No, he's lost too much blood. He needs a
doctor.

Then why don't we just drive him to the
nearest police station?

I mean, why not kid him? That's the same
thing. Hey, kid.

Help me.

Please.

Oh, no.

Check now.

Move in.

It's all right, honey. It's all right. I
came out of the movies and some... I

was crossing the park and this man
jumped out at me.

I got away and I ran here.

35 ,000, 36 ,000 is now bid. Now going

Now at 36 to 37, 37. Thank you, sir. 37
,000 is now bid. Going at 37 ,000 at 37,

38. Four, please. Going at 37, 38.

Going at 37.

Ladies and gentlemen, Nina, I'd remind
you that this is a representative

of Klein's early abstract work and going
far, far below its market value at $37

,000. $38 ,000 for it now going at $38

Now, ladies and gentlemen, we direct
your attention to Catalog Live.

Sam Hale Galleries.

Al, that's me.

Darcy?

Yes, I had to call.

These men, they have guns and they're
going to kill me unless you help. You

to do what they say, please, Al.

Darcy, what are you talking about?

Look, we got her out here in the alley,
right out here. We're going to walk over

there now. You're going to open that
back door and let us in. You got it?

What? I can't.

You're better if you want this chick
alive.

Al, please.

All right, no alarm, no threat. We're on
our way.

All

right.

Just worry about your girlfriend.

Forget about everything else.

That guy, he came out of nowhere. I just
couldn't hold on to that stuff.

Yeah, don't sweat it, Johnny. We got
what we came for.

Yeah, right.

We got the big one.

How's it look, girl? Bad, huh?

Nah, it's nothing.

Take it easy.

Yeah, sure.

Oh, where's my baby?

Right here.

Did it, huh?

One more.

enough. We'll get married if I make it.

You're gonna make it, Johnny. You're
gonna be fine.

I'm not gonna let anything happen to
you.

On

the

afternoon of April 10th, armed robbers
invaded the storage area of a well

New York auction house, injured a guard.

and escaped with an extremely valuable
work of sculpture.

The subjects were observed fleeing the
site in a stolen panel truck.

A few hours later, the truck was
discovered abandoned in the vicinity of

Kearney, New Jersey.

Because the sculpture had been
transported across state lines, the FBI

the cave.

Worldwide interest focused on the
investigation, for the missing statue

famed Florentine woman of Andrea del
Verrocchio.

It was valued at $300 ,000.

Gentlemen, this is Inspector Erskine.
Mr. Hale and Mr.

Worsky. How do you do?

How do you do? How do you do?

We never had that happen before,
Inspector, and that's just the first day

opened our doors.

It was insured, of course.

Yes, and as I made clear to Mr. Worsky,
he will be fully compensated, at least

to the extent of a recent expert
appraisal.

The theft occurred before the piece had
a chance to come up for auction.

Yes. So now, even though some of us
think a higher price would have emerged

the bidding, who can really say?

And who cares? The dollars.

What meaning have they?

The value of the work is in the art
itself.

If you feel that way, why did you put it
up for sale?

Survival.

The need for liquid assets.

I hated to part with her.

But what is one to do under the
circumstances?

Well, there's always the chance they'll
make a ransom demand.

Yes, I don't think that would be a
problem.

Now, if you, General, will excuse me,
all this has been very unsettling.

I'd better see him out.

It might be useful to get a list of the
gallery's regular clientele. Yes, I'll

ask for a copy.

Well, we just got word about Al Linden,
the guard who was injured.

He's going to be all right, and the
doctor said we might interview him

Any word coming in on the hostage?

She's still being held by the gang.

If, in fact, she is a hostage.

According to one of the guards we just
interviewed, Lyndon only met the girl a

week or so ago.

What's her name?

Darcy Hill.

Well, let's see what the identification
vision comes up with in the truck,

Ladens.

Donnie just can't. He'll last.

Sure, he's tough. He's nothing, you
know.

