The Untouchables (1959–1963): Season 3, Episode 25 - The Contract - full transcript

Get out of here!

Get out of here and
don't stop running!

I could run a million
miles, Johnny.

They'd find me.
They'll find you, too.

Don't make me do it!

Do it, Johnny.

Please.

Please.

Do it, Johnny.

Do it.

Tonight's episode...



Starring Robert
Stack as Eliot Ness.

Co-starring Frank
Sutton, Gloria Talbot

and John Larkin.

With special guest
star Harry Guardino.

And narrated by Walter Winchell.

On February 4, 1934,

three months of intensive
investigation by Eliot Ness

and the Untouchables
paid off suddenly.

In a Lower East Side
tenement in New York City,

a cheap hoodlum
named Smiley Barris

was being run to earth.

Smiley, you're covered!

You'd better come down!

Remember, Tim,
we can't kill him.



Hold your fire.

Go ahead.

I-I'm coming out!

I'm coming out!

I'm coming out!

We got him, Captain.

He's coming down.

All right, you and
Johnson go get him.

Sorry about your man, Tim.

Yeah.

How's Smiley?

Bullet just grazed his shoulder.

Our sniper was dead
before he hit the ground.

Any idea who he is?

Marco Robels.

Well, that proves one thing.

Kulak means business.

When doesn't he?

We'd better keep
Smiley locked up tight.

Marcos got what he deserved.

If the cops wouldn't
have gotten him,

I would have got him.

Sorry, no tears.

Marco blew the Smiley contract?

Into a million pieces.

I told you in the first place,

I should've handled it.

You're handling it now.

It's that important?

It's that important.

They've got Smiley
on a legitimate rap.

They start putting the screws
on him, he's liable to talk.

How much could he know?

Not as much as I
but more than you.

He was always around.

Johnny Templar
wore him like a gun.

And you think he'll sing?

He scares easy.

And he knows enough

to put us right into the chair.

So, you'll take care of it.

In jail.

What's the matter, Quist?

Don't like a challenge?

All right.

All right, I'll set it up.

That's a lot of
trouble for that clown.

Honest, I'm no big shot.

I'm just a guy, you know.

A schlepper, I run errands.

Attempted murder's no errand.

Your only chance is to talk.

About what?

You know what; that
honor guard you run with.

Kulak, Schultz, Mendy, Templar.

I ain't seen Johnny
Templar in six months.

Honest, he's clean.

What about the others?

I told you, I don't
know nothing.

Yeah, you told us.

For three hours, you've told us.

I'll tell you something.

We know you can blow the
Kulak operation wide open.

You know who told us? No.

Kulak told us.

Kulak told us himself when he
tried to gun you down tonight.

Old Kulak wouldn't
do a thing like that.

You're right, Smiley.

He had Marco
Robels do it for him.

That was Marco you
knocked off that roof?

That's right.

Why would Kulak want
to do a thing like that?

He thinks you're gonna talk.

Well, he's wrong.

Understand this, Smiley.

Let them take you out of
here and you're a dead man.

Whether you like it or
not, you're on our team.

What about it, Smiley?

I don't know nothing.

All right, have it your way.

Stein, book him and put
him in a cell for the night.

The judge will talk
to him in the morning.

All right, let's go.

What do you think, Eliot?

He's facing 20 years to life.

He'll talk.

Guard! Guard!

Guard! Guard! Guard! Guard!

Get me out of here!

Get me out of here,
I gotta make a call!

Get me out of here!

Morning, MacKane.

Hello, Fuller, it's
good to see you.

You don't mean that.

Eliot, you remember Mr. MacKane.

Edwin T. MacKane, member
of the New York State Bar,

legal counsel for one of our

most outstanding
citizens, Joe Kulak.

You make legal counsel
sound like a dirty word.

Words aren't dirty. Only people.

I'm going to do you
a favor, Mr. Ness.

I'm not going to
take that personally.

As a matter of fact, I am
here representing Mr. Kulak.

He's authorized me to post bail

for the release
of Smiley Barris.

If this is a cover, MacKane,
it's pretty transparent.

What are you talking about?

Smiley was sprung
about an hour ago.

Is that true?

That's true.

Well, you can believe
this or not, Mr. Ness,

but I'm sure that Mr. Kulak

had nothing to do
with Smiley's release.

Who else but Kulak
would blow 25,000

on a prize package like Smiley?

