On Dangerous Ground Page #3

What will happen to me if I tell?

Nothing will happen.

Bernie finds out, he'll break my neck.

I won't let Bernie break your neck.

And if I don't?

You'll make me talk.

You'll squeeze it out of me

with those big, strong arms.

Won't you?

That's right, sister.

Those are a bunch of rough boys.

They find out she talked,

you know what she'll get.

You sure don't care about people,

do you?

Where to?

Waterfront.

Harbor Hotel.

Hey. Hey!

What room is this guy in?

Twenty-nine.

Cops.

You bust in and shove a guy around.

You got nothing on me.

Mushy Castro. Where is he?

And Gordy Miller.

I wish I knew. I'd be glad to tell you.

Maybe this time they could get them

a couple of cops.

Listen, it's getting late.

Go on, hit the sack.

Go ahead.

Come on.

All right, Bernie. We're alone now.

Yeah. You and me, alone.

- You can't talk, huh?

- Oh, sure.

I'm a good talker. I like to talk.

Okay.

Let's have it.

Oh, I just told you, I'm a great talker.

Wait until you hear me.

You're gonna make me crack you,

aren't you?

Go on. Hit me.

Hit me.

Come on. Come on.

- No.

- Why do you make me do it?

Why do you make me do it?

You know you're gonna talk.

I'm gonna make you talk.

I always make you punks talk.

Why do you do it?

Why? Why?!

You go on home. I'll book him.

- You wanna take the car?

- I'll walk.

You dirty cop. You dirty, rotten cop!

Hey, let him alone, Jim.

What's the matter with you, Jim?

Mr. Wilson.

- Good pass. How's your place kicking?

- Swell. I'll show you.

How come you're walking?

Oh, just for a change.

- Everything okay?

- Sure.

Who cares.

Is Captain Brawley here?

- Hi, chief.

- Hello, Jim.

Oh, George.

- Some more bread.

- Yes, captain.

Sergeant said you wanted to see me.

Yeah, I told him to call you.

Well, what about him?

- You had breakfast? You'd like to eat?

- No, thanks.

Soup is all right, George.

Soup is all right.

Sure you don't wanna eat?

That Bernie Tucker,

he must have put up a hard fight.

- No.

- I understand, I understand.

Back in the old days,

used to give me trouble too.

But you let yourself get out of hand.

This Bernie,

I got a call from the hospital.

George. More peas.

- Who called from the hospital?

- His lawyer. His lawyer called.

You never can tell.

Never tell what?

The way they cook vegetables

in this place. Wonderful.

His lawyer, he wants to talk to you.

Now, it could be something

about another civil suit.

What for?

Ruptured bladder.

You should be more careful, Jim.

You don't get information being careful.

I got you a lead

on Mushy Castro, didn't I?

Yeah, I know. And we picked him up.

Him and Gordy Miller, early this morning.
