Lieutenant.

-I have Martin Rome, 357 Court St. Ok?
-Good enough.

Age 29, appendix
removed 4 years ago.

Knife scar in shoulder,
blood type A.

-No further record.
-No records?

Please.

What do you want? For five years
he pulls every trick in the book.

Tonight he holds up a
restaurant and kills a cop.

-No record?
-I mean medical, sir.

Why did they do this to him?

Marty.

Marty.

Teena.

-You shouldn't have come.
-I had to come, Marty.

The radio said
you were badly hurt.

-It said you were...
-Go away, Teena.

Don't get mixed up in this.

Oh, Marty.

Why did you have to shoot?

Why did you kill?

I had to.

I thought we could...

Marty, does it hurt terribly?

Kiss me.

I can die now.

Oh, Marty. Marty.

Lieutenant, we bill the
Police Department on this right?

-Right.
-Keep him alive and...

...we'll give you a bonus.
-Shall I have his wife...

...sign the release for the operation?
-Well, I don't think he has a wife.

Well, I thought that girl
in there...

-What girl?
-The girl who's in there now.

You sure you saw a dame?

Collins.

I tell you this is a matter of
a man's life. I've got to see him.

But Dr. Williams is
operating immediately.

-I can't let you go up.
-Hi, Counselor.

Lieutenant Collins.

Niles, I didn't know that chasing
ambulances was quite in your line.

Please, this is serious.
Is Martin Rome still alive?

Just about.

-You've got to let me see him.
-He hasn't got a quarter.

I'm not interested
in defending a cop-killer.

-I knew McReady, too.
-Yeah.

What do you want
to talk to Rome about?

lf he's dying,
I want a confession from him.

He can save an innocent man.

Confession to what?

His implication
in the de Grazia case.

The de Grazia case? You're crazy.
We're holding Whitey Leggett on that.

All we need is to get...

That 's right.
Leggett 's my client.

I admit it, and he's got
plenty against him...

...but he didn't do
the de Grazia job.

And if I can talk to Martin Rome
I can prove it.

Torturing old ladies?

I don't think Rome goes in for that.

Candella, please, time is precious.

You know I wouldn't come
over here in the middle of the night...

on a wild goose chase.
This is a man's life.

-Maybe we'd better let him.
-Okay.

lf it 's alright with the doctor,
it 's alright with me.

-It 's in his hands now.
-Thank you.

Rome, can you hear me?

This is Niles, the lawyer.
Do you understand?

I want you to concentrate
just for a few seconds.

Rome, they're holding
Whitey Leggett.

Whitey Leggett...
for the de Grazia case.

He didn't do it, Rome.
He did not do it.

You know that.
You can save him.

Rome...

...you're in bad shape.
You may not pull out.

Don't go with this on your soul.

Please, Rome, just tell us
you were in on the de Grazia case.

Rome, you don't have to say
anything. Just nod. You killed her.

Just nod.
You killed Mrs. de Grazia.

Go...

...fry.
-Rome, please...

just listen to me
for a moment, will you?

That 's all.
He's unconscious again.

-Just for another minute.
-Listen, sir...

...if we don't get your friend
to surgery he'll never come to.

That 's tough.

I did my best.
Did you catch what he said there?

-I think he...
-I heard him.

He told you to go fry.
I think he meant it.

lf you want us to say that
in court, we'll be glad to.

Of course, of course.

Here you are, Lieutenant,
all ready for you.

-Thanks, Julio. How you doing?
-Oh, I ain't kicking.

How's that Marty Rome making out?

-Is he gonna live?
-Yeah, I think so.

Pretty rough for a couple of days,
but I think he'll pull through.

I see his mother heading for
church every day this week.

I think he'd've save them
some grief if he'd've croaked.

Maybe you're right, Julio.
See you tomorrow.

Take it easy, Lieutenant.

Close enough?

I haven't the strength.

Miss Pruett.

Yes?

Would you see if it 's
close enough, please?

Nurse.

Well?

-What do you want?
-Could I talk to you a minute?

I thought I ought to tell you that
Rome's a pretty bad boy...

...with the women.
-Just what has that to do with me?

Oh, nothing, really. I just thought
I would tell you in case.

Look, Lieutenant. I�ve been working
around here for a good many years...

and I don't expect anyone to tell
me how to care for patients.

-I beg your pardon.
-You should.

-She's pretty hot, huh, Candella?
-Smart guy.

-We ought to throw you in a cell.
-Full of bullet holes. Every place...

you look a bullet hole. Even the
doctor says he can't understand.

lf you're looking for sympathy, Rome,
save it. I just left Mrs. McReady...

the wife of the guy you killed,
you murdering rat.

She looked fine. Eyes all red.
Tears streaming down her face.

And you lie here
getting shaved.

I ought to haul you out
of that bed and beat you.

Go ahead. Beat me. I'll die.

Yell at me, I faint.

You'll answer questions
I�ve got to ask you and...

you can drop that fancy lingo, see?
Listen to me.

-Marty.
-Yes, Lieutenant.

-Is this your ring?
-Yeah.

Yeah, that 's mine.

-You got the rest of my stuff, too?
-Where'd you get it?

How about it, Marty?
Where did you get it?

I don't know.
Crap game two or three months ago.

It 's alright, huh?
I do pretty good with the dice.

-Who from?
-From...

Blond fellow.
Yeah, with a droopy eye.

Leggett! Whitey Leggett.

You wouldn't know we were holding
Whitey Leggett on the de Grazia...

...case, would you?
-Who else was in the game?

-I don't know. Tommy Mills, maybe.
-Tommy Mills is dead.

Look, Candella, what do you
ask me all this stuff for?

I win a ring,
so what 's the difference?