Jennings,

did the prisoner
have any visitors

after we left last night?

No, sir.

Did he make any phone calls?

Yes, sir, one.

About 3:00 this morning,

he began screaming like
a madman for a telephone.

He hadn't made the
one authorized call,

so we let him do it.

Who'd he call?
I don't know, sir.

It was collect to some
number in California.

Good day, gentlemen.

Good day.

You get a record of
the number? Yes, sir.

Run it down for me right
away; I'll be in my office.

Where're you going, Eliot?

Better start packing.

I got a pretty good idea whose
name will go with that number.

Johnny Templar?

Let me know when
you hear, huh? Yeah.

Captain.

California.

Well, then, it's not
too hard to figure.

Thanks, MacKane.

So?

You heard it.

After your boy missed
his target last night,

Smiley goes crying to Papa.

Papa sends him a 25
grand going-away gift.

Papa being Johnny Templar, hmm.

Now what?

Why ask me?

It's your contract.

You carry it out.

But I'll tell you something.

If Templar's got it

in his big head to
play games with me,

you'd better be ready
to teach him my rules.

I'll be in touch.

Quist... don't mess it up.

Don't worry, Kulak.

I always work harder
when I don't like the guy.

Just a tower of sentiment.

I'll tell you something else.

I don't like Templar, either.

First things first.

Have a good trip.

Three-and-a-half miles
off the California coast,

the plush gambling ship,
Amigo, rode at anchor.

Its captain, a New York mobster

named Johnny Templar.

I'll go with you.

Number 20, black. Oh! Even.

Try 36 this time.

All right.

No, try a little more on the...

Ladies and gentlemen, ladies
and gentlemen, thank you...

Now, Mrs. Cohane,
you're not really losing.

The man next to you
is stealing your chips.

Why, that's my husband!

Oh, I knew he looked suspicious.

Oh, darling!

No more bets.

Everybody walk carefully
now, please... right this way.

At ten five that same night,

Eliot Ness and the Untouchables
arrived in Los Angeles

in the company of local
federal agent, Porter Wagner.

They went directly to
the pier at Santa Monica.

Can I help you, mates?

How do we get out to the Amigo?

Well, the last
launch is just leaving.

Hold it down there, Pedro!

We have some more cargo here.

Right this way, gentlemen.

Thank you.

You still got that little
man working for you?

What man?

The guy that always
keeps interrupting us

every time I'm playing
Rudolph Valentino.

No. I fired him weeks ago.

Come in, little man.

Hiya, Johnny.

Hey, Smiley!
Honey, look who it is!

Smiley! What are you doing here?

I just got off the train.

Sleazy son of a gun!

Honey, this is my best
buddy, Smiley Barris,

the best buddy I ever had.

The best buddy anybody ever had.

Smiley, this is Jeanne.

Hi! Hello.

Hey, you'd better like her,

because in a couple of months,

you're going to be the
best man at the wedding.

Hey, no kidding.
I'm getting married!

Hey, that's great! That's great!

Well, I think it is. Johnny
told me a lot about you.

Hey, wait a minute,
wait a minute...

I put up 25 grand to
get you out of the pokey.

You didn't tell me anything on
the phone about coming out here.

That's my bail
you're running out on.

I'll show up for
the trial, Johnny.

Johnny, I got to talk to you.

Yeah, go ahead.

Well, it's, uh... It's
kind of personal.

Uh, I... That's
all right, honey.

Go on. Sit down, sit down.

Come on.

Go ahead.

Johnny,

I think the boys
are gunning for me.

Why?

I don't know.

No, I swear I don't.

They tried that
night I called you.

Right in the jail. I couldn't
just sit there, Johnny.

Well, why are the boys
gunning for you, Smiley?

Mind if I have a drink, Johnny?

Go ahead.

Maybe they think you'll sing.

Would you, Smiley?

You know me better
than that, Johnny.

What do you want me to do?

Will you hide me, Johnny?

Look, I know it's
a lot to ask, but...

Well, I didn't know
anywhere else to go.

You know, Smiley, when you
dig a hole, you really dig it deep.

Please, Johnny, huh?

Please?

Okay, okay.

You can stay on the ship...
at least for a couple of days

until I figure out what
I can do with you.

Thanks, Johnny.

Yeah.

This guy's the
greatest in the world.

Don't you ever forget it.

Marty, come here.

This is my friend.
Take him down below

and give him the
best cabin we got.

I'll talk to you later.

