Hey, look at you. You're all grown up,
aren't you?

You're really going to be home now?

For good?

You bet I am.

We're going to make it a real home, too,
just for us.

Oh, Dad.

Hey, aren't you supposed to be in
school?

Chief Farris, I said I could take the
day off.

I've been waiting a long time. Let's get
started.

Sure. Here he is.

You let him out almost right on time.

He probably had to wait it all.

Hey, Coy. Good to see you. Good to see
you. How are you? It's good to have you

back. Nice to be back. I told him about
the new apartment too.

No more farce to hold for me. Oh, I
thought they were pretty nice people.

Well, they are, but... Oh, you know what
I mean. Chief.

I don't know how to thank you.

Don't try, Gordy.

Hey, uh, you're looking pretty good.

How can I look bad? I get a couple of
dollars and a cardboard suit.

Hey, let's have lunch. What Sonny calls
a celebration spread.

Sonny, you're at the end. Gordy, find
me.

Mark.

Well, you finally got a haircut.

A little one.

For six months I've been trying to get
him to get his hair cut. All I hear is

the word style.

Well, you don't want me to look funny in
school, do you? You look pretty great

to me.

Hey, where's mine?

If you behave, ginger ale.

Oh, you just wait a couple more years,
that's all.

Ma 'am, will I take you on then?

Oh, a pleasure.

New life.

New happiness.

Home Gordie Brokaw.

Appreciate it.

We're going to have a problem.

Why?

I'm not going to be working alone
anyway. They hired me as an assistant.

So? Maybe we can pick up some extra cash
for him, too.

Think he'll go alone?

I don't know him. He's an ex -con.

He shouldn't mind picking up some extra
cash.

That's great.

You might want to be careful. He's out
on parole.

Will happen.

Well, we did it again.

I guess we did.

Truth is, you did it again.

I'm not carefully going to make you boss
blaster instead of me.

You really know how to place that stuff.

Yeah, fellow.

Army training, I guess. It's all coming
back to me.

You're okay, broker.

Tell you the truth, I didn't know what
to expect when they said you were coming

on the job.

Why is that? You mean because I've done
time?

Yeah.

You know, guys do time for a lot of
reasons.

For all I know, he might be a desperate
criminal.

Right, it could be.

What were you in for?

A mistake.

Well, some guys say it's a mistake when
they break the law.

Other guys say it's a mistake when they
get caught.

Well, I, uh... I gave myself up.

Listen, if you're afraid I might do
something, forget it, will you?

I mean, I'm staying clean. I don't even
overpower him.

He's not going to go on the take. I can
tell you that right now. Did you ask

him?

I didn't have to.

The guy's so glad to be out, he's not
about to take a chance on being sent

Isn't there some way we can work around
him? No chance.

He knows how many sticks we use.

Tally didn't match, he'd know it.

If you're the boss, tell him you keep
the tally yourself and it's none of his

business. Oh, that'd be phony. He'd know
there was something fishy going on

right away.

I'm afraid you guys are going to have to
get your stuff someplace else from now

on. You try to buy it nowadays, they ask
what it's for.

Besides, we like doing business with
you. You never ask what it's for.

I read the papers, I can guess. But you
don't really want to know, do you?

That way you can take your money without
troubling your middle -class

conscience. Isn't that it?

Oh, lay off, Mel.

I'm just curious. Isn't that right?

As long as nobody gets hurt, I figure
wrecking buildings, that's the insurance

company's problem.

That's right. It's always somebody
else's problem.

Here.

Tell me everything you know about this
Brokaw guy.

Everything.

Well, they pay me a few extra dollars
for what they call high -risk work,

My boss is letting me do more and more
all along, so I'm not so rusty yet. It's

really... It's a pretty good job.

Might work out to be quite a career for
you. Yeah, it's a sense construction

work isn't gonna stop.

How about a refill?

Sure.

You have any trouble?

You mean about being a con?

