(Woman screaming, goat baaing)

(Screaming)

Stoppa, Giordano, stoppa!

Giordano!

(Speaking Italian)

(Speaking Italian)

(Speaking Italian)

(Chickens squawking)

You really think he'll be here, huh?

Eh, everybody say so,

He's to be best man at the wedding.

Everybody else knows he'll be here,

Then the police ought to know it, too.

They do.

All the way up to the chief of police,

Who gets paid more from Giordano

Than he does from the government.

Million lira reward

And the man enjoys a wedding feast.

Eh, enjoyment is only for the living.

The man who tries to collect that reward

Wouldn't live an hour.

Giordano is like a king here.

Beloved by all his subjects.

Why not...

He steal from the rich and, uh, he give to the poor.

You really believe that?

Look at the feast he prepares for them.

They'll remember this day and talk about it for years.

All this land,

They'll remember for lifetime and for generations after,

'Cause of Giordano,

The people own the land.

(Church bells tolling)

Regular Robin Hood, huh?

(Crowd chattering)

Is he there?

The one with the chief of police.

(Crowd chattering)

Get a picture of both of them.

(Speaking Italian) You crazy.

(Chattering)

La salute de la me esposa!

(Together) A la salute!

**

Attenzione, Jacomo.

(Speaking Italian)

Ah,

Welcome to Monte Patzia, Senor Anderson.

I'm honored to have you here.

How did you know my name?

I tell you what you had for breakfast,

Or the name of a hotel chamber maid if you like.

(Laughing)

(Speaking Italian)

(Speaking Italian)

Mr. Giordano, do you mind if I, uh...

No, you go head, use your machine, it's okay.

Thank you.

I didn't know that, uh, you spoke English so well.

You American GI's in war, I learned from them.

In Sicily always like that...

From each invader, we take something.

My mother could sing in Greek, French,

Always invaded.

My grandfather, he could sing the songs

Of the Arabs and Mohas,

All of them dead now.

From Germans,

We get this.

How?

How did you get it? Same like GI's, kill Germans.

You're saying that you fought with the Americans

Against the Germans?

No, in war you fight for yourself,

For your own people.

Nobody else.

But the war is over.

As long as people are hungry,

There will be war.

(Speaking Italian)

(Giordano) Scusate.

I have high honor of first dance with bride.

(Applauding)

**

(Gunshots ring out)

Giordano!

(Yelling in Italian)

Army troops in helicopters, listen, you can hear them.

(Crowd shouting)

(Helicopter blades whirling)

(Shouting in Italian)

(Speaking Italian)

(Shots fired)

Giordano morto!

Prenderlo.

Andiamo.

(Speaking Italian)

(Speaking Italian)

Andiamo.

Andiamo!

Dare me.

(Speaking Italian)

(Gunfire)

(Shouting in Italian)

"4:30 this afternoon local time,

"A special task force of government troops

"Cornered and killed

"The legendary Sicilian bandit chieftain,

"Salvatore Giordano.

"In order to overcome any superstitions

"The peasants might have about his mortality,

"Giordano's riddled body and that of his chief lieutenant

"Are being displayed in the mountain villages

"Of this primitive area,

"To prove conclusively to his own people

"Salvatore Giordano is in fact...

Dead."

**

Any problems?

Everything went as you planned.

Captain Virgo, you've done your job well.

I will see you are promoted to major.

Va!

The Great Giordano, eh?

Wild King of The Hills.

Non cispico.

Oh, I'm Johnny Colini.

Colini. Si.

Don jo veda America? You're in Rome, safe,

The way only a dead man could be safe.

Morto? Si.

The world thinks Giordano is dead.

We left a man in your place that looked very much, well, uh,

Enough like you,

Especially when he has very little face left.

The only way I can get you out of the hands of the army.

Why? Because you're an anomaly.

I-I have a particular use for your kind of violence.

Tomorrow they bury you, Giordano.

Heh-heh-heh-heh!

There're not very many men

Who can weep at their own funeral, eh?

What!

Don't you...

Don't you say thanks for saving your life?

You say how much you want, and I pay you.

In what? In Chinchilla, I have...

In Chinchilia!...

You have nothing!

You're dead.

Morto.

What do they say in your village

When they speak of Colini?

That he's like a king in America.

A King... of murderers.

Ha, ha!

No more.

No more.

For over a year now, I've been in Rome.

You know what deported means?

Si.

What would you do if one of your men

Informed to the police? That could not be.

But if it did happen?

That man would be found and killed

If it took a whole lifetime.

And the sons had to do it after.

I have many children,

I do not know the names of most of them

Or what happened to them,

But I have no son I would show as my son.

What do you want of me?

Here you will live.

And live well.

Come.

(Birds chirping)

While you are here,

You'll go through a process of polishing

Designed to make you civilized,

A little, not too much,

On the surface, not inside.

When I decide you're ready, you'll do a job for me.

A job no other man could do.

I want you to go to those who betrayed me,

Take back what they stole and make them dead.

Do that and what is mine is yours.

You will be my son.

I am no son of Colini.

You disgraced us in America.

Mm, hm, hm.

There is a streak of decency in you.

We've gotta get rid of that streak.

They teach you to murder in Chicago,

And then they send you back to us.

And you... Who taught you to murder?!

I am no criminal.

I never murder for money.

All I have done, I have done for my people.

Yes, I'm a criminal, I know it.

I'm not kind, I know that.

I'm not even a generous man, I go to church and lie to God.

What's mine is mine

Because I'm selfish, mean and cruel.

There's no one I could point to and say

This is the reason why Colini is a murderer,

But you... You have the people.

Poor people.

Mr. Giordano, you're a liar...

To yourself and the,

And the people, the poor people.

Aren't you weary of taking bows?

You ate well, you've stolen everything you wanted,

When your belly was full, you gave the rest away.

Ha, ha!

I know you, my young friend.

I am no friend of yours.

You will be, you have no other choice!

I'll put you in the streets, you'll be dead within the hour!

Or you'll do the job I picked for you,

And you'll become rich!

More money and wealth than a peasant could dream.

Tell me in lira.

You are not to understand a number that big.

But you'll learn.

Take you a long time,

But I will teach you.

I'll teach you America,

The clothes, how to walk, how to act.

Who has the money, where it come from,

Which are the important names and where their power lies.

And when I've finished,

You'll be one of the three men in the world who knows it all.

This I'll teach you,

But in the end, what will count

Is what is here!

In your hills you have been a glorious success!

We'll now see what you do with a mountain...

America.

You'll prove you can be the son of Colini.

And in a few years, when I have gone,

You will inherit my kingdom.

(Drum roll intro plays)

(Big band music playing)

I don't know how long I'll be.

Just wait.

