Not unless you're the counterparty to the trade, or own the exchange.

If you have a system where you can see the bid and ask... then you see them trading on one or the other real time. If they trade one the bid MM's bought 'em, on the offer they sold 'em... even then, often the "house" that executed the trade might be facilitating a customer order the MM's don't want to or is so lucrative that THEY wan't to.
