1. And they're off!Copy !req
2. It's Lucky Arrow breaking on top.
Purple Shadow is second.Copy !req
3. At exactly 3:45
on that Saturday afternoon...Copy !req
4. in the last week of September...Copy !req
5. Marvin Unger was perhaps the only one among
the hundred thousand people at the track...Copy !req
6. who felt no thrill
at the running of the fifth race.Copy !req
7. He was totally disinterested
in horse racing...Copy !req
8. and held a lifelong contempt
for gambling.Copy !req
9. Nevertheless, he had a five-dollar win bet
on every horse in the fifth race.Copy !req
10. He knew, of course, that this
rather unique system of betting...Copy !req
11. would more than likely
result in a loss.Copy !req
12. But he didn't care...Copy !req
13. for after all, he thought,
what would the loss of $20 or $30 mean...Copy !req
14. in comparison to the vast sum of money
ultimately at stake?Copy !req
15. - A bottle of ginger ale, please.
- Yes, sir. Coming right up.Copy !req
16. Favorite broke bad.
Could be anybody's race.Copy !req
17. - Lucky Arrow by a head. Purple Shadow between horses.
- Could be.Copy !req
18. Put a five-dollar win next
to the five-dollar place.Copy !req
19. Stopwatch is third
by three quarters.Copy !req
20. Southern Star is next,
Main Entrance and Stanley Cage.Copy !req
21. - Quite a crowd you got.
- Yeah.Copy !req
22. Passing the quarter pole,
it is Lucky Arrow and Purple Shadow...Copy !req
23. with Stopwatch on the outside to third.Copy !req
24. At the head of the stretch,
it is Purple Shadow leading by a length.Copy !req
25. Lucky Arrow is second by three quarters.Copy !req
26. Stopwatch, going up on the outside,
is third by a length and a quarter.Copy !req
27. Then comes Southern Star,
Main Entrance, Stanley Cage...Copy !req
28. Third Row and Lover's Dilemma.Copy !req
29. It is Lucky Arrow between horses by a head,
Purple Shadow by a head...Copy !req
30. and Stopwatch moving fast
on the outside.Copy !req
31. It's Lucky Arrow, Purple Shadow
and Stopwatch neck and neck.Copy !req
32. It's Lucky Arrow, Purple Shadow
and Stopwatch.Copy !req
33. It's Stopwatch taking the lead.Copy !req
34. Stopwatch by a head.Copy !req
35. Purple Shadow second by a head.
Lucky Arrow third by a length.Copy !req
36. And Southern Star finished fourth.Copy !req
37. Waiting for the race to become official...Copy !req
38. he began to feel as if he had as much effect
on the final outcome of the operation...Copy !req
39. as a single piece of a jumbo jigsaw puzzle
has to its predetermined final design.Copy !req
40. Only the addition
of the missing fragments of the puzzle...Copy !req
41. would reveal whether the picture
was as he guessed it would be.Copy !req
42. The result
of the fifth race is now declared official.Copy !req
43. Twenty-five dollars.Copy !req
44. About an hour earlier that
same Saturday afternoon in September...Copy !req
45. in another part of the city...Copy !req
46. Patrolman First Class Randy Kennan
had some personal business to attend to.Copy !req
47. - ♫♫
- Hiya, Tiny. What's the good word?Copy !req
48. Same as always. Havin' a ball.Copy !req
49. I'll see you later.Copy !req
50. Good evening, Randy.
How have things been?Copy !req
51. What's the use of kickin', Leo?
You wouldn't believe it anyway.Copy !req
52. Oh. I suppose they've been very well.Copy !req
53. After all, a man drives a new car,
lives in a fine apartment.Copy !req
54. So? I like to live good.
You got any objections?Copy !req
55. None at all.Copy !req
56. As long as you don't overlook
your obligation to me.Copy !req
57. I trust it was purely an oversight.Copy !req
58. I'm sure a man in your position
wouldn't deliberately...Copy !req
59. antagonize his creditors.Copy !req
60. I ain't got it, Leo.
I know I should have it.Copy !req
61. And I'm as anxious to pay off as you are
to have me, but I just ain't got it.Copy !req
62. Well, we all get a little cramped
now and then.Copy !req
63. Suppose we make it a thousand?
I'll rewrite the balance as a new loan.Copy !req
64. Give you a fiscal breather, fresh start.Copy !req
65. Listen, Leo, I'm broke, get me?
Flat broke.Copy !req
66. Right now I couldn't give you
a thousand cents.Copy !req
67. - But if you can wait a couple of weeks...
- Might be arranged.Copy !req
68. With the proper collateral, of course.Copy !req
69. You mean, where is the dough comin' from?
I can't tell you, Leo.Copy !req
70. All I can tell you is,
it's a plenty sweet deal...Copy !req
71. and I'll be able to pay off
like a slot machine.Copy !req
72. - In two weeks, you said? No longer?
- Maybe even less than that.Copy !req
73. You know I wouldn't
pull a thing like this on you.Copy !req
74. I couldn't afford to.Copy !req
75. I'm glad you said that, Randy.
I was going to point out as much myself.Copy !req
76. But since you relieve me
of the unpleasant necessity...Copy !req
77. It's a deal then? I pay you the 2,600
within the next two weeks.Copy !req
78. Plus $400... a total of 3,000.Copy !req
79. The extra interest, of course.Copy !req
80. I trust that'll be satisfactory.Copy !req
81. - I can't say no.
- Thank you, Randy.Copy !req
82. I was sure you'd see it my way.Copy !req
83. Take good care of yourself.Copy !req
84. I'll take care of myself, mister.Copy !req
85. That's my specialty.Copy !req
86. At 7:00 p.m. that same day...Copy !req
87. Johnny Clay, perhaps the most important
thread in the unfinished fabric...Copy !req
88. furthered its design.Copy !req
89. None of these men are criminals
in the usual sense.Copy !req
90. They've all got jobs.
They all live seemingly normal, decent lives.Copy !req
91. But they got their problems, and they've
all got a little larceny in 'em.Copy !req
92. Now, you take my pal Unger, for instance,
the guy who owns this apartment.Copy !req
93. He's putting up the money to operate with,
and he's letting me stay here.Copy !req
94. He's a bookkeeper.Copy !req
95. Been with the same company
for 10 years.Copy !req
96. You know, Fay, the biggest mistake
I made before was shooting for peanuts.Copy !req
97. Five years have taught me one thing,
if nothin' else...Copy !req
98. Anytime you take a chance, you better
be sure the rewards are worth the risk...Copy !req
99. because they can put you
away just as fast for aCopy !req
100. $10 heist as they can for
a million-dollar job.Copy !req
101. You don't have to sell it to me, Johnny.Copy !req
102. You know I'll go along
with anything you say.Copy !req
103. I always have, you know,
ever since we were kids.Copy !req
104. I've always believed you...
everything you've ever told me.Copy !req
105. Those five years you've been away, I...
I know they must have been terrible for you.Copy !req
106. I mean, being locked up
must be a terrible thing.Copy !req
107. You know something?Copy !req
108. This may sound funny, but...Copy !req
109. waiting for you all those years
and staying by myself...Copy !req
110. it was like, not that you were locked in...Copy !req
111. but I was locked out.Copy !req
112. Well, look at me.Copy !req
113. First time we've been together in
five years, and I'm making speeches.Copy !req
114. Now, now. Everything is gonna be all right.
I promise you.Copy !req
115. Make sure you're right about it, Johnny.
I'm no good for anybody else.Copy !req
116. I'm not pretty, and I'm not very smart.
So please don't leave me alone any more.Copy !req
117. Aw, nothing is gonna happen.Copy !req
118. Not this time.Copy !req
119. Well, I... I guess I'd better
leave you be now.Copy !req
120. I know you've got a lot of work to do.Copy !req
121. When will I see you again?Copy !req
122. Saturday night.
We'll be on the plane together.Copy !req
123. Look, Fay, until it's all over,
I want you to stay out of the way. Yeah?Copy !req
124. If there's anything I can do to help...Copy !req
125. No. Nothing.
You just make the plane reservations.Copy !req
126. And remember,
tell 'em at the office that you're leaving.Copy !req
127. Tell 'em you're getting married, huh?Copy !req
128. I don't wanna say good-bye.Copy !req
129. - Oh.
- Hello, Marv. We were just talking about you.Copy !req
130. - Hi, Johnny. Hi, Miss Fay.
- Hello.Copy !req
131. - I hope it was something nice.
- Oh, yes.Copy !req
132. Johnny was telling me about
what a wonderful friend you were.Copy !req
133. - Fay was just leaving, weren't you, baby?
- Oh, don't rush off on my account. I...Copy !req
134. - Ah, she's late for an appointment.
- That's right.Copy !req
135. You'll be sure to call
me, won't you, Johnny?Copy !req
136. Yeah. I'll do just
what I told you I would.Copy !req
137. - It was nice to see you again, Mr. Unger.
- Thank you.Copy !req
138. - Take care of Johnny.
