He's okay.

Say, why don't you bring me some
cigarettes?

I don't smoke, and the machine's broken.

Why don't you go see if you can find
something open?

Well, how about some coffee, then?

The kitchen's closed.

All right, what's happening? I got you a
message.

Forget about the message.

Have you got my money is what I want to
know. I got your message and I don't

like it. Don't tell me what to do. I
don't like that. You don't like it.

You better let me straighten you out,
buddy boy.

You win, I'll pay.

You lose, you pay, and I don't give a...
No, you're almost going to tell me what

to do.

Not ever.

You'll get your money when I get good
and ready to give it to you, not until.

In the meantime, I want to know you're
alive.

Hey, man, watch it!

Hey, baby!

Hey, man!

Central, this is 723 responding to
Filicone's Restaurant.

You know, don't you get a good look at
him? He was moving pretty good, you

I want you to take that waiter there and
go down to Manhattan South. You got it?

And ask for a guy by the name of
Stavros. You can't miss him. He's very

looking. Weighs about 400 pounds, black
curly hair, looks like a gorilla, okay?

You tell him that I told you to have him
start looking through some pictures,

okay? Right. Wonderful.

Excuse me. Excuse me, please.

My wife, she's going to work. Come on,
will you? You can call from the office.

Go ahead.

Do you know who this guy is? Arnie
Wexler. Yeah? Where do you get a load of

this? Executive Endowment Association.

New York City Council.

Police Benevolent Association.

Honorary Fire Chief.

He's got a pass to Yankee Stadium. Was
there registration in the car? Yeah. All

right, when you come down, you bring the
car and put it in the lot.

Anybody else want to help the local
constabulary?

Not yet.

All right, you keep at it.

Glad we got hold of that waiter.

Yeah. In just about ten minutes, he and
I are going to go steady, wife or no

wife. We belong together.

Yeah, and you look nice.

This. This one.

That's him. Rizzo!

Which one?

This son of a gun right here. This one.
Did he score?

Are you sure?

One hundred percent.

Hawthorne, the NC.

Here, take that coffee. Get out of here.

I don't know.

I don't know.

No,

I tried to, chick.

I tried everything I got for the dude.

All right. All right, see you later.

Dude must have thought I went to Jersey
for them cigarettes.

Food, woman, food.

Ain't you heard of the way to a man's
heart?

Now, who said anything about getting to
your heart?

Never mind that.

I've been in a track meet.

Got myself a big appetite.

Oh, now, you think that was smart, don't
you? I think it was dumb.

What was I supposed to do?

Stand there and say, I know what you're
thinking, officer, but it ain't the way

it looks. Come on. Well, why not? You
didn't do nothing.

Baby, I didn't do nothing the last time
I got popped either. But I still got 30

days laid on me.

Since when you have to do something?

Come on.

Don't stare at me.

Give me some breakfast.

Have some sugar wine.

But you sure that nobody else see you?

Baby, it wasn't nobody else around.

Play! What's the matter, baby? I think
it's police!

Oh, I gotta split, baby. No!

They'll kill you! They gotta see me
first!

We're telling you to do it!

I'll swear to them you were here the
whole time!

Baby, you're chomping yourself!

Now you stay inside, and don't open the
door, you understand?

Oh, they're gonna kill you!

All right, hold it, police.

Hey, don't you wanna see my badge?

confession, right? Wonderful.

Can't understand it. I always thought I
was so adorable.

Well, to know you still love you, maybe
you need time.

Yeah, I ain't got that much time.

They finally found it.

File it on the beef of bad guy.

What is that possession of?

Gambling records.

Stressless, nuisance, gambling,
gambling.

Hey, Al Capone, he's not.

Maybe he was looking to move up. Yeah,
maybe.

What's new with Wexler?

He's still unconscious.

They're telling the press that his
condition is stable, but the way I

it, they don't expect him to make it.

What a thing, huh? A man like that?

I've got an envelope in my office for
you.

