00:02:42He's heading for home.
00:02:43Here comes the throw.
00:02:45It's going to be close, but it's cut off.
00:02:47The throw is into second, trying to get Desmond.
00:02:49He slides.
00:02:50He's out.
00:02:52That makes two outs and three rugs in.
00:02:55What's happened, Evans?
00:02:56Nothing, Lieutenant.
00:02:57It was a false alarm.
00:02:59How do you like that, another one?
00:03:01Some crank of shoe having fun with the taxpayer's money.
00:03:04Now he swings.
00:03:05It's a grounder.
00:03:06A grounder to shortstop.
00:03:07He's up with the throw.
00:03:08It's the first.
00:03:09He's out.
00:03:10Sides retired.

00:04:16Aren't you a little old.
00:04:17It's the end of the world.
00:04:18Look at you, don't you know how to be so beautiful.
00:04:19Stay out of my way.
00:04:20Did you feel that?
00:04:21No, no, I didn't.
00:04:22I'm sorry.
00:04:23Jane?
00:04:24Come in.
00:04:25I told you no need to see to this thing.
00:04:26Hello, Dave.
00:04:27I figured, I'd find you here.
00:04:28I thought you told me you were washed up by this day.
00:04:29Ah, it's the other way around.
00:04:30And what you're hanging around for?
00:04:31Look, Dave, I know she's strictly high rent and I'm broke.
00:04:32But I can't forget her that easy.
00:04:33You really got it mad, haven't you?
00:04:34Yeah, bad.
00:04:43Behind my back. I don't know who the creep is, but I'd sure like to lay my hands on him.
00:04:48Yeah, I know. You better lay your hands on some money first.
00:04:51That'll take care of some of your problems anyway.
00:04:53That'll take care of all of my problems.
00:04:56Come on, I want to talk to you.
00:04:58She comes high, but she's worth it.
00:04:59Yeah, let's go.
00:05:01How about those guys you were going to line up?
00:05:04I got them. Two of the best.
00:05:06How much did you tell them?
00:05:08Nothing. Just that it's big.
00:05:11Good.
00:05:13Have them at your place tomorrow night, ten o'clock.
00:05:16Okay. I'll try to set it up. If anything goes wrong, I'll call you.
00:05:20I'll call you.
00:05:22I'll call you.
00:05:24I'll call you.
00:05:26I'll call you.
00:05:28I'll call you.
00:05:30I'll have a new number.
00:05:32You going to move again?
00:05:33Yeah, tonight. The Valley Motor Court.
00:05:36Sunset 72131.
00:05:39I'm registered under the name of Martin Bell.
00:05:41Don't write that down.
00:05:43I'm going to forget it.
00:05:45You move so often.
00:05:46I don't like things written down.
00:05:48Memorize it.
00:05:49Sunset 72131.
00:05:53Okay.
00:05:54Okay.
00:05:56Yvonne, wait a minute, Dave.
00:05:58Baby, I want you to meet a friend of mine. Dave Purvis.
00:06:01Hello.
00:06:02How are you?
00:06:02The wife.
00:06:03I've got to get right back, Benny.
00:06:04Nice to have met you.
00:06:05Oh, don't rush on my account.
00:06:07I was just leaving anyway.
00:06:08See you later.
00:06:09So long, Dave. Oh, please, baby.
00:06:11I want to talk to you.
00:06:13Sit down.
00:06:14I told you it's no use, Benny. Talk's no good.
00:06:16No?
00:06:17What would you say if I hit the jackpot?
00:06:19I wouldn't know what to say. It'd be such a shock.
00:06:22Well, I'm on to something real big.
00:06:25If you'll just be a little patient.
00:06:26See what I mean? Talk, talk, talk.
00:06:29For Pete's sake, Benny, why don't you stop bothering me?
00:06:31Just a minute.
00:06:33You seem to forget that we're still married.
00:06:36As if I could forget.
00:06:57What?
00:07:16Mind if I come in, honey?
00:07:17What do you think?
00:07:27I see you're moving again.
00:07:29That's right, tonight.
00:07:31Why do you move so often?
00:07:34It's a habit with me.
00:07:36Like you are.
00:07:39Say, these are good-looking shirts.
