All language subtitles for Cagney and Lacey s06e02 Culture Clash

Has your sister been physically
threatened?

She is in danger.

That's why I called you. Your brother
told me you'd been raped.

That's ridiculous.

Did you ever make advances for her?

Okay, so I wanted it. An individual's
rights are protected. That's what our

freedom is all about.

You are happy with your freedom of
pornography and prostitution?

It's not your fault, Christine.

We fight. You and I, we fight every damn
day. I cannot say how much I despise...

What's going on?

He's poisoning my sister. Is that not a
crime in your country? And where is she

now, sir? At one of your schools.

And you, thank you, you say she was
poisoned?

No, no, thank you. Please, you must
unless you wish to insult my sister.

I'm just not into tea. Thank you.

You're very kind.

Your younger sister, Hazrat, did she see
a doctor after the poisoning?

The suffering is worse than that of the
body.

It is of the soul.

She is losing her way.

So she was not actually poisoned?

Worse than that, don't you see?

Ugly thoughts come from her mouth.

I am afraid for her.

You know, it's a crime in this country
to file a false report.

So once again, sir, has your sister...
been physically threatened in any way?

You talk in circles.

Zarghuna has seen her in the company of
this evil man.

She now ignores her prayers and flaunts
her disrespect.

She is in danger.

That's why I called you. The
authorities.

Sounds to me like you don't like the guy
she's dating.

She does not date.

She is a woman of Islam, daughter of
Mushadan, who died protecting his faith.

This boy who harasses her, he is
garbage.

Well, now, that may be true, sir.

But unless a law has been broken, this
is not a police matter.

Why don't you listen to me?

I've seen more enlightened men in beer
commercials.

I don't think they drink in that
religion, Christine.

You're not going to defend that, sir,
are you?

Well, I'm not crazy for the man, but
they only been in the country a year.

He's a little Ayatollah, and he's using
the police department to enforce his

stone -age saloon.

I can understand about being
overprotective when there's no father

not so, Mary Beth. That's what he is.
There was no crime committed in there,

there's nothing we can do about it.
Well, it didn't kill us. Come listen to

man.

I will never understand how you can
understand these people that you

Never.

The third nickel bagger this week has
set a record for Mickey Mouse arrest.

Don't give me a lecture, Coleman. Just
do me a favor and book. There's a lot of

paperwork to fill out for these
Twinkies.

So what?

Guess who's going to end up doing it?

Samuel's about to see you, too.

Here's your report, Sergeant.

You got any ID?

Look, I'm just trying to do my job.

I'll do all the paperwork.

Poor Victor.

It's probably hard for him right now. He
probably feels he has to prove himself

because of you -know -what.

Please, Mother Teresa, there are limits.

If Becky's it.

I was asked to recommend my best team
for this I'm Robbie task force. We're

team they want, Lieutenant.

Ambition, drive, experience. Turn off
the sales pitch. We already recommended

the two of you.

Be down at one police class on Thursday
at 3 p .m. for the interview.

I'm warning you, there's not going to be
a shoe -in.

Lieutenant Sabini's got the final say.

What?

I'm sure the two of you is going to do
just fine.

You can count on it. Thank you, sir.

Go ahead.

Take one of these. They're pizza rolls.
Oh, thank you, Lieutenant.

Yeah, it's Becky brought him in.

He's making every effort.

Yes, I know it is, Lieutenant.

It's a big assignment, Lacey.

Lots of press.

Yes, sir.

Success in this will go a long way
towards Detective's second grade.

Promotion overdue for you.

And it would look good in your folder,
too, Sergeant.

All right, go get it. Yes, sir. Thank
you, Lieutenant.

I like it.

What am I going to wear? I have nothing
to wear.

Look at that. You look great. Every time
I go down to headquarters, I feel like

I ought to have a passport.

Mary Beth, one leg at a time. They put
on their pants the same way you do.

One leg at a time.

Mom, I wore the same pair of pants to
school three days in a row.

