00:04:32bad haven't you? Yeah bad. I loved her enough to
00:04:35marry her. I still do. You blame me?
00:04:39I suppose some guys might go for her
00:04:42Some guy did behind my back. I don't know who the
00:04:44creep is but I'd sure like to lay my
00:04:46hands on him. Yeah I know you better lay
00:04:49your hands on some money first. That'll
00:04:51take care of some of your problems
00:04:52anyway. I'll take care of all of my
00:04:54problems. Come on I want to talk to you. She comes

00:05:10How about those guys you were gonna line
00:05:13up? I got them. Two of the best. How much
00:05:17did you tell them? Nothing just that it's
00:05:19big. Good. Have them at your place

00:05:27to set it up. If anything goes wrong I'll
00:05:29call you. I'll have a new number. You
00:05:32gonna move again? Yeah tonight. The Valley
00:05:35Motor Court. Sunset 7 2 1 3 1. I'm
00:05:39registered under the name of Martin Bell.
00:05:40Don't write that down. I'm gonna forget it.
00:05:44You move so often. I don't like things
00:05:47written down. Memorize it. Sunset 7 2 1 3 1.
00:05:52Okay. Okay. Yvonne wait a minute Dave.
00:05:58Baby I want you to meet a friend of mine
00:06:00Dave Purvis. Hello. How are you? The wife.
00:06:03I've got to get right back Benny. Nice to
00:06:05meet you. Oh don't rush on my account. I
00:06:06was just leaving anyway. See you later.
00:06:09So long Dave. Oh please baby I want to
00:06:11talk to you. Sit down. I told you it's no use
00:06:15Benny. Talk's no good. No? What would you
00:06:18say if I hit the jackpot? I wouldn't know
00:06:20what to say. It'd be such a shock. Well I'm
00:06:23on to something real big. If you'll just
00:06:25be a little patient. See what I mean?
00:06:27Talk talk talk. For Pete's sake Benny why
00:06:30don't you stop bothering me? Just a
00:06:31minute. You seem to forget that we're
00:06:34still married. As if I could forget.
00:07:15Mind if I come in honey? What do you think?
00:07:27I see you're moving again. That's right
00:07:30tonight. Why do you move so often? It's a
00:07:34habit with me. Like you are. Say these are
00:07:40good-looking shirts. Why do you cut the
00:07:42labels off? Same reason I keep moving. I
00:07:45don't like labels. No loose ends baby.
00:07:49You're the careful type guy aren't you?
00:07:51Yeah real careful. And clean as a whistle.
00:07:54No record baby. Not even a parking ticket.
00:07:58And this time I'm gonna be extra careful.
00:08:00This is the big one. I think I like the
00:08:04careful type.
00:08:07What are you doing about Benny? At the
00:08:14moment I happen to need him. But he's
00:08:16expendable. You're not. I'm sorry I can't
00:08:20stay Dave. I'm late for the show now. I'd
00:08:24better leave. Okay.
00:08:30It won't be long till we're leaving together.
00:08:32Getting impatient? You bet I am. So am I.
00:08:36Come in. Hello Benny. Hi. Benny? Meet the boys.
00:08:57These are the guys I was telling you
00:08:59about. Al Mapes, Ace Foster. How are you?
00:09:02Have a seat. Let's get acquainted. Come on
00:09:04over here fellas. How do you take it?
00:09:10Straight or with soda? I like it straight.
00:09:12Okay. I think we'd all like it straight.
00:09:15He doesn't mean no whiskey. I've been a
00:09:17little stingy with the words. Okay. The
00:09:24stake we're going for is about a half a
00:09:25million bucks cash. Only it's a one-shot
00:09:28deal. All or nothing in three minutes
00:09:30after the strike. Never mind the bill
00:09:32Benny gave us that. You planning on
00:09:35grabbing this dough from a bank? You might
00:09:37call it that. Only this bank happens to
00:09:39have wheels under it and very few guards.
00:09:41Sounds like an armored car job. I could
00:09:45be wrong. You happen to be right. Doesn't
00:09:50sound good. I don't like the odds. Yeah
00:09:52you can count me out too. I'm not ready
00:09:54for a fast 60 buck funeral. Just a minute
00:09:57Ace. The guy got away with it back in
00:09:59Chicago about three years ago. Yeah I
00:10:01remember that. But that happened to be
00:10:03Chicago and that was a Dave Purvis job.
00:10:06Let me ask you a question. Supposing it
00:10:09was Dave Purvis figuring this strike
00:10:10would it sound better? All right so did
00:10:12sound better come from a guy who knows
00:10:14the ropes or what? Don't you get it you
00:10:16clucks? Dave Purvis is figuring this job.
00:10:21How about the odds now Maves? They sound
00:10:28much better. Keep talking. First you
00:10:30better know that I'm taking half of
00:10:32everything we get. The rest of you go on
00:10:34equal shares. That clear? Check. Where do
00:10:37we go from there? I can show you better
00:10:39than I can tell you. In here.
00:10:57This is the layout. Wrigley Field where
00:10:59we pull the strike. Plenty neat. Why
00:11:04Wrigley Field? They haven't got that kind
00:11:05of dough there. That's a good question.
