00:01Tonight, on Wise Guy...
00:03I took down a guy.
00:05Man, I can hardly hear myself think about him
00:07because there's 30 pieces of silver rattling around in my pocket.
00:10You know, you can hear all the confessions you want.
00:12And you can say mass five times a day.
00:15But there's real life and death going on outside of these walls, Pete.
00:17And if you don't deal with that, you're just using the church as a place to hide.
00:20What if I tell you there's another hit going down? You let me go?
00:24Who's going south?
00:25A priest over in Flatbush. You let me go?
00:27What's his name?
00:28Father turned over.
01:03I'm Ron Charles.
01:03I'm Ron Charles.
01:27I'm Ron Charles.
01:27I'm Ron Charles.
01:28I'm Ron Charles.
01:28He's a prolly of John Charles.
04:52We'll be right back to the old neighborhood.
04:53It's home, Nicky.
04:54It's always going to be home.
04:56So where you working at these days?
04:58I'm still down in Borough Hall.
04:59Sorting mail for the wingtippers.
05:01Wow.
05:01I can remember you talking about leaving that 10 years ago.
05:04Yeah, well, I don't like to act on a whim.
05:07I get a check every week, a few beers on Friday.
05:10If the Mets win, I'm happy.
05:11I'm not aiming high anymore, Vinny.
05:14Remember Philly Weinstein?
05:15Yeah, sure.
05:16Yeah, he's still down at the hall, too.
05:18Martin Jeff, that's us.
05:22Uh, I gotta go.
05:24Why don't we get together for a few beers later on?
05:26You know, of all the guys we ever hung with,
05:28I always ask you to peg the winner.
05:29I'm real proud of you, Vinny.
05:31You take care of yourself.
05:51Father Pete, I want the last rights.
05:53Nick, what are you...
05:56How long have you been ill?
05:57There's a contract out on me.
05:59Could be tomorrow or the next day.
06:01I could walk out of here right now and get whacked.
06:03What are you talking about?
06:05Correct me if I'm wrong,
06:06but in the 30 years that we know each other,
06:08have you ever heard of me making a smart move?
06:11Okay, so we accept the fact I'm no great intellect.
06:14Borrow hall three weeks ago,
06:15I'm sorting mail and a piece of paper falls out of an envelope
06:17that's supposed to go to Frank Donovan.
06:19The council member?
06:21Himself.
06:21And his paper, which was never intended for public consummation,
06:26is proof positive he's taking kickbacks
06:28from the new garbage collection contract.
06:29I figure it's worth gold, this paper.
06:31So I go see Donovan and I offer the seller back to him for a small commission.
06:35Oh, Nicky.
06:37Yeah, it doesn't go too good.
06:38He comes on strong, so I tell him I'll give him back the paper for free.
06:42We'll forget the whole thing.
06:44Then I hear this buzz going around that he's planning on drilling me a new place to breed.
06:47So being as I won't see a priest again, I like the rights.
06:51You've got to call the police.
06:52And do what?
06:53Tell him I was trying to shake down a public official.
06:55Then run.
06:56Try to get away.
06:57You've got to do something.
06:58You can't just sit and wait for it.
06:59That's suicide.
07:01That's a mortal sin.
07:02I'm just a rotten businessman.
07:04And if that's a sin, then hell must be all full up.
07:08I can't anoint you, Nick.
07:11Last rights can only be given to the sick.
07:13Hey, I'm dead.
07:14Ain't that sick enough?
07:17Okay, if it's a rule, it's a rule.
07:20But I want you to promise me this.
07:22When it all goes down, I want you to keep it under your hat that I wasn't kosher.
07:26Because Connie and Nick Jr. still gotta live in this neighborhood.
07:30I know I wasn't at Mass much.
07:32I hope you didn't take it personal.
07:36You pray for me, Father Pete.
07:55How long is Mom supposed to be gone?
07:56Until they operate on Aunt Marie's varicose veins.
07:59Uncle Joe can't boil water, so...