00:07:42Why do you cut the labels off?
00:07:44Same reason I keep moving.
00:07:45I don't like labels.
00:07:47No loose ends, baby.
00:07:49You're the careful type guy, aren't you?
00:07:51Yeah, real careful.
00:07:53And clean as a whistle.
00:07:55No record, baby.
00:07:56Not even a parking ticket.
00:07:58And this time, I'm gonna be extra careful.
00:08:01This is the big one.
00:08:03I think I like the careful type.
00:08:11What are you doing about Benny?
00:08:13At the moment, I happen to need him.
00:08:16But he's expendable.
00:08:18You're not.
00:08:20I'm sorry I can't stay, Dave.
00:08:22I'm late for the show now.
00:08:24I'd better leave.
00:08:27Okay.
00:08:31It won't be long till we're leaving together.
00:08:32Getting impatient?
00:08:33You bet I am.
00:08:36So am I.
00:08:52Come in.
00:08:53Hello, Benny.
00:08:54Hi.
00:08:55Benny?
00:08:57Meet the boys.
00:08:58These are the guys I was telling you about.
00:09:00Al Mapes, Ace Foster.
00:09:02How are you?
00:09:02Have a seat. Let's get acquainted.
00:09:04Come on over here, fellas.
00:09:10How do you take it? Straight or with soda?
00:09:12I like it straight.
00:09:12Okay.
00:09:14I think we'd all like it straight.
00:09:15He doesn't mean no whiskey.
00:09:17I've been a little stingy with the words.
00:09:19Okay.
00:09:23The stake we're going for is about a half a million bucks.
00:09:26That's cash.
00:09:27Only it's a one-shot deal.
00:09:29All or nothing in three minutes after the strike.
00:09:31Never mind the build-up Benny gave us, Ed.
00:09:34You planning on grabbing this dough from a bank?
00:09:37You might call it that.
00:09:38Only this bank happens to have wheels under it,
00:09:40and very few guards.
00:09:42Sounds like an armored car job.
00:09:45I could be wrong.
00:09:46You happen to be right.
00:09:49Doesn't sound good.
00:09:51I don't like the odds.
00:09:53Yeah, you can count me out, too.
00:09:54I'm not ready for a fast 60-buck funeral.
00:09:57Just a minute, Ace.
00:09:58A guy got away with it back in Chicago about three years ago.
00:10:01Yeah, I remember that.
00:10:03But that happened to be Chicago.
00:10:05And that was a Dave Purvis job.
00:10:07Let me ask you a question.
00:10:09Supposing it was Dave Purvis figuring this strike,
00:10:10would it sound better?
00:10:12All right, so what would sound better?
00:10:13Come from a guy who knows the ropes or what?
00:10:15Don't you get it, you clucks?
00:10:17Dave Purvis is figuring this job.
00:10:22How about the odds now, Maves?
00:10:25They sound much better.
00:10:27Keep talking.
00:10:27First, you better know that I'm taking half of everything we get.
00:10:30The rest of you go on equal shares.
00:10:32That clear?
00:10:33Check.
00:10:34Where do we go from there?
00:10:36I can show you better than I can tell you.
00:10:38In here.
00:10:55This is the layout.
00:10:56Wrigley Field, where we pull the strike.
00:10:58Plenty neat.
00:11:01Why Wrigley Field?
00:11:02They haven't got that kind of dough there.
00:11:04That's a good question.
00:11:05The dough we pick up at the ballpark's not important.
00:11:07What we're after is the load on that truck.
00:11:11The cash receipts from bank transfers, markets and theaters.
00:11:14Wrigley Field happens to be the last stop on their run.
00:11:17Also, it's the easiest place for us to operate.
00:11:20You can take my word for that. I checked them all.
00:11:22You can take my word for that. I checked them all.
00:11:24We're still listening.
00:11:26We've got three minutes to pull the whole deal.
00:11:29Someone is going to spot us and send for the cops.
00:11:31I've already timed that.
00:11:33Suppose we haven't finished and there's still dough in the truck.
00:11:36We leave it.
00:11:37I don't want anybody to get sticky-fingered after the time is up.
00:11:40Is that clear?
00:11:42Yeah.
00:11:43Yeah.
