Hey, stavros, coil it, I said,
Not hang yourself.

Coil it, coil it.

Sure, I'm ready to throw up
From standing here coiling it.

Hey, where's sally?

I thought she was gonna
Be with us today.

She's pregnant,
Didn't he tell you?

Really?

Hey, fantastic.

Since when?

Two months, but we didn't want
To say anything

Until we were real sure.

Well, all right, man.

Let's get a pool together.

Pick a date.

That's a good idea.

What day do you want?

December 22nd.

Okay, the 22nd.

December the 5th,
And it's a boy.

December 30.

Hey, want a beer, stavros?

Oh, no more, no more beer.

Have a beer.
It'll straighten you out.

No more beer.

It's good for you.

Yeah, sure...

All right, stavros.
Straighten the jib line.

We're heading for the slip.

Crocker.

What's this, the twilight zone?

Where is everybody?

Well, you remember,
Lieutenant.

The guys rearranged their shifts

So they could spend
The afternoon on richie's boat.

And I'm covering here.

No, I don't remember,
Lieutenant.

You tell the navy
To abandon ship.

Looks like we've finally got a
Shot to nail this jimmy alanzo.

He's in a midtown hotel looking
To buy 10 or 15 pounds of coke.

Take the address, I got a room
Reserved right next door to his.

You tell crocker I want
Him to get a team together

And put out a stakeout.

We're gonna nab him this time.

Well, go, rizzo!

Watch the dog.

He's okay.
He's right over here.

Gather up the jib line.

Hey, one of you guys,
Get this stern line.

Stern to bow line.

Hey, richie,
Grab the stern line here.

Hurry up.
Grab that stern line.

Watch the side.
Watch the sides of it!

I will watch.

Tie the rope.

Bobbie.

What are you doing here?
You're supposed to be covering.

Yeah, well,
The lieutenant sent me down.

We got a fix on alanzo.

Come on, I'll tell you about it
On the way back.

Hey, we got a make on alanzo.

- we got to go.
- look, you guys go ahead.

I'll help richie tie down the
Boat, and we'll be right there.

- you got it.
- trouble.

I told sally
I was off duty at midnight.

This is gonna be a problem.

What's the matter?

You know women, first couple
Of months when they're pregnant,

They're very emotional.

I mean, I don't show up on time,
She thinks I'm cheating on her.

She really thinks
That she's lost her looks.

Now, I think she's more
Beautiful than ever, you know?

Ah, don't worry about it,
Richie.

Once the kid comes,
You'll see how she brightens up.

Now, come on,
Let's get this boat secured.

I'll get this one,
You get the jib.

- who is it?
- joe kane.

Someone just came in the room.

Mr. Alanzo.

Not a cop in the lobby.

Where is it?

It's in the housekeeping cart
Outside in the hall,

Ten pounds pure coke.

Lieutenant, the seller
Just came up to the room,

Joe kane I think.

The coke is stashed
On the cart in the hall.

All right, follow kane
Down to the lobby

And stay behind him.

Have larry pick up alanzo.

Come on.

This better be
Just like the sample, man.

Hey, come on,
I got a business.

I got a reputation.

Police, freeze!

Alanzo!

Larry!

- larry.
- I'm okay.

Just lay back down.

I'll call an ambulance.

I thought you were supposed
To come down the elevator.

I went down one floor,
I came back up.

That wasn't the plan.

Lieutenant, on the boat today,

I asked larry to do some things
For me like check the tell-tale.

That's a little string.
It's up on top of the mast

That tells you which way
The wind's blowing.

The point is,
He doesn't see too well anymore,

And he's too proud
To wear glasses,

So I got worried about him.

For 30 years
Larry's been a top detective.

You're very lucky
To have broken in with him,

And he's lucky to have you
For a partner.

Larry, okay?

I the shoulder.

I guess that means at my age

They're gonna put me out
To pasture, that right, theo?

Sooner or later.

Que sera, baby.

You're a good cop.

Thanks.

