All language subtitles for Baretta S02E14

Nice wheels.

Yeah.

I like them.

What?

Where's this piece of fluff you got for
me?

Where's the piece of fluff you got for me?

Things sound like they're kind of tense.

Yeah.

She won't tell me nothing, though.

The chick's so scared, she's scaring me.

Whatever she's laying on is something
heavy.

Where is she?

In the back seat.

Is he the one?

If you're gonna get a
fair shake anywhere in

town, it's gonna be
at this man's doorstep.

I got a friend.

He, uh...

We need help.

He says that if you help us, maybe we can
help you.

Hold on just a second, sugar.

I don't deal in he says and she says and
maybe.

Let's get right down to the dirt floor.

What kind of help are we talking about?

Just staying alive, mister.

That's all.

Just staying alive.

Please help him.

Okay, okay, pal.

I want to tell you something right out in
front, though.

Like the man says, I can give you a fair
shake, but if you burn me, I'm dirtier

than any hood you ever dealt with in your
life.

Now, where is this he says, she says guy?

Say, wait, wait a minute, man.
Look here.

Now, I think this is where I came in.

This chick and her man is hotter than the
Fourth of July.

All right, I understand.

Don't nobody coop the rooster.

Come out with me, sugar.

Bringing in these weird chicks and their
crazy old dudes, boy.

Just get out of here and help her out.

That's all.

Help me out by leaving me alone.

That's how I take it.

Wait here.

Yeah, sure.

Don.

Don.

Sweetheart, it's me.

Rooster says he's straight.

His name's Baretta.

All right, cop.

Now, if you're straight, and if I can
trust you, maybe we can make a deal.

If, maybe.

You're hands shaking, kid.

If I was you, I'd stop
all that latrine lawyer jive

and negotiating and just
put my tickets on the table.

Put that piece away before you hurt
yourself.

I'd like to see who I'm dealing with.

Take it easy, pal.

I wouldn't be here if I didn't want a
deal.

And put that thing away before you and me
start dancing.

That's the first order of business.

Go ahead.

What's on your mind?

If I can bust up a
murder ring and put the

guys away, you keep
me from going to the joint?

Did you do any killings?

No, man.

If you can give it to the D.A.

and they fall, all of them,

you won't do any hard time.

Rita and I are from out of town.

A brother down in Philly
by the name of Walrus

turned us on to some
local brothers, the Saints.

I know them.

Lolita's a guy named Coz Rogers.

We've been hanging in with them for about
a year now.

One thing led into
another, and recently some

of them start filling
out of town contracts.

This sickle gang started snuffing people
from out of town for a price?

Yeah.

One grand a head.

And I was the wheel man.

Then it was your turn in the barrel,
and you didn't have the guts.

Don't make me a killer, mister.

Yeah, sure.

I swear it.

We've been holed up in this place for four
days.

I left with him when he split.

Cos got the whole city out looking for us.

He's got a price on it.

It's had 500 alive, a thousand dead.

No wonder you don't want to go to the
joint.

For that kind of money, you wouldn't last
a week in there.

Look, man, Cos already killed the guy in
the joint.

That's why I cannot do any hard time.

Okay.

Dom, that's your name?

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

Me and your girlfriend, we'll take a
little walk and make some phone calls.

She can listen so you know I'm straight.

Then when I come back, I'll stash you
someplace safe, and I go see the D.A.

But first, you give me the names,
dates, places, all like that.

Dom, you got a deal.

Let's go, sugar.

Gentlemen, this is a new
jurisdiction for me, so I

couldn't expect you to know
how we operate up here now.

Mr. Stone, I want to apologize for
bringing you out at this hour tonight.

We don't normally do this sort of thing.

But I think you can see what's happening
here.

We're running out of time.

Yes, I understand you have to meet these
people in the morning.

Yes, sir.

We get a statement from this kid.

By noontime tomorrow, we're going to be
pulling people off the streets.

Yes, yes, but it can't be done.

What?

Look, who says that it can't be done?

I say it can't be done, Lieutenant.

I won't make a deal with a criminal.

Mr. Stone, this guy witnessed four
murders.

With his testimony, we can put them people
away for life.

