The Untouchables (1959–1963): Season 2, Episode 21 - The Lily Dallas Story - full transcript
Lily Dallas is a highly intelligent ex-con who has a history of committing bank robberies. This time she and her husband George 'Blackie' Dallas, who is known for his deft use of a Tommy gun, kidnap a well known and very rich businessman Thomas B. Randall and demand $300,000 ransom. Mrs. Randall follows their instructions and doesn't contact the police until after she has paid the ransom so Ness puts out a rumor that all of the bills have been marked. Blackie however is beginning to chafe under Lily's orders, all the more so as she is having an affair with a member of her crew, Marty Stoke. With the ransom money now unmovable, they go back to robbing banks.
You're on your own now, Randall.
Now.
Now!
Tonight's episode...
Starring Robert
Stack as Eliot Ness.
Co-starring Norma Crane,
Linda Watkins and Ed Nelson.
Special guest star Larry Parks.
And narrated by Walter Winchell.
In the dark Depression
days of 1932,
a man of wealth was a target
for the discontented
of all shades,
from the hungry to the criminal.
Millionaire building contractor
Thomas B. Randall
was no exception.
At ten minutes after 10:00
on the night of April 11,
as he entertained
a party of friends
on his estate bordering
Lake Michigan in Chicago,
the guard at the gate
outside, Joe Alcott,
was about to receive
a bonus of death
from the gang of
George "Blackie" Dallas,
ex-society bootlegger,
now gang leader,
and by reputation,
ruthless murderer.
With Dallas that night
were Pete Appleby,
formerly torpedo
for the Purple Gang,
Marty Stoke, bank heist expert,
two months out of
jail on a second rap,
and Jiggs, ex-heavyweight
boxer, strong arm man.
Outside, Pop.
Pete?!
Well, when they tried to
sell me the Eiffel Tower,
I thought it was about
time I fought back, so I said,
"All right, I'll
buy the property,
but do you mind
showing it to me first?"
Oh, no!
I couldn't keep a straight face.
Tom was divine!
We had them working five hours
showing us every
bit of construction.
Oh, you should
have been there...!
So, I said, "It's beautiful,
but I'm not interested."
I said, "You see, my wife
is susceptible to colds,
"and I'm afraid all
this open construction
would be too drafty for her."
The Eiffel Tower...
Can you imagine!
On your feet! Everyone!
Marty.
Oh!
Oh, no! No!
No, no, please don't...!
Now, there's no
need to get rough.
We'll give you
whatever we have on us.
Pete!
What are you doing?
Where are you going?
Where are you taking my husband?
We're not going any place.
What are you doing with him?
Now, listen to me, lady!
Notify the police, you
don't see him again.
And that goes for
your friends here, too.
One of you squawks to the cops,
you're putting the
bullet through his head!
Oh, no, no!
No, no, don't!
No!
Kidnapping is the most
reprehensible of all crimes,
and the most risky.
It requires the planning
skill of a bank robber,
the dead conscience of
a professional murderer
and the skill and
instinct of a psychologist.
Few women have
those qualifications.
Lily, Mrs. George
"Blackie" Dallas,
was the exception.
Only recently out of prison,
where she had served
five years for armed robbery,
she had masterminded bank jobs
involving nearly
a million dollars,
long since spent.
Mostly, she stayed
in the background,
a trick she learned from
Master Legs Diamond,
who helped her through
the awkward age,
supplying furs,
jewels and know-how.
Like Diamond, Lily
was an executive.
She handpicked her gangs
and created her lieutenants.
The top talent she
often developed herself,
sometimes married.
Present husband, George Dallas,
was her most original invention.
She had put a machine gun
in the hands of a
small-time bootlegger,
taught him how to use it
and fostered the
legend of his cruelty.
Yes?
We did it.
All right.
Meet me at my mother's
tomorrow afternoon at 3:00.
Check. Anything else?
Just don't get careless.
Lily, it went beautiful!
You'd have been proud.
I'll be proud when we've got
the money in our hands, George,
not before.
The getaway car
was found abandoned
across the state line,
prints wiped clean.
The kidnappers had
obviously changed cars.
At the Randall estate,
guard Alcott's body had
been recovered from the pond.
On hand next morning
to question Mrs. Randall were
Eliot Ness and Lee Hobson.
You've given the
kidnappers a good head start
by not calling the
authorities, Mrs. Randall.
Every minute lost
lessens the chance
of getting your husband
back quickly and safely.
I wonder what any wife
would have done in my place.
There's something you
can still do, Mrs. Randall.
You'll be getting a ransom note
from the kidnappers soon.
It will contain more threats,
as well as a demand for money.
Now don't be intimidated again.
I want your promise
you'll call me before
you make any move.
I can't promise
you that, Mr. Ness.
It may be your
husband's only hope.
You say that because
you're a policeman,
and it's your job
to catch criminals!
And that's all you're
really concerned about!
But I don't care if
they're ever caught.
All I want is my husband back.
That's just the sort of thinking
they're counting
on, Mrs. Randall.
I can't afford to believe
that you're right, Mr. Ness.
You see, I... I
delivered the money
to a bench in Lincoln
Park this morning as...
as this letter instructed me to.
It came this morning.
Ness moved quickly.
After instructing his men
to send out messages
via the underground grapevine,
stating that the ransom
money had been marked
and was therefore hot,
he got some answers
on the ransom note
from a handwriting expert.
Words cut out and
pasted together.
Written at different
times with different inks.
There's one in pencil.
Looks like the writing
of someone illiterate.
Possibly, but I'd
be more inclined
to say it's a child's.
A child's?
Girl, probably,
about nine or ten.
Notice the unevenness
here and there.
It might indicate
an emotionally
unstable little girl.
You had no right to throw
out Arlene's compositions.
She saves them!
It was an accident, I told you.
You keep this
place like a pigpen!
I was just cleaning up.
You're hard, Lily.
You never did have
no gentleness in you!
Now where would I find
gentleness, Mama dear?
From that sweatshop
you sent me to work in
when I was 13 years old?
From the guys you picked up
to buy your lousy booze, huh?!
You two been at it again?
Here. This is not for booze!
It's for Arlene's food.
Come on, let's get going.
Well, wait a minute.
I got a toy for the kid.
I'll wait in the car.
See that? Not even his own kid,
and he had the heart
to bring her a toy.
Her own mother don't even...
Why don't you crawl
in a bottle and cork it?
Is this strictly
a private party,
or can a handsome fella come in?
Did you know about it?
About what?
That she threw away
my compositions,
even my poem, my secret poem.
Arlene, now, that
was a mistake, baby,
but don't be sore at your ma.
Anyway, look what I brought you.
Coming, baby!
You know what?
Her name's Arlene,
just like yours.
