Leonard leaves his office every day at 12 .35 to go to lunch.
He never eats in the same place.
Now he gets back to his office at 2 .30.
He jogs every day at the beach at 4.
That's his house.
It cost him $200 ,000.
That's his wife and kids.
Now, he goes to church every Sunday at 11, on the nose.
He's never late for church.
He comes out of the garage, and he turns right.
Well, that's it.
We can hit him outside his office building at lunchtime.
Or down at the beach.
We hit him and we've got nothing but trouble.
Okay.
What do we do?
We let him eat up bits and pieces of our operation until there's nothing left?
Why are we in the family if we have to do this thing ourselves?
You know, you sound like it's 1925.
Look, we go to the family, we tell them he's trying to muscle in on us, and they
stop him, that's all.
No mutt, no fuss, no bother.
That's the way it's done, Terry.
And what do they say about the Cobra boys? I mean, when there's a chance to
up, who do they think of? The guys that whine and yell for help?
It'll never happen. You're looking already for a promotion?
Three weeks we've been running this outfit, and you're looking for a
three weeks since Papa retired.
We gotta make a move, some move.
Question is, which one?
Now, do we get later ourselves?
Do we go to the family and let them handle it?
Or do we figure out something in between? Now, that's what we've got to
Let's say we go to the family. Not with our first trouble.
We've got to prove we've got the right to Papa's place, and we're not going to
prove that by running to the family with the first mess we come on. Then what
are we in the family for?
For money, for muscle, for organization.
Not for them to wipe our nose for us if we catch a cold.
Look, if it comes to a hit, then we go to the family. Anything less, we take
care of ourselves. Now, how does that sound, Jamie?
Well, now, that all depends on what you plan to do.
Well, we've got to let Lanner know he can't move in on us.
Like, for instance, we plant a small bomb in his garage.
At 11 o 'clock on Sunday when he goes to church, ten minutes after he leaves,
the garage goes up, nobody's hurt, he knows where we stand.
And what happens if the bomb goes off early?
Are you willing to explain to the council how you killed his wife and kids
him? We explode the bomb by radio signal.
We plant our man across the street.
When Lanner's out safe, he hits the button. The bomb explodes, no risk.
have to do it fast.
Next Sunday, if we can set it up.
What about four minutes from now?
Got all the instincts, but none of the speed, kid.
You better hang up your gloves. You'll never make it in the fight game.
Watch the store.

Tonight's episode, The Cobra List.
In Miami, the bodyguard of La Cosa Nostra leader Frank Lanner had been
critically injured.
For a first -hand report on the brewing inter -gang war, FBI Assistant Director
Arthur Ward immediately summoned Miami agent in charge Owen Clark to Bureau
headquarters in Washington.
Any lab reports come back on the bomb fragments we found at the Lanner garage?
It was TNT, electronically triggered.
What's the situation in Miami now?
Well, Lanner's added a new bodyguard, but other than that, it's business as
usual. We talked to Lanner about the explosion, and he claimed it was an
accident.
He was storing the explosives in his garage to use on a stump.
Well, he says he was storing it for a friend who wanted to remove his stump.
By the way, we picked up some information that Lana was trying to move
Cobras numbers operation.
You've been briefed on the latest developments in the Cobra case, haven't
Lewis?
Well, not all of them. I know the Cobras live in Miami, of course.
Well, as you may remember, Icky...
Ignatius Cobra was a bootlegger in the 20s. He was shot in April of 47, almost
died. He's paralyzed from the waist down. He's confined to a wheelchair.
Collect stamps.
He started this numbers operation in the mid -60s.
Now, the best guess we can make is that there are 150 to 200 numbers joints
working in Florida and Georgia.
Icky Cobra retired about a month ago, and he turned the operation over to two
his sons.
We started our investigation on the presumption that a business spread out
far couldn't be run out of a hat.
Now, we haven't been able to get a hold of the books or the records, but there
is a list of the joints and numbers drops.
We know there's only one copy.
It was in Inky's possession until he retired, but we don't know where it is
That's what we're after, a list.
