American Gangster Page #5

He's alive.

What happened inside?

Thanks, man.

F***.

The a**hole pulled a piece on me.

Can you f***in believe it?

He pulls a piece on a cop?

Had to do it, man.

Kill or be killed.

F***in crazy world, right?

What the f*** were you doing

on the projects?

Investigating stuff, man,

you know.

Just like you taught me.

Checking on guys,

following things up,

putting the pieces together.

The guy was a f***ing dealer.

Scum of the earth!

That guy

didn't pull a gun on a cop, Jay.

That guy pulled a gun on a junkie.

The junkie was trying to rob him.

What the f*** you sayin?

What the f*** you doin, man?

- What the f*** is that?

- That money's mine, man!

I earned this sh*t!

It's mine!

I earned it doing good cop work.

- I got it doin good cop work!

- You murdered him!

- And gettin shot at!

- You murdered the guy!

You murdered him,

you robbed his money,

then you called me to get you out.

Makes me an accessory after the fact.

I'll tell you the facts,

just write the report

the way i see it happened.

And then that's the way it is.

And that's how it'll all be.

I can't do that.

I'm a leper because I listened to you

and turned in a million bucks.

No one will work with me after that.

I can give up this sh*t, Richie!

That's easy.

Just write the report.

Between us.

As partners.

I can't do that.

Stop!

Open the trunk.

Get out!

Get out of Vietnam!

As loud as we can

that the Vietnam war should stop,

and that the best way to stop it

is for the United States

to simply pack up

and get out of Vietnam right now!

How are we looking?

Typically what I see

is 25 to 45 % pure.

There are no adulterants, no alkaloids,

no dilutents.

It's a hundred percent.

- May I?

- Take it with you.

Thank you, Frank.

I'll take it.

No contingencies, no loan,

no nothing.

Cash.

Fabulous.

Im not talking

about your proclivities.

Those I only know too well.

Im talking about being a cop.

You talking about taking money?

I don't do that.

Not my thing.

And your friends from the hood,

still hang out with them?

Yeah. Play baseball on the weekends.

Wise guys?

It's gonna look good.

Guys I went to school with, so what?

What about Joseph Sadano?

What about him?

Im just trying to understand

things your wife has said.

- If they're not true, tell me.

- Yeah, hes one of them.

Is he also your sons godfather?

He's definitely f***ing her.

Do you really care about this?

Or do you just not want her

to win ever?

You know there's an interview room?

On the second floor.

- That's what I thought.

- Door locks from the inside.

All rise!

F*** me like a cop, not a lawyer.

Don't answer!

- Richie Roberts.

- Hey, Norm!

- Richie Roberts.
