Mission: Impossible (1966–1973): Season 6, Episode 21 - Casino - full transcript

COME ON, BOYS,
WAKE UP.

CRAP TABLE NUMBER 2.

GRAY-HAIRED MAN
AND HIS RIGHT HAND.

HEY, MR. KERR,
I CAN EXPLAIN.

OH, I'M SURE YOU CAN.

DON'T KILL HIM, BOYS.

JUST MAKE HIM WISH
YOU HAD.

PLEASE, MR. KERR, PLEASE!

HONEY.

BLACKJACK TABLE NUMBER 3.

PICK UP A THOUSAND.



[ WHISPERING ]

BOSS?

CAMERON JUST CALLED.

HE WANTS YOU TO MEET HIM
DOWNTOWN

AT THE WAREHOUSE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
"CAMERON WANTS"?

HE WASN'T ASKING, BOSS,
HE WAS TELLING.

ALL RIGHT, CAMERON,
WHAT IS IT THIS TIME?

SIMPSON?
WHAT'S HE DOING HERE?

KERR, LET'S BE
REASONABLE ABOUT --

SHUT UP.

YOUR CHIEF ACCOUNTANT
IS A COP.

STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S
OFFICE.

WE FOUND THIS ON HIM.



YOUR PRIVATE BOOKS.

FROM THERE,
IT'S ONLY ONE STEP

TO BREAKING THE CODE
AND FIGURING OUT

EXACTLY HOW MUCH MONEY
GOES BACK EAST.

YOU'RE GETTING
CARELESS, KERR.

YOU SPEND $2 MILLION BUILDING
A NEW VAULT IN A CASINO,

AND THEN YOU HIRE HIM.

CAMERON, DON'T LECTURE ME.

I BUILT THE AQUARIUS UP
FROM NOTHING.

AND I'VE ALSO RUN THIS TOWN
FOR THE ORGANIZATION FOR YEARS.

AND I'VE RUN IT RIGHT.

THE ORGANIZATION
ISN'T SO SURE.

THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.

AND JUST IN TIME.

ALL RIGHT, SIMPSON.

LET'S GO.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

YOU'VE MADE ME LOOK BAD.

ORIN!

THESE OTHER GUYS,
THE HARD TYPES --

YOU'RE DIFFERENT.

WE CAN MAKE A DEAL.

HMM.

I JUST SEEM TO BE.

TOO BAD, TOO.

YOU WERE SO GOOD
AT FIGURES.

[ GUNSHOT ]

GOOD NIGHT, MR. CAMERON.

KERR.

BE MORE CAREFUL.

NEXT TIME,
COULD BE YOU.

Man: GOOD MORNING, MR. PHELPS.

THIS MAN, ORIN KERR,
RUNS ONE OF THE WEST'S

MOST POPULAR RESORT CITIES
FOR THE SYNDICATE,

CHANNELING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS

INTO THE UNDERWORLD EVERY YEAR
FROM UNSUSPECTING TOURISTS.

CONVENTIONAL
LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES

COULD CLEAN UP THE TOWN

IF A NEW BILL
PRESENTED BY THE GOVERNOR

ENDING COUNTY CONTROL
OF GAMBLING PASSES.

UNDERCOVER AGENT MEL SIMPSON
WAS KILLED

TRYING TO GAIN EVIDENCE
OF SYNDICATE INVOLVEMENT

TO PLACE BEFORE
THE STATE LEGISLATURE.

YOUR MISSION,
IF YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,

IS TO GET THAT EVIDENCE IN TIME
TO ENSURE PASSAGE OF THE BILL.

THIS TAPE WILL SELF-DESTRUCT
IN FIVE SECONDS.

GOOD LUCK, JIM.

ORIN KERR DESIGNED THE NEW VAULT
AT THE AQUARIUS HIMSELF,

AND THE FILM THAT
YOU'RE GOING TO SEE

WAS MADE BY THE COMPANY

THAT INSTALLED
THE AUTOMATIC EQUIPMENT.

THIS IS A TAKE BOX USED
AT EVERY TABLE IN THE CASINO.

NOW THE BILLS ARE BEING
ROLLED AND PRESSED.

VERY IMPRESSIVE.

