It's cracked, all right.
In the bellows.
We're gonna have to replace the whole line.
- You're frowning, Mike. - I don't know why.
We only have to inspect the entire aircraft.
What's taking him so long?
You can't rush him. He's an artist.
Pneumatics. Not good. Lots of problems.
The inspector hits on Wednesday and Thursday.
That plane is headed for Honolulu--
My people handle anything. They don't know pressure.
I mean it,Jimmie. I'm scheduled full...
on that flight.
Tom, it's under control.
- I admire that man. - He's a great American, Albert.
Let's get the guys together and talk overtime.
How's this one?
What's the problem?
I followed the throttle cable. I can't tell yet.
- Rig pin's in. - Yeah.
Your V.S.V. cable's twisted.
I been working on this for 4 hours.
- How did you figure that out? - Magic...
and 1 2 years on the job.
Watch that stand.
''What's the Theory of Punctuated Equilibrium?''
- [ Kate ] That's the theory-- - ''the controversial theory.''
It's the very controversial theory...
that evolution--
''That evolution...
is not a series of steady, gradual changes--''
Right. Right. But is--
[ Sigh ] Damn it.
Is punctuated by--
Punctuated by sudden, drastic ones.
This is not a good day at work to go over this.
I'll be lucky if I pass this exam tonight.
Yeah. You don't stand a chance.
You missed two out of thirty, so far.
Kate, you're gonna do fine.
I'll be late. There's salad in the refrigerator.
That's dinner? Whatever happened to...
- greasy steaks, white bread and french fries? - They are death.
Marriage, the final frontier.
Good luck.
- You're lucky. - Why?
I learned how to ski back east.
The snow is lousy. It's all slushy, crusty or something.
Out here you got powder, sun.
I'll tell you something, Danny.
I thought I'd like it, but man, I love it!
You go like hell, and pussy everywhere.
Uh-huh.
There's pussy going up and down the mountain.
[ Parnell ] Can you beat that?
You're a thrill seeker.
I'm known for that.
Baby, baby.
No matter how many times we do this...
I still get that good feeling in the pit of my stomach.
- Let's rock 'n' roll. - Let's go, baby.
Freeze! Get your hands up, everybody!
Police.
Don't move!
Get down on your fucking knees. Get down.!
- Move.! - Hey, on your knees.
Ahh!
- Put your face on the table.! - Damn it!
Get down. Hands up!
- [ Whimpers ] - Get your hands on your head.
Hands on your head! Get down.
Get back. That's right.
Be real quiet.
Mike!
What are you shooting at a cop for?
You don't shoot at cops!
Danny, read these assholes their rights before I kill 'em.
- You got the right to remain silent, asshole. - Fucking cops.
[ Siren ]
Is that our man?
[ Siren ]
[ Scalise ] This guy shot at Mike. I had to tag him.
It's a flesh wound. He'll live.
Give him an aspirin.
-Any of you get hurt? - Nah, we're fine.
-Anything else to tell me? - Nah.
It's all yours, Jim.
Just a few more notches on your guns, eh?
We've got to clean up Dodge City.
- It's our sacred mission. - Yes.
- ""[''When The Night Comes''] - Kate?
Hi.
Greasy steaks, mashed potatoes, gravy, fried zucchini.
Everything you despise?
I zipped through my exam in 45 minutes.
I decided to treat my study partner.
You covered all the major food groups except chocolate.
''Air mail. Bon voyage.
Have a wonderful trip.''
Where are we going?
Did you know that Bangkok...
has the most spectacular temples in the world?
Oh!
It's a little doll from Bangkok.
- From Thailand. - This one's fabulous.
Look at this one.
There's hundreds of sacred monkeys roaming around.
You couldn't find monkeys in this time zone?
I can get cheap tickets. I've got passes left.
After we have kids, we'll be lucky to get to Big Bear.
You'd go anywhere, wouldn't you?
Kate, the world is not big enough to hold me.
I am a citizen of the universe.
Have you got-- Never mind. I got it.
[ Ringing ]
- Yeah? - Is that you?
It's me. What do you got?
I had to work hard for this.
I hope you're gonna appreciate it.
The deal's going down tonight.
It's 420 Oak Way. You got that?
- Yeah. I got it. - You got the address?
I got the address, Stevie. Are you deaf?
Hello? Hello? Thank you!
What a dink.
Stevie just gave us a nice one;
420 Oak Lane.
I don't know. Looks awful quiet.
Stevie's always been reliable.
He knows I'd rip him a new asshole if he lied.
- You ready? - Yeah.
You take the back. I got the front.
Let's go!
[ TV] He was 3 of 4 on 3-point shots.
[ TV- Cheers ]
[ TV]
Ahh!
Police. Don't move.!
Police. Freeze!
Police.!
[ Yell ] He's armed, Danny!
He's down.
He's down, Danny. I've got him covered.
Go ahead.
Oh, God.
Oh.
Oh. This motherfucker scared the shit out of me.
- It's a hair dryer. - What did you say?
This guy's armed with a hair dryer.
Why would a guy take a shower during a dope deal?
[ Chuckles ]
[ TV- Indistinct Voices And Cheers ]
This is 420, right? Where's his stuff?
Stevie told me 420 Oak Way.
