Yes, sir? What can I do for you?

Fill her up.

It will take about ten. Take
a look at the water and oil.

Yes, sir. You betcha.

It sure is a nice day today, chief.

Ain't many cars
coming through right now.

Well, I expect it's a little early.

You're looking at
the High Sierras, mister.

Mount Whitney is in there.

Tallest peak in the United States.

14,496 feet about sea level.

Trying to find her?

Them are all mighty big mountains.

I'll bet you are from
the big city. Chicago?

You got to excuse me, mister.

I just go on and on.

See, I get pretty lonesome out here.

And whenever a customer drops in..

I suspect maybe I do talk
a little bit too much.

Lonesome, huh?

Yeah. It figures.

I never knew there was this
much open space in the whole world.

It looks like nobody ever lived here.

Well, we made it.
- I'll be with you in a minute.

I sure would like to
shake your hand, mister.

I kinda lost my head when
hat jack rabbit jumped up.

But you sure saved our bacon.

I saved my own bacon too.

Come far?
- Clear from Ohio.

And you?
- Illinois.

I'm right proud to
make your acquaintance.

You sure know how to handle a car.

I'm not very good at it but..

Velma. She's my
granddaughter. She is a good driver.

Only she gets tired and I don't
let her drive too much.

May I ask your name please?

Collins.

Roy Collins.
- Mine is Goodhue.

Velma. Ma.

I'd like you to know a Mr Collins.

Pleased to meet you.
- Hello.

How do you do.

Glad to know you.

That will be $3.80, sir.

I guess I had better be going.

Are you going far?

To the mountains for my health.

I thought you looked a little pale.

We're going to Los
Angeles. God willing.

I lost my farm back home and..

Velma's mother got married
again. She sort-of invited us out here.

Eighteen, mister.

Thank you, sir.

I hope you make it alright.

Bye.

I sure hope you enjoy
those pretty mountains.

He sure is a strange fellow, that.

Shut that thing off.

Get in the bedroom and stay
there until he leaves.

But I want to see him, Jack.

Alright.

Alright.

Hello, Earle. Come in.

You're late. I've been waiting hours.

I waited for eight years.

Where is Big Mac?
- He's in L.A. Busy.

You mean after I come 2,000 miles
he's not even here to meet me like he said?

You got the car and the travel money okay,
didn't you? Well, what's the beef?

I am handling things for Big Mac.

Yeah?

Who are you?

Kranmer. Jack Kranmer.

A copper, aren't you?
- Used to be. I resigned.

Yeah. I'll bet.

Big Mac trusts me so
why should you worry?

Since when has Mac been teaming
up with ex-coppers?

Look, I told you to stay out of here.
- I thought I left my purse.

Here's your
instructions and some more dough.

The sooner you get to
Shaw's camp the better.

What's the set up?

Ever hear of Tropico?

It's a resort town.

The richest little town
in the world they call it.

The hotel there is some joint.

When we give you the
word you are to knock it over.

Am I, copper?

Those are orders.

Big Mac spent a lot of dough
springing you. You're working for him now.

And for me.

We call the tune and you dance to it.

Hey, fellah.

Yes, Signor?

Chico at your service.

I'm looking for a guy named
Hattery. Where is his cabin?

He is in cabin Number 12 over there.

Are you the one he expected?

Yeah.

Your cabin is Number 11.

I'll take your car in
front and drain the water out.

This is one cold place here at night.

Hattery here?

Red.

Are you Roy Earle?

Yeah.

Hello Earle. Glad to see you.

I can't shake hands with
you. Been cleaning fish.

This is Babe Kossuck, my sidekick.

This is Marie Garson.

We figured a big wheel like
you might be kind-of exclusive so..

We had the little guy fix
you up a cabin all to yourself.

Hattery.

All you do is throw
a match in this thing.

You sure need a fire
through the night.

Is something wrong?

You don't like the idea of the girl?

Little boys like you
should know better.

Well, Babe picked her up in
a dime-a-dance joint in L.A.

She is strictly okay you know, but she
sort-of looks after things for us.

Give her some dough
and send her back.

Get her out of here tonight.

What do you know about this job?

Well, the Tropico's season is just
starting and Mendoza says..

Mendoza, is our inside man.
He says that in another week.

The hotel will be full up.

There will be plenty of rocks
in the strong box then too. Plenty.

When do I get so see Mendoza?

He'll be up the
first day he gets off.

He's in touch with Mac and he'll
give you all the news too.

Okay.

Mr Earle.

I just want you to know we think
we're in pretty fast company with you along.

You know, I remember I saw a story
about you in the papers when I was just a kid.

When you were just a what?

Punks.

Just punks.

So that's Roy Earle.

The big wheel that Red
has been yakking about.

Well, he don't look
like so much to me.

He looks plenty tough to me.

If you get out of
line, you'll find out.

You know all about
getting out of line, don't you.

You are always out of line.

Every time I open up my mouth to say
something you say something different.

Someday I am going to
belt you in the jaw.

You'd better hurry if you're
going to belt her.

She's leaving tonight.

Yeah?

Who says so?
- Roy Earle.

Okay, Babe. Here is your chance.

He can't do this to us.

Go and see him and tell him off.

We need this guy.

But I don't know why he should
start pushing us around right away.

He's no more the boss than we are.

He has no right to
come here and tell me..

Keep talking. You'll
win the argument.

You're asking for it.

Leave her alone or I'll
cool you off myself.

Someday I will call your bluff, Red.

Call it. Call it right now.
- Wait a minute.

Now listen.

I'm not going back to
that crummy dance hall.

Not if I can help it.

I'll go and talk to him.

So you want to go?

Yeah?

They are some mountains.

Yeah.

I always think what it
would be like up on top.

Cold.

And clean.

Mr Earle.

I don't want to go
back to L.A. tonight.

Or any night.. I like it here.

This may seem like a nice
big outing to you.

I know what you are up here for.

But I didn't get it from the boys.

Louis Mendoza told me.

Mendoza, huh?

Yeah he talks. Talks a blue streak.

And he is always bragging.

You see, Mr Earle.

It's Mendoza you got to worry about.

Not me.

Oh, I am not worried about you.

It's those fugitives from a
reform school that you got with you.

They'll be throwing lead
over you pretty soon.

I can handle them.

Babe is pretty wild headed but..

He is afraid of Red.

And I can get Red to do what I want.

