Yeah,

Go play some music, all right?

Hey, Hooly!

Ha!

There'll be another one, Hooly, all right?

Yeah, I'll take one through it.

You're huffing and puffing there, kid.

Maybe getting too old for that trick.

You're never too old to take your money, Hooly.

Hope you ain't gonna try to pull out no fires

tonight, baby, because your fire is already out.

Nah, I'm off till Thursday.

Oh, we had a five alarm on Bushwick last night, though.

Jesus, you could have banked enough bread to feed Bombay.

Oh, for Christ's sake, I told him not to put that garbage in there.

Come on, Jimmy, give me a break.

Play some music, will you?

I was to say, the same thing ten years ago when we played

Kiss and the Doors and out of the other room, right?

I was shit, too.

I just got used to it.

Hey, what are you going to do Hooly? Montevone's dead.

Jackie Gleason, don't conduct them more.

They left, Harry laughed.

Only you'd be laughing out of the other side of your ass one day when your kid

brother comes home with a safety pin through his ear and his hair died green.

Yeah.

The other side of his ass.

Yeah, no, don't you hear it out of him.

I just made it up.

Right, he's a good kid.

He can't hold a job, but he's a good kid.

Who can't hold a job?

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, so what happened, huh?

With what?

At the interview?

I went.

Yeah, I don't want the guy he say.

I was overqualified.

He didn't be right, yeah.

What the hell could you be overqualified for?

Neurosurgery.

Yeah?

But not by much, you know?

Yeah.

Well, he's all right?

Yeah.

And, uh, but he didn't say that, uh, uh, he was What do you mean by that, huh?

What do you mean by that?

I mean that...

Hey, anybody here's a man, is you?

What for you?

What for you?

Wait a while.

What's the way?

What's the fire, huh?

Come on, you show me, all right?

What floor?

Okay, there's an alarm box in the corner, all right?

Oh, I'm coming with you!

Jimmy, do what I'm telling you!

I can't be worried about you!

Anybody in here?

Come on, baby, where are you?

Gary, come on, baby.

Whoa,

well, come on, me.

My brother, sir.

We can take care of him.

He can take care of himself, then.

All right.

Chrissie!

Come, boy.

They're not there now.

I've been looking for you.

Okay, it's gonna be okay.

We're gonna find you, Monk.

We're gonna help me up like this, and we're gonna get out of here.

Hey, you're gonna be a beautiful sight, huh?

Hey, we're up here!

Green Owlitz!

Jesus, Christ, he's bleeding from the ears.

Hey, get that ambulance over here.

Bring your cervical collar.

Bring that back, quick!

Terry!

Terry!

Hey, Jimmy, come on, please.

Give me some break, will you?

Look at him.

Watch his neck now.

Watch his neck.

Hold up.

Hold up one.

I got him.

Watch his neck.

I got it.

Why don't you going?

All right.

Let's get that blood out of there first.

You just come on me.

A lot of you can do.

These guys are fighting on a nice uniform.

I want an IV started to add to one million amps and

500 cc's d5w from 50 to 20 or to jump someone's standby.

Dr. Chatsworth, Dr. Beckstein.

Does he have these often?

Sometimes he doesn't even wake up from this, you know?

He's just yelling, he yells and he screams and he's shaking and then I throw cold

water in his face and then it just doesn't shame.

He stays in this state and he, until he wakes up and looks at me like a

little, like a little, like a little, like, like

a little kid, you know, he just looks up at me.

Mm-hmm.

And then he falls back asleep and it starts all over again, you know?

Takes time to recover.

What do you mean, recover?

I mean, it's been six months of this, in and out of hospitals.

What it's doing to him?

It's killing him here.

He's dying, he's dying here.

It's not doing him good.

Get us out!

Get us out!

You can see this one like.

Get us out!

Doctor Woods.

Doctor Wood.

Shh.

It's all right.

Calm down.

It's going to me?

What you're looking at?

He didn't wrap so tight yourself, you know?

What was this you're talking about?

Fuckin' stuff, huh?

Shit.

Hey, Doc Soko.

Give us a little privacy, all right?

I want to talk to my kid brother.

Just pretend I'm not even here.

Oh.

That's not so hard.

I've been taking lessons from your wife.

Ha ha ha.

So, um...

So, um, get any letters from the, uh, pension bureau?

Yeah.

I'll read it for a cry that while.

All right, here it is.

City of New York, a little emblem there.

That's nice.

Just read the letter.

Uh, uh, officer director, deputy mayor.

Yeah, me there.

Jesus.

Dear Mr. Lynch, dear Mr. Lynch, you're very fond of me over there, you know?

Deputy Mayor O'Cardee has, uh, reviewed your case,

and he finds the Bureau's action is appropriate.

Now, there's a surprise, huh?

Firefighters on or off duty must not enter a fire zone.

A fire zone?

While intoxicated.

Your injuries and the possible injuries to the little Ortega girl brought about by

your recklessness while under the influence are a perfect

example of the need for a strict policy in such matters.

Hey, hey, this is nice.

Look, the deputy mayor in such matters, saying,

we're really getting somewhere now, aren't we, huh?

Take his lunch order out of you, right?

I'm going to talk to the mayor.

I'm going to get to the mayor.

I'm gonna talk to them, right?

Talk to the mayor.

Alright, I'll see you less.

I'm gonna find of him, you fruit cake.

Where you're going?

You can't do that.

You just can't go talk to the mayor.

Well, I'll be back later to check you out of this place, right?

No, I don't check myself on.

I got some business to take care of them.

Oh, business, yeah, Scooby Doo.

Do you believe this kid?

Yeah, he's quite a guy.

Yeah, he's quite a guy.

Now, it'd get kind of crowded, wouldn't it?

If everybody just walked in here off the street to see the mayor, now, wouldn't it?

Look, all you gotta do is pick up the phone and tell him there's a guy here that

has 200 letters from every agency in the city.

Look.

Welfare offices, pension offices, workman's comp offices.

I went to the deputy mayor.

I've been to every clerk and jerk in the city, so here I am.

I'm tired of talking to you, kids.

Move it.

Call up the mayor and tell us.

Mr.

Mayor, please make a comment.

Mr. Mayor, Mr. Mayor, Mr. Mayor, Mr. Mayor, have you seen this?

Mr. Mayor, have you seen this?

