Okay.

Thank you.

I can pay Mr. Williams.

I used to be a big fan years ago.

Thank you.

But baseball isn't a thing anymore.

I mean, they traded Mays and McCovey.

Been like a business.

Big corporation.

Why don't you let me take your kid to
the ballgame today?

No, Oscar.

Not on school nights.

Okay. Same time tomorrow morning?

Yeah, 10 .30. Take care.

Good evening.

Yeah, you brought it, and I told him to
shag it out of here.

Did you hear me last week?

You didn't hear me, bud.

I screwed myself up once, I did my time,
and that's it.

I don't turn my store into a drop for
you or any other operator.

Don't care much about Joey, do you? You
go near my kid and I blow the whistle so

loud you'll never... You freak!

What are you doing in there?

Is this your truck?

Of course it is.

How'd you get in there?

Who are you? What's your name?

I have to go to the bathroom.

Chief Ironside's office.

Fran, will you come down here? I have a
surprise for you.

What's this?

To give the young lady the note.

What's your name?

Okay. I'm Fran.

We've got to call you something.

Who wrote this?

Your father?

Steve, what's this about?

A, the note.

B, the suitcase.

C, I think he's been told not to talk.
And D, I'm late.

So exercise your powers until I get back
from court.

Peace!

What's going on?

What's wrong? It's Joey. I waited up for
you half the night.

I shouldn't have called you last night.

I kind of came unglued when I heard your
voice.

Joey's all right. I got that much
figured out.

Ellie, I'm sorry I dragged you into
this. I just don't know what else to do.

I want it.

Both sides of the law.

What do you mean, both sides of the law?

Honey, all I need is a name.

Now, I know guys that can fix me up, but
I can't go to them.

I need a guy that does passports and
papers.

Oh, don't run.

Ellie, if I don't run, I'm dead.

Can you get me a name? Just a name,
that's all.

Somebody I can trust.

Chief Ironside, please keep my boy safe
and quiet a few days.

Somebody wants to kill me.

They would try to use him to find me. He
would get hurt.

I know you. I trust you. He needs you.

I'm sorry I never said I love you to the
boy.

Man's handwriting.

Must be the father.

I guess we assume there is no mother.

Not much money either.

He's wearing his bed.

Is it new?

Shh. He's sleeping.

You want anything?

Just that he was six years old. Well,
let's get him into my bedroom.

I'm not going to whisper into this
telephone.

Anything in the suitcase?

Mending is done by hand. T -shirts are
ironed. So there's a woman somewhere.

Two women.

This is Ironside.

I want Captain Connor, kindergarten
teacher.

Oh, right.

But wrong.

He's six, so he'd be in first grade.

Don't quibble, Fran.

Hey, this is a toy car item.

If we could find out what store.

Not that way.

Well, interrupt him.

My case files. Somebody I know
personally who would have a son about

old.

Phil, forgive the interruption.

This Drexel killing that made the early
afternoon edition.

Yeah, give me what you got.

Jeannie? Hi, Fran Belding.

Yeah. Um, how fast can you get me
today's absentee reports on all the

grade classes in the district?

Has the car been moved?

All right, I've got a hunch on this,
Phil.

Leave the car where it is.

Sit tight till you hear from me.

Yeah, thank you.

You know who Russell Drexel is?

No, should I?

Not by that name, I guess, but if I say
underworld hitman, who's the deadliest

one you can think of?

The angel.

Russell Drexel.

The name's about all that anyone knows.

Wait a minute. Didn't somebody wipe out
the angel? That might be a story of his

own invention.

He hasn't been around, but if he's
alive, he will be.

That's his son.

Yeah. This is the angel.

Never mind that. Take a name.

Bud Drexel.

Yep, that's him.

I want to know where he went, what he
did, all day yesterday.

The work, everything.

You don't. I call you.

Private patrolman found Bud Drexel's
body in his own car parked beside an old

warehouse. Coroner's report?

Severed carotid artery, sudden massive
hemorrhage.

Also cuts on arm and chest, but no blood
in the car.

Well, he was a narcotics dealer.

Maybe he ran into some strung out user
with a switchblade.

Presence of mind to put him in his own
car and drive him away from the scene

doesn't sound strung out to me.

What about his clothing effects?

Already it's a lab. We can stop by there
if you'd like.

This was in his pocket. One shot was
fired.

We're analyzing some dull gray -white
smears that were on the pants and coat.

And there were also an unusual number of
hairs on the fabric.

We'll have it nailed down in a minute.

Where do you think we're going?