08:01I would have figured Mom would have got rid of this stuff by now.
08:03Well, if she figures she holds onto it, maybe you'll move back.
08:07You know, when I think about all the time I spent building my models...
08:10You'd build them and I'd smash them.
08:13Kind of like an assembly line in reverse.
08:16You should have knocked me out for that.
08:18That's what Pop used to say.
08:21But you were little, you didn't know any better.
08:24I had the both of you as kind.
08:27Yeah, I can remember being up all night with you in this room.
08:30And they thought we were asleep.
08:33And we'd argue over who was better, maize or mantle.
08:36Yeah, I was wondering if my skin would ever clear up.
08:39Yeah, and if Jenna Capaniella wore falsies.
08:48Yeah, my whole life...
08:53I never felt safer than when I was in this room.
08:57I'm more sure which end of things was up.
09:05I'm not so sure about that anymore.
09:19It's almost the same dream every night.
09:21I'm chasing a part of myself with the silk suits and the Brando strut.
09:28And I catch him and I watch him take the fall.
09:34And he's gone. Finished.
09:38But then I wake up.
09:40And he's still in here.
09:42I can't get rid of him.
09:44Have you talked to anybody about this? Your supervisor maybe?
09:47Yeah, Frank's worried about my identity confusion.
09:49Which is a $4 term for coming unglued.
09:53So he figured a few days of R&R in the old neighborhood would help me decompress.
09:57Which is another $4 term for cooling out.
09:59Do you think you are?
10:01What?
10:02Coming unglued?
10:05I don't know.
10:06You know, when you're in the training program...
10:09They pitch you a lot of crap about the tough moments you're gonna have to face.
10:14But they never mention one word about the toughest moment.
10:17That's when you got a look in the eye of the guy that you just betrayed.
10:21Betrayal's a tough word, Vinny.
10:22You call it whatever you want.
10:24Would he have been loyal to you?
10:25He was.
10:26What he was was a gangster.
10:27He trusted me.
10:29He protected me from the snakes that were trying to eat me alive.
10:32And while he was doing that, I was trying to find a way to stick it in his gut.
10:36And I did. I found it.
10:43I was seeing Nick Lucci today.
10:45Reminded me of the way that we grew up.
10:48Knowing the good guys from the bad guys.
10:53It was like on gun smoke, you know? It was easy.
10:55You always knew which side of the fence you were on.
10:58You're a good guy, Vinny.
11:00Look, I know this because you're my brother and because you got a badge.
11:03The badge doesn't mean squat, Pete. That's what I'm trying to tell you.
11:07You know, you live with these guys that are supposed to be the black hats.
11:10And you realize that they're not that much different from us.
11:14They worry about putting on weight.
11:16They take the garbage out at night. They love their kids.
11:18No, they are different from us, Vinny. They don't even come close.
11:21Don't you remember what dad used to say?
11:23You lie with dogs. You wake up with fleas.
11:26You don't have any idea what I'm talking about, do you?
11:30I guess there's no reason why you should.
11:32But everything's laid out all nice and neat for you.
11:35You got the black over here and the white over here.
11:38And it's all nice and simple because that's what it says in the book.
11:41Let me lay a fast fact on you, little brother.
11:43The only thing black and white in my life is this uniform.
11:46But don't you think I get a rush when a girl in a halter top walks by?
11:50I'm not supposed to, but I do.
11:52And when I tell a father and mother that their child's death is part of God's merciful plan,
11:57don't you think just a little piece of that catches in my throat?
12:01Or suppose some guy finds out about some scam going down at Borough Hall.
12:05He says they're going to kill him because he found out.
12:07A man's life is on the line. There's nothing you can do.
12:10Now you tell me where the black and white is there, Vinny.
12:13I wish to God you could.
12:19And why can't you do anything about it?
12:22What?
12:23If a guy's life is on the line, why can't you do anything about it?
12:27Hypothetical is a hypothetical situation.
