♪♪

Get me police headquarters.

Art? This is Joe.

Are you still interested
in the Kane gang?

Am I?

We hear they're pulling
off the deal of the year

and then splitting for a
while, but we can't locate them.

Why?

I'm at Fifth and Bradley.

I just saw Billy Lee and Ginger

go into an apartment
across the street.

Wait a minute.

Nothing, Art. Just
a van went by.

Now you get over
here as fast as you can.

I'll go upstairs and
try and hold 'em.

Right.

Fingerman's not here yet?

No.

He better get here soon.

He'll be here.

He knows what'll
happen if he don't.

Hey, Ginger.

Where you heading
when that bag's full?

South Side.

South Side of what?

Chicago, man.

There's only one South Side.

And when I'm there...

right to the Parrot Club.

Just at showtime.

And there she'll be,
under a blue spot.

Who?

- Hannah Williams.
- The singer?

And she'll be
wearing a silver dress.

Well, I ain't got nobody waiting
under no blue spot for me.

Hamburg, Germany.
That's where I'm heading.

Wide-open.

Girlie bars.

Mud wrestling.

Trapezes.

Real kinky stuff.

Where'd you learn so much
about Hamburg, Germany?

Sailor told me.

Hey, Cliff, you picked out
where you're heading yet?

No, not yet.

Yeah... there'll be
enough in that bag

to keep going around
the world forever.

Cliff isn't going anywhere.

He wants to stay
right here in town.

You know why?

My daughter's going
to be home from school

and Cliff figures he's going
to make a little time with her.

Isn't that right, Cliff?

Mr. Kane, I promised you I...

And I'll promise you something.

You go anywhere near Susan
and I'll tear your heart out.

What's that?

It's Fingerman.

There's a warning
buzzer on the first step.

This old place used
to be a fancy house.

Fingerman was a
regular customer.

Those steps are going
to be the death of me yet.

To think I used
to dance up them.

Ah, well...

Did you get any
static from Denver?

They tested the stuff...

and then they asked me
when they could get some more.

I told them to contact you.

You handle the contacts.

I'm retiring, George.

I'm going to sit in
the sun out in Arizona

and play shuffleboard.

This old ticker of mine

may not go on ticking
for very long, you know.

Come on, let's see what
we've got in the suitcase.

Who is this?

That's the young kid I
was telling you about.

He made our Denver contact.

We're cutting
him in for a share.

There's enough for everybody.

Well, there it is, gentlemen.

A cool $2 million.

Put this in the bedroom,
will you, please?

Wait! Wait!

We have no reason to be alarmed.

Help him put it
back in the suitcase.

That's only one
man; I'll handle it.

Everybody just relax.

Hello, Fingerman.

You can keep feeding the kitty.

Hold it.

Take it, Billy Lee.

You know him?

I believe the gentleman

is a private detective by
the name of Joe Mannix.

Oh, that's quite a bundle.

How much heroin
does it represent?

I'm in the real estate business.

Really? What did
you sell, San Diego?

I have to deal in large
amounts of currency.

You can ask my
lawyer, Mr. Fingerman.

Sure, Billy Lee
and Ginger, here,

they're your bankers.

Come off it, Kane.

There was a shipment
of heroin hijacked

at the border last month,
a syndicate shipment.

What did you do,

front for the sale, Fingerman?

Well, that's a very
serious charge to make

without any
evidence, Mr. Mannix.

Is it?

I know a man whose
daughter died from an overdose.

Legally, the charge
should be murder.

She was only 16 years old.

Then I don't suppose
she'll get any older, will she?

And neither will
you, Mr. Mannix.

Now you just relax, Mannix.

He got my hand!

All right, you'll
live through it.

It's bad!

We'll fix it later, Billy Lee.

Come on, let's get out of
here. Maybe he tipped the cops.

All right, my office.

Close up that
suitcase and let's go.

Wait a minute, don't
everybody leave at once.

It's gonna look bad.

Look, George, you leave
with Ginger and Billy Lee,

and I'll follow with the kid.

I'll bring the money.

All right, Kane, hold it!

What's the matter?

- My heart.
- What?

