Mission: Impossible (1966–1973): Season 5, Episode 15 - Cat's Paw - full transcript

DID YOUR BROTHER
EXPLAIN TO YOU

WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON,
MR. COLLIER?

JUST THAT SOME
OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD CROOKS

HAVE PUSHED OUT
THE OLD WHITE SYNDICATE

AND MOVED IN
ON THE LOCAL RACKETS.

EXACTLY.

BUT A BLACK MOB IS JUST
AS VICIOUS AS A WHITE ONE.

THAT'S WHY I'M FIGHTING IT.

WHITE OR BLACK,
NOBODY OPERATES IN THE GHETTO

WITHOUT CAPTAIN ABBOT.

GET ME ENOUGH PROOF
TO INDICT ABBOT,



AND THE WHOLE THING FOLDS.

I'LL GET YOU YOUR PROOF, JIMMY.

I BELIEVE YOUR BROTHER MEANS IT,
MR. COLLIER.

LIEUTENANT, MY BROTHER NEVER
SAYS ANYTHING HE DOESN'T MEAN.

I JUST HOPE HE'S NOT

ON A COLLISION COURSE
WITH A BULLET.

AMEN TO THAT.

NICE TO HAVE MET YOU.

GOOD TO HAVE MET YOU,
MR. SCANLON.

HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

LIEUTENANT.

YOU KNOW,
SCANLON'S A GOOD D.A.,

BUT SO FAR HE HAS
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO GO ON.

HEY, I GOT AN EDITORIAL
TO GET OUT,



AND YOU'VE GOT
A PLANE TO CATCH.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

HEY...TELL MOM
I'M SORRY I HAVEN'T WRITTEN.

[ BOTH LAUGH ]

BUT I'M GONNA GET TO HER SOON.

SURE, YOU WILL.

HEY, WHEN WE GONNA TAKE
THAT FISHING TRIP?

AT YOUR CONVENIENCE, SIR.

AT MY CONVENIENCE?

YOU KNOW, FOR AN ENGINEER,
YOU SURE GET AROUND A LOT.

I DO DO THAT, BIG BROTHER.

LARRY...

DO ME A FAVOR.

WHATEVER YOU SAY.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

WILL DO.

SEE YOU SOON.

[ TIRES SCREECH ]

LARRY!

LARRY?

SOMEBODY GET AN AMBULANCE!

LARRY...

BARNEY,
I CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING!

I CAN'T
HEAR ANYTHING!

[ SIRENS WAIL ]

[ "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE" THEME
PLAYS ]

BARNEY'S BROTHER
WAS MURDERED

BECAUSE HE WAS CLOSE
TO ESTABLISHING A LINK

BETWEEN THE PRECINCT CHIEF,
CAPTAIN ABBOT,

AND THE HEAD OF THE MOB
THAT RUNS THE GHETTO,

GEORGE CORLEY.

JIM, BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER,
I'VE GOT TO SAY THIS AGAIN.

I HAVE NO RIGHT
TO GET YOU INVOLVED

IN MY PERSONAL PROBLEMS --

BARNEY, YOU'RE WASTING TIME.

THAT'S RIGHT, BARNEY.

WHY DO YOU THINK
WE'RE HERE?

THANKS.

YOUR CRIMINAL FILE
IS ALREADY ON RECORD

WITH THE SAN ROBERTO
POLICE, BARNEY.

GOOD.

WILLIAM GOSLIN,
THE ACCOUNTANT

THEY HELD OVER
FROM THE OLD MOB,

HOW LONG HAS HE BEEN
INTERESTED IN SPIRITUALISM?

SIX MONTHS, DANA,
SINCE HIS WIFE DIED.

NOW, THIS IS
AN AUDITION RECORD

THAT SHE CUT
SIX YEARS AGO

WHEN SHE WAS KIND OF
A MINOR-LEAGUE SINGER.

GOOD MORNING,
MY NAME IS CLAIRE TAYLOR.

I'VE BEEN ASKED
TO MAKE THIS RECORDING

AS A TEST OF MY SINGING
AND SPEAKING VOICES.

NOW, IT'S NOT NECESSARY

THAT YOU IMITATE
HER VOICE EXACTLY, DANA,

BECAUSE THE SPIRIT WILL USE

YOUR VOCAL CHORDS
TO MANIFEST ITSELF.

WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS THE DIALECT,
THE INTONATION.

I'LL WORK ON IT.

NOW, HER NICKNAME FOR HIM
WAS "TIPPY."

NO ONE ELSE HAS EVER USED IT.

THAT WILL HELP.

