00:17:31	The message will be clear.
00:17:33	The new LAPD will not tolerate officers
00:17:39	Dick Stensland is an embarrassment
00:17:42	He's had rotten fitness reports
00:17:46	But White is a valuable officer.

00:20:29	l wanted to catch the guys who
00:20:33	lt was about justice.
00:20:36	Then somewhere along the way
00:20:43	Why'd you become a cop?

00:23:19	How would Meeks get his hands
00:23:23	You're right.
00:23:24	lt's probably bullshit.
00:23:26	Even if he did,
00:23:29	Not without drawing
00:23:32	Maybe that's why he's under a house
00:23:37	...paesano.

00:33:48	Although he was found in Echo Park,
00:33:54	l want 2-man teams to scour
00:33:58	Our justice must be swift. . .
00:34:01	. . .and merciless.
00:34:05	That is all.
00:34:15	Might l have a word with you?
00:34:20	We're trying to run down a lead
00:34:23	The records check has led to a dead end.
00:34:26	What's the name?
00:34:27	Rollo Tomasi?
00:34:31	You ever heard Vincennes mention him?
00:34:35	No. No, l haven't.
00:34:41	lt's probably nothing. Still. . .
00:34:45	. . .keep your eyes open, boyo.
00:34:56	l know it's unlikely, but suppose. . .
00:34:59	. . .somebody had a lot of heroin,
00:35:03	White, in my office.
00:35:05	Captain. Look, just give me a name.
00:35:08	Mickey Cohen.
00:35:15	Captain?
00:35:17	l could use your fearsome
00:35:20	When?
00:35:23	Now.
00:35:26	Close the door, lad.
00:35:35	You're a bit of a
00:35:38	You don't seem your old cruel self.
00:35:41	And l had such grand plans
00:35:44	What plans?
00:35:46	You have your extracurricular
00:35:53	We must have a clarification
00:35:57	However. . .
00:35:59	. . .right now. . .
00:36:01	. . .we'll brace a man who may know
00:36:04	So the question is. . .
00:36:06	. . .can l count on you, lad?
00:36:08	-Yes or no?
00:36:14	l want to know everything you and
00:36:18	Start with the l.D. on the corpse.
00:36:20	An ex-cop.
00:36:22	Leland ''Buzz'' Meeks.
00:36:24	An ex-cop?
00:36:25	Did Jack know him?
00:36:27	Only by reputation.
00:36:35	Wendell, this is Sid Hudgens.
00:36:37	l'm willing to cooperate.
00:36:40	lt's for your own safety.
00:36:43	What can you tell us
00:36:46	Hollywood Jack? The Big V?
00:36:49	l can tell you he's on
00:36:56	l had nothing to do with him
00:36:59	-But you were business associates.
00:37:05	Okay, so we worked together.
00:37:07	lt was an information exchange.
00:37:10	l got him first-class collars, he got me
00:37:14	We'll drop that for now.
00:37:16	What about Pierce Patchett?
00:37:18	You think he had something to do
00:37:23	l'd like full and docile
00:37:26	Okay, okay, okay. All right.
00:37:30	Everyone knows Patchett's
00:37:33	But he has hobbies too.
00:37:35	He bankrolls B movies under the table.
00:37:38	And try this one on.
00:37:40	He's rumored to be a heroin sniffer.
00:37:42	All in all, a powerful
00:37:45	-And?
00:37:51	Reciprocity, Mr. Hudgens,
00:37:58	He runs call girls.
00:38:01	Primo tail fixed up
00:38:07	And?
00:38:08	Blackmail shit.
00:38:11	ln my car, in the trunk,
00:38:13	Patchett got me to photograph this cop
00:38:18	She looks just like Veronica Lake.
00:38:21	Leave him!
00:38:22	l said leave him be!
00:38:24	Get him away from me!
00:38:27	Back off!
00:39:10	l wouldn't trade places with Exley right
00:39:18	Dudley, l thought you were going to
00:39:23	Learn to pull your punches
00:39:25	You can uncuff me now, fellas.
00:39:33	Fellas. . .
00:39:36	. . .we had a deal.
00:39:37	You, me, Patchett. We're a team.
00:39:43	Hush-hush.
00:39:46	-Anything?
00:39:48	Meeks never made an arrest
00:39:51	Someone must've pulled the files.
00:39:55	What about the daily report books?
00:39:57	-They'd be buried in the basement.
00:40:30	You talk to Exley?
00:40:32	Come in out of the rain.
00:40:35	What happened with Exley?
00:40:39	Just come in.
00:40:42	Will you tell me
00:40:45	We talked.
00:40:47	Tell me about him.
00:40:48	Later.
00:40:50	Now!
00:40:54	You fucked him.
00:40:59	You fucked him.
00:41:01	l thought l was helping you.
