Tonight's not a good time to be alone in
this part of town, Mr. Chong.

What are you doing here?

A man, it doesn't take a genius to
figure that out.

This is not according to the plan. The
plans have changed.

I want to talk to the Dutchman. That
won't be necessary.

Let's get out of here.

Give our regards to the Dutchman.

He was. It's Edward Chong.

We've been playing tag with him ever
since he left Hong Kong.

But he lost us in San Francisco two days
ago.

What's he doing here in the U .S.? He's
a courier.

We got a tip he was delivering high
-quality photographic negatives for a

counterfeit operation in L .A.

We were hoping he'd lead us to the big
guys.

What's going on? Say hello to George
Richards. He's with the Secret Service.

This is Charles Captain Devane, L .A.
Metro.

My pleasure. Now, George was telling me
that our victim here... Edward Chong is

carrying counterfeit plates of U .S.
currency in the United States. We

guy named Jan Velgen, a .k .a. the
Dutchman.

You see, the Dutchman's been on the
periphery of a dozen or more counterfeit

operations in Europe and Asia.

His front is import -export, but his
real business is paper. You name the

currency, he can get the paper to print
it on.

The only catch is we've never caught him
red -handed.

This is the first time we know of he's
taken a crack at U .S. currency.

Sounds like a real interesting guy, huh?

One of the best. You think it was smart
of him to pull a stunt like this?

Murder isn't a detriment to style.

My bet is someone horned in on his
operation and took it over.

Well, it's a murder case now.

I suggest we make this a joint effort
between us and the Secret Service. Good.

I'd like to start by paying a visit to
Bellville and rattle him a bit. Maybe

he'll lead us to something.

Well, before we jump in his face, let me
check with Bunker Forgery.

They may have some local angle on the
counter for the ring, okay? Yeah, that's

good idea. All right, let's get on it.
All right.

Thanks, Captain.

Edward Chong travels 10 ,000 miles.

Dodges U .S. federal agents for seven
days through five different countries.

Just as I'm about to get my hands on the
greatest set of negatives ever made,

he's killed!

I have two tons of paper coming in!

Without those negatives, it's worthless!

They'll surface. Whoever took them is
going to use them soon.

That's very astute.

Whoever has those plates must go through
me. I have the best paper. There's too

much money to be made here.

I have buyers standing in line for U .S.
currency.

Find out who did this to me.

At best, I can offer 32 cents on a
dollar.

We'll take five million to start.

A million's thick.

You got it.

So where do you come up with that kind
of money?

Hey, come on, buddy. That's my business.

How do you intend to dispose of $5
million in funny money? See, I'm on the

of the Federal Reserve. I thought I
laundered stuff that a dunder meant,

The price is 38 cents on the dollar.

Yeah, well, until I see what you got, 32
is the best I'm prepared to offer.

Okay.

Go ahead, Mr. Canova.

Look to your heart's content.

Oh, yeah.

This is beautiful.

This is beautiful.

Tell you what.

I'm going to tell my investors to pay 35
cents.

Excellent. Then you'll be in touch.

Right.

Very soon.

Congratulations. Let's not break out the
party hats and horns just yet, fellas.

We are very close now.

I want you to follow this guy everywhere
he goes.

This is just like old times, isn't it?

You and me eating spaghetti together?

Except Mom's not here.

Yeah, it'd be nice if she were, wouldn't
it?

Here, let me show you how to do that.

You do that on there.

Dad.

What? That's not polite.

You know what you should do?

You should go to school with spaghetti
all over your face, and you should leave

it there all day.

Dad. What would your teachers think of
that, huh?

Oh, I like... school book at your place.
Well, we'll just have to go get it

then.

Hey, what have you

been

doing all day?

Oh, I'm finishing up the bog cake. What
a mess.

Let's get something to eat.

I'm sorry.

Al has Alvin, and I have to be home when
he brings her. About an hour.

How about tomorrow?

Hey, honey.

I'll see you second.

Yeah.

Okay.

Maybe tomorrow.

Yeah, Charlie, what's up?

Well, I checked with Bunko Forgery, and
they are involved in a counterfeit

operation which may be related to your
case.

There is an officer undercover on the
inside.

Oh, that's good for us.

It's Al Novak.

Al Novak.

Can you handle that?

Yeah, look, I'll go talk to George, and
tomorrow morning I'll go down and see Al

Novak. Listen, Hunter, I don't want to
hear about any punch -outs between you

two. No, I'm over that.

