THERE OUGHT TO BE SOME KIND OF PHONE NUMBER

YOU CAN CALL, LIKE DIAL-A-SQUEAL.

I'M A PROTECTED WITNESS, REMEMBER?

WHY SHOULD I BE NICE TO SCUM LIKE YOU?

UH!

I SUPPOSE YOU FOUND IT ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY

TO SUBDUE A SUSPECT WITH A CHOKE HOLD?

THERE'S NO NEED FOR YOU TO LIE.

WOULD HAVE SAVED YOU FROM GETTING SUSPENDED.

YOU KNOW, WE GOT TO STOP MEETING LIKE THIS.

HUNTER WILL NEVER HAVE TO KNOW ABOUT IT.

GOOD-BYE, HUNTER, WHEREVER YOU ARE.

AAH!

IT'S NOT OVER TILL THE FAT LADY SINGS.

WORKS FOR ME.

LET'S KISS THIS OFF.

BEEN SITTING THIS STAKEOUT FOR 4 DAYS.

FABRO HASN'T EVEN BEEN SEEN IN 6 MONTHS.

IT'S OBVIOUS HE'S NOT GOING TO SHOW UP

TO HIS BROTHER'S RESTAURANT.

THESE ANONYMOUS TIPS STINK.

WHAT'S THE SCORE?

HMM. WHAT?

WHAT IS THE SCORE?

OH. NOW THE GOOD NEWS, MY DEAR.

RAIDERS DOWN BY 6. BALL ON THEIR OWN 20.

30 SECONDS TO GO. 10 BUCKS, BIG GUY.

NOT OVER TILL THE FAT LADY SINGS, DEE DEE.

IT IS OVER, HUNTER.

THE CLOCK JUST HASN'T RUN OUT YET.

LOOK, EVEN IF THEY SCORE,

I STILL GOT A 3-POINT SPREAD. I WIN!

TOUCHDOWN, CONVERSION,

ONSIDES KICK RECOVERY, AND A FIELD GOAL. I WIN.

GIVE ME A BREAK.

HEY, McCALL, COME HERE.

WHAT DO YOU GOT?

THE GUY IN THE PANAMA HAT AND THE EXTRA 20 POUNDS.

DOES HE LOOK FAMILIAR?

NO. I CAN'T MAKE HIM.

20 POUNDS LIGHTER, WITHOUT THE RED HAIR?

THAT'S FABRO. YOU SURE?

YEAH. I'D KNOW THAT SCUM.

HE'S PAYING HIS CHECK.

I'M GETTING OUT HERE.

LOOK OUT! HEY! MOVE IT! MOVE IT!

EVERYBODY DOWN! HE'S GOT A GUN!

HEY! HEY! HEY, THAT'S MY BIKE!

I WANT THAT VAN! GIVE ME THAT VAN!

LOOK OUT, OLD TIMER!

FABRO!

UNH!

UNH! AAH!

Hunter: 5, 6, 7, 8,

9, AND 10 LOUSY DOLLARS FOR YOU.

YOU'RE VERY LUCKY THE RAIDERS HAVE INJURIES.

AREN'T THEY PLAYING NEXT SUNDAY?

GREED DOES NOT BECOME YOU, SERGEANT.

HUNTER AND McCALL.

AH. GREAT.

CHAVEZ, WHAT ARE YOU DOING... PROPOSING MARRIAGE?

AHEM. YES, SIR.

GET IN HERE. CLOSE THE DOOR AND SIT DOWN.

I SUPPOSE YOU FOUND IT ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY

TO SUBDUE A SUSPECT WITH A CHOKE HOLD

IN FRONT OF A BUSLOAD OF TOURISTS.

YEAH, I DID.

THE GUY TOOK A SHOT AT ME IN PUBLIC.

HE COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEBODY.

JUST ADD IT TO THE REST OF HIS CHARGES, CAPTAIN.

HE'S NOT GOING TO FACE ANY CHARGES.

HE MADE A DEAL.

HE'S GOING TO STAY OUT OF JAIL

IF HE GIVES US WARREN HAYWOOD.

STATE SENATOR HAYWOOD?

YEAH.

BACK IN '77, A TWO-BIT PUNK BY THE NAME OF MANNY WEISS

WAS GOING TO FINGER HAYWOOD

IN A JUSTICE DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATION.

SEEMS HE MET WITH A FATAL AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT

THE DAY BEFORE THE HEARING.

FABRO IS GOING TO TESTIFY

THAT HAYWOOD CONTRACTED HIM FOR THE JOB.

AND WHAT HAPPENS TO FABRO?

HE GETS A NEW I.D.,

TAKES A PERMANENT WALK ELSEWHERE

AT THE TAXPAYERS' EXPENSE.

WITNESS PROTECTION PROGRAM, HUH?

WHY NOT?

WHY NOT? THE GUY SPENT HALF HIS LIFE

KILLING PEOPLE, BREAKING ARMS AND LEGS.

THAT'S WHY NOT!

LISTEN, FABRO'S NOTHING.

HE'S A FLY.

I WANT THE GUY WHO HIRES HIM.

IT'S WORTH IT...

TO PUT HAYWOOD AWAY IS WORTH IT,

AND I WANT YOU TWO TO BELIEVE THAT

BECAUSE YOU'RE LOOKING AFTER FABRO

UNTIL WE GET HIM TO A GRAND JURY

AND GET HAYWOOD INDICTED.

