who pulled the stickup last night?
Copy !req
39. I don't know.
Copy !req
40. - What do you mean, you don't know?
- He had a hat on.
Copy !req
41. Put on your hats.
Copy !req
42. Well?
Copy !req
43. He was tall, you say. He had on
a brown suit and a wide-brim hat.
Copy !req
44. All right, don't you see him?
Copy !req
45. Well, come on! Is that him?
Copy !req
46. No, it isn't him.
Copy !req

Copy !req
55. We know the guy who's been pulling
most of the stickups, Commissioner.
Copy !req
56. Name's Dix Handley.
Copy !req
57. He was in the show-up this morning,
Copy !req
58. but our witness
got cold feet and backed down.
Copy !req
59. - What can you do?
- Lock up the witness! Scare him worse!
Copy !req
60. It's your job knowing what to do.
Copy !req
61. As things are, the only merchants
safe from harm in your precinct
Copy !req
62. are those who take wages on the horses.
Copy !req
63. I want to know why those parlors
are still operating.
Copy !req
64. I close them down,
but they only open up again.
Copy !req
65. You don't close 'em hard enough! Rip out
the phones! Smash up the furniture!
Copy !req
66. People like to bet the horses, sir,
and just because the law says no -
Copy !req
67. I don't want your opinion of the law.
Copy !req
68. - Is that all, sir?
- No, that's not all.
Copy !req
69. Where is Erwin Riedenschneider?
Copy !req
70. - I'm waiting to hear on that, sir.
- You don't know where he is?
Copy !req
71. No, sir, but we ought to
get word from our stoolies.
Copy !req
72. It was all dumped in your lap.
Copy !req
73. He left state prison yesterday at 12 noon,
took a train for this city.
Copy !req
74. Time of arrival, 3:17.
Copy !req
75. All you had to do was spot him,
stay with him for 24 hours.
Copy !req
76. If he didn't register, lock him up.
Copy !req
77. But what happens? He loses you
five blocks from the depot.
Copy !req
78. And one of the most dangerous criminals
alive is now at large in this city.
Copy !req
79. The two men on that detail
ought to get medals for dumbness.
Copy !req
80. They were assigned by you.
You oughta get one too.
Copy !req
81. Ditrich, I can do three things about you.
Copy !req
82. I can reduce you to patrolman
and send you down to Five Corners,
Copy !req
83. I can bring you up for departmental trial
on charges of incompetence,
Copy !req
84. or I can give you one more chance
to make good on your responsibilities.
Copy !req
85. I think that'll be
the greatest punishment of all.
Copy !req
86. Thank you, sir.
Copy !req
87. There's the number you're looking for.
Copy !req
88. But it's dark. You want me to wait?
Copy !req
89. I wouldn't go parading around
this neighborhood with a suitcase.
Copy !req
90. Some of these young punks might clip ya
just to get a clean shirt.
Copy !req
91. - Yeah?
- I want to see Cobby.
Copy !req
92. Who are you?
Copy !req
93. Just say Doc is here
and would like to see him.
Copy !req
94. Wait here.
You'd better be on the legit, pal.
Copy !req
95. What do you got?
Copy !req
96. MAN #2: Three threes.
Copy !req
97. Well, where the devil is he?
Copy !req
98. All right, make it fast.
I'm a busy man. What do you want?
Copy !req
99. - I just got out today.
- Oh, so that's it.
Copy !req
100. I'm tired of you guys that fell
putting the bite on me.
Copy !req
101. I'm no First National Bank.
Copy !req
102. - I got a proposition for you.
- All you guys have.
Copy !req
103. - Maybe you didn't get who I was.
- I never seen you before.
Copy !req
104. - Come on, come on. What is it?
- Maybe you've heard of me.
Copy !req
105. The Professor? Or Herr Doktor, maybe.
Copy !req
106. You mean, you are Riedenschneider?
Copy !req
107. Well, why didn't you say so?
Copy !req
108. Come on in, Doc. Come on in.
Copy !req
109. Sit down, Doc. Sit down.
Copy !req
110. - Have a drink?
- Nothing to drink.
Copy !req
111. I got out of the habit behind the walls.
Copy !req
112. - That's all it is - a habit.
- Well, here's to the drink habit.
Copy !req
113. It's the only one I got
that don't get me into trouble.
Copy !req
114. Well, Doc, what's on your mind?
Copy !req
115. I got a proposition. A big one.
Copy !req
116. - How big is big?
- Too big for you, Cobby.
Copy !req
117. Now, wait, Doc. I don't like to brag,
but I'm doing all right.
Copy !req
118. Makin' book. I'm in the chips.
Copy !req
119. - What kind of proposition is it?
- A plan for a caper.
Copy !req
120. And it's a good one.
Copy !req
121. I could sell it for $100,000
on the open market,
Copy !req
122. but that would be throwing money away.
Copy !req
123. I prefer to execute it myself and make -
Copy !req
124. - How much?
- Half a million dollars.
Copy !req
125. Maybe even more.
Copy !req
126. Of course I will have to do a little checking,
as the plan is some years old.
Copy !req
127. But not much checking. Not much.
Copy !req
128. I need roughly 50,000 to operate.
Copy !req
129. Fifty thousand?
Copy !req
130. No, no, no, I don't see.
Copy !req
131. Of course. I thought maybe Mr. Emmerich.
Copy !req
132. What do you know about Mr. Emmerich?
Copy !req
133. Only what I heard in the walls -
Copy !req
134. that he has money to invest and that
the way to get to him is through you.
Copy !req
135. Of course, if my information
is not correct...
Copy !req
136. Correct. Sure.
Copy !req
137. Sure, it's correct.
Copy !req
138. It's just that I never
thought of Mr. Emmerich
Copy !req
139. in connection with this kind of a deal.
Copy !req
140. Excuse me a minute. I'll be right back.
Copy !req
141. Hello?
Copy !req
142. Thanks. See ya later.
Copy !req
143. Hello, Dix. What do you want?
Copy !req
144. - I wanna make a bet.
- Well?
Copy !req
145. - Your man says you got to okay it.
- What are you in for?
Copy !req
146. 2,300 and some.
Copy !req
147. Okay. Your tab's good for 2,500.
Copy !req
148. But that's the limit. Either pick a winner
or pay me when you get that far.
Copy !req
149. Don't bone me!
Copy !req
150. - Now, look, I'm not boning -
- Did I ever welsh?
Copy !req
151. - Nobody said you did.
- You just boned me.
Copy !req
152. - Look, Dix -
- I'm not asking you any favors.
Copy !req
153. I'll go get you your 2,300 right now.
Copy !req
154. Now, Dix. Now, Dix, listen.
Will you have a drink? Come on.
Copy !req
155. Dix, come back here. Have a drink.
Copy !req
156. Can you beat that?
Copy !req
157. - Where does he come off blowing a fuse?
- Who is he?
Copy !req
158. A small-time hooligan
who's crazy for horses.
Copy !req
159. My book beats him and beats him,
he keeps coming back for more.
Copy !req
160. Say, Doc.
Copy !req
161. I forgot on account of that big tramp.
Copy !req
162. I spoke to Mr. Emmerich on the phone.
He's gonna meet us later on tonight.
Copy !req
163. He's giving a dinner party at his house
in town for a bunch of swells,
Copy !req
164. but he'll be at another address later on.
Copy !req
165. A man like Emmerich has got
more than one place to hang his hat.
Copy !req
166. Smart cat. Never does a lick of work,
stays out all night, sleeps all day.
Copy !req
167. What's a big, dirty cat
doing at an eating joint?
Copy !req
168. I run over one every time I get a chance.
Copy !req
169. People feeding cats,
and some kids haven't got enough to eat.
Copy !req
170. You gonna buy that magazine?
Copy !req
171. Why should I?
I seen all the dames in it already.
Copy !req
172. Wanna make something of it?
Copy !req
173. You're a little off your beat,
ain't you, buster?
Copy !req
174. - How do you mean, Humpty Dumpty?
- I mean, you don't belong around here.
Copy !req
175. You're just passing through.
Copy !req
176. Only not fast enough.
Copy !req
177. If I ever see you running over a cat,
I'll kick your teeth out.
Copy !req
178. I'd take you apart if you were about
a foot taller and straightened up a little.
Copy !req
179. Suppose you want your heater back.
Copy !req
180. Well, you ain't gonna get it.
What do you think of that?
Copy !req
181. - Quit kidding, Gus.
- I mean it.
Copy !req
182. Go on, get sore. Smack me down.
Copy !req
183. You know I wouldn't do that.
Copy !req
184. Look, Dix, take my advice
and knock off for a while.
Copy !req
185. The happiness boys are on a rampage.
Headquarters has given them the push.
Copy !req
186. - I can't afford to knock off.
- Oh, stop worrying. I'll stake you.
Copy !req
187. - Yeah? I need 2,300.
- What?
Copy !req
188. - Something I just gotta take care of.
- Cobby, maybe?
Copy !req
189. Well, let him sweat. It'll do him good.
Cobby can spare a few pounds.
Copy !req
190. You can't owe money to a guy like him,
Copy !req
191. a little loudmouth who bones you
when he isn't even trying to.
Copy !req
192. I don't get you, Dix.
Copy !req
193. I just can't be in Cobby's debt
and keep my self-respect.
Copy !req
194. Oh.
Copy !req
195. All right.
Copy !req
196. I got a grand put away. You can have that.
Copy !req
197. Maybe I can dig up 1,300 more.
Copy !req
198. - I guess it's all right to owe me, huh?
- I guess.
Copy !req
199. Yeah. It's just my luck.
Copy !req
200. Well, I'll get it tomorrow or bust a gut.
Copy !req
201. In the meantime, stay away from
the boulevard, especially at night.
Copy !req
202. By the way, they knocked over
that clip joint, the Club Regal.
Copy !req
203. - Wasn't that where Doll worked?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
204. - It's coming in bunches, it looks like.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
205. Go home, Dix. Stay home.
Copy !req
206. Yeah.
Copy !req
207. Don't get your flag at half-mast.
Remember, you still got old Gus.
Copy !req
208. Thirteen hundred? You must be crazy.
Copy !req
209. For Dix? What do I care for that hooligan?
Copy !req
210. I'd like to help you out, Gus,
Copy !req
211. but I got mouths to feed
and rent to pay and all that stuff.
Copy !req
212. GUS". You great big, fat Italian -
Why don't you wise up, you wise guy?
Copy !req
213. - You're a low-down scum.
- Shh!
Copy !req
214. A low-down, dirty scum
to talk to me like that.
Copy !req
215. Look, Gus.
Copy !req
216. I guess I can make it, all right.
Copy !req
217. - Yeah'?
- Dix, it's me, Doll.
Copy !req
218. Doll?
Copy !req
219. Hi, honey.
Copy !req
220. Come on in.
Copy !req
221. - Close the door.
- Well, sure, Dix. Sure.
Copy !req
222. I'm awful sorry to bother you, honey, but...
Copy !req
223. Doll, if you're gonna smoke,
you gotta learn to carry matches.
Copy !req
224. Doll, what are you crying about?
Copy !req
225. N-Nothin', Dix. Nothing.
Copy !req
226. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
227. I'm sorry, Dix.
Copy !req
228. I don't know what I was thinking about,
bothering you at this time of the night.
Copy !req
229. I'll just run along.
Copy !req
230. Gus told me the Club Regal
got knocked over.
Copy !req
231. Yeah. Can you imagine, raiding the Regal?
The cops must have all gone crazy.
Copy !req
232. So it's a clip joint. So what?
Copy !req
233. And it would have to happen on pay night.
Copy !req
234. - How about a drink?
- Hey, I don't care if I do.
Copy !req
235. One of my eyelashes is coming off.
Copy !req
236. Were you, uh, locked out of your room?
Copy !req
237. How'd you guess?
Copy !req
238. Well... here's how.
Copy !req
239. Uh, Dix, if it wouldn't be too much trouble,
could I stay here a couple of days?