No, I think they all probably know about
it, but nobody brings it up.

Except my...

This guy I work with, he mentioned it,
but I think it's just curiosity.

Although I've got to say, nobody's asked
me to their home yet, or even to have a

beer after work.

Give it time, it'll come.

Who's ready for seconds?

How much did you have while you were
over there?

I'll have to taste it to see if it's all
right, do I?

You're broke off.

That's right.

I'd like to talk to you.

Listen, if you're a union
representative, I've already joined up.

No, no.

No union.

Huh? What can I do for you?

I could use some of the stuff you got
here.

I don't get it.

Dynamite.

I could use a few cases.

Are you with the company?

No.

You know, there's outlets all over town.
You just go in and buy it.

Yeah, well, I want three cases from
here.

You make the tally sheet.

What?

Nobody gets on.

Just add three or four sticks on the
sheet for each of your own blast.

Pretty soon, you're all caught up.

You'll make good money out of it.

Now, you listen, punk.

You got the wrong guy for that. You
better beat it.

I'll get in touch with you again.

Change your mind. Let me know.

I won't be changing my mind, buddy. You
can save yourself the time. Sure you

will.

Hello, Brokaw?

Hang on a minute.

Say hello. It's your old man.

Hello, Dad?

Sonny, you're supposed to be home by
now. Where are you?

I don't know where I am, Dad.

Some guy over at the playground told me
you were hurt, so I went with him.

They won't let me go.

Sonny, are you all right?

Has anybody...

Has anybody hurt you?

No, Dad. I'm all right.

They just won't let me go.

Hello, Brokaw.

This is the guy. What are you doing?
What are you doing with my son?

Take it easy, Brokaw. How can I explain
if you're going to yell?

What does he mean that you won't let him
go?

He's yelling. How can I talk to him?

Hello, you through yelling now?

All right, listen.

What's this all about?

Well, see how easy?

Now, I want that stuff we talked about
this afternoon.

I was pretty sure you'd change your
mind.

All right.

Now, listen, you punk.

You hurt that boy, and I'll kill you.

Sure, sure. Now, let's talk dynamite.

Three cases.

You deliver, you get the boy.

That's a couple of them.

All right.

All right, make me at the storage shed.
You got it. I'll give it to you.

Oh, no, no.

You see, you'd have every cop in the
neighborhood there.

Now, you go get it. Then you bring it to
the phone booth on the southeast corner

of Marengo and Court.

And you just wait for a call. Okay?

Okay.

Tonight, now.

Listen, I want my boy back.

Sure. Now, we'll call you about 11.

Bro call.

Don't tell the cops.

We really don't want to hurt your kid.

You did the right thing by coming here,
and I promise you we won't do anything

to jeopardize Sonny.

Yeah, well, I'll tell you something.

I didn't know whether I should or not at
first.

What about the car he drove? Did you
notice what kind it was?

No, I don't know. It was a hardtop
something. It was a... I don't know.

What do they need three cases of
dynamite for? A lot's been going on

were away.

With dynamite?

Explosions, arson.

I used to listen to the newscast of it.
I didn't believe it.

Chief, tell me something.

Why did they choose me? Because I'm an
ex -con?

I mean, did they think I'd be a soft
touch?

I mean, that's finished. That's all
over. Don't they understand that?

Apparently not.

Now, your boss, does he always knock off
before you do?

Do you always put everything away in the
shed by yourself?

Uh, no. He usually... He helped me most
of the time. Why?

Most of the time?

All the time. Till today. Today was...
Do you think that he knew I

was going to be approached?

Maybe. It's strange that they would come
to you instead of him.

Now, you told me the other men were
friendly, but not close.

How many people in the job knew about
Sonny?

I guess... I know some of the guys. I
probably bragged about him. Did they

that he spent his afternoons at the
playground?

No, I doubt it.

Except Franklin.

Franklin who?

My boss, Franklin.