Well, if anything can open a crack in the Cobra operation, this incident can.
Father's retired.
Yes, but that doesn't mean he's out of the picture. He moved to Puerto Rico
about a month ago. We've had him under constant surveillance ever since.
Stupid. You're stupid.
Come on, Papa. Don't Papa me.
Look, what else could we do? He needed told, so we told him. You blew up a
garage. You told him nothing but that you know how to wreck a piece of real
estate. Yeah, but he knows we can hit him now anytime we want to.
He knows nothing. Is this what I left him?
An operation I spent 20 years building up and figuring out.
Pick up the stamps, dummy.
Come on, Pop.
You don't teach lessons.
The family teaches lessons.
Leave the lessons to them. No exceptions.
You got a little beef with Lana?
You tell it to the family.
They talk to them and they straighten them out.
Or maybe they straighten you out.
Some of the brothers take the big beefs to the family.
Take it to the family or not.
In a big beef, you don't sing songs or do dances.
You hit your man and you bury him.
You take him to the family or you put him away.
There's nothing in between.
You understand that?
Yeah, I understand.
Then why didn't you understand it yesterday?
I'm sorry.
James Coburn?
Yeah.
How's your wife and the kiddies?
Oh, they're fine. Everybody's fine, Pop.
How's Jamie's kiddies and Lizanne?
They're fine, too. They're terrific.
You know, I've only been living here in Puerto Rico three weeks, and I'm eating
my heart out already.
I miss them little monkeys.
Little monkeys.
Answer it.
Cobra residence, this is Terry.
What?
It's Jamie's wife.
When?
Jamie's been hit. He's in the hospital. Give me the phone.
Hello, it's Anne. This is Papa.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Terry told me.
What shape is Jamie in?
Well, you call Matthew in Pittsburgh and you tell him to get down here and take
care of his brother.
You said I said, you hear?
Don't worry yourself.
I'll call you back in about an hour.
Punk Lana hit my son.
He tried to kill my baby.
That punk.
Terry, get us on the next plane to Miami.
Where?
What name is that?
All right. Let me know the minute you've got anything definite.
Well, it started.
That was Miami.
James Coburn's been shot.
He's in St. Thomas Hospital on the critical list.
What about his brothers?
Terry's in San Juan with his father.
Matthew's a doctor in Pittsburgh.
We've got the gun. I asked Clark to have it flown in here as soon as possible so
the identification division can get started on it.
The hitman dropped the gun on flight.
I told Clark you'd be on the 330 flight to Miami.
I'll get the car.
His ladder's still there.
He's still there, and he's in trouble.
Emmett Stone flew in from New York ten minutes ago.
Rash action is what separates winners from losers, right?
It wasn't rash, Mr. Stone. Oh, that depends on your perspective.
It's a question of where one is standing, if I make myself clear.
The Cobras made a move on me, on my wife, on my family. You know that's not
as well as I do. Don't try to deceive me, Frank. It's bad form and
unintelligent. The Cobras intended to warn you.
And my friend will be crippled for the rest of his life.
That's an excuse for your counteraction, but not a reason for it. If you had a
difference with the Cobras, why didn't you bring it to the family?
All right.
Five cards, straight up.
I want the numbers, Operation.
Yes, and Inky's seat with the commission.
And his seat.
We all understand ambition, Frank, but some things are more important
than a personal goal. You must look at the entire picture. A war in any family
is potentially more than a disruptive influence.
Pressures could develop.
Shootings could cause light to shine on things better left in the dark. There
will be no further.
independent actions on your part, Frank.
Do I make myself clear?
I don't intend to.
He hit first.
All I did was counter.
Oh, a little more than counter.
There is a difference between a friend and a son. A major difference.
And even more. Your friend was not a member of the family. The Cobas are.
I can't argue that.
Well... The entire matter is now in the hands of the family.
The Cobra operation is far too important to allow it to be damaged.
I still want it.
You may want it too much.
That's what separates ambition from greed.
Degree.