Copy !req
240. Just a day or two.
Copy !req
241. All right. Stay if you want to.
But don't you go getting any ideas, Doll.
Copy !req
242. Everything is here,
from the observed routine of the personnel
Copy !req
243. to the alarm system,
the type of locks on doors,
Copy !req
244. the age and condition of the main safe
and so forth and so forth.
Copy !req
245. Take my word for it, Mr. Emmerich.
This is a ripe plum ready to fall.
Copy !req
246. My friend, according to the boys,
all takes are easy.
Copy !req
247. But as a lawyer, I've made a lot of money
getting them out of jail.
Copy !req
248. Please, Mr. Emmerich.
Perhaps you know my reputation.
Copy !req
249. I've engineered some very big things.
Copy !req
250. That's a fact, Mr. Emmerich.
Doc here is tops.
Copy !req
251. Am I to understand you gathered this
information before doing your last stretch?
Copy !req
252. - That is correct.
- I was ready to begin operations,
Copy !req
253. and the coppers grabbed me for
an old caper I'd almost forgotten about.
Copy !req
254. The Adelphia Finance caper.
Copy !req
255. You took 'em for 160,000, didn't you, Doc?
Copy !req
256. A hundred and fifty-eight.
Copy !req
257. And you really believe
there's a million in this thing?
Copy !req
258. Maybe even more.
Copy !req
259. You mean by that that the take will be
worth half a million to us in actual cash?
Copy !req
260. Because you know as well as I do
Copy !req
261. that in no case will a fence
give you more than 50 percent.
Copy !req
262. That's right, sir.
Copy !req
263. - Well, what are your main problems?
- There are three.
Copy !req
264. Money to operate, personnel,
Copy !req
265. and finally, the disposing of the take.
Copy !req
266. No trouble about the first,
eh, Mr. Emmerich?
Copy !req
267. Wait a minute, Cobby.
This remains to be seen.
Copy !req
268. The helpers will be paid off
like house painters.
Copy !req
269. They'll be told nothing
about the size of the take.
Copy !req
270. Sometimes men get greedy.
Copy !req
271. - Well, how many helpers do you need?
- Only three.
Copy !req
272. A box man.
Copy !req
273. Him, we pay most. Maybe $25,000.
Copy !req
274. I got a guy for you. Louis Ciavelli.
Best box man west of Chicago.
Copy !req
275. Expert mechanic.
Been in some very big capers.
Copy !req
276. From what I hear, he can open a safe
like the back of a watch. Only, he costs.
Copy !req
277. Then we need a top-notch driver,
in case of a rumble.
Copy !req
278. - He should get 10,000.
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
279. Finally, sad to say, we need a hooligan.
Most of these fellas are drug addicts.
Copy !req
280. They're a no-good lot,
or they wouldn't be hooligans.
Copy !req
281. Violence is all they know,
but they are, unfortunately, necessary.
Copy !req
282. For a more or less reliable man,
I'd say 15,000.
Copy !req
283. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
284. Well, that's 50,000 in all.
Copy !req
285. How, uh -
Copy !req
286. How's this take to be handled?
Copy !req
287. We'll get in touch with
the best fences in the Midwest
Copy !req
288. and deal with whoever makes
the highest offer.
Copy !req
289. Maybe no one fence
can handle the whole thing.
Copy !req
290. In that case, we deal with two or three.
Copy !req
291. Half a million, eh?
Copy !req
292. I, uh...
Copy !req
293. I'm, uh... I'm just thinking.
Copy !req
294. If I decide to go into this thing, I, uh...
Copy !req
295. I, myself, I might handle the...
Copy !req
296. You, a fence, Mr. Emmerich?
Copy !req
297. Oh, no, no, Cobby. Not exactly.
Copy !req
298. But your proposition looks pretty good.
I'd like to see the most made of it.
Copy !req
299. Oh, I suppose a fella
should stick to his own trade,
Copy !req
300. but, uh, I know
some pretty big men around here
Copy !req
301. that might not be averse to a deal like this,
if they're properly approached.
Copy !req
302. Highly respectable men, I might add.
Copy !req
303. So why don't you let me see what I can do
before you look for a fence, hmm?
Copy !req
304. A few days, more or less, wouldn't make
much difference to you, I don't suppose.
Copy !req
305. - Might mean a lot more money for all of us.
- Good. There's just one thing.
Copy !req
306. I dislike to mention it,
but I've just come from prison and...
Copy !req
307. Oh. Well, of course.
Copy !req
308. Cobby will advance you anything you
need, see that you have a place to stay.
Copy !req
309. - Eh, Cobby?
- Well, you bet your life.
Copy !req
310. And I got some fancy phone numbers
for you too, Doc.
Copy !req
311. What's it like, a man of your taste,
seven years behind the walls?
Copy !req
312. Not too bad.
Copy !req
313. It's a matter of temperament.
Copy !req
314. I cause no trouble.
The prison authorities appreciate that.
Copy !req
315. They made me assistant librarian.
Copy !req
316. I'm afraid I wouldn't make
a model prisoner.
Copy !req
317. After this job, it's Mexico for me.
Copy !req
318. I'll live like a king.
Copy !req
319. Mexican girls are very pretty.
Copy !req
320. I'll have nothing to do all day long
but chase them in the sunshine.
Copy !req
321. - You've been very kind, sir.
- Good night. Good night.
Copy !req
322. - Mr. Emmerich.
- Cobby.
Copy !req
323. What's the big idea, standing there
staring at me, Uncle Lon?
Copy !req
324. Don't call me "Uncle Lon."
Copy !req
325. I thought you liked it.
Copy !req
326. Maybe I did.
Copy !req
327. I don't anymore.
Copy !req
328. I had the market send over
some salt mackerel for you.
Copy !req
329. I know how you love it for breakfast.
Copy !req
330. Some sweet kid.
Copy !req
331. It's late.
Copy !req
332. Why don't you go to bed?
Copy !req
333. Some sweet kid.
Copy !req
334. Hello, Bob Brannom?
Copy !req
335. This is Emmerich.
Copy !req
336. No, no. I didn't call you
to get the right time.
Copy !req
337. Listen, I've got a job for you.
Copy !req
338. No, no. Nothing like that.
Copy !req
339. I've got over $100,000
standing out on my books.
Copy !req
340. Come to my office tomorrow morning,
I'll give you a list of people that owe me.
Copy !req
341. No,no,no, no.
Copy !req
342. Use the method called for
in each particular case.
Copy !req
343. And don't tell me anything about it.
All I want is results.
Copy !req
344. So what?
Copy !req
345. Easy, boy. Easy.
Copy !req
346. Hello.
Copy !req
347. Who?
Copy !req
348. Oh, sure, Gus.
Copy !req
349. He's still asleep.
Copy !req
350. What?
Copy !req
351. Yeah. Yeah, I'll tell him.
Copy !req
352. Honey. Honey, that was Gus.
Copy !req
353. He says you can come over anytime.
He's got something for you.
Copy !req
354. Okay.
Copy !req
355. Coffee, honey? I made it fresh.
Copy !req
356. Yeah. Yeah.
Copy !req
357. Hey, you sure were dreaming.
Copy !req
358. How do you know?
Copy !req
359. You were talking in your sleep.
Copy !req
360. - What was I saying?
- It was all jumbled up.
Copy !req
361. But I heard one word real plain.
You called it out several times.
Copy !req
362. "Corn cracker."
Copy !req
363. What's that mean?
Copy !req
364. Corn Cracker?
Copy !req
365. Corn Cracker was a colt.
Copy !req
366. Yeah, it would be.
Copy !req
367. Yeah. He was a tall, black colt.
Copy !req
368. Yeah, I remember what I was dreaming.
Copy !req
369. I was up on that colt's back.
Copy !req
370. My father and my grandfather
were there, watching the fun.
Copy !req
371. That colt was buck-jumping and pitching.
Copy !req
372. Once he tried to scrape me off against
the fence, but I stayed with him, you bet.
Copy !req
373. Then I heard my granddaddy say,
Copy !req
374. "He's a real Handley, that boy.
A real Handley."
Copy !req
375. And I felt proud as you please.
Copy !req
376. Did that really happen, Dix,
when you were a kid?
Copy !req
377. Not exactly. The black colt pitched me
into a fence on the first buck.
Copy !req
378. My old man come over,
prodded me with his boot and said,
Copy !req
379. "Maybe that'll teach you not to brag
about how good you are on a horse."
Copy !req
380. It's nice to hear you laugh.
Copy !req
381. You know something?
Copy !req
382. One of my ancestors imported
the first Irish thoroughbred into our county.
Copy !req
383. - Is that a fact?
- Sure.
Copy !req
384. Why, our farm was in the family
for generations.
Copy !req
385. One hundred sixty acres.
Copy !req
386. Thirty in bluegrass and the rest in crops.
Copy !req
387. Fine barn and seven brood mares.
Copy !req
388. - Sounds wonderful, Dix.
- It was.
Copy !req
389. And then everything happened at once.
Copy !req
390. My old man died,
and we lost our corn crop.
Copy !req
391. That black colt I was telling you about,
he broke his leg and had to be shot.
Copy !req
392. That was a rotten year.
Copy !req
393. I'll never forget the day we left.
Copy !req
394. Me and my brother swore we'd buy
Hickorywood Farm back someday.
Copy !req
395. Growing up in a place and then
having to leave must be awful.
Copy !req
396. I never had a proper home.
Copy !req
397. Twelve grand would have swung it,
and I almost made it once.
Copy !req
398. I had more than $5,000 in my pocket
Copy !req
399. and Pampoon was running
in the Suburban.
Copy !req
400. I figured he couldn't lose.
I put it all on his nose.
Copy !req
401. He lost by a nose.
Copy !req
402. Drink your coffee, honey,
before it gets cold.
Copy !req
403. The way I figure,
my luck's just gotta turn.
Copy !req
404. One of these days, I'll make a real killing.
Then I'm gonna head for home.
Copy !req
405. First thing when I get there, I take a bath
in the creek and get this city dirt off me.
Copy !req
406. - What's the matter?
- Nothing, Dix. Nothing. Nothing.
Copy !req
407. - I say something wrong?
- No.
Copy !req
408. But, gee, this place is a mess.
It needs a good cleaning.
Copy !req
409. How can you stand to live like this?
Copy !req
410. Count it.
Copy !req
411. Count it.
Copy !req
412. You don't have to pay
the whole tab at once.
Copy !req
413. Go ahead and count it.
Copy !req
414. Why get sore?
There's no reason to get sore.
Copy !req
415. You boned me in front of a stranger,
trying to make me look small.
Copy !req
416. I didn't mean it. I shoot my mouth off.
Maybe I had a slight load on.
Copy !req
417. - You know how it is.
- No. No, I don't know how it is.
Copy !req
418. Look, Dix.
Copy !req
419. I made a mistake.
Don't you ever make a mistake?
Copy !req
420. Sure.
Copy !req
421. Sure. Here, have a drink.
Copy !req
422. Here you are.
Copy !req
423. There you are, Dix.
Copy !req
424. You know, Dix, you gotta
play the horses the smart way.
Copy !req
425. Save your money. The next time
there's a fix going, I'll let you know.
Copy !req
426. It'll be money from home.
Money from home.
Copy !req
427. Excuse me.
Copy !req
428. Oh, it's the Doc. Come on in, Doc.
Copy !req
429. Want you to meet a friend of mine.
Dix Handley.
Copy !req
430. This is Doc Riedenschneider.
Copy !req
431. - You heard of him, I guess, huh?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
432. Well, how'd you like the whiskey?
Made in your home state.
Copy !req
433. Oh. Where is that, sir?
Copy !req
434. Kentucky. Boone County, Kentucky.
Copy !req
435. - Best water in the USA.
- Is that so?
Copy !req
436. Yeah, it's the water
makes the whiskey fit to drink.
Copy !req
437. Well...
Copy !req
438. I gotta be going.
I'll see you around sometime maybe.
