- Take a look around. You're getting paid for it.
- You want a beer?
- Sure, I'll have a beer.
- How's the whip?
- You know the whip - always in the pink.
Yeah. I got no electricity here,
but the beer's always cold.
- You want one, Mac?
- Tiger's waitin'.
Okay. Here's the opener.
Come on. Let's go.
Oh, uh, Winoki, just two things.
After you give my place the broom,
leave it the way you found it, huh?
And when you got enough beer,
lower my icebox back in the drink.
Come on, Mac.
He's here.
That's fast work.
I hope he didn't throw that microfilm away.
- How do you want to handle this?
- He got me suspended twice for smacking him.
Cost me six months' pay.
Do you mind waiting outside?
I want to handle this my way.
Sure.
I was picked up.
No resistance.
- You better make this stick.
- You only been out a week...
gotta play the subway circuit.
What did you do with the wallet
you lifted from the girl?
Back up the pinch with a charge
or drive me back to my shack.
I'll drive you back in a hearse
if you don't get that kink out of your mouth.
Now, look, buster...
you've been whip of this squad
long enough to know...
that a guy with my rating
wouldn't grift a dame on the train -
Ah, you'll always be a two-bit cannon.
And when they pick you up in the gutter dead,
your hand'll be in a drunk's pocket.
- You were spotted lifting that wallet.
- Only amateurs are spotted.
- So?
- So it's my word against one of your whiz cops.
That girl was carrying T.N.T.,
and it's gonna blow up right in your face.
- What girl?
- I'm gonna jam that grin right down your teeth.
Go ahead, slug me. Go ahead.
I'll make a bigger stink than last time.
I'll see you hit the backyard
without pay for one year.
Go on, knothead. Slug me. Come on, hit me!
Come on, hit me, will ya?
What's the matter? You nervous?
- Come on.
- Zara.
All we want is the wallet.
If you got rid of it, tell us.
- If you tossed the film away, tell us where.
- Who's he?
None of your business.
Just answer the man.
Now, wait a minute.
I've been clean ever since I got out last week.
Wouldn't touch a nickel if it was
laying in the street. Word of honor.
Why don't you haul that girl down here
to identify me? It's my word against hers.
No. It's your word against mine.
I saw you close her purse.
All right. So it's your word.
But you gotta nail the goods on me,
and I'm clean.
Go ahead. Fan me.
Give me the works.
That film you stole had government
information on it - classified.
We've been following this girl for months.
And just as we were about to
grab a top Red agent...
