1
00:00:52,611 --> 00:00:54,272
New York City.
2
00:00:54,980 --> 00:00:56,914
So many things have been
said about it...
3
00:00:57,182 --> 00:00:59,446
... but there's only one
I really like.
4
00:01:00,018 --> 00:01:01,178
"New York...
5
00:01:01,486 --> 00:01:05,684
... it can destroy you or fulfill you,
depending a good deal on luck. "
6
00:01:05,957 --> 00:01:08,949
No one should come here
unless he's willing to be lucky.
7
00:01:09,261 --> 00:01:10,421
And I got lucky.
8
00:01:12,297 --> 00:01:15,630
I had an apartment downtown,
but home was City Hall.
9
00:01:15,901 --> 00:01:17,835
That's where it all began.
10
00:01:18,103 --> 00:01:21,436
The day started out like other days,
with a ceremonial function.
11
00:01:21,707 --> 00:01:25,370
The mayor was giving the key to
the city to the governor of Tokyo.
12
00:01:25,911 --> 00:01:28,846
- He liked soup for breakfast.
Fish soup.
13
00:01:29,381 --> 00:01:31,815
My dad offered to put it on the menu.
14
00:01:32,084 --> 00:01:34,109
But, "No, no,"
Mr. Hayatama said...
15
00:01:34,419 --> 00:01:36,182
...who was a very gentle soul.
16
00:01:36,488 --> 00:01:38,456
"No, it would be
too much trouble."
17
00:01:38,757 --> 00:01:41,521
My dad replied, "Too much trouble
is no customers."
18
00:01:42,060 --> 00:01:46,292
The mayor, and he was the best mayor
the city ever had, was my boss.
19
00:01:46,565 --> 00:01:47,964
I was his deputy mayor.
20
00:01:48,233 --> 00:01:49,222
His right-hand man.
21
00:01:49,501 --> 00:01:50,866
Or his boy...
22
00:01:51,203 --> 00:01:53,603
... depending on who was
talking about me.
23
00:01:53,972 --> 00:01:55,303
But in Brooklyn...
24
00:01:55,707 --> 00:01:58,835
... something else was going on
that would change everything.
25
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:02,874
It started with a cop...
26
00:02:03,215 --> 00:02:06,480
... Eddie Santos, the toughest detective
in Brooklyn North.
27
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,081
He was on his way to a meeting
with Tino Zapatti, a drug dealer...
28
00:02:12,391 --> 00:02:16,987
... whose only distinction was being a
nephew to Paul Zapatti, a mafia boss.
29
00:02:21,366 --> 00:02:24,335
James Bone,
a child on his way to school.
30
00:02:24,603 --> 00:02:25,831
Watch your step.
31
00:02:30,342 --> 00:02:32,810
Finally, Vinnie Zapatti,
cousin to Tino...
32
00:02:33,044 --> 00:02:36,138
... a rat Detective Eddie Santos
had in his pocket.
33
00:02:40,419 --> 00:02:42,319
- All set?
- Let's go.
34
00:03:03,909 --> 00:03:07,902
It happened on the corner of
Broadway and Marcy in North Brooklyn.
35
00:03:08,146 --> 00:03:10,808
- You ain't going out in no playground.
- Please?
36
00:03:11,082 --> 00:03:13,277
- No, it's raining too hard.
- Oh, man.
37
00:03:31,236 --> 00:03:32,601
Here comes our boy.
38
00:03:34,806 --> 00:03:35,932
Get out of the car.
39
00:03:36,274 --> 00:03:37,935
You said you wouldn't take him in.
40
00:03:38,210 --> 00:03:39,609
Just want to talk with him.
41
00:03:44,749 --> 00:03:45,943
Turn him away from me.
42
00:03:53,425 --> 00:03:54,551
Keep up with me.
43
00:03:54,826 --> 00:03:56,453
You can move faster than that.
44
00:04:01,967 --> 00:04:02,934
Yo, Tino!
45
00:04:03,201 --> 00:04:05,795
- Hey, how you doing?
- What's going on?
46
00:04:06,071 --> 00:04:07,436
I got something for you.
47
00:04:07,839 --> 00:04:09,500
What the fuck is wrong with you?
48
00:04:10,075 --> 00:04:10,871
Hey, Tino.
49
00:04:39,871 --> 00:04:42,863
Two men dedicated to
the lives of their families...
50
00:04:43,141 --> 00:04:46,474
...bridging the continents
of Asia and Southern Europe...
51
00:04:46,711 --> 00:04:49,646
- Can it wait?
- No, no, right now. Please.
52
00:04:49,981 --> 00:04:53,212
Two men, crossing two continents
to meet in a third...
53
00:04:53,518 --> 00:04:55,349
...as we have here today...
54
00:04:55,620 --> 00:04:57,713
...the governor of Tokyo
and the mayor of New York.
55
00:04:58,023 --> 00:04:59,581
Welcome to New York City...
56
00:04:59,891 --> 00:05:02,189
...the sushi capital of the world.
57
00:05:02,460 --> 00:05:03,222
Welcome. Enjoy.
58
00:05:03,862 --> 00:05:04,920
Sayonara.
59
00:05:11,736 --> 00:05:13,328
We got a shootout...
60
00:05:22,981 --> 00:05:24,039
Kid's dead.
61
00:05:24,549 --> 00:05:25,880
So's the dealer.
62
00:05:26,651 --> 00:05:27,709
And the cop?
63
00:05:28,019 --> 00:05:28,747
Not good.
64
00:05:31,356 --> 00:05:32,914
Whose bullet killed the child?
65
00:05:33,925 --> 00:05:34,755
We don't know yet.
66
00:05:39,197 --> 00:05:40,095
What's our ETA?
67
00:05:40,765 --> 00:05:42,232
Bellevue in 10, sir.
68
00:05:44,035 --> 00:05:46,230
How old was the...
What was it, a boy?
69
00:05:46,871 --> 00:05:48,099
Six years old.
70
00:05:51,943 --> 00:05:54,776
And what was our budget
as of midnight?
71
00:05:55,113 --> 00:05:56,512
$31.7 billion.
72
00:05:58,383 --> 00:06:01,443
It costs a lot to have our
children slaughtered in the streets.
73
00:06:21,006 --> 00:06:23,167
Coming through.
Step back, please.
74
00:06:26,044 --> 00:06:26,840
How's he doing?
75
00:06:27,112 --> 00:06:28,579
Just coming out of surgery.
76
00:06:28,847 --> 00:06:30,314
- Coming through.
- Give them room.
77
00:06:30,582 --> 00:06:32,573
Step back. All the way.
78
00:06:33,485 --> 00:06:34,247
Where's the widow?
79
00:06:34,552 --> 00:06:35,780
She's not a widow yet.
80
00:06:36,087 --> 00:06:37,486
You'll introduce me.
81
00:06:39,824 --> 00:06:41,485
Combat Cross,
Medal for Merit...
82
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,126
...Honorable Mention,
Department Medal of Honor.
83
00:06:44,396 --> 00:06:45,590
- Any kids?
- Two.
84
00:06:45,864 --> 00:06:47,764
Five and three.
A boy and a girl.
85
00:06:48,033 --> 00:06:50,661
Wife's name is Elaine.
Elaine Santos.
86
00:06:50,935 --> 00:06:52,266
Which one is she?
Don't point.
87
00:06:52,537 --> 00:06:55,062
In the red. The other's the sister.
88
00:06:55,340 --> 00:06:56,204
I'm John Pappas.
89
00:06:56,708 --> 00:06:59,142
- I'm so sorry.
- Thank you.
90
00:06:59,544 --> 00:07:01,637
If there's anything we can do...
91
00:07:01,913 --> 00:07:04,780
- Which one was the shooter?
- They're both shooters.
92
00:07:05,050 --> 00:07:06,415
One's dead, one's almost.
93
00:07:06,685 --> 00:07:08,448
We know the dealer.
Tino Zapatti.
94
00:07:09,287 --> 00:07:10,151
It's Paul's nephew.
95
00:07:10,488 --> 00:07:11,580
Punk.
96
00:07:11,956 --> 00:07:13,480
- What happened?
- Don't know yet.
97
00:07:13,792 --> 00:07:15,692
Detective Santos was signed out,
that we know.
98
00:07:15,994 --> 00:07:17,723
But he carried no radio,
wore no vest.
99
00:07:17,996 --> 00:07:19,520
- Any backup?
- Zero.
100
00:07:19,998 --> 00:07:21,556
Total breach of department policy.
101
00:07:21,833 --> 00:07:22,959
What was the guy doing?
102
00:07:23,234 --> 00:07:25,464
Taking a meeting with
a drug dealer? You got me.
103
00:07:25,737 --> 00:07:26,965
But it adds up to a dead kid...
104
00:07:27,238 --> 00:07:29,763
...and a dead nephew of the head
of the Zapatti family.
105
00:07:30,041 --> 00:07:31,065
Here's a guy headed for...
106
00:07:31,342 --> 00:07:33,742
...Attica on a 10 to 20,
and he cops probation.
107
00:07:34,045 --> 00:07:35,342
Probation?
108
00:07:35,613 --> 00:07:36,637
No jail time?
109
00:07:36,915 --> 00:07:38,815
Probation's a sentence
in New York these days.
110
00:07:39,084 --> 00:07:40,984
Which he skips out on
2 years later.
111
00:07:41,753 --> 00:07:43,914
We've been looking
for him ever since.
112
00:07:44,222 --> 00:07:46,486
The mayor will want to
step up for the wife.
113
00:07:46,758 --> 00:07:48,555
I wouldn't do that if I were him.
114
00:07:48,827 --> 00:07:49,919
And who are you, again?
115
00:07:50,495 --> 00:07:51,257
Internal Affairs.
116
00:07:51,529 --> 00:07:52,291
Listen...
117
00:07:52,731 --> 00:07:54,096
...we can bury Santos.
118
00:07:54,365 --> 00:07:56,424
And if it turns out
he was dirty, well...
119
00:07:57,102 --> 00:07:58,467
...good cop turns bad.
120
00:07:58,737 --> 00:07:59,499
Happens all the time.
121
00:07:59,804 --> 00:08:02,967
Sure. We'll give him
a full-dress funeral, to boot.
122
00:08:06,211 --> 00:08:07,405
Who is she?
123
00:08:08,146 --> 00:08:10,478
A lawyer for the
Detective's Endowment Association.
124
00:08:10,815 --> 00:08:14,080
I guess she'll be representing
Eddie Santos and his family.
125
00:08:14,753 --> 00:08:18,348
- I was wondering when you'd ask.
- You don't have to wonder anymore.
126
00:08:24,295 --> 00:08:25,057
Stop.
127
00:08:25,396 --> 00:08:26,693
- Shock him.
- Clear.
128
00:08:30,201 --> 00:08:31,327
He's flat.
129
00:08:46,885 --> 00:08:48,853
This city takes care of its own.
130
00:08:59,564 --> 00:09:01,054
Set a press conference for 12:00.
131
00:09:01,332 --> 00:09:03,232
Make sure the Post
takes the first question.
132
00:09:04,969 --> 00:09:06,732
You know what the
first question will be...
133
00:09:07,005 --> 00:09:07,937
..."Whose bullet was it?"
134
00:09:08,206 --> 00:09:12,233
Call Senator Marquand, be cool.
Tell him everything's under control.
135
00:09:12,477 --> 00:09:13,967
I'm just staying
ahead of the curve.
136
00:09:14,813 --> 00:09:18,044
Abe, get a copy of Tino Zapatti's
probation report.
137
00:09:18,817 --> 00:09:19,784
Which Zapatti is that?
138
00:09:20,285 --> 00:09:23,049
A nephew. One conviction,
off on probation. A punk.
139
00:09:23,988 --> 00:09:25,785
We're headed for Park Drive.
140
00:09:26,057 --> 00:09:29,424
How's about we swing over to the FDR?
We'll make better time.
141
00:09:31,296 --> 00:09:32,126
What's your pleasure?
142
00:09:36,167 --> 00:09:37,134
Where did the boy live?
143
00:09:37,602 --> 00:09:40,093
Give me a read on
the boy's apartment.
144
00:09:40,371 --> 00:09:41,838
515 South 5th Street.
145
00:09:42,574 --> 00:09:44,371
5th Street.
Marcy and Broadway.
146
00:09:44,943 --> 00:09:45,932
That's where we're going.
147
00:09:46,477 --> 00:09:48,172
We've got no advance,
no protection.
148
00:09:48,446 --> 00:09:50,846
That's where we're going.
I'm the mayor.
149
00:10:02,026 --> 00:10:03,550
Make room here, please.
150
00:10:07,098 --> 00:10:09,032
We need some help around here.
151
00:10:09,334 --> 00:10:12,895
- We need more police.
- When you going to send us some help?
152
00:10:13,805 --> 00:10:15,466
Glad you're here, Mr. Mayor.
153
00:10:22,447 --> 00:10:24,540
The father's seated in the corner.
154
00:10:45,203 --> 00:10:48,229
I'm all yours, Leslie.
Questions and answers. Who's up?
155
00:10:48,506 --> 00:10:49,871
- The Post.
- Marx or Sadler?
156
00:10:50,341 --> 00:10:51,308
Sadler.
157
00:10:51,876 --> 00:10:53,138
Then I know what's coming.
158
00:10:53,411 --> 00:10:56,175
"Has probation become
a sentence in this town?"
159
00:10:56,447 --> 00:10:58,711
Judge Stern has a powerful record.
160
00:10:58,983 --> 00:11:02,146
He served six years and meted out
the stiffest punishments in the city.
161
00:11:02,453 --> 00:11:05,854
If the report recommends probation,
then probation it has to be.
162
00:11:06,157 --> 00:11:09,217
After that, they'll start in
on the mandatory crap.
163
00:11:26,044 --> 00:11:27,011
Good morning.
164
00:11:28,513 --> 00:11:30,708
I want to welcome the
Revs. Williams and Birch...
165
00:11:31,316 --> 00:11:33,341
- You got the probation report?
- In the office.
166
00:11:33,618 --> 00:11:34,642
I'll be there in a minute.
167
00:11:34,953 --> 00:11:37,387
- And my dear friend,
Reverend Milton Parks...
168
00:11:37,689 --> 00:11:39,088
...of the First Church of Harlem...
169
00:11:39,390 --> 00:11:42,018
...Reverend Chapman
and Reverend Murray.
170
00:11:42,327 --> 00:11:44,090
Thank you
for coming here today.
171
00:11:44,362 --> 00:11:45,920
I know it wasn't easy for you.
172
00:11:46,497 --> 00:11:49,330
Well, what can I say?
How do I start this?
173
00:11:50,068 --> 00:11:51,899
There is one thing, as Mayor...
174
00:11:52,170 --> 00:11:54,138
...that I will never get over...
175
00:11:55,373 --> 00:11:58,069
...and that is the death
of a police officer.
176
00:11:58,543 --> 00:12:02,001
There is one thing in life
that I will never get over...
177
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,714
...and that is the death
of an innocent child.
178
00:12:06,851 --> 00:12:08,978
But this is an incident
that won't go away...
179
00:12:09,287 --> 00:12:11,687
Tino Zapatti's probation report.
180
00:12:14,158 --> 00:12:15,182
The whole city...
181
00:12:15,493 --> 00:12:17,188
... all parts of the city...
182
00:12:17,462 --> 00:12:19,692
... Bushwick, Jamaica,
Washington Heights...
183
00:12:19,964 --> 00:12:21,727
... Brownsville, Harlem...
184
00:12:23,368 --> 00:12:24,494
This thing looks okay.
185
00:12:24,769 --> 00:12:26,862
Very okay. But
there is a conviction.
186
00:12:27,138 --> 00:12:29,163
Criminal possession
in the fourth degree.
187
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,035
In the fourth degree. A 4-C.
It's a probational offense.
188
00:12:33,277 --> 00:12:34,244
Practically a misdemeanor.
189
00:12:34,512 --> 00:12:37,379
Kevin, there are 4-Cs,
and there are 4-Cs.
190
00:12:39,417 --> 00:12:41,715
You keep looking at that
as if it weren't kosher.
191
00:12:42,020 --> 00:12:44,352
A cut of meat is kosher.
A piece of fish.
192
00:12:44,622 --> 00:12:48,490
Savory foods are kosher.
But a probation report is not kosher.
193
00:12:49,427 --> 00:12:52,453
A probation report is merely
a probation report.
194
00:12:52,730 --> 00:12:55,198
I am a good Louisiana
lapsed Catholic, Abe.
195
00:12:55,466 --> 00:12:58,560
Don't talk to me about kosher.
Give it to me straight.
196
00:12:58,836 --> 00:12:59,803
What's wrong with this?
197
00:13:00,138 --> 00:13:00,900
It's too kosher.
198
00:13:04,308 --> 00:13:05,366
Translate that for me.
199
00:13:06,878 --> 00:13:08,778
The Virgin looks pregnant to me.
200
00:13:11,916 --> 00:13:13,941
Look. The supervisor signed this.
201
00:13:14,419 --> 00:13:15,181
So what?
202
00:13:15,486 --> 00:13:17,215
That's a lot of weight for a 4-C.
203
00:13:17,522 --> 00:13:18,580
So what happened...
204
00:13:18,890 --> 00:13:21,222
...to the original
little probation officer?
205
00:13:21,492 --> 00:13:22,982
Where is his signature?
206
00:13:24,028 --> 00:13:25,791
Do you know this supervisor?
207
00:13:26,064 --> 00:13:27,258
His name is Schwartz.
208
00:13:27,532 --> 00:13:29,397
- A landsman of yours?
- Landsman...
209
00:13:29,667 --> 00:13:30,497
...landsman.
210
00:13:30,768 --> 00:13:32,429
Stop trying your Yiddish out on me.
211
00:13:32,703 --> 00:13:36,195
You sound like a Shakespearean actor
from a Savannah pogrom.
212
00:13:36,474 --> 00:13:39,034
- But do you know him?
- Sure. But the trial was 2 years ago.
213
00:13:39,277 --> 00:13:41,177
I was long gone from the department.
214
00:13:45,950 --> 00:13:46,974
Hello, Larry.
215
00:13:49,420 --> 00:13:50,751
Good to see you.
216
00:13:51,556 --> 00:13:53,023
This is Deputy Mayor Calhoun.
217
00:13:53,324 --> 00:13:55,554
The first deputy mayor
to set foot on this floor.
218
00:13:55,827 --> 00:13:58,261
We had a commissioner once,
but it was the wrong floor.
