that's all endcaps not quite everybody
in town seems to think betting on the
bank tails is good clean fun except us
we got a different viewpoint because
we've read about a city ordinance that
says no to that sort of entertainment.
Jim take these ladies down to Bunco
sergeant Keating I suppose you think
iron bars can hold me they worked out
pretty good so far all cars additional
on the beauty shop robbery
the truck was grazed one of the suspects
has sandy hair that is all all right
make each job baby now I've got some
extradition stuff to work out you know
there may be something in this the
regulation Navy scarf initials and all
take a while honey surplus stores over
three million guys in the Navy including
me still was a pretty good Navy shotgun
do a lot of damage with a thing like
this that's enough VI matter isn't
O'Hara we were rookies kneel ninth
precinct yeah he broke me in but on the
waterfront had a heart as big as a house
could be FBI but O'Hara was one of us
you're not kidding
take this stuff down to the lab get a
receipt for it chub you better work with
him and check that gunshot call there
may be something in it.
Oh Ferguson I don't have to tell you to
plug hard on this no Mack you don't have
to tell me that
is too bad yes it is too bad you had a
nice trade worked up a good spot thing
like a holdup ruins it
I hate to lose it yes I hate to lose it
women should be struck regularly like
gongs
that's from Oscar Wilde boom give it
back to him
okay Calhoun here it is you're out on
bail I'll fix the gambling rap that's a
cinch but you're going to be a witness
at a murder trial I don't want any
publicity if they cross-examine you
about your place it's your own you're an
independent operator you never heard of
Jacqueline Ainsworth I can't afford to
have my other spots jeopardized and the
club here I worked hard to get this set
up okay Jacqueline in the meantime what
happens to me take a rest baby your
comes your sort of warm right now anyway
I'll be looking for a new spot for you
what's your side it is like every night
I'm coming along to collect the tape
see a lot of cops around on prowl cars
he was just after the holdup so I keep
on going good you did right Duke
gonna take me home sure
see you later boss jaclyn ain't so smart
he never takes any reps given time he's
crowding us luck looking to out of this.
Jam I want you to lay off the bottle
you're gonna have to use your head
I got sense enough to know that you
better have police calls were okay
gaming one was sandy-haired
remind me to give you an out so that for
your birthday
read the dope said they were both
black-haired oh don't worry I beat her
down the cops believe me.
Marie huh second mistake for tonight
screaming and that cop folks is Pig
nosing should have been an easy heist.
Ainsworth didn't know a thing could have
knocked off several of his joints don't
I didn't think it would be like this I
didn't think anybody get killed I didn't
plan it this way either that Kowalski
kid should have plugged him got soft
figured he'd go any minute somebody
found him and called a doc well any
better stick to a story about that
friend of his he's trying to frame Duke
or me I'm holding on to your share for a
while too don't you trust me I like you
if that's what you mean
ah.
That's the house that's where Steve Ryan
lives and then right at the end of the
picture the cops got gee I felt sorry
for him good picture on ya I cried and
everything but they had no right to do
that
it's because they had the law on their
side maybe some guys need it going over
good evening oh I thought the Ryan's
still live dear I still do you're not.
Rosie are you I never thought you'd turn
out to be so well do you remember me the
moment I opened the door that you were a
cop I am for detective now who is it.
Vickie Ferguson used to live up in the
next block homicide squad very pretty
but I'm not interested it's just
procedure procedure Steve here Steve if
you don't mind I'll just step inside
come in join the family thanks oh well
hello Steve hello Mickey llamas ran
Mickey it's been a long time yeah a long
time I'm here on a little business Steve
raise your arms

what you doing that Steve worked in my
shop out in the garage from when to when
after I got through work about seven
till after nine when did you leave work
while I was late had trouble with the
truck and I parked it behind the laundry
little after six just like always I
walked home booked in my shop that's all
what's the deal were you here tonight
when he was in the shop we were at the
show
you ever see this before oh yeah it's my.
Navy scarf I Stansell doubt myself
here's what the paint rent under the
stencil where'd you get it I always kept
it in the truck
good actor Andy hey what's the score you
better get your coat on Steve we've got
a little running around to do I'd like
to know what this is all about it's
about a policeman who was killed tonight
and - hold up wait a minute
the guy who shot him used this scarf as
a mask come on let's go we've got a lot
of work to do let's go Bob take it easy
Joe take your hands off him sorry sister
I'm the impulsive type Steve didn't do
it I know he didn't he couldn't have
done it well if he didn't we'll find it
out rosy and if he did we'll find that
out it was right here in his shop he
told you so you didn't say neither did
your mother who did I don't know but
I'll find out
okay you had nothing to do with this
Steve I know you didn't sure mom
somebody's all fouled up don't you worry
I'll be back soon I wouldn't wait up for
him if I were you I'm sorry Rosie mrs.
Ryan good night.
