Mookie screams: "nooooooo"

Camera cuts to Officer Ponte in the car driving away

Dispatch comes through "a fire at Sals Pizzeria, calling first available unit"

The officers look at each other knowingly

Cop car turns around, signature Spike Lee floating shot, but done in a vehicle and dual screen

Officer Long goes to open the fire hose

It's jammed

The kids from earlier show up to help him

Officer Ponte runs into the pizzeria

Smiley stutters: m-m-mu-mu-murderer
Officer Ponte: I'm trying to help you

Italian pictures start falling off the wall, slow pan on them catch flames

Sal yells from the street: HURRY!

Ponte grabs Smiley and runs for the door but it's jammed. They pick up the trash can Mookie threw together and hurl it into the door, it opens and they collapse on the street

The Mayor extends a hand to help up Ponte: Come here Doc

Ponte looks up

Mayor: Doctor, always do the right thing

Officer Long runs over out of breath: is that it?

Mookie looking at the flames whispers to himself: that's it

Vito: I got it

Pino: I'm gone