219
00:13:58,563 --> 00:14:00,428
- May I have a seat?
- Please, sit.
220
00:14:00,698 --> 00:14:02,598
Abe, you're already at home here.
221
00:14:02,867 --> 00:14:03,959
I think I know why you're here.
222
00:14:04,235 --> 00:14:06,601
I've logged 12 calls already.
Tino Zapatti.
223
00:14:07,505 --> 00:14:09,939
- You want to know why I handled it.
- Exactly.
224
00:14:10,274 --> 00:14:12,606
Because sometimes we get overloaded.
225
00:14:12,844 --> 00:14:14,141
And you take on the extras?
226
00:14:14,412 --> 00:14:15,344
The extra-specials.
227
00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:18,342
Such as Zapatti family members?
228
00:14:19,650 --> 00:14:20,810
Something like that.
229
00:14:21,119 --> 00:14:23,019
- Mr. Deputy Mayor...
- "Kevin"'s good enough.
230
00:14:23,754 --> 00:14:26,552
Any case that comes here
that looks like it's connected...
231
00:14:26,824 --> 00:14:28,155
...I take a special interest in.
232
00:14:28,426 --> 00:14:30,587
- Why's that?
- To avoid making mistakes.
233
00:14:31,996 --> 00:14:33,224
You sure made one on this.
234
00:14:36,100 --> 00:14:37,590
I blew one, okay?
235
00:14:37,869 --> 00:14:40,429
I don't mind admitting it.
But let me tell you something.
236
00:14:40,705 --> 00:14:42,172
I'd rather blow one in 100...
237
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,170
...than send 10 men away on
mandatories who don't deserve them.
238
00:14:46,010 --> 00:14:47,875
You sound like an enlightened man.
239
00:14:48,146 --> 00:14:50,376
And you sound like
you're fucking with me.
240
00:14:53,518 --> 00:14:55,076
You have anything to add, Abe?
241
00:14:55,386 --> 00:14:57,081
It's okay. You're doing fine.
242
00:14:57,388 --> 00:14:59,982
Everybody will want to know
how these things happen.
243
00:15:02,493 --> 00:15:04,791
How long have you been on this job?
244
00:15:05,163 --> 00:15:06,255
Three years.
245
00:15:06,764 --> 00:15:08,629
Look, these things happen...
246
00:15:09,100 --> 00:15:11,125
...because we are awash here.
247
00:15:11,736 --> 00:15:14,534
In criminals,
in half-baked social workers...
248
00:15:14,805 --> 00:15:17,069
...in a city that doesn't function,
in a world...
249
00:15:17,341 --> 00:15:18,831
...that doesn't know
right from wrong.
250
00:15:21,779 --> 00:15:23,576
- Mr. Schwartz?
- Larry.
251
00:15:26,784 --> 00:15:28,046
I owe you an apology.
252
00:15:28,519 --> 00:15:29,315
No apologies.
253
00:15:29,620 --> 00:15:31,986
I came in here
with a big head of steam.
254
00:15:32,256 --> 00:15:33,154
It was inappropriate.
255
00:15:33,724 --> 00:15:34,850
Look, it takes more than...
256
00:15:35,126 --> 00:15:38,323
...3 years to get up to speed
in this department.
257
00:15:38,696 --> 00:15:42,132
Only one man would have made
a good probation officer: Kafka.
258
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:43,890
And he wasn't available.
259
00:15:49,273 --> 00:15:50,069
Thank you, Larry.
260
00:15:50,341 --> 00:15:52,741
Call me if something
opens up in the big building.
261
00:15:52,977 --> 00:15:54,467
You know, keep me in mind.
262
00:16:02,386 --> 00:16:03,876
He'll be right with you.
263
00:16:06,324 --> 00:16:08,451
South Brooklyn Democratic Club.
264
00:16:09,460 --> 00:16:12,486
I don't think it makes
any difference whatsoever.
265
00:16:12,763 --> 00:16:14,025
Have your son stop by.
266
00:16:14,665 --> 00:16:16,860
I'll be happy to
take care of it.
267
00:16:17,702 --> 00:16:19,169
Gussie, come on in.
268
00:16:20,338 --> 00:16:23,000
Hello, Mr. Anselmo.
Thank you so much...
269
00:16:23,274 --> 00:16:24,798
...for seeing me.
- You look beautiful.
270
00:16:25,076 --> 00:16:27,340
- Thanks a lot.
- Let me get that.
271
00:16:29,380 --> 00:16:30,404
It's my pleasure.
272
00:16:30,681 --> 00:16:31,773
So how can I help you?
273
00:16:32,049 --> 00:16:34,210
- They're going to throw me out.
- Who?
274
00:16:34,518 --> 00:16:36,543
- Morty Brill.
- No one'll throw you out.
275
00:16:36,854 --> 00:16:38,253
He says I'm under-occupied.
276
00:16:38,556 --> 00:16:42,822
Can I help it if my daughter moves out?
Isn't she entitled to a life of her own?
277
00:16:43,094 --> 00:16:45,187
Of course. How is Helene?
278
00:16:45,463 --> 00:16:48,330
- Still working at the navy yard?
- Thanks to you.
279
00:16:48,599 --> 00:16:51,261
So what can you do for me,
Mr. Anselmo?
280
00:16:52,169 --> 00:16:53,136
Well, it's simple.
281
00:16:53,404 --> 00:16:55,235
See that Mr. Brill
obeys the law.
282
00:16:55,506 --> 00:16:58,942
You're grandfathered in over there.
If he says you're not, call me.
283
00:16:59,176 --> 00:17:02,942
A landlord like Morty Brill
looks for ways around rent control.
284
00:17:03,214 --> 00:17:07,310
How would he understand a law meant for
working stiffs like you and me?
285
00:17:07,618 --> 00:17:09,984
Thanks, Mr. Anselmo.
Thanks a lot.
286
00:17:11,522 --> 00:17:13,387
Mr. Schwartz is right outside.
287
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,018
Thanks, Clara.
288
00:17:22,133 --> 00:17:25,102
- I'm sorry.
- Would you come speak to my club?
289
00:17:26,604 --> 00:17:27,400
Which club?
290
00:17:27,672 --> 00:17:29,765
Terrible Tiles Mahjong Club.
291
00:17:30,107 --> 00:17:31,096
How many Tiles belong?
292
00:17:31,375 --> 00:17:32,307
112.
293
00:17:32,877 --> 00:17:34,276
You got it, sweetheart.
294
00:17:34,545 --> 00:17:36,069
- Just tell me when.
- Fantastic!
295
00:17:36,347 --> 00:17:37,905
You'll come for dinner before?
296
00:17:38,182 --> 00:17:41,777
- I'll make a brisket.
- I love brisket. Get home safe.
297
00:17:42,086 --> 00:17:44,987
Well, I'm taking a cab anyway.
Thanks again.
298
00:17:58,302 --> 00:17:59,166
Hello, Larry.
299
00:17:59,437 --> 00:18:01,997
- I got to see you, Frank.
- Well, here I am.
300
00:18:04,775 --> 00:18:06,140
How about a cup of coffee?
301
00:18:06,377 --> 00:18:07,605
No, thanks.
302
00:18:08,412 --> 00:18:09,470
We got to talk.
303
00:18:10,548 --> 00:18:11,742
Are you finished here?
304
00:18:12,783 --> 00:18:15,081
Well, the business of government...
305
00:18:15,386 --> 00:18:16,648
...is never finished.
306
00:18:17,355 --> 00:18:19,016
Come on, let's take a walk.
307
00:18:24,862 --> 00:18:25,624
Mister A!
308
00:18:25,896 --> 00:18:26,954
How are you, Milton?
309
00:18:27,231 --> 00:18:30,394
I'm as corny as Kansas in August
310
00:18:30,835 --> 00:18:33,963
I'm as normal as blueberry pie
311
00:18:34,505 --> 00:18:36,905
No more a smart little girl
With no heart
312
00:18:37,808 --> 00:18:41,403
I have found me a wonderful guy
313
00:18:44,115 --> 00:18:45,343
Speaking of blueberry pies...
314
00:18:45,616 --> 00:18:46,913
...bring us a couple, Milton.
315
00:18:47,184 --> 00:18:48,082
You, � la mode?
316
00:18:48,386 --> 00:18:50,149
No, thank you.
I don't want any pie.
317
00:18:50,454 --> 00:18:51,352
Apple for him.
318
00:18:51,655 --> 00:18:53,020
And coffee, Milt.
319
00:18:58,262 --> 00:19:00,389
- What's the matter?
- You know, Frank.
320
00:19:01,332 --> 00:19:03,095
You look terrible.
You should take a vacation.
321
00:19:03,367 --> 00:19:04,925
I don't want a vacation.
322
00:19:05,202 --> 00:19:07,170
I got 18 years in, you know?
323
00:19:07,438 --> 00:19:09,497
I save up my time.
I put in my hours.
324
00:19:09,774 --> 00:19:13,369
I'm eligible for pension in 6 months.
I don't want any vacation.
325
00:19:15,112 --> 00:19:15,874
So what is it?
326
00:19:16,814 --> 00:19:19,009
Get the deputy mayor off my ass.
327
00:19:19,483 --> 00:19:20,245
"Shrimpboats"?
328
00:19:20,718 --> 00:19:21,480
Him. Yeah.
329
00:19:21,886 --> 00:19:22,875
You couldn't handle him?
330
00:19:23,387 --> 00:19:24,217
It was easy.
331
00:19:24,822 --> 00:19:26,346
That's what I'm saying.
It was too easy.
332
00:19:28,859 --> 00:19:31,487
Don't throw bouquets at me
333
00:19:32,430 --> 00:19:35,160
Don't please my folks too much
334
00:19:36,066 --> 00:19:38,864
Don't laugh at my jokes too much
335
00:19:39,437 --> 00:19:43,100
People will say we're in love
336
00:19:50,381 --> 00:19:51,211
What was that?
337
00:19:51,816 --> 00:19:54,808
Milton and I are great
Rodgers and Hammerstein fans.
338
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,213
"When you walk through a storm,
keep your head up high."
339
00:19:58,689 --> 00:20:00,884
It's not your signature
on the probation report.
340
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:03,792
Now watch your mouth.
341
00:20:17,608 --> 00:20:19,075
That was quite a risk you took.
342
00:20:19,310 --> 00:20:20,368
The guy was wrong.
343
00:20:20,644 --> 00:20:21,474
No, Mayor.
344
00:20:21,745 --> 00:20:23,542
I don't care if he is from New York.
345
00:20:23,814 --> 00:20:25,645
Tells off a
Cabinet member like that...
346
00:20:25,916 --> 00:20:27,713
...he's your enemy for life.
347
00:20:28,085 --> 00:20:29,609
Secretary of Urban Development...
348
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,410
...that's the hand
that feeds the cities.
349
00:20:31,722 --> 00:20:32,586
You know, Senator...
350
00:20:32,857 --> 00:20:33,915
...they say a man's stature...
351
00:20:34,225 --> 00:20:35,852
...is determined by his enemies,
not his friends.
352
00:20:36,293 --> 00:20:37,851
It also got you
the cover of Time.
353
00:20:38,496 --> 00:20:39,360
You're going national...
354
00:20:39,830 --> 00:20:40,626
...Mayor Pappas.
355
00:20:40,931 --> 00:20:41,761
People magazine next.
356
00:20:42,032 --> 00:20:43,966
That "stature" thing.
Who said that?
357
00:20:44,235 --> 00:20:45,293
I believe I did, a minute ago.
358
00:20:45,569 --> 00:20:47,594
I was having an acute attack
of self-importance...
359
00:20:47,938 --> 00:20:50,498
...but it's about to come to an end
because here's the man...
360
00:20:50,774 --> 00:20:51,706
...to cut me down to size.
361
00:20:51,942 --> 00:20:53,239
Kevin, we missed you.
362
00:20:53,511 --> 00:20:55,604
Sorry, folks.
Didn't mean to interrupt you.
363
00:20:55,946 --> 00:20:57,573
Kevin's been busy today, I'll bet.
364
00:20:57,848 --> 00:20:59,076
This must be Mrs. Marquand.
365
00:20:59,416 --> 00:21:00,678
It's been quite a day for you.
366
00:21:01,018 --> 00:21:04,078
We don't want any stray bullets
around Madison Square Garden.
367
00:21:04,755 --> 00:21:05,653
Ignore the senator.
368
00:21:06,023 --> 00:21:07,422
He keeps a little
anchor to windward.
369
00:21:07,992 --> 00:21:09,016
Don't we all?
370
00:21:09,727 --> 00:21:12,457
Shouldn't we return to
the burning issue of the day?
371
00:21:12,730 --> 00:21:13,492
The convention?
372
00:21:13,764 --> 00:21:15,459
We'll turn this city
upside down for you.
373
00:21:15,733 --> 00:21:17,325
We'll stage the
right kind of convention.
374
00:21:17,668 --> 00:21:18,566
What kind is that?
375
00:21:18,836 --> 00:21:20,326
The kind that'll
reelect the President.
376
00:21:20,804 --> 00:21:22,465
Where will you go?
Second cities, like Chicago?
377
00:21:22,740 --> 00:21:24,799
Resonating with memories
of Hubert in '68?
378
00:21:25,109 --> 00:21:25,871
California?
379
00:21:26,143 --> 00:21:29,476
The land of Jerry Brown and Tom Hayden,
that nominates a Mondale.
380
00:21:30,014 --> 00:21:31,743
You could go to Miami,
but it's Casablanca.
381
00:21:32,016 --> 00:21:33,540
We'll make you a winner right here.
382
00:21:33,884 --> 00:21:35,613
You're not a New Yorker, are you?
383
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,911
Ferriday, Louisiana.
Huey Long country.
384
00:21:38,222 --> 00:21:40,190
"Every man a king,"
but no one wears a crown.
385
00:21:40,925 --> 00:21:42,586
I love this guy.
386
00:21:42,860 --> 00:21:44,987
Thank you so much.
Lovely evening.
387
00:21:50,935 --> 00:21:52,766
Kevin, give me a call
in the morning.
388
00:21:53,037 --> 00:21:54,732
I need some stuff for
the New York Times.
389
00:21:55,005 --> 00:21:57,439
An editorial lauding our choice
of convention city.
390
00:21:58,242 --> 00:22:00,836
The President loves a good
Times editorial.
391
00:22:01,078 --> 00:22:03,672
- Let me assure you...
- The vote's in. We got it.
392
00:22:03,948 --> 00:22:07,179
Let them catch their shuttle.
I'm sure they're running late.
393
00:22:07,451 --> 00:22:08,884
- Thank you.
- Thank you so much.
394
00:22:09,186 --> 00:22:10,881
MacNeil-Lehrer, Friday night.
395
00:22:16,894 --> 00:22:18,361
Zapatti's bullet
killed the child.
396
00:22:19,096 --> 00:22:20,358
It wasn't the cop.
397
00:22:21,966 --> 00:22:22,864
That's it!
398
00:22:23,167 --> 00:22:24,725
That's what passes for
good news these days.
399
00:22:25,002 --> 00:22:25,969
I'll take it.
400
00:22:26,570 --> 00:22:28,765
I saw Tino Zapatti's
probation report.
401
00:22:29,039 --> 00:22:31,166
Exemplary, but an odd thing:
402
00:22:31,909 --> 00:22:32,739
It's front-loaded.
403
00:22:33,010 --> 00:22:35,478
- With who?
- With supervisory personnel.
404
00:22:36,213 --> 00:22:38,238
But it's signed off on
by an honest judge.
405
00:22:38,515 --> 00:22:40,107
- Judge Walter Stern?
- Yes.
406
00:22:40,384 --> 00:22:41,316
Thank God.
407
00:22:42,386 --> 00:22:44,217
I'm meeting Frank Anselmo
for breakfast.
408
00:22:44,488 --> 00:22:46,183
- Oh, good. Where?
- Woerner's.
409
00:22:46,490 --> 00:22:47,252
Woerner's?
410
00:22:47,524 --> 00:22:49,890
- The hangout at Borough Hall?
- That's it.
411
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,788
When you go to Brooklyn,
you're Frank Anselmo's guest.
412
00:22:53,063 --> 00:22:54,325
Don't piss up his leg.
413
00:22:54,598 --> 00:22:56,759
Just get him off
this infrastructure thing.
414
00:22:57,034 --> 00:22:58,592
Nothing wrong with it...
415
00:22:58,869 --> 00:23:01,565
...just unaffordable right now.
Good work tonight.
416
00:23:02,406 --> 00:23:05,398
Mrs. Marquand couldn't stop talking
about the cover of Time.
417
00:23:05,643 --> 00:23:06,769
I think she collects them.
418
00:23:07,044 --> 00:23:10,070
National ink,
the mother's milk of politics.
419
00:23:10,347 --> 00:23:12,372
Did I hear right, or
did we get the convention?
420
00:23:12,650 --> 00:23:13,878
It's not signed and sealed...
421
00:23:14,151 --> 00:23:15,083
...but it is delivered.
422
00:23:15,386 --> 00:23:16,410
And you were the closer.
423
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,312
I thought I had him with
the second city stuff.
424
00:23:18,656 --> 00:23:19,418
Of course you did.
425
00:23:19,690 --> 00:23:20,520
You know why?
426
00:23:20,791 --> 00:23:21,621
It belongs here.
427
00:23:21,892 --> 00:23:22,881
New York City.
428
00:23:23,193 --> 00:23:24,319
This is the place.
429
00:23:25,863 --> 00:23:26,830
Excuse me.
430
00:23:27,431 --> 00:23:30,161
All right,
the story's on the 10:00 news.
431
00:23:30,434 --> 00:23:31,196
A little slow.
432
00:23:31,468 --> 00:23:33,902
A bullet took the life of an
innocent 6-year-old...
433
00:23:34,171 --> 00:23:36,264
... on his way to school
during a police action.
434
00:23:38,375 --> 00:23:39,967
They're all over it
like a cheap suit.
435
00:23:40,911 --> 00:23:42,742
It's going to stick
to us like one too.
436
00:23:43,013 --> 00:23:44,537
6- year-old James Bone...
437
00:23:44,815 --> 00:23:45,645
... on his way to school.
438
00:23:46,216 --> 00:23:48,684
Ballistics from the police lab
confirm...
439
00:23:48,986 --> 00:23:53,423
... the wayward bullet that killed
the boy came from Zapatti's gun...
440
00:24:01,832 --> 00:24:03,823
Here you are, Mr. Zapatti.
