We just found it. The meat locker.

Dead. How together?

Multiple stab wounds.

Start nosing around, Carl.

All of my contacts came up cold. You
know, there's one we haven't used in a

time. No.

Look, me, I don't care about it. I'm
finished, all right?

But my family, my wife, my kid, them you
gotta protect.

What for?

Look, I ask politely.

Stop! Spread them out!

Now that person knows that I scabbed on
him, and I... See, they're trying to get

back at me by hurting you. One day, one
night, somewhere, you might get it.

Thank you.

Girl?

Hi, Ed. What are you doing here? I sent
in the squeal. You?

I was on my way home, wanted to pick up
a couple of things, forgot it was Sunday

and the place closed early.

Pulled in, found a black and white.

Whitman was lying near the door. How'd
he get it?

Multiple stab wounds.

I figure he pulled in, making a routine
check, got jumped.

Okay, you've been here long enough. How
does it add up?

Three men.

Probably came in with a regular Sunday
crowd and hid in a basement storeroom

until the store closed.

Found some...

Cigar butts and unfinished sandwiches.

That's the alarm system.

Electronic sound sensor. They got around
it somehow.

How much was the take?

Manager's in the office now trying to
add it up. This place is jammed on the

weekends. It must have been high.

Safe blown or did they work the
combination?

Blown. Muffled with blankets and
clothing.

They bypassed the alarm safe. Ran a new
circuit around the sensor.

Hey, Lieutenant.

Yeah. It's the night security officer.

What about him?

We just found him in the meat locker.

Dead.

Run here again.

Looks like you've got a heavy one, Carl.

I'm nowhere.

It's been two weeks and nothing's
cracked.

The lab's drawn a blank. No
fingerprints.

Not even that much of a lead.

The explosives used on the safe?

The bypass and the alarm?

No way of tracing them. But there was an
explosives expert.

An electronics expert.

Everybody I've got in my books is clean.

How's your case coming?

All right, questions begin at the bug
me.

There's your answer.

Carl, has it occurred to you that you
might be tackling this the wrong way?

After two weeks?

It occurs to me that I'm not doing
anything right. You've been

the pros.

You really think this is a professional
job?

Explosives? Electronics?

It wasn't necessary for those two men to
be killed. The security guard died of

suffocation. An accident. The tape
across his face was just supposed to

quiet. What about Whitman?

It would go up against a cop with
knives. It was a panic move.

All right, amateurs.

They're all over the place.

Half the town's got an idea for a
hundred grand caper.

But how many have the hundred thousand?

And what would they do with it? How
would they spend it?

Start nosing around, Carl.

I have been.

All of my contacts came up cold.

What about yours?

I'm sure we would have heard by now.

You know, there's one we haven't used in
a long time.

No. Chief, he'd be very good for this
job. I said no.

Chief, you holding out on me?

The man is not available.

Well, you could try, couldn't you?

Two men were killed in that caper,
Chief.

One of them a cop.

Hey. Morning, Baxter.

Hiya, Nancy baby.

When will you be back?

How do you tell?

I burn the road with some good sales. I
keep the match on fire. You know.

Then burn the road good.

Okay.

Okay.

How do you feel, Myrtle?

And by the way, when is Myrtle going to
have her pups?

Pups? Well, whatever you call baby mice.

Mice.

Okay, you're the smart one in the
family.

I asked my science teacher, but he
couldn't tell me.

I wrote to Marcus Welby and told him all
Myrtle's symptoms.

You get a diagnosis yet? I haven't heard
yet.

Well, I'll call and check in from time
to time while I'm away.

Groovy. And if one of them's a boy, I'll
name it Baxter Flynn, Jr. Hey, I'll be

honored.

You better get going. You know what time
it is?

Bye,

Mom. Bye, honey.

Keep the match burning, Baxter.

Will do, baby. Do good in school.

When is she ever going to call you
father?

She knows I'm her father.

Wonder sometime.

Oh, come on, Harriet.