00:11:07The dough we pick up the ballpark's not
00:11:09important. What we're after is the load
00:11:11on that truck. The cash receipts from
00:11:14bank transfers markets and theaters.
00:11:16Wrigley Field happens to be the last
00:11:18stop on their run. Also it's the easiest
00:11:20place for us to operate. You can take my
00:11:22word for that I checked them all. We're
00:11:24still listening. We've got three minutes
00:11:27to pull the whole deal. Someone is gonna
00:11:29spot us and send for the cops. I've
00:11:31already timed that. Suppose we haven't
00:11:34finished and there's still dough in the
00:11:36truck. We leave it. I don't want anybody
00:11:38to get sticky fingered after the time is
00:11:40up. Is that clear? Yeah. Yeah. When do you
00:11:44figure on going on this? Next Tuesday.
00:11:46We've got a lot of work to do. You boys
00:11:49are gonna study this routine till it
00:11:51comes out your ears. Now the armored car
00:11:55will be coming along here.
00:12:25Yeah.

00:15:46Yeah.
00:15:47Yeah.
00:15:48Special Unit 12, Cordell. Code 3.
00:16:17Major needs help, Wrigley Field. A 2-11 major. Notify all units, be on the lookout for black
00:16:2446 sedan.
00:16:26California. First three numbers, 5-Jason-8.
00:16:31Heading east, 41st street, at Sample.
00:16:34Instruct all units, these men wanted for armed robbery, and set up immediate roadblocks on all main armories from city.
00:16:47I'd like to see Lieutenant Phillips, if I may go in, please.
00:17:03Are you a member of the family?
00:17:05I'm from police headquarters. I'm Lieutenant Cordell. He's a friend of mine.
00:17:08Just a moment, Lieutenant.
00:17:22I'm Dr. Leslie.
00:17:26Go ahead, tell me.
00:17:28We couldn't save him, Lieutenant.
00:17:30I'm sorry.
00:17:33Was anyone with him?
00:17:35His wife.
00:17:36She's in the waiting room, in there.
00:18:00Tough break, Marsha.
00:18:03For you, too?
00:18:12Yeah.
00:18:15I know how you feel, Jim. You were partners for years.
00:18:21Yeah, you kind of get used to a guy.
00:18:27I know.
00:18:31Marsha, I just want to say...
00:18:39Well, if there's anything you need, you know where I am.
00:18:42Thanks, Jim.
00:18:56How's she taking it, Lieutenant?
00:18:57She'll be all right. What do you want, Ryan?
00:18:59We found the getaway car.
00:19:00They ditched it underneath this Lawson Avenue bridge near the riverbed.
00:19:04Good.
00:19:05And, uh, I better tell you the rest of it.
00:19:08Well?
00:19:09I've been assigned to work with you on the case.
00:19:13So you're replacing Phillips, huh?
00:19:15Yes, sir.
00:19:17That's just dandy.
00:19:37When did they leave us beside the getaway car?
00:19:39Quite a bit. Gas masks, painter's coveralls.
00:19:42Looks like they changed clothes down there.
00:19:44What about fingerprints?
00:19:45Smudgy ones that nobody can read.
00:19:47But whoever was wearing this got flooded.
00:19:49Note the hole.
00:19:51I see it. I put it there.
00:19:52Hey, Lieutenant, you better take a look in here.
00:19:54Somebody lost a lot of blood.
00:19:57Not enough to suit me.
00:19:58We found some more blood over here, Lieutenant.
00:20:00Apparently, whoever got shot rested against that wall.
00:20:04That's bloodied up all right.
00:20:06Somebody must have lifted him.
00:20:08There's two sets of prints.
00:20:09Footprints end over there, where they had another car stashed.
00:20:1471 and 78 clear.
00:20:17Numbers one and two, no warrant.
00:20:19Did we get a rundown on the second car?
00:20:23178, Sanchez and Cloverdale.
00:20:25Tread quite long.
00:20:27Front and rear wheels 116 inches apart.
00:20:30Measuring the indentations on the ground,
00:20:32I'd say the weight was around 3,000 pounds.
00:20:35That's a small car.
00:20:48I think we got to do something about him.
00:20:49He's gawking out.
00:20:52How is it now?
00:20:54Got to get patched up, Dave.
00:20:56Can't we stop someplace?
00:20:58We'll stop when we get to the shack in about 10 minutes.
00:21:01Hey, there's something up ahead.
00:21:05That's a roadblock.
00:21:06Slow down.
00:21:07Well, I'm not going to any roadblocks.
00:21:09Keep going.
00:21:10Get nailed?
00:21:11Not me.
00:21:12I'm turning around.
00:21:18What's the idea?
00:21:19You can't turn around here.
00:21:20I didn't want to get mixed up in that traffic.
00:21:23See, we're a little late for our shift.
00:21:25Get in that line and keep moving.
00:21:28OK.
00:21:35Nice going, you knucklehead.
00:21:37Now, keep in line.
00:21:38They'll never get through that blockade.
00:21:40They'll spot Vinnie in a minute.
00:21:41Come on, snap out of it.
00:21:44We're all in a jam.
00:21:45Do you hear me?
00:21:46It's no use, Dave.
00:21:48It's no use.
00:21:49Come on, pull yourself together.
00:21:53We got to bluff this out, all of you.
00:21:57948 Des Moines Street.