Vicki, selma, louisa,
Who are they, richie?

They are informants, sally,
And where did you get this list?

Informants, oh,

That covers all the names
I'll ever find, doesn't it?

- sally.
- wait a minute.

Excuse me, sally,
I know for a fact

That richie and larry morton
Have a whole network of hookers

That they use as informants.

Oh, yes, of course.

You're absolutely right.

How could I think
Such a terrible thing?

What did you do tonight, richie?

- I was working!
- wait a minute.

Wait a minute, richie.
Wait a minute.

He only risked his own life to
Save larry morton, that's all.

That's nice.

Look, I'm sorry,
But I just don't care anymore.

My lawyer's advised
Me to change the locks.

- what?
- you can come home if you want,

But you won't get in.

Hello, sally.

All right, back to work.

Hey, richie, come on.

She's pregnant.

She'll come around.

Well, of course that depends.

On what?

On his wife's lawyer.

Come on.

- hey, rich.
- yeah.

Larry, he's gonna
Be all right.

That's something.

And from the lieutenant
And myself, larry,

We were gonna give you one
Bottle of bourbon 30 years old,

Or either 30 bottles a year old,

So we settled for three bottles
Ten years old.

Thanks.

Hey, I want them
All open right now, huh?

Easy does it on that.

You know, I-I spent
The best years of my life here.

I want the best for all of you.

Welcome any time, larry.

Yeah.

- try to keep me away.
- all right. All right.

Hey, larry, sorry I'm late,
Partner.

I got hung up
Over in court,

But I didn't forget
To get you a present.

Hey, buddy,
I'm just glad to see you.

How're you doing?

Hey, you got a nice tan.

Miami must've been nice.

Eh, it's okay, you know,
For a couple of months,

But forever, ah.

There's no action.

I hated it.

Thanks.

Listen, did sally go
Through with the divorce?

No. We're, um--

We're no where near that yet,
Thank god.

She has this lawyer, coughlin,

He has all these
Preliminary hearings.

Every time I think I'm real
Close to making peace with her,

He tells her that I'm just
Watching out for myself.

You know what the court
Awarded him today?

5,000 bucks for two months work
Which I don't have.

Plus she gets half my pay.

I don't even get to live in
The apartment, plus my attorney.

I think I'm gonna have to sell
The boat if I can find a buyer.

Oh, I'm sorry, richie.

How's sally doing with the kid?

She's due in about two months.

She's crying herself
To sleep every single night,

And this lawyer
Of hers gets an injunction,

So now I can't even talk to her.

I could kill him, larry.

Nice boat.

What are you asking?

I paid 9,500,

And I put another 5 grand
Into her,

New motor, sails, galley work.

You want to see below?

How much?

Well, it's a really bad season
To sell right now.

In the spring, she'll bring
4,000 more, at least.

Look, I'll die inside,

But I'd take 7,000 cash.

Write a bill of sale,
Sign it, get 2,000.

2,000?

Is this some kind of a joke?

I get more than that
From a broker.

So do it.

2,500.

Ain't you hungry?

Take it.

Who the hell are you
To tell me I'm hungry?

Hey, hey.

I see three witnesses
Looking at us.

You want to get sued
For assault, you got it,

But I think you got enough
Lawyer problems if you ask me.

I didn't ask,
So how come you told?

Get on the ground
And spread 'em!

Hey, are you crazy?

Here you go.
See?

You look like a bum
I saw in a poster yesterday.

Now, take out your wallet.

You are making a big mistake.

Just shut up
Or I'll run you in.

Coughlin?

He sends you to buy my boat

When he's got me nailed
Against the wall?

Get out of here!

Charmaine, I want those cutler
Briefs sent over to my apartment

As soon as they're done.

Call mrs. Bright, tell her
Not to show in court tomorrow.

I'll explain that she's ill.

That way
They'll give us an extension.

She'll get another two months
In the house,

And I want that bill paid
Tomorrow.

Yes, sir.

Goodnight.

You know what it ought to say
On these plates?

Shyster.

