2
00:02:00,621 --> 00:02:02,456
We'll be at the airport
in about twenty minutes.
3
00:02:02,748 --> 00:02:04,916
That'll put us in Las Vegas about 2:30.
4
00:02:05,667 --> 00:02:07,252
We're going after Granger,
aren't we, lieutenant?
5
00:02:07,544 --> 00:02:08,378
That's right.
6
00:02:08,670 --> 00:02:09,921
What's the charge?
7
00:02:10,464 --> 00:02:11,340
Murder.
8
00:02:12,799 --> 00:02:14,718
What happens to a guy like Granger?
9
00:02:15,010 --> 00:02:16,345
I don't know.
10
00:02:16,637 --> 00:02:18,013
Too much ambition maybe.
11
00:02:18,305 --> 00:02:20,182
Too many brains working
in the wrong direction.
12
00:02:20,766 --> 00:02:22,184
Or maybe it's glandular.
13
00:02:22,934 --> 00:02:24,269
Step on it. We're late.
14
00:02:26,730 --> 00:02:28,273
Carter wanted to talk.
15
00:02:28,565 --> 00:02:31,026
But what could I tell him
about the real Mal Granger?
16
00:02:31,318 --> 00:02:33,153
And I knew him better than most.
17
00:02:33,445 --> 00:02:35,322
He was in the racing wire
service racket.
18
00:02:35,739 --> 00:02:38,116
But he started out
just like anybody else.
19
00:02:38,408 --> 00:02:39,701
He wasn't a criminal.
20
00:02:40,202 --> 00:02:42,704
He was just a guy working
for the telephone company.
21
00:02:45,666 --> 00:02:47,959
I just wish I could lay my hands on
Don Ameche for a while.
22
00:02:48,251 --> 00:02:49,753
I'd teach him to invent the telephone.
23
00:02:50,921 --> 00:02:53,590
I've always had a secret desire
to cross up some of these wires.
24
00:02:53,882 --> 00:02:55,509
Get all the wrong people
talking to each other.
25
00:02:57,469 --> 00:02:59,346
Might be interesting at that.
26
00:02:59,805 --> 00:03:01,723
Oh, lady, lady.
27
00:03:02,766 --> 00:03:04,393
What are you so quiet about?
28
00:03:04,685 --> 00:03:05,727
Bessie's sick again.
29
00:03:06,019 --> 00:03:08,480
Every time we get almost caught up,
one of the kids gets sick.
30
00:03:08,772 --> 00:03:09,231
Kaplooey.
31
00:03:09,523 --> 00:03:10,232
I don't see how you do it.
32
00:03:10,524 --> 00:03:12,275
Take care of a wife and a couple of kids
on our dough.
33
00:03:12,567 --> 00:03:14,528
I can't even handle myself
on that chicken feed.
34
00:03:14,820 --> 00:03:15,404
It's tough, Mal.
35
00:03:15,696 --> 00:03:17,698
If it wasn't for a couple of bets
now and then, I'd never make it.
36
00:03:17,989 --> 00:03:19,116
Here.
37
00:03:19,408 --> 00:03:20,450
There's twenty bucks that's not working.
38
00:03:20,742 --> 00:03:22,994
No thanks, Mal. If I need it at the end
of the week, I'll let you know.
39
00:03:23,286 --> 00:03:25,372
By the end of the week I may not
have it. You better take it now.
40
00:03:25,664 --> 00:03:26,373
Gee, thanks, Mal.
41
00:03:26,665 --> 00:03:27,833
Tessie's gonna love you for this.
42
00:03:28,125 --> 00:03:29,751
Yeah? My bookie's gonna hate me.
43
00:03:30,043 --> 00:03:31,461
- See you at lunch.
- Right.
44
00:03:34,381 --> 00:03:35,757
Forget about those daily doubles, bud.
45
00:03:36,049 --> 00:03:37,008
Thanks.
46
00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:39,344
- Say, how about mine?
- Hello, Bill.
47
00:03:39,636 --> 00:03:42,264
Six forty and twelve thirty.
Eighteen seventy I owe you.
48
00:03:42,556 --> 00:03:42,973
Well, finally.
49
00:03:43,265 --> 00:03:44,516
Stick with me, kid, you get nothing
but winners.
50
00:03:44,808 --> 00:03:46,101
Ah, that was yesterday.
51
00:03:46,768 --> 00:03:48,687
- Hi Jack.
- Hi Chippie. 22.
52
00:03:48,979 --> 00:03:51,565
Ought to start breaking for you soon.
A guy can't play tough luck all the time
53
00:03:51,857 --> 00:03:53,483
I'll believe it when you
begin to pay off.
54
00:03:53,775 --> 00:03:55,527
It'll be a pleasure. Here.
55
00:03:55,819 --> 00:03:57,195
Scratch sheet on the house.
56
00:03:57,487 --> 00:03:59,197
Something in there might really pay off.
57
00:03:59,489 --> 00:04:00,657
- Hi, Chippie.
- Hi, Mal.
58
00:04:00,949 --> 00:04:02,367
- How's the banking business?
- Fine.
59
00:04:02,659 --> 00:04:05,370
All right, how much do I owe you?
And slug me gently, will you?
60
00:04:05,662 --> 00:04:06,329
Forty even.
61
00:04:06,621 --> 00:04:07,956
You ought to start playing
some chalk horses.
62
00:04:08,248 --> 00:04:09,541
Too many of those long shots run out.
63
00:04:09,833 --> 00:04:11,585
I don't get any bang out of those
even money payoffs.
64
00:04:11,877 --> 00:04:13,545
For me, it's boxcars or nothing.
65
00:04:13,837 --> 00:04:15,005
'Course this week it's nothing.
66
00:04:15,297 --> 00:04:17,048
But, if you can carry me
till Saturday, little man.
67
00:04:17,340 --> 00:04:19,092
Sure, Mal, anytime.
68
00:04:19,384 --> 00:04:21,386
You know me, Chippie.
69
00:04:21,678 --> 00:04:24,264
I don't see why a guy like you
should always be broke.
70
00:04:24,848 --> 00:04:26,767
Why, if I had your...
71
00:04:28,769 --> 00:04:30,687
Hey-
72
00:04:30,979 --> 00:04:32,939
How about having a cup of coffee
with me?
73
00:04:33,231 --> 00:04:34,608
Well, you're buying I hope.
74
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:36,777
- Sure.
- All right.
75
00:04:37,486 --> 00:04:38,779
Two coffees.
76
00:04:39,070 --> 00:04:39,988
Right.
77
00:04:40,572 --> 00:04:42,324
Say uh...
78
00:04:42,616 --> 00:04:44,117
You wouldn't want to carry me
for another five, would you?
79
00:04:44,409 --> 00:04:45,994
I like Big Day in the sixth at Aubrey.
80
00:04:46,286 --> 00:04:47,078
- Big Day?
- Yeah.
81
00:04:47,370 --> 00:04:48,371
- 10 to 1, huh?
- Yeah.
82
00:04:48,663 --> 00:04:50,499
It ain't the money, Mal, it's just that
he don't look so good.
83
00:04:50,791 --> 00:04:52,793
All I can lose is five bucks
and if it wins, I break even.
84
00:04:53,084 --> 00:04:54,628
How about it, Chippie?
85
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,129
Five straight on Big Day.
86
00:04:56,421 --> 00:04:58,465
You know the only good thing
about putting bets on these?
87
00:04:58,757 --> 00:05:01,343
I don't get indigestion swallowing them
every time a cop walks in.
88
00:05:02,511 --> 00:05:04,471
You know, kid, if I were you,
I'd lay off the races.
89
00:05:04,763 --> 00:05:05,931
That's the sucker's end of the racket.
90
00:05:06,515 --> 00:05:08,517
All right, so maybe I'm losing
a customer.
91
00:05:08,809 --> 00:05:10,727
But you're the kind of guy that's always
on the prowl for a fast buck.
92
00:05:11,019 --> 00:05:12,020
And you're not going to make it
off the ponies.
93
00:05:12,312 --> 00:05:14,064
How do you know? I might hit a streak.
Other guys have.
94
00:05:14,356 --> 00:05:15,941
You're still taking the odds, Mal.
95
00:05:16,233 --> 00:05:18,568
You ought to be able to turn a buck on
the side if you really need money.
96
00:05:18,860 --> 00:05:19,820
Lend me a nickel, will you?
97
00:05:20,111 --> 00:05:21,446
Here you are working for peanuts.
98
00:05:21,738 --> 00:05:23,657
When you got something up there
that's worth a million bucks.
99
00:05:23,949 --> 00:05:24,825
Yeah?
100
00:05:25,242 --> 00:05:27,828
Anytime you figure a way I can
put it in the bank, I'll believe it.
101
00:05:28,119 --> 00:05:29,746
You could be rolling in dough.
102
00:05:30,038 --> 00:05:32,666
You got a know-how with
telephones and electronics
103
00:05:32,958 --> 00:05:34,292
that's worth plenty to the right guy.
104
00:05:34,709 --> 00:05:37,128
Dames, clothes, automobiles,
105
00:05:37,420 --> 00:05:39,422
You could have anything you want, kid,
if you knew the right guy.
106
00:05:39,714 --> 00:05:40,799
You said that before.
107
00:05:41,091 --> 00:05:42,217
I know the right guy, Mal.
108
00:05:42,509 --> 00:05:43,301
He needs help.
109
00:05:43,593 --> 00:05:45,470
So why shouldn't you be the guy
that makes the buck?
110
00:05:46,137 --> 00:05:48,890
His name is Vince Wallace.
He runs the Tri-State Press.
111
00:05:49,474 --> 00:05:51,101
I'll give you a run down on him
in a minute.
112
00:05:51,393 --> 00:05:52,811
I want to get your bet in
before post time.
113
00:06:03,864 --> 00:06:05,323
Hello, Moe?
114
00:06:05,615 --> 00:06:06,575
Chippie.
115
00:06:06,867 --> 00:06:08,702
What's the last post
for the sixth at Aubrey?
116
00:06:09,369 --> 00:06:10,620
4:20?
117
00:06:11,621 --> 00:06:14,583
Five to win on Big Day for Mal G.
118
00:06:15,083 --> 00:06:16,209
Yeah, that's all.
119
00:06:23,341 --> 00:06:25,385
Well, now that I owe you another fin,
I guess I have to listen to you.
120
00:06:25,677 --> 00:06:27,929
All right, what is it that I've got that
this Wallace can't leave alone?
121
00:06:28,221 --> 00:06:29,973
This Tri-State is a wire service.
122
00:06:30,265 --> 00:06:32,017
It furnishes bookmakers with
all the dope for every race.
123
00:06:32,309 --> 00:06:33,226
Direct from the track.
124
00:06:33,643 --> 00:06:35,562
Would you like to see how
the other half lives?
125
00:06:36,730 --> 00:06:37,939
Yeah.
126
00:06:54,372 --> 00:06:55,749
Hey-
127
00:06:56,583 --> 00:06:57,959
Are they kidding?
128
00:07:04,132 --> 00:07:05,342
- Hello, Jake.
- Hi.
129
00:07:05,634 --> 00:07:07,510
Got a man for the golden furnace.
- Okay.
130
00:07:45,340 --> 00:07:46,716
I tell you the wire broke down.
131
00:07:47,008 --> 00:07:48,843
Can I help it if we were late
with the prices?
132
00:07:49,135 --> 00:07:50,762
Nothing but beefs.
133
00:07:51,054 --> 00:07:54,349
Half the time they're so drunk
you don't know what race is going.
134
00:07:54,641 --> 00:07:56,393
What can I do for you, Chippie?
- Nothing.
135
00:07:56,685 --> 00:07:57,936
We're gonna do something for you.
136
00:07:58,228 --> 00:08:00,146
This is Mal Granger, Vince Wallace.
- How are you?
137
00:08:00,438 --> 00:08:02,190
Mel's with the telephone company.
138
00:08:02,482 --> 00:08:04,442
He's smart and knows electronics.
139
00:08:04,734 --> 00:08:06,236
- Telephone company, huh?
- Yeah.
140
00:08:06,528 --> 00:08:07,988
I'm glad to know you Granger.
141
00:08:08,279 --> 00:08:10,115
Can I buy you a drink?
- No thanks. I don't drink in the daytime
142
00:08:10,407 --> 00:08:11,449
I get into enough trouble without it.
143
00:08:11,741 --> 00:08:12,450
Don't let him kid you.
144
00:08:12,742 --> 00:08:14,619
Aside from liking the ponies,
Mail's a steady citizen.
145
00:08:14,911 --> 00:08:16,413
I'm glad you came, Granger.
146
00:08:16,705 --> 00:08:18,665
Ever seen a layout like this before?
- No.
147
00:08:18,957 --> 00:08:20,125
I'll show you around.
148
00:08:22,210 --> 00:08:25,046
A bookmaker can't exist
without race results.
149
00:08:25,338 --> 00:08:27,799
Right now the only wire service in town
is my outfit.
150
00:08:28,091 --> 00:08:29,926
You see that telegraph key?
151
00:08:30,218 --> 00:08:32,095
That's the backbone of the whole racket.
152
00:08:32,554 --> 00:08:35,598
You see, my wire service is legitimate.
153
00:08:37,017 --> 00:08:38,685
There's no law against selling
this information to anybody.
154
00:08:39,269 --> 00:08:41,062
Those guys are talking to
bookmakers right now.
155
00:08:41,354 --> 00:08:42,439
That's live dope.
156
00:08:42,731 --> 00:08:44,190
We charge them plenty.
157
00:08:44,482 --> 00:08:46,151
They get a running description
of everything
158
00:08:46,443 --> 00:08:48,069
that's taking place at all the tracks.
159
00:08:48,361 --> 00:08:52,240
The last odds, jockey changes,
scratches, post and off time,
160
00:08:53,199 --> 00:08:55,243
The actual running of the race
and the results.
161
00:08:55,535 --> 00:08:57,412
All with split second timing.
162
00:08:57,871 --> 00:09:00,749
Of course, some of the tracks
don't help us any but...
163
00:09:01,041 --> 00:09:02,625
We've got ways of getting
the information out
164
00:09:02,917 --> 00:09:03,585
whether they like it or not.
165
00:09:03,877 --> 00:09:04,377
I get it.
166
00:09:04,669 --> 00:09:07,714
But if it was my outfit, I wouldn't want
to rely on a one lung setup like this.
167
00:09:08,006 --> 00:09:09,132
Too many things can go wrong.
168
00:09:09,424 --> 00:09:10,425
You're telling me.
169
00:09:10,717 --> 00:09:12,052
Come on back to the office a minute.
170
00:09:12,343 --> 00:09:13,553
Close the door, Chippie.
171
00:09:13,845 --> 00:09:15,638
What I want to do is expand.
172
00:09:15,930 --> 00:09:17,057
That's where the real gravy lies.
173
00:09:17,348 --> 00:09:18,099
Let me show you something.
174
00:09:18,516 --> 00:09:20,852
Right now, there isn't a bigger outfit
in the whole state.
175
00:09:21,144 --> 00:09:23,688
So, the first guy that comes along
and gives bang up results
176
00:09:23,980 --> 00:09:25,023
is gonna make a hat full.
177
00:09:25,315 --> 00:09:27,317
There are hundreds of bookmakers
in every one of these towns.
178
00:09:27,609 --> 00:09:30,195
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland,
179
00:09:30,487 --> 00:09:33,364
Sacramento, Stockton, Fresno, San Diego.
180
00:09:33,823 --> 00:09:35,658
Are you really hep to electronics?
181
00:09:35,950 --> 00:09:37,035
I know what I'm doing.
182
00:09:37,327 --> 00:09:39,788
What I need is a way to
distribute my information
183
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,706
all over the state at the same time.
184
00:09:41,998 --> 00:09:43,333
It would cost you dough
but you could do it.
185
00:09:43,625 --> 00:09:44,918
Did you ever hear of relay amplifiers?
186
00:09:45,210 --> 00:09:45,960
Relay amplifier?
187
00:09:46,252 --> 00:09:48,421
Yeah, that's a new gadget that was
developed so people in different cities
188
00:09:48,713 --> 00:09:50,715
could listen in to a telephone
conference at the same time.
189
00:09:51,007 --> 00:09:53,009
Could you set one up for me so it would
work right out of L.A.?
190
00:09:53,301 --> 00:09:54,010
Oh, sure.
191
00:09:54,302 --> 00:09:57,180
You could run wires right out of this
basement to any city you wanted.
192
00:09:57,472 --> 00:09:59,224
Then the bookies in the other cities
could get the results
193
00:09:59,516 --> 00:10:00,809
just like the guys
in the next room here.
194
00:10:01,101 --> 00:10:01,601
Good.
195
00:10:01,893 --> 00:10:04,229
I'd get rid of that telegrapher and
set up a teletype system.
196
00:10:04,521 --> 00:10:06,773
Then you have a guy at a microphone
broadcast the results
197
00:10:07,065 --> 00:10:09,109
just like a regular news broadcast
from a radio station.
198
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,236
Get the equipment and
set it up for me like that
199
00:10:11,528 --> 00:10:13,404
and it's worth $125 a week to you.
200
00:10:13,696 --> 00:10:15,573
Just as technical man
to keep it running.
201
00:10:18,535 --> 00:10:19,828
I'll make it a hundred and fifty.
202
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,246
Is it a deal?
203
00:10:21,538 --> 00:10:23,289
I always knew there was some way
to beat the races.
204
00:10:23,581 --> 00:10:25,041
- That'll do for now.
- Good.
205
00:10:25,333 --> 00:10:27,418
One of you guys better count
your fingers. Hello, Chippie.
206
00:10:27,710 --> 00:10:29,462
Sorry to be late, Vince. There was
a little trouble at the bank.
207
00:10:29,754 --> 00:10:30,755
They didn't like some of those checks.
208
00:10:31,047 --> 00:10:32,048
More bum checks, huh?
209
00:10:32,340 --> 00:10:33,591
Mal Granger, Trudy Maxwell.
210
00:10:33,883 --> 00:10:34,592
- How are you?
- Hi.
211
00:10:34,884 --> 00:10:36,427
He's going to put in
a few improvements around here.
212
00:10:36,719 --> 00:10:38,680
You mean like fresh air?
I'm beginning to feel like a termite
213
00:10:38,972 --> 00:10:40,306
working out of this basement
all the time.
214
00:10:40,598 --> 00:10:42,016
Yeah, you could stand
a little air conditioning.
215
00:10:42,308 --> 00:10:44,394
When I have time, you might give me
your ideas on the subject.
216
00:10:44,686 --> 00:10:46,062
You've got a new approach.
217
00:10:46,354 --> 00:10:49,149
First guy I ever met that made
air conditioning sound like etchings.
218
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:50,483
I've got things to do, Mal
219
00:10:50,775 --> 00:10:52,652
You'll start work tomorrow, huh?
The faster, the better.
220
00:10:52,944 --> 00:10:54,821
You can say that again.
Nice to have met you, Vince.
221
00:10:55,488 --> 00:10:56,614
It was my pleasure.
222
00:10:56,906 --> 00:10:58,533
- Goodbye.
- So long.
223
00:11:24,976 --> 00:11:26,436
That's a good dinner, isn't it?
224
00:11:26,728 --> 00:11:27,896
The steaks are delicious.
225
00:11:28,188 --> 00:11:30,064
And to think, three hours ago
I was a wage slave.
226
00:11:30,356 --> 00:11:31,733
- You ought to get rid of that.
- Uh-uh.
227
00:11:32,025 --> 00:11:34,194
I still can't figure out why you
quit the phone company.
228
00:11:34,485 --> 00:11:36,446
Honey, I got to thinking.
Are telephones here to stay?
229
00:11:36,738 --> 00:11:39,365
Sure, they're here to stay.
You were doing fine with the company.
230
00:11:39,657 --> 00:11:41,743
I was already beginning
to make a few plans.
