[00:03:48]>> Jeff is missing.

[00:03:58]>> Jeff is missing.

[00:04:05]>> What happened to Jeff?

[00:04:08]>> Well, it was yesterday. I went into New York to see about a job. I thought I could get some proof reading and that I could do at home and earn some extra money. And when I got home around 4:00, there was a note from Fred.

[00:04:20]>> Oh, what is Fred, that charming brother of yours, got to do with it?

[00:04:24]>> Well, he lives with me.

[00:04:25]>> Since when?

[00:04:26]>> About a year ago.

[00:04:41]Choo choo train. Well, you see, Jeff loves to ride some train. Fred must know. I waited up all night. I haven't been to >> Who's this elder?

[00:04:48]>> He's the doctor Fred shares an office with. I've never liked him, but Fred says that >> one of the police, >> Max, I haven't been to the police.

[00:04:58]>> What?

[00:04:59]>> That's it. I'm so frightened, Max. It's this Dr. Elder. He keeps warning me not to go to the police. He said he won't be responsible for anything.

[00:05:07]>> I don't know why. He won't even tell me where Fred went. Oh, Max. Jeff is so little. If anything happens, I I can't think about it.

[00:05:21]>> Where do I find Miss Elbert?

[00:05:23]>> He's in his office across the hall from me every night from 8 to 10:00.

[00:05:28]>> Gives me an hour.

[00:05:31]I'll be there. Don't say anything.

[00:05:35]>> I won't, Max.

[00:05:38]>> Georgia.

[00:05:45]Got a picture of Jeff. It's been a long time.

[00:05:56]>> Taken about 6 months ago.

[00:06:03]>> Thanks, Max.

[00:06:04]>> It's mine, too. You know, >> you will come.

[00:06:07]>> I said I'd be there. Heat.

[00:06:30]Heat.

[00:06:34]Smitty.

[00:07:05]Hey, Smitty.

[00:07:08]>> Hear me out, boys.

[00:07:14]>> Well, look what's up on its feet. Say, what that damn duty after that last dad?

[00:07:18]I didn't expect to see you around for two or three days, son.

[00:07:21]>> That was my ex-wife.

[00:07:23]>> Oh, some class.

[00:07:24]>> I need five bucks, Mitty.

[00:07:26]>> Here, I'll save you a trip to the car.

[00:07:28]You better take a shop right now, too.

[00:07:30]You look kind of rocky.

[00:07:31]>> No, I'm laying off tonight. Say, "Listen, Max, the clients in my high class rats nest don't like no sober house dick." Say, "Go ahead."

[00:07:40]>> I said, "No."

[00:07:42]>> What's eating you?

[00:07:44]>> My kid's missing.

[00:07:46]>> Your kids? Say, "I didn't even know you had a kid."

[00:07:49]>> Yeah, I got one. Only the last time I saw him, he wasn't even old enough to sit up by himself.

[00:07:54]>> I can imagine how you must feel on you with the cops.

[00:07:56]>> No, no cops.

[00:07:58]>> Snatch?

[00:07:58]>> I don't know. That's what I'm going to find out for myself.

[00:08:01]>> Hey, listen. You've been out of the game a long time, X. And what comes out of these bottles ain't no health tonic.

[00:08:07]>> Spinny, you're going to give me that five bucks, aren't you?

[00:08:10]>> Okay. Okay.

[00:08:17]>> Thanks.

[00:08:19]I get out of next week.

[00:08:24]You know anything about a guy called Elder? Doc Elder?

[00:08:29]I know what I know because I keep it to myself.

[00:08:33]>> Smitty, I told you my kid was missing.

[00:08:35]Do you know anything about a guy called Doc Elder?

[00:08:39]>> Run out of Philadelphia a while back for sewing up gun wounds. Shifty.

[00:08:45]>> Thanks.

[00:08:47]Got any cigarettes?

[00:08:48]>> Yeah.

[00:08:51]>> Get your own.

[00:08:55]>> Is that a little mixed up in this?

[00:08:57]>> From what Georgia says, yes, he is. In what way were you?

[00:08:59]>> I don't know.

[00:09:01]>> Look, when are you going to get this thing fixed?

[00:09:03]>> Take it easy, son. Take it easy. I found about it today.

[00:09:06]>> This thing chews up half your smokes.

[00:09:08]>> You're so wound up, you're going to throw a spring.

[00:09:11]>> Yeah, I know. See you later.

[00:09:15]>> I'll be here when you want me.

[00:10:01]Hi.

[00:10:06]I was afraid he'd be gone, but there's still a light under his door. Are you all right?

[00:10:12]>> I'm sober if that's what you mean.

[00:10:15]>> Be careful, Max.

[00:10:30]Come in, please, and close the door.

[00:10:33]I said close the door.

[00:10:44]I expect Mr. Otto Vargas recommended me.

[00:10:48]I I've been waiting for a call from one of Vargas' friends. Just raise your hands, please, for the examination.

[00:10:57]I said raise your hands.

[00:11:02]I like to conduct my examination in my own way.

[00:11:09]H no gun.

[00:11:14]Sit down, please.

[00:11:26]Oh, you're not the man I thought you were.

[00:11:30]Vargas wouldn't send a man over here in your condition. My curbstone diagnosis of you is a good physique gone to party.

[00:11:38]Right now, you're suffering from a bad hangover.

[00:11:41]>> Well, I know my diagnosis of you.

[00:11:44]You're a shifty eye out for a fast buck with the guts of an angle.

[00:11:49]>> Who are you?

[00:11:49]>> I'll ask the question.

[00:11:52]Where's your partner, Fred Mace, and my boy?

[00:11:54]>> You're a boy, huh?

[00:11:57]So, that's who you are. Answer my question. There's going to be trouble.

[00:12:03]>> There won't be any trouble.

[00:12:07]I've had patients like you in here before. Never any trouble.

[00:12:12]Having time for trouble. Besides, I've got a very important engagement.

[00:12:25]You'd better leave.

[00:12:32]Everything will be fine in a moment.

[00:12:51]Who are you?

[00:13:20]There we are.

[00:13:22]Now, bye-bye, Mr. Thursday.