Got it all figured out, huh?

Yeah. I in a way.

Okay.

We'll let things ride
as they are for a few days.

Thanks, Mr Earle.

Well?

Is there anything I can
do for you this morning?

Yeah. How about my breakfast?

The Signora next door
has your breakfast all ready.

She sent me to see if you were awake.

Hey, how do you like this dog?

Just another dog.
- Oh no, Se�or.

He is a very special dog.

Watch, if you please. Pard. Patoz.

Patoz. Ducks.

Ducks.

Does he speak English too?

Ah, si.

Both. Spanish and English.

Proud of your dog, huh?

No, Se�or. For he is not my dog.

He has, as you say, attached
himself to me.

Sometimes I very
much worry because of it.

Why?

This small dog, he used
to belong to a woodcutter.

Who used to stay up here
all the year round.

Comprender, no?

This small dog. He used
to belong to a woodcutter.

Who used to stay up here
all the year round.

This winter a great
snow slide came down.

Right under the woodcutter's house.

And bury him. He very dead.

But not the little dog. He escaped.

How? It is very mysterious.

So. A kindly man saw him in the snow.

And took him in.

This man he catches the winter
disease of the lungs. You know?

You know?

Pneumonia?
- Si. The man die.

Pard is alone once more.

So now he is attaching
himself to the Se�ora a in the lodge.

I tell you this.

You are the one if he is
attaching himself to you.

Is Chico breaking your heart
with that story of that mutt?

It's true. By all
the Saints I swear it.

He is a born panhandler.

Everybody around here
stuffs him so he'll only eat steak.

It is true. Look,
he is getting so fat.

I go to work now. Pard will remain.

He admires you
already, Se�or. I think.

Put it down.

Where's your boyfriends?

If you mean Babe and
Red, they are fishing.

That is all they ever do.

Sit down.

Thank you.

He did you a big
favor and ate some bacon.

Last night I felt like I hit
bottom. This morning I feel pretty good.

There nothing like
sleep to set you up.

You know, you ought to get some
sun. You are awful pale.

They didn't let us out in the
sunlight very much where I've been staying.

They were afraid we'd
spoil our girlish complexions.

Prison is terrible.

Sometimes it is worse than others.

If you get a mean
guard gunning for you.

Unless you got what it takes you
might as well go up on Tier 2 and jump off.

What do you mean?

The top row of the cell block.

A forty-foot drop
and you land on concrete.

I saw one guy take the
dive. He made quite a splash.

That's awful.

He just couldn't take it.

I thought of it myself, but..

I got a break.

What is it like knowing you
are in there for life?

I should think you'd go crazy.

Some of them do.

All I could think
about was a crash-out.

I tried it once when they moved me
out to the prison farm for good behaviour.

This old friend of mine, Lou.

He warned me against it.

He was a really wise
old guy but I didn't listen.

The thing slipped.

The guard put the blast on me.

Worse yet, they sent me back
behind the big walls.

I was getting ready for another crash-out
when the pardon came through.

I get it.

You are always hoping that somehow
you are going to get out.

That's what keeps you going, huh?

Yeah, that's it. You got it.

You know, there is something about..

A place in the mountains.

I don't know but it..

It makes you feel there's something..
- Thanks for the breakfast.

I'll come back for the dishes later.

Se�or, Se�or.

Best to watch your step, Se�or. That
little dog, he has the evil eye.

You trying to tell me he's
going to put the hex on me, Chico?

I don't believe it.

Es la verdad. It is true.

That little one, he has the evil eye.

His left eye. It shines
green in the dark.

Like the eye of the big mountain cat.

If it's in the dark Chico, how
do you know it is in the left eye?

What do you want?

Chihuahua, I think I forgot.

A man came to see you.

He is in the cabin with the others.

Chihuahua.

This girl is good. Look
at the way she picks it up.

Alright, Louis. You're through.
- Come on, Babe. I'm just learning.

Come on Babe, let
her dance, will you.

Roy, this is Louis
Mendoza. Louis, this is.. Mr Earle.

Delighted, Earle.

Delighted.

What does it look
like at the hotel, Mendoza?

How soon do we go?

It won't be long now.

This is the set up.

Babe thought we ought to make the..

Over the Sierras to get to L.A. You
know. No-one would ever expect it.

Suppose they should blow
up a sudden storm.

I went in to see Big Mac yesterday.

He wants to see you, Earle.

I'll take a look at
the springs tomorrow.

Then I'll drive on in and see Mac.

I was only rubbing
his ears. That's all.

You were feeling mean
and you took it out on a dog.

Well Roy, Mendoza
brought us a present.

I guess you are the engineer.

Okay, Roy?

Big Mac gave me the gun.

You know how to work it?

Red don't and neither does Babe.

Does he know how to
work it? You kidding?

You know, the trouble with these jobs
is there's always too many guys in on it.

Somebody always talks.

This.

This gun reminds of one time about..

Nine or ten years
ago. We were doing a..

A bank job in Iowa.

And one of the guys had the shakes.

We found out he talked too much and coppers
were waiting for us at the bank.

Nobody says anything.

Pretty soon, Lefty. He just..

He just touched his
gun a little and it went..

Just quick like that.

And the rat fell out of
his chair dead. We just..

Drove off and left him there.

I ought to be starting back.

I'm on duty at 08:30.

What's your stunt in this, Mendoza?

You stick around all
the way through, don't you?

Oh yeah, sure.

I stay right behind the
desk and act kind of scared.

And when you fellows get through
I will call the police.

We don't want any slip-ups.

Well, I guess I'll take a walk.

Wouldn't you like to play some cards?

Did all you kiddies get the
idea of that little bedtime story?

Do you think he meant it that way?

If you talk, you'll find out.

A call for Mr Blackburn.

A call for Mr Blackburn.

Let me have a pack of these.

35 cents please.

They are 20 cents any place.
- This is Tropico.

I bet everything
comes high around here.

Anything for 316?

316?

People with cars like that don't
care how they drive, Mr Pfeiffer.

They've got no money, no
insurance. Why it is murder.

Tough luck, Mr Pfeiffer.

What can you do?

Hello Mrs Goodhue.

Well, hello Mr Collins.

Hello.
- I saw it all.

Pop. You know you weren't
driving that car.

The girl was.
- I was. I was.

What is an outfit like
that doing in Tropico anyway?

