(woman screaming) - I'll kill her, I swear!

- You haven't got a chance.

- I'll kill her!

I mean it!

(dramatic music)

- [Woman] Let me go.

- Hold it, hold it!

- You should've caught them all,

don't you see what's gonna happen?

(gun fires) (glass shatters)

(woman screams)

- What kind of person is she?

- She's very nice.

Very warm, very worried.

- Is she honest?

- You dirty, rotten, lying...

- Easy, hey, hey.

- What the man's saying is, you're busted, pal.

- Now, you tell me,

how can one man do in another man,

with an object such as this,

in plain view of four witnesses,

and then come up with five dozen technical motions

to delay the trial for three weeks already?

- The wheels of justice grind slowly.

- So slowly we can hardly see them turn anymore.

- I think maybe Pepper has something going

with that hot-shot prosecutor down there.

- Sergeant Crowley, how could you?

- You know, instead of spending every day, all day in court,

we could use you on a couple of cases around here.

So would you ask that guy to get a move on?

I mean, maybe you could start a firecracker

under his tail or something.

- I could use this.

- You could try.

It's alright with me.

(phone ringing)

- Thanks, Joe.

- Criminal Conspiracy, Styles.

- Listen, very carefully, please.

Sometime this morning, there's going to be a robbery

at the Ashford building.

- Hello?

- Kathleen?

Everything alright?

- Oh yeah.

- Hello?

- What was that all about?

- Female voice.

Said there was gonna be a robbery

at the Ashford building this morning.

- The Ashford building? - Yeah.

- Joe, that's 18 stories.

Could she narrow it down a little bit?

- The lady hung up in the middle of her story.

Like something made her change her mind.

- Could be a prank.

- I don't know.

- We had better give security a call.

- Yeah, go ahead.

- I'll also ask her to pull a list of tenants.

Yeah, operator.

- How many good robbery targets

would there be in that building?

- A building that size?

Business hours population, about 4,000.

(phone ringing)

- Captain DiMaggio.

Police?

Yes, sir.

A robbery?

When?

- Just a precaution.

Shouldn't be more than five minutes before we're there.

- Alright, we can do that.

- Okay.

Think I just shook up a couple of security guards.

- Well,

it may be a crank call,

but we can't afford to ignore it.

(dramatic music)

- Sorry, I can't go with you guys.

I don't like being in court.

- You know, if you don't get that murder weapon

introduced pretty soon,

people are going to start thinking

you're a candlestick maker instead of a cop.

- Would you believe I've had two offers already?

- Yeah, for what?

- Not to play the piano.

- I think I caught your act in Tijuana.

(laughs)

(dramatic music)

(tires screeching)

(dramatic music)

- Set a low expectation,

we're looking for a needle in a haystack.

(dramatic music)

- I'm Sergeant Crowley.

- Captain Dimaggio.

(dramatic music)

- Hey, you got any bear claws?

We're all out of bear claws.

And danish.

(suspenseful orchestral music)

- Jewelry companies, savings and loans, coin exchange,

gold and silver exchange, antiques, securities.

Take your pick, huh?

- How can we help, Sergeant?

- Well, for openers, in case a robbery does go down

we should have a game plan.

You got a...

You got a blueprint of this building?

- Yes, sir.

(dramatic music)

We keep this here in case of fire.

(dramatic orchestral music)

- Okay, let's go.

(dramatic music)

Now.

- What? - Shut up!

Securities drawer, let's move!

- Oh my god! - Shut up!

- Now, wait a minute, you can't come...

- Mister, if you want to keep ticking,

you'll do what I say, hear?

Hear?

- This way.

- [Thief] Come on, you too.

(dramatic music)

- Look, if something did go down,

is there any way to control those elevators

so that anybody exiting building

would have to come through this lobby?

- Real easy, I can stop the elevators in seconds.

- Yeah, but what about the stairs?

- Well, you can get into the stairwells,

but the doors are locked on the inside.

Now, once inside a person would have to walk

all the way down.

(dramatic music)

- Come on, let's move it.

(dramatic music)

- Come on, hurry up!

Come on, come on!

- Let's do it.

- You're watching them.

