All language subtitles for Cagney and Lacey s06e01 Schedule One

He wants to make a trade. He says he has
information on a cop scooping heroin.

Only one thing that you ever turned in
one of your own for.

Cop dealing drugs.

I won't have a dirty cop working in my
precinct. Are we talking entrapment,

The man stole heroin. Would you give me
a break? You sound like the French

Connection. How do I know you're not
bleeding to death lying in some alley?

A felony is more than a safe, Christine.
We send people to prison for less than

this almost every day.

You don't have cops in prison, even in
segregation?

I'm a detective, third grade, not God.

You're in this, Lacey.

You've got no choice.

No survivor.

Look at this, Mary Beth.

What would you do if you had $2 million?

Lunch hour's over, Sergeant. We'd better
get back.

I wish they weren't bringing back the
polka dots.

I'm so happy.

I hate happy dresses.

My feet are killing me.

I was standing up packing the good china
till 127 this morning.

The movers do that stuff for you. This
is my good china, Christine.

English willow where Harvey gave me for
our 15th wedding anniversary.

It's a set for eight. Kids already broke
three bread and bought a plate.

One eight.

They got companies that specialize in
matching patterns, you know. I'm cotton

straight and I'm saving the ones I got.

This move's really putting you through
the ringer, huh? Look at this.

Look at this.

I don't believe it.

Thank you.

We could have just set it down.

Sergeant Cagney.

All right.

I got information to trade.

What makes you think you have anything
we want?

Three weeks you've been working on that
Soho rape, and the two of you's got

nothing to show for it yet? And how many
times I got to chew your butt about

last week's 35?

I'm working on it now, sir.

Wait a minute, Lacey Carrasco.

Huh? You were late this morning. What
did you do, stop for brunch or what? I'm

sorry. I stopped right through the
alarm.

That was the third time this month, and
that's three times too many. And what

about that con man over at the Port
Authority? What news on that? We're

on it, sir. You're working on it, huh?
Where, huh? Where is this guy?

Who's John? What is he doing in there?

Never mind.

He's in front of a sleep circuit. He's
catching a juice. Oh, no, when it rains,

it pours. Thanks. It's about time.

His mother was signing. She's in the
hospital.

Come on. We're talking granny back here.
Who's up? Here's what he is.

Here you go. Bunches are starting to
tick me off. I'll take it. I had a great

day. Sir, I need to talk to you. Please,
in your office, it's important.

Well, why didn't you say so?

Hey, watch it. Leave my arm alone.

I want to talk. Hey, hey.

Yeah? So?

We have a perpetrator in custody,
Lieutenant.

A burglar we caught in possession of
stolen property.

Now that you made the streets of New
York safe, tell me, what is the big

important thing you had to close the
door? I think maybe you want to talk to

him, sir, before we bring him in.

Sergeant Cagney has him over by the West
Side Drive.

What aren't you telling me, Lacey?

He wants to make a trade. He says he has
information on a cop scooping heroin.

You know the procedure, Lacey.

Bring the perp in and notify I .A .D.

Sir, he says the officer is a gold
shield man from the 14th.

You think you saw one of our guys
scooping, huh? Oh, no, no thinking about

saw him for sure at a shoring gallery
near the waterfront.

When? A week ago.

Maybe two.

Maybe three.

Hey, I didn't mark it in my calendar,
okay? I mean, I was throwing up. All

right, all right, go on.

Anyway, I was nodding off, and this cop
smashes down the door.

A bunch of people left at the back door,
and I was trapped inside, but I talked

inside.

I saw this guy.

He dipped into his stash bag and he
dropped it into an envelope.

And, oh, he pockets it.

What did he look like? Tall white dude
in his late 30s, maybe early 40s. How

tall?

How tall?

Over six feet, I don't know.

Taller than you, that's for sure.

But look at me as we're looking.

Smart big guy, right?

walk right now. If the information
checks out, then we'll give you some

with the burglary.

Is that the address?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Better be.

