00:04:09Governor Mallinson?
00:04:15I'm glad you got here, Mr. Hendricks.
00:04:17Nobody saw you, I hope.
00:04:18I don't believe so, sir.
00:04:19Good.
00:04:20Gentlemen, this is Mr. Richard Hendricks.
00:04:22Our host, the state's attorney general, Mr. Whitmore.
00:04:25It's a pleasure, sir.
00:04:26Glad to meet you, Mr. Hendricks.
00:04:27My name is Hughes.
00:04:28Mr. Hughes?
00:04:28Our commissioner of Metropolitan Police.
00:04:31Won't you sit over here, Mr. Hendricks?
00:04:32Let me take your hat.
00:04:33What can I get you?
00:04:34Oh, a little ginger ale, if you please.
00:04:36Right.
00:04:37You know, Hendricks, all this secrecy may seem a little ridiculous to you, but you realize,
00:04:43of course, your identity must not go beyond the three of us in this room.
00:04:48It's only fair to warn you that our two previous investigators fared rather badly.
00:04:53We found one of them with enough lead in him to start a pipe factory.
00:04:56The other simply disappeared.
00:04:59Thanks for warning me.
00:05:01Oh, thank you, sir.
00:05:02You're welcome.
00:05:02Well, gentlemen, I left Washington in such a hurry that I wasn't given a very complete
00:05:10briefing on your particular problem.
00:05:12But offhand, I would say the trouble is in your parole board.
00:05:15During the past six months, prisoners of such low character have been paroled.
00:05:20I now suspect criminal conspiracy.
00:05:22Well, do you appoint the parole board, Governor?
00:05:25Yes, I do.
00:05:27Well, why not replace them?
00:05:28You see, those appointments are made for a period of six years.
00:05:32And nobody, not even the governor himself, can remove a board member for any reason other
00:05:35than proven malfeasance of office.
00:05:38I see.
00:05:40That kind of ties things up, doesn't it?
00:05:43Well, gentlemen, I've been figuring how to go about this investigation.
00:05:48Well, forgive me for pacing, Governor.
00:05:49I think better this way.
00:05:52As I say, I've been figuring how to go about this investigation, and I've come to the conclusion
00:05:55that I must pose as a parole violator.
00:05:58Oh, incidentally, does the name Richard Murdoch sound familiar to you?
00:06:03Richard Murdoch, he was in that payroll stick-up.
00:06:06His last job was the Milberg Trust Company hold-up.
00:06:08Oh, yes, I remember now.
00:06:11Well, Murdoch was paroled and then quietly skipped the country.
00:06:15So quietly, in fact, that not even the grapevine has the information as yet.
00:06:19And you propose to assume the identity of Murdoch.
00:06:22That's right.
00:06:23Only I'll call myself Rick Carson, since Murdoch naturally would be using an alias.
00:06:28Now, as Murdoch, alias Rick Carson, I must become friendly with someone who has been through
00:06:34the parole mill in order to find out how his parole was engineered.
00:06:38Have you anyone in mind?
00:06:40No, but it should be someone whose parole was obviously bought.
00:06:43I figured that if someone pays for a parole, someone must receive the money.
00:06:49While you're working undercover as Richard Murdoch or...
00:06:53Rick Carson.
00:06:54Carson.
00:06:56You will have to avoid any contact with the police,
00:07:00even in an emergency.
00:07:01Here's my private telephone number, where you can reach me any time, day or night.
00:07:13Metropolitan 6267.
00:07:16Metropolitan 6267.
00:07:19I'll remember it.
00:07:20Do, uh, do you have anyone coming up for parole who fits our special requirement?
00:07:28There certainly is.
00:07:29Convict by the name of Harry Palmer.
00:07:31Uh-huh.
00:07:32And when is the next parole board meeting?
00:07:34Uh, let's see, uh, next Tuesday at the state prison.
00:07:38Next Tuesday at the state prison.
00:07:43Let me see.
00:07:44You're now serving time for attempted murder, Palmer.
00:07:51Do you have anything to say about that?
00:07:54Yeah, it was a phony rap.
00:07:56A lot of things about my trial smell plenty bad.
00:07:58So does your police record.
00:08:00Do you think you've learned your lesson during your time in prison?
00:08:03I sure have, ma'am.
00:08:05I found out that crime don't pay off.
00:08:07Besides, I realize the things I've done ain't fair to Glenda.
00:08:10She's my wife.
00:08:11If you are paroled, will you conscientiously try to live a clean and decent life?
00:08:17Sure.
00:08:18You can back on that, Reverend.
00:08:22You think you can earn a living?
00:08:24Honestly, I mean.
00:08:25You bet.
00:08:26I'm promised a job of chauffeur to Miss Dumont.
00:08:29She owns a pastime club.
00:08:30It's all my application there.
00:08:32If you'll give me this one more chance, I promise I'll never step off the straight and narrow again.
00:08:36Why, he isn't sincere.
00:08:38He's merely playing on our sympathies.
00:08:41All right, Palmer, you may return to your duties.
00:08:43You'll be notified by the warden of the action of this board.
00:08:48And I feel in my heart that Palmer is sincere.
00:09:04The poor man has never had a fair chance to rebuild his ruined life.
00:09:08Therefore, for the wife's sake as well as his, I favor paroling him.
00:09:12And what about you, Mr. Jones?
00:09:16It seems to me that keeping a man behind bars when he can earn a living is a needless waste of taxpayers' money.
00:09:22I vote for his parole.
00:09:25And your decision, Reverend?
00:09:26As you well know, I usually bend over backwards to give the misguided unfortunates a chance.
00:09:34But in the case of Harry Palmer, my conscience compels me to oppose his parole.
00:09:41And your decision, Mr. Perkins?
00:09:43Palmer deliberately broke the law.
00:09:45Not once, but many times.
00:09:47Freeing a man like Palmer makes a travesty of justice.
00:09:50I am positively against paroling him.
00:09:52Well, it seems we're evenly divided.
00:09:55Two for and two against Palmer's parole.
00:09:58Consequently, as chairman of this board, it becomes my duty to cast a deciding vote.
00:10:04A decision like this must come from the heart as well as the mind.
00:10:08It must be tempered with humanity and understanding.
00:10:11I watched Palmer when he made his plea, and I am convinced of his sincerity.
00:10:16In view of this, I must cast my vote with Mrs. Prescott and Mr. Jones in favor of Palmer's parole.
00:10:22This is an outrage, Holiday.
00:10:24At least a half a dozen times in the past few months have done the same thing.
00:10:28I just don't understand.
00:10:29I'm entitled to my vote the same as you, Mr. Perkins.
00:10:34Now, Palmer will have served his minimum sentence on the 22nd of this month.
00:10:38His parole will become effective on that date.
00:10:43I learned that Palmer's wife, Glenda, was working as a waitress at the pastime club.
00:10:49So I decided to hang around.
00:10:53I'll delete that hang around.
00:10:55So I decided to drop around to the club to look the situation over.
00:11:01The pastime club proved to be a not-too-popular competition.
00:11:31It's a combination gin mill and cheap cafe.
00:11:34A hangout for a lot of undesirable characters.
00:11:37May I take your order, sir?
00:11:55Can't make up my mind.
00:11:57I'm a little undecided between a hamburger and a ham sandwich.
00:12:00Take the ham sandwich.
00:12:02You got a deal.
00:12:03Coffee, too?
00:12:04Yes, Black, please.
00:12:17It's quite a place you got here.
00:12:19Do you own it?
00:12:20You must be new in town.
