Original subtitles

- [Announcer] Tonight on Wiseguy.

- [Frank] Knox Pooley.

Spiritual guru to a group called The Pilgrims of Promise.

- The land of pure blood

and our divinely ordained superiority as a people.

(audience cheering) (audience applauding)

- Well, I believe God put you on the earth

to be the savior of the white race.

- You're either for Calvin or you're against him.

He thinks I'm against him, he's gonna kill me.

- Are you still tellin' me this has

nothin' to do with Pete?

- It's got everything to do with Pete.

It's got everything to do with me, too, Frank.

That's why I became a cop in the first place.

(dramatic music)

("Wiseguy Theme" by Mike Post)

(thunder clapping)

(sighing)

(thunder clapping)

- He's reducing your schedule to absolute chaos.

It's outrageous for you to be kept waiting, Mr. Elias.

If you'd like I'd be happy to...

I know it costs a little more, Frank.

But dry cleaning is really the way to go.

(laughing)

- I'd like the final report on Vince's brother.

- Forensic believed the vehicle that struck him

is a pickup or van, judging from the fact

that the body was thrown down and under the wheels.

Massive cranial trauma.

Father Terranova was dead before he hit the street.

No witnesses, no suspects at this time.

- Now I want Vince back in the saddle.

- You ever been in mourning, Darryl?

- He needs to immerse himself in work

of genuine significance.

Vandalized synagogues in Brooklyn do not fall

within OCB purview.

- You gave him authorization.

- Because the alternative was his resignation

from the bureau, but this is a matter that--

- We are talkin' about something more

than a few spilled bottles of Mogen David here.

We're talkin' about races who approached

Vince for weapons because they thought he was mob connected.

- What do we know about these people?

- All right.

Knox Pooley.

Spiritual guru to a group called

the Pilgrims of Promise.

Pooley ran a string of auto dealerships

in the Northwest.

Talked himself right up to his ego.

Went into shopping malls and fast food.

When the oil crisis happened in '74,

everything went belly up.

Started a mail order business specializing

in black velvet paintings of Elvis

and commemorative door stops of Ron and Nancy.

- How large is the organization?

- 350.

- As many as that.

- Pooley's in the New York area for TV appearances

and temp meetings.

He's spreading a mix of racial and economic theory

that's askew just to the right of Ghengis Khan.

- You're aware of the first amendment?

- No, you explain it to me.

Calvin Hollis, Pooley's right hand.

Father's a habitual child molester.

Committed suicide when the family farm

was taken over by conglomerate.

Calvin was six.

Left school in the 8th grade.

Molestation scandal with a male teacher.

Deemed psychologically unfit by all four military branches.

Served six months when he broke his

former wife's nose because she turned on

a hair dryer during Super Bowl XIX.

- So we have a low rent entrepreneur

and an emotional cripple,

and Terranova sees them as a threat to the nation.

- Well, maybe he just sees them as the flip side

to everything his brother's life stood for.

I'll give him your condolences.

- My friends, it comes down to a very simple question.

Who's to blame?

I've heard it in the abandoned textile mills

of North Carolina.

Mills that once wove the strong fabric of the nation,

now produce only the tattered remnants of despair.

Who's to blame?

You've asked yourself that same question, haven't you?

When you've lost that job on a construction site

or the loading dock,

a job you've had for 20 years,

to someone who can't speak the language,

but is willing to work for 2.50 an hour.

Haven't you asked who's to blame?

Who's to blame?

- [All] Who's to blame?

Who's to blame?

Who's to blame?

Who's to blame?

Who's to blame?

Who's to blame?

Who's to blame?

Who's to blame?

Who's to blame?

Who's to blame?

Who's to blame?

Who's to blame?

- Yeah.

Oh yeah.

Take a look.

Take a very long and a very hard look.

We're to blame.

We're to blame.

Each and every one of us.

That's not what you wanted to hear, is it?

You didn't want to hear that in order to break the yolk--

- No checks.

No plastic.

- Take responsibility for allowing our enemies

to slap it on us in the first damn place.

- T-shirts.

Here. (audience applauding)

- Good crowd, huh, Calvin?

- 12 million in New York are.

- 11 and a half are mud people.

This is a damn good--

- What about the artillery, Warren?

- I brought the guy, like I said.

- And conceal the dagger of betrayal and then

you say, Dr. Pooley, who are these enemies?

