All language subtitles for Cagney and Lacey s01e02 Pop Used to Work Chinatown

You call these flank homes?

Ain't that the way they say it goes?
Ain't that the way?

You gotta make a bet when a place will
show you can't play.

Even when you know you're gonna lose, it
ain't tax exempt, it ain't even dues.

Ain't that the way?

didn't i tell you to keep your eyes
closed knock it off

Unit 312?

Lady? Lady, you all right? Let me just
check the kids, okay? Let me just take a

look at them. It's all right. The
ambulance is on its way. Don't worry

Let me just check out the kids, all
right? You okay, baby? Huh?

You were scared, huh? I was scared, too.

All right.

Silver, gray, four -door, full -size
sedan.

License plate, New York, 32.

Boston, David.

Last two numbers missing.

How could you tell they were Chinese if
they wore schema?

Couldn't you have told if they'd been
blacked?

Me again.

Why can't they leave me alone?

Look, I just came in to make change.

Honest. This is the second time I've
been robbed.

Don't ask me to describe anything except
a gun.

What kind of gun was it?

Big.

Mrs. Lee, you were the only one they had
any conversation with. Why?

Conversation? You were the only one they
talked to.

They saw me looking at them. They?

What do you mean, they?

He saw me.

What did he say?

He told me to close my eyes.

They had masks on.

Was he afraid you might see?

He wasn't afraid. I was afraid.

Of course you were.

I was afraid for my baby.

Could I be excused?

Of course you can.

We don't have any more questions, do we,
Chris?

No. All you have to do is mention the
baby and you turn

into the Tower of Jell -O.

Just what is it you think that this
frightened pregnant girl can tell us

these completely masked bad guys?

You're snob. You think I can't
understand how that girl feels just

not a member of the Great Fraternity of
Motherhood?

I think you mean sorority, don't you?

Yeah.

Yes, I do.

You let me in on a joke and don't tell
me I wouldn't understand.

You'd understand, but you couldn't do
it. Couldn't do what?

Huh? I can do anything.

Hot in there.

You know, you shouldn't do that. That's
very bad for you. Going from hot to cold

like that makes you more susceptible to
catching a cold. Is that so?

I'll tell you what we'll do. We'll
finish up here. We'll go back to that 23

cents a pound orange place. We'll get
you more of those. Load you up with

vitamin C.

Detective Cagney, Lacey.

Hey, I already talked to the man. Good.

Now you can talk to me.

I didn't see a thing.

But I saw you, Mr. Lewis.

I was afraid we might shoot you.

Don't make us sorry we didn't. Well,
what do you want to say that for?

Because you're not telling her the
truth, Mr. Lewis.

The car used in the bank robbery was
parked almost in your lap. I want a

description of the driver.

If you're frightened, we can arrange
protection for you. I didn't see

and that's all there's to it.

I and Mary can tell them.

Yeah. Yeah, but if I'm late, in this
case, you can start without me.

I promise.

Coleman Festival.

Yes, ma 'am.

I will give Sergeant Peekley the
message. Thank you.

Stacy, 14th. Uh -huh. Oh, hi. Charlie.
Yeah.

She's right here.

Correct? To that.

Yeah, hi, Pop.

What are you doing?

Uh, oh, uh, hey, I'm kind of tired.

Uh... Yeah, okay.

I'll be there in ten minutes.

Are you aware of what you're doing? I'm
aware. The thing is not time to open for

another ten minutes, and I need a
cigarette.

Now! If you can't, quick cold turkey,
you can at least use the timer box like

you promised.

Does that bother you?

Come to a melon, huh?

Charlie asked me to join him for a
drink.

A drink?

Don't you mean a drunk?

Come on, he's lonely.

He just wants to hoist a couple with his
number one son.

Tell it like it was when he was a cop.
There's no harm in that. No, no harm in

that, except when you get drunk with
him, he gets to go and lay in bed the

morning, you get to come to work half
day.

Think he's taking advantage?

