Excuse me.

Can you think of anyone

who would want to harm them?

They have a lot of money.

What was the old lady doing working down there?

- I don't want to talk about the family.

-Just tell me that.

put the kids through school.

She wanted to stay there.

She used to work in Palestine?

Always coldest just before the dawn.

Yes, I remember that.

You going in?

Where are the lights?

Some valuable stuff down in the cellar?

Hey, that's just something they said.

Something the kids been sayin'

anound here for years.

See for yourself.

Nothin' down there.

- Hmm.

- Dust on the stairs.

- Ain't nobody been down there in years.

- Uh-huh.

They say she kept a piece

behind the counter.

But what is that gonna do,

some guy comes in with a shotgun?

And how are you gonna be

watchin' the door all day?

- Uh-huh.

- Every day, huh?

You can't do it.

So I say I'm gonna be in here someday,

she gets popped.

And it was just a question of when,

no more, no less.

Tell you somethin' else.

I don't know that her coming here

does not make violence.

Rich Jew lady in this neighborhood

Human nature.

Someday somebody gonna

come in here, see what it is.

Greenwald. Klein. Gross.''

Good morning.

Get this to the A.T.F., will you?

Good morning.

And make me copies.

An invoice -

and a list of names.

And please, run this

through the computer-

''Grofaz.''

Assault police officer,

attempted escape.

Yeah, forget it.

F***in' guy shot his wife and kids.

What are they gonna do to him

for beating on me?

Sir, the thing is you need to make an example

of this guy hittin' on a cop.

Hey, leave it, all right?

I won't forget this, Officer.

Thank you.

I'll make it up to you. I promise.

- You're gonna make it up to me?

- Yes, I will.

Your kindness has changed my life.

Well, that's swell.

And someday, I'll repay you.

Uh-huh.

My thoughts are elsewhere.

You must pardon me.

Yeah. Grofaz. G-R-O-F-A-Z.

- Hi.

- How you doing, Billy?

Okay. You all alone here today?

Yeah, I'm never going home.

Here. Keep it.

- Anything you might have.

Particularly anything connected

with anti-Jewish acts.

Well, if you do,

will you please call me here?

Thank you.

That's him. That's the man.

- That's him. You're the one.

I'm gonna do it,

but I'm gonna do it with you.

You're gonna take him in like you told me,

nice and gentle.

Here's the setup: She's gonna tell him she's gonna

get him out of the country, get him a ticket.

-Jilly, you want to come in here?

- Hold it a minute, Frank.

We have her tell Randolph she's gonna

So Randolph thinks he's gonna take

the passport, go to South America.
