00:01:31Come in.
00:01:34Dr. Sloan?
00:01:36Yes?
00:01:37I'm sorry to disturb you, sir, but it's urgent.
00:01:40What's wrong?
00:01:42There's a sick man in drawing room B, and his wife's half out of her mind. I wonder if you'd take a look at him, sir.
00:01:47What does he complain of?
00:01:49I don't know, sir, but he sure sounds bad, and I'd appreciate it if you'd...
00:01:53All right, I'll be with you in a minute.
00:01:56You are a medical doctor, aren't you, sir?
00:01:58I'm afraid so. There are times when I wish I were a veterinarian.
00:02:17Well, doctor, what is it?
00:02:20He'll be all right.
00:02:22Can I go to him now?
00:02:26Yes, maybe you'd better stay with him. I'll be right back and give him something to relieve the pain.
00:02:36Is it serious, doctor?
00:02:38Symptoms point to polio.
00:02:40Polio?
00:02:41Unless we work fast, we may be in for a lot of complications.
00:02:44But what can we do?
00:02:46We must get him to a hospital as soon as possible. What's the next stop?
00:02:49Phoenix, sir, 4 a.m.
00:02:52Three and a half hours. It's too far, too late.
00:02:56Now, I can't take that much of a chance.
00:02:59Well, sir, I don't...
00:03:01Wait a minute. We go through Winston, don't we?
00:03:04Yes, sir.
00:03:05When?
00:03:06In about an hour, but we don't stop there.
00:03:08Well, we will tonight.
00:03:10There's a hospital in Winston, small but well-equipped.
00:03:14All right, now here's what has to be done.
00:03:17Identify the engineer and then wire ahead to the stationmaster at Winston to have an ambulance meet the train.
00:03:21We've got to work fast.
00:03:23Above all, stay calm. Keep this to ourselves.
00:03:26Is it contagious, sir?
00:03:28Yes, this car will have to be quarantined until I get him off at Winston.
00:03:31And then you must seal up the compartment.
00:03:33No one need know anything about it.
00:03:35What cars are ahead of this one?
00:03:37The baggage car.
00:03:38Well, that simplifies things.
00:03:40Porter, I...
00:03:41I want you to stay in the car behind this
00:03:43and make absolutely sure that no one enters or leaves this one.
00:03:46Is that clear?
00:03:47Yes, sir.
00:03:48Get on it right away.
00:03:51We're getting close to Desert Junction.
00:03:53I better get that wire ready for the dispatcher.
00:03:55There's one more thing.
00:03:56I'm going to need a hypodermic and some drugs from my suitcase.
00:03:59It's been checked through.
00:04:00You'll have to let me into the baggage car first.
00:04:02Of course. Follow me.
00:04:12Hiya, Bill. What's up?
00:04:14This is Dr. Sloan.
00:04:15A passenger took sick suddenly.
00:04:17He needs some medicine from his suitcase, okay?
00:04:32This gentleman's a doctor, Eddie.
00:04:34Yeah?
00:04:35There's a guy sick in the back.
00:04:37Get the doc's bag and make it snappy.
00:04:39You got a baggage check?
00:04:40Oh, yes.
00:04:41Yes.
00:04:43Here it is.
00:04:48This guy bad off?
00:04:49He'll be all right.
00:04:51Yeah?
00:04:52What's wrong with him?
00:04:53I'm not sure.
00:04:56Sometimes he eats too much.
00:04:58When the train rolls at night...
00:05:01Hurry up, will you, Eddie?
00:05:02Okay, okay.
00:05:03Put it right up here, please.
00:05:05Take it easy. There's glasses.
00:05:07Is that okay?
00:05:08Yes, thank you. That's fine.
00:05:19Is that what you need, doc?
00:05:23Put up your hands, please.
00:05:26Up!
00:05:37Unbuckle your gun belt.
00:05:41Drop it!
00:05:45Now move over to the door.
00:05:48Lay on the floor, face down. Hurry up!
00:05:55Put your hands behind your back.
00:06:07Shut up!
00:06:28What the...
00:06:29Shut up!
00:06:30Easy, Eddie. He's got a gun.
00:06:32Quiet.
00:06:38Come on.
00:06:49He's there.
00:06:52Come on.
00:06:53Quiet.
00:07:07Quiet.
00:07:37Quiet.
00:08:07Quiet.
00:08:37Come on.
00:09:07Come on.
00:09:38Come on.
00:09:55What are you trying to do, smother me?
00:09:57I'm sorry, darling.
00:09:59I thought it would help you sleep.
00:10:01I'm too excited.
00:10:03Yeah, me too.
00:10:05What time is it?
00:10:07You don't have to whisper.
00:10:10I always whisper in the dark.
00:10:12Is it time to get up?
00:10:13No, it's too early.
00:10:15Go back to bed.
00:10:16Oh, I'll sleep on the plane.
00:10:19Do you realize, Mr. Noman, by this time tomorrow we'll be in Mexico City?
00:10:23Mexico City.
00:10:25I know how you feel.
00:10:27Oh, it'll be wonderful.
00:10:29Mexico City, Taxco, Puebla.
00:10:32Sash...
00:10:34Sash...
00:10:35Sashimilco.
00:10:37Okay.
00:10:38So you pronounce it better than I do.
00:10:40Easy, Sashimilco.
00:10:43That's where the streets are paved with flowers.
00:10:47And they use boats for taxis.
00:10:52You know that Mexican song you brought home yesterday?
00:10:54I can't get it out of my mind.
00:10:57Salud Felicidad Amor.
00:11:00It means health, happiness and love.
00:11:01If you got those and money, you're not entitled to gripe.
00:11:04We have them, darling.
00:11:06Yep.
00:11:07But not in the right proportions.
00:11:10If we're lacking money, I'll make up in the law department.
00:11:19Hello, Norman speaking.
00:11:22What?
00:11:24In 15 minutes, but...
00:11:28Who was it?
00:11:29Hendricks.
00:11:30Hendricks?
00:11:33He'll be over in 15 minutes.
00:11:34Why, what's happened?
00:11:35I don't know, but it's not a social call.
00:11:37Well, didn't he tell you?
00:11:38No, he didn't say.
00:11:39Well, he must have told you something.
00:11:40He didn't tell me anything.
00:11:41We'll know when he gets here.
00:11:46Until they reached Phoenix at 4 a.m.,
00:11:48they didn't even know anything was wrong.
00:11:49They couldn't get in the baggage car.
00:11:50They had to bust their way in.
00:11:52Some more coffee, Mr. Hendricks?
00:11:53Oh, thanks. Don't mind if I do.
00:11:55That's when they found him, unconscious.
00:11:57The safe blown wide open.
00:11:59How much did they get, Sam?
00:12:00Everything but the silver.
00:12:01A half a million.
00:12:03$500,000 in small notes.
00:12:06Well, I guess that about covers it.