A free country, isn't
it. Trouble, Mr Goodhue?

Mr Collins.

Don't worry. We'll straighten
things out.

Friends of yours?

Yeah. Why?

They must have known you when?

I pull away from the curb
and wham, I get it.

Look at my car.

I know I've no chance to collect but..
- The man said you didn't even signal.

Don't talk about
collecting. You might have to pay off.

Oh, a wise guy, huh? I get it.

I'm supposed to write the whole
thing off to experience?

Look. These people got no dough and
they're trying to get to Los Angeles.

The car is all they got.
- Stop it. You are breaking my heart.

Fifty bucks won't mean much to you.

Don't you do it, Mr
Pfeiffer. That girl was driving.

And she is a cripple. She
shouldn't be allowed to drive at all.

Mr Goodhue.

Why don't you just call me
"Pa"? I will call you Roy.

It's a deal, Pa.

I was just going to say. How did
you happen to end up in Tropico's?

Did you get off the road?

No. It was Velma.

She'd read about a place in one of them
magazines and set her mind on seeing it.

Poor darling.

She was gawking around
looking for Hollywood movie stars..

And ran smack in to
that fellah's car.

I was sure surprised when he gave
you that hundred dollars to give to me.

Don't worry about him,
Pa. He's got plenty.

It's the second time
you have saved our bacon.

When Velma smashed into that car..

I had 13 cents in my pocket and
a 5-dollar bill in my shoe.

Of course the women didn't know
it. And don't you tell them.

I'm awful glad that
chicken turned out so good.

I guess it is none of my business
but what is the matter with Velma's foot?

A club foot. She was born that way.

Can anything be done about it?

At one time a doctor told us
we could get her operated on.

But I've been so broke during the past
few years we couldn't if we'd wanted to.

We hurried with the dishes because we
knew Pa would be talking your ear off.

Pa sure can talk.
- Yeah.

But he talked sense.
- There, you see. Roy knows.

My.

Isn't the air grand
out here in the desert.

And look at those stars.

Aren't they beautiful.

Yeah.

You can really see them out here.

It must be because
the air is so clear.

You see that bright
blue star up there?

Right there.

Yeah.

That is Jupiter.
- How do you know?

Well, I spent a lot of
time on Grandpa's farm and..

There weren't many young people
around you know, so..

On summer nights I used to go out all
by myself and look at the stars.

Was that star always
up there like that?

Oh no.

You see different stars
at different times.

They change with the seasons.

Now look. You see that one
twinkling over there.

That is Venus.

It makes you..

Just dizzy.. to look at them.

Yeah.. and small.

I used to know an old fellow.

I did a lot of..

I spent a lot of time with him.

Once, he said that sometimes when you
are out at night looking at the stars.

You can almost feel the
motion of the earth.

This is like a little ball that
turns through the night and we're just..

Hanging on to it.

Why..

That sounds like poetry.

It is pretty.

You know, I'd better be going. I've
got a long drive ahead of me. I got a..

A business appointment in L.A.

Pa, I sure enjoyed that dinner.
- And we sure enjoyed your company.

Now don't you fail to look
us up in Los Angeles.

We might get
lonesome. Especially Velma.

Grandpa, you
shouldn't say things like that.

I'm surprised at you.

Leave it to Pa to
say the wrong thing.

Oh no.

Pa is alright.

Goodbye, Roy.

Bye.

Come on in, Doc.

I got a swell parlay
for you for tomorrow.

Still a sucker for
the ponies, eh Mac?

Roy.

I was expecting the Doc.

How are you?

Ah, you are a sight for sore eyes.

Sit down. Sit down.
Let me look at you.

Hello.

Glad to see you too, Mac.

Thanks for the spring.

What's this about going
to bed? What's the matter?

I don't know.

We're none of us getting any younger.

I can't eat.

Just ain't hungry.

I can't even sleep.

Doc Banton says it's my
past life catching up with me.

Doc Banton? Is he out here?

Oh sure. He'll be along shortly.

He's running one of those
health services under a phony name.

How about a drink?
- Yeah. Thanks.

Well?

How does it look and
what do you think?

Get lost, Kranmer.

It looks okay.

Mac, this copper Kranmer.

Ex-copper.

A copper is a copper.
What is the idea?

He is okay.

A hundred percent.
You can take my word.

When I first knew you, you said..
- I used to say a lot of things!

How are we coming?

The job I mean.

It's a cinch.

If the boys don't blow up on me.
- They won't.

Mac.

Cracking a joint like the Tropico will
make a real big noise in the newspapers.

A big caper always makes a big noise.

The jewelry. That's
all I'm interested in.

Look, Roy.

If you get your mitts on it I
want you to keep your mitts on it.

Bring it right back here.

If you're hot, telephone.

This job means a lot to me.

I put out a wad of dough setting
it up and I'm in deep.

Now don't let me down, Roy.

I never let anybody
down. You know that.

Yeah. I know.

I know. I know that.

But I've been dealing with
such a bunch of screwballs lately.

Young twerps, soda jerks, jitterbugs.

Believe me, boy.

It's a real treat to
talk to an old pro like you.

Yeah. This new crop. I don't know.

Where did you get Mendoza?

He is the right man
in the right spot.

But don't you worry about him, Roy.

They are just the office boys.

You are the boss.

Okay, Mac.

Hide the booze.

Hide the booze.

Hello, Mac.

Doc. Look who is here.

Roy.

Roy Earle.
- Hello, Doc.

Last time I saw you, you were
taking slugs out of Lefty Jackson's chest.

Remember?
- Not so loud.

I'm a respectable citizen now.

Yeah. Mac says you
are doing okay too.

This is the land of milk
and honey for the health racket.

Every woman in California thinks she's
either too fat or too thin or something.

Well, Mac.

Same dosage. Same medicine.

You need a new prescription?
- Nah.

Well goodnight, Mac.

I'll look in tomorrow.
- So long, Doc.

So long, Roy.

I'll be right back. I
want to talk to Doc.

Poor old Mac. He is in a bad way.

You know, he has a bum ticker and a
bad stomach. His kidneys are on the blink.

I try to keep him from drinking
but there is no stopping old Mac.

Well, maybe he is right.

Doc. There is
something I want to ask you.

Sure, Roy.

Can anything be done
about a club foot?

Well, some can be
operated on and some can't.

Why?

This..

Good friend of mine, he
has a granddaughter.

