TOO MUCH TO ASK THEY KNOW THE RULES OF THE ROAD‐‐ STARTING, STOPPING.

I KNOW A GUY WHO'LL FIX THE DENT CHEAP.

THIS WOMAN'S MYSTIFIED‐‐ HOW'D I BANG INTO HER?

OTHERWISE IT'S THREE HOURS IN THE POLICE GARAGE.

AH, YEAH.

OH, GREAT. WHEN DID I GET THIS?

NOODLES?

HEY, LIEU.

HOW YOU DOING, GUYS?

WE ZEROED ON THAT RECANVASS ON THAT CHINATOWN HOMICIDE.

THOSE PEOPLE TURNED LOOKING THE OTHER WAY INTO AN ART FORM.

WHERE YOU TAKING IT?

MAYBE IF WE HAD TANKS PATROLLING CANAL STREET,

THEY'D THINK THEY WERE BACK HOME

RIDING THEIR BICYCLES AGAIN, WEARING THOSE STUPID HATS.

24 MORE HOURS, HUH, ANDY?

TILL WHAT?

YOUR WEDDING.

YEAH, TOMORROW. WHAT MADE YOU THINK

ABOUT THAT?

NOTHING. I‐‐I JUST...

SAW SYLVIA COME IN.

KEEP ME POSTED ON THAT CHINATOWN MURDER.

GOOD MORNING, SYLVIA.

GOOD MORNING.

I'LL GO LOOK FOR THOSE 61s.

YEAH. HOW'S IT GOING?

ANDY, WE GOT LUCKY.

REMEMBER THE INN AT ST. ADOLPHE?

THAT PLACE IN THE FOREST?

THE LAURENTIAN WILDERNESS.

THE TRAVEL AGENT CALLED. THERE'S A CANCELLATION.

THEY CAN TAKE US FOR THREE NIGHTS.

WHAT ABOUT MONTREAL?

I CANCELED.

YOU CANCELED MONTREAL?

OH, ANDY, I CAN'T WAIT.

WAKING UP WITH THE SUN, BREATHING PRISTINE AIR,

LISTENING TO THE BIRDS,

NO PHONES,

NO TV...

IS IT NEAR ANYPLACE?

IT BORDERS A TROUT STREAM.

THEY COOK YOUR CATCH FOR YOU.

I RAISE FISH.

WELL, UH... WE'LL HIKE THEN.

WE'LL SEE DEER, MOOSE, MAYBE EVEN A BEAR.

OH, ANDY, WE'LL BE COMPLETELY ON OUR OWN.

WE COULD BE ON OUR OWN IN A CIVILIZED REGION, TOO, YOU KNOW.

BUT, YEAH, THIS, UH...

THIS SOUNDS GREAT. THIS...

IT'S GREAT.

YEAH.

ART.

HEY, REGGIE.

YOU GOT A MINUTE?

WHAT'S THIS? I THOUGHT YOU WERE WORKING 8:00‐TO‐4:00s?

I'M OFF THE STREET.

I.A.B.'S GOT ME ON MODIFIED ASSIGNMENT.

COME HERE.

WHAT HAPPENED?

McNAMARA HAD ME ON A STREET CONDITION,

CRACKING ON GYPSY CABS WORKING BUS STOPS.

SO I'M OUT THERE‐‐ WRITING TICKETS, TAKING ALL THIS ABUSE.

SOME HAITIAN DRIVER COMES INTO THE HOUSE,

SAYS I'M SHAKING DOWN HIM AND HIS CREW.

McNAMARA MUST KNOW IT'S BOGUS.

HE PUT YOU THERE.

SAID HIS HANDS WERE TIED.

HAD TO PUT THE COMPLAINT THROUGH.

CRAP. IF THE GUY HAD NO CREDIBILITY,

MAC SHOULD'VE KICKED HIM OUT OF THE HOUSE.

HE'S LOOKING TO COST ME MY JOB.

DO YOU KNOW ANYONE DOWN AT I. A. B.?

IT'S ALREADY LOGGED, REGGIE.

IF I REACH OUT DOWN THERE, IT'LL MAKE THINGS WORSE.

I'LL GO SEE McNAMARA. I. A. B. WILL INTERVIEW HIM.

SO IF HE STANDS UP, THEY'LL STOP IT THERE.

THEN HE WOULDN'T HAVE PUT IT ON PAPER.

MAYBE HE'S GIVEN YOU ENOUGH GRIEF.

I GOT TO TAKE THAT?

NO. NO. YOU GOT TO GET PAST THIS JAM.

THEN YOU GET OUT OF THERE.

THANKS FOR TRYING TO HELP ME, MAN.

YEAH.

DON'T WORRY.

I'LL BE GONE A COUPLE HOURS. BEEP ME IF ANYTHING COMES UP.

YEAH.

MORNING, LIEU.

MORNING. SORRY. GOT CAUGHT IN TRAFFIC.

MORNING.

HOW'S IT GOING? GOOD.

[WOMAN] WHO CAN I TALK TO...

DETECTIVES, THIS PERSON SAYS SHE HAS INFORMATION

ON THAT CHINATOWN MURDER.

I'M DETECTIVE SIPOWICZ.

THIS IS DETECTIVE SIMONE.

I CAN HELP YOU WITH THAT DEAD CHINAMAN.

COME ON. LET'S TALK IN HERE.

[SIPOWICZ] WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

FRANCINE.

AND THE GUY YOU'RE LOOKING FOR‐‐

RICHIE MORALES.

WHO WOULD THAT BE, FRANCINE?

SEE THIS EYE? NICE, HUH?

HE'S STAYING AT MY HOUSE,

SPENDING MY MONEY, EATING MY FOOD.

THEN I FIND OUT HE'S SCREWING TENIQUA?

[SIMONE] TENIQUA?

BLACK BITCH. WE'D SEE HER AROUND,

AND I JUST KNEW RICHIE WAS DOING HER.

