[Instrumental music]

[Indistinct chatter]

Eddie: Can you tell
me anything else?

He said that he would hurt me...

If I didn't tell him
where everything was.

Well, you did the
right thing by telling.

It's not a matter
of the right thing...

She had no choice.

Well, did they say
anything else? Uh...

Call each other by
name, anything like that?

Yeah, then they gave us their
address and phone number.

Oh, David!

And you said they just came
in? And you didn't open the door?

I don't open the
door to strangers.

Well, what did they take?

Pearls, uh, a diamond
necklace, rings.

And, a painting.

A kandinsky.

Cost me half a million.

We needed it like
a hole in the head...

Which now, i got!

Mr. Haggard: You happy?
- It was an investment.

Besides, it was insured.

How long was this
house on the market?

Over a year. You can't
find a buyer these days...

If we sold it in
'87, like I said...

We would be in sarasota
today, and, none of this would...

You think people don't get
robbed in sarasota? Tell!

Mrs. Haggard: The... the
point is... you never listen to me.

I don't listen? When you
yap, the whole neighborhood...

[Horn honking]

You know, it's a little
hard gettin' worked up

over rich folks
losin' a few trinkets.

Especially, since they're
such nice people. [Sighs]

Yeah, that's gonna be you
and your girl in about 30 years.

Oh, see now you need to
stop 'cause if that ever happens,

you come and sh**t me.

Ah, I'll sh**t you, my
man. How y'all doin'?

Alright. You know she's
getting a little antsy,

being all cooped up and all.

You know what they say,
when it starts itchin', it's healing.

[Scoffs] Yo, it is
itchin', my brother.

It's itchin'.

[Instrumental music]

J.c.: There were no
signs of forced entry,

so, we're looking at a
professional pick-man, lieu.

$600,000 heist.

Well, there's a lot of rich
people up riverside drive,

gentlemen. I want you to
run the mo through cars.

Canvas the neighbors and I
want you to take McNamara up

and help you do leg work.

Looks like we've got a new
player in town, gentlemen.

Let's catch him before
he busts any more skulls.

- Alright?
- Ma'am.

So, you my man, get
to do the door-to-door.

Why do I get the door-to-door?

I think those folks on that
street will be little more

likely to open
their door for you.

- And, their hearts.
- Right.

So, next case on convent
Avenue, you mooks do the canvas.

- Absolutely, baby.
- Whatever you say, tough guy.

[Instrumental music]

Alright, now, close your
eyes, I got something for you.

- Yeah?
- Yeah, close 'em.

[Giggles]

Hmm...

Ooh...

Hmm-hmm. Okay, open.

I gotta go see this.

Oh... this is beautiful.

Um-um. Keep
it. Keep it, keep it.

It's a present.
Besides, you earned it.

Tsk... I don't want it.

Baby, we gotta talk.

Talk about what?

I don't... I don't wanna
do this anymore.

[Sighs] First times
always the hardest.

It gets easier from now on.

Yeah, but those
people, they were old...

Old richpeople.

Come on, baby. I finally got
something good going on here.

Okay, what if we get caught?

Nobody's gettin' caught!

You scope 'em out.
Jimmy gets us in.

Jimmy's the best there is.
You know that. He's a pro.

But, baby, you don't needthis.

See, what you're
doing now? You see?

You're messin' with my business.

I got a right to talk.

I said... I got it handled.

Are you hearing me?

[Choking] Yes! Yes. I
hear you. Stop, stop it!

[Breathing heavily]

Just a few more
jobs and we'll be set.

Then I'll take care of
you for the rest of your life.

You promised that you
wouldn't hurt me anymore.

[Sighs] Come here.
I'm sorry, baby.

I'm sorry. Come here.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

But, you got to
believe in me, baby.

If you don't, then, who will?

I do.

Come here.

You know I do.

Thank you.

Hey-hey-hey. Check
out white boy. Hmm!

[Laughs] I bet you he's
runnin' from the folks uptown!

[Laughing]

Upper east-side,
projects, it don't matter.

Nobody sees nothin'.
Let me have an orange.

How'd you guys do?

Ah, a couple of home
invasions in California, Florida.

