Hear ye, hear ye!

Department One, Superior Court
is now in session

Judge George Spaulding presiding.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury

it is my duty to prosecute
and your duty to convict

or acquit,
these seven defendants.

These seven people are on trial
either for murder

or being accomplices to the act of murder.

What they did, they did gladly
and with full understanding.

They are evil, all of them.

Seven evil people.

Look at them carefully,
because they are your enemies

and the enemies of every decent citizen.

They're at war with you
and always have been

and always will be.

Should they escape this time,
the next victim may be you

or you, or you.

Study their faces.

All their faces.

First, this one...
Holiday Carlton.

Murderess.

Charles Weber.

John Reece.

They were policemen,
ladies and gentlemen.

Guardians of the law.

Accomplices to the act of murder.

Keith Mandon,
formerly an attorney.

Now the shame of his profession.

Accomplice to the act of murder.

Peter Cobbett, formerly a guard
at the state penal farm

another supposed guardian of the law.

Accomplice to the act of murder.

Victor Mason, habitual criminal.

Clothing his crimes
in a coat of respectability.

Accomplice to the act of murder.

Joseph Raynor...

murderer.

Well, there they are,
ladies and gentlemen.

All seven of them.

And only seven.

There should be eight

and believe me,
I'm sorry that there are not.

But unfortunately the eighth

the man who motivated

this whole vicious and sinister crew

the most evil man of all is not present.

And yet he is here in spirit

as you will find
when the state rests its case.

The first witness for the state will be

Peter Cobbett.

Peter Cobbett,
take the stand.

Raise your right hand.

Do you solemnly swear to tell
the truth, the whole truth

and nothing but the truth?

I do.

Take the stand.

Your name is Peter Cobbett?

Yes, sir.

You were formerly a guard
at the state penal farm?

Yes.

Would you be willing to make a statement

Yes, sir.

Proceed.

Well, sir, I guess this all began

one morning about four months ago.

Real early in the morning.

At about 5:00.

All right, kiddies, all right,
let's go.

Why, this is going to be
a beautiful morning.

And the little old sun

is going to be shining down
on your heads all day long.

And the birdies are going
to be chirping to you

Ain't that cute?

And all you boys are going out

just like when you was kids again.

Come on.
Rise and shine!

Well, you know,
it ain't everybody

can be lucky enough
to be out playing in that sun

on a beautiful day like this.

Yeah, that's the way.

Everybody's going

to be crazy to get out in that beautiful sun

and take a handful of them little old seeds

and plant them in that little old earth.

Oh, we'll make farmers
out of you if it kills you.

I saw in the paper the other day

where some fella said
there's too many stick-up men

and not enough farmers.

Don't worry about that.

We'll take care of that for you.

Now just put on your little shoesies

and wash your little...

handsies and facies and...

Get outta here!

Come on, you guys, get up!

Come on.
Start moving.

Come on.
Shake it up, you.

It's getting late.

It's only about 7:00. Relax.

The bus is going to be by here pretty soon.

All right.

Anything to keep you quiet.

Hey, what's the matter with you,
you hungry?

You eating dirt?

Why, a man would think
you didn't like the food

I've got a fever...

I'm burning up.

I need a drink of water.

Falling out,
second squad!

Okay.

Come on, come on.

We'll get you a nice little drink.

Over here.

What's the matter with him?

He's got a fever.

He's burning up.

Go ahead.
Go on down

No, you don't get prisoners like we got

They were good and tough in those days.

I might as well be a guard
in a female seminary

for all the work you get done.

Chewin' tobacco?

Sure, help yourself.

Thanks.

Well, they're not very tough today.

Come on, come on,
you. Hurry up.

Thanks.

All right, get moving now.

I thought sure that bus was going to come

Well, it didn't.

When things get done by an
expert, they get done right.

Listen-

That's the bus, all right.

If we get another horn in five seconds

we'll be in business.

That's it.

All set?

You think there'll be any shooting?

It won't matter if you zigzag.

Hey, hey...

What do you guys think this is,
an Easter egg hunt?

Now stop jawing and scatter out.

Just as you say, Caesar.

Now move!

Hey... come on!

I can't!

Come on!

I'm sorry about what happened.

Oh, my brother...

...my only brother and they killed him!

You mean he's cold?

Right through the head.

That's too bad.

Yeah, one of the guards got lucky.

If he hadn't stopped,
it wouldn't have happened.

Shut up, shut up!

How many guards did you get?

I didn't count.

You want to go back?

No, thanks.

Just say the word
and we'll do it all over again.

There's some clothes up
here in the front seat.

You better change.

Not those

Try the other ones.

Oh, fancy.

Better than what you're wearing.

My name's Raynor,
Joe Raynor.

Just call me Jinx.

I'm Ralph Carter.

Pleased to meet you.

Even the air out here smells better.

It's great to be alive.

Say, Jinx, you better stop
at some quiet gas station

where we can clean up.

Right on time.

So they got your brother.

Oh, shut up.

It was on the radio.

Who's this?

His name's Mason.

We got the stuff from him.

What else did it say on the radio?

The usual.

Only you're better-looking than they said.

You ought to see me dressed up.

I'll see you, Carter.

I got an interest in you.

I got to get back to the shop.

Come on, Holiday.

All right.

I'll be seeing you again,
won't I?

There's no need for you to see me again.

Say, what's this shop
Jinx was talking about?

Radio shop.

He fixes radios.

Oh. He's in the wrong business

the way he can drive a car.

You made a crack a minute ago I didn't get.

You said you had an interest in me.

That's right.

I did this job on credit.

Holiday owes me $1,000.

But Holiday hasn't got any money.

What makes you think I have?

Oh, I know you haven't any either.

Not right now, anyway.

But there's a difference
between you and Holiday.

She's honest.

You're not.

And you have certain

shall we say,
ways of getting money.

Am I right?

Yeah, sure.

But do you mind

if I don't think about money for a half hour?

All I want right now is milk.

I haven't had any in two years.

Take your time.

There's no rush about payment.

That's nice.

There's a supermarket in the next block.

Hartford's the name.

Hartford, uh-huh.

Oh, uh, that stuff of mine in the back seat...

you better get rid of it.

How do you want it handled?

I'd like the police to find it across

They will.

Good.

Uh, Mason...

where does Holiday live?

Marakeesh Apartments,
101.

Marakeesh, 101.

She goes by the name of Caldwell.

Caldwell.

Well, I'm glad you got here.

So am I.

My truck broke down

and put me behind schedule a half an hour.

Morning, Joe.

Good morning, Mr. Hartford.

Sorry I'm late.

That's okay,
we're both late today.

What time do you usually get here, Joe?

Oh, about 9:30

if the truck don't break down.

What do you want?

Lots of things.

Well, you're not going to find them here.

You'd be surprised what a man can find.

Food, for instance.

Will you please leave?

Leave?

Just got here.

Seen the papers?

Yeah, I've seen the papers.

And I don't want to talk about it.

No, neither do I.

As far as I'm concerned,
it's all past and done with.

Yourbrother wasn't killed.

No, that's right,
that's right.

Oh, uh, speaking of brothers

where was he going to live?

I took a room for him here,
across the hall.

Good.

What do you mean, 'good'?

Well, since he won't be using it, I will.

Oh, incidentally, uh...

uh, Mason tells me you're an
honest-to-goodness nice girl.

I never did anything wrong before today.

Well, it takes only once, you know.

As it stands,
the police would love

to get their hands on
whoever shot that guard.

And now, would one fugitive from justice

care to fix another fugitive from justice...

a sandwich?

Will you go if I do?

Fix it, and we'll see.

Tell me, where can I get in touch with Jinx?

Shop's in the phone book.

Ace Radio Repair. Why?

We got to do a little business.

Get you out of hock.

No, thanks.

I wouldn't like the way you'd get the money.

I'll pay it off myself when I can.

Oh, it won't work out that way.

You see,
you owe Mason something;

I owe you something.

After all, you did get me off that prison farm

and I like to pay my debts, too.

You don't owe me anything.

If I could have one wish
in my life come true

I'd wish today had never happened.

The fact remains...

ithashappened.