WOMEN KNOW THAT KIND OF THING. WE KNOW.

HOW'S THIS RELATE TO THE HOMICIDE?

I ASKED HIM‐‐ WAS HE SEEING HER? HE SLUGS ME.

THAT WAS IT. OVER.

I THREW HIS ASS OUT ON THE STREET.

AND HE GOT EVEN BY KILLING A CHINAMAN.

THE GUY'S A SCUMBAG JUNKIE. NO REGULAR JOB.

SO HE RIPS OFF THOSE LITTLE CHINESE GUYS.

TELLS ME HOW HE BEAT THEM UP

WITH THAT CLUB OF HIS AND ALL.

THEN I HEARD ABOUT THAT FONG GUY GETTING KILLED.

I FOUND THESE

WHEN I WAS THROWING RICHIE'S STUFF OUT THE WINDOW.

CREDIT CARDS. HE MUST'VE STASHED THEM BECAUSE THEY WERE HOT.

GOT FONG'S NAME ON THEM.

WHERE DOES TENIQUA LIVE, FRANCINE?

DO YOU KNOW? HELL, NO.

SO WHERE DO WE FIND RICHIE?

WHERE HE COPS‐‐ 4th AND C, BY THE PIZZA JOINT.

HIM AND HIS SORRY JONES WILL BE THERE EVENTUALLY.

HERE.

THIS IS HIM.

SOMEONE'S CUT OUT OF THIS PICTURE.

IS THAT YOUR HAND LINING THE DOPE UP?

YOU KNOW WHAT? I DIDN'T HAVE TO COME DOWN HERE.

YOU WANT TO SEE JUSTICE DONE.

WE APPRECIATE YOU HELPING US OUT, FRANCINE.

YEAH? WHEN YOU FIND HIM,

SLAP HIM AROUND OR SOMETHING.

WANT TO DO A SWEEP ON RICHIE'S CORNER?

GUY PROBABLY COPPED, HE'S BANGING SOME NEW BROAD.

COULD BE A WHILE BEFORE HE SURFACES.

I'LL BEEP FANCY, TELL HIM WE'RE DOING A SWEEP.

OTHERWISE I MIGHT GET DISTRACTED

OUT IN THE PRISTINE WILDERNESS

WORRYING HOW THIS GUY'S AT LARGE.

SORRY. THAT WAS AN IMPORTANT CALL.

NO PROBLEM.

HOW YOU DOING? GOOD.

LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT MY BROTHER.

HELL OF A THING, HUH? THAT HAITIAN MAKING CHARGES.

YEAH. COULD WE TALK ABOUT THAT SOMEPLACE?

SHAPP! TAKE OVER HERE.

YEAH, SURE.

SO REGGIE SAYS IT'S ALREADY WITH I. A. B.

TRIED TO FINESSE THE GUY, BUT HE WAS CRANKED.

KNEW THE PROCEDURE, INSISTED I PUT IT ON PAPER.

YOU WOULDN'T HAVE THE 49 ON THIS?

MIND IF I LOOK?

NO PROBLEM. IT'S RIGHT HERE.

TIME WAS THIS HAITIAN WOULD'VE BEEN BOOTED OUT THE DOOR

AND THE COMPLAINT WOULD'VE HIT THE ROUND FILE.

IT'S A DIFFERENT DEPARTMENT NOW.

SO REGGIE SAYS HE WAS TICKETING THESE GYPSIES

ON YOUR INSTRUCTIONS.

A STREET CONDITION. THEY WERE SOLICITING AT BUS STOPS.

IT'D BE NATURAL FOR A CABBY TO TRY AND GET THE HEAT OFF

FILING A COMPLAINT.

YOU'D HOPE I. A. B. WILL TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT.

YOU COULD MAKE SURE, MAC.

REGGIE WAS THERE ON YOUR SAY‐SO.

COMPLAINT SAYS HE SHOOK THIS GUY DOWN.

NO ONE INSTRUCTED HIM TO DO THAT.

I DON'T THINK HE DID IT. DO YOU?

I'D GUESS NO.

BUT I DON'T KNOW HIM AS WELL AS YOU.

DID YOU HELP THAT CABBY FILL THIS 49 OUT, MAC?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

THIS IS TEXTBOOK LANGUAGE.

GOT TO GET CURRENT, ARTHUR.

WE GOT ALL THESE NEW POLICIES

TO HELP CIVILIANS‐‐ MINORITIES AND SUCH‐‐

EVEN IF THE COMPLAINT'S AGAINST THEIR OWN.

YEAH. AND REGGIE'S ONE OF YOUR OWN.

I DON'T LIKE THE TONE YOU'RE TAKING.

I DON'T LIKE THE JOB YOU'RE DOING ON MY BROTHER.

IT'S ONE OF HIS BROTHERS DOING THE JOB ON SMART‐MOUTH REGGIE.

YOU BETTER STAND UP IN THAT I. A. B. INTERVIEW.

OR WHAT?

OR I'LL BE BACK DOWN.

I GOT TO GET TO WORK.

I'LL NEED THAT FORM.

I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO MONTREAL.

NOW I GOT TO HONEYMOON LIKE SOME BEAVER‐PELT TRADER.

MAYBE YOU'LL LIKE IT OUT THERE.

MAYBE I'LL LIKE IT?

MAYBE I'D RATHER SPEND TIME ON RIKER'S ISLAND.

MAYBE I'D RATHER SPEND IT

ON A SKELL JUNKIE'S PISSED‐ON MATTRESS.

ANDY, ANDY.

I'M JUST MAKING CONVERSATION HERE.

JEEZ. MAYBE I'D LIKE IT, HUH?

15 SQUAD TO 15 BOY, 15 CHARLIE‐‐

WE IN POSITION HERE?

