There's a half a million bucks still missing.

So, you're suspending me?!

You didn't turn it in. You stashed it.

Would it embarrass you if I were to tell you that I loved you?

Stack 'em neat, boys. I don't want no bulges showin'.

Boss, I ain't never seen so much money

in my whole life.

You're never gonna see it again...

So you just forgot you saw it.

Put your nerves in your hip pocket

and let's do this thing right.

I don't want word back from Chicago

that we messed up on our end.

No way. Not this, dude.

Not Mattie.

No, this is gonna go down like fine liquor.

I mean smooth.

Attaboy! Or I'll choke ya!

Come here, you pack-rat. Who is this?

Somebody's in my bed!

Don't get biblical on me.

Hey, what does that, biblical, mean?

Oh... What?

You got dressed. Yeah.

There's no harm done that can't be undone.

No, no, no. Hold on there, mama.

I gotta go to work. Me, too!

Me too, hell! I'm going to work.

You're staying here. Honey, I need some shots of you.

You got enough pictures to choke an elephant.

We can have lunch?

We can go on a picnic. Hold it, hold it, hold it.

Hello?

Cock-a-doodle doo!

Hey, Rooster! What's happenin'?

Dig, that thing I been tellin' you about?

It's comin' down today. Yeah? When?

You can catch the action at the corner of Main and Werdin.

At the corner of Main Street and what?

Werdin, man. Werdin.

What's the matter with you, baby?

Sounds like you got something on your mind.

It ain't nothing I can't handle myself.

Main Street and Werdin Place. I got ya!

Hey, dig. You come up with a score,

you gonna pay ol' Rooster double? Times is hard, baby.

If you're right, I'm gonna send you

and your boyfriend to the Bahamas for a month.

Stay cool, baby. Stay cool.

Adios, partner.

That's it, sugar. Put a hold on it.

I'm going to work. Oh, Tony.

Well, you're not going without me.

I ain't takin' you with me... And stop that...

Or I'm gonna punch you in the head.

You try anything funny and I'll call a cop.

Yeah? Wait till you hear what the cop calls you.

Darling, take me with you.

Honey, don't start that craziness again.

I'm gonna be gone a couple of hours.

A couple of hours is a lifetime.

I could be dead. Don't talk that way.

I told you, Fred's very neurotic. See there?

You got him feeling insecure. Hey, Fred?

Tony? What, honey?

I feel insecure. I know.

I feel I'm missing something in life.

I know, honey, I know.

That's why you're always trying to catch life

in that camera of yours and hold onto it forever.

But it don't work that way, sugar.

You gotta live it, or lose it.

Tony, that's so easy for you to say,

you're Italian.

What's that mean, I'm Italian?

It means I'm 31.

You're what?! I'm 31, Tony.

I been hoodwinked! In that bed I thought you were 18.

Tony, please! I'm gonna call my barrister!

I can't wait around for things to happen. Well don't wait around.

Just clean the joint up a bit. Be Jewish...

Make me some soup. Come on, come on.

Now stop it. I'm going.

Tony, please. Now, darn it!

Come on! I'm gonna be gone for an hour.

Keep busy, keep busy! I'll keep busy!

I'll keep busy! How would you like your bird for dinner?

Fried?! Fricasseed?

You nut.

I'm sorry, Fred.

You nut!

What are you doing here? I told you to stay home!

I was taking some good pictures of you.

Put your junk in the back of the car and I'm gonna call you a cab.

I brought you lunch. I don't want any lunch.

What is this? It's good.

Get out of here! Take off!

Will you get out of the car?!

Will you stop arguing?! They'll get away.

The first chance I get, I'm gonna stop

and you're getting out of this car.

Stop shooting those pictures and get down!

Wait, just let me get this. Did you hear what I said?

Will you get down? I'm getting down!

I'm getting down!

I'm tellin' ya, honey, this is not kid stuff. Now get down!

Yeah, it's counterfeit all right.

