at Gate 19.

Excuse me, sir.

Mr. Elroy Jones, please pick up the courtesy phone.

Mr. Elroy Jones, please pick up the courtesy phone.

...boarding at Gate 6.

Coastal Airlines Flight 602 for Boston, boarding at Gate 6.

Is there a car waiting delay?

Yes, Senator.

They're taking us right to the press club.

What do you say, Mott?

Watch out, Stan.

Hold it. Let me take a peek at him.

What do you got?

It's a John Doe.

There's no ID.

There's nothing, Tony.

Go ahead. Take him.

You, Doc?

One slug, 38 caliber, through the heart at close range.

Went all the way through, impacting on the tile behind.

Where's the slug?

There's no slug.

You sure of that?

That's important.

Took it apart, Tony.

There is no slug.

Hold that stiff outside.

I want to look at him.

Shots?

We got any witnesses heard of shots?

Nothing. Nobody heard nothing.

You thinking what I'm thinking, Doc?

The powder spray was very small.

Probably a silencer.

What do we got?

We got a professional hit on an 18-year -old John Doe and a public John?

Passenger list.

Give me all the passenger lists on all the planes going in and out of here two hours

before and two hours after the time of death.

Ten-thirty.

Ten-thirty.

Ten-thirty.

Let's go.

Stanley, let me know as soon as you got a report.

Okay.

Dr. James Hatfield, please call your service.

Dr. James Hatfield, please call your service.

Oh, man, he always said you can read a person's whole life right in their hand.

Pool player, brain surgeon, bricklayer, it's all there if you know how to read it.

He says he never did an honest day's work.

Skin is coming off his hand.

What is that?

See that stuff?

Yeah.

That's coal-iron skin.

Doctors, they spray it on a hurt or a bruise or something.

Makes the skin clean and hard and dry.

This kid was a dipper.

Pickpocket.

That's right.

Put this stuff on your hand, you could steal a wet macrolid of an old lady's

girdle and she'd never know the difference.

Somebody killed a teenage dipper.

Get the doc out here and tell him to do his job.

Right.

I know you ain't used to painting, but you know, huh?

Right on, brother. Enjoy yourself.

Business, business, business.

Oh, man, business comes first, bro.

Now, where was we, man?

Oh, yeah, pickpockets.

Yeah.

Yeah, they use that iron skin stuff, man, but I'm gonna tell you something.

You know as well as I do, ain't no real dipper gonna use that stuff, man.

I know. - No, but a kid.

Now, a kid taking his first maiden dips into the best pocket of society.

That's right, man.

That could be.

Yeah, I know a dude.

He's an old brother.

Oh, yeah?

Matter of fact, I hear you've been training some new talent lately.

Kid might have knew.

Hmm.

This, uh... This old dude, what's his name?

Say what? - What's his name?

Look at me, I like to continue in the present vein, man, but are you gonna paint me?

You got funny ears, man.

They work one minute, they don't work another minute.

Now you're talking, man.

Collecting and collecting.

Put that money away.

His name's Minute Hand.

Minute Hand.

Minute Hand.

You steal the Minute Hand off your watch at high noon.

Dude hangs out down by the wharf.

You know them old garages down there?

Yeah, I got the place.

Listen, this guy, Minute Hand, could he, uh... could he snuff somebody?

No, man, Minute Hand?

His thing is pockets, man.

Brother's cool. Don't carry a piece, never has.

All right.

Yeah, he's probably down there in one of them old empty garages.

I'll go check him out.

Listen, keep your business off the street, especially when the heat's around.

Man, that's what my business is in the streets.

What you expect me to do, man?

I'm out here to make money.

I ain't out here for charity, you know.

I want a name.

Please, I don't know any names.

A man comes to me with goods.

Nothing is what I ask.

Not his name, not where he gets.

A lot of me work at that airport.

My forces tell me you handle this stuff.

Now give me their names.

I don't know any names.

Who the hell do you think I am?

Now you give me the name and description of every pickpocket

that works at that airport and everything will be all right.

