Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:02:00,621 --> 00:02:02,456
We'll be at the airport
in about twenty minutes.
2
00:02:02,748 --> 00:02:04,917
That'll put us in Las Vegas about 2:30.
3
00:02:05,668 --> 00:02:07,253
We're going after Granger,
aren't we, lieutenant?
4
00:02:07,545 --> 00:02:08,379
That's right.
5
00:02:08,671 --> 00:02:09,922
What's the charge?
6
00:02:10,464 --> 00:02:11,340
Murder.
7
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,718
What happens to a guy
like Granger?
8
00:02:15,010 --> 00:02:16,345
I don't know.
9
00:02:16,637 --> 00:02:18,013
Too much ambition maybe.
10
00:02:18,305 --> 00:02:20,182
Too many brains working
in the wrong direction.
11
00:02:20,766 --> 00:02:22,184
Or maybe it's glandular.
12
00:02:22,935 --> 00:02:24,270
Step on it. We're late.
13
00:02:26,730 --> 00:02:28,274
Carter wanted to talk.
14
00:02:28,566 --> 00:02:31,026
But what could I tell him
about the real Mal Granger?
15
00:02:31,318 --> 00:02:33,154
And I knew him better than most.
16
00:02:33,445 --> 00:02:35,322
He was in the racing wire
service racket.
17
00:02:35,739 --> 00:02:38,117
But he started out
just like anybody else.
18
00:02:38,409 --> 00:02:39,702
He wasn't a criminal.
19
00:02:40,202 --> 00:02:42,705
He was just a guy working
for the telephone company.
20
00:02:45,666 --> 00:02:47,960
I just wish I could lay my hands on
Don Ameche for a while.
21
00:02:48,252 --> 00:02:49,753
I'd teach him to invent the telephone.
22
00:02:50,921 --> 00:02:53,591
I've always had a secret desire
to cross up some of these wires.
23
00:02:53,883 --> 00:02:55,509
Get all the wrong people
talking to each other.
24
00:02:57,469 --> 00:02:59,346
Might be interesting at that.
25
00:02:59,805 --> 00:03:01,724
Oh, lady, lady.
26
00:03:02,766 --> 00:03:04,393
What are you so quiet about?
27
00:03:04,685 --> 00:03:05,728
Bessie's sick again.
28
00:03:06,020 --> 00:03:08,480
Every time we get almost caught up,
one of the kids gets sick.
29
00:03:08,772 --> 00:03:09,231
Kaplooey.
30
00:03:09,523 --> 00:03:10,232
I don't see how you do it.
31
00:03:10,524 --> 00:03:12,276
Take care of a wife and a couple of kids
on our dough.
32
00:03:12,568 --> 00:03:14,528
I can't even handle myself
on that chicken feed.
33
00:03:14,820 --> 00:03:15,404
It's tough, Mal.
34
00:03:15,696 --> 00:03:17,698
If it wasn't for a couple of bets
now and then, I'd never make it.
35
00:03:17,990 --> 00:03:19,116
Here.
36
00:03:19,408 --> 00:03:20,451
There's twenty bucks that's not working.
37
00:03:20,743 --> 00:03:22,995
No thanks, Mal. If I need it at the end
of the week, I'll let you know.
38
00:03:23,287 --> 00:03:25,372
By the end of the week I may not
have it. You better take it now.
39
00:03:25,664 --> 00:03:26,373
Gee, thanks, Mal.
40
00:03:26,665 --> 00:03:27,833
Tessie's gonna love you for this.
41
00:03:28,125 --> 00:03:29,752
Yeah? My bookie's gonna hate me.
42
00:03:30,044 --> 00:03:31,462
See you at lunch.
- Right.
43
00:03:34,381 --> 00:03:35,758
Forget about those daily doubles, bud.
44
00:03:36,050 --> 00:03:37,009
Thanks.
45
00:03:37,301 --> 00:03:39,345
Say, how about mine?
- Hello, Bill.
46
00:03:39,637 --> 00:03:42,264
Six forty and twelve thirty.
Eighteen seventy I owe you.
47
00:03:42,556 --> 00:03:42,973
Well, finally.
48
00:03:43,265 --> 00:03:44,516
Stick with me, kid, you get nothing
but winners.
49
00:03:44,808 --> 00:03:46,101
Ah, that was yesterday.
50
00:03:46,769 --> 00:03:48,687
Hi Jack.
- Hi Chippie. 22.
51
00:03:48,979 --> 00:03:51,565
Ought to start breaking for you soon.
A guy can't play tough luck all the time
52
00:03:51,857 --> 00:03:53,484
I'll believe it when you
begin to pay off.
53
00:03:53,776 --> 00:03:55,527
It'll be a pleasure. Here.
54
00:03:55,819 --> 00:03:57,196
Scratch sheet on the house.
55
00:03:57,488 --> 00:03:59,198
Something in there might really pay off.
56
00:03:59,490 --> 00:04:00,658
Hi, Chippie.
- Hi, Mal.
57
00:04:00,950 --> 00:04:02,368
How's the banking business?
- Fine.
58
00:04:02,660 --> 00:04:05,371
All right, how much do I owe you?
And slug me gently, will you?
59
00:04:05,663 --> 00:04:06,330
Forty even.
60
00:04:06,622 --> 00:04:07,957
You ought to start playing
some chalk horses.
61
00:04:08,249 --> 00:04:09,541
Too many of those long shots run out.
62
00:04:09,833 --> 00:04:11,585
I don't get any bang out of those
even money payoffs.
63
00:04:11,877 --> 00:04:13,545
For me, it's boxcars or nothing.
64
00:04:13,837 --> 00:04:15,005
'Course this week it's nothing.
65
00:04:15,297 --> 00:04:17,049
But, if you can carry me
till Saturday, little man.
66
00:04:17,341 --> 00:04:19,093
Sure, Mal, anytime.
67
00:04:19,385 --> 00:04:21,387
You know me, Chippie.
68
00:04:21,679 --> 00:04:24,265
I don't see why a guy like you
should always be broke.
69
00:04:24,848 --> 00:04:26,767
Why, if I had your...
70
00:04:28,769 --> 00:04:30,688
Hey.
71
00:04:30,980 --> 00:04:32,940
How about having a cup of coffee
with me?
72
00:04:33,232 --> 00:04:34,608
Well, you're buying I hope.
73
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:36,777
Sure.
- All right.
74
00:04:37,486 --> 00:04:38,779
Two coffees.
75
00:04:39,071 --> 00:04:39,989
Right.
76
00:04:40,572 --> 00:04:42,324
Say uh...
77
00:04:42,616 --> 00:04:44,118
You wouldn't want to carry me
for another five, would you?
78
00:04:44,410 --> 00:04:45,995
I like Big Day in the sixth at Aubrey.
79
00:04:46,287 --> 00:04:47,079
Big Day?
- Yeah.
80
00:04:47,371 --> 00:04:48,372
10 to 1, huh?
- Yeah.
81
00:04:48,664 --> 00:04:50,499
It ain't the money, Mal, it's just that
he don't look so good.
82
00:04:50,791 --> 00:04:52,793
All I can lose is five bucks
and if it wins, I break even.
83
00:04:53,085 --> 00:04:54,628
How about it, Chippie?
84
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,130
Five straight on Big Day.
85
00:04:56,422 --> 00:04:58,465
You know the only good thing
about putting bets on these?
86
00:04:58,757 --> 00:05:01,343
I don't get indigestion swallowing them
every time a cop walks in.
87
00:05:02,511 --> 00:05:04,471
You know, kid, if I were you,
I'd lay off the races.
88
00:05:04,763 --> 00:05:05,931
That's the sucker's end of the racket.
89
00:05:06,515 --> 00:05:08,517
All right, so maybe I'm losing
a customer.
90
00:05:08,809 --> 00:05:10,728
But you're the kind of guy that's always
on the prowl for a fast buck.
91
00:05:11,020 --> 00:05:12,021
And you're not going to make it
off the ponies.
92
00:05:12,313 --> 00:05:14,064
How do you know? I might hit a streak.
Other guys have.
93
00:05:14,356 --> 00:05:15,941
You're still taking the odds, Mal.
94
00:05:16,233 --> 00:05:18,569
You ought to be able to turn a buck on
the side if you really need money.
95
00:05:18,861 --> 00:05:19,820
Lend me a nickel, will you?
96
00:05:20,112 --> 00:05:21,447
Here you are working for peanuts.
97
00:05:21,739 --> 00:05:23,657
When you got something up there
that's worth a million bucks.
98
00:05:23,949 --> 00:05:24,825
Yeah?
99
00:05:25,242 --> 00:05:27,828
Anytime you figure a way I can
put it in the bank, I'll believe it.
100
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,747
You could be rolling in dough.
101
00:05:30,039 --> 00:05:32,666
You got a know-how with
telephones and electronics
102
00:05:32,958 --> 00:05:34,293
that's worth plenty to the right guy.
103
00:05:34,710 --> 00:05:37,129
Dames, clothes, automobiles,
104
00:05:37,421 --> 00:05:39,423
You could have anything you want, kid,
if you knew the right guy.
105
00:05:39,715 --> 00:05:40,799
You said that before.
106
00:05:41,091 --> 00:05:42,217
I know the right guy, Mal.
107
00:05:42,509 --> 00:05:43,302
He needs help.
108
00:05:43,594 --> 00:05:45,471
So why shouldn't you be the guy
that makes the buck?
109
00:05:46,138 --> 00:05:48,891
His name is Vince Wallace.
He runs the Tri-State Press.
110
00:05:49,475 --> 00:05:51,101
I'll give you a run down on him
in a minute.
111
00:05:51,393 --> 00:05:52,811
I want to get your bet in
before post time.
112
00:06:03,864 --> 00:06:05,324
Hello, Moe?
113
00:06:05,616 --> 00:06:06,575
Chippie.
114
00:06:06,867 --> 00:06:08,702
What's the last post
for the sixth at Aubrey?
115
00:06:09,370 --> 00:06:10,621
4:20?
116
00:06:11,622 --> 00:06:14,583
Five to win on Big Day for Mal G.
117
00:06:15,084 --> 00:06:16,210
Yeah, that's all.
118
00:06:23,342 --> 00:06:25,386
Well, now that I owe you another fin,
I guess I have to listen to you.
119
00:06:25,677 --> 00:06:27,930
All right, what is it that I've got that
this Wallace can't leave alone?
120
00:06:28,222 --> 00:06:29,973
This Tri-State is a wire service.
121
00:06:30,265 --> 00:06:32,017
It furnishes bookmakers with
all the dope for every race.
122
00:06:32,309 --> 00:06:33,227
Direct from the track.
123
00:06:33,644 --> 00:06:35,562
Would you like to see how
the other half lives?
124
00:06:36,730 --> 00:06:37,940
Yeah.
125
00:06:54,373 --> 00:06:55,749
Hey.
126
00:06:56,583 --> 00:06:57,960
Are they kidding?
127
00:07:04,133 --> 00:07:05,342
Hello, Jake.
- Hi.
128
00:07:05,634 --> 00:07:07,511
Got a man for the golden furnace.
- Okay.
129
00:07:45,340 --> 00:07:46,717
I tell you the wire broke down.
130
00:07:47,009 --> 00:07:48,844
Can I help it if we were late
with the prices?
131
00:07:49,136 --> 00:07:50,762
Nothing but beefs.
132
00:07:51,054 --> 00:07:54,349
Half the time they're so drunk
you don't know what race is going.
133
00:07:54,641 --> 00:07:56,393
What can I do for you, Chippie?
- Nothing.
134
00:07:56,685 --> 00:07:57,936
We're gonna do something for you.
135
00:07:58,228 --> 00:08:00,147
This is Mal Granger, Vince Wallace.
- How are you?
136
00:08:00,439 --> 00:08:02,191
Mal's with the telephone company.
137
00:08:02,483 --> 00:08:04,443
He's smart and knows electronics.
138
00:08:04,735 --> 00:08:06,236
Telephone company, huh?
- Yeah.
139
00:08:06,528 --> 00:08:07,988
I'm glad to know you Granger.
140
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,115
Can I buy you a drink?
- No thanks. I don't drink in the daytime
141
00:08:10,407 --> 00:08:11,450
I get into enough trouble without it.
142
00:08:11,742 --> 00:08:12,451
Don't let him kid you.
143
00:08:12,743 --> 00:08:14,620
Aside from liking the ponies,
Mal's a steady citizen.
144
00:08:14,912 --> 00:08:16,413
I'm glad you came, Granger.
145
00:08:16,705 --> 00:08:18,665
Ever seen a layout like this before?
- No.
146
00:08:18,957 --> 00:08:20,125
I'll show you around.
147
00:08:22,211 --> 00:08:25,047
A bookmaker can't exist
without race results.
148
00:08:25,339 --> 00:08:27,799
Right now the only wire service in town
is my outfit.
149
00:08:28,091 --> 00:08:29,927
You see that telegraph key?
150
00:08:30,219 --> 00:08:32,095
That's the backbone of the whole racket.
151
00:08:32,554 --> 00:08:35,599
You see, my wire service is legitimate.
152
00:08:37,017 --> 00:08:38,685
There's no law against selling
this information to anybody.
153
00:08:39,269 --> 00:08:41,063
Those guys are talking to
bookmakers right now.
154
00:08:41,355 --> 00:08:42,439
That's live dope.
155
00:08:42,731 --> 00:08:44,191
We charge them plenty.
156
00:08:44,483 --> 00:08:46,151
They get a running description
of everything
157
00:08:46,443 --> 00:08:48,070
that's taking place at all the tracks.
158
00:08:48,362 --> 00:08:52,241
The last odds, jockey changes,
scratches, post and off time,
159
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,244
The actual running of the race
and the results.
160
00:08:55,536 --> 00:08:57,412
All with split second timing.
161
00:08:57,871 --> 00:09:00,749
Of course, some of the tracks
don't help us any but...
162
00:09:01,041 --> 00:09:02,626
We've got ways of getting
the information out
163
00:09:02,918 --> 00:09:03,585
whether they like it or not.
164
00:09:03,877 --> 00:09:04,378
I get it.
165
00:09:04,670 --> 00:09:07,714
But if it was my outfit, I wouldn't want
to rely on a one lung setup like this.
166
00:09:08,006 --> 00:09:09,132
Too many things can go wrong.
167
00:09:09,424 --> 00:09:10,425
You're telling me.
168
00:09:10,717 --> 00:09:12,052
Come on back to the office a minute.
169
00:09:12,344 --> 00:09:13,554
Close the door, Chippie.
170
00:09:13,845 --> 00:09:15,639
What I want to do is expand.
171
00:09:15,931 --> 00:09:17,057
That's where the real gravy lies.
172
00:09:17,349 --> 00:09:18,100
Let me show you something.
173
00:09:18,517 --> 00:09:20,852
Right now, there isn't a bigger outfit
in the whole state.
174
00:09:21,144 --> 00:09:23,689
So, the first guy that comes along
and gives bang up results
175
00:09:23,981 --> 00:09:25,023
is gonna make a hat full.
176
00:09:25,315 --> 00:09:27,317
There are hundreds of bookmakers
in every one of these towns.
177
00:09:27,609 --> 00:09:30,195
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland,
178
00:09:30,487 --> 00:09:33,365
Sacramento, Stockton, Fresno, San Diego.
179
00:09:33,824 --> 00:09:35,659
Are you really hep to electronics?
180
00:09:35,951 --> 00:09:37,035
I know what I'm doing.
181
00:09:37,327 --> 00:09:39,788
What I need is a way to
distribute my information
182
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,707
all over the state at the same time.
183
00:09:41,999 --> 00:09:43,333
It would cost you dough
but you could do it.
184
00:09:43,625 --> 00:09:44,918
Did you ever hear of relay amplifiers?
185
00:09:45,210 --> 00:09:45,961
Relay amplifier?
186
00:09:46,253 --> 00:09:48,422
Yeah, that's a new gadget that was
developed so people in different cities
187
00:09:48,714 --> 00:09:50,716
could listen in to a telephone
conference at the same time.
188
00:09:51,008 --> 00:09:53,010
Could you set one up for me so it would
work right out of L.A.?
189
00:09:53,302 --> 00:09:54,011
Oh, sure.
190
00:09:54,303 --> 00:09:57,180
You could run wires right out of this
basement to any city you wanted.
191
00:09:57,472 --> 00:09:59,224
Then the bookies in the other cities
could get the results
192
00:09:59,516 --> 00:10:00,809
just like the guys
in the next room here.
193
00:10:01,101 --> 00:10:01,602
Good.
194
00:10:01,893 --> 00:10:04,229
I'd get rid of that telegrapher and
set up a teletype system.
195
00:10:04,521 --> 00:10:06,773
Then you have a guy at a microphone
broadcast the results
196
00:10:07,065 --> 00:10:09,109
just like a regular news broadcast
from a radio station.
197
00:10:09,401 --> 00:10:11,236
Get the equipment and
set it up for me like that
198
00:10:11,528 --> 00:10:13,405
and it's worth $125 a week to you.
199
00:10:13,697 --> 00:10:15,574
Just as technical man
to keep it running.
200
00:10:18,535 --> 00:10:19,828
I'll make it a hundred and fifty.
201
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,246
Is it a deal?
202
00:10:21,538 --> 00:10:23,290
I always knew there was some way
to beat the races.
203
00:10:23,582 --> 00:10:25,042
That'll do for now.
- Good.
204
00:10:25,334 --> 00:10:27,419
One of you guys better count
your fingers. Hello, Chippie.
205
00:10:27,711 --> 00:10:29,463
Sorry to be late, Vince. There was
a little trouble at the bank.
206
00:10:29,755 --> 00:10:30,756
They didn't like some of those checks.
207
00:10:31,048 --> 00:10:32,049
More bum checks, huh?
208
00:10:32,341 --> 00:10:33,592
Mal Granger, Trudy Maxwell.
209
00:10:33,884 --> 00:10:34,593
How are you?
- Hi.
210
00:10:34,885 --> 00:10:36,428
He's going to put in
a few improvements around here.
211
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,680
You mean like fresh air?
I'm beginning to feel like a termite
212
00:10:38,972 --> 00:10:40,307
working out of this basement
all the time.
213
00:10:40,599 --> 00:10:42,017
Yeah, you could stand
a little air conditioning.
214
00:10:42,309 --> 00:10:44,394
When I have time, you might give me
your ideas on the subject.
215
00:10:44,686 --> 00:10:46,063
You've got a new approach.
216
00:10:46,355 --> 00:10:49,149
First guy I ever met that made
air conditioning sound like etchings.
217
00:10:49,441 --> 00:10:50,484
I've got things to do, Mal
218
00:10:50,776 --> 00:10:52,653
You'll start work tomorrow, huh?
The faster, the better.
219
00:10:52,944 --> 00:10:54,821
You can say that again.
Nice to have met you, Vince.
220
00:10:55,489 --> 00:10:56,615
It was my pleasure.
221
00:10:56,907 --> 00:10:58,533
Goodbye.
- So long.
222
00:11:24,976 --> 00:11:26,436
That's a good dinner, isn't it?
223
00:11:26,728 --> 00:11:27,896
The steaks are delicious.
224
00:11:28,188 --> 00:11:30,065
And to think, three hours ago
I was a wage slave.
225
00:11:30,357 --> 00:11:31,733
You ought to get rid of that.
- Uh-uh.
226
00:11:32,025 --> 00:11:34,194
I still can't figure out why you
quit the phone company.
227
00:11:34,486 --> 00:11:36,446
Honey, I got to thinking.
Are telephones here to stay?
228
00:11:36,738 --> 00:11:39,366
Sure, they're here to stay.
You were doing fine with the company.
229
00:11:39,658 --> 00:11:41,743
I was already beginning
to make a few plans.
230
00:11:42,035 --> 00:11:43,954
Yeah? What kind of plans?
