What'll you have?
Hamburger.
Everything?

Fine.
Not much business this time of night.
Hardly pays to stay.
You know him?
Very well.
Just a little man around a delicatessen.
A lot of people.
A lot of friends.
Called him Uncle Eli.
Used to hang around his delicatessen after school.
Long time.
Old friends.
Why would anybody want to kill Eli Gantz?
I heard it was a robbery.
$14.
$14, Pete.
Got a light on anyone?
Maybe.
Eli was conscious for a few minutes, gave us a
description, matched a kid named Jimmy Blaine.
Have you picked him up?
He hasn't returned to his room since the murder.
Think he flew?
Wherever he's gone, wherever he is, I'll find him.
Looks like a storm.
Yep.

I'm not the girl who cared about fortunes
and such Never cared much, but look at me

girl who laughed at those blue diamond
rings One of those things Oh, look at me

Enjoyed your song?
Thank you.
Won't you have some champagne with us?
Some other time.
That doesn't sound very promising.
It wasn't intended to be, Mr. Coyne.
What did he want?
Companionship.
Mr. Coyne, you've got a bad memory.
I told you last week I didn't want to see you.
I don't want to see you.
I don't want to see you on this side of the river.
Now listen and listen hard, because we're
not going to talk again.
If I find you or any of your associates on
this side, I'm going to pick you up.
Is that clear?
Is that clear, Mr. Coyne?
If you have a charge to make, make it.
I'm going to give you ten seconds to get out of here.
I don't enjoy being rousted.
Then stay on the other side of the river.
I'll see you again.
I wouldn't advise it.
What is the oil?
21.80.
You take care of it for me.
Let's go.
Did he leave a tip?
Why are you pushing Mr. Coyne so hard?
He's been pushing me.
He's planning to expand his operations.
This side of the river?
Looks like he got your message.
Maybe.
Got a line on Jimmy Blaine yet?
Dead end.
Maybe I could open up a few alleys for you.
I got a dark one, so I'd like to find him.
Lieutenant looks a little down.
He's pretty upset by Gann's murder.
Maybe you should talk to him.
No, he doesn't need conversation.
Oh.
Well, I could use a little conversation.
Look, uh, you think of something
interesting to talk about, and I'll be back.
Well, I don't need to think up anything.
I'm just loaded with topics.
Oh, it won't be long.
That's what you said the last time,
and I didn't see you for three days.
Oh, complications.
I'll be back before you know it.
Oh, I'll know it.
Goodbye.
Goodbye, silly.
Sink one shot, and they run like I was Willie Hoppy.
I'm trying to get a light.
I'm trying to get a line on someone.
A kid by the name of Jimmy Blaine.
You're shooting a bad stick.
How's that?
He's hot.
I've got a $50 bill that ought to cover any complications.
I'll put out a call.
Do that.
That does it.
What's the matter?
Too fine an edge.
Don't want to leave my fight in the gym.
Hello?
This is Mooney.
It's working.
Gunn's asking questions, trying to get an angle.
Fine.
Now just drop the word that Blaine's holed
up at the Morris Hotel.
Okay.
Get him up.
Hello, Jake?
I'm sending the boy over with Hank Barlow.
Hank's got his instructions.
You just stay behind the desk until the cop comes.
Yes, but only if he's alone.
If anyone's with him, make him get a warrant.
I don't want anybody but that cop going into that room.
Right.
What's up?
We're gonna have to move you.
The cops have been tipped you've been here.
Fourteen lousy bucks you had me kill that guy for.
Every cop in town is looking for me and
you don't even give me a reason.
I'll give you a reason, Jimmy.
You work for me and you'll do exactly that.
Exactly as I tell you to, just the way
you're going to do right now.
They're going to find me.
They won't find you as long as you do as you're told.
Now get dressed.
Hank's taking you to another hideout.
Where?
Where you'll be perfectly safe.
Now, you know I'll look out for you, Jimmy, don't you?
I suppose so.
Now, run along.
We haven't any time to waste.
Hello?
That Jimmy Blaine you were looking for?
Yeah.
Try the Hotel Morton.
It's a fleabag on Sutter Street.
Very small rooms.
Even for me.
Thanks.
Wait.
Try the Hotel Morris.
What for?
Jimmy Blaine.
Where'd you get it?
Now, Lieutenant, you know better than that.
All right, thanks.
Need any help?
Now, Pete, you know
So?
I'm looking for Jimmy Blaine.
Look, maybe I should go back to the office
and have a paper typed out.
Should you?
Yeah.
With your name on it?
Meant for harboring a fugitive.
Number 21, end of the hall.
Is that the way you enforce the law?
Why'd you beat him up?