How about that
for a coincidence?
Oh, don't be mad at me, honey.
I'm your fella, remember?
Good work, boys.
I hear it went like a breeze.
Just like you planned.
Well, everything else is
gonna go just as smooth
if you follow what
I say to the letter.
Now, when Marty gets here,
I'm gonna take the money,
and I'm gonna hold on to it
just to be sure
that this Mrs. Randall
doesn't pull any tricks, right?
If things look good
in a couple of days,
I'll be in touch with you when
we meet at the beauty parlor
for the payoff.
But until you get the
word from me, you lay low!
And you don't try to make
contact with each other or me.
That's in case there's
any cop activity close by.
Do you understand that? - Yeah.
Where could Marty be?
He's not late yet.
I don't want to
take up the subject
of what we do with Mr. Randall
until Marty gets here.
How'd it go, Marty?!
Money!
Ah, booty.
300,000 lollipops!
With solid gold sticks.
Now, what we have to consider,
and I mean it's our only...
Our only consideration is us.
Look, how can this
guy put the finger on us?
We dump him off on the highway,
somebody picks him
up, and he gets home.
We drove him around in circles.
He'd never be able
to find this place again.
I say we play it safe.
Look, the guy's got
a wife and family.
Oh. Oh!
Has anybody got a violin?
My husband's gonna
entertain us with a sad song.
You planned he
shouldn't be killed yourself.
Well, I'm planning
it differently now!
Now, I say we protect ourselves.
And we shut this Mr. Randall
up tight and permanent.
Permanent!
Now, what do you boys say?
Sure, Lily. Right.
You call it, Lil.
Well, you see, Georgie,
you're out of step
with the crowd.
Are you gonna
get back into step,
or are you gonna secede
from the union, huh?
Look, baby, it, uh...
It was just a suggestion.
Well, let's get
it over with fast!
Looks like Georgie's
getting a little obsolete, huh?
I don't like anybody
criticizing my husband.
Well, I was just thinking
maybe you're thinking about
getting yourself a trade-in
on a... on a new model, hmm?
A machine's a machine
as long as it goes.
The difference is
in the performance.
Are you getting
ambitious, Marty, huh?
I got moxie I haven't
even used yet, Lily,
and you... you've got brains.
That's enough of that.
Marty.
I hope I didn't let the
air out of your tires.
You're on your own now, Randall.
Now.
Now!
The body of kidnap
victim Thomas B. Randall
was found floating
in Lake Michigan
by a holiday fisherman.
Yes, it's he.
May I have the
wedding ring, please?
Oh, if only I'd waited
for your advice.
Don't blame
yourself, Mrs. Randall.
It might've made no difference.
Ben, let me see his hand.
Those scratches,
were they there when
he was alive? Yes, sir.
It's in the coroner's report.
Looks like the letter "C."
Yeah, it sure does.
That might be a two, and those
two straight lines
could be ones.
C-2-1-1.
One more number and
it'd read like a license plate.
Just a lot of scratches to me.
Ness got a record of all
Chicago license plates
having the numbers C211 on them.
Then his men undertook
the task of tracking down
each possible car and
checking its whereabouts
during the last 48 hours.
There were ten possibilities.
For Lily Dallas,
there was only one:
to wait until she got word that
the money was not marked.
Meantime, it was
business as usual
at the Fleur-de-Lis
Beauty Salon.
I thought you were sleeping.
I'm up.
How can you tell?
What's that, a new dress?
Is it? Well, what do you know?
I didn't even notice.
And a new hairdo.
Yes. I did it myself.
For who?
There's a short circuit
in one of the permanent
wave machines, Georgie.
Why don't you make
yourself useful and fix it, huh?
Who're you going out with, Lily?
Charlie Chaplin, he
wants to put me in pictures.
Any objections?
It's Marty, isn't it?
Why don't you fix
that short circuit, dear?
And why don't you
answer my question?!
I'll answer it, Georgie,
when the time comes.
You'll be the first
to know, I promise.
Go inside, Arlene.
Who is it?
Federal officer.
Mrs. Murphy, I won't
take up much of your time.
I'd just like some
information about your car.
You got a search warrant?
Who is it, Granny?
No one. Stay in there.
That car's bought and paid for.
If you want to come in,
you get a search warrant.
I didn't do nothing the police
have to go snooping around!
Fleur-de-Lis Beauty Salon.
George, there was
a cop here just now.
What? A cop.
A federal cop.
He wanted to come in.
What'd he want?
It was about my car.
He's going to get
a search warrant.
Ma, pack up.
I'll be over in ten minutes
to get you. Ten minutes!
It's got to take longer than
that to get a search warrant.
Even as they spoke,
Hobson was alerting Ness,
who found the situation
suspicious enough to move on.
He placed a call to
the local authorities
and arranged for
a search warrant.
A third call took
place seconds later.
Yeah?
Marty, this is George.
Is Lily there?
It's George.
He wants to know if you're here.
I'm not here.
Uh, sorry, Georgie.
She says she's not here.
Quiet, now.
It's George.
Come on, sweetheart,
get in the car.
Where are we going?
What are you worrying?
George'll take care of you.
Come on, baby, get in the car.
That's a girl.
Now, listen, Ma,
I'm going to take
you to a place I know,
a hotel, a good one.
But there's one thing.
Lily's not to know about it.
You don't call her.
From now on, you
take care of Arlene
like she was yours.
Yours and mine.
I'm footing the
bills, Lily's out.
Why not?
She'll probably be
glad to get rid of us.
Come on, we gotta hurry.
And now, back to
The Untouchables.
That the car?
Yeah.
Looks like nobody's home.
Someone didn't
want your Mrs. Murphy
to get to know you better.
Let's have a look around.
Eliot?
This look familiar?
Child's handwriting.
If it matches the ransom
note, we're getting started.
Keep looking.
How old would you
say Mrs. Murphy was?
Oh, late 50s. Why?
Think she's a type for
"Desire Me Red" lipstick?
I wouldn't have thought so.
It wouldn't be the kid's.
Late 50s, you say,
that could make Mrs.
Murphy a grandmother.
If so, there's a
generation missing.
The kid's mother.
Maybe she's the
"Desire Me Red" type.
What's this?
"Manufacturer's
sample, not to be sold.
Blush Cosmetics."
Not to be sold, to be
given away... to whom?
I may be way off,
but I got a hunch this
lipstick case is loaded.
The child's handwriting
on the paper
found in Mrs. Murphy's house
checked with the ransom note.
Ness's next stop was to
the office of the president
of the Blush Cosmetic Company.
The president's name
was Francois Simone.
Oui, this is from our line.
That is, we did not go
ahead and mass produce.
They decided the
color was too raw.
Who's "they"?
The trade.