(dramatic music)

The telephone's cut.

You wanna call the cops,

you'll have to go outside.

You do that before 10 minutes go by,

the man I got outside will blow you in half.

Any question about that?

Okay.

Now, you're acting real smart.

Stay that way.

Remember,

10 minutes.

(dramatic music)

- Oh my god!

- Mr. Saunders they forgot the radio.

- Hello?

Hello?

This is the securities exchange in 1704.

We have just been robbed.

(dramatic music)

- Now, give it to me.

- [Mr. Saunders] And the second one,

the one who had the securities,

was wearing khaki pants

and one of those bulky, knit sweaters,

you know, the kind that buttons down the front?

- What color was that sweater?

- Off white.

No, wait a minute, it was sort of a pale yellow.

- Standby.

Okay, we got a plan, let's put it to work.

You and Joe cover the elevators.

Mr. Saunders?

You wanna go over those descriptions again for me, please?

(suspenseful orchestral music)

- Hey you, with the sweater, I want to talk with you.

Police.

The guy with the sweater!

The man with the sweater! (woman screams)

- Give it up, you haven't got a chance!

- Stay back, all of you, stay back, I'll kill her!

I mean it!

(crowd yelling)

Stay back!

Back away, I mean it!

Get back!

You're killing her!

I'll kill her!

I'll kill her.

- [Woman] Help! Help!

(dramatic music)

- [Thief] Back!

I mean it!

- [Woman] Let me go!

- Hold it, hold it!

(guns fire)

(woman screams)

- Okay, Pete, take care of the girl, will ya?

Joe, seal off the building.

Nobody gets out until they're personally eyeballed

by one of us.

(dramatic music)

(people chattering)

I'm Sergeant Crowley with the Police Department.

I was talking on the radio with a man named Saunders.

- That's me, Adam Saunders.

- We don't need anymore excitement today,

that's for certain.

- I want to compliment you,

you did a nice job of calling out those descriptions.

- Thank you, sergeant, but I had a great deal of help

from my secretary here, Kathleen.

- [Kathleen] We all did what we could.

- Was she hurt?

- No, not physically.

It's just the sight of those guns.

- What happened downstairs?

- Well, so far we've only got one of them.

- What about the securities?

- We think they're still in the building

with the number two man.

- I see.

Which one have you stopped?

- The one in the sweater.

- I hope he gets life imprisonment.

- I'm afraid he bought more than that for himself, sir.

He's dead.

- Oh.

- But I'd like to impress upon all of you

the importance of not touching anything

that the suspects might have handled

until latent prints can get here, okay?

Now, I'd like to walk through

the very stages of the robbery with you.

- Oh, surely.

You see, Kathleen and I were at this desk.

(dramatic music) (water splashing)

- Has anybody touched these files since the robbery?

- Well, not that I know of, sergeant.

- And they were picking and choosing?

- Certainly looked that way.

He located one drawer, opened it,

and took out only those securities.

- Buckley Industries.

- He took 500 securities valued at $1,00 each.

- Were they registered?

- Nope, just as good as cash.

- Real professionals, weren't they?

- That's possible, yeah.

- Possible?

They knew exactly what they wanted and they took it.

Then they disabled our entire telephone system

for their getaway.

- Where's that?

- Over here, sergeant.

Here it is.

- Who showed them where this was located?

- No one.

They seemed to know right where it was.

- Oh, they did, huh?

- As you can see we couldn't have gotten any help up here

without our security radio.

- Why cut your telephone

yet they leave this radio?

- Bad planning on their part, I'd say.

- Either that, or just lucky they didn't see that radio.

- Was this right here all the time?

- No, I brought it out of the vault.

- It was in the vault?

- Yes.

- The radio was in the vault in plain sight

and they don't touch it?

Yet your telephone wire box is so far out of the way

that you gotta go ut on safari to find it.

Just doesn't figure.

- Who knows the criminal mind, sergeant?

- Yeah, okay.

After they got the securities, then what?

- What did he say the population of this building was?

- 4,000.

Ain't that grand?

(suspenseful orchestral music)

(knocking)

- Thanks, I forgot my key.

- You're welcome, I'm sure.

