Original subtitles

Raise your hands and stand up.

I'd love to make this guy talk.

I'll make him talk.

Today, I have planted another bomb.

I think we ought to call SWAT in on this. Look, these two bums, I want them,

Billy. They cut down my partner, they executed him.

Hey, police!

One of you had it, huh?

Here's a present for you.

I want your name and number. You're going to answer for this. P is in Patty

Murphy, Sergeant. Shield number 83300.

My brother was right. Know that, Murph?

I should have stayed in law school.

Sure.

Then you could have defended the cockroaches instead of barking with

them. Always the cynic.

Well, no, Tony.

Just a realist.

Verissimo.

If that means something dirty in Italian, you better... It means realism.

Or close enough.

That's what's kept you on the street all these years.

When you should have made lieutenant years ago.

Partner, it's us New York street cops that keep the roaches from consuming

that sweet and gentle eight million people out there.

As the saying goes, partner, you served your time in hell.

Why not relax a little? Take one of those cushy desk jobs.

Why not, huh?

That's easy.

I've got six months left before I'm eligible for pension.

And I'm doing them.

Just doing them.

Rot in the heat.

I bet I've sweat off six or seven pounds.

How about a cola?

How about shutting up for a few minutes? You're beginning to sound like my

brother-in-law, Sam.

Hey, partner, if they close in, will you...

Thank you.

It's been a long time, right?

It's good to see you, Billy. Helen sends him about. Wants to know when you're

coming back again.

Are you kidding? I wouldn't trade our sunshine and smog for your heat and

humidity any day.

Say hello to my partners.

Pepper Anderson.

Joe Stiles. Pete Royster.

Hey, how you doing? Keith Murphy.

John Trumbull.

How do you do? John.

Oh, it's just the two of you guys, huh?

Well, there's only two of them.

You know, if I had a partner like that, I wouldn't leave California either.

Oh, been hanging around the Blarney Stone, huh? The Blarney Stone, is it?

Billy should know better than that.

The Irish are famous for two things.

Their appreciation for fine whiskey and beautiful women.

Well, how sweet.

Joseph, when are you going to start doing that?

Should have thought you'd at least come by the office.

Are you kidding? He had to come right here. They're both in room 411.

Uh, Tedesco, and what's the other one's name? Vlad.

There's only one exit, a hallway door.

Leads out onto the fire escape there.

You know what, friend?

What?

I think we ought to call SWAT in on this.

Look, these two bums.

i want them billy they cut down my partner they executed him now something

goes wrong we're calling the marines okay okay how do you

want us to deploy

Come on, you bum, you put it down.

There's two ways out of here.

The easy way in cops or head down the stretcher.

You take your choice.

Get out of my way. I can't miss with this thing.

Stand back. Damn it.

I've got nothing to lose.

You hear me? Nothing.

Come on, Cat Moth, put it down, or I'll ram it in your ear.

Do it, you dead man!

Hey,

when am I gonna get to see the doctor? These stitches gotta come out, huh? Who

do they have anywhere?

Come on, come on, I asked you a question. Who treated you?

Stop dating that old butcher from Long Island. Leave the crybaby alone. What

happens next when I see my lawyer?

You have extradition.

We'll fly you to New York tomorrow.

With who?

With me, your little darlings.

And if I don't?

Well, in about a month after the hearing, I'll come back again.

Instead of a nice little plane ride.

You and me will drive back alone in one of those caged cars.

You get the picture, Clown?

No.

You sign this.

I'll get you out of here on the first available flight.

Well, a jail's a jail, whether it's here or in New York.

At least we'll get one good meal on the plane.

Traveling first class only.

Oh, absolutely.

747. Let me sign this.

They sent a table for you up in the lounge.

That's terrific.

Now when I get to see that doctor?

I'll have you checked.

Murphy, if I ever get the chance, I'm gonna put you in the grave with your

spaghetti drone, friend.

