Narrator:. In the criminal justice
system, the people are represented

by two separate yet
equally important groups-

the police
who investigate crime,

and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

I want the Caddy.

I ' m happy with the velour,
not even leather.

I'm happy.

What do I
end up with?

A damn Asian ant-box.

Must have
forgot their keys.

Hold it,
we got a vic.

Cop 2: Watch it,
Eddie, he's got a gun!

Cop 2: Eddie, forget the
kid! This guy's checking out.

Since when's a ham
sandwich $2. 75, Jesus?

Since
last Friday.

I didn't know
ptomaine had gone up.

we don't use
none of that.

It's all homemade.

what?

we got a 10-20.
Could be a homicide.

Vic conscious?

Nope. Ambulance
is on the way.

Around
the potholes, eh?

Suit's just back
from the cleaners.

Odds?

Medic: 50-50, but I'm an optimist.

Detective:
I've seen this guy.

Hochmeyer!

Any ID?

He took his wallet,
but we ran the car.

who owns the Benz?
Eddie, come on.

It's registered to Charles
Halsey in Kew Gardens.

Oh, that's great.
That's just terrific.

You know the guy?

Councilman Halsey?
Ring a bell?

The dirtbag who's
always mouthing off

about the streets
being unsafe?

I hate
media cases.

They try to get
close to you,

looking for anything they
can get 500 words out of you.

99% of them don't care about
you, the case, or who they hurt.

They just want
to sell papers.

If you talk to them, they
start calling you at the office,

tying up the lines. If
you don't talk to them,

they start writing about how
"the police are stymied. "

Then the calls come in
from the brass downtown.

You can't smoke in
here. It's not lit.

Not bad, Max. A prophet
in your own time.

Man:... it was big
news to you people.

Then you got tired
of hearing the truth.

Sure, you were
at his press conferences,

but he was just
exercising his lungs.

Now do you understand what
Chuck Halsey was screaming about?

Our streets aren't safe
for anyone.

You can check with our
office on Chuck's condition.

we'll have regular
medical updates.

Thank you, ladies
and gentlemen.

Do you have any idea what your
husband was doing in that neighborhood?

Excuse me. Reporter:. Okay, got it.

Dr. Goldman, you have
a visitor in your office...

He made it through surgery.
That's half the battle.

we'll call immediately
if anything changes.

Thank you,
Doctor.

who are you?

I'm Detective Logan,
this is Detective Greevey.

I'm sorry about
your husband, ma'am.

You're the investigating
officers?

Max: Mm-hmm. we heard
it was two black kids.

You have anything else? Not yet.

Could you give me a description
of his personal items, ma'am?

He always
carried...

a brown alligator
wallet,

and he had
a star sapphire ring

and...

a gold
and diamond Rolex.

And he always had
about $500 cash.

Your husband have
any enemies?

Man: Chuck Halsey is
one of the most respected

and liked men
in this district.

I'm sure he is.
Ma'am?

what are you asking? I
thought you knew who did it.

Logan: Two black kids were there,

but they didn't drive
him to that location.

Do you have any idea what
he was doing out there?

Chuck had
a political dinner.

I was there.
It ended around 10:30.

Logan: Did he leave
alone? I have no idea.

You going to be able
to catch these...

kids?

I'm not going to lie
- it'll take a break or a miracle.

what kind
of miracle?

One of them walking in
and confessing might help.

we have to get back
to the precinct garage.

we'll try to get your car to
you as soon as possible, ma'am.

Thank you,
Detective.

It's okay...
it's okay.

That was smart.

There's no sense in her
having any illusions.

Right- Conti got a real charge
out of your sense of humor.

Yeah...?

Are you trying to tell me
this thing plays straight?

Let's check
Halsey's car.

what was he doing there
after a political dinner?

Let's check
the car.

whoa, wait a minute.
wait a minute.

what have you got?

Old rumors.

That's great.
what kind?

Rumor was, he ran the pad
in the criminal courts.

He's a bagman?

Was...

if you believe
the rumors.

This really frosts
my cookies, Max.

You mind telling me
why you didn't tell me?

Because you're already

leaping to conclusions,
for Pete's sakes.

About the only probable
conclusion we can draw

is that the black kids
took whatever they found.

Let's check the car.

60 bucks
for a damn key.