441
00:24:20,918 --> 00:24:21,680
Michael...
442
00:24:23,053 --> 00:24:24,452
...find Vinnie.
443
00:24:28,025 --> 00:24:30,425
I want to have
a little talk with him.
444
00:24:38,802 --> 00:24:40,201
Yesterday, on the corner
of Broadway...
445
00:24:40,471 --> 00:24:42,666
... and Marcy Street,
gunfire broke out...
446
00:24:42,940 --> 00:24:44,339
... claiming 6-year-old
James Bone...
447
00:24:44,575 --> 00:24:46,907
... along with 21-year-old
Tino Zapatti...
448
00:24:47,177 --> 00:24:48,872
... a convicted felon on probation...
449
00:24:49,146 --> 00:24:52,172
... and a 32-year-old
police detective, Eddie Santos.
450
00:24:52,449 --> 00:24:54,041
The Police Commissioner
has disclosed...
451
00:24:54,318 --> 00:24:57,719
... that an investigation is underway
into Santos' activities.
452
00:24:58,021 --> 00:25:01,218
Question: What was Santos doing
with a drug dealer...
453
00:25:01,492 --> 00:25:04,017
... wanted for probation violations?
454
00:25:06,530 --> 00:25:07,758
Good morning.
455
00:25:08,665 --> 00:25:11,498
It will raise serious questions
of corruption in the courts.
456
00:25:11,769 --> 00:25:14,203
Stern gave Tino Zapatti,
a drug dealer...
457
00:25:14,471 --> 00:25:16,632
... probation instead of
sending him to prison.
458
00:25:16,907 --> 00:25:18,431
The question
everyone is asking...
459
00:25:18,675 --> 00:25:21,166
... because of this
unusual disposition...
460
00:25:21,445 --> 00:25:23,276
... is why did the judge do that?
461
00:25:43,267 --> 00:25:44,234
Good morning, Mrs. Santos.
462
00:25:45,102 --> 00:25:47,730
I'm Marybeth Cogan.
We met at the hospital.
463
00:25:49,273 --> 00:25:50,501
That's Randy and Maria?
464
00:25:52,676 --> 00:25:53,870
These are my kids.
465
00:25:55,646 --> 00:25:57,375
- Please sit down.
- Thank you.
466
00:26:00,818 --> 00:26:03,719
- I'm sorry to have to talk to you here.
- It's all right.
467
00:26:05,656 --> 00:26:07,624
Hear from anyone
in the department today?
468
00:26:07,925 --> 00:26:09,552
A couple of the guys.
469
00:26:09,827 --> 00:26:11,089
What did they say?
470
00:26:11,361 --> 00:26:14,853
I called to pick up his things
from the precinct.
471
00:26:15,365 --> 00:26:17,230
They said his locker was sealed.
472
00:26:17,501 --> 00:26:20,265
But the captain came to see me.
He was very nice.
473
00:26:20,537 --> 00:26:21,765
What captain?
474
00:26:22,372 --> 00:26:23,703
Homicide South.
475
00:26:25,209 --> 00:26:27,803
Eddie's commander.
He's required to call on the widow.
476
00:26:29,179 --> 00:26:30,578
Is anything wrong?
477
00:26:31,381 --> 00:26:35,283
Don't talk to anyone without
checking with me first. Okay?
478
00:26:45,596 --> 00:26:47,723
We're in the wrong business.
You get lost?
479
00:26:47,998 --> 00:26:51,229
There's a key to downtown Brooklyn,
but I sure don't have it.
480
00:26:52,603 --> 00:26:55,504
Murray, Lenny, you know Kevin.
Kevin, this is Dan.
481
00:26:55,772 --> 00:26:56,898
Kevin, how are you?
482
00:26:58,375 --> 00:27:00,070
Tex, sit down.
Take a load off.
483
00:27:00,310 --> 00:27:02,710
Louisiana, Murray,
for the umpteenth time.
484
00:27:02,980 --> 00:27:04,174
Can't take a joke?
485
00:27:04,681 --> 00:27:05,943
Jimmy!
What'll you have?
486
00:27:07,384 --> 00:27:10,319
Oatmeal with skim milk,
bananas, brown sugar.
487
00:27:10,587 --> 00:27:11,417
So what's new?
488
00:27:11,688 --> 00:27:13,417
I'll give you the headlines.
489
00:27:13,690 --> 00:27:16,056
Standard & Poor's going to
lower the city's credit rating.
490
00:27:16,326 --> 00:27:17,987
We're going to close
two firehouses.
491
00:27:18,262 --> 00:27:20,355
Results: 150 demonstrators
at City Hall.
492
00:27:20,631 --> 00:27:22,428
The park commissioner
has quit...
493
00:27:22,699 --> 00:27:24,633
...to run the San Francisco Ballet.
494
00:27:24,902 --> 00:27:26,836
The stock exchange insists
on leaving town.
495
00:27:27,104 --> 00:27:29,231
Plus a zillion other
little rancid goodies.
496
00:27:29,506 --> 00:27:30,370
Plus a kid got shot.
497
00:27:30,807 --> 00:27:32,866
- And a drug dealer.
- And a cop.
498
00:27:33,110 --> 00:27:35,271
No wonder the deputy mayor's
here in Brooklyn.
499
00:27:35,545 --> 00:27:36,443
Well, but...
500
00:27:36,713 --> 00:27:38,340
...he's very welcome.
501
00:27:38,882 --> 00:27:41,578
The stock exchange,
where are they removing to, my boy?
502
00:27:41,885 --> 00:27:42,909
White Plains, they mutter.
503
00:27:43,220 --> 00:27:44,847
They've been muttering that
for years.
504
00:27:45,155 --> 00:27:47,089
One day they'll stop muttering
and go.
505
00:27:47,391 --> 00:27:49,291
That's why we need city land
for BankExchange.
506
00:27:49,559 --> 00:27:51,254
- No argument, Lenny.
- And a subway stop.
507
00:27:51,595 --> 00:27:53,825
And an off-ramp from the expressway.
508
00:27:54,097 --> 00:27:55,587
The city's $25 billion in debt.
509
00:27:55,866 --> 00:27:58,232
We're in no position
to build off-ramps.
510
00:27:58,502 --> 00:28:00,970
3,000 workers, you don't want
to build a subway stop?
511
00:28:01,471 --> 00:28:02,802
What's your interest in this?
512
00:28:03,073 --> 00:28:05,803
Did you buy a few options
around the city property?
513
00:28:06,043 --> 00:28:06,873
Of course he did.
514
00:28:07,144 --> 00:28:09,237
So did every other
developer in town.
515
00:28:09,513 --> 00:28:11,504
Notwithstanding that,
Mr. Deputy Mayor...
516
00:28:11,782 --> 00:28:13,807
...if you don't transport
their employees...
517
00:28:14,084 --> 00:28:15,745
...BankExchange will
dump this deal...
518
00:28:16,053 --> 00:28:17,350
...and forget about New York...
519
00:28:17,654 --> 00:28:21,146
...and put up their 60-story building
in New Jersey instead.
520
00:28:21,458 --> 00:28:22,482
So be it.
521
00:28:22,793 --> 00:28:25,523
The mayor loves BankExchange,
but can't afford infrastructure.
522
00:28:25,796 --> 00:28:28,731
You're flying
in the face of real politics.
523
00:28:29,766 --> 00:28:31,961
Subways get people to jobs.
524
00:28:32,669 --> 00:28:34,500
Jobs mean votes.
525
00:28:34,838 --> 00:28:36,806
I thought John Pappas liked votes.
526
00:28:37,074 --> 00:28:38,473
He loves votes, Frank.
527
00:28:40,877 --> 00:28:42,208
But no infrastructure.
528
00:28:42,846 --> 00:28:45,906
Much as the city approves of
a subway station and off-ramp...
529
00:28:46,183 --> 00:28:47,445
...it can't pay for them.
530
00:28:49,753 --> 00:28:52,688
- Where are you going?
- I have an appointment in Manhattan.
531
00:28:56,193 --> 00:28:57,490
This meeting's over?
532
00:29:00,063 --> 00:29:01,826
I heard you say no.
533
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:04,697
Can I offer you a ride?
534
00:29:04,968 --> 00:29:05,900
No, thanks.
535
00:29:07,170 --> 00:29:08,967
I make it quicker on the train.
536
00:29:11,608 --> 00:29:13,769
Here he comes. Judge Stern!
537
00:29:18,682 --> 00:29:21,549
Why did you give Tino Zapatti
probation, your honor?
538
00:29:21,818 --> 00:29:23,718
Why did you go soft
on the drug charge?
539
00:29:23,987 --> 00:29:25,921
Is probation a sentence
in this town?
540
00:29:26,223 --> 00:29:27,781
They're burying little James Bone.
541
00:29:28,091 --> 00:29:29,888
Are you going to the funeral?
542
00:29:31,995 --> 00:29:34,122
Get me the file on Tino Zapatti.
543
00:29:41,705 --> 00:29:43,036
Mr. Deputy Mayor...
544
00:29:43,807 --> 00:29:44,831
...l'm Marybeth Cogan.
545
00:29:45,075 --> 00:29:48,841
"Detectives Endowment Association,
Legal Affairs, Co-Counsel."
546
00:29:49,112 --> 00:29:49,874
Very nice card.
547
00:29:50,147 --> 00:29:52,809
I represent Santos, and
you're muddying my client's name.
548
00:29:53,083 --> 00:29:55,779
- Take it up with Corporation Council.
- And get it buried?
549
00:29:56,086 --> 00:29:59,453
You should tell the mayor someone's
taking him up the wrong street.
550
00:29:59,723 --> 00:30:01,884
Maybe we could explore this
in more detail.
551
00:30:02,159 --> 00:30:03,148
Maybe over coffee.
552
00:30:03,460 --> 00:30:06,224
I'm talking about a hero detective
and his widow's pension.
553
00:30:06,496 --> 00:30:08,191
Why don't you wait in my office?
554
00:30:08,465 --> 00:30:09,557
No, I don't think so.
555
00:30:09,833 --> 00:30:12,063
I'll expect to hear from you
in the morning.
556
00:30:17,774 --> 00:30:19,298
No, no, that's wrong.
557
00:30:19,843 --> 00:30:21,970
It won't go away
unless you do something about it.
558
00:30:22,279 --> 00:30:24,406
This is a crisis that could derail us.
559
00:30:24,681 --> 00:30:26,649
The way Willie Horton sunk Dukakis...
560
00:30:26,950 --> 00:30:28,679
...Tino Zapatti can sink us.
561
00:30:31,254 --> 00:30:32,380
Good afternoon.
Where you been?
562
00:30:32,689 --> 00:30:33,849
My Brooklyn meeting.
563
00:30:34,157 --> 00:30:34,987
How'd it go?
564
00:30:35,258 --> 00:30:37,818
I think I just pissed up
Frank Anselmo's leg.
565
00:30:38,095 --> 00:30:38,857
And?
566
00:30:39,796 --> 00:30:40,626
Felt good.
567
00:30:42,532 --> 00:30:43,294
Okay, Leslie.
568
00:30:44,301 --> 00:30:47,964
Tomorrow's Times, Post and
News are all keeping the shooting...
569
00:30:48,238 --> 00:30:49,136
...on the front page.
570
00:30:49,406 --> 00:30:50,338
What'd you expect?
571
00:30:50,607 --> 00:30:53,075
Nothing short of a triple axe murder
will take it off.
572
00:30:53,376 --> 00:30:55,367
Keep feeding the press,
morning and night.
573
00:30:55,645 --> 00:30:57,579
Emphasize our
tough stand on crime.
574
00:30:58,115 --> 00:31:01,084
The 20% drop in homicides
and street crime last year.
575
00:31:01,351 --> 00:31:02,613
Also, Stern's record.
Hard-line.
576
00:31:02,919 --> 00:31:04,580
Good, Kevin.
Corporation Council?
577
00:31:04,888 --> 00:31:06,947
We've commissioned a study that'll...
578
00:31:07,257 --> 00:31:10,954
...prove this city has the toughest
probation guidelines in the country.
579
00:31:11,228 --> 00:31:12,286
Excellent.
580
00:31:12,562 --> 00:31:13,995
Get Community Affairs involved.
581
00:31:14,331 --> 00:31:15,093
Tell Parks...
582
00:31:15,365 --> 00:31:16,696
...clean up their playgrounds.
583
00:31:16,967 --> 00:31:18,696
Hover, nudge, show we care.
584
00:31:18,969 --> 00:31:21,233
And then we got to do
something concrete.
585
00:31:21,738 --> 00:31:23,797
Something big,
something important.
586
00:31:24,074 --> 00:31:25,803
Something that means jobs.
587
00:31:27,577 --> 00:31:29,101
That means building BankExchange.
588
00:31:30,447 --> 00:31:32,608
I won't let these shootings
interfere with...
589
00:31:32,883 --> 00:31:34,510
...my program for the city.
590
00:31:34,784 --> 00:31:36,718
I'm speaking at the boy's funeral.
591
00:31:36,987 --> 00:31:37,749
James Bone's funeral.
592
00:31:38,288 --> 00:31:39,653
That's a blueprint for trouble.
593
00:31:39,923 --> 00:31:40,787
I don't care.
594
00:31:41,057 --> 00:31:42,319
It's the right thing to do.
595
00:31:42,592 --> 00:31:44,321
I don't think
you'll be welcome there.
596
00:31:44,594 --> 00:31:46,824
They got me anyway.
Let's go to work.
597
00:31:48,165 --> 00:31:49,894
Kevin, I need you.
598
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:57,902
So what happened?
599
00:31:59,876 --> 00:32:02,902
Frank Anselmo and his real-estate
cronies is what happened.
600
00:32:03,180 --> 00:32:06,479
They want the subway stop to raise
their land value on city property.
601
00:32:06,750 --> 00:32:08,411
The property around BankExchange?
602
00:32:08,718 --> 00:32:09,446
And?
603
00:32:09,786 --> 00:32:11,117
Anselmo said,
"No subway stop...
604
00:32:11,388 --> 00:32:13,151
...no BankExchange."
- And you said?
605
00:32:16,726 --> 00:32:19,422
I thought we could keep Anselmo
on the back burner...
606
00:32:19,696 --> 00:32:20,720
...but we need BankExchange.
607
00:32:21,064 --> 00:32:23,328
We need jobs. We need that money
going into the community.
608
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,397
Given the situation at
Broadway and Marcy...
609
00:32:25,669 --> 00:32:26,693
...it's politically expedient.
610
00:32:26,970 --> 00:32:28,631
The hell with
politically expedient.
611
00:32:28,905 --> 00:32:32,534
I'm talking about a 60-story building
that will employ 3,000 people.
612
00:32:32,776 --> 00:32:34,403
It'll put food on the table.
613
00:32:34,678 --> 00:32:37,738
That's what counts. That's what
we're about. That's BankExchange.
614
00:32:38,014 --> 00:32:39,174
That's all it is.
615
00:32:40,217 --> 00:32:41,809
You said we can't
afford a subway stop.
616
00:32:45,822 --> 00:32:46,789
That'll take politics.
617
00:32:47,424 --> 00:32:49,324
More than one way to skin a cat.
Get in there.
618
00:32:49,593 --> 00:32:50,753
Keep that staff fired up.
619
00:32:51,027 --> 00:32:52,289
You're the boss.
620
00:32:54,798 --> 00:32:55,765
What are you doing tonight?
621
00:32:57,834 --> 00:32:59,199
Hadn't thought about it.
622
00:32:59,836 --> 00:33:00,996
You ever see Carousel?
623
00:33:01,871 --> 00:33:03,930
The musical? You serious?
624
00:33:04,474 --> 00:33:05,463
A little before my time.
625
00:33:05,709 --> 00:33:06,835
You'll love it.
626
00:33:07,110 --> 00:33:08,543
Frank Anselmo will be there.
627
00:33:08,878 --> 00:33:10,072
I'm free.
628
00:33:59,729 --> 00:34:00,491
George...
629
00:34:01,298 --> 00:34:02,560
...Frank Anselmo's in there.
630
00:34:02,832 --> 00:34:05,892
Tell him to come up.
I want to see him in the lobby.
631
00:34:25,055 --> 00:34:27,148
Just list them for me.
That's all.
632
00:34:35,532 --> 00:34:37,432
Let me get back to you.
633
00:34:41,938 --> 00:34:43,030
We're missing the best part.
634
00:34:43,306 --> 00:34:45,866
You know it by heart.
I saw you lip-synching.
635
00:34:46,276 --> 00:34:47,402
Well, lucky I do.
636
00:34:47,677 --> 00:34:49,338
I couldn't hear all the words.
637
00:34:49,612 --> 00:34:52,240
I don't know if it's my old ears,
or the subway underneath.
638
00:34:53,249 --> 00:34:55,444
- Did you like the Billy Bigelow?
- He's good.
639
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:56,481
Good voice.
640
00:34:56,786 --> 00:34:57,844
What'd you think of the
Julie Jordan?
641
00:34:58,154 --> 00:34:59,416
Good act, no voice.
642
00:34:59,689 --> 00:35:01,884
My Nettie could sing better.
643
00:35:02,158 --> 00:35:03,716
We met 25 years ago, Westbury...
644
00:35:03,993 --> 00:35:05,324
I heard about that.
645
00:35:05,595 --> 00:35:07,153
Speaking of performances, Frank.
646
00:35:07,430 --> 00:35:10,490
I don't want to hear about
another one like this morning.
647
00:35:10,767 --> 00:35:11,791
Your boy embarrassed me.
648
00:35:12,135 --> 00:35:13,261
You'll have to live with it.
649
00:35:13,536 --> 00:35:15,163
- Why?
- Because he's my boy.
650
00:35:17,374 --> 00:35:18,204
There's oil...
651
00:35:18,441 --> 00:35:20,272
...under that vacant lot, Frank.
652
00:35:20,543 --> 00:35:21,305
Jobs.
653
00:35:27,984 --> 00:35:30,316
You don't need to politic me.
654
00:35:31,087 --> 00:35:32,384
I run Kings County.
655
00:35:32,655 --> 00:35:34,088
Jobs for people of this city.
656
00:35:34,391 --> 00:35:37,189
Not leases for Lenny, Murray
and all your greedy pals.
657
00:35:37,460 --> 00:35:40,554
Just because this kid thinks
he can elect you President...
658
00:35:40,830 --> 00:35:42,229
...you're going to forget
who got you here?
659
00:35:42,499 --> 00:35:43,796
I don't forget anything.