- Oh, there's nothing I wouldn't do for Johnny.Copy !req
139. I'll see you.Copy !req
140. A half an hour earlier,
at approximately 6:30...Copy !req
141. Mike O'Reilly,
the track bartender, came home.Copy !req
142. Ruthie? I'm home.Copy !req
143. At 7:15 that same night...Copy !req
144. George Peatty, the track cashier,
arrived at his apartment.Copy !req
145. - ♫♫
- Hello.Copy !req
146. Hello.Copy !req
147. - Feelin' okay?
- Fine.Copy !req
148. I been kinda sick today.
I keep gettin' pains in my stomach.Copy !req
149. Maybe you got a hole in it, George.
Do you suppose you have?Copy !req
150. A hole in it?
How would I get a hole in my stomach?Copy !req
151. How would you get one in your head?Copy !req
152. Go fix me a drink, George.
I think I'm developing some pains myself.Copy !req
153. Sherry, can't I ever say anything at all
without you joking to me about it?Copy !req
154. Hurry up with that drink, George.
The pains are gettin' worse.Copy !req
155. I saw somethin' kinda nice
comin' home on the train tonight.Copy !req
156. Somethin', well, kinda sweet.Copy !req
157. A candy bar, George?Copy !req
158. No, not a candy bar, doughnut.Copy !req
159. It was people.Copy !req
160. This couple sittin' just in front of me.Copy !req
161. Oh, they weren't young, exactly.
I guess the woman was about your age.Copy !req
162. A little senile, you mean?
With one foot and a big toe in the grave?Copy !req
163. You wanna hear this or not?
Do you or not, Sherry?Copy !req
164. I can't wait.
Go ahead and thrill me, George.Copy !req
165. Well, anyway, like I say,
they were sittin' just in front of me...Copy !req
166. and I could hear what they were sayin'...
well, part of it.Copy !req
167. They weren't young, exactly,
and they weren't really old.Copy !req
168. She was about my age, you said.
Not any more.Copy !req
169. Maybe she was when you started
telling this story, but not now.Copy !req
170. Anyway, she was calling him Papa,
and he was calling her Mama.Copy !req
171. And the climax to this exciting story?
The moral? The punch line, George?Copy !req
172. Forget it, Sherry.Copy !req
173. Just thought I'd tell you about it,
but I might have known.Copy !req
174. Oh, I know. You want to bet I know?
I'll give you seven-to-five.Copy !req
175. Cut it out, will you, Sherry?Copy !req
176. I'm tired. I don't feel so good.Copy !req
177. You want me to call you Papa, isn't that it, George?
And you wanna call me Mama.Copy !req
178. - You know all the answers.
- Go right ahead.Copy !req
179. Course, it may be the last
word you ever say, butCopy !req
180. I'll try to kill you as
painlessly as possible.Copy !req
181. I gotta go out tonight. I don't
suppose there's anything for dinner.Copy !req
182. Of course there is, darling.
There are all sorts of things.Copy !req
183. - We have steak and asparagus and potatoes.
- I don't smell nothin'.Copy !req
184. Well, that figures.
'Cause you're too far away from it.Copy !req
185. - Too far away from it?
- Certainly. You don't think I had it all cooked, do you?Copy !req
186. It's all down in the shopping center.Copy !req
187. Tell me something, would you, Sherry?Copy !req
188. Just tell me one thing.Copy !req
189. Why did you ever marry me anyway?Copy !req
190. George, when a man has to ask his wife that,
well, he just hadn't better, that's all.Copy !req
191. Why talk about it?
Maybe it's all to the good in the long run.Copy !req
192. After all, if people didn't have headaches,
what would happen to the aspirin industry?Copy !req
193. You used to love me.
You said you did, anyway.Copy !req
194. I seem to recall you made
a memorable statement too.Copy !req
195. Something about hitting it rich
and having an apartment on Park Avenue...Copy !req
196. and a different car
for every day of the week.Copy !req
197. Not that I really care about such things,
understand...Copy !req
198. as long as I have a big, handsome,
intelligent brute like you.Copy !req
199. It would make a difference, wouldn't it?
If I had money, I mean.Copy !req
200. How would you define money, George?Copy !req
201. If you're thinkin' of giving me
your collection of Roosevelt dimes...Copy !req
202. I mean big money.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars.Copy !req
203. You really don't feel well, do you?
You sure that pain's in your stomach?Copy !req
204. I'm gonna have it, Sherry. Hundreds
of thousands, maybe a half a million.Copy !req
205. Of course you are, darling.Copy !req
206. Did you put the right address on the
envelope when you sent it to the North Pole?Copy !req
207. Go ahead and laugh.
Wait and see.Copy !req
208. Maybe you won't be laughing so hard
in a few days.Copy !req
209. You're really serious. You really think
you're gonna have a lot of money.Copy !req
210. I don't think nothin'. I know it.Copy !req
211. You've never been a liar, George.
You don't have enough imagination to lie.Copy !req
212. So what makes you think, or know, that you're
gonna have several hundred thousand dollars?Copy !req
213. 'Cause I do.
I just can't talk about it, that's all.Copy !req
214. Not even to me, your little Sherry?Copy !req
215. I shouldn't have even mentioned
I was going to have it.Copy !req
216. It's not that I mind.
I know I can trust you.Copy !req
217. - But if these other guys ever...
- "These other guys"?Copy !req
218. I can't talk about it, Sherry.
I just can't.Copy !req
219. "These other guys"... Is that why you're
going out tonight, to meet with them?Copy !req
220. They got nothin' to do with that.
I just gotta go uptown for a little while.Copy !req
221. I see. Well, you go right ahead, George.Copy !req
222. If you wanna act that way,
I certainly won't try to stop you.Copy !req
223. Sherry, no.
Sherry, honey, don't be sore at me.Copy !req
224. Well, after all, when a
woman's been married forCopy !req
225. five years, and her own
husband doesn't trust her...Copy !req
226. Why, you think more of them
than you do of me.Copy !req
227. What right have you got
to say a thing like that?Copy !req
228. You know I'm crazy about you.
I'd do anything in the world for you.Copy !req
229. Honey, you're the one I'm doing it for.
If I didn't love you so much...Copy !req
230. Look, I don't want you to do anything for me.
I don't even wanna talk to you any more.Copy !req
231. You go up and see your fella,
whatever you wanna do.Copy !req
232. Sherry!Copy !req
233. But don't you be surprised
if I'm not here when you get home.Copy !req
234. Don't you at all be surprised.Copy !req
235. You better be here, you hear me, Sherry?
You will be, won't you?Copy !req
236. You wouldn't do anything foolish,
would you?Copy !req
237. I certainly wouldn't want to,
but as long as you don'tCopy !req
238. trust me or have the slightest
bit of faith in me...Copy !req
239. Sherry, if I ever found you
with another man...Copy !req
240. But why? You have no use for me.Copy !req
241. Oh, you say you do, but when it comes
to a showdown or proving it...Copy !req
242. well, you say one thing,
then you do the opposite.Copy !req
243. Well, I could tell you
a little bit about it, I guess.Copy !req
244. Well, most of it.Copy !req
245. - But you got to promise to keep quiet.
- Why, of course, darling.Copy !req
246. Just a second.Copy !req
247. - Well!
- Hello.Copy !req
248. Hello.Copy !req
249. - How'd you get away from George tonight?
- He had to go somewhere.Copy !req
250. That's a break.
I'm glad you called me.Copy !req
251. Something wrong, baby?Copy !req
252. No, nothing's wrong.Copy !req
253. - Can I get you a drink?
- No, I don't think so.Copy !req
254. Come on, now. That's not my baby.Copy !req
255. - Val, I called you last night.
- Oh, yeah?Copy !req
256. - There was no answer.
- Mmm. I guess I stepped out.Copy !req
257. I called you four times.Copy !req
258. Honey, I guess I was out somewhere.Copy !req
259. Oh? What'd you do?Copy !req
260. I don't know. I guess I was goof in' off
at a movie or something.Copy !req
261. Val, why are you doing this to me?Copy !req
262. - I don't know what you mean.
- I think you do.Copy !req
263. Oh, look, Mrs. Peatty.Copy !req
264. What I do is my own business.Copy !req
265. I never tried to pin you down, did I?Copy !req
266. I never asked you how you got your kicks
before you met me, did I?Copy !req
267. That hurt, Val.
You didn't used to talk to me like that.Copy !req
268. I'm sorry, baby, but don't bug me.Copy !req
269. I gotta live my life a certain way.Copy !req
270. I can't stand it when the walls
start closin' in.Copy !req
271. But you know how crazy I am about ya.Copy !req
272. And I'm crazy about you too, sweetheart.Copy !req
273. I've given you sufficient proof of that.Copy !req
274. Well, I know.
It's just that lately every time I call...Copy !req
275. So I step out once in a while.Copy !req
276. Look, you got yourself a husband, a guy
who'll spend every last nickel on you...Copy !req
277. won't ask you any questions when you come home
from an afternoon movie at 9:00 at night.Copy !req
278. - Don't be greedy.
- I'm not greedy, Val. I'm in love with you.Copy !req
279. If that's being greedy, then I'm the biggest
glutton that ever walked the Earth.Copy !req
280. Don't make it sound so ominous.
It's not like you're gonna eat me alive.Copy !req
281. I may just do that.Copy !req
282. Darling, what are the two things in life
you're most interested in?Copy !req
283. - What?