Chris, I love your dad. He's a real
charmer. But what do you want to be his

for?

What's the matter with being a daughter?

Oh, daughters are supposed to whip up
daddy some homemade stew while sons get

belly up to the bar with him. All right,
okay, you got me. Go down there, drink

them all under the table for all I care.
But don't ask me to go.

Brian Kelso, and he says, are you trying
to show contempt for this court?

No, says Kelso.

I'm trying to hide it.

Hiya, Charlie.

Hi, kid, how are you?

I thought you said you were alone. I
was, I was, until five minutes ago. Hey,

Frank, move over to my daughter's. Hey,
Frank, nice to see you again. Fellas,

you know my daughter, Christina, or
Officer Daughter, as I call her

Hey, Solly, what's everyone having? This
rounds up to me. Ah, oh, hold it.

Your money's no good here, kid. Solly,
give her a beer.

You got it.

Draft.

How you doing, Pop?

I don't suppose it ever occurred to you
they had to wait until I retired before

they tried to knock off a bank in
Chinatown?

Charlie, how many things like that went
down when this was my beat?

I can't remember any, Charlie. Why'd you
can't remember any? You want to know

why you can't remember any? Because it
never happened. You want to know why it

never happened?

Because Charles Fitzgerald Cagney would
rouse them before they could spend a

dime of the loot.

I gotta go.

I'll be right back. You wait right here,
Mr.

Detective. Oh, I almost forgot. Here.

Some of that peanut brittle from your
ranch you like so much.

Peanut brittle.

I haven't liked that stuff in years.

What's this about bank robbery?

You can't figure it out?

No, I can't figure it out.

Your dad's going to help you crack that
Chinese bank robbery.

Charlie?

He's retired.

Chris.

For someone like your old man who's
always been right in the thick of the

action, retirement is a very boring way
of dying.

He's close to 70.

Tell him that.

You know, when I retired from the
department after my accident, I thought

would go absolutely crazy until I found
out that O'Malley wanted to sell this

bar.

I guess I called my son once a day. I
mean, at least, while he was in

Just to hear him ask me for something.

You know, when they forced me into
retirement, you know what the first

did?

Signed up for an answering service.

Just so I could leave messages for
myself.

Talking about yourself, Dolly.

Not my father.

Oh, I hope you know

this means this is ample provocation for
changing my will.

Papa, isn't this your night to play gin?

Officer, daughter, tomorrow I am going
to teach you about real police work.

You and I are going down to the
Chinatown I know, and I'm going to help

solve that bank robbery.

Eat your peanut, bro.

Come in, my dear.

Champagne is cold and my blood runs warm
with anticipation.

Oh, Harv.

You look just like George Hamilton.

Where are the kids?

Across the hall of Mrs. Hamlisch.

And I'm appearing as America's most
attractive, seductive male for one night

only.

May I pour?

Yes, you may pour.

You may also tell me what's going on.

Paradise. You got it. What's going on?

Well, the reason I can be Mr. Wonderful
for tonight only is that tomorrow

morning I have an appointment to build a
skyscraper.

You're kidding.

There are two things I don't kid about.
My job and my hot blood.

Oh, that's wonderful.

What about your inner ear imbalance?

I bet I'm talking about undreamed of
erotic... pleasures you're talking

my inner ear.

You are absolutely right.

First things first.

I think I'll, uh, slip into something a
little more comfortable.

Like nothing.

Bobby? Yeah?

I love you.

Now hurry.

The toast is burning.

They said you had a learning problem.
Would you take it out, please?

Daddy, now I'll bring the toast.

Oh, I love wise guys in the morning.

Thank you.

Give me my lunch. I'm going to be late.

What, no breakfast? I got fresh juices
for you. I got no time.

I don't want my news, Dad.

I'm walking you to the door. My
pleasure.

Give us a kiss, huh?

I want to put your hat on.

I love you.

Have a terrific day, and be careful,
huh?

I only have to worry when I'm high on
lust.

