Mission: Impossible (1966–1973): Season 7, Episode 19 - Speed - full transcript

[ HORN HONKING ]

Man: HELLO,
GOT A DELIVERY.

Man: PLANT'S CLOSED.
COME BACK IN THE MORNING.

OH, I CAN'T DO THAT.

THE MANIFEST SAYS,
"URGENT, IMMEDIATE DELIVERY."

LET ME SEE IT.

HERE.

OPEN UP.

TAKE CARE OF HIM.

MOVE.

[ RINGS ]



HELLO?

WE'VE GOT THE BABY,

AND WE'RE ON OUR WAY,
MR. HIBBING.

WELL, THAT'S VERY NICE, PHALEN.

THANK YOU.

DRIVE CAREFULLY, WE'VE GOT
THE HOPES AND PRAYERS

OF EVERY HOP HEAD IN THE COUNTRY
BACK THERE.

WHAT DO YOU FIGURE
IT'S WORTH?

A BUCK A PILL...

YOU FIGURE MAYBE
FIVE TO TEN MILLION?

MAN, WE'VE CORNERED
THE SPEED MARKET.

Man: GOOD MORNING, MR. PHELPS.

LAST NIGHT,
THE STONEHURST CHEMICAL PLANT

WAS ROBBED OF THREE TONS
OF D-AMPHETAMINE SULFATE,



COMMONLY KNOWN AS "SPEED."

CONVENTIONAL
LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES

BELIEVE THAT SAM HIBBING,

THE WEST'S LARGEST DEALER
IN ILLEGAL DRUGS,

ENGINEERED THE ROBBERY

AND NOW HAS THE DRUG HIDDEN
AT A SECRET LOCATION,

WHERE HE PLANS TO PACKAGE IT
IN PILL FORM

AND SELL IT TO THE UNDERWORLD
AT A HUGE PROFIT.

YOUR MISSION,
SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,

IS TO FIND
AND RECOVER THE SPEED

BEFORE HIBBING
CAN DISTRIBUTE IT

AND TO PUT HIBBING
OUT OF BUSINESS FOR GOOD.

THIS TAPE WILL SELF-DESTRUCT
IN FIVE SECONDS.

GOOD LUCK, JIM.

[ HISSING ]

Jim: MARGARET HIBBING,
SAM HIBBING'S ONLY DAUGHTER.

Barney: SHE CERTAINLY
CAN HANDLE A BIKE.

HOW LONG SINCE YOU'VE DONE
ANY SERIOUS RIDING, CASEY?

WELL, I WENT OVER THE STUNTS
THIS MORNING, WILLY.

I'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

HOW ABOUT THE VOICE?

MARGARET RECENTLY DID

A TALK SHOW
ON MOTORCYCLING.

I GOT WHAT I NEEDED
FROM THE TAPES.

ALL RIGHT.

10:00 TOMORROW MORNING,

MARGARET LEAVES THE HOUSE
FOR A BIKE RALLY IN SAUSALITO.

AT THE SAME TIME,
HIBBING HAS

A BUSINESS APPOINTMENT
HERE AT THE HOTEL.

THE APPOINTMENT SHOULD
TAKE ABOUT 30 MINUTES.

IT'LL BE TIGHT.

MARGARET WILL BE READY.

MIKE DAYTON.

THE NEW ORLEANS GROUP SENT UP
A THUG NAMED NORTHRIDGE

TO MEET WITH HIM.

THIS MORNING, NORTHRIDGE WAS
QUIETLY TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.

JIM, HOW COME HIBBING
DECIDED ON AN AUCTION

INSTEAD OF
HIS USUAL M.O.?

SPEED'S SHORT ON THE STREET,
WILLY.

HIBBING WANTS A KILL.

$10 MILLION, BARNEY.

$4 MILLION
FOR THE DOWN PAYMENT.

$4 MILLION'S
A LOT OF MONEY, JIM.

HE WON'T BE ABLE
TO SPEND IT ANYWHERE.

LOOKS JUST LIKE THE REAL THING
AND MARKED FOR EVIDENCE.

WHAT ABOUT PUTTING A TAIL
ON FRED SNELLING?

SNELLING NEVER GOES
NEAR THE DRUGS.

ONCE HIBBING MAKES HIS DEALS,

SNELLING IMPROVISES
A FOOLPROOF WAY

OF DELIVERING TO THE CUSTOMER

WITHOUT EVER
ENDANGERING HIMSELF.

FOR THAT, HIBBING PAYS HIM 10%
AND CONSIDERS IT A BARGAIN.

THIS IS FOR MARGARET, JIM.

THIS ONE -- FOR SNELLING.

HIS PULSE AND HEARTBEAT

WILL BE INDISCERNIBLE
FOR THREE MINUTES.

