Original subtitles

(gunfire, shell casings clinking)

Better not go shooting with your brothers anymore.

Youll show em up.

They need to be put in their place from time to time.

Still out-shoot us all, though.

Well, targets dont shoot back.

You miss the job, dont you?

What I probably miss is the idea of it, not the reality.

So, rumor has it,

youre getting out more often.

You seeing anybody?

Who ratted me out?

I have my sources.

Mm-hmm.

Nicky?

She doesnt want her mom to be lonely.

The only time I felt lonely is

when I was married to her father.

And how is your ex-husband?

(laughing)

(subway cars clacking on tracks)

Whats the matter, you nervous?

I been through worse than this.

MAN: Yeah, right.

MAN 2: Nervous is fine.

Keeps you on your toes.

But if youre scared, we have a problem.

Lets go.

All right, before we hit the streets, lets say hi

to our new cop here,

Officer Luisa Sosa, who made 72 collars her rookie year.

I guess that could even be a new record.

It is.

Well, there you have it.

She joins us from the 2-9. How about it?

(applause and cheering)

Okay, be careful out there today.

MAN: Lets do it.

(banging on podium)

All right?

Oh, hey, Reagan, little change in plans.

You ride with Sosa.

You guys are running Bingo Bags today.

Reagan, nice to see you.

How you doing?

What? You two know each other.

Academy. Academy.

Nice. A reunion.

You can work together and catch up.

I want you both in plain clothes.

And you get her up to speed, okay, college boy?

Okay, you got it, Sarge.

All right.

So, hows married life with the Harvard honey?

Oh, it didnt quite have the fairy-tale ending.

Count your blessings.

Oh.

Well, thats two surprises.

Im single. What else?

Youre still in the bag. I figured Daddy

would have you commanding a detective squad by now.

Uh, I turned it down,

hoping to work Bingo Bags with you someday.

Well, Im glad that worked out for you.

Mm-hmm. So, whats Bingo Bags?

A great way to ruin somebodys day.

Come on, lets get changed.

(quiet whimpering, crying)

MAN: Shh...

People...

(hostages gasping)

...just need a few more minutes of your time.

Then well be out of your lives.

Anybody moves, itll be the last thing you do on this earth.

You got something you want to say, Rabbi?

WOMAN: Do as he says!

Hey.

Almost done back there?

Im coming. Im coming!

(grunts, people scream)

(gasps)

(people screaming)

(groaning)

(grunts)

(murmuring)

(excited chatter)

(panting)

(siren blaring)

Help me.

Somebody, please.

(siren blaring, tires squealing)

(groaning)

(sirens blaring)

(gasping)

(groaning)

(sirens blaring)

You have a briefing on the new Impact Zone deployment,

the Borough Presidents meeting,

and then your train leaves for Washington.

I have printed out your remarks

for the Senate hearing on gun violence.

Did the report come in on the shooting

out in Rockaway last night?

Itll be here for you to review on the train to D.C.

And DCPI should be... here.

(indistinct voices on TV)

Another smiling face.

We have a botched bank robbery

thats morphed into a hostage situation.

(sighs)

Baker, cancel the Washington trip.

I can testify some other time.

Its a great country, isnt it?

A Mick flatfoot from Brooklyn gets

invited to stand before the most august body in the land.

And you werent even subpoenaed.

Thanks for the perspective. What else?

Danny caught the case.

Garrett, it has been a decade

since I was in the business of assigning detectives.

This is a tabloid city, Frank. Theyll make a meal of it.

Then its small potatoes.

I have no control over who gets these cases.

They dont buy it.

(sighs)

(siren blaring)

(garbled radio transmission)

(indistinct shouting)

(garbled radio transmission)

OFFICER: Yes, sir...

(siren blaring)

Its a real junkie-with-a-note robbery.

They compromised the alarm system,

they knocked out the video feeds.

Then they bypassed the electronic vault lock.

Have any idea how big the crew is? Three perps.

According to witnesses, two of them bolted.

Their van is gone.

One of them was shot.