660
00:35:44,067 --> 00:35:46,729
You're developing a short memory.
Or a selective one.
661
00:35:47,003 --> 00:35:48,937
You want me to
refresh it for you?
662
00:35:51,107 --> 00:35:51,869
I'm sorry, John.
663
00:35:52,942 --> 00:35:54,034
Here it is.
664
00:35:54,944 --> 00:35:57,071
The off-ramp costs me five million.
665
00:35:57,347 --> 00:35:59,440
Another $35 million
for the subway stop.
666
00:35:59,716 --> 00:36:02,514
You'll get some from me.
The rest I got to beg Albany.
667
00:36:02,886 --> 00:36:05,514
I got better things
to beg for from Albany.
668
00:36:07,457 --> 00:36:08,651
I got a solution.
669
00:36:13,630 --> 00:36:14,619
How about a spur...
670
00:36:14,898 --> 00:36:16,889
...off the Canarsie Line?
- Are you crazy?
671
00:36:17,167 --> 00:36:19,761
A spur is $ 120 million
a track mile.
672
00:36:23,173 --> 00:36:25,437
BankExchange is good for the poor.
673
00:36:25,675 --> 00:36:28,838
It's good for the jobless.
It's good for the whole city.
674
00:36:29,112 --> 00:36:32,138
As for subway stops,
infrastructure, off-ramps...
675
00:36:32,415 --> 00:36:33,973
...we can't afford it.
676
00:36:34,250 --> 00:36:36,878
Then, you'll have to
forget the whole thing.
677
00:36:39,556 --> 00:36:40,955
I love the second act opener.
678
00:36:41,257 --> 00:36:42,724
Then you won't want to miss it.
679
00:36:43,026 --> 00:36:45,517
"This Was a Real Nice Clambake."
680
00:36:48,498 --> 00:36:51,092
I'm building up my IOU's
with Albany.
681
00:36:51,568 --> 00:36:54,503
The governor needs to
step up with a new subway stop...
682
00:36:54,771 --> 00:36:57,331
...or I won't support him
for reelection.
683
00:36:57,607 --> 00:36:58,835
And the off-ramp?
684
00:36:59,075 --> 00:36:59,905
Next year.
685
00:37:00,176 --> 00:37:02,872
- It's already in my budget.
- Next year's too far.
686
00:37:03,146 --> 00:37:05,944
You're only a boss, Frank.
I'm the fucking mayor.
687
00:37:06,216 --> 00:37:07,410
Mayors rule.
688
00:37:08,418 --> 00:37:09,612
BankExchange.
689
00:37:10,253 --> 00:37:11,811
My way or the highway.
690
00:37:13,189 --> 00:37:15,885
Why do I get the feeling
you're getting the bigger half?
691
00:37:16,159 --> 00:37:18,059
Let me ask you something.
692
00:37:18,328 --> 00:37:19,886
If I'd have offered you less...
693
00:37:20,163 --> 00:37:22,427
...would you have been polite
and taken it?
694
00:37:24,033 --> 00:37:25,022
Of course.
695
00:37:25,301 --> 00:37:26,928
You got what you wanted.
696
00:37:42,252 --> 00:37:43,719
I like to kiss the pretty ones.
697
00:37:44,020 --> 00:37:45,920
There's another pretty one.
698
00:37:52,395 --> 00:37:53,453
You got BankExchange.
699
00:37:53,730 --> 00:37:55,595
- How did you know?
- I saw the kiss.
700
00:37:55,865 --> 00:37:57,457
I saw the smile.
How'd you get it?
701
00:37:57,734 --> 00:37:58,826
I didn't say no.
702
00:37:59,102 --> 00:38:00,899
But he'll take a bath
on those leases.
703
00:38:01,170 --> 00:38:02,262
It'll just take him longer.
704
00:38:02,539 --> 00:38:04,598
- Something for him, something for me.
- More for you?
705
00:38:04,841 --> 00:38:06,536
No, no.
More for the city.
706
00:38:06,809 --> 00:38:07,707
Hey, cigar.
707
00:38:07,977 --> 00:38:09,376
Sneaking in a drink for Sydney?
708
00:38:09,879 --> 00:38:11,244
I was.
Now they're both for me.
709
00:38:11,514 --> 00:38:13,345
Helps Frank Anselmo go down.
710
00:38:13,950 --> 00:38:16,748
Off-ramp and a subway stop
already budgeted for.
711
00:38:17,053 --> 00:38:18,281
But I'm left holding the bag.
712
00:38:18,588 --> 00:38:19,987
What are you complaining about?
713
00:38:20,256 --> 00:38:21,382
The bag's full of cash.
714
00:38:21,691 --> 00:38:22,919
Minus a year.
715
00:38:23,192 --> 00:38:25,854
You can weather a year.
You can weather 100 years.
716
00:38:26,129 --> 00:38:29,223
I've got partners.
You're my partners.
717
00:38:29,499 --> 00:38:31,524
You're holding so many
options on land...
718
00:38:31,801 --> 00:38:32,893
...you could buy Brooklyn.
719
00:38:33,169 --> 00:38:36,195
You could probably
buy Staten Island too.
720
00:38:37,974 --> 00:38:39,805
Would you excuse us, please?
721
00:38:40,043 --> 00:38:40,941
Of course.
722
00:38:41,377 --> 00:38:42,776
I got an appointment anyway.
723
00:38:43,046 --> 00:38:44,980
Good.
Then it works out nicely.
724
00:38:52,255 --> 00:38:54,780
You sure
BankExchange is all set?
725
00:38:55,425 --> 00:38:56,551
We got everything we wanted.
726
00:38:58,027 --> 00:38:59,892
Now you can get
something else for me.
727
00:39:00,163 --> 00:39:02,290
- What's that?
- My name out of the papers.
728
00:39:02,799 --> 00:39:03,561
How?
729
00:39:04,300 --> 00:39:05,858
With $40,000.
730
00:39:06,402 --> 00:39:08,393
What am I going to do with $40,000?
731
00:39:08,871 --> 00:39:10,532
Let me ask you a question.
732
00:39:11,474 --> 00:39:13,533
You ever heard of a cop
with $40,000?
733
00:39:18,381 --> 00:39:19,348
Who wasn't crooked?
734
00:39:22,585 --> 00:39:26,248
A cop with $40,000
would make big headlines.
735
00:39:29,325 --> 00:39:30,656
Say hello to Nettie for me.
736
00:39:30,927 --> 00:39:32,258
I will.
737
00:39:34,063 --> 00:39:35,860
- Take care.
- All right.
738
00:39:40,436 --> 00:39:41,994
That's for the dead cop.
739
00:40:29,419 --> 00:40:31,512
Reverend Chapman will introduce me?
740
00:40:31,821 --> 00:40:33,448
With one sentence.
741
00:40:33,756 --> 00:40:34,882
And then what?
742
00:40:35,191 --> 00:40:36,158
Get out of here.
743
00:40:36,459 --> 00:40:38,359
- And which way is that?
- Side door.
744
00:40:38,661 --> 00:40:39,753
No. Out the front.
745
00:40:40,930 --> 00:40:42,591
Is that a good idea?
746
00:40:43,132 --> 00:40:45,794
Intel's out there and they say
people aren't happy.
747
00:40:50,306 --> 00:40:51,500
Sisters...
748
00:40:51,741 --> 00:40:52,708
...brethren.
749
00:40:52,975 --> 00:40:55,000
The mayor of the city of New York...
750
00:40:55,578 --> 00:40:57,603
...the Honorable John Pappas.
751
00:41:01,584 --> 00:41:02,881
Thank you, Reverend.
752
00:41:18,501 --> 00:41:20,594
I was warned not to come here.
753
00:41:22,105 --> 00:41:23,367
I was warned.
754
00:41:23,639 --> 00:41:25,106
They warned me...
755
00:41:26,209 --> 00:41:28,643
..."Don't stand behind that coffin."
756
00:41:30,046 --> 00:41:32,708
But why should I heed
such a warning...
757
00:41:35,651 --> 00:41:37,846
...when a heartbeat is silent...
758
00:41:38,955 --> 00:41:41,082
...and a child lies dead?
759
00:41:43,092 --> 00:41:44,650
"Don't stand behind...
760
00:41:45,261 --> 00:41:46,558
...this coffin."
761
00:41:49,499 --> 00:41:52,798
That boy was as pure
and as innocent...
762
00:41:53,069 --> 00:41:54,627
...as the driven snow.
763
00:41:56,272 --> 00:41:57,933
But I must stand here because...
764
00:41:58,207 --> 00:41:59,640
...I have not given you...
765
00:41:59,876 --> 00:42:01,673
...what you should have.
766
00:42:02,612 --> 00:42:06,514
Until we can walk abroad
and recreate ourselves...
767
00:42:06,783 --> 00:42:08,944
...until we can stroll
along the streets...
768
00:42:09,218 --> 00:42:10,446
...like boulevards...
769
00:42:10,753 --> 00:42:12,687
...congregate in parks...
770
00:42:12,989 --> 00:42:14,217
...free from fear...
771
00:42:14,490 --> 00:42:15,957
...our families mingling...
772
00:42:16,259 --> 00:42:18,659
...our children laughing,
our hearts joined...
773
00:42:18,961 --> 00:42:20,895
...until that day,
we have no city.
774
00:42:22,064 --> 00:42:23,554
You can label me a failure...
775
00:42:23,833 --> 00:42:25,391
...until that day.
776
00:42:27,403 --> 00:42:29,735
The first and perhaps
only great mayor...
777
00:42:30,006 --> 00:42:31,303
...was Greek.
778
00:42:31,541 --> 00:42:33,270
He was Pericles of Athens...
779
00:42:33,543 --> 00:42:36,068
...and he lived
some 2,500 years ago...
780
00:42:36,345 --> 00:42:37,744
...and he said...
781
00:42:38,347 --> 00:42:39,905
..."All things good...
782
00:42:40,183 --> 00:42:41,582
...of this earth...
783
00:42:41,851 --> 00:42:43,876
...flow into the city...
784
00:42:44,187 --> 00:42:47,213
...because of the city's greatness."
785
00:42:48,090 --> 00:42:48,852
Well...
786
00:42:49,625 --> 00:42:51,354
...we were great once.
787
00:42:52,762 --> 00:42:54,127
Can we not be great again?
788
00:42:55,765 --> 00:42:57,096
I put that question...
789
00:42:57,366 --> 00:42:58,697
...to James Bone...
790
00:42:59,836 --> 00:43:01,565
...and there's only silence.
791
00:43:04,173 --> 00:43:04,969
Yet...
792
00:43:05,274 --> 00:43:07,003
...could not something...
793
00:43:07,276 --> 00:43:10,143
...pass from this sweet youth to me?
794
00:43:10,813 --> 00:43:12,678
Could he not empower me...
795
00:43:12,949 --> 00:43:14,940
...to find in myself...
796
00:43:15,251 --> 00:43:16,411
...the strength...
797
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:19,911
...to have the knowledge...
798
00:43:20,223 --> 00:43:22,714
...to summon up the courage...
799
00:43:23,025 --> 00:43:26,756
...to accomplish this seemingly
insurmountable task...
800
00:43:27,029 --> 00:43:29,293
...of making a city livable?
801
00:43:29,765 --> 00:43:31,130
Just livable?
802
00:43:32,768 --> 00:43:34,167
There was a palace...
803
00:43:34,437 --> 00:43:35,927
...that was a city.
804
00:43:36,205 --> 00:43:37,866
It was a palace.
805
00:43:38,140 --> 00:43:42,338
It was a palace and
it can be a palace again.
806
00:43:42,578 --> 00:43:46,309
A palace in which there is
no king, or queen...
807
00:43:46,582 --> 00:43:51,042
...or dukes, or earls, or princes,
but subjects all. Subjects...
808
00:43:51,354 --> 00:43:53,254
...beholden to each other to make...
809
00:43:53,522 --> 00:43:55,012
...a better place to live.
810
00:43:55,458 --> 00:43:57,255
Is that too much to ask?
811
00:43:57,526 --> 00:43:59,426
Are we asking too much from you?
812
00:43:59,695 --> 00:44:01,890
Is it beyond our reach?
813
00:44:02,164 --> 00:44:03,392
Because if it is...
814
00:44:03,733 --> 00:44:05,758
...then we are nothing but sheep...
815
00:44:06,035 --> 00:44:06,967
...being herded...
816
00:44:07,236 --> 00:44:09,932
...to the final slaughterhouse.
817
00:44:10,673 --> 00:44:13,506
I will not go down that way.
818
00:44:14,944 --> 00:44:17,435
I choose to fight back!
819
00:44:19,815 --> 00:44:22,579
I choose to rise, not fall.
820
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,187
I choose to live, not die.
821
00:44:26,589 --> 00:44:27,556
And I know...
822
00:44:27,857 --> 00:44:30,087
...I know that what's within me...
823
00:44:30,359 --> 00:44:32,418
...is also within you.
824
00:44:34,497 --> 00:44:35,259
That's why...
825
00:44:35,531 --> 00:44:37,089
...I ask you now...
826
00:44:38,467 --> 00:44:39,991
...to join me.
827
00:44:40,603 --> 00:44:42,127
Join me.
828
00:44:43,673 --> 00:44:45,971
Rise up with me.
829
00:44:46,208 --> 00:44:48,403
Rise up on the wings...
830
00:44:48,678 --> 00:44:51,010
...of this slain angel.
831
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,510
We'll rebuild on the soul...
832
00:44:53,783 --> 00:44:55,683
...of this little warrior.
833
00:44:55,952 --> 00:44:58,147
We will pick up his standard...
834
00:44:58,454 --> 00:45:00,547
...and raise it high.
835
00:45:01,190 --> 00:45:03,021
Carry it forward...
836
00:45:03,292 --> 00:45:05,089
...until this city...
837
00:45:05,628 --> 00:45:07,152
...your city...
838
00:45:07,430 --> 00:45:09,159
...our city...
839
00:45:09,432 --> 00:45:11,024
...his city...
840
00:45:11,300 --> 00:45:13,131
...is a palace again!
841
00:45:13,469 --> 00:45:15,437
Is a palace again!
842
00:45:22,745 --> 00:45:24,838
I am with you, little James.
843
00:45:27,583 --> 00:45:29,107
I am you.
844
00:45:49,438 --> 00:45:50,598
Thank you very much.
845
00:46:27,309 --> 00:46:29,504
Terrible thing to bury a child.
846
00:46:40,956 --> 00:46:42,321
Your trip to Washington.
847
00:46:42,591 --> 00:46:44,388
The stuff for the
Convention Committee.
848
00:46:44,660 --> 00:46:46,992
History of New York City
for Senator Marquand.
849
00:46:47,263 --> 00:46:50,755
Reservation at the Willard Hotel.
Lincoln stayed there, by the way.
850
00:46:51,033 --> 00:46:52,864
Enough about me.
Enough about me.
851
00:46:53,135 --> 00:46:55,603
What are you going do tonight
after I'm gone?
852
00:46:55,905 --> 00:46:57,964
I don't know.
I hadn't thought about it.
853
00:46:58,240 --> 00:47:00,640
You're going to
get yourself a good meal.
854
00:47:00,876 --> 00:47:05,245
You're going to pass up that
double cheeseburger from Roy Rogers.
855
00:47:05,514 --> 00:47:09,416
You're going to go to Dominic's
and get take-out, on me.
856
00:47:10,152 --> 00:47:11,050
Get a decent meal.
857
00:47:11,353 --> 00:47:13,344
But before you go to Dominic's,
go to Macy's...
858
00:47:13,656 --> 00:47:14,782
...and get a chair...
859
00:47:15,091 --> 00:47:16,820
...with legs and arms.
860
00:47:17,827 --> 00:47:19,658
That apartment of yours...
861
00:47:19,929 --> 00:47:22,022
...looks like it belongs
in a homeless file.
862
00:47:24,366 --> 00:47:26,857
Then it's off to Crate and Barrel
for a knife...
863
00:47:27,136 --> 00:47:29,127
...a fork, a spoon...
864
00:47:29,572 --> 00:47:30,800
...and a glass while you're at it.
865
00:47:31,140 --> 00:47:32,232
Then I'll need a dishwasher.
866
00:47:32,541 --> 00:47:34,736
Just throw them out
after you finish eating.
867
00:47:35,244 --> 00:47:36,438
It's on me.
868
00:47:37,413 --> 00:47:38,710
Get a life.
869
00:47:39,849 --> 00:47:42,079
I've got yours.
It's quite enough.
870
00:47:44,386 --> 00:47:45,114
You read this?
871
00:47:45,421 --> 00:47:47,889
Today's Times editorial?
"Judge or be Judged"?
872
00:47:49,625 --> 00:47:52,287
"Notwithstanding Judge Stern's
distinguished record...
873
00:47:52,962 --> 00:47:54,691
...one must ask,
'Would he be on the bench...
874
00:47:54,964 --> 00:47:57,831
...if he were not a former
law partner of the mayor's? '"
875
00:47:59,201 --> 00:48:01,795
I didn't appoint him.
He was nominated, like everybody else.
876
00:48:02,071 --> 00:48:04,631
Everybody knows the party
arranges nomination of judges.
877
00:48:05,941 --> 00:48:06,771
Whose side are you on?
878
00:48:07,209 --> 00:48:08,107
I'm on yours...
879
00:48:08,377 --> 00:48:10,971
...and I always will be.
But I smell a hanging party.
880
00:48:12,748 --> 00:48:14,477
We should put
distance between ourselves...
881
00:48:14,750 --> 00:48:17,048
...and Walter Stern.
- Distance is shit.
882
00:48:17,353 --> 00:48:18,251
Distance!
883
00:48:19,355 --> 00:48:21,118
Distance is something you do
to your enemies.
884
00:48:21,390 --> 00:48:24,621
It's the thing of the '90s to make
friends extinct. Distance...
885
00:48:24,894 --> 00:48:27,089
...is the absence of Menschkeit.
886
00:48:28,197 --> 00:48:29,824
Translate that for me.
887
00:48:30,099 --> 00:48:31,896
You don't know what
Menschkeit means?
888
00:48:32,168 --> 00:48:32,964
I don't.
889
00:48:33,235 --> 00:48:34,293
Menschkeit.
890
00:48:34,570 --> 00:48:36,731
You know, something between men.
891
00:48:37,006 --> 00:48:39,031
It's about honor, character...
892
00:48:40,676 --> 00:48:41,574
Untranslatable.
