardo Lennon? Why, you know something we don't? They

might be trying to squeeze out their competition.

Might be.

Don't count on a gold shield with that jewel.

Nardo Lennon's mopped up.

Old man Nardo's kid took over the crew a couple years ago. Runs it out of Cafe

Roma. Working it?

Why?

I just handled a job with a linen service guy. Said he saw the bunch of

Nardo about him stealing his merchandise and burning it.

Nardo's a punk.

They'll fall eventually. They always do.

These guys are like cockroaches. You know, you step on one, a hundred more of

them come out from underneath the sink.

So we do nothing?

I usually recommend someone like your napkin guy find another line of work.

These people don't mess around.

Do I have this right?

Carlos Nieto, date of birth, 5 -11 -75.

You have something?

Not what you want, I'm afraid.

That agency's records were lost in a fire January of 73 through March of 76.

Are you kidding me? What do you mean, that agency?

We're not the same Kittredge Foundation that assumed custody of Mr. Nieto. Our

agency merely took on the name after purchasing their contracts in 1983.

So all my records are gone.

The fire was one of the reasons they went out of business.

There's no paper on you, no computer files, no microphone.

There's got to be some other way.

There's a woman, Harding, ran one of the group homes I was in.

Harding, you said?

Middle -aged black woman.

I lived in a bunch of homes after that, but hers is the first I can remember.

Lucinda Harding.

You have her?

She lives in Hollis, Queens.

Hollis, Queens.

Come on. No.

Oh, come on. Espresso's on me.

You don't even drink coffee. All right, how about a biscotti, then?

You know what?

Wait.

You're going to start with white guys now?

I'm just going to talk.

They're not going to talk to you. Well, then they're going to listen.

5 -5 David to Central. Put this unit out at 385 Broom.

Follow up on an earlier dispute.

Hey, hold up back there.

Made friends already?

Let me see some ID.

You can't just storm in here and ask for ID, all right? See that note right

there? He's already copying down your shield number.

80416.

Officer Buscarelli. Ali Nardo.

Want me to offer you a drink or something?

I would much rather talk about Nardo Lennon. Ah, the partner of space.

She does more than that. Have you ever heard of the phrase restraint of trade?

Oh, is this a business school quiz?

Because I got to warn you, I ain't really studied.

Here, go on. Let's have a word in the back, all right?

I'll handle you, thank you. No, I'm not just letting him blow me off. You can't

question this guy in front of his whole crew, all right? Just stay here, and

I'll be back.

The girl standing over there, give me the Malochio.

It's not my girl.

And I don't really know what Malochio means.

Come on.

Leave a line.

I only speak English.

I thought you was Italian.

I'm Italian.

That boy sticks you with a moulinane, huh? Tough break.

Bye. Yeah, don't tell me you don't know moulinane either.

No, that one I got.

You got it? Yeah.

And if you're referring to that New York City police office over there, we got

problems, all right? You all get the urge for a little chocolate cannoli now

then, but a steady diet of that, my friend, could kill you. So could

her again.

Come on, relax, Prezant. No, I'm not your Python, Jagoff.

Man, I could like you.

You've been hassling a kid named Tansy over napkins? I don't hassle nobody.

Yeah, it's becoming my problem. That's not good for you. It's not good for me?

No, it's not good for you. Not good for me, huh? Not good at all.

Where are you going?

Are you leaving already? We just started to connect here.

You just leave the Tansy family alone.

Hey, enjoy the eggplant.

Eggplant? Never mind.

Doesn't look familiar.

Close four.

This old lady could have lived in a giant shoe and it wouldn't look

Yes, may I help you?

Are you Mrs. Harding?

What can I do for you?

Mrs. Harding, my name is Monty Parker. This is Carlos Nieto. We're paramedics

with the FDNY.

Well, Carlos used to live here. Come on, step up there, man. You recognize him?

Forgive me.

I've had as many as 100 children in and out of here over the years.

All right, well, this would have been around 25 years ago, right?

Carlos?

Yeah,

about that, Miss Hardy.

You remember me?

Didn't expect to, but yeah.

Well, come on in, then. Maybe my memory just needs a jump start.

Come on, man, get up there.

What's up?

You had a marshmallow?

The truck looks familiar.

Oh, no.

Under the tarp.

Careful, it's hot, but it's still hot.

Which one is it, the father or the son?

Maybe you can tell.