No, he's lost too much blood. He needs a
doctor.

I'll get him one later.

He can't wait.

Why don't we just drive him to the
nearest police station? Why not kid him

of the same thing?

Darcy, Darcy.

Hold on, darling. It won't be much
longer.

Doctor. Kid doctor.

Hey, kid.

Please.

Oh, no.

Just check out.

We moved anything that could identify
him. You know, stuff in his pockets, his

watch, labels, all of it.

Hurry up.

Come on, get right.

What happens to the Atlanta deal now?

Now that Johnny's... We go ahead with
it.

Johnny figured he'd take all four of us.

To do it right.

He thought so, too.

Yeah, that was then.

Now I saved the job for three.

Come on, get the music, will you? Let's
cheer things up in here.

I'm okay, Inspector. Thanks.

What about Darcy? Isn't there any word
on her yet?

There is, but...

Not in the way you mean.

I'd like you to take a look at this.

Wait, it's Darcy.

But that's a mug shot.

Does that mean she has a record?

That's right.

And she wasn't really a hostage.

It was just an act, so I'd open the
door.

What do the men with her look like?

They're just a blur to me, Inspector.

She and Darcy sort of wiped everything
else out.

All I could think about was what I could
do to save her.

What a chump.

How did you meet the girl?

There's a coffee shop on 61st where I
always take my break.

One day, she sits down next to me at the
counter, asks me if the omelets are any

good. All of a sudden, we had this thing
going.

I just thought she couldn't resist me.

I knew her for ten days. We dated every
night.

Did you meet any of her friends?

No, sir, she... She told me she was new
in town, didn't know another person.

Where was she staying?

An apartment in the village, 230 West
9th.

It's a furnished place, so can you rent
by the week?

Now that I look back on it, it's almost
obvious that she was setting me up.

I mean, there was clues on top of clues,
but I never saw any of them.

Well, thanks for your help.

Hope you get well soon.

We'll have a look at the cash.

I take it Canute is the one who was
shot.

How bad is he?

He's not complaining.

We were going to work it so no one got
hurt.

My client's a little upset.

Skin off his nose.

He's afraid this shooting will put more
heat on the case.

Two times zero is zero. They don't know
where to begin.

How's it add up?

Perfect.

Well.

Appreciate you steering us out of this
deal, Strasser.

Maybe we can return the favor.

You have something in mind?

Yeah.

We're going into the oil business.

Whereabouts?

An untouched area.

Very rich.

Big potential.

You interested?

I don't see why not.

Call you in a couple of weeks.

Now, that's the way I like to do
business.

Cash on the line, no stalls, no hang
-ups, clean all around.

For everyone except Johnny.

Look, kid, this is a high -risk
business.

We all knew that coming in and we took
our chances. Three of us made it, Johnny

didn't. He would have if he'd gotten
some help.

There was nothing we could do, Darcy.

Come on, let's look at the bright side.
75 grand split three ways. That's

something to celebrate.

I want just what I went in for.

We're entitled to a piece of Johnny's
action.

That's for you two.

You're the ones who earned it.

Now wait just a minute.

Pearl, leave it alone. I'm going to put
it in place our way.

I'm glad there's nothing personal.

However, I assure you, Inspector, that I
know nothing whatever of this theft,

apart from what I have read in the
papers or heard on the newscasts. No

approached you about handling it?

Oh, you compliment me. My expertise is
now limited to teacups and Toby jugs.

I'm a merchant of clutter rather than
fine art.

Just looking around, I'd say that's hard
to believe.

Oh, there's nothing of real quality
here. Just pretty things for decorators

little old ladies.

You used to be called in to appraise
Renaissance canvases. Yes, I used to be.

Nowadays, I avoid temptations like that.
What about sculpture?

No, no, never, Inspector.

Never had the slightest interest in
sculpture.

In that case, we won't take any more of
your time.

I'm sorry I couldn't help you.

