[COUGHS] I'm sick! Yeah, you're

gonna be okay.

[CHOKES] What about Willie and Terry?

DANKO: Did you get the other two guys?

They got a partial description of the vehicle,

they're still looking.

What about this security guard here?

They're not gonna be any help to us.

Not unless they gagged and died.

Get me to a doc. Come on.

I'll run you around front.

Give him his rights.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR SHUTS]

Hey, Teach.

Tommy. Yeah.

Teddy... [DOOR SHUTS]

Where is Al? Huh?

I said, where is Al? Yeah, well the

cops, they came.

We waited as long as we could, Tommy.

You mean, you left him there?

There wasn't nothing we could do.

Now the cops would have got us too

if we would have hung around...

You left Al

for the Cops! [EXHALES]

It was all It was all laid out

so simple.

It was like tearing open a paper bag.

[EXHALES] You screwed it up!

Stupid! stupid! stupid!

Left Al.

There was nothing we could have done.

[STAMMERS] You gotta believe us, Teacher.

You don't know what you did.

[SCREAMS] You don't know what being sent back to prison will

do to a boy like Al!

Well, we're sorry, Teach.

[EXHALES]

Just don't know.

[COUGHING]

I'm sorry. [GASPING]

I'm still a little dizzy.

Put your head down, take a couple of deep breaths,

you'll be okay.

[BREATHING DEEPLY]

[CLEARS THROAT]

[EXHALES]

You know, somehow, I met those two guys yesterday. [GASPING]

[LAUGHS] I don't even know

their last names.

They said we were gonna have...

...some fun.

I didn't know what they meant to do.

Looks like they left you with the dirty

end of the stick.

There's nothing so unique about that.

Not for me.

I've been in trouble before.

But it's only small stuff. It's never nothing like this.

[EXHALES]

What's gonna happen to me?

Ah, it's gonna depend on you.

Oh, by the way,

I didn't get a chance to thank you.

Pulling me out of there the way you did.

You just did. come on, let's go.

[CLEARS THROAT] Can I have some water?

Yeah. [COUGHS]

MAN: Cops, you put them in uniform they

think they're gods.

GUARD: All right, if you empty your pockets and put your

valuables on the counter.

[COUGHS]

GUARD: All right now, sign this receipt

Okay.

I'll sign nothing without my lawyer.

Now, look it's just a receipt for your belongings.

Take it...

Get your hands off of me! Don't touch me!

leave me alone!

Turner, you get out an APB fast, I'm gonna

take a look around.

Legendary figure, five letters.

What, what was that?

Legendary figure, five letters.

Umm.

Venus.

It starts with an "R"

Right.

[DANKO EXHALES]

Who taught you guys how to make coffee?

Go on, say it. I blew it.

You blew it.

It's true.

[SHUSHES]

Look we didn't do that much better so, uh,

just learn from your mistakes, Michael.

Yeah well, at least you guys lost him in pursuit.

I had mine at the station.

[KNOCK ON DOOR] [LAUGHS]

Come on in.

Hi! BOTH: Hi!

Uh, did you know my husband walks in his sleep?

Funny.

Why'd you bring all that stuff over here for?

Well, if you stayed in bed two more minutes I'd have been

back with a new can of coffee.

Hey, now what's the matter with you guys anyway?

Look like somebody just swiped your new

skateboard or something.

Just forget it. okay?

Just forget it?

Okay, I'll tell you what I'll make you a trade.

Um, I'll just forget everything that happened at

the hospital yesterday.

I'll forget all about the little girl who nobody wanted

and she didn't quite make it.

[GASPS] And I'll forget about that nice little man

whose wife's terminal.

She doesn't know it.

He's gonna have to tell her.

I'll forget...

No, that's enough, that's enough.

I'll trade you those two for two of yours. Any time.

[EXHALES]

No doubt about it, she has a way about her, she do.

Mmm-hmm, she sure does.

She got an A in bedside manner, you know.

What are we having? Breakfast? Lunch? Brunch?

What is this? DANKO: What have you got?

What have you got? lets have it all.

Uh, a little bit of everything.

[CREAKING]

Keep that line clean, Eddie.

[METAL CREAKING FASTER]

[TAPPING]

[HAMMERING]

[HAMMERING HARDER]

Stupid, stupid boy! Idiot boy! [BELL CLANGING]

Stupid, stupid boy!

You know. I wasted my time with the two of you.

Al and me should've picked up a couple of kids

with at least some brains!

You know, with all the young kids around just looking to

learn what I can teach them.

I get stuck with a couple of meat-heads like you!

