"No bodyguards." "Linardi knew these guys." "So, what do you figure?" "Tommy and some pals have words over pinochle, things got out of hand?" "Yeah, unless the bodyguards were in on it." "There's a blood trail out to the back alley." "There's another victim." "This guy didn't do any crawling." "Let's get an F.A.T.N. Out..." " to the other squads and do a hospital canvas, okay?" " Okay, John." " What do you got?" " Tommy's using secondhand appointment books." "A.M."" " This was in there?" " Yeah." "Now, this is what ambition's all about, John." "This is how the cream rises to the top." "Tommy wanted to be the first baboon on the block to carry a briefcase." "Here, look at this." ""Racing Form."" "Here's some discount supermarket coupons... and some New Year's Eve party crap." "Oh, hey, here it is, a TVGuide crossword puzzle." "Three-letter word meaning 'feline,"' and Tommy already had the last letter." "What do you think?" "A. M..." "Angelo Marino?" "Yeah." "I don't know." "Maybe." "You want me to voucher that for Intelligence?" "No." "You know what?" "Let me, uh, hold onto it." "I'll do it when we get back, all right?" "What do you say?" "We ought to canvas the area?" "The outfit hit, the neighbors gotta be bursting with stories, huh?" "Yeah." "Yeah, let's do that." "It's a hell of a way to start the New Year, huh, Tommy?" "Anything on the crime scene?" "Has Lastarza showed up?" "Yeah, okay." "I'll be in in a couple hours." "Yeah." "They're ready to start." "So, are we going in now?" "Yeah." "Let's go in." "When I was arrested," "I didn't want Maceo with all the social services and foster homes, so I asked the lieutenant if he would take care of my son, and he said he'd keep Maceo with his family... till I finished the detox program." "Now I'm through with detox, but he-he don't want to give Maceo back." "My understanding is the lieutenant has only asked... for a 60-day stay before you resume custody." "Judge, I'm through with the program." "I'm ready to pick up my life." "I'm ready to be a good mother." "I can't do that if I don't have my son with me." "Lieutenant Fancy, would you like to make a statement?" "Yes, Your Honor." "My wife and I wholly support Ms. Williams'efforts... to rehabilitate herself." "We recognize her parental standing." "We filed this petition only because we're concerned... she's at too early a point in her recovery... to resume her custody of Maceo." "Particularly to move him to South Carolina." "Your Honor, before Maceo came to us, he hadn't seen a doctor or dentist in four years." "He was a constant truant." "Now he's doing his homework, enjoying school." "He's eating properly." "By his mother's own account, he seems happier than he's been in years." "Maceo responds to the stability of our home environment." "I also believe..." "I'm glad and grateful that I can be a good role model for him." "He's never had a father or a stable paternal figure to look up to." "And, so, I would like to be able..." "My wife and I would like to continue that for a little while longer... while Sherilee continues the admirable progress she's making." "That was the promise I made to her... when she was brought into the station house... that I would look after her son while she got well." "Thank you." "Maceo, do you have anything you'd like to say about all these people that want you?" "Yes." "I'd like to stay here where I'm at, with Mr. And Mrs. Fancy." "Your mother says she's ready to take care of you now." "She's said that before." "I mean it this time, Maceo." "You know, I'm afraid you're still sick, Mama." "And I don't know if I could take care of you as good as where you're at." "Thank you, Maceo." "I'll take this under advisement." "Come on." " What have we got?" " Public lewdness, Sarge." "It's January, and it's short-sleeve weather." " It's 80 degrees outside." " So where's your shirt?" "Where is my shirt?" " I'm buck naked!" " Oh, come on." "Hey, all aboard for Coney Island!" " Whoo-whoo!" " Come on." "Here we go." "All right." "Please keep me notified." "Any wound related to a weapon discharge." "Right." "Yeah, that's right." "Anything that looks like a gunshot wound." "Detective Kelly, Detective Sipowicz at the 15th Squad." "Right." "Thank