00:12:07Let's get out of the airport.
00:12:08Now, wait a minute.
00:12:09You've ruined my vacation.
00:12:10At least let me finish my coffee.
00:12:12I'm sorry about this.
00:12:14We did count on this vacation.
00:12:16Charlie's been tired lately and edgy.
00:12:18I know, I know.
00:12:19I upset all your plans.
00:12:21But this calls for top handling.
00:12:23What about Jackson?
00:12:24Not enough experience.
00:12:26Nadia?
00:12:27Jerry Klein?
00:12:28Rogers?
00:12:29For phony accident claims,
00:12:30routine investigation, yes.
00:12:31But for this?
00:12:33I guess I'm it.
00:12:34Now, look, Charlie.
00:12:35This is our biggest policy.
00:12:36We're out on a limb for half a million.
00:12:38You retrieve it,
00:12:39and maybe the company will buy your Mexican holiday.
00:12:43Who's coming for the railroad?
00:12:45Joe Armstrong.
00:12:46He's going on ahead to Phoenix.
00:12:47He's a friend of yours, isn't he?
00:12:48He usually has Sunday dinner with us.
00:12:50Every once in a while,
00:12:51we run after the same fires.
00:12:53Good.
00:12:54And you work as a team.
00:12:55Come on, come on.
00:12:56We're late.
00:12:57I'll be right with you.
00:13:02Baby, I'm sorry I blew up at you.
00:13:04I know how much the vacation meant to you.
00:13:06To me, too.
00:13:07It's only postponed.
00:13:09We'll get there.
00:13:11Sure we will.
00:13:13Take care.
00:13:25Yeah, I'll check it out.
00:13:28Yeah, I'll check it.
00:13:36Still at it, Joe.
00:13:37Can't you remember anything?
00:13:39Once you're right down, you can see.
00:13:41Once you see, you can remember.
00:13:43How are you, Charlie?
00:13:44Okay.
00:13:45A little sleepy.
00:13:47You'll wake up.
00:13:49Yeah.
00:13:50If I save the company half a million bucks,
00:13:51I get a week in Mexico on the house.
00:13:54You're lucky.
00:13:55All I get is polish from a badge.
00:13:57How's Ruth?
00:13:58She's okay.
00:14:04Hi, Charlie.
00:14:05Hello, Pete.
00:14:06Your baby?
00:14:07Yep.
00:14:08How do you like the look of it?
00:14:09It is how we found it.
00:14:11Neat job.
00:14:13Yeah.
00:14:14Technique and precision.
00:14:15Real pro.
00:14:16Blew her open like a penny balloon.
00:14:18Liquid nitro?
00:14:19No.
00:14:20What did they use?
00:14:21Shape charge?
00:14:22Yeah.
00:14:23That's a new one.
00:14:24Shape charge.
00:14:25The stuff the Army's been fooling around with.
00:14:26That's it.
00:14:27Well, how's it work?
00:14:29Well, in simple terms,
00:14:30it's an explosive molded into the shape of a cone
00:14:32so that the force of the explosion is directed.
00:14:35Like a blowtorch.
00:14:36Oh, I get it.
00:14:38In other words,
00:14:39they just blew out that hinge in the lock, eh?
00:14:41But, uh, how'd they set it off?
00:14:43Well, either an electric battery or a detonator.
00:14:46We found pieces of wire.
00:14:48What's this?
00:14:50Muffler, probably.
00:14:51It's just a bed pad.
00:14:52We'll know more when we get it down to the lab.
00:14:54Uh-huh.
00:14:58Yeah, that's where they found them.
00:15:00End of the world.
00:15:01We're ready to go with the witnesses.
00:15:03You want to question them now?
00:15:05Oh, sure.
00:15:06Where are they?
00:15:07In the other car.
00:15:08Okay, Charlie.
00:15:09Let's go.
00:15:12Well, I knew he was a doctor on account of the telegram.
00:15:16Well, I...
00:15:17I guess he just looked like...
00:15:19anybody.
00:15:20Anybody.
00:15:21You know,
00:15:23kind of, uh,
00:15:25average.
00:15:26It was just like a sting,
00:15:29all of a sudden, here.
00:15:31We had a baggage check.
00:15:33I found a suitcase right away.
00:15:35Yes, sir, I am positive she was a blonde.
00:15:37A blonde.
00:15:41That tells us a lot.
00:15:51Anything?
00:15:52No.
00:15:53Nothing.
00:15:54No prints, nothing.
00:15:58Brand-new bed pad, never been washed.
00:16:00You can buy those in any store.
00:16:01Wires?
00:16:02Just wires.
00:16:03Dime store stuff.
00:16:04Everything wiped clean.
00:16:06Well, they don't seem to have overlooked a thing.
00:16:08There's got to be something.
00:16:09There always is.
00:16:10Sure.
00:16:11You know where to look for it.
00:16:13Winston, let's check on that ambulance.
00:16:21The ambulance men were playing cards, you know,
00:16:23just killing time.
00:16:24About 12.30, these two guys come in armed.
00:16:27Mm-hmm.
00:16:28They worked fast and quiet,
00:16:30up with your hands and turned to the wall.
00:16:32Didn't they conk some on the head?
00:16:34Uh, Petey, send Bill out to get some cold lemonade,
00:16:36will you?
00:16:37Yes, sir.
00:16:38I'll be right back.
00:16:39I'll be right back.
00:16:40I'll be right back.
00:16:41I'll be right back.
00:16:42I'll be right back.
00:16:43I'll be right back.
00:16:44I'll be right back.
00:16:45I'll be right back.
00:16:46I'll be right back.
00:16:47I'll be right back.
00:16:48I'll be right back.
00:16:49Get some cold lemonade will you?
00:16:50Right, Jack.
00:16:52Like a well-rehearsed group of actors,
00:16:53they thought of everything.
00:16:54No chance of a slip-up.
00:16:57The wire came, they had the ambulance,
00:16:58and they were ready.
00:16:59Wasn't that a long shot?
00:17:01Couldn't the stationmaster have called
00:17:02direction to the hospital for an ambulance?
00:17:05It wouldn't have made any difference, Joe.
00:17:08I checked.
00:17:09There wasn't another ambulance
00:17:10within 65 miles of here.
00:17:11Yeah.
00:17:13Someone masterminded this pretty carefully.
00:17:16They chased this town inside an odd.
00:17:19Maybe we can get a lead that way.
00:17:21I doubt it.
00:17:23There are too many tourists in Winston this time of the year.
00:17:25They all ask questions.
00:17:27A couple more nosing around wouldn't cause much of a stir.
00:17:30How about the missing ambulance?
00:17:32Not so much as a nibble so far.
00:17:34Every department in the state is looking for it.
00:17:36They've got roadblocks, posse's.
00:17:38Even got a helicopter from Phoenix.