Nice fresh plates.

Clean.

Rotating serial numbers.

Tony: How much do you figure's there?

Oh, five, six million.

I'm through for now, Inspector.

I'll send someone up from the lab for these.

Okay, thanks.

Baretta, they got a fella down

at the hospital named "Mattie the Fish."

Did you ever hear of him?

Nope.

Seems he's a delivery boy for Aldo Santeen.

Yeah, I've heard of him.

They picked this Mattie up

at your stakeout with three slugs in his gut.

He was one of the guys.

It's 50-50 whether he's gonna live, but they got a statement from him.

Yeah?

He said he was carrying for Santeen at the time he was shot...

A half a million... in real money.

That figures... the guys that were selling that toilet paper...

They ain't selling it for popcorn.

Yeah, but the question is, where is the half a million?

With the three guys that got away, right?

Your report here doesn't say anything

about anybody taking anything away from the scene.

There was a lot going on around there.

I couldn't see who was carrying what.

But you think they took it?

Yeah, sure I do. What do you think?

Do you have any idea who they are?

Nope.

All right, you got three John Doe warrants for attempted murder.

If they do have the money, we'll be lucky if they're still in town.

So it would please me if you bring them in here fast.

It would please me, too.

Just bring them in, Baretta.

And the money.

Yeah, sure.

Money. Money, Fred!

One for you and one for me.

We're alive.

Hi, Madame La Zonga. Hi, honey.

You told me that you didn't own a suit.

You're a liar. What are you doing with that thing?

That ain't seen daylight since I graduated high school.

Hi, dummy. You know?

I'll bet you're murdering a million moths in there.

Come here and talk to me.

You know? You didn't notice my dress.

I noticed your dress. It's beautiful.

Really, you look terrific. Thanks.

Stand on your head! Your shirt's beautiful.

Attaboy! Come rollin' over for me.

Now talk like a chicken. Chicken?

Terrific.

Bark, bark.

Get up here.

Come over here and rest.

No, don't eat that. Why not?

Don't eat it because we're going out to dinner.

Ooh!

Ooh, that's rank! You know, Tony?

You probably just dropped two dollars in your lap.

Yeah, well ask my lap how it tastes.

I wonder if they got a beer around here.

Tony? Huh?

Would it embarrass you if I were to tell you that I loved you?

Oh, do you think you do?

Well, you give me enough trouble.

I don't know if I do or not, I...

I feel that I could, if I let myself.

I feel that way.

Hey, Ginger...

Mr. Astaire would like to loosen up his pins.

Do you wanna hit the floor?

Huh?

Okay.

I know I've been a pain in the tush.

I've always been like that,

but I think we're good together.

Oh, yeah. We're terrific together!

You keep trying to get a shot of me getting killed.

That's lovely! Tony, be serious.

Now here's a girl pouring out her heart to you.

Yeah, the rest ain't bad either, darlin'.

I like you so much!

Sometimes I feel so lost.

Who the hell am I, anyway?

Shh.

Andrea Holland.

That's not even my real name.

I was born on a farm.

I should have had three kids by now.

Hey, you know what my old man always said?

"You take shoulda', and coulda',

and 10¢ and you get a cup of coffee."

You know what that means?

That means you stop kvetchin' and you keep on strokin'.

Just keep on strokin'.

Stay here a minute, darlin'. I will get the wheels.

Why don't you ever let the doorman park the car?

No, no... you'd be embarrassed with that junk.

It only talks Italian... that's how come I gotta drive it.

Watch that telephone, don't let it run away, you hear?

Don't pick nobody up.

Maybe just one?

Get his gun.

I got it.

Where's the money, cop?

We read the papers. You didn't turn it in.

You stashed it!

Tony?!

Tony!

Tony! Tony!

I'm okay.

I'm okay. Get me to the car.

Come on.

Everbody's looking for a half million dollars.

I don't know what the hell's going on.