If you disappear, we're going to find
you. And while we're looking, we're

to put the word out in the street.

There's a new informant around.

Hey, I'm not running out, okay?

I'm going to contact you tomorrow at
your place early, so be there.

I'm going to check out some people for
us. You're the boss, man.

And ladies, you're the boss.

Jack Kelly down at Flannery's the other
night.

Poor guy's going stir -crazy since he
picked up his pension.

I told him living the life of Riley
wasn't easy.

You know, Jack and I were talking the
other night about, well, the worst thing

about picking up the gold watch is
leaving your buddy. I mean, hey, it's

family, you know?

I know you guys always stuck together.

Hey, Nixon wasn't the original
Stonewaller, not by a long shot.

You mean you never turned anybody in?
Never, never, never, never, never.

And that's the way it was, Chris.

There's only one thing that you ever
turned in one of your own for. And I

you what that was a long time ago.

A cop doing drugs.

That's right.

After that, he's not a cop anymore.

He's dumb.

Mr. Rasa?

It's Becky.

Farrell on night shift.

O 'Connor, he's taller than both of
them.

The description fits my zoo skate, too,
sir.

Look, Lieutenant, I know that we have to
follow through on this, but aren't we

moving a little fast here? We're all
going on the word of a junkie.

What, you never took the word of a hype
before, Cagney?

If you believed that, you wouldn't have
brought me in on this.

I want to believe this guy's peddling
nothing, but I got to know that for

We're talking about nailing one of our
own.

No, we're talking about proving that
we're clean here. That's the purpose of

this investigation.

I want you to parade that junkie in
front of each one of these guys.

All right, yes.

I'm sorry, Lieutenant, but I'm late for
court. I just wanted you to know that

we've got a lead on our court authority
scam. I respect he's on it now. Good,

good. Good work, Lieutenant. You let me
know if it goes anywhere, will you? All

right, Lieutenant.

If there's no positive ID, then we can
all parade the agenda.

Yes, sir.

All right?

So.

Carrasco. Comes late every day, leaves
early every day. Maybe the guy's strung

up. Carrasco's a very straight person,
sir. Why would he take the needle?

Well, when I was a rookie, my buddy had
a partner who got killed.

Within six months, my buddy was a
washout, an alcoholic.

What about O 'Connor?

Or Farrell?

What, am I the only one working here?

I feel like I'm talking to myself.

Hey, you got an idea?

Uh, Farrell, uh, has been wanting day
shifts for years. Maybe he's bitter

and, uh, needed the money to cut loose.

Who's Becky?

Oh, I don't think so, sir. He
practically killed that junkie that was

down by PS -110.

Maybe he's using himself.

Have you taken a look at that body?

Junkies don't look like that.

His mother's sick, though.

Long stay in the hospital.

Cost a fortune nowadays.

Medicare won't even come close to
covering it.

What do you think? I think they're all a
stretch.

Yeah, you think it's a stretch. Then you
prove it, Sergeant.

Matter of fact, both of you, get down to
records.

Check their activity sheets.

Look for whoever has made a recent off
-duty narcotics collar.

He's the one that you junkies are going
to see first.

Yes, sir.

Wait a second.

Next time we're going to meet somewhere
else.

No one can know about this. You hear me?
I mean, no one.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Nothing

on

Mazzucci.

This is endless.

So far, only Farrell has a lone wolf
narcotics column.

I'll have to have a clean this place up.

That's his official records room decor.
There's apartment directives out on it.

I got some horror moving away to
cumulate.

Harvey and I boxed up the kitchen. Thank
God Muriel wasn't around to see what we

swept out from under the sink.

Mary Beth, about what the lieutenant
said.

You can't let Harvey in on any of this.

I'm not deaf, Christine.

Well, then I'm just covering the basin.

Consider them covered.

Okay.

They start putting this stuff on
computers.

Here we go. It's Becky.

One lone wolf called her three weeks
ago. Narcotics?

Yeah.

Well, here is an off -duty arrest by O
'Connor last month.

Got three

already this year.