Sometime last night, a man left his son
in my van. Sometime last night, Bud

Drexel died in a fight. Now, I never
knew Drexel.

But I am supposed to know the boy's
father, according to the note. And if he

or is a criminal, there could be a
connection.

May not prove to be viable, but put them
both in the underworld and ask

yourself, why is that boy's father
running for his life?

Double -crossed a mobster, or welshed on
a mobster, or killed a mobster.

And we do have one dead mobster. And one
dead mobster's gun with one round

fired.

Maybe the other guys want it.

If we found bloodstains somewhere, it
would help, wouldn't it?

A pistol and a switchblade.

It could be one of them acted in self
-defense.

Wouldn't make any difference.

If you knew you'd killed the angel's
son, you'd be on the run.

Well, sponges were made by soap.

These are human hairs, all right. Cut
human hair?

At least three types.

Good. I guess it's quite a bit closer to
where and how.

Yes, it does.

I didn't pull jackets on the guys that
are still in prison.

These have all done their time.

Safe crackers, second -story men.

One on top is still on parole.

Thank you, Ma.

I listed all first -grade absentees
according to school with home addresses.

Sixteen schools.

Ed's putting them up now.

All right. See you tomorrow.

Does that mean I'm finished?

I'm finished.

Oh, his rocks.

Hey, he didn't leave.

Never mess with the kids, Rockledge. But
I don't want him to hurt his feet.

He won't. He knows they're there.

All right.

But if he cuts his foot and it gets
infected... We will amputate.

Go home.

Put a red pin at the corner of 25th and
Fenway.

Put another pin...

That's the 300 block of Fenway.

Oh, this is Al Williams.

Hot car hustler. I sent him up.

I got him out four years ago when I
learned his wife was dying.

The first black pin is the school where
one Joey Williams was absent from his

first grade class this morning.

First red pin is about where he lives.

Second red pin would be a darn good
place to find soap, cut human hairs, and

likely weapon.

Not a switchblade, a razor.

Al Williams Barbershop.

If the chief had given us more time, I'd
have brought a thermos of coffee.

Well, we won't be here long.

As soon as the regular troops show,
we'll grab a hamburger.

I don't know. Before we were married, it
used to be, uh, come on, baby.

I'm taking you for steak. Now it's,
uh... Come on, baby, I'm taking you for

steak now. A little beef for why she
needs it. Mm -hmm.

You're supposed to be taking your wife
out to dinner. Oh, it's on ahead.

I'm showing my end of dinner.

Your lady said I could if I got hungry.

You didn't have to do it all yourself.

I'm not supposed to ask for things.

Okay.

Do I go ahead?

Sure. Get yourself a clean knife.

you weren't supposed to ask for things.

I just promised.

You promised anything else?

I do like I'm told not to make trouble.
I never go out by myself.

Well, you can certainly keep a promise.

And to me, you look very honest.

If you could talk, you'd tell the truth.

So I guess we owe you the truth.

We have to start using your name.

Your true name. We have to start calling
you Joey.

Now, it wouldn't be very honest or
truthful of me to know that you're Joey

Williams and not Teddy or something.

My dad never did. Joey, I knew your dad
before you were born.

Didn't you know that?

All right, Joey.

You've just completed one magnificent
sandwich.

My dad never did nothing bad.

I'm Al Williams, the guy Alan Young
called you about yesterday.

I don't know Alan Young, man.

Well, you're Martinet.

Ellen Young, she works at the Port
Authority.

She called you yesterday afternoon.

She told you that, huh? Hey, look, man,
I don't have time to tap dance. Now, I

need a passport.

Can you help me or not?

She said it would be cash in advance.

There's a picture in there, too. How
soon?

Come back in 48 hours.

Bring the rest of it.

The rest of it?

Man, she said it was five bills.

Well, there's $500 right there.

Hey, and the 500 is for the passport.

And the other five is for the rest of my
people.

Plus five for curiosity.

Linus?

Oh, Oscar Kearns.

He's not here.

What? This is Al Williams.

Look, I'm in a bind. I need some dough.

That's great.

Now, why don't you call John D.
Rockefeller? Forget it. I'll try to work

with Oscar.

Wait a minute. I'll... Tell me where you
are, just in case something comes up

and I... Hello.

Al?

Look till you see something you want,
and ask if you need any help. Well, help

is what I came for. I'm Officer Belding.
A police officer.

Pretty young thing like you.

My, my.

I'm Nora Clitterhouse, and I'm only too
happy to help. I think it's such a pity

that people don't pitch in more.

Cooperate, you know? If there's anything
I can help you with, I won't leave you

too glad.

