What happened?

Nice race, Danny.

Hurt yourself, Danny?

Stand away.

What brought on this attack?

Exertion.

Did you let him enter that race?

Listen. He begged me
every day for a week.

I thought it better for his morale.

You are an idiot.

But I never thought you'd allow a boy
with severe asthma to go into a race.

At this altitude.

It wasn't Bill's fault, Miss Evans.

I wanted to.

I won, didn't I Bill.

Go back to your business, Bill.
I'll take care of him.

I'll give him something to quiet him.

Danny, I want you to
be a brave little man.

No.

Not the needle.

Please just give me a pill, but
don't stick me with a needle.

You need something that
works faster, Danny.

No.

No, no.

Last time, you promised me.

I know I did, Danny.
But I won't hurt you.

No.

No, no!

Are you alright, sonny?

Are you the kind that's
been lost all night?

Are you Danny Lambert?

Hey. Everybody and his brother
has been looking for you.

The rangers, the scouts, campers.

Come on, sonny.

Come on. You've had a tough time.

Can you walk?

I hurt my leg but I can walk alright.

Are you a ranger?

No. I am not a ranger but I'll
take care you, sonny. Come on.

It was on the radio about you.

Your dad came up to the hotel last night.

Would you take me to him?
Please, mister.

Sure, sonny.

We'll phone the rangers and
they will come up in a jeep.

Or maybe with horses.

Come on. Let's keep going.

It said on the radio that your daddy
owns the Columbia Tyre & River Company.

That's right.

Do you live there?
- Sometimes we live there.

Then we have a house in
Santa Barbara and one in Denver.

You are a lucky boy.
Your daddy is a very rich man.

Mom can't travel much anymore.
She has got a weak heart.

They always have phones in these things.

Come on, let's go.

I don't want to, mister.

Now listen, sonny.

If I leave you down here you're
just going to wander away again.

Come on. I won't let you fall off.

Up you go.

Look, son. Don't worry.

I'll be right behind you.
I won't let you fall. Come on.

Alright. In you go.

Nah. They took the phone out.

Sit down, kid. Rest.

You must be almost worn out.

Too bad there's no phone.

Here, kid.

Some crackers and jelly. Hungry?

Take me to my daddy.

That is just what I'm doing.

Once I get word to the rangers they
will be out here in an hour so.

Now, you wait it out.
Stay here and rest while I go for help.

Okay?
- Okay.

You will hurry, won't you?
- You bet I will.

Now, you eat something
and then take a nap.

I don't know how far I will have to hike.

It's an awful long way down
to the ground there, isn't it.

So don't you go out there.
You might fall off.

You just sit tight and I will be back.

Okay?

Mr Lambert, these things always seem
very grave while they're happening.

But nine times out of
ten they turn out okay.

Last summer, we had a little baby girl
lost up here for three days and nights.

She was found.

Sleeping peacefully in
a cranny in the rocks.

Yes. I know. But Danny isn't well.

He suffers from asthma attacks.
He has been gone all night.

I've had search parties
out all night too.

Look. Let's put on more men.

Maybe someone with bloodhounds.

I am willing to pay a
substantial reward, Mr Erickson.

We are paid, sir.

This is all part of our job.
We have handled these things before.

I've got every available
ranger out on search duty.

It may take another hour or four
or five. Or it may take all night.

But I'm sure I'll have some
good news for you shortly.

Well, don't phone me at our rooms.

My wife must not know of this.

She isn't well.

Alright, sir. I'll phone the
desk and you call me back.

Excuse me, please.

Mr Lambert, there's a phone call for you.

Thank you, son.

I appreciate all that you
are doing, Mr Erickson.

That booth, sir.

Thank you, son.
- Thank you, sir.

Yes?

Hello?

This is Robertson Lambert speaking.

Mr Lambert. Now listen.
Listen very, very carefully.

Your boy isn't lost. He is safe.

"And he's in good hands."

"Say anything to anybody and
you will never see him again."

"Now feel under the shelf in your booth
there. You will find an envelope."

Have you seen a kid wandering
around here anywhere?

How old is the kid?
- Eight or nine.

Dark hair. Blue eyes.

Wearing a Boys Camp uniform.

The mountain rangers and he
has got a bad case of asthma.

Oh, the kid that's missing?
No, I haven't seen him.

But a bunch of scouts just
went over that ridge there.

Yeah. That is a search party.

Just a minute please, doctor.

I hope that is an emergency call.

Yeah. It sure is.

My partner fell climbing on the rocks.

You want us to help?

Where is your camp?
- Comanche Lake.

But it will be alright.

You got all you can do finding that kid.

You read that yet?

Yes.

"Can you make up that shipment?"

Yes. I think so. My Denver office ..

Just answer yes or no.

"Can you get it together today?"

I think so.

If you need more time, take it.
I don't want any slip-ups.