Any of them narcotics?

Just one.

Cardboard boxes here and cardboard boxes
at home. I'm beginning to dream about

cardboard boxes.

Now, Christine, all my life I wanted to
live in my own home, but when I thought

about it, I never thought about actually
moving.

You know what they say about being
careful what you wish for, Mary Beth?

That's a depressing thought.

I think it's a case of change equals
psychological loss.

Where'd you get that?

Besides basic sexual response, that's
all I remember from Psych 101.

Mary Beth, look at this Karasa sheet.

Six solo dope collars since January. One
of them just last week.

I hate this.

You look beat, Mary Beth.

I ran out of aspirin.

Harvey Jr. finished his homework?

Yeah, between calls to Tiffany.

Aspirin, huh?

Let me see here.

Just a minute.

Aspirin. Here it is. FBM -79.

Maybe it's a hunger headache.

Would you like some supper? I'm not
hungry.

He knows the rules, Harvey.

No telephone calls during homework, and
you're supposed to remind him. That's

right, Mary Beth.

One of us has to.

So why don't you just take a few days
off, huh, until after the move?

I can't.

I'm working on something important.

And all this, Mary Beth, this isn't
something important?

You got responsibilities here, too,
babe.

I need a partner to help take up the
slack. Let me change my clothes, and I

help you.

Oh, it's the move that's getting you
down, isn't it?

I guess so.

You know, change is psychological loss.

Huh?

That's what Christine said. What do you
think?

I think that in a few weeks, she won't
even miss this place.

Think about where we're moving to, Mary
Beth.

A front lawn, a backyard for the kids, a
garden, three bathrooms.

Sure, sweetheart, it's going to be
great.

I know it is.

When you said breakfast, I was thinking
something a little more uptown.

Hey, I got the best bagels in Manhattan
right here. Yeah, and the cheapest.

How about a cup of coffee? I need that
caffeine.

You've been soaking up enough coffee for
the whole ship lately.

Yeah.

Yeah, you look tired, Al.

What, have you got another job on the
side?

Sure, I've been trying to make enough
money for the face to get rid of that

tired look.

Is that what this is about?

We're concerned, Al.

Okay, I'm working security. That's why
I'm dragging my butt in something.

Getting about three hours sleep.

What are you pushing yourself like that
for?

I don't know. I think it's me.

Something to think about.

Life hangs by a thread, you know, and
I've wasted so much of it. It'd be great

to get ahead now, wouldn't it?

Put a little nest egg aside.

Yeah. Get out of the city, Thunder. You
know what I'm talking about.

You bet your life.

I forgot the bagel.

And a cider lock, please.

My tree down. Terrific.

Locks for everybody.

So I was on a holiday, you know, the
four days up in Binghamton.

So I'm sitting on the porch chatting
with this girl, and she was just

I mean, gorgeous.

And all of a sudden, her mother walked
out onto the porch.

She was enraged by the smell. I think it
was in the gas station. Her mother was

just...

Fantastic. I mean, I lost it. I almost
lost the whole thing.

So what I did is I turned around to her,
made sure I didn't embarrass her by the

mere fact that I was ruling.

How can... I mean, mothers are gorgeous.
I mean, you know, after you have a

baby, you know, I mean, wow.

But in actuality, this woman, it's just,
she had like, you wouldn't believe it,

four kids, and she was like 45, 50.

She was a knockout. A knockout. I
almost, like, wanted to give this guy a

of bucks to go away.

Good morning, Lieutenant.

Here,

let me take that.

Nice place.

Thank you. Real nice.

How much do you pay for a place like
that?

Oh,

a little blood, a couple of fingers,
your normal pound of flesh, you know.

please sit down.

You're dieting. I'm sorry.

Oh, no, that's okay. I'll watch it at
lunch.

Oh, excuse me.

I'm sorry I'm late because my whole life
has labels on it. Everything is in

boxes. I couldn't even find it. Good
morning, Lieutenant.

Oh, good morning, Lacey. How are you
doing?