You see, we make these samples
and give them at no
charge to the trade.
They give us their opinion.
If they do not like, we
do not manufacture.
By the "trade", you
mean the beauty shops?
Oui.
Do you keep a record of
what shops get the samples?
Of course. Would
you like to see?
Please.
Oh, Danielle, ce monsieur
voudrait la liste des clients
a qui nous avons donné
le "Désirez-Moi" en rouge,
sil vous plaît.
N'importe quoi pour ce monsieur.
Danielle has mistaken
you for a buyer.
That is to say, if she knew
you were an officer of the law,
she would not be so bold.
Oh, I see.
Merci.
We distributed only a
dozen of "Desire Me Red"
in the greater Chicago area.
Ness looked over the
names and addresses.
It would take less than
a day to check them all.
The Ness manufactured rumor
of the marked ransom money
had finally reached
the right ears.
There was a hurried meeting
in the back room of
Lily's beauty parlor.
Hey, look, I'm not
saying it's the final proof,
but if I get it from
the Turkish bath,
and Jiggs gets it from
the Capone boys...
How come I didn't hear it?
You don't have no
contact with the word, Lily.
It sounds like the kind of talk
that the fences
might have started.
What for?
To get us to unload
the money cheap.
It could also be true.
The Feds are in on the case.
If they got to
Mrs. Randall first,
the bills could have been marked
and still left in time for
Marty to pick them up.
I don't need you to
color pictures for me!
Well, that's the way
I look at it, too, Lily.
That enough out of you, too!
All right, we don't
spend the money yet.
So what do we do?
The one thing we don't
do is to act without thinking.
I'll take a day or so to
come up with something,
and in the meantime, I'll...
Yes?
There's a man here wants
to see you, Mrs. Dallas.
Why is she still here?
She stays to clean
up after I closed.
What's he selling?
I don't know. He
wants to see you.
Now, that could be trouble.
It could also be a salesman.
I'll see him in a minute.
All right, we'd
better break this up.
Keep cool and
stay away from here.
A meeting like
this, once too often,
could become noticeable.
When I've got
something, I'll get in touch.
Out the back way,
boys, I'll show you.
Look, I, uh, I got a little
insurance picked out for us...
A bank job...
Just in case the money
doesn't cool off soon.
We need a bank job now
like we need to grow tails.
Look, I mean for you and me.
A little trip, maybe...
costs dough.
I've got other plans
for the money, Marty.
I'm gonna buy me a house,
for my old lady and my kid.
And then Georgie and me
will try to make it family style.
Oh, come on, you and George!
I keep forgetting
that's why I married him
in the first place,
because he gets along
with Arlene so nice.
So nice, it makes me
jealous sometimes.
All right, what about me?
You don't own the
lease yet, Marty,
you only just put
in your application.
Get going.
Hello, I'm Mrs. Dallas.
You wanted to see me?
How do you do?
Just like to ask some questions.
Eliot Ness!
You're the man that
spills Al Capone's beer.
I try.
Well, what would you
want here, Mr. Ness?
This is a salon, not a saloon.
I know the difference.
Mrs. Dallas, ever been at
number 154 East Hub Drive?
Oh, I've been to a lot
of places, Mr. Ness.
You can't expect me
to remember all of them.
I mean recently.
Well, perhaps, if you
told me who lived there,
maybe I'd remember.
A Mrs. Murphy.
Murphy!
That's my maiden name.
But my mother's dead.
She was the only
Mrs. Murphy I knew.
Just a chance.
Do a good business in cosmetics?
Not bad.
You must keep up
with all the latest colors.
It is my business.
Ever hear of a shade
called "Desire Me Red"?
No, I don't think so.
Why?
You've never used it, huh?
Good night, now.
Good night, Margie, dear.
I was asking you if
you'd ever used it.
What?
A shade called "On Fire Red".
You were asking me
about a shade called
"Desire Me Red".
Oh, you remembered.
Mr. Ness, what are
you trying to prove?
Suppose you answer
the question, Mrs. Dallas.
All right.
As far as I can remember,
I never used that shade.
Does that answer your question?
Not definitely.
Is there anything else?
Yes, that, uh, that
powder case there,
I think my wife might like it.
What's the price?
This so called
"powder-case", Mr. Ness,
is called a compact.
It's ten dollars.
Don't bother to wrap it.
There we are.
Thank you.
Thanks for your
time, Mrs. Dallas.
And thank you for your
business, Mr. Ness.
George?!
George!
Yeah?
Eliot Ness was here!
He asked me about my mother.
He knows where she lives.
What'd he want with her?
Central 3978.
He also bought my
fingerprints on a compact!
Oh?
Well, where is she?!
Where could she be at this hour?
Maybe you got the wrong number.
We're going out there right now.
Oh, Lily... give it another try!
Lily!
Ma?
Arlene?
Ma!
Could be Ness picked them up.
No, no, I could tell
by his questions.
He never talked to my mother.
Maybe she just got
tired of fighting with you,
took Arlene and scrammed.
Why?
Why would she take the
kid and walk out like that?
Oh, sure, sure, we-we fought,
but we've been
fighting all our lives.
That's how we are!
We don't know anything else!
Lily...
You've got women's
eyes, Georgie.
Do you know that?
Where do you get off
feeling sorry for me?
Look, honey...
I'm gonna tell you
something, Georgie.
Let them go.
I don't need my mother.
I don't need my kid.
She needed me, Georgie!
Maybe this is what
the doctor ordered...
A clean break.
That's what it is!
Maybe it's time
for a clean break
all the way around.
Baby, don't... No!
Get out, Georgie.
You get out, get out!
Get out, get out!
Get out!
No, Marty, I'm through
with that routine.
It's for suckers... no more!
Because I want
to get moving fast!
Now, George knows a fence
he used to do business with.
An even 50 cents on the dollar.
Yeah!
We're still ahead, Marty!
We deal the others out.
How about it?
We can go on that trip
you talked about, Marty.
Just the two of us.
We'll live it up like the
world is gonna end in a week.
Like we're on the tail
end of a fire cracker!
Lily's fingerprints
revealed her prison record,
adding to Ness's
interest in her.
A quick investigation by his men
revealed other
pertinent information.
She's no small-time gun moll.
Before Legs
Diamond threw her out
she was said to be the
power behind the throne.
She has a daughter,
aged nine, father unknown;
her mother's still alive,
whereabouts unknown.
Her husband, George
Dallas, former bootlegger,
said to be a big man
with a machine gun.
His nickname is
"Blackie" Dallas.
Since she left Legs,
several bank jobs have
been attributed to her.
Only the last one was provable.
That's the one
she got sent up on.
Anything else?
Just incidental information.
According to the warden,
Lily's IQ was the second highest
ever to cross the
prison threshold.
