How about the looting?

This island's too decent

for you.

Go back to Philly, huh?

We're a tight-knit community.

We'll look out for each other.

Yeah, as long

as the bridge is up

and the spics don't steal our

beer coolers, we'll survive.

[Dispatcher] Sheehan, situation

at the Taj Mahal, let's roll.

[Sheehan]

Oh, huge, baby.

- Don't shoot your dick off, Red.

- [laughter]

- [Sheehan] At least I got one.

- [scattered laughter]

Patriots again.

What a bunch of low-lifers

you guys are.

She goes hopping into the doctor and

he says, "What's wrong, ma'am?"

She says, "I got stung between

the first and second holes!"

- [chuckles]

- [scattered laughter]

[coughing]

Ahem.

[electronic jingle plays]

Small world.

Everything's small around here.

Yes, Detective, I still have

to get dolled up in this sh*t

so I can pay the bills.

[inaudible]

You good?

You still have to deal with

the I-talians once in a while.

Name of the game.

Let's go.

[bus approaching]

Hi, sweetheart.

You make me laugh.

[ball splashes]

There he is.

Hey.

I've been thinking.

That's a first.

[chuckles]

I care about my friends,

you a**hole.

I can go to Lollipop

and have his little henchman

on a leash in two seconds flat.

[Babel] You got enough sh*t

going on with that guy.

Look...

I'll keep you out of it,

so the Captain got nothing

on you.

Don't touch the wrong wire,

you'll get burned.

Trust Sheehan on this.

I like ridin' with ya.

I'll be fine.

Oh! You see this?

She fights the storm

and comes home and takes care

of big daddy.

Mm!

[soft jazz playing]

He went to sh*t that fast.

Not my fault, I promise.

When life gives you

a big lemon...

Oh, well.

Suzy must be number 20?

I'd be happy to be fired

just so I didn't

have to take them anymore.

Some are duds,

some take us by surprise,

like this one.

A hurricane, in December.

You gotta be kidding me, right?

World's gone all wrong,

I'll tell ya.

We all thought she would

die in the Gulf.

She slams the Carolinas.

Comes right on up at us.

- Cocksucker.

- [Sheehan] Takes one to know one.

You sleazy pig.

[chuckles]

I'm sorry, baby.

I just can't help myself.

You never, ever could, Sheehan.

[chuckles]

You're the first sober cop

ever came to my house.

[Sheehan]

Yeah, he's a special one.

We have to find him

a nice Jersey girl now.

Oh, I got enough worries

already, thanks.

What's your type?

[Sheehan] You know, blond,

rich, from the main line?

[Babel] I've been

there, done that.

Is your family ready? It can

get real rough down there.

I told Savannah to get out,

but... zero.

Like common sense just don't

go through her mind.

You know, if your wife and her gal

pal get blown away by the storm,

your problems kind of take care

of themselves, don't they?

I can't believe the sh*t that comes out

of your mouth. His daughter's there.

[Sheehan]

Oh! Wha...

No, enough now.

And enough of that.

It was a joke.

Come on, a joke.

Don't worry. I ride with

your husband every day.

The ever subtle

Detective Sheehan.

Tck!

[soft jazz playing]

- I left him once.

- [Sheehan snoring softly]

Serious?

It was exhausting.

Going on dates. Making

conversations with those men.

Who has the energy?

[chuckles]

I should have gone to New York.

I could have made it big.

[Babel]

Don't blow away in the wind.

I'm a pro.

[hard rock playing]

[dog barking]

[muffled television audio]

[door closes]

[barking continues]

[child speaking indistinctly]

- Hey, sweetie.

- Yeah.

Oh, yeah, I wanna go to

the beach first thing tomorrow

and get you some

sea shells, OK?

- Mommy.

- Can I get you the curly ones?

[distant siren wailing]

[Babel thinking] Got some of that

Maryland crab sh*t, Maryland crab sh*t...

Come on, nigga... [chuckles]

Yeah, they know we tight.

Thinking me and you

is associates and sh*t.

[chuckles]

- Yeah. You know I can't have that sh*t.

- [man grunts]

Listen, it's nothin'

personal, baby.

You naughty boy.

[Jimmy] You wanna know

about this country?

Yeah, we got this client, right?

She's a soccer mom.

Got the corporate husband.

The German car and the house,

the whole shebang.

She breaks her wrist

playing tennis at the club

and then starts popping

pain pills, right?

Two weeks later

the dumb f*** is hooked.

Her husband has no idea,

he's f***ing oblivious.

So now this crazy f***ing broad

picks her kids up at school,

drives with them in the car

to Back Maryland.

Leaves them in the car while she

goes and blows a dozen gang bangers

so they can get her high,

drives home,

"Honey, I'm back!"

Then goes in, cooks dinner,

bakes a f***ing pie...

[Babel] Seems like Jimmy

Coconuts is the ring leader.

No, he gets the dope,

they sell it, he gets the cash,

keeps a handling fee,

Lollipop looks the other way,

everybody wins.

Not that girl.

No. All she wins is

a trip to the morgue.

Oho! See that move?

Boy is fast.

That's what growing up

in North Philly does.

Makes you fast.

So how you wanna play this?

We gotta do something

and you know it.

I don't know.

Just wanna think it through.

Big city, different rules,

I get it, but...

Yeah, but, man...

Look, it's my family.

Not yours.

OK? Just... let me handle it.

Okay.

Just don't pull another Philly.

Not down here, Babs.

Third generation cop.

I know where to ask

when I need to.

This is it.

Come on, boys.

Come on, you birds!

Fly.

Fly!

[bottle shatters]

That bad?

[Sheehan]

This changes everything.

[Babel]

Come on, man, let's go.

Said tonight I need

an escape to Mexico

And if I had the balls

to walk me

There I would go

But if I stole the '69...

Fancy a little chanel?

[woman snorting]

[sighs]

[Babs clears throat]

Thanks for the game.

[Woman]

You don't want some?

- It's all you, babe.

- I've got enough to share.

There's only

one thing left to do

[Jimmy]

Seventy-five f***ing grand.

You gotta start paying us back.

[Sheehan]

Get outta here!

Jimmy, get the f***

outta here. Get out.

Yeah, go, go!

You tell your boss that I'll

come around when I say!

Now, you better take it easy.

[Sheehan] Yeah, you [indistinct]

you come around looking for me?

Hey, stop treating me like

I'm some kind of dope!

You hear me?!

[Babel]

Patty.

You're cool.

But even if you could

You'd probably still...

Don't be nervous.

It never ends.

Sheehan, come on, buddy.

Let's get outta here.

What the f*** happened

to this town?

What the hell happened

to this city?

Come on, let me take you home.

He's only gonna be in possession

of the narcotics for a brief while

- so time is of the essence.

- Time is the one thing we don't have.

Look, I'm just asking permission

to tail him and nail him.

It'll be a nice bust. Keep the

glory, I don't need none of that.

We got Suzy

to deal with right now.

Look, the boat is coming in

before the storm, Captain.

It's bad timing.

Frankly, Detective,

it sounds to me more personal

than anything else.

Does it affect my family, yes.

Do we have a responsibility