If you don't, I'll kill you.

Okay, okay, I'll tell you.

All right, listen to me.

You haven't lived long enough to tell me how to do this.

Now if it's just wallet sets you're going after,

you're gonna end up on water and polar sausage.

No, you got to think about what is.

What is people are not carrying money nowadays.

And credit cards are too hard to deal with.

Are we going to eat them?

Now think about the good stuff.

Right?

Grabowski, hand me some of the goodies.

Now this is what brings home the gravy.

The good stuff.

Come here, let me show you something.

Now a man carrying this kind of stuff is not going to carry it in his pocket.

In his hip pockets.

That's where he carries his money.

You put it in here.

He's going to carry it inside in his coat.

You got that?

And you just lightly tap him here.

Hit him on the shoulder.

Grab this out and you walk.

Very simple.

Excuse me, sir.

Now tomorrow, fellas, we are going to talk about dribbling.

You got it?

Dribbling.

Be sure to bring your basketballs.

Get out here, bring your mother.

See if you can get anybody to join because we need some more members.

Don't forget your mothers and your fathers and sing

the Star Spangled Banner before you go to bed tonight.

Oh, good boys.

You know those are some good boys.

Dribbling.

Yeah, do a little social work right here.

You do a lot of social work, do you?

Working with the fellas.

Yeah, got to work with them.

You know how they get in trouble and all that kind of stuff.

How did you know I was the heat?

Well, since you asked.

I mean, here you are walking around with that tight t-shirt on.

So that means you're trying to tell me that you're not carrying a piece.

And then you got these short sleeves.

Now, I know that you're not a junkie, but unless you got some broken bones down

there by your ankle, that means that you're carrying a piece.

Hmm.

Hmm.

That's right.

You got me there.

As a matter of fact, I did a little checking up on

you and I found out you just got out of the joint.

And here you are teaching, uh... Dribbling.

Basketball, yeah.

Mm-hmm.

What's the matter? You didn't learn nothing in the joint?

Oh, yeah.

I learned to share with other folks and not to be violent.

You gave us some conflicts?

No, no conflicts.

You know, my father, he was kind of an old philosopher himself, too.

He always said that, no matter what you do, you got to pay your dues.

And if a fella tries to beat the dues collector, it's gonna tear him up.

Just eats him up.

Yeah, I think he was right, Baretta.

Say what?

I said he was right, Baretta.

How do you know who I am?

Well, I didn't at first, but now I do.

Yeah.

Yeah, that nose.

That grin.

Yeah.

Vinnie was the Baretta that I knew.

You knew my old man, didn't you?

Hey, he was as tight as two peas in a pod.

I used to drink at that little place over there on 6th Street all the time.

Volpino's.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Volpino's.

You was that snotty-nosed little kid that used to

come in there and drag his old man out by the ear.

You used to stuff a little sucker.

You used to knock his drink off the bar all the time.

Yeah.

My old man drank enough booze in there to own half that place.

And I remember you now.

You was a fella who used to gamble with him there.

You'd play chess for money.

You'd wear it all the time.

Yeah.

Hey, you know those were great days.

They used to call that the Great Depression.

But your ties were pretty good, man.

Look at me now.

Here I am eating corn flakes.

An old Vinnie's boy turned cop.

Wow, what a disappointment.

Well, old partner, I think maybe I got another disappointment for you.

The only difference I got are old-timers.

And they're all rolling around in their graves

because their sons turned out to be cops.

What makes you think I know this, too?

Jonesy.

Hey, I wouldn't want to do that to a nice guy like this.

I don't know a minute, Hen.

I thought maybe you could tell me that.

I don't know, man.

I don't know.

Okay.

You know, I think your old man was right.

I mean, it just eats you up.

Eats you up.

Senator, I'll meet you in here right now.

Come on, come on.

All right, I want you to meet State Senator Lee Carter here.

This is his aide, Mr. William Delane.

Oh, yeah.

Very nice to meet you, Senator.

