ANNOUNCER:

( psychedelic rock
theme playing )

Hey, baby.

Hey, good-looking.

Ha-ha. Cool out, now.
Got no time for love talk.

( chuckles )

How you doing, baby?

I'm doing it. What's happening?



Lot of heartbreak
out there on the street.

Always is.

I hear some folks
gonna get well real soon.

Canetti the doctor?

I didn't hear that, brother.

That's cool. See
you later, sport.

Evening, Jane. Evening, Cindy.

Hi, Benjy.

What you doing out
here this time of night?

We've been to the movies.

Bet your mama don't know you're
coming back this way, does she?

No.

Well, I think I just better
take you both home, huh?

This ain't no place for
little ladies after dark.



Mrs. Torelli, how's
my pretty girl?

No use kicking about it, Benjy.

Is that cat still in your house?
What's his name? Uh, Hayes?

Yeah, but only until the end
of the week. Then he goes.

Him and all his complaints.

You know, I went to clean
his room while he was out.

And what do you think?
He's got a brand-new color TV.

And a radio. He can
even hear Europe on it.

And new suits. On his salary?

There's gotta be trouble.

Better he's gone, Benjy.

Oh, maybe. I know.

And the way he keeps looking
at the widow on the third floor.

Believe me, I know, Benjy.

Oh, man's nature
is a powerful thing.

You can keep it.

( laughing )

( ominous theme playing )

Hello. I'd like to
speak to Mr. D.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I'll wait.

( suspenseful theme playing )

Yeah, the weapon
was a hunting knife.

Eight-inch blade,
handle made of elk horn.

Picked up less
than a block away.

Yeah, he was a big
shot with connections.

Japanese, Kenji Shimada, age 42.

Also known as
Victor on his passport.

Hey, Steve, Phil
Teranian, The Examiner.

Phil, yeah. Good
morning. How you doing?

I'd be better if you
could feed me something

on the Shimada killing, huh?

Well, we really don't have
much yet, Phil. Maybe later?

It's been four days. You
gotta have something, huh?

He arrived from Tokyo
via Honolulu on the 11th.

Plane came in at 3:45 p.m.,

he checked into
the Fairmont at 4:15,

stayed in his room till 7:00,

then he went out and
was found murdered

at the corner of Tracy
and Hyde at 12:05...

Come on, I got all that.

Phil, you got what I got.

Yeah, but the guys upstairs
think there's something more.

No kidding? Really?
Come on, Steve.

The VP of Akito Industries

buying up American
companies like jelly beans

and you still figure
it's a mugging?

The wallet was
gone, watches, rings.

That's what it looked like.

I'll talk to you later, okay?

Who, uh...? Who's
that? ( sighs )

Armbruster.

Aye-aye. The mayor's office?

Yeah, the mayor's office. Hm.

How come it's different when
an ordinary guy gets killed?

Right.

What do you got?

Well, I'm not sure yet.

Do you know that guy, Benson?

The guy who owns the company
Shimada was gonna take over?

Right. Now, did he tell you
he went to Tokyo last summer?

Yeah, he told me.

Did he tell you he took
his mother with him?

His mother? No.

And he didn't tell
you that she owns

the majority of
stock in his company.

Or that he opposed the
takeover by Shimada's group.

But old Mom, Mom sold the
company out from under him.

No. You get that from Tokyo?

Yeah. Listen, it
even gets better.

It seems that Shimada was here

mainly because there
are a few questions

about financial irregularity
in Benson's company.

Well, now, wait a minute, now.

He did say that he just
got back from Boston

where he talked over
some business with his bank.

His mother live
there by any chance?

That's right.

We'd better get on
the horn to that bank.

The accounts executive's
name is Morgan.

He's getting all the records.

Boston P.D. will
put it on the wire.

What about the mother?

She's with a couple of guys now.

A, uh... A Sergeant Bradley
and an Inspector Perranoski.

Well, you got out of the blocks

pretty early this
morning, didn't you?

It wasn't too bad,
really. Five a.m. here,

it's already 8 in the
morning in Boston,

10 at night in Tokyo.

Handled it all with the
comforts of a bedside phone.

A bedside phone?

Yeah.

Whose bed? No, no.

Come on, huh?

I've been trying to get
you since 7:30 this morning.

Don't know what
you're talking about.

You don't know what
I'm talking about?

Okay, buddy boy, that's fine.

But I tell ya, I really think
that's a good idea of you...

Good morning, officers.

Good morning.

Crunch time again, huh?

