Serpico:
All my life I wanted to be a cop, you know. It's like I can remember nothing else. I remember this one time - there was, eh, somethin' happened. A domestic argument or somethin'. Somebody stabbed somebody or somethin'. And - there was this crowd around this tenement. I must have been nine, ten years old. I was this big. I went over to see what was going on. I noticed the red light - goin' around and around, all these people, and I couldn't see. And I kept saying, "Do you know what's goin' on? Do you know?" Nobody knew. It was like a big mystery behind that - that crowd there. All of a sudden, the crowd just parted. Like the Red Sea, you see? And there were these guys in blue, and I said, "They know." What do they know? What do they know?

Summary: Frank Serpico is an idealistic New York City cop who refuses to take bribes, unlike the rest of the force. His actions get Frank shunned by the other officers, and often placed in dangerous situations by his partners. When his superiors ignore Frank's accusations of corruption, he decides to go public with the allegations. Although this causes the Knapp Commission to investigate his claims, Frank has also placed a target on himself.