00:12:22I only work here.
00:12:23Jojo Dumont owns the place.
00:12:25Oh.
00:12:25Well, then Mr. Dumont's got a nice place here.
00:12:28Miss Jojo Dumont.
00:12:29In fact, there she is now.
00:12:42I learned from Glenda that the owner of the place was Jojo Dumont, a woman of striking personality
00:12:49who had her own apartment in the club.
00:12:59One group of hangers-on seemed to be tied in with Jojo.
00:13:03It was difficult to find out how.
00:13:06They were quite bold about it.
00:13:08The tie-in was a lucrative sideline which Jojo operated, an illegal punchboard racket.
00:13:16The three salesmen were Blackie Olsen, Frank Mitchell, and Kid Redman.
00:13:22They sold to the cooperative customers who were always glad to make a dishonest dollar.
00:13:26Duke Vigili, another of Jojo's willing workers, spent most of his spare time trying to cheat a slot machine.
00:13:36During his working hours, he called on the less cooperative prospects.
00:13:40For these, he had three convincing arguments.
00:13:43Two hard fists and a .45 caliber revolver.
00:13:48The straw boss of the outfit, Charlie Newton, dignified the job by calling himself manager.
00:13:53He tried to appear a legitimate businessman.
00:13:57But the only thing legitimate about Newton was a long police and prison record.
00:14:04Such were evidently the pals of Harry Palmer.
00:14:07They didn't trust me from the very first.
00:14:10However, during the two weeks until Palmer's parole,
00:14:14I managed to strike up a casual acquaintance.
00:14:21Never mind, Cream.
00:14:23I understand you've been around a little, Carson.
00:14:29A little.
00:14:30Here and there.
00:14:32Stick around for a while?
00:14:33Maybe.
00:14:34All depends.
00:14:35On what?
00:14:37Maybe it depends on you, Newton.
00:14:38You run the journey.
00:14:39I thought you might have something in mind.
00:14:41Not a thing.
00:14:42Hiya, boy.
00:14:43Besides, I'm only the manager.
00:14:45I don't own the place.
00:14:47Miss Dumont does all the hiring and firing.
00:14:49Uh-huh.
00:14:49Well, I guess I'll have to make it my business to get acquainted with Miss Dumont.
00:14:55Oh, that did it.
00:14:57Gin.
00:14:58That's three games.
00:14:59Never saw such luck.
00:15:01Ah, lucked up.
00:15:01You play like a dope, kid.
00:15:03Am I right, Duke?
00:15:04You always play like a dope.
00:15:05Yeah, you always play.
00:15:07Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh.
00:15:08Five more.
00:15:09Fifteen dollars.
00:15:11I'll take you on, Carson.
00:15:13Okay, Mitchell.
00:15:13Deal.
00:15:15What do you think of this mug, Carson?
00:15:17I haven't decided yet.
00:15:18Got something in your mind, Duke?
00:15:19Yeah.
00:15:20Something very interesting.
00:15:21That'll keep.
00:15:25Kidding aside, though, I would like to make a connection.
00:15:27What time?
00:15:28Oh, I'm not particular.
00:15:30I like the climate here.
00:15:31It's good for my health.
00:15:33What is your racket, Carson?
00:15:35Oh, anything that pays off.
00:15:37Hey, Frank.
00:15:38Yeah.
00:15:39Harry Palmer's back.
00:15:41Come to JoJo's apartment.
00:15:42I'll be right there.
00:15:44Keep the prize warm.
00:15:45I'll be right back.
00:15:46Yeah, I'll stack the deck while you're gone.
00:15:47I'll bet you would.
00:15:54I would have given a lot to know what was going on in JoJo's room.
00:15:58I found out later from statements of various people concerned.
00:16:03Sure looks natural.
00:16:04Just like old times, right?
00:16:05Sure, thank you.
00:16:06It's all right.
00:16:06Feeling better, Glenda?
00:16:07They look wonderful.
00:16:09She seems like a hundred years since I saw you, darling.
00:16:11Yeah, me too.
00:16:13That's what I've been waiting for.
00:16:15Frank will be here in a minute.
00:16:17Well, this calls for a celebration.
00:16:19How about fixing some drinks, Blackie?
00:16:20Okay, JoJo.
00:16:21Sure I like her.
00:16:23You look right in the fence there, kid.
00:16:25They treat you good up there?
00:16:28What's on your mind, Charlie?
00:16:31How long are you going to keep Palmer on as a chauffeur, JoJo?
00:16:33Are you kidding?
00:16:35What do you think I got him out for?
00:16:37Chips are a dime a dozen.
00:16:39The boys are all right fixing the boards.
00:16:42Palmer's the best collector we ever had.
00:16:43As long as he keeps his nose clean.
00:16:46Hmm.
00:16:46Is he having fun over here at all?
00:16:47The next time he gets in trouble pulling off side plays, I'll let him rot in the pen.
00:16:55Hiya, Harry.
00:16:56How goes it?
00:16:56Thanks.
00:16:57Great to see you, old son of a gun.
00:16:59Papa's home, huh, baby?
00:17:00How does it feel?
00:17:01Feels grand.
00:17:02Glenda's been in a tough spot.
00:17:04But she came through okay.
00:17:06Yeah, but it's a lucky thing you got the parole just now.
00:17:08What do you mean by that, Craig?
00:17:11Oh, nothing.
00:17:11But there's been a guy named Carson hanging around the past few weeks and he's been making
00:17:14a play for her.
00:17:15That's not true, Harry.
00:17:17Duke's the one who's been on the make ever since you went away.
00:17:20Me?
00:17:20Make a play for you?
00:17:21Ah, you're crazy.
00:17:22That'll be enough, Duke.
00:17:25I haven't met this character Carson yet.
00:17:26But I can tell you one thing.
00:17:29Glenda's been absolutely on the up and up.
00:17:31I knew that, but thanks for telling me, Jojo.
00:17:33Cork popped, folks.
00:17:34Help yourselves.
00:17:35All in the house.
00:17:36I mean on Jojo.
00:17:37This bourbon?
00:17:38Uh-huh.
00:17:39Thanks, Blackie.
00:17:41Here's to you, sweetheart.
00:17:42Here's to us.
00:17:45What's Duke beefing about?
00:17:46He doesn't like Rick Carson.
00:17:48But I can truthfully say Carson never got fresher.
00:17:51Handed me a line.
00:17:52Forget it, sweetheart.
00:17:53Run along and change your dress.
00:17:55But hurry back.
00:17:57I won't be long.
00:17:59How do you feel, Harry?
00:18:00Pretty good.
00:18:01Hey, listen, Harry.
00:18:02I didn't mean any slur on Glenda, but...
00:18:04Forget it, Duke.
00:18:05Well, I've been keeping my mouth shut because I haven't got proof yet.
00:18:08But as sure as I'm standing here, that guy Carson's either a copper or a stoolie.
00:18:12I know every cop in the state.
00:18:14Well, he might be one of J. Edgar Hoover's boys.
00:18:17Carson's no more FBI than I am.
00:18:19That's all we need around here, a copper.
00:18:22Especially when business is just beginning to boom.
00:18:24He lives at the Colvin Hotel right down the street.
00:18:27Why don't we search his room?
00:18:29There must be something around to tip us off.
00:18:31I can get in.
00:18:31I know the night clerk.
00:18:33Sure.
00:18:34The kid in Blackie could investigate.
00:18:36Then we'd know exactly how things stand.
00:18:38J.B.I., that's me.
00:18:39JoJo's Bureau of Investigation.