WHAT ABOUT
THE SPIRITUALIST -- DR. WYATT?

HE'S AGREED
TO ACCEPT A CONTRIBUTION

TO HIS FAVORITE CHARITY.

MILLIE WEBSTER.

GOOD-LOOKING GIRL.

YEAH, GOOD-LOOKING,

CORLEY'S TRUSTED
PRIVATE SECRETARY,

AND MY WAY
INTO CORLEY'S ORGANIZATION.

[ WOMAN SCREAMS ]

[ SCREAMS ]

OH, THANKS.

NOT MANY GUYS
WOULD HAVE BOTHERED.

IT'S A DUMB THING TO DO.

I COULD HAVE
GOT MYSELF KILLED.

THERE'S A HOSPITAL
NEAR HERE.

LET ME TAKE YOU.

FORGET IT.
ALL I NEED IS A BANDAGE.

GOOD, I KNOW WHERE
THERE'S A WHOLE BOXFUL.

COME ON.

IT'S A NICE LAYOUT.

IT'S OKAY.

HE IS
A PROMINENT SPIRITUALIST

IN FRANKFURT, WEST GERMANY,
WHO HAS KINDLY OFFERED

TO CONDUCT TONIGHT'S SITTING.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
PERMIT ME TO INTRODUCE TO YOU

MR. FREDERICK BAUER.

THANK YOU, DR. WYATT.

GOOD EVENING, FRIENDS.

MY CONTROL IS KNOWN TO ME
AS ALFRED,

A BELGIAN INFANTRYMAN
KILLED DURING WORLD WAR I.

THROUGH HIM,
I SHALL ATTEMPT TO CONTACT

THOSE OF YOUR LOVED ONES
WHO HAVE PASSED BEYOND THE VEIL.

HELLO.

I HAVE A MESSAGE...

FOR...

PHILIP.

PHILIP.

THERE IS A MAN HERE...

WHO GIVES HIS NAME AS COLLINS.

HE SAYS...

THERE IS NO NEED...

TO WORRY.

I'M MILLIE WEBSTER.

GLAD TO MEET YOU, MILLIE.

AND YOU?

OH, SORRY.

BREZLOV ZORDOVICH.

BREZLOV?

YOU'RE KIDDING.

YEAH.

WELL, YOU'RE SAYING
IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS?

THIS IS GOING TO HURT YOU
MORE THAN IT DOES ME.

THERE IS A YOUNG LADY
HERE FOR THE FIRST TIME.

HER NAME IS...

I SEE A SEWING BASKET,
SPOOLS OF THREAD,

A THIMBLE,
A THIM--

THEL -- THELMA --

THELMA!

I'M THELMA.

THELMA MORRIS.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

YOUR FATHER
IS HERE WITH ME, THELMA.

HE IS SADDENED BY YOUR GRIEF.

HE WANTS YOU TO KNOW
THAT HE IS WITH YOU CONSTANTLY.

HE HAS A MESSAGE
FOR YOUR MOTHER.

TIPPY!

TIPPY!

CAN YOU HEAR ME?

PLEASE, BE QUIET.

WAIT!

SHE CALLED ME "TIPPY."

NO ONE'S CALLED ME THAT
EXCEPT MY WIFE.

[ Moans ]
TIPPY!

GOT TO BE...CAREFUL.

THEY'RE PLANNING...

PLEASE, LET ME
FINISH MY MESSAGE

TO THIS YOUNG LADY.

SHUT UP!
THIS IS MY WIFE.

SHE'S MY WIFE.

SHE'S TRYING
TO TELL ME SOMETHING.

PLEASE, DARLING,

GO ON, I'M LISTENING.

TIPPY, GOT TO GET AWAY

WHILE YOU CAN.

YOU'RE IN DANGER!

TIPPY?
TIPPY, WHERE ARE YOU?

TIPPY!

I CAN'T SEE YOU ANYMORE.

SO DARK...

THANKS, MILLIE.

OH, THINK NOTHING OF IT,

BREZLOV.

MAKE IT CLIFF.

MUCH BETTER.

ARE YOU A DRINKING MAN?

WELL, NOW THAT
YOU MENTION IT.

AND I WAS
BEGINNING TO THINK

YOUR ONLY VICE
WAS GABBINESS.

WHO'S YOUR FRIEND, MILLIE?

I THOUGHT THIS WAS YOUR NIGHT
OUT ON THE TOWN, HAMP.

HAD A LITTLE HEADACHE.

WHO IS HE?

A FRIEND.

