The Crooked Way is a 1949 American film noir starring John Payne, Sonny Tufts and Ellen Drew. Directed by Robert Florey and shot by John Alton. The film has a similar plot to another film noir, Somewhere in the Night 1946, (a war hero loses his memory from a combat wound).
Plot: After sustaining a head wound in combat, decorated World War II veteran Eddie Rice (John Payne) is treated at a San Francisco military hospital for a permanent form of amnesia. This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.
Rice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge.
FYI:
The television in Nina's house is a 1949 Philco model 49-1040. The suggested retail price for the set was around $375, which equates to nearly $5,000 in 2024.
Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts) drives a 1947 Cadillac Series 62 convertible; Nina Martin (Ellen Drew) drives a 1949 Ford Custom convertible coupe.
The Letterman Army Hospital, where Dr. Kemble works, was established around 1898 and decommissioned in 1994. In World War II, it was an important hospital for treating sick and wounded soldiers from the Pacific Theater. In 1945 alone, the Hospital treated more than 73,000 patients. The building was demolished in 2002, and Lucasfilm Ltd. LLC now operates the Letterman Digital Arts Center on the site.

00:00:00The End
00:00:30The End
00:01:00This is the Letterman General Hospital at San Francisco, California.
00:01:20For those outside these gates, the war is over, a thing of the past.
00:01:25For those behind these gates, there's a grim, hard, bitter fight still going on.
00:01:31Take one case.
00:01:32The case of Eddie Rice, age 33.
00:01:36Enlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.
00:01:39Older of the Silver Star.
00:01:40But today, a name and date number in a medical file.
00:01:44For five years, a chart on a hospital bed.
00:01:47A victim of amnesia.
00:01:49A mind with a blocked out past.
00:01:52Where were you born, Eddie?
00:01:54Who were your parents?
00:01:56Any brothers?
00:01:57Sisters?
00:01:59Where did you go to school?
00:02:01What's your trade?
00:02:02Profession?
00:02:03Are you rich?
00:02:06Poor?
00:02:07Got a girl?
00:02:09Married?
00:02:10I don't know.
00:02:13I don't know.
00:02:15I can't remember.
00:02:16I just can't remember, Doctor.
00:02:33You had me open.
00:02:34What did you quit for?
00:02:35Did the best we could, Eddie.
00:02:37It'll just have to stay there.
00:02:41Is that final?
00:02:42Unless you want your name on a headstone.
00:02:45That shrapnel's too deep in your brain.
00:02:48Scar tissue has grown all around it.
00:02:51Believe me, we tried.
00:02:52Yeah, I guess you did.
00:02:55Where do I go from here?
00:02:57Eddie, there are two kinds of amnesia.
00:03:00Psychological and organic.
00:03:02The psychological form is temporary.
00:03:05It can be cured through psychotherapy.
00:03:08Yours is organic.
00:03:11It's permanent.
00:03:11That piece of steel in your brain has blocked out your memory.
00:03:16Which doesn't leave me much of a future, does it?
00:03:19Of course it does.
00:03:21Physically, you're normal and healthy.
00:03:23You've received the maximum medical benefits.
00:03:26You've completed training courses that make you fit to hold down a job and face life.
00:03:30With no address, no next of kin, nothing.
00:03:36Enlisted from Los Angeles.
00:03:39Intelligence ran that down for us, remember?
00:03:42Oh, sure, there were a lot of people named Rice there.
00:03:45But not this Eddie Rice.
00:03:47But Army Intelligence didn't mow Los Angeles lawns as a kid, Eddie.
00:03:51Didn't trade at the corner market.
00:03:54Didn't work with people in a factory, in an office.
00:03:56As you might have done.
00:03:59Now, if you went down there and ran into somebody who knew you, just one person.
00:04:06Yes.
00:04:09If I ran into just one person who knew me, one guy,
00:04:15who'd come up to me and say,
00:04:18Eddie.
00:04:19Eddie Rice.
00:04:20How have you been?
00:04:23Where have you been?
00:04:25That's it, Eddie.
00:04:26And then they'd tell me about someone else I used to know.
00:04:31And I'd meet somebody else.
00:04:34And another.
00:04:37And another.
00:04:37And another.
00:04:37And another.
00:04:40And another.
00:05:01And another.
00:05:02And another.
00:05:03Sure, it scares you to go out into a world you don't remember.
00:05:14But you're here now.
00:05:16It'll be a new life.
00:05:19A new start.
00:05:21Find yourself a place to live.
00:05:24Get yourself a job.
00:05:27Get going.
00:05:29Get going, Eddie.
00:05:33Eddie!
00:05:34You know, it's a small world, Eddie.
00:05:37We came down here to pick up a little of one thing, and we run into a little of another.
00:05:41A lot of us thought you were dead.
00:05:43Yes, and those that didn't hoped you were.
00:05:45What are you doing in town?
00:05:49I'm just in from San Francisco.
00:05:51I didn't ask you that.
00:05:52He asked you what you were doing in town.
00:05:55I came here to look up some people.
00:05:58Funny, I had a feeling that was it.
00:06:01Anderson, one of them?
00:06:02Anderson?
00:06:03Maybe.
00:06:06I think you're lying, Eddie.
00:06:07I don't think you were going to look up Anderson at all.
00:06:09Barrett, do you think you were going to look up Anderson?
00:06:11No, Joe.
00:06:13Not Anderson.
00:06:14Tell you what.
00:06:15I've got a car and nothing to do for a while.
00:06:18Let's go see Anderson together.
00:06:20Any objections?
00:06:23No objections.
00:06:25Stick around.
00:06:25Kelly may still show.
00:06:27Let's go.
00:06:28Let's go.
00:06:28Honorable discharge of Edward Rice.
00:06:54What's the gimmick?
00:07:01If you'd put away your blackjacks long enough, maybe I could get it through your heads that
00:07:05I don't know what you're talking about.
00:07:08You got yourself a sense of humor, Eddie.
00:07:10You think you come back here with a dumb look and a silver star?