HEY, WAIT JUST A SECOND!

LISTEN TO ME, AND LISTEN GOOD.

HAYWOOD CAN'T ALLOW FABRO TO TESTIFY.

HE'LL DO ANYTHING HE CAN TO STOP HIM.

IF HE FINDS HIM, HE'LL KILL HIM.

I'LL SQUIRREL HIM AWAY LIKE HE'S THE CROWN JEWELS.

HE'LL BE GUARDED IN TWO 12-HOUR SHIFTS.

5 PEOPLE WILL KNOW WHERE HE IS...

YOU AND ME AND THE OTHER TWO-MAN TEAM.

NOBODY IS TO KNOW WHERE YOU ARE

OR WHAT YOU'RE DOING THIS WEEK.

NOBODY.

HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO THE GRAND JURY

ALLEGATIONS AGAINST YOU, SENATOR?

NO COMMENT.

DO YOU KNOW GUSTAV FABRO? NO.

DO YOU FEEL THIS WILL AFFECT YOUR CHANCES OF REELECTION?

I'LL BE UP FOR REELECTION IN 3 YEARS.

ASK ME THEN.

IN OTHER WORDS, THE SENATOR AT THIS TIME DOESN'T FEEL THAT...

BEING COOPED UP IN THIS HOTEL ROOM

GUARDING MR. ARMPIT OF 1985...

I COULD REALLY LEARN TO HATE THE CAPTAIN.

YOUR TURN.

IT'S BEEN MY TURN THE LAST 3 TIMES.

GOT TO DO IT TILL YOU GET IT RIGHT.

STEP BACK, FABRO.

I'LL TELL YOU WHEN YOU CAN COME OUT.

HEY! I'M KNOCKING IN THERE!

HOW MANY TIMES I GOT TO RUN THIS DOWN TO YOU?

YOU KNOCK ON THE DOOR, YOU STEP BACK.

I TELL YOU WHEN TO COME THROUGH THE DOOR,

AND UNFORTUNATELY, YOU COME THROUGH IT.

I'M GOING CRAZY IN THERE. I HAD TO TALK TO SOMEBODY.

YOU SEE ANYBODY IN HERE WHO WANTS TO TALK TO YOU?

TRY SLEEPING.

I AIN'T SLEEPY.

TAKE A SLEEPING PILL.

TAKE THE WHOLE BOTTLE.

HOW ABOUT A TAPE MACHINE AND SOME PORNO FLICKS?

BETTER YET, HOW ABOUT A COUPLE OF HOOKERS?

THAT'D PUT ME TO SLEEP. WHAT DO YOU SAY?

YOU KNOW SOME WHARFIES, DON'T YOU, HUNTER?

I MEAN, I'M GETTING SO BAD OFF,

I COULD EVEN GO FOR LITTLE SERGEANT-AT-ARMS.

HOW'S ABOUT IT, BABE?

YOU AND ME PARTY WHILE HUNTER KEEPS...

Hunter: PARTY'S OVER.

GET IN THERE.

I AIN'T AFRAID OF YOU, HUNTER.

I'M A PROTECTED WITNESS, REMEMBER?

YOU TAKE ANOTHER WHACK AT ME

AND YOU CAN KISS YOUR ASS-PIRATIONS GOOD-BYE.

GET IN THERE.

UH. "GET IN THERE."

McCall: YES?

HOW DO YOU SPELL RELIEF?

WELL, HELLO.

AW! HUNTER.

HOW'S IT FEEL FOR A HOT-DOG DICK LIKE YOU

TO BE PULLING GARBAGE DUTY?

I'LL BET YOU FORGOT HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVES.

I DON'T CALL WHAT YOU DO LIVING, CRUSSON.

AW, BE NICE.

BE NICE TO YOU? WHY SHOULD I?

WHY SHOULD I BE NICE TO SCUM LIKE YOU?

WHAT YOU GOT MIGHT BE CATCHING.

YOU GOT NO CALL TO BAD-MOUTH ME.

OH, REALLY? STEP ASIDE.

WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?

BAD COP.

WHAT HAPPENED?

WELL, I.A. COULDN'T PIN ANYTHING ON THE GUY,

BUT THE STREETS WERE MIRACULOUSLY CLEANER

WHEN THEY PULLED HIM OFF OF VICE.

I HATE HIS GUTS.

WHAT DO YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT THE GUY, THOUGH?

SEE YOU AT THE HOTEL.

YUP. ANOTHER EXCITING NIGHT.

WONDER WHAT PAULIE WANTS.

McCall: HI, PAULIE.

WORKING THE POLICE STATION NOW, HUH?

JUST, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO GET BY.

YEAH, RIGHT.

I... I GOT SOMETHING COULD REALLY HELP YOU GUYS.

THIS OUGHT TO BE GOOD.

THERE'S MONEY ON THE STREETS...

HEAVY MONEY, LOOKING FOR INFORMATION,

WHERE YOU GUYS GOT THAT FABRO DUDE STASHED.

YOU KNOW, THE ONE FOR THE GRAND JURY?

FABRO?

I DON'T KNOW. I SAW HIS NAME ON A REPORT.

SORRY, PAULIE. CAN'T HELP YOU.

HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY!

YOU MEAN I DON'T GET NOTHING FOR THIS?

EXTRA MUSHROOM PIZZA?

