06x08 - Fathers and Huns

Post by bunniefuu »

Good morning, mr. Sims.

I want you to wear
these in court.

I also want you to shave.

This all you got for my defense?

We're still trying for a plea.

A plea?!

Ain't gonna be no plea,
unless I roll on canetti.

If I do that, then you
can bury me in these.

I ain't got a chance,
lady, and you know it.

I want you to look good
for the jury, arthur.

Your appearance should
suggest bank clerk,

Not heroin purchaser.

And whether you believe
it or not, act confident.

The shoes don't even fit.

Jablonski: item seven...

The trial of arthur sims and
anthony canetti begins this a.m.

Arresting officers
coffey and sergeant bates

Are on court alert.

Item eight...

The cleansing fire, which
is a self-styled coven

Of your basic
fascist, n*zi types,

Plans a march through
the north end this a.m.,

Ending up on browning street,

On account of that's
where the birthplace is

Of this loony who founded them.

It's gonna be the
unveiling of a bust

Of this albrighton character,
and we can expect a group of 20.

Now, on account that we
don't want browning street

b*rned down in a riot,

We're gonna assign
heavy police protection.

Billings, kazman, vicenza,
martin, kennedy, ortez...

You're on it.

Lieutenant goldblume
coordinating.

Item nine... Responding
to information

From a disgruntled loser,

Detective belker works
an undercover today

In the phone room behind
myron's 128th street liquors.

Item 10... This is a memo from
deputy commander swanson

To the effect that...

We got a sh*t at the first
monthly decrease in crime

Citywide in the last 22 months.

The note here is,
"congrats! Keep it up...

At least till the
end of the month."

Item 11... Look, during
the last two days,

Kids from st. Thaddeus parish
have been collecting cans

So that they can go to camp.

They've been getting a lot of
flak from the bums, the winos

Over on duke street.

St. Thaddeus happens
to be my parish,

And well, if those
patrolling the area

Just keep your eye out for
incidents, I'd appreciate it.

Okay, that's it.
That's the last item.

Let's roll.

Oh, um, while you're leaving,

Just one thing I
want to remind you of.

Maybe some of you don't know it,

But victims' aid's been running
a skeleton crew downtown

On voluntary contributions.

Mrs. Furillo has
asked me to remind you

That a collection box has
been set up by the main entrance.

It's up to the
individual. Okay, let's go.

Goldblume! It never fails.

Can you direct us
to this goldblume?

You got him. You guys
with the cleansing fire?

That's correct.

This the cleansing fire, henry?

Hi, guys!

You got permits that will
cover your intended activities?

Of course.

This doesn't give
your exact route.

Harmon albrighton's
birthplace is on browning.

It's too crowded
during midday traffic.

You're gonna have to
go left to exposition,

Then you can cut
across to browning.

We did not come to
march up and down alleys.

Look, it must be obvious

You're not gonna be welcome
in this minority neighborhood.

And since I'm responsible
for your safety,

I pick the route, unless
you'd care to call it off.

You'd like that,
wouldn't you, goldblume?

What I would like, mr. Edsel,

Is to get through
today without incident.

You march, make
your speech, that's it.

Understood?

We have no desire to stir
up or incite the street rabble.

We convene at 10:30
at the parade route.

Agreed.

You know, sir,

Theirs is a higher grade
of cotton than ours.

Dispatch. We have a 911...

Armed robbery in progress,

Surplus store, corner of
peebles drive and 124th street.

Robbery in progress...
Catchmeer's pharmacy,

Corner of garrison
and liberty heights,

Male suspect, no further
description, believed armed.

What the hell is
going on this a.m.?

All these skels out here

Robbing each other like
there ain't no tomorrow.

He just took off.
He went up the alley.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Hold it right there! Drop it!

Stay back! Let me fix!

Let me drink! Will you
let me drink it, man?!

There's nothing on
the streets. I'm dying.

Please help me.

Get him up.

Help me, please?

It's a victimless crime!

What in the hell is
going on around here?

Would you come and
sit down here, boy?

Sit him in this chair, renko.

Come sit down here before
I knock your head off.

Sit down here.

Captain, we're up 300%
on robberies and burgs

And double on assaults.

Drug panic?

Somebody must have
missed a shipment.

Get me briscoe, would you, stan?

Right, captain.