00:22:00948.
00:22:01A 502.
00:22:07Hey, Purvis, he's fooling.
00:22:09Vinnie, hang on.
00:22:13OK.
00:22:15131A, Wilson, La Brea.
00:22:1942, did you receive your call?
00:22:21What's the matter?
00:22:22Where are you heading?
00:22:23Terminal shipyards.
00:22:24Trunk open?
00:22:25I don't know.
00:22:26Let's have the key.
00:22:35Anything wrong?
00:22:3616T, phone your station.
00:22:40134, OK7.
00:22:43What's this all about, officer?
00:22:44Are you looking for something?
00:22:46132T, notification has been made.
00:22:5113, come in.
00:22:52All right, move along.
00:22:53Thanks.
00:22:54Move along.
00:22:55Thanks.
00:23:25Come on, step on it.
00:23:34Attention, all units.
00:23:36New bulletin on armored car bandits.
00:23:39Description of car being used now as follows.
00:23:43Small sedan, standard make, license not available.
00:23:48Hey, Rose.
00:23:49What's that on your leg?
00:23:51Must have come off that last car we checked.
00:23:53Say, that's blood.
00:23:55How do you like that?
00:23:56Hey, Chandler.
00:23:57That black sedan is the one we want.
00:23:59Heading south.
00:24:01Hey, Rose.
00:24:02What's that on your leg?
00:24:03Must have come off that last car we checked.
00:24:05Say, that's blood.
00:24:06How do you like that?
00:24:07Hey, Chandler.
00:24:08That black sedan is the one we want.
00:24:10Heading south.
00:24:31Unit 11, roger.
00:24:33Unit 15, stand by.
00:24:35It's your seventh cup of coffee.
00:24:36You'll be awake for a year.
00:24:37Just put some fire under the pot.
00:24:39This is cold.
00:24:40Yes, sir.
00:24:41Unit 16, okay.
00:24:43Unit 13, roger.
00:24:45Lieutenant Cridale.
00:24:46Yes.
00:24:47My name is Bronson.
00:24:49I represent Pacific State's insurance company.
00:24:51I'm here to report a case of a stolen car.
00:24:54A stolen car?
00:24:55Yes, sir.
00:24:56I'm here to report a stolen car.
00:24:58I represent Pacific State's insurance company.
00:25:00I looked for you over the headquarters,
00:25:01but they told me I could find you down here.
00:25:03What's on your mind, Mr. Bronson?
00:25:04Well, you see, my firm has the policy
00:25:06on the L.A. Armored Car Company,
00:25:08and we stand to take a big loss.
00:25:10You're worried about your money, is that it?
00:25:11That's it exactly.
00:25:12If they collect their insurance,
00:25:14it'll be the biggest claim that my company has ever had to pay.
00:25:17You know, that's quite a coincidence.
00:25:19A friend of mine, a police officer, he had insurance too.
00:25:22His widow is gonna collect it.
00:25:24I heard about that.
00:25:25I'm sorry.
00:25:26But as I was saying,
00:25:27my company stands to put out over $400,000.
00:25:31So you see, we're more than anxious to cooperate.
00:25:34Isn't there something that we can do?
00:25:37Yeah, come to think of it, there is something you can do.
00:25:39Really? What is it?
00:25:40Get out of our hair and let us work.
00:25:41We're doing everything we can.
00:25:44Anything develops, we'll let you know.
00:25:46Well, if there's anything...
00:25:47Good night, Mr. Bronson.
00:25:48Good night, Lieutenant.
00:25:50Sorry I brought it up.
00:25:51Yeah, that makes two of us.
00:25:53144A, initial is O.
00:25:58What's his trouble?
00:26:00Money, what's yours?
00:26:01Lack of it.
00:26:02131A, clear.
00:26:04They're bottled up inside that circle.
00:26:06There's no way out.
00:26:07Not unless the car sprouts wings.
00:26:10I know for sure they couldn't get through San Pedro or Long Beach.
00:26:14Or north or east.
00:26:17Well, the next move's up to them.
00:26:23Take it easy.
00:26:54How's Benny?
00:26:55Not so good.
00:26:56Come on, let's take a look at him.
00:27:05He's worse, Purvis. He needs a doc.
00:27:07I don't care if he needs a hospital.
00:27:09All he's going to get is first aid.
00:27:11Let's get out of here.
00:27:12Dave, listen to me.
00:27:14I can't go with you like this.
00:27:16You've got to get me a doc.
00:27:17I told you that was out of the question.
00:27:20You've got to get me a doc.
00:27:21I told you that was out.
00:27:23Forget about it.
00:27:25We'll get you patched up later.
00:27:27Get him a slug of whiskey. We're wasting time.
00:27:34Here, Benny. Have a drink of this.
00:27:40Al, talk to Dave.
00:27:42Make him get me a doc.
00:27:43Yeah, I will.
00:27:44Make him.
00:27:45You take it easy. I'll be back.
00:27:50I don't think he's going to pull through, Purvis.
00:27:52Well, that's his tough luck.
00:27:53He knew the chance he was taking.
00:27:55We've stalled long enough.
00:27:56He could have been halfway to Mexico and out of trouble if it hadn't been for him.
00:28:00I'll light off the boat.
00:28:01Will you quit holding her, wait for the guy?