What I want to know is how you located him so fast.

The butcher, Dr.

Dayton, was kind of a reluctant snitch.

Blatt phoned him from here to find out about the follow-up treatment.

And he gave the good doctor the number where he could be reached.

Right.

You know, there are rules and regs that aren't in the Hippocratic Oath.

I used to say hypocritic before Helen straightened me out.

She's a great woman.

You know something? I wish you guys would hang around for a few days.

I'm game.

My first trip to the coast.

Murph? No, I want to get both these guys back.

That officer that was killed in the liquor store, did he have a family?

Yeah.

Had two kids.

Two-year-old Tony Jr.

and a little girl about six months.

Hey, Murph, how's that tribe of yours?

Listen. Did I tell you that this guy has six kids? Six?

Six. The youngest is how old?

Caitlin will be five in June.

What do you do in your spare time?

Irish Catholic over sex.

You know, speaking of kids, I better check in. Excuse me, huh?

He's a doll. It's quite a partner. You've got to hold him.

He's the best.

Guys stand in line to work with him.

Were you surprised the way he handled that arrest today?

Let's just say I'd have handled it differently.

Tedisco doesn't deserve a trial.

But then Murphy's a better cop than I am.

Did you ask him about why he didn't shoot?

When he got back to our hotel room, yeah.

He said Tedisco probably would have gotten off a shot.

Some innocent party in one of the adjoining hotel rooms might have gotten

hit.

Would you excuse me for a minute?

Um,

it's right back there. Oh.

Yeah, everything's fine, hon. Yeah, we got them both.

Yeah, I'll be home on the 10 p.m. flight.

How are the kids?

Oh, great.

It's just that, well, nothing's really together when you're not here. You know

that. Oh, listen.

I know that, sure.

Give all the kids a big kiss from me, will you?

I got to, uh, I got to go. Uh, Keith, um, Dr.

Milton called. He wants to talk to you right away.

What's that all about?

Oh, that's just the department physician. It's a routine physical.

He says I'm overweight.

Need to lose about 10 pounds.

He's got a special diet for cops.

Lots of booze and loose women.

Hey, you big Irish lug. You got all you can handle right here at home.

Yeah, I know.

Nobody's eating their corned beef and cabbage.

Murph didn't even touch his meal.

Did you see how his hands were shaking?

They just buried his partner, Beverly.

Yeah.

Doesn't happen every day.

Listen, I gotta go. Billy and his partner are waiting for me. Did you give

him my love?

Tell him to come back soon, and I'll make some corned beef and pasta, okay?

Keith? Yeah, hon?

I just want to say I love you.

I guess I never know how much till you go away.

Sure, I know.

Me too.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Listen, we've still got a few minutes. Anybody want a cup of coffee? None for

me. Maybe pepper.

No, I'm all coffeed out. What time did your plane get in? Just after that. Hey,

what about some coffee for us?

Would you call your office and tell them what time you're coming in?

Yeah. We'll have plenty of help getting these two booked.

What do you say we get these guys in a little more private area, get them re

-cuffed?

Right on the corner here.

Now,

pepper.

You promise to come back with Billy and visit us sometime, huh?

Promises, promises.

Oh, you're gonna love Helen.

Kids are gonna take some getting used to.

You can say that again. Never mind that.

Get Billy to spring for some airline tickets. You come back, the two of you,

and bunk with us, and we'll take the Big Apple apart.

Anytime you say, Crowley.

It's too much excitement for you.

Don't you listen to him.

Where's Tedesco?

Yeah,

that's good. Now what about the symptoms back here?

It's all sealed off. I don't see any way they can possibly get out.

What about departing flights? Any chance they could have picked up one?

Not likely. They're all being watched.

These guys gunned down a New York detective.

He's dead. I'm sure they understand. Trouble? He should be Irish. He always

comes out okay.

Thank God. And St. Patrick.

How'd you know that was my middle name? The last half, I mean.

