[Man]
Back in the '70s, every cop
wanted out of the city.
But the only cops allowed
to live outside New York
were transit cops.
Because the Transit Authority
was also run
by Jersey and Connecticut.
So these guys I knew
at the 3-7...
they started pulling overtime
at subway stations...
and got the city to declare them
"auxiliary transit cops."
They bought some land in Jersey.
Got some cheap loans
from people they knew.
They made themselves a place
where the shit
couldn't touch 'em.
Every precinct
has its "cop bar,"
a private club, all blue.
For the 3-7,
it was the 4 Aces...
just across the river.

This Armenian guy, he's from
the other side over there.
He tells her that she's dead.
Right? She's gonna be dead
by morning.
- So he drops this box off
at her place, right?
- They call you guys.
- They call Bomb Squad.
- Right. We go in there.
We x-ray it on scene.
- And, uh, we cant see
anything in there.
- [Man] Right.
I cut a little hole in it.
I can see there's something
in there.
[Man]
Uh-huh.
I, uh, I see that there's, uh,
some white fuzz.
There's something pink.
I can't figure out what it is.
- Suddenly I realize
I am looking at a tongue.
- Ah, shit!
A big, fat tongue sticking
out at me. Yes. The guy
put a goat's head in there.
[Man]
This at the end
of the twentieth century.
H.G. Wells, he'd turn over in
his grave to think at the start
of a new millennium...
- [Man]some Iranian guy--
- [Woman]Armenian. Armenian guy.
Some Armenian would be
deliverin' a goat's head to the
door of the woman that he loved.
- Backward culture over there.
- Let me tell you.
We're all backwards, Berta.
- Our machines are all modern
and shit, but our minds?
- Gary.
Our minds are primitive.
Our minds are primitive,
Berta.
- Hey.
- I gotta go home, baby.
All right, wait. I'm just
waitin' on the call, okay?
Come here.
- I gotta pick up the car.
This is not--
- Monica, sit down.
Excuse me.
Do you mind?
- Do you mind?
- Sorry.
Roberta, that's Freddy.
Freddy's cool.
He's got a bad ear.
He'd good people though.
Don't worry about it.
[Video Game]
You have no authority.
[Video Game]
You have no authority.
Yeah, yeah. Fine.
[TV Indistinct]
It's quiet tonight,
huh, Freddy?
Hmm?
It's quiet.
Everyone's at that
bachelor party across the river.
Oh, yeah.
Whoop-de-doo.
You got any quarters?
Don't look at me, I just
put two more in the meter.
- It's his birthday.
- [Figgis] Oh, yeah?
- He's going for high score.
- Happy Birthday, Freddy.
Happy Birthday.
Let me see what I got.
I wasn't into making
a big deal
after the ten-year thing.
Hey, hey, how you doin'?
Sorry, Freddy. Hey.
[Figgis]
I was wondering if you'd
be able to, uh, come by.
Yeah. 4 Aces.
Where else?
Shit!
Damn it.
Two kinds of people
in this world.
Pinball people
and video game people.
You, Freddy,
you're pinball people.
Always got somethin'
to say, Figgsy.
Come on. Freddy,
Freddy, Freddy.
Freddy! Freddy!
Come on.
Come on. Come on.
Come on.
It's bedtime, Sheriff.
- You all right to drive?
- Mm-hmm.
- You sure?
- Positive.
- Take it easy, Freddy.
- Take it easy.
[Radio] It was not Lady Luck
that Jim Maloney found
in Atlantic City.
It was the cops.
The 30-year-oldnative
of the Caribbean island
of Antigua...
was captured in a casino
just days after
an aspiring rap artist...
was fatally beaten
in a Queen's convenience store.
Sources have filled in some
of the blanks for 1 01 0 WINS
