Alley Cat (1984) Movie Script
- Damn it.
Hello.
- Billie, hi this is Rose
Goldstein from next door.
I hate to bother
you at this hour,
but I thought I
ought to tell you
somebody's stealing
the tires off your car.
- What?
- I said somebody's stealing
the tires off your car!
Do you want me to
call the police?
Hello Billie, hello?
- Belinda?
What are you doing?
Turn on the light.
- Grandpa please,
leave the lights off.
Someone is trying
to steal my wheels.
Okay guys, that's enough.
I said that's enough!
That's my car, just
leave everything
the way it is and get out.
- Hey bitch, didn't your
daddy ever teach you nothing?
Never bother a man
when he's working.
- Just leave now and
nobody will get hurt.
- The only one who's gonna
get bumped here is you.
- Hey!
Let's get the hell out.
- Where have you jerks been?
- We had a problem.
- So, what else is new?
The problem started
the day you were born.
- Hey man, we got shot at!
- Did you get hit?
- No.
- So big deal.
"Hey, do you guys mind?"
- Anyways, it was this old
guy with a gun and some broad.
- You guys really can't manage
to take care of
yourselves, can ya?
- Oh come on, Phil!
- You got your asses
kicked by an old man
and a girl, right?
- Phil, I gotta take a pee.
- So go take a pee.
- You bastard!
Who is she?
- She's the new Miss
Blow Job of California.
They're holding
nationals next month.
- I heard that!
- Yeah, and you're lucky I'm
not gonna be one of the judges!
Okay guys, tell
me what happened.
- We were ripping
off some tires.
- Hey, like you
told us all right.
And then this old man
and some broad come out
and they start playing games.
- She was in karate.
She was a real tiger.
- Okay-
Since you pussies
can't handle it,
I'm gonna show you how.
Tonight we're gonna play
some games with them.
When I get done with that tiger,
she'll be nothing more
than an alley cat.
Tom, you go steal us a car.
Not just the tires,
the whole car.
- You got it, babe.
- And you got it too,
'cause I got the clap.
- Hey man, you're late!
I don't like waiting!
- I didn't see you waiting!
I've been out here honking
for a half an hour!
Drive, asshole!
- This is some good
shit, man, it's laced.
- You're gonna blow
the whole room, boy.
- Hey man, put that shit away!
We got work to do!
I want your head
on straight 'cause
my ass could depend on it!
Drive, asshole!
We're coming baby, we're coming.
- Adios amigos!
Yeah, drive asshole.
That old man is as good as dead.
The old fart's gonna
get his balls busted.
- Stupid kids, we
should have kicked ass.
- They're in there.
- Are you sure?
I tell you
man, I saw them go in.
- Wait here, I'll check it out.
Oh hey, I'm sorry.
Age before beauty.
- Go ahead, please.
- How does it look?
- Piece of cake.
Drive, asshole!
- We should get some wind
soon, maybe some rain.
Wash all this smog
and dirt away.
- I like the fall.
- There they are.
All right, old man.
Take it easy and
nobody's gonna get hurt.
Give me your wallet!
I like the watch!
Come on, come on!
All right, you got
your old broad's purse?
Give me the ring!
- That's my ring!
- Don't touch her!
Come on come on!
Dr. Swanson,
please pick up on line two.
Dr. Swanson, you're
wanted in emergency room.
- I'm Belinda Clark.
My grandparents were
brought in here yesterday.
Could you tell-
- I'll be with you in a minute.
Just be seated.
- Of course, I was up
with him last night.
- Excuse me.
- His legs were all over me.
- Excuse me.
' May I help you?
- I'm looking for Kate
and Charlie Clark.
- What department
do they work in?
- They don't work here,
they came in here last night.
They were in some
kind of accident.
- Hon, I can't give
out that information.
Just be seated and the admitting
clerk will be with
you in a moment.
Right over there.
- Oh I'm sorry.
- No, no, no, it's okay.
- Oh here, let me feel.
- No, no, no, really, it's okay.
- Would you let me-
- No I'll just go
down to emergency
and get some ice
and cotton for it.
- Look, I am really sorry.
But those assholes down there
were giving me a hard time.
The cop, the police came to
my apartment this
morning at three o'clock
and told me that my grandparents
had been rushed down here.
So I come down here and
nobody in this place
gives a damn.
- You're Belinda Clark right?
- How did you know?
- Not balling, bowling.
And they went-
- Paging Dr. Meldrum.
Pick up line 221.
- Well come on, I'll
show you the way.
Calling Dr. Meldrum.
- Gramps?
Oh thank God you're all right.
I was so worried.
All they would tell me is that
you were in some
kind of accident.
Gramps?
What's the matter?
- Katie's hurt bad, baby.
They took her away as
soon as we got here.
Paging, Dr. Adler.
Emergency, Dr. Adler.
- Oh wow, look at your nose.
I'm really sorry.
- It looks worse
than it really is.
- Listen, I'd be happy
to pay for the damages.
- Don't worry about this,
the city pays for it.
Besides, I told them that a bank
robber hit me in the
nose with a bag of loot.
How's your grandmother?
- Oh, the doctor came
in just after you left.
And he said that
she's still in a coma.
Doesn't know when she's
gonna regain consciousness.
I don't know anything.
Can't even get a straight
answer in this place.
- Hey I get off in an hour.
What if you buy me breakfast?
Make my nose feel
a whole lot better.
- Thank you, but
I think I'm gonna
have to take a rain check.
I'm gonna let gramps
sleep for a while
and then try and
convince him to go home.
- Okay, I'll give you a call.
- You don't have my number.
- Oh yes I do.
Bye.
- You hungry, Qramps?
- No.
- Here, gramps.
I want you to take this medicine
and then I want you
to go get some sleep.
- I don't pop pills.
I never have and I never will.
Besides, it's only
four in the afternoon.
- Gramps, this isn't dope.
These are sleeping pills.
If you don't get some sleep
you're gonna get sick.
- I've never been
sick a day in my life.
Besides, I don't need a
pill to make me sleep.
- Gramps.
I love you.
- I love you, babe.
It's so good to have you back.
We only get 20
to 30% identification.
Most people are either
scared or they don't care.
- God, half this city
must be criminals.
Sounds about right.
It's him!
That's him!
He's the one in the
store and by the alley.
- He has a long record.
Nineteen arrests,
three convictions,
auto theft, armed robbery, and
assault with a deadly weapon.
- If I ever get my hands on him,
I'll kill him for what
he did to my Katie.
- Don't get upset Charlie.
They'll get him.
Eat, eat your sandwich.
Don't let it go to waste.
- If they do get him, I
wonder if they'll put him away
or just let him out again.
- Yeehaw!
How does a two bit rookie
afford a place like this?
- Nothing to it.
I sell dope.
It really doesn't
cost that much.
- Must be tough to be a cop.
- It's a job.
I kinda like it.
- Sure, a life filled
with nothing but crime.
- Oh it's got it's good points.
Like what?
- I got to meet you.
- You sweet talking devil.
- No, I'm serious.
A cop's life is a lonely life.
I mean you work
late, long hours.
You have to deal with
the dregs of society
and you get no thanks.
I get real lonely.
- Oh my God.
- Okay, would you believe horny?
- Yes, that I believe.
What's the matter?
- Nothing.
- Come on, tell me.
- I can't help thinking
about my grandmother.
How come people do
things like that?
- Well,
now you know why I'm a cop.
- So you think you can
do something about it?
What if I could?
- Gramps identified one
of them this morning.
He recognized the
scar on his face.
- Great!
- I want those bastards in jail.
- Look Billie, I'm with you.
But there's a lot of
garbage people out there.
Don't let that hate eat on you.
It'll burn ya out.
It's not safe
around here after dark.
- He's right, you know.
Something happens every night.
I keep a diary.
We've had 20
muggings, three rapes,
five stolen cars-
- Look, I've got my black
belt trials coming up
and I gotta keep in shape.
