We'll

get back.

How's that?

>> Got to hand it to you, Eco. The old

beans working all the time.

>> What would it be, Jen?

>> Spaghetti and coffee for two.

>> All right, sir.

And the world pays respects to Diamond

Pete Montana.

>> What's that got to do with the price of

eggs?

>> Ah, plenty.

Diamond Pete Montana.

He don't have to waste his time on cheap

gas stations. He's somebody. He's in the

big town doing things in a big way.

Yeah. Look at us. Just a couple of

nobodyies. Nothing.

>> Is that what you want, Ro? A party like

that for you.

Caesar and Rico Bandello,

honored by his friend. I could do all

the things that fell does and more. Only

I never got my chance. Now, what's there

to be afraid of? Now, when I get in the

tight spot, I shoot my way out of it. My

sure first and afterwards. You know,

this game ain't for guys that's soft.

Yeah,

there's money in the big town. All

right.

And the women, good times. Something

doing all the time. exciting things, you

know. Gee, the clothes I could wear.

Then I'd quit, Rico. I'd go back to

dancing like I used to before I met you.

I don't know. I ain't made for this sort

of thing. Dancing.

That's what I want to do. Dancing.

Women.

Now, where do they get you? I don't want

no dancing. I'm figuring on making other

people dance. Oh, I ain't forgetting all

about the money.

>> Yeah, money is all right, but it ain't

everything. Now, be somebody. Look hard

at a bunch of guys and know that they'll

do anything you tell them. Have your own

way or nothing. Be somebody.

>> You'll get there, Rico.

>> You'll show them, Joe. This was our last

stand in Leburg. We're pulling out.

>> Where are we going?

>> East where things break big.

And so I beat it east like I told you.

That's all there's to it.

I want to roll with your mouth if you

let me. What do you say?

He won't be sorry for letting me in, Mr.

Victoria. I'll shoot square with you.

I'll do anything you say. I ain't afraid

of nothing.

>> Oh, you think you're a hard guy, huh?

>> Well, there's nothing soft about me.

Nothing yellow. I don't quit.

>> You got an idea you're good, huh? I'll

give me a chance to show you.

>> What do you know about me?

>> Oh, I heard plenty.

How you run things the center of town

about this here club Palmo? How's your

front? I got told enough.

>> I guess you're good with a rod, too,

huh?

>> Quick with it. That's what I am and

sure.

>> Well, I don't go around here. That's old

stuff. This ain't the stakes.

>> Yeah, I get you.

All right, you stick around. But

remember, I'm the boss and I give all

the orders. And when we split, we split

my way. And no squawks. You get me?

>> Yeah, sure, Mr. Vtori.

>> All right, come on in. Meet the boys.

>> Sure.

>> Oh, they're 100% all right. Every one of

them.

There's Tony Passa. Can drive a car

better than any mug in the town.

He's little, but he's a goods. All

right. Bat gorilla,

killer, peppy, kid bean, and this one

here, Scabby. What a smart guy he is.

Boys,

come on, Tony. Wake up.

I want you to meet a new guy. What's

going to be with us? This is uh uh

>> Caesar Enrio Vandelo.

Oh, little Caesar, huh?

Yeah, sure.

[music]

[music]

>> Where did you get the new dancers? Ivon

Olga brought them around a few days ago.

Not bad.

All right. I'll say is

[music]

>> Well, I got hold of a real dancer for a

partner, didn't I, Mr. Deart?

>> Oh, he's an elegant dancer. Say, we'll

panic them after a few more rehearsals.

>> So, you're not trying to sell them to

me, are you? vulgar. [laughter]

Well, young fellow, I guess a hundred a

week ought to buy you. That's more than

I generally start them with.

>> That's well with me, Mr. Divorce. Even

though I don't buy no limousine.

>> Gee, thanks, Mr. Divorce. Oh, you will

never be sorry for this. Come, Joy.

>> No, it's you and me from now on.

>> Well, I'm glad you're not ashamed of.

I guess you know by this time how I feel

about you and that's all right with you,

isn't it? Or or have you got another

girl? A steady I mean [laughter]

>> hundreds of them. Sure. Only

>> only what's the difference? This is

going to be real, huh? [music] We'll

make it mean something.

>> Yeah. Join me.

>> Cuz I need somebody. Somebody like you.

Awful bad.

You believe me, Alga?

>> I want to believe you.

What's that?

What you got there, Joe?

What are you doing with that?

Can't you forget you seen it? It won't

make no difference. Not between us,

Augga.

>> Don't worry, baby. It's just a little

good luck charm I carry around with me.

>> Is that your recordet?

>> Maybe.

>> I suppose I got no right to ask you,

Joe.

But now,

now that we got an understanding,

couldn't you leave it?

>> No, I suppose I haven't got the right.

>> What would be the good of you asking,

kid? Once in a gang,

you know the rest.

>> I don't want to know.

>> Only maybe, maybe it could be different

this time.

if we try.

>> I've never seen a guy that could get

away with it yet.

>> Santori is still waiting for you in your

office.

All right, I guess I'll have to see him.

I wonder what he wants here.

>> Hey, this

you better stick with me. I'll lead you

in there. That sound to no good luck.

You said it, boss. Better let me go

first.

Cut that.

>> Hello, Arie.

>> Surprised to see me in your swell joint?

