Top two,

Vlad,

demon.

Point five. Coming out. Come on. Point. We got it. Five.

Winner. Yeah. Win again, boss.

I like your neck. Hey.

Leave the floor alone and get back to the door.

Dumb.

Yes, mister Moreno.

Come here.

Goody's dummy is gonna learn that we can't take any chances.

Fixing is easy with the cop as he like in Detroit.

Yeah. You're right, boss.

Mhmm. It's your old boss.

Coming on. Five there. Okay.

Come on. Come on. Answer the phone.

Yeah.

Mister DeSantis, we've been hit. Gus is dead.

Calm down. Calm down.

Now tell me what's happened.

I'll call this old man. He'll wanna handle this personally.

In the meantime, you take care of things there.

Okay, mister DeSantis. You can depend on me.

I don't know. I don't know how it happened, Sal.

Those guys are gonna pay for my kid.

I've known you a long time, haven't I, Charlie?

Yeah. We go back a long time.

We've come a long way together, haven't we, Charlie?

You sure have?

I told you to keep a special eye on guys, didn't I, Charlie?

I didn't mean that, Sal.

I I I bet I can't give you a report until all my boys go

back and bring me the details.

Well, if responsible for this is gonna pay, Sal.

Okay.

Glad you feel that way.

I'm gonna send you my man, Carmine.

I want you to give him all the cooperation he needs. You hear?

Sure. Everything at my disposal.

By the way, Charlie,

I want him in complete charge of this operation till this

whole thing is straightened out.

Do you understand me?

Of course, Sal.

Anything. Guys, I got Gus.

Alright.

Have a limousine.

Pick him up tomorrow morning at the airport.

Will do. Will do.

Sal,

I want you to know that I'm

really sorry about this.

Yeah. Yeah.

Have you completed your mission?

Yes, sir.

Well done. You may now remove your disguises and clean up.

Sergeant?

Yes, sir.

I wanna report cleanup on this as soon as possible.

And you better notify the FBI since we have,

machine guns involved.

Yes, sir. Shall I book the rest of these characters?

What do you think?

Okay, you guys. Let's get them booked and get them downtown.

Let's go. Come on. Keep your hands off. Come on. Let's go.

Willie, give the dinner break. Okay, Lieutenant?

Okay, you guys. Lie to me if you got them.

Goddamn landmine. The lieutenant's been hit.

Doctor Graham, please call the operator.

Gentlemen, I know you have all heard this before,

but I'm repeating it to let you know how important our

operation is to us.

In the eighteen months I spent in the hospital,

I had time to conceive the idea of your disguise as

after all those guys are going to be looking for black guys

and here we are white as ivory snow.

Let's be serious for a moment now.

We have a lot of work to do in the next five days.

Part one has been achieved.

Again, I would like to give you all a well done.

In order for us to complete the remainder of this operation,

we must keep up the element of surprise.

We are not dealing with green kids.

These guys are expert killers.

But if we can complete these three other jobs that I

have in mind, we will be set for life.

We'll have more than a monthly pension or a purple heart

to show for our sweat.

The cops are not going to be too keen on helping the mob find us.

After all, we're doing them a favor.

Sir, the men have asked me to say a few words for them.

We feel that we owe our lives to you.

So whatever danger that we may encounter will be no sweat.

Yeah. Right on.

Thank you, men. I knew I could count on you.

Pete, get one of the boys to bring that stuff in.

Okay,

brother.

Oh, John.

Get that crate unloaded right away,

What are you sample of stuff?

It's really dynamite. It had better be good. Hey.

When have I ever given you bad stuff?

Hello? Anybody in there?

What are you doing here?

Is there any place we can get some water around here, buddy?

Right around the corner. Oh, thanks.

They couldn't handle this job themselves.

You know, I never did like this town.

It's too hard to get to the cops.

So I want you guys to be careful.

You're right, Bruno. This is top grade stuff.

I told you, I deal with nothing but the best.

John, go out and clean up that mess and start attack riders.

How much long is it gonna take to get there?

We'll be there in just a few minutes, sir.

Hold it. Let's give him a little smoke.

Charlie, let's hit again.

Well, I think we should go inside and talk about another

Yes.

You're right. But it's all right.

He's on the payroll.