The guy's calling Ben. His name is,
uh... His name is Jay or Jason,

Anyway, one day I did... I said, I'm
gonna go pick my son up at the park.

Any idea where he lives?

No, he never mentioned.

All right, Ed.

Take Gordy down to headquarters.

See if you can pick out your boss.

Man the man you talked to this
afternoon.

He didn't look like a con, Chief. I
don't think he'll be in the book.

But look anyway, just in case.

What if he's not there? What then?

Then you hand the dynamite over.

We get Sonny back.

Come on, man.

Just ride with it. You'll be all right.

Maybe someday he'll realize we're doing
this for him.

You and millions of kids your age.

We're going to make you a new kind of
world, Sonny.

That's right, kid.

What do you think of that?

Tough little kid, aren't you?

I'm not afraid of you.

Bring your burger, kid. We'll finish it
in the other room.

Evening.

How's everything tonight?

Fine.

Did you see Broker?

Mm -hmm.

I was right, wasn't I?

He didn't want any part of it.

You were right.

He didn't want any part of it.

First.

What do you mean, first?

He came around after a while.

I'm getting his stuff tomorrow.

No kidding. How'd you work it?

We got his kid.

The one you told us about.

He's in there.

You mean... You kidnapped

him? We borrowed him for trading
purposes.

You must be crazy all of you.

You can't get away with that.

We already have.

Have a french fry.

What about me?

They're going to wonder how you knew
about the kid. They're going to come

for me.

Probably. What kind of a deal is this?

Don't you guys care what happens to
anybody?

We care very much, Mr. Franklin.

Well, you've got a funny way of showing
it.

Well, you have to look at the long deal.
Thank you, Brad.

Mr. Franklin doesn't understand.

I understand one thing. I'm getting out
of here.

Sugar? Thanks.

Has he had contact yet?

All right, switch me to Ed.

Line tap says Gordy hasn't been called
yet.

They're probably cruising the area to
make sure he's alone.

Ed, what do we have on Jason Franklin?

We've apparently just missed him. He
pulled out, locked, stuck in suitcase.

Put out an APB. You have his
description. Get his car plate and

you can.

Brokaw? How's my boy?

We're taking good care of him. You got
the stuff?

Yes, I got it.

Good.

Now stay on Cross County Highway till
Fordham Road, then head north.

You'll be flagged down.

All right.

Brokaw, don't make any stops on the way,
huh?

We'll know, because you'll be followed.

Listen, I just want my boy back.

Sure you do.

Fordham from Crouse County. Keep them in
sight, but don't close in until we know

we have the boy.

Let's go on easy.

Where's my son?

You think I'd be crazy enough to bring
him with me?

He'd take me apart once you got him
back.

I'll tell you where he is.

When we're loaded.

Now, where's my son?

I wrote the address on here.

You go there.

You'll find him.

The transfer was made. They're following
you to safety.

No closing in until we know about that.

Don't close in until notified.

All right, let's go ahead.

Here's where it's supposed to be.

342 West Parkway and I follow.

He's alive. He's not here. Just take it
easy, Gordy. I should have beaten him

when I had the chance. I could have
beaten the truth out of him.

It may be costing his life.

Here.

After that, Gordy.

Don't go down. We're with you.

Hello? We figured you'd go to the
police.

So we're going to have to keep him just
a little longer. All right. When do I

get him back?

After 11 o 'clock tomorrow night.

How will I know where to find him?

We'll tell you.

We don't like to hurt people unless it's
absolutely necessary.

You understand that, don't you?

Tell me where he is tomorrow night.

After 11.

This is Chief Ironside. I want Police
Communications Center.

Ironside here. Connect me with Mobile
702.

This is Ironside. What part of town are
you in?

You did what?

They lost the suspect car.

Exactly how many people would you say
live next door?

Oh, there were two young men and a girl.

But I don't think they really lived
there.

Do you know who owned the house they
rented?

Yeah, I know the guy. Could you call
him, ask him who his tenants were?