231
00:11:42,035 --> 00:11:43,953
Yeah? What kind of plans?
232
00:11:44,245 --> 00:11:46,247
You know. I thought maybe
after your next raise...
233
00:11:46,539 --> 00:11:48,166
Honey, there's nothing wrong
with your plans.
234
00:11:48,458 --> 00:11:50,418
You just got the wrong guy.
- What do you mean?
235
00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:53,213
You just hang on to your plans, baby,
but let go of me.
236
00:11:53,504 --> 00:11:55,131
How are your plans... for tonight?
237
00:12:05,433 --> 00:12:06,476
Hey-
238
00:12:06,768 --> 00:12:08,061
What are they doing here?
239
00:12:08,353 --> 00:12:09,729
Excuse us.
240
00:12:13,942 --> 00:12:16,194
This is another one of Vince's angles.
241
00:12:16,486 --> 00:12:18,029
He runs a check cashing service
for bookmakers.
242
00:12:18,321 --> 00:12:19,822
He's sharp, all right.
243
00:12:20,114 --> 00:12:22,367
I'm telling you right now,
I won't discount any more
244
00:12:22,659 --> 00:12:23,451
checks at the old rate.
245
00:12:23,743 --> 00:12:25,954
If you want to duck income tax,
you get eighty cents on a buck
246
00:12:26,246 --> 00:12:27,288
for every stiff and no more.
247
00:12:27,580 --> 00:12:28,039
It's not that, Vince.
248
00:12:28,331 --> 00:12:30,291
He can't keep up the payments
on the 3,000 you advanced him.
249
00:12:30,583 --> 00:12:31,960
It ain't my fault, Mr. Walters.
250
00:12:32,252 --> 00:12:34,462
I only borrowed that dough because I
went overboard. I couldn't pay off.
251
00:12:34,754 --> 00:12:37,340
So what? I want my dough
and the interest.
252
00:12:37,757 --> 00:12:39,550
If you can't keep up your payments,
I'll cut you off the service.
253
00:12:39,842 --> 00:12:41,302
If you do that, I'm out of business.
254
00:12:41,594 --> 00:12:43,596
I gotta have that service, Mr. Walters.
255
00:12:43,888 --> 00:12:45,765
If you could only give me a little time.
256
00:12:46,307 --> 00:12:47,892
I'll give you one week.
257
00:12:48,184 --> 00:12:51,104
Thanks, Mr. Walters, thanks. I'll...
- Get out.
258
00:12:54,857 --> 00:12:57,235
For ten percent interest,
you have to expect a little trouble.
259
00:12:57,527 --> 00:12:59,445
We got 3,600 in stiffs yesterday.
260
00:12:59,737 --> 00:13:03,116
Yes, but you can't make any dough
playing handball with rubber checks.
261
00:13:09,580 --> 00:13:11,374
I want to see a girl about a boy.
262
00:13:15,712 --> 00:13:18,798
I was feeling a little corny just now
and couldn't resist coming over
263
00:13:19,090 --> 00:13:20,842
to tell you what a small world
I think it is.
264
00:13:21,134 --> 00:13:23,136
Oh yes, you're new little boy we hired
265
00:13:23,428 --> 00:13:25,179
to string wires up around the place.
- That's right.
266
00:13:25,471 --> 00:13:28,141
I'm also very good at filling in
when people's dates don't show up.
267
00:13:28,433 --> 00:13:29,350
Mine always do.
268
00:13:29,642 --> 00:13:32,770
I'm sure they do. But I thought maybe
you had a daughter around my age.
269
00:13:33,062 --> 00:13:34,147
What do you want?
270
00:13:34,439 --> 00:13:36,482
We're getting up a game
of hopscotch tonight and
271
00:13:36,774 --> 00:13:37,859
could you play on my side?
272
00:13:38,151 --> 00:13:39,569
You're wasting your breath, Granger.
273
00:13:39,861 --> 00:13:41,863
Trudy's all business.
Believe me, I know.
274
00:13:42,155 --> 00:13:43,865
You sound like an adding machine.
- Hello, Mr. Walters.
275
00:13:44,157 --> 00:13:46,159
I only dropped over
because I had an idea.
276
00:13:46,451 --> 00:13:48,286
Chippie tells me that Trudy
works the races for you.
277
00:13:48,578 --> 00:13:50,747
And I thought maybe I ought to go
out there with her and uh...
278
00:13:51,039 --> 00:13:52,081
See just what the setup is.
279
00:13:52,373 --> 00:13:53,541
You can do that later.
280
00:13:53,833 --> 00:13:55,460
For the first few weeks you're
gonna have enough to do
281
00:13:55,752 --> 00:13:56,961
wiring up that new system.
282
00:13:58,046 --> 00:14:00,631
Well, I'm uh... I'm glad
we had this little talk.
283
00:14:10,141 --> 00:14:11,351
How are you, lieutenant?
284
00:14:11,642 --> 00:14:12,685
Hello, Wright.
285
00:14:13,353 --> 00:14:15,146
Thanks for requesting me for your squad.
286
00:14:15,438 --> 00:14:16,189
Sit down.
287
00:14:16,481 --> 00:14:17,106
Where do I start?
288
00:14:17,398 --> 00:14:20,360
You have a reputation of being a guy
nobody can approach.
289
00:14:20,651 --> 00:14:23,446
That's why I asked for you when
they gave me the gangster squad.
290
00:14:24,947 --> 00:14:27,450
You can start by checking up
on the bookie racket.
291
00:14:27,742 --> 00:14:30,203
They've been having things
their own way too long.
292
00:14:31,579 --> 00:14:33,206
There's one outfit in particular.
293
00:14:33,498 --> 00:14:36,167
They call themselves the
Libertt Finance Company.
294
00:14:37,835 --> 00:14:39,462
That's all we have on them so far.
295
00:14:41,631 --> 00:14:42,924
There was enough there to convince me
296
00:14:43,216 --> 00:14:44,801
that the Libertt Finance Co.
was the front
297
00:14:45,093 --> 00:14:48,054
for one of California's largest
bookmaking organizations.
298
00:14:48,346 --> 00:14:51,182
We didn't know then that Vince Walters'
Tri-State Wire Service
299
00:14:51,474 --> 00:14:52,600
was actually behind it.
300
00:14:52,892 --> 00:14:54,769
And that Mal Granger
was the technical brains.
301
00:14:55,353 --> 00:14:58,731
His improvements ran the daily take
up to staggering figures.
302
00:15:08,574 --> 00:15:11,828
They're on the track in Chicago
and ready to go.
303
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,414
- Where's Vince?
- In Mail's workshop.
304
00:15:15,164 --> 00:15:19,252
And there they go. They're ready
in Chicago at 36 1/2
305
00:15:19,544 --> 00:15:21,295
It's a switch on those
walkie-talkie radios, huh?
306
00:15:21,587 --> 00:15:22,630
That's right and miniature.
307
00:15:22,922 --> 00:15:24,173
- If it works.
- It'll work.
308
00:15:24,465 --> 00:15:25,967
He receives me
through this hearing aid, see?
309
00:15:26,259 --> 00:15:28,261
And the amplifier and microphone become
a transmitter
310
00:15:28,553 --> 00:15:29,387
and that's how he gets back at me.
311
00:15:29,679 --> 00:15:30,930
His cane here serves as an aerial.
312
00:15:31,222 --> 00:15:33,307
Pop, just keep that ring
right on the metal band, will you?
313
00:15:33,599 --> 00:15:35,143
The only trouble we might get into
314
00:15:35,435 --> 00:15:37,311
is if a federal monitor car
picked up his frequency.
315
00:15:37,603 --> 00:15:39,313
Then they could triangulate the beam.
How does that feel, Pop?
316
00:15:39,605 --> 00:15:43,067
Fine, fine. However I must say
that I feel utterly ridiculous
317
00:15:43,359 --> 00:15:44,318
being wired for sound.
318
00:15:44,610 --> 00:15:46,028
Still the erector set kid, huh?
319
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,239
Well, why work when
electricity will do it for you?
320
00:15:48,531 --> 00:15:49,991
There's things it hasn't been able
to do for me.
321
00:15:50,283 --> 00:15:52,076
Mal wants to try out this new
gadget today, Trudy.
322
00:15:52,368 --> 00:15:54,162
I thought maybe you'd better take him
out to the track with you.
323
00:15:54,454 --> 00:15:54,954
Show him how you work.
324
00:15:55,246 --> 00:15:56,581
Things have getting
a little hot out there.
325
00:15:56,873 --> 00:15:57,790
It'll be my pleasure.
326
00:15:58,082 --> 00:15:59,000
Madame.
327
00:16:40,416 --> 00:16:41,918
Eight on top.
328
00:16:42,502 --> 00:16:43,461
Twelve.
329
00:16:44,212 --> 00:16:45,296
Two and a half.
330
00:16:46,964 --> 00:16:47,965
Eight.
331
00:16:49,467 --> 00:16:50,593
Two.
332
00:16:51,511 --> 00:16:53,095
And twenty on the bottom.
333
00:16:55,348 --> 00:16:56,390
All set, Pop.
334
00:16:56,682 --> 00:16:58,559
Let's test it once from the grandstand.
335
00:16:59,393 --> 00:17:01,521
Officer, can you tell me
where the coffee shop is?
336
00:17:01,812 --> 00:17:03,147
Right over the grandstand.
337
00:17:03,439 --> 00:17:05,191
I say, officer...
338
00:17:05,483 --> 00:17:07,443
You're just the man I was looking for.
339
00:17:07,735 --> 00:17:09,487
My eyesight isn't too good.
340
00:17:09,779 --> 00:17:10,571
I wonder.
341
00:17:10,863 --> 00:17:12,698
Could you give me
the odds on this race?
342
00:17:12,990 --> 00:17:15,034
Sure. Number 1, 8 to...
343
00:17:16,577 --> 00:17:18,412
Number 1, 8 to 1,
344
00:17:18,704 --> 00:17:20,206
Number 2, 12 to 1,
345
00:17:20,498 --> 00:17:22,250
Number 3, 5 to 2,
346
00:17:22,542 --> 00:17:23,834
Number 4, 5 to 2,
347
00:17:24,126 --> 00:17:25,461
Number 5, 8 to 1,
348
00:17:25,753 --> 00:17:26,546
Number 6,
349
00:17:26,837 --> 00:17:27,505
2 to 1,
350
00:17:27,797 --> 00:17:29,215
Number 7, 20 to 1,
351
00:17:29,507 --> 00:17:31,467
Thank you, sir, thank you.
- Don't mention it.
352
00:17:31,759 --> 00:17:32,969
This is the life, Sonny.
353
00:17:33,261 --> 00:17:36,347
You put horses and radio together,
what do you get? Nothing but money.
354
00:17:36,639 --> 00:17:38,182
You mean Vince's got it.
355
00:17:38,474 --> 00:17:39,809
We're just a couple of hired hands.
356
00:17:40,101 --> 00:17:41,269
I don't see him cutting you in.
357
00:17:41,561 --> 00:17:43,813
That's because I'm the shy type.
I haven't asked him yet.
358
00:17:44,105 --> 00:17:46,023
When the time comes, he'll put out.
359
00:17:46,315 --> 00:17:48,150
About time for those dogs to get going.
360
00:17:49,068 --> 00:17:50,319
Hey, they got Trudy.
361
00:17:50,611 --> 00:17:52,947
The pigs just grabbed her.
They're taking her away.
362
00:17:59,620 --> 00:18:01,581
Hey, Pop, take over.
They just pinched Trudy.
363
00:18:01,872 --> 00:18:02,957
Sonny.
364
00:18:04,208 --> 00:18:05,751
You see, child? You're dated.
365
00:18:06,043 --> 00:18:08,921
From now on, the wire service
is strictly Superman stuff.
366
00:18:09,714 --> 00:18:10,590
What happened?
367
00:18:10,881 --> 00:18:12,758
They gave me the old heave-ho.
368
00:18:13,050 --> 00:18:14,885
Warned me never to darken
their track again.
369
00:18:15,177 --> 00:18:16,887
I guess that washes me up.
370
00:18:17,305 --> 00:18:20,099
You don't know anybody who needs
a slightly used signaler, do you?
371
00:18:20,391 --> 00:18:22,143
I'll put an ad in the paper for you.
372
00:18:22,435 --> 00:18:24,228
I'm afraid I'm too much of a specialist.
373
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,523
Guess I should have married the boy
whose father owned the supermarket.
374
00:18:27,815 --> 00:18:29,859
Uh-uh. I'm allergic to that word
if you don't mind.
375
00:18:30,151 --> 00:18:31,569
- Supermarket?
- No, marriage.
376
00:18:31,861 --> 00:18:33,154
Makes me break out in a rash.
377
00:18:33,446 --> 00:18:36,073
Don't worry. I won't be around long
enough to start you scratching.
378
00:18:36,365 --> 00:18:39,160
Maybe you ought to stick around. Maybe
we can find something else for you to do
379
00:18:39,452 --> 00:18:41,329
- We?
- That's right, we.
380
00:18:41,746 --> 00:18:44,457
You sound like someone who thinks he's
going someplace.
381
00:18:45,583 --> 00:18:49,128
I'm not one to brag but...
Why don't you stick around and find out?
382
00:18:49,712 --> 00:18:51,631
Might be interesting at that.
383
00:18:55,384 --> 00:18:57,303
Look, Ma, one hand.
384
00:18:59,305 --> 00:19:01,182
Keep calm, little man. Keep calm.
385
00:19:01,474 --> 00:19:03,809
You sure it's all right to try it here?
Suppose the cops saw us?
386
00:19:04,101 --> 00:19:05,853
All we're doing is using
their wire fence for an aerial.
387
00:19:06,145 --> 00:19:08,189
If it works here,
it'll work at the racetrack.
388
00:19:08,856 --> 00:19:10,483
This is a low frequency transmitter,
Vince.
389
00:19:10,775 --> 00:19:12,526
I'm saving it for the day they
crack down on Pop.
390
00:19:12,818 --> 00:19:15,112
With the dough I put into this stuff,
I could own a radio station.
391
00:19:15,404 --> 00:19:16,864
With the dough you're making,
you could buy a network.
392
00:19:17,156 --> 00:19:18,282
Let's have your leg, Chippie.
393
00:19:19,575 --> 00:19:20,868
Hope you don't get electrocuted.
394
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,037
Always kidding... l hope.
395
00:19:24,622 --> 00:19:25,831
Hey, what's that?
396
00:19:26,123 --> 00:19:27,708
That spring needle sets up the circuit.
397
00:19:28,167 --> 00:19:30,753
The wires on your leg run
to a low frequency carrier transmitter.
398
00:19:31,045 --> 00:19:32,254
The batteries are in that case.
399
00:19:32,838 --> 00:19:34,757
We put this telegraph key
in your right pants pocket.
400
00:19:35,466 --> 00:19:37,301
I'm left-handed.
All right. Your left pants pocket.
401
00:19:37,593 --> 00:19:39,845
Now all you gotta do is
make like a telegrapher.
402
00:19:40,137 --> 00:19:40,888
Come on.
403
00:19:42,807 --> 00:19:43,766
Now...
404
00:19:44,058 --> 00:19:46,435
When he leans against this wire fence,
he's a walking radio station.
405
00:19:46,727 --> 00:19:49,063
Of course, at the track, he'll have
all of these gadgets under his clothes.
406
00:19:49,355 --> 00:19:50,856
I still don't get
all of this electrical stuff.
407
00:19:51,148 --> 00:19:52,733
What I want to know is
how do we pick him up.
408
00:19:53,025 --> 00:19:54,193
That's what we got the car for.
409
00:19:54,485 --> 00:19:55,861
It's rigged to pick up his signals.
410
00:19:56,153 --> 00:19:58,322
The car keeps circling the track
while he broadcasts.
411
00:19:58,614 --> 00:20:00,616
Then they phone the dope to you.
Want to try it, Vince?
412
00:20:00,908 --> 00:20:01,701
Let's go.
413
00:20:12,336 --> 00:20:14,130
You sure got the angles, Mal.
414
00:20:14,422 --> 00:20:16,507
If it was anybody but Vince,
he'd give you part of the take.
415
00:20:16,799 --> 00:20:17,967
He'll cut me in, Chippie.
416
00:20:18,551 --> 00:20:20,469
I got him by the short hairs right now.
417
00:20:21,053 --> 00:20:22,596
I think they're ready. Start sending.
418
00:20:22,888 --> 00:20:23,723
Here's hoping.
419
00:20:24,014 --> 00:20:25,057
Don't worry. It'll work.
420
00:20:25,349 --> 00:20:26,183
Believe me, I know.
421
00:20:26,475 --> 00:20:29,186
I was down here myself and tried it
last night. Come on.
422
00:20:38,487 --> 00:20:41,407
Nice wine, nice lunch, nice girl.
423
00:20:41,699 --> 00:20:43,200
Nice day.
424
00:20:43,701 --> 00:20:45,286
That seems to cover everything.
425
00:20:45,578 --> 00:20:47,079
What's so special about today?
426
00:20:47,580 --> 00:20:49,457
I don't know. Days are like people.
427
00:20:49,749 --> 00:20:51,333
They have a kind of personality
of their own.
428
00:20:51,625 --> 00:20:53,461
Take today, for instance. I like today.
429
00:20:54,295 --> 00:20:55,045
Any reason?
430
00:20:55,337 --> 00:20:57,214
I got a hunch it's liable to be
lucky for me.
431
00:20:58,132 --> 00:20:59,967
Yep, I think today's my lucky day.
432
00:21:00,259 --> 00:21:01,177
Excuse me.
433
00:21:01,469 --> 00:21:03,220
Mr. Granger, something's gone sour
at the track.
434
00:21:03,512 --> 00:21:05,389
The wires have gone dead.
Every book in town's been calling.
435
00:21:05,681 --> 00:21:07,433
Even I can't get through.
The phones are swamped.
436
00:21:07,725 --> 00:21:09,643
I've been afraid of something like this.
437
00:21:09,935 --> 00:21:11,979
I think things will just have to
work themselves out.
438
00:21:12,271 --> 00:21:13,647
- But, Mr. Granger...
- You heard me.
439
00:21:16,650 --> 00:21:20,029
This wouldn't have anything to do with
being your lucky day, would it?
440
00:21:20,321 --> 00:21:22,198
Like arranging to have Pop picked up?
441
00:21:22,865 --> 00:21:24,784
Why would I want to do
anything like that?
442
00:21:25,659 --> 00:21:27,286
You say the FCC picked him up?
443
00:21:28,537 --> 00:21:30,331
Well, hold everything.
I'll get Granger right on it.
444
00:21:30,623 --> 00:21:32,291
He's got another way of
handling the track.
445
00:21:34,210 --> 00:21:35,878
Where's Mal?
446
00:21:36,170 --> 00:21:37,463
He took Trudy to lunch
over at the Blue Boar.
447
00:21:37,755 --> 00:21:39,215
Get him on the phone right away.
- Yes, sir.
448
00:21:39,507 --> 00:21:41,258
Wire's down.
449
00:21:41,550 --> 00:21:43,427
Wire trouble. Keep it closed.
450
00:21:45,471 --> 00:21:46,764
Rocco?
451
00:21:47,056 --> 00:21:48,224
Put Granger on.
452
00:21:48,641 --> 00:21:49,934
Wire trouble...
453
00:21:51,477 --> 00:21:54,271
Mal, what kind of an outfit you think
I'm running around here anyhow?
454
00:21:54,563 --> 00:21:55,898
Get over here. We're in trouble.
455
00:21:59,819 --> 00:22:02,071
You'd like it better
if I came there, huh?
456
00:22:02,363 --> 00:22:03,739
Why, for two cents I'd...
457
00:22:05,658 --> 00:22:08,494
All right. I'll be right over.
Wait in Rocco's office for me.
458
00:22:14,291 --> 00:22:16,126
Well, get it up. We've got a lot
of work to do.