BUT WITH
AN ACHILLES' HEEL,

AS IS THE CASE WITH
ALL VAULTS OF THIS KIND.

THE ELECTRICAL POWER
FOR THE ALARM SYSTEM IS INSIDE.

IN THIS CASE, IT'S A BANK
OF HEAVY BATTERIES.

CASEY...

OUR ANSWER TO ORIN KERR.

THAT'S NOT A BAD-LOOKING
HANDBAG, EITHER.

JIM, THE TAPES
ARE ALL READY,

AND THE ACTOR WHO PLAYED
ORIN KERR WAS EXCELLENT.

GOOD, CASEY.

OUR WHOLE PLAN DEPENDS ON US
SAYING ONE THING TO KERR

WHILE CAMERON THINKS
WE'RE SAYING SOMETHING ELSE.

THIS WILL CLIP OVER THE WIRE
LEADING FROM THE BUG

THAT CAMERON HAS INSTALLED
IN KERR'S OFFICE.

ONCE IT'S IN PLACE,

WE CAN PLAY THIS
ANY TIME WE WANT.

A LETTER ABOUT ME WENT OUT
YESTERDAY FROM CHICAGO, JIM.

BARNEY, THE REAL
FREDERICK DAWSON'S

BEING DETAINED IN NEW YORK.

KERR AND THE CARIBBEAN GROUP

HAVE BEEN KIND OF FEELING
EACH OTHER OUT

FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS,

BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME

THEY'VE SENT
A REPRESENTATIVE.

WHEN DID
RUSS NEELEY DIE, JIM?

TWO DAYS AGO, WILLIE,

AND WITHOUT TELLING
WHERE THE RAILROAD LOOT IS.

WE'RE KEEPING
HIS DEATH A SECRET.

KERR DOES SUCH A FANTASTIC JOB
FOR THE SYNDICATE.

WHY ARE
THEY SENDING CAMERON IN?

KERR'S BECOME SOMEWHAT
OF A DANDY LATELY, CASEY,

LIVING LIKE
HIS MILLIONAIRE PATRONS.

IT HASN'T CUT DOWN
ON HIS EFFICIENCY,

BUT IT'S MADE SOME OF
HIS BOSSES A LITTLE UNEASY.

CAMERON...

IS AN OLD LINE ENFORCER,
AND HE WANTS KERR'S JOB.

GIVEN A GOOD EXCUSE,

HE WON'T HESITATE
TO KILL KERR,

OR ANYONE ELSE,
FOR THAT MATTER.

ANYTHING HAPPENING?

NO, NOT REALLY.

HE'S BEEN WITH THAT SHOWGIRL,
YOU KNOW, THE BIG BLONDE.

YEAH.

THE GUY'S GOT
SOME LINE, BOY.

I COULDN'T TAKE
ANY MORE OF THAT,

SO I TURNED THE SPEAKER DOWN.

OKAY.

YOU KNOW WHERE TO FIND ME.

YEAH.

CASEY.

YES, JIM?

I'm ready.
Lower the wire.

HERE IT COMES.

Man: HERE WE GO NOW.

YEAH.

I'M SAM EVANS
FROM CHICAGO.

COME IN.

[ BEEP ]

Man: THIS IS SAM EVANS
OUT OF CHICAGO,

A FRIEND OF BILL COLLINS.

Man #2: OH, YEAH.
WELCOME.

I SEEM TO REMEMBER BILL
WRITING TO ME ABOUT YOU.

EXCUSE ME, DEAR.

HOW IS OLD BILL?

OH, YEAH.

BILL OUGHT TO GET SOME PEOPLE
AROUND HIM WHO CAN SPELL.

WHAT IS IT YOU DO, SAM?

BLACKJACK.

UH-HUH.

JUNE.

JANE.

JANE, OF COURSE.
SAM, HAVE A SEAT OVER THERE.

THANK YOU.

THIS, MY DEAR LADY,

IS FOR YOUR BEING
SUCH PLEASANT COMPANY AT LUNCH.

YOU'RE PRETTY PLEASANT
YOURSELF, MR. KERR.

PLUS, ANYTHING YOU CAN WIN
FROM MR. SAM EVANS HERE.