Okay, Johnny.

Thanks. Congratulations!

Well, he sure
can sit up and beg.

Honey... he's a great guy.

Yes. So are you.

Hello there.

I want to get out there.

Out where? The Amigo?

I'm sorry. The last
shuttle just took off.

You'll have to come
back tomorrow.

Want to rent your boat?

No, thanks.

I'll give you a good price.

I said, "No, thanks." Beat it.

That's what I thought you said.

Nice little boat. How
about ten dollars?

I told you to beat it.

Come in.

Hello, Johnny.

Well, Ness... what a surprise.

Not a pleasant
surprise, but a surprise.

What can I do for you?
You want a check okayed?

I want Smiley Barris.

He was seen on board
not over two hours ago.

What do you know?
I got a rat on my ship.

One that talks to feds.

Where's Smiley?

I want to get to him before
some of your other friends do.

You know, that's what
I like about you, Ness.

You got a big heart.

Are you on their side?

What's the matter with you?

Smiley and I
started out together.

That was then.

Now you've got a
big stake to protect.

Look, Ness, I want
to tell you something.

I'm getting out of the business.

On the level, on the level.

Sure, right now I'm doing
favors for a few friends back east,

but in a couple of months,

when I'm finished with my
business here, no more favors.

You really think you
can get out, huh?

What are you talking about?
I'm practically out already.

Here, let me show you something.

You'll enjoy this.

"Sportsman John Templar
honored at baseball dinner awards..."

"John Templar and
socialite Jeanne Lawder..."

That's my fiancée. "Socialite."

"John Templar, fiancée,
gala opera opening..."

Huh? Look at this.

Movie actresses, oil men...

I've got even a Duchess.

I got some movie
stars outside right now.

Wanting out and being
out are two different things.

Smiley's going to
complicate matters.

Will you listen to me?
In a couple of months,

I'm going to turn the whole
West Coast over to Kulak,

all tied up in a
pretty pink ribbon.

Then I turn my back
on the business.

You should make
a pretty good target.

You know, Ness, we're
in international waters.

I don't have to give
you Smiley Barris.

I don't have to give
you the right time.

Sure, Johnny, but
you're missing one thing.

What?

Kulak doesn't recognize
any three-mile limit.

Place your bets, ladies and
gentlemen, place your bets.

No more bets.

You get a classy crowd.

Feds and all.

What are you doing here, Quist?

I got the contract on Smiley.

So...?

So, you gonna finger
him for me, John?

I haven't seen him.

That's hard to believe.

You just work at it.

No, I'm not going to bother.

I think you're lying.

That's what I'm telling Kulak.

I don't care what
you tell Kulak.

This is my territory
and I do what I want.

Kulak doesn't like it,
you just tell him to tell me.

You always were a
grandstander, Johnny.

Maybe that's why
I never liked you.

I'll be back tomorrow
to look around...

with a couple of boys.

Suit yourself.

Good night. Good night.

Open up, Smiley. It's me.

Hey, Johnny, this
ain't bad, you know?

Yeah, well, don't
get used to it.

I got to get you off the ship.

I just got here.

I know you just got here.

Quist was here tonight.

He's got the contract on you.

Quist?

What did you tell him?

That I didn't see you.

Then everything's okay, right?

I mean, I-I can
just sit it out here,

and he won't
know the difference.

I'm sorry, Smiley.

It's too dangerous.

For who, Johnny?

For both of us.

I got to get you off.

Where to?

I don't know.

My place would be
too easy for them.

The Hideout, maybe.

You mean the old
spot on Melrose?

Mm, yeah.

I'm going to open it
again this summer.

Yeah, that... No,
no, forget it. Forget it.

That's no good, either.

No lights, no phone. Listen...

There's a little
hotel on Wilcox.

I'll set it up for you.

We'll sneak you off
the ship in the morning.

What if they're
watching the docks?

I'll have my boys drop you
off somewhere down the coast.

Please, Johnny,
can't I stay here?

I told you no.

But you said you'd help.

Well, I'm trying to
help you! What...

What do you think I'm doing?

Yeah.

I'm sorry, Johnny.

Yeah.

The following evening,
Johnny Templar paid a visit

to one outpost of
his far-flung empire:

a Culver City dog track.

Does he ever catch the rabbit?

Oh, no, honey, not that rabbit.

That rabbit never gets caught.

He's got it made.

Not like real life, huh, Johnny?