Could've popped the thing
for nothing.

The car belongs
to a councilman.

Is that real?

How much?

12 and up.

Must be crazy
about his old lady.

I don't want to tell her,
but what else can we do?

But Halsey could still
pull through, right?

Eight to five-
against.

The surgeon says
it's in God's hands.

Cragen: That must be comforting.

well?

The guy wakes up, and the coat
wasn't for the wife,

and we've told her.

Thanks for your help,
Captain.

Keep in touch.

Since when does that mean
we don't go?

Officer:. Hey, Max? Yeah?

Jacobson,
down at the Trib.

I'm out.

No labels.

Maggie's got a friend.
works for a furrier.

Profaci: Did you catch
the Halsey mugging?

- Yeah.
- Give Perez a call at Narco.

Perez? The one
that doesn't shave?

Yeah.

we take down
the crack house

and roll up this scumball
dealer, Rodriguez,

with half a dozen
customers.

Rodriguez is on probation and
knows he's going back for a deuce,

so he gives us this kid
who he says

came in with a wad
that he had taken off

some white dude
in a Mercedes.

I got in here,

I read the APB,
and boom-

called upstairs.

Logan: Monster case of the "yips. "

Max: He's good for
nothing till he comes down.

Logan: I'm going to have him singing
the name game in five minutes.

what?
20?

Rodriguez would rat out
his own mama.

Junkie gimp
don't know nothing!

And you ain't got squat on me
except for what he said.

And that's just heresy.

The word's "hearsay,"
Simonize.

Yeah, that's it.
And I be good for "no say. "

Logan:
Hey- shut up.

we don't dig
being dissed by lightweights.

Mike, he's not being
disrespectful.

He's just being
reflective.

Logan: what are you
looking at? Turn around.

Eight arrests
and he still doesn't get it?

Hey-

judges help those
who help themselves.

Going...

I'm not talking about
a year at Spofford.

Going...

Don't be stupid.
Gone.

Back to your cage,
Simonize.

Get up.

Simonize,
what a surprise.

You getting some career
counseling from Greevey?

I ain't done nothing.
Such a polite young man.

Of course you haven't. we always
arrest innocent people, huh?

who's this jerk
hang with?

How's Tremaine these
days? I ain't seen him.

It's amazing how you
homeboys are always apart.

Tremaine Lewis-
I got his address upstairs.

Simonize lives
with his grandmother.

Grandmother?

You the man?

we sure are, honey.

woman:
Who is it?

Max:
Police, Mrs. Jackson.

You sure this paper says
you can do that

even when
he ain't here?

Yes, ma'am.

That's a search warrant
signed by a judge.

Mrs. Jackson:
First time the police

ever brought up
a search warrant.

Simon done something
real bad this time, huh?

Yes, ma'am...

it looks that way.

Lots of noise.

Plenty of warning.

Tremaine Lewis- NYPD!

Max:
Drop the gun, Tremaine!

Max:
Give it up!

Max: Look at me when
I'm talking to you!

If the councilman
croaks,

you guys move up
to the bigs- murder two.

we're telling you the truth.
we didn't do nothing to him.

You guys
willing to swear

you two were together
the whole night?

You got that right.

You knowwhat we found
in Simonize's apartment?

I ain't never
seen that.

Simonize, you holding
out on your main man?

That is the vic's watch.

Anybody want
to make a deal?

You didn't plead
these guys, did you?

we're still
talking.

Stop.

The councilman?

Nowwait
a damn minute!

He's saying
the dude croaked?

I'm saying,
you blew it.

Look, he was already cut
when we got there.

we took him off, but we
didn't do nothing to him.

He started to choke. He was
just lying there bleeding.

It was that white cat
in the Benz.

He got out as soon as
the truck pulled off.

what truck?

I've been thinking
about yesterday.

That was great. I thought
Halsey had croaked.

Max: Tony Hallowell? Yeah?

I'm Detective Greevey,
this is Detective Logan.

Is there a problem?

Dispatcher said you made a
late delivery on Tuesday night.

Uh-huh.

Max: Anybody else
here when you arrived?

Just the night man.
He was inside.

Outside?

Yeah.

There were a couple of
cars parked right there.

A gray Mercedes
and a red Jag XJS.