Is there ever going to be a time when
the phone rings that you don't go away?

Harriet, what do I do when a customer
calls?

I've got a route to go. I've got to sell
that route.

When's it ever going to stop that you
have one job, one place to live?

Honey?

Honey, I think I've got me sick this
time.

I'm going to sell franchises and all
these little cuties, all those suckers

there. I'm going to build up an empire.
I'm telling you, Harriet.

Okay, but you better tell Nancy, too,
because she'd like to have a father, you

know. Yeah? Mm -hmm.

And one place to stay.

And so would I.

Do you know that ever since she's been
born, I feel like we've done nothing but

run? We just keep moving? I don't think
I'm ever going to stop.

Well, you eat.

The rent gets paid.

Are we going to pay?

I don't know.

Three or four years.

Better than three or four months.

And I always come back right there.

Huh? Mm -hmm.

Come on, you got to catch the bus. I'll
drive it to the terminal. No, no, I'll

take the local.

Come on.

Listen,

don't forget.

Yeah, I know. As soon as I hit the
motel, I put the salami and the cheese

in the refrigerator.

And the car. You going to wash the car
while I'm gone? Yes, I am.

And please remember to stay away from
all those naughty ladies in all of town.

Mm -hmm. You're the only naughty lady I
know, Harriet.

I'm going to put you on a diet.

Hey, I better go.

30 seconds.

And you know what happens? I mean, I
could miss my other bus. I miss my bus.

That's why I take them right out of my
family's mouth.

Come on, pay up, pay up. I had unusual
traffic. I don't want to give you

problems. That is a bet.

You're a good loser, Bill. I'll see you
on the next drive.

Service.

Hey. Mr. Flynn.

How was your trip?

Augie, to sum it up in one word, that's
the entire vocabulary of today's youth

of America was super, Augie. Just super.
I sold the line like you wouldn't

believe.

Here you go. I beat you last time, Mr.
Flynn.

Last time?

Augie, there are last times and there
are times before the last time. But this

is like a new time, which is almost like
a first time. What do you say?

I say I got you wired, Mr. Flynn. Yeah?
For how much?

Ten bucks.

Ten bucks? You got a very good deal,
Augie.

Besides, I'll even throw in a bonus.

I will sweeten my loss to 20 if you
double my win. Huh?

How's that sound?

Sure. Yeah?

Okay.

You had me worried there, Augie. There
she is.

Okay, 40 bucks.

Now, wait a minute. What do you mean,
wait? Augie, you know what your problem

is? You never listen. I told you I'd
sweeten my loss to 20 if you doubled my

win, right?

Twice 20 is 40.

You get the picture now, Augie?

I get it.

All right.

It's one of those stupid days, Augie.
Just stupid.

Ten. Ten.

Twenty. Uh -huh.

Thirty. Thirty.

Forty. Beauty. Can I have my room key
now?

Pleasure doing this.

Augie, watch my blue band, all right?
I've got to make a phone call.

Oh, yes.

Nine o 'clock.

Flynn?

Yes.

You disappointed, Chief?

Yes, I am.

Hello again, Baxter.

Chief?

You remember Sergeant Brown?

This is Officer Sanger.

How's your wife?

Oh, she's fine, just fine.

Your daughter?

You know how the kids say, super groovy.

Well, Baxter, we have a... a difficult
case.

How long's it last, Chief? How long do
you keep your hooks on a guy? Don't you

ever let go? Are you kidding?

What is it, Baxter, your conscience?

You always have to feel you're being
pressured into a job. You're leaning on

Chief. Not now, not even the first time.

When it was sent for you, you
volunteered, remember?

Yeah, I remember.

Got taken on that job, Chief.

I got shortchanged.

Got cornered. Those baboons really took
me. So you informed on them to bust a

rap on yourself, as simple as that.
Well, wouldn't you?

I'm not you.

I didn't have to feed a habit.

I didn't have everybody on my tail from
the tables at Vegas to the shoeshine boy

selling numbers.

I didn't have everybody trying to
collect.