The other kids become a geek.

Your father packed the stuff tight
enough to take on the Titanic.

Mom, you're not listening to me. Don't
yell. You'll wake up your baby sister.

Your pants are right... What is this?

I don't know, and I'm not wearing it to
school. It's bad enough being the new

kid anyway, and now I look like a
welfare case.

What does this belong to?

Your father couldn't put normal labels
on things. Kitchen stuff, bathroom

No, your father had to be a scientist.

Wake up your baby sister.

I'm sorry.

A family...

Great chicken. He just got to sleep.

Sorry, Mom. Dad got extra biscuit.

It's little, um... Parfait. P -A -R -F
-A -I -T.

P? It's there, Michael. I don't want to
go into it.

Well, anyway, he's gone for dessert.
Well, I hope you got some plastic

too. Otherwise, you're going to be
kicking at those parfaits with your

All the silverware disappeared.

You have to use the system, Mary. But
did you check the chart? Your chart

disappeared, too, Harvey.

We haven't found anything for days now.
We're living with a bunch of strangers.

The only person around here is Muriel.

And all she cares about is that stupid
baby. Hey, that's grandma, you mister.

And stop calling your sister names. Why
don't you just sit down and eat some

chicken? I'm sick of chicken. Well, you
don't have to eat it then. You're

excused. Go upstairs and do your
homework.

Why should I bother?

I told you, I'm not going to that
school.

Next year, I'm going to join the Navy,
and I'm not wearing these pants

That's your son.

Yeah, and he's yours when he can hate.

I think the chart is in one of those
boxes.

Terrific, Harvey.

Your son is right. Nobody can find
anything around here.

a bunch of shoes, Mom.

That's good, Michael. Why don't you come
and have some chicken? One minute.

Hi. Hi.

The lieutenant recommended me and
Christine for a big deal task force

It's great, babe. Great.

Well, I have to pass the interview
first.

But the lieutenant said that it could
mean an overdue promotion.

Detective second grade.

That's great, honey.

Hey, it's okay if I use the table later.
I have some paperwork.

I have a variance problem on a new job I
gotta work out.

Huh?

It means 7 ,000 more a year, Harvey.

$7 ,000.

Seven grand.

$7 ,000?

Oh, Mary Beth, that is a raise.

That is all so amazing. It really is.
That is the exact price of a new fire

-retardant shake roof. How is that for a
coincidence?

You're in bright and early.

Uh -huh. These robberies have been going
on for quite some time, Christine. Take

a look.

Where'd you get this?

They had it over on the 2 -4 last week,
so they had a lot of research.

Right now, it's going to be very
helpful.

You're not the precinct already?

Yeah, the robbers started up in
Scarfield. Looks like they're working

down. Mary Beth, they're not going to
ask us about this case.

The whole interview was like a
character.

I'm not taking any chances. I deserve a
promotion.

I'm telling you, Mary Beth, we've got it
knocked.

You can spend your extra money.

Harvey already has it. I've got a call
for you on this camel jockey complaint.

You've got a real way with slurs,
Coleman.

Thank you. So anyways, this Abdullah
Musharraf... Musharraf, it's not that

What was your name before they changed
it?

Ashla Benovitz. That's an interesting
story I've got to tell you as a matter

fact. My grandfather was in line... What
was the call, Coleman? He was in line

at Ellis Island behind these two miners.

So he got the name Coleman.

Then later he changed the spelling. He
changed it from Coleman to Coleman.

Spelling is different.

You see, and then he met my grandma. And
that's another story also. You got a

problem with the computer?

Aren't you interested in history?

We have the criminal's name, Toby
Parker.

Here is where he lives.

Now go arrest him. Since you didn't do
your job, Zarguna did it for you.

Mr. Musharraf, if your sister has been
harmed in any way, we will take care of

it, sir.

Where is the victim, please? I don't
understand.

We will need to talk to Hazrat.