Oh, OK.

What do we got here?

Yeah, that's, uh, I'm going to hear a lot about

this one between now and the election, I think.

On the other hand, it's a dynamite headline copy, but it's not very accurate

reporting by at least 50% that I know about.

Then you did not, then you deny any prior knowledge

of Commissioner Zimmerman's intent to flee justice.

Sidney, would you give me a break?

If I had no, I certainly not.

would have advised the man to flee to some place a little more original than Brazil.

Mr. Mayor, Mr. Mayor, wouldn't you have to agree, sir, wouldn't you have to agree,

sir, that by leading the country to avoid trial,

Commissioner Zimmerman is admitting guilty?

OK.

All right, let me say that Tom Zimmerman has been a friend of mine for 20 years.

I appointed him, Commissioner Public Works, and I take full responsibility for that.

But you have to excuse me if I wait until he's found guilty before I condemn the man.

That's the way it's supposed to work in America, even in New York.

Mr. Mayor, Mr. Mayor, can I ask you a question?

Mr. Mayor, can I ask you a question?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Can I ask you a question?

Hey, hey, hey, you don't just bust it in the mayor.

He'll be making an appointment, all right?

Don't worry about it.

Just got to ask the one question.

No, no, no.

Somebody's life is at stake here.

Yeah.

All right, son, let's have it.

What's it about?

My brother, he's a fireman, and he got hurt in fire.

And he can't work anymore.

And the city won't help him out, nobody listened.

Wait a minute, let me get this straight now.

You're telling me that they are ignoring the rights of a

fireman of this city who was injured in the line of duty?

That's not possible.

Oh, that's what happened.

Yeah.

I mean, he was off duty.

You know, we were at Hooly's.

He was drinking when the kid came in and said there was... Drinking?

Wait a minute.

Drinking.

What are you talking about drinking?

The whole building was on fire and Terry's the only one that was arrived who came in

and... You listen to me, young man.

This city is filled with people in trouble.

People who deserve a break.

People who have earned what they're asking for and it's

all we can manage to get the help to them that they need.

Well, right.

Well, that's exactly what Terry deserves.

No, wait a minute.

Listen.

You come waltzin' in here with a sob story about a drunk.

Wait a minute, he ain't no drunk.

My brother is not a drunk.

You go home, and you take a shower, you comb your hair, and you think about it.

Let him go.

That son of a bitch, I'd like to rip his heart out with a spoon.

He didn't want to go to jail.

He ought to go to jail.

He's guilty as hell.

Now he's making me look guilty.

He's never covered for him.

I told you that.

Nobody covered for him.

Getting his trial day, he'd move back till after the election was covering for him.

I didn't do that.

Yeah, he didn't say no.

Same thing.

I'm telling you.

This is herpes we're looking at here.

It's not going to go away by itself.

I don't want to see Zimmerman's name in the paper ever again.

I don't want to hear it on TV, and I don't want to hear it on the radio.

I want this thing to disappear.

Would you get that Grease-burger out of your face and get on this?

I'm going to take this very much a missy.

You get croak on me before the election.

Now, get out of here.

You know, there's nothing more annoying going to reform fat man, John.

I wasn't fat.

I was heavily muscled.

You are a lard-ass.

Mr. Mayor?

Why?

You better come out here, sir.

Move now.

I think you should see this for yourself.

What the hell is...

We're still wet.

Oh, security chief Ryan.

What a surprise you dropping in this way.

I was just calling you on the telephone.

Well, what do you think of my new interior decorator?

As you may observe, he had...

I had plenty of time to pull out my fingernails

and my toenails before he blew my brains out.

He just waltzed in here, Ryan.

Now, I think you can understand I would prefer if this not happen again.

Okay, now find this nut.

I'll make an example of him.

Prado, not sooner.

Why, Officer Callaghan, come right in.

What a pleasant surprise.

I'm glad you could make it.

Where the hell were you?

There was a fire in the bathroom, Lieutenant.

A fire in the bathroom.

You leave the mayor's office unguarded for a fire in the bathroom?

That trick's in my kid's commando game.

You better get yourself a new pair of shoes, Callahan.

I'm gonna be doing a lot of walking, huh?

Smart man.

Have a nice day.

So how's the mayor?

Hey, you don't care about nobody.

Yeah, no, there's a scoop.

We have to move a call-in condo.

Yeah?

That's right.

You remember them 200 letters?

Yeah.

I plaster them all over his office.

You did, huh?

That's right, every last one.

What good's that gonna do?

The guy had it coming to him.

Said it was funny.

Yeah, funny.

You're gonna get your ass busted.

Oh yeah, you should talk, running numbers for the guys in the white shoes.

What do you do that?

Let me take care of it, to you right again.

You know where the expression kitten comes from?

Huh?

A kid brothers like you with big ideas.

I'm 20, I'm not a kid anymore, and I'm telling you, you don't have to

collect policy for the sleeves like Fat Frankie.

Yeah, well, it's a living.

Oh, no, you make you living putting out fires.

Well, to put them out now, I gotta piss on them.

We need money, Jimmy.

What with you throwing our dough away to quacks and hacks and cracker jacks?

We got $4,000 in savings.

Oh, shit, that's not enough.

All my conscience is clear.

No, what's that supposed to mean, huh?

So what does that mean, huh?

Clear your conscience.

What was that mean?

I knew a guy once in the firehouse.

A real smoky did, Jimmy.

This guy can put out purgatory with a water pistol.

We went on this call one day, and, uh...

I mean, it was a five alarm, or a real inferno, you know, and a guy grabs his gear.

He runs up in the front door.

He, uh,

he, uh, he, uh, froze.

And, uh, I mean, the guy, he just stood there and watched the building burn.

And, uh,

I mean, guys, you see, you finally had to

just pick him up and lift him out of the way.

And, uh, next day, Jimmy, he's gone, just like that.

Enough to make me do it, I tell you.

Do what, do what?

What?

Wow.

Why, he quit.

Bullshit, I know what you're talking about.

You think I don't know what you're talking about?

What you're talking about, I do.

Don't do it to me.

I can't sleep with me.

You know, these pills are getting me?

They make me feel like I'm, like I'm wrapped

in cellophane, like I'm swimming in glue.

I can't use my hands.

I can't walk straight half the time.

It's like a zombie here.