Hi, did you miss me?

What were you doing downtown at 5 .30 in
the morning?

Who said I was downtown?

Where were you at 5 .30 in the morning?

You've got more answers than you've got
questions.

You tell me.

You're on Hester Street at 5 .30 in the
morning.

Looking to take out one Arnold Wexler,
but that was a bad move on your part.

Because Mr. Arnold Wexler happens to be
a city councilman and a pretty tough

customer, so nothing happened.

And you, you went boom, boom. You put
two bullets in him.

And then when you go in for his wallet,
very in opportune. Because officers

Bosco and Cavallo are coming along.

And you, into the wind, zap -a -dap -a
-doo like that. How am I doing so far?

Any way you want to tell it, man.

Hey.

You tell her. Hey, what for?

You're doing good, baby.

Okay. I'm going to type it up just that
way. Just the way I said, and you're

going to sign it, right?

Oh, man, you ain't real.

I mean, you got a dude blown away, so
you had to flag somebody for it.

So here I am on the set.

What more do you want?

Oh.

All right, yes, sir.

Both of us will get up in the morning.
Hand in hand, we'll go down to the

hospital and visit with City Councilman
Arnold Wexler.

I'm sure you two will relive all the
reminiscences and so glad to see each

other, okay?

You

just

wait right here, okay? Hey, Crocker,
where's that two -seater? I don't have

now. If he give you money to put on a
horse with OTB, even on a horse horse,

you didn't put the bet in, you give him
back his money. Lieutenant, the line of

his... Just a minute!

Because that bucket in the police
station, you understand?

So you give him back his $46 like he
said. That's a lie. What do you mean?

Because it was $36.

Give it back to him.

The waiter here? Yeah.

Take your time, Mr.

Falacchione. Are you sure he can't see
me? He can't see you. It's like they're

looking in the mirror.

Do you see the man you saw this morning?

Sure, it's the second one from the left.

No question about it. What question?
It's the second one from the left.

Well, thank you very much. Come on, I'll
take you back.

Now what happens?

Just return to his office. He'll get in
touch with you. He'll tell you all about

it. And thanks again for your help. Am I
going to have to go to court?

There's nothing to it. Don't even think
about it. Yeah. Well, thank you very

much. And come on. Yeah. Take you home.

Well, that's it.

That's it.

You don't look happy, Dale.

Am I supposed to be happy? Well, I'm
going in and call the chief of

It's going to make him happy.

Then he's going to call the commissioner
and make him happy.

He's going to call the mayor and he's
going to make him happy. I wouldn't be a

bit surprised.

You see me talking to the man, I'm
talking to the man.

You want the gun, is that it?

Yeah, I take the gun and I take a
positive make on Wexler.

Only I don't have the gun and that
Wexler, he's speaking up the croak

night's over.

It's a good collar, Theo, and I'll be
happy with what you've got.

Yeah, baby.

Yeah, doctor, I don't like waiting you
up this time of night.

Sure, tell me about it.

I also hate to tell you how many times
I'm sleeping like a baby and zap -a -dap

-a -doo.

I jump out of my white charge and go
looking for a cup of coffee like that.

I just want to ask him a question, one
simple little easy question.

And as soon as his eyelids drop, I
promise you, I leave the room.

Okay, he wants to talk to you.

Yeah, hello.

He had 100 milligrams about an hour and
20 minutes ago.

I'll tell him.

He says you can talk to him.

After surgery.

And when's that?

He's scheduled to go up around 8 o
'clock.

Is he an hour for surgery?

Two hours for recuperation?

If I get here around noon, what is the
chances of not making it?

How should I know?

Why? I mean, what happens if he doesn't?

Oh, well, you see, I don't get to
satisfy my curiosity.

And I'm sure they taught you in medical
school what curiosity can do to a

pussycat.

Yeah.

Baby. $25 ,000.

How do you know if that's who I got
that? Oh, well, he sure enough knew.

Well, where's he at now? His place?