You do good work there with the Crime Commission.

Oh, well, we're just a bunch of ordinary politicians.

You know, we're trying to keep some sort of pace with the cop in the street.

Yeah, well, you keep a little ahead of us.

Nice to meet you, sir.

All right.

Say Baretta, do you remember the details of that loan sharking operation

you broke up Birchdale three years ago now?

Ah, broke up.

Well, as you recall, we got the little fish, but the big one wriggled away.

Do you remember the name of that big fish, Mr. Brown?

McLaren. Angus McLaren.

He's still around.

Well, maybe we'll get a tighter net out on him this time, Bill.

We've developed some very firm evidence against

McLaren's associates over the last six months.

But we'd like to take McLaren down with them.

Now, while we're here, I'd like to get together

with you with our file of photos and documents.

See if anything clicks based on your exposure to their operation.

Would that be okay with you?

Sure, you can have our cooperation.

If you want to use my office, you can have it right now.

Go ahead.

Well, boss, I'm working on that murder over at the airport.

How long is it going to take you to wrap that up?

Tomorrow will be okay?

Tomorrow morning? Tomorrow will be fine.

When was the last time you saw the kid?

About four or five days ago.

Always in the garage.

That was the last time I saw him.

How did you get hooked up with this guy in the first place?

Somebody sent him over to me.

Remember him?

Boss sent him over.

Poppy?

Yeah.

You know Poppy? I've watched Poppy my whole life.

You and me eat up.

We're going to go down to Bowling Alley and check with him.

You got to hurry.

What?

He's not over there anymore.

He doesn't sit over at Bowling Alley where he used to.

One day a bunch of punks come into Bowling Alley and

start beating him over the head with a hockey stick.

For no reason.

Wow, they got him here.

No, no, his head is together, but he got him here.

Hey, what's going on, boss?

How you doing?

You ain't no easy muck.

This is my main man.

Long time, long time.

Yeah.

Who's that there?

Oh, that's Baretta, boss.

Baretta?

Hello. Must be trouble.

Hello, Baretta.

Hi, Bobby.

Yeah, we got a little trouble, boss.

Jonesy.

He's dead.

That's my wife and my...

Jonesy?

Oh, no, man.

That is bad.

Good boy.

Good, good boy.

Yeah, I thought so, too.

Say, you wouldn't have to have any idea who might have done it, would you?

I got more than an idea.

Herb Wilson, small time user.

You see, the kid was sniffing coke till I cleaned him up.

But he messed up a dope drop for Wilson.

Wilson swore he'd kill the kid.

Bobby, this Wilson, he's still hanging around?

He's a junkie now.

Got hooked on his own poison.

He's still around, still around.

Yes, I know that better than you, but something came up, something unforeseen.

No, I have to take care of this first.

When you hire me, you do it my way because my way's safe.

It's always set up that I'm out of the country

and there are three witnesses to prove it.

And when I take care of that, I'll finish what I came here to do.

Now, why don't you just take a walk on the beach and stop worrying?

It's being taken care of.

I'm sorry, Mr. Delane.

I don't recognize nobody in this batch, either.

Is this it?

Well, I do have one last confidential folder here

that I'd like you to take a look at, if you would.

Sure.

Yes.

Come on, sir.

You got him now?

I got Wilson for you.

Three arrests and no convictions.

That ain't Wilson.

That's Jameson.

Dope dealer. I know him.

He goes around with a raincoat and a funny hat on.

What's happening, man?

Hey, buddy.

Hey.

What are you shaking?

You holding, man?

You got a little something there for me, huh?

Come on, man.

We're tight, huh?

I got the money, Herb.

Yeah, we're tight. We're partners.

Yeah, here, man.

Hey.

Hey, what?

Get over there. Turn around.

I wasn't trying to rip you off.

Stay right where you are, partner.

I'm the heat.

Get around here.

Look, I'm... I don't even care about that junk.

You're good friends with Herb Wilson, huh?

You know him?

Look, I know the dude... Don't lie to me.

