THIS AIRLINE. NOW, WHAT'D DAWSON SAY?
HE SAYS IT'S HELLER IN

MY FATHER'S INFORMATION AGENCY
HAS PAID YOU. IS THIS, UH-
I TOOK THE CASH. JUST LIKE IN THE OLD DAYS.
ONCE A COP, ALWAYS A COP.
WISH I WAS BACK ON THE FORCE SOMETIMES.
SO HOW DID, UH, CASPER JR. GET TO YOU?
OH, HE DIDN'T GET TO US.
HE GOT TO JOE DIAMOND.
¶
YOU DO THAT VERY WELL. I THINK-
NOW YOU GOTTA UNDERSTAND...
THAT JOE DIAMOND WAS A NOTORIOUS COP LOVER.
I MEAN, A REAL COP LOVER.
HE ALWAYS KEPT THIS
NIGHTCLUB FULL OF ROOKIES.
DRINKING BEER, GETTING HIGH.
ANYWAY, THE MEETING WAS SET UP...
BETWEEN DIAMOND AND AN OLD PAL OF HIS.
IT TOOK PLACE IN TUCSON.
HOW YOU BEEN, GAMEBOY?
OH, OLDER AND FATTER. UGLIER. LIKE YOU.
I DON'T KNOW.

WHAT'D YOU EAT?
PASTRAMI ON WHOLE WHEAT WITH CELERY TONIC.
ANY GOOD?
LOUSY. TUCSON.
DON'T EVER ORDER THE WILD
WEST PASTRAMI. SIT DOWN.
IT'S LIKE OLD TIMES.
Y-YOU REMEMBER US IN ATLANTIC CITY?
MAYBE. MAYBE NOT.
BUT I GOT A CONTRACT FOR YOU.
ONE OF THE BIGGEST CONTRACTS
EVER HANDED OUT ANYWHERES.
ME? I-I'M A RESTAURANT MAN.
YOU'RE ALSO A THIEF WHO IS
CRAZY ENOUGH TO STEAL...
FROM MOEY AND SAM AND MORRIS AND UNCLE LOUIE.

YOU ARE FUCKING RIGHT.
I-I CAN PAY BACK?
WHEN YOU HANDLE THIS HIT,
YOU'LL BE PAYING BACK.
A HIT?
WHY ME? THERE MUST BE 200 MECHANICS AROUND
HERE CAN MAKE ANY HIT BETTER THAN ME.
I TOLD 'EM. NO GOOD. THOSE
GUYS AREN'T POLITICAL.
I'M POLITICAL?
YOU WERE IN CUBA. VERY GOOD
FRIENDS WITH A CERTAIN MINISTER.
I THOUGHT ABOUT YOU A LOT, GAMEBOY.
YOU HAVE A COMMIE BACKGROUND

COMMIE? I WAS OUT OF CUBA
TEN YEARS BEFORE CASTRO.
JOE, WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM
ME? YOU WERE IN CUBA.
THIS IS CRAZY. ANYWAYS,
YOUSE GOTTA MAKE THE HIT.
- WHO'S THE CONTRACT? - THERE ARE TWO.
WE'VE ALREADY TAKEN CARE OF THE FIRST ONE.
YOU MAKE THE SECOND HIT. A
KID NAMED WILLIE ARNOLD.
I DON'T KNOW HIM.
A-AND WHO'S THE FIRST?
PRESIDENT KEGAN.
SO DIAMOND WENT BACK TO PHILLY
TO GET AHOLD OF CAPTAIN HELLER.
HELLER WAS MY SUPERIOR OFFICER AT THE TIME.
HE WAS A GREAT FAMILY MAN.
SEVEN DAUGHTERS AND A BIG HOUSE.
DAUGHTERS ARE EXPENSIVE.
¶
AFTER THE ASSIGNATION, DIAMOND'S JOB
WAS TO SHOOT THE PHONY ASSASSIN,
WILLIE ARNOLD, IN THE POLICE STATION.
HELLER WAS PAID TO GET AN IN.
HELLER WAS TERRIFIC AT ORGANIZATION.
OUR LAST MEETING TOOK PLACE
RIGHT HERE AT THIS FARM.
HERE'S TWO SETS OF KEYS
TO THE ENGLESON BUILDING.
GET THEM TO THE TEXAN WHEN HE
ARRIVES TOMORROW. RIGHT, CAPTAIN.
WILLIE ARNOLD SHOULD BE PLANTED IN THE