00:17:41They wouldn't get very far with an ambulance on the main highway.
00:17:45That's right, they couldn't.
00:17:48That's what I told them.
00:17:50I said they wouldn't go far in that ambulance.
00:17:52They'd ditch it and ditch it close.
00:17:54I'll bet it's not far from town.
00:17:56It'll show up.
00:17:57It better.
00:17:59There isn't much else we can do until it does.
00:18:01There sure is.
00:18:03What?
00:18:04We can eat.
00:18:07See you, Jack.
00:18:08So long.
00:18:18What's the matter with you?
00:18:20Nerves, I guess.
00:18:22Take it easy, kid.
00:18:24We haven't even started yet.
00:18:26Men.
00:18:29Been in this hole for hours and haven't figured an escape hatch yet.
00:18:32Here's something to occupy your mind.
00:18:34Listen to this.
00:18:36Porter delivers wire to compartment B, 9.50 p.m.
00:18:39Woman calls conductor, 12.30 a.m.
00:18:41Wire dispatched to Winston, 12.55 a.m.
00:18:45In Winston, 12.30 a.m.
00:18:47Ambulance men knocked out.
00:18:49Sometime between 12.30 a.m. and 1.30, robbery occurs.
00:18:53Train pulls into Winston, 1.40.
00:18:55Ambulance waiting.
00:18:571.50 a.m., ambulance drives off.
00:18:59It's open.
00:19:00Train pulls out.
00:19:02Reads like a freight dispatcher's timetable.
00:19:05Everything in place.
00:19:07No loose ends.
00:19:08No leads.
00:19:09So far.
00:19:11Sounds like the beginning of a perfect crime.
00:19:13Must have been something to watch.
00:19:15Save your admiration, Charlie.
00:19:17I've been a cop for a long time.
00:19:19I've seen some good jobs and bad jobs.
00:19:21But I've never seen a perfect one.
00:19:24Well, it's always a first-time job.
00:19:25No, no, there's no such thing as a perfect crime.
00:19:28Just a lucky one.
00:19:30But their luck will run out.
00:19:33Well, it's not gonna run out tonight.
00:19:35I think I'll go back to the hotel and call Ruth.
00:19:37Tell her we're gonna be stuck here for a while.
00:19:38Okay.
00:19:43Make that wheat toast.
00:19:44Right. Be with you in a minute.
00:19:46Wheat toast and two coffees, Jimmy.
00:19:53Coffee?
00:19:54No.
00:19:55What have you been?
00:19:56Checking the ambulance reports as they came in.
00:19:58And?
00:19:59A highway patrol helicopter spotted 20 miles out of town.
00:20:01I told you.
00:20:02The first break.
00:20:04Maybe their luck's beginning to run out.
00:20:06Finish the coffee. Let's get out there.
00:20:09Brother.
00:20:10What a good night's sleep can do.
00:20:13Yes.
00:20:28Look, Joe, we're wasting time.
00:20:29Well, maybe they slipped.
00:20:30They've been too careful.
00:20:31Let's forget about the ambulance and find out where they went.
00:20:33I've been trying to find out.
00:20:35It's not where they went that's bothering me, it's how.
00:20:37One thing's for sure, they didn't drive.
00:20:39Well, how do you know?
00:20:40The ground, it's too dry. Dry as powder.
00:20:42No other tracks, just the ambulance.
00:20:44Yeah, but how?
00:20:48Maybe there's your answer, Joe.
00:21:04We got the copter over in the field.
00:21:13Anything?
00:21:16Blood.
00:21:17And plenty of it.
00:21:20See what I mean, Charlie?
00:21:22Their luck's beginning to run out.
00:21:31Why is it so much hotter here in Riverside than L.A.?
00:21:38What do you make of the blood?
00:21:40What do you make of the blood?
00:21:42I don't know.
00:21:44Nobody was hurt in the robbery.
00:21:46Maybe somebody was too greedy.
00:21:50It could have been an accident.
00:21:51Maybe.
00:21:53But it doesn't matter either way.
00:21:55What do you mean by that?
00:21:57It's only important who was hurt or how.
00:21:59The important thing is it wasn't on the timetable.
00:22:02And that's what's going to trap them, Charlie.
00:22:04Everything was too well-timed.
00:22:06No leeway.
00:22:07And if they went all scheduled once...
00:22:10Just once.
00:22:21Huh?
00:22:22Joe.
00:22:23Huh? What?
00:22:24Oh, it's you.
00:22:25Oh, my neck.
00:22:28What?
00:22:30The C.A.A. report.
00:22:31The copter belonged to a guy named Al Wolfe.
00:22:33He runs a charter service in Burbank.
00:22:35Pay dirt?
00:22:36I doubt it.
00:22:37Why?
00:22:38He reported it missing four weeks ago.
00:22:40Oh.
00:22:41Well, let's go have a talk with him anyway.
00:22:44We may get something.
00:22:45Yeah.
00:22:47Free ride around the airport.
00:23:09Hey, Mac.
00:23:11Hey.
00:23:22Wolfe around?
00:23:24Yeah, he's around.
00:23:27Will you get him for us?
00:23:29Yeah, sure.
00:23:31Hey, Wolfe.
00:23:33Here.
00:23:39Hi.
00:23:41How many planes can I sell you guys?
00:23:45We're checking on the guy who chartered your copter about four weeks ago.
00:23:47Oh, yeah.
00:23:48Well, it's like I told the C.A.A.
00:23:51The guy looked perfectly all right.
00:23:53He had a license, a legit reason, and...
00:23:56cash, lots of cash.
00:24:00How was I supposed to know he's a phony?
00:24:02You know, times ain't so good right now.
00:24:05You know, hundred-buck-a-day jobs don't come along every day in the week.
00:24:08The reason he gave you, what was it?
00:24:11He said he was flying up to Nevada.
00:24:13Something to do with uranium.
00:24:15He was gonna look over a claim, I think he said.
00:24:18And you believed him?
00:24:19Oh, look, buddy, I told you.
00:24:21He had a lot of cash.
00:24:22Paid me for six days.
00:24:24He could have said he was going to the moon.
00:24:28Remember what he looked like?
00:24:30Sure, sure.
00:24:31He was a nice-looking guy.
00:24:33Very pleasant personality.
00:24:35That all you can remember?
00:24:38Well, he was a big guy, and...
00:24:41like I said, a very pleasant personality.
00:24:45Who'd have thought he was a phony?
00:24:47Thank you very much, Mr. Wolfe.
00:24:49We'll be in touch with you.
00:24:50Hey, what about my captain?
00:24:52Sorry, but we'll have to hang on to him for a while.
00:24:54He's been impounded as evidence, but...
00:24:56we'll get it back to you as soon as possible.
00:24:57Look, I need it now.
00:24:59I can rent it to a movie company.
00:25:00They're making a flying picture.
00:25:01I'm down to make a western.
