Original subtitles

What are you doing, Mr. Steele Graham?

You went in there.

You went in.

I told you not to go in.

What?

What are you talking about?

Get in here.

I swear, this guy was alive and I left.

Vinny here must have seen a combination on the lock.

When I opened it, came in here and whacked him around or something.

What are you telling him that for?

I didn't touch him.

All I know is we sent you out to do a job.

You brought back a stiff.

Sonny's going to go nuts.

Hey, this guy was alive when I left.

Now he's dead.

You're the guy that's supposed to watch him.

That's all I know.

Hey, there's all kinds of alive, man.

There's alive and well and there's alive and hardly breathing.

Knock it off.

We'll settle it later.

I'm going to go get Sonny.

Get him out of here.

Take him out to the country and plant him down deep.

I don't want him popping up in the spring rain.

Then we're going to go to the pier.

We're going to take these guys and see what they're doing.

Look, Dave, I'm sorry.

I hate mistakes.

This guy wasn't supposed to croak.

He can't get answers from a dead man.

I don't know what your story is, pal, but you just made a major mistake with me.

Is that all right?

Yeah.

I'm scared to death.

He must have followed Dave's drive from the hotel.

What do you want to do?

Pull over.

I'm going to put this pushy cop into a new category.

Hi, fellas.

Just out for a little ride.

How you doing, Sheriff Butcher?

Yeah, Tony and I were just trying out his new car.

How you doing, Tony?

You fellas know you got a taillight out?

You and your partner are death on taillights.

Yeah, well, I guess it's a vehicular pet peeve of mine.

Now, you gentlemen want to get out of the car?

Maybe we can open up that trunk and fix it.

Otherwise, I'm going to have to impound this car because it don't live up to Jersey standards.

I'll tell you what.

I promise to get it fixed.

Maybe I'll drop it by tomorrow.

Get out of the car, both of you.

Now he's going to come looking for you.

We should have just popped them both.

Unless you got a reason for not wanting to kill cops.

Yeah, I got a reason.

It's stupid.

Yeah?

Well, now you got to go hole up someplace.

No.

Dave said meet him at the pier, and after we get rid of Winfield's body, that's where we're going.

Go on, Vinnie.

Open her up.

W.A.R. 15.

You guys are shipping hot guns off our pier.

Okay, what is this?

Where'd this come from?

You're off an armory or what?

It's the Winfield assault rifle.

He designed it and built them.

For who?

I don't know.

Where's the crew and the ship's captain?

There's no one on board.

Hey, wait.

Whoever owns the ship that paid for these guns, he'll be back.

Gentlemen, we got to look at the upside.

These guns and this ship.

They got to be worth something to somebody.

We find out who that somebody is, we sell them back.

The Winfield assault rifle.

Cal.

Yeah?

Take these jokers outside.

Find out if they really don't know anything.

You.

Yeah, you.

I want you to get your tail back to the casino.

Stay locked in your room until I figure out how to get the heat off.

If you rammed Butcher, he's going to be all over us like a bad-looking woman.

I'm sorry about that, Sonny.

I just figured a dead cop was more pressure than a hit-and-run, that's all.

Just get back to the hotel.

Okay.

Come on, Sonny.

We can't be late for the party.

Hey, Tony.

We've got to clean this pier up.

You got it, Sonny.

What are you doing here?

Oh, hi.

I thought everybody would be at your parents' party tonight.

They are.

I'm on my way there now.

I just came by to pick up their anniversary present.

What are you doing?

Well, I lost my lighter here this afternoon.

At least I think I did.

It's kind of sentimental.

It was given to me by my father.

Where were you sitting?

Well, I was over there, and then I moved over here, I think.

I don't know.

It's got to be around here someplace.

To Vinnie.

Love, Dad.

Thank you very much.

Wouldn't want to lose you.

I had kind of a nasty argument with my father this afternoon.

He said he didn't want me messing around with you.

Guess I mean Tony blew us in, huh?

He says he has an instinct about you.

Whatever that means.

I don't know why I just told you that.

That only means you're going to see your wide circles around me, huh?

That wouldn't be the first time that's happened.

Do you want to take a walk?

Yeah, sure.

Okay.

When I was in high school and the boys I dated found out who my father was,

they stopped calling, which made no sense to me.