THAT'S US. WHAT DO WE OWE YOU?

$16.75.

HERE, KEEP IT.

THANKS A LOT. THANK YOU.

STEP BACK, FABRO.

I'M BACK.

GET UP.

FOOD? IT'S ABOUT TIME.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FRIED CHICKEN?

WE DON'T HAVE FRIED CHICKEN.

WHAT WE'VE GOT HERE IS RUSSIAN ROULETTE PIZZA.

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

MUSHROOM PIZZA, BUT ONE SLICE HAS TOADSTOOLS.

2,000 COMEDIANS OUT OF WORK IN THIS TOWN

AND YOU'RE TRYING TO BE FUNNY?

IF I WANT PIZZA, I'LL ORDER PIZZA. YOU GOT IT?

NO, YOU WON'T.

WE ORDER PIZZA, YOU EAT PIZZA!

IN THERE! NOW MOVE!

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

HERE. FINISH THAT.

NO, NO. YOU HAVE IT. I'M TOO FULL.

ME, TOO.

I'LL SAVE IT FOR FABRO.

YEAH. HE COULD USE A FEW POUNDS.

DID I EVER TELL YOU

THAT I COOK A MEAN EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA?

WHAT YOU DO MEAN... YOU COOK? SINCE WHEN?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, SINCE WHEN?

MY MOM'S THE BEST COOK IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE.

I LEARNED EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT COOKING

FROM MY MOTHER.

YOU'RE KIDDING!

NO, I'M NOT KIDDING.

YOU SEE, WE USED TO HAVE THESE FAMILY GET-TOGETHERS

DOWN IN SAN PEDRO, ON THE PENINSULA DOWN THERE...

NEAR THE OCEAN? AND ALL OF OUR RELATIVES,

ALL THE NEIGHBOR FAMILIES WOULD GET TOGETHER,

EVERY FAMILY WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR BRINGING A DISH,

AND WE WOULD SIT THERE AND FEED OUR FACES

LIKE YOU CANNOT BELIEVE.

SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS NICE.

IT WAS. WE'D SIT BACK AND RELAX.

WE'D STUFF OUR FACES. BOY, IT WAS GREAT.

IS THAT HOW YOU GOT SO BIG?

YES, IT IS.

EVERYBODY IN MY FAMILY IS BIG.

HEY, WHAT'S ON TV TOMORROW NIGHT?

DON'T KNOW. SAME THING AS TONIGHT.

JOHNNY CARSON AGAIN, BUT IT'S A REPEAT.

HEY, THERE'S A GENE KELLY MOVIE ON!

GOOD. I LOVE MUSICALS.

OK, GOOD. TOMORROW NIGHT,

WE'LL WATCH GENE KELLY, ME AND YOU,

AND I'LL COOK SOMETHING FOR US, A LA HUNTER.

YOU'RE GOING TO COOK?

YES.

GOOD. FINALLY HAVE SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO HERE.

YES, YOU WILL.

CRUSSON!

YOU ROGAN?

THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU'LL WANT TO BE SURE I'M NOT WIRED,

SO TAKE A LOOK IF YOU LIKE.

MAYBE YOU BETTER CHECK ME FOR A WIRE.

I DON'T NEED TO.

WE GOT THE SAME KIND OF FRIENDS...

JAKE RUSKIN AND HIS COUSIN ARNIE.

THEY GOT NOTHING BUT GOOD THINGS TO SAY ABOUT YOU.

THEY WERE REAL SORRY WHEN YOU LEFT VICE.

NEVER HEARD OF THEM. WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?

YOU KNOW WHY JAKE AND ARNIE LIKE YOU?

BECAUSE THE LAST TIME THEY DID BUSINESS WITH YOU

AND IT WENT BAD, THROUGH NO FAULT OF YOURS,

YOU KEPT YOUR COOL, AND YOU DIDN'T RAT.

AND YOU GOT THE WRONG GUY.

WE CONSIDERED LONGMEYER, BUT HE'S A DRUNK.

HE'S UNRELIABLE. HUNTER'S A FANATIC.

McCALL'S A WOMAN. SHE CAN'T DO IT.

WE EVEN KNOW THE HOTEL.

FABRO'S STASHED AWAY IN THE HOTEL ST. CLAIRE.

I HATE TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH MONEY THAT COST.

YOU KNOW WHERE FABRO IS, WHAT DO YOU NEED ME FOR?

SURE, WE COULD FIRE A GRENADE THROUGH

THE WINDOW OF ROOM 2610 AND BLOW FABRO AWAY,

BUT THAT'S OUT.

MY CLIENT WOULD BE IN JUST A DIFFERENT KIND OF TROUBLE.

NO. WE NEED YOU.

YOU'RE DEPENDABLE. YOU'RE SMART.

WE WANT FABRO TO COMMIT SUICIDE.

I DON'T CARE HOW YOU HANDLE YOUR PARTNER,

BUT IT'S GOT TO LOOK LIKE FABRO GOT DESPONDENT

AND TOOK A LEAP.

HOW MUCH ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?

100,000 UP-FRONT MONEY.

GOOD FAITH.

ANOTHER 200,000 IF YOU BRING IT IN.

IF IT STANDS UP, ANOTHER 200 AS A BONUS...

LET'S SAY, FOR YOUR CONTINUED GOODWILL.