00:41:52	l'm glad you're here.
00:42:03	Wait.
00:42:30	Dudley killed Jack.
00:42:32	He wants you to kill me.
00:42:37	He showed you the photo, didn't he?
00:42:40	Didn't he?
00:42:43	Think! Goddamn you, think!
00:42:48	Get out!
00:43:05	l checked the daily report books.
00:43:08	Dudley, Buzz Meeks and
00:43:14	l knew Stensland lied to me.
00:43:19	Lefferts' mother l.D.'d
00:43:24	Stensland pretended he didn't know
00:43:29	. . .Lynn.
00:43:32	Stensland and Meeks. . .
00:43:34	. . .what were they up to?
00:43:36	l don't know. But l think
00:43:40	What heroin?
00:43:46	Johnny Stompanato told me
00:43:50	Meeks ends up dead.
00:43:52	Stensland dies at the Nite Owl.
00:43:55	lt wasn't the Negroes.
00:43:58	The rape victim lied.
00:44:00	The first guys to the Mercury coupe
00:44:04	Dudley's guys.
00:44:06	They planted the shotguns.
00:44:08	They'd have killed the Negroes too
00:44:12	Dudley framed them because
00:44:15	He knew there'd be no questions asked. . .
00:44:19	. . .if they were killed resisting arrest.
00:44:22	Somehow it's all connected
00:44:25	Sid Hudgens. . .
00:44:27	. . .the pictures to blackmail
00:44:30	A kid got murdered.
00:44:32	To figure it out,
00:44:40	Why are you doing this?
00:44:44	The Nite Owl made you.
00:44:47	You want to tear all that down?
00:44:50	With a wrecking ball.
00:44:52	Want to help me swing it?
00:45:06	Let's go see Ellis Loew.
00:45:08	Find out what
00:45:19	You can't go in there.
00:45:22	-Want me to call the police, Mr. Loew?
00:45:26	Tell him we're discussing an unemployed
00:45:30	These are the police.
00:45:37	What do you want?
00:45:38	l want D.A. bureau men to tail Dudley
00:45:43	l want you to get a judge to authorize
00:45:46	l want authorization
00:45:49	On what evidence?
00:45:51	Call it a hunch.
00:45:54	Absolutely not.
00:45:56	Dudley Smith is a highly-decorated
00:45:59	l won't smear his and
00:46:01	Without what?
00:46:02	Them smearing yours first?
00:46:04	What do they have? Pictures of you
00:46:10	You have proof?
00:46:12	The proof had his throat slit.
00:46:15	So far, you're not denying it.
00:46:18	l won't dignify this with answers.
00:46:20	Now if you gentlemen will excuse me. . .
00:46:23	. . .l have a press conference for Jack
00:46:37	Unless you came to wipe my ass,
00:46:45	Don't pull that good-cop-bad-cop crap.
00:46:50	So what if some homo actor is dead.
00:46:52	Boys, girls. Ten of them
00:47:03	Pull him off me!
00:47:04	l don't know how.
00:47:09	l know you think you're the A-number-one
00:47:13	lf l kill you, 1 0 lawyers
00:47:15	They just won't come on a bus.
00:47:30	Okay!
00:47:33	Dudley and Patchett, they. . . .
00:47:36	Oh, my God!
00:47:37	l wouldn't play ball so they set me up!
00:47:39	l gave in!
00:47:43	. . .so they killed him.
00:47:44	Why?
00:47:45	-What are Dudley and Patchett up to?
00:47:49	Because of those pictures
00:47:53	Oh, Jesus!
00:47:54	Help me up!
00:48:04	ls that how you ran
00:48:08	Patchett?
00:48:44	Looks like his bodyguard
00:48:52	Suicide note.
00:48:54	Says he killed Jack because Jack had
00:48:58	Slicing himself open wasn't his idea.
00:49:02	2 of his fingers are broken.
00:49:03	They held him there.
00:49:06	Or drugged him.
00:49:10	Dudley's tying up his loose ends.
00:49:13	Patchett's dead.
00:49:14	He sent you after me.
00:49:18	Lynn.
00:49:20	West Hollywood Sheriff.
00:49:21	-They're closer than we are.
00:49:31	We took her to the station
00:49:35	Hold her as Joan Smith.
00:49:39	Someone worked her over.
00:49:41	She wouldn't say who.
00:49:47	See you, Exley.
00:49:52	We should talk to Lynn.
00:49:54	You do it.
00:49:56	What will you do?
00:50:00	l'm going to talk to Sid Hudgens.
00:50:03	Compliment him on his
00:50:06	Remember, Bud, we need evidence.
00:50:09	l'll get the evidence.
00:50:22	Are you okay?
00:50:26	You okay?

00:52:28	Let's get out of here.
00:52:36	lt's too late.
00:53:25	You figured it was a set-up
00:53:27	A lot of bad stuff happened here.
00:53:30	lt's as good a place as any
00:53:42	Clip.
