Cop Land Page #3

Go on. Go on

before I kick your ass.

Get on!

Sorry.

How long

you been a sheriff?

- Ten years.

- That's great.

I see there's a lot

of city cops here.

- Oh, yeah. A lot of cops.

- Great gig.

Mm-hmm. I like it.

Well, I don't wanna

waste your time.

Let me give you my card.

It's a special unit

in the city.

If you ever wanna talk

about anything,

it's all confidential.

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Nice to meet ya.

[Jack]

Ray, that f*** Tilden

shows up here with that grin.

Freddy's new girl

pulls us over.

I mean, someone's talkin'.

I say its Figgis.

I mean,

we got some loose ends.

Freddy's my man.

Unfortunately, he's on

the wrong side of the river.

That don't mean

you can't trust me, Ray--

with anything.

I trust you, Freddy.

I trust you to make sure

the kids don't kill themselves

on prom night.

I trust you to suggest

a good opera record

for my sister at Christmas.

I'm serious.

- [Sighs]

- Freddy, when I leave here

everyday....

I trust you with my town.

Maybe I don't trust you

with anything...

but I trust you

with my home and my family...

and, to me,

that's everything.

- [Knocking At Door]

- ##[Girl Singing]

[Woman]

Im sorry. Oh.

-Jesus, I'm sorry.

- Oh, it's okay. I heard voices.

I was gonna have the base

call you back anyway.

- Freddy! Look what you found.

- Mm-hmm.

She's gonna be so happy.

Her daddy won it for her

at the fair last year.

- And I left it on top of the car.

- I know. I saw from my window.

It's awful

about Ray's nephew.

Mmm.

What happened

to your nose?

Ah, little accident.

I was chasing a speeder.

[Girl]

Mommy, I need some black!

Oh, shh.

Look what the sheriff found.

Remember how you were

crying for that today?

Freddy, do you want

some coffee?

Um, no, I'm fine.

Thanks, Liz.

- I got a little bit on me.

- [Liz] Yeah, you got a

little bit on you, didnt you?

Come here. Okay.

All right. You know what?

I have to get something

to clean this off of you.

Okay. We got it off

both hands.

Isn't that nice?

I'm gonna go get

a washcloth. Okay?

All right.

You just draw a rainbow.

Enough with the sparkles.

[Liz]

I'll be right back.

All right?

[Sighs]

Well.

I was gonna call you.

Not you.

One of your guys.

- Why? What's up?

- Oh!

Someone's

been dumping garbage,

garbage bags.

Uh-huh.

Is that them?

Just one of them.

The rest are mine.

I don't tell Joey,

'cause then he thinks

he's got to deal with it.

Not that he doesn't think

much of the local--

about you guys.

I'll take care of it.

It's okay.

He's got the city

to worry about, right?

Anyway--

[Woman]

What's the point with

the black garbage bag?

[Freddy] Its just I found

your phone bill in a black

garbage bag down the street.

So, what if I said

I didn't know

where it came from?

I'd take your word

for it, Rose.

- Is Ray home?

- No. He's taking care

of our little visitor.

- My garbage gets picked up

every Tuesday.

- All right.

Well, thanks for your time,

Rose.

You tell Joey that he should

come and talk to me...

if he thinks

I got no right.

Rose, I wanna believe you

when you tell me something.

Did you dump these bags or not?

Freddy, this isn't

a law problem. Okay?

You tell Joey Randone

if he does not like my garbage...

well, then, he should stop

soiling my sheets.

You gonna tell Ray

about this?

[Car Horn Honking]

- Hey, Ray.

- What's up, Freddy?

- Decided to give me that ticket?

- No.

- Somebody's been dumping garbage.

- Oh... a felony!

- [Man] What's wrong, Officer?

- Could I see your license

and registration, please?

- I was just asking--

- We just came to get a view of the city.

- [Woman] I don't believe this.

- [Man] Itll be alright.

Theyre just a couple over.

I'm checking docs.

- I'll sit.

- [Officer] All right, roger that.

[Brakes Squealing]

- This ass mother f***ing pig.

- We came here to watch the view!

- And you pull this?

- Speeding? My ass! Goddamn.

Do you know the meaning

of the word harassment?

That's what this is, you know.

- [Liz]It was Rose, wasnt it?

- [Freddy] Liz...

if you want me to,

I'll talk to 'im.

[Liz Sighs]

Ah, why?

You didn't marry him.

No.

But I'm your friend.

[Sighs]

Freddy, look,

I gotta go.

[Man]

And let me be clear.

It was the system that drove

Murray "Superboy" Babitch

off that bridge.

Murray Babitch was a hero cop.

He deserved a fair hearing,

but he knew this would

not happen, not in this city.

[Man]

Activist Cyril Johns met

the parents of the slain teens...

calling for a human blockade

on the bridge tomorrow.

A drunk cop jumps off a bridge.

That does not erase the murder

of two black children.

Attending the Yankee game,

Mayor Farelli

responded to reports...

- of cops attempting to plant

evidence on the bridge.

- Shh. Shh.

We are looking into it.

There may have been

some irregularity on the bridge.

- But as I say--

- Your mother's an irregularity.

No more comments, please.

I'm here to enjoy the ball game

with my wife. Thank you.

- [Laughing]

- Oh, that's your boss. Are you kidding?

-You'll never get

another raise in your life.

- Who's gonna tell?

- Diagonal rule.

- Hmm?

Diagonal rule.

Red light, don't fight.

You make a right.

It's more important

than the golden rule.

- If Superboy knew that,

he'd still be alive, Freddy.

- Yo! Yo, yo.

Freddy, I heard you saved

Ollie the turtle today.

- What happened to your nose?

- Ah, nothing.

I just had a little accident.

Listen, Joey, there's something

we should probably talk about

if youve got some time.

-What?

- Something we should--

If you have a few minutes.

Pretty boy Joey

bettin' against the Bulls.

What is that?

What, are you some kind

of high roller?

- F*** you, Figgs. I had 1 2 points.

- Against the 5-time NBA champs?

What kind of bet is that?

You know, you night guys...

you watch way too much Oprah

when you should be catching

your "Z's."

Uh-huh, Figgs, well

at least I'm not the one

sniffin' my money away.

That was your inner child

making that wager, Joey.

Little boy Joey

with the little Met poster

taped above his bed.

Tell you what, Figgs,

why don't you do me a favor.

Come on over here, unzip me,

pull out my inner child

and take a bite, baby.

Bite it hard

and bite it thick.

- F*** you!

- No, f*** you!

Dumb f*** like that P.D.

How's that make you feel,

Freddy?

I don't care.

Yeah?

You like eatin' doughnuts?

Look, Freddy.

I say it's okay to be jealous.

You saved this girl's life,

right?

From it, from risking yourself

from saving her sorry ass,

you go deaf as a result.

- In one ear.

- In one ear.

Then you have to watch

as this girl you saved,

this beauty queen...

marries this cocksucker!

And you, with your ear,

you can't even get

a desk on the force.

You're f***ed.

Be jealous, Freddy!

Let it out.

I would.

Purge! Cleanse yourself.

F***ing cleansing.

Del, Del, let me have

another beer.

I gotta go, Freddy.

School's in session.

See you later.

[Figgis]