Yes, Sir.

Good evening, Sir.

Good evening, Sir.

Your table's ready now, Sir.

I'll have the drinks sent over.

Follow me, please.

**

A sidecar.

Imported brandy.

Make it half sour. Yes, sir.

**

What do you say we have another drink?

It's empty.

No, nothing for me, thank you, Adrian,

And I think you've had enough.

Do I know you?

No.

Then what are you lookin' at?

I'm looking for the action.

I hear you know where it is.

Afraid you got the wrong impression.

I'm in guided missiles myself.

And my friend is in shopping centers.

Yeah, and I recognize the bartender

Is Al Capone's sister.

George!

George, give me a J&B on the rocks,

Make it a double.

I'm sorry, Mr. Guiness, I told you,

I told you, no more service this evening.

Ah, come on, what you playing with, kids?

Look, buster,

You heard the man, blow.

I beg your pardon.

I said, "Blow."

Well, uh...

Come on, honey, let's get outta here, shall we?

This place is rapidly deteriorating.

Miss, may I have the check please?

You go ahead, Adrian.

I'll call you tomorrow.

All right.

If that's the way you want it.

You sure?

Sure.

Well, how 'bout it?

Look, I don't know you.

My name's Colini.

Johnny Colini.

You any relation?

Why?

Because if you're using the name

And you're not,

You got puss for brains.

(Groaning)

(Gasping)

(Bartender) Brother, you better get outta here

While you still can.

Okay, have one on me,

It'll probably be your last.

I hope all of that wasn't because of something

Adrian might have said.

Adrian?

You mean the beard?

No.

Are you always so vicious?

Are you a fight fan? Why do you say that?

You looked like you enjoyed watching it.

Well, it was something to see.

My name's Dare Guiness.

Won't you tell me your name?

Sure.

Johnny Colini.

Johnny Colini was that man they had on television

During the crime investigations.

The one they called Johnny Cool.

There's a lot of Colini's.

Your name really Johnny Colini?

Okay, we got a bad start, where you from, Chicago?

I've been there. You know anyone?

A few people.

Russ, Frank, Vito.

Who do you know in Florida?

Diamond Boys... You want more names?

You know mine?

Jerry March.

That's right.

Oh, you made quite an impression.

My friend's hurt pretty bad.

You hurt a man's friend, you hurt the man.

That's old country talk.

I went to school in Rome.

Two years.

About the action, I'll let you know.

Where do I get in touch?

I'm out at the track.

I'm out there every day.

You're not waiting to see how your friend is?

Well, there's nothing I can do for him.

I'm not a doctor.

You don't really care if you know me or not, do you?

Honey, I'm not buying.

You couldn't.

Then it's easy,

Just forget it.

(Tires screech)

Take me to Jillys.

After I heard Colini, I called right away.

There were hotel records in Vegas and Miami,

But nobody knew 'em.

Nobody.

He's tough, he's got money.

He knows all kinds of things he shouldn't.

Look, Mr. Santangelo,

You give me the green light

And I'll put him where the fish will eat 'em.

You...

You, Mr. Kromlein.

You're so big in your mouth, hmm?

A man comes into a bar, makes trouble...

Don't you know enough to walk away!

When are you gonna learn, nothin' happens in public!

Mr. Santangelo...

Stop with the Mr. Santangelo!

When things are running smooth

It's Vince.

And when it's a little trouble, it's Mr. Santangelo!

You go to the movies, we wanna talk.

(Mixed chatter)

(Announcer) The horses are nearing the starting gate.

Number six, 10 times.

Number six, 10 times.

Hi.

Well, it can't be a coincidence.

No.

I heard you say that you were gonna be here.

I wanted you to know that I've thought it over,

And you can buy me...

A drink.

Why not.

Right over here.

(Announcer) There they go.

Lucky Judy breaking on top...

(Laughing)

We don't really have to have a drink

If you want to watch the race.

What'll you have?

I don't know, anything, whatever you're having.

Whiskey and water, two.

Yes, Sir.

That was the $100 window. Yes.

What horse? Number six.

Are you that rich

Or you just that sure of yourself?

You wanna try for both?

He's at the bar with a sharp looking broad.

He must have a couple of thousand on the six horse.

You stay with him.

Find out who she is.

I'm 27.

I grew up in Scarsdale with all the advantages.

Braces, dancing school, riding lessons,

The whole bit.

I've been divorced for about a year from a boy

Who grew up the same way.

He...

Well, you've seen Adrian.

Yes, so what do you do for kicks now?

There haven't been many...

Until last night.

I want to know you.

All men look like men, but...

So few really are.

What kind of work do you do? I'm a missionary.

Oh, you on a mission now?

Why all the questions?

Are you a gambler?

Well, what do you do?

I do my best.

(Crowd cheering)

Who got it?

(Man) Six horse, went all by himself!

Six!

That's your horse! Let's get outta here.

I can cash these in tomorrow.

Bartender.

It's been a lucky day.

A hundred bucks?!

Eh, what did the six horse pay?

It's not up yet.

All I know he was 10 to one,

And I didn't have 'em.

Give me a double martini.

Here, start with this, pal.

I've got to see a man about a horse!

Hello, Jerry.

I checked all over.

In Vegas there was a Johnny Colini

Registered at the Sands.

He calls himself Johnny Cool.

The name made their ears go up.

Yeah, a big tipper.

A lot a money, all cash.

He troubled nobody.

They said they could use a million like him.

He's traveled all over.

Left his mark.

Everybody remembers him,

But nobody knows him.

Whew boy,

That fettuccini's the wildest I've had in a long time.

How 'bout the Scungili Marinara?

Sicily,

That's where you're from, isn't it?

Good night, Dare.

Johnny Cool.

That's what they ought to call you.

(Phone ringing)

Late date?

(Sighs)

No, it's probably Adrian.

Come on in.

Hello?

Well, yes, he is.

It... it's for you?

Hello?

Yeah, now, sure.

Brenner garage, north side,

Entrance 18.

Okay, I'll be there.

How would anyone know you'd be here?

I don't know, do you?

Shall I wait?

Forget it.

You clean? Yeah.

Rules of the house, have to check you.

Okay? Okay.

Okay, go in.

(Mixed chatter)

(Man #1) Come on, Joe.

(Man #2) 200 line.

(Man #3) 300 line.

Glad you could make it.

You fellas operate in style.

This is a permanent game.

We own this garage and the hotel above it.

Come to the table?

Game is open craps.

(Men betting)

(Man) Bet is seven.

Seven, another winner.

Here we go, next shot, let's go.

Come on, Joe.

200 line. 300 line.

300, he's covered.

(Betting chatter)

Come on, dice.

Let's go, dice.

