1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,879
From Hollywood. It's timed off Red
mud O'Brien has Johnny Dolla, Mickey McQueen,

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,960
Ny, how are you, Mickey
All? I try to phone you

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,880
a couple of times, but I
never reached you. And I'm out about

4
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,160
and I heard about your promotion to
sergeant. Make a nice going. He

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,000
isn't good. They're taking my meat
away from me and putting me behind the

6
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:23,359
desk. I've got to talk to
a friend about it when you be home

7
00:00:23,399 --> 00:00:28,679
tonight. You really sound worried,
Mickey. Watch it. There'll be murdered

8
00:00:28,719 --> 00:00:31,879
before it's finished. My mind's made
up. I want to talk to you

9
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,719
about it. Sure, Mickey,
I'll be here anytime you want to come

10
00:00:34,799 --> 00:00:45,600
up edmtd'brien and a transcribed adventure of
the Man with the Action Packed Expense account

11
00:00:45,640 --> 00:01:00,439
America's Bad Buila's freelance insurance investigator,
Yours Truly, Johnny Dalla Expense accounts submitted

12
00:01:00,479 --> 00:01:06,120
by Special Investigator Johnny Dodalla to whom
it may concern, Hartford Police Headquarters,

13
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,599
Hertford, Connecticut. I don't expect
you to honor this statement, but since

14
00:01:10,599 --> 00:01:14,959
the reports to my regular employers go
in on these forms, the following is

15
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:19,519
an accounting of my expenditures during my
personal investigation of the Mickey McQueen back.

16
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,319
You may wonder how I got mixed
up in it. Well, it's been

17
00:01:25,359 --> 00:01:27,799
my privilege to have worked a number
of cases with Mickey McQueen here in Hartford,

18
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,040
and through the years a friendship developed
between us. So when he phoned

19
00:01:33,079 --> 00:01:34,920
Tuesday night say he wanted to talk
to me, I was glad to ask

20
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,920
him up. But when it got
to be one thirty in the morning and

21
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,799
he still hadn't arrived, I wasn't
so glad. He arrived at two.

22
00:01:48,319 --> 00:01:52,920
I'm sorry, I'm late, Johnny, Well help you up. I was

23
00:01:52,959 --> 00:01:57,280
about to drop off. I had
to say, Johnny, you're in uniform.

24
00:01:57,319 --> 00:01:59,959
McKey, what about your beat and
my beat? Wantless? Wait,

25
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,000
after twenty years of walking it from
dark to dawn, checking its doors,

26
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,960
and passing the time of night with
its people drunk and sober, too late

27
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,319
for drink, Mickey, I got
your brand some Irish. Yes, that

28
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:19,120
was good of it. I I've
been a good policeman, Johnny. I

29
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,639
can say that without sounding like I'm
stuck on myself, can't. I know,

30
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,919
I've never heard anybody else say anything
else. Making, and I've got

31
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:29,039
more friends to make credit than I
have arrests. I'll say that, but

32
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,280
I've got a quiet beat. I
think they're a quieter beats in town.

33
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:38,759
Maybe you're lucky he is to it
all right, but be careful what it

34
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:46,400
is. There's mercury being done and
planned right this minute, Johnny, and

35
00:02:46,439 --> 00:02:50,080
then that could stop it. Don't
have the heart right or wrong? What

36
00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:53,120
are you talking about? I know
what I'm talking about. Are you feeling

37
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,319
all right? Feeling all right and
as healthy as I was yesterday? And

38
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,960
I know I didn't see you yesterday. He had to take in my job,

39
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,599
putting me behind the desk, the
grating inn for a man that's been

40
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,240
active for twenty years. After twenty
years in your feet, you should take

41
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,560
a rest. You've earned one.
The very words of the commission chunning.

42
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:19,120
But Johnny yaid Mickey, never mind. The devil takes them all. I've

43
00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:21,240
used up enough a year time.
Wait a minute, you came over to

44
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,120
talk about something more than your new
job. What's this stuff about murder being

45
00:03:24,199 --> 00:03:27,879
planned and being done? I shouldn't
have said it. I wish you'd forget

46
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,520
it. What's the matter with you? You know me? Well enough to

47
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,520
tell me. You know me well
enough to know I'll keep any confidence you

48
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:38,680
want me to keep if you're a
good friend. Chunny. Maybe that's why

49
00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:40,240
I've changed my mind about telling you. And then why did you come over?