NOW, IF WE'RE IN BUSINESS, YOU TAKE IT... NOW.

WHAT IF I CUT IN LONGMEYER?

WE DON'T ADVISE THAT.

HE'S A DRUNK. HE'S UNRELIABLE.

YOU SHOULDN'T GET HIM INVOLVED.

BE BAD FOR ALL OF US.

HERE WE GO.

NICE AMBIANCE, YES?

THIS IS REALLY NICE.

LET'S CHECK THIS OUT.

THIS IS GOOD!

MM-HMM.

THIS IS REALLY GOOD! I CAN'T BELIEVE

I'VE KNOWN YOU ALL THIS TIME, YOU NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT THIS.

DID... DID YOU REALLY COOK THIS?

COME ON.

HAVE SOME FAITH IN ME, WILL YOU?

IT'S GREAT!

CHEFS DON'T ANSWER DOORS.

YOU'VE EARNED IT.

Fabro: HEY!

STEP BACK, FABRO.

Fabro: I'M BACK.

TA-DA!

YEAH!

HUH? HA HA HA!

HA HA HA HA!

OH, BOY, IS THAT FUNNY, FAB.

THAT'S VERY FUNNY.

YEAH. HA HA!

OH, NO! NO!

HA HA HA!

Woman on telephone: HELLO?

Hunter: HI, MOM. IT'S ME.

RICKY! HOW DID IT GO?

IT WENT FANTASTIC. IT REALLY DID.

SHE LOVED IT.

I KNEW SHE WAS A GOOD GIRL.

YEAH. SHE SURE IS. LOOK, MOM, FOR TOMORROW,

I WANT YOU TO MAKE ME A NEAPOLITAN PIZZA.

CAN YOU DO THAT FOR ME? LEAVE OFF THE PEPPERONI VERDI?

IS THAT ALL RIGHT?

FOR YOU, RICK, NO PEPPERONI.

SAME TIME TOMORROW?

YEAH. SAME TIME TOMORROW MORNING, MOM.

I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.

I'LL TALK TO YOU TOMORROW.

DON'T KID ME, RICK. YOU LOVE MY COOKING.

WELL, THAT'S TRUE, TOO.

BUT I LOVE YOU, TOO. THANKS.

BYE.

BUSTED.

NOW, LOOK, I CAN EXPLAIN THIS TO YOU.

HA HA HA!

WHEN WERE YOU GOING TO EXPLAIN THIS...

AFTER THE PIZZA CAME?

LOOK, FIRST OF ALL, I CAN COOK. BELIEVE ME.

NUMBER TWO IS, WE'VE BEEN IN THIS DUMP FOR 3 OR 4 DAYS.

I JUST WANTED THINGS TO BE PERFECT FOR YOU.

I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.

YOU STILL OWE ME A MEAL.

YES.

COOKED BY YOU. YES.

YOU, NOT YOUR MOM. NO.

YOU GOT IT.

IT'S THE NITWITS. I'LL GET IT.

RISE AND SHINE, SLEEPING BEAUTY.

WELL, YOU TWO GOT IT MADE...

GETTING PAID TO PLAY HOUSE.

WE DIDN'T INTERRUPT ANYTHING, DID WE?

IT TOOK YOU SO LONG TO ANSWER THE DOOR,

I SAID TO RAY MAYBE WE BETTER COME BACK

IN A COUPLE HOURS.

CRUSSON, I DON'T LIKE YOU OR YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR,

SO WHY DON'T YOU SHUT UP?

HEY, LIGHTEN UP, MAN.

GARY DIDN'T MEAN NOTHING BY IT.

HE WAS JUST JOKING AROUND.

NO, HE WASN'T.

WERE YOU?

TOUCHY, HUNTER.

VERY TOUCHY!

RAY?

RAY?

RAY.

Hunter: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

McCall: NOTHING.

ARE YOU OK?

YEAH.

LISTEN, I'VE BEEN WANTING TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT, UH...

YOUR STATE OF MIND EVER SINCE THE RAPE,

BUT I HAVEN'T HAD THE OPPORTUNITY.

IS EVERYTHING OK WITH YOU?

YEAH. I'M OK.

IT'S NOT THAT.

I'M JUST GOING TO MISS THIS LOUSY JOB.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?

NO.

I MEAN, YOU'RE GOING TO MISS THIS...

4 DAYS IN A MOTEL BABY-SITTING SOME MANIAC?

COME ON. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

YEAH, I'M GOING TO MISS THIS.

I'M GOING TO MISS ALL OF IT.

CAN'T BE A COP FOREVER.

I MEAN, MY, UH...

BIOLOGICAL CLOCK IS TICKING, YOU KNOW,

AND ONE OF THESE DAYS I'M GOING TO HAVE TO STOP

BEING A COP SO THAT I CAN START HAVING CHILDREN.

JUST MAKES ME KIND OF SAD.

TO HAVE TO LEAVE SOMETHING THAT I LIKE SO MUCH.

I'M GOING TO MISS IT.

I'M GOING TO MISS YOU, TOO.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITHOUT ME, HUH?

I DON'T KNOW,

BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE ANYTHING UP.

OH, YEAH, I DO.

BEING A COP IS HARDLY CONDUCIVE

TO HAVING CHILDREN AND A HUSBAND.

YOU KNOW THAT.

I DO WANT A FAMILY.

IT'S SOMETHING I HAVE TO HAVE ONE DAY.