You, uh... you assisted in a prison break

which makes you
just as much of a criminal

as the people you helped.

Now, you can keep
that holier-than-thou attitude

as long as you like

but, uh, right now I would say

there must be, oh,
13,000 policemen in this state

who would love to put you away
for a long, long time.

Now, I'd bear that in mind if I were you...

and act accordingly.

Now, what do you make of this stuff

they're saying about your brother?

That he was a mad-dog killer?

It's a lie!

He wasn't!

They never are.

He was railroaded.

They framed him.

I suppose your brother never
did anything wrong in his life.

He was wild, yes

and he did a lot of silly things

but he never killed anybody.

Well, maybe you're right.

After all,
he quit cold on me.

He wouldn't have been hit
if he hadn't stopped.

Yeah, maybe hewasinnocent.

He certainly didn't act like a killer.

Of course,
he was innocent!

Nobody knew him any better than I did.

Why do you think I tried to help

I've never done anything
wrong like that before

I'll tell you why.

Because he was going crazy up there.

He knew he'd been framed

and he was just sitting
there, brooding about it

month after month.

If it had gone on much longer

he'd have ended up in an insane asylum.

I couldn't stand to look into his face

when I'd go up there and visit him.

Don't you see?

I had to try and help him break out

even if it meant that I...

Okay, all right,
all right, all right.

He was innocent.

Innocent as a newborn babe.

Go ahead, be jealous.

Be jealous because you're a...

a criminal,
and he wasn't!

Jealous?

Jealous of that popcorn thief?

That yellow pup?

No! No! No!

Oh, Ralph, please, please!

Oh, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry...

...but he's all I had!

And I haven't got anybody.

I just haven't got anybody.

I'm so alone.

I'm so alone...

so alone...

You're not alone, baby.

You're not alone at all.

Not at all.

Everything's fine outside.

$3,000, $3,500, four

five, six.

Get me another checkbook,
Miss Staines.

Miss Staines is going to be busy.

Stay away from the switchboard,

Now, clasp your hands

behind the back of your neck.

Look...

we've got a good police force in this town.

They'll get you before you even
have a chance to spend it.

Relax, Mr. Hartford.

It's only money.

Now, are you going to clasp your hands

behind the back of your neck

or do I have to liquidate you?

You think you're pretty cute,
don't you?

Nowyou'recute.

She's all taped up.

What about him?

Won't need it.

$6,142, not counting the checks.

Where'd you get it?

From a recently deceased maiden aunt.

Hartford's.

Hartford's!

Right down the street.

Why didn't you tell me
where you were going?

Oh, I'm awfully sorry,
old man.

I would've been delighted to tell you

except for one little thing:

it was none of your business.

Why'd you have to stick up a place

in this neighborhood?

Oh, stop bleeding.

The damage has been done.

Now, one quarter of $6,142 is $1,535.

$200 for the automatic, $1,735

plus the thousand that Holiday owes you...

$2,735-

as round a sum as you ever saw.

Just a minute.

What about my cut?

I'm coming to that.

Yeah, but you're coming to it too late.

I got nothing to do with that thousand

I'll take two grand.

All right, Jinx.

You want two grand?

You get two grand.

Do we have to stand here

with all this money in plain sight

and argue about it?

Somebody might walk in here any minute.

Let's go back in the battery room.

I wouldn't want to be the man
that walked in here.

Then hurry up and split
the stuff, and get out!

And don't ever come back.

I don't want any part of you.

If I'd known what I was getting into...

Why, you're stark-staring nuts.

Don't you ever say that
to me again, do you hear?

Don't ever say that again.

You beat it.

Beat it!

Get out of here.

Oh, a trifling detail:

I had to slug Hartford.

Hit him a little hard.

Very regrettable.

Surprised he's still alive.

Reckon he is, too.

What a way to start a morning.

Hmm.

How is she, Doc?

All right. Her pulse is up a little, that's all.

Excitement, I guess.

Can we talk to her?

Sure.

Now, Miss Staines,
this is important.

I want you to think carefully

and give the best description you can

of the two men.

I... I don't know.

You don't know?

I was looking at the guns,
that's all.

All I saw are the guns.

Miss Staines,
we can't look for guns.

We have to look for faces.

We have to have something to go on.

I told you.

I only saw the guns.

The guns, that's all I saw!

The guns, the guns,
that's all I saw...

All right, Miss Staines.

She's got a little case of shock.

She better rest today.

You can talk to her tomorrow.

Tomorrow, the guys who did it
could be in the next state.

I can't help that.

I've got my job; you've got yours.

Come on, Tom.
Let's go downstairs.

Maybe somebody saw them leaving.

Yeah. Stay where you are, Bob.

Right.

Well, the funniest part of it

was when that siren sounded.

Mason went right straight up in the air

like he'd been shot.

What are you so gloomy about?

You're off the hook, aren't you?

You don't owe anybody anything.

Except maybe society.

Come on, now.
Don't be foolish.

You don't know where I got that money.

For all you know

I might have found it in the street.

You're trying to get me in
deeper and deeper, aren't you?

Sweetheart...

right now you're in over your head.

You stay here.

Who is it?

It's Vic Mason, pal.

Let me in.

Reach!

What is this?

We're police.

Why, you...

Shut up!

Beat it.

He's not one of my favorite

But I'll say one thing for him.

He's got a heart as big as a Mac truck.

You know what he did just before

He took all that money you paid him

and put it right in the pot.

I don't think Cotter here knows

Is that a fact?

You don't know about the old lady?

Well, she's very, very sick.

They're sending her to Arizona.

But how far will Mason's money go?

She needs doctors, nurses

a place to live and plenty to eat.

It takes a lot of dough for that sort of thing.

A lot of dough.

6,000 bucks!

Guess we better get on downtown.

Think we better put
the cuffs on him, Reece?

Nah, he ain't got nothing on him.

You can put your hands down now.

Sister, you better get your coat and hat on

if we're going downtown.

Come on.
Get your coat and hat.

You stay here.

I, uh...

I'm awfully sorry about the old lady.

She's got TB.

Yeah, I know.

She has to get to Arizona.

Do you...

Do you suppose I could toss
something into the pot?

I suppose it might be all right.

How much did you have in mind?

Oh, about...
about 1,400.

You got six grand.

You want to put in fourteen hundred?

That's all there is left.

Mason got 2,700,
and the other guy got two G's.

There's almost five G's right there.

And it was the first job we pulled here

and we were on our way
through to Arizona...

All right, all right,
where's the dough?

In my coat in the bedroom.

I'll get it.

Don't bother.

Reece!

Get this guy's coat out of there.

Bring the dame, too.

Come on. Come on.

We need a hundred bucks
to get out of town.

The old lady wouldn't like that.

She needs every cent.

Now listen,
both of you.

I want you to get out of town

Separate buses,
I said.

And don't come back.

Separate buses and don't come back.

You got a good memory, little girl.

Let's go.

Oh, mister?

Please...

could I have my automatic back?

Well, there are at least three dishonest

So you see,
I am not unique.

I wouldn't go through that again
for a million dollars.

Oh, we got off lucky.

Any cop that'll shake you down

is a cop that'll kill you.

And just for the fun of it, too.

Don't ever forget that.

And will you get rid of that revolver?

I don't trust them.
They're always empty

when you need them most.

An automatic is the only thing.

Ralph, where are you going?

I'll be back in an hour.

Don't go near Mason.

Please, darling,
stay away from Mason.

I wasn't even thinking about him.

We're broke.

We've got to get money to get out of town.

No, Ralph, no!

It's taking too much of a chance.

You've done too much already.

Your luck won't hold.

It better hold.

Darling, listen to me.

I've lost my brother,
all I had.

But now I've got you

and I don't want to lose you, too.

I've got a little money saved

enough to get us out of the city

out of the state even.

We could start all over.

You could get a job.

How much have you got?

About $20.

Be back in an hour.

It's Jinx.

Anybody with you?

No.

You don't have to say a word.

I know exactly how you feel.

They cleaned us, too.

Well, they didn't clean me.

I went out the back door of the shop

when I saw them coming in.