Oh, now look we didn't do too bad, Teach.

I mean, me and my brother, we're right here.

And the cops, they got your precious Al.

Oh, is that so?

[GASPS] That's so.

How would you know?

You're so yellow you didn't stick around

long enough to find out!

[EXHALES]

You don't come near Al,

either one of you.

You couldn't polish his shoes.

Yeah, well, who'd want to?

All right, so what are we gonna do?

Sit around and play more school?

That's right.

Look, we got the guns. Just like you asked.

That's right.

So let's go out and do like we planned.

That's wrong.

We do nothing until we hear what happened to Al,

you hear me!

Nothing.

Oh, come on, Teach!

What are you so afraid about?

Look, if you and Al is prison family like you say, he ain't

gonna tell on you.

He ain't going to sick the pigs on you.

Wait a second.

Wait a minute, that's it, isn't it?

Yeah, you're afraid that Al is gonna spill his guts all over

the floor to the cops.

Ain't that right?

What do you know about anything?

What do you know about Al or me?

What do know about what it's like to share the same cell

with the man for over a year!

You learn a man in that kind of living!

You know his worst!

You build something...

...together.

[EXHALES]

[SOFTLY] Friendship.

We do like I say.

Nobody moves, nobody goes into action

until we find out what happened to Al.

You'll learn patience from me if you don't

learn anything else.

What if I don't wanna learn that from you,

we just wanna learn how to make some money

and then...

We're not gonna do that just sitting here.

Patience.

I got impatient once.

Just once. In 40 years.

Look at these...

Strong, steady.

A box man's hands.

But I got impatient once.

I lit a fuse to a safe,

touched it off with my blowtorch and ran for cover.

Well, it didn't blow. [LAUGHS]

Didn't go.

Didn't go, didn't blow, didn't go, didn't...

I got impatient.

I crawled back to check. [GULPS]

That's when it went.

Cost me this and ten years of my life.

[LAUGHS] I've had enough of the world blow up in my face.

We do nothing until... [THUD]

[TAPPING]

[WHISPERS] It's the cops!

See, I told you... Quiet.

I'll see who it is.

[COUGHING]

Hey, what's the deal? Ain't there anything

to eat in this place?

[LAUGHS]

Well, all right. How was it?

[LAUGHS]

[LAUGHS]

[GROANS]

Where have you been?

Oh! Them cops had me. [LAUGHS]

Did they book you?

Oh, they didn't even get my name.

Good. [LAUGHS]

No way they can trace me in the joint, either

Ah, good.

Boys, you should've seen the way

I slipped out of the police head quarters

last night. [LAUGHS]

Last night?

Then where have you been till now?

I went visiting.

Figured I owed myself a little favor.

So I went to see this little woman I know over

on the other side of town.

Ah. I told you, Al,

no women.

That is not until we finish getting everything out of

this town that we can.

Women just get in the way.

All right.

Boys.

Eddie, Tommy, we roll together again.

Now we've got guns.

TEACHER: We're gonna need a new car.

TOMMY: Right.

We're gonna need cold plates...

And we're gonna need some...

[CLAPS]

...working capital.

[LAUGHS]

Lieutenant, I know it's my fault, but...

Officer Danko...

Every man in this precinct has made at least one mistake in

his professional career.

We make allowances, do you understand that?

DANKO: Yeah.

Okay.

All right, come on. Spell it out for me.

Burglary, three suspects,

good description, one, less than good on the other two.

Gillis?

Ah, we know the car they used was stolen.

Danko? your turn.

I went through all the mug shots,

we haven't got them.

He told me he had been in trouble but

he's got no record.

Or maybe he's got one in another state.

Except for the silent alarm they knew

what they were doing.

There is no way to trace them.

A certain amount of expertise in planning.

Does this all present certain picture to you?

Sir.

Kids, like a river running out to the ocean.

They flow into the big city from every small town

in the country.

What are they looking for?

Big roller coaster. Saturday night

that won't quit.

Some of them get roped into crime,

if they're lucky they get caught fast

and they learn.

If not it's because someone is showing them the ropes.

Someone who feeds on their loneliness and their need for

excitement. Whatever it is.

All right. Let's find

these three, let's find them fast.

There is nobody that says

that we can retire out of what we got out

of that liquor store,

but it's a start.

Hey, man, that was a nothing

thing to hold up.

It went just like you said, Teach,

no sweat.

And that drawer that the guy had in

the cash register.

You should have seen his face when

Al told him to open it up.

Yeah, that guy's eyes were just poppin'

out of his head.