00:18:41Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:18:44Hello, Mr. Carson.
00:18:45Oh, hello, Glenda.
00:18:47Hey, this looks like the beginning of a second honeymoon.
00:18:50You like when you dress?
00:18:51Pretty sharp.
00:18:52I hope my husband will like it.
00:18:53I'm sure he will.
00:18:54Oh, here he is now.
00:18:56Honey, this is Rick Carson.
00:18:58Glad to see you, Palmer.
00:19:00Glenda was telling me about you.
00:19:01I was telling Harry how polite you've been.
00:19:04That's a great deal more than I can say about most of the customers.
00:19:06Oh, thank you, Glenda.
00:19:07That's a real compliment.
00:19:09See you around.
00:19:10Glad to.
00:19:11Anytime.
00:19:11Anytime.
00:19:11Good luck to you both.
00:19:16How long will it take to search Carson's room?
00:19:18Oh, it won't take over an hour.
00:19:20Only the clerk doesn't come on till 8 o'clock.
00:19:22Sometimes maybe a little later.
00:19:25Suppose I arrange to keep him occupied between 8 and 10.
00:19:30You haven't even met, Carson.
00:19:31So, you'll introduce me.
00:19:35I think I can keep him interested for a couple of hours.
00:19:37Oh, no more of those fast turns, please.
00:19:57This is Station WSNO.
00:20:00The time, 20 minutes before 10 o'clock.
00:20:02We continue with...
00:20:04What time is it?
00:20:06I just announced it.
00:20:0620 minutes at 10.
00:20:07And I think I'd better be going, Jojo, before I wear out my welcome.
00:20:10Oh, no, no, no.
00:20:12See, you're still young.
00:20:15Besides, I think you're swell.
00:20:18I think you're a wonderful guy.
00:20:20Really.
00:20:21If you think I'm swell, you ought to meet my pal, Marty.
00:20:24There's a real guy for you.
00:20:25Oh, I bet he ain't half as nice as you.
00:20:29What's his name?
00:20:30Marty.
00:20:31Marty Cooper.
00:20:32Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:20:32He said that.
00:20:34It's a nice name.
00:20:36Marty Cooper.
00:20:38Well, go ahead.
00:20:39Call him up, Tom.
00:20:40Come on over.
00:20:41Oh, well, I couldn't do that.
00:20:42You see, Marty isn't in town.
00:20:44Oh, that's a shame.
00:20:46When's he coming back?
00:20:47Well, now that all depends.
00:20:51Confidentially, Jojo.
00:20:52Marty's in prison.
00:20:53That's a shame.
00:20:57Poor Marty.
00:20:59Locked up in the pen.
00:21:00Yeah.
00:21:01Well, forget I said anything.
00:21:03I talk too much.
00:21:04Oh, you can trust Jojo, honey.
00:21:07Yes, sir.
00:21:10Oh, fix another drink.
00:21:12I'll be right back.
00:21:13Yeah.
00:21:13Oh, hello, Mary.
00:21:23Oh, I'm so glad to hear from you.
00:21:25How have you been getting along?
00:21:27Now, listen, Jojo.
00:21:29We got the lowdown on that bird castle, and we're on our way back.
00:21:33You'd better get rid of him.
00:21:35Oh, oh, that's fine.
00:21:37I'll do that.
00:21:38Yeah.
00:21:39Goodbye, Mary.
00:21:45You don't have to be a G-man to know that that was Mary.
00:21:49Hmm.
00:21:50Oh, honey, you were listening.
00:21:55Yes.
00:21:56Oh, no.
00:21:57I don't want any more tonight.
00:21:58Uh-huh.
00:22:00I can feel it coming.
00:22:01I'm about to be tossed out.
00:22:02You don't mind, do you?
00:22:04I'm beginning to get a terrific headache.
00:22:07I'll probably have one in the morning, too.
00:22:09Want an aspirin?
00:22:10No, thanks.
00:22:10Just my hat.
00:22:17Well, good night, Jojo.
00:22:18It was a swell evening.
00:22:19I enjoyed it.
00:22:33What'd you find out?
00:22:34Something very interesting.
00:22:35We got the dope on them, all right.
00:22:37Oh, good.
00:22:43That is interesting.
00:22:49Hiya, Rick.
00:22:50Hi.
00:22:51How you doing?
00:22:52How's everything?
00:22:54What's up, Duke?
00:22:55I know.
00:22:56Oh, hello, boys.
00:23:03Well, let's hear it.
00:23:04What's the dope on Carson?
00:23:05What do you think of that?
00:23:07His name ain't even Carson.
00:23:12Richard Murdoch.
00:23:13Age 32.
00:23:14Date of birth.
00:23:16I'm 15, 16.
00:23:17Detroit, Michigan.
00:23:18I'm a self-doubt brown.
00:23:19Occupation mechanic.
00:23:22Yeah, it had me puzzled for a minute or two, but then it came to me.
00:23:26This guy Murdoch and a pal of his, a fellow named Monty something.
00:23:29Monty Cooper?
00:23:29Yeah, that's it.
00:23:30Monty Cooper.
00:23:31Well, anyway, Carson or Murdoch and his pal Cooper pulled that Milberg Trust Company holdup about a year and a half or so ago.
00:23:36Yeah, we found some newspaper clippings about that robbery.
00:23:38You had them hidden between the cushions of a chair.
00:23:40You hadn't figured on your J.B.I.
00:23:43Good for you.
00:23:44Well, I guess I was all wet about Carson being a copper or a stoolie.
00:23:47Why don't you give up, Duke?
00:23:49You're always beefing about something.
00:23:51Okay, okay, but don't say I didn't warn you guys if something goes wrong.
00:23:57Now, get this picture.
00:23:58This is the Milberg Trust Company, a real old broken-down joint.
00:24:01There's the flight of stairs where we came up.
00:24:04This is the vault here, a real old-fashioned can.
00:24:08Those stairs made it a little tough because we had to back down them and we couldn't see who was coming up anyway.
00:24:12We come in here and there's all kinds of desks and places where you write out checks and so forth.
00:24:16There's quite a few people.
00:24:18Well, I heard them all over here in the corner.
00:24:20Keep them all together.
00:24:22Monty takes the cashier, forces them in over here, makes them open the vault.
00:24:26We open this little old-fashioned can and what do you think we get?
00:24:2950 G's.
00:24:30We back out of the joint and make for the car.
00:24:3350 G's?
00:24:35Split two ways?
00:24:35Not bad.
00:24:38Mm-hmm.
00:24:39You see, Monty and I don't go in for big mobs.
00:24:42Hey, maybe you saw Monty up there.
00:24:44He was doing a heavy stretch.
00:24:46Yeah, I saw him almost every day.
00:24:48I talked to him a couple of times.
00:24:50But he didn't get overly friendly with anyone.
00:24:53Yeah, that's Monty, all right.
00:24:55Well, Harry, I'll tell you.
00:24:57I got another big job on tap.
00:25:00But I gotta get Monty out of prison before I can pull it off.
00:25:03Hmm, that's tough to do unless you know the ropes.
00:25:06Besides, it takes two grand.
00:25:08How do you know?
00:25:10I just know.
00:25:12Harry, I figure naturally you just getting out, you could kind of tell me how your parole was engineered.
00:25:18Now I'm willing to cut you in for a third and I'll pay all expenses.
00:25:20Yeah, I don't know.
00:25:23What's the matter?
00:25:24Ain't my dough as good as the next guy's?
00:25:26Oh, it ain't, Patrick.