231
00:11:44,246 --> 00:11:46,248
You know. I thought maybe
after your next raise...
232
00:11:46,540 --> 00:11:48,166
Honey, there's nothing wrong
with your plans.
233
00:11:48,458 --> 00:11:50,419
You just got the wrong guy.
- What do you mean?
234
00:11:50,711 --> 00:11:53,213
You just hang on to your plans, baby,
but let go of me.
235
00:11:53,505 --> 00:11:55,132
How are your plans...for tonight?
236
00:12:05,434 --> 00:12:06,476
Hey.
237
00:12:06,768 --> 00:12:08,061
What are they doing here?
238
00:12:08,353 --> 00:12:09,730
Excuse us.
239
00:12:13,942 --> 00:12:16,194
This is another one of Vince's angles.
240
00:12:16,486 --> 00:12:18,029
He runs a check cashing service
for bookmakers.
241
00:12:18,321 --> 00:12:19,823
He's sharp, all right.
242
00:12:20,115 --> 00:12:22,367
I'm telling you right now,
I won't discount any more
243
00:12:22,659 --> 00:12:23,452
checks at the old rate.
244
00:12:23,744 --> 00:12:25,954
If you want to duck income tax,
you get eighty cents on a buck
245
00:12:26,246 --> 00:12:27,289
for every stiff and no more.
246
00:12:27,581 --> 00:12:28,039
It's not that, Vince.
247
00:12:28,331 --> 00:12:30,292
He can't keep up the payments
on the 3,000 you advanced him.
248
00:12:30,584 --> 00:12:31,960
It ain't my fault, Mr. Walters.
249
00:12:32,252 --> 00:12:34,463
I only borrowed that dough because I
went overboard. I couldn't pay off.
250
00:12:34,755 --> 00:12:37,340
So what? I want my dough
and the interest.
251
00:12:37,758 --> 00:12:39,551
If you can't keep up your payments,
I'll cut you off the service.
252
00:12:39,843 --> 00:12:41,303
If you do that, I'm out of business.
253
00:12:41,595 --> 00:12:43,597
I gotta have that service, Mr. Walters.
254
00:12:43,889 --> 00:12:45,766
If you could only give me a little time.
255
00:12:46,308 --> 00:12:47,893
I'll give you one week.
256
00:12:48,185 --> 00:12:51,104
Thanks, Mr. Walters, thanks. I'll...
- Get out.
257
00:12:54,858 --> 00:12:57,235
For ten percent interest,
you have to expect a little trouble.
258
00:12:57,527 --> 00:12:59,446
We got 3,600 in stiffs yesterday.
259
00:12:59,738 --> 00:13:03,116
Yes, but you can't make any dough
playing handball with rubber checks.
260
00:13:09,581 --> 00:13:11,374
I want to see a girl about a boy.
261
00:13:15,712 --> 00:13:18,799
I was feeling a little corny just now
and couldn't resist coming over
262
00:13:19,090 --> 00:13:20,842
to tell you what a small world
I think it is.
263
00:13:21,134 --> 00:13:23,136
Oh yes, you're new little boy we hired
264
00:13:23,428 --> 00:13:25,180
to string wires up around the place.
- That's right.
265
00:13:25,472 --> 00:13:28,141
I'm also very good at filling in
when people's dates don't show up.
266
00:13:28,433 --> 00:13:29,351
Mine always do.
267
00:13:29,643 --> 00:13:32,771
I'm sure they do. But I thought maybe
you had a daughter around my age.
268
00:13:33,063 --> 00:13:34,147
What do you want?
269
00:13:34,439 --> 00:13:36,483
We're getting up a game
of hopscotch tonight and
270
00:13:36,775 --> 00:13:37,859
could you play on my side?
271
00:13:38,151 --> 00:13:39,569
You're wasting your breath, Granger.
272
00:13:39,861 --> 00:13:41,863
Trudy's all business.
Believe me, I know.
273
00:13:42,155 --> 00:13:43,865
You sound like an adding machine.
- Hello, Mr. Walters.
274
00:13:44,157 --> 00:13:46,159
I only dropped over
because I had an idea.
275
00:13:46,451 --> 00:13:48,286
Chippie tells me that Trudy
works the races for you.
276
00:13:48,578 --> 00:13:50,747
And I thought maybe I ought to go
out there with her and uh...
277
00:13:51,039 --> 00:13:52,082
See just what the setup is.
278
00:13:52,374 --> 00:13:53,542
You can do that later.
279
00:13:53,834 --> 00:13:55,460
For the first few weeks you're
gonna have enough to do
280
00:13:55,752 --> 00:13:56,962
wiring up that new system.
281
00:13:58,046 --> 00:14:00,632
Well, I'm uh...I'm glad
we had this little talk.
282
00:14:10,141 --> 00:14:11,351
How are you, lieutenant?
283
00:14:11,643 --> 00:14:12,686
Hello, Wright.
284
00:14:13,353 --> 00:14:15,146
Thanks for requesting me for your squad.
285
00:14:15,438 --> 00:14:16,189
Sit down.
286
00:14:16,481 --> 00:14:17,107
Where do I start?
287
00:14:17,399 --> 00:14:20,360
You have a reputation of being a guy
nobody can approach.
288
00:14:20,652 --> 00:14:23,446
That's why I asked for you when
they gave me the gangster squad.
289
00:14:24,948 --> 00:14:27,450
You can start by checking up
on the bookie racket.
290
00:14:27,742 --> 00:14:30,203
They've been having things
their own way too long.
291
00:14:31,580 --> 00:14:33,206
There's one outfit in particular.
292
00:14:33,498 --> 00:14:36,167
They call themselves the
Libertt Finance Company.
293
00:14:37,836 --> 00:14:39,462
That's all we have on them so far.
294
00:14:41,631 --> 00:14:42,924
There was enough there to convince me
295
00:14:43,216 --> 00:14:44,801
that the Libertt Finance Co.
was the front
296
00:14:45,093 --> 00:14:48,054
for one of California's largest
bookmaking organizations.
297
00:14:48,346 --> 00:14:51,182
We didn't know then that Vince Walters'
Tri-State Wire Service
298
00:14:51,474 --> 00:14:52,601
was actually behind it.
299
00:14:52,893 --> 00:14:54,769
And that Mal Granger
was the technical brains.
300
00:14:55,353 --> 00:14:58,732
His improvements ran the daily take
up to staggering figures.
301
00:15:08,575 --> 00:15:11,828
They're on the track in Chicago
and ready to go.
302
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,414
Where's Vince?
- In Mal's workshop.
303
00:15:15,165 --> 00:15:19,252
And there they go. They're ready
in Chicago at 36 1/2
304
00:15:19,544 --> 00:15:21,296
It's a switch on those
walkie-talkie radios, huh?
305
00:15:21,588 --> 00:15:22,631
That's right and miniature.
306
00:15:22,923 --> 00:15:24,174
If it works.
- It'll work.
307
00:15:24,466 --> 00:15:25,967
He receives me
through this hearing aid, see?
308
00:15:26,259 --> 00:15:28,261
And the amplifier and microphone become
a transmitter
309
00:15:28,553 --> 00:15:29,387
and that's how he gets back at me.
310
00:15:29,679 --> 00:15:30,931
His cane here serves as an aerial.
311
00:15:31,222 --> 00:15:33,308
Pop, just keep that ring
right on the metal band, will you?
312
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,143
The only trouble we might get into
313
00:15:35,435 --> 00:15:37,312
is if a federal monitor car
picked up his frequency.
314
00:15:37,604 --> 00:15:39,314
Then they could triangulate the beam.
How does that feel, Pop?
315
00:15:39,606 --> 00:15:43,068
Fine, fine. However I must say
that I feel utterly ridiculous
316
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:44,319
being wired for sound.
317
00:15:44,611 --> 00:15:46,029
Still the erector set kid, huh?
318
00:15:46,321 --> 00:15:48,239
Well, why work when
electricity will do it for you?
319
00:15:48,531 --> 00:15:49,991
There's things it hasn't been able
to do for me.
320
00:15:50,283 --> 00:15:52,077
Mal wants to try out this new
gadget today, Trudy.
321
00:15:52,369 --> 00:15:54,162
I thought maybe you'd better take him
out to the track with you.
322
00:15:54,454 --> 00:15:54,955
Show him how you work.
323
00:15:55,246 --> 00:15:56,581
Things have getting
a little hot out there.
324
00:15:56,873 --> 00:15:57,791
It'll be my pleasure.
325
00:15:58,083 --> 00:15:59,000
Madame.
326
00:16:40,417 --> 00:16:41,918
Eight on top.
327
00:16:42,502 --> 00:16:43,461
Twelve.
328
00:16:44,212 --> 00:16:45,296
Two and a half.
329
00:16:46,965 --> 00:16:47,966
Eight.
330
00:16:49,467 --> 00:16:50,593
Two.
331
00:16:51,511 --> 00:16:53,096
and twenty on the bottom.
332
00:16:55,348 --> 00:16:56,391
All set, Pop.
333
00:16:56,683 --> 00:16:58,560
Let's test it once from the grandstand.
334
00:16:59,394 --> 00:17:01,521
Officer, can you tell me
where the coffee shop is?
335
00:17:01,813 --> 00:17:03,148
Right over the grandstand.
336
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,191
I say, officer...
337
00:17:05,483 --> 00:17:07,444
You're just the man I was looking for.
338
00:17:07,736 --> 00:17:09,487
My eyesight isn't too good.
339
00:17:09,779 --> 00:17:10,572
I wonder.
340
00:17:10,864 --> 00:17:12,699
Could you give me
the odds on this race?
341
00:17:12,991 --> 00:17:15,035
Sure. Number 1, 8 to...
342
00:17:16,578 --> 00:17:18,413
Number 1, 8 to 1,
343
00:17:18,705 --> 00:17:20,206
Number 2, 12 to 1,
344
00:17:20,498 --> 00:17:22,250
Number 3, 5 to 2,
345
00:17:22,542 --> 00:17:23,835
Number 4, 5 to 2,
346
00:17:24,127 --> 00:17:25,462
Number 5, 8 to 1,
347
00:17:25,754 --> 00:17:26,546
Number 6,
348
00:17:26,838 --> 00:17:27,505
2 to 1,
349
00:17:27,797 --> 00:17:29,215
Number 7, 20 to 1,
350
00:17:29,507 --> 00:17:31,468
Thank you, sir, thank you.
- Don't mention it.
351
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:32,969
This is the life, Sonny.
352
00:17:33,261 --> 00:17:36,347
You put horses and radio together,
what do you get? Nothing but money.
353
00:17:36,639 --> 00:17:38,183
You mean Vince's got it.
354
00:17:38,475 --> 00:17:39,809
We're just a couple of hired hands.
355
00:17:40,101 --> 00:17:41,269
I don't see him cutting you in.
356
00:17:41,561 --> 00:17:43,813
That's because I'm the shy type.
I haven't asked him yet.
357
00:17:44,105 --> 00:17:46,024
When the time comes, he'll put out.
358
00:17:46,316 --> 00:17:48,151
About time for those dogs to get going.
359
00:17:49,069 --> 00:17:50,320
Hey, they got Trudy.
360
00:17:50,612 --> 00:17:52,947
The pigs just grabbed her.
They're taking her away.
361
00:17:59,621 --> 00:18:01,581
Hey, Pop, take over.
They just pinched Trudy.
362
00:18:01,873 --> 00:18:02,957
Sonny.
363
00:18:04,209 --> 00:18:05,752
You see, child? You're dated.
364
00:18:06,044 --> 00:18:08,922
From now on, the wire service
is strictly Superman stuff.
365
00:18:09,714 --> 00:18:10,590
What happened?
366
00:18:10,882 --> 00:18:12,759
They gave me the old heave-ho.
367
00:18:13,051 --> 00:18:14,886
Warned me never to darken
their track again.
368
00:18:15,178 --> 00:18:16,888
I guess that washes me up.
369
00:18:17,305 --> 00:18:20,100
You don't know anybody who needs
a slightly used signaler, do you?
370
00:18:20,391 --> 00:18:22,143
I'll put an ad in the paper for you.
371
00:18:22,435 --> 00:18:24,229
I'm afraid I'm too much of a specialist.
372
00:18:24,521 --> 00:18:27,524
Guess I should have married the boy
whose father owned the supermarket.
373
00:18:27,816 --> 00:18:29,859
Uh-uh. I'm allergic to that word
if you don't mind.
374
00:18:30,151 --> 00:18:31,569
Supermarket?
- No, marriage.
375
00:18:31,861 --> 00:18:33,154
Makes me break out in a rash.
376
00:18:33,446 --> 00:18:36,074
Don't worry. I won't be around long
enough to start you scratching.
377
00:18:36,366 --> 00:18:39,160
Maybe you ought to stick around. Maybe
we can find something else for you to do
378
00:18:39,452 --> 00:18:41,329
We?
- That's right, we.
379
00:18:41,746 --> 00:18:44,457
You sound like someone who thinks he's
going someplace.
380
00:18:45,583 --> 00:18:49,129
I'm not one to brag but...
Why don't you stick around and find out?
381
00:18:49,712 --> 00:18:51,631
Might be interesting at that.
382
00:18:55,385 --> 00:18:57,303
Look, Ma, one hand.
383
00:18:59,305 --> 00:19:01,182
Keep calm, little man. Keep calm.
384
00:19:01,474 --> 00:19:03,810
You sure it's all right to try it here?
Suppose the cops saw us?
385
00:19:04,102 --> 00:19:05,854
All we're doing is using
their wire fence for an aerial.
386
00:19:06,146 --> 00:19:08,189
If it works here,
it'll work at the racetrack.
387
00:19:08,857 --> 00:19:10,483
This is a low frequency transmitter,
Vince.
388
00:19:10,775 --> 00:19:12,527
I'm saving it for the day they
crack down on Pop.
389
00:19:12,819 --> 00:19:15,113
With the dough I put into this stuff,
I could own a radio station.
390
00:19:15,405 --> 00:19:16,865
With the dough you're making,
you could buy a network.
391
00:19:17,157 --> 00:19:18,283
Let's have your leg, Chippie.
392
00:19:19,576 --> 00:19:20,869
Hope you don't get electrocuted.
393
00:19:21,161 --> 00:19:23,037
Always kidding...I hope.
394
00:19:24,622 --> 00:19:25,832
Hey, what's that?
395
00:19:26,124 --> 00:19:27,709
That spring needle sets up the circuit.
396
00:19:28,168 --> 00:19:30,753
The wires on your leg run
to a low frequency carrier transmitter.
397
00:19:31,045 --> 00:19:32,255
The batteries are in that case.
398
00:19:32,839 --> 00:19:34,757
We put this telegraph key
in your right pants pocket.
399
00:19:35,466 --> 00:19:37,302
I'm left-handed.
All right. Your left pants pocket.
400
00:19:37,594 --> 00:19:39,846
Now all you gotta do is
make like a telegrapher.
401
00:19:40,138 --> 00:19:40,889
Come on.
402
00:19:42,807 --> 00:19:43,766
Now...
403
00:19:44,058 --> 00:19:46,436
When he leans against this wire fence,
he's a walking radio station.
404
00:19:46,728 --> 00:19:49,063
Of course, at the track, he'll have
all of these gadgets under his clothes.
405
00:19:49,355 --> 00:19:50,857
I still don't get
all of this electrical stuff.
406
00:19:51,149 --> 00:19:52,734
What I want to know is
how do we pick him up.
407
00:19:53,026 --> 00:19:54,194
That's what we got the car for.
408
00:19:54,485 --> 00:19:55,862
It's rigged to pick up his signals.
409
00:19:56,154 --> 00:19:58,323
The car keeps circling the track
while he broadcasts.
410
00:19:58,615 --> 00:20:00,617
Then they phone the dope to you.
Want to try it, Vince?
411
00:20:00,909 --> 00:20:01,701
Let's go.
412
00:20:12,337 --> 00:20:14,130
You sure got the angles, Mal.
413
00:20:14,422 --> 00:20:16,507
If it was anybody but Vince,
he'd give you part of the take.
414
00:20:16,799 --> 00:20:17,967
He'll cut me in, Chippie.
415
00:20:18,551 --> 00:20:20,470
I got him by the short hairs right now.
416
00:20:21,054 --> 00:20:22,597
I think they're ready. Start sending.
417
00:20:22,889 --> 00:20:23,723
Here's hoping.
418
00:20:24,015 --> 00:20:25,058
Don't worry. It'll work.
419
00:20:25,350 --> 00:20:26,184
Believe me, I know.
420
00:20:26,476 --> 00:20:29,187
I was down here myself and tried it
last night. Come on.
421
00:20:38,488 --> 00:20:41,407
Nice wine, nice lunch, nice girl.
422
00:20:41,699 --> 00:20:43,201
Nice day.
423
00:20:43,701 --> 00:20:45,286
That seems to cover everything.
424
00:20:45,578 --> 00:20:47,080
What's so special about today?
425
00:20:47,580 --> 00:20:49,457
I don't know. Days are like people.
426
00:20:49,749 --> 00:20:51,334
They have a kind of personality
of their own.
427
00:20:51,626 --> 00:20:53,461
Take today, for instance. I like today.
428
00:20:54,295 --> 00:20:55,046
Any reason?
429
00:20:55,338 --> 00:20:57,215
I got a hunch it's liable to be
lucky for me.
430
00:20:58,132 --> 00:20:59,968
Yep, I think today's my lucky day.
431
00:21:00,260 --> 00:21:01,177
Excuse me.
432
00:21:01,469 --> 00:21:03,221
Mr. Granger, something's gone sour
at the track.
433
00:21:03,513 --> 00:21:05,390
The wires have gone dead.
Every book in town's been calling.
434
00:21:05,682 --> 00:21:07,433
Even I can't get through.
The phones are swamped.
435
00:21:07,725 --> 00:21:09,644
I've been afraid of something like this.
436
00:21:09,936 --> 00:21:11,980
I think things will just have to
work themselves out.
437
00:21:12,272 --> 00:21:13,648
But, Mr. Granger...
- You heard me.
438
00:21:16,651 --> 00:21:20,029
This wouldn't have anything to do with
being your lucky day, would it?
439
00:21:20,321 --> 00:21:22,198
Like arranging to have Pop picked up?
440
00:21:22,865 --> 00:21:24,784
Why would I want to do
anything like that?
441
00:21:25,660 --> 00:21:27,287
You say the FCC picked him up?
442
00:21:28,538 --> 00:21:30,331
Well, hold everything.
I'll get Granger right on it.
443
00:21:30,623 --> 00:21:32,292
He's got another way of
handling the track.
444
00:21:34,210 --> 00:21:35,878
Where's Mal?
445
00:21:36,170 --> 00:21:37,463
He took Trudy to lunch
over at the Blue Boar.
446
00:21:37,755 --> 00:21:39,215
Get him on the phone right away.
- Yes, sir.
447
00:21:39,507 --> 00:21:41,259
Wire's down.
448
00:21:41,551 --> 00:21:43,428
Wire trouble. Keep it closed.
449
00:21:45,471 --> 00:21:46,764
Rocco?
450
00:21:47,056 --> 00:21:48,224
Put Granger on.
451
00:21:48,641 --> 00:21:49,934
Wire trouble...
452
00:21:51,477 --> 00:21:54,272
Mal, what kind of an outfit you think
I'm running around here anyhow?
453
00:21:54,564 --> 00:21:55,898
Get over here. We're in trouble.
454
00:21:59,819 --> 00:22:02,071
You'd like it better
if I came there, huh?
455
00:22:02,363 --> 00:22:03,740
Why, for two cents I'd...
456
00:22:05,658 --> 00:22:08,494
All right. I'll be right over.
Wait in Rocco's office for me.
457
00:22:14,292 --> 00:22:16,127
Well, get it up. We've got a lot
of work to do.
458
00:22:16,419 --> 00:22:18,296
You've got to get a man out to the track
with that new equipment.
