- [Tommy] Thing of beauty.

- From an agent wannabe.

- Hey bud, I'll have you know, when I was in high school,

I was scouted by the Mets.

- Last time you told it it was the Red Sox.

- I heard it was the Yankees.

- Yankees, Mets, Red Sox, Braves, why name them all?

Besides gentlemen, the small discrepancies

in the telling of the tale do not invalidate the truth.

I was a prospect.

- You married this clown, huh?

- He was a prospect.

(pager beeps)

- Ah dad, not today, you promised.

- Son, this beeper may be my ticket to the bigs,

besides that the Dodgers need help in the bullpen.

Everybody knows that.

- Don't go, please.

Just don't answer.

- I got you, Mike.

- Bye Pat.

I've been waiting for this one.

- Sorry Carol.

See you guys.

- Braves, huh?

Yankees, huh?

Where'd you learn to be such a wise guy?

- Working with you.

You're my idol.

(Indistinct chatter)

(gun cocks)

- Hey Art, you're looking downright pika today.

You miss your morning workout.

You're gonna love it.

Matt, tell him.

- You're going to love this one.

- Yeah I'm gonna love it.

- No, this one in particular is gonna rock your eye.

(Art laughs)

- [Tommy] Right, let's go.

- Everybody's seated.

All right, listen up everybody.

We got two houses side by side on the corner,

big vacant lot in the bank.

Now Tommy's been working on this for over a month.

We got a lot tied up in this.

- How many people inside?

- Well, the informant's been in there,

says there's 10 to 15 people any given time, some guns;

We think they just got a sizeable shipment.

- The head of Honcho is a guy

by the name of Mario Portillo...

- Grande.

- Grande, thank you Thomas.

Now, no one, no one talks to him but me, understood?

Tommy's got warrants with both houses.

I want two SWAT vans in front and one in the alley.

My squad will back you up.

Let's do it.

- Ready?

- I'm ready.

- I'm glad you didn't cut your hair

because I like your hair. (Tommy laughs)

Put you and Grande together five five.

Not too much traffic from Century City this time of day

- Don't try to screw with me cop.

I'm not talking till I see him.

- Things don't look too good for you right now, Mario.

- Really?

- Yeah, we got at least two kilos.

You'll go to jail for a long, long time.

- You have nothing.

- That wasn't even my house.

- Is that right?

- Yeah, I was just visiting friends, that's all.

Getting a haircut.

How do you like it?

(Mario scoffs)

- Tommy, this guy's a lot bigger than we thought he was.

Hell of a job, Jerry, thank you.

You know whose attorney is?

Paul Varjack.

- Oh, big daddy.

- Yeah well, even Varjack can't deny two kilos

in a chicken bucket.

- Yeah, and I made six buys of Mario

at different locations.

(phone rings)

Let's say I suggest you refuse bail

and stick it up Varjack's nose.

- Yeah.

- All right, over here.

- What do you wanna do about the girl?

- Let her go, I feel charitable.

Neither can Tommy.

- Hey can it sir.

- Don't mind me I'm just passing through.

Ray, can I see you a minute.

- Sure.

- Unless you wanna sing some more.

- Lead the way, let's go.

- What do you think's up?

- The ceiling is up.

Well, don't worry about this stuff, Matt.

I take care of you don't I?

- Yeah. Yeah, tell him.

- He takes care of me.

- Thank you.

- Heard your group got Mario Patillo Grande.

- Yeah, well Tommy Quinn made the case.

- How's he working with Matt Fisher?

- Mm, great, terrific.

I mean they read each other like a book,

and they love each other like brothers.

- [Captain] That's great.

So you're solid?

- Oh yeah.

Good group.

- Great group.

- Yeah, Tommy we know,

every little kid fantasize is about fishing

in the majors.

- Oh really?

No. I wanted to be Mick Jack-

- James Brown, hardest working man in show business. Ha!

- How's your boat?

- Boat?

- Thinking of selling it.

- Barbara didn't take it too?

- Well, let's say she didn't ask for it in the settlement.

- Divorce is final.

- Six months ago.

During the Christmas day takeout.

But she's terrific.

She's great, she's got a real estate license.

She's doing wonderful.

And we're still friends.

- [Tommy] Old guy, I'm old- - Sorry.

- I'm older than you.

I'm older than you.

- Good group.

- It's a great group.

- You better get back to it.

- Yeah, put up the bed.

Take it easy.

- Excuse me, Lieutenant.

I was wondering if you had a chance

to think about what we talked about.

- Oh, yeah, as soon as we have an opening Martinez.

- It's just that I've done everything I can do in SWAT.

You know, I've got the best record on my squad.

- I'm all about it.

I promise you.

I promise as soon as we have it open.

- Okay, I get my first stands sit,

I get my warmup done.

I look up in the stands and there he is.

My father came 200 miles to see me play.

- You're not gonna tell me you threw a no-hitter.

- Walked the first five batters,

knocked out in the fourth, 12 zip.

That's when he took up singing.

(pager beeps)

- Here we go again.

- Confirmation, Roger the dodger,

my new pal at the surf shop.

- When?

- Tomorrow night, if I could set it up.

- Set it up.

- Oh, say I don't suppose any of you'd be interested

in buying a boat.

- Your boat?

- You're not gonna sell our boat.