Come in, nurse.
We'll only be a minute.

Marty... this ring is part of the
collection stolen from Mrs. de Grazia.

-Not by me.
-A hundred thousand dollars worth.

-Maybe you read about it.
-Nope.

We're pretty anxious to get
whoever did it.

They tortured the old lady 'till they
found out where she kept the stuff.

Then they strangled her.
Not very pretty, huh?

You got Whitey Leggett.
Go talk to him.

We will, but we want
to talk to you, too.

Look, Candella, I shot a policeman.
He shot at me.

Now I�m going to the chair.
Suppose I say I did it.

So what? I go twice?
I had nothing to do with it.

-Besides, a fellow and his girl did it.
-Uh-huh. So you do read the papers.

You got a smart partner.

Look, I never worked with a girl
in my life. Talk too much. Ya-ta-ta.

Who was the girl that was here
the night they brought you in?

Girl?
I thought it was a dream.

-There was a girl here, huh?
-Yes, Marty.

-Who was she?
-I don't know.

I wish I did.

-What did she look like, Marty?
-An angel.

I thought maybe...
maybe I was dead.

Alright. Cut it out, Marty.
Look, we found one of the...

de Grazia rings on you. We know
that the girl was here that night.

Now stop the monkey business
and tell me who she was.

I tell you, I don't know.
I never saw her before.

Okay, Marty,
but you'll be seeing her again...

because we're going to find her
and don't think for a minute we won't.

Come on, Collins.

-Here, take this.
-No.

-You've got to. Here.
-I'd sooner die.

Something heavy here
presses on me.

-Your conscience.
-Did you hear those two?

They say I tortured an old lady.
Me. Martin Rome.

Miss Pruett, you're a nurse.
You know people.

-Do you think I�d do that?
-You killed a policeman.

He had me down.
It was him or me.

Miss Pruett,
you must do something.

-Do something. For you?
-No, not for me.

This is for a girl. My girl.

No, wait, please.

You heard the police.
They said I had an accomplice. A girl.

I swear to you this girl is innocent.

-She hasn't anything to worry about.
-But she has. She's a child.

lf they pick her up and question her,
she won't know what to do.

She won't have a chance. Miss Pruett,
you've got to help me. You've got to...

-There's nothing I can do. l...
-But there is.

Look, her name is Teena.
Teena Riconti.

Not even the police know.
I�m telling you because I trust you.

This is her address.
Twenty-five Bank Street.

Where did you get
the pencil and paper?

Please. Just go to her and tell
her to go away. Tell her to hide.

lf you think you can talk
me into that, you're crazy.

Just see her. Look at her.
You'll know.

Here.

I have police permission
to talk to him.

Well, go ahead.

-Hello, Martin. How are you?
-Oh, fine. We go bowling, huh?

At least your mind's alright.

-Martin, I�m going to defend you.
-Why?

-I think I can get you off.
-You talk pretty good.

I think I like this.
How are you going to do it?

There are angles.
Self-defense.

McReady's killed a
couple of other men.

I�ll need your complete
confidence, though.

Of course.

The D.A. thinks you were in
on the de Grazia case.

Might not be a bad idea
to admit it.

-Why?
-That 's the angle.

The whole city's on the D.A. 's neck
over the de Grazia case.

Robbery and murder.

For a confession I think
he might make a deal.

-Second degree.
-Second degree, huh?

No chair. It 's not bad.

As long as you're alive
there's always probation.

Might take time, but...

But if I confess, so what?

How am I gonna prove it?
I got no jewels.

I don't know how the job was done.

Yes.

There's a chance I might get
one or two pieces of it.

I wondered why you
came in the other night.

You thought I was too sick
to remember, huh?

''Tell them you did it, Rome.

Don't go with this
on your soul, Rome''.

-I remember. You rat!
-Now wait a minute, Marty.

Go ahead, get out.
Get out, you crook.

You think I don't know you
work for Whitey Leggett?

You think I lie here
and count my fingers?

You think I�m gonna
take a rap for you?

-Get out! Go confess yourself.
-Don't get excited, Marty.

I�m sorry. I shouldn't have
tried to pull that on you.

Be practical, my friend.
You're going to the chair anyway.

-You killed a cop. You can't beat that.
-Get out!

Homicide is beginning to think
you and your girl did the job.

-I got no girl, Niles.
-Of course you haven't.

But what would you think
of ten thousand dollars, Marty?

lf you had a girl, ten thousand
would take her a long way.

You haven't, so we'll give it
to your mother.

Think of it, Marty.
Ten thousand dollars...

for a couple of lines that don't
mean anything to you anyway.

I think I�ll call that cop
and have him throw you out.

They're looking for that girl, Marty.
Looking hard.

Let them look.

She must be beautiful, Marty.

You always could pick them.

Dark, I bet...

with a face like
a Madonna, huh, Marty?

-Niles.
-Young, too.

You better knock off that yapping.

The police can't find her, Marty,
but maybe we can.

Maybe we can even make
the police believe she did it.

They might not.
Not the way she is now, Marty...

But if we worked on her
for a couple of days...

maybe she wouldn't be so sure herself.
Maybe she wouldn't look the same.

Maybe even you wouldn't
recognize her.

-Maybe she would be...
-You pig!

I�ll tear your dirty tongue out!

-Help!
-I�ll kill you. I�ll kill you. I�ll kill you.

Nurse! Nurse!

He tried to kill me.

Teena. Teena.

-Sedative.
-Teena.

Teena.

You will find the figures correct,
Signor Vaseli.

Certainly.

The cash balance is thirty-seven
dollars and eighty-three cents.

There's then, twenty, thirty,
thirty-five...

thirty six, thirty-seven.

