Six and one. Seven. See ya later.
There it is, there it is! Four and a deuce.
Hey, hey!
Who does he think he is, huh?
Hey! Let's go!
Sandy, let's go!
Mmm! How can you kiss her after what you done to her?
Come on, already. What is it with you?
He'll be right back. He's gonna get some sausages.
Bye, Sandy. Hey, Red, did he pay ya?
The Irish, they don't pay.
Here's a pound for you, sweetheart.
How are you, boys?
Hey, you give me a big buildup?
Was she askin' about me?
You ready to do some honest thievin'?
Why not? All right. Let's go.
A beauty.
Jesus Christ!
Put it over there. Sorry, Tone.
Sandy, over here. Gus, over there.
Move it out toward me.
- What do you want me to do? - Nothin'.
Swing it toward me. Now, tip it on its back. Vinnie!
— Huh? - Put your ass there.
Where? Where's my finger?
Here? Put your ass there.
What do you want? Brace it.
Vinnie, downstairs.
Get me the crowbar.
Vinnie, would ya get downstairs and heat up the car?
Whattaya givin' me this for? And this bag—- too small.
Tony, I think I found a cash box here.
Ow! I'm goin'! I'm goin', Tone!
Get the vise.
- Second floor? - No, it's the third.
I ain't shittin'! Let's get the hell outta here!
Cover that corridor.
I seen 'em! There's four of 'em.
Sandy, where the hell you goin'?
This way, Gus. Down the chute.
Oh, shit.
Move down the up ramp. Be careful, Dave.
Aah!
In there.
Put your hands up!
you’ve gotta accentuate the positive
eliminate the negative
latch on to the affirmative
don’t mess with Mr. In—between
you’ve got to spread joy Up to the maximum
Bring gloom Down to the minimum
then otherwise Otherwise
pandemonium’s liable to walk upon the scene
to illustrate Well, illustrate
my last remark You just implored
Jonah Jonah in the whale
Pino, if you see my old lady, tell her I'll be late for dinner!
Tony?
I got you all the back issues, Tony.
Who is that? Captain Marvel Junior?
Yeah, Captain Marvel's kid. He never had no kid.
Sure he did, with Lois Lane. Lois Lane?
Lois Lane is Superman's girlfriend. She didn't even know Captain Marvel.
While you was in the can, she dumped Superman.
She started shackin' up with Captain Marvel.
You know the trouble with you?
You don't read the comic books. You just look at the pictures.
While you was away, I stuck up a bakery in Salem.
What'd you get? A buck seventy-five and four months in the can.
Tony! How's everything?
Where's Mary?
Remember me?
Aw!
How ya doin'?
I can't kick.
I'm Joe McGinnis. I own the bar across the street.
I heard about you.
Chippy Ruben says he knows you from Deer Island.
Yeah, we was both partners with Johnny Two—Hands.
You seen John recently? No.
Completely bald.
You know Walter from over in Chelsea? Walter who?
Yeah, Walter who. He's a decent fella.
Seein' as though we're neighbors,
I thought maybe we oughta talk.
How 'bout a coffee?
How 'bout a radio?
Console model?
Yeah, that's what the wife wants.
The console model. Downstairs.
This one...
or this one.
How much? Forty dollars. Take your pick.
That's more than I want to pay at this particular time.
Forty's the price. Who are you?
That's my brother-in-law. Vinnie Costa.
Yeah, huh? Yeah.
Watch the front. Move! The girl's alone.
Joe, you need some underwear?
Maybe later.
I was thinkin' you and I oughta do somethin'.
My specialty is planning jobs that other guys pull...
while I sit at home and watch the money come in.
You got talent as a spotter, and I'm the best planner in the country.
I think I got somethin' for you, Joe.
Here, take this radio, Joe. Be my guest.
You've got a generous heart, Tony.
What did you have in mind, Joe?
A partnership. Partnership?
I tell ya, Joe, I'm not doin' too bad right now.
I got a nice crew. They're all friends of mine.
The hours are good. I don't need much.
I've been in on some of the biggest jobs in New England in the last ten years.
I've never done a day in the can.
I've never left my own saloon. Think about it.
No sale, Joe.
Don't move! Don't turn around.
Now, I want an order to go. Walk up to that register.
Now, put the cash on the counter.
Now move.
Okay, is this all the cash? Yeah.
You lyin' bastard.
Sandy, you son of a bitch!
You almost give me a heart attack. Did ya miss me, Tony?
You damn near killed me, you son of a gun!
Aw, I love ya, Tony.
What the hell are you wearin'?
You like it? I've been doin' time for my country.
How many Japs you kill? I never saw a Jap in my life.
But I was torpedoed twice. So, where's your medals?
Medals? They give me a dry uniform, stuck me back on a ship to be torpedoed again.
It's like I always told ya, I been put on this earth to be double-crossed.
So, here's the question before the board.
Are you ready to do some honest thievin'?
I'm halfway through a 48-hour liberty. I didn't even get drunk yet.
So take a couple of hours. We'll grab a Pete.
Where am I gonna spend the money? The navy brig at Portsmouth?
I got 90 days left, Tony. Let me finish it up.
I get out, we hook up together again like the old days.
I got no boys. I got no fellas. I can't move.
I'm stuck here pushin' kidney pies.
There's a guy up here who was overseas with me. He's a piece of work.
His name's Jazz Maffie. We pulled a couple of scores together while we were away.
I'm not lookin' for newcomers. Who is he?
He's a bookmaker. He steps out. He likes the excitement.
I can't see Robbin' with no bookmaker. Where's he live?
Who is it?
Tony. Tony who?
Tony Pino.
Are you Jazz Maffie?
How are ya? Come on in. Have a drink.
I don't drink, but I'll have a drink anyway.
Good. What'll it be? You got any Chianti?
Nah. I don't keep that cheap stuff in the house.
Well, then, forget it. I'm better off without it.
A friend of mine asked me to take a look at you.
Oh, what friend would that be? Uh, Sandy.