LISTEN, BABY,

ANY STRANGE CAT
COMES IN HERE,

IT'S MY BUSINESS
TO KNOW WHO HE IS.

THIS GENTLEMAN WAS HURT

WHEN HE KEPT A THIEF
FROM GRABBING MY PURSE.

OLDEST TRICK IN THE BAG,
AND YOU FELL FOR IT.

TAKE OFF YOUR COAT.

TAKE IT OFF,
OR GET A HOLE IN IT.

[ SIGHS ]

CLIFFORD MORGAN, HUH?

STAR HOTEL --

A SEWER WITH DIRTY WINDOWS.

PICK THEM UP AND GET OUT.

SURE.

PUT IT DOWN.

PUT IT AWAY.

HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?

I BROUGHT HIM, MR. CORLEY, HE --

LET HIM TELL IT.

WELL, SOME CAT WAS GIVING
THIS YOUNG LADY SOME TROUBLE.

I STEPPED IN TO HELP
AND GOT SLUGGED.

SHE BROUGHT ME UP HERE
FOR SOME REPAIRS.

THAT'S ABOUT IT, MR. CORLEY --

EXCEPT FOR GETTING
SLAPPED AROUND

AND HAVING GUNS POINTED AT ME.

YOUR NAME?

CLIFF MORGAN.

WE ARE AN INSURANCE COMPANY,
MR. MORGAN.

MOST OF OUR RECEIPTS
ARE IN CASH

BROUGHT IN
BY DOOR-TO-DOOR COLLECTORS.

WHERE THERE ARE
LARGE SUMS OF MONEY,

THERE ARE USUALLY GUNS.

MAY I ASK
WHAT YOU DO

FOR A LIVING, MR. MORGAN?

WELL, MR. CORLEY,
RIGHT NOW I'M BETWEEN JOBS.

ARE YOU IN NEED OF MONEY?

NOT UNLESS YOU CALL $4 "MONEY."

AS A WAY OF THANKING YOU
FOR PROTECTING MY SECRETARY.

THANKS, MR. CORLEY.

GOOD NIGHT, SIR.

LET MR. MORGAN OUT, PLEASE.

YEAH, SURE,
I'LL CHECK IT OUT FOR YOU.

OKAY.

NOW, WHAT DID YOU SAY
YOUR NAME WAS?

JONES -- PHILIP JONES.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN MIND,
MR. JONES?

WELL, I HAVE A BUSINESS
PROPOSITION FOR YOU, CAPTAIN.

YOU MIND IF I SIT DOWN?

WHAT IT BOILS DOWN TO
IS THIS, CAPTAIN --

THE RACKETS IN YOUR DISTRICT
ARE RUN BY A NEGRO OUTFIT.

THEY CAN'T OPERATE
WITHOUT YOUR PROTECTION.

NOW WHAT I'M PROPOSING

IS THAT YOU TRANSFER
THAT PROTECTION

FROM CORLEY'S MOB
TO AN ORGANIZATION

THAT I REPRESENT.

AS AN INDICATION
OF GOOD FAITH,

WE MIGHT START WITH,
SAY, UH...

$20,000.

LATER ON, WE'D WORK OUT
AN EQUITABLE PERCENTAGE

BASED ON OUR PROFITS.

WHO'S YOUR HEAD MAN?

WELL, I'D HAVE TO LET HIM
ANSWER THAT QUESTION.

NO, NO DEAL.

I DROP CORLEY, AND YOU COME IN,
THE FIRST THING YOU KNOW

WE'VE GOT A FULL-SCALE GANG WAR
ON OUR HANDS.

WE CAN HANDLE
ANY TROUBLE, CAPTAIN.

WELL, I CAN'T.

YOU GO SHOOTING UP
THE NEIGHBORHOOD

AND THE HEAT FRIES EVERYBODY.

I JUST COULDN'T
GO THROUGH WITH IT AGAIN.

IT'S TOO CREEPY.

THERE'S NOTHING
TO BE AFRAID OF, MY DEAR.

A SPIRIT WILL
OFTEN COMMUNICATE

THROUGH A LIVING PERSON

WHO IS PARTICULARLY ATTUNED
TO ITS PSYCHIC VIBRATIONS.

MY WIFE IS TRYING TO WARN ME
OF SOMETHING, MISS MORRIS.

YOU'RE MY ONLY WAY
OF GETTING THROUGH TO HER.

WHAT DO I DO?

A PRIVATE SITTING.

JUST THE THREE OF US --
ANYTIME, ANYPLACE.

[ SIGHS ]

LOOK, I'LL PAY YOU.

ANYTHING, ANYTHING YOU SAY.