00:07:13That change is a no good heel?
00:07:15But I'm trying to tell you that...
00:07:17You don't have to tell us anything about yourself.
00:07:19We've got it all down in black and white.
00:07:24Read it, Riccardi.
00:07:25We didn't dream it up.
00:07:28Possession of a weapon with intent to kill.
00:07:32Suspicion of murder.
00:07:36Riccardi.
00:07:38Eddie Riccardi.
00:07:41That's not me.
00:07:42It can't be.
00:07:43It only looks like me.
00:07:45I've got to get out of here.
00:07:47I've got to get out.
00:07:48Five years ago, we hustled you out of town for good.
00:07:51Now what are you here for?
00:07:52You've got to play ball.
00:07:55You need time.
00:07:56You need more time to find out about yourself.
00:07:59Riccardi's just playing dumb, Captain.
00:08:02Put him in the lockup.
00:08:04I'm finding out about these.
00:08:06It's charge papers.
00:08:07If they're phonies, we'll pin a real one on him.
00:08:09Just a minute, Lieutenant.
00:08:12I guess maybe I didn't want the Army to know about Eddie Riccardi.
00:08:17The only friends I have know me as Eddie Rice.
00:08:22I'd like to keep it that way.
00:08:24That's probably the first honest thing you've ever said.
00:08:27Pick up your things.
00:08:32Be Eddie Rice in some other town, but not here.
00:08:35Now we can't hold you, but you step out of line once,
00:08:38and we step on you.
00:08:48Notice anything different about him, Williams?
00:08:49Nothing.
00:08:50Riccardi says in town there's got to be trouble.
00:08:53I don't know.
00:08:54He's got a strange look about him.
00:08:57Send to Washington for a complete report on Edward Rice.
00:09:00That silver star.
00:09:01You really do something to get one.
00:09:03Yeah.
00:09:04Buy it in a pawn shop for two bits.
00:09:05Nina, my sweet, my beautiful, lovely.
00:09:28All right, Nick, let's keep it all business.
00:09:33Who is it this time?
00:09:34Petey, suspicion of robbery.
00:09:37Get him out before they start shifting him around.
00:09:39Petey?
00:09:40Him?
00:09:41He wouldn't steal his own shadow.
00:09:44That was Williams' gag to get him out of the way.
00:09:46I wouldn't know.
00:09:47Bail's a thousand dollars.
00:09:49Inflation.
00:09:50It's the whole trouble these days.
00:09:53Alexander, he unhappy?
00:09:56Nick, keep your mind on your business.
00:09:59Let Vince worry about his, huh?
00:10:00Sure, beautiful, sure.
00:10:02Forget I mentioned it.
00:10:19Take my advice you leave town.
00:10:21I've got things to do.
00:10:23Adios, boy.
00:10:24You're on your own.
00:10:25Kelly never showed.
00:10:32Odd.
00:10:33We'll hear from him.
00:10:44One of the usual fronts?
00:10:47Oh, you have a lot of Jane Doe's, Nick.
00:10:49Use one of them.
00:10:50Of course, there's a big difference between the Florida Oranges and the California Oranges.
00:10:57At least that's what the Chamber of Commerce in Florida says.
00:11:00And the Chamber of Commerce in California says...
00:11:02Orange juice, please.
00:11:04Yes, ma'am.
00:11:08Eddie?
00:11:11Oh?
00:11:11I thought it was you from across the street.
00:11:16Hello.
00:11:18Well, is that the only thing you've got to say?
00:11:21Well, there's a lot more I could say, but...
00:11:24But you.
00:11:27Let's see.
00:11:30Nancy Morgan?
00:11:32Nora Murphy?
00:11:33No, you don't look like Nora Murphy.
00:11:35What'd you come back for, Eddie?
00:11:38A man has a right to come home, hasn't he?
00:11:41My car's across the street.
00:11:45I'll take you there.
00:11:46Sure.
00:11:48Thanks.
00:11:48Thanks.
00:12:11Vince, know your back?
00:12:17Vince?
00:12:20Should he?
00:12:22You ought to know.
00:12:33Thanks for the lift.
00:12:34Coming in?
00:12:40Who said this was the end of the road?
00:12:43Who's complaining?
00:12:45Not me.
00:12:45Checking in?
00:13:14Long?
00:13:15Yes.
00:13:16I don't know yet.
00:13:18Alone?
00:13:19Yes.
00:13:22Edward Rice, San Francisco.
00:13:27304.
00:13:32I'll throw the stuff in the room and be right back.
00:13:37If you say so.
00:13:38If you say so.
00:13:45Hello?
00:13:46Hello.
00:13:47Hello.
00:13:48This is Nina.
00:13:49I want to talk to Vince.
00:13:50He's busy.
00:13:51Not too busy for what I've got to tell him.
00:13:52He's not here.
00:13:53Look, let's not keep where he is a secret.
00:13:54It might upset your whole future.
00:13:55Put me through to him.
00:13:56Put me through to him.
00:13:57Hello?
00:13:58Hello, this is Nina.
00:13:59I want to talk to Vince.
00:14:00He's busy.
00:14:01Not too busy for what I've got to tell him.
00:14:02He's not here.
00:14:03Look, let's not keep where he is a secret.
00:14:04It might upset your whole future.
00:14:05Put me through to him.
00:14:06You talk too much.
00:14:07Another treatment, Kelly?
00:14:09Any...
00:14:11What?
00:14:12I don't know.
00:14:13I don't know.
00:14:14I don't know.
00:14:15I don't know.
00:14:16How do you come to the room?
00:14:18That's what I want to talk to you.
00:14:20Does he have any questions?
00:14:21He's busy.
00:14:22Not too busy for what I've got to tell him.
00:14:25He's not here.
00:14:26Look, let's not keep where he is a secret.
00:14:27It might upset your whole future.
00:14:28Put me through to him.
00:14:29You talk too much.
00:14:31Another treatment, Kelly?
00:14:34Any... any second breaks, Vince?
00:14:41I'm easy to do business with.