I mean, my dad was the greatest dad in the whole world.

Most of the time.

Sometimes you can't talk to him.

Coldness comes over him.

I guess it was then I started to wonder if what they wrote about him might be true.

It's been a weird scene to find yourself in at that age.

Even as I got older, the men I dated got older.

That'd always be those questions, you know, what does your dad do for a living?

That Dave Steelgrave.

It got to the point where I was just lying, you know, if I liked the guy.

I'd hear it somewhere else.

And they'd all go away.

So finally I had to.

That's why you went to college on the West Coast.

I'd have gone further if I could have.

Somewhere where they just don't print newspapers and nobody could find out.

You still seem very close to your family.

They're like a separate entity, you know?

It's like college or work.

When I come to see them, nothing I have in California comes with me.

And when I go back home, I...

I leave them all behind.

Are you close with your family?

Oh, well, I got an Uncle Mike who kind of watches over me.

Your parents aren't alive?

No, my dad's dead.

We were pretty close.

For the last couple of years, mostly.

He was pretty good with me from the time I was about 16 on.

What about your mom?

Well, my mom's always been closer to my brother.

She was always a great mom to me, but it's been kind of hard on her with me being in jail and everything.

I guess I'm just not the kind of son a mother would be proud of.

Is that what she thinks?

That's what I think.

So when are you going back to school?

Probably the sooner the better, huh?

Maybe for you.

Maybe for both of us.

Aren't you afraid of my dad?

Or Uncle Sonny?

Only if they find out.

Vinnie, I've come to take you to driver's school so you can work out some of those building violations.

What is this?

What's the matter?

No, it's just a case of mistaken identity.

I'm going with you.

No, don't get involved, Tracy.

Just call me a favor.

Call my Uncle Mike, 555-261.

I'll tell him what happened and I want him to get me out.

Okay?

Will you do that?

Yes.

Mike Terranova, what can I do for you?

Is this Vince Terranova's Uncle Mike?

Yeah, you got it.

Who's this?

I'm a friend of his.

He asked that I call you.

He was just arrested by the New Jersey Police Department.

That guy is always getting in trouble.

Vinnie just can't keep his nose straight, can he?

Well, he wanted you to bail him out and he said as soon as possible.

Yeah, yeah, that's the way it always is with this guy.

Okay, okay, I'll find him.

Hey, thanks for the call.

Okay.

Hey, Sherm.

Sherm, do not put me on hold, man.

This is the hotline.

Okay, have somebody call McPike and tell him his boy Terranova just hit the lockup.

Well, you tell me how you're going to be a successful criminal

if you can't make it one week without getting pinched.

Hey, I was just trying to save that redneck sheriff's life.

Bricker was going to blow him away right on the spot

and I had no way to stop it.

Not without tipping my hand.

The guy's an unstable load, Frank.

You got to get me out of here.

No, what you're going to do is you're going to get yourself

a real expensive mouthpiece

and you're going to go to war with the DA.

And you know, it looks to me

like you're burning the houses already.

Brand new Rolex.

Diamond cufflinks.

$300 in cash.

Well, the steel graves are real generous employers.

You should see my German ride, Frank.

Now, look, I want you to take this and run this guy down.

His name is Norman Winfield.

Who is he?

What does he do?

He fertilizes empty lots.

Right now he's working the corner of Kentucky and Reardon.

You sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

I helped bury him.

When he was alive, he was some kind of a gun manufacturer.

I want you to dig him up and find out what killed him.

Now, my bet is that he died of excessive voltage

courtesy of Tony Greco.

I also want to know where he's from, where he's been,

and where he's staying here in town.

Now, you do me a favor.

You don't call up about any more bodies that you bury, huh, Vince?

They're real hard to explain.

Well, I'll tell you what, Frank.

I'll keep it out of my report if you keep it out of yours.

Thanks for bailing me out, Sonny.

What, are you kidding me?

Is I going to leave you in there?

When you got someone working for you, you got to take care of them.

You never leave them swinging.

Even if they messed up.

If everybody messes up now and then, it's all right.

Just don't make a habit of it.

Come on, Sonny, let's go.

Boxcar Louie's waiting for us.

We got business across town.

I'll bring the car around.

No, Al's driving.