- It's got to be here somewhere! - Wait.!
Mike, you told me 420 Oak Lane, not Way.
No, no, no, Danny. I said Oak Way.
- I said-- - Mike, look.
Tell me. What did I say?
You told me 420 Oak Lane, not Way.
It's right here. We are at 420 Oak Lane.
Holy shit, Mike!
We got the wrong house. This guy is a civilian.
-Just a second, now. - Shit.
- Oh, no. - Uh-huh.
- Fuck me! - Take it easy.
- We're gonna think. - There's nothing to think about.
Too many people want to see us step on our dicks.
We did step on our dicks.
Get the bag, Danny.
We need an ambulance and a backup.
We have a suspect with a gunshot wound.
Yes, a gunshot wound.
It's 420 Oak Way.
Lane! 420 Oak Lane.
Right. Thank you.
You're busted.
[ Gasp ]
- I'm sorry-- - I live here. What's going on?
Who are you?
Where's my husband? Is he all right?
- I can't-- - Jimmie.!
[ Loud Speaker ] ...Emergency room. Admissions. Stat.
Somebody?
Somebody, come here, please.!
Somebody!
Come here!
Shut up.
You can't shoot a cop and not get hurt.
Cop?
They shot me!
I don't know what I'm gonna do with you guys.
False arrests, excessive force...
complaints are very serious accusations.
You already know that.
Fitzgerald, what do you want from us?
The man fired on us. What are we supposed to do?
- He claims you fired. - That's bullshit.
Then you planted the gun and drugs.
What else is he gonna say?
We bring in the bad guys better than anybody.
We're out there every day. You know what that's like.
I know what that's like, Detective.
There's lots that I know. But there's a difference...
between what I know and what I can prove.
Isn't there?
- I wouldn't know. - Well, know this.
I'm a self-righteous man. It's my Baptist upbringing.
- Oh, come on. - I was on the streets 1 4 years...
before I made I.A.D. and I was tough...
fair...
and right.
Jimmie.
- Ow. - I'm sorry.
It's all right. Are you all right?
They didn't do anything to you?
What happened? They said you had drugs and a gun...
- and you shot at the police. - How could I shoot anybody?
- They broke in. - How could they break in and shoot you?
I don't know.
They're lying, and I gotta find out why.
I've got a lawyer and he's really good.
- How did you raise the bail money? - Our savings.
We gotta get this worked out fast.
It's a mistake. There's no reason--
How could anybody make a mistake like that?
How could they just break in and shoot me?
It's okay. It's gonna work out.
We'll find the answers.
They've got two decorated police officers...
sticking to the same story...
- a witness who'll testify that you sold him drugs. - A witness?
From where, The Twilight Zone?
They made a mistake and they're trying to save themselves.
This old marijuana conviction doesn't help us.
Mr. Feldman, I was at a rock concert.
I was 1 8-years old.
Jimmie, you're going to trial.
The evidence at the hearing...
was found substantial enough to warrant that.
The prosecution has approached me with a deal.
- I think you should consider this. - A deal?
That means I plead guilty, right? Why should I?
In exchange for pleading guilty to possession...
it would be changed to a misdemeanor.
The assault would be changed to reckless endangerment.
You'd do 6 months, a year, at an honor ranch; minimum security.
An honor ranch? 6 months at an honor ranch?
I'm not going to jail for 6 seconds!
I'm not going to leave Kate.
Mr. Feldman, I'd lose my job!
I'm not gonna have my life turned upside down...
because some police didn't do their jobs right.
If they found him guilty, what's the worst they could do?
If the judge ordered the terms to run consecutively...
he could go to prison for 1 2 years.
1 2 years?
That's insane.
[ Mr. Feldman ] This isn't a question of innocence or guilt.
It's about persuasion, maneuvering...
the appearance of guilt. It doesn't matter it's false.
Understand?
No, we don't. What about the truth?
I just won't confess to something I didn't do.
That's just not right.
You still have to be proven guilty...
before they throw you into prison.
Mr. Feldman, you have to understand something.
Jimmie and I love each other. We have a life together.
Why would I jeopardize that to sell dope or shoot policemen?
We were reacting on a tip from a reliable informant.
Precisely, what did he tell you?
That Mr. Rainwood kept a supply at his home.
That he was selling the product from that location.
- Where did you meet? - [ Stevie ] By the ferry to Catalina...
by the ticket window.
I bought stuff from him 3 or 4 times.
He always had good merchandise.
We suspect the drugs were smuggled to Mr. Rainwood...
- by his contacts at the airport. - Objection.
Officer Parnell's suspicions...
- have no place in this case. - Sustained.
Very well. When you entered the house, Officer Parnell...
could you tell us exactly what happened.
We identified ourselves as police officers.
He pulled a gun from under his bathrobe and fired.
I reacted. I dropped to the ground...
and returned his fire to protect myself.
Isn't it true that you and Offcer Scalise...
concocted this entire tale to justify an error?
That you planted both the drugs and the gun?
No, no. We don't operate that way.
Quite frankly, I resent the implication.
Tell me something, Mr. Feldman.
What the hell is going on when the police can do...
whatever they feel like and get away with it?
Where does that leave us?
With Jimmie.
