: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.
:44:02
I don't know if
the timing is right.
:44:07
Look, I want it to get on
the record, that's all...
:44:10
in case something
should happen to me.
:44:16
I want it on the record.
:44:20
I don't know ifwe
carry enough weight.
:44:23
I don't know if the New York Times
will go that far out on a limb...
:44:25
on the say-so
of two flunky cops.
:44:32
Suppose an inspector
were to come with us?
:44:36
You know, I got 20 years
on the force.
:44:39
Just bought this place.
I signed a 500-year mortgage on it.
:44:44
- Turn that thing off out there!
- Come on. Everybody to bed.
:44:47
- Aw, Mom!
- Turn that damn thing down!
:44:49
Come on, now.
Go on upstairs.
:44:51
You said we could go
to bed late!
:44:54
This is against department
regulations, you both know that.
:44:57
If they want to throw the book
at me, they can do it.