How you doing, darling?
Bobby hill in today?

Would you be gracious
enough to tell him

That his daddy
would like to see him?

Valdez, weissman...

Your daddy's here.

I have nothing to say to him.

Just go and talk to him, pal.

Don't put her in the
middle of this, okay?

Officer? Okay?

All right. Thanks.

Would you tell the
inspector, please,

I'll need authorizations
on overtime.

Mm-hmm.

4 Units 4:00 to 12:00,
4 units midnights,

And if we could get
forthwith assistance

From the ferry or farmingdale.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, right. Thanks.

Captain?

Counselor.

I thought you were on
trial with sims and canetti.

Break in jury selection.

Frank, you people are wasting
$40,000 of the state's dollars.

Why is that?

Isn't that what a
felony trial costs?

"People vs. Arthur sims,"

Who unfortunately
bought his smack one day

From a drug kingpin?

Will your client
testify against canetti?

No, he can't.

Then no deals.

You're pretty high
and mighty on this one.

I've got a client
with a one-page sheet

And you're acting
like he's john dillinger.

He wasn't purchasing
for personal consumption.

That was resale weight.

Oh, come on, frank.

You don't give a damn
what arthur sims did.

You're just afraid you'll lose
canetti if you plead the guy.

That's not a crime.

No, it's just damn unfair.

So I started
having these spells,

And I got so tired, I
could hardly move.

Now you know, as
stubborn as I am,

I don't want to go
and see no doctor,

But your aunt feeny insisted.

Ain't no easy way
to say this, bobby.

Doc says I'm dying.

How long have you known?

A month or so.

Well, why didn't you call
me? I would have come down.

I'm ailing. I ain't dead.

And besides, the way
we left it last time...

I would have come down.

Bobby, I know how hard
they're working you.

Look, um, you know,

I don't have much
room in my place, but...

I didn't come here
to be no bother.

I checked in at the cumberland.

But I want you to
know before I left home,

I settled with your aunt feeny.

I paid her every cent of
that $400 that I owed her.

But the hotel
wants $100 advance.

And you want me to
loan you the money.

Things are a little tight now.
You know how I hate asking you.

Who's your doctor, reggie?

Now don't go bothering the man.

What's your doctor's name?

I went to this clinic.

There must have been
four or five doctors,

All kind of people
staring down at me.

No time to get nobody's name.

Is it the edge hill clinic?

Yeah, that's it.

But they ain't gonna
tell you no more.

It's my heart.

And it ain't gonna
last long now.

I got to get to work.

I'll call you later
at the cumberland.

Now I know how busy you've been.

I was just hoping that we
could spend a little time.

We never did take the
time to be together

And just to talk.

Coffey: we're on
regular motor patrol.

At about 10:45 I saw defendant
canetti's cadillac seville

Illegally parked at a pump.

Pump?

Hydrant! Hydrant.

Um... As we approached the car,

I was looking
through the window,

And I saw money change hands

From defendant sims
to old man canetti,

And then white powder from
defendant canetti to sims.

They're still picking the jury.

Yeah, I don't think it
should take much longer.

Uh, tony, I'll see you
in the courtroom?

Excuse me, captain.
Channing o'dwyer.

I represent tony canetti.

This is one of his
associates, charles corso.

What is it?

Uh...

We feel a very hard
position is being taken

Against my client.

What do we have here, captain?

We have a 62-year-old man,

Only 2 arrests in
the past 30 years.

He's wielded a great
influence in his community.

Hmm... As the prime
purveyor of hard dr*gs

From 117th street to 124th.

If he's such a prime purveyor,

What's he dealing
half an ounce for?

That's a whole other question

Concerning mr. Canetti's
possible senility.

May I ask you a very private
and confidential question?

You can ask.

Are you having difficulties
on your streets?

What do you mean?

I hear the rumor the
streets are all dried up,

That there's a
heroin panic going on.

Are you suggesting canetti's
cut off the drug supply?

Mr. Canetti involved
with dr*gs? No way.

Tony canetti wants
federal correction.

Is that too much to ask?

He'll cop to an "e"
sale. That's 24 months.

And he'd like to
do it in danbury.

Are you telling me canetti's
cut off the drug supply?

All I'm saying, captain,

Is that he's very
influential in his community.