- No.
- Gramps.
I'm going.
I'm not a little kid anymore.
Now Rose will stay here
with you until I get back.
- Okay, okay you can
go if you take a gun.
- I don't need a gun.
- If I need a sitter
you need a gun.
' No!
No!
Paying the way aunt Susie
Paying the way all day
Who are you beg on
When Susie goes away
- Drop the knife.
Get over there.
Are you okay, kid?
Give her the shirt.
You got a dime, Caruso?
A what?
- A dime, one tenth of a dollar.
Hand it over nice and slow.
There's a phone
over by the lake.
Go and call the cops.
- Let's go, hands up in the air.
- Come here.
Turn around and put your
hands behind your back.
Come on, put 'em down
here by your back.
| got it.
Come on, come on, come on.
- What the hell took you
cops so long to get here?
You know we've been
waiting almost two hours?
-A | | right, enough
of the bullshit.
Swinton, you take the
hooker over by the car
and you get her story
and I'll take care of
marathon mouth here.
- Hey Pete, look I told
you I know this girl.
She's a friend of mine.
-A | | the more reason, rookie.
Move it!
- I don't believe this!
- Put a lid on it, lady.
Hlaskthe questions, you answer.
Get it?
- Screw you.
-A | | right, smart ass.
Who's gun is this?
- Mine.
It's my grandfather's.
- This gun's been
fired, tell me about it.
- One came at me with a
knife and I stopped him.
You fired at him?
- Got it.
Do you have a
permit to carry this weapon?
- No, I don't have a permit.
Stand up.
Turn around.
- What, are you shitting me?
Turn around
and spread your feet.
Put your hands on the table.
- Hey what the hell
are you doing, Boyle?
- Get your hands off
me, don't ever touch me.
- Are you nuts?
You can't do this.
- Go get me the extra set
of handcuffs in the car.
You're under arrest for
carrying a concealed weapon.
- Hey, she just stopped a rape.
She may even have
saved that girl's life.
- Shut it off, rookie.
Now get me those
handcuffs or I'm gonna
write a report on you
on insubordination.
Carrying a concealed weapon,
discharging a firearm
within the city limits,
and oh yes, trespassing.
This park closes at 10 o'clock.
- Boyle, you can't do
this, this isn't right.
Look I'm gonna call the Captain.
- You're not gonna
do anything, rookie.
You have no power.
She broke the law and
she's going to jail.
Pigs keep a man in this joint.
Slip my last shoe
between your legs, Chuck.
-A | | right, let's go.
Wait in here.
- Hi Billie, I'm Rey.
- Rey?
Rey who?
- I'm your friendly bondsman.
Now you sign on the dotted line
and you're home.
- Wait a minute.
What's the catch here?
How much is this gonna cost me?
- Your friend took care of it.
It's nice to have a friend.
- Friend?
What friend?
Lord, we
commend to your kingdom,
the soul of our beloved
sister Katherine Clark.
May she know this day,
the peace of your presence.
And may she know joy with you
as she gave joy to those
she loved here on earth.
Amen.
- Gramps?
Come on, we're home, gramps.
Rose, do me a favor
and take him inside.
I'll be in in a minute, okay?
What do you do
at a time like this?
- You wait.
You wait for the
pain to go away.
Wait for the memories to fade.
- Do you want me
to stick around?
Maybe I could help?
- Listen Johnny, I really
appreciate what you did.
With the bail and all.
And for coming here today,
it was real sweet of you.
But I need to be alone now.
- I'm sorry.
- Goodbye, Johnny.
I'll see you in court.
- Hey, Phil.
- Can't you see I'm busy?
- Awe come on man,
I've got a problem.
- I expected that.
- Look, can we talk alone?
- When you're with her,
you're as alone as
you ever wanna be.
- Yeah well, the other night,
me and Mickey, we
went into the park
and we climbed up on this bitch.
- Boy you guys really
manage to stay busy,
- don't you?
- Yeah.
- And you couldn't
get it up right?
- Yeah.
I mean, no.
Look man, we got busted.
- Wait a minute.
Over there.
All right, what
the hell happened?
- It was the same
broad that gave us
the rap with the
tires the other night.
Swear to God!
It's like she's
all over the place!
Anyways, Danny, he
got me out on bail.
But Mickey, he's still in.
We got a court date
day after tomorrow.
If that broad testifies-
- What whore was it?
- You know her I think, Karen.
- Yeah I know her.
- So anyways, if
that whore testifies,
we go up for a hard pin.
- No sweat.
That fat ass bitch ain't
gonna show up in court.
I can assure you of that.
- Okay, thanks man.
- But you owe me, Tom.
You owe me big for this one.
- Sure Phil, sure.
Anything you say.
- Oh, that idiot at the store
acts like these boxes
are made out of gold!
He only wanted to give me two.
But I got four, but I had
to beg and then threaten.
Can you imagine the
nerve of that guy?
I know he has at
least 40 empty boxes
stacked up in that
back room of his!
I saw them.
Hey.
Hey, Billie, it's
gonna be all right.
Oh, it's gonna be all right.
- It's not fair.
It's just not fair.
They're the sweetest
people in the world,
they wouldn't hurt a fly.
- Billie.
Are you sure you're
gonna be okay?
- Hey, wait a minute!
Hold on, wait up!
What are you, stuck
up or something?
- Just leave me alone.
- Boy, sure sound stuck up.
Now look, why don't we
go have dinner or something?
- I just wanna be left alone.
Okay?
- Hey sweetheart, I'm not
talking marriage here.
Just talking
dinner, no big deal.
All right then a malted milk.
You look like the healthy type.
- You stay the
hell away from me!
- You know, you got great tits.
I can feel them
against my chest.
- Please don't hurt me.
- Do I look like the kind of guy
that would hurt a woman?
- Look, I didn't
mean to insult you.
Just don't hurt me.
- I'm a great big pussycat.
You ever had anyone bash
a fist into your face?
Break your nose,
bust your teeth?
It's up to you, babe.
First I'll get a look
at those big tits.
- Get up!
You know something, pussycat,
you ought to stay
out of the park.
It's bad for your health.
- Yeah, it's just like I
was telling you, rookie.
You're never gonna make
it through to probation.
You just don't have the right
attitude about your work.
You know, just because
your old man was a cop
you think you've got it made.
- You can say all
you want about me
but just leave my father alone!
- Hey, pull a U-turn.
I wanna talk to that
hooker right over there.
Hey listen, I'm gonna
check out a complaint
up here in this building.
You cruise around here
close, you understand?
Now if we get a call,
come on back here
and blow on the
siren a little bit.
Right here.
You got it?
Yeah, I got it, Boyle.
- Well, your honor, in
my considered opinion,
the defendant used the
weapon in self defense.
- May I point out, your
honor, that my client was
actually aiding the law by
making a citizens arrest
and halting the perpetration
of a crime in progress?
- I am well aware of the
circumstances, counselor.
If I need any conclusions drawn,
I'll draw them myself.
Why is Officer Boyle not
present in court this morning?
- He's off duty with
the flu your honor.
- Your honor, you do
have Officer Boyle's
written report in
your briefing file.
- Now tell me, Officer Swinton,
why is it that your
version of the incident
differs so dramatically
from Officer Boyle's
written statement?
- If Officer Boyle were here
he would ask for leniency.
- Quite the contrary
Officer Swinton.
Officer Boyle's
notation under remarks
ask for full enforcement
to the statutes.
What do you have to say,
Mr. District Attorney?
- Well your honor,
she, the defendant,
did in fact halt a
crime in progress.
But she did break the
law on several counts.
And the statutes
are very specific
on these offenses.
- Thank you for your inspiring
and enlightening contribution.
Counselor, it is my
understanding that
your client wishes to wave jury
and throw herself on
the mercy of the court?
- Yes, your honor,
that is correct.
- Well you're in
luck, counselor.