you." " Detective." " Inspector." " Lieutenant Fancy's out?" " Yeah, he'll be back in a little while." "You caught the Linardi case?" "Yeah, Detective Sipowicz and I did." "Could you run it for me, please?" "Sure." "Uh, nothing off the crime scene or the canvas." "Located a stolen car about two blocks away." "Had a gun in it." "Dusted the car and the gun for prints, but found a discarded pair of gloves on the sidewalk near the car, so we're not too optimistic about the lift." " Anything on your end?" " Nothing substantive." " Looks like an O.C. Hit though, no?" " Yes, it does." "Yeah." "Well, we'll keep you apprised then." "Thanks." "So that would be full cooperation from the Organized Crime Unit?" " Absolutely." " Excuse me while I lay a loaf." "A minute for me, Officer?" "Off your account of the Christmas party, your buddy Richie and the guy with him are suspects in the Linardi shooting." " I haven't heard from Richie." " We need the other guy's name." " He never gave it up." " We can't make him off our surveillance photos." "It's too bad they don't wear name tags, huh?" "I want you to keep me apprised of the investigation upstairs." " Here?" " They're not telling me dick." "If they have anything, I wanna know about it." "Hey, Inspector, you drafted me to get to Tommy Linardi." " Well, now he is dead..." " Officer, you're out when I say you're out." "I won't rat on my own people." "I'm telling you, you are not out yet." " You're a prick." " Keep your ears open." " You working on the Linardi shooting?" " Yeah." "Okay." "This work I've been doing for Lastarza..." "I went to a Christmas party, and Linardi stiffed a couple guys... on their year-end crime-exploit bonus, and they were really pissed." "One of the guys I didn't get a name on..." "he's kind of an N.D. Guy." "He's six feet, dark hair." "He's from out of town." " What about the other guy?" " It's Richie, Linardi's runner." " The guy from the pay phone?" "Did you get a last name?" " Yeah." " C-A-T-E-N-A." " What about an address, a phone number?" " He always called me." " Okay." "I can get it off his P.C.I." " Is Lastarza on this?" " Yeah." "Hard." "Okay." "He told me he didn't have any leads." "Well, you didn't hear this from me, John." " Say, how are you?" " Good." "How are you?" " We need to talk later, okay?" " About what?" "About some of the stuff in the Linardi effects." "Thanks for your help." " Ouch!" " You like the sport coat." " I'm Detective Martinez." " I've been robbed." "Somebody took all the money out of my checking account." "I didn't know where else to go." "My bank doesn't open for another hour." " Come on, have a seat." " Thanks." " What's your name?" " Frederick Converse." "It's not gonna make you feel any better, Mr. Converse, but we've had people in since yesterday afternoon, all got robbed the same way." " You use that A.T.M. At the Pathmark minimall?" " Yes." "See, that was a fake A.T.M." "The thieves rigged it to read the codes on your card, then they ran out on your checking account." "What am I supposed to do?" "I'm completely broke." "When the bank opens, go down and make out what's called..." " an Affidavit of Fraud." " And they'll give me my money back?" "We think there's gonna be some restitution, but it may take a little time." "The bank's got insurance for when credit cards get stolen and so forth, or there was fraud involved in one of their machines." "See, but, actually, this wasn't their machine." "Look, I have to write a rent check." "I don't know where I'm gonna get the money for my groceries." "You're gonna have to coordinate that part with the bank." "If you go with Miss Abandando to the 124 room, she'll show you how to draw up the complaint." "In other words, I'm screwed." "Well, we're following up a few leads." "Miss Abandando, could you take Mr. Converse downstairs and help like you did with the others?" " Sure." "This way." " Thanks." "How's this A.T.M. Thing going?" "We got a partial plate on that rental van that picked up the fake A.T.M." "We're working off of that." " I feel bad for these people." " Yeah." " Hey." " What's up?" "We got a tip on the Linardi hit." "Seems this soldier, Richie Catena, was pissed off at him." " Where'd