Morning, Father. Use some help?

Oh, Harry, here?

Well, Harry's ship came in,
you might say.

His missis finally presented him
with a son.

Here.

- Join with Harry and be glad.
- Thank you.

- I'll take him home.
- Okay, take care, Father.

Come on, Harry.

You know, I guess I've seen him
at dawn, noon, night,

whatever shift I'm on.

The guy keeps going anyway.

Well, he'd say God.

I say maybe.

Well, he's some kind of hombre
in his own right.

You heard he used to ride
the mainline didn't you?

You're putting me on. Junk?

Yeah. The way I heard it,

he was in the Merchant Marines
when he was a kid down in Burma,

you know, where you can
get the stuff easy.

He got hooked. Almost cashed out.

I wonder how he kicked it.

Oh, he tossed it out in some rat hole

with a Catholic priest.

You wanna get him to tell you
the story sometime.

He's had a life and a half.

Hey, there's a java truck.

I wonder what it's doing here.

No business around this time
of morning.

Oh, there's us.

Man, I'm glad to see you.
Go with coffee.

I'm sorry fella, I'm just closing up.
I'm headed home.

Closing up?
You ought to be getting started.

I'm having trouble with my truck.
It's the water pump.

Hey, come on, you can do it for us,
can't you?

I've gotta fix the water pump.

Come on.

A little coffee, couple of sinkers.

Hey, where's all the food?
What's going o--?

You, on the stairs. Freeze.

Abel.

Morgan was right here beside him.
Hospital says he's still unconscious.

Get him up off there.

Tell the watch captain to notify his
wife before she hears it on the radio.

Okay, Mike.

Guy's just about cremated.

It's gonna take a while
to make an ID.

You know, Morgan's gun
was empty.

Wade never fired.

Well, I found these three.

Must have come from an automatic.

I don't think he'd take the time to stop
and reload a revolver.

- Gun's not here?
- Couldn't find it, no.

If these were here,
then somebody was shooting.

And it makes him more than
just a driver of a catering truck.

Was.

The inside had already been gutted.

Like someone was hauling
something else besides food.

Cargo rip-off?

Cargo hatch was open.

More than one man.

Could've been.

Morgan and Wade surprised them.

What set the truck off?

Gas tank took a hit.
Let me show you.

Looks like a horse.

- No, no. It's a... What do you call it?
- It's a unicorn.

Unicorn, that's it.

What do you know about unicorns,
buddy boy?

Unicorn.

Singular.

Not more than one.

Used it a lot in ancient myths.

- There's only one way to catch it.
- How's that?

Well, it lays its head in the lap
of a virgin.

Well, now you would know that.

Information like that's gonna get you
right to the top, buddy boy.

You know, it looks as though this was
bolted to something.

Morgan's regained consciousness.
Wants to talk to you, Mike.

Oh, thanks.

Run down the engine numbers
on that truck.

- Find out who it belongs to.
- Right.

Steve, check the docks. Find out
what that freighter was hauling.

- Right.
- Oh, and listen,

find out what companies
use a unicorn as a...

- Logo.
- Yeah.

Right.

I'm going to the hospital.

Wade reached in for a danish
and he saw something in there,

I don't know what.

And the other guy came off the ship
with a crate.

The whole thing blew apart after that.
Wade never stood a chance.

He got it point blank.

Don't hold me to the sequence,
but somewhere in there

I must have hit the gas tank
because the truck caught fire

and the guy with the gun
fell behind it.

What about this other fellow?
The guy with the crate?

I think I tagged him
about dead center.

You couldn't recognize
either one of them?

I know the truck though,
it's on the docks every day.

Only the two guys don't belong to it.

Who does?

Name's Logan I think.

Passes out coffee, makes change.
Been doing it for years.

Well, was there anybody else
around?

No, just Father Scarne.
He was taking some drunk on home.

He was long gone
before the balloon went up.

It's too bad about Wade.

Anybody see his wife yet?

Oh, yeah, we took care of that.

Came off the dead man.

- "J-O."
- Ties with Johnny Orton.

Night watchman on the cargo hold.