Sandy. Yeah, well, Sandy's a good guy. How is Sandy?
He wanted me to ask ya if you wanted some work.
What sort of work would that be?
Sandy didn't tell ya? Not that I remember.
Where'd you get that tie?
They're handmade. Do me a favor.
Next time you're in the North End, boost a couple for me.
I like to give 'em away to my help.
Listen, mister, I didn't come here to talk about clothes.
I take petes.
I'm the best goddamn Pete man there ever was,
and I don't need nobody along who don't know that.
Well, I guess you don't need me along then, do ya?
Jesus Christ, fella. You're givin' me a lot of heartache.
Well, why don't you have a drink? I don't want a goddamn drink!
I wanna know if you're any good and if you wanna come along.
You're not gonna know until I actually do come along, now, are ya?
Ain't you gonna finish dinner? I don't think so, Mommi.
I can't eat. I'm too nervous before I go to work.
You got all your stuff? Yeah, I'm all set.
Where's your screwdriver? I got it. Where the hell is it?
How 'bout your gloves? I got 'em.
Here. Take this in case you get hungry later, okay?
Take it easy.
Why didn't we all just drive here together?
'Cause I'm the boss, and we do things my way.
Listen, mister, you better start showin' some respect around here.
Just be a good fella.
Be a good fella now.
Be there, baby.
Jesus Christ!
Outside!
This is my score, Tony.
Outside!
Move! Move!
Horse's ass!
It's my score, Tony!
Get out, for cryin' out loud. I'm tryin'.
What happened? What? What?
Where is it? Get your stuff. Come on.
Right around the corner. We got this thing licked.
It's a piece of cake. Be out of here in no time.
Son of a bitch. This Pete is brand-new.
Vinnie, that horse's ass! He said this was an old Mossler.
Then I'm gonna go watch that hall. What for?
If you're gonna peel, it's gonna take a long time.
Who says I'm gonna peel? Who says I ain't gonna blow it?
The way you been swingin' that bag around,
I know you're not carryin' nitro.
There ain't no way to peel this Pete,
'cause it's made outta that new wartime metal.
Pino, I ain't got all night. Let's take her with us.
Sure. I'll stick it in my back pocket. It only weighs a ton.
You're goin' full out for a hernia, mister!
You know, Tony, I, uh...
I didn't want to say anything in front of the new guy, Tony, but...
we gotta have a few things straight between us, you understand?
I mean, this is my score, right?
I gotta have some respect.
What am I, a twig to be bent?
While you was in the joint, a lot of guys would've cleaned you out.
Son of a bitch!
Thirteen dollars.
You guys can keep my share.
I didn't know.
You dumb son of a bitch! I'll kill ya, you horse's-—
Come on. Leave me alone. I didn't know, all right?
Huh? Oh, really?
What're you, a thief?
Huh? No.
What do you got in that hat?
Let me have five pounds.
What about the lettuce? Whattaya got goin' there?
Two heads for a quarter. Two? Let me have a head.
Hi.
- Can I help you? - Well, my partner and I,
we've been making big investments in this neighborhood,
and we was very impressed with the way you been fixin' things up.
What I mean is, the kind of work that you do...
makes the price of buildings go up, and that helps us on our end.
So, we figured this outfit was a good cause, and we wanna make a donation.
Why, how very nice.
It's unusual for someone to come in person with their donation.
Most of our assistance comes through the mail.
Really? Yeah, well, um, we was just happenin' in the neighborhood,
and we was checkin' on some of our real estate properties.
How much shall I put you down for? How do, ma'am?
- Uh, you could put us down for fifty cents. - You better make it a dollar.
Fifty cents each.
What'd I tell you? This one is chocolate cake.
There's no way you can miss.
You saw the Pete. It was sittin' there wide open.
There's gotta be at least two grand in there every day.
Two grand? It's a couple of old ladies playin' with quarters and dimes.
You ain't playin' with a full deck.
Two grand! Tony, you saw those old dames.
We could go in there with cap pistols.
Not me. I bag goin' in on the heavy.
I'm not gonna scare one of them old ladies.
What if she drops dead of a heart attack?
You wanna be responsible for killin' one of them little old ladies?
Mother of God.
You got a card there, Mr., uh—-
Lacey. Lacey, yeah. You stay close by me.
Here you go.
Why don't you go up and wait in the office, huh?
How do?
- Where's the keys to 706? — Should be there.
They're not here.
Maybe it's over in Maintenance.
I got 'em.
Jake, your A & P payroll's over here.
For chrissakes! They got no consideration at all up there.
I'm on my goddamn break.
Paul, you goin' to lunch?
Jesus Christ. Is it that late? Yeah, it's 12:30.
Yes, it is.
I didn't know what the hell time it was.
Mr. Lacey? I'm Hank Rightmire, vice president of Brink's.
Now, what's this about a free offer?
Well, sir, what I wanna do is, uh...
I got somethin' here that I wanna show ya, if you don't mind.
You see, I'm from the Globe Spark Plug Company.
We're a top- of-the-line outfit, just like Brink's,
and here's what I have in mind.
I wanna give you some samples... some new spark plugs...
and a set of these dura-life fan belts for all of your trucks.
These are free samples? Only if you like 'em.
Start you off with $100 worth of free supplies.
I give 'em to you for over a year. You gotta do one thing.
You gotta let us use the Brink's name in our advertising.
Well, Mr. Lacey, afraid I can't go along with that.
I'm talkin' about Life magazine and Saturday Evening Post.
Mr. Lacey, Brink's is a very prestigious firm.
We've never lent our name to any advertising.
We don't even advertise ourselves.
Well, I hear what you're sayin', and, uh,
to be frank with ya, I don't have an answer.
All right, let me do this for ya.
Just so it wasn't a waste of time,
let me pick out a free selection of samples.
You use 'em, and if you like 'em,
and if you can remember that I got ten kids to feed,
maybe you'll give me a call and make an offer.
Is that fair enough? Well, that sounds reasonable.