By who? A customer.

The bank manager says it was a diamond dealer,

licensed to carry.

He in turn was shot for his effort.

Is he alive?

Based on what witnesses say, we believe so.

MAN: Hey, Captain.

Hey, you know Jack Condo, one of our negotiators?

Hey.

Regular

Dog Day Afternoon here, huh?

Oh, yeah.

Do you have any information

on the guy inside?

No, nothing, Danny. Hes not responding.

TARUs capturing the phone lines,

so if he calls out, hes only gonna get us.

Weve got a command center

setting up out back.

Meanwhile, we got the place on lockdown,

we got an entry team ready to roll,

snipers in position,

ready to line up a shot.

Yeah, unless I can talk him out first.

Either that, or I lay him out.

Okay, well, while you two figure that out,

we got two desperadoes

running around town with guns in their hands.

Can you keep us posted on any information

you get from the inside? It could help us

find out who these guys are.

Sure thing.

Thanks, guys.

JACKIE: Hey. Hey.

We, uh, got a description of the van and a partial plate.

Plus, check this out.

Came from a security camera on a building next door.

With the masks and gloves on, its hard to make anything out.

Is that a tattoo? I think so. If we blow it up,

Im sure we can see what it says.

All right, well, lets try and get...

WOMAN: Help! Help!

Hes got a gun!

Hes got a gun!

Come on.

Hold it! Hold it!

Theres blood everywhere!

Whats going on? Come here. Come here.

Whats going on?

Hes in the back.

Okay.

Where is he? Where is he with the gun? Gun?

Back. In back.

(sighs)

Well, now were down to hunting one mutt.

Yeah. Well, he died with a gun in his hands.

His mother will be proud.

What, you know this guy?

Yeah, Vinny Vario.

Hes from the West Side.

Hes been pulling heists since he was ten years old.

You know who he works with?

No, but I know somebody who does.

Why dont you sit tight here,

feed me anything that happens, all right?

Im gonna make a date. Yeah.

Wonderful.

This is my date.

This important?

I got tickets for the ballet.

Bumped into a friend of yours.

He looks like crap.

Ooh.

He actually looks better dead.

Yeah. He had a little mishap at the bank.

You have any idea what he was up to?

Who he was working with?

He came to me maybe two weeks ago,

said he was looking to put a crew together.

Whyd he come to you?

Wanted to talk me out of retirement.

Ah, and you dont give me a heads up,

let me know something might be going down?

Crime prevention is your bailiwick, Detective, not mine.

Ah. And besides, I aint got no crystal ball.

At least 20 jobs get planned for every one that happens.

Okay, all right. Did any names come up?

No, no names. He did mention

the guy that brought him the job was new to the racket.

You saying, Vario was working with an amateur?

Thats the way it sounded to me.

Looks like that came back

to bite him in the ass.

(engine starting)

Youre welcome. Yeah.

(siren blaring, garbled radio transmission)

(phone ringing)

(panting)

You had to be a hero.

(panting)

Please, I need to go to a hospital.

Let me see.

All right.

Arent you going to answer that?

(woman whimpering)

Come out of there.

Im not gonna hurt you.

(cries) Come on.

Please, I dont want any trouble.

(groaning)

Get over by him.

He needs to go to a hospital.

What, are you a doctor or a bank clerk?

I dropped out of nursing school.

Good.

See what you can do for him.

(man groaning, phone ringing)

CONDO: Hey.

Thanks for answering.

Okay to go.

Im Jack.

Hows it going in there, huh?

Were, uh... were getting ready to play pinochle.

CONDO: Okay.

Can I get you anything? A deck of cards?

How about, uh,

five million in 20s and a helicopter?

Okay, so you want money and transportation.

So hows it go?

Now you give me 20 bucks and a skateboard

and tell me you gave me everything I asked for?

Save it.

Look, we have a situation here.

Im just trying to help you resolve it.

At least tell me your name.

Call me Ishmael.

(dial tone)

All right, now what?

Its 98 in the shade today.