Excuse me.

What's the matter?
You're running through court

So fast you forget the faces,
Don't you?

May I suggest, mr. Centorini,

That we limit our contact
To the courthouse.

Now, would you please move?

I'm a detective
Investigating a crime.

You touch me, I'll arrest you.

If you arrest me,
I'll see that you're fired.

Now, move!

2,000 for my boat, huh?

Then you sit on it for what,
Maybe four months?

Make an $8,000 profit?

That's a crime in itself.

No, sir, it is not.

Now, you needed money
To satisfy a court order.

I offered cash.

You ought to thank me.

What do you need the money
For, coughlin...

A new grill?

Headlights?

I have a license for this
For exactly this reason.

Now, do you move, or not?

Please.

Please get off my wife's case.

I-I think we can work this out
If you'd just try and help.

I'm not a marriage counselor,
Mr. Centorini.

I'm a lawyer,

And you'll pay for this,
I assure you of that.

Hey, larry,
I thought you were retired.

Where's richie?

Ah, he had another appointment
With his lawyer.

Aw, how long is
That gonna drag out for?

Eh, the way his wife's lawyer
Is milking this case,

A year maybe.

A year? I knew a guy

Who was married and divorced
Three times in one year.

It would have been four,
Only he murdered the last one.

What is this, a surprise party?

- theo.
- yeah.

Everett coughlin,
Centorini's wife's lawyer,

Called some friends
In the department

This morning, told them that
Richie threatened him yesterday.

I think you better
Talk to richie, theo.

I hate to see another career
Ruined by divorce.

I will, frank,
And thanks for being so patient.

Mr. Coughlin,
I'm with mr. Centorini,

And we have a suggestion that'll
Settle this affair right now.

He'll agree to maintain
All medical insurance

On his wife and child
Until the age of 18.

He'll pay 200 a month
Alimony until she remarries,

And 200 a month support
For the child also until 18.

Double it, krikorian.

He draws 500 a week
In his current grade.

Before taxes.

Leave my client something.

Alimony is tax deductible,

And of course, you know
She'll need a new vehicle,

An apartment suitable
For raising a child,

Plus some sort of live-in help.

She never asked
For that before!

And a lump sum
To cover emotional counseling

And other hardships
Of say, $10,000.

Plus, krikorian,

The 5,000 in fees
Already awarded me by the court,

And let's say another
1,000 each month

Until this affair
Is finally settled.

Oh, right, why don't you just
Ask for the impossible

So we never get into court.

You make a grand a month

While we sit around waiting
For a court date.

You want a blank check?
I'll write it!

Look,

Let's just get this over with,

Not for my sake,
But for sally's.

She has a baby on the way,

And I'm sure this is hell
On her.

I will talk to you, krikorian,

When you're ready
To talk seriously,

But not to your client,
And he's damn lucky

That I'm not suing
Him personally for assault.

I don't really need
That $10,000 in cash.

What did he say?

Nothing that would serve
Your interests, mrs. Centorini.

He's doing what we
Call "Churning the case,"

Creating delays,
Keeping your wife off balance,

Generating a lot of fees.

He does it to a hundred clients
A year.

Now, if we offer him
300 a month support--

No. No maybes. No maybes.

I'll give him everything,
A blank check,

Anything to end this right now.

Crocker, yeah, this is richie.

I need you guys
To help me do something.

Mr. Coughlin, I think
You better come out here quick.

What the hell is this doing
In my office, centorini?

You want everything I have,
Right? Well, here it is.

Come on.
We'll meet you downstairs.

- get it out of here.
- no, no, no.

I'm giving it to you.

What's the matter? It's no good
Unless you steal it?

Here you go.

And if you don't think that's
Everything, a blank check.

Help yourself.
It's good for 600 at best,

And it's all the blood
I got, coughlin.

No, you have a boat
That's insured for 10,000

Which you don't set foot on
Again after this weekend.

Oh, yeah? Well,
I don't care how much paper

You slap on the boat, coughlin,
'cause after tomorrow,

It's not gonna be there,
You understand?