No.

No.

I'll get it together today.

The sooner my son is ..

Shut up.

Alright. Get it ready.

Now, listen.

Go to the Cliffhanger Bar.

Sit at the table closest to
the bridge at the south end.

Be there from five onward
tonight until you're contacted.

"Got that?"

Yes.

Don't miss.

Mr Lambert.

Mr Lambert.

Right here, son.

I have a message for you.

Go on. What is it?

You're supposed to go and check
your car in the parking lot.

Thank you.

Hey, what's that?

Some knucklehead on a cycle.

What goes up must come down.

A pretty stupid place to take a ride.

What's the idea?

This is a foot trail.
It is closed to vehicles.

I was just doing a little cow-trailing.

You know, you can get yourself
killed off these cliffs.

Let me have your identification.

Mr Lambert. Come in.

Mr Erickson.

My son has been kidnapped.

Kidnapped?

How long have you known this?

Since that phone call when we talked
on the terrace yesterday morning.

And I suppose you were
warned not to report it?

They threatened to kill Danny.

They threatened to tell my wife.
What would you have done?

I paid them the money.

I followed every order they gave me.

They promised to release
Danny this morning.

They didn't tell me where.

Driving up and down
these roads looking ..

I can't stand any more.

Get me the FBI office in Denver.

"We tipped off our rangers
about the kidnapping."

"We warned them to silence."

"They were ordered to search all cars."

"To list all occupants."

"And bring in suspicious persons."

"The father had let
eighteen hours go by."

"Eighteen precious hours."

"National Guardsmen and other
searchers were allowed to continue."

"So as not to alarm the kidnapper."

"Should he still be in the park."

Right. Form a line ten feet apart
and head south through the woods.

"At Pinnacle Camp grounds .."

"The motorcyclist who had
delivered the ransom money."

"Was picked up as he was
packing to leave the park."

"At about this time the
Royal Gorge Limited .."

"Made an unscheduled stop
in the heart of the canyon."

"And special agent James
Madden of the FBI got off."

"En-route from Denver
to Salt Lake City."

"Madden had been contacted
by the Denver field office."

"As the agent then closest
to Royal Gorge Park."

"Mr Lambert identified the cyclist,
whose name was Driscoll."

"And he admitted his part in the case."

Sure, I delivered the package.

This guy came to me and
gave me five hundred bucks.

So I cow-trailed it up to Lookout
Point and put the package in the rocks.

And that is all there is to it, mister.

I am still holding you for the FBI.

The FBI?

Holy smokes. What am I into?

You got to make a charge.

I have a charge.

Reckless driving where only
mountain goats should go.

Besides, the rim of the gorge trail
needs a shovel crew after your ride.

"Our net caught a few strange fish."

"A girl who was wanted in
Grand Junction for shoplifting."

"She thought the net was
for her so she blabbed it out."

"And a bigamist."

"Whose talents certainly
weren't obvious."

"A scared mobster from the
plush pitfalls of Nevada .."

"Seemed to have
possibilities as a suspect."

"I tried to reassure the father that
everything was going to be alright."

"Personally, I was very glad
to welcome Mr Madden aboard."

"And I'm sure Mr Lambert was
relieved to have the FBI on hand."

"I briefed Madden on the
happenings so far in the case."

"And continued with the investigation."

"Meanwhile, a careful check of all cars
continued at every exit from the park."

Sorry to hold you up, sir.

This one is okay, Mack.

On you go.

Can I see your park permit, sir.
And your driver's licence.

Thank you.

Is this car registered in
your name, Mr Hansen?

Yeah, that's right.

We'd like to take a
look in the back, sir.

Been fishing, eh?

Those are some nice rainbows.
Where did you get them?

Where I was camping. Comanche Lake.

Comanche, Lake, eh?

Sure are nice ones.

This must be yours, huh?

Are you a peace officer?

No. Just a citizen.

I'm camping alone. You know.
A guy likes to have a little security.

Did you declare this when
you came in the park?

Why, no.

I'll take your keys, Mr Hansen.

Why?

I'd like you to explain to the
Chief Ranger about this gun.

Firearms aren't allowed in
national parks, Mr Hansen.

A guy has got to have some protection.

From what, the birds?

I hear you had good luck fishing.

I caught my limit. Ten days straight.

Rainbows.

For my own personal information.

Where did you snag all these rainbows?

Comanche Lake.

Erickson.

The helicopters.

Well, you'd better have them
scan the walls of the gorge.

And search the Copper Gulch area.

And warn the pilots about air
currents and downdrafts.

Have them take off late afternoon.

Okay, Mack?

So, you caught rainbows in Comanche Lake.

That is very interesting.
And highly unusual.

As there has been no fish in Comanche
Lake since the fall when we poisoned it.

The trout were sick with
a contagious fungus.

We won't restock it until next spring.