Well, do you know the barber next door?

Oh, very well.

That is, I know Mr. Williams.

Now, Mr.

Kearns has only been there for... Uh,
that Oscar Kearns? I think he's British.

521 Chestnut. Have someone bring in an
Oscar Kearns for questioning.

All right. Thank you.

They got photographs outside the
barbershop and the apartment house where

Williams lived. No duplicates, no
repeaters.

Joey. Nothing in Williams' apartment or
in his bank account. We found it from

the rental checks.

He cleared it yesterday.

Five bills and change.

Oh.

This is the last one I have time for.

Hello.

I know his teacher says he's always
quiet, but I think he's waiting. I think

best chance to get Al may be when Al
tries to get him.

the last line of his life.

He needs you.

I'm sorry I never said I love you to the
boy.

That says goodbye, doesn't it, Ed?

Al just doesn't mean to come back.

Somebody said no duplicates.

They're wrong.

This cat at Al's apartment house.

I saw him at the barbershop last night.

Oh, good afternoon.

Just look till you find something you
want and ask if you need any help. Thank

you.

We got some nice things in here.

We used to have hurricane lamps like
this back home when I was a boy.

And they're $7 a pair.

Well, I remember those.

I just came in to get a haircut today.

Oh, dear.

The shop's closed.

It has been since the... whatever
happened, I'm not sure.

But I do know the police have been
around.

I hope this doesn't mean bad news for
Al.

Mr. Williams is such a nice man.

Nice, nice neighbor.

But I haven't seen him at all.

I did see Oscar yesterday.

The helper, Mr. Kearns? No.

I don't know him.

I think he drinks a lot.

I guess I'm just out of luck.

I could let you have the man for $5 .55.

Well, maybe next time.

Thank you.

Hey, pal.

You the guy that's buying information?

How about the little plastic boat?

They've got all kinds.

No. I like these better.

Chief Ironside's office.

Hello, Ms. Belding?

This is Nora Clitterhouse calling.

Yes, sir.

Guys, the guy in the stakeout
photograph, she ID'd a picture of Lance.

She doesn't know him. Somebody else in
the neighborhood does. He met a friend

outside. Did the lady describe the
friend?

Oh, yeah. Medium, average, ordinary.

Definitely a man.

Well, I trust you're in hot pursuit.

Where will you be?

Now at the Oscar Kearns address. I'll
keep in touch.

Chief, I'm Sergeant Torres.

Where's Dr.

Kearns? Twenty minutes to go. He wasn't
home. I thought I'd try again.

Do that.

Oscar doesn't answer.

All right, let's go to Joey's school.

I want surveillance here.

I'll stay till I get a unit.

This man has been seen in the
neighborhood. If you spot him, don't

Hail him, and don't lose him.

Hello, Tiny.

Dr. Kearns.

I hear Al Williams.

He wants to see me. He's going to hit
you up for a thousand bucks.

Where is he, Tiny?

That's me.

He'll call back.

What's wrong with calling me?

Yeah, I'll be home.

Right.

Yeah, Williams, push dope?

No, no.

Bud wasn't looking for pushes.

Just a meeting player.

A drop.

You push dope?

I did feel done.

But in whoever he worked for.

I don't want them to blame me.

So I thought I'd just play along.

I found him. I know.

I know how you feel.

Huh?

Somebody kill a son of yours?

try Joey's babysitter on 24th.

What a babysitter can learn from a child
about a parent sometimes would astound

you.

You know, hey, Al.

Yeah, I've been worried.

So Tiny said.

That's a hunk of dough.

Listen, Oscar.

Now, if you can help me, I'll sign the
business and all the equipment over to

you.

No, I cannot tell you where I am.

Can you make out a paper and bring it
over to Tiny's?

Yeah, but give me a little time.

Oh, how about 6 .30 tonight?

Yeah, I'll send a friend of mine over
there with the money.

And no sweat out.

6 .30.

Take care.

He'll be there.

Mr. Drexel.

Do me a favor.

Don't tell him it was me that set him
up.

He won't care.

Oh, Mr. Kearns.

Wish we could have met somewhere else.

Know this man?

No. Try.

Is this the angel?

I wouldn't know.

He's always worked through a cover.
Somebody else is looking for Al

Everybody's afraid it's the angel.

And he does live here in the city, I
know that much.

I'll double that.

if it buys something I can use.

Chief? Ed.

Out of currency. Good job.

Right between the eyes.

He managed to duck a little or he
wouldn't be alive this long.

Go to the hospital, Ed.

Set up a round -the -clock bedside
watch. I want every sound he makes

Ten -four.