She's a nice girl, but with this
club foot. I was just wondering..

A young girl?

Yeah. She's about nineteen, I guess.

Oh, I see.

Nineteen.

Roy, can't you just forget the foot?
- Come on, Doc. This is serious.

I would have to see her.

Would you take a look at her
if I can talk her into it?

Certainly. But you understand
that I can't do any operating.

But I can get you someone who will.

It is going to cost you, Roy.

Okay.

I'll make you a present of
my fee for old time's sake.

Right.

Goodnight.

Goodnight, Doc.

Yeah?

I don't know, Mac. The Doc said..
- Never mind what the Doc says.

Come on. Come on.

Okay.

Now I feel better.

If anything happens to
me read that letter.

You will know what to do.

It's like the Doc says.

If I don't lay off of this stuff.

It's going to knock me off.

But I am going to die anyway.

So are you.

So what?

Nobody ever left this world alive.

To your health, Roy.

It is useless I tell
you. She is alright as she is.

And the thought of having
the poor pet operated on..

It seems to me you'd be thankful
someone is trying to do something for your girl.

No-one asked you. She is my
daughter and what I say is..

Well, he can look, can't
he? It won't hurt anything.

I don't think she wants
him to look. Do you dear?

Pa wants me to. And..

So does Roy.

Roy?

I never heard of this Roy.

Yet on account of him you
are going to let a..

A strange doctor look at your foot
when you hardly won't let me look at it.

Who is this Roy anyway?

I told you all about him.

Oh, for heaven sakes, Mabel.

If it wasn't for Mr Collins we'd be..

Yes. But why does he go to so
much trouble to help strangers?

You must have a pretty good reason.

Maybe he likes Velma.

You can thank your stars he does.

She is past nineteen and not
married and not likely to be.

If you want my opinion.
- I don't want your opinion.

Look, Velma.

We've got her all
upset talking that way.

Never mind, honey.
- But mother..

If you don't want him to look
at your foot you don't have to.

But I do.

Well.

The child has made up her mind.

I will say no more.

This way, doctor.

Come on, dear.

Roy.

If the doctor say Velma
can be operated on, what then?

I'll loan you the money.

You know I could never pay you back.
- I'm not worried about that.

Yes. I know. I know.

Anybody with eyes in his head..

Pretty, ain't she?

She gets prettier
and prettier every day.

Are you figuring on marrying her?

I haven't got that
far in my figuring, Pa.

Well, I just don't know what
is the right thing to do but..

It seems to me before you go putting
out any money I should tell you about Velma.

You don't have to tell me anything.
- Oh yes, I should.

I should.

She has got a fellow back home.

Yes, sir. It's funny.

Velma is shy as you can see.

On account she is crippled she used
to stay by herself most of the time.

Then all of a sudden she started
going into Barrowville every day.

To the library, to the movies.

It was then I found out
about this fellow.

His name is Lon Preisser.

His people are as rich as sin.

Yes, sir. The
richest people in the county.

He's got his own car. A big
one. And he is a little wild.

I'd say he was spoiled a little bit.

But somehow it didn't
look just right to me.

This rich boy and
Velma, poor as a church mouse.

So me and Ma, we brings her
out here to her mother.

Now, it's my guess she is
still thinking about this fellow.

Mind you, I don't say there
is anything wrong.

On no. I keep
telling myself there ain't.

It makes me feel better.

But I wouldn't swear to
no affidavit to that effect.

Well. That is about
all there is to it.

I hope you ain't mad or nothing.

I'm not mad at anybody.

Don't you tell Velma
that you told me anything.

I won't.

Pa, he says it can be fixed.

He says in a little while I'll
be able to walk as good as anybody.

Isn't it just wonderful, Pa?
- It sure is.

Honey, you got nobody
to thank but Roy.

He thought up the whole thing
and he is lending me the money.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

What's the matter,
pal? You been hiding out?

Roy, is Pard with you?

Yeah.

I am so glad.

I thought they had killed him.

Did Babe clip you on the jaw?

Yeah. I don't know what happened,
only he went crazy.

Red was trying to cool him off..

And suddenly Babe picked up a
poker and hit him in the head with it.

While Red was out..

He swung at me twice.

Were those guys fighting over you?

No.

I..

Red was just standing up for me.
- When was all this?

Sometime after dark.
- Where are they?

I don't know.

Well. Red was out cold.
Babe ran down to the car.

Only the keys were in Red's pocket.

So Babe jumped out of the
car and started to run.

And I could hear Pard barking and..

And Babe threw the poker at him.

I got so worried when I couldn't
hear Pard anymore.

After a while Red got up and started
to stagger around and..

Then he got a gun.

That is the last I saw of him. I
ran over here and locked myself in.

I got this from under your pillow.

I figured that if Babe
came back I could hold him off.

He was just like a crazy man.

Stay here. I'll
take care of those punks.

Please, Roy. Don't get yourself..

Give me that gun.

Nobody is pushing me around.
- Give it to me.

Where's Babe?

He's in the store. He's
scared to come out.

You were going to knock him off.
- Well, he hit me in the head with a..

Stay there.

He was hooked good and tired out.

And just as I was about to
reach for my net, why..

Goodnight fellahs.

Here is my pal. I guess I got to go.

Goodnight, son.

Hope you land a 10-pounder tomorrow.

Yeah. Thanks.

You stinking rat.

Yes, I know. I kinda went
crazy. Marie was making a play for Red.

It's Red. He's gunning for me.

I took care of him.
- Thanks, Roy. Thanks.

Come on.

Get going.

Here he is, Marie.

Swing one on him. Mark him up.

Here. Use this.

I don't want to hurt him.

Don't, Roy.

Don't, don't!

He learned his
lesson. He won't do anymore.

The car is right outside. If you're
smart you will beat it. Both of you.

But Roy.

We've been counting on this
job. We've been planning on it.

Give us a break.

I'm giving you a chance to blow.

Please, Roy.

If you decide to stick, I'll shoot the
first one who don't do what I tell 'em.

Okay.

Babe.

I..

I don't want to go back
to that.. cabin.

I'm going to send you
home in the morning, Marie.

You'll catch a bus into
Ballard and then take the train.

There is a cot in
the woodshed. I can..

Fix it up in the
kitchen and sleep there.

Okay?

Okay.

Can I please borrow your bathrobe?

Help yourself.

Thank you.