ALL RIGHT, SAM.

SHOW ME.

SPLITTING.

STICK. YOU'RE VERY NICE.

21.

I'M SORRY. YOU LOSE.

Willie: PLACE YOUR BET.

I'LL PLAY THESE.

BLACKJACK.

YOU TIN-HORNED
CHISELER, YOU.

YOU MEAN HE'S BEEN
CHEATING ME?

HERE, HONEY.
I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

THANK YOU, MR. KERR.

I'VE GOT LOTS
OF EXPERIENCE.

YOU'RE OKAY.

EVANS, WHAT KIND OF A PLACE
DO YOU THINK THE AQUARIUS IS?

I'M SORRY, MR. KERR.
I THOUGHT --

YOU THOUGHT?
YOU THOUGHT.

THAT'S PRETTY GOOD.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU CAN START TODAY.
WICKS, YOU SHOW HIM.

OKAY, BOSS.

THANKS, MR. KERR.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

WE'RE HOOKED
INTO CAMERON'S BUG

AND THE WARNING LINE
FROM THE CASHIER.

VERY GOOD.

IT'S ABOUT TIME FOR ME
TO CASH ANOTHER CHECK.

People: OH!

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

FREDERICK DAWSON.

OH, YEAH,
FROM THE, UH, CARIBBEAN.

MR. KERR'S BEEN
EXPECTING YOU.

THANK YOU.

TO A PLEASANT STAY,
MR. DAWSON.

THANK YOU, MR. KERR.

CHEERS.

YOU UNDERSTAND

WHY I CONTACTED
YOUR ORGANIZATION?

I REALLY WANT TO MAKE
A CHANGE. I FEEL I'VE...

Kerr: IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU
AGAIN, FREDERICK.

Barney: YOU, TOO, ORIN.

GOOD NEWS -- YOU'LL HAVE
THAT MONEY TONIGHT.

...IS TO EVALUATE YOU,
YOUR OPERATION.

YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.

I HEAR...

I HAVE BEEN ALREADY.

THIS EVENING'S PAPER.

I SAID YOU'D GET IT.

YOU'RE TAKING A CHANCE,
AREN'T YOU?

NOT THE WAY
I GOT IT SET UP.

ALL RIGHT.
I'LL BE WAITING.

YOU SEE, THE REASON THAT YOU
ORIGINALLY APPEALED TO US

WAS YOUR ABILITY TO REMAIN
OUT OF THE HEADLINES.

WELL, THAT'S PETE WILEY
HEADLINE HUNTING.

STATE LEGISLATURE
ADJOURNS TOMORROW.

THAT'LL BE THE END
OF THE HEADLINES.

I HOPE SO.
WE WILL TALK AGAIN.

I WILL BE HERE A FEW DAYS.

ANYTHING YOU WANT
ON THE HOUSE.

THANK YOU.

YOU REALLY THINKING
ABOUT MAKING A CHANGE?

WHY NOT?

ONE YEAR DOWN THERE,

AND I'D BE RUNNING
THAT OPERATION.

ALL I NEED IS THAT BREAD
TO BUY IN.

HI, MR. KELP.

MISS JOHNSON.

HOW ARE YOU?

NO COMPLAINTS. YOU?

I'M STILL LOSING.

DO YOU THINK YOU COULD
LET ME HAVE ANOTHER $300?

YOUR ACCOUNT
HASN'T CLEARED YET,

BUT I THINK I COULD TAKE
A CHANCE ON ANOTHER $200.

FANTASTIC.

THANK YOU.

BUT, UH, GO SLOW, HUH?

THANK YOU.

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

I THINK THAT KERR
IS UP TO SOMETHING.

WHAT?

WAIT A SECOND.
WAIT TILL YOU HEAR THIS.

Kerr: IT'S GOOD TO SEE
YOU AGAIN, FREDERICK.

Barney: YOU, TOO, ORIN.

GOOD NEWS -- YOU'LL HAVE
THAT MONEY TONIGHT,

ALL OF IT.

THE PRICE IS STILL
A HALF-MILLION?

I SAID YOU'D GET IT.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

WHO IS IT?

BARNEY.

IS EVERYTHING OKAY?

MM-HMM.