Some folks say it's the Jews.

The fact, if I had a quarter for every time

I'd heard that, I'd be 10 bucks shy

of being Jewish myself.

(audience laughing) (audience applauding)

The fact remains that it would be easy

to point our fingers at the bankers and the financiers,

Jewish or not.

For the fact that our great nation can't compete

in the global market place with the Asiatics.

And it would be easy to blame

the liberal leftists, Jewish or not,

for sacrificing our working people

on the altar of international Bolshevism.

But one terrible fact would remain.

That is because we have been complacent,

because we have been gullible,

because we have been naive,

we have allowed them to exercise

their genetic need to dominate a Christian world.

So don't blame it on the Jews for doing it.

Blame it on yourselves for lettin' 'em.

(audience cheering) (audience applauding)

But by taking responsibility for our own domination,

we're taking the first step on that

long road to the promised land

of economic emancipation.

How are we gonna get that?

How do we get to this new garden of Eden?

There is a road map to freedom,

and it's contained in the recorded messages

and the literature on the tables

at the end of this hall.

Read them.

Listen to them.

And if what you learn makes you madder than hell,

it'll mean that you're ready to join

this historic movement

and to open up your mind,

to open up your hearts,

and to open up your wallets

and accept your birthright to a land

of pure blood, pure spirit, and a pure belief

in our divinely ordained superiority as a people.

(audience cheering) (audience applauding)

God bless you all.

God bless you.

(audience cheering) (audience applauding)

- I didn't come out here to haggle with you.

I want you to get Pooley.

I deal with the head guy or I walk.

I don't--

- Dr. Pooley is bringing the Pilgrims of Promise together,

but I am leading them into battle.

- Well, glory, glory, hallelujah.

(sighing)

- 50 Uzis,

400 mags of 32,

15,000 rounds of nine millimeter Parabellum,

tracers and hollow points.

What's your number?

- 65,000.

- Terms?

- Terms?

- 10% down, the rest on delivery.

(scoffing)

Don't walk away from me.

I just made a business proposition.

- No, no, you just made a mistake.

You can take your little shopping list to the A&P.

My people deal in megatons and they deal in cash,

up front and in full.

So if you're really plannin' on leading

these pilgrims into battle,

you better sell one helluva lot of T-shirts.

- Well, nobody speaks that way to me.

Who's the kid?

- Richie Stramm from the neighborhood.

Took the oath three days ago.

- Well, it's time to stick Richie's hand in the fire.

Get Stan Corker.

Tell him I want to mobilize.

- If there's something on for tonight, I can be ready.

- No, if I wanted you involved, I'd tell you.

- And then they closed the plant,

and inside of six months he's dead.

My mom says it broke his heart.

I don't know.

Before I started listening to Dr. Pooley,

I figured, you know, that's life.

But he straightened me out to what's really happenin'.

See, I think that's what Vinnie needs.

Somebody to just lay it all out for him.

- Vinnie needs time to heal.

Pete's only been dead five days and he's--

- Hey, Angie.

Come down to Santoni's with me.

- Oh, I had a huge lunch.

- Oh come on, just take a walk with me.

You'll walk up an appetite.

We'll get some spaghetti, a bit of calamari, all right?

- Despite your differences,

I'm sure you loved your brother.

The redemption of your soul will be

a tribute to his memory.

- Hey, bingo's tonight, isn't it?

Probably need you to call the numbers.

- Hey, Vinnie.

Dr. Pooley's doing a radio show.

Me and some of the guys are gonna go.

Why don't you and Angela come along?

- That guy is a lyin' bastard

who's turned you against people you grew up with,

people who were your friends.

He wants to tear this neighborhood apart.

- He's the last hope we got to hold it together.

- Fine, here.

Then go listen to him.

But do it with your brain in gear.

He's playin' you for a jerk.

Come on.

- [Angela] Richie's just lookin' for some kind of

direction in his life.

- Well, he's not gonna get it from Knox Pooley.

That guy's a hate monger.

- Richie's not a hater.

- You hardly even know him.

- But you do, and you like him,

or you wouldn't of tried to fix him up with me.

That's why you're afraid he's getting into

something he can't handle.

(chuckles)

I thought you were gonna hand the monsignor's head

to 'em on the collection plate.

- You know, he was in the house with Ma, you know?