Roza it's going to be alright mom
hi sighs hello bernzy
how you doing oh that's the Layton's but
they're all blurred is this the other
one this year track so when I Drive
y'all did okay to open the door
yeah go ahead I'm through with it
your buddies sure bled a lot my buddy
yeah innocent I thought you guys had a
codon stuck by each other when you got
into trouble here you let your pal bleed
to death while you make a getaway I
don't know what you're talking about
where'd you get my truck where you left
it in front of the doctor's house but I
left in the alley behind the laundry
sure we know where's the gun Steve what
gun the gun you shot O'Hara with what
did you do with it I didn't have
anything to do with this he's right why
don't you just give us your word and we
let you go home
I'll send can I get those prints burnsy
gonna work on it all night sighs
anything for a homicide thought that's
why you felt about it come on all those
monkeys are all alike the minute they're
caught they go yellow
the more I see them the more I like my
dog at least he's got integrity
uh no guess not
not conclusive you know not too reliable
as paraffin test Oh if you pick up a
suspect right away after he's fired a
gun before he has a chance to wash his
hands sometimes you get traces of powder
and soot but then it's only confirmatory
I see just something to hang a few
questions on yeah
lead more or less hold your hand loosely
relax
take a look.
I don't see a thing that's right nothing
to see I told you it wasn't too reliable
they could have washed his hands he
would have anyway probably got blood on
his hand when he pushed his pal out well
you're crazy I didn't have anything to
do with this same old story nobody's
ever Gilly have their suspect wait
outside Ferguson I've got a couple of
things to show you
take a mob with each other
bullet that killed O'Hara common type 38
special from a Dixon revolver probably a
very short barreled gun belly gun fairly
new good shape
what's a common type cartridge every cop
in Thailand a lot of other people use
them that isn't all sniff that well
perfume right absolutely
fester Deus huh maybe a woman carries a
gun for him until he's ready to use it
could be why don't we don't lose a dog
it may be just the thing we need there's
a lot of nice people running around
loose on duck yep McGee you know there
are only two kinds of animals that make
war on their own kind rats and men and
men are supposed to be able to think I
think you've got something there
how bad is he doc I don't think he's
going to make it his lower jaw is
shattered the bullet was deflected
upward and lodged at the base of his
brain couldn't get it out I didn't dare
try okay - got an identification
probably what's this last temperature
reading nurse AB sixteen spark
make it awful short okay
know what
what's his name Kowalski Kowalski what
happened to him
watch this closely check
this your sidekick Kowalski no way be
sure before you answer is this your
partner
you
listen Kowalski Kowalski
if you mean yes just move your right
hand is this your buddy
you
Ryan here carried the 38 he shall Hara
you're a dirty liar what are you trying
to do frame me shut up you're in a
hospital
tell him the truth tell him I beat you
up for bothering Rosie now you're trying
to get even go on tell us your life
I'm out here dear this is will
did you see Steve working in his garage
last night no I didn't we had the Masons
in playing bridge my I just didn't get
caught in all the neighbors and nobody
saw him oh maybe he wasn't in the garage
last night what if he said he was of
course dear of course and it must be
terrible for you just awful but I'm
baking some cookies well I should think
it would be enough to have cops out
there digging up my flowers and poking
through Steve's shop without your
messing everything up in here I
explained to your mother
this is authorization what are you
looking for a gun at about 5,000 and
cash well you're making a mistake
because Steve had nothing to do with it
you see we're not quite sure about that
as you are collect the otherwise which
is Steve's room
here's Steve's gun if that's what you
want just the other way if you please up
never point a gun at anyone unless you
mean to shooting well ya see what you
mean no lambu Japanese souvenir not what
I'm looking for
I want a Dickson belly got a 38 oh
that's a shame I'll go out and buy you
one look Rosie I'm just doing my job
it's a job that city pays me to do I'm
not paid to persecute people on the
other hand I'm not paid to let killers
get away facts that's all I'm interested
in just happens the facts have led me
here to your home but do you honestly
think that Steve would I don't know
Rosie I just don't know but believe me
I'll work just as hard to free him if I
turn up anything in his favors I will to
send him up if he's guilty but you know
Steve do you really think that feelings
don't count in my racket just evidence
all right now the evidence is all
against Steve that's him that's him all
right
he's the one had 238 shot the cop crazy
I never saw you before my life the other
guy pulled the cloth off this fella
space and I got a good look at him
I know him anywhere he's the one how'd
you know it was a 38 well I that's what
it said in the papers what do you say
well I'm not sure I didn't see him
without the clothes on his face I
thought he had black hair like the other
guy I'm not just sure you're never sure
about anything thanks a lot
don't leave town you'll be needed at the
trial wouldn't think of it captain
aren't you forgetting I'm out on bail
okay thanks
what you do with the gun Ryan don't know