459
00:22:18,588 --> 00:22:19,589
They knocked off Pop today.
460
00:22:19,881 --> 00:22:21,174
You can quit shouting, Vince.
I heard you.
461
00:22:21,466 --> 00:22:22,759
But maybe you didn't hear me right.
462
00:22:23,551 --> 00:22:25,720
I'm not taking the new stuff
out to the track.
463
00:22:26,304 --> 00:22:27,972
So that's the way it is, huh?
464
00:22:28,473 --> 00:22:30,266
Okay, I'll get somebody else
to take it out.
465
00:22:30,558 --> 00:22:32,977
Not with my equipment, you won't.
I've already taken it out of the shop.
466
00:22:33,269 --> 00:22:36,814
I know it was your money but it was my
brains that made you that dough.
467
00:22:37,106 --> 00:22:39,275
You think you can hijack me
468
00:22:39,567 --> 00:22:41,027
just because I gave a telephone
company sucker a break?
469
00:22:41,319 --> 00:22:41,903
Get smart, Vince.
470
00:22:42,195 --> 00:22:43,780
Ever since I hooked up your outfit
all over the state,
471
00:22:44,072 --> 00:22:45,365
you've been rolling in cabbage
and I know it.
472
00:22:45,656 --> 00:22:47,408
Your take is five times what it was.
473
00:22:47,700 --> 00:22:49,577
But to keep it that way,
you gotta keep me.
474
00:22:53,164 --> 00:22:54,540
And if I don't?
475
00:22:54,832 --> 00:22:57,543
I've handled guys like you before.
You better think that over.
476
00:22:57,835 --> 00:22:58,544
I don't have to.
477
00:22:58,836 --> 00:23:00,922
You never got rid of anything or anybody
that could make you a buck.
478
00:23:01,214 --> 00:23:03,841
With that new equipment,
I can get a lot of guys to finance me.
479
00:23:04,133 --> 00:23:06,094
Your books are gonna be looking around
for a new service.
480
00:23:06,386 --> 00:23:08,554
So, as of right now,
you're out of business.
481
00:23:10,223 --> 00:23:11,432
What do you want?
482
00:23:11,724 --> 00:23:13,476
Twenty percent of your take
from everything.
483
00:23:13,768 --> 00:23:15,103
That still leaves you 80%.
484
00:23:15,395 --> 00:23:17,105
That's better than 100% of nothing.
485
00:23:22,860 --> 00:23:24,028
Okay.
486
00:23:24,570 --> 00:23:25,530
Thanks.
487
00:23:29,700 --> 00:23:31,077
Hello, Syd? Mal.
488
00:23:31,369 --> 00:23:33,538
You know that new show
down at the Biltmore?
489
00:23:33,830 --> 00:23:34,580
Yeah.
490
00:23:34,872 --> 00:23:36,791
Any chance you can get me a couple
for tonight up front?
491
00:23:37,083 --> 00:23:37,917
You can?
492
00:23:38,209 --> 00:23:39,627
That's swell, thanks.
493
00:23:40,586 --> 00:23:41,921
Nice guy, that Syd.
494
00:23:43,214 --> 00:23:45,883
During the next three months,
the gangster squad knocked off
495
00:23:46,175 --> 00:23:47,635
all the bookies it could find.
496
00:23:47,927 --> 00:23:50,054
But they popped up like rats
in another hole.
497
00:23:50,346 --> 00:23:52,974
By then, I knew the only way
to drive them out of business
498
00:23:53,558 --> 00:23:55,393
was to crack down on the
Tri-State Wire Service.
499
00:23:55,685 --> 00:23:57,603
But so far, they were within the law.
500
00:23:57,895 --> 00:23:59,230
One thing I was certain of
501
00:23:59,522 --> 00:24:02,066
The bookmakers were paying off
to the service at a drive-in.
502
00:24:02,358 --> 00:24:04,110
We had these small fry marked for arrest
503
00:24:04,402 --> 00:24:06,279
but it was the big shots we were after.
504
00:24:06,821 --> 00:24:09,532
I staked out the place for a few days
looking the boys over.
505
00:24:09,824 --> 00:24:13,119
And I found that Mal Granger was
beginning to throw his weight around.
506
00:24:14,412 --> 00:24:15,913
Lemon.
- Yeah.
507
00:24:16,205 --> 00:24:17,039
Apple?
508
00:24:17,623 --> 00:24:19,542
Hello, Red.
509
00:24:20,042 --> 00:24:21,752
Things are going all right
with you guys, huh?
510
00:24:22,044 --> 00:24:24,005
Stick with us and every night
will be Saturday night.
511
00:24:24,297 --> 00:24:26,424
So long, fellas.
- Right.
512
00:24:27,300 --> 00:24:30,136
We couldn't make it any faster
if printed it ourselves.
513
00:24:30,428 --> 00:24:32,472
You picked a winner the day
you tied up with me, Chippie.
514
00:24:32,763 --> 00:24:33,639
You said it.
515
00:24:33,931 --> 00:24:35,558
Just think of you wasting your time
with the telephone company
516
00:24:35,850 --> 00:24:37,602
and me fooling around with two-bit book.
517
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:45,485
Where is it?
518
00:24:48,404 --> 00:24:49,655
It's kind of light.
519
00:24:49,947 --> 00:24:51,741
They hit me again yesterday, Mal.
Two grand.
520
00:24:52,033 --> 00:24:53,242
I had to pay off right then, or else.
521
00:24:53,534 --> 00:24:54,577
That's your tough luck.
522
00:24:54,869 --> 00:24:56,996
You better have the rest of
what you owe Walters in here.
523
00:24:57,288 --> 00:24:58,289
Plus the interest.
524
00:24:58,581 --> 00:24:59,916
Do you think I like owing him money?
525
00:25:00,208 --> 00:25:01,959
I'll try to make the rest of it
next week.
526
00:25:02,251 --> 00:25:03,294
No soap, Weiss.
527
00:25:03,586 --> 00:25:06,172
You get it up by 3 this afternoon
or you're out of business.
528
00:25:07,423 --> 00:25:09,300
Walters will be waiting for you
at the office.
529
00:25:16,098 --> 00:25:18,226
I want the dough, Weiss,
and I want it now.
530
00:25:18,518 --> 00:25:20,728
You've had five months
and you still haven't paid off.
531
00:25:21,312 --> 00:25:23,940
I've done the best I could.
But at 10% interest I...
532
00:25:24,232 --> 00:25:26,108
I've only got a little book,
Mr. Walters.
533
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:27,735
You haven't got that now.
534
00:25:28,027 --> 00:25:29,153
You're through, Weiss.
535
00:25:29,779 --> 00:25:31,197
You can't do that.
536
00:25:31,489 --> 00:25:33,908
I got a wife, two kids.
I gotta keep going.
537
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,077
You can't do that!
538
00:25:36,494 --> 00:25:38,579
Why don't you watch what you're doing?
539
00:25:42,875 --> 00:25:44,794
A wife and two kids, huh, Weiss?
540
00:25:45,503 --> 00:25:48,798
There are a couple of boys in town
I might speak to about them.
541
00:25:49,090 --> 00:25:52,510
How would you like to have the wife
and two kids worked over, Weiss?
542
00:25:53,344 --> 00:25:54,720
You can't do that.
543
00:25:55,304 --> 00:25:56,305
I won't let you.
544
00:25:56,931 --> 00:25:58,140
I won't let anyone.
545
00:26:04,855 --> 00:26:06,607
He got right past me. Went right...
546
00:26:07,191 --> 00:26:08,901
Somebody better call an ambulance.
547
00:26:12,238 --> 00:26:13,906
He won't need an ambulance.
548
00:26:18,661 --> 00:26:22,415
Weiss was found as suicide in his car
on Kingsley Road, Granger.
549
00:26:22,707 --> 00:26:24,375
Maybe that's why you don't want to talk.
550
00:26:24,792 --> 00:26:26,794
Can I help it
if Weiss bumped himself off?
551
00:26:27,086 --> 00:26:28,838
I told you he was crazy
when he was in the office.
552
00:26:29,130 --> 00:26:30,047
He even took a shot at me.
553
00:26:30,339 --> 00:26:31,299
Why did he come to your office?
554
00:26:32,091 --> 00:26:33,884
He wanted to see Walters about a loan.
555
00:26:34,176 --> 00:26:36,220
He said his book had been hit
and he needed some money.
556
00:26:36,512 --> 00:26:39,307
From what his wife tells us,
you were already bleeding him.
557
00:26:39,599 --> 00:26:41,058
He'd been paying Walters off for months.
558
00:26:41,350 --> 00:26:44,186
I don't know anything about that.
I just work there.
559
00:26:44,478 --> 00:26:46,355
What's the gangster squad
have on Granger?
560
00:26:46,647 --> 00:26:47,565
Not too much.
561
00:26:47,857 --> 00:26:50,568
The word's around town that he owns
a piece of Tri-State himself.
562
00:26:51,569 --> 00:26:54,405
We saw you talking to Weiss this morning
at the drive-in stand.
563
00:26:54,697 --> 00:26:55,573
What is that about?
564
00:26:55,865 --> 00:26:56,407
Nothing.
565
00:26:56,699 --> 00:26:58,409
He just asked me
when he could see Walters.
566
00:26:59,035 --> 00:27:00,578
That's all for now, Granger.
567
00:27:00,870 --> 00:27:02,330
If I want you again, I'll call you.
568
00:27:19,347 --> 00:27:20,640
Granger.
569
00:27:21,766 --> 00:27:24,852
With Walters gone, it looks like you're
going to be Mr. Big over at Tri-State.
570
00:27:25,144 --> 00:27:26,687
If you're smart, you'll get out now.
571
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,398
You know, they all end up like Walters.
572
00:28:22,159 --> 00:28:24,745
Quite an improvement for a guy who
didn't even have a change of overalls.
573
00:28:25,037 --> 00:28:25,871
Yeah, you like them?
574
00:28:26,163 --> 00:28:27,456
All depends on
what you're going to put inside them.
575
00:28:27,748 --> 00:28:28,833
What kind of crack is that?
576
00:28:29,125 --> 00:28:30,876
I just wonder if you're the same guy
I used to know.
577
00:28:31,168 --> 00:28:33,421
Just the same except for money
in my pockets instead of wire,
578
00:28:33,713 --> 00:28:34,922
tailored suits instead of overalls.
579
00:28:35,214 --> 00:28:37,133
I hope you and your wardrobe
will be very happy.
580
00:28:37,425 --> 00:28:40,302
On the way out, tell the cook to send me
some orange juice and coffee.
581
00:28:40,594 --> 00:28:41,804
Yes, master.
582
00:28:42,096 --> 00:28:45,599
Have you an appointment? Mr. Granger's
only seeing bankers these days.
583
00:28:46,851 --> 00:28:48,227
What's eating her?
584
00:28:48,519 --> 00:28:50,646
I used to think you two cooked up
a little deal between you.
585
00:28:51,063 --> 00:28:52,857
Trudy's pretty sold on you.
586
00:28:53,149 --> 00:28:54,275
I know, but that's not for me.
587
00:28:54,567 --> 00:28:55,818
Some guys were meant to be single.
588
00:28:56,110 --> 00:28:57,528
I hope I never fall in love, Chippie.
589
00:28:57,820 --> 00:28:59,029
It's only asking for trouble.
590
00:28:59,321 --> 00:29:01,407
That love business is
strictly storybook stuff.
591
00:29:01,699 --> 00:29:03,576
What I got to tell you
ain't no storybook stuff.
592
00:29:04,076 --> 00:29:06,370
The bookies are screaming about you
hiking the price of the service.
593
00:29:06,662 --> 00:29:07,747
They say you're murdering them.
594
00:29:08,038 --> 00:29:08,914
They can afford it.
595
00:29:09,206 --> 00:29:10,583
They gotta deal with me
or they're out of business.
596
00:29:10,875 --> 00:29:12,585
Why should I give those guys
a free ride?
597
00:29:14,044 --> 00:29:15,796
I ain't forgetting what you done for me.
598
00:29:16,088 --> 00:29:17,465
But somebody's gotta tell you.
599
00:29:17,757 --> 00:29:20,259
Maybe you're getting a little too
successful for your own good.
600
00:29:20,551 --> 00:29:23,053
Right now, you've got all of California
tied up and everybody knows it.
601
00:29:23,345 --> 00:29:26,432
Get too big and those big guys back east
move in. You know what that means.
602
00:29:26,724 --> 00:29:28,934
Relax, will you? I'll do the worrying
for this outfit.
603
00:29:29,518 --> 00:29:31,479
Maybe that's one thing
you never thought of...
604
00:29:31,771 --> 00:29:33,522
Maybe I'm big enough for the big boys.
605
00:29:34,356 --> 00:29:35,858
Mal didn't know it.
606
00:29:36,150 --> 00:29:38,903
But the national syndicate was already
eyeing his operation.
607
00:29:39,195 --> 00:29:41,781
Their headquarters was in
an office building in Cleveland.
608
00:29:42,072 --> 00:29:43,991
They had impressive offices
and they should.
609
00:29:44,283 --> 00:29:49,205
Last year, more than $8 billion was bet
with bookmakers in this country.
610
00:29:49,497 --> 00:29:53,501
More than the combined earnings
of 25 of our largest corporations.
611
00:29:53,793 --> 00:29:58,130
And the National Wire Service got
a big slice of that $8 billion racket.
612
00:30:01,634 --> 00:30:03,052
Ghastly stuff.
613
00:30:03,803 --> 00:30:07,431
If I hadn't picked up this duodenal
worrying about our affairs,
614
00:30:08,182 --> 00:30:10,518
I'd be able to eat like a man
instead of a kitten.
615
00:30:11,393 --> 00:30:13,312
What about Jake Miller?
616
00:30:13,604 --> 00:30:15,356
Anyone looked over the Florida accounts?
617
00:30:15,648 --> 00:30:16,398
I have.
618
00:30:16,690 --> 00:30:18,025
He was socking down on us all right.
619
00:30:18,317 --> 00:30:21,195
Took us for $43,000 entering bets
on winners for himself.
620
00:30:21,779 --> 00:30:23,697
That's bad, very bad.
621
00:30:24,114 --> 00:30:26,033
The man can't trust his own clients.
622
00:30:27,034 --> 00:30:28,244
How long has he been with us?
623
00:30:28,536 --> 00:30:30,329
Five, six years.
624
00:30:30,621 --> 00:30:33,290
He's been screaming ever since we cut
ourselves in for part of his book.
625
00:30:33,874 --> 00:30:35,251
That's unfortunate.
626
00:30:35,543 --> 00:30:38,087
Particularly so if word
got around that he
627
00:30:38,379 --> 00:30:40,756
took this money without any retaliation.
628
00:30:41,382 --> 00:30:44,176
Some of the other bookies
might get the same idea.
629
00:30:45,219 --> 00:30:46,303
Are we agreed?
630
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,473
All right, Steve, I'll leave it to you.
631
00:30:49,765 --> 00:30:51,267
You know some people
in Miami, don't you?
632
00:30:51,559 --> 00:30:52,643
What does he get?
633
00:30:54,353 --> 00:30:56,355
I think he's a very sick man.
634
00:30:57,314 --> 00:30:59,233
I don't believe he'll ever get well.
635
00:31:00,192 --> 00:31:01,735
I'll see that he doesn't.
636
00:31:02,278 --> 00:31:04,864
About California, Carl, I have
the data on Granger.
637
00:31:05,155 --> 00:31:06,907
Walters was knocked off
about a year ago.
638
00:31:07,199 --> 00:31:08,784
Granger took over the Tri-State service.
639
00:31:09,076 --> 00:31:11,412
This year, he'll clear
about a million two.
640
00:31:11,704 --> 00:31:14,957
That isn't so much. I though the whole
state was dancing to his tune.
641
00:31:15,249 --> 00:31:16,750
It is but this is piker stuff.
642
00:31:17,042 --> 00:31:19,211
This is just the take from
the wire service alone.
643
00:31:19,503 --> 00:31:20,462
If we were to move in on him,
644
00:31:20,754 --> 00:31:21,797
set up a whole operation.
645
00:31:22,089 --> 00:31:23,591
That would be a nice venture.
646
00:31:24,133 --> 00:31:26,969
I've always thought we should do
something about the Pacific coast.
647
00:31:27,595 --> 00:31:31,599
It's ridiculous that this syndicate
has never gone past Kansas City.
648
00:31:32,266 --> 00:31:33,434
What would you suggest?
649
00:31:33,726 --> 00:31:35,227
Let me look Granger up.
650
00:31:35,519 --> 00:31:38,397
Nothing too exciting. Just a little
suggestion he might find it more
651
00:31:38,689 --> 00:31:40,900
profitable to come in with us.
That sort of thing.
652
00:31:41,191 --> 00:31:42,610
Very good.
653
00:31:43,277 --> 00:31:45,654
But I've already had Granger looked up.
654
00:31:46,780 --> 00:31:48,991
I'm sure you'll show him
that in the long run
655
00:31:49,283 --> 00:31:51,493
no one man has ever been able to keep
656
00:31:52,077 --> 00:31:56,081
the wire service
as a personal enterprise.
657
00:31:57,166 --> 00:31:59,001
By the way, I uh...
658
00:31:59,293 --> 00:32:01,712
I'm leaving for Palm Springs
myself next week.
659
00:32:02,671 --> 00:32:06,258
Why don't you go down ahead
and look Granger over?
660
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,260
And Larry...
661
00:32:09,345 --> 00:32:10,763
Take the wife along.
662
00:32:11,597 --> 00:32:14,099
She might like southern California.
663
00:32:21,482 --> 00:32:23,359
How long have you been here?
664
00:32:23,651 --> 00:32:25,027
About two hours.
665
00:32:26,695 --> 00:32:29,406
Why do you suppose I've been sitting
with you that long?
666
00:32:29,990 --> 00:32:32,493
Maybe because you sort of like me?
667
00:32:32,785 --> 00:32:34,328
And I kind of like you.
668
00:32:34,620 --> 00:32:37,498
That's what you think, is it?
Well, I'll tell you the truth.
669
00:32:39,208 --> 00:32:41,460
All day I've been feeling like a rat.
670
00:32:42,294 --> 00:32:45,130
For a long time I've been feeling
like a rat.
671
00:32:45,589 --> 00:32:49,718
This afternoon I felt like talking to
someone who spoke my own language.
672
00:32:50,302 --> 00:32:51,220
And that's you.
673
00:32:52,346 --> 00:32:53,722
A great, big,
674
00:32:54,139 --> 00:32:55,557
good looking rat.
675
00:32:55,849 --> 00:32:57,434
You need another drink?
676
00:32:57,726 --> 00:32:58,686
Who doesn't?
677
00:33:01,063 --> 00:33:03,399
You're going to get a great shock
when my husband shows up.
678
00:33:04,191 --> 00:33:06,193
He's even a bigger rat than you are.
679
00:33:06,485 --> 00:33:07,444
You're a little tight.
680
00:33:07,736 --> 00:33:08,904
But very sweet.
681
00:33:09,530 --> 00:33:11,073
And you haven't got a husband.
682
00:33:11,365 --> 00:33:13,242
Hasn't she?
- Darling.
683
00:33:14,034 --> 00:33:15,953
This is my husband, Mr...
684
00:33:16,829 --> 00:33:18,372
I'm sorry, I...
685
00:33:19,081 --> 00:33:20,249
I didn't get the name.
686
00:33:20,541 --> 00:33:21,458
You never do.
687
00:33:21,750 --> 00:33:24,086
Well, if you'll excuse me.
688
00:33:25,504 --> 00:33:27,423
You ought to pick them a little tougher.
689
00:33:28,132 --> 00:33:29,508
The one I have is tough enough.
690
00:33:30,467 --> 00:33:31,927
How did the meeting go?
691
00:33:32,219 --> 00:33:33,512
Is Carl still living on milk?