[00:13:26]>> I'm not going any of >> I'm afraid you must.

[00:13:29]>> Not until you answer my question.

[00:13:33]>> Licorice, huh?

[00:13:35]>> Yes, licorice.

[00:13:39]imported too.

[00:13:42]Pleasant, it's a little illegal.

[00:13:47]>> You've had plenty of experience in Pennsylvania with the illegal, haven't you?

[00:13:53]>> It's time for you to go. Past time.

[00:13:57]>> You want me to go answer my question?

[00:13:59]Where's my boy?

[00:14:02]>> I'm afraid I don't know where Dr. Mason and your boy are.

[00:14:07]>> You're lying, doctor.

[00:14:09]Think I'll just wait around and meet your friend, Mr. St. Paul.

[00:14:14]>> Do you know Mr. St. Paul? Mr. Thursday?

[00:14:16]>> I know a lot of things.

[00:14:18]>> Oh, no you don't. You're a dipo, a drunk.

[00:14:26]>> You know what you are? You're nothing but a low down l I'm afraid you're right. I am.

[00:14:41]Max, wake up. Hey, Max.

[00:14:47]Wake up, kid. Come on.

[00:14:49]Come on. Here's some coffee for you. Try it. It'll do you good. Come on. It won't be bad.

[00:14:55]>> Sean is good.

[00:14:56]>> You got a good memory, Max.

[00:15:01]>> I mob squeeze us out.

[00:15:06]How'd I get in here?

[00:15:07]>> Well, I picked up last night about 10:00 the prowl car. Well, you were lying out in the rain.

[00:15:14]>> Yeah. Rain elder.

[00:15:21]>> How long I've been in here?

[00:15:22]>> About 12 14 hours.

[00:15:27]>> I got to get out of here.

[00:15:28]>> All right, you will. You got to see Captain Tanetti first.

[00:15:32]>> Oh, Tedetti. I don't want to see Tanetti. Those are orders, Max.

[00:15:39]>> All right, let's get it over.

[00:15:40]>> Come on, let's go.

[00:15:42]Come on.

[00:15:44]Take your time.

[00:16:09]S.

[00:16:14]>> Hey, wasn't that Max Thursday?

[00:16:16]>> Yeah, that's who the great Max Thursday.

[00:16:18]He was always too cocky for me.

[00:16:23]>> Okay.

[00:16:34]It's been a long time.

[00:16:36]>> Yeah.

[00:16:38]>> Sit down.

[00:16:48]I got to get out of here. Mark, >> sit down. Max, this is a lousy business.

[00:16:56]I should have been a priest like my mother wanted.

[00:16:58]>> Get the confessions either way.

[00:17:00]>> Never mind the jokes.

[00:17:03]>> What happened, Max? What's happened to you?

[00:17:06]>> Liquor was imported and I'm used to Rocka.

[00:17:08]>> I don't mean last night. We'll get to that later. I mean, you you look at yourself.

[00:17:15]>> The law says I have to listen to this, is there?

[00:17:19]>> Yes, there's a law. We were friends.

[00:17:21]>> I've got a right to know. I thought you had guts.

[00:17:23]>> I'll worry about my guts. You just give me that little slip of paper and I'll leave. You let the newspapers beat you.

[00:17:29]That's what you did.

[00:17:31]I understand about the folder case. No sleeve, tension, waiting 72 hours for that hood to walk through the door. I would have had a bottle handy myself.

[00:17:41]Just tough that a lousy reporter got a whiff of the whiskey and turned on the heat.

[00:17:45]>> Why do we have to go through all that again?

[00:17:46]>> Because I've got to know what's happened to you. All right. So, the papers massacred you and you were on every front page for a week and had to suspend you. But that they'll knock out a cop like you. You knew sooner or later you'll be back here with me. What happened, Max? What happened?

[00:18:02]>> Just decided to stop being a cop.

[00:18:05]>> I don't believe it. Not you.

[00:18:09]You like being a cop. You liked it better than anything in the world.

[00:18:14]>> I just didn't know about cops. Mark, >> what are you talking about?

[00:18:18]>> Ask Georgia. Ask them what they're like in the house. They like to shove people around. They're bad for their kids and neglect their wives. They like violence.

[00:18:27]They carry guns.

[00:18:30]There's muscle men that like to use their muscles. You know that.

[00:18:33]>> That's a lot of Yeah.

[00:18:37]The rug was pulled out from under me here. You know what Georgia said? She said, "This was my big chance. A big chance to stay out."

[00:18:45]You know, I believed her.

[00:18:50]What does a muscle man do and he can't use his muscles? He becomes a long shoreman, file clerk, cabby, or an insurance salesman.

[00:19:01]Maybe you don't know about insurance salesman. I'll tell you. Little different from being a cop. You don't tell people. You ask them.

[00:19:09]You ask them and you smile until your face aches.

[00:19:15]You call up people you hardly even know.

[00:19:18]Guys you played poker with 10 years ago.

[00:19:21]Guys you once did a favor for. Guys you can't stand the sight of.

[00:19:27]You walk right in and you smile and they smile back. Cop who got thrown off the force because he was drunk. Has to be kind of a joke. See, it's tougher and tougher to walk in.

[00:19:42]One day you take a drink to help, the next time you decide maybe two would be better, and then one day you decide to take three drinks and not walk in at all. You fill in the rest, Mark.

[00:19:57]Now, can I get out of here? I say, can I get out of here?

[00:20:04]Sorry, Max. We're going to take a look at a body. I'm not interested in looking at a body.

[00:20:11]You should be. The body's named Elder.

[00:20:19]>> Take off the blanket, Doc.

[00:20:20]>> It ain't neat, Mark.

[00:20:22]>> Nobody's going to faint. Take it off.

[00:20:24]>> Okay, here he is.

[00:20:27]>> What hit him?

[00:20:28]>> I figure a 25 caliber rifle.

[00:20:31]>> What about those bruises on the side of his neck?

[00:20:33]>> Oh, contusion. He got poked >> with what?

[00:20:36]>> You tell me. whatever it is knocked him out before he was shot, >> which was when?

