Sergeant Cagney. How nice to see you. I want to go after Mansfield. Leave it go,

Chris. You two haven't forgotten already what happened the last time? This time

he had fourth entrapment. The streets are full of dealers.

I want this one. You know my feelings about using informants, Christine. Now

know there's our only chance. All you can see is the thing that you want.

I can't back off it now.

This Mansfield, he did something to you. This is personal.

I want him, and I'm going to get him. No matter what?

You got it.

Not a bad day's work, Arnie.

I wish to report a homicide.

We'll see if we can't grant you that wish. You can't do this to me. People

to watch me dance.

They spend their money. I bring the city revenue.

Arnie, they can't spend it if they don't have their wallet.

Me in jail, people will stay home. You'll regret it.

Keeping the streets safe?

You want a fish, Brookie? You don't patronize the arts or what?

Hey, Artie. Looking sharp.

Today, the precinct. Tomorrow, the White House.

Two weeks of liquor store break -ins, petty larcenies, car thefts. Oh, I can

what's coming a mile away.

First snatchings, Mary Beth.

How many more of these can you take?

I know what's on your mind, Christine, so you want to get to the point?

Sure.

I want to go after Mansfield. Is that fast enough?

Leave it go, Chris. No.

We have the time now, and we certainly could use the excitement. Every time

things get dull around here, you drag that one out and we get no whiz. He went

underground. Leave it to narcotics.

It is dead at narcotics. Dead at narcotics because we blew the collar.

dead at narcotics because I blew the collar.

I'm the one who entrapped him.

We both got grief from the man. Now, what do you want to go get more for? I

we go out on the streets and we just churn up some accounts and see what

up. I mean, he can't stay underground forever.

Yeah, and who does this?

Have your attention here.

This gentleman wants to report a homicide.

Someone just shot Leon Trotsky in Union Square Park.

Homicide requires a detective on the scene. Lieutenant wants to know who's

catching.

Kayden, you and Lacey are.

Oh, afraid not, Victor. No, no, we just got a very hot tip on a breaking drug

case, didn't we, Mary Beth?

Right. He's all yours, fellas.

No, we can't. We have Arnie.

Well, Newman and Carranza. Looks like your lucky day.

Coleman, he's a nutcase. Call Bellevue.

Homicide gets reported, it gets checked out.

Leon Trotsky was a Russian revolutionary.

So? He's been dead over 45 years.

Could be a hell of a caller.

Thank you very much.

You know my feelings about using informants, Christine. You know that is

only chance, all right? We've already tried it narcotics way.

Ansel was too smart to sting.

He's so smart, what would he be doing in Brooklyn?

The 65th caller, they made your supplier last month.

Preacher, just ripe enough for him to move in.

I knew it.

I don't want to hear that last time.

Okay. Who are we talking to?

Hector Estevez.

Is that that kid who stole your car?

Yeah.

I've asked him to keep his ears open for me.

And you trust this kid?

Hector, sure.

He helped me find my car, didn't he?

As I recall, you threatened him with grand loss in the auto. Then he helped

find your car.

So he needed a little persuading.

Put your seatbelt on or I'm not moving.

Cagney, you're looking good.

Thank you, Hector.

I'd like to meet my partner. This is Detective Lacey.

How you doing, Mr. Estevez?

Today, much better than expected.

To what do I owe this pleasure?

Oh, do not tell me she lost her car again.

Not since she left the business.

You hurt my feelings.

And to think I've been saving one of these especially for you.

I like him.

You know Cagney?

I was just about to call you.

Did you hear something?

No, I just wanted to chat.

Hector, you said that you would get in touch if you heard anything at all.

You know, the first principle of business, Cagney, is motivation.

You asked me to do a dangerous job.

I ain't got no motivation. How can I do this to you? Okay, Hector.

What do you want?

Well, it's my brother, Ernesto.

See, he's, uh...

spiritual advisor who must travel from place to place and cannot always watch

the meter. So how many parking tickets does he have?

Just a few.

Look, you find out if it's man's food.

If it is, then we'll talk business.

Oh, I like talking business with you.

See you at the diner, Hector.

Eight o 'clock tonight.

Cagney, again, you do me dishonor.