Now, what you mean is he's a co
-conspirator in four murders.

And now he's changing his mind and he
wants me to forget all about that.

No way. No, all he wants
to do is stay alive, that's all.

If he goes to the joint, they're going to
kill him.

If he stays on the street, they're going
to kill him.

His only chance for making it is to make a
deal with the Heat.

Yeah, well, this is one Heat he's not
going to make a deal with.

Now, you go out there and you tell him
that we'll take his statement,

like any other criminal, and then we'll let
the courts decide what to do from there.

He's not going to go for a deal like that.
He's not going to go for it.

He wants some kind of assurance.

(...)

Let me try and explain something here,
you see.

In the police department, we have always
found that it works a good deal better if

we don't compromise our witnesses when they
come forward with information like that.

Now, in this case, we've got a lot of
lives at stake here.

We've got a lot of laws at stake here.

And they can't be compromised.

There's four murderers out there on the
street.

They're paid killers.

If we don't do something about it,
they're going to be filling more contracts.

All this guy says is keep me alive.

He'll testify and you can clean the
streets up.

I am not dictated to by the streets.

Now, I run my office, and you do your job.

And your job is to go out
there and say whatever

you have to say to
bring this man in here.

I ain't going to do it.

Are you refusing?

That's what I do.
I refuse.

Lieutenant, if he doesn't make an arrest,
if he doesn't bring that girl and her

boyfriend in here by noon tomorrow,
I'm holding you personally responsible.

He doesn't talk for me.

I talk for myself.

You don't want to make a deal with the
guy?

Tony, that's your job.

Tony, when he keeps your
mouth open... That's my job.

Go on out in the hall and wait for me,
will you?

Don't say another word.

I'll see you in a few minutes.

Okay, Mrs. Stone, I'll tell you what I'm
going to do for you.

I'm going to discharge my departmental
responsibilities to you by doing my level

best to persuade Detective Baretta to
exceed the request.

By noon tomorrow, Lieutenant, or you and
Baretta will be facing charges.

Who do you think you're talking to in
there?

You think you're talking to some two-bit
shyster back in there?

That's an assistant district attorney,
do you know that?

I don't care whether you like Stone or
not, but you can't talk to him that way.

That's an assistant district attorney.

Well, you could have fooled me.

As far as I'm concerned, he could be the
president of the United States.

It don't make no difference.

He's still shirking his responsibility.

And because of his attitude, some people
may die.

Okay, look, we're going to go at this
another way.

I'm going to go over his head.

I'm going to go to Maryland.

I'll go to the district attorney.

I'll get us another deal.

But in the meantime, you bring that kid
in, right?

Wait a minute.

I can't bring the kid in, boss.

What do you mean, you can't bring the kid
in?

I got him already.

I already made the deal with him.

Now, just take it easy.

I ain't going back on my word.

Not because I love him, but because as
long as I got him on my side, I got a

chance of busting a murder-for-hire
record.

Well, you know that Stone is never going
to see it that way, don't you?

I know Stone. I know where
he's hiding right behind his book.

Well, I'm in it, boss.

I'm in it all the way up to here.

Now you got the ball.

Oh, Baretta.

I'm with you, Baretta.

Just up to a point.

What do you mean?

You know what your problem is going to be
here, don't you?

What do you think you can get done by noon
tomorrow, huh?

Nobody sold you out.

I made a deal with you, and I'm going to
stick with the deal.

Not because I'm Little Lord Fauntleroy,
and not because I wouldn't like to call

you and put you in a slammer, but because I
got bigger fish to fry, you understand me?

I'm going to bust that gang, and
I'm going to stop the murdering,

because that's my job, and
that's the name of that tune.

Well, if you think I'm going to help you,
man, you are dreaming, all right?

You're dreaming!
- Oh, yeah?

Because as far as I am concerned,
you are another fink cop.

I told you, Rita, dealing with the heat
will cause you nothing but trouble.

You're right, baby.

May wish you'd leave town just like we
were planning.

Sure, baby.

You don't got no options.

If you were going to leave town,
you'd have done it a long time ago.

Go on, go out there and hit the streets.

You won't get across one
of them before somebody

fingers you and Coz will
feed you to the barracuda.

