Someone to Watch Over Me Page #3

- That was my fault.

I shouldn't have listened to you. I should

have followed you in the can, like Venza.

If I'd known

I was going to have company...

Garber says when I identify him, they're

gonna lock him up and throw away the key.

I'm supposed to do that in the morning.

Identify him.

The sooner the better.

- Mike, he said he would kill me.

- Big talk... Desperate guy, you know.

Right. How's he gonna do that if he's in

jail and they've thrown away the key?

It's the right thing to do...

Identifying him.

Claire...

You wouldn't happen to know

what languages they speak in India?

- Hindi, Urdu...

- Urdu, yeah. Hey, what a woman.

Didn't do very well, did you?

Nope. Never finished one of these

things yet. I hate these things.

So... tonight's your last night.

You want to go for a drink?

I mean, we're just sitting here

and Venza is in jail.

Cocktails, huh?

Yeah, I'd like that.

- Listen, where you go, I follow.

- I'll be right back.

Some people set themselves up

as victims by body language.

A mugger would stay away from someone

because they walked a certain way?

Absolutely!

No... watch this.

That is the stupidest walk

I have ever seen.

Maybe... But seriously,

there have been studies about this.

You walk like that, muggers

are not going to single you out.

But they're gonna die laughing

because you're walking so stupidly.

This is my business.

I don't tell you your business.

Right...

Let's see if the muggers get me.

Now, let's have those cocktails...

It was like...

first time I met her I knew.

She looked so damn adorable in that

cop's uniform, putting on a tough act.

- So, it was love at first sight.

- Yeah, it was.

- And is?

- Yeah.

That's nice.

And you live in Queens

with a child and a dog?

No, no dog.

Really?

I definitely see you with a dog.

- No dog.

- But nice?

Yeah, very nice.

Tell me...

What's with this Neil?

- You don't like him, do you?

- What's to like?

- Tell me what you really think!

- You asked...

In his own way

Neil is actually very caring.

- You haven't seen him at his best.

- I'll say.

You could do better.

I am going to miss you.

It's been nice having you watch over me.

It's been nice being around you, too.

Let's go home.

Good night, Mike.

Yeah... You sleep good.

It's three o'clock in the morning.

Where the hell have you been?

Hey, Mike. Tough night, huh?

It happens that way.

Chick gives you a ride in her limousine, -

- next thing you know she's wearing

your clothes, having a good time...

I heard

he had her underpants on his head.

Yo, Mike, ease up!

Ain't nobody gonna tell the old lady.

I think he's mad.

Is this the first time

the taxpayers pay for a blow job?

- Let's go.

- It's showtime...

Keegan.

- You had fun last night?

- Sir?

I heard about it. Watch your step.

You take her in

and I'll take care of him.

- Good morning, Miss Gregory.

- Lieutenant.

Thank you for coming. You all ready?

- How long is this going to take?

- It won't take long at all.

- Right this way, Miss Gregory.

- Mr Sternhart... Steinhart.

Can I buy you a cup of coffee?

Everybody straight ahead.

Straight line, please. Come on, guys.

You're wasting your time.

No lawyer, no line-up.

Your objection is noted.

Now you take a three.

Take a number, pick a card.

It's just like a game show. Have fun.

You've seen this on TV before.

It's a two-way mirror,

they can't see you.

Just pick the number

of the suspect, okay?

Okay.

Give me that.

Save those for the game. Come here.

It's freezing outside.

- No!

- Please don't answer...

Hold on.

Hello? Yeah... It's the whip.

Lieutenant Garber, how are you? What?

Oh, no...

Yeah. Ellie...

Venza's out. No, wait a minute.

I didn't read him his rights

because he'd already turned himself in.

You kidding me?

- Yeah, I'll be right in.

- You'll what?

We're not going to the game...

Venza must have gotten to the patrolman.

Venza's attorney danced all over

the DA about an irregular arrest.

- Take it easy.

- Take it easy?

I set her up. I saw it coming, Ellie.

- It's not your fault. Get off this case.

- It is my fault, she's my responsibility.

- Did you hear what I just said?

- Did you hear what I said?

- Did you hear what I said?

- I'm going in.

Man, am I glad to see you!

She is really upset tonight.

I ain't going in there.

I had to piss in a bottle.

Sorry, I ain't got no extras.

Hey, Mikey... have a nice night.

Claire, it's just me.

I want to talk to you. Now, let me in!

- You've put my life in danger.

- No! We're going to pick him up again.

And then what? I'll never be safe.

I'll have to leave the country.

You can't protect me

and you can't keep him in jail.

You knew that all the god-damn time.

What are you do...?

You tell me I'm safe?

I'm going for a walk in the park.

- Calm down!

- I'm calm! I'm going for a walk!

- Stop it!

- Let go of me!

- Will you stop being so nuts!

- I trusted you!

- I thought you cared about me!

- I do care about you.

Bullshit! Will you let go!

I'm not going to

leave you alone through this.

I'm not going to

let anything happen to you, okay?

- There's somebody outside.

- I know somebody's outside.

Christ, you stupid kid...

Great dogs. They were used

as army dogs in World War One.

Great with kids.

Very loyal, very protective...

- Get a Rottweiler.

- Don't get a Rottweiler...

Can you imagine picking up the...

Hey, Mike. Everything's okay.

Really, just relax, calm down.

Ellie reported a prowler. That's all.

One of them peepers that makes

the neighbourhood such a pleasure.

We all look like hell.

Thanks for the coffee.

I'm gonna come round in a car

from time to time. So, get some sleep.

And keep the shades pulled.

So... thanks for the coffee.

You guys have been terrific.

I'm sorry.

I know I heard something.

Detective's wife...

- You are staying with my mother.

- Don't be ridiculous.

All I need is rubbing up against

your mother and grandmother.

I can take care of myself.

I need some sleep.

We all need some sleep.

God, I'm glad you're home!

- What's it to be?

- I don't know, Ellie.

Baby, don't make

an issue out of it, okay?

You want the f***ing meatloaf or not?

Do you have to say "f***ing"

every other word?

- What was that?

- You heard me!

- Somebody's feeding you a line of crap.

- What are you talking about?

I've been talking like this for 16 years

and all of a sudden you find it vulgar?

Jesus, what's happening?

- Is everything all right?

- Yeah.

I don't even know you.

What is this, a joke?

Let's make it easy, it was a mistake.

Don't make me feel guilty, now that

it's over. Let's just forget about it.

Don't you think I know

what this is doing?

I know you have a wife, you have a family.

I'm not asking for anything.

But I'm scared.

Just hold me.

Mike?

Man, I don't believe you.

All messed up, T.J.

You gotta change tours, Michael.

We can't take this.

I'm sorry, Ellie.

I'm not saying it's your fault.