MISS JOHNSON,
YOU'RE IN TROUBLE.

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

JUST COME WITH ME.

I'VE GOT MONEY RIDING.

DON'T MAKE A SCENE,
MISS JOHNSON.

YOU'RE HURTING ME.

IT'S SUPPOSED TO HURT.

Man: 33 BLACK!

SEE, MISS JOHNSON,
YOU'RE A LOSER.

LET'S GO.

Barney: YOU'RE TAKING
A CHANCE, AREN'T YOU?

Kerr: NOT THE WAY
I GOT IT SET UP.

Barney: ALL RIGHT.
I'LL BE WAITING.

WELL, WE KNEW HE WAS TALKING
TO THOSE CARIBBEAN PEOPLE.

DO YOU THINK THE ORGANIZATION
WILL LET HIM OUT?

MNH-MNH.

KERR HASN'T STAYED ALIVE
THIS LONG

BEING STUPID.

HE MAY CUT
THE ORGANIZATION IN.

BUT HE PROMISED THEM
THE MONEY.

WELL, HE COULD HAVE
A DOZEN DIFFERENT ANGLES.

THIS ISN'T GOING
TO GET HIM FOR US.

YOU'RE A VERY PRETTY GIRL.

THANK YOU.

MY PLEASURE.

BUT, MISS JOHNSON...

ALICE JOHNSON.

I PREFER
TO CALL YOU ALICE.

THAT'S OKAY.

THANK YOU.

DEAR ALICE, YOU'RE
PASSING A BAD PAPER.

Kerr: THANK YOUR BOYFRIEND.

HE SHOULD HAVE
BEEN HERE BY NOW.

Casey: HE'LL BE HERE
IN PLENTY OF TIME.

A BALANCE
OF EXACTLY $37.52.

YOU'RE ALREADY
INTO US FOR $400.

WELL, I -- I FIGURED
THAT I'D HIT IT LUCKY

AND THEN COVER THE CHECKS
BEFORE THEY BOUNCED.

WHERE HAVE WE HEARD
THAT SONG BEFORE?

DEAR ALICE, WHAT ARE
WE GOING TO DO WITH YOU?

I'M EXPECTING A FRIEND.
HE'LL MAKE THEM GOOD.

OH, ANOTHER OLD
FAMILIAR REFRAIN.

I'LL TELL YOU
WHAT I'M GOING TO DO.

I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU
EXACTLY THREE HOURS

TO RAISE THAT MONEY,

AND YOU'RE NOT
TO LEAVE THE PREMISES.

OTHERWISE, YOU'LL NEVER
BE ABLE TO TRADE IN

ON THAT PRETTY LITTLE FACE
EVER AGAIN. OKAY?

OKAY.

WHAT'S BOTHERING YOU, WICKS?

THAT CHICK AIN'T GOING
TO RAISE $400 IN 3 HOURS.

I DON'T WANT HER TO.

Casey: I'LL BRING HIM IN
AS SOON AS HE GETS HERE.

Kerr: GOOD. WE STILL HAVE
A FEW DETAILS TO IRON OUT.

WICKS, THOSE
LIQUOR INVOICES.

WHERE ARE THEY?

WELL, WHAT DO
YOU THINK?

I DON'T KNOW.
SOMETHING'S GOING ON.

BUT WHAT?

YOU'RE TABLE NUMBER TWO.

YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS.

TAKE IT AND BRING IT BACK
AT THE END OF THE SHIFT.

IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE
HARD TO REMEMBER?

WE GOT COMEDIANS
IN THE LOUNGE.

JUST DO YOUR JOB, HUH?

RIGHT-O.

TAKE A BREAK.

IT'S ALL YOURS.

THANKS.

Kerr: McCANN,
YOU FINALLY MADE IT.

Jim: YOU DON'T THINK
I'D MISS SOMETHING LIKE THIS?

YOU KNOW ANY McCANN?

NO.

DON'T FORGET, I NEVER
WORKED FOR YOU BEFORE.

ALL I GOT SO FAR
IS YOUR REPUTATION.

$340, $360, $380, $400.

AND I THANK YOU.

I TOLD YOU
HE'D MAKE IT GOOD.

DON'T YOU WRITE
ANY MORE BAD PAPER.