we get that?" " Anonymous call." "Somebody dropped a dime." "All it took was for me to go to the crapper." " We got an address on this Richie?" " I ran him through B.C.I." " You wanna sit on his house?" " I wanna go sit on his house." "Hey, John, I'm putting together that Linardi stuff for Intelligence." "They're gonna come tomorrow and pick it up." "Could you voucher that notebook?" " I will definitely get it in." " Where's the guy live?" " Staten Island." " That figures." " Okay." "Are you finished?" " Yeah, I'm done." " Wonderful dinner." " Thank you, sweetheart." "Oh, we've embarrassed Maceo." "Deal with it." "Will you help me with my math?" "I'm sick of helping her." "She should do her own homework." "I do it." "I just want you to check it for me." " Is your homework done?" " Yeah." " You want me to look at it?" "Excuse me." "Hello." "This is he." "When?" "All right." "Is everyone almost finished?" " I'm finished." "May I be excused?" " Yeah." " May I be excused?" " Mm-hmm." "Come on." "I'll help you with your math." "Well, that was the social service representative on the phone." "I have to go back to my mom?" "The judge decided she's ready to take care of you again." "When do I have to go?" "She's gonna pick you up tomorrow after school." "May I be excused?" "Yeah." "Lieutenant Fancy." "Hi." "You dropped him off?" "Did you see him go in?" "Oh, all right." "Um..." "Let me know if you hear anything." "Inspector." "It's good to find you at work." "You've had two detectives sitting on a house at Staten Island... for the past 19 hours." "Kelly and Sipowicz." "They were acting on an anonymous tip in the Linardi case." " I authorized the surveillance." " Why wasn't I informed?" "The surveillance was unproductive." "And evidently you were informed." " Not by your people." " Meaning you were set up in a building out there, Inspector?" "That suggests a live lead." "I thought you told Detective Kelly you didn't have any leads." "You stay off Richie Catena." "When do I get to look at the Linardi effects?" "My understanding from Detective Medavoy... is that Linardi's briefcase was filled with want ads and discount coupons." "We're sending them to Intelligence." "I'm sure they'll forward them for your evaluation." "Lieutenant Fancy." "Yeah." "Mm-hmm." "Just make sure you get me the reports by the end..." "You stay off Richie Catena." "Seems he wasn't around, Inspector." "You looking for him too?" "All right." "Who's first in the shower?" "Yeah, you go ahead." "I'll get the coffee." "Hey, John." "John, I hate to rush on this notebook," " but, uh, I'm putting the Linardi package together." " What did I say to you yesterday?" "You said you'd voucher it and get it in before..." "And that's what I'm gonna do, okay?" "Okay, okay, okay." "How about we talk about this 800-pound gorilla standing in front of us?" "What's in Marino's book?" "Licalsi's name is in that book." "Marino had her old man." "He let her know about it and then used it to blackmail them." "What did she do for him?" "It turns out she didn't do anything for him." "But she turned herself in to Lastarza." "He put her undercover to clear her books." "I'd hate to have that guy holding paper on me." "I can't figure out if what Lastarza's doing is official or on the side." "But if her name comes out in that book, I don't think he's gonna stand up for her." " Sipowicz and Kelly." " Lieutenant." "I caught a break on that A.T.M. Investigation." "The truck we had a partial plate on, they found it abandoned on Bronx River Parkway." "That fake A. T.M. Machine was in the weeds a couple hundred yards away." "That kid leases the truck." " He give us anything?" " I'm gonna talk to him." "Good." "Look, uh, I gotta go out." "If anything breaks on the Linardi investigation, save me a little grief and let Lastarza know." "Okay." "You all right, Lieutenant?" "The kid Lilly and I are looking after, he ditched school." "Just got picked up for shoplifting." "You got yourself a situation with that girl, John." "Yeah." "You know, this wouldn't be the first page somebody tore out of a book." "Thanks." " You're Eric, right?" " Mm-hmm." "I'm Detective Martinez." "You got no rap sheet, huh, Eric?" " No prior arrests?" " No." "Your