Hey, that's
very observant, Tony.

I like cars. See anything else?

Yeah, when I drove in,

there were two guys
at the rear of the Jag.

Trunk pops open,
guy reaches in,

pulls out a fur coat and
hands it to the other guy.

Could you identify
them? Yeah, sure.

Then what happened?

The other guy opens the
trunk of the Mercedes,

puts it in there, they both
climb into the Mercedes,

and I go inside.

Thanks. You've been very helpful.

Sure.

I didn't know you hung
with the carriage trade.

Hello
to you, too.

Max.
Maggie.

Second floor.

Talk to her boss. She thinks
he'll know who made it.

So is this good
for a dinner?

That depends on what
dinner's good for.

Oh... Let's put it this way-

you don't have a chance
in hell without it.

Very cold, Maggie.
So light my fire.

Then among lynx, there are as many
variations as there are among people.

So is this coat "Meryl
Streep" or "whoopi Goldberg"?

More the latter than
the former, I'm afraid.

Canadian farm grown,
male pelt- basic coat,

not a designer's. Flash,
but basically trash.

would you mind if we cut
to the chase, Mr. Farber?

Oh
- there are three furriers who do this type of garbage goods.

Your best bet
is Kornbluth on 22nd.

Man: They're Russians, usually.

Don't give them a dime
until you have the pelts.

what?

Are you
Kornbluth?

There hasn't been
a Kornbluth here since 1957.

I'm Swersky.
what do you want?

where's
the owner?

what is this,
"20 questions"?

I'm Detective
Logan...

and this is
Detective Greevey.

Now, is this
your coat?

Possible- it looks
like one of mine...

but I don't know
every coat.

Now you're starting
to tick me off, Mr. Swersky.

why is it I think Mr.
Swersky recognized that coat

the minute
it walked in the door?

You want to tell me
what you want?

No.

who bought
the coat?

It was a gift.

what kind of car
do you drive?

A Cadillac
Coupe de Ville.

Why?

who was the gift for?

You know,
I really think

maybe I should give
my attorney a call now.

Absolutely.

Max:
Feel free.

Maybe I should give Gaffner
a call down at the firehouse.

Aren't some of those pelts
covering fire sprinklers?

And call Ulasewicz at
the Buildings Department.

I saw a lot
of violations.

Tony Scalisi.

where do I know
that name?

Masucci family.

If he finds out
I told you...

why'd he want
the coat?

what am I,
"Carnac"?

Trucker give you a positive
ID? Right from the picture.

Logan: So did Lewis and Jackson.

Read the rap sheet. Mr.
Scalisi likes to slice and dice.

And guess who leases
a red Jaguar XJS?

Halsey regained
consciousness?

Doctors aren't
very optimistic.

Captain, why don't we wait to
see if Halsey buys the farm?

Murder's
a better collar.

Captain: I'm getting
my butt barbecued!

Borough president called
for a task force.

He wants to take it away from us.

Deputy Commander Jefferson
calls twice a day.

what's he want?

He doesn't want me
to forget this is

a politically
sensitive case.

I don't want to wait.
Get a warrant.

Go on.

Yes, sir.

which "night school Clarence
Darrow" is handling this?

Name's
Robinette.

20 says
he won't file.

These defensive bets
are going to kill you.

Counsel:
And then what happened?

After that,
picks up the baby,

and he starts
shaking her,

and her head just
starts flopping...

Counsel: Is that
when you called 911?

Counsel #2:
If it was self-defense,

how come you shot him
in the back?

Robinette?

Robinette:
Er... Logan?

Greevey.
He's Logan.

Stone's willing to file,
but it's a reach.

I've sent a lot of guys away
on circumstantial evidence.

Anyway, I think this
is more than that.

what kind of "more"? You
know that Halsey was a bagman?

Stone
mentioned that.

Then mention to Stone that
Deputy Commander Jefferson

has been
nosing around.

Tell him I thought
he'd like to know.

You're new, aren't you? How
long you been with Stone?

Eight months.

Must be a record.

See you
in court.

Must be out.
No answer.

You guys just got
lucky. Here he comes.

I hate pit bulls.

If he drops the leash, shoot
the dog first. Go over there.

Anthony Scalisi...

I have a warrant for
your arrest. Don't move.

what's the charge?