[00:20:40]>> Well, let's say somewhere between 8:30 and 10:30. Now, can I put him away or do you want them on permanent exhibition?

[00:20:48]>> Well, I've had enough performers.

[00:20:51]Let's get back to the office. You better start dreaming up some bright answers.

[00:20:58]Put him on nice big sit, Georgia.

[00:21:10]I want you to tell your story just as you told it to me this morning.

[00:21:15]>> Didn't you know I'm suspect number one?

[00:21:17]No alibi.

[00:21:19]>> Mark, I >> go on with your statement.

[00:21:22]About 5 minutes after Max arrived last night, the phone rang. Right.

[00:21:28]>> Yes. I >> And >> well, I couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman on the phone. The voice just said if I hurry down to the drugstore at the corner of Cranberry and Henry Street that I'd hear about Jeff and Fred.

[00:21:43]So, I I rushed out of the house and got a taxi and went there. And when I when I got there, there was nobody in the store but the proprietor, and he didn't know what I was talking about.

[00:21:58]So I So I got another taxi and went back home. And as the taxi drove up in front of the house, I I saw the front door open.

[00:22:13]>> Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Hold it, Jay.

[00:22:17]Is this something you didn't tell me this morning?

[00:22:21]>> Mark, I was so upset this morning. I don't know what I told you.

[00:22:24]>> I do.

[00:22:26]>> You told me you got home around 10:00, saw nothing, heard nothing, and went right to bed.

[00:22:32]>> Well, oh, Mark, that isn't true at all.

[00:22:35]It I mean, that isn't what really happened.

[00:22:39]It was much earlier, probably around 9:30. And as I sat in the taxi in the front of the house, I saw Dr. Elder helping Max down the steps.

[00:22:47]>> You just waited in the cab. You didn't speak to him.

[00:22:51]>> Well, well, Max had been drinking and he doesn't like me to see him that way.

[00:22:58]>> That ought to do it just fine.

[00:23:02]>> Only It's a little dangerous.

[00:23:04]>> Dangerous >> for you? I mean, it involves you pretty deep. Deeper, I imagine, than you really know. A false alibi.

[00:23:12]>> Now, wait a minute, Mark. Save that for the station house. Who says that Georgia's statement isn't true?

[00:23:19]How about that slip of paper that gets me out of here?

[00:23:25]I can crack that alibi anytime I want to, and you know it. For the time being, I'm going to let it ride.

[00:23:32]Now, how about letting loose with some of that information you pride out of, Elder?

[00:23:36]>> You're honor. I didn't have any.

[00:23:41]Maybe you can convince him that the police department has a better chance of finding your boy than he has.

[00:23:47]Maybe he'll talk to you.

[00:24:02]>> Go ahead. Say it.

[00:24:05]>> There's nothing to say. It's my fault. I should have remembered Elder kept a bottle of Pino handy.

[00:24:12]>> All right, so I got drunk.

[00:24:14]What do you want me to do? Want to stand in a corner and write I won't do it again a h 100red times? Is that what you want?

[00:24:20]>> All I want is Jeff back.

[00:24:23]You're going to tell Mark everything you found out from Elder.

[00:24:27]>> Now play this my way.

[00:24:28]>> I've seen your way. That wasn't the last puddle in the world.

[00:24:32]>> That's not happening again. You understand?

[00:24:34]>> Yes. Yes, I understand, Max.

[00:24:38]Just as I understood two years ago, remember it wasn't going to happen again then either. Was it the next day or the day after?

[00:24:47]>> That was two years ago.

[00:24:52]>> You're going to tell Mark everything you found out from Elder? Everything.

[00:24:57]Or I'm going to tell him I lied about seeing you leave the house. I don't know why I did it anyway.

[00:25:01]>> I'll tell you why you did it. Cuz you know I didn't kill Elder. I want Jeff back, too. And I know what I'm doing. I was good when I was on the force. You know that.

[00:25:10]>> You said it yourself, Max. That was two years ago. Two very long years.

[00:25:15]>> Listen, this isn't ordinary kidnapping.

[00:25:18]There's nothing to go on. There's nothing to hold on to. There's no answer to to how or why.

[00:25:22]>> What makes you think you can get the answers?

[00:25:25]>> You think anybody on this force, even Mark, will go after this the way I will?

[00:25:30]I've got to get that boy. I've got to get him before those police badges start showing up in all the wrong places and this whole mess explodes. And it will explode.

[00:25:39]I'm not trying to throw a scare into you, Georgia, but when it does, anything can happen. You understand? Anything.

[00:25:47]And I'm laying off the bottle. All I need is a little more time.

[00:25:51]>> There is no time.

[00:25:52]>> All right. So, there isn't any more time. I'll have to do without it.

[00:25:57]Tell Mark anything you want. Feel any better, kid?

[00:26:06]>> Not much. Soap and water help. Hard me back.

[00:26:12]>> I don't know.

[00:26:14]Things didn't go so well, huh?

[00:26:17]>> No, Danetti tried to pin Elers's murder on me.

[00:26:21]>> A murder? Say, didn't know it'd be that tough.

[00:26:25]>> Yeah, it's tough. I need your help, Smitty. Me?

[00:26:30]Were the cops in it? Huh?

[00:26:32]>> Doesn't mean I'm out of it.

[00:26:34]>> Did you get any talk out of Elder?

[00:26:37]>> No. You waved a bottle into my nose.

[00:26:40]>> Well, couple of slugs wouldn't do you any harm right now.

[00:26:43]>> More than a couple.

[00:26:44]>> Have I ever complained?

[00:26:47]Go ahead. Go ahead. Drink it.

[00:26:50]Say now what the >> I'm sorry, Smitty.

[00:26:53]>> Don't forget it. It's better than furniture polish.

[00:26:58]Keep the court in the bottle and don't offer me another drink. The 24 hours gone already. There isn't that much time.

[00:27:04]>> Oh, slow down, kid. Slow down. What did you get out of Elder besides the shakes?

[00:27:10]>> I know that he's afraid of a guy named Barkcus.

[00:27:14]First thought I was one of Vargas' men.

[00:27:16]>> Should have thought about that.

[00:27:18]>> Who is it, Smitty?