>> Maybe I won't be after you to tell me

what you want here.

>> Oh, I'll tell you. All right. Diamond

Pete asked me to come up. He's coming

up, too.

>> Pete Montana?

>> That's who.

>> Well, if Pete wants you here, it's got

to be all right with me.

Hello, Mr. Montana.

>> Hello.

>> Hello.

>> Hello, honey. Hello, Pete. How are you?

>> Hello, Ptori. Hello, boss. Cigar.

Thanks.

Thanks, Arie. Sit down, boys. I got

something to tell you.

A message from a big boy.

Now, listen. Here's the lowdown. The big

boy says, "Wait a minute, boss. Hey,

you.

Nobody asked you to be brought in here,

did he? Screw mug.

>> You ain't giving me orders. You're a

fresh guy.

>> Take it easy, Ro.

You go out there and wait for me.

>> Check with me, boss.

Now listen, boys. Watch this guy

Mccclure. What's head of the new crime

commission? He's putting the screws on.

And make no mistake about him. Now, the

big boy wants me to tell you guys to put

the chains on your gorillas for the next

few months. Because if any of them go

too far, it'll be just too bad.

>> I never seen nobody the big boy couldn't

get to. He can fix anything. That's why

he's the big boy. This board mccclure

will be pie for him. He twist him around

his little finger.

>> Don't kid yourself. Nobody squaring

nothing with Mccclure. Not even the big

boy. More jobs are different. We can

spring guys for them. But shooting?

No, sir.

It's guys like this torpedo if you want

that cause all the trouble.

>> Oh, Rico,

he's all right. He's a little quick on

the trigger, but that's because he's

new.

>> Yeah, well, it's us that'll swing for

him if he shoots at the wrong time. Now,

remember what I told you. Come on.

song.

>> You

You take it easy with that cannon of

yours.

Did you hear me?

>> Yes, Mr. Montana.

>> Good night, fellas. Good night.

>> Good night. Good night.

Do yourself a favor, will you, Rico?

Leave your gat home on the piano the

next job you pull. Yeah. Park it next to

your milk bottle.

>> Uh, run your own, mob, Arie. I'll take

care of mine.

>> Yeah, I'll park it. I don't need no

cannon to take care of guys like you,

Mr. Lord.

Yeah, we got to be careful. Little

Arie's interest in this here nightclub.

And if it ever gets out, who pull the

job?

>> Oh, they'll never get wise to it. Going

to be a fence. They're careless, but we

never been passed.

>> Yeah, but I don't like the whole

business.

>> Neither do I, Sam. Honest, I don't. I

couldn't sleep last night. I I was that

worried. I don't want to take any

chances. Not now. The way they're

closing down on us.

>> What's the matter, Tony? Getting yellow?

>> No. But jeez, none of us want to hang,

do we?

>> You like to quit, wouldn't you? You'd

like to run out on us, wouldn't you?

>> Your yellow got dirty.

>> Wait a minute, Ro.

>> Where do you get that yellow stuff? You

want to know who's yellow? I'll tell

you. Joe Masara, your pal. That's why he

didn't show up here tonight. Now, Joe

will be here just because he's

>> I know all about that stuff. I'm going

to give him 10 minutes more and we'll

see.

>> Hey, now listen, Sam. Joe is all right.

He's the best front man in the world.

Why? He can go to a swell hotel and

order a suite. A sweet and it's all

right. Without Joe, we can't pull this

job and you know it.

>> What's that paper?

>> Is this layout I've been figuring out

with Scabby?

>> What? This nightclub job?

>> Yeah. Well,

>> let me see it.

And until I say different, nobody's

going to plan for this mob and me. Yeah,

get me.

You'll learn now. Come here, you guys.

>> Now get this.

Hello, Joe.

>> Hello, Ro.

>> I told you to be here at 8:30.

Oh, well, you see, I I was busy. I I was

rehearsing and Oh, well, you know how it

is.

>> Yeah, I know how it is. They've been

saying it in there, and I didn't believe

them. They're crazy when they call you

yellow.

>> Uh, tell them they can go to

Hey, what's the big idea of the rush

anyway?

>> It's a little job. We need you for a

little job at the bronze peacock.

What do you mean?

You trying to kid me or something?

How can I take the chance? They're all

my friends. They all know me.

>> That's why they'll never suspect you

now. Don't stall, Joe.

>> I ain't stalling. You got to get me out

of this, Ro. You got to I don't want to.

Well, don't don't you see I'm I'm

working steady now. And

Oh, can a guy ever say he's true? Now,

you're going to be in on this and you'll

like it.

The time is to be sharp midnight on New

Year's Eve.

>> I won't. I can't. I can't. Don't you

see? I

g I'll be working New Year's Eve.

>> And now, listen, Joe.

This is the joint where you're working.

And don't you be forgetting it either.

Come on in.

Well, maybe it ain't so hot. Maybe we

can't buck little Arie.

>> I can.

>> Oh, you're too good. That's what

Hello, Joe. You were in a big hurry

about getting here, weren't you? Maybe

this kind of work ain't your liking,

huh?

>> Oh, Joe's all right. He's in with us.

>> Yeah,

I'm in with you.

>> Well, let's see. Now, here's the way I

doped this thing out.

>> I, Samuri, not you, Ro.

Nobody else.

