We're in trouble.

Shootin' bust a hundred.

We're in trouble.

Hang on.

Hey, Vink.

My name's Donaldson. I called about a half hour ago.

All right. We're checking your call now, Mr. Donaldson.

Say, I, uh... I wonder if you could do me a favor.

I cashed my paycheck this afternoon. I spent all my small bills. I need three

bucks for the cab.

What if you could take my deposit out of this and give me some singles?

Oh, sure.

Hey, is this real?

It better be.

Operator, give me the police, the FBI, somebody. I think I just shot a bank

robber.

Bobby!

Tonight's episode, Special Delivery.

I'd have the SHC of San Francisco call me the minute he gets in.

They found the car Porter stole.

He abandoned it in San Jose.

Then you were right.

He's still heading north.

Yes? Senior Resident Agent of San Jose, Mr. Erskine.

Yes, Burke?

Inspector, I am on the scene where we recovered the car Porter stole.

By the way, just got another stolen car report.

A U -drive lot here in San Jose was hit sometime late last night. There was

blood on the pavement.

You put the description out?

Yes, sir.

Tell him to be on the lookout for two or more passengers in the car. Porter's

been hurt. He's not likely to be doing all this running alone.

Yes, sir.

And alert all doctors and hospitals in the Bay Area and all the drug stores he

can reach.

Ask them to report any gunshot wounds, any queries about gunshot wounds.

And Burke, let's approach this man with extreme caution. He's got a gun and he's

not afraid to use it.

That was bugger.

Same thing.

She wants us to get out.

Give her another hundred.

I'm going to keep her mouth shut or I'll shut it for her.

Did you make the call?

Yeah.

The man said that he'd have somebody pick us up as soon as things were

Maybe this afternoon.

Bobby.

Bobby, let me look for a doctor.

No.

We could pay somebody to help.

Buy some cell phone.

Something.

Honey, what are we saving all that money for? The biggest casket in town?

We're going to spend that money. Don't you worry about that.

I'm going to buy you half of Brazil.

I don't want half of Brazil.

I want you.

Come on, stop it.

Hey.

Hey.

Tell me what we're going to do when we get down to Rio.

Huh?

Come on.

Come on. We're going to dance all night at the carnival, right?

Yeah?

And then we're going to swim all day

at Ipanema.

We're going to laugh and carry on like a couple of kids.

It's our turn now.

Now it's our turn.

Where is Robert Charles Porter, and why haven't we got him?

Well, he was last reported in San Jose. He's probably in San Francisco by now.

What do you mean, probably?

Well, that's the way he's been headed ever since he broke out of the San

Bernardino jail.

Bakersfield, Fresno, now San Jose.

And we still haven't got him.

All right.

Do you recall an embezzler named Evans?

I certainly do.

He's still in Brazil.

And a mail -order pornographer called Goddard?

Yeah, I remember him.

Sir, we just heard from the Uruguayan police.

Goddard's in Montevideo.

Both men disappeared from San Francisco.

Now they're both chained up in South America.

Is this a coincidence?

I don't think so.

Two weeks ago, the SAC San Francisco called me. Said the word was out that a

small -time hood named Ray Scott was running a package service from the west

coast of the United States to the east coast of South America.

Delivery guaranteed on anything from a stolen car to a warm body.

White slave racket, you think?

Bigger. I think the route's open now for any fugitive with the price of a

ticket. And Porter made that price in Bakersfield.

He hit that bank for over $100 ,000.

Yeah. SAC San Francisco for Mr. Erskine.

Yes, Fred. Any word on Porter?

Not yet. He had a girlfriend in San Bernardino, Linda Rodriguez.

She's missing.

We're checking now to see if she has any relatives up here.

Good. Anything happening with Ray Scott?

He's moving around, Inspector.

My contacts say something's up, but they don't know what.

Put a 24 -hour surveillance on him.

Yes, sir. Will you be coming out?

Okay. Yes, next flight.

If Porter is on an underground railroad, somebody's going to have to follow him.

You got any ideas on how to do that?

The same ones you have. Criminal intelligence operation.

Put an agent through.

Which agent?

I haven't made up my mind yet.

Yeah, well, be careful.

Lewis?

You could get your throat cut on an excursion like this.

Yes, sir.

Neighborhood gossip says she had a couple of visitors just before we got

Doesn't seem to be anyone with her now.

Inspector Erskine, Special Agent Leeds, Special Agent Harmon.

Hello, Harmon.

We found the car, incidentally, in the bay. No bodies.

Any latent prints?

Yes, sir. The Rodriguez girl was with him.

We'd have a warrant if you want to move in.

Now, I'd like to hang tight for a while, Fred.

If Porter started in the railroad, we don't want to tip our hand too soon.

