:43:01
I can open up a whole can
of peas with this.
:43:03
It's scary.
:43:06
I wanna protect myself.
:43:09
- You know what we do with this?
- What?
:43:11
We take it to
lnspector Kellogg.
:43:18
Kellogg-- Didn't he used
to be in plainclothes?
:43:22
He's the second-highest ranking cop
in the department of investigations.
:43:25
- So what?
- What do you mean, "so what?"
:43:27
I happened to be instrumental
in getting the man his job.
:43:30
He owes me.
You understand?
:43:33
He's the most honest cop
I know, Frank.
:43:36
Frank, trust me.
:43:51
Things like this were common
practice in the bad old days.
:43:55
Hard to believe
it's still going on.
:44:01
Serpico, don't you think
it's kind of stupid...
:44:04
taking an envelope from somebody
you didn't know?
:44:11
What was I supposed to do?
I mean, give me--
:44:14
How would I know what was in it
unless I took it?
:44:17
You have two alternatives.
:44:20
You can force me to take you to
the commissioner of investigations.
:44:23
He'll drag you in front
of a grand jury.
:44:26
- I don't want that.
- I can understand that.
:44:29
Word will get out.
:44:31
Before it's all over, they'll find
you face-down in the East River.
:44:40
- What's the other alternative?
- Forget it.
:44:45
Well, what do I do with this?
