Jack Mosley is sitting in a bus, where he is recording a message to “Diane”, and he says he wants her to know what really happened here, despite what the police might claim happened. Jack is an alcoholic, burned-out NYPD detective. Back at the precinct house, after working all night guarding a crime scene, his lieutenant gives him a simple assignment: escort a witness to the courthouse, which is 16 blocks away. The witness will be testifying in front of a grand jury, but the jury is set to be dismissed at 10 a.m., which gives them 118 minutes (almost two hours) to get to the courthouse.
The witness is Eddie Bunker, a chatterbox who quickly gets on Jack’s nerves. A few blocks into the trip they get stuck in rush-hour traffic, so Jack hops out of the car and goes into a nearby liquor store, where he buys a bottle and takes a drink right in the store. Left in the back-seat of the car, Eddie cannot believe what Jack is doing and is voicing his displeasure to no one in particular when a man with a gun appears at the window. Instead of killing Eddie, he is shot dead by Jack, who is then shot at by the dead assailant’s partner. Jack manages to get into his cruiser and run over the man who was shooting at him.
Jack and Eddie go to a nearby bar, one that Jack is familiar with. Jack kicks everybody out of the bar including the owner, then calls the station for backup. Jack’s ex-partner, homicide detective Frank Nugent and several other cops come into the bar. Frank tries to get Jack to let him have Eddie, but Jack does not agree, sensing something is not right with the situation. Frank explains to Jack that Eddie is about to testify against a (dirty) cop, who will in turn testify against many others to save himself. Frank takes Jack’s gun away, and hands it to one of his guys. The gun gets wiped clean, and placed into Eddie’s hand. Eddie is forced to fire a shot from Jack’s gun, and is about to get executed when Jack takes the bar owner’s double-barrel shotgun and shoots the cop (who was about to kill Eddie) in the legs. Jack takes Eddie and goes out the back door. Frank, really angry but still maintaining his poise, calls in more backups to find Jack and Eddie, claiming that Jack snapped and has started shooting at cops. Read more