And there is no room in the family for a greedy man, Frank.
Excuse me, are you Mr. Cobra?
Yes.
I'm Inspector Erskine with the FBI.
I don't know who shot him.
He didn't tell me anything.
I... I don't know anything about his business activities.
Doctor, my name's Erskine, FBI.
My brother died without regaining consciousness.
He made no statement.
He wrote nothing down.
He was unable to speak since he was shot.
As a result, he communicated with no one.
I don't want to bother you at a time like this, but I would like to talk to
at your convenience.
If you'd be so good as to call me at this number.
Now is as good a time as any.
I won't have any more to say to you tomorrow than I do right now.
I suppose you want me to tell you what I know about my brother's criminal
activities.
The truth is that I don't know any more about his work and his field than he
knows about mine in medicine.
I mean you about mine.
Past tense now, isn't it?
Are you aware that...
His killing was part of a gang war that your own life may be in jeopardy?
I am aware that no man is immune to death, and that anyone can be killed if
killer applies himself.
I'm afraid you're wasting your very valuable time, Inspector.
My name is Cobra.
I am my father's son.
I don't share his taste, interest, instincts, or occupation.
But I am his son.
If I did have any information in my possession, it would have to remain
Now, if you'll excuse me.
The Bureau just called.
I didn't match the prints on the gun that shot Cobra with the arrest record
hood named Mark Dennis.
New York police wanted for murder. They asked us to pick him up.
They also gave us a tip on a Miami address that may pay off. Clark's
out now.
Subject's registered here. He took a room under the name of Mark Thomas, an
alias. His room's on the second floor and back.
Number 228.
Let's pick him up.
Mark Dennis, FBI.
Call an ambulance.
I know, and I want to be notified as soon as he can talk.
Right.
What about surveillance units?
Everyone's covered.
Matthew Cobra, James Cobra's widow, and other teams at Terry Cobra's house.
They've been with Inky and Terry ever since they landed at the airport here in
Miami.
He's got driver's licenses, credit cards using five different names.
There are four addresses here. Two in Miami, one in St. Petersburg.
One in Tampa.
See what you can find out.
Hey, you!
What are you doing here with your brother and I? hospital dying.
Jamie's dead.
You let Jamie die on you?
Come on, Matt did all he could for him. You know that.
I know that no doctor's worth a nickel whether he's my son or somebody else's.
Butchers and bricklayers in a white suit.
What'd you do, open him up and fish around a little to see if there was
something inside of him? Come on, Pop.
No, no, no, that's all right.
If the big man wants to rip me, he'll rip me.
No matter what anyone says or does.
Nobody makes any sense to Inky Cobra but Inky Cobra.
He knows all there is to know.
Why, I know this, Mr.
Joe College Doctor.
I know I had two sons to walk by my side and you.
I don't know how I had anyone like you.
Is this war of yours about over?
Yes, you do know, and it's not over.
I got a dead son to put in the ground, and you got a dead brother.
How can it be over?
I don't like any long wakes.
You get in touch with the undertaker and tell him we're having a funeral
tomorrow morning.
Bronze casket, 50 dozen roses, and a choir and a church.
Terry, you call Emmett Stone and tell him when the funeral is.
He'll pass the word.
What hotel for the breakfast after?
No hotel.
What's the name of that restaurant that Jamie was so crazy about? You know, the
one by the yacht harbor.
Oh, the Captain's Inn.
That one.
Oh, Matt.
You call the undertaker from the den. I want to... I want to talk to Terry in
private.
I almost forgot.
Who had the list?
What list?
The list of our outlets.
With the drops of the business, that list.
That's right where you put it, Pop.
All right.
Now, here we are having a war, and we almost forgot for what.
As long as we got the list, we got no real problem from Lanner or the law.
The family will look out for the Cobas.
Now, uh, call Emmett Stone.
So far, we've got Emmett Stone, Hugh Mallon, Jeff Washburn, Chris DeBeer, and
their bodyguards in for the funeral.
Set up a surveillance plan for tomorrow.