00:14:44You talk, you live.
00:14:48All I want to hear is your anger with Joe Williams.
00:14:54Give him a cigarette, Danny. He'll relax.
00:15:04I'm trusting you, Vince.
00:15:07Sure, sure, Kelly.
00:15:10I told you we'd turn you loose.
00:15:12You understand how...
00:15:14how a guy feels when he's been kicked out of the organization?
00:15:19I know.
00:15:21I shouldn't have been a sucker and told Williams about the...
00:15:25about the silver dollar.
00:15:27Forget that.
00:15:28What'd you tell him about this?
00:15:30Nothing.
00:15:31Nothing much, really.
00:15:36Vince.
00:15:37What did you tell him, Kelly?
00:15:39Really, Vince.
00:15:40Nothing important.
00:15:43Just...
00:15:45a little of this and...
00:15:47that about the...
00:15:49about the slot machines and...
00:15:52and the take.
00:15:53But I...
00:15:54I phonied the figures.
00:15:57Honest, I did.
00:15:58These figures aren't phony.
00:16:01Where'd you get him?
00:16:06Snashed him out of your safe, Vince.
00:16:10Williams was waiting for him.
00:16:12They were gonna bundle me out of town.
00:16:14Bring me back to the trial.
00:16:17But I was gonna duck.
00:16:19They never would have found me.
00:16:24What's the truth, Vince?
00:16:31Hello.
00:16:33Oh, hello, Nina.
00:16:35You sure it's him?
00:16:36I was with him.
00:16:37First, I saw him outside police headquarters...
00:16:38talking to Joe Williams.
00:16:39Then I drove him to the Cortez.
00:16:40He checked in under the name of Eddie Rice.
00:16:41Room 304.
00:16:42Thanks.
00:16:43Thanks.
00:16:44Thanks.
00:16:45You're welcome.
00:16:46You are welcome.
00:16:47Tell me.
00:16:48Sorry.
00:16:49It was funny.
00:16:50I wasn't gonna lie.
00:16:51You're welcome.
00:16:52Here.
00:16:54I was with him.
00:16:55First I saw him outside police headquarters...
00:16:57talking to Joe Williams.
00:16:58Then I drove him to the Cortez.
00:17:00He checked in under the name of Eddie Rice.
00:17:02Room 304.
00:17:03You still want to take that trip, Kelly?
00:17:21You don't have to worry about me, Vince.
00:17:24Doc?
00:17:26Big mouth Kelly.
00:17:29You think what he's got may be contagious?
00:17:32Very catchy.
00:17:33What's your opinion, Doc?
00:17:36Very definitely.
00:17:39What can I do?
00:17:42The consultation's in agreement.
00:17:48Kelly?
00:17:49You're dead!
00:17:52Oh, and Kelly, when you get to where you're going,
00:17:56have him give you a nice, even burn.
00:17:58Don't let him just fry you on one side.
00:18:00Don't let him get to where you're going.
00:18:01Don't let him get to where you're going.
00:18:02Don't let him get to where you're going.
00:18:03Don't let him get to where you're going.
00:18:04Don't let him get to where you're going.
00:18:05Don't let him get to where you're going.
00:18:06Don't let him get to where you're going.

00:18:47I'm not going to bother you again, but has there been any sign of the girl yet?
00:18:54Thanks.
00:19:17Don't you believe in knocking on doors?
00:19:31Who are you?
00:19:32What do you want?
00:19:32Don't you believe in it?
00:19:48So that's where you've been holed up, Eddie Rice.
00:19:52No wonder I couldn't get a line on you.
00:19:55Are you back sightseeing, Mr. Rice?
00:20:01Supposed to be a free country?
00:20:04Free town?
00:20:06Open to anyone?
00:20:07Not with me in it.
00:20:09You didn't waste much time picking up with the cops.
00:20:11Why should it worry you about me talking to Williams?
00:20:16You've got me confused, Eddie.
00:20:18Only a sucker would walk back in town after the deal you pulled.
00:20:24Some things a fellow has to find out for himself.
00:20:29Not about you and me.
00:20:31I've been saving this for five years.
00:20:44Everyone in life has his Bible.
00:20:46This is mine.
00:20:49I take it out and read it every day.
00:20:51I read it to remind me of a guy I grew up with.
00:20:54Got shoved around with.
00:20:55We used to take a lot of raps together.
00:21:00Some people would call a guy like that a loyal friend.
00:21:04He was.
00:21:07Until he turned into a dirty stool pigeon.
00:21:10And let me take the rap for him.
00:21:25Eddie Riccardi?
00:21:35My good friend who sold me out to a cop named Joe Williams.
00:21:50Don't mess up his face too much.
00:21:55I ought to kill you, Eddie.
00:21:59But you're not worth taking another rap for.
00:22:01In 24 hours, disappear.
00:22:05Otherwise, I might be tempted to change my mind.
00:22:09Give him some air.
00:22:25And let me take a nap.
00:22:53Bye.
00:22:54Why didn't that girl come back?
00:23:10What did she know about me?
00:23:14Why did she bring me here?
00:23:17Vince.
00:23:19Why didn't Vince kill me?
00:23:21Maybe I deserved it.
00:23:26Maybe Dr. Kemble ought to know.
00:23:30I'd better tell him.
00:23:33I'd better call him.
00:23:36I'd better.
00:23:41Hello.
00:23:43I want to put through a call, person to person.
00:23:46Dr. Kemble.
00:23:47Letterman, General Hospital, San Francisco.
00:23:51K-E-M-B-L-E.
00:23:55Hello, Dr. Kemble.
00:24:14When do you expect him back?
00:24:17Not till tomorrow.
00:24:20Never mind.
00:24:21I'll see him personally.
00:24:51Forget about Union Station.
00:24:52Take me to 7 Braxton Avenue.
00:25:00Forget about Union Station.
00:25:04Take me to 7 Braxton Avenue.
00:25:06Wait for me.
00:25:07Wait for me.
00:25:13Forget about Union Station.