Harv, I'm serious. You haven't worked up
high in over a year.

I'm not gonna. I got a ground job. Will
you relax?

Okay. Okay.

Be happy. Work hard, huh? Get out of
here.

And you're really behaving.

And then they give you homework.

Mm -hmm. All right, fellas, that's it.

You get your lunches.

I'm driving you to school.

We'll get breakfast.

Somewhere.

There you go.

I get the front.

No, I get the front.

You did it last time.

So I'm your older brother. I should get
the front.

You will sit where I tell you to sit.

Because I'm an officer of the law. Go.

7 .30 in the morning.

Good afternoon.

I was just about to call a missing
person.

Listen, the way things are going, I'm
lucky to be here at all. You know it's

easy being a housewife and a detective?

It's not a snap being a daughter and a
detective either. Oh, you've got to tell

me about that. However...

Hot news.

Harvey Lacey is back into construction
on the new satellite towers building

starting today.

Oh, Mary Beth, that's great.

You must be walking on air. Oh, I hope
not. He promised me it was a ground job.

LaGuardia, what are you nodding at?

I've been thinking about what you said.

It ain't easy being a housewife and a
detective.

It's the same for a bachelor.

What do we got?

Ah, the ski masks.

Photographed like a million bucks. You
can see little snowflakes and

That's it?

So far, yeah.

So what about the car?

Car. There were five silver -gray four
-door sedans stolen over the last couple

of days.

All makes. The plates don't come close.

Ours are the one with the bullet holes.

So what do you think, huh?

How many stores in Chinatown do you
suppose sell ski masks?

That's very good, Mary Beth.

Very good. We should check that out.

So how is O'Malley? You don't look so
bad. I'm not. Call it over. Thank you.

just wanted to talk.

But you'll never guess about what.

He's getting married again.

No. He thinks you should get married.
No.

I give up. He very graciously offered to
help us crack this case.

Are you serious?

Is he serious?

Not that far off base. I mean, he did
work Chinatown for years. It's only

natural that he should want to... Yeah,
yeah, yeah. So how do you feel about it?

I'm trying to put myself in his shoes.

I know, ever since you were five years
old. What's that have to do with how you

feel about it?

Where are we going?

A little pleasure spin.

In this traffic?

Are you kidding?

Sit tight.

Thought you might want to give a little
team cheer to the old man on his wrist

like that.

Yeah.

I don't see him.

You see him?

Oh, jeez, Chris, I'm afraid to look up.

There he is.

Where? The yellow hat, see him?

He's been hanging around me.

Feel better?

Yeah.

I owe you one.

Control yourself.

Go to work.

Bye, Anthony.

Thank you for turning off the clock.
We're going out to Lincoln Hospital with

the bus.

Hey! Look at that!

What? That's Charlie.

Are you sure?

Charlie, what are you doing?

Get out of here. You want to blow my
cover? I'm waiting for my snitch. Pop,

can't just do this all by yourself. Get
lost, will you?

Hey, you want a score?

You go check out Benny Lewis' basement.
Benny Lewis? Yeah, and that phony import

store he uses as a front. Now get out of
here. Can't you see I'm undercover?

Good, good morning, Mr. Keggy. Mi hola,
ma.

Hola, mi ten.

Hola.

any Lewis' statement like Charlie said.

One more trip to Lewis, he'll have us up
for harassment.

No alarms, no nothing.

Open the door, Mr. Lewis.

What are you talking about?

Hit the button, please.

Silver gray.

We know it was silver, sucker.

What you want to give the turkey a pass
for? Silver? It was a dodge. A four

-door silver.

What year?

Fourth size.

A four -door sedan.

Mr. Lewis, calm down.

Calm down, concentrate on the driver.
What do you look like?

What is this?

Chinese. Japanese, Korean, what?

Chinese. How can you be sure?

Hey, I've been running... I've been
selling in Chinatown for 12 years.

I ought to know. Yeah, we know what
you've been doing.

He had a scar.

Find him.