(Betting chatter)

Seven a winner.

He's a good shooter.

You got another 1,000, boy?

Boy.

(Man #1) 3-2-8.

(Man #2) 200.

(Overlapping betting)

Shoot, let's go, dice!

Seven one time!

(Dealer) Craps, a loser.

(Doorbell buzzes)

Johnny?

Police.

You Dare Guiness?

Yes.

What's wrong?

It's about Johnny Colini.

You may know him as Johnny Cool.

Could we come in please?

Yes, of course.

Is he in some kind of trouble?

He sure is, lady.

How well do you know him?

Barely at all, I only met him yesterday.

What'd he tell you about himself?

Not much really.

Where's he from?

Uh, Italy I think.

What makes you think that?

Well, we went to a little Sicilian place and he...

He told you he was from Sicily?

Well, no, not exactly.

Miss Guiness, if you know something

You're not telling us...

I don't. Uh-huh.

What's he doing in New York?

I don't know.

Suppose I tell ya.

Save your breath.

Can't you see he's got her lined up, too?

What do you mean?! That's right.

That's what he does.

Besides girls, he pushes dope.

I don't believe that!

You'd better get in here for a while.

Why should I?

If you don't tell us anything then we don't tell you anything!

Now go on, get in there!

Go on, get in there!

(Dealer) We got a new shooter, put your bets down.

500 line!

I got 2500 says he's right.

Yeah, 2500 says he's right.

Covered. All bets are down.

Shoot.

Let's go dice, one time, baby.

Eight, the point is eight.

Let's make that 500 more.

Okay, George, my pleasure.

Let's go dice, you can do it!

(Dealer) Seven, you lose.

Well, that taps me out.

Yeah, that taps us out.

You're pretty lucky, Boy.

(Dealer) A new shooter.

The dice are mine.

(Dealer) Next shooter.

Educated,

The dice are yours if you want 'em.

Yeah,

They're somethin' else.

Dice are mine.

Ain't that terrific...

My dice.

Okay, we got a new shooter coming out.

What do you want? Two he's wrong.

1,000 he's right. Covered.

And, uh...

Five for me.

Oh, okay.

No, allow me.

(Stickman calling) Seven, a winner.

Sure, we been perfect gentlemen as cops go.

No, not a thing, strictly legit.

She works for some designing house.

There's eight checks here

Made out to her from this guy, Guiness.

All uncashed, alimony I guess.

Are you sure you're gettin' everything?

I don't know.

She could be holding out.

Muscle her and find out.

How much muscle? I don't care.

Leave her somethin' to remember you by.

It'll be a pleasure.

Says we should leave her somethin' to remember us by.

All right, Miss Guiness, you can come out now.

Miss Guiness?

(Jiggling doorknob

You needn't be afraid, we're not gonna hurt you.

(Screams)

(Stickman calling) Seven... a winner, seven.

You're a good mechanic.

I enjoy watching you work.

I got 8,000 left, want it?

Why not?

I figure Educated's gonna stay lucky.

Now we swing.

(Stickman calling) 11, a winner, 11!

Amazing.

Yeah, ain't it?

How much do you want?

Scared money never made money.

You want the 16? Nothing.

I'm sitting this one out.

Yeah, well, save a dance for me, pretty boy.

How 'bout it, Johnny,

You got your sister book busy tonight?

Yeah, fix it up, we'll each owe ya two bits.

(Laughing)

Now we're gonna play a different game.

(Vince) Kromlein, help him out.

All right, let's finish the game.

I got a little left over.

6,000.

Only this time, I'm betting the shooter wins.

Open craps like you said.

I can bet win or lose, right?

Pick 'em up.

You better know what you're doing, friend.

Not only what but to who.

When you asked me names, you didn't ask me New York.

But I'll give you a name.

Don Vincenzo,

But you call him Mr. Santangelo.

Shoot, little man.

And stay lucky, hear?

You never can tell what the dice are gonna do.

Roll two fives back to back.

Can't roll two fives back to back.

Gun or no gun.

You're wrong, Mr. March.

Right now, at this moment,

But the only number I can't roll is one.

But I'll work on it.

Cover me!

(Stickman calling) 10, two fives.

Five, five, nice conventional start.

(Stickman calling) 10, a winner.

Two fives.

My, you are talented.

The 12 rides.

Come on Kromlein, get a piece of the action!

Something tells me to stay with him.

(Stickman calling) Seven, a winner.

Monotonous.

Anytime you get bored, we can quite, Mr. Colini.

Well, Educated hasn't given us the full show yet.

One roll and we call it a night.

24,000, that's what's layin' there.

Let's see an 11.

Y... you wouldn't settle for a,

For a seven would ya?

No, baby.

11.

(Stickman calling) Your 11, winner.

Hey, hey,

Hey, guys, you know,

You win some, you lose some, huh?

(Stickman calling) Craps, a loser.

You know, I can think of worse ways to spend the night.

Yeah.

No!

Who did this to you?

Was it because of me?

I didn't know anything to tell them.

**

That's all for tonight.

See you in the morning.

I'll wait for your call, Sir. Good night.

Good night, Sir.

**

Wanna stop for breakfast?

Yeah, I'm buying.

Hey, Mack.

You forgot something at the girl's apartment.

What girl?... Ugh!

Ugh!

Either you can handle your own people, or you can't.

The boy hurt him, Vince.

Well then, take care of it.

Don't come to me.

What's so important?

The boy comes here and uses a name

And uses a gun at a crap table.

The gun he used was a Berretta!

And he called you Don Vincente.

Now, here in the papers, where they say mutilated,

The men were marked, like in the old country

When somebody took revenge for rape.

Rape?

Well I sent them to this girl he was with

To see what they could find out.

Yeah, and they made tricks with her?

And that's why the boy marked 'em.

No, no, no, no, he couldn't a done it, Vince.

He didn't know who they were, he didn't know where they were.

He couldn't be in two places at once!

Now, Vince, that's what worries me.

How do we know how many people this Colini has with him?

Don't use that name!

There's only one Johnny Colini!

And that's an old man in Rome.

Vince,

I never turn my back on instinct.

Now, what if Cool sent him?

You know how he feels about things.

How he feels about you?

We'd better have a meeting, I'm telling you.

No...

I'm telling you.

You bring this boy to me.

That's what he wants... I'm sure!

Very nice...

That's very nice.

So, we give him what he wants.

(Horn honking)

(Buzzing)

You don't look like him.

How are you related?

I'm not. You're his man.

I'm no one's man.

I'm Johnny Colini. You want in.

I already am. You're a stranger to us.

Not anymore.

Not after the last few days.

Very violent.

He chose you well.

All right, we'll use ya.

It'll do us all some good.

I'm not here for a job.