anything about any gun five thousand
bucks is a lot of dough how'd you get
rid of it
spent a thousand on beer both bubblegum
was arrested take it easy Stu we're not
playing games you know kid yeah not much
you think it's a joke to kill a man no
not even a cop the like cops
oh sure I'm getting real attached to you
guys how long did you know in Kowalski
that guys lying in his teeth was lying
die yeah
now you'll never know
I can never tell you who it was he told
us how it was to lie he was lying why
why should he lie he was badly hurting
you ran out on him no wonder he squealed
but I didn't you all about Kowalski
I know Kerry since we were kids it was
always no good hanging around always
hanging around lately gets the idea the
rosies his girl keeps bothering him
pastoring her I told him to go away well
was it you saw him last that is before
you pulled a stick-up I didn't pull any
stick-up
like before like he came around asking
for Rosie she told him to stay away I
told him again he got tough so I laid a
couple on him fine I've been waiting for
this we've had thousands of suspects in
here and every one of them has been
framed according to them but what else
how he hated my guts pulls out well
don't tell us again what you did last
night kid got through work shortly after
6:00 parked the truck in the alley back
of the line I walked home wet in the
house mom and sister out of the show but
out worked in my shop till after 9:00
anybody come around when you're in the
shop any of the neighbors yeah we know
we checked with the neighbors none of
them could say they saw you all right
now I'll tell you what happened you
swiped your own truck from behind the
laundry you picked up Kowalski you
pulled the stick-up you didn't figure on
a cop butting in your shadow Hera you
made your getaway your partner was badly
hurt and you left him in the truck
outside the doctor's office you ditched
the money in the gun and then he went
home and that was your little program
last night how'd you guess it and don't
you think I was awful sharp I used my
own truck and my navy scarf with my
initials on it then I've set at home
eating beans when you guys come in to
pick me up how dumb do you think I am
awful dumb are awful smart maybe so
smart you figured to make it so obvious
it was you would automatically eliminate
you because we couldn't believe that
anybody could be so stupid look I want a
confession but I don't want a confession
that'll be thrown out of court and foul
up this case and let this monkey off
with a couple of years only the gas
chamber Oh satisfy me and O'Hara
now
let's start at the beginning and go all
over this what about the money the truck
the gun
so just when you want to keep your head
you start pickling it
okay I get it you thinking about that
guy don't think about it cops ain't
people good kid
Kowalski kicked off and the cops are
sold on Ryan
they made a pretzel Adam we're fat if
you keep your head stick to your
identification look at your chasin kites
all over the place
we'll be out there get rid of them
hello are you miss Calhoun don't believe
I've had the honor I'm Steve Ryan's
sister
I believe you identified him at the
police station oh yeah guess I did see
your picture in the paper
I came here to talk to you and to your
friend Miss Weston oh she's not here
well no where can I find her
it's got a new job good operator Murray.
Carlton Hotel she said both bandits had
black hair she was sure of it
well Murray's never sure about anything
sorry she passed out but are you sure oh
I think so
then you're not yes I am I saw him I
know him anywhere I know you're wrong my
brother wouldn't do a thing like that
maybe somebody that looked like him but
not my brother you callin me a liar what
do you want to do convict an innocent
boy you're making a big mistake miss
Calhoun but you haven't got the courage
to admit it listen I know what I'm doing
I saw his face plain and he's the one
then you are a liar oh you get out of
here you keep your hands off with you
here.
I still say you're a liar
you have to tell her what a fine re you
have to fight weather get our suspicions
up she probably figured you're trying to
cover up something now I'll have to
sidetrack you I didn't give anything
shut up pack some things you're going to
hide out for a while
what about the trial you'll be on hand
hurry up be ready when I get back Phil
who are you going on a straight not.
Murray
and the DA wants that gun he says he's
got a circle almost clean around the kid
and he only needs the gun to close it I
can't find the gun we've tossed the Ryan
house thoroughly we dug up the backyard
we took a garage apart there's no gun
unless you want me to call never a
vacant lot in town and drag the river
we'll get it out of Ryan yeah he sticks
to his story you can't shake him you
can't prove anything he says it's true
but he never buries it I I don't know
Mike I'm beginning to think we've got
the wrong suspect lesson boy it's it's
elementary the scarf
the truck is pals dying declaration
that's worth several witnesses in any
court and Clara Calhoun she's pretty
positive yeah she's a little too
positive oh now get this straight Mickey
I'm not trying to eager-beaver someone
into the gas chamber I knew O'Hara weld
and so did you and someone's got to pay
for him but that someone's got to be the
guilty party exactly and I'm again I got
a little shaky on Ryan hmm to me he's it
adds up what do you want photographs of
the holdup why this his sister is pretty
isn't she that's no lie
now wait night don't jump to conclusions
I just got a feeling with some things
hey why you turn over your dope to the.