- What are we supposed to do for recreation?

- Gang, I'm selling it.

I am selling it.

(phone rings)

Roger, pal, I got clients to serve.

Oh yeah, well I'm not coming down there

if you can't help me out.

All right, I'll be there.

10 o'clock, yep.

- It's a combination liquor convenience store

San Pedro across from the port.

Now this parking lot's pretty well lit.

We keep Tommy under out of surveillance

while he makes the buy.

Art, I want you to ride with me.

We'll be parked here at the southeast corner.

Matt, you and Julie, I want here.

Any questions?

- You figure these guys are gonna be armed?

- Never seen anything on them,

but some gnarly surfboards.

- Well, we assume the worst.

- Guy's not big leagues.

Small time beach kid ties to the Asian crowd.

- Let's do it.

- You're hot.

- I know.

(suspenseful music)

Isn't this a lovely way to spend an evening?

There's something about parking lots

brings out the best in a man.

- In Tommy's case it's probably true.

- You know Tommy thinks if we play this guy right

he'll give us his connection on the docks.

- I'll make a good caller.

(suspenseful music)

- Hey, across the lot two men.

- Ah, order now not one but two teenage dope dealers.

Our late night special.

- But there's only supposed to be one of them.

- Two possible is heading for his car,

you got him?

- We got him?

- Let's go.

Hi there.

- Hi.

- I thought I was dealing with a guy named Roger?

- You're dealing with him, he's right there.

- Oh yeah?

Hi roger, where's my stuff?

- Hey, it's in a good place, man.

- What do you mean?

I'm here you're here, Roger's here.

How's the surf, man?

- Too many people, man.

What do we need so many people for?

- I like people.

I'm in the people's business.

- [man] No good man let's go for (indistinct).

- Keep it Tommy, keep it here.

- [Tommy] Listen man, I got a whole lot of people

up in Hollywood waiting for this too,

now if you can't help me, you know I'll go somewhere else.

- Hey, hang lose friend.

Lose, right here.

Soon as my man gets here.

- You're a man?

All I see here is a couple of kids trying to sell me dope.

Is that your guy?

- Nope, got nothing to do with us, man.

- [Tommy] I came down here because you said

you can do four ounces now I wasted my time or what?

How about him?

(car engine revs)

- Hey I told you man they're here.

- [Tommy] Go talk to him.

- All right listen up folks,

we've got a wagon parked at the side of the store

nobody's getting out,

we may have us a couple more players,

so keep your eyes open.

- Look at the Honda we got the wagon.

This is supposed to be simple.

(speaks foreign language)

- Okay which one of you dudes do I talk to?

- Hey, take it easy my friend.

- We're gonna do something or what?

Yes or no?

- You got the money?

- I didn't come here for a tan.

- Okay, five minutes.

Go wait over there.

- Where?

- In the light.

So we can see you're not pulling any funny stuff.

Roger wait's with you.

- Okay Roger, I'm gonna call my lady,

you go stand over there, huh?

- That surf mobile's not moving.

I think they're in on this.

- Okay people, it's going down.

In case you didn't hear that,

they say they'd be back in about five minutes.

- And when it goes down, you make sure Tommy's covered.

If the others split, let him go, copy?

- We take the ones with Tommy.

- That's top priority.

The others only if he's secure.

- Hello sweetheart, your lover boy calling.

- In your dreams Quinn.

- Oh Bernice you're breaking my heart.

- [Bernice] Where are you?

- [Tommy] I'm in San Pedro finishing up a deal,

any messages?

- [Bernice] Not a thing honey.

I'm afraid nobody loves you anymore.

- [Tommy] Denial, that is denial Bernice.

You know you love me.

(car engine revving)

- These guys ain't coming through,

maybe we ought to just call the whole thing off.

- They're back.

The Honda's back, you see them?

- We got it.

(suspenseful music)

- Well, you should see the look on his brother's face.

(suspenseful music)

(speaks in foreign language)

(suspenseful music)

- Okay.

(suspenseful music)

- Yeah. Bernice I gotta go earn my living.

(Tommy laughs) Yeah.

(gun shot) (Tommy wails)

- No, gun-

(glass shutters)

(suspenseful music)

(glass shutters)

(suspenseful music)

- Freeze!

(suspenseful music)

Don't do it man.

(gun shot)

- [Woman] What is he doing?

(suspenseful music)

(gun shot)

(wails in foreign language)

(suspenseful music)

(gun shot)

(tire screeching)

(gun shots)

- Get down.

(tire screeching)

- Get Tommy, right over there.

- Call it in.

Get help.

Secure the area.

What the, Julie.

(suspenseful music)

It's all right Tommy.

It's gonna be all right Tommy.

It's gonna be all right.

(suspenseful music)

Okay?

(siren wails)

(engine roars)

(indistinct chattering)

- We'll take this guys.

- No way, you don't touch him,

until I say you should touch him, hear me?

- It's okay.

- Ray this guys have been shot

and maybe we shouldn't move them.

- Just get 'em off of here.

Get 'em outta here.

(speaks in foreign language)

- Paramedic, over here.

- Tommy?

- Matt don't.

(police radio chatter)

(distant siren wails)

- All I heard was, shoot;

Loud just like Vietnam, shotgun-

- Find the narks who are here

keep them away from each other.

Now who's running this show?