Copy !req
439. So long, Dix.
Copy !req
440. Whew.
Copy !req
441. Big hick.
Copy !req
442. The color of his money's all right,
but I wish he wasn't so touchy.
Copy !req
443. Maybe it's a point of honor with him.
A gambling debt.
Copy !req
444. Him? That hooligan? Honor?
Copy !req
445. Don't make me laugh.
Copy !req
446. - He's a hooligan, you say?
- Yeah, but a small-timer.
Copy !req
447. He'll stick up cigar stores, gas stations.
And every cent goes to the ponies.
Copy !req
448. One way or another,
we all work for our vice.
Copy !req
449. What do you say, Doc?
How was your date last night?
Copy !req
450. The young lady drank too much
to be good company.
Copy !req
451. But the evening wasn't a complete loss.
She talked more than if she'd been sober.
Copy !req
452. - Yeah? What about?
- Your friend Mr. Emmerich.
Copy !req
453. Emmerich? Now, look here, Doc.
Copy !req
454. There's half a million at stake.
I've got to know where I stand.
Copy !req
455. Emmerich must put up
before I can hire a crew.
Copy !req
456. For him, it's nothing. A dead cinch.
Copy !req
457. The information she gave me
is that he's broke.
Copy !req
458. Are you crazy?
Copy !req
459. I've seen Mr. Emmerich operate
for 20 years.
Copy !req
460. He handles only the biggest cases.
Copy !req
461. He's got two houses, four cars,
a half a dozen servants.
Copy !req
462. - And one blond.
- Doc!
Copy !req
463. Whose word you gonna take?
Mine or some dim-witted dame?
Copy !req
464. Yours, naturally.
Copy !req
465. If he's broke,
I wanna be broke the same way.
Copy !req
466. Lieutenant! Lieutenant!
Copy !req
467. That guy you saw in my office,
he's just passing through.
Copy !req
468. Shut up. I didn't see anybody.
How could I? I wasn't here.
Copy !req
469. Yeah, that - that's right. That's right.
Copy !req
470. - Look, uh".
- Yeah?
Copy !req
471. I just came to tell you that, uh,
you'll have to stand still for a raid.
Copy !req
472. You mean you have to
haul me downtown and book me?
Copy !req
473. - It's a short ride.
- I thought you were a friend of mine!
Copy !req
474. Right now I've got one friend - Ditrich.
Copy !req
475. And Ditrich's going to be out on his ear
if he don't make a showing.
Copy !req
476. - All right, but why me? Why pick on me?
- Because it's logic.
Copy !req
477. You're the biggest parlor in my precinct.
Copy !req
478. The citizens know it, the newspapers
know it, and even I know it.
Copy !req
479. And that Mr. Commissioner
knows I know it.
Copy !req
480. I just hate to have it happen.
I just hate it, that's all.
Copy !req
481. - I'm as sorry as you are.
- Look, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
482. I've always given you
plenty of cooperation.
Copy !req
483. But you're hitting me
at just the wrong time.
Copy !req
484. Well, all right.
Copy !req
485. Close up tight.
Copy !req
486. Keep the place dark.
Don't answer any phones.
Copy !req
487. Thanks, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
488. Thanks.
Copy !req
489. That copper, he recognized me.
Copy !req
490. - How'd you know he was a copper?
- I can smell one a block off.
Copy !req
491. Don't worry about Ditrich.
He's on my payroll. Practically a partner.
Copy !req
492. Me and him, we're like that.
Copy !req
493. Experience has taught me
never to trust a policeman.
Copy !req
494. Just when you think one's all right,
he turns legit.
Copy !req
495. - A Mr. Brannom is here.
- Oh, yes, show him in.
Copy !req
496. Pardon me, sir.
Mrs. Emmerich is not feeling well.
Copy !req
497. Yes, well, send for Dr. Houseman.
Copy !req
498. - I already have, sir.
- Good.
Copy !req
499. Tell her I, uh...
Copy !req
500. Say I'll be up to see her later.
Copy !req
501. Well, what about my debtors?
How many of them came through?
Copy !req
502. - Not a one.
- What's that?
Copy !req
503. You want all the excuses?
I've got some beauts.
Copy !req
504. As bad as that, eh?
Copy !req
505. Two or three may come through
with a part. They promised.
Copy !req
506. I don't want promises. I want cash.
Copy !req
507. Look, my friend, a private detective
can't go around threatening people.
Copy !req
508. I'd lose my license.
Copy !req
509. Ninety-eight percent of them
you're gonna have to sue.
Copy !req
510. There's no time for that. I...
Copy !req
511. I gotta have money.
I gotta have it this minute.
Copy !req
512. What is it?
Copy !req
513. Girl trouble?
Copy !req
514. Shut up, Brannom! That's not funny.
Copy !req
515. How's that? Nobody tells me to shut up.
Copy !req
516. I'm sorry, Bob.
Copy !req
517. Bob, I...
Copy !req
518. I'm broke.
Copy !req
519. There. Th-That's the plain, simple fact.
Copy !req
520. I'm finished. I'm bankrupt.
Copy !req
521. How could you let a dame
like Angela take you this way?
Copy !req
522. It's not Angela. It's everything.
It's my whole way of life.
Copy !req
523. Every time I turn around,
it costs thousands of dollars -
Copy !req
524. 10,000 here, 10,000 there.
Copy !req
525. I got... I gotta get out.
Copy !req
526. I gotta get out from under.
Copy !req
527. And the irony of it is that I've got
an opportunity and I can't take it.
Copy !req
528. Tough.
Copy !req
529. Bob.
Copy !req
530. I'm gonna hand you
the shock of a lifetime.
Copy !req
531. Did you ever hear of
Doc Riedenschneider?
Copy !req
532. Sure. Behind the walls, isn't he?
Copy !req
533. No, he's out. He got out last week.
Cobby brought him to me.
Copy !req
534. He's got a plan, beautifully worked out,
Copy !req
535. for the biggest caper ever
to be pulled in the Middle West.
Copy !req
536. Only he wants $50,000 backing.
Copy !req
537. Who would be taken?
Copy !req
538. Belletier's.
Copy !req
539. The rocks alone would be worth,
conservatively speaking, half a million.
Copy !req
540. - How much would you get out of it?
- A third of the take.
Copy !req
541. Brother. You're knocking me out.
Copy !req
542. What if I were to tell you that I've got
a plan worked out to get it all?
Copy !req
543. I could tell them that I'd fence
the stuff myself, you see?
Copy !req
544. Promise them cash on delivery.
Copy !req
545. Then... when the time comes, I simply
wouldn't have the cash. You understand?
Copy !req
546. I'd tell them it'd take
a few days more to raise it.
Copy !req
547. I'm certain I could get them to leave
the stuff with me while we're waiting.
Copy !req
548. - Go on.
- Well, then I'd disappear.
Copy !req
549. I'd take a plane to another country,
to another life.
Copy !req
550. The gold and platinum I could melt up
and sell as bullion, you see.
Copy !req
551. And the rocks, sell them one at a time.
Copy !req
552. There'd be no hurry.
Copy !req
553. They'd last a lifetime.
Copy !req
554. How wrong can a guy be?
Copy !req
555. Here I was worrying about your nerves,
Copy !req
556. and you were dreaming up
a double-cross like this.
Copy !req
557. Yes.
Copy !req
558. But I can't do it
because I haven't got $50,000.
Copy !req
559. - I can tell you how to raise it.
- You?
Copy !req
560. How?
Copy !req
561. - What's in it for me?
- Fifty-fifty.
Copy !req
562. Okay.
Copy !req
563. But we may get ourselves killed,
my friend.
Copy !req
564. - Yes, I - I know.
Copy !req
565. - Well, how do we raise the money?
- Simple. Cobby.
Copy !req
566. - Cobby.
- Believe me.
Copy !req
567. He can dig it up without half-trying.
Copy !req
568. Yes.
Copy !req
569. But what do we tell him?
Why do I need money?
Copy !req
570. Leave it to me. Cobby wants to feel big.
Copy !req
571. Here's his chance.
Copy !req
572. Advancing money
for the great Alonzo P. Emmerich.
Copy !req
573. Ah, he'll do it.
Copy !req
574. He'll sweat, but he'll do it.
Copy !req
575. What boxes have you opened?
Copy !req
576. Cannonball. Double door.
Even a few fire chests. All of them.
Copy !req
577. Can you open a vault with a time lock
and a relocking device?
Copy !req
578. - Sure.
- What do you use, lock or seam?
Copy !req
579. - Seam.
- Ever taken one?
Copy !req
580. - Remember the Shafter job?
- Yes, I heard about it behind the walls.
Copy !req
581. It was a good score.
Copy !req
582. - Who supplies your soup?
- I thrash it myself.
Copy !req
583. - How are you as a picklock?
- I can open anything in four minutes.
Copy !req
584. - He'll do.
- You're in.
Copy !req
585. Not so fast. What's the cut?
Copy !req
586. No cut. You get a flat guarantee.
Copy !req
587. - I want 30,000.
- Thirty thousand? Now, Louis -
Copy !req
588. Twenty-five is what we figured.
Copy !req
589. - All right, 15 down.
- Ten down.
Copy !req
590. Fifteen is satisfactory, I think.
Copy !req
591. There's your paymaster.
Copy !req
592. What are you sweating for?
Copy !req
593. Money makes me sweat, that's all.
It's the way I am.
Copy !req
594. - Who are the others on this job, Doc?
- Haven't got them yet.
Copy !req
595. There's only one driver,
as far as I'm concerned - Gus Minissi.
Copy !req
596. Ask Cobby. He knows him.
Copy !req
597. - Gus? Hundred percent.
- Get hold of him.
Copy !req
598. - He'll take the heat and won't flap his lip.
- Get hold of him.
Copy !req
599. Sure, Doc.
Copy !req
600. Any ideas about a hooligan?
Copy !req
601. I know a very good heavy. I haven't
seen him in some time. Red Traynor.
Copy !req
602. - He's taking the cure.
- Rule him out.
Copy !req
603. - What about Timmons?
- Who's that?
Copy !req
604. - My doorman.
- That busted-down wrestler?
Copy !req
605. Are you kidding? He's got
nothing upstairs but solid knuckle.
Copy !req
606. I'm a stranger and do not know
as much as you gentlemen.
Copy !req
607. But what about this Southerner, this Dix?
Copy !req
608. He impressed me as a very
determined man and far from stupid.
Copy !req
609. Frankly, I don't like the guy,
but I never saw a hooligan I did like.
Copy !req
610. They're like left-handed pitchers.
They all have a screw loose somewhere.
Copy !req
611. I suppose he's as good
as anybody though.
Copy !req
612. Gus thinks he's tops,
and Gus is usually right.
Copy !req
613. I like him. I say we take him.
Copy !req
614. Suits me. You're the boss.
Copy !req
615. Well, I better be getting home now.
Mrs. Ciavelli's worried about the kid.
Copy !req
616. - What's the trouble?
- Oh, he's got a cold again.
Copy !req
617. She takes him out first thing
in the morning. It's cold then.
Copy !req
618. She claims a baby's gotta taste fresh air.
Copy !req
619. Like I'm always telling her, "if you want
fresh air, don't look for it in this town!"
Copy !req
620. Here.
Copy !req
621. He's nine months old there.
Copy !req
622. I must say, I envy you being a family man.
Copy !req
623. Yeah.
Copy !req
624. Well, always problems, huh?
Copy !req
625. One good thing about Dix Handley -
you can get him for nickels and dimes.
Copy !req
626. Tell me something, Cobby.
Copy !req
627. It's your money, isn't it?
Not Mr. Emmerich's.
Copy !req
628. - What difference does it make?
- None, really.
Copy !req
629. It's this way. Mr. Emmerich doesn't want
this transaction appearing in his books.
Copy !req
630. I'm not risking anything.
He's good for it in case of a runout.
Copy !req
631. Then you haven't got a worry?
Copy !req
632. No.
Copy !req
633. - Where are you going?
- I found a place.