We turn off the air-conditioning,

decrease his comfort level.

Then I keep dialing.

Last one of these took 28 hours.

So the decoy leaves a bag with valuables in it on a bench,

and if someone comes along and takes it, we collar them

for petit larceny?

Thats about it. Theory is,

people committing smaller crimes

also commit the big ones

or know people who do.

Yeah, broken windows, blah, blah, blah.

But I love it.

Yeah, I figured you would.

You got a problem with this, Reagan?

Just that its borderline entrapment.

Come on, you take something that doesnt belong to you,

youre a perp.

Or did you miss that class at the academy?

(indistinct chatter)

Yo.

All right.

Come on,

come on.

Here we go.

Oh, man, yo, there is a purse in here, man.

Like shooting fish in a barrel.

Yeah, hold, hold on a beat, Dirty Harry.

First we roll the scooter by,

give em a chance to turn the bag in.

No way these hippity-hop mopes turn it in.

They think they won the lottery.

Hey, yo, Officer.

Yeah, I found this.

Whered you find this at?

Right there on the bench.

OFFICER: Just sitting there?

MAN: Just sitting there.

Damn. What do you know?

MAN: Take it in?

MAN 2: Yo, do we get a reward or no?

SNIPER: Captain, I have a shot.

CONDO: Stand by.

(phone line ringing)

(helicopter hovering)

(phones ringing)

Why dont you just tell them what you want?

Because what I want--

they cant give it to me.

Yeah, well, you keep this up and were going to lose him.

(phones ringing)

Hey, friend, you want to turn the AC back on?

Im worried about the injured hostage, Ishmael.

You send him out and well talk about air-conditioning.

Yeah, dont worry about him.

Hes definitely not likely.

The round went through his shoulder--

all meat, no bones, no arteries.

Youre not a doctor, Ishmael, you cant be sure.

Just turn on the damn air-conditioning.

DANNY: Are you sure thats what he said?

Yeah, "not likely," like in not likely to die.

You ever hear anyone say that but a cop?

No, only on this job do we use a negative

to describe a positive.

All right, so hes using police jargon.

The negotiator, too-- he was all over him,

like he knew the script or something.

Right, like hed been on the job.

And then theres what my CI told me.

Whatd he say?

Well, he said that the dead perp Vario

was hooking up with a guy new to the business.

You know, I hate to say this, but...

You can say it-- our perp is a cop.

(garbled radio transmission)

(siren wailing, helicopter hovering)

Ishmael, I just got some news,

and now I think were kind of all on the same side here.

Whys that? You a bank robber, too?

No,

but youre on the job, or you were.

Isnt that right?

So we need to work together

to get you out of there in one piece.

Thats what you want,

and now thats what we want.

Commissioner, sir.

Commissioner, sir.

As you were.

Good morning.

Not so far, it isnt.

Lieutenant, what do we know?

Sir, we think he may be a cop.

Based on?

He seems to know the negotiating script

better than any civilian would.

Also he used...

He also referred

to the wounded hostage as "not likely,"

and who besides a cop would do that?

Thinking we should let ESU know its one of our own.

Well stick with standard procedure.

Jack, would you excuse us a minute?

Sir.

Im just saying, theres no need to let a cop...

If a priest messes with a kid,

is he any less guilty because of his calling?

No, sir.

Do you respect his bishop if he uses his position

to protect the priest?

Im just...

Danny, whether he is or was a cop is irrelevant.

Right now hes a bank robber with hostages,

and Jack Condo is my best hostage negotiator.

This is his show, understood?

Yes, sir.

Excuse me.

They blew up this shot from the security camera-- the tattoo.

Bella horrida?

Whats

bella horrida?

Its a Latin phrase from Virgil.

Bella horrida--

horrid wars.

What is it?

What?

Everything okay?

(sighs) Yeah, dont ask.

Eighth Squad found the van.

All right, lets go. Okay.

(elevator bell dings)

Baker, I want the rosters and current status

of every member of the Special Investigative Unit

from 1995 through 99.

