:28:01
Of course, he could see through me
like a pane of glass.
:28:06
I remember one night, Tony,
:28:09
the old man sat down across from me
with a bottle of Irish between us.
:28:14
Didn't say anything,
so I didn't say anything.
:28:16
The bottle went down,
and finally he said to me,
:28:20
"Charley, me boy, if the chips fall right,
:28:23
that old friend of yours, Tony Russell,
will be Commissioner one day."
:28:30
He could tell by my expression
how I felt about it.
:28:33
Not all bad. Not all good, either.
:28:37
Then he said, "Don't be a fool, Charley."
:28:39
"The department is big enough
for two big men,
:28:42
and if you're lucky,
one day you'll be his Chief Inspector."
:28:48
Of course, the old man swore one time
he saw a leprechaun in Loew's 83rd,
:28:52
so I figured he was prone to exaggeration.
:28:58
- Charley...
- Yeah?
:29:03
I'll be seeing Dr Taylor about his son.
Fill me in on that.
:29:07
That's a sticky one, Tony.
:29:10
About two weeks ago, an hysterical mother
brought her 14-year-old daughter
:29:15
into the Harlem Station House.
:29:17
The girl had been accosted by a boy
with a knife, who forced her into his car.
:29:21
Green two-door sedan.
:29:23
Two of the squad detectives
picked up Dr Taylor's son.
:29:27
- Did they work the boy over?
- No, I checked on it. Didn't touch him.
:29:30
You wouldn't leave me out on a limb
with this thing?
:29:34
Have I ever?