So you gotta hang in there, you know?

You gotta just hang in there until you got better

I've been hearing that shit for six months.

You've got to be right here where I am before you start telling me what I got to do.

We're just rehearsing there, guys.

Got a part on days of our lives.

Check it out, all right?

Come on, why don't you lighten up here?

We'll go get a bill, all right?

Come on.

Just attack night.

Hasmec here.

Oh, nice, nice.

Yeah, drink those pills with the booze.

Yeah, the captain's in control.

We want to talk to Terence Lynch.

Where is he?

Terence Lynch?

Terence Lynch?

I'm a short guy here, like a crew come down.

Come on, where is he?

Where is he?

Hey, I don't know.

Look around.

Look around.

There's 40 people in there.

Cut the crap!

Where is he?

I don't know where he is.

The beautiful, the musical fruit, the more you eat, the more you shoot.

Come on, Terry.

This is great, you're gonna love us!

Hey, sorry about that.

Come on.

Hey, look, did you know.

I got to talk to you.

The truth and the ice cream, that's a fact.

People, look it up.

I got to talk to you, right?

Jimmy, I'm right in the middle of the latchy here, for Christa.

You don't understand.

I listen to you, listen to the cops here.

You know those letters in the mayor's office?

They think you did it could have your hand.

Bet your ass I did it, you, fruque.

Hey!

Hey, the cops!

The black, everything is all right.

We just, we gotta go.

Cops.

Oh, the mayor's office, yeah.

Okay, look, I'm gonna take care of this, all right?

I'm gonna handle this, so I want you to stay out of it.

No, look, look at you.

What I want.

Stay out of it.

What's your problem?

My name is Lynch.

I got no problem.

If your name is Terrence, Lynch, you've got a big problem.

You think you're an artist?

Oh, me?

Come on, make one more move and you're going to

be the sorriest Mick that ever chewed on a potato.

Jesus Christ, leave the guy alone.

He just got out of the hospital.

Yeah, he's going back to the hospital.

Big God, man.

You got witnesses here, you know, we saw that buddy, man.

Hey, you got the wrong guy.

You got the wrong guy!

Come on, Jim.

Come on, Jim, come on.

Let it go, Jimmy.

Come on.

Let it go, Jimmy.

Come on.

Let it go.

We want some play this and I'm done.

I want to play this way.

Let's go.

Come on, we'll work on it tomorrow.

Bigotty.

All right?

Come on.

We'll get bail for Terry.

All right, everybody.

On the ball, bail for Terry.

Get it up.

Come on, okay?

What do you get here?

The guy's a puberty.

Get them out, will you?

Let me just ask for one more time.

Why don't you let you let me go.

I hate you the bail, so what's your big deal?

I told you before.

I know it's some kind of a foul up.

I told you before.

Lynch?

What's the father?

Are you James Lynch?

Yeah?

It's your lucky day, kid.

This lady here's been looking for you.

I'm Danny Brederoy's from social services.

Oh, Danny?

That's a boy's name.

Yeah, well, I'm in drag today.

Oh.

I'm the intern assigned to your brother's case.

Oh, you're a doctor.

Uh, no, no.

I'm doing field work for school.

I'm a social worker.

Oh, wow.

Well, I don't need no social.

Well, your brother does.

No, he does.

He needs bail.

That's what he needs.

Questions.

Yeah, about your brother.

Well, I'll give you the questions.

How about?

You want to know what his name is, Terrence Lynch, age 34, occupation

firemen, father deceased, he blew his brains out, mother deceased, she drank

herself to death, uh, education, uh, high school, one year college.

Nature of injury, his body is completely busted up.

What about nature of accident?

Well, he tried to do his job.

Any more questions?

Yeah.

How come you're such a bastard, Mr. Lynch?

Clipboards.

Clipboards?

Yeah, six months being screwed by you people with, uh, Reports.

Look, I'm just trying to help.

I'm not the enemy.

Hey, Lynch.

Got a little problem.

What?

Your brother's in the hospital.

Where?

Blake Memorial.

What are you?

What are you?

A guy tried to kill himself.

I just don't understand.

I mean he was in their custody and everything.

How could they stand by and watch him jump?

I wasn't there, Mr. Lynch.

I don't know.

I'm gonna stay right here.

I'm gonna stay right here until he waits up.

Mr. Lynch, he's heavily sedated.

He's going back in for another operation.

Do yourself a favor and come back in the morning.

No, I'm gonna come back in the morning, why do it?

Ah.

Hey, wait a minute.

Where are you going?

Going to City Hall to see the mayor.

Right, you're just gonna walk in and see the mayor?

Yeah, that's right.

You can't just walk in and see the mayor.

Yeah, well, people keep telling me that.

Well, you're not gonna find him at City Hall.

He's a Battery Park giving a speech.

I would like to thank the weatherman to start with.

Look at this lovely day.

I would like to thank all of you for coming here today and for proving once again.

Hello.

Hello out there.

We're

proving once again that we as New Yorkers take our

participation in the Democratic credit process serious.

Now, some of us take it seriously.

Others, among us, I guess today, I'd like to do away with it all together.

Oh, Ms.

Ha!

He got hurt!

Yes, of course.

Terry Lynch ain't no bum!

Terry Lynch ain't no bum!

He's my brother!

What about Jerry Lynch?

He ain't no bum!

Mr.

Mayor, he ain't no thief.

He got a heart.

No, that he right, Mr. Mayor!

Please get back!

He ain't no thing to get hurt!

Well, that's why we love New York.

He got hurt!

Shut up, or we're spending the night.

Shut up.

The war against a dirty city continues unabated with

the beginnings of our Polish the Apple campaign.

Today, we take yet another giant step from mankind in the winning of that war.

It gives me great.

Pleasure and honor, to be able to present the symbol of

our dignity and of our pride and of the mayor, don't tell.

Unswerving dedication that has always characterized the Big Apple.

Ladies and gentlemen, the biggest apple of all, the shining

new symbol of our big city, city finally free from graffiti.

This

is going to be fun.

It's a funny

one for the bad guys.

Okay, Jimmy.

The mayor appreciates everything you're gonna do for him.

He needs a system of support.

He needs sustained physical therapy.

He needs pain alleviation therapy and long -term rehabilitation.

Things we don't have the resources to provide.