He also tells me I gotta have some
yogurt.

You ought to try it, since, uh... Oh,
listen, uh, this Lewis thing, uh...

It was, uh... Good police work.

There's something you ought to know,
Lieutenant.

Yeah, what's that?

We worked quid pro quo with Lewis.

What she means is we made a deal with
him.

What kind of a deal?

We told him if he got his memory back,
we would go temporarily blind.

I didn't hear it.

Did he just say good police work to us?

Must have hurt him.

Hey, Charlie, is that you under the hat?
Hi, Charlie.

Hey, that tip that you just gave us on
Lewis really worked out. We got a

description of the driver.

Oh, yeah?

Didn't I always tell you to listen to
your own man?

Any luck with your snitch? Nah, he never
showed up, but I know where to find

him. That's why I came down here. Come
on, let's go. I got

a lot of paperwork. You got a partner?

I'll catch you later.

Since Nick didn't show before, why
should you expect him now?

Hey, don't pull that mistake on Charles
F. Cagney twice.

Hey, there he is. Pull over.

Hey, Moke.

I am talking to you.

Maybe I ain't talking to you.

Don't let these bum threads fool you,
Moke. It's Officer Cagney.

Still looking at a bum.

Oh, yeah.

Just because you haven't seen me around
lately doesn't mean things have changed

that much. I can still put you in
traction.

I am looking for a four -door silver
sedan that was in that bank hold up in

Chinatown. I want to know where it is,
Mok.

I don't know what you're talking about.
I need the information, Mok.

It's parked on the corner of the east.

156th and Court Lane.

We want to get out of here.

Beat it.

Kind of rough on him, weren't you,
Charlie? Oh, come on, listen, kid. I

today you tell him all about their
underprivileged childhood, but my way

him in line.

Let's go.

What are you doing?

Didn't you hear? They located the
getaway car. It's a mistake.

You saying your snitch has better
information?

Moak doesn't lie to me.

If you had a chokehold on him, Charlie,
another minute he would have been ready

for the paramedics that would have said
anything.

You're implying that I don't know what
I'm doing. You're way out of line.

Look, Charlie, you were terrific in
uncovering the Ben Lewis gambling den.

That's how we got the lead on the driver
of the car.

Glad you're smart enough to admit it.

Said you wanted to help, and you have.

Well, so now you're trying to get rid of
me, huh?

Think you can handle it yourself from
here on in, huh?

Papa, I just don't want you to get hurt.
That's all.

Listen, kid.

Any day I can't handle myself as well as
any...

Go ahead and say it, Charlie.

As well as any broad girl.

How about lady?

Why don't you drop me off at O'Malley's?
You want to go to O'Malley's? Take a

cab. That's a very good idea. Now, why
don't you pull over and let me out?

Hey, taxi!

Good. Come here.

I want to show you something.

Look at this.

See?

Six for eight.

Ladies, you bet it's 750.

That's better than Pete Rose. Way
better.

Not only that, one of you's got a home
run.

A bullet went through one of them and
got embedded in the dashboard.

What do you got?

Human blood, lots of it.

You give me an hour, Lieutenant, I'll
tell you more. What else?

No print. It's been wiped clean.

You can take it away.

You heard the man.

You get this car over to the garage and
put a hold on it.

Girls, let's get some air.

We get very far from the bank because
the guy that one of you said was the

driver. Which one of us?

You'll find out soon enough.

Well, I'll tell you what.

You take your revolvers over to
Ballistics and Internal Affairs.

Before long, we'll find out which one of
you gets the blue ribbon.

Great. But keep busy.

Because somebody has got to have seen
something.

Besides Nicky Arnstead, the import man.

Later.

You drive, huh?

Why? Is that just better than you?

Because I asked, you damn it.

Let's go around and deal with the van
killer.

Maybe some of you overlooked.

If you want.

What do you think of Mayling's new show
today? She hasn't missed a day in four

years. She's pregnant, Chris.

I remember when you walked the beat on
Patton Island. Six months gone.