50
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,439
Because I thought I was going to
talk to you, but I'm not

51
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:50,520
now all right at job which you're
acting like a kid if you don't have

52
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,719
anything to say to me. It
is after two and I have a job

53
00:03:53,719 --> 00:03:57,879
in the morning. Tell right,
Johnny, I'm sorry. I brother you,

54
00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:10,560
you'll say good night. I didn't
sleep very well for the rest of

55
00:04:10,599 --> 00:04:14,960
the night, and sort of a
half dozed. Parts of Mickey's conversation kept

56
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,959
coming back to me, and the
more sleep I lost over it, the

57
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:21,399
more I wished I had been less
grumpy and more sympathetic. There wasn't a

58
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,680
job for me the next day,
and right afternoon I decided to pop by

59
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:34,040
his apartment and find out his mood. When he was off duty. Mickey's

60
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:39,040
apartment occupied the ground floor of a
narrow, gray rowhouse not far from mind.

61
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,720
I was a narrow woman crying Somewhere
inside. I smelled domestic trouble,

62
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:54,120
but I pushed the buzzer anyway,
thought you. I'm Johnny Dollar, a

63
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,959
friend of mister McQueen's. Oh,
yeah, Johnny dollars. He said to

64
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:04,800
phone you if I ever needed se
in there. She pointed in the direction

65
00:05:04,879 --> 00:05:09,480
of a door smaller than the outside
door, the door to either a bathroom

66
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:16,920
or a closet. It was a
closet. The clothes were bunched at one

67
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,600
end of the rod and from the
other. Still in uniform, his own

68
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:30,160
polished leather belt drawn tightly around his
neck, hung Mickey McQueen. I walked

69
00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:33,439
back into the lace curtained living room. The woman who had let me in

70
00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:38,800
was in the middle thirties. She
wore too much makeup, and her white

71
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,240
blonde hair was anything but natural.
She had stopped crying, and she acted

72
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,639
as if she were waiting for me
to start something. Well, what about

73
00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:49,959
it? You explain yourself? Or
do I get three guesses? Never mind

74
00:05:49,959 --> 00:05:54,839
that, look, I only live
here. Oh I didn't know Mickey had

75
00:05:54,879 --> 00:05:59,120
a wife. Oh maybe he was
ashamed of me. My name's Filma.

76
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,079
I'm sorry, Emma. You're an
old friend of Mickey's. Yeah, but

77
00:06:03,079 --> 00:06:06,879
he never told me about you.
Had you seen him lately? Yeah?

78
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,560
Last night? First he phoned me, then he came by to talk to

79
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,519
me. What did he say?
I'm not sure. He was pretty handy

80
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,160
with double talk. Maybe I was
supposed to understand it, but I didn't.

81
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:23,800
What was it about got his job
change he was making, and something

82
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,839
about murders being planned and done and
nobody doing anything to stop them. And

83
00:06:27,959 --> 00:06:31,959
he didn't tell you what? But
I was leaving him. He's never mentioned

84
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,800
you. Why were you leaving him? Well, because it was all wrong.

85
00:06:36,399 --> 00:06:39,680
I never should have married him in
the first place. Oh, I

86
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:43,560
did you because he was the kindest, most wonderful man and ever lived.

87
00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:49,160
Does that answer your question? Not
quite? Is that more? Did you

88
00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:54,279
know his first wife? Yeah,
well then I guess you know. He

89
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:59,240
took her death pretty hot. He'd
been married ten years. I met him

90
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,759
after she died. He was lonely
and so was I. Oh, he

91
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:08,639
was pretty wonderful to me. I
thought I could help him. It wasn't

92
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,480
because of him I was leaving.
It was me. But I never thought

93
00:07:12,519 --> 00:07:17,279
he'd do this. I don't think
he did. What do you mean I

94
00:07:17,279 --> 00:07:23,920
think he was murdered? Why when
did you find him? Oh? I

95
00:07:24,079 --> 00:07:27,160
came home about a half hour before
you got here. I found the police

96
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,399
not yet. I didn't know what
to do. Where'd you ben? I

97
00:07:30,519 --> 00:07:33,399
doodya? I was leaving him.
I've been living in a hotel. Does

98
00:07:33,439 --> 00:07:36,800
it matter? Why'd you come back
just to get some things I'd live?

