Extra!

Ex-con grilled on a million-dollar grab!

Okay, we'll take him once more.

You got visitors again, Rolfe.

- Come on, move.

- McBride.

We've got to turn him loose.

The upstate police found a duplicate

florist truck half an hour ago.

- It was inside an abandoned moving van.

- That still doesn't clear Rolfe, in my book.

His part of the job could have been to use

his truck as a blind,

to draw us away

from the real getaway car.

- It could have been anything!

- Just give me a little more time.

I'll sweat it out of him.

Forget it, McBride. I've checked every

move he's made. He's clean.

All right, Rolfe, you can go.

Sorry we had to detain you.

- You're sorry?

- These things happen.

Thanks for nothing.

Go on, beat it.

Maybe you didn't hear what I said.

I said, "For nothing."

Hey! That's him. That's the guy.

You got to do it, Rick.

You don't understand, Rick.

I know the spot you're in,

Rick, but you gotta help Joe.

Rick! Rick!

- Hi, Joe.

- Hi, Eddie.

- Get you something?

- Yeah, two things,

a cup of coffee and that

information you promised me.

It's like I told you, the first one is easy.

Listen, Eddie, I've gotta know

who set me into this little deal.

Did you ask him?

You're leading with your chin, Joe.

So I'm leading with my chin.

What have I got to lose?

Look, Eddie! It's been three weeks.

No job, no angle, no nothing.

Hey, okay, okay.

Take it easy. I'm on your side.

I'll get you another cup of coffee.

You come back tonight

around closing time.

Kid brother says you're in trouble, Joe.

I got to find a way to clear myself.

Sometimes it's tough, Joe.

- Sometimes it's too tough.

- Look, I want to know who framed me.

- It wasn't anyone local that's for sure.

- Any ideas?

Maybe.

Might be why Pete Harris

beat it to Mexico.

Pete Harris? Where in Mexico?

Tijuana. Look for him where the dice roll.

He's a real sucker for a crap game.

- Anything else?

- Kind of dark and real weird eyes.

You won't have any trouble finding him

by the cigarettes he smokes.

- Just follow the chain.

- Much obliged.

Good luck, Joe.

- Take it easy, Joe.

- Thanks, kid.

So, that's the guy that saved your life

on Iwo Jima?

I'd buy him.

I have the name of Diaz, seor.

If you are looking for a good time,

I know all the best places in Tijuana.

Long as there's a dice table there.

- But gambling is illegal.

- Yeah?

But like in the States, seor,

there are some things