He needs extensive private care.

Oh, private, uh, yeah.

Bastards.

Jimmy, I'm sorry.

We only had the pension money.

We can get the right guys to help Terry, you know?

I want to go down the mayor's office and tell him that I paper the wall,

but if I do that, then I'll go to jail, and I can't do Terry any good in jail.

But it won't be.

You see, the mayor's office is a misdemeanor.

It's a small bail of most.

Look, it says here that the pre-trial date is in two weeks.

Listen to me, if you tell them that you pay for the mayor's

office and they'd have to drop those charges against Terry.

And the assault of the officer and resisting

arrest, they'd have to drop those charges too.

You're pretty smart.

Thanks.

That's so pretty wet.

Your clipboard's all wet, everything.

Well, I was thinking of throwing it away anyway.

Yeah?

Oh, there's umbrella right over there.

You want me to get it for you?

I have to go town.

You want to share a cab?

Uh, no, I gotta go downtown.

Thanks.

Hi!

Well, this new cohesive bonding material that's

used on Super Train 1 is totally graffiti proof.

I think we've finally licked it.

We'll all soon...

Find out just a few more minutes.

Well, let's break out the champagne.

This is supposed to be a celebration.

I think we're all agreed that New Yorkers want clean trains.

And so I'd like to propose a toast to the ingenious group of gentlemen who figured

out this process by which graffiti can be wiped off almost as quickly as it's

applied by the fastest spray can in the Bronx.

To them.

It's another day in the subway in New York, folks.

Oh, Christ, what now?

Well, uh, we'd be totally confused if a train ran on time.

Have you seen this thing, really?

Yes.

And it works.

It's really graffiti-proof.

Trust me, John.

To get through that bonding agent, you need a sandblaster.

A single maintain, you've got a little AC problem here.

It'll be 10, 15 minutes, tops.

Alright, hurry up.

Okay, I've just gotten a word that it's going to be 10 or 15 minutes.

Well, that's not the end of the world now.

Come on, you know what you get when you get when you...

to put a politician with a group of people for 15 minutes, you'll get a... Speed.

No, you don't.

You get a sing-along.

We're going to have a sing-along.

Yes, yes, a sing-a-long.

I know you know this one.

Down by the station, early in the morning.

See the little bumper bellies all in a row.

Pull the little handle.

Puff, puff, poof.

Toot, toot.

What's going on?

They're fixing it, Lieutenant.

Should be a couple of minutes.

Is that right?

Hey!

Identify yourself!

I said identify yourself!

Yeah, transit authority maintenance.

Can I have your identification number, please?

Ah, well, I must have it at home, you know.

I gotta have your ID.

Yeah, right.

We'll get it.

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Intruder! Intruder! Intruder! in the booth!

Oh, shit!

I'm on this man.

Who is this turkey?

Yes, Mr. Mayor.

You can't do it.

You want to

task force on this.

Obviously, I need a pro.

Get me, Kowalski.

You and him headed up.

From now on, you're personally responsible for this craziness.

Mayor Tyler's Polish the Apple dedication ceremony at Skirmahorn Plaza turned into a

political embarrassment in more ways than one today.

For the second time in as many weeks, vandals managed to plaster Zimmerman Flew

and Tyler new on one of the symbols of the Polish the Apple campaign, in this case on

one of the much-heralded graffiti-proof subway cars.

What was supposed to be the symbol of a rejuvenated city became perhaps the most

spectacular piece of graffiti of recent years.

This time, unlike the Golden Apple incident, the daring

culprits left a signature, Turk 182, whatever that means.

At any rate, Mayor Tyler seems more than a bit embarrassed by it all.

Yeah, well, definitely.

There has to be considerable concern inside the Tyler campaign.

Considerable concern, yeah.

The Zimmerman issue, which seemed to be waning, now threatens to catch fire and

engulf the mayor.

If they continue, Turk 182 could spell real trouble for Mayor Tyler.

And there's trouble for a Bronx city councilman.

We'll have that story when News 9 Primetime continues.

Stay with it.

Turk, who is he?

Or who are they?

Reform groups continue to deny responsibility for Turk 182's stories.

Mr. Chairman flew, Tyler knew Turk 182.

Could Turk 182 replace Michael Jackson as the number one obsession of the young?

The amazing exploits of Turk are continuing unabated.

Mayor Tyler is gritting his teeth again as Turk 182 manages to strike close to home.

My day or my night.

Turk 182, the rose of graffiti.

The first Turk's song hit the record stores today.

Said the spokesman for one group, I wish it was us.

God bless Turk 182.

category, Turk's souvenir shops, t-shirts, hats, mugs, as to the words.

Today, the final end so.

Turk 182, Plastic the Dull of the Police Academy.

As his escapades become ever bold.

Turk’s 182, Turk 182, Turk 182, Turk is legend, Turk-Mania.

If we were lucky, again.

The horse took a big dump while Turk was putting that on.

Now, this alert officer is temporarily.

left the mounted service.

We can only hope that on his new beat, he can

keep Turk 182 from being painted on his forehead.

What do you think of Turk 182?

I think he should run for mayor.

Turk 182 ought to run for mayor?

Yeah, I'll vote for him.

This little masterpiece was done while the surrogate court was in night session.

If you can believe that one.

Justice is indeed blind.

And what do you think of Turk 182?

Who?

Turk 182.

Oh, him.

Got a string of him up by his private parts.

Little asshole.

That's right.

His parents ought to kick the shit out of him.

That's right.

My parents kicked the shit out of me, and I turned out all right.

His parents ought to kick the shit out of you.

Listen, your parents kicked the shit out of you, and you turned out all right, right?

This guy's for you.

Oh, good.

I'm going to kick the shit out of you in a minute.

Listen, you know what you talk about.

I just tell it like it is, that's all.

Three weeks ago, he hit the battery park.

A week later, the super train.

Now it's everywhere.

Give me the lights.

Now the two theories.

One holding that this is an organized conspiracy.

The other theory, more bizarre, that this is the work of one man.

Superman, apparently.

Tell me, what do you think of Turk 182?

Oh, well, he's probably right.

I never vote for these swine anyway.

The only coverage is that.

The mayor requests that we give Detective Kowalski our full cooperation.

I have worked on some of the more unusual sociopathic cases in town.

