:42:00
- Let me see your shield.
- All right. There's my shield.
:42:03
- Where are you from?
- The borough. Manhattan 8th.
:42:06
No, goddamn it! I just paid
the borough this morning!
:42:11
What the hell kind of
shakedown is this?
:42:13
Who'd you pay
in the borough?
:42:16
Nobody.
I didn't pay no--
:42:19
Who'd you pay
in the borough?
:42:21
I didn't pay nobody.
Now let go of me.
:42:25
We followed up,
and there's no doubt about it.
:42:30
The pad here in Manhattan
is bigger...
:42:33
and it's more sophisticated
than the one in the Bronx.
:42:37
The pickups here are made--
You want to get this--
:42:40
The pickups are made by...
:42:44
retired policemen.
:42:46
That way, no plainclothesmen
are directly involved.
:42:50
Now, we need investigative help
on this one, Chief.
:42:56
Ifyou need investigative help
and you don't trust your own men...
:43:00
why don't you requisition some
recruits from the police academy?
:43:11
With all due respect,
sir...
:43:14
backing us up is the only hope
the police department has got.
:43:17
Good cops would come forward if they
thought there was encouragement...
:43:21
in the department to do so, and if
they thought it would do any good.
:43:23
If there's no encouragement,
they're not gonna do it.
:43:25
I've done a lot more than most
people to defend and preserve...
:43:28
the image of this department
and protect Commissioner Delaney...
:43:32
against reckless and irresponsible
assaults from outside agencies.
:43:37
That's it, huh?
:43:39
I mean, that's what's
really important, isn't it?
:43:43
That's what
you want to know--
:43:45
what outside agencies
I've been to, right?
:43:50
- Hello.
- Hello, prick.
:43:51
- Who is this?
- Frank.
:43:54
- How are you? Where are you?
- I'm ready to go to the Times.
:43:58
It's a goddamn
serious step, Frank.
