Snake Eyes Page #10

Synopsis: Ricky Santoro is a flamboyant and corrupt Atlantic City cop with a dream: become so well connected that he can become mayor. In lieu of that, he'll settle for keeping his comfortable lifestyle. On the night of the heavyweight boxing championship, Rick becomes mixed up in the assassination of the Secretary of Defense, an assassination involving his best friend. Becoming the investigating officer in the case, Rick soon uncovers a conspiracy to kill the Secretary and a mysterious woman in white. The conspiracy was shocking, but not half as shocking as the identity of its mastermind.

- What about the cocaine...

Cocaine, my ass!

Santoro was unwilling

to comment on the reports...

...which have come

from numerous sources...

- Both in the police department

and elsewhere. - Give us a smile, Ricky!

We're waiting here outside

of the Atlanta County Superior Court...

...for Richard Santoro

who's just been indicted...

...on charges stemming

from incidents that have been...

Where you going? Hey, hey,

hey, Rick! Could you... Mr Santoro!

Mr Santoro, could you comment

on this indictment, sir? Mr Santoro!

Whoa! What are you tryin' to do, kill me?

- Yeah. Nice goin', Al.

- Hey, that's what hard hats are for.

A reporter told me

where to find you.

I came twice before, but you were out.

Yeah, I've had a lot

of social engagements lately.

Yeah, I was surprised

you stayed in town.

I thought

you'd wanna move away.

- Actually, I'm gonna be

spending some time upstate. - Upstate?

Oh.

I keep dreaming

I'm back in that tunnel...

...underwater...

...only in my dream

I drowned.

Wonder what they

would've said about me then.

You didn't have to do

what you did...

...and I know what it cost you,

and if it helps I just...

Don't try to make

a hero out of me. It won't fit.

If I hadn't put a face to you, things probably

would've gone a whole lot different.

But they didn't.

I testified this morning

at the AirGuard hearings.

- Yeah? How'd it go?

- Very well, I think.

The whole system

is being dumped.

The company's being

completely restructured.

There are gonna be all sorts of indictments

up and down the administration...

...and things

have really changed.

I know you may not

wanna see it right now, but it's true.

It's gonna be so different

in Atlantic City.

You know, they say

back 200, 300 years ago...

...pirates put phoney lighthouses

right out by those big rocks...

...right out there.

Ships would set a course

by the lights, crash on the rocks...

...then everybody'd go out

and rob 'em blind.

Only one thing's changed

since then...

Iights are brighter.

- I'm naive.

- There's worse things to be.

Yeah.

How old are you?

Thirty-five.

- You got family around here?

- Yeah.

You got a wife?

She ran away.

- Girlfriend?

- Well, she ran away too.

- Sorry.

- Well, it could've been worse.

- How?

- They could've run away with each other.

Uh, yeah.

So, maybe in about 12 to 18 months

from now I'll give you a call.

Yeah, I'd like that.

Hey.

Oh, what the hell.

At least I got to be on TV.

Come on. Let's go.

Get back to work.

You guys get this done.

Come on. Everybody up. Let's go.

Come on.

We ain't got much sun left.

Watch out over there now.

Watch out. Pay attention.