893
00:48:41,844 --> 00:48:42,902
That's why it's Yiddish.
894
00:48:43,179 --> 00:48:45,044
I didn't know you'd
taken up the language.
895
00:48:45,314 --> 00:48:46,906
Abe laid it on me.
896
00:48:47,850 --> 00:48:49,044
Abe's a good man.
897
00:48:49,318 --> 00:48:51,377
You're a good man, Pappy.
898
00:48:51,887 --> 00:48:53,445
Underneath that Louisiana...
899
00:48:53,756 --> 00:48:54,745
...cane syrup...
900
00:48:55,057 --> 00:48:56,649
...plain red dirt.
901
00:48:57,526 --> 00:49:01,189
Not that different from the
pavements of Astoria, where I'm from.
902
00:49:01,664 --> 00:49:02,756
You and me...
903
00:49:03,032 --> 00:49:03,794
...are sticking by...
904
00:49:04,066 --> 00:49:05,931
...Judge Walter Stern.
905
00:49:23,852 --> 00:49:25,479
Man, thou art dust...
906
00:49:26,288 --> 00:49:27,516
...and to dust...
907
00:49:28,090 --> 00:49:29,648
...thou shalt return.
908
00:49:53,916 --> 00:49:55,543
If there's anything I can do...
909
00:49:55,818 --> 00:49:57,649
...please feel free to call.
910
00:49:57,953 --> 00:49:59,818
- Thank you.
- It's the least we can do.
911
00:50:00,089 --> 00:50:01,420
Good morning.
Where's the mayor?
912
00:50:02,024 --> 00:50:04,288
He had to go Washington
on convention business.
913
00:50:04,627 --> 00:50:07,994
This rates an inspector's
funeral and that includes the mayor.
914
00:50:08,297 --> 00:50:10,697
The mayor's absence in no way
diminishes his concern...
915
00:50:10,966 --> 00:50:12,365
...for Mrs. Santos
and her children.
916
00:50:12,635 --> 00:50:15,763
Where'd they get all that stuff from
in the newspapers?
917
00:50:16,038 --> 00:50:18,370
At school they tell my girl
her daddy was a drug dealer.
918
00:50:18,607 --> 00:50:20,268
We'll get our press people
right on it.
919
00:50:20,542 --> 00:50:25,036
What about Internal Affairs?
What are those clowns doing?
920
00:50:40,929 --> 00:50:42,157
Where you going?
921
00:50:43,465 --> 00:50:45,763
- City.
- I thought we were in the city.
922
00:50:46,035 --> 00:50:47,059
Not if you're from Queens.
923
00:50:47,703 --> 00:50:48,931
Let's start over.
Where you going?
924
00:50:49,505 --> 00:50:50,267
Manhattan.
925
00:50:50,706 --> 00:50:51,468
Hop in.
926
00:50:51,940 --> 00:50:53,703
Go fuck yourself.
927
00:50:54,176 --> 00:50:56,144
Not to be disrespectful...
928
00:50:56,412 --> 00:50:57,936
...but the Transportation Department...
929
00:50:58,213 --> 00:50:59,771
...wasn't prepared
for 1,000 people.
930
00:51:00,049 --> 00:51:02,609
999. We were expecting the mayor.
931
00:51:02,918 --> 00:51:04,818
You're just going to
wait for an hour...
932
00:51:05,087 --> 00:51:07,055
...then ride a bus,
then slepp on a subway...
933
00:51:07,356 --> 00:51:08,345
Schlep.
934
00:51:08,657 --> 00:51:10,852
"Schlep."
Not "slepp." "Schlep."
935
00:51:11,860 --> 00:51:14,124
Get the gumbo out of your Yiddish.
936
00:51:22,504 --> 00:51:23,903
How do you feel about the L.I.E.?
937
00:51:24,173 --> 00:51:25,105
I hate the L.I.E.
938
00:51:25,374 --> 00:51:26,602
Take the Grand Central.
939
00:51:26,842 --> 00:51:28,833
Catch it at Astoria Boulevard.
940
00:51:29,311 --> 00:51:30,869
Go ahead, I'll show you.
941
00:51:37,619 --> 00:51:40,087
Santos was a good cop.
You're doing a vile thing.
942
00:51:40,956 --> 00:51:41,888
It's wrong...
943
00:51:42,358 --> 00:51:44,292
...to blame a dead cop
and steal a widow's rights.
944
00:51:44,593 --> 00:51:46,618
You keep saying that.
Nobody's doing anything.
945
00:51:46,895 --> 00:51:48,157
You've got all the answers.
946
00:51:48,430 --> 00:51:50,364
Don't even have the questions yet.
947
00:51:50,966 --> 00:51:52,900
Well, I got a question for you.
948
00:51:54,603 --> 00:51:55,365
You hungry?
949
00:51:57,172 --> 00:51:59,470
Swing by that diner up there.
The North Star.
950
00:51:59,708 --> 00:52:02,302
Best Philly steak sandwiches
in New York City.
951
00:52:03,479 --> 00:52:06,471
Or do you call them
Philadelphia steak sandwiches?
952
00:52:16,191 --> 00:52:17,590
Who we going to meet here?
953
00:52:19,628 --> 00:52:20,890
What are you talking about?
954
00:52:21,163 --> 00:52:23,825
You surface in front of my car
at the cemetery.
955
00:52:24,099 --> 00:52:25,896
You show just enough leg
so I'd stop.
956
00:52:26,168 --> 00:52:28,500
And the Grand Central
is the long way around.
957
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:31,206
Who we going to meet?
958
00:52:33,208 --> 00:52:34,470
Albert Holly.
959
00:52:34,743 --> 00:52:39,043
He was Eddie Santos' partner two years
ago when Tino Zapatti got probation.
960
00:52:39,314 --> 00:52:40,076
Thank you.
961
00:52:41,717 --> 00:52:44,743
Eddie got ahold of something,
he wouldn't let go.
962
00:52:45,888 --> 00:52:48,356
Eddie Santos was a pit bull.
963
00:52:48,991 --> 00:52:51,357
Pit bulls are ugly,
but they're not stupid.
964
00:52:51,627 --> 00:52:52,753
What was he doing
without backup?
965
00:52:53,295 --> 00:52:56,287
It wasn't the first time
he'd taken Tino down.
966
00:52:56,765 --> 00:52:59,131
He'd never had
a problem with him before.
967
00:52:59,401 --> 00:53:02,063
Somehow, Tino must have
got the drop on him.
968
00:53:02,337 --> 00:53:03,634
It happens.
969
00:53:03,906 --> 00:53:05,931
Why didn't he tell anyone
he was going up there?
970
00:53:06,175 --> 00:53:07,904
Because it was his collar.
971
00:53:08,210 --> 00:53:11,577
He made that case against Tino,
then the judge went south.
972
00:53:12,281 --> 00:53:17,082
There is no way Tino Zapatti could have
walked two years ago unless...
973
00:53:17,386 --> 00:53:20,184
...unless interested parties...
974
00:53:20,456 --> 00:53:22,014
...had the judge in their pocket.
975
00:53:22,791 --> 00:53:25,089
Walter Stern is a jurist
of national reputation.
976
00:53:26,161 --> 00:53:27,856
I don't care if he's
Oliver Wendell Holmes.
977
00:53:28,130 --> 00:53:29,722
Somebody got to him.
978
00:53:30,132 --> 00:53:32,396
And based on that one interview...
979
00:53:33,035 --> 00:53:36,562
...you were able to come to the
conclusion stated in your testimony?
980
00:53:37,506 --> 00:53:39,633
That, and the VA records, yes.
981
00:53:40,943 --> 00:53:43,343
Do you mind passing this
on to the judge?
982
00:53:44,713 --> 00:53:46,271
Based on only one interview?
983
00:53:46,815 --> 00:53:49,511
The defendant has a
lengthy, documented case...
984
00:53:49,818 --> 00:53:51,547
Please answer the question.
985
00:53:52,955 --> 00:53:55,389
- Would you restate the question?
- All right.
986
00:53:55,691 --> 00:53:57,556
Based on that one interview...
987
00:53:57,826 --> 00:53:58,588
...you were able...
988
00:53:58,861 --> 00:54:00,419
Where are you going with this?
989
00:54:00,696 --> 00:54:04,325
Your Honor, the witness interprets
the defendant VA record one way...
990
00:54:04,867 --> 00:54:06,562
...our psychologist
interprets it another.
991
00:54:08,839 --> 00:54:10,306
So much for expert witnesses.
992
00:54:10,641 --> 00:54:13,701
Let's take a break.
2:30 all right for everybody?
993
00:54:17,581 --> 00:54:20,641
I see you've already met
Peter Ragan, my law clerk.
994
00:54:20,918 --> 00:54:23,250
He's written
some of my best opinions.
995
00:54:23,554 --> 00:54:27,422
He appeared before me first time
I presided over the moot court at Yale.
996
00:54:27,691 --> 00:54:30,091
You could say Peter and I
are joined at the hip.
997
00:54:30,394 --> 00:54:31,224
Thanks, Peter.
998
00:54:31,495 --> 00:54:32,553
Please have a seat.
999
00:54:32,830 --> 00:54:34,730
Thank you for seeing me,
Judge Stern.
1000
00:54:35,799 --> 00:54:37,266
And how can I help you?
1001
00:54:40,204 --> 00:54:41,171
Tino Zapatti.
1002
00:54:42,740 --> 00:54:43,502
What about him?
1003
00:54:45,442 --> 00:54:47,137
How did he get off with probation?
1004
00:54:49,613 --> 00:54:52,173
I can only sentence in accordance
with the conviction.
1005
00:54:52,449 --> 00:54:55,509
He was convicted of criminal
possession of the fourth degree.
1006
00:54:55,786 --> 00:54:57,720
They found a kilo in his car.
1007
00:54:58,355 --> 00:55:00,186
Is it your intention
to try the case again?
1008
00:55:00,457 --> 00:55:02,448
Not at all.
But I read the rap sheet.
1009
00:55:04,094 --> 00:55:07,325
I am certified to this state
as a Supreme Court judge...
1010
00:55:07,598 --> 00:55:10,431
...and you're sitting here
rearguing a 2-year-old case.
1011
00:55:10,701 --> 00:55:13,169
You're out of line,
and I'll so inform the mayor.
1012
00:55:13,437 --> 00:55:15,405
I'm here on the mayor's behalf.
1013
00:55:19,543 --> 00:55:21,977
You think I've slept
the last two nights?
1014
00:55:22,246 --> 00:55:24,407
Don't you realize I know
what a mistake I made?
1015
00:55:36,260 --> 00:55:37,022
That's it.
1016
00:55:37,294 --> 00:55:38,283
Satisfied?
1017
00:55:39,029 --> 00:55:40,621
No basement or anything?
1018
00:55:41,098 --> 00:55:42,895
You saw it,
the rumpus room.
1019
00:55:43,167 --> 00:55:44,293
With the pool table?
1020
00:55:44,568 --> 00:55:45,865
That's right, Captain.
1021
00:55:46,136 --> 00:55:48,866
I'm only doing my job.
I'm very sorry...
1022
00:55:49,139 --> 00:55:50,436
Oh, sorry, crap!
1023
00:55:50,707 --> 00:55:52,299
You're snooping around like a Nazi.
1024
00:55:52,543 --> 00:55:55,569
Please, you know this is the
last thing I wanted to do.
1025
00:55:55,846 --> 00:55:59,873
Then get the hell out of Internal
Affairs and get yourself an honest job.
1026
00:56:05,856 --> 00:56:08,256
Marybeth? Two-bars has been
here all morning.
1027
00:56:08,525 --> 00:56:10,891
He went over the place
from top to bottom.
1028
00:56:12,463 --> 00:56:15,523
You got to do something
about Eddie's pension.
1029
00:56:15,799 --> 00:56:17,528
They're going to reduce it.
1030
00:56:17,801 --> 00:56:19,166
What about
the Police Memorial Award?
1031
00:56:19,436 --> 00:56:22,496
The precinct says it goes
to the next of kin.
1032
00:56:24,374 --> 00:56:27,673
Well, this piece of brass
isn't here to give me any award.
1033
00:56:32,916 --> 00:56:36,943
$40,000 in cash was found
in Detective Santos' strongbox...
1034
00:56:37,254 --> 00:56:40,087
...here at his summer cottage
in Ulster County.
1035
00:56:40,357 --> 00:56:41,984
Emergency Service Unit workers...
1036
00:56:42,626 --> 00:56:45,060
Frank?
Yeah, I'm up at the cabin.
1037
00:56:45,362 --> 00:56:46,329
They found the money.
1038
00:56:46,697 --> 00:56:48,494
Good work.
I'm watching it now.
1039
00:56:48,765 --> 00:56:51,825
What is the connection to the deaths
of James Bone and Tino Zapatti?
1040
00:56:52,569 --> 00:56:55,163
What was Santos doing
with $40,000?
1041
00:57:11,688 --> 00:57:15,522
The mayor understands the implications
of the discovery in Ulster County...
1042
00:57:15,792 --> 00:57:19,057
... but would like to stress
that these are implications only.
1043
00:57:25,402 --> 00:57:27,336
Can you believe this shit?
1044
00:57:28,505 --> 00:57:31,133
We never set foot in that dump
after Eddie's father died.
1045
00:57:31,375 --> 00:57:34,242
- It's full of hornets' nests.
- Yeah, busy hornets.
1046
00:57:34,511 --> 00:57:37,105
Never in our life
did we see $4,000 cash...
1047
00:57:37,381 --> 00:57:38,712
...much less 40.
1048
00:57:44,221 --> 00:57:48,453
There's only 2 people know
that's not Eddie's money. You and me.
1049
00:57:51,495 --> 00:57:52,257
Who is this?
1050
00:57:52,529 --> 00:57:53,621
Vinnie Zapatti.
1051
00:57:53,897 --> 00:57:54,921
I can get you out of this.
1052
00:57:55,198 --> 00:57:57,996
I can get you the pension, the medals.
You want them?
1053
00:57:58,268 --> 00:57:59,667
Sure, sure, I want them.
1054
00:58:00,003 --> 00:58:01,561
Good. Now, I liked Eddie...
1055
00:58:01,838 --> 00:58:04,102
...and I want to help you,
but you got to help me.
1056
00:58:04,408 --> 00:58:05,466
What's that mean?
1057
00:58:05,742 --> 00:58:07,767
An airplane ticket and $ 10,000.
1058
00:58:08,045 --> 00:58:09,945
$ 10,000!
For God's sake, I can't...
1059
00:58:10,213 --> 00:58:12,909
- That's a lot of money, what've you got?
- Who are you?
1060
00:58:13,183 --> 00:58:15,083
Marybeth Cogan,
Detectives Endowment Association.
1061
00:58:15,352 --> 00:58:17,479
I represent the Santos family.
What have you got?
1062
00:58:17,788 --> 00:58:19,255
I made the meeting
for Eddie with Tino...
1063
00:58:19,556 --> 00:58:22,024
...so he could give up
what he knew about the judge.
1064
00:58:22,392 --> 00:58:23,222
And what was that?
1065
00:58:23,493 --> 00:58:27,361
10,000 and a plane ticket.
I'll give you the destination later.
1066
00:58:27,631 --> 00:58:30,361
Your information is worthless
unless I can bring a witness.
1067
00:58:32,369 --> 00:58:33,836
Which Zapatti are we meeting?
1068
00:58:34,104 --> 00:58:37,369
Paulie had two brothers.
Tino was John's boy, Vinnie is Jimmy's.
1069
00:58:37,975 --> 00:58:40,307
So Vinnie and Tino are cousins?
1070
00:58:40,877 --> 00:58:42,037
That's right, cousins.
1071
00:58:42,312 --> 00:58:43,574
They have cousins in Louisiana?
1072
00:58:43,847 --> 00:58:45,075
Down there, we're all cousins.
1073
00:58:45,349 --> 00:58:47,010
If you got a cousin,
you got a vote.
1074
00:58:47,284 --> 00:58:50,082
Then why not run for office
instead of carrying the mayor's bag?
1075
00:58:50,621 --> 00:58:52,953
I consider it an honor
not only to carry his bag...
1076
00:58:53,223 --> 00:58:55,453
...but also to fill it with
things I think the city needs.
1077
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:58,052
Oh, the kingmaker.
1078
00:58:58,328 --> 00:58:59,920
The man behind the throne.
1079
00:59:00,197 --> 00:59:02,927
I'm beginning to suspect
you don't like politicians.
1080
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:06,966
You're no politician.
They run for office. You're a walker.
1081
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:11,665
Take a right at this gas station...
1082
00:59:12,342 --> 00:59:14,242
...because we are almost there.
1083
00:59:14,511 --> 00:59:15,307
Thank you.
1084
00:59:29,626 --> 00:59:31,924
Vinnie sure likes strange places.
1085
00:59:32,195 --> 00:59:34,595
It looks like Monday night
in Key Largo.
1086
00:59:34,898 --> 00:59:36,160
He's impersonating Mafia.
1087
00:59:37,234 --> 00:59:39,327
Vinnie Zapatti's a joke
to his uncle...
1088
00:59:39,603 --> 00:59:40,695
...but a dangerous joke.
1089
00:59:40,971 --> 00:59:43,030
As far as I'm concerned,
they're all dangerous jokes.
1090
00:59:43,306 --> 00:59:45,900
Do me a favor and
don't write them off just yet.
1091
00:59:46,143 --> 00:59:47,735
I said they were dangerous.
1092
00:59:57,921 --> 00:59:59,855
Wonder what Vinnie's doing
in a place like this?
1093
01:00:00,157 --> 01:00:02,648
Wonder what we're doing
in a place like this.
1094
01:00:15,972 --> 01:00:17,837
- This is it.
- Where's our boy?
1095
01:00:18,875 --> 01:00:21,605
- I don't know.
- Think Vinnie had a change of heart?
1096
01:00:21,878 --> 01:00:23,846
If he's a Zapatti, he has no heart.
1097
01:00:24,981 --> 01:00:26,846
- Let's go.
- Don't turn around.
1098
01:00:33,223 --> 01:00:33,951
Marybeth, right?
1099
01:00:36,226 --> 01:00:36,988
Who's this?
1100
01:00:37,260 --> 01:00:38,386
He's the deputy mayor.
1101
01:00:39,096 --> 01:00:41,724
Deputy mayor?
What do I need you for, then?
1102
01:00:42,099 --> 01:00:44,397
Don't get smart.
I'm the only chance you got.