You just leave your stuff here,
and I'll have our service manager look at it when he comes back from lunch.
Thanks for coming by. I enjoyed it.
They could have some electrical system...
that'll fry you when you touch the door.
I was in the joint. They got nothin'.
They got cheap locks and 75-watt bulbs. What if they got radar?
No, I'm tellin' ya, they got nothin'.
What's radar?
There they go for coffee.
They're right on schedule.
Isn't it a great country?
Aren't you glad your father caught the boat?
Come on. Move it!
That's a hundred grand, give or take a few bucks.
Right. I'll give you 20 cents on the dollar.
How much? What?
We're outta here. Pack it up. Let's go.
You take an attitude, Tony, and nobody's gonna deal with you.
There isn't a fence in New England will touch that garbage.
I'll take thirty. Any you guys take 30?
I'll buy it myself for 35. Not me.
You got it for 33.
What in the hell is he laughin' at?
We worked goddamn hard for that money. Can't give it away for nothin'.
I don't want to argue with you.
Today is my grandson's christening. I'll give you 22.
I can get 50 from the pari-mutual guy at Narragannset.
Why don't you? It's winter. The track's closed.
Wait till spring. We don't need this bullshit, Tony.
Will you kindly not use that language in my home?
Take it or leave it. Take what?
Not 22. Not 33.
We were put here to be double-crossed.
For ten years I worked with Jimmy Sincere.
I never got less than 35 cents on the dollar, and I made him rich.
We all know what happened to Jimmy Sincere, God rest him, but you're dealin' with me now.
Twenty-three, and that's final.
Make it a quarter.
Not a hope.
Oh!
Oh, Poppi! You like it?
Oh, it's beautiful.
Oh! Now that's 100% muskrat.
You could see it. It says it on the label.
This is the first thing you ever give me that was gift wrapped.
I ain't gonna tell ya what I paid for it, 'cause it's a present.
That ain't right. But here's the receipt.
Just in case somebody asks where you got it.
I'm through with them trucks, Mommi. Chump change.
I figure if I can hit them people for nickels and dimes,
I oughta be able to take their Pete.
People been talkin' about that for years, Poppi.
That might be too tough for you.
Why do you think they never reported what we grabbed?
Only thing I can figure is they don't want no headlines.
Who's gonna wanna put their money in a place...
where you can take a hundred grand off 'em just like that?
They got a reputation to cover,
and it's their reputation that's gonna take 'em down.
Yeah, but trucks are one thing.
The pete's gotta be guarded like the king of England.
Mommi, buildings is like people.
They got stories, and they got secrets to tell you.
All you gotta do is look.
Some buildings got smart faces, you know what I mean?
They're alert, and they're starin' right back at ya,
and they're sayin', I dare you to come and grab me."
There's other buildings that're dumb, like the Brink's.
When I was a kid I thought to myself,
"If I ever worked in a place like that, I'd cut my throat."
Them people are bored. They're dead; they don't know it yet.
They got all that dough in there,
and they treat it like it was garbage.
They got no feelin' for their work. The building is asleep.
All that money is in there, and it's being held prisoner,
and it's screamin' at me through the walls.
It's yellin', "Hey, Tony, come in and grab me! Get me outta here!"
Well, I'm goin' in, and I'm gonna get it out!
To Brink's, Poppi.
To Brink's.
All right, let's call that big window one.
Drivers' locker room.
Window two and three, counting rooms.
Window four, that's where my baby is.
I Go! got it! I got itl
Boo! Trick or treat, buy or eat.
All right, at a quarter to 8:00, they start comin' to work.
Seven o'clock, they're all outta there,
except for those four old guards.
No alarm?
That don't figure.
Holy shit. There's no way to pick this bitch.
What the...
Fifty-watt bulbs? Cheap bastards.
These hacks, they like to sleep in trucks. Gotta watch out for that.
Now I know where I am.
Right.
Through here, this is the...
Right, this is the counting room.
Right through there, through that door, is the Pete.
No lock on this door. Nothin'.
Son of a bitch.
What's that? What, a window?
I gotta get through here.
Come on there.
Jesus, I can't get through here.
Dirty bastards.
Son of a bitch.
Hmm? It's open.
I gotta feel around here. They must have some trip wires on the floor.
Nothin'.
Look at this.
Hmm.
You cheap sons of bitches.
A ten-cent stomp alarm.
Come here, baby.
I love ya.
This joint's mine.
I own this joint.
"It is, moreover, the supreme headquarters...
"of a privately-owned armored force...
"that operates throughout the United States and Canada.
"Behind its 27—inch walls are iron-barred vaults...
and arsenals of machine guns, carbines and assorted small arms."
What a load of shit.
Back again, Pino? What's goin' on?
New England Mutual got hit last night. How much they get?
Two hundred thousand. The whole payroll.
So, what do you want with these bums?
Routine roundup to keep you people happy.
It wasn't no surprise to me the goddamn flyboys jumped in and grabbed up all the credit.
There wouldn't have been any landing craft on Normandy Beach...
if it hadn't of been for me and my boys down there under ten fathoms of water...
tryin' to blow up them concrete obstructions them krauts left behind.
Winston Churchill shook this hand. Know what he said?
I can't do no cockney accent, but he said,
"You guys did a jolly good job.
If it wasn't for the U.D.T., there wouldn't have been no fuckin'D-day."
What's U.D.T.? Underwater demolition team.
I put that whole thing together. You got a cigarette, Gus?
What're you doin' now?
Specky's the best Pete man I ever worked with, except for you.
They got petes, I don't know if you seen 'em.
Fancy new metals. You can't burn 'em.
Well, the thickest Pete in the world's got maybe...
four inches of plate on 'em, say five.
But a German panther tank has got 12 inches of carbon steel.
That's German steel. That's the finest there is.
I was puttin' armor-piercin' shells through that crap...
like you'd stick your finger through a loaf of Wonder Bread.
Ordnance, that's my game.
Big stuff, you know, cannons, rockets, delayed charges, crap like that.
