Q Page #4

That's why all you guys go back,

isn't it?

Shut up!

Big black cops are worse

than the white ones.

You damn right.

You got that message,

didn't you?

An empty box or something?

Maybe it was three guys

looking for a place to stay.

Uh, listen, can I, uh--

can I go to another room,

you know, that's quieter?

- Another room, huh? - Yeah, can't

stand all the noise in here.

Um. You know, then I'll make

a statement to you.

That's what I like.

A man who wants his privacy.

I think I might be able

to find something for you.

A nice little quiet cubicle. Come

on, get the f*** out of here.

Come on.

Uh, Paul, let me talk to you

for a minute, will you?

Shepard,

let me see you out here.

Just a sec.

Joey, take care

of this piece, huh

you guys can

call this anything you want.

Mass hysteria,

anything you want.

But 43 witnesses

and they all concur, okay?

Rooftop pool,

57th street and 2nd Avenue,

luxury co-op, a guy is snatched

out of the pool and carried away.

Joseph Peadrian, divorced,

has a firm someplace

in the garment district.

I mean, he's snatched out of the pool and

carried off by something that flies.

That son of a b*tch

is getting bold.

You know, something I don't

quite understand.

You don't seem at all surprised by this.

Why is that?

Maybe it's time

I showed you my report.

What is he talking about?

I'm becoming

kind of a bird watcher.

You know, birds are six times

stronger than men for their size.

And some of them have to eat up to seven times

their weight just to stay alive everyday.

This is a very large bird

we're talking about.

He's not putting us on?

Putting you on, huh?

Like a window washer

with his head cut off?

A construction worker?

That woman taking a nap

on a roof?

Yeah, big laugh.

Big laugh.

Hey, hey, hey. Keep the voice

down a little bit, all right?

Here. Come on, come on,

come on.

Can we contain this a little bit

among ourselves, huh?

Yeah, well, how do you

expect to do that?

Why don't you ask the commissioner?

How is he gonna stop a panic?

Hey, look, what about

the ritual murders?

I mean, are we off that case

or what?

Oh, will you shut up.

This is that case, get it?

I don't see how it is

the same case.

Hey! Hey. Hey.

I'll tell you what.

F*** off, Shepard.

All right. All right.

Hey, you guys

through with me now?

Uh, yeah!

Pal, I'm sorry.

We forgot about you.

It's okay, you can go home now.

We'll call you if we need you.

You're a little dense,

do you know that?

Would you please come over here?

Just a little just a little.

You know, it can take us weeks to

find where this thing's hold up.

I mean,

it could be in the woods.

Away from the city someplace. It

could be over in Jersey someplace.

My God, with a wingspan

like you're talking about here,

that thing could fly Miles

into New York City every day.

And it would do that of course

because, you know,

New York is famous

for good eating.

Bull sh*t. It flew that

far, it would get spotted.

Nah, midtown Manhattan.

Moves out quickly,

takes its prey back to the nest.

Look, the thing could be just smart

enough to fly right in line with the sun.

So when people look up at it,

it's blinded from it.

What I want to know is,

how the hell does this tie in with

the murders and the mutilations?

Well, that's what

brought it back.

Awakened it

from its centuries of sleep.

This thing has been prayed

back into existence.

Right.

Okay, okay.

Before you put

the straight jacket on me--

excuse me, captain.

Read the f***ing report, okay?

I got to read a f***ing report.

I'll deal with your ass later.

Joe, take him downstairs.

Hold it.

You got something to say to me?

You want to talk to me, huh?

Yeah, happy hunting.

Yeah, you got

big ears also, huh?

Get him out of here.

Ease up.

Listen, you shouldn't

done that to me.

You know,

they're gonna hear from me!

Because with

the stuff I know, man!

Right now, I am the most

important man in New York City.

And, you know, I'm sitting

in the tank back there

thinking about it,

thinking it over.

And I'm not talking about

just burying this wrap.

More than that.

I'm talking about

tens of millions--

fifty hundred million dollars

in loses

every time this city has

to grind to a screeching halt.

And only yours truly

can prevent that.

You're talking crazy.

If you know something,

you have to tell them.

Well, sure, make them heroes?

Yeah, get promotions and I go to

the sh*t house for five to ten.

You know, someone tried

to break into the apartment.

Tell me something

I don't already know.

And those two--

boy, they're no longer alive.

I took them on a little trip.

I mean, I set them up,

and they got it good.

Okay, so that's something

I got to square away

with the police.

That I'm not

responsible for that.

I did that in self-defense.

- Are you all right, lady?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, sure, she's fine.

- Just take it easy.

You got three more minutes.

I don't think

we're gonna need the time.

Where are you going?

Quinn, you got to do

the decent thing.

Forget your charges.

You got to tell them.

All my life I've been a nobody.

And right now

I can be somebody important.

You expect me to give that up?

What are you going to do

if somebody dies tomorrow

or the next day or the next day?

I'm not gonna think about it.

You know, it won't be my fault.

It'll be there's if they don't

give me what I want.

I think I liked you better

as a small time crook.

I'm only asking to be a big man for

one lousy minute for Christ's sake!

Hold it down.

I want to get a message

to the commissioner of police.

And try to get it straight.

From the reports, the damn

thing is growing in size.

Getting bigger every day.

Another sighting,

negative contact.

It didn't even come close.

There's no doubting

its existence now.

If I may interject, sir,

we have a very definite lead on

these ritual killings.

Traces back to the museum. Former

medical student who is now employed--

save it, sergeant Powell.

We're here to hear what Mr.

Quinn has to say for himself.

Well, I see we got all the

heavy weights here today, huh?

Look, you said you wanted to

speak your peace, now go ahead.

Mr. Quinn, I assume you brought

your attorney with you.

Oh, no.

I do my own negotiating.

This is commissioner O'Connell.

- Hello, how are you.

- Mr. Quinn.

- Jimmy Quinn. - Would you

sit over here, please, sir?

Yeah, sure.

Hello, sir, I don't believe--

uh, Mr. Quinn, just sit here,

will you?

Now, wait a minute.

Don't push me.

You guys got the education

on me.

Got the experience.

I am just a little kid

from the streets.

I'm out there with a lot

of other guys shouting into wind

and nobody here

was listening, right?

We're listening to you now,

Jimmy.

We can't ascertain if you're telling

the truth or not, Mr. Quinn.

Sir, don't try our patience.

I understand that, commissioner.

You want a little credibility.

That's what

the New York times says,