- Money and women?Copy !req
284. Oh. That's a nice way to put me down.Copy !req
285. - That about sums it up, doesn't it?
- We'll let it stand.Copy !req
286. But I imagine what you really meant to say
was "money and woman."Copy !req
287. We're gonna have money, Val,
more money than you ever dreamed of.Copy !req
288. - Maybe even millions.
- Oh, yeah? How?Copy !req
289. George. That's how.
He's stumbled onto somethin' big.Copy !req
290. - That meatball?
- A meatball with gravy, Val.Copy !req
291. You know he works at the track.Copy !req
292. Well, somehow... and don't ask me how...
but he's got connected with a mob.Copy !req
293. They're gonna rob the track offices
for the day's receipts.Copy !req
294. You mean he seriously told you that he and
some mob are gonna knock over the racetrack?Copy !req
295. And you can believe him, Val, 'cause George
may be a fool, but he's not a liar.Copy !req
296. The guy's crazy.
That's never been done before.Copy !req
297. I know. I told him that, but he says the
job's all set up, and it's gonna be done.Copy !req
298. And if I just sit tight, I'd be up
to my curls in cash, just like that.Copy !req
299. Well, let's suppose this is all true.
How do I fit in?Copy !req
300. Well, you know I've been gonna leave George.
I guess you know why too.Copy !req
301. Well, you've been saying that
for a long, long time, Sherry.Copy !req
302. But everything's changed now.
I was gonna tell him tonight.Copy !req
303. - George may be very rich very soon.Copy !req
304. That's all he needs, isn't it?Copy !req
305. He'd still be George.Copy !req
306. So you think, uh, let's say George and his
boys pull this job, and George gets his cut.Copy !req
307. Maybe I could take it away from him, huh?Copy !req
308. I think you could.Copy !req
309. What about the others?
You got any idea who they are?Copy !req
310. Only this. I went through his clothes
while he was showering.Copy !req
311. I'm quite sure George went there tonight.Copy !req
312. Hmm.Copy !req
313. Kiddo, I think we got somethin' here.Copy !req
314. You know, if this is true,
this is a lot bigger than you think.Copy !req
315. You're interested in taking Georgie's cut?
Well, I got news for you.Copy !req
316. Georgie's cut's gonna be peanuts
compared to this whole thing.Copy !req
317. We gotta find out more
about the overall plan.Copy !req
318. - You think he'd tell you any more?
- Not a chance.Copy !req
319. I could see he was scared stiff
'cause he talked as much as he did.Copy !req
320. I don't get it, Johnny...
about these two other guys.Copy !req
321. You mean there's gonna
be two other guys in onCopy !req
322. the deal, and we ain't
gonna know who they are?Copy !req
323. That's right. You don't know who they are,
and they don't know who you are.Copy !req
324. - That makes sense to you, doesn't it?
Yes, I guess so, but...Copy !req
325. It makes sense to me, all right.
How come we need 'em,Copy !req
326. though, Johnny?
What are they gonna do?Copy !req
327. Well, one of them's
for the job with the rifle.Copy !req
328. None of you boys can handle that,
even if you were willing to.Copy !req
329. And the other one
starts the fight in the bar.Copy !req
330. These other fellas... how much
are they cuttin' in for? Not that I mind.Copy !req
331. Anything you do is okay, but...Copy !req
332. These men are not gonna be
in on the basic scheme.Copy !req
333. They're getting paid to perform certain
definite duties at a certain definite time.Copy !req
334. And they're not cutting in on the take.Copy !req
335. They'll be paid a flat price
to do a straight job.Copy !req
336. Well, if they don't know
anything about the basicCopy !req
337. plan, about the job, then
why are they doin' it?Copy !req
338. It's simple. These boys are straight hoods.
They get paid in advance.Copy !req
339. Five grand for the one with the rifle,
and 2,500 for the other.Copy !req
340. - Where's this money comin' from?
- That's where Marvin comes in.Copy !req
341. He's getting the 7,500 for us,
and he gets it back off the top.Copy !req
342. I wish I could do more, Johnny.Copy !req
343. It's almost not right for me
to get as much as everybody else.Copy !req
344. - After all, all I do is...
- Your money counts for plenty, Marv.Copy !req
345. You don't hear any of them
complaining, do you?Copy !req
346. Sure. You're okay in our book, Marv.
But look, Johnny.Copy !req
347. If these two hoods get paid in advance, how
do you know they're gonna do their jobs?Copy !req
348. I'll vouch for 'em. These guys are pros.Copy !req
349. They can't afford to weasel out on a deal.
If they did, they'd be washed up. Okay?Copy !req
350. - Okay.
- Any other questions?Copy !req
351. Well, let's take a look at this then.Copy !req
352. This is a rough drawing of the track
as I remember it.Copy !req
353. Randy, you'll have to get me
an A-1 street map of the whole district.Copy !req
354. George, Mike, I want you
to go over this thing with me inch by inch.Copy !req
355. Bring it completely up to date,
add or subtract the slightest change...Copy !req
356. even if it's something as small
as the placement of a hot dog stand.Copy !req
357. Now, give or take a few thousand...Copy !req
358. I figure the loot on this deal
at two million.Copy !req
359. There should be that much
in the track offices.Copy !req
360. That includes profits
on the parimutuel betting...Copy !req
361. the breakage money,
taxes from the mutuel machines...Copy !req
362. receipts from the concessions
and the money from ticket sales.Copy !req
363. None of this money is allowed to accumulate
at any one point around the track.Copy !req
364. Except for money to make change with
and the mutuel clerk's payoff money...Copy !req
365. why, it all goes into the office.Copy !req
366. And out of the entire take,
only a few thousand dollars...Copy !req
367. is put in the office safe
to cover emergencies.Copy !req
368. The rest is out in the open,
held for pickup by armored car.Copy !req
369. That car arrives about 5:00...Copy !req
370. and parks directly in front
of the main entrance to the clubhouse.Copy !req
371. Two men stay in it... one at the wheel, and
the other at a machine gun in the turret.Copy !req
372. Two others enter the office
to collect the dough.Copy !req
373. Now, they're armed, of course,
and so are the track detectivesCopy !req
374. who cover them from the car
to the office and back.Copy !req
375. Now, once the armored car arrives,
a, uh, stickup is...Copy !req
376. - is out of the question.Copy !req
377. Say, now, what in the name of Pete
would a babe be doing outside that door?Copy !req
378. Uh, what do you think?Copy !req
379. You guys, any of you ever
see this woman before?Copy !req
380. It's Sherry, my wife.
Why, you...Copy !req
381. You been talkin'.
Now you spilled to her.Copy !req
382. I did not. What, do you think I'm crazy?
I wouldn't...Copy !req
383. You jerk! You clown!Copy !req
384. Come on, clown.
Sing us a chorus from Pagliacci.Copy !req
385. You better talk, George. Come clean.
Either you talk, or we'll get it out of her.Copy !req
386. Please, you wouldn't do anything
to her, Johnny? Please.Copy !req
387. I don't wanna, but if you won't talk,
if you won't tell us what you told her...Copy !req
388. I didn't tell her nothin'! Honest, I didn't.
Why would I do a thing like that, Johnny?Copy !req
389. Sure, she wouldn't.
She's just a building inspector, isn't she?Copy !req
390. Just stopped outside that door
to measure the keyhole. Why, you...Copy !req
391. Let's have it, George.
We're gonna get it out of one of ya.Copy !req
392. If you didn't tell her,
then why was she around here snoopin'?Copy !req
393. Oh! She must have found the address
in my pocket.Copy !req
394. Sure. That's what it was.
Thought I was two-timing her.Copy !req
395. You know, runnin' around with another...Copy !req
396. Of course.
She's just checkin' up on me, John.Copy !req
397. I didn't tell her nothin'.
Honest, I didn't.Copy !req
398. You'll let her go, won't you?
You won't hurt her, John?Copy !req
399. Randy? Mike? Take him home to his apartment
and stick with him until I phone you.Copy !req
400. - No, I'm not leaving Sherry!
- You're leavin', all right.Copy !req
401. Now, how are you goin'...
slidin' or walkin'?Copy !req
402. Come on, George, let's go.Copy !req
403. What are you gonna do now, Johnny?Copy !req
404. Ah, I don't think I'll have to kill her.Copy !req
405. Just slap that pretty face
into hamburger meat, that's all.Copy !req
406. Marv, why don't you take yourself
a walk for an hour or so?Copy !req
407. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'll be...
I'll be back in a couple of hours.Copy !req
408. All right, sister, that's a mighty pretty
head you've got on your shoulders.Copy !req
409. You wanna keep it there, or do you wanna
start carrying it around in your hands?Copy !req
410. Maybe we could compromise
and put it on your shoulder.Copy !req
411. - I think that'd be nice, don't you?