He got decorated.
Yeah, well, that was Iwo. I don't want to talk about that now.
You. You in the checkered jacket, front and center.
That's him. That's the guy.
You're a goddamn liar, mister.
Just because I'm wearin' a checked coat and two-tone shoes.
Your identification's a piece of shit. You wanna know why?
Because the man was wearin' a mask.
I'm doin' you guys a favor to show up here. I'm an ex—paratrooper.
Just give your name.
Joe. My friends call me Joe.
Your name is James Joseph O'Keefe. Your street name is Specs.
You just keep readin' it off. I'll tell you when you're wrong.
Smiley, the clown next to him.
You know who I'm talkin' about.
Come on, come on. Front and center.
What the hell do they call you?
Come on! What's your father's name?
We-we call him "Dad."
Your name is Stanley Gusciora. Your street name is Gus.
What's your excuse for the New England State Mutual job?
I was outta town, and I got a witness.
Where's your witness? Right here. We was both out of town.
- Where is my beef stew? - I been sittin' here for?ve—-
Easy, easy! What the hell is goin' on?
Where's this beef stew comin' from, China?
Why the hell did you hire a cook from the Salvation Army?
Mother of God.
Huh?
Whattaya gotta do to get a beef stew?
All right, I hear ya. Shut up.
Get a move on, will ya? Where in the hell's the manager?
Have a drink.
Comin' up!
What about them guards? They all carry pistols?
They ain't guards. They're just drivers from the trucks comin' off duty.
Oh, there's my boy. Look at him. Mr. America, 1920.
They hang around for the night shift, huh? There ain't no night shift.
Mr. Brink's, he don't believe in payin' night rates.
Come 7:15, this joint is empty.
They just lock it up and go home.
That's what I'm tryin' to tell ya.
Look, he dropped the money. Leave it there. I'll get it in the morning!
How much you figure's in that Pete?
Conservatively speaking, two, three hundred grand.
- Tony, ain't that the stork? - Stork?
Yeah, he walks like one of them big—ass birds.
What's so funny?
He looks like he's over 90 years old.
They all look like a bunch of antiques in there.
I don't think they could defend a toy factory.
After 7:00, everybody goes home,
except them four guys.
Who's that? Heavyset guy?
He's the guard from the rotunda.
He ain't wearin' a gun.
He never wears a gun. Now he's gonna get the sports page.
How do you know that?
He does it every night.
Gets the sports page and goes into the head for an hour.
I call him the long crapper.
It's the same routine every night, boys.
Never changes.
Seven-fifteen, they close that safe, and they're outta there.
So, it's never opened after 7: 15.
Jesus, cold as a morgue.
- Ever check this place for infrared detectors? - What's that?
It's a bug that works off a temperature differential.
Keep the place cold so body heat will set it off.
This place is cold, because Brink's is too goddamn cheap to pay for the heat.
Hold it. Huh?
From here on in, you gotta crawl.
Dog fashion, like John Wayne in the Sands of Iwo Jima.
What the hell are you talkin' about? In case of sneaky pictures.
Come on. Move.
Me too? No, you're special. Get down on your ass.
Come on, boys. Move it.
All right, over the wire, and we're in.
Tough to get in here, huh, boys?
I don't know if I can do this. A walk in the park.
I don't know if I can do this.
Come on, Vinnie.
Make like a gazelle.
There's a bag of oats in it for ya.
Come on. Let's go. The door is locked.
It's open.
You son of a bitch.
They don't lock nothin' around here. Might discourage thievery.
Be careful of this stomp alarm. Don't wanna wake nobody up.
Oh, Henry Brick made some overtime this week.
Two hours. He could use the overtime, huh, Tony?
He's got a couple of kids, don't he?
That sign means there's a wire from this Pete...
right over to the A.D.T. switchboard.
I found this layin' in the corner over there.
Where'd you get this?
It was on the wall in the corner.
Mother of God, these are the biggest payrolls in the state.
"General Electric"? Jesus!
"Eight hundred grand a week."
How much? Look at this.
$470,000 a week."
Let me see that. Can I see that, Tone?
Take it easy. I found the thing, didn't I?
168,000.
87,000."
"Vault contents, Tuesday the 6th."
There's four million in there right now.
Who would ever dream they kept that kind of dough in there?
Nobody would, except me and my brother-in-law Tony Pino,
the greatest thief who ever lived.
Yeah. Yeah? Am I right?
That's it. Yeah.
What we got here is a trajectory to this point.
Now, from an ordnance position on the roof of that apartment building,
we got an "A" and "B" prime target area here.
The head of the shell, after piercing this outer plate,
will melt the bell frank and free these... what do you call it-— lugs.
Then one guy's gonna jump through the hole...
and jerk out the lugs with a pipe wrench.
Additionally, we'll have two guys in the room wearin' protective asbestos suits...
during impact just in case the secondary explosion sets fire to the contents.
As far as gettin' the weapon on that roof over there,
I've dealt with that without usin' any winches.
Hold it. Just a minute.
You wanna fire a cannon...
off the roof of that building?
It ain't a cannon. It's an M91A antitank gun. It's a bazooka.
A bazooka? Yeah.
Where you gonna get one of them things?
Every army in the state's got one. We'll boost it.
You ever heard the sound one of them things makes?
I was in Omaha Beach. I heard every goddamn gun they make.
Howitzers, .445, you name it.
Wait a minute, mister. Just a second.
You wanna blast that Pete with a cannon?
You gotta have a hole in your marble bag.
What about the bug?
That involves a separate offensive...
synchronized with the impact of the shell.
At that exact instant, a squad of seven men is gonna raid...
the A.D.T. headquarters with machine guns.
A couple of grenades will take out the switch panel,
and the cops won't get no alarms.
Now, of course, we might have to kill a few of the A.D.T. employees,
but I don't see no way around that, do you?
Uh, you got a match?
The guy is loony tunes. He ain't got the full dollar.