15 BOY, 10‐4.

15 CHARLIE, 10‐4.

WOULD YOU LIKE IT?

LET'S DO THIS, GUYS. MOVE IN.

I SHOULD BE DRIVING. I SAID I'D DRIVE. ANDY, PLEASE.

5‐0!

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE! UP AGAINST THE RAIL!

UP AGAINST THE RAIL! HERE! YOU, TOO, SLOWPOKE.

WHERE YOU GOING, HUH?

HANDS UP.

I DIDN'T DO NOTHING.

DIANE!

YEAH. GET THE FEMALE.

ANDY, YOU GOT MORALES' PHOTO?

YEAH, I GOT IT.

COME ON, MAN. I WAS JUST WALKING BY.

WELL, NOW WE'RE GIVING YOU A RIDE.

HE'S NOT HERE.

HEY! WHAT DID I DO?

YOU WORE THAT IDIOT EARRING, ASSHOLE.

[SIMONE] ALL RIGHT. LET'S GET THEM BACK TO THE HOUSE.

YO, WHAT'S THE DEAL?

YOU WANT HER IN HERE?

YEAH.

WATCH YOUR HEAD.

HEY, HEY!

SORRY, UH...

YEAH.

DO I THINK YOU'RE HAPPY?

I DON'T THINK YOU'RE SITTING THERE CRYING.

LET ME ASK YOU‐‐ WHAT'S YOUR RECORD

FOR THE LONGEST THAT COMPUTER'S NOT BEEN DOWN?

ANDY, WHEN ARE WE GETTING THESE RAP SHEETS?

YEAH, I HEARD OF "MUTUAL RESPECT."

YOU EVER HEARD OF "KISS MY ASS"?

I'LL TAKE THE GUY IN ONE.

I'LL TAKE TWO WHEN THIS GUY'S DONE EXPLAINING RESPECT.

GIVE ME A SECOND.

NO! DO NOT HANG UP. DON'T PUT ME ON HOLD.

DO NOT PUT‐‐

OOH!

I DON'T KNOW HOW I MISSED THAT GUN. THAT CAN'T HAPPEN.

WHY DIDN'T YOU DRIVE IN WITH ME THIS MORNING?

I HAD ERRANDS TO RUN.

YOU RUN A LOT OF ERRANDS.

IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, THERE'S NOTHING TO‐‐

COULD'VE GOT SOMEBODY KILLED, DIANE.

THEN TELL THE BOSS.

I THINK IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE DRINKING.

GUESS YOU DON'T WANT MY HELP WITH THOSE INTERVIEWS.

B.C.I. COMPUTER'S STILL DOWN.

I GOT TWO?

YEAH.

TOBY RAY?

YES, SIR.

GOOD NEWS IS I'M NOT SO INTERESTED IN THAT CRACK.

LOOK, I GOT A JOB‐‐ VIDEO BARN, 2nd AVENUE.

I'M INTERESTED IN THIS GUY.

THAT GETS YOUR CRACK VOUCHERED AS FOUND PROPERTY

AND YOU BACK ON THE STREET.

I CAN'T GIVE WHAT I HAVEN'T GOT.

CUT THE CRAP. YOU'RE ON THAT CORNER EVERY DAY.

SO'S THIS GUY. YOU'RE SAYING YOU NEVER SEE HIM?

UNLESS HE LOOKS DIFFERENT.

THAT DRUG'LL DO THAT.

RICHIE MORALES. YOU KNOW THAT NAME?

NO, SIR. STOP CALLING ME SIR.

READY TO GO TO JAIL, TOBY? LOSE YOUR GOOD JOB AT THE VIDEO BARN?

I DIDN'T DO NOTHIN'. NO, YOU DIDN'T DO ENOUGH.

HEY, LOOK, MAN, COME INTO THE STORE, HUH?

I'LL GET YOU FORREST GUMP. NO WAITING LIST.

THINK ABOUT JAIL.

HEY, WHAT ABOUT LION KING?

I GOT NO HELP FROM MY GUY.

TRUST ME. ONE OF THESE SKELLS

GIVES US RICHIE MORALES BY 7 P. M.

WHAT'S AT 7:00?

ME AND SYLVIA SEE SOME UNCLE

TOO SICK TO ATTEND THE WEDDING.

THEN YOU GOT THAT BACHELOR PARTY.

YEAH, THAT'LL BE A MILLION LAUGHS.

I'LL TRY B.C.I. AGAIN.

NO, ANDY...

LET ME TRY.

ALL RIGHT.

NO HELP WITH MORALES?

NO. WE'RE HOLDING THESE GUYS, RIGHT?

YEAH. WE DON'T WANT TO TIP THIS GUY OFF.

MEDAVOY, YOU READ THIS FISH BOOK?

YEAH. I READ WHAT YOU TOLD ME TO.

THE CHAPTER ON TROUBLESHOOTING?

I‐‐I DON'T THINK

THERE'S GOING TO BE ANY PROBLEM, ANDY.

I FEED THEM EVERY 48 HOURS.

YOU'RE ONLY GONE FIVE DAYS.

ONLY FIVE DAYS, MEDAVOY?

IT'S LONGER?

DID YOU READ THAT PART

ABOUT AMMONIA AND NITRATE POISONING?

THAT CAN COME ABOUT IN A MATTER OF HOURS.

THAT'S WHY I GOT TO CHECK THE Ph.

SUPPOSE THERE'S A WHITE SPOT ON THE FISH. WHAT'S THAT?

THAT'S OOBINIUM.

OODINIUM.

WITH A "D."

OH, YEAH. WELL...

I KNOW IF I SEE THAT,

I PUT THE TREATMENT IN THE WATER.

ANDY, THE FISH WILL BE FINE.

IF THERE'S ANY REAL PROBLEM, I‐I'LL CALL YOU.

YOU CAN'T. SYLVIA BOOKED US SOMEPLACE

THE ONLY CONTACT WITH THE OUTSIDE IS THROUGH SMOKE SIGNALS.