At this hour?

It's important.

He'll kill me, but okay.

Thank you.

There was this truck they had parked out
front a lot. I noticed it from across

the street.

What kind of truck? Large? Small?

I, uh, I think it's called a pickup
truck. Kind of small.

You know what make? What color?

It was green and not very new.

The lady next door said there were three
of them. Two young men and a girl. She

couldn't give much of a description.

I never looked at the license plate.

I don't even remember my own.

Owner of the house says he rented it to
a Ned Harrison, fellow about 25.

No lease.

First and last month paid in advance.
They've been here three months.

She doesn't make a hair.

Ain't tough, Gordy. We're moving.

I'm right in my hands now. Let him go.
You couldn't play it any other way. Oh,

yes, I could have.

I just got the word they picked up
Franklin on Highway 7. They're bringing

Hey, Gordy. I don't know what you're
talking about.

Where? They're talking about kidnapping.

Now, sit down, Mr. Franklin.

Eve, bring your pad.

We want a statement from you, Mr.
Franklin.

Never mind the statement. What did you
do with Sonny?

I swear, Gordy, I don't know anything
about your kid.

We think you do.

We've already looked over your tally
sheets. Gordy says there are always

or four more sticks than needed on every
blast. How long have you been

bootlegging it to those people? That's a
lie.

I always used a little more.

That wasn't as good a blaster as Gordy.
The charges against you so far include

theft of your company's property. We'll
add sale of stolen goods.

Now tell us what you know or we'll add
accessory to a couple of bombings and a

kidnapping. I don't know anything about
bombings. I just sold a few sticks. I

never knew what they were going to do
with them.

Who?

Them. I want their names.

I don't even know if they gave me their
right names.

Ned Harrison, uh, he did the buying.

There's no sheet on him, and he's not on
any list anywhere. Try another.

Mel... Melter something.

And it was this girl, Nina Loring.

Where are they?

Why, I told them they were crazy.

I told them.

Three, four, two... We've been there.
They're gone. Where did they go?

I don't know.

Give me a break, will you?

I'll help. I'll tell you everything I
know. You give me a break.

They told me about the kid.

But after.

After.

They didn't tell me what they were
planning.

So I'm sorry, Gordy.

Just started out to make a few extra
bucks. I didn't see the harm.

You do now.

Where are they, Franklin?

Where have they got my kid?

If I knew, I'd tell you.

We have a description on a pickup truck.
Do you know it?

Ned drives it.

Green 63.

I'm not sure of the make.

License? It's, uh, P -25 -0 -0 -0 -2 -0.

There's a place in the car used to pick
up the dynamite checks with a car stolen

earlier today.

Any report from Highway Patrol on it?

Not yet.

See if you can find anything on him or
Laura either.

It's probably as phony as Ned Harrison.
We can't overlook it.

I've added the license number to the APB
on the truck.

With half a break, it'll be spotted.

I don't like the other half.

Someplace in this town, there's a bomb
factory in full production.

Pork is exhausted.

I could do with a little sleep myself.

Then drink more coffee.

I don't want any mistakes.

After New York, man, I double -check
everything.

Well, then triple -check it.

Won't do us any good to blow ourselves
up.

Hey, Nate, you want to make some more
coffee?

In a minute.

Don't you think we ought to put him in
the bedroom or something?

No. I want him where I can see him.

How come we can't ever get any of this?
plastic explosive I keep reading about.

It'll be a lot better than all this
jazz.

Well, in a war, brother, you use what
you can get.

Well, I say we knock off now.

We don't blow the place till tomorrow
night, so why push so hard?

I want all the stuff made and in the
suitcase before we sleep.

You expecting trouble?

Always expect trouble.

That way you stay safe.

You ever do anything this big before?

No.

Well, I'm a little uptight.

We all are.

Yeah, but I keep seeing these mental
moods, like in slow motion.