But not high enough
to keep her out.
Where do they live?
Well, they both get their
mail at the beauty parlor.
Probably living
quarters in the back.
Unfortunately, we've got nothing
to tie them in with the
Randall kidnapping,
except a lipstick and
some favorable signs.
We've got to get a lot more.
That means alternating
shifts day and night
in the area of her beauty salon.
I want to get to know Mr. and
Mrs. Blackie Dallas intimately.
That's the woman
who works there.
Something wrong, Mrs. Dallas?
No, Margie, nothing's wrong.
Uh, would you dust off the
stock in the supply case?
Yes, Mrs. Dallas.
We're being watched.
Ness?
Maybe it's just my imagination,
but I think you're gonna
take a little walk up the street.
Let's take a ride
around the corner.
I didn't see anybody.
Well, they're
out there all right.
What's the name of
that fence you knew?
The one that could
handle anything?
Sal Figero?
Go out the back
way and get the car.
I'll meet you around
the corner at 12:30.
What for?
We're gonna get what we can
from that ransom
money and beat it.
It's getting very
uncomfortable around here.
Yeah, but if they're
watching the store,
how are you gonna get out?
Especially with all the dough?
Baby, this is Lily, remember?
Get going.
Wait a minute.
You'd better take Junior.
We may need him.
20 after 12:00... No customers.
Mrs. Dallas isn't doing
a very good business.
Lunchtime for the help.
The Dallases must
be minding the store.
Why would they close
the shop this early?
Let's have a look.
Don't see anyone in there.
Help! Help! Listen.
Help!
Someone help me!
Now remember,
we don't take less than
50 cents on the dollar.
Sure, Lily.
Only that don't leave
much to divvy up five ways.
We're not going to divvy
it up five ways, Georgie.
Just two.
Who's the two?
Now, who do you think, George?
300 grand.
Same as the take
from the Randall snatch.
I thought you went into the
bank heisting business, George.
We're not here to talk
hobbies, Mr. Figero.
What are you offering?
Not a fence in town
would touch this loot.
The word's out.
Make an offer.
No offer.
I'll take 60 cents
on the dollar.
You'd take 40,
only I wouldn't pay it.
That hot, huh?
Like they say,
you could see it
glow in the dark.
Plus, with Ness on the case,
handling this stuff is
for the suicide-minded.
Me, I got no such inclinations.
Sorry, George.
We've got something else
worth selling, Mr. Figero.
Talking bullets!
You know what they say?
They say, "Bye, bye,
bye, bye!" Mr. Figero.
Now, there's only one
way to shut them up.
You talk first.
50 cents on the dollar.
Come on, lady.
George don't want
to shoot anybody.
Look at him!
He's got a stomach
full of powder puffs.
That's what happens to a man
when he lets a woman
take over, George!
Now, George... now!
Lily.
He's laughing at you, George!
But there's no reason.
You listen hard, laughing boy!
Hysterical for hours
after the Untouchables
liberated her
from the beauty parlor,
Margie, under sedation,
calmed down enough
for Ness to question.
That's all I know.
She called me in, I
walked through the door,
I... I felt something
hit me on the head,
and the next thing I know,
I'm lying on the floor all tied up.
Any idea where they've gone? No.
Did you ever hear them
mention the name Randall?
They mixed up in that?
Did you?
They never talked
in front of me at all.
That's all, miss, thank you.
They're making a run for it.
Did you get the all-points
bulletin out on them?
All taken care of.
Blackie went to the toy store.
Did he buy anything?
No, he just talked
to the guy behind the counter.
They might have
done business before.
The guy behind the counter
might be worth talking to.
Oh, it looks like it could
be a good long time
before we can get anything
out of that ransom money.
Meantime, we gotta get something
to put in our pockets.
Marty there's got an idea.
Tell them about it, honey.
All right, it's a bank job.
Now, I got the whole thing
cased and a guy on the inside.
Should be at least a
hundred grand in there for us.
We split it up five ways, and...
well, that's a lot of coupons
for ten minutes work.
When does the heist come off?
This afternoon.
So quick?
We gotta act quick.
Ness is moving in.
Ness?
I'd like to have a look
at the lay of the land
before we pull the job.
You and Jiggs, get
down there right away.
Marty and me will
meet you at the corner
of Simpson and
Elder, south side.
The bank's across the street.
When?
Give us a half an hour.
What about me?
You stay here by the
phone in case we need you.
You think you can
handle that, Georgie?
I still think you're
making a mistake.
Don't worry about him.
If he talks, he puts
the finger on himself.
And that takes
something he hasn't got.
Come on, Marty, what do you say
you and me go
out and have a drink
before we go to work, huh?
I'm ready.
If you leave me, you're
gonna be sorry, Lily.
Oh, stop it; you're
breaking my heart.
If you leave me,
you'll never find your
mother and the kid.
What? What's that?
Yeah, yeah, it was
me who got them away.
I know where they are.
What do you mean, it was you?
The Feds found the
house. I got them out in time.
I was all set to
tell you about it
when I heard you
talking to Smiley here.
Where are they, Georgie?
Leave me, and you
will never find out.
Never!
Marty!
You come here, you.
Hotel Trafalger... room 301.
I'm gonna go there right now.
No! Good night, George!
No, there isn't any time!
Look, after the job.
As the Untouchables
headed for the toy store,
Marty's project
was being staged.
It was conducted with boldness,
in broad daylight in
the Dillinger manner.
With inside help from
accountant Morgan Gates,
who had sold the scheme
to Marty, it started smoothly.
Gates had waited a year
for this, and he was proud
to have his former colleagues
see him in this new role.
Anyone reaches
for an alarm is dead.
Over there.
Hurry up, hurry up.
Oh, yes, Mr. Dallas
was a very good customer.
He has a little
girl, nine years old,
or at least his wife does.
Did you ever have
any toys sent to her?
I believe so.
Do you have an address on her?
Yes. Here... 154 East Hub Drive.
I've got that one. Isn't
there a new address?
No, sir.
Oh, but this came back
this morning for repair.
A bellboy from some
hotel brought it in.
Mr. Dallas bought
it just the other day.
Do you have the
name of the hotel?
Can't say I do.
When is this
supposed to be ready?
Oh, it's ready now.
I told the boy he could pick
it up any time this afternoon.
We'll wait.
Ready yet?
Yes, yes, it's ready.
I'd like to ask you
a few questions.
Hey, I thought we're going back
to Marty's place.
Lily likes it better this way.
You boys stay in
the car until I call you.
Marty, come with me.
Mrs. Dallas?
It's Ness.
Eliot?
She's in the hotel.
I lost her at the elevator.
Been waiting for you, Lily.
This is how I
dreamed you, Georgie.
Like you are right now.
Just like this.
