Internal Affairs Page #3

We have a family business.

We manufacture fine floor coverings.

We cover the world.

We're the largest importers

of ceramic tiles in the US.

We import tile from Japan,

France, West Germany, Holland...

Steven.

I run the business.

I've run it for two years.

My parents control the stock,

everything.

They started the company.

They came here with nothing.

They were immigrants.

They did many things I could never

have done and I appreciate that.

But they don't get it.

They won't borrow,

they won't diversify.

They have no idea

how to conduct business today.

We've tried to have them

declared incompetent, but...

But they'd have to be grossly

mismanaging...and they're not.

They're just not bad enough.

I want you to kill

my mother and father.

What?

Rudy said $15,000.

$15,000. Well, I could do it

for $15,000. I could do that.

I could get a couple of gang-bangers

to shoot 'em,

cut their heads off, bury them.

Leave parking tickets

all over the house, names, addresses.

They'd love to talk.

They'll talk about you

and your lovely wife.

What're you saying?

Don't f*** with me! $15,000?

How much do you want?

I'll tell you what'll happen.

You're going to go home

and think about it.

I've thought about it.

Shut up.

And you will call me

in a couple of days.

Nice to meet you, Steven.

- Can I trust you?

- Of course you can trust me.

I'm a cop.

You go home to your wife.

I still gotta pull some files

on Rudy Mohr.

I can do that.

But just be back by 9.00.

- I got a break on the case.

- Great.

Will you close the door? It's cold.

If Peck is handing out extra income

to 40% of the division,

in effect a single officer

can control the division

by pulling favours.

- It's bullshit!

- Why?

Speculation!

Then there's his association

with Rudy Mohr, a convicted felon.

Is it enough for a formal complaint?

No.

Then shut up!

I'm sorry.

But he's the most

productive officer on the force!

Do you want a great cop, who,

at the most, bends it a little bit,

or some straight pistol-ass

who gives diddley,

which this department is full of?

It's not enough

to justify an investigation.

May we get on with it?

OK, so?

It's clear that you're involved

in a pattern of illegal activity.

Now, we know

you're not acting alone, Van.

We're prepared to change

our recommendation of termination,

- if you co-operate.

- How?

You've got to identify the others.

You got to help us obtain

the evidence and testify.

And wear a wire, right?

If necessary.

Do you want to give us a minute?

Can I talk to you?

You're not authorised

to make this deal!

- It's a violation!

- Just look at him.

- He wants to talk.

- I am the senior partner.

Your mistakes go on my file!

Retract the offer to Van or I will.

I've got another idea.

Why don't you and Peck pull them out

and I'll decide which one's bigger?

No deal.

Come on, Van.

Big mistake, Van. Big mistake.

- Do you want some sugar?

- I would like a very little bit.

- That much?

- That's perfect.

Raymond offered me a deal.

Uncle Van doesn't have any tea.

Would you like some sugar?

Would you like some tea?

If I roll over on you, I skate.

You skate?

He doesn't have the authority

to do that.

Don't you understand?

It's just me. I'm all alone!

Look, I got nothing to lose, OK?

I'll put some sugar in hers.

You think I'd wear a wire on you?

Don't you ever threaten me.

Is that enough?

Oh, yes, I love sugar!

You wanted to see me?

Yeah. Thanks for coming. I thought

we should talk about our problem.

Our problem? We have a problem?

Yeah. I don't know how it happened.

We got started on the wrong foot.

Sometimes I come on a little strong.

No hard feelings?

Got a minute?

- Got children?

- No. You?

- Eight.

- Eight?

Yeah. Three by the first marriage,

three by the second,

two by the third,

one from Heather's previous marriage

and number nine's on the way.

- A lot of child support.

- I love kids.

- Do you like 'em?

- Yeah, I like 'em.

Yeah? Don't wait too long to start.

You and your wife OK?

- Yeah.

- Good.

Cos these new couples today,

they get so wound up in their

careers and busy with everything,

their personal life suffers,

you know?

They still do it, but it's like

they have to schedule it.

You don't hug,

you don't kiss, you don't...

You don't do it nice,

fool around like before.

It's such a hurry,

you don't enjoy the p*ssy any more,

and your wife isn't getting off

like she used to.

Maybe she's... No, no, there's

nothing going on you can point to,

but you start wondering.

You're talking about yourself, right?

No. I'm talking about you, Raymond.

- Me?

- Yeah.

Not because I see it in you.

I see it in your wife, in Kathleen.

You see it in my wife?

Yeah. In fact,

I saw her earlier at the museum.

Yeah?

- She has long blonde curly hair?

- Yeah.

She has green eyes.

She had two earrings in her left ear.

Pretty. A bit skinny for me, but

they say skinny ones give good head.

I'll tell you what. I'll f*** her

a while, teach her how to come...

Get up!

They said you were a good boxer.

You are.

- Not ba...not bad!

- Clean yourself up.

Give my best to Kathleen!

Hi.

Hi.

You know how many wives

Dennis Peck has?

Four.

I want to

run complete bank checks on them.

Mortgages, loans, everything!

What do you say?

Please.

And he opens his bag

and takes out a box.

Remember "Belle de Jour"? The box?

Well, he opens this box

and he takes out a paintbrush.

- What? A paintbrush?

- No, a number 6 sable brush.

Oh, God!

I tell you,

this guy is a great painter!

Hi, Raymond.

Hi.

- Night-night.

- Get some sleep.

I will. Good night, Raymond.

So Carlos is a good painter, is he?

Were you listening

to our conversation?

What did May mean by that?

I think she means

that he's not like Peter,

that he takes his time

and makes her feel good...for once.

Sweetheart, you're a good painter.

When you paint.

I guess I should buy a sable brush.

Yours is fine.

You just need to dip it.

- Hello?

- Penny, it's me, Van.

- How are you?

- I'm all right.

I'm gonna talk to Raymond.

I've got to get

all this stuff off my chest.

- Are you still there?

- I'm here. All what stuff?

All the stuff

we've been doing with Dennis.

I mean, I'm on my own now.

They're gonna throw me off

the force!

Raymond'll cut me a deal.

Don't you think

we should talk about this?

Penny, can I come home?

No.

No, Van not now...

I...I got to get up early tomorrow.

I'll take Sean

to my Mom's in the morning, OK?

Van?

Hello?

Don't say anything to anyone

before you see me, OK?

OK?

OK.

I'm really sorry, Penny.

You know...you know I love you.

Me too.

See you.

So, I talked to Chief Healy.

What did he say?

The guy knows you're a good cop.

I told him you're in a programme.

He liked that.

He's a family guy, too, so...

the sooner you and Penny

get back together...

You'll have to take a suspension...

But...

he's gonna overrule

any recommendation to terminate.
