talk to you about.

The police are putting

out this story

that there is a

gang war going on.

- Do you believe that?

- What do you believe?

My people didn't kill no Freddy

Angelo or what's his name Tandino

and cut his heart out.

- Then who did?

- I don't know.

But I know they're

killing my people too.

Why didn't you go

to the police with this?

Daddy's had some unfortunate

experiences talking with the police.

There's a policeman

to see you, Daddy.

Give me a minute.

Thanks.

Lamar.

I didn't know you

represented this sleazebag.

I only represent sleazebags, my boy.

What the hell are you doing here?

I came by to talk to "Chubby. "

I don't know that

he wants to talk to you.

I didn't know the

two of you were like that.

There are a lot of things

about me that you don't know.

(gunshots)

Stay here!

Out here!

Daddy's been shot!

No, no!

(tires screeching)

Ahh!

What's the big secret, Anne?

And don't you bullshit me, now.

What evidence do you got on

the Freddy Angelo murder, huh?

So you're beginning

to think cops were involved?

- Yeah.

- Why?

That was an unmarked police car.

It's a piece of sh*t four-door.

Besides, only cops drive like that.

What do you know?

We have an eyewitness who saw

two men in an unmarked police car

dump Freddy Angelo's body

into the Piazza D'Italia.

Why did they think it

was an unmarked police car?

They saw a blue light and

a radio in the front seat.

Why did you withhold this

information from the police?

The police are the suspects.

(siren)

Hey, get back.

Out of the street.

There isn't no gang war...

Is there?

So what are you gonna do about it?

I don't know.

The police department is my family.

These people are killers, Remy.

What do you want me to do,

go undercover

in my own precinct house?

No, I have a better idea.

Come on.

Anne, this is my cousin Frank,

Uncle Earnest.

you remember Uncle Solse,

cousin Pete.

Guys, thanks for helping out.

Uncle Solse,

I want you to check

everybody coming in or out,

no matter who they are.

You got it, Remy.

- Remy, what's going on?

- Ask her.

Are you the

desk sergeant on duty?

Do I look like

the king of Mardi Gras?

Then this is for you.

What the hell.

Hey, captain.

There's some broad

here with a search warrant.

Do you believe this sh*t?

Anybody who does not cooperate fully

and cheerfully with this investigation

will wish his mother

and father never met.

- Was your car damaged?

- It was in the lot for two days.

What was the nature

of the damage?

If you told me about this,

we could have sent out invitations.

- Is that car 17?

- Right.

- What district?

- Seven.

Sorry, boys, I've got orders

to pat everybody down.

Take out your weapons.

This lawyer is leading

Remy around by his nose.

- Try his dick.

- Higher, Solse.

Don't you touch me,

you dirty old man.

Everything.

Andre's afraid of the dark.

Dark my ass,

it's a jungle out there.

If that don't work,

I piss on them.

There it is,

right there.

No, those are junkers over there.

That baby hasn't been out

of here in three months.

- Not a bad shot.

- Thanks.

I want this car dusted

for fingerprints.

You'll find mine

all over the hood.

Are you gonna come over

and clean up by my house?

You're gonna pay for this, b*tch.

- Eat or work?

- Work.

- My place or yours?

- Yours.

That way I can leave

any time I want.

Did you find something?

You look a little strange.

No, just fried oysters

at 1:
00 o'clock in the morning.

Why don't we just

call it a night, huh.

Who are you calling?

A cab.

Why don't you just stay here.

I'll sleep on the couch.

Thanks any way.

Oh, now. Wait a minute.

You're gonna be over here

first thing in the morning.

Hey, I won't try

no "cha-cha," I promise.

The bed is yours, huh.

No thank you,

but I'd rather go home.

Oh, Annie.

Are you gonna be pissed off at me

for the rest of your life?

Maybe.

Hey, can I get you anything?

No thanks, I'll be asleep as soon

as my head hits the pillow.

If I can't have you...

can I have my gator?

(squeak)

If you want

something to play with,

Go and find yourself a toy

Because baby my

time is too expensive,

And I'm not a little boy

If you are serious...

Freeze!

What is this,

"let's scare Bobby week?"

You're gonna give me

a heart attack before I'm 21.

Shhh, Anne is sleeping

in the bedroom, be quiet.

And you're sleeping on the couch?

Yeah, what about it.

Where am I supposed to sleep?

I thought you college boys

like sleeping on the floor.

Yeah, well, we don't.

(squeak, squeak).

(thunder clapping)

I know that deep down

inside of me

I believe you love me

Forget your foolish pride

You know that life

is too short to have sorrow

You may be here today

and gone tomorrow.

- Good morning.

- Morning.

Hey Remy,

is the coffee ready yet?

We're all out of coffee.

Why don't you go get some coffee.

- But it's pouring.

- Take my raincoat.

- I don't have any money.

- Here's some money for you.

I want you to take a cab

to the farthest place you can find

and have a nice large breakfast.

I want you to take in a movie and

I want you to give me a phone call.

I know that deep down

inside of me,

I believe you love me

Annie.

Tell it like it is.

Oh.

We have to get back to work.

Absolutely.

Cha-cha, cha-cha.

(gunshot)

What was that?

Get away from the window!

Do you see anything?

Dial "911."

Tell them shots fired

at this address,

I'll meet them

out on the street.

I'm a cop.

Bobby!

He's dead.

Please.

Oh, my god.

Bobby!

Hold that tight!

Where are they?

Call the hospital and

tell them we're on our way!

(police radio)

Move over!

Oh, god.

Jack, they tried to kill my baby.

Is he gonna be all right?

I've got to talk to you, Jack.

What is it?

Nothing, mama,

just police business.

Come on.

I was going over

the logs last night.

Some of them have been

tampered with.

Vehicle logs, patrol logs,

arrest logs.

All different departments.

What's that tell you?

Only someone in command

has access to the files.

So that's either me or you.

Was it you?

Who is it, Jack?

You got a wire on?

No wire.

Just you and me.

Family.

You've got a friend

in Mexican Customs, don't you?

You got that right.

What happened,

once you found out about

Freddy Angelo's heroin deal,

you decided to rip him off

and go into business for yourself?

It was a good idea.

We got a lot of scum off the street

with very little cost

to the taxpayers.

Somebody shot my brother, Jack!

They thought it was me,

he was wearing my coat.

Jesus, you think I had

something to do with that?

You're like my own flesh and blood.

I don't know what happened.

Somebody panicked.

Who panicked?

You've been behind this thing

all the way from the beginning.

Freddy Angelo and the Mexicans.

Yeah, and Carmine Tandino

and the boys in Storyville.

- And Daddy Mention.

- Garbage.

Where's the heroin, Jack?

If I told you,

you wouldn't believe me.

There must be more than
