Striking Distance Page #4

Thank you very much, Officer Sacco.

I'd like to call

Detective Emily Harper.

Raise your right hand, please.

Do you swear to tell the truth?

- I do.

- State your name.

Detective Emily Harper.

Are you a member of the Police

lnternal Affairs Division?

- Yes.

- What was your last assignment?

The assignment was to

rate Officer Hardy's competence -

- and to monitor his interest

in the Three Rivers murder case.

You state that Officer Hardy

neglected his duties -

- to pursue an illegal investigation

into the Three Rivers murder case.

To what do you attribute

his unusal interest in the case?

He feels the murders were committed

by the Polish Hill murderer.

A case he worked on.

A prosecution witness in the case -

- said that Officer Hardy

threatened him.

And that you were forced

to protect him with your own weapon.

No, that's incorrect.

- I drew my weapon as backup.

- Backup?

Officer Hardy was not ...

out of control and dangerous?

At no time whatsoever.

Hardy is courageous and resourceful.

I wish we had more officers ...

- Excuse me ...

- Don't you want my evaluation?

Thank you, Detective,

you may step down.

Ten-minute recess.

I'm sorry.

- Why'd you change your testimony?

- Why do you think?

- You cheat good.

- Hardy.

Hi, Emily, it's your father.

Sarah just wanted to say hello.

She's enjoying her visit.

We'll see you Sunday. Bye.

Hi, Jo ... I mean Emily.

I'll never get used to that name.

It took a lot of courage to do

what you did at the hearing.

Maybe we can talk.

Call me. Bye.

Yes, Bob, I know you're hungry.

You're always hungry.

Go catch a rat.

Let's see what our friends

the coastguard have for us.

Let's see.

Nothing up there but cabins.

Jesus Christ!

Bob, will you get that ...

This is Hardy here. Go.

Jo!

Kim Lee! No!

Oh, God! It stops now!

Hands high, Danny.

Where's the girl? I know everything.

- I got your note.

- What note?

Jesus Christ!

The key to Detillo's conviction

was the testimony of Thomas Hardy.

Surprised?

Hello, Jimmy.

I got you.

I got you good, didn't l? Admit it.

Yeah.

Yes!

What a world!

It's hard to believe, isn't it?

I jump off a bridge.

I don't die. Go figure.

And you ...

... being so smart.

That must be a real comfort to you

at a time like this.

- Jimmy.

- Shut up! Shut your f***ing mouth!

I loved you. You're my brother

and you betrayed me for him.

You knew I was the best cop!

Say it!

- Who's the best cop?

- Jimmy was the best cop!

- What are you doing?

- I'm sorry.

Tommy, let's have a drink.

Me and you. Just like the old days.

Remember?

Look at me when I'm talking to you.

What's the matter?

You're a drunk, aren't you?

Drink it!

Are you too proud

to drink with a dead man?

Maybe I should drink

with your little dove.

Hey.

- Leave her alone, Jimmy.

- Shut up!

So, I'm killing all these girls ...

He's riding next to me

wondering who's doing it.

We're investigating the crimes.

Me and my partner.

You've been a very bad boy,

f***ing your new partner.

Did you get f***ed, honey?

Well, Tommy has made a career

out of f***ing his partners.

- Let the girl go.

- Shut up or I'll kill you.

- Bye-bye, Tommy.

- Jimmy!

I like this game.

Everybody dies,

and they all die with Tommy's gun.

Now we've got us a game.

- Say goodbye to her, Tommy.

- Jimmy, don't do it!

- Jimmy, no!

- Say goodbye to her.

Jimmy!

Put the gun down, son. Please.

Listen to Daddy.

- Put the gun down.

- What fun would that be, Dad?

It's all over, son.

Put the gun down.

- It's just starting.

- Please!

I think Tommy

has some questions for you.

Tommy? Comments? Come on.

Should I help him along, Dad?

You know your dad,

God bless his lrish soul ...

He was ...

How shall I put it?

He was sort of killed.

Tell Tommy who killed his dad.

Tell Tommy.

Come on, tell him!

Don't move or I'll f***ing kill you!

Son of a b*tch.

Jimmy!

Get up!

Get up!

- I'll kill you.

- I'm your son.

Let me go.

Let me go.

- Freeze! Stop or I'll shoot!

- Vince, no!

I'm sorry, Tommy. I never meant

for any of this to happen.

He was my son.

But it's over now, because

we're going in ... together.

What are you gonna do? Shoot me?

Come on, shoot me.

You couldn't do it before.

You just don't have it in you.

Shoot your own son?

There goes that gold watch.

A bullet proof vest!

Who's the best cop now?

- Come on, Jimmy! Me and you!

- Go on. Run, you son of a b*tch.

Tommy!

I just want to talk to you!

Tommy, what are you

making me chase you for?

Come on, are you mad at me?

I just shot my dad.

Call me, Tommy. No, I'll call you.

- Get these handcuffs off me.

- Why are you handcuffed?

Where's Detillo?

- He's been shot! Get off!

- I'm not getting off.

Hardy, you son of a b*tch!

Get away from me!

You could never beat me!

You like to jump off bridges.

Who's the best cop now?

- Take these handcuffs off me.

- Get some handcuff keys.

- Do you want to take a shot at me?

- No.

It wouldn't do any good, Eddie.

On the other hand ...

Hardy!

You're okay.

VINCENT THOMAS HARDY

LOYALTY ABOVE ALL ELSE,

EXCEPT HONOUR:

Grandkids, Dad.