I'M GOING TO BREAK
YOUR NECK, WOMAN.

MR. NEELEY.

WHY'D YOU CALL ME THAT?

OBVIOUSLY, YOU DON'T READ
THE, UH...LOCAL PAPERS.

AFTER 12 YEARS, YOU'D THINK
THEY'D LEAVE A GUY ALONE.

OH, YOU MUST BE KIDDING.

WITH $734,000
STILL OUTSTANDING?

YOU MAY NOT BELIEVE IT,
MR. KERR, BUT I WAS FRAMED.

I HAD NO PART
IN THAT ROBBERY.

OKAY. LET'S SAY YOU HAD
NO PART IN THE ROBBERY.

BUT WHERE'D YOU HEAR OF A CON
FRESH OUT OF THE JOINT

COMING UP WITH 400 BUCKS
JUST LIKE THAT?

I HAD GOOD FRIENDS
WHEN I WENT IN.

THEY DIDN'T FORGET
ABOUT ME.

THAT'S VERY TOUCHING.

YOU THINK I'M PUTTING ON?

LET'S SAY I DON'T CARE
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

YOU PLAN TO DO
SOME MORE GAMBLING?

I WAS GOING TO STICK AROUND
FOR A FEW DAYS,

BUT SHE TOOK CARE
OF ALL OF THAT.

I'M SORRY.

YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK?

ANY GUY WHO SPENDS 12 YEARS
IN THE JOINT ON A BAD RAP --

HE DESERVES
A LITTLE CONSIDERATION.

SUPPOSE THE HOUSE WERE
TO COME UP WITH, SAY, UH,

$1,000?

WHEN WOULD WE SEE IT BACK?

$1,000? UH, I MEAN,
WHAT'S THE ANGLE?

CHARITY.

DO YOU WANT IT OR NOT?

YEAH, I WANT IT.

SURE, I WANT IT.

IF I WIN,
I PAY IT BACK RIGHT AWAY.

IF NOT, A COUPLE
OF WEEKS, HUH?

HAVE A NICE TIME,
MR. NEELEY.

AND DRINKS ARE
ON THE HOUSE.

HEY, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
THANKS, MR. KERR.

HMM.

ANY CON,
12 YEARS IN THE JOINT,

AND HE STILL HAS FRIENDS?

YOU KNOW THERE'S GOT
TO BE SOME REASON.

Jim: WHAT TIME'S
THE ARMORED TRUCK ARRIVE?

Kerr: 8:00.

WE'LL BE UP IN ALICE'S ROOM
GOING OVER THE DETAILS.

SEE YOU LATER. OKAY?

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I THINK THEY'RE PLANNING
TO HEIST THAT VAULT.

COULD BE.

YOU PLAY THESE TAPES
FOR THE BOYS IN CHICAGO,

HE'S DEAD.

I'M NOT SO SURE.

THERE'S STILL
NOTHING DEFINITE.

LET'S, UM,
LET'S HAVE A TALK

WITH THAT DAME
AND HER BOYFRIEND.

GOT THE MAP?

MM.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

WHO IS IT?

Man: TELEGRAM.

GENTLEMEN,
GET YOUR HANDS UP! UP!

[ HORN HONKS ]

[ HONKS TWICE ]

[ LIGHT JAZZ PLAYING ]

PLACE YOUR BETS.

HEY, SWEETIE.

SWEETIE, COME HERE.
HIT ME AGAIN, WILL YOU?

SAME THING.

12 YEARS,

I GOT A LOT OF TIME
TO MAKE UP FOR.

CANDY.

CHARLIE, HIT THAT.

HE'S HAD QUITE
A BIT ALREADY.

HE CAN HANDLE IT.

WELL, KERR, YOU'RE IN
AN EXPANSIVE MOOD TONIGHT.

PETER WILEY.

BILL WICKS,
MR. PETER WILEY,

STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE.

YOU HEARD ME SPEAK
OF MR. WILEY MANY TIMES.

OH, YEAH, SURE, SURE.

HE'S A REAL BIG FAN
OF YOURS, MR. WILEY.

WELL, PETER,
WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE,

SPOILING YOUR IMAGE?