And good luck trying to find it!

Have fun!

Get me a private line.

Alvin, this is coughlin.

I want us to meet.

There's a cafe at the corner
Of 6th and 23rd.

I want a thorough job,
And I want it done tonight.

A boat.

I don't know.

A boat, a building,
What's the difference?

A boat rocks.

You could retire on the
Business I've thrown your way.

All right.
Tonight.

Pots and pans
And knives and forks,

Beds, you just
Dumped it right in his office?

And tv dinners, light bulbs,
Shaving cream, everything.

Yeah, well,
I like the gesture, richie,

But look,

I got to admit that the strain
Is showing in other areas.

Let's face it, reports
That are weeks late,

All those hours
Spent on personal matters?

I'll fight any suggestion
Of a leave.

Wait a minute.
Don't jump the gun.

I'm really sorry, lieutenant.

I know you're just
Trying to help me.

Everybody is.
I just don't know anymore.

- maybe I should take a leave.
- no.

You know what you ought to do?

You ought to throw yourself 110%
Into a case like you used to.

That way you'll get your mind
Off personal matters.

All right.
I'll try, lieutenant.

I catch a good case,
I'll really try.

This is all we could salvage,

But it's in pretty
Good condition considering.

I.D.?

A driver's license
In the name of alvin kettle,

And this slip of paper
Might be of interest to you.

It looks like a code
Of some kind.

Did I hear him say kettle,

The guy we almost nailed
In the bowling alley fire?

Yeah, one
Of new york's busiest torchmen

Blew out his own pilot light.

Now, what's he doing
On your boat, richie?

- you tell me, lieutenant.
- no, you tell me,

Because if kettle
Doesn't bungle this job,

Some guy in some pretty
Tough financial straits

Stands to collect how much
Insurance?

10,000.

And you know what,
Lieutenant, off the record,

I feel like punching you
Right in the face.

Thank god, 'cause hearing
That makes me trust you

A whole lot more than if you'd
Come up with a quick alibi.

All right, you wanted a case
You can sink your teeth into,

You take this one.

Lieutenant, if I'm a suspect,

They're gonna call you
On the carpet for this.

- you know that.
- yeah, well, look,

If you did it,

You'll hang yourself trying
To frame somebody else.

What am I gonna tell you?

You sure that's not
What you really believe?

I'm gonna take kettle's piece
Of paper here,

Figure out the code.

If your name pops up on it,
You'll be the first to know.

Now, give me a clue, richie,
Who's your first suspect here?

Coughlin, right?

Boat goes down,
Explosion in the bilge,

And he collects 10 grand

On the insurance
He had attached right away.

I swear, lieutenant,

If I find coughlin had anything
To do with it--

Hey, richie, don't lynch him,
Build a case.

Guess what.

I was up in records
When centorini came in.

Centorini, for what?

Copies of every court date
You've had in the last year.

Names and addresses
Of every client.

What's he want that for?

That's a good question.

Could be the name
Of some person he met.

Frank, what's the most
Common place

Where numbers represent letters?

- the phone.
- right.

All right, we got 23,

That's second button,
Third letter "C".

Next button would be
The sixth, third letter "O".

82, that's "U".

Add them all up together,
They don't spell mother.

They spell coughlin.

So 3:00 wednesday afternoon,

The day before kettle tries
To scuttle centorini's boat,

Kettle has a meeting
With coughlin.

Mm. It's pretty juicy, frank.

Have richie check out every
Place they hung out together.

We might get lucky
At one of them come up

With a reliable witness
Who saw them together.

I'll go see coughlin,

Find out what his alibi
Was for that afternoon.

Don't let on to him
That we have any suspicions,

And warn richie to do the same,

And larry morton.

You warn the whole squad,
Frank.

Of course, there's not one of
Them won't try to help richie.

Lieutenant,

Your detective is embarrassing,
Acting in an irrational manner.

Now, if you
Can't discipline him,

Then I'm gonna be forced to take
Him to court for harassment.