>> That's plain, ain't it?

>> Sure. Only who stands here. You kind of

forgot that, didn't you?

>> I'm bossing this job, not you.

>> Smart guy, Eagle. He's got many dreams.

Are you afraid? Okay. I'm afraid

>> you're crazy. Nico is coming with us.

Come on now, [ __ ]

>> And you, Joe,

you'll be in the lobby and give us the

high sign if everything's on the up and

up. You get me?

>> And if we get in the jam, you'll have to

take a chance with the rest of us.

Quiet. Quiet. Holy Moses loved Mccclure.

The crime commission boss.

Hey, divorce.

Come here.

What is it, Arie? What is it?

>> Bring Mccclure over here. I want to buy

him a lemonade.

>> Not tonight. H some other time.

>> Go on. Do what you're told.

>> Go on, Devos. Bring him here.

>> As you wish.

>> What can I order for you?

>> Good evening, Mr. Mlo.

>> Good evening, Devon. Quite a party, eh?

>> Thank you. Thank you. Delighted to have

you with us, folks.

>> Good evening.

>> Uh Mr. Mccclure, a uh Mr. Lodge,

financial backer of mine, would like

very much to meet you. May I bring him

over to your table?

>> Lord? Lord? You mean the man they call

little Arie?

>> Yes.

>> And you say that he's a financial backer

of yours?

>> Yes.

>> I didn't understand that a man of his

type was connected with this place. I am

sorry, divorce, but you might inform Mr.

Lord that we're leaving. I came to this

place under a misapprehension.

>> I'm sorry, folks, but we'll have to go

somewhere else.

>> You like my hair this way, Joey?

>> I used to wear Where you going?

>> Just to get a package of cigarettes.

No interruption. This ain't no picnic.

>> What's the matter? You're losing your

nerve?

Come on. Come on. We got to get out of

here. Come on.

Happy new year.

What?

Julie?

What is it? What's the matter?

Nothing.

It's all right.

The joint's been held up. That's all.

>> Held up. Hey.

They shot Mccclure.

>> Joe.

>> Well, now you know.

>> It was you.

>> No. No. It's a lie.

>> You shot Mccclure, though.

>> No, I didn't. I swear I didn't. It

wasn't me that shot him. It was

I don't know who,

but it's our hips for this job. All

right.

>> Maybe. Maybe everything will be all

right, Joey. Maybe he wasn't hurt badly.

But you're through with that bunch. Oh,

you don't belong, Joe. You're not that

kind. You'll never go near them again.

Olga,

you can't go back

on a gang.

>> Well, everything come off all right.

Tell me. Everything was all right. Only

I had to take care of a guy.

>> Who was it?

>> Mccclure.

Mccclure.

You shot Mccclure.

A million guys in this town and you had

to pick the crime commissioner.

>> What did I tell you, Rico? Didn't I say

to make it clean? Didn't I say no

gunplay?

>> You think I'm going to let a guy pull a

G on me? any more of these cracks and

this is my last job.

>> The head of the crime commission.

>> The big boy can't do us no good this

trip.

>> They'll get a dead shore now.

>> What am I going to do?

>> Well, why don't you go and give yourself

up?

>> You're slipping, Sam.

>> And Tony, what about him? Where is he?

>> Getting rid of the car. Tony got

nervous. He's just like a big baby.

What a fine picker. We're in

you and that rod of yours.

is downstairs. A couple of dicks with

him. They're coming right up. Stand out,

Oliver. They won't know nothing unless

they pick Tony up. Give them the s.

I'll be in here listening.

Happy new year, boys.

>> Say, there's a lonesome touring car down

the street. I was wondering if you

happen to know anything about it.

>> How should I know anything about it?

Ain't it got license plates on it?

>> Yes, but they're phony. It was stolen on

the north side tonight.

>> Oh, I got a good cafe business. I don't

know nothing about automobiles. What's

been stolen?

>> Well, you might if some of the bright

young men around here had anything to do

with it, wouldn't you?

>> Wasn't there anybody in it?

>> Yes, one guy. But not when we got there.

He beat it.

But we got a good description of him,

though.

>> I'm tell you, I don't know nothing about

it.

>> Well, come on, fellas.

As long as Vtor doesn't know anything

about it.

>> All say, have you heard the news? Vtor?

>> No.

>> What?

>> Someone knocked off Alvin Mccclure over

at the Bronze Peak.

>> Mccclure? No.

>> That's terrible.

>> Some guys are sure careless with the

lead. All right. What a tough break for

Arie. It's going to be a tough break for

a lot of birds.

Well, so long.

Oh, I forgot to wish you fellas a merry

Christmas.

It's Tony. I can't figure him. That

kid's a great driver. Oh, he must have

lost his nerve.

>> I'll take care of him. Now, let's see

the color of that mud.

>> Yeah, just a minute, Sam. I got my own

ideas of a split this time. And you can

take it my way or leave it. We ain't

begging you.

>> Yeah, well, I bought this job and I'm

going to get my split in the regular way

or else.

>> How'd you boss this job? By sitting here

in your office, shooting yourself a

solitary. Well, that don't go no more.

Not with me, I don't. We're done. I've

been taking orders from you too long.

>> Yeah, you'll keep on taking orders, Joe.

Well, you'll get out of here so fast.