We're closing, folks.

Sorry, closing time.

We're closing.

I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
We're closing now.

You mean it's four o 'clock already? It
couldn't be. Afraid it is.

Well, I can see you don't care how I
make out in art appreciation.

You were right.

I'm cold and heartless. You don't feel
guilty?

Not really.

I know you can come back in the morning.

Well, what if I couldn't? Would you let
me stay?

Sure.

Well, I would, if it was only up to me.

But there are also two other guys on
this shift.

Starting Monday, I go back in my regular
hours.

Come on at 11 and punch out at 7 the
next morning.

Well, that's not too bad.

I mean, it does leave your days free.

Right.

Also gives me the best part of the
evening, in case I want to have dinner,

show.

When you throw someone out, you do it
very nicely.

My name is Vince. Vince Norton. I'm
Laurie.

Maybe I'll see you tomorrow.

You probably will. I've got about 70
more paintings I have to make notes on.

Okay, I'll look for you. Okay.

Lou Bay.

Mr. Lou Bay.

Yes, I'm Lou Bay.

Come in, please. Come in.

We're with the FBI.

I'm Inspector Herskin. This is Special
Agent Colby.

I hope you don't mind our walking in on
you like this. I will come in,

Inspector. Whenever I start a new work,
I need interruption.

The conceptual process is too painful.

Would you care to join me? No, thank
you.

We'd like to talk to you about the
recent theft of Verrocchio's Florentine

Woman. I don't think we would talk about
the weather.

You're considered one of the leading
authorities on Renaissance sculpture in

this country.

I studied under Claude Boulle, who
studied under Anton, who in turn was the

master of the Renaissance school.

Each time the baton was passed, I'm
afraid the music was less. But no

I have the bloodline, so voila, I'm the
authority.

How can I help you?

Well, after a theft like this, Mr.
Loubet, forgeries often turn up in the

market, sometimes commissioned by the
thieves themselves.

Yes, this will be the time.

But a whereabouts of the original is
unknown.

How many sculptors today could make a
convincing duplicate of Florentine

Besides yourself.

Well, there's only one other.

Merzinger in Zurich.

And there's no one else the thieves
could turn to?

No one of any competence.

I did hear a rumor about someone seeking
a sculptor who could do a piece

somewhat in the style of Verrocchio.

It's a phrase decorators use sometimes.

Who was it?

A man is a dealer. His name is Otto
Strasser.

He has a little showroom here in town
someplace.

Yes, we know where he is.

Thank you, Mr. LeBay.

Call it a debt, long overdue.

The maestro will rock you.

The wagon's been parked out there for
five minutes. Where you been?

Picking peaches, couldn't you hear me?

I heard some shots, that's what.

Really had me shook there for a minute.

Then I figured, who's gonna come gunning
way out here?

What was it, some kid popping at a
rabbit or something?

Rabbit, huh?

Kid popping at a rabbit.

You mean you popping at me?

Kenneth, you gone crazy?

Oh, now you're the rabbit.

You know...

I should have known this was coming. You
and Darcy, he's telegraphed it. You two

have been just a little too cozy. Ever
since Philly.

Ken, you're sick in the head.

Nothing's changed, I swear it. I'm with
you.

Yeah.

Yeah, I know, Earl.

I know.

You're just a little too much with me.

Will you listen?

It's just like I told you.

I hear the shots, I see the car. I go
charging out back. I look around through

the bushes to see if I can find you.

Or whoever's popping shots.

I don't see anyone.

So I give it up. I come back.

That's the truth, Ken. Honest.

This hasn't been fired.

I told you, Ken.

I heard shots.

I didn't squeeze any off.

You didn't.

Who did?

Hold the control.

Uh, this is McGregor.

What do you got, Allen?

The subject is taking a crate out the
back way and putting it into his truck.

Inspector Erskine Allen, what size is
it?

About two and a half feet square,
Inspector.

That looks fairly heavy.