00:25:17Take me to 7 Braxton Avenue.
00:25:30Wait for me.
00:25:43Thanks a lot, Lil, for driving me home.
00:25:56Just a minute.
00:25:58I'll walk to the door with you.
00:26:01It's early, Nina.
00:26:02A little drink for a nightcap won't hurt you.
00:26:05That's what you think.
00:26:07You could make me forget that thousand I dropped tonight, Nina.
00:26:10I can forget a lot of things, Lil.
00:26:12You, for instance.
00:26:14Good night.
00:26:15Just a minute, baby.
00:26:17I'd like a little receipt for that grand.
00:26:22That's better.
00:26:24Ouch!
00:26:26That's your receipt.
00:26:28Good night.
00:26:42Now, Chris.
00:26:54Go ahead.
00:26:56Take a good look.
00:26:58If you came to tell me how Vince welcomed you back, you've said it.
00:27:01So, goodbye.
00:27:02I want to know what you had to do with me and my life.
00:27:09And this.
00:27:16December the 24th, 1943.
00:27:19Oh, that was a lovely Christmas.
00:27:22One I'll never forget.
00:27:30Only one of your presents.
00:27:35Sure, I told Vince Alexander you're back.
00:27:38I work for him.
00:27:39This clipping.
00:27:48Why couldn't you testify at the trial?
00:27:49Oh, no routines.
00:27:50I've heard them all.
00:27:55Listen to me.
00:27:56I'm just out of an army hospital with a piece of steel in my head and no memory to go with it.
00:28:01I'm here to find out about myself and I'm getting answers the hard way.
00:28:05I don't know you, Vince Alexander, or anybody called Eddie Riccardi.
00:28:10All I know is one person.
00:28:11Eddie Rice.
00:28:12Me.
00:28:15You're the last person I can turn to.
00:28:18Please believe me.
00:28:21Help me.
00:28:21That's a very touching speech.
00:28:30You lost your memory.
00:28:33You don't know why I couldn't testify at the trial.
00:28:37You've forgotten how you used me to make sure Vince would go to prison so you'd be set free.
00:28:43Well, if you're back to your old tricks again, I've got sad news for you.
00:28:47I tore up your rain check three years ago.
00:28:49I'm not your wife anymore.

00:32:12Hello, Danny.
00:32:33Come in, come in, Joe.
00:32:36Pull up a chair and rest your feet.
00:32:38I hear you've had a busy day.
00:32:42I figured you would.
00:32:45I was saving you for last.
00:32:48Should I, uh, relax or call in my lawyer?
00:32:52That depends on how nervous you are.
00:32:55I always thought nervous guys bit their nails.
00:32:58Now, let me see.
00:33:00Nick was a little bit hazy about who Jane Doe was.
00:33:03I thought you might be able to tell me.
00:33:06Never heard of the girl.
00:33:08Then there's Petey.
00:33:08And how certain people got to know where and just when to bail them out.
00:33:14Now, nobody knows anything.
00:33:16But we'll find him.
00:33:18We've got all exits out of town plugged.
00:33:23And I got a hunch he'll be real cooperative.
00:33:26You see, um...
00:33:28I don't think he knows anything about this.
00:33:31Kelly.
00:33:32He's gone and gotten himself killed.
00:33:36Just like Kelly.
00:33:38You never know what he'll do next.
00:33:40That goes for a lot of guys.
00:33:42Take you and...
00:33:44then again, take Eddie Riccardi.
00:33:46You boys forgive and forget and back in business again.
00:33:51You and Riccardi got a lot in common.
00:33:54Why don't you ask him?
00:33:55At the moment, you're number one.
00:33:57And there won't be any manslaughter charging out in two years.
00:34:02I put you away this time.
00:34:04It'll be for keeps.
00:34:05You've got all the answers figured out, haven't you?
00:34:11I might have.
00:34:13Sooner than you think.
00:34:15So sorry.
00:34:35Me, I never had a complaint.
00:35:01You call my old boss.
00:35:02He'll tell you my bringing in 500 a night at the gambling tables was a small bagatelle.
00:35:09Oh, Mr. Alexander, I just came in looking for a job and I was telling Miss Martin.
00:35:13Get rid of her.
00:35:15Vince, we need some new talent.
00:35:17Okay, okay.
00:35:18Come back at eight tonight.
00:35:19She'll tell you what to do.
00:35:20Oh, gee, thanks.
00:35:26You know Eddie's still in town?
00:35:30Yes.
00:35:31Been around to see her?
00:35:32Mm-hmm.
00:35:34When?
00:35:36Late last night.
00:35:39Tell you I gave him 24 hours to get out?
00:35:42No.
00:35:45Well, I changed my mind.
00:35:46I want him to stay.
00:35:48I want you to make sure he does stay.
00:35:52My job's to work the tables for you here, Vince.
00:35:55And I don't even mind set-ups like the one with Petey or other deals like that.
00:36:00But Vince, stay out of my personal life.
00:36:07Listen, you.
00:36:09When Eddie dropped you, who picked you up and gave you help?
00:36:12Who gave you your job?
00:36:14Everything you got.
00:36:16Vince Alexander.
00:36:17I won't do it, Vince.
00:36:21Forget Eddie.
00:36:23When I get through with him.
00:36:24But now you're going to meet him.
00:36:27And I want you to make sure he does stay in town.
00:36:30I want him.
00:36:39Bye.
00:36:41Bye.
00:36:42Well, come on.
00:36:54What'll it be?
00:37:04Five years make you forget that easily?
00:37:06I told you.
00:37:07In five years, you can forget a lot of things.
00:37:09Something for the lady.
00:37:10Rob Roy, please.
00:37:12The same.
00:37:17What made you change your mind about seeing me again?
00:37:24You know, finding out I was married to you kind of threw me.
00:37:28It was even something the boys at the hospital used to rib me about.
00:37:32They had me fixed up with a wife and four or five kids.
00:37:36They didn't know how close the gag came to being true.
00:37:41You still don't believe me, do you?