I took eight cents
for carfare the last time.

-Please.
-I beg you.

Brother...

the Society has instructed me
as the president...

to thank you for your long
and honorable service...

that you rendered
to our organization.

We hope...

Well, we hope sometime...

Mario, my dear friend.

I�m very sorry.

Mama! Mama!

Mama! Policeman!

Blackberries! Blackberries!

I�m sorry about what happened, you
understand, but it 's not my fault.

The other night
we had a meeting...

Lieutenant Candella!

Hello.

This way, please.

-Hi, Caputo.
-Hello, Candella.

I�ll be back in a minute.

-Won't you be seated?
-Thanks, Mama Roma.

-I can only stay for a few minutes.
-Sit down a minute.

You keep company
to the Lieutenant Candella.

I will only take off my apron.

Mama, you shouldn't have done that.

You drink first.

-How is Martino?
-He's alright, Mama.

They moved him
from the hospital today.

-Moved?
-Yes, to prison.

Vittorio...

what will they do to him?

Well, first he'll be tried. Then...

I don't know.

Then...

You know perfectly well, Mama,
that he killed a policeman.

Yes.

I can't understand why he did it.

Martin was always
such a good boy.

-He sent me money every week.
-Sure he sent you money, Mama.

But how did he send you money?
What kind of work did he do?

I don't know.

I don't know.
But Martino is very smart, you know.

-Very smart boy.
-Very smart.

He should have married and
settled down like you and Papa.

Yes.

-Didn't he have a girl?
-Sure. Angelica Norelli.

I made a contract
with her father, Norelli, but...

-Any other girl?
-No, no other girls.

-He liked Carmen Domingo.
-Perdita!

Well, he told me so.

-Well, I think I�ll be getting along.
-Just one minute, Lieutenant.

Leave us alone.
Go, all of you.

Vittorio, please, tell me something.
What they going to do to him?

-Do you think Martino will be.
-Hey, Mama!

Mama, that snoopy Candella's
in the neighborhood.

Don't tell him that...

Hello, Tony.

-Don't tell him what?
-Don't tell you nothing, copper.

Antonio, you talk
polite to the police.

Excuse him, Vittorio,
he's nothing but a child.

Lieutenant, will you see Martino?

Well, I hadn't planned to.

-Please, you give him this for me.
-Well, Mama, l...

Please.

-Okay, I�ll give it to him.
-Thank you.

After all, she's his mother.

Now just a minute, Mama.

-Did you put a saw in it?
-Oh, no. A little hot soup.

And tell him we all love him.
Please Vittorio, will you?

Goodbye, Mama.

-You don't like it, huh?
-It 's fine, Mr. Ledbetter.

When do you change the sheets?
Decoration Day?

You want them changed
you gotta pay.

-How much?
-A deuce.

-I�ll give you a buck.
-Two.

I�ll talk to the night man.

Okay, wise guy, a buck.

Alright, you mallet-head,
what are you doing?

Get moving.

Crazy old cluck.

Mallet-head, cluck.
Who's he think he's talking to?

Every day he tells me that.

Aw, don't let him bother you.
He's a big boob.

That 's right. Big boob.

Call me a cluck.

Hey...

you're Martin Rome, ain't you?
You killed a cop, huh?

-I�m Orvy. I�m a trusty.
-Hello, Orvy.

Want to break out of here, Marty?

-What?
-Break out. It 's easy.

This ain't no prison,
just a plain old hospital.

You break out, Ledbetter gets
blamed and they throw him out.

They throw him out.

-It 's kind of tough, isn't it?
-It 's nothing.

You can do it, Marty.

Look.

How does it work?

I�ll show you.

I been here three months.
They don't know I know that.

Wait till I get my keys, Lieutenant.

Lock it, Orvy!

I�ll only be a few minutes.

Take your time, Lieutenant,
take your time.

-I�ll leave the door open for you.
-Thanks.

Some soup from your mother.

Mama. How is she?

How do you think?

Yeah.

-How's Papa and the kids?
-Okay.

I saw your brother, Tony.

-He's a great boy, huh?
-Yeah.

-I bet he told you where to head in.
-Great boy.

He thinks you're a hero, Marty.

Six or eight years from now
I�ll be chasing him, too.

Maybe.
He'll have plenty of fun first.

Do you think it 's worth it, Marty?

How much money you make, Candella?

Ninety-four dollars
and forty-three cents a week.

Ninety-four dollars and
forty-three cents. Don't go far.

Ever go to Florida for
a couple of weeks?

Or bet a hundred bucks on a horse?

Or give a girl a bunch of orchids
just 'cause you like her smile?

-No, but I sleep good nights.
-In some cheap room.

Not me. I had enough of
that when I�m a kid.

Crumby tenements.
No food. No clothes.

Save it for the jury, Marty.

Who do you think you're kidding?

I was brought up
in the district, too.

I�ve heard that dialogue
from you poolroom hotshots...

ever since I was ten years old.
Get hep.

Only suckers work. Don't be square.
Stay with the smart money.

Let the old man get
calluses digging ditches.

No food, no clothes.
Crumby tenements.

-You're breaking my heart, Marty.
-Okay. You played it your way.

I played it mine.

Think it 's worth the chair?

I don't know.
I haven't tried yet.

Maybe you won't mind.
You'd be the center of attention.

Me, I kind of think of afterwards.

You know when they slide that
pine box through the back door...

and somebody in the family
has to identify it...

...before they can take it away.
-Alright, alright. I do what I do.

-I get the chair. Nobody else.
-Yeah. What about the girl, Marty?

What about...

You mean the angel?

-You mean you haven't found her?
-No.

-You look a long time, Candella.
-Stop clowning, Marty. Look!

