- Come on, Joe.
She got me mad. That's all.
- This is a job, Mike. Cigarette?

Near Sheridan Square, there's a bookstore.
You can't miss it.

Bad things are happening in that house.

He's good man? You trust him?
Absolutely. Come on. We'll catch a cab.
OK, sonny, let's go.

(Woman) Please take your seats.
The performance
will continue in two minutes.

- Excuse me.
Those are our seats.
Excuse me.
Honey.
(Actor) Mind if l start off with an old gag
that always gets a laugh?
- Excuse us, but those are our seats.
- (2nd actor) My stomach can't take it.
- Some other pearl?
- l'm fit to pop!
- How about one that's a scream?
- Go right ahead.
But don't you dare to shift your load
and say you are pooped.
Can l help you?
(2nd actor) Unless you see
that l am sick already.
(Actor) Why do l have to pack
this stuff around...?
- You can't come back here.
- We just want to get out.
- How do you get out?
- Down there.
No! You can't go up there!
Come down here!
(Man) That should just about do it.
Have you seen the captain?
(Police radio)
We're going out to the hospital.
Nothing.
Nobody knows who he is,
where he lived. No lD.
Fingerprints, clothes... Zilch. Nothing.
He didn't exist.
l told you before. Go to that house.
l sent someone.
They never heard of the boy.
They're lying.
Look, Miss Crane,
we ran a check on you.
You're in a little trouble yourself.
You want my advice? Don't look for more.
- He was trying to get away.
- Away from who? Who murdered him?
A fact or two.
- Talk to Ray Salwen.
- Why?
- l saw him with the boy.
- You think you did.
- l know l did.
- lt's just your say-so.
Why should l lie?
Everybody lies.
Go back to that house.
Talk to Salwen.
(Whispers) ln the back.
OK, get the next witness.
OK.
- You can go.
- You got permission from the FBl?
Don't crowd your luck.
We could book you as a material witness.
You know any of these names -
Samuel Hurwitz, David Bistrong,
Jesse Sackadorf?
They mean anything to you?
Kid had 'em in his pocket.
Good night, Miss Crane.
Stay out of trouble.
Up here?
(Creaking)
You don't mind?
l was in the neighbourhood.
Normally l would have called first,
but these are not normal times.
l can close the door if you want to get out.
No?
OK.
Tell me, do you like reading
to that crazy old lady?
lt's a job beneath your capabilities.
You're an intelligent young woman.
You had a promising future.
- What do you want?
- l'd like to help you.
Why?
"Y" ...
is a crooked letter.
My mother used to say that to me
when l asked too many questions.
Emily...
Can l call you Emily?
You don't mind?
The question is what do you want?
l'm concerned for your welfare.
Like you were concerned
