[police radio]
[man] Aren't you a little old
to be playing with dolls, Michael?
What do you think, Billy, is my kid
going to love this thing or what?
Sure, he'll love it.
He Iook just like you.
Yeah, he is pretty cute, isn't he?
You know what day it is?
Tuesday.
lt's October 1st.
'til l first came to America.
No sh*t.
Hey, happy anniversary, Billy.
l'll tell you what--
ten years deserves a celebration.
How 'bout I take you out for a drink
after work, come on?
l can't be too late.
l'm meeting a girl at nine.
She wants to help me celebrate too.
[Michael laughs]
[Michael] If you could party
after the graveyard shift,
you've got, uh, a lot of stamina.
You know what I mean?
[both laugh]
Sh*t, looks like the f***in' Indians
got another one.
We better check it out, Billy.
This is car 17 to dispatch.
We got a code 1022-- stripped truck.
Sector H,
right off Longfellow Avenue.
We'll get right back to you.
[radio] 10-4.
Careful, Billy.
Michael, check it out.
[groaning]
Jesus... Christ.
Don't-- don't shoot me.
Take anything you want,
just don't shoot me.
Relax.
We're cops, okay?
You fellas got one hell of a friendly
city here, you know that?
Just stopped for a red light
and boom.
Oh, they got my computers.
Oh, look at my rig.
My poor rig.
[groans]
You stopped at a red Iight
in the South Bronx
with a truckload of computers?
Where are you from pal?
- Texas.
- Figures.
Welcome to New York.
Hey, you're not taking that in,
are you?
Can't leave it in the car,
someone'll steal it.
Don't give me a hard time,
get in there.
[car honks]
Hey, that's enough, huh?
AIl right, let's go, let's do it.
Okay, I'm gonna kick
some f***ing ass.
l'm gonna hit the can.
Another round for my two friends.
You got it.
AIl right, big man, close that door.
Nobody move!
Michael, get the back door.
AIl right, everybody over here,
get over to that jukebox.
Let's go, move, move!
All right, I want to see rings,
watches, wallets.
Let's go, you get over there!
Hurry up, hurry up!
And that means you too, Bozo, let's go.
Come on, I said right now.
Hey, open that register reaI quick.
- Grrr, Grrr.
- Before l blow your f***in' head off.
Take it easy, I'll open it.
Now, Bozo, hurry it up!
l want it.
Hey, man, it's not mine.
lt's not mine.
Come on, boy, you're coming with me.
AIl right, big man.
Hey, what are you lookin' at?
l'Il be out in a minute.
Oh, man, you shouldn't a done that.
[groans]

[groans]
[yells]
[pants]
Michael.
Get those f***ers, Billy.
Get 'em.
Call 9-1-1 , get an ambulance.
- Now!
- Yeah, yeah, sure.
[pants]
Hey, get off my car, you scumbag!
[yells]
- Freeze.
- What the hell?
You got five seconds get off
that f***in' boat.
Move!
Undo that Iine.
Come on, we got ya.
l need your fastest boat.
- Who the hell are you?
- Police, give me the keys.
Get the hell out of here,
what are you doing?
Give me the f***in' keys.
- Where's the boat?
- Manhattan Express, right over there.
[sirens]
HoId it!
Get the hell out of that thing.
The Harbor Police'll get him.
He killed Michael, Captain.
Billy, I'm ordering you!
[boat revs]
That f***in' Chinaman don't give up!
[gun clicks]
[machine gun fires]
Aviation 0-5-zebra.
Officer 1412 in pursuit of a suspect.
I'm in the blue-white speedboat
below you.
Can you come up over me?
[radio] Roger 1412.
New York control,
this is 0-5-zebra in pursuit.
We're turning south
at the Brooklyn Bridge
heading down the river.
That guy's crazy.
[yells]
Come in closer and drop me a line.
On the count of three
puIl me up as fast as you can.
One, two, three.
Motherf***er!
You deliberately disobeyed
a direct order.
That man killed my partner.
That's no excuse for blowing up
half the Goddamn harbor!
- Captain, listen.
- You listen to me, Wong!
I don't like it any more than you do
when a cop gets killed.
But we're not in the revenge business.
The Mayor's been up the commissioner's
ass over this one, Wong.
He want's your f***in' shield,
and if he can't get it,
he'll take mine.
l had no choice, Captain.
and Iet the Harbor PoIice
pick that guy up.
But, no, gotta be a big hero.
Billy Wong, supercop.
This is it, Billy.
You're back to crowd control.
- But, Captain--
- No f***in' buts!
That's final!
Maybe next time you'll think twice
before you pull one
of your hot dog stunts.
Now get outta here!
[door shuts]
[applause]
Nice suit, Garoni.
Billy, you Iike it, huh?
with the crowd.
I heard about your fireworks display
in the harbor.
You always did have a flair
for the dramatic, Billy boy.
How did you get this sh*t detail?
The usual--
some punk pulled a knife on me
so I kicked his f***in' teeth in.
And he screamed, "Police brutality."
All the way
to the commissioner's office.
- The usual bullshit.
- The usual bullshit.
You know, if somebody dropped
a bomb in here,
they'd wipe out half
the junior diplomats in New York.
That's why we're here.
[Garoni] That's Laura Shapiro.
Oh, I'd like to work undercover
with her.
No, don't teIl me.
You guys are cops?
We're that obvious?
You're not so bad,
but that friend of yours,
he sticks out like a sore thumb.
Look, uh, you guys allowed to drink?
Can I get you a beer or something?
No, thanks.
Tell you what-- if you wait 'til I go
off duty, l'll buy you a drink.
Oh, yeah?
l just might take you up on that.
Um, excuse me, gentIemen.
l have to mingle.
That bum, Shapiro, probably uses
his own daughter to launder money.
Listen, you lousy Chink bastard,
you keep bugging
Mr. Shapiro's daughter,
they'll scrape you off the floor
with a putty knife.
His name's Benny Garucci.
He's an ex-karate champ.
I'd like to bust his f***in' head open
with a crow bar.
But you're going to have to hold him--
he's a tough son of a b*tch.
that kind of muscle here?
Are you kiddin'? He can afford to have
the whoIe f***in' Marine Corps
standin' by to protect him,
if he wanted to.
That f*** owns half
of Manhattan, Billy.
l wouldn't mind teaching Garucci
a little lesson in manners some day.
[female speaker]
Ladies and gentlemen,
Laura Shapiro marketing is very pleased
to introduce to New York City
the sensational Edmond Wong
and his fabulous coIlection
of shimmering cocktail wear.
- Nice dress.
- Nice tits.
[screaming]
The whole warehouse!
No, no, no!
[woman screams]
[clamoring]
[alarm ringing]
[male] New York's finest.
They need to be prepared
from being snatched
right out from under
your Goddamn noses.
We had our guns out.
Had your d*cks out
for all the good it did.
I'll take my dick out
when I'm going to use it, Captain.
We couldn't shoot
without hitting the girl.
I think you two men
did the right thing.
Well, thank you, sir.
Any word, uh, from Shapiro?
He has no idea why