Assault with
a deadly weapon,

and the attempted murder
of Charles Halsey.

"Spuds" moves,
you're history.

Criminal possession
of a weapon in the third degree,

criminal possession of a weapon in the
second degree, assault in the second degree,

assault in the first degree,
attempted murder in the second degree.

Counselor, waive reading
of the rights and charges?

Attorney: So waived. How
does your client plead?

Not guilty.

Judge:
People on bail?

Your Honor,
the defendant has been

convicted
of murder once before,

he is a repeat offender,

he's a soldier
in the Masucci family,

and is considered
a flight risk.

This office requests
that he be held without bail.

Afraid I'm loath
to withhold bail

on all except homicide
cases, Counselor.

$100,000,

cash or bond.

Short date.

I thought Stone
would be here.

At a button man's
arraignment?

Have no fear, Stone's looking
forward to seeing you in court.

what's his
schedule like?

Depends on who's
coming to call.

Come on, Paul, this whole thing's
just one step above a roust.

It's a two-minute
negotiation.

I wouldn't count on it.
Halsey's still touch and go.

Give me a break
- nobody dies of a knife wound a week later.

Predicate violence?

Stone hates pleading
on predicate violence.

Cosmatos.

Call me irresponsible, Eddie,

but I like you.

You're a hell
of a lawyer,

that's why I'm amazed how
incredibly guilty your clients are.

Scalisi is lower
than snake spit.

You want to waste more
of your client's money,

come on down
Thursday.

I'm Eddie Cosmatos...

I can't wait to put this
in front of a jury.

Two black kids are found
with the victim's possessions.

The other eyewitness
puts Scalisi there,

but the only time they saw him
was when he was with Halsey,

who was perfectly fine. So why
does Eddie want to plea his client?

Judicial calendar
doesn't publish until next week.

Scalisi draws Robards
or Kapstein...

He gets 15
to life.

He draws Rosen or Gonzales,
he gets an apology.

So what do 99 defense
lawyers out of 100 do?

wait for the calendar
to come out.

And you only make
5% of what Eddie makes.

what did Greevey mean about
Deputy Commander Jefferson?

Jefferson and I
don't dance.

Guy's a hero.

He's a lying,
two-faced bastard.

wait a minute-

I grew up around
the corner from him.

He coached
my Little League team.

I wouldn't even be a
lawyer if it wasn't for him.

I'm sure his dog
loves him, too.

You know how many black
kids look up to him?

He's one of the highest
ranking black cops ever.

If he's wrong,
he's wrong.

If he's so wrong,
how come nobody knows it?

I know it.

Come on,
let's beat the traffic.

Stone: I used to hear things
about Halsey a long time ago,

but he's had a good reputation
the last 10 years.

Funny thing
about reputations-

Don't start
on that, Paul.

I just think-
You're not thinking.

If Jefferson was white, you
wouldn't doubt a word I'm saying.

Only reason he's still got a
badge is because he's black.

Really? Then why don't you just
tell me what the hell he did?

He perjured himself
as a captain.

Changed his testimony on me.
Somebody bought him. That's one.

Another time he doctored
evidence in a numbers case.

I'm not going
to do this, Paul.

You're either on my team,
or Jefferson's.

Since he never discussed
business with me,

I had no idea he was involved
in illegal activities.

we just had dinner with Deputy
Police Commander Jefferson

and his wife,
for God's sake.

Boy: Mom?

I'm going to head
on over to Gran's.

She's still a little shaky.
I'll be back in an hour.

Okay, son.

Kenneth was going
to Annapolis.

But with what's going
to come out,

he'll never be able to get
a Congressional appointment.

Mr. Halsey never wanted
Mrs. Halsey to be burdened

with unnecessary
business details.

Is there anything else
you'd like to know.

Her coat size?

12-
I wear a 12.

Thank you, Mrs. Halsey.
One more thing-

did you ever hear of somebody
called Anthony Scalisi?

No, I don't recall
that name. why?

He was the man we suspect
attacked your husband.

A black boy
named Scalisi?

Two blacks in custody confessed
to robbing your husband,

but Scalisi was the one
who slashed him.

Do you have any idea why somebody
might want to attack M r. Halsey?

Mrs. Halsey already told you
she didn't know Tony Scalisi.