Billy? Get up here, man! Something terrible went down.

I didn't even think about it, Tony.

They came in and hit the elevator

like they knew the place. Man, was I stupid.

But I didn't know you were in any heat.

I was stupid, man. I should have told ya.

Is there anything you can give me?

Muncey.

Muncey? Muncey.

He was drivin' the cab. I saw him through the door.

Beautiful! Yeah.

What's that cab number? Never mind. I got it.

What time was it?

Oh, 10:30 or 1 1:00.

Yeah, hello. This is Tony Baretta.

I'm a friend of Bill Muncey's. Does he happen to be there?

Oh, beautiful. Will you put him on?

Hey, Muncey? Listen.

Tonight about 10:30, 11:00, you picked up three suits.

You drove 'em over to my hotel.

Where'd you pick 'em up? Look on your pad.

Great! Great! Thank you. No, everything's cool.

Just keep your mouth shut. Everything will be fine.

Yeah... adios.

He's still inside.

Well, get over there by the doorway.

He won't be in there long.

Them cowboys ain't gonna be waitin' around where he can find them.

I was wondering when we'd meet, Baretta.

You've stayed away from me for a long time.

For a cop, that is very good.

Well, I like to keep the folks happy if I can.

It would make me happy if your boy up there

could point that thing someplace else.

How much do you like living, Baretta?

As opposed to what?

I'm gonna give you a chance to go on living.

Give me back what belongs to me.

That wouldn't be 500 G's, would it?

Yeah, 500 G's.

You know, if that thing happens to go off,

we're both gonna splatter all over that pretty suit...

Mr. Detective, I'm short on patience.

I'm a businessman.

Nobody gave me what I got and nobody takes it from me.

Now, I want my money back. No, no, don't get tense.

You're looking for your money. I ain't got your money.

But I'm looking for it too. I promise you.

The only reason you're still breathin',

is because it ain't worth

a half a mil to waste you yet.

I hope you believe me, 'cause I'm too scared to be lying to you.

I ain't got your money, but the guys who got your money

are the same guys that messed up your little party this afternoon.

Do you think I'm stupid? No.

Those cowboys from Chicago is trying to burn you.

You think they're doing it because they like you?

Do you know who they are?

Yeah, they used to work for a partner of mine.

They came here to burn me.

They didn't get what they came for.

If they had it, they'd be gone by now.

Yeah, that figures.

Are you playing dumb with me, Baretta?

I ain't playing stupid. Sometimes I am stupid.

But I'm catching up to you fast.

You ain't got the money and I ain't got the money.

And it figures them cowboys ain't got the money. You got 12 hours.

Get me back what belonged to me or you're a corpse.

Tony, where've you been? I've been worried sick.

I thought you were dead. I've been to the County Fair,

and the birds and bees were there.

Yeah, me dead.

You know, that ain't a bad bet the way things are going.

What are you looking at me like that for?

Well, you see, I got this little hunk of brain-fever

right up here in the corner of my head

and I can't get rid of it.

I figure maybe you can help me.

Sure.

What is it?

It's a half a million dollars is what it is.

Now you see, these guys from Chicago,

they beat me up 'cause they think I got it.

And tonight this big macher named Santeen,

who is a bad man, he said he's gonna snuff me

if I don't give it back to him.

But I ain't got it to give back to nobody

except I'm starting to think I got it

'cause everybody keeps telling me I got it.

Anyway, well...

you were there with me and I figure

maybe you saw something

that I didn't see or whatever.

Like what?

Like a half a million dollars in a bag.

It sure would get me off the hook.

Tony, are you asking me if I stole it?

No, honey.

I'm just mumbling to myself about it.

You're accusing me! I'm not accusing you.

I'm just, you know, thinking out loud.

Trying to figure something out, that's all.

Well, wait a minute. I want to get pictures of this.

Let me go get my camera and I'll set it up.

If I'm a suspect, why don't you search my apartment?