WHAT'S SNELLING GOT GOING
WITH HIBBING'S DAUGHTER?

HE'S BEEN AFTER HER
FOR A LONG TIME.

SHE KEEPS DODGING HIM.

HE PROBABLY FIGURES
THAT MARRYING MARGARET

WOULD MOVE HIM EVEN HIGHER
IN THE RACKETS.

YOU KNOW WHAT'S
REALLY FASCINATING

IS MARGARET'S RELATIONSHIP
WITH HER FATHER.

UP UNTIL VERY RECENTLY,
HE BEAT HER...HARD AND OFTEN.

SHE KNOWS WHAT HE DOES

AND BOTH HATES
AND FEARS HIM FOR IT.

GOING ON DRUGS SERVED
TWO PURPOSES FOR MARGARET --

SHE COULD DEFY HER FATHER
IN A WAY THAT REALLY GOT TO HIM

AND ESCAPE FROM REALITY
AT THE SAME TIME.

WELL, SHE'S GOING
DOWNHILL FAST.

SHE'S ALREADY
HAD TWO OVERDOSES.

WELL, THERE'S NO QUESTION
ABOUT IT.

THE ONLY THING THAT CAN SAVE
MARGARET HIBBING NOW

IS TO PUT DADDY AWAY FOR GOOD.

[ DOORBELL RINGS ]

WELL, IF IT ISN'T
MR. SNELLING --

MR. SMELLING SNELLING.

GOOD MORNING,
MR. SNELLING.

YOU'RE HIGH.

HA, YOUR POWERS OF OBSERVATION
ARE VACUOUS,

ABSOLUTELY VACUOUS.

DADDY'S GOT A MEETING
TODAY AT THE HOTEL.

DADDY SELLS SPEED...

AND ENGAGES IN OTHER
LEGITIMATE BUSINESSES.

DADDY'S VERY SMART.

YOU TALK TOO MUCH,
MARGARET.

YOU'RE WRONG,
MR. SMELLING SNELLING.

I DON'T TALK ENOUGH.

MARGARET...

WHY DON'T YOU
GIVE ME A BREAK?

I COULD MAKE YOU HAPPY.

SURE YOU COULD.

WHEN'S THE FUNERAL?

ISN'T THAT MORE FUN
THAN THAT SPEED YOU'RE ON?

LET ME GO,
OR I'LL SCREAM.

I HOPE
YOU KILL YOURSELF.

[ Laughing ] SPEED KILLS!

HA HA HA HA HA!

[ TIRES SCREECH ]

SHE'S ON THE WAY, JIM.

RIGHT.

MARGARET'S ON HER WAY.

OKAY, JIM?

PERFECT, CASEY.

DRINK, NORTHRIDGE?

YEAH, I'LL HAVE A LITTLE
BOURBON ON THE ROCKS.

HOW'S ZIGGY?

HIS BACK'S
STILL BOTHERING HIM.

YEAH, HE WROTE ME.

TOO MANY BROADS.

WHAT ABOUT HOWARD?

NOT ENOUGH BROADS.

YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES
I WORRY ABOUT OL' HOWARD.

[ CHUCKLING ]

WHAT ABOUT OUR BUSINESS,
MR. DAYTON?

YEAH...OUR BUSINESS.

HOW MUCH YOU BOYS WANT?

ALL YOU CAN SUPPLY.

TO WHAT FIGURE?

OH, A MILLION.

I CAN'T HELP YOU.

I BEG YOUR PARDON?

I SAID, "I CAN'T HELP YOU."

YOU BETTER LAY THAT OUT
FOR ME, MR. DAYTON.

THERE'S NO SPEED
AROUND -- NONE.

SAM HIBBING'S GOT IT ALL,

AND HE'S GOING
TO AUCTION IT OFF TOMORROW.

AND UNLESS I'M
HIGH BIDDER, NO SPEED.

AND I HAVEN'T GOT
THE BREAD FOR IT.

WELL, THAT'S NO PROBLEM.

WE'VE GOT PLENTY OF BREAD.

WE'LL BID.

NO CHANCE --

ONLY THE GUYS HIBBING'S
DEALT WITH BEFORE.

IF YOU'VE GOT
SO MUCH BREAD,

MAYBE I...I COULD MAKE
A KIND OF BUSINESS LOAN.

I'M LISTENING.

YOUR ORGANIZATION COMES UP
WITH AS MUCH AS IT CAN.

IF I GET THE SPEED, YOU GET
A MILLION BUCKS' WORTH.

AND THE REST OF THE MONEY...
IN 90 DAYS AT 10% INTEREST.

FAIR?

HMM.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT THAT.

I'LL HAVE TO CONTACT
NEW ORLEANS.

THANKS FOR THE DRINK.

ANY TIME.

[ BEEPS ]

CAN I HELP YOU?