first time seeing cops, my first time being a detective." "Don't make it too tough on me, all right, Eric?" "Uh, I don't know what I'm doing here." "You leased a truck the cops found abandoned out by the Bronx River Parkway..." "It wasn't abandoned." "It broke down." " I was gonna get it repaired." " And there's this A.T.M. Machine, which they found in the weeds a couple hundred yards away, which is a phony machine, which a lot of people got robbed off of in the last few days." "That machine read the PI N numbers and the secret codes off the bank cards, and then someone emptied out those people's bank accounts." " I don't know anything about it." " Eric, you use that truck to take care of shrubbery and so on?" " Landscape?" " Yeah." "So what?" "So you service the Pathmark where someone set that A.T.M. Up." "Then the A.T.M.'s found abandoned 200 yards from your truck." "Look, I service a lot of businesses." "Indoor plants, tree trimming, even trash hauling." "It's how I put myself through school." "I don't know anything about any A.T.M." " Where do you go to school?" " Uh, N.Y.U." " What year you in over there?" " Uh, junior." "Must be some schedule, huh?" "Hold down a job, work for a degree." " Yeah." " What do you major in over there?" " Uh, applied engineering." "It's..." " Applied engineering, huh?" "Good for you." "Eric, you take any computer courses?" "Look, I didn't do this." "Somebody did, Eric." "And so far, you sure look like a candidate." "Right over here." "I'm looking for Detective Kelly or Sipowicz." "I'm Detective Sipowicz." "I was told you're connected with the, uh, Linardi homicide." " No." "Here, this way." " I'm a physician." " L-I don't know how this happened." " Right in here." "What are we talking about?" "Have a seat." "I got in over my head." "I mean..." "I thought..." "I eat a lot at Gianinni's." "I got to know some of the fellas." "I hung out with them a little bit." " Fellas" being criminals." " Right." "Right." "I socialized with them a little." "L..." "I guess I thought it was glamorous." "Yeah, well, they're very glamorous people." "Anyhow, a fella last night, uh, was injured." " Wounded?" " Wounded, yes." "He was shot twice." "He wouldn't go to the hospital." "And I treated him." "You realize that's a felony, Doc... a physician giving aid like that in a shooting incident and not reporting it?" " You could lose your license." " I'm reporting it now." "That's what I'm doing here." "I'm ashamed of what I did." "You don't know the sacrifices that my wife and parents went through... to put me through school, and when I was setting up a practice..." "Anyhow, they called me again about him a half hour ago." " The fellas." " It sounds like the guy I treated is in bad shape." "He's got a septic process going on." "I'm sure there's a wound infection." "He was hemorrhaging in the belly when I saw him." " Is he still there at Gianinni's?" " Yeah." " Did you get a name on him?" " I don't know his last name." "His first name is Richie." " Come on, Richie, talk to us." " I talked to you guys." " I told you to go screw yourselves." " Richie," "I'm Inspector Anthony Lastarza, head of the Organized Crime Task Force." " How do you do?" "Screw you too." " Hey!" " Hands off." "You think you're gonna make some kind of miraculous recovery, Richie?" "Huh?" "You're not." "Who shot you?" "Who shot Tommy Linardi?" "I'll tell you what, man." "Go askJerry Frumento." " Is that who shot you?" " Ask Jerry." "He's at his girlfriend's." "1 King Street, number 216." "Gina Zarone." "Did Jerry shoot Tommy Linardi?" "Who knows about those things?" "Listen." "Listen, when you get with Jerry, you tell him I banged his girlfriend." "You tell Jerry Gina had me over Christmas Eve, and I banged her." "Her mouth was open so wide screaming, I saw her tonsils." "You tell him that, you hear me?" "Get away." "He's in arrest." "I can't keep these sons of bitches alive!" "It's a real bitch, huh?" "They're dropping like flies." "Let's get some epi drawn up." "Call base and tell them we have an arrest..." "Are you not gonna talk till it's time for you to leave?" " I wanted a tie." " Baloney." "Then I guess I wanted to steal something." "I know you