Oh, you can trust the Inspector.

I'll bet he took everything you got.

Inspector?

That shakedown artist was an inspector?

Yes, Inspector Weber.

Hmm.

Well, cut yourself a piece
of cake, Inspector.

Hmm.

Cut yourselftwopieces of cake.

Do you mean to tell me
you've still got the money?

Yeah, sure. I've got two grand right

Well, that's wonderful.

Then we can all get started
in some new city.

Wait a minute.
Let's not be hasty.

I have an idea we can do some
business with the Inspector.

We might be able to fix this.

It might be we won't have to start running.

That would be all right
with you, wouldn't it?

Yeah, sure.
It'd be fine.

All right,
then we stay.

And I don't want any arguments!

Now, what do we need...

What do we need to make some
recording in this place?

Well, we'd have to have...

No, Ralph, we've caused
too much trouble already!

What do we need?!

Well, we'd have to have a portable

We use that phonograph for the playback.

We'll have to have some ten-inch acetates

some cutting needles,
and a microphone

with about 20 or 30 feet of cable.

All right, get them.

Get them and give me your two grand.

Give me your two grand!

I might as well have given it to Weber.

Oh, no. Weber would have
spent it foolishly.

I'm going to invest it for you.

You fool!

You fool!
You crazy fool!

You said yourself a cop

that'll shake you down will kill you.

You try and frame Weber

and you'll frame yourself
right into the morgue.

He's too smart for you.

Oh, no, he stopped being smart

when he took my money.

He's still a big man

and he knows how to protect himself.

Especially against small-timers like you

that try and put something over on him.

Go get the stuff and start setting it up.

I'll meet you back here.

And darling,
by this time tomorrow

the word small-timer will have walked

right out of your vocabulary.

If we're still alive.

Mason?

What do you want?

I want a car.

I thought maybe

you could drive me
and Holiday out of town.

Sorry I can't help you, Ralph old pal.

Very sorry.

Nothing I'd like better

than to drive you
and the dame somewhere.

And have you put a bullet in my back.

Oh, you've got me all wrong, Vic.

I'm not sore.
I'm not holding any grudge.

I can pay 2,000...

$2,000.

You didn't think

I'd let the Inspector clean me,
did you?

I don't care if you can pay $2 million.

Get out of here.

Vic, you mean you won't help me?

I wouldn't cut you down
if you were hanging.

All right, Vic.

Hello?

Let me speak to Inspector Weber.

Who's calling?

Vic Mason.

Yeah?

Hello, Inspector?

Ralph Cotter was just in here.

He offered me $2,000 to let him have a car.

Did you let him have it?

What?

Did you let him have it?

No, I didn't let him have the car.

But I thought you'd like to know
about the $2,000.

Two grand?

Yeah, that's right, Inspector.

All right, thanks.

Okay, good-bye.

Jinx, how much longer
are you going to take?

Hurry up, hurry up,
it's getting close.

What's the matter?

Big Brain starting to worry?

Okay, all set.

But try to keep him out of this room.

This thing makes a little noise.

Mm-hmm.

Come on, open up.

Oh, Inspector...

You're still here, huh?

I thought you'd be on
your way by this time.

Well, we're trying to get away, sir.

Trying to locate a car.

There's two or three buses

leave here for Arizona everyday.

I guess you don't appreciate
when a guy's good to you, huh?

I gave you one break.

Maybe I made a mistake.

I wanted him to leave, Inspector

but he said we didn't have enough money.

Yeah, that was the trouble, sir, no money.

You know,
you took all we had.

And I had to get in touch
with that friend of mine

who helped me pull the Hartford job

and he let me have a few hundred.

Yeah, quite a few.

It added up to two grand.

Well, I see I can't keep
any secrets from you, sir.

Here it is.
$2,000 cash.

How much of this will you let us keep?

Only a hundred, sir?

Oh, look, Inspector

uh, we're going to Arizona, all right

but I was just wondering...

This friend of mine-

who helped me pull the market job-

told me about a payroll
that was a pushover.

A very big payroll.

Enough for all of us.

How big a payroll?

Oh, 25 or 30 grand.

I don't trust you.

Well, there's no reason why you should

but if anything goes wrong

you know you can always use that old stall

about having been tipped off

and grabbing us red-handed and all that.

You're an Inspector,
you can get away with that.

Oh, Inspector.

You'll have to excuse

the appearance of the bedroom.

The maid hasn't shown up yet.

Ralph...

Shh, shh.

What do you think,
John?

You're still doing the thinking, Inspector.

I think we might give it a whirl.

Anything you say.

If anything goes sour with the heist

they'll look like sieves

when we get through with them.

Where is this payroll job?

I don't know.
My friend knows.

Where's your friend now?

Well, uh, that I don't know either.

But, uh, I think I know

where I can get in touch with him.

Do you think you can raise him

by 3:00 tomorrow afternoon?

Oh, yes,
I'm sure of that.

Well, after you've located him

call me at headquarters.

If I'm not in,
just say Mr. Baker called.

I'll know what that means.

Mr. Baker.

All right,
Inspector Weber.

Mr. Baker.

I'll remember.

I'll remember.

Yeah.

Did you get it?

Yeah, I got it.

And a slight case of heart failure.

Let's hear it.

Oh, Inspector...

Still here, huh?

Well, uh...

I thought you'd be
on your way by this time.

Well, we're trying to get away, sir.

Trying to locate a car.

There's two or three buses

leave here for Arizona every day.

I gave you one break.

Maybe I made a mistake.

I wanted...

Well, now are you satisfied, dear?

I'm satisfied you're going

to get us all killed.

There's my girl.

I wouldn't be too sure.

Jinx,
where's a good lawyer?

Where's my hundred bucks?

Your what?

The hundred bucks Weber gave you back.

It's still mine.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

Well, uh, you know I told you I was going

to invest your money for you.

Well, this time the investment

will take the form of a new suit.

For who?
For me.

And now that that's over

we still need the name of a good lawyer

to help us in this.

Doc Green.

Doc? He doesn't sound like a lawyer.

He ain't.
He ain't a doctor, either.

And I'll tell you something else he ain't.

He ain't to be trusted.

Why should he be different?

'Dr. Darius Green,
Philosophic Guide

'Organon, Aristotle

'Novum Organum, Bacon

'Tertium Organum, Ouspensky...

You sure we've come to the right place?

Oh, sure.

Oh, I forgot to tell you
though... he's nuts, too.

Mmm.

Aristotle, Bacon,
and Ouspensky.

Pretty fair parlay.

All attempts to purify and elevate the mind

will assist you in this attainment

and facilitate the approach
on the recurrence

of these happy interludes.

There are then,
different roads

by which the Zen may be reached.

The love of beauty,
which exalts the poet.

That devotion to the one...

Why don't we wait outside?

Shh!

I like it here.

...conducting to the height

above the actual in particular

where we stand in the immediate presence

of the infinite

who shines out as from
the depths of the soul.

Such was one of Plotinus'
letters to Phlakos.

And I especially wanted you to hear it

because it coincides
with my own theory of knowledge.

Shall we concentrate upon that
perhaps, a minute or two?

My friends...

there is some new literature

which Miss Dobson will
distribute as you leave.

And now, my friends,
I'm tired.

You must excuse me.

Come again.

Thank you.

Oh, he's very good.

Good night.

Good night.
Good night.

Thank you.

Good night.
Thank you.

They're going to have trouble with that one.

Good night.

May I speak to Dr. Green
for a moment, please?

Oh, Dr. Green never gives

personal interviews after a reading.

He's usually much too tired.

Well, unfortunately,
this matter can't wait.

It's much too vital.

If it weren't

I wouldn't think of disturbing him.

Yeah, he knows me.
Just tell him...

I'm sure it'll be all right.

May I have your names, please?

My name is Paul Murphy,
and this is Joseph Raynor.

I'll tell Dr. Green.

Thank you so much.

Uh, Doctor, this is Paul Murphy

and Joseph Raynor.

How do you do, sir?

What is it, gentlemen?

Oh, may we talk to you alone?

Well, I have no secrets from Miss Dobson.