DA's office I need you on that Baxter
bombing that other witness Marie Westin
she kept insisting the killer had dark
hear what I said about the Baxter case
yeah but look Mac two days no I need you

her the last gesture of protection
bullet went through it through her did
you get the slide now no bullet no
laundry marks on her clothing no labels
how'd you get such a quick
identification FBI
she worked in a defense plant during the
war her ankles were deeply creased piece
of wire around one of them she was
weighted and thrown in the river
fisherman's anchor broke the wire and up
she came not much evidence to go on no
she had a record no record she was a
witness in the O'Hara case I guess
somebody didn't like her attitude
you
put that thing away
hi nerves kid nerves bad Duke you don't
love me no more do you yeah yeah I love

bad time cracking up drinking like a

chamber I got his nosy sister right
where I want her in Ferguson running
around in circles like a bloodhound
you got just one job to do pull yourself
together for the trial so you don't go
to pieces on the stand baby I'll take
you out of here soon we'll go away
together the South America just you and
me and a wad of dough you'd like that
wouldn't you yeah I got just one big
killing to do first.
Jaclyn's got a bad Saturday night habit
the dough from the bookie shops in the
take from the gambling at the club
accounts in his office every Saturday
night happy guy thirty forty grand gets
on my mind think what that would mean in.
South America
how do tell you don't like this big idea
I'd only mean more trouble
you don't like this big idea okay Duke
yeah food no liquor I got to get back to
the club
don't call me there no more
oh look what you're doing joining my
cake it isn't for you anyway sometimes
people put guns in cakes.
Oh stupid who could eat a cake with a
gun in it okay lady hello mom
hi Rosa collecting father going Steve if
you think of anything new just have the
jailer call me Stevie are you all right
sure what did he want
I was giving me that old business about
being on my side I think he is deep not
to trickly use they play up to you and
try to find out things to use against
you I know but this time I I think he's
really on our side and he's the only one
around here who is since you aren't
falling for that cop are you
micki here's the dopey one on cleric
calhoun that's what she's living now oh
thanks Jeff that's swell look what's the
idea all this homework don't you ever
have any fun.
Kel who told her story she'll call it in
court I don't believe her story why did
she move to a hideout for the poor kids
just shy
she hates publicity yeah I know that's
what she told her landlady I don't
believe that either nuke mark never
shown up with his new address nobody's
ever seen him what makes you think that
she's mixed up with Duke no Dame keeps a
framed picture of a guy like she's
carrying a torch for him that's a set of
what she taught you to what she knows
about him you don't think they trust
each other do you know it's my guess
they both know Steve Ryan didn't kill
O'Hara now's the time to turn the heat
on.
That's so Elementary yeah 7:40 marine
Avenue right
so you gave her the brush-off six months
ago
gave who the brush-off Clara Calhoun
make up with her again you're still
working on that pitch this is where she
lives you've been here before I was glad
to know she's still alive if we find her
in the river like we did Marie will know
to get in touch with
hi driver let's go
okay hold it driver
yeah just a gay pull out will you.
Dook
how did that copper find out you was
here what copper I don't give me that
met him coming out of the building what
did you tell him I didn't see anyone
there was no copper here haven't you
learned not to lie to me okay sweetie
I'm not lying I don't know who you're
talking about Mickey Ferguson the guy in
the O'Hara case why did he come here if
it wasn't to see you he didn't see me
how did he know he was here if he didn't
tip him off
oh I could have tailed you couldn't he
nobody tells me tonight maybe but some
other time I don't know how he found out
but I know I didn't tell him nothing
I know I know you're telling the truth
okay believe me I wouldn't cross you but
I proved that had I shown how much I
loved you
don't give me that love stuff well what
if he does know where I am I got a show
off at the trial don't I yeah what can
you do about that I don't know yet and I
make up my mind you'll hear from me
what are you on how much you caused me
enough trouble get out of here you
better listen to me first I don't want
to hear anything you have to say what a
crust you've got look I'm sorry if I got
you in bad with Duke but it's my guess
all you ever got from that guy is
trouble if you stick to him that's all
you'll ever get til the payoff comes and
that won't be pretty
why don't you mind your own business I
think you've been lying about the guy
who shot O'Hara
but I'd rather hear you lie some more at
the trial or not to show off at all what
do you mean you can call me anytime you
want to I'm in the phone book call you
you don't get me at the apartment you
might try this number Gladstone 800 one
key but
oh they they found Murray in the river
she'd been shot.

hair the one who shot the cop had sandy
hair Mickey will you

broadcast all cars car 15 car 15 at the
doctor's home 771 Ellen would a gunshot
suspect
you remember anything else know what
that's all endcaps not quite everybody
in town seems to think betting on the
bank tails is good clean fun except us
we got a different viewpoint because
we've read about a city ordinance that
says no to that sort of entertainment.
