Snake Eyes Page #6

I'm not some beat cop that needs

you to plant a piece for him.

Kevin, if there's one thing I know,

it's how to cover my ass.

I see this sh*t happen

every day.

What you say and do right this minute

is gonna change the rest of your life.

Go to confession later,

but don't bury yourself now!

Clear it out! Comin' through.

Those are state cops.

They're gaming enforcement.

They're gonna try and muscle us,

but we're not gonna let that happen.

If we're first contact when the feds get

here, everybody writes from our report...

...and your story holds up

because we say so.

We just gotta keep

all the media outta here till then.

How long will it take

the feds to get here?

No comment.

This is an active investigation.

F.B.I.'s gotta come from Trenton,

so that's an hour...

...maybe an hour and a half

with the storm.

So we just gotta fight these guys for an hour

and a half, and you're in the clear, okay?

- I can't lie, Rick.

- It isn't lying!

You just tell 'em what you did right,

and you leave out the rest!

Shouldn't even be here.

This is a crime scene.

Or you can throw away

your whole career.

Gordon Pritzker, Division of Gaming Enforcement.

What the hell is going on here?

an officer-involved shooting.

Secretary Kirkland

was shot in the neck.

Paramedics just wheeled him out,

and that's the perpetrator.

Security detail leader

took him out during the shooting.

That's right.

Commander Kevin Dunne. I'm with D.O.D.

- Who are you?

- Atlantic City, Major Crimes.

- I'll take it now.

- No, bullshit you will.

This isn't my blood, all right?

It's the secretary's. I was

sitting right in front of him.

I'm a homicide detective and a material

witness. This is mine about six different ways!

A.C. Cops got no

business in the casino.

This is strictly D.G.E.

and state police.

We're not on the casino floor, Gordo!

And this arena ain't the Millennium yet!

It's Atlantic City, New Jersey,

and that belongs to me!

I'm acting case agent until relieved

by appropriate federal authority!

Now, you want to help, you go tell your men

to get all the media outta here right now!

Unless you want the 9:00 news

to give the secretary's wife and kids...

...a close-up look

at his internal organs.

Phil, Jim, make this whole

arena a crime scene. Shut it down.

Nobody goes in or out till

the main investigating party gets here.

You're the one who told them

to seal the doors?

You can't hold 14,000 people

in these goddam exit tunnels!

Yes, we did,

and yes, we can.

Those are 14,000

eyewitnesses!

- Excuse me...

- We can just take as long as it takes...

...to get 14,000 addresses

and 14,000 phone numbers...

...and take 14,000 pictures,
