The Crooked Way Page #4

I'll walk to the door with you.

It's early, Nina. A little drink for

a nightcap won't hurt you.

That's what you think.

You could make me forget that

thousand I dropped tonight, Nina.

I can forget a lot of things, Lou.

You, for instance.

Good night.

-Just a minute, baby.

I'd like a little receipt

for that grand.

That's better.

That's your receipt. Good night.

Now listen...

Go ahead.

Take a good look.

If you came to tell me how Vince welcomed

you back, you've said it. So, goodbye!

I want to know what you had

to do with me...in my life.

And this.

December the 24th,

Ah, that was a lovely Christmas.

One I'll never forget.

Only one of your presents!

Sure, I told Vince Alexander

you're back. I work for him.

This clipping...

Why couldn't you testify at the trial?

-Oh, no routines, I've heard them all.

Listen to me!

I'm just out of an army hospital

with a piece of steel in my head

and no memory to go with it.

I'm here to find out about myself and

I'm getting answers the hard way!

I don't know you, Vince Alexander...

or anybody called Eddie Riccardi!

All I know is one person, Eddie Rice! Me!

You're the last person I can turn to.

Please believe me.

Help me.

That's a very touching speech.

You lost your memory.

You don't know why I couldn't

testify at the trial.

You've forgotten how you used me to

make sure Vince would go to prison

so you'd be set free.

But, if you're back to your old tricks

again I've got sad news for you,

I tore up your raincheck

three years ago.

I'm not your wife anymore.

Now to the station?

-Back to the hotel.

You act like a cop that just

lost a conviction?

Maybe I have, take a look at these.

Fresh out of the photo lab.

Sharks don't talk, the

fingerprints spell Kelly.

The Coroner said he was dead two

hours before he hit the water.

Too bad. With the information

Kelly had for us

we could have put Vince

away for a long stretch.

What's eating you, Joe?

I was a smart cop.

I put Petey away to get him off of

Kelly's tail, and this is what happens.

I feel like I killed Kelly.

Riccardi...think he's tied up in it?

Walking back into town that day

could tie him up in anything.

Is the case my baby?

-All yours.

Now what?

I figure we shouldn't keep

it a secret from Vince.

Only six days in the week now, huh?

How do you like that, the card

must have fell out.

It was there yesterday. Nick...

Who's Jane Doe?

Please, Lieutenant. I don't look

at their birth certificate.

Lots of people don't use

their right names.

With me, a buck is a buck.

I don't ask questions.

Before I'm through, Nick...

you'll be answering a few.

It's gettin' so you can't tail a guy anymore