00:11:44When do you figure on going on this?
00:11:45Next Tuesday.
00:11:46We've got a lot of work to do.
00:11:49You boys are going to study this routine till it comes out your ears.
00:11:54Now, the armored car will be coming along here.
00:12:19I can't see where the cops are.
00:12:21I can't see where the cops are.

00:25:01but they told me I could find you down here.
00:25:03What's on your mind, Mr. Bronson?
00:25:04Well, you see, my firm has the policy
00:25:06on the L.A. Armored Car Company,
00:25:08and we stand to take a big loss...
00:25:10You're worried about your money, is that it?
00:25:11That's it, exactly.
00:25:12If they collect their insurance,
00:25:14it'll be the biggest claim
00:25:15that my company has ever had to pay.
00:25:17You know, that's quite a coincidence.
00:25:19A friend of mine, a police officer,
00:25:20he had insurance, too.
00:25:22His widow is gonna collect it.
00:25:24I heard about that.
00:25:25I'm sorry.
00:25:26But as I was saying,
00:25:27my company stands to put out over $400,000.
00:25:30So, you see, we're more than anxious to cooperate.
00:25:34Isn't there something that we can do?
00:25:37Yeah, come to think of it,
00:25:38there is something you can do.
00:25:39Really? What is it?
00:25:40Get out of our hair and let us work.
00:25:41We're doing everything we can.
00:25:44Anything develops, we'll let you know.
00:25:46Well, if there's anything...
00:25:47Good night, Mr. Bronson.
00:25:48Good night, Lieutenant.
00:25:50I'm sorry I brought it up.
00:25:51Yeah, that makes two of us.
00:25:58What's his trouble?
00:26:00Money, what's yours?
00:26:01Lack of it.
00:26:04They're bottled up inside that circle.
00:26:06There's no way out.
00:26:07Not unless the car sprouts wings.
00:26:10I know for sure
00:26:11they couldn't get through San Pedro or Long Beach.
00:26:14Or north or east.
00:26:17Well, the next move's up to them.
00:26:41Take it easy.
00:26:49How's Benny?
00:26:50Not so good.
00:26:51Come on, let's take a look at him.
00:27:00He's alive.
00:27:01He's alive.
00:27:02He's alive.
00:27:03He's alive.
00:27:04He's alive.
00:27:05He's alive.
00:27:06He's alive.
00:27:07He's alive.
00:27:08He's alive.
00:27:09He's worse, Purvis.
00:27:10He needs a doc.
00:27:11I don't care if he needs a hospital.
00:27:13All he's gonna get is first aid.
00:27:15Let's get out of here.
00:27:16Dave, listen to me.
00:27:18I can't go with you like this.
00:27:20You've got to get me a doc.
00:27:21I told you that was out.
00:27:23Forget about it.
00:27:25We'll get you patched up later.
00:27:27Get him a slug of whiskey.
00:27:29We're wasting time.
00:27:33Here, Benny.
00:27:34Have a drink of this.
00:27:40Al, talk to Dave.
00:27:42Make him get me a doc.
00:27:43Yeah, I will.
00:27:44Make him.
00:27:45You take it easy.
00:27:46I'll be back.
00:27:50I don't think he's gonna pull through, Purvis.
00:27:52Well, that's his tough luck.
00:27:53He knew the chance he was taking.
00:27:55We've stalled long enough.
00:27:56We could have been halfway to Mexico and out of trouble if it hadn't been for him.
00:28:00I'll light off the boat.
00:28:01Will you quit holding the weight for the guy?
00:28:03If he kicks off, we'll bury him at sea.
00:28:05You can do your moaning then.
00:28:06Don't move.
00:28:08Any of you.
00:28:10I want to get me a doc.
00:28:12Don't try to stop me, Dave.
00:28:16Hand over my share of the dough.
00:28:19Hand it over.
00:28:20You're making a bonehead play, Benny.
00:28:22They'll pick you up shore.
00:28:24You'll get us all in a jam.
00:28:25I'm in a jam now.
00:28:26I'm dying.
00:28:28Hurry up. Hurry up.
00:28:30Okay, Benny.
00:28:31Anything you say.
00:28:33You'll get everything you're entitled to.