Do you have enough time to get your
homework done tonight? Yeah. Yeah?

I can help if you want.

No, it's okay.

Okay.

Whatever you say, kiddo.

Buckle up, okay?

A cop.

I knew it.

It just didn't feel right. I knew it.

I got the biggest deal going and I had
to run into a cop.

Well, I'm not going to let him screw
this up.

Want me to kill him?

No. You fuck the cop and they'll be all
over us.

Why don't you cut him in on the deal?

Yeah, give him more money than he ever
thought possible.

He'd go for it.

No.

I've got a much better idea.

Hi, Percy.

Okay. Remember, I may be 10 or 15
minutes late, so wait for me in the

principal's office.

Okay. Allison, do you understand?

Yeah, I do. Okay, sweetheart. Bye -bye.
Bye.

Hey,

Hunter.

How you doing, Al?

All right.

I want to introduce you to somebody over
here.

Al Novak.

It's George Richards.

It's a secret service. He and I are
teaming up to work on the Chong killing.

you doing, George?

Lieutenant Stenner from Forger told me
all about it, that you thought the Chong

killing had something to do with the
case I'm working on. That's a good

possibility, yeah.

Yeah. Well, why don't you guys fill me
in on what you're up to?

Yeah, yeah.

Let's go find a table, huh? Yeah.

Edward Chong came in from San Francisco
carrying probably the best U .S.

currency negatives ever made.

He was murdered and the place taken.

Now, we think he was coming here to see
a man named Jan Velboom. Wait, you're

talking about the Dutchman?

Right. So you know him?

Yeah, he's a paper man. Probably the
best.

He's also got this associate named
Haworth. Right.

Now, we've been told you've been working
on a guy named Morrison, and he wants

to sell counterfeit U .S. currency.

That's just very interesting.

He took the other day to show me the
negatives.

The same negatives Chong brought down
from San Francisco, no doubt.

So if Morrison killed Chong for the
negatives, he's got the upper hand for

You know, I've had four meetings with
this guy.

All of them talked about his price.

He wants 38 cents a dollar. I've offered
him 35.

He'll probably go to the Dutchman for
the paper.

Has Morrison said anything to you at all
about delivery day?

No, not yet. He's still looking for a
printer.

How do you guys want to work this?

We'll need your help in making a deal
with Morrison.

Yeah, well, that's all right. I've got a
meeting set up with him later. I'm

trying to close this thing out.

Now, we were going to pay a visit to
Velbo.

But if that's going to screw you up, we
won't.

Well, no, that's good to put some
pressure on Morrison to help him make

fast.

Now, go ahead. Go ahead.

Let's see what they do.

Good. And when they go to print, we'll
nail them.

Morrison! It's not possible. I'm telling
you what I've heard.

So he killed Chong, took the negatives,
and cut me out of the deal.

He doesn't know printing. He doesn't
know paper.

He'll botch the damn deal!

What do you want me to do?

I don't want you to let him out of your
sight.

Wouldn't it be better if I...

Oh, Mr. Balboon, can you tell us exactly
what your business is?

Yes, of course.

It's import -export.

Import -export. What is it you import?

Anything of interest.

Mainly textiles. So your business must
take you all over the world. Oh, yes.

Do you know an Edward Chong?

Chong?

No, I don't think I do know.

Well, then, how is it that my agency has
a photograph of you?

Having dinner with Edward Chong at the
Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong only last

month. Edward Chong, yes.

Yes, yes, I remember him now.

We weren't close.

Just business acquaintances, you know.
Business acquaintances.

What is his business?

Textiles. Textiles as well.

So he must come to the United States
quite often. I'm sure he does, just as I

had to go to Hong Kong.

It's all part of the business, you know.
How long have you known Edward Chong?

Can't be sure.

Uh, if it's the same person, I should
say about a couple of years. I think

eight and a half years.

Gentlemen, what is the point of all
this?

Edward Chung has been murdered.

No.

You didn't know?

No.

By whom?

That's the big question here, Mr.
Garboon. Do you know anybody who want

dead? Absolutely not.

You don't know anybody at all that would
want Mr.

Chong dead?

No.

No, in this business you meet people
from all over the world. I was just one

the many people Edward Chong dealt with.

I'm Officer Hendricks. I'm a friend of
your daddy. He sent me to find you. He

needs to talk to you.

