What've you got for me?

This is Boat 4.

I'm here with Boat 5.

We got nothing.

It's quiet.

Quiet as a church.

Pretty, too.

That son of a gun

disappeared into thin air.

This if Officer Talmadge

in Boat number 5.

That ain't no ordinary

boat he's got there.

Got some kind of damn rocket on it.

Oh, sh*t!

Boat 6, come in.

What have you got for me, Boat 6?

This is Boat 6.

Boat 9, come in.

Can anybody hear me up there?

This is the chopper. We got him spotted.

We got him! Damn it, we got him now!

I'm bringing him in!

Chopper, sit down on him!

Do what?

Sit down on him!

Doesn't anybody up there speak English?

Can't you read my lips?

We'll have him in the

chopper in a second.

Oh, my God, he's getting away!

After him, Bo!

What the hell's going on?

Have you got him, or not?

We temporarily lost him.

10...

come in.

It sounds like old Gator's coming.

I guess I better wake up.

Seeing as it's 9:00,

I'll keep on walking.

Fish ain't biting on this side.

Oh, Lord.

That's some Gator!

Come in, chopper!

Don't tell me!

- Sounds like he got the chopper.

- Shut up!

Oh, my God!

That's Gator McKlusky!

Damn rifle!

Gator McKlusky, you're under arrest!

Later.

It's a nice swamp you got here.

Where are they?

We got them.

My name's Irving Greenfield.

You thinking about putting up

some condominiums out here?

I don't find that very funny at all.

- What do you want?

- Some time.

I just did some time.

I know, twice.

- You bet your ass I did.

- Oh, no.

You bet yours.

In fact, you did bet

it twice, and you lost.

What do you want?

Bama McCall.

- Bama McCall?

- Yeah.

I never heard of him.

He's having quite a time in Dunston

County. Prostitution, extortion, bribery.

What makes you think I'm gonna

help you nail Bama McCall?

If you don't want your old man

in jail for moonshining...

and your little girl to be shuttling around

from one foster home to another, you will.

- You think you got me by the short hairs?

- I do.

It's incredible what this

guy's got going for him.

$20,000 in back taxes.

That's all we can prove,

but that's just minor.

But we could use it to put

him out of commission.

- Get the picture?

- I get the picture.

How do I know all that crap

down on that paper is true?

Look, if he's clean, you can prove it.

If he's not...

here's your chance to find out.

Come here.

I'll be back before you

even know I'm gone.

Don't let Granddad sass you, hear?

I won't.

- Good-bye.

- Bye, Daddy.

I'll take over.

You drive.

- Why am I driving?

- I don't drive.

- You don't drive?

- No.

When you're from New York,

you don't drive.

That makes sense. I guess if

you're from Boston, you don't fart.

$3, please.

What's your name, killer?

- Cornelia.

- I like that.

You're new here, ain't you?

I'm new. We've got a new bouncer, too.

That's partly why I'm here.

What's a pretty little thing like

you doing in a joint like this?

- I was Miss Palatka, 1973.

- Wonderful.

Miss Palatka, I wish

you'd do me a favor.

I wish you'd go back there

and tell Mr. Donahue...

that Bama McCall is out

here about the insurance.

Hello, operator, give me the police.

Bama McCall. Insurance.

I can remember that.

- I'll tell him.

- Thank you.

Now we're gonna take a five-minute break

so the girls have a chance to go potty...

and have a little drink.

- You must be the new bouncer.

- Yeah.

Son, you're a healthy-looking mother.

Look at them arms!

- Little warm, ain't it?

- Yeah.

My name is Bama McCall.

And I don't usually come by

here to make collections...

but I just wanted to come by...

and say hello.

Good-bye!

Hello, ladies.

Donahue, that's a couple pretty

good bouncers you got there.

I just bounced one off of the wall

and one through the window for you.

That's a good one, Mr. McCall.

But I'm only the manager here.

The people in Detroit own the club.

And they have to have authorization

for anything they pay out.

You know what?

This damn place is a firetrap.

I called them and said you said that.

Are you telling me that your

associates up in Detroit...

are all that inconsiderate?

Is that what you're telling me?

That's a shame!

I could call them back.

I could call them back right now!

We better be getting on over

to the Southside Shuffle.

Can't you see I'm eating my supper?

Look at this. I'm riding with a nut named

Gator, looking for a putz named Bama!

Don't you people have regular names?

You mean intelligent names,

like you've got in New York City?

Like "Yogi"?

I know. Cute.

Do you have to drive so fast?

I don't get a chance

like this very often.

A cop stops me,

I just flash him my badge.

What badge?

Your badge.

- We're undercover men, goddamn it!

- Oh, sh*t! Undercover.

You, undercover in Dunston.

You're gonna stick out in Dunston,

like a bagel in a bucket of grits.

- Mighty pretty city.

- Is that Dunston?

No, it's Newark.

- I think I'm losing control.

- Why?

I'm beginning to think you're funny.

Yours is a little lumpy,

but mine doesn't look too bad.

Yours doesn't look too bad?

That's pretty funny.

Almost as funny as Newark.

Pretty lumpy? I'd have to be crazy.

On the other hand, I don't know.

What's going on?

- This is where you're staying.

- Why?

You're undercover, aren't you?

Nobody'd look for you in

a crappy place like this.

Where are you gonna stay?

You didn't expect me to

stay in a dump like this?

Come on!

Hey, folks, here comes the

Dunston High School band.

We won, didn't we, folks?

Chief Billy Joe Williams and

the police department...

made out a donation for the campaign.

Now, folks, you like what we got

going in Dunston, don't you?

Do you folks...

Do you know the difference between

Uncle Sam, a rooster and an old maid?

Uncle Sam says, "Yankee-doodle-do,"

the rooster says, "Cock-a-doodle-do"...

and an old maid says,

"Any-old-dude'll-do."

When that TV camera starts showing us,

I want you all to show your best...

'cause you got the best.

And we're gonna have the best

city south of Baltimore!

Who in the hell gives a damn

what's north of Baltimore?

Hey, you tyke there,

come down here, sweetie!

Miss Cavanaugh, you're welcome to stay,

as long as you don't make a disturbance.

We can't have you interfering

with the festivities...

with all your yelling

and your screaming.

Now I'm gonna have to

escort you out of the park.

Patrick McGinnin, I have known you

since you were 11 years old...

and you were a sweet young man...

and your father a Catholic priest.

- Baptist minister.

- Right.

I still think you're

a sweet young man...

but you are not escorting me anywhere.

Sorry.

Look, Miss Cavanaugh,

I don't want to have to arrest you.

Patrick, you must understand

that I'm not hitting you.

I am hitting Mayor Caffrey

and all his corruption.

And here's another blow for freedom.

And what about unemployment?

What's Caffrey gonna do about that?

What's he gonna do about the

poor and underprivileged?

You stick me in the eye with that sign,