They dug a piece of shrapnel out of his shoulder. A couple of days in the

hospital should do it. We're looking at what he got killed. Any news on Tedesco?

Not a word. How's John? He's gonna be all right.

You want me to call his wife, explain what happened?

No, no, no. I checked. He phoned her from the hospital.

You know how wives are. She'd be on the next flight out if she didn't hear his

voice.

Listen, can I stick around here for a few days, at least till I pick up what I

came for? I don't know. You think we should swear him in?

I don't know if he's had enough experience.

You're probably right.

Billy, this bombing, is that your bailiwick?

It is till we get relieved.

Where do you start?

With that strike out there, I think the labor union's a good place to start.

I'll stick around here and see if your blue suit is pick up on anything. They

can get us on the air if something comes up.

Hello. Mrs. Murphy, this is Dr.

Milton again.

Oh, hi, Dr. Milton. I was wondering if... Have you heard from Keith?

Yes, he called last night. He said he'd be home sometime tonight.

Well, I'd like to talk to him as soon as possible.

You'll be sure to tell him that.

Of course.

Is anything wrong? I mean, with the physical?

Oh, he's fine, Mrs. Murphy.

I simply have some questions regarding his past health.

Sorry to have troubled you.

No trouble at all.

I'll put him on that new diet just as soon as he walks in the door.

That's the kind of talk I like to hear.

Goodbye, Ms. Murphy.

Bye-bye.

Sorry I had to keep you folks waiting.

Cigar? Oh, no thanks. We don't smoke.

Mr. Webster, you know about the airport bombing.

Yeah, I heard about it on... Wait a minute. Is this

why you're here?

Because you think my union had something to do with that?

We're not sure about that, but we do think this is a good place to start.

Mr. Webster, we talked to a few of your pickets.

It seems this has been a pretty bitter strike.

I'll name you one that isn't until it's over.

Look, Sergeant Crowley, is it? Sergeant Anderson?

Mm-hmm.

We don't settle labor disputes that way.

We bargain, folks.

We bargain for what we get.

This is bothering you, isn't it?

Oh, no, not that much.

I'm sorry. I'll put it out.

Lousy habit.

Stopped once. Three whole weeks.

Shame you started up again.

What about disgruntled employees?

I mean, anybody that might want to make the union look bad?

Yeah, there is one guy that comes to mind.

hothead named Ricardo mechanic Airline fired him for using dope and he he blew

up he was sore as hell at the Union at me for not fighting to save his job, but

Our positions very clear on that He shouldn't be working on those jet planes

while he's loaded up on dope Look folks, there's always one

bad apple in the barrel.

Could we have his background name address, etc?

Hey, lady, hand me that wrench down there, huh?

You're welcome.

So what happened to Ricardo?

Oh, he kept showing up for work half-loaded. I had to get rid of him.

Did he tell you about his other jobs?

Sure, I know about his beef with the airlines.

I had to call them for references.

They warned me, but I needed a good mechanic right away.

After he was fired, thank you.

Did he green raw deal?

From the rooftops.

He helped the union let him down.

They didn't back him up in his fight to keep his job.

Look, if he comes back, we'd appreciate a call.

He won't. He had a fight.

I had to throw him out.

If you ask me, he's a psycho.

Thanks a lot.

Hey, lady, that oil line down there.

It's nice, isn't it?

Yeah, so I'm gonna be hung up here for a few days, sweetheart.

Yeah, John will be released from the hospital in a couple of days.

Tell him not to worry about Penny. She's gonna stay here with us.

Oh, that's fine. You're a good woman, Mrs. Murphy.

Consider it.

Helen, do you hear me?

Uh, yeah, Keith, Dr.

Milton called again. I don't understand. I mean, why does he keep phoning?

Excuse me. Sergeant Murphy, we may have one of your crooks located.

Air freight employee saw someone sneak into one of the crates.

Yeah, I gotta go, Helen.