Well, I'm not giving in to those bastards.
It's not right.
Give us a minute, will you?
Sure.
Jimmie, you're innocent.
You made the right decision.
Thejury will see that.
They'll listen.
Kate...
I'm scared.
These detectives have citations for meritorious service.
They have the highest arrest and conviction rate.
That doesn't mean they're telling the truth.
We have the sworn testimony of a man who says...
you sold him drugs on several occasions.
We have your fingerprints on a gun.
We have drugs in your house.
Most importantly, we have the word, under oath...
of two distinguished detectives...
that you fired at them while doing their duty.
I had a hair dryer in my hand.
I had just taken a shower. I don't own a gun.
I don't sell drugs...
and I don't shoot people.
Enjoying the show?
I thought it was supposed to be a trial.
I understand you've been asking a lot of questions.
I have a curious nature, Parnell.
Why would a cop try to break the backs of other cops...
that are just trying to do their jobs?
Can you explain?
- There must be some character defect. - Yeah.
You guys think I need therapy?
I don't think therapy would work in this case.
It couldn't hurt.
Sharp blow to the head is more in line.
James Rainwood, stand and face the bench.
[Judge ] James Rainwood...
you have been found guilty of assault with a deadly weapon...
and possession of cocaine for sale.
Do you have a statement to make before I pronounce sentence?
No, Your Honor.
This is your first offense.
Thejury recommended leniency.
The prosecutor strongly reminds the court, however...
that you deliberately and directly...
endangered the lives of police offcers.
This act I cannot and will not treat with leniency.
I hereby sentence you...
to 6 years at the state correctional facility...
at Oroville, California.
6 years?
Thank you. Good job.
Jimmie? Jimmie?
- They can't do this. - Don't give up. There's things we can do.
Let's go.
I'm saying good-bye to my wife!
Come on. Take it easy, pal.
You know I'm innocent, you son of a bitch!
You know it.!
Jimmie? I want to be with him!
Kate, I love you!
I want to be with my husband!
You think you're tired now, wait 'til we start processin'.
Oroville is a nasty shithole, man.
We could've been goin' to Quentin...
with them old-timers boring the shit out of you...
goin' on about jazz and how many motherfuckers they killed.
Soledad's even worse;
all them gang-bangers choosin' each other off every 5 seconds.
It's a fuckin' gladiator school.
You can't get a minute's peace.
My name's Robby. I forgot my manners when they hooked us up.
I really don't feel like talking.
This your first bit? I can tell.
I don't belong in here.
'Course you don't belong. You think I do?
Nobody ever belongs in one of these joints.
Gee, it's brutal being a victim, huh?
- Get your asses off. I'll kick you in the ass. - Move it.!
Straight ahead. What are you looking at?
- Move, move! - Know where you're at, ladies.
- Move it. - Get that smile off!.
All right, let's get naked.
Place your clothes...
and personal effects in the plastic bag.
Many of you think you are bad asses.
You are not.
Men get injured and killed in here...
and it's not just by other shit-bird convicts.
Cooperate...
you might get out ofhere without becoming a bitch...
or worse.
You give us a hard time...
I guarantee you one long stay in hell!
As soon as you're naked...
get you hands over your heads.
Turn around. Face the guards.
Heads forward...
and run your fingers vigorously through your hair.
Get vigorous there, Goldilocks...
or I'm gonna shave your dome!
Open your mouths.
Run your tongues back and forth.
Your hands in the air, show your palms to the officers.
Show them the back of your hands.
Lift up your dicks and your nuts.
All right. Give me my guards out here.
[ Buzzer ]
Step forward to the next yellow line.
[ Indistinct Voices ]
New fish.
Fish on the line!
Follow the yellow line.
They got some pretty white boys here.
[ Indistinct ]
Jesus Christ.
Will you relax? It's only temporary.
We'll be moving as soon as they finish classification.
'Course the new place will look like this...
but we'll fix that place up in no time.
Make it real nice and homey. Yeah?
[ Cell Doors Closing ] Lockdown.
[ Guard ] Lockdown.
[ Guard ] Stand clear.
[ Door Closes ]
[ Indistinct ]
Look, you gots to learn so you don't get burned.
Wait.
Notice everything.
Did some dude get a bad letter from his old lady?
Or get set off in his parole board hearing?
Or is he in love with some sissy who's already spoke for?
Moods, you know?
Everything means something in here.
I'm sure you're the one to fill me in, right, Robby?
I don't see nobody else banging your door to show you.
You ready?
This motherfucker's time has come.
Robby?
Robby, let me see ya.
I got some business to take care of.
I'll be right back.
- Yeah, as a matter of fact. - What's he doing?
Same old story. Nothing changed.
He's still in that bag.
I'm telling you.
[ Grunts ]
[ Gasps ]
[ Grunts And Yells ]
[ Yells ]
What the fuck's wrong with you?
Don't hang around unless you want 3 years in the hole.
- He's burning up for Christ sake! - So what?
He won't be the last.
- He said he knew everything. - Yeah.
He didn't know enough, did he?
He ripped those dudes off his last bit.
All right, assholes, against the wall.
He should've been watching his back.
Virgil Cane, man. Lone Ranger ain't got nothing on him.