I don't know where that man is. He just
called and said to pick up the money of

V &D hairdo, and I guess he didn't want
me coming around.

Yeah, well, he's sly.

But I got to see him anyway.

And I got to go to work.

See you later. All right.

I sure

will. Thank you.

I'll see that driver gets him out.

Ten o 'clock in the morning and look at
you.

I'm hungry.

Yeah, well, eat some.

You don't want to lose your strength, do
you?

Hey, Theo. Yeah.

Your friend Yancey's on the bricks.

What does that mean?

I just got a call. He got bailed out.
You mean somebody put up 50 big ones for

Hawthorne Yancey? 25 cash alternatives
paid by Lula B. Perry.

That's his landlady.

He's got to have an angel.

So maybe it wasn't a stick -up at all.
It could have been a hit. Which makes

Yancey somebody's gun so. Why not?

Wechsler's never been shy about tossing
his weight around. He's got enemies.

You don't like it? I don't like it at
all. Come on, will you?

And besides that, the waiter said he
looked through the window and saw them

waltzing on the outside.

Does that sound like a hit to you?

So Yancey, while he was at it, tried to
lift Wechsler's wallet.

A hit man with a .25 caliber pop gun. Is
that it? Well, that's a new one for me.

I heard a guy's getting killed with a
.25. I heard a guy's getting killed with

Spalding tool. What does that mean?

No kidding.

A stickball? I don't know.

So he's not a pro, Theo. Well, for an
amateur, he's doing pretty good, huh?

He gets a wise guy like Wexler to get
out of his... The answer is no for the

weekend. To get out of his car, out into
an empty street, at the time of day,

from anybody who's not from Syracuse
knows, you keep your windows up and your

doors locked.

All right, so was the mugging.

I'll take Yancy any way I can get him.
Whether he did it or not.

He did it, Theo. We've got a stand -up
witness.

Uh -huh.

And with any kind of luck, we may get
two of them.

Would you do me a favor and put down
your guinea hero?

And get on the phone. Call the hospital.

Find out how the operation went, then I
want you to get Yancy on the telephone.

Tell him I want to talk to him.

Or this Lula B. Berry. But first, the
hospital, okay?

Yes, sir. Sure.

I hear it went very well. They ought to
be bringing him down from recovery any

time now.

I'd say you're on the safe side. Give
him a couple of hours.

Right.

Dr. Stevens.

Dr. Stevens. X -ray, please.

Dr.

Stevens. Dr.

Stevens. X -ray.

Ultra bad. Man, I'm about to start
leaving you at home. I swear I am. Oh,

I'm just walking along.

Oh, yeah, yeah, you're just walking
along, minding your own thing, and wham!

You're in the joint.

Hey, who the dude's supposed to be
anyway, man?

Well, from what I read in the paper,
he's, uh, I don't know, got him some

of hustle up at City Hall. Yeah, well,
I'm waiting for the dude to open up his

mouth and tell the pigs I didn't shoot
him.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Excuse me, man.

Yeah.

Yeah. He got through it okay.

He's in his room.

Uh -uh. Nobody. He's still out. Where do
I meet you?

Yeah, I know the place.

Yeah, I'll be right there.

Hey,

playbaby, I got a split, man.

Oh, well.

Hey, hey, man, just be cool.

Just lay there and be cool, all right?
Oh, hey, man, I got some stuff to do.

come on, man. You ain't got nothing to
do that can't wait. Just lay back here

and be cool.

Yeah, well, I ain't slept in close to
two days. All right. Hey, now you're

saying something. Check this out. All
right.

Asking for a hearing. Well, hey, man,
they had three signs on one post. I

couldn't figure all that out. Your name?

Doug. S -T -U -T -Z. John R.

Take a seat. You'll be called.

Say, where's the John?

Out that door and to your right next to
the rear elevator. Thanks.

I told you you'd be called.

Dr. Kosick?

Dr. Kosick, please.

Yes, sir.