1103
01:00:45,802 --> 01:00:47,099
All right. Let's go.
1104
01:00:58,949 --> 01:00:59,847
This a Searider?
1105
01:01:00,283 --> 01:01:01,580
What, you know boats?
1106
01:01:01,852 --> 01:01:03,410
I worked on a shrimper like this.
1107
01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:05,620
This ain't no Searider.
It's a piece of shit.
1108
01:01:06,022 --> 01:01:07,717
They call it a Surfrider.
1109
01:01:08,024 --> 01:01:10,015
I wanted a Searider,
but my uncle wouldn't pop for it.
1110
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:11,584
Your uncle like boats?
1111
01:01:12,129 --> 01:01:13,027
Who? Paulie?
1112
01:01:13,296 --> 01:01:16,129
Paulie wouldn't know
a cleaver from a fucking cleat.
1113
01:01:17,033 --> 01:01:18,830
It was my dream, you know.
1114
01:01:19,102 --> 01:01:20,330
Free of the goombahs.
1115
01:01:20,604 --> 01:01:21,901
Run a charter in the islands.
1116
01:01:22,339 --> 01:01:23,738
Eddie was going to help me.
1117
01:01:24,007 --> 01:01:26,441
You and Eddie?
That's a strange marriage.
1118
01:01:26,676 --> 01:01:28,473
He was only going to find clients.
1119
01:01:28,745 --> 01:01:29,677
I'll tell you something.
1120
01:01:29,946 --> 01:01:33,040
If I'd met him earlier,
I'd never be in this mess.
1121
01:01:33,416 --> 01:01:35,350
If only Tino hadn't whacked Eddie.
1122
01:01:35,619 --> 01:01:37,211
Know why he was there that morning?
1123
01:01:37,521 --> 01:01:39,614
Santos wasn't there to take Tino down.
1124
01:01:39,923 --> 01:01:42,084
He was there to get information
on the judge.
1125
01:01:42,492 --> 01:01:43,322
How do you know?
1126
01:01:44,294 --> 01:01:45,693
I was there that morning.
1127
01:01:46,229 --> 01:01:48,322
What information on the judge?
1128
01:01:48,598 --> 01:01:50,964
That you get with $ 10,000
and a plane ticket.
1129
01:01:51,234 --> 01:01:52,792
Come up with it by tomorrow.
1130
01:01:53,103 --> 01:01:54,730
This meeting is adjourned.
1131
01:01:56,239 --> 01:01:57,433
Let us bring you in.
1132
01:01:58,108 --> 01:02:00,508
We'll put you in the
Witness Protection Program.
1133
01:02:00,744 --> 01:02:03,645
No, thanks. I got my own
Witness Protection Program.
1134
01:03:02,939 --> 01:03:05,066
Morning.
The sharks are already circling.
1135
01:03:05,609 --> 01:03:07,042
Another Zapatti washed up.
1136
01:03:07,444 --> 01:03:09,844
They fished him out of
the 79th Street Basin.
1137
01:03:10,113 --> 01:03:13,640
Victim's hands were bound in a
3-inch chain, ship's chandlery type.
1138
01:03:13,917 --> 01:03:15,544
Forensics reveal blows...
1139
01:03:15,819 --> 01:03:17,514
...from a blunt instrument.
1140
01:03:24,895 --> 01:03:25,691
Where have you been?
1141
01:03:25,962 --> 01:03:28,089
- Had a busy night.
- I'm sure you did.
1142
01:03:29,699 --> 01:03:31,860
Read this morning's
operations printout?
1143
01:03:32,135 --> 01:03:33,432
What about it?
1144
01:03:37,841 --> 01:03:40,071
I was with Vinnie Zapatti last night.
1145
01:03:42,545 --> 01:03:45,708
He's dead because of Tino Zapatti's
probation report.
1146
01:03:45,982 --> 01:03:47,279
Now there's four deaths.
1147
01:03:47,550 --> 01:03:48,517
They're connected.
1148
01:03:48,785 --> 01:03:51,049
- That's all I know...
- That's all I want to know.
1149
01:03:52,889 --> 01:03:54,254
Just trying to circle the wagons.
1150
01:03:54,524 --> 01:03:55,821
Circle the wagons?
1151
01:03:56,092 --> 01:03:57,992
Who do you think you are?
1152
01:03:58,295 --> 01:04:00,388
Some gumshoe in a dime novel...
1153
01:04:00,664 --> 01:04:02,222
...loose-cannoning around the city?
1154
01:04:02,499 --> 01:04:04,194
Consorting with known mobsters!
1155
01:04:04,467 --> 01:04:05,627
Kevin, for God's sakes!
1156
01:04:05,902 --> 01:04:07,631
You're the mayor's right hand!
1157
01:04:07,904 --> 01:04:10,065
What are you fucking around for?
1158
01:04:18,181 --> 01:04:19,580
You see this desk?
1159
01:04:20,583 --> 01:04:24,041
It belonged to Fiorello LaGuardia,
"the little flower."
1160
01:04:24,354 --> 01:04:25,912
He was about five-foot tall.
1161
01:04:26,222 --> 01:04:29,191
Used to read the funny papers
to children over the radio...
1162
01:04:29,492 --> 01:04:31,756
...and was about
the best mayor the city ever had.
1163
01:04:32,028 --> 01:04:33,290
Know what LaGuardia said?
1164
01:04:34,864 --> 01:04:37,128
"Why is it
every time you can do some good...
1165
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:39,800
...the nice people come in
and mess you up?"
1166
01:04:45,241 --> 01:04:47,436
Be nice. Don't mess me up.
1167
01:05:06,396 --> 01:05:08,159
- Did I wake you up?
- You kidding?
1168
01:05:08,431 --> 01:05:11,093
I've been trying to figure out
how to raise $ 10,000.
1169
01:05:11,368 --> 01:05:13,063
The hook is in, and I'm close.
1170
01:05:13,336 --> 01:05:15,201
Vinnie is Eddie's passport to an
honorable death.
1171
01:05:15,472 --> 01:05:17,201
- All I got to do...
- Vinnie's dead.
1172
01:05:17,674 --> 01:05:18,868
- Murdered.
- What?
1173
01:05:19,109 --> 01:05:20,474
Vinnie Zapatti's dead.
1174
01:05:20,977 --> 01:05:23,309
He washed up
near the 79th Street Basin.
1175
01:05:24,147 --> 01:05:25,910
- Oh, God.
- Heads up.
1176
01:05:26,182 --> 01:05:27,342
Call when you get to your office.
1177
01:05:39,996 --> 01:05:40,894
Taxi!
1178
01:05:44,067 --> 01:05:45,898
Bronx. Take East River Drive.
1179
01:05:51,307 --> 01:05:52,331
Now look.
1180
01:05:53,443 --> 01:05:54,705
I don't have a lot of time.
1181
01:05:55,211 --> 01:05:57,771
I cleared it with the captain.
Take all the time you need.
1182
01:05:58,281 --> 01:05:59,976
You're pulling rank on me?
1183
01:06:04,287 --> 01:06:06,050
Still looking for a new shoe size?
1184
01:06:06,356 --> 01:06:08,483
I know all the jokes. Cement C.
1185
01:06:08,792 --> 01:06:10,783
What I need now are the straight lines.
1186
01:06:17,133 --> 01:06:19,829
The police commissioner
works for the mayor.
1187
01:06:20,103 --> 01:06:22,571
- What is your point?
- Trust me or fuck you.
1188
01:06:23,173 --> 01:06:24,105
Stand up.
1189
01:06:26,209 --> 01:06:27,233
I just need to see...
1190
01:06:27,510 --> 01:06:29,410
...how many people...
1191
01:06:29,679 --> 01:06:31,271
...that I'm talking to.
1192
01:06:32,215 --> 01:06:33,443
It's just me.
1193
01:06:40,623 --> 01:06:41,521
All right.
1194
01:06:44,627 --> 01:06:46,390
Eddie called me from Manhattan South.
1195
01:06:46,830 --> 01:06:47,592
The night before?
1196
01:06:47,997 --> 01:06:50,090
He wanted me to come up there with him.
1197
01:06:51,234 --> 01:06:52,496
You didn't go.
1198
01:06:52,769 --> 01:06:55,329
- You did the right thing.
- No, I didn't.
1199
01:06:55,605 --> 01:06:57,903
He had no business there
without a ghost.
1200
01:06:58,174 --> 01:07:00,438
That should have been me,
plus backups.
1201
01:07:00,677 --> 01:07:03,237
But Eddie was such a hothead...
1202
01:07:07,650 --> 01:07:08,912
I mean...
1203
01:07:09,953 --> 01:07:12,114
...the kind that never cools off.
1204
01:07:13,890 --> 01:07:15,482
What do you want to tell me?
1205
01:07:23,299 --> 01:07:25,790
There was another probation report.
1206
01:07:37,914 --> 01:07:39,108
This one...
1207
01:07:39,682 --> 01:07:42,515
...it set Tino up for the max,
10 to 20.
1208
01:07:43,653 --> 01:07:44,881
What happened to it?
1209
01:07:45,488 --> 01:07:46,216
I don't know.
1210
01:07:46,523 --> 01:07:47,251
Who wrote it?
1211
01:07:47,657 --> 01:07:49,181
That's all I got.
1212
01:08:02,205 --> 01:08:04,765
The probation officer...
1213
01:08:05,141 --> 01:08:05,903
Name?
1214
01:08:06,643 --> 01:08:09,111
James Wakeley.
You won't find him on Leonard Street.
1215
01:08:09,546 --> 01:08:10,308
Where is he?
1216
01:08:10,780 --> 01:08:13,010
Upstate, working parole.
1217
01:08:42,478 --> 01:08:44,605
I told you not to come up here.
1218
01:08:45,048 --> 01:08:46,948
You made a long trip for nothing.
1219
01:08:47,750 --> 01:08:50,719
Do you want to tell me the truth
now or under oath?
1220
01:08:51,287 --> 01:08:53,187
You looking to grow
brass balls, miss?
1221
01:08:53,556 --> 01:08:54,989
I'm doing well without them.
1222
01:08:55,291 --> 01:08:57,691
Do you want a subpoena,
or may we continue?
1223
01:09:09,072 --> 01:09:11,040
What brought you here
from Leonard Street?
1224
01:09:11,541 --> 01:09:14,374
New York State Parole Officer.
Better pay and pension.
1225
01:09:14,644 --> 01:09:16,271
- Nicer surroundings.
- Think so?
1226
01:09:16,546 --> 01:09:20,073
- What happened to Tino Zapatti?
- He's dead, isn't he?
1227
01:09:20,350 --> 01:09:22,284
I'm talking about 2 years ago.
1228
01:09:23,553 --> 01:09:24,747
He got probation.
1229
01:09:25,855 --> 01:09:27,755
What sentence did you recommend?
1230
01:09:31,194 --> 01:09:32,661
Ten to twenty.
1231
01:09:33,196 --> 01:09:34,595
I saw the rap sheet.
1232
01:09:35,932 --> 01:09:38,230
Tino was pushing drugs to kids.
1233
01:09:38,635 --> 01:09:41,900
Not doing it himself,
but having kids deal for him.
1234
01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:45,972
Weapon from a previous homicide?
1235
01:09:46,976 --> 01:09:49,069
Disappeared in the second report.
1236
01:09:49,345 --> 01:09:50,369
Who ordered it?
1237
01:09:50,647 --> 01:09:51,875
That I don't know.
1238
01:09:54,083 --> 01:09:54,947
Why didn't you ask?
1239
01:09:55,285 --> 01:09:58,220
Sudden urge to move to the country.
I forgot about it.
1240
01:09:58,855 --> 01:10:00,322
Now if you'll excuse me...
1241
01:10:00,623 --> 01:10:02,420
...you'd better get out of here.
1242
01:10:02,692 --> 01:10:05,286
My lumbago tells me that
snow is coming.
1243
01:10:06,696 --> 01:10:07,458
You better hurry.
1244
01:10:07,964 --> 01:10:10,330
Buffalo gets socked in pretty fast.
1245
01:10:13,436 --> 01:10:14,767
Thank you for your time.
1246
01:10:38,761 --> 01:10:40,490
Watch your step. It's slippery.
1247
01:10:40,763 --> 01:10:41,661
Thank you.
1248
01:10:43,132 --> 01:10:45,191
- How long?
- About an hour.
1249
01:10:45,768 --> 01:10:47,759
You don't want to suffocate
in a tunnel.
1250
01:10:48,037 --> 01:10:49,971
They got to dig one out ahead.
1251
01:10:50,373 --> 01:10:52,204
Meanwhile, enjoy the snow.
1252
01:10:52,442 --> 01:10:54,137
We can't eat snow.
1253
01:10:54,410 --> 01:10:56,742
- Try that diner over there.
- Any good?
1254
01:10:57,180 --> 01:10:58,442
Lemon pudding's not bad.
1255
01:11:01,084 --> 01:11:02,881
Be back in half an hour.
1256
01:11:24,207 --> 01:11:25,799
Like a sauna in here.
1257
01:11:27,043 --> 01:11:29,511
- My toes are like icicles.
- Warming up?
1258
01:11:30,279 --> 01:11:31,211
Slowly.
1259
01:11:32,348 --> 01:11:33,975
What'll it be?
1260
01:11:34,250 --> 01:11:35,649
A burger, fries and a Coke.
1261
01:11:36,052 --> 01:11:37,781
How is the lemon pudding?
1262
01:11:38,087 --> 01:11:39,987
- Homemade.
- I'll give it a shot.
1263
01:11:40,289 --> 01:11:41,313
- To go.
- You got it.
1264
01:11:41,958 --> 01:11:45,985
Say, why is this called The Floyd Diner
instead of Floyd's Diner?
1265
01:11:46,429 --> 01:11:48,522
Because you're in Floyd, New York.
1266
01:11:51,267 --> 01:11:52,234
Who'd have thunk it?
1267
01:11:52,502 --> 01:11:54,629
Floyd, New York.
Like Clyde, New Jersey.
1268
01:11:54,904 --> 01:11:57,236
Could you imagine spending your life
in a place like this?
1269
01:11:57,573 --> 01:11:58,562
I can.
1270
01:11:59,041 --> 01:12:00,008
I grew up in one.
1271
01:12:00,309 --> 01:12:01,333
Ferriday, Louisiana.
1272
01:12:01,611 --> 01:12:03,670
There's something special
about small-town life.
1273
01:12:03,946 --> 01:12:05,743
So what are you doing in New York?
1274
01:12:08,551 --> 01:12:11,179
Every Louisiana boy
catches politics like a disease.
1275
01:12:11,487 --> 01:12:12,283
I didn't know that.
1276
01:12:12,588 --> 01:12:15,614
That's a fact, and I was no exception.
1277
01:12:15,925 --> 01:12:17,620
After law school I headed where?
1278
01:12:18,661 --> 01:12:19,423
Floyd, New York.
1279
01:12:19,729 --> 01:12:21,128
Washington. Leapfrogged...
1280
01:12:21,397 --> 01:12:23,729
...from staffer
to congressional assistant...
1281
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:27,026
...until the mayor of New York City
came down to testify.
1282
01:12:27,303 --> 01:12:29,203
And he gave a speech that day...
1283
01:12:29,472 --> 01:12:32,134
...that will stay with me
for the rest of my life.
1284
01:12:32,842 --> 01:12:36,369
I went up to him and told him
I admired him and what he stood for...
1285
01:12:36,646 --> 01:12:38,409
...and while I was thanking him...
1286
01:12:38,681 --> 01:12:41,241
...he asked me if I liked stone crabs.
1287
01:12:41,517 --> 01:12:43,178
Halfway through dinner I had a job.
1288
01:12:43,453 --> 01:12:46,047
At the end of dinner,
I felt like I had a new home.
1289
01:12:46,355 --> 01:12:47,754
And here we go.
1290
01:12:48,024 --> 01:12:49,685
I hear the curve in your voice.
1291
01:12:49,992 --> 01:12:51,983
I've been with Pappas for 3 years...
1292
01:12:52,295 --> 01:12:56,755
...and I finally found a place where
you can make a difference.
1293
01:12:57,400 --> 01:12:58,162
Well, you did.
1294
01:12:58,434 --> 01:13:00,425
You made a difference
to Elaine Santos.
1295
01:13:00,703 --> 01:13:02,728
You cleared Eddie's name,
got their pension.
1296
01:13:03,005 --> 01:13:05,098
Yeah, but not so fast.
1297
01:13:05,675 --> 01:13:08,405
We got to keep Wakeley on ice
till I find that report.
1298
01:13:09,278 --> 01:13:12,076
We don't need the report.
We just take Wakeley's deposition.
1299
01:13:12,348 --> 01:13:13,372
No, that's all you need.
1300
01:13:13,649 --> 01:13:14,946
I got to get that report...
1301
01:13:15,218 --> 01:13:16,014
...see where it leads.
1302
01:13:16,285 --> 01:13:18,014
What if,
while you're playing detective...
1303
01:13:18,321 --> 01:13:20,949
...Wakeley decides
it'd be healthier to disappear?
1304
01:13:21,557 --> 01:13:23,149
Then we're left with nothing.
1305
01:13:23,459 --> 01:13:25,620
How's Elaine
supposed to feed her kids?
1306
01:13:25,928 --> 01:13:27,327
That's a risk we must take.
1307
01:13:27,763 --> 01:13:30,960
I don't need you
to get Wakeley's deposition.
1308
01:13:31,234 --> 01:13:33,202
If you talk to him on your own...
1309
01:13:33,469 --> 01:13:36,529
...you'll feel the full weight
of the mayor's office upon you.
1310
01:13:37,006 --> 01:13:38,803
It's not a pleasant feeling.
1311
01:13:41,410 --> 01:13:43,503
You're a mean prick, you know that?
1312
01:13:44,413 --> 01:13:46,438
Where I come from,
that's a compliment.
1313
01:13:50,419 --> 01:13:51,351
Hold on a minute.
1314
01:13:51,721 --> 01:13:52,779
To what?
1315
01:13:53,422 --> 01:13:55,515
Your ambition?
John Pappas' coattails?
1316
01:13:56,025 --> 01:13:58,357
Burger, fries, Coke
and a lemon pudding.
1317
01:13:59,395 --> 01:14:00,453
I'll take these.
1318
01:14:00,863 --> 01:14:02,922
The mayor's boy gets the lemon pudding.
1319
01:14:44,674 --> 01:14:45,936
Mr. Schwartz?
1320
01:14:46,809 --> 01:14:48,071
Kevin Calhoun.