I JUST HAD
THIS THING TUNED.

[ In Casey's voice ]
SEE YOU LATER, JIM.

WELL, WHITE
AND SHINER CALLED.

THEY'LL BE IN TOMORROW.

WELL, THAT'S EVERYBODY
BUT DAYTON.

YEAH, I THINK
HE'S GOT A MONEY PROBLEM.

IS SNELLING READY?

SNELLING'S ALWAYS READY.

HIYA, DADDY.

HOW'S BIG BUSINESS TODAY?

ARE YOU CRAZY?!

NO, DADDY, JUST HIGH...

HIGH AS THE SKY.

[ PEOPLE SCREAM ]

MARGARET!

CATCH UP TO HER!

[ TIRES SCREECH ]

SHE'S COMING.

RIGHT.

[ TIRES SCREECH ]

[ SIREN WAILS ]

WELL, THAT'S ALL
WE NEED --

SOME PUNK TRAFFIC COP
FINDING SPEED ON HER.

CASEY, YOU OKAY?

SHE MAY BE BADLY HURT.
I'LL CALL AN AMBULANCE.

THANKS, OFFICER.

YOU FREAKED-OUT
LITTLE JERK!

[ RINGS ]

HELLO.

OKAY.

HIBBING'S ON HIS WAY UP
WITH PHALEN.

[ In Casey's voice ]
TOOK HIS TIME GETTING HERE.

HIBBING'S A VERY
BUSY MAN, CASEY.

412...THE DOC SAID
SHE'S JUST BADLY SHAKEN UP.

I TOLD HIM I WANT HER HOME
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

MAYBE IT'S BETTER
SHE STAY HERE,

I MEAN, TILL
THE AUCTION'S OVER.

THERE'S NO TELLING
WHAT THEY MIGHT PUMP IN HER.

SHE'S JUST LIABLE TO START
SHOOTING OFF HER MOUTH.

DAD.

MR. HIBBING?

WHO ARE YOU?

JOHN BRADY'S THE NAME --

LIKE I SAID...
WHO A YOU?

DADDY,
HE'S A FRIEND OF MINE.

HE DOESN'T STINK BAD ENOUGH.

GET OUT.

COME ON, DON'T LEAN ON ME,
MR. HIBBING.

I'LL LEAVE WHEN I'M READY.

NOW, MARGARET AND I
HAVE JUST HAD A GOOD TALK.

I THINK I CAN HELP HER.

TO DO WHAT?

TO GET OFF SPEED
BEFORE IT KILLS HER

OR SHE KILLS HERSELF!

SPEED!

MY DAUGHTER --
ARE YOU CRAZY?!

I KNOW HER,
MR. HIBBING.

WE BIKE TOGETHER --
THOSE RALLIES IN THE DESERT.

I CALLED HIM MR. STRAIGHT --
ALWAYS YAKKING ABOUT DRUGS.

BUT I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING.

I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE
OUT THERE ON THE STREET...

DID SOMETHING TO ME.

I THINK...MAYBE I'M READY
TO GIVE IT A TRY --

STAYING CLEAN.

THAT IS, IF YOU DON'T GRIND
ON HER TOO MUCH.

NOW, I KNOW SOMETHING
ABOUT YOU, MR. HIBBING.

I KNOW WHAT YOU'VE DONE
TO MARGARET.

WHAT I'VE DONE?!

YOU THINK I WANT MY DAUGHTER
TO BE A SPEED FREAK?!

JUST TAKE CARE OF HER.
SHE'S WELL WORTH IT.

YOU GET BETTER,
MARGARET.

I'LL SEE YOU SOON.

SURE, JOHNNY.

YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO BE HERE LONG, MARGARET.

YOU'RE COMING HOME.

BUT I'M WARNING YOU...

YOU MAKE ME
ANY MORE TROUBLE,

I'M GOING
TO PUT YOU AWAY...

NOT SOME
FANCY SANITARIUM,

BUT A PLACE
I KNOW ABOUT...

WHERE YOU'LL BE LUCKY

TO GET OUT OF A DARK ROOM
ONCE A MONTH.

[ DOOR OPENS ]

SORRY...

WRONG ROOM.

NOW, THAT'S
MORE LIKE IT.

WHO'S HE?

I DON'T KNOW.
I NEVER SAW HIM BEFORE.

WELL, WHAT ARE
WE DRINKING TO --

YES OR NO?

WE'RE DRINKING TO MAYBE.

YOU SEE,
THE WAY ZIGGY FIGURES IT,

ALL YOU HAVE IS AN IN.

SO, WHY SHOULD WE LET YOU

CORNER THE ACTION
WITH OUR BREAD?

AND...DON'T GIVE ME ANY MORE
OF THAT 10% JAZZ.

THAT'S PATHETIC.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

WELL, I'LL TELL YOU.

