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.
You 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.
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 at hand.
I'm trying to show
a pattern of behavior -
- that will illuminate the events
at Hunter's Point Raceway.
I'll let the testimony stand.
After the preliminary evidence
provided by the state, -
- and in adherence to laws specified
by the State of California...
- There he is!
- Order! This is a judicial hearing.
- No, it's some other guy.
- No, right there!
That's not him.
- Who are these men?
- That, Your Honor, is Inspector Cates.
- That's definitely not him.
- That's got to be the Iceman.
He's not the one I took the money from.
- That's got to be the Iceman.
- This is too much!
The state may proceed with
a criminal trial against Inspector Cates.
The trial date will be set for the
earliest opening on the court calendar.
- Iceman whacked out Price.
- You want to talk about it?
The man had no choice.
Your girl ratted him out to the cops.
That's no bullshit. You both know her.
She lives at the King Mei Hotel.
You should be more careful
about who you hang out with.
- Who pulled the trigger?
- What's the fucking difference?
The cops were getting too close.
It's business, not personal.
You should learn the difference.
Business... Yeah.
That's business, too.
You happy now, asshole?
That still doesn't change the job.
- You've got to kill Hammond.
- How do we do that?
Kirkland Smith is the dude
who kept Reggie alive in the joint.
Reggie owes him.
He's going to pay back.
The dude has a daughter who works
in the Haight Goodwill Store.
We're gonna get Hammond,
and the cop and the Iceman.
- We'll kill them all.
- Just stick to Hammond, Joe Bob.
I keep forgetting the combination.
I don't want to see you clear out
your locker. We can get this guy.
I've been a cop for 20 years.
All I've ever been around
are pimps, murderers and robbers.
Between you and me, I've always
been straight. You did your best...
...so here's your $475,000.
You kept my money in a police locker?
Yeah! Hey, we've got no more ties.
You're a free man, Reg.
My advice to you is,
take this money and disappear.
- Are you sure, man?
- Yeah.
All right.
Thank you. Have a nice day.
Reggie Hammond. This is $75,000,
courtesy of your father.
- This money has got to be dirty.
- We both know your father is no angel.
This money is not stolen.
He helped me when I was in jail.
I owed him.
He thought it would benefit you.
A lot of fathers wouldn't even do this.
Accept it. Bye-bye.
Mr. Hammond... how is he?
He's good. You should go see him.
- Maybe.
- No, you should go see him.
- Hey.
- Hi, Ben.
- Sorry I couldn't help more.
- You did what you could.
It's gonna be pretty fucking dull
without you around here.
- Get a beer?
- Maybe later.
- You got a bunch of messages, Frank.