better, Maceo." "When your mother was taking you into stores like that, making you steal things to sell for drugs, you didn't want to do it, and you don't want to do it now." "Remember what you said the first time you were brought in with your mother, asking if I'd help, saying you wanted to live a different way?" "I remember." "You didn't want to steal, did you, Maceo?" "I thought if I got arrested I could stay up here." "Maceo," "I don't want you to leave New York either." "But things don't always go the way we want." "And when they don't, you still gotta obey the rules." " You still gotta be a man." " I don't know about being a man!" "You were showing me about that." "You know, I wanted to stay with you." "I don't never get what I want." "Never yet." "You are getting a citizen's complaint filed on this... and a civilian harassment lawsuit." " Yeah, yeah." " People still got rights in this city..." " last time I looked it up, regardless of who they date." " Lieutenant." " I know my rights." " Jerry is not in the apartment." "This is the girlfriend." "Is it okay that Lastarza's in there with us?" "Yeah." "If you got it in your minds that I'm gonna be cooperating with you, then your minds must be up your asses with the rest of your heads." " Gina, you eat with that mouth?" " That's one of the things I do with it." "You know your boyfriend Jerry's a button guy, Gina?" " I wouldn't know what you were talking about." " Oh, you wouldn't, huh?" "All right." "I'll tell you." "He shoots people for money." "We got a farewell message forJerry, Gina." " It's from his buddy Richie." " Richie?" "Who would that be?" "That would be Richie Catena, who said to letJerry know... that he spent Christmas Eve bouncing around in your goonyah." "I'm unfamiliar with that terminology or the Richie in question." "You think Jerry's gonna be upset at all, Gina?" "You letting out his parking space for casual use?" " Jerry knows me better than that." " Yeah?" "You don't sound too convinced." "Maybe he knows you just right." "I'm not gonna end up in some stupid courtroom three years from now, waiting to rat and wondering when I'm gonna get a bullet in my ear." "I am not giving upJerry." "Okay, listen to me." "This is not testimony." "You're not going on the record." "But we want an address so we can grab him up." "For which I get what?" "A good citizenship belt?" "For which maybe we'll scare you up a grand." "A grand, huh?" "Forget about it." "A grand, Gina, to get you out of a town that's dead for you." "Your boyfriend is going to the joint, and your fallback hump is D.O.A." "What if I could only give you, like, a geographical area?" "You mean like on a map, Gina?" "No, that's not gonna make it." "Look, the guy is a psycho." "He never tells me exactly where he's staying." "It's one of the hotels by the park where you get in those stupid horse carriages." "You don't have enough manpower." "I'll have my people hit all those hotels... with his picture, show it to the desk clerks and doormen." "This works out of my office, Inspector." "Fine, fine." "I'll get it going." "What are we gonna charge this guy on?" "You can question him on Linardi getting shot... and this Richie Catena." " You said Catena didn't make any direct accusation." " Not that you could use in court." "He gave us an address." "Told us to tell the guy he balled his girlfriend." "Let's get your ex-wife to look at his picture." "Okay." "I think she's in the 27 today." "Let's get her down here." "Maybe this guy was involved with Giardella." " Okay." " Let me see does this sewer-mouth Gina... remember the guy being in town when Giardella got whacked." " You okay with calling Laura?" " Yeah." "Got a minute?" "I'm gonna talk to this A.T.M. Suspect again." "I got plenty on him, but it doesn't make sense he ran the show." " Why?" " He's a working-class kid on a white-collar scam." " It feels like he's out of his element." " Think somebody put him up to it?" " Yeah." "I think I can get him to roll." " Okay." "I gotta make a call." " Work on that class angle." "It's a good idea." " Okay, thanks." "That's what I was thinking." "You doing okay?" "Did you use the phone yet?" "My mother wants to know if I'm going to be arrested." "I