692
00:33:33,804 --> 00:33:34,763
Carl's all right.
693
00:33:35,347 --> 00:33:37,433
Maybe he sees a lot of things I don't.
694
00:33:38,892 --> 00:33:41,061
How would you like a little trip
to the coast, baby?
695
00:33:41,353 --> 00:33:42,271
I'd love it.
696
00:33:43,147 --> 00:33:44,773
I've always wanted to live
in Beverly Hills.
697
00:34:05,669 --> 00:34:08,172
Hello, Tim. What's the matter?
You still look down in the dumps.
698
00:34:08,464 --> 00:34:10,924
And for good reason. Things ain't so
good with some of us boys
699
00:34:11,216 --> 00:34:13,052
since you upped the prices.
700
00:34:13,343 --> 00:34:15,763
Come on, Tim, you're doing fine.
You can afford it.
701
00:34:20,476 --> 00:34:22,686
They tell me you're Mal Granger.
I'm Larry Mason.
702
00:34:22,978 --> 00:34:23,729
Could I have a word with you?
703
00:34:24,021 --> 00:34:24,730
What are you doing way out here?
704
00:34:25,022 --> 00:34:26,732
Came to see a ball game.
- Hope you enjoy it.
705
00:34:27,024 --> 00:34:30,110
I also had another reason for coming.
I thought you and I could have a talk.
706
00:34:30,402 --> 00:34:32,112
That's a long way to come
without being sure.
707
00:34:32,404 --> 00:34:33,155
You should have written me first.
708
00:34:33,447 --> 00:34:34,323
The mail belongs to the government.
709
00:34:34,615 --> 00:34:36,366
I don't trust much of my business
with the government.
710
00:34:36,658 --> 00:34:38,202
How about watching the game with me?
711
00:34:38,494 --> 00:34:39,411
Sorry, I got some people inside
waiting for me.
712
00:34:39,703 --> 00:34:40,829
How about after the game?
- I got a date.
713
00:34:41,121 --> 00:34:42,790
What have you got against
talking things over?
714
00:34:43,082 --> 00:34:45,084
Nothing except I already know
what you're going to talk about.
715
00:34:45,375 --> 00:34:46,543
Oh, I'm so sorry.
- That's all right.
716
00:34:46,835 --> 00:34:47,503
Well, are we going?
717
00:34:47,795 --> 00:34:49,671
Gail, this is Mal Granger. My wife.
718
00:34:50,089 --> 00:34:51,340
Hello.
- Well, hello.
719
00:34:51,632 --> 00:34:53,175
Sure you won't change your mind
about joining us?
720
00:34:53,467 --> 00:34:56,136
She's very pretty but I already told you
I got people inside waiting.
721
00:34:56,428 --> 00:34:58,180
What about cocktails tomorrow
at my place?
722
00:34:58,597 --> 00:35:00,557
I'm not too far from poverty
to accept a free drink.
723
00:35:00,849 --> 00:35:02,643
All right, 7 o'clock. I'll give you
the address.
724
00:35:02,935 --> 00:35:05,312
Don't bother. I knew when you
got in town and where you're living.
725
00:35:05,604 --> 00:35:06,438
I'll see you tomorrow.
726
00:35:06,730 --> 00:35:07,564
Oh uh...
727
00:35:07,856 --> 00:35:09,733
Nice meeting you, Mrs. Mason.
- Thank you.
728
00:35:40,305 --> 00:35:42,099
Nice layout you got here, Larry.
729
00:35:42,391 --> 00:35:43,600
You must be figuring on staying.
730
00:35:43,892 --> 00:35:46,145
Been thinking of going
into business out here.
731
00:35:46,436 --> 00:35:48,188
Win anything on the game last night?
732
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:49,773
I don't gamble anymore.
733
00:35:50,482 --> 00:35:52,192
Why should you when you've already got
a sure thing?
734
00:35:52,484 --> 00:35:54,987
While I'm here, I'd like to look over
that setup of yours.
735
00:35:55,279 --> 00:35:58,115
I hear that for an independent operation
it's right up to the minute.
736
00:35:58,407 --> 00:36:00,742
For a guy that's only been in town for
a couple of days, you've heard a lot.
737
00:36:01,034 --> 00:36:03,203
Thanks, I don't show it anymore.
It's top secret.
738
00:36:03,495 --> 00:36:05,080
No reason why it should be, is there?
739
00:36:05,372 --> 00:36:08,500
After all, I'm in the same business.
We might compare methods.
740
00:36:09,418 --> 00:36:12,588
As a matter of fact, I might even have
a proposition for you.
741
00:36:13,088 --> 00:36:16,675
Thanks, I'm not in the market
for any propositions right now.
742
00:36:17,342 --> 00:36:19,011
I like things the way they are.
743
00:36:19,303 --> 00:36:21,263
A man never lost any money
just listening.
744
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,100
Could make him a wad of dough and save
him a lot of trouble at the same time.
745
00:36:25,392 --> 00:36:28,020
If you don't come in with us, you might
run into some other outfit
746
00:36:28,312 --> 00:36:29,605
that wouldn't be so cooperative.
747
00:36:29,897 --> 00:36:30,480
Really?
748
00:36:30,772 --> 00:36:33,817
I thought your syndicate was the only
one big enough to operate on that scale.
749
00:36:34,109 --> 00:36:35,569
But you're wasting your time.
750
00:36:35,861 --> 00:36:37,613
If you wanted to talk business,
751
00:36:37,905 --> 00:36:39,281
you should have sent Carl Stevens.
752
00:36:39,573 --> 00:36:41,033
I only deal with the top man.
753
00:36:41,325 --> 00:36:43,619
I'm not exactly an office boy myself.
754
00:36:43,911 --> 00:36:45,078
But if that's the way you feel.
755
00:36:45,370 --> 00:36:46,830
Must you two talk business all evening?
756
00:36:47,122 --> 00:36:48,874
Tell me about Palm Springs.
757
00:36:49,166 --> 00:36:51,043
Larry and I are going down there
this weekend.
758
00:36:51,585 --> 00:36:53,795
There isn't much doing there
now that the season's over.
759
00:36:54,087 --> 00:36:55,505
But if you want a lot of rest
and some sun.
760
00:36:55,797 --> 00:36:56,548
Not too much rest.
761
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,508
I like to keep moving, don't I, Larry?
762
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,677
It's all we've been doing
since we were married.
763
00:37:01,261 --> 00:37:03,096
Don't have a chance to think
too much then.
764
00:37:04,181 --> 00:37:08,143
Maybe that's why she keeps me broke
buying clothes. Just something to do.
765
00:37:09,353 --> 00:37:10,979
Carl's down at Palm Springs right now.
766
00:37:11,271 --> 00:37:13,023
Why don't you come down with us
this weekend and meet him?
767
00:37:13,315 --> 00:37:15,067
Perhaps Mr. Granger wouldn't like it.
768
00:37:16,109 --> 00:37:19,238
With the season over, he might not find
anything interesting to do.
769
00:37:19,529 --> 00:37:21,782
I don't know. I think I might find it
very interesting.
770
00:37:22,699 --> 00:37:24,117
Things have got a little dull
around here anyhow.
771
00:37:24,409 --> 00:37:25,744
Maybe I'll take you up on that.
772
00:37:32,292 --> 00:37:33,961
Sure you won't have something, Gail?
773
00:37:34,253 --> 00:37:35,754
Nothing right now, thanks.
774
00:37:37,172 --> 00:37:38,548
More medicine.
775
00:37:40,592 --> 00:37:43,053
I don't know how you two
can just eat like that.
776
00:37:43,345 --> 00:37:45,597
I've taken the very best care of myself.
777
00:37:46,056 --> 00:37:47,266
And that's my reward.
778
00:37:47,849 --> 00:37:49,893
I haven't had a decent night's sleep
since I got here.
779
00:37:50,185 --> 00:37:51,937
Maybe you're taking on
too much business, Carl.
780
00:37:52,229 --> 00:37:53,397
You ought to take it easy, relax.
781
00:37:53,689 --> 00:37:55,565
We're always geared
to take on more business.
782
00:37:55,857 --> 00:37:56,858
Oh now, Larry.
783
00:37:57,150 --> 00:38:00,362
Mal has every reason to wonder
at our sudden interest in him.
784
00:38:03,282 --> 00:38:05,200
Haven't you, Mal?
- Hm?
785
00:38:05,784 --> 00:38:07,786
It is attractive here, isn't it?
786
00:38:08,078 --> 00:38:09,162
Yeah.
787
00:38:09,454 --> 00:38:11,957
You should think about going in with us.
788
00:38:12,249 --> 00:38:13,750
We don't want to move in on you.
789
00:38:14,042 --> 00:38:15,460
We want to cut you in as a full partner.
790
00:38:16,044 --> 00:38:17,963
I'm not interested in
getting any bigger, thanks.
791
00:38:18,255 --> 00:38:19,464
I like things the way they are.
792
00:38:19,756 --> 00:38:21,633
But you might run into trouble
at any minute.
793
00:38:22,718 --> 00:38:23,844
We're prepared to handle that for you.
794
00:38:24,469 --> 00:38:28,265
Like the law or some undesirable element
wanting to cut in.
795
00:38:28,849 --> 00:38:30,017
We can handle that.
796
00:38:30,309 --> 00:38:32,394
Give you and the service
full protection.
797
00:38:32,686 --> 00:38:34,354
I haven't had any trouble so far.
798
00:38:34,646 --> 00:38:36,606
But if it comes,
I think I can handle it.
799
00:38:36,898 --> 00:38:38,775
It's more than giving you
just protection.
800
00:38:39,359 --> 00:38:42,738
It's cutting you in on profits
you never dreamed of.
801
00:38:43,155 --> 00:38:45,282
Suppose something went sour
here on the coast.
802
00:38:45,574 --> 00:38:48,118
You'd be getting a share
from our other outlets.
803
00:38:49,244 --> 00:38:52,247
You might well call it an annuity.
804
00:38:55,375 --> 00:38:56,793
What is your offer anyway?
805
00:38:57,085 --> 00:38:58,545
A very handsome one.
806
00:38:59,755 --> 00:39:03,633
You would still retain
a half interest in Tri-State.
807
00:39:04,217 --> 00:39:07,888
And also receive a fair share of our
profits throughout the country.
808
00:39:08,180 --> 00:39:10,766
If you have an attorney
you'd care to consult...
809
00:39:11,767 --> 00:39:13,727
Thanks, I'm my own attorney.
810
00:39:14,019 --> 00:39:15,145
I'll think about it.
811
00:39:26,323 --> 00:39:27,783
I'm gonna get cleaned up.
812
00:39:28,075 --> 00:39:29,076
I'll see you.
813
00:39:32,329 --> 00:39:34,247
I wouldn't be too hasty.
814
00:39:34,998 --> 00:39:37,292
Things are working out
exactly as I planned.
815
00:39:39,336 --> 00:39:40,670
That's plenty, Mac.
816
00:39:40,962 --> 00:39:41,755
Yes, sir.
817
00:39:42,047 --> 00:39:45,092
Here you are. Keep the change.
- Thank you, sir.
818
00:39:58,647 --> 00:40:01,608
A girl could get awfully drunk
looking in every bar around town for you
819
00:40:02,275 --> 00:40:03,735
Anything wrong with that?
820
00:40:05,695 --> 00:40:07,197
Is it all right if I sit down?
821
00:40:07,489 --> 00:40:08,407
Why not?
822
00:40:10,158 --> 00:40:11,118
Have a drink?
823
00:40:11,410 --> 00:40:12,911
I'll have a double.
824
00:40:13,370 --> 00:40:14,371
Double what?
825
00:40:15,247 --> 00:40:16,581
Double yours.
826
00:40:16,873 --> 00:40:18,667
Hey, Mac.
- Yes, sir?
827
00:40:19,209 --> 00:40:20,752
Do it twice.
- Okay.
828
00:40:21,795 --> 00:40:23,088
You must like this stuff.
829
00:40:23,672 --> 00:40:25,006
No, not especially.
830
00:40:25,590 --> 00:40:27,759
I like what I see
in the bottom of the glass.
831
00:40:29,010 --> 00:40:30,679
Getting away from it all, huh?
832
00:40:32,389 --> 00:40:34,099
Just from myself.
833
00:40:37,436 --> 00:40:38,478
Let's dance.
834
00:40:40,272 --> 00:40:41,314
Sure.
835
00:41:13,305 --> 00:41:15,223
The boys seem pretty certain of me.
836
00:41:16,433 --> 00:41:18,059
They decided long ago.
837
00:41:18,351 --> 00:41:19,519
What about you?
838
00:41:20,437 --> 00:41:22,564
You could have saved yourself
a lot of trouble.
839
00:41:23,148 --> 00:41:25,192
I've already decided to go in with them.
840
00:41:25,484 --> 00:41:26,735
How could that save me trouble?
841
00:41:27,027 --> 00:41:28,695
This is all part
of the buildup, isn't it?
842
00:41:28,987 --> 00:41:31,406
Beautiful girl, soft music, hard drinks.
843
00:41:31,698 --> 00:41:32,491
Oh, sure.
844
00:41:33,074 --> 00:41:35,535
I'm the prize you win if you throw
the ring over the right peg.
845
00:41:35,827 --> 00:41:36,745
Yeah?
846
00:41:37,287 --> 00:41:40,081
I don't know if I can afford to buy
a chance. Or are you giving them away?
847
00:41:53,512 --> 00:41:55,430
Gail, wait a minute.
848
00:41:56,765 --> 00:41:58,683
I was out of line.
849
00:41:59,267 --> 00:42:01,186
Gail, please.
850
00:42:01,645 --> 00:42:03,021
I had you figured all wrong.
851
00:42:03,313 --> 00:42:04,189
I'm sorry.
852
00:42:06,816 --> 00:42:08,235
We all make mistakes.
853
00:42:09,194 --> 00:42:11,446
Anyway, I did tell you that I'd gone out
looking for you.
854
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,157
And there is a guy named Larry.
855
00:42:14,658 --> 00:42:16,576
Let's call that my mistake.
856
00:42:18,245 --> 00:42:19,371
My big one.
857
00:42:20,997 --> 00:42:22,415
You know,
858
00:42:22,707 --> 00:42:24,167
You don't look as though you...
859
00:42:26,127 --> 00:42:27,212
Well as though you...
860
00:42:27,504 --> 00:42:29,297
Belong to a big shot in the syndicate?
861
00:42:29,714 --> 00:42:30,757
Yeah.
862
00:42:31,633 --> 00:42:33,176
What do I look like?
863
00:42:33,468 --> 00:42:36,388
Like someone who went to
one of those smart girl's schools.
864
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:38,557
You know, belong to the
country club set.
865
00:42:38,848 --> 00:42:39,599
I did.
866
00:42:41,101 --> 00:42:42,644
Until I met Larry.
867
00:42:43,687 --> 00:42:46,439
Innocent young girl taken in
by smooth talking stranger?
868
00:42:46,731 --> 00:42:48,608
No, I knew all about him.
869
00:42:49,109 --> 00:42:51,278
But you see, I'd never know anyone
like him before.
870
00:42:52,612 --> 00:42:55,991
Probably would have gotten over it if
my family hadn't raised such a fuss.
871
00:42:59,327 --> 00:43:00,954
Is this really important to you?
872
00:43:03,331 --> 00:43:04,791
You're important to me.
873
00:43:20,348 --> 00:43:22,267
Come on.
874
00:43:54,674 --> 00:43:56,092
Hi, Pete.
875
00:43:56,384 --> 00:43:58,386
What do you know, George?
- Nothing much, Tim.
876
00:43:58,678 --> 00:43:59,512
Say Tim, what's this all about?
877
00:43:59,804 --> 00:44:00,930
I don't know but I don't like it.
878
00:44:01,222 --> 00:44:02,891
Why should Granger bring all the
bookies together
879
00:44:03,183 --> 00:44:04,851
unless he's going to slip us
some more bad news?
880
00:44:05,143 --> 00:44:08,438
He picked a good place for it all right.
A gas works yet.
881
00:44:19,866 --> 00:44:23,453
Sorry to be late, men, but I got tied up
in a meeting with my new partners.
882
00:44:24,913 --> 00:44:25,830
That's right.
883
00:44:26,122 --> 00:44:28,124
That's why I called this
meeting here today.
884
00:44:28,416 --> 00:44:30,126
Right in the same gas house
where Vince Walters
885
00:44:30,418 --> 00:44:32,295
first organized the Tri-State
Wire Service.
886
00:44:32,587 --> 00:44:35,799
We've all come a long way since then
and we're going to go a lot further.
887
00:44:36,341 --> 00:44:38,677
I just made a deal with the National
Press Service.
888
00:44:41,846 --> 00:44:43,390
How do you like that?
889
00:44:43,682 --> 00:44:45,600
...right in the neck.
- That's right, the big boys.
890
00:44:45,892 --> 00:44:47,894
Carl Stevens, Larry Mason, Joe Gish
891
00:44:48,186 --> 00:44:49,437
and Steve Marshak.
892
00:44:49,729 --> 00:44:52,065
This is Larry Mason standing
right over here.
893
00:44:52,565 --> 00:44:54,484
He's gonna tell you what the new deal
is all about.
894
00:44:59,531 --> 00:45:03,034
We want all you boys to get together
in a little protective association.
895
00:45:03,993 --> 00:45:06,371
We've got some trouble coming up here
and the syndicate's
896
00:45:06,663 --> 00:45:07,997
prepared to handle it for you.
897
00:45:08,581 --> 00:45:11,334
It'll take a little juice,
a little money in the right places.
898
00:45:11,626 --> 00:45:13,878
But we'll see that you get
a buck's worth of protection
899
00:45:14,170 --> 00:45:15,630
for every dollar you put out.
900
00:45:16,172 --> 00:45:18,758
And by forming a protection association,
901
00:45:19,050 --> 00:45:21,094
we can handle it in a businesslike way.
902
00:45:21,386 --> 00:45:22,470
With our money?
903
00:45:22,762 --> 00:45:24,139
Suppose we don't want to join?
904
00:45:24,431 --> 00:45:26,766
You'll change your minds when
you've heard the play-by-play.
905
00:45:27,058 --> 00:45:29,728
I don't know if you men know anything
about the politics in this state,
906
00:45:30,019 --> 00:45:31,396
but if you don't, you should.
907
00:45:31,688 --> 00:45:34,649
Right now up in Sacramento,
there's a bill to legalize bookies.
908
00:45:34,941 --> 00:45:36,860
If that happens,
we're all out of business.
909
00:45:37,152 --> 00:45:38,611
The state will be taking our gravy.
910
00:45:38,903 --> 00:45:40,780
We've not only got to whip that.
911
00:45:41,281 --> 00:45:43,324
But we've got to out box the governor's
new crime commission.
912
00:45:43,616 --> 00:45:46,536
Those guys can't be bought.
So, if you want to stay in business,
913
00:45:46,995 --> 00:45:48,413
You're gonna have to pay for it.
914
00:45:48,705 --> 00:45:50,206
'Cause it'll cost money
915
00:45:50,498 --> 00:45:52,751
for a lobby of our own.
- How much?
916
00:45:53,042 --> 00:45:55,628
We're not going to have any hike
in the price of the wire service.
917
00:45:56,713 --> 00:45:59,090
All we're asking is 20% of every book.
918
00:45:59,382 --> 00:46:02,135
He's out of his mind!
- He'll make us broke in no time!
919
00:46:02,427 --> 00:46:03,636
Now wait a minute.
920
00:46:04,596 --> 00:46:06,765
Nobody is forcing you to join.
921
00:46:07,182 --> 00:46:08,433
But if you don't...
922
00:46:09,142 --> 00:46:12,145
The wire service can only take care
of its own customers.
923
00:46:12,729 --> 00:46:14,647
Count me out.
- Me too.
924
00:46:14,939 --> 00:46:15,982
I've had enough!