Due to Officer Swinton's
favorable testimony,
the District Attorney's
lack of preparedness
and poor presentation,
and because I do feel
merciful today,
the court finds the
defendant guilty as
charged and poses
a $500 fine in lieu
of incarceration,
and places the defendant
on one year probation.
However, let me warn
you, young lady,
if you ever appear
before me again
for any violation,
you'll get the
maximum sentence allowed by law.
Next case.
- That son of a bitch!
That lousy son of a bitch!
- Look, this doesn't look
good kid, I'm in uniform.
Even if I am off duty.
Listen, I'm gonna let you
in on a deep dark secret.
In my off duty hours
I'm learning karate.
How about if we go
down to the studio
and I'll show you how I
work out my aggressions?
Maybe afterwards I'll show you
how I work out mine.
- Come on, I wanna show
you some of my moves.
Tony.
Whenever you're ready.
I think I've been had.
- Johnny?
Are you all right?
- Okay, it's all yours.
- You're still wet.
Is there a shower cap in here?
- There used to be
a little plastic one
in the cupboard there.
Brought it back from Vegas.
- You're a gambler?
- Nickel slots sometimes.
I went there for a wedding.
- Ah, forget it.
Hey!
Where are the towels?
They're in
the cupboard in the hall.
- Would you bring one in here?
You wouldn't want
me to get the carpet
any wetter than it is!
Thanks.
Champagne.
How nice.
Thank you.
- Shh, be quiet!
Be very quiet.
I don't think you should
appear in court, do you?
Do you?
Now for being so good,
I'm gonna give you
a little treat.
Take it out, bitch!
- The people versus
Gouger and Vernon.
Randolf Gouger
and Thomas Vernon, you are
accused of rape, trespassing
and intoxication.
How do you plead?
- Your honor, I
would like to request
that these proceedings be
postponed until a later date.
Why do you
ask for a postponement
at this time, Mr. Strickland?
- Well, um,
see, your honor, my key witness
has failed to appear.
- Mr. Strickland
why is it you're
always a clay late
and a dollar short!
Now counsel, approach the bench.
Mr. Strickland, why is it you're
never prepared for court?
- Well your honor I am prepared.
It's just that my
client has failed to-
- Never mind, I really
don't wanna hear it.
Mr. Grossman, do you
have any objection
to setting a later date?
- Yes sir, your honor, I do.
It has come to my
attention that the witness,
that the district
attorney's witness,
has stated that she would
like to drop the charges
and that she has left town.
- Mr. Strickland?
- Well, yeah I mean,
Ms. Stride did
call me and tell me
she was leaving town.
But,
well see, I kinda thought
she'd change her mind.
- I do not understand,
Mr. Strickland, how it is
you're able to hold your job,
but I intend to find out.
Mr. Grossman, what are the
intentions of your clients?
- To save the court
time your honor,
they will plead guilty
to the two lesser charges
if the district attorney
will drop the rape charge.
What the hell?
- The DA is in trouble
with the judge.
We'll find out in a minute.
- Yes, your honor.
Yes, that will be acceptable.
- Thank you.
Postpone of these
procedures is denied.
The prosecution has
dropped the charge of rape.
The charges are now
trespassing and intoxication.
Randolf Gouger,
how do you plead?
- Guilty, to drunk
and trespassing, sir.
- What the hell?
- He made a deal.
Thomas Vernon, how do you plead?
- Guilty your honor
to intoxication
and trespassing, sir.
- What deal?
- $250 fine for each
defendant in lieu
of 30 days incarceration.
Court is recessed until two p.m.
- What the hell
is going on here?
What kind of justice if this?
I stop a rape I get a $500
fine and six months probation!
And these assholes rape a
girl and they get a $250 fine?
What Shit!
- Bailiff, restrain that woman!
- Don't do it Billie, you're
already in enough trouble.
- Bailiff, place that
woman under arrest
on charges of contempt
and hold her in custody.
You're gonna do time
for this outrage!
- Oh you can shove
it up your ass!
- Hey, Johnny boy.
You know, she shouldn't
have done that.
You know Judge
Taylor's gonna give
her at least 30 days.
- Leave me alone, Boyle.
Just leave me alone, Boyle.
- You know, it's not my fault
your girlfriend's stupid!
She's got a big mouth!
You know you should
have shoved your-
You're gonna pay for this.
Here, enjoy this, rookie!
Enough!
-A | | right, enough.
- You did that on
purpose, that's a foul!
- No I didn't, she was on
the wrong side of the net.
It's our ball.
- Bullshit!
Give me the ball!
- Keep it down Sam, you're
gonna get the guards on us.
- Forget about it, it's okay.
It all works out in the end.
Your ball.
Let's go.
- Watch out!
- Don't touch her,
she's my friend.
Turn it up, girls,
you've got five more minutes.
- You handled yourself
real well with that lady.
You really know
that karate stuff?
- I can take care of myself.
The bastard helped me anyway.
- If you punch someone
don't get caught.
If you get caught,
you'll lose all your privileges.
Ancl they put you in a
cell all by yourself.
Ancl it gets damn lonely
in there by yourself.
You got nice hair.
Here, use some of my shampoo.
Yup, sure got nice hair.
Belinda Clark,
you have a visitor.
- Hi.
- You shouldn't be seen here.
You might ruin your reputation.
- How is it?
Are you okay?
- It's wonderful.
Couldn't be better.
Remember all those garbage
people you were talking about?
Between you and me, most
of them live in here.
Full-time.
- Billie, I've got an angle
that may get you out early.
I'll let you know.
- Listen pal, get me
out of this joint,
I'll give you my body.
- That's bribery.
-Awe hell, I thought
it was prostitution.
I just want you to be careful.
I feel very close to this now.
Seeing more and
more of these people
and liking it less and less.
- Marry me.
- You know, I'm worried
about a lot of things.
About me if I get
pushed too far.
About you if some dumb
ass takes a shot at you.
- Marry me.
- I'm worried about
guys who wanna marry me
without knowing what
they're getting into.
- I think I have a
pretty good idea.
- I know your type.
Every time you get laid
you wanna get married.
- Not really.
I've had over
3,000 conquests and
I've only proposed to half.
- Listen, Johnny, I don't think
I can love anyone right now.
Not like I should.
- It's okay.
I'll hang around.
- Then again, maybe
I could learn.
- Here, let me
help you with that.
- Oh, it's okay.
I can do it myself.
- It's okay, I used
to be a hairdresser.
I need the practice.
You got a boyfriend?
- Yes.
He asked me to marry him.
- Do you miss him?
- I try not to think about it.
- It gets lonesome
in here, babe.
Real lonesome.
God, you're tense.
Here, let me give
you a back rub.
I used to be a masseuse too.
- Thank you Sam, that
feels a lot better.
- Relax, baby.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
I love you.
- Stop it, Sam.
That's enough.
Just let me go.
- Just relax, baby.
Just relax and enjoy it.
- That's enough!
No, baby.
What Sam wants, Sam gets.
And Sam wants you.
- Don't do this, Sam.
You're making a mistake!
Don't you dare try that again.
- Judge Taylor,
I'm John Swinton.
I've been trying to see you.
- Oh yes Officer Swinton,
I know who you are.
You have to excuse
me, I'm in a hurry.
- Judge please, just for
a moment of your time.
- I told you, I'm in a
hurry I don't have a moment.
- Judge Taylor, as a
voting tax paying citizen
who pays your wages
I'm asking you
for one moment of your time!
-A | | right, Mr.
Swinton, a moment.
Please be brief
and to the point.
- Thank you, judge.
I have two entirely
separate matters
I would like to
discuss with you.
The first is about
Belinda Clark.
The girl you sentenced
for contempt of court.
Her grandfather's very ill.
Probably dying.
Now I'd like to
ask you to use your
power and influence
to have her released.
- You're wasting my
time and your energy
on an incorrigible.
That girl cannot
stay out of trouble
even when she's in jail.
Next subject!