[00:27:23]>> It's the only shirt I could find. It cost me a buck.98.

[00:27:27]>> Okay, I'll take care of it.

[00:27:28]>> It's the best I could do on your coat.

[00:27:30]>> Thanks.

[00:27:31]>> All they had was pastrami, boss.

[00:27:33]>> I don't want no pastrrami. There isn't that much time.

[00:27:36]>> You're going to take time if you want me to talk to me.

[00:27:39]>> You ought to know better, Max. She always gets her way.

[00:27:42]>> Okay. Okay, Harvey, go out and cover the desk.

[00:27:48]>> Say, when are you going to get a rubber tip for that pogo stick?

[00:32:49]9 Hallelujah. Amen.

[00:33:27]86.

[00:33:38]I ain't in good shape.

[00:33:41]I got a condition. See, >> be in a lot worse condition if the cops knew that Elder was scared you were going to knock him off.

[00:33:54]>> I keep very calm. See, very calm. That's orders. I don't get excited.

[00:34:03]>> Got to alarm somehow.

[00:34:05]>> Bird handles all the excitement for me.

[00:34:09]>> You ever see this mug before?

[00:34:12]>> No, I haven't.

[00:34:20]>> Thursday.

[00:34:23]Max Thursday. Maybe.

[00:34:24]>> That's it. Max Thursday. I thought you look familiar.

[00:34:30]You're the one that got red foldier with a gun and a quart of whiskey in your gullet.

[00:34:43]I always like Red.

[00:34:48]Red was a good guy.

[00:34:53]I got to stop doing things like that.

[00:34:54]It's bad for me.

[00:35:07]All right. Now, what's all this talk about, Elder?

[00:35:13]>> I was with him 2 hours before he was shot. You thought at first I was one of your boys, >> but I'd see you about it before I saw the police.

[00:35:22]>> Don't try any threats with me. What were you doing without her?

[00:35:26]>> The same thing I'm doing here. I'm looking for his partner, Dr. Fred Mace.

[00:35:31]Give me a lead on him and I'll keep my mouth shut about you.

[00:35:34]>> You see what I mean, Bert? Tough.

[00:35:38]You got a lot of guts coming in here.

[00:35:41]You must think you're still on the force.

[00:35:47]>> Are you taking my proposition or leaving it?

[00:35:49]>> A lot of guts.

[00:35:52]Too many. What's your answer?

[00:35:54]>> Sit down.

[00:36:03]>> All right.

[00:36:05]What's this fella? Mace got you on so bad.

[00:36:09]>> Got my boy with him.

[00:36:11]>> Oh, that's it. Your kids with him.

[00:36:18]>> That's too bad, ain't it, Bert?

[00:36:20]>> Art, you know that doc. Ah, my first cigar in 3 days. Don't give me no smoo about no doubt. Get out there and work that erector set. Build yourself a ferris wheel. Get out of here.

[00:36:37]All right.

[00:36:42]You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to give you a lead.

[00:36:46]You ever hear of a hoodlm named Stitch Olivea?

[00:36:50]>> No.

[00:36:58]Bad boy Stitch. He's from Boston.

[00:37:03]He's got a scarf from here to here. And he takes it out on anybody that gets in his way.

[00:37:10]I hear he's in town on a special job.

[00:37:16]Very special job.

[00:37:18]>> What's his connection? I'm just telling you to keep an eye out for him. And if you find him, I'll pay you a grand.

[00:37:30]That's so you'll know him in case you run across him.

[00:37:38]I got some special friends. Get me little pictures like that.

[00:37:47]See who's coming up on the elevator, Burton.

[00:37:51]Now, if you're smart, you'll clam up about this.

[00:37:56]>> Maybe I'll play it smart.

[00:38:03]>> Well, I find St. Paul.

[00:38:08]A guy like you can make an awful lot of trouble for himself.

[00:38:14]What do you know about St. Paul?

[00:38:18]>> I just want to find him.

[00:38:20]>> So do a lot of people. Locate Olivivering and get to St. Paul. That's why it's worth a grand to me.

[00:38:26]>> Then maybe we'll do business.

[00:38:28]>> Maybe. Now get out. I got to take my pulse again. Just jumping. Get out.

[00:38:36]>> St. Paul seems to make a lot of people nervous.

[00:38:39]>> Come on. Get out of here. Get out.

[00:39:00]What seems to be a trouble, honey?

[00:39:03]>> I like the smell of your perfume, honey.

[00:39:08]>> The name is Angel.

[00:39:10]>> You don't have to prove it to me.

[00:39:12]>> I uh hate to break you two love birds up, but he's waiting.

[00:39:18]>> You know where Talios is?

[00:39:20]>> No.

[00:39:24]Well, it's on 8th in Flatbush, and don't come there about 10:30 or so because that's where I work.

[00:39:32]>> Thanks for the tip.

[00:39:33]>> Let's go, baby.

[00:39:42]>> All right, you're next, Jack.

[00:39:49]She a friend of Arcus'. You know, Jack, I think I'd like to have Oh, about a 10 grand policy on your life. You'd never be around to collect it.

[00:39:59]What's the time?

[00:40:01]It's 20 minutes to wait.

[00:40:04]If I were you, Jack, I'd make every minute count.

[00:40:33]Don't worry, I'm still silver.

[00:40:36]Turn some lights.

[00:40:40]>> I didn't even know it was dark.

[00:40:42]I've been waiting here all day. I don't think I can wait much longer.

[00:40:46]>> What happened to my bluecoated ex buddies across the way?

[00:40:50]>> The last one's left about 1:30.

[00:40:52]When you rang the doorbell, I thought I thought it's the police again and they found Jeff and he's he's not alive.

[00:40:59]>> Jeff's alive. All right, >> Max, you found out something.

[00:41:01]>> No, not yet. But I believe that he's alive. And you've got to believe that, too. Georgia, listen. When I came here last night, there was a girl just leaving, a blonde. She had on a brown raincoat and a beret.

[00:41:11]>> Yes, I remember. She was here to see Elder.

[00:41:15]>> Who was she?

[00:41:16]>> I never paid any attention to any of his patients. They were all cheap and strange.