WHAT'S THAT B.C.I. HUMP SAYING?

I'M ON HOLD. COMPUTER'S COMING BACK UP.

ANDY, DON'T PISS THIS GUY OFF.

YEAH, YEAH.

BOBBY, ANY HELP WITH MORALES OFF THE SWEEP?

B.C.I.'S DOWN. WE'RE JUST GETTING THE RAP SHEETS NOW.

O.K.

YEAH, TOBY RAY‐‐ WHAT DO YOU GOT?

LIEU!

WHAT'S UP?

YEAH, THANKS FOR YOUR COOPERATION.

MY BROTHER'S ON THE JOB AT THE 8th PRECINCT.

HE JUST GOT SUSPENDED.

HIS SERGEANT'S GOT HIM TICKETING GYPSY CABS.

ONE OF THE DRIVERS LOOKS TO HASSLE MY BROTHER

SAYING HE SOLICITED A BRIBE.

WHY'D THE SARGE PUT THAT THROUGH?

HE'S A RACIST. MY BROTHER'S GOT AN ATTITUDE.

PERFECT COMPLAINT. THE DRIVER'S BLACK, TOO.

I WENT THROUGH THE ACADEMY WITH THIS SERGEANT.

TRIED TALKING TO HIM. I DON'T THINK IT HELPED.

SO WHAT, IT'S AT I. A. B. NOW?

IF I REACH OUT THERE, IT'LL MAKE THINGS WORSE.

8th PRECINCT?

BOBBY, WANT TO JOIN ME

FOR AN INTERESTING CONVERSATION?

B.C.I. SAYS MY INTERVIEW TOOK A COLLAR WITH MORALES FOUR YEARS AGO.

GO AHEAD. I'LL CHECK ON THESE OTHER SKELLS HERE.

YEAH. WHAT IS IT, THREE?

UH, LIEU.

WHAT'S THE CABDRIVER'S NAME,

THE ONE THAT MADE THE BOGUS COMPLAINT?

PIERRE LaFONT.

MY BROTHER BANGED HIM OUT AT A BUS STOP

ON 9th AND 23rd.

YEAH?

YEAH, LISTEN,

I GOT SOME OTHER NAMES FOR YOU TO CHECK.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, TOBY, HUH,

THAT THIS IS THE DARK AGES?

YOU THINK WE DON'T KEEP RECORDS?

WHAT, MAN? YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T KNOW RICHIE MORALES.

I DON'T.

YOU AND MORALES GOT COLLARED TOGETHER

IN NYACK FOUR YEARS AGO.

I GOT PROBATION ON THAT. BEEN CLEAN SINCE.

YOU BEEN CLEAN, BUT YOUR MEMORY WENT.

YOU FORGOT WHO RICHIE MORALES WAS.

RICHIE'S BAD NEWS. I GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM.

I DIDN'T WANT TO GET CONNECTED UP.

YOUR NEXT VIDEO BARN JOB WILL BE IN ATTICA.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS!

WE GOT A DRUG CHARGE, OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE.

MAYBE HE'S WITH THIS CHICK NAMED TENIQUA.

THAT'S ALL I KNOW.

THIS TENIQUA WOULD BE WHERE?

SHE STAYED ON ESSEX WHEN I WAS BONING HER. 414.

YOU BETTER HOPE WE FIND HIM.

GOT THE ADDRESS ON MORALES' GIRLFRIEND.

I'LL CALL YOU BACK.

GREG, JAMES, ADRIANNE.

HELP US GRAB A GUY?

DIANE, CAN I TALK TO YOU A SECOND?

MAKE AN EXCUSE UP.

I DON'T WANT YOU OUT ON THIS.

I DON'T WANT YOU‐‐

BOBBY, YOU READY?

YEAH.

YOU GUYS COVERED WITHOUT ME?

YEAH, WE'RE O. K.

GOOD. 'CAUSE I GOT TO RUN AN ERRAND.

THE OUTBOUND DRIVE ON THE 59th STREET BRIDGE IS ABSOLUTELY LONGER.

I'LL CHECK WITH THE SUPER.

THERE IS NO CONSTRUCTION,

AND IT'S FOUR TO SIX MINUTES LONGER.

AFTER THIS GOES DOWN, CAN YOU DO ME A FAVOR?

WHAT'S UP?

LIEU'S BROTHER'S IN A JAM.

SOME GYPSY CABBY FILED SOME BOGUS BRIBERY CHARGE ON HIM.

THE KID'S SERGEANT'S LOOKING TO HANG HIM UP.

THIS CABBY'S GOT A RECORD, RIGHT?

I'M HAVING HIS WET PHOTO PULLED DOWN AT B.C.I.

THEY SAY HE CRUISES THE BUS STOPS ON 9th AND 23rd.

WE'RE LOOKING TO HAIL HIS CAB?

DON'T TELL ANDY. HE'S LOOKING FOR A REASON TO BAIL ON MEETING SYLVIA'S SICK UNCLE.

THIS TENIQUA BROAD'S UP IN 3G

AND WOULD WE REMIND HER HER RENT CHECK'S OVERDUE?

[TELEVISION] LORI, MY WIFE THAT I'M MARRIED TO NOW,

IS A WONDERFUL LADY.

YOU DIDN'T TELL HER THAT YOU'RE COMING ON THE SHOW?

AAH!

FREEZE! GET YOUR HANDS UP!

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

WHO ELSE IS HERE?

NOBODY!

GET YOUR HANDS ON THE TABLE!

WHAT'S GOING ON? WHAT IS THIS?

THEY BROKE THE DOOR, RICHIE.

I'M NOT RICHIE. WHO'S RICHIE?

WE'RE IN!

GET DRESSED!

ALL RIGHT! ALL RIGHT!

WAY TO GO. WAY TO GO.