Jim take these ladies down to Bunco
sergeant Keating I suppose you think
iron bars can hold me they worked out
pretty good so far all cars additional
on the beauty shop robbery
the truck was grazed one of the suspects
has sandy hair that is all all right
make each job baby now I've got some
extradition stuff to work out you know
there may be something in this the
regulation Navy scarf initials and all
take a while honey surplus stores over
three million guys in the Navy including
me still was a pretty good Navy shotgun
do a lot of damage with a thing like
this that's enough VI matter isn't
O'Hara we were rookies kneel ninth
precinct yeah he broke me in but on the
waterfront had a heart as big as a house
could be FBI but O'Hara was one of us
you're not kidding
take this stuff down to the lab get a
receipt for it chub you better work with
him and check that gunshot call there
may be something in it.
Oh Ferguson I don't have to tell you to
plug hard on this no Mack you don't have
to tell me that
is too bad yes it is too bad you had a
nice trade worked up a good spot thing
like a holdup ruins it
I hate to lose it yes I hate to lose it
women should be struck regularly like
gongs
that's from Oscar Wilde boom give it
back to him
okay Calhoun here it is you're out on
bail I'll fix the gambling rap that's a
cinch but you're going to be a witness
at a murder trial I don't want any
publicity if they cross-examine you
about your place it's your own you're an
independent operator you never heard of
Jacqueline Ainsworth I can't afford to
have my other spots jeopardized and the
club here I worked hard to get this set
up okay Jacqueline in the meantime what
happens to me take a rest baby your
comes your sort of warm right now anyway
I'll be looking for a new spot for you
what's your side it is like every night
I'm coming along to collect the tape
see a lot of cops around on prowl cars
he was just after the holdup so I keep
on going good you did right Duke
gonna take me home sure
see you later boss jaclyn ain't so smart
he never takes any reps given time he's
crowding us luck looking to out of this.
Jam I want you to lay off the bottle
you're gonna have to use your head
I got sense enough to know that you
better have police calls were okay
gaming one was sandy-haired
remind me to give you an out so that for
your birthday
read the dope said they were both
black-haired oh don't worry I beat her
down the cops believe me.
Marie huh second mistake for tonight
screaming and that cop folks is Pig
nosing should have been an easy heist.
Ainsworth didn't know a thing could have
knocked off several of his joints don't
I didn't think it would be like this I
didn't think anybody get killed I didn't
plan it this way either that Kowalski
kid should have plugged him got soft
figured he'd go any minute somebody
found him and called a doc well any
better stick to a story about that
friend of his he's trying to frame Duke
or me I'm holding on to your share for a
while too don't you trust me I like you
if that's what you mean
ah.
That's the house that's where Steve Ryan
lives and then right at the end of the
picture the cops got gee I felt sorry
for him good picture on ya I cried and
everything but they had no right to do
that
it's because they had the law on their
side maybe some guys need it going over
good evening oh I thought the Ryan's
still live dear I still do you're not.
Rosie are you I never thought you'd turn
out to be so well do you remember me the
moment I opened the door that you were a
cop I am for detective now who is it.
Vickie Ferguson used to live up in the
next block homicide squad very pretty
but I'm not interested it's just
procedure procedure Steve here Steve if
you don't mind I'll just step inside
come in join the family thanks oh well
hello Steve hello Mickey llamas ran
Mickey it's been a long time yeah a long
time I'm here on a little business Steve

what you doing that Steve worked in my
shop out in the garage from when to when
after I got through work about seven
till after nine when did you leave work
while I was late had trouble with the
truck and I parked it behind the laundry
little after six just like always I
walked home booked in my shop that's all
what's the deal were you here tonight
when he was in the shop we were at the
show
you ever see this before oh yeah it's my.
Navy scarf I Stansell doubt myself
here's what the paint rent under the
stencil where'd you get it I always kept
it in the truck
good actor Andy hey what's the score you
better get your coat on Steve we've got
a little running around to do I'd like
to know what this is all about it's
about a policeman who was killed tonight
and - hold up wait a minute
the guy who shot him used this scarf as
a mask come on let's go we've got a lot
of work to do let's go Bob take it easy
Joe take your hands off him sorry sister
I'm the impulsive type Steve didn't do
it I know he didn't he couldn't have
done it well if he didn't we'll find it
out rosy and if he did we'll find that
out it was right here in his shop he
told you so you didn't say neither did
your mother who did I don't know but
I'll find out
okay you had nothing to do with this
Steve I know you didn't sure mom
somebody's all fouled up don't you worry
I'll be back soon I wouldn't wait up for
him if I were you I'm sorry Rosie mrs.
Ryan good night.