When do I get off the hook? When do I go
free, huh? When do you want to go free?

When are you going to stop running
because your markers are drowning you?

I've been here in Frisco a long time.

And you know why.

You didn't have to call me back.

You've been off the hook since the first
bust.

Yeah.

Feed or have it.

That's what you said, didn't you, Chief?

Strictly business, you and me.

Yeah, business.

I blow my cover, I'm down the drain,
washed up.

No matter how you cut it, I'm up to my
eyeballs in a ringer.

I didn't invent the game.

I know, but it was invented a long time
ago. Back to Judas, good as gold.

And what about it, talking about gold?

A hundred bucks a day.

What can I say, Chief? You just won me
over.

Just another corner I turned, another
trick.

All right, what this time?

You read about the latest rip -off?

Yeah, cop got killed, security guard, I
heard about it. There's $100 ,000 in

cold cash that's floating around out
there in some of your places.

Now, nobody steals that kind of money to
put in a bank. And the longer they hang

loose, the less they think they have to
worry about.

But sooner or later, some one of them is
going to get drunk and start feeling

indestructible.

Some one of them is going to want
someone else to know how smart he is.

I don't have to tell you.

I know, these jokers run off the mouth.

There were three jokers in this. I don't
want them for money. I want them for

murder one.

I understand.

You got a lead for me?

No.

Just hit the street, circulate. You know
where.

Yeah, don't I ever, huh?

It's not marked, is it?

We'll be waiting.

Waiting to hear from you.

Yeah, I got your number, Chief.

We need him, Mark. You know that?

I know we need snakes, too. Doesn't mean
I have to like them.

How you doing?

You betting, man?

I don't know. You should count a large
bundle of bread there, Hugo. You better

believe it. There are only four balls
left.

Who do you like?

The large bundle of bread.

A draw to inspire the freight.

All one color.

Against four aphids.

It's like the lady always said.

How much you betting, man?

I don't know, Hugo. You name it.

50 a ball. 50 it is.

What do you like?

I'll take Billy Joe.

You got him. All right.

Chief, uh... Nothing new, Chief. No big
mouths.

Keep listening.

Hey!

Hey, Artie, how you doing? Yeah,

yeah, I just want to take a roll. Wait a
minute, this is more important.

What, something cooking?

Yeah, I got a great deal. I mean, if you
got some bread, we can really clean up.

Oh, yeah, well, okay, we'll talk about
it later, right, Artie?

Yeah, it's going great, honey.

Well, don't spend the money.

Keep looking.

Let's go up and blast.

How you doing?

Woo! What do you like in the double?

Hey, Seth.

How you doing?

I'm empty.

Leave me now.

Leave me.

Anything.

Five, ten, anything.

Come on, take it.

God's love.

Sammy, any fresh noise on the street?

Another cold, Baxter.

Real cold.

I understand.

God's love.

Uh, honey, I think I'm going to have to
stay here a couple or three days longer

than I expected.

Well, maybe this time you can make
something work, Baxter, huh?

It's going great, honey.

Yeah, I think I got a hot one this time.
Got the match burning, huh, Baxter?

Yeah, baby.

How's Myrtle?

On scent.

Still on scent.

I don't know, Chief.

Nothing going on. No fresh faces.

They've got to be somewhere out there,
Baxter.

Angel, baby.

Little off your beat, aren't you,
Baxter?

I don't know. I thought I'd see how the
better half lives.

How's the action, lady?

Any hot ones? High rollers?

They're all alike with a towel after
all.

That's very profound.

Steak eyes.

Matty, long time, huh? Yeah.

You want a drink? Sure, why not?

What are you drinking?

Just some sparkling water.

Some sparkling water here.

Yeah, I haven't been around lately.

Yeah, well, I've been to Vegas, Matty. I
got vacuumed. You know, you're just the

guy I wanted to see. Me?

Yeah. Well, you know where the action
is.

Depends what kind of action.

Oh, thanks.

You know... I feel so hot.