Zarguna saw everything. You should speak
to her. I'd be happy to take her

statement, and Sergeant Cagney will
speak with Hasrat, all right?

Very well.

You may speak to her.

But no one must ever know of this.

It would shame and destroy Hasrat.

Nice poster.

Not a kid's one, but Zarguna told us.

California's a great place.

I'm going to live there.

In Malibu, like Madonna.

Want to tell me what happened?

Nothing happened.

Really?

Your brother told me you'd been raped.

That's ridiculous.

He and my sister are crazy, that's all.

They just want to keep me a prisoner.

Marry me off to some old man.

Hafizullah. So I'll dry up like Zarguna.

She thinks she is an old maid already.

Where's Toby?

Did he ever force himself on you? No.

No, they are lying, okay?

He is scared of coming near me now.

It's bad enough they make me dress like
we're mountain people.

Look, I understand you're being angry
because they brought us in here to talk

you.

I know it's embarrassing.

So? So I want you to know that we're
here to help you.

Not your brother and not Toby, just you.

So if Toby...

Or anybody else has forced you or has
tried to force you into a sexual

that is a crime.

And that's what we do.

We stop crime.

Like Clint Eastwood?

How kind of him.

No, Toby and I are just friends.

Nothing goes on except in their heads.

You telling me the truth?

Yes.

even been with the man yet.

I want to wait until I go to Malibu.

Hasrat is over 16 years old, Miss
Musharraf. We can't make her do what we

her to do. In America, she's free.

Our parents were killed by Russian
tanks.

We know freedom, and we know its cost.

Then you know that Hasrat has rights.
She had a wonderful life before her

by the Koran.

That is what my parents died for.

So their children could live as Muslims,
not as slaves.

In this country, she could choose her
religion.

She could choose where she wants to
live. Nobody could make her do anything

against her will.

You are the police. Yes.

And unless your sister had a crime
committed against her or disappeared or

something... You will not protect her.

Miss, we certainly respect your
feelings. This is not feelings.

This is Islamic law.

You will not enforce this law because of
your feelings.

No, that is not true.

Here, where you're living now, in this
country, an individual's rights are

protected. That's what our freedom is
all about.

You are happy with your freedom of
pornography and prostitution?

For an Islamic woman, freedom is to
cherish the family.

Without it, there is no meaning.

I thought you had this knowledge.

I thought you would understand.

19 -year -old kid says to his older
sister, you may stay.

He'd be like Harb Jr. running things if
you weren't around.

That's a scary thought.

But in their culture, Marybeth, being
head of the household, that's a big

Uh -huh.

I still don't understand how come you
packed the packing list, Tom. Honey,

turn up. You know, Marybeth, those
people, they got quite a story.

I mean, they're like pawns in a global
chess game. They have been since Genghis

Khan. Think about it. Khyber Pass,
Bengal Lances. I mean, every time those

people turn around, there's somebody
blowing them up. And now the Russians,

CIA, it never stops with them. Honey, I
found it. I found it.

Shampoo bottle busted.

Oh. No, no, it's all right, Mary Beth. I
have it all right up here, right up

here. Why didn't you tell me?

I have been struggling to try and figure
out your system, sweetheart.

All you had to do was ask me. Come on,
baby, don't be snappy. We're moving into

our new home. Usually that makes people
happy. Are you happy, Harvey? Then I am

happy.

Oh, thank God. Pots and pans. No more
cardboard chicken.

Honey, what is it? Nothing, nothing.
It's just that I have an interview

that could mean $7 ,000 more a year to
this family. Honey, that is great. We

so proud of you. Proud?

No kidding.

You could have fooled me.

I haven't heard one word, unless you
count the roof compliment.

Nobody says, hey, you nervous?

Don't worry, you'll be great.

We're behind you. Nothing.

The one kid is nothing but hormones.

The other one is Mr. Goody -Two -Shoes,
and Alice doesn't care about anything

but her toes.

And I don't know who I'm living next
door to.