00:37:43Maybe this will convince you it was Eddie Rice that rang your doorbell last night.
00:37:57Call Dr. Kimball at Letterman's Hospital in San Francisco.
00:38:02He'll tell you the whole story.
00:38:09That cigarette case.
00:38:10Oh?
00:38:14Doesn't it mean anything to you?
00:38:19Should it?
00:38:27Suppose I did believe you.
00:38:28Then what?
00:38:31Then I'd try and make you forget that Eddie Riccardi was ever in your life.
00:38:36You think you can do that?
00:38:38Eddie Rice can.
00:38:53Eddie, leave town.
00:38:57Now you're talking like Vince.
00:38:59Maybe I was yesterday.
00:39:00Don't ask me why, but go.
00:39:02Nina, I don't frighten easily.
00:39:04You can take that message back to Vince.
00:39:05Tell him I'm staying.
00:39:06That's what he wants you to do.
00:39:07That's why I'm here, to keep you from leaving.
00:39:10I'd hate to disappoint him.
00:39:12Oh, Eddie, don't be stubborn.
00:39:13I know Vince.
00:39:14He doesn't do anything without a reason.
00:39:18Neither do I.
00:39:22Stay then.
00:39:23Get yourself beaten up again or killed.
00:39:25Do anything you want.
00:39:26Do anything you want to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to
00:39:56Riccardi, very interesting.
00:40:23Scotch over water.
00:40:26Do something, Charlie?
00:40:31Tell Lena Martin. Eddie wants to see her.
00:40:33Eddie who?
00:40:35Just Eddie.
00:40:37Wait here.
00:40:47What'll I need?
00:40:49A thousand might bring you luck.
00:40:51A thousand?
00:40:52Give me a thousand.
00:40:56The character called Eddie's outside.
00:41:04Wants to see you.
00:41:05Eddie here?
00:41:06I'll get rid of him.
00:41:08That's not what Vince had in mind.
00:41:10All right, come on.
00:41:22Six, nine, twelve.
00:41:28Six, nine, twelve.
00:41:33All bets down.
00:41:39It's a nice layout.
00:41:41Vince ought to be able to pick up some fast money.
00:41:43You're crazy to come walking in here.
00:41:46Maybe I'm just hard to convince.
00:41:49My dressing room's back there.
00:41:51I'll be back before the wheel stops turning.
00:41:55Here we go again, folks.
00:42:14Yeah?
00:42:17Okay, thanks.
00:42:18Yes.
00:42:24So she wanted to get rid of them.
00:42:27I wonder if that dame is trying to pull a double cross.
00:42:32Get down to the Golden Horn and pick up Eddie Riccardi.
00:42:34You'll find him with Nina.
00:42:35Just him?
00:42:37Just him.
00:42:39I'll get around to her later.
00:42:45I started to leave.
00:42:46But I kept thinking about everything you'd told me.
00:42:50If I'd have left, I'd have been all the things you said I was.
00:42:53So I'm staying.
00:42:57And I'm taking you out of here.
00:43:00Nina.
00:43:03We could have a decent life together.
00:43:08You've got it all figured out.
00:43:13Well, you're not taking me anywhere.
00:43:16You push me into this life, and I like it.
00:43:19I'm top bait around here, steering nice, fat pigeons to the gambling tables.
00:43:24I'm one of Vince's kind now, and I'm keeping my life and my job just the way they are.
00:43:29No matter what I have to do.
00:43:31Come on.
00:43:42Thanks.
00:43:43Thanks.
00:43:43Thanks.
00:43:43Thanks.
00:43:43Thanks.
00:43:46Now, how about some champagne?
00:43:58Excuse me for a minute, honey.
00:44:00I forgot.
00:44:00I've got to call my wife.
00:44:01Williams, Homicide.
00:44:18Yeah, Barnes.
00:44:21Uh-huh.
00:44:22Yeah.
00:44:23Thanks a lot.
00:44:24What's exciting?
00:44:26I said, what's exciting?
00:44:38Don't you want to wake me up?
00:44:41Barnes casing the golden horn for Vicer-tail.
00:44:43Tells me Riccardo just walked in.
00:44:45Uh-oh.
00:44:46Trouble, maybe?
00:44:46I can think of plenty of reasons why there might be for Eddie Rice.
00:44:52You'll hear from me later.
00:44:52You'll hear from me later.
00:44:53How are you coming with that Kelly report, men?
00:45:15Uh, just finishing it up for you.
00:45:17It's okay.
00:45:17I'll wait.
00:45:21Somebody must have believed in that old gag about an apple a day.
00:45:24Yeah, but they didn't know it would pin a murder on them.
00:45:26Hmm.
00:45:27Quite an appetite.
00:45:29Psychological.
00:45:29Creates a false hunger.
00:45:35Well, here you are, Joe.
00:45:37I can go home now.
00:45:38Thanks a lot, Ben.
00:45:39See you tomorrow.
00:45:40Okay, see you tomorrow.
00:45:56Yeah?
00:45:57I'm interested in Eddie Riccardi.
00:45:58Not in what's going on in there.
00:46:00We don't know from Riccardi.
00:46:01I do.
00:46:02Open up.
00:46:03Place your bet, folks.
00:46:04Place your bet.
00:46:05Buy a low bet.
00:46:06Harder easy.
00:46:07Put your bet down.
00:46:08No betting after the win.
00:46:09Buy a low bet gets your bets down.
00:46:13Buy a low, hard, or even.
00:46:29Yes?
00:46:30Miss Martin?
00:46:31Williams, homicide.
00:46:33May I come in, please?
00:46:34Come in.
00:46:35That he was just picked up by Daddy.
00:46:40Where do you take him?
00:46:43You'll hear from me later.
00:46:44You know, Williams, I'm not used to cops with insomnia.
00:47:11What's on your mind?
00:47:13It won't take long.
00:47:15Danny picked up Eddie Riccardi.
00:47:17Where are they?
00:47:20You're in an awful rut.
00:47:22Always asking questions.
00:47:24All right.
