"(whistling)" "(baby crying)" "(coughing)" "(speaking foreign language)" "Here we go again." "(baby crying)" " Well?" " Who are they?" "Some of Angelo's men, Ma, don't worry about it." "You're wrong, my friend, and you get up and quit bellyaching'." "And, you, fork over that 15 bucks, and fast." "Hey, I'm talkin' to you!" " Me?" " Yeah." "I haven't got a cent." "For months, I haven't seen not one dollar." "You expect us to believe that?" " It's the truth." " Oh yeah?" "Then what's he doin' in that pot?" "Perfumin' the joint?" "Uh huh, you can't answer that, huh?" "They're all the same, these immigrants." "(baby crying)" "Either they're goin' to a whole lot of trouble to convince us, or they got no dough either." "Don't let them kid ya." "They're sharp cookies, they're good actors." "(rattling)" "(coughing)" "[Woman In Bed] Oh, Maria, Maria. (Coughs)" "Well now, you think we're pigeons here, huh?" "That's expensive fruit." "So it means you got money, huh?" "Come on, get it out." "Take it easy, Mom, it's nothin'."

"(speaking foreign language)" "Now listen, when we hit it, if you don't mind," "I'll say this is a hold up, all right?" "I've got more experience." "Just a moment." "[Man] This is a hold up." "Reach!" "[Teller] Hold up." "[Robber] Fill it up." "[Teller] Yes, yes, yes, sir." "[Robber] And the rest, take a look." "[Robber] Outta the way!" "Hey, it's empty." "We were just closing down for bankruptcy." "[Robber] Stick your noses outta that door and you'll be splattered all over the sidewalk." "Hey, boys, if you came in to make a deposit, now would be a good time to do it." "Real clever, friend." "Hell, that could happen to anybody." "Yeah, but what are we gonna tell Angelo?" "Well, uh." "Must be Calosemo's boys." "(cheerful instrumental music)" "You off your rocker?" "They don't know that we work for Smiley." "And they don't know us." "(speaking foreign language)" "(cheerful instrumental music)" "This is Judah." "You want $30 worth of news?" "Angelo's boys, they're working in Calosemo's territory." "I, I ain't got no money." "(smacking) (grunting)" "[Thug] You don't, huh?" "No, folks that don't eat don't clean their teeth." "[Thug] Yeah, maybe they're just confused." "Try putting' up a different sign." "Now hand it over if you don't wanna get hurt bad." "That, that's all I have." "Next week, we'll be by to pick up the rest." "Uh uh." "Okay, reach, unless you want your guts ventilated." "You dogs, you lousy dogs." "Give me that money back!" "Caught you with your pants down this time, huh?" "You are the police, huh?" "What do ya mean police?" "(laughing)" "[Thug] Hey, we're in the racket, too." "You made a mistake." "We ain't made no mistake." "You can say that again." "Here ya are, boss." "Hey, you didn't let them (speaks foreign language) of mine soft-soap ya, huh?" "Nah." "At first they give us a hard time, boss, but" "Charlie gave 'em his blessing and (chuckles) the money came pouring' out." "You did a good job, boys, real good." "Little Italy's a tough district." "You're tellin' us, boss." "St. Patrick's Hermitage." "It's Judah." "Go ahead." "Yeah?" "Uh huh." "You're sure?" "Okay." "Tell the cashier to give Judah his usual 30 bucks." " You know him?" " Uh, Judah?" "No." "Uh, I think I've heard of him, boss, but I'm not sure it's the same guy." "[Angelo] He's an informer." "No, it's not him." "The one I mean was also a traitor." "He told me you busted into Calosemo's territory." "Roughed up a couple of his boys." " Is that what he said?" " Yeah." "Hey, boss, this guy's not only a squealer, he's also a pretty big liar." "Why?" "Why?" "Hey, listen, the boss wants to know why." "(chuckling)" "Tell him." "Well, we wasn't gonna tell you so as not to start a war up, they're the ones that busted the line." "We caught 'em milking' our chickens." " No." " Sure." "And when we told them it was gonna cost them plenty, they said that Calosemo would take," " eh, would..." " Take what?" "Take that smile off your face." "You should've killed him!" "When they put 'em in the ambulance, they was still unconscious." "Goddamn it, I'll show 'em who's the godfather around here!" "Them bums' car still over on 12th Street?" " Yeah." " Go pick it up, drive it over to Senator O'Riordan's house and knock him off." "Knock him off?" "Yeah, knock him off." "And leave it nearby." "A cop on our payroll will swear he's seen two of Calosemo's boys duck in and out of it." "You, get down to the hospital and close those two bums' mouths." "Close those two bums' mouths?" "[Angelo] Yeah, and be sure you get to him before Macintosh does." " Macintosh?" " Yes, he's the cop that knows too much." "Then stop at