- What were you doing outside that door?Copy !req
412. Doing? I was listening, naturally.
Trying to, I should say.Copy !req
413. Oh, you admit it?
You admit you were out there snooping?Copy !req
414. Yes. Wasn't that naughty of me?
But I'm afraid I was.Copy !req
415. I found an address in George's pocket.Copy !req
416. I thought he might be playing around
with another woman, so I came over here.Copy !req
417. And you'd care if he was playin'
another dame? That would bother you?Copy !req
418. You don't understand me, Johnny.
You don't know me very well.Copy !req
419. I know you like a book.
You're a no good, nosy little tramp.Copy !req
420. You'd sell out your own mother for a piece
of fudge, but you're smart along with it.Copy !req
421. Smart enough to know when to
sell and when to sit tight,Copy !req
422. and you know you better
sit tight in this case.Copy !req
423. - I do?
- You heard me. You like money.Copy !req
424. You got a great big dollar sign there
where most women have a heart.Copy !req
425. So play it smart. Stay in character,
and you'll have money, plenty of it.Copy !req
426. George'll have it, and he'll blow it on you.
Probably buy himself a five-cent cigar.Copy !req
427. Mmm. You don't know me
very well, Johnny.Copy !req
428. I wouldn't think of letting George
throw his money away on cigars.Copy !req
429. Isn't there a big "if" in there somewhere?Copy !req
430. Yeah. There's a couple of 'em.Copy !req
431. If you're smart, if you
keep your trap shut andCopy !req
432. don't nose around any
more, you'll have money.Copy !req
433. You'll be loaded with a capital "L."Copy !req
434. But if you don't, there'll be nothing.
We'll forget the whole thing.Copy !req
435. Nothing will happen,
and you won't have a penny.Copy !req
436. I wouldn't like that, and, frail as I am,
I'd much prefer to be loaded.Copy !req
437. I think we understand each other.Copy !req
438. Now beat it.Copy !req
439. Those guys.
Fine friends they turned out to be.Copy !req
440. Slappin' me around,
callin' me dirty names.Copy !req
441. I thought that rotten Randy
would cave the side of my head in.Copy !req
442. Poor George.
You're all right now, aren't you, darling?Copy !req
443. Doggone it, Sherry, you shouldn't
have come over there tonight.Copy !req
444. It's a wonder we both didn't get killed.Copy !req
445. I don't think there was
much danger of that.Copy !req
446. After all, if they'd killed you,
there couldn't be a robbery.Copy !req
447. If they'd done anything to harm me
or seriously offend you, why...Copy !req
448. They have offended me.
They've offended me plenty.Copy !req
449. Oh, George, don't be such an old bear.Copy !req
450. They have,
and I'm not gonna forget it in a hurry.Copy !req
451. Well, what else could they have done?
I thought they acted quite reasonably.Copy !req
452. Well, anyway...Copy !req
453. What... What did Johnny do to you?Copy !req
454. Do? I already told you.Copy !req
455. Just asked me some questions and made
sure it was all right for me to leave.Copy !req
456. Sherry, did... did Johnny try anything?Copy !req
457. Why, George,
what a terrible thing for you to ask.Copy !req
458. - I was pretty sure that you wouldn't...
- I don't think you'd better say any more.Copy !req
459. Why did you come over there tonight,
Sherry? It wasn't for the reason you said.Copy !req
460. It was for the reason you said, George.
You said it yourself.Copy !req
461. I was just trying to make an alibi for you.
I was afraid those guys'd kill you.Copy !req
462. You know that I wouldn't look
at another woman.Copy !req
463. There wouldn't be any women
chasing after a guy like me.Copy !req
464. Oh, let's drop it, George.Copy !req
465. You put words in my mouth,
and then you say they're not true.Copy !req
466. I told you exactly what happened.Copy !req
467. Oh, dear.Copy !req
468. Everything's all right
with you and your pals now.Copy !req
469. You're gonna have
lots and lots of money and...Copy !req
470. - I've been thinkin' it over, Sherry.
- I can hardly wait.Copy !req
471. How soon will it be, George?
What day?Copy !req
472. It ain't going to be, Sherry.
I'm droppin' out.Copy !req
473. You're dropping...
Oh, you don't mean it. You can't mean it.Copy !req
474. I'm afraid, Sherry.Copy !req
475. This business tonight,
it kinda opened my eyes.Copy !req
476. It made me realize the kind of guys
I was getting mixed up with.Copy !req
477. Before, all I thought of was the money.Copy !req
478. Well, you just keep on
thinking about that, George.Copy !req
479. Think how disappointed I'd be
if you didn't get that money.Copy !req
480. I'm afraid I'd feel like
you didn't really love me.Copy !req
481. I don't see how I could feel any other way.Copy !req
482. Why? Why should I have to do a thing
like that to prove to you that I love you?Copy !req
483. George, what are you gonna do?
I wanna know right now.Copy !req
484. All you've ever done
is talk about loving me.Copy !req
485. That's all I've had
for the last five years is talk.Copy !req
486. Now that you have a chance
to do something and to...Copy !req
487. all those things you promised...
buy me things...Copy !req
488. Well, what are you gonna do, George?Copy !req
489. You know there ain't a thing in the world
I wouldn't do for you.Copy !req
490. Then you'll do this for me, won't you?Copy !req
491. I guess so.Copy !req
492. It'll be perfect, George.
You have no idea how perfect.Copy !req
493. I won't have long to wait, will I?
It will be within the next few days, won't it?Copy !req
494. - Oh, when will it be, George?
- You got your own way, Sherry.Copy !req
495. You wanted me to go ahead with the deal,
so I'm going.Copy !req
496. Now leave me alone, will you?Copy !req
497. I'm sorry, darling. Of course.Copy !req
498. We won't even talk about it
if you don't want to.Copy !req
499. You really love me, Sherry?Copy !req
500. Of course.Copy !req
501. You'll always love me?Copy !req
502. Always and always.Copy !req
503. Three days later,
at 10:15 on a Tuesday morning...Copy !req
504. Johnny Clay began the final preparations.Copy !req
505. - You want somebody to play with?
- Uh, no, thanks. I'm just lookin' for a friend.Copy !req
506. Oh, you patsan. You missed a move.Copy !req
507. Knight to knight five, pawn takes knight,
rook takes rook, queen to rook four, check.Copy !req
508. - King to bishop...
- Go away. Bother someone else!Copy !req
509. You don't know what you're talkin'!
He couldn't do that!Copy !req
510. - You don't know what you're talkin'!
- Shut up, patsan. Make a move.Copy !req
511. He's right.
I could have won your rook.Copy !req
512. - Move, patsan!
- Look, stop talkin' or I'll call Fisher.Copy !req
513. I can't think with all this noise!Copy !req
514. Good game, Maurice?Copy !req
515. Johnny Clay, my old friend.
How are you?Copy !req
516. Good to see you, Maurice.
Been a long time, huh?Copy !req
517. - How long have you been out?
- Oh, not very long.Copy !req
518. It was very difficult, no?Copy !req
519. Yeah.Copy !req
520. Very difficult.Copy !req
521. You have my sympathies, Johnny.Copy !req
522. You have not yet learned that in this life
you have to be like everyone else...Copy !req
523. the perfect mediocrity.Copy !req
524. No better, no worse.Copy !req
525. Individuality is a monster,
and it must be strangled in its cradle...Copy !req
526. to make our friends feel comfortable.Copy !req
527. You know, I often thought
that the gangster and the artist...Copy !req
528. are the same in the eyes of the masses.Copy !req
529. They're admired and hero-worshipped,
but there is always present...Copy !req
530. underlying wish to see them destroyed
at the peak of their glory.Copy !req
531. Yeah. Like the, um...Copy !req
532. Like the man said,
"Life is like a glass of tea." Huh?Copy !req
533. Oh, Johnny, my friend,
you never were very bright...Copy !req
534. but I love you anyway.Copy !req
535. How, uh... How's life
been treating you, Maurice?Copy !req
536. About the same as always.Copy !req
537. When I need some money,
I go out and wrestle.Copy !req
538. But mostly I'm up here,
wasting my time playing chess.Copy !req
539. But, you know, I wouldn't know
what to do with myself...Copy !req
540. if I didn't have this place to come to.Copy !req
541. Maurice, could you use $2,500?Copy !req
542. It has a pleasant ring to the ear.
Quite musical.Copy !req
543. What is it for?Copy !req
544. For taking care of half a dozen private dicks.
Racetrack cops.Copy !req
545. I want you to start a fight
with the bartender at the track.Copy !req
546. The track cops will try to break it up.
You keep 'em busy for as long as you can.Copy !req
547. Make 'em drag you out of the place.
No gun play. Strictly a muscle job.Copy !req
548. Would it be out of order for me to ask...Copy !req
549. for what it is that you are willing to pay
such a price to see me demonstrate my talents?Copy !req
550. I would imagine it is for more
than just your own personal entertainment.Copy !req
551. $2,500 is a lot of dough, Maurice.