459
00:22:16,418 --> 00:22:18,295
You've got to get a man out to the track
with that new equipment.
460
00:22:18,587 --> 00:22:19,588
They knocked off Pop today.
461
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,173
You can quit shouting, Vince.
I heard you.
462
00:22:21,465 --> 00:22:22,758
But maybe you didn't hear me right.
463
00:22:23,551 --> 00:22:25,719
I'm not taking the new stuff
out to the track.
464
00:22:26,303 --> 00:22:27,972
So that's the way it is, huh?
465
00:22:28,472 --> 00:22:30,266
Okay, I'll get somebody else
to take it out.
466
00:22:30,558 --> 00:22:32,977
Not with my equipment, you won't.
I've already taken it out of the shop.
467
00:22:33,269 --> 00:22:36,814
I know it was your money but it was my
brains that made you that dough.
468
00:22:37,106 --> 00:22:39,275
You think you can hijack me
469
00:22:39,567 --> 00:22:41,026
just because I gave a telephone
company sucker a break?
470
00:22:41,318 --> 00:22:41,902
Get smart, Vince.
471
00:22:42,194 --> 00:22:43,779
Ever since I hooked up your outfit
all over the state,
472
00:22:44,071 --> 00:22:45,364
you've been rolling in cabbage
and I know it.
473
00:22:45,656 --> 00:22:47,408
Your take is five times what it was.
474
00:22:47,700 --> 00:22:49,577
But to keep it that way,
you gotta keep me.
475
00:22:53,163 --> 00:22:54,540
And if I don't?
476
00:22:54,832 --> 00:22:57,543
I've handled guys like you before.
You better think that over.
477
00:22:57,835 --> 00:22:58,544
I don't have to.
478
00:22:58,836 --> 00:23:00,921
You never got rid of anything or anybody
that could make you a buck.
479
00:23:01,213 --> 00:23:03,841
With that new equipment,
I can get a lot of guys to finance me.
480
00:23:04,133 --> 00:23:06,093
Your books are gonna be looking around
for a new service.
481
00:23:06,385 --> 00:23:08,554
So, as of right now,
you're out of business.
482
00:23:10,222 --> 00:23:11,432
What do you want?
483
00:23:11,724 --> 00:23:13,475
Twenty percent of your take
from everything.
484
00:23:13,767 --> 00:23:15,102
That still leaves you 80%.
485
00:23:15,394 --> 00:23:17,104
That's better than 100% of nothing.
486
00:23:22,860 --> 00:23:24,028
Okay-
487
00:23:24,570 --> 00:23:25,529
Thanks.
488
00:23:29,700 --> 00:23:31,076
Hello, Syd? Mal.
489
00:23:31,368 --> 00:23:33,537
You know that new show
down at the Biltmore?
490
00:23:33,829 --> 00:23:34,580
Yeah.
491
00:23:34,872 --> 00:23:36,790
Any chance you can get me a couple
for tonight up front?
492
00:23:37,082 --> 00:23:37,917
You can?
493
00:23:38,208 --> 00:23:39,627
That's swell, thanks.
494
00:23:40,586 --> 00:23:41,921
Nice guy, that Syd.
495
00:23:43,213 --> 00:23:45,883
During the next three months,
the gangster squad knocked off
496
00:23:46,175 --> 00:23:47,635
all the bookies it could find.
497
00:23:47,927 --> 00:23:50,054
But they popped up like rats
in another hole.
498
00:23:50,346 --> 00:23:52,973
By then, I knew the only way
to drive them out of business
499
00:23:53,557 --> 00:23:55,392
was to crack down on the
Tri-State Wire Service.
500
00:23:55,684 --> 00:23:57,603
But so far, they were within the law.
501
00:23:57,895 --> 00:23:59,229
One thing I was certain of
502
00:23:59,521 --> 00:24:02,066
The bookmakers were paying off
to fhe service at a drive-in.
503
00:24:02,358 --> 00:24:04,109
We had these small fry marked for arrest
504
00:24:04,401 --> 00:24:06,278
but it was the big shots we were after.
505
00:24:06,820 --> 00:24:09,531
I staked out the place for a few days
looking the boys over.
506
00:24:09,823 --> 00:24:13,118
And I found that Mal Granger was
beginning to throw his weight around.
507
00:24:14,411 --> 00:24:15,913
- Lemon.
- Yeah.
508
00:24:16,205 --> 00:24:17,039
Apple?
509
00:24:17,623 --> 00:24:19,541
Hello, Red.
510
00:24:20,042 --> 00:24:21,752
Things are going all right
with you guys, huh?
511
00:24:22,044 --> 00:24:24,004
Stick with us and every night
will be Saturday night.
512
00:24:24,296 --> 00:24:26,423
- So long, fellas.
- Right.
513
00:24:27,299 --> 00:24:30,135
We couldn't make it any faster
if printed it ourselves.
514
00:24:30,427 --> 00:24:32,471
You picked a winner the day
you tied up with me, Chippie.
515
00:24:32,763 --> 00:24:33,639
You said it.
516
00:24:33,931 --> 00:24:35,557
Just think of you wasting your time
with the telephone company
517
00:24:35,849 --> 00:24:37,601
and me fooling around with two-bit book.
518
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:45,484
Where is it?
519
00:24:48,404 --> 00:24:49,655
It's kind of light.
520
00:24:49,947 --> 00:24:51,740
They hit me again yesterday, Mal.
Two grand.
521
00:24:52,032 --> 00:24:53,242
I had to pay off right then, or else.
522
00:24:53,534 --> 00:24:54,576
That's your tough luck.
523
00:24:54,868 --> 00:24:56,996
You better have the rest of
what you owe Walters in here.
524
00:24:57,287 --> 00:24:58,288
Plus the interest.
525
00:24:58,580 --> 00:24:59,915
Do you think I like owing him money?
526
00:25:00,207 --> 00:25:01,959
I'll try to make the rest of it
next week.
527
00:25:02,251 --> 00:25:03,293
No soap, Weiss.
528
00:25:03,585 --> 00:25:06,171
You get it up by 3 this afternoon
or you're out of business.
529
00:25:07,423 --> 00:25:09,299
Walters will be waiting for you
at the office.
530
00:25:16,098 --> 00:25:18,225
I want the dough, Weiss,
and I want it now.
531
00:25:18,517 --> 00:25:20,728
You've had five months
and you still haven't paid off.
532
00:25:21,311 --> 00:25:23,939
I've done the best I could.
But at 10% interest I...
533
00:25:24,231 --> 00:25:26,108
I've only got a little book,
Mr. Walters.
534
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:27,735
You haven't got that now.
535
00:25:28,027 --> 00:25:29,153
You're through, Weiss.
536
00:25:29,778 --> 00:25:31,196
You can't do that.
537
00:25:31,488 --> 00:25:33,907
I got a wife, two kids.
I gotta keep going.
538
00:25:34,199 --> 00:25:36,076
You can't do that!
539
00:25:36,493 --> 00:25:38,579
Why don't you watch what you're doing?
540
00:25:42,875 --> 00:25:44,793
A wife and two kids, huh, Weiss?
541
00:25:45,502 --> 00:25:48,797
There are a couple of boys in town
I might speak to about them.
542
00:25:49,089 --> 00:25:52,509
How would you like to have the wife
and two kids worked over, Weiss?
543
00:25:53,343 --> 00:25:54,720
You can't do that.
544
00:25:55,304 --> 00:25:56,305
I won't let you.
545
00:25:56,930 --> 00:25:58,140
I won't let anyone.
546
00:26:04,855 --> 00:26:06,607
He got right past me. Went right...
547
00:26:07,191 --> 00:26:08,901
Somebody better call an ambulance.
548
00:26:12,237 --> 00:26:13,906
He won't need an ambulance.
549
00:26:18,660 --> 00:26:22,414
Weiss was found as suicide in his car
on Kingsley Road, Granger.
550
00:26:22,706 --> 00:26:24,374
Maybe that's why you don't want to talk.
551
00:26:24,792 --> 00:26:26,794
Can I help it
if Weiss bumped himself off?
552
00:26:27,086 --> 00:26:28,837
I told you he was crazy
when he was in the office.
553
00:26:29,129 --> 00:26:30,047
He even took a shot at me.
554
00:26:30,339 --> 00:26:31,298
Why did he come to your office?
555
00:26:32,091 --> 00:26:33,884
He wanted to see Walters about a loan.
556
00:26:34,176 --> 00:26:36,220
He said his book had been hit
and he needed some money.
557
00:26:36,512 --> 00:26:39,306
From what his wife tells us,
you were already bleeding him.
558
00:26:39,598 --> 00:26:41,058
He'd been paying Walters off for months.
559
00:26:41,350 --> 00:26:44,186
I don't know anything about that.
I just work there.
560
00:26:44,478 --> 00:26:46,355
What's the gangster squad
have on Granger?
561
00:26:46,647 --> 00:26:47,564
Not too much.
562
00:26:47,856 --> 00:26:50,567
The word's around town that he owns
a piece of Tri-State himself.
563
00:26:51,568 --> 00:26:54,404
We saw you talking to Weiss this morning
at the drive-in stand.
564
00:26:54,696 --> 00:26:55,572
What is that about?
565
00:26:55,864 --> 00:26:56,406
Nothing.
566
00:26:56,698 --> 00:26:58,408
He just asked me
when he could see Walters.
567
00:26:59,034 --> 00:27:00,577
That's all for now, Granger.
568
00:27:00,869 --> 00:27:02,329
If I want you again, I'll call you.
569
00:27:19,346 --> 00:27:20,639
Granger.
570
00:27:21,765 --> 00:27:24,852
With Walters gone, it looks like you're
going to be Mr. Big over at Tri-State.
571
00:27:25,144 --> 00:27:26,687
If you're smart, you'll get out now.
572
00:27:27,479 --> 00:27:29,398
You know, they all end up like Walters.
573
00:28:22,159 --> 00:28:24,745
Quite an improvement for a guy who
didn't even have a change of overalls.
574
00:28:25,037 --> 00:28:25,871
Yeah, you like them?
575
00:28:26,163 --> 00:28:27,456
All depends on
what you're going to put inside them.
576
00:28:27,748 --> 00:28:28,832
What kind of crack is that?
577
00:28:29,124 --> 00:28:30,876
I just wonder if you're the same guy
I used to know.
578
00:28:31,168 --> 00:28:33,420
Just the same except for money
in my pockets instead of wire,
579
00:28:33,712 --> 00:28:34,922
tailored suits instead of overalls.
580
00:28:35,214 --> 00:28:37,132
I hope you and your wardrobe
will be very happy.
581
00:28:37,424 --> 00:28:40,302
On the way out, tell the cook to send me
some orange juice and coffee.
582
00:28:40,594 --> 00:28:41,803
Yes, master.
583
00:28:42,095 --> 00:28:45,599
Have you an appointment? Mr. Granger's
only seeing bankers these days.
584
00:28:46,850 --> 00:28:48,227
What's eating her?
585
00:28:48,518 --> 00:28:50,646
I used to think you two cooked up
a little deal between you.
586
00:28:51,063 --> 00:28:52,856
Trudy's pretty sold on you.
587
00:28:53,148 --> 00:28:54,274
I know, but that's not for me.
588
00:28:54,566 --> 00:28:55,817
Some guys were meant to be single.
589
00:28:56,109 --> 00:28:57,527
I hope I never fall in love, Chippie.
590
00:28:57,819 --> 00:28:59,029
It's only asking for trouble.
591
00:28:59,321 --> 00:29:01,406
That love business is
strictly storybook stuff.
592
00:29:01,698 --> 00:29:03,575
What I got to tell you
ain't no storybook stuff.
593
00:29:04,076 --> 00:29:06,370
The bookies are screaming about you
hiking the price of the service.
594
00:29:06,662 --> 00:29:07,746
They say you're murdering them.
595
00:29:08,038 --> 00:29:08,914
They can afford it.
596
00:29:09,206 --> 00:29:10,582
They gotta deal with me
or they're out of business.
597
00:29:10,874 --> 00:29:12,584
Why should I give those guys
a free ride?
598
00:29:14,044 --> 00:29:15,796
I ain't forgetting what you done for me.
599
00:29:16,088 --> 00:29:17,464
But somebody's gotta tell you.
600
00:29:17,756 --> 00:29:20,259
Maybe you're getting a little too
successful for your own good.
601
00:29:20,550 --> 00:29:23,053
Right now, you've got all of California
tied up and everybody knows it.
602
00:29:23,345 --> 00:29:26,431
Get too big and those big guys back east
move in. You know what that means.
603
00:29:26,723 --> 00:29:28,934
Relax, will you? I'll do the worrying
for this outfit.
604
00:29:29,518 --> 00:29:31,478
Maybe that's one thing
you never thought of...
605
00:29:31,770 --> 00:29:33,522
Maybe I'm big enough for the big boys.
606
00:29:34,356 --> 00:29:35,857
Mal didn't know it.
607
00:29:36,149 --> 00:29:38,902
But the national syndicate was already
eyeing his operation.
608
00:29:39,194 --> 00:29:41,780
Their headquarters was in
an office building in Cleveland.
609
00:29:42,072 --> 00:29:43,991
They had impressive offices
and they should.
610
00:29:44,283 --> 00:29:49,204
Last year, more than $8 billion was bet
with bookmakers in this country.
611
00:29:49,496 --> 00:29:53,500
More than the combined earnings
of 25 of our largest corporations.
612
00:29:53,792 --> 00:29:58,130
And the National Wire Service got
a big slice of that $8 billion racket.
613
00:30:01,633 --> 00:30:03,051
Ghastly stuff.
614
00:30:03,802 --> 00:30:07,431
If I hadn't picked up this duodenal
worrying about our affairs,
615
00:30:08,181 --> 00:30:10,517
I'd be able to eat like a man
instead of a kitten.
616
00:30:11,393 --> 00:30:13,312
What about Jake Miller?
617
00:30:13,603 --> 00:30:15,355
Anyone looked over the Florida accounts?
618
00:30:15,647 --> 00:30:16,398
I have.
619
00:30:16,690 --> 00:30:18,025
He was socking down on us all right.
620
00:30:18,317 --> 00:30:21,194
Took us for $43,000 entering bets
on winners for himself.
621
00:30:21,778 --> 00:30:23,697
That's bad, very bad.
622
00:30:24,114 --> 00:30:26,033
The man can't trust his own clients.
623
00:30:27,034 --> 00:30:28,243
How long has he been with us?
624
00:30:28,535 --> 00:30:30,329
Five, six years.
625
00:30:30,620 --> 00:30:33,290
He's been screaming ever since we cut
ourselves in for part of his book.
626
00:30:33,874 --> 00:30:35,250
That's unfortunate.
627
00:30:35,542 --> 00:30:38,086
Particularly so if word
got around that he
628
00:30:38,378 --> 00:30:40,756
took this money without any retaliation.
629
00:30:41,381 --> 00:30:44,176
Some of the other bookies
might get the same idea.
630
00:30:45,218 --> 00:30:46,303
Are we agreed?
631
00:30:47,679 --> 00:30:49,473
All right, Steve, I'll leave it to you.
632
00:30:49,765 --> 00:30:51,266
You know some people
in Miami, don't you?
633
00:30:51,558 --> 00:30:52,642
What does he get?
634
00:30:54,353 --> 00:30:56,355
I think he's a very sick man.
635
00:30:57,314 --> 00:30:59,232
I don't believe he'll ever get well.
636
00:31:00,192 --> 00:31:01,735
I'll see that he doesn't.
637
00:31:02,277 --> 00:31:04,863
About California, Carl, I have
the data on Granger.
638
00:31:05,155 --> 00:31:06,907
Walters was knocked off
about a year ago.
639
00:31:07,199 --> 00:31:08,784
Granger took over the Tri-State service.
640
00:31:09,076 --> 00:31:11,411
This year, he'll clear
about a million two.
641
00:31:11,703 --> 00:31:14,956
That isn't so much. I though the whole
state was dancing to his tune.
642
00:31:15,248 --> 00:31:16,750
It is but this is piker stuff.
643
00:31:17,042 --> 00:31:19,211
This is just the take from
the wire service alone.
644
00:31:19,503 --> 00:31:20,462
If we were to move in on him,
645
00:31:20,754 --> 00:31:21,797
set up a whole operation.
646
00:31:22,089 --> 00:31:23,590
That would be a nice venture.
647
00:31:24,132 --> 00:31:26,968
I've always thought we should do
something about the Pacific coast.
648
00:31:27,594 --> 00:31:31,598
It's ridiculous that this syndicate
has never gone past Kansas City.
649
00:31:32,265 --> 00:31:33,433
What would you suggest?
650
00:31:33,725 --> 00:31:35,227
Let me look Granger up.
651
00:31:35,519 --> 00:31:38,397
Nothing too exciting. Just a little
suggestion he might find it more
652
00:31:38,688 --> 00:31:40,899
profitable to come in with us.
That sort of thing.
653
00:31:41,191 --> 00:31:42,609
Very good.
654
00:31:43,276 --> 00:31:45,654
But I've already had Granger looked up.
655
00:31:46,780 --> 00:31:48,990
I'm sure you'll show him
that in the long run
656
00:31:49,282 --> 00:31:51,493
no one man has ever been able to keep
657
00:31:52,077 --> 00:31:56,081
the wire service
as a personal enterprise.
658
00:31:57,165 --> 00:31:59,000
By the way, I uh...
659
00:31:59,292 --> 00:32:01,711
I'm leaving for Palm Springs
myself next week.
660
00:32:02,671 --> 00:32:06,258
Why don't you go down ahead
and look Granger over?
661
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,260
And Larry...
662
00:32:09,344 --> 00:32:10,762
Take the wife along.
663
00:32:11,596 --> 00:32:14,099
She might like southern California.
664
00:32:21,481 --> 00:32:23,358
How long have you been here?
665
00:32:23,650 --> 00:32:25,026
About two hours.
666
00:32:26,695 --> 00:32:29,406
Why do you suppose I've been sitting
with you that long?
667
00:32:29,990 --> 00:32:32,492
Maybe because you sort of like me?
668
00:32:32,784 --> 00:32:34,327
And I kind of like you.
669
00:32:34,619 --> 00:32:37,497
That's what you think, is it?
Well, I'll tell you the truth.
670
00:32:39,207 --> 00:32:41,460
All day I've been feeling like a rat.
671
00:32:42,294 --> 00:32:45,130
For a long time I've been feeling
like a rat.
672
00:32:45,589 --> 00:32:49,718
This afternoon I felt like talking to
someone who spoke my own language.
673
00:32:50,302 --> 00:32:51,219
And that's you.
674
00:32:52,345 --> 00:32:53,722
A great, big,
675
00:32:54,139 --> 00:32:55,557
good looking rat.
676
00:32:55,849 --> 00:32:57,434
You need another drink?
677
00:32:57,726 --> 00:32:58,685
Who doesn't?
678
00:33:01,062 --> 00:33:03,398
You're going to get a great shock
when my husband shows up.
679
00:33:04,191 --> 00:33:06,193
He's even a bigger rat than you are.
680
00:33:06,485 --> 00:33:07,444
You're a little tight.
681
00:33:07,736 --> 00:33:08,904
But very sweet.
682
00:33:09,529 --> 00:33:11,072
And you haven't got a husband.
683
00:33:11,364 --> 00:33:13,241
- Hasn't she?
- Darling.
684
00:33:14,034 --> 00:33:15,952
This is my husband, Mr...
685
00:33:16,828 --> 00:33:18,371
I'm sorry, I...
686
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:20,248
I didn't get the name.
687
00:33:20,540 --> 00:33:21,458
You never do.
688
00:33:21,750 --> 00:33:24,085
Well, if you'll excuse me.
689
00:33:25,504 --> 00:33:27,422
You ought to pick them a little tougher.
690
00:33:28,131 --> 00:33:29,508
The one I have is tough enough.
691
00:33:30,467 --> 00:33:31,927
How did the meeting go?