I love you, yeah?

I love you, too.

What do you want with Ricardo?

We, uh, we want to talk to him about a traffic accident.

Traffic accident, my fanny.

It's dope, right?

That's right. Now, do you know where he is? Is he here?

No, moved about two weeks ago.

He moved where?

What's that?

Uh, he moved where? Hey!

12Y50, go ahead.

12Y50, meet 12Y52 standing by with Sergeant Murphy at the air freight

depot. Code 2.

Roger.

Another dealer in 219. You could bust him.

Pete, what's going on? Yeah, over there in the crate. Some employees said they

saw this guy slip inside.

The description fits Blatt.

And also, he's carrying a gun.

What's the destination?

Mexico. It's strictly freight, and they said it'd leave in about 30 minutes.

I'm gonna get that forklift. Let's get him loaded.

Stand up where we can see you.

Repeat.

Raise your hands and stand up.

Black.

Throw out the gun or I'll blow you all the way back to New York.

Black, what the hell are you doing? I know this, scum. Watch.

One to go.

Listen carefully.

I'm the man who bombed the airport.

They must pay for what they do to poor people.

I have planted another bomb at the airport.

Where is he?

I told you, I don't know.

Did Disko tell you how he'd get out? Get out of what?

Watch your mouth, clown.

Look, he still had one handcuffed. He said he was gonna take it off, and then,

uh... And then what? Talk.

Murph.

Murph? All right, Blatt, what'd he say?

He was gonna get a gun.

Where? Did he say where or how he was gonna get one?

Uh-uh. But I can tell you this much.

He said nobody was gonna take him back. He used to lock him up forever.

And he meant it.

Hey, Pete!

Yeah? Get this guy out of here and lock him up.

Leave him in isolation.

Right.

Well, Murph, you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I tell you, we all get a little edgy when we're in the middle of one of these

things.

I didn't think Blatt was holding back.

I know Blatt's just a follower.

I just don't want Tedesco to get away.

You can understand that, Billy.

What are all these vacant lots for?

It's part of the airport expansion.

The city bought up hundreds of homes.

Progress,

huh? I'll have to at least leave some of the trees.

I like trees.

They seem to live forever if you just leave them alone.

This station has just been contacted by a man claiming to be the airport bomber.

Here's warning, and this is a direct quote.

I planted another bomb at the airport.

Immediately preceding. I figured you people would be here, so I had my

secretary draw up that transcript.

It's verbatim. There's nothing else. Thanks, Mr. Gerhard, but what we really

need is the tape. We don't really need this. Just the original tape. I'm sorry,

sir. That I've got to decline. This station's in the news business, and that

tape's an important item of news. News is important, but you don't seem to

understand. We are dealing with a madman, and he's planted another bomb.

What about human beings? I mean, that tape is our only lead to whoever is

responsible. I anticipated this problem with you people, and that's why I had

the transcript drawn up. I've also seen my lawyer.

Obviously, you don't understand the problem here. I understand the problem,

Sergeant. I understand the laws. I expect you understand the law. Now, if

you want to confiscate material belonging to this station, then you get

a warrant.

That could take hours. We're in a foot race with the clock. Don't you know

that? What do you think you're doing? Shut up. You have the tape less than

now. You made a complete transgression. It's got to be your son.

Murder! I'll break it off, Gerhard. Give it to me.

I want your name and number you're going to answer for this.

Keith Pears and Patty Murphy, Sergeant. Shield number 83300.

New York City Police Department.

Hey, you better make the call now. There's a three-hour time difference.

Earhart's gonna beep you, you know that.

You know what, Pepper? I don't care what he does.

Yo, listen, if you want to be a hotshot, Murph, do it on your own turf. It's a

little different out here. We gotta explain things.

Is that the truth he's telling?

The whole truth.

I'll clue you, Billy.

Back in New York, there's some brass that don't think I'm such a hotshot

there, either.

So he beeps me.