Instead of protecting the cargo,
he chopped Wade.

Stone.

Oh, yeah, let me have it.

Burt Logan. What's the address?

824.

I got it. Thanks a lot.

DMV got a make
on that catering truck.

- Go ahead. Anybody see anything?
- Nope.

Well, what about the ship?

Mostly bulk goods.
Tea, textile, tobacco.

Ports were Singapore
and Hong Kong.

- Now, the only thing--
- Wait a minute now.

It's a long way between Singapore
and Hong Kong.

What about the ports in between?

Ship's agent just mentioned those.

Well, you better have somebody
check that log.

I will. I will.

Anyhow, the only things missing,
according to the bills of lading,

are two cases of cobra venom.

- How's that?
- Poison from cobras, right.

Consignee, Jayson Chemicals, here
in town. I have Dr. Jayson outside.

So a guy with a catering truck hooks
up with a seaman off a freighter

to steal a couple of crates
of cobra venom, why?

They didn't know what
they were taking.

Wasn't a whole lot you could have
off that boat unless you had a crane.

Well, how did you make out with the
companies using the unicorn symbol?

Only one in the area.
Unicorn Enterprises.

They manufacture yo-yos.

Snake poison and yo-yos.
It's a great combination.

- I guess we better see Dr. Jayson.
- Right.

Dr. Jayson.

This is Lieutenant Stone.

- Sit down, doctor.
- How do you do?

Have you any idea how much
of my shipment was taken?

It seems only about two cases
of cobra venom.

- Are you sure it was the venom?
- Yes, why?

It's just that it's so difficult to
obtain.

There's no such thing
as a cooperative cobra.

What would anybody want with
a couple of crates of snake poison?

Research, lieutenant.

Cobra venom attacks
the motor nerves.

We're using it right now
in my company

in an experimental program
on muscle failure.

- Dystrophy. Spasms. Myotoma.
- Yeah, I see.

Well, what else does
your company do?

We do quite a bit
of importing from Southeast Asia.

Rare drugs. Gambage.
Cardamoms, lac, benzoin.

Is that for like perfume
and condiments?

- And cathartics, yes.
- Doctor,

the rest of your shipment
was intact.

What I don't understand is,
why would anyone walk off

with just a couple of crates
of cobra venom?

It's beyond me, gentlemen.

It has no other value
outside my field.

And my competitors
wouldn't have to steal it.

Well, do you know how much
it's worth on the open market?

There is no open market.

Just to make sure we're talking about
the same crates,

how were they packaged?

Two small mahogany boxes.

Were there any identifying marks?

Well, my supplier in Hong Kong
likes to think

that his snakes represent
a contradiction.

That their poison is a kind
of victory over disease.

Creatures of healing
instead of death.

That's it.

That was it. He used the old alchemist
symbol of health and resurrection.

What are you doing here?

- Looking for you.
- You alone?

I'm alone.

How did you get
that hole in your belly?

How did you know where to find me?

This is my backyard.

- Let me take a look at you--
- Hold it.

You take a slug?

That garbage I heard true?

About you being in Burma
working with the missionaries?

What about it?

Kind of a bush doctor, were you?

You need more than that.

Yeah? Well, you're all I got.

Here.

You gotta cut this thing out.

- You need a doctor.
- Sure. And all the cops in town.

Look, I don't know what you've done,
but it can't be that bad.

Two cops were shot with this gun.

You did that?

Same as. I was there.

No, it's not the same.
Not if you didn't pull the trigger.

It is to the law.

Not God's law.

I don't know nothing about
God's law, Scarne.

But I do know what cops do to guys
they think killed cops.

Give me the gun, Abel.

- I'll walk you out of here.
- Forget it.

This is a lousy place to die.

You should have thought about that
yourself.

Before you made the trip.

Get going.

- How badly was Abel hurt?
- We don't know, Mrs. Logan.

He's been building it, you know that.

All his life, your brother's been
asking for something like this.

When they find him,

the first thing, you'll help him,
won't you?

He could've come in with me.
I've always told you that, didn't I?

About that truck, how did your
brother-in-law happen to have it?