What happened to hospital security?

You remember Lula Perry?

The antsy little lady, yeah, right. I
want you to go down to the neighborhood

and find out where she works. And then I
want you to watch her. See if she comes

in contact with the antsy. Go ahead,
move it.

Hey, boss, what if she meets him? Then
you collar him. Got it.

See you all later.

What do you mean they iced him, man?

He's in the hospital, ain't he?

Oh, no, man, I've been sleeping. I've
been listening to no radio.

Oh, man.

Hey, listen, uh, about that bail money,
man, um, I'm gonna have to get out of

town.

Okay, thanks, man, thanks.

Hey, baby, it's me.

Uh, I gotta see you right away.

Listen, I'll break it down to you when I
see you.

All right, now you get on over to the
playground. I'll meet you there, huh?

Okay. Bye -bye.

You're dead, Yancey!

Drop my gate this time!

All right, turn around. Get your hands
up against the fence. That's it.

I can close the door.

You don't have to say nothing.

Who told you to open your big mouth,
huh?

Why don't you sit down, Lula?

Boy, have I got a problem.

Now look, Lula, maybe you can help me,
okay?

Help me. Help you.

Help him. Help everybody.

You heard what happened, didn't you?

What happened about what?

Arnold Wexler?

He got killed this morning. Before he
could identify who shot him. And that's

problem.

There was enough time after for
Hawthorne to get out of jail and still

to do it.

What would he want to do that for? He
didn't shoot nobody.

Well, even if he did. But he didn't.
Even if he did.

I think he's smart enough not to want to
go away for murder. That can be a long,

long, long time.

He's no genius.

But he's not that stupid either.

Well, you can put it on him anyway, so
they don't need to be saying nothing.

Maybe.

But maybe not. Hey, look, kid.

You know, sometimes in life you gotta
take a chance.

For example, I know there was somebody
in a restaurant with him.

And you can tell me who it was.

Hey, Lola.

Where was Yancey all this morning?

Come on, will you, Lola? Look at me.

Where'd you get the money to post this
bond?

Can't nobody but white folks have money,
is that right?

Hey, don't let the threads fool you,
will you?

There's some black dudes running around
with more bread than Aristotle Onassis,

but forget about that.

Somebody wanted Hawthorne out of jail.

So bad that he put up 25 ,000 balloons
to make it possible.

Now, who did it?

Sturz. I didn't hear you.

Sturz, that's his name.

You got to be off your word asking me a
question like that.

And what you messing with my old lady
for?

I mean, you shot the dude.

And ain't nothing I can tell you that's
going to make it any easier than it

already is for you to put all the weight
on him. Hold it, Hawthorne.

I killed Wexler.

You or him or some other officer of the
law don't make no difference who.

I still have to pay for it.

What are you smoking? The cat is bent.

So I killed Wexler.

To keep him from testifying for you.
What are you going to do with this guy?

don't know what I'd do with him.

How about this?

You killed Wexler because somebody told
you that without his testimony, you

could beat the case.

And where'd you go this morning after
you left jail? I was around.

Around? Oh, it's no good, baby.

I want somebody to swear where you were
every minute.

Why did Stutz bail you out?

What did you ever do for him?

You know, Simon, I think you'd love
this.

The arm coming down on you? You tell him
to go rub it in his chest?

He's blissed out.

You know something?

You're so busy fulfilling the prophecy
of your own doom, you're not even taking

care of yourself.

And if it's that important to you to be
right about me that you'll go to jail

for it, you know something, baby?

Terrific.

Go already.

Man, get out of my face!

Hey, Junior.

Hey, Lieutenant.

What's happening?

Who's Stutz, Junior? Ever heard of him?

Yeah, he's a bookmaker.

Yeah? And what is he, small wig? How
come I never heard of him? Uh -uh. No,

He's big time, but he's new and came up
kind of fast.

I mean, how big? I mean, big enough to
do business with Arnold Wexler?