Well, uh, this matter is not concerned with

cosmic consciousness.

There are no other matters

that I wished to be consulted about.

May I be excused,
Dr. Green?

If you insist.

Good night, Doctor.

Good night, my dear.

How dare you come here.

How dare you!

Easy, Doctor, easy.

I refuse to have

anything to do with you.

That life for me is over.

I shall heal no more bodies.

I shall heal only minds.

There's no body to heal.

All we want is a name.

We've been looking for a lawyer

of the right kind

and we didn't know where to go.

Got to the classified section

of the telephone book

and look under 'lawyers.'

Doc, let's be reasonable about this.

Now, you've worked with the mob.

You must know someone.

Oh, that was years ago.

Two years ago.

Just two.

Doc, you don't want to be bothered

with us anymore,
do you?

No.

Well, then,
give us a name.

Try Keith Mandon.

Cherokee Mandon.

He's an evil man, too.

Thanks.

The only way you can thank me

is not to come here again.

Well, anyway,
Doc...

it's nice to see you've reformed.

Dr. Dobson,
I presume.

Mr. Murphy.

Was your interview satisfactory?

Oh, very.

Now that I presumed once

may I presume again?

In what way?

Well, uh, we are badly in need

of a phone booth

and we seem to be

out of the range of phone booths

and I wonder if you would drop us

at a drugstore.

I'm afraid I don't know you,
Mr. Murphy.

Don't forget,
Miss Dobson

I don't know you,
either.

Get in.

This is very nice of you.

Oh, not at all.

What did you think of the doctor's paper?

I came in a little late.

Beside, I'm not up on
cosmic consciousness.

It wasn't on cosmic consciousness.

It was on the psychology of knowledge.

Oh, same thing.

What is it,
religion or something?

No,
it's a philosophy.

It goes into the fourth dimension.

Or I should say
the mathematical conception

of the fourth dimension.

Oh, that let's me out.

I'd like to see you

at one of the doctor's
meditations, Mr. Murphy.

Oh, I'd be a very bad influence.

My vibrations would be
positively poisonous.

You see, I don't hold with the theory

that the fourth dimension

is either philosophical or mathematical.

I think it's purely intuition.

Oh?

Hmm. I don't mean to start an argument

or sound pretentious

but that's the way I feel about it.

I never heard that before.

Well, it's something

we should go into sometime.

Among other things.

Hey, there's a drugstore.

Oh, there'll be others.

Oh, we don't want to impose.

Thank you, very much.

This will be fine.

Your name is Keith Mandon?

Yes.

You formerly practiced law in this state.

I have not yet been disbarred.

Quite so.

But I'm sure that such will

in the near future.

Objection.

Sustained.

The prosecutor will please remember

that a prisoner is innocent
until proven guilty.

Such insinuations
are singularly out of place.

Yes, Your Honor.

Mr. Mandon, will you
tell us in your own words

your connection with these people?

It was coercion.

I beg your pardon?

I said coercion.

Will you tell us what you mean

Certainly.

I was sitting at home one night

relaxing after a very hard day.

Even the prosecution will bear me out

that a lawyer's lot,
like the policemen's

is not a very happy one.

Well, anyway, the doorbell rang,
and as my houseboy

was busy in the kitchen preparing coffee

I answered it myself.

Mr. Mandon?

What do you want?

I want to talk to you, sir.

Well, this is where I live, not where I work.

See me up at my office tomorrow.

Oh, please, Mr. Mandon.

It may be too late then.

This is very urgent.

Very important.

Important to you, too, sir.

Well, come in.

Well, I can't see what could be so important

at this hour of the night.

I need some advice,
Mr. Mandon.

People who come to see me generally do.

Advice on something
that's already happened

or that's going to happen?

Both.

How much money have you got?

Well, it's not how much money I have

it's how much I'm going to have.

I don't deal in futures.

But these futures are not gambles.

That is, uh, gambles in the usual sense.

Do these futures include,
by any chance

the breaking of the law?

Uh-huh.

Any man who breaks the law is a sucker.

Does that include the police?

Any policeman who breaks the law
is twice a sucker.

I know two who have.

I've got them nailed.

One of them's an inspector.

I suppose you know his name?

Weber.

Charlie Weber?

Inspector of Detectives.

Toughest man in the department

and you've got him nailed.

The rabbit nailing the wolf.

Wait, stand by,
Highness.

Go back and tell him I didn't bite.

Who?

The lawyers who sent you.

Tell them if they want me disbarred

why don't they file charges
with the bar association.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Oh, these little traps they set for me

get more and more complicated
all the time.

Charlie Weber, huh?

Charlie Weber.

What do they take me for,
a fool?

Highness,
throw this fellow out.

Tell him to get out.

Here, here,
put that gun away.

Tell him to get out.

All right, Highness,
leave the room.

Now, put it away.

After you decide to go with me.

I've got something to show you

and I'm going to see to it

Who told you about me?

Doc Green.

What Doc Green?

You know what Doc Green.

Highness.

Highn...

Get my clothes, Highness.

I'm going out.

Oh, yes, I'm sure of that.

Well, after you've located him,
call me at headquarters.

If I'm not in,
just say Mr. Baker called.

I'll know what that means.

Mr. Baker.

All right, Inspector Weber.

Mr. Baker.

I'll remember.

Are you convinced?

Yeah, I'm convinced, but, uh...

I don't know what to say.

All I want from you is a yes or no.

Have I got him

and do you or don't you want in on this?

Oh, you got him,
all right, but, uh...

he's a big man,
a very tough man.

The slightest mistake

you'll never know what hit you.

Answer the question.

Are you in or out?

Suppose we go in the living room

sit down, get acquainted.

There's a lot of things I want to find

before Weber drops around tomorrow.

Mr. Mandon, what do you think?

Oh, he's got something,
all right.

I guess he has at that.

All set?

They're right on time.

How are you this afternoon?

Fine, just fine.

I hear Vic Mason met with an accident.

That so?
Kill him?

Not quite.

Mmm, pity.

This your friend?

Oh, yes,
this is Jinx Raynor

Inspector Weber,
Mr. Reece.

Lieutenant Reece.

I beg your pardon; Lieutenant Reece.

Does he know what it's all about?

Mmm, ask him.

He understands English.

What about this payroll job
you got spotted?

Well?

Yes, sir, that's right.

How big a payroll is it?

Pretty big.

How big?

Well, it's... pretty big.

Cut it out!

How big is it?

Where is it?
What place?

You better tell him.

You better tell him.

Inspector Weber,
there's a friend of yours here.

I think we better have him tell you.

Hello, Charlie.

What are you doing here,
Cherokee?

Having a conference with my clients.

Clients?

Why, yes, uh...

I sometimes confer with
my clients outside of jail.

As I remember, you've had
quite a bit of trouble

keeping yourself out of jail in your time.

What is this,
Mandon?

Sit down and listen.

I can listen from here.

Suit yourself.

All right, Jinx,
but, uh, not too loud.

No sense in having the neighbors
call the police.

Oh, Inspector...

Still here, huh?

Well, uh...

I thought you'd be on
your way by this time.

Well, we're trying to get away, sir.

Trying to locate a car.

There's two or three buses

leave here for Arizona every day.

I guess you don't appreciate

when a guy's good to you, huh?

I gave you one break.

Maybe I made a mistake.

I wanted to leave, Inspector

but he said we didn't have enough money.

Yeah, that was the trouble, sir- no money.

You know,
you took all we had

and I had to get in touch
with that friend of mine

who helped me pull the Hartford job

and he let me have a few hundred.

Yeah, quite a few.

It added up to two grand.

Well, I see I can't keep
any secrets from you, sir.

Here it is.

Oh!
Get your hands up.

Get over there against that wall, all of you.

No, no, no, no,
don't do that, Inspector

You missed the best part.

The best part's where you
planned to heist the payroll.

Shut up!

Frisk them, Reece.

We haven't got any guns.

Where are they?
In the bedroom.

Where in the bedroom?
Beats me.

Cut that out, John!

I don't want the coroner

to find any bruises on these birds.

I told you you'd go too far.

I'm going to hate myself
in the morning for this.