[00:41:20]>> Well, didn't Fred know what kind of a doctor this elder was.

[00:41:23]>> I suppose he knew, but Elder was paying most of the rent, and I think he was loaning Fred money. Besides, >> that would make a happy difference with Fred. It >> was because of some girl. He He couldn't stop seeing her.

[00:41:33]>> What was her name?

[00:41:35]>> I never even saw her. I think he met her through Elder.

[00:41:38]Georgia, did you ever hear Fred or Elder talk about a man called St. Paul?

[00:41:43]>> No.

[00:41:43]>> You're sure now? Because this is important.

[00:41:45]>> Oh, please, Max. No more questions, please. I I can't think straight.

[00:41:50]Please.

[00:41:52]>> All right.

[00:41:54]No more questions.

[00:41:58]Any whiskey in the house?

[00:42:04]>> Whiskey?

[00:42:06]>> Yes. Where is it?

[00:42:11]There's always a bottle in Elder's office.

[00:42:14]>> I should have remembered that.

[00:42:37]Max, you can't. Why not?

[00:42:41]It's what you need here.

[00:42:44]Come on. Drink it.

[00:42:48]All of it.

[00:42:57]At least it'll loosen up those muscles in your neck.

[00:43:04]Okay, we better go on back to bed. What time is it?

[00:43:14]>> 20 8.

[00:43:17]I'm going back to Elder's office and have a look around for myself. There's got to be some piece of an answer.

[00:43:45]too long ago.

[00:43:57]But I told you to get some sleep.

[00:44:01]>> I can't.

[00:44:03]Do you mind if I sit in here? I I don't want to be alone.

[00:44:08]>> Do anything you like.

[00:44:21]Max, I have to ask you something.

[00:44:25]>> Okay, go ahead.

[00:44:26]>> Why did you leave me?

[00:44:28]>> Some other time, Georgia.

[00:44:30]>> Was it because you stopped loving me?

[00:44:34]Is that why you started drinking?

[00:44:40]>> Let's forget it, Georgia.

[00:44:42]What you need is some sleep. I was wrong about you being a cop.

[00:44:47]>> Here, take one of these.

[00:44:50]>> What are they?

[00:44:51]>> Something to help you relax.

[00:44:54]>> Come on. You're too wound up for that whiskey to do any good. Just throw it against the back of your throat and swallow.

[00:45:06]>> All right. Light.

[00:45:19]I'll just forget about everything. Huh?

[00:45:24]Some things you can't forget.

[00:45:27]No matter how hard you try, too many things to remind you, like this robe, for instance.

[00:45:43]>> Remember?

[00:45:44]>> Yeah, I I remember.

[00:45:47]>> There were some good days, weren't there, Max?

[00:45:53]>> Sure, there were good days of of some of the best. Heat. Heat.

[00:46:26]Now, why would a guy who was so stingy that he'd save his tobacco from cigarette butts, throw away a perfectly good sponge? Huh?

[00:47:12]Georgia.

[00:47:45]All right. What did I have?

[00:47:52]>> Nothing. What do you mean nothing?

[00:47:54]>> What time is it?

[00:47:56]>> It's 10:30.

[00:48:10]>> You got a nickel.

[00:48:38]How about it? Velvet Eyes. Yes or no?

[00:48:42]The answer is no.

[00:48:46]You know this character?

[00:48:49]>> Yeah, I know him.

[00:48:50]>> You want I should get rid of him.

[00:48:53]>> No, I want you should go away. You make me feel like I got wrinkles in my stockings.

[00:49:00]>> What happened to your other sucker, Angel?

[00:49:04]Did he run out of $10 bills?

[00:49:06]>> Why don't you get out of here? Go on.

[00:49:09]Flo.

[00:49:16]Charlie.

[00:49:17]>> Yeah.

[00:49:18]>> Give me a drink.

[00:49:22]>> Your friend here says he don't want anything.

[00:49:26]>> Oh, he'll take the same as I have.

[00:49:29]>> Not for now.

[00:49:31]>> Look, I don't work here for my health. I get a cut.

[00:49:35]>> Oh, you know you shouldn't be working for a living.

[00:49:40]>> No. What should I be doing?

[00:49:42]>> Oh, I don't know. Lying on a nice warm Florida beach with me right alongside you, maybe. You know, you and I would make a great combination once we started playing together.

[00:49:55]>> What makes you think that we'd be playing together?

[00:49:58]>> I just got an idea. Haven't you?

[00:50:03]>> Maybe. Just don't rush me, friend.

[00:50:07]>> Who's going to rush you when you're on Vargas' list?

[00:50:11]I'm on nobody's list. I wouldn't let that gorilla hold my hand. He's just a, you know, a business acquaintance.

[00:50:20]>> Yeah. He's also the inventor of the double cross.

[00:50:24]>> He's not going to double cross me cuz I got something he wants and he's going to pay plenty for it.

[00:50:31]>> Do you mean Vargas is going to pay you for something he wants? Oh, baby. I thought you had a brain.

[00:50:36]>> I got one. All right. Don't worry. is invarcus takes what he wants. One squawk out of you and you're going to wake up some morning under a pier with that pretty face of yours down. What are >> you trying to do? Scare me?

[00:50:51]Funny man sitting there talking, not even touching your drink?

[00:51:01]>> You've had a glass in your hand before.

[00:51:03]I can tell that.

[00:51:06]Well, I was just staying sober long enough to give you a little advice. No, Tvarus, you're nothing but a two for a nickel day. He can get rid of you any rainy afternoon.

[00:51:16]>> You know, I don't like that kind of talk.

[00:51:19]>> Charlie, give us a couple of more drinks and this time put some ice in them.

[00:51:22]>> Right.

[00:51:24]>> You interested in ice, Angel?

[00:51:30]>> It's a nice hunk of it.

[00:51:38]Where did you get that?

[00:51:41]>> Remember Dr. Elder?

[00:51:43]>> Elder?

[00:51:45]Oh, hey, you aren't the one who >> Well, I got it, haven't I?

[00:51:52]>> Yeah. I I I didn't know you were that kind of an operator.

[00:51:56]>> I always get what I want, baby.