You know where there's a game, right?

Oh, you mean that kind of action?

You got some money, Matty? Who'd you
kill?

Oh, come on. I just feel hot. I'll tell
you what I'll do. I'll even stake you

that 200 bucks.

Wow.

That's the best offer I've had.

Matter of fact, it's the only offer.

Well, let me get out of here and get
dressed, and we'll go get him, okay,

Snickers? Sure, killer.

Matt Morris, age 43, former Master
Sergeant, Air Force.

Ran Officer's Club, overseas Air Force
base.

Brought up on charges of skimming.

Cleared. What else?

He has a brother -in -law who runs a
television repair shop, Walter Spencer.

There's also a repairman, Charles Voigt.

Graduate, MIT.

MIT? Engineering?

Electronics? Baxter said Morris was an
old face on the street with a lot of

fresh money.

Not exactly conclusive evidence.

It's more than we've had so far.

Is it? What about the sandwiches and
cigar butts you found in that discount

house? They were collected.

Averies make mouth, moles, and
impressions.

Mark, you go after Morris. Shake him up.
Find out what you can about his smoking

and eating habits.

matter? The chief too busy to kiss me
goodbye himself?

Chief didn't ask us to say goodbye,
Baxter.

Well, then you say goodbye to the chief
for me, then.

He's got other ideas, Flynn.

Hey, listen, fellas.

I've been living with that guy day and
night.

I got you all the stuff I told you.

You just tell the chief good luck.

I'm going home.

There may be a delay about that.

Oh, come on, guys. I deliver. What more
do you want?

Move. How much more?

So far, Morris has kept himself clean.
He's made no careless moves. You told us

that. So we can't just go out and clamp
him.

Now the chief wants to crowd him, see
which way he'll move if he's pushed.

So what does he want from me? You do
your thing, Flynn.

You finger him for us.

Hey, what's the bet, gentlemen?

Matty, go on, double it. Go on.

This new kid is a hustler, I'm telling
you. He's got the juice, I swear.

You go, you want to sweeten it twice?

It's okay with me.

Hey, you can't lose for trying lately,
can you, Matty?

It's a golden touch.

I'll be right back. I've got to wash it.

You.

Off. Legs apart.

Arms break apart.

What for?

Look, I ask politely.

Up. Spread them out.

I don't want any trouble. Please.

Look, what is this?

Okay, turn around.

This better be good.

Identification, please.

Why don't you read me your act first? I
mean, I know my rights. I know what your

rights are.

Identification, name.

It just happens to be personal.

Look, I can book you refusal to show
identification or cooperate with a

officer now.

Are you going to show me who you are or
do I find out my way?

Matt Morris.

Yeah, it's in English.

Well, I'm sorry.

As a suspect wanted for armed robbery
and assault, you happen to fit the

description.

Why, you ought to get your signal
straight.

Just trying to do my job.

You know, I could have hung you out to
dry on a false arrest charge.

Next time.

Please not one What

is

it with you you look like you just shook
hands with a ghost How long does it

take you to wash your hands?

You know, there was this and there was
that. You know what I mean.

Matty, I got a sure thing going in the
fifth race. What do you say you and me

to the track, huh? I just got shagged
down by a lousy cop.

Oh, come on. You're putting me on.

I want to talk private.

Sure, Matty.

Let's talk.

Public places for private talks. That's
my motto.

Private.

Real private.

Come on, let's take a ride.

30 minutes you've been driving, Matty.

I don't mind you drinking if I'm
driving.

Drinking and driving? Hey, Matty, come
on. I figure I got some years left.

Actually, you've got a pipeline into the
whole thing here. You know it all.

I suppose.

I need a favor. I figure you can swing
me into it. Matty, you've been jockeying

me all over the county just to ask me a
favor?

I need a little edge, Matty.

What kind of an edge?

Look in that glove compartment.

Hey, Matty, you pulled this job?

I never laid a hand on those two guys.

Let's hear the three guys who are in a
garbage hunt.