99
00:07:38,879 --> 00:07:42,319
Why he asked me these things?
Oh, it's murdered. There's bound to

100
00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:46,360
be a lot of questions. I
don't think it was. Everybody loved him,

101
00:07:46,439 --> 00:07:49,600
He didn't have an enemy in the
world. Why would anybody want to

102
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:57,279
kill a man like? Make him
a queen. The rest of the day

103
00:07:57,319 --> 00:07:59,959
I tried to talk myself into leaving
the matter in the hands of the police

104
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,079
where it belonged, but I couldn't
do it. That night, I started

105
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,519
making the rounds at Mickey's beat.
I talked to a corner magazine vender who

106
00:08:07,519 --> 00:08:11,319
had sold him a mystery, a
woman and a cigar store who had talked

107
00:08:11,319 --> 00:08:16,240
with him, and a cabby who
had borrowed five bucks from him. None

108
00:08:16,279 --> 00:08:20,439
of them gave me anything helpful.
My next stop was the Cedric Hotel,

109
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,839
where I looked up the house detective
Ned Martin. Oh, poor old Mickey,

110
00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:28,360
I'll miss him, so will I
Did you see him last night?

111
00:08:28,759 --> 00:08:31,840
Yeah? He dropped in. He
always did once or twice a night just

112
00:08:31,879 --> 00:08:35,759
to shoot the breeze. You know
why'd he do it? Did he leave

113
00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:41,279
a noteer in it? I think
he was murdered? What makes you say

114
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,960
that? Came over to see me
about two thirty this morning, there was

115
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,360
something on his mind. Wanted to
talk about it, but he wouldn't.

116
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,080
That figures. What do you mean? I noticed something about him last night?

117
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,320
He was below I asked him what
was the matter? He said it

118
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,399
was because it was his last night
and his beat. He was supposed to

119
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,679
check in it new job today.
But that didn't sound right to me.

120
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,279
Do you know I had a wife? Yeah, I heard about it,

121
00:09:05,639 --> 00:09:09,120
and I hounded him will He showed
me a picture of it bleatsplund and she

122
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,840
looks at it. I didn't want
to embarrass him by asking that I wanted

123
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,440
about her. What makes you think
it was murdered? Don do you think

124
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,080
Mickey was the type to kill himself? Well? No, but how can

125
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,360
you tell? I guess you can't. All you can do is try to

126
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,559
find out. Well, if you
don't have anything more, I'll be on

127
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,279
my way. Oh wait a minute, huh. I guess it was a

128
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,480
dirty trick, and I wish I
hadn't done it, but I snooped that

129
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,759
marriage. I found out who she
was. Her name was Thelma Weaver.

130
00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:43,799
She did a couple of years at
Jelliot. But did you get that things

131
00:09:43,879 --> 00:09:48,039
like that don't stay hidden. I
drop it. If I were you,

132
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,720
I really would. Why are you
hold at me your own? Good Johnny,

133
00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:54,519
I'll shake it out of you if
I have to. Okay, Hero,

134
00:09:56,279 --> 00:10:00,080
you know Fred Cool the Calcutta Club
over in bartlet I know I've and

135
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,759
he's a police informer. Isn't he
a part time If he won't take my

136
00:10:03,799 --> 00:10:07,240
advice and forget it, go talk
to him and don't tell him who sent

137
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:18,200
you. What do you want?
I want to talk to you about Mickey

138
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,080
McQueen. Do you have an office
you're a cop, tol only a private

139
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,440
one. I was a friend of
Mickey's. Oh sure, Ry, Yeah,

140
00:10:26,879 --> 00:10:28,440
I'm in my office for a little
while. If there's any trouble,

141
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:39,639
buzz me, Robert, come on
this way. I got quite a crowd

142
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,360
tonight, Fred, Sure. Sometimes
I get a lot of out of town

143
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,399
trade. Did you see Mickey last
night? No? I didn't. I

144
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,559
get along fine with Mickey. He
won't take any payoff, but he don't

145
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,720
push me around. How is he
You know his wife? His why?