- Judge, please reconsider, it
may save the old man's life.
- You have my decision.
The matter is not open
to further discussion.
- I was warned I might
be wasting my time.
All right.
Second subject.
- Be brief.
- I intend to be brief.
I understand that
you're seeking another
term on the bench in
the upcoming election.
- Yes.
- Well, I have here a
rather comprehensive dossier
on not only your questionable
decisions from the bench,
but also very
complete and detailed
profile on your rather
kinky personal life.
- Blackmail?
Blackmail's a serious
business, Mr. Swinton.
- This can hardly be termed
blackmail, Judge Taylor.
I have not yet
offered to exchange
the material for money or favor.
- Officer Swinton, John,
perhaps tempers have
been a bit short today.
I suggest that we meet tomorrow
and discuss these matters.
- Bribery?
Bribery's a serious
matter, Judge Taylor.
I'll see you in court.
Who knows?
I may even see you in jail.
Have a good day, your honor.
- Okay Clark, you're
being released.
Yeah, come on.
- So long, kid.
Still love your hair.
- Goodbye, Sam.
Good luck!
- Don't forget to call my mom.
You got the number?
- I got it.
Bye Billie,
it's gonna be a hot time!
- Good luck!
- Goodbye, Billie.
- Goodbye, suckers.
- Marry me.
- There you go again.
Every time you get laid
you wanna get married.
- Billie, I'm serious.
-So am I.
I need time.
- Move in with me then.
We'll live in sin.
- Now you're cooking.
This sure as hell beats jail.
- I consider that a compliment.
- You sure as hell
beat my old cellmate.
- I wouldn't touch that
with a 10 foot pole.
Look, I gotta go.
- What?
- You told me you
wanted me to arrest
the scum that murdered
your grandmother.
- Johnny, what do you know?
- I know I love you.
- What do you know?
- Not much.
A few weeks ago I was
out with my ex-partner.
You know, Boyle the big bad ass?
Well, he was involved
with a hooker
and I tried to set him up.
- Is this gonna be a long story?
- No.
So I checked her out.
Turns out she has
nothing to do with Boyle.
But her file did
show that she was
once arrested with a guy
with a scar on his face.
Prints and everything match up.
His name is Croug right?
- Right.
- So I thought I'd go
have a talk with her.
Take me!
- No way.
This one is mine.
Miss Whore is
gonna show me where
he and his buddies hang out.
- Okay, fine.
- Hey, why don't you
get some of your stuff
and come by tonight.
I work the late shift,
I'll be home around midnight.
We got a deal, right?
- You bet.
- 50 bucks, are you kidding me?
20 bucks.
- 25, babe.
That's only because you're cute.
I like to screw to music.
There's a beer in the
ref ridge if you're thirsty.
I usually save that
for my $50 customers,
but like I said, you're cute.
You can put your
clothes on the couch.
You're shy?
Want me to take your
clothes off for you?
Oh Shit.
Hey, look you're
just a little kinky.
- Sorry, lady.
- Who put you on to me?
A narc, huh?
Leave it alone.
Don't make a sound.
- Hey, I'm thirsty.
Can I have a beer?
- Well, well, well.
- You son of a bitch!
God.
Hey, what the hell
is going on here?
You gonna bust me or not?
You a cop?
Show me some ID if you're a cop.
- I'm not showing you anything!
So why don't you
just shut your face
and keep it shut, you got it!
- Qkay, baby.
Come on over here.
There's plenty of room
and I don't like sleeping alone.
Come on.
I'll make it good for you.
- Forget it, lady.
- Asshole.
- Hey bear, would you
look at that shit?
- Let's do it.
- Hey, honey.
How abouts some real exercise?
- Oh screw off.
- Come on.
Hey, bitch!
Where the hell are you?
-Ithoughtyou
boys wanted to play?
- Come on!
- Please, please,
give me a break.
I need a fix.
Anything.
Please, don't make me wait.
- All right.
Now you and I can make a deal.
I want some information
and you're just
the person who
can give it to me.
That makes us a very good team.
So let's talk.
- Mark!
Where you at, Mark?
Mark!
Mark, Mark, where
the hell are ya?
- He's busy bleeding.
Okay tough guy, let's
see what you can do.
Come on, do it scumbag!
- Who the hell are you?
- Oh, I'm the girl
you and your buddy
chased into the park, remember?
- Mark, Mark, where
the hell are you?
What the hell is this?
- Beats me.
You and your buddy
jump out of your car
and chase me into
the park, right?
- Hey man, that was him.
I didn't wanna do nothing.
- What's the matter with you?
Didn't your mommy ever
tell you that isn't nice?
Don't mess with
girls in the park!
That's not nice!
Shit, crazy bitch.
Hey, where were you?
- I was out by the pool.
- Oh I couldn't find you.
Look, I gotta go, I
gotta get on duty.
- Did you find out anything?
- You bet.
She talked her brains out.
This weekend you
and I we go down
and stake out the place.
If we find them,
I call the department.
They get arrested.
And I make the
collar for the bust.
Well, then they make me captain
of the detective department.
So then we take all that
money that I've made
and we go and buy a
condo by the ocean.
And we get married.
Have a few kids.
And then, then
when I'm about 50,
I retire.
We buy a ranch and a horse.
The great American dream, yeah.
- What a cop.
- Well thank you my darling.
Mmm.
Hey look, you stay
inside tonight.
There's a lot of bad
people out there.
I'm gonna catch 'em all tonight.
- Where do these guys hang out?
They have a
place at 6th and San Pedro.
Right around the
corner from a place
called Charlies.
I'll see you in the morning.
Breakfast in bed, right?
- I love it.
-Aw, God damn it, shit!
Not her again!
- Come on, come on.
Come on man we can
take care of her.
- You're doing great,
you're doing great, yeah.
Come on get her.
Look at my position
You know I haven't seen
Hi there.
- Oh man, check this.
- Oh Shit!
Out of the way!
Hey, hey lady, that's enough!
- This guy had friends.
I need a doctor.
- Where are his friends?
Where do they live?
- Somebody help me!
- Oh I'll help you.
Where are his friends?
- Okay, you got it.
They're pushing coke down
by the old Troy Park.
Got an old car staked out
waiting for customers.
- Man, you're gonna
get us into a jam.
You're gonna get us busted.
We're no where near where
we're supposed to be.
- Don't worry about it.
I'll take the responsibility.
Now stop complaining
and start looking.
The sooner we find
her the sooner
we can get back to our beat.
- Oh man, we're
never gonna find her,
she could be anywhere.
- It won't take a minute.
This is her grandparents' house.
All right, how long has it been
since you last talked to her?
- This afternoon,
before I left for work.
She's been crying
but she seemed okay.
- Billie, Billie
open up, it's John!
Billie!
- What's the matter,
what's the problem?
- Oh she may be in trouble.
Billie!
- I told her I'd
be home before dark
but I had to work
overtime, I need the money.
John, come on,
we're not in our district.
I looked at all the windows.
I went home and tried calling!
- Billie!
Billie, where are you?
Billie?
She's not here.
- It's like she's roaming
all over town, man,
looking for people.
She's crazy.
This town's crazy.
This town's getting dangerous.
- Shut up.
- Hey, I'm serious, man.
- So am I, shut up.
- Jack said he saw
her here last night.
She's looking for
it man, you know?
- I know.
- She's gonna get it,
'cause I'm getting
fed up with this shit.
Man, would you look at that?
These old broads
will never learn.
- Yeah, hold on a second, Phil.
That's her, man.
That's her.
- Well, buddy,
now you're gonna
get your chance.
Let's do it.
' Here pussy, Pussy, pussy.
Come on, alley cat!
Go around back!
- I decided, you're
not a very nice person.
- Now you need to get this
checked in a couple of days.
Now you can come back here
or you can go see
your own doctor.
- Thanks a lot, doc.
- You can't go.
You have to wait for the
police to get their report
before you can go.
- I beg your pardon?