You're like we were in the beginning.

We drink on it?

I'm here to take it all.

All of what?

I thought you knew something.

You want names, places?

How 'bout I give you the locations

In Turkey and Mexico where it's grown.

Or the name of the importer, in Marseilles,

And which of his ships brings it in.

The pharmaceutical houses in Milano

That process it into "H."

Or if that's all too far away,

How 'bout the name of the wholesale jobber

Over in Jersey,

Who handles over a ton of Benzedrine a month?

You talk like a mystery story.

Here, we're a legitimate business.

Everything legal. I know.

That's why I want the unissued stock

In the six corporations.

All of it.

Signed over to me.

The New York contracting interests,

The Vegas set up,

The Coastal, you can keep...

If you retire.

And if I don't? Then I take that, too.

You won't get what you want by using violence with us.

You got yours with a gun.

Way back in the beginning, yes.

Then I'll get mine as you got yours.

I'm givin' you 24 hours to deliver the unissued stock

To the trust department of the Chase National Bank.

In my name.

If I lift my hand,

You die.

Here, in this room, right now.

What difference does that make?

You think I'm here alone?

He is from Cool, isn't he?

I want Rome, Italy.

(Receptionist) Yes, Sir.

2-4-O-O-4-1.

Yes, Sir.

By tonight we'll have a man here

Who'll tell us for sure.

Meantime, I want you to arrange to pick up the girl.

But I told you she doesn't know anything.

He cares for her,

Or he wouldn't have done what he did.

What about him?

Oh, he'll be here for at least 24 hours.

He promised.

The men who did this to you are dead.

I killed them with a knife I took from your kitchen.

Who are you?

I'll tell you my real name,

Even though it won't mean anything to you.

I'll tell you why I'm here and what I'm going to do.

And after I've told you these things,

I want you to come with me.

Will you come?

(Man) It's apartment 334, right around the corner.

(Gurney wheels squeaking)

(Door buzzer)

How's she gonna open up if she already took the pills?

(Landlord) Miss Guiness!

Open up, Miss Guiness!

You'd better use your pass key,

You're just wasting time.

(Door opening)

They came to get me, didn't they?

(Men entering room)

It's true.

All those crazy things you told me.

Johnny, what do you expect to do alone against all this?

They'll kill you!

No, I'm the one who'll do the killing.

All over this country, in the next 48 hours,

And when I'm finished,

They'll think they've been hit by an army.

Everything depends on time now,

You know what you have to do.

I may never see you again.

We'll be together by noon tomorrow.

Okay, driver, the airport.

(Woman on pa system) United Airlines flight 8-19...

That's your mainliner flight

They're calling right now, Mrs. Miller.

Your husband's ticket will be ready for him when he arrives.

Thank you.

I tell you, you cannot afford to miss these bargains!

We are not selling cars today,

We are giving them away.

We are overstocked.

I tell ya, come down have a look,

Take any freeway, but get down here.

If you're cooking, stop cooking.

If you're on the couch, get off that couch

And come down and see these bargains!

I won't be responsible if you get down here,

And there're no cars left!

These are the bargains, I tell you.

And you come down here and you deal with me!

You will find that I will give you a...

We don't need anything at all, no references, no credit,

Just an honest face!

Bring your honest face right down here

To the lot today.

And now back to our movie.

Very good, Mr. Holmes, let me unplug you.

Be a half hour, the next spot, huh?

Thank you.

I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.

When we do these TV commercials...

Yes, that's all right...

And you really gotta drive it in.

It's not like something where you go out and just talk.

You gotta sell these cars.

And you'd be surprised how many people recognize me.

They think I'm a TV star or something.

But all I am is a used car salesman.

Now this is the car you have picked out.

Is that right, Miss Goodman?

Yes, that's right... May I tell you,

You are a very lucky girl.

You will love this car, and drive with the roof down.

And have you ever driven in California before?

Ah, yes... uh... no, I... You have?

Well then, listen to me, because California drivers

Are just like maniacs.

Look out for those sports cars, they come zoomin' by...

You'll never even know they're there.

Now, you have my personal check.

Can I sign this please? Yes, ma'am,

If you'll just sign here.

Miss Goodman.

That's it, that makes it a consummated deal.

Yes, thank you.

Have a nice time and enjoy yourself.

I'll put the sticker on and you can drive away.

Oh, um... Yes.

Well, ah...

Well, there you are, Miss Goodman,

You are all set.

Any trouble at all, don't forget,

You contact me and not the mechanic.

Yes, of course, tha...

Oh, uh, could you tell me the quickest way

To the Beverly Hilton?

Beverly Hilton?

Is, uh, is that where

You're gonna be staying, Miss Goodman,

At the Beverly Hilton?

(Engine starts) Just askin'...

Just askin'.

This is a very good attaché case

In top grain cow hide.

That's the one I want.

Fine.

The price is $65.

Will that be cash or charge?

Cash.

I can have this monogrammed right away.

Of course.

May I have your name please?

Lawrence Martin.

Middle initial?

Just L-M.

So, either we begin pouring concrete at 8:00 Monday morning,

Or we're liable for penalties.

$40,000 a day, gentlemen.

The councilman's committee is public service, Lou.

Your problem's with the building code.

Pouring delays have put us behind schedule a month.

Now, 31 days at 40,000 per,

That's a million and a quarter down the drain.

Now, we went over the city charter,

No attorneys, just Miss Connelly and myself,

But we found something I think that, uh, might interest you.

Section three, paragraph 7A.

That's the section on condemnation procedure.

You're not suggesting that 300 feet of public street

Be condemned?

Now, according to City Charter,

It's the council's duty to condemn.

When it's in the public interest.

Exactly!

But how do you consider this the public interest?

Mr. Murphy raises a very interesting point.

Worthy of consideration.

(Lou) Thank you very much, Mr. Councilman.

That's all we ask.

Can't tell you how much we appreciate

You taking time off from a very busy schedule.

That's what we're here for.

Uh, can I buy you a drink before you leave?

No, thanks, I don't think so.

Good day, Miss Connelly.

I have an appointment at the office.

Did you hear the story about the Democrat and Republican,

Went to the Turkish bath,

And the rubber had cold hands...

(Laughing)

(Elevator door closes)

You think it's all set, Lou?

Honey, if there's one thing that old hack knows is that

He couldn't get elected dog catcher

Without Santangelo.

Can hardly find campaign contributions

All cash, undeclared, unrecorded anymore.

That reminds me,

What were those calls from Vince today?

Some fishing expedition,

He thinks the man from Rome is behind it.

Colini? It's nothing.

The way I put old Cool out, he'll stay out.

But Vince never calls unless he's worried about something.

He's getting old.

They all are.