Copy !req
634. Girlfriend of mine's leaving town,
and she's letting me have her apartment.
Copy !req
635. The rent's paid up
till the first of the month.
Copy !req
636. When did all this happen?
Copy !req
637. This morning, before you woke up.
I bumped into her on the street.
Copy !req
638. Remember that tall brunette, used to do
the novelty dances at the Bandwagon?
Copy !req
639. Blanche La Rue.
Copy !req
640. It sure was nice of her.
I can't go living off you forever, can I?
Copy !req
641. - I was glad to help out.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
642. Well, maybe I can do something
for you sometime.
Copy !req
643. You don't owe me a thing. Forget it.
Copy !req
644. Well...
Copy !req
645. good-bye,
Copy !req
646. - How are you fixed for dough?
- A couple of bucks. Enough.
Copy !req
647. Here, take this and -
Copy !req
648. No. No, thanks, Dix.
Copy !req
649. I'm all through bothering you.
Copy !req
650. Give us a kiss, huh?
Copy !req
651. Doll.
Copy !req
652. Yes, Dix?
Copy !req
653. Maybe I'll wanna get in touch with you.
Copy !req
654. Oh. Oh, sure, my new address.
Copy !req
655. I'll be at 42 Merton Street.
Copy !req
656. 42 Merton.
Copy !req
657. - Hello.
- Hello, Dix?
Copy !req
658. - Ye a h.
- Dix, this is Cobb y.
Copy !req
659. - Oh. How are ya, (Bobby?
- I got your number from Gus.
Copy !req
660. - Yeah.
- Look, Dix.
Copy !req
661. Do you want to get into something big?
I mean, real big.
Copy !req
662. If you do, be at Gus's tonight at 10:00.
Copy !req
663. Right.
Copy !req
664. Everything's here.
Copy !req
665. The soft spot's an old steam tunnel.
Manhole's on the corner.
Copy !req
666. You drop into the manhole at 11:45.
Dix will cover you.
Copy !req
667. You break through the wall.
Copy !req
668. It'll take about six minutes to get
into Belletier's from the furnace room.
Copy !req
669. Watch out for floor wires.
Copy !req
670. Make your way up the back stairs
and jump the alarm system.
Copy !req
671. That'll take another three minutes.
Copy !req
672. At exactly 11:54,
Dix and I will come to the back door.
Copy !req
673. You open it for us.
Copy !req
674. - I'll be waiting for you.
- Good.
Copy !req
675. Any questions?
Copy !req
676. - Everything sounds okay.
- Same here.
Copy !req
677. Well, guess I better be getting home.
Copy !req
678. - How's the boy?
- Oh, he's okay.
Copy !req
679. Ran a temperature yesterday.
Pretty high too.
Copy !req
680. We called the doctor, but temperatures
don't mean so much with kids.
Copy !req
681. He's back to normal today.
Copy !req
682. - See you tomorrow night, 11:30.
- Good night.
Copy !req
683. Have you got a minute, Dix?
Copy !req
684. Sure. What's on your mind?
Copy !req
685. My friend, what do you know
about this fellow Emmerich?
Copy !req
686. You mean the big fixer?
I've heard his name, that's all.
Copy !req
687. - I can talk to you, I think.
- Sure.
Copy !req
688. Mr. Emmerich is taking the jewelry
off our hands.
Copy !req
689. You sure are surprising me, Doc.
Copy !req
690. I don't exactly trust Mr. Emmerich.
Copy !req
691. It's just a feeling. I may be wrong.
Copy !req
692. But it's up to us to collect, you and me.
Copy !req
693. Everything may go smooth,
but if it don't...
Copy !req
694. - If he's got it, we'll collect.
- Good.
Copy !req
695. We'll meet Mr. Emmerich after the caper,
deliver the jewelry and get our money.
Copy !req
696. The payment is to be immediate
and in cash.
Copy !req
697. After that, we pay off and scatter.
Copy !req
698. Don't worry, Doc. We'll collect.
Copy !req
699. Lon. Is that you?
Copy !req
700. - Lon!
- Yes, May.
Copy !req
701. Come in, Lon.
Copy !req
702. - I've got a business appointment.
- Sit down a minute.
Copy !req
703. It's 11:30. Isn't that
rather late for business?
Copy !req
704. - Lon.
- Yes, May?
Copy !req
705. I'm not feeling well.
Copy !req
706. My dear, you haven't been
feeling well for a long time.
Copy !req
707. At night, I get nervous.
Copy !req
708. And when I get nervous, I hate
to stay in this big house all by myself.
Copy !req
709. Look here. May, you're not here alone.
There are three servants in the house.
Copy !req
710. - All you have to...
- I know. Press a button.
Copy !req
711. Well, what do you want me to do?
Copy !req
712. Sit down, Lon.
Copy !req
713. All right.
Copy !req
714. Do I sit here and watch you
read a magazine?
Copy !req
715. - Would that be so awful?
- Oh, now, look, May-
Copy !req
716. We could play cards.
Copy !req
717. - Casino, like we used to.
- Some other night.
Copy !req
718. Please, Lon, just one hand.
Copy !req
719. I couldn't sleep last night.
Copy !req
720. Then I got to thinking of the old days,
Copy !req
721. how we used to like to stay up
and play casino, just the two of us.
Copy !req
722. Yes. I-I wish I could stay, but I can't.
Copy !req
723. My dear, this is business.
Copy !req
724. Uh, I tell you what I'll do.
Copy !req
725. I'll look in later, and if you're
still awake, we'll have a little game.
Copy !req
726. Take your keys, please. We're closing up.
Copy !req
727. Okay.
Copy !req
728. - All set?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
729. Better be careful
how you handle this stuff.
Copy !req
730. They'll pick you up in little pieces.
Copy !req
731. What time have you got?
Copy !req
732. Good.
Copy !req
733. Good luck, Doc.
Copy !req
734. Did he give you the soup?
Copy !req
735. Here's the electric eye.
Copy !req
736. Soup.
Copy !req
737. It's gonna take a lot to blow this baby.
Copy !req
738. Here goes.
Copy !req
739. - What's that?
- Keep going.
Copy !req
740. Hey, Doc, alarms are going off
all over the block.
Copy !req
741. The blast must've shook up
the whole system.
Copy !req
742. - What do we do?
- I would hate to leave now. We're so close.
Copy !req
743. - I'm for finishing what we started.
- How about you, Louis?
Copy !req
744. - It's okay with me.
- Will Gus hold still?
Copy !req
745. Don't worry about Gus.
Copy !req
746. What's the matter?
Copy !req
747. The drill broke.
Copy !req
748. We should finish before 12:15,
before the watchman gets here.
Copy !req
749. The store cop? Let me worry about him.
Copy !req
750. - Hear that, Dix?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
751. - Coming this way?
- From the river. Don't sound good.
Copy !req
752. Dix, take a look, see what's happening.
Copy !req
753. - We gotta blow, fast!
- This is everything of real value.
Copy !req
754. - Heavy, ain't she?
- Plenty.
Copy !req
755. This is the biggest one yet.
Copy !req
756. Wait till you see it in the papers.
Copy !req
757. Watchman. Pull open the door, Louis.
Copy !req
758. - Maybe he'll go away.
- Do what Dix says.
Copy !req
759. Now.
Copy !req
760. Follow me.
Copy !req
761. - Gus, take me home.
- Where'd it get you?
Copy !req
762. In the thigh. I feel it going up.
Think I got the slug in my belly.
Copy !req
763. I'll take you to a guy,
used to be a doctor.
Copy !req
764. No, take me home, Gus. Take me home.
Copy !req
765. All right, Louis.
Copy !req
766. It's after 1:00.
They should be here any minute.
Copy !req
767. Unless there's been trouble.
Copy !req
768. Where's Angela tonight?
Copy !req
769. Hmm? Oh, she's at her sister's.
Copy !req
770. She says.
Copy !req
771. I'd go easy on that liquor if I were you.
Copy !req
772. Half-drunk, I got better wits
than most people.
Copy !req
773. And more nerve.
Copy !req
774. You look worried, my friend.
Copy !req
775. Something bothering you?
Copy !req
776. Ah, live and learn.
Copy !req
777. All these years, I've been suffering
from an inferiority complex.
Copy !req
778. I should've been in the money years ago.
Copy !req
779. You big boys, what have you got?
Copy !req
780. Front. Nothing but front.
Copy !req
781. - And when that slips -
Copy !req
782. I do believe our guests are arriving.
Copy !req
783. Well, everything go all right?
Copy !req
784. This is a friend of mine, Mr. Brannom.
He's been a great help to me on this deal.
Copy !req
785. Follow me. Follow me, gentlemen.
Copy !req
786. It's much more comfortable in here.
Copy !req
787. Say, I'll bet that thing is full
of koh-I-noors and Grand Moguls, eh?
Copy !req
788. Could be.
Copy !req
789. Sit down, gentlemen. Sit down.
Copy !req
790. - Let me get you a drink.
- No, thanks.
Copy !req
791. - Do you mind if we have a look?
- You're entitled to a look, naturally.
Copy !req
792. - Convinced?
- Why, of course. Of course.
Copy !req
793. There never was any doubt in my mind.
I know this fellow's reputation.
Copy !req
794. Just a matter of curiosity, that's all.
Copy !req
795. I'll bet the appraisal is going to exceed
even your estimate.
Copy !req
796. Good, good. In that case, I'd just
like to see the color of your money.
Copy !req
797. Gentlemen, I must admit at this moment,
Copy !req
798. I, uh - I'm embarrassed.
Copy !req
799. You mean you haven't got the money,
Mr. Emmerich?
Copy !req
800. Oh, I have it.
That is, I have the assurance of it.
Copy !req
801. You haven't got it.
Copy !req
802. No, I haven't got the currency
right here in my hands.
Copy !req
803. But it's promised
by an unimpeachable source.
Copy !req
804. Gentlemen, I'm afraid we were
a little hasty. We, uh - We moved too fast.
Copy !req
805. - We moved on your word.
- Well now, wait a minute.
Copy !req
806. That's a large sum of money, you know,
considering present-day conditions,
Copy !req
807. and considering the fact
that we had to have it in cash.
Copy !req
808. So I'm afraid a few days more
are needed to raise it.
Copy !req
809. A few days more may not seem like
a very long time to you, Mr. Emmerich.
Copy !req
810. But to me, carrying this around,
it would seem like years.
Copy !req
811. I understand.
I've got a solution for that too.
Copy !req
812. That is, if you boys trust me.
Copy !req
813. And if you don't, well, there's nothing
I can say except that I'm, uh, sorry.
Copy !req
814. Mr. Emmerich,
what are you trying to tell us?
Copy !req
815. About the jewels.
Copy !req
816. Wouldn't be safe for you to carry
that stuff around. You said so yourself.
Copy !req
817. You mean, we leave them with you?
Copy !req
818. Well, now, look here.
Copy !req
819. When the police start looking
for that stuff tomorrow morning,
Copy !req
820. they're not likely to call me up.
Copy !req
821. They're not likely to send detectives out
to search my house, you know.
Copy !req
822. You, on the other hand, Doc, you, uh -
you're just out of prison.
Copy !req
823. They're certainly gonna be looking
for the big-timers like yourself.
Copy !req
824. Some smart cop might even connect
this burglary with your release.
Copy !req
825. Well, th-there you are.
Copy !req
826. Of course, as I said, y-you -
it's up to you.
Copy !req
827. You can keep in touch with me
through Cobby.
Copy !req
828. You did a great job, Emmerich,
but it's not workin'.
Copy !req
829. - Bob!
- Back away and keep out of this.
Copy !req
830. Now, you, farmer, get your hands up.
Copy !req
831. And you, Fritz...
throw the bag on the floor.
Copy !req
832. Over here, by my feet.
Copy !req
833. Be careful how you throw it.
I got a pistol expert medal.
Copy !req
834. - What do you say, Dix?
- He's got no say.
Copy !req
835. He makes a crooked move, he'll never
pitch another forkful of manure.