Mr. O'dwyer... Mr. Corso,

I'm taking what you're
telling me as blackmail.

And that means there's no
chance tony canetti gets a deal.

None.

Lillia montro...
Ninth at hialeah.

Got it.

And blushful bride
also ninth at hialeah.

To win? Yeah, I got it. Okay.

Belker: don't worry, I got
it. Honest, I got it all down.

How you doing, kid? You
developing a taste for this?

Yeah, I think I am.

How about I give
you a little pop quiz?

Suppose we're raided.
The cops come in.

What do you do?

I get arrested.

Before that!

What do you do with
all these slips, huh?

You eat them, right?

Of course!

You eat these,

And you're gonna be eating
chemically processed paper,

Filled with poison.

Now I'm gonna
show you something.

From now on, you use these.

Rice paper from chinatown...

No preservatives,
organically pure.

Look, I take care of my people.

Now you get rid of these.

Hey, myron, the
nazis are coming.

What? I thought
they weren't gonna.

The newspaper said that
they wouldn't get a permit.

They're marching
down cumberland,

And they're gonna be
demonstrating on browning.

Yeah? Not a chance.

Nazis are not gonna come
parading in my neighborhood.

I think I'm going over
there on my lunch.

I think we're gonna go
over to diparma's grocery

And ask him for
fruit and vegetables

And for whatever he's
got there that's rotten.

Called the edge hill and
every other clinic in roanoke,

And there were no
records of a reginald hill.

Well, I don't mean to stick
my beak into it, partner,

But I think you're walking
into a major mistake.

Mistake?

Renko, the man has lied
to me about his own death.

Don't you think you
ought to confront him,

Maybe talk to him about it?

He'll just say he's
sorry and act real meek,

Maybe get his eyes all watered
up to make me feel guilty,

And then he'll hit me
up for some more money.

You guys ain't got
time to eat that.

You're needed on the street.

The pba guarantees
me a hot meal.

We done our part.

Seven robberies and
as*ault before noon.

Tip of the iceberg.

Price of smack's up 500%...
If you can find the stuff.

We just pulled a kid
out of a dumpster...

sh*t up epsom salts.

How long you think your heart
can keep pumping that sludge?

It just so happens that
margo's special meat loaf

Is an oasis of culinary pleasure

In these otherwise
desiccated surroundings.

Don't you care about your body?

At the risk of a
dreadful macho cliché,

I invite you to strike the
walls of my lateral abdominals.

That means nothing.

It's what's inside that counts.

I know, maybe I'm a little soft,

But my tubes are clean.

You know, a man
gets to be your age,

You better start
eating defensively.

Or one day, a chunk
of that meat loaf there

Is gonna get stuck
in your plumbing.

You vapor lock,

We're all in our dress uniforms
when they fire the salute.

Oh, the hell with it. Mmm!

All right. What do you got, sid?

Corso's doing it out of
loyalty to old man canetti.

Keep pressure on
the d.a. To plead him.

I'm touched, but I ain't buying.

Hey, the man knows
without smack,

You guys can't
keep a lid on things.

Oh, come on! The stuff's
scarce for 48 hours,

Five or six greedy players
sh**t each other up,

And canetti's history.

Less than 48 hours. There's
some grief coming, norm.

From who?

From a discontented party.

First, me and you
got to talk expenses.

Would you, uh, step
into my boudoir?

Sharp.

Norman, I need 300 beans.

I don't believe you, sid.

I'm paying dependents
out of my own pocket.

Come on, at least
make it a deuce.

I lose, but I can live with it.

Yeah, here, try this.

50 Bucks? Oh, boy,
you sure I'm worth it?

The lady wasn't wrong.

R-e-s-p-e-c-t... Find out
what it means to me, norman.

Plus, I don't bust your parole

For a certain torch job
I heard about last week.

End of discussion.

What kind of defamation is this?

Come on, sid! I've been
keeping a ledger on you.

You torched a jewelry store.

How'd you get these
wheels? In fact, give me this!

Pull out. You're going in.

You got something to
work off here, sweetheart,

Or you're back in the joint
keeping house for king kong.

Let's go pick out an
apron for you, all right?

All right, look.

I was wrong about
your generosity.

My mistake, okay?

All right, let's hear something.

There's a second lieutenant
of canetti's in the picture.

Who?

Bobby stellini.