Take the money.

Go.

Get the room, Charlie.

You all right, Joe?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Well, we got Kane,
Ginger, and Billy Lee.

How about Fingerman?

We found him at
the top of the stairs,

dead.

A heart attack, I guess.

Oh.

What about the young guy?

What guy?

A, uh, a young guy,
about 25; he's new.

Didn't see him.

The money?

Didn't they split that up?

No, it was all in
Fingerman's suitcase.

Well, we can book
Kane and charge him,

but the D.A.'s gonna
have a problem

making that stick
without the money.

Yeah.

You've got no line
on the kid at all?

No.

Kane's daughter just
got back from college.

Let's go over to his place.

She may know something.

Susan?

Cliff, what are you doing here?

Look, honey, your
dad's in trouble.

Trouble?

The police have arrested him.

What are you talking about?

- Why would they arrest my father?
- Listen, listen.

Susan, I don't have much time.

The cops will be here soon.

You've got to lie.

- About what?
- Me.

Cliff, what are you mixed up in?

What's my father mixed up in?

All right.

You have to know.

When I came here
from Denver to study law,

you told me to
look up your father.

I-I was broke.

You said he had a big
real estate brokerage.

He'd help me.

Well, he... he
helped me, all right,

but what he was selling
wasn't houses or vacant lots.

What was he selling?

Drugs.

- I don't believe it.
- Believe it.

- My father wouldn't.
- Susan, you've got to believe it.

- Cliff, you know my father.
- Listen. Listen to me, Susan!

Tonight the roof fell in.

What will happen
to my father now?

20 years,

if he's convicted.

A-And you?

No, I'm clean.

No record. The
police don't know me.

Susan,

Susan, all you have to
do is steer them away.

You can't help your dad now.

You can't go back to school.

Come away with me.

Where?

Mexico.

Mexico?

Your father won't want
you to see him stand trial.

He loves you too much.

Cliff,

he's my father.

Susan,

remember, you don't know me.

Okay.

My robe.

And, Susan, I love you.

- Miss Kane?
- Yes.

I'm Lieutenant Malcolm, Los
Angeles Police Department.

May we come in?

Of course.

I don't know anyone who looks

like the man you
described, Mr. Mannix.

You'll have to forgive me,
but I, I just can't believe

my father is what you say he is.

I'm sorry, but I
just can't think.

Well, it's too bad
you had to find out

about it this way, Miss Kane.

Good night, Miss Kane.

Good night.

Your father doesn't have

to serve 20 years in prison.

It could only be one day.

I've got the money the
police were talking about,

a lot of money.

Money can fix anything.

What can it fix?

An escape.

There'd never be a trial.

He'd just vanish.

Where?

He said something about Brazil.

Your father's not that old.

He's got a lot of years left.

We owe him a chance to let
him live those out, don't we?

Yes.

Go on, I'm listening.

The proposition's very
simple, Mr. Sartino.

Whatever George Kane used
to pay you for the merchandise,

I'll up it 20%, plus...

Plus what?

Half the cash out
of the Denver deal.

Kane hijacked my shipment.

All that money is mine.

Half, or the money
stays buried, Mr. Sartino.

Buddy.

Kid's ambitious, huh?

Yeah.

This generation... They
can't wait to take over.

And that's what you're
after, right, kid, to take over?

Only with your
protection, Mr. Sartino.

Suppose I were to say yes.

I could beat it out of you,
but suppose I said yes.

What happens if
Kane beats the rap?

He won't beat the rap.

You seem pretty certain.

Kane's got a smart lawyer.

I can fix it so it doesn't
matter how smart his lawyer is.

How?

You can't get to him, not
with the cops sitting on him.

Tomorrow he'll be in
courtroom number six...

Preliminary hearing.

Go on, I'm still listening.

Anything might happen
if you set it up right.

George Kane's finished anyway.

I mean, businesswise he's dead.

He can't operate.

I can, Mr. Sartino.

I'm a law student, I'm clean,

there's nothing in the
computer about me,

and I'll pay you 20%
over the going price.

Okay.

If what you say might
happen happens, phone me.

I'll listen even better then.

Fine.