692
00:33:32,219 --> 00:33:33,512
Is Carl still living on milk?
693
00:33:33,803 --> 00:33:34,763
Carl's all right.
694
00:33:35,347 --> 00:33:37,432
Maybe he sees a lot of things I don't.
695
00:33:38,892 --> 00:33:41,061
How would you like a little trip
to the coast, baby?
696
00:33:41,353 --> 00:33:42,270
I'd love it.
697
00:33:43,146 --> 00:33:44,773
I've always wanted to live
in Beverly Hills.
698
00:34:05,669 --> 00:34:08,171
Hello, Tim. What's the matter?
You still look down in the dumps.
699
00:34:08,463 --> 00:34:10,924
And for good reason. Things ain't so
good with some of us boys
700
00:34:11,216 --> 00:34:13,051
since you upped the prices.
701
00:34:13,343 --> 00:34:15,762
Come on, Tim, you're doing fine.
You can afford it.
702
00:34:20,475 --> 00:34:22,686
They tell me you're Mal Granger.
I'm Larry Mason.
703
00:34:22,978 --> 00:34:23,728
Could I have a word with you?
704
00:34:24,020 --> 00:34:24,729
What are you doing way out here?
705
00:34:25,021 --> 00:34:26,731
Came to see a ball game.
- Hope you enjoy it.
706
00:34:27,023 --> 00:34:30,110
I also had another reason for coming.
I thought you and I could have a talk.
707
00:34:30,402 --> 00:34:32,112
That's a long way to come
without being sure.
708
00:34:32,404 --> 00:34:33,154
You should have written me first.
709
00:34:33,446 --> 00:34:34,322
The mail belongs to the government.
710
00:34:34,614 --> 00:34:36,366
I don't trust much of my business
with the government.
711
00:34:36,658 --> 00:34:38,201
How about watching the game with me?
712
00:34:38,493 --> 00:34:39,411
Sorry, I got some people inside
waiting for me.
713
00:34:39,703 --> 00:34:40,829
How about after the game?
- I got a date.
714
00:34:41,121 --> 00:34:42,789
What have you got against
talking things over?
715
00:34:43,081 --> 00:34:45,083
Nothing except I already know
what you're going to talk about.
716
00:34:45,375 --> 00:34:46,543
- Oh, I'm so sorry.
- That's all right.
717
00:34:46,835 --> 00:34:47,502
Well, are we going?
718
00:34:47,794 --> 00:34:49,671
Gail, this is Mal Granger. My wife.
719
00:34:50,088 --> 00:34:51,339
- Hello.
- Well, hello.
720
00:34:51,631 --> 00:34:53,174
Sure you won't change your mind
about joining us?
721
00:34:53,466 --> 00:34:56,136
She's very pretty but I already told you
I got people inside waiting.
722
00:34:56,428 --> 00:34:58,179
What about cocktails tomorrow
at my place?
723
00:34:58,597 --> 00:35:00,557
I'm not too far from poverty
to accept a free drink.
724
00:35:00,849 --> 00:35:02,642
All right, 7 o'clock. I'll give you
the address.
725
00:35:02,934 --> 00:35:05,312
Don't bother. I knew when you
got in town and where you're living.
726
00:35:05,604 --> 00:35:06,438
I'll see you tomorrow.
727
00:35:06,730 --> 00:35:07,564
Oh uh...
728
00:35:07,856 --> 00:35:09,733
Nice meeting you, Mrs. Mason.
- Thank you.
729
00:35:40,305 --> 00:35:42,098
Nice layout you got here, Larry.
730
00:35:42,390 --> 00:35:43,600
You must be figuring on staying.
731
00:35:43,892 --> 00:35:46,144
Been thinking of going
into business out here.
732
00:35:46,436 --> 00:35:48,188
Win anything on the game last night?
733
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:49,773
I don't gamble anymore.
734
00:35:50,482 --> 00:35:52,192
Why should you when you've already got
a sure thing?
735
00:35:52,484 --> 00:35:54,986
While I'm here, I'd like to look over
that setup of yours.
736
00:35:55,278 --> 00:35:58,114
I hear that for an independent operation
it's right up to the minute.
737
00:35:58,406 --> 00:36:00,742
For a guy that's only been in town for
a couple of days, you've heard a lot.
738
00:36:01,034 --> 00:36:03,203
Thanks, I don't show it anymore.
It's top secret.
739
00:36:03,495 --> 00:36:05,080
No reason why it should be, is there?
740
00:36:05,372 --> 00:36:08,500
After all, I'm in the same business.
We might compare methods.
741
00:36:09,417 --> 00:36:12,587
As a matter of fact, I might even have
a proposition for you.
742
00:36:13,088 --> 00:36:16,675
Thanks, I'm not in the market
for any propositions right now.
743
00:36:17,342 --> 00:36:19,010
I like things the way they are.
744
00:36:19,302 --> 00:36:21,262
A man never lost any money
just listening.
745
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,100
Could make him a wad of dough and save
him a lot of trouble at the same time.
746
00:36:25,392 --> 00:36:28,019
If you don't come in with us, you might
run into some other outfit
747
00:36:28,311 --> 00:36:29,604
that wouldn't be so cooperative.
748
00:36:29,896 --> 00:36:30,480
Really?
749
00:36:30,772 --> 00:36:33,817
I thought your syndicate was the only
one big enough to operate on that scale.
750
00:36:34,109 --> 00:36:35,568
But you're wasting your time.
751
00:36:35,860 --> 00:36:37,612
If you wanted to talk business,
752
00:36:37,904 --> 00:36:39,280
you should have sent Carl Stevens.
753
00:36:39,572 --> 00:36:41,032
I only deal with the top man.
754
00:36:41,324 --> 00:36:43,618
I'm not exactly an office boy myself.
755
00:36:43,910 --> 00:36:45,078
But if that's the way you feel.
756
00:36:45,370 --> 00:36:46,830
Must you two talk business all evening?
757
00:36:47,122 --> 00:36:48,873
Tell me about Palm Springs.
758
00:36:49,165 --> 00:36:51,042
Larry and I are going down there
this weekend.
759
00:36:51,584 --> 00:36:53,795
There isn't much doing there
now that the season's over.
760
00:36:54,087 --> 00:36:55,505
But if you want a lot of rest
and some sun.
761
00:36:55,797 --> 00:36:56,548
Not too much rest.
762
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,508
I like to keep moving, don't I, Larry?
763
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,677
It's all we've been doing
since we were married.
764
00:37:01,261 --> 00:37:03,096
Don't have a chance to think
too much then.
765
00:37:04,180 --> 00:37:08,143
Maybe that's why she keeps me broke
buying clothes. Just something to do.
766
00:37:09,352 --> 00:37:10,979
Carl's down at Palm Springs right now.
767
00:37:11,271 --> 00:37:13,022
Why don't you come down with us
this weekend and meet him?
768
00:37:13,314 --> 00:37:15,066
Perhaps Mr. Granger wouldn't like it.
769
00:37:16,109 --> 00:37:19,237
With the season over, he might not find
anything interesting to do.
770
00:37:19,529 --> 00:37:21,781
I don't know. I think I might find it
very interesting.
771
00:37:22,699 --> 00:37:24,117
Things have got a little dull
around here anyhow.
772
00:37:24,409 --> 00:37:25,744
Maybe I'll take you up on that.
773
00:37:32,292 --> 00:37:33,960
Sure you won't have something, Gail?
774
00:37:34,252 --> 00:37:35,754
Nothing right now, thanks.
775
00:37:37,172 --> 00:37:38,548
More medicine.
776
00:37:40,592 --> 00:37:43,052
I don't know how you two
can just eat like that.
777
00:37:43,344 --> 00:37:45,597
I've taken the very best care of myself.
778
00:37:46,055 --> 00:37:47,265
And that's my reward.
779
00:37:47,849 --> 00:37:49,893
I haven't had a decent night's sleep
since I got here.
780
00:37:50,185 --> 00:37:51,936
Maybe you're taking on
too much business, Carl.
781
00:37:52,228 --> 00:37:53,396
You ought to take it easy, relax.
782
00:37:53,688 --> 00:37:55,565
We're always geared
to take on more business.
783
00:37:55,857 --> 00:37:56,858
Oh now, Larry.
784
00:37:57,150 --> 00:38:00,361
Mal has every reason to wonder
at our sudden interest in him.
785
00:38:03,281 --> 00:38:05,200
- Haven't you, Mal?
- Hm?
786
00:38:05,784 --> 00:38:07,786
It is attractive here, isn't it?
787
00:38:08,077 --> 00:38:09,162
Yeah.
788
00:38:09,454 --> 00:38:11,956
You should think about going in with us.
789
00:38:12,248 --> 00:38:13,750
We don't want to move in on you.
790
00:38:14,042 --> 00:38:15,460
We want to cut you in as a full partner.
791
00:38:16,044 --> 00:38:17,962
I'm not interested in
getting any bigger, thanks.
792
00:38:18,254 --> 00:38:19,464
I like things the way they are.
793
00:38:19,756 --> 00:38:21,633
But you might run into trouble
at any minute.
794
00:38:22,717 --> 00:38:23,843
We're prepared to handle that for you.
795
00:38:24,469 --> 00:38:28,264
Like the law or some undesirable element
wanting to cut in.
796
00:38:28,848 --> 00:38:30,016
We can handle that.
797
00:38:30,308 --> 00:38:32,393
Give you and the service
full protection.
798
00:38:32,685 --> 00:38:34,354
I haven't had any trouble so far.
799
00:38:34,646 --> 00:38:36,606
But if it comes,
I think I can handle it.
800
00:38:36,898 --> 00:38:38,775
It's more than giving you
just protection.
801
00:38:39,359 --> 00:38:42,737
It's cutting you in on profits
you never dreamed of.
802
00:38:43,154 --> 00:38:45,281
Suppose something went sour
here on the coast.
803
00:38:45,573 --> 00:38:48,117
You'd be getting a share
from our other outlets.
804
00:38:49,244 --> 00:38:52,247
You might well call it an annuity.
805
00:38:55,375 --> 00:38:56,793
What is your offer anyway?
806
00:38:57,085 --> 00:38:58,545
A very handsome one.
807
00:38:59,754 --> 00:39:03,633
You would still retain
a half interest in Tri-State.
808
00:39:04,217 --> 00:39:07,887
And also receive a fair share of our
profits throughout the country.
809
00:39:08,179 --> 00:39:10,765
If you have an attorney
you'd care to consult...
810
00:39:11,766 --> 00:39:13,726
Thanks, I'm my own attorney.
811
00:39:14,018 --> 00:39:15,144
I'll think about it.
812
00:39:26,322 --> 00:39:27,782
I'm gonna get cleaned up.
813
00:39:28,074 --> 00:39:29,075
I'll see you.
814
00:39:32,328 --> 00:39:34,247
I wouldn't be too hasty.
815
00:39:34,998 --> 00:39:37,292
Things are working out
exactly as I planned.
816
00:39:39,335 --> 00:39:40,670
That's plenty, Mac.
817
00:39:40,962 --> 00:39:41,754
Yes, sir.
818
00:39:42,046 --> 00:39:45,091
Here you are. Keep the change.
- Thank you, sir.
819
00:39:58,646 --> 00:40:01,608
A girl could get awfully drunk
looking in every bar around town for you
820
00:40:02,275 --> 00:40:03,735
Anything wrong with that?
821
00:40:05,695 --> 00:40:07,196
Is it all right if I sit down?
822
00:40:07,488 --> 00:40:08,406
Why not?
823
00:40:10,158 --> 00:40:11,117
Have a drink?
824
00:40:11,409 --> 00:40:12,911
I'll have a double.
825
00:40:13,369 --> 00:40:14,370
Double what?
826
00:40:15,246 --> 00:40:16,581
Double yours.
827
00:40:16,873 --> 00:40:18,666
- Hey, Mac.
- Yes, sir?
828
00:40:19,208 --> 00:40:20,752
- Do it twice.
- Okay.
829
00:40:21,794 --> 00:40:23,087
You must like this stuff.
830
00:40:23,671 --> 00:40:25,006
No, not especially.
831
00:40:25,590 --> 00:40:27,759
I like what I see
in the bottom of the glass.
832
00:40:29,010 --> 00:40:30,678
Getting away from it all, huh?
833
00:40:32,388 --> 00:40:34,098
Just from myself.
834
00:40:37,435 --> 00:40:38,478
Let's dance.
835
00:40:40,271 --> 00:40:41,314
Sure.
836
00:41:13,304 --> 00:41:15,223
The boys seem pretty certain of me.
837
00:41:16,432 --> 00:41:18,059
They decided long ago.
838
00:41:18,351 --> 00:41:19,519
What about you?
839
00:41:20,436 --> 00:41:22,563
You could have saved yourself
a lot of trouble.
840
00:41:23,147 --> 00:41:25,191
I've already decided to go in with them.
841
00:41:25,483 --> 00:41:26,734
How could that save me trouble?
842
00:41:27,026 --> 00:41:28,695
This is all part
of the buildup, isn't it?
843
00:41:28,987 --> 00:41:31,406
Beautiful girl, soft music, hard drinks.
844
00:41:31,698 --> 00:41:32,490
Oh, sure.
845
00:41:33,074 --> 00:41:35,535
I'm the prize you win if you throw
the ring over the right peg.
846
00:41:35,827 --> 00:41:36,744
Yeah?
847
00:41:37,286 --> 00:41:40,081
I don't know if I can afford to buy
a chance. Or are you giving them away?
848
00:41:53,511 --> 00:41:55,430
Gail, wait a minute.
849
00:41:56,764 --> 00:41:58,683
I was out of line.
850
00:41:59,267 --> 00:42:01,185
Gail, please.
851
00:42:01,644 --> 00:42:03,021
I had you figured all wrong.
852
00:42:03,312 --> 00:42:04,188
I'm sorry.
853
00:42:06,816 --> 00:42:08,234
We all make mistakes.
854
00:42:09,193 --> 00:42:11,446
Anyway, I did tell you that I'd gone out
looking for you.
855
00:42:12,238 --> 00:42:14,157
And there is a guy named Larry.
856
00:42:14,657 --> 00:42:16,576
Let's call that my mistake.
857
00:42:18,244 --> 00:42:19,370
MY big one.
858
00:42:20,997 --> 00:42:22,415
You know,
859
00:42:22,707 --> 00:42:24,167
You don't look as though you...
860
00:42:26,127 --> 00:42:27,211
Well as though you...
861
00:42:27,503 --> 00:42:29,297
Belong to a big shot in the syndicate?
862
00:42:29,714 --> 00:42:30,757
Yeah.
863
00:42:31,632 --> 00:42:33,176
What do I look like?
864
00:42:33,468 --> 00:42:36,387
Like someone who went to
one of those smart girl's schools.
865
00:42:36,679 --> 00:42:38,556
You know, belong to the
country club set.
866
00:42:38,848 --> 00:42:39,599
I did.
867
00:42:41,100 --> 00:42:42,643
Until I met Larry.
868
00:42:43,686 --> 00:42:46,439
Innocent young girl taken in
by smooth talking stranger?
869
00:42:46,731 --> 00:42:48,608
No, I knew all about him.
870
00:42:49,108 --> 00:42:51,277
But you see, I'd never know anyone
like him before.
871
00:42:52,612 --> 00:42:55,990
Probably would have gotten over it if
my family hadn't raised such a fuss.
872
00:42:59,327 --> 00:43:00,953
Is this really important to you?
873
00:43:03,331 --> 00:43:04,791
You're important to me.
874
00:43:20,348 --> 00:43:22,266
Come on.
875
00:43:54,674 --> 00:43:56,092
Hi, Pete.
876
00:43:56,384 --> 00:43:58,386
What do you know, George?
- Nothing much, Tim.
877
00:43:58,678 --> 00:43:59,512
Say Tim, what's this all about?
878
00:43:59,804 --> 00:44:00,930
I don't know but I don't like it.
879
00:44:01,222 --> 00:44:02,890
Why should Granger bring all the
bookies together
880
00:44:03,182 --> 00:44:04,851
unless he's going to slip us
some more bad news?
881
00:44:05,143 --> 00:44:08,437
He picked a good place for it all right.
A gas works yet.
882
00:44:19,866 --> 00:44:23,452
Sorry to be late, men, but I got tied up
in a meeting with my new partners.
883
00:44:24,912 --> 00:44:25,830
That's right.
884
00:44:26,122 --> 00:44:28,124
That's why I called this
meeting here today.
885
00:44:28,416 --> 00:44:30,126
Right in the same gas house
where Vince Walters
886
00:44:30,418 --> 00:44:32,295
first organized the Tri-State
Wire Service.
887
00:44:32,587 --> 00:44:35,798
We've all come a long way since then
and we're going to go a lot further.
888
00:44:36,340 --> 00:44:38,676
I just made a deal with the National
Press Service.
889
00:44:41,846 --> 00:44:43,389
How do you like that?
890
00:44:43,681 --> 00:44:45,600
...right in the neck.
- That's right, the big boys.
891
00:44:45,892 --> 00:44:47,894
Carl Stevens, Larry Mason, Joe Gish
892
00:44:48,186 --> 00:44:49,437
and Steve Marshak.
893
00:44:49,729 --> 00:44:52,064
This is Larry Mason standing
right over here.
894
00:44:52,565 --> 00:44:54,483
He's gonna tell you what the new deal
is all about.
895
00:44:59,530 --> 00:45:03,034
We want all you boys to get together
in a little protective association.
896
00:45:03,993 --> 00:45:06,370
We've got some trouble coming up here
and the syndicate's
897
00:45:06,662 --> 00:45:07,997
prepared to handle it for you.
898
00:45:08,581 --> 00:45:11,334
It'll take a little juice,
a little money in the right places.
899
00:45:11,626 --> 00:45:13,878
But we'll see that you get
a buck's worth of protection
900
00:45:14,170 --> 00:45:15,630
for every dollar you put out.
901
00:45:16,172 --> 00:45:18,758
And by forming a protection association,
902
00:45:19,050 --> 00:45:21,093
we can handle it in a businesslike way.
903
00:45:21,385 --> 00:45:22,470
With our money?
904
00:45:22,762 --> 00:45:24,138
Suppose we don't want to join?
905
00:45:24,430 --> 00:45:26,766
You'll change your minds when
you've heard the play-by-play.
906
00:45:27,058 --> 00:45:29,727
I don't know if you men know anything
about the politics in this state,
907
00:45:30,019 --> 00:45:31,395
but if you don't, you should.
908
00:45:31,687 --> 00:45:34,649
Right now up in Sacramento,
there's a bill to legalize bookies.
909
00:45:34,941 --> 00:45:36,859
If that happens,
we're all out of business.
910
00:45:37,151 --> 00:45:38,611
The state will be taking our gravy.
911
00:45:38,903 --> 00:45:40,780
We've not only got to whip that.
912
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,324
But we've got to out box the governor's
new crime commission.
913
00:45:43,616 --> 00:45:46,535
Those guys can't be bought.
So, if you want to stay in business,
914
00:45:46,994 --> 00:45:48,412
You're gonna have to pay for it.
915
00:45:48,704 --> 00:45:50,206
'Cause it'll cost money
916
00:45:50,498 --> 00:45:52,750
- for a lobby of our own.
- How much?
917
00:45:53,042 --> 00:45:55,628
We're not going to have any hike
in the price of the wire service.
918
00:45:56,712 --> 00:45:59,090
All we're asking is 20% of every book.
919
00:45:59,382 --> 00:46:02,134
He's out of his mind!
- He'll make us broke in no time!
920
00:46:02,426 --> 00:46:03,636
Now wait a minute.
921
00:46:04,595 --> 00:46:06,764
Nobody is forcing you to join.
922
00:46:07,181 --> 00:46:08,432
But if you don't...
923
00:46:09,141 --> 00:46:12,144
The wire service can only take care
of its own customers.
924
00:46:12,728 --> 00:46:14,647
- Count me out.