I didn't touch him, and you know it.
I only know what I'm looking at.
He's dead, isn't he?
I want to report you, Lieutenant.
That badge of yours That badge of
yours don't give you any license to kill.
Hi.
Lowe's, the word.
Look.
Came in two hours ago, ordered a cup of coffee.
Hasn't touched it.
There was a preliminary hearing today.
Maybe it didn't go very well.
Well, surely he's not worried about the
outcome of the hearing, is he?
I mean, they'll believe a story, won't they?
Maybe they will, maybe they won't.
They might believe that hotel clerk's story.
The way the papers are handling this,
they could very well make Jacoby the goat.
Excuse me, honey.
You've dropped my hole in that tabletop.
How'd things go downtown?
They've gone better.
Did you ever talk with that hotel clerk?
I plan to.
When do you plan to?
When I get the authorization.
Authorization?
Until the results of the hearings are
final, I've been relieved of duty.
You mean they're not going to give you a
chance to prove your own case?
It's up to the department, it's procedure.
But you've been on the force for a long time,
I know, and it'll all be taken into consideration.
Look, this whole thing's a frame.
You know it and I know it.
The board of inquiry doesn't know it.
If they feel there's cause for removal,
it's not to be removed.
Will you stop driving the table?
You nervous?
Yeah.
Why don't you have a glass of warm milk, Mr. Gunn?
Well, good evening, Mr. Jacoby.
Now, how does it feel to be plain Mr. Jacoby?
These policemen must use their badges to talk with.
Take that little piece of tin away from
them, they can't say a word.
Bartender, bring Mr. Jacoby.
Bring Mr. Jacoby a bottle of champagne.
Maybe he wants to drink a toast to Jimmy Blaine.
The last guy he'll ever kill in the name of the law.
Look, Pete, I appreciate your concern, but knock it off.
I'm not trying to crowd you, I only want you to
know I think court's mixed up in this some way.
All we have to do is find out how.
It's a nice assignment.
With all the power he wields on both sides
of the river, you think he'll get anywhere?
I'd like to try, do you mind?
Help yourself.
Want a lift?
No.
I might have to get used to it.
What?
Walking.
That's enough.
Beat it.
Hiya, baby.
Mm-hmm.
That Hotel Moore's tip was a setup.
Where'd you get it?
Pipeline.
I don't understand it.
I do business with the most reliable stool pigeons.
Well, you can't win them all.
Yeah, but it's bad for my professional reputation.
Turned out pretty bad for Lieutenant Jacoby.
But don't rack up your cue.
We got another shot.
Your car outside?
Let's go.
What do you want?
A friend of mine wants to talk to you.
What do you want with me?
Like he says, I want to talk to you.
Let's go.
What's the matter with here?
Let's go down by the river where it's nice and quiet.
You swim.
Now, wait a minute.
Who killed Blaine?
I don't know.
Who told you to spread the word that
Blaine was holed up at the Moors?
No one.
Nobody.
All right.
I'll tell you.
It was Coit.
No.
He knew that sooner or later I'd try and
help Jacoby, so he put you on me.
No.
Same night I talked to Babby, the word got
out that Blaine was holed up at the Moors.
No.
You passed that.
No, you got it.
You got it wrong.
Look, I can't swim.
Now, all I want from you is a confirmation.
No, no.
Okay, okay.
It was Coit.
He put me under you.
He did it.
All right.
Get up.
What are you gonna do?
Let's go.
Mothers.
Mothers.
What's up?
Yeah, just a minute.
Yeah?
Telephone.
Thank you.
Hello.
This is Babby.
Thought you might like to know Mooney's
gonna meet Peter Gunn down at the pier.
Looks like he's gonna sell you out.
Where are they gonna meet?
Pier 60.
Thanks.
Mooney's meeting Peter Gunn down at the pier.
Gun down at pier 16.
Looks like a cross.
Get rid of him.
All right, we're going to have a talk about Mickey.
Quoit.
And what can I do for you, Mr. Jacoby?
Very pretty.
What's it for?
That's for you to call me Lieutenant Jacoby.
On your feet, Quoit.
You have no authority.
All right, we'll go downtown and test my authority.
Fifteen minutes ago, two of your boys sang
like a barbershop quartet.
You're under arrest for murder, Quoit.
You and your big operator friends.
He stuck us with a check.
Well, are your hands allergic to detergent?
They did you some good.
Well,
we went about searching for you, particularly
in the day with the Trump administration.
I can't believe it.
Go to hell.
Are you just going to run off on your
knees and come back for dinner?
I would not dare.
All right, raise your hands and love the Pete.der.
Moms.