I GOT A PRETTY GOOD SENSE OF PEOPLE, RICHIE.

MY SENSE IS YOU'RE NOT SUCH A BAD GUY.

YOU PLAYING WITH ME?

YOU DID SOME MUGGINGS 'CAUSE YOU NEEDED TO SUPPORT YOUR HABIT.

I TRIED TO GET IN THE PROGRAM LAST YEAR.

THEY WAS FULL.

WITH THESE MUGGINGS, YOU SPECIFICALLY CHOSE THE CHINESE

BECAUSE YOU KNOW THEY TEND NOT TO FIGHT BACK.

YOU'RE LOOKING TO LESSEN THE POSSIBILITY

THAT SOMETHING MAY GET OUT OF HAND.

THAT'S MY GUESS ON YOUR THINKING.

I'M NOT LOOKING TO HURT NOBODY.

WHICH IS THE BAD LUCK WITH THIS GUY

WHOSE CREDIT CARDS YOU TOOK THE OTHER DAY.

YOU WERE JUST LOOKING TO SCORE TO HELP YOURSELF.

THEN EVERYTHING WENT OUT OF WHACK.

THIS GUY HAD A HEART CONDITION.

IF SOMEBODY SNEEZED WHEN HE WASN'T EXPECTING IT,

HE'D CROAK FROM THAT.

GET IN FRONT OF THIS NOW,

YOU CAN PUT YOURSELF IN A BETTER LIGHT‐‐

BASICALLY GOOD KID WITH A LITTLE BIT OF A DRUG PROBLEM

PULLS SOME LOW‐RISK JOBS TO SUPPORT HIS HABIT.

ONE GOES TOTALLY OPPOSITE HIS INTENTIONS.

THAT'S THE WAY I READ IT.

DON'T WORK WITH ME ON THIS,

HOW I READ IT DOESN'T MATTER.

TAKE YOUR CHANCES, AND YOU CAN GO TO TRIAL, RICHIE.

I'LL TELL YOU THIS,

BETWEEN THE CREDIT CARDS THAT WE FOUND IN YOUR THINGS,

ALL THESE WITNESSES THAT SAW YOU,

AND YOUR GIRLFRIEND'S TESTIMONY...

WE GOT THE DEATH PENALTY BACK. DID YOU KNOW THAT?

WHAT KIND OF DEAL YOU TALKING ABOUT?

YOUR FULL COOPERATION,

YOU TELLING ME EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED,

I COULD GET YOU DOWN TO MANSLAUGHTER.

CAN YOU MAKE THAT DEAL?

I TELL THE D. A., THE D. A. LETS THE JUDGE KNOW

THAT YOU GAVE US COOPERATION.

I DON'T WANT NO IF‐COME.

I GOT TO TALK TO SOMEBODY WITH JUICE.

BOBBY, CAN I SEE YOU FOR A MINUTE?

LET ME SEE WHAT I CAN DO.

WHAT'S UP?

WE PICKED UP THAT CABBY.

I DON'T WANT LIEU TO HAVE TO SIGN ON TO THIS.

HOW'S IT GOING WITH MORALES?

WE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

YOU MADE A COLLAR?

WE WERE TAKING AN EARLY DINNER,

AND THIS GYPSY CAB ROLLS THROUGH A STOP SIGN,

WHICH IS NO BIG THING, YOU KNOW?

BUT THEN HE JUMPS A LIGHT, SO WE PULLED HIM OVER.

WHAT WAS HIS NAME?

PIERRE LaFONT.

THE GUY HAD 14 SUSPENSIONS ON HIS LICENSE

AND A GUN STASHED UNDER HIS FRONT SEAT.

YOU COLLARED THIS GUY?

HE'S IN THREE.

THANKS, JAMES.

ANDY.

HEY, ANDY.

WE SAW HER SICK UNCLE.

THE BACHELOR PARTY'S NOW.

IT'S NOT FOR 20 MINUTES. WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MORALES?

HE WANTS THE D.A. TO DEAL WITH HIM.

HE HAS SOMETHING TO TRADE? NO.

SO HOW'S THE D. A. GONNA DEAL?

HE WANTS TO TALK TO THE D. A.

NO. I WANT TO TALK TO THIS GUY IN THREE.

LIEU'S GOT A PERSONAL SITUATION.

ALL RIGHT. WE'RE COVERED. I'LL SEE YOU AT THE PARTY.

NIGHT.

YEAH. UH, JOHN.

HEY...

YOU GOT A MINUTE?

CERTAINLY, DETECTIVE.

LET ME HAVE YOUR BRIEFCASE.

ALL RIGHT.

I'LL ONLY USE IT A MINUTE.

THERE'S NOTHING WEIRD IN HERE, IS THERE?

SOME VISINE AND MY DAY‐RUNNER.

RICHIE MORALES?

YOU THE D. A.?

MY NAME'S SIPOWICZ.

I HEARD YOU WANTED TO TALK.

NOW...I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND SOMETHING HERE, PIERRE.

I WANT THE TRUTH ABOUT A FEW THINGS.

THAT'S ALL I WANT.

I NEED THAT GUN TO DEFEND MYSELF.

THAT GUN, THAT'S AN ILLEGAL WEAPON.

POSSESSING A LOADED UNREGISTERED FIREARM IS A FELONY.

BEEN IN A STATION HOUSE BEFORE?

NO.

NO? NEVER ONCE?

YOU NEVER BEEN AT THE 8th PRECINCT STATION HOUSE?

WHAT'D YOU ASK ABOUT THAT?

I TOLD YOU WHAT I WANT.

I AM LOOKING FOR THE TRUTH.

I SPOKE TO THOSE INVESTIGATORS ALREADY.

WHAT INVESTIGATORS?

WHAT YOU ASK ABOUT 8th PRECINCT?

YOU SPOKE TO SOME INVESTIGATORS THERE?

