Don't go to bed with no price on your head.

No, no.

Don't do it. Don't do it.

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

Yeah.

Don't do it.

And keep your eyes.

Where can I go where the cold winds don't blow now?

Well, well, well, well, well.

Hey, kid, come here.

Somebody grab that boy. Get him out of here.

Hey, you see a kid come in here? He's under that table. Get him out of here.

If a cop come in here...

I'd lose my license, I'd get pinched. All right.

Get him out. I got you now, you little rat.

You don't rent me in the streets, but this is my turf.

Get him out of here, or we're gonna win out! He's throwing my game! Somebody

stop him!

Now I'm the heat, kid, and I'm gonna get you.

Nobody ever does nothing wrong in this world.

Where's that stash?

Oh, I remember.

Same way we used to do it, huh?

There you go.

Look at that.

Look at that trash.

Oh, the big shot is here.

Hey, that bird. I'm gonna cook that bird. Did you get my hat?

You over there with that pigeon on Third Street? Look at this.

What do you steal garbage like that for? It's bad for your belly, don't you know

that?

What am I gonna do with you?

Huh? What am I gonna do with you?

Here.

Here's five bucks.

I want you to go back to that supermarket and pay for what you stole.

You hear me?

Then buy yourself something good to eat and go on home. And tell your mother I

want to see her and you.

at the 53rd precinct my name's beretta i remember i can catch you again i'm

faster than you you gonna be there

get out of here

they get younger all the time don't they

fret

Five dollars to play tag, huh?

You raise that to a 20, I'll tell the ladies to put on their tennis shoes.

You got some business?

I ain't come down here to catch crud.

Say, my good man, you mind letting the ladies have your seat?

Really appreciate that, brother. Thank you much.

Uh, my good man.

Champagne. What vintage?

39. 39 cents or 39 years?

This cat a comedian, man?

Stop, turkey.

People tell me I talk too much, but I'll tell you something. The only thing to

make the rooster crow is survival.

Tell me something I don't know.

Well, I got this young broad I've been tricking, you know, teaching her the

ropes. Faye Broad?

New chick?

Ginger. Ginger Corelli.

Yeah?

Well, the other day I'm listening, and she's rapping with one of my ladies

about busting her old man out the joint, a cat named Jimmy Turner.

Wait a minute.

He's a kid. Is she a young broad?

Yeah, he's a kid. I put him away about a year ago at the Honor Farm.

What's her name, Ginger?

Ginger Corelli. What's her address?

512 Broad Street.

How come you're being so generous here?

Well, the other day she went out and bought herself a piece.

Something bigger than what she can handle.

I don't want to see the chick get her head blown off, man.

Number two, if she goes down, she just might implicate the rooster.

Implicated, huh? Using fancy words now, huh?

Listen, man, uh, the chick packing a piece, huh? I know.

I'll check her out.

And, uh, thanks for the freebie.

Ain't no freebie, bro.

Like I said, survival.

Good to know. Thank you. Hello.

Fats? Is that you or you sound funny?

Uh, listen, man.

I want you to run a check on a guy out at the Mohawk Honor Farm.

Wait a minute, I'm eating. You're beating?

You're beating who?

Eating, eating.

Oh, you're eating.

Terrific. I'm glad to hear that.

The guy's name is Jimmy Turner.

Yeah, I put him up there about a year ago. Just check, see if he's still

there. If he busted out, if he's dead, what's going on with him? Got you, boss.

Tell the boss I'm going over and check Turner's girlfriend's pad, and I'll give

him a call from there.

Yeah, man, yeah.

Yeah. Listen, man, you're hard enough to understand with your mouth empty.

I'll see you later.

You're no Scottish boy.

When we pull this thing off, you want to stick with me.

Chico can make you rich.

After I fly that plane to Canada, I never want to see any of you guys again.

You just better know how to fly that plane.

What is that up ahead?

You better pull up.

I'll go take a look.

Listen.

Mister, I never held a gun before in my life.

But so help me, I'll kill you as soon as my boyfriend's hand goes down.

You better tell her to open this gate, Carver!

Open it!

Hey, good snake, get the rest of these snot cups in the back there.

I got it.

Go ahead, Barretta. What is it?

What'd they get on that Jimmy Turner kid?

Oh, well, he's been in the honor farm for about a year now, and he's being

bussed in today along with some other kids for a preliminary hearing on his

retrial. Oh, boy.

We got trouble.

I met his chick's pad, and she cleared out for good, and that's for sure.

Call the honor farm.

Tell them, don't let that bus go. Shake the bus down, all those kids, and hold

them there. And if the bus is gone already, then call the highway patrol

and everybody else. Tell them to find that bus and do the same thing. Beretta,

I'm way ahead of you. It's for you. You get on your horse right now.