You turned the dining room table into a
private office.

Oh, babe. Everything is someplace else,
honey.

You and I were like machines.

We haven't had any time together. We
can't even talk or think. Honey, it's

move. It's the move.

It's temporary.

But you just said moving makes people
happy. Oh, honey, I don't know.

I don't know how you're supposed to
feel. I know you've got a lot of work to

I know the kids are nuts. But maybe,
maybe we turn ourselves into cogs and

grind it out.

Come on, that's not so bad.

Tell me, is it?

What exactly is a cog, anyway?

A cog?

Is it real?

In a machine.

late for callers, huh?

Hi. Hi. I'm your neighbor.

How do you do? Bill Dagley.

Yellow aluminum siding with the green
shutters. Two doors up across the

Yes, sir.

Welcome to the neighborhood.

Thank you. We're Mr. Lacey.

Lacey, yes. Nice to meet you. Nice to
meet you. And a little one, too. Hello

there, sailor.

I'll say hello to the two boys some
other time.

Well, how did you, uh... Oh, well, you
know.

Yes, sir.

Yeah, I can't tell you how wonderful it
is to have a young couple in our

neighborhood. Everybody else is retired
like me. Well, I spent 20 years in the

Brooklyn Naval Yard, and they closed her
up.

Well, uh... Oh, ha -ha, yeah, Betty Boy.

Listen, I just wanted to stop by and
invite you to a little...

Potluck Barbecue next Friday night to
welcome you to the neighborhood.

Now, I want you to bring the whole clan.

Ma 'am, I'd like you to bring your best
dish.

Because we got some gals here that think
they're champion cooks. You know what I

mean?

So we'll see you then, huh? All right.
Okay, Bill. Now, I'm in that yellow

there with the green shutter. See you
then.

There's another one with the green
shutter.

Champion cooks, huh?

Bring my best dish. I guess that's you.

This is a fat waste of time, Mary Beth.
I'm telling you,

Hasbrot is a teenager who's being
hassled by an overbearing brother. Trust

know all the signs.

Your brother is not overbearing.

He's not now. When I was a teenager, he
used to warn the guys I dated that he's

destined for prince.

Let's go.

Can you believe it?

If Alice ever brought home somebody like
that, I'd kill myself.

Your daughter isn't even a year old.

Yeah? You see who Harvey Jr. has got
himself hooked on to?

I don't even like her name.

Tiffany.

Sounds like a dance hall girl or a lamp.

like Abdullah.

I can appreciate his concern, if that's
what you mean.

The world is such a mess.

Not just for people who want definite
rules.

Is that why we're spending time digging
around a family squabble when we have an

interview with a major task force today?

Walking the sanity walls of a soup.

A rape was reported, Christine. We're
following through.

Maybe she's too ashamed to talk about
it.

If I'd known we were coming here, I
would have worn something grief

Look, if she's in trouble, you're
looking at the wrong guy.

I'm legit.

Is she okay?

She's fine. How long have you known her?

A week, maybe.

A week?

Yeah, she came into my bookcase, and I
never saw anyone that looked like that

before.

So we started talking, and the next
thing you know... You asked her out.

No, she's just a kid.

But she's got this kind of exotic look
about her. So she came up here and

modeled a few things for me.

Did you ever make advances towards her?

Okay, so I wanted it. So what's the
crime?

Okay, once I tried to get her in the
sack.

But she freaked out and I backed off.

But I didn't touch her.

I don't have to.

You know, bright lights, big city.

She hangs around, she'll come around.

When's the last time you saw her?

Oh, a couple days, I guess.

I tracked down her number and I gave her
a call, but this guy answered.

And I totally lost it. I don't know.

These designs are pretty violent, Mr.
Parker.

Yeah, well, so's the world.

I just sell what works.

Yeah. Well, thank you so much for your
time. You got a store, you got a studio,

but with rent and...

Business costs and all, that's a lot of
expense for somebody your age.