Except you,

You old goat.

(Mixed chatter)

Peter, you're well named,

The angel of mercy himself.

Thank you, Mr. Murphy.

As the drunk said, you don't eat the stems?

They're the best part. Ha, ha, ha, ha!

Now, here's another sinner needing your help.

Snatch a little salvation, my boy, while you can,

You understand? Thank you.

What'll it be?

A martini please.

Ah, such small time for wee pleasures.

The little lady's waitin' in the station wagon.

Here you are, Peter,

Get yourself a woman.

Thank you, Mr. Murphy.

Oh, thank you, my boy, very nice of you.

You married? No.

Ha-ha, play it smart.

Keep charging.

(Laughing)

(Mixed chatter)

Hey, hey look.

I'm sorry.

I gave you the wrong briefcase by mistake,

You've got mine.

Oh, no, no, no, son, this is mine.

You see, it's got my initials on it.

L-M.

Those are my initials, too.

Yeah, well, that's coincidence, but I'm sure this is mine,

I can tell, you know... Ah, you're wrong,

I'm tellin' ya.

Look, let me open mine, I'll show you.

Yeah, but you better hurry, Idon't wanna miss that train.

The little lady with the station wagon,

The martinis'll get hot,

And then... (shot rings out)

Ooh!

(Ringing)

(Johnny) Dare?

Johnny, where are you?

I'm at Idlewild now, I'm leaving in a few minutes.

The car is a 1957

Two tone Ford convertible.

It's parked on the roof level of the garage

At the Hilton Hotel.

(Johnny) Fine.

What happened? Everything went all right.

The camera and everything you need

Is on the front seat of the car.

When you get here, will you come up?

I'll come up if I have time.

Johnny, what happened?

You'll read about it.

Senore Virgo, Senore Virgo.

(Both speaking Italian)

(Man) To be called away from Rome

Without time to invent a proper excuse for Colini.

My army commission,

My whole position there could be ruined.

Your position...

Was given you not so you could grow rich,

You had a job.

Tell us about Colini, how is he?

How's an old man?

He lives on his hill.

Like a retired Caesar.

And every day, has his vitamin

And hormone injection to make him young.

And every night there is a new girl.

Never is the same one.

And how about this young man he sent.

What young man?

I know nothing about any young man.

We will see.

**

(Car engine starts)

**

* (big band music) *

Hello?

Oby Hinds please.

(Woman) I warn you, Mr. Hinds,

If you don't open that door

And let me out of here this instant, I'll...

You'll what?

I don't think you quite realize

Whom you're dealing with, Mr. Hinds.

Oh, I think I do.

Margaret Huntington,

Santa Barbara, right?

(Phone ringing)

Quite right.

I've got here, four checks totaling $1250.

Signed "Margaret Huntington."

They're no good! That's impossible.

There must be some mistake.

Yeah.

It's for you, Mr. Hinds.

Hello, what is it?

Where from?

(Man) From Rome.

From Johnny Colini.

I've got to talk to you and Ben Morrow.

Colini wants to make a deal.

There's nothing to talk about.

I think you're wrong, there's a lot to talk about.

Like what happened to Louie Murphy?

I'll get Ben.

Uh, you come right up.

Well, you better make it about 15 minutes,

I'm calling from downtown.

It'll take me that long to get to your joint.

All right.

There's someone comin' up to see me in about 15 minutes.

I don't know who it is,

So check him good at the elevator.

Yes, Sir.

I can make those checks good.

Yes, I think you can.

All right.

I have some jewelry in my room.

It's beautiful glass.

And that Jaguar you've got parked out there

Is rented.

I hate grifters.

They live in your rooms, they eat your food,

They buck your tables

And then they don't pay!

Well, you're gonna make those checks good.

2,000 in 100s.

No 50s.

2,000 right in 100s.

300 in 20s.

Mr. Morrow, Mr. Hinds would like to see you

In his suite as soon as you can please?

Just a few minutes.

Thanks, Pete.

300 is right in 20s.

(Mixed chatter)

(Big band music)

Come on, dice.

Come on, dice!

That's it, I'm through.

I'm a born loser and I know it,

So I'm goin' home.

Hold it, pal.

I'm a winner and I'm poppin' for a couple of belts.

I'll never say no to that!

And look at these two chicks.

We're not gonna let 'em go to waste.

How 'bout a couple of drinks?

Well, that sounds like a pretty good idea.

(Betting chatter)

You sit right over here,

And you sit right over here.

I'll take the blonde,

The brunette reminds me of my wife.

All right, what'll it be?

Hi, Ben. Mike Singer,

Remember?

Yeah, yeah, sure, Mike, how are ya?

From the old days in Detroit.

Yeah, yeah, how's it goin'?

Well, not so good.

You know.

No, no, Ben, this is no touch.

I just wanted to say hello.

Yeah, I understand.

I appreciate it.

Forget it, I'll see ya.

Thanks, Ben.

There's one of the sweetest guys

You ever wanna meet.

You know, the bum is right.

They don't make 'em like Ben Morrow anymore.

I'll be back before you finish these.

And hurry.

I left my money at the crap table.

Are you the gentleman who's come to see Mr. Hinds?

That's me.

There's a special pocket on the inside of my jacket

On the left hand side.

Permit's in my wallet.

I'm sorry, but I have to keep this anyway.

You can pick it up at the desk on the way out.

Anything you say.

Can I go in now? Yes.

Mr. Hinds is expecting you.

Checked him out and he's okay.

Thank you, Pete.

(Laughing)

Don't you trust your own security men?

They just went over me outside.

Oby, please, we just wanna talk.

Go ahead, talk.

Not this way.

Stand still, you.

There's no need for trouble.

Let's find out who this gentleman is?

Then, if necessary, we can call the police.

What's your name, boy?

Johnny Colini.

You hear that, Ben?

This is the one we got the call about.

The new Johnny Cool.

Why are you here?

What do you want?

What you took from Colini.

What we took?

Stand aside, Ben.

All right,

I'll give it to you for him.

Both barrels right in the belly.

Oby, no!

Ow!

I've tried to live in such a way that no man

Could have reason to hate me.

I know, I've heard all about what a saint you are.

No, I done plenty wrong.

But I've tried to make up for it.

How do you make up for informing?

Oh, so that's it.

Vendetta.

He told you I betrayed him so I could steal.

Colini lied.

(Speaking Italian)

You lie.

Johnny Cool.

He gave you his name.

Did he also tell you you would be his son?

Me, he told I would be his brother.

But in the 20 years, all he did was use me,

Like he's using you now.

You were only his delivery boy.

Domestico mensageiro da morte.

And when you're finished killing for him,

He will pay you as he is paying me now.

I won't be alive to pay off,

But I lay you even money I'm right.