NO...

ALL RIGHT.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

RIGHT ON TIME.

AND YOU'RE READY --
THAT'S VERY UN-LADYLIKE.

I MUST HAVE GONE

TO THE WRONG
FINISHING SCHOOL, SORRY.

IT'S A NICE PAD.

THANKS.

THAT DRINK WE NEVER
GOT TO HAVE LAST NIGHT,

WHAT WAS IT GOING TO BE?

SCOTCH ON THE ROCKS.

MR. CORLEY WAS
IMPRESSED WITH YOU.

HE DID SOME CHECKING.

THAT MUST HAVE BEEN EXCITING.

IT WAS --

ACCOUNTANT FOR A WEST COAST
GAMBLING OPERATION,

THEN YOU SWITCHED OVER

TO AN OUTFIT
THAT RAN THE NUMBERS

AND THE JUICE RACKETS
IN SAN ROBERTO.

I WON'T EVEN
MENTION THE FACT

OF THE 11 ARRESTS

AND THE FACT THERE'S
A WARRANT OUT FOR YOU

ON A CON GAME CHARGE.

THAT MAKES TWO OF US, RIGHT?

I MEAN YOU AND ME --

TWO UNDERWORLD CHARACTERS
SITTING AROUND

DRINKING IMPORTED BOOZE.

SO, YOU KNOW.

MM-HMM.

HAVING ALL THOSE GUNS
POINTED AT ME LAST NIGHT

MADE ME A LITTLE CURIOUS.

SO THIS MORNING
I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH

ON THE LIFELINE
INSURANCE COMPANY.

IT'S A FRONT
FOR THE BLACK GHETTO MOB --

BLACKS PEDDLING DOPE TO BLACKS,

SELLING PROTECTION
TO BLACK STOREKEEPERS,

PRYING BLACK FAMILIES LOOSE
FROM THEIR WELFARE CHECKS

WITH LOANSHARKING
AND NUMBERS RACKET.

I SUPPOSE YOU'D RATHER SEE
WHITEY GET IT ALL.

COME ON, MILLIE,
A CAT PICKS YOUR POCKET,

IT DOESN'T MATTER
WHAT COLOR HIS FINGERS ARE.

MAYBE I MADE A MISTAKE
INVITING YOU HERE.

WHY DID YOU
INVITE ME, MILLIE?

TO FIND OUT FOR MR. CORLEY
IF YOU WANTED A JOB.

DOING WHAT?

WE NEED
AN EXPERIENCED ACCOUNTANT.

WHAT'S WRONG
WITH THE ONE YOU'VE GOT?

FOR ONE THING,

HE'S A HOLDOVER
FROM THE OLD MOB,

AND MR. CORLEY HAS
NEVER REALLY TRUSTED HIM.

EVERYTHING IS COMPUTERIZED.

CAN YOU RUN A BRUKER 870?

I CUT MY TEETH ON A BRUKER.

YOU MUST HAVE HAD
SOME WILD DENTIST BILLS.

THE MONEY'S GOOD, CLIFF.

GET YOURSELF A SHARP APARTMENT.

FIX IT UP FAR OUT.
WHO KNOWS?

SOME SWINGIN' TYPE FEMALE
MIGHT WANT IN OUT OF THE COLD.

WHO SAYS CRIME DOESN'T PAY?

SURE, IT PAYS.

WHY DO YOU THINK I'M HERE?

[ ADDING MACHINE CLICKING ]

CLIFF, AS SOON
AS YOU GET A TOTAL,

BRING IT DOWN
TO MY OFFICE.

IT SHOULD MATCH
WHAT WE HAVE IN HERE.

RIGHT, MR. CORLEY.

MORNING, MR. CORLEY.

BILL, I WANT YOU
TO MEET CLIFF MORGAN.

MR. MORGAN'S
COMING IN WITH US

AS YOUR ASSISTANT.

OH, WELL, I'M NOT EXACTLY
OVERWORKED, YOU KNOW?

AT THE RATE WE'RE GROWING,
YOU SOON WILL BE.

THE TAPE SAYS $112,000,

BUT THERE'S $122,000
IN CASH HERE.

NOW, THAT'S A $10,000 OVERAGE.

I WANT TO KNOW WHY.

I CAN'T BELIEVE

THAT THERE IS
AN OVERAGE, MR. CORLEY.

OBVIOUSLY, MR. MORGAN, HERE,

MUST HAVE MADE A MISTAKE
IN RUNNING THE TAPE.

THEN I MADE THE SAME MISTAKE,
BECAUSE I RAN A TOTAL MYSELF.

I CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT.

I'M NOT GOING
TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND IT.

YOU MAKE SURE THAT EXTRA $10,000
SHOWS UP ON A DEPOSIT SLIP

AND NOT IN YOUR POCKET.

ARE YOU ACCUSING ME OF --
OF TRYING -- OF TRYING TO --

[ SOFT MUSIC PLAYS ]

YOU'RE A QUESTION MARK,
YOU KNOW, MILLIE?

YOU GOT LOOKS, CLASS,
PROBABLY EVEN MONEY IN THE BANK.

YOU'D THINK
I'D HAVE TO FIGHT MY WAY

THROUGH A WHOLE GANG OF CATS
JUST TO SAY HELLO.

YOU MEAN YOU MISS
THE COMPETITION?

NOT SO MUCH MISS IT.
JUST WONDER WHY THERE ISN'T ANY.

VERY SIMPLE.

I DON'T GO IN
FOR CHEAP ROMANCES.

NOT ANYMORE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I LIKE
ABOUT YOU, CLIFF?

YOU DON'T COME ON
LIKE THE GREEN BERETS.

THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME
WE'VE SEEN EACH OTHER,

AND YOU STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN
AROUND TO MENTIONING

MY FINE MIND
AND MY SENSITIVE SOUL.

MAYBE I WAS THINKING
ABOUT OTHER THINGS.

HE'S READY TO LET GOSLIN GO
WHENEVER YOU GIVE THE WORD.

I DON'T WANT TO TALK BUSINESS.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT?

I DON'T.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

I BETTER GET IT.

[ RINGING CONTINUES ]

HELLO?

MILLIE, IS THAT GUY CLIFF
WITH YOU?

NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, HAMP.

WELL, IF HE'S THERE,

I'VE GOT A MESSAGE FOR HIM
FROM CORLEY.

PUT HIM ON.

HE SAYS IT'S A MESSAGE
FROM MR. CORLEY.

WHAT IS IT, HAMP?

THIS IS THE MESSAGE,

ONLY IT'S FROM ME, MAN,
NOT CORLEY.

STAY AWAY FROM MILLIE
OR I'LL KILL YOU.

[ Receiver clicks ]

IS THERE ANYTHING
BETWEEN YOU AND HAMP?

NO, NEVER.

BE CAREFUL, CLIFF.

KILLING IS EASY FOR HIM.

WOULD MY WEDDING RING DO?

EXCELLENT.

ESPECIALLY IF THE DEPARTED

SELECTED IT FOR YOU HERSELF.

YES, IT WAS A GIFT
FROM HER TO ME

ON OUR FIRST
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

NOW, THELMA,

YOU HOLD IT
TIGHTLY IN YOUR HAND.

PUT YOUR HAND ON MINE...

AND YOUR HAND ON THELMA'S.

GOOD.

NOW, THELMA, YOU MUST
COMPLETELY RELAX.

LET YOUR MIND GO BLANK,

EXCEPT FOR THE WORD
"CLAIRE."

REPEAT IT SILENTLY,
OVER AND OVER.

THERE IS A VERY LOVELY
YOUNG WOMAN

STANDING NEXT TO ME.

MR. GOSLIN,
SHE MAY BE YOUR WIFE.

HER THOUGHTS
ARE CLOSED TO ME.

SHE SEEMS VERY DISTRESSED,
AS THOUGH --

TIPPY?

TIPPY, CAN YOU HEAR ME?

ANSWER ME!

PLEASE.

TIPPY --

OH, CLAIRE, I HEAR YOU.

LISTEN TO ME.

YOUR VOICE SOUNDS --

DARLING, LISTEN TO ME.

DANGER!

[ SIGHS ] Oh, terrible...

CLAIRE, I CAN'T HEAR YOU.

PEOPLE...

WANT TO KILL YOU!

WHO? WHAT PEOPLE? WHY?

CORLEY -- HE'S GOT SOMEBODY
TO DO YOUR WORK --

OH, A BLACK MAN.

YES.

I'LL GO SEE CORLEY TONIGHT
AND TELL HIM I WANT OUT.

NO...NO...YOU CAN'T.

CLAIRE...CLAIRE, ARE YOU THERE?

CAN'T LET YOU OUT...

KNOW TOO MUCH.

WHAT CAN I DO, DARLING?

I CAN'T GO TO THE POLICE,

AND I CAN'T SPEND THE REST
OF MY LIFE RUNNING FROM CORLEY.

TAKE THINGS...

WHAT THINGS?

