Si Robin, do you know him?
Nope.
Then why did he want to see you?
I don't know.
What's he in for?
First degree murder.
We picked him up at the scene of the crime.
Gun in hand.
They're getting easier.
He says it was self-defense.
What do you say?
I wasn't there.
Well, you must have an opinion.
Opinions don't hold in court.
We're not in court.
Robin has a record, Pete.
Armed robbery.
He just finished a four-year stretch.
There's not much time for armed robbery.
Well, time won't for good behavior.
So he gets out and kills somebody else, huh?
It's been done before.
Who'd he kill?
That's what gives it color.
Color it.
Louis Dorsen.
Professional assassin.
That's pretty good killing.
The lamb got the butcher.
Gives Robin's self-defense plea a little character.
Maybe.
Anything else?
Yeah.
Robin was convicted for the half-payroll job.
$200,000.
We know he didn't pull it off alone.
We don't know who his associates were.
And the money has never been recovered.
Can I see him?
That's what you're here for.
Pass Peter Gunn to see Cy Robin.
Pete.
Yeah?
Never mind.
Sit down.
Cigarette?
Thanks.
I was afraid you wouldn't come.
Why shouldn't I?
Well, it looks bad for me.
They got me dead bang.
That's all I've heard.
It was self-defense.
I got him before he got me.
Did you know the other man?
No.
They said his name was Dorsen, Louie Dorsen.
Where'd it happen?
Look, I didn't call you here to interrogate me.
Why did you call me here?
I want you to find my girl.
Her name is Sally Hall.
When did you last see her?
Well, it's been a little while.
I did a stretch, four years.
I'll pay you whatever you want.
You find Sally, tell her I'm here.
She'll know what to do.
It'll cost you $1,000.
You'll get it.
What'd you do, save your cigarette money?
You find Sally, I'll make it $2,000.
You can keep these.
Okay, Tom.
Yes, Mr. Gunn.
You'll find her?
I'll think about it.
Crazy.
Hey, Big Daddy.
How are you, Wilbur?
Like it don't ever change, Pete.
I just keep swinging, and it creates
a wild A wild draft, and I stay cool.
Glad you could fall by, man.
You remember Capri?
Ah, this one is Capri, too.
But this is the real chick.
All of it, not just the crazy facade.
Dig?
Not quite.
Daddy, this is life.
But this is This infinite, the end,
the most, like it pours from the soul.
Well, I don't like to put you down,
Wilbur, but I sort of dig the crazy facade.
Yeah, Daddy, like who don't like everything in
its place, and there's some wild, swinging places.
What about the real Capri?
This is for posterity.
And this is for me.
Wilbur.
Yeah, Daddy?
I'm looking for a girl.
Yeah?
Daddy, if you, uh, like if you don't look
too close, your Priya's got a wild,
wild swinging friend.
Thanks anyway, Wilbur, but I'm looking for a Sally Hall.
Sally Hall?
Well, now, like that name strikes a responsive chord.
Respond.
Well, Daddy, like if this Sally Hall is the
chick that I think you're thinking of, cool it.
Unless you meet her at the Aberdeen Proving Ground and
bring along the 101st Infantry Regiment to be on your side.
Elaborate.
Daddy, this chick belongs to a cat named Nord.
You hip.
Joe Nord?
That's the cat.
I'm hip.
He's a mean daddy, that one.
Where can I find Sally?
Now, Pete, if indeed you must find this
Sally, you fall by the classic bookshop on Gary.
And there you ask for the first edition of
Through the Looking Glass.
Thanks, Wilbur.
Like good night, sweet prince.
And angels swing thee to thy rest.
You got a first edition of Through the Looking Glass?
First aisle, last section.
Hello, Pete.
Hello, Allie.
Like your new setup.
Thanks.
Joe Nord around?
No.
Sally Hall?
At the roulette table next to the croupier.
Thanks, Allie.
No trouble now.
Not unless you call Joe Nord.
I, uh, hope I didn't change your luck.
I was hoping I might win bail for a mutual
friend of ours, Cy Robin.
Can we go someplace and talk, Sally?
Who are you?
Peter Gunn.
How did you know my name?
I get around gambling casinos, jails.
Yes, I heard they picked Cy up.
It's too bad.
I expected you to be a little more concerned than that.
Did you?
Why?
He asked me to find his girl.
Well, you haven't found her.
He said her name was Sally Hall.
I used to go with Cy, but that's all over.
Well, then, maybe you should tell him that.
Mr. Gunn, I'm sorry that Cy's in trouble.
It's tough.
That's the way things happen.
Roll of the dice, turn of the wheel.
I've made a new life for myself.
With Joe Nord?
I think you'd better go now.
I didn't get what I came for.
What did you come for?
To convey a message.
Now I'm curious.
About what?
How you can be in love with someone, suddenly
not care whether they live or die, Get out of here.
I'd help him if I could.
But there's nothing I can do.
Afraid Joe Nord might find out about it?
Well, it's been nice seeing you.
Say hello to everyone back home for me.
Hello, Pete.
Hello, Mother.
You got that look.
What look's that?
Business look.
Thanks, Marge.
What do you know about a trio by the name
of Robin, Hall, and Nord?
First name's Si, Sally, and Joel.
That's the group.
Used to be Sally and Si.
Now it's Sally and Joel.
I know that much.
Well, that's about all I know for sure.
What do you hear?
Si Robin took the rap for Joe Nord.
Why?
He had a bigger cut of the half-payroll job.
Nord in on it?
That's what I hear.
How big was the cut?