Part of it's for not asking questions.Copy !req
552. That sounds not unreasonable.Copy !req
553. Still, I will probably go to jail,
and jails I have found unpleasant.Copy !req
554. Food is very bad, company is poor,
beds are too small.Copy !req
555. Ah, it'll only be a disorderly conduct charge.
Maybe 60 days, nothing worse.Copy !req
556. And if a man has a little
money to spread aroundCopy !req
557. in the right places, he can be quite
comfortable for his stay.Copy !req
558. I do not quite understand, Johnny.Copy !req
559. For what you want me to do, you could
get any hoodlum for a hundred dollars.Copy !req
560. Yeah. I don't want any hoodlum.
I want a guy like you.Copy !req
561. Someone who's absolutely dependable...Copy !req
562. who knows he's being well-paid to take a risk
and won't squawk if the going gets rough.Copy !req
563. I was thinking, if perhaps you can't
work out some other arrangement...Copy !req
564. 2,500 I like very much.Copy !req
565. But suppose I were willing
to forgo part of it...Copy !req
566. and take a share
in your, uh, enterprise instead.Copy !req
567. - No?
- No. It's not mine to share up.Copy !req
568. Very well, Johnny. Now I sense
there will be certain details to work out.Copy !req
569. Yeah. I'll buy you a cup of coffee, huh?Copy !req
570. It's beautiful, isn't it?
- Yeah, it's exactly what I wanted.Copy !req
571. Yeah, pops, you could take care of a whole
roomful of people with that gun.Copy !req
572. Maybe not kill 'em all, but then they
wouldn't be good for anything afterwards.Copy !req
573. I knew you'd take care of it for me, Nikki.
Say, uh, how long have you had this place?Copy !req
574. Almost a year.Copy !req
575. Yeah, and it's picturesque enough,
but there can't be much profit in it.Copy !req
576. There isn't.
But then there isn't much trouble neither.Copy !req
577. - What are you thinking about?
- A job. Your kind of a job. A job with a rifle.Copy !req
578. - What kind of money, pops?
- 5,000.Copy !req
579. - Who do I have to kill?
- A horse.Copy !req
580. - A horse?
- A four-legged horse.Copy !req
581. - And for that I get 5,000?
- Well, for that and...Copy !req
582. I figured there'd be a gimmick.Copy !req
583. The gimmick isn't as tough
as you may think.Copy !req
584. You shoot the horse, and, if by any chance
anything goes wrong, you don't squawk.Copy !req
585. And all I gotta do is bump off a horse?Copy !req
586. - Well, it's a special kind of a horse, Nick.
- So?Copy !req
587. For certain reasons,
including your own protection...Copy !req
588. in case anything happens, I'm not gonna give
you the whole story, just your part of it.Copy !req
589. Next Saturday the $100,000 handicap
is being run.Copy !req
590. In the seventh race...
that's the big race of the season...Copy !req
591. there's a certain horse running.Copy !req
592. He's one of the best three-year-olds
to come along in the last 10 years.Copy !req
593. He's a big money winner, and he
won't pay even money becauseCopy !req
594. half the people out there
are gonna be down on him.Copy !req
595. All right. There's a parking lot less than 300
feet from the northwest corner of the track.Copy !req
596. From a car parked
in the southeast corner of that lot...Copy !req
597. you get a perfect view of
the horses as they comeCopy !req
598. around the far corner and
start into the stretch.Copy !req
599. A man sitting in a car
parked in that spot usingCopy !req
600. a high-powered rifle with
a telescopic sight...Copy !req
601. should be able to bring down
any given horse with a single shot.Copy !req
602. And a man with your eye
would hardly need a telescopic sight.Copy !req
603. That horse is worth
a quarter of a million bucks...Copy !req
604. and you know the crowd
would go completely nuts.Copy !req
605. So what? Let 'em go nuts.
You can do it. You can do it easy.Copy !req
606. And you shouldn't have too much trouble
getting away in the confusion.Copy !req
607. Red Lightning will undoubtedly be leading in
the stretch because that's the way he runs.Copy !req
608. So he goes down, a couple of other horses
pile up on top of him.Copy !req
609. - There'll be plenty of confusion.
- I can guarantee you that. - Yeah.Copy !req
610. And there's one more thing...
Suppose by accident youCopy !req
611. do get picked up. What've you done?
You shot a horse.Copy !req
612. It isn't first-degree murder.
In fact, it isn't even murder.Copy !req
613. In fact, I don't know what it is.Copy !req
614. But the chances are, the best they could
get you on would be, uh, inciting a riot...Copy !req
615. or shooting horses out of season
or something like that.Copy !req
616. Well, you put it down, 'cause you make it
sound real simple. You know, pops?Copy !req
617. - 5,000 bucks for rubbin' out a horse.Copy !req
618. - Okay, pops. How do I get it?Copy !req
619. - 2,500 today, 2,500 the day after the race.
- Okay. Crazy. Now, tell me something...Copy !req
620. What's your angle, John?
They'll probably call the race off, huh?Copy !req
621. And they won't pay off any of the bets?
Come on.Copy !req
622. Maybe. But what my angle is
is my business.Copy !req
623. And, Nikki, 5,000 bucks is a lot of dough,
and that's what I'm paying it for...Copy !req
624. so nobody has to know my business.Copy !req
625. All right, John.
I got no troubles with you. I'm with you.Copy !req
626. - I'm lookin' for Joe Piano.
- Who's lookin' for Joe?Copy !req
627. - Patsy sent me.
- Patsy who?Copy !req
628. - Patsy Gennelli.
- Where did you see Patsy?Copy !req
629. Alcatraz. We roomed together.
My name...Copy !req
630. Don't tell me who you are.
What can I do for you?Copy !req
631. I want a place to stay for about a week.
I won't be in it very much.Copy !req
632. I don't want it cleaned, and I don't want
anybody else in it except myself.Copy !req
633. I think I can accommodate you.
So how's the boy?Copy !req
634. Eh, he's fine. He's doing it on his ear.
He's the best pitcher they got up there.Copy !req
635. - Yeah, I know.
- He told me to tell you not to worry about him.Copy !req
636. Yeah, he's doing the book, you know.
I worry plenty.Copy !req
637. Well, he's a tough kid.
Maybe he'll get a break.Copy !req
638. Yeah, I know. Let's hope.Copy !req
639. Here you are. I got another one.
You don't have to worry about leaving anything in here.Copy !req
640. It'll be safe. I'm always over here.
There'll be no maid service.Copy !req
641. - You wanna leave anything in there?
- Just this, and another bag next week.Copy !req
642. Don't you worry.
Nobody will disturb them.Copy !req
643. - All right. What'll it be?
- Oh, no. No charge. You said Patsy sent you.Copy !req
644. Sure, he sent me, but he's a friend of mine.
I'd feel better if I paid.Copy !req
645. Kind of a business arrangement.
I can afford it.Copy !req
646. - Okay, then. It'll be $10 a week.
- All right.Copy !req
647. I'll send the money in the bus to the boy.Copy !req
648. Thank you very much.
Have a nice time, huh?Copy !req
649. Four days later, at 7:30 a. m...Copy !req
650. Sherry Peatty was wide awake.Copy !req
651. Gosh, honey. Did I wake you up?
I'm sorry. I just couldn't sleep somehow.Copy !req
652. It's all right.
Can I get you anything?Copy !req
653. - Would you like some more coffee?
- No, I guess not.Copy !req
654. Nice of you to offer though.Copy !req
655. I don't know.
I'm just nervous and restless.Copy !req
656. I'll be all right.
Go on back to bed, will you?Copy !req
657. No, I won't.Copy !req
658. Even if I don't get up
to get my husband's breakfast...Copy !req
659. the least I can do is sit with him
while he has his coffee.Copy !req
660. Ah, Sherry,
are you sure you feel all right?Copy !req
661. I'm sorry. I didn't mean that
the way it sounded.Copy !req
662. I deserved it.
[Clicks Tongue, Sighs]Copy !req
663. I know I've been irritable and moody
lately, and I haven't acted like I should.Copy !req
664. It's just I can't stand living like this.Copy !req
665. This crummy apartment
and a hamburger for dinner.Copy !req
666. You haven't been so bad, baby.Copy !req
667. Yes, I have.Copy !req
668. But things are gonna be different.
You'll see.Copy !req
669. When we get all that money
and have so many nice things...Copy !req
670. I'll stop thinking about myself so much.Copy !req
671. Your problems will be my problems...Copy !req
672. whenever you're worried about something,
like now, for instance.Copy !req
673. Is it the robbery?
Is that what you're worrying about?Copy !req
674. Yeah, I guess it is a little. I have no reason to.
I know it's gonna be all right.Copy !req
675. Ah, naturally you'd be a little upset
at a time like this.Copy !req
676. It's today, isn't it?Copy !req
677. What makes you think that? Just because
I couldn't sleep, it doesn't mean...Copy !req
678. No, I know my Georgie.
He can't fool me.Copy !req
679. I'm right, aren't I, darling?
Today is the day we get all that money.Copy !req
680. No, you ain't. It isn't today.Copy !req
681. If you don't stop pestering me, trying to find
out something you have no reason to know...Copy !req
682. there ain't gonna be no money.Copy !req
683. - But, George, how can you...