Come on, Sonny.

Here's a bulletin.

Dave's not happy with you.

Not Tracy, right?

You're that smart.

How come you're not that smart?

I don't want to duck this one, Sonny, but I didn't do anything.

Hey, look, I told Dave I'd talk to you.

We talked.

You sure you don't want me to go with you?

Go get cleaned up, get some rest.

Meet me at Gorman's Gym in the morning.

All right.

Hey, how are things in your office upstairs?

Not again.

You're going to rip this joint up every other day?

If you're missing me, I could come every day.

Oh, you got laws against harassment, fella.

Yeah, there's all kinds of laws.

You probably won't believe this, Goon Bob,

but they even got a law against murdering federal agents.

Oh, yeah, I haven't heard that one before.

Is that new?

Oh, come on.

Let him pour through the wastebasket.

There, let's get out of here.

I think I got his blood pressure up a point or two.

Let's do it again.

Norman Winfield.

He worked at various times for Lockheed,

McDonnell Douglas, Smith & Wesson,

and a number of government facilities

requiring low-priority clearance.

His specialty is small armaments and weaponry design.

For the past two years, he has not held a job.

A rundown on his credit card shows

that he has been traveling in and out of the country

frequently the past ten months,

mostly to Mar del Calor and Quintana,

both in Mexico,

where he's been seen with an international arms dealer

named Ronaldo Sykes.

He has frequented a number of motels across the country,

most recently the Garden Rose Motel on 65.

He checked in there two days ago,

and he has not checked out.

Registered to room 122.

Hello.

I'm looking for Norman Winfield's room.

You know, this is a very good year,

and I'm very sorry to intrude,

but I have some business with Norm.

You have no business with Norman.

You know all about Norm, do you?

I bet you do.

Well, the one thing you may not know

is that he's dead.

We all have to go sometime.

Well, I can see by your generous overflow of emotion

that you and Norm weren't romantically involved.

What was this, more of a business celebration?

Where do you come here?

To meet you.

Or whoever was working at Winfield.

You see, I'm with the guys who owned the pier

that Winfield was using.

I've got the guns,

and I want to talk to Sykes.

You felt that one.

You tell Sykes if he wants his goods

to contact me at this number.

Take it.

You tell him not to wait too long either,

because if he does,

I'll dump his crates in the Atlantic.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, nice, nice, nice.

Hey, Sonny, what is it?

Rip to the loop.

Hey, Vinny.

How's it going, baby?

All right.

You like my kid?

What do you think, yeah?

He's got good legs,

but he's telegraphed with his left.

He holds his mitts too low.

Better get him up too,

otherwise you're gonna be hearing

a lot of white noise.

Hey, I told you.

Keep those hands up.

Everybody wants to be Ali, isn't it?

Listen, I think I ran down

the guy who owns the guns.

His name's Ronaldo Sykes.

You what?

Yeah, well, I figured

you wanted this guy pretty bad,

so I went on the street to locate him.

You don't do anything

without checking with me.

So what'd you find out?

Well, I figured since it was

taking a couple days

to get his ship loaded,

Winfield had to be staying

in the area someplace.

I called the motels

and the hotels saying

I was Winfield

asking for my messages.

He was staying

at the Garden Rose Motel,

room 122.

You're telling me

you just dialed

every motel

in the phone book

until you found

the right one.

That simple?

Yeah, that simple.

That simple.

Finally, I got somebody

with brains.

So how's I get his sites?

Well, I found

one of his associates

and I gave you a number.

I said if they wanted

their merchandise back

to contact me

within 24 hours,

that goes overboard.

Oh, bye.

I like that.

Charlie!

Mr. Grecoff,

I was just checking

out what's happening

at the airport.

They can't seem

to catch a winner.

Clear it out.

Spend an afternoon

to track.

Let's go, Cal.

Start checking the joint

out.

Make sure it's empty.

Take upstairs.

Come on.

Come on.

Let's go.

Yes, Lee!

Come on.

Can I come?

Hold on.

Would you look at her?

What the hell is that?

He brings a broad

to the meeting?

This guy wouldn't last

six seconds

in the rabid rabbit.

They plaster him

all over the walls.

That all?

Yes.

And what sells best,

the frozen corn

or the peas?

Sonny Steelgrave.