I�ll play square with you.

lf you're shielding an innocent girl,
tell me who she is.

lf her story checks with yours,
I�ll call the dogs off.

-There's no girl, Candella.
-Okay.

I�ll have to keep on looking.
It 's kind of dull work.

-You certainly picked some pips.
-What do you mean?

Well, how about this little number,
Constancia Lopez?

-Well.
-And Brenda Martingale.

-Oh, brother...
-Not as young as she used to be.

And Maria. Helen. Patricia.

Rachael. Rosarita.

Rosarita. She'd be a fine one to take
on a job. They'd hear you in Newark.

Yeah, but one of them
may be the one I want, Marty.

-You're crazy.
-Maybe. Guard!

Coming up, Lieutenant.

There there's Elena,
Andrea and Teena.

Teena Riconti.
Know her, Marty?

-I don't know any Teena.
-I will.

I�ll tell you about her.

Orvy!

Orvy!

Orvy!

I got to get out. Now.
Give me that spoon.

No, Marty, no. Not now.
You can't make it.

-I got it all timed.
-When?

-Well, let�s see. Tomorrow.
-Tomorrow? I can't wait.

Maybe Ledbetter won't be here
tomorrow and they can't blame him.

Yeah. Maybe that 's right. Look!

I bring your tray
for lunch at eleven.

I gotta fix it so you got a pass.

I go fix it so you got
a pass waiting at the desk.

-Yeah.
-In the name of Tony Guarino.

-Tony Guarino.
-Yeah.

-Orvy, are you sure this'll work?
-Sure, I�ve been working on it.

Orvy!

I told you what was gonna happen
if I catch you wasting time.

Get your bucket
and get out of here!

-Mr. Ledbetter.
-What?

-The guy in number four.
-Yeah?

I think he wants to make
a deal for them cigars.

Orvy...

...you sure this'll work?
-Oh, sure, Marty.

You can't miss.
You just go like I said.

-How about the pass?
-It 's there, Marty. Honest.

-Don't forget. Tony Guarino.
-lf you're trying to pull...

...something on me. I�ll...
-Oh, no, Marty, no.

Gee, I told you they don't figure
a guy tries to break out of here.

-Why haven't you tried?
-I ain't got it any more, Marty.

Bum ticker.
I tried it once, honest...

but she just goes bump, bump.

You ain't scared like that,
are you Marty?

No, no. Get out.
Leave me alone.

Come on. Come on.
Get the led out.

Marty, come on,
you only got a couple of minutes.

-Come on.
-Shut up!

Visitor? You were supposed
to be out at eleven.

-Name?
-Tony Guarino.

Brother, huh?
Who wrote this for you?

Must be a new guy downstairs.
He writes like a three-year-old.

Sign here.

Hey.

Turn this pass in
at the end of the tunnel.

-You coming, Ledbetter?
-Yeah.

Oh, wait a minute.
I forgot my keys.

I should wait for that joker.

First visit?

-First time here, isn't it?
-Yeah.

I can tell. There's something
about a guy's first time.

-Nervous or something.
-I suppose so.

Hey!

Just a minute.

Yeah. Okay.
Just a minute. I�ll look it up.

He's in there.
We checked after we got your call.

-And?
-Ten minutes ago...

he asked for Teena Riconti
then he went up.

-Yeah.
-Did you cover all the exits?

-By the best men in the precinct.
-Good.

A dame on the 2nd floor's gonna
give us a pitch when he leaves.

-Let 's go in and get him.
-That 's it. He's coming out.

-Have the boys take him now?
-Wait a minute.

That 's his kid brother, Tony.

I should have known
he'd do something like this.

Hey, looks like
he's coming in here.

-Jim, watch him. He knows me.
-Right.

Mr. Angelo, please.

-It 's for you.
-Thanks.

Yeah?

I�ve been in the apartment of that
woman. There was no one there.

I looked for the owner of the house
but she's very stupid.

I talked for a quarter of an hour.
She wouldn't talk.

She didn't remember.
It was just like talking to the wall.

Look, that 's a good idea.
Don't you think?

-Okay, I got it. I�ll see you later.
-See you later.

The piece of paper, Tony.

What are you doing?
Trying to kill me?

Be quiet.

Algonquin five-five-o-two.

There's a number missing.
What is it, Tony?

lf I remembered it
I wouldn't 've wrote it down.

-I don't know.
-Call them all, Jim.

Five-five-o-two-one.
Five-five-o-two-two.

Five-five-o-two-three.

I want a report on who lives
in that building across the street.

Right. How about this one?

Take him home and have his mama
give him a good spanking.

-Algonquin five-five-o-what?
-Two-o.

-He should be here any minute.
-That 's alright.

I�d like to get him to sign these
papers so I could go to lunch.

I�m really surprised he's so late.

I�ll sign them and
we'll both go to lunch.

I�m sorry I�m so late, Vera.

I wanted to talk to the Judge.

-Any calls?
-Nothing important.

Mr. Angelo's been waiting.

Oh, yes, Mr. Angelo.
Come on in.

-Mr. Niles.
-Yes?

Would you want to sign
these letters now?

I�ll only be a few minutes, Vera.

Surprised, Mr. Niles?

A little...

but then you're
a pretty fast worker, Marty.

Push back a little, huh, Niles. There're
too many buttons around there.

Now listen, Marty...
don't come in here and get tough.

I do business with
your kind every day.

Tough?

Who wants to get tough?
This is business.

You come to the hospital
to see me, I come to see you.

That business about your girl.

-You know that was just a bluff.
-Sure, that was just a bluff.

That was a pretty good deal
you made me, Niles.

Ten thousand would
take me a long way.

I think I sign that confession.

That confession was only good
while the cops had you, Marty.