146
00:10:52,159 --> 00:10:54,360
I didn't even know he was married. Her name was Thelma Weaver. Before

147
00:10:54,399 --> 00:10:58,600
Mickey married, she did some time
in Jolliet. Why do you bother me

148
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,679
with this? I got work to
do. You knew Mickey was dead?

149
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,639
No, I didn't know that.
I don't see how it would be enough.

150
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,200
But it struck me that if somebody
knew he was married to an ex

151
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,720
khan, they might try to use
the information. I suppose you're right,

152
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,960
yeah, right, Fred, I
think you'd better come out and parton.

153
00:11:16,279 --> 00:11:20,039
Yes, I think soon be right
out. Pardon me, dollar, little

154
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:28,759
trouble outside wait here, I'll come
right back, all right. I waited,

155
00:11:30,159 --> 00:11:33,080
and while I did, I took
a quick look around the office for

156
00:11:33,159 --> 00:11:35,759
another way out in case I might
need it. There wasn't any unless the

157
00:11:35,799 --> 00:11:39,240
steel door in one of the walls. Was it? But before I could

158
00:11:39,279 --> 00:11:43,720
try it, the other door opening. I wasn't expecting Fred Coo to return

159
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:48,240
so quickly and a night I was
I expecting. Who did come in?

160
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,679
I uh didn't expect to find Juli
and mister Dolla. Likewise, Missus McQueen.

161
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,559
I was looking for mister Coole.
What for hh? I thought I

162
00:11:56,639 --> 00:12:01,159
might help if I could. Mickey
kept notebook, see where he wrote down

163
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,480
all the places he stopped when he
made his rounds. This place was one

164
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,240
of them. I thought, if
I could talk to this mister cool.

165
00:12:07,279 --> 00:12:11,960
Did you know fred Kooh, I
know you know anybody named Weaver Fellma Weaver.

166
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,159
All right, mister, that's enough. Reach, don't be crazy?

167
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,679
What good were that? Though?
Here we are. We'll try anything.

168
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,679
I really mean it. She looked
like she really meant it. It was

169
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,600
a small revolver or cold twenty five. I didn't know whether she had come

170
00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:31,000
in meaning to use it on Fretz
Coo or me, but it didn't make

171
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:37,559
much difference. At the moment she
had it pointed at my midsection. I

172
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,039
couldn't figure her. She held a
little revolver as if she was used to

173
00:12:41,039 --> 00:12:45,279
the feel of it, for there
had been something actressy about the way she

174
00:12:45,279 --> 00:12:48,080
said Reach. I couldn't figure her, but I decided not to take a

175
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,600
chance. I grabbed up the inkwell
from the desk and threw not it but

176
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,320
the contents at her. Hey,
okay, drop it, drop it,

177
00:12:56,159 --> 00:13:01,039
drop it, I said, all
right, what do you want it?

178
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,519
Depends on what you want. I
told you I want to find out who

179
00:13:05,639 --> 00:13:09,279
killed Mickey at the apartment earlier today, you didn't think anybody had What about

180
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,559
it? All right, Johnny?
How much do you know that your name

181
00:13:13,639 --> 00:13:16,039
was? Tell my Weaver that you
spent two years in joy Y. That's

182
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,960
right, that's right. And after
two years in that place, I didn't

183
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,639
want to go back to the life
and start all over again. I gave

184
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,840
the bunch of Chicago to slip and
came here. I was hanging around,

185
00:13:24,919 --> 00:13:26,399
trying to pick up enough to pay
my way to Flowerda or someplace. And

186
00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:33,799
that's how I met Mickey. He
arrested me vagrancy. What a laugh he

187
00:13:33,879 --> 00:13:37,120
showed and caught the next morning and
got me released in his custody. Oh,

188
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,879
he treated me like a daughter.
He'll loan me some money, offered

189
00:13:41,919 --> 00:13:45,360
to get me a job. And
I really felt for the first time like

190
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,440
I could start life all over again. Who I know, it sounds corny,

191
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:54,200
but but good. You make it
sound real good. You don't believe

192
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,600
me, do you? Sure?
I believe you as far as you've gone.