the cashier's office, pick up some letters, and drop out of circulation for a few days." "You can bet on it, boss." "Come on, gorgeous." "Call the heads of the families together for a meeting." "Calosemo's broken the Chicago Treaty." "(guns fire)" "(horn blares)" "Yeah, I like it better than the old kind." "It works pretty good." "[Man On Left] It doesn't do as good as yours does." "Well, you gonna go after the Senator?" "Yeah." "It's your first killing'?" "You mean outside the ring?" " Yeah, outside the ring." " Nah." "You?" "Me?" "Like I said before, you'd shake like a leaf if I told ya." "How 'bout that?" "10 clips for a .45, a half a dozen grenades, four candles, and a typewriter." "Gonna play a joke on somebody?" "What'll it be?" "The usual." "I mean, the same as him." "(guns firing)" "What's the racket?" "Practicin' with a new silencer." "Want one?" "Yeah, I'll try it out tonight at the hospital." "That way, nobody'll hear me." "Jerk." "Very clever." "Have fun." "Want a lift, at least as far as 12th Street?" "Nah, somebody might spot us." "You're right." "Where will we meet afterwards?" "Better split up for a while." "That's a good idea." " So long." " See ya." "(suspenseful instrumental music)" "Bastards." "(suspenseful instrumental music)" "(gun fires)" "(suspenseful instrumental music)" "How the hell do you kill a guy?" "Bastards!" "St. Paul's Hospital, please." "[Man] St. Paul's Hospital." "This is a warning." "An attempt will be made tonight to kill..." "[Man] Hold on, please." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Hello!" "[Man] Yes?" " Who is this?" " This is Macintosh." "Macintosh." "This is a warning." "An attempt will be made tonight to kill Calosemo's men." "You better surround the hospital, put a lot of men on guard, dozens of men." " Who's talkin'?" " A friend." "[Macintosh] Thanks a lot, friend, but you're too late." "Somebody's already knocked 'em off." " What?" " Yeah, somebody filled 'em full of lead." "It wasn't me." "I swear, I didn't do it." "I don't know anything." "I, I was home when they were killed." "I've got a perfect alibi." "I've got." "Oh my God." "(suspenseful instrumental music)" "(people chattering)" "Hey, what happened?" "Senator O'Riordan, you know, the one who was up for reelection." "Yeah, so?" "So, they found him stone dead in his own swimming pool." " Stoned?" " Dead." "You're a Republican, too, huh?" " Well." " You know, this is a political crime." "I know lots of people who'd have been glad to kill that crazy old coot." "I know somebody, too." "(people chattering)" "All right, get these people outta here." "Hey, Lieutenant, where the hell were ya?" "At the hospital, what happened?" "It's Senator O'Riordan." "They found him dead." "Who, when, and where?" "The gardener, 'bout half an hour ago," " in the swimming' pool." " A drowning, how strange." "The old man was a diving champ in his time." "Well, this wasn't his night." "The pool was empty." "(laughing)" "What'd the doctor say?" "Skull fracture, death was instantaneous." "Seen anything to work on?" "No, nothin'." "Except a banana peel on the edge of the pool." "I wanna know everything there is to be known about that banana peel." "Where it was grown, when it was imported, who bought it, and the habits of the guy who ate it." " And I want it tonight." " Okay." "How'd it go at the hospital, Lieutenant?" "Calosemo's bag man sing?" "Could you sing with a head full of lead?" "(cheerful instrumental music)" "You love me?" "(baby crying)" "Is that your father?" "No." "Making ice cream is an art." "And the secret is how much salt you put in the bucket." "It's gotta be just cold enough so that it'll be creamy without turning to ice." "As cold as..." "[Charlie] As cold as (speaks foreign language)." "Yeah, more or less." "Hey, what are you doin' around here?" "Eh, nothin' special." "Just wanted to find out how my little bombardier is." "How ya doin'?" "You knockin' 'em dead, pal?" "He's okay now." " Oh yeah?" " Oh hey." "Hey, get this." "[Charlie] Hey, not bad, not bad." "A little chocolate puddin'," " huh?" " And that's nothin'." "Look." "(laughs) Very funny." "It's nice to see you again." " Thanks to you..." " Pull the chain again." " Well, also that." " Uncle Charlie." "But more than that," "I begin to work again." "[Radio Announcer] The underworld has struck again." "Two members of the Calosemo gang were savagely slain in their beds tonight at St. Paul's Hospital by one, or possibly two, unidentified killers, who literally made mincemeat out of their victims by firing dozens of bullets into them" "at pointblank range." "According to police lieutenant Barry Macintosh, there