- No matching mo's.
- Anything on the street yet?

No, that is why we are here.

Tryin' to catch up with
our boy, Lenny krupps.

I know Lenny. From,
ah, from Grant street.

He ran that phony antique scam.

Don't tell me he
fences art, now?

He's payin'.

No, but I bet he
knows these guys.

Eddie: There he is.

Here. Keep, take it!

Lenny!

[Instrumental music]

[Panting]

Ah!

- Hey, hey, hey, hey!
- Ugh.

What the hell is
wrong, Lenny, man?

- You know I don't like to run!
- Just wanna talk to you, baby!

Yo... can we do it standing up?

Yeah. Come on.

J.c.: Get up.

Eddie: Alright, now.

Say, we're in the
market for a painting.

Yeah, well, there's some nice
galleries down in the village.

And, this insurance company
would be very grateful,

if we find the said painting.

A couple thousand grateful?

Ah, yeah. We'll see
what we can do about that.

- You go see Roscoe up on 85th.
- Roscoe?

- He's an art dealer now?
- Roscoe? No.

He's more like a... broker.

- Yo, Roscoe!
- Well, well, well.

- Hey.
- Hey, there, buddy-boy.

Is there something I can
help you gentlemen with?

Yeah. Is that your car outside?

Yeah, why?

It's a pretty nice car.
Business must be good.

We're interested in a painting.

Painting? I sell electronics.
You want a painting?

I got a black velvet
nude in the back room.

You could have it cheap.

No, we're lookin' for
something a little more upscale.

We heard you were
a patron of the arts.

Now this particular
painting was stolen

from an apartment on Tuesday.

- I know nothin' about
that. J.C.: Oh, yeah?

But if someone did come
to you with a painting...

You'd let us know, right?

Yeah. Absolutely!
I'm civic minded.

And hook us up.

Guys, I can't get
involved like that.

Look at this!

Bad '70s shirts...

Handbags...

There's plenty of
other boxes back there.

Roscoe, you got a bill
of lading for this stuff?

You got warrants?

Be back in an
hour with a warrant.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Maybe I did hear about a
guy that was talkin' about...

A painting.

Well, then you contact
this guy and you tell him

you got a fish.

[Instrumental music]

You know... I was thinking about
purchasing some art, you know.

[Laughs]

My man, your idea of
art is a de la hoya poster.

See, I'm talking
about a Tony torres

or a Luis hernandes Cruz...
You know, something like that?

Who are they, fighters, too?

You see, this is how
you embarrass yourself.

They're puerto rican artists.
'Kay, can you say artists?

- Artist. Artist.
- Good.

McNamara: Alright,
guys, heads up.

I think I got something.

[Sighs]

- Nice shirt, man.
- Roscoe gave it to me.

[Sighs] Roscoe
sells some fugly stuff.

[Chuckles] Yeah,
and, what do you sell?

You don't look
like no art dealer.

Neither do you, but
I'm willing to overlook it

if it's a real kandinsky.

No, we don't know that yet.

Damn!

McNamara: Police, stop!

Mc namara look like he got
a little bit of speed on him.

You think he can
catch the brother?

- Uhh... nah.
- Nah.

Eddie: Come on!
- Stop!

Eddie: Ah, he's goin' now.

J.c.: Come no, macky,
you're running like a little girl.

Let's put some
speed on the brother!

J.c.: Yo, baby! Come on!
Eddie: Let's see the cowboy!

Eddie: Ya better go, baby!
- Very funny.

Eddie: You're doin' it
now. J.C.: Ooh, boy!

[Grunts]

Eddie: Ooh...

Are you alright,
there, buddy boy?

Good job, McNamara.

[Chuckles]

Then, where did you get the
painting you tried to sell me?

I never tried to sell
you any painting.

- You misunderstood.
- Why'd you run then?

Well, the judge says I
have a right to run from cops.

You're corrupt
and violent people.

Dion, come on, make it easy on
yourself. You know we got you.

You ain't got Jack!

Ha! I never stole
anything in my whole life.

Attempted robbery,
aggravated as*ault.

Possession of stolen property.

- Ain't none of those stuck...
- In Philly they didn't.

Here they will.

