Let's go in there and grab him. No, we don't. We have to wait for the

lieutenant. That's why he's a lieutenant. He makes decisions. So let's

him to make a decision.

Here he is.

All right.

I drive all the way out here to play potsy?

Well, if you look across the street at about 11 o 'clock, nice and easy. I

don't look. Just look.

Slow.

Hooker, sitting to her right.

Denny Schwartz.

Well, that means the six million is still there somewhere.

If you listened to me, you wouldn't have to put those things under your tongue.

I won't tell nobody where that money is.

What do we have to say?

What do we have to meet for?

So I can tell you what I said a hundred times? Denny, wait.

No waiting. I don't have to wait.

I got a job.

I'm making out. Denny, the cops are all over us.

They're even pushing at me. The deal was I hide the money and we wait a year.

You tell Ryan not to forget.

Two guards died.

One cop died.

And the money is the only thing that can tie us to that crazy day.

You're going to call 9 -1 -1. You understand? 9 -1 -1. Heart attack. I

Don't bother, Millie.

He's dead.

But you're not.

Sure, I'm going to be just fine.

I'm going to move to Park Avenue as soon as my rich aunt dies.

Look, Millie, with your record, you got three to five years and you only served

18 months. How come?

So you helped me out. That's right, me, not Ryan. He's a pimp and he's using

you, Millie. No, no, I swear he's not. He's a good guy and he's clean now and

he's trying to make out.

Ryan and Denny?

They pulled an armored car job.

Six million dollars and three dead.

The six mil?

Still out there somewhere, and he doesn't know where it is.

And he's going to kill you to find out. What do you want me to do?

I want you to help me save the lives of the people getting this way when it goes

looking for the money.

You watch him, you wait for your chance, and grab him. You get him here, we beat

it out of him until he tells us what wall he plastered the box full of money

Simple, right?

Hey!

We got to do it the hard way now. We got to hit the whole damn building.

We should have listened to Denny and did like he said.

Like he said?

He wanted to sit in his hands another year.

You want to do that?

I can't go to the john without some cop looking through my window.

Who you going?

Huh?

I don't know.

Maybe Bobby was right.

People could get hurt.

Bobby? Hey, you stay away from Bobby till this thing is all over with, or

break Bobby's head. You understand me? You keep your lousy hands off Bobby.

on.

Hey, what do we bring this jerk for anyway? We don't need him.

We just blast a few walls, we're gone, bang, zoom, it's all over.

Right?

Come on, don't be silly. You're a number one wheel man.

And you know, if you'd been in any other job, we'd have made it away without a

shot fire.

Jesse, we were kids together. You know how it used to be for us.

I'm 30 years old.

I passed half of them in a slammer.

I don't want to go back.

And I don't want to live like this anymore.

Hey, where are you going?

The electrical gear is coming in.

I want to take a look at the expert.

Where's she been?

The cop.

What did you tell him?

I'll do what I can to help him get you.

Relax.

Everything's moving along just great. Is it?

Why did you send him to follow me?

I was working on him for you.

I was getting to him.

He didn't have to die.

He respected trust.

I was working on him all the time.

I told you I was getting there.

What did I say?

I said protect Millie and watch him.

If he makes a move to her, do you stop him?

That's all I said to do!

I swear.

I try to do a good thing. It's like always. It never works out.

Okay.

Just start thinking of nice places to visit.

Millie, did you talk to Bobby like I asked?

Oh, Bobby's fine, Jess. Don't worry.

I said, you okay?

And Bobby said, just tell him to be careful.

Want to get up?

That's my desk. Come on.

I've got a lot of work to do here.

Guys.

Yeah, run these through for me, won't you, dummy?

You're so much faster than Cyberstein.

Come on, dummy. I'll put you at some other desk.

Forensic just called on Denny Schwartz's pad.

They peeled off some good prints.

What was in his garbage in the kitchen?

Partially burned.

Burned paper.

It's a blueprint.

Okay, Harry, thanks a lot.

Hey, Lieutenant, this guy here used to be a bookmaker.

He owes me one, you know?

It's usually the other way around.

Anyway, he claims that early this morning, three guys ripped off this

construction site. They took Jack Hammer's drills, the whole thing. Maybe

they're going to build a tennis court.

Yeah, well, you remember this psycho Diesel Romero?

He ordered the stuff.

Manhattan South.

Lieutenant.

Yeah. Yeah, Lieutenant, we tailed that van to Queens between Jackson Heights

Astoria by Lady of Fatima Church, 25th Avenue and 80th Street.

All right, stay there.

Frank, I'm going to need a surveillance on a building in Queens. Five or six men

around the clock?

Oh, let's see. There's my wife. She's anxious to keep busy. My Aunt Gertrude,

she's good at windows.