SEE, THIS AFTERNOON,

JUST BEFORE
THE NATIONAL CITY BANK CLOSED,

I DEPOSITED $10 MILLION.

NOW, THAT'S YOUR --

[ Laughing ] CORRECTION --
OUR STAKE IN THE AUCTION.

NOW, YOU GET ALL THE SPEED
YOU NEED FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS --

AT A FAIR PRICE --
AND WE GET THE REST.

NO DEAL, NORTHRIDGE.

IT'S NOT WORTH MY TROUBLE.

OH, COME ON, DAYTON.

YOU JUST WHISTLING.

NOW, IF YOU DON'T SUPPLY
YOUR REGULAR CUSTOMERS,

YOU'RE GOING TO
LOSE THOSE CUSTOMERS.

AND YOU CAN'T SUPPLY THEM,
UNLESS WE'VE GOT THE SPEED.

COME ON, MAN, DRINK UP.

YOU MIGHT NOT BECOME
"THE PILL KING" OVERNIGHT...

BUT YOU'LL STAY ALIVE.

I'LL CONTACT YOU
AFTER THE AUCTION.

[ Laughing ] MR. DAYTON...

THAT'S OUR MONEY
TALKIN' AT THAT AUCTION,

AND I'M GOING TO BE THERE
TO HEAR WHAT IT SAYS.

PHALEN.

CASEY CALLED.

SOME GUY POKED HIS HEAD
IN THE ROOM AFTER YOU LEFT.

SHE THIN HE'S A FRIEND
OF MARGARET'S.

COULD BE TROUBLE, JIM.

I'D BETTER
GET OVER THERE.

HELLO, BABY.

ABOUT BEFORE --

I, UH...WASN'T IN THE MOOD
TO MEET THE FAMILY.

MADE THAT PRETTY CLEAR.

HEY, YOU'RE LOOKIN'
PRETTY GOOD.

WHEN I READ THE NEWSPAPER,

I FIGURED THAT YOU'D
BE A REAL BASKET CASE.

I WAS LUCKY.

YOU'RE LOOKIN' REAL GOOD.

IN FACT, YOU'RE LOOKIN'
GOOD ENOUGH TO...

HEY, HONEY,
WHAT'S GOIN' ON?!

THIS ISN'T THE PLACE.

WHAT? EVERYWHERE'S THE PLACE
FOR YOU AND ME, BABY.

COME ON, NOW. MAKE OL' ZINC
FEEL AT HOME.

ZINC...LOOK, I'LL BE
OUT OF HERE TOMORROW.

D-DON'T YOU DIG?

I WAS ALMOST KILLED
THIS MORNING.

I DON'T FEEL
LIKE FUN AND GAMES.

HERE, I FIGURED
YOU'D WANT TO TRY THESE.

THANKS.

WELL, GO AHEAD.
POP 'EM!

IT TURNS ME ON
JUST TO WATCH YOU.

WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE
TOMORROW.

I DON'T WANT TO GET
COMMITTED SOMEPLACE.

YOU KNOW,
SOMETHING'S FUNNY...

SOMETHING'S REAL FUNNY.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "FUNNY"?

YOU SHOULD HAVE HEARD
THE OLD MAN.

HE'S GOT SOME KIND OF DEVIL'S
ISLAND PICKED OUT FOR ME.

[ Sighs ] WHERE'S THE MONEY?

THE MONEY!
I DON'T KNOW.

YOU WERE SUPPOSED
TO BRING ME TWO BILLS

IN SAUSALITO, RIGHT?!

SEE IF MY WALLET'S
IN THERE.

NOTHING.

I GUESS THEY TOOK IT.

TOMORROW WHEN
THEY CHECK ME OUT.

MARGARET, BABY...

I CAN'T WAIT
UNTIL TOMORROW.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU WANT
ME TO DO ABOUT IT?

YOU'RE GOING TO GET
ON THAT TELEPHONE,

CALL DOWNSTAIRS,
AND GET THAT MONEY.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

HI, MARGARET.

WHO'S THIS?

JOHNNY BRADY --
HE'S A FRIEND.

JOHNNY, MEET ZINC.

GLAD TO MEET YOU, ZINC.

HI.

UGH!

OOH!

WHO IS HE, CASEY?

DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT HIM?

I DON'T KNOW.

I'VE GOT TO GET
TO MARGARET AND FIND OUT.

HE COULD BE A WHOLE LOT
OF TROUBLE.

NO, I WON'T TELL YOU
WHO ZINC IS.

WHY SHOULD I
TELL YOU ANYTHING?

MARGARET,
WE'RE TRYING TO HELP YOU,

AND YOU CAN BE HELPED,

BUT WE NEED
YOUR HELP, TOO.

YOU. YOU SLIPPED ME
SOME KIND OF MICKEY.

