Kiss of Death Page #4

there are a few things I'd like to explain.

Three years ago, I offered to help you.

I'm in no position

to offer the same help now.

I see.

My insurance policy has lapsed, eh?

I would say so.

I see.

- Well, that's that, huh?

- That's that.

- What about my kids?

- How do you mean?

- Could I get to see them?

- As payment?

I'm not doing this for pay. I'm asking you

if I could get to see them as a favor.

- I think we can take care of that.

- Then I can see the kids?

I'm pretty sure.

Okay.

I want to settle one more thing

before you talk, Bianco.

We get a lot of offers from men in prison

who feel they'd like to do a little squealing.

Prisoners go a little cracked

or like a little ride into town.

You knew what you wanted once.

I'd like to know what changed you.

It will give me a chance to decide on...

whether your story's reliable

enough to go to work on.

When I went up, I told you my family

was being taken care of.

I was wrong.

My wife killed herself.

She stuck her head in a gas stove.

You wanna talk about

the Peacock Jewelry job?

- Yeah.

- Who else was on it?

- Eddie Williams.

- Big Ed?

- Yeah.

- Who else?

- Tony Mangone.

- Know him?

- Yeah.

- Who else?

Pete... Rizzo.

- Rizzo, eh?

- Who else?

- Me.

- Any more?

- No.

- Who drove the car?

- Pete Rizzo.

- You, Mangone and Williams went in, is that it?

- Yes.

- Take it easy.

- Who slugged old man Peacock?

- Mangone.

If it's on the level, Peacock's a cinch

to identify Mangone and Williams.

Who was the fence

you used on this job?

I don't know. I didn't handle it.

I was grabbed before.

- That's right. Who would've handled it?

- Rizzo.

- Would Rizzo have gone to the fence direct?

- No.

You called somebody first,

and they told you where to go?

- Yeah.

- Who did you phone?

- Howser.

- Earl Howser.

Another eminent shyster

with connections that ought to...

I think I'm gonna keep you down here

in the city jail a while.

I want you to go on cooperating with us.

You mean go on being a stoolie?

- That's what I mean.

- Okay...

- if...

- If what?

- I could see my kids once in a while.

- You can see them.

When your pals get pulled in...

they're gonna make a pretty good guess

you did the singing.

- I don't care.

- I do. No sense in getting you killed.

There are one or two things

we can do to throw them off.

What's some job you did

that you didn't get caught on?

- What? Some...

- You've got to trust me.

Thompson Fur Company,

four years ago last March.

Were any of these three

on that job with you?

- Rizzo.

- We'll book Bianco on the Thompson Fur job.

- That'll cover why we brought him here.

- And I take another rap?