00:25:28Look, I'll let you in on a little secret.
00:25:31Maybe you noticed the boys got kind of friendly the last couple of days.
00:25:33So?
00:25:34Well, they checked on you.
00:25:35And you're okay with most of them.
00:25:37But Duke's still holding out.
00:25:39He ain't satisfied you're on the up and up.
00:25:40Well, what's that gotta do with me buying a parole through you?
00:25:44It's got a lot to do with it.
00:25:45But, JoJo's the first step.
00:25:47And unless she's sure of her ground, no dice.
00:25:51All right, so there's no dice with JoJo.
00:25:53And who's the next step?
00:25:55Now, wait a minute.
00:25:57Not so fast.
00:25:59I'm no squealer, Rick.
00:26:00Oh, but you do know who the higher up is.
00:26:03Maybe.
00:26:05I ain't saying.
00:26:22Harry, let me ask you another question.
00:26:28Who put up the money for your parole?
00:26:31Why, JoJo put it up.
00:26:33Because the dealer's on to pay her back.
00:26:34Oh, so she didn't put it up.
00:26:36She just advanced it to you.
00:26:38Yeah, that's right, but...
00:26:40Well, why cut in JoJo when you can easily go around her and pick up a couple of G's for yourself?
00:26:44All right, later on, if you want to cut her in, that's your business.
00:26:48You might have something there, Rick.
00:26:50At least it's worth it.
00:26:53Ponder's home.
00:26:55Don't say anything to Ponder.
00:26:58Hello, darling.
00:26:58Hiya, baby.
00:27:00Oh, I have retired.
00:27:01We had such a busy day at the club.
00:27:03Rick, you're not leaving.
00:27:04Yeah, I think I'd better be gone.
00:27:05Why don't you stay for dinner?
00:27:07It won't be very fancy, but you're welcome.
00:27:08Yeah, why not, Rick?
00:27:10Maybe some other time.
00:27:11You run along and get some dinner started, Donnie.
00:27:13I'll come in and help you in a minute, huh?
00:27:14Okay.
00:27:15Sorry you won't stay, Rick.
00:27:21Can you get the two grand?
00:27:22Harry, whenever I need a few G's, I don't let anything stand in my way.
00:27:28Get the dope.
00:27:29I called the commissioner and told him I was all set to buy a parole for a pal of mine named Monty Cooper.
00:27:54But I had to have $2,000.
00:27:58He agreed.
00:28:00But as the boys were somewhat suspicious of me, and in order to gain their confidence, it ought to look like I had pulled a stick up.
00:28:07Go ahead, read it.
00:28:11Philanthropist.
00:28:12Philanthropist.
00:28:15Philan...
00:28:15Well, anyway, Rob.
00:28:18Bandit ignores jewels.
00:28:21Gets $2,000 cash.
00:28:24Neil Ingersoll, civic leader, was held up last night and relieved of $2,000 cash by a bandit who claimed he was not interested in jewels.
00:28:36Ingersoll, returning home at a late hour from an auction of antiques...
00:28:44Antiques.
00:28:45What's that, deaf?
00:28:46...which he had been attending, stepped out of his car outside his garage to find himself looking into the muzzle of a gun.
00:28:56That must have been Carson.
00:28:57What makes you think so?
00:28:59I don't think I know.
00:29:00The word passed through the grapevine that I'd pull that job.
00:29:07And the boys who hung out around the pastime club immediately started to accept me as one of the boys, as it were.
00:29:15Well, I turned over $500 to Palmer and went with him to make the contact for Cooper's parole.
00:29:22When we reached the lobby of an office building, Palmer told me I couldn't go upstairs with him.
00:29:34This was disappointing.
00:29:36But I heard him tell the elevator operator to take him to the fifth floor.
00:29:40So I checked the names of all the tenants on that particular floor.
00:29:43There were over 20.
00:29:44Is Miss Dumont in their quarters?
00:29:56Yeah.
00:30:00Good jerk.
00:30:04Hello, Bonnie.
00:30:05Hello, Jojo.
00:30:08What's on your mind, darling?
00:30:09You seemed as cross as a bear when you phoned to say you were coming over.
00:30:17Somebody's talking too much around here.
00:30:19You mean me?
00:30:20I don't know whether it's you or Newton, but one of you is, and I don't like it.
00:30:23As a matter of fact, I won't stand for it.
00:30:25You've no reason to talk to me like this.
00:30:29I'm sorry, my dear.
00:30:31I don't mean to be discourteous, but I'm worried.
00:30:33For you as well as for myself.
00:30:34Just a little while ago, one of Newton's boys came over to my office and demanded that
00:30:39I get a parole for a fellow named Monty Cooper.
00:30:43Monty Cooper?
00:30:44That's the name he gave me, Monty Cooper.
00:30:50But Carson or Murdoch, whatever his name is, he knows nothing about our parole arrangements.
00:30:57Who said anything about Carson or Murdoch?
00:31:00The fellow who came to see me was Harry Palmer.
00:31:03He's double-crossing you, Jojo.
00:31:05I can't believe it.
00:31:08You can't, huh?
00:31:10Well, less than an hour ago, he laid $500 on my desk and gave me a long spiel about knowing
00:31:15that I was your lawyer and that you came to see me any time you wanted to get anybody
00:31:19out of the pen.
00:31:21Naturally, I told him that he got his numbers crossed and I knew absolutely nothing about
00:31:25buying a parole.
00:31:28Did that shut him up?
00:31:29For the moment.
00:31:30But he left the money and suggested that I think it over.
00:31:35Well, anyway, here it is.
00:31:38Buy yourself that grace that you've been talking so much about.
00:31:40Thanks.
00:31:44I don't know what to say, darling.
00:31:47I have mentioned our connections to a soul.
00:31:50Of course, the boys know that you do handle my legitimate legal matters, but...
00:31:54The important point is how Palmer or any one of them know about my connection with the
00:31:57parole board.
00:31:59It's dynamite.
00:32:01If one of them should talk out of term, there's no telling what might happen.
00:32:05You don't need to tell me.
00:32:06I'll talk to Charlie Newton about it.
00:32:12He'll throw a scare into Palmer.
00:32:13He won't forget.
00:32:19More aces and two.
00:32:21Uh-huh.
00:32:24Harry Palmer just pulled a double cross on Jojo.
00:32:27Yeah?
00:32:28What'd he do?
00:32:29That's my business.
00:32:31Jojo says she doesn't want any rough stuff.
00:32:34But I'm running the boys, not Jojo.
00:32:35Yeah, but Jojo just got Harry out.
00:32:38So what?
00:32:39You're just as good a collector as Harry ever was.
00:32:41Huh.
00:32:42I should say I am.
00:32:44You name it.
00:32:45We'll do it.
00:32:46Okay.
00:32:48Tell you what we'll do.
00:32:50I'll call Harry on the phone, tell him to call me back from the corner drugstore.
00:32:54When he rings up here, I'll tell him to skip it, that I changed my mind.
00:32:58Now, when he's walking back to his house...
00:33:05Hiya, Harry.
00:33:13Hi, Blackie.
00:33:14What's cooking?
00:33:15You'll find out.
00:33:16The killing of Palmer completely...
00:33:46upset my plans, as I had now lost my only link to tie in Jojo with the higher-ups in
00:33:53the parole conspiracy.
00:33:54Well, how's the leg today?
00:33:56Oh, much better, thank you.
00:33:57Look.
00:33:57Take it easy.
00:33:58Okay.
00:33:58Okay.
00:34:02I'm a coffee lover.
00:34:04Oh, I see.