I... I've got plenty of
money now, George.
We can go away, the two of us.
Forget Marty.
The two of us, Georgie.
Put the gun down, mister.
Lily Dallas's nine-year-old
daughter was given
in custody to the
state and grew up
to become a well-known
Broadway actress.
As for Mr. and
Mrs. Blackie Dallas,
their renewed romance
had begun too late.
Now.
Now!
Tonight's episode...
Starring Robert
Stack as Eliot Ness.
Co-starring Norma Crane,
Linda Watkins and Ed Nelson.
Special guest star Larry Parks.
And narrated by Walter Winchell.
In the dark Depression
days of 1932,
a man of wealth was a target
for the discontented
of all shades,
from the hungry to the criminal.
Millionaire building contractor
Thomas B. Randall
was no exception.
At ten minutes after 10:00
on the night of April 11,
as he entertained
a party of friends
on his estate bordering
Lake Michigan in Chicago,
the guard at the gate
outside, Joe Alcott,
was about to receive
a bonus of death
from the gang of
George "Blackie" Dallas,
ex-society bootlegger,
now gang leader,
and by reputation,
ruthless murderer.
With Dallas that night
were Pete Appleby,
formerly torpedo
for the Purple Gang,
Marty Stoke, bank heist expert,
two months out of
jail on a second rap,
and Jiggs, ex-heavyweight
boxer, strong arm man.
Outside, Pop.
Pete?!
Well, when they tried to
sell me the Eiffel Tower,
I thought it was about
time I fought back, so I said,
"All right, I'll
buy the property,
but do you mind
showing it to me first?"
Oh, no!
I couldn't keep a straight face.
Tom was divine!
We had them working five hours
showing us every
bit of construction.
Oh, you should
have been there...!
So, I said, "It's beautiful,
but I'm not interested."
I said, "You see, my wife
is susceptible to colds,
"and I'm afraid all
this open construction
would be too drafty for her."
The Eiffel Tower...
Can you imagine!
On your feet! Everyone!
Marty.
Oh!
Oh, no! No!
No, no, please don't...!
Now, there's no
need to get rough.
We'll give you
whatever we have on us.
Pete!
What are you doing?
Where are you going?
Where are you taking my husband?
We're not going any place.
What are you doing with him?
Now, listen to me, lady!
Notify the police, you
don't see him again.
And that goes for
your friends here, too.
One of you squawks to the cops,
you're putting the
bullet through his head!
Oh, no, no!
No, no, don't!
No!
Kidnapping is the most
reprehensible of all crimes,
and the most risky.
It requires the planning
skill of a bank robber,
the dead conscience of
a professional murderer
and the skill and
instinct of a psychologist.
Few women have
those qualifications.
Lily, Mrs. George
"Blackie" Dallas,
was the exception.
Only recently out of prison,
where she had served
five years for armed robbery,
she had masterminded bank jobs
involving nearly
a million dollars,
long since spent.
Mostly, she stayed
in the background,
a trick she learned from
Master Legs Diamond,
who helped her through
the awkward age,
supplying furs,
jewels and know-how.
Like Diamond, Lily
was an executive.
She handpicked her gangs
and created her lieutenants.
The top talent she
often developed herself,
sometimes married.
Present husband, George Dallas,
was her most original invention.
She had put a machine gun
in the hands of a
small-time bootlegger,
taught him how to use it
and fostered the
legend of his cruelty.
Yes?
We did it.
All right.
Meet me at my mother's
tomorrow afternoon at 3:00.
Check. Anything else?
Just don't get careless.
Lily, it went beautiful!
You'd have been proud.
I'll be proud when we've got
the money in our hands, George,
not before.
The getaway car
was found abandoned
across the state line,
prints wiped clean.
The kidnappers had
obviously changed cars.
At the Randall estate,
guard Alcott's body had
been recovered from the pond.
On hand next morning
to question Mrs. Randall were
Eliot Ness and Lee Hobson.
You've given the
kidnappers a good head start
by not calling the
authorities, Mrs. Randall.
Every minute lost
lessens the chance
of getting your husband
back quickly and safely.
I wonder what any wife
would have done in my place.
There's something you
can still do, Mrs. Randall.
You'll be getting a ransom note
from the kidnappers soon.
It will contain more threats,
as well as a demand for money.
Now don't be intimidated again.
I want your promise
you'll call me before
you make any move.
I can't promise
you that, Mr. Ness.
It may be your
husband's only hope.
You say that because
you're a policeman,
and it's your job
to catch criminals!
And that's all you're
really concerned about!
But I don't care if
they're ever caught.
All I want is my husband back.
That's just the sort of thinking
they're counting
on, Mrs. Randall.
I can't afford to believe
that you're right, Mr. Ness.
You see, I... I
delivered the money
to a bench in Lincoln
Park this morning as...
as this letter instructed me to.
It came this morning.
Ness moved quickly.
After instructing his men
to send out messages
via the underground grapevine,
stating that the ransom
money had been marked
and was therefore hot,
he got some answers
on the ransom note
from a handwriting expert.
Words cut out and
pasted together.
Written at different
times with different inks.
There's one in pencil.
Looks like the writing
of someone illiterate.
Possibly, but I'd
be more inclined
to say it's a child's.
A child's?
Girl, probably,
about nine or ten.
Notice the unevenness
here and there.
It might indicate
an emotionally
unstable little girl.
You had no right to throw
out Arlene's compositions.
She saves them!
It was an accident, I told you.
You keep this
place like a pigpen!
I was just cleaning up.
You're hard, Lily.
You never did have
no gentleness in you!
Now where would I find
gentleness, Mama dear?
From that sweatshop
you sent me to work in
when I was 13 years old?
From the guys you picked up
to buy your lousy booze, huh?!
You two been at it again?
Here. This is not for booze!
It's for Arlene's food.
Come on, let's get going.
Well, wait a minute.
I got a toy for the kid.
I'll wait in the car.
See that? Not even his own kid,
and he had the heart
to bring her a toy.
Her own mother don't even...
Why don't you crawl
in a bottle and cork it?
Is this strictly
a private party,
or can a handsome fella come in?
Did you know about it?
About what?
That she threw away
my compositions,
even my poem, my secret poem.
Arlene, now, that
was a mistake, baby,
but don't be sore at your ma.
Anyway, look what I brought you.
Coming, baby!
You know what?
Her name's Arlene,
just like yours.
How about that
for a coincidence?
Oh, don't be mad at me, honey.
I'm your fella, remember?
Good work, boys.
I hear it went like a breeze.
Just like you planned.
Well, everything else is
gonna go just as smooth
if you follow what
I say to the letter.
Now, when Marty gets here,
I'm gonna take the money,
and I'm gonna hold on to it
just to be sure
that this Mrs. Randall
doesn't pull any tricks, right?