I DON'T WANT TROUBLE WITH WHAT WENT ON UP THERE.

DID YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID ABOUT THE TRUTH, PIERRE?

THAT IS ALL THAT I AM LOOKING FOR.

IF I GET IT,

THEN MAYBE THE GUN PART OF THIS CAN GO AWAY.

I AM A CAB DRIVER.

I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE‐‐ A GYPSY CABBY.

SO A COP WAS MAKING ME SUMMONSES

WITH OTHER GUYS I WORK WITH. AT THE 8th PRECINCT?

WHY WERE YOU GETTING SUMMONSES?

PICKUP AT BUS STOPS, WHICH WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO,

BUT WE'RE TRYING TO EARN.

SO I GO TO 8th PRECINCT.

MAYBE I SAY TOO MANY THINGS.

MAYBE I EXAGGERATE SOMEWHAT.

EXAGGERATE HOW?

HOW MAYBE...

THE COP WAS ASKING ME TO KICK BACK MONEY,

GIVE HIM A BRIBE.

DID THE COP ASK YOU FOR MONEY?

MAYBE I EXAGGERATE SOMEWHAT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.

DID HE ASK YOU FOR MONEY?

NO, HE DIDN'T ASK.

YOU LIED THAT THIS COP SOLICITED A BRIBE FROM YOU.

I JUST WANTED HIM OFF MY BACK.

NOW THE SERGEANT SAYS I HAVE TO WRITE IT DOWN,

MAKE A COMPLAINT.

I TRIED TO WALK AWAY. HE SAID NO.

I DIDN'T WANT IT TO GET LIKE THIS.

I DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD GET SO BIG.

YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE LYING.

I EXAGGERATED.

YOU WANT TO TAKE THIS EXAGGERATION BACK?

I DO! I DON'T WANT TO BE IN TROUBLE.

WHO DO I TALK TO TO TAKE IT BACK?

[OFF‐KEY] ♪ THE MORE I SEE YOU ♪

♪ THE MORE I WANT YOU ♪

♪ SOMEHOW THIS FEELING ♪

♪ JUST GROWS AND GROWS ♪

ENJOYING YOURSELF?

YOU'RE KILLING THEM.

HEY, COME HERE, BUDDY. HEY, FELLAS.

FOR ALL YOU DO, ANDY SIPOWICZ, THIS BROAD'S FOR YOU.

SAY HELLO TO SABRINA. HOW ABOUT IT? HEY!

CONGRATULATIONS, ANDY.

YEAH, THANKS A LOT.

ANYTHING YOU WANT TO DO, IT'S COVERED.

MAYBE LATER ON, HUH?

HOW'S IT GOING, CHRIS?

ANDY.

THIS BOTHER YOU?

NO.

I CAN CATCH YOU BETWEEN DRINKS.

IT'S O. K.

16 YEARS SINCE WE RODE TOGETHER.

I WAS THINKING WHEN I SAW YOU.

NOT CLOSE AS PREVIOUSLY.

I THINK ABOUT YOU.

NEW MARRIAGE...

ON THE WAGON.

I AIN'T NEITHER OF THOSE, BUT THAT'S HORSE RACES.

HEY, BIG GUY.

HEY, MEDAVOY.

GREG MEDAVOY, THIS IS CHRIS DOWDELL,

AND THIS IS JAMES MARTINEZ.

HOW'S IT GOING? HOW'S IT GOING?

I WAS JUST CONGRATULATING ANDY ON HIS UPCOMING EVENT.

WE PARTNERED IN THE PREVIOUS CENTURY.

GLAD HE'S GETTING MARRIED.

HE'S TURNED A WHOLE LEAF.

I WANTED TO TAKE THIS GIRL OUT.

ANDY'S MARRIAGE COMING UP

KIND OF BROKE THE ICE FOR ME. GOT US TALKING.

HOW'D IT GO LAST NIGHT?

WE HAD COFFEE. IT WAS OUR FIRST TIME OUT.

HEY, I'M GOING TO DO THIS AGAIN.

NICE MEETING YOU GUYS.

GOOD TO MEET YOU, CHRIS.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, PARTNER.

YOU, TOO, CHRIS.

SO...

YEAH, WELL, UH...

SO, UH, YOU AND LESNIAK HAD COFFEE?

ONLY THING IS SHE ASKED ME TO WALK HER DOG

WHILE SHE WAS MAKING IT.

SHE'S GOT AN OLDER POODLE.

I TAKE HIM OUTSIDE, AND I'M THINKING,

IT'S A NICE NIGHT.

THE LEAVES ARE OUT. ADRIANNE'S UPSTAIRS MAKING COFFEE.

SUDDENLY, I HEAR THIS THUD.

THE DOG WALKED HEAD‐ON INTO A LIGHTPOLE.

KNOCKED HIMSELF OUT COLD.

SHE LIKES THAT DOG.

THE DOG HAVE SOME KIND OF VISION PROBLEM?

CATARACTS. SHE FORGOT TO TELL ME.

I HELD HIM UNDER A LAWN SPRINKLER,

WHICH I GOT ALL SOAKED.

FINALLY, HE CAME AROUND.

IT TOOK ME THREE MONTHS TO HAVE COFFEE WITH HER,

AND NOW I KILLED HER DOG.

BUT THE DOG CAME AROUND.

YEAH, FORTUNATELY, HE DID.

HERE HE IS.

SORRY I'M LATE.

HOW'S THE GROOM‐TO‐BE?

COUNTING THE MINUTES.

ANYBODY WANT ANYTHING?

ALL SET.

HEY, BOBBY.

HEY.

HEY.

MORALES GO?

HE GAVE UP A STATEMENT.

MORALES SAID SOME ASSISTANT D. A.

TOLD HIM HE WAS LOOKING AT MANSLAUGHTER.

THAT RIGHT?