Right.

Meanwhile, mail me in on Scott.

Well, for one thing, it takes a very good picture.

Raymond Atwell Scott, alias Raymond Atwell Scott Atwell John Scott.

Age 40, height 6 '1", weight 195, unmarried.

He served terms for armed robbery, ADW, transporting women for immoral purposes.

He owns this and four other model studios.

Fred, is Scott the head of the railroad, as far as you know?

We're pretty sure he isn't, as a matter of fact.

Close down Scott, it'd be like pruning a branch instead of chopping out the

root. Headquarters seem to be in the south.

There's been some talk of a man named Casey running it.

Casey.

Was that a nickname?

Could be.

Have Washington check the nickname file.

C -A -S -E -Y, initials K -C, anything to do with baseball, K -C at the bat,

that sort of thing.

Yes?

Rose.

I've seen her now.

How is Portland? Wet.

Did you find Porter yet?

He's already shipped out. He's one step behind him all the way.

What do we do now?

Now we hunt for the depot, if you've got my cover.

Yeah.

Richard Hugh Jenkins.

Uh, rent receipts, bills, uh, personal letters for the Portland address.

I planted mugshots in a record with city and state police. So here's a, here's a

rundown of local names, records, et cetera.

Money?

$50 ,000.

Safe -tracking job. Downtown furrier.

Story was killed because the insurance company suspects that there was

fraud by the owner. So they're trying to find the thief and make a deal.

Fred, will you have someone leak where the Jenkins is in town?

And what's my hotel?

Grace on Powell Street, but we got a problem.

You know, Scott's bound to check you out pretty thoroughly before he commits

himself, and that's going to take time.

If it takes too much time, Porter will be out of the country before you get

started. Now, how can we speed Scott up?

Maybe we can slow Porter down.

He's a Californian. He hasn't got any record outside of the state. We can

transport him in an open convertible.

But suppose they knew that every law enforcement officer between here and

was looking for him.

They'd take care.

They'd crawl.

There's a vacancy in the 10 Most Wanted list. Call Arthur and tell him we got a

candidate.

Won't contact you again till the end of the line. And don't blow the whistle

until I reach the number one man.

We miss him, we've missed everything.

Good luck.

You'll need it.

Mechanic Porter shot in Fresno, just died.

He's facing the gas chamber now. He'll be going for broke.

It's all right.

Look, it's me.

It's me.

You okay?

What time is it?

It's about noon.

I thought they were going to move us out before sunrise.

I know, but something happened. I don't know what.

The guy that owns this place, Dominic, he said that Scott called.

How are you feeling?

How do I look?

That's bad you couldn't feel.

Just don't die on me. Then get us out of here.

We're working on it. It's kind of complicated.

What's complicated?

Fix him a place in a station wagon where he can lie down and keep us up the main

roads. John Doe could go in a station wagon.

Mr. Bigshot here, though, he's got to go special delivery.

That is, if he goes at all.

What do you mean, if I go at all?

Casey wanted to dump you.

Paul, you try to back out of this deal and I'll take you apart like a $2 watch.

All right, all right.

Don't get excited.

Scott talked Casey out of it.

But maybe you don't want to pay.

I never knew anybody who had his name on it. You've been paid.

Down payment.

$20 ,000 more.

Forget it.

I think you're smart.

I'll call Scott.

Wait a minute.

Give him the money.

Give him the money.

Ten dollars. We'll do the processing.

Group session's just started. Straight through the drapes.

Ray's got around.

Who?

Look, Charlie, I've come a long way, and I'm tired.

A friend.

What's your name?

Smith.

Don't be shy, Mac. Come on in.

This clerk said you were out.

Can't trust anybody these days.

My name's Scott.

You Jenkins?

Smith.

I meant Smith. Slip of the tongue.

Who told you about my studio?

Dave LaSalle.

When?

When I met him in Seattle around Thanksgiving.

Dave was a good friend of Eli Goddard.

You wouldn't mind if I contacted Dave, would you?

I wouldn't mind if you contacted George Washington.

They're both dead. Dave got his in a bank job in Vancouver December 3rd.

Convenient for your story.

Mac, if you hadn't checked my story six ways to Christmas, you wouldn't be here.

What did you want to see me about?

Maybe I want a job.

Maybe I want to meet some girls.

You're the one who came busting in.

What do you want to see me about?

Quit it.

You're running, and I can help you.

How about a nice vacation in South America, all expenses paid?

$5 ,000.

When do you want to leave?

Suppose I said now.

Can't do it.

Takes too long to get things through. Time is what I'd be buying, Mac.

Either you ship me out tonight or let's call the whole deal off.