- I said, you can't go.
- Well you just watch me, lady.
- Belinda Clark, right?
Hello.
- Billie, hi this is Rose
Goldstein from next door.
I hate to bother
you at this hour,
but I thought I
ought to tell you
somebody's stealing
the tires off your car.
- What?
- I said somebody's stealing
the tires off your car!
Do you want me to
call the police?
Hello Billie, hello?
- Belinda?
What are you doing?
Turn on the light.
- Grandpa please,
leave the lights off.
Someone is trying
to steal my wheels.
Okay guys, that's enough.
I said that's enough!
That's my car, just
leave everything
the way it is and get out.
- Hey bitch, didn't your
daddy ever teach you nothing?
Never bother a man
when he's working.
- Just leave now and
nobody will get hurt.
- The only one who's gonna
get bumped here is you.
- Hey!
Let's get the hell out.
- Where have you jerks been?
- We had a problem.
- So, what else is new?
The problem started
the day you were born.
- Hey man, we got shot at!
- Did you get hit?
- No.
- So big deal.
"Hey, do you guys mind?"
- Anyways, it was this old
guy with a gun and some broad.
- You guys really can't manage
to take care of
yourselves, can ya?
- Oh come on, Phil!
- You got your asses
kicked by an old man
and a girl, right?
- Phil, I gotta take a pee.
- So go take a pee.
- You bastard!
Who is she?
- She's the new Miss
Blow Job of California.
They're holding
nationals next month.
- I heard that!
- Yeah, and you're lucky I'm
not gonna be one of the judges!
Okay guys, tell
me what happened.
- We were ripping
off some tires.
- Hey, like you
told us all right.
And then this old man
and some broad come out
and they start playing games.
- She was in karate.
She was a real tiger.
- Okay-
Since you pussies
can't handle it,
I'm gonna show you how.
Tonight we're gonna play
some games with them.
When I get done with that tiger,
she'll be nothing more
than an alley cat.
Tom, you go steal us a car.
Not just the tires,
the whole car.
- You got it, babe.
- And you got it too,
'cause I got the clap.
- Hey man, you're late!
I don't like waiting!
- I didn't see you waiting!
I've been out here honking
for a half an hour!
Drive, asshole!
- This is some good
shit, man, it's laced.
- You're gonna blow
the whole room, boy.
- Hey man, put that shit away!
We got work to do!
I want your head
on straight 'cause
my ass could depend on it!
Drive, asshole!
We're coming baby, we're coming.
- Adios amigos!
Yeah, drive asshole.
That old man is as good as dead.
The old fart's gonna
get his balls busted.
- Stupid kids, we
should have kicked ass.
- They're in there.
- Are you sure?
I tell you
man, I saw them go in.
- Wait here, I'll check it out.
Oh hey, I'm sorry.
Age before beauty.
- Go ahead, please.
- How does it look?
- Piece of cake.
Drive, asshole!
- We should get some wind
soon, maybe some rain.
Wash all this smog
and dirt away.
- I like the fall.
- There they are.
All right, old man.
Take it easy and
nobody's gonna get hurt.
Give me your wallet!
I like the watch!
Come on, come on!
All right, you got
your old broad's purse?
Give me the ring!
- That's my ring!
- Don't touch her!
Come on come on!
Dr. Swanson,
please pick up on line two.
Dr. Swanson, you're
wanted in emergency room.
- I'm Belinda Clark.
My grandparents were
brought in here yesterday.
Could you tell-
- I'll be with you in a minute.
Just be seated.
- Of course, I was up
with him last night.
- Excuse me.
- His legs were all over me.
- Excuse me.
' May I help you?
- I'm looking for Kate
and Charlie Clark.
- What department
do they work in?
- They don't work here,
they came in here last night.
They were in some
kind of accident.
- Hon, I can't give
out that information.
Just be seated and the admitting
clerk will be with
you in a moment.
Right over there.
- Oh I'm sorry.
- No, no, no, it's okay.
- Oh here, let me feel.
- No, no, no, really, it's okay.
- Would you let me-
- No I'll just go
down to emergency
and get some ice
and cotton for it.
- Look, I am really sorry.
But those assholes down there
were giving me a hard time.
The cop, the police came to
my apartment this
morning at three o'clock
and told me that my grandparents
had been rushed down here.
So I come down here and
nobody in this place
gives a damn.
- You're Belinda Clark right?
- How did you know?
- Not balling, bowling.
And they went-
- Paging Dr. Meldrum.
Pick up line 221.
- Well come on, I'll
show you the way.
Calling Dr. Meldrum.
- Gramps?
Oh thank God you're all right.
I was so worried.
All they would tell me is that
you were in some
kind of accident.
Gramps?
What's the matter?
- Katie's hurt bad, baby.
They took her away as
soon as we got here.
Paging, Dr. Adler.
Emergency, Dr. Adler.
- Oh wow, look at your nose.
I'm really sorry.
- It looks worse
than it really is.
- Listen, I'd be happy
to pay for the damages.
- Don't worry about this,
the city pays for it.
Besides, I told them that a bank
robber hit me in the
nose with a bag of loot.
How's your grandmother?
- Oh, the doctor came
in just after you left.
And he said that
she's still in a coma.
Doesn't know when she's
gonna regain consciousness.
I don't know anything.
Can't even get a straight
answer in this place.
- Hey I get off in an hour.
What if you buy me breakfast?
Make my nose feel
a whole lot better.
- Thank you, but
I think I'm gonna
have to take a rain check.
I'm gonna let gramps
sleep for a while
and then try and
convince him to go home.
- Okay, I'll give you a call.
- You don't have my number.
- Oh yes I do.
Bye.
- You hungry, Qramps?
- No.
- Here, gramps.
I want you to take this medicine
and then I want you
to go get some sleep.
- I don't pop pills.
I never have and I never will.
Besides, it's only
four in the afternoon.
- Gramps, this isn't dope.
These are sleeping pills.
If you don't get some sleep
you're gonna get sick.
- I've never been
sick a day in my life.
Besides, I don't need a
pill to make me sleep.
- Gramps.
I love you.
- I love you, babe.
It's so good to have you back.
We only get 20
to 30% identification.
Most people are either
scared or they don't care.
- God, half this city
must be criminals.
Sounds about right.
It's him!
That's him!
He's the one in the
store and by the alley.
- He has a long record.
Nineteen arrests,
three convictions,
auto theft, armed robbery, and
assault with a deadly weapon.
- If I ever get my hands on him,
I'll kill him for what
he did to my Katie.
- Don't get upset Charlie.
They'll get him.
Eat, eat your sandwich.
Don't let it go to waste.
- If they do get him, I
wonder if they'll put him away
or just let him out again.
- Yeehaw!
How does a two bit rookie
afford a place like this?
- Nothing to it.
I sell dope.
It really doesn't
cost that much.
- Must be tough to be a cop.
- It's a job.
I kinda like it.
- Sure, a life filled
with nothing but crime.
- Oh it's got it's good points.
Like what?
- I got to meet you.
- You sweet talking devil.
- No, I'm serious.
A cop's life is a lonely life.
I mean you work
late, long hours.
You have to deal with
the dregs of society
and you get no thanks.
I get real lonely.
- Oh my God.
- Okay, would you believe horny?
- Yes, that I believe.
What's the matter?
- Nothing.
- Come on, tell me.
- I can't help thinking
about my grandmother.
How come people do
things like that?
- Well,
now you know why I'm a cop.
- So you think you can
do something about it?
What if I could?
- Gramps identified one
of them this morning.
He recognized the
scar on his face.
- Great!
- I want those bastards in jail.
- Look Billie, I'm with you.
But there's a lot of
garbage people out there.
Don't let that hate eat on you.
It'll burn ya out.
It's not safe
around here after dark.
- He's right, you know.
Something happens every night.
I keep a diary.
We've had 20
muggings, three rapes,
five stolen cars-
- Look, I've got my black
belt trials coming up
and I gotta keep in shape.