Thank you, sir.

Want me to tail him?

What?

Do you want me to tail him?

Uh, not yet.

A polite kid.

A knife at your
back, but very polite.

Well, uh, there was a suitcase
full of money and five men.

Three of them are
sitting over there at that...

I'm gonna get him for this.

Will you please take it easy?

I told you, Cliff has it all set
up for us to get out of here.

Now just sit tight.

All arranged?

It's going to be
slaughter in there.

For $15,000 it'd better be.

And the court will now rise.

One of these days I'm
gonna kill you, Mannix.

♪♪

There you go, put that away now.

All right, gentlemen, neaten up.

Let's go to lunch.

Hey, that's Kane.

- And the other guy.
- Billy Lee, go.

- Hit the alarm.
- Come here. -

- Ring the alarm.
- Come on, move, move!

Move, move!

In there!

Move!

Hold it, Mannix.

Hold it right there.

Billy Lee.

All right, Billy Lee,

give me that gun
on the floor, please.

Mannix, why don't you just step
over there with the lieutenant?

Ginger, would you believe that?

There's no firing pin in
this gun, no firing pin at all.

Yeah, it looks as if
Cliff got your daughter

and the money, too.

Take it easy, Art.

Ginger, keep an
eye on that door.

Billy Lee, why
don't you make sure

Mr. Mannix is completely clean?

Madam, would you care
to sit over there, please?

Young man, over
there right beside her.

Up.

Didn't I say something
about killing you?

Don't waste him, Billy Lee.

No,

no, we're not going
to waste anybody yet,

not a single one of them.

Yes.

If the police are
looking for George Kane,

you might put them
through on this extension.

Understand?

Now, ladies and gentlemen,
we can do this the right way

or we can do it the wrong way.

The right way is for
everybody to stay calm

and the wrong way is
for somebody to get...

heroic, eh, slim?

And end up like the
lieutenant over here.

Any questions?

Excuse me.

Kane here. Who's this?

This is Captain Donegan.

There's no way
you can win, Kane.

You know it and I know it.

Now, you come out and lie
face down on the sidewalk.

We'll take it from there.

Oh, the hell you say, Donegan.

I've got five hostages
up here, and two of them

are police people.

We will kill them all

if we don't get what we want,

and what we want
is what we missed

last night... $2
million, an airplane,

and a safe way to get to it.

Maybe I'd better talk to him.

Well, that's very thoughtful
of you, Mr. Mannix.

Hello, Donegan, this is Mannix.

Look, Lieutenant
Malcolm has been shot.

I think you'd
better get a doctor

- up here as fast...
- Hold it.

Scratch that, Donegan.

Malcolm gets his doctor
when we get our airplane.

Well, what do you say?

Is it yes or no?

Mm-hmm.

All right, Donegan, you
go and find someone

who can make the decision.

I'll give you three minutes,

and after that three minutes,

we start tossing bodies out
of here, right into your laps.

I know just the
body to start with.

Now, just a minute,
just a minute.

Ease off there.

Mannix, I'm gonna let you go.

I want you to do me a favor.

I want you to go out,

find a young man by
the name of Cliff Elgin,

and when you do, walk
right up to him and say,

"I've got a
present for you, sir,

from Mr. George
Kane, and here it is."

Then I want you to pump
six shots right into his gut.

Then come back into this
room and tell me all about it.

Then we'll take it from there.

I'm not a hired killer, Kane.

Well, do you really want to
see these innocent bystanders

and the wounded lieutenant
there just end up dead?

Is that it?

Uh, look,

suppose I find Elgin and
bring him back here alive.

Suit yourself.

You've got just as much time

as it takes Donegan
to call me back.

Easy, Art.

There we go.

Would he do it...
Just kill all of us?

I have no intention of being
killed in this horrible room.

Mr. Mannix, I'm Edyth Loring.

Perhaps you know my
husband... Loring Electronics?

I am afraid not, ma'am.

Are you with the police?

I'm a private investigator.

This man you've been
asked to track down...

Is he a criminal?

Yes.

Then I see no reason
you should refuse

what Mr. Kane has
asked you to do.