And I'll give you a price

On how long before he gets you.

Six to Five... Three days.

(Shot rings out)

Domestico mensageiro da morte.

(Screaming)

Hi, we all set to leave?

Any minute, sport.

How'd ya do? I got some wonderful pictures.

Did you win any money?

I don't gamble and it's against my religion.

Oh, I wish it was against mine.

I wouldn't have to push this bus.

(Chuckling)

Get in the end of the line.

I could buy this bus!

Boy, I murdered 'em here.

How did you do?

I did all right.

Hold it, Larry, hold it!

Hey, what's wrong?

I got my usual line of chickens here.

Well, somebody really rocked the town.

Yeah?

Yeah, got Oby Hinds and Ben Morrow.

Well, when you gotta go, you gotta go.

Yeah, well, I'll have to check out your people.

Are you kiddin'?

Larry, those are my orders.

Now don't kibitz, we're not playing poker.

I'm not kibitzing.

Get a load of that line.

I'm used to farmers and hay seeds,

But these guys take the cake.

Get a load of Charlie Camera over there.

He don't gamble.

He's got religion.

Frisk him,

Maybe you'll come up with a bible.

And while you're at it,

Search that Indian.

Oh.

Well, I'm very sorry folks, but it's a necessary delay.

But...

You!

Is that a Nikon? It's something like it,

Except for the range finder.

You know, it looks just like a Nikon.

Everybody's imitatin' everybody.

You,

You're too good to be true.

Come here. Wait a minute...

Never mind, Cowboy, I wanna talk to you.

Now just come along now, don't give me any trouble.

Larry, take the rest of the good people home.

They all look a little bushed.

Yeah, we're tired.

Will you get in there, please?

How ya been?

Now those things happen, you can't help it, ya know.

Hiya, kid, you're lookin' great.

Hi, ma'am.

Oh, pop, you're fine, you're good,

You're in great shape.

You got...

(Speaking gibberish)

That's it, yeah, okay?

You all set?

Everybody all set?

All right, here we go.

(Man gasping)

No, don't leave me.

Don't leave me!

No!

Don't leave me alone!

No!

Don't leave me alone!

All right, all right.

All right.

It's Giordano, Giordano.

He is Giordano!

Johnny!

I dreamed,

I dreamed you wouldn't be back.

I dreamed they killed you.

Listen to me!

When I saw you down there last night

And you didn't come up,

I died...

All night waiting.

I didn't know I could even think such things.

Johnny, it doesn't matter what you do,

Nothing's real anymore except you.

Do you understand?!

What is it!

What's the matter!

I've got to go away.

Well, I'll get dressed.

It won't take me a minute. No, I'm going alone.

Where?! Mexico.

And then back to Sicily.

Johnny, you didn't hear me.

You can't leave me.

I'm nothing without you!

We are both nothing.

Tell me what happened.

Tell me!

Domestico mensageiro da morte.

Less than nothing.

That's what he called me when I killed him.

What does it mean?

Colini's delivery boy of death.

It doesn't matter what he said!

You should've seen what he looked like when he died.

I believe him.

Colini lied, he used me!

All he wanted was for me to do for him

What he couldn't do for himself!

Johnny, you have to take me with you.

I was Giordano!

I go back to Sicily.

In Sicily,

Giordano is dead!

Running there is not gonna bring him back to life.

Here, be Giordano here!

What the hell do you know about anything!

Intelligence is not confined to men!

Three days ago, my life was concerned

With getting to the beauty parlor on time.

Getting my laundry ready for the cleaners.

Making my mind up about a new shade of lipstick.

Well, there was something hidden deep in me

That I didn't even know existed.

Whatever it was, you freed it,

And now my life is yours.

And I'm telling you, Giordano,

That you've got to finish what you started!

Not for the man in Rome,

But for yourself!

Johnny Cool is a name!

Giordano is a man.

Be Giordano again.

Do what he would do.

Why not?

Why not?

Johnny,

I need you.

I need you right now.

Giordano we'll find,

But they'll always be another Giordano.

A different face, a different name, huh?

The only way to make sure that the thing ends

Is to dispose of the principal.

That's impossible.

I was in Rome last year.

Colini's villa is like Fort Knox.

Anything can be done!

Three men a day,

And the decision is very, very clear.

The man in Rome dies, or we die.

All right,

Let Colini be warned.

He knows the rule,

Let's see if he takes the warning.

(Speaking Italian)

(Speaking Italian)

You know what it means to be very rich?

(Speaking Italian)

Uh-uh.

(Both speaking Italian)

Senore, Colini.

(Speaking Italian)

(Speaking Italian)

Senore Santangelo.

Hello, Vince.

How are you, how's the family?

Hey, Johnny, I haven't got too much time to talk to ya.

I gotta get out to Vegas.

Morrow and Hinds, you know.

Yeah, I know.

You heard about poor Louis?

(Colini) I can't understand what's happening there.

Ben didn't have an enemy in the world.

Well, that young man from Sicily,

You know, the one who's dead?

Well, Johnny, he's here!

And he says that you sent him.

Me? No.

We thought that you could tell us, uh,

What the young man wanted, Johnny?

How, Vince?

I'm here.

How would I know?

We're meeting, Johnny, and, uh,

We've decided that this can't go on.

Of course, Vince, I agree.

Do what you have to and right away.

You understand we had to check with you first.

I understand everything you're not saying, Vince.

By the way, Vince,

Give my best to Virgo, eh?

Yeah.

You heard him?

Now are you sure?

First, Giordano.

I checked a suitcase a couple of months ago

In a hotel on Cahuenga.

We'll have to pick it up.

Johnny, about the car.

You know I had to use my own license to rent it?

I told you it doesn't matter.

We'll be back in New York when it happens.

The FBI's been checking, but so far, that's all we know.

What you see is a group of interlocking corporations.

Garment manufacturing, construction, oil,

Soft drink distribution, vending machines,

Import export,

And metal processing.

The Attorney General's Office

Has been watching this complex grow

Since the end of World War II, but so far,

That's all that we've been able to do... watch.

The corporate and tax structure

Is a model of legitimacy.

But now, with these murders, Louis Murphy in New York,

Oscar B. Hinds

And Benjamin Morrow here in Las Vegas

Is the break we've been waiting for.

It means, gentlemen, the war's broken out.

A war for the control

Of syndicate dominated legitimate business.

And the General directing the attack is the one we want.

He goes by the interesting and familiar name

Of Johnny Colini, or Johnny Cool.

The individual described, we find no fingerprints on file,

No draft registration,

No record of previous military service,

No record of arrests.

No hunting, fishing, driver's license issued ever.

No social security number.

Maybe there's no such man?