Water pump.

Been acting up lately

and Abel told me that he was
a hot mechanic,

let him have the truck for a couple
of hours and he'd fix it, he said.

- What time was that?
- Six, maybe.

- We were getting ready to eat supper.
- Do you know where your brother is?

No.

There's a lot of good in Abel.
Please believe that.

Mrs. Logan,

we're going to put out
an all points bulletin on your brother.

If you see him or hear from him,

tell him it would be better for him
if he turned himself in.

- Stuff in that box must be worth a lot.
- Gotta be.

What's in it?

Sells, Arizona.

I don't get it.

Place I heard of once.

Kid I worked with over on 34
came from there. Hated it.

Been landlocked all his life.

Loved the stinking ocean.
Can you beat it?

Said nothing would ever get him back
to good old Sells.

Sounded kind of like paradise
to me.

Inside.

Hot

and dry.

A handful of people.

Lots of space.

Yeah, dock orders got this baby

set to be towed
at 10 a.m. in the morning.

I'll be stowed away down here
when she makes San Diego.

Me and my meal ticket.

And then,

I hop a freight to Sells.

Use the bread to open myself
a little garage.

Big business in dirt bikes
in the desert. Buggies too.

Somebody's gotta be around
to fix them up when they break, right?

You don't know what's in it.

I know, it's worth 500 bucks to some
slick-suited dudes for me to cop it.

I'm gonna keep it, sell it myself.

It's gotta be worth 10,
20 times that much.

That's all I need.

Abel.

Don't worry.
This is one trip I'm gonna make.

- A good dream, Abel. Bad bet.
- Don't talk to me about dreams.

I know the dreams you dish out
to those losers over at your mission.

Nothing matters now.

It'll be better in heaven.
Well, I want it, and I'm gonna get it.

I'm talking about that gut shot.

Left side, below the ribs.

That tears up the liver,
spleen, pancreas.

Without a doctor,
you've got about eight or 10 hours

before you bleed to death.
Or peritonitis sets in.

I thought you knew
more than you let on.

You gonna use that knife?

No.

I can't help you
with a rusty jackknife.

- But I can help you with the police.
- Oh, sure.

Then you get a merit badge
for lifesaving.

A gold star from God, right?

I can tell them you're not a killer.

You had a chance to kill me
and you didn't.

And don't throw the Lord's name
at me.

You're one of his children
whether you like it or not.

Abel.

Eight, 10 hours you say?

No more.

You better go get what you need
and bring it back here.

- I'll be up in one of the cabins.
- You're asking the impossible.

A miracle?

That's what that collar's all about,
isn't it?

But you better
come back here alone.

Anybody shows their face
down here,

they get what's left in this clip.

Except the last one, that's for me.

Human life isn't ours to take.

Not even our own.

Then you and the Lord
got a problem.

- A lot of territory on the docks.
- Yeah.

- Here.
- Thanks.

You're wounded,

you can't go see your sister

because your brother-in-law
hates your guts,

you know the docks because
you've been here all your life.

It's like home to you.

Where do you go when you're hurt?

Far enough
so they can't hurt you anymore.

Maybe.

Let's try India Basin.

We've been there.
It was all locked up.

Well, let's check it again.

If you find a way in,
it's a good place to hide.

So's a boat to Shanghai.

That's out of our jurisdiction.

That's him.

This is mobile unit XK14847,
I wanna make a local call.

The number is 824-7996.

Hello. Yeah, I want a cab
for a Dr. Robert Jayson.

The Sutro Ruins.

Thank you.

Get in.

I tried to call Vegas this morning.

Nobody would talk with me.

You talked to the police.

I had to.

They called me down, I had to turn in
a report, verify what was missing.

- You said the shipment was..?
- Cobra venom.

Just like it said on the bill of
lading.

Look,

I have to know where I stand.

You stand in the same place
you did yesterday, doc.

You owe my people a shade
under a quarter of a mil.

Where we going?

What else do the police know?

Nothing. I didn't tell them anything.

What did they find out on the docks?

Just the one burned crate.

Now that's a pretty expensive fire.

