Kuffs Page #2

I want to talk

to Kuffs alone.

He may be guilty, kid, but

guilt's what I can prove. I'm sorry.

The hospital just called.

Brad's dead.

Jes...

Are you sure?

Yeah.

I pulled your brother's file.

He left you his district.

That means that you now own

the right, along with the police,...

to protect and serve

the citizens of District 33.

And you have the right

to solicit funds for those services.

You own Brad's district.

You can do what you want with it...

rent it, lease it, sell it.

You don't have to tell me

right away, but soon.

I'm sorry.

He was a good man.

Hello?

Hello.

George.

George, is this you?

George?

Look, George, if this is you,

I don't want to talk to you.

George, is this you?

Where are you?

You okay?

George?

Well, "broski," this is

the nicest spot I could find you.

I don't believe

what happened.

They, uh... They caught

the son of a b*tch that killed you.

Then they let him go.

I have no idea

what to do about that.

I don't think I, uh,

ever really told you this

while you were alive, but...

I love you.

Excuse me.

Mr. Kuffs?

They told me

I'd find you here.

My name

is Sam Jones.

Hi.

I know this might not

be the right time...

and please don't think

badly of me...

but I understand your brother

left you his district.

Yeah, he did.

I want you to consider

selling it to me.

Since you're not in the field

of law enforcement,

this could be a great opportunity

for both of us...

you to make some money,

and me,

I get to put a good, strong man

in your brother's position.

I'll give you

$100,000 now...

and $1,000 a month

for the next two years.

That's it. That's my spiel.

Yeah, that, uh,

sounds wonderful,...

but could you give me

some time to think it over?

I wouldn't expect anything less.

Here's my card.

It has my home number

on there. Call me anytime.

I'll be expecting your call.

Sorry about your brother.

Have a nice day.

You sure have to make

serious choices in life, don't you?

Patrol Special.

Hey, Harriet.

Nikki, Mr. Brown

is on line two.

I'm busy.

Not bad.

You're three weeks

late again, Mr. Brown.

Hiya, kid. Just the man

I wanted to see.

Can I buy you a free cup of coffee?

Show me the way, Bill.

I'm not quite sure exactly

what's going on here.

We should start talking about

how much you want for the business.

I have a little saved up.

I can get some from...

my mother.

I'm sure the bank

would lend me the rest.

Well, uh, that's very nice

of you, Bill, but, uh,...

believe it or not, I've decided

to take the job myself.

Come again?

I'm gonna be your boss, Bill.

You're gonna what, kid?

He's a kid. Even if he

becomes a patrol special,...

he doesn't have the experience

to run a district.

I do not want to hear "kid"

from this guy ever again.

I am not a kid!

Calm down.

Kid, kid, kid.

Would you tell him that, please?

He's not a kid.

Brad said I could go to the academy during the day

and patrol with somebody at night.

That's what I'm gonna do.

I spoke to the lawyer from the D.A.'s office.

He said the district's mine.

I'm taking it.

Has he ever been convicted

of a felony? I'll bet he has.

Shut up, Bill!

Have you?

No.

Did you graduate high school?

Yes.

You have to go through the academy.

I know, I know.

He's gonna have to get his hair cut,

put on a uniform and get rid of that attitude!

I'm only gonna stick around until

I clean up the neighborhood.

Look, Kuffs...

That's the least I can do for my brother.

Oh, God damn it.

Why me? I...

Bill, this is his district.

There's nothing I can do about that.

You think you've won?

Think again!

Look, I understand

how you feel.

Will you understand that

I don't want you here either?

I heard about

Sam Jones's offer.

If you don't want to sell to Bill, fine.

Take that. It's a great offer.

You don't know

what you're getting into.

Captain, trust me.

I... I can handle this.

Sure, and I just heard

turds can fly.

Hear me.

The first time you screw up

in any way...

or if I catch you

going after Kane,

you're out of business.

Court is now in session.

Well, it's good to know

I have a loyal support team.

What he doesn't realize is the first time

I screw up, I'll probably be dead.

Oh, God!

Thank God

this is only temporary.

Imagine getting up at 5:00 in the morning

for the rest of your life?

It's worse than

nine-to-five.

At least I still have you.

Old Reliable. Oh!

This is only part of it.

Wait until you see the uniform.

It's beautiful.

Well, what do

you think, huh?

Even comes with a, uh,

matching hat.

Feel like a dork.

Let's go!

Come on!

Come on!

Sir.

Why are we doing so much running?

Aren't we all going to be in cars?

Move it, a**hole!

Move it!

Move it! Move it!

This might have been

a terrible mistake.

Can I help you?

Yeah.

I'm looking for a really big gun

that holds a lot of bullets.

God bless you, young man.

I always wanted a gun.

Is this what you had in mind?

It's a 9-millimeter

Beretta.

Fifteen in the clip,

one in the pipe.

Is there one that holds more?

No.

I'll take two.

You probably won't hit anything.

That's what I'm here for.

All right.

Where'd you learn

to shoot like that?

Never shot a gun

before in my life.

You're a natural, kid.

Really? Is there such a thing

as being a natural at shooting?

You betcha.

You mean I have talent?

At shooting. Let's see

if you can do that again.

Let me have

another target.

At the start of your shift,

you report here and you sign the log book.

Right. At the end of your shift, you

come back and you sign out...

if you don't get killed.

Hey, Nikki, did you happen to get

that address on Kane I asked for?

Oh, yeah. Here.

It was in the book.

Eh! Killer in the phone book...

never would've thought of that.

I don't know if you should

go gunning for Kane on your first night.

I'm not gunning for him.

I'm just gonna swing by

and see what he's up to.

It's out of our district, George.

It's all right. I can afford

the gas. What's next?

Okay. You read

the reports of the day.

Then you check the Teletype,

then the reports of incidents.

Any ques...

Kuffs!

This is Ted Bukovsky. He'll be riding around

with you the next couple weeks.

Nikki, you can go home.

Wait one minute,

Nikki.

Captain?

May I talk to you

for a moment? Sure.

Listen, you're really undermining

my confidence here...

right in front

of one of my employees.

How the hell do you expect me to develop

leadership abilities...

and learn how to make decisions on my own

if I have a chaperone like Ted around?

Who gives a sh*t?

Oh.

Well, I can't afford him.

I went through the books last night.

My brother was living month to month.

I'm almost broke here.

No. I went through the books too.

You are broke.

A lot of people dropped the service

when you took over.

You got a week and a half,

two weeks tops. Then you're gone.

You're history, and no lawyer

in the world can help you.

Ted is here to keep you out