I don't share their racket.

Hey, Matty, you're beautiful. You
knocked out all these alums.

In fact, you're a little expert.

I got to thank Big Unk for that.

Big Unk says, what do you want to learn?

I want to learn a trade, Big Unk. When I
hang up this uniform, I want to have an

education. Big Unk gave me one.

Electrical engineering.

I've got to go into partnership with
that dumb idiot brother -in -law of

If you open your trap about this, I'll
kill you.

Me? Matty, come on. You're talking it
back.

That hot -headed, lousy, stupid brother
-in -law.

My sister has to go and marry.

What kind of an edge do you need, Matty?
I need a cover for that weekend.

A motel, a hotel. Somebody that will
swear that I was there.

Registered. I can handle it.

I know somebody needs the business real
bad, man. All right, good. A thousand

bucks.

And a girl.

I want it to look right. I'll sweat.
I'll take care of it.

Just tell me how you want it set up.
It's all set up. Go on.

Hello, yeah?

Matt Morris?

That's right.

Uh, spell it.

M -O -R -R -I -S.

Two Ts in Matt.

Oh. Any friend of Baxter's is a friend
of mine. What date do you want to be

registered? Uh, it's August.

Uh, 4, 5, and 6.

4, 5, 6.

Let's see.

Uh, it was a weekend. Saturday, Sunday,
Monday.

Yeah, that's right.

Oh, and, uh...

How about the girl?

I think I ought to meet the lady. I
mean, I want to see what kind of company

go around with.

Well, then we wait.

I wish you'd put out that cigar.

Come on.

Hi, doctor.

Oh, hi, honey.

Fran, this is Matt. Matt, Fran.

Fran to Matt, hello.

Sit down.

You want a drink? I never drink during
business hours.

You want anything?

Tomato juice.

Tomato juice for the lady.

I understand we had a super fun weekend.
Fun weekend.

Yeah.

Real super fun.

Tell me about it.

We went on a sightseeing like you'd
never believe.

Look, the police haven't asked you, so
just keep it in order. First, we went,

um,

around the winery.

Second, the whole cable car bit.

Third,

the bay crew.

All right. Four,

the fishermen walk.

You got that?

I got the scene.

You really picked a winner.

I'm glad I passed inspection.

Look, if you got the rest of the evening
free, I'd like to sweeten the pot.

Maybe you can take me sightseeing this
time.

One meeting at a time.

I want to get out.

I gotta get out.

I handed you enough on Mars to hang him,
Chief.

I paid my dues.

Twice over, Baxter. So what now?

Well, before you complain that I didn't
come to say goodbye to you personally.

Oh, well, that's okay.

Goodbye. I also wanted to give you a
piece of advice. Don't answer the phone

anymore. What, are you letting me off
the hook? I'm telling you to get

off the hook.

I will call you. Believe me, if I need
you again, I will call.

Yeah.

I believe you, Chief.

You know how it is, Chief.

You got a route to follow, you got to
take that route.

At least I can tell Harriet one thing. I
had a good road trip this time.

I'll see you sometime, huh, Chief?
That's entirely up to you.

Isn't it?

Well, at least we have the mouth molds
and impressions.

Yeah, but if we could have gotten him to
testify when we went to trial, we'd

have a lock on Morris. Blown Baxter's
cover, he'd be a marked man for the rest

of his life.

Isn't he now?

You missed me?

Well, of course I missed you.

Oh, terrific.

How's everything?

Oh, all right. I made a few bills for
the trip. I'm going to get a little mail

order business going, honey, I swear.

Great. Where's Nancy? Nancy, where are
you, baby?

Baxter, I'm in here.

Hey, how you doing? Hi.

How do you know how to come home on
Saturday when I don't have any school?

Because I am brilliant, that's why. At
an early age, I learned that Saturday

always came after Friday.

Hey,

how's Myrtle? Does she have her pups
yet? No.

No answer from Dr. Welby yet? Uh -uh.