12:29No, no, no. Wait a minute. What is this? A confession? Is that why you're telling me this?
12:32No confession. No guy. Leave it alone.
12:34Hey, Pete, if there's a sword hanging over some guy and you let him cut your string, it ain't right.
12:38Hi, Vinny.
12:38Pete. I'm your brother.
12:41And I'm a priest.
12:51Maybe you're right.
12:53Maybe everything in my life is all black and white.
12:58Hey, listen, I know it's late, but, uh...
13:00Ah, don't worry about it, Vinny. I'm cranky if I get more than two hours a night anyway.
13:04Listen, you sound like you've been on intimate terms with some of those friendly fermented grains.
13:09Yeah, listen, I gotta see McPike first thing in the morning.
13:11Frank's in Atlantic City. That's a three hour drive.
13:14Well, I gotta see him right after dawn.
13:16Are you okay, son?
13:17Just get him up here.
13:19You got it, pal.
13:30I thought we understood the reason I sent you back home.
13:33Yeah, yeah, to decompress. Yeah, I know all about it.
13:36No, you don't. Or you wouldn't have called the lifeguard at four o'clock in the morning.
13:39I wouldn't have driven three hours from Atlantic City.
13:41And most importantly, I wouldn't be here right now.
13:44Look, I want you to check out who's skimming what down at Borough Hall.
13:47I want to find out who's getting rich over there.
13:48Oh, you got me confused with somebody who gives a damn.
13:52I'm serious, Frank.
13:53Well, so am I. Political corruption in your old neighborhood is a local matter.
13:57It does not concern the OCB.
13:59Somebody's life is at stake. Doesn't that concern us?
14:02Depends on whose it is.
14:03You know, I thought our job was to protect the good guys and bring down the bad guys.
14:07There are bad guys who are our business, and there are bad guys who aren't.
14:11Yeah, well, I'm making these guys my business.
14:13Now, I'm a cop, and the last time I read the manual, that's what it said was my responsibility.
14:16Your responsibility is defined by me.
14:19It does not include neighborhood squabbles, and it certainly doesn't include crawling into a fifth every night.
14:25When's the last time you got a good night's sleep?
14:28I'm not just flapping my lips here.
14:30Frank, I'm okay!
14:31The hell you are!
15:07The OCB has a program for guys who are under. You can talk to a psychologist and get yourself straight.
15:13Therapy group, Frank. You want me to have my head shrunk?
15:17It is a support group, and I would rather have your head shrunk than cut off and sent back to
15:22me in a box.
15:23I'm just trying to do my job!
15:25You don't know what the hell your job is, the shape you're in!
15:32All right, I'll call you now and give you the time the group meets.
15:35Frank, this guy could get wasted any minute.
15:38This is not a request, Terranova. It is an order.
15:40You get into that group, I'm gonna make sure you spend the rest of your career running fingerprints in some
15:44FBI basement.
15:46Come here, son of a...
16:07You hit her. So what? Broad stays with you long enough, she's gotta expect it.
16:11I didn't just hit her. I smashed my wife's face in.
16:17She's gonna be eating through a straw for three months.
16:19Well, you must have had a good reason.
16:23Yeah. She wanted a cough drop.
16:28You've been working undercover narcotics for how long at this point?
16:33Sixteen months.
16:35And I knew. I knew I'd been made.
16:38How did you know?
16:40I knew.
16:42I was down in the rat holes with those nickel bagged zombies and I knew they were just waiting for
16:48the right time.
16:50I've seen him cut open a guy from here to here.
16:54So he dies with his own guts and his hands trying to stuff him back in.
17:00And that night I got home and my wife, she opens her purse to get the cough drop.
17:08Thought she was going for a blade.
17:12All of a sudden I'm standing over her.
17:15She's got blood on her face, on the floor.
17:19Her teeth are...
17:24I didn't mean to do it.
17:26Honest to God, I didn't mean to do it.
17:28Joe, you were overstressed.
17:30Under tremendous pressure, dealing with a constant threat.