Let's call the whole deal off.

let's stop bargaining you'd come to my studio tomorrow i'd say no and then i'll

come to see you the next day and back and forth and back and forth like you

you're buying time ten thousand dollars you leave by boxcar tonight boxcar

so it isn't neat take it or leave it

Are you kidding?

He can't ride in a thing like this. I'm tired of arguing with you, lady. You

don't like the accommodations?

Fine.

Get the streamline.

Come on.

Bobby.

Bobby, why don't we call it off?

We could go back to my aunt's place.

You saw the paper. Every two -bit patrolman on this brother's gonna be

for me.

We're boxed in.

Come on and help us.

Well, Mr. Smith.

Hello, Mac.

We got another customer, Eddie.

Not much room in there.

Told you he'll squeeze in.

Mr. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Jones.

Hi.

Hi.

You two had a friend in common, did you know that?

Dave LaSalle.

You knew Dave?

Yeah, I know him.

Where are you from?

Portland. You're kidding.

That's a great town.

I love that town.

Bobby, where was that driver you used to take?

Remember to see the lights on the river?

Oh, you know, on the west side in the hills.

Oh. Yeah.

We'd end up in Beaverton. Yeah.

Where was the name of that street?

On the west side.

Yeah.

It's almost one o 'clock, Ray.

Right.

We're going to leave you now.

You'll hook into the main freight at 4 .30.

Mr. Jones checked his gun with us, Mr. Smith. We'd like you to do the same.

You'll get it back when you're back in Rio.

I hope you all have a pleasant trip.

Good night and good luck.

Yes, sir. It's 1 .30 now. Our man can report to you in an hour.

Yes, he has experience as a brakeman and an engineer.

His name is Gonzalez.

Yes, sir.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Dispatcher says they'll pick up the Sea Prince's car at 4 .30.

Destination, Sea Prince's warehouse, El Paso.

Gonzalez, you'll stay with the car all the way. Yes, sir.

Fred, we'd better have a man at every stop just in case they decide to break

out earlier. Right.

I'll see you in El Paso.

Bye.

Matt? I thought of the name of that street, yeah?

No, I haven't.

I have.

Well, good for you. You got the gold star.

You'd probably know it if you heard it, wouldn't you, Smith?

Was it... Harkington?

Never heard of Tarkington.

Terwilliger?

Yeah, that's it.

Yeah, that's it.

Now, could you stand it if I got some sleep?

Your arm asleep?

Is it still there?

Yeah, how about some water?

Would you pour some on this?

Your shoulder looks pretty bad.

I'm scared to death it's infected.

How did it happen?

I forget.

Why don't you get up and move around a little?

You won't run away.

I wonder where we are.

Can I tell you where our first stop would be?

They didn't tell us anything.

Except to ante up more money when we... Oh, well.

It's over and done with.

What, your payments? They haven't even begun yet.

I know the pattern.

We'd be lucky if the three of us got to Brazil with ten cents between us.

They wouldn't do that to Bobby.

They know he'd pay him back.

Without a gun?

Lynn?

Don't let me catch you near her again.

Bobby, he wasn't doing... They got the gun, but they missed this. Now you come

near her again and I'll cut your heart out.

like we're coming into a city.

Lynn?

Stay away from him.

Bobby, what's wrong with you?

What was he asking you back there when you two were talking?

Nothing important. Why?

How come all the time I spent in Portland I never went across this

Because it's a big town.

Yeah. Oh, baby, you're worn out. Now go to sleep and stop worrying.

Look, the guy wants to get out of the country like we do.

Now why else would he put himself through all of this?

That's what I mean to find out.

You're kind of close in here.

Smith, my name is Woods.

Where are we?

El Paso.

Yeah, what's next, Mexico?

The flight plan they gave me said Beaumont.

Flight?

Especially charted.

Just for you.

Oh, by the way, your tickets are $25 ,000.

Twenty?

A piece.

You filthy leech.

Do you know what I went through to get that money?

Keep it.

I'm offering you a service. You don't have to buy.

You leech.

Leech.

Mr. Smith?

Leech.

It's our chance.

Listen to me.

Please.

$25 ,000.

Thank you the car is outside

Come on, Bobby.

Surveillance to 17.

They've just come out and they're driving away.

Is that real?

Yes.

Yes, go to sleep.

I'm sorry about before.

Bobby isn't usually like this.

He knows I'd never play anyone.

But he woke up alone and it scared him.

He's awfully sick.

He mustn't die.

He... You two have been together for a long time?

All our lives.

Bobby lived next door.

My... My mother had this baseball bat.

used to get drunk.

Bobby used to hide me.

And we'd sit in the cellar in the dirt and listen to her yelling around

We'd tell each other about all the clean, pretty places we were going to

when we grew up.

What about your father?

Which father?

My mother had a new husband each year.