There is and he's not alone.

Well, that's all we have, gentlemen.

Not a hell of a lot,

But we've gotta find Johnny Cool.

You drive.

Why upside down?

The dynamite in the suitcase would take out half the block

If opened right side up by the wrong person.

It's 3:00 now,

14 hours will make it 5:00 in the morning.

When it goes off, we'll be in New York

Having an 8:00 breakfast at Reuben's.

What's he like, Johnny?

Among other things, he's in the oil business.

That's all I know.

You ever seen him?

We got two miles to go to Sunset.

I'll tell you when to turn. What's his name?

What difference does it make?

Crandall, Leonard Crandall, okay?

Why don't you try telling the truth, just once?

You know you came out because you thought I wasn't home.

Len, I swear to you

All I wanted was to see the children for a half an hour.

But you have no visiting privileges,

Except those the court designated.

Oh, Len, please.

Now look.

You were supposed to have them all of August.

Now, it's not my fault you were in Madrid.

Oh, incidentally, how did the picture go?

There was no picture, you know that.

Well, that's too bad.

However, that's show business as you people say.

Oh, is that what it is?

Don't you think I know all about your oil interests over there?

Len,

I want my children.

Well, they're mine, too.

Or do I presume too much?

Len.

They need their mother.

Fortunately, the court decided

That their mother was unfit.

Yes, you arranged that very nicely, didn't you?

Yes, I did, didn't I?

(Car driving away)

Daddy, Daddy, is Mommy here?

Timmy said he heard Mommy!

I'm so sorry, Mr. Crandall.

It's all right, Miss Stewart.

Well, you can see she isn't here.

Come on, boys, you'd better take your naps now.

That's quite all right, Miss Stewart.

Say, instead of a nap, boys, why don't we take a swim?

We'll go in the bathhouse and get your suits.

Come on...

Hey, boys, I'll go in the garage and get the boat, okay?

Come on, please!

You know how mad he gets.

Hurry up!

Come on, love, you're so tense.

We're just tourists looking at the view.

Over there, Beverly Hills, home of the movie stars.

And I'll plant it right down there

So that the cliff holds the blast in.

Tomorrow, they'll hear it clear back in that penthouse

In New York.

What if somebody sees you?

They won't.

Johnny, is that him?

Come on.

No, Johnny, not now.

Now is sure, later is maybe.

Drive up the canyon about a hundred yards.

Make a U-turn and come right back down to here.

Keep the motor running and leave it in drive.

Get in.

Get in!

(Lenard) Hurry up boys, I'm waiting!

Timmy, Bobby,

I want you out here right this minute!

We'll be right there!

Come on, boys, on the double!

(Buzzing)

Hey, Timmy, Bobby,

Come on, boys.

Get down!

(Tires squealing)

(Tires squealing)

Slow down.

More.

That's good.

Now just keep on like this until we get to Mulholland.

I'll get out there. You...

Watch the road!

Now listen.

I'll get a cab in front of the hotel.

You drive into Beverly Hills

And park the car for a few hours.

Where will I go, what'll I do?

Go shopping, get your hair done.

Don't bring the car back till after 5:00.

Check out of the hotel and take a cab to the airport.

Buy a ticket on the first flight to New York.

Johnny, please let me go with you.

I'm afraid to be alone.

I'll meet you at the Real Tony's tomorrow, 7:00.

(Sirens blaring) Please, Johnny!

Pull over and stop!

Not here!

At the corner!

(Siren blaring)

I'm sorry, Johnny.

It's all right.

Tomorrow night, 7:00, the Real Tony's.

**

Oh, dear, that wouldn't work out

If you want a manicure.

Well, that'd be perfect.

Okay, all right, Miss Johnson, thank you.

Yes, may I help you?

Ah, yes, please, my hair, shampoo and set.

Oh, the name please?

You do have an appointment?

No.

Oh, well, the earliest we could take you...

Oh, well, no, no, it's not important.

Thank you, thank you very much.

(Woman) Dare!

Dare Guiness!

Suzie.

Well, isn't this marvelous.

When did you get into town?

No one said anything about your coming.

Is anything the matter?

Uh, no, uh, just tired I guess.

I just got in this morning.

Hey that makes it perfect, you can drive back to Newport

With me this afternoon.

Well, it all sounds wonderful,

But I can't. Oh, why not?

Bill's got the boat down there,

The whole crowd's gonna come down for the weekend.

Tess, and Rory and The Burfords.

Can't you postpone whatever it is...

I told you, Suzie!

It's impossible!

I can't!

Okay.

We'll be back in town on Monday.

Will you call?

Yes.

Would you like me to make an appointment...

No!

No, uh, thank you, thank you very much.

Bye-bye, Suzie.

Bye, Dare.

The same time next week?

Can I give you a lift?

You still want me to go?

To Newport?

Yeah.

Bill will be so surprised.

Come on, my car's right down here.

I have a confirmed reservation to New York

On flight 8-18.

The name is Johnson.

It's in will-call.

Oh, here we are, Mr. Johnson.

They're boarding at area 75.

You'd better hurry.

Thank you.

I'll phone and tell them you're on your way.

* I been thinkin' about you *

* Bee-bom, bee-bom, bee-bom *

* Somethin's swingin' about you *

* Bee-bom, bee-bom, bee-bom *

* I'd like to fly away with you *

* Ooh bee-bom *

* Sweet talkin' all the way with you *

* Bee-bom, bee-bom, bee-bom *

* Now you've got lips as sweet as honey *

* And I know what to do *

* Knockin' me down and take my money *

* If I never get to kissin' you... *

She sure isn't feeling any pain.

Did she tell ya anything? Not a word.

(Squealing)

Dare, honey, it's time to twist with me.

Ah, well, you play it again and I will.

Ooh, oh, oh, oh watch it...

A most attractive man over there's

Just asked me to dance, and I just may oblige,

As soon as he recharges the record.

Well, now don't you think we should sit and talk?

We haven't a chance to...

Whoo, Billy Boy, Billy Boy,

Charming, Billy.

I've got nothing to say...

Except being here with you has saved my life.

And that's the truth, believe it or not.

Come on, honey, let's twist!

I'm gone!

* Well, now I finally found you *

* Bee-bom, bee-bom, bee-bom *

* I'll be buzzin' all around you *

* Bee-bom, bee-bom, bee-bom *

* You make my heart to flutter most *

* Mmm bee-bom *

* You are the envy of the most *

* Bee-bom, bee-bom, bee-bom **

I've got a rented 1961 gray Ford convertible

That answers the description on the want urgent.

Under the front seat I found uh...

Well, I don't know exactly how to describe it,

But it looks like some kind of explosive device.

(Machinery humming)

Hi, we all set?