Seen any rabbits lately, John?
Rabbits were born to be caught.

This is a private party, Quist.

I'd just as soon we
kept it that way, huh?

Sure, John. No hard feelings.

Matter of fact, I
just dropped by

to bring you some good news.

Kulak cancelled my
contract on Smiley.

You're kidding.

I thought you'd be pleased.

Excuse me, Mr. Templar.

There's a phone call
for you in the back hall.

Yeah, thanks, kid.

This is, uh, still a
private party, Quist.

Sure, John, sure.
Be right back, baby.

Lead the way.

Right here, Mr. Templar.

Right. Thanks, kid. Here.

Thank you.

Hello?

Hello, Johnny.

Hey, Joe. How are you?

Fine, Johnny, but
I've got a problem.

Yeah?

Yeah.

The problem is you, Johnny.

Well, what do you mean?

Too much publicity,
too much attention,

too much independence.

And I've got another problem...

Smiley Barris.

I just saw Quist.

He told me you cancelled
the contract on Smiley.

That's right. I
cancelled his contract.

And guess what, Johnny?

Well, don't you want to guess?

I'm giving the contract to you.

So long, Johnny.

Now back to...

You want to, uh,
tell me about it now?

No.

I don't want you to
get involved in this.

Thanks for the chivalry,
but I am involved.

I love you, Johnny.

Honey, I've just been
given the order to kill Smiley.

"I love you, Johnny"
doesn't help, does it?

You're not going to...?!

I've got the contract. You
know what that means?

No.

I'll tell you what it means.

One of the first basic rules:

You don't fulfill a contract,

they put one out on you.

Believe me, baby, I'm
talking as an expert.

Johnny... the things
you used to do,

you're, you're not the same man.

Yes, I am, baby.

It's still the same
Johnny Templar.

They know it.

They could see right
through the fancy friends

and the fancy clothes.

What're you gonna do?

What am I gonna do?

I'm gonna kill Smiley,
that's what I'm gonna do.

Well, Ness, I've
been expecting you.

Have you?

Yeah. After all,
you've had a tail on me

ever since the other
night on the boat.

We didn't want you to
get lonely in a strange city.

Gee, thanks.

How'd he make out on
the dogs the other night?

Oh, he's just been
following one in particular.

What do you want, Ness?

Just a warning, Quist.

I want Smiley Barris,
and I want him alive.

So?

That's it.

You think I want to hit Smiley?

You didn't come 3,000
miles to shoot a game of pool.

I got a train ticket
home for tomorrow night.

Your bloodhound must
have seen me buy it.

He saw you.

That doesn't
mean you'll be on it.

I'll be on it.

Meanwhile, Ness,
do me a favor, hmm?

Tell your boy to
stick real close.

There are a couple
of guys in this town

who wouldn't mind
seeing me knocked over.

You know something, Quist?

There are more
than just a couple.

Think he's bluffing?

Quist doesn't bluff unless
he's holding the cards.

Shall I stay with him?

No.

You know what I think?

He came out here
on Smiley's contract.

Then he's lying.

It figures two ways:

Either he's already
killed Smiley,

or he had the contract
and got rid of it.

Give it to somebody else, huh?

Johnny Templar's the only
one he's talked to in town.

Well, it's a lead.

Then let's follow it.

It's better than hanging around

the morgue for Smiley.

Yeah?

Smiley? It's me.

Johnny, I thought
maybe you'd forgotten me.

Nah, you know
better. Listen, Smiley?

Yeah?

I'm afraid I'm going to
have to move you again.

How come?

Well, you know.

I don't want to
take any chances.

Back to the boat?

No, sorry.

Look, in a couple of hours,
meet me back at the Hideout, huh?

Yeah, sure.

Oh, look, uh, make sure
you're not being followed.

Don't worry, Johnny.

I don't want to
get myself killed.

No, I don't want
that either, Smiley.

I'll see you later, huh?

Yeah.

May I ask how long

you've known Johnny
Templar, Miss Lawder?

You may. Six months.

How much do you know
about his background?

I know he was a gangster,
if that's what you mean.

Was?

Mr. Ness, if you're trying
to get something on Johnny,

you're talking to
the wrong person.

I'm going to marry him.

Is that to be before
or after he kills Smiley?

It wasn't too
difficult to figure out.

Kulak wants Smiley dead.

A man called Quist shows up.