- Me too.
925
00:46:14,939 --> 00:46:15,982
I've had enough!
926
00:46:19,277 --> 00:46:21,487
I'm glad to see
the rest of you guys are smart.
927
00:46:22,071 --> 00:46:23,614
I've got all your phone numbers.
928
00:46:23,906 --> 00:46:25,074
If you want to join up,
929
00:46:25,658 --> 00:46:27,535
let the men at the door
know as you go out.
930
00:46:33,958 --> 00:46:35,334
Press the buzzer, Pop.
931
00:46:40,506 --> 00:46:42,425
Get out of here, all of you.
932
00:46:46,637 --> 00:46:48,556
You're not going to get away with this!
933
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,528
The bookmakers were no match for the
strong-arm tactics of the hoodlums.
934
00:47:02,945 --> 00:47:05,489
To stay in business, they had to
submit to every demand for tribute.
935
00:47:05,781 --> 00:47:08,784
The west coast soon became
one of the syndicates richest assets.
936
00:47:09,076 --> 00:47:11,912
Mal Granger had come a long way
from the telephone company.
937
00:47:13,331 --> 00:47:15,458
Here, you can take care of these things
for me.
938
00:47:15,750 --> 00:47:17,001
I got to go over to the Masons' anyway.
939
00:47:17,293 --> 00:47:18,836
You don't spend much time
on business anymore.
940
00:47:19,128 --> 00:47:20,796
Why should I? The business takes
care of itself.
941
00:47:21,088 --> 00:47:22,882
And, I've got you to count up
the money for me.
942
00:47:23,174 --> 00:47:25,343
That's what I have been doing, Mal,
and it doesn't add up right.
943
00:47:25,634 --> 00:47:27,470
Add it up again.
Maybe you misplaced a decimal.
944
00:47:27,762 --> 00:47:28,888
Me or somebody else did.
945
00:47:29,180 --> 00:47:31,223
You're supposed to be getting
a 50-50 break, aren't you?
946
00:47:31,515 --> 00:47:32,767
That's right.
947
00:47:33,059 --> 00:47:34,977
The syndicate took over
six hundred thousand last month.
948
00:47:35,269 --> 00:47:36,896
You got one hundred forty six thousand.
949
00:47:37,188 --> 00:47:39,065
That's not even 70-30, Mal.
950
00:47:40,483 --> 00:47:42,401
Let me see that again.
951
00:47:44,653 --> 00:47:46,447
They wouldn't do that to me
in my own town.
952
00:47:46,739 --> 00:47:47,490
Wouldn't they though.
953
00:47:47,782 --> 00:47:49,992
Remember they insisted on having
their own runners?
954
00:47:51,077 --> 00:47:52,078
Where did you get those figures?
955
00:47:52,370 --> 00:47:54,246
The bookies trust me, Mal.
They wanted you to see them.
956
00:47:54,538 --> 00:47:55,081
They figured if you knew
957
00:47:55,373 --> 00:47:57,458
you were being taken like they were,
you'd do something about it.
958
00:47:57,750 --> 00:47:59,710
I'm going to have a long talk
with somebody right now.
959
00:48:00,002 --> 00:48:01,212
Do you think she could do anything
about it?
960
00:48:01,504 --> 00:48:02,213
What do you mean, "she"?
961
00:48:02,505 --> 00:48:03,923
That's not the only trouble
you're in, Mal.
962
00:48:04,215 --> 00:48:05,966
Larry Mason isn't exactly stupid,
you know.
963
00:48:06,258 --> 00:48:07,676
You're a little bit out of line,
aren't you?
964
00:48:11,806 --> 00:48:12,848
I know, kid.
965
00:48:13,140 --> 00:48:14,392
He's not the same guy.
966
00:48:14,683 --> 00:48:16,560
But maybe he'll come around.
It's worth waiting for.
967
00:48:17,603 --> 00:48:19,522
Do you want to lay odds on that?
968
00:48:21,273 --> 00:48:22,525
Hi, Mal.
969
00:48:22,817 --> 00:48:24,026
I look a little different, don't I?
970
00:48:24,318 --> 00:48:25,403
The boys did a good job on me.
971
00:48:25,694 --> 00:48:27,154
I guess I have to learn the hard way.
972
00:48:27,446 --> 00:48:30,157
Mal, if you could stake me to a fresh
bankroll so I can open up again,
973
00:48:30,449 --> 00:48:32,410
I'll go along with you all the way.
Will you give me a chance?
974
00:48:32,701 --> 00:48:35,037
You had your chance, Tim. You better get
yourself a new racket.
975
00:48:35,329 --> 00:48:36,914
I got troubles enough of my own.
976
00:48:45,172 --> 00:48:47,883
I'm sorry, Larry, you'll just have to
take off without me.
977
00:48:48,175 --> 00:48:49,677
I don't feel athletic today.
978
00:48:50,261 --> 00:48:54,140
Maybe you'd rather go down to Malibu
and build sandcastles.
979
00:48:54,974 --> 00:48:56,767
That's right, make yourself
right at home.
980
00:48:57,059 --> 00:48:59,311
Maybe you didn't come to see me.
- I came to see you, all right.
981
00:48:59,603 --> 00:49:02,398
I got a message for you and Carl.
You can get yourselves a new partner.
982
00:49:02,815 --> 00:49:04,608
You sound like things
are tough all over.
983
00:49:04,900 --> 00:49:06,777
Better let me buy you a cup of coffee.
- Never mind the coffee.
984
00:49:07,820 --> 00:49:09,113
All right, what is it?
985
00:49:09,405 --> 00:49:10,156
You know what it is.
986
00:49:10,448 --> 00:49:12,533
My agreement called for
a 50-50 cut out here.
987
00:49:12,825 --> 00:49:15,828
I got the figures that prove that all
I'm getting is about 30% to your 70.
988
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:17,830
There are certain expenses
we have to allow for.
989
00:49:18,122 --> 00:49:19,540
And what if the figures
don't all check out?
990
00:49:19,832 --> 00:49:21,625
You're averaging $45,000 a month more
991
00:49:21,917 --> 00:49:23,043
than you were you when
you came in with us.
992
00:49:23,335 --> 00:49:25,212
I don't care what I'm averaging.
My agreement was for 50-50.
993
00:49:25,504 --> 00:49:26,964
If I don't get it, I walk out.
994
00:49:27,381 --> 00:49:29,508
It'll be interesting to see
how you do it.
995
00:49:30,801 --> 00:49:33,512
I've seen a few people try. But somehow,
they never seem to make it.
996
00:49:34,263 --> 00:49:35,639
No, Mal, you're in.
997
00:49:36,140 --> 00:49:38,058
You came along for the ride
and I'm afraid you're with us
998
00:49:38,350 --> 00:49:40,227
till the end of the line.
999
00:49:40,644 --> 00:49:43,063
You better have that coffee.
You look all upset.
1000
00:50:04,293 --> 00:50:06,962
What's the matter, darling? Something's
been bothering you, hasn't it?
1001
00:50:07,588 --> 00:50:08,672
It's funny.
1002
00:50:09,256 --> 00:50:10,925
I was supposed to be a smart girl.
1003
00:50:11,217 --> 00:50:13,052
Played everything for laughs.
1004
00:50:13,344 --> 00:50:15,221
- Now I'm frightened.
- Of what?
1005
00:50:15,971 --> 00:50:17,306
What might happen to you.
1006
00:50:17,598 --> 00:50:18,599
Nothing's gonna happen to me.
1007
00:50:19,099 --> 00:50:21,936
I'll play along with these jokers
until I can grab what they owe me.
1008
00:50:22,228 --> 00:50:23,979
Then we'll light out for keeps.
1009
00:50:24,271 --> 00:50:26,065
Nobody's ever been able to
walk out on them, Mal.
1010
00:50:26,357 --> 00:50:27,900
There's got to be a first time
for everything.
1011
00:50:28,484 --> 00:50:30,402
We found that out, haven't we?
1012
00:50:30,819 --> 00:50:31,737
Yes.
1013
00:50:34,240 --> 00:50:36,367
He was building up
to the payoff right then.
1014
00:50:36,992 --> 00:50:39,203
All Granger needed was a shove.
1015
00:50:39,495 --> 00:50:41,372
It came along a lot sooner
than he expected.
1016
00:50:42,122 --> 00:50:44,708
It came the next Friday night
at the Legion Stadium.
1017
00:51:15,322 --> 00:51:16,657
Hello, Larry.
1018
00:51:16,949 --> 00:51:18,367
Didn't know you liked the fights.
1019
00:51:18,659 --> 00:51:20,077
Me? I'm crazy about them.
1020
00:51:20,369 --> 00:51:22,246
Particularly when I get in for free.
1021
00:51:22,538 --> 00:51:24,290
I found a ticket on Gail's dresser.
1022
00:51:24,582 --> 00:51:27,501
She told me she'd never seen a fight
so I sent her a ticket.
1023
00:51:27,793 --> 00:51:29,753
If I'd known you were coming,
I'd have made it a pair.
1024
00:51:30,045 --> 00:51:31,130
Sure you would, Mal.
1025
00:51:31,422 --> 00:51:32,506
- Peanuts?
- No thanks.
1026
00:51:32,798 --> 00:51:35,342
A fight's not the fights
without peanuts.
1027
00:51:35,634 --> 00:51:39,638
Hey, the kid in blue tights isn't too bad.
Gail would have got a kick out of him.
1028
00:51:40,514 --> 00:51:43,517
Maybe you didn't hear. She had
a little accident this afternoon.
1029
00:51:44,059 --> 00:51:45,394
Accident? When? What happened?
1030
00:51:45,686 --> 00:51:47,271
Fell down some stairs.
1031
00:51:47,563 --> 00:51:49,440
Hurt her jaw and nose.
1032
00:51:49,732 --> 00:51:52,067
Got kind of a black eye too.
1033
00:51:52,735 --> 00:51:55,362
Doctor thought she'd better spend
the night in Hollywood Hospital.
1034
00:51:55,779 --> 00:51:57,573
Stairs, huh? Were you around
when it happened?
1035
00:51:57,865 --> 00:51:59,283
What a punch.
1036
00:52:00,451 --> 00:52:02,328
That kid's really got it.
1037
00:52:02,620 --> 00:52:04,496
Sure, I was around.
1038
00:52:05,789 --> 00:52:08,042
I figured maybe Gail was just tired.
1039
00:52:08,834 --> 00:52:10,252
Not watching what she was doing.
1040
00:52:10,544 --> 00:52:11,962
She's been getting around too much.
1041
00:52:12,254 --> 00:52:13,589
Maybe she doesn't like the way
she's been living.
1042
00:52:13,881 --> 00:52:15,341
Maybe that's why she gets around
so much.
1043
00:52:15,633 --> 00:52:16,425
Could be.
1044
00:52:17,009 --> 00:52:19,011
Who's been spoiling her, Mal?
1045
00:52:19,303 --> 00:52:21,722
Drive-ins, little bars places like this.
1046
00:52:22,681 --> 00:52:24,558
You shouldn't do things like that
for a dame.
1047
00:52:25,059 --> 00:52:27,144
Especially if she doesn't belong to you.
1048
00:52:34,151 --> 00:52:36,487
Only a minute now.
I'm going to give you a sedative.
1049
00:52:44,370 --> 00:52:45,287
Mal.
1050
00:52:46,163 --> 00:52:47,414
It was a good fight.
1051
00:52:47,998 --> 00:52:49,917
But I'm afraid I underrated my opponent.
1052
00:52:50,501 --> 00:52:52,294
I'd like to see him pick on someone
his own size.
1053
00:52:52,586 --> 00:52:53,712
No, it wouldn't help.
1054
00:52:54,296 --> 00:52:55,589
It would only end in a killing.
1055
00:52:56,173 --> 00:52:57,966
If they killed you, I'd die with you.
1056
00:52:58,258 --> 00:53:00,260
I can't stand around
and let this happen.
1057
00:53:00,552 --> 00:53:02,012
Every time I'm not with you,
I'll be afraid...
1058
00:53:02,304 --> 00:53:03,180
No, Mal.
1059
00:53:03,472 --> 00:53:05,307
I don't care about
what Larry does to me.
1060
00:53:05,599 --> 00:53:07,476
But I do care about you.
1061
00:53:08,018 --> 00:53:09,812
If anything happened to you.
- What am I supposed to do?
1062
00:53:10,104 --> 00:53:11,313
Just sit here and relax?
1063
00:53:11,605 --> 00:53:14,024
Right now, we've got to pretend
we never felt this way.
1064
00:53:15,109 --> 00:53:18,028
Mal, you've got to keep coming
to the house as if nothing happened.
1065
00:53:18,612 --> 00:53:19,571
Will you?
1066
00:53:21,615 --> 00:53:22,533
Sure.
1067
00:53:23,617 --> 00:53:25,119
Sure, I'll come around.
1068
00:53:25,994 --> 00:53:27,913
Maybe things will handle themselves.
1069
00:53:28,205 --> 00:53:30,040
Remember the old gag?
1070
00:53:30,332 --> 00:53:32,209
Time wounds all heels?
1071
00:53:55,566 --> 00:53:56,942
Want to see me, Mr. Granger?
1072
00:53:57,234 --> 00:53:59,069
Yeah. Sit down.
1073
00:53:59,987 --> 00:54:01,905
I was feeling kind of lonesome tonight.
1074
00:54:03,991 --> 00:54:05,909
Matter of fact,
I'm feeling very lonesome.
1075
00:54:06,493 --> 00:54:08,579
I thought you had many friends.
Only the other day I...
1076
00:54:08,871 --> 00:54:09,329
Sure.
1077
00:54:09,621 --> 00:54:10,622
I know a lot of people.
1078
00:54:11,081 --> 00:54:12,666
But they're not the right sort.
1079
00:54:16,336 --> 00:54:18,255
I need to meet one man, Rocco.
1080
00:54:19,256 --> 00:54:21,133
One man who can do me a lot of good.
1081
00:54:21,717 --> 00:54:23,927
Who is this man?
- I said I don't know him.
1082
00:54:24,219 --> 00:54:26,472
But I need a man for a job.
1083
00:54:27,055 --> 00:54:28,223
A tough job.
1084
00:54:28,766 --> 00:54:30,559
Surely, Mr. Granger, you know
many such men.
1085
00:54:30,851 --> 00:54:32,436
I also need a stranger.
1086
00:54:33,020 --> 00:54:34,938
Someone who doesn't know me.
1087
00:54:35,689 --> 00:54:37,608
Or anyone in my business.
1088
00:54:41,487 --> 00:54:43,405
Well uh...
1089
00:54:43,989 --> 00:54:45,699
Maybe you need a new sport coat.
1090
00:54:45,991 --> 00:54:48,494
- Sport coat?
- Yeah.
1091
00:54:49,119 --> 00:54:52,498
I know a place where the tailoring
is exceptional. The material the best.
1092
00:54:53,540 --> 00:54:55,459
A place in Beverly Hills called Gizzi.
1093
00:54:55,751 --> 00:54:56,210
Gizzi.
1094
00:54:56,502 --> 00:54:59,171
Gizzi's from Victoria. They just opened
up. I know him real well.
1095
00:54:59,463 --> 00:55:01,673
His father and my father came
from the old country together.
1096
00:55:02,257 --> 00:55:03,175
Gizzi.
1097
00:55:03,467 --> 00:55:04,760
Absolutely reliable.
1098
00:55:05,052 --> 00:55:06,595
Satisfaction guaranteed.
1099
00:55:07,179 --> 00:55:09,056
Just tell him I sent you.
1100
00:55:13,727 --> 00:55:15,270
Thanks, Rocco.
1101
00:55:36,041 --> 00:55:39,378
If you want something, come back
in an hour. The clerk's out to lunch.
1102
00:55:39,670 --> 00:55:41,505
- Are you Gizzi?
- Yeah.
1103
00:55:44,132 --> 00:55:46,510
I'd like to talk to you about
a special job of tailoring.
1104
00:55:47,302 --> 00:55:49,221
I don't do no special jobs.
1105
00:55:49,972 --> 00:55:52,099
Everything here is plainly marked.
1106
00:55:52,391 --> 00:55:54,726
If you like the price, buy it.
If you don't, go someplace else.
1107
00:55:55,894 --> 00:55:57,312
Even a friend of Rocco's?
1108
00:55:59,356 --> 00:56:00,566
Rocco, huh?
1109
00:56:05,279 --> 00:56:06,530
Nice goods.
1110
00:56:07,614 --> 00:56:09,533
You got a lot of nice merchandise here.
1111
00:56:10,117 --> 00:56:10,909
The best.
1112
00:56:19,501 --> 00:56:20,919
You like the way it fits?
1113
00:56:22,045 --> 00:56:23,547
Sure. Looks good to me.
1114
00:56:25,007 --> 00:56:27,175
What's this special job, friend?
1115
00:56:32,264 --> 00:56:33,265
Say...
1116
00:56:34,766 --> 00:56:36,435
No wonder your coats are so expensive.
1117
00:56:37,436 --> 00:56:38,770
Look what I found in the pocket.
1118
00:56:39,187 --> 00:56:40,564
Five thousand dollars.
1119
00:56:41,523 --> 00:56:44,276
I like them better with
ten thousand in them.
1120
00:56:44,568 --> 00:56:46,653
Then the customer is very satisfied.
1121
00:56:52,451 --> 00:56:54,369
Maybe I better try on another coat.
1122
00:57:05,672 --> 00:57:07,883
Cold for you out here, Gail?
Why don't you get yourself a wrap?
1123
00:57:08,175 --> 00:57:09,468
I'm very comfortable, thanks.
1124
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:11,803
We haven't all been together
for a long time, Mal.
1125
00:57:12,095 --> 00:57:13,221
What gave you the idea tonight?
1126
00:57:13,513 --> 00:57:15,474
I thought I'd better let
bygones be bygones.
1127
00:57:19,144 --> 00:57:20,437
Besides I...
1128
00:57:20,729 --> 00:57:21,980
I could use a little gin money.
1129
00:57:22,272 --> 00:57:23,607
Smartening up huh, boy?
1130
00:57:24,566 --> 00:57:25,317
That's more like it.
1131
00:57:25,609 --> 00:57:27,861
I'll still show you that I can
beat you at anything.
1132
00:57:28,153 --> 00:57:29,446
Well, I deal.
1133
00:57:31,865 --> 00:57:33,533
Just giving him a little break.
1134
00:57:45,128 --> 00:57:46,129
Dollar a point?
1135
00:57:46,421 --> 00:57:48,298
Don't want to make it too tough on you.
1136
00:57:48,715 --> 00:57:52,094
But even at a buck a point,
the way you play gin I could retire.
1137
00:57:53,845 --> 00:57:55,472
So, I'll help you retire.
1138
00:57:56,056 --> 00:57:59,017
I could use a little luck, Gail.
Why don't you sit next to me?
1139
00:57:59,893 --> 00:58:01,895
Are you sure you want my advice?
1140
00:58:02,187 --> 00:58:07,609
Sure, go ahead. With you kibitzing he's
a cinch to wind up buying me a new car.
1141
00:58:31,758 --> 00:58:35,012
If I draw another card like that,
I'll think something's crooked.
1142
00:58:35,679 --> 00:58:36,555
You can count on it.
1143
00:58:36,847 --> 00:58:38,432
I have to make a living some way.
1144
00:58:39,057 --> 00:58:40,058
Don't say I didn't warn you.
1145
00:58:40,976 --> 00:58:42,019
I'm very sorry.
1146
00:58:42,310 --> 00:58:44,521
How clumsy can you be.
We better get some water on that.
1147
00:58:44,813 --> 00:58:46,064
No, it's nothing, Mal.
1148
00:58:46,356 --> 00:58:47,941
No, come on, we'll fix it.
1149
00:58:53,321 --> 00:58:54,322
Stay here.
1150
00:59:04,833 --> 00:59:07,044
The first time it's ever happened to us.