Oh.

That'll be Donegan.

Yes?

Aw.

Well, Donegan, it turns
out to be your lucky day.

I'm gonna give you
a little bit more time.

You see, I'm sending Mannix out

to run a little errand for me.

Treat him right, will you?

All right, I'll do that.

Well, Mannix, what's it to be?

Elgin or... these
good people here?

Oh, Donegan wants to
see you on your way out.

Where does Elgin live?

You're the private detective.

Suppose you find that out.

I'll be back, Art,

no later than 7:00.

Hang in there.

Mr. Mannix.

How long can the
lieutenant hold on?

In here?

Till morning, maybe.

- How about saying...
- Stay back.

- What do they want?
- Sorry. Later.

How many people up there?

Sorry.

Turn around.

Give us a word.

Hey, come on, later, huh?

What's going on up there?

Kane wants me to
find a kid named Elgin,

then kill him.

Kill him?

Well, where is he?

Kane doesn't know.

I've got to find him.

Okay, find him. But
that's it, Mannix...

You kill him, and you're
up for a murder one charge.

Now, you deliver Elgin to me,
and I'll deal for him with Kane.

Is that understood?

Yeah.

Mr. Mannix, would
you make a statement?

How many people are up there?

People want to
know what's going on.

Dundy, tail him.

Here, take my
car. It's over there.

How many hostages?

Um, you need any fresh towels?

- Yes, please.
- Okay.

I got a hurt hand.

Maybe you can do
something for me.

He should really
be in the hospital.

That will mean
men with a stretcher,

only they won't just be men...

they will be policemen.

Sorry.

No way.

Where's Billy Lee?

Ginger.

Don't.

Billy Lee, don't.

You wouldn't stop
me if she was white.

Thanks.

Look...

being black don't make
no difference to me.

Now, you just behave yourself...

just like the rest.

Dig?

- But it's horrible!
- I know, honey.

Those poor people
and their families!

Nobody's gonna get
killed. Listen to me.

Oh, this was crazy! I
shouldn't have let you try it.

Something went
wrong! I don't know what.

I had the van waiting
in the parking lot.

I was sure it was gonna work.

Suddenly, the whole
place filled with police.

- Well, what are we gonna do?
- Look, look,

I know a man, a Frank Sartino.

He's got influence.

All your father wants
is a chance to get away.

He's trading...

Life for a life.

I spoke to Sartino.

I offered him half
the money I have...

That's close to a
million dollars, Susan...

To get them to give your father
the car and plane he wants.

Well, will they do it?

Honey, who wants a massacre?

When will you know?

Sartino said to
give him an hour.

Now, we can't stay
here; it's too dangerous.

I'll have to call Sartino
from a place I know.

Cliff, what if this
doesn't work?

We'll have done
everything we could.

But... if he says it's fixed,

and they'll trade
for the hostages,

will you go to Mexico with me?

Yes.

We're gonna be happy, Susan.

We're gonna be happy and rich.

You trust me, just trust me.

Are you expecting anyone?

- No.
- Well, whoever it is, get rid of them!

Miss Kane?

- But on TV they said you...
- I was a hostage, yeah.

Your father let
me out on parole.

- What do you want from me?
- Cliff Elgin.

I don't understand.

That's what your father
put me out on the street for...

- To find him.
- Why would my father

send you out to find Cliff?

Today, at the courthouse your
father got caught in a switch.

He thought Cliff Elgin was
setting up a break for him.

Cliff also arranged
to get him a gun,

but the firing pin
was taken out of it.

Your father was
supposed to get shot

trying to escape from
the county courthouse

with a gun that couldn't fire.

You mean... my father
thinks Cliff tried to...

That's right.

Your father thinks
Cliff deliberately set up

a trap to get him killed.

But Cliff wouldn't do that!

He has no reason
to hate my father...

I'd say $2 million is
a pretty fair reason.

Is this a trick?!

Now, look, Miss Kane,

my head's on the line;
this is execution day.

There's a roomful of innocent
people up in that courthouse.

You want to see them get shot?

Well, that's what's gonna happen
unless I can deliver Cliff Elgin

to your father by 7:00 tonight!