I know him from
my old soda days.

This individual's
writing the book,

"The world as I see
it through my nose."

But he's still pretty connected.

He's ticked off at
corso or something.

He's thinking maybe
this is his sh*t.

To ace fat chuck?

Nothing's happening
on the streets.

Think about what's
piling up somewhere.

Norman, the natural
order has been disrupted.

Stay with me...
Come on, up here.

And don't touch
anything, all right?

I'm here to see sergeant
stanley jablonski.

What's going on
around here today, girl?

We can't process.

Not until the bus takes
this load to midtown.

What are you doing here?

What are these, your bodyguards?

Stanley, we got to take action!

It's the guy we contracted
to buy up the aluminum cans.

Sleazeball's cheating our kids.

What's he doing?

He's claiming 15
cans to the pound.

Imagine that kind of lowlife
doing a thing like that?

On a project we've
all worked so hard on...

You, me, the kids.

We weighed them... 10
To 12 cans in a pound.

You know how hard
it is to find a guy.

Now he's exploiting
the situation.

It's just a question of
how many cans in a pound.

Can't you make some
kind of compromise?

The man's entirely unreasonable.

He says our kids
are cheating him.

Says he can pay
them what he wants.

Then he ducks in his
shack and locks the door.

Tell him about the dog.

Father: he sicced his
police dog on me.

I don't know what
to tell you, father.

It's not exactly some
kind of heavy crime.

Oh, come on, stanley!

Larceny by fraud?
Canine as*ault?

I've already talked
to a cop about it.

Said it wasn't worth his time.

Who told you that?

I forget his name.

But believe me, I
wouldn't be down here

If you weren't our last resort.

Can we count on you?

Okay, okay, I'll
send somebody out.

Uh, daugherty, kirby.

What's this guy's name?
Where can we find him?

Bum's name is glynn.

Two hours have passed.
We've had 18 more robberies.

I'm trying to protect a fascist
march and demonstration

With six men,

And you people don't have the
courtesy to return my calls.

Please do.

Thank you.

Corso's in interrogation.

What's the sh*t?

My attorney's on
trial with my colleague

While you're
pulling this end run.

I want you on notice, mr. Corso.

Your statements to
me in court this morning

Came that close to making a
conspiracy case against you.

Oh, yeah? Conspiracy to what?

Obey the law?

Obstruct justice,
distribute narcotics.

You got a case, you bust
me. Otherwise, I don't scare.

I know what cop
houses look like.

I don't scare either, mr. Corso.

Then why do I get this feeling

That you're squeezing my stones
to get me to unplug the tap?

You're a cop.

You're supposed to
be congratulating me,

Give me one of those
drug-prevention awards.

It won't work, chuck.
You can't afford it.

Right now, people are planning
moves on canetti's territory.

Oh, gee. Like that's
something new.

They ain't got the product.

They'll go after the product,

And I'll be cleaning
up a drug w*r.

Hey, look, now I agree

That we got a common
interest in keeping the peace.

So lighten up on the old man.

Let him do his time in
federal with his pals,

And let's put things
back to normal.

Let him go, henry.

What is it?!

Ain't getting your picture
in the paper enough?

Now you're the guy that
denies a 62-year-old diabetic

The right to do his
bid among friends?

Captain.

How's the trial going?

Typical. It's bogged down.

This was a good
bust lucy and I made.

I know that.

This is just one guy's opinion,

But when a cop does make
a good bust of a heavy guy,

I just hope you
back us up on it.

They talking about a
plea bargain downtown?

There's a lot of rumors,
mostly from o'dwyer.

It's not happening...
Not on tony canetti.

Thanks. I'm glad to hear that.

Lieutenant, got a
call on a situation

At the martin luther
king emergency facility.

Armed assailants in
the treatment room.

Sector-b units and units from
the heights are on the scene.

Captain.

Listen, I got a snitch says
canetti's second lieutenant,

A guy named stellini,
is planning a move.

What kind of move?

He don't know exactly,
but figure on corso.

Bring him in.

Don't sh**t! Don't sh**t!

Lieutenant hunter...
I'm in charge here.

Anyone injured in there?

No, they let us go as
soon as they got the dr*gs.

Do you have any personnel
or patients in there?

No, just those boys.

Those assailants are juveniles?

Kids! They're desperate. You
better try and get to them.