How about we
search your crib, huh?

[Scoffs] Go ahead.

Matter of fact, you don't
even need a search warrant.

I'm telling you, do it.

You'll find nothing.

J.c.: You open up
under that window, right?

What happened?

- Are you detective Williams?
- Yes, ma'am, I am.

I'm Mariah barton, I understand

you're holding Dion broat in
regard to some kind of burglary.

Yes. What's your
connection to him?

I'm his alibi.

We were together all afternoon.

J.c.: Doing what?

Hmm... what do you think?

So, nobody else
saw you together?

We're not into that.

You know, if you're lying, that
makes you an accessory, right?

- You know that?
- I know.

Ah...

That's a nasty bruise.

I walked into my closet door.

Is this guy really
worth going to jail for?

When will you be releasing him?

Lieutenant Cooper,
I was looking for you.

Arthur.

Or should I say,
captain o'byrne?

I didn't know you were coming.

Yeah, well, I was
gonna call but I figured

why be formal? Just drop by.

Congratulations
on your promotion.

Ironical, isn't it?

That I should end
up being your boss.

Yeah, it's ironical alright.

I hope it won't be a
problem though, Virginia?

No. Not for me... Arthur.

- Good. [Chuckles]
- Hm. Good.

Well, I gotta go downtown.
We'll get together though.

I wanted to talk to you about
your squad's performance.

Hey, by the way, how's
McNamara working out?

Fine, what about my
squad's performance?

Ah, it's just a couple of
areas need a little attention.

Control, discipline...

A little fine tuning.
We'll talk about it.

J.c.: Lordy me... what a waste.

Eddie: [Scoffs] What're
you gonna rescue her, now?

You know, papa, you wanna
try not getting all up in my

brain every five seconds, okay?

- Thank you.
- I can't help it, man.

- You're just so obvious.
- And you are so wrong.

- Oh, yeah. Right.
- Let's forget it.

[Clears throat] Gentlemen...

- What's going on?
- Broat's got an alibi.

Woman says she was
with him all afternoon.

Cooper: Do you believe her?

Lieutenant, she's got
bruises on her face.

Well, you saying
he put them there?

Who else?

[Sighs] Did you
search his place?

- It's clean. Cooper:
So, no witness...

No evidence and enough alibi
to establish reasonable doubt.

- Kick him.
- Lieutenant, wait a minute.

I said, kick him!

Now, we can put him
on a 24 hour surveillance

and you can use anti-crime
units if you have to. Understood?

Moreno: Hey, Eddie!

- What're you doing here?
- Hello to you, too.

Well, I mean aren't you
supposed to be in therapy, right?

I just got back. I
came to talk to Cooper.

About what?

My job.

I'll see you later.

Yeah.

- How could you be so stupid?
- I was trying to help!

They'll find out you work
for a real estate company.

They'll know you
visited that apartment!

We can be out of town by then!

I said, we got a good deal here.

I'm not ready to walk away!

Do you want something
over here, money? Huh?

It's your business or somethin'?

Why don't you keep walkin'?

Punk-a*s b*tch!

[Sighs]

They had nothing on me.

They had to let me go.
I had it all figured out!

- I thought you needed my help.
- Haa.

[Chuckles]

Alright, alright,
baby. It's cool.

It's cool. I do need you.

Alright? I do.

It's just that you got to learn
to stay out of my business,

that's all.

Hm! Stupid-a*s cops
probably watching us right now.

Come on.

[Suspenseful music]

As soon as you're off sick leave

you'll be right
back on the roster.

Well, I was thinking, maybe
I could get back sooner...

Thanks. On a desk, or something.

Yeah. Well, we don't
want to rush things.

I mean, the most important
thing is that you get well.

Oh, I know.

- And, how do you feel?
- Really good.

I mean, all things
considered. [Chuckles]

The thing is, I just
want to make sure that...

There'll be a place for me

I mean, you have
all your slots filled...

Nina, as long as I'm
running this squad,

there will be a place for you.

What about McNamara?

I don't want him getting
jammed because of me.

I wouldn't worry about
McNamara if I were you.

He's probably gonna
be captain in a few years.

