Sharky's Machine Page #4

Synopsis: Tom Sharky is a narcotics cop in Atlanta who's demoted to vice after a botched bust. In the depths of this lowly division, while investigating a high-dollar prostitution ring, Sharky stumbles across a mob murder with government ties, and responds by assembling his downtrodden fellow investigators (Sharky's "machine") to find the leaders and bring them to justice before they kill off all his partners and witnesses, including Sharky himself.

down here in a minute.

Something strange here. Look.

- Every name is 7 letters.

- Yeah.

Isn't that weird?

- Look at the money this guy's got.

- Maybe not.

What do you think that means?

It's not your money. What are you doing?

Put it back in the bag.

Jesus. Look at this.

Uh, listen,

if you don't let me go pee,

I'll have to do it here.

And this place looks like a shithole,

so I guess it wouldn't

matter anyway, would it?

Yeah, well, anyways, that Chink hooker

that got blown away with Tad Roper.

Jesus. Somebody oughta call the cops.

What'd you tell Homicide?

I told them to eat sh*t.

Yeah. Sure.

The Department allowed all

the taps on all but one.

Yeah? Which one?

This one. Number 2. Dominoe.

Usually means another

section's on top of it.

What section?

Look, I don't know! Jesus, you got 5 taps!

You'll be getting tapes tomorrow!

Ineed 6.

Sharky, we can't get that one.

I can get that one.

Bullshit.

How?

This friend of mine. He's

buried in Personnel.

He's a top wire man.

He'll do it as a favor to me.

Favor my ass, Sharky.

Nobody does Vice any favors.

I'm telling you, he'll

do it as a favor to me.

Piss off, Sharky!

You're an ungrateful son of a b*tch.

Ey, ey, ey!

This is my house.

Don't you talk to me that way.

I'll tear you apart right now, right here!

I'll kick the sh*t out of you!

I'll knock you to your knees!