(suspenseful orchestral music)

- I want somebody to get over to the coroner's office.

Get everything out of his pockets.

Thanks.

Yeah, I got the death report.

It's 04826.

You got it?

Okay.

We've identified the dead man.

His name is Travis, Nick Travis.

Does that name ring a bell with either one of you?

- Should it?

- That's just one of those questions

I have to ask, Mr. Saunders.

Well, I guess that pretty well wraps it up here for me.

I would like a list of all your employees,

and I don't mean just the ones here now,

but anybody who might've left for any reason

in the past five years.

- Certainly, but I have no reason to suspect...

- It's just routine, Mr. Saunders.

(phone rings)

I'm one of those guys who likes to touch all bases.

- Sergeant. - Yeah?

- This is for you.

- Oh, thanks.

- Yeah, Crowley.

- Bad news, Bill.

Number two made it out of here playing like an attorney

by the name of Jones.

- Yeah, right.

Okay, see what you can get outta this guy, Jones.

Shake the place down good, will ya?

- You know me, always on the case.

(suspenseful orchestral music)

- This a new game in town?

- You didn't have that thing introduced into evidence yet?

- Nope, not yet.

Comes in handy though,

walking in the dark from the courthouse to here.

That the Ashford robbery thing?

- You got it.

- Dick Tracy's been in heavy meditation here

for about two hours now.

- We're not paying attention to the fact

that it's three hours past the time

when my lovely wife puts dinner on the table for us.

- I also have a lovely lady that would appreciate

me being there before dessert.

- Listen, why don't you two guys split?

We'll get back to this tomorrow.

We're on overtime now anyway.

- Thank you, Bill.

- Thank you, William.

- Good night.

- [Pete] Anything I can do, just give a call.

- Night, Pete.

It's really got you going in circles, huh?

- I don't know, it's just so much here that doesn't fit.

Something's missing.

I don't mean the $500,000 dollars in securities

or suspect either.

- Bill?

- Uh-huh?

- Don't stay up too late.

- You going?

- Yeah, I'm really bushed.

Being in court does that to me.

- See you tomorrow.

- Maybe we could melt this down

and take a vacation on the silver.

- Maybe so.

- Tally-ho.

- See you tomorrow.

(dramatic music)

- Sergeant Crowley.

- Yeah?

- I'm Savage.

- You're what?

- Nina Savage, that's my name.

I work R and I.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

- That's okay, you should hear some of the guys around here.

When I was in high school I used to get a lot of ribbing.

But these policemen,

you wouldn't believe the way they torture my last name.

- I believe it.

What do you got there, Savage?

- The records you wanted.

My supervisor had me bring them up.

I don't get much chance to deliver stuff around here.

- That's too bad.

Why's that?

- My supervisor.

I guess she thinks I'll get pregnant or something.

She says I flirt too much with the policemen.

- I see.

Thanks very much.

- Sergeant?

You married?

- Ecstatically.

(doorbell buzzes)

(rapid knocking)

- Okay, okay!

I'm coming.

I'm coming.

Who is it?

- [Bill] Sergeant Crowley.

May I come in?

- I suppose I've been expecting you.

So, I've got a record.

- Yeah, for grand theft.

- That was more than five years ago.

- Maybe I better read you your rights

before we go any further.

- I know my rights.

There's no need.

- Why don't you get dressed and then we'll talk, okay?

You don't happen to have a gun in the house, do you?

- No.

(phone ringing)

Hello.

What?

You stop that!

Stop that!

You should've caught them all,

don't you see what's going to happen?

(gun fires) (glass shatters)

(woman screaming) (dramatic music)

(Bill thuds)

(tires screeching)

(gun firing)

(dramatic music)

- It's okay, Kathleen, he's gone.

- Oh my god.

Help me.

(sobs) Please help me.

(dramatic music)

- I've been working there about three months.

Just a couple of weeks ago I was having lunch,

I really feeling good, you know,

about the job and my life,

I looked up he's just...

Hanging over me like a leech.

- It would've been this guy, right?

- Spiker.

And the other one, Travis, he was outside the restaurant.

- Would you like some coffee?

- Thank you.