AND HE WON'T BE A COP.

BOY, I TRIED THAT ONCE.

HIS DEATH WAS SO SENSELESS.

THAT'S JUST SOMETHING I... I...

I COULDN'T HANDLE AGAIN.

WHAT STEVE AND I HAD WAS...

OH, IT WAS SO GOOD!

IT WAS SO SPECIAL.

A SETUP.

YOU STAY WITH FABRO. I'LL GO CHECK IT OUT.

AAH! AAH!

YOU CAN'T DO THAT IN FRONT OF PEOPLE!

DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?

HEY, BUDDY, COOL DOWN. POLICE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN A HOTEL, HUH?

THIS IS A PERSONAL MATTER.

I DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING BY IT.

HEY, WHO ASKED YOU TO BUTT IN?

WE'RE JUST HAVING A DOMESTIC SQUABBLE.

YOU SCREAMED FOR HELP, LADY.

YEAH, WELL, MAYBE I OVERREACTED.

AIN'T NO REASON FOR YOU TO HASSLE US.

GUESS THAT MEANS YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PRESS CHARGES.

WHAT CHARGES?

WE'LL GO RIGHT INTO OUR ROOM, AND WE'LL BE REAL QUIET.

ALL RIGHT?

WHEN YOU NEED THEM, THEY'RE NEVER THERE.

JUST REMEMBER WHO SAVED YOUR SAUSAGE, SWEETCAKES.

AFTER YOU, BABY.

Man on telephone: ALEXANDER HERE.

HI. IT'S McCALL. I JUST BROKE UP

A LITTLE 10-ROUNDER IN THE HALL

OVER HERE AT THE HOTEL.

WHERE WAS YOUR PARTNER, McCALL?

HE WAS BABY-SITTING.

I WANT YOU TO FIND OUT WHO IT IS

THAT'S REGISTERED IN ROOM 2624

AND GIVE IT BACK TO ME A LITTLE LATER.

JUST FOR MY PEACE OF MIND. OK?

WE'LL CHECK IT OUT.

THANKS. WE'LL BE EN ROUTE.

Man on TV: OH, THERE YOU ARE.

THE USUAL CRAP.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

WHAT?

IT'S EMPTY.

YOU PROBABLY KILLED IT LAST NIGHT.

OH, NO, MAN. IT WAS HALF FULL.

THEN THE MAID WAS PRETTY THIRSTY.

THAT'S NOT FUNNY.

RAY, SIT DOWN, WILL YOU?

YEAH. ALL RIGHT.

YOU GOT THE SHAKES.

THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT?

YOU'RE ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT QUITTING DRINKING,

AND YOU NEVER DO. YOU GOTTA GET SOME HELP.

I GOT TO GET A DRINK.

THE A.A. OR SOMETHING. LOOK AT YOURSELF.

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY, MAN... I'M SICK?

ALL RIGHT, I'M SICK!

YOU GOT IT BAD.

YEAH, I KNOW. I'M IN GREAT SHAPE.

ALL RIGHT, RAY. YOU WANT A DRINK?

GO GET A DRINK. I'LL COVER FOR YOU.

BUT THIS IS THE LAST TIME, THE VERY LAST TIME.

THEN YOU GOT TO GET SOME HELP.

THANKS, MAN. REALLY.

I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

ALL RIGHT. THANKS.

Crusson: FABRO.

FABRO.

YEAH? WHAT'S GOING ON?

OH, NOTHING.

I WAS JUST CHECKING ON YOU.

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?

YEAH.

HAYWOOD JUST WANTED TO SAY HELLO.

Longmeyer: YEAH?

WHAT?

IF THIS IS SOME KIND OF JOKE, IT'S NOT FUNNY.

YEAH. WAIT A MINUTE.

FABRO! FABRO!

HE'S GONE.

I GUESS EVEN FABRO HAD A CONSCIENCE.

HE JUMPED OUT?

EITHER THAT OR HUNTER TOSSED HIM.

LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.

I'M BEING SUSPENDED FROM DUTY WITHOUT PAY,

PENDING AN INVESTIGATION FROM I.A. IS THIS CORRECT?

THAT'S RIGHT, HUNTER.

LIEUTENANT TERWILLIGER HAS BEEN ASSIGNED TO LOOK INTO IT.

OH, BRING BACK MY HEAD, HUH, BERNIE?

BELIEVE ME, I GOT NOTHING AGAINST YOU PERSONALLY.

YEAH, RIGHT!

LOOK, YOU WERE ALONE WITH THE GUY FOR 2 TO 3 MINUTES,

SO AN INVESTIGATION IS OBLIGATORY.

NOW, ANYTHING ELSE?

YEAH, THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE.

WHY AM I THE SCAPEGOAT HERE?

WHY HAVE I BEEN SINGLED OUT FOR SUSPENSION?

BECAUSE YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE ON DUTY ALONE WITH FABRO

LONG ENOUGH TO TOSS HIM OUT THE WINDOW.

I'VE ALREADY GONE OVER THIS WITH YOU GUYS ABOUT 10 TIMES.

I'LL DO IT ONE MORE TIME FOR YOU.

I WAS STANDING IN THE DOORWAY OF THE HALLWAY

WHILE McCALL DEALT WITH THOSE TWO PEOPLE.

UNFORTUNATELY, McCALL'S STATEMENT

DOESN'T CONFIRM THAT.