Why would he want
To harass you, mr. Coughlin?

Come on, lieutenant.

I represent his enemy

Just as you represent the enemy
To all those little crooks

Out there. It's a job.

It's a racket.

Hell hath no fury
Like a woman's scorn.

You carry that scorn
All the way to the bank.

Who was the last couple
You helped bring together,

Mr. Coughlin?

Lieutenant, more than half
The marriages in this country

End up in divorce.

Now if people are so stupid
And careless that they can't

Protect what was once considered
A sacred relationship,

Then as far as I'm concerned,
They're fair game.

Then what you're saying
That it's fair game

For me to shoot any shoplifter
On sight, right?

What do you want, lieutenant?

Well, maybe you're right
About centorini, coughlin.

You know, he's under a big,
Big strain.

He said certain things to me

Which--
Not that I think he's lying,

But I think maybe he
Doesn't remember correctly,

And here's your chance
To help for once.

Wednesday afternoon at 3:00,

Um, the day before he tried to--

The day before his boat
Blew up--

He said he was with you,
And I've got reason

To believe that he was involved
In something else.

He says he was with you
In your office from 3:00

Until a little after 4:00.

That's impossible, lieutenant.

I wasn't even in my office from
2:30 until a little before 5:00.

You can check with my secretary.

Centorini left here at 2:15.

Hm.

He swore under oath.

Well, I guess I better
Send a man down here

To get a statement
From your secretary.

Any time,
Lieutenant, any time.

May be good
To have a secondary witness.

Um, could I get a statement
From somebody you were with?

2:30 wednesday, I slipped off
To a girlfriend's house

For a coffee break.

Oh, could I have her name?

Sorry, she's married.

Oh.

You know,

I like the way you respect
These sacred relationships.

If you come to my office,
Would you call first?

You'll feel right at home.

We got cockroaches.

Now, 3:00 wednesday afternoon,

Kettle
Has a meeting with coughlin.

And at 3:00 wednesday afternoon,

Coughlin can't come up
With an alibi.

Is that a coincidence or what?

You kidding, lieutenant?

Take a look at this.

Out of the 108 cases
Handled by coughlin

And his associates last year,
There's four names to remember.

Wilson, leary, rembeck,
And warren, okay?

Now, take a look
At the list of arsons last year

For which kettle
Was the number one suspect.

Four of them involve property
Belonging to guess who,

Wilson, leary, rembeck, warren.

And each one got an insurance
Windfall which coughlin

Ripped off heavily
In the settlements for the wives

In an average fee intermission
Of $21,000.

Mm-hmm.

So misery just doesn't love
Company, with coughlin,

Misery is a company.

Anybody have any idea
How kettle met coughlin?

Not a one, lieutenant.

We can't find anybody
That can put the two

Of them together at any time,

But we still got the guys
Working on it.

Well,
If we go to the d.A.'s office

With what we got,

And we ask for a warrant
To bring coughlin

Before the grand jury, they'll
Laugh us out of the office,

And there's no way that we can
Make him swear to where he was.

Lieutenant,
If he gets away with this--

Look, richie,
Hiring an arsonist

Who kills himself
During the commission

Of a crime, that's a murder act
Facing coughlin.

I admit, it's a tough case,

But you're a tough detective,
Right?

So want coughlin, crack it.

When did you find this out,
Frank?

Just now.

Me and rizzo finally
Got a search warrant

And went over to kettle's
Apartment about an hour ago,

And this check, lieutenant,
Was inside his mailbox

In an envelope,
And it wasn't mailed.

It was just slipped inside.

Could have been there
A couple of days.

Pay to the order of alvin
Kettle five hundred dollars,

Signed richard centorini.

Dated the day before kettle
Blew himself up.

Called internal affairs
About ten minutes ago.

They'll get on the case
Tomorrow.

Yeah.

You wanted to see me?

Didn't you say something
About making out a blank check

- to coughlin the other day?
- yeah, it was a gesture.

Take all I got,
There is no more.