♪ Hey girl ain't no mystery ♪

♪ at least

♪ far as I can see

♪ I wanna keep you here

♪ oh, layin' next to me

♪ sharin' our love

♪ between the sheets

♪ hey

♪ oh ♪ oh baby

♪ baby

♪ and your love ♪

- So, how's your dad?
- He's doing good.

He had to go to a meeting.

You know, his cell count's up.

Sounds like he's
doin' better than me.

Oh, come on. You
know you're doing fine.

You have no reason to rush back.

You got disability,
what's the problem?

I feel like I'm on welfare.

See that's crazy. I mean, you...

You nearly died, I
mean, you did die.

I just, I don't like
being dependent.

You... you think
you're a burden on me?

Well...

Yeah. Right now.

Alright...

Forgetting the fact
that you took my b*llet...

- Eddie...
- Alright.

I won't mention it. It's, uh...

What I'm trying to say is,

I like taking care of you.

And, I would take care
of you the rest of your life,

if you let me.

[Torres sighs]

That's good to hear.

But, I don't wanna
be taken care of.

I don't mean it
literally, alright? I...

I know. I know, i'm...

I'm used to paying my own way.

I need to get back on the job.

Oh, come on, Eddie, you'd
feel the same if it were you.

I don't know about that!

I'd probably take disability
for the rest of my life.

And, let you wait
on me hand and foot.

- Dream on!
- That's a good dream, right?

- Ha-ha-ha.
- Come on, cheers!

["This is my party"
by wesu playing]

[Song continues]

[Song continues]

[Upbeat music]

[Vocalizing]

We had that building
covered front and back,

till this truck came
and jammed me up.

Don't worry about it,
tough guy. I've got you.

Mister Fleming,
we're on our way...

She didn't know me.



- And, she didn't know me.
- I'm sure she'll recover soon.

If we had money, i'd've
given it. What's money?

But we have nothing.

Our children bought
us the apartment.

You find the
b*stards who did this.

That's why we're here, sir.

In fact, I have some photographs
I'd like you to take a look at.

If you'd be so kind
as to take a seat.

It was dark. It
happened so fast.

Yeah, I know.
Please take your time.

I'm not...

Uh, I don't know.

Sir, listen to me
very carefully.

We know who the man is,
okay? But we need you to know.

Please...

Take another look.

Yeah. This is him. Yeah,
definitely. This is him.

Mr. Fleming: This is the one.
- And you're sure about this?

Mr. Fleming: Definitely.

Now, please, I want
to be with my wife.

- Excuse me.
- Thanks for your time.

Well, looks like
broat's our guy.

Yeah, well, if this ID holds up.

Why wouldn't it?

[Instrumental music]

Well... don't you
think you're clever.

Excuse me?

The woman he attacked
last night is in a coma.

They don't think
she's gonna make it.

What are you talking about?

The woman you visited
yesterday at 122 riverside drive.

I visit lots of apartments.

- That's my job.
- Right.

You also visited 431 west


So?

So, let me put it
together for you.

You find apartments
that are for sale.

You make sure the owner's
are old and they're rich.

You scout them out
for your little boyfriend.

Then he robs them.

And you know what?
We're going to catch him.

And, when we do...

You're gonna go down with him.

Unless you help us.

There's nothing I
can help you with.

Well, why don't
you help yourself?

Or do you enjoy being
his... his little punching bag?

Listen to me.

[Sighs] This is my card.

My home number's on the back.

Please use it.

[Intense music]

I didn't mean to hurt
that old lady, okay?

She fell.

It was an accident.

I'm not doing this anymore.

Just a couple more
scores and I promise,

we're out of here.

That detective
Williams scares me.

It's like he knows things.

Wha... he threaten you?

- Huh? He touch you?
- No.

'Cause if another man touch you,

I swear, I'm gonna hurt him!

I don't give a damn who he is!

I'd leave that man
alone if I were you.

Dion... Dion,
let's just go, okay?

- Anywhere...
- Wait, wait, wait.

What's this, "leave
him alone" crap? Huh?

Since when do you care
about some funky-a*s cop?

No, I don't, I don't!
I'm just... i'm...

- I'm just worried about you.
- Oh, yeah?