YOU'RE THE FUZZ,
AREN'T YOU?

AREN'T YOU?

THINK ABOUT ZINC
FOR A MINUTE.

ALL HE DOES IS USE YOU.

HE JUST WANTS YOUR MONEY.
WHY DO YOU PROTECT HIM?

HE DOESN'T CARE
WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU.

YOU KN THAT'S TRUE!

NO, IT ISN'T!

HE KEEPS YOU HIGH
SO HE CAN USE YOU.

STOP IT!
I WON'T TELL YOU!

WAIT...

MAYBE I WILL.

SPEED...

I NEED SOME SPEED --
JUST TWO PILLS -- JUST ONE.

MARGARET, THEY'RE DOING
THE BEST THEY CAN

TO MAKE YOU COMFORTABLE.

YOU WON'T HELP ME,
WILL YOU?

WELL, THEN,
YOU GET OUT HERE.

DO YOU HEAR ME?
GET OUT OF HERE!

HELP ME, PLEASE.

Please.

HI, PHALEN.

THEY TOLD US YOU
WEREN'T GETTING OUT

TILL
THIS AFTERNOON.

WELL, THEY
TOLD YOU WRONG.

THANKS FOR BRINGING
HER HOME, BRADY.

MY PLEASURE.

SEE YOU LATER,
HUH?

COME ON, JOHNNY.

WHAT TIME'S THE AUCTION?

WELL, IF THERE
ARE NO HANG-UPS,

IT SHOULD BE OVER
IN ABOUT AN HOUR.

JUST KEEP YOURSELF
AVAILABLE.

[ DOOR OPENS ]

HELLO, EVERYBODY.

Phalen:
THEY LET HER GO EARLY.

HI, DAD.

YOU OKAY?

BETTER THAN I'VE EVER BEEN,
THANKS TO THE ACCIDENT...

AND JOHNNY.

JUST MAKE SURE SHE
STAYS WELL, MR. HIBBING.

OH, DON'T WORRY.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF HER.

JOHNNY, I'D LIKE YOU
TO MEET FRED SNELLING.

JOHNNY BRADY.

HI.

HI.

WELL...
YOU TAKE IT EASY, HUH?

CAN I CALL YOU LATER?

I WON'T BE IN THE OFFICE
THE REST OF THE DAY.

I'LL GET IN TOUCH.

SMILE, FRED.

I KNOW WE'VE HAD
OUR PROBLEMS,

BUT I'VE CHANGED.

YOU'LL SEE.

SURE, MARGARET.

WELL,
IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME,

I HAVE TO FRESHEN UP.

I COULDN'T KEEP HIM OUT.

WHO IS THAT BRADY DUDE?

HE RUNS SOME KIND
OF CHARTER AIRLINE.

SOMETHING'S HAPPENING
BETWEEN THOSE TWO.

I GOT TO KNOW MORE
ABOUT HIM THAN THAT.

HE SAID HE, UH, WOULDN'T BE
IN THE OFFICE THIS AFTERNOON.

I UNDERSTAND.

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

HI, DAD.

WHY THE ONCE-OVER?

YOU REALLY SEEM LIKE

A DIFFERENT GIRL TO ME,
MARGARET.

THAT'S GOOD, ISN'T IT?

KIND OF HURTS
A FATHER'S PRIDE.

I NEVER COULD GET TO YOU.

BRADY SEEMS ABLE TO.

YOU BELIEVE
THAT BEFORE THE ACCIDENT

I COULDN'T STAND HIM?

ALWAYS LECTURING ME.

IF THERE WAS EVER A GUY
WHO WAS DEATH ON DRUGS...

HE OUGHT TO FIND OUT

WHAT YOU REALLY DO
FOR A LIVING.

HE'D TAKE
THIS PLACE APART.

IF HE EVER FINDS OUT...

I'LL KNOW JUST
WHERE HE GOT IT.

I'M SURPRISED AT YOU,
MIKE.

YOU KNOW THIS IS
AN EXCLUSIVE SALE.

WITHOUT HIM,
I'VE GOT NO FINANCING.

IN OTHER WORDS,
UNLESS HE STAYS, I GO.

AND YOU MAY LOSE
YOUR HIGHEST BIDDER.

OH, DON'T WORRY,
MR. HIBBING.

OUR BREAD'S
AS GOOD AS THEIRS.

DON'T BE HARD-NOSED, SAM.

CLINT'S OUT OF ZIGGY'S
ORGANIZATION IN NEW ORLEANS.

I'LL VOUCH FOR HIM.

WELL, AS LONG
AS YOU'RE HERE.

AS YOU'VE BEEN TOLD,

THE BIDDING WILL BE WRITTEN,
NOT VERBAL.