Well, you know, it's the old story.

It's a Wall Street daddy and his crazy
son.

It's the American way.

He

did

not rape her. Are you satisfied?

His family's got money. He's got to be
telling the truth.

Right, Mary Beth. That's my personal
polygraph. Hey, as long as somebody's

few grand, they're okay by me.

I'm trying to follow your reasoning
here. Fine, follow this. We are going to

police plaza now.

We're going to get there early. We're
going to show them we're enthused, and

we're going to ace those interviews.

The least we can do is run a make on the
guy.

Available units to 312 East 4th Street,
1039, possible kidnapping.

That's Musharraf's complaint.

Let's take it. No, we've already gotten
two phony calls from him already.

What do we got? We got a quota?

Two visits per problem?

There's a kidnapping, Christine.

He's going to want to see us.

Tough. We're not his personal servants.

Turn left here.

Mary Beth, I said that you're... Are you
deaf, detective?

Christine, do me a favor, huh?

Please?

Let's go see what happened.

There's people in trouble here. We will
make the interview. We have the time.

All right, fine.

You're rotten at taking orders.

I simply give you other options so you
can pick the best order to give.

This is car 21 responding to your 1039.

What do you want? She's not there. I
told you of that criminal Toby.

We were just at Toby Parker's. Your
sister is not there. Of course I should

you take the side of the American
criminal.

Hold it right there, all right? Why
don't you take a look around? Do you

anybody who packs to get kidnapped?

She even took a picture of Malibu. Stop
protecting him. Stop your lies. You calm

down here. You're getting out of hand,
sir.

Now, where did you notice she was gone?
Now, today, you idiot. You watch your

mouth, all right, or I'll take you in.
No woman threatens me.

Please

accept

our apologies.

My brother is young.

His love for us is great.

May we speak?

Find her and make her understand.

Miss Moshe Ruff, I have a son, 16, and
it's very hard for me to see him growing

away. I see it in all sorts of little
ways. He complains all the time. If it's

not the pants, it's the chicken. Mary
Beth, you've got to go. This is not the

same.

She is a woman of Islam, not some twig
floating in the stream.

She has responsibilities.

She is promised in marriage.

If Hafezullah hears about this, the
marriage will be ruined.

Maybe if you give her some time, she'll
come home.

I'm very sorry, but we have an important
appointment.

I bet.

Believe me, Miss Musharraf, kids have a
way of coming around.

We could have social services contact
you. No.

Aren't there laws about obeying?

Doesn't the family mean anything?

You could report it to missing persons.

They would find her, maybe.

But they cannot make her come back.

Not if she doesn't want to, ma 'am.

Miss Musharraf, you have to manage your
family by yourself.

The police can't do it for you.

I wonder what Harvey's putting together
for the barbecue.

Can you imagine?

All these brand new neighbors and their
first impression of us is going to be

based on what Harvey cooked.

He's some cook.

I'll tell you something, Mary Beth. If
we hadn't been in a hurry, it would have

dragged that jerk in by his hair along
with that sister of his. They got a

little out of control. I would have been
crazy, too, if I thought one of my kids

was lost.

Mary Beth, we've answered every one of
their bogus calls we have been over

backwards. to straighten out their mess
without one crime having been committed.

Harvey says these Afghanis have been
persecuted for years.

And now with the Russians invading and
all, and here in the United States, it's

the IA and the INS. Oh, will you look at
this?

You're not allowed to...

I don't know if that really constitutes
an emergency. That is an order. Yes,

sir.

Maybe later we can drop you over at the
U .N.

Well, I've heard a lot about you,
Sergeant Cagney.

Oh, nice.

Please, have a seat.

Thank you.

I'm Lieutenant Sabini, by the way.

Well, it's nice to meet you, Lieutenant.

So, let's get down to brass tacks.

How many armed robbers at your precinct?

About as many as anybody else, I guess.

Oh, quite a lot, actually.