However, I find nothing in Turk's accomplishments

that is inconsistent with the one-man theory.

You see, we have reenacted the subway incident, and our man using a stencil and

a portable sandblaster who's finished a job in 11 minutes.

Eleven minutes.

With the security level on the platform, at the time

of the incident, 11 minutes was more than adequate.

The mood seems to be this.

Graffiti is a nuisance, but graft is worse.

In a season where there is little fun in the politics of the city, the voters seem,

well, amused by Turk 182.

Well, the old guy like this.

See, not everybody thinks this is romantic.

Now, just who is this Turk?

What do we know about him?

Or, if there are more than one, we could call him turkeys.

What do we know about him?

Absolutely nothing.

That's what we know, gentlemen.

And that's why I'm here.

We are going to start a chart from the bottom and enter everything we know about

this young man.

Because each and every one of you are going to help me catch this little fellow.

Clear?

I thought it went pretty good, Jimmy.

I don't know.

What are they going to do to me?

You're not going to prosecute a fuzzy cheat kid who's offending his brother.

Uh-uh, no way.

Oh shit, I have to go.

I've got an appointment.

I'll catch you later.

Whoa, wait, wait, wait, wait.

What do you mean, fuzzy cheat kid?

Me?

Yeah, you.

Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it.

Where are you going right now?

I have a point.

Look, why don't you postpone it?

See, I got this idea that you, you know, we go back to my apartment,

you know, no one's there right now, we pull the shades, we take off our

clothes, we get in bed, we see what happens.

Jimmy, where did that come from?

Is that a yes?

No, it's definitely not a yes.

Well, I really like you.

Well, I like you too, but it's not that simple.

You see, I'm sort of involved.

Oh, you got a boyfriend.

Yeah, I have some boyfriends, yeah.

Yeah, who?

Well, not that it's any of your business, but

right now I'm sort of dating a lawyer and a doctor.

Oh, professionals?

Yeah.

Old guys, huh?

They're not old.

Yeah, see, I read in this book once that some people are

in their prime and some people are out of their prime.

I'm 20 now.

I'm right in my prime.

It's true.

Look, hey, you just take a little time, think about it, you know, mull it over.

There's really no rush.

Jimmy, you just wait up.

Field.

You didn't have to do that.

You don't know me anything.

Come on, you help Terry, you help me.

Jimmy, I think that's really nice.

If you really, I do.

Thanks.

Oh, come on, open it up.

Right.

Yeah, see, uh, it works is like this.

You see, you go like this.

There you go.

Tada.

It's beautiful.

I keep you dry.

Yeah.

Oh.

Hey, you like football?

Uh, so, so.

Yeah?

Great, we'll go Sunday.

I could get you a horse.

I could get you a horse.

How about a buffalo?

How much is this thing?

60 bucks.

60 bucks, you're kidding?

This thing's from the 19th century.

That makes it an antique.

That'll be another 25 bucks.

Hey, you want the gizmo.

You gotta pay for the history, right?

Come on, 60 bucks.

Not beat it, pop, would you please?

Jimbo, hey, what's safe?

What's up, man, how you're doing?

All right.

I need some of the business.

advice on something, man.

Oh, sure, no sweat.

All right.

Hey, listen, hey, enough for nothing, but how's Tari doing?

I mean, them hard on, they really broke his balls, eh?

I mean, can you imagine?

A guy in a joint now are crippled up.

I mean, no offense, Jimmy.

Look, he's not too good.

That's why I came by.

You know, I gotta talk to you about some stuff.

Will you upstairs?

This is kind of serious.

Sure, Jim.

It's simple.

It's simple.

All you got to do is you put it on a little disk

like this, and you plug it into a gizmo right here.

I mean, you could run this remote from a mile away.

These guys, they got them like that?

So what do you want on the computer?

I read the newspaper, Jock.

Of course I read the newspapers.

What do I look like?

An imbecile.

Please be my guest.

You gotta do this.

No.

Yeah.

No.

Yeah.

No, I says it can't be.

Yo.

Yeah.

Oh, Madonna me, I... Him, you, this...

This guy, you... is the same... It's the same thing?

Yeah.

Only mother for Christ, my mother looks up to me.

That's beautiful.

But Jimmy, this guy, he's huge, for the capital of you.

I mean, you are immense.

Can't it be done?

Sure.

Kyle could do this.

But Jimmy, what, what for?

I mean, since when are you into politics?

And what do you care about this move Zimmerman?

Oh, I don't even know who Zimmerman is.

What gives you?

The mayor, you know, he hurt Terry and I got this plan.

See, I need your help.

Can this be done?

Can this be done?

Can this be done?

Oh, and that?

You don't like it?

It's wonderful.

Well, what I said?

Where do you think you're supposed to sit, huh?

Yevog.

Alright, you ready?

I feel like a prisoner of war!

Wait a minute, Jimmy.

That's the only sweet!

That's all right.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, Giants Stadium is proud to introduce your master's

ceremonies for this afternoon special half -time show.

Ladies and gentlemen, the distinguished actor, Mr. Paul Sorvino.

Thank you.

And now we direct your attention to the 50 -yard line where the bunting is...

Ladies and gentlemen, the governor of our great state, Governor Vincente Marconi,

and the mayor himself, John J.

Tyler.

Thank you, Paul.

Mr. Mayor, ladies and gentlemen, I have only one thing

to say, and that is, anybody in here without a bad.

Don't get him, James!

It's

not only a great city, it is the city, it's the big.

Apple!

Mr. Mayor, please keep your eye on the big board.

Who has won more pro championships than any other city?

That's the only control, right?

That's it, Chief.

We've got it all right there in the bank.

Who has the busiest port?

Who has the most songs written about it?

New York Are you there?

Yeah, I'm here with Patrick.

More clam houses.

And most important of all, where was the egg cream invented?

Brooklyn!

The governor, Mr. Mayor, a few things maybe the people of New York don't know.

Who made the largest tax cut in the history of New York State?

Governor Marconi, that's who.

And who created 70,000 new jobs for New York City.

Mayor Tyler.

That's who.

Who prosecuted over 600 polluters last year alone.

Governor Marconi.

That's who, who saved the city 250?

$50 million in pension frauds, Mayor Tyler.

That's who.

Thank you, Governor, Mr. Mayor.

And thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you, Paul.

What?

John,

I thought you took care of this.