I DIDN'T KNOW WE HAD ONE IN THE HOUSE.

IF THAT HAPPENED, I'LL BET THE A.D.A. TOLD HIM A STATEMENT

THAT WOULD GET HIM SOME CONSIDERATION.

ONLY A JUDGE COULD MAKE THE DEAL.

LEON SAYS YOU MIGHT WANT A PRIVATE DANCE LESSON.

UH‐OH.

GO, ANDY!

I DON'T REALLY NEED A PRIVATE DANCE SESSION.

WELL, YOU'RE AN EASY MAN TO PLEASE.

GOOD INVESTMENT, THERE, ANDY.

YOU DON'T MIND IF I DON'T STAY, DO YOU?

WOULD YOU SMUGGLE ME OUT IN YOUR TRUNK?

ANDY, I'M...

YOU KNOW I'M SEEING THIS GIRL, RIGHT?

RUSSELL.

YEAH.

YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT THAT PROBLEM.

IT'S HER PROBLEM.

I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.

GUYS, SEE YOU LATER.

SO, ANDY, WHAT DO YOU THINK'S THE BEST BET

THIS TIME OF NIGHT?

59th STREET TO THE GRAND CENTRAL

OR THE MIDTOWN TO THE L. I. E.?

I'D GO THE BRIDGE.

I'M BACK WITH MARIE. I'M MAKING THE DRIVE AGAIN.

THIS THING WORKING?

HOW DID ALL THESE PEOPLE GET IN MY ROOM?

I WANT TO DEDICATE A SONG TO THE GROOM‐TO‐BE,

WHICH I THINK IS VERY APPROPRIATE AT THIS TIME.

HIT IT, LEON.

♪ AND NOW THE END IS NEAR ♪

♪ AND SO I FACE ♪

♪ THE FINAL CURTAIN ♪

♪ MY FRIEND ♪

♪ I'LL SAY IT CLEAR... ♪

PROMISE ME SOMETHING.

I WILL TAKE CARE OF YOUR FISH.

NO. IF THIS GOES MORE THAN TWO CHORUSES, BLOW MY HEAD OFF.

HEY, REGGIE.

YOU KNOW THAT CABBY RECANTED HIS STATEMENT.

YEAH. YEAH, I'M GLAD.

YOU ARE ONE HOOKED‐UP NEGRO.

WASN'T ME.

OH, O. K.

SOME PEOPLE IN MY SQUAD MADE IT RIGHT.

OH, YEAH?

YOU DON'T LIVE BY YOURSELF IN THIS JOB.

BEFORE I TRANSFER OUT,

I'LL ASK McNAMARA FOR AN INVITE

TO THE NEXT ST. PATTY'S PARADE.

STEER CLEAR OF McNAMARA.

REMEMBER, FOUR OR FIVE PEOPLE REACHED OUT FOR YOU.

NOT A BROTHER IN THE BUNCH.

I GOT TO TURN IN MY MONTHLY STATS.

TELL THOSE PEOPLE THANKS.

YEAH, YOU GOT IT.

GOOD MORNING, DETECTIVE.

HEY.

I WAS HOPING YOU'D BE HERE.

I SENT FOR THIS. IT WAS DELAYED. IT JUST CAME MAIL ORDER.

BEST WISHES TO YOU AND MISS COSTAS.

THANKS A LOT.

IT'S ONE OF THOSE LOVE‐IT‐OR‐HATE‐IT PRESENTS.

IT'S A QUILT.

IT HAS... FISH ON IT.

I COLLECT FISH.

YES, I KNOW.

SALT WATER TROPICALS.

ANYWAYS, UH...

THANKS A LOT, JOHN.

YOU'RE WELCOME, DETECTIVE.

BEST OF LUCK.

THANKS.

DETECTIVE.

I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE MY NEW COLLEAGUE NOW.

YOU JOINED THE FORCE?

NO, I GATHER YOU'VE BECOME AN A. D. A.

IS THIS A RUNNING START FOR WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY?

YOU REPRESENTED YOURSELF AS A DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO RICHIE MORALES.

HE MADE A STATEMENT THINKING YOU'D OFFERED MANSLAUGHTER.

I NEVER SAID THAT OR THAT I WAS A D. A.

HE FIGURED I WAS. I DIDN'T CORRECT HIS IMPRESSION.

I SAID WHAT I'D SAY AS A COP‐‐

THE JUDGE MAKES THE CALL,

BUT HIS COOPERATION WOULD BE NOTED.

COURTS HAVE HELD CONFESSIONS CAN BE OBTAINED BY RUSE OR TRICK,

SO LONG AS AN INNOCENT MAN WOULDN'T BE DECEIVED.

WELL, THERE'S A RELIEF.

THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME MORE COMFORTABLE WITH WHAT YOU'VE DONE.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME AGAIN?

ARNOLD ROSENTHAL.

ARNOLD, WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE YOUR CARD?

I'LL BE IN TOUCH

THE SECOND THAT YOUR COMFORT BECOMES IMPORTANT TO ME. HMM?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT SYLVIA SEES IN YOU.

WHAT A DICK.

MORNING, LIEU.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, ANDY?

AN 8:00 TO 4:00. WEDDING'S NOT TILL 6:00.

WILL IT TAKE ME NINE HOURS TO GET DRESSED?

WELL, LILLIAN CALLED FROM MARYLAND TO TELL YOU

SHE SENDS HER VERY BEST WISHES.

SHE'S DOWN THERE TAKING CARE OF HER SISTER.

TELL HER THANKS FOR HER THOUGHTS.

YEAH. BOBBY, GOT A MINUTE FOR ME? SURE.

SO MY BROTHER SAYS THAT CABBY'S WITHDRAWN HIS COMPLAINT.

HMM.

PIERRE LaFONT. YEAH, THE GUY

YOU COLLARED ON THOSE MOVING VIOLATIONS.

