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.