Important enough to you yet?

Always made it a rule not to get too attached.

Spared me the heartbreak when the government moved a child out to another

You helped 100 kids?

At least. Sometimes 15 at a time.

I'd get them young, and they'd move on when they grew, or it got

to be too much.

or too crowded now this might be

you here i remember that little one

oh man look at that

oh those ears the boys teased him something terrible they called him cups

because they stuck out like that cups

Now, that was a brooding child if I ever saw one.

Sweet enough, but not so affectionate.

Always off on his own, sort of self -involved.

Well, you've come a long way, Cup.

Um, Mrs. Harding, the reason why I, uh... I was told that the Red Cross

me here.

Yeah?

That rings a bell.

The Red Cross did drop that boy here.

Boy's father had been killed, as I recall.

What? Give me back that book.

His father?

At least that was what we assumed.

The volunteer that brought the boy here said that he was holding the dead man's

hand on the street when the police found him.

Now here it is. Here it is.

Hit and run.

The man had no papers and no ID.

No mother?

I'm sure they put out a search for one, but she never turned up.

Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Let me have it.

I can do that.

No.

It has to be me.

Come on, please.

Hello?

Who's there?

Tom.

Mr. Tanvey, what's he done now?

He damaged the truck again?

He can't afford any more damages.

What's he doing to you, son?

Let's see, Michael.

Does he wear a chain like this?

Is he arrested again?

Because I will speak to who?

And if he damaged anything, then I will pay for it.

Out.

I will pay for it.

I will pay for it.

a picture.

Okay.

I was up half the night staring at that stupid newspaper clipping.

Even dead, I wish I would have taken a picture of my father just so I could see

him. You know?

Whatever. Wouldn't have done Kylie any good.

That's it.

Let's see. Hold on.

Let's go.

Carlos Nieto?

Right there.

then you'd be Monty Parker.

Monty Parker.

Doc, who's this? I'm Ingrid Diaz with New York One. We're here to tell your

story. My story?

You told them?

I had to get the word out.

Now, what I'd love is to get you standing by the ambulance with those

playing in the background.

What am I supposed to be doing?

Mr. Parker told us about Kylie's dilemma, and when we heard her birth

a member of FDNY... You want me to talk about Kylie?

Come on, let's get this over with. It's worth a shot.

And if it pulls the right strings, affiliates from across the country will

to run the story, too.

Now, how you sell it means everything with these on -air appeals.

My daughter needs a bone marrow. I need to fill that. This is a rare opportunity

to use television as the ultimate communication tool that it is.

And who wouldn't want to do everything in their power to save your daughter's

life?

I called OCCB this morning.

Yeah.

They're going to be looking hard at Nardo for the killing.

Looking hard at him, huh?

That's what they said, hard.

I think I'm going to do a little more than look at him.

They asked that we stay away.

And you think we're going to do that?

I hope not.

That greasy punk needs a smile wiped off his face.

I've been told my father died in an accident about 25 years ago on the west

side, hit by a car.

That's all I know. I have no other family, no other blood relation that I

of.

So if anyone out there thinks that they know something about me or my family,

I need a matching donor for my daughter, Kylie.

I don't want anything else.

She needs help.

Thanks.

If you can help, please call the number on your screen.

Live with Carlos Nieto, a paramedic with Squad 55 of the New York City Fire

Department, I'm Ingrid Diaz. Back to you, Chuck.

No.

My son gave up a good paying job to carry bundles on his back, so I didn't

to. I told you it's a tragedy.

Is there a fund that I can contribute to? Maybe I can give you some food for

funeral. You're an animal! Mr. Tansey, Mr. Tansey, come with us. We're gonna

take you home. That's a good idea. Before you say something you might

keep my mouth shut if I were you, Aloysius.

You were scared of my son, not me. You were scared of the competition, scared

a hard day's work. Hey, come on, sometime today, huh, Bosco? These two

obviously in the box. More than anything, you're afraid of honest

my son, who wouldn't lay down for you.

I'm not afraid of anybody, old man. Shut your mouth in my restaurant over here.

You're going to let this couple get you all worked up, Aloysius, huh?

My name is Alex. Not according to your sheet, Aloysius.

Escort these people out of my restaurant, officer.

They're disturbing my customers.

That's a good idea. Good idea.

Go back to your one -bedroom tenant apartment, that hard worker, aren't you?

got a funeral to plan.

