It's just a matter of getting a real lead. 12 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,740 I've been trying to get a clue by checking up on some 13 00:03:24,740 --> 00:03:26,659 of the men that were associated with him in the past. 14 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:28,939 The best bet seems to be Monty Mason. 15 00:03:29,669 --> 00:03:31,270 He made plenty of money for Belmont. 16 00:03:31,770 --> 00:03:34,270 It took an expert to spot his counterfeit, 17 00:03:34,270 --> 00:03:36,770 but Mason was eventually retired to the penitentiary. 18 00:03:37,330 --> 00:03:37,729 That's right. 19 00:03:38,460 --> 00:03:39,689 But recently he was paroled. 20 00:03:40,270 --> 00:03:43,069 Now he's working for the Burroughs Engraving Company on Fifth Street. 21 00:03:43,569 --> 00:03:46,409 It wouldn't take Belmont long to learn that and get in touch with Mason. 22 00:03:47,030 --> 00:03:49,139 That's exactly why I'm gonna pay him a little visit. 23 00:03:51,219 --> 00:03:53,289 So when the company put me on here as night watchman, 24 00:03:53,289 --> 00:03:55,539 they said they'd give me some engraving jobs if I made good. 25 00:03:56,340 --> 00:03:58,319 So I'm really trying to go straight. 26 00:03:59,379 --> 00:04:00,469 How about the crooks, Mason? 27 00:04:00,810 --> 00:04:03,750 Will they let you? They've got nothing to do with it. I'm my own boss. 28 00:04:04,770 --> 00:04:07,990 I can't imagine you saying that to Jim Belmont. I did say that to Jim Belmont. 29 00:04:08,629 --> 00:04:11,729 Not personally, because no one gets near him except his closest pals. 30 00:04:12,310 --> 00:04:13,669 But I did send word that I was through. 31 00:04:14,740 --> 00:04:16,819 And he sent word right back that you'd continue 32 00:04:16,819 --> 00:04:19,680 to make counterfeit for him or be a corpse. Yeah, you're right. 33 00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:21,579 I'm in a tough spot. 34 00:04:22,509 --> 00:04:23,550 Supposing I get you out of it? 35 00:04:24,829 --> 00:04:25,129 How? 36 00:04:25,850 --> 00:04:27,290 By letting you help me catch Belmont. 37 00:04:27,970 --> 00:04:30,120 By pretending to make counterfeit for him. Pretend? 38 00:04:31,310 --> 00:04:34,589 What do you mean pretend? I'd have to deliver the goods, wouldn't I? And you would. 39 00:04:35,170 --> 00:04:36,329 Goods made by Uncle Sam. 40 00:04:37,149 --> 00:04:39,810 You mean give him real money? Of course. 41 00:04:40,949 --> 00:04:42,550 He'll have an easy time passing it, 42 00:04:42,550 --> 00:04:45,149 and you'll be able to gain his confidence completely. I get it. 43 00:04:45,959 --> 00:04:48,420 When he bites, you'll send word that you want a larger cut. 44 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:50,120 He'll refuse. 45 00:04:50,870 --> 00:04:53,449 But you stand pat and say that the matter can't be handled by go-betweens. 46 00:04:54,250 --> 00:04:56,060 Then he'll have to arrange to see you personally. 47 00:04:57,220 --> 00:04:58,060 That's where I step in. 48 00:04:59,360 --> 00:04:59,720 You game? 49 00:05:01,019 --> 00:05:01,319 Sure. 50 00:05:02,310 --> 00:05:06,019 But I have to laugh when I think of Belmont passing a real dough, 51 00:05:06,019 --> 00:05:06,810 believing it's counterfeit. 52 00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:16,000 Monty Mason must have done postgraduate work in the penitentiary. 53 00:05:16,879 --> 00:05:19,750 His new bills are almost good enough to fool the Treasury Department. 54 00:05:20,149 --> 00:05:22,500 Yeah, but Mason's balking. He wants a bigger cut. 55 00:05:23,100 --> 00:05:23,579 How big? 50-50. 56 00:05:26,740 --> 00:05:29,350 Go back and tell him I'll decide that. It won't do any good. 57 00:05:29,389 --> 00:05:31,589 He wants to see you personally and have an understanding. 58 00:05:32,009 --> 00:05:33,649 Oh, but Jim, you can't let him come here. 59 00:05:33,850 --> 00:05:37,290 Or go to his place. He's still on parole, and the cops will be checking up on him. 60 00:05:38,470 --> 00:05:39,529 I'll arrange a meeting with him. 61 00:05:40,379 --> 00:05:42,100 Then we'll persuade him to send for his plates. 62 00:05:42,980 --> 00:05:45,079 After we have those, then we won't need him. 63 00:05:48,220 --> 00:05:49,740 You certainly called all the turns, Blake. 64 00:05:50,060 --> 00:05:52,250 I didn't think Belmont would ever agree to a meeting. Well, 65 00:05:52,250 --> 00:05:56,170 he's probably short of cash. But remember, he'll take plenty of precautions. 66 00:05:57,050 --> 00:05:58,389 How do you explain the box? Well, 67 00:05:58,389 --> 00:06:02,029 I told him I was bringing along a bundle of bills to show my good intentions. 68 00:06:02,170 --> 00:06:03,829 That's fine. Well, I'm all set. 69 00:06:05,009 --> 00:06:08,009 Unless they send somebody that will recognize you. Very little danger of that. 70 00:06:08,149 --> 00:06:09,839 They send a different man every time they contact me. 71 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,100 Another new guy, you're a cinch. 72 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:30,899 Good luck. 73 00:06:38,389 --> 00:06:39,089 You're Mason. 74 00:06:39,990 --> 00:06:40,250 Right. 75 00:06:41,250 --> 00:06:42,189 How do I know who you are? 76 00:06:42,970 --> 00:06:46,329 You wanted a meeting with Belmont.