See, in my neighborhood, the hombre asks the lady out.

And I thought chivalry died.

See you tonight, Hector.

Chris, I can't go with you tonight.

Muriel's taking the boys to movies, and Harvey and I have two whole hours

together.

It's a very big deal, Christine.

We're hoping that Alice sleeps after time. So what do you think?

I think it'd be nice if she slept the whole time.

What do you mean about Hector?

Oh, it's a long shot, Christine.

If there is a new supply, it could be anybody.

It could also be Mansfield.

I say we dig around, see what we come up with.

Okay. We'll stop by the 6 -5 station house. Oh, Mary Beth, come on. We owe

Christine. We're not going to waste my time making courtesy calls. He's ours.

He comes out here, we're going to be the ones to nail him.

All right, then we will track down Detective Visconti and at least let

know that we're around.

Oh. Protocol, Christine.

Forget it.

Miss Connie, wait a second. Huh? We'll even let you have the assist.

What you mean is you'll let me back you up in case you get in trouble?

Well, that's a terrible attitude.

What are you working on?

Nothing, just pinning Ernie stuff. Nothing you'd be interested in.

See you later, Sarge.

Make sure you get pictures of everything.

Hey!

Miss Connie!

Give us a break here, huh?

Call it a fee.

You owe me already.

I paid you back.

I handed you that Stransky collar and a silver platter.

Oh, yeah? And what about the Spencer case?

Do you want something on the Spencer case?

Look, Dagny, I'd love to help you out, but the 50 -50 is my preference.

We're going to land a cooperative.

Over here, please.

I like the protocol.

Steve forgets we're all in the same department.

I'm so sorry to be late, sweetheart.

But first we had to go to Brooklyn.

And then the last minute, we got called downtown.

It's okay, babe. Forget it. Oh, that's nice.

You're not upset?

Nope.

That's nice.

How's our little girl?

Sleeping like a baby.

You want to go look at her? In a while.

Harvey, the boys are going to be back any minute.

You're wrong, Mary Beth.

The movie got out 6 .30, Harvey.

Mom took them for ice cream.

Doubles, I hope.

Sundays.

The works.

It's a man after my own heart.

Twenty -eight tickets?

You got to learn to relax, Candy.

I don't think this cop business is so good for you.

Twenty -eight. Pardon me, but I'd call a few.

You owe me, Hector.

How was I to know?

Okay, tonight I buy you dinner.

I don't think I have much of an appetite.

You will, because I'm going to make you one happy little cha -cha.

Is it Matthew?

Are you sure?

The grave of my mother.

Got his name from two different dudes.

So, I get the ticket fixed, or what?

Yeah, thanks.

Good work, Hector.

Good. I did great.

And tonight, I bring you a special bonus.

Free of charge.

Word on the street is it would not be healthy for your man to stay in town.

He's making one big drop. Then, adios.

He's leaving?

When's the deal? End of the week.

Can you find out who the buyer is?

Maybe.

But how can I do this job if I ain't got no motivation?

Okay, Hector.

I'll have you register to the confidential informant.

I do you these favors.

You want me to pay your pigeon for checking you. Now, I think maybe there

special dinero for special hombres like me.

Say, 500.

Five? Are you crazy?

I don't think so.

But maybe you don't really want this deal.

Sit down, Hector.

I'll see if I can get you $200.

Listen, Kagan, I like you.

And I want you to respect me.

Now, would you respect me if I did what you asked for, $200?

I'll try for three.

But I want you to find out who's making the buy from Mansfield and be here

tomorrow at 2 o 'clock. You got that?

You drive a hard bargain.

If I ever need a business partner, It might lift you up.

Maybe I'll even let you model my dresses.

Morning. Morning.

How'd your night go?

It didn't.

Tonight we tried going out.

What?

Tonight?

Well, at least my night paid off.

Hector showed.

Said the supplier was Mansfield.

What a surprise.

I got something here, Mary Beth.

What you have is the word of a kid who has said exactly what he knows you want

to hear.

Now I have this.

Scotty, I did the body in the 65th yesterday.

Tentative identification, Donald Tracer.

It was Mansfield's muscle.