was every indication that the shooting was the result of a feud between two rival gangs." " He's right." " Also, tonight," "Senator Michael o'Riordan was found with his head split open in his own swimming pool, which was empty at the time." "The question now is, was it accidental death or was the Senator a victim of the under, of the underworld, excuse me, against which he has fought so bitterly for so long." "Police investigation is centered on a mysterious banana peel found at the edge of the senator's swimming pool." "And now, more music." "What a world." "(whistling)" "Bunch of jerks." "(babbling and grunting)" "I always did like little kids." "You stay here, have supper with us." "Okay." "If it's not too much trouble for ya." "No, no, no trouble at all." "My daughter, your friend, they cook the spaghetti and meatball, hmm?" "And raspberry ice cream, smooth." "Raspberry ice cream?" "Well, it was really him that made it." "I just help." "Come, children, sit down." "Also, you fellas from the Department of Justice, you ask questions like the police?" "[Charlie] Well, indirectly." "Indirectly, well I tell ya, you're up to your neck in it." "No, you're up to your neck in it." "It's his case, see?" "(grunting)" "(speaks foreign language)" "Just watch me get outside this." "I love Italian food." "(speaking foreign language)" "No thanks." "It's cooked." "Serve it." "Get a move on it." "(waiter speaks foreign language)" "(booming and shattering)" "With regards from Angelo." "Come on." "[Standing Man] All clear outside." "[Man] Pair of 10s." "[Man] I'll see ya." "(phone rings)" "Home for the night, what is it?" "Okay." "It was Angelo." "We gotta stay put." "Now where was we?" "(horn blares)" "Take it easy." "It's the postman." "He always rings twice." "(guns fire)" "[Cop] We got him this mornin', Chief." "219th on the Wanted List." "This time you've had it." "The least you're gonna get is seven days." "Wake up!" "Uh, Judah." "(phone rings)" "Macintosh speaking." "What, what?" "No." "They've blown up Angelo's bootlegging plant and eight of his boys with it." "You see, I always told you we'd find that joint of his." "You never know, do ya?" " Judah." " Lieutenant." "(phone rings)" "Macintosh speaking." "Then find some way." "Double 'em up two in a box." "Buy ice." "Lay 'em out in the corridor." "Damn it!" "It's the morgue." "No empty ice boxes." "Well then to buy ice." "Lay 'em out in the corridor." "In the corridor, huh?" "Another couple of go arounds like this and the city'd be cleaned up." "And I'd have to go to work, God forbid." "You don't have to worry, Judah." "You're the best stooly the police and the mob's" " ever had in this town." " Thanks, boss." "I'm not flattering ya, it's the truth." "His price is right and he's never given us a bum steer." "Yeah, that's right." "All I'm asking is that you work for us exclusively." "Just for us, it'd be a lot easier, understand?" "I understand, but I can't do that, boss." "You see, I'm a kind of artist in my game." "And it just don't seem honest to me to work for one side only." "It's kind of like, like Caruso only singing at the Met." "Yeah, that's right." " I mean, beside..." " Beside, yeah?" "Well, it's like this." "I can only work on the phone." "I couldn't do it face-to-face." "I want my name here." "Come on." "Come on!" "Operator, get me my office." "Yes, my office!" "(phone rings)" "Judah?" " Yes, boss?" " Do you recognize those men who work for Angelo, the ones who hammered Calosemo's boys?" " Sure." " Where do they hang out?" " I think I know." " You get out and find 'em for me and I'll make you rich." "All right, boss." "Where can I find ya if I need you." "Usual place." "I am always around in the street." "There ya are." "10, 20, 30." "Thanks, boss, but would you mind giving it to me in 30 silver dollars?" "It's an old family tradition." "Get these bills changed and give him the dough." "Thank you." "Get your ass down to 12th Street." "Wait!" "Squeeze the storekeepers and make 'em talk." "I'll take care of it, boss." "They'll sing like canaries." "(grunting)" "(grunting)" "(truck rumbles)" "(horn blares)" "I think we oughta blow, Sonny." "I don't like this set up a damn bit." "Scared?" "Who wouldn't be?" "There's only two of us against who knows how many." "Take it easy." " Relax." " Yeah, I'll relax." "I'll relax." "We've had it tougher than this, right?" "Hey, there they are, Sonny." "There's eight of 'em." "You can count." "We'll never make it." "Never make it, Sonny." "Yes, we will." "I'll handle these bums." "You stay here." "If you say so." "I'll stay here." "(gasping)" "[Man] This time you've had it, Sonny." " Yeah?" " We