They already found out where I worked.

They'd planned the job, they thought I was gonna help them,

but I wouldn't do it.

- You new about it before it went down.

- Yeah, but don't you understand?

I didn't know what to do.

I mean, Spiker had me scared to death.

I figured if Mr. Saunders found about my background

I'd lose my job.

I didn't know what to do.

So I'm the one who called the police.

I called about the time I thought they'd be in the building.

- Why didn't you identify yourself?

- Mr. Saunders walked in right in the middle of the call.

But I did what I could!

- But you did do something.

- Look, we got the call.

And we got it before the robbery,

but as far as doing what you could, Kathleen,

no, you...

You did what was safest for you at the time.

- Well, what do you want from me?

- Just that I think you could've done more.

I think you should've done more.

- I think she knows that now too, Bill.

- Thank you.

- No, don't thank me.

You thank him.

He's the one who brought you here to help you.

- Yeah, well, if I'm going to nail this guy

I better get it in gear.

Pepper, you drop Kathleen off at the office, right?

- Bright and early before court.

- [Kathleen] Sergeant Crowley.

- Yeah?

- Thank you for understanding.

- You're welcome.

See you tomorrow.

Have fun in court.

- Good night.

Is the coffee alright?

Or would you like a stiff drink?

- After this day, what do you think?

- Come on.

- Went to the Ashford building this morning when it opened,

showed these around.

- Yeah, what did you come up with?

- I came up dry.

Mr. Personality here scored at the coffee shop.

- I'll probably make commander for this.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Joe went to the Ashford building this early this morning

when they opened up showing some mugshots around.

What do you got, Pete?

- Well, both of them spent at least 20 minutes

at separate tables drinking coffee

yesterday before the robbery.

There are two eye witnesses.

So that leaves them on the 16th floor coffee shop.

- 20 minutes, one floor down, drinking coffee,

why would they do that?

Kathleen, you got an idea why they'd do that?

- Kill time, I guess.

- Yeah, but I mean, why?

For what purpose?

- Listen, you all keep at it.

I don't wanna be late for you know where.

Ciao.

- See ya.

- I feel so wanted.

See you all later.

- Thank you.

- What's next on the agenda?

- Surveillance, Pete.

Put a team on Spiker's known hangouts,

associates, you know, the works.

- Need us?

- No, I want you to relieve Grant and Meyers.

I've got them staked out at the address

on this rent receipt we found at Travis'.

- That's good.

That'll give us a chance to catch up on a little boredom.

- Don't knock it, little buddy, don't pay.

- What about me?

You know, I have to go to work too.

- I'm not sure you'd be safe.

- He won't go back to the Ashford building,

not with all that security.

- Maybe I better take you back.

(suspenseful orchestral music)

- All clear?

- Just making sure.

- Thank you for not telling the boss about.

- Let me tell you something,

it's nobody's business about your record.

And it's certainly not my business to broadcast it.

- You're a very nice man.

- I'm terrific.

- Well, anyway, thank you.

- For what?

- For caring.

- Oh!

- [Bill] Mr. Saunders.

- It's early.

Anything new?

- As a matter of fact there is.

We have a suspect to look for.

- That's progress.

I spent the day yesterday explaining to my board

about that half million dollar loss.

This will at least take the edge off for today.

- I tell ya, if we have any luck at all

we should have something for you in a few days.

- I certainly hope so.

- I gotta get back to it.

See you.

See you.

- Thanks for the lift, sergeant.

- [Bill] Any time.

- He was serious, there are some good prospects?

- He is an incredible detective.

Somehow he's already gotten a line on the other man,

all he's got to do is track him down.

- Good, excellent.

I saw the way you were looking at the good sergeant.

Would there be an attraction brewing?

- I'm attracted to a lot of things.

Especially executive types.

- Listen, I have a meeting with the old man now,

but perhaps we could have lunch a little later?

- Sure.

(dramatic orchestral music)

Jannie, could you take my calls for me?

I have to run an errand.

Thank you.

(suspenseful orchestral music)

I missed you.

You came a little too close with those bullets last night.

- I wouldn't hurt you for anything in the world.

I love you, Kathleen.