- I mean it, Sherry! Now, I'm gettin' fed up.Copy !req
684. You heard what Johnny told you...
to stop butting in, mind your own business...Copy !req
685. or he'd call this whole thing off.Copy !req
686. He told me something else too,
which I neglected to tell you.Copy !req
687. That if I did "butt in," as you and he
choose to call it, he'd break my neck.Copy !req
688. Maybe he had reason to. He wanted to make
you understand that he means business.Copy !req
689. All I've gotta say is,
you've certainly changed your tune...Copy !req
690. since he and his friends
slapped you around.Copy !req
691. Well, I was pretty sore about that,
but, after all, what could they do?Copy !req
692. You said yourself they acted pretty reasonable.
We have no reason to hold a grudge.Copy !req
693. Well, I'm not gonna argue with you, George.Copy !req
694. If you let people beat you up, and then take
their side against your own wife, why...Copy !req
695. But you did, Sherry! You said...
Look, I wanted to quit. You wouldn't let me.Copy !req
696. You said I had no reason to.Copy !req
697. Anyway, Johnny didn't lay a hand on me.
None of the guys did but Randy.Copy !req
698. I was gonna tell you something
about your dear friend Johnny...Copy !req
699. but since you feel about him like you do,
take his word against mine...Copy !req
700. What about him?
What were you gonna tell me?Copy !req
701. Let's stop the conversation right there.Copy !req
702. What were you gonna tell me, Sherry?Copy !req
703. I don't think I can tell you
when you feel like you do about him.Copy !req
704. Not havin' any faith in me
and keepin' secrets.Copy !req
705. We won't have any secrets.Copy !req
706. What happened?Copy !req
707. Well, I tried to tell you about this
the other night, but...Copy !req
708. you were so upset, and every time
I tried to say anything, you cut me off.Copy !req
709. Sherry, what are you trying to tell me?Copy !req
710. I tried to stop him.
I pleaded and I struggled.Copy !req
711. But...Copy !req
712. Oh. It doesn't matter, does it, darling?Copy !req
713. The only thing that really matters
is how I feel about you now, isn't it?Copy !req
714. It is today, isn't it?Copy !req
715. Earlier that morning, at 5:00 a. m...Copy !req
716. Red Lightning was fed
only a half portion of feed...Copy !req
717. in preparation for
the seventh race that afternoon...Copy !req
718. the $100,000 Lansdowne Stakes.Copy !req
719. At 7:00 that morning, Johnny Clay began
what might be the last day of his life.Copy !req
720. Yeah. All right, all right.Copy !req
721. Oh.Copy !req
722. - What time is it?
- It's early yet. It's only 7:00.Copy !req
723. You better go back to sleep after I leave.Copy !req
724. I, uh, just wanted to say good-bye.Copy !req
725. Till tonight, that is.Copy !req
726. Everything's all set.
Should go perfectly.Copy !req
727. But if it doesn't, if anything goes wrong,
why, don't talk about this with anyone.Copy !req
728. You'll be in the clear for
everything except being shortCopy !req
729. on your books, and I don't think
they'll be too rough on you.Copy !req
730. Oh. I'm not worried about that. As a matter
of fact, I'm not worried about anything.Copy !req
731. I just wish there was something more
I could do to help.Copy !req
732. No, you've done your part.
I only hope we can do ours as well.Copy !req
733. We, uh...Copy !req
734. We'll probably never see
each other again afterCopy !req
735. we split the money and
break up tonight, but...Copy !req
736. in my book,
you'll always be a stand-up guy.Copy !req
737. Johnny, I...Copy !req
738. I don't know how to say this, and I
don't even know if I have the right...Copy !req
739. but I've always thought maybe
you're like my own kid.Copy !req
740. Ah, you can say anything you want.Copy !req
741. You've had a lot of rough breaks,
and maybe you've made a few mistakes...Copy !req
742. but after today, the good Lord willing,
you'll be a new man.Copy !req
743. A rich man.Copy !req
744. And that can make a lot of difference.Copy !req
745. You got a lot of life ahead of you,
a lot of people to meet.Copy !req
746. People of quality and substance.Copy !req
747. What are you gettin' at?Copy !req
748. Wouldn't it be great
if we could just go away, the two of us...Copy !req
749. and let the old world
take a couple of turns...Copy !req
750. and have a chance
to take stock of things?Copy !req
751. It can be pretty serious and terrible,
particularly if it's not the right person.Copy !req
752. Getting married, I mean.Copy !req
753. You better go back to sleep.Copy !req
754. The, uh, seventh race starts about 4:30
if you want to catch it on the radio.Copy !req
755. I'll be back here about 7:00.Copy !req
756. Keep away from the track.
Go to a movie or something.Copy !req
757. - See you later.Copy !req
758. It was exactly 7:00 a.m.
when he got to the airport.Copy !req
759. The weight is okay, Mr. Preston.
Is that all the baggage?Copy !req
760. Well, I'll have one more with me tonight.
I can keep it with me in the cabin, can't I?Copy !req
761. Yes, sir, but be sure and check in here
at the counter prior to flight time.Copy !req
762. - Flight 465 leaves at 9:00 p.m. tonight.
- Thank you.Copy !req
763. Thank you for flying American, sir.Copy !req
764. Stopping first at a florist,
he arrived at the motel at 8:15.Copy !req
765. He was on schedule.Copy !req
766. - Good morning, my friend.
- Good morning, Joe.Copy !req
767. Now, look, this afternoon a friend of mine
is stopping by and leaving a bundle for me.Copy !req
768. - He's a cop.
- A cop?Copy !req
769. Yeah, yeah.
He's, uh... drives a prowl car.Copy !req
770. - A funny kind of a friend that you have.
- He's a funny kind of a cop.Copy !req
771. Now, you let him in, huh?
He'll leave this bundle for me about 6:30.Copy !req
772. I'll be by right after that and pick it up,
and that's the last you'll see of me.Copy !req
773. - Would you come in for a drink?
- I'd like to, but I got a lot to do today.Copy !req
774. - If I did that, everything would be fouled up.
- I understand. I'll see you tonight.Copy !req
775. - Yeah. Okay.
- So long. Take care of yourself.Copy !req
776. He reached the bus station at 8:45.Copy !req
777. It was 9:20 when he arrived
at Mike's apartment.Copy !req
778. So far everything had gone off
according to plan.Copy !req
779. Mike O'Reilly was ready at 11:15.Copy !req
780. What goes on here?
This is no way to get your strength back.Copy !req
781. Oh, it's very good, Mike,
but I guess I'm just not hungry.Copy !req
782. Really, I couldn't eat another bite.Copy !req
783. Another?
You haven't eaten anything yet.Copy !req
784. Well, I'll take something after a while,
after I've had my medicine.Copy !req
785. I'll have more appetite then.Copy !req
786. That's a promise. No tricks now.Copy !req
787. - It's a promise.Copy !req
788. You'd better go along now, Mike,
or you'll be late for work.Copy !req
789. Yeah, I guess I will.Copy !req
790. Ruthie, things are gonna
get much better for us.Copy !req
791. I know. I know, dear.Copy !req
792. I know I've made a lot of promises in the
past, but this time it's not just talk.Copy !req
793. We're gonna be rich, and soon.Copy !req
794. You're gonna have a fine house
and doctors that'll make you well again.Copy !req
795. Of course, dear. But you'd better
go along, Mike, or you'll be late.Copy !req
796. Yeah.Copy !req
797. - Oh, Mike?
- Yes?Copy !req
798. On your way home tonight,
would you bring me some magazines?Copy !req
799. Of course.Copy !req
800. But, uh, Ruthie,
I'm going to be a little late.Copy !req
801. Probably about 10:00. Some of the fellas
and me are having a little get-together.Copy !req
802. I understand.Copy !req
803. Don't you drink
too much beer, Mike.Copy !req
804. Remember how
it always leaves you the next day.Copy !req
805. Don't worry about that.
I won't be doing any drinking tonight.Copy !req
806. I called Mother. She'll be over
this afternoon to fix your dinner.Copy !req
807. Thank you, dear.Copy !req
808. Good-bye.Copy !req
809. Don't forget to eat your breakfast.Copy !req
810. He reached the bus station at 11:29.Copy !req
811. At 12:10, as it was his custom,
he arrived at the track.Copy !req
812. Well, what do we got here?
Who's the girlfriend, Mike?Copy !req
813. That's how you spend your money...
blowing your money on dames.Copy !req
814. An old man like you
that oughta know better.Copy !req
815. I ain't like you guys.
These posies are for my wife.Copy !req
816. Besides, where do you guys get off
calling me an old man?Copy !req
817. [Man #1 Chuckles] Why don't you buy your
flowers after you get through work, Mike?Copy !req
818. Liable to wilt on you
before you get home.Copy !req
819. Well, it can't be helped.Copy !req
820. After work
the shops will all be closed.Copy !req
821. [Man #2] Why don't you take 'em out
and put 'em in some water?Copy !req
822. Or probably the clubhouse steward
would put 'em in the refrigerator for you.Copy !req
823. - Why don't you do that?
- Well, perhaps I should.Copy !req
824. But, well, it's getting
kinda late now, and...Copy !req
825. - I'm all dressed. Why don't I do it for you?