Honestly, sir, I had a lot of trouble
sleeping last night.

It's not easy to think about Becky
getting in this garbage.

I know what you mean.

Coffee? Yeah.

Of course Harvey was up banging around
all night packing the dresser drawers

into AD -1 and 4.

He's got a kind of unique labeling
system. It's for our move.

We're moving.

Thanks.

Just the word of a junkie, folks.

All night I'm asking myself, if it's
him, why?

Only thing that made sense is his
mother's hospital bills.

So I stopped at records this morning.

His Becky claims her as a dependent.

So she's covered by his insurance and by
Medicare.

So where's the motive?

The motive doesn't even matter. We have
no case at all here.

Now what jury is going to believe a
junkie over his Becky?

I'm telling you, it's a DA's reject.

I don't give a hoot now what the DA
says, Cagney.

Miss Becky is actually guilty that I
don't want him getting off free.

I won't have a dirty cop working in my
precinct.

Whatever happens on the 14th reflects on
me.

So I want the two of you to tail him
after his shift's over.

Excuse me, Lieutenant, but we could
watch him for weeks and still not learn

anything. That's right.

That's why we're going to weigh the
carrot in front of him, see if he bites.

Great. Setting up one of our own.

Are we talking entrapment, sir?

Have you stopped making me the heavy
here?

I don't enjoy this, Cagney. I like his
Becky.

We're setting up a phony stash pad.

I'll announce that we've been tipped and
that we may hit the place over the

weekend.

Then I'm going to hand the file over to
you, Cagney. I want you to plant it on

your desk and walk away.

We'll sit on a place.

If Miss Becky shows, then we'll take him
in the act.

I won't do it.

I'll take part in the stakeout,
Lieutenant, but I can't plant that file.

But you think about this, because this
is how it works when you're the boss.

The air gets pretty thin.

This one's always been on me plenty.

It's wild in this case.

You for a fairy queen?

I said it before.

The word of a junkie.

Still, the lieutenant's right.

We gotta know if there's a bad apple in
our barrel.

It's our squad, but technically
speaking, the 14th is lieutenant's

Jump on the 4th makes me sick. Anywhere
it happens, you know that.

This whole thing's really got us
covered, Lieutenant. It's behind.

Yeah? What if it was your behind that
needed covering, Christine?

Poor Harvey.

Another night he's going to have to pack
all by himself.

You want to go home, Mary Beth? Why
don't you go home?

I didn't say that, Christine.

You say things all the time with that
thing.

You go putting words in my mouth all the
time.

Tell you what, let's just not talk,
okay?

Okay.

Well, I didn't say anything in the first
place.

Tell me something. How'd you know he was
a con? I thought he was a real

professor. Judith France did not write
Wuthering Heights.

Oh.

Oh, yeah, sure.

Well, I hope they throw the book at him.
You cannot help us old ladies like

that. Hey, sign me up, will you? Mark,
can you sign me up? Well,

I haven't seen you two being special
since you took me to lunch.

Hot dog for a hot dog, Victor?

All right, everybody, listen up.

Do not make firm plans for the weekend.

The chart is out. No 28s. What? Come on.
There is a smash pad in our precinct.

Low security.

Lots of donuts.

But they want us to let the place
operate a little longer.

A mule is expected to drop off another
load any day now. Might happen this

weekend. In which case, you're on call.

Everybody. Yes, sir.

Hold this down a second.

If we come down on them big.

It's accommodation time.

That's all.

That's it. Harvey's going to kill me.

Well, at least you get out of the heavy
lifting, lady.

Somebody's going to break something,
Victor, and that's why I'm there to

Dr. Ketney?

Yes, Lieutenant? I want you to check
this out when you come back. I'll leave

right here on your desk.

Yes, Lieutenant.

Are you coming, Victor?

Oh, I've got to talk to the doctor.
Look, I'm not waiting. I'm taking

dinner tonight.

Go ahead. I'll see you tomorrow.

Thanks.