If they can't come, would you settle for two -man teams?

Frank, I don't know what they're up to.

Well, that's a cop's job.

Despite all adversity, you forge ahead.

It's how you make captain.

Boo!

Fifteen pennants. Maybe ten during the day.

Front and back doors.

One doorman.

All right, we need five hours.

Your price is 60 grand.

I know about that goon squad you put together.

Diesel and Quinn.

Something goes sour, they cut you loose. Just like that.

There's one furnished apartment.

I couldn't get an appointment with the landlord until four. That's soon enough.

Hey, you think about the 60 grand.

You think of the things you can do with that.

What are we doing tighting with a guy who looks at a working girl and doesn't

see a working girl?

Gave that up.

An ex -lush stays away from booze.

What does an ex -hooker do? Stay away from people?

You ever look at it that way?

All I can think about is Denny is dead. We haven't even started this yet.

Yeah, sure.

Aren't you glad you're not hanging by your thumbs while you're waiting for Joe

Torre to tell his story?

You're supposed to look like a worker.

Every worker I know eats.

You see in there?

Yeah, they're still playing cards.

Just pneumonia.

Forget it.

Forget... Where's that hide?

Big Doberman walked at usual time.

A woman living alone in a foyer takes an hour's stroll at noon.

What about this doorman? Does he ever take a break? Not so far.

Hey, buddy, for 60 grand, get your butt out on the street right now and find

out.

Two weeks out on a manslaughter rather than we take that stick flake alarm.

It wasn't his fault.

His old lady was cheating on him, so he cut her.

But a little too much.

Deliveries. One tenant is an airline pilot.

People living in 3B are in all the time.

There's a divorced dentist living in 3C on vacation.

Patrol car passes every other hour at night.

During the day, they come and go. No schedule.

All right, we hit it in the afternoon.

I just said we can't clock the cops during the day.

Well, during the day, there's less people in the building. That's less to

control.

You think we can do it without any shooting?

Car just pulled up.

They're taking something out of the car.

It's a jackhammer.

Hey, great, we're on our way.

Hey, God.

What we got is unbelievable.

We cut to the U .S. men and hour.

You know what I'm going to do with my share?

I'm going to buy this island up in Hudson's Bay. I've seen it advertised in

magazine. And no one is going to live there except me and a cat.

It's that broad.

It's the pig.

Hey, a hooker is a hooker. Ryan can buy her, a cop can buy her, anybody can buy

her, right?

Make sure nobody buys her.

Suppose Ryan says no.

Then we take care of Ryan right after the job.

Best to share.

This is my chance at the sweet life, and nobody, nobody blows it and lives.

They're just waiting for the money to show. Dolly, see this sign?

Healthy local police.

Help them.

Just help them.

You want a lift?

There's some cops.

They could be looking out the window. Don't you care?

You?

Hey, now, you listen to me.

I know what you've done for me.

And I said I'd tell you as soon as I found out about the money.

But I don't know anything.

So why are you following me?

Well, you're telling your pretty stories.

Then you count the money?

If I knew about that money, I'd be on some pretty beach drinking daiquiris.

Instead of standing on a dirty street and talking to you.

So, can I go now? Or are you going to bus me again?

I'm going to go.

And Millie, forget about the bill, okay?

The debt's paid.

Oh, no, wait.

Wait, wait a second.

They bought some gear.

And they sold some, too. Like the building, drills, and crowbars, and

like that.

Can I give you any answer when you're going to use it?

Not a word, I swear.

But I'll let you know if I hear, okay?

Da Vinci,

Michelangelo. Don't step back to admire your work.

You hear that?

Yeah. Probably going uptown to eat.

Don't have birds make out this high all the time.

Hey, yo. The lab just called.

They made a positive match on the prints in Denny's apartment.

Jess Hopstetter. Served time for armed robbery. Was a wheelman.

Jess Hopstetter.

Holy specialists.

And now a wheelman.

That's that D -E -R.

Now, what do we got here?

Denny Schwartz and friend.

They pulled a multi -million dollar job. Right for the money. It's hot in the

dealers. Let's sit on it for a while.

So Dennis Schwartz, he hides the money someplace.

We get on to him. The others say, hey, let's grab and run. But only Dennis

Schwartz knows where the money is.

So they press him, he dies.

So where's the money?

Here we are right here.

There is a pipe.

Can I help you guys?

Yeah, we're from the A1 Exterminator Company.

A1 Exterminator Company? What's that?

Well, we got a complaint from one of the tenants.

Well, I never heard about pest problems from the management.

The management knows nothing about this. This is from a tenant.

Yeah, hey, hey, look.

These are your roaches.

Absolutely not. Well, open them up and we'll see where they go home, okay?

Ah, I guess so.

Take it easy.

