Another 48 Hrs. Page #5

Synopsis: For the past four years, San Francisco cop Jack Cates has been after an unidentified drug kingpin who calls himself the "Ice Man". At the Hunter's Point Raceway, Jack confronts Tyrone Burroughs and Arthur Brock. Jack kills Brock in self defense, but Burroughs escapes, and Jack is in danger of going to prison because Brock's gun can't be found. Jack finds a picture that proves that the Ice Man has put a price on the head of Reggie Hammond, who is scheduled to be released from prison on the next day. Jack tries to convince Reggie to help him clear his name and find the Ice Man, but Reggie says he won't help unless Jack gives Reggie the $500,000 that Jack has been holding on to for Reggie. Jack refuses to give Reggie the money unless Reggie helps him. After the bus that is transporting Reggie away from the prison is forced to crash by two bikers and Jack gets shot by the same two bikers, Jack forces Reggie to help him by having the hospital release Reggie into his custody.

whose picture you had?

You've got to run

a mugshot through NClC.

- How long does that take?

- Hours... sometimes it's slow.

Know why the lceman wants to kill me?

lt has nothing to do with money.

He wants to kill me because

l've seen him. l can blow his cover.

Find out which guy is putting up

the most resistance to you on this.

That is probably the lceman.

lt has to be Wilson. That prick

has been dogging my ass for years.

Ever since l started looking

for the lceman. All through this thing.

l've got to get you over to the hearing

to lD this guy.

They might decide to put me away

for good. lt started two hours ago.

After the incident

with lnspector Cates

he dredged up this idea of a criminal

mastermind running the Bay Area.

For four years he has wasted

resources and manpower

in trying to vindicate

himself and his theories.

Describe his professional attitude.

When an officer takes it upon himself

to violate department regulations,

it makes it hard

for a good cop to do his job.

Objection. These remarks have

nothing to do with the incident.

l'm trying to show

a pattern of behaviour

that will illuminate the events

at Hunter's Point Raceway.

l'll let the testimony stand.

JUDGE:
After the preliminary

evidence provided by the State,

and in adherence to laws specified

by the State of California...

- There he is!

- Order! This is a judicial hearing.

- No, it's some other guy.

- No, right there!

That's not him.

- Who are these men?

- Your Honour, that's lnspector Cates.

- That's definitely not him.

- That's got to be the lceman.

He's not the one

l took the money from.

- That's got to be the lceman.

- This is too much!

The State may proceed with a

criminal trial against lnspector Cates.

The trial date will be the earliest

opening on the court calendar.

- lceman whacked out Price.

- You want to talk about it?

The man had no choice.

Your girl ratted him out to the cops.

That's no bullshit. You both know her.

She lives at the King Mei Hotel.

You should be more careful

about who you hang out with.

- Who pulled the trigger?.

- What's the f***ing difference?

The cops were getting too close.

lt's business, not personal.

You should learn the difference.

Business... Yeah.

That's business, too.

(LAUGHlNG)

You happy now, a**hole?

That still doesn't change the job.

- You've got to kill Hammond.

- How do we do that?

Kirkland Smith is the dude

who kept Reggie alive in the joint.

Reggie owes him.

He's going to pay back.

The dude has a daughter who works

in the Haight Goodwill Store.

We're gonna get Hammond,

and the cop and the lceman.

- We'll kill them all.

- Just stick to Hammond, Joe Bob.

l keep forgetting the combination.

l don't want to see you clear out

your locker. We can get this guy.

l've been a cop for 20 years.

All l've ever been around

are pimps, murderers and robbers.

Between you and me, l've always

been straight. You did your best...

..so here's your 475,000 dollars.

You kept my money in your locker?.

ln a police locker, Jack?. !

Yeah! Hey, we've got no more ties.

You're a free man, Reg.

My advice to you is,

take this money and disappear.

- Are you sure, man?

- Yeah.

All right.

All right.

Thank you. Have a nice day.

Reggie Hammond. This is $75,000,

courtesy of your father.

- This money has got to be dirty.

- We both know your dad is no angel.

This money is not stolen.

He helped me when l was in jail.

l owed him.

He thought it would benefit you.

A lot of fathers wouldn't even do this.

Accept it. Bye-bye.

Mr Hammond. How is he?

He's good. You should go see him.

- Maybe.

- No, you should go see him.

- Hey.

- Hi, Ben.

- Sorry l couldn't help more.

- You did what you could.

lt's gonna be pretty f***ing dull

without you around here.

l can't believe

you're not coming to work tomorrow.

- Get a beer?.

- Maybe later.

- Got a bunch of messages, Frank.

- Thanks, Joe.

- Yeah?

- We got Hammond.

- Good. ls he dead yet?

- There's a change in plans.

- Killing one of us wasn't in the deal.

- What is this sh*t?

You want him dead,

we want 500 G's.

For doing one of the Brotherhood.

500,000 or Hammond fingers you.

There's a place in Modesto...

You want more money, pick

a place indoors, with lots of people.

Some guy named Burroughs,

looks just like the guy you were after.

They found him dead in the Mission.

Here's his sheet. lt's a mile long.

l circulated this guy's picture here

and got nothing.

That's funny,

Cruise busted him last July.

Cates, even though there's

no love lost between us, it hurts me

to see a man throw away his career.

Let's let bygones be bygones.

l'm looking for the Cage Club,

the upstairs part.

Fifth floor.

You've got to join. 50 bucks.

You don't look too happy, Reg.

Sorry. Look me up later

and l'll buy you a drink.

Where's Hammond?

- Who's the girl?

- Just somebody he was with.

Now, let's check the merchandise.

Take him out behind the building and

blow him away. Shoot both of them.

What's this guy doing here?

That guy ain't the lceman.

- You're just trying to save your ass.

- That guy is a cop. lt's a set-up.

They got the wrong guy,

don't they, Cruise?

Hello, Jack.

lt's Christmas here, Willie.

We can take them all.

That's the lceman!

Pretty good, Jack.

You always were a smart cop.

- l really didn't want to believe it.

- Sorry to let you down, Jack.

All l want is the lceman.

You two, take the money and leave.

- Nobody is leaving with my money.

- Money?. l want the f***ing lceman.

Get the f*** out of the way.

F***!

- Somebody help me!

- Shut up!

Let go of me.

You f***ing b*tch!

You set me up, Ben.

You never ran that sh*t through NClC.

You had Cruise

pick up the gun at the track.

l needed leverage on you.

You were getting close.

Jack, we can work this out,

just let me out of here.

You're a disgrace, Ben.

There's nothing worse than a bad cop.

Thank you for a very pleasant day!

l've got no car, no money

and now l've got this

dope man's Uzi by my temple.

This is Jack's day. Why don't you

let Jack shoot me? Shoot me, Jack!

Coming through.

Oh, Jack, l can't believe

you shot me. This sh*t hurts.

l told you to buy a bullet-proof vest.

You did real good, Reggie.

The doc says you'll be fine.

l guess l'm a pretty good shot.

- You're gonna have to take it easy.

- l'm sorry he was your friend.

He wasn't my friend. You're my friend.

Besides, l had to save my partner.

l got this off the lceman.

lt's 500 grand. l'll meet you

at the hospital, and we'll talk about it.

Here, hold this for me.