And I'm supposed to sit here and let you
throw me in the slammer, huh?

Listen, man, I'm sick of that kind of
talk.

You think you're in a corner?

I'm in a worse corner than you.

I'm the one who put my head in a chopping
block and they cut it off.

Now, you don't make no more deals.

I'm the deal maker and this is the deal.

We stay together on this.

I'm going to take you out of here and put
you someplace safe.

Then you're going to
tell me everything you

know about that gang
and I'm going to bust them.

And I'm going to try to make it stick
without your testimony.

You got that?

And if you don't?

And if I don't?

Then we all fall.

Smoke that.

All right, so we went to Philly.

Some dudes there want some people hit.

Guys who come to this town regularly.

So Walrus becomes the bag man.

He brings the bread from Philly to here.

He sets up the hits.

The people come to town, they fall.

And the guys back in Philly who push the
button are clean.

Boy, that's beautiful, man.

That's beautiful.

Now tell me again about Walrus and Coz.

They used to ride together.

Rita was his chick.

She went with me when he left town.

And when he got to Philly, he got busted.

Six months for assault.

Good.

All right, let's leave that for a minute.

Go back to the hit.

The one that you were in on.

It's a come down on some old man.

Something about him walking his dog.

They didn't have enough to go on,
man.

You got to give me something I can get
into.

I told you, I split, man.

But I do know that Coz already got the
bread for it.

So it's going to come down real soon.

Listen, if I'm going
to use this guy Walrus for a cover.

Everything you gave me
is good. I'll remember it.

But you got to give me some inside stuff.

Something that only Coz would know about.

Maybe something you know about both of
them.

Some in kind of stuff.

That's him.
That's the guy that's going to help me.

Just sit tight.

Billy.

Yeah.

Man.

Put them up there.
- Prices.

All right.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

I hate to bring you in on a thing like
this, but I got no choice.

The way things are going, if something
goes wrong...

Tony, I live by Murphy's law.

What's that?

If anything can go wrong, it will.

I love you, partner.

This is what I want you to do.

Get your shoes out
there on the streets and

cover this motel for a
block in every direction.

I mean, keep that sniffer working.

If you see anything out of line,
if a butterfly ain't flying right,

get on the horn to me right away.
You understand?

Right.

What are you looking for?

I said, what are you looking for?

I'm looking for a little bit of tubing.

You know, the quarter-inch kind?

I got a stone hitting
me on a... road.

Tubing, huh?

Tubing.

There's some tubing right over here.
- What?

There's some tubing right here.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, you did that on purpose, didn't you?

You called me over here so you could stamp
on my hand.

And how come you did that?

Because this is private property to
Saints, man.

Oh, yeah?

I didn't see no sign.

The man didn't set private property.

Sign, man!

Wait a minute!
- Come on!

I'll cut his throat out!

Take that knife off.

You're the boss man here?

That's right.
Take it off.

We got business.

Take it off and we'll discuss it.

He's all yours.

Back off.

Okay.

You and me gotta talk.

You better make it good.

Else I'm gonna turn you to the wolves.

No, no, boss man.

You don't want the wolves eating a man
that's holding your bread in his pocket.

And lots of it.

Talk to me.

Sure.

Maybe these school kids shouldn't hear.

Back off. Come on.

Come on, John.

Take five.

A man you do business with.

A fella named Walrus.

Him and me, we ride together.

Except that we took a fall in Philly and
he's in the slammer doing time.

And he sent me here to take care of
business for him.

Looks like there's a new man around here.

I know the names of the folks to be dealt
with.

I got all the bread involved and all the
gigs.

I guess I'm your new man.

They call me the ghost.

You used to ride with the gypsies.

Them chumps couldn't lick my boots.

I'm a Satan.

Hmm.

Maybe we ought to stop dancing and go on
my bike.

I'll show you a funny story.

One G now.

And three more when the hit goes down.

The folks that are supposed to fall are on
their way into town for a convention.

When they get here, I'll get a call.

And when I get a call, you'll know who,
what, where, and all like that.

Wait a minute, man.

You're talking too fast.

How'd you get locked into this gig?

I told you.