[ Indistinct Shouts And Voices ]
- Two cartons on Portland. - All right. Two cartons, Portland.
- Malcolm. - Hey.
Give it to me. Give it to me.
Hey,Jingles.
[ Felix ] That's him. Check him out.
What you got in the bag, sucker?
Hey, Motherfucker, I'm talking to you.
Some things I got.
Toothpaste, soap, stuff from the canteen.
You ain't leavin', punk.
Felix, hold my shit for me.
You ain't got a problem with that, do you white boy?
You got what you wanted. Why don't you get out of my way?
Step back.
Nothing's happening here, right?
That's right.
Never a dull moment, eh, Virg?
Tension in the big house, just like in the movies.
I'm glad I'm leavin' this joint.
This new class of wimps makes me ashamed to be a convict.
You should be ashamed of being a lousy judge of character.
Hey, man, that hurts.
You gonna show like a white man or what, Rainwood?
Those niggers belong to the Black Guerrilla Family...
and that's some nasty old bucks.
Deal with that, or everybody's gonna know you're a punk.
Everybody. You understand.
No, I don't. Am I supposed to fight 3 guys?
No,just one.Jingles. The one that braced you.
Fist fights are for free men.
- You gotta get a piece and make a move. - What?
Doin' him.
You're telling me I should kill him?
No, I want you to marry his motherfucking sister!
You better get with the program, slick.
I'm not gonna kill a man over toothpaste and soap.
If you don't off that buck, they'll make you their kid;
running errands, doin' whatever.
Hell, they might think you're real pretty.
You ain't got to stand tall in here...
but you got to stand up!
I've been thinking about what to say to you for a week.
Like I told you, your husband's case is old news.
We thoroughly checked out the officers' stories.
They held up.
I need some help here.
I'm tired, and I'm discouraged...
and my husband's still in prison.
I'm his only connection to the outside, and I have nothing.
No one wants the truth more than I do.
- Those men were lying and you know it! - Please.
It's not what I think, or know, or suspect.
It's what I can prove.
I need something solid. Otherwise, it's all theory.
I'm not a theory. I'm a real human being...
and so is Jimmie.
Look me right in the eye, and burn my face into your brain.
You remember the pain in it!
We have both suffered because you people screwed up...
and you didn't dig up the truth.
We're going to continue to suffer.
That's real.
[ Machinery Noises ]
Hey.
How'd you get my pass sent up?
Clerks run the joint.
You do things for each other.
Somebody's got to give you the game or you're fucked.
It's simple in here.
It's an insane place with insane rules...
so it ends up being logical.
If you're white, you hang white.
Otherwise, the niggers eat you alive.
You're not listening.
All that civil rights shit gets left at the gate.
You've got a problem with Jingles.
You can go to the Aryan Brotherhood for help...
that asshole Butcher and his partners.
They'll make you part of the A.B. for life.
Or you can handle your problem by yourself.
I've got respect, because I earned it.
Anybody fucks with me, it's their life.
- Where you going? - You talked to me and I listened.
Hey! Hey.
Don't you be talking out the side of your neck...
when I'm trying to do you a solid.
All right. All right.
Let's get it all out on the table.
Every time I turn around, somebody's giving me advice.
Mostly it's about killing.
So, what's your interest in me?
There's not much chance I'm ever getting out.
Those cops of yours are part of the reason.
That's what we got in common.
I got my last armed-robbery conviction behind them.
The rest is my business.
[ Indistinct ]
It's okay.
Hey.
The directions were good? You didn't get lost?
It's okay, sweetheart.
We'll sit here and talk.
We'll be fine.
So, how's Albert and Yvonne?
Did he get the promotion?
Yeah. They're gonna...
be moving to Seattle.
That's great. I'm happy for them.
I filed the appeal.
So, how long?
Feldman says it'll take months.
The chances of a reversal--
I'm keeping after him. I call him every day.
I'm making sure that he keeps me up to date.
[ Sigh ] I'm sorry.
No, come on.
There's nothing to be sorry about.
I mean...
we're just beginning this.
We just got to hold on and be strong for each other.
And keep trying everything we can think of.
Are you all right?
Yeah.
I can handle this place if I'm sure of that.
If I'm sure you're all right, I can.
No matter what happens, I love you. And no--
That's not ever gonna change.
I know that.
I love you, too.
I'm all right.
I swear to God I am.
Hi,Jimmie!
Here's the skinny. From here on out...
your outside money be goin' on our books.
So we be... stylin'!
I'm not giving you anything else.
''I'm not gonna give you anything else.''
What?
You gonna show us...
what a real convict you are, sucker?
Don't you ever touch me, you white motherfucker...
ever!
[ Grunts And Groans ]
You motherfucker!
Come on,Jingles, man.
Get off me, you mothers!
Come on, Jingles, man!
Let's get out of here.
Oh, man.
Rainwood, do yourself and everyone else some good here.
Give me their names.
I'll make sure they don't bother you.
I fell.
You need some help. That's pretty obvious.
I might be new, but I know how some things work here.
[ Sigh ] Fine.
You want to be known as a stand-up guy, fine.
I fell.
You're going into segregation for 1 5 days.
Maybe that will jog your memory.
[ Inmate In Cell ] Who you bringing in now?
Number 6.