I already searched your apartment, Andy.

Tony.

I'm a cop, you see?

I'm a cop.

I gotta hit the streets.

I gotta get me some info.

When are you going?

I'm gonna go now.

It's 3:00 in the morning.

Yeah, I know. Some of my people don't get up

till 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning.

You'd be surprised what goes on in the streets

when there ain't nobody awake except me and the owls.

Tony? Yeah?

You were kidding about them killing you, weren't you?

Oh, yeah. That's nothing.

That's just a little cops-and-robbers talk.

See you later, sugar.

You'll lock the door on your way, right?

Well, Rooster.

If it ain't you, man, it ain't gonna be nobody.

I hear you.

I shouldn't even be talking to you.

I'm hearing how dudes with big cannons

is talking about blowing you away before the day is out.

Well, I don't figure you want me to fall before you get a taste.

Hey, I don't want you checking out at all.

Maybe you see my man over there... Slit?

He'll tell you something you need to know.

That ain't gonna be hard, 'cause I don't know nothing,

that's for damn sure.

Yeah, I know that.

That's all your life's worth?

Um, um, um.

My man, Rooster, says you want to talk.

You Baretta? You Slit?

I need something from you.

No, no, no. I don't deal that way.

First you cop and then we'll talk.

All right.

You know those three guys from Chicago?

The ones staying at the Marcus Hotel?

Yeah. You been looking for them?

I know where they are. Where?

A friend of mine got them a pad

they could lay up in for awhile.

Yeah? Where?

It's at 1118 Kettleman Street.

Room 19.

Second floor, front of the building.

Good enough. I got it.

My man, Rooster, says you're cool.

That's good with me. No, no.

I don't want no money, sir.

What do ya want? Forget the "sir."

My kid sister is in the slammer.

Come on, man. I can't get nobody outta the joint.

I ain't asking that.

I know.

She was busted two days ago for dope...

Yeah?

And she was thin then.

She must be in the middle of hell right now,

'cause they got her in the damn tank downtown

along with a lot of tough broads, you know?

Yeah. Yeah.

I'm worried she ain't gonna make it without help.

She's my kid sister.

I know I shoulda helped her when she was on the outside.

I damn sure can't let her down now.

Please, Baretta, please.

Anything you can do.

I'll get her on a medical program.

You got my word.

When she gets out,

you take better care of her

or you and me are gonna talk again.

Okay? Yeah.

I won't forget.

Let me have some.

Hey, you got us some change, man?

We'll get us some Tokay.

I gotta have nine more cents.

You got some money? Money? No.

Shh!

Stay right here. My brother-in-law lives up there.

I'm gonna get us a whole gallon of Tokay.

Hey, Jack, save some for me.

Save some for me.

Save me some, Jack.

Wake up and die, rummy.

I've been dozing. Mickey, you awake?

Never mind, Mickey!

Get up there! Get against the wall!

Spread 'em! Spread 'em!

Who are you?

You know who I am. I'm Baretta.

I'm the guy you been working over.

Now we're gonna find out why. He's asking us?

Yeah, I'm asking you! Why?

What about a deal? What are you talking about? What deal?

We split it up. You give us half, we leave you alone.

There's two things wrong with that...

First, I don't want half and second,

I ain't got none of it.

Now, why are you working me over?!

Hey, Jack? Where's my wine?

You didn't save me none?

Uh-oh. The suits are here, huh?

We're Internal Affairs, Baretta.

We got some questions for you.

Yeah, I figured. Can't it wait till later?

I'm trying to get out of here.

Why don't you relax? You're out of action.

Don't believe everything you hear. The doctor released me.

It doesn't matter what the doctor said, you're suspended.

I'm what?!

Woman: She's the one in the corner there.

Mimi?

I'm a friend of your brother's. It's okay.

I'm a friend of Slit's.

I'm gonna help you.

I'm gonna let them take you out of here.

I'm gonna take you to a hospital.