00:25:07Are you sure you don't want to lie down for a while, honey?
00:25:09You look beat.
00:25:10Ruthie, I've already told you I've got work to do.
00:25:12If I lie down, it piles up.
00:25:13I'll get buried under it.
00:25:14But it can wait for an hour, can't it?
00:25:16Oh, darling, you shouldn't drive yourself like this.
00:25:19It isn't worth it.
00:25:20You've just got to relax.
00:25:22Got to relax?
00:25:23Let me rub your forehead.
00:25:24Let me get your slippers.
00:25:25Ruthie, what do you know about this?
00:25:26Why don't you just leave me alone?
00:25:29You mustn't fly off like that.
00:25:33All right, so I won't fly off.
00:25:35You won't make anything happen sooner by beating yourself.
00:25:39You know what Joe says.
00:25:41You've just got to have patience.
00:25:43Yeah, I know what Joe says.
00:25:44And patience is fine for a guy like Joe.
00:25:46It goes with his two-pants suit, his washable necktie, and his 49 car.
00:25:49For me, patience is poison.
00:25:53Charlie, can't I help?
00:25:59What could you do?
00:26:02You've never tested me, Charlie.
00:26:04Well, let's not begin now.
00:26:07Hello?
00:26:10I'll be there in a half hour.
00:26:12I'm sorry, baby, I've got to go.
00:26:15Charlie.
00:26:29What went wrong?
00:26:31What happened? Who got hurt?
00:26:32Charlie, please.
00:26:33Which one?
00:26:34Lombard.
00:26:35How?
00:26:36His own gun. He tripped getting in the plane.
00:26:37He's a good fool. The getaway was timed.
00:26:38I'm moving fast, Charlie. It was an accident.
00:26:39An accident.
00:26:41I'll take that back.
00:26:42Now, we don't want any more accidents.
00:26:44What was he carrying a gun for?
00:26:45All he had to do was play sick and lie on a stretcher.
00:26:47He had an idea.
00:26:48I had a timetable.
00:26:51For months, I studied the east and the westbound trains.
00:26:54I rode the coaches like a candy butcher.
00:26:57I memorized the baggage car.
00:26:58I studied the crew movements, the compartment layout.
00:27:00I rehearsed every move with you and Paul over and over and over.
00:27:03What could we do? He had to stay with Lombard.
00:27:05We couldn't just let him die.
00:27:07You wouldn't have wanted that, would you?
00:27:09Would you, Charlie?
00:27:13No, of course not.
00:27:15How bad is he?
00:27:16Not good.
00:27:17Let me have it straight. Will Lombard pull through?
00:27:19Well, Paul keeps telling us...
00:27:20Is Paul taking care of him now?
00:27:21Yes, he's doing everything he can.
00:27:23Paul's still a good doctor, Charlie.
00:27:25As good as one I married.
00:27:26He hasn't had a drink in four days.
00:27:28He better not.
00:27:29Where are they?
00:27:30In Chatsworth. Wolfe took us to a place.
00:27:31Wolfe?
00:27:33You're full of surprises, aren't you?
00:27:35Wolfe's part in the job was over when he landed that helicopter.
00:27:38I told Paul to pay everyone off and split up.
00:27:40We had to go somewhere.
00:27:41So Wolfe steps into the picture.
00:27:43Wolfe doesn't know about you.
00:27:44He still thinks Paul planned it.
00:27:45I still don't like it.
00:27:47Now that Wolfe knows, we all run a risk.
00:27:49What else could we do?
00:27:50Why did you switch the schedule?
00:27:52You were supposed to be in Mexico City.
00:27:53What are you doing here?
00:27:54You're the mastermind.
00:27:55Shut up, Linda.
00:27:56You're every minute ticked off for each of us.
00:27:58If you'd followed your own timetable, you'd have been there.
00:28:00I'm telling you to shut up.
00:28:01Well, why didn't you leave?
00:28:02Why didn't you carry out your end?
00:28:04I couldn't, you little fool. I couldn't.
00:28:05You mean you wouldn't.
00:28:06You thought Paul and I double-crossed you, didn't you?
00:28:08Didn't you?
00:28:15I'm on the case, Linda.
00:28:16The company assigned me to recover the money.
00:28:20I can roll with that one.
00:28:22I thought you were in Mexico City.
00:28:23But when I called the hotel from Winston, you weren't there either.
00:28:25I nearly went out of my mind.
00:28:27I didn't know what had gone wrong.
00:28:29All I knew is I had to get back to L.A.
00:28:30if I had to leave them here by the hand.
00:28:32We found the plane.
00:28:33The blood.
00:28:40I nearly went crazy.
00:28:41Whose blood? Which one?
00:28:42It could have been yours.
00:28:45Frightened?
00:28:46Nothing to be frightened of.
00:28:48What I know I can handle.
00:28:50Are you sure?
00:28:51Impossible.
00:28:54There's nothing to be frightened of.
00:28:56Aren't you ever afraid?
00:28:58Why should I be?
00:29:00My job is to catch myself.
00:29:01From here on, I control everything.
00:29:03I know what they're looking for.
00:29:04I can stop them from finding it.
00:29:06Sometimes you scare me.
00:29:08There's nothing to be frightened of, Linda.
00:29:11It just takes more time.
00:29:12That's what going off schedule means.
00:29:13More time.
00:29:14Until they run themselves ragged and give up.
00:29:16What about Paul? Maybe he won't want to wait.
00:29:18What does it matter what he wants?
00:29:20He'll do what I tell him.
00:29:21He has the money.
00:29:23Tell him I want to see him tomorrow here with the money.
00:29:26Here?
00:29:27All right, Linda.
00:29:28There's nothing to be frightened of.
00:29:30Charlie, I'm...
00:29:41I love you, Linda.
00:29:53I love you.
00:30:12Took your time.
00:30:13I had to be careful.
00:30:14I wasn't sure this was the place.
00:30:16Then I heard the music.
00:30:17Little Linda's favorite song.
00:30:19Health, happiness...
00:30:20The money?
00:30:22It's all there.
00:30:25The key.
00:30:27Here.
00:30:29Very nice.
00:30:31Yours?
00:30:32No, it belongs to a friend of mine.
00:30:34What about Lombard? How is he?
00:30:35Dead.
00:30:37Your friend isn't an enemy of alcohol, is he?
00:30:40Lombard didn't have a chance.
00:30:41I did everything I could, Charlie.
00:30:43Short of transfusions, wonder drugs and prayer.
00:30:47I was a very good surgeon, you know, until...
00:30:53What about that drink, huh?
00:31:08What did you do with the body?
00:31:09Wolf's getting rid of it.
00:31:11Don't worry, Charlie.
00:31:12He knows what he's doing.
00:31:13A very good doctor.
00:31:14He knows what he's doing.
00:31:15A very good amateur undertaker.
00:31:19Very expensive, too.