But my mom was going to pick me up.

Yeah, I know.

I got a telephone in my car. We can call
him from there.

Okay?

Okay.

Very sorry. I got hung up in traffic.

So, did you get in touch with your
people?

Yes, yes, I did.

They're prepared to pay your price,
provided they see a sample and a

date soon. You stay in real close touch
with your people, don't you? Well, I

have to, otherwise I don't do business.

I'm very hands -on, huh?

Hands -on. I like that.

I'm very hands -on, too.

Right now, I have my hands on a very
valuable item. That's great.

not to go anywhere with a stranger.

She's right.

But I'm not a stranger.

I'm a police officer.

Let's call your daddy before we go just
to make sure.

Okay.

I'll call his office.

Hello. I got her.

Good, good.

Put her on.

Yeah.

It's your daddy.

Daddy?

Allison? We have your daughter, cop.

You okay,

baby?

Yeah, honey, I do want to see you, but
it's going to be a little while before I

can do that.

Look, Daddy's got some business first,
okay? And I just want you to take it

easy, all right? You're going to be just
fine.

These people are going to treat you just
fine.

Daddy, I want to go home.

I know you do, sweetheart, but it's
going to be a while before you can do

honey. So, uh...

You just sit tight, and I'm going to
come get you as soon as I can.

Okay?

Okay.

Honey, I'm going to call you real soon.

I love you.

I love you, too.

You want to see your daughter alive
again.

What do you want? Time.

Three days.

No interference from the police for
three days. I don't care how you get it

done, Al. Just get it done.

And that goes for me and the Dutchman.

No. I told you to threaten me, you scum
cop!

Three days, no interference, or your
little girl dies.

Got it?

Stay there.

Excuse me.

I'm Alison Novak's mother. I'm here to
pick her up.

Mrs. Novak, may I please talk to you a
minute?

Chris? Are you okay?

Huh?

Yeah, what happened?

It's at school. Some guy showed up and
flashed a badge, said he was a police

officer. We got anything?

Well, nothing yet. We got a full
neighborhood search going.

Tap going in on Chris's phone.

Sketch artist on the way. We're doing
everything we possibly can.

Ranged people who are thick, twisted.

Allison's going to be fine. My little
baby out there with God knows who.

She could be cold.

Chris, I want you to calm down. I want
you to calm down. It's nothing like

You don't know that. We have to believe
that she's going to be back with us

soon. Do you know how many kidnapped
victims?

Now, listen.

Listen to me. Allison is not a
statistic. She's our daughter.

Now, she's going to be fine.

We're going to find her, and she's going
to be fine.

I promise.

I told Chris this is no pervert or child
molester. That guy wasn't just looking

for any kid. He was looking for Allison.

What about the revenge factor here,
John? Well, we thought about that.

We ran down Novick's arrest sheet, and
there are some possibilities, but

still locked up.

Excuse me.

I'm going to take Chris home.

All right. You sit tight over there and
see who calls me.

Yes, sir.

Hey, Al, can you think of anyone,
someone you busted, who'd want to hurt

like this?

Uh, no, I don't know.

Let me think about it. When I come up
with something, I'll let you know. What

about your current cases?

Yeah, what about this counterfeiting
case you're working on?

No, I don't think so. You know, you
never can tell.

Maybe it's somebody from the past. Look,
I said I don't know.

Probably some screwball guy who wants
money.

Yeah, we thought about that, but don't
forget the kidnapper's wearing a police

uniform. My case is in no way connected
with Allison.

Al, it's our only clue.

Maybe we should pick this guy Morrison
up. Captain, please, no.

Just let me handle this.

What a wonderful day.

You're greedy, Bart.

Very greedy.

Business is now on my terms.

What are you talking about? We always
had fair business deals.

Those days of me being your middleman
for a lousy 15 % are over.

And now you have the plate. You do have
the plate.

I can turn you over to the cops for
murder.

And while I rot in jail, all that pretty
paper of yours will rot on your shelf.

What's the deal?

50 -50. My place, your paper.

Killing Chong was stupid and unethical.

Now we have a cop on our back. Forget
about the cops. I've got them

Oh, yeah?

Yeah. There was a cop nosing around, so
I took his kid.

Yeah.

I snatched her, and he knows it.

And he's the one who's going to keep the
cops off our back. I figure three days

will do it.