Yeah. We stole lousy copper.

It comes to a little better than a quarter of a million

dollars, gentlemen.

With the two remaining jobs that I have in mind,

we're going to hurt them bad,

but we will have it good.

Ernie, take this stuff and flush it down the toilet.

But Lieutenant, the street dye of this stuff is worth over a million bucks.

Why should we let it go to waste like that?

I would rather see it wasted like this than wasting

people's lives.

At least this stuff won't end up in some kid's arm.

I would like to tell all of you gentlemen again,

we're not a mist to hurt society,

but to help rid society of some of its scum.

But then, of course, we reap the rewards.

I really don't know what to do, Carmine.

Black guys are like, fandoms.

They hit so fast, and they seem to know all our setups.

Obviously, there's a leak from the inside.

Wait a minute, mister Longo.

I've been with Charlie DeSantis in the organization since I was a recruit.

I put my neck on the line for these guys.

You may be doing a lot more than that if we don't find them soon.

Copper.

Wait a minute. Carmine. I run things out here.

And I say he's alright. He's like a son to me.

Let me tell you something.

You run nothing.

Now as long as I'm here, I'm in charge of this operation.

You have any arguments about that?

Call Salvatore.

What are we arguing and fighting among ourselves,

Carmine? I don't know.

How there'll be a blue reaction?

That's more like it.

Now suppose you tell me about,

where you think the leak is in the organization.

Gentlemen, if I may interrupt,

I can suggest that it might be Charlie's man in East LA.

Yeah. Could I have a point?

He knows our whole operation.

He's the only black man we got in the organization.

He's shrewd. He's got guts.

And maybe he's getting a little greedy.

I got news the other day that he's recruiting an army of his own down there.

Maybe we should talk to this guy.

Maybe.

Alright.

Me and my boys are gonna have a little chat with him.

Well, maybe you better take six or seven of my guys in case you

have any trouble with them.

No. No. I don't think so.

If this guy's as tough as you say and the neighborhood's as

bad as he is, a hundred men won't do any good.

Now, just, just give me a driver.

Somebody who knows the area.

What did you say this guy's name was?

Earl. Earl Lovington.

Earl Lovington.

Tough guy.

Charlie.

Get on the phone. Give Earl a call.

Tell him I'm coming in to talk to him.

Do we, talk here?

Yeah. Sit down, Mr. Longo.

Well, girl.

I understand you've been with the outlet for some time now.

Charlie tells me you've been doing a hell of a job for it down here.

Now I'd like to ask you to do something for me.

Fire away, baby.

Well, I guess you know we've been hit twice now by some black guys.

We feel they may be coming out of your area.

What are you trying to say, man?

Nobody's pointing a finger at you.

But, these guys obviously know the setups.

So there must be a leak.

And you listen to me and you listen good.

You brought your ass down here because some blacks ripped off

some of Charlie's goodies.

And because they're black, you come down here to me.

But you go back and you tell Charlie that none of my people are involved,

and I could care less whether or not he gets ripped off.

You tell Charlie he ain't talking to no watermelon man,

and that I don't need him or any of his people.

And if I decided to rip him off,

he wouldn't be able to send any goons like you around.

Oh, you wait a minute. No. You wait a minute.

I know you're supposed to be the big bad man from Detroit.

But none of that badness works down here.

I got a whole army behind me, punk.

Now, you go tell Charlie that I wish I could find those blacks that ripped him off.

I could use some men like that in my operation.

And you tell Charlie if he comes in my neighborhood again,

he's gonna have to pay dues.

Now you got that or you got something to say.

You've said it all, Mr. Lovington.

And I'll relay your message to Mr. DeSantis.

Look, Dan. You know I work undercover.

My source of information comes from street people.

These guys trust me even though they know I'm a cop.

They give me information,

I give them a break every now and then.

That's bullshit. You haven't made a bust in six months.

Now either you straighten out or I'll put you back in a black and white.

Yes, sir.

Look. I don't mean to ride you, John.

We got a hell of a mess on our hands in this district.

I mean, the commissioner is up in arms about this gang war.

And I want you to put every available man you got on

finding these guys.

You got my word, Dan. I'll find him.

Who the hell does he think he is?

I put him in that spot. I made him what he is.