Copy !req
836. He's got us, Doc. Toss him the bag.
Copy !req
837. You're not as dumb as you look.
Copy !req
838. Are you a man or what?
Copy !req
839. Trying to gyp and double-cross me
with no guts for it.
Copy !req
840. What's inside of you?
What's keeping you alive?
Copy !req
841. Why don't you kill me?
Copy !req
842. - What's stopping you?
- Okay, mister-
Copy !req
843. Dix, listen to me. Don't kill him.
It's too easy an out for him.
Copy !req
844. Sit down, sir.
Copy !req
845. Whatever possessed you
to pull such a stunt?
Copy !req
846. I wa - I was broke, facing bankruptcy.
Copy !req
847. He's a witness. You think he wouldn't
holler if they turned the heat on him?
Copy !req
848. He's in no position to talk.
Copy !req
849. What did you and your man there
intend to do with the jewels?
Copy !req
850. Leave town.
Sell them off a little at a time.
Copy !req
851. No good. The police would have been
on you after the first sale.
Copy !req
852. You can't go peddling
stuff like this around when the heat's on.
Copy !req
853. Let's blow, Doc.
Let's not fool around here any longer.
Copy !req
854. Be patient, Dix. Mr. Emmerich got us into
this hole, and he's going to get us out.
Copy !req
855. I didn't save your life
because I'm a lover of humanity.
Copy !req
856. We're in trouble
with this satchel full of jewels.
Copy !req
857. As things stand, it's just so much junk.
Copy !req
858. - There's nothing I can do.
- Yes, there is, Mr. Emmerich.
Copy !req
859. You can go to the insurance company.
Copy !req
860. - Insurance company?
- They'll listen to reason.
Copy !req
861. This is a very bad jolt for them,
and it's possible
Copy !req
862. they'll be willing to buy the jewels back,
no questions asked,
Copy !req
863. for as high as 25% of what they're worth.
Copy !req
864. Doc, let's blow.
Copy !req
865. I'll start on it tomorrow.
Copy !req
866. Get busy, Emmerich.
Copy !req
867. And remember, you might have been
lying here dead with your friend.
Copy !req
868. Shall I get in touch with you
through Cobby?
Copy !req
869. No. I'll get in touch with you.
Copy !req
870. Come on, Dix.
Copy !req
871. I advise you to clean up
after your friend.
Copy !req
872. - Don't give him any water.
- He asked for it.
Copy !req
873. - I said don't give him any water.
- Let go.
Copy !req
874. You wanna kill him?
Maybe he's hurt in the stomach.
Copy !req
875. Where's the doctor?
Why doesn't he come?
Copy !req
876. You said ten minutes. It's half an hour.
Copy !req
877. Louis'll die. Why can't I
take my Louis to the hospital?
Copy !req
878. They wheel him into an operating room,
you'll never see him again.
Copy !req
879. Take it easy, Maria.
Louie's gonna be all right.
Copy !req
880. The doctor will fix him up good as new.
Copy !req
881. You and Louis
are gonna have six more kids.
Copy !req
882. All as fat as pigs,
big black eyes, lots of hair.
Copy !req
883. Just like Louis, eh, Maria?
Copy !req
884. Stay away from the baby!
Copy !req
885. Tell me the truth. How did it happen?
Copy !req
886. - A fight.
- Louis don't fight. You know that.
Copy !req
887. All right.
Copy !req
888. Why is it always you?
Copy !req
889. Whenever Louis gets into trouble,
you're around.
Copy !req
890. You dirty cripple! You crooked back!
Copy !req
891. - You have the evil eye!
- Shut your mouth, Maria!
Copy !req
892. I don't let anybody say that to me.
Copy !req
893. I'm sorry, GUS,
Copy !req
894. but I gotta blame somebody.
Copy !req
895. What I carry on my back,
I was born with it.
Copy !req
896. I didn't grow it myself.
Copy !req
897. Please forgive me, Gus. I didn't mean it.
Copy !req
898. - Listen to that.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
899. Must be a fire.
Copy !req
900. It's not in this neighborhood though.
Someplace else.
Copy !req
901. Oh, Gus. I pray to God
that doctor get here quick.
Copy !req
902. Aw, he'll be here any minute, Maria.
Copy !req
903. Sounds like a soul in hell.
Copy !req
904. Dix, why don't you get in touch with Gus
and let him take you to that doctor.
Copy !req
905. Don't be foolish.
Copy !req
906. I don't like doctors.
I'm getting along all right.
Copy !req
907. That bullet just ripped through my side
and went on about its business.
Copy !req
908. - Good thing I jumped.
- How can things go so wrong?
Copy !req
909. How is it possible?
One man killed, two others plugged.
Copy !req
910. I'm out 30 grand. We got a load
of rocks we can't even peddle.
Copy !req
911. Why don't you quit cryin'
and get me some bourbon.
Copy !req
912. Aw...
Copy !req
913. I must be awful stupid.
Copy !req
914. Here I am with a good business,
Copy !req
915. money rolling in.
Copy !req
916. L-I gotta get mixed up
in a thing like this.
Copy !req
917. I ought to have my head examined.
Copy !req
918. Yeah, hello, hello. Yeah, this is Cobby.
Copy !req
919. What?
Copy !req
920. It's Gus. Dragnet's out,
and they're combing the district.
Copy !req
921. He wants to talk to you. You, Dix.
Copy !req
922. - Gus? Dix.
- Yeah, now listen careful, pal.
Copy !req
923. The cops are knocking over joints along
the boulevard, meat wagons and all.
Copy !req
924. Now, look. I already called a guy,
Eddie Donato.
Copy !req
925. Donato's got a grocery down by the river.
116 Front Street.
Copy !req
926. - You got that?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
927. - Okay.
- Thanks, Gus. How's Louis?
Copy !req
928. Not so good. He got a slug in his belly.
Doc's doing all he can.
Copy !req
929. Yeah, here they are now,
the happiness boys.
Copy !req
930. Hello. How are you?
Looks like I'm in for a working-over.
Copy !req
931. Go down to Eddie's
by way of the old car barn.
Copy !req
932. It's deserted at night.
Once you get beyond that, you're okay.
Copy !req
933. The cops never bother
Eddie's neighborhood.
Copy !req
934. So long, Dix. Blow now, huh?
Copy !req
935. All right, all right, all right.
Copy !req
936. What? Uh, please, talk a little louder.
This is Eddie Donato.
Copy !req
937. Oh, sure, sure. I'll get-a Doc for you.
Copy !req
938. Hey, dottore, I got your man.
Copy !req
939. Hello?
Copy !req
940. Yes.
Copy !req
941. Fine, fine. Good.
Copy !req
942. That'll be satisfactory.
Copy !req
943. - Cobby?
- Yes.
Copy !req
944. Emmerich came through.
The insurance people say okay.
Copy !req
945. Of course, we'll have to wait
till the banks open Monday morning,
Copy !req
946. but it's 250,000, which is not bad.
Copy !req
947. What's the matter?
Copy !req
948. As a lawyer,
you may be very brilliant, Lon,
Copy !req
949. but as a casino player,
you have a lot to learn.
Copy !req
950. - Yeah. You don't mind if I smoke, do you?
- Of course not, Lon.
Copy !req
951. - Oh, here.
- Lon.
Copy !req
952. How could you make a play like that?
You won't make a single point this hand.
Copy !req
953. Oh.
Copy !req
954. - Come in.
- Two gentlemen to see you, sir.
Copy !req
955. They are from the police department.
Copy !req
956. What on earth could they want, Lon?
Copy !req
957. Oh, something to do with a case,
I suppose.
Copy !req
958. - Excuse me?
- Oh, bother. We were having so much fun.
Copy !req
959. - Hurry back.
- Sure.
Copy !req
960. - Yes?
- Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Emmerich.
Copy !req
961. I'm Andrews. This is Officer Janocek.
Copy !req
962. - How do you do?
- How are you?
Copy !req
963. Well, uh, what can I do for you?
Copy !req
964. Do you know a man
named Robert Brannom?
Copy !req
965. Brannom. Yes, of course.
Copy !req
966. What is it? Something the matter?
Copy !req
967. There sure is, Mr. Emmerich.
Copy !req
968. His body was pulled
out of the river this morning.
Copy !req
969. - Great heavens.
- But it was no drowning.
Copy !req
970. He had a hole through his pump.
He'd been shot.
Copy !req
971. Will you, uh, step in here for a minute?
Copy !req
972. Well, I must say, this is, uh -
Copy !req
973. It's quite a shock. Bob Brannom, eh?
Copy !req
974. Murdered, you say? Great heavens.
Copy !req
975. We found a list of names in his pocket
written on your business stationery.
Copy !req
976. - Who are these people, do you know?
- Oh, that's a list of my debtors.
Copy !req
977. Brannom was working for me.
He was trying to collect some old debts.
Copy !req
978. Without much success, I must say.
Copy !req
979. Was he giving the treatment
to anybody on this list?
Copy !req
980. "Giving the treatment"? Certainly not.
Copy !req
981. You don't think there's any connection
Copy !req
982. between this work he was doing for you
and his death?
Copy !req
983. - None whatever.
- When did you see him last?
Copy !req
984. Well now, last Wednesday evening
in this room.
Copy !req
985. Yes. We went over that list together.
Copy !req
986. Mm-hmm. The coroner says he was
plugged about 1:00 or 2:00 this morning.
Copy !req
987. Not much after
the Belletierjob was pulled.
Copy !req
988. We figure there might be a connection.
Copy !req
989. One of the heist guys was shot.
We know that.
Copy !req
990. There was blood on the floor.
Maybe it was Brannom's.
Copy !req
991. He could've died in the getaway car
and the others dropped him in the river.
Copy !req
992. Oh, no, no, no.
Copy !req
993. Bob Brannom's a good deal of
a roughneck, but he's no criminal,
Copy !req
994. and if I'm any judge, Belletier's was
the work of big-time professionals.
Copy !req
995. Oh, no, no, gentlemen.
Bob Brannom mixed up in any burglary.
Copy !req
996. Why, that's inconceivable.
Copy !req
997. I see.
Copy !req
998. Oh, uh, one more thing, Mr. Emmerich.
Just for the record, of course.
Copy !req
999. Could you give us an account
of your whereabouts last night?
Copy !req
1000. Yes, I could.
Copy !req
1001. Why? Is it necessary?
Copy !req
1002. I'm afraid so, Mr. Emmerich.
Copy !req
1003. Well, boys, a man of my years
hates to make an admission like this,
Copy !req
1004. but a Miss Phinlay
is living in my cottage on the river.
Copy !req
1005. And last night, I went to visit her
at about, uh, 11:30, I think it was.
Copy !req
1006. Stayed rather late.
Copy !req
1007. Oh, she'll verify this, of course.
Copy !req
1008. Oh, but, boys -
use a little discretion, eh?
Copy !req
1009. Unless, of course,
it serves some useful purpose.
Copy !req
1010. I understand, Mr. Emmerich,
and thank you very much for your help.
Copy !req
1011. Not at all. Thank you.
Copy !req
1012. If I can be any further help,
you just call on me.
Copy !req
1013. - Good day.
- Good day.
Copy !req
1014. - Hello, Angela?
- Yes.
Copy !req
1015. - This is Lon.
- Uncle Lon, why haven't you called?
Copy !req
1016. Listen, baby,
you may have a visit from the police.
Copy !req
1017. - Is it your wife?
- No, no.
Copy !req
1018. No, it's nothing like that.
Copy !req
1019. They'll probably ask you
some questions about last night.
Copy !req
1020. Now, listen, baby.
Copy !req
1021. I want you to tell them
that I was there with you
Copy !req
1022. from, uh, 11:30 until 3:00 in the morning.
Copy !req
1023. - That's most of the night.
- Most of the night. That's right.
Copy !req
1024. - Now, is that clear?
- Sure, ifs clear.
Copy !req
1025. Yes. Oh, no, no. Just politics, baby.
Copy !req
1026. - Good old dirty politics.