I thought I did.

smile you putts

it's not coming in on satellite and it's not emanating from here and it must have

cut it to the board they couldn't have it's been guarded well you're looking at

it you're ahead McCose I'm three points behind I don't need this shit Yay!

Turk 182 deals another blow to Mayor Tyler.

Is it incredible?

You just love it?

I'm not in politics.

Oh, you want to be?

Let's go.

Couldn't have hop into a nicer guy.

You don't like Tyler, do?

Well, I think he's a jerk.

He used to be a good guy, but... Oh, I don't want to talk about that now anyway.

I really had a good time to... Yeah?

Well, why don't you stay there?

I'm gonna go down and get a pizza, right?

Yeah.

What do you want on it?

I'll just get a plain way.

Hey, what's this?

What?

It's a mural.

Did you do this?

Yeah, I did.

It's not finished.

Oh, I think it's terrific.

I really do.

You know, I could analyze you from this picture.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Well, no need to do that.

I'm, you know, I'm nuts.

Runs and the family.

But wait a minute, wait a minute.

Is this your apartment, or is it yours and Terry's?

Yeah, it's.

it's me and Terry's.

We used to be my mom and my dad's, but we kept it.

Oh, I see.

Well, you mind if I look around?

No.

Just, you know, please feel free.

Right.

I don't believe this.

God damn it, Ryan.

God damn it!

Now tell me, simple sentences, words are one syllable.

Why didn't you guard the scoreboard?

Why?

We did, sir.

Since yesterday.

He put in his remote unit before that.

Now, why didn't you search the board today before the game?

We did, sir.

The board is made up of what are essentially hundreds of small television sets.

He disguised his unit to look exactly like them.

Little tiny television sets.

We're getting off the subject.

I'm running for mail, Ryan.

I have to make personal appearances.

The purpose of these appearances is to win

votes, not to wind up looking like a horse's ass.

Now, I don't know who this person is.

I don't know what Turk, whatever it is, 182 means.

I don't care.

I have six more of these appearances to make in the next two days before election,

Ryan.

If there's one of these Turk messages that is bigger than a postage stamp within two

miles of any of them, you are going to spend the rest of your career,

I swear before God, Poundin' a beat in South Bronx.

Is that Claire Ryan?

Yes, sir.

Terrence Turk lunch.

I want to talk to you, Turk.

Oh, my word.

So last time I leave you alone.

Rats, my confetti didn't work.

I guess this makes me an accessory after the fact.

Yeah.

You are not one of the bad guys.

Oh, Jimmy, you are definitely one of the good guys.

Who else knows it's you?

Besides you?

Um... Shockable.

The guy to help you with a scoreboard.

You know, that's it.

You promise to keep that way?

It'll be right.

At least tell me why you've told me.

To get girls.

Oh!

No, listen to me, I am serious.

Do you know that you own the city?

Did you see those people this afternoon?

Listen to me, you could be elected mayor.

No, thanks.

We could also get a lot of media coverage after the time.

You could go right to the press.

They'd listen to you.

They'd want the story.

It would be on all of the television stations.

They'd be caught in.

Yes, yes, Your Honor.

Yes.

Yes, I have it, sir.

Thank you.

Brian?

Did I talk to you about Lynch?

Uh, Lynch, yeah.

I know about Terence Lynch, but do you know about his brother?

His brother James?

His brother who admits to playing paper hanger at City Hall?

I'll check on it close.

A brother whom the security...

regard the lobby of City Hall identified as being the man who accosted the mayor

just minutes before said mayor's office was papered.

Maybe we should play detective.

Maybe we should pay a visit to this individual, Mr. Lynch, a James, that is.

Wow, I got so hard.

Five feet to the right, all right?

Ready?

Let me go!

Yeah!

Hey, all right!

Hey, no, come on, pay up your geese, come on.

Three out of five, Larry Bird don't shoot 60%.

That's good.

Hey, hey, hey, I got some good news.

What's that?

Yeah, uh...

Hey, are you two, um, uh, you know, or what?

Or what?

Yeah?

I mean, you know what, there's some ethics involved here?

I mean, aren't I a client or something like that?

Something like that.

Huh?

Yeah.

So what's good news?

I'm getting ungraded this morning, huh?

That's great!

Freedom Day, if you know what I mean, huh?

Well, it's good, isn't it?

Yeah.

It's really good.

Yeah.

It gives me lots of options.

Hmm?

Pager 228.

Page of 28.

Hey, uh, you know, me and the kid here, where

the end of this branch of the Lynch family?

So maybe you two should have some babies.

I mean, this kid's not getting any younger, you know?

Yeah, yeah, good news, Moore.

Yeah, well, you know, good for me, not so good for you.

I'm why'd you do that, Jimmy?

Do what?

Do what?

Listen to this guy.

You turn yourself into the mayor's paste -up job.

I mean, Jimmy, you know, I'm not going to do any time.

You know what I mean?

You're a good kid.

Come over here and give me a kiss, huh?

I've heard of you, fruit cake.

I'll see you later tonight.

Ray?

Jimmy.

Please, do me a favor, all right?

Tomorrow?

See you tomorrow?

Yeah, tomorrow?

I'll see you tomorrow.

Uh-huh.

I'll see you, like.

Good luck tomorrow.

Yeah.

Tomorrow, come on.

All right.

Tomorrow.

Get the red, you be dead.

Get the black, you get me back.

Don't go by, give it.

Give it a try.

Come on, y'all, put your money on the table.

Our father was kind of a strange guy.

I mean, in a good way.

He used to walk all around town on his hands, you know?

Just to be different.

What's up, fellas?

And Terry learned how to do it when he was seven, so the two of them used to,

you know, do it together, walking all over town together in their hands.

I mean, it was kind of weird, but it was great.

It was great.

And when my dad started drinking, you know, Terry, follow him everywhere,

and pick him up out of bars.

Never did any good.

Jimmy, you're doing everything you can.

No, it ain't, you know, it ain't enough.

He is?

I mean, he's getting better.

He's okay.

I think it's wonderful when men show affection like you do.

Yeah?

Doesn't happen in my family.

Well, that wasn't affectionate.

He's saying goodbye.

What?

Yeah, he's going to kill himself.

Oh, my God.

When they take the cast off.

What is it?

It's the cops that arrested Terry.