00:34:05Well, I'll come back for that later.
00:34:07All right, fine.
00:34:07Hunting around for...
00:34:14I'll delete that hunting around.
00:34:16Make it.
00:34:17Fumbling about.
00:34:19Fumbling about for a new lead.
00:34:22I looked up the grief-stricken and embittered Glenda, pretending to her that I wanted to avenge
00:34:28her husband's murder, which had cost me $500.
00:34:33Well, I showed her the list of tenants occupying the fifth floor of the building to which Palmer
00:34:38and I had gone to, and only one name, a first name, sounded familiar to Glenda.
00:34:46And that first name was Barney, B-A-R-N-E-Y, Barney.
00:34:52Now, it belonged to a man whose full name was Barney Rodescu, R-O-D-E-S-C-U, who was a
00:35:01lawyer and sort of a man about town.
00:35:05Well, I decided to find out if he was the contact between the crook on the parole board
00:35:10and Jojo Dumont.
00:35:16You know, in a way, Palmer getting bumped off like that kind of put me in the spot.
00:35:19How come?
00:35:20Well, we, uh, we had a little deal together.
00:35:24You see, I figure Palmer just getting parole like that, he'd know the ropes.
00:35:28Remember me telling you about a pal of mine, Monty Cooper?
00:35:30Well, it wasn't as tight as I seemed that night, you know.
00:35:33Yeah, I, uh, I didn't think you were.
00:35:36You say, uh, Palmer was trying to help you get a parole for Cooper?
00:35:40Well, I didn't exactly say that, but that's the general idea.
00:35:44Go ahead, I can listen while I'm typing.
00:35:46Of course, you, uh, you know I had to pull a little job to get the money for Monty's parole.
00:35:52You mean the, uh, Ingersoll robbery?
00:35:55I don't know anybody named Ingersoll.
00:35:58No, but the point is, Jojo, I'd, uh, I'd like to get Monty out of the prison as fast as I can.
00:36:03You know, you should have come to me in the first place, Rick.
00:36:10You?
00:36:11Mm-hmm.
00:36:13I'm serious.
00:36:15I'd like to help my friends.
00:36:16Besides, I, uh, I have a lot of influence in the right places.
00:36:22Mm-hmm.
00:36:23Of course, we'll need cash.
00:36:25Yeah, I know.
00:36:25Two thousand dollars.
00:36:27Palmer told me.
00:36:29Did you, uh, did you give Palmer any money?
00:36:32Yeah.
00:36:33Yeah, I gave him five hundred dollars.
00:36:37And for you, here's another thousand.
00:36:40Thanks.
00:36:42I, uh, like to have a receipt.
00:36:45Oh, sure.
00:36:54There's your receipt.
00:36:56Hey, you know, that's not bad.
00:36:57Of course, it's a little expensive at a thousand dollars a throw, but it's not bad.
00:37:02And, uh, what about the balance?
00:37:05The balance you get the day Monty's parole from prison.
00:37:09It's a deal.
00:37:10Well, I guess that about winds up what I have to say.
00:37:17From here on, my future's in your hands.
00:37:21All I ask is that you give me a break.
00:37:25You needn't worry about not getting a fair break from this parole board.
00:37:28All right, you may return to your duties, and you'll be informed of our decision later.
00:37:32Thank you very much, sir.
00:37:36That man should be put away for life.
00:37:38He's an habitual criminal.
00:37:39Why should the state have to support this man for life?
00:37:41That's the wrong attitude.
00:37:42I agree with Mr. Perkins.
00:37:44I'm opposed.
00:37:45The man deserves a chance.
00:37:46Every man deserves a chance.
00:37:49Once again, we seem to be evenly divided, thus making it my duty to cast a deciding vote.
00:37:54And you vote for Cooper to be paroled.
00:37:55I do.
00:37:56Mr. Holliday.
00:37:56It's my privilege.
00:37:58But, Mr. Holliday, it's obvious...
00:37:59It's the chairman's privilege to have his own opinion.
00:38:02The majority vote's in favor of Monty Cooper's parole.
00:38:05He'll be released in two weeks to report for work at the Ainsley Farm at Meadows.
00:38:09I move for adjournment.
00:38:13Because I couldn't understand why anyone would give a job to a multiple loser like Monty Cooper,
00:38:19I decided to check the county assessor's records to find out what I could about Vern Ainsley.
00:38:26From the beginning, I had suspected Ralph Holliday of accepting the bribe to put through the parole.
00:38:35But with the information I had now obtained, I felt certain it was Rodescu who had offered the job on the farm to Monty Cooper.
00:38:43Suspecting the setup, however, was not enough.
00:38:46I still had to obtain the proof.
00:38:48That afternoon, I worked out a strategic plan.
00:38:51Hello.
00:39:12Commissioner.
00:39:14Commissioner, this is Hendricks.
00:39:16That's right.
00:39:18Hmm?
00:39:20Well, yes, naturally, Commissioner, I'm going out to the Ainsley Farm.
00:39:23Oh, incidentally, I told the boys at the pastime club that I would meet Cooper out at the farm.
00:39:28But, Commissioner, there's just one thing, and I hope you won't let me down on this.
00:39:33You see, unless Cooper is picked up at the prison gates when he's released,
00:39:37if he should happen to come out at the Ainsley Farm at the same time I'm there and get one good look at me,
00:39:43well, I'm afraid my career as Murdoch or Carson or Hendricks will come to a very sudden and painful end.
00:39:50Oh, you have nothing to worry about on that score, Hendricks.
00:39:53I've already notified four states of Cooper's impending parole.
00:39:57They'll be right there to arrest him the minute he steps foot outside the prison gates.
00:40:01Fine, Commissioner.

00:42:00uh-huh
00:42:01well tell me does this uh...
00:42:03this rodescu does he come here very often

00:42:17let's kill you carson
00:42:18yeah yeah
00:42:19i hadn't figured on rodescu visiting the farm
00:42:23i realized his presence might have set my plan
00:42:27but i had to take the gamble
00:42:29so i waited until ainsley had disappeared
00:42:32i had brought along an instrument which the commissioner of police had provided
00:42:40and taking advantage of ainsley's absence i decided to make use of it
00:43:02i quickly ascertained that no one else was near
00:43:17i fixed in my mind the details of the room
00:43:20and then found a suitable place in which to conceal the precious instrument
00:43:24it was the latest type of sound recorder
00:43:34once set to operate it needed no further attention
00:43:37since it would automatically start when someone spoke
00:43:40and stop again when the voice concluded
00:43:42it could pick up voice frequencies within a radius of fifty feet
00:43:46and could record continuously for four hours
00:43:49hello get me metropolitan four four two four four

00:46:54Hey, Cooper.
00:46:55We've been waiting for you.
00:46:57Yeah, what for?
00:46:58We want to take you along with us.
00:47:00Who are you and what do you want with me?
00:47:02We're pals of Murdoch.
00:47:03Oh, that's different.
00:47:05Yeah, we're taking you to see him.
00:47:06Oh, no, not me, boys.
00:47:07I'm slated to report to a place called Ainsley's Farm in Meadows.
00:47:10And I've got to go there before I do anything.
00:47:12That's just where we're going.
00:47:14Murdoch's waiting for you there right now.
00:47:15He is?
00:47:16And he's mighty anxious to see you.
00:47:17Well, I'm mighty anxious to see him.
00:47:19Where's your car?
00:47:20Over there.
00:47:20Okay, let's go.
00:47:29Okay.
00:47:29I'm out of town.