Any meeting between Stone and Cobra will probably take place after the funeral.
The agent at the hospital with Dennis just called.
Dennis died without regaining consciousness.
What about the addresses?
Well, the first one is where he shot Jamie Cobra.
Miami's a cigar store.
St. Petersburg address, a magazine stand, and one in Tampa is a dry
It'd have to be places where Jamie Coburn could be found.
Numbers outlets we haven't uncovered.
Add them to the file as possible.
No, let's use them now before things quiet down completely.
As a matter of fact, that's probably what Stone is here to do.
So what would happen if we raided a half dozen of their best cupboard outlets?
I think he'd wonder how we found out about them.
And suppose we let the word out that we picked up the locations on a tip?
Yeah, it could force a meeting in the council if they thought Lanner was
it.
Get Mr. Ward to the bureau, will you, Owen?
And in a late -breaking story from our in -studio news wires, simultaneous
were staged tonight by FBI agents throughout Florida.
The six raids were part of a crackdown on what is reportedly a widespread La
Cosa Nostra numbers operation.
FBI spokesmen were mum about details of the investigation, but said those under
arrest... Harry!
Harry,
get in here!
What's the matter? You all right?
You hear the news just now?
What news? What news? Raids!
Half a dozen of our spots were busted by the FBI tonight.
Six. Six of our safest.
What does that say to you?
Lana passed the word about the ones he knew.
Yeah, Lana.
Lana.
That ought to shut off his water like we could never have hoped for.
If the family was going to listen to him at all, that shut him off but in
spades.
You want to order a hit, pup?
No. No contract yet, Terry.
After the funeral.
When we get Emmett Stone's okay.
Why jump the gun?
If we can hit him with the family's blessings.
You know, the way things look,
if I asked, they'd bring him here and let me kill him myself.
This is a day full of sadness for all of us, Inky.
Lizanne.
All my sympathy, Matt.
Well, that's very kind of you, Uncle Emmett.
You look good.
Being a doctor agrees with you.
It's a happy life you have, right?
Not this morning.
No.
This morning the clouds should... Cover the sun for everybody. This is a great
sadness.
But bright day or dark, living have to live.
Life spills out of our hands too fast to wait for anything.
You go on. I want to talk to Terry and your papa for a minute.
I guess Stone is going to have his talk with Inky now.
I remember the day the dead boy was born.
I thought about it the whole time we were standing at the cemetery.
This thing should not have happened. The whole mess.
But it did.
You hear?
Six of my spots were busted by the FBI.
How did the FBI dig them up, Inky?
Lana.
You don't need me to tell you it was Lana.
You had my son hit.
Had my business hit.
He's trying to grab.
How do you know it was Lana?
Who else could it be? It's him.
Well, it could be you or Terry, Inky.
Chop off six of my own outlets.
Well, how could you make sure that the council would allow you to hit Lana?
You know the brothers don't want the old days, shootings, bombings, nobody's
safe. I sat on the council for 20 years.
That punk had my son killed.
I got the right to... No.
No right.
You have a reason to. The council has to give you the right.
Are you telling me the council says I can't get Leonard for what he did to my
Jamie? The council says that you wait until we find out who said what to the
that takes it out of your hands. Oh, that opens up the other thing.
You, Inky.
You forget you're retired?
What does that mean?
It means that you're the wrong man to speak for the Cobra operation.
You turned it over to Terrence, the other boy, rest his soul.
Terry has left, he speaks.
Terry, not you.
That's garbage.
No, that's life.
The old give way to the young.
You go back to Puerto Rico and leave this to Terry and the family.
I'm not going back until this is cleaned up. You are going back this afternoon.
Three tickets, one way.
If you think I'm going to... The family cannot be sure that Lana won't make a
move against you. So we have assigned two of our best men to look after you.
There's three tickets, you and them, this afternoon.
You're putting me in a box?
To keep you safe, Inky.
Well, let me know if there's any change.
Stone has had Lana's bodyguards replaced.
He just did the same to Inky Colbert.
Any familiar face there?
