You won't know that

until you testify.

You're a good man, Tracy.

I want to do the right thing.

Come here.

What's the hurry?

Where's the fire?

Throwing a ball, big deal.

Tess, this is...

I know who she is.

Hello, Miss Mahoney.

You must be Miss Trueheart.

Tracy's told me

so much about you.

Oh?

He doesn't know so

awfully much about me.

Thanks for coming by.

We'll be in touch, Tracy.

Right.

Miss Trueheart.

What a cute little boy.

I'll bet she does some

nifty undercover work.

We're making our move

on the Club Ritz tonight.

Is this pistachio?

That's what I call a dame.

What was she doing here?

I'm trying to get her to testify.

You ought to let me talk to her.

Is this 88 Keys?

I got a deal for ya.

Meet me at the City

Car Barn in one hour.

That's right, one hour.

Up here, 88.

Open the suitcase.

You want to know

why I called you?

$5000, your first payment.

For what?

You work for Big Boy now.

You want to make a lot

of money helping him?

Yes or no?

Yeah.

Give that letter to Big Boy.

Tell him you found it

under your door.

Who do I tell him

you are?

You don't.

Because you never saw me.

Don't try to find me.

I'll call you.

Make the deal.

"If you kill Dick Tracy...

"you will be the prime suspect,

"and the city

will mobilize against you.

"For 10% of your business,

"we guarantee Dick Tracy

won't be a problem any more.

You will not be

suspected of anything."

What can you lose?

They don't deliver,

you don't pay.

You're a piano player.

What do you want to be,

a radish?

Don't bring me a deal

from someone you never saw,

you don't know

how to get to.

Get him out of here.

Got a match?

- What was that all about?

- My income tax.

Hey!

Come here.

Want me to follow him?

Where? To the piano?

That was none

of your business.

Come here.

I'm your business.

Okay, Numbers,

let's see your numbers.

Where do you

think you're going?

Come on, Tracy.

Take me with you.

Get back in there,

and brush your teeth.

Go on.

Wish me luck tonight.

I'll see you later.

Move in and

take your positions.

Sooner or later

I've got to hand it

to you, Big Boy.

You've got the best

broads in town, top drawer.

Come in, Tracy.

Come in.

- [Radio] This is Tracy, Sam.

- We made it.

Careful, Tracy.

The waiters carry guns.

All set.

Okay, boys. Let's go.

[Alarm]

All right,

I've got it under control.

Relax, please.

Everybody, it's okay.

No, no.

I've got it under control.

Everything's under control.

Just sit down. Relax.

Get this thing taken care of.

Everything's all right.

Bill, that side.

Frank, cover the bar.

Hello, Big Boy.

The gang's all here.

Class reunion?

This is a private party,

invitation only.

Here's my invitation,

a search warrant.

No gambling, no nothing.

You thought

we had gambling?

I wouldn't be caught

dead near gambling!

I'll be back.

Tell me when you're coming.

I'll have a big party.

- Let's go, boys.

- Right, Tracy.

You said you'd

take care of Tracy.

He didn't look around.

Did you notice?

- Yeah.

- I don't get it.

- How'd it go?

- Clockwork.

Let's hope he thinks

I'm too stupid...

to look under tables.

[Tracy]

I am going to get him.

It's just a question of when.

Sooner or later

Baby, it's time

Get over to

132 Broad Street.

132 Broad Street.

132 Broad Street.

Right!

Tracy has struck hard

at the heart of the gang empire.

I'm gonna love you

I'm gonna love you

Sooner is better

This time I'm

Tracy, Tracy,

Tracy, Tracy!

Everywhere I turn...

it's Tracy, Tracy,

Tracy!

It's like he's reading my mind.

Texie Garcia...

Ribs Mocca, Johnny Ramm,

and now de Santo.

How could he

catch them so fast?

I don't understand.

He knows what we're doing...

before we do it.

You said you'd

take care of Tracy.

"Leave it to me,"

you said.

Let me tell you something.

I'm taking him out

of the headlines.

I'm rubbing him out!

You kill Tracy,

they point the finger at me.

This...

[Whispering]

We're being bugged.

We're being bugged.

We're being bugged.

What'd you put in this chili,

melted rubber?

Sometimes I wonder...

why I slave over

a hot stove for you.

Okay, Freddy. Get down

to the southside warehouse.

Big pay-off!

Tracy, I'm leaving.

I used to be afraid that...

maybe you'd never take

some time and settle down,

and now I know it.

I knew you'd never

want a desk job, Tracy.

[Radio]

Calling Dick Tracy.

Do you read me, Tracy?

You've got Big Boy

on the run, and that's good.

Calling Dick Tracy.

Calling Dick Tracy.

Tracy...

good luck.

Come in, Tracy.

This is Bug Bailey.

Do you read me?

What is it?

There's something going on

at the southside warehouse.

It sounds really big.

Go on.

Tracy, come in.

Go on.

Are you there?

Better get over there.

I'm on my way.

I'll be back, Tess.

[Pruneface]

Reload.

All right! That's enough!

I want him dead!

Both of them!

I want this No-Face dead

and Tracy dead.

What's the matter?

You forgot how to kill people?

Doesn't your work

mean anything to you any more?

Have you no sense...

of pride in what you do?

No sense of duty?

No sense of destiny?

I'm lookin' for generals!

What do I got?

Foot soldiers!

I want Dick Tracy dead!

If you say there was

a man with no face,

I'll bet the mortgage there was.

But who's he working for?

I don't know.

Get my suit cleaned.

We need a witness

who'll testify.

- A man with no face?

- A man with no face.

What can you lose,

Big Boy?

They want to get rid

of Tracy as much as you.

It only costs you 10%.

- What can you lose?

- Okay, piano player.

You've got a deal.

Give the kid a doughnut.

Hi, Tracy.

- Hi, Tracy.

- Where's Tess?

She's out of town.

She asked me

and the boys...

to take care of the kid till

they take him to the orphanage.

Tess went out of town?

Sorry, I thought you knew.

Want me to take the kid

back to the precinct?

No, Chief. Thanks a lot.

Good night.

Tracy,

want a doughnut?

Uh, yeah. Thanks.

Mike, let me have a coffee.

Coffee.

One for me too.

[88 Keys]

And just wants to

As a friend

At least now

Cheer up, Tracy.

I'm the one in danger.

I shouldn't be

talking to a cop.

- You know what I want.

- I want to hear you say it.

- I don't want you hurt.

- Don't tell me what you don't want.

Tell me what you do want.

You want me.

Don't you?

You're right.

I do want you... in court.

You're lying.

You want me the same way I want you.

You want me to take a risk?

I want you to take a risk.

I'll protect you.

It's my job.

I don't know about your job.

I only know what I feel.

If you can't tell me how you feel,

I can't trust you.

Wait a minute.

What do you

want me to admit?

That I think about you?

Okay, I admit it.

- Testify.

- You want my testimony?

Tell me you want me.

If you do that,

I'll do anything.

How bad do you

want Big Boy?

It's up to you.

Tell me you want me.

Tell me you want it all,

but tell me now.

If I say that,

I'll hurt somebody I don't want to.

You trust her.