00:47:31Okay.
00:47:31Get that out of town.
00:47:33Whistling
00:48:03Oh, I get such a kick out of this place
00:48:15So peaceful
00:48:18Why do you think I keep it, my dear?
00:48:33Oh, Frank, put Miss Dumont's luggage in her room and leave mine in here
00:48:38All right
00:48:38I'll take it, thank you
00:48:45Darling, it's so good to be with you
00:48:49Everything's okay
00:48:54Oh, thank you, Frank
00:48:56I'll look for Bainesville, you'll have some beer on ice
00:48:58Do you like something to eat?
00:49:01No, thanks
00:49:01Just a cup of coffee a little later
00:49:03How about a canter over the countryside?
00:49:06Oh, let's relax for a little while
00:49:07Later, maybe, huh?
00:49:13Do you think the fellows could push enough punch boards
00:49:16To raise, say, an extra $20,000 in the next few weeks?
00:49:20They might
00:49:21By putting a little extra pressure on their customers
00:49:23Then I think they should
00:49:25A powerful anti-racket committee is being organized
00:49:28To run us, among others, out of business
00:49:30And a little extra money wisely spent
00:49:33Might help considerably
00:49:35I'll see if the Charlie Newton starts him out on it Monday morning
00:49:39Good
00:49:40In asking Glenda to send those telegrams to every member of the parole board
00:49:47I assumed that only the one member who was mixed up in the parole conspiracy
00:49:51Would know what was meant by the farm
00:49:53And the signature Barney
00:49:54Well, just at dusk, I had the keen satisfaction of knowing that my plan had worked
00:49:59I had sent those telegrams in the hope of tricking Ralph Holliday into exposing himself
00:50:04Holliday was driving that coupe
00:50:07But instead of trapping one member of the parole board
00:50:11I had caught two
00:50:12But Titus Jones arrived in the car with my primary suspect
00:50:16I wonder who that can be
00:50:30Probably one of your eager beaver clients
00:50:32If it is, I'll throw him out
00:50:34Excuse me, my dear
00:50:37I'll make this short and sweet
00:50:38Come in
00:50:39Well
00:50:43This is a surprise
00:50:45Hello, Ralph
00:50:46Hello, Titus
00:50:47And you gentlemen are quite a ways from home, aren't you?
00:50:51You're not joking
00:50:52Holliday burned up the road getting here
00:50:54Oh, I'm sorry
00:50:55We didn't know
00:50:56Oh, that's quite all right
00:50:57Allow me, my dear
00:50:59Ralph Holliday and Titus Jones
00:51:01Miss Dumont, my fiancée
00:51:03How do you do?
00:51:04You're on the parole board
00:51:05I can finally speak of you
00:51:07Yes, yes, we are, Miss Dumont
00:51:09Prol board, yes
00:51:10Well, sit down, gentlemen
00:51:11Sit down, make yourselves comfortable
00:51:12What brings you out here in such a ferry?
00:51:15Why, uh
00:51:15We came in answer to your telegram
00:51:17My telegram?
00:51:19I didn't know how you
00:51:20What's that?
00:51:21You most certainly did
00:51:22What does it say?
00:51:27Urgent meet me at farm without delay
00:51:29Drop everything else
00:51:31Signed, Barney
00:51:32Somebody must have got onto our parole board deal
00:51:34We'd better clear out
00:51:35Hold on
00:51:36Hold on, there's no use running off half-clock
00:51:38You'd better do a little checking first
00:51:40I wish you would
00:51:41How can you?
00:51:41And make it snappy
00:51:42Hello, operator
00:51:45Give me Ridgway 84428
00:51:47If my secretary's at home
00:51:50We ought to be able to find out pretty quick
00:51:51But it's Saturday
00:51:52She probably has a date
00:51:53Hello?
00:51:54Hello, Miss Bruce
00:51:55Um
00:51:56Did you send any telegrams today
00:51:58To either Titus Jones or Ralph Holliday?
00:52:01You did not
00:52:02Did you authorize anyone else to do so?
00:52:05You didn't, huh?
00:52:07I knew it was bad news
00:52:08The minute I received that message
00:52:09Uh, Miss Bruce
00:52:10I want you to check with Western Union right away
00:52:13And find out if you can
00:52:15Who sent those telegrams
00:52:16And to whose account they were charged
00:52:17Yes
00:52:19Call me back at the farm
00:52:21The moment you have the information
00:52:22Right
00:52:23She'll call me back
00:52:26Someone's on our trail, Barney
00:52:28Have you told anybody
00:52:29About giving Holliday and me the money?
00:52:30Oh, don't be an idiot
00:52:31You don't think I'd tip anybody off
00:52:33That I've been bribing the parole board
00:52:34Maybe Mr. Holliday
00:52:35Or Mr. Jones accidentally
00:52:37Ridiculous
00:52:38That's absurd
00:52:38It could have been that
00:52:40Jackass Palmer you were working for you
00:52:42He only knew the connection
00:52:44Between you and me
00:52:45He knew absolutely nothing
00:52:46Of your time with Holliday and Jones
00:52:48Whatever the answer is
00:52:49I don't like it
00:52:50I'm getting away from here
00:52:51So am I
00:52:51This farmer's poison
00:52:52Just a minute, gentlemen
00:52:53We are remaining right here
00:52:55Until Miss Bruce calls back
00:52:56We are safer here
00:52:57Than anyone else
00:52:58For the time being
00:52:59I was confident
00:53:01The recording machine
00:53:02Was doing its work
00:53:03But to make the record admissible
00:53:05As evidence in court
00:53:06I would have to swear
00:53:08That I had seen the people
00:53:09Inside that room
00:53:10And to identify their voices
00:53:12There was only one way
00:53:13To do this
00:53:14Who can I think?
00:53:18Where can we hide?
00:53:19Relax, gentlemen
00:53:20Come in
00:53:25Oh, I'm sorry to bother you
00:53:30I'm looking for a friend of mine
00:53:31What makes you think he's here?
00:53:32Well, I was told he would be
00:53:34My name is Carson
00:53:35Oh, it's Rick Carson, darling
00:53:37Let him come in
00:53:38You needn't worry about him
00:53:40Come in
00:53:40Hi, Miss Dumas
00:53:47Hello, Rick
00:53:48So are you Rick Carson
00:53:50Or Richard Murdoch?
00:53:52That's right
00:53:52But I don't think
00:53:54I've had the pleasure
00:53:54Who's the friend
00:53:56For whom you're looking?
00:53:57Name is Monty Cooper
00:53:58I was told he was
00:53:59To be paroled today
00:54:00To work on this farm
00:54:01This is Mr. Barney Rodescu
00:54:04Mr. Rodescu
00:54:05Pleasure, sir
00:54:06Mr. Holliday
00:54:07Mr. Holliday
00:54:08Hello
00:54:08Mr. Jones
00:54:09Mr. Jones
00:54:10How do you do?
00:54:10Tell me, Carson
00:54:11How did you get here?
00:54:12I didn't hear you drive up
00:54:13Oh, but I didn't drive up
00:54:15I parked my car down the road
00:54:17Why?
00:54:18Well, I don't like
00:54:19Blinkly explanations, but
00:54:20You can speak freely, Rick
00:54:22Well, you see, folks
00:54:24I'm not exactly on speaking terms
00:54:26With the law
00:54:26And when I saw a couple of cars
00:54:27Parked outside
00:54:28Especially with my friend
00:54:29Monty being wanted
00:54:30In other states
00:54:30Okay
00:54:31I guess you're all right, Carson
00:54:33There's some coffee over there
00:54:34If you want any
00:54:35Help yourself
00:54:36Thank you
00:54:37Hello?