- Lieutenant Wiltern sir,

he's over by the phone booth.

- Right. check out that mess over there.

- Yes sir.

- Potato chips.

- I'm gonna have to break this up.

- This is my partner.

- Internal Affairs is gonna want to talk to you.

They don't want you getting your stories together.

- Our stories?

- It's what I'm told.

(Julie scoffs)

- Somebody's a hell of a shot.

Check him for ID.

- Wiltern, Matmuso.

What the hell happened here?

- At least three of them got away.

We sent descriptions out over the air.

- Oh we got people looking for them.

Maybe the two we sent to the hospital got us what we want.

- I'd like to talk to my squad.

- Excuse me sir.

- Yeah.

- We have a male Asian in the car;

He's dead.

- I shot him.

- In that case, I'm gonna have to ask you for your weapon

then read you your rights.

- I know my rights.

I'd like to talk to my people.

- Not until Internal Affairs is finished with them.

We've got a dead civilian on the scene

and we've got to find out what happened.

- I told you, I shot him.

- Ray, I don't hear another word from you

until I've given you your rights.

- I don't give a damn about rights.

Your responsible for this investigation,

well I'm still responsible for holding together

what's left of my squad.

Now unless you stop me, I'm going to talk to them.

(police radio chatter)

- I'm sorry sir.

- It's all right I'm his commanding officer.

Art listen to me, you know these II guys

are going to question you.

- I'll just tell them what I saw.

- If you want to talk to them that's okay,

if you don't want to talk to them,

you tell them that or you tell me.

- I don't know how many shots I heard.

By the time Matt and I made it over here

all hell had broken lose.

- Well how many times did you fire your weapon.

- There was a truck in the way,

I never even got a shot off.

- The suspect came from the Honda

which was parked over there,

and proceeded to retrieve a shotgun

from behind the center vending machine.

Officer Quinn was waiting in the phone booth,

the suspect opened fire;

After the first shot officer Regan and I were on the way.

I continued toward the subject and shouted a warning.

- [Matmuso] Did you identify yourself as a police officer?

- Yes I did.

- Okay Ray, this car will take you Downtown.

(suspenseful music)

- These guys are supposed to be such hot shots,

they sure screwed this one up.

(suspenseful music)

(phone rings)

(suspenseful music)

- And how many suspects were there, all together?

- There were at least six.

- Is that what you expected?

- Sure wasn't.

- Well then, why'd you go forward with the operation?

- That wasn't my call.

- But you felt the situation was under control?

- That wasn't my call.

- And when did you first become aware

of the suspect's intentions?

- When I saw the shotgun.

- But you're telling me that prior to that time

you had no indication?

- What indication?

Tommy was by the phone and anyone could see

the kid wasn't armed.

Then all of a sudden, he's got a gun.

Tommy didn't have a chance.

- Any chance they knew he was a cop?

- No, no way they didn't make him.

- [Interviewer] How do you know?

- I know, because Tommy was the best nark

that I ever worked with and those those piss ants

didn't have a clue.

- What'd you do when the shooting began?

- I couldn't get across the street.

- [Interviewer] What do you mean?

- They're killing my partner

and I couldn't get across the street

because there's a truck.

- Before that, how'd you feel about this whole thing

before the shooting started?

- Not good, yeah.

- What really happened out there Matt?

Who screwed this up?

Tommy being a cowboy?

(Matt laughs)

- You're enjoying yourself aren't you?

Huh?

- Hey pal, they got me out of bed for this,

you know the drill.

- Yeah I know the drill.

I think the drill stinks.

Tommy Quinn was my friend and he's dead

and I should be with his family

instead of screwing around here with you,

with some stinking drill.

- His family's been notified.

- Ah, yeah notified.

I need some air.

- That's when I turned and fired.

- Across the lot at the gray Honda?

- That's correct.

- Who was in the vehicle?

- I don't know.

- You fired at the vehicle,

but didn't know who was in it?

- They were firing at me.

- You mean from that general direction?

- There was no one else there.

- Look, Ray we're trying to assess the need

for deadly force.

- One of my guys is dead

and I got a parking lot full of bad guys.

There's your need.

- Are you aware the man you killed didn't have a weapon?

- No.

The other guy in the car took off,

he must have grabbed it.

- Maybe.

(bell rings)

(suspenseful music)

(Matt sobbing)

- You okay?

- Yeah questions, you know this damn question.

- Just to hang in there a little while longer

and we can all go home.

- Take your hand off me.

(suspenseful music)

(water swashing)

(somber upbeat music)

(Art grunts)

(Julie sobbing)

(somber upbeat music)

(dog barks)

- Hi.

You okay?

- Yeah come on in.

- I heard the news, I've been trying to call you.

- You know I have my phone unplugged.

Do you want some weak coffee, I ran out of milk?

- No, I can't stay.

I'm showing a house over on Valley Vista.

Well I could come back if you want.

- That's okay.

I have to see Carol Quinn

and take care of a few things for Tommy.

- Will you tell her how sorry I am.

God what is she gonna do?

Those two little boys.

- How's your business?

- Well, the market's soft but my office is doing great.

You look tired Ray.

- I killed one of them.

- The newspaper said he was unarmed.

- I don't know.

Maybe.

- You want to talk about this?

- Nope.