What, is this a joke?

Who filled this in?

Where'd you find it?

Kettle's mailbox.

Wait a minute.

It's--somebody think
I wrote kettle a check?

A check? What, am I crazy?

Coughlin did this.

- it has to be him.
- why?

Oh, come on,
You know I'm being framed.

I called the guy
A shyster right to his face.

He can't exactly like me
For that.

Okay, I'll stick my neck out
Because I believe you,

But there isn't a jury
In the country,

Including internal affairs,

Not gonna pin
This whole thing on you.

Conspiracy to commit arson,
Homicide.

Hey, richie, you better have
A case against this coughlin.

I'm sorry, lieutenant,
I got nothing.

Three assaults and two rapes,
Right?

They're between 3:00 and 5:00
In the afternoon last wednesday.

Yeah, thanks.

Stavros, you get a chance
To make those calls for me?

Yeah, where'd I put them?

There they are.

There you go.

On the afternoon of wednesday
The 1st, the arson division

Reported three suspicious fires
In manhattan.

During the same period,

There were five purse
Snatchings, two armed robberies,

One homicide domestic
And three hit and runs.

Any fatalities?

They list here
One elderly victim hit by a car

On the corner of 72nd and 3rd.

- here.
- thanks.

Okay, larry.

Records, this is morton again,
Manhattan south.

I want the particulars
On a hit and run last wednesday.

How come larry's checking
On rapes and hit and runs?

Gee, I don't know.
Beats me, lieutenant.

I guess he must be
On to something.

Did the witness specify
A black car or a dark car?

Dark limousine heading uptown,
No passengers.

Thank you.

Yeah, dark limousine,
Hit and run, and you're acting

As if you'd just heard about
The yankees five months later.

What case you working on, larry?

Lieutenant, coughlin
Drives a deep brown cadillac.

That's a dark limousine, right?

And from his office
On broad street,

It's almost a straight drive
Up 3rd avenue.

Now, if the accident occurred
At 3:20 in the afternoon,

He had plenty of time
To make it up to 72nd street.

Accident?

Hey, we're not trying
To nail him for hit and run.

We're trying to find out
Where he met with kettle

That afternoon.

Lieutenant,

We haven't got one single lead
That connects them.

No place they were seen
Together.

Nothing.

Now, the only way we're gonna
Be able to help richie is

If we can get coughlin to tell
Us where he was that afternoon.

How are you gonna do that,
With a chinese water torture,

Lead pipes?

It's a little more
Like a frame.

Not on my squad.

But I'm not on your squad
Anymore, theo, remember?

Can I help you?

What do you
Mean can you help me?

This is my boat,
What's left of it anyway.

Lieutenant lawton,
Internal affairs.

We'll have to ask you
To stay off the vessel,

Centorini, until we
Can complete our investigation.

Oh, damn it,

I got an offer on this engine,
450 bucks, and I need it.

It's my job, centorini.

Nothing personal, sorry.

Richie.

Richie.

What are you doing here?

Another woman, richie,
Prettier without the big stomach

And the bad moods?

I could see you with her,
Lying to me.

I didn't,
Never even considered it.

So you didn't.

I did, but the dreamer?

Go back on her? Destroy her?

Coughlin said you did it.

Look at it, richie.

She was so beautiful
The first day

We took her out sailing
Under the brooklyn bridge

Wondering whether the mast
Would scrape or not.

Yeah, I remember that.

We only cleared it
By a couple hundred feet too.

It's ugly
Just like our dreams.

You couldn't do that to
Your boat, richie. I know that.

I couldn't do that
To our marriage, sally.

You remember?

That was the dream
That came first.

- what happened?
- something kicked me.

Oh, I'm the one
Who needs a kick.

Oh, richie,
After work, come home tonight.

Can I help you?

Hey, nadine.

I thought you got contacts?

You're squinting again
Like an old lady.

Come on, put on the glasses.

I like them.

Hey, larry!

What you doing here?

I thought you were
In florida chasing widows.

