Red Heat Page #6

- I do not understand.

- You know exactly what I mean.

You get Viktor, I go free.

You understand "freedom"?

Look, I just want my life back.

The city pays me $5.84 an hour...

...to teach kids

they hope won't turn into junkies.

Viktor gives me 10 grand

just to marry him. You figure it out.

Look, he's gonna contact me.

I find out when and where this

drug deal's going down. I tell you.

- Why would he tell you?

- He trusts me. I'm his wife.

Come on, Danko.

Don't just breathe at me.

I get Viktor, I promise I do what I can

to help.

- Come on, what's bugging you?

- What do you think?

Check your messages, Art.

Your phone's been driving me crazy.

Yeah, Ridzik, Nelligan here.

Listen, that 560 report,

please get it done tonight.

It's got to be in by morning.

Yo, Art, this is Pat,

your millionaire brother-in-law.

Yo, hey, pay attention to me.

This alimony business

with your sister is getting out of hand.

We gotta talk. I'll be at the key shop

later tonight.

Hi, guys.

How you doing?

Hey, you want your old room back?

We're ready for our next case.

So, Mr. Bennet,

please introduce our new couple.

Your Honor, this is the case

of Antonello v. Antonello.

Ben Antonello is a 27-year-old

police officer.

Roxanne Antonello is 23

and works at...

Three-oh-two.

- You shop full-time, then?

- As a matter of fact, I do.

- Where is he?

- He's in the bathroom.

Wrong guy.

Viktor set us up.

It's him.

No. Not me. I'm not with them.

I don't know anything about this sh*t.

- I just wanna get out of here.

- How many more?

I don't know. They just came in

and blew my trick away.

I don't know anything about this.

Viktor.

Hey, wait a minute.

I don't believe this.

What is this all about?

Hey, where are you going?

You're not gonna start shooting again,

are you?

What's in there?

What are you gonna do?

Let's get out of here. Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Don't get any on your shoes.

Would you tell me

who's gonna explain this to my boss?

That third floor looks like Beirut.

He's gonna sh*t bricks

when he sees this.

Who's gonna back me up

when I tell him it's not my fault?

The city of Chicago? You cops?

Somebody's gotta pay for this...

...and it ain't gonna be

that bastard Commie Russian.

- I'm just here to get your statement.

- I don't know.

I don't know about anything.

- Everybody just started shooting.

- Where'd you get the gun?

In my purse.

I don't know nothing about any of this.

- You carry a gun in your purse?

- Around here everybody's got a gun.

You meet a lot of weirdos.

- How many more upstairs?

- Three.

There's only one thing that's clear

to me about this whole damn case.

That Russian bastard

is still holding out on us.

- Young woman found in the Chicago

River as a Catherine "Cat" Manzetti.

The victim was a dance instructor...

...employed at Wicker Park

Performing Arts Center.

She was 24 years old.

The body was discovered

beneath the Kinsey Bridge...

...by a local patrol unit.

Cause of death

has not been determined...

...but foul play

has not been ruled out.

Thus far, investigators are refusing

to comment on the incident.

Miss Manzetti was identified

by police records.

In 1986,

she was charged with pros...

It's Viktor's wife.

Cat Manzetti. We fished her

out of the river about an hour ago.

Preliminary med-path

indicates a broken neck...

...strangulation, the works.

I want an autopsy right away.

If I talk to either of them now,

I'm gonna get a heart attack.

Bring them both in,

shut them down, the end.

I'll interview Danko in my office later.

I want some debriefing.

I was very wrong about the downside.

Donnelly says you're riding

the desk starting now.

We're sending you back

behind the curtain where you belong.

Eat sh*t.

Excuse me?

See you at the office.

Stupid, goddamn, f***ing Russians!

Don't take that personal, Danko.

I didn't mean you.

I'm talking about Viktor.

Except Viktor's not stupid

because he's got the key.

Okay, Art, if you and your foreign

friend wanna goosestep back here...

...we can talk.

- These the books?

- Yeah.

They're alphabetical order

and in English. Is that a problem?

- Hey, take a walk, will you?

- What did you do, Art?

Lock one of your girlfriends up

in the patrol car?

- Tell your sister to stop calling me.

- I'll give you a tip.

Pay your alimony on time

and she'll leave you alone.

Said it was your idea

to go back to court.

She can take me back to court

because I don't have any more money.

We both agreed to the payments.

Why can't she live...

Your May check arrived July 9th

and bounced like a superball.

- Too much free work for the police.

- Maybe we should have a pity party.

Don't start with that. Talk to her.

She'll listen to you.

She don't listen.

I told her not to marry you.

I offered her money not to marry you.

I gave her the best six months

of my life.

You know what you are?

You're cheap, man.

You hurt her. You owe her money,

and you should pay up.

- You're a sleazebag.

- Get out of my face.

Hey, you pay her.

Find anything?

Coffee.

Thank you.

Everything okay, yes?

Sure.

The stuff's coming in on the 9:30

from El Paso. Check it out.

I trust you.

Spread it all over Siberia, right, man?

All right. Let's go in.

Wait a minute. Now, look.

I know you really want this guy,

but this is a Chicago Police matter.

Go in the front.

I'm gonna cover the back.

And don't try to be a hero.

You dig?

You dig? You understand? Dig?

What, they didn't

teach you that in Kiev?

- I'm not on holiday here.

- Then let's go.

Excuse me.

You got change for a $100 bill?

This is the smallest I have.

Your merchandise

is in the luggage trunks.

Hey.

You did not make it, Viktor.

Back off, captain.

He killed a Chicago police officer.

Chicago gets him first.

I have my orders.

What, are you f***ing nuts?

All right, come on, get real, Danko.

Look, we're doing good things here.

We'll... Move!

Move!

- I'm not leaving yet, mister.

- Get out.

Hey.

Hey. Hey.

- Get in.

- What were you gonna do?

Leave without me?

Where did you learn to drive a bus,

anyway?

Kiev. In the army.

Jesus, we're going down

the wrong way street.

Get on the other side of the street.

Danko. Danko,

you're not listening to me.

Christ. Go to the right.

Way to go.

That was a f***ing Chicago landmark.

Where the hell are all the cops?

Damn, they're never around

when you need one, you know?

You make a U-turn, they're all over

your ass. Where the f*** are they?

Watch it, watch it!

Sh*t!

Sh*t. This is called Chicken.

You're not supposed

to play it with buses.

- This is no game.

- No sh*t.

Get ready to swerve.

Come on, get ready to swerve.

Come on. You crazy f***er.

You f***er. You almost killed

both of us, goddamn it.

- And Viktor!

- F*** Viktor!

What's wrong with you?

Are you crazy?

You almost got us both killed!

Jesus Christ, man! What the hell

do you think you're doing?

You son of a b*tch.

I take care of this.