I ain't got no time for that.

You know him, don't you?

You know him well?

Put your hands down.

You know where he lives?

Take me to him.

And don't get cute, because I ain't in the mood.

Take me to him.

He's here, man.

Let's call him.

Hey, Herbie!

Hey!

What's happening?

Looking great.

Hey.

Hey, got anything there?

Hey.

Are you holding it all?

Hey, good friend. - Hi, Herbie.

Good friend.

He's the heat, man.

Get out of here.

Herbie?

Hey, Herbie.

You're down there in a hole.

Now, don't get tense.

Just stay loose.

Yeah, see? There you are.

I'm looking at you.

You're looking at me.

Come on up now. I want to talk to you.

What about?

Well, I don't care nothing about, uh...

You know, the dope or who you're hanging out with.

Nothing like that.

There's a little kid named Jonesy.

I want to talk to you about him.

Come on up out of there now.

Just stay cool.

I'm watching your hands, so don't get silly.

Atta boy.

Come on walking up here.

That's it. Just take it easy now.

Don't do... Come on up here.

Come on.

Atta boy.

Stand up there nice and straight.

Now, you put both your hands up on the box there...

and I'm gonna frisk you, then you and me are gonna take a little walk...

and have a little talk.

You're out of my way.

Now, don't be silly, man.

Look over here. I'm a cop. I got a gun.

I'll blow your brains out. Don't be silly.

Get up.

Turn around and spread them.

Okay, junkie, now you talk to me.

Come on.

Now, you told me you were on that farm all last week.

Is that right?

Your friends on the narco squad were coming down heavy...

so I split town for a company.

What are you doing on a farm?

You haven't been out of this town... two days in the last six years.

What are you doing on that farm?

Food and a place to crash.

Check this out.

He was there.

I went up and I talked to these religious freaks...

and they said he was there on the farm.

The children of what?

Children of Akon.

Are they gonna swear to that?

Are they gonna swear?

I don't think they believe in Bibles... or any other kind of books.

The printed word is the tool of disharmony.

What the hell does that mean?

I don't know. Can I get out of here now?

Oh, sure.

We'll let you go.

You want to go see your mother or do something like that?

You're out of Turkey.

The problem is I believe in books.

And I'm gonna book you.

Get him out of here.

Book him on possession and suspicion of dealing.

Happy birthday.

Get out of here.

Get him out of here.

Leave anything you heard.

You think that Turkey is capable of setting up an alibi on that farm...

and that he's incapable of setting up a killing?

What do you think, boss?

Not for a minute.

I don't think that snowbird could set up a checker game.

So what do we got then?

We got Tony Baretta spending two days chasing a junkie...

and winding up with a row of rats spitting a windstorm.

Mainly A, we got nothing.

So what are we doing here then?

This ain't no good, man.

I need more.

What about the information that boss Poppy gave you?

That didn't pan out.

That guy, he was up with some religious freak somewhere.

He had an alibi.

It turned out to be nothing.

Now, back to you again.

What do you got for me?

What do you mean?

I gotta get some more information.

You knew that kid.

He was a partner of yours.

Tell me something about him.

Well, I told you that he was sent to me by boss Poppy.

Now, he knows him much better than I do.

Maybe that's something that he forgot to tell you.

You're a dipper.

And you know all there is to know about it.

There's always two of them, isn't there?

There's the dipper and there's the bag man.

You always work what you make.

Ain't that the truth? - No, wait a minute, man.

Sometimes I fly alone.

Don't jive me, man.

You're an old-timer.

Forty years, sure, you can work alone.

But this kid... Jonesy.

Jonesy.

He had a partner, didn't he?

Give me a name. Give me three names.

Wait a minute, man. How do I know?

I'm not my brother's keep.

I don't know what he does when I'm not there.

Listen, we ain't talking about no nonsense now.

I'm not some young greenhorn cop who's gonna go

out and arrest somebody for walking on the grass.

We're talking about murder.