This is my brother Dave.

He must be sex.

I'm pleased

to make your acquaintance,

Mr. Steelgrave.

This is my chauffeur,

Dieter Haas,

and my secretary,

Raya Montenegro.

Nice to meet you.

Why don't you sit right here

and make yourself comfortable?

Well,

why don't you gentlemen

keep your jackets buttoned

and your hands

at your sides?

Okay.

Let's lay it out here.

According to Winfield's

assistants,

whom we are currently

detaining,

Winfield says

that he was producing

these guns for you

at the rate of

$3,000 per week.

You've asked for delivery

of over $10,000

in the next month.

At roughly $200 per,

that's $2 million.

You need a way

to export it.

We got it.

We're thinking

of an export

and handling fee

and 10%

of the retail.

Mr. Steelgrave,

do you know

what these are?

May I?

Norman Winfield

created the greatest

single-hand weapon

to date,

capable of firing

over 20 rounds

per second.

It is also

a compact rocket launcher.

Yeah,

and I got a toaster

that makes popcorn.

So what?

Any number of men

armed with the W.A.R. 15

is increased

in strength tenfold.

Any tiny nation,

even a small band

of guerrillas

totaling only 100,

can now be equivalent

to 1,000 men.

And when Winfield

tried to sell this weapon

to your government,

they turned him down.

So he came to me.

I bought Mr. Winfield

and his auto weapon.

I paid much.

I built a factory

that manufactures them.

These are mine.

Why should I pay you

to get bags

that which I own?

Because we have them.

And in my neighborhood,

possession is nine-tenths

of the law.

The other tenth,

we don't care about.

I did not come here

to be extorted.

I didn't come here

to play bocce ball either.

Now, you're the one

who had the nerve

to come into my area,

my doc.

You're conducting

criminal business

on my property

and I can't take the heat.

So where do you

come off, mister?

Sonny's right.

We don't do this

for our health.

You came to our turf

to do illegal business.

You should have came

to see us

so we could get our taste.

I did.

I gave Winfield

$100,000 American

to be paid in full

for the export

of my weapons

from your peer.

Well, I run everything

that goes through

Greco-Marine Enterprise.

Winfield

never contacted anyone.

I gave the money

to Winfield personally.

We have a situation

here to work out.

We didn't get paid

for our services

but we have your guns.

I think I hear

something next door.

Check it out.

Where's he going?

Downstairs

to get a pack of smokes.

Look, pal,

it's not up for discussion.

You got it?

You think you can come

down here and pull my nose?

You were operating

a gun hustle.

You didn't tell my boys.

Perhaps you'd be wise

to think before you speak,

Mr. Steelgrave.

I'm not a man

who enjoys being threatened.

Don't try it.

Sonny?

Sonny!

Somebody come

and let's be alert.

Excuse me.

Is it possible

for someone to help me?

My tire is flat.

All right, Dieter.

I want all crates

from our to the Sendrax

international shipping labels

loaded aboard.

I want to be on the way

with since the hour, Captain.

Sorry.

How is he?

How is he?

Stable, Doc says.

Doesn't look too good

right now.

Best shot he's got

he has if he comes

around tonight.

So I ran into Angela

downstairs.

He said Sykes

and his men

hit the dock

and took his ship

into a load of guns.

Perfect little operation,

huh?

Yeah.

Only screw-up is

they didn't get me.

Yeah, me too.

I don't think

there was any mistake.

Hey, what is it with you?

We were both

right in the middle of it.

You were right

in the middle of Zort, pal.

You were next door

checking out thermites.

I don't got to

explain nothing to you.

It's not me

you got to worry

about, wise guy.

Tracy.

Tracy, I'm sorry

about your father.

Were you there?

Doesn't matter.

Mike Terranova,

what's up?

Agent 4587,

day code,

style section,

ident procedure,

dogs,

groomed,

palladium.

Hey, how's my

favorite nephew?

Are you calling

from your new job?

Negative.

I'm on a pay phone.

Access clear.

I may be going

for a ride

to the front house.

I'm going to need

a trap door.

Go.

Greco, Anthony.

I found out

he banks

at Federated Bank,

Pittsburgh Avenue branch.

I'd like him

to come in

with some money,

a little under

a hundred grand.