>> Yeah. Well, maybe it won't be me that

gets out.

>> No.

>> Yeah. Well, maybe the boys have got

something to say about that. What about

it?

>> So, that's it, huh?

>> Yeah, that's it. All right,

Sam, you can dish it out, but you're

getting so you can't take it no more.

You're through.

Well,

>> well, the split's okay with me, Rico.

>> How about you, boys?

No hard feelings, eh? Sam,

we got to stick together. There's a rope

around my neck right now, and they only

hang it once. If anybody turns yellow

and squeals, my gun's going to speak its

peace.

What's the matter, Antonio?

Why you don't sleep?

You sick, baby. Huh?

>> Yeah.

>> Oh, what's the

>> No. No. Can't a guy get up when he wants

to without answering a lot of foolish

questions?

>> Stay out late [music] nights. You drink

lots of wine.

>> Leave me alone. Oh, listen. I

I have some spaghetti for you on this

stove. If you feel better, eat this.

Yes,

it do you good.

You used to be a good boy, Antonio.

Remember when you sing in the church in

the choir with Father Necne? You in

white? Remember,

>> Father McNeel,

>> the church was beautiful.

You little boy with long hair, the tall

big candle, loud.

Remember, Antonio

Don't leave me, Marty. Here.

>> You don't have to go now, do you? Can't

you stay a little while with me? Please

don't go away. Please.

I don't know.

Oh my.

Oh my.

I'll be all right.

You better run along. You here? You run

along.

Take good care of yourself, will you?

And you give my love to Miss B, would

you?

What a big deal.

>> Hey Tony, where you been? I'm looking

all over for you. Rico wants you to come

and get your split.

What's the matter, Tony? Don't you want

a split?

Are you crazy? I'm not crazy. I don't

want no split.

Listen, Tony. Rico knows you lose your

nerve. Now, he wants you to be a man.

You better not turn yellow. Get away

from me, Otter Terra. Leave me alone.

>> Listen, kid. I'm trying to tell you for

your own good. Now you come with me and

get your

>> Hey, Tony. Tony, where you going?

>> I'm going to see Father McNeel.

>> Nico,

I found Tony, but it's too late. He's

crazy. Crazy. I tell him to be a man,

but he just shake his head and go to the

priest.

>> Well, I guess that's that. We ain't got

any time to lose.

>> Come on, Sam. Get yourself a car and

let's go.

>> Not me. Take take scabby. A

>> scabby's no good.

>> No, I ain't no good.

>> Can you drive?

>> All right, let's go. We lose a black

roster.

>> There it is.

Tony,

[music]

[music]

>> did you see all them reads? That verse

is sure decked out pretty. Well, this

was no time to be tight with money. Tony

deserved a swell send off.

>> Poor kid.

>> Yeah, but Rico's wreath beat them all.

It was big. And all it had on it was

Tony. Not even Rico's name.

>> Yeah, Rico's no biker.

Tony looked like he was asleep.

Didn't look a bit changed.

Beats me how they do it. Got a match.

>> Look, Rico, there's Cloudy the Bull.

>> Huh?

Things must be [music] getting pretty

hot. What's he want?

>> He's just stalling. He ain't got a thing

on me.

See, we're moving slow.

We got plenty of time. The banquet won't

start until 8.

>> Yeah.

>> Too bad Tony won't be there.

>> Well, that's the goods. All right.

That's the fanciest I've ever seen, Sam.

Now, look at those little turtle doves

down here. Friendship and loyalty, huh?

>> Yeah. How do you like that, Sans? Huh?

>> Pretty good.

>> You know, Terra was telling me I didn't

look good in the derby. What do you

think?

>> Was just like you.

>> Yeah, I thought so, too. I guess I'll

stick to him from now on.

>> Compliments to a true pal, Mr. C.

Vandela. From a true pal, Mr. Sam Bur.

Well, that's nice. I appreciate Sam.

That's swellier.

That certainly%

>> What's the matter when you burn?

>> Don't you know how to add to the banket?

What do you think you are on a gas honk?

yet.

>> Well, cut that chatter.

>> Gabby's going to make a speech.

>> Well, folks, you all know what we're

here for. So, what's the good of me

telling you all about it?

Rico here IS A GREAT GUY.

SURE.

And uh well

I must say Rico I don't know how to talk

fancy but

this here watch is for you see FROM THE

BOYS.

>> COME ON EVERYBODY.

OH, WELL. All right.

You first want me to make a speech? Here

it goes.

I uh I want to thank you fellas for this

here banquet.

It sure is. Well,

the uh the liquor is good, so they tell

me,

but I I don't drink it myself, and the

food don't leave nothing to be desired.

Well, I guess we're all having a swell

time, and it sure is good to see all you

gents with your miles here.

Yeah.

Well, I I guess that's about all.

Hey.

>> Yeah. And only I wish you birds wouldn't

get drunk and raise a lot of cane cuz

that's the way a lot of birds get bumped

off.

>> Yeah. Come on. Lay off that stuff. I

know what I'm newspaper guys out there

want to take a picture. What do you say,

boss?

>> Well, what do you think of that? Huh?

Sure. Send them in. Only tell them to

make it snappy.

>> I'll see you later, Echo.

>> Oh, don't go away, Pete. Well, yeah,

we're going to have our pictures taken.