That's why you're
carrying this around? Huh?

What's this number
on the back? Huh?

You went in my bag?

- You've been lying to me.
- No! Get off me!

Not until you tell me the truth

you been with him?

- That's it. I'm leaving.
- You ain't goin' nowhere!

Oww! You promised!

Tell me the truth!

Have you been with him?

Yeah. I been with him!

I been with him!

And, he was better than you.

[Sighs]

[Intense music]

[Knocking on door]

- What about the woman?
- She's with torres.

She willing to
testify against him?

Uh... no. Not yet.

Alright. Well, let me
ask you a question.

Why is she at home? Why
isn't she in central booking?

Because broat beat
the hell out of her.

And, I think I can
get her to roll on him.

[Scoffs]

I take it you don't agree?

Any woman who
lets herself be abused

and goes back for more
is a flake in my book.

Well, we're not
goin' by your book.

You can't rely on
women like that.

- You're telling me about
women? McNamara: That's right.

'Cause you're not
thinking with your head.

Well, you know what, Mac?
No matter what part of anatomy

I'm thinkin' with, it makes
more sense than you do, alright?

Alright! Boys...

Cooper: Can we just
get on with this, please?

Lieutenant, this woman
is scared and she's hurt.

She knows that next
time broat will k*ll her.

Now, I believe I
can persuade her,

the safest thing to do
is to lock that man up.

Well, if we have Mr. Fleming's
ID we don't even need her.

Cooper: Oh...

We do have
Mr. Fleming's ID, don't we?

Well, we might have a
small problem with that.

[Sighs] Tsk, you've got one day.

And, I mean one day,
then we process her.

- Um...
- Fresh ice.

Thanks.

You're a good nurse.

So I've been told.

What're you starin' at?

You never saw a
woman beat up before?

A few.

Some worse than you.

Oh, so I guess I was
lucky then, wasn't I?

[Sighs]

You know, I wish I
knew why men do this.

Because you wanna possess
every woman you're with.

- I don't know that that's
true. Mariah: Sure it is.

Because, you're afraid.

Eddie: Of what?

Losing us.

So afraid of losing us,
you do everything you can

to push us away.

God, men are so stupid.

[Knocking on door]

Hey.

- You find out anything?
- Oh, yeah.

Men are stupid!

- Going somewhere, Jimmy?
- Yeah. Far away from you.

Awe, come on, jimbo.
Don't do me like that.

You are crazy. What's
worse, you're unprofessional.

Alright, alright.

My bad, alright? My mistake.

I messed up, okay?

Just give me a chance
to come correct, man.

You know they're
looking for you.

I got us a townhouse
on seventy-first.

The folks can hardly walk.

And they're filthy rich.

Who scoped it
with the girl gone?

Forget the girl!

I don't need her.

Too much heat.

It's an old building.

No doorman. Roof access.

I'll give you sixty percent.

- Eighty.
- Seventy.

That's my final offer, man.

It's a sweet deal.

All you got to do is
show up with your tools.

Mariah: Here you go.

You're welcome.

What is your problem, detective?

You're the one with the problem.

And what is that?

You need me to tell you?

Here's a dollar, go
buy some self-respect.

And I'll tell you something else

I don't feel sorry for you.

Who asked you to?

The first time a guy
puts his hands on you,

you walk. Period, end of story.

Oh, you think you
know what this is about.

- As a matter a fact I do know.
- How?

What, did daddy get rambunctious
with mama or something?

He did, didn't he?

Big, red-faced caveboy
whaling on his little Irish wife.

First of all, my mom's
Italian. Second of all, shut-up.

He take liberties with you, too?

You know, I'm beginning to
understand why guys hit you.

[Sighs] I'm sorry.
I didn't mean that.

The hell you didn't.

He was a good father.
But... she should've left him.

Maybe she stayed because of you.

Or maybe she stayed because
she thought she could change him.

And when she realized
she couldn't, it was too late...

She was trapped.

Moreno: These are so good.

Que te pasa?

Look, Eddie you've got
something to say, say it to me.

You're starting to creep me out.

Alright...

I know this may, you
know, come out wrong

or sound sexist
and selfish, but...