You'd better get packed.

You know. I was thinking..

I'll run you over to
Ballard and you can catch the train.

I don't know a soul in Los Angeles.

Where are you from, Marie?

San Francisco.

You have folks there?

Yeah.

Maybe I can stake you to a ticket.

You know what you were
telling me about prison.

How you kept yourself from going crazy
all the time by thinking of a crash-out.

Yeah?

Well, it has been the same with me.

All my life I've been
trying to crash out of something.

My..

My old man used to get drunk
and kick us around.

And mum would take it.

But not me. I waited
for my chance and I beat it.

I crashed out just like you did.

Yeah, I know.

And I finally would up in L.A.

A big deal. I got myself a
job in a dime-a-dance joint.

It was a living only I
got sick of being pawed over.

When Babe came along, I..

I thought Babe was a right guy.

I guess in my whole life I never
hooked up with any guys who weren't wrong.

So I had nothing to go by.

Until I met you.

Me?

There is something about you, Roy.

You are not like Babe and Red.
- Don't kid yourself, honey.

It is so peaceful up here.

I'll go and get dressed.

What's the matter?

Go away you lousy dog.

I want to die.

I am nothing. No good.

Even..

Pard has got you.

And pretty soon you will go away.

Please don't send me back to L.A.

Please.

Let me stay here.

Roy. I want to be with you. Please.

Listen to me, Marie. Listen. I am
going to give it to you straight.

I got plans, see. Personal plans
and you just don't fit into them.

You could never mean much
of anything to me.

Nothing special, that is.

Do you understand?

Do you?

Will you turn that thing off.

Roy, try it with me. Come on.

This.

This waiting around is
getting me down. I am going to..

I am going to take a trip into L.A.

Take me with you, would
you? I'd love to see a movie.

Please.

Alright.

Hurry up.
- I'll be a second.

What are you going to do?

I am going to see some
people. Friends of mine.

What kind of a racket are they in?

They're not in any racket. The old man
is a farmer from Ohio. He lost his farm.

There is him and Ma and..

And their granddaughter.

There is a granddaughter, huh?
- Yeah.

Her name is Velma.

A mighty pretty girl.

Is she?

Yes.

And decent.

Roy.

Well I'll be doggoned.

Come in. Come in.

Say, where in the world
you been keeping yourself?

Busy, Pa.

How is Velma?
- Great. You won't know her.

You mean she is walking around?
- No, she is still in bed.

But the doctor says in a few
days she can dance or do anything.

And nobody would ever
know she was crippled.

We've been wondering
what happened to you.

It is nice to see you, Mrs Goodhue.

Careful, Roy. I used to
be a pretty jealous fellow.

Come on in and see Velma.

You see, Mabel's husband is at work.

And Mabel is up town gadding around so
we have her all to ourselves today.

Pet. Look who is here.

I hear you are feeling fine.

Roy.

I think she wants to kiss you.

Oh, Ma.

Where have you been?

Only this morning I was
saying to Ma, where has Roy got to?

I have been pretty busy.

Did it hurt much
when they fixed your foot?

It didn't hurt at
all. I didn't even feel it.

Wasn't nothing at all.

No more than having a
tooth pulled, the doctor said.

Pa, there is something
I want you to do for me.

But Roy is here.
- Out here.

Alright, Ma.

We'll never get through thanking
you for what you did.

It was wonderful of you.

I got a..

A big business deal coming up and if
it goes through I can retire for life.

At least for a long time.
- That's fine.

Did you tell Pa?

He'll be delighted to hear it.

Velma, have you ever
thought about going round the world?

Around the world?

Well, I.. I wouldn't like that.

No. Here is where I want to be.

I have been dreaming
about it for years.

I wouldn't want to leave.

Especially now when I am almost well.

I was just thinking that..

If this deal goes good I'll take a
trip around the world and I thought that..

If you see what I mean.

Well, I..

In a way I do.

If you..

If you wouldn't like to go around the
world what would you like to do?

Well, I haven't given it any thought.

Lately, all I have thought about is..

Is that I am going to be alright.

I am going to be like other people.

Able to dance and do as I please.

I would sure like
to marry you, Velma.

Well, naturally I am..

Flattered.

But I don't know.

I am so young.

You sure have been wonderful to me.

Well, I know that Pa
thinks you are just about right.

You have somebody back home, I guess?

Yes. In a way.

You see, Lon.

That's his name.

He is not much older that I am.

He is twenty-one.

Ma says it is nothing
but kid's stuff.

Does he know that
your foot has been cured?

Well, I guess he does by now.

Ma writes back home maybe
twice a week and..

Well, you know how small towns are.

Roy. You are not mad, are you?

Please don't be mad.

We are still friends aren't we?

Yes.

We're still friends.

You simply must come
back and see me walk.

Say you will.

Of course he'll come
back and see you walk.

It was all his doing.

Yeah. Sure.

How about some refreshments, Roy?
- No thanks.

I got to be going.

What is the matter with Roy?

What did you say to him?

He asked me to marry him.

What?

Well, fine.

You didn't refuse?
- I told him about Lon.

He knows already.

I thought he did.

So I told him.

What's the matter, Pa?

Why are you looking at me like that?

You don't sound like yourself at all.

What is wrong with that?

Besides I don't know
what I'm going to do.

Why should I tie myself down now when
I don't know what Lon's plans are?

But Velma. Look what
Roy has done for you?

You just can't keep him dangling.

Can't I?

Lon kept me dangling.

Things are going to be different now.

Velma.

I'll tell him, Pa. I'll tell him.

I think that is the
folks coming home.

Pescado.

Chihuahua.

I think I forgot.

What's that?

A letter for Se�or Roy.

Is this it?

Yeah. This is it.

You'd better learn those numbers.

They are the deposit
boxes you've got to crack.

Yeah.

I still don't see why
Mendoza can't just open the boxes.

Because it would be a tip-off
it was an inside job.

They'd pinch him and he'd sing
or I don't know anything about guys.

Roy.

What do you want to do about Pard?

Take him over to Chico.

Tell him to keep that dog locked
up until we get away.

Here.

Give him five bucks.

Let's take him with us.

Imagine taking a dog on a caper.
- I'll take care of him.

And it will look more natural.
- Do as I told you.

Come on, Pard.

Come on, Pard.

Now look, fellahs.

In a few minutes we're
going for the coconuts.

Let's get things straight.