You son of a...

Finally. Where the hell have you been?

I've got a job.

What's it all do?

You know, the news flashes its own 800 number on the screen, but it's our phone

that doesn't stop ringing.

Here.

Is this from today? Yep. No one actually claiming to be related, but everybody

there wants to help. Psychics, private investigators, single women.

Two straight up crackpots.

And you wrote them all down?

Well, you never know. I mean, they must be running the spot wide.

Check out the area codes.

D .C., Florida, Pennsylvania.

You're gonna have to hire an operator.

Your son told these officers that you were being pushed around.

Was that Alinardo?

What does that matter now?

We need something we can go after him on. This is how many times my son went

the police. I told him the police don't care about us.

Why, my boy was stubborn.

You want the people responsible?

You're responsible.

All of you.

Don't let them get away with this.

They already have.

My son's dead.

No.

No.

No, sir, it's not that I don't, um... No, of course I do.

Of course I do.

What?

Another one?

Yeah, a lot of these people seem to think I'm being punished because I

yet accepted the Lord Jesus Christ into my heart.

Do they all like that?

No, some of them say they're going to go down and get tested in case. I mean, I

don't even know. It's pretty amazing.

You gonna keep at this all night?

Well, I just finished the ones from the firehouse. Let's have all these from the

TV station to go through.

Well, you don't want me to stay, right?

No. No, you've done enough. Thanks.

See ya.

There's another world inside of me that you may never see.

There are secrets in this life that I can't hide.

Somewhere in this darkness, there's a light that I can't find.

Maybe it's too far away.

Maybe I'm just blind.

Maybe I'm just blind.

So hold me when I'm here. Rob me when I'm wrong.

Hold me when I'm scared.

And love me when I'm gone.

Everything I am and everything in me won't be the one you wanted me to be.

never let you down, even if I could.

Squad 55.

Hello. I'm looking for Carlos Nieto. What can I do for you?

You mean him?

Yeah, this is me. It's the one you saw on the news. And if you're calling to

tell me to accept Jesus, your 15 phone call is too late.

No, I don't know quite how to say this, but... Ma 'am.

Your eyes.

Your nose.

My nose.

Remember your blanket?

It was your favorite.

Who is this?

My father?

The minute I saw you, I think I knew. I just knew it. You what?

Carlos, baby, this is your mother.

There he is. There he is.

Pasquarelli.

What the hell are you doing here? I brought a gift to the guy that saved my

life. Chocolate canone.

You think?

Right on cue.

You got some nerve coming down here. It's a public building. Get out. Is it

that old man Tansy's already back home? The D .A. didn't think we needed to keep

an old man in a simple weapons possession.

What about attempted murder? He tried to kill me.

He must have forgot to put that in the report.

Yeah, that's not right, Officer Boscarelli. If that old man so much as

himself shaving, I'll be putting you away forever.

That cuts me deep, Paisan. Really.

You know what?

I'm going to leave these right here.

And that's the tip of the iceberg, believe me.

Allie Nott on those that are return of favor. If you're not here on official

police business, leave.

You know where to find me.

Take care, sweetie.

Yeah, we'll talk to you later.

Oh, yeah.

I had an idea last night.

Really? Let's go talk to Swirsky.

Thanks for covering me, Levine.

Oh, how can I say no?

Still can't believe it.

What?

What, do I look okay?

I haven't slept.

Very handsome.

When's her flight?

She gets in at 7 at JFK.

7?

Whoa, that's three hours.

Why don't you go lay down?

Oh, no, I can't.

I should go home and maybe a suit.

Your clothes look fine.

Just relax, breathe.

This is way more than I ever expected.

Yeah, it's kind of like a miracle.

It is, isn't it?

So, what did she say? I mean, where's she been? Does she know about your

Well, there was a lot she didn't know.

She was young.

Stuff happened. It got complicated.

It was weird, but it was like I knew her.

I felt it, you know? The minute that I heard her voice, the way that she was

crying, begging me to forgive her, I just knew it was her.

She knew it, too.

Enough to hop right on a plane.

She was going to catch the bus.

Can you believe that from L .A.?

She sounded kind of broke.

I have it for you, fellas.

Thanks for everything, Doc.

10 -5 -5 -3. Difficulty breathing. 104 and Henry in the fruit market.

10 -4.

Let's go, Doc.

Hey,

you have fun. Don't forget to breathe.