Not good now, huh?
It 's too bad.

-You better just loan it to me.
-Loan it to you?

-Ten thousand dollars?
-I got no money.

l...

Well. I don't keep that kind
of money here, Marty.

But if this will help.

Maybe you got some more
in the safe, huh?

-No. I never keep cash in the office.
-Let 's open it and see.

Now let's stop this nonsense, Rome.
I�ve given you all I�m.

You! Listen you!

Let's open it, huh?

There's nothing there
but legal papers.

Okay.
Let's take a look.

-See?
-Taken them out.

Bring it here.

Why you? No!

Open it.

-I haven't the key.
-Come on, open it.

The de Grazia jewels!

Now I think we'll talk.

Whitey Leggett and the girl...
You ran the job.

-Who was the girl?
-I don't know anything about it.

Niles, I killed a policeman.
I kill you.

-It makes no difference.
-Marty, no.

-Come on. Who was the girl?
-She was some friend of Whitey's.

Some girl in show business.
I didn't know her. I told him.

-What was the name?
-I didn't even know her.

What was the name?

Rose.

Rose Given.
Something like that.

Marty.
Dinner is ready.

-Your leg hurts badly?
-Yeah, pretty bad.

-I guess I�d better get it fixed.
-Wait a minute.

You better eat first.

I go on the corner to the drugstore.
Tell him to get out before I come back.

-Wait a minute.
-This is my house.

I gotta fix my leg, Mama.

Get me some bandages,
salve and a clean shirt.

Yes.

I�ll get the scissors
and cut off your bandages.

Never mind, Mama.

I�ll do it later.

-Marty, why do you do these things?
-I don't know, Mama.

You get going on something
like this, you can't stop.

First a policeman and now. Now they
say you killed another man today.

Is this true, Marty?

Yeah.

-I killed him. I had to kill him.
-Why?

Why must you kill, Marty?
Why? I can't understand.

You, Marty, my first...
my best baby.

The one who send me money.
The one I pray for every night.

-Why must you kill?
-Mama, don't!

I loved you, Martino,
more than the rest of them...

because you were my first.

You sent me money but you
never told me where it came from.

I didn't ask.
That was my fault.

In here, I knew, but I didn't ask.

-That was my sin.
-Mama! It 's not you.

-I did it myself. I did it for a girl.
-Sure, sure, Marty.

-With you it 's always a girl.
-Mama, Teena's different.

I love her. Can't you believe that?
I love her.

No. You don't love her.

You have no feelings for people.
You only care for Marty.

Mama.

Do you believe that I love you?

Then you must believe
that I love this girl.

She's my life, Mama.

She's good and she's beautiful.

When a man tell me
that he will hurt her...

that he will give her to the police,
this man I must kill.

-Do you understand, Mama?
-No.

Love I know.

Love that has to come through
killing cannot last.

-Mama, I tell you.
-I tell you!

I tell you, you cannot kill!

-I tell you are bad, Martino!
-Alright. I did it. So what?

You can't bring a man
back to life.

Mama, I�m so tired.

I�m so cold and my leg hurts.
I�ve got to sleep and rest.

I�ll get your coat, Marty.
The heavy one.

Mama, I tell you I got
to sleep here.

I�ll bring your coat.

Because he said so,
you would throw me out like a...

This is my home too.

There are other children.
You must go, Marty.

I�ll bring you food
and you will go.

It 's Tony.

How about that flatfoot?

Twice around the block
and he's walking in circles.

-What about Teena?
-Nothing except what I told you, Marty.

Just that a dame came and
took her away two days ago.

-No address. No nothing.
-But the woman.

-What did she look like?
-Well l. I don't know.

Kind of heavy and
tall and middle-aged...

a blue cape,
I think the landlady said.

What 's the matter, Marty?
Is that okay?

It 's okay. Tony, good boy.

Now get the scissors
and we'll take the bandage off.

Yeah.

Lieutenant Candella.

This way, please.

Hello, Mama Roma.

I didn't expect you.

-Won't you be seated?
-Let 's sit in the kitchen, Mama.

It 's so much warmer there.

-Besides, it smells so good.
-In the kitchen, Vittorio?

lf you sit here I�ll bring you
anything you like.

-Minestrone.
-Yes.

-That smells wonderful, Mama.
-Good, but cold.

It 's cold now. I prepared it
for Tony but he's not home yet.

Sit down. I�ll give you
a nice hot bowl of soup.

I want to see Tony, Mama.

I think I should talk to him.

Why sure, sure.

-Has he been bad?
-No, not really bad.

Not yet.

-Isn't that his cap?
-Why?

Yeah. Tony's cap.

That boy always goes out
without a hat.

Here. Good and hot.

-I�m sorry, but I�ve got to look around.
-Don't move, Candella!

Put your hands on the table.

Stand away, Mama.

Tony.

Get his gun.

Stay where you are, Tony.

There won't be any shooting
in this house while Mama's here.

I�m disappointed in you, Marty.

-You're a big boy now.
-You're a pretty funny fellow.

You don't think I�ll shoot.

Just make a move, Candella,
we'll see.

So that 's your hero, huh. Tony?
He breaks out of jail, fools the cops...

talks big with a gun in his hand.
Look at him, Tony.

His leg shot full of holes, fever going
up, no place to go, no place to sleep.

Just run, run, run,
until he can't run any more.

Escape.
Escape to where?

Look at him, Tony.
He's a dead man.

Make an Italian a cop
he's gotta make a speech.

Okay, Candella.

Maybe you catch me,
maybe you don't.

See you later.

I�m sorry, Mama.

You big, stupid cop.
You got her crying.

It'll be better if she
only cries for one of you.