193
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,159
I even believe that part about start
a new life. You saw that

194
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,879
Mickey had a heart as big as
the city, and you didn't lose any

195
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:09,200
time moving into it. That was
smart. It was about the safest hiding

196
00:14:09,279 --> 00:14:11,799
place you could have found for you, but not for Mickey. How did

197
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:16,919
I know about Fred Kooh? Somebody
spotted me and told him, and he

198
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,320
didn't waste any time. Get in
touch with Chicago. Those men out there,

199
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,759
they off from Chicago, well most
of them. Did you spot the

200
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,600
tall one. He talks with an
English accent, And I remember him,

201
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:31,440
Roy, that's him. He came
first. He checked the possibilities on Mickey's

202
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,559
being. Then he found out about
Mickey being moved over to a new job.

203
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,879
Where was he being moved some desk
job? Where at the police?

204
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,960
Arsenal? Y Arsenal? How did
Roy find that out? I told him

205
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:48,600
I had some He made me tell
him. What are Roy's plans? Do

206
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,000
you know? Yeah? The Markup
building, the one that has all the

207
00:14:52,039 --> 00:14:58,000
wholesale Jews. Nah, that's no
good. Mickey was supposed to help them

208
00:14:58,039 --> 00:15:00,519
with a job of that size,
or they'd reveal it he is married to

209
00:15:00,559 --> 00:15:03,440
an ex khan. That it's not
enough. They must have more than that

210
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:09,360
on you were him right, might
as well tell you can't hurt you now

211
00:15:09,399 --> 00:15:13,320
anymore than I've been hurting. His
name is the Weaver. I'm married to

212
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:18,639
him. He threatened to bring biggermy
charges and less Mickey helped him. That

213
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,519
would do it, but you're a
record. Bigger may would be a long

214
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:26,320
stretch. Yeah, five years.
Mickey would do almost anything rather than cause

215
00:15:26,399 --> 00:15:31,840
me to Who killed him? Roy
did? I didn't there? I swear

216
00:15:31,919 --> 00:15:33,919
I wasn't. But they met him
after he got through work at five thirty

217
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,799
this morning. Why did they kill
him? Mickey was all ready for his

218
00:15:37,879 --> 00:15:41,080
new job, and he had the
keys to the arsenal. Is your gun

219
00:15:43,559 --> 00:15:46,000
if you're on the lovely may need
it? And the caliber is too small

220
00:15:46,039 --> 00:15:46,639
to do me? And he goes, what are you gonna do? I'm

221
00:15:46,639 --> 00:15:50,200
going to the police. Why don't
choose the phone? We'll be tapped and

222
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,799
it would take too long to explain
it. A bunch of being here before

223
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,360
I got started. I wouldn't tried
it if I were you. Oh,

224
00:15:56,519 --> 00:16:03,600
I where are you going? Dollar? I'm going home. I was waiting

225
00:16:03,639 --> 00:16:07,240
for Fred Cole, but I guess
he decided not to bother. Fred had

226
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:12,320
believed did missus Weaver entertain you with
her sordid story. Yeah, it was

227
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:17,519
very pleasant, the charming girl.
You were going home to think about it?

228
00:16:17,799 --> 00:16:19,960
Well, if you don't mind,
get out of my way, Paul,

229
00:16:22,679 --> 00:16:26,799
I'm afraid I do mine. I
couldn't chance having Fred interrupted at the

230
00:16:26,919 --> 00:16:30,080
arsenal. Get out of my ware? What are you going? Come on?