The truck's pulling out now.

Stay with it. We'll be joining you.

I hope that wasn't too much of a drag
tonight.

Drag? It wasn't anything of the sort.

Your mom's nice.

She's a real lady.

She liked you.

You know, I could tell.

Hey, how about standing me to a cup of
coffee?

Just one and I'll split. Vincent, you
know how Mrs. Holroyd has rules about

visitors in the rooms.

Do we care?

Maybe we don't.

But what about your mom?

I'd like her to keep liking me, wouldn't
you?

Will you call me tomorrow?

Of course, Ben.

That was touching.

That routine at the door.

Like something out of the 30s.

You should have caught the dinner scene.
That was the turn of the century.

There aren't many like him left these
days.

You wouldn't be sorry about that, would
you?

I'm sorry about a lot of things.

Well, today was the big day. I got the
private, private tour of the museum. Saw

even where the curator keeps his allergy
pills.

I did up a diagram, and there are a
couple of pages of notes.

Any special problems?

Closed -circuit TV monitors, for one.

Well, Finn and I will put our heads
together.

Try working it out so no one gets shot
this time.

You're a fine baby.

Come on, I'll buy you a drink.

Buy yourself one. I'm going to sleep.

the same routine the kid got?

The guys I kiss all get hurt. Have you
noticed?

NY1 to NY12.

This is 12, Inspector.

No one has approached yet.

The subject is still on the truck.

Stand by, 12.

At last, now I can sleep.

My beauty has come home.

The theme is to start, sir.

It's been a pleasure.

Thank you, Mr. Wilkie.

F .E .I. Worsky, will you come with me,
please?

Hello?

You look all clutched up.

I almost caught it.

A couple of minutes ago.

Somebody was laying for me with 32.

You thinking what I'm thinking?

You just left her at her place, didn't
you?

Yeah, but I stopped off at a joint and
had a few.

She had plenty of time to whip back
here.

She hasn't got wheels.

Well, maybe she does. She could have
rented some like I did.

She does own a .32.

Ken, I didn't lay for you the other day,
and you didn't lay for me tonight. Now

it's got to be her.

Yeah.

We dumped Johnny. That's what did it.
She's gone bananas.

I wish she's going about this, though.

Someone tells me she's not really trying
to get us. For one thing, she hasn't

got the stomach for it. She should have
been here earlier.

But you're not bleeding, are you?

You said she was waiting for you.

Oh.

He's trying to gaslight us, Earl.

He's trying to get me to turn on you and
vice versa.

Yeah.

That wouldn't fit, I guess. It's more
her kind of thing.

Okay.

Our move was to just let it ride like
nothing happened. That way we make her

nervous.

I don't like it.

Smartie afraid of a girl?

Yeah.

When she can kill me any time she
decides to.

The key is to get all three guards away
from the TV monitors before you come in.

That's it. Only that. Only when that
control room is cleared, you go ahead

the rest of your number.

Oh, good. That must be Earl with the
truck. Okay, let me hear you run through

the sequence.

I start on the second floor with the
Rysdale and the Rouault.

Once I get them down, I go for the
Constable and the Seurat in the patrons'

room.

And if you're still busy, I'll go ahead
and get the Fragonard. If not, you'll

get it yourself.

By that time, I'll have the truck at the
back door.

It's one minute to load up, three to
drive to where the wagon's stashed, and

to make the exchange.

From then on, we're golden.

What kind of a truck did you pick up?

Dark green van.

Good, how'd you finesse it?

Just climbed in and drove it off.

I better get back to town. Yeah, listen,
make sure you don't have anything to

drink now. You want to be sharp for the
night.

Don't worry about that.

All right.

That's Johnny's.

It was.

What do you want me to do, leave it with
him?

I'm surprised you didn't end up with his
shoes.

She's building to something.

I could be, Earl. I could very well be.

Let's keep our minds on tonight.

Take care of her later.