Mr. wentzel,
we won't take up

any more
of Mrs. Halsey's time,

but why don't you let us
buy you a cup of coffee?

Stone: Mrs. Halsey wears a size 12.

And the coat
is an eight.

who is she, Mr. wentzel?
You can't be serious.

I can't tell you-

You're going to make me very
angry if you finish that sentence.

what is this? we're
talking privacy here.

No, we're talking
obstruction here.

wait a damn second
- No, you wait. This case stinks.

Your friend was a bagman long
before he was a councilman.

Old habits die hard.

I'm going to start
sending out subpoenas.

If I find out you had
knowledge of person or persons

who were involved with your
friend in illegal activity,

I'll have your butt.

Now what's her name,
Mr. wentzel?

Alicia Heslin?

Um... she's
in Sweaters.

Miss Heslin?

Yes?

My name's
Paul Robinette.

I'm from the District
Attorney's office.

Yes?

I'd like to ask you
a few questions.

About what?

Charles Halsey.

Oh...

I've been
expecting you.

Stone: I like the story you
wrote on Congressman MacGruder.

So what
do you want?

Everything you got
on Charles Halsey.

How much do you know
about parking meters?

They all run fast.

And a lot of people who
get tickets don't pay them.

Collecting all that money
for all those unpaid tickets

is a very big headache for the head
of the Parking Violations Bureau.

He has to get a little
"outside help. "

That means
a big contract.

Very big,
very lucrative contract.

who has it?

Interesting little company
called, "Carnegie Collections. "

She's got
"champagne tastes"-

Cartier watch,
alligator shoes.

when she first
heard about it,

she thought he might have
been trying to commit suicide.

why, was he
depressed?

He'd been
subpoenaed-

Federal Grand Jury
on Municipal Corruption.

Oh, and how's
this grab you?

Her apartment lease is made out
to "Carnegie Collections. "

She wear a size eight
coat? Right off the rack.

He tell her
names?

Last month, it was
all he talked about-

who had done what to whom
and how they had done it.

will she testify?

Most of it's
unusable anyway.

"Chuck told me
that Scalisi told him

that Van Damme told him... "
That kind of thing.

She did say he couldn't figure
out how this was happening

since he had "a Deputy Police
Commander in his pocket. "

Man:
I can tell you now

that six days of jury
deliberation did have me worried.

Reporter:. You must be pleased
with the verdict, Deputy Commander.

I am, Chuck,
I truly am.

Our high schools
must be protected

from the drug-dealing scum
trying to poison our children.

Reporter:. Mr. Jefferson
- ? Deputy Commander, can I ask you this?

Do you feel the impact of this
verdict will be felt on the streets?

How deep
does this go?

It's not confined to the Parking
Violations Bureau, that's for sure.

why not? Halsey's been
the bagman for 20 years.

There's police
he's mobbed up,

and according
to a reporter I know,

several other councilmen
and politicians

are stockholders
in Carnegie Collections...

as well as the Deputy Police
Commander, one william Jefferson.

Is this personal? Is that why
you want to bring the feds in?

I'd love to nail
the bastard.

But with him involved, one
surveillance leak, we're dead.

we're secure
with the Bureau doing it.

Let the feds have the ink
on municipal corruption.

They may even help me get a
conspiracy to murder on these bozos.

You never knowwhose pants
are going to get dropped

in a corruption scandal.

Hey, this started
out j as a mugging.

I'll back you,
but don't bring me any names

unless they're
dead-bang guilty.

I want a smoking gun.
I want it in somebody's hand.

Are you telling me tape?
Tape would be a start.

Can I offer Scalisi
immunity?

Nope, it'll look like he's
naming people to save himself.

I wouldn't want you to go out
on a limb here, Alfred.

That's not what I get
the big bucks for.

Yes?

Secretary: Mr. Stone
has an urgent call.

A lawyer
named Cosmatos...?

Somebody wants
to make a deal.

Cosmatos and Scalisi
are in your office.

Call Judge Ichazo.
Get warrants for Halsey,

Scalisi, Jefferson's
phone records,

and talk
to Halsey's doctors.

See when we can
interrogate him.

So while we
steadfastly maintain

that the slashing was done by
the youths seen fleeing the scene,

you never know what'll
happen with the jury,

so we would be willing to
negotiate some sort of an agreement.