Okay? Yeah.

Okay, come on.

Attagirl.

Tony? Hi, sweetie.

Ugh. I'm sorry.

I called the hospital. They said you'd be all right.

I ain't never gonna be okay,

but they ain't never gonna get me, either.

Where's your stuff?

What's going on?

I'm leaving. What?!

Billy's taken most of my stuff down to be shipped.

Where are you going? Home. To Gettysburg.

What do you mean? Just... just like that, you're going?

I thought about it after you left

and I realized that I've been bad for you.

Tony, it's what I feel.

Hmm.

Well, my old man always said you gotta go with the feeling.

Maybe I ought to up and go with you.

Oh, Tony, do you mean that? Come on.

Why not? They took my badge away from me.

I'm on suspension. I can't do my job.

Besides that, there's a bunch of rummies out there waiting to shoot me.

I oughta just go.

Naw... I ain't gonna go.

Tony?

Do you love me?

Andy, you're one of the most beautiful women

I've ever known... Inside and out.

And that's the truth.

But?

I understand. Now, now, now.

It's all right. I can take care of myself.

Just let me out of here. What is this?

My bus ticket to Gettysburg.

Andy? No, Tony.

I have to put my life together.

I mean, you said it yourself...

"You'd either live it or you lose it."

Sugar.

I'm betting on you, pal.

Do you hear me?

Thanks.

Hello.

She's gone, Fred.

That's the name of that tune.

That leaves you and me, huh?

Well, it ain't the first time, and it won't be the last.

My old man always said, "They're all special."

But she was something, wasn't she?

How about it?

You think she was right for me?

Nah, she probably had a little too much class

for us old pack-rats.

That's something, though.

You come home and she's taking a bus to Gettysburg.

Mm, mm, mm.

What's she taking a bus for?

She ain't never been on a bus in her life.

She wouldn't know where the hell to sit or anything.

Andy?

You knew.

I tried to tell you in the apartment,

but I didn't know how much you knew.

I let you down, darlin'. I should have understood.

I should have heard you when you were telling me.

I let you down. You didn't let me down.

You're with me. You'll come with me.

No, I won't.

You gotta come with me.

Oh, Tony.

Do you want to live or do you want to die?

Be quiet, sweetheart, or he gets blown away.

You're a jackass, Baretta...

And with your reputation on the streets.

Well, a half million's a lot of money, partner.

So, you got tempted.

Almost pulled it off.

I see you brought a lady alone with you.

Mr. Santeen, Tony didn't have anything to do with it.

I found it...

I found it on my own and hid it from him.

Please believe me.

So, that's why he came along with you to pick it up.

Nice try, lady, but Baretta knows me.

Baretta knows what I do to stupid people.

Listen, man. Ain't nobody knows here what's going down.

So you got the money.

All you gotta do is go on down the road, let us out.

Killin' a cop, that's a jackass move.

You talk pretty smart for a corpse.

Nobody knows I got the money.

Nobody knows I got you.

Not the people you work for,

the IRS or nobody.

And when I put you in a hole, that'll be the end of it.

Let's go!

Move, chump!

Nothing personal, Baretta.

Everybody's gotta go sometime, you and me.

This just happened to be your time.

Andy, what are you doing jumping in front of a gun? Tony, are you all right?

Did they hurt you? Are you all right? You crazy woman.

In the hospital, huh?

Yeah, she's gonna be fine.

Visiting her in the hospital was easy,

but boy, going to see her in the slammer,

that's gonna be something else.

Nobody wins them all.

Yeah.

I sure wish I could have helped her.

You know, in her own way,

she kept trying to tell me, and I didn't listen.

Big, sensitive cop,

and I didn't hear nothing.

She'll serve her time and she'll get out.

She'll have scars like all the rest of us.

She'll join the human race.

Remember what your daddy used to say...

"Keep strokin'.

Just keep strokin'."

Play the black five and don't be so smart.

The five. Thank you.
