Laurie:
Everybody knows about cops. Did you ever hear the story of the wise king?
Serpico:
Nope, but I got the feeling I'm gonna hear it.
Laurie:
Well, there was this king, and he ruled over his kingdom. Right in the middle of the kingdom there was a well. And that's where everybody drank. And one night, this witch came along and she poisoned the well. And the next day, everybody drank from it except the king and they all went crazy. They got together in the street and they said "We got to get rid of the king, 'cause the king is mad." And then that night, he went down and he drank from the well. And the next day all the people rejoiced; because, their king had regained his reason.
Serpico:
I think you're trying to tell me somethin'.
Laurie:
Me?

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.