Hey, man, he didn't think nobody knew nothing

about that drawer.

It worked well. What do you say we

split it up and let's have a party.

I say we raid it.

Not yet.

AL: Oh, hey. What's the problem?

Come on, let's get some girls over here and

a little booze.

Have a good time. I said not now.

Okay.

You're the Teach.

Al.

It's all gonna be like I promised you

in the joint.

School days, boys.

I want you to take a good look.

What is it?

A mobile bank.

Now, if you all do exactly as I say.

it'll be like turning over in your sleep.

Al.

You will be here on the roof. It's an apartment building

right over the gate where the mobile bank comes in

to cash the workers' checks.

Take one of those riffles we picked up in the warehouse.

We can cover the whole area with it.

Good.

Hey, how much you figure the take will be?

Maybe 20 or 30 grand down.

Tommy, pick up a car.

Get it right this time, Tommy.

Make sure it's a four-door.

And use these, right out of the ice box.

You're really something else,

aren't you?

Where did you get them?

Who pays attention to a blind man and a junkyard.

Who pays attention to a blind man anywhere.

Period.

POLICEMAN: [ON RADIO] All units add to hot sheet.

1972 blue Ford sedan.

Stolen from parking lot at Ninth and Brand.

Suspects are two men. 18 to 20 years old.

Light hair, six feet tall.

One man wearing jeans and jean jacket.

Other man wearing tan trousers and shirt.

Oh, looks like we got our first customer.

The rest will be pouring out of the plant

any minute now.

Hey. Hi. You guys had me

following you for three blocks.

It's after 3:00, the banks are closed down.

Hey, can you cash a check for me?

Sorry, but you shouldn't be blocking the van.

I was just waiting for my brother,

he's cashing a check.

Hey, come on. What do you mean you can't

cash this check for me?

Hey, look I got my drivers license.

[GUNSHOT]

[GUNSHOT]

[GUNSHOT]

Officer needs help. Shots have been fired

at Fox Hill and Tenth.

Hampton Industries, front gate.

Looks like we got company. Come on, come on, come on.

Get back, get back.

[GUNSHOT]

Now we gotta make a run for it.

All right, come on.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[SIRENS WAILING]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

There's a sniper on the roof!

[GUNSHOT]

[SIRENS WAILING]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Police officer.

What is it? What do you want?

Police officer.

We are checking all the apartments,

looking for a gunman.

Oh, yeah I just heard all the shooting outside.

Do you know how he looks like?

Ah, not sure. Just, uh,

stay in your apartment, keep the door locked

and you will be okay.

Well, suppose he comes in here.

We're going over the whole building.

Don't worry. We'll get him. Thanks.

[EXHALES LOUDLY]

Scared?

You heard him.

They are looking for me.

Oh.

Well, they're not looking for me.

And they're not looking for me and my boyfriend.

You're pretty cool.

What's your name?

You can call me Tippy.

Well, all right, Tippy.

Positive identification.

Yeah. No doubt about it, Lieutenant.

The same one I gave chase to.

All right, Danko, stand by.

Ah, Lieutenant Ryker, Mrs. Coleman.

What is it?

How do you do? Mrs. Coleman. Thank you.

I've just located the suspects for you.

Let's roll.

I think you better hear what Mrs. Coleman has to say,

Lieutenant.

She found this on the floor in her apartment.

I had to go to the store. I just got back

just a little while ago

and my granddaughter was gone.

He must be hiding in the apartment.

He might even have been there when I spoke to her.

When I spoke to her, your granddaughter

didn't seem very upset

or even worried. She acted almost playful.

Now, is there any possibility that she knew this man or

went with him willingly?

No, no. My Tippy is a good girl.

She wouldn't know a man like that.

He took her. I know it.

He made her go with him.

Oh, please, please find her.

She's only 17. She's just a baby.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Tommy.

Hey, hey, look at what I found.

Hey, all right.

Yeah, she followed me home. There was nothing I could do

about it. Cute, isn't she?

Her name's Tippy.

This here is Ed over here. Hi, Ed.

That's his brother Tommy.

That's the Teacher. Hi.

Hello.

Well, say, I saw where you guys dumped the car.

Three blocks from here.

What's the deal? The cops have already

found it.

What about you? Where is your riffle?

I left it behind.

Stupid!

Exactly what was I supposed to do?

Walk around with an aught six under my arm?

The cops were crawling all over that place.

So what? We lost a rifle. But we still got me.

Hey, remember you promised to show me those guns and

everything, huh?

The girl is 17, she's about 105 pounds.

Five foot three, blonde hair and blue eyes.