00:54:42Yes, operator
00:54:43Must be my secretary
00:54:45Calling me back
00:54:46Yes, Miss Bruce
00:54:48Now, wait a minute
00:54:54Wait a minute
00:54:56Let me get that
00:54:56The telegram was sent
00:54:59To Mr. Holliday
00:54:59Mrs. Prescott
00:55:01Titus Jones
00:55:01The Reverend Adams
00:55:02And Donald Perkins
00:55:04The entire parole board
00:55:06This is awful
00:55:06It isn't good
00:55:08In just a minute
00:55:09Telegrams were charged
00:55:11To my account
00:55:12And purportedly
00:55:13Telephoned in by Miss Bruce
00:55:14But when she checked
00:55:15But when she checked
00:55:15And raised Cain
00:55:16With Western Union
00:55:17They traced a call
00:55:18Back to
00:55:18What was that number again?
00:55:24Metropolitan
00:55:254-4-2-4-4
00:55:26Did you find out
00:55:27Whose telephone number
00:55:28That was?
00:55:29You couldn't, huh?
00:55:32Well, keep on checking
00:55:33Miss Bruce
00:55:34I know that number
00:55:39You do?
00:55:40Metropolitan
00:55:414-4-2-4-4
00:55:43That's Glenda Palmer's number
00:55:48A dirty little double crosser
00:55:51Does she think she's trying to pull?
00:55:54Something mighty dangerous
00:55:55For all of us
00:55:55If you ask me
00:55:56What was that number
00:55:58At your club again?
00:55:59Ellsworth
00:55:593-6-0-9-7
00:56:01What are you calling there for?
00:56:03Get me Ellsworth
00:56:033-6-0-9-7, please
00:56:05What are you going to do?
00:56:06You'll see
00:56:07Hello?
00:56:09Is Newton there?
00:56:10Let me speak to him
00:56:11Hello?
00:56:15Hello, Dr. Newton
00:56:16This is Dr. Rudescu
00:56:19I want you to call on Glenda Palmer
00:56:22Please, Barney
00:56:23Let's not get in deeper than we are
00:56:24I want you to give her
00:56:26The same treatment
00:56:27That you gave her husband
00:56:28Yes, it is a matter of life and death
00:56:31Thank you, Dr. Newton
00:56:34Killing Glenda isn't going to help
00:56:37I'll get rid of her
00:56:39Or anybody else
00:56:41Who double crosses me
00:56:42Yes, that's right
00:56:45Those states were notified
00:56:47In plenty of time
00:56:48To pick up Cooper
00:56:49On his release from prison
00:56:50Yet the extradition papers
00:56:52Arrived too late to arrest him
00:56:53Any report on Cooper yet, Captain?
00:56:57Hold it a minute
00:56:58He was picked up by three men
00:57:00Who took him away in a car
00:57:01After that, there's no report
00:57:03Well, Cooper must be someplace
00:57:04We've got to prevent him
00:57:06From reaching the Ainsley Farm
00:57:07Go ahead
00:57:09I don't like this setup
00:57:12No trace of Cooper
00:57:13Not a word from Hendricks
00:57:14He should have contacted us
00:57:16Long before this
00:57:17He seems certain
00:57:18He could wind up this investigation
00:57:19Sometime this afternoon
00:57:20Well, if we don't hear
00:57:24From Hendricks pretty quick now
00:57:25I suggest contacting
00:57:26That Palmer girl
00:57:27I'd want that boy
00:57:28To be number three
00:57:29On our list of casualties
00:57:30That's right
00:57:31Hello, Glenda
00:57:54Oh, hello
00:57:56I was expecting somebody else
00:57:59I'm surprised, Mr. Newton
00:58:06You'd never called on me before
00:58:07That's why I made my mistake
00:58:09I'm sorry
00:58:23I can't invite you to stay
00:58:24I was expecting someone
00:58:26He should have been here before now
00:58:28Well, it's a shame he's late
00:58:30Now when he gets here
00:58:31He won't find you at home
00:58:32What do you mean?
00:58:34They're going out, Glenda
00:58:35With me
00:58:36No, no, I couldn't have

00:58:41I'm expecting someone
00:58:42Get your coat
00:58:43Please go
00:58:44Get your coat

00:58:53No, no
00:58:55No, no
00:58:56No
00:59:00No
00:59:02You shut up, I said
00:59:19Help me
00:59:20I'll kill you right here
00:59:21On his back
00:59:21Help
00:59:22Help

00:59:28Help
00:59:29Help
00:59:31Help
00:59:32Help
00:59:33Help
00:59:34Help
00:59:35Mrs. Palmer
00:59:36What's the matter in there?
00:59:38This is Mr. Brown
00:59:39What matters
00:59:39Open the door and let him in
00:59:40But be careful
00:59:42Go on
00:59:42Are you all right, Mrs. Palmer?
00:59:49Thank heaven you're here
00:59:50Are you all right, Mrs. Palmer?
00:59:54Stick your hands up and keep going
00:59:55Drop that gun
00:59:57You know the marriage of a pastime club
00:59:59Get him out of here
01:00:00Book him on suspicion of attempted murder
01:00:02Yes, Commissioner
01:00:03Take him out
01:00:04Everything's all right, Mrs. Palmer
01:00:07Will you please get the lady a glass of water?
01:00:11Mrs. Palmer
01:00:12I'm very anxious to get some information about Rick Carson
01:00:15Oh, it's all right
01:00:17He's working with us
01:00:18Oh, thank you
01:00:19Here you are
01:00:20He said you were helping him
01:00:22But we're worried that something may have happened
01:00:25Have you heard from Carson lately?
01:00:29He telephoned me this afternoon from Meadows
01:00:31Meadows?
01:00:32The Ainsley Farm is located near Meadows
01:00:34That's right
01:00:35He mentioned the farm and the telegrams they sent for him
01:00:38Captain, notify the sheriff's office in Meadows
01:00:40To see if Carson is at the Ainsley Farm
01:00:42Yes, Commissioner
01:00:42Jojo's here
01:01:03I wonder who that other car belongs to
01:01:05Never saw it before
01:01:06Well, say hello and show them you're okay
01:01:08But then we'll take a run into town
01:01:09Fair enough
01:01:10Well, Dr. Newton ought to have finished his treatment of Glenda Palmer by now
01:01:15Quite a joint you got here, huh?
01:01:19Well, we picked up Cooper and here he is
01:01:20Hiya, gang
01:01:21Well, where's that old son of a gun, Murdoch or Carson, whatever he calls himself now?
01:01:31What's the matter, Marty?
01:01:32Don't you recognize your old pal?
01:01:34You know, I didn't at first
01:01:35But I sure do now
01:01:36You're the guy who shut it out with me and a pal up in Wisconsin
01:01:40It was you who put a slug to it
01:01:42You're a federal agent
01:01:43What did I say?
01:01:45That's right, I am a federal agent
01:01:46And there's one thing they teach us and that's how to use a gun
01:01:49And the first one that makes a move gets it
01:01:52Oh!
01:01:54I warned you, Mitchell
01:01:54Anybody else?