I saw some cops at the apartment,

not more than 15 minutes ago.

- Yeah, they found a rent receipt on Travis.

- Dammit.

There goes the mail drop.

Everything's gone wrong.

The damned heist.

Losing Travis, everything.

- Not everything.

There's still us, Sal.

There's us.

And I love you.

I just love you.

I got another idea for us.

But first, just hold me.

Keep on holding me.

It's gonna be us, Sal, just you and me.

- The jury's out!

- Magic fingers.

You sure know how to make a guy feel good.

- How come you only say sweet somethings

when you're getting your back rubbed?

- That's not true,

I say sweet something to you all the time.

- Mostly when you're getting a back rub.

- Well, I've had this strange affinity

with this kind of a back rub ever since I worked vice.

Don't stop.

Hit me again, but don't stop.

- This case really has you tense.

All full of knots back here.

- So many why's, Pepper.

- Why?

- Why?

Why did they use the staircase?

Why did they knock out the telephone

and not the radio?

Why'd they drink coffee for 20 minutes?

Why'd they take only a selected series of securities?

Why?

- Sometimes criminals don't have explanations

for what they do.

Push aside some of the why's.

- Last night you spent with Kathleen.

- Mm-hmm, right.

- What about her?

I mean, what'd she...

What kind of person is she?

- She's very nice.

Very warm, very worried.

- Is she honest?

- I don't know.

I'd like to say yes.

- But?

- But, you have too many why's.

- I'll tell you something,

I'd like to trust her too but somehow I can't.

(phone ringing)

Criminal Conspiracy, Crowley.

Yeah.

About what?

Okay, I'll be there right after lunch.

Thanks.

That was Adam Saunders, he wants to see me.

He seems to have some concerns about our girl too.

(suspenseful orchestral music)

- Don't you get tired of those things?

- Beats the hell outta thinking.

Besides, where am I gonna get my protein?

- You get protein from fish.

- Figured you had to fry on a stakeout.

- [Dispatch] 12Y52, come in.

- 12Y52, go ahead.

- [Dispatch] You have relief rolling in,

meet me at 4th and Gramercy.

- [Dispatch] That's a roger.

(suspenseful orchestral music)

(engine revs)

(suspenseful orchestral music)

(dramatic music)

- [Bill] Oh, okay.

- You two look like you conspired

to do something devilish.

What is it?

- What's this?

This is a paper I dug out of a stairwell door.

I had it analyzed and identified by the crime lab.

It matches your office stationary.

You jammed that door lock, Kathleen.

You didn't refuse to help them.

Let's see, what else?

Oh yeah, the telephone connector box,

you told them right where that was too, didn't ya?

- Alright, yes.

Yes, I fixed the door.

And I did everything that they told me to do.

Is that what you want to hear?

- I wanna hear the truth.

- Neither one of us have heard much of that.

- I'm sorry I lied to you, Mr. Saunders.

I did tell you the truth about trying to stop the robbery.

I did everything I could possibly do.

- Keep going.

- They made me fix the door.

And then they wanted to know the layout of the office.

They wanted to know where the wire box was for the phone,

I told them that.

(laughs) I did it because I wanted to keep my job.

Spiker threatened to tell Mr. Saunders about my background.

- You should have told us in the beginning, Kathleen.

- Oh really?

Then I would've had no job, nothing.

Sergeant, really, I wasn't a part of it.

I mean, I didn't tell them about the radio

because I knew there'd be one more way to stop them.

- What do you mean one more way?

- I telephoned you before the robbery, don't you remember?

I warned you.

I was afraid.

It wasn't just because of my job.

I mean, those bullets last night they were very real.

- You should have been totally honest

from the start, Kathleen.

I'm sorry.

You'll receive a week's severance pay.

And that's it.

(Kathleen sobbing)

- What am I gonna do?

- You can cooperate with us fully, Kathleen.

- Am I going to go to jail?

- It's up to the DA.

With the threats and your fear of Spiker, I don't know.

I think in the long run you won't go to jail.

But that's a decision you can help along.

- How?

- By helping me.

By telling me everything you know

and don't hold anything back.

- Spiker said that...