So they'll probably tear up my library card. Big deal.

I barely read the newspapers as it is.

Come on, we needed the tape, we got it.

What kind of an accent is that?

I don't know. The lockers. How long will it take you to search all the lockers?

Sarge, that bomb could be anywhere. Just to search the lockers alone could take

all day. There's over 3,000. Look, I'm only in charge of the investigation, but

if I were you, I'd get a hold of Lieutenant Burke. I'd get some help and

I'd get started.

Who's David Gerhard?

Huh? Why?

Well, we just left the office and the phone was ringing off the hook. Some guy

named Gerhard phoned the chief and said that you guys had beat him up and

forcefully removed his possessions.

Now he's holding a news conference.

Didn't take him long, did it? You want to give it back?

My old father said if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Play that again, will you?

Huh?

I think I know that guy.

You're kidding.

Poor people in this country have no property rights.

Yeah, that's him.

That's the guy. That's what guy?

He worked in the parking lot around here.

He bothered the customers. I had to fire him.

What's his name, or where does he live?

He had some foreign name.

He used to live over near Century Boulevard.

Wait, what do you mean? He moved?

The airport took his house.

The new runway.

How old would you say he was? Can you describe him?

Yeah, he's about 40, I'd say.

Salt and pepper hair. Sergeant Anderson.

About 5'10". Okay, I'll tell him.

Bill. Huh?

Simmons wants to see you.

Outside.

Get in.

What's the matter? Security's so tight you can't get in?

What's up?

Just had a meeting with Burke.

He's got the dog sniffing all the lockers.

That's good.

Why aren't we talking about it out here?

Bill, you're working one of the most sensitive cases in the department's

history. The whole country's watching us.

Yeah, and?

And the department can't afford any mistakes.

Mistakes that may jeopardize future prosecutions.

We're talking about Murphy and the tapes, right?

Right. I mean, Gerhard must have made his phone call.

Chief called me personally.

Now, he's not worried about any heat that Gerhard might generate. But let's

be realistic.

Who can foresee how any one of our more liberal-minded judges may rule on the

admissibility of that tape? It could be our whole case, Bill.

And considering the way you've got it... Captain, I understand the problem, okay?

But let me tell you something.

If Murphy hadn't grabbed that tape, we wouldn't have a good lead on a suspect

right now.

We sure wouldn't have gotten it from a transcript to tell you that.

Between us, I know that, Bill, and I'm glad to hear it.

But now let me give it to you in black and white.

Under no circumstances, I repeat, no circumstances is Sergeant Murphy to

participate in any way in this investigation.

Now that is an order, Bill, and comes right from the chief.

You guys spread out.

Deploy yourselves behind the trailer. I'll holler if I need you.

What's the matter, my tie crooked?

Try to stay cool, okay, Keith?

What she's saying is I got orders you shouldn't be here in case you've

forgotten. Billy, you know how bad I want into this.

You two get in trouble and I'll blot you out of it. I got a lot of practice.

Hey, police!

On your feet!

Get on your feet!

Get your hands on top of your head.

Turn around.

Don't make a move.

Conrad Nagy, this is a warrant.

Just search the premises for explosives.

All right, sit down.

Keep your hands on top of your head.

There are other people in this area. Is there anything here that could be

dangerous to them?

Billy, back here!

Huh? What do you got?

That's not armed, is it?

I don't know, but I'm not taking any chances.

You know what you're doing, man? You know how to do that? Yeah, I know a

little bit about a lot of things.

Is that it? That's it.

He's got one of those little trinkets around here.

Bill. Yeah.

Look at this.

Here's a receipt for three alarm clocks bought last week.

Let's see if you find another alarm clock.

Because if we don't, we sure as hell got another bomb in our hands.

Is Sergeant Murphy there? Is his wife calling from New York?

I'm sorry, ma'am. He's out with Sergeants Crowley and Anderson right

now.