That place going up, the concrete walls
bursting out, that special weatherproof

roof they have splattering red all over
the block.

Look, will you do me a favor?

You want to spare us the late show and
get back to work?

He's just wound tight. So am I.

but we have men checking out Lauren's
family. There's about a dozen of them in

the book.

Keep on them.

Nothing on the stolen car yet.

They probably hid it somewhere.

Would you try to hit a target with a
stolen car?

No, it's too easily spotted. They may
try to pick up another one. Or somehow

disguise the one they have.

Well, machinery moves slowly sometimes,
Gordy, but it moves.

Such a helpless feeling. It seems like
there ought to be something I could do.

Chief, they've completed the hookup on
line two.

Good. Gordy, you stay on line two in
case they try to make another contact.

Hello? It's wide direct to your
apartment.

Thank you.

Chief, they found the pickup truck.

It's on its way to the motor pool.

Ed.

Bandit in the 3200 block abroad. No
prints. No one saw it left.

No one saw any wounds.

Got me.

You need to sample that gravel and tire
cut and that tire dress.

You probably picked that up when you
came out on the jab.

Take a good look.

Can you tell if it's the same?

No, wait a minute. This is...

This is smaller than the stuff we're
using for road bank.

All right, check the streets and
highways.

I want every location that's undergoing
repairs.

Chief, there could be hundreds of
locations. This city doesn't have enough

to make hundreds of repairs at the same
time.

Check out the neighborhood.

Quietly. In case they're still around.

Move, son. Let me get you out of the
glass.

I thought you were going to go away.

Are you all right, son?

Are you okay?

I'm all right, Dad.

Only I was scared.

Nothing more to be scared of, son.

Except three cases of dynamite loose in
town.

Well, they had them bundled together
like six or eight to a bundle.

You mean taped together to make a
package?

Yeah, sort of.

Then when they finished a bundle, they
put it into a suitcase.

Then they filled up the suitcase and put
the rest of it into a box.

And you heard them talk?

A little.

Most of the time they put me in another
room.

Tell me again what they said about the
place they'd bomb.

Well, I told most of it.

Concrete walls and a red roof.

All right, Sonny.

We'll work on it.

You'd better get yourself something to
eat.

Can I have some of your chili?

Yes, you can have some of my chili.

You too, Gordy.

So far, anything with a red roof doesn't
have concrete walls and vice versa.

Mr. and Mrs. Albert Lauren have a
daughter, Nina.

Let's talk to her. She hasn't been home
for months and I don't know where she

is. All right, call them back.

Ask them if she has or had a car.

Ed, how many buildings have labs in
them?

About 200.

Set that time careful, man.

Once we close the suitcase, we can't
open it without it going up. Don't

That's it. The circuit's closed.

What if the clock stops?

It goes off on its own and opens.

You sure the rest of it's safe in the
trunk?

No caps, no fuse.

We'll keep.

The car was registered to her father,
but Nina drives it. I have the plate

number.

That APB on the stolen car.

Tell them it may have that number.

Of course, if she put her own place on
it, it wouldn't be stopped.

No luck.

No red roof and concrete walls.

At least with a lab in it.

Sonny.

I want you to tell me that again.

Concrete walls and a red roof. No, I
want the exact words.

Think hard, son. Try to remember exactly
what they said. Exactly.

After they said, blow that lab and
tomorrow night... That's tonight.

One guy they called Mel had this movie
going on in his head about concrete

busting and a special roof.

Weatherproof, he said.

Splattering red all over the block.

All labs would have a special
weatherproof roof for temperature

And he didn't say red roof. He said it
would splatter red.

Find out if any of the labs of the
buildings have red ceilings.

The university says the red paint is a
special mixture of material resistant to

radioactivity. Bright red so everyone
knows it's there. How many labs?

Six that they know of.

Eve, Mark, get the numbers from Ed. Use
all the phones.

How could you be so dumb?

He said he was a detective checking a
prowler's report.

Who was I to know?