A few minutes and the alarm is out.

Ordered the refrigerator only because I was told I would have it by the end of

the month.

Yes, ma 'am, and we will deliver it in the next couple of days.

Absolutely.

Ryan, we don't need Millie to get the apartment. We just picked up our ticket

in.

Lieutenant, Safe and Loft just called. They heard we've been looking for Jess

Hofstetter. His parole officer came up with a girlfriend named Bobby.

I'm looking for Jess Hofstetter's girlfriend, Bobby.

I'm Bobby.

got a coat, Jack.

Oh, come on in. Thanks.

That's a nice place you got here.

Where was he?

He was in the Ryan.

Where?

61st Street, that's all I heard.

Hey, don't hurt him, please. No, no. He do that to you? No, Diesel Romero. He's

gonna kill me to keep me from telling anybody what they were up to.

Hey, you still alive?

Yeah, he worked me over first for kicks. That saved my life. Then my friends

came along.

You want protection, Bobby?

No, I'm gonna... I'll be okay. I'm going out of town for a while.

That's all?

I think they're gonna kill Millie Blaski.

Diesel doesn't like her.

Ryan doesn't trust her.

or I'll shoot.

Ryan, there's been a gunshot. I'm going up to look.

Stay out of there.

I'll go up to the basement door. The super's off today.

What, you crazy?

We can run from here and we're clean.

Hey, man, that's a lot of bread to lose.

You know, I just realized something. That pile of truck is in violation. You

can't park a motor vehicle on a public street for more than 24 hours.

What are we doing out here? Taking a drive. There's some dying over here.

Thanks! Guess that's right.

and a new perfume?

They showed up with a jackhammer, and then they showed up with what looked

a mind detector and some other things, a crowbar, a hand drill, and a saber saw.

Upstairs? Must be a hundred out.

And Ryan's windows are shut.

You go upstairs and bust the apartment and we'll take the van.

You want us to bust it?

Now!

One jackhammer, one of everything.

And they stole two hammers.

Two of this and two of that.

Feeding us.

They've been feeding us things to write down.

Lieutenant, the apartment's empty.

Yeah, this part is a plan.

We've been had.

They were on to us from day one.

Hey, what kind of a job am I involved in?

Horseshoes, you're falling apart.

Yeah, go ahead. Bleed to death while I'm here. Who is it?

Ryan.

Hey, what kind of job did you case?

Did anybody hear that?

Hey, what's the difference? The job is all falling apart.

Here, you take these. It'll help. Come here.

Now, you relax, because in a couple of hours, we're going to be lighting our

cigars with $10 bills.

We better be. Hey, the gear is on its way up.

It's in your office.

What about this?

City Planning Commission and plans sent over 16 blueprints that could match the

piece we got from Denny Schwartz's garbage.

Theo, she's feeding you a lot of lies. You said so from the start.

Maybe she's about to get some sense in her head.

Do you know what the odds on that are?

Fasuna tapasuna risa. Talking about odds.

Remember me? I saw your horses run.

What's new, baby?

Life still giving you a lousy time?

You seem real cool all of a sudden. I'm not gonna die today.

A lot of people are gonna die today, but I'm not gonna die, and you know why?

Because I'm here with you, that's why, baby.

Like you said, it's a lousy life.

And what do you do to make it better, huh? A guy like Ryan.

He loves me.

Tweedledee and Tweedledum, dum -dum.

He knew you and Denny were friends, and he's using you.

Listen, let me tell you something about Ryan.

They're going after the money now. A house on 61st Street.

He's here, Lieutenant.

Sure, I know Ryan has done some things, but I guess you've done some things,

too. I mean, he's one of those guys who knows how to love and make you forget

things you've done in the past.

He just can't make it out in this world.

That's all.

Bobby, what happened? I'm okay, I'm okay.

Diesel just wanted to make sure that I keep quiet.

He's gonna kill you, Millie.

No. Millie.

Ryan's a pimp, and you can cut it any way you want to, and that's what he'll

always be.

And you'll always be a hooker if you let people like that use you.

You're using me.

I told you to your face. I need your help.

make a sound, just come with me.

What, like this? Smile, and nobody will notice.

Just get against the wall.

Trudy, what are you doing here?

She needed to have a dentist.

What, in your apartment?

In the middle of the afternoon?

Will you forget about her? I mean, look at these guns, and this building is

supposed to be secured.

Well, maybe we'll get a rent reduction.

All right, you, Admiral.

Yeah, I'm putting you in charge.

Now, you make sure they keep in line or your plane crashes.

Yeah. I want everybody to sit down.

Did you order a fridge?

All right.

I have another six apartments where the fire was. And Denny said he plastered

the money in one of those. That's all we've got to worry about. Leave the rest

of the apartments alone.