[00:52:00]>> What What do you want now?

[00:52:02]>> You rest of the ice.

[00:52:04]Oh, well, I I I I don't know anything about it. I I >> Look, you were at Elders the night he was shot.

[00:52:11]>> How do you know that? I say, who are you anyhow?

[00:52:16]>> Oh, I'm just that fellow that wants to drive you down the Florida beach in a nice yellow convertible.

[00:52:21]You keep monkeying around with Vargas, and the only ride you're going to take is going to be in a hearse.

[00:52:28]>> Why don't you get out of here? I think you're too smart for this world. Go on, get out of here.

[00:52:32]>> Okay.

[00:52:35]Sorry I won't be seeing you around.

[00:52:40]>> No, wait a minute. I >> All right.

[00:52:49]But I I need a drink first. Okay.

[00:52:52]>> Okay.

[00:52:58]All right. What you got?

[00:53:07]>> The rest of the necklace.

[00:53:09]>> You got it.

[00:53:11]>> Well, I got the guy who knows where it is.

[00:53:19]>> Fred Mace.

[00:53:21]>> Yeah. The boy doctor lies there crying.

[00:53:26]Hates me. hates himself.

[00:53:28]>> Where is he?

[00:53:30]>> Well, I got him hidden away just fine.

[00:53:34]>> Is he alone?

[00:53:36]>> Sure he's alone.

[00:53:38]>> Hadn't got a kid with him.

[00:53:41]>> I don't know anything about any kid.

[00:53:43]>> Are you sure?

[00:53:44]>> Sure, I'm sure.

[00:53:47]You're trying to to break my wrist on me.

[00:53:50]>> What kind of a deal did you make with Parkers?

[00:53:53]>> 50/50.

[00:53:56]I figured if Freddy wouldn't talk to him, I'd get one of Otto's men to come to him.

[00:54:02]>> Was Elder working for Varcus?

[00:54:05]>> No, he was working for some guy called St. Paul.

[00:54:08]>> St. Paul?

[00:54:10]>> Yeah. St. Paul had the contacts to smuggle stuff into the country. And Elder was the pickup man.

[00:54:17]>> Do you know St. Paul?

[00:54:19]>> No, I never seen him. But boy, Elder was sure scared of him. That's why he had Freddy pick up the stuff for him.

[00:54:28]>> Freddy kept the stuff for himself, huh?

[00:54:30]>> Freddy?

[00:54:33]Now, he dumped it someplace and then he got himself all shot up by someone who was just out to hijack him and then crawl back to me like a bleeding pig.

[00:54:45]I went to Elder that night. I told that grifter he'd have to pay me plenty.

[00:54:51]And the next day, I read that he bumped off.

[00:54:56]I figured maybe that's little angel's big chance.

[00:55:00]But will Freddy boy talk to me? Oh no.

[00:55:04]Start shouting, calling me names, acting as if he sprouted wings all of a sudden.

[00:55:10]That's why I thought maybe one of's boys might be the one to talk to him. I guess I I should have thought more about it. I >> You know, we better get to Maze before Barkas did.

[00:55:23]Oh, Bakus doesn't know where he's hidden.

[00:55:25]>> You don't think he's trying to find out?

[00:55:30]>> Well, I hadn't thought about that.

[00:55:32]>> Look, is there a back door to this place?

[00:55:35]>> Yeah, back there.

[00:55:36]>> Get out of here.

[00:56:14]I wish I had a drink. Got the shakes like it was the North Pole.

[00:56:22]You know, I I I must be out of my mind or something.

[00:56:25]>> What's eating you?

[00:56:26]>> Well, guys have been lying to me all my life. Why shouldn't you be any different?

[00:56:32]>> Here.

[00:56:36]>> Why should you? Why don't you tell me what?

[00:56:41]>> I'll show you.

[00:56:51]She maybe you are different.

[00:57:05]>> Oh, I got such a yen for you. It hurts like a toothache.

[00:57:11]>> I have to stand in the pain just a little longer, baby. We've got work to do. Hey, you weren't kidding me about that Florida deal, were you? Well, you ought to see me in one of those Riviera bathing suits with the middle missing.

[00:57:24]Oh, wow.

[00:57:25]>> Yeah. Yeah. Look, how how far is this place? Huh?

[00:57:28]>> Oh, it's just a couple of streets.

[00:57:39]You know, I told the guy who was supposed to take care of this belongs to the house that I wanted to store something div.

[00:57:50]>> Put your hands on the banister and don't move.

[00:57:54]>> You know, you and this ex cop over here, lady, you shouldn't try to double cross Marcus because he just doesn't like it.

[00:58:00]>> Exc?

[00:58:01]>> Shut up and come down the stairs to both of you and don't try anything funny.

[00:58:05]>> Look, I didn't mean to double cross you.

[00:58:07]I >> sure sure I know all about it. But why don't you tell it to Otto? It'll be a lot funnier then.

[00:58:12]>> I'll come down here. The both of you.

[00:58:25]>> Leave him alone. Get Mason. You got everything.

[00:58:30]Come on. Leave him alone. Let's get Mace. Go.

[01:01:38]>> Can't do it, George. It's all right.

[01:01:39]>> I can do it. Lie down here.

[01:01:52]I'll get you another shirt. Fred has lots of them upstairs.

[01:01:58]>> I always got to enjoy it.

[01:02:00]>> To Jeff?

[01:02:01]>> Oh, to Fred.

[01:02:03]That was within 50 ft of within 50 ft of finding out where Jeff is.

[01:02:09]Is that almost again, George? Almost.

[01:02:11]>> Darling, don't say that. It's always almost until you get there.

[01:02:15]>> Some people never get there, do they?

[01:02:20]It's going to hurt.

[01:02:26]Go ahead.

[01:02:37]Let's not do that again, shall we? It's >> all over with the bandaging. I I had to clean it.

[01:02:43]>> Give me a cigarette with it. My coat pocket.

[01:02:52]Not bad at that.

[01:03:04]Fred was shot by somebody while he was picking up some diamonds that Elder was smuggling.

[01:03:09]>> Is he Is he badly hurt?