I don't know where he is.

Miss Kane... are
you in love with him?

- That's not your business.
- But the hostages are.

I want Cliff Elgin.
Now, where is he?

- Right here, Mannix.
- Cliff!

Susan, get your coat.

Wait for me in the van. Go on.

You go with him, Miss Kane,
and you're gonna murder

a roomful of innocent people.

He says you never
meant to have Dad escape.

You meant to have
him shot by the police.

- He's lying.
- Am I?

He's a private eye, honey,
out to make an easy buck.

You go wait in the van.

I'll take care of Mannix.

You won't hurt
him... promise me.

Of course not.

Go now.

Turn around.

Come on.

I ought to put a bullet in you

for my own protection.

But since it's getaway day...

♪♪

A shamus. Name's Mannix.

Ain't he supposed to be in
the courthouse with Kane?

Yeah. Frank better
have a talk with him.

Let's take him out to the car.

The kid skipped...

with Kane's daughter...

and the money.

Well, I don't know if he had
the money with him or not.

- Buddy?
- Not in the house.

Took it apart.

Two... million... dollars.

What was it, confetti?

He celebrate New Year's with it?

He probably iced it somewhere
until he's ready to move.

Move?

Out of the country.

That must've been some
college that kid went to.

Listen, Mannix...

I got people to account
to for that money.

They'll say:
"Where is it, Frank?"

What do I answer?

A college kid snatched it?

Afraid I can't help you.

Now, uh, if you
don't mind, I'll go.

Go where?

The courtroom, empty-handed?

We both need Elgin.

Work with me.

How?

Give me the kid before
you deliver him to Kane.

Hello.

This is Cliff
Elgin, Mr. Sartino.

What can I do for you?

Are you still interested in that
deal, the one we discussed?

Yeah, I may be.

We have to firm it up.

Where can you be reached?

- I'm at Fingerman's.
- Fine. I'll be in touch.

Mr. Mannix has
had a very hard day.

Take him to his car.

We were talking about
my working with you.

Take him to his car.

Lou.

Take him to his car.

The kid is at Fingerman's.

Get the money, all of it.

I don't care how.

Work on the girl if you
have to, but I want it, today.

Yes, sir.

Well, it's still quiet up there.
The D.A.'s in conference.

I don't know what his decision's
gonna be, trade or move in.

What about the call to Sartino...
Did the phone company trace it?

Yeah, they did. The listing
is under E.P. Fingerman.

Can you stall? Can
you buy me an hour?

I'll try.

Mannix is on his
way to Fingerman's.

Now, this time
don't lose him, huh?

What are you doing?

Buying insurance.

Against what?

Mr. Sartino.

Cliff...

I'll be finished in a minute.

Just a minute.

Cliff, I'm not going
with you to Mexico.

There.

What did you say?

What Mr. Mannix said is true.

I tried not to believe
it, but it is true, isn't it?

What's true?

You did want my father killed.

Sartino isn't going
to call anybody.

It's some sort of a private deal

you've made with him...

about the money.

Why?

Not why. How.

How the game is played
by all the big shots.

You deal yourself in,
deal the other guy out.

And it doesn't matter

that some of the people
in that courthouse may die?

Hey, it's not going to be me
that's going to shoot them.

It's your old man who
put you through college

by making junkies
out of teenagers.

Let's face it, Susan.

There's dirt on every dollar.

You wait in here.

Go on.

Come on in.

Where's Sartino?

He couldn't come.

You got the money, kid?

Oh, not here.

Mr. Sartino's in kind
of a big hurry for it.

Is the deal set?

Don't worry about the deal.

Excuse the artillery.

We just want to make
sure you're clean.

Lou?

Two tickets to Mexico City.

Where's the girl?

I'm going to meet
her at the airport.

Sit down.

Okay, now, listen.

Frank has changed his mind.

He wants all of it.

Oh. Well, that wasn't the deal.

It's the deal now.

Where's Frank's money?

We could put
you in the hospital.

Where's Frank's money?

Cliff!

- Oh.
- Lou.

Oh!

Shut up!

Hold it! Don't!

Hit it and spread 'em!