00:28:39What are you staring at? Pick him up.
00:28:42What'll I do with him?
00:28:44Put him in the car.
00:28:45We've got to get rid of it anyhow.
00:28:47It's hot and so is he.
00:28:49No loose ends, boys.
00:28:51You're going to ditch the car with him in it?
00:28:53Maybe you'd rather bring him along for company.
00:28:56Come on. Don't be all night about it.
00:28:58I'd rather bring him along for company.
00:29:01Come on. Don't be all night about it.
00:29:25You better stay, Al. Purpose has got all the dough.
00:29:27Okay, but get back as fast as you can.
00:29:49What are you doing here? I thought you were going to help Foster.
00:29:51Oh, he can handle that alone. Besides, I want to find out something.
00:29:55Yeah?
00:29:55What about Benny's cut?
00:29:57What about it?
00:29:58Well, he's out, so I figured we'd split three ways.
00:30:02Well, you figured wrong.
00:30:03No, I did. Well, maybe you can give me a good reason.
00:30:05I can give you two good reasons.
00:30:07First, Benny had a wife. I'm going to see that she gets his whole share.
00:30:11Well, ain't that just dandy? Big-hearted perv is playing Santa Claus to his pal's widow.
00:30:16A burlesque queen.
00:30:18You got a big mouth, Mapes. I don't like your conversation.
00:30:21Oh, I hit the bullseye.
00:30:23You know, she is a pretty slick number. I understand her heart didn't exactly belong to Benny.
00:30:29Maybe you owe her that dough, huh, Purvis?
00:30:31I told you how it's going to be. Get used to the idea.
00:30:34Wait a minute. You said there was another reason.
00:30:37There is.
00:30:44Want any more reasons?
00:31:23I told you.
00:31:32Dorchester Avenue in the alley of 307.
00:31:36573 Dorchester Avenue in the alley of 307.
00:31:43137A, no makin'.
00:31:46874577 Hamilton Way. Need an officer.
00:31:524-5-7-7, Hamilton Way.
00:31:55Need an officer.
00:31:57Car 6 to Control. Car 6 to Control.
00:32:00Go ahead, Car 6.
00:32:02We're down at Pier 5. A car just went off the pier.
00:32:05Can you describe the car?
00:32:07A small black sedan.
00:32:09Stand by. We'll be right down.
00:32:12Special Agent 11, repeat the second street only.
00:32:16Do they match?
00:32:18Well, for my money, they do.
00:32:20What do you think?
00:32:22Well, they turned in here.
00:32:26Follow these tire marks. Not too fast.
00:32:28Yes, sir.
00:32:29Kill the lights.
00:32:50Come on.
00:33:20Come on.
00:33:51We gotta make a run for it, one at a time.
00:33:54You go first, Maves. Get to the boat.
00:33:56Foster, you go next.
00:33:58Now, be ready. The minute you see me, start the motor.
00:34:01Get going.
00:34:20Get going.
00:34:50Get going.
00:35:20Notify the Harbor Patrol.
00:35:51Morning, paper. Read all about the big robbery.
00:35:56Morning, paper. Read all about the big robbery.
00:36:00Just came in, Ms. LeDoux. It's the midnight.
00:36:03Thanks.
00:36:05Morning, paper.
00:36:07Paper, mister.
00:36:09Read all about the big robbery.
00:36:11Morning, paper.
00:36:13Read all about the big robbery.
00:36:16Morning, paper.
00:36:18Hi.
00:36:19Heads first.
00:36:48Hello, baby.
00:36:57Everything all right, Dave?
00:36:58Yes and no.
00:36:59Did you read the papers?
00:37:00Was it anybody I know?
00:37:02One of them was.
00:37:03I'm afraid to guess.
00:37:06How does it feel to be a free woman?
00:37:09Just the same.
00:37:10Where will I meet you, Dave?
00:37:12The new place.
00:37:14Take good care of yourself, honey.
00:37:44Good to see you, baby.
00:38:12Tell me what happened, honey.
00:38:17I guess we had a little more excitement than we planned.
00:38:20As long as you're here, that's all I care about.
00:38:22I brought a little something back with me.
00:38:25Sort of a souvenir.
00:38:26Well.
00:38:27Pretty, aren't they?