00:28:03If he kicks off, we'll bury him at sea.
00:28:05You can do your moaning then.
00:28:06Don't move.
00:28:08Any of you.
00:28:09I'm going to get me a doc.
00:28:11Don't try to stop me, Dave.
00:28:16Hand over my share of the dough.
00:28:19Hand it over.
00:28:20You're making a bonehead play, Benny.
00:28:22They'll pick you up sure.
00:28:24You'll get us all in a jam.
00:28:25I'm in a jam now.
00:28:26I'm dying.
00:28:28Hurry up. Hurry up.
00:28:30Okay, Benny.
00:28:31Anything you say.
00:28:33You'll get everything you're entitled to.
00:28:45What are you staring at? Pick him up.
00:28:48What'll I do with him?
00:28:49Put him in the car.
00:28:50We gotta get rid of it anyhow.
00:28:52It's hot and so is he.
00:28:54No loose ends, boys.
00:28:56You gonna ditch the car with him in it?
00:28:58Maybe you'd rather bring him along for company.
00:29:01Come on, don't be all night about it.
00:29:19You better stay out. Purpose has got all the dough.
00:29:21Okay, but get back as fast as you can.
00:29:48What are you doing here? I thought you were gonna help Foster.
00:29:50Oh, he can handle that alone.
00:29:52Besides, I wanna find out something.
00:29:54Yeah?
00:29:55What about Benny's cut?
00:29:56What about it?
00:29:58Well, uh, he's out, so I figured we'd split three ways.
00:30:01Well, you figured wrong.
00:30:02No, I did. Well, maybe you can give me a good reason.
00:30:05I can give you two good reasons.
00:30:07First, Benny had a wife.
00:30:08I'm gonna see that she gets his whole share.
00:30:10Well, ain't that just dandy?
00:30:12Big-hearted Purpose playing Santa Claus to his pal's widow.
00:30:15A burlesque queen.
00:30:17You got a big mouth, Mapes. I don't like your conversation.
00:30:20Oh, I hit the bullseye.
00:30:23You know, she is a pretty slick number,
00:30:25and I understand her heart didn't exactly belong to Benny.
00:30:29Maybe you owe her that dough, huh, Purpose?
00:30:31I told you how it's gonna be. Get used to the idea.
00:30:34Wait a minute. You said there was another reason.
00:30:36There is.
00:30:44Want any more reasons?
00:30:47No.
00:31:18Dorchester Avenue, in the alley of 307.
00:31:22573 Dorchester Avenue, in the alley of 307.
00:31:28137A, no make.
00:31:32871 Dorchester Avenue, in the alley of 307.
00:31:38Dorchester Avenue, in the alley of 307.
00:31:42137A, no make.
00:31:46874577 Hamilton Way.
00:31:50Need an officer.
00:31:524577 Hamilton Way.
00:31:55Need an officer.
00:31:57Car 6 to Control. Car 6 to Control.
00:32:00Go ahead, Car 6.
00:32:02We're down at Pier 5. A car just went off the pier.
00:32:05Can you describe the car?
00:32:07A small black sedan.
00:32:09Stand by. We'll be right down.
00:32:11Special Agent 11, repeat the second street only.
00:32:16Do they match?
00:32:18Well, for my money, they do.
00:32:20What do you think?
00:32:22Well, they turned in here.
00:32:25Follow these tire marks. Not too fast.
00:32:28Listen. Kill the lights.
00:32:37Come on.
00:33:04Come on.
00:33:07Come on.
00:33:37Come on.
00:34:02We gotta make a run for it, one at a time.
00:34:04You go first, Mavis. Get to the boat.
00:34:06Foster, you go next.
00:34:08Now, be ready. The minute you see me, start the motor.
00:34:10Get going.
00:34:34Come on.
00:35:04Come on.
00:35:06Come on.
00:35:32Notify the Harbor Patrol.
00:35:36Notify the Harbor Patrol.
00:35:59Morning, paper. Read all about the big robbery.
00:36:03Morning, paper.
00:36:06Read all about the big robbery.
00:36:08Just came in, Miss Ledoux. It's the midnight.
00:36:10Thanks.
00:36:12Morning, paper.
00:36:14Paper, mister.
00:36:16Read all about the big robbery.
00:36:18Morning, paper.
00:36:36Morning, paper.
00:36:55Hello, baby.
00:36:57Everything all right, Dave?
00:36:59Yes and no. Did you read the papers?
00:37:01Was it anybody I know?
00:37:03One of them was.
00:37:05How does it feel to be a free woman?
00:37:07Just the same.
00:37:09Where will I meet you, Dave?
00:37:11The new place.
00:37:13Take good care of yourself, honey.
00:37:35All right.
00:38:06Good to see you, baby.
00:38:11Tell me what happened, honey.
00:38:13I guess we had a little more excitement than we planned.
00:38:15As long as you're here, that's all I care about.
00:38:17I brought a little something back with me.
00:38:19Sort of a souvenir.
00:38:29Well.
00:38:32Well.
00:38:34Pretty, aren't they?
00:38:38These are the prettiest pictures I've ever seen.
00:38:40Yeah, and there's an awful lot of them, too.
00:38:42You certainly made up well with your end of the deal.
00:38:44As a matter of fact, that was the only end of the deal.
