Cop Land Page #4

He bets against the Bulls.

[Ray]

No one wants to get involved

in your personal life, Gary.

But just because youre

undercover now, that don't mean

people aren't watchin' you.

[Figgis]

Wh-What's going on here?

This is f***ing bullshit.

This is bullshit.

What is this, omerta?

Huh?

Listen, if I.A.'s gonna

f***ing hang me by the balls...

it ain't gonna be over

some f***ing missing evidence.

[Frank]

Figgsy, you've been a cop

It's not a white socks

violation, babe.

Come on! You bought that big

ol' house. Maybe you're tryin'

to get out from under.

- Hey! Jack.

- What the f***'s up your ass?

You're telling me youre gettin'

by without gravy, any of you?

[Figgis] Listen to me.

I was putting out Ray's fires

when you were still suckin'...

on your mama's titties,

so just back the f*** off,

all right?

So you want to toss me?

What? You can't--

- Sit down, Gary.

- No! Tell me what's going on!

- This is bullshit!

- Even better, why dont you

get the f*** out?

F*** you, you f***ing child.

Just back the f*** off.

At least I'm not shackin'

with no reekin' whore.

You're supposed to f*** 'em,

Gary, not open up

a methadone clinic.

[Laughing]

- Figgis, get the hell off of me!

- Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, Figgis, come on.

That's too much now.

Hey, hey, hey!

-[Ray] Gary.

-[Gary] F*** you.

You got a problem with me

helpin' a girl in trouble, huh?

- Figgsy.

- You have a problem with that?

- Huh?

- No, you're a f***in' humanitarian!

- Come here, come here. You think

you're so f***in' bad, huh?

- Oh, God!

Come on. Come here.

You see this?

Look at Tunney.

You see him?

- That was my f***in' partner.

That was a cop!

- [Ray]Enough!

Let go of him, Figgsy.

[Ray]

Go home.

You all right, Jack?

Don't shut me out, Ray!

You found us a sweet

little town. You got us the

low interest, and I'm grateful.

But don't forget who it was

that you came to two years ago

to cover your ass.

Get him outta here, Freddy.

- Come on.

- It's not my fault

that you can't look at him!

You sit in this chair...

with your back to 'im.

You want it to go away,

but I'm still here.

[Figgis]

In for a penny, in for a pound.

Don't shut me out, Ray.

I'll take care of it,

Ray.

It's bullshit.

I'm gettin' the f***

outta this town!

[Dog Barking]

- [Joey]Open the door.

- [Liz] You wanna play games?

I don't play games.

I want the door op--

I want-- I want--

- [Joey] Open it now!

- [Dog Barking]

- Shut up!

- [Liz]

Why don't you go up the street

and get into bed with Rosie?

- Liz, open the goddamn door now!

- [Liz] Idiot!

Open it... now!

Freddy, go home.

Everything is just hunky-dory.

Please go.

- Mind if we check up

on Liz?

- Yes, I do. I mind.

I said I mind, Freddy.

- [Liz]Joey, I've had it, okay?

- I'll get the kit.

Liz, it's Freddy.

[Joey]

Does Ray know?

Freddy, does Ray know?

- Hi, Freddy.

- Are you okay?

Your Uncle Freddy is here

to rescue you again.

[Girl Crying]

[Joey Slams Door]

Liz, maybe you and the baby

need a place to stay.

Let him cool off.

I could take you over

to the Ramada.

Do you want me to do that?

He didn't do anything.

I... hit him with a bottle.

[Crying Continues]

[Record]

#When I lost you, honey #

#Sometimes I think

I lost my guts too #

# Yeah, I wish God

would send you a word#

#Send me something

I'm afraid##

[Car Horn Honking]

- Freddy?

- [Honking Continues]

- Freddy!

- [Sirens Wailing]

[Sirens Wailing]

His girlfriend

was in the basement.

- So where is Figgs?

- I called him at the precinct.

He's on his way.

Oh.

[Coughing]

We got no pressure.

I wonder if there's still water

in that tower over there.

[Medic]

Monica, can you hear me?

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Monica!

Baby, what were

you doin' in there?

Hey! I came back

to see you.

I need--

I needed some--

Wanted...

to see you...

but you weren't there.

I was workin'.

I was workin'.

[Gasping]

Monica!

No, baby.

Oh, my God.

[Sobbing]

- The f***er's gettin' payback.

- Who is?

[Figgis]

Ray. Who do you think?

Lenny said it wasnt suspicious.

He said it was electrical.

[Ray]

Figgsy?

Look at me, Figgsy.

Did you call in?

I'm not on till Tuesday.

I'll call in.

Buy you a couple weeks.

[Telephone Ringing]

[Ringing Continues]

Dispatch.

Uh-huh.

Well, tell them they can't.

Just because

theyre TV people...

it doesn't mean they can

park on your lawn.

[TV Newscaster]

In a cemetery

practically reserved for cops...

you come across the tombstone

of Officer Glenn Tunney.

You may recall his case.

He was murdered in his jail cell

awaiting the grand jury.

Two years later,

deja vu.

Another hero cop,

Murray Babitch is his name,

dubbed "Superboy,"

unwilling to trust the system

that destroyed his friend...

jumps from

the George Washington Bridge.

##[Bagpipes]

- Freddy.

- How ya doin'?

Freddy.

Maybe we should

go up there.

Freddy. Freddy?

I want you to meet

the head of the

Patrolman's Defense Association.

Great.

Vincent.

Vincent Lassaro,

I'd like you to meet

Sheriff Freddy Heflin.

- You did a good job here.

You did a great job.

Real nice.

- Thank you.

- Freddy's a hell of a guy.

- [Vince]Good, great.

He was trying to get

on the force, but he had

this problem with his ear.

- You're not a lip reader, are ya?

- No, no.

It's just this one ear when

I was a kid I had this accident.

You should call me.

I mean, when Ray Donlan

puts his thumb in the air--

It's not the force,

but I got my own people.

Call me.

Is he serious?

Freddy, my boy,

that is how things happen.

See you later.

"Eternal God, our Father,

the Lord of our life and death...

we acknowledge Thee in all

our ways and in all events

which befall us."

What's in the coffin?

His uniform.

"Then in Thy great mercy,

grant us a safe lodging

and a holy rest.

And peace at last

through Jesus Christ,

our Lord. "

Amen.

Unto God's gracious mercy

and protection, we commit you.

The Lord bless you

and keep you.

The Lord make His face

to shine upon you,

and be gracious unto you.

The Lord lift up His countenance

upon you and give you peace...

both now and forevermore.

Amen.

[Sighing]

Psst.

Hi, Sheriff.

How you doin'?

How you doin'?

This is Detective Carson.

- How's it goin'?

- Come on in. It's your office.

[Carson] That there is

Manny Cardoza and his brother.

They're drug runners.

Hmph. I didn't know

they allowed classical music

in Jersey.

Who's this?

Toy Torillo.

You heard of him?

- Oh, yes.

- [Moe] Hmm.

I don't know how you do it,

Sheriff.

Keeping all these Hessians

in line.

All blue.

Everybody packing.

All together.

One door

down from the next.

The wives borrowing

the sugar.

It's like you're the sheriff

of Copland.

- Hmm.

- [Carson] Look at this.

Hmm.

[Moe]

You see, Sheriff,

I got a sticky problem.

My jurisdiction ends,

in a sense,

at the George Washington Bridge.

But half the men I watch

live beyond that bridge...

where no one's watching.

I'm watching.

I can see that.