Roza it's going to be alright mom
hi sighs hello bernzy
how you doing oh that's the Layton's but
they're all blurred is this the other
one this year track so when I Drive
y'all did okay to open the door
yeah go ahead I'm through with it
your buddies sure bled a lot my buddy
yeah innocent I thought you guys had a
codon stuck by each other when you got
into trouble here you let your pal bleed
to death while you make a getaway I
don't know what you're talking about
where'd you get my truck where you left
it in front of the doctor's house but I
left in the alley behind the laundry
sure we know where's the gun Steve what
gun the gun you shot O'Hara with what
did you do with it I didn't have
anything to do with this he's right why
don't you just give us your word and we
let you go home
I'll send can I get those prints burnsy
gonna work on it all night sighs
anything for a homicide thought that's
why you felt about it come on all those
monkeys are all alike the minute they're
caught they go yellow
the more I see them the more I like my
dog at least he's got integrity
uh no guess not
not conclusive you know not too reliable
as paraffin test Oh if you pick up a
suspect right away after he's fired a
gun before he has a chance to wash his
hands sometimes you get traces of powder
and soot but then it's only confirmatory
I see just something to hang a few
questions on yeah
lead more or less hold your hand loosely
relax
take a look.
I don't see a thing that's right nothing
to see I told you it wasn't too reliable
they could have washed his hands he
would have anyway probably got blood on
his hand when he pushed his pal out well
you're crazy I didn't have anything to
do with this same old story nobody's
ever Gilly have their suspect wait
outside Ferguson I've got a couple of
things to show you
take a mob with each other
bullet that killed O'Hara common type 38
special from a Dixon revolver probably a
very short barreled gun belly gun fairly
new good shape
what's a common type cartridge every cop
in Thailand a lot of other people use
them that isn't all sniff that well
perfume right absolutely
fester Deus huh maybe a woman carries a
gun for him until he's ready to use it
could be why don't we don't lose a dog
it may be just the thing we need there's
a lot of nice people running around
loose on duck yep McGee you know there
are only two kinds of animals that make
war on their own kind rats and men and
men are supposed to be able to think I
think you've got something there
how bad is he doc I don't think he's
going to make it his lower jaw is
shattered the bullet was deflected
upward and lodged at the base of his
brain couldn't get it out I didn't dare
try okay - got an identification
probably what's this last temperature
reading nurse AB sixteen spark
make it awful short okay
know what
what's his name Kowalski Kowalski what
happened to him
watch this closely check
this your sidekick Kowalski no way be
sure before you answer is this your
partner
you
listen Kowalski Kowalski
if you mean yes just move your right
hand is this your buddy
you
Ryan here carried the 38 he shall Hara
you're a dirty liar what are you trying
to do frame me shut up you're in a
hospital
tell him the truth tell him I beat you
up for bothering Rosie now you're trying
to get even go on tell us your life
I'm out here dear this is will
did you see Steve working in his garage
last night no I didn't we had the Masons
in playing bridge my I just didn't get
caught in all the neighbors and nobody
saw him oh maybe he wasn't in the garage
last night what if he said he was of
course dear of course and it must be
terrible for you just awful but I'm
baking some cookies well I should think
it would be enough to have cops out
there digging up my flowers and poking
through Steve's shop without your
messing everything up in here I
explained to your mother
this is authorization what are you
looking for a gun at about 5,000 and
cash well you're making a mistake
because Steve had nothing to do with it
you see we're not quite sure about that
as you are collect the otherwise which
is Steve's room
here's Steve's gun if that's what you
want just the other way if you please up
never point a gun at anyone unless you
mean to shooting well ya see what you
mean no lambu Japanese souvenir not what
I'm looking for
I want a Dickson belly got a 38 oh
that's a shame I'll go out and buy you
one look Rosie I'm just doing my job
it's a job that city pays me to do I'm
not paid to persecute people on the
other hand I'm not paid to let killers
get away facts that's all I'm interested
in just happens the facts have led me
here to your home but do you honestly
think that Steve would I don't know
Rosie I just don't know but believe me
I'll work just as hard to free him if I
turn up anything in his favors I will to
send him up if he's guilty but you know
Steve do you really think that feelings
don't count in my racket just evidence
all right now the evidence is all
against Steve that's him that's him all
right
he's the one had 238 shot the cop crazy
I never saw you before my life the other
guy pulled the cloth off this fella
space and I got a good look at him
I know him anywhere he's the one how'd
you know it was a 38 well I that's what
it said in the papers what do you say
well I'm not sure I didn't see him
without the clothes on his face I
thought he had black hair like the other
guy I'm not just sure you're never sure
about anything thanks a lot
don't leave town you'll be needed at the
trial wouldn't think of it captain
aren't you forgetting I'm out on bail
okay thanks
what you do with the gun Ryan don't know
anything about any gun five thousand
bucks is a lot of dough how'd you get
rid of it
spent a thousand on beer both bubblegum
was arrested take it easy Stu we're not
playing games you know kid yeah not much
you think it's a joke to kill a man no
not even a cop the like cops