What kind of trail

are we leaving

when we make the deposit?

A really striking

Latino girl,

dark hair,

long legs,

a real head turning.

And as soon as you can,

maybe take him on

a tour of our

better facilities.

And drop him down

a rabbit hole.

He's beginning

to breathe on me.

In motion.

Day code remain active?

Okay, Uncle Mike.

Who are you talking to?

Oh, it's my bookie.

Bookie?

Yeah.

Make sure you don't

make any plane

reservations.

I'm sure Sonny

will want to see you.

Is he awake?

He'll call you

when he wants you.

Meantime,

we'll be here

and make sure

you don't trip

and fall onto

a Greyhound bus.

All right.

How's the Peter and Tracy?

Julia and Carmilla

are with him.

My sister's coming up

tonight.

They're okay.

You just get better.

You let me and Carmine

handle everything

for a while,

hmm?

I really appreciate

you flying up here, Nick.

Taking care of

the funeral arrangements.

Come on, will you?

Everything is okay.

Nothing is okay.

Not until I take care

of this Sykes

and this flamenco dance.

I want out of here.

You're going to get me

out of what?

The doctor says

you're all ripped up

inside.

I'm not going to go

do the bugger, Nick.

Now, just get me out,

okay?

Get the damn ambulance

in the stretcher.

Okay, okay.

We'll get you out of here.

Carmine, go and find

a doctor.

Honey, you okay?

I'm fine.

Where's Vinny?

Right outside.

Tony and Rico

have been keeping them warm.

Get him in here.

Hey, Sonny, how you feel?

Dave is dead.

My brother is dead.

What happened, Vinny?

What the hell happened?

I was in there

with the rest of you.

You were nowhere.

In fact, you were out

in the left field

when the whole shebang

went down.

That chick,

she sent you a signal, Vinny?

No, Tony told me

to go next door,

see who's in the next room.

You said you heard something.

There was nobody next door.

What, what, are you kidding me?

Are you telling me

I was part of a setup?

Do I look like

I'm kidding you?

I'm lying here

full of grief

sucking wind

through bullet holes.

You think I'm fooling around?

No.

This whole thing

went lousy

from the first day

I met you, Sykes,

with these guns

on my pier.

I easily relocated him

to set up that meet.

Explain how

I did that, Sonny.

Just took some legwork

and some luck.

Luck?

Dave is dead.

I'll bet Dave

smelled you out there, Nova.

Maybe you knew

he was hunting

and set this up.

Is that it?

You better talk to me, Vinny.

Sonny, this whole thing

with Sykes

has been going down

long before I showed up.

What about Sykes

saying he paid somebody off?

That was crap.

I don't think so.

Sykes is a player.

He knows the rules.

I think he paid

the hundred grand

just like he said.

And if he did,

that means there's

a hundred grand

floating around someplace.

Somebody took that money

without telling Sonny

and it wasn't me

because I was still

in the Jersey tombs.

Whoever Sykes paid

figured they could just

pocket the money

without telling you

or Dave.

Now if I was looking

for a heavy,

I'd look at the guy

that set up the deal

with Winfield

and that was you, Greco.

It was your pair.

It was your deal.

You had to kill Winfield

because he gave you

the cash.

That's what got the whole

thing rolling the wrong way.

You shut your mouth, scum.

Hey, why don't we

check your bank?

See if you've got

a hunk of change in there,

maybe like around

a hundred grand.

Your history, punk!

Your history!

Don't touch him!

Oh, you're dead.

We'll call the bank.

We'll settle this.

Rico, check it out.

Check it out?

Sonny, I've been with you

for 20 years.

20 years.

All right, do what you want.

But I ain't gonna stand

until you check me out.

I can get Sykes for you.

What are you talking about?

He's 10 hours

across the Atlantic.

He killed Dave

and he's gone.

Yeah, but after the ambush,

I called down to the pier.

I told the guys

to remove the guns

from the crates

in the warehouse.

These guys are floating

at sea with a box

full of rocks, sonny.

He had to check the guns

before he put them

aboard.

Yeah, I know that.

Before he put a full box

of guns

on top of each stack.

You don't believe me?

Call Sammy down at the pier.

You'll find out.

I don't know about you, Vinnie.

You move fast.

Maybe too fast.