[ Yell ]
[ Typewriter ]
[ Chuckling ]
When did he check back in?
[ Laughing ]
It's my main man.
[ Indistinct ]
Shut the fuck up.
You ain't nothin'. You ain't nothin'.
This shit gettin' old yet?
It's only gonna get worse unless you take him out.
- You talk about it like it's nothing. - Not nothing.
It's necessary sometimes.
Maybe you walked away in the free world...
but not here. There's no place to go.
Hey, I caught that action in the yard today.
Looks like the A.B.'s and the niggers...
goin' be fightin' over you.
You must be one flattered motherfucker.
How's your chow?
[ Indistinct ]
You be cool, and everything will be everything.
Let's take a walk.
Let's go. Who you lookin' at?
You ain't gettin'no help, motherfucker. Forget that.
Bring your ass on.
[ Excited Shouts ]
Check it!
That bitch was sold to us...
by the Muslims for 1 0 cartons and some drugs.
That made him ours.
Only he didn't want to be sold.
He wouldn't give it up to us.
We decided to rough it off, you know?
You know what's funny?
I said, ''Do you know what's really funny?''
There are worse things than that.
Ain't that something?
[ Muffled Shouts ]
[ Yells ]
You're gonna be our kid...
and I ain't hardly bullshittin'.
Get up.!
You go on back to your workout.
Being healthy's a good thing.
[ Felix ] Get out ofhere.
Oh, Virg, gin. That makes $500,000...
2-dozen assault rifles, and 3 teenage girls you owe me.
It really mounts up. You want some more pruno?
Is a bear Catholic?
I'm ready to deal with my problem.
Are you straight with Venucci?
- The guy on the serving line. - Good.
Sneak some of that soap back to your house.
- You understand how the thing's goin' down? - I understand!
You don't try to hurt him. You kill him!
Break the piece off after you stick him!
I understand.
Just trying to get my mind around it.
Yeah.
Can I have some more?
Hey.
[ Mumbling ]
Last of the batch. You get extra.
Yo,Jingles!
It won't be too long now.
Venucci used plenty of soap.
And baby...
the first one's always the hardest.
[ Coughing ]
I'm gonna take that piece and fuck you with it, punk.
[ Grunts ]
[ Coughing ]
Walk.
Walk out of here.
Go on, man. Two points.
Let's go. Let's go. Come on.
Shoot it, man, shoot it.!
Oh, all right.!
[ Indistinct ]
[ Alarm ]
I know you did it, Rainwood.
I don't know anything about anything.
You should know this.
I can do anything I want with you in here.
That's right, Lieutenant.
People like you have been doing that.
It started with those cops, went on through the trial...
and now it's your turn, isn't it?
Take your fucking turn. I don't give a shit!
Bartlett!
[ Lieutenant ] 90 days in the hole.
A lame like you won't make it.
You'll come out of there drooling all over yourself.
I wouldn't bet on that.
[ Siren ]
- What do you want? - Now, Katie...
don't start getting all nervous.
We're tried of hearing your name come up.
You've been complaining to agencies all over town.
We even heard from the mayor's offce.
You're trying to get those newspaper guys after us.
Not nice.
I'll continue trying to get my husband freed.
If we didn't know better, we'd think that...
you were trying to find a way to take us down.
It's not going to happen, Katie.
People have been trying for years.
We've been beaten. Danny was stabbed.
I was shot several times. Nothing happened.
It's like we're charmed, you know?
Who can explain it?
You can talk to anybody, and it won't mean shit.
Like Fitzgerald. He acts all bad...
but basically, he's a pencil pusher.
We all know what happened to your old man.
He wouldn't play along and he fucked himself.
That was long ago, so forget it and stop bothering people.
No one can touch us. You remember that.
They admitted they framed Jimmie. What more do you want?
I've told you, secondhand conversations mean nothing.
All right.
They threatened me.
Parnell said that your department was shit...
and that you were a--
A what?
A punk nigger with his nose up the brass's ass.
[ Guard ] Clear the yellow line.
[ Convict ] Way to do it. Way to do it, Rainwood.
[ Convict ] Solidjob, Rainwood.
- [ Guard ] Escort. - It's Rainwood.
[ Guard ] Clear for escort.
Escort.
[ Moans ]
[ Virgil ] Jimmie Rain.
You feelin' a little... logy, are you?
It's probably too much rich food lately.
Night life fucked me up, too.
You did a piece of work and you held your mud.
It's over.
A great flick tomorrow night. I expect to see you there.
Oh, God, Danny, Danny, Dan!
I got to stop eating that Cuban food.
It's ripping up my insides. Ow!
Express your feelings, Mike. You're a ball of repression!
I'll give you repression. Right here's repression.
Boom!
[ Fitzgerald ] Hey, boys. We need to talk.
Well, look who's here.
Off the record.
Kate Rainwood came to see me.
Kate who-wood?
You put her husband away.
Make your point.
She said you threatened her.
Did she say that?
The two of you, stay away from her.
Oh, fuck her.
And fuck you! Fuck you!
This internal affairs horseshit is going to your head.
Ow!
Do it, Scalise, do it!
I'll break his fucking neck!
You stay away from Kate Rainwood!
I don't like being called a punk nigger...
boy.
