Cop Page #8

Yeah, I remember him. I didn't know him.

There's nothing

I can tell you about this man.

Okay, that's all right.

You'll do the best you can. How about...

Dennison, first name, Earl.

Right here.

Yes, I remember him.

- Dennis the Menace.

- Menace?

To all the other schools.

Okay? He was a star athlete.

Seems like all he did was sports.

You didn't know him?

The athletes liked the cheerleader types.

How about Franco?

First name, Robert.

What about Franco?

I remember him.

What? What did she say?

I want to see the two of you. Right away.

Yes, sir.

Look, we've just got three more names.

You see everything that's circled in red.

You can see that and what's covered there.

Write down anything

you remember about them.

Take all the time you need.

We'll be right back.

Just take a minute.

- How'd I do?

- Terrific. Nice, light touch.

Let's see what he wants.

My business is with Hopkins.

But since you seem to have a protective

interest in this troublemaker...

you'd better hear this, too.

Hopkins, this the only time

I'm actually pleased...

you've shown up where you don't belong.

Because now I can hear first-hand

your explanation of this.

Christ! He must've been in the house

the whole time.

- Who?

- The killer.

Who do you think took this picture?

What I wanna know is

what were you doing there?

What was I doing there?

What the f*** does it look like

I was doing there?

Come on, Dutch, we're wasting time.

Look, let me finish up in there, and...

You've already finished in there. As a matter

of fact, you've finished everywhere.

If Dutch weren't here to vouch for you,

I'd have you taken into custody right now.

As it is, there's going to be a hearing

to determine if you're to be brought up...

on criminal charges on a

half-dozen different beefs...

including killing a fellow officer.

Is that all?

I'll take your badge and I'll take your gun.

I'll take your word that he'll no longer

interfere with the investigation...

and be available for the hearing.

- You got it.

- Okay.

- That's all.

- Thank you.

This is shocking.

Sh*t.

- Hello.

- Hello?

Is this Bobby Franco?

Yes, it is.

Thank God I reached you.

You may not remember me, but...

my name is Kathleen McCan'thy

from Daniel Webster High School.

- I remember you well, Kathleen.

- You do?

You may not believe this, but...

there's this crazy policeman...

who's got your name

on a list of suspects that...

he thinks is a mass murderer.

Why would he think that?

I don't know.

He's got some insane ideas of...

But when he finds out

that you were a poet...

and that you were on the poetry review

with me...

he'll come after you. He'll swear it's you.

He's gonna hurt you.

What's his name?

Sergeant Lloyd Hopkins.

Okay, you've heard my name,

now tell me yours.

What's in a name, Hopkins?

- Did you get my message?

- Yes, I got your message.

I've also got Kathleen McCan'thy.

Now, she can tell me your name, what is it?

Don't hurt her.

Don't hurt anyone else.

Let her go, Hopkins.

She's not like all the rest.

What? Are you talking to deal?

Just let her go.

- Then what?

- Then we just got you and me.

That's the kind of deal I like.

- You pick the time and the place, homeboy.

- How about a reunion?

- Webster High in an hour.

- You got it.

Why would you do that?

I thought he was innocent.

I thought you would persecute

what I thought was a...

- talented and sensitive boy. I'm sorry.

- It's okay.

It's okay.

Just get back in there

and give Dutch his name...

in case he doesn't show up.

You're gonna kill him, aren't you?

I don't know.

Maybe this time you'll get to send him

the flowers.

What're you doing up there?

The class is down here.

Looks like you didn't do your homework,

Sergeant.

A sawed-off shotgun

won't cut it from up there.

Don't even think about it.

Get up.

Well?

Well, what?

Aren't you going to read me my rights?

Cuff me? Take me into custody?

Why, so you can sit

in a nice comfortable cell?

Let your smart-ass lawyer

cop an insanity plea, is that the idea?

What's it to you, Hopkins?

You're a cop. You've got to take me in.

There's some good news,

and there's some bad news.

The good news is, you're right, I'm a cop

and I got to take you in.

The bad news is I've been suspended,

and I don't give a f***.