In fact, all the women in the neighborhood did.

Men around there were like geese on a pond.

Come winter and off they'd fly.

Bobby's different.

The only time he's ever been away from me was when he was in jail.

He's reliable.

I think that's why I love him.

You call him reliable?

He could have set out for Brazil alone, like you.

But he didn't.

He wanted me with him.

I hope he makes it.

He'll make it.

They said they'd get him a doctor when they got to New Orleans.

New Orleans?

I heard Bobby and Woods talking before.

About what?

Well, Bobby told Woods that...

That you didn't know enough about Portland.

That he should call and check out your story.

Wood said they'd know by the time we got to New Orleans.

I wonder how much farther it'll be.

I'll ask him.

Hey.

How far to Beaumont?

About 4 ,000 feet down, five miles back.

You mean that was Beaumont?

That's right.

But I thought you... Don't think, Mr. Smith, huh?

Just leave that to your tour directors.

The plane landed here in Beaumont ten minutes ago.

Nobody on board but the pilot.

How did the airport calculate the amount of extra fuel he used?

Tailwinds or headwinds? Yes, I've done that, sir.

They tell me he apparently passed Beaumont, so we're looking for a landing

now big enough to accommodate that particular plane.

Any word yet on the Casey nickname?

Yeah, too much. I've got a hundred leads to check out between New Orleans and

Miami, but it sounds as though you're on the right track, so proceed ahead just

as fast as you can.

Yes, sir. We'll find him.

Yes, sir.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Don't look any too chipper, does he?

He'll make it.

Friend's dying.

I know.

Is there a doctor around here?

None to trust.

If I was going to be by to pick you up for long, you might know of a doctor in

New Orleans.

Hey, get down from there.

Hey, new boy, get down from there. Go on.

Break a leg, they'd sue me for every nickel I got.

Go on home.

Didn't you ever lose a kite when you were a boy, Burton?

I'll get it for him.

Mr. Smith!

Well, he's seen you now anyway.

Tell him you're a cotton buyer if he asks.

If he probably won't, I know him. He's a dumb one.

Wait a minute. Don't be afraid of me.

Here, I'll get your kite for you.

Here we go.

Listen to me, son.

You got a phone at your house?

Call the FBI. Tell them that Porter is here.

Understand?

manners. I'll bet he didn't even thank you.

I told you he was a dumb one.

Oh, here's Casey.

Last lap going up.

Casey will drive you on down New Orleans and ship you out in his boat.

Burton, is there a tourist?

One of them. Other two are inside.

Get them.

Let's go.

Mrs. Patterson?

FBI.

Well, you got here quick.

Yes, ma 'am.

Well, I...

I don't know if the boy's lying or what, but I thought I'd better call.

You say this porter's a bank robber? Yes, ma 'am, he is. Are they still at

Burton place?

No. No boy says he's seen them leave in a truck, heading south, down towards the

New Orleans highway.

What kind of truck, ma 'am?

Well, it's the regular kind of truck. Comes by here all the time. Picks up the

bail cot and totes it on down to New Orleans.

I think it's a case and cruise company.

Okay. Yeah, you know that Central American export -import outfit?

I think it's really Casey Cruise.

Casey Cruise.

Want some water?

I love you.

And I love you.

Tell him.

Tell him what we're going to do.

Get your meal.

Bobby. Please.

We're going to spend the whole day at Ipanema.

And then we're going to laugh and carry on like a couple of kids.

Because it's our turn now.

Our turn now.

Any water left?

Yes.

How is he?

He's fine.

It's gonna be all right.

You can't wait till New Orleans.

They may not have one there anyway.

Yes, they will. They promised. They promised.

What good were their promises about the price of this trip?

Listen, I think I know a way to stop the truck.

Why would you want to stop the truck?

For Bobby?

Or for you?

Who are you?

What difference does it make?

Please.

Listen to me.

Brazil is out.

Maybe a week before the boat sails.

He never lived long enough to get there.

Look at him.

All right, I do need help. So do you, so does he.

You've got to stop this truck before it gets to New Orleans.

No. No, he'd go to jail.

Well, at least he might go to jail alive.

What would it do?

Ask him to look at your friend.

Put it back to me.

Hey.

My friend is awfully sick.

Could we stop and get a doctor?

Well, could you come and look at him?

Please.

Good. All right, Gene. Thanks a lot.

Well, that wraps it up.

They got the lot of them from Scott to Casey.

What about the girl? What's going to happen to her?

She was guilty of aiding and harboring a fugitive.

Strange woman.

Intelligent. Good looking.

He thinks you could have done a lot better than a guy like Porter.

He didn't want to do better than Porter.

She was in love with him.

Oh,

I have the teletype here from SAC Richmond.