He saying to her, mother that raises a son

that serves the church needn't feel ashamed

of another son that defies God's commandments.

Then feeds me that line about Pete loved me anyway.

I don't need him to tell me how Pete and me...

You know, things that I've done

and the things people think I've done,

that's not what I am.

- Tell me something I don't know.

- Thanks for stayin' at the house

and helping Ma through everything.

- We're family.

Maybe not blood, but...

When Danny died I would've gone crazy

if it wasn't for you.

You saw me through the toughest time in my life.

I'll always love you for that.

- Stan, did you hear Dr. Pooley's newest tape?

Yeah, I never knew the Rockefellers died

as Jew backers from Russia.

- Don't turn.

- We have to pick up Warren.

- Warren's not coming.

Make your next left.

- The bridge is the other direction.

- Do it, piss ant.

- When Danny died, it was so senseless,

just like Pete.

How did you deal with that?

- I cried a lot, prayed a little.

And then one day I went to visit 'em.

I talked to 'em about the time we had together

and about the time we weren't gonna have.

How there'd always be a part of him alive in my mind.

- [Vince] Come here.

- [Stan] Pull over.

- Why are we stoppin' here?

- Keep it runnin', let's go.

- What are you guys doin'?

- Shut up.

(gun firing) (dramatic music)

(grunting)

(punch smacking)

Drive! Drive!

Drive!

(tires squealing)

(soft music)

(engine revving)

Right, into the alley.

(tires squealing)

There's over a hundred grand here.

Get it to Calvin now.

(tires squealing)

(soft music)

- Hi Vinnie.

- Hi.

(kiss smacking)

- [Angela] Scrambled?

- No, no thanks.

Oh, sorry.

- Excuse me.

(chair clattering)

Vinnie, we're really gonna have to...

- Buongiorno.

- Mornin', Ma.

- I couldn't wait up for you two.

Did you have a nice time?

- [Angela] Breakfast, Aunt Carlotta?

- Just coffee.

Where's the paper?

- [Vince and Angela] I'll get it.

- Richie didn't bring my car back last night.

He usually leaves the keys in the mail slot.

- [Angela] Vinnie, talk to me.

- What?

- Talk to me.

- Okay, come here.

Sit down.

Last night.

We didn't need just anybody.

We needed each other.

In a way that we never did before.

- Are you sorry?

- No, no.

I'm scared.

I used to have three people in my life.

Ma, Pete, and you.

And now Pete's gone

and I don't wanna lose you, too.

- Vinnie, you don't have to--

- Angie, please.

Listen to me.

Now maybe last night could lead

to something new that, you know,

could keep on being great.

- Yeah.

- But what if it went wrong?

Being lovers is a lot different than being friends.

And we couldn't be there for each other anymore.

I don't want to take that chance, Angie.

- I was lyin' awake tryin' to think of how

to act completely happy this morning.

Must've been scared of the same thing.

Guess the time's not right, Vinnie,

for either one of us.

- Yet.

- Yet.

(kiss smacking)

(engine starting)

- There's Richie.

(tires squealing)

Hey!

Hey!

Richie! Hey!

(tires squealing)

(horn honking)

Get outta here, man!

- You know what would make me one happy fella?

Is being able to tell Elias that you're threw

with Knox Pooley.

- My DMV reports?

- Over 1800 vans and pickups registered

within a 20 block radius of where Pete was killed.

Was an accident, Vince.

- Well, if it was,

then whoever did it's still out there.

And if it wasn't, he's still out there, too.

If it was your brother, Frank, what would you do?

- The exact same thing.

Yeah.

Hey, what about this gun deal with Calvin Hollis?

- Those guys can't afford bullets.

- All right, so they're zeroes.

Elias wants you reassigned.

What do I say to Elias, Vince?

Vince, you don't care about my happiness.

(gate rattling)

- Where's Vinnie?

He inside?

- He's looking for you somewhere.

Why'd you drive off like that?

What's wrong?

- I really like you, Angela.

I mean, I really like you.

I really like you.

You know the kind of guy Vinnie is?

What he's done?

I'm just trying to stand up for our people like Vinnie does.

Him and I are doing the same thing.

- Richie, I don't know what--

- We have to be responsible for our own domination.

If we can do that, we can be emancipated.

- Whatever the problem is, Vinnie will help you.