If the building public relation man hadn't already okayed this,

I couldn't go for it.

How long you gonna be up there?

I don't know, it depends on the light.

Well, if it could wait till tomorrow morning,

I'd have a man free, he can go up with you?

I wish I could, but I got a deadline.

You'll have to sign this release.

This clears the building of responsibility

In case of accident.

Say, would I be disturbing anyone?

Oh no, no the windows are all sealed.

The offices are completely sound proof.

Good.

Can I take that freight elevator up?

Sure.

Thank you.

**

He'll come, he said he would.

He said!

What is he, a boy scout?!

Always keeps his word?!

This one is Patzo,

But he's done everything he's said, Vince,

He was at the bank right on the minute.

Four men dead,

All in one day.

One man who walked in the sight of a thousand people,

He's dead.

Two men who waited to kill this Johnny Cool,

They're dead.

And another man died

In the privacy of his swimming pool.

Get out, ah.

What can he do to me in here?

(Man) Age, 27, height 5 feet 6,

Weight 117.

Color of the hair is light brown,

Color of eyes, blue.

The description is from a New York driver's license

Issued in the name of Dare Guiness.

The spelling on that is D-A-R-E, G-U-I-N-E double S.

(Organ music playing)

There will be no more 24 hour waiting periods.

The time for you to choose is right now.

Either you act with sense, or wherever you go,

Wherever you hide,

My people will find each one of you.

Like they found Murphy, Hinds, Morrow,

Crandall, Santangelo.

Tell us... What do you want of us?

What's mine, what I've taken.

But you are Colini's man.

If we let you keep for yourself what he sent you to get for him,

There will never be peace as long as he lives.

With one phone call, he dies.

Tomorrow, when the Great Colini gets his usual injection

Of hormones,

There will be a bubble of air in the needle.

And when that bubble reaches his heart,

He will die, peacefully, quietly.

(Boat horn sounding)

Hi there.

Anybody out here?

Ooh, it's alive.

Oh, well, just barely.

Look here, have this.

Bill made it this morning for everybody.

Guaranteed to bring you back among the living.

Yeah, sure it is.

That's a rather fetching outfit.

I'll get you some clothes.

Suzie?

Was I awful last night?

No, it's good for you to unwind.

What did I say?

Nothing, darling.

Be patient with me, huh, baby?

You're the first sane people I've been with in...

My God, can it only be three days?

Dare, if you're in any kind of trouble,

Please let us help you.

Pair of shorts be okay?

Isn't that terrible?

You wonder what kind of person could do a thing like that.

It's sick.

It's a miracle those little boys weren't killed.

What little boys?

These little boys, right here.

I didn't see any little...

Dare?

Dare, what's wrong?

Insane, isn't it?

Dare Guiness.

Suzie?

D... do you have any idea

What goes on out there?

Well, you couldn't!

Underworld.

I always thought it was a word for the movies.

Well, it's not, it exists.

Right out there, just below what you can see.

A whole world full of monsters.

Dare, I don't know what

You're talking about.

I met a man,

Three days ago,

I was with him

10 hours, maybe.

I had just left him

After he killed Crandall

When I ran into you yesterday.

I drove him up the hill

With the dynamite,

And now the police have the car.

I'm gonna get Bill. No!

Bill will know what to do.

Maybe.

If it weren't for him,

There isn't anything anyone can do.

When he wants to, he'll find me.

Not that I

Really want him to.

It's just that I know

That if he walked through that door right now,

I'd want him so badly, I'd crawl to him.

I'm gonna get Bill.

(Female voice) Operator, may I help you?

Hello, operator?

Yes.

I'd like to call New York.

Long distance.

Person-to-person to Mr. Louis Murphy.

Yes, I... I know Mr. Murphy is deceased.

To whom am I speaking?

This is Miss Connolly.

I was Mr. Murphy's personal secretary.

All right.

If you want the man who killed him,

He'll be in a restaurant called The Real Tony's

At 7:00 tomorrow night.

The Real Tony's?

And tell them he'll be alone.

Who is this?

He's always been alone.

Please, please, who is this?

Hello!

How long, Mr. Cool?

Not long, wait for me.

Good evening, Mr. Cool.

Evening, Mr. Cool.

The young lady's waiting in the bar.

Thank you.

Put some champagne on ice.

The best you've got.

(Siren blaring)

(Tires screeching)

For this you'll die!

Every one of you!

In 24 hours, my men will kill you!

You have no men, Giordano.

You are alone.

I have an army out there!

Yes,

An army of ghosts.

We know...

The same way we knew where to find you.

Your woman told us.

You will not die.

We have special plans for you.

I'm the only one left who knows it all,

Without me you can do nothing!

True,

But you will tell us.

I will tell you nothing!

I'm Giordano!

You will tell us.

It will take time,

But there is a way even for, Giordano.

Poor Virgo.

A city man, weak,

But you're strong.

I will tell you nothing!

We'll lock you up here in the morgue

Without food or water.

And we'll beat you hard, day after day.

And when you're hungry enough to eat even goat droppings,

We'll give you salt fish.

When you're met with thirst,

We will give you wine.

Sweet wine.

A drop of wine for each

Word of truth.

Then you will tell us.

And then you will join the living dead.

(Yelling)

(Mixed chatter)

(Man) A little cocktail never hurt anybody.

Well, looks like we have company.

A police car just drove up.

Now we know what we're going to say.

You've been with us for the past four days.

Now let me do all the talking.

Drink up, drink up.

Yes, Sir?

Mr. Blakely? That's right.

What can I do for ya?

I'd like to see a Dare Guiness.

Miss Guiness is aboard.

Why, what's this all about?

Well, seems she rented a car yesterday, and she...

Oh, yes, she told me about that.

Well, you see, she met my wife

In the beauty parlor in Beverly Hills,

And they came right down here,

And she left the car parked at the beauty parlor.

It must have seven tickets on it by now.

Well, it seems that car was involved in the killing

Of Leonard Crandall yesterday in Beverly Hills.

Oh, well, that's terrible!

It must have been stolen.

Probably,

But I would like to talk to Miss Guiness

About a certain Johnny Colini

Or Johnny Cool.

Johnny Colini, no I...

Bill?

It's no use, Bill.

The man you're looking for, he's dead.

I killed him.

I think you better come with us.

We'll wait while you change your clothes.

No.

Let's go now.

**

* One day they caught up with Johnny Cool *

**

* Just like they promised *

* They would *

**

* They left real fear of death *

* In him *

**

* And some breath in him *

* They beat him till he *

* Understood *

* He paid for his evil ways *

* But good *

* And so ends the story *

* Of a fool *

* Johnny Cool *

* The fool that was known *

* As Johnny *

* Cool **