Pulling that trigger,
Charlie

will be just like putting a bullet

through your own head.

Now, you ought to know

that there's more than
a single copy of that record.

Or do you suppose we got you here

just to slaughter us?

No, no.

We got you here,
Charlie

to tell you you've just been signed

by our ball club.

And just to make sure you do play ball

we sent copies of that record
to some very reliable friends.

Now, if they don't hear from us
within the hour

we can't tell them that everything's fine

those records are going to be played

for the mayor, Charlie,
for the district attorney

and of course,
for the chief of police.

Why don't you stop being childish

when all we want from you
is a little cooperation?

And my 3,400 bucks.

I guess I'd better get this attended to.

Yeah, go into the bathroom
and get yourself a towel

before we have to start buying
carpets for this place.

May I look at that, please?

You almost broke my arm with that.

You know that, don't you?

Well, look,
Cotter, I didn't...

Now, you feel any better?

Well, hello.

Where do I drop youtonight?

Anywhere.

I have no place to go,
and I'm all alone.

We could drive and talk.

That's what I was hoping for.

Where would you like to go?

We have four directions here.

A sort of local phenomenon.

North, East,
South and West.

Which do you prefer?

The one without the traffic.

That's the one I know best.

Why don't you take it out of second?

Why did you stop?

So I could light a cigarette.

And to let you drive,
if you want to.

I don't want to drive.

What are you trying to prove?

Prove?

I'm not trying to prove anything.

What are you afraid of?

Now, really,
whatamI afraid of?

Well, what scared you?

You.

Don't look at me like that.

Well, I'm glad

you finally decided to stop.

You're lucky you're in one piece.

Let's see your driver's license.

Is your name 'Margaret Dobson?'

What does it say on the license?

Now listen,
Miss Dobson

you were traveling pretty fast back there.

Suppose you'd blown a front tire?

You'd have been spread all over

And we don't want Ezra Dobson's daughter

killed on our beat,
do we, David?

No, we certainly don't.
He's too nice a man.

Just take it easy from here
on in, will you, Miss Dobson?

Yes, certainly.

Say, haven't I seen your face

Hmm, maybe at the policemen's ball.

Yeah, maybe.
Maybe so.

Well, good night, sir.

Good night.

Hmm, next time I come out with you

I'm going to bring along an extra

Whoisyour father?

Police Commissioner or something?

No.

Please don't worry about it.

Who are you?

I said, 'Don't worry about it.'

All right, I won't.

Now let's see.
Where were we

when we were so rudely interrupted?

Don't you remember?

Hmm, seems I do.

Mmm, coffee.

Mmm, perfume.

Did you have a good time last night?

Yeah, I went to a movie.

First movie I'd seen in three years.

Some movie!

I hear she has a foreign car.

She? Foreign car?

What are you talking about?

The woman you and Jinx met
the other night.

Hasn't she got a foreign car?

I don't know what kind of

I don't even know her name or where

I wouldn't know how to find her, even

Finding her shouldn't be difficult

for a bright boy like you.

Not for a mastermind like you.

Well, well, you finally made that discovery.

Took you a little while, but you

That's fine.

Would you like some coffee?

Hmm?

Would you like some coffee?

Mmm, love it.

I like mine in a cup.

No cream?

How 'bout some sugar?

Oh!

No cigar.

One of these days

you're going to get yourself killed.

There isn't a cop in the world

who can shoot that straight.

I was talking about a cop.

I was talking aboutme.

Why, I thought you were
the law-abiding type.

I guess I'm just whatever you make me.

But I'm very jealous.

I'll put up with a lot from you

but not another woman.

I still don't know what you're talking about.

I can barely handleyou.

Well, what do you think of it?

Very nice.

Just like mother used to make.

Nervous?

What have I got to be nervous about?

All right, let's go in and try it on for size.

Incidentally, Paul,
what happened to

that other copy of the record?

I sent it to my brother.

The only honest man in the world.

Didn't know you had a brother.

Lots of things about me
you don't know, Cherokee.

For instance, Ralph Cotter
is not my real name.

What is your real name?

If you knew,
you would die.

Well, we wouldn't want that
to happen, would we?

Well, what do you know!

Cherokee Mandon.

How are you?

Who's your friend?

Hiya, Trent.

This is Paul Murphy.
He's in my office now.

Sergeant Satterfield.

How are you?
What does he do?

Well, I'll tell you,
he goes around

persuading kids to take up a life of crime.

Then when you boys put the pinch on them

I get to be their lawyer.

Sort of a legal shill,
aren't you, Paul?

Kind of a 20th century Fagin.

Uh...is that office empty?

Why?

Uh, I want to speak to Paul.

Oh, it's empty.

Thanks.

Go ahead,
help yourself.

Give it to me.

What?

This, this.

You must be crazy

bringing your heater into this lion's den.

What if one of these coppers
should spot...?

Well, I'd rather go around without my ears

than go around without that.

Take it easy. I'll get you a permit to carry it.

Oh, just like that?

Just like that.

Hmm.

You ever kill anybody with this?

No.

Not yet.

Is Weber in?

He's eating his lunch.

Tell him we're here with his desert.

What is it?

Cherokee Mandon is here to see

Tell him to come in.

What do you want?

The card come?

See what happens when you let me

Cherokee, you are a wizard.

I take my hat off to you.

How'd you ever get it here?

Paul, uh, I took the liberty

of suggesting to Inspector Weber here

that we forget all about

that $3,400 you mentioned

and that he get you this card instead.

Now, uh, shall we conclude the ritual?

Inspector, I thank you very, very much.

I really appreciate this.

Don't mention it.

Oh, how is your hand?

Not infected,
I hope.

My hand is all right.

Well, you know,
those phonograph needles

can pick up an awful lot of dirt.

Yes?

The Chief wants to see you,
Inspector, right away.

Thank you.

I hope you'll be gone when I get back.

Morning, Sam.

How's the poker game going?

What poker game?

The one in the Detective Bureau.

Well, you know there's no poker game

in the Detective Bureau, Sam.

What's eating you?

I'mstill asking the questions, Charlie.

What have you got
on the Hartford robbery?

Well, nothing so far.

Looks to me like the work of some

Not to me,
it doesn't.

Who've you got on the case?

Gray and Fowler.

Two men?

Why should I put the whole Bureau

Why?

I'll tell you why.

Because it isn't a robbery anymore.

The hospital called up a little while ago.

Hartford is dead.

So, you'd better heave
a few more of those men

out of their chairs
and put them on the case.

You understand?

I understand.

Well, then understand this, too.

I'm giving you 48 hours
to clear up this case.

And if it isn't solved by the end of that time

I'm getting myself another boy.

And I don't expect you to spend your time

watching the clock and counting up to 48.

Clear?

Clear.

That's all, then.
Get out.

You still here?

Oh, we didn't want to leave

without saying good-bye.

That's not why you stayed.

No, as a matter of fact, it isn't.

Charlie, we want a gun permit

made out in the name of Paul Murphy.

Who's Paul Murphy?

I'm Paul Murphy.

I thought it would help
if we changed his name.

That's very thoughtful

You know I can't issue

Only the Chief of Police

can issue a gun permit.

We were hoping that the Inspector

would speak to the Chief

I just spoke to the Chief

The name is Paul Murphy.

Well, I guess I can speak

Here, fill this out.
I'll see what I can do.

Oh, here, where it says

'reason for requesting permit'

what do I put?

That's where you put down

for requesting the permit.

Oh, oh, okay.

Well, supposing I say, uh

'Often carry large sums of money?'

Oh, yeah, that ought to do.

When do you think you'll be

carrying large sums of money?

Soon.
I'll give you warning.

Listen here,
Mandon.

I want you to keep this guy

from fooling with anything federal.

Banks and things like that are bringing in

government agents before
you can bat an eye.

Don't worry.

I'm talking toyou, Mandon.

Yes, yes.

The minute you pick out something

you let me know before you

And I might as well tellyou, Cotter...

Murphy.

All right, Murphy,
the Chief just gave me

48 hours to get you,
dead or alive.

Preferably dead.

Well, thank the Chief for me.