That's right, Dedini.

What chances are
there of getting a transfer

into Narco with you
for a couple of weeks?

I'm sorry, kid. Maybe if you
get a little more experience.

Hey, Steve, you know a guy
named Hoskins, don't you?

Benjy Hoskins. Sure do.

Yeah, the street hustler.
Have you seen him lately?

No. No, I haven't seen
him in a while. Why?

Somebody tried to take him out.
You might have heard something.

No, what happened?

He was trying to call me from a
booth near Columbus and Union

and he got blasted
through the glass.

Is it bad?

He's holding his own.

He's at the General Hospital.

I'm on my way there now.

If you hear anything
at all, let me know.

Okay.

Mike, see ya.

Yeah.

( sighs )

Benjy Hoskins, huh?

Real smart, old
guy. Street smart.

Never figured he'd get hit.

He ever do anything for you? No.

Oh, I seen him work around here

with the fellas
from time to time.

How did you come across him?

I was working black and whites.

There was this kid
about, uh, 10, 11 years old.

He had a gun under his mattress,

waiting for his
stepfather to come home.

And Benjy told me about
it so it wouldn't happen.

I see.

There's a lot of things that
didn't happen because of Benjy.

That's what I heard.

Listen, would you mind,

after I take care
of this Boston stuff,

if I went down... Wait a minute.

Do you think I'm gonna sit back

and watch you
crack this case open,

with half of city hall looking
over my shoulder? Never.

Now, you get your
tail over to that hospital

and I'll follow up on Benson.

( dramatic theme playing )

Oh, excuse me, uh...

My name is Steven Keller.
I'm a friend of Benjy's.

I just wanted to see how he is.

That's how he is.

Are you relative?

I'm his daughter.

Sorry, I didn't know
he had a family.

You were such good buddies,

he confided
everything in you, right?

The doctor says
the bullets are out.

But there's a lot of him
shot up inside, I know that.

I've seen people shot
up on the streets before.

I know the look.

Well, they do good work here.

They've put together a
lot of guys in bad shape.

How do you know my father?

We, uh... We worked
together a while back.

You a cop?

Yes.

You friends enough to
find out who shot him?

We're working on it.

Didn't say we, said you.

Steve. You got something?

No, I just thought I'd stop by.

You met, uh, Sergeant Dedini?

We've already met.

How's he doing?

Fine.

I found these
things in his pockets.

I'll leave them here.

Have you seen these before?

Could be telephone numbers.

Are you sure?

Blood on them. Maybe
the lab can read 'em.

Milt, may I talk to you
outside for a second?

Yeah, sure.

( somber theme playing )

BENJY: Some dads are good.

Some dads are grand.

But you're the best dad
in the whole dad land.

( sniffs )

Daddy.

( chuckles )

How you doing, baby?

( groans sharply )

( coughs )

Look, you want
this case, you got it.

Milt, I'm not saying that.

I'm not gonna
sugarcoat it, okay?

The way she talks, I got
nothing else to worry about.

She cares, that's
all. She just cares.

So do I. He's a good stoolie.

I hope he still is.

He just woke up.

Don't worry, baby,
I'll be all right.

Steve, how you keeping, man?

Okay, Benjy, okay.

How you like
my...? My little girl?

Terrific. She is just terrific.

Yeah, terrific.

Not like her ugly old man, huh?

Showed her the way to go,
and she went, on her own.

You sound like a proud daddy.

I am, man. I am.

Benjy, who hit ya?

I don't know for sure, Milt.

You called me. Why?

Big deal going down.

Heard a number.

( chuckles )

Guess they spotted me.

Did you write it down here?

Did you write it down here?

I'm sorry, please.
You'll have to leave.

Which number?

Can't you hear? Leave him alone.

Which number was it, Benjy?

He's done enough. Milt.

( Milt groans )

Miss Hoskins, he really
should be alone now.

You've been up a long time.
Why don't you go on home.

We'll call you
about his progress.

( labored breathing )

Well, what do you think?

Whatever he heard must
have been awful heavy.

I'm not sure I buy it.

The four bullet
holes sell me, Milt.

A guy like that makes
a lot of enemies.

Maybe he's telling us a story
to make himself a big man.

You're a real angel, baby.

He gets all shot
up doing you a favor

and you give him
nothing but spit.

( sighs )

Look, I'm sorry.

So was Judas.

Miss Hoskins, I
didn't mean it that way.

If you took it that
way, I apologize to you.

I took it like it came, mister.