Maybe it was the war. I seen a lot of guys get crazy over there.
They call it battle fatigue.
What're we gonna do with him?
He gotta come with us. We got no choice.
We better chain him up. We don't, he's liable to hurt himself.
Chain him in the cellar.
You know, Tony, if we could just cut that A.D.T. wire,
that bazooka idea he had with the armor-piercing shell, it makes a lot of sense.
I was noticing myself that it could work. Make some coffee.
Some of the guy's ideas could make a lot of sense.
Heat up the stew like I told ya.
On the heavy, Tony, there ain't no other way.
Whatever you guys want.
Whattaya say, Joe?
How you doin'? You picked a freezin' day to wash your car.
I wash it every Sunday.
The kid down at Frank Ciccones', he does it for two bits.
It ain't like I'm too cheap to spend the two bits,
but that punk, he bent the aerial and got water on the brakes.
'36. How many miles you got on it?
Sixty thousand. She runs like new.
Them postwar cars is all junk.
Come on inside. I'll buy you a drink.
Now, the last time we talked, Joe,
you said you might be able to move some cash.
That's right.
How much you think you could handle?
How much you bringin' in?
Very large.
Brink's?
Jesus Christ, Joe. You almost give me a heart attack.
Tony, Boston's a small town.
It's my business to know.
Frankly, no one thinks you'll pull it off.
Who's no one? Everyone. The joint's a fortress.
Let me tell you somethin'.
I spent more time in that joint than the people that work there.
Why didn't you bring me the money from the trucks?
I got a quarter on the dollar from Mutt Murphy.
You got 23 cents. He took you apart.
He offered me 20. The stuff was hotter than a firecracker.
I get him up to 23.
You know where that money went?
Yeah, I understand he's got some connection in Cuba.
Cuba?
His connection was a third-rate hustler named Shelly Bederman...
with the Jew mob in Philly.
They gave him sixty cents on the dollar. Sixty?
Bullshit. That's three times what he give us.
He screwed you, and they screwed him. You know why?
I'll tell you why.
'Cause he's a dumb, moonfaced mick...
who got rich dealin' hot tires and hubcaps, that's why.
He thinks 60 on the dollar for that kinda dough is good.
You brought him platinum, Tony. He gave you horseshit!
Brink's dough is the best there is.
I'd have given ya 80 cents on the dollar!
Come on, Joe. Don't bullshit me.
I'll give you a kick for every dollar that comes in.
That's my offer on the North End job.
But I got one condition.
What's the condition?
I want in from the get-go.
Shit, Joe. That's the one thing I can't do.
I give my word.
We got beat outta what we took off them trucks...
'cause we didn't have nobody reliable makin' change.
Joe McGinnis has got the best connections in the state.
If he handles the count, we get 80 cents on the dollar.
We don't need no more guys, Pino.
What the hell do you know about it? You're in my ballpark now.
You got a big score, you gotta work big-handed.
The guy's a blood suckin' leech of a scavenger.
Everything he gets near, he sucks up dry, then screws it up.
Where ya gonna get the guns? Did you ever think of that?
He got a connection for guns.
What are we, a bunch of crippled welfarists?
Did you tell him about this?
I didn't tell him nothin'. I wanna know how you feel.
The guy's a bad omen, Tony.
You don't know what you're talkin' about.
Joe McGinnis is a stand-up guy and a connected guy in this town.
He got businesses all over the state worth millions.
Well, I vote no. Never went against you, Tony. I vote the same way.
You're voting against 80 cents on the dollar?
You told him about this, didn't you? You lyin' son of a bitch.
Let's get somethin' straight. Your vote and your vote don't add up to my vote.
There's a right way, a wrong way and my way.
And on this score, we're goin' my way.
And if you don't like it, all three of ya, take a walk.
Come on in, Joe.
You all know Joe McGinnis?
Joe, Sandy Richardson.
Gus Gusciora.
Jazz Maffie.
Specky O'Keefe.
And you met my brother-in-law, Vinnie Costa.
Now, let's go over it again.
Does that work? Come on. Turn it on.
If there's three guys in there, whattaya do? Whattaya mean?
If there's three guys in the vault, do you give the signal?
I wait till all four of them guys is in the vault.
How much time we got?
Four minutes.
Hmm?
Oh, no.
Oh, my God.
You should've never put him up there.
He ain't gonna signal until everything's all right, you understand?
Come on. Take him home.
Aw...
We're on.
What the hell is the matter?
What the hell's the matter?
The goddamn thing won't open.
In two minutes, they're gonna close the Pete.
Shit!
Get out.
Jesus, somebody put a padlock there.
That's a bad omen.
It's not locked. I think I can knock it off.
You got your screwdriver? That's what I'm lookin' for.
Shit, I know I brought it.
You got one?
— No. - Anybody got one? Screwdriver?
Let's come back Friday.
Shit!
How much time we got? Less than a minute.
This is a serious miscalculation.
I'm gonna pee in my pants any minute, I know it.
Right on the money.
All right, boys. Get 'em in the air.
Come on. Get 'em up!
Now, get over here and open this thing.
Do what you're told, and no one will get hurt.
Now, open that gate.
Open the door.
On the floor!
Put your head up.
What the hell is that?
It's a goddamned alarm!
One of these bastards tripped the alarm.
What the hell is that, huh?
Christ, let's get out of here!
Tell us what it is. Tell us what it is!
Someone's tryin' to get in.
Show me. It's a button outside the door.
Tell us what it is, or I'll blow your head off!
How do I let 'em in?
Outside there. Push the button.
- It's the long crapper. - What's he doin'?
He's readin' the newspaper.
Let's get the hell out of here.
Let's go. Start movin'.
Get on that floor. Come on.
Ha! We did it! We did it, Tony!
We did it, blessed Madonna. We did it! Ha!
Come on, Tony! You can make it!
I tried the bell. Let me give it a try.
Get some men over here.
About three or four men over here.
We don't know. We don't know what happened.
All right, back up. Give us a break.