17:34It was that threat that you were striking out against.
17:37Not your wife.
17:44Following that incident, you were pulled from the field?
17:47I wasn't pulled.
17:48I don't care what it says on the report.
17:50I told them they could take the whole program, they could stick it.
17:52I told them I was going to write a book.
17:54You should have seen him scramble after I said that.
17:58Joe, what can we do for you?
18:00Some time off? A desk job?
18:02What do you want, Joe? We'll take care of you.
18:05That's supervisors for you.
18:07You think they got a clue what it's like being on the line every day?
18:10Put them out there, you see a bunch of grown men standing around in warm puddles.
18:14You're living in your own house now.
18:16You're driving your own car.
18:18You are not a drug dealer.
18:20You are Federal Agent Joe Cardona.
18:23That other world is part of the past.
18:26We have to just let it go.
18:28Oh, for crying out loud, it's a game we're playing here.
18:31It's over when you take off the uniform and hit the showers.
18:34If a guy can't handle it, it just means they picked the wrong guy for the assignment.
18:38Not that that'd be anything new.
18:40Would you like to go with that, Mike?
18:43I'd like to go for a beer.
18:45Anybody up for it?
18:52You had any experiences like Joe's, Vinny?
18:57No.
18:58What were your reasons for joining the group?
19:02Well, to tell you the truth, my field supervisor volunteered me for it.
19:06S.O.P.
19:07This guy winds up blowing away a restaurant because the cook burnt his toast.
19:11His supervisor can say, hey, I put him in the group.
19:13I did my job.
19:15Uh, for instance, pal, you know what I'm saying.
19:18That's kind of cynical, Mike.
19:20Only if you've never been out in the real world, Carol.
19:30You been experiencing any anxieties?
19:34No, not really.
19:36Sleep disturbances?
19:39Nothing I can't handle.
19:40Hey, huh? It's about time.
19:43Somebody who realizes it's every man for himself.
19:52So, Mike, you on active now or what?
19:53I just wrapped up a racketeering case in Manhattan.
19:56Oh, yeah?
19:57Hey, Vinny. How about a nightcap?
19:59No thanks, man. I'm still hungover from the drinking I did last night.
20:04You guys had it rough, huh?
20:05Yeah, well, nobody said it was gonna be a walk in the park.
20:08Hey, listen, you know anything about the dirty laundry going on here in the borough?
20:11Such as?
20:12Well, some guy in office. I don't know who, but he may have put a contract to keep a scam
20:15he was running on the QT.
20:17I got a few friends. I'll nose around for you. See what I can find.
20:20All right, thanks, Mike.
20:22Hey, that's the job, right?
20:24Yeah. Yeah, that's the job.
20:27See you later.
20:28Bye.
20:30Bye-bye.
20:32Bye.
20:42Bye.
20:45Bye.
20:47Bye.
20:48Bye.
20:49Bye.
21:01Nicky, it was so nice last night.
21:06Want lasagna for supper?
21:10Sure.
21:42Where's my money?
21:45Yeah, they'll keep you up for a couple of days.
21:48Listen, Freddy, anybody ask, I'm out of the house.
21:51I don't want anybody coming by and scanning Connie and the kid here.
21:53Yeah, sure.
21:54You're gonna love the place I got for you.
21:56Fourth floor walk up in Canarsie.
21:58My own mother was on the Dodge. I'd stick her there.
22:00Yeah, would you make her pay for it, too?
22:13Let's go.
22:16In this burg, every elected official has either been indicted or is about to be.
22:19Yeah, these are the guys that are supposed to be keeping the public trust.
22:22They're keeping us the public's dough.
22:24Morning.
22:25How you doing? I'll just have a coffee, please.
22:27Yeah.
22:28Sorry, the boss says that's all there is.
22:30He didn't want to get sued. You crack up your car.
22:32Tell him I'll crack up his head if he don't keep pouring.
22:35Mike, take it easy, will you?
22:36I hate that. I really hate that.