Well, one of Inky's new bodyguards, Sammy Pick, been Pavni's boy.
Our information is that Pavni brought Lana into the family.
Looks as if they mean business now, doesn't it?
One more thing.
Inky's been booked on the two o 'clock plane back to Puerto Rico.
Stone made the reservation.
Is Terry scheduled to go with him?
No.
Well, I think this is the time for another talk with Dr.
Cobra. Where is he now?
Well, Matt took Jamie Cobra's widow to the hospital.
She passed out in the restaurant after the breakfast.
Well, the key man right now is Stone.
If he leaves Miami, I want an agent right behind him.
You two have to be standing over me all day and all night.
Sammy, get out of here and guard me from the outside.
Okay, Mr. Coburn.
What do you figure Stone is trying?
He's not trying. He's doing it.
The counselor's going to meet and decide who tipped the FBI.
Then they're going to decide if Flanner got out of line enough to buy himself a
hole in the ground.
Then they're going to decide who gets the numbers operation.
Without the list, they can't do a thing.
Get it.
You're going to take it back with you?
The list blows over.
In the meantime, our spots can hold our cut.
Nobody will be holding much.
This shouldn't take more than a couple of weeks to blow over.
Get the list.
Why can't you leave us alone?
My husband is dead now.
Why can't you stop?
It was that easy.
I'm sorry she's upset.
I understand.
Doctor, I came here to ask you to help us.
I thought I made my position clear to you.
You did, but the situation has changed since then.
Has it?
I don't see that it has.
Are you aware that your father's bodyguards have been replaced by La Cosa
Nostra?
No, no, I wasn't.
But I don't see what difference it makes.
Matt, will you take me back to the hotel?
Of course.
Excuse us.
They're returning him to Puerto Rico this afternoon.
I'm sure you understand the implications.
Assuming all you say is true, Mr. Erskine, just what do you suggest I do
it? I want a chance to talk to your father.
I want you to help me get past the bodyguards.
Matt.
I'm sorry.
Don't tell me I got trouble.
I know when I got trouble, and I know how to handle it.
So why don't you go back to Pittsburgh and tie a bandage on somebody or
something? You finished?
I don't need advice from you, so save it for the suckers that come to you with
headaches or sore feet.
Look, I know you.
By now you know who killed Jamie, and you're going to try to kill him. Don't
talk to me about killing, butcher.
You got a license for it. That's the only difference between you and anybody
else.
They're sending you back to Puerto Rico against your will.
And before you go, you're going to try to get to the man that killed Jamie.
Now, if you do that, the council... What do you know about a council? What
council? I'm your son. I grew up in your house. Do you think I'm blind or
stupid?
But I didn't know who all those uncles were you brought home.
I knew then and I know now.
You make one move, the council didn't approve, and the next funeral I go to
be yours.
All I'm asking is that you do what they tell you.
What I do is my business.
How and when I do it is my business. You hear that?
I don't want you dead.
And stay away from me if I get sick.
It's time for you to get started for the airport. You ready?
Yeah.
You got everything straight, right, Terry?
It's as good as done, Papa.
No way.
You find a girl to get married yet, Matthew?
Not yet.
I'll find a girl and get married and have babies.
I already got two stamp collections started. You're kids and you're not even
married yet.
I don't want to get stuck with any two stamp collections.
Aren't you going to the airport with him?
I'll be out there to say goodbye, but I've got something to see to first.
Oh, it's business.
Take care of yourself, Mary.
MM -45.
They brought a car around about two minutes ago.
Inky left with the bodyguards. Then Terry drove off in his own car.
Is he alone?
Alone.
Stay with him. I'll keep this line open.
Hello, we just went into a payphone booth.
Location? On Fuller between 7th and 8th.
Right.
Trace a call in progress from a public booth on Fuller between 7th and 8th.
Hickory Hotel.
One moment, please. Come on, come on, lady.
An informant reported that a hitman from Milwaukee checked into the Picardy this
morning. A man by the name of Gil Casey.
Hello.