"Ranger Atkins identified
Hansen as the man .."

"Who had made a call from an emergency
box in the high country the day before."

"From the conversation .."

"Atkins gathered that Hansen
was talking to a doctor."

"Hansen had explained to the ranger .."

"That his partner at their camp on
Comanche Lake had been hurt."

"Atkins checked later
and tried to help."

"And found no camp and no partner."

"Hansen didn't remember
the doctor's name."

We found this in Hansen's truck.
- It was inside the spare tire.

You said you took down the numbers?

Yes, sir.

I didn't have much time.
Just the last bill in each packet.

'L-2-3'.

'9-2-9'.

'2-0-4-B'.

Where is Danny?

Tell me, where is my son?

I paid you the money.

You told me you would let him go.

Well, answer.

What have you done?

Mr Lambert.

If I had my way I'd kick your
guts all over this room.

You take it from here, Mr Madden.
And good luck.

You've had the luck.

By nabbing a kidnap suspect so quickly.

There can be no luck
until that boy is found.

"Reports on the suspect came in from the
identification division in Washington."

"Mr Arthur Hansen's true name
turned out to be Gerald Barker."

"Plus a host of aliases."

"He was a man with a busy but
not imposing criminal record."

"His favorite professional interest
seemed to be extortion."

So, a wealthy kid is missing
from a summer camp.

This happens every
summer all over the U.S.

I am waiting around
for just such a set up.

Then this Lambert kid runs away.

I know his old man is loaded.

So I sent kidnap notes.
And make it look like the real thing.

Like that jacket, for instance.

Then I wait around to collect the money.

But I don't know this kid.
I never saw him before.

Never been near him.

There has been no kidnapping.

I just gambled on the chance ..

That the kid would be missing long
enough for me to collect the money.

I won my bet.

The kid will turn up. You will see.

"That was the position
that Barker took."

"And he stuck to it spite
of all our questioning."

"Barker refused to reveal the hiding
place of the rest of the ransom money."

"And of course, we didn't have the
authority to hammer the truth from him."

"Which is to be regretted."

"He denied having accomplices."

"As for the jacket he
sent to Mr Lambert."

"Barker insisted he had
bought it in Canyon City."

"And he did have a
purchase slip to prove it."

"I went down to Canyon City to
verify this last piece of evidence."

"Canyon City is only a few miles from
the entrance to the Royal Gorge Park."

"Despite laboratory tests."

"We had been unable to tie the ransom
jacket up with Danny Lambert."

"So, I didn't have too much hope."

"It was a plain blue denim type such as
millions of kids around the country .."

"Wear in the summertime."

"The jacket was too
commonplace to pinpoint."

"And the owner couldn't identify
it as coming from his store."

"The sales check was dated the 18th."

"The day Danny disappeared."

"And was positively identified."

"Apparently, in this one instance."

"Barker was telling the truth."

"He had bought the jacket."

"When I showed Barker's
photograph to the clerks."

"None of them recognised the suspect."

"I informed our Denver office that
Barker's story on the jacket checked."

"The agent in charge said that the
United States District Attorney .."

"Preferred a bird in the hand to
one out in the wild blue yonder."

"The government felt it had a straight
extortion case and nothing more."

"And that is what we ended up with."

"An extortion case, pure and simple."

"Barker pled guilty to extortion."

"Because of his manner in court
his frozen face and icy eyes."

"The newsmen gave him
the name 'The Iceman'."

"And the judge gave him 1-5 years."

"The Iceman was sent to Cascabel
Island prison to serve his sentence."

"Despite its non-penal exterior."

"Cascabel, because of its
geographical location .."

"Is considered a maximum
security institution."

"Cascabel, incidentally, is
Spanish for rattlesnake."

"On good behaviour Barker would
be out in a matter of months."

"And who wouldn't be on good behaviour
with $200,000 hidden away somewhere?"

"The concept of modern penology .."

"Is to rehabilitate regardless
of the nature of the crime."

"So that a man does not just disappear
into prison and become lost."

"In order to accomplish
the primary objective."

"The penologist realizes the criminal
still has habits and emotions."

"That he has to be kept
locked up and guarded .."

"Does not mean that he is
any less a human being."

"For the first thirty days
like any other newcomer."

"Barker was assigned to a specially
segregated orientation cell block."

"The new fish, like our Iceman."

"Are studied by the various
divisional officers of the prison."

"When they added their
findings together .."

"They had about as thorough a picture
of Barker a study could give."

"By the time the Iceman had finished
his 30-day quarantine period."

"I made it a point to go
down to Cascabel."

"To confer with Warden Machek."

Well, your Iceman has been
studied, psyched and analysed.

He thinks he's tough and he is tough.

As cold as a clam and as likeable.

I wanted him assigned to
work as tough as he is.

But the man has a hernia
that needs attention.

Did he agree to an operation?