I've got to visit my mother in the
hospital. She's real sick. Yeah, sure.

all right. Just let Coleman know where
you are and check in. As a matter of

fact, I prefer hourly rates.

Hourly rates, yeah. Thank you very much.

I shouldn't have had that last piece of
pizza.

Anchovies always give Harvey heartburn.

How is he?

He's kind of busy, sir.

But with the move and all.

We're moving.

We're moving?

I like it with pepperoni and onions.

Moving's not easy.

Yeah, it's a lot of stuff to do.

Last big fight Thelma and I had was
about moving.

She wanted to and I didn't.

I gotta know that the same guy is on the
same corner selling me my newspaper.

Every day.

Yeah.

I gotta find it no dry cleaners now.

Come on, let's go.

Victor.

Lieutenant.

Hey, what are you guys doing here?

Hey, I had an incredible bit of luck
tonight. I'm driving my car down First

Avenue, and I see this dirtball
strolling down the sidewalk.

All right, Victor.

Don't bother.

Come on over here. I want to talk to
you.

Do I have to take it from you?

Come on.

Why?

Why? Why, you stupid fool.

Lieutenant. Lieutenant.

Lieutenant. Let him go. Let him go. Come
on, you don't want to do this.

Come on. Why?

Why did you do the dumbest move in the
book? Why?

My mother, damn it.

She's jumping out of her skin with the
pain.

She keeps people up all night screaming.

I just couldn't stand to feel like that
anymore.

She's dying of cancer.

Nothing.

Not a thing, sir.

I told you.

What, we should have believed you?

We haven't done anything here, Victor.

You want us to have a real search? I
will rip up your carpet and tear the

cabinets out of your walls and pull your
plumbing out. Look, I swear to you,

this is only the second time I've done
it. Gee, maybe we should canonize you.

You know, she begged me to kill her.

How do you pull the plug on your own
mother?

So you give her street drugs? It helps
her.

How else could I get it?

The hospital won't give it to her.

The morphine they give her just makes
her thicker.

And she's allergic to everything else.

Look, my mother is it.

It's just her and me.

She's all I've got.

And this cancer is killing us.

You think you got it beat after six
years in remission?

Six years.

Then comes back and starts eating her up

She gave her heroin I just wants to give
her

one good night's sleep

You know, you walk in here and act like
nothing is wrong.

Sorry.

I've been waiting for you for hours,
going bonkers, Mary Beth.

How do I know you're not bleeding to
death, lying in some alley?

I sit here, and I wait.

I see pictures in my head, and you walk
in here like nothing is wrong.

I told you I was going to be late. I
called you.

Not that late. Coleman said you'd find
out at six.

It was an important take -off. If that
fashion doesn't know, give me a break. I

had a lie to the boys so they wouldn't
worry about you. I said I was sorry. You

want me to get down on my knees? Tell me
what is going on. I'm tired and I'm sad

and I don't want to talk about it. I
know that's what you want to do, but it

not what I want to do.

Fine. Okay.

It's very cold in here.

The heat is on, Mary Beth.

I don't feel it, Harvey.

The doctor confirmed her story.

They don't know why exactly, but there's
a tiny percentage of people who, quote,

respond better to heroin, unquote.

Well, we could get to one drug they
can't use it here medically, even if it

helps.

And she's allergic to everything they've
tried.

Doctors use it over in England, but they
can't do it here. Is that something?

A junkie could buy it on the street, but
people dying insane can't get it

without breaking the law.

It's still drugs.

It's still a cop in a scoop, and it's
still...

It's something the patrol guide says
we've got to turn him in for.

But the patrol guide, it's just what it
says. It's just a guide.

So what do we do, son?

Just to keep Vegas from trading his dirt
next time he gets called.

Nothing.

Without our evidence, it's just the word
of a junkie, like you said yourself.

It's just a D .A. reject.

Make a decision today that you can't
live with tomorrow.

So I've instructed his Becky to be in my
office tomorrow at 9 a .m. sharp.

I want the two of yous there at 8 with
your votes.