Who've I got?
Gil Casey.
Now, Gil.
You got it pretty close, man.
What section are they sitting in?
Hold on a minute.
Lana's just been shot.
Our agents have picked up Gil Casey. They found what they think is the murder
weapon along with a return ticket to Milwaukee.
Oh, thanks very much. I'll talk to you later.
Terry Coburn's boarded the plane with his father.
Well, that explains why.
Yes?
Matthew Coburn's outside.
Ask him to wait a minute.
Tell him to wait, please.
Get in touch with Irving Grindler, will you, Owen? Tell him I'll be by in an
hour or so.
Okay.
The family wouldn't let Inky talk to us even if he wanted to.
I'll need a cover to get by the bodyguards and Grindler can help us
That's taking quite a risk, isn't it?
If Inky knows Grindler well enough to trust him, how can you trust Grindler?
He doesn't know him.
Except, I'm sure, by reputation.
Will you come in, please, Doctor?
You know Inspector Erskine? Mr. Erskine? Clover.
Please sit down.
Thank you.
I know how difficult it must have been for you to come here.
Please don't misunderstand, Mr. Erskine.
I won't help you gather evidence against my father or my brother.
I'm not asking you to.
But there is something you want me to do. You made that very clear.
Dr. Clover.
We've spent years trying to break up your father's operation.
Now, we'll do it sooner or later.
But it would be a lot easier on everyone if he'd cooperate with us.
My father cooperating with the FBI.
It'll never happen.
There's one set of circumstances in which it might.
Not even on his deathbed.
I'm asking you to help me give him the option.
Mr. Erskine, my father is a man who has spent his entire adult life doing
exactly what he wants in his own way.
His own way.
No options.
But not under a death sentence from La Cosa Nostra. And he will be, just as
as the word about Lanner gets out.
Lanner? He's been killed.
They killed Lanner?
The family has no choice now, you know that.
In fact, the executioners are with him already. He's cut off.
But with your help, I think I can get to him.
Since when does the FBI protect a man like Inky Coburn? It isn't a question of
protection. Look, we want to tell him what's happening and let him draw his
conclusions.
He'll go to prison if he cooperates with us, but he'll be alive.
No, he'd never cooperate.
Dr. Coburn, I've spent four years studying your father.
He's a great many things, but he's not a fool.
Now, in the next few hours, the moment will come when he'll want that option,
and I want to be there when that happens.
There's not much time, Doctor.
All right.
Finally, it's over.
over ten million stamp collectors, Mr. Ruskin.
Archer would have been much simpler if you'd been one of them.
However, if you're going to pass with an expert working for me, you'll need
certain equipment.
The catalog, of course, and a black light used to detect alterations in a
which would increase its value.
What kind of alterations?
Well, for instance, on the classics, they sometimes add paper to give the
a wider margin.
Yes, that's right. That's very good.
Go ahead. What else?
My father taught me quite a bit about it when I was a boy.
They remove cancellations, put new gum on the back.
Always say gum, by the way, not glue.
Uh -huh.
Now, Mr. Grindler, what constitutes a classic stamp?
Well, the first stamp ever printed was the Penny Black of Great Britain, 1840.
The first U .S. stamp printed was in 1847.
Classics date between then and 1895.
That's when perforated adhesive started in 95.
This is a perforation gauge.
Now, perforations vary from issue to issue with some stamps.
It's all in the catalog.
Oh, by the way, no expert can keep it all in his head.
We all use the catalog all the time.
Well, now, Mr. Grindler, to attract this particular collector, I'm going to need
a very unusual stamp.
What can you suggest?
Large collection?
Extremely. Limited to which areas?
None, really. It's general.
Really?
That's the toughest possible collection.
The King of England had one.
Well, suppose we offer him the Hawaii missionary.
He has it.
Confederate States of America, issue 1861.
He has that, too. Complete.
It's got to be a little more difficult than I thought.
What about the one -cent British Guiana?
It's number 13 in the catalog.
It's the only one known to exist.
Yes, but if it's that rare, won't it seem hard by having it?
