Don't put on a light.

Joey.

Joey Curtis.

But not that sure that they didn't see
me come in.

Mannix. I'm hurt.

Mannix.

Beat. What happened, Joey?

Green. Easy.

It'll keep.

Easy, Joey.

Kelly.

Green.

Frame.

Yeah, this is an emergency operator. I
need an ambulance. Name is Maddox. I'm

17 Paseo Verde.

Yes, sir. That's 17 Paseo... Hello?

Hello?

I've done the phone bit.

Good evening.

Where is our young friend?

Well, you got me.

Whoever he was, he came in here and went
out with the speed of light.

Hey, this guy's an investigator, man.

Really?

Well, Mr. Mannix, that may put a
slightly different complexion on the

but I do hope you'll choose to
cooperate.

Why not?

Splendid. Find him.

Why did he come to you?

Well, I don't know.

Say, by the way, who is he?

Oh, come off it, Mr.

Mannix. Please don't play the fool.

It will only cause a good deal of
unpleasantness.

I suggest you trot him out and answer my
question and quickly.

Where do you get off breaking in here
like this?

In your business, I should think you'd
have learned the realities.

You'd be out of your mind to cut it this
close.

I want the boy.

I did get that call through before you
cut the line. Where is he?

Yeah, baby.

Where is he?

He's coming, too.

Mr. Mannix, are you all right?

All right, Peggy.

Mr. Mannix, can you feel this?

Of course I can feel that.

What are you doing here, Peggy?

Piling up overtime?

The police phoned me when the ambulance
call came in.

Mr. Maddox, please lay back.

He's gone.

Who? Well, that kid, Joey.

No one could be there.

What do you mean, no one could be there?

That's where we found you.

Well, that's all very well, Peggy, but
we have to have a charge number. Now, if

I don't, Wickersham's going to have my
head.

As a matter of fact, ever since Mannix
left Intertech, one hour a day is

to Haydegan.

Now, who do we charge it to?

Well, with any kind of luck, we can
charge it to us.

But suppose, uh, just suppose we don't
come up with a satisfactory answer.

Intertech's fabulous computers knock
them up with bingo?

Parker, think what you're saying.

Well, no matter how remote, there's
always a possibility.

The whole of civilization is built on
faith, Parker.

Don't waver.

know any more about him, Lieutenant.

Joey Curtis was a kid I used on a job
once because he knew Cleveland.

This was 1965?

Yeah, October.

When the going got rough, he stayed
right in there with me. Now, he may be a

punk, but whatever he was, you liked
him.

And I don't think he had any real
connections then. He was on the fringe,

useful, trying to get noticed, so some
of the heavy money would pick him up and

make him a member.

Looks like someone did all right.

What do you got?

Assorted. Some good news, some bad.

No, I never saw him in Los Angeles. I
never heard of him outside of Cleveland.

Nobody else did either.

Yeah, yeah, I'm listening. Go ahead,
Lieutenant.

Chick Muller, never heard of him. Ditto
Red Jake.

Yeah, ditto, ditto, ditto.

Uh, Lieutenant, do me a favor.

See what Cleveland can make.

Look, what do you think we are around
here, Mannix? An extension of your

Lieutenant, I'm an outraged citizen.

I was hauled out of bed and brutally
assaulted.

Okay, we'll do what we can.

Ditto all of them. There is no Joey
Curtis.

Kelly Green frame.

That's the key.

Frame.

When I knew Joey Curtis, he thought a
work of art meant counterfeit money.

Frame. That's a frame -up.

Kelly Green.

Color, description.

Best assumption is it's a name.

So we looked for somebody with the name
Kelly Green.

That's, uh, what the computer said.

I took the liberty of going to, well,
you know, a certain organization.

Now, don't be angry, because it worked.

Intertech put Kelly Green frame through
the computer, and what do you think?

That I'm going to strangle you.

Well, there's a girl named Margaret
Green, who is the daughter of a

judge, Francis M. Green, and her
nickname just happens to be Kelly.

Right.

Kelly Green.

Reputedly, a real swinging doll.

Even the computer drooled a little.

Mr. McClure, how did it happen?

