in love with him.
They move around a lot.
I can never get in touch with them.
- Who can?
- I don't know. Those guys are nuts.
This is Officer Jack Cates.
Miss Lee was about to give us
the name of Mr Cherry's contact man.
The guy's name is Malcolm Price.
He's big, spooky eyes, long hair.
Nobody talks to Cherry
unless they talk to him first.
- Where do we find this guy?.
- I don't know.
- Hey...
- I swear. I only know the name.
- Thanks, babe.
- Hey, wait a minute.
- Where are you going?
- Have Kehoe run a Malcolm Price.
- He'll have a record. We're off.
- Your ass is gonna be grass.
I'm headed for an early funeral.
If the Iceman gets you,
we won't even find your body.
We need somebody
who knows about this shit.
- We should go back to prison.
- Bullshit.
You want to know about Price.
I know a guy who can finger him.
You should go to prison anyway, 'cause
you might be spending time there soon.
Get re-acquainted with the guys
whose rights you've violated.
I only arrest crooks.
You make it sound like crook was the
onlyjob these guys were qualified for.
That's a real good story.
Blame it on society.
If shit was worth something,
the poor would be born with no assholes.
It's me. I heard about it.
I warned you about dealing
with these crazy-ass crackers.
No, I ain't carrying.
That ain't my thing.
I'm a businessman, too, but I don't
want to get too close to these guys.
These guys have taken
all of the fun out of my work.
I remember.
You don't have to remind me.
Don't worry, I'll pull it together.
Kirkland, you've got some visitors.
Get that picture of the guy.
A small-time dealer called Burroughs,
he was recruited by the Iceman.
Do you know anything about the dude
he works for, Malcolm Price?
I know him.
Western Brotherhood.
If you want a hit done,
you've got to go through Price.
- Have you got an address?
- I'm not 411. You look it up.
Sunset Motel on the Beltway.
Give the phone back to Reggie.
What's his problem? Do you mind?
I'm trying to talk to the brother here.
Can you excuse us?
The brother wants to talk. Black stuff.
- It's private.
- You mind?
Can you go over there? Thank you.
- It's private.
- All right.
Look, now I've given you something
you need... for the second time.
Yes, and I appreciate your patience,
and thank you.
You will... repay your debt to me!
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Hey, man, not to worry.
We got lots of back-up.
Come on in and have a drink.
Malcolm Price.
It must have been a real good lead.
Somebody shot him 16 times.
I've been chasing the Iceman for years.
It's always a dead end.
- This job will drive you crazy.
- Yeah, yeah...
- Jack, the Iceman is a cop.
- No way.
Put this shit together.
You call for Price's address.
The Iceman shows up first.
- It's a coincidence. Bad luck.
- It's no coincidence.
And the brother
whose picture you had?
You've got to run
a mugshot through NCIC.
- How long does that take?
- Hours... sometimes it's slow.
Know why the Iceman wants to kill me?
It has nothing to do with money.
He wants to kill me because
I've seen him. I can blow his cover.
Find out which guy is putting up
the most resistance to you on this.
That is probably the Iceman.
It has to be Wilson. That prick
has been dogging my ass for years.
Ever since I started looking
for the Iceman. All through this thing.
I've got to get you over to the hearing
to ID this guy.
They might decide to put me away
for good. It started two hours ago.
After the incident
with Inspector Cates
he dredged up this idea of a criminal
mastermind running the Bay Area.
For four years he has wasted
resources and manpower
in trying to vindicate
himself and his theories.
Describe his professional attitude.
When an officer takes it upon himself
to violate department regulations,
it makes it hard
for a good cop to do his job.
Objection. These remarks have
nothing to do with the incident.
I'm trying to show
a pattern of