Including the C.O.?

I was the C.O.

DANNY: Okay, so now we got the van.

We just got to find the missing perp.

Hey, what do you got for us?

Beautiful day for a crime scene, detectives.

Sunshine means people use sun visors.

Thats always one place they never check

to wipe for prints.

We pulled a gorgeous thumbprint right there.

Beautiful. Were in a bit of a hurry.

Can you expedite that for us?

Well, if you get

your partner

bonita

here to give me one of those

big smiles, you got a deal.

Que sonrisa.

Hey, Casanova, come on, you got anything else for us?

Oh, yeah, check it out.

We got this from the parking lot at Kings General Hospital.

Dated yesterday.

Yesterday? The van was stolen

two days ago at a lot at Williamsburg.

What, this perp took the van

to the hospital?

Look, if you get the lab

to turn that print around in an hour,

I got two Mets tickets behind the dugout for you.

Your partner-- she come with me?

Huh?

You should know better than that.

Should know better what?

Never date

a girl with a gun.

(siren wailing)

(garbled radio transmission)

(sighs)

So... you dont have a plan "B," do you?

Dont antagonize him.

Im supposed to just sit here and die?

No, its Vario-- V-A-R-I-O-- Vario.

No staff by that name.

Okay,

what about patients?

Detective,

you know better than that.

Marie,

there are lives at stake here, okay?

So is my career, Danny.

(phone rings)

Reagan.

Youre kidding me.

All right, yeah, yeah, great, yeah.

They found a match on the thumbprint in the van.

Its a Kevin Moran.

The Mets tickets worked.

Can you check Kevin Moran, please?

Marie.

Marie, please.

Wow, do you hear my stomach growling?

I need to go grab my yogurt.

Helps keep me regular.

Okay.

Anything?

No Moran.

Nothing.

Were missing something here, Jack.

Okay, Kevin Moran was released from Wallkill three months ago

after a dime for armed robbery.

His last known address was in the 3-5.

Already checked him out, though, hes negative.

Well, he also had a girlfriend-- a Lacy Campisi.

Shes probably worth checking out.

Is there any connection between Moran and Vario?

Um, well,

Vario was from Manhattan,

Moran was from the ass end of Queens.

Vario did banks.

Yeah, Moran

did warehouses.

(phone rings)

Yeah, Dad.

Do you have any intersection

on the accomplices?

So far, nothing.

Well, take another look at the robbery charges

on their rap sheet.

Who were the arresting officers?

Lets see, nothing, and

a Flood and...

Flood, William J.

Billy Flood.

(sighs)

You think?

I hate to say it, but yeah.

I talked to his ex-wife, I may even have a motive.

Ill leave it to you to hand it over to Condo.

All right.

Well stay in touch.

Whos Billy Flood?

When you were a reporter, you did that story on my unit.

Special Investigations.

Yeah.

No one would actually confirm

that it existed.

It did exist.

And Billy Flood was one of the best men in the unit.

Our guy in the bank

is a Frank Reagan guy?

Not is-- was.

All right, Lacy, this guy Moran, he smacks you around

and yet youre still sitting here protecting him?

I havent seen him for months.

Right, okay, well, your neighbors said there was a lot of arguing

coming from your apartment this morning.

Who was yelling? I was.

My kid was making a mess again.

You got a kid?

Hmm, so you probably wont mind then.

Mind what?

If I call my buddy Paulie.

Whos Paulie?

Just Paulie.

Terminator Paulie?

Terminator Paulie.

You know what Terminator Paulie does?

He works for the city.

Spends all day terminating peoples parental rights.

Whats that got to do with me?

Well, youre gonna be going upstate for hindering

prosecution, so Paulies gonna get to do what Paulie does best.

Thats right. By the time you see

your kid again, hell be growing up with his new mommy.

Probably wont even recognize you.

You cant do that.

Youre right, we cant do it.

But Paulie can.

Hey, Paulie...

I told you-- I dont know where Moran is!

Danny Reagan here. I need a favor.

Yeah. Look, I got a case for you.