All right, one wrong move, we're dead. Let's go.

Yeah,

yeah, I'm right, I'm right.

Yeah, all I can see is that green, green, good living.

Sir, I'm a practicing dentist, and, uh, well, the loss of blood could definitely

affect that man's judgments.

Hey, sit down, Pempery. My judgment's gonna get a lot worse.

Will you shut up?

Hello, Gladys? This is the phone company, ma 'am. What do you mean?

Sorry, but it's temporarily out of order for maintenance.

For how long? How long will I be inconvenient? We're working on it as

can, ma 'am. Oh, boy.

Shouldn't take more than a couple of hours.

What a drag.

Yes, I'm very sorry about the inconvenience, ma 'am. Can I use Mrs.

phone? No, Mrs.

Fisher's not able to call out.

Well, if you wish, you can... This stinks.

Stick it in your ear.

baby off like a firecracker.

Just tell me where there's piping and conduit.

Private Island, here we come.

Hello, ma 'am. The owner said you'd be back.

Is this a secured building?

Sir, King Kong couldn't get in without a key.

You have any vacant apartments?

2D. It's furnished.

Sure you want to go?

Yes. Maybe I can talk to him.

What's it look like?

Well, it's peaceful, like a graveyard.

Well, at least you're in.

Yeah, well, so are they.

Ever wish you were a kid again?

You got the scene I had. Yeah, I do.

Everything was so simple then.

Nobody ever... I'll ask you who you love, your wife, your dog, cat, friend.

We have the neighborhood sealed off and three ambulances around the corner.

You promised, no worries.

This building is full of innocent people and Ryan, he's a killer.

You won't hurt him, you promise?

Who won't hurt him?

I'm so scared I can't breathe.

Yeah, I understand, so am I.

That's all that counts.

Good clothes.

People think you're somebody else when you're wearing them.

Jackpot.

Lieutenant.

Here.

There's somewhere on four.

When you pinpoint them, we move.

It's nothing!

Let's get out of here.

It's supposed

to be easy, Tom. I don't like it.

We got cops here. It's getting complicated. I don't like it to be

Let's go downstairs and blow them away and then get the job done. It's going to

be okay, Cecil. You just think about that money. You better let me look at

woman.

Maybe he's really my guy.

Sure. All right.

Move into the room.

Millie, you sure you want to be a part of this?

I met Bobby.

Go on, laugh.

It's crazy.

I know it's crazy.

Go on, get in the kitchen. Sure, it's crazy, but it's crazy when you have no

one. I mean, look at me. Am I laughing? In the kitchen, cuff yourself.

That means there's nothing on four also.

Good afternoon. This is the phone company. The number you've just dialed

temporarily disconnected for repairs.

Hey, I said stay down there.

Did you get the cops?

Jess has them.

Okay.

Brian. What?

Did you set me up?

Who said that? The cops?

Come on.

You listen to a cop.

I think you are a very attractive lady.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

What about these people? What about them?

That elevator has to move to the third floor.

These have the equipment in it or they're holding hostages.

We've got the first floor contained.

All right, let's squeeze.

Okay, slow and easy.

Captain, we can't reach the tenant.

They're the light, Black Cat.

Frank, they hit four and came up empty.

Each floor means more hostages, and we can't reach the tenant.

That telephone truck, it must be there.

Too quiet out there. They'll catch on. Get some traffic and run it around the

building. Okay, Captain.

Any luck? No.

Maybe you got the wrong building.

Just keep trying.

I can smell the coffee in Brazil.

Which boyfriend gave you this?

Cheapo. I had him fixed on making lunch in your apartment.

Stuff can be traced.

Truck's a pony, Rizzo.

Hey, go in.

What? There's one more apartment on this floor.

Suppose it's a bust.

If it's a bust, we get on it, too.

Hey, why, why, why is it so hot in here?

Open a window.

Get in.

Rock. Hey, Ryan.

I saw a car.

Can I show you a window?

Air conditioning.

Gonna walk in, I'm gonna pay cash, man.

Gonna walk in, and I'm gonna pay cash.

Well, get her!

You could risk a shot, Frank.

Or one burst of that combine into the elevator and forget it. The hostages

had it.

Hello, Ryan?

Ryan?

Is anybody up there?

Diesel Romero, knife, illegal, $10.

Keys, no credit card.

Tom Ryan, keys, wallet, $12.

Jess Ostetter, wallet, keys, $6.

Brad Quinn, wallet, keys, pen, knife, $10.

From riches to rags.

Hey, Millie.

Look, you got to do time. There's no question about that. But I'm going to

to the DA, okay?

Because you did save those people's lives.

Good luck.

Hey, Al. What?

Don't stick your neck out for her. She's a loser.

All right.

What'd I bet on, loser?