It might.
But you could say you were a representative of the owner.
Besides, with a collector like this, he'd see the devil himself if he thought
there were a chance in the world of getting this stamp.
Last quote on it was 300 ,000.
There's no value quotation now.
You could probably get a million or more for it if you had it.
What do you think?
Well, I can call him.
If I set it up right, I think he'll go for it.
All right, then that's what we'll do.
Thanks very much, Mr. Grindle.
Oh, don't forget your catalog, Mr. Eskender.
Yeah? Mr. Coburn?
Who wants to see him?
My name's Boardman. I represent Irving, Grindler & Company. I call from the
airport. Go ahead, Mr. Boardman.
Mr. Coburn, I don't think you... Shut up. Tell me my boy vows for him.
Boardman?
No, I said to myself, why go halfway?
If the King of England can do it, so can Inky Cobra.
Why go halfway, you know what I mean?
You have some remarkable stamps here, Mr. Cobra. I'm impressed.
I was also impressed when you mentioned the British Guiana.
Oh, is that a way to get in here?
Cobra resident.
Yeah, this is Sam.
Who is it?
Yeah, hang on a minute.
It's for me, Mr. Cobra, private.
I'll take it in here out of your way.
What are you doing? Who is it?
Terry.
Well, I wish we had more time, but I think we've just run out. What is that
supposed to mean?
Stone called for a meeting as soon as he heard Frank Lana was dead.
Our latest information is that at least four members of the High Commission were
voting to have you killed.
What do you know about Frank Lanner?
Who are you?
FBI.
You were right about the stamp. There is none.
I came here to give you a chance to bail out.
Matt said... Matt was trying to help you.
Papa. Shut your mouth.
Bail out how?
By nailing them before they get you. By telling a grand jury about your
organization. Man, what kind of a fool do you take me for?
You moved when the family told you to stand still. You know what that means.
It makes no difference to the family or the government.
The government can't nail me if they haven't got the list.
The family can't move if they don't put the question to me.
I got the treatment of a council member coming to me.
Don't you remember what Uncle Emmett said?
You're retired. You're out.
They probably figure him for the list. That makes you expendable.
Let's go with him.
Give the G -Man the list?
It's something to think about.
Jail is better than a casket.
Who told you?
You've never been inside either one.
You don't walk into a room in my house without knocking, you hear?
Sorry about this, Mr. Boardman. Too bad you dropped by.
Mr. Coburn, there was a meeting and a vote.
You and your boy... Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Not me.
I didn't want to hit Leonard until the council said to him. Now, not me.
You lousy yellow punk.
I'm your father.
Blood. You think I'm me?
You try to save your own skin and feed me to them?
What about the business?
I mean, without the list, there's no business.
I know where the list is. You'll never find it.
Now, you go in there and you call them. Go on. They'll tell you.
I want to shout my son.
I want to thank you.
He deserved it.
My offer still goes, Cobra.
Why should I cop out now?
I got elbow room.
I'm out of the box.
There it goes.
No more box.
You think there aren't any more where those two came from?
You're still in the hook.
Only now you can't buy anyone to help you.
You're alone, Cobra.
And you know it.
But you owe me one favor, right?
I cooperated. It depends what it is.
If that dies, bury it face down.
Fine.
Fine. Thank you very much.
Well, that's the last of them. 200 outlets.
Congratulations, Lewis.
Thanks. You were lucky.
Well, what are you going to do with your free evenings now that this case is
wrapped up?
You know, Inky Cobra asked me the same thing.
He suggested I take up the tab collecting.
As a matter of fact, he offered me one to start off with.
A 1918 airmail with an inverted center valued at $16 ,000.
It's one trouble.
It's a fake.
Terrence Cobra survived his wounds and was convicted of interstate gambling
activities and with Gilbert Casey was found guilty of the murder of Frank
Lanner.
Ignatius Coburn died of natural causes before he could be brought to trial.
Sam Pick and his confederate were convicted in local court of assault with
deadly weapon.
Thank you.