Where is he? I want to see him.

All right, I'll wait for you.

No, I won't say a word to anyone.

Mr. Mannix is here, Miss Kelly.

Thank you, Norma.

Miss Green?

You're a private investigator, Mr.
Mannix.

Yes, that's right.

About 2 a .m. this morning, a young
fellow just got out the words Kelly

Freeman and passed out.

What's that got to do with me?

Well, your name is Green and your
nickname is Kelly.

And I'm in a frame.

Sorry, try another color.

All right, black. Black hair, about 25
or 6 years old. Average height, slim.

Good -looking boy.

You know anybody like that?

No.

His name was Joey Curtis.

What happened to him?

He was beaten half to death by
professionals.

This boy, was he a friend of yours?

I knew him in Cleveland.

He did me a favor once. I liked him.

And if I knew this Joey Curtis, which I
don't, what was I supposed to do? Talk

to me.

Tell me if you're in some kind of
trouble.

Tell me why somebody would want Joey
worked over.

I told you, Mr. Mannix.

I don't know him.

I can't help you.

I'm sorry.

Excuse me.

Yes, sir.

I'd like to see Judge Green for a
minute. A frame, Mr. Mannix?

What sort of a frame?

I don't know, sir.

Well, why should this man come to you
with this cryptic phrase?

It was cryptic because he didn't have
any more breath.

I understand.

Now, this whole theory of yours rests on
the assumption that this young man was

talking about my daughter.

That's right, sir.

Yet Kelly told you she didn't know a
Joey Curtis.

I think she was lying.

Mr. Mannix, you said you'd gone to the
police.

Well, I suggest you leave it there. Good
afternoon.

Judge.

Your daughter may be up to her ears in
something she can't handle.

Mr. Mannix, if you expect me to hire you
to protect my daughter from this

mysterious frame, the answer is no.

Thank you for your time, Judge.

Not at all.

I appreciate your concern.

Kelly, darling, I want to talk to you.

Peggy, get me Lieutenant Hargrove on the
phone.

There's big money inside.

Oh? Morgan Farrell.

Well, roving vice president of the Mafia
Acceptance Corporation.

Hello. Lieutenant Hargrove, please.

Thank you.

Two back in five minutes.

What's Farrell want?

He didn't say. Said it was very
important.

And if he didn't see you immediately,
buildings all over town will fall down.

Very interesting.

You see, Peggy, you ask a few questions
in the right places and suddenly it

becomes earthquake country.

Oh, uh, hold up on that phone call to
Lieutenant Hargrove, huh? Oh, Mr.

Farrell's not alone.

Bodyguard?

Body.

Mr. Maddox?

I'm Morgan Farrell.

This is Miss Hampstead from my office.

Miss Hampstead, a pleasure.

Oh, can I get you a drink or something?

Perhaps later?

You know, Mr. Mannix, I love books ever
since I was a kid.

Just bought a whole library from some
guy. A phony.

Never cut the pages.

Anybody knows that.

Even if you don't read them, you always
cut the pages.

Right.

Well, now, what can I do for you, Mr.
Farrell?

I've heard a lot about you, Mannix, from
some of my associates.

We don't have to use names.

I've got a job for you.

That's what I'm here for.

We have an outfit in Hong Kong that
deals in gold. That is, we don't. A U

citizen isn't allowed to own gold or
trade in it.

But there's a Chinese who has an outfit,
Lim Young. He does.

Farrow and Associates have sunk a big
stake in Lim Young and Company Limited.

And the way these deals work out, it's
mostly bookkeeping.

You understand?

Oh, bookkeeping.

Right. And that comes down to who does
the bookkeeping.

And this Chinese brand of double -entry
stuff is mighty peculiar.

I can imagine.

Now, we sent our own security men over,
and they've come back, maybe a little

fatter, maybe not.

But there's been no change in the
bookkeeping.

Now, what I want you to do, Mannix, is
hop a plane to Hong Kong and find out

what's going on. You can write your own
check.

Miss Hampstead, who's got the whole deal
in her head, will go along.

With me?

Naturally.

Miss Hampstead is a first -class
bookkeeper.

A bookkeeper?