Just a minute, Mrs. Murphy. They just came in.

Sergeant Murphy, it's your wife.

Ellen.

I don't know what our phone bill is going to be at the end of the month.

Keith, are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine, sweetheart.

What's the problem? Are the kids okay?

They're fine, yeah.

Dr. Milton has called three times. Now, I think I have a right to know if

something is wrong.

Well, you're the nosiest woman.

You won't even let me surprise you.

Do you know what next Friday is?

Our anniversary.

That's right.

22 years are you nagging at me?

Nagging how?

Are you sure you're going to retire, Keith Patrick?

Are you sure you won't be bored sitting around this house after all those years?

Standing around the garden as you've done one in nine times since we've owned

this house, huh?

Is that a direct quote, huh?

No. Well, almost.

Anyway, I decided to stay on the department in front of the Hitch.

Let's face it, I'd be bored.

There's a few pleasures in life I get.

That's one of the biggest.

You standing at the door waiting for me.

So, you're surprised?

Yeah.

What about the doctor?

Oh, he probably just wants to tell me I'm fine and ask me a couple of

questions. You know how those guys are.

Why didn't you tell me sooner, you big lug? I've been worried.

Then it wouldn't have been a surprise to you.

Oh, um... Sean wants to talk to you. Just a minute.

Daddy's busy, so be quick.

Hi, Dad.

When are you coming home?

Soon, son.

Listen, Sean.

You take care of Mommy and your sisters, huh?

And I'll be back soon, okay?

I will, Daddy.

And hurry on back, because we all miss you.

Bye-bye.

Go to bed.

Night.

Did you hear that, Keith?

We all miss you.

I gotta go, sweetheart.

You look out for yourself now and a bunch, huh? I'll see you soon.

You take care of yourself, huh?

Hey, haven't I always?

Helen, I want you to notice... I love you.

You're lucky, Najee.

You're really lucky.

You understand what I'm saying to you?

So far, nobody's been killed.

But if you come up with that bomb, you could be responsible for a lot of

innocent people dying.

You know what I'm talking about, Najee? I'm talking about murder.

What's happened?

Well, he hasn't opened his mouth since we brought him in.

I heard about that officer at the airport.

Yeah, he's in really bad shape.

Doc says he may pull through, though.

Has he got a family?

Three kids.

When we get to disco, I'll, uh... How do we know it's a disco dinner?

Well, who else could it be?

Well, he'll get his. Don't worry about that. I guarantee that.

Nothing? Nothing. Not a word.

Not one word.

And we're running out of time.

What about Tedesco?

Scotty Blake doesn't think he got through. He's still at the airport.

Sorry about that guard, Billy.

Murph, this whole mess is starting to get to me.

Man, I'd love to make this guy talk.

I'll make him talk. Let me at him. I'll break every bone in his body. Keith,

with a man like this, nothing physical is gonna work.

She's right. Well, what is?

Hey, Bill, just got a call from the airport. They spotted Tedesco.

What about Najee?

Stick with him, Pep. See what you can get out of him.

Mr. Nodgy.

Nodge.

What you're doing, Mr. Nodge, what you've been doing, I understand your

reasons.

You're angry, very angry, and hurt.

And you feel you have a cause and you want the world to know about it.

You know, many of us do.

Without something to believe in, without a cause, most of the

people in the world would just be existing.

Causes are very necessary.

But there are other ways to let the world know about our cause by, not by

bloodshed and violence, but by shouting out, Hey!

Listen to me.

Listen to me.

I have something to say. Pay attention to me.

We all feel that way.

We can get newspapers.

We can get reporters to come here. As many as you want.

And you can speak. You can tell them everything and they'll listen.

You can say what you have to say.

They will listen, and they'll put it on the front pages, and they'll put it on

television.

But not until you tell us where you've planted that bomb.

Innocent people will die.

And you'll have lost your voice forever.

You call everybody?

Radio, TV, everybody?