don't know yet." "I'm still trying to put you together, Eric." "You got a full-time job to pay your way through school." "Plus, you got dirt under your fingernails from all the landscaping." "And you keep up your courses at school." "Those were always the guys in my neighborhood I had the most respect for." "Running from classes to job and back." "I took the easy way out." "I left the school part out." "Anyway, that's the one guy that does things the right way." "Then there's the guy who builds high-tech gizmos... to break into people's checking accounts." "I guess that could be the same guy." "Except how come you never took the easy way out before?" "Eric, I'm gonna make this case." "Your chance of making a positive deal is never gonna be better than this minute." "You're a hard-working kid." "You got a life in front of you." "You could save that life right now." "He offered me $4,000." "That's more money than I make in three months." "He told me no one was gonna lose any money." "You got a name for me, Eric?" "Yeah." "I'll give you his name." "Thanks for coming in, Sherilee." "Last time I talked to you here, I was so loaded I don't remember how I left." "Please, have a seat." "I wanted to tell you this without Maceo around." "He got caught shoplifting today." " Is he arrested?" "Where is he?" " He's not arrested." "I got the store manager to release in my custody." "Why would he do that?" "Before, he only stole for me." "I think he was sending a message... that even if it means getting caught up in the system, he'd rather stay here than leave." "I'm asking you to hear that message, Sherilee." "Now, whatever you decide, I want to support you." "But I'm asking you to delay your plans." "Man, I can't do that." "Lieutenant, I got relatives in South Carolina... who've never even seen Maceo, and he-he'll like them." "He'd like them just as much in two months." "I got a full-time job waiting for me." "I'm registered for therapy down there." "I'm ready to go." "Lieutenant, I'm always gonna be grateful... to you for helping me and Maceo." "I know it wasn't me made you do it." "You saw something in him." "But I'm his mama, and I'm ready to do my part." "I know better than anybody detox was the easy part of my recovery." "Let me get on with the rest." "Okay." "I'll see you tonight." "Why weren't these photographs in the files I looked at before?" "These are some out-of-town people." "You have new information on someone?" "Is there someone in particular I'm looking for?" "I think your former wife's got eyes for your job, Detective." "Just take your time." " You recognize someone, Ms. Michaels?" " Maybe." " What do you mean maybe"?" " That means she's not sure." " That's him." " Who?" "The window washer who shot Giardella." "This one's mine." "You know what?" "Let's go outside." "Come on." "Come on, let's go." "Go." "15th Detective Squad." "One moment, please." "Lieutenant, line one." "Given the history, you should stay out of it." "Fancy." " Where we going?" " Outside so we can talk... without this asshole Lastarza around." " Lastarza doesn't enter into it." " Let's go outside the building." " You're worried about me." " Yeah, I'm worried about you." "This is testimony." "This is risk." " You have to be absolutely sure about this." " Johnny, I'm absolutely sure." " Get away from my witness." " Excuse us." "This is a private conversation." " I said get away from her." " They've got him trapped on the roof at the Carey Hotel." " Start the car. - Where?" " The Carey Hotel." " You saw what you saw." " I gotta go." "Andy's gonna take your statement." "I'll talk to you later." "Okay, Johnny." "Bye." "Start the car." "Start the damn car!" "You all right?" "Can you hear me all right now?" " Yeah, I can hear you." " I hear you good too." "Yeah, well, you listen to me, all right?" "I want out." "I want a bus to the airport... and a plane that takes me to Brazil." "Someplace with no extradition." "Jerry, listen to me." "It's Jerry, right?" " Yeah, right." " Jerry, I'm gonna tell you something... you have to understand, okay?" "Forget about Brazil." "You're not walking away from this, Jerry." "You're gonna do time, but where you do time is something we can talk