If things look good
in a couple of days,
I'll be in touch with you when
we meet at the beauty parlor
for the payoff.
But until you get the
word from me, you lay low!
And you don't try to make
contact with each other or me.
That's in case there's
any cop activity close by.
Do you understand that? - Yeah.
Where could Marty be?
He's not late yet.
I don't want to
take up the subject
of what we do with Mr. Randall
until Marty gets here.
How'd it go, Marty?!
Money!
Ah, booty.
300,000 lollipops!
With solid gold sticks.
Now, what we have to consider,
and I mean it's our only...
Our only consideration is us.
Look, how can this
guy put the finger on us?
We dump him off on the highway,
somebody picks him
up, and he gets home.
We drove him around in circles.
He'd never be able
to find this place again.
I say we play it safe.
Look, the guy's got
a wife and family.
Oh. Oh!
Has anybody got a violin?
My husband's gonna
entertain us with a sad song.
You planned he
shouldn't be killed yourself.
Well, I'm planning
it differently now!
Now, I say we protect ourselves.
And we shut this Mr. Randall
up tight and permanent.
Permanent!
Now, what do you boys say?
Sure, Lily. Right.
You call it, Lil.
Well, you see, Georgie,
you're out of step
with the crowd.
Are you gonna
get back into step,
or are you gonna secede
from the union, huh?
Look, baby, it, uh...
It was just a suggestion.
Well, let's get
it over with fast!
Looks like Georgie's
getting a little obsolete, huh?
I don't like anybody
criticizing my husband.
Well, I was just thinking
maybe you're thinking about
getting yourself a trade-in
on a... on a new model, hmm?
A machine's a machine
as long as it goes.
The difference is
in the performance.
Are you getting
ambitious, Marty, huh?
I got moxie I haven't
even used yet, Lily,
and you... you've got brains.
That's enough of that.
Marty.
I hope I didn't let the
air out of your tires.
You're on your own now, Randall.
Now.
Now!
The body of kidnap
victim Thomas B. Randall
was found floating
in Lake Michigan
by a holiday fisherman.
Yes, it's he.
May I have the
wedding ring, please?
Oh, if only I'd waited
for your advice.
Don't blame
yourself, Mrs. Randall.
It might've made no difference.
Ben, let me see his hand.
Those scratches,
were they there when
he was alive? Yes, sir.
It's in the coroner's report.
Looks like the letter "C."
Yeah, it sure does.
That might be a two, and those
two straight lines
could be ones.
C-2-1-1.
One more number and
it'd read like a license plate.
Just a lot of scratches to me.
Ness got a record of all
Chicago license plates
having the numbers C211 on them.
Then his men undertook
the task of tracking down
each possible car and
checking its whereabouts
during the last 48 hours.
There were ten possibilities.
For Lily Dallas,
there was only one:
to wait until she got word that
the money was not marked.
Meantime, it was
business as usual
at the Fleur-de-Lis
Beauty Salon.
I thought you were sleeping.
I'm up.
How can you tell?
What's that, a new dress?
Is it? Well, what do you know?
I didn't even notice.
And a new hairdo.
Yes. I did it myself.
For who?
There's a short circuit
in one of the permanent
wave machines, Georgie.
Why don't you make
yourself useful and fix it, huh?
Who're you going out with, Lily?
Charlie Chaplin, he
wants to put me in pictures.
Any objections?
It's Marty, isn't it?
Why don't you fix
that short circuit, dear?
And why don't you
answer my question?!
I'll answer it, Georgie,
when the time comes.
You'll be the first
to know, I promise.
Go inside, Arlene.
Who is it?
Federal officer.
Mrs. Murphy, I won't
take up much of your time.
I'd just like some
information about your car.
You got a search warrant?
Who is it, Granny?
No one. Stay in there.
That car's bought and paid for.
If you want to come in,
you get a search warrant.
I didn't do nothing the police
have to go snooping around!
Fleur-de-Lis Beauty Salon.
George, there was
a cop here just now.
What? A cop.
A federal cop.
He wanted to come in.
What'd he want?
It was about my car.
He's going to get
a search warrant.
Ma, pack up.
I'll be over in ten minutes
to get you. Ten minutes!
It's got to take longer than
that to get a search warrant.
Even as they spoke,
Hobson was alerting Ness,
who found the situation
suspicious enough to move on.
He placed a call to
the local authorities
and arranged for
a search warrant.
A third call took
place seconds later.
Yeah?
Marty, this is George.
Is Lily there?
It's George.
He wants to know if you're here.
I'm not here.
Uh, sorry, Georgie.
She says she's not here.
Quiet, now.
It's George.
Come on, sweetheart,
get in the car.
Where are we going?
What are you worrying?
George'll take care of you.
Come on, baby, get in the car.
That's a girl.
Now, listen, Ma,
I'm going to take
you to a place I know,
a hotel, a good one.
But there's one thing.
Lily's not to know about it.
You don't call her.
From now on, you
take care of Arlene
like she was yours.
Yours and mine.
I'm footing the
bills, Lily's out.
Why not?
She'll probably be
glad to get rid of us.
Come on, we gotta hurry.
And now, back to
The Untouchables.
That the car?
Yeah.
Looks like nobody's home.
Someone didn't
want your Mrs. Murphy
to get to know you better.
Let's have a look around.
Eliot?
This look familiar?
Child's handwriting.
If it matches the ransom
note, we're getting started.
Keep looking.
How old would you
say Mrs. Murphy was?
Oh, late 50s. Why?
Think she's a type for
"Desire Me Red" lipstick?
I wouldn't have thought so.
It wouldn't be the kid's.
Late 50s, you say,
that could make Mrs.
Murphy a grandmother.
If so, there's a
generation missing.
The kid's mother.
Maybe she's the
"Desire Me Red" type.
What's this?
"Manufacturer's
sample, not to be sold.
Blush Cosmetics."
Not to be sold, to be
given away... to whom?
I may be way off,
but I got a hunch this
lipstick case is loaded.
The child's handwriting
on the paper
found in Mrs. Murphy's house
checked with the ransom note.
Ness's next stop was to
the office of the president
of the Blush Cosmetic Company.
The president's name
was Francois Simone.
Oui, this is from our line.
That is, we did not go
ahead and mass produce.
They decided the
color was too raw.
Who's "they"?
The trade.
You see, we make these samples
and give them at no
charge to the trade.
They give us their opinion.
If they do not like, we
do not manufacture.
By the "trade", you
mean the beauty shops?
Oui.
Do you keep a record of
what shops get the samples?
Of course. Would
you like to see?
Please.
Oh, Danielle, ce monsieur
voudrait la liste des clients
a qui nous avons donné
le "Désirez-Moi" en rouge,
sil vous plaît.