22:39I'm not causing a public nuisance here.
22:41If I want a drink, no jerk in an apron is gonna stop me.
22:44All right, relax, relax.
22:47All right, I talked to a friend of mine, assistant D.A.
22:50He says there's a couple guys on the council they've really been trying to nail.
22:54Ralphie Garcia and Frank Donovan.
22:57Think either of them would be the type to ice the guy if he was about to blow the whistle?
23:00Let me put it this way. Yeah.
23:03Did your friend know anything about a contract?
23:05No.
23:07Well, I got a friend at Borough Hall. Maybe he heard something.
23:10Forget about it. Borough Hall's like an institution for the handicapped.
23:13They're all deaf, dumb, and blind. You can't expect that.
23:16I understand there was some trouble.
23:17There's no trouble. Everything's fine.
23:19This bum grabbed my waitress.
23:23Hey.
23:24Hey, what are you doing? Come on, let's get out of here.
23:26Let go of me. I'm coming to cops.
23:28I am a cop, nosebleed. Come on.
23:33Hey, let go of me, Vinnie.
23:35There's gonna be units rolling here any second.
23:37You gotta call me a bum. I don't like that. It's degrading.
23:39Yeah, all right. You don't have to belt him like that.
23:41What, you on his side too? I'm not on his side.
23:43I thought we'd see things the same, you and me.
23:45Maybe now I'm not so sure.
23:46Maybe you're just like everybody else who thinks up.
23:49You know how people keep their dogs on leashes?
23:52They went out in the street like that.
23:57Come on, you all right?
24:00I had a dog like that once.
24:03Come on, man. Let's go.
24:18Excuse me.
24:19Yeah, pal. Welcome.
24:21Yeah.
24:22It's me, Philly Weinstein.
24:24Hey, come here. Yeah.
24:27Hey, Philly, I didn't even recognize you.
24:29Maybe that's because I've been riding with my top down these days.
24:32How you been?
24:32Great. Come on in.
24:33All right.
24:35Hey, Philly, I've been looking for Nicky.
24:36Have you seen him around anywhere?
24:38No, I took the day off.
24:39As a matter of fact, he took the last couple of days.
24:41Either he's been sick, or his pony's
24:42been running faster than usual.
24:48Listen, Philly, you know anything about Ralph Garcia?
24:51What's to know?
24:52He's the Oral Roberts of the barrio.
24:54They come to him with the sob stories, you know,
24:56not enough water, too many rats, that kind of thing.
24:59And once they come across with a little schmear,
25:02you'll tell him everything will be taken care of, which,
25:05of course, it never is.
25:06I got to go by Nicky's house and drop this off.
25:09They came for him this morning.
25:10You want me to give him a message?
25:11Nah, it's all right.
25:12I'll catch up with him later.
25:14Listen, I hear that the DA is after Frank Donovan
25:16with both barrels.
25:17You know anything about that?
25:18I don't know anything about Frank Donovan.
25:19Maybe other guys do, but not me.
25:22Vinny, it was great seeing you.
25:24I got to meet a guy for lunch.
25:25Take care of yourself.
25:26Say hi to Pete, huh?
25:27All right.
25:50Hey!
25:54Come on, come on, come on, hey!
26:10Philly Weinstein's dead?
26:12Yeah, they're picking up pieces of them all over Croydon Avenue.
26:16He's trying to be a nice guy and deliver a package to Lucci.
26:19Turned out to be a pound and a half of dynamite.
26:22God, rest him.
26:24Is that all you're going to say?
26:25We have to leave this in God's hands.
26:27Yeah, but he just let Philly slip right through his fingers.
26:30I called Nick's house and Connie's hysterical
26:32because he left her a note saying he'd never see her again.
26:34Now, I know you know there's a contract on him, Pete.
26:37I want you to tell me who put it there.
26:40The sanctity of the confessional is absolute.
26:42You know that as well as I do.
26:43It's the cornerstone of the church, Vinnie.