THEN WHY DON'T YOU BOOK ME AND TAKE ME IN TO COUNTY JAIL?

BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT FABRO TOOK THE JUMP ON HIS OWN,

BUT CENTRAL HEADQUARTERS HAS ORDERED YOU SUSPENDED

WHILE AN INVESTIGATION IS UNDER WAY.

GOOD. IN THE MEANTIME,

I SIT AROUND AND DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. CORRECT?

THAT'S RIGHT.

STAY THE HELL OUT OF IT UNTIL IT'S HISTORY.

AS OF NOW, YOU'RE SUSPENDED.

IF YOU PULL ANYTHING, I WILL HAVE YOU ARRESTED.

YEAH.

YOU GUYS ARE NUTS.

I WANTED TO SAY I'M SORRY.

I'M SORRY ABOUT THE OTHER NIGHT.

IF I COULD DO ANYTHING TO CHANGE IT, I WOULD.

HEY, LISTEN, YOU DON'T HAVE TO APOLOGIZE.

YOU NEEDED A SHOULDER TO LEAN ON.

I'M JUST KIND OF FLATTERED THAT YOU CHOSE MINE.

OH... NO, RICK, THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT.

OH.

THAT WAS...

THAT WAS JUST SOMETHING IN MY LIFE

I NEEDED TO TALK THROUGH,

AND I NEEDED TO DO IT WITH SOMEBODY THAT I LIKED

AND I KNEW I COULD TRUST.

I MEANT ABOUT NOT COVERING FOR YOU.

I SHOULD HAVE SAID THAT I SAW YOU STANDING IN THE DOORWAY,

THAT I SAW YOU THERE THE WHOLE TIME.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIE.

THERE'S NO NEED FOR YOU TO LIE.

WOULD'VE SAVED YOU FROM GETTING SUSPENDED.

COME ON. YOU TOLD THE TRUTH.

Hunter: HEY, RAYMOND.

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

WELL, NOT A WHOLE LOT.

HEY, CAN YOU GIVE ME A LIFT?

MY CAR CRAPPED OUT ON ME.

YEAH. OK.

SORRY ABOUT YOUR SHIELD BEING PULLED, HUNTER.

IT'S A ROTTEN DEAL.

THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO BURN YOU

BECAUSE THEY LOST THE GUY.

IS THAT WHAT'S GOING ON, RAY?

NOBODY THINKS THAT YOU HAD THING ONE TO DO WITH IT.

YEAH? WELL, WHO DID, THEN?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

SACK OF SCUM TOOK A HEADER, DIDN'T HE?

OH, COME ON!

HE DIDN'T TAKE A HEADER. THAT WAS NO SUICIDE.

HE WAS MURDERED, AND YOU KNOW IT.

WHAT IS WITH YOU?

PULL OVER!

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?

I WANT THE TRUTH.

THE CORONER SAYS THE TIME OF DEATH

WAS 12 MIDNIGHT, PLUS OR MINUS A COUPLE OF HOURS.

THAT MAKES IT JUST BEFORE WE LEFT OR AFTER YOU CAME ON.

I DIDN'T DO IT, AND NEITHER DID McCALL.

THAT LEAVES YOU AND CRUSSON.

HUNTER, I SWEAR, WE NEVER TOUCHED FABRO.

IT WAS YOU OR CRUSSON!

HUNTER, YOU'RE CRAZY!

YEAH? DID YOU LEAVE HIM ALONE THAT NIGHT?

NO.

NOT JUST FOR A LITTLE WHILE?

WHILE YOU WENT OUTSIDE TO GET YOURSELF A BOTTLE?

NO. NO.

YOU'RE A LIAR, YOU KNOW THAT?

YOU WENT OUT FOR A BOTTLE, DIDN'T YOU?

AND I'M GOING TO PROVE IT.

YEAH?

Crusson: IT'S ME.

COME IN.

RAY, WHAT IS THIS? SOME KIND OF JOKE?

I TALKED TO HUNTER. HE DIDN'T DO IT.

SO?

SO WHAT'S THE GUN FOR?

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?

ANYBODY FINDS OUT I LEFT THAT ROOM,

THAT MAKES YOU A SUSPECT, TOO.

THE GUY TOOK A SWAN DIVE, AND YOU'RE POINTING A GUN AT ME?

HUNTER KNOWS!

AND HE'S GOING TO PROVE IT.

HE'S GOING TO FIND SOMEBODY THAT SEEN ME.

I WASN'T EXACTLY HIDING.

YEAH? WELL, WE DON'T LET HIM DO THAT.

WE CAN'T LET HIM DO THAT, RAY.

THEY'LL BUST YOU. THEY'LL TAKE YOUR PENSION.

WE GOT TO DO SOMETHING.

HOW MUCH DID YOU GET PAID TO TOSS HIM, GARY?

HEY, YOU KNOCK IT OFF.

I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU OUT HERE.

I'LL SWEAR YOU NEVER LEFT THAT ROOM.

RAY!

COME ON, RAY.

COME ON.

LET'S HAVE A DRINK,

FIGURE OUT HOW TO SAVE YOUR BUTT, ALL RIGHT?

WE GOT CASES COMING OUT OF THE WOODWORK,

SO SEE IF YOU CAN MAKE UP FOR LOST TIME.