That's right, friend.

How are you to know?

Now, we really don't want to hurt
anybody.

So, cooperate.

Now, which of the keys fits the lab?

None of them.

That one's locked in a safe.

Look, I said cooperate.

I'm not kidding.

That key there, the one marked 32,
that's as close as we can get to the

It's a hallway outside it.

Okay.

That'll do.

What's in there?

Yes. You're going to let us out of here,
aren't you?

I mean, we'll get killed if you don't.

You heard the man.

He said cooperate.

No answer.

Forget who the watchman listed, that's
got to be the one. Let's go.

You can just wait. Yeah, go ahead and
come along.

You stay there.

Okay, gentlemen, put your hands down.

I'm going to walk natural to the car.

Hold up.

All units are alerted. Do you want to
talk to them?

How much damage will it make if we don't
stop them in time?

It depends on position.

Corridors, a lot of things.

That much dynamite's got to take a lot
with it.

Hindsight. As soon as units are on
station, start evacuating the

Two block radius.

We'll hear it from here.

Locked down.

What about us?

We'll drop you before we go.

We really don't want to hurt anybody.

We just want to rock the power of it.
That's all.

You'll tell your grandchildren about
this.

Clear your vehicles out of here. Only
bomb squad stays.

All others clear out.

Execute immediately.

This is Brown. Where's the bomb squad?

Well, tell them to move.

On the way.

Tony, I have 11.

They said 11?

Yeah.

It could take 10 minutes to look for it
and still be safe.

If their clock is right.

We have a 10 -minute safety factor.

Now. This is an order.

At ten of eleven, everybody clear out of
the building.

And keep going.

Yes, I really will.

Good to see you, Dad.

It's locked tight. They couldn't have
opened it either.

Check the ventilator.

It's here.

All right, hand it down.

Wait a minute.

I think it's the booby traps.

Plaster, saddle.

That's what he's tampered with.

10 minutes to 11.

We just don't have time to fool around
with it. Let's go.

It's locked.

Well, it only came in. No, no, it's
already cracked open.

What about the chief and Gordian?
They're probably using another agency.

go.

How would they have set up the booby
trap?

Well, the easiest way would be to have a
wire attached to the latch that would

pull it when it flies open.

You can do that from the outside of the
case. What other way? No, no, a circuit.

The tongue of the latch would be
completing a circuit. You break the

boom, that's it.

Does the tongue of the latch have any
play in it?

Maybe an eighth of an inch, no more.

All right.

Look inside the notch.

Easy.

Easy.

Yeah, yeah.

That's as far as I'll go.

I see it.

Two wires.

One on each side of the tongue.

I just had a... I had something to keep
that contact on.

It might be able to open this thing.

Will that work?

That's all I got. It'll have to work.

You open that latch as slow as you can.
I'll try to slip this all under there

and keep the contact on.

Remember, you won't get a second chance.

Not to me.

This is...

as far as it'll go.

It's up. It's far enough.

All right.

Keep that circuit closed.

Hold it.

You got it? Yeah.

Countdown time.

Get out

of the car.

All of you.

How'd you find us?

Your girlfriend left her number.

Well, we could see it.

You're too late now, anyway.

Five, four, three, two, one,

and...

It's

gotta be.

It's gotta be!

I'm sorry, but... I've not been able to
get to you, Chief.

You can't walk through locked doors.

He's just watching a scary movie.

I think we know how you feel.

Especially at bedtime, huh?

Yeah. I better get him home. Say
goodnight to the chief.

Goodnight, chief. Goodnight, son.

Goodnight, chief.

Good night.

Out of corridors.

Goodnight. Bye.

I don't know about the rest of you, but
I'm about ready for a nice, peaceful

forgery caper.

How subtle for double the parking.

In short, Chief, you've got to stop
doing things like that.

Gladly.

But it's nice to know you were so
concerned.

We sure were.

Do you realize you had our front door
key with you?