oh sure I'm getting real attached to you
guys how long did you know in Kowalski
that guys lying in his teeth was lying
die yeah
now you'll never know
I can never tell you who it was he told
us how it was to lie he was lying why
why should he lie he was badly hurting
you ran out on him no wonder he squealed
but I didn't you all about Kowalski
I know Kerry since we were kids it was
always no good hanging around always
hanging around lately gets the idea the
rosies his girl keeps bothering him
pastoring her I told him to go away well
was it you saw him last that is before
you pulled a stick-up I didn't pull any
stick-up
like before like he came around asking
for Rosie she told him to stay away I
told him again he got tough so I laid a
couple on him fine I've been waiting for
this we've had thousands of suspects in
here and every one of them has been
framed according to them but what else
how he hated my guts pulls out well
don't tell us again what you did last
night kid got through work shortly after
6:00 parked the truck in the alley back
of the line I walked home wet in the
house mom and sister out of the show but
out worked in my shop till after 9:00
anybody come around when you're in the
shop any of the neighbors yeah we know
we checked with the neighbors none of
them could say they saw you all right
now I'll tell you what happened you
swiped your own truck from behind the
laundry you picked up Kowalski you
pulled the stick-up you didn't figure on
a cop butting in your shadow Hera you
made your getaway your partner was badly
hurt and you left him in the truck
outside the doctor's office you ditched
the money in the gun and then he went
home and that was your little program
last night how'd you guess it and don't
you think I was awful sharp I used my
own truck and my navy scarf with my
initials on it then I've set at home
eating beans when you guys come in to
pick me up how dumb do you think I am
awful dumb are awful smart maybe so
smart you figured to make it so obvious
it was you would automatically eliminate
you because we couldn't believe that
anybody could be so stupid look I want a
confession but I don't want a confession
that'll be thrown out of court and foul
up this case and let this monkey off
with a couple of years only the gas
chamber Oh satisfy me and O'Hara
now
let's start at the beginning and go all
over this what about the money the truck
the gun
so just when you want to keep your head
you start pickling it
okay I get it you thinking about that
guy don't think about it cops ain't
people good kid
Kowalski kicked off and the cops are
sold on Ryan
they made a pretzel Adam we're fat if
you keep your head stick to your
identification look at your chasin kites
all over the place
we'll be out there get rid of them
hello are you miss Calhoun don't believe
I've had the honor I'm Steve Ryan's
sister
I believe you identified him at the
police station oh yeah guess I did see
your picture in the paper
I came here to talk to you and to your
friend Miss Weston oh she's not here
well no where can I find her
it's got a new job good operator Murray.
Carlton Hotel she said both bandits had
black hair she was sure of it
well Murray's never sure about anything
sorry she passed out but are you sure oh
I think so
then you're not yes I am I saw him I
know him anywhere I know you're wrong my
brother wouldn't do a thing like that
maybe somebody that looked like him but
not my brother you callin me a liar what
do you want to do convict an innocent
boy you're making a big mistake miss
Calhoun but you haven't got the courage
to admit it listen I know what I'm doing
I saw his face plain and he's the one
then you are a liar oh you get out of
here you keep your hands off with you
here.
I still say you're a liar
you have to tell her what a fine re you
have to fight weather get our suspicions
up she probably figured you're trying to
cover up something now I'll have to
sidetrack you I didn't give anything
shut up pack some things you're going to
hide out for a while
what about the trial you'll be on hand
hurry up be ready when I get back Phil
who are you going on a straight not.
Murray
and the DA wants that gun he says he's
got a circle almost clean around the kid
and he only needs the gun to close it I
can't find the gun we've tossed the Ryan
house thoroughly we dug up the backyard
we took a garage apart there's no gun
unless you want me to call never a
vacant lot in town and drag the river
we'll get it out of Ryan yeah he sticks
to his story you can't shake him you
can't prove anything he says it's true
but he never buries it I I don't know
Mike I'm beginning to think we've got
the wrong suspect lesson boy it's it's
elementary the scarf
the truck is pals dying declaration
that's worth several witnesses in any
court and Clara Calhoun she's pretty
positive yeah she's a little too
positive oh now get this straight Mickey
I'm not trying to eager-beaver someone
into the gas chamber I knew O'Hara weld
and so did you and someone's got to pay
for him but that someone's got to be the
guilty party exactly and I'm again I got
a little shaky on Ryan hmm to me he's it
adds up what do you want photographs of
the holdup why this his sister is pretty

witness in her brother's trial yeah
where is she there's a cop for you

with the cops once and they never forget
it they never let you forget it I think
you're right mr. Martin oh sure

anything else to do so we go out and
find people to frame it's true he dug up
our yard and searched our house to find
something to hang Steve with his scarf

I saw Duke hated you and I had to keep
his confidence are you dreaming this
kind never trust anybody not even
themselves he trusts me
yeah you don't know much about this guy
there's your pal
nice record
now will you stop playing with dynamite
if he ever turns promised he'd help
Steve how's it gonna help Steve if we
find you in a ditch some night look