I GUARANTEE DELIVERY
OF THE MERCHANDISE

TO WHATEVER DESTINATION
THE HIGH BIDDER NAMES.

PAYMENT WILL BE IN CASH --

40% AT THE CLOSE
OF THE BIDDING,

60% ON DELIVERY.

THE MERCHANDISE
HAS BEEN PACKAGED

100 CAPSULES TO A CONTAINER,
500 CONTAINERS TO A CARTON.

I HAVE 200 CARTONS ALL PACKED
AND READY TO GO --

10 MILLION CAPSULES.

SAM, UH...

YOU MIND IF WE SAMPLE
THE MERCHANDISE?

SURE.

OKAY.

THANK YOU,
MR. NORTHRIDGE.

SHALL WE BID?

HIGH BIDDER -- MR. SHINER...

$2,500,000.

THAT'S A NICE START, GENTLEMEN,
BUT IT'S, UH, ONLY A START.

SHALL WE PROCEED
IMMEDIATELY TO ROUND TWO?

SORRY TO SEE
YOU GO, PETE.

PETE CASTLE FOUND THE BIDDING
A LITTLE TOO STIFF, GENTLEMEN,

BUT IT'S GOING TO GET
A LOT STIFFER.

NOW, ROUND FIVE,

MR. WHITE WAS HIGH
WITH A BID OF $6.5 MILLION.

SHALL WE GO AGAIN?

OKAY, MISTER...

FREEZE.

NOW, JUST WHO ARE YOU?

THE NAME'S WILSON.

I WAS LOOKING
FOR MR. BRADY.

SEEMS TO ME,

YOU'RE LOOKING TO GO THROUGH
MR. BRADY'S SAFE...

NOT THAT YOU'D FIND MUCH
IN THERE.

THE CRUMB OWES ME
THREE WEEKS' PAY.

THAT'S, UH,
THAT'S USEFUL TO KNOW.

I'M WITH GREG BARRINGTON
INSURANCE.

MR. BRADY'S APPLIED FOR
OUR BROAD COVERAGE POLICY.

INSURANCE?

THAT'S RIGHT.

I WASN'T TRYING
TO BREAK IN THE SAFE.

I WAS JUST
CHECKING THE MAKE.

OKAY...

I'LL BUY THAT.

THERE ISN'T ANYTHING
TO STEAL AROUND HERE, ANYWAY.

THE ONLY THING HE'S GOT
THAT'S WORTH ANYTHING

IS HIS AIRPLANE.

AND HE WON'T HAVE
THAT FOR LONG

IF HE DOESN'T MAKE
A FEW PAYMENTS ON IT.

HOW LONG
YOU BEEN WITH HIM?

OH, ON AND OFF,
TWO, THREE YEARS.

YOU WANT SOME COFFEE?

OH, NO THANKS.

HEY, IT LOOKS LIKE BRADY
WAS QUITE A WAR HERO.

UH, THAT WAS A LONG
TIME AGO -- KOREA --

BEFORE HE SPENT 10 YEARS
IN LEAVENWORTH.

TEN YEARS
IN LEAVENWORTH?

LOOK, MISTER...

IF YOU'RE
AN INSURANCE COP --

I'M AN INVESTIGATOR.

THERE'S NOTHING
YOU CAN TELL ME

I CAN'T FIND OUT
SOME PLACE ELSE.

YEAH, I GUESS SO.

I MEAN, WHAT'S THE BIG
SECRET, ANYWAY?

HE PAID FOR IT.

HE KILLED ANOTHER OFFICER
WITH HIS BARE HANDS.

$9,200,000...MR. SHINER.

GENTLEMEN,
DO WE NEED TO GO ON?

WELL, I GUESS
THAT DOES IT, SAM.

SAM?

WE'LL GO
ANOTHER ROUND.

PLEASE.

ALL THE WAY.

HIGH BID NOW STANDS
AT $10 MILLION...

MR. DAYTON.

WELL,
YOU BOUGHT IT.

WELL, WE'LL GET
SOME OTHER STUFF, SHINER.

YEAH.

AND YOU'LL DO BETTER
NEXT TIME.

$4 MILLION.
WE GUESSED RIGHT.

WELL,
YOU CERTAINLY DID.

THE BALANCE
IMMEDIATELY ON DELIVERY.

AND THAT WILL HAVE TO BE
8:00 A.M. TOMORROW MORNING,

NEPTUNE STABLES, ROUTE 16
JUST OUTSIDE NEW ORLEANS.

WELL, THAT'S A LONG WAY
FOR IT TO TRAVEL SO FAST.

TELL YOU WHAT, MR. HIBBING.

NOW, ZIGGY'S
AUTHORIZED ME

TO MAKE YOU
ANOTHER PROPOSITION.

WE FIGURE YOU PAY
ABOUT 10% FOR DELIVERY.