- Ray, I know you've read all the books

and you think you know what to expect

but if this gets too tough, call me.

- I don't think he suffered much.

It all happened so fast.

- How are the others doing?

- They'll handle it.

I mean, Julie's got...

And Art he's been through so much in his life.

- What about Matt?

- There's nobody closer to Tommy.

But I can't get into his head.

- Ray, are you sure you're all right?

- Terrific.

You know anybody who wants to buy a boat?

- I'll come back when I'm finished.

- No, it's okay.

I won't be here.

(car engine roars)

(tires screeching)

(distant siren wailing)

Dolores, Hi.

- Hi.

I saw on the TV about Tommy,

what happened to him.

He was a nice guy.

- Yeah he was a nice guy.

Listen, Dolores you left me a message.

- I just wanted to talk to you.

- About Tommy?

- Yeah.

- Thank you.

- Tommy and me, we were friends.

He told me to go back home,

go back to school.

- Why didn't you listen to him?

- Got no place to go back to.

I got some friends to meet.

Look I hate to ask, but Tommy, he owed me some money

for the thing with Mario.

- How much?

- 100, he promised me 100.

- Okay.

Look here's 200.

And Mario was a big deal to us.

And Tommy would have wanted it that way.

- Thanks. - Yeah.

- If Mario ever finds out that I snitched him off,

I'm in a lot of trouble, you know?

- He won't find out, he's in jail.

- Listen, if you ever get anything else,

I mean, anything you would have given Tommy

get in touch with me, okay?

- Yeah, sure.

And you said you shot a guy, dead.

- Yeah I shot a guy.

- How many guys you killed since you've been a cop?

- That was the first.

- Does this mean you're not gonna bust me?

- I'm not in vice anymore.

- Hey, I'm really sorry about your friend.

(somber upbeat music)

(paper screeching)

(somber upbeat music)

- Thanks.

- Ray. - Mm-hmm.

- Talk with you a minute?

- If you don't mind watching me eat.

- I just left the hospital,

looks like you're gonna be okay.

- I'm gonna be okay?

- The man you killed, unarmed?

- [Ray] Yeah.

- Well one of the suspects you took down,

we questioned at the hospital.

- I know that.

- He confirms your story.

The man you killed had a gun.

One of the other perps probably ran off with it.

I just thought it'd be nice

to give you some good news for a change.

- That's the good news?

I'm gonna be okay.

Department suddenly believes me

because this scum says the same thing.

Excuse me, I've got a funeral to go.

- You're welcome.

(somber upbeat music)

- How's Carol?

- She's holding on.

- Hey Donald.

- How you doing?

- You okay Julie?

- I'm okay thanks.

- [Art] We'd better go inside.

- Yeah.

(somber upbeat music)

- I don't think I can go in there.

- I'll be all right, come on.

- I can't go in there and fall apart in front of Carol.

(somber upbeat music)

I just can't get it under control.

I'm so embarrassed.

- It's okay Julie, whatever you feel,

Tommy would understand.

- I'm sorry.

(somber upbeat music)

- Hi.

- How you holding Carol?

Are you okay?

- I'm fine.

- Michael you doing okay?

- I'm okay.

(somber upbeat music)

- Pat, how you doing?

- How come you didn't kill

the people that shot my dad?

- Hey, my man.

Art, my man look at her Mr. Natty.

- No, hey.

- Oh, you're looking sharp today.

- [Art] That's not good Matt.

Hey Matt-

- [Matt] Yeah, you clean up real good.

- [Art] Come on, I'll buy you a cup of coffee.

- No, coffee's bad for my nerve man.

No, you wouldn't want me to have a shaky trigger

freaking out would you?

- [Ray] I'm sorry.

- LT, the best damn squad there ever was.

Yes sir, set every record there is,

all for one, one for all, et cetera.

- Your outta line Matt.

- Hey, ladies look at this man right here.

Best damn lieutenant ever.

Knows how to take care of his people;

A good man.

Hey where's the music?

Some real music.

Tommy would like some music right, huh?

Or some Buddy Holly or Roy Orbison or something like that.

Pump up the music, break it up;

It's funny man, you don't know like.

What are you doing?

I don't want to take it easy, he's my partner.

He's my partner man.

- Come on. - We know that.

- I wanna pay my respects,

Tommy would have wanted me to pay my respects.

- Hey, what you need to do is go home.

If you don't pull it together real fast,

I'm gonna kick your ass all the way there.

- Well you take me, I ain't going with him.

- Oh man.

- Lieutenant, your office has been trying to reach you.

The judge is releasing Mario Portillo Grande.

- What?

- He's Attorney, Varjak, he's got him to set bail.

- Bail him and he'll skip.

- Judge said if he had Tommy to put on a stand

he could convict,

but without his testimony

those drugs could belong to anybody in the house.

(phone ringing)

(police radio chatter)

- Hey.

- Bring my car around cop?

'Cause I got a lot of appointments on the outside.

- You may walk today Mario but you're still going down.

- I ain't going nowhere but out of here.

And I would have sued you and the City for wrongful arrest,

'cause what you think you got for a case

that has got nothing to do with me.

- My man made you on six other buys.

- You're man?

You mean the narc who got iced?

May he rest in peace,

but without him you ain't got a prayer.

No way, Jose, oh no way Ray.

It's all down the toilet now,

and you know it.

