enterprises. On the west side...

...Mr. Lopez...

...Ray Tango...

...has cost me even more.

Two little mice...

...and so much damage.

But if we kill them,

we risk all-out war with the police.

They're heroes already.

Why make martyrs of them?

Instead of death...

...we have a game.

A game that only we can win.

Within two weeks...

...I will take delivery of the largest

shipment of weapons that...

...we have ever handled.

Within that time...

...Tango...

...and Cash...

...will be safely tucked away...

...behind bars.

Aren't they beautiful?

(NOISE)

(NOISE)

You almost got yourself killed, pal.

It's the other way around.

I pull this trigger,

your throat's hanging off that wall.

Pull that trigger,

I'll blow you in half.

You never had a chance

to hit me with that gun.

Not this one.

You know me?

You're L.A.'s second-best cop.

I heard the same about you.

- Stay off my case.

- Your case?

I've been on it 3 months.

Then you're stupid. I've been on it

- Stay off my case.

- Nice tie!

How do you want to do this?

I'll go first. Cover me on three.

One.

- Two.

- Three.

Freak!

What's the score?

My turn.

TANGO:

Don't move!

Don't move your hands.

CASH:

His hands aren't going anywhere.

CASH:

Do the honors.

He's wired.

CASH:

This is all wrong!

TANGO:
You ought to be a cop.

CASH:
Did you expect this?

No, I didn't,

and I didn't expect you, either.

Why is he wired?

(CASH OVER SPEAKER) Got me.

Good luck getting anything out of him.

I'm gone. Ciao, babe.

(GLASS BREAKS)

DAVIS:

Drop your weapons!

CASH:
Freeze!

TANGO:
We're cops!

Wait! We're on the same team!

Just read this, damn it!

I'm going to blow

both your f***ing brains out!

CASH:
No problem.

TANGO:
I'm convinced.

TANGO:

He's hysterical.

TANGO:
I'd like a receipt for that.

CASH:
Me too.

CASH:

We can talk about this.

CASH:

That's my gun.

TANGO:

What's it doing here?

That gun was in my locker.

WYLER:

It's not your gun now!

It's evidence.

TANGO:
Why's your gun here?

CASH:
They stole it.

Tell me what you did.

I don't know this man.

I didn't come with him.

So with your permission,

I'll be leaving. Ciao.

DAVIS:
You didn't come with him,

but you're leaving with him.

You're making a mistake.

You're going down for this.

WYLER:

Get these bastards out of here!

Now!

- You're bad karma.

- I hope you got a good lawyer.

Perret says use this tape.

- Did Tango shoot a federal officer?

- No comment.

Was Cash there too?

No comment.

SCHROEDER:

What do they have?

They got a.380

with Cash's fingerprints.

They think it's the murder weapon.

Ballistics is checking it.

They were at the scene of the crime.

No one was seen coming or going.