[01:03:10]>> I don't know. I didn't get to talk to him.

[01:03:14]>> Go on, Max. Tell me. I did tell you.

[01:03:18]I didn't get to talk to him.

[01:03:21]>> But you know where he is.

[01:03:23]>> Yeah.

[01:03:24]Yeah.

[01:03:26]Couple of barkers boys dragged him out.

[01:03:28]>> Max.

[01:03:30]Max. What about Jeff?

[01:03:31]>> I don't know.

[01:03:34]Why didn't call me up?

[01:03:37]I've got to have another drink. George, I need lots of drink.

[01:03:45]I kid ourselves.

[01:03:47]Snitter was right. I shouldn't have gotten mixed up in it.

[01:03:51]>> You shouldn't have gotten mixed up in it. You're Jeff's father.

[01:03:54]>> Georgia, you just fixed up a bullet wounded me. You want to know why I didn't shoot first? I used to be pretty quick on the draw. Remember?

[01:04:02]>> Yes.

[01:04:04]>> I didn't shoot first because it didn't have a gun. Now, I didn't have a gun because I could hit a pop bottle in front of my nose. Look, that's with a couple of drinks in me.

[01:04:15]You put a revolver there. It's a pausy.

[01:04:22]Just a burned out cop.

[01:04:24]>> Oh, that's not true. You've proved it's not true in the last two days.

[01:04:27]>> I've been going on my nerves and I haven't any left. Let the neta take care of this. Leave me alone.

[01:04:33]>> No. No, you're not quitting.

[01:04:36]>> What do you want from a guy with his shakes? I've gone as far as I can. You haven't gone as far as you can until you're dead.

[01:04:42]>> Georgia, I'm trying to tell you.

[01:04:44]>> I know what you're trying to tell me.

[01:04:45]And I don't care. I don't care if you're drunk the rest of your life. I don't care if we never see each other again. I don't care if they kill you or me. It's Jeff.

[01:04:56]That's why you're not quitting. I won't let you.

[01:05:00]>> I say let Tetti take care of this. At least he knows what he's doing.

[01:05:03]>> No. No. You told me nobody, not even Tedetti, would go after him the way you would. I believe it. If you haven't got a gun, go without one. If you can't walk, crawl, but you're going to bring Jeff back.

[01:05:16]You can't fail him, Max. You can't.

[01:05:40]Hello, Smitty. Yes, Max.

[01:05:43]I'm on my way down to Vargas' warehouse.

[01:05:45]I need a gun.

[01:05:47]Don't worry about me. I'm okay.

[01:05:50]Smitty, there's a drugstore at the corner of Cranberry and Henry.

[01:05:57]Have me been down there in 15 minutes, huh?

[01:06:00]Thanks.

[01:06:07]How about that shirt?

[01:06:25]Yeah.

[01:06:47]Heat.

[01:07:14]Heat. Heat.

[01:07:31]Heat. Heat.

[01:07:42]Heat.

[01:10:01]Hey, I'll take Heat up here.

[01:10:53]Where my mind?

[01:13:16]Heat.

[01:13:29]Heat.

[01:13:54]They better have been in here the last half that long.

[01:13:58]>> Guy with a scar.

[01:13:59]>> Not through that door. Maybe the back way. What happened to you?

[01:14:02]>> They got to be here, Harvey. They've got to be here. It makes sense.

[01:14:04]>> What? Who?

[01:14:05]>> Searching a place. every room.

[01:14:08]>> Max is after four.

[01:14:09]>> So what Heat.

[01:14:50]Heat.

[01:15:14]Okay.

[01:15:24]Morning.

[01:15:26]off.

[01:15:39]>> What's with him? Let me get in on this.

[01:16:00]Okay, heat.

[01:16:24]Happy birthday.

[01:16:48]I thought I knew it. I was wrong.

[01:16:50]>> What's going on, kid? You look a mess.

[01:16:54]What's happened?

[01:16:56]>> Nothing.

[01:17:02]>> Nothing happened, M. What's wrong?

[01:17:08]I need a drink.

[01:17:11]Just as you say, kid.

[01:17:27]>> You look like you'd come to the end of the street, Max.

[01:17:30]>> Yeah.

[01:17:32]>> Take that up to your room and get some rest.

[01:17:36]You told me on the phone last night you knew where Mace was.

[01:17:40]>> Yeah, I knew. But Olivera got there first.

[01:17:43]>> Ala, huh?

[01:17:45]>> Yeah, he got away. These came out of his pocket.

[01:17:50]That's why I came back here. I I thought maybe >> probably a hundred machines in town that split a pack like this, Max.

[01:18:00]>> Yeah, a long chance.

[01:18:04]You're right, Smitty.

[01:18:07]Rummy shouldn't get mixed up in a mess like this.

[01:18:11]>> Get yourself some sleep, kid.

[01:18:14]>> Sleep.

[01:18:16]>> The bottle will help.

[01:18:17]>> And I was the smart guy that knew all the answers.

[01:18:20]>> Relax, Max.

[01:18:24]You found Aloe vera is the guy you wanted. And it >> wasn't Aloe vera.

[01:18:30]No, >> there's been one name from the beginning. Just one St. Paul.

[01:18:34]>> That's who Albero was working for.

[01:18:36]That's who Varcus was really afraid of.

[01:18:39]Elder.

[01:18:42]Elder was working for St. Paul, too. He tried to double cross him. St. Paul made an appointment and knocked him off.

[01:18:49]>> Polish off the bottlenecks. Get yourself some rest.

[01:18:56]>> You know, it wasn't only that rip pack of cigarettes that made me come back here.

[01:19:08]It was something to do getting the gun from you. The telephone.

[01:19:14]That's it. The telephone.

[01:19:15]>> Now you're getting yourself all worked up over nothing, Max.

[01:19:19]>> Oh, look, Smitty. I called you from George's and I asked you for a gun.

[01:19:24]I told you I was going down to Barkcus' warehouse to get Mace.

[01:19:29]Nalivera got there first. How do he know about it?

[01:19:34]Because somebody somebody could listen in on our phone conversation.

[01:19:42]And somebody in this hotel loused me up with a phony gun.