925
00:46:19,277 --> 00:46:21,488
I'm glad to see
the rest of you guys are smart.
926
00:46:22,071 --> 00:46:23,615
I've got all your phone numbers.
927
00:46:23,907 --> 00:46:25,074
If you want to join up,
928
00:46:25,658 --> 00:46:27,535
let the men at the door
know as you go out.
929
00:46:33,958 --> 00:46:35,335
Press the buzzer, Pop.
930
00:46:40,507 --> 00:46:42,425
Get out of here, all of you.
931
00:46:46,638 --> 00:46:48,556
You're not going to get away with this!
932
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,529
The bookmakers were no match for the
strong-arm tactics of the hoodlums.
933
00:47:02,946 --> 00:47:05,490
To stay in business, they had to
submit to every demand for tribute.
934
00:47:05,782 --> 00:47:08,785
The west coast soon became
one of the syndicate's richest assets.
935
00:47:09,077 --> 00:47:11,913
Mal Granger had come a long way
from the telephone company.
936
00:47:13,331 --> 00:47:15,458
Here, you can take care of these things
for me.
937
00:47:15,750 --> 00:47:17,001
I got to go over to the Masons' anyway.
938
00:47:17,293 --> 00:47:18,837
You don't spend much time
on business anymore.
939
00:47:19,128 --> 00:47:20,797
Why should I? The business takes
care of itself.
940
00:47:21,089 --> 00:47:22,882
And, I've got you to count up
the money for me.
941
00:47:23,174 --> 00:47:25,343
That's what I have been doing, Mal,
and it doesn't add up right.
942
00:47:25,635 --> 00:47:27,470
Add it up again.
Maybe you misplaced a decimal.
943
00:47:27,762 --> 00:47:28,888
Me or somebody else did.
944
00:47:29,180 --> 00:47:31,224
You're supposed to be getting
a 50-50 break, aren't you?
945
00:47:31,516 --> 00:47:32,767
That's right.
946
00:47:33,059 --> 00:47:34,978
The syndicate took over
six hundred thousand last month.
947
00:47:35,270 --> 00:47:36,896
You got one hundred forty six thousand.
948
00:47:37,188 --> 00:47:39,065
That's not even 70-30, Mal.
949
00:47:40,483 --> 00:47:42,402
Let me see that again.
950
00:47:44,654 --> 00:47:46,447
They wouldn't do that to me
in my own town.
951
00:47:46,739 --> 00:47:47,490
Wouldn't they though.
952
00:47:47,782 --> 00:47:49,993
Remember they insisted on having
their own runners?
953
00:47:51,077 --> 00:47:52,078
Where did you get those figures?
954
00:47:52,370 --> 00:47:54,247
The bookies trust me, Mal.
They wanted you to see them.
955
00:47:54,539 --> 00:47:55,081
They figured if you knew
956
00:47:55,373 --> 00:47:57,458
you were being taken like they were,
you'd do something about it.
957
00:47:57,750 --> 00:47:59,711
I'm going to have a long talk
with somebody right now.
958
00:48:00,003 --> 00:48:01,212
Do you think she could do anything
about it?
959
00:48:01,504 --> 00:48:02,213
What do you mean, "she"?
960
00:48:02,505 --> 00:48:03,923
That's not the only trouble
you're in, Mal.
961
00:48:04,215 --> 00:48:05,967
Larry Mason isn't exactly stupid,
you know.
962
00:48:06,259 --> 00:48:07,677
You're a little bit out of line,
aren't you?
963
00:48:11,806 --> 00:48:12,849
I know, kid.
964
00:48:13,141 --> 00:48:14,392
He's not the same guy.
965
00:48:14,684 --> 00:48:16,561
But maybe he'll come around.
It's worth waiting for.
966
00:48:17,604 --> 00:48:19,522
Do you want to lay odds on that?
967
00:48:21,274 --> 00:48:22,525
Hi, Mal.
968
00:48:22,817 --> 00:48:24,027
I look a little different, don't I?
969
00:48:24,319 --> 00:48:25,403
The boys did a good job on me.
970
00:48:25,695 --> 00:48:27,155
I guess I have to learn the hard way.
971
00:48:27,447 --> 00:48:30,158
Mal, if you could stake me to a fresh
bankroll so I can open up again,
972
00:48:30,450 --> 00:48:32,410
I'll go along with you all the way.
Will you give me a chance?
973
00:48:32,702 --> 00:48:35,038
You had your chance, Tim. You better get
yourself a new racket.
974
00:48:35,330 --> 00:48:36,915
I got troubles enough of my own.
975
00:48:45,173 --> 00:48:47,884
I'm sorry, Larry, you'll just have to
take off without me.
976
00:48:48,176 --> 00:48:49,677
I don't feel athletic today.
977
00:48:50,261 --> 00:48:54,140
Maybe you'd rather go down to Malibu
and build sandcastles.
978
00:48:54,974 --> 00:48:56,768
That's right, make yourself
right at home.
979
00:48:57,060 --> 00:48:59,312
Maybe you didn't come to see me.
- I came to see you, all right.
980
00:48:59,604 --> 00:49:02,398
I got a message for you and Carl.
You can get yourselves a new partner.
981
00:49:02,815 --> 00:49:04,609
You sound like things
are tough all over.
982
00:49:04,901 --> 00:49:06,778
Better let me buy you a cup of coffee.
- Never mind the coffee.
983
00:49:07,820 --> 00:49:09,113
All right, what is it?
984
00:49:09,405 --> 00:49:10,156
You know what it is.
985
00:49:10,448 --> 00:49:12,533
My agreement called for
a 50-50 cut out here.
986
00:49:12,825 --> 00:49:15,828
I got the figures that prove that all
I'm getting is about 30% to your 70.
987
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:17,830
There are certain expenses
we have to allow for.
988
00:49:18,122 --> 00:49:19,540
And what if the figures
don't all check out?
989
00:49:19,832 --> 00:49:21,626
You're averaging $45,000 a month more
990
00:49:21,918 --> 00:49:23,044
than you were you when
you came in with us.
991
00:49:23,336 --> 00:49:25,213
I don't care what I'm averaging.
My agreement was for 50-50.
992
00:49:25,505 --> 00:49:26,965
If I don't get it, I walk out.
993
00:49:27,382 --> 00:49:29,509
It'll be interesting to see
how you do it.
994
00:49:30,802 --> 00:49:33,513
I've seen a few people try. But somehow,
they never seem to make it.
995
00:49:34,263 --> 00:49:35,640
No, Mal, you're in.
996
00:49:36,140 --> 00:49:38,059
You came along for the ride
and I'm afraid you're with us
997
00:49:38,351 --> 00:49:40,228
till the end of the line.
998
00:49:40,645 --> 00:49:43,064
You better have that coffee.
You look all upset.
999
00:50:04,293 --> 00:50:06,963
What's the matter, darling? Something's
been bothering you, hasn't it?
1000
00:50:07,588 --> 00:50:08,673
It's funny.
1001
00:50:09,257 --> 00:50:10,925
I was supposed to be a smart girl.
1002
00:50:11,217 --> 00:50:13,052
Played everything for laughs.
1003
00:50:13,344 --> 00:50:15,221
Now I'm frightened.
- Of what?
1004
00:50:15,972 --> 00:50:17,306
What might happen to you.
1005
00:50:17,598 --> 00:50:18,599
Nothing's gonna happen to me.
1006
00:50:19,100 --> 00:50:21,936
I'll play along with these jokers
until I can grab what they owe me.
1007
00:50:22,228 --> 00:50:23,980
Then we'll light out for keeps.
1008
00:50:24,272 --> 00:50:26,065
Nobody's ever been able to
walk out on them, Mal.
1009
00:50:26,357 --> 00:50:27,900
There's got to be a first time
for everything.
1010
00:50:28,484 --> 00:50:30,403
We found that out, haven't we?
1011
00:50:30,820 --> 00:50:31,738
Yes.
1012
00:50:34,240 --> 00:50:36,367
He was building up
to the payoff right then.
1013
00:50:36,993 --> 00:50:39,203
All Granger needed was a shove.
1014
00:50:39,495 --> 00:50:41,372
It came along a lot sooner
than he expected.
1015
00:50:42,123 --> 00:50:44,709
It came the next Friday night
at the Legion Stadium.
1016
00:51:15,323 --> 00:51:16,657
Hello, Larry.
1017
00:51:16,949 --> 00:51:18,367
Didn't know you liked the fights.
1018
00:51:18,659 --> 00:51:20,078
Me? I'm crazy about them.
1019
00:51:20,369 --> 00:51:22,246
Particularly when I get in for free.
1020
00:51:22,538 --> 00:51:24,290
I found a ticket on Gail's dresser.
1021
00:51:24,582 --> 00:51:27,502
She told me she'd never seen a fight
so I sent her a ticket.
1022
00:51:27,794 --> 00:51:29,754
If I'd known you were coming,
I'd have made it a pair.
1023
00:51:30,046 --> 00:51:31,130
Sure you would, Mal.
1024
00:51:31,422 --> 00:51:32,507
Peanuts?
- No thanks.
1025
00:51:32,799 --> 00:51:35,343
A fight's not the fights
without peanuts.
1026
00:51:35,635 --> 00:51:39,639
Hey, the kid in blue tights isn't too bad.
Gail would have got a kick out of him.
1027
00:51:40,515 --> 00:51:43,518
Maybe you didn't hear. She had
a little accident this afternoon.
1028
00:51:44,060 --> 00:51:45,394
Accident? When? What happened?
1029
00:51:45,686 --> 00:51:47,271
Fell down some stairs.
1030
00:51:47,563 --> 00:51:49,440
Hurt her jaw and nose.
1031
00:51:49,732 --> 00:51:52,068
Got kind of a black eye too.
1032
00:51:52,735 --> 00:51:55,363
Doctor thought she'd better spend
the night in Hollywood Hospital.
1033
00:51:55,780 --> 00:51:57,573
Stairs, huh? Were you around
when it happened?
1034
00:51:57,865 --> 00:51:59,283
What a punch.
1035
00:52:00,451 --> 00:52:02,328
That kid's really got it.
1036
00:52:02,620 --> 00:52:04,497
Sure, I was around.
1037
00:52:05,790 --> 00:52:08,042
I figured maybe Gail was just tired.
1038
00:52:08,835 --> 00:52:10,253
Not watching what she was doing.
1039
00:52:10,545 --> 00:52:11,963
She's been getting around too much.
1040
00:52:12,255 --> 00:52:13,589
Maybe she doesn't like the way
she's been living.
1041
00:52:13,881 --> 00:52:15,341
Maybe that's why she gets around
so much.
1042
00:52:15,633 --> 00:52:16,425
Could be.
1043
00:52:17,009 --> 00:52:19,011
Who's been spoiling her, Mal?
1044
00:52:19,303 --> 00:52:21,722
Drive-ins, little bars places like this.
1045
00:52:22,682 --> 00:52:24,559
You shouldn't do things like that
for a dame.
1046
00:52:25,059 --> 00:52:27,145
Especially if she doesn't belong to you.
1047
00:52:34,152 --> 00:52:36,487
Only a minute now.
I'm going to give you a sedative.
1048
00:52:44,370 --> 00:52:45,288
Mal.
1049
00:52:46,164 --> 00:52:47,415
It was a good fight.
1050
00:52:47,999 --> 00:52:49,917
But I'm afraid I underrated my opponent.
1051
00:52:50,501 --> 00:52:52,295
I'd like to see him pick on someone
his own size.
1052
00:52:52,587 --> 00:52:53,713
No, it wouldn't help.
1053
00:52:54,297 --> 00:52:55,590
It would only end in a killing.
1054
00:52:56,174 --> 00:52:57,967
If they killed you, I'd die with you.
1055
00:52:58,259 --> 00:53:00,261
I can't stand around
and let this happen.
1056
00:53:00,553 --> 00:53:02,013
Every time I'm not with you,
I'll be afraid...
1057
00:53:02,305 --> 00:53:03,181
No, Mal.
1058
00:53:03,472 --> 00:53:05,308
I don't care about
what Larry does to me.
1059
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:07,476
But I do care about you.
1060
00:53:08,019 --> 00:53:09,812
If anything happened to you.
- What am I supposed to do?
1061
00:53:10,104 --> 00:53:11,314
Just sit here and relax?
1062
00:53:11,606 --> 00:53:14,025
Right now, we've got to pretend
we never felt this way.
1063
00:53:15,109 --> 00:53:18,029
Mal, you've got to keep coming
to the house as if nothing happened.
1064
00:53:18,613 --> 00:53:19,572
Will you?
1065
00:53:21,616 --> 00:53:22,533
Sure.
1066
00:53:23,618 --> 00:53:25,119
Sure, I'll come around.
1067
00:53:25,995 --> 00:53:27,914
Maybe things will handle themselves.
1068
00:53:28,206 --> 00:53:30,041
Remember the old gag?
1069
00:53:30,333 --> 00:53:32,210
Time wounds all heels?
1070
00:53:55,566 --> 00:53:56,943
Want to see me, Mr. Granger?
1071
00:53:57,235 --> 00:53:59,070
Yeah. Sit down.
1072
00:53:59,987 --> 00:54:01,906
I was feeling kind of lonesome tonight.
1073
00:54:03,991 --> 00:54:05,910
Matter of fact,
I'm feeling very lonesome.
1074
00:54:06,494 --> 00:54:08,579
I thought you had many friends.
Only the other day I...
1075
00:54:08,871 --> 00:54:09,330
Sure.
1076
00:54:09,622 --> 00:54:10,623
I know a lot of people.
1077
00:54:11,082 --> 00:54:12,667
But they're not the right sort.
1078
00:54:16,337 --> 00:54:18,256
I need to meet one man, Rocco.
1079
00:54:19,257 --> 00:54:21,133
One man who can do me a lot of good.
1080
00:54:21,717 --> 00:54:23,928
Who is this man?
- I said I don't know him.
1081
00:54:24,220 --> 00:54:26,472
But I need a man for a job.
1082
00:54:27,056 --> 00:54:28,224
A tough job.
1083
00:54:28,766 --> 00:54:30,559
Surely, Mr. Granger, you know
many such men.
1084
00:54:30,851 --> 00:54:32,436
I also need a stranger.
1085
00:54:33,020 --> 00:54:34,939
Someone who doesn't know me.
1086
00:54:35,690 --> 00:54:37,608
Or anyone in my business.
1087
00:54:41,487 --> 00:54:43,406
Well uh...
1088
00:54:43,990 --> 00:54:45,700
Maybe you need a new sport coat.
1089
00:54:45,992 --> 00:54:48,494
Sport coat?
- Yeah.
1090
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:52,498
I know a place where the tailoring
is exceptional. The material the best.
1091
00:54:53,541 --> 00:54:55,459
A place in Beverly Hills called Gizzi.
1092
00:54:55,751 --> 00:54:56,210
Gizzi.
1093
00:54:56,502 --> 00:54:59,171
Gizzi's from Victoria. They just opened
up. I know him real well.
1094
00:54:59,463 --> 00:55:01,674
His father and my father came
from the old country together.
1095
00:55:02,258 --> 00:55:03,175
Gizzi.
1096
00:55:03,467 --> 00:55:04,760
Absolutely reliable.
1097
00:55:05,052 --> 00:55:06,595
Satisfaction guaranteed.
1098
00:55:07,179 --> 00:55:09,056
Just tell him I sent you.
1099
00:55:13,728 --> 00:55:15,271
Thanks, Rocco.
1100
00:55:36,042 --> 00:55:39,378
If you want something, come back
in an hour. The clerk's out to lunch.
1101
00:55:39,670 --> 00:55:41,505
Are you Gizzi?
- Yeah.
1102
00:55:44,133 --> 00:55:46,510
I'd like to talk to you about
a special job of tailoring.
1103
00:55:47,303 --> 00:55:49,221
I don't do no special jobs.
1104
00:55:49,972 --> 00:55:52,099
Everything here is plainly marked.
1105
00:55:52,391 --> 00:55:54,727
If you like the price, buy it.
If you don't, go someplace else.
1106
00:55:55,895 --> 00:55:57,313
Even a friend of Rocco's?
1107
00:55:59,357 --> 00:56:00,566
Rocco, huh?
1108
00:56:05,279 --> 00:56:06,530
Nice goods.
1109
00:56:07,615 --> 00:56:09,533
You got a lot of nice merchandise here.
1110
00:56:10,117 --> 00:56:10,910
The best.
1111
00:56:19,502 --> 00:56:20,920
You like the way it fits?
1112
00:56:22,046 --> 00:56:23,547
Sure. Looks good to me.
1113
00:56:25,007 --> 00:56:27,176
What's this special job, friend?
1114
00:56:32,264 --> 00:56:33,265
Say...
1115
00:56:34,767 --> 00:56:36,435
No wonder your coats are so expensive.
1116
00:56:37,436 --> 00:56:38,771
Look what I found in the pocket.
1117
00:56:39,188 --> 00:56:40,564
Five thousand dollars.
1118
00:56:41,524 --> 00:56:44,276
I like them better with
ten thousand in them.
1119
00:56:44,568 --> 00:56:46,654
Then the customer is very satisfied.
1120
00:56:52,451 --> 00:56:54,370
Maybe I better try on another coat.
1121
00:57:05,673 --> 00:57:07,883
Cold for you out here, Gail?
Why don't you get yourself a wrap?
1122
00:57:08,175 --> 00:57:09,468
I'm very comfortable, thanks.
1123
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:11,804
We haven't all been together
for a long time, Mal.
1124
00:57:12,096 --> 00:57:13,222
What gave you the idea tonight?
1125
00:57:13,514 --> 00:57:15,474
I thought I'd better let
bygones be bygones.
1126
00:57:19,145 --> 00:57:20,438
Besides I...
1127
00:57:20,729 --> 00:57:21,981
I could use a little gin money.
1128
00:57:22,273 --> 00:57:23,607
Smartening up huh, boy?
1129
00:57:24,567 --> 00:57:25,317
That's more like it.
1130
00:57:25,609 --> 00:57:27,862
I'll still show you that I can
beat you at anything.
1131
00:57:28,154 --> 00:57:29,447
Well, I deal.
1132
00:57:31,866 --> 00:57:33,534
Just giving him a little break.
1133
00:57:45,129 --> 00:57:46,130
Dollar a point?
1134
00:57:46,422 --> 00:57:48,299
Don't want to make it too tough on you.
1135
00:57:48,716 --> 00:57:52,094
But even at a buck a point,
the way you play gin I could retire.
1136
00:57:53,846 --> 00:57:55,473
So, I'll help you retire.
1137
00:57:56,056 --> 00:57:59,018
I could use a little luck, Gail.
Why don't you sit next to me?
1138
00:57:59,894 --> 00:58:01,896
Are you sure you want my advice?
1139
00:58:02,188 --> 00:58:07,610
Sure, go ahead. With you kibitzing he's
a cinch to wind up buying me a new car.
1140
00:58:31,759 --> 00:58:35,012
If I draw another card like that,
I'll think something's crooked.
1141
00:58:35,679 --> 00:58:36,555
You can count on it.
1142
00:58:36,847 --> 00:58:38,432
I have to make a living some way.
1143
00:58:39,058 --> 00:58:40,059
Don't say I didn't warn you.
1144
00:58:40,976 --> 00:58:42,019
I'm very sorry.
1145
00:58:42,311 --> 00:58:44,522
How clumsy can you be.
We better get some water on that.
1146
00:58:44,813 --> 00:58:46,065
No, it's nothing, Mal.
1147
00:58:46,357 --> 00:58:47,942
No, come on, we'll fix it.
1148
00:58:53,322 --> 00:58:54,323
Stay here.
1149
00:59:04,833 --> 00:59:07,044
The first time it's ever happened to us.
1150
00:59:08,087 --> 00:59:09,588
To others, yes but...
1151
00:59:10,005 --> 00:59:11,090
Never to us.