Aw, nadine, I'm 62.

Let them do the work,
Chase me for a change, huh?

Make you feel like 22 now
That you ain't the fuzz no more.

Aw thanks, but I need
A bigger favor than that.

Okay, larry,
You were fair by me.

I mean, you got my charges
Dropped when you retired,

Didn't pass me on
To the next cop.

Give you one more tip
On the house

If it's information I can get.

Well, it's not an informant
I need.

What I need is a witness
Who can identify this guy,

And say they saw him in here
Last wednesday afternoon

About, um, 4:00 should do it.

I never saw him in my life.

Nadine,

What I need is somebody to lie
For me to help me build a case,

A hit and run case,
Against this creep.

Um,
You mean me do this in court,

Hand on the bible?

Larry, some of us
Sinners still fear god, I mean,

Hand on a man, sure,

But on the bible, uh-uh.

Nadine, this guy
Is framing my partner.

Richie?
Who'd want to hurt him?

Were you ever married, nadine?

Twice.

First one was real rich,

But I didn't know about it
Until the divorce.

Any lawyers involved?

Are you kidding?

I mean, here was this sweet kid,
19, I met him in fort gordon.

We got married.

He had this stuck up family,
Hired some big harvard lawyer.

Do you know what that stuffed
Shirt called me?

A whore.

Just win the case, that's all.

He didn't care about people,
About feelings.

Well, nadine,

This guy is a lawyer
Who's a little worse than that.

You want to hear
The whole story?

Sure.

Love a good hate.

You make a citizen's arrest
On that kind of evidence,

He's gonna sue you for
Every cent in your pension plan,

And you're gonna end
Up waxing his cars.

And how's he gonna do that?

Only one way, by proving where
He was that wednesday afternoon.

In order to do that, he's got
To tell us where he met kettle

And the witnesses that saw him.

Now, look,
It's my butt on the line.

I know what I'm doing.

Now, come on.

All right.

I'll play it.

Mrs. Centorini,
I asked you specifically

And repeatedly were
You committed to this divorce

Before you came in here,

And you assured me
Over and over--

Well, now I'm saying no,
Mr. Coughlin.

I've seen a very hard,
A very determined,

A very successful man up
Close in this office,

And my husband is a treasure
Compared to you.

Mr. Coughlin.

I didn't know
You were still coming here.

It's the last time, richie.

I have had it with these
Theatrics, do you understand?

You, sir, are trespassing
And will be arrested.

You are under arrest,
Mr. Coughlin, for the hit

And run killing of edna wallace.

This is a citizen's arrest.

Detective centorini is just here
To back me up.

A citizen's arrest.

He has the right.

These are dignified offices
With clients

Outside that respect me.

I will not be humiliated
This way.

Are you resisting arrest, sir?

Oh, you'll pay for this,
Centorini.

You'll really pay.

And here is the deposition

From the manager
Of the diplomat massage parlor.

It's dated about six blocks from
The scene of the hit and run

Stating that a man answering
Mr. Coughlin's description

Arrived there about five minutes
After the hit and run.

This is a statement
From william jones,

A witness at the scene
Who noted three numbers

On the license plate
Of the hit and run vehicle.

3-8-7.

Now, you notice
That those are the first numbers

On the license plates

Of the dark brown vehicle owned
By mr. Everett craig coughlin.

Didn't you tell larry morton
To stay out of manhattan south?

That's right, frank.

He's in the interrogation room
Right now with an attorney

From the d.A.'s office
And everett coughlin.

- sally centorini's lawyer?
- right.

Morton brought him in on a
Citizen's arrest, a hit and run.

He's trying to get the d.A.
To back him up with a warrant.

It's a frame, frank.

Here I have a photograph
Of the right front grill

Of mr. Coughlin's vehicle

Which I took in the parking lot
At about 5:30 this afternoon.

Now, you can see there's been
Recent damage to the grill

- and to the headlight.
- now that's--that's it!

Enough already!

Centorini did that the other day
When he threatened me.