They'd be different now.

You don't have to come on like
gangbusters, huh?

Mrs. Lee, we understand you're not
feeling very well.

Shall we come back later?

No, it's over.

Dead?

My husband.

He drove the getaway car in the bank
robbery.

Thank you.

Thank you.

She told us her husband just bought a
ski mask and he doesn't ski.

Yeah? Yeah.

That's why she was staring at one of
them, hoping that it wasn't him.

She worked in a bank. She could have
told them everything about it.

How the hell could we prove that even if
we wanted to?

Look, she's 21.

She's pregnant.

Worst of all, she's a widow.

Can't she just see the jury?

Well, since when did you become a
district attorney?

When we get those punks and they involve
a lieutenant, then you can call in the

macho squad and kick in her door. Until
then, leave her alone.

Please?

Silver tongue.

I think you're still alive.

Well, uh... Pete came back from
ballistics.

What'd the report say?

Well, it's filed now, so forget it.

Which gun, Lieutenant?

I'd like to know.

What difference does it make who's
responsible?

One of us killed a man, Lieutenant.

Made his wife a widow.

It's not the same as hitting the
bullseye on the pistol range, and I'm

to lie to you and say it's all in a
day's work.

I'd like to know which gun.

You got a note, too?

She's my partner.

But I promise you, Lieutenant, no one's
going to fall apart like a couple of

bridesmaids.

Why'd I say that instead of choir boys?

It was Lacey's gun.

Thank you.

Well, let's get on with it.

Well, there's one consolation.

Mary Beth?

Maylene didn't know that it was one of
us.

It wasn't one of us, Chris. It was me.

Then you're going to have to live with
it.

You were trying to kill us.

Remember?

Bobby. What's the matter? You all right?

They asked me to work up high this
afternoon, 16 floors.

Worked 90 before.

Scared right away, but I figured to beat
it, you know.

Anyway, I got busy, nearly took a
header. Oh, my God. Oh, nothing

okay.

I realized it was stupid and taking too
big a chance, so... So?

I quit.

Or I was fired.

I mean, who needs a hard head who can't
get his feet off the ground, huh?

Hob, I'm sorry. Yeah, me too.

Me too.

It's not going to be easy knowing I can
never do it again. I really loved it,

you know.

I know. I know that.

Oh, all right. Well, hey, it's going to
be okay, huh?

Hey, I don't want you to worry.

Hey, thank God I got the super thing
going for me.

That gonna be enough?

Yeah. You and the kids, anything's
enough.

Baking bread?

Yeah, I, uh, I just... I felt like it.

Hey, Marie, you remember you're talking
to her. You don't just feel like baking

a loaf of bread. Last time you did,
Michael had a fever of 105.

They didn't know what was wrong with
him. Time before that, your mother died.

Oh, hang on, Mom. Hang on.

Oh. Oh.

That feels good. Okay.

Okay. That feels good.

Hey, Charlie.

Yeah?

Are you sure, Sally?

I'm telling you, all he had was a cup of
tea, Chris.

Laced with what?

I swear.

That was all there was.

And then he took off, mumbling, uh,
retired at 65, dead at 70.

Thanks, Ollie.

Hi, Chris.

Hi.

What happened?

Oh, I ran into a couple of punks in a
dark alley, that's all.

One of them hit me up the side of the
head with his gun, a creep.

What were you doing in a dark alley?

Hey, since when do I have to explain my
whereabouts to one of my children?

Don't start.

Well, don't you start.

Charlie.

Pop.

Look, I know you've been going through a
rough time.

And I also know that it's hard for you
to accept me doing what I do.

What are you talking about? Are you
crazy?

I'm as proud as I can be of you. I tell
everybody that.

Yeah?

Well, why don't you ever tell me?

I'm a policeman, Chris.

A good policeman.

But I... I always wanted to be a
detective.

It never happened.

So if I've never told you how much I
admire you for making it, I'm sorry.