He's probably got something to do.

No, there's nothing to do with anything.

Look at the way they're watching the apartment.

I gotta go, I gotta figure this out.

Jimmy, there's nothing to figure out.

We gotta go to the newspapers.

Bastards.

Jimmy, I'm sorry.

Ow!

Oh, did that hurt?

Oh, no.

That felt real good, Doc.

Jesus.

Terry, I don't want to sound like Joe Cock here.

But it really would be better for Jimmy if he turned himself in.

Oh, look, I don't know nothing about it, all right.

Not to mention better for you.

Don't be stupid, Lynch.

We got enough stuff out of your apartment to spray paint all of Brooklyn.

Good.

I could use it.

Look, kid, I don't have to remind you of aiding

and abetting and compounding a felony, huh?

We can make a deal.

Just give us the names and addresses of everybody involved.

Everybody?

Everyone involved.

See, that's tough such.

I mean, if I read on these guys, I'll blow me away.

Look, don't be cute.

Just give us the names.

You know what you're asking you to do.

Alright.

I was a penguin, the riddler, got one.

Yeah, she was in.

Darth Vader.

Fuck him.

Take him back to the ward under guard.

Dr. Ripper.

Tillahon.

And you're not gonna sign my cast, or what?

Hey, you're really funny, kid.

All right, Terry, enough funny stuff.

Let's get you out of that cast.

Now, this is gonna hurt just a little bit now.

Wait, wait, wait a second.

Ah!

There.

Yeah.

Mr. Viking, the Turk.

Why have you come to the Daily News?

Why are you doing this?

Well, I'm doing it because, I'm doing it for my country.

It's because I love my country.

And I'm going to take this country back to Norway, where it belongs.

Don't you think that'll be a little difficult, Mr. Tur?

Do I give a shit?

We'd like to see the city editor, please?

You're an appointment, lady?

Oh, I'm sure that he's going to want to see us.

Oh, this must be Turk!

Well, why didn't you say so?

If I know it was tight, then I would just

want to jump right up and I would just snap.

I'm a corner.

I'm Turk.

Ha!

Super Turk.

If you fly one more time, I'm going to fly your ass right out of here.

Ever-vigilant, ever prime to rid our city of vice and crimes.

That's...

Now to turn yourself in as Turk, I need two pieces of ID.

Your mother's made name, a blood sample, a cop of your dental place.

She's trying to be you because they love what you're doing.

Hey, why don't you leave me alone, man?

Jimmy, why don't you tell him the story?

Come on, why not?

Yeah, why not?

You are Turk, right?

Yeah.

Good.

Why don't we talk over by that globe, huh?

Police have identified Turk 182.

He is James Lynch of Sullivan Street in Brooklyn.

Police have apparently recovered elaborate amounts of paraphernalia at Lynch's

apartment, linking him to the recent splash of graffiti that has electrified

this city, and possibly jeopardize the re -election campaign of Mayor John J.

Tyler.

Lynch is described as a disgruntled civil servant seeking a pension.

He remains at large.

That's it?

That's why, you must never get it right.

It ain't you who's disgruntled.

It's Terry who's disgruntled.

They didn't play the interview.

They didn't play the interview.

All that for nothing.

And they make me sound like a nutcase.

It's okay, Jimmy.

Really, it is.

No, no, no, no, it's not all right.

I'm not all right.

Terry's not all right.

Nobody's all right.

It's over.

You can't do anything more than you've already done.

Yes, I can.

I can do what I plan.

Ah, people are always saying I don't finish nothing.

You know, Terry always says I don't finish nothing.

Well, TV people, I'm gonna finish this.

I'm gonna put this whole thing to rest.

Jimmy, I'm afraid you're gonna get caught.

You at least let me help.

I, you know, it's...

It's one-man deal.

Okay, Blockhouse, cut the power.

Look, you get 30 minutes before the mayor

arrives and want everyone out of those girders.

Don't give me any arguments.

Just get it done.

I don't want anyone on this bridge without a badge.

When those guys come down, I want every one of them checked against Lynch's photo.

I don't want anyone left up in those girders.

Relax, Lieutenant.

There ain't gonna be nobody left in those girders.

Hey, Terry, the kid's gonna be alright?

I mean, he's some kind of guy.

Hugh Lucky.

My brother, he sleeps all day.

He only wakes up to stomp on old ladies.

He ain't gonna do no time, Terry.

I mean, this whole city loves this guy.

You gotta love him.

I mean, what he's doing, you know.

Yeah.

I'm Danny Boudreau.

I'm Mr. Lynch's caseworker.

I'd like to see him, please.

Mr. Edwards called page of 214.

Dr. Edwards called page of 2014.

Mr. Joe.

I think we spoke together in the telephone earlier this morning.

I'm, uh, Detective Kowalski.

I'm in charge of the Turk case.

I don't know how you feel about things psychic, Miss Boudreau.

Boudreau.

But I have this overwhelming feeling that we're moving towards something.

something very tragic with the young Mr. Lynch.

He's out there all by himself, you know.

Well, we're not going to have any more unpleasant little surprises, are we, Ryan?

No, sir, not a chance.

No more keys don't pass tonight.

It won't happen, Mr. Man.

Oh, good.

Good, Ryan.

That's correct.

Oh, my God, for Christ's sake.

What are they doing?

Terry, I wish I knew how to make your pain go away.

I know that you can't do the things that you think make your life worth living.

But it's Jimmy's life, too, because he's out there killing himself for you.

Nobody asked him.

I don't want it.

He wants to do it.

He wants to do it because he wants you to know what you mean to him.

He wants you to know that somebody feels what you feel.

You raised him, Terry.

You're like his father.

and he feels the same way that you felt with your father.

Don't you see that?

Terry, I know that you live in a world where men don't cry.

But you've been crying all your life.

Roger, I don't know if we'd be having a celebration for the 75th anniversary of

the Queensboro Bridge if this were not an election year.

This is typical of the kind of manufactured

events that are the lifeblood of politicians.

And Mayor Tyler is certainly.

making the most of it.

I would only ask that they remember working men built this bridge,

many of whom lost their lives in the process.

So today is a celebration of the workers of New York.

And if the band would care to strike up something appropriate.

Okay, that's one for the band, without any further fall to all.

I would like to say, happy birthday to this great lady.

