...can certainly handle dope.

I think you should come off

your high horse, captain...

...and start to talk business.

You have my key.

I need it quite badly.

I'm willing to pay for it generously.

More than you can make in 10 years.

I do not sell drugs.

Foolish.

You are so foolish.

I thought you might

be more reasonable.

Money has a way

of doing that to a man, but no.

I don't think so.

Not with you.

You are one of those kinds of Soviets

that only look forward to death.

I know you well, Vanya.

Without me, you don't even exist.

I don't give a sh*t if they did

give us the f***ing guns back!

These are the motherfuckers

that killed Gallagher, you know that?

And you call yourself a f***ing cop.

You know, in this country,

we trust our partners.

We don't hold back

from our partners...

...and we never leave our partners

holding their d*cks in their hands...

...while some bald motherf***er's

got a gun in his ear.

Here. Here. Take this goddamn key.

Take it.

Now we go to hospital

to question Tatomovich.

You are a shithead.

- We're here to see Tatomovich.

- Yeah, I got him right over here.

No, this is not part of our deal.

I've had...

What is his condition?

He started coming around

about an hour or so ago...

...you know, mumbling something

in Russian.

They got a nurse in there with him

right now.

- Any visitors from downtown?

- Not so far, but they're on the way.

You'd better wait

for Stobbs and Donnelly.

- Ernie, let's get some coffee.

- Sure, okay.

- Pardon me.

- Pardon me.

Check it out.

I knew I should have been a doctor.

Hey, this area's restrict...

Hey, buddy. Hey, shithead.

You talk to him.

You speak his language.

Tatomovich.

Come on, scumbag, don't play dead.

The nurse.

Hey!

Hey.

Hey.

Sh*t. Look out.

Goddamn it, lady, police!

Stop, goddamn it, or I'll shoot.

- Don't! Put it down.

- What are you doing here?

- Put it down. Are you crazy?

- Move, goddamn it.

- Put it down. Goddamn it.

- Goddamn it.

- Move.

- Oh, God, no.

Don't! Stop it!

You...

What the hell? It was a guy.

Sh*t.

You are stupid.

I never meant for any of this...

Viktor has 10 women like you at home.

They're all dead or in prison.

What am I supposed to do?

Go. Go.

I just don't see how she could

disappear into thin air.

- You checked the back stairs?

- Yes.

- No sign of her?

- Yes.

- She just got away?

- Yes.

- Nice work, Gumby.

- Thank you.

I didn't mean that.

- You got a shithouse in Russia?

- Yes.

We got one here

and you and I are standing right in it.

It's not only gonna hit the fan,

it's gonna go right through the ceiling.

Watch it, lady, okay? I don't know

why you insist on this tetanus shot.

I had one 14 years ago. Easy.

Sh*t, b*tch.

What's in that, cement?

All right, what's the score, Ridzik?

Sh*t, it's been a hell of a night,

commander.

First of all, some cleanhead

stuck his damn gun in my ear.

Danko here shot a drag queen.

I've always enjoyed your reports,

Ridzik. I'm gonna enjoy the one...

...where you detail your examination

of Gallagher's informant.

- Streak?

- According to his lawyer...

...you tried to break his hand.

He's filing a criminal and civil suit...

...against the department.

Well, it's bullshit.

We can beat that rap.

He got his hand stuck in the door.

Danko will tell you.

Listen, the story is after silencing

the alarm button on the EKG monitor...

...el transvesto killed Tatomovich

by shooting an air bubble into a vein.

He didn't want us to question him.

Viktor did not want me

to question him.

The drag queen belongs to Viktor?

Yes. He killed his own man.

He knew I would get information

from Tatomovich.

- He thinks it's better to kill him.

- Did you get to his wife?

This Manzetti woman? We've been

trying to track her down all night long.

No, we don't have sh*t.

Tell me, captain.

Where did you get the gun you used?

Registered in my name.

Moscow Militia Headquarters.

- Ridzik.

- Yeah.

He did not know about gun.

Under the circumstances, I'm gonna

have to ask for your weapon.

And I say no.

I see Ridzik is teaching you

his sense of humor.

Your gun, captain. Now.

Don't f*** with me.

Sergeant...

...I need to see paperwork on this

whole incident by 10:00 this morning.

Every move you and Danko

have made.

You'll have it.

- Where did you put the witnesses?

- Got them right down the hall, sir.

I need other gun.

Get away from me, man. Just get away

from me. I can't deal with that.

We got no leads, pal.

We're batting f***ing zero.

Don't even look at me like that.

It's not happening.

I mean, I give you a gun,

my ass is grass. You understand?

Donnelly wants me for dog meat,

so forget it.

Just get in the car and relax.

We have many men like

Commander Donnelly in Soviet Union.

I understand him. He's like KGB.

All right, goddamn it.

All right, I owe you one

because you saved my life tonight.

Here.

Captain Danko,

you are now the proud owner...

...of the most powerful handgun

in the world.

Soviet Podbyrin 9.2 mm...

...is world's most powerful handgun.

Come on, everyone knows

the Magnum.44...

...is the big boy on the block.

Why do you think Dirty Harry

uses it?

Who is Dirty Harry?

Well, you got your site report,

your preliminary report.

You got your accident report.

You got a questionnaire

from the coroner to fill out...

...which has to be typed in triplicate.

- How are you two fellows doing?

- Great.

Just had my ass jammed

with a horse needle.

Poor baby.

Look, lady, I just got my coffee

the perfect color.

It's the only thing I got going for me

tonight.

You married?

I'm just curious.

I mean, we are working together.

- No.

- Ever?

No.

- You got a girlfriend?

- No.

- Ever?

- Of course.

Great. That's good to hear.

How about your dad?

What was he, a cop?

Army. Dead 11 years.

How about your ma?

Nurse. Died when I was young.

Grandparents?

Killed in war against Nazis.

Pretty f***ing grim.

- You got any brothers or sisters?

- No.

You?

Yeah, I got one sister. Divorced.

Parents are both dead.

My dad was a cop. A real good cop.

You and I won't spend a lot of time

Christmas shopping this year, huh?

You don't like talking

about this stuff, do you?

I didn't think so.

Yo, sweet cheeks.

While we're young, huh?

Tea, please.

In a glass with lemon.

Right?

Yes.

I saw Dr. Zhivago.

I'm gonna go back

to the station house.

You catch a couple Z's

and take a shower.

We'll get back to it

in a couple hours.

Hey, you're all wet.

Messages.

Just trying to be friendly.

Yeah, you got a whole

mess of them here.

All from the same honey too.

Been calling every 10 minutes

the last hour.

Hey, buddy, I got an idea.

Why don't you just use my phone?

Just make sure it's a local, will you?

- Yeah.

- This is Danko.

Yeah, look,

I can't be in the middle of this.

If Viktor finds out, you guys

gotta promise you'll protect me.

The drugs are coming in tonight.

I give you Viktor, you let me walk.