LET US TAKE DELIVERY NOW...

GIVE US A 5% REDUCTION.

YOU SAVE A HALF A MILL.

I DON'T LIKE
TO BREAK ROUTINES --

ESPECIALLY WHEN
THEY WORK SO WELL.

OKAY...BUT IT BETTER
BE THERE BY 8:00 A.M.

OR THE DEAL IS OFF.

IT'LL BE THERE.

SAM.

[ BUZZES ]

[ RINGS ]

HELLO?

Fred...how are you?

MARGARET,
NICE TO HEAR FROM YOU.

TOLD YOU I'VE CHANGED.

I'D...LIKE TO MAKE UP

FOR THE ROTTEN WAY
I'VE TREATED YOU FOR SO LONG.

WELL, WHEN CAN
I SEE YOU?

SOME OF THE...GENTLEMEN
DAD'S DEALING WITH ARE...

TRYING TO CUT
INTO YOUR TERRITORY.

I think it might be
a good idea

if you got over here
right away.

AFTER YOU FINISH
YOUR BUSINESS,

YOU COULD...COME UP AND SEE
THE CONVALESCING DAUGHTER.

ALL RIGHT.
I'LL DO THAT.

BYE.

AND HE SERVED 10 YEARS
FOR SECOND-DEGREE MURDER.

SO, THE BOTTOM LINE
IS BRADY'S GOT A TEMPER,

HE'S VIOLENT,

AND IT'S GOT HIM
INTO REAL TROUBLE.

THEN, HE ISN'T AS STRAIGHT
AS MARGARET THINKS HE IS.

[ DOORBELL RINGS ]

SAM, HOW COME
YOU DIDN'T CALL ME?

WE HAV BEEN.

YOU MUST HAVE BEEN
ON THE WAY OVER HERE.

IS EVERYTHING
ALL RIGHT?

CAN YOU DELIVER IT

TO NEW ORLEANS
BY EARLY TOMORROW MORNING?

WHAT'S THE RUSH?

THOSE ARE THE CONDITIONS
OF THE SALE.

YEAH, YEAH.

I'LL GET IT THERE.

HOW?

NOW, SAM, THAT'S A QUESTION
YOU SHOULDN'T ASK ME.

I SAID I'D GET IT THERE,
AND I WILL.

YOU KNOW WHERE
THE STUFF IS.

YEAH.

DO YOU MIND IF I
LOOK IN ON MARGARET?

YOU'RE WASTING
YOUR TIME.

IT'S MY TIME.

Snelling:
[ Knocking ] MARGARET...

[ BEEPS ]

[ Knocking ] MARGARET?

JUST A MINUTE,
FRED.

[ DOORBELL RINGS ]

I'D LIKE
TO SEE MARGARET.

SHE'S RESTING.

I THINK SHE'LL SEE ME.

I DON'T THINK SO,
MR. BRADY. IN FACT --

[ MUSIC BLARES,
GLASS SHATTERS ]

WHAT'S THAT?

I DON'T KNOW.

IT'S MARGARET --

SOMETHING'S HAPPENED
TO MARGARET!

Margaret: PARTY!

PARTY, PARTY!

HEY, DAD -- WE'RE GOING
TO HAVE A PARTY UP HERE.

PARTY! I LOVE PARTIES!

[ Laughing ] WHOO!

HI, JOHNNY!

MARGARET...MARGARET!

OH, FRED, HONEY,
I LOVE YOU.
SHE'S FLIPPED.

THERE'S NOTHING THE MATTER
WITH ME!

I'M FLYING THROUGH --

MARGARET...

MARGARET!
LISTEN TO ME.

LET GO. COME ON.
JOIN THE PARTY!

STOP IT. STOP IT.

[ LAUGHING ]

LISTEN TO ME!

HIBBING! SPEED.

LOOK AT THIS.

PARRRRTY!

MARGARET, WHERE DID YOU
GET THE PILLS?

LEAVE ME ALONE.
I DON'T KNOW.

COME ON, MARGARET!

I DON'T KNOW!

[ Sighs ] AAH.
OH, THAT'S MUCH BETTER.

IT'S SO PEACEFUL HERE.

MARGARET, THE PILLS...
WHO GAVE THEM TO YOU?

HMM?

THE PILLS --
WHO GAVE THEM TO YOU?

THE PILLS.

FRED SNELLING.

GOOD OL' FRED.

MARGARET.

FRED ALWAYS COMES THROUGH
WHEN I NEED HIM.

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE, SAM.
SHE'S OUT OF HER SKULL.

YOU DID THIS!

LET ME FINISH HIM.

LET ME FINISH HIM!

MAYBE
YOU ALREADY HAVE.

I...DIDN'T MEAN THAT.

THAT -- THAT WASN'T
SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN.

CHECK HIM.

