come back here

and put two between your eyes.

Where's EMS?

This thing was a clusterfuck

to end all clusterfucks.

You got nothing.

How about felony murder?

No drugs, right?

So no predicate felony,

no conspiracy,

no nothing.

No felony. No felony.

l can't believe this.

No felony.

How do you spell felony?

Homicide, racketeering, drugs--

l mean, what are we talking about?

Hey, you're lucky

that white girl didn't die.

lAB is gonna interview

both of you

and do a preliminary report

over the next couple of weeks.

Now off the record

you actually didn't violate procedure

because the victim had a firearm

aimed at you,

so if you stick together

you should make it through this.

You'd better get

your story straight too,

'cause l'm not going back to Far Rockaway

because you two f***ed up.

And you're gonna spend some couch time

with the rubber-gun squad.

And you'd better take this shrink seriously

or you'll be off active duty.

That f***ing piece of sh*t

just walks.

Knock it off, Turk.

Relax, partner.

He's gonna get his.

Gentlemen, your questions.

- Who made the decision to enter?

- l did.

- Whose decision was it to enter?

- Mine.

Did you immediately identify yourselves

as police officers?

- Yes, we did.

- Did you immediately identify yourselves?

The informant's position

was becoming untenable.

- We were afraid she was in danger.

- Turns out you were right.

- No f***ing kidding, nine-to-fiver.

- Excuse me, Detective?

Are you finished

with my client?

- They're like Lennon and McCartney.

- Not an inch of daylight between them.

What do you think?

Nothing there.

They endangered the informant.

We can't make them wrong on that.

They saw a gun, they reacted.

They beat the f***

out of the suspect,

but he's not filing charges.

Let's see what the shrink says.

So what are we gonna

do now, Doc?

Are we gonna find out

if l'm sane enough

to carry a gun,

chase bad guys?

Okay, why did you become a cop?

Well, it was New Year's Eve.

lt seemed like a good idea at the time.

l didn't have the same opportunities

you had, Dr. Prosky.

Where l come from

it was either a gun and a badge

or a hard hat and a hammer.

How do you feel

when you fire your weapon?

lt's like Dirty Harry said--

''There's nothing wrong

with a little shooting as long as

the right people get shot.''

And when the wrong people

get shot?

lt sucks, but l'd rather be in it

that out of it.

There's nothing worse

than being stuck on a bench.

How do you feel when you see

innocent people get killed?

You know...

l sort of get numb to it.

Here.

l want you to take this.

Use it to jot down your thoughts,

your questions,

anything you may have noticed