They said, "Get down on the floor, or we'll blow your brains out!"
How many of them were there?
How many were there? Five, six, seven.
- How much did they get? — Four million dollars.
- Get these reporters away from that money! - Get the cops away too!
When we got down on the floor, they pulled out ropes.
Where'd the bags come from?
Who opened the door?
How many were there? Did they have guns?
I don't know, five or six of 'em.
Okay, get 'em out of the car! Get 'em out!
Get your hands off my body!
Open that trunk.
What're you doin'? What're you hollerin' at me for?
What're you doin'? What're you doin'?
Hey, where do you guys get off? You can't do that to me!
You shut your mouth! Shut up!
Aw, it feels beautiful.
Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. North America and all the ships at sea.
- Let's go to press. - Boston.
The final figures are in on the spectacular Brink's robbery.
Over two million dollars taken by gunmen in a commando—style raid,
making it the crime of the century
My sources in the F.B.I. report evidence indicating an inside job,
with possible links to organized crime and Communist subversives.
Whattaya mean you can't count?
I'm tired and I'm nervous.
Besides, I never was any good at figures.
Did you cut out them government checks so we can burn 'em?
Shit. I forgot all about them.
How far'd you get?
I got two different figures. I don't know which is right.
All right, beat it.
I'll finish it myself.
Get the hell out of here. Lighten' up, skinhead.
I'm filthy rich. We're crawlin' in it.
We could spend the rest of our lives countin' that dough.
You can spend the rest of your life in jail, if you're not careful.
Yeah? How would you like to hold one of these for a week, hump?
I ain't gonna smell like a meatball no more!
We're outta that dump for good.
No more diner. What's Tony gonna say?
Hey, listen, there's somethin' you gotta remember, Gladys.
This Brink's thing was my idea.
That's right. I put Tony into it.
Now, Tony's a regular genius. I ain't takin' nothin' away from him, honey.
But everything I done, I done for you.
And Tony's gonna have to respect that. For me?
Who else? You're such a smart guy, Vincent.
Didn't I always tell you what a smart guy you was? Yeah, yeah.
I'll hold the bag. You throw the last gun in.
I can't throw for beans. Go on, try your luck.
Go on.
There you go.
All right. Oh, it didn't go in.
It don't matter. It'll sink. I'll go get it.
No, you'll get your feet all muddy.
But it's got my fingerprints. You ain't got a record.
What exactly does the statute say?
Mr. Director, it seems the Bureau has no real jurisdiction.
No federal money was involved, as far as we can tell.
How 'bout the Coast Guard, National Parks, Forest Service, anything?
One bag contained checks from the Veterans' Administration.
That should bring us in.
The statute requires it be of cash not less than $100...
to come under our jurisdiction.
List $100 in cash, and let's get on with it.
I have special reasons for wanting this case.
This robbery could be the missing link...
between the Communist party and organized crime.
Our information is that it was local boys.
They've got 20 or 30 good leads.
What do those Keystone Cops up there know?
I don't need to tell you how many subversive activities...
this kind of money could finance.
I want the Bureau not only involved in this case, I want it in charge.
Our Boston office isn't staffed to handle anything this extensive.
Get up there and staff it. Put a dozen men in. I don't care what it costs.
This could be the most dangerous conspiracy that's ever threatened this nation.
That's it.
All right. You okay?
I think I'm slippin'.
All right. Now, remember, this is a present.
Say happy birthday. Happy birthday.
To her.
Happy birthday, Mommi. Happy birthday, Sis.
What's this? It's for your birthday. You like it?
My birthday's not till next week.
We got it a little early.
Where'd you get it? We bought it. Here.
Here's the receipt.
Come on, Vinnie. Take it in.
When'd you get me a radio? Whattaya mean?
I mean this receipt is from a radio company.
They don't sell no refrigerators at the Brookline Electronic Company.
Sure they do. When's the last time you were there?
You boosted it. I bet there's some guy's dinner in it.
But I was gonna buy it, but I never had a chance.
The goddamn thing just walked into the car,
and it had your name on it.
It kept on yellin', Take me! Take me home to Mary!"
You picked a hell of a time to go out boostin'.
You oughta be takin' care of important business.
We done all that. I got rid of the guns myself.
You let him get rid of the guns?
Partners? Yeah. We don't want no wives buttin' in.
Keep your mouth shut. Show some respect around here.
What about the uniforms? What about the masks? It's all done.
Specky and Gus, they took care of that last night.
What about the money? Why ain't you down keepin' an eye on Joe?
I got Sandy on that. I got everythin' runnin' like clockwork.
Perfect.
Tu rkey?
In cooperation with local law enforcement agencies,
the F.B.I. begins the largest criminal roundup in history.
In an effort to find the men responsible for the spectacular Brink's holdup,
no stone will be left unturned as G—men trace leads...
to known criminals and subversives.
Where were you born, Pino? Uh, Salerno.
It says here Palermo.
Oh, right. I always get those two mixed up.
If you don't start cooperating, you're goin' back in.
I thought I was cooperating.
In fact, I got a theory why those guys were wearin' Navy peacoats.
What's the theory?
My idea is they got away on a submarine.
See, on a submarine, you would look suspicious in civilian clothes.
Now, I don't know a lot about subs,
but I would say search the seas.
Could be a foreigner.
Ijust tell you this 'cause it's my patriotic duty.
But if I'm right, I want the hundred grand reward.
Let's get this monkey out of here. Come on. Get out.
Any of you fellas in the market for a shirt?
You'd look good in brown.
It's a lovely town. Ain't it?
I spent a week here one night.
Whattaya think? It's a beauty.
Where the hell are we?
Towanda, Pennsylvania, kid.
Hmm. How far is Pittsburgh?
Mmm, I don't know, about a hundred miles.
Mmm. Whattaya got down there in Pittsburgh?
You got a sugar doughnut down there, huh?
Mmm, wait'll you see her. Oh, yeah?
She got a sister?
Well, let's get the hell down there. Whattaya say?