Tell him I'm sorry to have taken up his time.

Good-bye, Charlie.

Nice to meet you,
Truck.

Thank you.

Bye, Truck.

Good-bye.

Well, now how do you feel?

Oh, fine; I feel fine.

You ought to.

You're just been born again.

That makes it official.

You know, every time somebody gets born

they slap them on the back.

Cherokee, I salute you

as the one who has proven himself worthy

to share my frenetic genius.

From now on, you shall manage
all my affairs

as you deem fit and proper.

You should have been a lawyer.

Why? I have a lawyer.

And now, uh...

can that lawyer tell me what Ezra

Well, he has many titles.

Ex-mayor, ex-governor,
ex-U.S. senator.

No, that isn't what I mean.

I mean what's his title now?

Right now he's president of Watco Steel.

Worth thirty million as the crow flies.

Is that what you want to know?

That is exactly what I wanted to know.

Why?

Oh, he has a very,
very lovely daughter.

And that will be all of that.

She's poison.

Come here.

The one man who can ruin every plan

He's the most powerful
figure in the entire state.

If you get mixed up with her

you're bound to get mixed up with him

and that we can't afford.

Believe me, Paul,
the day Dobson

walks into this picture, I walk out.

Now, the future looks awfully good.

We're getting things pretty well set up now.

Don't tear them down before they're built.

Anything you say,
Cicero.

Anything you say.

Going down?

Like it?

Mm-hmm.

Its chief charm is its convenience.

It's close in.

Actually, I live on Willow Creek Drive.

Yes, I know, I saw it
on your car registration.

Nice, nice,
very nice.

Miss Dobson, your father called.

Thank you, Julia.

Is there ice in the bar?

Yes, Miss Dobson.

He said would you please call him

as soon as you came in.

Very well, Julia.

That will be all for tonight.

Yes, Miss Dobson.

Would you like a drink?

Yes, uh, your Julia said there's

Let's find it.

Yes, let's find it.

After you kiss me.

Mm-hmm.

Julia, did you ask Miss Margaret to call me?

Yes, Mr. Dobson.

So, this is the reason you didn't call me.

Take this man out of here.

No, Father, no!

You heard me.

Father, you can't.

Paulie's my husband.

Husband?

You mean you're married?

Married?

When?

Tonight.

We were going to tell you
about it at breakfast.

The certificate's over there in my bag.

Now, will you please ask your private

All right, boys.

Really, Father,
you make things

so awkward sometimes.

I'm sure Paul must be wondering

what kind of family he's married into.

He's impulsive and insane.

But nothing you can do
will change anything.

Who else knows about this?

The clerk and the justice who married us.

Did they know who you were?

I don't know; I don't think so.

Do you know who he is?

Well, he's my husband.

That's not what I mean!

Who is he?
Where does he come from?

Well, he'll tell you himself.

I want to hear it from you.

I don't know; he hasn't lived here very long.

But I have an idea
he won't live here much longer.

But I do know that I love him

and that's all that matters to me.

What do you know about love?

Have you ever been in love before?

Or have you reached the point

where any Tom, Dick, and Harry
with a glib tongue

can have you fainting in five minutes?

Father!

You even went across
the state line to do it. Why?

Because in this state you
have to wait three days.

No, no.

That's not the reason.

The reason is you were afraid
someone at city hall

would've tipped the papers off
that you'd taken out a license

and you knew that when I heard about it

I'd have cracked down on you
like a ton of bricks.

Young man, I've brought my daughter up

as well as any girl in this country

and I'm not going to permit her

to be swept off her feet
by any ragged stranger.

Right now I don't know anything about you

but believe me,
within 24 hours I will.

Everything!

Father, this is very embarrassing to Paul.

Couldn't we talk about it in the morning?

Yes, we most certainly will
talk about it in the morning.

As a matter of fact,
I insist on it.

And we'll talk about an annulment, too.

In the meantime,
will you do me the small favor

of not saying anything about this

until after we have talked?

Yes, Father.

I never thought
I'd have a fool for a daughter.

I guess I didn't handle that very well.

What do you mean?

He was mad.

Any two-headed child could see that.

No, you don't understand.

Usually when I talk to him like

Well...

This time I'm afraid he won't.

He'll cool off by morning.

No. No, he won't.

I saw his face.

Uh-huh.

Margaret, here's something your

I want you.

You're all I've ever wanted

and I'm not going to give you up.

You won't let him force you?

I don't force easily.

You don't know Father.

Suppose I refuse to have
the marriage annulled?

What will he do then?

He could make you wish
you never saw the city.

He could make you wish
you'd never been born.

I've seen him do it before

to others in politics,
in business, in everything.

Well, we'll face that when we come to it.

Now, you go on and get
yourself some sleep, hmm?

Goodnight, darling.

Now, this merely states that from

you renounce all claims on the estates

of Ezra and Margaret Dobson.

Would you like me to read it?

No.

Before you sign it,
you have a legal right

to know exactly what it contains.

I'll sign it.

Is that all I have to sign?

Yes.

To compensate you for your trouble

here's a certified check for $25,000.

I don't want that money, Mr. Dobson.

I regret this whole affair

just as much as you do

and as much as Margaret does.

It was thoughtless
and childish of both of us

and for my part, I'm sorry.

And I'm sure Margaret is, too.

Good day, sir.

Good-bye, Margaret.

The marriage certificate.

That's the seventh stop.

Yeah, seven little satchels,
all getting filled with money.

What's your guess on how much money?

Plenty. Rohmer will take a bet
on any track in the country.

We've been tailing them
for two hours already.

Keep this up much longer

they're a cinch to get wise to us.

Oh, they've been doing this so long

they've gotten fat,
cocky, and careless.

We couldn't tip them off

if we sat on the roof of their car.

Yeah, Rohmer's got
the bookie business cornered.

There's probably $25,000
or more in those satchels.

Want me to hang on?

No, we've seen enough,
haven't we?

There's our gimmick- why don't we use it?

You mean you're going
to steal a squad car?

Let's go see Weber.

This is it.

I thought we were going to Weber's office.

This seems to be one of them.

How many does he have?

Right now I couldn't tell you.

Howdy.

I hope this didn't put you out too much.

No, you didn't put us out.

Sit down.

Thanks.

Sit down, Jinx.

Now, Cherokee, what is
this big idea of yours

that you can't tell me
about on the telephone?

Uh, before telling you, Charlie,
I want you to know

that we haven't gone off
half cocked on this.

It's dangerous,
but we can handle it.

If the Inspector will cooperate.

What is it, a heist?

Yeah.
Who?

Rohmer's collectors.

Rohmer's collectors?

What made you pick them?

They carry a lot of money.

Now, look, you try anything like that

and you're going to get
this whole town shot up.

You might just as well forget about

There will not be any shooting, as such.

I guarantee it.

How are you going to
do it, hypnotize them?

With your help, yes.

What kind of help?

A policeman's uniform.

A po... Oh, this is a very funny boy.

Yeah, he's a comic.

Listen here, Cherokee.

This may come as a surprise to you

but I've got a deal with Rohmer.

What's going to happen
when his collectors tell him

they've been stuck up by cops?

Who do you think he's going to come to?

Why, he won't be satisfied

till I put every cop on the force

in the show-up for him.

There may be some excuse
for this guy not using his head.

There's no excuse for you not using yours.

Inspector, his collectors won't be around

to tell him anything.

Three guys disappearing all of a sudden

must leave some kind of an echo.

An echo is not evidence.

They will just disappear

and Rohmer will think
they've blown with his dough.

Would you mind telling me

where you plan to stash
three bodies and a car?

We'll find a place.

Hey, I know of an abandoned quarry

out on the old Holt Turnpike.

It's full of water,
and 100 feet deep.

Shut up!

Thanks, Lieutenant.

Look, I know what Rohmer's daily take is.

He pays me off on the basis of it.

It's 20 grand,
and three men

is a little bit too much to...

As long as you're going to prorate this

don't leave out the car they'll be in.

That has to disappear, too.

And a shiny new car is worth more

than all those three mugs put together.

What kind of a job

do you think we came up here
to tell you about-

a neighborhood drugstore,
a gas station

or snatching some old woman's purse?