Well, Si keeps his mouth shut,
serves his time, collects 100 grand.
He had to do four years anyway.
$25,000 a year, tax-free.
I guess that's a good way to do it.
I didn't know what time it was then I met
you Oh, what a lovely time it was How
sublime it was, too I didn't know what day
it was You held my hand Thanks, Mother.
Take it easy, Pete.
Norton's got a nasty disposition.
Yeah.
Grand to be alive To be young,
to be mad, to be yours alone Grand to see
your face, feel your touch, hear your voice say.
Drive around back by the river.
And I know what time it is now.
Get up.
I'm Joe Norton.
I don't like people minding my business.
Understand?
I don't think he understands.
Now he understands.
Pete.
Oh, no.
Honey.
Pete.
I think so.
You want me to call a doctor?
Well, I'm all right.
Sure.
Just look at you.
You're in great shape.
Trust me to make a stupid suggestion.
It's nice to have somebody worry.
It is, huh?
Well, I could worry better if you get into something less
dangerous, like wrestling
alligators or testing parachute rejects.
Every time you get beat up, I ain't call over.
Ha, you wait.
I have a compatible psyche.
Huh?
Where'd you get that?
Out of a book.
People who have compatible psyches get
side reactions and sympathy pains.
And it's true.
It is?
Uh, where's it hurt?
There.
Oh.
How about you?
That's better.
Pete?
Huh?
Well, you could give them their money back.
Give who what money back?
Whoever it was that hired you to get hurt.
Nobody hired me to get hurt.
I managed it all by myself.
I gotta go now.
You coming back?
Depends.
I'll wait.
I'll try.
How's your memory for robberies?
Rapidly improving.
Case history of a $200,000 robbery on a payroll job.
What does it say about Joe Nord?
He was picked up at the time of the robbery.
He was released for lack of evidence.
We've been waiting for four years for that
money to show up.
That's a long wait.
A lot of money.
My client promised me a lot of money if I
find his girlfriend.
How'd you do?
I found her.
With Joe Nord?
How'd you like to get Nord?
I'd like it.
I think Robin plans to get my fee out of
his end of the payroll job.
If he does, I confiscate your fee.
He'll have to find the money first.
I'm listening.
Yeah, I'm going to like it.
Release Cy Robin.
You're out of your mind.
Let him go.
Put out the word that because of new
evidence, you've decided to release him.
Come on, Pete.
Why not?
Robin is not being held in a vagrancy rap.
It's murder, remember?
You want to get Nord?
Yes.
You want the $200,000?
You want me back pounding a beat?
You know very well that Nord hired Louis
Dorsen to stop Cy before he could collect his share.
Nord saves $100,000 and eliminates the
only witness that could tie him into the robbery.
It's still just an opinion until there's proof.
Don't release Cy Robin.
He goes one of two places, either to Nord or to Sally.
If he goes to Sally's, bug the apartment,
you've got your proof.
On some wild chance that we might overhear something,
you want me to plant a microphone in her apartment?
Yeah.
The place has been bugged for the last two weeks.
Fine.
Now all you have to do is release Robin.
No.
It's too big a gamble.
I can't take this.
You think you have a chance of letting Robin go?
Yes.
You'd rather let Joe Nord go, huh?
Bring Cy Robin down here.
Listen, my friend, if this thing doesn't
work out, I'm moving in with you.
You're going to have a charity case on
your hands for the next 50 years.
You keep getting excited like this,
you won't last another week.
Yeah.
Right.
Cy Robin is just going in.
Did you get anything earlier?
Nothing much.
When that doorbell rings, it's about recording.
Checked.
Hello, Cy.
Come in.
Can I get you a drink?
No, thanks.
It's good to see you.
Is it?
Nice place.
Looks like you've been doing pretty good.
What do you want, Cy?
Sally.
Please.
What's happened?
What's happened?
Cy, what do you think's happened?
Four years have happened.
I know, but not for me.
Sally, I told you.
I remember what you told me.
I remember a lot of things you told me.
And I remember that I believed them.
I believed them right up to that minute they arrested you.
I took that rap for Joe Nord.
I could have thrown him to the wolves.
I could have turned state's evidence.
But I did it so we could have a future.
Well, I'm going to do you a favor, Cy.
Forget about Joe Nord.
Forget about Joe Nord?
Forget all the things you did for four years?
Forget all the plans we had?
I've forgotten.
No.
No.
We had too much.
I've forgotten, Cy.
We had something once.
Or maybe I just thought we had something.
We did, Sally.
We had so much.
Well, whatever it was is gone.
It just doesn't exist anymore.
Did it for you.
Get out of here.
Get out before Joe finds you.
Joe?
Yes, Joe.
Joe Nord.
I'm his girl.
I've been his girl for a long time.
All of this belongs to Joe Nord.
I belong to Joe Nord.
Why, you cheap.
Oh, sure, I'm cheap, like I was always cheap.
No, not always.
When did it change, Cy?
Not always when.
When they arrested you, when I found out
what you really were?
Oh, that wonderful future we were going to have together.
All that hard work and all the kids we planned to have.
Yeah.
All right.
Get downstairs and cover the street.
No, I just entered the building.
Stay with it.
Sally.
Please, leave me alone.
Cy, in here.
Hello, Cy.
I waited for you at the warehouse.
Yeah, I heard you ran into some trouble.
Joe.
Relax, honey.
I guess I owe you $100,000.
No, you don't owe me anything.
But I owe you something.
Now I'm going to the police, Joe.
Let's get some sleep.
Anything I can do?
No, thanks.
I'm going to the police.
I'm going to the police.