They're injecting
straight demerol.

They won't be alive much longer.

Young man: I'm not armed!

Don't sh**t me!

Please don't hurt
me! Don't hurt me!

Don't hurt me!

I think he's dead.

Get a doctor! This guy's dying!

Young man: let go of me!

Man: come on, move them out!

The vision of harmon albrighton

Lies deep within the
breast of millions.

And one day, the world
will bow down in fealty.

Watch the old man. Maybe
you'll learn something.

Myron, what they
want is a confrontation.

Will you listen to that filth?!

Just don't do anything yet.

Here, take a potato.

Potatoes are too hard, myron.

All right, so take
a muskmelon then.

Diminished brain capacity

Cannot make a
single wise decision.

Nor will an act of heroism
ever come from their ranks...

Love your hat, man!

Here's your proof!

Mick, what are you doing?

Don't blow my cover.

All right, that's enough.

Let go of him!

Captain? Assistant
d.a. Bernstein.

Who's putting pressure?

No, no one's come through me.

Look, if no weakness in
the case has developed,

I say nail the sucker.

Ah, hold it. Briscoe's
walking in the door.

Call you back.

Captain?

Inspector, my office.

Sergeant, they're
bringing in your guy.

I want to talk to him.

Bobby stellini, possession
of controlled substance...

To wit, cocaine.

Who's in charge here?

I'm sergeant jablonski.

22 Years, I buy scrap metal.

Never a problem until
this maniac priest...

Watch the name-calling.

Guy comes in yelling
and screaming,

Terrifies my wife.

He's a maniac. I don't
care he's a priest.

Father says you're undervaluing
the price of them cans.

Undervaluing?

Listen, mister. I'm
showing you something.

Here's how kids pick up cans.

Always get dirt in
them, so they're heavier.

You're making a big
production out of a little dirt?

Why should I pay for dirt?

He says that you
sicced your dog on him.

Sure! He was trespassing.

I tried explaining
my pricing schedule.

He's screaming and hollering.

Did he tell you he stole 10
bucks out of my cash box?

Father stole money from you?

What do you call
it? I got witnesses.

And believe me, I am
countercharging.

Let me think here a minute.

What's to think about?
You busted me. Bust him.

I'm not gonna bust him.

Hell of a justice system.

You bust an old scrap
dealer. You won't bust a priest.

Woman: what do we do with him?

Hold him. Let me settle this.

I've got a drug panic, and I
can't get a phone call returned.

There's a school of
thinking downtown

That holds you responsible
for that panic, captain.

Oh? Is that why people have
been going behind my back

To pressure the d.a. On canetti?

What happened to
captain's prerogative?

No one's questioning
your prerogative... Yet.

But, frank, are we
using good judgment?

How's that?

Look, canetti will settle
for a couple years off max

In federal housing.

When you balance that

Against your first down
crime monthlies in two years...

What's that got to do...

We're about to blow

Any possible favorable
news story or two

On this one damn crime wave.

Oh, that's great, warren.
That's just brilliant.

You know where that
puts the department?

In the same cage with
the canettis of the world.

Dope makes the world go round.

Dope makes the
department look good!

You know, I never figured
you to be simpleminded, furillo.

So I'm gonna interpret
this as a political ploy.

Like the white suit.

The streets are nuts,
but furillo, he stands tall,

Even against the cynics
in his own department.

Well, you're not gonna
get that ploy, frank.

Not this time.

Because you will make
that phone call to the d.a.

That tells him to cop that plea.

You understand that?

You're making me
eat dirt. I won't.

That's an order, captain.

Captain, buntz has got
this canetti lieutenant

In interrogation.

Lieutenant, read my lips.

I did not create this situation.

You understand?

I'm just riding it out,
just like you people.

Which leaves you where,
vis-à-vis old man canetti?

Where?

Well, where the
old man gets busted

Dealing smack on the street.

Now, is that the product
of logical thinking to you?

Does that sound like
a man with $11 million?

Little soft in the
noggin, huh, bobby?

Soft?

Soft? The man collects
string in a drawer.

He's saving pounds of
newspaper in his closet.

Last week, he goes down,
he puts in an application

At a fast-food restaurant
for a job $3.25 an hour.

Corso nearly has a heart att*ck.

I got to send somebody
down, withdraw the application.