It was some punk numbers running a couple of years ago.

And now he tells me he's gonna take over.

And you, you Carmine, you let him say all these things.

What did you want me to do, Charlie? Smack his hands?

You don't talk to me this way.

I don't care who you are. I'll talk, Charlie.

I'll talk and you'll listen.

Now I swallowed enough shit for one day from that chitlin'

mouth figure, and I don't wanna hear anything more out of you.

Do you understand?

Now I'm gonna show you how we're gonna handle this whole situation.

So why don't we both calm down?

We'll have a nice little dinner.

And then I'm gonna tell you what I want done.

Give it a yes and assist to win.

I'm

glad this is the last pickup.

I wanna get back to bed.

John, mister. Get out of here.

John, mister. I said get out of here.

What is this? Shut up. Get inside.

Please, mister. Don't shoot me. I won't say anything.

Damn right you won't.

Turn around.

You. Hit the floor. Please, mister. Don't shoot me.

I won't I I

Your count is down from last week, Bill.

You wouldn't be holding that on me, would you?

Mister Levinson, you know those guys you told us to look out for?

Yeah.

Well, I just heard they made a big hit on Ronnie's liquor store.

So they hit one of Charlie's runs again,

Well, I think we get inspectable trouble from

Charlie's people.

Break out the big guns and let's get ready

for a big bang.

Dan, I've checked out every possible source of information.

I I keep running into a blank wall.

These guys have gotta be from out of town.

They'd leave no loose ends for me to follow-up on.

Why don't you put some in on Charlie DeSantis' operation?

Maybe we can turn him something that way.

You know what really bugs me is having to give that bastard protection.

I'll get on it right away.

Wait a minute, John.

Intelligence sent over some reports and pictures.

Seems as though Charlie DeSantis has imported some

gunsels from Detroit.

Now I want to subate on some of these guys around the clock.

First guy is Joe Groupy, known killer and muscle.

Second one is Thomas Foreman, he is also a loser.

And last but not least, we have Carmine Longo.

Number one boy worked his way right up from the streets to

earn the respect of the entire organization.

I want you to sleep with this guy.

Uh-huh. Everything will be under control, sir.

Look, Carmine.

I'm depending on you to find those guys for me.

And just a minute.

Yeah.

I don't care how long it takes or how much money it costs.

I want the guys that killed Gus. You hear?

I'm glad Charlie's cooperating with you.

He's a good man in the old days.

Give him my regards.

I'll get those bastards for you, Gus.

Sal wants these guys bad.

Real bad.

I don't know.

Tell me what I want done.

You spread the word to your boys.

Tell them there's a hundred grand in it for the guy who won't get it.

And tell them that

Yeah.

Yeah. He's here.

Just a minute.

It's for you, mister DeSantis.

It's that pot.

Yeah. What is it?

Charlie, I've been trying to reach you for ten minutes.

Your line's been busy. So what?

Just tell me what you got on your mind.

You've been hit again.

I knocked over your whole booking operation.

What?

We've been hit again.

The bookmaker operation.

Get your ass down here right now, copper.

We got some talking to do.

I can't do that, mister Longo. I got a lot of heat on me.

Lieutenant's been riding my ass.

Matter of fact, he may have a surveillance on me right now.

You could have a lot more heat on you if you don't get down here.

Or you're a cop stank him. Lose the tail.

It's alright.

It's alright.

As soon as that copper gets here,

I can tell you how we're gonna handle this whole situation.

You call Lovington right now and reassure him you're not

gonna interfere with his operation.

You want me to talk to that spook? Well, I won't do it.

I'm not gonna kiss his ass.

Charlie Charlie, I don't want you to kiss his ass.

All all I want you to do is tell him that you don't want

any problems between you and him.

You just wanna locate the guys that are ripping you off.

Charlie,

Charlie, tell him you're offering him a hundred grand if you can locate the guys.

Alright, baby.

But I really ain't got no beef with you, Charlie.

I just didn't like that punk coming down in my face.

And besides, a hundred grand sure sounds nice.

I'll put my people on it right away.

Old Charlie's running scared.

He's up to something.

I think we can expect some big trouble from him.

Sure wish we could find those guys,

A hundred grand's a nice chunk of cash.