When we get in the hotel I don't
want you to look tough no matter what.

That's my job.

Nobody is going to bother you.

And I mean nobody.

Got any questions?

The caper is a cinch.

Marie and I take the shoebox
and the jewelry and head for L.A.

You guys take the
dough and return here.

That way we won't all
be ganging up all together.

When you hear from me bring
the dough back to L.A.

Well, I guess we are all set.

I'm glad Marie is going
along. She is alright.

She's got more nerve
than most guys, I tell you.

Look.

We are going to make
up her share together.

That's okay, is it?

It's okay with me.
- Sure.

It's worth it to have
someone look after the car.

Come on. Let's go, Babe.

I'm glad Marie is
going along as lookout.

A guy I used to know, Buddy
Garrison. A small-timer.

Him and this hood were
trying to heist a grocery store.

And they left the car out front
with the engine running. You know.

They come busting out about two
jumps ahead of a shotgun blast..

And somebody had stolen the car.

They fled down an alleyway and
bang. Right into a big copper.

And that was it. No more party.

You can sure make up the
prettiest stories to tell.

Those guys were small-timers,
Babe. Not like us.

We wasn't so big before this job.

I don't feel big.
- But Roy feels big.

That's what counts.

Come on, come on.

Chico locked Pard in the cabin.

It's funny. You'd think that
dog knew we were leaving him.

He keeps scratching at the door.
- That little mutt is a plain nuisance.

Get going, you guys.

Listen to him.

I told you he knew.
- Shut up and get in the car.

What you standing there
for? I told you to get going.

Okay, Roy. Okay.

What's wrong with you?

It's Pard. He got loose.

He's following us.

Well, he can't follow
us far at night.

Oh Roy, come on.

Are you crazy? We can't take a dog.

What I ought to do is put
a bullet in his head.

Haven't I got enough trouble
without a fool dog.

Pard.

Come on, Pard.

Poor little devil.

Got no home. Got nobody.

Of all the 14-carat saps..

Starting on a caper with a woman and
a dog. If he spoils this job I'll..

You are full of talk.

I think you are glad.

Mendoza.

One more squawk out of you boy and I'll
fill you full of lead. Stand there.

Yes, sir.

Open up the vault. Quick.

Quick.

Move back.

192?
- It's marked, ain't it.

How is it going?
- Having some trouble with the boxes.

It's loaded. Plenty of rocks.

Oh, it was a lovely party
but I thought it would never end.

A fine time of night
to build a house.

What?

Look.

The jewels!

Look here my friend,
you can't do this.

Sit down both of
you. You won't get hurt.

Sit down.
- Alright Take it easy.

You'll never get away with this.

Okay.

Sit down, sonny.
- Yes, sir.

How you doing?

A couple more and we're
through. Man, is this a haul.

Come on. Hurry it up.

Keep it down.

It's the watchman.

Put 'em up.

Come on, guys. Let's get going.

Sorry, pal. But I
guess I shot low enough.

Come on!

Where you going?
- I'm going off with you.

I couldn't face the police now.
- Get in that car.

Babe is crazy.
Driving without lights.

That stupid jerk. He
took the wrong road.

A bunch of amateurs.

Lost their heads.

That is a break for us. You can bet
the coppers will go to the fire.

I won't be long.

Hello, Earle.

Big Mac still in bed?

Yeah. Big Mac is an awful sick
man. He sent for me last night.

He collapsed. He is asleep.

It's kinda tough
about the two guys, huh?

It was their own fault.

Yeah. Well, their troubles
are over with.

Both of them got it, huh?

Yeah. Mendoza got a
concussion and a broken collarbone.

But it looks like he'll be
alright. The police think he was kidnapped.

They haven't even identified
Babe or Red.

But Earl..

You really knocked 'em over.

Let's take this in to
show it to big Mac.

It might pep him up.

Hey, you mean to say you got
it all there in that shoebox?

Yeah.

Boss. Wake up.

Earle is here.

He clipped 'em for half a million.

I really came through for you,
Mac. You didn't spring me for nothing.

Come on, wake up.

Wake up, Mac.

Wake up.

Hey.

This guy is dead.

He is what?
- He's dead.

He's as cold as a mackerel.

Died in his sleep, huh?

This is an awful mess.

What are you going
to do with the stuff?

Big Mac told me exactly what to do
in case something like this happened.

He must have known
he'd never make it.

Now look, Earle. Don't be a sap. Alright.
Mac is dead, but we're rich.

Look, I can get a fence
to pass the stuff for us.

Do you get what I mean? We're rich.
- Hey listen, chiseller.

I am still working
for Mac and so are you.

I've got my instructions
and I am going to follow them.

Use your head, Mac. You'll never
get a break as big as this in your life.

You heard me.

Alright, Earle. Maybe you're right.

I.. I am sorry for..

Talking out of turn.

Hello.

Is this Piquot 7719?

"Yes."

Is that you, Art?
- "Yes."

This is Roy.
- "What's wrong?"

Mac is dead.
- "Dead?"

He said in a letter to call you. You're
supposed to do the handling.

"Accident?"

No.

No. He just kicked off. His
heart, I guess. I don't know.

"Come to 902 Marcy Building."

Okay.

Thanks.

Hand over that box, Earle.

Give me any trouble and I'll
pump you full of lead.

I'd be reinstated
and get a medal besides.

Like I said to Mac.

A copper is always a copper.

Well.

This stuff is pretty hot at that.

You are welcome to it.

"Utah 0651."

Hello? Dr Parker, please.

"Just a moment, sir."

"Hello?"

Hello, Doc?

This is Roy.
- "You in trouble?"

Yeah.

Look. I got to see you right away.
- "Come on. I'll wait for you."

You are a lucky guy.

A little higher and it might
have caught you in the heart.

It sure burns though.

Here.

Take this bottle with you.

And.. here is a box of painkillers
just in case.

And these extra dressings.

Change it every day.

Hey. Did you really crack
'em for five hundred Gs, Roy?

We don't know yet.

You know they always kick up
the price after a heist but..

We got plenty of rocks.

Doc, you will have to trust me on the
dough angle. I'm a little short.

Didn't get your end,
huh? - No. - That's alright.

I think it's going to cost
500 dollars when you do get it.

I've taken a big chance.

500 is okay by me.

When I need help I need it bad
and I am willing to pay for it.

Hey, Roy.