[ Convict ] Hard rain fell on those motherfuckers. Too bad.
Nice game, man.
Next time, all right?
You keep thinking that, I'll keep getting richer, Train.
Yeah, right.
Why don't you invest that...
vast wealth of yours in my sports action?
- You got to think about your future. - Forget it.
I only bet on a sure thing...
- like your hair getting gray before you get out. - Oh.
Lucky fuckin' shot, Rainwood.
Butcher, man, you still listening to weight-loss tapes?
Asshole.
They ought to wire the man's jaws shut.
[Jimmie ] Go ahead. You can run, but you cannot hide.
[ Virgil ] Let me think, will ya?
- That hole's getting deeper. Check. - I was counting on you...
to make up for my losses to Malcolm.
Is parole still agreeing with him?
Yeah. He took off some dope dealers and started business.
He couldn't wait for a bank loan.
Free enterprise in action.
She didn't forget how to make lemon pound cake?
No. She's sending you the recipe and an apron.
You asshole.
Oh, yeah.
It must be nice to have Kate out there waiting.
It's everything. I feel like a kid when she visits.
I walk around for a week grinning like a maniac.
She kept me strong.
Yeah, they do that, don't they?
I had someone once.
All right, you got my attention.
I met her in a bar one night.
Those days I was running and ripping;
just daring the man to catch me.
I was trying to become a legend.
Lord, the things you remember.
You got that right.
She was there the night Parnell and Scalise busted me.
She jumped all over them and they...
kicked the shit out of her.
You don't forget things like that.
[ Guard ] Lock-in.
Janie had heart.
I'll catch you tomorrow.
Right.
You're in a category all by yourself in this joint.
You're actually innocent.
Yeah, not like the rest of these assholes.
So, what's on your mind, Virg?
You ever think about getting some pay-back?
Yes, I have.
But they're cops.
- They're also human. -Just barely.
But...
there's always a way to take somebody down.
It's not multiple choice. Yes or no?
It's not me.
I remember when shanking a man wasn't you.
Give me some respect on this, will you?
You didn't know a goddamn thing...
about respect until I taught you.
Since you're up for parole...
are you gonna go home, and live like this never happened?
Don't put me under the gun, man.
I just want my life back.
How often does a con...
get a chance to get some justice, huh?
Or deserve it?
I think I've proven myself...
ready to reenter society...
and start a new life for myself.
I have a good--
How about the truth? Hi, members of the parole board.
I've just wasted over 3 years of my life...
for no fucking reason.
Nah, I don't think the truth will fly.
Yeah!
I won't be needing these.
Here.
- Where'd you get that stinger? - Someplace.
Don't blow the power when you hook it in the socket.
I know how to use it.
I've only been doing time sinceJesus was a baby.
I hardly wore 'em.
That's my phone number.
I haven't had one for a while, so don't lose it.
I guess I'm gonna have to watch the neighborhood by myself.
I guess that makes you...
- the Mr. Rogers of the correctional system. - Ha.
I owe you, man.
Everything.
Thank you.
Wasn't nothing. I had time to kill, anyway.
Take it slow, Rain. Don't forget your schooling.
[ Buzzer ]
Ain't life a motherfucker?
Riding in a car.
You know, Kate...
all things considered...
I think I should've taken the honor ranch.
New color's great.
What is it?
Robin's egg.
I'm dying for a beer. Do you want one?
Are you kidding?
You sure you don't want anything stronger?
Beer is great.
The place looks wonderful, Kate.
I'm so glad you're--
Let me put these down.
[ Gasps ]
- [ Grunts ] - [ Gasps ]
Oh...
goddamn it!
It's okay.
I thought about this moment for 3 years.
I wanted it to be perfect.
We have all the time in the world.
You're the best.
[ Sigh ]
There's this cabin we can rent...
up in Arrowhead.
No neighbors for 1 0 miles.
Guaranteed.
So, what do you think?
In the yard, there was a strong wind that blew from the west.
I'd look at the mountains covered with snow.
Sometimes I'd think that wind was gonna pick me up...
and carry me over the walls to you.
You'll never know how much I missed your sweet face.
That's what kept me alive.
[ Engine Starts ]
[ Car Door Bangs ]
[ Parnell ] Rainwood?
Long time, no see.
[ Engine Stops ]
Bad looking ride, Jimmie.
Come on inside. We need to have a talk.
It's all right, Kate.
I haven't done anything. It's okay.
- What are you doing here? - Nice to see you, Mrs. Rainwood.
You're looking very good.
We had to make another call in this part of town.
We thought we'd stop by.
Mind if we... sit down?
Sit down.
Honey, get us something cold to drink, will you?
- What the fuck's wrong? - I told you to sit your ass down.!
Sit down!
Get us something cold to drink, goddamn it!
Why don't you, Katie?
What are you?
Some kind of bad ass now you did some time?
You can say fuck and everything.
Don't you ever come out of your mouth...
like a smart-ass with me!
Rainwood?
Do you know who you are?
You are an ex-convict on parole...
and you are owned by the state.
The state believes the police, not the ex-convict, always.
Jimmie, I don't want you to think...
we're picking on you. Thank you.
We do this with every parolee we've busted.
It's kind of like preventive maintenance.