1321
01:14:48,811 --> 01:14:50,904
I've just been talking
to a friend of yours.
1322
01:15:24,647 --> 01:15:27,548
- I've got the probation report.
- Where are you?
1323
01:15:27,817 --> 01:15:30,513
Right around the corner.
Meet me at Franklin and Hudson.
1324
01:15:36,158 --> 01:15:37,056
Schwartz?
1325
01:16:36,619 --> 01:16:38,018
- George.
- Abe called me.
1326
01:16:38,320 --> 01:16:39,287
He's in the back.
1327
01:16:39,588 --> 01:16:41,920
That's the only way in.
The back door's gated.
1328
01:16:42,692 --> 01:16:43,454
All right.
1329
01:16:44,794 --> 01:16:46,284
I got a couple marriages.
1330
01:16:50,132 --> 01:16:50,894
Abe.
1331
01:16:54,203 --> 01:16:55,192
It's your play!
1332
01:16:55,471 --> 01:16:58,770
Throw the card for me.
You've been practicing all your life.
1333
01:17:03,045 --> 01:17:04,478
Freddie, give us a minute.
1334
01:17:09,819 --> 01:17:11,116
He's dead!
1335
01:17:11,420 --> 01:17:14,617
Schwartz is dead.
I heard it on the phone. I was...
1336
01:17:14,924 --> 01:17:16,687
Get ahold of yourself. It's okay.
1337
01:17:17,860 --> 01:17:19,020
You were right.
1338
01:17:19,295 --> 01:17:21,786
You knew it from the minute
we saw him that day.
1339
01:17:22,064 --> 01:17:24,430
It wasn't kosher.
There was a second report.
1340
01:17:24,700 --> 01:17:26,361
That was only a feeling.
1341
01:17:26,635 --> 01:17:28,569
Now it's a fact.
5 people are dead.
1342
01:17:28,838 --> 01:17:31,329
Stern looks so judicial.
How could he be so corrupt?
1343
01:17:32,007 --> 01:17:33,167
The sweater unravels.
1344
01:17:34,243 --> 01:17:36,177
I'll give you one this time.
1345
01:17:36,779 --> 01:17:40,340
"The only thing new in this world is
the history you don't know."
1346
01:17:41,050 --> 01:17:41,846
New Testament?
1347
01:17:42,118 --> 01:17:43,312
Harry Truman.
1348
01:17:54,463 --> 01:17:56,021
Judge Stern's a good man.
1349
01:17:56,298 --> 01:17:58,061
He's good? 5 people are dead!
1350
01:17:58,501 --> 01:18:02,130
- What's your point?
- You throw the book at the guy.
1351
01:18:02,505 --> 01:18:03,904
Embrace Detective Santos.
1352
01:18:04,173 --> 01:18:06,733
Max death settlement for her.
Medal of Honor for the deceased.
1353
01:18:07,176 --> 01:18:10,509
I'll make sure Leslie
makes the morning editions with it.
1354
01:18:10,780 --> 01:18:12,645
So you got this all figured out?
1355
01:18:13,415 --> 01:18:15,747
- That's my job, isn't it?
- That's cold.
1356
01:18:16,018 --> 01:18:17,212
That's cold.
1357
01:18:17,486 --> 01:18:18,976
I mean you don't just...
1358
01:18:20,055 --> 01:18:21,784
It's more complicated than that.
1359
01:18:27,797 --> 01:18:30,288
Forgive me.
I know the two of you are old friends.
1360
01:18:30,866 --> 01:18:32,697
Be careful how you judge people.
1361
01:18:33,602 --> 01:18:35,194
Most of all friends.
1362
01:18:36,438 --> 01:18:39,305
You don't sum up
a man's life in one moment.
1363
01:18:40,442 --> 01:18:43,377
There are no cold answers, are there?
1364
01:18:43,779 --> 01:18:45,269
There's no simple yes or no.
1365
01:18:45,614 --> 01:18:48,310
A man's life is not the bricks,
it's the mortar.
1366
01:18:48,584 --> 01:18:51,644
It's the stuff that lays between.
The stuff...
1367
01:18:54,323 --> 01:18:55,756
The stuff you can't see.
1368
01:18:56,058 --> 01:19:00,757
I've known Walter my whole life.
God! He's a decent man.
1369
01:19:01,030 --> 01:19:03,498
- He's a good man.
- But this is tough stuff.
1370
01:19:03,766 --> 01:19:06,860
This is body bag stuff.
Tell me if there's some other way.
1371
01:19:09,305 --> 01:19:10,567
There's isn't.
1372
01:19:10,906 --> 01:19:12,066
Die's been cast.
1373
01:19:12,308 --> 01:19:14,105
It was cast a long time ago.
1374
01:19:16,345 --> 01:19:17,437
Go easy.
1375
01:19:18,180 --> 01:19:20,512
Give him a blindfold and have mercy.
1376
01:19:21,183 --> 01:19:24,175
Walter Stern was a tough man,
but he was fair.
1377
01:19:25,054 --> 01:19:26,954
We give back the same. No?
1378
01:19:29,124 --> 01:19:30,182
And you be careful.
1379
01:19:30,659 --> 01:19:32,559
Keep George with you. Let him drive.
1380
01:19:32,862 --> 01:19:34,159
I got to go in here.
1381
01:19:47,576 --> 01:19:50,170
I knew James Wakeley would surface...
1382
01:19:50,713 --> 01:19:53,841
...just as I knew
when that bullet hit that boy...
1383
01:19:54,550 --> 01:19:56,279
...it would keep traveling.
1384
01:19:57,720 --> 01:19:59,415
And find its way...
1385
01:20:00,122 --> 01:20:01,020
To me.
1386
01:20:05,261 --> 01:20:07,092
If only it had found me first.
1387
01:20:07,863 --> 01:20:10,331
If only I could have stepped
in front of him.
1388
01:20:13,335 --> 01:20:15,929
Regrets are pathetic, aren't they?
1389
01:20:17,006 --> 01:20:19,804
I was tired of being
the white-shoe litigator.
1390
01:20:20,476 --> 01:20:22,842
Defending the arbitrageurs...
1391
01:20:23,112 --> 01:20:25,103
...of the eighties go-go boys.
1392
01:20:26,448 --> 01:20:30,578
All it took was $50,000
to change my life.
1393
01:20:32,121 --> 01:20:34,919
Fifty thousand,
and the judgeship was mine.
1394
01:20:36,825 --> 01:20:38,656
Absurd, isn't it?
1395
01:20:40,195 --> 01:20:42,959
The mayor has the highest
regard for you, Judge.
1396
01:20:47,036 --> 01:20:48,435
And I for him.
1397
01:20:55,778 --> 01:20:59,179
Your resignation in about 6 months
would be appropriate.
1398
01:21:04,086 --> 01:21:06,077
Six months, did you say?
1399
01:21:09,258 --> 01:21:11,226
How about six hours?
1400
01:21:11,527 --> 01:21:13,620
This is the scene at
the district attorney's office...
1401
01:21:13,896 --> 01:21:16,160
... where city officials have been
brought in for questioning...
1402
01:21:16,432 --> 01:21:20,163
... in the story surrounding
the resignation of Judge Walter Stern.
1403
01:21:20,436 --> 01:21:23,200
After the checks
and balances rap, we'll go into...
1404
01:21:23,472 --> 01:21:25,269
..."Revelations are not
unprecedented."
1405
01:21:25,507 --> 01:21:29,102
"Consider Judge Wachtler,
a man of impeccable credentials...
1406
01:21:29,378 --> 01:21:31,573
...who fell subject to..."
- Take it out.
1407
01:21:31,847 --> 01:21:34,907
- The whole thing?
- Leave the Wachtler stuff in there.
1408
01:21:35,184 --> 01:21:37,277
- Just say it plain.
- You know the rest.
1409
01:21:38,687 --> 01:21:39,745
Sharks are getting hungry.
1410
01:21:40,155 --> 01:21:41,884
Give them a one-minute sign.
1411
01:21:42,191 --> 01:21:43,453
Look.
1412
01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:46,590
Lean and hungry, even the fat ones.
1413
01:21:51,233 --> 01:21:51,995
Any news?
1414
01:21:52,267 --> 01:21:53,256
Got anything?
1415
01:21:56,338 --> 01:21:59,000
Thirty seconds,
ladies and gentlemen. Thirty.
1416
01:21:59,808 --> 01:22:01,366
Convention's coming to town.
1417
01:22:01,643 --> 01:22:02,940
You going to be all right?
1418
01:22:03,712 --> 01:22:05,612
Thanks for asking. I'll be fine.
1419
01:22:05,881 --> 01:22:07,849
Damage control, remember.
Damage control.
1420
01:22:08,117 --> 01:22:10,585
- You look good.
- Of course. I'm the mayor.
1421
01:22:21,263 --> 01:22:23,424
Lyndon Johnson said:
1422
01:22:23,699 --> 01:22:27,066
"Everybody will give you ideas
on how to get out of trouble...
1423
01:22:27,336 --> 01:22:28,598
...cheaply and fast.
1424
01:22:28,871 --> 01:22:30,168
And they all come down to this:
1425
01:22:30,606 --> 01:22:32,597
Deny your responsibility."
1426
01:22:32,841 --> 01:22:34,103
John F. Kennedy said:
1427
01:22:34,476 --> 01:22:36,376
"An error doesn't have to become
a mistake...
1428
01:22:36,645 --> 01:22:38,306
...until you refuse to correct it."
1429
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:54,520
There were explosive developments...
1430
01:22:54,797 --> 01:22:57,391
... with the incident at
Broadway and Marcy this morning.
1431
01:22:57,666 --> 01:22:59,691
The revelation of a missing
probation report...
1432
01:22:59,968 --> 01:23:02,402
... may result in the
handing up of indictments...
1433
01:23:02,671 --> 01:23:05,731
... by the grand jury, of Supreme Court
Judge Stern...
1434
01:23:06,008 --> 01:23:08,340
... and Brooklyn Democratic leader
Frank Anselmo.
1435
01:23:08,610 --> 01:23:09,577
His connections...
1436
01:23:09,845 --> 01:23:13,645
... to Mafia chieftain Paul Zapatti
are certain to be examined.
1437
01:23:13,916 --> 01:23:17,716
Sources say the career of the
political boss is over...
1438
01:23:17,986 --> 01:23:20,318
... and a long prison term
is in the offing.
1439
01:23:33,135 --> 01:23:34,067
Chester?
1440
01:23:34,903 --> 01:23:37,963
Chester, what are you doing?
1441
01:23:38,974 --> 01:23:41,238
Did Mommy let you out? Did she?
1442
01:23:41,510 --> 01:23:43,569
And how was your day today?
1443
01:23:43,846 --> 01:23:45,040
Give me a kiss.
1444
01:23:48,050 --> 01:23:49,278
You okay, Frank?
1445
01:23:50,586 --> 01:23:52,486
Fine, sweetheart. I'm fine.
1446
01:23:52,788 --> 01:23:54,847
It's been on the TV all morning.
1447
01:23:55,557 --> 01:23:57,718
Yeah, I know. I heard.
1448
01:24:00,229 --> 01:24:01,696
I fixed you some osso buco.
1449
01:24:07,503 --> 01:24:10,063
I had a feeling you might
come home for lunch today.
1450
01:24:13,108 --> 01:24:13,938
It smells good.
1451
01:24:14,910 --> 01:24:17,071
I'll just go get the clothes.
1452
01:24:17,346 --> 01:24:19,314
That machine's thunking again.
1453
01:24:55,217 --> 01:24:56,149
Paulie!
1454
01:25:02,991 --> 01:25:03,821
How are you, Frank?
1455
01:25:04,560 --> 01:25:07,154
- I'm good, considering...
- Yeah, of course.
1456
01:25:07,930 --> 01:25:08,828
Of course.
1457
01:25:12,568 --> 01:25:13,500
Coffee?
1458
01:25:14,870 --> 01:25:17,703
Nettie's down with the laundry.
1459
01:25:17,973 --> 01:25:19,702
Stay for lunch? Osso buco.
1460
01:25:20,075 --> 01:25:21,508
Osso buco.
1461
01:25:22,110 --> 01:25:23,668
Nettie fixes it piemontese.
1462
01:25:23,946 --> 01:25:25,504
Peppers and everything.
1463
01:25:25,781 --> 01:25:27,681
No, that's all right. I had my lunch.
1464
01:25:28,116 --> 01:25:30,107
- Can I get coffee?
- No, thanks.
1465
01:25:33,822 --> 01:25:34,550
So.
1466
01:25:37,025 --> 01:25:37,889
What do you think?
1467
01:25:39,494 --> 01:25:41,291
Well, same old thing.
1468
01:25:43,832 --> 01:25:46,357
This time it's this Calhoun guy.
1469
01:25:46,635 --> 01:25:48,034
I never liked him.
1470
01:25:48,303 --> 01:25:50,863
- He's a cracker.
- Of the worst kind.
1471
01:25:51,139 --> 01:25:52,231
He's out of here tomorrow.
1472
01:25:52,541 --> 01:25:54,372
No. I don't think so.
1473
01:25:54,910 --> 01:25:56,309
What are you talking about?
1474
01:25:57,079 --> 01:25:58,478
He's a reed.
1475
01:25:58,914 --> 01:26:01,178
You push him and he bends.
1476
01:26:01,483 --> 01:26:02,609
Not this one.
1477
01:26:02,884 --> 01:26:04,511
This one's a terrier.
1478
01:26:06,088 --> 01:26:07,919
I had a dog like him once.
1479
01:26:08,190 --> 01:26:09,953
I went to have him put down.
1480
01:26:10,225 --> 01:26:13,956
He jumped out of my arms at the vet's
and took off for the park.
1481
01:26:14,596 --> 01:26:17,793
Sometimes I still think
I see him out there...
1482
01:26:18,100 --> 01:26:19,692
...watching me...
1483
01:26:21,036 --> 01:26:23,027
...gnawing on an old bone.
1484
01:26:24,973 --> 01:26:25,735
Excuse me.
1485
01:26:26,541 --> 01:26:29,999
Hello, Nettie.
Can I help you with the basket?
1486
01:26:30,512 --> 01:26:33,572
No, no. I didn't know
Frank was expecting you.
1487
01:26:34,750 --> 01:26:36,240
Due espressi?
1488
01:26:36,818 --> 01:26:38,183
Maybe later.
1489
01:26:46,194 --> 01:26:49,686
99 out of 100 times
we can beat something like this.
1490
01:26:49,965 --> 01:26:51,694
I don't like the odds.
1491
01:26:54,303 --> 01:26:55,235
We go back a long way.
1492
01:26:55,504 --> 01:26:57,062
I know, I know.
1493
01:27:00,008 --> 01:27:02,875
I tried to close the door, Frank.
1494
01:27:04,613 --> 01:27:06,046
Couldn't get it shut.
1495
01:27:07,949 --> 01:27:11,476
- What do you want me to do?
- Take the pressure off yourself.
1496
01:27:13,789 --> 01:27:15,814
Here's the thing. They'll tell you:
1497
01:27:16,725 --> 01:27:18,522
"Yeah, yeah, sure.
1498
01:27:18,794 --> 01:27:20,728
You have the key to the cell.
Go ahead."
1499
01:27:22,764 --> 01:27:25,358
But you won't be able
to open it without singing.
1500
01:27:26,501 --> 01:27:27,593
You're a singer.
1501
01:27:40,182 --> 01:27:43,083
Give me a chance, and I'll show you
how quiet I can be.
1502
01:27:43,418 --> 01:27:45,886
It's out of my hands, Frank.
1503
01:27:46,455 --> 01:27:48,082
Do the right thing, will you?
1504
01:27:49,458 --> 01:27:52,552
- Make it easy for yourself.
- Frank, honey. Lunch!
1505
01:27:54,229 --> 01:27:55,355
And your family.
1506
01:28:29,898 --> 01:28:34,096
Senator, I guarantee this is nothing but
a blemish on a great metropolis.
1507
01:28:34,603 --> 01:28:36,264
The party will never see that blemish
in June.
1508
01:28:36,538 --> 01:28:39,371
All it'll see is the Garden,
the Plaza, the Waldorf...
1509
01:28:39,608 --> 01:28:41,667
...electricity, excitement, fun.
1510
01:28:43,578 --> 01:28:47,036
Catch the noon news in D.C.
He's only magnificent.
1511
01:28:51,153 --> 01:28:53,951
Four extra classes
graduate the academy this year.
1512
01:28:54,256 --> 01:28:56,486
Unions? Did I hear you say unions?
1513
01:28:56,758 --> 01:28:57,884
Every municipal contract...
1514
01:28:58,193 --> 01:28:59,626
Harriet. You watching this?
1515
01:29:02,531 --> 01:29:04,260
World Bank interest you more?
1516
01:29:05,767 --> 01:29:09,134
Want to read about the
convention in the Chicago Tribune?
1517
01:29:09,404 --> 01:29:10,962
Well, okay. Okay, then.
1518
01:29:11,239 --> 01:29:14,333
Wait till you see his performance
on the 6:00 news.
1519
01:29:14,976 --> 01:29:16,375
When the train leaves the station...
1520
01:29:16,645 --> 01:29:20,843
... New York Times, good and gray lady
that she is, will want to be on board.
1521
01:29:33,361 --> 01:29:34,885
What happened to you?
1522
01:29:35,664 --> 01:29:38,224
I called you.
You were down in the basement.
1523
01:29:39,367 --> 01:29:42,029
I'm going to get a washer
at Orchard Supply...
1524
01:29:42,304 --> 01:29:43,896
...stop the machine from thunking.
1525
01:29:44,172 --> 01:29:45,605
I'll eat when I get home.
1526
01:29:47,409 --> 01:29:48,341
Okay.
1527
01:29:49,044 --> 01:29:50,136
Be careful.
1528
01:29:51,012 --> 01:29:51,944
Of course.
1529
01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:15,265
Walk on through the wind
1530
01:30:16,805 --> 01:30:19,501
Walk on through the rain
1531
01:30:20,775 --> 01:30:24,233
Though your dreams be tossed
1532
01:30:25,413 --> 01:30:27,404
And blown
1533
01:30:29,784 --> 01:30:33,276
Walk on, walk on
1534
01:30:34,422 --> 01:30:37,448
With hope in your heart
1535
01:30:38,994 --> 01:30:43,556
And you'll never walk alone
1536
01:31:00,382 --> 01:31:02,009
I know the water is rising, Mr. Sadler.