- All right. Call me right away.
Copy !req
1027. Yes. Yes, I'll call you later.
Copy !req
1028. - Don 7 forget.
- Yes.
Copy !req
1029. Can we go on playing?
Copy !req
1030. Certainly. Why not?
Copy !req
1031. Why, Lon, you're as pale as a ghost.
Copy !req
1032. What's the matter?
Copy !req
1033. Oh,I-
Copy !req
1034. Well, I just had some bad news.
Copy !req
1035. A man who works for me got killed.
Copy !req
1036. Oh, Lon, how awful. Was it an accident?
Copy !req
1037. No.
Copy !req
1038. No, it was, uh,
Copy !req
1039. an intentional killing.
Copy !req
1040. - Do they know who did it?
- No.
Copy !req
1041. Oh, Lon, when I think of all those
awful people you come in contact with -
Copy !req
1042. downright criminals - I get scared.
Copy !req
1043. Oh, there's nothings
so different about them.
Copy !req
1044. After all, crime is only...
Copy !req
1045. a left-handed form of human endeavor.
Copy !req
1046. - Ever been in Mexico City, Dix?
- Nope.
Copy !req
1047. It's 8,000 feet up. The air is very pure.
Copy !req
1048. Many first-class clubs and restaurants,
a horse track
Copy !req
1049. and girls.
Copy !req
1050. Beautiful young girls.
Copy !req
1051. How would you like to go there,
all expenses paid?
Copy !req
1052. Sorry, Doc, not interested.
I'm headin' home.
Copy !req
1053. Listen, Dix. You can always go home.
Copy !req
1054. And when you do, it's nothing.
Copy !req
1055. Believe me. I've done it. Nothing.
Copy !req
1056. My mind's made up.
Copy !req
1057. It's me.
Copy !req
1058. Look, my friends.
Copy !req
1059. My friends,
Copy !req
1060. I am a respectable man.
Copy !req
1061. For Gus, I do a favor, all right.
Copy !req
1062. With this picture in the paper -
Copy !req
1063. You mean you want us to blow,
right, Eddie? Okay.
Copy !req
1064. The sooner we get out of here, the better.
Copy !req
1065. Our friend Eddie's getting to the place
where he'd talk with encouragement.
Copy !req
1066. Oh, no. I no talk.
Copy !req
1067. Gus cut my belly open.
Copy !req
1068. I'm sorry, my friends,
to bring you this bad news.
Copy !req
1069. - I go now, please.
- Sit down, Donato.
Copy !req
1070. You're not going anyplace till I say so.
Copy !req
1071. Stay put, Eddie.
Copy !req
1072. Nobody's gonna hurt you so long as you
sit still and keep your mouth shut.
Copy !req
1073. The insurance guys must have sicced
the cops on that phony, and he spilled.
Copy !req
1074. You never should've stopped me
when I was gonna blast him.
Copy !req
1075. No, Dix, he hasn't spilled,
or they wouldn't be looking for just me.
Copy !req
1076. Then how come?
Copy !req
1077. Because there's only three or four men
who can manage a job like this.
Copy !req
1078. Somebody in the department with
a few brains has decided I'm the guy.
Copy !req
1079. I've been half expecting it.
Copy !req
1080. It doesn't worry me much.
Copy !req
1081. We'll get our money tomorrow, you bet.
Copy !req
1082. I hope so.
Copy !req
1083. - Where we going, Dix?
- I know a place.
Copy !req
1084. Eddie, if you're a smart boy,
you'll forget you ever seen us.
Copy !req
1085. - I wanna see the commissioner.
- State your business.
Copy !req
1086. I'm a citizen. I can see the commissioner
if I want to, can't I?
Copy !req
1087. - Is it about Riedenschneider?
- Could be.
Copy !req
1088. He sure gets around, that guy.
Copy !req
1089. About 5,000 people have seen him
in the last 24 hours.
Copy !req
1090. If you get in that line and wait
your turn, you can tell your story.
Copy !req
1091. I won't tell anybody but the commissioner.
Copy !req
1092. Okay, okay. Sit down and wait, buddy.
Copy !req
1093. - But it may be some time.
- Okay.
Copy !req
1094. I'd like to see the commissioner.
Copy !req
1095. Where do you think you're going?
Copy !req
1096. - We're on our way home.
- Yeah?
Copy !req
1097. - Where do you live?
- South on Camden.
Copy !req
1098. You got no business in here.
This is city property.
Copy !req
1099. There are signs all over the place.
Copy !req
1100. - Everybody uses it.
- You're telling me.
Copy !req
1101. Even hoodlums
have been bringing young girls here.
Copy !req
1102. - Is that a fact?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
1103. It's cost one of our boys his job
on account of the beefs.
Copy !req
1104. If I were you guys, I'd stay out of here.
You understand?
Copy !req
1105. Okay, Officer.
Copy !req
1106. Hey, wait a minute.
You, with the bag, come here.
Copy !req
1107. Oh, Dix.
Copy !req
1108. Oh, Dix, honey.
Copy !req
1109. You'll have to excuse me.
Copy !req
1110. I took a couple of sleeping pills,
and I guess I'm still kind of groggy.
Copy !req
1111. I haven't been able
to sleep much lately, Dix,
Copy !req
1112. worrying about you and everything.
Copy !req
1113. I was up at your place.
They told me the cops were after you.
Copy !req
1114. Get me some cold water
and some towels and stop yapping.
Copy !req
1115. Well, sure, Dix. Sure.
Copy !req
1116. - Get a move on.
- Oh, you bet.
Copy !req
1117. Put in hours and hours of planning.
Copy !req
1118. Figure everything down to the last detail.
Then what?
Copy !req
1119. Burglar alarms start going off
all over the place for no sensible reason.
Copy !req
1120. A gun fires of its own accord,
and a man is shot,
Copy !req
1121. and a broken-down old harness bull,
no good for anything but chasing kids,
Copy !req
1122. has to trip over us.
Copy !req
1123. Blind accident.
What can you do against blind accident?
Copy !req
1124. One thing I ought to have figured
and didn't was Emmerich.
Copy !req
1125. I know why I didn't.
I'm not kidding myself.
Copy !req
1126. It was the extra dough he promised.
Copy !req
1127. I got hungry. Greed made me blind.
Copy !req
1128. Hey, Dix. Dix, isn't he the one
with the reward on him?
Copy !req
1129. Mind your own business.
Copy !req
1130. She confirmed what Emmerich said,
that he was with her from 11:30 till 3:00.
Copy !req
1131. - How did she impress you?
- Very much.
Copy !req
1132. - She's some babe.
- That's not what I mean.
Copy !req
1133. Was her manner straightforward?
Copy !req
1134. Oh, I guess she was
telling the truth, all right.
Copy !req
1135. Married 20 years.
Copy !req
1136. Consorting with a woman
young enough to be his granddaughter.
Copy !req
1137. It's disgusting.
Copy !req
1138. But nothing about Emmerich
would surprise me.
Copy !req
1139. Educated man who uses his brains
to circumvent the law.
Copy !req
1140. Worst type of human being.
No excuse for him.
Copy !req
1141. - Excuse me, Commissioner.
- Well?
Copy !req
1142. There's a taxi driver
been waiting outside.
Copy !req
1143. - Says he's got some important information.
- Concerning what?
Copy !req
1144. L-I tried to find out,
but he wouldn't talk to anyone but you.
Copy !req
1145. He's been waiting two hours.
Copy !req
1146. - All right, send him in.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
1147. - What's your name?
- Charles Wright.
Copy !req
1148. Hackie number 14803.
Green Stripe Company.
Copy !req
1149. What's this information you've got?
Copy !req
1150. The little doctor everybody's looking for.
Copy !req
1151. - I think I had him for a fare.
- You drove him someplace?
Copy !req
1152. I'm pretty sure it was him
I picked up at the station
Copy !req
1153. a week ago Friday.
Copy !req
1154. - Friday the 16th?
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
1155. - Where'd you take him?
- To a number on Camden West.
Copy !req
1156. I remember because I asked
if he wanted me to wait.
Copy !req
1157. I know a fella that got rolled once
on Camden West.
Copy !req
1158. He didn't have nothin',
so they stole his pants and shoes.
Copy !req
1159. Where did you take him? What number?
Copy !req
1160. 4717.
Copy !req
1161. Kind of a storeroom. It was dark.
Copy !req
1162. - What's that number again?
- 4717.
Copy !req
1163. Used to be a bookie joint, Commissioner.
Copy !req
1164. Get hold of Lieutenant Ditrich.
Copy !req
1165. Yeah, that's him.
Copy !req
1166. At first I thought I was making
a fool of myself by coming here.
Copy !req
1167. But that's him all right, Commissioner.
Copy !req
1168. - You may be in for a reward. I hope so.
- Lieutenant Ditrich on one.
Copy !req
1169. - Where are you, Ditrich?
- I'm at 4th Street Station, Commissioner.
Copy !req
1170. All right. Now, get a search warrant
and go to 4717 Camden West.
Copy !req
1171. - Riedenschneider was seen there.
- That's 4777?
Copy !req
1172. Yeah. Stake your men out
before you go in. Get a move on.
Copy !req
1173. News just came in.
Copy !req
1174. A patrolman was on duty at the car barn.
He ran into two men and was slugged.
Copy !req
1175. They got away, but he identified
the smaller one as Riedenschneider.
Copy !req
1176. Good. Great.
We'll block off the whole area.
Copy !req
1177. And no sirens. We'll make it a sneak.
How about the patrolman? Badly hurt?
Copy !req
1178. A head wound and he's kinda punchy,
Copy !req
1179. but the doctor doesn't think
he's got a fracture.
Copy !req
1180. Well, son, looks like maybe
we're getting somewhere at last.
Copy !req
1181. Look, Lieutenant,
what-what would I know about Belletier's?
Copy !req
1182. I wouldn't mix in no robbery.
You know that.
Copy !req
1183. - Wouldn't you?
- No, of course not!
Copy !req
1184. You saw Riedenschneider here, sure.
Copy !req
1185. - But that don't say -
- You're nuts.
Copy !req
1186. Never seen anybody here.
Copy !req
1187. How could I?
I never been here before this.
Copy !req
1188. Well,
Copy !req
1189. that being the case,
Copy !req
1190. what's to connect me
with the Belletier job?
Copy !req
1191. Somebody saw him here.
I don't know who.
Copy !req
1192. Maybe you got a fink around.
Copy !req
1193. Look. You're sure
you won't have one, Lieutenant?
Copy !req
1194. No, thanks, I... never drink
while on duty. It's against regulations.
Copy !req
1195. Look. I got nothing to hide.
Riedenschneider holed up here.
Copy !req
1196. He was broke. I let him
use a room for a couple days.
Copy !req
1197. I got tired of having him around.
I gave him a few bucks to get rid of him.
Copy !req
1198. - Where'd he go?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
1199. I don't know!
Copy !req
1200. Look, Cobby, do you figure me for a pal,
or don't you?
Copy !req
1201. I sure do, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
1202. Then take my advice and turn state's.
Copy !req
1203. We'll make ourselves a little deal
with the commissioner.
Copy !req
1204. - You won't get more than a year or two.
- Look, I-I'm clean.
Copy !req
1205. I don't know where the doc went.
That's the truth.
Copy !req
1206. They won't believe you at headquarters.
Copy !req
1207. Every time you'd tell them that,
they'd work you over,
Copy !req
1208. and you ain't the type that can take it.
Copy !req
1209. You'd spill your guts in half an hour.
Copy !req
1210. Gi-Give me a break.
Copy !req
1211. You came to make a pinch, sure.
But I'm not here.
Copy !req
1212. I had to go to Chi on business.
Copy !req
1213. Uh-uh. You're right here, Cobby.
Copy !req
1214. I've always treated you right, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
1215. Let me duck out.
Copy !req
1216. - You can get away with it.
- No, I couldn't.
Copy !req
1217. The commissioner's mad.
He's out for blood.