Guys get weird ideas in thejoint.
This call is special. You and your crusading cunt of a wife...
- have caused us a lot-- - Jimmie, please don't.
You wouldn't let go, and it got you shit.!
Go ahead, Katie...
try to save him like you couldn't do before.
From now on, Rainwood, you are a model citizen.
If we happen to say ''shit,''
you squat.
Understand that, and it might keep you out of jail.
Jimmie?
Are you all right?
I make shit coffee.
I woke up and you were gone.
Jimmie?
They're not gonna leave us alone, you know that?
We go on like this...
they're gonna keep sliding in and out of our lives.
We can move.
Kate, I'm on parole.
Aren't there circumstances--
What kind of reason am I going to give them?
Police persecution?
Christ, my parole agent would haul me in for observation.
We'll just have to deal with it, somehow.
They came into our home.!
Jimmie...
you can't fight these men.
It's not just because they're police.
They destroy people whenever they feel like it.
You're not like them.
You don't know me.
I do.
Not anymore.
What are you talking about?
Talk to me.
You see what's happening to me...
but it's happening to us.
They're tearing us apart, and I won't stand for that.
I won't lose you.
I'm gonna stop them.
- What are you going to do? - Whatever it takes.
Now,you can be in...
or I'll keep you out, if that's what you want.
Whatever it takes.
I'm here because we don't know what else to do.
It's like they hauntJimmie.
After they came to the house--
We need your help.
Malcolm can only do so much.
Those assholes have been riding high so long...
they think only kryptonite can take them down.
Of course, they are...
pea-brain, dickless shitheads.
Which is...
definitely in our favor. Definitely!
You've been hoping for this?
Let's just say, it makes my decade!
I'll get exactly the information you need...
and I'll reach out to you real soon.
You're just like Jimmie described you;
a schemer and a charmer.
Thanks for everything you did for him, Virgil.
You boys got the competition running for cover.
That's very good work.
I like having only my dope on the street.
- It makes me feel special. - Our pleasure.
We think we know how to make a point, Mr. Donatelli.
[ Donatelli ] It's Joseph.
You keep making that point and we'll keep getting wealthier.
Virgil sure got this shit down.
How long have they been hooked up?
It's a pretty recent thing.
Donatelli uses them to edge out the other dealers.
Any competitors, he tips Parnell and Scalise...
and they bust 'em. Fucking cops...
they steal the dope and Donatelli buys it at discount.
- Mr. Slick there the lawyer? - Mr. Nate Blitman.
He spreads the cash tojudges...
and whoever keeps the focus off Donatelli.
That proves good legal representation is a must.
Yeah. You ain't lying, Jimmie Rain.
Same old, same old.
Your wife tells me you have a plan...
to put Parnell and Scalise away.
Yeah. Kate's told me good things about you.
The problem is you're a cop, like them.
I'm nothing at all like them!
I'm here because your wife asked me.
You need a cop to make this stick.
If you have something, let's have it.
- Otherwise, forget it. - All right, forget it.
Are you crazy?
You won't be fit to live with unless we do it.
And you have been walking around whining about proof...
since the day I met you.!
Work the fucking thing out!
What are you willing to do?
At this point...
almost anything.
Look, with your help...
we can get these guys dirty and put them away.
What do I get if I agree?
You'll witness them buying cocaine.
No shit.
You be ready on a half-hour's notice.
I'll give you the time and place.
Just you! No one else.
I'm gonna go along with you on this...
but if you fuck up and my ass ends in a sling...
you and I are gonna go round and round.
I guess I better not fuck up.
Come here. Come here.
Look at me.
Too many vitamins, huh, Stevie?
What do you got?
Coke. 1 0 or 1 2 keys, uncut.
I can tell you where and when.
You guys grab it before they step on it...
you're rich.
Who's it belong to?
Reynolds.
- Reynolds. - Who's Reynolds?
He's new, just set up.
So?
It'll cost you a grand, man.
You fucking junkie, son-of-a-bitch!
You fucking junkie, don't play games with me!
I need the money, man.!
You'll get the rest when you call.
This better be real.
[ Grunt ]
Hell of a performance.
This thing's gonna give me a heart attack.
Stevie...
understand that Malcolm and I know people...
who can find you anywhere.
I hate those pricks, too.
I've been lookin' for a chance like this.
Well, you got your money and your chance.
Take the next ''whatever'' and leave.
[ Boat Whistle ]
[ Parnell ] All right, freeze. Get down.!
[ Muffled Shouts ]
[ Boat Whistle ]
[ Scalise ] Keep your hands where I can see 'em.
We're gonna find you boys a real job.
Oh, you want to get frisky, huh?
[ Scalise ] I'm gonna take you boys on the whoopee tour.
[ Scalise ] Up against the wall, now.!
Spread 'em.
- How'd we do? - There was only about 25 or 30 keys.
- I'm so disappointed. - [ Chuckle ]
[ Scalise ] Let's move it.
Got a couple of live ones for you.
Up against the desk.
- Spread 'em. - Coke. Almost 2 keys.
You guys trying for the record?
- [ Parnell ] Yeah,yeah. - That is unfortunate.
Well, Mr. Blitman.
What are you doing here?