1151
00:59:08,086 --> 00:59:09,588
To others, yes but...
1152
00:59:10,005 --> 00:59:11,089
Never to us.
1153
00:59:11,506 --> 00:59:13,091
How did you make outwith the police?
1154
00:59:13,383 --> 00:59:15,052
They sweated me for eight hours.
1155
00:59:15,343 --> 00:59:17,429
When they found out I didn't
know anything, they had to let me go.
1156
00:59:17,721 --> 00:59:19,431
They just told me not to leave town.
1157
00:59:19,723 --> 00:59:21,475
They even questioned me.
1158
00:59:21,767 --> 00:59:23,435
That's bad. Very bad.
1159
00:59:23,727 --> 00:59:26,563
The public should never even be aware
that there is a wire service.
1160
00:59:27,397 --> 00:59:29,066
Lucky you spilled that drink.
1161
00:59:29,483 --> 00:59:31,401
I guess Gail was lucky too.
1162
00:59:31,985 --> 00:59:33,987
- Everyone but Larry.
- Yeah.
1163
00:59:34,279 --> 00:59:36,156
I guess you never know, do you?
1164
00:59:36,573 --> 00:59:38,909
Still can't figure out who would want
to kill him though.
1165
00:59:39,326 --> 00:59:41,536
Unless it was one of those bookies
he batted around.
1166
00:59:41,828 --> 00:59:44,664
I don't think so.
It was too carefully planned.
1167
00:59:45,832 --> 00:59:48,585
We still have our everyday problems.
1168
00:59:49,711 --> 00:59:53,632
We'll all have a little talk. Real soon.
1169
00:59:54,424 --> 00:59:56,927
Don't feel that everything
has just ended, my dear.
1170
00:59:57,385 --> 00:59:58,887
If the police...
1171
00:59:59,346 --> 01:00:01,598
Can't discover Larry's murderer,
we will.
1172
01:00:02,182 --> 01:00:03,433
And when we do,
1173
01:00:04,017 --> 01:00:05,352
there'll be another funeral.
1174
01:00:15,195 --> 01:00:17,114
Are you sure you told me everything?
1175
01:00:17,656 --> 01:00:19,324
I thought you were the girl who knew
all the answers.
1176
01:00:19,616 --> 01:00:20,450
Please, Mal.
1177
01:00:21,034 --> 01:00:22,619
I didn't have anything to do with it.
1178
01:00:23,078 --> 01:00:24,162
You have to believe me.
1179
01:00:24,579 --> 01:00:26,248
Guess I have to.
1180
01:00:27,082 --> 01:00:28,333
I want to, Mal.
1181
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:30,335
Come on.
1182
01:00:43,849 --> 01:00:45,767
I have to get out of this house, Mal.
1183
01:00:46,351 --> 01:00:48,520
Every minute is like waiting for it
to happen again.
1184
01:00:48,812 --> 01:00:50,272
It won't happen again. Not to us.
1185
01:00:50,564 --> 01:00:51,773
I'll find you another place to live.
1186
01:00:52,065 --> 01:00:53,567
Maybe you ought to go
to Palm Springs for a while.
1187
01:00:53,859 --> 01:00:55,610
I want to get away from
the whole business, Mal.
1188
01:00:55,902 --> 01:00:57,445
Not just the house, everything.
1189
01:00:57,737 --> 01:00:59,614
I just want to be with you.
- You'll be with me.
1190
01:01:00,073 --> 01:01:01,908
But I can't cut away now.
1191
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:04,953
They still owe me plenty
from that 70-30 chiseling.
1192
01:01:05,495 --> 01:01:08,123
Six months is all I need to make those
guys pony up every cent they owe me.
1193
01:01:08,415 --> 01:01:10,083
And when you get that, you'll want more.
1194
01:01:10,375 --> 01:01:11,376
Another six months, another year.
1195
01:01:11,668 --> 01:01:13,420
But I'd be a sucker to walk out now.
1196
01:01:13,712 --> 01:01:14,963
Money's the answer to everything.
1197
01:01:15,463 --> 01:01:16,715
- Is it?
- Sure.
1198
01:01:19,801 --> 01:01:21,761
Hello, Trudy.
1199
01:01:24,431 --> 01:01:25,974
Chippie said you wanted to see me.
1200
01:01:26,266 --> 01:01:27,726
That's right. You haven't been
around much lately.
1201
01:01:28,018 --> 01:01:28,810
Anything wrong?
1202
01:01:29,102 --> 01:01:30,187
No, not with me.
1203
01:01:30,478 --> 01:01:31,771
Nothing wrong with the business either.
1204
01:01:32,063 --> 01:01:33,273
I'm declaring a dividend.
1205
01:01:33,565 --> 01:01:35,442
No thanks, Mal, I don't want
any part of it.
1206
01:01:39,154 --> 01:01:41,531
Is that why you haven't dragged down
your last couple of week's salary?
1207
01:01:41,823 --> 01:01:42,574
That's why.
1208
01:01:42,866 --> 01:01:44,242
What for? It's money, isn't it?
1209
01:01:44,659 --> 01:01:46,786
This money has a peculiar smell to it.
1210
01:01:47,078 --> 01:01:48,121
One I don't like.
1211
01:01:48,705 --> 01:01:50,498
Looks like things have changed, Trudy?
1212
01:01:50,790 --> 01:01:51,833
That's right, Mal, things have changed.
1213
01:01:52,125 --> 01:01:54,336
Some of the changes,
I'm not so crazy about either.
1214
01:01:54,628 --> 01:01:55,921
Maybe it's just some of the people.
1215
01:01:56,463 --> 01:01:59,549
You're not nailed to the job.
You can quit any time you like.
1216
01:01:59,841 --> 01:02:01,760
That's what I was thinking.
How do you resign around here?
1217
01:02:02,052 --> 01:02:03,929
I'll save you the trouble. You're fired.
1218
01:02:08,850 --> 01:02:10,227
Any more questions?
1219
01:02:11,478 --> 01:02:13,355
No, I guess you've answered
everything, Mal.
1220
01:02:13,647 --> 01:02:14,481
Good.
1221
01:02:22,405 --> 01:02:24,324
- Mal Granger in?
- Who wants him?
1222
01:02:24,908 --> 01:02:27,577
Just tell him the man who sold him
the suit. That's all you have to say.
1223
01:02:27,869 --> 01:02:29,287
He's pretty busy. What do you want?
1224
01:02:29,579 --> 01:02:32,457
Like I said. Just tell him the man
who sold him the suit.
1225
01:02:32,749 --> 01:02:34,084
All right, wait here.
1226
01:02:49,307 --> 01:02:51,059
Okay, he'll see you.
1227
01:02:58,775 --> 01:03:01,027
How are you, Mal?
You're kind of a tough guy to see.
1228
01:03:01,319 --> 01:03:02,737
Must be pretty busy these days.
1229
01:03:03,154 --> 01:03:05,240
No busier than usual.
What's on your mind?
1230
01:03:05,532 --> 01:03:07,534
It's like this...
1231
01:03:07,826 --> 01:03:10,495
A man always likes to hear a good word
about his work.
1232
01:03:11,413 --> 01:03:14,374
That job I did for you
turned out pretty good, huh?
1233
01:03:14,666 --> 01:03:17,085
Everybody says
you're a real big shot now.
1234
01:03:17,669 --> 01:03:19,587
A big wheel in the syndicate.
1235
01:03:20,130 --> 01:03:21,006
So'?
1236
01:03:21,298 --> 01:03:24,050
So I figure a big wheel
has gotta go out more.
1237
01:03:25,260 --> 01:03:27,178
If you are, you gotta dress up.
1238
01:03:27,971 --> 01:03:30,181
Maybe you need some more suits, huh?
1239
01:03:31,016 --> 01:03:32,392
I got all the clothes
I can use right now.
1240
01:03:32,684 --> 01:03:34,394
Say you put up 25 G's.
1241
01:03:34,686 --> 01:03:35,729
For a new wardrobe.
1242
01:03:36,021 --> 01:03:37,480
Then you'd look good
no matter what comes up.
1243
01:03:38,523 --> 01:03:40,525
I can't afford it. It's too expensive.
1244
01:03:40,817 --> 01:03:42,569
It'd be a good buy.
1245
01:03:42,861 --> 01:03:43,945
I might take a trip back
1246
01:03:44,237 --> 01:03:47,282
to the old country for 3 or 4 months
to see my relatives.
1247
01:03:54,873 --> 01:03:57,709
This would be a good time
for me to take a trip.
1248
01:03:58,293 --> 01:04:00,211
Good for you too.
1249
01:04:02,839 --> 01:04:04,132
Maybe you got a deal, Gizzi.
1250
01:04:04,424 --> 01:04:05,592
If you leave right away.
1251
01:04:06,051 --> 01:04:08,178
I'll have it for you tonight.
1252
01:04:08,470 --> 01:04:10,388
We better meet somewhere
where we won't be seen.
1253
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:12,432
How about the Malibu pier at 10 O'clock?
1254
01:04:12,724 --> 01:04:13,933
Malibu pier.
1255
01:04:14,225 --> 01:04:15,518
10 O'clock.
1256
01:04:24,527 --> 01:04:26,446
Hello.
1257
01:04:27,030 --> 01:04:28,948
Hello, Carl, how are you?
1258
01:04:29,407 --> 01:04:30,408
Tonight?
1259
01:04:32,077 --> 01:04:33,995
Do we have to have a meeting tonight?
1260
01:04:35,747 --> 01:04:37,290
All right, if you say so.
1261
01:04:38,291 --> 01:04:39,751
Dinner at 8:30.
1262
01:04:49,010 --> 01:04:51,846
I'm glad you were able to
spare us the time, Mal.
1263
01:04:52,138 --> 01:04:53,306
Yeah, sure.
1264
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:57,727
This meeting concerns you
perhaps more than it does us.
1265
01:04:58,019 --> 01:04:59,145
What's it all about anyway?
1266
01:05:01,022 --> 01:05:02,273
Larry's death.
1267
01:05:03,650 --> 01:05:07,570
We have decided that for you at least
it has come at an opportune time.
1268
01:05:08,780 --> 01:05:11,241
We're going to put you in charge
of the entire west coast.
1269
01:05:11,825 --> 01:05:13,201
Oh, that's fine.
1270
01:05:13,493 --> 01:05:14,869
But maybe I'm not quite ready yet.
1271
01:05:15,161 --> 01:05:16,413
I've still got a lot to learn.
1272
01:05:16,830 --> 01:05:17,789
Remember me?
1273
01:05:18,665 --> 01:05:20,750
The country boy that got sucked
into a 70-30 deal?
1274
01:05:21,042 --> 01:05:22,794
We told you that was necessary expenses.
1275
01:05:23,086 --> 01:05:24,462
You got nothing to kick about.
1276
01:05:24,754 --> 01:05:26,714
You'll be getting a part of
Larry's take from now on.
1277
01:05:27,006 --> 01:05:32,053
The big problem on this coast is to
take care of Larry's murderer.
1278
01:05:33,096 --> 01:05:35,723
As long as the assassin is free,
1279
01:05:36,015 --> 01:05:37,892
others might get ideas about us.
1280
01:05:38,351 --> 01:05:40,061
Maybe we ought to let
the police handle it.
1281
01:05:40,353 --> 01:05:42,188
They at least have got some leads.
1282
01:05:42,772 --> 01:05:46,401
It would have a more salutary effect
if we took care of it ourselves.
1283
01:05:46,693 --> 01:05:48,945
And I mean to do just that.
1284
01:05:51,072 --> 01:05:53,408
What we must decide tonight...
1285
01:05:53,700 --> 01:05:54,993
ls where to start.
1286
01:05:55,660 --> 01:05:58,121
Larry's murder was obviously
one of revenge.
1287
01:05:58,413 --> 01:05:59,747
Did you make out that list?
1288
01:06:00,039 --> 01:06:02,000
We had a little trouble
around Kansas City.
1289
01:06:02,292 --> 01:06:03,668
Kelly and Rasta both swore to get him.
1290
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:04,919
Mm-hmm.
1291
01:06:05,211 --> 01:06:06,212
But they didn't.
1292
01:06:06,713 --> 01:06:08,256
I've already checked there.
1293
01:06:08,548 --> 01:06:10,425
Kelly has been in the hospital
for months.
1294
01:06:11,176 --> 01:06:12,343
And Rasta
1295
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:14,929
was in Kansas City
the night Larry was killed.
1296
01:06:16,347 --> 01:06:18,266
You know,
maybe it was someone from out here.
1297
01:06:18,725 --> 01:06:20,018
Somebody he crossed.
1298
01:06:21,144 --> 01:06:22,187
It was.
1299
01:06:22,979 --> 01:06:24,147
I'm sure of that.
1300
01:06:25,106 --> 01:06:26,900
But none of these local bookmakers would
1301
01:06:27,192 --> 01:06:29,486
dare to attempt such a rubout.
1302
01:06:30,653 --> 01:06:34,115
Unless, of course, they hired
someone to do it.
1303
01:06:34,407 --> 01:06:36,284
And probably someone from out of town.
1304
01:06:36,784 --> 01:06:39,204
There's one guy in L.A.
who might handle a job like this.
1305
01:06:39,496 --> 01:06:41,706
I knew him back in Detroit.
His name's Gizzi.
1306
01:06:42,832 --> 01:06:46,503
Surely there must be more than one
suspect in a town of this size.
1307
01:06:47,420 --> 01:06:50,298
I think we better call
all the hoodlums in.
1308
01:06:51,216 --> 01:06:53,426
- What do you think, Mal?
- Yeah, sure.
1309
01:06:53,718 --> 01:06:54,344
Good idea.
1310
01:06:54,636 --> 01:06:55,512
I'll take care of it.
1311
01:06:55,803 --> 01:06:56,471
Good.
1312
01:06:56,763 --> 01:06:59,182
Then we'll start with Mr. Gizzi and
1313
01:06:59,474 --> 01:07:00,642
go on from there.
1314
01:07:01,267 --> 01:07:04,562
Sorry to have taken up so much
of your time, Mal, but
1315
01:07:05,438 --> 01:07:08,942
I hope you realize
that this business is urgent.
1316
01:07:09,234 --> 01:07:10,401
Oh, sure, sure.
1317
01:07:11,444 --> 01:07:12,529
Good night.
1318
01:07:15,281 --> 01:07:15,949
Good night.
1319
01:07:19,494 --> 01:07:21,412
- Good night.
- See you.
1320
01:07:55,488 --> 01:07:57,198
Thee you are, Gizzi.
1321
01:07:58,157 --> 01:07:59,450
And take my advice.
1322
01:07:59,742 --> 01:08:01,286
Make this a nice long trip.
1323
01:08:04,163 --> 01:08:05,290
Think I should?
1324
01:08:07,542 --> 01:08:10,545
I got to worrying
after I left you today.
1325
01:08:10,962 --> 01:08:12,839
What happens
if somebody puts the heat on you?
1326
01:08:13,131 --> 01:08:14,465
- Who's gonna protect you then?
- I will.
1327
01:08:14,757 --> 01:08:16,301
You just go and visit your relatives.
1328
01:08:16,593 --> 01:08:18,344
Believe me, you need this trip.
1329
01:08:18,636 --> 01:08:21,514
I waited a long time.
I can wait a little longer.
1330
01:08:22,140 --> 01:08:24,767
Particularly now I got my eye
on a new business.
1331
01:08:25,059 --> 01:08:25,935
Oh, not mine.
1332
01:08:26,477 --> 01:08:28,229
- Yours.
- I'll handle it myself.
1333
01:08:28,521 --> 01:08:29,564
I don't need you, Gizzi.
1334
01:08:29,856 --> 01:08:31,065
I say you do.
1335
01:08:31,566 --> 01:08:33,026
Just a silent partner.
1336
01:08:33,318 --> 01:08:35,528
Somebody to look after your interests
while you
1337
01:08:35,820 --> 01:08:36,946
chase around with that dame of Mason's.
1338
01:08:37,238 --> 01:08:38,114
You leave her out of this.
1339
01:08:38,406 --> 01:08:40,575
After all she's pretty and young.
1340
01:08:41,159 --> 01:08:43,661
She might get into all kind of trouble
if you don't keep her happy.
1341
01:08:43,953 --> 01:08:45,079
I tell you, leave her out of this.
1342
01:08:45,371 --> 01:08:47,373
Kind of stubborn, huh?
Well, get off it.
1343
01:08:47,665 --> 01:08:50,084
You can't afford to argue,
Now on, you're cutting me in.
1344
01:08:50,376 --> 01:08:52,128
I'd have to figure out
how to cut you in.
1345
01:08:52,420 --> 01:08:53,630
And while I was figuring it,
1346
01:08:54,047 --> 01:08:55,548
a lot of things might happen.
1347
01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:58,009
A lot more will happen
if you don't cut me in.
1348
01:08:58,843 --> 01:09:02,096
I'll give you till tomorrow
to make up your mind.
1349
01:09:05,350 --> 01:09:07,644
I get kind of nervous
when people keep me waiting.
1350
01:09:13,691 --> 01:09:15,610
I'll be seeing you, partner.
1351
01:09:51,646 --> 01:09:53,064
You look sick.
1352
01:09:53,606 --> 01:09:55,525
Get me a drink.
1353
01:09:56,109 --> 01:09:57,944
Am I glad you're home.
1354
01:09:58,236 --> 01:10:00,279
I tried all over town to catch you.
1355
01:10:01,739 --> 01:10:03,658
That cop wants you to call him.
1356
01:10:04,659 --> 01:10:06,536
- Pete Wright?
- Yeah.
1357
01:10:06,828 --> 01:10:08,705
He wants to talk to you tonight.
1358
01:10:12,500 --> 01:10:14,293
What does he want?
Where did you tell him I was?
1359
01:10:14,585 --> 01:10:15,920
I just said you would call him. Period.
1360
01:10:16,212 --> 01:10:20,133
I tried to stall him. Told him I thought
you went to Palm Springs to see Gail.
1361
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:31,018
I'd call him right now if I were you.
1362
01:10:31,310 --> 01:10:33,187
You don't want him coming here
to pick you up.
1363
01:11:05,011 --> 01:11:06,053
Long distance?
1364
01:11:06,345 --> 01:11:09,265
I want Palm Springs 23654.
1365
01:11:16,314 --> 01:11:18,107
- Hello.
- Hello, Gail?
1366
01:11:18,399 --> 01:11:20,109
Oh, Mal, I've been hoping you'd call.
1367
01:11:21,778 --> 01:11:22,945
Is anything wrong?
1368
01:11:23,237 --> 01:11:24,447
I'll tell you about it when I see you.
1369
01:11:24,739 --> 01:11:26,282
But you got to do something
for me right away.
1370
01:11:26,574 --> 01:11:28,910
You know that relay amplifier
I rigged up when I was down there?
1371
01:11:29,202 --> 01:11:30,912
That thing I used to keep in touch
with all the offices?
1372
01:11:31,204 --> 01:11:32,330
Yes, it's still here but...
1373
01:11:32,622 --> 01:11:33,664
What's all this about?
1374
01:11:34,415 --> 01:11:36,292
- Is it Carl?
- Not yet.
1375
01:11:36,584 --> 01:11:39,170
But unless you do exactly as I tell you,
I'm going to be in a lot of trouble.
1376
01:11:39,462 --> 01:11:40,254
Go ahead, Mal.
1377
01:11:40,546 --> 01:11:41,589
Pick up the other phone.
1378
01:11:41,881 --> 01:11:45,802
And call Pete Wright of the gangster
squad in Los Angeles.
1379
01:11:46,093 --> 01:11:48,930
When you get him, put each phone
in the cradles of the amplifier.
1380
01:11:49,222 --> 01:11:50,056
You understand that?
1381
01:11:50,598 --> 01:11:51,557
Okay. Call him.
1382
01:12:00,775 --> 01:12:01,943
Okay, Mal.