They'd get the securities out of the building

through the mail.

- The mail?

The mail cart?

That's what they were doing

one floor down at the coffee shop.

- And then, that package that they were in,

that was deliberately short on postage,

so they would go to the post office then

to pick that up.

- And then what?

- Spiker said they would pick up the mail

and then they would go to the warehouse

and wait for The Ming to leave.

- What's The Ming?

- It's a freighter.

I think it's going to Hong Kong.

- Oh, sure.

Oh, there it is.

Beijong Ming, docked at pier 40.

- Leaves at 6:30.

That gives me half an hour.

- Look, let me go with you.

Spiker'll be in a disguise but I can spot him.

Please.

- Call my office, tell them where I've gone,

and tell them to meet me at pier 40.

- Right away.

- Let's go.

(dramatic music) (tires screeching)

- Police department.

Pier 40.

(tires screeching)

(suspenseful orchestral music)

- I'm scared.

- You just stay put.

- Bill, I'm sorry.

I guess I just wasn't strong enough

to stand on my own two feet from the beginning.

- Look, everybody needs a little help now and then.

- You be very careful, my friend.

- Stay put.

(dramatic orchestral music)

Spiker?

Spiker, where are you?

(dramatic orchestral music)

(gun fires)

(dramatic music)

- Oh, thank god you're safe.

- I think it's Spiker.

I'd like you to come and take a look.

(suspenseful orchestral music)

- That's him.

He tried to kill you, didn't he?

- He found the package he mailed.

All the stolen securities.

(dramatic music)

- You did just fine, Sergeant Crowley.

- What's is it?

- That great cop's brain,

you just can't quite sort it out yet, can you?

Didn't really matter which one of you were killed,

I'd just take care of the other one.

Your bullet killed Spiker,

and now I'll use his gun on you, simple.

Don't get your hopes up.

There won't be any help coming.

- That call was never made, sergeant.

Tell me,

is it all beginning to sink in?

- Now it's beginning to sink in, sure.

Let me guess,

the real securities were gone,

they were stolen before the robbery ever took place, right?

- That's very good.

You're just a little late figuring it out.

- So you got Travis and Spiker to stage what they thought

was a real robbery,

and then you set them up.

You get caught in the building,

only that didn't work,

because Spiker got out.

And there would have been real trouble

if he found out that...

Well, if he tried to spend

any of those phony securities there, huh?

- Well, we don't have that problem anymore.

I mean, with the crook and cop who caught him both dead.

- And you're both free to spend the half million.

- Really nice knowing you, sergeant.

- Just for curiosity, I mean I...

What'd you do with the real securities?

- Hidden in a safe in my home.

Clever?

- That's great.

That's where I'll pick them up

when I put together a search warrant.

'Cause you're both under arrest.

(gun clicks)

- I got the bullets here in my pocket.

Isn't that right, Spiker?

- You dirty, rotten, lying...

- Easy. - Hold it.

Hey, hey, it's over, it's over.

- What the man's saying is, you're busted, pal.

Right, Crowley?

- That's right, Anderson.

- Congratulations, sergeant.

- Now, I'll read you those rights.

- What locked it up for you, Bill?

- What locked it up for me?

I think logic, deduction, a certain oriental inscrutability

that I picked up watching a lot of Charlie Chan movies

on the late show.

Not to mention,

a modicum of my own personal genius.

- Aside from your brilliance, what really did it?

- It's simple.

Once that kid led us to Spiker,

and we discovered those securities were phonies,

Spiker came apart at the seams.

I mean, he just couldn't wait roll over and play dead.

- Charlie Chan'd be proud of you.

Hi, boys.

- Hey.

- So, our guests are booked and packed up for the duration.

- What about the bail?

- Well, commissioner thought it should at least equal

the securities theft.

Half million.

- Terrific.

- We thought you might like that.

You know what else would be terrific?

- I do.

- Listen, why don't you guys take off for the night?

- Good idea, Bill.

- Why, thank you, William.

Come on. - You won me again, Joe.

- Night, fellas.

(upbeat music)

- I think these reports can wait 'til morning.

But can you?

(Pepper laughs)

(upbeat music)

(dramatic music)