Copy !req
1218. And it's not going to be mine.
Copy !req
1219. You're not gonna stop me.
Copy !req
1220. You're gonna let me go!
You're gonna do that!
Copy !req
1221. If you don't...
Copy !req
1222. Yeah, I know. You'll be a Grade-A pigeon.
Copy !req
1223. That's right.
Copy !req
1224. I'll tell 'em you saw Riedenschneider here
and didn't roust him. Why?
Copy !req
1225. Because you'd have to explain
what you were doing here.
Copy !req
1226. I'll tell 'em about the juice
you've been getting out of me.
Copy !req
1227. The only thing you're doing
is making me sore.
Copy !req
1228. Once I start singing, I won't stop.
Copy !req
1229. - They'll jug you right alongside of me.
- That's where you're wrong, Cobby.
Copy !req
1230. Even if they believe you,
it won't go too hard with me.
Copy !req
1231. Because I'll be the guy
Copy !req
1232. that cracked the biggest case
ever pulled in the country.
Copy !req
1233. - Gonna get hurt, Cobby.
- Ditrich! What, have you gone crazy?
Copy !req
1234. - Stand up!
- Aaah!
Copy !req
1235. I told you you couldn't take it, Cobby.
Here.
Copy !req
1236. They'll call me a fink.
Copy !req
1237. That's my boy.
Copy !req
1238. So, since I'm gonna be busy
with a lot of cases,
Copy !req
1239. I thought you'd like to take a trip.
Copy !req
1240. - Where to?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
1241. The coast, Florida. Anywhere you like.
Copy !req
1242. Could I, Uncle Lon?
Anywhere? No fooling?
Copy !req
1243. Yes. I think a change of scenery
might be good for you.
Copy !req
1244. Wait. You wait right here.
I've got the most terrific idea.
Copy !req
1245. Oh. Cuba.
There, that's not a bad idea.
Copy !req
1246. Imagine me on this beach here
in my green bathing suit. Yipe.
Copy !req
1247. I almost bought a white one,
but it wasn't quite extreme enough.
Copy !req
1248. If I went in for the extreme extreme,
I would have bought a French one.
Copy !req
1249. Run for your lives, girls. The fleet's in.
Copy !req
1250. Oh, Uncle Lon, am I excited. Yipe!
Copy !req
1251. Look, Uncle Lon. Isn't it romantic?
Real palms and ocean and everything.
Copy !req
1252. Who can that be this time of night?
Copy !req
1253. See who it is, Uncle Lon.
Copy !req
1254. Why are they pounding so?
Copy !req
1255. I'm scared, Uncle Lon.
Copy !req
1256. Well, young man, you've got an iron fist.
Copy !req
1257. Oh, hello, Hardy. Come in.
Copy !req
1258. Well, there's a fire in here.
Come on in. You look cold.
Copy !req
1259. I'm here to arrest you, Emmerich.
Copy !req
1260. May I ask what for?
Copy !req
1261. Complicity. In robbery and in murder.
Copy !req
1262. If I were you, Hardy,
I'd think up a few more charges.
Copy !req
1263. You might make one of them stand up
Copy !req
1264. if you get an imbecile jury
and the right judge.
Copy !req
1265. - Get the young lady.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
1266. It may interest you to know that
your friend Cobb has signed a confession.
Copy !req
1267. Want to take a look at it? Here.
Copy !req
1268. Okay, miss, it's a shame
to bust this door in, but here goes.
Copy !req
1269. Haven't you bothered me enough,
you big banana head?
Copy !req
1270. Just try breaking my door,
and Mr. Emmerich will throw you out.
Copy !req
1271. 'Fraid not, miss.
He's got troubles enough.
Copy !req
1272. As a matter of fact, he's a dead duck.
Copy !req
1273. Hurry up, Andrews.
Bring the young lady in here.
Copy !req
1274. Do I have to talk to him?
Copy !req
1275. Couldn't I just talk to you?
Copy !req
1276. Come on, baby.
Copy !req
1277. Get it over with.
Copy !req
1278. And... be smart.
Copy !req
1279. Tell the commissioner the truth.
That's the only thing to do.
Copy !req
1280. Come on.
Copy !req
1281. Sit down.
Copy !req
1282. Andrews, repeat the statement
Copy !req
1283. Miss Phinlay made before you
yesterday afternoon.
Copy !req
1284. She said Mr. Emmerich
was in this house with her
Copy !req
1285. from 11:30 PM to 3:00 AM
last Friday night.
Copy !req
1286. Is that the statement you made?
Copy !req
1287. - Yes, sir.
- Was it the truth?
Copy !req
1288. You better think before you answer,
unless you wanna go to jail.
Copy !req
1289. Jail?
Copy !req
1290. That's what happens to one
who sets up a false alibi
Copy !req
1291. to keep another
from being punished for a crime.
Copy !req
1292. - Mr. Emmerich wouldn't commit a crime.
- He would and did.
Copy !req
1293. Tell him the truth.
Copy !req
1294. Uncle Lon.
Copy !req
1295. It's the only thing to do, unless you want
to be indicted for obstructing justice.
Copy !req
1296. What I said yesterday was...
Copy !req
1297. Well, it wasn't exactly... I mean...
Copy !req
1298. - It wasn't really the...
- Was it the truth?
Copy !req
1299. No, sir.
Copy !req
1300. - You weren't with Emmerich, were you?
- No, sir.
Copy !req
1301. You were someplace else
and you were not with him.
Copy !req
1302. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
1303. He told you what to say,
made you learn it by heart.
Copy !req
1304. - Answer me.
- No.
Copy !req
1305. I mean, yes, sir.
Copy !req
1306. I mean, I learned it by heart!
Copy !req
1307. Get a new statement from her.
Have her sign it.
Copy !req
1308. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
1309. This time, young lady,
I want the whole truth.
Copy !req
1310. Over here, miss.
Copy !req
1311. I'm sorry, Uncle Lon.
Copy !req
1312. I tried.
Copy !req
1313. You did pretty well, considering.
Copy !req
1314. What about my trip, Uncle Lon?
Is it still on?
Copy !req
1315. Don't worry, baby.
You'll have plenty of trips.
Copy !req
1316. Seems to be all wrapped up, Emmerich.
Copy !req
1317. Oh, here.
Copy !req
1318. Say, I'd like to, uh, telephone my wife,
if you don't mind.
Copy !req
1319. - Getting late. She might be worried.
- Help yourself.
Copy !req
1320. But don't try to run.
You won't get very far.
Copy !req
1321. Emmerich!
Copy !req
1322. Wait! Stop!
Come on!
Copy !req
1323. - Wait and see!
- Break loose!
Copy !req
1324. You wait and see, you dirty fink!
Copy !req
1325. You're gonna wind up
where your pal Emmerich is!
Copy !req
1326. You're gonna wind up in the morgue!
You wait and see, you dirty fink!
Copy !req
1327. - Haul him in!
- Fink!
Copy !req
1328. Fink! Fink!
Copy !req
1329. Fire escape.
Copy !req
1330. We're looking for Louis Ciavelli.
Copy !req
1331. I'd consider it a great favor
if you didn't insist on going in.
Copy !req
1332. Mrs. Ciavelli is...
Well, I don't have to tell you.
Copy !req
1333. If the father says
it's okay, Williams, it's okay.
Copy !req
1334. Call the commissioner's office.
Yes, sir.
Copy !req
1335. The commissioner knows me.
Mention my name. Sortino.
Copy !req
1336. Thank you, Father.
Copy !req
1337. "Emmerich was a graduate
of the law college of State University
Copy !req
1338. and had practiced here for over 25 years."
Copy !req
1339. What foolishness. Unbelievable.
Copy !req
1340. He wouldn't have gotten
more than two years.
Copy !req
1341. He even double-crossed himself.
How's your head, Doc?
Copy !req
1342. Good as it ever was,
which isn't saying much.
Copy !req
1343. Getting out of town won't be a cinch
for you with your picture spread around.
Copy !req
1344. Oh, I'll get out, all right.
Copy !req
1345. I'll take a taxi to the edge of town and
have him drive me as far as Cleveland.
Copy !req
1346. Sure you wouldn't
come along with me, Dix?
Copy !req
1347. Keep it.
Copy !req
1348. No, thank you.
Copy !req
1349. If you won't come, will you finance me?
Copy !req
1350. I haven't got but four or five dollars.
Copy !req
1351. Sure, I'll finance you.
How much you need?
Copy !req
1352. I can get along on a thousand dollars,
thanks very much.
Copy !req
1353. And you can have the rest of these stones.
That's $50,000 worth.
Copy !req
1354. What would I do with 'em?
Copy !req
1355. Can you see me
walking into a hock shop with that stuff?
Copy !req
1356. First they'd think they were phony,
and then they'd yell for the riot squad.
Copy !req
1357. No, Doc, you can have the thousand,
but no rocks for me.
Copy !req
1358. Well, thank you, Dix.
Copy !req
1359. Tell me where to write you.
Copy !req
1360. At least I can send you
the five grand you got coming.
Copy !req
1361. - What will your address be in Kentucky?
- Forget it.
Copy !req
1362. Maybe I'll see you around.
Copy !req
1363. Well...
Copy !req
1364. - Good-bye then.
- Good-bye, Doc.
Copy !req
1365. Wait a minute. You haven't got a heater.
Copy !req
1366. I'd let you have mine, but...
You got a gun, Doll?
Copy !req
1367. No. I used to have one around,
but I guess somebody stole it.
Copy !req
1368. I don't want a gun.
Copy !req
1369. I haven't carried a gun since my 20s.
You carry a gun, you shoot a policeman.
Copy !req
1370. Bad rap, hard to beat.
Copy !req
1371. You don't carry a gun,
you give up when they hold one on you.
Copy !req
1372. All right, Doc. You know best.
Copy !req
1373. How about a cup of coffee, honey?
Copy !req
1374. That squarehead. He's a funny little guy.
I don't get him at all.
Copy !req
1375. Maybe it's because he's a foreigner.
They just don't think like us.
Copy !req
1376. I gotta get out of town too
and before morning.
Copy !req
1377. Anyway, he's got plenty of guts.
Copy !req
1378. - How about a cup of coffee?
- Make it or shut up about it.
Copy !req
1379. - It's that wound.
- Bright girl.
Copy !req
1380. Dix, it's starting to bleed again.
I know, aspirin.
Copy !req
1381. Pickering Avenue and Center Street.
Copy !req
1382. - You know where that is?
- Other side of town.
Copy !req
1383. - How far is that?
- I can make it in an hour.
Copy !req
1384. Okay. I got relatives living there.
Copy !req
1385. I'm between trains
and I got nothing else to do.
Copy !req
1386. I know how it is.
I got relatives myself, on both sides.
Copy !req
1387. Always writing me letters for money.
Copy !req
1388. I haven't spoken German
for a long, long time.
Copy !req
1389. - You have a Munchen accent.
- Naturlich. I was born there.
Copy !req
1390. You know what they say.
"Home is where the money is."
Copy !req
1391. Ja.
Copy !req
1392. Franz, how would you like to
drive me to Cleveland?
Copy !req
1393. It's a long way, my friend.
Copy !req
1394. But it would be quicker than to
take the train tomorrow morning.
Copy !req
1395. - What about your relatives?
- Ah, forget them.
Copy !req
1396. Well, I don't know.
Cleveland. That's a long way.
Copy !req
1397. - Costs a lot of money.
- There's a $50 tip for you.
Copy !req
1398. - What do you say?
- For $50, I'd drive you to the North Pole.
Copy !req
1399. We better get gas
if we're going to Cleveland.
Copy !req
1400. Let's not stop till we get out of town.
Then we can do everything at once.
Copy !req
1401. Have a little meal, beer, a cigar
and go in comfort.
Copy !req
1402. I can see you're a man
who likes his pleasures.
Copy !req
1403. Well, Franz,
what else is there in life, I ask you?
Copy !req
1404. Bitte.
Copy !req
1405. You've been gone nearly two hours.
What happened?