And anybody who don't come clean in a murder case, you're talking about hard time.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you just settle down and think about that.

You go think.

All right, all right.

Tony, I'm gonna think about it.

Remember. - No, I'm gonna remember.

I'm gonna think about it.

I'll think about it.

Do you believe that guy, Foley?

Well, as a thoroughly experienced police officer, I doubt his veracity.

According to the manual, any known felon who's convicted is a thief.

And once a thief, always a thief.

We both know that.

Find the little pea.

Find the little pea.

See if you can do it.

Now you've found the little pea.

Let's see this.

That's 1,843 for you, seven for me.

But don't get the wrong idea.

I'm gonna teach you yet that you can't fool with me.

Why, you little rascal, what are you doing?

You're a pickpocket.

Get out of there.

Get out.

Yes, sir.

You'll be known as Freddy the Dipper.

And you'll be going to jail.

Although I don't think there's much of a future in pickpocketing sunflowers.

Hey, Tony.

He's a dipper.

Fred's a dipper.

Oh, yeah?

Tell me more about that pickpocketing thing.

Pickpocketing is illegal.

I ain't gonna teach you.

If you can teach him, he'll wind up in jail.

I'm not teaching him anything.

I don't know how the force got along without you.

I need him. I don't need you.

Who are you?

Tony. Excuse me. It's Tony.

I got to see Baretta.

Tony Baretta.

Tony.

Somebody... Hey, Tony.

What's the matter?

Look, what's going on?

Tell me. Tell me. What is it?

You gotta help me.

All right. I'll help you. What is it?

Tell me.

He's cool. He's my partner. Go ahead. Talk.

Somebody is trying to kill me. - What?

Somebody is trying to kill me.

How do you know that somebody is trying to kill you?

When I got to my place last night... Yes.

...there was a guy in there.

And he was going through my stuff.

And then he... I ran out.

And then he came running after me.

And I ran down by the wharf.

And he shot at me.

I don't... He was shooting.

And then I made believe that I was hit.

And I fell off into the bay.

Yeah.

How do you know that he was shooting at you?

You don't know when somebody is shooting at you.

I was the only one out there on the wharf.

I was out there all by myself.

I'm old enough to know when somebody is shooting at me.

Okay. Sit down over here.

Of course he was shooting at me.

Are you sure? - Get him a shot.

He almost got a second chance.

He what? - He almost got a second chance.

How did that happen?

When I came up out of the water... I was underneath the wharf.

And I looked at him.

And there he was in my public phone booth...

right there on the wharf making a phone call.

You saw him.

I saw him.

Did he see you?

No. He didn't see me. No.

But you was looking at him.

I was looking right at him.

You could recognize him.

I couldn't miss him.

Attaboy. Here. Pumped at him.

You said my public phone booth.

My public... That's the phone you use all the time.

This is the only one I got.

That's my phone. And you know that number.

I know it. Of course I know it.

Tell me.

5550623.

5550623.

5550623.

Call Foley.

Tell him to run down that phone number.

I want every call from sundown to midnight last night.

And watch out for the long distance ones.

We can check them.

5550623.

They're going to get us.

They're going to get us.

That's the way the crazy people talk.

They're going to get all of us.

Ain't nobody going to get all of us.

Who's going to get us?

I still love it with you up front.

What do you mean?

Jonesy wasn't just one of my boys.

He was the best one that I had.

In two weeks that sucker learned to lift cuff links.

He was good.

And it was Jonesy and Grabowski, my bag man and myself.

We were working the airport.

You was working the airport.

Yeah.

You was working the airport.

You lied to me.

You was at that airport and you didn't tell me.

You're supposed to be a good friend of my father's.

How come you lied to me like that?

I was scared.

What are you scared of? What?

I was scared.

Look, if you got one tenth of blood that your old man had, I know you're a good cop.

You got to be good.

So what?

But they tell me out on the street that you're tough.

And that scares you?

Maybe I am tough.

I'm tough like you are, old man.

That's how come we survive on the streets.

