Thank you.

Thank you.

We gotta split up, man.

You know what you gotta do? Yeah.

Yeah. Look at this stuff.

Call ya.

You make sure you do.

What went wrong?

Another guy.

Heard I was busting out, wanted to come with me. Another guy?

What happened to getting out back in the van at the bus?

I'm sorry for anything.

Takeout's up.

Luther.

Take this over to Fox's. All right.

Oh, Luther, I can do that. I've got to pick up my car from Bernie anyway.

Great. Thanks, Ellie.

Come on, Jack.

Wakey, wakey.

Rise and shine, honey.

Come on, now. Don't give me no trouble.

There's the door.

Come on. Hey, hey, buddy.

I'm getting real tired of this.

You okay?

Would you clean that up, Luther?

I'm just finishing all my tears.

I can't stay cooped up in here. I've got to see my mother, man.

She's not going anywhere, Joe.

I'm not going to do time on this.

What if she dies before I get there? What if you die before you get there?

Take it from here on my own, okay? You're all over the newspapers, Joe.

Your pal Patsy, they haven't found him yet. Does he know about me? You don't

seem to understand. I got things to straighten out with her. She's my

Bern.

Bern, I need some pants.

Can you find me something to go with this shirt?

I gotta find Sally's car.

If it's still there.

So maybe I should just cut out right now and find some hole I can crawl into for

a couple of days. You're staying in the office. End the conversation.

I'm going to bring Aunt Lucille here. Here, sit.

Read.

That's probably our breakfast. Come on.

Hey,

Sally. I thought the bus was... I didn't think you had... No, no problem.

Hey, big breakfast, Bernie.

What's up?

You know.

Night hawking always fills up the appetite.

Hello, anything nifty on the agenda?

No, just a couple of skip tracers and library work. I'll give you a ring.

Hey, listen, I need the car to drop the kids at swimming and piano lessons after

school. Do you still need my car for the surveillance?

Car? Car, why don't you keep the link?

How you doing, Bernie? All right, doing good.

Come on in. I'll be right with you.

You're sure about the cardboard? Yeah, absolutely.

Hi, Joseph Morse.

Hi.

Joe. Sally does some investigating for me every now and then. My pleasure.

Mom, mine too.

Uh, Bernie, listen, any little job you can toss my way. You got it. I'll keep

in mind. Listen, Sally, you couldn't recommend a good economy hotel, could

Hey, Joe, I got you covered.

You're gonna love it.

Something homey, a rooming house? How long are you in town for? Not very long.

Oh, I don't know, cousins.

A couple days, maybe. I don't think so.

You guys are cousins?

Distance. Oh.

Well, I got a basement room.

Hey, Nighthawk Joe.

What, are you going to be a family man now?

Oh, hang on a second, Fern. This might be all right. Well, it's nothing

but it's clean. You're welcome to it.

Sally, I do have something for you after all.

Oh, great. Nice meeting you.

Uh, you should bring a glass of coffee sometime.

You grew up together?

Sally, I don't think you want Joe staying in your basement.

Come on, but what is the deal? You are acting so embarrassed around him.

Embarrassed? No way. What for?

I don't know, but you're acting pretty funny. I don't mind him staying.

Okay. Look, there's something about Joe. Joe has done some time,

and I don't want him around your kids, you know, bad influence, black sheep.

You catch my drift?

What was he convicted for? Hanging paper.

Bad checks.

Hmm.

I hope he's got himself straightened out. Oh, he's working very hard at it,

I've got to keep my eye on him. Oh, Bernie, listen.

The registration papers for the car, they're hidden under the floor mat in

you get something speeding, right?

Bernie! The ignition, it's tricky, but if you turn on the radio and slap the

dash at the same time, it works. I'm glad you told me that before there was a

problem.

Ah, Bernard.

Everything okay?

Aces, Reverend.

Aces.

Something help me?

What are you trying to do to me, Joey, huh? I told you, I don't want her

involved in this. I'm sorry for stepping on your toes, okay?

I know how you hate people stealing your action.

Sit down.

Stay out of sight.

I just want to see my mother before she dies, Vern.

I don't even know what she looks like anymore.

How does she look, Byrne?

You haven't seen her either, huh?

When was the last time you saw her?

I get an excuse. I was in the joint, remember?

It's probably what made her ill, Joey.

That's not right, Byrne.

I'm going to go see your mom.

And I want you to stay here.

Can you do that?

Will you do that for me?

Yeah, I can do that.

I'm counting on you.

Thanks, Bert.

in 20 minutes.

We'll make it, Ray. Quit nagging me.

I'm booking off, Johnny.

You're in tomorrow, right? Yeah, full set.

Feminine 16.

Mom! Don't get ketchup on your sheet music, honey. His dad gets real pissed

he has to wait.