00:38:47Don't tell me there wasn't a split.
00:38:49We planned to have one.
00:38:51We just didn't seem to get around to it.
00:38:53And you know, I completely forgot to give Mapes my forwarding address.
00:38:57Who's Mapes? One of your friends?
00:38:59Yeah, you might say he's my only remaining partner.
00:39:04I sure feel sorry for him.
00:39:06Yeah, I bet your little heart is breaking.
00:39:09Well.
00:39:11Here's to money.
00:39:13And time to spend it.
00:39:19Too bad Betty won't be around for the big payoff, huh?
00:39:22Yeah.
00:39:24Yeah, isn't it?
00:39:26Yeah, isn't it?
00:39:28What's the matter, honey? You look worried.
00:39:30We've got to be awful careful.
00:39:32They've got nothing on me,
00:39:34but you might have a few uninvited guests,
00:39:36the kind that wear badges.
00:39:38You mean they might check up on me through Benny?
00:39:40They probably will.
00:39:42I can't risk seeing you anymore till we leave town together.
00:39:44When do you get through with the theater?
00:39:46Two weeks. I have to get them notice.
00:39:48Don't. Wait till the last minute.
00:39:50I'll tell you when.
00:39:52I hate to say this,
00:39:54but you better start getting used to being lonesome.
00:40:12Hi, Lieutenant.
00:40:14Here's the stuff you wanted to see.
00:40:16Criminal record of the late Benjamin McBride,
00:40:18now cooling his heels in the county morgue.
00:40:20Meet Benny.
00:40:22Age 35, born in Seattle.
00:40:24Grand theft daughter. Born in Portland.
00:40:26Robbery warehouse. Two priors, same city.
00:40:28Warrant issued, San Diego. Assault with deadly weapon.
00:40:30Suspect?
00:40:32If you want the rest of the stuff, we'll be here all night.
00:40:34Spare me.
00:40:36You'll be interested in this, too.
00:40:38Willie Mace Foster, before he was air-conditioned.
00:40:40Well, that's two out of the running.
00:40:42This one's still running.
00:40:44Albert Mapes, alias Rocky.
00:40:46Benny's sidekick, Foster's pal.
00:40:48They served time together, worked on jobs together.
00:40:50He'd be worth questioning.
00:40:52Okay, send out an all-points on him.
00:40:54Pick him up right away.
00:40:56You don't seem very pleased, Lieutenant.
00:40:58I thought my hunch on Mapes was pretty good.
00:41:00If you want to call an obvious conclusion a hunch,
00:41:02that's your business.
00:41:04Look, Sonny, these are petty hoodlums.
00:41:06It's Benny Foster, Mapes.
00:41:08A job like this was over their heads.
00:41:10They need somebody to think for them.
00:41:12That somebody's our fourth man.
00:41:14Yeah, I guess you're right.
00:41:16But he's a complete blank.
00:41:18Yeah, he's liable to remain one,
00:41:20unless we get lucky.
00:41:22Start with Benny.
00:41:24Local boy, huh?
00:41:26Yes, sir.
00:41:28Well, let's check some of these addresses.
00:41:42Aged in a glass bourbon.
00:41:44These friends of his, how many would you say there were?
00:41:46Couldn't say.
00:41:48This last week, the place was full of them.
00:41:50Talking and drinking till all hours.
00:41:52Hey, Lieutenant.
00:41:54Can you step in here a minute, please?
00:42:04Looks like Benny really was living.
00:42:06Your loving baby.
00:42:08Nice, huh?
00:42:10Ever see her around here?
00:42:12No.
00:42:14No.
00:42:16Never seen any women here.
00:42:18Theatrical photos should be easy to trace.
00:42:20Give me. That's my department.
00:42:22Okay, give it a rundown with the casting officers
00:42:24and the booking agencies.
00:42:26I guarantee good results.
00:42:28Wait a minute.
00:42:30Yes, sir.
00:42:32Put in a call for the fingerprint crew.
00:42:34Get them up here right away.
00:42:36Yes, sir.
00:42:38What happened to the shade? It's gone.
00:42:40Well, that's funny.
00:42:42He never told me it was busted.
00:42:44He never told you a lot of things, Mrs. Page.
00:42:46I wish he had.
00:42:48Well, I asked him a couple of times what he'd done for a living,
00:42:50but he never told me.
00:42:52He was awful private about his business.
00:42:54I'm sorry, Lieutenant.
00:42:56The place is so untidy.
00:42:58He wouldn't let me in lately, or I'd have cleaned it up.
00:43:00Cleaned it?
00:43:02Mrs. Page, I'm glad you didn't.
00:43:04Valley Motor Court.
00:43:06Valley Motor Court?
00:43:08Valley Motor Court.
00:43:10I'm glad you didn't.
00:43:12I'm glad you didn't.
00:43:14I'm glad you didn't.
00:43:16I'm glad you didn't.
00:43:18I'm glad you didn't.
00:43:20I'm glad you didn't.
00:43:22Valley Motor Court?
00:43:24Thank you. Thank you very much.
00:43:52I think he's in.
00:44:12I think he's in.
00:44:14I didn't see him go out anyhow.
00:44:22Mr. Bell, are you in?
00:44:24There's a gentleman out here who wants to see you.