I dig, I dig, yeah.

He's up there.

He's up there.

Where can I find him?

I'll have to ask around, but I'll let
you know.

All right, and soon, huh?

Uh -huh.

Thank you.

Every once in a while, you gotta throw
in a freebie.

1965. Yeah, what kind of a package they
have on him? Not much. He did a bit in

the slam for boosting.

That was way back.

Here are the dummies.

Is this the man you were in the
restaurant with?

Nut City, USA.

Are you going to sit around while your
buddy Suss burns you?

Because if that's what you want, that's
exactly what's going to happen.

Put him in the car.

You told us before Yancey became
involved in the action outside.

He was in here with another guy, right?

Yeah. But when I, you know, looked out
the window, he was no way around.

He was already gone.

All right, let's say he was. All I want
to know is this.

Is this the guy?

No, no, that's not him.

How about this one?

No, I don't think so. That don't look
like him.

Now try this one.

Hey, what do you know?

That's the guy. That's him.

Mr. Flock, you're a beautiful person.

Central to 723K.

Central to 723K.

723, go ahead. Command request your
location.

Our present location is Falcone's
Restaurant. The lieutenant is

proprietor, K. Roger, 723K. Would you
inform command we have a suspect in our

custody and we're on our way in? Roger,
central to 723, 10 -4.

Hey, Theo.

We're being crucified.

You're not going to ask, like, how's he
doing?

You're right, I'm sorry.

How is Weaver? He was doing great until
I got finished with him.

Nothing's changed. He's still okay?

He's got a little bump on the head. Now,
what's this about being crucified?

Downtown. You wouldn't believe it. How
come Yancey could walk right into the

hospital and kill Wexler? How come
Yancey could get away from you and

How come Yancey was granted bail before
anybody knew if Wexler was going to make

it? How come? How come? How come? Yeah,
how come? How come? It's not our

problem. Let him lay it on the judge.

Well, I mean, listen to them. You'd
think that Yancey was John Dillinger,

mad bomber, and the Boston Strangler all
rolled into one.

That's how bad they want him. I'm going
to give him a real giggle. I ought to go

down there and tell him I don't think
that Yancey had anything to do with

Wexler. Theo, you're giving me an ulcer.

Yeah. Blue tag?

Yeah. There's this guy. His name is
June. He's called twice.

Hello. Press six.

Look at this.

Hello. Do you feel looking for studs?

Yeah, well, he's got a crib on
Morningside Drive.

Number 218.

Yeah, but, uh, the wife says that Wexler
was in there for some money.

Like maybe four or five bills.

Hey, Junior, you remember that preview
we were talking about?

This was it.

Cracker, bring the hat.

I told you before, I don't want you
making bets in the station house.

Where you heading?

Looking good.

Yeah, see?

Zapper, zapper, zapper, do.

a piece.

All right, split.

Boy,

these don't make you fat, they make you
strong.

Drink a couple of these, baby, you can
boogaloo all night.

I got a big bad bullet in play, baby.

I'd boogaloo a week on two -cent plain.

Hey, all right.

When's the last time you saw an Owexler?

I don't know the man.

You know, if he walked through that door
right now, I wouldn't know him.

How about Yancey? Does he know him?

Oh, hey, you got him.

Maybe you better ask him.

I mean, Yancey's my main man, but...
Hey, wait a minute.

What makes you say we got him?

You're the one who bailed him out.

Oh, come on, Lieutenant.

Now, you're not the only one that's got
friends.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if we
didn't have some of the same ones.

Did she tell you why we picked them up?

Lula? Shoot, I don't need Lula to tell
me that.

Guess that play's facing a lot of time,
ain't he? You know something?

For a smart man, he's pretty stupid
knocking off Wexler.

Maybe he was and maybe he wasn't.

I mean, nobody saw him, right?

So how are you going to get a jury to
say that he did it?

You know something? You're right.

If nobody saw him.

You got a witness.

Hey, Stux, you want to scratch a big fat
itch for me?