00:31:21That was a funeral that wouldn't wait.
00:31:24He wanted Lombard's share for doing the job.
00:31:27Did you give it to him?
00:31:28Sure, why not?
00:31:29What's $15,000?
00:31:30There's plenty to go around.
00:31:36What about the Ammons boys?
00:31:37Pay them off, too?
00:31:38Oh, yes.
00:31:39First night.
00:31:40They're out of the country by now.
00:31:41Just as you planned.
00:31:42You did a great job, Paul.
00:31:44The only lead was the copter.
00:31:45I planned on that.
00:31:47Armstrong swallowed Wolf's story whole.
00:31:49Armstrong?
00:31:51Railroad's prize cop.
00:31:52We're a team.
00:31:54Oh, yeah.
00:31:55Linda told me about that.
00:31:57Has great possibilities for a man with an iron nerve.
00:32:01Poor Wolf.
00:32:03If he knew who you really are...
00:32:07He swallowed you for a cop.
00:32:10Don't be too amused.
00:32:11I've got to be head and tail on the same coin.
00:32:14It means changing our plans.
00:32:16Our plans?
00:32:20I hardly see, Charlie, how your personal complications affect me.
00:32:24I was in this for one thing, the money.
00:32:26Now I've got it and I intend to enjoy it.
00:32:31Just how are you thinking of doing that?
00:32:34Going to Mexico.
00:32:35Just like you planned.
00:32:37We won't go together, that's all.
00:32:39How far do you think you'd get?
00:32:41You're a fool, Paul.
00:32:43Charlie, I only meant to...
00:32:44I know what you meant.
00:32:45Don't even think of it.
00:32:46We lost our chance for a quick getaway.
00:32:48Lombard's bungling fixed that.
00:32:49It's too late now, do you understand?
00:32:51I could make it, Charlie.
00:32:52I know I could.
00:32:53Without anybody to give you orders?
00:32:55You'd be a cop every two feet.
00:32:56You couldn't slip a bag of popcorn past them.
00:32:58They'd pick you up in five minutes.
00:33:02What are we going to do?
00:33:05Charlie, what do you want us to do?
00:33:06Hold up and wait.
00:33:07We've got all the time in the world.
00:33:09When can we go?
00:33:11When I tell you and how I tell you.
00:33:12Paul, you're great.
00:33:14You're just great as long as you're following orders.
00:33:16But the next time you get an original idea,
00:33:17remember when we first ran into each other.
00:33:19You were trying to beat the company with a claim
00:33:20that any ten-year-old kid could have seen through.
00:33:23Yes, I remember, Charlie.
00:33:24You pulled me out of that hole.
00:33:26I suppose you can pull us out of this one.
00:33:30What's next?
00:33:31Get clear of Wolfe's place and Wolfe.
00:33:33Move into a motel.
00:33:34Don't spend more than one night.
00:33:35Keep moving south.
00:33:36Chat with me every day.
00:33:37Let me know where you are and wait.
00:33:39All right.
00:33:42Well, get started.
00:33:45Don't you want to count her?
00:33:50I trust you, Paul.
00:33:52Sure you do.
00:33:53We trust each other.
00:34:05I'll have to tell Linda
00:34:06to be more careful with her lipsticks.
00:34:12Or will you tell her?
00:34:17And she said that she'd talk to you on the phone.
00:34:24Women.
00:34:27Oh, by the way, Charlie,
00:34:29you wouldn't have liked her blonde.
00:34:31Very unexciting.
00:34:46What's the matter, Joe?
00:34:47You run out of notebooks?
00:34:49What you can see, you can remember.
00:34:52My old man taught me this trick.
00:34:55What was he, a football coach?
00:34:58No, just a cracker.
00:35:00No, just a cracker barrel philosopher
00:35:02and sheriff of Hainesburg, Missouri.
00:35:06When he was on a case,
00:35:08he'd write everything down on a blackboard.
00:35:11Ever solve anything that way?
00:35:14Never missed one.
00:35:17He'd sit in front of it for hours
00:35:18studying the cold facts.
00:35:21When they'd sunk in,
00:35:23he'd erase them.
00:35:26Then he'd start thinking about people.
00:35:28That's okay if you know
00:35:29who you're thinking about.
00:35:31But this isn't a case
00:35:32of who stole Palmer Brown's cow.
00:35:38What's the doctor for?
00:35:40Nothing's turned up
00:35:41on any stolen medical supplies.
00:35:43No illegal drug sales.
00:35:45Anyway, that guy knew what he was doing
00:35:47when he came to giving a hypo.
00:35:49Just a possibility, that's all.
00:35:56A lot of doctors in the country, Joe.
00:35:58Yeah, I know.
00:36:00You planning on checking all of them?
00:36:02If I have to.
00:36:08What happens when you get
00:36:09to the end of that line?
00:36:11What about all the retired medics
00:36:13and those that have been
00:36:14barred from practice?
00:36:16Look, we'll be checking
00:36:17a lot of things
00:36:18within the next few weeks.
00:36:20Most of it won't mean much,
00:36:21but every now and then
00:36:22something may jive.
00:36:24When it does,
00:36:25we'll write it down.
00:36:26Keep your eye
00:36:27on that blackboard, Charlie.
00:36:29When we erase the facts,
00:36:31we've got our case.
00:36:38I'll get it, Ruthie.
00:36:44Norman speaking.
00:36:45Charlie, Joe.
00:36:47Can you meet me downtown,
00:36:48Lincoln Heights Station?
00:36:50Yeah, what for?
00:36:52I think we got the bum
00:36:53who drove the car from Riverside.
00:36:56Okay.
00:37:22Give me a cigarette, will you, Joe?
00:37:26Thanks.
00:37:36Let's try it again, Frankie.
00:37:38Give me a break, will you?
00:37:39I drove a car, that's all.
00:37:41I didn't have anything
00:37:42to do with the robbery.
00:37:43I didn't even know
00:37:44there was a robbery
00:37:45until I read in the papers.
00:37:47Stop taking long shots, Frankie.
00:37:50Your luck ran out.
00:37:57He's here.
00:37:59Okay.
00:38:07It's true.
00:38:08You've got to believe me.
00:38:09Some guy came up to me.
00:38:10What guy?
00:38:11I don't know his name.
00:38:12Just a guy.
00:38:14Said he'd seen me
00:38:15hanging around L.A.
00:38:16looking for a hungry buck.
00:38:18Wanted to know
00:38:19if I'd like to make
00:38:20some quick dough.
00:38:21And you said sure?
00:38:22What else could I say?
00:38:24Hey, I was down
00:38:25on my knees.
00:38:27All he wanted me to do
00:38:28was send a wire to some character
00:38:29on the train and
00:38:30then drive a car
00:38:31out to a field in Riverside.
00:38:32That's all.
00:38:33A perfectly honest job.