No. Violently. No, he refused.

He said he would take care of
it himself when he got out.

A 'real doctor in a real
hospital' as he put it.

Probably afraid of talking
under the anaesthetic.

Yes, that is it.

Since Barker is so tough
and uncooperative ..

I've assigned him to the lion's den.

You'll remember some of these.

All lifers. Old-timers.

Prison wise.

'Machine-gun Mason'.

He started out by knocking off
husbands to order for itchy wives.

And did some work for the mobs.

He ran with the Corpus crowd for a while.

He was suspected of being the machine
gunner in the Kansas City massacre.

'Benny Kelly'.

He is the youngest of the lot.

Went like a comet through the
mid-west about ten years ago.

The 'mad-dog' type.

He kills for excitement
because he likes it.

He never made a nickel out of bloodshed.

'Alamo Smith'.

Border killer.

Narcotic runner. Wetback smuggler.

You know, he isn't a bad guy.

If he is kept locked up.

'Rollo Lamar'.

Bank robber.

Killer and strategist.

He became so good at
planning bank jobs ..

The gangs used to use
him as a consultant.

If and when he ever gets out of here.

The states of Missouri, Iowa, Georgia
and New York have holds on him.

Well. There they are.

The wormy aristocracy of Cascabel.

The Iceman will be in proper
company any minute now.

If his icy outlook ever cracks.

If the grapevine here sends up
the slightest smoke signal ..

I'll let you know.
- Thanks, Warden.

And remember. Anything at all.

There is slimy Barker the kidnapper.

You dirty rotten snatcher.

You fink you.

We don't want you.

You're a yellow kidnapper, Barker.

Hey, rat Iceman.

Suck it up a little, Iceman.

This is home. In here.

Well.

The Iceman cometh.

The kid killer.

Boy, that's really scraping
the bottom of the barrel.

I am Barker. Gerry Barker.

Who asked you?

As long as you are here.

Why don't we forget who you are?

What are you trying to do?
Blow us all to kingdom come?

The safety valve is not working.

Best pack the steam
into the other boiler.

Into the heating system?

They're cleaning that boiler.

Do what I tell you.

Hey, Mason.

Close the door to the boiler.

We are going to pack steam into it.

You ought to tell them about ..

Dipsy.

And kick all our plans down the drain?

Close the valve to the outlet pipe.

Let her blow.

Let me out of here!

Please let me out.

Let me out of here! Please help me.

I'd give the old ranch house.

And my best Bramber bull.

For just one hour with Sadie.

Sadie was from Amarillo.

She was as pretty as a sunset.

Sweet and loving.

Besides, her old man didn't get wise.

Alamo, you shouldn't talk like that.
You are here to be rehabilitated.

You leave me be, Rollo.

Well, I would sure give a lot to
be up in the mountains fishing.

Maybe you could hook another kid?

I didn't snatch that kid.
I never even saw him.

I got one-to-five for extortion.
Are you guys smarter than the FBI?

The FBI don't spend much
time in penal institutions.

Of which this one happens to be a model.

They don't know how we think.

But we know how you think.

Listen, you.

We got to live with you and we got
to see you and we got to smell you.

We don't have to listen to you.

Now shut up.

Come on, get up. Come on.

Come on.
- Don't be a jerk.

You want to get the hole?
For a creep like him?

That is very wisely said, gentlemen.

I am only a poor nameless number.

[ Tannoy ]

"All inmates. Cell Block D."

"Prepare for special count."

"Stand against the
back wall facing out."

Sing out your names.

Mason.

Kelly.
- Lamar.

Smith.
- Barker.

Somebody must be missing.

Everybody around here is missing.

But nobody misses us.

Hey, you guys. You want this magazine?

What's he got, Benny?

What is it?

The lottery.

You can go to prison for that, you know.

Well, who cares?

If that's something for the guys on the
inmate council I'd like to get in on it.

You want to get in on something good?

Look. We're fighting a war around
here and nobody is neutral.

Spies wind up with
a shiv in their kidneys.

You saw something you shouldn't see.
Put it in your unconscious. Forget it.

Don't worry about me. I'm no rat.

No. You are no rat.

You just kill kids.

Any questions?

[ Guards whistle ]

"As we continued with our investigation
of the Lambert case on the outside."

"The reports from Cascabel indicated the
Iceman was neither melting or cracking."

"Barker automatically became
the most hated man in Cascabel."

"He had done the worst
thing that man can do."

"He had harmed a child."

"As society had locked
him away from itself."

"So his fellow inmates locked
him out of their lives."

"He had plenty of time to
himself to think things over."

Why couldn't they have sent
that creep to Alcatraz?

Let's fix it so he makes the hole.

Yes. I can figure. He ain't
no use to any of us anyway.

That is where you are wrong.

This guy is an asset
to our burdened lives.