HE MENTIONED THAT WAS BOGUS,

THOSE CHARGES HE FILED IN THE 8th.

HOWEVER THAT WENT DOWN, I'M VERY GRATEFUL ABOUT IT.

HEY, YOU WERE LOOKING OUT FOR YOUR BROTHER.

AND YOU WERE LOOKING OUT FOR ME.

ARE WE ALL GOING TO LIVE TILL ANDY'S WEDDING?

I THINK THE ODDS ARE UP TO EVEN MONEY.

SHE'S IN THE LOCKER ROOM.

[RATTLES KNOB]

HUH.

[KNOCK KNOCK]

JUST A MINUTE.

YEAH, WELL, I NEED TO COME IN NOW.

[KNOCK KNOCK]

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE, DIANE?

YOU DON'T ANSWER YOUR PAGER. I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE.

I, UH, HAD TO THINK THINGS OUT.

YEAH?

AND YOU'RE RIGHT.

I HAVE A PROBLEM.

THEY SAY THAT'S A GOOD THING WHEN YOU CAN ADMIT IT.

YEAH. YOU GOT A GOLD STAR FOR ME?

I TOLD MYSELF IT CAME FROM WORKING UNDERCOVER,

BUT, UM...

IT'S WORSE SINCE I TRANSFERRED.

AND THINKING BACK, I'VE BEEN DRINKING SINCE I WAS 15.

THAT PROGRAM REALLY SEEMED TO HELP ANDY.

YEAH, MAYBE I'LL GET IN TOUCH WITH SOMEONE THERE.

I, UM...

I WANT TO HELP YOU, DIANE.

I CARE FOR YOU.

I DON'T WANT TO MESS US UP, BOBBY.

I THINK I'D BETTER TAKE CARE OF THIS FIRST.

ALL RIGHT, IF THAT'S THE WAY YOU WANT TO HANDLE IT.

SO YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE EACH OTHER AT ALL.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO THE WEDDING WITH ME.

NO.

YEAH.

ALL RIGHT.

OH...

I'M SORRY.

DON'T BE SORRY.

YOU'RE TRYING TO HELP YOURSELF.

YEAH.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[ORGAN PLAYS]

MAURICE O. K. TODAY?

JAMES, HE'S FINE.

YOU KNOW, I JUST‐‐ I WORRY ABOUT HIS SKULL.

HOW DO YOU THINK I LEARNED HIS CATARACTS WERE SO BAD?

THAT'S NOT THE FIRST LAMP POST HE BUMPED INTO.

YEAH. CAN I ASK YOU ONE MORE QUESTION?

HOW'S IT FEEL TO BE THE BEST‐LOOKING GIRL IN THE CHURCH?

AH, HERE'S THE LIEUTENANT.

HEY, LIEU.

HELLO.

DON'T LET THIS GUY EAT TOO MUCH CAKE.

HE'LL HAVE TO MOVE UP TO A NEW WEIGHT CLASS.

THAT'S MY BOSS... AND MY BOXING COACH.

ISN'T IT BEAUTIFUL, GREG?

VERY MUCH SO, YEAH.

OUR FOURTH DAY BACK TOGETHER,

HERE WE ARE, IN A BEAUTIFUL CHURCH.

YEAH, IT'S VERY STRIKING.

I THINK THERE'S A REASON YOU AND I ARE HERE, GREG.

I THINK THE CEREMONY IS FOR US AS WELL.

INTERESTING.

I'M GOING TO PRETEND WE'RE UP THERE.

OH, YEAH?

I'M GOING TO TAKE THE VOWS

WHEN SYLVIA DOES. YOU SHOULD DO THE SAME

WHEN ANDY TAKES HIS VOWS.

S‐‐UH, S‐SILENTLY, RIGHT?

WE'LL LOOK AT EACH OTHER SO WE KNOW WE'RE DOING IT.

O.K., MARIE.

IS SHE HERE?

MARIE... DO NOT START.

AM I STICKING YOU?

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU'RE ALL SET.

OH, YEAH.

THERE'S THE FINISH LINE.

TELL YOU THE TRUTH,

I DIDN'T KNOW IF I WAS GOING TO MAKE IT.

THAT RIGHT?

I FELT A LITTLE...

SKITTISH THE LAST FEW DAYS.

I COULD STILL BE ON THE TURNPIKE

BEFORE ANYBODY KNEW I WAS MISSING.

YOU DON'T WANT THAT.

NO.

I JUST DON'T WANT TO SCREW UP.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, DADDY?

I'M F...

FULL OF EMOTION.

I KNOW.

I KNOW.

[SNIFFS]

I'M HAPPY, YES.

I JUST WISH THAT YOUR MOTHER COULD'VE LIVED TO BE HERE.

I FEEL LIKE SHE IS HERE.

AND I FEEL LIKE SHE IS STANDING IN FRONT OF ME.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, MY ARGYRO?

YES.

HE'S A GOOD MAN.

HE'S A MAN I TRUST.

EVERYONE IS TESTED, ARGYRO...

BUT I KNOW HE WANTS GOOD FOR YOU.

I LOVE HIM, PAPA.

AND THAT...

IS EVERYTHING.

MY BEAUTIFUL CHILD.

THERE'S MY KID.

I THOUGHT HE COULDN'T COME. YEAH.

HEY, POP.

HEY, SON.

LATE FOR CHURCH. WHAT ELSE IS NEW?

SHOULD I BE LOOKING FOR MPs?

I FINAGLED A PASS.

HUH.

UH, THIS IS BOBBY SIMONE, MY BEST MAN.

LET'S DO IT.

THAT'S WHAT THAT GUY IN UTAH SAID.

WHAT'S THAT?

"LET'S DO IT." HE SAID THAT TO THE FIRING SQUAD

JUST BEFORE THEY WHACKED HIM.

HOW'S IT GOING?

ANDY...