I think Mansfield put a call in on the old supplier so he could take over the

territory. And somebody killed Mansfield's bodyguard to scare him off.

Maybe. Maybe? It all fits.

According to Hector, Mansfield was coming in, making one big deal, and then

leaving.

We can do this, Mary Beth.

It's Mansfield.

You two haven't forgotten already what happened the last time? No, sir. We have

not. Well, crazy as it seems, the DA's office does not like it when our

detectives entrap their callers.

But this time we can nail him making the real drop. He can't force entrapment.

You know this should probably go back to narcotics.

But narcotics has never done anything with it, Lieutenant.

Besides, Lacey and the other ones who were jerked around by this creep, we

deserve another shot.

We'd like another shot, Lieutenant.

With due respect, sir, the 6 -5 did find his bodyguard in a trash bin yesterday.

It caught me nothing, sir.

You're treading dangerous water here.

You blow this, one of D .A.'s gonna want you to hide the both of you. But if we

pull it off, Lieutenant, then the whole squad's gonna look good.

Not to mention what it's gonna do for you, huh?

Cagney, $300, that's pretty steep.

This informant of yours better be reliable.

Thank you, Lieutenant.

I would like to know why something like this can go down in my precinct and I

gotta read about it in a daily activity report.

Trotsky, comma, Lyonnais. Oh, that. That was this whiner with a real fruitcake

yesterday. He reported a homicide. Newman and Karachi checked it out and

wasn't a corpse.

Then would you like to explain to me why a stiff named Trotsky is scheduled for

an autopsy? Huh?

Where's Newman and Carrasco?

They're in court.

Well, then you two go down to the morgue. I want to find out what the hell

going on around here.

This book tag says Trotsky, Leon A.

Male, Caucasian, DOA, Lexington Hospital.

Who ordered the autopsy?

Detective Bronstein, the 14th. There is no Bronstein at the 14th.

You calling me a liar? No, no, no. We're calling this a possible hoax.

You see, Leon Trotsky died in 1940, so we don't think that the homicide victim

could be Trotsky.

Totex said Trotsky, Leon A.

Now, I've been in this business for more than 23 years, and I don't believe

everything I read, except when it comes to toe tags.

Was there anything in his personal effects that could substantiate his

Just your common everyday pocket items.

Communist manifesto, bottle of Russian vodka, a half -eaten blueberry blintz.

Oh, too bad.

He died before he finished his blintz.

May we see the body?

Don't tell me.

You want to see if he looks like a man who read Tolstoy? No, we want to see if

there is indeed a body.

Trotsky, Leon A.

As reported.

And to me, he looks very... Russian and very dead. And very well preserved for

someone who died 40 years ago.

Wait a minute.

Henderson, William P.

What do you make of this?

Possibly a split personality?

3 .34, Christy.

I know what time it is.

Tracy, Hector's not showing up.

Let's give him a few more minutes.

Oh, I hate this.

He said the buy was going down this week.

He also said he would meet us two hours ago.

The punctuality is not one of his strong points.

I hate using this kid for scenes.

Hector says this is his brother.

Maybe he knows where he is.

What do you want?

I'd like to speak to Hector Estevez, please.

Hector ain't here.

I'm Sergeant Cagney.

This is my partner, Detective Lacey. He'll be Hector's brother.

Ernesto, right?

We apologize for interrupting your family's meal, Mr. Estevez.

Like I said, Hector's not here.

Oh.

When would you expect him back? I'd have to leave a message for him.

He might come in tonight, he might not.

With Hector, you never know.

You didn't happen to mention the little favor I had done for you, did he?

Hector should not have asked you to fix those tickets.

I can take care of things myself.

I'm sure you can.

They can sell the numbers here and at a time and a place I would like Hector to

meet me tonight. Would you please tell him it's important?

I gotta get ready for work. My food's getting cold.

Right.

Thank you, Mr. Restovas.

I felt more warmth from my freezer.

What did you expect?

A simple thank you for the tickets would have been nice.

You didn't do that for him, and he knows it.

The man is not stupid, Christine. His brother is your informant.

You think Hector's the only one involved here?

It affects his family, too. They have to live in this neighborhood.

I'm not going to apologize for doing my job, Mary Beth.

You think he cares that we bought some dope dealer?