HE'S DEAD.

YOU SURE?

YEAH.

HE DESERVED
TO DIE.

HE -- WHAT ARE YOU,
SOME KIND OF A MORALIST?

DO YOU KNOW
WHAT YOU'VE DONE

TO THE BIGGEST DEAL
I EVER SET UP?

YOU'VE KILLED IT!

THE ONE MAN THAT CAN MAKE IT
WORK FOR ME IS DEAD!

LOOK, HIBBING...
LET ME GET RID OF THE BODY.

LOOK, YOU CAN SEE
WHAT HE WAS DOING TO MARGARET

WITH THOSE LOUSY PILLS!

NOW, JUST
DON'T TURN ME IN!

I'LL GIVE YOU ANYTHING.

I'VE GOT SOME MONEY
IN THE BANK.

I'VE GOT SOME --
SOME EQUITY

IN MY AIRPLANE...
ANYTHING!

ALL RIGHT.

I CAN CALL THE COPS
ON YOU RIGHT NOW,

AND THAT WOULD BE
A LITTLE BIT OF TROUBLE...

LIKE MURDER ONE,
RIGHT, PHALEN?

RIGHT.

MAYBE I WON'T DO IT.

MAYBE YOU CAN DO ME
A LITTLE FAVOR,

AND WE JUST...
FORGET THE WHOLE THING.

YEAH.
WHAT KIND OF FAVOR?

CARGO -- FLOWN
TO NEW ORLEANS TONIGHT.

WHAT KIND OF CARGO?

NO QUESTIONS!

I'M IN ENOUGH
TROUBLE ALREADY --

NO QUESTIONS!

LISTEN TO ME!

YOU LISTEN, PUNK!

YOU GOT QUITE
A TEMPER, BRADY.

I UNDERSTAND HE'S NOT
THE FIRST MAN YOU'VE KILLED.

WELL, WITH YOUR RECORD,

YOU GO UP FOR SNELLING...

AND THERE'S NO PAROLE.

ALL RIGHT...
WHAT DO I DO?

RENT YOURSELF
A SMALL, CLOSED TRUCK.

MEET US IN TWO HOURS --
EAST END OF THE BAY BRIDGE.

ALL RIGHT.

WHAT ABOUT
THE STIFF?

HELP ME GET HIM
IN THE CAR.

I'LL, UH,
I'LL GET RID OF HIM.

[ GUITAR MUSIC PLAYING SOFTLY ]

ZINC,
HOW DID YOU GET IN?

SAME WAY
I ALWAYS GET IN.

DON'T TELL ME
YOU'VE FORGOTTEN.

I FIGURED YOU
HAD YOUR WALLET BACK,

SO I CAME
FOR MY TWO BILLS.

SURE.

HEY, WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON
AROUND HERE?

NOT MUCH.

I'VE JUST BEEN TRYING TO GET

MY STRENGTH BACK, THAT'S ALL.

DON'T PLAY THE INNOCENT
LITTLE GIRL WITH ME,

MARGARET.

BRADY'S BEEN HERE TWICE.

I SAW HIM AND ONE
OF YOUR OLD MAN'S GOONS

CARRYING OUT A STIFF.

THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

JOHN CAME TO SEE ME.

I TOLD YOU --
HE'S A FRIEND.

OH, YEAH, HE'S A FRIEND
I NEVER EVEN HEARD OF.

ZINC, PLEASE,
JUST TAKE THE MONEY AND GO.

I'M VERY TIRED.

MONEY'S NOT ALL I CAME FOR.

ZINC, PLEASE!

THERE'S SOMETHING
WRONG HERE,

AND I'M GOING
TO FIND OUT WHAT IT IS.

I THOUGHT YOU
DIDN'T KNOW HIM.

HE WAS JUST LEAVING.

MY NAME IS ZINC,
MR. HIBBING.

I DON'T CARE
WHAT YOUR NAME IS.

YOU WANT TO LIVE,
YOU'LL GET OUT.

MR. HIBBING...

THIS IS NOT YOUR DAUGHTER.

OH, REALLY?

GET HER! THERE'S A THOUSAND
BUCKS IN IT FOR YOU!

[ TIRES SCREECH ]

[ TIRES SCREECH ]

IT'S OVER THERE.

LET'S LOAD UP!

Hibbing: BRADY!
GET 'EM UP!

HEY, WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU?

JUST REACH.

WERE YOU FOLLOWED?

I DON'T THINK SO.

THAT'S GOOD...

BECAUSE HE'S THE MAN.

LET'S GO, BRADY.

I GOT NO CHOICE.

Barney: DROP IT!

THANK YOU.

I DON'T FEEL
AFRAID ANYMORE.

I THINK I'M GOING
TO BE ALL RIGHT.

WE KNOW YOU'RE
GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.
