:39:00
Got a Silver Star.
:39:02
Man doesn't fool, does he?
:39:04
I don't know. Let's find out.
:39:09
Okay, Ben.
:39:12
Have a seat.
:39:15
I've been sitting for four days.
:39:19
I guess another day won't matter.
:39:22
When do I go to trial?
:39:24
The guy you hit, Bobby Kopas...
:39:27
dropped the charges.
:39:32
Well...
:39:36
- Why'd he do that?
- Said he thought it over.
:39:38
Wasn't important enough
to waste a lot of time in court.
:39:41
You think that's the reason?
:39:44
Lieutenant, whatever the reason,
it's all right with me...
:39:47
as long as I get back to my place.
:39:49
Maybe you'd better stay here.
:39:52
Now why would I do a dumb thing like that?
:39:55
Because Frank Renda's
still walking around free.
:39:57
Yeah, I know.
:39:58
The eyeball witness who saw Renda
commit murder was a police officer.
:40:02
He was killed when Renda escaped.
:40:04
No witness, no case.
:40:06
You've given Renda a real good reason
to want to kill you.
:40:09
And I can't think of anything
that would stop him from trying.
:40:13
So you want me as bait.
:40:16
You don't let me go unless I hang around
and let him take a whack at me?
:40:20
Something like that.
:40:26
Why is it that I get a feeling from you
that you hope he pulls it off...
:40:31
just so you can nail him for murder.
:40:33
That did enter my mind...
:40:35
but we'll settle for attempted.
:40:39
As I remember it...
:40:41
you're the one
who wanted to make the deal...
:40:43
so you could go home
and pick your melons.
:40:46
All right, go pick them.