First class.

She'll give you the dope on the business
and the characters and what they may be

trying to pull off.

Miss Hampstead is a very efficient young
lady.

I have taken the liberty of making up a
little schedule for you, Mr. Mannix.

First, we'll need your passport.

It is in order, isn't it?

Oh, yes, of course.

Good.

TOA is holding accommodations for us.

First class, naturally.

Of course.

They'll need our passports by 2 p .m.
Okay, Mannix.

Naturally. I mean, who can turn down all
of this in first class?

Why isn't he in a hospital?

There's nothing more a hospital could do
for him. He has my own doctor.

We're arranging for a nurse.

You didn't tell me he was this bad.

You said just a couple of bruises.

Anyone thrown from a moving car is going
to hurt.

And look like it.

You'll be all right, Kelly.

Is that what your doctor said?

Kelly, please.

Your friend Mannix told me you were
worked over by professionals.

Thugs. Who sent them? Who hired them?

Let it rest, Kelly.

Don't start turning over rocks.

You'll never know what you'll find
underneath them.

I'm a big girl.

Big enough to love a man.

Old enough to take whatever trouble
comes with him.

I want Joey in a hospital.

I want the police called in.

No.

Joey, Joey.

Whatever happens, whatever it is, we can
stay together and come out on the other

side. We can.

you in a hospital.

Look at you well.

You're going to be so ugly.

I'm going to have to learn to stand the
sight of you.

No, Kelly.

No. No hospitals.

No police.

Kelly, they'll ask questions, and we
can't stand the answers.

The men who beat me up, Kelly,

those men were paid by your father.

I'm certainly impressed with Farrow &
Associates. A very generous

To think all this money just for
incidental expenses.

I certainly hope that the generosity of
the organization extends down through

the entire personnel.

Oh, excuse me a moment.

Peggy? Yeah?

Miss Hempstead and I are leaving on a
trip.

Oh. Business.

We're going to Hong Kong almost
immediately.

Why not?

I mean, there's nothing special cooking
around here.

And who wants to be in town during the
earthquake weather?

Head for the hills, I always say.

Oh, by the way, have you seen my
passport?

Didn't you have it? Now I remember. It's
in the security files.

I'll be back in a minute.

What's this about Hong Kong?

The big payoff.

Days of wine and roses with Miss
Hampstead.

The question is, how does Morgan Farrow
tie in with Kelly Green?

Ask Miss Green.

Yeah, what if I could find her?

Frame.

Usually means pressure, but pressure on
Kelly.

For what?

Money. This is an outfit that spits
money.

What else could Kelly Green have?

A father.

That's a judge.

Judge Francis M. Green.

Exactly. If he's in their pocket.

And maybe they're putting the squeeze on
him and using Kelly whether she knows

it or not.

Hey, what do I do with Miss Hampstead?

Well, tell her I'm out looking for her
passport. I don't know, show her

of Hong Kong. Get it stoned.

Everything?

That's no trouble, Joe.

Here, Judge Green's calendar for the
next couple of days. Yeah, thanks,

Yeah, people of the state of California
versus Philip.

People of the state of California versus
Jennings. People of the state of

California versus Mariko.

Rudolph, violation section 187, penal
rule.

Murder.

Rudy Mariko?

Yeah, one and the same.

I didn't know Judge Green was sitting on
the Mariko case.

Well, that all depends.

See, first he has to rule on the plea
for change of venue.

See, Mariko's attorneys say he'd never
get a fair trial here.

So they ask for a move and hold the
trial in the north.

And Judge Green's got to decide, huh?

What's the word?

Which one? The top, middle, or the
bottom? Package.

All right, on top, Rudy Marico is
feeling fragile and decided he's

the smell of gas.

As in chamber? Right, thus making him
talkative.

And in the middle is the good judge
himself being pressured from both sides.

The word is that Marico's old
acquaintance is uptight.

And they don't want him chatting about
them, you see.

The Plains is like Morgan Farrell.

Well, I'd say he's one.

So Rudy Marico is now prepared to sing
along.

And tomorrow, Judge Green decides where
he hits the high notes.

Leading to what?