Me and Walrus is tight.

But so tight we were sharing the same
mama, a chick named Rita.

I'll tell you how close we are.

One night he told me a story and I was on
the floor cracking up.

A story about you and him, how you went
bear-hunting.

You got all jacked out of
shape on acid and tequila

and you did this funny
trick with a chicken, man.

Hey, man.

I don't like that story.

I heard that story.

And Walrus has got a loose lip and you got
a loose lip.

You want to hang in here, you better
button up.

Right.

So, want to have some chili with us?

Yeah.

Okay.

Is the guy still mad at me?

Is it okay if I hang around here?

You better split, man.
Just get out of here, huh?

Hey, come on, babe.

What are you talking about?

You're wasting, man.

Give me a break, huh?

Hey, guys.

Hey, what are you sitting here for?

I thought I told you not to show your face
in here again.

Didn't you understand that?

It caused me not to sit.

Get out!

I want you to take your hand off her.

I want you to take your hand off her.

You better pack it in now.

Listen, your gig comes early tomorrow.

I want your head off straight.

You run a tight ship there, boss.

When you're doing a pro's work, you've got
to have a little professional discipline.

I always say, when things get lean,
look for the man who's tough and mean.

I'm gonna take some of that professional
discipline advice myself and go on home

because I'll be expecting a phone call
tonight.

And then we're gonna have a little
business tomorrow.

Sir, put a lid on what we was talking
about and keep it cooking.

But don't let nobody else get it because I
will be back.

I don't see any more of them around,
boss.

They must all be in there.

I'm gonna go watch them.

What's bugging you, John?

Okay, well, look.

Every morning at ten sharp, he comes out
of his apartment house walking a bulldog.

Sit tight, boss.
Something's gone down.

I'm with you, Baretta.

Hey, man, what's known at you?

Look, that new guy Ghost, man.

I mean, you put me down in front of him
last night, man.

I mean, really bad.

Uh, hey.

I like his moves.

But you're still my main man, okay?

Okay.

Now... no slips.

He just gave Johnny Boy a piece.

He's coming your way, boss.

I'm coming down.

When you bust him, make it look like an
ordinary Ralph.

Then when you find the gun on him,
nail him good.

That way, nobody will suspect anything.

Hey, look, don't bother me, will you?

You're not talking to Foley.

I've been out here and done this a few
times before, okay?

Give me a yell as soon as you got it.

Cover this side of the park, in case he
doubles back.

Boss, what happened?

They got held up.

This guy's dying.

You tell him, right?

Well, I'm sorry.

I'll get you an ambulance.
- Get an APB on that biker.

Who are you?

The DA's office.
Stone.

He wants to see you guys real bad.

Tell him I want to see him.

These are very serious charges,
Edward.

This could be very bad if there's any
validity to them.

Now, these charges are ridiculous.

They'll never hold up in court.

Well, then we'll force Baretta to drop the
whole thing.

Oh, no.

We'll file a counter suit.

He's a... he's a dangerous man.

He's not gonna get anybody.

I think, uh, you gentlemen know why we're
here.

Everybody here is acquainted with the
Assistant Attorney General, Mr. Pruitt.

Good to see you, Walter.

Stone.
Pruitt.

Okay, gentlemen, we might as well get to
it.

Detective Baretta here is preferring
charges against you, Mr. Stone.

Baretta, you're crazy.

I mean, you don't think you can make this
stick.

I'm not fooling around, sir.

I charged you with murder.

I read the complaint, Baretta.

It's not a complaint.

It's a charge.

I think he's directly responsible for that
old man's death.

What's the basis for the charge?

I base this charge, sir, on the fact that
I told Mr. Stone that I had a witness who

would come forward and testify against the
man who killed that old guy.

I told him the hit was going down.

I told him it was paid for.

I told him what he could do to stop it
from going down.

He didn't act on none of that.

And in my book, that makes him an
accessory before the fact in a murder case.

Oh, come on, Baretta, be serious.

Are you saying that
because I wouldn't grant

immunity to a known
criminal that I'm responsible?

That's what I'm saying.

I'm saying that you are directly
responsible.

Now, your emotional involvement...