But I think it might be a big shuck.

All of our people ready?

All ready.

Fix my drink.

Hey. You wanna shine?

I really give a good shine.

You should have seen the look on that guy's face when I

tossed in that grenade.

Would you please sit down here? Relax. No. No.

Charlie, I have done all I could to locate those guys.

All I got out of it was a lot of heat from the lieutenant.

Stagnant, Now Charlie told you to sit down.

Don't worry.

I've got a plan that's gonna take all the heat off.

Yeah. We're gonna knock off law enforcement.

I'll have a hundred men here by this afternoon, comrade.

No, Charlie. We don't do it that way.

We don't want any gang wars.

Jesus, Charlie. No more shooting.

Gonna have the whole police force down on me. Wrong.

Gonna bring the whole police force down on Lovington.

Like I was saying, Charlie, we don't want any gang wars.

So we're gonna let the Coppers take care of Lovington.

Right, Copper? What do you mean? We're gonna set him up.

We're gonna make a hero out of

you.

How are we gonna do that, Carmine?

Alright. Now listen, Copper.

John,

I want you to find me a pigeon to set Lovington up in a heroin by.

And you tell this pigeon that there's twenty five grand in it

for him if he gets through to Lovington with a setup.

John.

John, there's an extra seventy five grand in it for you when you

and your little boys in blue busting on a buy and kill him.

How do I just shoot Lovington?

Well, I'm sure he's not gonna wanna take a bust.

He'll give you a little resistance.

John,

you owe me this.

You gotta do it.

I think it's a great idea, Gob.

I'm

why do we use one of our own men for the heroin setup?

No, Charlie. It has to be a spook.

A very dispensable spook.

And because we have to protect our little blue man here from

leaks, the pigeons gotta get it in a raid too.

I I got just the guy. A little pusher down eleventh street.

I let him work for bits and pieces of information he gives

me from time to time.

I'm sure he'll do it.

Alright. You get on it right away.

Call me here when you get the thing set up.

And, John,

don't bother coming back here until this whole thing blows over.

Charlie, you see to it that John here gets a necessary cash and

heroin to give this guy.

Yeah.

I have all the stuff here this afternoon.

My man, Lou, will deliver it.

You call me at ten o'clock tonight?

Yeah. That'll be good.

That'll give me time to have my man ready to contact Lovington.

I'll get on it right away.

Oh, John.

John, you know, I never thought I'd say this,

but I'm glad you're with the outfit.

Thanks, Mr. Longo.

Men, it is now sixteen hundred.

We'll be ready to hit on fourteen hundred.

Saturday, I want you all to get plenty of rest between now and then.

One other thing, gentlemen,

I will be with you on this last mission,

but because of my physical handicaps,

I will only be able to give you cover for your retreat.

Alright now, Charlie.

Charlie. Listen to me.

That little black man that's setting up Lubbockton is dispensable.

But we also have another dispensable item.

Our friend, John.

Kill a cop? Jesus Christ, Carmine.

I don't know what

do we not understand why?

Because we're trying to prevent a gang war.

And the only two tie ins we have are the pigeon and our

friend John.

You heard what the copper said. He had heat.

And if enough pressure is put on him,

he's gonna spill his guts.

How are we gonna do it?

Trust me. It'll be taken care of.

Yeah.

Look, Jack.

I told you you don't have anything to worry about.

And there's twenty five grand in it for you besides.

Man, look.

Sitting up Lovington ain't that's something else, man.

You don't have anything to worry about.

Once we pull the bus, you're gonna manage to get away.

You'll just disappear.

His men will think you're trying to get away from the cops.

And besides, once Lovington's dead,

his whole organization is gonna fall apart.

I told you, Jack. You don't have anything to worry about.

But what are you trying to do to me, man? I don't like it.

Well, Jack, you're gonna have to like it.

Either you do as I say,

we're gonna put you away for a long time.

Jack, look.

I'm just trying to give you a way to make a big score so you

can get out of this town for good.

Well, look, the dude ain't no fool, man.

Twenty five grand.

Cash.

Okay. I'll do it, but I want all the money up front.

Okay. It's a deal.

My man's gonna meet me here in just a little while with the

cash and the heroin.

Now here's what I want you to do.