- I don't want Vinnie's help.

Don't tell him I saw you.

Don't, I just slipped the key through the door

and that was it, okay?

- All right, I won't tell.

Richie, you're hurting me.

- I'm sorry.

- I'm tired of excuses, Marty.

Excuses cost.

Guttenberg printed faster than you.

It took me three weeks to bang out

From Moses to Marx: The Conspirators Among Us.

It took you three months to print and ship.

We missed Christmas.

(knocking)

Come in, Calvin.

I'm not gonna have an entire market area

go beggin' for material because my printer

hasn't moved into the 20th century.

You read me?

You know that Warren Pike's moving more material

through the store than any other outlet in the Northeast?

He's a real go-getter.

We should bring him closer into the fold.

I'm negotiating with Warrior Elite for their mailing list.

Getting that is vital, Calvin.

Over 45,000 more folks who wanna believe.

If were gonna reach out and touch 'em,

we gotta have a substantial in...

I should know better than to be concerned about finances.

- Last night I authorized Stan Corker and some of the--

- Our enemies don't realize what they're up against

in Calvin Hollis and Knox Pooley.

- This is only part of the, the--

- What makes us such a great team

is the diverse nature of our talents.

Now I'm an observer of global conditions,

a conceptual man.

And meeting you galvanized my ideas,

made me realize that our race is on the verge of extinction.

You take the conceptual, turn it into the tangible.

And the beauty of our relationship is that

it's based on a mutual respect for each other's expertise.

I have complete confidence in your ability

to collect funds without my interference.

You're the only man I really trust.

- Well, I believe God put you on the earth

to be the savior of the white race.

- Well, there's a little bit of God in all of us, Calvin.

(sighing)

- This...

Is a gift.

It's a first printing.

And it's signed by the Fuhrer.

- Only you would have the,

the sensitivity

to know what this would mean to me.

(sighing)

- I...(crying)

Uh.

Well, uh.

There's a book signing

in the center of Hyme Town today.

There is a supporter who could

use an inspirational visit.

- And I want to have a little chat

with Warren Pike, too.

Will you set that up for me?

Calvin.

Thank you for being the solid rock

on which our sacred movement stands.

(soft dramatic music)

(door slamming)

(soft suspenseful music)

- You should get some kind of award.

You know what I mean?

The way you're helpin' those young kids,

givin' em a sense of direction in life.

Richie, look who's here to see you.

- Dr. Pooley.

- Hello, son.

My people have informed me that you're

a superlative individual.

I just wanna come here and look you in the eye

and tell you that you're a valued member

of our organization.

- Dr. Pooley, I can't be in the Pilgrims of Promise anymore.

- Richie?

You're workin' in a gas station.

This man is wearing a suit and a tie

and he wants to help you be a--

- Ma, will you just stop it.

- Very disappointed to hear this.

- But Dr. Pooley, it isn't you.

I mean, I still believe in what you say.

It's just I can't...

I guess I'm not into politics the way I thought I was.

- This is not about politics.

Now you got a beautiful home here.

You've been blessed with a mother

who's nurtured and protected you.

Don't you feel like you owe her

the piece of mind that comes in knowing

that she's gonna be protected?

And that the home that she's worked

so hard to build is gonna be safe

from the dark forces that would undermine

the very foundation on which it's built?

Don't you owe her that, son?

- I guess so.

It's just, I never figured--

- That's what the Pilgrims of Promise is all about,

giving the full measure of devotion

to those who've been devoted to us.

Oh, it's not about politics, Richie.

It's about love.

Now I want you to attend a seminar this weekend.

- A seminar?

- Yes, an amalgam of theoretical workshops

and field training.

Now the fee is usually $350.

But because of the leadership potential I see in you,

I have decided to award you a scholarship.

Suitable for framing.

- Isn't that wonderful?

- Being a Pilgrim of Promise isn't easy.

It involves great sacrifice,

like losing a wife and three children,

because she couldn't see the miraculous

dawn is gonna come at the end of this long, fearful night.

I hope...

I hope, I hope someday

those children can be proud of their father, Richie.

As proud as I know your kids are gonna be of you.

Make 'em proud, son.

Stand before them like a great beacon

shining the way on that road into the future.

Will you be with us, son?

Will you be with us on that road to salvation?

God bless ya.

(sighing)

- Hey.

You come to my mother's house?