Probably more than any other team on the
squad.

Understand that if you're chosen for
this task force, that means nothing.

26 -hour days.

Eat, sleep, and breathe robbery.

Now, with two children and a brand -new
baby at home, maybe living out of your

car isn't something you want.

I'm already married to my job.

The more time I spend on it, the happier
I am. Oh, no, sir.

I mean, I love my family, but I'd love
this opportunity, too. We're not talking

about a commitment of months or anything
here, anyway.

Are we, sir?

You got to be sergeant pretty quickly.

You think you'll have trouble being in
charge of some fellas with more years on

the force than you?

I would say I'm a go -getter.

Yes, sir.

I think I handled authority rather well,
actually.

I enjoy it.

We're looking for self -confidence and
decisiveness.

Do you consider yourself decisive?

I guess so.

I mean, uh... I know. I am, yes. I guess
I... I do.

I mean, I know.

I am.

That's authority for you, Lieutenant. A
double -edged sword without a handle.

It's been a pleasure. I'll see you soon.

Oh, you certainly will, Lieutenant. I'll
look forward to it. Go ahead.

Bye. Bye.

You'll be hearing from us.

Ace did marry Beth a hole -in -one, a
clean sweep. Why do they always have to

men? They immediately assume that
somebody's mother is going to be a

None of them have children.

Have you ever hit a home run, Mary Beth?
Woo!

That ball arching over towards the sun.
It's a great feeling. I hope I didn't

blow it for us, Christine.

Don't worry. We are in. Believe me. Wait
till the guys in the precinct hear

about this. They're going to be so
jealous. I'm going home. I've got to get

ready for this barbecue the neighbors
invited us to.

Oh, boy. Dining in the land of leisure
since, huh? Let it go, all right,

Christine? I'll see you tomorrow.

Invest in a fence and an eight -foot
hedge pronto.

You want to live behind six locks in a
fancy loft apartment where nobody knows

anybody? You have to have a key to get
in the elevator?

Terrific. We happen to think that there
is some value in getting to know your

neighbors and in making friends, which
is why we live in a community,

that's important to me and Harvey.

Hey! What?

Have a nice barbecue.

Sign me out, all right?

You got it.

Hey!

Sergeant, Sergeant, Sergeant.

Boy!

What a time to squabble. Come on,
tonight's a night for relaxation and

celebration. She's right, Marcus. Why
don't you go home to party?

Go to the movies, relax, take it easy.

I'll stay here and handle it.

Gaten, open.

Retake wing.

Good, I'll sign you out.

Hey, Cagney, is there anything I can get
for you for the party or something,

huh?

Well, you cut together, Big Dan.

Didn't you hear Gaten's a body snatcher?
Yeah, but this is a stranger. Cagney,

what about the help I'm supposed to get?

What? Don't be too carotid.

But the lieutenant wants me.

It's the price of confidence. Everybody
wants a pizza.

Coming, Lieutenant.

Yeah, but I... I'll give you a hand,
Crutch.

All

the

other women had green bean and pimento
salad and salmon loaf and bunk cake.

Well, the other women aren't cops, and
apparently neither are you. Me? Oh, I

work for the city. What was all that
about?

I didn't want to go into it. And I'd
like to be a normal person for once.

Everybody else is a housewife. Why not
me?

Because you're Mary Beth Lacey. You are
not one of the gals. I am, too.

We talked about the good neighbor club
and tulips. I'm as homie as the next

person.

So what was the dirty joke, Harv?

It was about a goat and a bra.

Oh, Harvey. Oh, come on, Mary Beth. I
only laugh to be polite. I mean, you've

got to go along with these guys.

You think we'll ever fit in?

I don't know.

You know, maybe you should have just
tossed this, huh?

You should have made your spaghetti
sauce, sweetheart.

Hello?

Oh, hiya, Chris.

Yeah.

Osrod's dead, Mary Beth.

They found her outside Toby Parker's
place.

He's gone.