26:45You sure it's the church you're trying to protect?
26:47What's that supposed to mean?
26:48You know, you can hear all the confessions you want.
26:51And you could say mass five times a day.
26:53But there's real life and death going on outside of these walls, Pete.
26:56And if you don't deal with that,
26:57you're just using the church as a place to hide.
27:00Where are you going?
27:00To find Nicky before he slips through his fingers, too.
27:11I'm all in the room.
27:59You want to know the only part
28:00of this job that's worth a damn?
28:02It's seeing the look on the guy's face
28:03when you nail him to the wall.
28:05I'm talking about a guy who really trusted you.
28:08He opened himself up to you,
28:10told you everything about his operation.
28:12You and him were like brothers.
28:14And then, bam, you stick that gun in his face
28:16and say, Federal Officer.
28:19And he gets this look on his face that's so comical.
28:22Like, uh...
28:24I burst out laughing more times than I can count.
28:26There's nothing funny about it, Mike.
28:28Oh, come on, man. It's a riot.
28:30It's not!
28:40I'm sorry.
28:46I took down a guy.
28:49A black hat.
28:51At least he was supposed to be.
28:55I can hardly hear myself think about him
28:58because of 30 pieces of silver rattling around in my pocket.
29:02And I'm supposed to be a white hat.
29:05Life ain't a hat store, pal.
29:09I just feel that all the values that I was brought up to believe in
29:15have been turned completely upside down.
29:18I turned friendship and loyalty into an obscene joke.
29:25I feel like a slime.
29:27Yeah, this Mr. Lucci you're trying to find.
29:29Is he a good guy? A white hat?
29:31Yeah, he's a good guy.
29:32Well, could it be that trying to find him, you're trying to prove to yourself something?
29:36Well, what do you mean, that I'm a good guy too?
29:39Well, that's possible.
29:40You know, in the dream you told us about...
29:42Could be.
29:42Maybe.
29:44That's possible.
29:45Why don't you just come out and say what you think?
29:47Because I'm more interested in what you think.
29:49Yeah, well, I think this talking about dreams is a truckload of crap.
29:52Well, you're the only one in the group who hasn't talked about his dreams.
29:57I don't have them.
29:58We all have them.
30:01Sometimes, if they're disturbing, we try to sublimate the...
30:03Okay, okay, fine.
30:04You want a dream?
30:06I got this guy cornered.
30:07I'm looking down the barrel right at his head.
30:09Only I see he's got a piece too.
30:11So we got a Mexican standoff.
30:13But I figure I can take him with one shot, so I pull.
30:16Only what happens?
30:21The bullet falls out of my barrel.
30:23Plop, on the floor.
30:25He walks up to me and puts the gun in my mouth.
30:32And just as he pulls, I wake up.
30:38Happy now?
30:42I had the same dream.
30:44Oh, great.
30:49So...
30:52Explain it to me, doctor.
30:54Often that dream is rooted in feelings of helplessness to control the world around you.
30:58An inability to respond to your fellow officers, social situations...
31:04Social situations?
31:05Now, what does that mean?
31:07What do you think it means?
31:10Women.
31:11You...
31:11You're saying I don't respond to women?
31:15You ask around.
31:17Sweetheart.
31:18Look, let's talk...
31:19You ask around.
31:21Or better yet, do yourself a favor some night and drop over.
31:24We'll see who responds to what.
31:37You want me to go get him?
31:40No, he's left the group three times before.
31:46What are you feeling, Vinny?
31:47I'm worried about the guy.
31:48I think he's...
31:49I think he's a lit fuse.
31:50Well, he has to be willing to acknowledge that.
31:53And so far, he hasn't.
31:57About you and Mr. Lucci.
31:59Yeah, I don't know if finding him will make me more sure of myself.
32:04But I know if I don't, I'll be sure about Nicky.
32:08He's gonna end up dead.
32:26It would be highly unethical of me to reveal the bids of the other contractors at this point in time.
32:33Call me when you get home.