231
00:16:30,399 --> 00:16:36,639
Come on, that's fine, Carl. Now shall we go back to

232
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:41,360
the office and wait? Bring him
along, Carl? So pity who became

233
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:47,480
involved in this dollar. I'd hope
there wouldn't have to be any more violence.

234
00:16:49,039 --> 00:16:52,720
You did him? Yes, thanks
for the buzz, darling. Oh

235
00:16:52,759 --> 00:16:57,000
it was a pleasure. Look what
the sculp did to my dress? Did

236
00:16:57,039 --> 00:17:00,159
Fred get started? All? He's
well on his way to be back within

237
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,919
the hour. And mister Weaver,
what do we do with this guy?

238
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,279
Keep him out of the way,
Put him in there and see that he

239
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:23,559
stays quiet? Cool? How you
turn around? At least I found out

240
00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:29,319
what was behind the steel door I've
noticed earlier and leavening. When my eyes

241
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:33,279
open and I got accustomed to the
light from a single dust covered bulb,

242
00:17:33,039 --> 00:17:37,960
I realized that I was in a
sort of wine cellar. There some bottles,

243
00:17:37,039 --> 00:17:40,759
but most of the storage place was
taken up by a lodge and buried

244
00:17:40,759 --> 00:17:45,039
assortment of burglars tools. There were
a few weapons too, but I knew

245
00:17:45,079 --> 00:17:48,079
they were nothing compared to what Fred
would bring back at the rate on the

246
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:53,720
arsenal was successful. I glanced at
my watch at eleven fifteen, and right

247
00:17:53,759 --> 00:17:59,440
after that heard the heavy latch on
the door being turned. I got back

248
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:07,799
into my pin on the floor,
close my eyes and listen. Don't forget

249
00:18:07,839 --> 00:18:10,839
the bars cars, you'll need them
for the inside doors. I gotcha,

250
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,920
Adventure, you take keys, I'll
bring the rest. You want a gungs

251
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:18,039
and then we won't need them.
We want need them. Crocker, Yeah,

252
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,920
listen closely. Now we're behind schedule. Both cars are and back in

253
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,039
the buick. You'll find the things
from the arsenal. Yeah, I want

254
00:18:25,079 --> 00:18:27,160
you to move half of them over
into the Cadillac. What about the grenades,

255
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:32,599
Boy, they're in the case.
Mark cn DM Irritant gas six.

256
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,640
Opened the case and put half in
the buick. The most important is the

257
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,279
cord had powdered for the vaults.
There are two boxes. Put one in

258
00:18:40,319 --> 00:18:42,440
the trunk of each car. Right, be careful, very touchy stuff.

259
00:18:42,519 --> 00:18:45,839
Yeah, I know I've heard it
before, all right, get along in

260
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,599
and hurry now. Fred will be
in charge of one car. I'll be

261
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,319
in the other. Well agreed that
we will meet at the north entrance at

262
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,559
quarter past midnight. Built to approach
the building from the east and Lincoln.

263
00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:00,319
You will have dropped two men to
guard the south entrance to a My men

264
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,759
will subdue the north better. They'll
spring you along in a big hurry.

265
00:19:03,839 --> 00:19:07,680
You can trust me. They'll use
Thompson's dumber. Where are you going?

266
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,880
You'll be snoopy. You're coming with
us? Oh, if you want me

267
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,720
to. I don't need you,
but I don't think I should feel safe

268
00:19:15,799 --> 00:19:19,200
without you with me. Don't be
loving. I think everything is ready from

269
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,200
me here me good, Go to
the cars. Then, Carl, what

270
00:19:22,319 --> 00:19:26,759
about the shamers? Did oh lock
it up again? We will decide what

271
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,319
to do when we come back.
Guess he can't cause no harm in them.