(speaks foreign language)

(phone rings)

(car engine roars)

- Hey. - Hi.

- You ready for work?

- Are there any choices?

- I got two weeks, went by like two hours didn't it?

- I'm just telling myself it's like any other day

but i keep thinking that-

- Julie, you got to do what I do,

just don't think about it.

- Hey what do i tell my people.

Yeah, you say you can do business,

so why don't we do something, hmm?

Okay, you got two hours Chi Chi,

and if you don't have the stuff

then there's those that do.

(Matt laughs)

- Do my ears deceive me or is Matthew setting up a buy?

- Shaking and baking Art, shaking and baking.

Morning Jules.

- Morning Matt.

- Which one is this, Jamaican?

- But of course man,

he got the body shop where he's moving

more to new fenders man,

and I ain't stopping until I get this guy's fanny in a vice.

- Well get him Matt, we all...

What are you doing?

- What?

- Well this is Tommy's stuff;

That's his cap, that's his mug for God's sake.

- Hey Jules, why don't you just stand

your own side of the yard, okay?

- What are you doing to yourself?

- Back off!

- Take it easy buddy, she's only trying-

- Hey I don't care what she's trying to do,

I don't care.

- We all loved him Matt,

but you can't turn your life into a shrine.

- Hey, I ain't turned in my life...

Don't you touch my desk, you understand?

- I said, Matthew.

- What's going on here?

- It's nothing.

Matt's just telling us about a buy we can make.

- Oh yeah?

- Yeah, Matt says this guy can do a kilo,

and Art and I don't think we ought to push him that hard.

- All right.

Why don't you set it up Matt.

Only go slow.

- Yeah, I scope him, man.

Real easy wheeling deal.

(Matt laughs)

(Julie scoffs)

(upbeat music)

- Why are you riding that awful hog for, man?

At right price, I put you in something

where you don't have to scrape the bugs off of your teeth.

- You know everybody is anybody who's into bikes these days.

- Oh no, not me in this city,

I like plenty a locker and chrome run me

and a CD player, pumping the latest jams

when I'm cruising the Boulevard.

- Great, so what do you got for me?

- I got some special wheels here, just for you.

That'll put style into your life.

My car, the red car, man.

Red means faster.

Got a sweet fast speed transmission

flash that'll blow you away.

- Yeah well, flash ain't what I'm here

to talk about Chi Chi.

- Yeah?

So what you want to talk about big guy?

- What we talked about on the phone, man.

- Chi Chi talks a lot on the phone, man.

To a lot of people but a lot of teams.

But I get amnesia sometimes.

- Well you know I got pressure.

- You got pressure, see a doctor, man.

That's some tight stuff,

where you find something like that with your ugly face?

- Look man, I got people waiting and I'm gonna deliver.

Now, are you gonna yank my chain here

or do we have a deal?

- It's a waiting business, man.

We all got to wait.

- Not me.

- Not you?

Who the hell are you?

- Cut the crap okay Chi Chi, I ain't got the time.

Now are you gonna be as good as that line of telephone bowl,

or do I blow out of here?

(Chi Chi laughs)

- You got a mouth on you man, and an attitude.

- Yeah.

- Matt.

(key screeching)

- And I'll be in touch.

And next time, you deliver what you promise.

Come on baby, this man got to get his stuff together.

(engine revving)

- Are you crazy?

What the hell are you trying to do back there?

- Hey did you see the look in that guy's face?

In another minute, I had him crying.

(Matt laughs)

- Ray, hey.

- Simon, what's up?

- I'm handling prosecution of the Tommy Quinn case.

- Good great, can't wait to drop the pill on those bastards.

- Well, that's why I'm here in a manner of speaking,

the defendant young Mr. Tron he wants to cooperate.

- What do you mean?

Plead bargain? - Yeah.

- No way, not on this one, no bargains.

- The boy's 19, he's a Vietnamese immigrant,

he has no priors and he contends he was being threatened.

- By who?

- By the people he worked for.

He said they would have killed him

if he didn't go through with it.

- Simon, I'm telling you that kid was like ice,

he didn't give it a second thought.

No cutting corners.

- I understand how you feel Ray,

but every time you go to trial, there's a risk.

There's a chance you'll come up empty.

He's a young kid, and the defense

is claiming that your people pulled their weapons first.

Just think about it.

- Hey Dolores, I've been looking for you.

I need your help.

- With what?

- Mario.

- No, I can't do that.

- Yes you can.

- No, you told me he wasn't going to get out,

that's what you said.

- You help and this time I'll make it stick.

- No, uh-uh, I'm not going to do this anymore.

- How old are you Dolores?

- Almost 17.

- Ever been to Juvie Hall?

- No.

- Well that's where you're going if you don't help me.

Information on Mario is all I want.

Totally confidential,

phone numbers where I could be reached all hours.

You deliver him to me Dolores,

and it's worth a lot more than $200.

A lot more.

- He asked me what I was worried about.

He said it was all an act just to keep him off balance.

- Was it?

- I don't think so.

- He's out of control Ray.

- Okay.

Look, he's having a hard time.

- No, you're not listening,

Matt is dangerous.

- I don't know,

maybe he shouldn't be working undercover.

- What are you talking about?

- Not yet anyway.

- Julie?

- Maybe none of us should.

- Come on, this is what we do.