about." "You tired?" "You hot?" "You want a cold drink or something?" " A Sprite." " A Sprite?" "I can do that." " Get him a Sprite." " Sure." " What's happening?" " He made it up here... across to that far staircase, ran into two uniforms on their way, turned, came back up here." "I gotta tell you, Lieutenant, with Laura being the only witness," "I don't mind this guy not getting off this roof." " I know that don't enter into it." " No, it doesn't enter into it." " Sharpshooters in position, Lieutenant." "All right." " Just stand by." "Yeah, Jerry, Jerry, think about it, okay?" "We care about what you know." "You can help yourself here, Jerry." "You think I could do the time at Eglin, that air force base, huh?" "My friends tell me they got a nice little minimum-security jail there." "What do you say we try and bring him in breathing?" "That's mostly up to him." "If it'll close him, tell him I'll authorize the deal now." " You can't do that without a D.A." " Don't tell me what I can and can't do, Kelly." "Hey, giving people away is your specialty, huh, Inspector?" "Sipowicz takes six bullets, and you're gonna turn him over anyway, right?" "Why don't you show your whole card, Kelly?" "What you're afraid of is your ex-wife will have to testify if this goes to trial." "That's right." "That's what I'm worried about." "What are you worried about?" "We know what you're worried about." "You're worried about your career." " Will the both of you just back off?" " Mm-hmm." "Here, give me that." "Jerry?" "What?" "Who's this?" "Jerry, listen." "I'm head of the Organized Crime Unit." "I can get you what you need." "Inspector, it's better if only one of us talks." "I think you get a lawyer up here now and sign what you're saying." "Uh, Jerry, that'll take a little time." "No good." " You guys are trying to pull some kind of game on me." " Damn!" "Son of a bitch!" "Jerry, Jerry, hey!" "Now, you just talk to me." "Well, I'm gettin' outta here!" "Me and my friend are going over to those stairs and walking down!" "Don't do anything yet." "Don't do anything yet." " I can turn this guy around." " Get away from me." " Give me a call on your sharpshooters." " Lieutenant..." "Get over here." "Give him a little room." " Nobody makes any mistakes!" " How's your line?" "Highly confident." "I want a car waiting downstairs!" " Anybody pulls anything, this guy's dead!" " Green light." "Sergeant White to all sharpshooters." "Green light." " We got him." " Stay clear." "Get down." "Son of a bitch." "I guess that's just your way of saying, Thank goodness that hostage is safe," huh?" " Laura." " Lieutenant." " You okay?" " I'm okay, yeah." "Yeah." "So that Jerry guy tried to escape with a hostage, huh?" "What a pity he took a bullet in the melon, huh?" "Detective, I took Eric Moore's statement." "Thank you, Ms. Michaels." "They just brought in the kid he rolled over on." " Joel Burleigh?" " Mm-hmm." "He's the one that put the whole scam together." "He built the A.T.M. Machine, set up the whole rip-off." "Go get him, James." "I've got to admit, I was willing to testify..." "I saw that guy shoot Giardella, but I am really glad I don't have to." "Yeah." "That's your being sensible, right?" "I gotta go do the workup on it now." "So when do I get this lunch you've been threatening?" " We'll find the time, okay?" " Mm-hmm." "Detective Martinez, Joel." "I guess you know what I want to talk to you about." " I can't help you, Pedro." " Come again?" "Talk to my lawyer." "Okay, Joel." "You asked for a lawyer." "That means I can't ask any questions." "I just wanna make sure you understand your situation." "That kid you hired, Eric?" "He gave you up." "We got you." "We know you put that machine together." "We know you ripped those people off." "Just so you're clear on that." "I guess your ears have got goo in them." "Okay, Joel." "Let's see if I can do a little mind reading." "You figure, How bad can this be?" "A college-boy prank." "Daddy's lawyer's gonna get me a little wrist slap."" "See, but, Joel, these are the sad cases newspapers love." "I missed my rent."" "I couldn't pay the diaper service."" "My checking account was stolen."" "I couldn't buy my medicine."" "Poor people being ripped off