The ego of every man in this joint
is going up a hundred percent.

There is someone you can look
down on and feel superior to.

You know, I think I'll
give this creep a break.

Yeah.

There is probably a break in
it for yourself somewhere.

You are so right.

Look at the king fish.

What do you know?
Getting chummy with the Iceman.

We had better lay off Barker
until we get the drift.

You weren't supposed to see
what happened to Dipsy.

Who is Dipsy?

He's the guy that had the
unfortunate accident in the boiler.

Around here, we say it's like ..

Being pardoned by God.

I suppose by now you got an inkling, huh?

If I have it's my business.

What you saw, forget. If you don't
I'll step on you and squash you.

Look, you.

Top dog. Big wheel.

Boss con. Or whatever you
rate around this iron lung.

You don't scare me.

Okay, so all the pimps and perverts and
pot-lickers have no time for me. Fine.

But nobody around this
joint calls me a squealer.

I appreciate your ethical outlook.

Well, appreciate it someplace else
as this hate business goes two ways.

Have I ever said anything
to deprecate you?

Have I ever said anything against you?

On the contrary.

You have got my respect.

Do you realise that the FBI have
solved every kidnapping but one ..

Since they took jurisdiction
twenty years ago?

And you are the guy
that got away with it.

Believe me, boy.
You have got my admiration.

There wasn't any kidnapping.

You are smart. Real smart.

Cop a plea and serve a
short term for extortion.

It's worth it too.

Unless your accomplices
waste the money or spend it.

I get it. It is clever.

You work alone.

That is real clever.

If you are smart, why share?

I'd like to include you in a
little adventure I have in mind.

Yeah. That's cosy.

The one guy everyone wants to spit on.

Wait a minute.

Intelligence I admire.

Besides, you have got an inkling.

I can't give you all the details right
now but I'll tell you this much.

I intend to lose the motherly
care of this institution.

Crash out? No, no. Not me.

I am serving my time with
good time every month.

Oh, I get it. Like working.

You serve your time at $40,000 a year
and after you leave you collect, huh?

Look. Just leave me out of this.
Just leave me out.

You got your plans. I got mine.

What's with that weasel brain of yours?
Have you gone screwy?

It said on the radio he hid his
take in the Royal Gorge Park.

If we go after it we get nailed.

We may as well have
your comment too, Junior.

Why did you tell that creep anything?

He'll quote it to the warden.

Now hear me.

There's fifty, maybe a hundred guys in
here know we're up to something fishy.

Would they turn us in?

May I say: not if they
were boiled in oil.

And Mr Barker won't rat on us either.
And I've got news for him.

He is going out with us.

He's our golden goose worth $200,000.

We'll never get to it.

That's right. Barker is still too hot.

The law will lay a big fat trap
for us if we go after that dough.

I've thought of that.
Believe me, I've thought of everything.

Now, the Iceman is going
to die in the escape.

Apparently die.

Any of you geniuses now
what 'apparently' means?

Apparently?
- Yeah.

Yeah. It means something
that ain't looks like it is.

That is excellent.

Now, I want all you guys to lay off him.

He's a walking map to buried treasure.

We're going to need him so bad when we
get on the outside. Get back to work.

The Iceman is on his way
up to the warden's office.

You told that creep too much.

He is going up front to
bubble it to the warden.

He will be in solitary in two hours.

Oh, stop it. He's not
going to rat on us.

Is everything ready?

Yeah.

The tunnel from the steam pipe
to the outfall. We are set.

Are the gadgets all made?

Yeah. Five sets.
I hope they work underwater.

Alright. Now, listen to me.

Tomorrow is the first of the month.

We go on nightshift.

The boat will be ready
any night after tonight.

The Iceman just came
from the warden's office.

He wanted the warden to change his cell.

To give him a different work detail.

That's all?
- That's all.

What did the warden say?

He would think about it.

Thanks, Randy. Get lost.

Well. Rollo was right again, wasn't he.

Now, I don't want the Iceman
to slip through my fingers.

Hey.

Take a look.

There he is.

That is my pigeon.

I'm going to kidnap a kidnapper
for the ransom he kidnapped for.

It is ironical and profitable.

"Because probable
kidnapping was involved .."

"Our local Denver office kept its
files open on the Lambert case."

"It was decided I interview again the
person who had last seen the boy alive."

"The nurse Emily Evans."

And the doctor also advised
against using the needle ..

Because of disturbing the boy further?

I don't recall, Mr Madden.

The day Danny disappeared, the
doctor was away. I was in charge.

One of those idiot playground directors.

You know, they think
athletics can cure anything.

Allowed Danny Lambert
to enter into a race.

Imagine. A child with
chronic severe asthma.

When he was brought to me at
the hospital he was suffering.

I merely tried to take the
quickest way of relieving him.

You see, Danny was no stranger to me.

I liked him and I wanted
to ease his attack.