Probably doesn't know from mice, honey.
Hello, you forgot to put this salami in

the refrigerator.

I forgot.

I was moving from one place to another,
honey. I guess I just forgot.

Hey, look, Max, I got a split.

But you stay with Myrtle and her friend.
They missed you.

I think they hate me.

I think you're becoming paranoid.

At least I'm not pregnant.

Uh -huh. All right.

I hope I see you again.

Well, Mr. Morris.

Fancy meeting you here.

I'll have to ask you to come to the
police headquarters with me. The last

you said I fit the description of a guy
wanted for armed robbery and assault.

And you were just trying to do your job.

I still am.

You sure can find me in the funniest
places at the funniest time.

Wonder how you do that.

Every cop has a little blood on it.
Maybe I smell a human rat.

A rat fink.

I wouldn't know how a rat fink smells.

No, but I'm beginning to.

You know, you're gonna lose that tan of
yours when I hang you for this false

arrest charge.

You do that.

Meantime, these are your rights.

You have the right to remain silent.

You have the right to... Save that for
the tour.

Okay, let's go.

Ed.

Matt, Mark.

Right around this way, please.

Mr. Boyd, Mr. Spencer, that'll be all
for now.

Sit down, Mr. Morris, please.

I'm Lieutenant Reese.

I've got a call in to my lawyer. I'll
talk to him.

We wouldn't have it any other way.

Let's just call this a friendly chat
until he gets here.

I also don't hear very good. Then try
lip -reading me.

We've got you pegged at that discount
house gig. That makes you a prime

for murder one.

The police officer and the security
guard.

Flat out, Morris.

We're trying to make that stick.

And if we can't, that puts you in a
position as an accomplice to murder.

Of course, a lot depends on what your
brother -in -law Spencer's testimony and

what Charles Boyd has to say. Now,
listen. Hold it, hold it.

Please, don't say anything that might be
held against you. You'll have plenty of

chances for that later on.

Well, Morris' lawyer is here with the
release.

His family put up there.

Somebody loves him.

Okay, Morris.

See you soon.

I'll say it again.

There's a smell of a rat.

The stink of a rotten rat.

from the city came by. He said he was
from the city. Anyway, something about

checking the water pipes.

She didn't know. What does she know?

He was even there when she went to the
market. She didn't know when he left.

And Nancy came home after school.

Kid cried for two days after that.

And yesterday, Harriet went to start the
car.

All of a sudden, there's a big
explosion, a smoke bomb.

Harriet went ape. I had to call a
doctor.

It covers bone, Baxter.

Somebody knows.

Could be somebody on the street.

Somebody out there spinning you.

Somebody who wants you to live with the
fear that one day, one night, somewhere,

you might get it. Yeah, but my wife, my
kid, why them? Let them just get me.

That would be too simple.

It would only hurt once.

Look, you.

I know how you hate my guts.

I'm the one who fingered Matt for you in
the bar. You're the one who picked him

up next, and I'll bet my life you're the
one who blew my cover. I only follow

orders, Flynn.

I don't snitch.

I don't talk. You don't talk? Nobody has
to talk to strip somebody clean.

All it takes is the wrong glance, the
blink of an eye, a wrong word, the way

tighten your tie when somebody asks you
a loaded question. That's all it takes.

It's as easy as that.

Baxter, Mark wouldn't knowingly lift the
lid on a man.

Well, I don't care how you cut it,
Chief. It's off. You honestly think we'd

leave you out in the cold?

Look, me, I don't care about it.

I can wear glasses, dye my hair, change
my name, grow a beard, anything.

I'm finished, all right? But my family,
my wife, my kid, them you gotta protect.

That much you owe me.

They'll have to move.

Change their names.

We can arrange all that.

They'll have to begin another life
somewhere.

But who's gonna tell them that?

Who's gonna tell them the truth about
you?

Me.

It's wild, Harry.

So far out, you wouldn't believe it.

Me, good old Baxter. See nothing, hear
nothing, say nothing. Me, up in that

great big spotlight in the sky.