- No.
- Gramps.
I'm going.
I'm not a little kid anymore.
Now Rose will stay here
with you until I get back.
- Okay, okay you can
go if you take a gun.
- I don't need a gun.
- If I need a sitter
you need a gun.
' No!
No!
Paying the way aunt Susie
Paying the way all day

When Susie goes away
- Drop the knife.
Get over there.
Are you okay, kid?
Give her the shirt.
You got a dime, Caruso?
A what?
- A dime, one tenth of a dollar.
Hand it over nice and slow.
There's a phone

Turn around and put your
hands behind your back.
Come on, put 'em down

Come on, come on, come on.
- What the hell took you
cops so long to get here?
You know we've been
waiting almost two hours?
-A | | right, enough
of the bullshit.
Swinton, you take the
hooker over by the car
and you get her story
and I'll take care of
marathon mouth here.
- Hey Pete, look I told
you I know this girl.
She's a friend of mine.
-A | | the more reason, rookie.
Move it!
- I don't believe this!
- Put a lid on it, lady.
Hlaskthe questions, you answer.
Get it?
- Screw you.
-A | | right, smart ass.
Who's gun is this?
- Mine.
It's my grandfather's.
- This gun's been
fired, tell me about it.
- One came at me with a
knife and I stopped him.
You fired at him?
- Got it.
Do you have a
permit to carry this weapon?
- No, I don't have a permit.
Stand up.
Turn around.
- What, are you shitting me?
Turn around
and spread your feet.
Put your hands on the table.
- Hey what the hell
are you doing, Boyle?
- Get your hands off
me, don't ever touch me.
- Are you nuts?
You can't do this.
- Go get me the extra set
of handcuffs in the car.
You're under arrest for
carrying a concealed weapon.
- Hey, she just stopped a rape.
She may even have
saved that girl's life.
- Shut it off, rookie.
Now get me those
handcuffs or I'm gonna
write a report on you
on insubordination.
Carrying a concealed weapon,
discharging a firearm
within the city limits,
and oh yes, trespassing.
This park closes at 10 o'clock.
- Boyle, you can't do
this, this isn't right.
Look I'm gonna call the Captain.
- You're not gonna
do anything, rookie.
You have no power.
She broke the law and
she's going to jail.
Pigs keep a man in this joint.
Slip my last shoe
between your legs, Chuck.
-A | | right, let's go.
Wait in here.
- Hi Billie, I'm Rey.
- Rey?
Rey who?
- I'm your friendly bondsman.
Now you sign on the dotted line
and you're home.
- Wait a minute.
What's the catch here?
How much is this gonna cost me?
- Your friend took care of it.
It's nice to have a friend.
- Friend?
What friend?
Lord, we
commend to your kingdom,
the soul of our beloved
sister Katherine Clark.
May she know this day,
the peace of your presence.
And may she know joy with you
as she gave joy to those
she loved here on earth.
Amen.
- Gramps?
Come on, we're home, gramps.
Rose, do me a favor
and take him inside.
I'll be in in a minute, okay?
What do you do
at a time like this?
- You wait.
You wait for the
pain to go away.
Wait for the memories to fade.
- Do you want me
to stick around?
Maybe I could help?
- Listen Johnny, I really
appreciate what you did.
With the bail and all.
And for coming here today,
it was real sweet of you.
But I need to be alone now.
- I'm sorry.
- Goodbye, Johnny.
I'll see you in court.
- Hey, Phil.
- Can't you see I'm busy?
- Awe come on man,
I've got a problem.
- I expected that.
- Look, can we talk alone?
- When you're with her,
you're as alone as
you ever wanna be.
- Yeah well, the other night,
me and Mickey, we
went into the park
and we climbed up on this bitch.
- Boy you guys really
manage to stay busy,
- don't you?
- Yeah.
- And you couldn't
get it up right?
- Yeah.
I mean, no.
Look man, we got busted.
- Wait a minute.
Over there.
All right, what
the hell happened?
- It was the same
broad that gave us
the rap with the
tires the other night.
Swear to God!
It's like she's
all over the place!
Anyways, Danny, he
got me out on bail.
But Mickey, he's still in.
We got a court date
day after tomorrow.
If that broad testifies-
- What whore was it?
- You know her I think, Karen.
- Yeah I know her.
- So anyways, if
that whore testifies,
we go up for a hard pin.
- No sweat.
That fat ass bitch ain't
gonna show up in court.
I can assure you of that.
- Okay, thanks man.
- But you owe me, Tom.
You owe me big for this one.
- Sure Phil, sure.
Anything you say.
- Oh, that idiot at the store
acts like these boxes
are made out of gold!
He only wanted to give me two.
But I got four, but I had
to beg and then threaten.
Can you imagine the
nerve of that guy?
I know he has at
least 40 empty boxes
stacked up in that
back room of his!
I saw them.
Hey.
Hey, Billie, it's
gonna be all right.
Oh, it's gonna be all right.
- It's not fair.
It's just not fair.
They're the sweetest
people in the world,
they wouldn't hurt a fly.
- Billie.
Are you sure you're
gonna be okay?
- Hey, wait a minute!
Hold on, wait up!
What are you, stuck
up or something?
- Just leave me alone.
- Boy, sure sound stuck up.
Now look, why don't we
go have dinner or something?
- I just wanna be left alone.
Okay?
- Hey sweetheart, I'm not
talking marriage here.
Just talking
dinner, no big deal.
All right then a malted milk.
You look like the healthy type.
- You stay the
hell away from me!
- You know, you got great tits.
I can feel them
against my chest.
- Please don't hurt me.
- Do I look like the kind of guy
that would hurt a woman?
- Look, I didn't
mean to insult you.
Just don't hurt me.
- I'm a great big pussycat.
You ever had anyone bash
a fist into your face?
Break your nose,
bust your teeth?
It's up to you, babe.
First I'll get a look
at those big tits.
- Get up!
You know something, pussycat,
you ought to stay
out of the park.
It's bad for your health.
- Yeah, it's just like I
was telling you, rookie.
You're never gonna make
it through to probation.
You just don't have the right
attitude about your work.
You know, just because
your old man was a cop
you think you've got it made.
- You can say all
you want about me
but just leave my father alone!
- Hey, pull a U-turn.
I wanna talk to that
hooker right over there.
Hey listen, I'm gonna
check out a complaint
up here in this building.
You cruise around here
close, you understand?
Now if we get a call,
come on back here
and blow on the
siren a little bit.
Right here.
You got it?
Yeah, I got it, Boyle.
- Well, your honor, in
my considered opinion,
the defendant used the
weapon in self defense.
- May I point out, your
honor, that my client was
actually aiding the law by
making a citizens arrest
and halting the perpetration
of a crime in progress?
- I am well aware of the
circumstances, counselor.
If I need any conclusions drawn,
I'll draw them myself.
Why is Officer Boyle not
present in court this morning?
- He's off duty with
the flu your honor.
- Your honor, you do
have Officer Boyle's
written report in
your briefing file.
- Now tell me, Officer Swinton,
why is it that your
version of the incident
differs so dramatically
from Officer Boyle's
written statement?
- If Officer Boyle were here
he would ask for leniency.
- Quite the contrary
Officer Swinton.
Officer Boyle's
notation under remarks
ask for full enforcement
to the statutes.
What do you have to say,
Mr. District Attorney?
- Well your honor,
she, the defendant,
did in fact halt a
crime in progress.
But she did break the
law on several counts.
And the statutes
are very specific
on these offenses.
- Thank you for your inspiring
and enlightening contribution.
Counselor, it is my
understanding that
your client wishes to wave jury
and throw herself on
the mercy of the court?
- Yes, your honor,
that is correct.
- Well you're in
luck, counselor.
Due to Officer Swinton's
favorable testimony,
the District Attorney's
lack of preparedness
and poor presentation,
and because I do feel
merciful today,
the court finds the
defendant guilty as
charged and poses
a $500 fine in lieu
of incarceration,
and places the defendant
on one year probation.