Well, that's more in your line!

A swell-headed hood

talking about killing
people and everything else!

A swell-headed hood, am I?

That was where you made your
original mistake, thinking that.

That's how you got caught in the ringer.

What do Rohmer's men mean to me?

I don't worry about them
any more than you do

shaking down a guy and then
shooting him in the back

to keep him from singing.

Listen you, all of you!

Stop acting stupid.

Your boss sees you; you're a hero.

Get this maniac out of here, Cherokee

or else talk some sense into him.

All right, all right.

Let's go, Ralph.

Paul.

All right,
come on, Paul.

Wait a minute.

You may come out, Joseph.

Gentlemen, why don't you
and I try to get along?

Hating my guts shouldn't
make you act like this.

It'll do for the time being.

Well, be that as it may, let's talk sense.

I don't want to jeopardize
your deal with Rohmer,

but this job is proposed on the basis

of a complete and perfect disappearance

and all we want from you
is a policeman's uniform.

And for that, you get a third of the take.

A third?

That's right, a third.

Somebody will find them sometime.

They'll find something.

Charlie,
if there were

the slightest chance of that happening

we wouldn't pull it.

That's fair enough,
isn't it?

Maybe.

Maybe it is.

That's fair enough.

Good-bye, Charlie.

What's the matter with you?

Maybe it's that uniform.

What's wrong with it?
It's a good fit.

I just don't feel right sitting here beside it.

Is that all that's worrying you?

Watch where you're going!

You going to be all right?

I don't have to like what I'm doing.

Oh, so that's it?

No, you don't have to like it

but you better do it.

And remember,
stick close behind us.

Parking in a loading zone
is a traffic violation.

So what?

Where's your driver's license?

I don't have any.

Oh... that's also a violation.

What's your name?

What do you want?

This man's name, I'm going
to write him a ticket.

On your way, Copper.

What's the beef?

Parking in a loading zone

and no driver's license.

We work for Rohmer, fella.

Well, I'm new on the force

and I don't know who Rohmer is

but it wouldn't make any difference if I did.

You like your job, fella?
You want to keep it?

Thenblow.
Let's go, Rushy.

Hold it.

Why, listen, you-

Sid, don't start anything

about a parking ticket.

You know where headquarters is?

We know, we know.

That's where we're going.

Go ahead, Rushy.

You take your job too serious.

Well, we have our orders,
mister.

You're going to get some new orders.

Rohmer even tells Weber where to get off.

Shut up, Sid.

Yeah, shut up, Sid.

Oh, don't turn that way, Rushy.
Drive straight ahead.

That's the way to police headquarters?

Uh-huh.

Hey, what is this anyway?

It's a picnic- we're going on a picnic.

It's a heist.

Clasp your hands behind your neck.

That's a good boy.

Rohmer'll get you for this, junior.

Mm-hmm.

You still think you know the way

to police headquarters, Rushy?

Yeah.
Oh, no, you don't.

They moved a way out in the country

out on the old Holt turnpike.

Now you just keep driving straight ahead

and I'll show you where
it is when we get there.

Cooperative Borrowers.

This is your meal ticket

Weber, remember?

Oh, hello, Rohmer.

How are things?
You still getting rich?

Well, I was until today.

My collectors haven't showed yet.

What?

They've disappeared.
When?

Well, they were due at 3:00.

Well... h-how many were there?

Three.

Three?

Yeah, and you better get out

and find them quick, hear?

Aw, take it easy, Rohmer.

Maybe they just went across the street

for a short beer or something.

I don't care what they stepped out for.

You find them, understand?

Well... look, Rohmer,
that's notmyjob.

Well, it is now.

And if you know what's good
for you, you'll jump.

Or you won't have any job at all
or anything else.

W-what are you getting sore at me for?

I haven't got them in my hip pocket.

Have you looked lately?

No, Rohmer.

Well, get looking.
All right.

Now!

Yeah, all right, Rohmer.

Why don't you tell him what
happened to his collectors?

Maybe I will.

Now who's the comic?

Here's your cut.

$17,000.

You mean a third of the take is $17,000?

To be exact, $17,101.

I divided it up on the drive back.

All together, $51,303.

And that bird's been paying
us off on the basis

of $20,000 a day.

Yeah.

That's what I always say-

you can't trust crooks.

Well, don't think it hasn't
been charming, gentlemen.

Hey, wait a minute,
wait a minute.

All kidding aside, now what am I
going to tell this guy?

Don't worry.
I will take care of Rohmer.

Any business that pays $50,000 a day

is averygood business to be in.

So if Rohmer should drop
dead some afternoon...

Come, Joseph.

Take that bag over to Holiday

and divide it three ways

and drop me off at Mandon's with this one.

Inspector, as I said,
I will take care of Rohmer.

He'll take care of us too.

If we don't do something to stop him.

If I ever saw a crazy man, he's it.

I tell you, he'll have us
all on the end of a rope

one of these days!

Remember,
just five minutes.

Mason?

Mason? We've got the car.

What car?

The car that was used on the Hartford job.

We found it in your garage, Mason.

Looks like we've got you.

I didn't...

have anything to do with it.

Hartford's dead, Mason.

You're the only one we've got.

You can burn...

so you better not try
to cover up for anyone.

Sure, Vic, just tell us who did it.

Cotter.

Ralph Cotter.

Where's he live?

I don't know.

See... Holiday Carlton.

She goes by the name of 'Caldwell.'

Marakeesh Apartments.

She knows.

See, Doc, it didn't even take five minutes.

Just a minute.

What did you do after
you left Weber's office?

Just what he told me to.

I went back to Holiday's place
and counted the money.

But I was sick.

Sick?

Yeah, for what I'd done.

I'd never done anything like that before.

And I began to think
this Cotter was coo-coo.

I wanted out.

I felt like a man on the top
floor of a house that's on fire.

You run for a window to jump out
and there's no ladder.

If you jump, you get killed.

If you stay where you are,
you get killed.

That's how it was.

And, uh, after you counted the money

then what happened?

We were scared...
me and Holiday.

Do you know how it feels to be scared?

Yes?

It's Paul.

What's that?

Champagne,
the traditional

I never saw a bottle that big.

Oh, it's a Jerobaum,
they come even bigger.

There's the Methuselah,
the Balthazar

there's the Nebuchadnezzar

And this is ice,
and this is goblets.

And that is money.

Does it still add up the same,
Mr. Rockefeller?

Not quite, I took my $2,000 you gave Weber

off the top.

Oh, uh, what was your rush?
You'd have gotten it.

I wanted to make sure.

I'm not working with you anymore.

Oh, no?
No, it ain't

A guy's got to draw the line someplace.

Oh, well, suit yourself.
How about you?

You didn't need to get special glasses.

We've got glasses in the kitchen.

I asked, how do you feel?

You know how I feel about you.

I'm not going to leave you, honey.

Well, neither is Jinx,
only he doesn't know it yet.

No?

Just watch.

Jinx.

I was just thinking about those
three dead men in the quarry.

If they had a fourth,
they could play some bridge.

You play bridge, Jinx?

Now let's get down to business.

There's enough champagne...

Ralph, Jinx is afraid.
I'mafraid.

Not for myself,
honey, but for you.

If you don't stop
something'll happen to you.

Of course something will happen to me.

And to you too.

Tell me, do you, uh...

do you like sables?

I just like you.

Only like?

More than like.

Butalive, darling.
Alive.

Well, well, if it isn't
the richest lawyer in town

as of 5:00 this afternoon.

Sit down, we're about to pop a cork.

I want to talk to you.

Well, go ahead, talk.

Outside.

Talk to him here.

I haven't got any secrets from Holiday.

I wouldn't make book on that.

Outside.

Hmm, well?

I'll be back in a minute.

Don't let that get warm.

All right, all right.
Nowwhat is it?

Cotter, you're in a jam.

A 14-carat,
solid gold jam.

And if you'll keep your vanity

off the sidewalk for a minute

I'll be glad to tell you why.

All right,
but make it fast.

I've got a girl

and a jerobaum of champagne waiting.