Wait!

Oh, yeah.

Wait, wait.

No, shes sitting right here.

You got to promise me he wont get out this time.

Look, Moran is not getting out of prison

unless he leaves in a pine box.

The guys a psycho.

If hes a psycho, then help us find him,

and I promise you, you will never see him again.

Okay. Hey, Paulie.

Im gonna send her up your way. Yeah.

He came by this morning.

Took all the cash I had.

It was my rent money, the bastard.

Ill get back to you.

All right, well, do you know

where he would go if he was on the run?

Kept an old convertible at a chop shop in Brooklyn.

Friend of his runs the place.

You know the address?

Its on Kent Street,

by Broadway, I think.

Its right around where the van was stolen.

REPORTER: Weve just arrived on the scene at the bank

where the hostage situation is unfolding.

Billy Flood was one of the best.

Your father handpicked him for his unit.

They were all young, all single,

all expert marksmen.

ERIN: Sounds more like the Foreign Legion than a police unit.

Well, it was crack cocaine days.

We were fighting a war.

Their job was

to go after the worst of the worst.

They had no set tours,

could use any weapon they wanted.

Basically, it was shoot first and ask questions later.

And these were the good guys?

The stress got to Flood.

Started drinking.

Hmm.

We sent him to The Farm twice.

Then one day in broad daylight on-duty,

he wraps his car around a pole on Fifth Avenue.

He was drunk? Yeah.

Yeah, drinking on the job was a huge problem back then.

I had to set an example,

so I terminated him.

I didnt think I had a choice.

But now...

Im wondering if Id handled it differently,

maybe its the Nature Channel were watching instead.

LINDA: Sorry Im late.

What happened?

Somebody die?

Kevin Moran?

Police!

This guy Moran could have been on the road for hours by now.

Theres a light on in back.

Im gonna check it out.

Theres a convertible over here.

Thing probably hasnt been on the road since the Clinton administration.

Kevin Moran.

Reagan!

Hold it!

Let her go.

Im not going back to the joint. So you decide.

Decide what?

Whether or not you want to go

to your partners funeral three days from now.

Hey, the guy you shot in the bank is fine.

Theres no bodies on you, so let her go.

Reagan, just shoot the son of a bitch. Go ahead.

Im counting to three. One...

two...

All right!

All right.

All right.

I give up.

Too late.

Moron.

Nice shot.

It was very therapeutic.

Though he didnt put up much of a fight.

You should have let me hit him.

(handcuffs clicking)

JAMIE: You might not like it,

but most people do the right thing.

(motorcycle approaching)

Hes mine.

Hey, cowboy. Police.

Dont move.

Youre a cop, little lady? No problem.

(yelling)

Get down.

I got a gun.

All right, people, come on, back it up.

Got him?

Petit larceny and a gun.

Some people, partner, definitely do the wrong thing.

Stop moving.

Hey, anything?

Zippo.

Trying to get him to let the wounded hostage go.

But, you know, I knew this guy.

Yeah, I hear he was the real police.

Yeah, he was.

When the bad guys tell ghost stories,

its SIU theyre talking about.

Why dont you let me talk to him?

Come on, Danny, you know we discourage

third party intervention...

I know the protocol.

Okay, please.

I know, but I can get through to this guy.

Let me take care of this. Let me do my job. Thank you.

All right.

Thats his daughter, right?

Yeah, Emmas her name.

Emma, right.

Yeah, we got it off his ex-wife.

Your father tipped us. You should probably talk to him.

Yeah, Ill do that.

Why dont you just give up?

Theres no way out.

Do you really want to die?

Were not going to stop you.

(phone ringing)

So, whyd you quit nursing school?

Because I cant stand the sight of blood.

(chuckles)

(coughs) Oh, my God, hes going into shock!

We need to get him out of here now!

(phone ringing)

(phone buzzing)

Yeah.

Im ready to talk about the injured hostage.

Thats a smart move, Billy.

Were going to send two paramedics in.

And you send in two cops dressed as EMTs? No!