- I heard you have some of our people. - I don't have--
You're booking two of Mr. Donatelli's employees.
-Whose employees? -Mr. Donatelli will expect to see you...
- tomorrow morning. - Mr. Blitman, could we--
- Don't worry, boys. - Mr. Blitman?
Please let me out.
I thought they were working for Reynolds.
[ Parnell ] One thing is sure...
Donatelli is not gonna believe this was an accident.
- Look, we call him up. Tell him what happened. - Yeah.
We give him back his dope. It's no big deal.
Right.
- We've been doing this for a long time, huh? - Yeah.
We're alive, got some dough, and we're not in the joint.
- [ Chuckle ] - Why don't wejust keep the stuff.
We keep it and we'll split.
Those people in Florida will give us a good price.
We could leave the country.
It's not like we don't have emergency plans.
On your face, motherfucker.
Now.!
Do it! Get down.
Get down!
[Jimmie ] Get the keys.
On your feet.
Put your free hand on top of your head.
Free hand on top of your head!
Move to the post!
Do you have any idea who we are?
Yeah. Two-thirds ofThe Three Stooges.
[ Laughter]
- Take it easy. - Fuck you!
- Be cool. Buy some time. - We better.
They find out we been ripped off, we dead.
Hey, we'll handle it, man.
How could you be so stupid!
It was my dope, and those were my men!
Look...
we'll bring you your drugs tomorrow.
It's too risky to touch it today. Really.
By noon tomorrow...
or the world won't be big enough to swallow you up.
And remember...
if either of you fuck me, you both fuck me. Understand?
If you fuck me, being cops won't mean nothin:
I'll kill your families, then you.
And I'll do it in pieces.
Now, get out of here.
[ Ringing ]
Yes, special narcotics, Parnell.
[ Malcolm ] This is one of the guys that took you off.
Well, what do you want?
Look, we made a big mistake.
We didn't know the dope belonged to Donatelli.
- Yeah, you made a big mistake, all right. - Okay, okay.
All we want is some traveling money.
$20,000.
We'll sell it back to you, and we're gone.
We just want out alive.
- All right. There's this place-- - No, no.
I'll call you back with the place.
Have the money.
Kate?
You'll call Fitzgerald in 1 0 minutes?
This doesn't scare you, does it?
It scares me...
but I can handle it.
Jimmie?
You said I don't know you anymore...
but I do. I've thought a lot about...
what must have happened to you in prison.
[ Sigh ]
It's not what happened to me, Kate.
It's what I did.
I promise you, after tonight, we'll have our lives back.
If something goes wrong, and I wind up in prison--
Jimmie.
If I wind up back in prison...
you have to promise me...
that you'll move on with your life.
I don't want you to hold on again.
I love you too much for that.
I can't make that promise to you.
So, I guess you'll just have to come back to me...
Jimmie Rain.
$20,000 for three-quarters of a million in coke.
It's not a bad deal.
Come on, you're doing the right thing.
-Just think of it as early retirement. - Right.
We'll be in Florida before Donatelli misses us.
[ Parnell ] Be sure you get a receipt.
[ Car Engine Starts ]
- Anything? - No. Looks all clear.
Drive by the shops, huh?
We got company.
- You guys miss your bus? - You the man?
Turn around. Spread your legs.
He's clean.
[ Malcolm ] I'm gonna tell you exactly how it goes.
You give me the money. When my partner sees me drive off...
he'll put the rest in that barrel. Got it?
- I want my dope now! - Slow down.
I don't want to, Danny. Who is this creep?
I'm your daddy, punk!
Back off.
[ Scalise ] Look, here's the bread.
All right, I'm gone, gentlemen.
Are you crazy?
- [ Parnell ] Shut up.! - Shit.
- Mike. - Shut up.
I'm not gonna let shit like this order me around.
Get your partner here in 5 seconds with the dope...
or I'll blow your fucking brains out here.
You understand? Now do it.
Jimmie?
Jimmie!
[ Malcolm ] Yo,Jimmie.!
Jimmie.!
- Let him go! - Rainwood!
Let him go. I've got it.
- Okay. You go and get the stuff. - Yeah.
And put it in the car.
Come out here where I can see you.
Put the bag down right here.
Up against the car.
Hands on the trunk.
You know the position, Rainwood.
Uh-huh, what have we here?
Oh, Mike, it's yours.
Turn around.
You got balls, Rainwood. I give you that.
I'm just gonna...
pick up this little bag here...
and take a stroll.
If you try anything tricky, then we'll shoot you.
Now let him go.
Rainwood, you son-of-a-bitch.
[ Grunt ]
Police!
Danny, meet me at the entrance.
Give it up, Scalise!
Give it up.!
Don't do it!
Hey, man, I'm sorry. I didn't see you.
I'm a police officer. There's a man hurt back there.
Police officer.
[ Yells ]
I'm gonna cut you in half.
I wouldn't bet on that.
[ Yell ]
[ Kate ] Jimmie.!
[ Guard ] Clear the yellow line.
[ Convict ] New fish. Fish on the line.
[ Virgil ] Hey, Offcer.
Ain't life a motherfucker?
"Hold on "
"I'll be back for you it won't be long "
"But for now there's something there "
" That's calling me "
"So take me down a lonesome road "