This is no time to quit.

- We're not talking about quitting,

we're talking about Matthew.

- He wants to get these guys so bad,

he doesn't even care what happens to himself.

- We do the deal together.

I'll send Art in with him and you'll team with me.

- All right.

- Come on I'll buy you guys a couple of burgers, huh?

- No, I'm gonna head on home.

- Me too.

Bye.

- Hi. - Hey.

- Oh, I've been thinking about you.

- Well, I saw the lights on I thought

who else would be working late with you.

- Should I search for a compliment in there somewhere?

- Sure, come on, after 13 years of marriage

with all that pent-up energy ready to unleash on the world

who's going to keep you from being number one huh?

- Thanks.

Maybe I could find us something to drink in the back?

- No that's okay.

- I was just wondering if you were free for dinner.

- I'm not.

- Huh?

- He's picking me up in 20 minutes.

I was just doing some paperwork till then.

Listen, the dinner is business, I could cancel.

- No, it's okay you go on.

- What is it?

- Hmm?

I don't know Barb.

Julie and Art think Matt Fisher's dangerous.

- Is he?

- I don't know, maybe.

I don't know anything anymore.

Everything seems to be dangerous.

- I know how hard it is trying to hold everything together.

- Do you?

How do you know that?

- You're right, I don't know.

I try to imagine, I try to feel what you must be feeling

but I can't.

You know when we were first married,

we used to talk all the time.

We used to talk about how you felt,

we used to talk about what was happening on the job,

about how you felt about what was happening on the job.

- All right you want to know what's happening on the job?

Julie's held together with glue,

Matt's not held together at all, Art who knows.

I don't want to push Julie,

I don't want to chop Matt's legs out from under him, okay?

Now we've talked.

That's the whole problem.

- That's not the whole problem Ray.

You're trying to do this whole thing by yourself.

You just can't do it that way.

Well I'm not the only one you're not in touch with.

- What do you mean, Matt?

- No, I mean you.

I can't push her, I don't want to upset him,

it's all about everyone's needs but your own.

- I'm their commanding officer.

- And Tommy Quinn was one of your men

but he was also your friend,

you lost your friend Ray,

and it's okay for you to feel that loss.

When are you gonna cry for him Ray?

You know the problem with cops?

Whenever something goes wrong

you think it's got to be somebody's fault.

That's just not true, some things just happen.

(footsteps approaching)

- [Julie] The one doing the talking is Chi Chi,

I don't know the other two.

- Keep an eye on them.

12-8 to 12-12, come in.

- This is 12-12 we're in position.

- Do you have visual contact?

- Well that's a negative lieutenant.

If we come up any more they're certain hell going to see us.

- All right just keep this channel open.

- Hugh, so (speaks indistinctly)

- That's them.

- Here they come.

- I cannot believe...

(door slams)

- What the hell is this, man?

- Business man, business.

- Got the stuff?

- You didn't tell me you was bringing no one.

- Hey man, it's my money.

He just set this up for me.

Hey look brother, I'm ready, are you ready?

- [Chi Chi] I don't see no money here.

- [Matt] This guy, man.

Well somebody better show somebody something.

- The shop, there's two more by the office.

- [Matt] you know what I'm saying?

I tell you what?

You show me yours, I'll show you mine.

- There's one more over there.

- Relax man.

- [Matt] I'm relaxed.

- Stop being high.

Let's see the color of your cash.

(Matt laughs)

- [Matt] This guy.

- Come on.

You have the money, shower to him.

- [Art] Hey brother.

- Now we talking, come on, your stuff's inside.

(suspenseful music)

- It's a trap.

It's a trap, this is 12-8 to 12-12, hit 'em.

- Are we on the same frequency lieutenant?

You didn't give a signal.

- Damn it, I said him now.

- let's do that guys.

(upbeat music)

(tires screeching)

- Ah!

(upbeat music)

- Freeze!

Turn around.

Put your hands behind your back.

(upbeat music)

(loud thud)

- [Julie] Hey, hold it!

Don't move.

Jack!

Don't move.

- Put your hands behind your head.

- What the hell is going on?

You blew it.

- Too many players Matt.

- What are you talking about?

This is my case, it was under control.

- You couldn't call it, you couldn't see it.

- It was under control!

- Not from where I stood.

- Well maybe you better think about that lieutenant

because if you're getting too gun-shy for this line of work.

- That's enough.

Now you can it.

- What happened Ray?

- I don't know.

- Bingo!

And I want a raise.

(car engine revving)

- Hey man, I'm not gonna give you no ball,

I've been done a few times already,

I wanna work this one out.

I can do good for you.

I can bring you people.

We'll be talking, man.

I do you right, guaranteed.

- What do you want to do with this guy?

- It's okay.

We're letting Matt work him.

(upbeat music)

(pager beeps)

(upbeat music)

- Morning.

- Morning.

- Now, the defense is going to try to create confusion

to cast doubt, to discredit your actions,

including Tommy Quinn's at the time of the shooting.

I'm going to lead off with you two,

to try to set up the operation.

I want you to speak clearly,

I want you to try to remember every detail,

everything that happened.

Tell the truth, maintain your credibility.

I wish Matt was here, he's the one who disarmed them.

- He'll show.

- Did you talk to him?

- No, but he'll be here.

- If he's not, he's in contempt.