Hi, morton,
Wait in the squad room.

Go ahead.

You're too late, lieutenant,

Because I not only have
A perfect case against morton,

But against you and others
In this department.

Now, I suppose you're gonna
Perjure yourself

And say that you had no idea
That this frame-up was planned.

Come on, coughlin. We have a
Highly emotional situation here.

You know, men with loyalties
Who made a mistake

In judgment against orders,

And I promise you we'll deal
With it in this department.

No. We'll deal with it
In a court of law.

I promise you that.

Where do we stand on this,
Weeks?

Well, if coughlin can prove
He was nowhere near the scene

Of the hit and run,

Then morton faces felony charges
For filing a false report,

And also there are civil suits,

Along with conspiracy

And negligence charges
Against the department

And quite possibly
Yourself and the captain.

Mr. Weeks, draw up
A statement for me to sign

Because at 3:10 which is
Approximately the time

That this frame-up
Has me up town,

I was some 50 blocks away.

Can that be confirmed?

I parked my car
In a parking lot on the corner

Of 6th and 23rd.

They'll have a stub

With the time of day
And my license number on it.

There was an attendant, red
Haired, who'd admired my car.

He'll remember me perfectly.

Can anyone else
Place you at the scene?

I had a date with a young lady

Whose identity
I don't need to bring into this.

- stavros.
- yeah.

Get down to a parking lot
At 23rd and 6th,

And make it fast.

Check out all the bars.

Check out all the immediate
Vicinity where this coughlin

Really might have been,
And take a picture of kettle,

Take a picture of coughlin,
And then pray for a witness

That might have
Spotted them together.

Yes, sir.

What you
Did in there's unforgivable.

What coughlin did to richie
Was even worse.

That's still no excuse!

Not only did you put a noose
Around your neck,

You put a noose around richie's
Neck and the whole department's.

Which I gave coughlin
Every opportunity to pull

Which I knew he couldn't resist
Which means

That maybe we have a witness
Who saw him with alvin kettle,

And that means the noose
Strangles coughlin and not us.

That's still unforgivable,
Morton.

I know that, lieutenant.

Look, I spent 30 years
On the force,

And never for one moment

Did I do anything
But play on the up and up.

I'm--I'm sorry.

Hey, look, I hope
This coughlin hangs himself,

But if he does, what I told you
Before still stands.

Stay out of manhattan south,
Understand?

I understand, lieutenant.

Um, you're right.

Yeah.

Lieutenant, I got a waitress
In a restaurant

Around the corner
From the parking lot

Who definitely saw kettle
And coughlin together

For at least 30 minutes.

You know,
They were cozy talking,

Passing notes and stuff.

Yeah, we got him for sure.

Got him.

Oh, good work, stavros.

Thanks.

Who's in there now?

Coughlin's--
Jerry smith.

If he talks,
They've got an earful.

That better have been
A stonewall, jerry.

Kettle's death
Is a murder rap, coughlin.

When they gave me immunity
In there, I washed my hands.

That's the way it goes.

Is our waitress here?

Miss thompson?

- right this way, miss thompson.
- wait a sec.

How's it going in there?

A grand jury?

You know I can't say anything
To anybody,

But nobody said
I couldn't smile.

All you had to do
Was keep your mouth shut,

And larry morton's case would
Have fallen apart all by itself.

You did it to yourself,
Coughlin, and you know it.

Well, I got the best team
Of lawyers in the east.

They'll beat the case.

Oh.

Well, let's see.

Conspiracy to commit arson,

Homicide during the course
Of a crime, forgery,

Planting false evidence,
Etcetera.

Boy, they got to be geniuses
To beat that.

For 500 bucks an hour,
That's just what they are.

Oh, let's see,
My men get 8 bucks an hour,

And they nailed you.

You're finished, coughlin,
And I love it.

Mm.

Hey, lieutenant.

All right,
What do you got there?

Heh, heh. Champagne.

For the launching?

That won't be
For a very long time.

What?

I thought the baby
Was due any day.