Don't do me
any favors.

I'm more than willing
to let the people decide.

Bottom line...

what do you want?

who paid you
to do Halsey?

Look, you want to talk
city corruption?

No deal
without the name.

Pass.

Stone:
What's up?

Hospital
just called-

Charles Halsey died
half an hour ago.

we'll get back
to you.

I haven't even
made an offer.

Trust me, you wouldn't
like the counter.

I can tell you
things.

Are you going to tell me
about parking tickets?

Yours is already punched. we know
all about Carnegie Collections.

I got a lot
of names.

I'll see you
in court.

I'm not talking
G-4's here.

These are your basic
elected officials

and a Deputy Police
Commander.

Don't have him
make me call Security.

Come on, Tony.

There is no way that I'm
going down alone behind this.

what do you want?

want? I want it all. You testify.

Give names, dates,
amounts.

You flush all those
true-blue public officials.

And that
gets me a walk?

Only way you walk
is you say who gave the order.

You know
I can't do that.

No Masucci,
no free lunch.

But the public officials
could lead to a plea

of let's say...
"assault"?

Let's say,
"voluntary manslaughter. "

Say "involuntary. "

Then he wears j a
wire. Are you crazy?

They'll know I've been popped.
They'll smell it.

You let me worry
about that.

what kind of sentencing
recommendation?

Depends on what's
on the tape.

"Tick-tock,"
gentlemen.

write it up.

The guy had arteries
the diameter of capillaries.

with the traumatic loss of
six units of blood, there was

a causative connection between
the assault and the coronary?

Come on, guys, you don't
want to ask me that.

"Causative connection"?
whoa, wait a minute.

Mr. Halsey had a regular
physician, didn't he, Dr. Goldberg?

Yes, he did. And he described
Halsey as being in good health?

Uh-huh. He was alive
a week ago, correct?

As far as I could tell. Somebody
cut his throat with a straight razor-

severing an artery and vocal
cords? And other connective tissue.

And now
Mr. Halsey's dead?

Yes, that's correct.

Thank you, Dr. Goldberg.

It's neat, it's clean. It's
interagency cooperation.

And we may get a
murder-for-hire j conspiracy

while you get another
nail for your RICO.

How did I get
so lucky?

A high-level cop is involved.
I can't run this through the PD.

The DA know about this?
Has his full approval.

we go to trial first.

You want to win your RICO,
go in with one of five counts

having already been proven
in state court.

what do you need?

An FBl surveillance team.

Get me Jackson
at the Bureau.

Let me see
if I've got this.

Halsey's been called
before the grand jury,

big names figure he's going to name
them, give the contract to Scalisi.

But Scalisi screwed up.
The black kids come along.

And we got lucky, they
came up with the ID.

So why are you kicking? I
told you, It's a weak case.

It's all circumstantial, and
they're no choirboys as witnesses.

Spare me the waltz,
all right?

This is all off the record
until after an indictment.

But I get an exclusive
on the arrest?

I can't promise you
that. Sure you can.

You get
an exclusive

on the highest ranking
defendant's arrest site...

will you run it?

"Assistant District Attorney
Benjamin Stone stated

that his office did not feel
that Scalisi's causative role

in Halsey's death could be proven
beyond a reasonable doubt. "

A tad doctrinaire,
but not too bad.

Scalisi comes out
smelling like a rose.

So long as they buy
he held his mud.

Jefferson called me
for a status report.

You told him
about this case?

I had to. He would have been
suspicious if I didn't talk to him.

I gave him the "we had
to let Scalisi walk" rap.

How did he
take it?

He was absolutely
furious.

I'm sure it was
an Oscar performance.

You're certain
he's guilty, right?

I'm not certain,
I'm positive!

You take her through
her testimony?

She's still upset about not
having a lawyer with her.

Did you explain to her
how the grand jury works-

no lawyer unless
you're a defendant-

that we need her testimony
to get a wire-tap?

She understands. She's not
happy about it, but she gets it.

All right.

Stone: Did Charles Halsey
tell you of other officials

who were involved
in this conspiracy

to award the Traffic
Violation Bureau's

collection contract
to Carnegie Collections?

Heslin: He mentioned
people that I knew

as well as people that
I had never heard of.

which people that
you knew personally?