[01:19:46]>> Now you're really going off the deep end, son.

[01:19:50]>> Now I'm right, Smitty. I'm right. I feel it.

[01:19:56]>> St. Paul gave the order to Aloe Vera.

[01:20:00]St. Paul was the one who knew about our telephone call. It makes sense.

[01:20:06]>> Max, my own name don't make sense when it gets to be this late.

[01:20:11]How's about a journ?

[01:20:13]>> You walked right in and and blasted Elder with that 25 with that 25 caliber.

[01:20:22]Elder was scared that night.

[01:20:25]He was ready and waiting with a pop gun all his own.

[01:20:30]He didn't pull the trigger. Why didn't he pull the trigger? He must have seen St. Paul's gun. No, that's it.

[01:20:40]He didn't shoot because he didn't see the gun. He couldn't. Nobody could. It was concealed. Smitty, you remember reading in the paper about about how Elder was poked in the neck with a sharp instrument before he was shot? remember that was it.

[01:21:03]St. Paul had to knock out Elder before he could even get at the gun.

[01:21:09]It's probably carried around in something very ordinary looking like a like a cane.

[01:21:26]Or a crutch.

[01:21:36]>> Yes. Or a crutch. It had to be somebody who could listen in. Somebody who knew everything that was going on.

[01:21:44]>> Have another drink, Max.

[01:21:47]It wasn't Harvey.

[01:21:51]Wasn't a crutch.

[01:21:55]Smitty, you see your umbrella?

[01:22:08]Done, bro.

[01:22:17]You You're St. Paul.

[01:22:25]I always said you was smart kid.

[01:22:30]Might have figured you'd get too smart.

[01:22:35]>> My friend standing behind the desk giving me advice and all the time you knew about my boy. had nothing to do with your boy. Well, >> you had some idea, didn't you? Didn't you?

[01:22:46]>> Well, an idea, maybe.

[01:22:51]>> Why didn't you tell me your tongue ripped out?

[01:22:54]>> Stakes were big Max and needed your help.

[01:22:58]>> My help?

[01:22:59]>> First, I tried to keep you out of it.

[01:23:02]And I found I couldn't have decided to use your brain to help me find Mace so I could get my hands on him.

[01:23:10]And then on the diamonds a good plan, Max worked.

[01:23:20]You murdered.

[01:23:22]You stole.

[01:23:24]You kept my boy away from his mother.

[01:23:28]>> Oh, I know what you're thinking.

[01:23:31]You don't know what it's like to be old with nothing to look back on, nothing to look forward to, except more of the same.

[01:23:38]Five years ago, I started first small jobs and big ones.

[01:23:43]And this job, the biggest of the lot, string of diamonds that'll keep me like a queen for the rest of my life.

[01:23:52]>> Oh, shut up. You make me sick.

[01:23:56]>> I'm telling you because I want you to know it's my big chance, Max.

[01:24:04]And nothing or nobody's going to stop me. You understand?

[01:24:10]>> Nobody.

[01:24:13]Not even you.

[01:24:15]>> Where's my boy, Smitty? Where's my boy?

[01:24:20]>> Answer me.

[01:24:23]>> First you do the answering.

[01:24:26]What are you going to tell Tanetti?

[01:24:28]>> Tetti.

[01:24:29]>> That's right.

[01:24:31]Tanetti, what is it, Max?

[01:24:36]Cop or friend? Which side are you on?

[01:24:38]The most chips are down.

[01:24:40]>> Not your side, Smith.

[01:24:43]>> Say, that ain't a smart answer for a guy in the spot you are.

[01:24:52]I thought you wanted to get your kid back.

[01:24:54]>> Oh, I'm getting him back. What did Alivera do with Mace?

[01:25:00]>> Mace?

[01:25:05]Make some mad.

[01:25:14]Maybe you can get him to talk to you.

[01:25:32]Fred.

[01:25:33]>> Fred.

[01:25:36]Fred, it's Max. Max Thursday.

[01:25:40]Max.

[01:25:45]Max.

[01:25:47]>> Fred. What happened to Jeff? Where is he?

[01:25:51]>> That's why I haven't talked.

[01:25:54]I was afraid they'd kill me. You'd never know.

[01:25:59]I had to do it, Max.

[01:26:02]I owed Elder 5,000.

[01:26:06]He said, "It's all right, Fred. Where is Jeff?"

[01:26:14]Right. Picked up the tiles.

[01:26:18]I left him there. It's just for an hour.

[01:26:21]She was a nice woman. Mag followed.

[01:26:27]>> That's not important right now. What's the address of this boarding house?

[01:26:31]Get out.

[01:26:34]7 93 spruce. 793 SP Max diamonds.

[01:26:47]I don't part of them.

[01:26:52]I made them too.

[01:27:03]I'll whisper to you, Max. That's not important now. Later. Please, Max. You got to know.

[01:27:10]All right.

[01:27:15]Don't move behind you.

[01:27:22]Dar, catch you up, doctor, as soon as I leave here. Send him around.

[01:27:28]>> Thanks for taking care of Jeff as long as you could.

[01:27:33]Going to be all right.

[01:27:37]See you later.

[01:27:47]Okay, Smitty, start backing up.

[01:27:50]>> I never did like him, Max.

[01:27:52]One less to split with.

[01:27:55]>> I said start backing up.

[01:27:59]>> All right, Max.

[01:28:03]>> Now, open the door.

[01:28:06]What do you got in mind, kids?

[01:28:16]I'll cut you in for hot bucks.

[01:28:19]You and me, nobody else.

[01:28:24]What do you got to gain, son?

[01:28:26]>> Police department.

[01:28:28]>> Maybe get yourself back on the force for peanuts a month. Maybe assad.

[01:28:33]>> Hello, this is Thursday. Max Thursday holding a prisoner at the Riverview Hotel.

[01:28:38]>> 200,000. It's a lot of money, Max. You can get yourself a lot of things with that.

[01:28:44]>> I'm getting what I want.

[01:28:48]>> Max, we're friends.

[01:28:52]You want You wouldn't pull that trigger on me, would you? Why? That's cop stuff.

[01:29:02]You're talking to a crimson.