OH, MAKING SURE YOU KNOW

IF YOU EVER NEED A FRIEND,
YOU'VE GOT ONE.

FOR A LITTLE TESTIMONY,
OF COURSE.

MMM. WHAT ARE YOU
DRINKING, PETER?

NOTHING, THANKS.

GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT, PETER.

COME ON, HIT ME, HIT ME.

HOW MUCH IS NEELEY
INTO US FOR?

5 GRAND.

THAT MUCH?

MM-HMM.

THAT'S VERY GOOD.

YEAH.

YEAH, THAT'S GOOD.
THAT'S GOOD.

AH, THANK YOU,
WHAT IS IT?

CANDY? YEAH.

THAT'S FOR YOU, CANDY.

21.

HMM.

OH, WE'LL GET THEM
THE NEXT TIME.

WE'LL GET THEM AGAIN.

13...13.

I GOT TO HIT 13.
COME ON, GIVE ME A HIT.

GIVE ME A HIT.

BLAST! WHAT'S IT TAKE
TO WIN A HAND

AROUND THIS JOINT, ANYWAY?

BLACKJACK. HOUSE WINS.

YOU'RE HUSTLING ME!

YOU'VE BEEN CHEATING ME
FOR THE LAST HOUR!

Kerr: ALL RIGHT, NEELEY,
WHAT'S THE TROUBLE?

HE'S BEEN DEALING ME
BOTTOMS AND SECONDS

AND PULLING THEM OUT
OF HIS CUFF AND HIS EAR.

MY BOYS DON'T CHEAT.

LET'S GO TO MY OFFICE.
WE'LL HAVE A CHAT.

I WANT MY MONEY BACK!

YOUR MONEY?

HARDLY.

COME ON, LET'S TALK.

ALL RIGHT, COME ON,
QUICK, MOVE, COME ON.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.

WHAT WAS THE TROUBLE
OVER THERE?

OH, SOME DRUNK
LOST A FEW BUCKS.

OH.

[ BUZZING ]

[ BUZZING STOPS ]

HERE WE GO, MR. NEELEY.

DRINK THIS.

YOU'LL, UH, FEEL
A LOT BETTER.

HEY, THANKS.

AFTER ALL, YOU HAVE BEEN

OFF THE STUFF FOR 12 YEARS.

TAKES A LITTLE
GETTING USED TO.

MAN, YOU SAID IT.

THANK YOU.

WELL, NOW THAT
YOUR HEAD'S CLEARED UP,

HOW ARE YOU GOING
TO TAKE CARE OF THIS?

TAKE CARE OF WHAT?

THIS, THIS.

THAT IS YOUR SIGNATURE
ON THERE, ISN'T IT?

YOU'RE 5 GRAND IN THE RED.

YOU KNOW THAT GAME
WAS CROOKED.

SURE, SURE,
IT'S ALL RIGGED UP.

THAT'S WHAT THEY ALL SAY
WHEN THEY LOSE.

HOW ARE YOU GOING
TO TAKE CARE OF IT?

I'LL WIN IT BACK.

I WAS GOING TO SWITCH
TO CRAPS.

NO, NO, NEELEY,
YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT THAT.

YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO EVER PLAY AGAIN

TILL YOU PAY THIS UP,

AND IF YOU DON'T
TAKE CARE OF THIS,

I CALL THE POLICE.

POLICE? I'M ON PAROLE.
THEY'D SEND ME BACK.

THAT'S RIGHT, BUT THAT'S
THE WAY IT'S GOING TO BE.

I INTEND TO GET MY MONEY.

ALL RIGHT, YOU'LL GET IT.

WHEN?

COUPLE HOURS.

ALL RIGHT.

I'M SURE YOU INTEND
TO PLAY IT STRAIGHT.

YEAH, SURE.

[ VACUUM SOUND ]

[ VACUUM POWER INCREASING ]

[ VACUUM STOPS ]

LET ME SPEAK WITH
THE BELL CAPTAIN, PLEASE.

HELLO?

I THINK YOU BETTER CHECK
ROOM 311.

THERE SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING
STRANGE GOING ON THERE.

IT LOOKS LIKE
THEY'RE HEADING

FOR THE GHOST TOWN
IN SANDSVILLE.