00:44:28Here's your pass key.
00:44:30Yes, sir.
00:44:42Is this guy just checking in or just checking out?
00:44:44Neither. He's been here about three days,
00:44:46and he's paid up for a week.
00:45:02Does he have a car?
00:45:04No. Said he didn't drive.
00:45:06Always used cabs.
00:45:12Say he checked in about three days ago.
00:45:14I think so, but I can look it up.
00:45:16Yeah, do that. I want to look at the register.
00:45:18You can get that while I'm looking the room over.
00:45:34The man who wore this stuff
00:45:36is about 5 feet 10 or 11 inches tall,
00:45:38blond, curly hair,
00:45:40weighs around 175 pounds,
00:45:42wears a size 9C shoe.
00:45:44Pretty good dresser.
00:45:46Doesn't mind putting out for shirts and socks at any rate.
00:45:48What about this lipstick smear?
00:45:50From its grease content, it looks like a theatrical brand.
00:45:52There are only a few makes.
00:45:54I'll try to identify the manufacturer.
00:45:57Marshall speaking.
00:45:59Yes, he's here.
00:46:01For you, Lieutenant. Thanks.
00:46:04Where's Cordell?
00:46:06We hit pay dirt, Lieutenant.
00:46:08The gal in question is Yvonne Ledoux,
00:46:10a barbecue queen working out of the Bijoux Theater.
00:46:12But that's not all.
00:46:14She's also the widow of the late Benny McBride.
00:46:16Benny's wife, huh?
00:46:18Yeah, you should see her in her working clothes.
00:46:20Imagine a dish like this married to a mug like Benny McBride.
00:46:24The naked and the dead.
00:46:26Very funny.
00:46:30Okay, Marshall, I guess that's it.
00:46:34So you think it's theatrical lipstick, huh?
00:46:36Mm-hmm.
00:46:38You know, that's an interesting idea.
00:46:40See you later.
00:46:42All right.
00:46:46Bye-bye.
00:47:10Well, there she is with bells on.
00:47:12And very few bells.
00:47:14What a woman.
00:47:20She'll be on another five minutes.
00:47:22You want to kill time here?
00:47:24You twisted my arm, Lieutenant.
00:47:44Beep.
00:47:54Beep.
00:47:56Beep.
00:48:14Beep.
00:48:26Benny.
00:48:28Yeah?
00:48:30Isn't that Isle Mapes?
00:48:32Where?
00:48:34Easy, take it easy.
00:48:38Don't move till I get to the other end of the aisle.
00:48:44Beep.
00:48:46Beep.
00:49:08Excuse me, you got the time right here?
00:49:10Yeah, five minutes.
00:49:14Hello, Mapes.
00:49:16You're making a mistake, mister.
00:49:18You make one sound, I'll break your arm.
00:49:20Take it easy.
00:49:32The penalty in this state for murder
00:49:34is death.
00:49:36When you kill a cop, they cut a few corners
00:49:38to see that you get there in a hurry.
00:49:40How many times do I have to tell you
00:49:42that I didn't kill anybody?
00:49:44This cop that was killed was knee-deep in friends.
00:49:46Just so happens I was one of his best.
00:49:48I made myself a promise.
00:49:50I'd go all out
00:49:52to see that the murderer got paid off.
00:50:00This face familiar?
00:50:02Yeah.
00:50:04He's the guy that drove the getaway car.
00:50:06You sure?
00:50:08Positive.
00:50:10Here you go, Mapes.
00:50:12Thanks.
00:50:18Well, that does it, Mapes.
00:50:20His identification
00:50:22plus your fingerprints in Benny's apartment
00:50:24is all we need.
00:50:26You just took your first step to that gas chamber.
00:50:28Why don't you knock it off and stop saying that?
00:50:30What do you want from me?
00:50:32You want me to say I was in on a hold-up?
00:50:34Okay, I was.
00:50:36That you can pin on me, but I didn't kill a cop.
00:50:38Who killed him?
00:50:40Purvis.
00:50:42Dave Purvis.
00:50:44Purvis? Did he ever go by the name of Bell?
00:50:46I don't know, kid. I had a million handles.
00:50:48I knew him by the name of Purvis.
00:50:50He's the guy you're looking for.
00:50:52Where is he?
00:50:54I don't know.
00:50:56You think I'd have been hanging around that theater if I did?
00:50:58I was looking for his name, the Burlesque Queen,
00:51:00hoping maybe she could tell me.
00:51:02You mean Benny's wife, don't you?
00:51:04Listen, copper, let me tell you something.
00:51:06Why did he want to give her Benny's cut of the dough?
00:51:08How do you know he did?
00:51:10I don't, but that's what he said.
00:51:12Look, that's the only line I had on Purvis.
00:51:14I thought maybe I'd introduce myself
00:51:16and beat the truth out of her where he was.
00:51:18I earned that dough fair and square.
00:51:20There's some question of that, Mapes,
00:51:22but I see your point.
00:51:24Take him out, boys.
00:51:26If I knew where he was, I'd tell you and be happy for the chance.
00:51:28Get him out of here.
00:51:36What's our next move, Lieutenant?
00:51:40Anybody here know Purvis?
00:51:44The girl does, that's for sure.
00:51:46You want to pick her up?
00:51:48No, no, no, no good.