Did you ever have a gun?

Sure.

Whenever I need it.

You suppose that's it?

Oh, I don't think... Wait a minute.

It is!

Great!

Did you ever shoot a gun?

Well, all police officers have to know
how.

There was this lady cop, and she had a
uniform and everything.

I saw it on TV at Ellen's one time, and
she was afraid to shoot.

Hmm.

She probably didn't want anyone to get
hurt.

She was neat.

She didn't cry or nothing, but she
wouldn't shoot.

I must have misunderstood.

I thought you didn't have a TV at home.

No.

This was at my friend's.

Oh.

Hi, Keith.

We've been working on the puzzle.

Any luck?

Just a few pieces.

And my boat's all fixed up. You want to
see?

Well, Julie, I came back just to see
you.

I need your help.

What's more important, your father needs
your help.

And we have to find him.

I judge from all you know about boats
that he takes you down to the harbor.

You suppose he might be down there now
with a friend?

Do you know why I'm trying to find your
father?

Yeah. To get him arrested.

Well, if he told you that.

He also told you that someone else is
looking for him. My dad knows what to

He's strong.

Does he hurt people?

No. Well, people are getting hurt.

Not by my dad.

By the other man who was looking for
him.

Now, you don't want that man to find
your dad before I do, do you?

I told you I made a promise.

And I learned your name, remember?

And the lady on 24th Street where you go
when school is out?

I learned about her.

So now she won't be hurt because I have
someone there to protect her.

And Oscar, I learned about him, but not
in time.

You see, Oscar has been hurt.

Now what about Ellen?

And Joey, you come back here.

Come on.

Don't run away from trouble like this.

You face it.

And you fight it.

And you beat it.

I want you to tell me who Alan is.

If it's breaking your promise, I'll take
the blame.

She might get hurt. By me.

That guy has a gun. That's all he does.

We can stop him if we get there first.

Now tell me who Ellen is.

No.

Did you read the note your father wrote
to me?

All right, now what's that word?

Come on.

I...

And this one, Y -O -U.

You.

Now, the word in the middle is trust.

I trust you.

Now, your father wrote that to me.

Now, how come he trusts me to take care
of you?

And you don't trust me to take care of
him.

I found out something.

Cost me a deuce.

We'll meet all your expenses.

The reason your people didn't get a make
on the guy in the picture, he's from

the other side of town.

I need a name and address.

Goes by the name of Evan.

But that's probably phony.

He's been around the neighborhood asking
for Al. All right.

Now, you know who he might be, don't
you?

I want you to get good and lost.

I don't want to see you get hit.

Let Mark take you in the car. I need the
van.

It'll be right behind you. See what you
can learn.

Now, Fran, I do not want you to stop
anywhere.

Where are you going?

From here.

It smells a little like the lion's den.

I had Mr. Lewis check all the papers
before I filled in the name, so Oscar

wouldn't have any trouble with license
or taxes or anything like that.

All right, Ellie, I guess that's it.

No, no, I'm going for you.

Oh, no, you're not.

Look, Oscar's sending a friend, you're
sending a friend.

Give me those.

Hell, I mean it.

I really mean it.

If I let you go, you won't come back.

Al, please let me have all the time with
you I can.

Now I know.

You turn that way when you come to the
parking lot, right there.

Okay, good.

At the parking lot, Ed, we're going to
make a right, okay?

Got you.

on that side.

I think it's... Yeah, the first one,
that one. Ed, the first one on the left.

Joy, you remember her other name?

No. Ellen something.

Third floor near the elevator.

Okay, I'll take it. You go home.

Help you, sir.

Well, the last piece of hand -worked
basswood I saw was in Scotland.

Aberdeen. Dundee.

Well, the importer's in Aberdeen, and
that's where I go to buy this stuff.

You're Leroy Evans?

Yes, sir.

My name is Ironside.

You're police.

I wanted to ask you, Mr. Evans, about a
mutual friend of ours, Al Williams.

Oh, yes, you're fine. Oh, Al, the
barber.

Is there anything wrong there?

Why do you ask?

There is some trouble, isn't there?
Some.

We'd like to keep it from spreading.

Funny thing.

I was in Indiana to buy some wallet. It
was six or seven weeks ago, and I met

some relation of his there.

Promised to look him up and say hello.

Al Williams.

Then you're not a friend.

Oh, I never did find the man.

He dropped out of sight, Mr. Evans.

We're interviewing his friends.

But since you're not among them... I
won't take up any more of your time.

well, I'm sorry I couldn't help you. Oh,
no, it's all right. Just one last river

to cross.