Mr. Stellini was allowing as

How the onset of
mr. Canetti's senility

Has strained his
relations with his boss.

Maybe we can help you.

How's that?

Give us canetti's stash.

Has to be socked away someplace.

Tie it to canetti and corso.

Would that be in line
with your ambitions?

Well, then what?

Me and you have a
good relationship?

We're never gonna have a
good relationship, bobby.

But if you testify
with immunity,

It would be as if we shut
our eyes and count to 10.

You'll peek. You call my lawyer.

I don't know about
your boss, stellini,

But you're fairly
stupid yourself.

You're a drug dealer

Making plans to be a
bigger drug dealer.

I see no reason not
to go for you now.

Except for your man
here totally rousted me.

It'd be my word against
yours, huh, roberto?

Call your lawyer.

How was the arrest?

They ask, I lie.
Who's kidding who?

I want him out. I
want him followed.

You think he goes after corso?

I don't know, but he's high.
He'll make some kind of move.

It's canetti's stash.

I don't think he
knows where it's at.

Maybe he'll find out.
Send washington and larue.

Man: assistant d.a.
Ueker, line two.

Captain says it's
bill of rights day.

Gambling, possession
of gaming instruments,

Disorderly conduct.

Did you see this message?

Thank you.

Trouble, huh?

Go. I'll take it.

Bobby! Hey, bobby!

Man: internal affairs division.
That's on the second floor.

I tried phoning you
a couple times, son,

But you must have been busy.

I want to explain
something to you.

I called the clinic, reggie.

They never even saw you.

They told you that?

Why would they want
to tell you a lie like that?

You're the one
that's lying, reggie.

And it's tired! And
it's depressing!

So just get on out of here now.

All right, I told
you about that clinic

Maybe because you
wouldn't believe me.

But I know what I feel...

I don't want to hear it, reggie.

I wish you wouldn't
call me reggie.

You know, son,

There's some things that
we got to be talking about,

And it gets more important now.

So why is the first thing
you talk about money?

And what I want to talk
about is you ain't dying.

Okay, maybe I'm all right.

Maybe I'll live long
enough to bury you.

But the point is, bobby, I
really been wanting to see you.

Now you see me.

Bobby... Give me a chance.

Man: partial i.d.
On the vehicle...

What do you want to say to me?

Don't hate me, bobby.

What else?

What else?

Maybe I shouldn't
have come here at all.

Maybe you're right.

You still at the cumberland?

I don't think it ain't...

Got to be no more worry
of yours now, bobby.

I'll pick you up tonight,
take you to the bus.

Mick?

I'm okay. Everything's okay.

What happened?

It's nothing.

It's run-of-the-mill
lacerations and contusions.

You promised you were
gonna ride a desk, didn't you?

I couldn't.

And anyway, I never said that.

No, you broke a promise.

No, I promised I'd be careful.

I, uh...

I couldn't help
it if some idiot...

A promise is a promise.

No, don't start, okay?

I tell you what...

If you're not gonna
do it, I'm gonna do it.

I'm gonna call your captain.

You're what?

And I'm gonna tell him
to get you off the street.

That's all.

Mick, if you do,

I don't see how things
are ever gonna work out.

You're pregnant!

And what did the
doctor tell you?

That I'm supposed to stay calm.

And on the average day,

I don't have any more physical
activity than anyone else.

You don't want to
have this baby, do you?

Don't you ever say that!

Maybe he's going home to
mama for a spaghetti dinner.

All the snort he's been
doing, he won't eat for a week.

When you got
it, baby, flaunt it.

Unit 4011, we have suspect
stellini approaching premises,

Possible narcotics location...
700 Block, north carlin.

Advise units to approach silent.

Don't look to me like
stellini's expected.

That's it. That's
probable cause.

Freeze!

Drop it!

Come on down here.

Hit the car!

Neal, it's in there. We got it.

Hey, hold it, j.d.

Hold it! Don't go in there, man.

Man: who's there?

Police! Throw your
w*apon through the door.

Where did you come from?

Where's your shield?

All right, here.

What are you, crazy?!

That guy tried to k*ll me!

Let me get my permit!

Oh, my! Look at this.

Huh? This is it,
neal. This is it.

I can smell it. It's
canetti's stash.

Yeah, it's here. Get
furillo down here.