Well, the other box has half.

It's still worth more than I owe you.

Yeah, but we don't have
the other box either.

That longshoreman has it.

Where?

Somewhere.

Where we going?

Now look,

I did my part.

I told you when the shipment
was coming in.

You hired that man
and the other man on the boat.

If they failed,
it's your responsibility not mine.

Doc,

how are you gonna get
that box back?

Get it back?

I can't get it back.

Well,

yes, well, maybe

if I stayed close to the police.

They saw your man run.

They thought he was wounded.

- Wounded?
- Yes.

- How badly?
- Well, I don't know.

They don't know.

He could be dead.

And that box
could be at the bottom of the bay.

No. No. They think he's
somewhere around the docks.

And if I stayed close to them,

I could know what they're doing
and where they're looking.

And then I could let you know.

Where are we?

You tell me, doc.

Can you guarantee
what you were just trying to sell?

About the police?

Well, yes. I'm sure that I can.
I'll stay close to them.

And I'll let you know everything
they're doing.

Goodbye, doctor.

Please, I can do it.

- I will.
- Get out.

Please.

Please.

One of you guys
Dr. Robert Jayson?

You know how to reach me, doctor.
We'll always know where to find you.

Do you have any further leads yet?

No. Not a one, doctor.

Are you sure you're giving all the men
you can to the job?

- Doctor--
- Our research is at a critical point--

Doctor.

Doctor.

A first-rate young cop,
Frank Wade, was killed.

And we are going to find the guy
who did it.

You know what's still bothering us
more than anything else, doctor?

How anyone went directly to those two
crates out of all the cargo on that ship.

You have any reason for that?

No. Not yet.

I've heard that there's a lot of pilferage
on the docks these days.

Doctor,

did anybody else know about
that shipment, besides you?

Well, my supplier,
the bonding company,

shipping agents, secretaries,
dozens of people.

Could you give us a list
of those names?

- Certainly.
- Thank you.

Father, come in.

- You got a minute, Mike?
- Always.

Dr. Jayson, Father Scarne.

- Doctor.
- How do you do?

Steve, why don't you get that list
from the doctor?

Right.

- Steve, sorry to barge in.
- No problem.

Close the door.

I'm glad you came, Joe.

I was gonna look you up.

- You hear about Morgan and Wade?
- Yeah.

Morgan tells me that you were
on the docks just before they got hit.

I didn't see it happen, Mike.

If that's what you're driving at.

It is. And I got my answer.
Come on, pull up a chair.

- What can I do for you?
- I can't stay.

I've been all over town. I saw
every doctor I have any drive with.

Mike,

I need some help.

I'm listening.

I need medical supplies.

I thought you gave up practicing
when you walked out of the jungles.

Please, Mike.

One of my boys is in trouble.

- You're talking about Abel Hoffman.
- Yeah.

He's hurt bad, Mike.

He needs more than I can give him.

But I can't get him out
and he won't let a doctor in.

I'm just asking for a chance
to save his life.

- Where is he?
- Well, no, Mike.

- You know better than that.
- Does he still have the gun?

- He does.
- And he came to you and confessed.

- He did.
- But you couldn't give him absolution.

Not without him giving you that gun.

You're right, I couldn't. And I didn't.

Look, we're both pros, Mike.

We both go to the book
for all our answers.

Only there's a difference
in the books.

That man put his trust in me.

I'll tell you what else he did.

He put one cop in the hospital
and another in the morgue.

- Oh, no, no, Mike, not him--
- Joe--

He didn't kill anybody.
And he won't if you go along with me.

Listen to me, will you?

- Let me handle this. I'm a cop.
- And I'm a priest.

My way, nobody has to get hurt.
Your way, Abel Hoffman has to kill.

If not one of your men, himself.

He say that?

He said he'd save one bullet.
I believe him.

And I don't want that
on my conscience, do you?

- Not if I can help it.
- You can help, Mike.

Get me these medical supplies.

Then what?

Well, it's up to me
to get through to him.

But he has to be alive
for me to do that.

I can't swing a deal like that, Joe.
Not without authorization.