Anthony Scalisi
and william Jefferson.

And did he tell you
the amount of money involved?

He said that there was
over a million dollars

available to pay off
city officials per year.

See who
your client drew?.

No, I haven't
seen the calendar.

"Let-'em-walk"
Falk.

Hey, I didn't want him to plead.
It was his own decision.

Anyway, he got the call. From whom?

Scalisi wants it
to be a surprise.

This isn't
a parlor game, Eddie.

He's worried somebody might not
show up and you'll think he's lying.

where's the meet?

"Cafe Bruxelles. "
when?

Tomorrow night,
8:00.

Bring him to
the Bureau at 6:00.

You know
who's coming?

Mm-hmm.

Bad?

I hope you don't have
any political aspirations.

Just make sure
he's on time.

I'll start with you, take you through
the arrest of Lewis and Jackson.

Let Max do Scalisi.

How did you let
those two kids plead?

Possession of stolen
property, six months.

Are you going to be able to nail
Jefferson for anything worse?

Looks like it.

what goes around,
comes around.

These guys smell anything
hinky, they'll clam up.

Just be cool- you beat the system-
told the cops to "shine it on. "

McCormack: You want to tell
us who's coming to this party?

Didn't anybody
tell him the deal?

whoever comes,
comes.

These guys are gonna hang
themselves, I ain't ratting on them.

But I'll tell you
who ain't coming-

Masucci. There is no
way I give up my boss.

Hold your water,
Tony.

we wouldn't want you
to short yourself out.

Just make sure one of the
principles implicates himself.

Right,
right, right.

Stone: We've gone through
their phone records.

Halsey's talking to Scalisi and Jefferson 10
- 15 times a week.

Conti even called Jefferson when
he was on a police junket to Tokyo.

whoa, whoa, Scalisi and
Halsey, I understand,

But why Jefferson? He's a Deputy
Commander, and police handle traffic-

which includes parking. Agent: Look at that
- do you believe these guys?

Damn, limo's got a New York
City shield on the bumper.

Stone: Bingo. McCormack: Who is it?

Borough President Conti's
in front,

that guy in the middle
is Jefferson,

and the one in the blazer
is Councilman Van Damme.

Ain't politics
great?

I was was worried it would come
up at the mayor's press conference.

The commissioner was
asking about it every day.

This has been a rough
few weeks on all of us.

The DA's decision-
it's extremely gratifying.

I'd like to propose
a toast.

To Tony Scalisi...
Hear, hear.

...who knows how to be
a stand up guy.

It's about as damning as
a Rotary Club meeting. Shh.

...we know that.
Tony...

we don't want
you to think

we're not grateful for
everything you've done.

Scalisi:
Hey, what are friends for?

Maybe we should get you to take care
of that worm, Lasco, too, eh, Tony?

Yeah, half the politicians...
Agent: God Almighty!

Robinette: What's the
problem? It's Greco.

who is he? McCormack: One
of Masucci's mechanics.

He usually eats in the bar. What
do you want to do? Let it play.

Van Damme:... Send you to the
hospital to do some additional surgery.

I thought the jerk
was never going to croak.

Jefferson: These things take time.

Conti: Tony, you know if there's
ever anything you need from us-

Come on... He's probably
going in for dinner-

wait! He's going
to incriminate himself!

we want you
to have this.

wow, sir.

It's nice to know we're all
in the same boat together.

So who contributed?

You really want to know.

Absolutely.

Me, Jefferson,

Van Damme.

we got it! Tell the
agents in the restaurant!

They're not wearing radios. what?!

You can't hide the wires. This
guy's not going to the bar!

Oh, my God!

Freeze, Greco!

Don't say anything!
Not a word!

wait for your lawyer-

Stone: Ladies and
gentlemen of the jury,

in the coming weeks,

you will hear
how an investigation

of what seemed to be
a common mugging

uncovered a conspiracy

at the highest levels
of city government,

a conspiracy that led
to three violent deaths.

You will learn
how these men-

driven by the basest
kind of greed,

violated their
public trust,

and conspired with a
member of organized crime

to murder another
public official.

I ask you to weigh

all the evidence
that is presented.

It is my
responsibility

to show you
their crimes.

It is your
responsibility...

to see that
justice is done.