1383
01:12:09,951 --> 01:12:11,202
Hello, operator.
1384
01:12:11,494 --> 01:12:15,206
I want to call Los Angeles.
Michigan 5211, please.
1385
01:12:18,376 --> 01:12:21,212
Lieutenant Wright please.
Palm Springs calling.
1386
01:12:24,382 --> 01:12:25,716
Gangster Squad, Wright speaking.
1387
01:12:26,008 --> 01:12:28,636
Hello, Lieutenant Wright,
this is Gail Mason.
1388
01:12:29,220 --> 01:12:31,138
Just a moment. Mal wants to talk to you.
1389
01:12:31,722 --> 01:12:33,641
Put the beeper on. I want this recorded.
1390
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:41,607
Hello, Granger?
1391
01:12:42,149 --> 01:12:44,235
What are you doing in Palm Springs?
You were told not to leave town.
1392
01:12:44,527 --> 01:12:46,112
That's what I'm calling you about.
1393
01:12:46,404 --> 01:12:48,072
Gail needed a rest pretty badly and...
1394
01:12:48,364 --> 01:12:49,782
I thought I could
use some sun myself so, uh,
1395
01:12:50,074 --> 01:12:52,201
We decided to run down here on our own.
1396
01:12:52,493 --> 01:12:53,911
I thought you'd be sort of celebrating.
1397
01:12:54,203 --> 01:12:56,080
Word's around town
you just had a promotion.
1398
01:12:57,206 --> 01:12:59,792
How does it feel
having Larry Mason's old job?
1399
01:13:00,084 --> 01:13:01,294
You know a lot, don't you?
1400
01:13:01,586 --> 01:13:04,881
I like to keep tabs on a guy who's
going up in the world so rapidly.
1401
01:13:05,172 --> 01:13:05,923
Thanks-
1402
01:13:06,215 --> 01:13:06,966
Don't mention it.
1403
01:13:07,258 --> 01:13:08,467
Better stay put, Granger. That's all.
1404
01:13:09,302 --> 01:13:11,846
I just wanted him on the record
about taking over the West Coast.
1405
01:13:12,138 --> 01:13:12,889
Well, we've got it.
1406
01:13:13,180 --> 01:13:15,391
It may come in handy
if we ever go before the Grand Jury.
1407
01:13:19,061 --> 01:13:21,522
This coroner's report
doesn't add up at all.
1408
01:13:21,814 --> 01:13:24,942
According to him, Gizzi was crushed to
death before he was dumped in the ocean.
1409
01:13:25,234 --> 01:13:26,319
No water in his lungs.
1410
01:13:27,069 --> 01:13:28,988
The crime lab report isn't in yet.
1411
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:31,198
For my money, it's just another
wrong guy rubbed out.
1412
01:13:31,490 --> 01:13:32,700
But it wasn't a gang job.
1413
01:13:32,992 --> 01:13:34,285
It doesn't have
the right characteristics.
1414
01:13:34,577 --> 01:13:35,494
He had money on him.
1415
01:13:35,786 --> 01:13:37,330
So robbery's out.
1416
01:13:37,622 --> 01:13:38,873
I think it was done
on the spur of the moment.
1417
01:13:39,165 --> 01:13:40,333
I can't get it.
1418
01:13:41,292 --> 01:13:42,126
What's the matter?
1419
01:13:42,418 --> 01:13:43,878
If it's not Bing Crosby,
you don't like it?
1420
01:13:44,170 --> 01:13:46,839
It's that one you ran on Granger.
I can't get part of it.
1421
01:13:47,131 --> 01:13:49,342
A whistle keeps drowning out
something he's saying.
1422
01:13:49,634 --> 01:13:51,135
Let me hear it.
Maybe I can figure it out.
1423
01:13:51,427 --> 01:13:52,428
Right here.
1424
01:13:53,137 --> 01:13:55,014
Gail needed a rest pretty badly and...
1425
01:13:55,306 --> 01:13:57,099
so, uh...
1426
01:13:57,391 --> 01:13:59,268
decided to run down here on our own.
1427
01:13:59,769 --> 01:14:01,520
That's some kind of a streetcar whistle.
1428
01:14:01,812 --> 01:14:03,814
Whatever it is, they don't have
any transportation running
1429
01:14:04,106 --> 01:14:06,233
right through the center
of Palm Springs.
1430
01:14:06,525 --> 01:14:08,319
You know a lot, don't you?
1431
01:14:08,611 --> 01:14:10,571
Granger wasn't there at all.
1432
01:14:10,863 --> 01:14:13,532
Why did he go to so much trouble
to rig up an alibi?
1433
01:14:14,533 --> 01:14:16,077
We better have a talk with him.
1434
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:34,011
Mal.
1435
01:14:35,137 --> 01:14:37,765
Mal, this happened right about
the time you talked to me.
1436
01:14:38,391 --> 01:14:39,475
Well?
1437
01:14:41,394 --> 01:14:43,187
Did your alibi have
anything to do with this?
1438
01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:45,982
You've been around long enough
not to ask questions like that.
1439
01:14:47,149 --> 01:14:48,401
Who was he, Mal?
1440
01:14:48,693 --> 01:14:49,735
How do I know?
1441
01:14:51,404 --> 01:14:52,655
Was he the one who shot Larry?
1442
01:14:55,366 --> 01:14:57,576
You hired him to kill Larry
then you had to kill him.
1443
01:14:58,786 --> 01:15:00,329
I never thought that you'd...
1444
01:15:00,621 --> 01:15:01,539
That I'd What?
1445
01:15:02,498 --> 01:15:04,417
Murder.
- Don't say that. I don't like it!
1446
01:15:18,472 --> 01:15:20,099
That's what Larry would have done.
1447
01:15:21,308 --> 01:15:23,644
I'm sorry. It will never
happen again. I promise you.
1448
01:15:28,274 --> 01:15:30,192
I just don't want anything
to happen to you.
1449
01:15:31,485 --> 01:15:32,737
Nothing's going to happen to me.
1450
01:15:54,133 --> 01:15:55,092
Hello?
1451
01:15:55,718 --> 01:15:56,969
Oh, hello, Wright.
1452
01:15:57,720 --> 01:15:59,638
Yeah, sure, I'm still down here.
1453
01:16:02,183 --> 01:16:04,477
What's all the rush about?
1454
01:16:07,271 --> 01:16:08,230
All right.
1455
01:16:08,814 --> 01:16:10,733
See you at headquarters at 3 O'clock.
1456
01:16:12,860 --> 01:16:14,528
What do you mean you don't know
what that whistle is?
1457
01:16:15,112 --> 01:16:16,363
Take another look, Granger.
1458
01:16:16,655 --> 01:16:18,949
This is a recording
of a streetcar whistle.
1459
01:16:19,241 --> 01:16:22,203
This is a recording of your phone call.
1460
01:16:24,121 --> 01:16:26,791
Identical sounds. Streetcar whistles.
1461
01:16:27,374 --> 01:16:29,710
There are no streetcars in Palm Springs.
1462
01:16:30,503 --> 01:16:32,421
I still don't know what
you're so excited about.
1463
01:16:32,838 --> 01:16:34,340
I've been around electronics.
1464
01:16:34,632 --> 01:16:36,592
You could have butched up
that recording yourself.
1465
01:16:36,884 --> 01:16:39,804
It might have been a streetcar from
around here. They do go past here.
1466
01:16:40,096 --> 01:16:41,472
You think of everything, don't you?
1467
01:16:41,764 --> 01:16:43,641
But you were framing
an alibi that night.
1468
01:16:44,100 --> 01:16:45,434
That cathode ray proves it.
1469
01:16:45,726 --> 01:16:47,061
Why should I need an alibi?
1470
01:16:47,353 --> 01:16:48,145
You tell us.
1471
01:16:48,437 --> 01:16:49,814
A lot of things happened that night.
1472
01:16:50,106 --> 01:16:51,524
But only one would interest you.
1473
01:16:52,108 --> 01:16:52,983
A guy named Gizzi.
1474
01:16:53,275 --> 01:16:54,401
The guy went off the pier?
1475
01:16:54,693 --> 01:16:56,195
I never even heard of him.
1476
01:16:56,487 --> 01:16:58,781
If you guys are going to drag me down
here every time you get a brainstorm...
1477
01:16:59,073 --> 01:16:59,824
We are.
1478
01:17:00,116 --> 01:17:02,743
And one of those brainstorms is going
to get you in trouble, big shot.
1479
01:17:03,244 --> 01:17:05,663
I have a hunch you got my message
at the beach all right.
1480
01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:08,916
But you didn't call Palm Springs from
your house. You're too smart for that.
1481
01:17:09,208 --> 01:17:10,918
You probably went to the drug store
and called Mrs. Mason
1482
01:17:11,210 --> 01:17:13,003
and had her hook up your call.
1483
01:17:13,295 --> 01:17:15,297
You've heard of relay amplifiers,
haven't you?
1484
01:17:15,589 --> 01:17:17,091
Maybe I have and maybe I haven't.
1485
01:17:17,383 --> 01:17:20,761
I'm tired of playing games
over some stupid train whistle.
1486
01:17:21,053 --> 01:17:23,722
Either book me, let me call my lawyer,
or let me get out of here.
1487
01:17:24,306 --> 01:17:25,850
Okay, Granger, you can beat it.
1488
01:17:26,142 --> 01:17:26,851
Thanks.
1489
01:17:27,143 --> 01:17:28,853
The next time I bring you in,
it's to stay.
1490
01:17:29,145 --> 01:17:30,980
So don't get any ideas
about leaving town.
1491
01:17:31,272 --> 01:17:33,149
What makes you think
there's going to be a next time?
1492
01:17:37,194 --> 01:17:39,488
Don't worry, we'll be ready
in five minutes.
1493
01:17:41,448 --> 01:17:42,992
That's not what I'm worried about.
1494
01:17:43,784 --> 01:17:46,078
There's nothing the matter, is there?
You're going with me?
1495
01:17:47,329 --> 01:17:48,455
Of course I am.
1496
01:17:48,747 --> 01:17:50,624
All right, you wanted to get away.
Now you're doing it.
1497
01:17:53,002 --> 01:17:53,878
Look.
1498
01:17:54,461 --> 01:17:58,174
You know I wouldn't let anything happen
to you. I got everything figured out.
1499
01:17:58,757 --> 01:18:00,676
If it were only the police, Mal,
we'd have a chance.
1500
01:18:01,135 --> 01:18:02,178
But there's Carl.
1501
01:18:02,928 --> 01:18:05,598
I've seen too many try it but I've
never seen anyone make it.
1502
01:18:05,890 --> 01:18:07,766
Come here, let me show you something.
1503
01:18:12,313 --> 01:18:15,065
There's $230,000 in cash.
1504
01:18:15,357 --> 01:18:17,234
I didn't get that by being stupid.
1505
01:18:17,693 --> 01:18:19,904
And I know where I got about
that much more waiting.
1506
01:18:20,362 --> 01:18:22,156
And I'll tell you where
we're going to get it.
1507
01:18:22,448 --> 01:18:23,532
We're going to Las Vegas.
1508
01:18:23,824 --> 01:18:25,075
You, me and Chippie.
1509
01:18:25,492 --> 01:18:27,077
Las Vegas?
1510
01:18:27,494 --> 01:18:29,330
That's the last place Carl will figure.
1511
01:18:31,749 --> 01:18:35,085
This is one time I make those guys
pay off every cent they owe me.
1512
01:18:36,462 --> 01:18:39,882
While I was still trying to hook up
Granger with Gizzi's murder in L.A.,
1513
01:18:40,174 --> 01:18:42,051
he was fixing things for a real haul.
1514
01:18:42,343 --> 01:18:43,677
It was a dangerous plan.
1515
01:18:43,969 --> 01:18:46,138
But by now, Mal was too driven to care.
1516
01:18:46,430 --> 01:18:48,849
Mal knew which books the syndicate
owned in las Vegas.
1517
01:18:49,141 --> 01:18:51,185
And he was going to past post them.
1518
01:18:51,477 --> 01:18:54,438
If he was caught,
he was dead right then.
1519
01:18:54,730 --> 01:18:58,525
He tapped the cables of the wire service
that led to all the horse parlors.
1520
01:18:58,817 --> 01:19:01,487
And electrically set their clocks
back two minutes.
1521
01:19:02,238 --> 01:19:04,156
Then he stretched wires
into a hotel room.
1522
01:19:04,740 --> 01:19:07,451
Between the connections
were tape recording machines.
1523
01:19:08,702 --> 01:19:11,580
By next afternoon, Granger was
all set for the kill.
1524
01:19:12,581 --> 01:19:13,374
How do I look?
1525
01:19:13,666 --> 01:19:15,459
Hope I look better than I feel,
'cause I don't feel so good.
1526
01:19:15,751 --> 01:19:17,169
You look fine, Chippie.
Now, you got it straight?
1527
01:19:17,461 --> 01:19:19,755
Your station is at the horse parlor
across the way.
1528
01:19:20,047 --> 01:19:20,839
When I get the winner,
1529
01:19:21,131 --> 01:19:23,175
I'll cut in on the loudspeaker
with the late price change.
1530
01:19:23,467 --> 01:19:25,010
I'll use a phony voice like this.
1531
01:19:25,302 --> 01:19:27,888
Flash. The odds on number three
in the seventh
1532
01:19:28,180 --> 01:19:30,266
race are now 8 to 1.
- Hey, that's good.
1533
01:19:30,557 --> 01:19:32,977
Now the number of the horse
I call is the winner.
1534
01:19:33,269 --> 01:19:35,521
And I'm going to sock $3,000 across the
board on number 7 in the eighth race.
1535
01:19:35,813 --> 01:19:39,108
No, the seventh race. Number 3
in the seventh race.
1536
01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:40,859
Mal, what if I get it wrong?
- Don't worry, Chippie.
1537
01:19:41,151 --> 01:19:43,153
It'll be the last time you ever get
anything wrong in your life.
1538
01:19:43,445 --> 01:19:45,072
- I hope so.
- Now remember.
1539
01:19:45,364 --> 01:19:47,199
It's just the number of the horse I call
1540
01:19:47,491 --> 01:19:49,159
and the seventh and eighth
races in California but
1541
01:19:49,451 --> 01:19:51,203
you gotta make a couple of
sucker bets first.
1542
01:19:51,495 --> 01:19:53,747
If I want to pick a loser, I'll pick
a winner. It's just my luck.
1543
01:19:54,039 --> 01:19:55,749
No, we got to build up
a couple of losses
1544
01:19:56,041 --> 01:19:57,293
so they won't think anything about it
1545
01:19:57,584 --> 01:19:59,128
when we really start to
chunk it in later.
1546
01:20:00,504 --> 01:20:01,463
Okay, get going.
1547
01:20:01,755 --> 01:20:03,632
I've already told Gail what to do.
1548
01:20:04,633 --> 01:20:06,719
In the third in California
1549
01:20:07,011 --> 01:20:09,096
Make the show horse $2.60
1550
01:20:09,388 --> 01:20:10,597
instead of $2.80.
1551
01:20:10,889 --> 01:20:13,434
They're nearing the post
for the seventh in California.
1552
01:20:13,726 --> 01:20:15,394
Here's the reading.
1553
01:20:15,686 --> 01:20:17,021
Here are the readings.
1554
01:20:17,479 --> 01:20:19,231
Even money on top.
1555
01:20:19,815 --> 01:20:21,734
20, 4
1556
01:20:22,151 --> 01:20:22,943
1557
1556
01:20:23,235 --> 01:20:24,361
scratch one.
1558
01:20:24,653 --> 01:20:26,530
10,6
1559
01:20:27,114 --> 01:20:29,033
2 1/2 and 8 on the bottom.
1560
01:20:30,200 --> 01:20:31,910
Granger was now ready.
1561
01:20:32,202 --> 01:20:35,039
He was recording the running of the race
on one tape recorder.
1562
01:20:35,331 --> 01:20:37,875
And holding up the recorded results
for two minutes.
1563
01:20:38,167 --> 01:20:41,962
On the other machine he was releasing
the delayed results to the horse parlors
1564
01:20:42,546 --> 01:20:45,049
They're off and running in the seventh
in California.
1565
01:20:45,758 --> 01:20:48,218
At the quarter it's number 8 by a neck.
1566
01:20:48,510 --> 01:20:50,387
Number 6 by a head.
1567
01:20:50,679 --> 01:20:51,972
And number 2.
1568
01:20:53,807 --> 01:20:56,935
They're still at the post
in the seventh at California.
1569
01:20:57,227 --> 01:21:02,024
They're still at the post in the seventh
at California. Number 3 is acting up.
1570
01:21:11,492 --> 01:21:13,077
Nothing to it.
1571
01:21:14,370 --> 01:21:15,162
In the stretch,
1572
01:21:15,454 --> 01:21:17,247
It's number 2 by a length,
1573
01:21:17,539 --> 01:21:19,166
number 6 by a head,
1574
01:21:19,750 --> 01:21:21,752
and number 8 is running third.
1575
01:21:22,044 --> 01:21:23,712
Here are the winners at California,
1576
01:21:24,296 --> 01:21:26,924
Number 2 wins it by three lengths.
1577
01:21:28,258 --> 01:21:29,510
They're still at the post.
1578
01:21:30,094 --> 01:21:31,178
Here comes a flash.
1579
01:21:31,929 --> 01:21:33,138
Here comes a flash.
1580
01:21:33,722 --> 01:21:34,932
Number 2
1581
01:21:35,391 --> 01:21:37,976
Number 2 is now 15
1582
01:21:38,268 --> 01:21:40,562
Number 2 is now 15
1583
01:21:41,397 --> 01:21:43,524
Two thousand across the board
on number 2 please.
1584
01:21:43,816 --> 01:21:44,775
Yes, ma'am.
1585
01:21:46,985 --> 01:21:49,154
Three thousand across the board
on number 2.
1586
01:21:49,446 --> 01:21:51,323
Just a minute. Al?
1587
01:21:52,574 --> 01:21:55,411
This fellow wants to bet $3,000
across the board on number 2.
1588
01:21:55,702 --> 01:21:57,496
They're not off yet in California.
1589
01:21:57,788 --> 01:21:58,914
Number 2
1590
01:21:59,206 --> 01:22:00,457
Is back to 20.
1591
01:22:00,749 --> 01:22:02,501
He's already lost $8,000.
1592
01:22:02,793 --> 01:22:04,002
Guess he's trying to get even.
1593
01:22:04,294 --> 01:22:06,046
Take it. They're still at the post.
1594
01:22:06,338 --> 01:22:07,256
Okay-
1595
01:22:11,468 --> 01:22:14,138
They're off and running
in the seventh at California.
1596
01:22:14,430 --> 01:22:17,099
At the quarter it's number 8 by a neck,
1597
01:22:17,391 --> 01:22:18,851
Number 6 by a head,
1598
01:22:19,143 --> 01:22:20,519
And number 2.
1599
01:22:20,811 --> 01:22:23,856
At the half it's number 6
by a half a length,
1600
01:22:24,148 --> 01:22:25,941
Number 2 by a head,
1601
01:22:26,233 --> 01:22:27,443
and number 8.
1602
01:22:27,734 --> 01:22:29,153
In the stretch,
1603
01:22:29,445 --> 01:22:31,196
It's number 2 by a length,
1604
01:22:31,488 --> 01:22:33,198
number 6 by a head,
1605
01:22:33,490 --> 01:22:35,242
and number 8 is running third.
1606
01:22:35,534 --> 01:22:37,411
Here are the winners at California,
1607
01:22:37,828 --> 01:22:40,205
Number 2 wins it by three lengths.
1608
01:22:40,497 --> 01:22:42,291
Number 6 is second.
1609
01:22:42,583 --> 01:22:44,460
And number 8 is third.
1610
01:22:46,712 --> 01:22:49,465
It's okay in California in the eighth.