YOU DON'T SEEM ALL THAT APPRECIATIVE

OF BEING BACK ON DUTY, HUNTER.

APPRECIATIVE, BERNIE?

NO. YOU SEE, I ALWAYS KNEW I DIDN'T DO IT.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

WE HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING THAT.

NOBODY'S HAPPY ABOUT THIS.

IT REFLECTS BADLY ON THE WHOLE DEPARTMENT.

DON'T YOU GUYS THINK IT WAS KIND OF NICE OF LONGMEYER

TO LEAVE A TYPEWRITTEN CONFESSION BEFORE HE DROWNED?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, NICE?

NO. YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW.

YEAH.

BUMMER ABOUT THE RAIDERS, HUNTER.

PLUNKETT'S OUT. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?

JUST FOUND $50,000 IN A TRUNK

UNDER LONGMEYER'S HOUSE.

OH, BULL! I'M NOT BUYING THAT.

I TALKED TO LONGMEYER THE DAY HE DIED.

HE DIDN'T DO IT.

GET AWAY FROM ME, HUNTER!

I DON'T BELIEVE THE STORY YOU STAGED.

HUNTER, YOU'RE LOSING IT!

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

YOU HEARD McCALL MAKING THAT REPORT

WHEN WE SWITCHED WATCHES, RIGHT?

THAT'S WHEN YOU DECIDED

TO TAKE THE SENATOR UP ON HIS OFFER.

ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS WAIT FOR

YOUR ALCOHOLIC PARTNER TO GET SOME BOOZE. HUH?

WRONG! I WENT OUT FOR THE BOOZE.

I ADMITTED IT. I'M ON SUSPENSION.

AND LONGMEYER TOSSED FABRO? GIVE ME A BREAK!

WHERE'D HE GET THE 50 GRAND, OR DIDN'T YOU HEAR ABOUT THAT?

HE GOT IT FROM YOU.

TOSSING FABRO MUST HAVE MADE YOU A WEALTHY MAN.

Hunter: I GUARANTEE YOU

THAT SCUZZBALL LEFT A TRAIL SOMEWHERE.

LET'S JUST HIT EVERY PLACE THAT SELLS LIQUOR

WITHIN TWO BLOCKS OF THAT HOTEL.

WE DON'T NEED TO CHECK EVERY ONE...

JUST THE ONES THAT STAY OPEN AFTER MIDNIGHT.

FIND OUT ANYTHING?

NO.

THERE OUGHT TO BE SOME KIND OF PHONE NUMBER YOU CAN CALL,

LIKE DIAL-A-SQUEAL OR SOMETHING, YOU KNOW?

HA HA HA!

LIGHTEN UP, HUNTER. IT'S JUST A JOKE.

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE. THAT'S NOT SUCH A BAD IDEA.

OK. THERE THEY ARE.

JUST DON'T SAY I NEVER HELPED YOU.

I'D NEVER SAY THAT, WILLIE. THANKS.

MANDY TOPAZ?

DID I WIN SOMETHING?

YEAH... ME. LET'S GO.

HAVE A SEAT.

THERE WE GO.

I UNDERSTAND YOU GOT CAUGHT

WITH A FISTFUL OF SOME GUY'S CREDIT CARDS

AFTER YOU ROLLED HIM.

TELL ME SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW.

WELL, YOU COULD USE SOMEBODY ON YOUR SIDE.

LIKE WHO?

WELL, IT'S FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU KNOW! DEE DEE McCALL.

YOU KNOW, WE GOT TO STOP MEETING LIKE THIS.

WHAT DID YOU HAVE IN MIND?

A MATINEE?

DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH.

BEEN DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN.

RESEARCH?

LOOKS LIKE THERE'S THIS HOOKER

WHO WORKS OUT OF THE ST. CLAIRE A LOT.

HER NAME'S MANDY TOPAZ,

SHE SWEARS THERE WAS A MAN WITH HER ON THE ELEVATOR

THE NIGHT FABRO DECIDED TO GO SKYDIVING,

AND GUESS WHAT? LOOKED JUST LIKE LONGMEYER.

IT WAS 2 A.M., HE HAD A PAPER BAG,

AND HE GOT OFF ON THE 26th FLOOR.

SHE KNOWS THAT BECAUSE SHE WAS ON HER WAY

UP TO THE 27th FLOOR FOR... FOR A DATE.

THAT'S REAL FASCINATING.

WHY DON'T YOU TELL HUNTER? HE'D EAT IT UP.

TIME TO SHARE THE WEALTH, GARY.

YOU CUT ME IN FOR A PIECE OF YOUR ACTION,

THE HOOKER STAYS JUST BETWEEN YOU AND ME.

HUNTER WILL NEVER HAVE TO KNOW ABOUT IT.

YOU THINK I JUST FELL OFF THE CABBAGE TRUCK?

YOU LAY ALL THIS SQUAT ON ME...

AM I SUPPOSED TO PULL OUT A PEN AND WRITE A CHECK?

WHERE'S THE WIRE?

GO AHEAD. TAKE A LOOK.

I'D LIKE A STRIP SEARCH.

YEAH. I KNOW YOU WOULD.

JUST REMEMBER SOMETHING.

WHEN YOU READ THAT GIRL'S REPORT,

YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST, BUDDY.

RIGHT. NICE TRY.

GOOD-BYE, HUNTER, WHEREVER YOU ARE!