-Yeah? Well he got away, copper.
-He won't go far.

Sit down, Tony.
I wanna talk to you.

Sit down!

I found her, Marty. Here.

Hey!

What 's the matter, Marty?

-I fell asleep.
-I found her. Madame Rose.

Good. Good girl.

Take me up there.

I can't keep driving around.
They'll catch us.

They'll pinch me with you, Marty.

-Take me to Rose Given.
-No!

You said I could go as soon as I found
her. You promised me, didn't you?

Hey, Marty!
What 's the matter?

Marty, don't.
You'll get us both in an awful mess.

What am I gonna do?

Drive!
We cannot stay here.

Is it bad?
Is he gonna die?

I don't know. Keep quiet.
Just drive.

I can't just drive around.
Somebody's going to see us.

I have no license to practice.
We cannot stop.

You must drive. I�m sorry.

These are bullet wounds.
You did not tell me.

I was scared
you wasn't gonna come.

It is against the law
whatever I do, but this...

this will cost you more.

-I need money. Two hundred.
-Alright. I don't care. He's got it.

He has torn these
wounds by moving.

They fester.
He must be in bed.

-Can you fix him?
-Only for a short time.

He must get treatment
and I must have light.

-Quickly. Pull in.
-I can't. They'll see us.

Pull in. Do you want him to die?
Pull in somewhere.

Come back here!

-What shall I do?
-Open his collar.

I don't have any brandy.

My wife is sick.
I gave it to her and forgot it.

-I need some spirits.
-''Spirits''?

Whiskey, brandy, anything.

-Quick. Hurry.
-Alright.

Doc, will you please hurry?
Please.

There you are.

Junior, why don't you
be a nice boy and beat it?

That 's no way to talk to a fellow.

What ' s the matter?
Your boyfriend pass out?

Look, bud, you're
a little overtrained, aren't you?

Why don't you get out of here
before I lose my temper?

All I want to do is help
if the guy is folded up.

Look, honey,
you really wanna help me?

I left my purse in the bar.
Why don't you go in and get it for me?

Delighted.
Anything to be of service to a lady.

How is he?

He'll be alright for the time being.
Money.

One, two hundred.
What am I going to do with him, Doc?

Goodnight.

Hey, yo.
What did you say you lost?

Thanks, Brenda.

Marty, you're not going
to fold up again, are you?

No, I�ll be alright.
I�ll get in touch with you.

I�m sorry. We're closed.

You Rose Given?
I have to talk to you.

I said we were...
You're Martin Rome.

Come in.

My apartment 's in back.

You wanted to talk to me, Martin.

Say it quickly.
The police may be after you.

No.

I think we can do business.

-I don't think so.
-Yes, we can.

You were in on the de Grazia
case with Whitey Leggett.

That 's ridiculous.

You ought to know better than to
walk in here and to bluff me like that.

I�m glad you killed him.

He was a bad man.
Very bad.

And he shouldn't have
told you that about me.

He wasn't so bad.

He gave me the de Grazia jewels.

How do I know?

Pearl choker with a ruby pendant,
seven rings...

diamond bracelet
with clasp broken.

You must have been
in a hurry, huh?

-Where are they?
-In a locker in a subway station.

I thought if you went to all
hat trouble to get them once...

you might wanna get them again.

You're a cute little man, Martin.

I should have worked with you
instead of that fool Leggett.

Some day. You can't tell.

How much do you want
for the jewels, Martin?

A car, five thousand dollars,
a way out of the country...

...and a good night 's sleep.
-That 's a big order.

It 's a lot of jewels.

-I can take them someplace else.
-I could get you the car.

-Maybe two thousand.
-Five.

But how can I get you
out of the country?

How were you going to get out?

Or were you just going
to declare it on your income tax?

Alright, Martin.

-South America suit you?
-Any place but the Canal Zone.

Let's get the jewels.

Yeah.

No. No, I can't.
Not 'till tomorrow.

Tonight I�ve gotta sleep.

lf I can.

That 's right, Martin.
Relax.

Here.
I�ll show you something.

-That 's wonderful.
-It is good, isn't it?

I have the touch.

It 's only given to a few.

It 's a matter of knowing
the currents of the body.

And I waste this
on fat old women...

who think they can lose a few
pounds and be beautiful again.

Fat old women who have
too much money and too many jewels.

They think the jewels
make them beautiful...

and they fight to keep them like they
fight the years that make them ugly.

Give me the key
to the locker, Martin.

You don't think I�d bring it
with me, do you?

No.
I suppose not.

You're too smart for that.

Here.
Lie down and rest a while.

I�ll get you a blanket.

Cream and sugar?

Black. Both of them.

For the love of Pete,
it 's four o'clock. Let's knock off.

I�m sorry, Jim.
Why don't you go on home?

It 's just a job.
We'll get him. We can't miss.

I wanna get him too.

He's only been out a day and
you're making a vendetta out of it.

You saw his kid brother today.
He thinks it 's a big game. They all do.

They got an idea a cop pinches
apples and chases kids.

They make a Robin Hood
out of a cheap hoodlum like that.

The longer he's loose,
the bigger hero he is.

Okay. Let's face it.
We ain't Sherlock Holmeses.

This is a big town. We gotta
sit tight and wait for a break.

Staying up all night
ain't gonna help us.

-Why do you stay up all night?
-I beg your pardon?

Okay. No offense.

Just wondered why you
weren't home getting some sleep.

He's out there somewhere...

in an alley, on a roof...

looking for a way out.

He's not asleep.

Eat, Martin,
you need the strength.

I don't like to eat in the morning.
Let 's get going.

It 's only five minutes to nine.
The banks aren't open yet.

Have some coffee.
It 's good.