I'm gonna run these
numbers through the lab.

Maybe they can make them.

Tell me that's no way
to handle the man.

No, no. No, you tell me.

Right.

Black and white get you here?

I'll take you home.

It's cheaper than a cab.

I can pay my own way.

I'm sure you usually do.

( ominous theme playing )

So?

He's still breathing.

You talk to Canetti?

Yeah, he ain't happy.

Well, he's just
gonna have to wait.

There's at least
two dudes in there

that I know gotta be fuzz.

I don't know. A man
like Victor Shimada,

been around, knows
how to handle himself.

It seems that nothing
is enough anymore.

You've got to be on
your guard all the time.

I mean, what happens
in our streets today,

it's terrible. It's...

I know how you feel, Mr. Benson.

And I also know that
you're a very busy man,

so if I could ask you a few
of these questions again?

Sure, sure. I-I'm sorry.

You said that you had
dinner with Shimada at Luzio's

and that while you were there,
nothing unusual happened.

That's right.

And you went home around 9:30?

Yes. He was
bushed from his trip.

He wanted to get some rest.

I see. And you dropped
him off at his hotel.

No. I just wish that I had.

He insisted on taking a cab.

You went straight home?

Yes.

Yes.

Thank you very much.
I appreciate your help.

Not at all.

And I only hope you
catch the man who did it.

Well, if it's any
comfort to you,

we've got half the
department working on it.

( funky jazz theme playing )

It's a nice place.

Surprised?

Should I be?

Oh, come on.

Daughter of a street
hustler living uptown,

working a legit job and
going to night school?

Well, I'd say it's
against the odds,

if that's what you mean, yeah.

Five-to-one against it, baby.

Kids I grew up
with, like Felicia

and Mary Ann,
Marty and Big Alice,

they're all dead...

in jail or on parole.

Good kids.

Except they didn't have
a father to push them,

chase them...

to love them out of trouble.

"Get out of the
alley," he kept saying.

"I'll help you."

And he did.

Yeah, he's quite a guy.

Just another street bum.

A stool pigeon, right?
That's what you called him.

No, I call him Benjy.

Thanks for the ride.

Listen, Vi, there's
something I gotta tell you, uh...

If I could help, I would.

But I work on homicides

and I've got a
rough case right now

with a lot of
pressure to crack it.

Sure, I understand.

You all right?

I'm fine.

Here's your glossies, Mike.

Ah, good.

How's Benjy?

He's gonna be okay.

It really hurts, though,

to see a guy like
that chopped up.

I saw Benson again.

Yeah? And?

Step inside.

What, you got something?

Mm-hm.

I got the same feeling you got.

He said that he had dinner
with Shimada at Luzio's

and they broke up around 9:30.

That's right. Benson
went home in his limo

and Shimada took a cab, right?

Mm-hm. It was Benson's party

and yet he lets his
guest go home in a cab.

Did you check that out?

Doorman says
that's what happened.

Could he have been greased?

No, he's not the type.

Mike, you know a guy
by the name of Cappy?

Bayview Towers?

Yeah, pushes a broom.

Well, he's pushing
something else right now.

Said he recognized
Shimada's picture in the paper.

Recognized how?

He saw him leaving

one of the apartments
last night, 11:45.

Where is he now?

A phone booth,
Chestnut and Hyde.

Give you ten minutes for a call.

Get on that phone. Okay.

Tell him we're on our way.

( ominous theme playing )

( knife clicks open )

( screams )

( gasping )

( sirens blaring )

Whoever he was, we'll get him.

The nurse gave us
a good description.

Where were the guards?
There weren't any.

You left him here alone?

There was no reason to
believe they'd try again.

Your father was...
Was not that important?

Was not under any threats.

None of you really care, do you?

You say you do, but you don't.

Look, Miss Hoskins,

I've only got so many
people to cover this entire city.

Sergeant, I don't wanna
hear your problems.

I know your problems.

It's a big town and
a big job, okay?

But if a big man gets burned,
anybody with any juice,

you got cops tripping on cops

to find out what
happened, right?

Sixteen G. You're sure?

Come on, Mike. I
told you, it's a nest.

Three girls working it.

I been checking the action
maybe eight, ten months now.

Shimada came here last night?

Like I told you.

The dame comes in at 9:30,

he comes in at quarter of 10.

He goes home at a quarter
of 12, she goes home at 12.

Came by cab? Yeah.

Leave the same way?

Limo.

A limo? Okay.

Who was the gal?

Look, Mike, I take a...