got a cement overcoat" " waitin' for ya." " Hey, ya hear that?" "I don't wanna end up in a cement bag." " Relax, jerk." " I'm a jerk, yeah." " You finished?" " Yeah, now you can say your prayers." "Hand me the typewriter." "(gun rattles)" "(gun fires)" "(siren wails)" "The flatfeet, Sonny, the flatfeet." "Good." "Let's get outta here." "I don't wanna end up in the electric chair, kid." "Please, Sonny, please, Sonny." "Come on, Sonny, please, please!" "Relax." "I thought I told you to relax." "(knocking)" "(knocking)" "Relax." " You were lucky this time." " Yeah, I was, but you ain't." "The gang war continues. (Chuckles)" "Police are convinced that the hospital killings are a further link in the chain of gangland crimes, which have rocked the city." "Hmm. (Chuckles)" "It's the headlines, huh?" "So what about your link in the chain?" "Look, there's guys that got it and guys that ain't." "That stubborn ole ape died accidentally." "Fine." "Better than that, you couldn't get it." "Let's go, Angelo will wanna know the score." "[Charlie] Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the gorgeousest one of all?" "Me." "Me." "You got a good head on your shoulders." "That, uh, banana peel gag was real genius." "I'm beginnin' to like the Irish." "And you, what did you have to make hamburger out of them two in the hospital for?" "Only knockin' 'em off woulda been enough." "I just followed your advice, boss." "You said not to spare the lead." "Yeah, (chuckles) you hear that?" "I'll bet you fellas would like to have a couple of guys like them on your payroll, huh?" "Stop at the cashier's office on your way out." "There's a couple of grand a piece waiting' for ya." " Thanks, boss." " Yeah, thanks." "Good boys, huh?" "Okay, let's get down to business." "Hey, boss." "Oh, what is it now?" "Judah just called." "Uh huh, well, what'd he say?" " Well..." " Well, come on, out with it." "Don't stand there like an idiot." "(chuckles) You convinced now that crime pays off?" "(chuckling)" "One, two, three." "(phone rings)" "Yeah?" "Huh?" "Okay." "Make it snappy." "Yeah, okay." "One, two, skidoo!" "The door." "(groaning)" "Get the money!" "Relax." "Dumb jerk." "[Sonny] And what happened then?" "He, he, he said he was a policeman." "He ask for you." "What kind of a guy was he?" " Huh?" " He had a terrible mean, ugly face." "Tall, clear eyes, and a scar right here on his forehead." "That's the Cobra." "What'd he wanna know?" "He wanna know if you make a-me give you protection." "[Charlie] What'd ya tell him?" "To policeman, no tell a lie." "I told him you no gangster." "That you private cops workin' for the Department of the Justice." "What did he say?" "He didn't say, he do." "It was terrible." "(speaks foreign language)" "This time we're gonna smart, that's for sure!" "(shouting)" " Sorry." " Where are our suitcases?" "Here, under the bed." "Oh, if, uh, anybody asks for us, you haven't seen us, understood?" " Understood." " Yeah." "Sorry, but the door was open." "You can leave your suitcases here." "You'll be getting a whole new wardrobe after today." "(laughing)" "Wake up!" "You said you'd recognize 'em." "That's right, boss," "I'd recognize 'em anywhere." "We're gonna hold an official lineup." "Bring 'em in." "Are they the ones, in the street clothes?" "If you say so, Lieutenant." "I don't like to look at a guy" "I'm about to put the finger on." "I can believe that. (Laughs)" "Take their photographs, fingerprint 'em, and take 'em down to my office." "Well." "Mind if I turn that lamp a little?" "Of course I mind." " It bothers me." " That's what it's there for." " Oh." " Oh." "Does it bother you?" "Used to it, huh?" " No police record." " No police record?" "That was yesterday." "As of right now, you're accused of a few odds-and-ends, such as extortion, armed robbery, and double premeditated murder." "And I'm warning you, that as of this minute, any thing you say may be held against you." "I advise you to get a good mouthpiece, and he better be very good." " Yeah, that's right." " Yeah, it sure is." "Mouthpiece?" "What for, I'm innocent." "Who do we extort?" "Who'd we rob?" "Who'd we kill?" "Yeah, who?" "You extorted dough from those merchants on 12th Street." "And you robbed your competitors in the racket." "And you shot the aforementioned to shut their traps." "Hmm." "We didn't put the squeeze on no merchants." "We ain't robbed nobody." "And we sure as hill didn't kill a guy called Fore Mentioned." "That's how it is." " Obviously you can prove it." " Obviously." "Great, let's hear it." "Uh, Charlie." "When and where did we blast this Fore Mentioned?" "That's a point, out with