SPEAK UP, DARLING,
I CAN'T HEAR YOU.

INFORMATION THAT CAN HURT THEM.

TAKE IT!

HIDE IT!

HE'LL BE AFRAID OF YOU.

OH, CLAIRE,
WILL YOU COME BACK AGAIN?

I'M LONELY.

I MISS YOU SO MUCH,
DARLING.

OH, I DON'T KNOW...

I DON'T KNOW...

I'LL TRY, I'LL TRY...

HELLO, JIM.

HE'S ON HIS WAY.

RIGHT, PARIS.

[ CLICK ]

[ HISSING ]

[ JAZZ MUSIC PLAYS ]

[ JAZZ MUSIC PLAYS ]

[ JAZZ MUSIC CONTINUES ]

GET IN, MR. GOSLIN.

WHY HAVE YOU BROUGHT ME
TO A PLACE LIKE THIS?

I DEMAND TO SEE
YOUR SUPERIOR

AND KNOW WHAT CHARGES
ARE AGAINST ME.

WE'RE HERE
INSTEAD OF DOWNTOWN,

BECAUSE WE DIDN'T
WANT THE WORD TO GET OUT

AND SCARE OFF YOUR FRIENDS.

YOU'RE A LUCKY MAN,
MR. GOSLIN,

BECAUSE YOU CAN DO US A FAVOR,
AND WE CAN RECIPROCATE.

NOW, THIS CODE,
THIS IS SOMETHING

YOU WORKED OUT
YOURSELF, ISN'T IT?

OF COURSE I DID.
SO WHAT?

SO I DON'T HAVE TIME
TO HAVE IT BROKEN DOWN.

I NEED INFORMATION.
I NEED IT FAST.

YOU CAN FORGET IT.

LISTEN, MY BOSS WANTS
SOME MURDER CONVICTIONS --

ONE AGAINST POD HAMP

FOR KILLING
A NEWSMAN NAMED COLLIER,

ONE AGAINST CORLEY
FOR ORDERING HIM TO DO IT,

AND ONE AGAINST CAPTAIN ABBOT
FOR CONSPIRACY.

NOW, THIS WILL HELP ME.

NO, SIR.

NO, YOU'RE MAKING
A BIG MISTAKE.

THOSE ARE JUST
FINANCIAL RECORDS.

ALL I KNOW IS
HOW MUCH MONEY COMES IN,

WHERE IT COMES FROM,
WHO IT GOES TO.

AS FAR AS ANY
KILLING IS CONCERNED,

I DON'T KNOW A THING
ABOUT THAT.

NOW, COME ON, YOU CAN'T BE
AROUND MEN LIKE THAT

DAY IN AND DAY OUT
AND NOT KNOW ABOUT IT.

NOW, IF YOU
COOPERATE WITH US,

YOU CAN BE OUT
IN TWO YEARS, AND MAYBE ONE,

AND MAYBE EVEN
A SUSPENDED SENTENCE.

BUT IF YOU DON'T,
YOU'VE HAD IT, MY FRIEND.

I TELL YOU, IT WON'T HELP YOU.

YOU LET ME BE THE JUDGE OF THAT.

YOU KNOW SOMETHING,
MR. GOSLIN?

THERE ARE SOME MEN
WHO CAN TAKE BEING LOCKED UP

FOR 5 YEARS OR FOR 10 YEARS,

BUT YOU ARE NOT ONE OF THEM.

CAPTAIN ABBOT, PLEASE.

CAPTAIN, THIS IS MR. JONES.

YOU RECALL,
I WAS IN TO SEE YOU YESTERDAY?

NOW, YOU'RE NOT GONNA TURN OUT
TO BE A NUISANCE, ARE YOU?

I'M AFRAID I MADE THE MISTAKE
OF TRYING TO RUSH THINGS.

TODAY, I'M A LITTLE
BETTER PREPARED.

FOR INSTANCE, SOMETHING
OUT OF CORLEY'S COMPUTER --

Seems there's a numbered account

in the Strichle Zuricher Bank
in Zurich,

NUMBER AE7414 TO BE EXACT.

THE LAST TWO YEARS
SHOWS MONTHLY DEPOSITS --

HOLD IT.

WHERE DO WE MEET?

THERE'S A PHONE BOOTH

AT THE CORNER
OF GRAND AND COLLINGE.

I'VE GOT A CALL THERE
AT 10:30 TONIGHT.

AND ONE MORE THING --

THE TRIGGER MAN OF CORLEY'S,
POD HAMP, BRING HIM ALONG.

WHY HAMP?

10:30, Captain.

