It. Now, these men were crushed and

the first natural reaction the body

has to such trauma is to tense up.

So now the two shots fired here were

reflex rounds. These guys weren't

shooting at anything, but they were

just about to.

Mitchell returns.

MITCHELL

Agent Smecker,

(pointing to MacManus

building)

This is all illegal loft housing so

there's no manager on the premises

but I found a lady on the fourth

floor said she's had water dripping

down on her whole place. Started

just this morning.

SMECKER

Fourth floor huh? Then we're heading

to the fifth. Let's go up and see

just how right I am.

INT. MACMANUS' APT. BUILDING FIRST FLOOR MORNING

The detectives pile into the elevator, Smecker last. Greenly

has rejoined them. Smecker sips his latte.

DUFFY

So what are you thinkin' here?

SMECKER

Really want to know?

All the detectives chant the affirmative. The doors close.

INT. MACMANUS' APT. BUILDING ELEVATOR FIFTH FLOOR MORNING

As the doors open, all the detectives chorus their disbelief.

GREENLY

No way. You know how big a guy's

gotta be to do that? Fuckin' huge.

Smecker turns to Greenly in disbelief.

SMECKER

(beat)

Oooo. I might be wanting a bagel

with my coffee.

Smecker exits the elevator leaving the three silent detectives

with that thought.

GREENLY

(to Dolly)

I ain't getting him no fuckin' bagel.

The detectives exit the elevator.

INT. MACMANUS' DOORWAY INSIDE APT LOOKING OUT TO HALL

MORNING

Smecker appears first, glancing in momentarily. The detectives

pile in behind him. They survey the situation in total awe.

SMECKER

(to Greenly)

We'll start the ass kissing with

you.

EXT. MACMANUS' APT. BUILDING FRONT STEPS MORNING

Smecker saunters out, detectives on his heels.

MITCHELL

(approaches Smecker)

Agent Smecker. I know this

neighborhood pretty good. There's a

bar called McGinty's down the block.
