You figured it was a set. 86 00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:43.360 So many guys like you, Waxman, figure it's as sense 87 00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.599 and forget about guys like me.

Why? I said, what are 109 00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:41.519 you afraid of? It's pretty obvious you're afraid of something. 110 00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:46.439 I'm not afraid. I'm I'm just I'm nervous policeman. The 111 00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:47.360 fire and everything. 112 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:49.480 Five thousand for vacation is pretty weak. 113 00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:52.439 Please, mister dollar, I I let your company out of 114 00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:55.480 all the claims.

I 117 00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:00.959 believe it. 118 00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:03.160 If they convict me of something I did not do, 119 00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:07.000 then perhaps it is in payment for something I did 120 00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:07.800 to break the law. 121 00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:11.399 What I I can't explain? Uh, please, mister. 122 00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:15.040 Donald, Okay, look, mister Wackman. 123 00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:16.199 Good day, mister Doner. 124 00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:24.079 I hadn't noticed. I left the building and went out 125 00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:26.879 on the street. Rain was coming down hotter, so I 126 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:30.279 turned up my collar and started to walk. I couldn't 127 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.680 stop thinking about Benny Waxman in this crazy, mixed up story, 128 00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:36.319 A guy who burned down his store with an incendiary 129 00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:39.120 bomb and smart enough to have a better story. The 130 00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:42.279 five thousand he'd given his daughter or vacation that was wrong, 131 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.199 taking himself look guilty by telling me to forget the 132 00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:49.639 claim that was wrong. He was scared, not of Parkinson 133 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:51.920 or me, but of something that was mixing up his reason. 134 00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:55.600 Maybe I was wrong too, but I was gonna find out. 135 00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:01.680 The fifteenth Precinct was on Madison. Lieutenant Parkinson was in 136 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:08.079 his office. Hellout, hello, you look wet walk. I'll take 137 00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:11.600 off your coat and yeah, I sit out. Thank you? 138 00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:16.680 Did uh you have a talk with Watsman? M I 139 00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:19.839 think I couldn't tell you him five seconds. Yeah, what 140 00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:24.680 do you think? I'm surprised, but what he didn't come 141 00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:28.279 here to insult h You think he's innocent. I think 142 00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:30.079 there's a lot more to it than just a fire 143 00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:33.680 and a killing, isn't they're always I think he's scared stiff. 144 00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:36.879 Tell her why a guy who starts a fire. That's 145 00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:40.839 a better alibi. He want some coffee? Yeah, I'm good, 146 00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:44.639 that should be. My wife gave me the electric pot 147 00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:47.199 so I could have my coffee on do so as 148 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:48.759 I drink too much of it, but she gave it 149 00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:55.759 to me. Yeah. Yes, watsman didn't start that fire. Is 150 00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:59.560 that strong enough? Mm CA's pretty good. Guys who burned 151 00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:01.879 down their bill us do it two or three different ways. 152 00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:04.560 Not with him in Senniary Barns. I've got to ride him. 153 00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:06.199 I try to be nice to him, try to get 154 00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:09.360 it out of him, but he's too scared a lot. Yeah, Now, 155 00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:13.040 I have to guess. There's a protection racket here that 156 00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:16.800 covers every independent store in the city. It's the tightest 157 00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:20.480 best controlled organization I've run up against, so tight that 158 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:23.000 we've been trying to break it for a year. Two 159 00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:25.000 other stores have gone up this way, but the owners 160 00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:26.959 are so scared they won't say a thing. Scared for 161 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.720 their families. It's the best thing to be scared for 162 00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:33.920 Waxman's daughter. Yeah, I don't know how she fits. I 163 00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:36.240 don't know how the five grand it's what do you 164 00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:39.439 expect to gain by making him look ill? Long shot? 165 00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:42.839 He won't say anything, but uh, maybe one of his 166 00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:45.920 friends will. Maybe they will say something if they've been 167 00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:48.480 scared this long. He's got one friend very close from 168 00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:53.759 the Angelino Giuseppe business. Yeah, delicatessen. Like Waxman, Angelino hasn't 169 00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:55.680 got a family, but he got beat up last year. 170 00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:59.839 Wouldn't make a complaint. He's scared too, but he's only 171 00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:01.759 got himself to worry about. Maybe if he thinks his 172 00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:03.720 best friend is in line for a murder raft, he 173 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:05.480 would give us something to go on. Why don't you 174 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:07.800 arrise Waxman make it look like he's really in trouble. 175 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:10.519 And I'll do that when I have to. I think 176 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:12.959 his daughter is mixed up in it some way. Most 177 00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:16.199 of her clothes are still in the apartment. Maybe Waxman 178 00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:19.439 will be contacted. I want to be around when he is. 179 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.720 I don't know, Dolly, but a gang that can put 180 00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:26.399 this much fear into people might do anything. Waxman's been 181 00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:28.639 beat up a couple of times himself. Never pressed charges, 182 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.560 but he's been pretty indignant. What I can find out 183 00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:33.720 about him, he's not the type to pay for protection. 184 00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:37.679 Became a citizen two years ago and believes in what 185 00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:40.399 he had to learn to become a citizen.

Might 371 00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:23.000 be our boy. I can't remember him. He should be 372 00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:29.799 easy to check. Yah, let's find out he was beginning 373 00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:32.160 to fit. The two strong arm boys had worked together 374 00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:34.200 in Kansas City for a man named Dutch Fisher who 375 00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:36.440 was still doing time, and there was a fourth member 376 00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:39.480 of the gang still unaccounted for. In a half hour, 377 00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:43.200 Branda's had the information. His name is Billotti, I remember now, 378 00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:46.400 George Bilotti. He took the information down to the mug 379 00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:48.599 file and dug out the package on George Blotti, the 380 00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:51.200 fourth member of the Dutch fisher Gang. Branna's took one 381 00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:54.400 look at his picture and his mouth fell open. Well, oh, 382 00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:57.720 what's wrong George Bilotti about him? He's in the city 383 00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:02.799 I know, and let's go talk to him. Uh No, Now, look, 384 00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:05.279 Fenny's daughter is still missing. That remark I made about 385 00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:08.079 the river could become a fact. George Biolati is George Bivens. 386 00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:09.400 That's the name I know him by. I came to 387 00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:11.599 this town about seven years ago, runs a respectable night 388 00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:14.000 and pick him up on what suspicion he's clean in 389 00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:15.920 this town. You've certainly got enough in this record. I 390 00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:17.519 have a talk to him. There isn't much time. If 391 00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:21.759 we pick him up, that girl won't live five minutes. Yeah, 392 00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:25.359 where's his nightclub? Fifty second Street, the Yellow Parrot. Why 393 00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:28.480 somebody's got to talk to him? And then your official capacity, 394 00:19:28.519 --> 00:19:30.599 you'll never get the answers you wanted. What makes you 395 00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:33.279 think I'll give them to you? Because I kind of 396 00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:34.599 liked Lieutenant Parkinson. 397 00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:48.119 Yes on your one. 398 00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:53.039 Yeah, George Bivens got an apploytment. No, well you Johnny 399 00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:55.960 Dalla tell Bevins, I want to see him. 400 00:19:55.960 --> 00:19:57.240 Sorry, you gotta have an appointment. 401 00:19:57.319 --> 00:20:00.160