TRANQUILIZER GUN
READY, WILLY?

RIGHT HERE.

NAMES, ADDRESSES,
WHO GOT PAID OFF, HOW MUCH --

YOU KNOW, IN THE WRONG HANDS,

THIS COULD BLOW CORLEY'S SETUP
APART LIKE A SOAP BUBBLE --

AND YOU ALONG WITH IT.

NOT ME, BROTHER.

I'VE GOT SOME IMPORTANT
FRIENDS DOWNTOWN.

YOUR FRIENDS WOULDN'T
GO TO BAT FOR YOU

ON A PARKING TICKET --
NOT IF THIS GOT OUT.

CAPTAIN, THE THING IS,

WE DON'T REALLY
NEED YOU AT ALL.

BUT WE'D RATHER WORK
WITH YOU THAN RISK THEM

PUTTING SOME HONEST COP
IN YOUR OFFICE.

HOW ABOUT IT, ABBOT?
YOU'RE IN OR YOU'RE OUT.

I'M IN.

OKAY.

NOW, ABOUT CORLEY --
WE CAN'T LEAVE HIM

HANGING AROUND LOOSE --
HE'S GOING TO BE TROUBLE --

SO WE LOSE HIM.

HOW ABOUT THIS NEW GUY
CORLEY HIRED?

YOU'VE GOT TO
GET RID OF HIM, TOO.

TAKE CARE OF THEM BOTH TONIGHT.

I'LL TAKE OUT THE NEW GUY,

BUT GET ANOTHER BUTTON MAN
FOR CORLEY.

I'VE KNOWN HIM TOO LONG --

LONG TIME, CORLEY AND ME.

WELL, HAMP,
WE'VE GOT YOU IN MIND

TO TAKE OVER FOR CORLEY.

IT'S OUR PLAN YOU'D
RUN THE WHOLE OPERATION --

ONLY THIS TIME
FOR A PIECE OF THE ACTION,

NOT THE PEANUTS
THAT CORLEY PAYS YOU.

OKAY.

BUT IT CAN'T BE TONIGHT.

THERE'S JUST NO WAY I CAN
GET TO GEORGE THIS LATE.

THERE'S A WAY.

BE AT CORLEY'S HEADQUARTERS
IN ABOUT AN HOUR.

THEY'LL BE THERE WAITING.

[ RING ]

HELLO?

Listen to me good, Millie.

GET IN TOUCH WITH CORLEY
AND CLIFF MORGAN,

AND TELL THEM TO GET DOWN
TO CORLEY'S HEADQUARTERS QUICK.

YEAH, WHAT'S HAPPENING?

I don't pay you
to ask questions, Millie,

but if you have to have
a reason,

TELL THEM THAT YOU GOT A TIP
THAT GOSLIN WENT

INTO THE D.A.'s OFFICE
AN HOUR AGO

CARRYING A BRIEFCASE.

YEAH, I SEE.

WHAT'S WRONG?

THAT WAS A FRIEND
OF MINE DOWNTOWN.

GOSLIN IS TALKING TO THE D.A.

I'LL CALL GEORGE.

YOU BETTER MEET HIM
AT THE OFFICE RIGHT AWAY.

I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

YEAH, LATER.

WE'VE GOT TO FIND OUT
WHAT HE TOOK WITH HIM.

WITHOUT THE CODE BOOK,
THERE'S NOT MUCH I CAN DO.

GIVE IT A TRY ANYWAY.

OKAY.

WHY DO YOU THINK GOSLIN
SUDDENLY DECIDED TO TALK?

I DON'T KNOW.

I ALSO CANNOT FIGURE OUT

WHERE HAMP IS
THIS TIME OF NIGHT.

I'M NOT HAVING MUCH LUCK.

WHERE YOU BEEN, HAMP?

WE'VE BEEN LOOKING
ALL OVER FOR YOU.

I'VE BEEN OUT.

WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE?

WHY, POD?

ABBOT'S GOT HIMSELF
A NEW DEAL.

BUNCH OF WHITE BOYS
GONNA TAKE OVER.

AND YOU'RE IN WITH THEM?

MAN'S GOT TO GO WITH
THE SMART MONEY, GEORGE.

YOU TOLD ME THAT YOURSELF
A LONG TIME AGO.

TURN AROUND.

POD!

GET OUT OF HERE!

ABBOT SENT ME TO, UH,

TELL YOU TO GIVE
CLIFF A PASS.

WHY HIM?

HE DIDN'T SAY.

GO ON, CLIFF,
YOU CAN LEAVE.