00:38:41These are the prettiest pictures I've ever seen.
00:38:43Yeah, and there's an awful lot of them, too.
00:38:45You certainly made up well with your end of the deal.
00:38:48As a matter of fact, that was the only end of the deal.
00:38:51Don't tell me there wasn't a split.
00:38:52We planned to have one.
00:38:54We just didn't seem to get around to it.
00:38:56And you know, I completely forgot to give Mapes my forwarding address.
00:39:00Who's Mapes?
00:39:01One of your partners?
00:39:02Yeah, you might say he's my only remaining partner.
00:39:06I sure feel sorry for him.
00:39:09Yeah.
00:39:10I bet your little heart is breaking.
00:39:12Well, here's to money.
00:39:16And time to spend it.
00:39:22Too bad Betty won't be around for the big payoff, huh?
00:39:25Yeah.
00:39:26Yeah, isn't it?
00:39:29What's the matter, honey?
00:39:30You look worried.
00:39:31We've got to be awful careful.
00:39:32No.
00:39:33They've got nothing on me, but you might have a few uninvited guests, the kind that wear
00:39:38badges.
00:39:39You mean they might check up on me through Benny?
00:39:41They probably will.
00:39:43I can't risk seeing you anymore till we leave town together.
00:39:45When do you get through with the theater?
00:39:46Two weeks.
00:39:47I have to get them notice.
00:39:48Don't.
00:39:49Wait till the last minute.
00:39:50I'll tell you when.
00:39:51I hate to say this, but you better start getting used to being lonesome.
00:40:10Hi, Lieutenant.
00:40:13Here's the stuff you wanted to see.
00:40:16Criminal record of the late Benjamin McBride, now cooling his heels in the county morgue.
00:40:21Meet Benny.
00:40:22Age 35.
00:40:23Born in Seattle.
00:40:24Grand theft daughter.
00:40:25Born in Portland.
00:40:26Robbery warehouse.
00:40:27Two priors.
00:40:28Same city.
00:40:29Warrant issued.
00:40:30San Diego.
00:40:31Assault with deadly weapon.
00:40:32Suspect.
00:40:33If you want the rest of the stuff, we'll be here all night.
00:40:34Spare me.
00:40:35You'll be interested in this, too.
00:40:37Willie Mace Foster, before he was air conditioned.
00:40:41Well, that's two out of the running.
00:40:43This one's still running.
00:40:45Albert Mapes, alias Rocky.
00:40:47Benny's sidekick.
00:40:48Foster's pal.
00:40:49They served time together.
00:40:50Worked on jobs together.
00:40:51He'd be worth questioning.
00:40:55Okay.
00:40:56Send out an all points on him.
00:40:57Pick him up right away.
00:40:58You don't seem very pleased, Lieutenant.
00:41:00I thought my hunch on Mapes was pretty good.
00:41:02If you want to call an obvious conclusion a hunch, that's your business.
00:41:05Lieutenant, I figured...
00:41:06Look, Sonny, these are petty hoodlums.
00:41:08It's Benny Foster, Mapes.
00:41:10A job like this was over their heads.
00:41:12They need somebody to think for them.
00:41:14That somebody's our fourth man.
00:41:16Yeah, I guess you're right.
00:41:17But he's a complete blank.
00:41:20Yeah, he's liable to remain one unless we get lucky.
00:41:23Start with Benny.
00:41:26Local boy, huh?
00:41:27Yes, sir.
00:41:30Let's check some of these addresses.
00:41:36Aged in a glass bourbon.
00:41:39These friends of his, how many would you say there were?
00:41:41Couldn't say.
00:41:42This last week, the place was full of them.
00:41:45Talking and drinking till all hours.
00:41:47Hey, Lieutenant.
00:41:48Can you step in here a minute, please?
00:41:51Looks like Benny really was living.
00:41:54You're a loving baby.
00:41:55Nice, huh?
00:41:58Ever see her around here?
00:42:00No.
00:42:01Never seen any women here.
00:42:03Theatrical photos should be easy to trace.
00:42:05You can look at that.
00:42:07What's the matter with you?
00:42:10I'm just saying...
00:42:12I'm sorry, but I didn't come to talk to you.