Yeah, well, watch out for my head, will
you? Now, come on, be careful. I'm

sorry.

Of course, sit down. I've got to tell
you something.

Now, last night in the alley, one of
those punks was wearing the same kind of

jacket that you found at Tommy Lee's
apartment.

And I heard one of them call the other,
Chang.

How'd you know about those jackets?

What is it? A state secret? It's Becky
told me down at O'Malley. Well, it was

dark in the alley. How can you make
sure?

Would you stop questioning me?

It's one of the reasons you're a good
cop, but it's annoying as hell and a

daughter.

Now,

if they decked me, they thought I was
still out cold.

But I heard them talking.

They were bragging about a job they
pulled off in Pathaic. A big robbery.

They were going to celebrate tonight at
the Eye of the Dragon. You know where it

is? All right.

Now, all you have to do is go wrap it
up.

Now, get out of here.

named Charlie gave me. Have you got any
idea how many Jags there are in

Chinatown? Not in rough figures, but how
many of them are wearing black satin

jackets with dragons on the back? So he
thinks he saw a dragon. Well, your

father, and I love him, has also been
known to see pink elephants.

If you don't believe his story,
Lieutenant, check on the heist in

don't want to embarrass him. Embarrass
him.

LaGuardia, call Passaic.

Hey, everybody.

I'm going to set up for a pizza. Enough
to have time to open the box.

Want a bet?

What kind are you getting?

Mary Beth, a little fake for my father,
please.

Pepperonis, peppers, onions, double
cheese. I don't care what everybody... I

don't want new onions.

Pepperoni? You know I'm a vegetarian.

Well, what about mushrooms?

Because I'm not ordering a salad. I'm
ordering a pizza. Mushrooms are great on

pizza, Lieutenant.

What's wrong with onions?

I got a heavy date tonight.

So don't kiss her.

Thank you, Sergeant. We owe you one.

Talk to Passaic.

It's just like Jolly said.

This is where the Eye of the Dragon is
located. Right here.

It's an interesting neighborhood.

So you know the kind of people that
patronize this joint, don't you? B

and hoods.

That's why the girls are getting dressed
in those outfits.

What's holding them up? The undercover
team's still working with them

downstairs.

If you don't stop primping, we could get
on with this.

Don't comment.

Come on, no one's trying to put you
down, and you know that.

We've got to do this fast and quiet.
That's why you girls got to be the

diversion. Remember, we don't want any
citizens getting hurt, right?

Let's go.

We don't get any pizza?

Oh, yeah, I bought pizza for everybody.

Here, eat this on the way.

Becky, why do you want to run to the
rear of the club? Let me know the minute

you're in position.

When are we going in?

Hey, look, this is not a wild way of
showing you're not John Wayne. You don't

anything until I signal. Everybody got
that?

Yeah. All right, go.

Petrie, I want you to go in first.

Try and get near to them at the bar.

You can take the others easy.

Okay, ladies.

Go on down the entrance.

So, how do I look?

What is this, prom night? Do I look
sexy?

Irresistible.

Go on down.

Gotcha.

No time like a present.

Say hi.

Your friend isn't too polite, is he?

Uh, I think you girls got the wrong
guys.

Oh, wouldn't you like to buy us a drink?

No.

Maybe we're too old for them.

Hey,

look, do you mind?

I got this thing about being crowd.

Oh, you're so tough.

I just can't stay away from you.

I thought you might like to talk to us
about bank.

Withdrawal. Pathetic, that kind of
thing.

I'll blow on it.

Don't let the way I look fool you, kid.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Easy now. It's all over. Grab my purse,
will you?

Thelma.

Thelma, I know I told you we were
raiding a Chinese joint, but it wasn't

time for me to pick up a takeout order
at Mushi Park.

Pop, I heard you. You've got a tip that
will blow the lid of corruption off the

borough of Queens.

Pop, all I want is your love and your
respect if it's coming to me.

I love you too, Pop.

I should be out of here in ten minutes,
huh?

Do we need anything at home?
