Narc Page #3

Synopsis: An undercover narc dies, the investigation stalls, so the Detroit P.D. brings back Nick Tellis, fired 18-months ago when a stray bullet hits a pregnant woman. Tellis teams with Henry Oak, a friend of the dead narc and an aggressive cop constantly under the scrutiny of internal affairs. They follow leads, informants turn up dead, Nick's wife is unhappy he's back on the street, Henry's protective of the dead cop's wife. Nick reads and re-reads the case file, broods, watches Oak's heavy-handed style, sometimes joining in. The brass want to close out the case, Nick and Henry stay on it, and bits of evidence point them to an auto body shop. What actually happened; will Nick ever know?

on guys like you.

They bunted you on a reflex.

Probably, but I'm telling you

the truth.

You weren't approached

or asked in any way

to keep tabs on me for lA?

No, I was not.

Hey, I don't blame you

for asking.

You don't do what I did

and just waltz back in.

Now what does that tell you?

That tells me

that this investigation

is running on f***ing fumes.

Don't get confused thinking

that this is about Calvess.

I know it's not.

This is all politics.

This is political appointments,

it's referendums,

it's squashing a race riot.

You think those a**holes upstairs

give a sh*t and a shake

about Michael Calvess?

They didn't know him,

they don't care about him,

and they can't forget

about him fast enough.

The only thing you

need to know about me

is that I'm going to bag

the motherfuckers that killed Mike.

If that means breaking

every point of procedure,

then they're broke.

It's because his life was worth

a little bit more

than a wreath and a rifle salute.

You understand?

No, it's just me.

And what about you?

What about me?

Well, why you coming back

to this sh*t?

Cops die daily, and they die bad.

What makes Mike the exception?

I don't know.

You don't know?

Just something to do?

Something.

I know what time it is,

but you can still give me a kiss.

Audrey, I don't want to get into this

with you right now.

I just want to go to sleep.

I just want to lay down next to you,

and go right to sleep.

You want to kick my ass

all over in the morning,

that's... that's fine, but...

I just want to...

I'm f***ing beat, man.

You guys ever see this guy?

His name was Jimmy Fredricks...

was his street name.

He'd be dirtier, he was undercover.

No, no, no.

Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa.

What are you jumping up and down for?

What the f***'s the matter with you?

- Cold, man.

- Shut up.

Eh! What are you,

his interpreter?

Speak English, will you?

You're f***ing in America.

Speak English.

Remember a guy named Jimmy Franks?

No, man.

Stop jumping up and f***ing down.

Have you ever seen him?

He used to do a lot

of business down here.

I'm the one that does business

on the bridge.

Oh, yeah?

You ever seen this guy before?

He's a cop... street name's

Jimmy Fredricks.

A guy named Jimmy Fredricks.

What's his street name?

That's his name...

Jimmy Fredricks.

He'd sometimes go by Calvess.

No?

No.

- Nothing?

- Nothing.

How you doing, all right?

Everything beautiful, yeah.

Yeah?

Let me ask you a little bit of a...

there was a cat named Jimmy Fredricks,

used to hang around here.

Jimmy Fredricks?

Yeah, yeah.

I don't know that guy.

Let's go, a**hole, game's over.

I want to ask you

a question about a guy.