1537
01:31:02,284 --> 01:31:05,185
It's up to the floorboards.
But I guarantee you...
1538
01:31:05,453 --> 01:31:08,149
...we're bailing it out faster than
we're taking it in.
1539
01:31:11,826 --> 01:31:13,123
Let me call you back.
1540
01:31:13,395 --> 01:31:16,023
I'll call you
when we can talk at length.
1541
01:31:16,298 --> 01:31:18,027
Anselmo just killed himself.
1542
01:31:22,137 --> 01:31:24,503
And this is the original
probation report.
1543
01:31:24,739 --> 01:31:26,434
The one we were looking for.
1544
01:31:28,476 --> 01:31:30,239
They found it in Anselmo's car.
1545
01:31:30,512 --> 01:31:32,173
The police commissioner gave it to me.
1546
01:31:34,249 --> 01:31:37,343
He didn't want it ending up
as tomorrow's headline.
1547
01:31:48,463 --> 01:31:49,987
"Tino Zapatti.
1548
01:31:51,132 --> 01:31:53,362
Recommended prison sentence
10 to 20 years."
1549
01:31:54,436 --> 01:31:56,802
- Check this one out?
- This one's kosher.
1550
01:31:58,006 --> 01:31:59,701
The story ends where it began.
1551
01:31:59,941 --> 01:32:02,739
Wax your lawyer.
Brooklyn clubhouse boss.
1552
01:32:04,879 --> 01:32:06,540
Walter Stern and Frank Anselmo.
1553
01:32:07,015 --> 01:32:08,778
Don't see them in the same room.
1554
01:32:12,988 --> 01:32:14,421
Something's still wrong, you know?
1555
01:32:15,190 --> 01:32:16,122
I know.
1556
01:32:19,661 --> 01:32:21,822
Before we nail up the house
for the season...
1557
01:32:22,464 --> 01:32:24,159
...one more door to close.
1558
01:32:31,740 --> 01:32:32,764
Afternoon, Mr. Calhoun.
1559
01:32:33,708 --> 01:32:36,905
- Sorry, the judge left for the day.
- Of course you're sorry.
1560
01:32:38,046 --> 01:32:39,411
Is that your signature?
1561
01:32:40,148 --> 01:32:42,548
We record
the receipt of all documents.
1562
01:32:42,817 --> 01:32:45,513
What about phone calls?
You keep a log of them?
1563
01:32:47,922 --> 01:32:49,890
Take a minute for me, please.
1564
01:32:50,725 --> 01:32:54,320
Look up the dates of Frank Anselmo's
calls to this office.
1565
01:32:54,596 --> 01:32:56,757
You're in the wrong pew, Mr. Calhoun.
1566
01:32:57,032 --> 01:32:59,500
Frank Anselmo never called this office.
1567
01:33:10,912 --> 01:33:12,436
What about the mayor?
1568
01:33:23,892 --> 01:33:26,156
He's in his dressing room,
Mr. Calhoun.
1569
01:33:53,988 --> 01:33:56,388
Where you been? I was looking for you.
1570
01:33:57,358 --> 01:33:58,985
Trying to get
to Senator Marquand.
1571
01:33:59,360 --> 01:34:00,725
Well, he got through to me.
1572
01:34:02,564 --> 01:34:04,191
They're moving the convention to Miami.
1573
01:34:05,133 --> 01:34:05,997
Miami? Why?
1574
01:34:06,534 --> 01:34:07,728
They like Miami.
1575
01:34:08,002 --> 01:34:12,063
Glamour. Whoopi Goldberg, Madonna
just bought houses in South Beach.
1576
01:34:12,307 --> 01:34:14,400
Maybe we can nominate them.
1577
01:34:14,776 --> 01:34:16,175
I thought it was all cut.
1578
01:34:16,444 --> 01:34:19,072
Cut, not cut.
Politics. Nothing's cut.
1579
01:34:19,981 --> 01:34:20,811
Where you going?
1580
01:34:21,082 --> 01:34:23,812
I'm going to pay my respects
to Nettie Anselmo.
1581
01:34:24,419 --> 01:34:25,909
Do you think that's wise?
1582
01:34:26,221 --> 01:34:28,314
- What's wise got to do with it?
- The perception...
1583
01:34:28,623 --> 01:34:30,215
Fuck perception!
1584
01:34:32,627 --> 01:34:33,958
Talking, menschkeit.
1585
01:34:36,965 --> 01:34:38,796
Stuff between men.
1586
01:34:39,701 --> 01:34:41,692
The "there" that's there.
1587
01:34:41,970 --> 01:34:46,498
The thousand telephone calls.
The bouquets and the brickbats.
1588
01:34:47,776 --> 01:34:50,176
The space between a handshake.
1589
01:34:51,513 --> 01:34:52,571
You know.
1590
01:34:53,581 --> 01:34:56,175
Stuff that goes with you
to your grave.
1591
01:34:57,118 --> 01:34:59,985
There's space between a handshake
for right and wrong?
1592
01:35:02,624 --> 01:35:03,989
Why are you pressing me?
1593
01:35:04,392 --> 01:35:06,292
I'm looking for an answer.
1594
01:35:07,929 --> 01:35:09,362
You want an answer?
1595
01:35:10,098 --> 01:35:11,531
Okay, Pappy.
1596
01:35:11,966 --> 01:35:13,593
Think of it as colors.
1597
01:35:13,868 --> 01:35:15,631
There's black and there's white.
1598
01:35:15,904 --> 01:35:18,134
And in between is mostly gray.
That's us.
1599
01:35:18,740 --> 01:35:22,039
Gray's tough because it's not
as simple as black and white.
1600
01:35:22,544 --> 01:35:23,772
And for the media...
1601
01:35:24,045 --> 01:35:25,842
...certainly not as interesting.
1602
01:35:26,114 --> 01:35:27,809
But it's who we are.
1603
01:35:36,858 --> 01:35:38,621
What are you going to do now?
1604
01:35:43,164 --> 01:35:44,426
You mean, "we."
1605
01:35:45,233 --> 01:35:47,258
We'll fight the sons of bitches.
1606
01:35:47,602 --> 01:35:49,763
We're going to come out swinging.
1607
01:35:51,406 --> 01:35:53,374
We're going to tell them, "Hey!
1608
01:35:53,641 --> 01:35:56,371
We're only human.
Everybody makes mistakes.
1609
01:35:56,644 --> 01:35:58,544
Frank Anselmo is dead.
1610
01:35:58,813 --> 01:35:59,905
He was a friend...
1611
01:36:00,181 --> 01:36:02,445
...but the last
of the clubhouse bosses is gone."
1612
01:36:03,484 --> 01:36:05,509
We're going to clean up
the Augean stables.
1613
01:36:05,820 --> 01:36:06,946
We'll show up in Miami...
1614
01:36:07,255 --> 01:36:10,622
...have them on their knees, begging me
to make the keynote speech.
1615
01:36:11,659 --> 01:36:12,489
And then?
1616
01:36:14,696 --> 01:36:16,960
A short sojourn to Albany...
1617
01:36:17,298 --> 01:36:20,199
...followed by a long one
at the White House.
1618
01:36:23,137 --> 01:36:27,073
If I didn't know better,
I'd be bursting with admiration.
1619
01:36:28,142 --> 01:36:30,269
I thought I'd come in and
find you on your knees.
1620
01:36:30,912 --> 01:36:33,472
Instead, you're turning
adversity into triumph.
1621
01:36:33,848 --> 01:36:36,681
That's just a reflex.
An old habit of mine.
1622
01:36:36,951 --> 01:36:39,283
But it's still good to hear you say it.
1623
01:36:39,587 --> 01:36:41,020
The way you say it too.
1624
01:36:41,322 --> 01:36:42,949
"Adversity into triumph."
1625
01:36:43,258 --> 01:36:44,850
It's good to know
you still believe in me.
1626
01:36:45,760 --> 01:36:46,658
Did I say that?
1627
01:36:47,962 --> 01:36:50,726
I don't know.
I thought you did.
1628
01:36:51,232 --> 01:36:53,325
Don't fathers listen to their sons?
1629
01:37:02,944 --> 01:37:04,411
How is your father these days?
1630
01:37:05,313 --> 01:37:08,874
I haven't heard you mention him
for a while. Where is he?
1631
01:37:09,517 --> 01:37:11,485
In a nursing home in
Crowley, Louisiana.
1632
01:37:12,387 --> 01:37:14,287
Plays dominoes with orderlies.
1633
01:37:14,555 --> 01:37:16,546
Fulminates over his Cream of Wheat.
1634
01:37:17,792 --> 01:37:19,316
Don't be too hard on him.
1635
01:37:20,395 --> 01:37:22,022
We can't dictate our finishes.
1636
01:37:22,597 --> 01:37:23,996
I don't like the sound of that.
1637
01:37:24,399 --> 01:37:25,661
Of course you don't.
1638
01:37:26,401 --> 01:37:29,495
Because underneath
all that need to believe...
1639
01:37:31,105 --> 01:37:34,268
...under all the concrete
you poured into my pedestal...
1640
01:37:34,509 --> 01:37:37,137
...something is crying to get out.
1641
01:37:40,348 --> 01:37:41,110
What?
1642
01:37:46,154 --> 01:37:48,588
You know I called Judge Walter Stern.
1643
01:37:56,030 --> 01:37:58,396
Anselmo called me.
1644
01:38:02,503 --> 01:38:06,872
I knew the Mafioso had called him, but
in this business you don't trade names.
1645
01:38:07,742 --> 01:38:09,039
And I called Walter.
1646
01:38:10,712 --> 01:38:12,304
That's all there was to it.
1647
01:38:14,215 --> 01:38:16,206
I was doing Anselmo a favor.
1648
01:38:20,888 --> 01:38:22,879
Run caution lights all my life.
1649
01:38:23,191 --> 01:38:27,252
This time you ran a red, and
someone cut across the intersection.
1650
01:38:27,829 --> 01:38:29,353
A cop and a 6-year-old child.
1651
01:38:30,798 --> 01:38:32,197
That's with me forever.
1652
01:38:32,467 --> 01:38:33,365
That's not good enough.
1653
01:38:34,168 --> 01:38:35,601
Not good enough?
1654
01:38:37,638 --> 01:38:38,832
You think I don't know that?
1655
01:38:39,407 --> 01:38:40,339
I hope so, John.
1656
01:38:40,608 --> 01:38:42,337
Scares me when you call me John.
1657
01:38:42,810 --> 01:38:43,799
Why's that?
1658
01:38:45,613 --> 01:38:46,875
Because, I...
1659
01:38:49,183 --> 01:38:53,210
...I thought a minute ago
we were off to the White House.
1660
01:38:55,323 --> 01:38:57,621
I thought I could feel you come aboard.
1661
01:38:58,126 --> 01:38:59,150
The old menschkeit.
1662
01:39:02,997 --> 01:39:04,259
Horseshit.
1663
01:39:05,433 --> 01:39:06,627
Menschkeit is horseshit.
1664
01:39:07,735 --> 01:39:10,533
It's 120 years of graft
and sweetheart contracts...
1665
01:39:10,805 --> 01:39:12,705
...featherbeds and
inside information...
1666
01:39:12,940 --> 01:39:16,376
...and everywhere people in power
gather to carve up the turf.
1667
01:39:17,078 --> 01:39:18,670
That's your menschkeit.
1668
01:39:19,247 --> 01:39:21,977
It's horseshit.
You know where you can put it.
1669
01:39:22,583 --> 01:39:24,107
Maybe spread it over the fields.
1670
01:39:24,385 --> 01:39:26,785
If we cross our fingers,
maybe a flower will grow.
1671
01:39:27,221 --> 01:39:28,620
It has.
1672
01:39:30,191 --> 01:39:32,056
Out of all this crap...
1673
01:39:34,729 --> 01:39:35,457
...you emerged.
1674
01:39:35,863 --> 01:39:38,696
- You're the only voter I care...
- I'm getting that "con" feeling.
1675
01:39:39,267 --> 01:39:42,600
- Like you're copping a plea.
- No, come on. No plea.
1676
01:39:42,870 --> 01:39:47,068
I'm just a pol who kept rolling along
until he ran into a stone wall.
1677
01:39:47,842 --> 01:39:49,173
You were that wall.
1678
01:39:49,444 --> 01:39:50,308
And I realized...
1679
01:39:50,912 --> 01:39:53,244
...just like me when I was a kid.
1680
01:39:53,514 --> 01:39:56,915
Young, ambitious, go-getter, but fair.
1681
01:39:57,985 --> 01:40:02,422
Trading up, but always for
the right causes. You're doing good.
1682
01:40:02,723 --> 01:40:06,090
Not putting money in your pocket.
Just trying to maintain your position.
1683
01:40:06,394 --> 01:40:07,418
Your power.
1684
01:40:07,728 --> 01:40:09,958
What good are you
to the people without it?
1685
01:40:10,865 --> 01:40:12,355
But down deep...
1686
01:40:14,001 --> 01:40:16,765
...you know there's a line you
can't cross.
1687
01:40:19,807 --> 01:40:22,435
And after a thousand trades...
1688
01:40:22,710 --> 01:40:24,268
...one deal too many...
1689
01:40:26,013 --> 01:40:27,947
...the line gets rubbed out.
1690
01:40:33,788 --> 01:40:36,814
I had the fire in the belly
just like you, Kevin.
1691
01:40:37,992 --> 01:40:40,859
And the odd thing is,
I still have it.
1692
01:40:41,129 --> 01:40:42,391
Never left me.
1693
01:40:45,900 --> 01:40:47,595
I had the dream...
1694
01:40:50,605 --> 01:40:52,163
...and I had the weight.
1695
01:40:56,310 --> 01:40:58,437
Like one of those guys before me said:
1696
01:41:01,215 --> 01:41:05,879
"If a sparrow dies in Central Park,
I feel responsible."
1697
01:41:07,221 --> 01:41:08,916
Well said. I feel that way.
1698
01:41:09,357 --> 01:41:11,723
I was going to take
that feeling with me...
1699
01:41:13,561 --> 01:41:15,028
...all the way to Washington.
1700
01:41:24,872 --> 01:41:26,499
The things you could have done.
1701
01:41:27,441 --> 01:41:29,170
Fucking things I could've done.
1702
01:41:43,724 --> 01:41:45,589
You're going to take yourself out.
1703
01:41:50,898 --> 01:41:52,627
You're going to take yourself out.
1704
01:42:12,553 --> 01:42:14,544
Take a long vacation in Greece.
1705
01:42:17,024 --> 01:42:18,514
Pick up the law again.
1706
01:42:20,394 --> 01:42:21,861
Go the way of William O'Dwyer.
1707
01:42:22,196 --> 01:42:24,596
He fucked up
and played ambassador to Mexico.
1708
01:42:25,166 --> 01:42:27,031
I'm not that ambitious.
1709
01:42:28,102 --> 01:42:30,093
Then suck it up
and find some other way.
1710
01:42:31,772 --> 01:42:33,103
Listen to you.
1711
01:42:33,374 --> 01:42:35,467
I thought I'd see a boy's tears.
1712
01:42:37,511 --> 01:42:38,876
The tears are there.
1713
01:42:40,514 --> 01:42:42,311
Just can't see them right now.
1714
01:42:58,032 --> 01:42:59,693
You got the stuff, Pappy.
1715
01:43:02,069 --> 01:43:03,969
I love to see it in a guy.
1716
01:43:13,714 --> 01:43:16,911
Kevin Calhoun for City Council.
1717
01:43:17,251 --> 01:43:19,151
Voters of the 6th district...
1718
01:43:19,453 --> 01:43:22,320
... come meet your next
city councilman, Kevin Calhoun.
1719
01:43:22,590 --> 01:43:24,182
Kevin Calhoun. How are you?
1720
01:43:24,492 --> 01:43:25,754
Kevin Calhoun.
1721
01:43:26,627 --> 01:43:28,356
How about some literature?
1722
01:43:29,530 --> 01:43:31,327
Kevin Calhoun. How are you, sir?
1723
01:43:32,300 --> 01:43:33,426
Good afternoon,
1724
01:43:33,701 --> 01:43:36,693
I'm running for 6th district.
We got some important issues.
1725
01:43:36,971 --> 01:43:39,565
We need to clean this place up.
I'd love your vote.
1726
01:43:39,940 --> 01:43:41,805
I'm running for City Council.
1727
01:43:42,310 --> 01:43:43,572
Hello. Kevin Calhoun.
1728
01:43:43,844 --> 01:43:46,642
- Running for City Council.
- I'll vote for you.
1729
01:43:53,688 --> 01:43:55,656
Good afternoon, ma'am.
Will you be voting?
1730
01:43:56,891 --> 01:44:00,258
- You're running in the 6th district?
- I am.
1731
01:44:00,528 --> 01:44:03,019
Well, 6th district is my district.
1732
01:44:03,297 --> 01:44:05,527
I'm very interested
in who'll represent me.
1733
01:44:06,167 --> 01:44:09,933
I'm interested that you're interested.
As Huey Long once said, and I quote:
1734
01:44:10,204 --> 01:44:12,035
"If you got a friend, you got a vote."
1735
01:44:12,273 --> 01:44:13,968
- Did he say that?
- He sure did.
1736
01:44:14,542 --> 01:44:17,909
He told me to move to the 6th district.
He said the people are special.
1737
01:44:18,646 --> 01:44:21,843
- So do I have your vote?
- You can count on it.
1738
01:44:22,416 --> 01:44:23,280
That's one.
1739
01:44:24,085 --> 01:44:25,848
No. More than one, actually.
1740
01:44:26,153 --> 01:44:28,713
I hear Elaine Santos is ready
to stand up for you.
1741
01:44:30,024 --> 01:44:31,150
Sounds like a groundswell.
1742
01:44:34,829 --> 01:44:36,729
I wish I could tell you I won...
1743
01:44:36,997 --> 01:44:39,966
... but I got thrashed by a
Dominican from 104th Street.
1744
01:44:40,234 --> 01:44:42,498
I got branded an outsider,
and I was never in it.
1745
01:44:42,770 --> 01:44:45,466
But I'll be back in 2 years,
and I'll win.
1746
01:44:45,706 --> 01:44:46,832
You know why?
1747
01:44:47,108 --> 01:44:48,905
I'm willing to be lucky.
1748
01:44:49,176 --> 01:44:51,076
And if you're willing to be lucky...
1749
01:44:51,345 --> 01:44:53,336
... New York will give you a chance.