I take a big chance just
talking to you, ya know?

I mean, uh, anyone sees me,

you know, I could get a
jacket, get banged up pretty bad.

You called me, Cappy.

Yeah, yeah.

Look, um, I got this
friend's up on a bum rap.

Making a little book, he
gets hassled, you know?

What's his name?

Bernstein. Bobby Bernstein.

I'm making no promises.

Mike, I know. Your
ear, that's all I need.

I'm still listening.

Merry Cantrell, 2911 Taylor.

You got that?

You got Bernstein too?

Well, good seeing you, Mike.

You too, Cappy.

He's really a charmer.

So he asked for a
favor. They all do.

You know, Benjy never
asked for anything.

Just gave.

I guess stoolies come in all
shapes and sizes, buddy boy.

Just like cops.

W-what was that address again?

2911 Taylor.

2911. Let's go.

( funky jazz theme playing )

Try to locate Dr. Kamer.
I'd like him for consultation.

I'm sorry, Miss Hoskins,
there's still no change.

So you do know Miss Cantrell?

Yes, well...

And you arranged a little
dinner party for Shimada.

You picked him up
at a quarter to 12,

after telling your chauffeur

you wouldn't be needing
him anymore for the evening.

It takes 18 minutes to go
from the Bayview Apartments

to the corner of Tracy and Hyde.

Five minutes after that,

Shimada is found
knifed to death.

Lieutenant, I have to ask again,
are you gonna make a charge?

I'm gonna have to ask your
client again, Mr. Marston.

And this time, I suggest he
think over his answer carefully

before he gives it to me.

Mr. Benson, you're a hunter.

Do you have a hunting
knife with an elk-horn handle?

Lieutenant, I'd, uh, like a word
with my client alone, please.

I'd like a word with him myself

but I'm afraid I'm
gonna have to give him

to the DA's office now.

Excuse me.

So how you doing?

I hit him with that bank
report on the missing funds.

Yeah? He began to sweat.

And when that girl waltzed
across there, he had had it.

He turned every
color of the rainbow.

That was it, finished.

Was he our man?

Well, without that company,
he was nothing and he knew it.

He took a gamble.
Not much of a guy.

No wonder his mother didn't
trust him with the company.

Hey, Steve? Yeah.

That was Dedini. Thought
you'd wanna know.

That old guy, Benjy? They
took another crack at him.

In the hospital?

Yeah. Guy got away.

Benjy's in Intensive Care.

Mike?

Yeah, go ahead, go ahead.

( tense, somber theme playing )

Catch your man?

Yeah.

Good.

Vi... Tell me something.

Tell me how... a
raggedy, old black man

could ever get the idea

that he was helping the
police with what he did?

( crying ): How could he
get the idea that they cared?

How...?

How could...?

How could he let himself die...

Vi, it's okay.

For a crazy idea like that?

Police. I'd like to use
your phone, please.

( sighs )

Mike? Yeah.

Listen, find Dedini
for me, will ya?

Tell him, I want everything
he's got on this thing with Benjy.

Yeah. Just now.

Okay.

( mysterious theme playing )

He just never really
got out of the alley.

Scuffed all of his life.

Paid his dues.

But by the time he got straight,

it was too late to change.

Listen, you sure
you wanna go home?

Maybe ya... Maybe you
ought to stay with some friends.

I've got arrangements to make.

The church, funeral.

Vi.

Vi, not yet, all right?

You gotta give me a few hours.

Now, I got the hospital
cued and if anybody asks,

Benjy's still in Intensive Care.

You really think
they'll come back?

It's worth a try.

So now he gets police
protection, after he's dead.

Vi, we got a good
description from the nurse.

Dedini's checking
the phone numbers.

We're doing everything we can.

Just need a few hours. Okay?

( sighs )

Listen, one of the
numbers Dedini checked out

is to a guy named
Hayes, a Larry Hayes.

Now, do you ever remember
your father mentioning his name?

No.

What about an address on Kearny?

1145 Kearny.

No.

Could he be the man?

It's a possibility, yeah.

Are you gonna be all right?

I've done my crying.

Hayes is 28, single.

No record except for
a few traffic violations.

What does he do?

He's a clerk at
Vanguard Freight,

down on the pier.

Been there four
years, three months.

Foreman says he's
reliable, no troubles.

Who is this, Hayes? Yeah.

Now, what about women and booze?

He plays the field.

And the ponies when he's got
the bread. Booze, no problem.

Well, what else? You
talk to the landlady?