1611
01:22:49,756 --> 01:22:52,009
That's number 9 Milargo,
1612
01:22:52,301 --> 01:22:54,052
number 1 Zapata,
1613
01:22:54,344 --> 01:22:56,305
and number 3 Thirador.
1614
01:22:56,597 --> 01:22:58,724
That's 9, 1, and 3.
1615
01:23:00,184 --> 01:23:01,768
Pardon me.
1616
01:23:11,570 --> 01:23:13,113
You hit us pretty hard.
1617
01:23:13,405 --> 01:23:15,574
I'm afraid we haven't got this kind
of money on hand.
1618
01:23:15,866 --> 01:23:17,576
Would you mind taking a check?
You can cash it
1619
01:23:17,868 --> 01:23:19,536
at the bank when it opens
in the morning.
1620
01:23:20,120 --> 01:23:21,705
I guess it'll be all right.
1621
01:23:22,289 --> 01:23:23,582
I'll get it right away.
1622
01:23:24,458 --> 01:23:26,960
Here you are, Chippie.
The hotel paid Gail off in cash.
1623
01:23:27,252 --> 01:23:28,545
Did you get rid of those
lines on the roof?
1624
01:23:28,837 --> 01:23:30,881
You wouldn't know anybody was up
there. Not even a cigarette butt on it.
1625
01:23:31,173 --> 01:23:34,051
All we got to do is cash Chippie's check
in the morning and then, darling...
1626
01:23:34,510 --> 01:23:35,427
We're retired.
1627
01:23:35,719 --> 01:23:36,803
I'm afraid.
1628
01:23:37,346 --> 01:23:39,097
Between the police and Carl.
- It's all over.
1629
01:23:39,389 --> 01:23:40,724
We're going to sink without a trace.
1630
01:23:41,016 --> 01:23:43,227
We just lie low at the Boulder Inn
for a couple of weeks and then
1631
01:23:43,519 --> 01:23:44,436
we're off to Guatemala.
1632
01:23:44,728 --> 01:23:45,938
Maybe you will, but how about me?
1633
01:23:46,230 --> 01:23:48,106
If they start looking,
Vegas will give them all the answers.
1634
01:23:48,398 --> 01:23:49,233
Now, let's not borrow trouble.
1635
01:23:49,525 --> 01:23:51,527
There's only one road out. If they
check the railroads and the airlines...
1636
01:23:51,818 --> 01:23:52,402
Chippie...
1637
01:23:52,694 --> 01:23:55,239
Just in case of a tie,
I got a place all picked out.
1638
01:23:55,822 --> 01:23:57,824
That's him all right.
1639
01:23:58,116 --> 01:23:59,409
He didn't say his name was Granger.
1640
01:23:59,993 --> 01:24:02,329
He brought in a Cadillac
with a marked up fender.
1641
01:24:02,621 --> 01:24:04,957
I rubbed it down and airbrushed it
while he waited.
1642
01:24:05,249 --> 01:24:06,375
Made it look good as new.
1643
01:24:06,667 --> 01:24:08,835
And the paint was identical with
the sample we showed you?
1644
01:24:09,127 --> 01:24:10,837
Yeah, Cadillac green.
1645
01:24:11,129 --> 01:24:12,923
Thanks. That's all we need.
1646
01:24:13,215 --> 01:24:14,216
Let's pick up Granger.
1647
01:24:14,508 --> 01:24:16,510
Nobody else has been able to tell me
how my books
1648
01:24:16,802 --> 01:24:19,429
were hit for a quarter of a million
dollars in one day, Healy.
1649
01:24:20,055 --> 01:24:22,057
What makes you think you can?
- Nothing maybe.
1650
01:24:22,349 --> 01:24:24,893
But the day it happened, I saw
Chippie Evans cashing a wad.
1651
01:24:25,310 --> 01:24:26,812
And Mal Granger was in town too.
1652
01:24:27,104 --> 01:24:27,813
I saw him.
1653
01:24:28,105 --> 01:24:28,730
Go on.
1654
01:24:29,022 --> 01:24:30,524
I just figured they went down
for the weekend.
1655
01:24:30,816 --> 01:24:32,150
When I heard what happened...
1656
01:24:32,442 --> 01:24:33,819
You'll figure it out for yourself.
1657
01:24:34,111 --> 01:24:35,988
Now it adds up.
1658
01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:39,658
Only one man in the world would know
how to past post up here.
1659
01:24:40,158 --> 01:24:41,285
Mal Granger.
1660
01:24:42,035 --> 01:24:44,413
Now I'm sure of a lot of things.
1661
01:24:44,705 --> 01:24:45,706
Larry's death.
1662
01:24:45,998 --> 01:24:47,207
Mrs. Mason was with him.
1663
01:24:48,125 --> 01:24:49,710
You've done us a favor, Healy.
1664
01:24:50,002 --> 01:24:51,503
When I get back to L.A.,
1665
01:24:51,795 --> 01:24:53,755
I'll see that you're set up
with a new book.
1666
01:24:54,047 --> 01:24:54,840
Thanks.
1667
01:24:55,132 --> 01:24:58,260
Now if you could just tell us
where Granger is staying.
1668
01:24:58,552 --> 01:24:59,636
He's not here now.
1669
01:25:00,095 --> 01:25:02,681
He wouldn't take a chance on getting
cut off in a place like this.
1670
01:25:03,265 --> 01:25:06,101
That's why you'll never be anything
but a bookmaker, Healy.
1671
01:25:06,810 --> 01:25:08,604
Mal Granger's too smart to run.
1672
01:25:08,895 --> 01:25:12,274
He'd stay right here expecting us
to be searching the country for him.
1673
01:25:12,566 --> 01:25:13,984
We heard about an hour ago
that the police
1674
01:25:14,276 --> 01:25:17,779
were down at his place in Malibu
looking for him for Gizzi's murder.
1675
01:25:18,530 --> 01:25:21,533
Operator, will you get me
the L.A. police department.
1676
01:25:22,534 --> 01:25:26,288
I want to talk to Lieutenant Pete Wright
of the Gangster Squad.
1677
01:25:38,759 --> 01:25:41,470
Guatemala, here we come. Nothing in the
papers about us. We're in the clear.
1678
01:25:42,095 --> 01:25:43,430
How are you darling? You still love me?
1679
01:25:43,722 --> 01:25:45,599
I'll love you more in Guatemala.
- That's my girl.
1680
01:25:45,891 --> 01:25:46,391
Come on, Chippie.
1681
01:25:46,683 --> 01:25:48,518
We got to go to Las Vegas
to get the check cashed.
1682
01:25:49,853 --> 01:25:51,521
That's kind of taking chances, ain't it?
1683
01:25:51,813 --> 01:25:53,482
Not as much as if you try
to collect it in some other town
1684
01:25:53,774 --> 01:25:54,775
and wait for the check to clear.
1685
01:25:55,067 --> 01:25:57,778
You get a cab out of here and go
straight to the bank in Las Vegas
1686
01:25:58,070 --> 01:25:59,404
- and keep the cab waiting, see?
- Sure.
1687
01:25:59,696 --> 01:26:00,697
All right, come on. Let's get going.
1688
01:26:01,156 --> 01:26:02,658
Come on, come on.
1689
01:26:09,331 --> 01:26:10,332
NOW!
1690
01:26:11,166 --> 01:26:12,125
Wait a minute!
1691
01:26:14,002 --> 01:26:15,671
A hundred thousand dollars.
1692
01:26:16,254 --> 01:26:18,173
Where's the rest of it, Evans?
1693
01:26:19,132 --> 01:26:20,342
I don't know.
1694
01:26:31,687 --> 01:26:32,729
Boulder Inn.
1695
01:26:33,647 --> 01:26:35,649
So that's where our little boyfriend is.
1696
01:26:36,108 --> 01:26:36,900
Isn't he?
1697
01:26:37,192 --> 01:26:39,653
Stop it! You know I can't stand that.
1698
01:26:40,612 --> 01:26:42,030
Besides, that's...
1699
01:26:42,322 --> 01:26:43,740
Peterson's department.
1700
01:26:44,032 --> 01:26:45,200
I told you I don't know anything.
1701
01:26:45,784 --> 01:26:47,619
He's at the inn all right.
1702
01:26:47,911 --> 01:26:48,704
Should we get him?
1703
01:26:49,287 --> 01:26:50,747
No, let him stay there until our
1704
01:26:51,039 --> 01:26:52,541
friends the police arrive.
1705
01:26:52,833 --> 01:26:54,167
What are you going to do to me?
1706
01:26:55,836 --> 01:26:58,880
Evans, I admire loyalty
but not to the wrong people.
1707
01:26:59,506 --> 01:27:01,425
You will go with Peterson, please.
1708
01:27:14,020 --> 01:27:16,481
You'd better get down to the airport.
You'll miss Lieutenant Wright.
1709
01:27:16,773 --> 01:27:18,400
You're the one who called him.
He'll be expecting you.
1710
01:27:18,817 --> 01:27:19,901
A policeman?
1711
01:27:20,485 --> 01:27:21,987
I wouldn't be bothered.
1712
01:27:22,863 --> 01:27:25,157
You take care of it.
I'll join you later.
1713
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:35,792
Hi, Pete.
1714
01:27:36,084 --> 01:27:38,044
What's that you called me?
- He meant Mr. Wright.
1715
01:27:38,336 --> 01:27:39,004
That's better.
1716
01:27:39,296 --> 01:27:39,838
Where's Stevens?
1717
01:27:40,130 --> 01:27:41,298
You know how these things upset him.
1718
01:27:41,590 --> 01:27:42,758
He doesn't like to
get involved in anything unpleasant.
1719
01:27:43,049 --> 01:27:45,427
Oh, sure. He wants to keep
his lily white hands clean.
1720
01:27:45,719 --> 01:27:46,595
Sheriff Steele.
1721
01:27:46,887 --> 01:27:48,430
Howdy, Sheriff.
Always glad to help an officer.
1722
01:27:48,722 --> 01:27:50,223
Why don't you stop marching?
1723
01:27:50,640 --> 01:27:51,767
And get this through your head.
1724
01:27:52,058 --> 01:27:54,603
The only reason I'm here cleaning up
your dirty laundry
1725
01:27:54,895 --> 01:27:56,229
is because we want Granger badly.
1726
01:27:56,521 --> 01:27:58,356
There's no reason for that attitude.
1727
01:27:58,648 --> 01:28:01,485
My attitude toward you
is one of complete disgust.
1728
01:28:01,777 --> 01:28:04,571
We're clean. Our wire service
is perfectly legitimate.
1729
01:28:04,863 --> 01:28:06,615
So are your banks and music businesses.
1730
01:28:06,907 --> 01:28:08,200
But what about all your sidelines?
1731
01:28:08,492 --> 01:28:09,409
You want me to go into them?
1732
01:28:09,701 --> 01:28:12,078
What's that got to do with Granger? You
came up here to get him, didn't you?
1733
01:28:12,370 --> 01:28:14,247
Sure. But someday,
we're going to get all of you.
1734
01:28:14,706 --> 01:28:16,958
When the public gets wise
to your stinking mess.
1735
01:28:17,250 --> 01:28:18,418
Now where's Granger?
1736
01:28:24,299 --> 01:28:25,425
Boulder Inn.
1737
01:28:25,717 --> 01:28:27,594
We can be there in about
35 minutes. I've got a car waiting.
1738
01:28:36,186 --> 01:28:37,771
Well, that settles Granger.
1739
01:28:38,355 --> 01:28:40,273
I think we handled things very well.
1740
01:28:40,690 --> 01:28:42,484
- My bags here?
- I had them checked.
1741
01:28:42,776 --> 01:28:43,777
Good.
1742
01:28:44,069 --> 01:28:46,488
Steve, I'm putting you
in charge out here.
1743
01:28:47,405 --> 01:28:51,368
I promised my children I'd go back East
on the farm with them for a while.
1744
01:28:52,285 --> 01:28:55,330
Anything important, I can be reached
through the usual source.
1745
01:29:06,299 --> 01:29:07,133
Mal?
1746
01:29:09,010 --> 01:29:10,679
Something's happened to Chippie.
1747
01:29:25,235 --> 01:29:27,195
I think we better go find him.
1748
01:29:33,660 --> 01:29:35,328
The inn's about 7 miles from here.
1749
01:29:35,620 --> 01:29:36,913
Not far from the dam.
1750
01:30:03,565 --> 01:30:05,191
That's Granger. Turn around.
1751
01:30:05,483 --> 01:30:06,776
It's Pete Wright.
1752
01:30:11,364 --> 01:30:12,908
He's turning around.
1753
01:30:15,994 --> 01:30:17,913
We better head for Boulder Dam.
1754
01:30:24,711 --> 01:30:26,546
Once we're across the dam,
we're in Arizona.
1755
01:30:26,838 --> 01:30:28,381
We'll never make it into Vegas now.
1756
01:30:34,012 --> 01:30:37,098
Sherriff's car number 1 calling
government rangers at Boulder Darn.
1757
01:30:37,390 --> 01:30:38,850
Green Cadillac convertible
1758
01:30:39,142 --> 01:30:41,227
California license number, 9 Young 8...
1759
01:30:41,519 --> 01:30:43,271
9 Young 8...
- 014.
1760
01:30:43,563 --> 01:30:45,732
014 headed toward dam.
1761
01:30:46,024 --> 01:30:48,693
This man wanted for murder.
Throw up roadblock. Over.
1762
01:31:19,265 --> 01:31:22,268
Kelly, Bates, you handle the other side.
Get him if he tries to come over.
1763
01:31:22,560 --> 01:31:24,437
Hey, what's the matter?
- What's the hold up?
1764
01:31:26,398 --> 01:31:28,316
Mal, it's too late.
They've blocked it off.
1765
01:31:34,739 --> 01:31:36,908
It's never too late, darling, come on.
1766
01:32:00,557 --> 01:32:05,645
The nexz' four of the dam
will leave in five minutes.
1767
01:32:29,794 --> 01:32:32,380
The next tour of the dam
1768
01:32:32,797 --> 01:32:35,383
will leave immediately.
1769
01:32:40,013 --> 01:32:42,223
No smoking on the elevator.
1770
01:32:49,981 --> 01:32:51,357
Wright, L.A. Police.
1771
01:32:51,649 --> 01:32:52,901
Granger's car is parked up there.
1772
01:32:53,193 --> 01:32:54,944
Did you see anyone
that fits his description?
1773
01:32:55,236 --> 01:32:56,279
No, I didn't see them.
1774
01:32:56,571 --> 01:32:58,531
The only way they could have
got through is in a crowd.
1775
01:32:58,823 --> 01:33:00,700
Want to come with us, Captain?
We'll check the other end.
1776
01:33:07,624 --> 01:33:11,586
We're now descending
in the elevator 528 feet.
1777
01:33:12,170 --> 01:33:17,717
One tenth of a mile, or equal to the
height of a 44 story office building.
1778
01:33:18,301 --> 01:33:20,220
As we step from the elevator,
1779
01:33:20,512 --> 01:33:24,557
We still have 199 feet of the dam
below us.
1780
01:33:29,229 --> 01:33:30,730
Kelly, have you seen Granger
and the girl?
1781
01:33:31,022 --> 01:33:32,190
Nope, no one's got through here.
1782
01:33:32,482 --> 01:33:34,359
They must have ducked into the dam.
- Let's check.
1783
01:33:37,529 --> 01:33:39,531
Right this way, please.
1784
01:33:39,823 --> 01:33:41,950
Follow me. Watch your step.
1785
01:33:51,084 --> 01:33:52,544
At this point,
1786
01:33:52,836 --> 01:33:55,630
we're now standing
in a portion of the dam
1787
01:33:55,922 --> 01:33:58,466
that's 457 feet thick.
1788
01:33:59,509 --> 01:34:01,386
It's 107 feet
1789
01:34:01,970 --> 01:34:04,931
upstream through solid concrete
1790
01:34:05,223 --> 01:34:06,850
to the water in Lake Mead.
1791
01:34:07,142 --> 01:34:10,687
We're going to walk downstream
through the thickness of the dam,
1792
01:34:11,104 --> 01:34:14,107
350 feet to the Nevada wing
of the power plant.
1793
01:34:14,399 --> 01:34:16,151
Watch your step, please.
1794
01:34:16,442 --> 01:34:17,443
Follow me.
1795
01:34:20,029 --> 01:34:21,614
How long ago did the last tour get out?
1796
01:34:21,906 --> 01:34:24,033
10 minutes ago. They should be
coming out right about now.
1797
01:34:24,325 --> 01:34:25,493
Let us use your binoculars.
1798
01:34:33,668 --> 01:34:37,505
You are now standing in the
Nevada wing of the power plant.
1799
01:34:38,089 --> 01:34:43,595
Ahead are seven hydroelectric generators
1800
01:34:43,887 --> 01:34:46,347
each one with a turbine capacity
1801
01:34:46,639 --> 01:34:49,350
of 115,000 horsepower.
1802
01:34:49,642 --> 01:34:53,354
Don't worry, we'll get out of here as
soon as we get over to the Arizona side.
1803
01:34:53,646 --> 01:34:56,357
Now, right this way, please.
1804
01:34:56,649 --> 01:34:58,526
Follow me.
1805
01:35:25,136 --> 01:35:30,225
Where we're now standing, folks, it's
560 feet up to the top of the dam,
1806
01:35:30,516 --> 01:35:34,354
The elevator shaft we came down
is right to the left
1807
01:35:34,646 --> 01:35:37,023
of the large awning you see
at the top of the dam.
1808
01:35:37,315 --> 01:35:39,525
Say, can I borrow your glasses, sir?
- Sure.
1809
01:35:45,114 --> 01:35:47,367
- Thank you, sir.
- You're welcome.
1810
01:35:47,825 --> 01:35:50,036
It's Pete Wright.
We better lose this crowd.
1811
01:35:52,705 --> 01:35:54,415
There he is, come on.
1812
01:36:01,130 --> 01:36:02,006
What do we do now?
1813
01:36:02,298 --> 01:36:04,509
If we can find the Arizona elevators
ahead of that crowd, we've got a chance.
1814
01:36:04,801 --> 01:36:05,718
Come on.
1815
01:36:38,376 --> 01:36:39,961
Come on. This way.
1816
01:36:56,060 --> 01:36:57,937
I can't go any further, Mal,
I just can't.
1817
01:36:58,229 --> 01:36:59,063
You've got to.
1818
01:36:59,355 --> 01:37:00,231
Come on.
1819
01:37:17,081 --> 01:37:18,374
Gail, listen to me.
1820
01:37:18,666 --> 01:37:19,751
You wait back there for me.
1821
01:37:20,043 --> 01:37:21,377
I'll shake them off
and come back for you.
1822
01:37:22,211 --> 01:37:23,296
Yes.
1823
01:38:08,341 --> 01:38:10,385
Take her up to my car.
We'll keep after him.
1824
01:39:32,258 --> 01:39:34,469
He must have taken
the Nevada inspection stairway.
1825
01:39:43,519 --> 01:39:45,605
We can take the elevator
and catch him at the top.
1826
01:40:41,702 --> 01:40:42,787
Granger, hold it!
1827
01:41:08,396 --> 01:41:09,480
Oh, Mal.
1828
01:41:12,733 --> 01:41:14,402
Give me two to win
on Honeycomb in the fifth.
1829
01:41:14,694 --> 01:41:16,946
Only an innocent two dollar bet,
you say?
1830
01:41:17,238 --> 01:41:20,241
It's just as innocent as the germs
in an epidemic.
1831
01:41:20,533 --> 01:41:22,493
Spreading the worst kind of disease.
1832
01:41:22,785 --> 01:41:26,205
The civic disease of criminals
with an $8 billion racket.
1833
01:41:26,747 --> 01:41:28,249
Corrupting politicians,
1834
01:41:28,541 --> 01:41:29,625
buying protection,
1835
01:41:30,209 --> 01:41:33,087
fostering crime,
all with your two dollars.