00:47:25Let's start over.
00:47:27Eddie was at the Golden Horn with Nina Martin.
00:47:30Suddenly, he wasn't there anymore.
00:47:33So?
00:47:33I don't mind waiting.
00:47:37Oh, uh, while we kill a little time, this might interest you.
00:47:44And after we pick up Riccardi, we're going down to police headquarters.
00:48:00You're going to have a manicure on me.
00:48:04You know, you're going to look awful silly when I get through with you.
00:48:07If I'm wrong, I'll apologize.
00:48:15Say hello.
00:48:17Nothing more.
00:48:20Hello.
00:48:22Vince, we're at the shop.
00:48:24Do we stay or bring Riccardi up there?
00:48:27Tell him you'll be down.
00:48:28Come on.
00:48:37Okay, Coke.
00:48:50Bring him up here.
00:48:51Come on.
00:49:21What do you want now?
00:49:39Just when he was coming up in the department.
00:49:51What do you want now?
00:50:21What do you want now?
00:50:51What do you want now?
00:51:21Control 4 to 94. Go ahead.
00:51:24Car 94 to Control 4.
00:51:26Notify the Homicide Bureau.
00:51:28We have found the body of Lieutenant Williams in his car at Sepulveda and Sunset.
00:51:32What do you want now?
00:51:38What do you want now?
00:51:43What do you want now?
00:51:45What do you want now?
00:51:51What do you want now?
00:51:53What do you want now?
00:52:01What do you want now?
00:52:06Give me a lift, son.
00:52:22Thanks.
00:52:23I had a little accident back up off the side road.
00:52:25I have to go to town and get a tow car.
00:52:27Anybody killed?
00:52:29No.
00:52:30No luck at all tonight.
00:52:32Hop in.
00:52:33I bet you thought I wouldn't stop and pick you up, didn't you?
00:52:46I didn't know.
00:52:47I didn't know.
00:52:48It's late.
00:52:49See?
00:52:50That's where I fooled you.
00:52:51That's where I fooled you.
00:52:52Cut the orders.
00:52:53Pick up anybody, anytime.
00:52:55Greenacres, morticians, policy.
00:52:57If today, may be a customer tomorrow.
00:53:00Pays off, too.
00:53:02Most people remember the nice things you do for them while they're living.
00:53:05We sure don't get any complaints about our service from them after they're dead.
00:53:09Uh, family, that is.
00:53:13That accident hurt you any?
00:53:17Got a match?
00:53:18Sure do.
00:53:26Police, ambulance, and everything.
00:53:28I wonder if I'm losing any customers.
00:53:32You finished with Joe's stuff yet?
00:53:46Still working on it.
00:53:50It's too bad.
00:53:52Joe's wife sure liked him in that suit, too.
00:54:02You too.
00:54:23Any line on Riccardi yet?
00:54:24Nothing, Captain.
00:54:25Keep trying.
00:54:26He's the last one who might have seen Joe.
00:54:27Okay.
00:54:29Eddie Riccardi.
00:54:33Guess Williams was right after all.
00:54:36Riccardi or Rice.
00:54:38A silver star and a dumb look doesn't change a no-good heel.
00:54:43Attention all units.
00:54:44Attention all units.
00:54:46Be on the lookout for the following described suspect.
00:54:49Wanted for murder.
00:54:50Eddie Riccardi, alias Eddie Rice.
00:54:53White, male, American.
00:54:56One, age 33.
00:54:58Foot two.
00:55:00190 pounds.
00:55:02Dark brown.
00:55:04You phone the cops and do them a favor.
00:55:06Where to find a dead cop and the guy that did it.
00:55:09And what happens?
00:55:17The first stop is Nina Martin's.
00:55:19I want Eddie before the cops get her.
00:55:22Then they can have him for a present.
00:55:23And alive.
00:55:26And alive.
00:55:44Eddie.
00:55:45Shut up.
00:55:46Get those lights out.
00:55:49Eddie, what happened?
00:55:50You certainly did a neat job of tying me into a murder.
00:55:57Joe Williams was killed tonight.
00:55:59You.
00:56:00I don't know.
00:56:01The last thing I remember was being slugged over the head at Vince Alexander's.
00:56:04I know you think that.
00:56:05I haven't got time to think.
00:56:07All I want is a few bucks, your car, and you in my sight till I get out of here.
00:56:11Eddie, you've got to believe me.
00:56:12Ha.
00:56:13Believe you?
00:56:15Like you believed me.
00:56:17Give me the keys.
00:56:24Eddie, this is why I turned on you tonight, to get you away from Vince.
00:56:28The keys are in the car.
00:56:29You go.
00:56:29I'll try to stall them all.
00:56:31And get a bullet in the back of my head?
00:56:33Oh, Eddie, you've got to trust me.
00:56:35It's your only chance.
00:56:36Quick.
00:56:41The garage.
00:56:41The garage.
00:56:41The garage.
00:57:06The garage.
00:57:07The garage.
00:57:08The garage.
00:57:09The garage.
00:57:10The garage.
00:57:11The garage.
00:57:12The garage.
00:57:13The garage.
00:57:14The garage.
00:57:15The garage.
00:57:16The garage.
00:57:17The garage.
00:57:18The garage.
00:57:19The garage.
00:57:20The garage.
00:57:21The garage.
00:57:22The garage.
00:57:23The garage.
00:57:24The garage.
00:57:25The garage.
00:57:26The garage.
00:57:27The garage.
00:57:28The garage.
00:57:29The garage.
00:57:30The garage.
00:57:31The garage.
00:57:32The garage.
00:57:33The garage.
00:57:34The garage.
00:57:35This is where you get out.
00:57:44Go to the police, Eddie, before it's too late.
00:57:46With my fingerprints all over the gun and all over William's car,
00:57:49I wouldn't last long enough to walk to the nearest police station.
00:57:52If I did, what could I tell them?
00:57:55Now, out.
00:57:56You want me to go home and wait for Vince to come back again?
00:57:59That's something Eddie Riccardo would tell me to do.