Is your paper in?

Yes. Then don't worry about it. It'll
all go fast and sweet.

And Peterson will do the printing?

Of course. He's the best, isn't he?

We have the best plate, the best
printer, and now the best paper.

You're very confident.

Send your paper to the plant on
Sepulveda tomorrow morning.

Guys, none.

Killing a cop's kid?

Oh, right. I couldn't possibly do
business with a man like that.

What about the deal?

A deal is my last resort.

If we don't retrieve the plates.

But then we have till tomorrow morning,
don't we?

Don't be stupid, Hayworth.

Who? What do you want? My kid.

Where is she?

I don't know.

Don't push it.

Where is she?

I don't know.

Morrison has her. Yeah, he has her, and
you know where she is.

No.

No, I don't. I swear.

I told you, you're a dead man. I am
telling you, I don't know. You and

are in with a Dutchman. Are you crazy?

We don't want any part of kidnapping.

Now, where is she?

Use your head. If I knew where she was,
I'd tell you.

I'm not a kidnapper.

Morrison's the one you want.

I don't know where your kid is.

No phone call, no ransom note, no
nothing.

How are they handling it?

Well, considering, Chris seems to be
doing okay. Al, I don't know. You know,

had a funny reaction when I suggested
the case he's working on had something

do with Allison's kidnapping.

Hey, you've got to be upset.

God forbid anything should happen to
Allison.

Yeah. Well, I'll get on this list of
printers and get back to you. Yeah.

very much, George. Appreciate it.

Allison, look what I've got.

Come

on,

you gotta eat something.

You don't want your old men to think
they're nice.

Sportsman.

Listen, sport.

How'd you like to meet me in a fair
fight, Mr. Sport?

All things being equal, man to man,
Marquise of Queen...

Can I come in? Sure.

Thanks. How you doing?

I don't know.

All I can think about is Allie.

Anything I can do for you?

Yeah.

You can help me find her.

You know, I've been thinking about this.

I think we ought to bring Morrison in.

No.

Hunter, I already told you about that
now.

Morrison's got nothing to do with this.
But, Al, if she's been kidnapped for a

ransom, we'd have heard something by
now. A phone call, a letter. Allie's

to be fine. She's going to be all right.

But she's been kidnapped. You can't be
sure of that.

Hunter, you butt out of this.

You know, your behavior is very peculiar
here, Al. Yeah?

Well, you don't worry about my behavior.
You just worry about your job.

You know, you don't act like a man whose
daughter's in danger of losing her

life.

Now, what's going on?

Where's Al?

Inside, talking to Chris.

How could you not tell me? I'm her
mother.

I didn't know what to do. I had to
protect Alice. She is our child.

You had no right to make that decision.

I was scared for her, Chris.

Now look, I know I made the wrong
decision. I know that.

I should have told you what I was doing.
I should have brought you into it. I

apologize. I have been going out of my
mind with worry.

If anything happens to her.

Nothing's going to happen to her.

Now, look, they're not going to hurt
her.

She's their insurance. When they get
what they want, we'll get Allie.

Look, Captain, I know I'm going to have
to answer for this, but first, let's

find Allie.

What do we got on the printer?

We don't have anything on the printer.
Al, do you have any idea where they

be printing? They must have started by
now. Yeah, Morrison said he wanted three

days. Well, we'd better get going.

Yeah, but I know he's not going to hurt
Ali until he's finished with his

business. The Dutchman's our only lead
now, Charlie. That's right, and he knows

who the printer is. And where the
printing will take place.

Let's turn the Dutchman on his head.

I'll be down at Metro with Swanson.
Right.

I have nothing to say to you, Sergeant.
Either arrest me or leave my premises.

I want to have a little word with you,
okay? Come on in here.

Get in there.

Have a seat.

There you go.

I'm only going to say this once.

Where's the little girl? I don't know
what you're talking about. Oh, yeah, you

do. Where is she? I have nothing to do
with this. You and Morrison are

counterfeiting American dollars. This is
ridiculous. I don't know what you're

talking about.

Really.

Come here.

Come here.

You see that out there?

That's where you're going if you don't
tell me where she is. Now, where is she?

Where is she? They're using the old
Tribune building on Sepulveda.

All right, we all know what to do,
right?

Yeah, let's get moving.

Okay, we're going in.

Well?

And then she says Grant never looked
this good.

I'm out of here.
