Come in, Mr. Gunn.
Shut the door, please.
Please sit down.
Now you know why I asked you to knock on
the door three times and let yourself in.
I've had to take it easy since the accident.
How did it happen?
Collision on the highway.
You said on the phone you wanted me to
locate someone for you?
Yeah, my brother.
We lost contact with each other a few years ago.
I understand he's right here in this town.
Didn't you give your brother's name on the accident?
Oh, no.
It was a pretty bad smash-up.
I'm afraid I wasn't thinking too clear.
When did the accident happen?
Last weekend.
Well, now that you're over your state of shock,
don't you think you ought to contact the police?
I'll have to be honest with you, Mr. Gunn.
Why don't you do that?
You see, my brother and I had a
misunderstanding a few years ago.
He might not come if he knew I was looking.
All I want you to do is find out exactly
where he is and let me know.
But don't tell him about me for now.
What's your brother's name?
Frank Norbert.
Will this take care of your fee?
$2,000.
That's a lot of money for an address.
I'll, um, I'll see what I can do.
We'll need an extra four cars and blue.
Blue area.
You and Gordon patrol white area out to Beacon and Brand.
Okay, Sarge.
Hey, Rainey.
Hello, Pete.
Where's Jacoby?
In the captain's office.
The captain's pretty upset about that prison break.
Yeah, I read about it.
Pretty well-organized escape.
How'd that guy in the minister's clothes
get into the prison?
Uh, prison chaplain got a call.
A man identifying himself as a Reverend
Wilson wanted to pay a visit.
Nothing unusual about the request.
The chaplain okayed the pass.
The man impersonates minister, smuggles in gun.
Joe Tabor walks out in a guard's uniform.
Not bad.
It'll do.
The captain's got a particular interest in Joe Tabor.
Yeah?
How's that?
Killed a guard in a payroll heist.
$300,000 worth.
We managed to locate Tabor, but the money
was never recovered.
Better luck this time.
That's the general idea.
Hey, Morgan!
Get a man to cover the hotels and rooming
houses in the downtown area.
Incidentally, Rainey, did you have a
chance to run that accident check for me?
The state highway patrol is happy to report
there were no highway collisions last weekend.
Here.
What's this?
That's a little fee I just picked up.
Give it to Jacoby.
If my hunch is right, he'll probably wind
up confiscating it.
Okay.
Hey, Tom.
Oh, and while I'm here, your department
got anything on a Frank Norbert?
Norbert.
Norbert.
Enterprising young man with a good lawyer.
Owns a barbershop at 4th and Brand.
It's a front.
For what?
We'd like to find out.
Thanks, Rainey.
Tell Jacoby I'll check with him, huh?
All right.
Tom, I want you to check
Closed it after six.
Door was open.
You can close it on the way out.
I'm not looking for a haircut.
You came to the right place.
We don't do nothing after hours.
Union.
I'm trying to find Frank in orbit.
Who wants to find him?
I do.
Who are you?
Peter Gunn.
I'll tell him when he comes in.
When's that?
You never can tell.
It's important.
You threw asking questions.
Thanks for your help.
Hello, Pete.
Hello, Mother.
It shows.
What?
The problem.
Trying to locate Frank Norbert.
He's out of season.
The heat or something came down on him.
He's gone underground for the winter.
You sure?
It's the word around town.
I'd like to talk to him.
Why don't you wait till things cool off?
What's the heat?
Nobody knows.
Norbert got some kind of a cold.
He said a word and he temporarily suspended operations.
Just like that.
Yeah, I know.
I dropped by his barber shop.
Oh, don't get shaved there.
I almost did.
Like I said You don't care about growing old.
You just want to talk to Norbert.
I'll make a couple of calls.
Thanks, Mother.
I like New York in June.
How about you?
I like a Gershwin tune.
How about you?
I love a fireside when a storm is due.
I like potato chips and moonlight and motor trips.
How about you?
I'm mad about good books.
Can't get my fill.
And Eisenhower's looks give me a thrill.
Olden hands in a movie show when all the lights are low.
May not be new, but I like it.
I like it.
I like it.
How about you?
Heard a story that'll make you cry.
What's it about?
A little girl singer has an investigator
type fellow for a boyfriend.
What's so sad about that?
I haven't finished.
I'm waiting.
Investigator fellow.
Comes in.
Goes out.
And the little girl singer just keeps waiting for him.
Yeah, well, from what I hear, he always shows up.
Not often enough.
Well, this story's beginning to have its cheerful chapters.
You got a tag for your story?
Little girl singer's working on it.
Want to tell me how it turns out?