Quist, being Kulak's enforcer,

and the only one he talks
to in town is Johnny Templar.

So, if Quist doesn't
have the contract,

and we don't think he
does, that just leaves Johnny.

That's a long way
to travel on an "if."

That's right. Maybe
Smiley's already dead.

Do you love Johnny
Templar, Miss Lawder?

What?

Do you love Johnny
Templar, Miss Lawder?

Very much.

Then listen carefully.

If Johnny kills Smiley
Barris, we'll get him for it.

We'll get him if we have
to use every federal agent,

every policeman in the country.

And when we get
him... When, not if...

He'll go straight
to the gallows.

All right, Mr. Ness,
you've made your point.

Now just for the
sake of argument,

if Johnny did have this contract
and didn't carry it through,

we both know what
would happen to him.

All right, it's a tough spot.

He's got one out, and only one.

That's if Johnny's got a good
excuse why he can't kill Smiley.

Such as?

Such as Smiley
being in the custody

of the United States Government.

Oh.

You want Johnny to
show you where Smiley is?

That way, at least he
has a chance to get clear.

And if he refuses?

I'd cancel the wedding plans.

Good night, Mr. Ness.

Good night, Miss Lawder.

I think you made
an impression, Eliot.

Let's hope she can.

Just get out, Jeanne,
it's none of your business!

Johnny, Johnny,
you listen to me now!

I told you I can't
turn him over to Ness.

Listen, it's a chance.

They'd know it was
me in five minutes.

Johnny, please, I love you!

I love you, now,
please don't kill him!

Look, what is this?

This where Ness told you to cry?

Huh? Oh.

Johnny... I don't know you.

I just don't know
you. You know me.

You know me! I'm John Templar.

Gangster, gambler,
murderer, killer!

What... you know me!

Who do you think I was?

Somebody that you
built up in your mind

out of a movie, huh?

Get out, get out, get out!

Get out!

Hey, Miss Lawder.

Is something wrong? Oh, Smiley!

Smiley, please
don't go in there!

I'm supposed to
meet Johnny in there.

He's already in there.

Well, sure, he's waiting for me.

Please, Smiley, you can't!

Look, Miss Lawder,
Johnny's waiting for me.

He's gonna kill you!

Who, Johnny?

Ah, you got it all
wrong, Miss Lawder,

you got it all wrong.

He has the contract on you!

Can't go in there.

Johnny's waiting for me.

No, no, no, no, please, don't!

Johnny's waiting for me!

No, don't!

Johnny?

Johnny?

Johnny.

Johnny!

Hello, Smiley.

I didn't see you there, Johnny.

That's okay.

It's... funny seeing
this old place again.

Looks just the same, and it...

Well, it must be at
least ten years, huh?

You ought to see
it in the daytime.

It's pretty dirty.

Yeah.

You really gonna
open it up again?

Yeah.

Hey, that's great.

You got the contract on me,

don't you, Johnny?

Get out of here, Smiley.

I can't.

Smiley, will you walk
out and don't stop?

I can't run anymore.

I'm tired, Johnny.

I'm tired.

Smiley, get out of here!

Get out of here and
don't stop running!

I could run a million
miles, Johnny.

They'd find me.
They'll find you, too.

Smiley... don't make me do it.

Don't make me do it.

Hey.

Don't make me do it.

It's okay, Johnny.

Don't make me do it!

Look at my hand, Smiley.

I haven't had a gun in my hand

in over two years!

It looks like it's
been there all my life!

Get up and get out of here.

Do it, Johnny.

Do it.

Please.

Please.

Do it, Johnny.

Do it.

With the cooperation

of the Los Angeles
Police Department,

Eliot Ness had begun
a large-scale manhunt

for Smiley Barris.

A dozen reports identified
a dozen different Smileys

in a dozen widespread areas.

None of the reports checked out.

Even the usually
reliable tipsters

were unable to
provide a single clue

as to Smiley's whereabouts.

Have you heard
from the girl yet, Eliot?

Not since last night.

Anything new in those
police reports, Lee?

Well, they picked up a flock

of small-time crooks, Eliot,

but nothing on Smiley.

We got every available
man working on it.

I know, I still think
Templar's our best bet.

You put a tail on
him? This morning.

We spotted him leaving the boat.

Good. Let's put a
wire tap on his phones.

Both of them. Ship to
shore and his house.

You think time's running out?

Just hope it hasn't
run out already.

Johnny.

I have a train to catch, Johnny.

