anymore than I'd cross you.
Watch your step there,
Mr. Greenberg.
I'll keep lookout.
Do you want a kidnapping charge?
That's all you need with a record
like yours. You want it?
- Abe Greenberg will lay it on ya.
- You do that.
- Dad?
- Allan?
Get me out of this.
Trust me, son.
- You'll answer to the courts for this!
- Where's the diamond?
We don't know anything.
Tell him what you finally told us!
What did you tell them, Allan?
Just...
Just that when you first came
to visit me in prison...
that you said...
if they don't wanna spring you...
and if you knew
where the stone was...
you could get it...
and sell it.
And use the money to spring me.
You think I took the diamond?
You think I'd cross my own son?
That or you're in it together.
Come on.
What? No!
- Alan! Alan!
- No! Please!
No, Daddy!
I just told you where it was!
Daddy, please!
No.! Make them
believe that, please.!
For God's sake, Daddy!
I just told you where it was!
I'm sorry.
I just don't think you can do it.
We'll throw him down
and you right after.
- Help me! No!
- Never. Never in this world.
No! Stop it!
Daddy, for God's sake!
It's a long way down, Dad.
Stop him.!
Dad, please.!
- It's not in you.
- "No, Daddy, please.!"
Help me.!
I just told you where it was!
I am sometime so astute,
it's remarkable.
There are some things
people will not do.
But there's things that get done
that you can't do yourself.
There's things that happen
that you can make happen!
Am I right, Chicken?
- Get out!
- No!
- Now, you will stop this.
- No!
I know what you will do and what
you won't do, and don't do this.
- Help me!
- I haven't got the time.
Now, stop this.
Help me, Daddy.!
I'll kill you, bastard!
Get off!
Stop him now!
- "Jesus.! Put me down.!"
- Put him down, Chicken.
Daddy, help me.!
Chicken, no!
Stop him.! Stop him.!
Jesus, stop him.!
Tell him he can have it!
Tell him he can have it!
You can have the rock.
Tell him you can have the rock!
Tell him.! Tell him.!
Here! Here! It's in
my safe deposit box.
Here! The keys!
I'm gonna tell Mama on you, Dad.
I know. I know.
- Why didn't you tell me
they ran a signature check?
- You didn't ask me, sweetie.
- How's your forgery?
- Fair.
- Fair to good. I'll brush up on it.
- And how long will that take...
and what happens
to Mr. Greenberg in the meantime?
You'll hold him here.
We can't afford to let him loose.
- Come on, guys. Let's not
fight among ourselves.
- Why not?
You want me to hold him
prisoner here?
It's called accessory after the fact.
- Minimum sentence...
- Shut up, Dad.
Gratitude.
While you're practicing up
on your penmanship...
you might leave a little time for
a refresher course in plastic surgery.
I've been tippin' people
at that bank for years.
Everybody knows Abe Greenberg.
That key won't get you anything.
Even if you forge my name, you'll never
forge this amiable countenance.
Wait. Wait.
How's this?
One of you goes into the bank
with me, armed, naturally.
And when I open the box,
you grab the diamond. Good?
Brilliant, except that that box
is in the name of Mr. Abe Greenberg.
And Mr. Abe Greenberg
is the only one allowed to get at it.
Wait. Wait. How's this?
You kill me. Bang, bang, bang!
And then you take the diamond
from my wife when she inherits it.
Good? Brilliant...
except when I die, that box gets
opened in the presence of my wife...
her lawyer, two bank officers
and a man from probate court.
She'd never get
That's the toughest
bank anywhere.
with the results you're getting.
Things could be worse, Doctor.
I mean, at least
we know where it is.
Now, all we need is a little plan.
"Here's the matriel request, Doctor.
"You'll notice there's
a submarine on it!
"But don't get excited,
we don't need anything atomic.
Just your standard, ordinary sub.
We're used to hardships."
Just give us a few days, Doctor.
We'll come through for you.
My guys thrive on challenge.
Eat your hearts out,
you sappy bastards.
It's crazy, but I somehow
feel this is all my fault.
Not so crazy.
It is all your fault.
Hey, come on.
Don't talk that way.
- Hey, we got a winning team.
-
If what we've been doin'
is winnin', guy...
you better keep your eye on the referee
'cause somebody's killin' us.
- "Dortmunder'll"
think of somethin'.
- " Oh, yeah."
Won't you think of somethin'?
He's thinkin'of somethin'.
All right. Seaver's now, again...
shaking off a sign
given to him by Yogi Berra.
Evidently, they're not
in communication tonight.
Maybe something took place
in the locker room just prior
to the game starting.
Whatever it is, he's
shaking one more sign.
Apparently, he remembers
seeing something we don't.
- This the plan?
- No.
On that one,
we don't get the diamond.
- You got one where we do get it?
- Just this one.
- Let's work on this one.
- Only trouble is we also get caught.
- Can't you refine it?
- I don't see how.
I would've been here sooner,
but when I took Pennsylvania
to the Interborough...
and then Woodhaven
to Queens Boulevard to the bridge...
Con Ed was digging a hole
at the intersection.
Stan, we got troubles of our own.
You think I don't know?
Park Avenue traffic is murder...
and the lights is all set wrong.
So you can forget
about your getaway.
It's like God was tellin' us
to go straight.
I tried everything
I did.
But you see...
the walls of the vault
are 27 inches thick.
And if that's not enough...
Miasmo.
- Did you say "Miasmo"?
- Miasmo.
I'm sorry. Floor?
Twenty-six, please.
- Look at the lights.
- I beg your pardon?
Look at the lights.
See how even they are.
How regular.
What a rhythm they have.
Look at them. They're fascinating.
You feel the soothing
effect of them.
You can feel
the soothing effect relaxing you.
Relaxing deeply.
And as you look at the numbers,
your eyelids are growing heavy.
Very heavy.
I'd like to see about renting
a safe deposit box.
Yes. A safe deposit.
All right.
There we are, sir.
If you'll sign.
- If you'll sign right there, please.
- Okay.
You can do everything
I tell you to do. Is that right?
- Yes.
- That is right.
And you will do everything
I tell you to do. Is that right?
- Yes.
- Yes, that is right.
You are deep asleep.
Soon...
a man is going to come
into your place of employment...
into the bank where you work.
- "Do you understand me?"
- Yes.
When this man says
to you the words...
"Afghanistan banana stand,"
you will do exactly
what he tells you to do.
Do you understand this?
I will do exactly
what he tells me to do.
That is fine.
Very good. You see...
how peaceful you feel
by following my suggestions?
It makes you feel
so good and so secure.
Now, what is it that
the man will say to you?
"Afghanistan banana stand."
Yeah, got it.
Got it. Got it. Okay.
- That was Amusa.
He says he's gotta see us.