However, let me warn
you, young lady,
if you ever appear
before me again
for any violation,
you'll get the
maximum sentence allowed by law.
Next case.
- That son of a bitch!
That lousy son of a bitch!
- Look, this doesn't look
good kid, I'm in uniform.
Even if I am off duty.
Listen, I'm gonna let you
in on a deep dark secret.
In my off duty hours
I'm learning karate.
How about if we go
down to the studio
and I'll show you how I
work out my aggressions?
Maybe afterwards I'll show you
how I work out mine.
- Come on, I wanna show
you some of my moves.
Tony.
Whenever you're ready.
I think I've been had.
- Johnny?
Are you all right?
- Okay, it's all yours.
- You're still wet.
Is there a shower cap in here?
- There used to be
a little plastic one
in the cupboard there.
Brought it back from Vegas.
- You're a gambler?
- Nickel slots sometimes.
I went there for a wedding.
- Ah, forget it.
Hey!
Where are the towels?
They're in
the cupboard in the hall.
- Would you bring one in here?
You wouldn't want
me to get the carpet
any wetter than it is!
Thanks.
Champagne.
How nice.
Thank you.
- Shh, be quiet!
Be very quiet.
I don't think you should
appear in court, do you?
Do you?
Now for being so good,
I'm gonna give you
a little treat.
Take it out, bitch!
- The people versus
Gouger and Vernon.
Randolf Gouger
and Thomas Vernon, you are
accused of rape, trespassing
and intoxication.
How do you plead?
- Your honor, I
would like to request
that these proceedings be
postponed until a later date.
Why do you
ask for a postponement
at this time, Mr. Strickland?
- Well, um,
see, your honor, my key witness
has failed to appear.
- Mr. Strickland
why is it you're
always a clay late
and a dollar short!
Now counsel, approach the bench.
Mr. Strickland, why is it you're
never prepared for court?
- Well your honor I am prepared.
It's just that my
client has failed to-
- Never mind, I really
don't wanna hear it.
Mr. Grossman, do you
have any objection
to setting a later date?
- Yes sir, your honor, I do.
It has come to my
attention that the witness,
that the district
attorney's witness,
has stated that she would
like to drop the charges
and that she has left town.
- Mr. Strickland?
- Well, yeah I mean,
Ms. Stride did
call me and tell me
she was leaving town.
But,
well see, I kinda thought
she'd change her mind.
- I do not understand,
Mr. Strickland, how it is
you're able to hold your job,
but I intend to find out.
Mr. Grossman, what are the
intentions of your clients?
- To save the court
time your honor,
they will plead guilty
to the two lesser charges
if the district attorney
will drop the rape charge.
What the hell?
- The DA is in trouble
with the judge.
We'll find out in a minute.
- Yes, your honor.
Yes, that will be acceptable.
- Thank you.
Postpone of these
procedures is denied.
The prosecution has
dropped the charge of rape.
The charges are now
trespassing and intoxication.
Randolf Gouger,
how do you plead?
- Guilty, to drunk
and trespassing, sir.
- What the hell?
- He made a deal.
Thomas Vernon, how do you plead?
- Guilty your honor
to intoxication
and trespassing, sir.
- What deal?
- $250 fine for each
defendant in lieu
of 30 days incarceration.
Court is recessed until two p.m.
- What the hell
is going on here?
What kind of justice if this?
I stop a rape I get a $500
fine and six months probation!
And these assholes rape a
girl and they get a $250 fine?
What Shit!
- Bailiff, restrain that woman!
- Don't do it Billie, you're
already in enough trouble.
- Bailiff, place that
woman under arrest
on charges of contempt
and hold her in custody.
You're gonna do time
for this outrage!
- Oh you can shove
it up your ass!
- Hey, Johnny boy.
You know, she shouldn't
have done that.
You know Judge
Taylor's gonna give
her at least 30 days.
- Leave me alone, Boyle.
Just leave me alone, Boyle.
- You know, it's not my fault
your girlfriend's stupid!
She's got a big mouth!
You know you should
have shoved your-
You're gonna pay for this.
Here, enjoy this, rookie!
Enough!
-A | | right, enough.
- You did that on
purpose, that's a foul!
- No I didn't, she was on
the wrong side of the net.
It's our ball.
- Bullshit!
Give me the ball!
- Keep it down Sam, you're
gonna get the guards on us.
- Forget about it, it's okay.
It all works out in the end.
Your ball.
Let's go.
- Watch out!
- Don't touch her,
she's my friend.
Turn it up, girls,
you've got five more minutes.
- You handled yourself
real well with that lady.
You really know
that karate stuff?
- I can take care of myself.
The bastard helped me anyway.
- If you punch someone
don't get caught.
If you get caught,
you'll lose all your privileges.
Ancl they put you in a
cell all by yourself.
Ancl it gets damn lonely
in there by yourself.
You got nice hair.
Here, use some of my shampoo.
Yup, sure got nice hair.
Belinda Clark,
you have a visitor.
- Hi.
- You shouldn't be seen here.
You might ruin your reputation.
- How is it?
Are you okay?
- It's wonderful.
Couldn't be better.
Remember all those garbage
people you were talking about?
Between you and me, most
of them live in here.
Full-time.
- Billie, I've got an angle
that may get you out early.
I'll let you know.
- Listen pal, get me
out of this joint,
I'll give you my body.
- That's bribery.
-Awe hell, I thought
it was prostitution.
I just want you to be careful.
I feel very close to this now.
Seeing more and
more of these people
and liking it less and less.
- Marry me.
- You know, I'm worried
about a lot of things.
About me if I get
pushed too far.
About you if some dumb
ass takes a shot at you.
- Marry me.
- I'm worried about
guys who wanna marry me
without knowing what
they're getting into.
- I think I have a
pretty good idea.
- I know your type.
Every time you get laid
you wanna get married.
- Not really.
I've had over
3,000 conquests and
I've only proposed to half.
- Listen, Johnny, I don't think
I can love anyone right now.
Not like I should.
- It's okay.
I'll hang around.
- Then again, maybe
I could learn.
- Here, let me
help you with that.
- Oh, it's okay.
I can do it myself.
- It's okay, I used
to be a hairdresser.
I need the practice.
You got a boyfriend?
- Yes.
He asked me to marry him.
- Do you miss him?
- I try not to think about it.
- It gets lonesome
in here, babe.
Real lonesome.
God, you're tense.
Here, let me give
you a back rub.
I used to be a masseuse too.
- Thank you Sam, that
feels a lot better.
- Relax, baby.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
I love you.
- Stop it, Sam.
That's enough.
Just let me go.
- Just relax, baby.
Just relax and enjoy it.
- That's enough!
No, baby.
What Sam wants, Sam gets.
And Sam wants you.
- Don't do this, Sam.
You're making a mistake!
Don't you dare try that again.
- Judge Taylor,
I'm John Swinton.
I've been trying to see you.
- Oh yes Officer Swinton,
I know who you are.
You have to excuse
me, I'm in a hurry.
- Judge please, just for
a moment of your time.
- I told you, I'm in a
hurry I don't have a moment.
- Judge Taylor, as a
voting tax paying citizen
who pays your wages
I'm asking you
for one moment of your time!
-A | | right, Mr.
Swinton, a moment.
Please be brief
and to the point.
- Thank you, judge.
I have two entirely
separate matters
I would like to
discuss with you.
The first is about
Belinda Clark.
The girl you sentenced
for contempt of court.
Her grandfather's very ill.
Probably dying.
Now I'd like to
ask you to use your
power and influence
to have her released.
- You're wasting my
time and your energy
on an incorrigible.
That girl cannot
stay out of trouble
even when she's in jail.
Next subject!
- Judge, please reconsider, it
may save the old man's life.
- You have my decision.
The matter is not open
to further discussion.