And you can call a lawyer if you wish.

I don't think that will be necessary.

Running away didn't make much sense, did
it?

Last night, all of a sudden, the thought
of being shut up again for a second

time.

couldn't face it.

I still can't.

I still can't believe it has happened
again.

How deeply were you in this thing?

I was the middleman.

I made the arrangements up front, took
care of the payoff, and then took

delivery. Would you look at these?

See if you recognize any of them.

Johnny Canute.

He's the one who got hit.

There's the girl, Darcy.

The other two are Ken Mead and Earl
Ganey.

But I don't see them here.

Where are they?

South of Atlanta, in a house on Millgate
Road.

I was supposed to fly down tomorrow to
talk over a deal.

Obviously a reference to paintings.

There's been no report of a theft in the
area.

Atlanta is quite an arts center.
There'll be a wide selection of targets.

It could be another auction house,
museum, gallery, even a private

I'll have Atlanta put the house under
surveillance, and I'll have the New York

office contact the U .S. attorney for
warrants.

We're on our way to the airport now.

One other thing.

What about Jerome Worski?

Well, according to Strasser, he was
behind the theft, but he refuses to say

anything. And he never had any intention
of giving up the Verrocchio?

Only long enough to collect $100 ,000 in
insurance, after expenses.

All right, Lewis. I'll be in touch.

Laurie, something's happened. We're
killing you on the front.

Honey.

It's all right, honey. It's all right.

I came out of the movies and some... I
was crossing the park and this man

out at me.

I got away and I ran here.

You're not hurt, are you?

All right, easy then. Easy, easy. You're
safe now. You're with me.

But he's out there somewhere in the
bushes. No, honey, he's probably long

Right, Jen? Sure, he wouldn't stick
around.

No, he's out there. I know what he's
waiting for. I suppose I take a look,

That make you feel better? Yes.

Face down. Right here.

There. Go ahead. Down.

Hands behind your backs. Cross them.

Get the truck.

Johnny.

All right, baby.

All right, move back.

Put the stuff in there.

I thought you were dead.

I swear, Johnny, we would never have
left you. Save it.

All right, baby, get behind the wheel.

We go this way.

Hold it.

There's so much I want to say, Johnny.

We'll have time. Let's move.

A little two -room shack on the edge of
a lake with six hairy kids living there.

This guy they found me, another guy, and
four chicks.

Living on vegetables, sleeping in
bedrolls, and meditating all over the

They didn't ask any questions?

No.

They weren't even interested.

So one of the chicks knew something
nursing, and she got me straightened out

no time.

As soon as I could, I split, came down
here, staked out the museum, and I just

waited for old Kenny boy here to show
up.

Then I followed him to the house.

You were the one who took the shots at
me, isn't it, Earl?

What shots?

Yeah, what shots?

If you wanted to get us, why didn't you
just do it?

That wouldn't have been right.

You see, the real experience is thinking
about dying.

And that's the one you gave me.

There was no way of getting you to a
doctor that night, Johnny.

We just couldn't take the chance.

Well, keep talking, Kenny boy.

You are hanging yourself real good.

Johnny.

Johnny, you're not planning on...
There's nothing left to plan, baby.

It's just a matter of doing it now.

Okay,

Kenny boy, open her up.

I'll get an ambulance

Johnny, it's all your fault.

Me?

How was I supposed to know they were
waiting for us?

If I knew you were still alive, I
wouldn't have gone through with it

didn't need it.

I did, baby. I owed a couple of guys,
remember?

That's what I mean.

That's what you cared about.

And look what it got us.

Kenneth Meade recovered from his wounds.

And along with Earl Ganey, Johnny
Canute, Darcy Hill, Otto Strasser, and

Worski, was tried and found guilty in
federal court on various counts of

interstate transportation of stolen
property, conspiracy, and interstate car

theft. Meade, Strasser, and Oliver Blake
were also convicted of assaulting

federal officers.