- Your office isn't in the book.

- Where's the kid?

Where's Richie?

- The number was 65.

Here it is.

We sold a lot of T-shirts.

You have our little shopping list.

I expect delivery by Monday.

- Where is Richie?

- Richie is one of us.

That's where he is.

Monday, Mr. Terranova.

- I'm not gonna make some war official, Calvin Hollis.

This is a situation Terranova's created

without OCB involvement.

- You authorized my involvement.

- You know, I am sick and tired of having

everything I say thrown back in my face.

And this is an OCB war room, Agent Terranova.

The leather bar is down Kay Street.

- Yeah, well I'm not surprised you know where it is.

- Vince.

- You know, you are the living proof

of the chaos that ensues when procedure's ignored.

We let you ride through Brooklyn like

the Lone Ranger on some personal mission--

- You haven't let me do a thing that isn't aimed

at gettin' me back into uniform.

Your success is based on my performance

and don't think I don't know it.

- And the price I have to pay is disrespect,

the waste of finite resources,

and a petulant attitude of a renegade

who's fixated on some insignificant racist.

- Calvin expects those Uzis by Monday.

He may be holding Richie Stramm as some kind of a hostage.

- And on this solid evidence you want

the bureau to turn these lunatics into armed cod-ger-ray.

- We're not advocating the deal go through.

- I have Calvin's money so I control the meet.

I'll wear a wire and when he takes possession, we nail 'em.

Hey.

I'll even dress for it.

- Your request to release weapons to

Calvin Hollis is denied.

Unequivocally, revocably denied.

(hand thumping)

- At least he's keeping an open mind.

You know, I've known you for three years.

I've never heard you mention Richie Stramm.

All of a sudden he's a son you never had.

- What are you fishin' for, Frank?

- A motive.

I think you're going through the most emotional

period of your life.

I understand the grief,

but it can make you see things that aren't there.

- Like what?

- Like a connection between the Pilgrims of Promise,

Richie Stramm, and your brother's death.

Eyeballin' every truck and van in Brooklyn

is like tryin' to catch smoke.

Now I would like the truth

or as close to it as you can come.

Are we after guys who are playing mind games

with a kid in the neighborhood,

or are we after the guys who killed your brother?

(dramatic music)

- You ever dug a latrine before?

- When does the seminar start?

- This is the slime the mud people crawled out of.

It spawned the niggers and spicks who shot

their seed into our own pure blood.

They made us weak.

They sucked the purity out of us,

so now we're drownin' in their filth.

But they don't know we hooked on to a lifeline,

Dr. Knox Pooley, thank God.

Dr. Pooley, the greatest man alive since Adolf Hitler.

The only man who lives and breathes

the cause of white people in this country.

(dramatic music)

The facts are clear and they speak for themselves.

Warren Pike is a traitor.

- [Man] I don't know what facts your talking about.

- The fact is that when you hit that armored car,

he was home picking his feet!

- He said you told him we didn't need 'em.

- Use your brains.

He doesn't go, I have to use the kid.

The kid's as green as a frog.

He shows up with the money, he's messing his pants.

- [Man] Don't figure Warren would lie to us

about the heist!

- He brings Terranova to us for the guns.

We hand him 65 grand.

Now don't you think Warren gets his cut?

He figures why go out on a job?

Maybe get caught, maybe get killed.

When you guys stick your necks out

and he still collects.

- [Man] I suppose you got proof of this, Calvin.

- He's been making four figure deposits

every week for the past two months.

Our money that he has cut himself a piece of.

- I'm sayin' we should ask 'em.

- If he thinks we're on to him

he goes straight to Terranova for protection.

Or maybe the cops.

- He's one of us, Calvin!

- Tell me that when he fingered you

for killin' that spade.

Warren's a Zog agent.

He's a lackie of the the Zionist occupied government.

I vote...

that he disappears.

(soft dramatic music)

(sighing)

We put him in a hole tonight.

Nobody but the worms will find him.

Nobody betrays us and survives.

Nobody.

I've already sent for him.

- What's the deal I gotta get up for?

- Warren Pike.

You've been tried as a traitor and found guilty.

The sentence is death.

(dramatic music)

- What, are you guys crazy?

(punch smacking) (grunting)

I didn't do nothin'.

(punches smacking) (grunting)

- Vinnie.

Frank just called.