Mr Madden.

I felt terrible over this whole thing.

To think that Danny ran away from me and
disappeared from the face of the earth.

You said Danny was no stranger.

You knew him before he
came to summer camp.

Right here in Denver.

His parents used to bring him
for allergy shots to Dr Reiner ..

When I worked for him three years ago.

Thank you, Miss Evans.

You've been very helpful.

Have I?

"A new fact."

"The name of Dr Reiner had not been
brought up in this connection before."

"But it had in another."

"It rang a bell in my brain."

"There it was in Barker's record."

"In 1951 he had attempted
to blackmail a Dr Reiner."

"And Emily Evans the nurse, and also the
last person to see the boy alive .."

"Had worked for Dr Reiner in 1951."

"So I interviewed Dr Reiner."

"A professional man of
the highest calibre."

"Yes. In 1951 he had been the
victim of attempted blackmail."

"It was a pure shakedown trying to get
the doctor in a compromising situation."

"The plan didn't work."

"The doctor refused to pay and refused
to prosecute over a fear of publicity."

"Why had he discharged Miss Evans?"

"Over the blackmail case?"

"No. She had nothing to do with that."

"But there had been a mistake
in his narcotic inventory."

"And no doctor can afford
irregularities in that."

"So he had discharged her."

"The life of Miss Evans it seemed,
would bear a little looking in to."

"We checked the records of
the Denver Nurses Registry."

"Emily Evans full name turned
out to be Emily Eurydice Evans."

"And she had a good record."

"Among other things .."

"She volunteered her professional skills
to help the blood bank without pay."

"The Red Cross worker was high in her
praise of Miss Evans cooperation."

"And suggested that I
myself cooperate by .."

"Giving a pint of blood."

"I was running out of leads."

"Rangers had turned up no
trace of the missing boy."

"Lambert had given me all
the information he could."

"But the Iceman wasn't
cracking in the slightest."

"And Miss Evans was spotless."

"I talked again to the manager
of the Cliffhanger Bar."

"With his help I located in
Canyon City a Terry Ripley .."

"Who had worked as a
bellhop during the summer."

"And had brought Mr Lambert the
message to go and check his car."

And what did the person look like who
gave you the message for Mr Lambert?

Well, gosh. I don't remember.

Well, was he a tall man or medium or ..?

No, no. It wasn't a man.

It was a lady.

A woman?

Yeah. She gave me fifty cents and
told me how to find Mr Lambert.

And then told me what to say.

And you don't remember her well
enough so you could identify her?

That's right. I don't.

Thanks, Terry.

Mr Madden.

There was one funny thing though.

She could have given him
the message herself.

She went right by where he was.

What was the reason she
gave you to have you do it?

She said she had to get
back to the hospital.

That she was on duty.

Thanks, Terry.

Thanks very much.

"After what Terry Ripley told me about
a woman who worked in a hospital .."

"Giving him the message, we turned
our attention back to nurse Evans."

"While she was on duty we gave her
apartment a thorough vacuuming."

"And found two objects
of great interest."

"A Kino gambling sheet from
Aubrey's club, Las Vegas, Nevada."

"It was dated by time clock."

"The date was three days after
Danny Lambert disappeared."

"The other object was
a whiskey decanter."

"An attractive piece of work."

"But more attractive to us because
we found Barker's fingerprints on it."

Miss Evans, do you know this man?

No. No, I don't.

Wait a minute.
I've seen that face in the papers.

That is the kidnap ..

The extortionist.

So you think he is a kidnapper too?

That was in the papers.

Now, Miss Evans.

Right after the boy vanished, you took
a week's leave and went to Las Vegas.

The hotel clerk said you kept checking
to see whether a Mr Hansen had arrived.

Yes. I ..

There is an old friend
of mine named Hansen.

Hansen was the name Barker was
using when the rangers arrested him.

Oh.

It is a mighty fine decanter.

You must be proud of it.
- What is it doing here?

The Iceman Mr Barker liked it too.

His fingerprints are all over it.

Let's go over this, Miss Evans.

You knew about the boy.

About his illness and his wealth.

You probably knew Barker ..

Because of the blackmail attempt
when you were working for Dr Reiner.

You might even have contacted Barker.

To suggest he kidnap Danny Lambert from
summer camp, where kids often get lost.

You are dreaming, mister. You prove it.

The boy ran from the hospital
in fear of the needle.

Later that night or the next morning.

He ran into the tender
arms of the Iceman.

It was extortion that you
sent him to prison for.

We have since proven him a kidnapper.

He hid Danny Lambert in
an abandoned fire tower.

We found the boy's
fingerprints and Barker's.

Danny had scribbled his
name here and there.

That is enough to prove kidnapping.

Although there is still
no trace of the child.

That is his case history
and nothing to do with me.

Except you put the jacket and the final
ransom instructions in Lambert's car.