For violation of the Uniform Firearms Act,
to which you have pleaded guilty,
I sentence you, James Joseph O'Keefe,
to three years in the Bradford County Jail and a fine of $3,000.
Your Honor, there ain't no precedent for that kind of sentence...
on a violation of the Uniform Firearms Act!
The maximum ever given was 18 months in the case of Rassmussen v. Pennsylvania.
Then we will make legal history and set a new precedent...
in the case of Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. O'Keefe.
Stanley Gusciora.
A jury of your peers...
has found you guilty of two counts of burglary,
possession of stolen goods and resisting arrest.
And in restitution for these crimes,
I order you to be sent to the Western Pennsylvania State Penitentiary...
at Pittsburgh, where you will serve 20 years.
Your Honor, I can't do no 20 years.
Well, do as much as you can, son.
You gotta look at it this way.
They got themselves pinched because they're assholes, and it ain't our fault.
Yeah, right, but we can't let 'em sink.
We gotta do the right thing here, Joe,
and I can't handle it outta my own pocket no more.
There ain't nothin' we can do. We gotta do somethin'.
Gus's lawyer needs ten grand for the appeal.
And Specky needs six for his sister's doctor.
She's got some kind of cancer, Joe. She's maybe gonna kick.
She ain't got no cancer. She's a rummy scumbag.
I brought her two grand personally. She boozed it up.
Now I wouldn't piss on her if she was on fire.
We can't spend another dime of that score until the statute is up.
This whole problem comes about from you bringin' in two guys too many.
Hey, wait a minute. You're sittin' on a million and a half because of me.
You know some of them bags is filled with new bills and checks.
I personally had to flush 50 grand down the toilet.
Fifty grand?
That's not your dough.
Where do you come off flushin' fifty grand down a toilet?
They was new bills with consecutive serial numbers.
They was worthless. It broke my heart. What can I do?
How do I know what you flushed down the toilet?
Listen, Tony... I can't believe it! Fifty G's?
- You're pullin' my tit! - I'm holdin' that dough 'cause you wanted it that way.
And frankly I'm shocked at your attitude, man!
Hey, mick, where the hell are you goin'?
Goddamn it! I want that dough!
And I want it right now!
You ain't gettin' no dough! There's no dough!
Open the gate.
How are you, Specky?
You're lookin' okay.
Yeah?
There's these two doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
They got this new kind of treatment. Where the hell's that magazine?
Here. I brought you the book you wanted.
And I brought you a carton of cigarettes, but they'll only let me give ya two packs.
Now, there's this long article about leukemia. I want you to read it.
Damn Leroy must've took it while I was in the shower.
Anyhow, I want you to get my sister in Johns Hopkins,
and I want you to get her in there right now.
Joe give her two grand. Did she tell ya?
Aw, he didn't give her dog squeeze, for chrissakes!
She's in a charity ward in Massachusetts General.
All right. I'll go see her.
I want you to read that article. Damn it. Leroy?
What'd you do with my Popular Science I ain't seen it, Specky.
Ahhh, damn Leroy. He took it. I know it.
I'll tell you, man, they just steal everything from you around here.
All these guys... Heaven's sakes... What? Specky.
Just nine months more... and we're all in the clear.
Uh-huh.
Hey, how'd you like the ride down here?
Well, it was all right. They got the roads cleared after the blizzard.
Yeah. Play the radio? Yeah, sure.
Hydromatic eats up the highway, huh?
What color d'you get? Two—tone?
You're on the wrong horse, Specky. I'd have got a blue one.
One of those deep metallic blues like they got nowadays.
That Olds 88's the fastest car on the highway.
I know it, but, uh, how's it steering? You like that power steering stuff?
What are you gettin' at?
You think I oughta sit here and let the statutes run out?
It's the only way.
You mean...
Yeah, it's the way I get kissed off, ain't it?
It's the way I get stuck here eatin' a lifetime of stacked sentences...
and you guys, you're out there runnin' around in fancy cars...
and spendin' my share, for chrissakes.
Tell me, man. Nobody's spendin' your share,
and nobody's gonna touch your share.
Aw, don't give me that shit!
Listen. I told my mama I was gonna take care of my sister. You understand me?
Now my sister's dyin' in a charity ward.
Well, you better get up some of the dough, buddy, and I mean you better get it up.
Because I don't care what I'm doin' anymore.
Do you understand me when I tell ya that I don't care no more?
Ya got that?
Specky, I come up here to tell ya somethin'...
to remind you that you took an oath.
We all took that oath, and now you gotta stand up to it.
Well, I can't do no more time!
I ain't doin' no more time!
Now, listen. My sister's dyin', for chrissakes.
I'm tellin' ya...
and I ain't got no more control!
It's slippin' outta my hands! Don't you understand that?
God... damn it!
You gotta hold.
You hold... and I'll get back to ya.
Yeah. You hold on now.
A hundred percent, you got it?
I'll be back.
Yeah.
Son of a bitches!
All right, Gus, let's run it down again.
All right.
Jack LaRue is a faggot. Now, what do you wanna hear first?
How I did the Lindbergh kidnapping or I started the Korean War?
How's it goin' so far, Gus?
We all look like the Boy Scout jamboree out here.
We won't be here long. We just wanna settle accounts.
It's all in the process. What process?
The complicated process by which I launder the dough.
You think I just pull it outta my ear?
You better start pullin' it outta somewhere. You're holdin' out, mister.
Did you give Specky's sister two grand?
Of course. Yes, I did. Out of my own pocket.
Then why the hell is he tellin' me you didn't?
She probably drank it up so fast, she must've forgot.
She's been drunk for 12 years.
Come up with the money, Joe, or you're dead.
I ain't goin' to the well until the statute runs out, and that's two weeks!
In two weeks, you can cut it up on The Ed Sullivan Show, if that's what you want.
No good, Joe. Ain't gonna hold for two weeks.
The whole thing's comin' apart, believe me.
That Band-Aid O'Keefe has got you buffaloed, that piece of shit!