He's oozing with that merchandise you requested.

- Tell Frank I owe him one.

- Hmm, that's what he told me to tell you.

- Get in the car, Richie.

- I don't have to go with you.

- Get in the car, Richie.

(thudding)

(speaking in foreign language)

(audience cheering)

(speaking in foreign language)

(soft dramatic music)

(speaking in foreign language)

(audience cheering)

Come here.

Get out here.

All right, you had me chasin' all over Brooklyn for you.

I don't like that.

I want to know what's goin' on and I wanna know now.

- Every time I turn around I've got

somebody pushin' in on me, somebody I don't want.

Vinnie, just let me go and forget about it.

You got no idea what it's like where I'm at.

You guys never get in on the way--

- What the hell are you talkin' about?

- I was just, I thought it was gonna be something good.

For all of us.

I was just tryin' to do something good.

Nobody was supposed to get killed.

- Who got killed?

Richie, who got killed?

- I threw dirt on his face.

I covered him up.

- Who?

- Warren.

They had a firing squad, Calvin did.

I thought we were goin' to the radio station,

but we were goin', Corker made me go to

where the armored car was.

He shot, he killed the guard.

He made me take the money to Calvin.

I don't even remember.

- Where's Calvin and Corker now?

- I don't know.

They were up there at the camp,

but they blindfolded me.

I don't even know where I was.

- Why the hell didn't you tell me about this before?

- I don't know!

I just, I know the way you guys are.

You see me like a freak--

- Hey, hey, don't give me you guys.

This is me you're talkin' to, Richie.

It's just me.

- I thought I was doing something good.

You know, I thought maybe if Angela sees me like.

- Come on, let's go.

- Vinnie.

I don't know how to get out of this.

- Come on.

(tires squealing)

- You still gonna sell those guns to Calvin?

- Hey, Richie.

You know the way it is with us guys.

It's business.

Now get inside and lay low.

Don't go anywhere, don't talk to anybody.

(sighing)

Once the deal goes down, maybe Calvin won't be

so much of a problem anymore.

Well go on, get in the house and stay there.

(door creaking)

- [Richie's Mom] Richie, look who's here to see ya.

- Where have you been, Richie?

I've been waiting.

(dramatic music)

(sighing)

- Nothin' yet, Frank.

- All units stand by blue.

- We're on standby.

- This sits down to breakfast, I'll let you know.

- Vince'll give me the word when Calvin takes possession.

(tires squealing)

- He's here.

- Calvin's inside.

- Units standby red.

- All units prepared, Vince.

(soft dramatic music)

- Cancel the order, Frank.

- Cancel?

Wha, what do you mean?

We can't cancel!

- Units return to standby blue.

- We gotta move, Vince!

(sighing)

(dramatic music)

- What the hell is this?

- What do you mean what the hell is this?

- Don't jerk me around.

- Don't flatter yourself.

You wanted the merchandise, here it is.

- I wanted 50 Uzis.

- Yeah, there they are.

You got everything.

You got the stocks, the barrels.

- The stuff is in pieces?

- What, you never bought artillery before?

- I don't want pieces.

- We don't risk moving assembled merchandise.

- Up yours.

I don't want pieces.

What am I gonna do with pieces?

- You put 'em together.

What do you think you do with pieces?

- Vince, don't you do this to me!

Don't do it, Vince!

(lids clattering)

Vince, we gotta move or we're gonna lose

him and the merchandise!

- Frank, you're screaming in his ear.

- We gotta move!

- He's on scene.

He calls the shots.

- You son of a bitch.

I knew you were gonna try somethin'.

I gave you the money up front

and you give me pieces.

- Simple.

One of your monkeys can do it.

(gun clattering)

- That's my merchandise.

- Yeah, I know.

- That is my merchandise--

- Well then shut up and take it

or I'm gonna send it back!

(knee thudding) (grunting)

(gun cocking)

(grunting)

- I want you set to move on that warehouse

and I mean set!

- I knew I couldn't trust you, you lyin' bastard.

I...

I don't...

I don't have room for it.

- Then call your friends!

They're lousy with pickups.

Freddy!

(tires squealing)

- Okay, you talk to me, Vince!

You talk to me right now!

(tires squealing)

You follow Vince.

You don't let 'em out of your sight!

- Come on, start loadin' it up.

Call Bergman Clark.