- I was warned I might
be wasting my time.
All right.
Second subject.
- Be brief.
- I intend to be brief.
I understand that
you're seeking another
term on the bench in
the upcoming election.
- Yes.
- Well, I have here a
rather comprehensive dossier
on not only your questionable
decisions from the bench,
but also very
complete and detailed
profile on your rather
kinky personal life.
- Blackmail?
Blackmail's a serious
business, Mr. Swinton.
- This can hardly be termed
blackmail, Judge Taylor.
I have not yet
offered to exchange
the material for money or favor.
- Officer Swinton, John,
perhaps tempers have
been a bit short today.
I suggest that we meet tomorrow
and discuss these matters.
- Bribery?
Bribery's a serious
matter, Judge Taylor.
I'll see you in court.
Who knows?
I may even see you in jail.
Have a good day, your honor.
- Okay Clark, you're
being released.
Yeah, come on.
- So long, kid.
Still love your hair.
- Goodbye, Sam.
Good luck!
- Don't forget to call my mom.
You got the number?
- I got it.
Bye Billie,
it's gonna be a hot time!
- Good luck!
- Goodbye, Billie.
- Goodbye, suckers.
- Marry me.
- There you go again.
Every time you get laid
you wanna get married.
- Billie, I'm serious.
-So am I.
I need time.
- Move in with me then.
We'll live in sin.
- Now you're cooking.
This sure as hell beats jail.
- I consider that a compliment.
- You sure as hell
beat my old cellmate.
- I wouldn't touch that
with a 10 foot pole.
Look, I gotta go.
- What?
- You told me you
wanted me to arrest
the scum that murdered
your grandmother.
- Johnny, what do you know?
- I know I love you.
- What do you know?
- Not much.
A few weeks ago I was
out with my ex-partner.
You know, Boyle the big bad ass?
Well, he was involved
with a hooker
and I tried to set him up.
- Is this gonna be a long story?
- No.
So I checked her out.
Turns out she has
nothing to do with Boyle.
But her file did
show that she was
once arrested with a guy
with a scar on his face.
Prints and everything match up.
His name is Croug right?
- Right.
- So I thought I'd go
have a talk with her.
Take me!
- No way.
This one is mine.
Miss Whore is
gonna show me where
he and his buddies hang out.
- Okay, fine.
- Hey, why don't you
get some of your stuff
and come by tonight.
I work the late shift,
I'll be home around midnight.
We got a deal, right?
- You bet.
- 50 bucks, are you kidding me?
20 bucks.
- 25, babe.
That's only because you're cute.
I like to screw to music.
There's a beer in the
ref ridge if you're thirsty.
I usually save that
for my $50 customers,
but like I said, you're cute.
You can put your
clothes on the couch.
You're shy?
Want me to take your
clothes off for you?
Oh Shit.
Hey, look you're
just a little kinky.
- Sorry, lady.
- Who put you on to me?
A narc, huh?
Leave it alone.
Don't make a sound.
- Hey, I'm thirsty.
Can I have a beer?
- Well, well, well.
- You son of a bitch!
God.
Hey, what the hell
is going on here?
You gonna bust me or not?
You a cop?
Show me some ID if you're a cop.
- I'm not showing you anything!
So why don't you
just shut your face
and keep it shut, you got it!
- Qkay, baby.
Come on over here.
There's plenty of room
and I don't like sleeping alone.
Come on.
I'll make it good for you.
- Forget it, lady.
- Asshole.
- Hey bear, would you
look at that shit?
- Let's do it.
- Hey, honey.
How abouts some real exercise?
- Oh screw off.
- Come on.
Hey, bitch!
Where the hell are you?
-Ithoughtyou
boys wanted to play?
- Come on!
- Please, please,
give me a break.
I need a fix.
Anything.
Please, don't make me wait.
- All right.
Now you and I can make a deal.
I want some information
and you're just
the person who
can give it to me.
That makes us a very good team.
So let's talk.
- Mark!
Where you at, Mark?
Mark!
Mark, Mark, where
the hell are ya?
- He's busy bleeding.
Okay tough guy, let's
see what you can do.
Come on, do it scumbag!
- Who the hell are you?
- Oh, I'm the girl
you and your buddy
chased into the park, remember?
- Mark, Mark, where
the hell are you?
What the hell is this?
- Beats me.
You and your buddy
jump out of your car
and chase me into
the park, right?
- Hey man, that was him.
I didn't wanna do nothing.
- What's the matter with you?
Didn't your mommy ever
tell you that isn't nice?
Don't mess with
girls in the park!
That's not nice!
Shit, crazy bitch.
Hey, where were you?
- I was out by the pool.
- Oh I couldn't find you.
Look, I gotta go, I
gotta get on duty.
- Did you find out anything?
- You bet.
She talked her brains out.
This weekend you
and I we go down
and stake out the place.
If we find them,
I call the department.
They get arrested.
And I make the
collar for the bust.
Well, then they make me captain
of the detective department.
So then we take all that
money that I've made
and we go and buy a
condo by the ocean.
And we get married.
Have a few kids.
And then, then
when I'm about 50,
I retire.
We buy a ranch and a horse.
The great American dream, yeah.
- What a cop.
- Well thank you my darling.
Mmm.
Hey look, you stay
inside tonight.
There's a lot of bad
people out there.
I'm gonna catch 'em all tonight.
- Where do these guys hang out?
They have a
place at 6th and San Pedro.
Right around the
corner from a place
called Charlies.
I'll see you in the morning.
Breakfast in bed, right?
- I love it.
-Aw, God damn it, shit!
Not her again!
- Come on, come on.
Come on man we can
take care of her.
- You're doing great,
you're doing great, yeah.
Come on get her.
Look at my position
You know I haven't seen
Hi there.
- Oh man, check this.
- Oh Shit!
Out of the way!
Hey, hey lady, that's enough!
- This guy had friends.
I need a doctor.
- Where are his friends?
Where do they live?
- Somebody help me!
- Oh I'll help you.
Where are his friends?
- Okay, you got it.
They're pushing coke down
by the old Troy Park.
Got an old car staked out
waiting for customers.
- Man, you're gonna
get us into a jam.
You're gonna get us busted.
We're no where near where
we're supposed to be.
- Don't worry about it.
I'll take the responsibility.
Now stop complaining
and start looking.
The sooner we find
her the sooner
we can get back to our beat.
- Oh man, we're
never gonna find her,
she could be anywhere.
- It won't take a minute.
This is her grandparents' house.
All right, how long has it been
since you last talked to her?
- This afternoon,
before I left for work.
She's been crying
but she seemed okay.
- Billie, Billie
open up, it's John!
Billie!
- What's the matter,
what's the problem?
- Oh she may be in trouble.
Billie!
- I told her I'd
be home before dark
but I had to work
overtime, I need the money.
John, come on,
we're not in our district.
I looked at all the windows.
I went home and tried calling!
- Billie!
Billie, where are you?
Billie?
She's not here.
- It's like she's roaming
all over town, man,
looking for people.
She's crazy.
This town's crazy.
This town's getting dangerous.
- Shut up.
- Hey, I'm serious, man.
- So am I, shut up.
- Jack said he saw
her here last night.
She's looking for
it man, you know?
- I know.
- She's gonna get it,
'cause I'm getting
fed up with this shit.
Man, would you look at that?
These old broads
will never learn.
- Yeah, hold on a second, Phil.
That's her, man.
That's her.
- Well, buddy,
now you're gonna
get your chance.
Let's do it.
' Here pussy, Pussy, pussy.
Come on, alley cat!
Go around back!
- I decided, you're
not a very nice person.
- Now you need to get this
checked in a couple of days.
Now you can come back here
or you can go see
your own doctor.
- Thanks a lot, doc.
- You can't go.
You have to wait for the
police to get their report
before you can go.
- I beg your pardon?
- I said, you can't go.
- Well you just watch me, lady.
- Belinda Clark, right?
