A rundown hideout for criminals.

The owner, Pasquale, was well-known

to the Detroit Police...

for his questionable activities.

The agents were counting

heavily on their new identities.

And on Tony's ability

to speak Italian...

Jones?

Smith? Not Smith!

I bought the name from a guy

down the street. He was broke.

I understand.

You have no suitcase, so please...

Eight bucks.

Room 201.

Upstairs.

Give me the two bucks!

Oh, yeah.

As Pasquale was closing

for the night...

a detective of the Detroit

Robbery Squad paid him a visit.

The detective was looking for a pair

or robbery suspects named...

Vannie Harrigan and Tony Galvante.

He showed Pasquale the Detroit Police

wanted flyers on the two men.

Pasquale recognized them

as his guests...

Jones and Smith.

True to his unsavory reputation,

Pasquale did not give them away.

He was most polite to the detective.

As an honest citizen,

he would like to help the law.

But he was "Sorry. "

He had not seen the suspects.

Up in their room, the two

undercover agents waited.

They hoped their plan would work.

They hoped Pasquale

would snap at the bait.

Local officers are on the ball.

The city detective just left

our friend downstairs.

Yeah?

- It's me, Pasquale!

Come in!

- Senor Galvani...

What is this?

Where'd you get his name?

What are you trying to pull?

- Take it easy...

How did you get my name?

I came to tell you as quick as I could.

A cop asked me if you were here.

I said, "No. " He showed a picture

with your name on it.

His name and picture too!

- What'd you tell him?

I tell him nothing at all!

The police, I don't like!

Sometimes Pasquale's in trouble

for selling wine.

The police don't forget.

So, Pasquale don't forget either.

You owe our good friend an apology.

A guy on the lam can't be too careful.

Thanks for what you did.

Sorry I roughed you up.

That's all right.

These things I understand.

Looks like we're on 1st base!

Pasquale was sold on them.

The wanted notices, the natural

criminal manner of the two...

their new criminal identities

had been tested and accepted.

Pasquale sent them

to see his friend, Vantucci...

who ran a produce warehouse as a cover

for his dealings in hijacked liquor...

and counterfeit

Internal Revenue stamps.

The underworld can always use good

men with the proper recommendations.

As Tony would have said, "they were

trying to steal 2nd base. "

Now it was go through with it,

or go under.

Now there could be no turning back.

Sure...

Pasquale told me about you.

He gave me his recommend.

You out-of-town boys?

No, Mr. Vantucci.

Might call us

"in and out-of-town" boys.

Want jobs, eh?

That's a windows needs washing!