Tell him to get out here.

- You set me up, Vince!

I swore to Elias the deal would never go through.

- I couldn't let you bust that deal, Frank.

Richie was there with Calvin.

- So what?

- Calvin got the 65 grand from an armored car

heist in Brooklyn three nights ago.

Richie was the wheel man.

- You knew that before I got you the guns?

- No, no, Frank.

I didn't know Richie was gonna be there.

But the kids got evidence that we can use.

He's witness to a murder and grand theft.

- He is an accomplice to a cop killing.

The guard was an off-duty NYPD.

A cop, Vince.

One of us.

Every uniform in the city feels like he's lost a brother

and you are protectin' a cop killer.

- But Stan Corker pulled the trigger.

I just don't know where he is.

Frank, if I wouldn't let you bust that deal,

you would've had to take Richie in.

He would've got fried for what they did.

Without Corker he's got nothin' to trade with the DA!

- And what do I have to trade with Elias?

You made the bureau a part of your vendetta!

- That's not what this is about!

- Are you still tellin' me this has nothin'

to do with Pete?

- It's got everything to do with Pete.

It's got everything to do with me too, Frank.

It's why I became a cop in the first place.

- The next time you decide to leave the bureau,

you go with your gut.

- Hey, I didn't set you up, Frank.

How long you think it'll be before Calvin

figures out those guns?

- Hopefully it'll take him a week to

figure out the ejector springs are missing.

(door slamming) (knocking)

(door slamming)

- I told you to stay put, didn't I?

- Calvin was waitin' for me when you dropped me off.

I had to go with him.

It doesn't matter anymore.

I'm facing it, Vinnie.

I'm with those guys.

- What, are you stupid after what they did?

- What the hell choice do I have?

You're either for Calvin or you're against him.

He thinks I'm against him, he's gonna kill me.

That's what he does.

If I go to the cops, I get the chamber for

a murder I didn't do.

Yeah, I'd rather live.

- Maybe I can help.

- Oh yeah, that's what I thought.

But you sell guns to killers,

so I don't see much of a future with you, either.

- Hey, why don't you stop bitchin' about

what everybody's doin' or not doin'?

What are you doin' to help yourself?

- There's nothin' I can do.

- You know somethin'?

Knox Pooley's a twisted intellect,

but he's right about one thing.

And that's takin' responsibility.

I saw you being inducted into the Pilgrims of Promise.

I should've taken responsibility for you then,

but I got caught up in my own problems.

- Why don't you give me a break?

- When are you gonna face the fact

that your life is what you want it to be?

If it stinks, then change it,

but take responsibility for it.

- My life is not worth taking responsibility for.

- Well, I'll give you something that is.

My life.

I'm a federal agent.

Undercover with the OCB.

Richie.

I know exactly what you're going through.

Feelin' squeezed in and left out at the same time,

but believe me, the only road you're facing

that isn't a dead end is to pin this murder

on the people that are responsible for it.

That's Corker, Hollis, and Pooley.

- Dr. Pooley didn't know anything about this.

See, Calvin's in charge of operations,

and he bragged about it all the time.

Dr. Pooley doesn't know a thing about--

- Richie, wake up!

Calvin's a dim bulb.

He couldn't run that show by himself.

You got one chance to live free

and that's to get the DA what they need

to nail all those guys.

You can get close to them.

I can't.

- You want me to work undercover?

- All I want you to do is look and listen.

Whatever you get you bring it to me.

(sighing)

I can't guarantee you're not gonna do any time.

But if you do, at least it'll be a sentence with an end.

You stay with the Pilgrims of Promise, Richie,

you're pullin' down the shade of the rest of your life.

- Does Angela know?

- No.

Just my mother and my direct superiors and now you.

All those times, seems like we didn't have much in common.

Shootin' hoops, maybe.

Ma and Dad.

Things I've seen people do.

Doesn't seem like there's any souls to save.

Or any one's worth savin'.

Then I think, I think about when you said that

we're doin' God's work,

and we try to help people be the best that they can be.

Knowing that none of us would be saints,

but at least the most of us

has that potential that you gotta try to get at.

(sniffing)

I can hear you sayin' that, man.

(crying)

I couldn't of grown up without you.

(crying)

I just hope you gave me the strength.

I hope you gave me the strength

to grow old without ya.

I love you, man.

(crying)