>> I haven't had my picture taken in the

last 15 years.

>> What do you think of that? 15 years you

had it. Come on, boys. Make a snap. We

ain't got all evening.

>> There you are. Now hold it.

Hold it still.

There. That was a bad play you made

then, Ro. That flashlight.

>> They might pick you up on that.

>> Oh, what do I care when I want folks to

see what the boys think of me?

>> Hey, Rico, what become of that pal? That

dancer guy, Joe Masara.

>> He didn't come.

>> He ain't been around in a long time.

>> He didn't quit on you, did he, Rico?

Bad business to quit on me, Sam. One guy

tried that on me once. Now you mind your

own business. Let me tend to my own.

>> What does that bull want in here?

>> I'll show him where he gets off.

>> Careful, Ro.

>> Who invited you here?

You're getting up in the world, aren't

you, Rico?

The downstairs is open to anybody, even

cops. But the upstairs is private.

>> Thanks. But I like to keep my eye on

you, Rico. You see, I'm your friend. I

like to see a young fellow getting up in

the world. That's all.

So long.

Hurry back.

I will.

Oh, say

somebody threw a brick through Maya

Blum's window last night. You don't

happen to know anything about a diamond

and platinum watch. It was stolen, do

you?

If you hear anything about it, let me

know, won't you?

banquet. Eh,

Ro got far.

Too far. So now he's got to stop. I'm

saying he's got to stop. Oh,

>> honey. Are you fellas going to start

another scrap? What's the use of my

paying heavy dough for protection if

there's never any peace?

>> Don't you worry, divorce. There'll be

peace soon enough. I'm saying he's got

to stop, so he's going to stop. He's

been cutting in on my territory, and

that's all wet with me.

Look, [clears throat]

I'm sitting here. See, I'm sitting here

quiet smoking a cigarette. See,

but a couple of my boys ain't sitting

here. They're out looking for Ro. And

they got their guts with them, too.

Catch on. And when they find him, it

won't be no banquet that Ro gets. It'll

be awake.

>> You know best.

I've never met Ro.

2284.

Hello, Terrell. This is Joe Masara.

Listen, I just found out something. This

is hot. Tell Ro to look out. Little

Arnie's gang's after him. They're going

to put one in him.

>> What's the matter?

>> Where is Ro? Look

>> up me. He ain't showed up yet.

>> Come on, quick. We got to find him.

>> I want 10 of these.

Gee, you taking all these papers, Mr.

Rico?

>> I sure ain't. I got my picture in them.

>> Thanks.

>> Come again.

Fine. Shot you.

What happened?

>> So, somebody finally put one in you.

>> Yeah, but they just grazed me, though.

>> The old man will be glad to hear it. He

takes such an interest in you.

>> Now, you tell them the cops couldn't get

me in all the way, so they hired a

couple of gunmen. [laughter]

>> If I wasn't on the force, I'd have done

the job cheap. Hey, did you ever stop to

think how you'd look with a lily in your

hand?

>> No, I never did. I've been in this game

a good many years, and I put the cuffs

on a lot of mugs. Someday you and I are

going to take a ride, Rico. And when we

do, I'll have the cuffs on you, too.

>> No buzzard like you will ever put any

cuffs on Ro.

Come on, boys.

Why don't you?

>> I'm going to get that swheaded mug if

it's the last thing I ever do.

>> Want me to phone?

>> I'm sorry. I should have been with you.

They thought they hit the target, boss.

The bullets just bounce off of you.

>> It was little, Rico. Joe Masara got the

technique called up. We couldn't find in

time.

>> Joe, huh?

I didn't think he cared enough.

Well, I was white of him. All right.

Hard to give him a chance on my next

job. There. Guess I didn't study

medicine for nothing, did I?

>> Thanks, Gabby.

I'm going to see little Lonnie tonight.

If he's looking for trouble, well,

that's what we got the most of. I won't

kill a Pepe or Terra Kid Bean and B with

me.

Listen,

handsome, open up or you'll tell nobody

nothing no more.

Tell her we're all right. And don't act

nervous.

These guys are all right.

Come on, pick them up. Lock that door.

Where's Annie? In the office. Matt, you

stay outside that door and don't let

anybody come in. Kids, you keep them

covered. Pepe and follow me. Come on.

You'll give them the knock.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Hello, Arie.

How's business?

>> What's the game?

I don't know what this is all about, but

it's a private round. You guys better

beat it.

>> Ain't nobody going to leave this room.

You guys are invited to this private

party.

>> Suppose we don't want to stay. And I

wouldn't stop you for the world. Only

these boys of mine have itching fingers.

>> Sit down, J.

Arie,

you ought to have had better sense than

to hire a couple of outside yaps,

especially bad shots.

>> Come on. What is it? Let's have it.

>> Arie,

you're through. You hire these mugs,

they miss. Now you're through. If you

ain't out of town by tomorrow morning,

you won't never leave it except in a

pine box.

I'm taking over this territory. From now

on, it's mine.

>> You're growing, Ro. So, this is what

you've been after all the time, eh? I

seen it in your eyes the first time I

met you. You're no good, Ro. But if you

think you can muscle on me like you did

on Samatory, you're off your nut. I

suppose you forgot all about Pete

Montana, huh?

>> How's Dam P going to stop me? He may be

your boss, but he ain't mine.