J.d., Stop it. Don't you
listen to your radio?

The owner of these premises
owns a security service.

Guy's got nothing
to do with canetti!

Stellini broke into
the wrong house.

He must have got
the wrong address!

Oh, man.

Six-figure lawsuit time, babe.

Mr. Koch's house and
hearth have been trampled,

His freedoms taken
by your jackbooters.

We demand release,

Or I'm bringing habeas
corpus within the hour.

It's being reviewed
right now, counselor.

It was the jew's fault.

We were patient
with his bungling,

But now we demand satisfaction.

I hope your parade was
satisfactory, mr. Edsel.

He did nothing to
restrain the mob.

Then riffraff
vandalized our van.

We hold the jew
accountable, captain.

If you have a
criminal complaint,

See sergeant jablonski.

Custodians of law and order...

Jews, now italians and slavics.

Norman, I want koch held.

Check his weapons
for legal registration.

The man's got paper, captain.

Then review it again.
Review it three times.

If we have any sh*t
at canetti's stash,

We have to keep
this incident quiet.

Otherwise, we're
dead. It's gone.

Address from stellini's
pockets... Right where he went.

He must have written
something down wrong.

Check the street address
for all possible variations...

North, south, numbers inverted.

Check them against
canetti associates.

How's stellini?

He should be out of
surgery right now.

Bates and coffey are down there.

Edsel come in to thank us

For doing our
best to protect him?

No.

Yeah, registrations.

Furillo's got some equipment.

What sort of equipment?

Yeah, yeah, listen, I got
to run some numbers.

So I want to run them
again. All right, pal?

I'm saying that the man's
showing me something.

What's he showing you?

Lieutenants.

Inspector briscoe.

Inspector.

Where's the plea on canetti?

You want headlines. I'm
trying to get them for you.

Where's the plea?!

Bernstein's adjourned
till tomorrow.

Would you please
let me do my job?

Your job is to obey
orders, furillo.

You don't really care
what the story's about

As long as it's
hearts and flowers.

I can get it for you, warren.

I have a sh*t at
canetti's dr*gs.

Or would you rather
I not look so good?

Would you rather the
headlines came elsewhere?

Don't say that, frank.

Don't make me smaller than I am.

Coffey called. Stellini
just gave us somebody.

The address checks.
It's 1759, not 759.

Let's get a warrant.

Okay, gentlemen.

Now, you both agree you're
gonna abide by these findings.

Give me the basket.

Basket weighs half a pound.

Now you're gonna see.

Three...

Seven...

11...

13... Maybe 14.

13? I told you he was
underpricing those kids.

There's 14 cans in
there. You're crazy.

Who you calling crazy?

You! Shouldn't be allowed
nowhere near those kids.

Who knows what
he's doing to them.

What's that? What's that?

Jablonski: hey, hey,
hey! That's enough!

Father, that's enough!

Let me at him!

Come on over here.

You're disgrace to the clergy.

Jablonski: get him out of here.

I don't know what's
happening anymore.

Sit down.

What's the matter
with me, stanley?

I was just about to ask
you the same question.

It's the injustice.

I'm so out of control.

Sometimes I get so angry!

Well, I don't know
about injustice, father.

All I know is you
just tried to hit a guy.

Where's the justice in that?

The point is... The
point is those kids.

We're trying to get
them out of a violent life

Into a more productive life.

And you go around
street brawling.

You're right, stanley.
You're absolutely right.

Sometimes I think I ought
to put down the collar

And go to poland
or central america,

Where I can take up arms.

Plenty of soldiers, father.

What there's a shortage
of is good parish priests.

Sure there's a shortage, if
you leave off guys like me,

Who really aren't
fit to wear the collar.

Hey, what am I hearing here?

I assaulted a man. I
ought to be arrested.

Well, I'm not gonna bust you.

Supposing he presses charges?

He's not gonna press charges.
We're gonna work it out.

Now, father, why
don't you apologize?

Reimburse him, maybe,
for the 10 bucks you took.

And maybe we can get
him back onboard, hmm?

No hail marys or penance?

I'm a cop.

I don't give advice of
no spiritual nature.

They gonna arrest him, father?

Quiet now!

Ah, mr. Glynn, the father
has something he wants to say.

Go on.

Even a spiritual man
can be bested by passion.