Thanks again, Levine. Go meet your mom.

My mom.

You think that will work?

Look at his sheet, boss.

It would be enough to violate the parole. If we get enough people

I think it's perfect.

How many agencies?

Let's start with all of them.

This is an everybody wins situation.

Downtown, CompStat.

We're not stepping on anything OCCB has going. We need you to make the call,

boss.

You guys. You guys go get your ammo.

Here you go, Joey.

Hey, Batman and Blackbird.

Looking for refills on the cannoli?

What is this guy?

Looks like he owns the place.

Hey, you two over here. Hey, oh, we got customers here. Well, then you better

put on an apron.

How old are you?

Fourteen. Thirteen.

Call your parents and tell them to come pick you up. What the hell is going on

here?

Huh? Ali Nardo, you're in violation of state and federal labor laws.

Children under the age of 16 working past sundown. Can't do that.

That's the best you could do?

Gotta sell someone. No.

Is there an Aloysius Nardo here?

Hey, my name is Ali. Hey, don't lose your temper, Aloysius. Lieutenant

FDNY. I came here to purge your last fire inspection.

I was out of town.

I gave you a phone call.

DK, sprinklers and extinguishers, all right? Got it, boy.

Walshie, smoke detectors, fire exits? I'm on it. The rest of you guys, why

you check the kitchen's exhaust system? Let's just make sure everything's up to

code, all right?

You got time for this?

Slow night.

Just not for you, Ali.

You think you're cute, Buscarelli, coming in here and embarrassing me in

of our people here?

Our people?

These months are your people, Allie. My people are the kind you've been trying

to squeeze out of business. Yeah, I don't know nothing about that. Yeah,

see about that. Yeah, we will see about that. Go ahead, go on, rip up the place.

You think I care?

Oh, I was planning renovations anyway.

And tomorrow when you're nursing the blisters on your fingers, I'll be in

Beach soaking up the rays.

I don't know about that, Aloysius.

Yeah, me either. I don't know about that.

It's substandard refrigeration, courtesy of the New York City Health Department.

You, too.

A real proud of yourself, huh?

You're going to be in about, what, ten seconds?

Yeah. For what? Get over there. Come on.

Picket? Come on.

Some of which are A misdemeanors.

Yeah? Oh, and I guess somebody ran the plate numbers of your clientele, passed

them on to the U .S. Attorney's Office, socialized with convicted felons. That's

a violation of federal parole, right?

You little son of a bitch.

This ain't over yet. Yeah, if not, I'm going to be in your life a lot, Paisan,

lot. We're going to be like, you know, Goomba, bud. Okay, here.

This is the final boarding announcement for flight 62 to Orlando.

This is the final boarding announcement for flight 62 to Orlando.

Hey. Hey. Shift's over.

Yeah.

I was calling yourself, but you weren't answering. You know what? The signal is

hit or miss. I go out every now and then to check on messages, you know? I

didn't leave any.

She missed her flight?

Yeah, must have.

There's another flight coming in from L .A. in an hour.

Well, we can check the counter, see if she's on it. Oh, she is.

You asked?

Yeah, she asked to be.

Say she sounded broke?

Yeah.

Did you charge the ticket?

With my limit?

Last second ticket, coast to coast?

How'd you buy it then?

Uh, I wired her some money.

A thousand bucks.

Last minute airfares aren't cheap.

I know.

Maybe she really did miss it.

She's on this flight.

Amy.

Yeah.

Nice job.

I don't know how long they're going to be able to keep him. Yeah, well, taking

guy like Nardo off the street for one minute's better than nothing.

That's doing right by my people.

So now they're your people.

Look, I'm proud of my heritage.

When my grandfather got off the boat from Ponza, they handed him a broom and

they said, start sweeping.

And he turned that into a life for himself, for his family, an honest life.

That was your father's dad.

Yeah, but then it was guys like my dad who went and spoiled it. You know, the

wannabe wise guys, always playing big shot. You know, the arrogant, cocky, big

mouth.

Look, I spent my whole life trying to separate myself from that crap.

And if you're Italian, everyone thinks you're one step away from having mob

ties. And the TV, the movies, they all glorify guys like Nardo.

You know? He's a tough guy.

He's a gangster.

Not always. Come on. Oh, yeah?

You name me one famous Italian cop.

Columbo.

Later. Ciao.

That's what you get.