I want you to call Lovington in the morning.

I want you to tell him you got two hundred and fifty thousand

dollars worth of heroin.

Too big a deal for you to handle.

Ask my man now. Just a minute.

Here's his stuff.

Heroin?

Cash.

I'll see you in the morning.

And one more thing, Jack. We're dealing with some big people.

Don't cross me.

I get hurt, you get hurt.

Well, look. Don't talk that way, man.

I said we had a deal, didn't I?

Okay.

You know what you're gonna do with that whistle?

Alright. Let's go you guys up. We got a lot of work to do.

I want you guys to check your weapons.

I want you to break them down,

make sure you got plenty of ammo.

Lieutenant will be with us in a few minutes,

then we're gonna spend the rest of the morning going over

details of the heist.

Okay, you guys. Let's go.

Up.

Come on, Willie.

Give us a break.

It's Jack Wallace.

He says he has something for you.

What is it, Jacky?

Mister Levinson, I got something I think you'd be interested in.

It's too big for me and I'd like to bring a taste and maybe

we can make a deal.

How much money we're talking about?

Quarter of a million worth. They want fifty thousand. Yeah?

Well, bring you a taste, baby, and we'll talk.

When Jack Wallace gets here?

Bring him right in.

It's a go. Okay. You take on. I'll be right behind you.

You've gotta get in two hours ahead of us after you take

out the exterior guards.

The rest will be behind

Charlie.

Hey, Charlie. Relax, will you? Calm down.

It'll all be over in a couple of hours.

Yeah. Yeah. I know.

But that don't keep me from worrying.

And you're worried about that cop, ain't you?

Yeah. I guess I am.

I just don't like the whole deal.

We can't afford any loose ends.

He has to go.

Now relax. Trust me.

Stop worrying.

I'm sorry, Carmel. You're right.

Just don't have any problem with the police.

This is d fourteen. D fourteen. Officer needs assistance.

Officer needs assistance.

Seventeen fifty five Highland. Seventeen fifty five Highland.

Hi, Jack. Come on in. Mister Levinson is waiting for you.

Hello, mister Wallace. Listen.

Yeah. You did the right thing by bringing this, Jack.

We're gonna make a lot of money.

Yeah. I knew you'd like it.

Gotcha, baby.

You sold me out, baby.

Drop your gun, Lovington. What gun? This one.

It's not. Oh, go.

You okay, Cartwright? Yeah. I'm fine.

Let's get an ambulance and get that mess cleaned up in there.

Book the heroin as evidence and check the rest of the place out.

Yes, sir.

Dan.

We just got word that sergeant Stang has been killed.

What? Where?

Making a heroin bus on the east side.

Took out four guys including a guy named, Lovington.

Works for Charlie DeSantis.

On the way out of the building,

somebody on the rooftop

sniped him.

Probably one of Lovington's men.

Alright.

Make up a report for the old man.

I told him it was a lousy cop.

I pushed

him.

Okay, you guys. Up and out.

I want you guys to break your weapons down again and check your ammo.

Okay?

Hey, Willie. Don't you think we've had enough?

Now you listen, Goldberg.

We're gonna run through it again and again when we get it down pat.

You understand? Okay. Don't get sore. Okay.

Let's get started.

Everything go okay?

Like shooting fish in a barrel.

I told you my boys to take care of it, didn't I?

You alright? They did good.

It's a nice job, boys. Go relax.

Alright.

I owe you an apology.

Stupid of me to worry about that cop.

I had to be done this way.

You're right.

No loose ends.

Forget the apologies. We still got a job to do.

Our problems may not be over yet.

You mean those guys that have been hitting us?

That's right.

If they aren't Lovington's men,

we can expect some more trouble from them.

Now what time do your shipments arrive tomorrow?

Well, the boys are usually prompt.

They they all get here about ten o'clock.

You you really don't think they're

gonna try and hit it.

I don't know.

But if they do, we'll be ready for them.

What do you think, Willie? Are they ready? Yes, sir.

Alright. Get them together. I would like to say something.

Okay. You guys listen up.

You all know the plan.

If we have to leave someone behind, we must.

If we get separated, we meet back here.

I also would like to say I think you're a great bunch of guys.

You help me out of this mess and

I'm gonna give you a big chunk of dough.