>> Sam didn't feel that way about him. Sam

knew who gave orders.

>> Yeah, Sam was too soft. Diamond Peak

could scare him, but I ain't no Sam. Sam

is through. Now you're through, too.

Nice stick bin you got there, Arie.

Nothing pony about my jewelry.

Arie,

you better quit this racket.

You can dish it out, but you got so that

you can't take it no more.

And you better take your hats and beat

it. The first thing you know, you'll be

arrested for finding a rod in the city

limit.

Well,

I guess that's about all.

Oh, uh, pleasant trip, J.

Come on, boys.

Oh, thanks, boys, for the artillery.

>> [laughter]

>> Well, boys, what do you think of it?

>> Gabby, you're in the wrong racket. It's

perfect.

>> That means you have a new partner,

>> Little Caesar.

Everybody laugh at Scabby's story.

Gee, boys, you give Arie an awful

walopin.

Rico,

now you're famous.

You see,

there ain't no use in being scared of

any of these big guys. The bigger they

come, the harder they fall.

Yeah, I ain't doing so bad in this

business so far.

>> I don't know.

>> Ah, you look great, boss.

>> Yeah, but it feels terrible.

>> Ah, you're getting up in the world, Ro.

You know, there ain't none of us ever

been invited up to eat at the big boy's

dump. And nobody ever crashed the gate

except Pete Montana. See what I mean?

Now, you don't want the big boy to think

you ain't got no class.

>> Hey, they're rigging up better than this

in a stir. If you think I'm going out in

this harness, you're crazy.

>> Oh, you look fine, boss. Go on. Go on.

Take a peek at yourself.

>> Oh, I don't know.

Hey, all I need is a napkin over my arm.

Now, don't you look fine?

>> I guess maybe don't look so bad after

all.

>> Hello, big boy.

>> Hello, Rico. now, huh? Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Thanks. Thanks very much.

>> Well, you're rather lit up tonight,

aren't you?

>> Yeah. I I thought I better put on the

monkey suit. That's right. You may as

well learn now.

>> Yeah. Well,

some joint you got here. It'll do.

I bet all this strict furniture set you

back plenty, huh?

>> Well, they don't exactly give it away

with cigar coupons.

>> I'll tell the world.

>> Boy, it sure look. Oh, look at that.

>> You like it?

>> Oh, I think it's elegant.

>> That cost me $15,000.

>> 15,000?

>> Boy, them gold frames sure cost plenty

of dough. Well, will you have a cocktail

or a dash of brandy?

>> Oh, no, no, no thanks. I never touch the

stuff. Never.

>> No cigar then.

>> Oh, yeah. I'll have one of those.

Thanks.

Thanks very much.

>> Sit down, Ro.

>> Yeah. Thanks.

Now listen, Rico,

I'm going to talk to you, but you're not

going to hear a word I say. See, this is

inside dope, and if it gets out, it'll

be just too bad for somebody. You know

me.

>> All right, get this. Pete Montana's

through.

Yeah.

Well, and I thought he was such a big

guy.

>> He's through.

Suppose I were to tell you that from now

on you were Pete Montana.

That you were to take over his territory

in addition to your own. Would you shake

on it?

>> Would I?

Would I?

All right, it's set.

I'm doing a lot for you, Rico, but when

I get you planted, I'll expect plenty of

service. Now, you'll sure get it.

>> Permit me then to drink to the new boss

of the north side. Thank you.

What's I tell you? Huh?

I knew it was coming. I knew he had his

eyes on me all the time.

Now, let me tell you something, Otto.

It's not only Pete Montana that's

through, but the big boy himself. He

ain't what he used to be. Pretty soon he

won't be able to take it. And then

watch me.

Sure, boss. Pretty soon you'll be

running the whole town.

>> Oh, Terra, you said a mouthful.

>> There's a guy by the name of Misera out

there. He wants to see you, sir. I'll

see him in a minute.

>> Yes, sir.

What's Joe want around here? He hasn't

been near any of us for months.

>> I sent for him. I heard that somebody in

Detroit got to fly today and told him to

start working on a dancer at the bronze

peacock. He wanted to find out who shot

McCclure.

Gee, boss, you're wise everything before

it happens.

>> Yeah, I don't miss much. I'll soon find

out if Flity has been working on Joe

after I've had a little talk with him.

Gee, Rico, what a talent.

Oh, hello, Joe.

Yeah, it'll do. But what do you expect?

And I got 20 grand tied up in it.

>> Hello, Thera. How are you, baby?

Firstly,

sit down, Joe. You sure I'm good enough

to sit in such a swell chair?

>> Oh, come on. I'll cut the comedy. Sit

down.

>> Screw Terrell. I want to talk with Joe

private.

>> Sure. See you later, Joe.

Cigar, Joe.

>> No thanks.

>> Well, would you have a cocktail or a

dash of brandy?

>> No.

>> Well, surprise you to hear from me?

>> Kind of.

>> I thought it'd be kind of nice to have a

little talk together

like old times.

>> Certainly is nice to see you, Rico.

Especially like this.

>> You're looking good.

>> Yeah, you're looking good too, Joe.

Living easy kind of, huh?

>> Not that easy. Dancing's no stinch.

>> Yeah, but you ain't complaining.

>> No. No, I ain't complaining.

>> That's good.