But now you're wrong.

You're wrong because you're picking pockets.

And you're wrong because you're teaching kids how to pick pockets.

And now you taught one kid and he's dead.

And that blood's on you.

All right.

All right, what do you want me to say?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry, man.

Be smart. And that's dumb.

Wait a minute.

We'll reason it out now together.

You was at the airport with your ace kid, Jonesy.

He was there.

The bag man, Grabowski.

And you was watching the store.

Now Jonesy got nailed right there at the airport.

Somebody snuffed him there.

Then somebody come ransacking your place.

And then they try to kill you.

They're looking for the goods.

They was looking for them on the kid and they're looking for them on you.

Who's holding the goods?

No, no, no.

Grabowski's got the goods.

Then that's where we gotta be.

That's the guy we gotta go see right now.

Look what we got here.

Look at all these cows, man.

I hope we ain't too late, old crookersack.

201.

Yeah, that's it, that's it.

Stay there, Charlie. What do you got?

Kid named Grabowski is dead.

Just wait a few minutes.

Hi, Paul.

Hey, Tony.

This is the landlady.

She found the body, Tony.

Ma'am, just come over here for a second.

Stay with this officer.

Keep the door closed. Hey, man.

Come on in, man.

Nobody in or out.

Stay where you are, man.

Hi, Fatsy.

What do you got?

He was shot in the neck at close range.

It looked like a .38.

Yeah, you ain't gonna find no powder burns either.

On the count of it was a silencer.

And you look for the slug, you ain't gonna find that because he was a pro.

The same guy that dusted that kid at the airport.

A minute hand.

Officer, take the landlady outside for me, okay, please.

Sit down right here.

I know, I know, I know.

Now, listen. Hey, Stanley.

Any of this stuff get dusted yet?

No, not yet.

All right, I'll be careful with it.

Don't look over here.

Try real hard to remember exactly everything that was in that bag.

Now, no mistakes.

First of all, how many wallets?

13 wallets.

Two watches.

Cigarette cases.

Two gold cigarette cases.

And three passport cases.

One, two, one.

How many?

Three. Three passport cases.

How do you know that?

Because I remember there were two cheap ones,

you know, sort of a vinyl kind of stuff.

I got them right here.

And it was one that was really first class, man.

We could really get some scratch for it.

It was a brown alligator with 14 karat gold corners on it.

Yeah.

That's it, Nopke.

All the killing is about his passport.

The cat wants his passport so we can't identify him.

Now he's got it.

Identify him.

What else do you do with a passport?

He's getting out of the country.

You'll leave the country.

That's what you do with a passport.

I got to call the boss.

We're back now to the airports and bus stations and all that kind of stuff.

The list that you gave me.

Laying right on your desk.

We get the pass on your list, we find out if there's any kind

of a no-show going to Europe or any place out of the country.

It's going to narrow it down.

Hello.

Yes, Baretta. Give me the boss right now.

It's going to narrow it down to maybe one or two people.

Hello, boss?

Yeah, this is Tony.

I'm over here at this Grabowski, the kid who just got killed.

Let me tell you what else I got.

I don't want to know what you got so far.

Now, you listen to me.

Billy just phoned Foley about the phone numbers you wanted run down.

There's only one long distance call there.

It's to Angus McLaren in Miami.

You got that?

Now, if you're working on something that will help

that senator, you better let me in on it, huh?

No.

I'm not working on it.

I'm still working on the airport thing.

What are you doing with McLaren, huh?

The hit guy calls him.

He's connected with him.

He's working for him.

Huh?

The senator is trying to put McLaren away, right?

You're right.

And McLaren has got a hit out on the senator, boss.

24 hours a day.

We've got to get that senator.

We've got to cover him. Now, look.

The senator's on his way to the airport.

He's going out of town right now.

I'll call his security officer right now and leave them.

Get there with a squad of men.

You get there now.

Wait a minute.

I got something else for you.

Uh, Minnanhan.

Minnanhan told me that he could identify the

guy that roused this place and try to kill him.