Honest, honey, I'm destroyed.

Baxter, just because you happen to be
there because you accidentally saw

something? No, no, no, honey.

See, what I'm telling you is that it was
a thousand and one shot, honey.

Can you imagine? We have to take the
beating.

We're leaving again. Is that what you're
trying to tell me?

We have to bail out, honey.

You, Nancy, you've seen what they've
done.

They're trying to shut me up through
you.

Chief, will you tell her, please?

Your husband has information that's
dangerous.

To him.

To you.

To all of you.

I'm sorry, honey. I wish there was
another way.

Yeah.

Well... We'll manage.

Yeah, you see, I'll make it up to you,
honey. I swear it'll never happen again.

It's all right.

Yeah.

No, it's not all right, honey.

See, I'm lying to you, Harriet.

I've been lying to you about everything.

I'm a cheat.

I have a sickness, Harriet. I gamble.

It's my whole life, see? It's all it's
ever been.

Cards, horses, dice.

Will it rain? Will it snow? Will the sun
shine?

Bet anything.

Two bucks, two bits, whatever I got in
my pocket.

I hit it big or go broke. I go broke, I
lose my route, we move to another town.

That's what I've always told you, right?
No, no, I had to run, honey.

I had to run out of those towns.

Because I could never pay off when I
lost.

And if I ever went back there, if I ever
showed my face, they'd kill me.

And there's another thing.

When we first came here, honey, I...

I got myself mixed up in some kind of a
deal. I was empty. I needed money.

I let myself get roped in on a robbery.

Then these guys, they tried to cheat me.

I knew I'd get caught.

I mean, I knew I'd go to jail, too.

I just couldn't let that happen, honey.
I couldn't let you and Nancy... I just

couldn't let you two know about a thing
like that.

I'd kill myself first.

So I made a deal with the police, and I

bought my freedom.

I became an informer.

See, I turned the other guys in, and
I've been doing it ever since.

It's how we're able to live. See, I get
paid.

As soon as I hit the streets, I use that
money to gamble.

I'm not a very nice person, Harriet.

I've been like a dirty snowball just
rolling down a hill.

I keep getting dirtier and dirtier all
the time.

I just blew my cover on the street.

That means I am formed on somebody, see,
and now that person knows that I

scabbed on him.

That's why the mice, the car, see,
they're trying to get back at me by

you.

That's why he's here.

He's going to get you away from all
this. He'll get you out of this. He'll

you a new name.

Nancy will go to a new school.

I'm sorry, honey, so help me God, I am.
Then it's like you killed Myrtle.

Like you really killed her.

Isn't it, Father?

Nancy, baby, Father, I'm Baxter. Baxter
died.

He's dead.

I guess I better be shoving off now,
huh?

Harriet, you don't mind if I take the
suitcase, do you?

Thanks.

I'll send a policewoman to stay with you
and your daughter until we get you

moved.

Hello.

Oh, yeah, just a minute.

Yeah. All right, Sid.

Yes?

Yes, thank you.

Chief, it's over for me. I'm finished.

You still want me to testify? I'll swear
it. Won't be necessary.

That was Lieutenant Reese.

Seems Matt Morris' brother -in -law
wasn't any more fond of Morris than

was of him. He talked.

Tough rocks for Matty, huh?

Well, uh... You said something about...

Another name for my daughter and myself
and another place to live and another

school for her. That's right.

Could you also... Well, could you get
the same name for Baxter and

the same place to live and a good,
honest -to -God job?

I mean... Well, look, now that I know
what the problem is, maybe I can help.

I swear I'll kick it. I'll lay odds,
I'll kick it.

Young lady, I've come to say goodbye.

Your father is going with you.

That's how your mother wants it to be.

You know, Nancy, your father may not
have been the smartest man to have done

what he did.

But he was a very brave man to have said
what he said.

Baxter? Nancy, baby!

See?

I know how this sounds, but I'm not
going to talk to you anymore.

That sounds just fine to me.

Just fine.
