Am I dealing with something here I can't handle? I mean, you two are just a couple of, high-rolling cowboys from Jersey with a briefcase full of cash... isn't that right, detectives? I used my agency priority call to do a backtrace on that phone number you gave me. Are you trying to get me killed? [raises voice] I'm on an investigation here!
Hey, hey, hey, are you sure about that?
What is that supposed to mean?
That means you haven't checked with the bureau in over 3 weeks, or your wife. You move out of the apartment they set you up in, and your own people can't even find you.
Artie, they think you've gone over.
I don't want you or anybody else to question my methods. If I make a strategic decision to cut corners, to throw the book away, that's my decision because it's me out here and nobody else. Now I got tapes, records, full documentation of prostitution, kiddy porn, extortion, at least 7 murders. I can bust Kovics whenever I want to.
So what are you waiting for?
Because when I haul him in I want him to stay there! When he goes down he's going to go down so hard he doesn't come up! I've seen things!