00:58:02Not Eddie Rice.
00:58:05All right.
00:58:25Stop.
00:58:30Keep your lights off and the motor running.
00:58:35Keep your light on, Mike.
00:59:05Now you've got a gun. What next?
00:59:22I didn't ask for any killings. I saw him in the middle.
00:59:25But I'm not going to be a clay pigeon for Vince Alexander.
00:59:29He can't prove anything dead.
00:59:31That would make Vince very happy. Something I wouldn't want to let happen.
00:59:37Is there any place we could go? Someone you could trust to put us up for the night?
00:59:40I need time.
00:59:44Maybe there is. It's a long chance.
00:59:51You don't think you're going to get away with this, do you?
00:59:55We're staying here tomorrow.
01:00:01Stay away from that phone.
01:00:07If it rings, let it keep ringing.
01:00:09Get rid of anybody who comes to the door.
01:00:11I'll be right behind you in case you give the wrong answers.
01:00:19What about the girl's place?
01:00:21There and gone.
01:00:22Get a teletype out on her car immediately.
01:00:24Have it rebroadcast every half hour.
01:00:26I want roadblocks at all these points.
01:00:35I want the airport, railroad station, all bus terminals put under 24-hour surveillance.
01:00:40I want every hotel and flophouse notified.
01:00:42They're in this town somewhere and they're not getting out.
01:00:45One other thing.
01:00:47We picked up Riccardi's fingerprints in that gun shop.
01:00:50He's got a gun now.
01:00:52Don't give him a chance to use it.
01:00:53All right, start moving.
01:00:56The police tightened his dragnet about the city today.
01:00:59Riccardi escaped just as the police were ready to close in on him
01:01:02after they received an anonymous phone call
01:01:04which led them to discover the murdered body of one of the men today.
01:01:08Every available man...
01:01:11We'll wait till it's dark and get out of here.
01:01:15You couldn't arrange to drop dead before then.
01:01:18Hazel, you've got to believe us.
01:01:20Eddie didn't do it.
01:01:21He should still drop dead.
01:01:23Twice.
01:01:25Twice.
01:01:25Twice.
01:01:53Ohio.
01:01:55The highlight team will becas� onต
01:02:04刻 on code.
01:02:06The dilian piece is worse.
01:02:07Oh, for example.
01:02:08I finally hit it up.
01:02:09This другой play was one place.
01:02:11I've never had been Scott Angelica and I was a lost수를 living.
01:02:13But here is a good time in the center of business.
01:02:15I came in the center of new conditions of Food un Economic Accent
01:02:19and I was a guy who was running on to theUCK.
01:02:21Coke!
01:02:51Give me a couple of clean towels.
01:03:08It's pretty bad.
01:03:15I'll have you out of here in a minute.
01:03:17We'll find the doctor.
01:03:18Go to the police.
01:03:19And he'll go to the police.
01:03:25Your car in the garage?
01:03:26Yes.
01:03:27Where are your keys?
01:03:29In my purse.
01:03:30Take care of her.
01:03:49Thanks.
01:03:56I'll have the doctor come right in the moment he returns.
01:03:58Give me a cigarette.
01:04:12It might be a secret.
01:04:37You're far away.
01:04:40How far?
01:04:44Five years.
01:04:46A lifetime.
01:04:49Beyond that, a blank.
01:04:52Me too, Eddie.
01:04:54Only it's been a different kind of a blank.
01:04:57It's being pushed back to Eddie Riccardi.
01:05:00This.
01:05:02The whole past that keeps me from being like other people.
01:05:06Now all that's left is wondering what it would be like if there'd only been an Eddie Rice.
01:05:14If I'd have just met you for the first time.
01:05:19Eddie Rice can have that.
01:05:20Oh, you're good, Eddie.
01:05:28You're good.
01:05:31You've taken away the hate in me.
01:05:34Destroyed it.
01:05:38You're good, Eddie.
01:05:40You're good.
01:05:45When a baby wants to be born, ours don't matter.
01:05:47Seven pounds, seven ounces. A boy.
01:05:50Doctor, her shoulder.
01:05:51I can't treat gun wounds.
01:06:09She'll have to go to the police emergency hospital.
01:06:12I don't think so.
01:06:13I'm sorry.
01:06:15I've got to report this to the police.
01:06:17Doctor.
01:06:19That report to the police.
01:06:22It'll wait.
01:06:24If you want to pull that trigger, go ahead.
01:06:28Police headquarters, please.
01:06:32Put that gun away. I said I was going to call the police.
01:06:35Police headquarters.
01:06:37This is Dr. Stacy.
01:06:3993 Chestnut Street.
01:06:40Send an ambulance and a squad car.
01:06:48How bad is it?
01:06:54She'll be all right.
01:06:58You'd better leave.
01:07:07Eddie, I'm scared.
01:07:08I'm scared. I'm scared.
01:07:09Take it easy. You'll be all right.
01:07:11Not for me. For you.
01:07:13Listen.
01:07:14I'm leaving you for a little while.
01:07:16I've got an idea it might work.
01:07:18Something very important.
01:07:21You knew all about me.
01:07:23The people I used to know. The places I went.
01:07:25Think for me. Go back five years.
01:07:28Who was there? Just one person.
01:07:30Give me the answers. Quick.
01:07:31What you say is my only chance. The only chance I've got.
01:07:35The only one left is Petey.
01:07:37Can't be trusted with Vincent.
01:07:39Where will I find him?
01:07:41Not him. He's...
01:07:43Tell me.
01:07:45Two, three places on Main Street.
01:07:47Fourth and Main.
01:07:49And after Nina ran in front of him, Coke never had a chance.
01:07:52That lady sure didn't miss.
01:07:54Coke took three. Went right through us. Breakfast, lunch and supper.
01:07:55Anybody come around? Ask any questions?
01:07:58None I couldn't answer, Vince.
01:08:00Get back there and keep him company.
01:08:02But the police.
01:08:03That's exactly what I want.
