:17:00
Fifth Precinct's a nice quiet area, Stanley.
:17:04
Good springboard for promotion,
if you get my meaning.
:17:07
Lou, I've been down there
one goddamn day.
:17:09
Doesn't take a genius to figure out
something's going on.
:17:13
There's gonna be blood in the gutters.
These Chinese will muscle across Canal.
:17:17
They're gonna push the Mafia out. I'm
talking banks, real estate, drug money.
:17:22
Who told you all this? The DEA?
:17:24
They've been peddling that bullshit
Chinese Mafia theory for years,
:17:28
and they never made a case
in Chinatown. I wouldn't believe...
:17:31
You don't know what you're talkin' about.
:17:33
The Mafia concept's not
even Italian, it's Chinese.
:17:36
- It's Chinese.
- It was invented in China 1,000 years ago.
:17:41
- They call 'em Triads.
- Triads.
:17:43
That's what we have here -
the offshoots of the Hong Kong Triads.
:17:47
Stanley, you're letting your imagination...
:17:49
No. Lou, like hell I am.
:17:52
These people are the biggest overall
importers of heroin in this country.
:17:56
The fact that we don't have a single bust
against one of them tells me somethin'.
:18:01
They're smart. They're smarter than
you are, and Kearney, this Irish sphinx.
:18:05
At least I didn't change
my name, Wizynski.
:18:10
What do you want?
:18:12
You wanna attack Chinatown
with the 82nd Airborne?
:18:17
You're not in Vietnam here, Stanley.
:18:21
There, I never saw the goddamn enemy.
:18:23
Here, they're in front of my eyes.
They got no place to hide.
:18:26
This is just like
the South Bronx and Red Hook.
:18:29
You got a bunch of delinquents,
youth gangs... Call 'em what you want.
:18:33
Snot-nosed Chink scumbags. Go and kick
their asses. That's what you're good at.
:18:37
Youth gangs? These are midget hit men.
:18:40
You know what your problem is? You
work like a piece of heavy machinery.
:18:44
Nobody likes you, Stanley. They tell you
you're a great cop, but they don't like you.
:18:50
So what?
:18:53
Just put my request through, will you?
:18:56
Kearney, pleasure talking to you -
it's like one hand clapping.
:18:59
All of a sudden, this job's
made you an expert?!