1152
00:59:11,507 --> 00:59:13,092
How did you make out with the police?
1153
00:59:13,384 --> 00:59:15,052
They sweated me for eight hours.
1154
00:59:15,344 --> 00:59:17,429
When they found out I didn't
know anything, they had to let me go.
1155
00:59:17,721 --> 00:59:19,431
They just told me not to leave town.
1156
00:59:19,723 --> 00:59:21,475
They even questioned me.
1157
00:59:21,767 --> 00:59:23,435
That's bad. Very bad.
1158
00:59:23,727 --> 00:59:26,564
The public should never even be aware
that there is a wire service.
1159
00:59:27,398 --> 00:59:29,066
Lucky you spilled that drink.
1160
00:59:29,483 --> 00:59:31,402
I guess Gail was lucky too.
1161
00:59:31,986 --> 00:59:33,988
Everyone but Larry.
- Yeah.
1162
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:36,156
I guess you never know, do you?
1163
00:59:36,574 --> 00:59:38,909
Still can't figure out who would want
to kill him though.
1164
00:59:39,326 --> 00:59:41,537
Unless it was one of those bookies
he batted around.
1165
00:59:41,829 --> 00:59:44,665
I don't think so.
It was too carefully planned.
1166
00:59:45,833 --> 00:59:48,586
We still have our everyday problems.
1167
00:59:49,712 --> 00:59:53,632
We'll all have a little talk. Real soon.
1168
00:59:54,425 --> 00:59:56,927
Don't feel that everything
has just ended, my dear.
1169
00:59:57,386 --> 00:59:58,887
If the police...
1170
00:59:59,346 --> 01:00:01,599
Can't discover Larry's murderer,
we will.
1171
01:00:02,182 --> 01:00:03,434
And when we do,
1172
01:00:04,018 --> 01:00:05,352
there'll be another funeral.
1173
01:00:15,195 --> 01:00:17,114
Are you sure you told me everything?
1174
01:00:17,656 --> 01:00:19,325
I thought you were the girl who knew
all the answers.
1175
01:00:19,617 --> 01:00:20,451
Please, Mal.
1176
01:00:21,035 --> 01:00:22,620
I didn't have anything to do with it.
1177
01:00:23,078 --> 01:00:24,163
You have to believe me.
1178
01:00:24,580 --> 01:00:26,248
Guess I have to.
1179
01:00:27,082 --> 01:00:28,334
I want to, Mal.
1180
01:00:29,001 --> 01:00:30,336
Come on.
1181
01:00:43,849 --> 01:00:45,768
I have to get out of this house, Mal.
1182
01:00:46,352 --> 01:00:48,520
Every minute is like waiting for it
to happen again.
1183
01:00:48,812 --> 01:00:50,272
It won't happen again. Not to us.
1184
01:00:50,564 --> 01:00:51,774
I'll find you another place to live.
1185
01:00:52,066 --> 01:00:53,567
Maybe you ought to go
to Palm Springs for a while.
1186
01:00:53,859 --> 01:00:55,611
I want to get away from
the whole business, Mal.
1187
01:00:55,903 --> 01:00:57,446
Not just the house, everything.
1188
01:00:57,738 --> 01:00:59,615
I just want to be with you.
- You'll be with me.
1189
01:01:00,074 --> 01:01:01,909
But I can't cut away now.
1190
01:01:02,201 --> 01:01:04,953
They still owe me plenty
from that 70-30 chiseling.
1191
01:01:05,496 --> 01:01:08,123
Six months is all I need to make those
guys pony up every cent they owe me.
1192
01:01:08,415 --> 01:01:10,084
And when you get that, you'll want more.
1193
01:01:10,376 --> 01:01:11,377
Another six months, another year.
1194
01:01:11,669 --> 01:01:13,420
But I'd be a sucker to walk out now.
1195
01:01:13,712 --> 01:01:14,963
Money's the answer to everything.
1196
01:01:15,464 --> 01:01:16,715
Is it?
- Sure.
1197
01:01:19,802 --> 01:01:21,762
Hello, Trudy.
1198
01:01:24,431 --> 01:01:25,974
Chippie said you wanted to see me.
1199
01:01:26,266 --> 01:01:27,726
That's right. You haven't been
around much lately.
1200
01:01:28,018 --> 01:01:28,811
Anything wrong?
1201
01:01:29,103 --> 01:01:30,187
No, not with me.
1202
01:01:30,479 --> 01:01:31,772
Nothing wrong with the business either.
1203
01:01:32,064 --> 01:01:33,273
I'm declaring a dividend.
1204
01:01:33,565 --> 01:01:35,442
No thanks, Mal, I don't want
any part of it.
1205
01:01:39,154 --> 01:01:41,532
Is that why you haven't dragged down
your last couple of week's salary?
1206
01:01:41,824 --> 01:01:42,574
That's why.
1207
01:01:42,866 --> 01:01:44,243
What for? It's money, isn't it?
1208
01:01:44,660 --> 01:01:46,787
This money has a peculiar smell to it.
1209
01:01:47,079 --> 01:01:48,122
One I don't like.
1210
01:01:48,706 --> 01:01:50,499
Looks like things have changed, Trudy?
1211
01:01:50,791 --> 01:01:51,834
That's right, Mal, things have changed.
1212
01:01:52,126 --> 01:01:54,336
Some of the changes,
I'm not so crazy about either.
1213
01:01:54,628 --> 01:01:55,921
Maybe it's just some of the people.
1214
01:01:56,463 --> 01:01:59,550
You're not nailed to the job.
You can quit any time you like.
1215
01:01:59,842 --> 01:02:01,760
That's what I was thinking.
How do you resign around here?
1216
01:02:02,052 --> 01:02:03,929
I'll save you the trouble. You're fired.
1217
01:02:08,851 --> 01:02:10,227
Any more questions?
1218
01:02:11,478 --> 01:02:13,355
No, I guess you've answered
everything, Mal.
1219
01:02:13,647 --> 01:02:14,481
Good.
1220
01:02:22,406 --> 01:02:24,324
Mal Granger in?
- Who wants him?
1221
01:02:24,908 --> 01:02:27,578
Just tell him the man who sold him
the suit. That's all you have to say.
1222
01:02:27,870 --> 01:02:29,288
He's pretty busy. What do you want?
1223
01:02:29,580 --> 01:02:32,458
Like I said. Just tell him the man
who sold him the suit.
1224
01:02:32,750 --> 01:02:34,084
All right, wait here.
1225
01:02:49,308 --> 01:02:51,059
Okay, he'll see you.
1226
01:02:58,776 --> 01:03:01,028
How are you, Mal?
You're kind of a tough guy to see.
1227
01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:02,738
Must be pretty busy these days.
1228
01:03:03,155 --> 01:03:05,240
No busier than usual.
What's on your mind?
1229
01:03:05,532 --> 01:03:07,534
It's like this...
1230
01:03:07,826 --> 01:03:10,496
A man always likes to hear a good word
about his work.
1231
01:03:11,413 --> 01:03:14,374
That job I did for you
turned out pretty good, huh?
1232
01:03:14,666 --> 01:03:17,085
Everybody says
you're a real big shot now.
1233
01:03:17,669 --> 01:03:19,588
A big wheel in the syndicate.
1234
01:03:20,130 --> 01:03:21,006
So?
1235
01:03:21,298 --> 01:03:24,051
So I figure a big wheel
has gotta go out more.
1236
01:03:25,260 --> 01:03:27,179
If you are, you gotta dress up.
1237
01:03:27,971 --> 01:03:30,182
Maybe you need some more suits, huh?
1238
01:03:31,016 --> 01:03:32,392
I got all the clothes
I can use right now.
1239
01:03:32,684 --> 01:03:34,394
Say you put up 25 G's.
1240
01:03:34,686 --> 01:03:35,729
For a new wardrobe.
1241
01:03:36,021 --> 01:03:37,481
Then you'd look good
no matter what comes up.
1242
01:03:38,524 --> 01:03:40,526
I can't afford it. It's too expensive.
1243
01:03:40,818 --> 01:03:42,569
It'd be a good buy.
1244
01:03:42,861 --> 01:03:43,946
I might take a trip back
1245
01:03:44,238 --> 01:03:47,282
to the old country for 3 or 4 months
to see my relatives.
1246
01:03:54,873 --> 01:03:57,709
This would be a good time
for me to take a trip.
1247
01:03:58,293 --> 01:04:00,212
Good for you too.
1248
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:04,132
Maybe you got a deal, Gizzi.
1249
01:04:04,424 --> 01:04:05,592
If you leave right away.
1250
01:04:06,051 --> 01:04:08,178
I'll have it for you tonight.
1251
01:04:08,470 --> 01:04:10,389
We better meet somewhere
where we won't be seen.
1252
01:04:10,681 --> 01:04:12,432
How about the Malibu pier at 10 O'clock?
1253
01:04:12,724 --> 01:04:13,934
Malibu pier.
1254
01:04:14,226 --> 01:04:15,519
10 O'clock.
1255
01:04:24,528 --> 01:04:26,446
Hello.
1256
01:04:27,030 --> 01:04:28,949
Hello, Carl, how are you?
1257
01:04:29,408 --> 01:04:30,409
Tonight?
1258
01:04:32,077 --> 01:04:33,996
Do we have to have a meeting tonight?
1259
01:04:35,747 --> 01:04:37,291
All right, if you say so.
1260
01:04:38,292 --> 01:04:39,751
Dinner at 8:30.
1261
01:04:49,011 --> 01:04:51,847
I'm glad you were able to
spare us the time, Mal.
1262
01:04:52,139 --> 01:04:53,307
Yeah, sure.
1263
01:04:55,601 --> 01:04:57,728
This meeting concerns you
perhaps more than it does us.
1264
01:04:58,020 --> 01:04:59,146
What's it all about anyway?
1265
01:05:01,023 --> 01:05:02,274
Larry's death.
1266
01:05:03,650 --> 01:05:07,571
We have decided that for you at least
it has come at an opportune time.
1267
01:05:08,780 --> 01:05:11,241
We're going to put you in charge
of the entire west coast.
1268
01:05:11,825 --> 01:05:13,201
Oh, that's fine.
1269
01:05:13,493 --> 01:05:14,870
But maybe I'm not quite ready yet.
1270
01:05:15,162 --> 01:05:16,413
I've still got a lot to learn.
1271
01:05:16,830 --> 01:05:17,789
Remember me?
1272
01:05:18,665 --> 01:05:20,751
The country boy that got sucked
into a 70-30 deal?
1273
01:05:21,043 --> 01:05:22,794
We told you that was necessary expenses.
1274
01:05:23,086 --> 01:05:24,463
You got nothing to kick about.
1275
01:05:24,755 --> 01:05:26,715
You'll be getting a part of
Larry's take from now on.
1276
01:05:27,007 --> 01:05:32,054
The big problem on this coast is to
take care of Larry's murderer.
1277
01:05:33,096 --> 01:05:35,724
As long as the assassin is free,
1278
01:05:36,016 --> 01:05:37,893
others might get ideas about us.
1279
01:05:38,352 --> 01:05:40,062
Maybe we ought to let
the police handle it.
1280
01:05:40,354 --> 01:05:42,189
They at least have got some leads.
1281
01:05:42,773 --> 01:05:46,401
It would have a more salutary effect
if we took care of it ourselves.
1282
01:05:46,693 --> 01:05:48,946
And I mean to do just that.
1283
01:05:51,073 --> 01:05:53,408
What we must decide tonight...
1284
01:05:53,700 --> 01:05:54,993
Is where to start.
1285
01:05:55,661 --> 01:05:58,121
Larry's murder was obviously
one of revenge.
1286
01:05:58,413 --> 01:05:59,748
Did you make out that list?
1287
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:02,000
We had a little trouble
around Kansas City.
1288
01:06:02,292 --> 01:06:03,669
Kelly and Rasta both swore to get him.
1289
01:06:03,961 --> 01:06:04,920
Mm-hmm.
1290
01:06:05,212 --> 01:06:06,213
But they didn't.
1291
01:06:06,713 --> 01:06:08,256
I've already checked there.
1292
01:06:08,548 --> 01:06:10,425
Kelly has been in the hospital
for months.
1293
01:06:11,176 --> 01:06:12,344
And Rasta
1294
01:06:12,761 --> 01:06:14,930
was in Kansas City
the night Larry was killed.
1295
01:06:16,348 --> 01:06:18,266
You know,
maybe it was someone from out here.
1296
01:06:18,725 --> 01:06:20,018
Somebody he crossed.
1297
01:06:21,144 --> 01:06:22,187
It was.
1298
01:06:22,980 --> 01:06:24,147
I'm sure of that.
1299
01:06:25,107 --> 01:06:26,900
But none of these local bookmakers would
1300
01:06:27,192 --> 01:06:29,486
dare to attempt such a rubout.
1301
01:06:30,654 --> 01:06:34,116
Unless, of course, they hired
someone to do it.
1302
01:06:34,408 --> 01:06:36,284
And probably someone from out of town.
1303
01:06:36,785 --> 01:06:39,204
There's one guy in L.A.
who might handle a job like this.
1304
01:06:39,496 --> 01:06:41,707
I knew him back in Detroit.
His name's Gizzi.
1305
01:06:42,833 --> 01:06:46,503
Surely there must be more than one
suspect in a town of this size.
1306
01:06:47,421 --> 01:06:50,298
I think we better call
all the hoodlums in.
1307
01:06:51,216 --> 01:06:53,427
What do you think, Mal?
- Yeah, sure.
1308
01:06:53,719 --> 01:06:54,344
Good idea.
1309
01:06:54,636 --> 01:06:55,512
I'll take care of it.
1310
01:06:55,804 --> 01:06:56,471
Good.
1311
01:06:56,763 --> 01:06:59,182
Then we'll start with Mr. Gizzi and
1312
01:06:59,474 --> 01:07:00,642
go on from there.
1313
01:07:01,268 --> 01:07:04,563
Sorry to have taken up so much
of your time, Mal, but
1314
01:07:05,439 --> 01:07:08,942
I hope you realize
that this business is urgent.
1315
01:07:09,234 --> 01:07:10,402
Oh, sure, sure.
1316
01:07:11,445 --> 01:07:12,529
Good night.
1317
01:07:15,282 --> 01:07:15,949
Good night.
1318
01:07:19,494 --> 01:07:21,413
Good night.
- See you.
1319
01:07:55,489 --> 01:07:57,199
Thee you are, Gizzi.
1320
01:07:58,158 --> 01:07:59,451
And take my advice.
1321
01:07:59,743 --> 01:08:01,286
Make this a nice long trip.
1322
01:08:04,164 --> 01:08:05,290
Think I should?
1323
01:08:07,542 --> 01:08:10,545
I got to worrying
after I left you today.
1324
01:08:10,962 --> 01:08:12,839
What happens
if somebody puts the heat on you?
1325
01:08:13,131 --> 01:08:14,466
Who's gonna protect you then?
- I will.
1326
01:08:14,758 --> 01:08:16,301
You just go and visit your relatives.
1327
01:08:16,593 --> 01:08:18,345
Believe me, you need this trip.
1328
01:08:18,637 --> 01:08:21,515
I waited a long time.
I can wait a little longer.
1329
01:08:22,140 --> 01:08:24,768
Particularly now I got my eye
on a new business.
1330
01:08:25,060 --> 01:08:25,936
Oh, not mine.
1331
01:08:26,478 --> 01:08:28,230
Yours.
- I'll handle it myself.
1332
01:08:28,522 --> 01:08:29,564
I don't need you, Gizzi.
1333
01:08:29,856 --> 01:08:31,066
I say you do.
1334
01:08:31,566 --> 01:08:33,026
Just a silent partner.
1335
01:08:33,318 --> 01:08:35,529
Somebody to look after your interests
while you
1336
01:08:35,821 --> 01:08:36,947
chase around with that dame of Mason's.
1337
01:08:37,239 --> 01:08:38,115
you leave her out of this.
1338
01:08:38,406 --> 01:08:40,575
After all she's pretty and young.
1339
01:08:41,159 --> 01:08:43,662
She might get into all kind of trouble
if you don't keep her happy.
1340
01:08:43,954 --> 01:08:45,080
I tell you, leave her out of this.
1341
01:08:45,372 --> 01:08:47,374
Kind of stubborn, huh?
Well, get off it.
1342
01:08:47,666 --> 01:08:50,085
You can't afford to argue,
Now on, you're cutting me in.
1343
01:08:50,377 --> 01:08:52,129
I'd have to figure out
how to cut you in.
1344
01:08:52,420 --> 01:08:53,630
And while I was figuring it,
1345
01:08:54,047 --> 01:08:55,549
a lot of things might happen.
1346
01:08:55,841 --> 01:08:58,009
A lot more will happen
if you don't cut me in.
1347
01:08:58,844 --> 01:09:02,097
I'll give you till tomorrow
to make up your mind.
1348
01:09:05,350 --> 01:09:07,644
I get kind of nervous
when people keep me waiting.
1349
01:09:13,692 --> 01:09:15,610
I'll be seeing you, partner.
1350
01:09:51,646 --> 01:09:53,064
You look sick.
1351
01:09:53,607 --> 01:09:55,525
Get me a drink.
1352
01:09:56,109 --> 01:09:57,944
Am I glad you're home.
1353
01:09:58,236 --> 01:10:00,280
I tried all over town to catch you.
1354
01:10:01,740 --> 01:10:03,658
That cop wants you to call him.
1355
01:10:04,659 --> 01:10:06,536
Pete Wright?
- Yeah.
1356
01:10:06,828 --> 01:10:08,705
He wants to talk to you tonight.
1357
01:10:12,500 --> 01:10:14,294
What does he want?
Where did you tell him I was?
1358
01:10:14,586 --> 01:10:15,921
I just said you would call him. Period.
1359
01:10:16,213 --> 01:10:20,133
I tried to stall him. Told him I thought
you went to Palm Springs to see Gail.
1360
01:10:29,601 --> 01:10:31,019
I'd call him right now if I were you.
1361
01:10:31,311 --> 01:10:33,188
You don't want him coming here
to pick you up.
1362
01:11:05,011 --> 01:11:06,054
Long distance?
1363
01:11:06,346 --> 01:11:09,266
I want Palm Springs 23654.
1364
01:11:16,314 --> 01:11:18,108
Hello.
- Hello, Gail?
1365
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:20,110
Oh, Mal, I've been hoping you'd call.
1366
01:11:21,778 --> 01:11:22,946
Is anything wrong?
1367
01:11:23,238 --> 01:11:24,447
I'll tell you about it when I see you.
1368
01:11:24,739 --> 01:11:26,283
But you got to do something
for me right away.
1369
01:11:26,574 --> 01:11:28,910
You know that relay amplifier
I rigged up when I was down there?
1370
01:11:29,202 --> 01:11:30,912
That thing I used to keep in touch
with all the offices?
1371
01:11:31,204 --> 01:11:32,330
Yes, it's still here but...
1372
01:11:32,622 --> 01:11:33,665
What's all this about?
1373
01:11:34,416 --> 01:11:36,293
Is it Carl?
- Not yet.
1374
01:11:36,584 --> 01:11:39,170
But unless you do exactly as I tell you,
I'm going to be in a lot of trouble.
1375
01:11:39,462 --> 01:11:40,255
Go ahead, Mal.
1376
01:11:40,547 --> 01:11:41,589
Pick up the other phone.
1377
01:11:41,881 --> 01:11:45,802
And call Pete Wright of the gangster
squad in Los Angeles.
1378
01:11:46,094 --> 01:11:48,930
When you get him, put each phone
in the cradles of the amplifier.
1379
01:11:49,222 --> 01:11:50,056
You understand that?
1380
01:11:50,598 --> 01:11:51,558
Okay. Call him.
1381
01:12:00,775 --> 01:12:01,943
Okay, Mal.