Tape: GOOD-BYE, HUNTER, WHEREVER YOU ARE!

WELL, IT WAS A GOOD TRY.

YEAH, IT WAS.

HEY, I WAS THERE. HE DIDN'T GO FOR IT.

WELL, SURE HE DID. CAN'T AFFORD NOT TO.

WHERE YOU FROM?

I'M, UH, FROM OUT OF TOWN.

IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU NEED, JUST ASK FOR BOBBY.

OH, BOBBY?

UH...

CAN YOU GET ME A HOOKER?

WHAT KIND YOU LOOKING FOR... BLONDE, REDHEAD, BLACK?

MY FRIEND TOLD ME ABOUT A GIRL NAMED MANDY TOPAZ.

MANDY TOPAZ...

YEAH. SAID SHE WAS REALLY TERRIFIC.

SORRY. NEVER HEARD OF HER.

WELL, MAYBE, BOBBY, IF YOU, UH...

COULD CHECK AROUND WITH THE OTHER HOTELS.

HE WAS AT THE ST. CLAIRE.

YES, SIR.

IT'S OPEN.

SOMEBODY HERE GOT A DATE WITH MANDY?

YES, I DO.

HOW ABOUT A DRINK, SWEETHEART?

WELL, BUSINESS BEFORE PLEASURE.

STRAIGHT SEX IS 50,

AND FOR 100, YOU CAN GET ABOUT JUST ANYTHING YOU WANT.

YOU A POLICE OFFICER?

YOU ARE, AREN'T YOU?

YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE I GOT THIS BUILT-IN METAL DETECTOR,

AND IT GOES OFF WHENEVER I SMELL COPPER.

VICE SCORES AGAIN.

WHAT YOU WANT TO DO NOW... KNOCK OFF A FREEBIE?

NAH.

I WANT TO KNOW IF YOU RECOGNIZE THIS MAN.

WHAT? AGAIN? COME ON!

I ALREADY WENT THROUGH THIS WITH SOME LADY COP.

THAT'S THE GUY IN THE HOTEL ST. CLAIRE.

RODE UP TO THE 26th WITH ME.

WHEN?

LAST WEDNESDAY...

ABOUT, UM, 1:30 OR 2:00 IN THE MORNING.

DID YOU TELL THIS TO THE OTHER OFFICER?

YEAH, RIGHT.

HEY, WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT, ANYWAY?

NEVER MIND. I DON'T WANT TO KNOW.

HEY, LISTEN! I TOLD YOU WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW!

I JUST GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE, OK?

STOP! HELP! HELP!

HURRY! HELP!

WHAT IS THIS? WHAT IS IT?!

NO! AAH! NOTHING!

STOP!

OH, MY GOD! DON'T LET GO!

I DID IT.

OH, GOD HELP ME! I'M FALLING.

I'M LOSING MY GRIP. HE'S TOO HEAVY.

I DON'T THINK I CAN HOLD ON MUCH LONGER.

HELP ME TIE THIS TO THE BED. HURRY UP!

OH, MY GOD! I'M GOING TO DIE!

MY FINGERS ARE GETTING NUMB. I CAN'T HOLD ON MUCH LONGER.

Crusson: GOD HELP ME! I'M GOING TO DIE!

WHO PUSHED FABRO OUT THE WINDOW?

I DID IT! I DID IT!

WHO PAID YOU TO DO IT?

HAYWOOD. HE GAVE ME 500 GRAND.

DID YOU KILL RAY LONGMEYER?

YES. YES! YES!

I GOT IT!

SO WHAT ARE YOU DOING TONIGHT?

SAME OLD, SAME OLD.

DINNER AT THE WHITE HOUSE, THEN THE OPERA.

WANT TO HAVE DINNER WITH ME INSTEAD?

ONLY NO OPERA.

REALLY?

YEAH. CALL RONNIE AND NANCY AND CANCEL OUT.

DINNER IT IS.

GREAT. SO WHAT DO YOU FEEL LIKE?

I DON'T KNOW. WHAT DO YOU FEEL LIKE?

I FEEL LIKE...

EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA A LA HUNTER.

WAIT A MINUTE, NOW.

NO, NO, NO. YOU OWE ME. IT'S PAY-UP TIME.

YOU'RE DOING SOME HEAVY COOKING TONIGHT, BIG GUY.

GO TO THE MARKET, PICK UP EVERYTHING YOU NEED,

AND WE'LL JUST SPLIT THE BILL.

WELL... PARMESAN IS OUT OF SEASON.

PARMESAN IS NOT OUT OF... YOU'RE JUST SAYING THAT

SO YOU CAN BRING IN YOUR MOTHER AGAIN.

NO WAY! UH-UH!

YOU ARE GOING TO DO THE COOKING YOURSELF.

IT'S PAY-UP TIME, OR IT'S SHUT-UP TIME.

GO GET A LITTLE WINE.

I'LL SIT BACK, RELAX, PUT MY FEET UP,

WATCH YOU DO ALL THE COOKING.

IT'S A VERY LOW THING YOU'RE DOING HERE.

YOU KNOW THAT, DON'T YOU?

FORCING ME INTO A CONFESSION.

YOU DON'T COOK, RIGHT?

YEAH. THAT'S RIGHT. I DON'T COOK.

BUT I CAN BOIL TOAST.

GOOD-NIGHT, HUNTER, WHEREVER YOU ARE.