He's gonna spend the rest of his life in the can.
We'll all see Christ do the miracles before he sees a dime outta this score.
We'll take care of Specky,
but we want our end now.
See ya in two weeks.
Joe.
If you walk outta here now, you're never gonna walk again.
You threaten me, bookie, you're gonna end up a rumor in this town.
I told ya he was no good!
Listen! We're not killers. We want our dough.
Killin' this bastard ain't gonna get us our dough.
Ahhh!
Ohhh!
If I was to tell you somethin',
would you promise me somethin' in return?
We don't make promises.
Then kiss my ass.
You got a smoke?
Huh. I never seen these before.
It's a new brand, Specky.
Yeah, filter.
Well, I'll be damned. I been readin' about that.
Filters out the nicotine.
Damnedest things they come up with nowadays.
Gettin' dark, Specky.
Well, like I been tellin' you guys,
you ain't gonna get nothin' out of me.
I mean, you got nothin' to threaten me with no more.
You wanna stack sentences on me? Stack 'em up to the goddamn moon.
I don't give a damn.
'Cause I can serve time. Doin' time don't bother me no more.
I mean, hell, after what I went through over in, uh, Tokyo.
You think ol' Tojo's boys didn't try to get me to talk?
Shit.
I mean, I know what sufferin' is and torture.
But I can hold out.
Forever.
So you may as well forget it.
I ain't tellin' ya nothin'.
I ain't gonna tell ya nothin'.
Jesus, kid!
Jesus Christ.
- Hello, Mary. — Mary.
When are you bums gonna quit annoyin' innocent people?
- How ya doin', fellas? - Let's take a ride down to Stuart Street, Tony.
Hey, my Tony is a decent family man.
There oughta be a law against this kinda harassment.
When are you guys gonna run outta questions?
Because I run outta answers a long time ago.
No more questions, Tony. This time it's an indictment. Is that a fact?
Mommi, get me a clean pair of shorts, will ya?
Why don't ya come in and sit down and have one of Mary's good home-cooked meals?
You'll feel a lot better.
What the hell. Why not?
You're outta clean shorts, Poppi. Couldn't find any.
They gotta be there somewhere. Ijust boosted a pair yesterday.
Well, it don't matter.
I'll be home in time for The Ed Sullivan Show.
See ya.
We got everything we need to tie this up, Tony.
Do yourself a favor. You're lookin' at life imprisonment.
I'm gonna get life for robbery? Christ, you got murderers here don't do a pound!
We want the money, we want you to name your accomplices. Then we'll see what we can do.
You're perpetrating a gross miscarriage of injustice,
and someday you guys are gonna beg me to forgive you for this,
only I ain't gonna turn the other cheek.
I'm gonna sue you for every minute I spend in the joint!
I'm gonna see ya in court!
Life? That's a joke!
Me and Tony, we got the best mouthpiece in the country workin' on this,
and we got three Supreme Court justices just waitin' to dismiss this case on appeal.
I'll be out in less than a year.
I ain't nobody's egg to be cracked.
If your war record were considered,
and you were able to substantiate O'Keefe's testimony,
you could end up with less than five years.
The sentence is death for you, Joe.
At your age, you won't live to see a parole board.
You know, boys, it could be a favor you'll be doin' me.
You're givin' me a chance to do that to which I have always aspired.
The furthering of the Lord's work...
and a life dedicated to the study of the Scriptures.
You don't owe these people any loyalty, Jazz.
They're not your kinda guy. They're scum.
Give us a break, and we'll cut a deal.
We could have you back with your family in less than a year.
Lemme tell ya somethin'.
First of all, you're talkin' to an innocent man.
I wasn't even in on the Brink's.
I don't know how you got my name or why you brought me here,
because I had nothin' to do with that job.
And let me tell ya somethin' else.
Jazz Maffie ain't for sale,
and he don't put nobody else up for sale either.
That's good. Right here. One here, sir.
That's good. Thank you. Mr. Director,
could you point out the evidence to us, please?
Yes.
Could you raise the hat up a little bit? Thank you.
Could you show us the route that the robbers took, Director? Please?
Yeah. Here.
Hold it just like that.
That's good. Is it true, Mr. Director,
that less than $50,000 of Brink's money has been recovered?
Yes, yes, but there's an ongoing investigation to locate the rest,
and I am con?dent that it will someday be found.
Thank you. Mr. Director, sources in Washington have mentioned...
that over $25 million has been spent investigating this case.
Would you care to comment on that? Yes.
The importance of a case like this cannot be measured in terms of what it cost.
The Brink's robbery was the crime of the century.
It excited the imagination of the youth of America.
It is our solemn obligation to prove to them that crime does not pay.
- Thank you, Mr. Director. - Thank you. Thank you.
What a good line!
It had to be an inside job! Bullshit!
Youse are all wrong. It was Tony Pino. I know it.
He's the only one that coulda planned this kinda thing.
- He's a friend of mine. - It was an inside job!
He did. I know him.
You're sayin' an Irish guy coulda did this?
Yeah, an Irish guy coulda. Joe McGinnis was the brains.
Sandy, baby. You're all right, Sandy!
- Vincent! Vincent! - Gladys! Gladys!
Oh! How ya doin'?
I'll always love ya, Vinnie! Will you wait for me, Gladys?
Forever, Vinnie! Forever! You got style.
I always said you had style!
Don't worry about nothin'. We'll take care of Maw.
Hey, Tony! Tony, over here!
Sign this, Tony, please! You're the greatest!
Remember me? You used to rob-a my store!
Hey, he is my friend. He used to rob-a my store!
No more! No more!
to illustrate his last remark
Jonah in the whale Noah in the ark
that did they do
just when everything looked so dark
Hey, Tony!
man, they said we better
accentuate the positive Hey, Tony!
You're the greatest thief that ever lived! Eliminate the negative
Nobody will ever do what you did, Tony! Latch on to the affirmative
don’t mess with Mr. In—between
do, do not mess with Mr. In—between