She was cut up pretty bad.

I'm on my way.

I never heard her.

Never did.

But she was living with you in your
studio.

Well, yeah, so what?

We hadn't even made it yet.

Well, that must have really put you out.
Look, I'm a patient man.

I'm not a killer.

When was the last time you spoke to her?

It was last night in the boutique.

She came by to get the apartment keys.

I hadn't made copies yet.

She was planning on staying a while,
huh?

Well, yeah, she had no place else to go.

You mean she never mentioned any names?

She didn't have any other friends?

Well, how should I know?

I mean, all she ever ragged about was
her family. You know, they called day

night.

It was getting to be a drag.

Now, let me get this straight.

You ask a girl to come and live with
you. She's got a wacko family that ties

your telephone and makes your life
miserable, but that's okay with you

you're cool.

She doesn't even have any money.
Anything she would have, she probably

of you. But you do all of this for her
and she's not even sleeping with you?

How cool is that?

I kind of dug her, okay?

There was this kind of innocence there.

She would have made a really great
model.

But you couldn't touch her.

So you got tired of being a chump and
you stabbed the little prude and took

I didn't kill her.

Maybe you don't believe me, but that's
your problem.

I don't think I should talk anymore
until my dad's lawyers get here.

Call him up, Buster.

But you better come up with something
good because you're all we've got.

And we're going to tie this wrap to you
tight as those little slashed -up

dresses you make.

What do you think?

I don't think so. Really? You check,
you've got no priors.

I think you're right. What do we have to
go on?

How about the fiancé?

What's his name? Papa Zola.

One

of

these would certainly jazz up the rec
room.

One of these is worth half your house.

I hope this is to your liking. Thank
you. Yes, thank you.

Now.

How may I help you?

Regarding Hazrat Musharraf?

We understand you intended to marry her.

Yes.

And now she's a tragedy.

Horrible.

And how horribly common in this country.

Yes, sir.

How long did you know Hazrat?

A year, perhaps.

But that matters little.

Our families knew each other for many
years.

I helped bring the children here after
their parents were killed.

And you were to get Hazrat as some sort
of a thank you?

Not at all.

I gave Abdullah a loan to start a store.

During one of our meetings, I met
Hazrat.

We were attracted immediately.

Her brother was amenable to the match.

When was the last time you spoke to her?

A week ago, I suppose.

What did you talk about?

Her feelings about our wedding had
changed.

She was no longer the daughter of Islam.

I had fallen in love with.

It is hard for a traditional man to find
a beautiful wife in this country.

If the wedding had taken place, what
would have become of Abdullah's loan?

There are no loans or debts within a
family.

The wealth or lack of it belongs to
everyone.

Did you discuss this with Abdullah?

Of course.

Sadly, yesterday I had to withdraw from
the marriage agreement.

I heard she had left her home for
another man.

It was a great disappointment.

How's Abdullah's business dealing?

He's like his father.

more a fighter than a man of business.

Thank you.

I came to see Abdul.

He's not here.

Are you sure?

Go. See for yourself.

When's the last time you saw him?

I warned you.

I told you again and again.

But you did nothing.

We understand this is hard for you.

By our faith, you too should be dead.

Uh -huh.

Did either you or your brother see
Hazarat last night?

We see a hole.

You see only little pieces.

You ask for Abdullah, the murderer.

We didn't accuse him of anything, miss.

Look at yourself.

You cause a death, you suffer the same.

I have to warn you about making threats
here.

You have destroyed my family.

Understand me?

We came here to start again.

Now they are gone.

There is nothing left for me.

Nothing.

I cannot say how much I...

I understand you're burying yourself in
the work.

You know, ever since your mom died,
Claudia's been bugging me to get you

for dinner.

No, thanks.

I'm really okay.

Colin says you've got to do these again.

You put the 61s in the wrong box.

Fine. Fine.

No problem.

I'm going to do these before I do this.

I can't do them after this.

I got Victor. Victor.