Another girl and her father
just paid me a visit.

The name is Dobson.

Oh, is that all?

I thought something went wrong
with the heist this afternoon.

No, this is10,000 times worse!

Look, we can handle Weber.

We can handle Reece.

But Dobson- nobodyhandles Dobson.

I warned you the minute
he walked into the picture

I was walking out.

Yeah... but now you can't.

That's right,
I can't.

But I can protect myself even if it means

throwing you to the wolves.

And believe me,
after the way

you've behaved in this matter

nothingwould give me greater pleasure!

Cherokee, they have no claim
on me- none at all.

You married his daughter.

The marriage was annulled!

Annulled!

And that lets me out.

No it doesn't.
Dobson started digging.

And he found me.

Before he would let me go,
he made me promise

I'd produce you within the hour,
and you're going.

You've got 20 minutes
before he lets his dogs loose.

And if he does...

youwill bealone when they call.

Now, Mr. Brilliant-

get yourself out ofthisone.

Oh, Paul, I'm so glad to see you!

Rushing, would you tell Father

that Mr. Murphy's in the tap room with me?

Darling, I was nearlyfrantic.

Don't ever vanish like that again.

I didn't vanish.
I was around.

Yes, but not around me.

I can't tell you how much I missed you.

You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

But I'm being a bad hostess,
what would you like?

Nothing.

Nothing?
Are you sure?

I'm very sure.

Paul, is there some reason
for all this mystery?

Dr. Green didn't want
to tell me about Mandon

and then Mandon didn't want to tell me

about you.

You found me.

But at what a price.
I thought you'd left town.

That's one thing you can be sure of.

I won't leave town.

Tell me about Mandon.
Have you known him very long?

Just since I've been here.

He's almost an underworld
character, you know.

Really?

Really.

From now on if you have
any legal business

why don't you take it to Fred Golightly?

Miss Margaret.

Mr. Dobson is waiting.

Thank you, Rushing.

Paul... stop resenting us
for just a little while.

Please be nice to Father

and listen to what he has to say.

I've told him how wonderful you are.

So don't fight with him, hmm?

I don't want to fight with him.

All I want is to be let alone.

Well, hear him out anyway.

He may have a surprise for you.

Well, we meet again.

To coin a phrase.

And this time,
much more pleasantly.

Margaret dear

I prefer to talk to Mr. Murphy alone.

Oh, Father...

Do as your father says, Margaret.

It'll be all right.

All right, Paul- I'll wait
for you in the tap room.

Sit down, Paul.

You have quite a way with Margaret.

I tell her to go,
and she argues.

You tell her to go,
and she goes.

You know, I'd almost given up hope

of ever finding a man
that Margaret would listen to.

I assure you, I did nothing to encourage it.

You couldn't have done better

than to have shown a complete
disregard for money.

Good tactics...verygood.

Obvioustactics to use

on the daughter of a man
as rich as you are.

Unfortunately, I don't seem
to be able to convince you

that you have nothing I want.

Now look here, Paul.

All the men Margaret's
had anything to do with

wanted only the responsibility of hermoney.

Not the responsibility of thewoman.

That made them subservient.

And you can't do that with Margaret.

The minute she dominates you,
you're through.

She's got to have a man she respects.

She's young, she'll find one.

She has. You.

But you don't know anything about me.

I'm atotalstranger to you.

I might be a thief,
I might be a... convict.

I might even be a murderer.

Paul, if you are any of those things

I'll find it out eventually.

But when a drowning man reaches
for a piece of driftwood

he doesn't mind getting
splinters in his hands.

And may I point out that a
personal relationship with me

might have certain advantages
to an ambitious man.

Oh, of that I'm sure.

Just how high does your
disregard for money go?

Because the man who accepts Margaret

will also have to accept
the management of her estate.

Herestate?

Yes... I know this may come
as a surprise to you

but Margaret's fortune is greater than mine.

It was her grandmother's money.

It's been in trust for years

in the hands of some very talented bankers.

Mr. Dobson...

All I want is to be letalone.

And there's another thing.

When I found out
how Margaret felt about you

I thought I'd better hold this up.

It's the annulment petition.

You're still married,
you see.

Think it over and let me know tomorrow.

Good night, Paul.

Good night, sir.

Is this part of the tap room?

Oh! You startled me.

What did Father say?

He, uh...

made me a proposition.

And you accepted, hmm?

Well, he gave me 'till tomorrow
morning to make up my mind.

And what will you tell him tomorrow

when you've made up your mind?

Probably that I accept.

Oh, darling!

That's a pistol, isn't it?

Yes, that's a pistol.

Why are you carrying it?

Protection.

I have a permit.

Protection against what?

Hold-ups.

It's not the only reason, is it?

Of course it is.

I always thought when people carried guns

they were afraid of something.

Not necessarily.

You shouldn't have done that.

Why?

You've nothing to be afraid of anymore.

Paul, let's get away from here.

Let's get in the car and drive

and just keep on going.

For a week, a month, a year

as long as we like.

You mean right now?

This minute.

Well, we can't do it just like that.

I've got a few odds and ends

to tie together at my place

and pick up a few things...

We can pick up anything
we want on the way.

Not this we can't.

You really want to go?

More than anything in the world.

All right.

I'll do what needs doing
and, uh, be back in an hour.

I'll be waiting.

Yeah?

Paul.

Just a minute.

So you came back?

Yes, I came back to get my money.

I'm leaving.

Where's the money?

Are you?

Are you leaving?

Yes! Where's the money?

You and your rich girl?

And which direction are you going?

I'm going in all directions

and I'm taking my money with me.

While you're at it,
take this with you.

What is it?

A bullet.

I know it's a bullet.

It's got my brother's brains on it.

They dug it out of his head before

What are you talking about?

Cobbett.

Cobbett!

Tell him.

I brought the bullet down myself.

It came from the gun you had
when you made the break.

It was the only.38 that was fired.

The guards had 30-30's and.45's.

Get in the bedroom.

This is the gun he means.

The one you told me to get rid of.

The one you killed my brother with!

Now look, Holiday

you've got a wonderful set-up here.

You and Mandon and Jinx.

I'm leaving it all to you.

You can have it.

I don't want it.

I just want this next minute with you.

But you don't know
how this thing is rigged.

I sent a copy of that record to my brother.

He hasn't played it yet.

But if he doesn't hear from me
once a week, he will.

If he plays it,
he'll know what to do.

First, they'll pick up Weber.

Then they'll pick up the rest of you.

And then you'll all fall down.

Do you think I care now?

If there's anything
wrong with me, you did it.

You made me go along with you.

You changed me.

You made me just the same as you are.

And you've got nobody
to blame but yourself.

Look, Holiday,
this other girl...

That's part of it, too.

You don't know the whole story.

I was going to surprise you.

I was just over talking to her father.

Her father wants me to handle
all her money for her.

Do you realize what that can mean?

You started here with a lie

and you're going to end here with a lie.

That's Dobson's chauffeur.

He drove me over here.

They want me to spend the night
at the house

and sign the papers in the morning.

Let him in.

The room's too full as it is.

Now, Holiday, don't do anything
you'll be sorry for.

Tomorrow, everything will
be different. We'll be rich.

All I've got to do is say yes
to Dobson tomorrow.

One little word,
and we'll have millions!

You only said one true thing in your life.

And that's when you said
you were going away tonight.

And you are.

Three miles out of town and six feet down.

All alone.

With nobody to lie to.

And you can kiss tomorrow good-bye.

But now, Holiday,
listen...

You shouldn't have killed my brother!

I told you not to trust a revolver.

But I-I think I know

where I can get in touch with him.

You think you can raise him
by 3:00 tomorrow afternoon?

Oh, yes, I'm sure of that.

Well, after you've located him,
call me at headquarters.

If I'm not in,
just say Mr. Baker called.

I'll know what that means.

'Mr. Baker.'

All right, Inspector Weber.

Mr. Baker- I'll remember.

I'll remember...
I'll remember...

I'll remember...
I'll remem...

Do you recognize that
as your brother's voice?

I do.

There's no doubt in your mind?

None whatsoever.

The state rests.