Well, you can
leave happy, Quist.

Smiley's dead.

Good.

Very good.

He didn't have time
to write out a will,

but I'm quite
sure that he'd like

Kulak to have these.

No, you keep them, Johnny.

I need more than that.

Like what?

You haven't been away that long.

Like the body.

Or a witness or something.

You know the law.

I dropped the body in the ocean

somewhere down the coast.

Look, John,

I go back, I tell Kulak
you made the hit.

And in a couple of weeks,

Smiley is spotted
in, uh, Mexico City.

Now, a thing like that
could be embarrassing.

That's all I got.

You got till 12:00, John.

After that, I get a
body of my own.

In fact, a couple of bodies.

Okay, Quist, 12:00 tonight.

I'll meet you at the Hideout.

9300 Melrose.

I'll have the best
proof you ever got.

Okay, Johnny.

But I hope you messed it.

I'd take your
contract for nothing.

304, Mr. Barris, please.

Hello?

Hello, Smiley.

Johnny, I've just been
sitting here by the phone.

How'd it go?

Huh. Well, he fell for
it, lock, stock and wallet.

But, uh, listen, Smiley,

I think it would be safer

if you got out of town
for a couple of weeks.

Meet me at the Hideout later.

Yeah, sure, Johnny.

Oh, no, Johnny... Johnny, no!

Johnny? Johnny,
is something wrong?

Johnny? Johnny?

Hello, Smiley.

Johnny, is something wrong?

No, no, look, just meet me
at the Hideout, huh, 11:30?

Wait for me upstairs.

You got that?

Yeah, I got it.

See you later, Smiley.

Smiley, we don't have much time.

I still don't know.

Ness will give you all
the protection you need.

Otherwise, Johnny
doesn't have a chance.

How do you know they
won't kill Johnny anyway?

I don't know.

But otherwise, you'll
both be dead for sure.

About me, I don't care anymore.

It's Johnny.

He was the only guy
that ever treated me

like I was something
besides some kind of dog.

Give him a piece of
bread, he did a good trick.

Kick him, he makes
too much noise.

Look, I know what I am.

I'm not kidding myself.

But I'm no animal.

Johnny always made me
feel like I was something good.

I'll do whatever you
think is right for Johnny.

You see, I love that guy.

So do I.

So, let's go.

Okay.

She's dead, Johnny.

I'm sorry.

Dead?

How?

She was shot.

Must've died instantly.

Do you know who did it?

We have an idea.

Do you?

Yeah.

I have an idea.

All right, Ness,

you've been wanting
me to hand over Smiley.

I'll do it.

Tonight, right here.

But I've got to do it my way.

If you send any of
your boys after me,

I'll lead them all
over God's earth.

And you come up empty.

My way or not at all.

Okay, your way.

Make yourselves at home.

Should I go after him?

Not when he's looking
over his shoulder.

All we got from that phone tap

is that Johnny told Smiley
to meet him at a hideout.

Yeah, well, that
could be anywhere.

Judging from these pictures,

Johnny isn't the
type for a hideout.

Hey, look at this.

It's a picture of Johnny
and Smiley together.

Looks like you were right, Rico.

Lee, call Headquarters.

See if you can get the
address of a nightclub

called the Melrose Hideout.

Might not even be open now.

I've been waiting
for you, Johnny.

Have you, Quist?

Got the proof?

I got it.

I'd like to see it.

You know, I happened to
see Smiley walking around

two hours ago.

Just stay right
where you are, Quist.

What is that for, Johnny?

You've had a busy
night, haven't you?

Well, I'm gonna close
everything out for you.

Don't do nothing foolish.

I'm not gonna do
anything foolish.

I'm just gonna put a
bullet right through you.

Kulak will have every gun

in this country aimed at you

before I hit the floor.

How does it feel, Quist, huh?

Tell the truth.

How does it feel to know

that in a minute,
you're gonna be dead?

Johnny, no!

He's still alive, Eliot.

Looks like we got
here just in time.

Maybe we should have
been a few minutes late.

Let's go, Smiley.

Wait, wait a minute, please.

Johnny.

He gave me a box of cigars once.

Brought them all
the way from Spain.

The testimony of Smiley Barris

spelled the beginning of the end

for Kulak's murderous empire.

Smiley himself died
in prison in 1951.

As for Johnny Templar,
he had gotten his wish.

He was out of the rackets.

The Untouchables.