Well, you'll know, Mr. Investigator fellow.
I hope I'm interrupting.
You're interrupting something.
Now about Norbert.
It's hard to believe, but he has a father.
Where?
Well, he runs a restaurant at 423 Post Street.
I'll see you later.
Now, there's that line from that very sad story.
Try and cheer her up, will you, Mother?
She's developed some bad reading habits.
What's he talking about?
About a book I'm going to write.
Let's go.
I didn't say think it over.
I said let's go.
Mr. Gunn.
Well, that's not much of an introduction.
I'm Frank Norbert.
Yeah, I've been trying to locate you.
So I've heard.
Which brings us to the next question.
What's that?
You tell me.
A client of mine is interested in getting your address.
What's your client's name?
He doesn't care to be identified.
Joe Tabor sent you to find me, now didn't he?
Didn't he?
Did he?
No.
No.
I've been expecting him to call ever since he broke out.
Did Joe tell you he had some money coming to him?
Yeah, his share
His share of the $300,000.
All right, Gunn, take us to him, we'll settle our account.
Yeah, well, I think you'd better let me
take the money to Tabor.
He's not very happy with you right now.
There might be some shooting before you
can get around to negotiating.
No, Joe wouldn't do a thing like that.
Especially not if we shoot him first, now, would he?
All right, let's go.
Hello?
Pete, this is Rainey.
I've been trying to reach you for the last hour.
Lieutenant Jacoby wanted to talk to you.
Where you been?
Just had a little conversation over at
Frank Norbert's barbershop.
Where's Jacoby?
Came downstairs, phone rang, went back upstairs.
The captain?
The captain.
Uh, Rainey, you know that envelope I gave you for Jacoby?
You can tell him to keep it.
Got it.
And tell him that since Tabor broke out of
prison, Norbert's been underground.
Seems there was some unfinished business between them.
Like what?
Like his share of the payroll robbery.
Now, look, uh, Norbert's got a father.
He has a restaurant at 423 Post.
I'm on my way over there.
If I know Lieutenant Jacoby, I think he'll
probably get nervous and meet you.
I think you're probably right.
See you later, Rainey.
I'm on my way over there.
Come on.
Good evening.
Good evening.
Would you like to see a menu?
We'd like to talk to you.
Yes.
I understand you're Frank Norbert's father.
I had a boy named Frank once.
Where is he?
Who are you?
What do you want him for?
We have reason to believe that he was
involved in a payroll robbery.
A man was killed.
Why the error?
Another man was convicted of the killing.
We don't know how deeply your son was involved.
Frank Norbert.
Not Norbinski like my father and my father's father.
Frank Norbert, he calls himself.
Papa, he says, take some money.
What do you want to run a crummy little restaurant for?
Take some money.
Take some money that I killed people for.
Mr. Norbinski.
I don't see him lately.
What's he need me for?
Something is wrong.
He comes here.
Something's been wrong lately.
I'm going to show you something.
If he finds out, maybe, maybe he'll kill me.
Maybe that's just as well.
Please.
When he was little, he slept here.
Now he sleeps here when something is wrong.
When was he here last?
This afternoon.
He went away early this evening.
He said he's going to be back tonight.
Did you bring anything with him?
Any personal effects, any clothing?
He only stays here a night or two, then he goes away.
All he ever brings with him is a little steel box.
Where does he keep it?
I don't know.
Maybe here, maybe he has it with him.
He guards that little box his daughter filled with jewels.
Or the proceeds of a robbery.
Mr. Norvinsky.
A little later this evening, a man's going
to come to your restaurant.
Now, he may or may not ask for Frank.
Don't try to stop him.
All right.
Hello?
This is Peter Gunn.
I've got an address on Frank Norbert.
Where?
423 Post.
That's a restaurant.
Use the side door.
First room up the stairs.
Thanks.
The guy with the tape matches the
description of the guy who posted the minister.
Brought in the bag.
Joe.
It's been a long time, Frank.
I read about you breaking out, Joe.
It was real neat.
Okay.
Anything I can do for you, Joe, you know, anything.
I want my share of the payroll job.
Sure, Joe, sure.
I always intended to, you know.
You know, just that you got nabbed so quick after the job.
Too quick, Frank.
It was almost as though someone tipped the
cops on way to look.
Oh, Joe.
I'm really glad you made it out.
I really am.
I want my $150,000.
$150,000, Frank.
I want it.
Now.
Sure, Joe.
Sure.
You know, you're a really lucky guy, Joe.
You know, I carry my bank right with me.
I got it right here.
Frank.
Be very careful.
Hold it, Norbert.
Take him in.
Norbertsky.
