The Enforcer Page #4

to suggest you wait in the car?

Don't concern yourself, Inspector.

Well, if it ain't the mighty whitey

and friend.

I'm looking for Big Ed Mustapha.

Sorry, honkie, she can stay,

but you've got to go.

Yeah, baby, we're trying to keep up

the standards, you understand.

- You're not making us feel too welcome.

- You're welcome.

You're about as welcome as a turd

in a swimming pool.

Well, lookie here, if it ain't the fuzz.

I'm looking for Ed Mustapha.

- You hold some kind of warrant, honkie?

- What I'm holding is Henry Lee Caldwell.

I've never heard of him.

Let's see how fast you and the lady fuzz

can get your white asses out of here.

What is Henry Lee into now?

He's been playing with dynamite.

Are you Mustapha?

Yeah, that's right.

Why don't you just come

into my office here.

Just you.

Don't worry, pig,

we'll see she don't get lonesome.

Well, that's mighty white of you.

Now, gentlemen, before anybody

does anything uncalled for...

...I'd like to take this chance

to point out I am a police officer...

...and if you touch me

with intent to do bodily harm...

Sit down, Callahan.

Where do I know you from?

You don't.

I just know you.

Now, what's Henry Lee been up to?

You telling me you don't know?

He don't come around here,

not for a long time.

Where is he?

He went white.

Why, did he do something else foolish?

He and his friends were involved

in a ripoff at the Hamilton Firearms.

I heard about that.

Would you like to buy into that?

Four counts of murder, aiding and abetting.

You got the wrong number, boy.

We don't deal in violence.

What do you deal in?

Waiting.

For what?

Waiting for all you white honkies...

...to blow each other up

so we can move right on in.

Tell me about Henry Lee

and these friends of his.

Some paddy-dudes he met in Vietnam.

Why?

Anybody on this list here grab you?

Hey, man, why should I want to help you?

If you don't, I have to talk to Robbery.

They might be interested...

...in these elaborate furnishings.

What are you talking about?

Room 401, Fairmont.

"Rest easy at the Holiday Inn."

Okay, so?

Maybe they're a little warm.

I'll tell you what:

One of my boys got busted

on a possession charge.

Now, you get him off and forget about

my interior decorator...

...and I'll see what I can do.

That's asking a lot.

You want a lot.

A thing like this can ruin my image.

I'll see what I can do.

What about the list?

Bobby Maxwell.

He's the main man.

You know him?

Stone waste of white.

Where can I find him?

I'll check around.

You do that. Much obliged.

Callahan, you're on the wrong side.

How do you figure that?

You go and put your ass on the line...

...for a bunch of dudes who wouldn't even

let you in the front door anymore...

...than they would me.

- I'm not doing it for them.

- Who, then?

You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

- If it becomes necessary to pull this piece...

- Having fun, Inspector?

If you're through socializing,

we do have work to do.

Son of a b*tch.

If you have some sort of objection

to the way I handled myself...

...I wish you'd just say so.

I thought I was doing all right.

Marvelous.

All right, Mustapha...

...this is Captain McKay

of the San Francisco Police Department.

I'm ordering you to throw down

your weapons and come out peacefully.

You are totally surrounded.

Mustapha, do you hear me?

Come out with your hands

raised over your heads.

I don't want to seem ungrateful,

Your Honor...

...I just feel that it might be a better idea.

Well, I'm still a little confused.

Now, you and the SWAT team

made the arrest...

...but you want the credit to go

to Inspectors Moore and Callahan?

Your Honor,

I just felt it might be a better tactic...

...politically,

what with the election coming up soon.

To show how your new guidelines

for women in the police have worked.

Sort of an I-told-you-so situation,

if you know what I mean, sir.

Yes, I see. It's an excellent idea.

What do you think, Jimmy?

Yes, sir, I couldn't agree more.

You have proved to be quite an asset...

...to the department

and to this administration.

Thank you, sir.

Mr. Mayor, the presentation of

the commendation starts in five minutes.

- I think we'd better get going, sir.

- Thank you, Jimmy.

Captain, off the record,

there are going to be changes...

...in the department after the election,

and you'll figure greatly in my plans.

I'm sure you'll make the right decision, sir.

Do you have any comments on the arrest

of the Black militants yesterday?

Later, Jim, later.

Now, as Mayor of San Francisco,

I want to make it official.

This is one hell of a cop.

And here come a couple more.

Good morning, right this way.

Lieutenant Bressler, Inspector Moore,

would you move toward the stairs.

Mr. Mayor, would you join them.

We're gonna have

some photographs taken here.

- Is this all right, Mayor?

- Yes.

Would you kindly move in

just a little tighter.

Here we are, gentlemen, the two

inspectors who made the Mustapha arrest.

This is Inspector Moore and Callahan.

How about one with the Mayor

and Inspector Moore?

Captain McKay, can you switch places

with Inspector Moore?

Move in, nice and close.

And, Callahan, you get in there, too!

We're ready.

Inspector Moore is one of the first

of her sex in the whole country...

...to become

a full-time homicide investigator.

And we're very proud

of her stunning professionalism.

Thank you very much.

Jimmy, do you want to...

Let me have some time with these people.

Certainly.

Could we move off to the right.

We'll see each other at the conference.

Now, anybody here have

the letters of commendation?

- Jimmy?

- Yes, sir?

- Who's got the letters?

- Right here, sir.

- Wait a minute, what's this?

- These are some form letters.

They'll do, just so you hand them

something for the cameras.

Well, all right.

Thank you, Jimmy.

The Mayor will introduce you,

hand you your letters of commendation...

...and then you'll each move off to the left,

out of camera.

And then I'm going to take

this opportunity...

...to deliver a few boots in the rear...

...to those people who think

the police department has gone to hell...

...under this administration.

Two minutes, Mr. Mayor.

Well, ready? Let's go.

- Just one minute, Mr. Mayor.

- Harry!

Would you mind telling me

what these commendations are for?

- This can wait until after the broadcast.

- No, it can't.

All right, just watch it, Callahan.

The Inspector has a right to know

what he's being commended for.

Specifically, it's for your part

in smashing the group of terrorists...

...who were trying to blackmail

San Francisco out of $2 million.

Let's look at the...

If you're talking about the Mustapha bust,

nobody smashed anything.

What?

I made a deal with him. He was to help me

find out who the people were.

- Inspector Moore and I weren't even there.

- What is he talking about?

- No weapons or explosives were found.

- We'll find them.