I'll see you later, man.

Unit 675 on Logan Highway standing by with roadblock.

Your location?

A one-half mile south of marker 3, opposite the Logan power plant.

This is Beretta 609 on code 2.

Patch me through to the 53rd, Lieutenant Brubaker.

Never mind that patch through. Just get in touch with him. Tell him to get to

the scene of that roadblock as quick as he can. I'm clear.

He's going in the roadblock. Move it over there.

Look, Chico, there's got to be another way out of here.

Hey, there ain't no way out of here except straight up.

We stick to the plan.

They got us a helicopter to take us out of here.

Don't worry about a thing, lady. When the time comes up, take care of us.

You already did.

Shut up, screw!

Look,

Chico, you don't need a helicopter.

If we get a small enough plane, I can fly us out of here.

Hey, now you're talking like a con, college boy.

Officer, take a forward position with that tear gas and then wait for my

instructions. Boss, boss, wait a minute, man. Those are just punk kids in there.

They're more scared than they are tough.

Believe me, the way to handle this thing is to talk them out. Look, Beretta, will

you hold your water?

Those kids in there got guns and they know how to use them. If that motor cop

hadn't been lucky, he'd be on a slab now.

The deputy commissioner's coming right behind me. Oh, that's terrific.

Rebecca, any material change in the situation?

No, sir, there's not. The kids are still inside.

They got two hostages, they got two weapons, and they haven't made any

effort to make contact with us. That's my point, boss. In my judgment, it's us

who should be making the effort to make the contact.

Shh.

Tony, Tony, look, I don't care about your judgment. You are not running the

operation. Go take a walk, will you?

Look, punk, you said you wanted to go out. Now you're going to go out, and

you're going to tell them just what I told you.

They take a plane here, and they get it here fast.

Or we start throwing our dead bodies.

And the girl goes first.

Hey, Chico, there's a whole load of SWAT mothers that just got here.

Hey, Chico, I ain't going out there.

I don't care if they kill me.

We'll have to go crazy and start shooting again.

He's the one that's crazy.

They'll let any one of you to want to surrender.

Hey, you and me got business, baby.

Jimmy, let's walk out of here.

Back to what?

You know, we're gonna get it in the ringer if we can't finish this thing up

in a hurry before the commissioner sends that SWAT team in.

Trust me, boss. I know this kid. He's a college student. He don't know a gun

from a fountain pen.

You think you know your man, huh, Beretta?

Give it your best shot.

He helped you once before. Wait a minute.

Please, honey.

Get us away from these people.

I know it's right.

Okay.

Just remember to bring back that plane.

Or don't bother to come back at all.

I bet you I'll kill you.

Watch that guy boss. He wants to notch his gun.

You be careful. I'm cool

Take it easy now.

I ain't going no further.

Come on out now and talk to me.

Just take it easy now. Don't pay no attention to them people. It's okay.

Attaboy.

Come on.

Hey, Jimmy.

What the hell is going on with you? What are you doing in this mess for?

I want a plane. I want a plane that's small enough to land here.

Sure, and I'll bring you a tugboat and a rubber duck.

I just came here to talk to you.

You already burnt me once, Beretta.

Wait a minute, wait a minute. You burned yourself. I'm the one that bailed you

out, remember?

I burnt myself?

Yeah.

A cop tries to split open my skull with a stick, and I fight back, and you throw

me in the slammer. Let's try to remember the thing the way it happened.

You were a college kid. You got involved in one of them, uh, demonstrations.

You bopped a cop over the head. I did my job.

But I promised you I'd go to bat for you, and I did, remember?

Kid like you, you should have did a year on the honor farm standing on your head.

How do you wind up like this?

You know what happened to me in that honor farm?

I was gang raped.

I'm a jailbird, Beretta.

What, do you think I can go back to college after this and live happily ever

after?

I'm sorry about that, pal.

Honest to God, I'm sorry about that. I don't run the prison systems.

But I'm telling you...

The big joint is 20 times worse, and that's where you're headed if you don't

clean this thing up right now.

I'll tell you where I'm going, Beretta.

I'm going out of this country. I'm getting away from you, your lousy prison

systems.

I want the plane here in one hour. All right, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait a

minute. Okay.

I promise you I ain't gonna try to talk you out of it. Come on.

I'll make a deal with you.

You let one of the hostages out now, and then...

I'll get the plane in here, you let the rest of the troops out, and you're on

your way. Now think about it.

No, nobody comes out until we're up in the air. Then you can come in and get

them.

Now wait a minute, Jimmy.

Jimmy, you're being silly, man. If you don't care about yourself, how about

your girl? She's gonna die, man!

You hear me?

Well, we're done, cottage boy.

When are we taking off?