-You got a touch for that too, huh?
-Yeah, I like to cook.

I wanted those jewels so I could
get a place in the country.

Fresh eggs every day, milk, cream.

Oh, stop it! How long will it take you
to get the money and the tickets?

-A half, three quarters of an hour.
-Then get them.

Meet me on the corner of 22nd Street
and 4th Avenue in 45 minutes.

-And don't forget, five thousand.
-Certainly, Martin.

See that you don't lose
the key to that locker.

Don't use the front door. I wouldn't
want to give the place a bad name.

No. lf I thought he was going
to kill somebody.

I wouldn't have shown him.
Honest, I wouldn't.

-You lying little.
-Shut up, Ledbetter.

Orvy, did he say where he was going,
or anyone he was going to see?

Nothing, Lieutenant.

Honest, if I knew, I�d tell you.

They gonna give
me more time for this?

They're gonna
give me more time, huh?

-I�m afraid so, Orvy.
-They oughta give him life.

-Jim.
-Yeah?

-Find out anything?
-Not a thing.

-What 's this?
-Stuff on the dames.

-What?
-It 's a report on Rome's dames.

And we got all those
doctors ready for you.

You really like to play
long shots, don't you?

Bring Sullivan with you.

Hey, listen, Lieutenant,
this is costing me my job.

Isn�t there something
you can do?

You were in charge of the ward,
Ledbetter.

There's nothing anybody can do.
Come on, Sullivan.

-Twenty years out of my life.
-So long, cluck.

Look, Lieutenant, I wanna help
you guys as much as I can.

-Fine. Let's go.
-But I�ve got a job.

I�m late now and the
boss doesn't like it.

Okay, Sullivan, I�ll write you a
note and give you an apple for him.

At two-thirty this morning,
in a car on 54th Street...

a man with four bullet wounds
received emergency medical treatment.

A licensed physician in this city
is bound by the law...

to report any such
treatment to the police.

Lieutenant, if I am permitted,
I speak for my colleagues.

-We are doctors, yes, but...
-I know, doctor.

I don't like this any more than you do.
I realize that certain...

of you gentlemen have very high
reputations in your own countries.

However, you're not
licensed to practice here...

and this is a murder case.

Mr. Sullivan.

Mr. Sullivan, do you recognize
any of these gentlemen?

Turn around.

No, I don't think so.

Rome I�m sure of, but the other guy
was in the shadows and...

...well, I�d had a couple.
-Yeah, yeah.

Gentlemen, I must ask you all
to show me your wallets.

May I be permitted to say, sir,
this is very humiliating?

I�m very sorry, doctor,
but I must do it.

Two hundred dollars.

Where did you get
this money, Doctor?

-l... where I work l...
-Doctor...

this money came from
the safe of Arthur Niles...

the lawyer that Martin Rome
killed yesterday.

Lieutenant.

I didn't know he is a murderer.

-l... I only...
-Come with me, Doctor.

Jim, let the rest go.

Over here, Doctor.

Are you ready
to tell me about it?

Please, Lieutenant, I do not
know anything about this man.

-I treat him, they pay me. That 's all.
-What about the girl, doctor?

The girl. I do not know her.
I never ask for names.

She is blonde.

My wife, Lieutenant, she's sick.
We need money.

-Otherwise I would never do.
-I�m sorry. Sign this.

-They put me in jail?
-You knew it was against the law.

We must.

Paul.

-My wife, Lieutenant.
-We'll do all we can.

-She'll be alright.
-Thanks.

Holy smokes!

Police Headquarters.

We just got the report
on Teena Riconti.

Two people saw a woman
take her out of the apartment.

Middle aged, tall. How about Brenda?
Did they get her yet?

Give them a chance.
They only got the call ten minutes ago.

Middle aged, tall, blonde,
a little heavy.

Candella. Homicide.
Hello, Marty.

-Where are you?
-Trace the call.

No use tracing the call, Candella.
I won't be here.

What 's on your mind, Marty?

I call you up to give you
a big promotion, Candella.

-That 's very nice of you, Marty.
-Don't get sarcastic.

I�m doing you a favor.

I�m giving you the woman
in the de Grazia case.

You can pick her up
within the next twenty minutes...

at the 18th Street subway
station on the west side.

She'll be taking the stuff
out of a locker.

Aren't you gonna thank me,
Candella? No?

-See you later.
-Marty, l...

Call and get somebody
on that subway platform right away.

-You think it 's on the level?
-Sure!

What do you think that Niles
business was for? Come on!

We'll have him already
when they trace the call.

-Here it is.
-The key, Martin.

The ticket and the money.

It 's on the Star of Asia
leaving Key West on Friday.

lf you leave tonight
you'll have plenty of time.

Come on, give me that.

First we get the jewels, Martin.
Get out.

I wouldn't want any monkey
business, Martin.

Get out.

You're crazy!
I�ll be spotted down there.

Get out...

and walk just ahead of me, Martin,
and don't try to get smart.

You're crazy. lf they spot me,
they'll take you, too.

Where's the locker?

Don't try anything funny.

You're under arrest, lady.

Why the double-crossing?
Let me go!

Let me go! I didn't have
anything to do with it.

I�ll kill him.
I�ll kill him.

Let me go!

-Five o'clock should be alright.
-Lieutenant Candella?

Speak to the floor
nurse right there.

-Yes?
-I�m Lieutenant Collins, Homicide.

I understand Lieutenant Candella's
been asking for me.

Asking for you?
He nearly yelled the building down.

We had to get the interns
to administer a sedative.

He don't know when he's well off.

Put me in that bed and it 'd take
the fire department go get me out.

-How is he?
-Well, he lost a lot of blood...

and they had to probe pretty deeply,
but he'll be alright.