We'll make it, Ray. Quit nagging me. This clock is wrong. We're already late.

Hi there, Sally.

Oh, Joe, hi.

I didn't expect to see you so soon. I'm just booking off, actually. Oh, that's

no problem. Bernie asked me to pick up the Lincoln that you threw with it.

Oh. That's okay with you.

Uh, yeah. I just thought I'd take Ray swimming and Marie to a piano lesson.

can drop us.

Perfect. It's like ten minutes ago already.

Is this your kid? Yeah.

You don't look old enough to be their mother.

This is Joe, Bernie's cousin.

Hey. Can we go now?

Ray? Piano, huh?

You know, Bernie used to try to teach me the piano.

Yeah, what was that?

North End of Winnipeg.

He used to slam the ivories at every dance.

Man, I wanted to play just like him.

You still play?

No, they never seem to have a piano where I hang out.

Come on, let's roll.

It's been a long time.

Lucille in the sky with... Rhinestones. You haven't changed a bit.

And you're still lying through your teeth.

What's the occasion?

Oh, I went on a sentimental jag about the peg in old times and new.

Does your doctor know you're still smoking?

What doctor?

I'm as healthy as a horse.

In the stretch.

Heard from Joey?

No. Not a word.

Haven't heard since his dad died.

Can I pour you a drink?

Help yourself.

No, he does. He liked Elsa.

No, it's not my type.

Get off the phone, Marie.

Uh, she's going with Tony.

Ray? Don't worry.

Now. Mark?

It's not my type.

Marie?

See you tomorrow. Gotta go. Bye.

So, who is your type?

Mom. No, no, come on. Multiple choice.

Intelligent?

Yeah.

But not too intelligent, so they know everything and are really boring all the

time. Yeah, I hate that.

Handsome?

Yeah.

Doesn't hurt.

But not so handsome that he's got drool from all the other girls on him.

So, what about your type?

Oh, gee, I guess personality's a big thing for me.

Anyone in mind?

Uh... Oh, God, no.

Bernie's cousin seems kind of nice to me.

Yeah, kind of.

Is he here?

Please, God, is he here? What's this about, Bernie? I want the truth.

Leave here. I'd kill him.

You could have said something, you know. Anything.

I did.

It's his bad influence, and he did time sound familiar to you? You know, he

wasn't supposed to leave here. He wasn't supposed to leave prison, either.

How much did you have to do with this? Trust me. You don't want to know.

Give me a break. Trust is not in your vocabulary.

You're right.

Never again. No more.

I've been burned for the last time.

What could you possibly owe him that you helped him break out of prison?

Nothing.

Not a damn thing.

I didn't owe him anything.

Only if Mom was dying.

My aunt, he smoked me.

I don't appreciate being lied to and kept in the dark all the time.

That makes two of us.

How are we going to be partners, Bernie?

If you don't open up to me, I'm going to... You're going to what? You're going

to quit?

You gonna walk?

I got more important things on my mind, like getting popped for helping my

little cousin.

Yes.

Hang on.

Joe.

Yeah?

Yeah, I'll be there.

It's the guy Joe came out of the joint with. He's got two... Train tickets.

You got the keys to the Lincoln?

The keys.

I gave them to Joe.

That's my car.

Yeah, I didn't intend to implicate you in this. I don't believe you. What was I

going to do if the cop came to me?

Hey, remember, trust me. I thought maybe you'd cover me.

That's him.

cool. I'm hot.

Why are you hurting him?

Choke me all the damn time ever since I was five years old. Why do you make

me do that?

I can't take care of you the rest of my life. Come on, you guys. Settle down,

both of you.

Take some responsibility.

Take care of business.

What's the difference, man?

What's the difference?

We're just the same.

Joe, I have the tickets. Let's go. Go!

I'm not going to stop you.

I'm not going to know you.

You're walking away again, Byrne.

What do you want from me, Joey?

You said you were going to come back for me.

What happened now?

You were 15 years old.

I was on the road. I'm in New Orleans. What am I going to do with a 15 -year

-old?

You could have come and talked to me.

I was just a kid.

Joe, we got heat here.

You're not a kid anymore.

Are you coming or what?

No.

Stay in.

Suit yourself.

Joey?

What's going on?

I got people.

Sally, Bernie, this is my wife, Pauline. We just got married.

I've heard so much about you. It's nice to finally meet you.

Congratulations. Thank you.

I'm not going to run out anymore.

They'll have more time to understand.

Are you sure?

Hey, does anybody here belong in this car?

You're in a two -way zone.

Move it or lose it.

Oh!

I'll get right on that, officer.

Good luck.

Talk to you later, pal.

Well, you know where I'll be.

I don't see any stuff there, huh?

Joey?

You got the keys, Mike?

Look at that.

The ticket window will be closed in five minutes.