Mark? Yes, Chief?

Nothing conclusive, but if he's the man,
I hope the visit will pin him down till

I get Al in custody.

Now, stay with him until you get
somebody to relieve you.

If he sneezes, I'll wipe his nose.

You know who it is.

Just listen.

Do you know where to get plastic
explosives?

Well, maybe, but... Get it.

I want you to rig it in an envelope to
look like a thousand dollars.

Wait a minute, wait a minute. I said I'd
set them up, not blow them up.

Something's happened. I gotta sit still
for a while.

Look, man, that stuff is dangerous.

Only if you open the letter.

Didn't find no one, did you?

Oh.

We will, honey.

You were pretty good at playing
detective.

I wasn't playing.

Excuse me, Joey.

I've got some information for you.

How's our young man?

Tougher than you are.

I think.

Ellen Young.

Port Authority.

Yeah, she's a secretary there. She took
the afternoon off, but she's not at

home. Ed called in. He used the fugitive
warrant and the manager's permission to

check out her apartment, and it's clean.

He's still got it staked out.

Ironside.

Yes.

Yes.

All right, we'll work on it.

Thank you.

And stay with him.

Oscar's alive.

Successful surgery.

Fool's luck.

His mumbling something seemed to be
saying, Tiny, Tiny... Tiny's? Ed

it. It's a local hangout near the
barbershop. Um, Tiny's Billiards and

Get a hold of Mark.

He's sitting on the furniture store.

Positive identification.

No, but she fits the description I got
at the Port Authority.

And she's sure in a hurry to get
someplace.

All right. Hail her.

Look at that.

No place for a lady.

I think we may just have Ellen Young.

I think you're not the only one who
thinks so.

Later.

I guess I'd say Allison.

I have something for Oscar Kern.

No, lady, what I got is for Al. But we
have... No, we don't. Hey, I'm sorry,

sweets, but it's Al's hand out of my
hand and no other way.

Ellen Young, don't be afraid. We're here
to help you.

Hold it!

Come on, man!

Miss Young, let's step outside.

Hey, I'm sorry, baby.

Lunch is over. You have to take a cab
back to work.

That's our man, all right. Had his store
covered front and rear, but a cat like

the angel would have rat holes he hasn't
even used yet.

Try to tail him, Mark.

But if you lose him, just remember he
wants out, too.

So he'll be following Ellen.

And that's bringing her to you right
now.

Ellen!

Ellen! Joey!

Oh, baby!

I had to show them where you live. They
want to help Daddy. Have you seen him?

Do you know where he is? Oh, your Daddy
is just fine, Joey, and he misses you so

much.

Miss Young.

Won't you sit down?

Mind you.

My name is Ironside.

What is this all about?

Where's Al Williams?

Al? Miss Young.

Listen to me.

We had the angel bottled up for a while
today.

But he's popped the cork now. He gets Al
or I do. Which?

Al didn't mean to hurt anyone. He was
just defending himself.

I know that.

Stop wasting your time.

Al is afraid for himself, but he's also
afraid of an eye for an eye and a son

for a son.

He's trying to draw the angel away from
Joey.

All right, Miss Young, what were you
doing at Tiny's?

I was picking up money.

Oscar Kearns sent $1 ,000.

Oscar Kearns is in the hospital. He sent
nothing. I just talked to the lab. They

opened that $1 ,000 envelope. It would
have blown up the whole billiard parlor.

I didn't abandon my kid, Ironside. I
left him with you.

What kind of a father do you think I'd
make?

Better than a dead one.

I was going to come to you as soon as he
got out of town.

He was going to send for us later.

I've had enough of you, both of you.

The stupidity of trying to handle this
kind of situation this way.

Chief, the man's a killer.

He's a killer. Well, with a little
cooperation from you, instead of trying

outsmart the whole police force, we
might put him out of business.

Now listen to me.

all the steps?

I think so.

All right, you go ahead. Do exactly as I
told you.

Okay.

All right, let's go.

Now, face me.

All right, now.

Now, Joey, you know that I've arrested
your father.

That's okay.

You mean it's okay if I go to jail?

He said you wouldn't.

He's the chief.

All right, now.

Officer Sanger and Sergeant Brown are
going to take your dad and Ellen away

a while. Not long. No kidding.

I did do something wrong.

But I've got to show some people some
proof that...

It wasn't my fault.

He'll help, won't he?

The point is, you've got to make up your
mind what you're going to do.

You want to go with them, or do you want
to stay here?

Can I come down on this?

Yes, you can. Every day.

I'll stay.