This is how I feel,
so I gotta say it.

Well?

I don't want you going
back out on the street.

You don't want me to be a cop?

Eddie: Not if it means
putting your life n danger.

Oh, but you can put your
life on the line. That's okay?

I was in the hospital.

I watched you die and
when you flat-lined...

My whole world sank.

I don't ever want to go
through that again. I can't.

I don't know what
I'm supposed to say.

You're not supposed
to say anything.

I just wanted you to know.

Well, now I know.

O'byrne: I understand
you have a female suspect

in connection with
this house invasion.

We have reason to
believe she's an accomplice.

- But you haven't arrested her?
- No.

My detectives requested
more time to work on her. Why?

- Do we have a problem here?
- Yes, we have a problem.

See, this house invasion
thing, it's got citizens very scared

and very upset. Now the
press is having a field day.

I'm getting calls from downtown,

why haven't we
made an arrest yet?

And I come to find out that
you have a suspect on hold.

No. I... I don't care
what your guys thought.

See, this comes down to
what I mentioned before.

Control and discipline. Right?

Either you're in charge of your
squad or you're not, lieutenant.

- Which is it?
- I'm in charge.

Then act like it!
Bring the woman in.

Read her her rights,
interrogate her, and book her.

And the next time you feel
like deviating from procedure,

you check with me
first. I'm pulling the reins

in on your little cowboy crew
here. Do you understand me?

Yes. I understand you.
And I will listen to you,

and I will give you the
respect that your rank merits.

But don't you ever again
make the mistake of thinking that

you can speak to me like that,
Arthur. Do you understand me?

Bring the woman in.

Yes, sir.

The da will reduce your charges.

Now you may not
even have to do time.

Look, all I want is
to get away from him.

- I understand that, but...
- No, you don't understand.

Look, what's gonna happen
when he gets out of prison

and come after me? Are you
gonna be there to protect me?

Whether or not this man goes
to prison, he's gonna come

after you. So now
what're you gonna do?

You gonna run around
afraid for the rest of your life?

Leave me alone.

This isn't just
about fear, is it?

Don't tell me you still
are in love with this man?

- You don't get it.
- Then explain it to me.

I don't think he
meant to hurt me.

Look, I know you don't
believe me, but he needs me.

In a way, i... I
feel sorry for him.

This man beats
you. He beats you...

And on top of
that, he's a thief.

And you're tellin' me
you feel sorry for him?

- He wasn't like that at first...
- Well, you know what...

- He was sweet and gentle...
- You know what? He has changed.

No. Deep down
inside, he's the same.

He's a scared little boy.

J.c.: Just give me a
little more time with her.

There is no more time,
Williams. Fun and games are over.

- You said twenty-four hours.
- What?

Am I talking to myself, here?

Lieutenant, this woman is not
a criminal. She made a mistake.

Yeah, she made a
mistake. A bad one.

What are you trying to
protect her for, Williams?

Do you have something
personal goin' on with this woman?

No! Not in the way you think.

Listen, I know we see
criminals, we see drug dealers,

we see rapists,
we see murderers.

Okay, that's...
that's part of the job.

But, every now and
then, you see a person

who's a good
person in a bad place.

Now, I would rather
try saving this woman

than just throwing her away.

Oh, that's very
charitable, Williams.

Wanna try saving somebody?
Try saving broat's next victim.

[Instrumental music]

I'm lieutenant Cooper.

Here's the
situation, Ms. Barton.

Last night a man
was shot and k*lled

in his home on west 71st street.

We believe that Dion
broat was the k*ller.

Your men were
with me last night.

I'm not saying you were involved
in this, but you are implicated

in two other assaults
and robberies.

Now we can put you away
for a very long time here.

Unless you co-operate with us.

I already told detective
Williams that I Don...

I know what you told
detective Williams.

I'm offering you
a lifeline here.

And I really
suggest you take it.

I don't want to hurt him.

I just want him out of my life.

You don't want to hurt him.

You feel sorry for him?

He doesn't feel sorry for you.

Have you seen yourself?

Have you seen what
he's done to you?

The next time he'll
probably k*ll you.

Not if I don't provoke him.

This is not your fault!