N'importe quoi pour ce monsieur.
Danielle has mistaken
you for a buyer.
That is to say, if she knew
you were an officer of the law,
she would not be so bold.
Oh, I see.
Merci.
We distributed only a
dozen of "Desire Me Red"
in the greater Chicago area.
Ness looked over the
names and addresses.
It would take less than
a day to check them all.
The Ness manufactured rumor
of the marked ransom money
had finally reached
the right ears.
There was a hurried meeting
in the back room of
Lily's beauty parlor.
Hey, look, I'm not
saying it's the final proof,
but if I get it from
the Turkish bath,
and Jiggs gets it from
the Capone boys...
How come I didn't hear it?
You don't have no
contact with the word, Lily.
It sounds like the kind of talk
that the fences
might have started.
What for?
To get us to unload
the money cheap.
It could also be true.
The Feds are in on the case.
If they got to
Mrs. Randall first,
the bills could have been marked
and still left in time for
Marty to pick them up.
I don't need you to
color pictures for me!
Well, that's the way
I look at it, too, Lily.
That enough out of you, too!
All right, we don't
spend the money yet.
So what do we do?
The one thing we don't
do is to act without thinking.
I'll take a day or so to
come up with something,
and in the meantime, I'll...
Yes?
There's a man here wants
to see you, Mrs. Dallas.
Why is she still here?
She stays to clean
up after I closed.
What's he selling?
I don't know. He
wants to see you.
Now, that could be trouble.
It could also be a salesman.
I'll see him in a minute.
All right, we'd
better break this up.
Keep cool and
stay away from here.
A meeting like
this, once too often,
could become noticeable.
When I've got
something, I'll get in touch.
Out the back way,
boys, I'll show you.
Look, I, uh, I got a little
insurance picked out for us...
A bank job...
Just in case the money
doesn't cool off soon.
We need a bank job now
like we need to grow tails.
Look, I mean for you and me.
A little trip, maybe...
costs dough.
I've got other plans
for the money, Marty.
I'm gonna buy me a house,
for my old lady and my kid.
And then Georgie and me
will try to make it family style.
Oh, come on, you and George!
I keep forgetting
that's why I married him
in the first place,
because he gets along
with Arlene so nice.
So nice, it makes me
jealous sometimes.
All right, what about me?
You don't own the
lease yet, Marty,
you only just put
in your application.
Get going.
Hello, I'm Mrs. Dallas.
You wanted to see me?
How do you do?
Just like to ask some questions.
Eliot Ness!
You're the man that
spills Al Capone's beer.
I try.
Well, what would you
want here, Mr. Ness?
This is a salon, not a saloon.
I know the difference.
Mrs. Dallas, ever been at
number 154 East Hub Drive?
Oh, I've been to a lot
of places, Mr. Ness.
You can't expect me
to remember all of them.
I mean recently.
Well, perhaps, if you
told me who lived there,
maybe I'd remember.
A Mrs. Murphy.
Murphy!
That's my maiden name.
But my mother's dead.
She was the only
Mrs. Murphy I knew.
Just a chance.
Do a good business in cosmetics?
Not bad.
You must keep up
with all the latest colors.
It is my business.
Ever hear of a shade
called "Desire Me Red"?
No, I don't think so.
Why?
You've never used it, huh?
Good night, now.
Good night, Margie, dear.
I was asking you if
you'd ever used it.
What?
A shade called "On Fire Red".
You were asking me
about a shade called
"Desire Me Red".
Oh, you remembered.
Mr. Ness, what are
you trying to prove?
Suppose you answer
the question, Mrs. Dallas.
All right.
As far as I can remember,
I never used that shade.
Does that answer your question?
Not definitely.
Is there anything else?
Yes, that, uh, that
powder case there,
I think my wife might like it.
What's the price?
This so called
"powder-case", Mr. Ness,
is called a compact.
It's ten dollars.
Don't bother to wrap it.
There we are.
Thank you.
Thanks for your
time, Mrs. Dallas.
And thank you for your
business, Mr. Ness.
George?!
George!
Yeah?
Eliot Ness was here!
He asked me about my mother.
He knows where she lives.
What'd he want with her?
Central 3978.
He also bought my
fingerprints on a compact!
Oh?
Well, where is she?!
Where could she be at this hour?
Maybe you got the wrong number.
We're going out there right now.
Oh, Lily... give it another try!
Lily!
Ma?
Arlene?
Ma!
Could be Ness picked them up.
No, no, I could tell
by his questions.
He never talked to my mother.
Maybe she just got
tired of fighting with you,
took Arlene and scrammed.
Why?
Why would she take the
kid and walk out like that?
Oh, sure, sure, we-we fought,
but we've been
fighting all our lives.
That's how we are!
We don't know anything else!
Lily...
You've got women's
eyes, Georgie.
Do you know that?
Where do you get off
feeling sorry for me?
Look, honey...
I'm gonna tell you
something, Georgie.
Let them go.
I don't need my mother.
I don't need my kid.
She needed me, Georgie!
Maybe this is what
the doctor ordered...
A clean break.
That's what it is!
Maybe it's time
for a clean break
all the way around.
Baby, don't... No!
Get out, Georgie.
You get out, get out!
Get out, get out!
Get out!
No, Marty, I'm through
with that routine.
It's for suckers... no more!
Because I want
to get moving fast!
Now, George knows a fence
he used to do business with.
An even 50 cents on the dollar.
Yeah!
We're still ahead, Marty!
We deal the others out.
How about it?
We can go on that trip
you talked about, Marty.
Just the two of us.
We'll live it up like the
world is gonna end in a week.
Like we're on the tail
end of a fire cracker!
Lily's fingerprints
revealed her prison record,
adding to Ness's
interest in her.
A quick investigation by his men
revealed other
pertinent information.
She's no small-time gun moll.
Before Legs
Diamond threw her out
she was said to be the
power behind the throne.
She has a daughter,
aged nine, father unknown;
her mother's still alive,
whereabouts unknown.
Her husband, George
Dallas, former bootlegger,
said to be a big man
with a machine gun.
His nickname is
"Blackie" Dallas.
Since she left Legs,
several bank jobs have
been attributed to her.
Only the last one was provable.
That's the one
she got sent up on.
Anything else?
Just incidental information.
According to the warden,
Lily's IQ was the second highest
ever to cross the
prison threshold.
But not high enough
to keep her out.
Where do they live?
Well, they both get their
mail at the beauty parlor.
Probably living
quarters in the back.
Unfortunately, we've got nothing
to tie them in with the
Randall kidnapping,
except a lipstick and
some favorable signs.
We've got to get a lot more.
That means alternating
shifts day and night
in the area of her beauty salon.