What about that Velma?

Have you seen her?

No. I haven't.

Is she walking around alright?
- Perfect.

My friend the surgeon certainly
did a wonderful job.

You ought to see her.

It's all your work, Roy.

Yeah.

Go to 6th Street and turn left.

Don't we have to go out to Westwood
and get rid of the stuff?

There is something I got to do
first. It's not much out of the way.

You mean we're going
to stop someplace now?

I don't want this.
What's the argument?

Oh. Grandpa's little girl?

I promised the old man.

A fine time you picked to go visiting.
- I know. But I promised the old man.

You said that already.

Well, am I glad to see you.

Hello Pa.

The rest of the
family is out for the day.

They'll sure be sorry the missed you.

Roy, look at me.

Hey, what am I?

The straight man?

Oh excuse me. Lon, this is Roy.

Roy
- Lon.

Happy to meet you, Roy. Velma
told me a lot about you.

Fact is we had a few drinks
to you the other night.

Is that so?

Watch me dance. Look. My
foot is all better now.

Pard, go and get
Roy. Go and get Roy, Pard.

Pard ran away.

He jumped out of the car.

He was looking for you.

Which one is Velma?

I'm Velma.

I am Marie Garson.

I am a friend of Roy's.

He has told me many times
how nice and sweet you are.

What is that you kids are dancing?

The Mumbo.

That's not the Mumbo.

Of course it is.
- No, it isn't.

Here, look. I'll show you.

Want to try?
- Yeah.

Come on.

One two.. one two three.

One two.. one two three.

You're catching on.

You'll be surprised baby. I'm good.

Is this chick something wowee.

Roy!

Hold it, Mack.

Temper, temper.

Roy.
- Marie. We're going.

So soon?
- Don't go, Roy.

Yeah, Roy. What is the big hurry?

Listen. That reminds me.

You did a lot for Velma
and I want to pay you back.

A fair bit of money you laid out.
- Forget it. Think nothing of it.

Please take it.

Lon and I are getting married.

We can afford it.

Married?

Yeah.

She finally wore me down.

Oh, you.

Isn't that nice, Roy?

The kids are getting married.
- I think it's great.

Pa, we are going to be going.

I'm heading East and I
just wanted to say goodbye.

I hate to see you
rush away like this, Roy.

Yeah. Pa is right, Roy. Listen, why don't
you stick around and have a drink?

You and your girl and
me and my little Velma.

Get your hand off of me.

I don't like you.

I don't like the way you
talk. I don't like your friends.

And I don't think that Velma
should get married to anybody like you.

How dare you say such things.

Lon is going to be my husband.

And you are just jealous and
mean because I don't want you.

Because I never wanted you.

Come on, Marie.

Come on, Pard.

I am sorry, Roy.

It's alright, Pa.

It's better it turned out this way.

What a nerve.

Honey, if it wasn't for you I
would have punched him right on the nose.

What a haul.

Not a phony piece in the lot.

Wow.

Yeah.

Poor old Mac.

There he was laying dead and half
a million bucks beside him.

It's all yours now and I want my end.

Well, you are going to have
to wait a few days for that.

What?

Don't look at me like that.

My share you can put in your eye.

Larry is head man now Mac is gone.

Kansas City?
- That's right.

Flying out.

Now.

You just leave this with me.

And hide out for a while.

I can let you have a
little dough if you need it.

You wouldn't pull a fast one
would you, Art? I don't like fast ones.

Take the stuff with you if
that is the way you feel about it.

But it will be like
carrying a bomb around with you.

Okay. Give me a couple of
hundred bucks and you keep the stuff.

A couple of hundred it is.

But if I don't get my end, you won't
be around long and neither will Larry.

This is the one I want.

Oh, Roy.

A present.

You would put it on the wrong finger.

Thanks, son.

Good morning, Mr Collins.
- Good morning.

Baby.

Our troubles are over.

Larry got in?
- Yeah.

I told him I'd drive in tonight. He
is going to have my cut ready by then.

How's that?
- That is great.

We can go back East where we'll be safe.
- Yeah.

Hey.

Do you love me?

You bet.

I sure do.

Hey. You know I was beginning
to think that..

Art was giving me
the old run-around.

What's the matter?

I was just..

Thinking that the first time I talked
to you, you were looking at that mountain.

Yeah.

The first time I saw them I
was driving across the desert..

And there they were standing there at
the end of no place like a.. like..

I don't know what.

Like something not part of all this.

So quiet and clean-looking.

Yeah, clean.. and cold.

So cold a guy could
maybe freeze to death up there.

Maybe it would be better like that.

Instead of running all the time.

And being shot at.

Never having any peace.

Things sure can get lousy sometimes.

What are we talking about? The
money is here. Come on. Let's get ready.

Roy, we will go someplace where..

Where will we go?

I don't know. Let's get ready first.

What is the matter?

Is it a pain?
- Yeah.

My poor darling.

The car needs gas. I am
going to go and get if filled up.

Get everything packed.

You are a nice dog, little Pard.

You're a nice dog, Pard.

Yes, sir. I know you, Pard.

You are a real dog, Pard.

You are the dog,
Pard. Yes, sir. Little Pard.

I want to talk to you.

A nice little dog you
got there, Mr Collins.

I was just trying to make up to him.
- What makes you think his name is Pard?

Well.. didn't I hear
you call him Pard yesterday?

Well, I thought I
did. I guess I am wrong.

Let me see that paper.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on!

Come on, Pard.

You know who I am, don't you?

No. I never saw you
before. Not until you came here.

Honest.

What are you so scared of then?

Please.

Please, Mr Earle. Don't kill me.

You'd like to get that reward, wouldn't you.
- No.

No.

Believe it or not he's "travelling
with a woman who answers the name of Marie".

"And a little mongrel dog
who answers to the name of Pard."

Mendoza.
- Yeah.

"The Assistant District Attorney
suspected Mendoza from the start."

"And by playing on the vanity of this small-timer
who tried to be a big-shot."

Look.

See the name they have
pinned on me: "Mad Dog Roy Earle".

Those rats.

Roy, what shall we do now?

Marie.

I got to park you like you said.
- Like who said?

Remember? We agreed when the going
gets too tough I could park you.

You said it was a deal.

I won't leave you. I
don't care what happens to me.

Please forget about
the money. Let it go.

We'll stay together and we'll
head back east and you'll be safe.