by a spoiled college kid." "You can have all the rich lawyers you want." "The judge is still gonna have to hurt you a little." "See, all I'm thinking is if you cooperate, you might be able to put a different spin on it." "You saw the error of your ways." "You want to make restitution." "See what I'm saying?" "No more talk." "I want my lawyer, now." "I'll tell you the truth." "I was hoping you would say that." "I'm glad you stuck to your guns, Joel." "This way, you can definitely forget about... one of those cushy minimum-security places." "This way, you're definitely going to the joint." "When you get a chance, write me a letter." "Tell me what your cell mate's like." "Tell me what it feels like to have a subway way up your ass." "And my name's James, you little piss pot." "And now I'm gonna get you your lawyer." " How's it going?" " Okay, I guess." " You got a minute?" " Yeah." "We gonna have that talk?" "Yeah." "You're all jammed up." "We found Marino's notebook at that crime scene." "Intelligence is on their way over to pick it up." "I reported to Lastarza about that notebook, and he said if I worked undercover, the books would be cleared." " Is that written down anywhere?" " He said it was cleared at command level." "Did you speak to anybody at command level?" "Lastarza said it was cleared." "You don't think he'll stand up?" "We made a deal." "Okay, listen to me." "I'm going back upstairs to work a while." "I'll be back and forth from my desk." " What's that supposed to mean?" " The notebook is on my desk." "Now, I'm not telling you how to run your life." "I'm just telling you where the notebook is." "You do what you think you gotta do." " Hey, James." " Hey." " What's going on?" " I was over at the bank going over those fraud affidavits." "Looks like it's gonna work out all right for those people who got ripped off." " Good." " The bank's gonna make some... whatchamacallit... transitional funds available till they square up liability." " Yeah, good." " I'll tell you, Detective, working those interviews, I felt like you were in there the whole time with me." "Yeah." "You know what?" "You're a detective now." " You call meJohn, all right?" " All right." "John, I tried to do what you taught me... put myself in the other guy's place, think how he was thinking, feel sorry for him like he was feeling sorry for himself." "Yeah." "Well, I'm glad that worked out for you." " Get what you need?" " Yeah." "Thanks." " Hi." " Good night." " See you later." "Not to get sentimental or anything, but, uh," "I'm glad I had you for a teacher." "You know?" "The kind of cop you are." " Good night." " Good night." "Hi." "I'll go get him." " Why don't you have a seat." " Okay." "Your mom is here." "You gonna try and make this work?" "Yes." "We're gonna be a long way separated from each other." "But you got our phone number here." "Okay." "I want you to write me." "I'm gonna write you." "But you can always call, Maceo." "I want you to keep us in your heart." "And we're pulling for you." "And we love you." "You carry that with you, Maceo." "You're never gonna be alone." "Come on." "You were good for him." "Should we have another baby, Art?" "No." "We talked about this." "The last delivery was too hard." "I'm not afraid." "I'm sorry I didn't give you a boy." " No one could love their children any more than I love the girls." " I know." "Anyway, I don't want to change diapers anymore." "I don't want to have to depend on bifocals to read bedtime stories." "I don't want to be too old to play ball." "You wouldn't be." "You wouldn't be." "It's snowing." "You were good for him." "I waited at your place." "It's over for you with them." "Without your name in that notebook, they have no access to you." "And Lastarza has too much reason to keep his mouth shut." "I gotta admit, I didn't see all the angles." "Sitting outside your place," "I kept thinking about how it was up to us now." "About how maybe we could... make it like it was before." "But we can't, can we, Johnny?" "I don't know how long it would take, but if we were together, you'd start to hate me... because of what you did for me." "Maybe you hate me now." "No." "I'm just glad you're all right." "Good-bye, Johnny."