You're telling me the truth now?

Tony, it's the truth. That's the truth.

Hey, man, I could spot that cat in a dark closet.

All right. You're going to have to.

You don't have to go through with this thing.

You understand me?

I understand, brother.

Grabowski and Jonesy were my boys, man.

I'm going to do this.

All right. All right.

Do it good, though.

Be careful. All right?

OK.

I'll watch it.

Scoot on.

Where's your boss?

Hi. I've started.

Airport security.

You Baretta?

Here.

Send to get here yet?

No, but when he does, we'll hustle him around and board him through the service gate.

No one has to get within 100 yards of him.

I don't think that's a good idea.

He gets on an airplane, goes to the next city and tries to kill him there.

He's hanging up right here.

Brubaker.

I just told Baretta that we can slip the senator through the service gate,

then we can... And I told him, like you said, it's our city.

Two murders. We want him here.

We want him now.

I'm not running a shooting gallery.

You get your eyeball witness here.

He's in there eyeballing.

OK, then you go take care of business.

The senator should at least be given a choice.

All right, I'll give him a lot more than that.

I have a small problem.

I know you can be of help.

Hold it, mister.

Hey, hey, hey!

I'm with the cops!

Oh, sure you are.

I've seen your work. I know your work.

Cody!

Cody's down there.

I'll take the senator through security.

All right.

Tony, OK.

You need an ambulance? No.

I'm OK.

How's everybody else?

Everybody's doing fine.

We're good.

Everybody except Foley.

Hey, Senator Foley, give him a look.

You like that, huh?

You're looking good?

Just like Barrymore.

You lied to me, Baretta.

It hurt a lot.

You know, I think you better get me to the hospital.

Maybe a beer would do just as well.

I'll get you a beer, Foley. Come on.

Don't get him drunk.

Mother will kill you.

Yeah, come on.

You're never gonna fool him.

Mix that up there like that.

That's the smartest bird you've ever seen.

All right. Now, you watch this.

Go ahead.

What's the matter? What'd you do there?

You missed it.

Go ahead. Keep going.

There's nothing there.

Go ahead, sucker, turn it over.

There's nothing. There's one more.

That's the first... You old lying croc of sack.

Listen to me, you.

Hey, you had it in your hand all the time.

Oh, that's not right.

Baretta, you told me you wasn't never gonna cheat again.

Here you are not only cheating that bird, but you're

cheating this honorable old drunk here how to cheat.

Don't care about the honorable drunk.

He cheated a nice innocent bird.

No, no, Tony, come on now.

No, I did promise you... I promised that I was gonna turn over a new leaf.

And I am, and I promised you that I was gonna get you a present.

You call that a new leaf?

Where's the present anyway?

Tony, come...

Who's that?

Probably right there.

Hey, all right.

What you got? What is this?

It's the present.

It's over here.

It's the present.

Tony, what's the matter with you, man?

Now I believe you.

All the boys are gonna give up, dip in, and the old master himself is giving it up.

What are we gonna do with these?

We're gonna return them to the rightful owners.

That's my man.

Hey, Foley, you look... Sit down, partner.

What's the matter with you?

You sick?

No, no, no.

It's that thing at the airport.

What thing at the airport?

The shooting, you know.

Much too violent.

Oh, he's a little nervous.

Much too violent.

Look, I gotta get him to something else in the department.

Something safe, you know, like... Another line of work in the department?

Like confiscated property department, you know, that's... That's pretty safe.

Yeah, you know, behind a desk.

I'm not a desk job.

You think that'd be a problem, Billy?

Well, I don't know.

You know, it might be that only time I remember one fella got transferred to a

desk department, he and his wife had had a little

argument that night, and she came in with a rolling pin.

He was sitting there, and it was the first

time she ever caught him as a sitting target.

Right between the eyes, she got him.

Only talk with words of one syllable after that.

There's no place to go.

D.O.A.

D.O.A.

Dead on arrival.

Any place that's quiet!