Yes, you, baby.

Where were you this morning?

Who, me?

Man, let me tell you about this.

I spent three hours today down at the
parking violations place.

Still had to pay the fine.

Twenty -five dollars. And for what?
Because I couldn't read some stupid no

parking sign.

Mad, mad meter maids. Terrible.

That was it.

Beautiful.

All finished? No, I'm not all finished.

You know, there's something very bad
about that dude, or it's time for me to

hand in my papers. What did you find
out?

He's cool. He was down there, had his
hearing, paid 25 bucks, he's straight.

That figures.

Here's what I want you to do.

Go get Lula and have her come down here
right away. And if she doesn't want to

come down? Hey, Crocker. All right, I
was just asking. Tell her I need her

For Yancy. Yancy?

Aren't we looking for him?

I am looking for him, yes.

Right.

Push the button, Yancey.

Come here.

Ah, sure.

I'll go to nowhere.

Yancey! Go, Jack.

I tried to save your fanny, baby, but
you're sure making it tough.

I heard that with all my life, Hunky.

I had all the saving I could take.

Don't be a mud hawk, hon.

I know you had nothing to do with
Wexler.

I guess you're really going to put the
horn in his studs, aren't you?

And like a kid, you're going to go
upstairs, ring the doorbell, yell a

names at him, put holes in him.

Real smart, isn't it? You're going to
show him.

I guess now you're going to shoot me
some of that jive about letting the law

take care of it, right?

You know, that's what I want to do
exactly.

Only there's a catch to it. Don't I know
it, baby.

Hey, I'm not asking you to love me. Love
you?

Man, I can't even look at you.

Me? Well, that's a good deal because I
don't get too worked up about you

kid.

So now are you listening?

Huh?

It's the way you said.

Wexler was an important man.

And somebody has to take the fall for
what happened to him.

Stuff? Here's an alibi.

And you, kid, you're a perfect fit.

Me, I happen to believe you didn't lay a
glove on Wexler.

But I can't prove it.

So what are we going to do?

Can't see.

Stutz, he's the bad guy.

Want to help me make a case?

Run it. I want to put a wire on you.

Send you upstairs.

You get Stutz to talk and we'll have it
all on tape.

So what? I still assaulted a cop.

Give him a little apology and he'll
forget about it all.

Tell me something.

I could answer that.

But you'd never believe me.

So how about it? Are you in?

Uh -uh, baby.

I'm going to take care of business my
way.

You are dumb, kid.

When? In a hundred years when you get
out?

All right, your man's in there. You want
to give it a shot?

you is that she is smart enough to see
it's the only offer you've got.

Hey!

Okay.

I'm coming out.

You sure taking his time?

Uh -huh.

If we lose him now, I'd hate to think
about it. Well, then don't. So what

saying is the fact that they let me go
again means I ain't got nothing to worry

about.

Man, you in hog heaven and don't even
know it.

I mean, but why'd you shoot the dude,
man?

What makes you think I shot him? Oh,
man, you shot him.

Oh, yeah, well, he came off wrong, man.
Mean, you know.

Call me out.

Just I have to put up with that mess no
more.

Yeah, but man, why did you put him to
sleep? I mean, I was in trouble enough.

This way, nobody gets hurt.

I hope you're right, man.

Coast on right, coast on right. All you
got to do is be cool.

Yeah, but man, you should have told me.
I mean, it don't look good.

Hey, brother.

I mean, it looked like you were trying
to set me up.

Hey, play, baby. I mean, you're my main
man.

There.

Hey, play, what... Hey, man, you're
trying to goof me, man.

That's right, brother.

Okay,

okay.

Bag him.

Turn around, baby.

Can I ride with them?

Let her go with them.

Anything on this thing?

Yeah.

Then I'd better get it down to the DA's

They want to hear it right away. Tell
him I said to ram it in his satchel.

What do you expect? Thank you, officer.

Come on.

spirit after the break.