Well, look at it this way.

Right now, Rudy Marico is in maximum
security.

But if the trial's held up north and
he's moved in a car plane...

A world full of strangers, full of
surprises.

If somewhere en route, that security
relaxes.

What?

Mariko goes up in smoke.

You want this one too, Cal?

Here comes the jerk.

Yeah, that one and a cosmetic case.

Boys, if you wouldn't mind for a minute.

Excuse me, Dad. I mean, you're... Yeah,
yeah, yeah.

Kelly,

do you mind getting rid of your friends
for a minute?

I'm sorry. I don't want to play the big
scene.

Kelly! Easy, George. No, easy.

Easy.

Easy.

Easy.

Ellie, I don't want any more of this.

I'm sorry, Kelly.

It's okay.

I'm going to have to send you a bill,
Judge.

Kelly, will you go downstairs with me?

No.

Then we'll talk here.

You're really going to play the scene,
aren't you?

It won't do you any good.

Don't you understand I'm through?

I don't want to talk about it.

Kelly, no matter what you've been led to
believe, how much you're in love, no

matter how we've argued,

Please have a little faith in me.

I'm your father and I love you very
much.

I believe you.

That's what makes it so ugly.

What do you want me to do? Tell me.

You love me.

I want you to love Joey just as much.

Well, maybe I don't know him. We could
talk. I could try.

Liar.

You had him beaten.

You had him hurt.

You believe that?

I hope you love me very much, Father.

I want you to hurt, too.

Then you've won something, I suppose,
Kelly.

You hurt me.

Get the bags.

Let her go.

I'll let you out when I'm good and
ready.

Will you behave yourself?

Will you stop the car?

Now you listen to me.

Those planes of yours aren't surf pumps.

They're bad news. I'm not interested.

Will you stop the car?

your life in danger is that what my
father told you to say sit down here

Stay quiet, Joey, or I'll have to hurt
you again.

The games are over.

Mannix is causing real trouble.

So we do it the nasty way.

Tell your pigeon the facts.

Happy honeymoon.

Keep your eye on him.

It's not bad, then.

It's worse.

I... I lied to you.

About everything.

Every time.

From scratch.

Right up to telling you your father paid
someone to beat me up.

He didn't.

McClure had somebody work me over.

The idea was...

Dr. Kahn, you make you fall for me.

Then your father gets shook up.

And when McClure promises that something
might happen to you, he decides to

trade a favor for a favor.

Get somebody named Rudy Mariko out in
the open for a hit.

Why were you beaten then?

Because you worked.

I shut you up. You fell.

And I went right over the cliff with
you.

I fell in love with you.

I told him I wanted out.

I wanted you.

I wanted to tell you.

Kelly, I'm... I'm... A man I love.

And I take whatever trouble comes with
him.

All of it?

And Stone calls sober.

I'm sorry, Miss Hampstead, but that Hong
Kong trip is off.

You see, there's going to be a change of
venue.

Unfortunately, I'm working on a case
involving Rudy Marico.

I will tell Mr. Farrow.

I don't think he'll like it.

Farrow and his troops are going to be
after you, and soon.

I sure hope so.

Peggy, you stick around. I may need you.

Where are you going?

I've got to see Judge Green.

I don't know where he is.

He does this sometimes when he's upset
or a case troubles him.

Does what?

Well, he goes off so he can think.

Oh, where?

I'm sorry, sir. I can't tell you that.

Look, I've got to see him tonight. Kelly
is... Miss Green is in serious trouble.

I don't know.

Now, I mean it when I say she's in
serious trouble.

Well, all right.

It's a small cabin up near Lake
Arrowhead, 55 Bellevue Road.

Mannix, I don't know whether you're a
madman or just totally unprincipled, but

you are going to leave here, and at
once.

You think it's going to be that easy,
huh, Judge?

Give Mariko a change of venue, get him
out of jail, and on his way to wherever

they told you?

Seems simple enough.

No suspicion on you.

You really think that's a way to help
Kelly?

I assure you, Mannix, you're wrong.

Terribly wrong.

Kelly has spoken to me. She wants to be
alone, to think about this fellow.