My emotional involvement ain't got nothing
to do with this, sir.

I live out there in the streets.

On my end of the stick, it ain't theory,
it's lives.

My job is to keep people from killing each
other.

His job is to help me.

He didn't help me, he stopped me.

And that makes him responsible.

Where do we go from here now?

Well, this is an unusual circumstance.

And my office has had time to check out
the charges.

And they have sufficient merit to warrant
a grand jury hearing.

See, it's my hope that by calling in
Lieutenant Brubaker and Detective Baretta

that they might be able to resolve this
whole thing here and now.

Now, wait a minute.

Are you saying that... Are you
recommending that I break the law?

Are you saying that I
should leave a wanted

criminal on the streets
when I can apprehend him?

Well, if that's what
you're saying, then you

go ahead with your
grand jury investigation.

My position is very clear on that.

My position is clear.

You realize that until there's a
determination by the grand jury,

I'm going to have to take your authority
away as assistant district attorney.

Uh, Mr. Pruitt, let me get something
straight ahead.

Does that mean that as
of this moment Mr. Stone

is not part of the
district attorney's office?

That is right.

That Mr. Merriman, your office and my
office have got something to talk about.

Wait.
Hold it.

Hold it.

Now, the attorney general's office is going
to have no part of any plea bargaining.

If you gentlemen want
to sit here and discuss

the matter yourselves,
that's up to you.

But this office will have no part of it.

None of them.

Yeah.

Mr. D.A., what my boss is saying is that
him and me, we're on the hook already.

We've got a guy out there that says he
don't want to do no hard time.

If you give him that guarantee,
I can bring in four murderers.

Now you're on the hook.

Okay, Baretta.

Tell the kid he's got a deal.

Yes, sir.

Oh.

Oh.

You'll never be a Florence Nightingale.

You back among us, pal?

Yeah, I'm with you.

I got a headache, man.

Tell me again, partner.

What do you remember?

What do I remember?

Let's see.

I gave the signal.

Yeah.

I knocked.

She opened the door.

Yeah.

I walked in and whoop.

Black.

I don't know.

He must have hit me or something.

That hurts.

You feel I can get up now?

Huh?

Well, I don't want to stay here.

Let's get rolling.

Hey, Jack, bring me and the lady another
cold beer, would you?

He's saying getting off the warm.

Hey, play for you.

Can I talk to you?

Hey, man, you better get out of here.

Now, listen, man, I want to fix things
with me and Coz.

I hear he's looking for Dom and Rita.

Yeah?
So?

Well, I can get you to him.

Rita called my sister, looking for bread.

Come on, what do you say, Pike,
huh?

You better hang in here, man.

Let me go get Coz.

Okay.

Hey, I'll have a beer.

Chances of finding them two jimokes alive
are slim and none.

If they try to take a hike,
somebody's gonna spot

them, blow the whistle,
and they'll fall like flies.

Tony, I don't like the idea of you going
back there with the Sickle Gang.

If that fella that shot the
old man in the park saw you,

he may have told the rest
of the guys that you're a cop.

It don't make no difference.

If I don't get this thing together pretty
soon, Soames and Stone and Brubaker are

all gonna cut a piece out of me and make
soup out of it.

I gotta go back to the Sickle Gang anyway
to find out what this guy Coz is doing.

What do you find out?

Your bike is Dom and Rita?

No surface, man.

Dead or alive.

I ain't surprised.

Well, keep on stroking, man.

Take the old sniffer here with you.

See what you can find.

If you're head ache, kill the couple.

Thanks and luck!

Okay, these are your moves.

Look it over one at a time.

Know your move.

Pass it on.

I think it's pretty accurate because I
don't think I, Slimy Fran, would lie to us.

Hey, what's up here?

Got a minute?

Sit in.

What's going down?

Just a little family business.

A couple of our people have run out on us
and it's time for us to run down on them.

Where you been?

I've been tending to a little of our
family business.

Did you get that call?

I got that call.

The time is now, except this is liable to
interfere with it, man.

Maybe we can make it a special day and we
can take care of both.

We'll do the family business first,
then we can take care of the citizens.

Okay, what are we talking about?

It's a guy named Dom and somebody you
know.