Yeah, dancing's all right for a

sideline. It gives you a swell front,

but it ain't my idea of a man's game.

>> What's the difference, Ro?

>> As long as I ain't kicking, why should

you kick?

>> Who's kicking?

I mean, why should a young guy like you

be wasting his time?

And I kind of took pride in you, Joe.

brought you into the gang, pushed your

head, but now you're getting to be a

[ __ ]

>> We got to go into that again. Can't you

just forget about me?

>> No, I don't want to forget, Joe. You're

my pal. We started off together, didn't

we? Well, we got to keep going along

together. Who else have I got to give a

hang about? I need you, Joe. I got the

biggest chance of my life. The big boy

just handed me the whole north side. But

it's too much for one man to handle

alone. I need somebody. Somebody to work

in with me. A guy like you. Somebody I

can trust.

>> Can't be me, Ro. I've quit.

>> You didn't quit. Nobody ever quit me.

You're still in my gang. Do you get

that? I don't care how many pants skirt

you got hanging on to you. That Jane of

yours can go hang. It's her that's made

a softy out of you.

>> You lay off.

>> I lay off her. I'm after her. One of us

has got to lose and ain't going to be

me. There's ways of stopping that game.

>> You're crazy. Leave her out of this.

>> Yeah, she's through. She's out of the

way. That's what she is.

>> You're lying. You wouldn't dare.

>> I wouldn't, would I? I'll show you.

>> Ro, listen. I love her. We're in love

with one another. Don't that mean

nothing to you?

>> Nothing less than nothing. Love. Soft

stuff. When she's got you, she ain't no

good for anything. We ain't out of this

yet. And we don't want no softies

spilling things.

>> I ain't going to spill anything if

that's what you're scared of. You think

I want my neck stressed?

>> Well, you know too much. I ain't going

to take any chances. You're hanging

around with me. See?

>> No, I'm not.

>> All right.

You go back to that dame and it's

suicide.

Suicide for both of you.

You stick here.

Hello. Oh, hello big boy.

No, no, no, no. I don't want that guy. I

don't trust him.

Yeah. Yeah. I got a kid by the name of

Joe Masar would help me.

Yeah. All right. Goodbye, big boy.

Joe.

>> Oh, God. We're going to go. Come on now.

Hurry.

>> Joe, what is it? What's the matter?

>> What are you standing for? Did you hear

what I said? Hurry. Hurry.

>> Yes, Joe. Oh, you're ill.

>> Oh, I'm all right. We got to get out of

here. Ro,

>> what did he do to you? Oh, I knew it. I

knew it. Didn't I know it? He Rico, he

said you and me got to quit. He'd kill

you unless I stuck with him. I ran away.

Let's see. We got to get out of here.

Anywhere. Any place out of town as long

as we get away.

>> No.

>> No. You're not coming.

>> No, that's not the way.

>> But Augger, you don't know that guy.

Augger, you've got to. Please.

>> No. Sit down, Joe. We've got to think.

>> I don't want to think. I don't want to

sit down.

You're coming.

>> Don't you see? It would be no use.

Where? Where would we go? Where would we

run to? There's no place he wouldn't

find us.

There's only one thing for us to do.

Clarity.

>> You're crazy. You think that'll save us?

Flity? That's worse than suicide. I

won't do it. I can't.

>> Well, I can do it. That game must go.

Rico must go. I want my happiness. Joe,

I WANT YOU. AND WE'LL NEVER HAVE ANY

PEACE till Rico's gone. And I'm going to

do it.

>> Alga, don't. Please, Ala, stay here.

Ala, open this door. Alga, please open

this door. Hurry.

>> Park 10,000.

>> Don't call Flity. Please open this door

quickly. RICO, KILL US BOTH.

>> HEY, I'm in Sergeant Flity.

Sergeant Flarity, this is Although

with me in my apartment, 17 Edge Drive.

Yes. Yes. He wants to talk to you.

Hurry. Hurry.

>> Come on, boys. We're going to a party.

Who's given the party? Joe Misar.

>> Formal or informal?

>> I don't know, but we'll find out when we

get there.

>> Shouldn't have done it. You shouldn't

have.

>> There was no other way. No other right

way.

>> The rope for me.

>> No, it isn't. Now that you turn state

evidence, we'll make them promise that

everything will be all right.

Wait,

there he is. A dirty yellow double

crosser. Give it to him, Ro.

Shoot.

Shoot. Ro,

get it over with.

Come on, Turtle. Let's go. You're

getting soft, too.

Who was it?

>> HERE WE GO FROM THERE. BACK TO THE

WINDOW.

>> COME ON. I FOUND IT.

>> Are you ready to talk now, Joe?

>> Well, I'll talk. It was Ro's gang that

held up the bronze peacock. It was Ro

who shot Makulla. That dirty low

sneaking. What Joe tell you? Ask him. He

knows it was Ro.

>> Is that right, Joe? Was it Ro?

>> Where's your phone?

>> There.

>> Oh, Jo here. Let me help you.

>> Park 1000.

Hello, Dan. This is Flarity. Round up

that Polarmo gang. I got enough on them

to use a mile of rope. Shoot the cars

right out. And above all, get Rico.

>> You better watch our step. The cops are

shooting around the street.

>> Oh, you should have plugged Joe.