It takes dough to get
back east or to get any place.

We'd end up heisting filling stations
like Red or Babe. Look.

I got maybe..

Thirty grand coming to
me and I am going to get it.

Listen. I got an idea.

I'll put you on the Las Vegas bus.
- No, no.

You wait there for me.

I'll go down, get my cut and come
back for you. Then we can go east.

We can go any place.
- Roy. Please don't leave me.

I'm scared. Let the money go.

Don't talk silly.

Look, Marie.

If you think I'm going to drag you
round with me and get you shot you're crazy.

This guy..

Mendoza sure spilled everything.

And they'll hang the Kranmer
killing on me if they get me.

But they are not going to get me.

I've done all the
time I'm ever going to do.

Come on, Pard.

Roy.

I got such a funny feeling.

Please take me with you.

I can't stand to be alone anymore.

But it can't be done.
- I know. I know.

Roy.

What?

I am sorry I acted the way I did.

You got nothing to be sorry for.

Yes, I have.

Nagging at you all the
time. Flying off the handle.

I wish I hadn't.
- But I like it.

I mean, that is the
way married people act.

They do?
- Yes.

You know. My old man and my old lady,
they used to fight like cats and dogs.

They stayed married until
the day they died.

I wouldn't give two scents
for a dame without a temper.

Oh, Roy.

Come on now. Here it comes.

Here. Take this.

No. That's all you
got. I don't need that much.

Here, you take it. I'm going to pick
up my cut as soon as I get to Los Angles.

"A bulletin has just been handed me."

"Roy Earle has
definitely been identified.."

"As the man who slugged a tourist
camp proprietor this morning at Palmville."

"The subject of one of the most
intense police searches in California history."

"The bandit killer
and his companions."

"A woman named Marie
and a dog named Pard."

"Are believed to be at this very
moment to he headed towards Los Angeles."

"Stay tuned to this
station for further developments."

Gas, mister?
- Yeah.

Fill her up.

Regular.

In case you had any
ideas about calling the police.

Don't give me any
trouble and you won't get hurt.

I won't give you any trouble.

I'm a little short.

I hope you don't mind.

Help yourself, Mr Earle. I'll
never get myself shot up over money.

Right.

You got sense.

Hi, Ned. Got change for a Coke?

Don't try that! It's Roy Earle.

What happened, boys?

Ned here thought it was Roy Earle.

Stopped for gas. I tried
to stop him but he..

The car that just pulled out of here?
- It was Roy Earle. I am sure it was.

Roy Earle, eh?

Everybody thinks
they are seeing Roy Earle.

Well, we won't take any chances.

Sheriff? This is Holden.

A man answering the description
of Roy Earle..

Slugged a deputy and held up
Ned's Filling Station in Mountain View.

He is headed south.

Patrol car 41 come in.

Patrol car 41 come in.

Patrol car 41 come in.

Cut him off at Lone Pine station.

Patrol car 41 on Highbridge Road.

Now close off Highbridge Road.

Got it.

Roy Earle just passed Highbridge
Road. Still headed south. Going after him.

There is his tracks, Sheriff.

Better keep under cover.

We got him holed in alright.

We got to get up above him somehow.

Call the Ranger Station. Get
someone up here who knows this mountain.

"Right now his position
puts him in command of.."

"Several hundred feet of
territory between him and the road."

"Natural rock formations
shelter him against attacks from above."

"It is some five hours now since Roy
Earle took to cover on the rocks."

"And there is no
indication on his part to surrender."

"The road up the
mountainside is a jam of traffic."

"Spectators are coming
from everywhere."

"As I said before, the scene
is some sixty miles from Ballard."

"Stay tuned to this
station for further developments."

I have to go back the way we
came. Is there another bus leaving soon?

Yes, lady. There's one that
leaves here in about ten minutes.

Thank you.

Hey, lady.

Suitcase.

Just like all dames.

She don't know whether
she is coming or going.

It is infernally cold up here.

Maybe it is nerves.

The rock above where Earle is hiding,
looks like a huge iceberg.

Hey, where you think you're going?

It's okay, officer. I
am Haley of The Bulletin.

Let's see your police card.

Okay.

Hi, Sheriff.

Slim, see that peak up there?

Yeah.

I see the Sheriff over there talking
to a fellow from the Ranger's Station.

Any minute now it could be
curtains for Roy Earle.

Do you suppose you could work your
way up above where that fellow is hiding?

It has never been done. That's
a straight thousand feet.

If we try to take him head-on,
some of my men are going to get killed.

I can try it.

I might just make it too.

Wait a minute.

Those forestry fellows
are using helicopters now.

If we could get them to drop me just
on the other side of that ridge.

Can I use your shortwave to call them?
- Go ahead.

This is the coldest
place in the world tonight.

Cold and unreal.

With stern-faced officers of
the law waiting for the kill.

While up above, a defiant
bandit from the slums of the city.

Is about to be killed on the
side of a high mountain peak..

Hey, get back
there. What's the big idea?

Yeah. What's the idea, sister?

Why did you try to get
through this line, huh?

Where did you mean to go?

Hey.

Do you have a little
dog in that basket?

A little mongrel dog that answers
to the name of Pard?

What's the matter with her?

Roy Earle has been
travelling with a girl called Marie.

Meet Marie.

Hey, Sheriff. Sheriff!

It's dawn now. We
can't wait any longer.

We don't want to kill
your man unless we have to.

We don't want him to
kill any of our man either.

Why don't you just tell him to
come down and surrender peaceably?

Look, Marie.

If you help us.

It will go easier with you.

I don't care about myself.

Be smart, Marie.

Just yell up to him and tell him
to put his gun away and come down.

Otherwise, we'll get him sure.

Alright.

Alright.

Go ahead and yell.

No. I won't!

Go ahead and yell.

No. I won't, I tell you. I won't.
- We'll get him then.

Go ahead.

He's going to die anyway. He'd
rather have it like this.

Earle! Come on down.
It's your last chance.

Come and get me! There
is enough of you down there.

I'm telling you.

It's your last chance.

That's what you say, copper.

Slim.

Marie!

Roy!

Roy!

Big-shot Earle. Look
at him Iying there.

He isn't much now, is he.

Mister, do you know what it
means when a man crashes out?

That's a funny question
for you to ask now, sister.

It means he is free.

That's right.

He is free.

He's free.

He's free.

He's free.