Charlie,

Salvatore takes pretty good care of me.

Now all I want to do is get out of here and get back to

Detroit.

Can't you get me the extra men for tomorrow?

Sure. Sure. I got ten extra men and they're pretty good. Good.

Charlie, you got a hell of an operation.

Well,

it's been good to me.

And everybody.

Where does the cash go from here?

I lock it up in the wall downstairs till I hear from

Salvatore.

He tells me how he wants it delivered.

I make the arrangements, and we ship it out on a Learjet.

There's no way anybody can hit this shipment.

Because I'm the only one who knows what day is gonna go out.

Positions.

Charlie, you know,

I think we use good judgment knocking off Lovington.

This shipment is gonna make it.

Those dummies, they got suckered.

We all got suckered.

I'll make a phone call and get some boys over here to give us a hand.

What do you wanna do with this guy?

I'll take care of him.

I don't believe it. Stangan working for the mob.

Logan, I'm sorry to have to tell you this.

I know how close you two were.

Charlie DeSantis had him all wrapped up.

As a matter of fact,

we believe that that heroin bust was a big setup.

He also believed that Stangan was not killed by the Lovington

mob, but by Charlie's people.

Do you have enough evidence to pick him up?

No.

But we're working on it.

Well, you let me know when you do,

because that's one bust I wanna be in all myself.

Okay, black boy. Who are you working for?

Go to hell.

It's a white

guy.

You're right.

A lousy white guy.

Now look, pal.

I don't know who you are, but you're in big trouble.

You better talk to me because I'm gonna make a turkey.

What are we gonna do about Willie?

We wait it out.

I hope I said four will be here soon.

In the meantime, we gotta get this guy to talk.

I want my goddamn money back. He's gonna talk.

Don't you worry about that.

I sure hope he made it out.

If he's alive and he got caught,

there's a possibility he'll talk.

If he does, we better be prepared.

If he's dead, there's no better place for us to be until we get

out of here tonight.

Alright. Alright.

I'll tell

you.

I can't take it at all.

You could've made it a lot easier on yourself if you'd

have spoken earlier.

Alright.

Now let's

It's on ninth nineteenth Avenue.

Where?

Nineteenth Avenue and Hallway House.

Who's your boss?

His name is Johnson. We started together in Vietnam.

Alright, Johnny.

As soon as your men get here,

we're gonna take this punk for a ride.

Go just as Casey's lying.

I want him to show us where the place is.

You can go on the phone and get some more men over here.

Tell him to meet us. Where did you say that place was?

On on February nineteenth, Devin.

What are you waiting for, Charlie? Get on it.

All right.

Let's get all the money together and start splitting it.

Ernie, get the airline bags. Buddha, get the money.

We've been waiting two hours and Willie hasn't shown.

I must assume he's either dead or they're sweating him.

In the event that I am wrong,

I'm leaving a choice up to all of you as to whether we stay.

I say we wait.

Hey.

I feel the same way.

I'm all for it.

As soon as we get this money split,

we'll take our positions.

Hey.

Doing that.

I wanna make a deal.

Throw out the cash and I'll give you this punch back.

Don't do it.

You guys will take cover.

Get out of the pool. You get a better shot.

I don't know from there.

Operator, give me the police. Hurry.

Well, I guess that washes up Charlie DeSantis.

Take him in.

I'll be with you in San Francisco in about a week.

Take care of yourselves.

Lieutenant, you take care.

I'll see you later.

Oh, black is beautiful, baby.

John, I've gotta talk to you.

Yeah.

John, I'm not going to make it.

Come on. Don't be talking like that, man.

You're going to have to take over.

I want you to go ahead with our plans.

Those guys aren't gonna follow me.

You'll find a way. They're an excellent kill team.

Lieutenant.

Nurse?

Nurse?

I promise.

Paper, mister?

Hey, mister. You wanna buy a paper?

No. No paper, Phyllis.

They need some fancy dude. Yeah. Too fancy.

I let a guy earn a living.

Okay.

Tell you what to do. I'll take the rest of the day off. Okay?

Finn. Gee, thanks, mister. Let's hustle.

We still make it to this ballgame.

Yeah. You better hustle, baby.

The users can end the ball game now.
