about it?

Of course there's guilt.

I have sleepless nights

about some things.

No one's innocent.

Everyone has their ghosts.

- Are you all right?

- Aye.

Are you sure?

Paddy!

Beautiful! All you need now

is a house, kids and a dog.

Look at this.

Wait till I get around.

Take the radio.

35 Sergeant.

We've got a 1032 in progress.

He's got a gun!

Police! Freeze!

- Are you all right?

- Yeah, I got the f***er!

Stop, damn it!

Toss it!

Don't make me shoot you.

A**hole!

Eddie!

Are you okay?

He was getting away.

He's dead, man.

Half his face is gone.

- What happened?

- He was getting away.

- He turned with a gun in his hand.

- You shot him in the back.

Here's his gun.

He tossed it around the corner.

He shot at us, Tommy!

He shot at us!

Thanks. Ted.

- You did good, Tom.

- Grand jury?

- Yeah. Have you talked to Sheila?

- I'll wait till I get home.

- You want a lift?

- No, I'm okay.

- You're Diaz, right?

- Yeah. That mutt shot at me...

- Is this your PBA rep?

- Yes, he is.

Didn't he tell you that you don't have

to make a statement for 48 hours?

- Yes, he did.

- Take his advice. Tommy.

- How did it go in there?

- Fine.

What does that mean? Fine?

You shot him in the back.

- He was running away.

- He shot at us!

We're in the police business,

not the revenge business.

Did you cover for me?

I'm fine. I just had a few drinks.

I didn't want to drive.

He's here now.

We'll be a half hour or so. Okay.

Are you all right there, Tommy?

There was a shooting today.

Eddie killed a guy.

- Killed the bad guy?

- Not that bad. I saw his sheet.

A couple of punk things, but...

Poor Eddie.

Pull over.

I'm gonna be sick.

- Are you okay then?

- Just give me a minute.

You've got The Exorcist here.

New York's finest.

- Sorry...

- It's all right.

Can I ask you something?

Have you ever shot anyone?

No, I've never shot anyone.

I've fired my gun four times

on the street.

Four times in 23 years.

If you pick up a gun, sooner

or later someone gets a bullet.

- Big boys' rules.

- And what do you know about that?

Common knowledge, I suppose.

Did you ever shoot anybody?

When I was eight, this man came

into the house and killed my dad.

He killed my dad in front of us.

Let's go, please.

I'm sorry about your dad.

- Did they get the f***ers?

- They are the f***ers.

Don't look for happy endings, Tom.

It's not an American story.

It's an Irish one.

What is it?

Lopez didn't have a gun in his hand

when he was shot. He tossed it.

Eddie didn't see him toss it.

I had the gun when Eddie shot him.

It was a bad call.

- You covered for him.

- I lied about how it went down.

I've thought it through.

I'm going to take my pension.