Well, you can get to the man
who can.

Steve, follow him.

- What's going on?
- He found Hoffman.

Nobody moves in, not even you.

- I just wanna know where he is.
- Right. Goodbye, doctor.

Hoffman, is that the longshoreman
you were looking for?

- Doctor, did you finish the list?
- I'm afraid it's not quite complete.

But maybe if I went back to my office
and checked my records.

Fine. Phone it in
when you've got it completed.

Right away.

In about 10 seconds,
he'll be coming down that dock.

- I don't want him to follow me, Harry.
- He won't, Father.

Yes.

This is Dr. Jayson.

I've got what you need.

"Vung T�u."

"Vung T�u."

Mike.

What are you doing here?

Well, you know that old expression,
"They take care of their own"?

You lost him.

He had a little help from his friends,
believe me.

Okay, where was the last place
you saw him?

- Pier 31.
- The busiest pier on the docks.

I know. I know.

Well, he must have known
somebody was following him.

- Want some coffee?
- No, I don't want any coffee.

Well, he set you up, buddy boy.

He must have doubled back
somewhere else.

Looks that way, yep.
What do you wanna do now?

We keep the faith
until he comes here for his supplies.

Here, take a look.

The log from that freighter.

Ports of call between Hong Kong
and Bangkok.

- These are heroin ports.
- How did you know?

This area here, Burma,
Thailand, Laos.

They call it the Golden Triangle.

Seventy percent of the world's opium
right there.

Bring the raw stuff down
to Saigon, Bangkok,

some of these other ports,
process some into morphine,

ship some to Marseilles

and the rest goes to Hong Kong
for shipment to the U.S.

Then you must know
what was in those crates.

Well, it sure ain't cobra venom.

What have you got, Ben?

Your hunch is right, Mike.
These ashes prove it.

Heroin. High grade.

Come on.

Let's get a book on Jayson.

Hello, this is Father Scarne.

I'm just checking again on my calls.

Did a Mike Stone phone in?

Sure, I see.

Nothing at all about
medical supplies.

No. Thank you.

I can't be reached for a while.

Father. Father.
There's been an accident.

Someone's hurt real bad.
They wanna see you right away.

- Where?
- Over at the loading shed.

I think he's dying.

This is the right place, Father.

You're just a little bit early.
The accident hasn't happened yet.

Gentlemen, I don't have the vaguest
idea of what you're talking about.

You were framed, right?

- Yes.
- Wrong.

We've got the book on you,
Dr. Jayson.

Your life is a mess.

How long you been in trouble
in Vegas, doctor?

- What?
- He said Vegas.

That's where the Scirocco hotel is
and that's why you're in trouble.

Three months ago you endorsed
a $50,000 policy to the Scirocco hotel.

- I Don't know what you mean.
- You Don't know what we mean?

Well, we do.

All right, book him. Murder.

- Let narco make out the rest.
- No, wait.

I didn't kill anyone.

I didn't know anyone
was to be killed.

- Who did it?
- I don't even know their names.

Or what the arrangements were.

Just steal it from my consignment
when the freighter got into port.

How much was in the two boxes?

Maybe a half a million dollars' worth.

You owe them that much?

A little over 200,000.

It was crazy.

I'm not a serious gambler. But
that night, I kept losing at the tables.

And I couldn't quit
and I couldn't cover it.

They did research, found your
company imports Asian chemicals,

and made you an offer
you couldn't refuse.

It was either that
or losing my company.

Your passport shows you spent some
time in Bangkok about six weeks ago.

Was that on a buying trip?

That's right.
They arranged all of it.

When's the last time
you talked to them?

Just a little while ago.
Right after I left you.

Well, what did you tell them?

Your profile said
that you're a Catholic.

You told them about Father Scarne,
didn't you?

How he happened to find Hoffman.

I had to. They threatened my life.

What about his life?

I didn't think.

Well, you better think now.

You may have just set up a priest.

That's enough.

One last chance, Father.
Where is he?

I can't tell you that.

That's too bad, Father.

Go on, get out of here.
Before I change my mind again.

What's the percentage in that?