I'm not tearing
up this complaint.

If we lock up the father,

All the good he's
done for these kids...

That will go down the drain.

You were there.
You saw what he did.

All I'm saying is,

You get your truck,
and you pick up the cans.

And you get 14 cans per pound.

15.

15 If there's a little dirt,
13 if they're total empties.

The main thing is that
we get these kids to camp.

And you and me, we don't
have no more dealings.

That's in the past.

You have my word
as a man of god.

Kids, you watch out
for the dirt, okay?

That way, you'll
get a better price.

Where's my 10 bucks?

Oh...

Neal, j.d., Coffey, let's go.

Sarge, will you handle that?

Okay, lieutenant.

We're getting the runaround,
and we're filing our writ now.

Attorney richards,
let's be realists, okay?

A situation has developed here
that we don't want you to blow

With your fat mouth
and all your writs, okay?

Now, if I was you,

I'd consider that your man
got caught with 80 g*ns,

Which I will personally
keep on checking out

Till the year 1992

If we don't see just a little
cooperation around here, okay?

And no more writs, for
three, maybe four, hours.

Freeze! Police!

Up, up, come on!

Man: don't sh**t! Don't sh**t!

Hey, harry! Harry, cool it.

You're gonna jam
up the plumbing.

Stop it!

That's enough!

This is all pure heroin.

No, it's not!

All right, harry.

You have the right
to remain silent.

Man over p.a.: Bus 81 now
departing from gate 2a

For roanoke, virginia,
and points east.

Say hi to auntie.

I will.

Bobby, you look better
without the mustache.

No more passengers.

I got my ticket and everything.

But I'm full.

Another bus will be here
in about an hour and a half.

Now don't worry.
You don't got to wait.

I guess that's goodbye then.

I guess so.

To omaha, pick
up your baggage...

You all right?

Oh, it's just this climate.

Listen, bobby...

You take care of yourself.

You too... Dad.

Go on.

I don't mind waiting with you.

Oh, hush.

I'll just sit here
and read the paper.

Now, you know what
I'm gonna tell you,

But since you ain't
gonna listen to me,

I ain't gonna say it.

Good. Don't.

But since you asked, I will.

I think it is a disgrace,

You leaving an old, sick
man all alone in a bus station.

Renko, the man sees
me as an easy mark.

He doesn't want to
spend two hours with me

Any more than I want
to spend it with him.

And I told you, he is not sick.

Don't look so good to me.
Looks like he's lost weight.

He didn't look good to you?

Even if he lived
to be 112 years old,

I'd say the same thing...
Talk it out with the man.

We talked. There's
nothing more to say.

You're talking about something

That you know
absolutely nothing about.

See, you ask my opinion,
then you stonewall me.

Well, I'll tell you one thing
I know something about.

He is your daddy,

And as much as you
deny it, you are his son.

And in many ways,
you take after him.

He had absolutely
nothing to do with who I am.

Everything I am, I
am in spite of him.

Which is precisely my point.

I can't.

You know, there are times
that I'm ashamed for you.

I see him there.

I want to particularly praise
the work of joseph coffey,

Who made the original
arrest on mr. Canetti

And seized the dr*gs
in a subsequent incident.

This seizure constitutes
the largest in the state...

What about arthur?

Thought we didn't
plea-bargain at night.

What about arthur sims?

Canetti's finished.
You've got him.

"A" misdemeanor
possession if it works out.

"B" misdemeanor

On account of the
impossible time you've given him

Just because you wanted canetti.

Your client possessed
heroin. That's a crime.

No! I didn't know that.

"B" misdemeanor.
I'll check with irwin.

Oh, my hero.

Ugh!

Frank?

Hmm?

I borrowed some old,
gray flannels and brogues

So my client would have
something nice to wear.

Hmm... No deal till
I get them back.

Don't worry. He hated them.

Man over p.a.: 10 Minutes
till departure time.

Bus 61... New york city,
boston, and philadelphia.

Excuse me. Bus to roanoke?

Gate 12.

Did it leave yet?

Check the board!

Passengers for springfield,

This is the last
call for bus 18.

Local bus 23 is arriving...

Hey! Daddy!

Dad! Reggie hill?

Reggie hill onboard?

Hey, you coming or staying?

Uh, bus to roanoke?

Roanoke? Just
left. Just missed it.