Billy, Billy,

listen, its Danny Reagan.

Listen, its me, all right?

Let me come in. No paramedics, nobody, just me.

All right, let me get the guy out of there.

Come on, itll make things easier for you, all right?

(hostage coughs)

ERIN: I remember Billy Flood

from all the barbecues Dad used to have.

He was handsome.

All the girls used to swoon over him.

Gee, girls falling for a handsome cop--

how could that happen?

I dont think you have to worry

that Dannys going to start robbing banks.

Its a fine line-- cops and robbers.

Most people choose

what side theyre on early in life.

Yeah, what I mean is

even the good guys have to do awful things.

I just... I worry about Danny,

Jamie, Frank, all of you.

You spend so much time with the ugliness of life.

All the violence.

Its got to scar you.

I think coming from a family like this makes it easier.

I mean, we can talk about it.

We all get it.

I just see what it does to Danny, and...

There are days I wish he would have stayed in construction.

Dont tell him I said that.

Im serious.

(garbled radio transmissions)

DANNY: Let me come in, all right?

Come on, Billy.

Come on, give me a shot.

Fine. Hurry up.

Right. All right.

Hey, hey, you cant do this.

Come on, he said for me to...

Were gonna lose control of the situation.

Were not gonna lose control...

Were supposed to follow procedure.

He said no EMTs!

Your father said follow procedure!

If I dont go in there, the guy is gonna die!

Let him go.

CONDO: All right, Captain.

Linda, Erin, get in here.

Theyre sending Danny in.

Why are they sending Danny?

I dont know.

REPORTER: ...where the hostage situation has been unfolding.

Hed bring his gun in with him, though, right?

I cant say for sure whats going on.

Except that this was probably his idea.

REPORTER: No ones quite sure whats going on...

This could be a major turning point

in this highly tense hostage situation.

Did you know about this?

Well keep you informed as more details become available.

No.

Its all right.

(gasping)

Hey.

Right?

Okay, no tricks. Its just me.

Im going to approach the victim, all right?

Go.

Hey!

Its all right. Hey, Billy,

its all right. Im just taking him out.

Its like we agreed, all right?

(hostage coughing)

Its okay.

No problem.

Come on, I got a hostage. Come on!

Fantastic.

Now we got the P.C.s son held hostage.

Yeah, Id say that was a pretty crappy career move, Captain.

We line up this shot, Im taking this bastard Flood out.

Okay.

Billy...

You got what you wanted, Danny, just go.

I didnt come here for him, Billy.

I came for you.

Your father knows Im in here?

Billy, the whole city knows youre in here by now.

CAPTAIN (over radio): You got a green light.

Roger, Captain.

(helicopter hovering)

Its too late for you to save me, Danny,

so just go.

No, it isnt. Listen...

You got me. Why dont we let her go?

We dont need her, Billy.

Lets let her go. Well figure this out together, you and me.

The only think I need to figure out, Danny,

is do I have the balls to shoot myself

or do I take the cowards way out

and let that sniper do it for me?

Billy... Billy!

Hey! Dont do it.

Oh... Billy!

Come on. Dont do it.

Billy, look at me. Billy!

All right, I tell you what.

You want to do it? You want to kill yourself?

Okay, do it. What about her, Billy?

Huh?

What about your little girl?

You do that,

whos gonna take care of your little girl, Billy?

Thats right, look at her.

Whos gonna take care of her then?

I know thats why youre here.

Come on. The whole city knows thats why youre here, okay?

My old man even said it.

He said, "If I was in Billy Floods position,

"and my kid was gonna die

"if she didnt get an operation and didnt

have any money or insurance, I would do the same thing."

SNIPER (over radio): Reagans blocking my shot.

Come on. Your little girl does not want you stepping

in front of that window and neither do I.

You know what is outside that window, Billy.

She needs a heart transplant. Shes eight years old.

I cant help her.

You know what thats like, Danny,

not being able to save your own child?

I dont.

I was gonna fly her out tonight,

get the operation in India.