His brother's working for the cops now. That's all this means to him.

How could a stiff wind up with more than one token?

Hey, give me two minutes, okay, sweetheart?

Well, who filed the autopsy report?

It was a phony.

Someone named Lev Bronstein.

Lev Davidovich Bronstein.

Leon Trotsky's real name.

Yeah? I wonder why he changed it. I wonder why Victor's Becky didn't.

Yeah, well, maybe he knew someday he was going to be assassinated. Yeah, Mrs. J,

what's going on?

Oh, no.

You know, he was killed in Mexico City. Okay, all right. The same place Lee

Harvey Oswald went the year he shot Kennedy.

You're not saying there was a connection?

Sure.

See, the man who killed Trotsky was a Stalinist agent named Ramo McCarter. He

was released from prison in 1960.

He could have gotten in touch with Oswald and set up the whole Kennedy

assassination. Harvey, excuse me.

Oh, there was a babysitter calling. She thinks she's coming down with something.

We should go home.

You know, Oswald, they'd go to Russia. Now, he may, he just may have been

recruited by Raymond McCarter. You believe one assassin trained the other.

there's more. Honey, we should go home, sweetheart.

Good night, everybody.

Some boor slob with too much muscatel in his belly claims that Leon Trotsky got

shot in Union Square Park, and you're telling me that it's connected to the

death of John Fitzgerald Kennedy? Yeah, and you probably think that Jack Ruby

just happened to be in that tunnel when they brought Oswald out. Oh! And he bet

the whole Warren Commission was a white watch. Harvey, I thought that you and I

agreed that you were going to talk about this one day a year, and one day only.

November 22nd only.

Yeah, but didn't we miss a year?

No.

You should not come to the park alone.

Nobody told you it could be dangerous?

Where were you today?

I was busy doing your job.

Did you find out who the buyer is?

Right down the business.

Mr. Devis, reporting for duty, sir.

Stone. Smart officer, Cagney.

You going to arrest me?

I'll cut it out, will you, Hector?

Come on, talk to me.

You're mad Mansfield. You're selling to a dealer.

Rafael Martinez.

How do you know?

A little fox took a shine from me.

She's a runner for Martinez.

Had some coke.

Excellent stuff.

I said there'd be more Friday night.

Got any dinero?

No money from the works.

Listen, we'll see it back here and find out when it is.

I'll get you more money.

You got some attitude, Cagney.

Next, you're going to have me doing your reports.

Look, I will take over as soon as I know where the deal is.

Well, maybe I should go ask Martinez himself.

You stay away from Martinez.

And you stay away from my family.

You got no business going to my place. Well, then you show up when you're

supposed to.

I got you what you wanted.

We're not through yet, Hector.

What is that what this is all about? Are you backing out on me? Maybe you just

don't know when to quit.

I thought I could count on you.

I thought you were smart enough to handle yourself. Now maybe I was wrong.

I shouldn't have asked a boy to do a man's job.

don't have what it takes.

Not only does the press have the story, but now the mayor's office is getting

letters wanting to know why this precinct is covering up the murder of a

Russian. Lieutenant, this is some clown's idea of a joke.

Oh, yeah.

It turned out to be that the body belonged to some forklift. No, I don't

it belonged to the commissioner himself.

I want you to go down to Union Square Park, find the wino that was in here,

get to the bottom of this today.

Nothing yet, Sergeant.

Okay, keep trying.

Run through every spelling you can think of.

And you hit him up for more?

Please.

He came through for us. We have a name now.

I don't know what in the hell it is you want, Mary Beth. I want you to let him

off the hook.

I don't have any hooks in him. He showed up. Don't. You're still using him

anyway. He is an informant, Mary Beth. He knows what the risks are. Don't

pretend to me that you don't have feelings for this kid.

The kid, Christine. What's he, 19, 20?

I've seen the way you work.

He's not going to be able to say no to you, and you've got him off after a

dope dealer. He's given us the only leads we've got.

Well, what happens after this?

What happens to his family?

What happens to Hector?

Hector can take care of himself. Trust me on this one.

That's what you want to believe. Mary Beth, I can't back off it now.

We'll lose Mansfield.