YEAH.

MMM...MMM!

AAH! GET IT OFF!
GET IT OFF!

COME ON, COME ON!

BARNEY'S TAKING
THE SHORTCUT.

HE SHOULD BEAT US THERE
BY 10 MINUTES.

LOOK AT THIS.

SANDSVILLE.

YEAH, THAT'S THAT
GHOST TOWN IN THE DESERT.

OPEN IT.

HOW LONG?

10 SECONDS. WHAT'S UP?

WHO ARE THESE GUYS?

ARMED GUARDS. THEY COME
TO TRANSFER THE MONEY.

ARE YOU SURE THEY'RE OURS?

WELL, SURE, I'M SURE.

[ VAULT DOOR OPENING ]

WHERE'S THE MONEY?

I -- I DON'T KNOW.

WHERE'S KERR?

I DON'T KNOW!

YEAH?
WELL, MAYBE I DO.

OKAY, JIM.

[ CAR DOOR CLOSES ]

GO, BARNEY.

FREEZE!

ALL RIGHT, NEELEY,
BRING IT DOWN.

KERR, I'VE WAITED
12 YEARS FOR THIS.

YOU'LL GET YOUR MONEY.

IF I HAVE TO SEND WICKS
UP THERE TO GET IT,

YOU'RE GOING TO BE DEAD
BY THE TIME I GET UP THERE.

COME ON.

YOU STUPID --
THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT.

YOU SHUT UP, NEELEY.

WELL, WOULD YOU
LOOK AT THAT?

YOU'RE A GOOD RISK
AFTER ALL, NEELEY.

MAKE ONE MOVE,
AND YOU'VE HAD IT!

YOU, TOO, WICKS!

CAMERON, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I JUST CAME AFTER
THE MONEY

YOU HEISTED
FROM THE CASINO.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

KERR, YOU'RE GOING TO DIE.
CAN YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?

YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT THIS MONEY?

ROBBED FROM THE CASINO? NO!

IT'S AN OLD MAIL JOB
12 YEARS AGO.

HE PULLED IT. ASK HIM.

GO ON, TELL HIM, NEELEY.

YOU DON'T REALLY THINK
I'D DO ANYTHING

TO SAVE YOUR NECK, DO YOU?

CAMERON, I'M TELLING YOU,
THIS IS --

THIS MONEY'S BEEN HERE
SINCE 1959.

CHECK THE DATES, KERR.

'60.

'62.

'68.

IT CAN'T BE.

'69.

IT CAN'T BE.

THE MONEY IS FRESH.

NEW MONEY --
OUT OF YOUR SAFE.

Kerr: DAWSON!

WHO CARES WHERE
THE MONEY CAME FROM?

THE IMPORTANT THING IS
WHO'S GOT IT NOW?

DROP YOUR GUNS.

[ GUNS DROPPING ]

I WAS IN THE CASINO.
I FOLLOWED THEM HERE.

I DON'T CARE WHERE THAT MONEY
COME FROM, KERR.

ALL I'M INTERESTED IN
IS YOU INVEST IT WITH US.

WELL, SURE, SURE.

THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT I WANTED TO DO.

ALL RIGHT. WAIT OUTSIDE.

I'LL TAKE CARE
OF THESE GENTLEMEN.

WHAT ABOUT ME?

IS HE OKAY?

WELL, NOBODY'S OKAY

WITH THAT KIND OF MONEY
LAYING AROUND.

OVER THERE.

HOLD IT!

THAT WAY.

WELL, KERR,

BEEN AN INTERESTING EVENING,
HASN'T IT?

IT SURE HAS.

OF COURSE, YOU DON'T
HAVE TO TESTIFY

TO THE LEGISLATURE.

YOU COULD CATCH A RIDE
INTO TOWN WITH CAMERON.

DO YOU KNOW, PETER,
SUDDENLY I FEEL

TERRIBLY PUBLIC-SPIRITED.

I WAS JUST THINKING,
WHAT AN OUTRAGE

THAT THE SYNDICATE HAS MOVED
INTO GAMBLING IN THIS STATE.

WE REALLY OUGHT TO DO
SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.

SHALL WE?

[ ENGINE STARTS ]