00:38:34I thought it was legitimate.
00:38:37What'd he say he'd pay you?
00:38:38Huh?
00:38:39A dollar an hour?
00:38:40What did he pay you?
00:38:46Five thousand dollars.
00:38:50That's quite a day's pay.
00:38:51Go on.
00:38:53I did it.
00:38:55That's what I feel
00:38:56when he told me to be.
00:38:57Could've knocked me over
00:38:58when that cop that came in.
00:38:59Did they tell you
00:39:00what they'd been up to?
00:39:01No.
00:39:02Honest.
00:39:03They are honest.
00:39:04No.
00:39:05See, nobody said anything.
00:39:06All the way into San Badu.
00:39:07Nobody said nothing.
00:39:08Only this guy moaning
00:39:09and bleeding.
00:39:10Nobody said anything.
00:39:11They gave me the creeps.
00:39:12Come on, Frankie.
00:39:13That's a long drive.
00:39:14I just told you.
00:39:15Nobody said nothing.
00:39:16There was just this guy and...
00:39:17What was it, Frankie?
00:39:19What did you just remember?
00:39:21Well,
00:39:22it was his dame, see?
00:39:23What about the dame?
00:39:25Well,
00:39:26this guy's moaning
00:39:27must've gotten on her nerves
00:39:28because she said a couple of things
00:39:29to one of the guys
00:39:30who shot her up.
00:39:31What'd she say?
00:39:32I don't know.
00:39:33See, it sounded kind of foreign
00:39:34like, uh...
00:39:36Nom breeze
00:39:37or...
00:39:38Nom was...
00:39:39Nom something.
00:39:41Nom de Dios.
00:39:42How's that sound?
00:39:43Yeah, that's it.
00:39:45Anything else you can remember?
00:39:47No, nothing.
00:39:48That's all there was.
00:39:49See, I drove the cop back to San Badu.
00:39:50The guy paid me off.
00:39:51He told me to squint.
00:39:53Sheesh.
00:39:55I don't know.
00:39:56It was dark.
00:39:57I couldn't see anything.
00:39:58I hung around San Badu
00:39:59a couple of days
00:40:00and then I got restless.
00:40:01See, I'm always getting restless
00:40:02moving around.
00:40:14Will you come in, please?
00:40:16All right.
00:40:23Ever seen this man before, Frankie?
00:40:27Recognize him?
00:40:31Take your time.
00:40:45No.
00:40:52Is that all?
00:40:54That's all, Mr. Wolf.
00:40:55Thanks for coming down.
00:41:23What do you want?
00:41:24I'd just like a word with you
00:41:25if you don't mind.
00:41:26Why don't you guys
00:41:27leave me alone?
00:41:30I don't like people
00:41:31busting in here,
00:41:32cops or no cops.
00:41:34I'm not a cop.
00:41:35I'm an insurance investigator.
00:41:38Well, I don't need any, mister.
00:41:49Cozy place, huh?
00:41:51It's a cozy place you've got here.
00:41:54Do you mind?
00:41:55I'm superstitious.
00:41:58You know,
00:41:59if I thought you were gonna
00:42:00case my couch,
00:42:01I'd have, uh,
00:42:02had soft lights
00:42:03or sweet music.
00:42:04No.
00:42:06No, I'd just like you
00:42:07to answer a couple of questions.
00:42:08Now, look, mister.
00:42:09Why don't you go back
00:42:10to your insurance boss
00:42:11and tell him
00:42:12that you drew a blank?
00:42:14I already told you
00:42:15and that other guy,
00:42:16the cop, everything I know.
00:42:17I'm fresh out of answers.
00:42:21Maybe you are, maybe you aren't.
00:42:23What does that mean?
00:42:25Frankie Page,
00:42:26he seemed to know you.
00:42:28But it turned out he didn't,
00:42:29after all.
00:42:30You were there.
00:42:32Yeah.
00:42:34A couple of nights in jail, though,
00:42:35may refresh his memory.
00:42:42All right.
00:42:44You got something on your mind.
00:42:46What is it?
00:42:47Did you kill Harry Lombard?
00:42:51No.
00:42:52When's the last time you saw him?
00:42:54Three years ago.
00:42:55You're lying, Wolf.
00:42:56Did you ever see Frankie Page before?
00:42:57No.
00:42:58Wolf, you're too sharp a poker player
00:42:59to run a bluff in a game like this.
00:43:00What's that supposed to mean?
00:43:01Frankie Page, you may remember.
00:43:03He may talk.
00:43:04It could mean 20 years.
00:43:06Count him, Wolf, 20.
00:43:08Lay off me, will you?
00:43:09You kill Harry Lombard
00:43:10and bury his body in Chatsworth?
00:43:12Leave me alone!
00:43:13You own a ranch in Chatsworth,
00:43:14don't you?
00:43:15Is it a crime to own real estate?
00:43:16No!
00:43:18Just so long as you don't use it
00:43:19as a private cemetery.
00:43:20I told you, I don't own nothing!
00:43:22Not even Paul Bruckner?
00:43:25No.
00:43:26No!
00:43:27Come, clean Wolf.
00:43:28You've been tailed
00:43:29since the first day of this case.
00:43:30Every move, every phone call,
00:43:31everybody you saw.
00:43:32Why'd you kill Harry Lombard?
00:43:33I didn't kill him.
00:43:34It was an accident.
00:43:35His gun went off and then Bruckner...
00:43:36Oh, you do know Bruckner?
00:43:40You.
00:43:41You and Bruckner,
00:43:42you planned this whole thing, didn't you?
00:43:43No.
00:43:44No, it was Bruckner.
00:43:45He just came to me
00:43:46and asked me if I wanted to make some dough.
00:43:47How do you know you weren't Simon Fure?
00:43:48Well, somebody told him
00:43:49I used to fly wetbacks up from Mexico.
00:43:50Who told him?
00:43:51I don't know.
00:43:52Maybe his dame.
00:43:53I don't know.
00:43:54It was a long time ago.
00:43:55I just thought I was gonna
00:43:56pick up some wetbacks near Winston.
00:43:58I don't know nothing about no robbery.
00:44:06A DA wouldn't buy that
00:44:07if you were blind drunk, Wolf.
00:44:0920 years.
00:44:11Wait a minute.
00:44:12Wait a minute.
00:44:19Okay.
00:44:21I was in on it.
00:44:22I knew what I was doing,
00:44:23but I didn't plan it.
00:44:24It was Bruckner.
00:44:25Bruckner was the brains.
00:44:26He set it up.
00:44:27That's who you were protecting?
00:44:28Sure.
00:44:29Sure.
00:44:31But no more.
00:44:33You'll leave this to him?
00:44:36What's in it for me?
00:44:40Wolf, there's a time to wheel
00:44:41and a time to deal.
00:44:43This isn't your time.
00:44:49Okay.
00:44:56They ran out on me.
