Heat1995

Uniformed Officer:
You taking this one, Lieutenant? Or does it stay in Division?

Vincent:
Does this look like gangbangers working the local 7-11 to you? Robbery-Homicide's taking it.

Uniformed Officer:
It's all yours.

Det. Bosko:
We've got three motorists. All they saw were men with masks, they were distant. Console TV Man over there, however, he was closer. [gestures to the homeless man, who is being interviewed by another detective]

Vincent:
Did he ID anybody?

Det. Bosko:
Well he was hiding. He heard it mostly. [Hanna starts towards the bodies of the three guards]

Vincent:
OK, what about them?

Det. Bosko:
Right, now according to the TV Man, this guy started mouthing off.

Vincent:
Smart.

Det. Bosko:
Yeah, somebody called a guard "Slick".

Sgt. Drucker:
Slick?

Det. Bosko:
Yeah. Now this guy - I figure this guy went for that holdout piece, ankle holster, right from here. Bang. Bang. Bang-bang-bang, to this side. This guy here has got what appears to be a double-tap entry wound to the sternum. Tattooing around a head-wound, scorched bone, close range, probably executed. There was $1.6 million in bearer bonds, and they ignored the loose cash.

Vincent:
'Cause they had no time; 'cause they were on a clock, which means they knew our response time to a 211, had our air, immobilized it, entered, [and] escaped in under three minutes. It's a good spot here. We've got good escape routes - two freeways, within a quarter of a mile.

Det.-Sgt. Casals:
Traffic video camera?

Vincent:
Probably disabled. Check it anyway.

Sgt. Drucker:
You recognize the M.O.?

Vincent:
M.O. is that they're good. Once it escalated into a murder one beef for all of 'em, after they killed the first two guards, they didn't hesitate; pop guard number three because... what difference does it make? Why leave a living witness? Drop of a hat these guys will rock and roll. The shape charge--the shape charge indicates that they are technically proficient. Proficient enough to go in on the prowl, so let's start looking for recent highline burglaries that have mystified us. [to Casals] Run "Slick" as an alias to the FBI. We're gonna get the phone book. Do it anyway. [to Drucker] Who's movin' the bearer bonds? Check the usual fences. You and I will check with Cuzomano and Torena. [to Schwartz] I want you to take Goldstein and O'Farrell. [to Bosko] Hang in with forensics, from the bomb squad. I want the explosive. If we're lucky, it's exotic - we can trace the sale.