>> Yeah, I should have plugged them in the

day, too. Anything squee about mccloo

yet? They'll sure do it now.

>> Yeah, from now on we're hot.

>> Yeah, this is what I get for liking a

guy too much. Come on.

Go on, Ro.

I'm done for

Ro.

Samara,

they nabbed him over the ml business and

he squawkked.

>> Rico tried to get him. Now they're after

him. They got Otto.

>> Sam, don't you get me. What are you

sitting there for?

>> What else can I do? I can't run now.

They'd get me anyhow.

>> You're out of your head. Come on, get

up. Let's beat it.

>> No, you

put him up. Don't move. Head over your

gun.

>> All right, take him down the car.

You better give up, Sam. Drop that gun

before we start shooting.

Come on in.

Get on your feet and put your hands up.

>> Put the cuffs on them.

>> Oh, you ain't got nothing on me. Nothing

but the bracelet.

And we haven't got that thing on Rico

either.

He's next.

There's nobody in there. No. Well,

listen, Mark. If you see a Rico, you

better let us know quick.

Well, got yourself a nice pick.

>> Yeah.

>> Cost you just here.

>> I got a terror.

>> Huh? I'm going to stay here a day or two

and then I want a car.

>> Going to cost you big cuz I'm taking big

chances.

>> All right. I got 10 grand planted here.

Help yourself.

>> When you're ready to start, I'll give

you $150.

>> You'll give me. Say, whose money is this

anyway? Who do you think you're talking

to? I need plenty. Most of my money is

hitting the apartment. I can't get to

it.

>> I'll give you $150. Take it or leave it.

>> Why? You dirty saving old hack.

>> No, you won't. Cuz I'm the only one

knows where the money is here. Kill me

and you won't get a sense.

I'll give you $150

if you be a good boy.

He was mean. Sam Btori was. So now he's

got what was coming to him. What does it

say in the papers?

Former gang chief paints on scaffold.

[clears throat]

After a futile battle in the courts, Sam

Vtori, former gang leader, today

presented a pitiful figure as the

hangman's noose was placed around his

neck.

Listen, little Caesar has never been

found. According to the statement of

Lieutenant Thomas Flareity of the

Homicide Squad, little Caesar, the once

swaggering braggard of the underworld,

wilted in the face of real danger and

showed the world his cowardice.

Flarity stated further that little

Caesar has contradicted his off-re

repeated boast that he could dish it out

and take it too.

>> When a real crisis arose, Rico couldn't

take it. Flarity ended his interview by

remarking meteoric as was Rico's rise

from the gutter. It was inevitable that

he should return there.

>> Well, just the same he was the real

leader of that gang.

>> Don't you believe it. Rico didn't have

the nerve and he didn't have the brains.

He was yellow just like Flareity said.

>> That's what Rico Relax.

>> Yeah. Watch it.

Show them when I give it up.

Trying to put that kind of stuff about

me in the papers. Huh? I'll show them

where they get. Hello. Hello. Listen. I

want park 1000. Yeah. Well, I can't take

it no more. Huh? I'll tell that guy

where he Hello. Park 1000. Give me

flight and get him quick.

>> Sure. Just a minute. Tom. Oh, Tom.

I may be screwed, but this sounds like

Rico.

>> Yeah.

>> Flarity speaking.

>> This is Rico speaking.

Rico. All right. See you. Ra. Little

Caesar [ __ ] Hey, you're big guy now.

Ain't just shooting your mouth open the

papers. So, I ran out when it got hot,

huh? You think I can't take it no more?

Well, listen, you crummy flatfooted

copper. I'll show you whether I lost my

nerve and my brains. Thanks, Ro, old

boy. The same to you and many of them.

Come on, tell me some more. The sound of

your voice does my heart good. Trace

that call. Find out where he's phoning

from quick.

Uhhuh. Say, why did you come to Sam's

next stretching party, Rico? It was a

big success.

>> Funny guy, ain't you, Flardy? Well, you

ain't got much longer to laugh. I'm

coming after you, say, and I'm going to

put one in your dirty hide for every

lime crack that you made about me in the

paper. Hey, I'm going to show you who's

going to finish up in the gutter. I'll

show you.

>> We've missed you, Rico. The town has

been nice and quiet. I'm putting on

weight.

>> River 6547. It's a flop house down at

Fourth and Commercial.

>> All right. All right, Big Mouth, but you

better get your hat and start running.

See, cuz you're all through. Call up the

papers and tell him that, you rotten,

dirty line copper.

>> I knew we'd hear from that guy if I kept

giving it to him in the papers. to

concede to that guy.

>> Yeah, they'll have to build him a

special noose to get that swell head of

his through.

>> Well, wish me luck.

There he is. Dust go right. Pull in

there.

You better give up, Ro. You haven't got

a chance.

>> You want me, you'll have to come and get

me.

>> You better be a nice boy, Ro, and come

out.

>> You heard me. If you want me, you'll

have to come and get me.

>> I'll be with you in a minute. That

>> This is your last chance, Ro. Are you

coming out or do you want to be carried

out?

Well, Rico, it looks like you and I are

going to take that little ride together.

No, we ain't.

I told you no buzzard like you will ever

put any cuffs on me. You should have

come out when I told you to. Rico,

>> mother of mercy.

Is this the end of Rico?

>> [music]
