Cagney and Lacey s04e20 Con Games.eng Subtitles

00:00:00,001 --> 00:00:05,I'm putting my career on the line and I
came off looking like I needed

00:00:05,540 --> 00:00:08,penicillin. Then I suggest you don't get
up on the witness stand.

00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:10,How many men have you been to bed with?

00:00:10,801 --> 00:00:14,I don't know how to answer that. He's
making everything sound like such a big

00:00:14,980 --> 00:00:19,deal. I mean, putting everything in the
worst possible light. She could take

00:00:19,180 --> 00:00:21,care of my libido.

00:00:22,180 --> 00:00:24,And I could take care of her career. You
liar, Hennessy.

00:00:25,180 --> 00:00:28,Detective Cagney, you are perilously
close to a contempt citation.

00:00:29,620 --> 00:00:30,Help me.

00:02:06,780 --> 00:02:09,Welcome to the wonderful world of con
games.

00:02:10,259 --> 00:02:14,They say there's nothing new under the
sun, but for your amusement, we have

00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,up with a particularly interesting
variation on the old handkerchief

00:02:18,860 --> 00:02:24,Now, the player approaches her pigeon at
banks and S &Ls. So far, there have

00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:25,been seven.

00:02:25,700 --> 00:02:26,Yeah?

00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,You mean we've g***t to hang around a bank
all day just waiting to be hit on?

00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:32,G***t a problem with that?

00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,Well, there's g***t to be 10 ,000 banks in
this city. It's a needle in a haystack.

00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,More like 20 needles in a haystack.

00:02:39,700 --> 00:02:42,And our player won't be hard to spot.
She's wearing purdah.

00:02:42,741 --> 00:02:46,That's the black Arabic dress, you know,
with the veils, covers up the face, the

00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:47,whole routine.

00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:52,Now, the pitch is, she's afraid to put
her money in the bank because in her

00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,country, a woman can't take it back out
without getting the man's permission.

00:02:56,260 --> 00:03:01,Well, our pigeon wants to show her how
easy it is by taking her own money out

00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:02,the bank.

00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,America. What a wonderful country.

00:03:06,620 --> 00:03:09,That's when the old handkerchief switch
takes place.

00:03:09,331 --> 00:03:13,The player asks the pigeon to hold the
money that she's brought while she goes

00:03:13,780 --> 00:03:14,back and gets the rest.

00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:20,Well, you want to prove you're legit,
right? So you put your money in with

00:03:21,620 --> 00:03:22,Yeah.

00:03:22,820 --> 00:03:27,Excuse me, sir, but this is the part
that never makes sense to me. You're

00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,You're right. It doesn't make any sense.
But somebody does fall for this.

00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,to the tune of millions of dollars a
year.

00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:34,Okay?

00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,Do you have a name on the Arab lady?

00:03:37,860 --> 00:03:41,I'm glad you asked that question. This
is the really cute part. She's only

00:03:41,740 --> 00:03:46,posing as an Arab. Her real name is
Hilda Rosenblum.

00:03:46,521 --> 00:03:49,That little town couple never even
answered my question. He answered your

00:03:49,970 --> 00:03:52,question, Mary Beth. He just said it
didn't make any sense. Oh, thank you

00:03:52,810 --> 00:03:53,much, Christine.

00:03:53,590 --> 00:03:56,This whole assignment doesn't make any
sense. Who thinks up these stupid decoy

00:03:56,630 --> 00:04:00,jobs anyway? Would you quit bellyaching?
I agree that it's dumb, but you're only

00:04:00,010 --> 00:04:01,going to be on it a day and a half.

00:04:01,511 --> 00:04:04,Tuesday's the sexual harassment hearing,
right?

00:04:04,130 --> 00:04:07,You want to say it a little louder? I
don't think the rest of the department

00:04:07,370 --> 00:04:09,to hear it. Sorry, Christine, I wasn't
thinking.

00:04:09,650 --> 00:04:12,Listen, we've been sniping at each other
all week, and I want you to know I'm on

00:04:12,390 --> 00:04:15,your side here, so I'm willing to knock
it off if you are.

00:04:16,910 --> 00:04:18,It's probably my fault.

00:04:18,250 --> 00:04:19,Here, he's g***t me on it.

00:04:19,690 --> 00:04:20,What do you g***t?

00:04:20,750 --> 00:04:23,The Menudo trial has continued for two
weeks.

00:04:23,041 --> 00:04:25,I've seen your calls, said he's going
bowling.