A dead priest ain't no good
to nobody.

But a priest that's on a crusade,
that's a valuable man.

That's a man
who should be watched.

Clint, my friend.

How did you make out?

We started digging as soon
as I got your call, lieutenant,

but so far, I haven't come up
with very much for you.

Narrowed down the possibilities
some, maybe, but that's about it.

I can show you here on the map,
it covers the entire waterfront.

Now these crosses
are the places we've cleared up.

And the circles are all possibles.

It's a good place for a man
to lose himself.

- Okay, how about this area here?
- Those are salvage docks.

Salvage docks?

That's where they tie up those old
rust buckets, isn't it?

It would be a pretty good place
for a guy to hide.

Yeah, it would if there's anything
in salvage.

- Sure.
- Excuse me, sir.

I think there might be.

They brought in an old junker
late Friday.

Stripped it out and gonna haul it out
in the morning, I think.

Where did you say
Scarne gave you the slip?

Pier 31. Right here.

Thirty-one.
It's halfway down the Embarcadero.

That's just about the way
he'd do it too.

Say, if I were you,
I'd double-check that salvage dock.

Right away.

Yes, Port Commission,
what do you got down there on 36?

The Santa Alisio.

Being towed down to San Diego.

All right. Thanks.

Well, he says that they--

Padre, did you get
the stuff you need?

- Not yet.
- What do you mean, not yet?

What happened to you?

Abel, you've gotta get out of here.

Somebody worked you over,
didn't they?

Now, Abel, they're looking for you.

- Who?
- The men who hired you.

They did that to you? A turn collar?

That's pretty heavy.

They want what's in this box
pretty bad.

Maybe it's worth more
than I thought it was.

It is.

You know what it is?

There's only one thing it could be,

they'd go after this way.

A boat from Asia. A box that size.

Junk.

You mean I broke up a connection.

Oh, baby.

I better look, see what's inside here.

If it's the white stuff,
it's worth a gold mine.

It's hell, Abel.

Pure hell to anybody
who has anything to do with it.

Leave it here. Let them have it.
Let me get you out of here.

No way, Padre.
That bad bet you were talking about,

looks pretty good now, doesn't it?

Abel, listen to me.

We're leaving here.

We can go to the church
and wait for the supplies I ordered.

Or go straight to the hospital.
Whichever you want.

But I'm not gonna let you
just throw your life away.

You mean that, don't you?

You really care.

You took that beating
and you came back here anyway.

Let's go.

You're out of your skull, Padre,
you know that?

You're really out of your skull.

Leave the crate here.

If I do that, I'm as crazy as you are.
Crazier.

At least I know
why I'm doing this now.

It's not just hoping
it's one thing or another.

Put that gun away.

I do and they'll put us away.

Give me the box.

Why?

If I let them see me with it,
you can get away.

You would do that, wouldn't you?

Give it to me.

Sure.

What do you say, boys?

If I go, it goes.

Hoffman, we got a deal.

Yeah,

I take the chances
and you get the money.

- Okay, new deal.
- Like what?

You give us the stuff,
we'll get you out of the country.

Sure. On a slab.

Hey, this place is lousy with cops.
You wanna get out of here alive?

You forget, I got the insurance.
I got--

- Mike.
- Hold it.

Maybe you were right, Mike.

Maybe we should have played it
your way.

Joe.

Who knows which way is right?

Look at him.

One heck of a guy.

That's not what you were saying
about him yesterday.

Well, that was yesterday.
But look at him today.

Out there like always.

Pounding the pavement
like a good cop.

Give him a blast.

Oh, one heck of a guy.

You know, someone who's spent all
his time traveling around the world,

spent as much time in places
as he did.

Really must be difficult
to settle down in one spot.

Why is that?

I don't know.

Maybe it's because
I've never done it.

But I see those big steamers
out there, you know?

And I just start thinking about
places like Tahiti, Fiji, Bora Bora.

Don't you ever do that?

- No. Not anymore.
- But you used to, huh?

Yeah, I used to a long time ago.
But no more.

- Hear that?
- Yeah.

They don't have that sound
in Bora Bora.
