Cry Danger Page #6

who hasn't.

Are you awake

Or do you want

some more water?

All right,

don't talk,

But you're gonna

listen real hard.

You don't know

when to stop,

Do you, stupid?

I'm out one day

And you try

to fix it

So I'm right back

in again.

How big does the

50 grand look now?

Can I get up?

You can't

move one inch.

I love to see

a big legitimate man

Like you

flat on your back.

In case

you're curious

Why Cobb

didn't hold me,

You slipped up,

Castro.

He followed me

To your place

last night,

Which makes that

little lie of yours

About not seeing me

kind of curious.

He's beginning

to wonder

About a few things.

That money's

beginning

To tie

right back to you.

Why don't you calm down?

Because I

don't feel calm.

I talked

to a woman today

Who told me

about a Mr. Fletcher

Who was bribed

to identify me.

You know anything

about that?

All right.

You want the money.

Let's make a deal.

You got another

horse for me?

Let me get up.

I'll put this right

through your skull

If you get up

before I tell you.

I'll get the money for you.

I don't want

the 50 now.

I want all of it.

How can I get it all?

I've only got half of it.

You can use

That fertile brain

of yours

To figure that out.

You make one more

cute move

And see how long

you live.

I'll have it all

by tomorrow morning.

You sure will.

Now get up.

20 bucks? Gee,

I can't crack that.

Come on. We'll get it.

Mm, he's back.

Well, that was

a long hour.

Got any good money?

Yeah, a little.

Why?

Pay the cabdriver.

How much?

Buck 95.

Here's 2 bucks.

Keep the change,

And don't lose

your head.

Wasn't a very

successful celebration.

Oh, it doesn't matter.

You can take those

presents back tomorrow.

Nancy, I didn't expect

to do what I'm doing

Without getting

in a little trouble.

Well, what are you

trying to do,

Get back to

where Danny is?

Looks like

we're about to have

A very tense moment.

Look, it's

quarter to 2:
00.

We got plenty of time

to make it to a bar

For a nightcap.

The time

doesn't matter.

I know a bartender.

Keep this for me,

will you, pal?

You carry the money

this time.

We'll see if I can

steal it from you.

Aren't you the comic

and insulter?

Where are

the car keys?

If I'm not back

by Tuesday,

Drag the river.

Good night.

Aren't you taking

an awful lot on yourself?

Danny asked you

not to. I ask you.

I'm getting close,

Nancy.

But one thing you

seem to have forgotten.

Danny doesn't get out

in 6 months.

He merely comes up

for parole.

Everything you're doing

Is just gonna make it

that much harder for him.

Believe me, it isn't.

I wouldn't take

a chance with that.

Don't you think

that should be up to him?

After all,

you're already out.

I'm too close.

I'm not gonna quit now.

Oh, sure, Rocky,

have it your way.

You always have.

Rocky's gonna

help his friends

Even if it kills them.

You can't really

think that.

Oh, I'm just sick

of the whole thing.

I've been living with this

Hanging over my head

for 5 years.

I'm trying to fix it

So it'll be easier

for you from now on.

Well, you're not.

You're just messing

everything up.

You've always

been stubborn.

You make up your mind

and nobody can change it,

Not even me.

Call an ambulance.

You needn't bother

for this one. She's dead.

Go on, I said.

Call an ambulance.

He still alive?

Yeah, who are you?

Police. I'm tailing

you for Cobb.

Well, you did

a great job.

Where's the guy

who did this?

Guys-2 of 'em.

My car was headed in

the wrong direction.

They were

out of sight

By the time

I got the door open.

You better

leave him alone

Till a doctor

gets here.

Rocky, they thought

that was you...

of course they did.

And me.

They just didn't care

who they got

As long as they got me.

Rocky, they thought

that was me.

Take it easy, dear.

Don't go anywhere, Mulloy.

Cobb will want to see you.

I don't want to have to look

all around for you.

No-Good mess.

They were after me

and got you.

Sorry.

What's the difference-

This or an alcoholic ward?

How bad's Darlene?

As bad as she can get.

Oh, that's a shame.

I was gettin' awful fond

of that little pickpocket.

Yeah, I know.

Look, Rocky, this thing's

getting rough.

I think you got

your neck out too far.

Don't worry about it.

Let's forget

our whole deal

And go fishing

or something.

You like fishing?

Used to.

At least it's healthy.

You sure you don't know

who did the shooting?

No.

By the way, officer,

I'd like to talk

to lieutenant Cobb.

Well, I'll tell him.

If it's about that

phony alibi

You gave

for Mulloy here,

Cobb knows

all about it.

He's even discussed

it with the D.A.

I figured.

That's not what I

wan to talk to him about.

Tell him that unless

he wants me to sue the city,

He better do something

About getting me

a new wooden leg.

I'll mention it

to him.

Yeah. See if he can

get it in knotty pine.

I want it

to match my den.

Come on, Mulloy.

Cobb's waiting

for you.

All right.

Rocky.

Yeah?

I know where

we can pick up

A couple of

fishing poles cheap.

Plenty of time.

Look, they made

a mistake.

That doesn't mean

they're gonna stop trying.

For rubbing.

Just like

the old days-

Blazing guns

and big black limousines.

Aren't you indignant,

And don't you want to call

for your attorney?

He's on his way.

Well, this is murder-

Not just a cheesy matter

of some hot money,

But a dead girl and

a shot-Up soldier.

You know they were

after you, of course.

It doesn't take

an I.Q. Of 150

To figure that.

And you, Mrs. Morgan,

except for a little mistake,

You'd be lying on a slab

in the morgue right now.

Can you think

of any reason why?

No.

I can't imagine.

I'm not asking you

to imagine anything.

You're alive

on a rain check.

You better start

remembering

Anything that

might help me.

Where were you

last night

When someone

took a shot at Rocky?

I was in bed.

Sound asleep, huh,

And it never even

woke you?

Lay off her, Gus.

Oh, sure. I don't

want to upset anybody.

What's a little thing

like murder?

And you were in your bar

Having a drink with

a couple of friends.

That's easy enough

to check.

Yeah, you'd be

awfully sure of that,

Yet you were home

earlier

When Rocky slapped you

around a little.

That's right.

Why did you go back

to your bar?

I couldn't sleep.

I can't hold any of you,

But I want you to know

my fondest hope

Is that one of you

bumps the other off

So I can pick up

who's left.

Are we through?

You are when I say so.

Now, just get it

through your heads

That the pressure's on.

I wouldn't give a nickel

For your husband's chances

before that parole board

With all this going on,

And I wouldn't give

a nickel for your chances

With those 2 apes

running around

Looking for you.

For you, I just

wouldn't give a nickel.

You two can go now.

Not you.

Oh, Rocky.

I'm taking

the tail off you.

You're on your own now.

You picked

a swell time to do it.