I tried. A Mrs.
Torelli. She wasn't in.

How'd Benjy get the
number? He overhear it?

That's what he said.

But they could have
been given to him.

Now, what's that
supposed to mean?

It's a thought.

You're saying he worked for them

and he got crossed?

Hah. It's happened before.

Oh, Milt, will you come on?

No, you come on.

Okay, he's dead, that's tough.

Don't tell me it's not possible.

A stoolie is out
for himself, period.

And Hoskins
wasn't any different.

I think he was.

Now, Steve... Just
a minute, Mike.

You check his rap sheet?

I bet it's a mile long.

That's right, small stuff.

Grocery heist, running
numbers, con games.

When he was a kid. So?

So you tell me, when's
the last time he got busted?

DEDINI: Couple of months?

Try 12 years.

That's right, man. He's
been clean for 12 years

and all that time he's
been working for us.

He even gets nailed
phoning in a tip.

And what does
he get for it, huh?

There's no badge for Benjy.

So I don't see him being some
kind of dirty name, you know?

Okay.

If you put it that
way, I'm sorry.

Hey. Hey.

Look, you gonna take Hayes?

Am I still on it?

Benjy called you.

So I guess he thought you
were the right man for the job.

Okay.

Okay, I'll check
out these numbers.

If anything worthwhile,
I'll let you know.

Good.

I know, I know.

Rule one, you gotta keep
your fists in your pockets

and your feelings
out of the way.

But I feel better.

It's off my chest, okay?

You got it off your chest?

Yeah.

I think I'd better get
off my duff now, huh?

Okay.

( ominous theme playing )

Yes, operator?

I'd like the number
for a Mr. Larry Hayes,

1145 Kearny.

( rock music
playing ) ( ringing )

Yup.

( rock music playing )

Hello?

Larry Hayes?

That's right. Who's this?

Vi Hoskins.

Who? Hold on a second.

( clicks off )

All right, now, what was that?

I said, this is Vi Hoskins.

Come on, baby,
you know who I am.

Who says?

Listen, my old man
died an hour ago.

But if you call the hospital,
they'll give you some jive

about he's still
hanging in there.

I'm filling you in to
show you I'm straight.

Uh, lady, I think you
got the wrong number.

No way.

My daddy gave me
this number, you dig?

That's how I'm onto you.

And he gave me
some other stuff too,

like names, dates, places.

All right, now, look, I don't
know what's going down here...

Don't jive me, baby.

I got folks who'll pay
for what Benjy gave me.

Like the other side of the
street he worked, you dig?

Has this got something
to do with the cops?

It's got to do with
you, baby, and me.

I wanna taste.

No reason my daddy
had to die for nothing.

Now, here's my number.

You write it down
and get back to me.

555-7214.

Lady, I don't know
what you're talking about.

This is Hayes.

I think I just might have
something for you guys.

( knock on door )

Yeah? I haven't
done anything wrong.

Well, then you don't have
anything to worry about, Hayes.

Hey, now, just a second.

You guys can't
come busting in here.

I don't see anything busted.

Hayes, you still working
at the freight line?

That's right.

Would you mind telling
me what this is all about?

Could be about narcotics,

but all we got
right now is murder.

What?

How well do you
know Benjy Hoskins?

Hoskins?

Nice color set. Large screen.

Must have cost a bundle.

How'd you pay for
it? Time or cash?

Now, just a second...

Look at this stereo set, Steve.

How can a man who makes
$94.50 a week afford such goodies?

Maybe you got something
going for you on the side, eh?

All right, now,
hold it. I am clean.

I don't know what you guys
are looking for, but I'm clean.

Play the ponies too, huh?

Steve, check out these
numbers with the ones we've got.

No, it's none of these.

Look, if you guys
wanna search this place,

you're gonna have to...

This is Vi Hoskins' number.

( action theme playing )

Look, don't shoot. Don't shoot.

Come on, who killed Benjy?

Not me.

I didn't even know the
guy was dead till she called.

Look, I don't know anything.

I just passed on
some information.

Like what?

We've got this freighter.

It's called Star of the East.

It goes to the Orient and back.

It stops at 17 ports.

This guy just wanted to know

the hours it picked up

and stopped. That's all.

You didn't know
that it was picking up

narcotics all over, did you?

No!

All right.

Now, what about Vi Hoskins?

Nothing!

I've never... I've
never met her.

I've never seen her.

I just got this call
out of nowhere.

I get this stupid call!

When was that?

Just before you guys
got here. Two minutes.

