:02:00
and no-one else.
:02:02
So far as you are concerned,
he has no superiors.
:02:06
You'll give him your co-operation...
:02:10
and your obedience,
:02:12
and I expect this precinct
:02:15
to maintain its high record with the
department under your new lieutenant.
:02:20
Do you wish to make any remarks,
Lieutenant?
:02:23
I'll talk to the men individually.
:02:25
Good idea.
:02:27
Dixon, I want to talk to you.
:02:29
- I'll use your office, Thomas.
- Yes, sir.
:02:31
- That's all, boys.
- Congratulations.
:02:34
Good luck, Lieutenant.
:02:38
Sit down, Dixon.
:02:41
We've had 12 more legitimate citizen
complaints against you this month
:02:46
for assault and battery.
:02:48
From who? Hoods, dusters, mugs.
Lot of nickel rats.
:02:52
You're a big disappointment to me,
Dixon.
:02:55
You've just seen a man who
started out at the same time you did
:02:59
take a big step up in the department,
:03:01
which you'll never do
unless you get hold of yourself.
:03:04
I know what to get hold of, sir:
A little more pull.
:03:06
Sit still!
:03:08
You've got to learn what's expected
of a police officer and what isn't.
:03:13
Yes, sir. I'll try to learn
not to hate hoods so much.
:03:16
You don't hate hoodlums, you like to
beat them up. You get fun out of it.
:03:20
You like to read about yourself
in the newspapers
:03:23
as the tough cop
who isn't afraid to wade in anywhere.
:03:26
Your job is to detect criminals,
not to punish them.
:03:33
Is that all, sir?
:03:36
I'm reducing your rank, Dixon.
You're going back to second grade.
:03:40
Any more complaints against you
for cruelty or roughhouse
:03:44
and you'll be back in uniform
pounding a beat.
:03:47
It's no fun telling you this.
:03:49
You're a good man with a good brain,
:03:52
but you're no good to the department
unless you learn to control yourself.
:03:58
All right, you can go now.