I want an APB out on her and the guy.

Now we found his riffle but that does not mean

he is unarmed.

So I want you to make it an "Approach With Caution."

That's it.

All right. Now you mean to tell me that nobody

in the apartment house saw the suspect?

Nobody, sir.

We checked out every apartment

in the building.

That's just great.

A man sticks up a mobile bank,

shoots the guard

has a gun fight with Danko,

kidnaps a girl and nobody sees him.

What are we suppose to do, Lieutenant?

Just keep cruising the area till we find him?

Yes, I'd say so. Unless you have

any better ideas.

No, sir.

What do you think our chances are,

Lieutenant?

I'm not worried about our chances.

I'm worried about the girl.

She's been kidnapped by a man who has shown

a willingness to kill.

For all we know she's dead now.

But if she isn't you can book on the fact that

she is scared to death.

Come on, admit it.

You did it 'cause it was me, didn't ya?

You liked what you saw.

Mmm, maybe.

Or maybe it was just because this guy

walked into my door

and this guy happened to have a gun in his hand.

Yeah?

And he had just had a shootout with the cops.

That was really exciting.

But it wasn't just any guy, it was me.

I guess I'm really lucky, huh.

I guess so.

Al.

What?

Come over here.

Okay.

Without the dumb broad.

It's yours.

Take it and the girl and get out.

You puttin' me on?

That chick has really got you uptight, hasn't she.

Listen if it hadn't been for her, them cops

would have grabbed me.

She helped me.

I don't want her here.

If you can't do without her,

clear out with her.

Well, now, I can't just let her go.

She knows too much.

I didn't say let her go.

You got to kill her.

All right. Sure.

But not right now.

I mean, I just met her. Give us a little

time together.

Get out.

Get out. Goodbye. Get out.

You know I have had it with you.

All that time we spent in the joint together.

You always telling me about

how you're gonna make us both rich.

We never pulled off any of those big time plans

without something blowing up in our face.

Like that safe that went off in your ugly face.

I'm going.

You better believe I'm gone.

Come on.

Teach. Boy, we've had some times together

Most of 'em bad.

Tommy, Eddie.

Al just left for the girl.

Kill 'em both.

Oh, hey, come on now, Teach.

And how long before they go to the cops,

especially the girl?

I'll be here when you get back.

We'll put together somethin' real good.

You know, boys,

a man has to look out for himself.

With him gone it's a three-way split.

I call that looking out for yourself.

Well, go get him.

Come on, Ed.

What are we gonna do now?

Everything is gonna be cool. Don't worry about it.

First we gotta get a car.

What're you gonna do, steal one?

Hey, what are you doing?

Do you just take any one you want?

Look over there, find one that isn't locked.

Because sometimes they hide their keys.

Tippy, over here.

Police.

POLICEMAN: [ON RADIO] Any available unit,

possible auto theft reported in progress,

207 North Central, garage.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[SIREN WAILING]

Al. Hey, Al.

Hey, Al. It's all over, Al.

Hey, we gotta do it.

The girl too, Al.

Teacher says so.

Do it? Al, do it. What does he mean, Al?

Shut up.

Sit tight, honey.

[TIRES SQUEALING]

[SCREAMING]

Now look, stay cool. We won't get hurt. All right.

[SCREAMING]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[GASPING AND SCREAMING]

Three cars down, Tommy.

[BULLET RICOCHETS]

Freeze.

Tommy.

Freeze.

Slide that gun over.

You killed my brother.

[GROANS]

It's all your fault.

You stupid broad. The Teacher was right.

Hey, I just want to go home. Okay.

Please. I just wanna go home.

This is Ludlow 7, requesting an ambulance

at 207 North Central.

We're on the roof of the garage.

I am sorry but I just don't understand.

Sit down, please, Mrs. Coleman.

You see, we had to arrest her for harboring the fugitive.

You don't, you don't think that she...

I don't think you have to worry, Mrs. Coleman.

It was Tippy's description of the Teacher that

enabled us to capture him.

I think that will sit pretty well with the court.

There will be a preliminary hearing in a few days,

In the mean time she is released into your custody.

She doesn't need custody.

What she needs is someone to love her.

To care for, to understand her.

Mother and father are divorced and she just has nothing.

No one except me.

Hmm? Mrs. Coleman.

Oh, Tippy.

Tippy. Oh, baby.

I'm sorry I didn't know. I just thought it was

gonna be fun.

You all right, honey It's all right.

Baby.

I'll be glad to drive you both home.

Oh, thank you. Thank you.

Thank you very much. Thank you.