1382
01:12:09,951 --> 01:12:11,202
Hello, operator.
1383
01:12:11,494 --> 01:12:15,206
I want to call Los Angeles.
Michigan 5211, please.
1384
01:12:18,376 --> 01:12:21,212
Lieutenant Wright please.
Palm Springs calling.
1385
01:12:24,382 --> 01:12:25,717
Gangster Squad, Wright speaking.
1386
01:12:26,009 --> 01:12:28,636
Hello, Lieutenant Wright,
this is Gail Mason.
1387
01:12:29,220 --> 01:12:31,139
Just a moment. Mal wants to talk to you.
1388
01:12:31,723 --> 01:12:33,641
Put the beeper on. I want this recorded.
1389
01:12:40,440 --> 01:12:41,608
Hello, Granger?
1390
01:12:42,150 --> 01:12:44,235
What are you doing in Palm Springs?
You were told not to leave town.
1391
01:12:44,527 --> 01:12:46,112
That's what I'm calling you about.
1392
01:12:46,404 --> 01:12:48,073
Gail needed a rest pretty badly and...
1393
01:12:48,365 --> 01:12:49,783
I thought I could
use some sun myself so, uh,
1394
01:12:50,075 --> 01:12:52,202
We decided to run down here on our own.
1395
01:12:52,494 --> 01:12:53,912
I thought you'd be sort of celebrating.
1396
01:12:54,204 --> 01:12:56,081
Word's around town
you just had a promotion.
1397
01:12:57,207 --> 01:12:59,793
How does it feel
having Larry Mason's old job?
1398
01:13:00,085 --> 01:13:01,294
You know a lot, don't you?
1399
01:13:01,586 --> 01:13:04,881
I like to keep tabs on a guy who's
going up in the world so rapidly.
1400
01:13:05,173 --> 01:13:05,924
Thanks.
1401
01:13:06,216 --> 01:13:06,966
Don't mention it.
1402
01:13:07,258 --> 01:13:08,468
Better stay put, Granger. That's all.
1403
01:13:09,302 --> 01:13:11,846
I just wanted him on the record
about taking over the West Coast.
1404
01:13:12,138 --> 01:13:12,889
Well, we've got it.
1405
01:13:13,181 --> 01:13:15,392
It may come in handy
if we ever go before the Grand Jury.
1406
01:13:19,062 --> 01:13:21,523
This coroner's report
doesn't add up at all.
1407
01:13:21,815 --> 01:13:24,943
According to him, Gizzi was crushed to
death before he was dumped in the ocean.
1408
01:13:25,235 --> 01:13:26,319
No water in his lungs.
1409
01:13:27,070 --> 01:13:28,988
The crime lab report isn't in yet.
1410
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:31,199
For my money, it's just another
wrong guy rubbed out.
1411
01:13:31,491 --> 01:13:32,700
But it wasn't a gang job.
1412
01:13:32,992 --> 01:13:34,285
It doesn't have
the right characteristics.
1413
01:13:34,577 --> 01:13:35,495
He had money on him.
1414
01:13:35,787 --> 01:13:37,330
So robbery's out.
1415
01:13:37,622 --> 01:13:38,873
I think it was done
on the spur of the moment.
1416
01:13:39,165 --> 01:13:40,333
I can't get it.
1417
01:13:41,292 --> 01:13:42,127
What's the matter?
1418
01:13:42,419 --> 01:13:43,878
If it's not Bing Crosby,
you don't like it?
1419
01:13:44,170 --> 01:13:46,840
It's that one you ran on Granger.
I can't get part of it.
1420
01:13:47,132 --> 01:13:49,342
A whistle keeps drowning out
something he's saying.
1421
01:13:49,634 --> 01:13:51,136
Let me hear it.
Maybe I can figure it out.
1422
01:13:51,428 --> 01:13:52,429
Right here.
1423
01:13:53,138 --> 01:13:55,014
Gail needed a rest pretty badly and...
1424
01:13:55,306 --> 01:13:57,100
so, uh...
1425
01:13:57,392 --> 01:13:59,269
decided to run down here on our own.
1426
01:13:59,769 --> 01:14:01,521
That's some kind of a streetcar whistle.
1427
01:14:01,813 --> 01:14:03,815
Whatever it is, they don't have
any transportation running
1428
01:14:04,107 --> 01:14:06,234
right through the center
of Palm Springs.
1429
01:14:06,526 --> 01:14:08,319
You know a lot, don't you?
1430
01:14:08,611 --> 01:14:10,572
Granger wasn't there at all.
1431
01:14:10,864 --> 01:14:13,533
Why did he go to so much trouble
to rig up an alibi?
1432
01:14:14,534 --> 01:14:16,077
We better have a talk with him.
1433
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:34,012
Mal.
1434
01:14:35,138 --> 01:14:37,765
Mal, this happened right about
the time you talked to me.
1435
01:14:38,391 --> 01:14:39,476
Well?
1436
01:14:41,394 --> 01:14:43,188
Did your alibi have
anything to do with this?
1437
01:14:43,480 --> 01:14:45,982
You've been around long enough
not to ask questions like that.
1438
01:14:47,150 --> 01:14:48,401
Who was he, Mal?
1439
01:14:48,693 --> 01:14:49,736
How do I know?
1440
01:14:51,404 --> 01:14:52,655
Was he the one who shot Larry?
1441
01:14:55,366 --> 01:14:57,577
You hired him to kill Larry
then you had to kill him.
1442
01:14:58,786 --> 01:15:00,330
I never thought that you'd...
1443
01:15:00,622 --> 01:15:01,539
That I'd what?
1444
01:15:02,499 --> 01:15:04,417
Murder.
- Don't say that. I don't like it!
1445
01:15:18,473 --> 01:15:20,099
That's what Larry would have done.
1446
01:15:21,309 --> 01:15:23,645
I'm sorry. It will never
happen again. I promise you.
1447
01:15:28,274 --> 01:15:30,193
I just don't want anything
to happen to you.
1448
01:15:31,486 --> 01:15:32,737
Nothing's going to happen to me.
1449
01:15:54,133 --> 01:15:55,093
Hello?
1450
01:15:55,718 --> 01:15:56,970
Oh, hello, Wright.
1451
01:15:57,720 --> 01:15:59,639
Yeah, sure, I'm still down here.
1452
01:16:02,183 --> 01:16:04,477
What's all the rush about?
1453
01:16:07,272 --> 01:16:08,231
All right.
1454
01:16:08,815 --> 01:16:10,733
See you at headquarters at 3 O'clock.
1455
01:16:12,860 --> 01:16:14,529
What do you mean you don't know
what that whistle is?
1456
01:16:15,113 --> 01:16:16,364
Take another look, Granger.
1457
01:16:16,656 --> 01:16:18,950
This is a recording
of a streetcar whistle.
1458
01:16:19,242 --> 01:16:22,203
This is a recording of your phone call.
1459
01:16:24,122 --> 01:16:26,791
Identical sounds. Streetcar whistles.
1460
01:16:27,375 --> 01:16:29,711
There are no streetcars in Palm Springs.
1461
01:16:30,503 --> 01:16:32,422
I still don't know what
you're so excited about.
1462
01:16:32,839 --> 01:16:34,340
I've been around electronics.
1463
01:16:34,632 --> 01:16:36,593
You could have butched up
that recording yourself.
1464
01:16:36,884 --> 01:16:39,804
It might have been a streetcar from
around here. They do go past here.
1465
01:16:40,096 --> 01:16:41,472
You think of everything, don't you?
1466
01:16:41,764 --> 01:16:43,641
But you were framing
an alibi that night.
1467
01:16:44,100 --> 01:16:45,435
That cathode ray proves it.
1468
01:16:45,727 --> 01:16:47,061
Why should I need an alibi?
1469
01:16:47,353 --> 01:16:48,146
You tell us.
1470
01:16:48,438 --> 01:16:49,814
A lot of things happened that night.
1471
01:16:50,106 --> 01:16:51,524
But only one would interest you.
1472
01:16:52,108 --> 01:16:52,984
A guy named Gizzi.
1473
01:16:53,276 --> 01:16:54,402
The guy went off the pier?
1474
01:16:54,694 --> 01:16:56,195
I never even heard of him.
1475
01:16:56,487 --> 01:16:58,781
If you guys are going to drag me down
here every time you get a brainstorm...
1476
01:16:59,073 --> 01:16:59,824
We are.
1477
01:17:00,116 --> 01:17:02,744
And one of those brainstorms is going
to get you in trouble, big shot.
1478
01:17:03,244 --> 01:17:05,663
I have a hunch you got my message
at the beach all right.
1479
01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:08,916
But you didn't call Palm Springs from
your house. You're too smart for that.
1480
01:17:09,208 --> 01:17:10,918
You probably went to the drug store
and called Mrs. Mason
1481
01:17:11,210 --> 01:17:13,004
and had her hook up your call.
1482
01:17:13,296 --> 01:17:15,298
You've heard of relay amplifiers,
haven't you?
1483
01:17:15,590 --> 01:17:17,091
Maybe I have and maybe I haven't.
1484
01:17:17,383 --> 01:17:20,762
I'm tired of playing games
over some stupid train whistle.
1485
01:17:21,054 --> 01:17:23,723
Either book me, let me call my lawyer,
or let me get out of here.
1486
01:17:24,307 --> 01:17:25,850
Okay, Granger, you can beat it.
1487
01:17:26,142 --> 01:17:26,851
Thanks.
1488
01:17:27,143 --> 01:17:28,853
The next time I bring you in,
it's to stay.
1489
01:17:29,145 --> 01:17:30,980
So don't get any ideas
about leaving town.
1490
01:17:31,272 --> 01:17:33,149
What makes you think
there's going to be a next time?
1491
01:17:37,195 --> 01:17:39,489
Don't worry, we'll be ready
in five minutes.
1492
01:17:41,449 --> 01:17:42,992
That's not what I'm worried about.
1493
01:17:43,785 --> 01:17:46,079
There's nothing the matter, is there?
You're going with me?
1494
01:17:47,330 --> 01:17:48,456
Of course I am.
1495
01:17:48,748 --> 01:17:50,625
All right, you wanted to get away.
Now you're doing it.
1496
01:17:53,002 --> 01:17:53,878
Look.
1497
01:17:54,462 --> 01:17:58,174
You know I wouldn't let anything happen
to you. I got everything figured out.
1498
01:17:58,758 --> 01:18:00,677
If it were only the police, Mal,
we'd have a chance.
1499
01:18:01,135 --> 01:18:02,178
But there's Carl.
1500
01:18:02,929 --> 01:18:05,598
I've seen too many try it but I've
never seen anyone make it.
1501
01:18:05,890 --> 01:18:07,767
Come here, let me show you something.
1502
01:18:12,313 --> 01:18:15,066
There's $230,000 in cash.
1503
01:18:15,358 --> 01:18:17,235
I didn't get that by being stupid.
1504
01:18:17,694 --> 01:18:19,904
And I know where I got about
that much more waiting.
1505
01:18:20,363 --> 01:18:22,156
And I'll tell you where
we're going to get it.
1506
01:18:22,448 --> 01:18:23,533
We're going to Las Vegas.
1507
01:18:23,825 --> 01:18:25,076
You, me and Chippie.
1508
01:18:25,493 --> 01:18:27,078
Las Vegas?
1509
01:18:27,495 --> 01:18:29,330
That's the last place Carl will figure.
1510
01:18:31,749 --> 01:18:35,086
This is one time I make those guys
pay off every cent they owe me.
1511
01:18:36,462 --> 01:18:39,882
While I was still trying to hook up
Granger with Gizzi's murder in L.A.,
1512
01:18:40,174 --> 01:18:42,051
he was fixing things for a real haul.
1513
01:18:42,343 --> 01:18:43,678
It was a dangerous plan.
1514
01:18:43,970 --> 01:18:46,139
But by now, Mal was too driven to care.
1515
01:18:46,431 --> 01:18:48,850
Mal knew which books the syndicate
owned in Las Vegas.
1516
01:18:49,142 --> 01:18:51,185
And he was going to past post them.
1517
01:18:51,477 --> 01:18:54,439
If he was caught,
he was dead right then.
1518
01:18:54,731 --> 01:18:58,526
He tapped the cables of the wire service
that led to all the horse parlors.
1519
01:18:58,818 --> 01:19:01,487
And electrically set their clocks
back two minutes.
1520
01:19:02,238 --> 01:19:04,157
Then he stretched wires
into a hotel room.
1521
01:19:04,741 --> 01:19:07,452
Between the connections
were tape recording machines.
1522
01:19:08,703 --> 01:19:11,581
By next afternoon, Granger was
all set for the kill.
1523
01:19:12,582 --> 01:19:13,374
How do I look?
1524
01:19:13,666 --> 01:19:15,460
Hope I look better than I feel,
'cause I don't feel so good.
1525
01:19:15,752 --> 01:19:17,170
You look fine, Chippie.
Now, you got it straight?
1526
01:19:17,462 --> 01:19:19,756
Your station is at the horse parlor
across the way.
1527
01:19:20,047 --> 01:19:20,840
When I get the winner,
1528
01:19:21,132 --> 01:19:23,176
I'll cut in on the loudspeaker
with the late price change.
1529
01:19:23,468 --> 01:19:25,011
I'll use a phony voice like this.
1530
01:19:25,303 --> 01:19:27,889
Flash. The odds on number three
in the seventh
1531
01:19:28,181 --> 01:19:30,266
race are now 8 to 1.
- Hey, that's good.
1532
01:19:30,558 --> 01:19:32,977
Now the number of the horse
I call is the winner.
1533
01:19:33,269 --> 01:19:35,521
And I'm going to sock $3,000 across the
board on number 7 in the eighth race.
1534
01:19:35,813 --> 01:19:39,108
No, the seventh race. Number 3
in the seventh race.
1535
01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:40,860
Mal, what if I get it wrong?
- Don't worry, Chippie.
1536
01:19:41,152 --> 01:19:43,154
It'll be the last time you ever get
anything wrong in your life.
1537
01:19:43,446 --> 01:19:45,072
I hope so.
- Now remember.
1538
01:19:45,364 --> 01:19:47,200
It's just the number of the horse I call
1539
01:19:47,492 --> 01:19:49,160
and the seventh and eighth
races in California but
1540
01:19:49,452 --> 01:19:51,204
you gotta make a couple of
sucker bets first.
1541
01:19:51,496 --> 01:19:53,748
If I want to pick a loser, I'll pick
a winner. It's just my luck.
1542
01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:55,750
No, we got to build up
a couple of losses
1543
01:19:56,042 --> 01:19:57,293
so they won't think anything about it
1544
01:19:57,585 --> 01:19:59,128
when we really start to
chunk it in later.
1545
01:20:00,505 --> 01:20:01,464
Okay, get going.
1546
01:20:01,756 --> 01:20:03,633
I've already told Gail what to do.
1547
01:20:04,634 --> 01:20:06,719
In the third in California
1548
01:20:07,011 --> 01:20:09,096
Make the show horse $2.60
1549
01:20:09,388 --> 01:20:10,598
instead of $2.80.
1550
01:20:10,890 --> 01:20:13,434
They're nearing the post
for the seventh in California.
1551
01:20:13,726 --> 01:20:15,394
Here's the reading.
1552
01:20:15,686 --> 01:20:17,021
Here are the readings.
1553
01:20:17,480 --> 01:20:19,232
Even money on top.
1554
01:20:19,816 --> 01:20:21,734
20, 4
1555
01:20:22,151 --> 01:20:22,944
20
1556
01:20:23,236 --> 01:20:24,362
scratch one.
1557
01:20:24,654 --> 01:20:26,531
10, 6
1558
01:20:27,114 --> 01:20:29,033
2 1/2 and 8 on the bottom.
1559
01:20:30,201 --> 01:20:31,911
Granger was now ready.
1560
01:20:32,203 --> 01:20:35,039
He was recording the running of the race
on one tape recorder.
1561
01:20:35,331 --> 01:20:37,875
And holding up the recorded results
for two minutes.
1562
01:20:38,167 --> 01:20:41,963
On the other machine he was releasing
the delayed results to the horse parlors
1563
01:20:42,547 --> 01:20:45,049
They're off and running in the seventh
in California.
1564
01:20:45,758 --> 01:20:48,219
At the quarter it's number 8 by a neck.
1565
01:20:48,511 --> 01:20:50,388
Number 6 by a head.
1566
01:20:50,680 --> 01:20:51,973
And number 2.
1567
01:20:53,808 --> 01:20:56,936
They're still at the post
in the seventh at California.
1568
01:20:57,228 --> 01:21:02,024
They're still at the post in the seventh
at California. Number 3 is acting up.
1569
01:21:11,492 --> 01:21:13,077
Nothing to it.
1570
01:21:14,370 --> 01:21:15,162
In the stretch,
1571
01:21:15,454 --> 01:21:17,248
It's number 2 by a length,
1572
01:21:17,540 --> 01:21:19,166
number 6 by a head,
1573
01:21:19,750 --> 01:21:21,752
and number 8 is running third.
1574
01:21:22,044 --> 01:21:23,713
Here are the winners at California,
1575
01:21:24,297 --> 01:21:26,924
Number 2 wins it by three lengths.
1576
01:21:28,259 --> 01:21:29,510
They're still at the post.
1577
01:21:30,094 --> 01:21:31,178
Here comes a flash.
1578
01:21:31,929 --> 01:21:33,139
Here comes a flash.
1579
01:21:33,723 --> 01:21:34,932
Number 2
1580
01:21:35,391 --> 01:21:37,977
Number 2 is now 15
1581
01:21:38,269 --> 01:21:40,563
Number 2 is now 15
1582
01:21:41,397 --> 01:21:43,524
Two thousand across the board
on number 2 please.
1583
01:21:43,816 --> 01:21:44,775
Yes, ma'am.
1584
01:21:46,986 --> 01:21:49,155
Three thousand across the board
on number 2.
1585
01:21:49,447 --> 01:21:51,324
Just a minute. Al?
1586
01:21:52,575 --> 01:21:55,411
This fellow wants to bet $3,000
across the board on number 2.
1587
01:21:55,703 --> 01:21:57,496
They're not off yet in California.
1588
01:21:57,788 --> 01:21:58,915
Number 2
1589
01:21:59,206 --> 01:22:00,458
Is back to 20.
1590
01:22:00,750 --> 01:22:02,501
He's already lost $8,000.
1591
01:22:02,793 --> 01:22:04,003
Guess he's trying to get even.
1592
01:22:04,295 --> 01:22:06,047
Take it. They're still at the post.
1593
01:22:06,339 --> 01:22:07,256
Okay.
1594
01:22:11,469 --> 01:22:14,138
They're off and running
in the seventh at California.
1595
01:22:14,430 --> 01:22:17,099
At the quarter it's number 8 by a neck,
1596
01:22:17,391 --> 01:22:18,851
Number 6 by a head,
1597
01:22:19,143 --> 01:22:20,519
And number 2.
1598
01:22:20,811 --> 01:22:23,856
At the half, it's number 6
by a half a length,
1599
01:22:24,148 --> 01:22:25,942
Number 2 by a head,
1600
01:22:26,233 --> 01:22:27,443
and number 8.
1601
01:22:27,735 --> 01:22:29,153
In the stretch,
1602
01:22:29,445 --> 01:22:31,197
It's number 2 by a length,
1603
01:22:31,489 --> 01:22:33,199
number 6 by a head,
1604
01:22:33,491 --> 01:22:35,242
and number 8 is running third.
1605
01:22:35,534 --> 01:22:37,411
Here are the winners at California,
1606
01:22:37,828 --> 01:22:40,206
Number 2 wins it by three lengths.
1607
01:22:40,498 --> 01:22:42,291
Number 6 is second.
1608
01:22:42,583 --> 01:22:44,460
And number 8 is third.
1609
01:22:46,712 --> 01:22:49,465
It's okay in California in the eighth.