The only person responsible

for hitting you...
is him. Not you.

Did a man ever
beat on you before?

Then you don't know what
you're talking about, do you?

"I'm just too much man for you
to handle. I can't help myself.

Oh, baby, I'm so sorry,
it'll never happen again.

I just love you too much."

Can't you see that
he's living off your fear?

And you're just
giving him your power.

Take it back, Mariah,

or the only thing that's gonna
be left of you is your voice

screaming on a
nine-one-one tape.

What's up, champ?

What's happening?

I'm leaving town.

I came for my share.

Well, I ain't got no cash.

Well, that's okay. Just give
me the stuff. Seventy percent.

Okay.

Surprise...

You know, you should
learn your craft, ace.

Stay out of the business.

Some free advice?

Forget that girl. Run.

[Phone ringing]

- Yeah. Mariah: Hey.

- Where are you?
- The cops came by my house.

Broat: They with you now?
- No. They're gone.

Broat: Look, baby, I'm sorry
about what happened. You okay?

No. Not really.

Broat: It tears me up
when we fight like that.

I love you so much.

Mariah: That wasn't a
fight, Dion. You beat me up.

Broat: I know, I know. I
don't mean to hurt you.

I just want things to
be good between us.

I swear, baby, it'll never
happen again, I swear to god.

Mariah: You've sworn before.

Broat: But this time I mean it.
Just give me one more chance.

[Sighs]

I don't know, Dion.

Broat: You got to
believe me, baby.

I need you.

You want me to get
a job, I'll get a job.

We'll go somewhere
and start off fresh.

Just don't leave me.
I'm begging you. Please?

Dion, hang up the cops
are listening in. Hang up.

I think he bought it.

McNamara: What if he
didn't buy her story, you know?

She made bail, she's out,
she wants to be with him.

He's gonna buy it. His
ego is too large not to.

[Phone ringing]

- Hello? Broat: You okay?

Where are you? Are you alright?

Broat: I'm good.
They watching you?

Mariah: I don't know. Look,
why don't you go on without me

and I'll catch up
with you somewhere?

No, no, no, no, no.

- Where I go, you go.
- Tell me what to do.

Broat: Remember that place
we went to on the fourth of July?

Where we watched the fireworks?

- Alright, I'll be
there... Broat: Look.

Broat: If you even think
someone's following you,

turn around. We'll
hook up another time.

Mariah: Alright.
- I love you, baby.

I love you, too.

J.c., did you copy that?

J.c.: Affirmative.
I'm moving in.

[Upbeat music]

J.c.: This is
Williams. We're here.

Eddie: Ten-four. Let us
know when you see him.

J.c.: Four. So, you
know what to do, right?

Stand outside the cab until he
sees me. And then get back in.

It's gonna be okay.

If I had a nickel for every
time a man said that...

J.c.: Alright. I got
broat and a driver.

Eddie: Copy that.
We're moving in.

Get back in the car.

Mariah, get back in the car.

Mariah, what the hell are
you doin'? Get back in the car.

Damn!

[Siren wailing]

- Mariah! Eddie: Police!

Hey, broat! Put your weapon
down and put your hands up.

J.c.: Mariah, move!

You said you loved me.

I did. Until you
beat it out of me.

Now all I feel for you is pity
and I wanted you to know that!

You ain't nothin'
but a lying b*tch.

J.c.: Broat, I'm not gonna tell
you again! Put the weapon down!

Think he'll treat you
better than me? Huh?

It's not like that.
It never was.

And it never will be!

[g*nsh*t]

Don't move!

McNamara: Come on.
Let's go. Come on! Let's go!

[Sighs]

[Instrumental music]

So then she says that
it's not enough for men

to love their women,
they have to own them.

Yeah, I can see that.

Not all men are like that.

Listen, Eddie, I've been
thinking about what you said.

About me going
back on the street.

Uh-huh.

And I appreciate your feelings

and honesty and all that.

But...

But...

Well, I understand.

[Sighs]

I wish it could be different.

You know, i... I don't
want to lose you, Nina.

But, uh...

I can't, you know, I, uh...

Well, maybe it'd be
better if I went home.

I'll pack in the morning.