32:35I'm sorry, Mr. Donovan.
32:36He wouldn't wait until you were off the phone.
32:38I'll talk to you later.
32:40Kiss my daughter for me.
32:43Father Pete, it's grand to see you.
32:45I know what happened to Philly Weinstein.
32:47And I know you're responsible for it.
32:49I can't prove you had him killed.
32:51You'll be judged for that in the world to come.
32:54But if anybody else gets hurt,
32:58I'm going to make sure your judgment comes for that in this world, too.
33:19You ever wipe this bar down or what?
33:21Choice a month like clockwork.
33:24Listen, I'm looking for a guy named Nick Lucci.
33:26You ever hear of them?
33:27Name don't ring a bell, but their names ain't my strong suit.
33:30Now, on faces, I'm a whiz.
33:31Yeah, thanks for nothing.
33:37Another one?
33:58Hey, Pally.
34:01What do you want?
34:03I got what you want.
34:04I know where Nick Lucci's at.
34:07Don't give it up.
34:08That's privileged information, man.
34:10It'll cost you a C.
34:14Where is he?
34:15Come on, man.
34:15Don't give her off.
34:19Okay, okay.
34:19Forget the 100.
34:20I'll take a 20.
34:2120 lousy bucks.
34:22Come on.
34:23Man, I gotta get well.
34:26All right.
34:27That's all I like it.
34:28I knew we could do business.
34:32He's over in Canarsie, 716 Pulaski Street.
34:35Fourth floor in the back.
34:39Honest, man.
34:39I wouldn't lie to you.
34:46Hey, when you find him, don't tell him it was me.
34:48He's a friend of mine.
34:49You know what I mean?
35:19You're getting pretty big.
35:21Pretty soon they're gonna race you at Belmont.
35:26I don't know.
35:29I don't know.
35:30I don't know.
35:48I don't know.
35:51Hey, what do you think?
35:53I mean, I don't know.
35:54I mean, you don't know.
35:58I can't wait.
36:03I knew I got to go.
36:03Come on, I got to go.
36:05I know.
36:09I know.
36:12I can't wait.
36:14I can't wait.
36:15Come on.
36:15Come on.
36:15Come on.
36:16Come on.
36:18Come on.
36:34How'd you find me, Lou?
36:35Your old pal, Freddy.
36:38Surprised?
36:41Well, we might as well get this over with.
36:45You mind if I sit?
36:47It's your place.
36:55How come you didn't hop a plane?
36:58Well, I put off the inexorable.
37:01I wanted my wife to get the insurance money quick.
37:04It's nice of you.
37:07So long, Nicky.
37:11I wouldn't do that if I were you.
37:12Hey, hold on. Don't shoot.
37:14Who are you?
37:15Let's just say I'm a guy with a gun on you.
37:17We can talk about this, huh?
37:19Maybe we can work out a trade.
37:21You got nothing I want.
37:22I got 20 grand stashed.
37:24Not interested.
37:25I could make it 30.
37:28Who are you?
37:29You a neighborhood guy?
37:30You a cop?
37:31What if...
37:33What if I tell you there's another hit going down?
37:36You let me go, I'll give you the whole story.
37:38Who and when?
37:39Any time could be.
37:41You let me go.
37:42I'll tell you who's getting whacked.
37:44You believe him, Vinnie?
37:45You're crazy.
37:46No, no, it's all right.
37:46It's all right.
37:48All right, you got a deal.
37:50Who's going south?
37:51A priest over in Flatbush.
37:53Bruno's going to get him in his booth during confession.
37:56So he won't know what's coming.
37:57Well, who is he?
37:58What's his name?
38:00Father Tarandova.
38:08You made the deal with him, I didn't.
38:22Damn it.
38:23Still busy at the church.
38:25You got a car, don't you?
38:26It's around the corner.
38:26Come on, this guy I'll keep.
38:29Yes, Mrs. Johnfredo.
38:32You mentioned the size of the incision several times.
38:36I want your confession.