Talk.

Straight up in the air.

Huh?

Ladies.

Hi. Welcome.

There's a gentleman waiting for you up
in interrogation.

I am here.

What happens to me now?

You want to talk with a lawyer here?

There is no need.

In my house, we will always live by
Islamic law.

But my house is in your country now.

I broke your law.

I place myself in your authority.

Did you kill your sister, Mr. Mutaro?

I did not go there to kill her.

I tried to get her to come back.

If you do not want to marry him, I told
her, we will find somebody else.

She refused.

She had lost her soul.

So, he didn't do it for the money.

Killed her because she lost her soul.

Isn't that great?

Still murder.

Yeah?

Want a piece with him?

Yeah, I got something I want to talk to
you about here. I just got word about

the task force.

You didn't get it?

Yes, sir.

It's a political thing, really. That's
impossible.

We knocked him out with our interview.

You did, Sergeant. I didn't. It was me,
wasn't it, sir?

That's okay. I can learn from my
mistakes. Being interviewed is an art.

No, Lacey, you rated very highly.

It was Cagney who was rejected.

What? I couldn't figure it either, so I
did some checking around.

Turns out Lieutenant Sabini used to
partner with our old friend Hennessy.

Hennessy?

I guess when he realized it was you who
blew the whistle on his buddy for sexual

harassment, that was it for you.

Lousy. He knew who I was through that
whole interview.

Possible. Possible, my butt!

That man was playing me the whole damn
time, Lieutenant.

I didn't have a chance of a snowball in
hell.

The hands of the clock meet.

What in the hell is that supposed to
mean?

Lieutenant. It means that sometimes a
dog bites back.

Look, if you think of Hennessy, I'm
awfully glad that you did.

There's always going to be someone in
this department who's going to hate you

for it, and you're going to have to
learn to live with that.

Well, I'm not going to sit here and be
made a fool of.

Well, I would appreciate it if you
would, just for now.

There'll be plenty of other task forces.

And I would like you to consider,
Sergeant, there's other people here

yourself affected by this.

It's been

quite

a morning, huh?

You win some, you lose some. Or maybe if
you lose some, you lose some more.

I'm sorry, Mary Beth. What do you have
to be sorry about?

The jerk ripped us off.

That's nothing to do with you.

Well, it does.

And now you're getting dumped on, too.

I was the one that told you, do it.

And you did the right thing, Christine.

He deserved to be turned in.

I mean, in the last few minutes, I have
been over and over the whole thing, and

believe me, it doesn't go anywhere. What
am I supposed to do, yell at you?

Well, you must be angry with somebody. I
voted for me. All right, Christine, I

am disappointed, all right?

your promotion and I missed a shot at
mine because you stood up to some creep

hundred years ago and his friend
remembers.

So it's you and I'm angry at you because
you're all mixed up in my thing.

And it's also not you, Christine. It's
the circumstances and the way the

works. You and I, there's no control
here. You understand me? There's control

here, Mary Beth. What do you think that
Sabini and his good old boys have their

hands on?

And as long as you're my partner, you
are pulled down with me. You've

my garbage, Mary Beth.

That's not your fault, Christine.

What does it matter?

We both got ripped off.

You think I'm ever going to make
lieutenant now?

Oh, no, they'll make sure that this
loudmouth chippy stays right here where

want her.

So should we shrug our shoulders and
walk away?

We did that with Hazrat, and she died
for it.

That's not true.

I wanted that kid to have a chance.

I wanted her to go west and see the
Grand Canyon, make love in Malibu,

whatever she wanted.

But I couldn't make that happen any more
than you and I could stop our mixed -up

brother from stabbing her half a dozen
times.

But that doesn't mean we're passive. We
fight, you and I, we fight every damn

day.

Cogs. What?

In a machine, the wheels, they call them
cogs.

Well, whatever.

What you mean is that if we keep on
plugging away, eventually we make a

difference, right?

No.

But we look great.