00:44:57Him and his wife.
00:44:58They got all the dough.
00:44:59I didn't get nothing.
00:45:00A couple of grand, nothing.
00:45:02You know where they are now?
00:45:03Yeah, I know where they are.
00:45:06They were staying at my place
00:45:07in Chatsworth,
00:45:08and they left sudden,
00:45:09so I followed them.
00:45:10They're at a motel in Culver City.
00:45:13I'll write down the address for you.
00:45:15You're remembering better all the time.
00:45:18Something else you don't know.
00:45:21That day, he made an old blunt.
00:45:23Go on.
00:45:24And Bruckner...
00:45:26Bruckner took a bum rap as a medic.
00:45:30This gets better all the time.
00:45:32And you will talk to the DA?
00:45:35Why not?
00:45:37They ran out on me, didn't they?
00:45:39Sure, I'll talk.
00:45:40I'll tell them everything.
00:45:44That's what I had to find out.
00:45:48Gunshot
00:46:49Gunshot
00:47:08Papers are giving us a bad time.
00:47:11Have you read this one?
00:47:13Yeah, I...
00:47:14I read it over a cold cup of coffee.
00:47:16That isn't all that's cold.
00:47:19We've got a dead-end case.
00:47:21It's too bad.
00:47:23Wolf would have broken sooner or later.
00:47:26He broke all right right down the middle.
00:47:28Yeah.
00:47:30No, thanks.
00:47:32I never thought he was the type.
00:47:34In fact, I still don't.
00:47:35Maybe.
00:47:37What do you mean, maybe?
00:47:38You saw him.
00:47:39He was cocky, a tough little guy.
00:47:41You never figured him to do the Dutch.
00:47:43He wasn't as tough as we figured.
00:47:44Yeah.
00:47:53Wolf had $65,000 buried in that hangar.
00:47:58You'd have thought he'd have had one big fling.
00:48:01Not shoot himself in a crummy room.
00:48:06Well, you never can tell what a conscience will do to a man.
00:48:09And even destroy him.
00:48:10Yeah.
00:48:11And a case.
00:48:12And a case.
00:48:15I think I'll call Hendricks and have him take me off the case.
00:48:19Get a couple of weeks into Mexico before the summer's over.
00:48:23You might as well.
00:48:25Before you're too old to cross the border.
00:48:27As of now, we're nowhere.
00:48:30That's what Ruth and I need.
00:48:32New places, new faces.
00:48:36Well, Joe, don't say it hasn't been fun.
00:48:38Yeah, just one big party.
00:48:40Bring me back some jumping beans.
00:48:43I'll do that.
00:48:47Hello, Armstrong.
00:48:49Just a minute, Charlie.
00:48:52Yeah.
00:48:54Yeah.
00:48:56Okay.
00:49:02That was the DA's office.
00:49:05What'd they have to say?
00:49:06What'd they have to say?
00:49:09From now on, we play it my old man's way.
00:49:13From here on, we're dealing with people.
00:49:17What do you mean by that?
00:49:19We've got Mr. Big.
00:49:21Old Doc Sloan.
00:49:23He panicked during a routine customs inspection at Tijuana this morning.
00:49:27Tried to drive through the barrier.
00:49:29They shot him.
00:49:31And?
00:49:33He's dead.
00:49:37Is there anyone with him?
00:49:39Yeah.
00:49:41The woman.
00:49:43But she got him out of the car.
00:49:45And?
00:49:47She got him out of the car.
00:49:49And?
00:49:50The woman.
00:49:52But she got away.
00:49:54They found $200,000 on him.
00:49:57She must have the rest.
00:50:03Well, Charlie, looks like you're going to Mexico after all.
00:50:06You have another way I'd plan?
00:50:08Look, why don't you call Hendricks before we leave?
00:50:11Once we get the woman, you've recovered the bulk of the money.
00:50:14Your job's over.
00:50:16So?
00:50:17So you and Ruth can take off in Tijuana.
00:50:19Not a bad idea.
00:50:21She could pack and meet me down there Saturday.
00:50:23Even if we don't pick up the woman right away,
00:50:25it'll give you and Ruth a chance to brush up on your Spanish.
00:50:29And that's not counting the money.
00:50:31What money?
00:50:33The money you'd save on plane tickets.
00:50:35No tax in Mexico.
00:50:37You'd save 60 bucks.
00:50:39Oh, sure.
00:50:42I forgot about that.
00:50:44Every little bit helps, Charlie.
00:50:45Good idea.
00:50:47I think I'll call Hendricks. He'll probably go for it.
00:50:49Right, you do that.
00:50:51Then go home and pack a clean shirt.
00:50:53I'll pick you up in a couple of hours, huh?
00:51:15Yeah.
00:51:45You should have let me pack.
00:51:47I could have kept all the creases in the right places.
00:51:49You'll have enough to do.
00:51:51Anything special you want me to bring down,
00:51:53like your fishing gear?
00:51:55I won't be doing any fishing, Ruthie.
00:51:57Well, you can if you want to.
00:51:59I'll have plenty to do.
00:52:01Oh, by the way, there's a dispatch case in the back of the car,
00:52:03some stuff from the office.
00:52:05Just throw it in with the rest of the bags, will you?
00:52:07I'll take care of it.
00:52:09I'll take care of it.
00:52:11I'll take care of it.
00:52:13I'll take care of it.
00:52:15Where are you from, really?
00:52:17From the office.
00:52:19Yeah, some annual reports.
00:52:21I promised Hendricks I'd finish them up in Mexico.
00:52:23It'll only take me a day or so.
00:52:25Well, he's got his nerve.
00:52:27The important thing is he's letting us go.
00:52:29Sorry you're getting stuck with the packing.
00:52:31No, I don't mind.
00:52:33It'll be fun now that we're really going.
00:52:35You just throw everything in the car.
00:52:37I'll meet you at the border on Saturday.
00:52:39Oh, it's Joe.
00:52:41Goodbye, Ruthie.
00:52:43Charlie, aren't you going to kiss me?
00:52:45Sure.
00:52:47Goodbye, Ruthie.
00:52:55Here.
00:52:57Here and here.
00:52:59The road south to Rosarito Beach.
00:53:01The road to Tecate.
00:53:03They're all covered. We have hopes.
00:53:05You won't have any trouble.
00:53:07She's got $200,000 on her and she's a blonde.
00:53:09The money may help.
00:53:11She could show it to the wrong person.
00:53:13But I'm not sure about the blonde.
00:53:15He was shot before dawn.
00:53:17It was still dark.
00:53:19But when the woman ran away,
00:53:21one of the inspectors got a look at her.
00:53:23He couldn't tell much,
00:53:25but he was sure she was not a blonde.
00:53:27All of our witnesses said blonde.
00:53:29They saw her in a lighted corridor,
00:53:31not on a dark street.
00:53:33Well, she could have used dye.