"Medical tourism," they call it.

100 grand is all I needed.

Its crazy, I know, but...

(voice breaking): Shes the only good thing I ever did.

The only good thing I ever did.

No, shes not, Billy.

You were a good cop.

You

are

a good cop.

Do the right thing here.

Its not too late to fix it, Billy.

(sirens wailing)

Nah...

Im nothing.

(grunts)

(shouting)

Go to the right! Go, go, go, go!

Go, go, go, go, go!

Move it! Go!

Clear!

Its over, Billy.

Im sorry.

Im sorry.

(panting)

(handcuffs clicking)

(sighs)

"Sources close to the mayor said,

If the Police Commissioner thinks sending his son

to conduct cowboy diplomacy is the way

to handle these situations,

he is sorely out of touch." Huh...

Well, I couldnt agree more.

JAMIE: I got back to the house

with the collar, guys all had it on the break room TV.

Theyre all ripping into me about Danny going into that bank.

Well, for what its worth, it was my bad idea

to go into the bank.

Dad had nothing to do with it.

What a surprise.

HENRY: All good cops pull a ruse,

but the great cops, they know when to improvise.

So you just let em run amok?

I was informed by the Incident Commander that he was sent in.

Chain of command noted and observed.

Still, when I saw you walk into that bank

like John Wayne, I wanted to choke you.

Whos John Wayne?

Thats sad.

(Henry chuckles)

Hes an old movie star.

NICKY: How about Billy Floods daughter?

Whats gonna happen to her?

Well, I think shes gonna be okay.

Catholic Charities moved her up to the top of their list.

Funny thing, after church today,

Father McMurray mentioned how grateful he was

for a donation to the hospitals fund.

Well, I guess theres

a lot of generous people in this city.

LINDA: So it was all for nothing.

He could have just asked for help.

Instead, he robbed a bank.

Sometimes we judge ourselves by our good intentions,

but we are judged by our last worst act.

Are you listening, boys?

Mm-hmm. Yep.

Im so glad I married a hero.

(clears throat)

Excuse me.

Hey, whats going on?

Whats the problem, Linda?

Im so glad that Billy Floods daughters gonna be okay,

but what about our kids, Danny?

What about our kids, Linda? Our kids are fine.

What are you talking about?

Really? Really?

How are our kids gonna be?

What are you talking about?

Whats gonna happen to our kids the next time you swagger into

one of those buildings, and then you dont come out?

What about our kids then, huh, Danny?

What about me? Son of a bitch.

Linda, I knew the guy,

I knew what he was doing in the bank,

and I knew he wasnt gonna shoot me.

You dont know that. You dont know any such thing!

That is macho crap!

John Wayne.

John Wayne never faced a real gun in his life. John Wayne...

(sobs softly)

I was watching it on TV, Danny.

I saw you.

It scared the crap out of me.

Hey. Hey...

(heavy breaths)

Come on.

(sobs)

Im sorry.

Im so sorry.

Look, I love you.

I love you and those boys

more than anything on this Earth,

and I promise you

I wont let anything happen.

You know, the first and last thing I think about every day

before I do anything is to get home safe to you.

(sighs)

Im sorry.

What would you do if I needed an operation and we had no money?

And your life was on the line?

Yeah.

Rob a bank.

(scoffs)

Wow, Ma Barker.

(all chuckle)

Dont listen to your aunt, boys.

HENRY: When you were 18 months old,

you spiked a fever, 105 degrees.

Its 3:00 in the morning.

You mothers in a panic.

Thered been an outbreak of meningitis

in the neighborhood.

Three dead toddlers.

An ambulance crew arrives,

they want to take you to St. Victors;

a butcher shop.

I insist on Methodist. The guy says,

"Im not authorized to go there."

Now, youre burning up, convulsing in my arms.

I take out my service revolver and I say,

"Now youre authorized."

(chuckling)

Check out Pops getting all gangsta.

He pulled a gun on an EMT.

I never heard that story.

We almost lost you that night, Francis.

Guess I owe you one, Pop.