- No.Copy !req
826. What's the matter, Mike?
I was just trying to do you a favor.Copy !req
827. These flowers are going in my locker.
Then I'll know where they are.Copy !req
828. Okay, Mike. Suit yourself.Copy !req
829. I'm sorry, Bill.
I appreciate your offer.Copy !req
830. But after work you know how it is.Copy !req
831. Everybody will be in a hurry
to get away, and...Copy !req
832. Hi.Copy !req
833. is third, and Comfort King.Copy !req
834. It is My Baby leading by a length.Copy !req
835. Concentrator is second

836. Second Ending, moving up fast now
on the outside, is third, and Comfort King.Copy !req
837. It is My Baby, Concentrator
and Second Ending.Copy !req
838. It is Second Ending,
Concentrator and Comfort King.Copy !req
839. It is Second Ending in front.Copy !req
840. Down to the wire it's Second Ending,
the winner by a half a length!Copy !req
841. Concentrator second by two,
Comfort King third, and My Baby.Copy !req
842. The result of the first
race now appears on the totalizator board.Copy !req
843. Be sure to hold all tickets until the
result of the race is declared official.Copy !req
844. After the first race, Mike was very busy.Copy !req
845. Gimme a double bourbon, please.Copy !req
846. Don't you think
you've had enough, pal?Copy !req
847. Your attention, please.Copy !req
848. The horses are now on the track
for the second race at six furlongs.Copy !req
849. At exactly 3:32 that same afternoon...Copy !req
850. Officer Randy Kennan set in motion
his phase of the operation.Copy !req
851. Hello, Fred. This is Randy.Copy !req
852. Listen, pal, will you check
with the dispatcher's office...Copy !req
853. and see if they've been getting me
loud and clear?Copy !req
854. I think my set's
a little on the blink.Copy !req
855. Sure.Copy !req
856. Huh? What?Copy !req
857. He says it's okay?Copy !req
858. Well, that's funny.
It keeps going dead.Copy !req
859. No, I don't think it's one of the tubes.
I'll keep fooling around with it.Copy !req
860. Give my regards to your missus. By the way,
when's the big day supposed to be?Copy !req
861. Well, don't worry about it.Copy !req
862. The sixth one is always the hardest.Copy !req
863. ♫♫Copy !req
864. Officer!Copy !req
865. Officer!Copy !req
866. - Oh, thank heaven. Hurry! Come quick!Copy !req
867. They're killing each other!
I always knew they'd...Copy !req
868. He had timed the trip to the track
on half a dozen different occasions...Copy !req
869. and he knew at just what point he should be
at precisely what time.Copy !req
870. He knew the entire success of the plan
depended on his accuracy...Copy !req
871. in arriving at the track
at exactly the correct moment.Copy !req
872. A minute or two early was allowable,
but 10 seconds late would be fatal.Copy !req
873. Your attention, ladies and gentlemen.Copy !req
874. The horses are now on the track
for the seventh race.Copy !req
875. The $100,000-added

880. Maurice was at the chess club.Copy !req
881. He was to be at the track in position at 4:00,
just before the start of the seventh race.Copy !req
882. Fisher, I am supposed to be back here
tonight about 6:30.Copy !req
883. If I'm not, I'd like you
to do something for me.Copy !req
884. Sure, Maurice. What is it?Copy !req
885. I'd like you to call this number
and ask for Mr. Stillman...Copy !req
886. and tell him
Maurice requires his services.Copy !req
887. Sounds pretty mysterious.
What's it all about?Copy !req
888. There are some things, my dear Fisher,
which do not bear much looking into.Copy !req
889. You have undoubtedly heard
of the Siberian goat herder...Copy !req
890. who tried to discover
the true nature of the sun.Copy !req
891. He stared up at the heavenly body
until it made him blind.Copy !req
892. There are many things of this sort...Copy !req
893. including love and death
and my business for today.Copy !req
894. Please remember to make that call
if I'm not back at 6:30.Copy !req
895. - Your attention, ladies and gentlemen.Copy !req

the starting gate for the seventh race.Copy !req
904. The horses are approaching
the starting gate for the seventh race.Copy !req
905. The horses are at the gate.Copy !req
906. The horses are at the gate.Copy !req
907. Hey! How about some service,
you stupid-looking Irish pig?Copy !req
908. Hey, what's the matter with...Copy !req
909. Hold him.Copy !req
910. Come on, break it up. Look out.Copy !req
911. it was exactly 4:23
when they dragged Maurice out.Copy !req
912. At 11:40 that morning
Nikki left his farm.Copy !req
913. At 11:40 that morning
Nikki left his farm.Copy !req
914. He arrived at the track at 12:30.Copy !req
915. - Hi there.
- Use the other parking lot, mister. This one ain't open yet.Copy !req
916. - I don't like to trouble you.
- You're not troubling me.Copy !req
917. I said there's no parking here.
There's no parking, and that's that.Copy !req
918. Look, Mac, I'm a paraplegic.Copy !req
919. I want to get in this lot
to watch the races from my car.Copy !req
920. That ain't my problem, mister.Copy !req
921. My leg's bum, too,
but nobody's feeling sorry for me.Copy !req
922. I know what you mean, buddy.Copy !req
923. Get that in the war?Copy !req
924. Battle of the Bulge.Copy !req
925. Say, look, I know this is
a lot of extra trouble for you.Copy !req
926. - I want you to have this.
- No, no, no. Skip it, skip it.Copy !req
927. I want you to take it.Copy !req
928. Now go on, keep it.Copy !req
929. It's all right.Copy !req
930. - Well, thanks a lot, mister. I'm sorry I...
- That's okay. Forget it.Copy !req
931. Say, will you take down that fence?Copy !req
932. I'd like to get settled down
before the first race starts. Okay?Copy !req
933. Sure, mister.Copy !req
934. Your attention, please.Copy !req
935. The horses are now on the track
for the second race at six furlongs.Copy !req
936. I had this layin' around, mister.
I thought you might like to have it.Copy !req
937. Thanks. That's very kind of you.Copy !req
938. No trouble at all.
If you need anything else, just honk.Copy !req
939. I doubt if I'll need anything.
I'm getting along just fine.Copy !req
940. But thanks anyway.Copy !req
941. Who you bettin' on, mister?
Anything look good to you?Copy !req
942. - Red Lightning.
- Huh?Copy !req
943. Red Lightning in the seventh.Copy !req
944. - So you're bettin' on him, huh?
- Yeah, I got a little bet down on him.Copy !req
945. Well, I guess I better be
getting back to work.Copy !req
946. Yeah, well, thanks for
bringin' me the program.Copy !req
947. No trouble at all. You sure
there's nothing else I can do for you?Copy !req
948. No, nothing at all.
If I think of anything, I'll give you a yell.Copy !req
949. Your attention, ladies and gentlemen.Copy !req
950. The horses are now on the track
for the seventh race...Copy !req
951. the $100,000-added
Lansdowne Stakes at one mile.Copy !req
952. The horses are approaching the
starting gate for the seventh race.Copy !req
953. Sure is a nice day, ain't it?Copy !req
954. - Yeah.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
955. I didn't figure it would be when I first got
up this morning, but it turned out real fine.Copy !req
956. Kinda funny
when you stop to look at it.Copy !req
957. Weather's almost the same
as it always is this time of year, but...Copy !req
958. I sure appreciate the way
you treated me, mister.Copy !req
959. It's not so much the money. Of course, I
appreciate that, too, but it's more the way...Copy !req
960. Forget it.Copy !req
961. No, sir, I... I don't reckon
I'll ever forget it.Copy !req
962. I brought you some luck, mister.
You bettin' this race, I figure you might need it.Copy !req
963. Now look. Keep your junk
and leave me alone, will you?Copy !req
964. Some... Something wrong?Copy !req
965. You're wrong, nigger.Copy !req
966. Now, be a nice guy
and go on about your business.Copy !req
967. Sure, boss.Copy !req
968. Sorry to have bothered you.Copy !req
969. My mistake.Copy !req
970. They're off and running!Copy !req
971. At the start it is Red Lightning
breaking on top...Copy !req
972. Early Streak is second,
I'm Hoping is third...Copy !req
973. White Fire is fourth,
Little Arnie is next...Copy !req
974. Seymour's Darling and Best Seller.Copy !req
975. Moving down the back stretch, it's Red
Lightning by a length and a quarter...Copy !req
976. I'm Hoping is second
by three quarters of a length...Copy !req
977. Little Arnie is third
by a length and a quarter...Copy !req
978. and Seymour's Darling.Copy !req
979. Passing the half-mile post, it is Red
Lightning by a length and a quarter...Copy !req
980. I'm Hoping is second
by a half a length...Copy !req
981. Seymour's Darling is third...Copy !req
982. and Little Arnie

1045. Your attention,
ladies and gentlemen.Copy !req
1046. - We have received no exact information...
Fill it up!Copy !req
1047. Concerning the spill of Red Lightning
in the seventh race.Copy !req
1048. However, jockey Danny Freed
appears to be unhurt.Copy !req
1049. All right, all right, that's enough.Copy !req
1050. Now put the bag here
in the middle of the floor.Copy !req
1051. Get back over there.Copy !req

1056. Now close it!Copy !req
1057. - Just a minute.