00:04:25,470 --> 00:04:28,Michael called, wants to know if he can
sleep at Jeffrey's house. And Muriel won

00:04:28,430 --> 00:04:32,$20 a bingo last night. Oh, he loves the
sense of privacy, the discretion. He

00:04:32,290 --> 00:04:34,reads your in -messages out loud to
everybody.

00:04:34,550 --> 00:04:37,Cagney, there hasn't been a gentleman
caller for you for three days. If I were

00:04:37,350 --> 00:04:38,you, I'd check my horoscope.

00:04:38,850 --> 00:04:40,You can be replaced, Coleman.

00:04:40,590 --> 00:04:42,Never. One of a kind. Order something
else.

00:04:43,260 --> 00:04:44,I'm not interested.

00:04:44,311 --> 00:04:47,Oh, I'm sure you're not, but Deputy
Inspector Nelman is here and wants to

00:04:47,500 --> 00:04:50,you. You want me to tell you what it's
about or you want to be surprised?

00:04:59,740 --> 00:05:01,Tackett? Good afternoon to Tackett.

00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,Bert, would you leave us alone for a
minute?

00:05:18,770 --> 00:05:20,So, Cagney. Oh, please.

00:05:20,870 --> 00:05:21,Sit down.

00:05:26,150 --> 00:05:28,Oh, I hear you took the sergeant's exam.

00:05:28,170 --> 00:05:29,Yes, sir.

00:05:29,410 --> 00:05:31,How are you feeling about it? Confident?

00:05:31,510 --> 00:05:32,I'm hoping for the best.

00:05:33,610 --> 00:05:34,Good.

00:05:35,010 --> 00:05:36,Good, good. Very good.

00:05:38,470 --> 00:05:41,Oh, this is stupid. I mean, my beating
around the bush here.

00:05:42,710 --> 00:05:46,It's just that I know how strongly you
feel about this sexual harassment thing.

00:05:47,820 --> 00:05:50,You're d***n right I feel strongly about
it, Inspector.

00:05:50,660 --> 00:05:53,Captain Hennessy threatened my career if
I did not sleep with him.

00:05:53,971 --> 00:05:56,I can get pretty worked up over
something like that.

00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,I understand that, Cagney.

00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,And I sympathize with that.

00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,I've g***t a political job, Cagney. I
mean, there's no getting around that.

00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,I have to concern myself with image.

00:06:15,530 --> 00:06:18,The public's image and perception of the
police force.

00:06:18,990 --> 00:06:23,I mean, thank God that the media has not
g***t a hold of this yet, because if they

00:06:23,270 --> 00:06:26,do, do you know what that does to the
image of this department?

00:06:27,770 --> 00:06:28,Yes, sir.

00:06:29,210 --> 00:06:30,Your department, Cagney.

00:06:31,450 --> 00:06:34,You're a second -generation cop. You're
here for the long haul.

00:06:34,990 --> 00:06:38,What's good for this department is good
for you.

00:06:38,750 --> 00:06:42,What happened to Hennessy? He acted
unprofessionally, and he deserves to be

00:06:42,750 --> 00:06:43,punished.

00:06:43,990 --> 00:06:45,Effectively, he has been.

00:06:45,251 --> 00:06:48,He's never going to make deputy
commissioner. You're blowing him out of

00:06:48,570 --> 00:06:49,water.

00:06:49,850 --> 00:06:52,I want to make sure this sort of thing
never happens again.

00:06:56,770 --> 00:07:00,He has assured me personally that it
won't.

00:07:04,030 --> 00:07:09,Look, Cagney, I know this is hard, and I
know it isn't really fair.

00:07:10,250 --> 00:07:16,But what I'm asking you is to maybe
sacrifice your personal and justifiable

00:07:16,930 --> 00:07:21,hurt and anger for the good of this
department.

00:07:24,850 --> 00:07:27,You'll think about it, won't you,
Cagney?

00:07:28,310 --> 00:07:29,That's all I'm asking.

00:07:39,820 --> 00:07:40,a long time ago now.

00:07:42,060 --> 00:07:44,And you know, in the end, I mean,
nothing happened.

00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:45,Uh -huh.

00:07:45,731 --> 00:07:52,I've been trying to talk to other women
who work with Hennessy, and none of them

00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,want to get near me.

00:07:53,540 --> 00:07:55,You think he harassed one of them, too?

00:07:55,940 --> 00:07:56,I don't know.

00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,You know, that's the last one I talked
to tonight.

00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:01,And then what?

00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:06,Maybe Nelman's right.

00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,I'm sure Hennessy's gotten the idea by
now.

00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,So you told him you'd drop it?

00:08:15,700 --> 00:08:17,I told him I'd think about it.