00:53:35Still doesn't mean her hair was brown.
00:53:37He didn't say she had brown hair,
00:53:39Senor Norman.
00:53:41He merely said she wasn't blonde.
00:53:43Well, what difference does it make?
00:53:45He says that she's a woman.
00:53:47Blonde, brown, red or green hair.
00:53:49Just a woman.
00:53:51True, but she's a woman on the run.
00:53:53There's no place she could go
00:53:55without attracting some attention.
00:54:09I'm for a shower and a thick steak.
00:54:11How about you?
00:54:13I thought I'd stop by the airport
00:54:15and see you later.
00:54:17Might even buy you a beer
00:54:19if the swindle sheet can stand it.
00:54:21It's a deal, Joe.
00:54:23Want me to drop you by the hotel?
00:54:25No, no, don't bother.
00:54:27The town's full of cats.
00:54:29Hey, don't smash up
00:54:31Lieutenant Castro's car.
00:54:45Hello.
00:55:16Nuestro
00:55:20Depende el vivir
00:55:26ReÃr, cantar
00:55:30Es un placer amar
00:55:32Vivir asÃ
00:55:35Te puedes encontrar
00:55:42Yes, Senor.
00:55:43Where's Bobby?
00:55:45He's out.
00:55:47I'll wait.
00:55:49Suit yourself.
00:55:51Drink?
00:55:53I'll have a drink, Senor.
00:55:55Is it all right?
00:55:57Is it all right, Gringolito?
00:55:59Sure, give her a drink.
00:56:01Granada.
00:56:10She's a big girl, give her a drink.
00:56:13You heard what he said, Mozo.
00:56:15Give me scotch.
00:56:37You're nice, Gringolito.
00:56:39I want a drink with you.
00:56:43I don't drink.
00:56:45Is that because you're good?
00:56:48Not particularly.
00:56:50You are good.
00:56:52A good little angler with pretty brown eyes.
00:56:55And lots of American dollars.
00:56:58Where's Bobby?
00:57:00Didn't you hear the Mozo? He's not in.
00:57:03Dance with me.
00:57:05Where is he?
00:57:07Dance with me.
00:57:09You dance with me, I'll tell you.
00:57:13No, I...
00:57:15I think I'll sit this one out.
00:57:20With Bobby?
00:57:22In his office?
00:57:24With Bobby, in his office.
00:57:44Who are you?
00:57:48What do you want?
00:57:50I'm looking for a woman, Bobby.
00:57:57So few women in Tijuana, you must look for one in my office?
00:58:06I'm looking for a woman.
00:58:08I'm looking for a woman.
00:58:10I'm looking for a woman.
00:58:12Get up.
00:58:14There's a particular kind of a woman, Bobby.
00:58:17What kind of woman is that?
00:58:19The kind that Al Wolfe would have brought you.
00:58:21The kind that needed help.
00:58:23Like Lombard needed help.
00:58:25Only he doesn't need it anymore.
00:58:30Lombard.
00:58:33114 Cali, Rosarito del Flores, Tijuana.
00:58:42How about that woman, Bobby?
00:58:44How did...
00:58:46I've known about you and Al Wolfe for a long time.
00:58:48Playing your high class wetback game.
00:58:50A lot of people could use a passport away out of the country.
00:58:54Life can be cruel, Bobby.
00:58:56But it paid.
00:58:58It bought Wolfe an airport and you a club.
00:59:01You're crazy.
00:59:03I haven't got much time.
00:59:05Where's the woman?
00:59:07Are you police?
00:59:09I wouldn't be.
00:59:11I'd be playing around if I were.
00:59:13Where is she, Bobby?
00:59:17I'll take you to her.
00:59:26First I make a phone call.
00:59:33You're not very bright, Bobby.
00:59:36Very well.
00:59:38She's here, safe.
00:59:40Her husband arranged for two Argentine passports.
00:59:43After the border fiasco, I took her in.
00:59:45You still have the passports?
00:59:47Yes.
00:59:49They're beautiful.
00:59:51And away out of Mexico?
00:59:53Also beautiful.
00:59:55But it will cost money.
00:59:57How much?
00:59:59$20,000, but it is foolproof.
01:00:01I'd send my own mother that way.
01:00:03You probably have.
01:00:05I'll be using those passports.
01:00:07You?
01:00:09Money?
01:00:11Half tomorrow night, half when you get us to Buenos Aires.
01:00:13Don't argue, I'm not in the mood.
01:00:15I'll take you to her.
01:00:31Hello, Linda.
01:00:34Charlie.
01:00:39Charlie.
01:00:57You thought I'd left you.
01:00:59You think I wanted to go with Paul.
01:01:03Charlie threatened to tell the police.
01:01:06Money gave him a feeling of power.
01:01:09Dreams of a new life.
01:01:11With me.
01:01:16But he didn't make it.
01:01:19But we will, Linda.
01:01:22Everything will be all right.
01:01:24My share of the money will be handed to me tomorrow.
01:01:27In 24 hours, we'll be halfway to Argentina.
01:01:31We'll be together, Linda.
01:01:34Two of us.
01:01:36I mean, Charlie, the two of us.
01:01:40Charlie.
01:01:42I was just going to look for you.
01:01:44Oh, what's up?
01:01:46We just got a call from Cabot.
01:01:48Leighton Prince.
01:01:50We've got an ID on Sloan.
01:01:52Old Doc Sloan.
01:01:54His real name was Paul Bruckner.
01:01:56Lived in San Francisco.
01:01:58Married to a Mexican girl named Linda.
01:02:00He was legitimate, too.
01:02:02But he was kicked out from metal practice.
01:02:04You're creeping up on him.
01:02:06Once you've got a man's reputation,
01:02:07he quits being a shadow.
01:02:09What's the next step?
01:02:11We dig into Bruckner's life in San Francisco.
01:02:14What tonsils he took out.
01:02:16What babies he delivered.
01:02:18How he lost his license.
01:02:22I owe you some coffee, Joe?
01:02:24Me? No, thanks. I'm stimulated enough.
01:02:27Besides, I had to drink your beer, too, last night.
01:02:30Last night?
01:02:34I don't know.
01:02:36I went right to my room.
01:02:39Say, I better get going. I've got to meet Ruth at the border.
01:02:42When does she do?
01:02:44Five o'clock. I'll go with you.
01:02:46That's all right, Joe. I can manage. Thanks.
01:02:48Sure you can.
01:02:50But I don't want to miss seeing Ruth's face
01:02:52when she finally gets to Mexico.
01:03:06Hey, here, here. Wait a minute.
01:03:08Let me help you.
01:03:13Looks like you're going away for ten years.
01:03:15Yes, it looks like it, doesn't it?
01:03:35Shall we unpack now?
01:03:37No, I... Why don't we wait till after dinner?
01:03:40Whenever you say, Charlie.