38:37He's just passing my desk.
38:39Mrs. Johnfredo.
38:41Again?
38:46Yes, Mrs. Johnfredo?
38:48It's nice to hear your voice.
38:57Yes, Mrs. Johnfredo.
38:58I'm sorry I haven't been by to visit.
39:09This afternoon, yes, I'll bring cannolis.
39:13But right now, I've got to hear confessions.
39:15This afternoon at 3 o'clock.
39:19God bless you too, Mrs. Johnfredo.
39:27So, where are you going to be working next week?
39:42I should have let that guy blow my brains out, Vinny.
39:45I feel he's dead cause to make it.
39:46How am I supposed to look at myself in the mirror?
39:48Well, as easily as I will if we don't get to Pete in time.
39:50How come?
39:51Because I was stupid.
39:53I told Pete he was using the church to hide from the real world.
39:55I guess now he's trying to prove that he isn't.
39:57Listen, Nicky, Pete didn't tell me about your confession.
40:00I tried to make him talk and he wouldn't.
40:02I just thought you ought to know that.
40:09I just thought you ought to know.
40:51Now, where's this paper you got on Donovan?
40:53I got a strongbox out in the garage.
40:56You know, I never thought it would come to this, Vinnie.
40:58All my life, I've seen guys get ahead.
41:01I just wanted to cash in.
41:02I just wanted to get something for Connie and the kid that I couldn't get before.
41:05Now Philly's dead, and for repeating trouble, I don't know if...
41:08Hey, hey, Nicky.
41:09The only person to blame for all this is Frank Donovan.
41:11Now, we're going to get that paper, and we're going to nail him with it.
41:13Now, what time does kids start hearing confessions?
41:16Ten minutes ago.
41:19Come on, move that heap, will you?
41:23Come on, go.
41:26Come on, move that heap.
41:40Come on.
41:43Come on.
41:45Horace.
41:46Come on.
41:47Come on.
41:47Come on.
41:57In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, amen.
42:07We can begin now.
42:09Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.
42:11It has been six weeks since my last confession.
42:24Visit the fifth station of the cross, say, one Hail Mary, and perform an act of charity before the week
42:31is out.
42:32Thank you, Father.
42:34Oh, my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended thee, and I detest all my sins because I treat
42:38the loss of heaven and the pains of hell.
42:44Go in peace.
43:13In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, amen.
43:25We can begin now.
43:30There's no need to be hesitant.
43:35If you've forgotten how to go to confession, I can help.
43:39Let him carry some of the burden for you.
43:43The Lord is willing to forgive anyone whose heart is filled with sincere contrition.
43:47Bruno!
43:48Bruno!
43:53Pete, you all right?
43:55What's going on?
44:00If that's Bruno, I'd hate to see his sister.
44:04What do you think it is?
44:05Make you think, God, you're alive.
44:07Well, I could say the same for you, Father.
44:23Listen, I wanted to tell you that, uh, I'm sorry about what I said to you the other night.
44:28You know, about you having it easy.
44:31I wouldn't want to have to make the judgment calls that you do.
44:34Look, we both have tough ones to make.
44:37When does the Donovan case go to grand jury?
44:39Next week.
44:42Last night was the first night I had a solid eight hours, and I don't know how long.
44:46No more dreams?
44:47No.
44:48So you're feeling better about the black hats and the white hats?
44:50Hey, Pete, life ain't an ad store.
44:54Where did you come up with that, Jim?
44:57Some guy at the group.
44:58Got a meeting in about a half hour.
45:00You know, I don't mean to question the value of therapy, but I still say it would only hurt for
45:05a minute if you went to confession.
45:12How about a drink?
45:15Never again.
45:17Okay.
45:21Hi, Carol.
45:22Hi.
45:24I'm sorry I'm late, but the traffic was all backed up.
45:26Where's Mike?
45:27Didn't he show up?
45:29We just heard from his supervisor.
45:32Mike killed himself last night.
45:49Mike killed himself last night.