Now I want you...

- They turned him into a choir boy.

- It's about that time.

- Hey man, you came hell in there.

- Officer Regan, could you tell us

how you were able to communicate

with the other members of your squad.

- We're in two-way radio communication

with officers Tobias and Fisher.

One-way communication with officer Quinn.

- You could hear Tommy Quinn but you couldn't talk to him?

- Yeah, that's right he was wearing a body mic.

- And at what point did you leave your car?

- When the suspect started shooting,

we jumped out of our car and headed for officer Quinn.

- And did you see when officer Tobias and officer Fisher

got out of their car?

- Not exactly, what I saw was a large truck

stopped in front of them.

- But none, none of the police moved

until the defendant started shooting at officer Quinn?

- That's correct.

We were waiting for a radio signal from Tommy.

He wouldn't call us until he'd actually seen the drugs.

- Officer Tobias, how long have you been

a narcotics officer?

- About two and a half years.

- And how long did you know Tommy Quinn?

- Five years or so.

- Now if I understand correctly,

you were in a car parked across the highway

from the liquor store, is that correct?

- That is correct.

- And at what point did officer Quinn draw his gun?

- He never drew his gun.

- Well, at what point did officer Wiltern begin to fire?

- I don't know.

My view was blocked by a truck.

- I see.

Officer Quinn was carrying a gun wasn't he?

- Yes.

- And you say you couldn't see when officer Wiltern

started to shoot, is that correct?

- That's correct.

- If you were across the highway

and your view was blocked by a truck,

how can you say for sure that he didn't pull his gun?

- Because he never saw the drugs,

he wouldn't have drawn or given the signal

until he saw the drugs.

- I understand that normal procedure

is not to call for backup or make the arrest

until drugs are exposed.

However, with your view blocked,

you can't say that normal procedure was followed

or that he didn't draw his gun before the defendant fired.

- You don't understand.

- I understand Tommy Quinn was a longtime friend of yours

and you want to protect him any way you can.

- That's not true.

Before the defendant fired I could see what was going on.

- But the truth is, that up until the time

the shooting started,

this was an absolutely normal drug deal

and we can't say for sure who really fired first.

- That man posed as a drug dealer

in order to lure Tommy Quinn down there with a lot of cash.

It was a premeditated murder robbery,

that's exactly what it was.

- [Ray] I'm working Tommy's snitch.

You know Dolores?

- [Art] You're dreaming, she'll never come through.

- Maybe.

I saw Martinez out there,

might be time to consider adding another man,

what do you think?

- What do we need more people for?

Every time we get close to something

it blows up in our faces.

- What's your problem?

- My problem?

I'm here, how does it look like I've got a problem.

- You know what I'm talking about Art,

we're supposed to be a squad, a unit.

- Oh shouldn't you be giving that speech to Matt?

If he cares you wouldn't have to go chasing him

all over the place.

- What if he needs help?

- What if I need help?

- Do you?

- I'm asking, that's all.

- Come on Art, I'd be there for you if you needed me,

you know that.

- I show you this weapon officer Fisher,

and ask if you can identify it.

- Yes sir, I can, this is the weapon

used to kill officer Quinn.

- And how can you be sure it's the same one.

- Because I scratched my initials and the date

with a pen knife in the stock,

and they're right here.

- Your honor, I move that this weapon

be accepted in evidence as state exhibit 5.

- So marked.

- Now you saw this weapon

in the hands of the defendant Tron Tron?

- No sir, I did not, it was concealed prior to the shooting.

- Concealed?

It's a rather sizable weapon officer Fisher,

could you tell the jury how it could be concealed.

- [Matt] It was secured behind a newspaper vending machine.

- Like this one.

- Yes sir, like that.

- If you'll step down officer Fisher.

Now, after Mr. Tron conferred with his accomplice,

could you tell us in your own words exactly what happened.

- Yes sir.

Mr. Tron came toward the telephone booth

where officer Quinn was waiting,

and kept on toward the vending machine where he paused.

- And what was officer Quinn doing at this point?

- He was just talking on the phone.

Then Mr. Tron pulled the shotgun from behind

where it was concealed, and as he came forward,

(gun cocks)

raised it, pointed at him.

- Your honor, - Matt!

Have him go back to the stage.

- Office Fisher!

- Have him go back to the stage, your honor.

- He pulled the trigger and he pulled it again.

- [Judge] Officer Fisher, return to the witness stand.

- Matt!

- [Ray] Hey Matt, what the hell were you doing in there?

- [Matt] Hey, just wanted to see him squirm.

- Kadazian says you could have caused a mistrial,

you want that?

- Hey no, I just told you.

I just wanted to make the guy sweat.

- Look if we don't blow this he's going to be executed,

isn't that enough for you?

- Now you tell me when that happens

and I'll hire a band.

- Matt, come on now.

We've got to put this behind us.

If you have something to say to me, say it.

- You mean the thing about Chi Chi,

I told you you shouldn't have jumped in.

- Not about Chi Chi about Tommy.

- I had it under control-

- About Tommy.

- It was a good caller-

- About Tommy, damn it!

- It's over, it's done with.

- You think it's my fault Tommy's dead don't you?

- I didn't say that.

- That's what you're thinking.

I should have called it off,

I should have stopped it, right?

- Well, it was your call you made it.