She's reconsidering this infatuation.

And I have some thinking to do myself.

Alone.

I'm giving the Mariko situation a going
over.

Tomorrow I have to make a decision on
the facts.

You're down on your knees, aren't you,
Judge?

They got to Kelly.

The one thing in the world that you
really care about. And they're putting a

squeeze on good and tight.

I could make my own decisions.

Even if it costs Kelly her life? I'm
trying to save her life.

Do you think after 20 years on the
bench, I'd prefer justice just to keep

daughter away from a boy I don't even
know?

No.

They made it perfectly clear to me.

If I didn't do what they wanted, if I
disqualified myself,

there'd be an accident.

A dirty accident.

Kelly and Joey Curtis.

Maybe both of them stinking of liquor.

Or shot full of drugs. Found dead in
Mexico.

Or on a mountain road in the Sierras.

Somewhere.

She's all I've got.

A wild rebel kid, but... She's all I've
got.

How a man could lie to himself.

Tonight I was ready to believe
objectively, judicially, that Mariko

very well be unable to stand trial
fairly here.

I hate to say this, Judge, but even if
you do what they want, I don't think

there's a chance in the world you'll
ever see Kelly again.

If they do anything to Kelly... Now,
there's one way we can get her back, if

you're willing to gamble.

Gamble? Kelly's life on what? On me.

And an idea.

Now, it's not a very good gamble, but
it's the only one in town.

Don't you realize if you interfere that
I might louse things up sure?

If I do nothing, I won't be responsible
for her death.

But that's the only difference.

Now, there's one way we might get her
back alive and make this gamble work.

You've got to call me and say you're
going to the police and spill a whole

story.

And it's up to you, Judge.

My number's here on this card.

Her life depends on your call.

Hello?

Oh, Mr. Mannix, I was right about Morgan
Farrow's troops.

There's a couple of strange -looking
characters lurking around outside.

Good. We might need him. Now, listen to
me, Peggy.

In about an hour, you lock up shop and
get in your car and drive off. Park a

couple blocks away, then double back and
stay out of sight.

Now, if it looks like I'm going on a
little trip, you get on that phone fast,

huh? Right.

Hello, Mannix.

I've been acting as your answering
service. I hope you don't mind.

Not at all.

While you were out, Judge Green has been
trying to reach you.

Make the call.

This is Mannix.

The police are on their way here now.

I'm going to tell them what I know, as
you suggested.

Yes, sir.

Mannix, you've got yourself a client.

I want you to consult with the police
and proceed.

Yes, sir.

And I'm sorry what this will mean for
you.

That's unimportant now.

Oh, Mannix.

Yes, sir.

What sort of a chance do we have?

Well, I, uh...

I can't really estimate that.

I'll be in touch.

The plane under call?

Right.

Get her to the field.

Joey and the girl.

We'll make it a full load.

Oh, then I get to see Hong Kong after
all, huh?

That's a break you missed for good.

Like my boys are cutting it pretty
close.

What boys?

The police helicopter.

Not to mention the boys on wheels.

Sure, sure. You've got a stakeout.

Take a look at it, Farrell.

Would I have gone back to my place when
I knew you were looking for me? Or send

word back with Miss Hampstead?

I had to find Kelly somehow.

Beginning to get the picture?

You want to load up Romeo and his chick?
Get him aboard.

Hurry. Okay.

Let's get him out of there That

was

communications the cars haven't found
him yet, maybe the helicopters will

I hope so.

Snap it up.

I'm sorry, Mannix.

You'd be better off staying, Pharaoh. No
matter what happens in the Mariko deal,

you'd make out. Your connections, money.

Belief. He wasn't bluffing. You've blown
it, Pharaoh.

That's no police chopper.

That's Navy.

Good try, Mannix.

Let's get moving.

Farrow, the minute you roll that plane,
you'll be a kidnapper. You know the

penalty for kidnapping.

That's not Navy.

Go up. We're going to run.

You'll go around them.

Get him to a hospital.

We'll need an ambulance.

Easy, darling.

Joey!

Joe!

Maddox?

It's going to be all right, Kelly.

We've come a long way since Cleveland,
Joey.
