Prince of the City Page #7

- For you?

- Ten percent and my other thing...

...which is none of

your f***ing business.

None of my f***ing business?

Stay here. I'll see what I can do.

- Yeah.

- Gino. Dave.

Hey, man, listen.

I still don't trust this little prick Ciello.

He's nothing but needles. Every time

I talk to him, nothing but needles.

Well, what do you expect? You leaned

on him. I hope he drives you crazy.

Hey, look, you moron, if Ciello's a rat,

then my mother's a rat.

Now stop bothering me, will you?

My kids are in school,

and I love my wife.

Here. Park Avenue.

A lot of doormen.

Go nice. Wear a suit.

How come one phone call gets an

address you wanted so long?

Well, let's say somebody owed me.

Goddamn, I'm nervous

using anything from you.

Now you know how I feel.

So long, scumbag.

He's on my ass, Rick. Hey, he wants

Sardino, I'm getting Sardino.

It's too fancy.

Why mix up with DeBennedeto again?

We've got him.

We'll do it another way.

I don't know another way.

Is Ernie on backup?

Yes, Ernie is on backup.

Are you going wired to this?

- No, not tonight.

- Goddamn it. I knew it. You're nervous.

Rick, you ain't never gonna learn.

I'm always nervous.

Sometimes I'm scared shitless.

Tonight I am scared shitless.

Assigned to permanent duty

with this guy?

- Hey, how you doing, kid?

- Okay. you?

Perfect. I told Dave

I met Sardino's lawyer.

It's like you said. If the tapes are real,

50 grand on top of what Dave blew.

The tapes are good.

Come here.

Come here.

From the desk of Cappalino?

The assistant DA?

D-E-B. DeBennedeto.

That's got to be you.

If this is what I think it is, I'm gonna

jam you up, you cocksucker.

Now come on.

I told you I wasn't wearing a wire.

You're ruining my jacket.

- Drop your shorts.

- Only if you kiss my ass.

We're getting out of here.

We're gonna sit down.

I'm gonna pay the check...

...and we're leaving, nice.

Now put your pants on.

What's the hell's the point?

He's not even wired.

Why don't you relax

and count your overtime?

All right! All right, I got

four agents outside! Call 911!

Wait a minute!

Wait a minute, I'm a cop!

Come on, up! Up, hands up.

Now get up!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The telephone, is no work!

- Come on. Give me a reason.

- No.

- Give me a reason.

- Easy.

Come on, give me a reason.

Give me a reason.

I'll blow your f***ing brains out.

I'll blow your brains out. Come on.

- Come on, Carl, up!

- Easy.

- Come on, let's go. Move!

- Easy.

- Walk! Come on, Carl.

- Easy.

Move, Carl!

- Move, Carl. Come on, move. Let's go.

- Take it easy.

I'll blow your f***ing brains out,

you fat f***.

Are we...?

Are we in a lot of trouble, Danny?

- Just walk. Walk.

- Come on.

- Keep walking. Keep walking.

- What do you need?

- What do you need?

- Keep walking.

- Come on, Carl.

- Not like this.

- Move, Carl.

- Not like this, Dan. Really. Come on.

- I'll blow your f***ing brains out. Walk.

- Come on.

- Come on. Let's talk.

- Nice and slow.

- Come on. All right?

- Nice and slow.

Come on. Come on,

now freeze. Now freeze.

Stay the f*** where you are!

- Ernie!

- Come on, we can make a deal.

Ernie! Against the doors.

- We can make a deal.

- Against the doors.

- Come on, Carl.

- Come on.

Spread. Higher, Carl. Come on.

Hey, put the defogger on.

I can't see anything.

Come on, Danny,

what do you need? Anything.

Come on. Can't we make a deal?

Come on, Dan.

He's in trouble.

- I'm here, Danny.

- I'm all right. I'm all right.

- Carl had a gun. Where's his gun?

- I got him.

- Get the doors.

- All right. Get him... Get him off.

Easy, easy.

- All right, get off me.

- Easy.

Easy.

Easy.

Take care of him.

- You all right, Dan?

- Come on, let me go.

- Christ.

- You all right?

- I'm bleeding.

- Let me go.

- I'm gonna move.

- Oh, all right then. Come on.

Take it easy.

- Come on.

- Danny.

Can you get me a deal, Danny?

I'll try.

Hey, Ernie, you want the collar?

No, I'll take the walrus,

but I won't bring a cop in.

Let the f***ing feds do it.

They enjoy it.

You take Carl to the hospital,

and book him fast. No newspapers.

I'll wait here with Ernie

for that piece of sh*t over there.

And I'll tell you this to your face,

you guys are never backing me up again.

- I'm bleeding.

- I'll quit first.

- Help, please.

- Thanks, Danny. Thanks.

Take care, baby.

The doorman has your name.

Hi, Bobby.

Here's a key.

You can crash here

whenever you need it.

There are four bedrooms.

Timmy, how you doing?

The refrigerator is always full.

What else can I do for you?

I'm nervous about Sardino.

Don't be.

I'm telling you, he's gonna skip.

He's gotta figure DeBennedeto

fingered him.

- He'll skip.

- He won't.

DeBennedeto is in jail.

If we pick up Sardino now...

...it would be clear he was

cooperating.

Just 48 hours, that's all we need.

I want to take Sardino in.

Dan, this is dangerous information

I'm about to give you.

Do not do anything. Anything at all.

You'll screw us up.

Sardino...

...you turned him.

- That's right, he's ours.

- Why did you send me after him?

- He's working for us.

It's important he look legitimate.

- Okay?

- They're gonna use Sardino...

...to take Gino tonight. I can feel it.

You said Gino was the best cop

on the force, how's he...?

Santimassino set him up.

It will happen, believe me.

- Where are you going?

- To find Gino.

Danny, you warn Gino.

You find Gino and you warn...

I know. Santimassino's

gonna prosecute me, I know that!

I know that!

- What am I gonna do, Carla?

- I'll do it.

I'll call Rose and I'll tell her

Gino mustn't see Sardino.

That's all I'll say, then I'll hang up.

Carla, not on this phone.

The phone is bugged.

Go out and use a public phone

if you have to.

Danny, what did he do?

Oh, hell, Carla.

He bought a house in Great Neck and

carpeted the whole upstairs just like me.

You know I am a man of honor.

Ask Joe Voscoe.

Always fair and always on time.

If you give me my passport back...

...I will give you

the biggest arrest ever.

Bigger than anybody, ever.

Well, how long do you need,

Mr. Sardino?

Marseilles, two days.

One day Aleppo, two days Iran...

...Bogot, maybe four or five days.

But then I be come back in New York...

...the 22nd for sure.

Then I give you the whole case.

The route, the couriers,

the arrival time, arrival places.

It's very big, Gino.

I'll get the passport.

I knew, I knew.

You good man.

We do a lot of business together.

- Here.

- I can wait.

Gino, we are both Italians.

You trust me and I trust you.

Let me do this for you. I want to.

Gino, I'm Agent O'Hara.

You've got a problem here, Gino.

Give me the money.

Gino.

You simply call Detective Alvarez and tell

him to call you back on a public phone.

And when he does, you will say,

"Raf, I just found something out."

You say, "The feds are on us."

I don't understand. What's wrong

with doing that, it's a little test?

Prove you're not lying to us about