it." "The evening of the, the evening of the 21st between 10 and 12 PM at St. Paul's Hospital." "The evening of the 21st." "Yeah, the evening of the 21st." "For your information, smart guy, on the evenin' of the 21st between 10 and midnight, him and me was eatin' supper in the house of one of those Italian merchants, who, according to you, we extorted the dough from." "What?" "Spaghetti and meatballs and raspberry ice cream." "Good." "I made the ice cream myself." "I'm an expert." "Get your ass down to 12 Street and get those merchants' stories and make it fast." "Yeah." " Now!" " Now?" "Oh, okay, boss." "(grunting)" "(chuckling) He fell down." "(thudding) (chuckling)" "He hit the door." "By the way, where were you on the evening of the 21st?" "Evening of the 21st." "Yeah, 21st." " Well I, I was on duty." " Likely story." "Where?" "Well, right off the bat like that, it's not easy to remember." "I gotta think about that." "I'll tell ya where you were." "You were at Senator O'Riordan's place." "That's right." "How'd you know?" "I just happened to be passin' by there on the way to supper with my friends on 12th Street." "Now there's a coincidence for ya." "Life sure plays strange tricks sometimes." "What do you know about the Senator's death?" "Well, the newspapers came up with a lot of guesses." "Yeah, I remember." "Didn't they say it was some kind of conspiracy or somethin' like that?" "Well, the truth is the old lush got tanked and brought home a couple of hundred dollar floozies." "He had a banana peel in his button hole." "It fell out, he slipped on it, and busted his noggin open when he fell into the empty swimming pool." "That's your theory I suppose, huh?" "Then it really was an accidental death." "That's right." "The two floozies saw it happen, but, you know public opinion, a Senator's always a Senator, not just any ordinary pipsqueak." "But those two guys at the hospital, they got put outta the way, huh?" "Well, the fact is, you see." "Just a minute, be right back." "Well?" "It's a put-up job." "Start all over, boss," " they're not Angelo's boys." " What?" "They're Department of the Interior men investigating' illegal methods of police investigation." "On the night of the 21st, they had supper at the house of one of these 12th Street merchant guys named Girace." "What is worse is that the other day, some dumb cop beat up the whole Girace family" " to make 'em talk." " No!" "[Cop] That's how it is, boss." "Gentlemen, you may leave with the humble apologies of the police department." "Your alibi is absolutely beyond doubt." "Now, look, fellas, I know" "I should've taken your word for it." "I know I should've believed you." "But you know how it is." "Investigate to the limits of the law." "That's my motto." "And that's a damn good motto." "Just out of curiosity, Lieutenant, those two Calosemo punks are dead, right?" " I know this isn't ethical." " That's all right, let's go." "But?" "What would you have done in my place?" "You can't bust those crooks with the means we have." "Yeah, so you locked up those meatballs and passed the word that they been knocked off, so as to start a gang war." "It was the only way to clean up the city, believe me." "I believe ya." "(chuckling)" "I suppose you'll have to make out a report." "Hey." "Don't worry, as far as we're concerned, ya, ya locked those guys up in the cellar for life." "(crashing)" "How'd it go, Chief?" "Bad for you guys." "It's back to directin' traffic for you." "[Cop] Jiminy!" "Hey, you gotta admit, letting' 'em think we're investigators was a good idea, huh?" "Yeah, but the idea of disappearing' for a while is better." "Hey, they don't waste no time." "What do ya expect?" "That's the result of your bright idea of putting the snatch on Calosemo's boys." "What are you doing?" "Wait a minute and you'll see." " What's that mean?" " It means Charlie Smith the gangster is dead and Charlie Smith the wrestler is back in town." "What?" "You can't leave me in a mess like this." "I ain't leaving' you." "You're the one who wants to stay." " What?" " You heard me." "You better start gettin' smart like me, buddy." "You're not cut out for this game." "No way." "Remember what I been tellin' ya." "You'll change your tune when you find out..." "Get your ass outta the rackets." "You better stay away from me, you dirty Irishman!" "(cheerful instrumental music)" "Angelo's havin' a hell of a time with that kid." "Guess what I got in my pocket." "(speaking foreign language)" "What a beautiful baby." "Look, no matter what anybody tells ya, best food for the baby is mother's milk." "Yeah, look at me, I was raised on it." "[Charlie] Anybody home?"
