Above the Law Page #2

Oh, yeah?

This is huge, my man.

It's a shipment coming in next Tuesday.

What the hell do you know

about a shipment?

This is square, on my mother's soul.

You gotta believe me, man.

You can't set me up.

I heard it from a hooker friend who's

banging this big coke lawyer. He told her.

- What lawyer?

- I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

Carlos Abandano. That's the one.

Better f***ing pray to God

you ain't bullshitting me...

...or I'll come back and tear your heart out.

Let's go.

Who are you?

Get back!

I own this place!

I own this joint.

There's a guy upstairs.

I want to get him arrested!

- That's the motherf***er right there!

- These two guys are under arrest.

It's a cesspool in there. Check it out.

Boy, you got some strange toilet habits.

I'm gonna take her home and clean her up.

I don't want to take her

to her grandmother like this.

Jax, I hate these cocaine lawyers.

And this shitty weather.

They're gonna have me serving time.

I wish you'd relax, hon.

This'll never get into court.

Except against us.

I don't care how

I have to get at these guys...

Let me reiterate.

You said you were going to protect

my butt and be my guardian angel.

Hang on, hang on.

There is an engine block

clearing customs...

...Tuesday, 10:
00 pickup.

Fulton Meat Market.

An engine block?

Clever, clever, guys.

I'd like an '86 Lincoln...

...IIlinois 354-DOG-6"7", please.

Ramone Chi Chi Testamente,

a Salvadoran national with quite a record.

Remember, you were harping on me

about having a date.

Dream on, baby.

I want to tell you, what I turned down

tonight, you could never come close to.

You should become a science-fiction

writer, instead of a cop or a DA...

...with that imagination you got.

You're right.

How you doing, Mr. Abandano?

Chi Chi, how you doing?

- I do not like this place.

- You do not like this place?

No, I don't want to go into this place.

You know I hate places like this.

- What don't you like about it?

- The element!

You know something, darling?

I really think that you should lighten up,

because...

...we're gonna party.

This is my lawyer. Say hello.

- Two for dinner?

- Just drinks.

Good work.

I don't believe it.

Sit down here. You're gonna love

this place. I promise.

Salvano, the f***ing cockroach.

I don't believe this. You always do this

to me in front of people.

That is beautiful.

Excuse me.

I love it.

You'll have your engine block

on Tuesday, Boss.

If this happened a week from Tuesday,

I could read about it in the paper.

Relax. It'll make you famous.

Just what I need, to be famous.

Can you believe this?

Lieutenant Strozah, meet those two cops

in the back alley.

We got it down pretty good.

We got guys in the front,

we got a couple of cars out back.

Sealed off pretty good.

Three of our best guys.

I handpicked each one.

Jackson, Lukich, Nico. They're all topshelf.

They know how to do this.

They've done it before.

I can tell how much you love it here.

God! Now I know why I'm a vegetarian.

You eat meat. I know you eat meat.

- I'm gonna throw up.

- I've heard you eat meat.

Nico, keep the channel clear.

Don't embarrass us.

Right over there.

Two guys in the alley over there.

Definitely the Feds.

Frank, it's f***ing infested down here.

What are you trying to do to us?

Someone from downtown got wind of it.

Don't worry.

They're trying to make points.

Just handle the pinch.

This ain't a bust, it's a f***ing convention.

I don't believe this.

Look at this, boys. Here we go.

Here we go. Jackson, stay back.

I think they made you.

You're too pretty to be a meatpacker.

It's going down, boys. Let's go.

Keep your heads up.

Woman, let's do it.

The cars are going around the corner.

Come on, Nico. Lukich, get up there.

What do you think?

Looks good.

Let's get on with it.

- What the f*** are you a**holes doing?

- Feds!

Sh*t! They jumped too soon!

What the f*** is this?

Freeze! Police!

Get back!

Nico, the Lincoln!

Nico!

Chi Chi!

Nico!

Nico!

F***ing animal!

Get rid of him!

I'm out! Do him!

He's still on the roof! Get rid of him!

Where do I go? What do I do?

Hit those hooks over there!

What do I do?

Stop the f***ing car!

Stop the f***ing car!

Hands up! Out of the car!

What the f*** is wrong with you?

You scared me to death!

Nico, you okay?

- Wait till you hear about...

- Shut the f*** up!

You make a nice hood ornament, Sarge.

- Come on!

- Gotta get this garbage out of here.

You gonna lose your license

driving around like that.

Let's go.

What do we got here?

What kind of high is this?

Sky-high.

Military explosives.

C-4, my man.

Hey, Boss...

...you can see your place

from the office of the FBI.

Ain't that something?

- Your name again?

- Agent Neeley, Chicago office.

The arresting officer, Toscani.

What does he do?

- He's a tac sergeant, CPD Vice.

- Hold on a minute...

I'll tell you what this cop is.

He's a f***ing menace.

He almost strangled me!

Your problem is being

taken care of right now.

It should've been handled 12 hours ago

when my throat was in one piece!

I don't know who's running

this outfit here...

...but I'll tell you one thing:

Somebody better get his wires straight.

You don't know who you're dealing with.

This maniac should be wearing a number,

not a badge!

- The director does not want a problem.

- There won't be one.

And I don't want any problems.

I understand.

Just listen.

They are to be released immediately.

You can count on it.

Avoid all contacts.

You'll have the Bureau's full cooperation.

You're free to go.

Thank you very much, gentlemen.

Good work. I loved the face of that

FBI guy when the call came through.

Salvano.

I don't want any more problems.

I don't enjoy babysitting.

Everything is going to be all right

from now on.

I promise you, Mr. Zagon.

Attention, please. Attention, everyone.

Please, guys.

I just want to get a few things

straightened out.

A few minutes ago, I received a call from

the First Deputy Superintendent's office.

As we all know, possession of these kinds

of explosives is a federal offense...

...and falls under the jurisdiction

of the federal agencies represented here.

What kind of bullshit is that?

The Feds come in, the doors close,

nobody hears, smells or sees anything.

And that's no answer.

It's no answer to why

the biggest drug dealer in the city...

...is out on the street

as free as a f***ing bird!

Keep it in your pants, all right. These men

have a job to do, just like we do.

It's their game, let them play it.

What I'm about to say

does not leave this room. Is that clear?

Mr. Salvano has been working

for some time...

...in cooperation

with certain federal agencies.

I'm not at liberty to divulge the nature

or extent of Mr. Salvano's involvement.

I just learned of its existence myself

a few hours ago.

One thing I can tell you

is that Mr. Salvano's role...

...is crucial to an extremely sensitive,

ongoing investigation.