HE STAYS --
YOU'RE LYING TO SAVE

YOUR BOYFRIEND'S NECK,
AREN'T YOU?

OKAY, THEY BOTH GET IT.

AND IF YOU DON'T GET OUT OF HERE
IN A HURRY, YOU GET THE SAME.

MILLIE, GET OUT OF HERE.

NOT WITHOUT YOU.

POD, PLEASE DON'T.

ALL RIGHT...OKAY --

OKAY, IF THAT'S THE WAY
YOU FEEL ABOUT IT,

GET OVER THERE WITH THEM!

GO ON!

TURN AROUND.

POD, LET HER GO.

SHE HAD HER CHANCE.

LET HER GO.

TURN AROUND.

TURN AROUND!

GET OUT OF HERE,
CORLEY, NOW!

GO HIDE OUT SOMEWHERE

UNTIL WE CAN GET YOU
OUT OF THE COUNTRY.

GO ON!

ONE THING'S LIKE A KNIFE
IN MY THROAT, MILLIE.

ALL THESE YEARS,

AND WHAT I'VE DONE FOR YOU,

YOU'VE BEEN STOOLING
FOR ABBOT.

AND NOW,

TONIGHT, YOU KNEW
THERE WAS GOING TO BE A HIT.

YOU TRY TO SAVE HIS LIFE --

NOT MINE.

HOLD IT, CORLEY.

SCANLON WANTS
TO TALK TO YOU.

THE D.A. --
HE'S WASTING HIS TIME.

HE WON'T MIND.
HE'S ON SALARY.

LOOK, HE DOESN'T
WANT TO TALK TO THE D.A.

WHY DON'T WE JUST
LOCK HIM UP FOR THE NIGHT?

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

WHY DON'T YOU GO ON OVER
TO THE 39th PRECINCT?

39th -- THAT'S
DAVE ABBOT'S STATION.

SO?

WE DON'T EXACTLY GET ALONG.

IT'S ENTIRELY POSSIBLE
HE'D HAVE ME WORKED OVER.

FORGET IT.

NOW, LISTEN TO ME,
I'M ENTITLED TO PROTECTION.

YOU'LL STAY
WHERE WE PUT YOU.

WHY DON'T YOU SETTLE BACK
AND TAKE IT EASY?

ABBOT WILL KILL ME.

HE'LL HANG ME WITH MY OWN BELT
AND SAY IT WAS SUICIDE.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
HE'D DO A THING LIKE THAT?

LOOK, I'LL TALK TO THE D.A. --
TAKE ME TO THE D.A.

HOLD ME.

JUST HOLD ME.

WE'VE GOT TO
START RUNNING NOW --

YOU KNOW THAT.

BECAUSE OF ABBOT?

OH, I DON'T MIND,
AS LONG AS WE'RE TOGETHER.

WE CAN BE IN MEXICO
BY MORNING,

THEN SOUTH AMERICA --
HE'LL NEVER FIND US THERE.

MILLIE...

ABBOT'S NOT GOING
TO BE FINDING ANYBODY

FOR A LONG TIME.

THE D.A. HAS HIM RIGHT NOW.

YOU SET ME UP?

IT WAS ALL A LIE?

ALL OF IT?

MILLIE, LISTEN TO ME,
LISTEN TO ME.

MY NAME IS NOT CLIFF MORGAN.

IT'S BARNEY COLLIER --

COLLIER!

DOES THAT NAME
MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?

THAT NEWSPAPER MAN?

THAT'S RIGHT.

HE WAS MY BROTHER,
AND THEY KILLED HIM.

HAMP, CORLEY, AND ABBOT
BLEW HIM TO PIECES!

YES, I SET YOU UP!

I WOULD HAVE SET UP
THE JOAN OF ARC

TO EVEN THE SCORE
FOR MY BROTHER.

BUT IT DOESN'T
EVEN THE SCORE,

AND THAT'S
THE TOUGHEST PART OF IT.

SO NOW YOU
TURN ME IN, RIGHT?

SAY GOODBYE AND GOOD LUCK,

AND DON'T BOTHER TO WRITE!

IS THAT THE WAY IT GOES?

MILLIE, NO,
THAT'S NOT THE WAY IT GOES.

YOU RISKED YOUR NECK
TO SAVE MY LIFE.

THAT'S WORTH, I GUESS,

A COUPLE OF YEARS OFF
FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR.

GOODBYE, MILLIE.

DROP DEAD!

WE'VE GOT THEM
ACCUSING EACH OTHER.

YOU HAVE YOUR CASE.

YES, I DO,

AND THANK YOU.

MR. SCANLON.