00:51:50She'd never crack, none of it involved Purvis.
00:51:52Got to catch her off base.
00:51:54Johnson.
00:51:56Yes, sir.
00:51:58Send a dictograph crew up here ready to work.
00:52:00I want her followed day and night.
00:52:02Right.
00:52:04Right.
00:52:26It's okay.
00:52:34It's okay.
00:52:42Testing, testing.
00:52:44Mobile unit 12 to relay car.
00:52:46Picking us up okay?
00:52:48You're coming in strong.
00:52:50We're a block away on Flower Street, moving south.
00:52:52You got your microphone covered?
00:52:54I'll put it behind the fabric.
00:53:00Now how do I sound?
00:53:02We'll be right back. Stand by.
00:53:28I want to ask you what's new, I can tell.
00:53:32She comes in, hangs up her coat,
00:53:34puts on her makeup,
00:53:36takes off her clothes.
00:53:38How do you know that?
00:53:40The zipper makes a noise.
00:53:42She's back.
00:53:48She just finished her show.
00:53:52She's taken off her headdress now.
00:53:54Here come the beads.
00:53:58The clicking sound is her bracelet on the table.
00:54:02Now she's going to put on her street clothes.
00:54:04This is the kind of stuff you ought to televise.
00:54:06Open up, Yvonne.
00:54:08It's me, Kimball.
00:54:10Can you wait a minute?
00:54:14Say, what's this I hear about you quitting the show?
00:54:16Nobody told me about it.
00:54:18What's the idea?
00:54:20I'm quitting, that's all, as of tonight.
00:54:22Can a girl quit if she wants to?
00:54:24Now wait a minute, Yvonne. Take it easy.
00:54:26You can't just up and quit me with no notice or anything.
00:54:28I'm on the spot.
00:54:30It's up tonight.
00:54:32All right. Let's talk about a new deal, as of now.
00:54:34You know me, Yvonne.
00:54:36I'm reasonable.
00:54:38Are you? Well, I'm not.
00:54:40Now wait a minute, Yvonne. You can't do this to me.
00:54:42There's our break.
00:54:44We'll follow her, and she'll take us right to Purvis.
00:54:46Maybe. Maybe not.
00:54:48If she starts traveling cross-country or over the border,
00:54:50we're going to have a pretty rough time tailing her.
00:54:52What are you going to do, let her walk out of here?
00:54:54No, no, not exactly.
00:54:56Maybe we can force her hand.
00:54:58Maybe we can get a word out of her.
00:55:00Mapes was going to, remember?
00:55:02Yeah.
00:55:04He had the same problem, find Purvis.
00:55:06Isn't that what you would do in the same spot?
00:55:08Oh, sure, Lieutenant, but I'm not Mapes.
00:55:10That is, she doesn't know that.
00:55:12Oh, I see what you mean.
00:55:14You want me to make like I'm Mapes, go undercover.
00:55:16Why not? What do you think?
00:55:18I think it's a great idea. I'd like a whack at it.
00:55:20Go ahead. What do we got to lose?
00:55:22Nothing.
00:55:24Only me.
00:55:28What's the idea?
00:55:30Take it easy.
00:55:32I'm a friend of Dave Purvis.
00:55:34I don't care who you are.
00:55:36Just let me alone.
00:55:42Did you ever hear of Al Mapes?
00:55:44He and Purvis and your husband
00:55:46pulled off a little deal together.
00:55:48Why tell me about it?
00:55:50I need your help to get to the bottom of this.
00:55:52I don't care who you are.
00:55:54Just let me alone.
00:55:56Why tell me about it?
00:55:58I need your help to get in touch with Purvis.
00:56:00He owes me dough.
00:56:02I feel real sorry for you.
00:56:04Where is he?
00:56:06I don't know.
00:56:16Okay, if that's the way you want it.
00:56:18I'll call him for you.
00:56:20That's better.
00:56:22Why the sudden change?
00:56:26I really am sorry for you.
00:56:28Why do you care?
00:56:30You want me to call him or not?
00:56:32Okay.
00:56:34But look at me, good no tricks.
00:56:36I'll be just as close to you.
00:56:56Hello?
00:56:58Dave, I'm glad I caught you home.
00:57:00What's wrong, baby?
00:57:02There's a guy here who says you owe him money.
00:57:04Al Mapes. He wants to see you.
00:57:06Listen, baby.
00:57:08Don't lose your head. That guy is not Mapes.
00:57:10That's a cop.
00:57:12What do I do?
00:57:14Listen, stall him as long as you can.
00:57:16Then go out the back way and go fast.
00:57:18There are probably cops out front.
00:57:20You got it, baby?
00:57:22Yes, I have it.
00:57:24Stall him.
00:57:28But Dave, I told him I didn't want to call you.
00:57:30But he kept insisting.
00:57:32Uh-huh.
00:57:34All right.
00:57:36He says it's okay.
00:57:38He'll talk to you.
00:57:40Here he is, Dave.
00:57:54I said no tricks.
00:57:56I said no...
00:57:58Hey, up.
00:58:00Turn around.
00:58:06Around the car.
00:58:08Get in the front seat.
00:58:10Shut up.
00:58:12Keep your hands down.
00:58:24Put your hands on the dashboard.
00:58:28Take the alley. Get going, baby.