I think it's going to be okay.

They want one hostage now and one later.

So let's send the lady cop out.

The cop is jiving you.

How do you know?

Because they're all the same.

He wants something to go out that door?

Let's send out a dead body.

Do what the cop says, Jimmy. Do what he says.

You and I ain't in this thing together anyway.

Now, I went out and made a deal. I'm sending her out. You make your own

deals.

Okay, college boy.

Hey, you got all the brains.

Let a Chicano show you just how dumb you are.

Come on, Tony, you just told me. He said no dice.

I know what you're saying, boss, but I think I got him foxed. He's playing it

tough, but he's scared. He's gonna come up with that one hostage.

What do you think about the playing, Commissioner?

All right, I'll work on it. But let's get one thing straight.

That plane doesn't leave here until both those hostages are in our hands, safe.

Yes, sir. I understand.

Sorry, pal.

Looks like you're gonna have to wait for the next war.

Attaboy, Jimmy!

You kept your end of it, I'm gonna keep mine.

You two inmates, step away from the officer and let her come forward.

You want to surrender, lay down flat.

I repeat, let the officer come forward.

Something's wrong, boss. They got their signals crossed. I'm going to go out

there and check on it. I won't be responsible if that detective gets

caught in the line of fire.

You ain't responsible for much anyway, pal. Look, Tony, Tony, this is not...

Boss, they could have shot me 19 times by now. I was out there standing there.

Everything's okay. There's something wrong. I'm going to go out and check on

it. Okay?

Send an officer out to talk this over. Hold your fire.

Hold your fire.

What's going on?

That ain't no chick. It's a guy. What is this?

Move, capo, and blow your brains out over that bus.

What's the situation, Tony?

Don't answer him, capo. You're dead.

It's a trap.

That's a con dressed as a decoy. That officer's in trouble.

SWAT team goes in at nightfall.

Well, looks like them gorillas are gonna earn their keep after all.

Yeah, it looks that way.

Got any ideas?

Not one.

You know, when I was a little whipper, I used to dance all around this place.

Ain't got nothing to do. I think I'll take me a little walk.

I never heard a thing.

Just watch yourself with the SWAT guys. They'll blow you away in a minute.

Be back by nightfall.

I'll be there.

Thank you.

Hey, you guys, it's Beretta.

I ain't got no peace.

I want to talk.

How do we do it?

Come out in the open where I can see you, screw.

Okay, now just stay cool. Here I come.

Hey, that's far enough.

Go get his peace.

He's still here in the same rat hole.

He's clean, Chico.

Go check out back where he came from. See if there are any more pigs there.

But now we got you, pig.

Yeah.

You got me.

I'm your meal ticket out of here.

So you're the big shot here, huh, I say?

Hey, Jimmy.

You messed up letting Zapata here blow your deal for you.

You know where you're sitting now?

The mayor gave the Marines out there orders to come in here before nightfall

and kill whoever they have to to wrap this deal up. Where does that leave her?

Where does that leave you, screw?

That leaves me right where I started, pal.

Trying to wrap this thing up without nobody getting killed. That's what they

pay me for.

They pay you to die, pig?

Yeah.

I'm gonna die.

Maybe we're all gonna die.

Unless you play it my way.

What's your way, Beretta?

I'll get you out of here the same way I came in.

Before them jamokes come pouring through that door.

Ain't that better than watching her die?

Man, just get us out of here.

Not so fast, pal.

I ain't played all my cards yet.

I'll let you out of here.

You let them people go, and whoever else wants to walk out of this door.

It doesn't happen, Chico.

We don't let nobody go.

What the hell's the difference? They're a bunch of dead weight anyway.

You want to take turns dragging the cop?

Chico, man, let's go for it. Once we get out of here, we can go on our own.

My girlfriend.

She comes with us.

No deal.

You're not trading me for you.

Nobody has anything to say about that except me. I'm staying.

I think she loves me.

Wait a minute. There ain't no time for talk like that. Just do what I ask you

to, please.

My man, she walks out of that door or the deal is off.

Then the deal is off.

Okay, copper.

The pig and the rest of these punks can stay while we roll.

Hey, Snake, how about you?

I'm going with you, Chico.

Okay.

You guys, you, come here.

After we're gone, you walk upstairs, put your hands on top of your head and tell

the cops you want to walk out, and wait.

Wait till they tell you what to do.

Let's go.

Come on, Zapata.

So far, Berettas has got half our hostages out here. There's nobody

killed. I'll put out an APB. The minute he surfaces, he'll get in touch with us.

Just let him play his hand out.

Okay, Brett, as soon as we catch our breath, you're going to show me your way

out of here.

I ain't showing you nothing, man.

You piece of garbage.

Don't want to dig, I'll get us out. Sure you will.

