- I'm a Treasury Officer.

All right.

Just remember

what we talked about now.

Hey... Wait a minute!

What the hell kind of police

do you have in this goddamn city?

You just turned your back

on an armed man.

- You're a Treasury officer.

- I just told you I was.

Who would claim to be that,

who was not?

What's your name and unit?

It's right here.

You got a beef?

What is it?

How did you know I had a gun?

What do you want,

a free lesson in police work?

No.

Are you okay, pal?

I had a rough day on the job.

- Are you going home now?

- I was about to.

Well, then, you just fulfilled

the first rule of law enforcement.

Make sure when your shift is over

you go home alive.

Here endeth the lesson.

$100,000 for 40 barrels.

Make sure there are no empties.

I'm gonna give you the ledger,

everything is in the book.

- It's Eddie.

- Come in, Eddie.

So, he gets into the snowplough,

and he says, "Let's do some good".

And then, we bust through...

- Mr. Ness?

- Yes?

I came here to thank you.

It was...

...my little girl that got killed

with that bomb.

I'm sorry. Please.

I'm... I'm so sorry.

You see, it's... because I know

that you have children, too.

And that this is real for you,

that these men cause us tragedy.

And I know that you will

put a stop to them.

And you do that, now.

- What do you want?

- I'd like to talk to you.

Come in.

I need a small group of men,

handpicked, starting with you.

Ness! I am just a poor beat cop.

- Now, how can I help you?

- Just work with me.

- But why should I, though?

- Because you're a good cop.

- How do you know that?

- You told me.

If I'm such a good cop...

How come I'm walkin' the beat,

then, at my age?

Do you want to tell me?

Well, maybe I'm that

Whore with a Heart of Gold.

Or The One Good Cop in the Bad Town?

Is that what you want to hear?

I didn't ask you, and I don't care!

You want to stay on the beat?

You do that.

If you'd like to come with me,

I need your help.

I'm askin' you for help.

Well... that's the thing you fear,

isn't it?

Mr. Ness, I wish I'd met you

ten years and... twenty pounds ago.

But... I just think it got...

more important to me...

...to stay alive.

And that's why I'm walkin' the beat.

Thank you, no.

That's good, Andy. Let's start up

the thing and take a little ride.

I wanna hear

that Stutz Bearcat engine, boy!

- Yeah, let me open the door here.

- Yeah, go ahead.

Whoopsy daisy,

pick up the door there, Andy.

Throw it in the back seat.

Now, let me get the thing started.

Yeah, start it up, Andy.

Holy mackerel, Andy!

Listen to that Bearcat motor!

Yeah, it sounds like the bear

is chasin' that cat all round it!