You had the boy Terry Ripley give
Mr Lambert a message to go to his car.

Then flew to Las Vegas to meet Hanson,
or Barker, and then shared the ransom.

Except Barker was caught.

Now much of the money was your share?

None. I never saw any of it.

Oh, this is terrible.

He said he wouldn't hurt Danny.

Just get the money.

Matron.

Take her out and get her some coffee.
She can talk later.

Get a warrant for felony
kidnapping on Barker ..

And a court order releasing him to
our custody for trial on new charges.

Yes, sir.

You're next.

I ain't going.

Captain of the watch? Captain Arnold?

This is Handley. Power plant.

You got to swim for half
a mile out into the bay.

There is about 15-20 minutes
worth of oxygen in this tank.

Don't waste it.

I'm no skin diver. I can't even swim.

I haven't had much
practice myself lately.

Just pull the water into your
arms like you would a dame.

You will make it.

Come on, let's get out of here.
Go ahead, men.

I think it will be easier to swim
if we all take our shoes off.

Now don't forget.

If we get into enough water put your
mouthpiece on and turn the air valve on.

When you get to the end of the pipe ..

You'll be thirty feet underwater so stay
down as they'll have lights up above.

Okay?

Good luck to you.

I'm beginning to appreciate the
delights of our good old cell.

Maybe we should have left you there.

Now come on. Let's go.
Your next, Iceman. Turn around.

Move out.

Well, something has happened. Looks like
all hell has broken loose out there.

Yeah. I hope they pay you.

Are those words as good
as a governor's pardon?

Is that you, Rollo?

No. I'll go back and try to find him.

Is that all of you?

Yeah.

Yeah. That's all.

Go on, go on. Take off. No lights.

You alright?

Thanks, Benny.

You saved my life.

That is alright.

Is he dead? Did he drown?

Well, he swallowed an awful lot of water.

Get him up. Come on.

Look at the good Samaritan.

Fattening the golden goose.

When they see the Iceman came also, they
will know we're after his buried ransom.

They will stake out the
whole Royal Gorge country.

Yeah. That's what I kept telling you.

I know you did.

So we are going to have to
do away with the Iceman.

But then we won't know
where he's hidden his loot.

Apparently done away with.
I told you this before.

Now do what I said earlier. Get busy.

You mean Benny?
- Yeah, Benny.

That still goes?
- It still goes.

He just saved your life.
- Alright. So he saved my life.

Go on, go on. Get busy.

Here. You put Barker's shirt on him.
I will light the torch.

You put Barker's shirt on him.
I will light the torch.

Burn that.

Make it look like it's been in a fire.

Alright. Now Benny.

With this?

Why not? He's dead, isn't he?

Destroy the fingerprint ridges.
Char the features real good.

Then burn the shirt but leave
Barker's number on it.

What are you doing to the kid?

Stay where you are, pride of Texas.

The kid got us out.

He knew what to do.

We couldn't have got out
of it without the kid.

He was useful to us when
I told him what to do.

Now his body is useful to us.

Alright. Go ahead.
Throw him to the sharks.

Want to head for shore, Rollo?

Huh?

We came out here to go fishing so
let's make it look good. We fish.

Head out to sea.

Turn your heads the other way.
There is a boat passing.

You want them to see us, huh?

He feels safer with
the cops than with us.

He is right.

Put that radio back on
the news band, will you.

Listen, Rollo. We heard the news
forty times. There's nothing on it.

There has going to be something.
Put it back, will you.

Alright, Barker.

You got a choice.

Either you join us.

Or you join Alamo and Benny.

A bite.

And it's a beauty.

Take the hook out. Take it out.

Come on, take it off the hook.

It's got teeth.

Please, will you take it off the hook.

Unhook it. Unhook it, will you.

Shall I belt him again?
- No. Let him alone. Let him alone.

Alright, Now listen to me.

You thought it over?

I'm not cutting anyone in.
I took all the risk.

I took a big risk kidnapping
you from the Pen too.

Suppose I got it in my head to kill you?
What good will dough do you tomorrow?

Wait a minute. Listen.

[ Radio: ]
"From Cascabel Island prison."

"The two bodies found afloat in the sea
off Angel's Point by a sardine boat."

"Have been identified
as those of Alamo Smith."

"A Texas narcotic runner."

"And Geraldo Barker.
Known as the Iceman."

"A suspected kidnapper."

"Barker's body was badly burned."

"He was identified
by his prison jacket."

"Authorities believe that the escaping
convicts were picked up by a powerboat."

"That there was an explosion
and fire at sea."

"And that all had to abandon
the boat in a hurry."

"No trace of the boat nor of the other
three escapees has been found."

"However."

"The FBI states they are satisfied as to
the identification of the dead men."

"As Alamo Smith and Geraldo Barker."

The all-knowing FBI. God bless them.