Don't move. Don't blink.

I'll get a doctor.

No.

The key... around my neck.

The... key... take it.

There's a bus station
down... downtown.

Bus station.

Money is in the locker...

for s... for Susan.

How long has Joe been gone?

Oh, you just lie still.

He'll be back in a minute.

He's still bleeding
very heavily.

I'll get some more towels.

Excuse me.

What is it?

W-Would you mind if I
went over to the window?

What for?

I-I'd like to look for my
wife to show her I'm okay.

Your wife?

Well, if you go
over to that window,

she'll be a widow.

You ever wrestle in mud?

Not since I left the swamp.

Stuck-up broad.

What time is it?

7:00.

We'll give Mannix
another half an hour.

Yeah?

Kane, this is Captain Donegan.

Now listen carefully.

I spoke to the D.A.
There's no deal.

There isn't going to be a plane
or a getaway car or anything.

You surrender, or we move in.

Is that their final decision?

Kane, there's
nothing to be gained

by slaughtering those
people you're holding up there.

Now, I'll give you ten minutes.

All right, Donegan,
now you listen to me,

because I'm only
going to say it once.

You get on the phone,
and you call the mayor,

and you tell him, either we
get that car and that airplane,

or he'll get a corpse
in exactly one minute.

13-Mary 21. Repeat.

All right, Billy Lee.

You've been kind of itchy.

Pick somebody out.

Anybody?

Anybody.

You.

No!

Any objections, Ginger?

It's all the same to me.

Come on now. Don't
make me carry you.

Come on up to the window
where they can see you.

- No.
- Come on.

- No. Please!
- Come on.

Open up that blind.

Come on.

Unlock the window.

That's it. Now raise it up.

- No.
- Come on.

Nice and high.

That's it.

Hold it!

Who is it?

Mannix.

That's it.

Where's Elgin?

He's dead. How
are you feeling, Art?

Never mind the cop!

What about Elgin?
How did you kill him?

I didn't.

What's that supposed to mean?

When I got to
Fingerman's, he was dying.

Sartino had him shot.

Sartino?

Yeah, Elgin had the money.

Sartino sent his
muscle in to get it.

Was there a girl with him?

Your daughter wasn't there.

How do I know
Elgin is really dead?

What's this?

Elgin gave it to me
just before he died.

The money's in a locker
in a bus station downtown.

And this is supposed
to prove that?

Would I have a
key to that locker

if Elgin was still alive?

We'll find out together
then, won't we, Mannix?

- Yeah.
- Oh, he's cute.

He's real cute,
isn't he, Ginger?

He tells us money's
downtown, but he don't tell us

how we gonna get
downtown to get it.

Maybe if I blow his head
off, he won't be so cute.

Eh.

Kane, your daughter's here.

She wants to talk to you.

My kid?

Get her out of here, Donegan!

She's coming up
to see you, Kane!

Susan! No!

Go on home!

It's too late, Kane.

She's already involved.

She's not going to let
you kill those people, Kane!

You keep her down
there, Donegan!

All right, get out!

Are you letting us go?

I assume that's
what "get out" means.

You.

Just hold it right there.

Nobody's going nowhere.

Let 'em go, Ginger!

Key, George.

Oh.

Now the gun.

No, Ginger. Just... let 'em go!

It's finished.

I've done all the time I'm
ever gonna do. The gun!

No.

Looks like we're
gonna have to take it

away from him, Billy Lee.

Sure looks that way, don't it?

Don't be a fool, Billy Lee.

I don't want to kill you.

I'm thinking of
Chicago, Billy Lee.

That girl in the silver dress.

My girl don't have
on no dress at all.

You ready, Billy Lee?

Ready as I'll ever be.

All right, I want a circle

with me and Billy
Lee in the middle.

That's how we're
going out of here.

Cop's first.

Come on.

Okay, well, you two.

Come on.

Oh, don't, please! Don't! Don't.

You're killing me.
Please... Oh, no, lady.

Oh... no, lady.

- Please don't kill me.
- No! No! No!

It isn't necessary.

You hurt my hand.

He's dead, isn't he?

Yes.