We'll see.

Get that mesumont on the phone.

Call him ship to shore.

I want to lay this one

on him personally.

One hundred grand

was deposited

in Tony's account.

Get this, sonny.

A good-looking

Spanish broad

put it in there for him.

Don't bother, Peter.

I am turning back

and I accept your terms.

I will trade you

to killer of your brother,

my secretary,

for the guns.

But how can I trust you?

There are always

risks in business.

Your guns will be

at Warehouse 3.

Do not fear, Karen Losser.

I will not play his game.

I do not trust him.

He will try and hit us.

Agent 4587,

day code,

style section.

Beach, day,

flowers.

How you doing, Vinnie?

Okay, sonny's alive.

Get some federal units

out to the pier.

It's going to go down fast.

And notify McPike

and the Jersey cops.

You pig!

I smelled you

from day one

and I was right.

Sonny should have listened

to Dave.

He could pick out a cop

blindfolded.

The way he did

Stan Dermott, huh?

You should have seen

that fat slob

crawling around,

pleading and puking

after Dave gave him

the old water bink

in the head.

Now I'm going to do it

to you.

You're going to cross the river.

Yeah?

Well, I figure you're

going to come over with me.

Sonny already knows

you took the pay off

from Winfield.

Sonny's not going to believe

a cop over me.

You just don't want

to see the picture,

do you?

Sonny already knows.

They went down to your bank

and found out about

the 100 G's deposited there.

Nice try,

but I don't have

100 G's in the bank.

I'm not stupid enough

to put it there.

Yeah, I know.

That's why I made

the deposit for you.

Sonny's men are all

over this burg

looking for you,

in the hospital.

You may as well

stick that blaster

in the air

and save yourself

to drive home.

It's going to be

a lot quicker and easier

than Sonny's going

to make it.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

The lifeguard traced

the call.

Dave Steelgrave

killed Stan.

Tony here was

the accomplice,

maybe the wheel man.

You can close

that one out.

I don't know

any Stan.

And after I talk

to Sonny,

your history.

Your best bet

is to cooperate,

Tony.

Maybe these guys

will take pity on you

and put you

in the witness program.

They can jam

the witness program.

There's no way

to ever talk

to you pigs.

Oh, good.

Have it your own way.

But you better

look around

when you stick

your head

out of the hole.

Sonny will be

waiting to take it off

and send it home

in a hat box.

Oh, don't you worry,

Benny.

He won't pop up

while you're still

under.

I'll make sure

of that.

Get him out.

Something wrong?

Yeah, this guy

happens to be fond

of ambushes.

I already saw

one of his maneuvers

up close.

I don't feel

like a rematch.

He comes in here,

we tank him.

Don't worry about it.

Leave it to me

and my guys.

Hey, Benny,

what is that?

The cops?

No, I don't think

it's the cops.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Federal matter.

Sometimes I can't

get enough of you,

Frank.

Yeah?

We'll see if you still

love me after I bust you.

I'll call you tonight

before you go to the airport.

Take care of your mother.

I heard you were

leaving tonight.

I'm gonna take my mother

out to California

and get her away

from all this publicity.

We both have a lot of crying

and thinking to do.

Go spend some time

with your mother, Vinnie.

Don't let her go

without finding out

who she is.

I want to make

the same mistake I did.

Make sure Nick takes care

of Rita and Tracy.

I want everything done

first class, naturally.

Sonny.

Thanks for coming.

How you feeling?

I'm okay.

Arm's still a little stiff,

but it's still gonna

take some time.

Can't get that old

left hook back, huh?

Marvin Ketchel's

gonna defend you.

He's real good.

Says he can get you off.

I really appreciate this,

Sonny.

We'll see.

Rico says you handled

your end pretty good

at the pier.

But I keep losing

good men with you, Vinnie.

Sonny, we were gonna

go down one way

or the other.

Somebody called

those feds beforehand.

Tony, maybe?

Well, well.

No one told me

they took the tubes

out of you yet, Sonny.

I would have sent you

a big basket of fruit.

But I figured

I'd wait and see

if you died.

Put the money

into a nice wreath.

You know what

the trouble with you

is, Frisbee?

You don't know

when your luck

has run out.

Now why don't you

give me a break

and back off?

I mean,