01:08:05Tell them how Riccardi broke into your apartment.
01:08:07Found Coke there. Pulled his gun and fired.
01:08:09Now do what I told you. Just that.
01:08:11All right, Vince.
01:08:12Take her back.
01:08:18Eddie's gonna find a doctor somewhere.
01:08:20And if he does where I think, he'll dump the girl.
01:08:23Start looking for a hideaway.
01:08:27Get going.
01:08:28Spread the news I got a personal interest in Eddie Riccardi.
01:08:31I don't want anything to happen to him.
01:08:33Until I get there.
01:08:35Unless the cops get him first.
01:08:38You feel with him, Doc?
01:08:39Yep.
01:08:40He was a fine specimen.
01:08:42Would have had a long life if this hadn't happened.
01:08:44I'll send you my report in the morning.
01:08:50I'm sure you don't mind coming downtown, Miss Downs.
01:08:52Well, I...
01:08:53If...
01:08:54I thought not.
01:08:57What'd you find?
01:08:58It was them all right.
01:08:59Riccardi left the doctor's office about 30 minutes ago.
01:09:02Notified communications?
01:09:03They're blanketing the whole area.
01:09:04The girl?
01:09:06County jail hospital.
01:09:07Still out.
01:09:08Whether she's playing it safe or just not talking.
01:09:11Keep Mullen there.
01:09:12The minute she comes out, I want to know.
01:09:13Any ideas?
01:09:14Lots.
01:09:15We need Riccardi to explain some of them.
01:09:17If he lives that long.
01:09:23Hello.
01:09:24I'm looking for Petey.
01:09:25Have you seen him?
01:09:29You know where to find him?
01:09:30Nina said three or four places.
01:09:45I must have hit 20.
01:09:48And every answer the same.
01:09:50No.
01:09:51No.
01:09:53A shake of the head.
01:09:54A frightened face.
01:09:57They knew where I could find what I was looking for.
01:09:59But they wouldn't talk.
01:10:01They were scared.
01:10:02They were scared.
01:10:32They were scared.
01:10:58But Vince.
01:10:59I appreciate the fact that at least I called you.
01:11:02I let him stay, it's another rap.
01:11:04Another rap, I get life.
01:11:06You've got to appreciate that.
01:11:10And I'd appreciate it if you'd tell me where to find Petey.
01:11:14Right now.
01:11:16Sure, Eddie.
01:11:17Sure.
01:11:26Ocean Boulevard, 25th.
01:11:29See you, Eddie.
01:11:30Let's go.
01:11:31Going to the station she found.

01:21:24We can make a break.
01:21:26Cover for each other.
01:21:29I got a place.
01:21:32You and me, Eddie.
01:21:36We'll start up again.
01:21:37Just like old times.
01:21:45I got money, Eddie.
01:21:48Big money.
01:21:49Samson, Samson, Samson, Samson.
01:21:59Beattie, come back.
01:22:03Samson, Samson, Beattie.
01:22:06Samson.
01:22:07I got a place.
01:22:28I got a place.
01:22:31I got a place.
01:23:03Riccardi, Alexander, we'll give you three minutes to come out.
01:23:11We're going to start counting.
01:23:13At the end of three minutes, if you're not out, we're coming to get you.
01:23:18This is your last chance, Eddie.
01:23:21There's just you and me left now.
01:23:24No deal, Vince.
01:23:26I know you killed Joe Williams.
01:23:29Okay.
01:23:31No deals.
01:23:33No deal.
01:23:34No deal.
01:23:35No deal.
01:23:36No deal.
01:25:08We want you, Riccardi.
01:25:18Alive, Alexander.
01:25:20If you're in there not wounded, bring Riccardi out.
01:25:24You, Riccardi, if you're alone, come out with your hands in the air.
01:25:28Here's where you and I part company.
01:25:34You're gonna get paid off and fall.
01:25:36Thanks for bringing him out, Vince.
01:26:01Now drop your gun.
01:26:03I said drop your gun, Vince.
01:26:07And you'll take what I got first, Anderson.
01:26:12All police officers, hold your fire.
01:26:14Don't be crazy, Alexander.
01:26:18There have been enough people killed.
01:26:20Give yourself up.
01:26:21No bargains, Anderson.
01:26:23You want Riccardi alive?
01:26:25I want out.
01:26:26What guarantee have I got that you won't kill Riccardi?
01:26:30You don't!
01:26:31Be sensible, Alexander.
01:26:33If we let you out now, we'll get you later.
01:26:36You'll be dead before morning.
01:26:39You've got 30 seconds to make up your mind, Anderson.
01:26:41I go, or Riccardi gets it in the back.
01:26:49Stay down, Eddie.
01:26:50Don't move.
01:26:51Let's go, sir.
01:27:10Hey!
01:27:13Hey!
01:27:14Is he dead?
01:27:28He will be if we don't get him to a hospital.
01:27:37That taxi driver must have really gotten to you in a hurry.
01:27:41He did, asking for a thousand dollars reward.
01:27:44I know all the questions you want to ask.
01:27:47I called Dr. Kimball from San Francisco.
01:27:49We knew Vince killed Joe Williams.
01:27:51We found his blood on Joe's clothing.
01:27:54It matched up with our lab files.
01:27:56Yours didn't.
01:27:57And Hazel told us the truth about Coke.
01:28:00I'll just get well.
01:28:02We'll finish our business later.
01:28:05Nina, she's fine.
01:28:08In the waiting room.
01:28:14You shouldn't kiss a guy like that when he's sick in bed.
01:28:31Oh, I've been waiting outside all the time.
01:28:37They wouldn't tell me anything.
01:28:38I was afraid.
01:28:41It's all right.
01:28:44We'll go away.
01:28:46We'll find that crazy world of yours.
01:28:50Sure.
01:28:51Sure.
01:28:51There's only one thing.
01:28:59You'll always be Eddie Rice.
01:29:04For the rest of my life.
01:29:06I have the doc's word for it.
01:29:10Come here.
01:29:11I have the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word for the doc's word
