I am Moussorsky,

your liaison officer.

We're here from Washington.

We took the first flight

when we heard the news.

We need to know what happened.

Moscow must get a full report

when we return to Washington.

There's nothing to report.

Your attitude is disappointing.

He got away.

Get the details from the Americans.

They ask too many questions.

It could be an embarrassment.

Rosta escaped

because of your stupidity.

Rosta will finish his deal

and send the American poison home...

...through his Georgian network.

We are humiliated before the world.

You've failed.

Report whatever you want.

I've already cabled Internal Affairs.

Take the first plane to Moscow

when you leave the hospital.

Your superiors want to see you...

...the moment you land.

I'm sorry, but the police department

will have to bear with us, lieutenant.

Captain Danko

should remain incommunicado.

The Russians got a chance

to talk to him. Why?

They were the closest thing

to family...

...and they didn't intend

to interrogate him.

Now, how did you get that piece

through customs?

Diplomatic immunity.

Great. That restores my faith

in airport security.

You're not supposed to have that gun,

Danko.

I'll tell you what, though.

Tell me what the hell's going on

with Viktor, I'll let you keep the piece.

Take it.

Come on, give me a break

with this sh*t, huh?

Maybe this Russian bully stuff

works on a chessboard, but not here.

What, are you retiring your uniform?

I now work undercover.

Undercover?

You look like Gumby.

Yeah, you're gonna fit right in.

For your information, captain,

I bagged one of your Russians.

Unfortunately, he's not dead.

He's in the intensive care unit.

When he comes to,

maybe you should talk to him.

How long before this happens?

What is this, 60 Minutes?

Do I look like a doctor to you?

Other things first.

Hey, Gumby? Hey.

Where do you think you're going?

All right, lighten up.

Lighten up, I got it. Thanks.

- Hey, what are you doing out of bed?

- He thinks he's gonna find Viktor.

- That's cute. You keep an eye on him.

- Why me?

Because I said so. He's a material

witness. I'm gonna talk to Donnelly.

- He can figure what to do.

- How come I get all the sh*t jobs?

- Because it fits you, Ridzik.

- Yeah.

- You come with me, yes?

- Well, you heard. I just got my orders.

- Take me to the same hotel.

- Do I look like a f***ing cab to you?

Yes.

All right, all I did

was take him back to the hotel.

He went in, came out 10 minutes later.

I don't know what to do with him,

so I brought him here.

Okay. Good.

About your involvement in this thing,

you know the standard procedure.

If you're a witness to a murder, you can