1610
01:22:49,757 --> 01:22:52,009
That's number 9 Milargo,
1611
01:22:52,301 --> 01:22:54,053
number 1 Zapata,
1612
01:22:54,345 --> 01:22:56,305
and number 3 Thirador.
1613
01:22:56,597 --> 01:22:58,724
That's 9, 1, and 3.
1614
01:23:00,184 --> 01:23:01,769
Pardon me.
1615
01:23:11,570 --> 01:23:13,114
You hit us pretty hard.
1616
01:23:13,406 --> 01:23:15,574
I'm afraid we haven't got this kind
of money on hand.
1617
01:23:15,866 --> 01:23:17,576
Would you mind taking a check?
You can cash it
1618
01:23:17,868 --> 01:23:19,537
at the bank when it opens
in the morning.
1619
01:23:20,121 --> 01:23:21,706
I guess it'll be all right.
1620
01:23:22,289 --> 01:23:23,582
I'll get it right away.
1621
01:23:24,458 --> 01:23:26,961
Here you are, Chippie.
The hotel paid Gail off in cash.
1622
01:23:27,253 --> 01:23:28,546
Did you get rid of those
lines on the roof?
1623
01:23:28,838 --> 01:23:30,881
You wouldn't know anybody was up
there. Not even a cigarette butt on it.
1624
01:23:31,173 --> 01:23:34,051
All we got to do is cash Chippie's check
in the morning and then, darling...
1625
01:23:34,510 --> 01:23:35,428
We're retired.
1626
01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:36,804
I'm afraid.
1627
01:23:37,346 --> 01:23:39,098
Between the police and Carl.
- It's all over.
1628
01:23:39,390 --> 01:23:40,725
We're going to sink without a trace.
1629
01:23:41,017 --> 01:23:43,227
We just lie low at the Boulder Inn
for a couple of weeks and then
1630
01:23:43,519 --> 01:23:44,437
we're off to Guatemala.
1631
01:23:44,729 --> 01:23:45,938
Maybe you will, but how about me?
1632
01:23:46,230 --> 01:23:48,107
If they start looking,
Vegas will give them all the answers.
1633
01:23:48,399 --> 01:23:49,233
Now, let's not borrow trouble.
1634
01:23:49,525 --> 01:23:51,527
There's only one road out. If they
check the railroads and the airlines...
1635
01:23:51,819 --> 01:23:52,403
Chippie...
1636
01:23:52,695 --> 01:23:55,239
Just in case of a tie,
I got a place all picked out.
1637
01:23:55,823 --> 01:23:57,825
That's him all right.
1638
01:23:58,117 --> 01:23:59,410
He didn't say his name was Granger.
1639
01:23:59,994 --> 01:24:02,329
He brought in a Cadillac
with a marked up fender.
1640
01:24:02,621 --> 01:24:04,957
I rubbed it down and airbrushed it
while he waited.
1641
01:24:05,249 --> 01:24:06,375
Made it look good as new.
1642
01:24:06,667 --> 01:24:08,836
And the paint was identical with
the sample we showed you?
1643
01:24:09,128 --> 01:24:10,838
Yeah, Cadillac green.
1644
01:24:11,130 --> 01:24:12,923
Thanks. That's all we need.
1645
01:24:13,215 --> 01:24:14,216
Let's pick up Granger.
1646
01:24:14,508 --> 01:24:16,510
Nobody else has been able to tell me
how my books
1647
01:24:16,802 --> 01:24:19,430
were hit for a quarter of a million
dollars in one day, Healy.
1648
01:24:20,056 --> 01:24:22,058
What makes you think you can?
- Nothing maybe.
1649
01:24:22,349 --> 01:24:24,894
But the day it happened, I saw
Chippie Evans cashing a wad.
1650
01:24:25,311 --> 01:24:26,812
And Mal Granger was in town too.
1651
01:24:27,104 --> 01:24:27,813
I saw him.
1652
01:24:28,105 --> 01:24:28,731
Go on.
1653
01:24:29,023 --> 01:24:30,524
I just figured they went down
for the weekend.
1654
01:24:30,816 --> 01:24:32,151
When I heard what happened...
1655
01:24:32,443 --> 01:24:33,819
You'll figure it out for yourself.
1656
01:24:34,111 --> 01:24:35,988
Now it adds up.
1657
01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:39,658
Only one man in the world would know
how to past post up here.
1658
01:24:40,159 --> 01:24:41,285
Mal Granger.
1659
01:24:42,036 --> 01:24:44,413
Now I'm sure of a lot of things.
1660
01:24:44,705 --> 01:24:45,706
Larry's death.
1661
01:24:45,998 --> 01:24:47,208
Mrs. Mason was with him.
1662
01:24:48,125 --> 01:24:49,710
You've done us a favor, Healy.
1663
01:24:50,002 --> 01:24:51,504
When I get back to L.A.,
1664
01:24:51,796 --> 01:24:53,756
I'll see that you're set up
with a new book.
1665
01:24:54,048 --> 01:24:54,840
Thanks.
1666
01:24:55,132 --> 01:24:58,260
Now if you could just tell us
where Granger is staying.
1667
01:24:58,552 --> 01:24:59,637
He's not here now.
1668
01:25:00,096 --> 01:25:02,681
He wouldn't take a chance on getting
cut off in a place like this.
1669
01:25:03,265 --> 01:25:06,102
That's why you'll never be anything
but a bookmaker, Healy.
1670
01:25:06,811 --> 01:25:08,604
Mal Granger's too smart to run.
1671
01:25:08,896 --> 01:25:12,274
He'd stay right here expecting us
to be searching the country for him.
1672
01:25:12,566 --> 01:25:13,984
We heard about an hour ago
that the police
1673
01:25:14,276 --> 01:25:17,780
were down at his place in Malibu
looking for him for Gizzi's murder.
1674
01:25:18,531 --> 01:25:21,534
Operator, will you get me
the L.A. police department.
1675
01:25:22,535 --> 01:25:26,288
I want to talk to Lieutenant Pete Wright
of the Gangster Squad.
1676
01:25:38,759 --> 01:25:41,470
Guatemala, here we come. Nothing in the
papers about us. We're in the clear.
1677
01:25:42,096 --> 01:25:43,430
How are you darling? You still love me?
1678
01:25:43,722 --> 01:25:45,599
I'll love you more in Guatemala.
- That's my girl.
1679
01:25:45,891 --> 01:25:46,392
Come on, Chippie.
1680
01:25:46,684 --> 01:25:48,519
We got to go to Las Vegas
to get the check cashed.
1681
01:25:49,854 --> 01:25:51,522
That's kind of taking chances, ain't it?
1682
01:25:51,814 --> 01:25:53,482
Not as much as if you try
to collect it in some other town
1683
01:25:53,774 --> 01:25:54,775
and wait for the check to clear.
1684
01:25:55,067 --> 01:25:57,778
You get a cab out of here and go
straight to the bank in Las Vegas
1685
01:25:58,070 --> 01:25:59,405
and keep the cab waiting, see?
- Sure.
1686
01:25:59,697 --> 01:26:00,698
All right, come on. Let's get going.
1687
01:26:01,157 --> 01:26:02,658
Come on, come on.
1688
01:26:09,331 --> 01:26:10,332
Now!
1689
01:26:11,167 --> 01:26:12,126
Wait a minute!
1690
01:26:14,003 --> 01:26:15,671
A hundred thousand dollars.
1691
01:26:16,255 --> 01:26:18,174
Where's the rest of it, Evans?
1692
01:26:19,133 --> 01:26:20,342
I don't know.
1693
01:26:31,687 --> 01:26:32,730
Boulder Inn.
1694
01:26:33,647 --> 01:26:35,649
So that's where our little boyfriend is.
1695
01:26:36,108 --> 01:26:36,901
Isn't he?
1696
01:26:37,193 --> 01:26:39,653
Stop it! You know I can't stand that.
1697
01:26:40,613 --> 01:26:42,031
Besides, that's...
1698
01:26:42,323 --> 01:26:43,741
Peterson's department.
1699
01:26:44,033 --> 01:26:45,201
I told you I don't know anything.
1700
01:26:45,784 --> 01:26:47,620
He's at the inn all right.
1701
01:26:47,912 --> 01:26:48,704
Should we get him?
1702
01:26:49,288 --> 01:26:50,748
No, let him stay there until our
1703
01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:52,541
friends the police arrive.
1704
01:26:52,833 --> 01:26:54,168
What are you going to do to me?
1705
01:26:55,836 --> 01:26:58,881
Evans, I admire loyalty
but not to the wrong people.
1706
01:26:59,506 --> 01:27:01,425
You will go with Peterson, please.
1707
01:27:14,021 --> 01:27:16,482
You'd better get down to the airport.
You'll miss Lieutenant Wright.
1708
01:27:16,774 --> 01:27:18,400
You're the one who called him.
He'll be expecting you.
1709
01:27:18,817 --> 01:27:19,902
A policeman?
1710
01:27:20,486 --> 01:27:21,987
I wouldn't be bothered.
1711
01:27:22,863 --> 01:27:25,157
You take care of it.
I'll join you later.
1712
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:35,793
Hi, Pete.
1713
01:27:36,085 --> 01:27:38,045
What's that you called me?
- He meant Mr. Wright.
1714
01:27:38,337 --> 01:27:39,004
That's better.
1715
01:27:39,296 --> 01:27:39,838
Where's Stevens?
1716
01:27:40,130 --> 01:27:41,298
You know how these things upset him.
1717
01:27:41,590 --> 01:27:42,758
He doesn't like to
get involved in anything unpleasant.
1718
01:27:43,050 --> 01:27:45,427
Oh, sure. He wants to keep
his lily white hands clean.
1719
01:27:45,719 --> 01:27:46,595
Sheriff Steele.
1720
01:27:46,887 --> 01:27:48,430
Howdy, Sheriff.
Always glad to help an officer.
1721
01:27:48,722 --> 01:27:50,224
Why don't you stop marching?
1722
01:27:50,641 --> 01:27:51,767
And get this through your head.
1723
01:27:52,059 --> 01:27:54,603
The only reason I'm here cleaning up
your dirty laundry
1724
01:27:54,895 --> 01:27:56,230
is because we want Granger badly.
1725
01:27:56,522 --> 01:27:58,357
There's no reason for that attitude.
1726
01:27:58,649 --> 01:28:01,485
My attitude toward you
is one of complete disgust.
1727
01:28:01,777 --> 01:28:04,571
We're clean. Our wire service
is perfectly legitimate.
1728
01:28:04,863 --> 01:28:06,615
So are your banks and music businesses.
1729
01:28:06,907 --> 01:28:08,200
But what about all your sidelines?
1730
01:28:08,492 --> 01:28:09,410
You want me to go into them?
1731
01:28:09,702 --> 01:28:12,079
What's that got to do with Granger? You
came up here to get him, didn't you?
1732
01:28:12,371 --> 01:28:14,248
Sure. But someday,
we're going to get all of you.
1733
01:28:14,707 --> 01:28:16,959
When the public gets wise
to your stinking mess.
1734
01:28:17,251 --> 01:28:18,419
Now where's Granger?
1735
01:28:24,300 --> 01:28:25,426
Boulder Inn.
1736
01:28:25,718 --> 01:28:27,594
We can be there in about
35 minutes. I've got a car waiting.
1737
01:28:36,186 --> 01:28:37,771
Well, that settles Granger.
1738
01:28:38,355 --> 01:28:40,274
I think we handled things very well.
1739
01:28:40,691 --> 01:28:42,484
My bags here?
- I had them checked.
1740
01:28:42,776 --> 01:28:43,777
Good.
1741
01:28:44,069 --> 01:28:46,488
Steve, I'm putting you
in charge out here.
1742
01:28:47,406 --> 01:28:51,368
I promised my children I'd go back East
on the farm with them for a while.
1743
01:28:52,286 --> 01:28:55,331
Anything important, I can be reached
through the usual source.
1744
01:29:06,300 --> 01:29:07,134
Mal?
1745
01:29:09,011 --> 01:29:10,679
Something's happened to Chippie.
1746
01:29:25,235 --> 01:29:27,196
I think we better go find him.
1747
01:29:33,660 --> 01:29:35,329
The inn's about 7 miles from here.
1748
01:29:35,621 --> 01:29:36,914
Not far from the dam.
1749
01:30:03,565 --> 01:30:05,192
That's Granger. Turn around.
1750
01:30:05,484 --> 01:30:06,777
It's Pete Wright.
1751
01:30:11,365 --> 01:30:12,908
He's turning around.
1752
01:30:15,994 --> 01:30:17,913
We better head for Boulder Dam.
1753
01:30:24,711 --> 01:30:26,547
Once we're across the dam,
we're in Arizona.
1754
01:30:26,839 --> 01:30:28,382
We'll never make it into Vegas now.
1755
01:30:34,012 --> 01:30:37,099
Sherriff's car number 1 calling
government rangers at Boulder Dam.
1756
01:30:37,391 --> 01:30:38,851
Green Cadillac convertible
1757
01:30:39,143 --> 01:30:41,228
California license number,
9 Young 8...
1758
01:30:41,520 --> 01:30:43,272
9 Young 8...
- 014.
1759
01:30:43,564 --> 01:30:45,732
014 headed toward dam.
1760
01:30:46,024 --> 01:30:48,694
This man wanted for murder.
Throw up roadblock. Over.
1761
01:31:19,266 --> 01:31:22,269
Kelly, Bates, you handle the other side.
Get him if he tries to come over.
1762
01:31:22,561 --> 01:31:24,438
Hey, what's the matter?
- What's the hold up?
1763
01:31:26,398 --> 01:31:28,317
Mal, it's too late.
They've blocked it off.
1764
01:31:34,740 --> 01:31:36,909
It's never too late, darling, come on.
1765
01:32:00,557 --> 01:32:05,646
The next tour of the dam
will leave in five minutes.
1766
01:32:29,795 --> 01:32:32,381
The next tour of the dam
1767
01:32:32,798 --> 01:32:35,384
will leave immediately.
1768
01:32:40,013 --> 01:32:42,224
No smoking on the elevator.
1769
01:32:49,982 --> 01:32:51,358
Wright, L.A. Police.
1770
01:32:51,650 --> 01:32:52,901
Granger's car is parked up there.
1771
01:32:53,193 --> 01:32:54,945
Did you see anyone
that fits his description?
1772
01:32:55,237 --> 01:32:56,280
No, I didn't see them.
1773
01:32:56,572 --> 01:32:58,532
The only way they could have
got through is in a crowd.
1774
01:32:58,824 --> 01:33:00,701
Want to come with us, Captain?
We'll check the other end.
1775
01:33:07,624 --> 01:33:11,587
We're now descending
in the elevator 528 feet.
1776
01:33:12,170 --> 01:33:17,718
One tenth of a mile, or equal to the
height of a 44 story office building.
1777
01:33:18,302 --> 01:33:20,220
As we step from the elevator,
1778
01:33:20,512 --> 01:33:24,558
We still have 199 feet of the dam
below us.
1779
01:33:29,229 --> 01:33:30,731
Kelly, have you seen Granger
and the girl?
1780
01:33:31,023 --> 01:33:32,190
Nope, no one's got through here.
1781
01:33:32,482 --> 01:33:34,359
They must have ducked into the dam.
- Let's check.
1782
01:33:37,529 --> 01:33:39,531
Right this way, please.
1783
01:33:39,823 --> 01:33:41,950
Follow me. Watch your step.
1784
01:33:51,084 --> 01:33:52,544
At this point,
1785
01:33:52,836 --> 01:33:55,631
we're now standing
in a portion of the dam
1786
01:33:55,922 --> 01:33:58,467
that's 457 feet thick.
1787
01:33:59,509 --> 01:34:01,386
It's 107 feet
1788
01:34:01,970 --> 01:34:04,931
upstream through solid concrete
1789
01:34:05,223 --> 01:34:06,850
to the water in Lake Mead.
1790
01:34:07,142 --> 01:34:10,687
We're going to walk downstream
through the thickness of the dam,
1791
01:34:11,104 --> 01:34:14,107
350 feet to the Nevada wing
of the power plant.
1792
01:34:14,399 --> 01:34:16,151
Watch your step, please.
1793
01:34:16,443 --> 01:34:17,444
Follow me.
1794
01:34:20,030 --> 01:34:21,615
How long ago did the last tour get out?
1795
01:34:21,907 --> 01:34:24,034
10 minutes ago. They should be
coming out right about now.
1796
01:34:24,326 --> 01:34:25,494
Let us use your binoculars.
1797
01:34:33,669 --> 01:34:37,506
You are now standing in the
Nevada wing of the power plant.
1798
01:34:38,090 --> 01:34:43,595
Ahead are seven hydroelectric generators
1799
01:34:43,887 --> 01:34:46,348
each one with a turbine capacity
1800
01:34:46,640 --> 01:34:49,351
of 115,000 horsepower.
1801
01:34:49,643 --> 01:34:53,355
Don't worry, we'll get out of here as
soon as we get over to the Arizona side.
1802
01:34:53,647 --> 01:34:56,358
Now, right this way, please.
1803
01:34:56,650 --> 01:34:58,527
Follow me.
1804
01:35:25,137 --> 01:35:30,225
Where we're now standing, folks, it's 560 feet
up to the top of the dam,
1805
01:35:30,517 --> 01:35:34,354
The elevator shaft we came down
is right to the left
1806
01:35:34,646 --> 01:35:37,023
of the large awning you see
at the top of the dam.
1807
01:35:37,315 --> 01:35:39,526
Say, can I borrow your glasses, sir?
- Sure.
1808
01:35:45,115 --> 01:35:47,367
Thank you, sir.
- You're welcome.
1809
01:35:47,826 --> 01:35:50,036
It's Pete Wright.
We better lose this crowd.
1810
01:35:52,706 --> 01:35:54,416
There he is, come on.
1811
01:36:01,131 --> 01:36:02,007
What do we do now?
1812
01:36:02,299 --> 01:36:04,509
If we can find the Arizona elevators
ahead of that crowd, we've got a chance.
1813
01:36:04,801 --> 01:36:05,719
Come on.
1814
01:36:38,376 --> 01:36:39,961
Come on. This way.
1815
01:36:56,061 --> 01:36:57,938
I can't go any further, Mal,
I just can't.
1816
01:36:58,230 --> 01:36:59,064
You've got to.
1817
01:36:59,356 --> 01:37:00,232
Come on.
1818
01:37:17,082 --> 01:37:18,375
Gail, listen to me.
1819
01:37:18,667 --> 01:37:19,751
You wait back there for me.
1820
01:37:20,043 --> 01:37:21,378
I'll shake them off
and come back for you.
1821
01:37:22,212 --> 01:37:23,296
Yes.
1822
01:38:08,341 --> 01:38:10,385
Take her up to my car.
We'll keep after him.
1823
01:39:32,258 --> 01:39:34,469
He must have taken
the Nevada inspection stairway.
1824
01:39:43,520 --> 01:39:45,605
We can take the elevator
and catch him at the top.
1825
01:40:41,703 --> 01:40:42,787
Granger, hold it!
1826
01:41:08,396 --> 01:41:09,481
Oh, Mal.
1827
01:41:12,734 --> 01:41:14,402
Give me two to win
on Honeycomb in the fifth.
1828
01:41:14,694 --> 01:41:16,946
Only an innocent two dollar bet,
you say?
1829
01:41:17,238 --> 01:41:20,241
It's just as innocent as the germs
in an epidemic.
1830
01:41:20,533 --> 01:41:22,494
Spreading the worst kind of disease.
1831
01:41:22,786 --> 01:41:26,206
The civic disease of criminals
with an $8 billion racket.
1832
01:41:26,748 --> 01:41:28,249
Corrupting politicians,
1833
01:41:28,541 --> 01:41:29,626
buying protection,
1834
01:41:30,210 --> 01:41:33,088
fostering crime,
all with your two dollars.
