One Good Cop (1991)

In the labyrinthine maze of New York City, Artie Lewis stands as an unwavering beacon of justice, a dedicated cop who believes in the power of his badge and the sanctity of his work. Alongside his partner in law, Stevie Diroma, they combat crime, their bond unbreakable. Yet, when Stevie falls victim to the ruthless Mickey Garrett during a tense hostage situation, his sudden demise leaves his three little daughters, Marian, Barbara, and Carol, in the throes of a grim fate. With a shared love for their fallen comrade and a deep-seated compassion, Artie and his wife Rita open their hearts and home to the orphaned girls. Their commitment to the children sparks a desire to adopt them, providing the love and stability they need. However, they soon face the cold bureaucracy of the Child Welfare Service, which argues their modest apartment is insufficient for the girls, one of whom, Barbara, requires daily medical attention for her diabetes. With an insurmountable $25,000 down payment standing between them and a suitable home, Artie finds himself caught in a whirlpool of desperation. In a desperate gamble, he turns his gun onto the menacing drug kingpin, Beniamino Rios. Rios, a figure shadowed in a sinister connection to Stevie's death, becomes Artie's ticket to a better life for the girls. With his stolen bounty, Artie secures the house, and in an act of generosity, donates the remainder to a local orphanage. Yet, in the underworld where every action reverberates with consequences, Rios's girlfriend Grace De Feliz, an undercover narcotics agent, sets her sights on Artie. A complex game of cat and mouse ensues until Rios himself kidnaps Artie. Unraveling a tapestry of treachery and loyalty, Grace must decide where her allegiances lie, leading to a riveting climax that tests the limits of love, friendship, and sacrifice. "One Good Cop" is a poignant tale that delves into the murky depths of morality and the lengths one will go to protect those they hold dear.
