:44:00
What the hell kind of
shakedown is this?
:44:02
Who'd you pay
in the borough?
:44:06
Nobody.
I didn't pay no--
:44:08
Who'd you pay
in the borough?
:44:10
I didn't pay nobody.
Now let go of me.
:44:14
We followed up,
and there's no doubt about it.
:44:19
The pad here in Manhattan
is bigger...
:44:23
and it's more sophisticated
than the one in the Bronx.
:44:27
The pickups here are made--
You want to get this--
:44:30
The pickups are made by...
:44:34
retired policemen.
:44:37
That way, no plainclothesmen
are directly involved.
:44:40
Now, we need investigative help
on this one, Chief.
:44:46
Ifyou need investigative help
and you don't trust your own men...
:44:51
why don't you requisition some
recruits from the police academy?
:45:02
With all due respect,
sir...
:45:06
backing us up is the only hope
the police department has got.
:45:09
Good cops would come forward if they
thought there was encouragement...
:45:12
in the department to do so, and if
they thought it would do any good.
:45:15
If there's no encouragement,
they're not gonna do it.
:45:17
I've done a lot more than most
people to defend and preserve...
:45:21
the image of this department
and protect Commissioner Delaney...
:45:24
against reckless and irresponsible
assaults from outside agencies.
:45:30
That's it, huh?
:45:32
I mean, that's what's
really important, isn't it?
:45:36
That's what
you want to know--
:45:38
what outside agencies
I've been to, right?
:45:43
- Hello.
- Hello, prick.
:45:44
- Who is this?
- Frank.
:45:47
- How are you? Where are you?
- I'm ready to go to the Times.
:45:51
It's a goddamn
serious step, Frank.
:45:55
I don't know if
the timing is right.