Go on, man, take off.

You think you're in the sewers?

Look up.

You seen your manhole covers?

You're three or four hundred feet under the city.

That disposal plant is sending these pipes under the city, and they stay here

all the way to the river.

Go on, take off.

They'll find you and your girlfriend a week later, dried up like a couple of

dead rats.

Can you be dead before then, you stinking pig?

You know something, Chico?

I was wrong about you.

Somebody took a bite out of you, they died.

Hold it.

I said I'd get you out, and I'll get you out.

Just stick with me.

I'll get you to the river. There's a thousand boats down there.

You stick me on one of them, I'm your meal ticket, and you're home free.

Drive, man!

I gotta figure out a way to slow these troops down.

Keeping folks alive, that's the name of the game.

Just like the story about the little Indians, right? We're down to six.

Ain't nobody dead yet.

I sure wish you wasn't here.

So do I.

But not without you.

Tough guy.

No.

Just as scared as you are.

Fair enough.

All right, you cowboys, you ready to go?

Let's roll.

What is it?

Jimmy, I can't move.

Chico, keep an eye on her. I want to check her out.

Oh, no!

That's the end of the line, college boy.

That chick ain't going any further.

Come on, big. Get us out of here.

Nobody ain't going nowhere until I get her on her feet. You understand me?

You're nuts, punk.

You're not going to shoot nobody.

You're just fine.

Come back.

You okay?

Okay, let's get out of here.

Move.

Hey, which way now, screw?

You got to go this way.

Hold it.

Ginger can't go on.

Then leave her here, punk, or we're all going to fall behind.

Wait just like I said, and we all go.

Them two dudes gonna kill each other.

Chico's always been crazy.

Well, what did it leave us?

Hey, listen, you guys.

Wait a minute. Hey, Jimmy.

I promised you.

Listen to me, partner.

I said I'd get everybody out of here, didn't I?

Let me take a look at that leg.

I'll fix it so she can walk again.

You keep the peace on me the whole time.

What do you got to lose?

We can go on now.

That way.

You two dudes run away out. Watch me. When I nod, you're home free.

No. I'm almost sure it ain't broke.

She couldn't be standing on it if it was broke. We'll just give her a little

rest, and she'll make it.

How much further, brother?

About another mile and a half to the river.

Don't worry, baby. I can carry you that far.

Ain't that right, baby?

That's the real one. Don't do no clicking now.

Moron, don't shoot. Your shooter will die down here.

No, no, no. Hold it. This is my ballgame, ain't it? Nobody gonna shoot

and nobody gonna die.

This is just cops and robbers, right?

You've been clicking all day.

Nice and easy.

He's really getting it on, ain't he?

you can understand me or not, pal, but push on that.

Push real hard.

We'll come back and get him.

It's all over now.

Everything's all over.

There ain't nothing over, man.

Now you get away from that hunk of garbage and let him die.

Now, Beretta, you show us the way out of here right now or this woman's gonna

die. You understand me?

Now, Jin just hurt bad, and I ain't going back to prison!

So you show us the way out of here right now!

You don't have to go to the river, pal.

All you gotta do is walk up that ladder. You're ten feet from the street.

Okay, get up.

Just stay back over there.

You ain't no killer.

You love her.

Come on, boy, you're lucky you got somebody to love in this world. Let her

go.

It's all over, Jimmy.

Atta boy.

Atta boy.

Learn how to dance. All that time on the streets and stuff, you don't get around

to those kind of things. Oh, we'll have a wonderful time. Yeah?

First we'll do something slow, and then we'll get into the fast. Slow?

Yeah, come on, show me. What can you do? Oh. Hum something.

Oh.

That's it.

That's it. Do it with your hips.

Your hips.

Hips.

That's it.

Have I got it? You got it.

Yeah, I got it now.

Sorry.

Where have you been?

Brubaker has called nine times.

I've been ringing your phone off the hook.

What's going on?

Oh, that's what's going on.

Billy, my boy, I'd like you to meet my cousin Maggie from Duluth. From Duluth?

Your family gets around.

Yeah, Maggie's staying with us for the weekend. She's just passing through.

How nice.

We'll try to make our humble surroundings meet with your obvious

grace and charms.

Mr. Beretta?

Here's your dollar and 50 cents change.

My mom and I'll see you tomorrow.

Your mom?

Oh, oh,

oh, the kid in the pool room. Yeah, your mom.

Okay, right.

12 o'clock at the 53rd, right?

That kid almost ran my legs off.

You, uh, hold down the fort.

Because uncle Tony's going out and learn how to dance

It's quite a family resemblance yeah in there,

you know I've met over a thousand of his cousin

Fred that boy will never die of old age. He

may die in bed, but not of old age