Then maybe we lose him. What else is new?

I can't believe you just said that.

All you can see is the thing that you want.

Mansfield's got you again.

He made you feel like a fool the last time, and you can't let it rest.

He made us play by his rules, and it blew up in our face.

Admit it.

And make peace with it. I am after this man because I hate what he does, and

I've told you that.

He makes these deals, he doesn't give a damn how many lives he destroys.

Well, I want him, and I'm going to get him.

No matter what?

You got it.

There, you see?

Mr. Polonais, I presume?

Yeah, what can I do for you?

We're under arrest.

At last, you find me.

You have the right to remain silent. If you give up the role... No, I don't need

a PR man.

Actually, it was kind of inventive, sir.

See, he paid the derelict to come in here, and then he contacted the press

wrote those letters to the mayor's office. He printed the necessary forms

himself, and then his friends at works at the morgue... Hold on the toe tag.

Wait. You're trying to tell me this joke here set the whole thing up as a

publicity stunt?

All at the city's expense.

It's too bad his place still closed.

Come on, sir, you've got to admit it's pretty funny. Yeah, sure, sure it's

funny. And I'll be sure to let the inspector know that you found it

Miss Becky.

Maybe you had to be there.

What are you doing?

I'm going to go change.

Harvey Lacey and I have a date tonight, which I'm not going to miss.

We've been at it all day, Sergeant.

I get nowhere, as I might add, so please don't start on me with those looks.

There's got to be something here on my team.

I agree, but staring at those records all night is not going to make it

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

I think I'll hang around a while.

A couple more things I'd like to check out besides Hector McCall.

Do what you like.

I will.

Good night.

Good night.

Do you really think you can

get this guy?

She does.

What about you?

I would love some more champagne.

It's good to see you back at work, Mary Beth. I know how much you missed it.

Yeah?

Want to know what else I missed?

We got each other for the next three hours all to ourselves.

Here's to tonight.

The most beautiful woman.

I love this place.

Oh, Mary Beth, do you see these beautiful Tiffany lamps?

Are they beautiful?

Is that for me or you want me to get the waiter?

This.

Oh.

Oh, Harvey.

That's a room key for here.

Ready and waiting in our name, babe.

Honey. Oh, wait, Mary Beth, hold it. I know what you're going to say.

We can't afford it. I wasn't going to say that. And I know we only got it for

couple of hours.

But Marybeth, I figure we deserve it.

We do, Harvey.

But taking a room here, Harv, you shouldn't have.

I know.

Because I did too.

Tanya, what are you doing here so late?

Don't tell me I can guess.

Mansfield case, huh?

I got the name of the buyer today.

Tanya, I understand how you feel about this one, but I can't keep it from

narcotics any longer.

Lieutenant, please, you can't take this away from us now.

I know that the hit on the bodyguard looks like something, but it's not.

It's not enough.

I mean, besides that, what do you got, huh?

All you got is an unreliable word of informant. Who will not deal with

narcotics. You bring them in here and we're going to lose Hector, Lieutenant.

Something's happening tomorrow and I know it. How do you know it? Because

had the buys going down this week and that only leaves it tomorrow.

Now, if Hector leads this to Martinez, then we can sit on him and he'll take us

to the buy and to Manfield.

You're talking a very long shot here.

I'm talking one more day.

Seeing as you're the sergeant.

You probably know that occasionally reports get put in the wrong pouches.

And it could take as much as 24 hours before the whole mess gets straightened

out. Thank you, Lieutenant.

Hello?

Who?

What have you got?

Okay, I'll be right there.

Give me 30 minutes.

Oh.

The runner was going to meet Martina, so I followed her to a bar on Habermeyer

Street. Is this where the deal's coming down?

Just hang out.

Our business is now concluded.

Afraid not, Hector.

You're supposed to find out where the deal is, not where the buyer hangs out.

Maybe you don't hear it so good, so I'm going to tell you one more time. I'm

through, Cagney.

Go find yourself another pigeon.

I'd be happy to, Hector.

As soon as you finish your job.

What is this with you, lady?

Don't you ever stop?

No.

Not till I get this man off the streets. Don't drive me, Cagney.

The streets are full of dealers.

I want this one.

