Ray's outside

waitin' for ya.

- You comin' or what?

- I'm comin', I'm comin'.

That was

a great party, Ray.

You know, Ray,

it's a really great thing

you did.

Makin' a place where everybody

could stick together.

[Murray]

I mean...

you know I know you didn't

have to do this for me.

You couldve just--

I just--

I wanna let you know

I appreciate it.

I really do.

- Everyone's gone.

-Just us, buddy.

That's it.

I always said to my mom,

"Uncle Ray doesn't like me,

but--"

I always liked you,

Murray.

You just sweat

too much.

- Hey, what's doin'?

- Hey, Superboy.

So what are we gonna do now?

I'm gonna go meet some people?

How does this work?

I've got all my bags packed

and everything, Ray.

Just I'm a little buzzed.

You know, maybe we could

do this tomorrow or something.

I'm really tired, Ray.

- Wheres Joey?

- He's working tonight, kid.

Yeah?

Sorry it came out this way,

Murray.

Ah, it's not that bad, Jack.

Yeah, it is, Murray.

[Gunshots]

- F***!

- [Joey] What the f***

is going on here?

What is this?

What are you doin'?

What are you doin', huh?

- Stay outta this.

- What the f*** is this?

Ray, you said P.D.A. was gonna

set him up with a new life.

You think I'm all that,

Joey?

Ah, f*** it.

Put your files in there.

We're done.

It's over.

- Moe--

- We were shut down by the mayor. Here.

- What the f*** is this?

- Put your files in there.

The case is closed.

Reuben, what are you doin'?

What are you doin'?

- I'm on hold with the

phone company.

- Is that the Garrison file?

Is that a Garrison file?

Give me your Garrison files.

Give me the Garrison files.

- Give me it all. Give me it all.

- All right, all right.

Is that more?

I'll take everything.

The case is closed.

The case is f***ing closed!

Closed!

The case is closed, finished,

over!

- Go to lunch.

- I, uh--

Go to lunch!

Go!

Hey, go to lunch.

Go to lunch!

The case is closed. Everybody,

get the f*** outta here.

Get outta here!

The case is f***ing closed!

[Radio]

With community leaders

and pundits crying "Cover-up,"

Mayor Farelli's suspension

of the Babitch case

is a big gamble...

No one's going to read this.

Its just a bunch of red tape.

- [Groans]

- She's going to f*** up

my insurance claim.

[Cindy]

Dont pull the paper

out of the thing.

- Here's your coffee.

- Okay, Cin, please let's try it his way.

I'm tellin' you,

you don't need

to do this.

It's just a bunch

of bullshit.

[Joey]

What do you want?

Are you gonna help us

or not?

Help you help what?

Help Ray here find him?

Help Ray finish cleaning up

his goddamn pool

with the guy's head?

Is that it?

Huh, Mr. Humanitarian?

You got something

you wanna say to me, Ray?

Or is this about something

a little more personal?

I'm on at 1 0:
00.

I'm outta here.

We all are.

We got another hour.

Hey, come on, Joey.

Instead of taking cop lessons

from a cokehead...

maybe you should be lookin'

at that fire, you know?

My girl over at Chase says Figgs

is missing a few payments.

Where were you that night,

Jack?

I had nothin' to do

with it.

That would be retribution.

And that I leave

to God Almighty.

I'm Gandhi.

[Figgis]

I'm tellin' ya, the mob built

this town for Ray...

so they could own

a f***in' precinct.

He's a deep and dark

motherfuck.

What youre feelin'

right now, Freddy...

friendless, angry,

nervous, misunderstood...

this is it,

this is the life.

You're lucky your ear

kept you off the force.

You know...

if I saw Liz...

drowning in the water--

If I saw that today...

I wouldn't go in.

Id stand there,

and I'd think about it.

And that's the best thing

I ever did with my life.

- So?

- So?

So you wanna sit around

your whole life wishing

you were on the force?

Or do you wanna bring

the f*ggot in?

Let him spill.

I wouldn't know where

to begin.

All right.

Brother's in deep sh*t.

He's down, he's bleeding,

and you gotta get there.

But there's lights, right?

All over the city, red lights.

You go through

the red lights.

Sure, you fire up the roof,

you wail, you go through

the red lights, but that's slow...

fighting your way

through traffic.

The goal is

perpetual motion.

You want greens.

But how do you ensure

the greens?

You can't.

As in life, in traffic.

So what you do

is you leave yourself an out.

At every corner you leave

yourself an alternative.

You move diagonal.

You turn the wheel

when you hit a red light.

You don't drive

down Broadway

to get to Broadway.

If you move diagonal,

you're gonna get

perpetual motion.

That's what you want.

But how does this apply to what

you were saying in there?

It applies, Freddy!

It's just as easy to tail a man

walking in front of him.

Now, you butt heads with these

friends of ours, you're gonna

come at them head-on?

- Okay.

- They got lives, Freddy.

Families.

No.

You move diagonal.

You jag.

[Man]Ah, Christ!

Where the f***

are you guys?

[Officer On Radio]

We're on our way--

in 20.

I'm down. But, but Joey,

he's tryin' to hold on...

but this big bastard,

he cut me up.

Stay cool, Tom.

I need your location.

- Agh! He's a f***ing monster!

- I need your location!

- I need an assist.

- I can't move.

I think he cut my tendon.

- You got a wife, huh?

Huh? You got a baby?

- [Groans]

Quit!

Tell me you quit.

I'll let you go.

You go home.

Kiss your wife.

Eat your baby's

Fruit Loops and sh*t.

You thank me, motherf***er,

you're gonna be redeemed.

Re-re-redeemed...

Officer... Randone.

[Sirens Wailing]

[Sirens Wailing,

Tires Screeching]

Sh*t!

- Motherf***er!

- Sh*t.

[Siren Wailing]

[People Shouting]

It's the roof, Jack.

You got units sent in.

All right,

I'll check the front.

[Grunting]

Come on, come on.

Son of a b*tch!

Agh! Agh!

Please.

[Yelling]

[Grunting, Shouts]

[Joey]

Help! Help!

[Joey Groaning,

Shouting]

No! No! No!

[Joey]

No!

In here!

Joey's in trouble,

Ray.

Ray, lets just break

the f***in' thing down.

Got it.

[Woman Yelling

In Spanish]

[Yelling Continues]

[Yelling In Spanish

[Panting]

His father is serving

a life sentence for murder,

murdering an ex-girlfriend...

- with a sawed-off shotgun back in 1988.

- [Knocking At Door]

- [Knocking Continue]

- The New York Times is quoting

one friend of Royster saying...

that the guy had

an I.Q. of160.

[Mouthing Words]

I need your help.

They're tryin'

to kill me.

- Who?

- Who?

My friends

tried to kill me.

Ray Donlan...

tried to kill me.

Sh*t!

Holy sh*t!

Speak of the devil!

[Panting]

Freddy, forget it.

[Panting]

I don't get this.

This doesn't make

any sense.

Why'd they get Superboy

off the bridge...

bring him back here

and kill him?

[Panting]

Ray had a plan...

and it got

very f***ed up.

[Figgis]

You awake, Freddy?

[Figgis Coughing]

Aw, I feel like sh*t.

F***in' allergy

that's killin' me.

Hey.

certain hope of the resurrection