00:58:36Lieutenant.
00:58:40The girl's car just started.
00:58:42I'm picking up engine noises.
00:58:48Must have gone out the back way.
00:58:50This deal is really working.
00:58:52You mind telling her where you're going, Purvis?
00:58:54That's Purvis with her. Something must have gone wrong.
00:58:56It was a nice try, copper.
00:58:58You almost got away with it.
00:59:00Almost. Beat that signal, it's gonna change.
00:59:02In such a hurry, why'd you take Figueroa?
00:59:04Shut up. Nobody asked you.
00:59:06Figueroa, that's for our benefit. Hit it.
00:59:15Next corner. Follow that truck.
00:59:18Why'd you take Jefferson? You don't live down here.
00:59:20No cracks, copper.
00:59:22Jefferson East. Kid's all right.
00:59:24You think they're after us, Dave?
00:59:26I don't know, but I don't trust this guy.
00:59:28Or this car, either. We're gonna get rid of them both.
00:59:30Get off this street, and don't talk.
00:59:50What'd you turn down the alley for?
01:00:01If he cuts us off, they've stopped.
01:00:05Car 22. Code 3.
01:00:08All units, stand by.
01:00:14What's the matter?
01:00:16We gotta ditch your car and get a cab.
01:00:18I got a cop out in the airport. I got a plane chartered.
01:00:20Sorry you won't be going with us, copper.
01:00:22Walk.
01:00:24Honey, don't do it.
01:00:26Look, Purvis, you're over your head now. This isn't gonna help you.
01:00:28Shut up and walk.
01:00:36Dave, stop it, please.
01:00:38No loose ends, baby.
01:00:48Come on, let's get out of here.
01:01:18Come on.
01:01:36Ryan. Code 3.
01:01:38City Lumber Company.
01:01:40You heard him. Get going.
01:01:42Yes, sir.
01:01:48Come on.
01:02:18Danny.
01:02:20Danny, it's me. Cordell.
01:02:26Hi, Lieutenant.
01:02:28An ambulance is on its way. Don't talk.
01:02:30Listen.
01:02:32Purvis and the girl.
01:02:34Metropolitan Airport.
01:02:38Chartered plane.
01:02:40Chartered.
01:02:42I got it, kid. I got it.
01:02:44Stay with him.
01:02:48Come on.
01:03:02Car 22.
01:03:04A 221 Major.
01:03:06Contact Metropolitan Airport.
01:03:08Keep all private planes on the ground.
01:03:10Dave Purvis attempting escape.
01:03:12You clear the customs?
01:03:14Yeah. I could lose my license over this.
01:03:16They'll never know we're aboard.
01:03:18Anyway, you're getting paid to take the risk.
01:03:20Come on, let's move.
01:03:36Fasten your seat belts, please.
01:03:42Come on.
01:04:04Tower to 12 on runway.
01:04:06Are you carrying passengers,
01:04:08a man and a woman?
01:04:1012 to Tower.
01:04:12Yeah, I guess I am.
01:04:14Something wrong?
01:04:16They're wanted.
01:04:18Police instruct us to hold your plane.
01:04:20Pull into the east runway.
01:04:22Stand by for orders.
01:04:30You stopped. What are you waiting for?
01:04:32Orders from the Tower.
01:04:34You're taking orders from me.
01:04:36Get on that runway and take off.
01:04:38They're wise to you, mister.
01:04:40I can't do it.
01:04:42You heard what I told you. Take off.
01:04:52Tower to 12.
01:04:54Craig, keep that plane off the runway.
01:04:56You're disregarding orders.
01:05:04Tower to 12.
01:05:06Another plane coming in on main runway.
01:05:10Now what are you doing?
01:05:12See for yourself. You want a head-on crash?
01:05:16Dave, look! The police!
01:05:36Look out!
01:05:48Look out!
01:06:06Oh, Miss Paxton.
01:06:08Oh, hello, Lieutenant.
01:06:10How's he doing today?
01:06:12You'll find him in there, on his own power, too.
01:06:14We put him in a wheelchair this morning.
01:06:16Oh, better and better.
01:06:18He sure is, Lieutenant.
01:06:20He gets more mileage out of that thing
01:06:22than I do on the bus.
01:06:24How about you? What's doing?
01:06:26I can see you're back to normal.
01:06:28Well, I'm trying.
01:06:30You've got quite a write-up, Danny.
01:06:32How's it feel to be famous?
01:06:34What page?
01:06:3637.
01:06:38It's not often they pay a police officer a tribute.
01:06:40And a rookie like you,
01:06:42you're going to get a lot of credit.
01:06:44You're going to get a lot of credit.
01:06:46You're going to get a lot of credit.
01:06:48You're going to get a lot of credit.
01:06:50You're going to get a lot of credit.
01:06:52I got a police officer a tribute?
01:06:54And a rookie at that?
01:06:56Yeah, but I don't see your name. I sure don't see mine.
01:06:58Doc, look, look, right here at the bottom of the page.
01:07:00Oh, yeah.
01:07:02This case was solved by Lieutenant James Cordell,
01:07:04Los Angeles Police Department.
01:07:06He was assisted by Officer...
01:07:08Danny Ryan.
01:07:10Heh heh.
01:07:14Ha ha ha!