I nailed him once.

I made a mistake, though. I walked.

I'm not going to let that happen again.

Oh, yeah.

So this dude made you look bad in front of all your compadres.

I don't give a damn what it looked like. Then why don't you quit? Because I

can't.

Not now.

Too close.

I'm a cop, Hector.

That's who I am.

And I worked like hell to get here, and I'm damn good.

And when I watched that bastard walk, and I couldn't touch him...

like to lose.

I have to believe that I can get him and I don't think I can get him without

your help.

I need your help, Hector.

No, take me.

You're not an easy lady to say no to.

I have to know where that deal is.

I'll never ask you for anything again.

They have no way.

Cut the tape.

Good news, Mr. Polonais.

You're being released on your own recognizance, at least until the DA's

decides what to do about... Wait a second. What happened to obstructing

governmental administration?

I mean, they can't do this to me. They can't do what?

Release me.

I demand to go to Rikers. You don't want to spend any time in jail, sir?

Yes, I do. Why do you want to go to Rikers?

Research for my next claim.

Except for Ernesto's wife. She says Hector took off early this morning and

hasn't seen him since.

Got it.

Looks like these bars are only lead.

I don't picture.

Mansfield's doing business out of a place like that.

He's trying to get his hands dirty here.

He'll let Martinez come to him.

Look, if we have to move on this, be sure and drop far enough behind, okay?

I remember procedure. It hasn't been that long.

Sorry.

Ah, who knows?

They get some of the junk off the street, it's a...

It's worth it.

When we use informants, it's all like... I never will feel good about it.

I'm starving. You want something?

No.

Very bad.

Martina?

I don't think so.

Could be a banker.

Could be bringing the money to Martinez.

Oh, get a load of this.

This is it, Chris.

Central, Detective Carr, 24, in surveillance of a black limo in the

enlightenment plate number 962, B as in Boy, L as in Larry, A as in Adam, New

York, 3824 Habermas.

Alert all units. Do not intercept. I repeat, do not intercept.

We'll advise of location.

10 -4, Car 24.

Go.

Subject auto leaving now.

Proceeding north on Happenmeyer.

We'll advise.

This is Car 24, continuing surveillance of limousine now traveling west on the

Brooklyn Bridge.

We'll keep advised.

Central to Car 24, 10 -4.

Detective Car 24, surveillance complete.

Present location, 300 Block Vernon.

Requesting immediate backup.

I'm going in. 10 -4, car 24.

They're in there, Mary Beth.

So where in the hell is the backup, huh? They should have been closer to it than

this. Let's get here.

Give them time. We don't have time.

They're weighing it, testing it, making the exchange. In one minute, he's going

to be gone.

If we go in there without backup, they'll scatter.

So we just go straight for Mansfield.

You got a better idea of weeding him out than the chance we've got.

Let's go.

Slowly put your gun on the ground.

Don't try it, Mansfield.

Just put the gun down.

Sergeant Cagney.

How nice to see you.

I'm going to ask you one more time.

Put the gun down.

You can do it with me.

We've got to stop meeting like this.

Don't you agree?

Put your hands up.

Where would you like them?

In the boxes behind you. Turn around.

They're under arrest.

You have the right to remain silent. Oh, by the book, I'm impressed.

If you give up the right to remain silent, anything you say can or will be

against you in a court of law.

Not bad for your second week, Matthew. I'm on a roll here.

Put your wallets away, boys. My partner and I are buying.

Okay, okay, we'll let you buy.

Make them feel better.

Hey, guys.

Don't tell me you didn't hear about what came down.

We heard about it.

Nice collar.

Thank you, Marcus.

Nice. Nice collar.

Lacey, Cagney, I want to see the both of you in my office.

Is this about the Mansfield collar, sir?

In my office, please.

What do you get, Cagney?

Huh?

A promotion, maybe?

What about my brother?

What does Hector get?

A bullet in his head and you're caught stuffed in his mouth?

What is this?

Huh? You pay him for the funeral in advance?

We don't want nothing from you.

Nothing. Detective Sergeant Christine Cagney, shield number 790, has

partner, Detective Third Grade Mary Beth Lacey, who has received a special

commendation from this department.

traditions, therefore...