The 59th Street Bridge, God bless her.

Do it.

Well, it's a beginning, Queen Rock.

It's a new group, British, I think.

McCarty, what the hell's going on up there?

Hey, we got full power here, check online.

Simmons.

Simmons, what's going on?

What's what's going on?

We got current.

It's gone haywire up in the Riggins.

Should we send someone up there?

Wait a minute.

Jesus Christ, there's somebody up there.

What?

Hey!

This is someone up there, up on the side.

Get that spotlight up there.

Get it up there now.

I'm happy him.

That's him.

Oh my God.

It's turned to me.

It's Turk.

Holy shit, it's Turk.

Walter, just give me a break.

A chopper there now.

Get a half from 40 seconds.

Give me a sandwich.

Give me the goddamn file tape from the football game and the stadium out right now.

Score the 8-team.

This is King Kong and the Empire State Building for God's sake.

You better listen to me.

I got the Turk right here.

What did you say?

I got a taped interview with Jimmy Lynch.

He tried to turn himself into the daily news.

I got over 10 minutes.

on him.

Are you sure it's the same guy?

You're positive.

It's Turk.

Holy shit.

Hey, hey, it's the kid.

It's Jimmy, man.

Hey, come on, move the bed, man.

Excuse us, man, please, huh?

Come on, look at him.

Hey, come on, this is the security one here.

Hey, give us a break, guys.

Here, yeah, yeah.

Come on, right in from the United States.

Right in from the whole world.

Look at this.

Tom, Jimmy Lynch is 200.

150 feet in the year.

Clearly, he was fashioning the most daring... Yes!

That's the devil!

Those letters are on the bridge.

This is the New York City for me department.

You are inviting to the state and federal laws.

Come down, please.

Come down, the front.

Those letters are 25 feet high.

You look at them and judge for yourself what Jimmy Lynch is writing.

We know what he's riding.

The police are somewhat hampered in their attempts to reach Lynch because apparently

Jimmy Lynch has greased all of the lower girders.

Yeah!

Come on, hi!

Get it up here, come.

Move it up there.

All right, Kirk!

We've got you now.

Get out of there!

Are you crazy?

Get out of there!

I sat down!

New goddamn lunatic!

Move up there!

You got to Kurt!

Not birds!

Just watch him on the way.

That's Turk!

Get out of here, Ryan!

Turn these lights off!

Turn these lights off!

Right now.

Turn it off at the power out.

Come get him on the radio.

Hey, get that damn thing out of here.

Turn that TV off.

Come on, get out of here.

Come on that beat up, Terry.

He's after Jimmy.

This story gets more intriguing by the minute.

It's apparent that the message that Jimmy Lynch is weaving before the world up on

the Queensboro Bridge is his last statement.

unless Jimmy Lynch plans to escape to the heavens on a winged chariot.

Turk, Jimmy Lynch, is sacrificing himself to make sure that this message is heard.

We know what Turk is doing, and now we're about to find out why.

In this remarkable interview taped this morning by Del Manning, when Jimmy Lynch

was found among dozens of people claiming to be Turk 182.

So you want to hear my story, huh?

My own words, what happened?

Come on television.

This kid, what is he doing?

You see, my brother, he's a fireman, you know?

Yeah, so his name was Turk because, his name is Turk, because the guys in the

firehouse, they remind, because he reminds him of a young Turk.

And his badge number's 182, so that's my brother.

Anyway, he was hurt saving a little girl on the fire.

That's right.

Yeah.

While he was off duty, he'd been drinking a little bit.

Yeah, we were drinking a little bit.

He was at Hooly's.

That's where all the guys go when they wind down from a fire or whatever.

Well, yeah, but let hold it.

He's not gonna, I mean, he's not, he'd rather save a little girl,

girl's life, and worry about some rule.

You know, I mean, that's all it was, you know.

He didn't ask for no medals, no bonuses or headlines.

God, you're not going to do this.

He just asked me, right?

Can you go away?

My God, it's that kid.

Hey, I went everywhere.

I went to the city.

I went to the pension people.

I went to the workman's comp people.

I went all over the place.

The borough president.

I even told the mayor about it.

I run up to the mayor and I told him about it.

He stopped on the street.

All his reporters are gathered around.

You know what he says to me?

The mayor said to me, he had no time to worry about a drone.

Tyler, you stink!

drunk my brother he called my brother a drunk

huh well I’ll tell you something I’ll tell you

listen my brother ain't no drunk he's my blood what he thought up there you know

and his job is to save people save people's lives and and I wanted everyone

to know you know that that that tarry mattered, you know, and he deserves to be

treated better.

I just wanted the mayor to know that Terry mattered.

I got to go.

Oh,

Christ, let's go get him down from there.

I want to get him down from there.

What are you, what?

Terry?

Hey, old old, wait.

Am I going to have to go through you?

No.

No, you're going to have to put your pants on.

Oh, yeah.

Roger, this place is Bethlehem.

Turk is working relentlessly to finish this tag.

And so far, police are frustrated in their efforts to reach it.

Squad keep is on the way of this.

Why don't it stay down now?

You mean they can't turn it off?

They turn it on, didn't they?

They say that was the Parks Department's electrician to turn them on.

Now that they're on, it's on.

Takes a bridge electrician to turn him off.

Union rule.

Come on, get put us out of our misery.

Ladies, this is your last chance to come down on your own.

Don't expect to fight you down with nothing.

Because we're apparently working and have refused to turn off power to the bridge.

Lieutenant, I am telling you for the last time,

I am not touching the power to that bridge.

Besides the Union beef, you've got safety factors here.

Now, you want to cut the power?

You step right in there and do it yourself.

How's it done?

I don't have to tell you that.

Excuse me.

Holy shit.

Get that forked.

Get that forklift over here.

Stupid Flatfoot, never heard of auxiliary power, huh?

Maybe he's forgotten how to spell it.

Stay here.

Next time, you better bring a fucking bazooka, you stupid, son of a bitch.

What are they doing?

Getty, can you shoot this?

Keep rolling, keep rolling.

I'm

shooting the turn.

The show night.

God's sake, tell him no stop.

Stop firing.

No shooting.

Well,

we're going to spend our retirement.

We, what is this we shit, white man?

That's down the day.

He's going to find him and tell him we've been rooting for him the whole time.