- You don't believe that, not for a minute.

Come on Matt, I want to hear it from you.

I want you to say to my face.

- What, you want me to say it

or do you just want to hear it?

- I want you to deal with it.

- No, you just want to get hit between the eyes.

Well I ain't giving you that.

(door slams)

- Got another truck coming in,

60 kilos to move, can you handle it?

It's that Cuban blood in you Javier,

makes you think you can do anything.

Make sure your boys are ready, you do write my meme,

we'll both get rich and live forever.

- That's it, go.

(upbeat music)

(tires screeching)

(upbeat music)

(gun cocks)

(upbeat music)

(gun shots)

(grinder roaring)

(upbeat music)

- Stop there!

(gun shots)

Look out Ray!

(upbeat music)

(gun shots)

(Julie wails)

(gun shots)

- Hold it right there Mario.

- Matt shoot him.

Shoot him Matt.

Damn it, shoot him!

(gun shots) (Matt grunts)

(upbeat music)

- Tommy's dead,

and there's nothing you could do about it.

(Mario laughs)

- Look out Ray.

(gun shots)

(phone rings)

(thunder rumbling)

- Wiltern.

Yeah, all right I'll be right there.

(thunder rumbling)

- Lieutenant Wiltern? - Right.

- I'm sorry to haul you out in the morning like this,

we practicing Downtown to find John Stinson,

this is my partner Gobasky.

This way please.

(somber upbeat music)

She looks like just a kid.

She didn't have any ID on her.

Nothing in her pocket but your card.

- Her name is Dolores Silva.

- [Police] She work for you?

- Yeah.

- You think they made her?

- I don't know.

- We'll holla for a wagon to pick her up.

Can they call you for an identification Downtown I mean?

- Yeah they call me.

Is there anything else?

- No.

Thanks for your help.

(somber upbeat music)

(Ray sobbing)

(somber upbeat music)

- [Art] Yeah.

- Hi.

Hey man, I owe you guys an apology.

- You don't have anything to apologize for Ray.

- I wanted to hold us together,

just to get through this,

and I pushed us further apart.

I don't know how to lighten anyone's load.

- It had to hurt.

We had no business expecting you to change that.

- Look, we're gonna spend the rest of our lives

wondering if we screwed up with Tommy.

We just got to deal with it.

- Yeah.

- Let's go to work.

(somber upbeat music)

- [Art] You coming?

- I got something to do, I'll catch up with you later.

- All right.

- Hey lieutenant, I thought you guys forgot about me.

I mean, officer Fisher never called me.

- Chi Chi, you know a guy by the name

of Mario Portillo Grande?

- Yeah, everybody know Mario.

- Any verdict?

- Not yet.

- What about Matt?

- He's not at home.

Landlord says he hasn't been around much.

- This is it.

(hammer slams)

- [Judge] The court has been advised

that you've reached a verdict in this case, is that correct?

- We have, your honor.

- Render it please.

- We, the jury, find the defendant Tran Tran

guilty of murder in the first degree.

(crowd chattering)

- Matt should have been here.

- Thank you ladies and gentlemen,

court is adjourned. (hammer slams)

(upbeat music)

- The jury's in;

Tran Tran, with double account.

- Great, maybe that'll bring Tommy back.

(upbeat music)

- Oh, jeez, who gonna need a chiropractor

when she's through.

Friend of yours?

- Everybody here is my friend.

- Don't you think it's time to get the team back together?

- Well, that's gonna be a little difficult.

Did I mention that Tommy's not with us anymore?

- All right Matt, that's enough, it's over.

Whatever you think happened,

whatever you think of me it's done,

we have our jobs to do.

You know there are drug dealers

like Mario Patillo out there,

they're not sitting this out,

they're out on the street doing their thing.

- Ray, do you really think that pushing Mario off the street

is going to stop anything?

It's not going to stop anything.

It's even gonna even slow him down.

- That's why we have to keep coming.

If we let them rip us apart, they are winning.

Stop running away Matt, stop hiding.

- Just trying to decide whether or not

I still wanna be a cop.

(upbeat music)

- Listen to me pal, is it there or not?

Are you sure this time?

Done.

- Deal set?

- Set.

- This guy's got a hell of an operation.

- Yeah.

That's what Tommy always told us.

(somber upbeat music)

- We got something working?

- Yeah, I guess you could say that.

- It's big.

- Sounds like my kind of party.

So what do you say Jerry,

you feel like riding with me?

- You bet.

- Let's do it.

(suspenseful music)

- There he is.

- We got him.

- [Chi Chi] He's alone, number 9.

- We're going in.

- Showtime.

(upbeat music)

All right, he's alone in number 9.

You men back us up.

Let's go.

(suspenseful music)

(speaks in foreign language)

Mario!

Come on.

(upbeat music)

Jerry.

(upbeat music)

Art, take the fire escape.

(upbeat music)

Julie!

(upbeat music)

- Thanks Mario.

(speaks in foreign language)

- I know what to do, come on.

- Hey lieutenant.

- [Ray] Good man Jerry.

We did it-

- [Art] All right. - [Matt] All right.

- [Julie] Wait a go. - [Art] Yeah.

- [Ray] And Mario, take a good look at that view,

that's the last you're gonna see it for a long time.

- [Matt] Looking good.

(upbeat music)