May congress cut their
next appropriation.

Okay, Tommy. Get under way.

You know the favor I have done you.

Barker the Iceman is dead.

You're free to roam around at will and
spend the dough you got from the kidnap.

What course, Rollo?

I don't know.

Maybe back to the mainland
or maybe south to Mexico.

It's up to this creep. Just stand by.

You got two minutes to make your choice.

If you don't work out I got other plans.
And it's my free time you are wasting.

There is no choice.
Either I cut you in or ..

You knock me off.
What kind of a deal is that?

I appreciate your realistic outlook.

You know something?

For a million dollars you shouldn't be
alive. I tell you what I'll do with you.

I'll take half your dough
and give you a break.

Like you gave Benny and Alamo?
- Shut up.

We are not playing ping-pong and
your two minutes are just about up.

Look.

Put me ashore. Let me go
and you can have all of it.

I'll tell you where it is.

In the Royal Gorge Park up in Colorado.

Oh, that's clever.

Somewhere in a thousand
square miles of mountains.

No you don't, Iceman.

You are going to take us to it.

When I get my hands on the dough, like
big businessmen say, it's a firm deal.

Now stop hedging, kid. What do you say?

I'll take you to it.

Tommy. Head for the mainland.
You know my instructions.

Now go on with your run-down.
You gave out a news item ..

That Barker's body had been found at sea.

Yeah, They wanted us to believe that.

So we led them to believe
that we believe it.

How complicated can you get?

But whose body was it?

We don't know but it wasn't Barker's.

Prison records show that he
had a bad hernia condition.

The body with Barker's jacket on
it showed no sign of a hernia.

Now look, Will.

This is a gamble. Maybe the
others are dead too. Drowned.

Maybe there was a boat accident.

But the bank robber Rollo and
the others hated the Iceman.

They took him with them.

They tried to make us
believe that he was dead.

They took him with them for only
one reason. He was worth a fortune.

And that fortune is hidden
somewhere in your park.

I guess there's nothing for us to do but
sit here and wait until something pops.

Keep moving. Keep moving.

Howdy.
- Hi.

Fishing eh?

Yeah. Hiking up to Comanche Lake.

Well, it's a nice hike.

But you won't find any fish.

We poisoned the lake
to kill all the fish.

And I caught my limit there
ten days running in July.

Maybe you rangers are keeping
that lake for yourselves.

Good luck.

You did pretty good.

Yeah. You know this country real well.
I think that's clever.

I hope so.

Let's go.

Walkie-talking Number 1.

Chapman.

Calling radio control car.

Come in please, McCormick.

"Mr Erickson."

"Joe Chapman reports one of the three
men. He answers Barker's description."

"He said he'd caught fish ten days
running in Comanche lake last July."

"They're on the trail to Deception
Peak on the rim of the gorge."

"Over."

The Iceman.

This is Erickson.

Put this on the Walkie-talkie.

All standby parties are to converge
east of Deception Peak.

We'll be right up. Over and out.

Let's go.

The only man who catches fish in
Comanche Lake is Gerry Barker.

He is one fisherman that's been
caught twice with the same lie.

If I were in the Iceman's boots
I'd want to get caught too.

All Walkie-talkies.
This is McCormick from Porcupine Peak.

"The three suspects are crossing Little
Beaver valley towards Deception Peak .."

"On the rim of the gorge."

"Walkie-talkie units on
standby in other areas."

"Converge east of Deception
Peak at rendezvous point."

"Await arrival of chief ranger."

Mobile Unit 7.

Johnson and Smith.

We are at Big Cedar meadow.

"The three men are coming up the
slope out of Little Eagle Valley."

"They are heading for the Grizzly
Flat route to Deception Peak."

"On the rim of the gorge."

"They have crossed the
ridge into Grizzly Flat."

"Mobile 7 over and out."

Throw him over the cliff. Come on.

Lamar and Mason!
You are completely surrounded.

You have thirty seconds to surrender.

Or you can jump a thousand
feet to the bottom of the gorge.

Don't shoot.

Please.

Please don't shoot.

Please.

Please. Please don't shoot.

No, Don't kill me.

Please.

"And so the case that began
in the Royal Gorge Park."

"Ended there."

"The unconscious Barker
was taken into custody."

"All the ransom money was recovered."

"Rollo Lamar, bank robber
and advisor to bank robbers."

"Died in the gas chamber for
the murder of Alamo Smith."

"Emily Evans, who clinched the case
against the kidnapper Gerry Barker."

"Is now doing twenty years to life
in a federal prison for women."

"Gerry Barker, the Iceman."

"Also went to the gas chamber
for felony kidnapping."

"He kept his secret to the end."

"And that secret was: what had
happened to Danny Lambert?"

"Only the canyons, the mountains and
the snows of the Royal Gorge country .."

"Know the answer."
