The Anatomy of a Chase: Behind the Scenes of the Filming of 'The Seven-Ups' Page #4

---

You're telling something about the Seven-Ups

being secret? Can't you give us any facts?

- I can't give them to you,

because I am not at liberty to.

- What do you mean by "Seven-Ups"?

- What is the Seven-Ups?

Tell us about the Seven-Ups.

- Wait a minute, Chief.

- Who's this guy?

- Hey, who's that guy?

No, please, don't. I'll come over in about an hour.

Promise. In an hour.

Now, look, don't come down.

Yeah.

All right, all right.

In an hour.

Okay. Bye-bye.

She's all alone.

Get the monsignor over there.

What the hell happened?

I don't know.

I wish I knew.

There's something heavy that the boys

downtown never told us about.

Have you heard rumors

of mob kidnappings?

No.

I heard about...

that heavy artillery on the street.

That's all.

Why the hell didn't you tell us?

A squad from the chief

detective's office...

is investigating stories

about undercover police-

alleged police-

going around kidnapping

wiseguys for ransom.

And you think it's us?

Buddy, what would you think?

What was Ansel doing with Coltello?

A lot of people never

wanted our outfit formed.

- You know that.

They didn't like the way we operated.

- What do you think?

I think we've got a whole bunch

of unanswered questions here.

Yeah, well, just give us a little time,

and we'll get the answers.

There is no time.

Chief...

Ansel and I have been together

for five years before this.

We're not to function

for the time being.

What the hell does that mean?

Does that mean house arrest?

Call it what you like.

We're all supposed to be grounded

until the investigation starts next Monday.

[Scoffs]

One of our guys gets murdered,

and we get investigated.

That leaves no time!

#La de de de de #

Thought you didn't want

to come around here.

Thought you wanted to keep

your amateur standing.

It's all over.

Everything is all over.

The guy in the trunk was a cop.

- What, are you crazy or something?

- No.

I'm telling you, you killed a cop.

Come on.

Those guys don't holler copper.

Hey, do me a favor, huh?

Don't tell me what I know.

Listen to what I'm saying.

The guy you iced was a cop.

[Chuckles]

Okay, so he was a cop!

What about my guy in the garage?

They grabbed that guy.

Why? How much does he know?

You don't have to worry about him.

[Exhales Deeply] We gotta cut Festa loose.

You gotta get lost for a while. Get outta town.

- Come on!

- Hey.

- Hey, what?

- Look at me. It is over. Finito.

Believe me.

I thought you wanted

to make more money.

Yeah, I wanna make more money,

but there's no way it's gonna happen, see?

There isn't gonna be any more on account of

my guy's not gonna give me any more information.

I mean, there's no way in the world.

He's gonna want info now,

looking for whoever killed his partner, right?

Hey, all I'm doing is telling you.

When this guy starts looking,

forget it.

Okay.

So who's this guy who's looking?

That's out.

Forget it.

That wasn't part of the deal.

Well, maybe we're gonna have to change

that deal if he comes looking for me.

- What'd he say?

- Nothing. Nothing much.

How long has he been in there?

A little while.

Want me to get him out?

Oh, yeah.

Just sit down, Mr. "T."

Sit down!

Now it's your turn to talk.

Now, look...

we can do this the easy way

or the hard way.

I told you, man. I only work at the garage.

I don't know nothin'.

Look.

Look at my hands.

I've been here before.

You do what you gotta do.

I didn't talk then,

and I ain't talkin' now.

- You son of a b*tch!

- [Grunts]

Get up! Get up here!

[Groaning]

- What's happenin'?

- Hey, what's happenin', Ringy?

- How you doin'?

- All right. How you doin'?

- How you doin'?

- What do you say, baby?

- [Breathing Heavily]

- Breathing's very labored.

- Keep a close watch on him.

- All right.

I'll be in the hospital

if you need me.

Thank you, Doctor.

Can I help you?

- Routine.

- [Moaning]

- How's he doing?

- Very badly.

[Continues Breathing Heavily]

- Coltello?

- Leave-

- Carmine?

- Leave-

- Who shot you?

- Leave me... alone.

Who shot the policeman in your car?

I'm hurt... bad.

Please-

[Continues Breathing Heavily]

Carmine...

Who shot the policeman

in your car?

I don't know. I-

[Mumbles]

[Gasping]

What are you doing?

Who shot you, Carmine, huh?

- Who shot the policeman?

- Y-You'll kill me.

[Mumbling]

There you are.

There you are.

Now, you tell me.

Who shot you?

- Please, don't let me die.

- Who shot the policeman?

I don't know.

I don't know. Please.

[Mumbles, Gasps]

No! No! He- Help, nurse!

H-Help! Ple- Please!

Help! No! No!

Y-You'll kill me.

No, please. Please.

Who, Carmine?

Who did it?

M- M- M- M- Max.

His idea. M-Max.

Freeze! Do nothin'. Get out.

- No!

- Shut up!

- Oh, no! Oh!

- Okay, Max. Right here, right here.

- Get up. Get up. Slow. Slow, Max.

- [Sobbing]

- Shh! Right here. Right here. Up, up, up, up.

- Please don't.

Oh! Oh, no! Maxie! Maxie!

- Answer this question.

- Okay.

Who were the guys who shot my partner

in the back of that car?

- I don't know. I swear, I don't know.

- Answer the question!

- I sw-

- Huh? Max, shh. Tell me, Max. You tell me.

Who were those guys that shot my partner

in the backseat of the car?

- I swear to God, I don't know!

- [Sobbing Continues]

No!

Oh, no!

- Take it easy with-

- No!

- Please don't hurt her!

- No!

- No!

- All right.

- Who, Max? Who?

- I don't know.

I tell ya, I don't know!

All I know is about the kidnappings.

- The kidnappings. That's all I know.

- Kidnappings? What kidnappings?

- All over town. A lot of guys.

- What guys?

- Festa- Festa a-a-and Spinelli...

- Who?

And Rosetti and Rico and me.

And you, huh?

All right.

We're gonna go. Shh.

- Shh. Yeah. Yeah.

- [Sobbing Continues] Oh, no.

No more. No more!

No more, no more, no more!

[Train Rumbling]

I hustled over as quick as I could.

Is everything all right?

You don't usually call me at home.

Everything is lousy.

Why? Why?

On account of the cop

getting killed, huh?

Yeah, I read about it.

That's too bad.

I guess you're on that now, huh?

He must've been a great guy, huh?

He was all right.

What do you know

about a bandit named Toredano?

I never heard of him.

You read the story, didn't you?

Yeah, I read it.

I didn't see anything about a-

Oh, that's the... garage guy, right?

- Yeah.

- I want you to find out about this guy.

Now, I wanna know where he goes...

- who he sees, what he does.

- [Sighs]

Now, he did some time.

Maybe he's seeing

the guys he was in with.

Hey, Buddy, I mean,

how long is this gonna go on, huh?

You gonna help me?

Yeah, uh- I mean,

I'll see what I can do.

Now, we had him locked up.

The D.A.'s springin' him

in the morning.

Well, he didn't know much,

then, right?

He knows it all,

including what he doesn't have to tell the D.A.

But what he's gonna have to tell us-

That's a whole different story.

Yeah.

What is it?

Buddy, uh-

Call me in the morning.