Rosie I don't want anything to happen to
you I'd do anything to help Steve
anything I don't care what happens to me
oh I guess that puts us on opposite
sides of the fence haven't we always
been maybe so I had some news for you
tonight but under the circumstances I
guess it had better wait good night
Rosie
good night
she evidently held a purse in front of
her the last gesture of protection
bullet went through it through her did
you get the slide now no bullet no
laundry marks on her clothing no labels
how'd you get such a quick
identification FBI
she worked in a defense plant during the
war her ankles were deeply creased piece
of wire around one of them she was
weighted and thrown in the river
fisherman's anchor broke the wire and up
she came not much evidence to go on no
she had a record no record she was a
witness in the O'Hara case I guess
somebody didn't like her attitude
you
put that thing away
hi nerves kid nerves bad Duke you don't
love me no more do you yeah yeah I love
you why do you say that you give me a
bad time cracking up drinking like a
fish people give me a bad time I got an
easier way of taking care of them Duke
where's Marie people shouldn't scream
dog I can't sit here I'm going nuts
he's some decent clothes for like a
nurse are you gonna barn shoot your
mouth off looking at these four walls I
keep thinking about that poor kid being
framed maybe you'd rather I took the rap
no Duke no you said it'd be easy you
said we get the money and go to Florida
look the kids as good as in the gas
chamber I got his nosy sister right
where I want her in Ferguson running
around in circles like a bloodhound
you got just one job to do pull yourself
together for the trial so you don't go
to pieces on the stand baby I'll take
you out of here soon we'll go away
together the South America just you and
me and a wad of dough you'd like that
wouldn't you yeah I got just one big
killing to do first.
Jaclyn's got a bad Saturday night habit
the dough from the bookie shops in the
take from the gambling at the club
accounts in his office every Saturday
night happy guy thirty forty grand gets
on my mind think what that would mean in.
South America
how do tell you don't like this big idea
I'd only mean more trouble
you don't like this big idea okay Duke
yeah food no liquor I got to get back to
the club
don't call me there no more
oh look what you're doing joining my
cake it isn't for you anyway sometimes
people put guns in cakes.
Oh stupid who could eat a cake with a
gun in it okay lady hello mom
hi Rosa collecting father going Steve if
you think of anything new just have the
jailer call me Stevie are you all right
sure what did he want
I was giving me that old business about
being on my side I think he is deep not
to trickly use they play up to you and
try to find out things to use against
you I know but this time I I think he's
really on our side and he's the only one
around here who is since you aren't
falling for that cop are you
micki here's the dopey one on cleric
calhoun that's what she's living now oh
thanks Jeff that's swell look what's the
idea all this homework don't you ever
have any fun.
Kel who told her story she'll call it in
court I don't believe her story why did
she move to a hideout for the poor kids
just shy
she hates publicity yeah I know that's
what she told her landlady I don't
believe that either nuke mark never
shown up with his new address nobody's
ever seen him what makes you think that
she's mixed up with Duke no Dame keeps a
framed picture of a guy like she's
carrying a torch for him that's a set of
what she taught you to what she knows
about him you don't think they trust
each other do you know it's my guess
they both know Steve Ryan didn't kill
O'Hara now's the time to turn the heat
on.
That's so Elementary yeah 7:40 marine
Avenue right
so you gave her the brush-off six months
ago
gave who the brush-off Clara Calhoun
make up with her again you're still
working on that pitch this is where she
lives you've been here before I was glad
to know she's still alive if we find her
in the river like we did Marie will know
to get in touch with
hi driver let's go
okay hold it driver
yeah just a gay pull out will you.
Dook
how did that copper find out you was
here what copper I don't give me that
met him coming out of the building what
did you tell him I didn't see anyone
there was no copper here haven't you
learned not to lie to me okay sweetie
I'm not lying I don't know who you're
talking about Mickey Ferguson the guy in
the O'Hara case why did he come here if
it wasn't to see you he didn't see me
how did he know he was here if he didn't
tip him off
oh I could have tailed you couldn't he
nobody tells me tonight maybe but some
other time I don't know how he found out
but I know I didn't tell him nothing
I know I know you're telling the truth
okay believe me I wouldn't cross you but
I proved that had I shown how much I
loved you
don't give me that love stuff well what
if he does know where I am I got a show
off at the trial don't I yeah what can
you do about that I don't know yet and I
make up my mind you'll hear from me
what are you on how much you caused me
enough trouble get out of here you
better listen to me first I don't want
to hear anything you have to say what a
crust you've got look I'm sorry if I got
you in bad with Duke but it's my guess
all you ever got from that guy is
trouble if you stick to him that's all
you'll ever get til the payoff comes and
that won't be pretty
why don't you mind your own business I
think you've been lying about the guy
who shot O'Hara
but I'd rather hear you lie some more at
the trial or not to show off at all what
do you mean you can call me anytime you
want to I'm in the phone book call you
you don't get me at the apartment you
might try this number Gladstone 800 one
key but
oh they they found Murray in the river
she'd been shot.