Rita.

You're gonna dust Rita?

They're holed up at this warehouse here at
12th and Post.

Wow.

That's right.

Man, she knows him.

She lets you in.

You get in there and you set him up for us
and we'll be right behind you.

And then we're gonna waste them our way.

You dig?

Yeah.

I could go for some of that freaky stuff,
man, dusting the chick.

Hey, Bagman.

You ever seen anybody done by ritual?

No, I don't think you have.

I wonder if you even got the stomach for
it.

I've been around a block a few times,
pal.

Yeah, I'm gonna ride with you,
okay?

Just to see how you operate.

Yeah, sure.

Come on.

I'll see you there, boss.

53rd, let me show you my badge.

Throw the blade away now!

Okay?

Easy with your left hand.

Easy.

You stinkin' cop.

Shut your face.

Okay?

Okay, all right.

Cuff that guy and book a murder one.

I'm gonna use the radio.

You stink!

Hey!
Lighten up!

Get down on your knees!

Down!

This is Detective Baretta from the 53rd
Precinct.

Pass me through to Lieutenant Brubaker.

Same precinct?

Hi, Mr. Brubaker.

Hi, boss.

Don!

How'd you find us, man?

I didn't find you.

Coz found you.

He's on his way here.

How?

What difference does it make?

You're just lucky I was here.

We ain't got much time.

They're underway.

Well, we're gonna get out of here.

We're gonna get out of here quick.

That's what we're gonna do.

What the hell's going on here?

We're splitting, man.

That's what's going on.

We're staying right here.

I had enough of you.

You understand me?

I put my neck in a line for you,
fighting the D.A.

and everybody else.

What do you do?
You run out on me?

All right, you got your deal.

You ain't gonna do no hard time.

You're gonna stay here till the heat shows
up.

You understand?

How do I know you ain't setting us up?

Setting you up, you chump?
I'm saving your life.

Your boss set you up.

You know what I'm doing here?

He's setting me here.

They're gonna snuff you.

You're a part of a little family ceremony.

You don't believe me?

Huh?

Go ahead.

Go outside to your girlfriends.

Go talk to them when they get here.

Go on.

They're here.

Mr. Pruitt said you wanted to see me.

Yes, I, uh...

I wanted you to know, Baretta.

I'm resigning.

You, uh... you got what you wanted.

You won.

I didn't win nothing, sir.

But it looks like you lost.

Yeah, well, I failed to see the
distinction in that.

If I dropped the charges, what would you
do?

I would do exactly what I did do.

And that's a very sad thing, Mr. Stone.

That means that you didn't learn nothing.

Baretta, I've studied the law all my life.

And I know that without it and without
reason,

humanity can't survive.
I know that.

Yes, sir.

No argument there.

Reason.

You worked all your life to get this job.

You need this job.

We need you.

I need you, sir.

You're a boss.

You know how to think.

You know how to get things done.

How come you're blowing everything now?

You, uh... intend to drop the charges
against me, Baretta?

I was never gonna go through with them.

I just needed to get you out of the way
for a while so I could do my job.

That's all.

So, uh, now you'll let me come back if I
play it your way.

Is that right?

Yes.

My way?

Mr. Stone, I didn't invent the rules.

I just try to make them work.

That's all.

Maybe I'm not all right.

Maybe you ain't all right either.

Maybe that's why you ought to stay here.

I got a lifetime of police work here.

Now I'm practically walking the plank.

I want to know why that is.

24 years in the police force.

24 years selfless.

Devotion to duty.

Keeping my nose clean.

Never a problem except that now he gets me
brought up on charges.

Listen, you tell him.

If he wants to make any
more deals with these

people, he should
come and see me first.

No, no, don't come see me.

Don't let him tell me nothing.

Because then when it all goes to
hell, it's his problem, not mine. Right?

Because I go by the book.

I do not function by the seat of my pants.

Brilliant, boss.

You was brilliant.

When the chips was down and we was in the
trenches, you stood up and you was counted.

And that's what's important in this world.

Standing up and being counted.

Oh, yeah, be happy.

Just keep stroking, right?

Do your own thing.

Everything's gonna be fine.

That bird does not like me.
