we'll forget it happened.

Otherwise, you go to jail.

Eli, give him the gun.

- Erica, it's our protection.

- Please.

Thanks, mister.

Listen, we'll come in here any time we like.

You got that... Pops?

Any time!

The first floor is the worst.

But they come in wherever they want

from the fire escapes.

It's 90 degrees outside.

And I've had my windows nailed shut.

I'll take care of it.

But I'll need some things first.

This is how it works.

I've put a nail in the window.

Anybody opening the window

raises the nail...

- What are you doing?

- Thinning the herd.

Hey... I wanna make a house call, man.

I'm a little short on cash.

For 20 minutes you play.

Then you all go out to work.

- All right! Get up! Go!

- Come on!

- Mr. Bennett, I know you like a lot.

- Yes, I do.

- What are those?

- Teeth.

APB, theft at 121 Sutter.

Suspect is described as Latino,

five foot six. Missing two front teeth.

You thief! Stop!

This Wildey friend of yours,

can he catch this guy?

- Well, who's Wildey?

- You'll see.

Wildey's here.

Fires a.475 Wildey Magnum.

Real stopping power.

Is that like a.44 Magnum?

No, a.44 Magnum is a pistol cartridge.

A.475 Wildey Magnum is a shorter version

of the African big-game cartridge.

Makes a real mess.

Yeah!

What are you two looking at? What are you,

perverts? Get the f*** outta here!

Open the door!

All right, open the door!

OK.

- No! No!

- Let's go! Come on!

Raped her. They raped her!

Bennett, get a taxi.

- Oh, Maria...

- Thanks.

They say she'll be all right.

Just a broken arm.

I'll take you to the hospital.

It'll all be all right.

Baptist Medical Center.

Dr. Applebaum

to the Emergency Room.

The doctor is in here.

- Mr. Rodriguez?

- How's my wife? Can I see her?

Mrs. Rodriguez has expired.

Jesus. Over the phone they told me

she had just a broken arm.

The arm was badly injured.

There were broken blood vessels.

Some clots came free and, we think,

lodged in the heart.

I'm sorry.

The light's no good. No ID you make

is gonna stand up in a court.

- You load the shells yourself?

- Nothing's too good for our friends.

The action of this weapon is adjustable.

Depending on the charge and the cartridge.

Think I'll go down the street

and get myself some ice cream.

This is America, isn't it?

Thanks!

What do I owe you?

Look at that f***er with the ice cream.

Somebody got shot. Who was that man?

Oh, my... It's the creep

that stole my pocketbook!

- All right! All right!

- He's dead! Hey!

Right on! Right on!

They killed The Giggler, man.

They killed The Giggler!

They had no business doing that. None.

It's the new man, the one from the jail.

That wasn't smart. No, not too smart.

Come on, you all, let's move it back.

Make way.

Where you been? It's about time.

I'm glad he's dead!

He took my pocketbook three weeks ago!

I'm glad he's dead!

Cops never get here on time!

- Hi, team.

- Hello, Chief.

What have you got here?

There's not much left

of the sucker, is there?

- How are things around here?

- Better. It's getting quiet.

Our efforts must be having a positive effect.

- We're getting fewer complaints.

- Don't let it go to your head.

Looked like a rifle bullet.

The shot came from over there.

- He was a good shot.

- Better than anyone in our department.

- Hello.

- Hello.

The guy at the store said this wine is good.

Great. I'll open it.

I hope you like chicken.

It's the only thing I can make.

Chicken's good. I like chicken.

I have one sister.

She lives in Binghamton, New York.

And I hate her.

But I love sports.

Basketball and football on TV.

- What do you like?

- I like opera.

- Opera?

- It's restful.

I don't know anything about you.

Married? Children?

- I was married, but my wife died.

- I'm sorry.

It's all right. That was years ago.

What about you?

Am I right? I guess that you're afraid

to be close to someone again.

Oh... maybe.

Do you like the kind of work you do?

Most of the time.

No. Sometimes I feel like

I'm on the wrong side.

Defending... creeps.

Don't take that personally.

You're gentle. But I've seen

a lot of gentle people get hurt.

People have got to fight back, and hard!

The whole thing is just out of balance.

Some people would say

that was an extreme position.

I don't care! I bet you never get mad.

I'm sorry. Why am I angry at you?

Tell me. You don't really like opera, do you?

No.

- It's late. I gotta go.

- No, it's early.

Even an unemployed writer has to work.

I really gotta go.

- Well, see you again?

- Yup.

Cuban's gonna get high.

Go ahead, it's speed.

Yeah, Cuban's gonna get high! High! High!

- No needles, man.

- Just snort it.

I don't want you flat on your ass.

Cuban's gonna kill tonight.

Head him off. Get round back.

He's all yours. Go get him.

Police car to Control.

Request ambulance to 763 Belmont.

We have a dead body out front.

Send the meat wagon to 673 Belmont.

Let's talk.

Try and take it easy

for a couple of days, will you?

Coroner's shop

is going out and hiring extra help.

People are starting to get a line on you.

He isn't finished. It isn't finished.

It's like killing roaches.

You have to kill them all.

- Hi. Is this Mr. Emil?

- Yes. Yes.

I think your wife needs your help.

She's sick or something.

- Who is this? What do you mean?

- Hey, you be nice now.

- You better be here, at home.

- Who is this?

You threw one of my boys

outta your store last week.

It's your wife. She's dying.

- Hello?

- See what you've done? You got me mad.

F*** it.

It's me he wants, you know. How's Emil?

Forget Emil. Emil's done for.

He'll never be the same again.

20 years, nobody ever did a thing

like that to me. Breaking my windows.

Well, I say f*** 'em. I've had it.

Charley said the same thing

and he was right.

He was afraid he was gonna use them.

He should have.

Instead, he gave them to me to keep.

Next time they come,

I've got something for them.

- What?

- I'll show you.

A.30-caliber Browning machine gun.

Charley brought them home from the war.

They still work.

Jesus!

- This ammunition any good?

- Damn right.

You shoot some nice, big holes

in the sons of b*tches.

They call us the old people.

We were running the world 20 years ago.

- What do you say?

- No. A lot of people could get hurt.

It's me he wants.

This is his turf. If I leave, he wins.

- You want that?

- Maybe it'll save people from getting killed.

- Do me a favor, Bennett.

- Name it.

Don't use those guns.

Give me a day to get Fraker.

Whatever you say. I was just trying to help.

Hi. Well, you said it was important.

Thanks for coming. Come on in.

- I'm leaving the city.

- What?

A couple of weeks with my sister. And

I'll do whatever I have to not to be here.

Oh, it's everything.

This place, my job, people I deal with.

I just wanted to see you one more time.

I didn't think you wanted to leave this city.

Do you still think

you don't want to get close to someone?

You know, my wife didn't just die,