272
00:19:41,319 --> 00:19:42,960
I tried to force the door that
time, using one of the bars

273
00:19:44,039 --> 00:19:47,960
they left behind, but I couldn't
do anything with it. Then I started

274
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,960
cooking the cement walls. I knew
better than to expect to find any other

275
00:19:52,039 --> 00:19:55,240
exit. But with the biggest burglary
and the history of heart but underway,

276
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,359
I had to do something. I
kept a check on the time, and

277
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,880
there was twenty minutes before they were
due to arrive at the Marcott Building when

278
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:07,119
a sound stopped me. The steel
door was being opened. I moved behind

279
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:15,519
it, still holding my bar Dalla
dollard. It's ned Mark m be in

280
00:20:15,599 --> 00:20:21,079
here, Yeah, might be I'm
here? How did you know I was

281
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:22,720
here? Some dame told the hotel
She told me you were here. What

282
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,440
happened? Why should she call you? How should I know? I don't

283
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,400
even know who it was? Just
said she knew you came to the hotel,

284
00:20:30,519 --> 00:20:33,119
that you were locked up in here. I mentioned the cow cut her

285
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:34,039
to you. So I came over
to see what it was all about it?

286
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:37,319
And what's the matter. Don't you
believe me? I don't know what

287
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,720
to believe. You said you were
holding something out on me. When I

288
00:20:40,839 --> 00:20:44,240
talked to you, I was.
I knew Fred Coo was selling the information

289
00:20:44,279 --> 00:20:47,559
about Mickey's wife. There's some guns
from Chicago. I knew I could have

290
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:48,599
led to trouble. Why didn't you
tell me? You said it was for

291
00:20:48,759 --> 00:20:52,440
my own good? I thought it
was mine too. I didn't want you

292
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,599
to know so much. You'd have
to tell where you learned it to prove

293
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,400
how smart you were. I don't
like this kind of stuff. You got

294
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,519
a car, yeah, but it
stays right where it's parked. Did you

295
00:21:02,559 --> 00:21:06,119
tell me what's going on? The
Chicago bunch raided the police arsenal. They're

296
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,799
armed with everything from cordite to Tommy
guns. They're going into the Marcott Building

297
00:21:08,799 --> 00:21:12,119
in less than twenty minutes. What's
that wholesale jewelers? Would you take me

298
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,920
out there? I'll take your part
way. If you're crazy enough to want

299
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:23,440
to go, that's good enough.
Let's get into the office. It's dead.

300
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,200
Who'd you want the police? Yeah, we could stop on the way.

301
00:21:27,279 --> 00:21:30,160
It'll take us fifteen minutes to get
to the Marcott building. We run

302
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,559
into a patrol car and the way, we'll stop it. If we don't,

303
00:21:33,599 --> 00:21:42,319
you can drop me and then phone
in where's your car? At the

304
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,400
speed we traveled, we should have
at least picked up a traffic top.

305
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,079
If we didn't, Martin wouldn't take
me any closer than the corner of Atlantic

306
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:53,279
and Milton, and we stare at
twelve minutes after twelve. It gave me

307
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,920
two minutes to get to the Marcott
Building. I didn't make it before they

308
00:21:57,079 --> 00:22:04,160
arrived, but it didn't make any
differ. Both concerts pulled up and were

309
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,880
unloading man from a doorway. About
fifty yards down. I spotted Fred Cooh

310
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:14,160
and Roy Weaver. Then I saw
Filman. She got out of the buick

311
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,839
and started toward me. Where are
you going? WEAVERA shouted at her,

312
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,599
but she didn't answer. Instead,
she stopped, and I saw the little

313
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,640
gun glitter in her hand as she
turned back to them. Then I saw

314
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,240
what she was aiming, at the
trunk of the buer, where the cord

315
00:22:30,279 --> 00:22:38,920
i powder was powered up in a
blast of powder and gasoline. And she

316
00:22:40,039 --> 00:23:04,839
moved back toward the other and that
was it. Telma Weava McQueen, as

317
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:10,599
the department knows, was Joey at
emergency hospital. None of them I've got

318
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,759
out of line, except Roy Weaver, who lived long enough to sign a

319
00:23:12,799 --> 00:23:18,599
confession to make McQueen's murder. I
want you to know that I may have

320
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,799
lost a good friend, but you
have lost a better policeman. I hope

321
00:23:22,799 --> 00:23:27,359
to see those early news accounts that
call them a suicide. Corrected expense account

322
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:47,240
total no dollars and no cents.