01:01:57You see, the reason Cooper knew I was a federal man
01:02:00Is because I once put him in prison
01:02:01The very same prison that you very loyal citizens got him out of today
01:02:05Looks like I'm going to have to put him back in again
01:02:08But this time I'm going to give him a lot of company
01:02:10I'm going to put you all in with him
01:02:12But right now, ladies and gentlemen, I'm afraid I have to leave you
01:02:16But I'll make you a promise
01:02:17I'll be back again
01:02:18Nice work, Ainsley, just in time
01:02:23I heard you shall have figured something was wrong
01:02:25Shut up and follow mine
01:02:26Shut up and follow mine
01:02:26Shut up and follow mine
01:02:28Shut up and follow mine
01:02:29Shut up and follow mine
01:02:30Put him in the chair
01:02:34He'd be more comfortable here
01:02:39Hey, uh, Carson
01:02:43Here's some water for you
01:02:45Now speak
01:02:47All right, Carson
01:02:49Who put you on our train?
01:02:51Oh
01:02:51Well
01:02:54I suppose we'll have to teach him how to speak
01:02:57That's lesson number one
01:03:02He's stubborn, he'll need more than that
01:03:03Ready to talk yet?
01:03:09Hit him again
01:03:10We'll make him talk
01:03:14Why don't you shoot him and get it over with?
01:03:17Just a minute
01:03:17We'll try once more
01:03:19If he doesn't talk this time
01:03:21He'll get a one-way ticket to the bottom of the river
01:03:24All right, Carson
01:03:27This is your last chance
01:03:29Tell us just how much you know
01:03:31You'd better talk fast and to the point
01:03:33Sounds like police sirens
01:03:36It is the police
01:03:37What can we do?
01:03:37Don't let them find him here
01:03:38Duke
01:03:39Blackie, kid
01:03:40Take Cooper and Carson to the storeroom
01:03:42Use the back way
01:03:43Holiday and Jones
01:03:44You'd better go along
01:03:45Come on, boys
01:03:45Hurry up
01:03:47Take a snap
01:03:48Now, you and I will be taking care of Frank, Jojo
01:03:51All right
01:03:52And remember
01:03:52He was hurt in a hunting accident
01:03:55Oh
01:03:56Oh, shut up
01:03:59Come on, fellas
01:04:07All right, where do we go?
01:04:09In that room
01:04:10Take a snap, boys
01:04:11Come on
01:04:11You're going to try to lose
01:04:13Right in here
01:04:13Quiet now
01:04:23Pluck it, boys
01:04:43All of you are now
01:04:58And fall with me
01:04:59The rest of you
01:05:00Look those cars over
01:05:01And see if you can find anything out here
01:05:02Come on
01:05:03You'll soon feel better, old man
01:05:10What's the trouble here?
01:05:18My guest was hurt in a hunting accident
01:05:19We called a doctor
01:05:20Oh
01:05:21Well, we're looking for a man named Carson
01:05:24Carson?
01:05:25I don't know him
01:05:25There was someone here earlier today
01:05:27Before you came home, dear
01:05:29His name was Carson
01:05:30He said he was looking for a friend
01:05:32Was his friend named Monty Cooper?
01:05:34That name doesn't mean anything to me either
01:05:36He was just for all from prison
01:05:38He's supposed to report here for work
01:05:40We haven't seen him
01:05:41If you have no objections
01:05:43We'll look through the house
01:05:44Help yourself
01:05:45Thank you
01:05:46Let's look at him
01:05:47Jim, you go up there
01:05:53Shut up, you one people
01:06:01And I'll bust your mouth wide open
01:06:02Gag him, Blackie
01:06:03Thanks for your cooperation
01:06:08I hope the doctor gets here soon
01:06:10Good night
01:06:10Good night
01:06:11That setup doesn't look right to me
01:06:18Yeah, Monty Cooper's supposed to go to work out here
01:06:21And nobody seems to know anything about him
01:06:23Kind of funny, isn't it?
01:06:24Yeah
01:06:25Keep him in there
01:06:26We'll go around and see what the rest of the boys are doing
01:06:28We haven't been in here yet
01:06:34Open it up, mister
01:06:35All right, boys
01:06:43Look it over
01:06:43It's kind of stuffy in here
01:06:46Find anything?
01:06:55No sign of Cooper or Carson so far
01:06:56I'll make a thorough say
01:06:58See, I told you there ain't nothing in here
01:07:13Well, that just about winds it up
01:07:15Well, if Cooper shows up, I'll be glad to let you know
01:07:18Okay, let's go, men
01:07:20Boy, was I sweating
01:07:31That was a close one
01:07:32I thought sure they had us
01:07:33Hey, Duke
01:07:34I want you to grab me
01:07:35Hey, give me one
01:07:35Hey
01:07:36What's that?
01:07:41Hey
01:07:41I have a room back there
01:07:43Grab me a light in there now
01:07:48Grab that man
01:07:50Clear that stuff out there
01:07:52Take that cabinet away
01:07:54In here
01:07:54You stupid fool
01:07:58Where's your brain?
01:07:59Shut up or I'll put a slut through you too
01:08:01I'd like to do that myself
01:08:03I didn't like their kisses when I saw them on a parole board
01:08:07Here they are, Sarge
01:08:09Good
01:08:10Might take the gas gun
01:08:12Grab, you take this
01:08:13Pick up those people in the house
01:08:15Okay, Sarge
01:08:16All right, you fellas in there
01:08:17Come out with your hands up
01:08:19You want us covered?
01:08:20You'll have to come in and get us
01:08:21Now listen to me
01:08:22If you don't come out
01:08:24We're going to give you a dose of gas
01:08:25You've got just 30 seconds to make up your mind
01:08:29Let's give up, boys
01:08:30We can't beat them
01:08:30Please, please don't fight
01:08:32They've got gas
01:08:33And I've got sinus trouble
01:08:34Don't
01:08:35That'll cure it
01:08:36There are too many for us for Jilly
01:08:38Yeah, why get ourselves killed?
01:08:40What's the matter with you guys?
01:08:40You all yellow?
01:08:41No, but we're not all fools either
01:08:43Come out one at a time with your hands up
01:08:46I'll count to five
01:08:48If you aren't out by then, we'll open up on you
01:08:51One
01:08:52Two
01:08:54Three
01:08:55Four
01:08:57All right, you get going
01:09:00Come on, come on
01:09:01Get going, get going
01:09:02Move along, come on
01:09:04Come on, step out of there
01:09:05Come on, move along
01:09:07Move along, keep those hands up
01:09:08Let's see if there's anyone else in there
01:09:11Right
01:09:11Mr. Hendricks?
01:09:17Who shot you?
01:09:18Duke Vigili
01:09:21We'd better call an ambulance
01:09:22He's badly hurt
01:09:23Yeah
01:09:24Give me a hand here
01:09:26I can't make it
01:09:26Sure
01:09:27Just a minute
01:09:46Well, Duke
01:09:49I told you I'd see you again
01:09:52And the next time I see you
01:09:55You're gonna be a very old man
01:09:59Oh, yes
01:10:06Getting along real fine
01:10:09Another week or so, I'll be able to go out dancing again
01:10:12That's wonderful
01:10:13Here you are, Mr. Hendricks
01:10:15Oh, thank you, Mary
01:10:16Well, Mary's my favorite nurse
01:10:17I can believe that
01:10:18Well, if it wasn't for her, I'd probably still be lying in bed
01:10:21Thank you, Mr. Hendricks
01:10:23God bless you
01:10:24Well, here's my completed report, Mr. Whitmore
01:10:28Took quite a long time to finish it
01:10:30But I hope it accomplishes what the governor desired
01:10:32Well, I'm sure it will be, Carson
01:10:34I mean Murdoch
01:10:35You mean Hendricks
01:10:36You mean Hendricks