- What are you doing?Copy !req
1058. Just stay right there.Copy !req
1059. We interrupt this broadcast
to bring you a special news bulletin.Copy !req
1060. In one of the most daring and methodically
executed holdups in criminal history...Copy !req
1061. a lone bandit wearing a rubber mask...Copy !req
1062. today took an estimated $2 million
stuffed into a large duffel bag...Copy !req
1063. from the offices
of the Lansdowne Racetrack.Copy !req
1064. The robbery occurred during
the running of the seventh race...Copy !req
1065. and was apparently timed to coincide
with the shooting of Red Lightning...Copy !req
1066. just as the horse, valued at
a quarter of a million dollars...Copy !req
1067. was leading the pack at the far turn.Copy !req
1068. The jockey, Danny Freed,
escaped with minor injuries.Copy !req
1069. A man identified as Nikki Arano, who
allegedly shot the prize thoroughbred...Copy !req
1070. was himself fatally wounded
by track police...Copy !req
1071. as he attempted to shoot his way
out of the track parking lot.Copy !req
1072. At this time the most baffling mystery
that still plagues the authorities...Copy !req
1073. is just how the bandit managed to
successfully get away from the track...Copy !req
1074. with the bulky duffel bag
containing the money.Copy !req
1075. A painstaking search of the track grounds
is being conducted...Copy !req
1076. on the theory that the money
may still be hidden there.Copy !req
1077. And now we take you back
to our regularly scheduled program.Copy !req
1078. No one saw the duffel bag
come out of the window.Copy !req
1079. Nah, that part of it worked okay.
Landed right at my feet.Copy !req
1080. I reported my radio out of order
before I went out to the track.Copy !req
1081. But the captain ain't buying it.
He's convinced I was holed up somewhere, drunk.Copy !req
1082. And if the captain's convinced,
there ain't nobody that can unconvince him.Copy !req
1083. Besides, no one's gonna think anything
of seein' a cop at the racetrack.Copy !req
1084. I mean, they won't get any funny ideas
about it and tie it in with the robbery.Copy !req
1085. Anyway, if they do
it won't cut any ice.Copy !req
1086. Captain knows I was drunk,
and he ain't a man you can argue with.Copy !req
1087. So I guess I'll just have to break down,
admit it and take my punishment.Copy !req
1088. Yeah. That would be terrible,
wouldn't it, Randy?Copy !req
1089. A 30-day suspension.Copy !req
1090. It's 7:15.Copy !req
1091. Don't worry. He'll get here.Copy !req
1092. He had to pick up the dough at the motel
where I dropped it.Copy !req
1093. There was a funny little guy
name of Joe Piano there.Copy !req
1094. He runs the place, I guess.Copy !req
1095. Sure hope Johnny
knows how to pick his friends.Copy !req
1096. I need another drink.Copy !req
1097. ♫♫Copy !req
1098. Why ain't he here?Copy !req
1099. Everything else runs on a timetable
till it comes to payin' us our shares.Copy !req
1100. Then the timetable breaks down.Copy !req
1101. He's supposed to be here at 7:00.Copy !req
1102. - I think I hear the elevator.
- That'll be Johnny.Copy !req
1103. Yeah.Copy !req
1104. ♫♫Copy !req
1105. - All right, everybody up.
- What is this?Copy !req
1106. It'll be a massacre
if you don't keep those mitts up.Copy !req
1107. Now, where's Johnny?
What time's he due?Copy !req
1108. Look, I been sitting on that car since 4:00
listenin' to that radio...Copy !req
1109. and I heard
some pretty interesting things.Copy !req
1110. Grandpa, tell me,
what time's Johnny getting here?Copy !req
1111. Somebody gave you
a bum steer, buddy.Copy !req
1112. Look around.Copy !req
1113. Can't believe you were tipped, huh?
Well, if I had a certain little lady here...Copy !req
1114. Where's the jerk?
Where's George?Copy !req
1115. The jerk's right...Copy !req
1116. ♫♫Copy !req
1117. Forty minutes before,
at 6:25, Johnny reached the motel.Copy !req
1118. Due to heavy traffic around the track,
he was 15 minutes behind schedule.Copy !req
1119. Yeah? Who is it?Copy !req
1120. Oh, it's, uh... it's just a mistake.
I'm sorry.Copy !req
1121. Johnny arrived at the meeting place
at 7:29, still 15 minutes late.Copy !req
1122. It had been prearranged
and agreed to by all...Copy !req
1123. that in the event of an emergency
before the split...Copy !req
1124. the money was to be saved by whoever
had possession of it at that time...Copy !req
1125. without any consideration
of the fate of the others...Copy !req
1126. the money to be divided in safety
at a later date.Copy !req
1127. After what he had seen, and not knowing the
cause or the circumstances of the others...Copy !req
1128. Johnny had no choice
but to save himself and the money.Copy !req
1129. Ten minutes later he bought
the largest suitcase he could find.Copy !req
1130. - ♫♫
- [Door Opens, Closes]Copy !req
1131. I'm back here, Val darling.Copy !req
1132. How'd it go, dear?Copy !req
1133. Watch out there! Watch out!Copy !req
1134. - What happened?Copy !req
1135. Sherry, why? Why did you do it?Copy !req
1136. Do? Do what, dearest?
I don't know what you're talking about.Copy !req
1137. I was just getting some clothes
ready to go to the cleaners. I...Copy !req
1138. Hello! Hi there!Copy !req
1139. ♫♫Copy !req
1140. So you had to be stupid.Copy !req
1141. You couldn't even play it smart
with a gun pointed at you.Copy !req
1142. Well, you better get smart fast and get
outta here while you can still walk.Copy !req
1143. But your friend...
Val? Is that his name?Copy !req
1144. Yes, and you'd better get out of here
before he gets here.Copy !req
1145. I... I'm sick, Sherry. I...Copy !req
1146. Call an ambulance.Copy !req
1147. The door's behind you.
Take a cab.Copy !req
1148. I love you, Sherry.Copy !req
1149. George, you better go on and go.
You look terrible.Copy !req
1150. It isn't fair.Copy !req
1151. I never had anybody but you.Copy !req
1152. Not a real husband.Copy !req
1153. Not even a man.Copy !req
1154. Just a bad joke without a punch line.Copy !req
1155. Ain't fair. Ain't fair.Copy !req
1156. American Airlines announces the arrival...Copy !req
1157. of Flight 808
DC-7 service from Chicago.Copy !req

1162. Will the nice man let us wait outside

1163. Why, certainly. You can stand
outside on the boarding ramp.Copy !req
1164. We'll be announcing the arrival
of your husband's flight very shortly.Copy !req

1170. We'll be announcing the on-time departure
of this flight very shortly, sir.Copy !req
1171. - Fine.
- Do you have any other baggage?Copy !req
1172. No, it was already
checked through this morning.Copy !req
1173. Oh, say, I, uh... I wanna carry that bag
with me on the plane, please.Copy !req
1174. I'm sorry, sir. It's much too large.
This'll have to go checked through at Baggage.Copy !req
1175. Oh, now, uh, let's, uh...
let's be a little reasonable, huh?Copy !req
1176. You can't tell me that the two of us
traveling together...Copy !req
1177. are not entitled to one piece
of luggage between us.Copy !req
1178. Sir, we have no objection
to one small bag or even two small bags.Copy !req
1179. But we don't have anything else.
It's already been checked through.Copy !req
1180. I see.Copy !req
1181. Even though it's getting
very close to flight timeCopy !req
1182. I think we can locate the
rest of your luggage.Copy !req
1183. You could transfer some of the contents
in this one to a smaller one.Copy !req
1184. No. I'm sorry, that won't work at all.
Now look, uh, let me talk to your supervisor, huh?Copy !req
1185. All right.
I'll be very happy to call him.Copy !req
1186. Mr. Grimes!Copy !req
1187. Mr. Grimes? Could you
come down this way, please?Copy !req
1188. Good evening, sir.
What can we do for you?Copy !req
1189. Good evening. My wife and I
are going through to Boston.Copy !req
1190. The rest of our luggage has
already been checked through,Copy !req
1191. and I want to take this bag
with me in the cabin, please.Copy !req
1192. I'm afraid it exceeds the maximum cabin
size for flight requirements, sir.Copy !req
1193. Yes, it does look quite a bit too large
for the passenger compartment.Copy !req
1194. Sir, those are our flight regulations which
are designed for your comfort and safety.Copy !req
1195. - Well, I can't make the trip without it.
- You, uh, really can't, hmm?Copy !req
1196. Absolutely not.Copy !req
1197. Well, in that case, I think we can, uh...
How about it, Brown?Copy !req
1198. I know it's past cancellation time...Copy !req
1199. but under the circumstances I think
we might stretch a point, don't you?Copy !req
1200. We'll give you a full rebate
on your ticket, sir.Copy !req
1201. Wait a minute.
I... I don't want a rebate!Copy !req
1202. Well, sir, I... I don't know
what else to suggest.Copy !req
1203. It's very close to flight time.
There are other passengers waiting.Copy !req
1204. Perhaps the gentleman is worried
about the contents of the bag. Is that it?Copy !req
1205. - We'd be very happy to insure it.
- More than happy. We'd be delighted.Copy !req
1206. - No.
- If you could just give me its estimated value and tell me what's in it.Copy !req
1207. No, there's nothing in it. I mean, uh,
just personal items, things like that.Copy !req
1208. All right. All right.
Check it through.Copy !req
1209. Passengers may now board...