What'd she call for?

She said she had some
names. She wanted a payoff.

Hey, you're lying, man.

I'm not lying. It's the truth.

She said her old man had died

and she wanted a
piece of the action.

Tell me the truth, man!

Let go of me!

She wouldn't have said it, Mike.

Steve. Did you
tell her about him?

Yeah.

I gave her the name
and address, yeah.

( suspenseful theme playing )

( tires screech )

That's all right. Police.

She won't need ya anymore.

Pull out.

All right, where are you going?

Out. Is that against the law?

Look, we've got Hayes,
we know you talked to him,

but what I have to find
out from you is why.

Because he could lead me to
the man who killed my father.

And what did you plan to do when
you saw that man, Miss Hoskins?

Kick him in the shins?

I don't have to
tell you anything.

You can't stop me.

We can now.

Where'd you get this?

You can get anything,
anywhere, if you pay for it.

My name is Stone, Mike Stone.

I never met your father, but
from everything I've heard,

I'm sure he didn't
teach you that.

No.

But I want that man to pay.

Vi, we do too.
And we'll get him.

I've heard that number before.

Not from me, you haven't.

All right, you called him,
you gave him the message,

then what happened?

Somebody else called me back.

He didn't say who he
was, just that he'd meet me.

Where?

The corner of Sacramento
and Battery, 20 minutes.

Twenty minutes?

Get a police woman
and set up a stakeout?

Not enough time.

Then let me do it.

It's too dangerous.

He knows who I am,
why I wanna meet him.

He'll call again and I'll go
when you're not around.

Now, you listen to
me, young lady...

Please, Mr. Stone.

I know the risks. I don't care.

I want that man caught now.

( tense theme playing )

Steve?

Okay. We're gonna need help.

I'll see if I can raise Dedini.
We'll need another cab.

STONE: We're a couple
of blocks away, Dedini.

Where did you land?

Sacramento and
Battery, northwest corner.

You can stop at
the next intersection.

Get set.

There's Vi.

There's Dedini. Pull over.

Hi, there.

I'm waiting for someone.

( laughs )

Me too.

Let's walk, Miss Hoskins.

She's made the meet. One guy.

Wait a minute.

I think he's made us.

Move it out.

We'll lose the play.

Circle around. We'll cover.

( suspenseful theme playing )

Dedini, she's in a
yellow coupe, Ford,

California license
871-Frank-Kay-Love,

headed north on Sansome.

Just turned north on Commercial.

Pull over here.

Okay, honey, just hang loose.

Have a nice trip.

( action theme playing )

They made a switch.
She's in a blue wagon.

We'll follow it.

You grab the guy
in the yellow coupe.

He's still on Commercial.

( tires screech )

Put your hands on
the roof! Don't move.

You guys crazy? Don't move!

What's the matter?

Watch the light. Stay close.

Watch out!

( tires screech )

We lost them.

Well, we shouldn't
have let her go alone.

Let's grab the guy
back there. Come on.

He had it on him.
Wanna bet it matches?

It ain't mine. He planted
it. DEDINI: Yeah?

Where'd your
friend take the girl?

What girl? Where is she?

Steven.

Now, listen, this gun's got
you tied into one murder.

If anything
happens to that girl,

I promise, you're never
gonna see the light of day.

Now, where are they? A deal.

What about a deal? Keep talking.

Took her to Canetti's warehouse.

He's big man.

What warehouse?

On the docks. Number 46.

Forty-six? Andy, here.

Get on the horn for more
support. You take him.

I'll take him. Up
against the roof.

Up against the roof.

So... your old man gave
you Hayes' number?

That's right, Mr. Canetti.

What else did he give you?

I haven't heard any offers yet.

You people are something else.

Your old man
working with the cops,

and now you're working to
make some bread off his corpse.

Yeah, we people
have got to make it

where we can, don't we?

You know, I'm sorry.

You're a nice-looking broad.

( tires screeching )

( tires squealing )

Okay, okay, take it easy.

Vi! No, don't shoot!

Somebody stop her!

You're out of the
alley, so stay out!

Did you see that?
She tried to kill me.

The broad's crazy. Canetti.

She's really bananas. Canetti.

You have the right
to remain silent.

Yeah, but she...

I think this would
be a good time

for you to start
making use of it.

Thanks for coming.

I'll be back from time to time.

He was a man...

Well, he's a man I
wanna remember.

Did you hear what he
said? Sergeant Dedini?

Yes.

He meant it, didn't he?

He sure did.