He's probably still sleeping.
We had to give me a heavy shot.

-You don't look like you need one.
-Sorry.

Lieutenant.
Lieutenant Candella?

Lieutenant!

-He's gone!
-What do you mean, ''gone''?

His clothes, l...
well, his hat 's here, but where can...

That crazy.
What time did you check him last?

Four-thirty.
I looked in and he was sleeping.

Four-thirty! That 's an hour ago!
Holy smoke!

He just couldn't get up and walk out
of here. He didn't have the strength.

He didn't. You're lucky he
didn't go out through that wall.

Hello!

Hello!

Police headquarters.

-What time is it now, Mother?
-For heaven's sake, Frances...

you've asked me that four times
in the last ten minutes.

Mother, would you just
please tell me what time it is.

Well, if you're going
to adopt that tone.

Mother.

I�ve been on my feet all day at the
hospital. and I�m in no mood to argue.

lf I�m getting to be a burden to you,
I can always leave.

She's back.

There are homes for people
like me and I can...

Teena. Teena Riconti.
Where is she?

I don't know what
you're talking about!

You're the only one that
could know where she is.

-Where is she?
-Now listen here, Lieutenant.

I told you, Frances, no good would
come of bringing that girl here.

-Mother!
-She's been nothing...

but trouble ever since she came...

...taking my room.
-Alright, so I did have her here!

But she doesn't know anymore
about that jewel robbery than I do.

-The poor kid.
-Look, Miss Pruett.

Rome's a murderer.
Teena's his girl.

lf you ever want to see
her alive again.

But...

I told her not to go. I begged her.
But Tony said he needed her.

-Tony?
-Yes.

He said Marty was hurt and that he
wanted to see her just once more.

-He said she had to come.
-Where?

I don't know.
To a church somewhere.

-He said.
-A church?

-Marty had to hide until it got dark.
-Church?

-She's inside, Marty.
-Good boy.

Look, Tony, I�m gonna need you
to drive. I�m taking you with me.

But, Marty, I don't think I ought to.

What 's the matter?
That cop scare you last night?

Look, we need money, and fast.

You know where Mama keeps
money on the shelf in the kitchen?

-Marty, I can't take that.
-Why not?

-It 's all they've got!
-So what?

I gave it to them, didn't l?
Now I need it!

Get it and get back here
in ten minutes.

Get it, I said,
and don't waste any time.

-Yes, but I had to see you.
-I knew you'd come.

I knew you wouldn't let me down.
We're leaving, Teena. Both of us.

-I�m taking you with me.
-No, Marty, no.

I got my car outside. We'll go now.
Nobody can stop us.

In a couple of days
we can be out of the country.

We'll go away some place
and nobody will ever find us.

Marty, l...

-I can't.
-There's nothing to be afraid of.

-They're not after you. I fixed that.
-It ain't that, Marty.

It 's you.
You've changed.

Changed? Why?

Because of Niles?
He threatened you, Teena. I had to.

-But the policeman.
-That was self-defense.

Don't think about it now.
It 's gone. It 's past.

We'll go away and forget all about it.
We'll get out of this crumby town.

We love each other, Teena.

We can be happy.
You know we can.

Oh, Marty, I can't.

It isn't right.

I can't.

Don't, dear.
It 's alright, I understand.

I shouldn't have asked you.
It 's just that you're the only one left.

The rest don't count.
Even my mother turned me out.

But you, Teena,
I�ve kept you in my heart always.

Wherever I went you were
my strength, Teena.

Without you I�m empty,
finished, dead.

Please, Marty.

-Don't torture me.
-Then come with me.

You're my life. I�ll do anything
in the world for you.

-Come.
-No. Don't go with him.

You won't need that, Marty.
I came alone.

She only nicked you, huh, Candella?
That 's too bad.

I�m going out of here
and she's coming with me.

You may be, Marty,
but not the girl.

Not when she knows about you.

She knows about me.

And she's coming with me.

You told her?

A confession?

This is a good place.

-You told her everything?
-Yeah.

She knows.

She knows that you killed two men...

but does she know
about the others?

Does she know about Orvy,
the poor little cracked trusty...

who'll get five years
for helping you break jail?

Does she know about Brenda,
the girl that sheltered you?

She'll serve time, Marty.

So will that doctor
with the sick wife.

You forgot all about them,
didn't you?

No, he didn't forget them.

He didn't even think of them.

He used them
and brushed them aside.

Just like he uses everybody
he's ever known...

including his own family.
And he'll use you too, if he has to.

-You lie, Candella.
-Do l?

He says that he loves you.

Maybe he does.
As much as he could love anybody.

But if he really loved you...

would he ask you to share
the kind of life he's got to live?

The law doesn't want you,
Teena Riconti.

Go home.

Teena!

Not you, Marty.

You're going with me.

You want to die, Candella...

here, now!

I want you, Rome.
I�ve got a gun, too.

I�ve been lucky.

I�ve never had
to kill a man in my life...

but I�ll get you, Rome.

I�ll get you because I�ve got to.

You're bluffing.
You got no gun.

Go ahead.

Call my bluff.

You'd shot?
Here in church?

I think I�d be forgiven this time.

Your gun, Marty.

Days I wasted, I could
have been out of the country.

Next time I know better.

There won't be any next time.

Your gun.

You're bleeding, Candella.

-You sprung a leak, huh?
-I�m alright.

-Let 's go.
-She hurt you good, huh?

-Let 's go.
-No.

You ought to sit down,
rest a while, huh?

In the name of the law, Rome...

stop!

He's dead.

I wanted to tell him
I couldn't bring the money.

He sent me home to get it.

I couldn't take it.
I wanted to tell him.

Help me, Tony.