With due respect, Lieutenant, I think
this is the boss's decision.

I'm a detective, third grade, not God.

You're in this, Lacey. You've got no
choice.

I don't want to tell the two of yous how
to vote.

But if we're to let him off, it's got to
be unanimous.

One negative vote and we turn him in?
It's the only way this thing could work.

Let's drop down to the bottom line here.
What we're talking about is a felony.

If Victor did for his mom, we would be
doing for Victor.

And if word should get out somehow, then
we would all be in the

same boat together.

No survivors.

I don't want to make this decision.

How could that jerk risk his career like
that?

Oh, it's his. What about ours? He did it
for his mother, Christine.

He didn't even know if it would help her
for crying out loud.

Last night I was thinking if I was dying
and nothing could stop the pain, would

I want my kid to do that for me?

I don't think so, but it's an act of
love.

All I can say is he's lucky he's got
people like us to back him up.

You sound like you've decided already.

Well, like Charlie says, it...

25 ,000 of us, 8 million of them.

We're talking about Schedule I dope
here, Christine.

Not free coffee.

I know that, so we push him to the wall.

Put the fear of God in him. He never
does it again.

No matter how bad it is, how they get.

And what if word gets out that we
covered up for him?

I would never make police commissioner,
that's for damn sure.

You would all three of us be up on
departmental trial and take a trip to

dance hall.

Damn, Miss Becky, what a stupid mistake.

Come here. What?

A felony is more than a mistake,
Christine. We send people to prison for

than this almost every day.

You think Miss Becky should go to
prison? I did not say that, Christine.

You know what happens to cops in prison,
even in segregation?

He'd never end up in prison.

I guess Becky would swallow his gun
first.

I don't think he would do that. Yeah,
you got a guarantee. You got a guarantee

was never going to boo -boo smack again?

Hey, you want guarantees?

Turn him in.

Then you'll be protected.

But don't lie to yourself about why
you're doing it.

Oh, I see.

I'm lying to myself, but you are not.

What in the hell is that supposed to
mean?

Come in here. But they can't hear us. If
we decide to do this.

Aiding and abetting a felon. The man
stole Halloween. Would you give me a

You sound like the French Connection.

So he pinched a little to help his dying
mother, and you're going to turn in one

of your own.

You talk like the only person to
consider here is his Becky. I got four

people I have to think about. I'm
speaking about my family. I need this

does his Becky.

Does that mean that you're going to vote
to let him go? I don't know.

Hell of a way to move in here.

I don't want to fight hard, not tonight.

How about tomorrow night?

I don't like it, Mary Beth. I can't
accept it.

But whatever you have to do, do it and
get it over with.

I vote we let him off.

Caggy?

Let him go.

I vote we let him off.

Nothing but fur and skin left if the
headhunters ever get a hold of us.

I'm sending Petrie out on his own today.

Theoretically, Victor is out sick.

I'm expecting him here at 9 a .m.

When he arrives, I want the two of you
to follow him in.

Yes, Lieutenant.

I got you. That's what I'm going to do.

What? I left it at that.

Thank you.

Thank you.

All right.

I'll come back here now.

What's the

problem?

All right.

Quarter of 11.

We're in a healthy spot.

Right there.

Take your time.

You're two hours late.

My mother just died.

All

right,

be careful there.

Tilt up around the corner.

That will make it look okay.

Don't scratch it.

Got all your stuff?

Be careful with the light, yeah.

See you down at the truck, huh?

This is it, huh, Mom?

Yeah.

Well, look who's here. Hi.

Everything okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's going to be fine.

Kid's having a tough time.

Hey, number one, what's wrong?

She's only six subway stops away.

I know how you feel.

No, you don't. Yes, I do.

I lived 15 years of my life in this
apartment. I'm leaving a friend, too.

That's the last of it.

What you got done, keep an eye on your
brother.

He's not going here.

Time to go, babe.

Yeah, I just want to check around and
see if we left anything. Sure.

I'll see you down in the car.

Very bad!

Goodbye.