Everybody.

If you promise, all right.

Listen, if you can't get... Tell him Sergeant Crowley's trying to get a

hold... Crowley, C-R-O-W-L-E. What's happened?

You know where he is? Tedisco went around the security check, got spotted,

and grabbed us too.

He's demanding a plane.

No, forget it.

Bill, what's happening?

We pinpointed the locker.

The bomb squad can't even get in there. Tedisco's got a hostage.

We've got 12 minutes. It's set to go off at 8 o'clock. I know that, Pep.

Where's Murph?

With Tedisco.

She's back!

Get out of my way. I can't mess with this thing.

I'm telling you for the last time, you move any closer and she's dead.

Disco, let her go.

There's a bomb planted in there, man. It's going to go off at 8 o'clock.

Shh.

Listen to him. There is a bomb in there. Let her go.

Now, you listen to me.

I want a plane.

Pull it up outside, fueled and ready to go.

Don't try any tricks.

I'll shoot, I swear.

Murphy, I warned you. If I ever get the chance, you keep back.

Murphy! You let that girl go.

You and me, we're gonna get on that plane together. I'll be your hostage,

okay?

No good. She's the best card I could hold.

Wrong, I am.

You don't leave without me. It's that simple.

I'll kill you. You know I will. No, you won't.

Because if you do, I'll blow your rotten head off. Now let her go.

You let her go. I got my gun holstered. You got me.

What better hostage could you have than a cop?

I'm going to tear you apart with my bare hands.

I want that plane, Murphy. Now you get over against that locker so I can search

you. Don't go in there, Murph.

No, no, no. You're not going to leave here. You're going to die right here

tonight.

You're crazy. Now you keep back.

Yeah,

I'll keep back.

It's all over now.

Sergeant Anderson.

No, he stepped out for a couple of minutes. May I take a message?

It's, uh...

Alan Murphy from New York.

Oh, yes.

Miss Pepper?

Yes, that's right, Mrs. Murphy.

I heard something on the radio, part of it.

There was an explosion at an airport out there.

A New York detective was killed, blown up.

Yes.

It was Keith.

I was waiting for Bill. He was planning to... Cool.

Tell me.

I'm very, very sorry.

I'm really so sorry. I... I liked him.

Uh, he was, uh... He was killed instantly.

I, uh... Oh, um, here comes Bill now. Hold on.

Tell him.

She knows.

Ellen, honey, it's Bill. I, uh... I know, Billy, I know.

Just tell me one thing.

Did he walk into it? The explosion?

Honey, he was walking toward this guy to disco and... Killed himself.

It happened so fast.

I don't know about that.

I wonder about that.

I think... I think the... That's the way Keith wanted to go.

His doctor had been calling him. He's trying to get in touch with him.

I asked Keith if something was wrong. He said no.

He decided to stay with the department. It was all just routine.

But his voice didn't sound like his.

We've been together so long.

Same person.

Called the doctor back to ask him to tell me to make him tell me

He said Keith had cancer

What he couldn't be sure of it when he left New York, but

he was certain now Keith must have known that he only had one month

maybe two Why did he keep working he could have?

His pension?

He had six months before retirement.

In New York City, if a cop dies before that, there's no pension.

Oh, Keith knew me and the children that we didn't need.

Would you do me a favor?

What's that, Helen?

I'm going to catch the next plane.

Would you ask your people to?

Hold his body until I can get there.

I want to be near him as long as I can be there and on the plane.

The plane that's bringing him back.

All right?

Yeah, listen, I'll check with the airlines, find out what time you're

coming in.

I'll meet you at the airport.

I feel so sorry for her.

I feel sorry for Keith.

And yet I feel better that I knew him.

That I knew him.

You know what I mean, Bill?

Yeah.

I know what you mean.

That boy should have bought for a long drive, huh?

Yeah.

Maybe we can stop by St. Brennan's.

Might have a candle.

Thank you.