Copy !req
1406. It took time.
I was stopped twice. Prowl cars.
Copy !req
1407. The neighborhoods crawling with coppers.
You can't imagine -
Copy !req
1408. - All right. Did you get a car?
- Yes.
Copy !req
1409. Here's the change. It only came to $400.
I got it from Big Vivian.
Copy !req
1410. It's in good shape,
except the brakes need relining -
Copy !req
1411. - Did you put gas in it?
- Yes.
Copy !req
1412. - Where'd you park it?
- Three blocks away.
Copy !req
1413. - Good girl.
- Dix.
Copy !req
1414. - Yeah?
- I'm-I'm scared.
Copy !req
1415. - All those cops out there.
- They don't worry me one little bit.
Copy !req
1416. I'll drive slow. Head right down
the main boulevard, and in 10 hours,
Copy !req
1417. I'll be home.
Copy !req
1418. - Honey, how you gonna drive all that way?
- I'll make it.
Copy !req
1419. No. Not in the shape you're in.
Not in a million years.
Copy !req
1420. - I'll make it.
- Dix.
Copy !req
1421. Let me go with you?
Copy !req
1422. - Please, Dix. Please.
- Are you crazy?
Copy !req
1423. I'm on the lam.
I'm wanted bad, packing heat.
Copy !req
1424. - What good would you be?
- I could drive.
Copy !req
1425. No. I'm wanted on a killing rap.
You know what that means.
Copy !req
1426. I don't care. I want to be with you.
Copy !req
1427. You can't go without me. I won't let you.
Copy !req
1428. I won't tell you where the car is.
Copy !req
1429. I don't get it.
Copy !req
1430. I just don't get it.
Copy !req
1431. All right. Get your things packed.
Copy !req
1432. N
Copy !req
1433. N
Copy !req
1434. Come on. Let's play some more.
Copy !req
1435. I'm fresh out of nickels, Jeannie.
How about you, Red?
Copy !req
1436. - I'm always fresh out.
- Well, get some.
Copy !req
1437. You can cost a guy a lot of dough.
Copy !req
1438. Nickels he's complaining about.
What a spender.
Copy !req
1439. Sure, he wants a date.
He always wants a date.
Copy !req
1440. And where do we go?
To a third-run movie.
Copy !req
1441. Then we take a ride and blow two tires.
Copy !req
1442. Then we come here,
and what do you treat me to? Cokes.
Copy !req
1443. I can't even listen to records.
Copy !req
1444. - For you.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
1445. Would you have change for this
in nickels, please?
Copy !req
1446. Sure thing.
Copy !req
1447. At least dig down for enough
to play me some music.
Copy !req
1448. Aw, Jeannie, cut it out.
Copy !req
1449. Excuse me, boys.
Copy !req
1450. Young lady, I like music too.
Copy !req
1451. - Would you play me a tune?
- Sure. What do you want me to play?
Copy !req
1452. - You pick 'em.
- Gosh, how many have you got here?
Copy !req
1453. - Not very many. Play what you like.
- Okay.
Copy !req
1454. m:
Copy !req
1455. N
Copy !req
1456. Mister.
Copy !req
1457. Mister, it's getting late.
Copy !req
1458. Mister, we better be moving along.
Copy !req
1459. Plenty of time, my friend. Plenty of time.
Copy !req
1460. N
Copy !req
1461. Look, mister,
it's a long way to Cleveland.
Copy !req
1462. N
Copy !req
1463. Well, I suppose we better go now.
Copy !req
1464. Don't go. We haven't used all the nickels.
Copy !req
1465. - You use 'em.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
1466. - It's sure nice of you.
- Don't mention it.
Copy !req
1467. Good-bye, and thanks.
Thanks ever so much.
Copy !req
1468. Pleasure was all mine.
Copy !req
1469. M:
Copy !req
1470. You men want something?
Copy !req
1471. What do you think, Ed?
Copy !req
1472. Might be the number one boy.
Copy !req
1473. - Just might be.
- What is this?
Copy !req
1474. - Shut up.
- Better frisk him.
Copy !req
1475. - Go right ahead.
- Put up your hands.
Copy !req
1476. You must have me mixed up
with somebody else.
Copy !req
1477. I'm from Cleveland. The importing
business. My name's Klemper.
Copy !req
1478. Nothing there.
Let me see that coat, hackie.
Copy !req
1479. - You're making a big -
- Keep out of this.
Copy !req
1480. Tell you what, Bill. Better phone the city
and check on the description.
Copy !req
1481. We don't need a description.
I'll tell 'em we got him.
Copy !req
1482. - Okay, mister. Keep those hands up.
- Of course.
Copy !req
1483. Excuse me, Officer,
but will you tell me something?
Copy !req
1484. Maybe. Just keep your face front.
Copy !req
1485. How long have you been out here?
Copy !req
1486. - That's a darn funny question.
- It's not important.
Copy !req
1487. We've been watching you
through that window two, three minutes.
Copy !req
1488. Ah, yes. Say about as long as it takes
to play a phonograph record.
Copy !req
1489. How's that again?
What are you talking about?
Copy !req
1490. - It doesn't matter.
- Keep your face front.
Copy !req
1491. Do you mind if I smoke a cigar?
Copy !req
1492. Just stand quiet there, mister.
We'll talk about smoking a cigar later.
Copy !req
1493. Certainly, Officer. Certainly.
Copy !req
1494. How you feeling now, Dix?
Copy !req
1495. All right. Cold.
Didn't used to get cold this time of year.
Copy !req
1496. Why don't you let me drive
for a while, honey.
Copy !req
1497. You don't know the way.
I'd only have to keep telling you.
Copy !req
1498. Much longer, Di -
Copy !req
1499. Dix? Dix?
Copy !req
1500. Dix.
Copy !req
1501. Dix.
Copy !req
1502. No, Dix. Dix.
Copy !req
1503. Mister. Mister. Mister!
Copy !req
1504. Mister, you gotta help me.
I gotta find a doctor.
Copy !req
1505. - My husband, he's sick.
- Come on. I'll show you.
Copy !req
1506. Go straight on, ma'am.
Down to the end of the block.
Copy !req
1507. We'll get Doc Swanson.
He lives right near here on Elm Street.
Copy !req
1508. My husband, he's sick, fainted.
Copy !req
1509. Get him inside where I can look at him.
Right in this other room here, please.
Copy !req
1510. Up on the table.
Copy !req
1511. Take his coat off.
Copy !req
1512. Put it on the chair.
Copy !req
1513. Yeah.
Copy !req
1514. Hmm?
Copy !req
1515. This man's been hemorrhaging.
He's lost a lot of blood. What happened?
Copy !req
1516. He was hurt.
He was hurt in an auto accident.
Copy !req
1517. - How long has this wound been let go?
- A couple of days.
Copy !req
1518. Is it bad, Doctor? Is he hurt real bad?
Copy !req
1519. Well, it's not good.
Copy !req
1520. - You got a strong arm, Mr. Atkinson?
- Good as any, Doc, I guess.
Copy !req
1521. Come around here
and hold this for me, please.
Copy !req
1522. That's right.
Copy !req
1523. There we are.
Copy !req
1524. Hello, uh, let me talk to Tom.
This is Dr. Swanson.
Copy !req
1525. Wake him up.
Copy !req
1526. - I'm thirsty. Get me a drink of water.
- Sure, Dix. Sure.
Copy !req
1527. Lie down, sweetheart. Please lie down.
Copy !req
1528. Hello, Sheriff? Listen, Tom.
Copy !req
1529. I got a man here with a gunshot wound.
Pretty bad.
Copy !req
1530. - Here, sweetheart.
- Who's that?
Copy !req
1531. I had to take you to the doctor's, Dix.
I couldn't help it.
Copy !req
1532. Hold him? I don't have to.
The man's unconscious.
Copy !req
1533. No, no, no. He's a stranger to me.
Copy !req
1534. His wife's with him.
She says it was an auto accident.
Copy !req
1535. Dix.
Copy !req
1536. Dix. Dix!
Copy !req
1537. Dix. Dix. Dix.
Copy !req
1538. Well, he won't get very far,
that's for sure.
Copy !req
1539. He hasn't got enough blood left in him
to keep a chicken alive.
Copy !req
1540. - More questions?
- I don't like to harp on the same point,
Copy !req
1541. but what about Ditrich?
Copy !req
1542. - If the past of this police department -
- Ditrich's in jail. He'll go to trial.
Copy !req
1543. He'll be tried by 12 citizens
for whom he's been working.
Copy !req
1544. Let them show justice or compassion
as they see fit.
Copy !req
1545. What would be your verdict,
Commissioner?
Copy !req
1546. I'm not sure. I'm not sure at all.
Copy !req
1547. Let me put it this way.
Copy !req
1548. It's not anything strange that there are
corrupt officers in police departments.
Copy !req
1549. The dirt they're trying to clean up
is bound to rub off on some, but not all.
Copy !req
1550. Maybe one out of 100. The other 99 are
honest men trying to do an honest job.
Copy !req
1551. - Robbery at 193 Scully Avenue.
- Listen.
Copy !req
1552. All units, robbery at 193 -
Copy !req
1553. two male Caucasians
armed with blue steel -
Copy !req
1554. I know you're police reporters
and hear this all day,
Copy !req
1555. but listen with your conscience,
not just your ears.
Copy !req
1556. - ... wearing a brown felt hat -
- ... a shooting
Copy !req
1557. at 25 James Boulevard.
Copy !req
1558. Woman screaming.
Copy !req
1559. Car 1-2, shooting
at 2-5 James Boulevard. Woman -
Copy !req
1560. All units, strong-arm slugging,
3216 River Drive -
Copy !req
1561. We send police assistance
to every one of those calls,
Copy !req
1562. because they're not just codes
on a radio beam,
Copy !req
1563. they're cries for help.
Copy !req
1564. People are being cheated,
robbed, murdered, raped.
Copy !req
1565. And that goes on 24 hours a day,
every day in the year.
Copy !req
1566. And that's not exceptional, that's usual.
Copy !req
1567. It's the same in every city
of the modern world.
Copy !req
1568. But suppose we had no police force,
good or bad.
Copy !req
1569. Suppose we had...
Copy !req
1570. just silence.
Copy !req
1571. Nobody to listen. Nobody to answer.
Copy !req
1572. The battle's finished. The jungle wins.
Copy !req
1573. The predatory beasts take over.
Think about it.
Copy !req
1574. Well, gentlemen,
Copy !req
1575. three men are in jail, three men dead,
one by his own hand.
Copy !req
1576. One man's a fugitive, and we have
reason to believe seriously wounded.
Copy !req
1577. That's six out of seven. Not bad.
Copy !req
1578. We'll get the last one too.
Copy !req
1579. In some ways,
he's the most dangerous of them all.
Copy !req
1580. A hardened killer. A hooligan.
Copy !req
1581. A man without human feeling
or human mercy.
Copy !req
1582. I tell ya...
Copy !req
1583. the black one's the best
we ever had at Hickorywood.
Copy !req
1584. The bay's all right,
but... the black's a real good colt.
Copy !req
1585. Prettiest we have - goin' -
Copy !req
1586. anything... Pa ever bred.
Copy !req
1587. Easiest thing, yeah, but...
he's always... way out front of...
Copy !req
1588. the other yearlings.
Copy !req
1589. He's a stake horse or... I never saw one.
Copy !req
1590. I sure hope...
Copy !req
1591. Pa don't sell him.
Copy !req
1592. If Pa just hangs on to that black colt,
everything's gonna be all right.
Copy !req
1593. Oh, dear God.
Copy !req
1594. I said it. I'll say it again.
Copy !req
1595. If Pa just hangs on to that black colt,
Copy !req
1596. everything's... gonna be okay.
Copy !req
1597. What's this -
Copy !req
1598. on, Dix! Dix.
Copy !req
1599. Dix. Dix?
Copy !req
1600. Oh, God. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
1601. Dix. Dix?
Copy !req