I want to get to know Mr. and
Mrs. Blackie Dallas intimately.
That's the woman
who works there.
Something wrong, Mrs. Dallas?
No, Margie, nothing's wrong.
Uh, would you dust off the
stock in the supply case?
Yes, Mrs. Dallas.
We're being watched.
Ness?
Maybe it's just my imagination,
but I think you're gonna
take a little walk up the street.
Let's take a ride
around the corner.
I didn't see anybody.
Well, they're
out there all right.
What's the name of
that fence you knew?
The one that could
handle anything?
Sal Figero?
Go out the back
way and get the car.
I'll meet you around
the corner at 12:30.
What for?
We're gonna get what we can
from that ransom
money and beat it.
It's getting very
uncomfortable around here.
Yeah, but if they're
watching the store,
how are you gonna get out?
Especially with all the dough?
Baby, this is Lily, remember?
Get going.
Wait a minute.
You'd better take Junior.
We may need him.
20 after 12:00... No customers.
Mrs. Dallas isn't doing
a very good business.
Lunchtime for the help.
The Dallases must
be minding the store.
Why would they close
the shop this early?
Let's have a look.
Don't see anyone in there.
Help! Help! Listen.
Help!
Someone help me!
Now remember,
we don't take less than
50 cents on the dollar.
Sure, Lily.
Only that don't leave
much to divvy up five ways.
We're not going to divvy
it up five ways, Georgie.
Just two.
Who's the two?
Now, who do you think, George?
300 grand.
Same as the take
from the Randall snatch.
I thought you went into the
bank heisting business, George.
We're not here to talk
hobbies, Mr. Figero.
What are you offering?
Not a fence in town
would touch this loot.
The word's out.
Make an offer.
No offer.
I'll take 60 cents
on the dollar.
You'd take 40,
only I wouldn't pay it.
That hot, huh?
Like they say,
you could see it
glow in the dark.
Plus, with Ness on the case,
handling this stuff is
for the suicide-minded.
Me, I got no such inclinations.
Sorry, George.
We've got something else
worth selling, Mr. Figero.
Talking bullets!
You know what they say?
They say, "Bye, bye,
bye, bye!" Mr. Figero.
Now, there's only one
way to shut them up.
You talk first.
50 cents on the dollar.
Come on, lady.
George don't want
to shoot anybody.
Look at him!
He's got a stomach
full of powder puffs.
That's what happens to a man
when he lets a woman
take over, George!
Now, George... now!
Lily.
He's laughing at you, George!
But there's no reason.
You listen hard, laughing boy!
Hysterical for hours
after the Untouchables
liberated her
from the beauty parlor,
Margie, under sedation,
calmed down enough
for Ness to question.
That's all I know.
She called me in, I
walked through the door,
I... I felt something
hit me on the head,
and the next thing I know,
I'm lying on the floor all tied up.
Any idea where they've gone? No.
Did you ever hear them
mention the name Randall?
They mixed up in that?
Did you?
They never talked
in front of me at all.
That's all, miss, thank you.
They're making a run for it.
Did you get the all-points
bulletin out on them?
All taken care of.
Blackie went to the toy store.
Did he buy anything?
No, he just talked
to the guy behind the counter.
They might have
done business before.
The guy behind the counter
might be worth talking to.
Oh, it looks like it could
be a good long time
before we can get anything
out of that ransom money.
Meantime, we gotta get something
to put in our pockets.
Marty there's got an idea.
Tell them about it, honey.
All right, it's a bank job.
Now, I got the whole thing
cased and a guy on the inside.
Should be at least a
hundred grand in there for us.
We split it up five ways, and...
well, that's a lot of coupons
for ten minutes work.
When does the heist come off?
This afternoon.
So quick?
We gotta act quick.
Ness is moving in.
Ness?
I'd like to have a look
at the lay of the land
before we pull the job.
You and Jiggs, get
down there right away.
Marty and me will
meet you at the corner
of Simpson and
Elder, south side.
The bank's across the street.
When?
Give us a half an hour.
What about me?
You stay here by the
phone in case we need you.
You think you can
handle that, Georgie?
I still think you're
making a mistake.
Don't worry about him.
If he talks, he puts
the finger on himself.
And that takes
something he hasn't got.
Come on, Marty, what do you say
you and me go
out and have a drink
before we go to work, huh?
I'm ready.
If you leave me, you're
gonna be sorry, Lily.
Oh, stop it; you're
breaking my heart.
If you leave me,
you'll never find your
mother and the kid.
What? What's that?
Yeah, yeah, it was
me who got them away.
I know where they are.
What do you mean, it was you?
The Feds found the
house. I got them out in time.
I was all set to
tell you about it
when I heard you
talking to Smiley here.
Where are they, Georgie?
Leave me, and you
will never find out.
Never!
Marty!
You come here, you.
Hotel Trafalger... room 301.
I'm gonna go there right now.
No! Good night, George!
No, there isn't any time!
Look, after the job.
As the Untouchables
headed for the toy store,
Marty's project
was being staged.
It was conducted with boldness,
in broad daylight in
the Dillinger manner.
With inside help from
accountant Morgan Gates,
who had sold the scheme
to Marty, it started smoothly.
Gates had waited a year
for this, and he was proud
to have his former colleagues
see him in this new role.
Anyone reaches
for an alarm is dead.
Over there.
Hurry up, hurry up.
Oh, yes, Mr. Dallas
was a very good customer.
He has a little
girl, nine years old,
or at least his wife does.
Did you ever have
any toys sent to her?
I believe so.
Do you have an address on her?
Yes. Here... 154 East Hub Drive.
I've got that one. Isn't
there a new address?
No, sir.
Oh, but this came back
this morning for repair.
A bellboy from some
hotel brought it in.
Mr. Dallas bought
it just the other day.
Do you have the
name of the hotel?
Can't say I do.
When is this
supposed to be ready?
Oh, it's ready now.
I told the boy he could pick
it up any time this afternoon.
We'll wait.
Ready yet?
Yes, yes, it's ready.
I'd like to ask you
a few questions.
Hey, I thought we're going back
to Marty's place.
Lily likes it better this way.
You boys stay in
the car until I call you.
Marty, come with me.
Mrs. Dallas?
It's Ness.
Eliot?
She's in the hotel.
I lost her at the elevator.
Been waiting for you, Lily.
This is how I
dreamed you, Georgie.
Like you are right now.
Just like this.
I... I've got plenty of
money now, George.
We can go away, the two of us.
Forget Marty.
The two of us, Georgie.
Put the gun down, mister.
Lily Dallas's nine-year-old
daughter was given
in custody to the
state and grew up
to become a well-known
Broadway actress.
As for Mr. and
Mrs. Blackie Dallas,
their renewed romance
had begun too late.
