How does that work?

I made bond for two.

Men that was subpoena for the federal investigation.

They skipped out.

I've got a final who.

Was mixed up in this investigating hell.

About the name of Jack Madigan is.

The big shot?

You know him.

I read about him enough to advise you to give up.

If he doesn't want him found, the chances out they won't.

Be alive anyway.

Oh no, no, it's just not as bad as that.

Look.

I came all the way from New York.

This is worth a lot to me.

Can I talk to you about it?

All right?

Come up to my apartment.

Maybe we can work out it.

De Edond Bryant in defense Prive Adventure of the man of the action back to expensive gob America is populous free lance invest to get her yours.

I learned that you, mister Strue, by no means above reproach with designing and in the peneral court rest of your agency.

I would at least hear you out when you arrived, which you did at once the year.

Come on and missus Strue, thank you, thanks for spending your time.

I'm in a mess that you should have known better than to make bond for anybody in the going to Tentifa against Jack Madigan.

There was nothing I.

Could do about it.

Who first he into it?

Madigan?

I've done business with some of his friends before, so he came to me this time and said, will I do it the way?

He said that there was nothing else I could do.

Adigan's to the expense himself.

Sure he wanted them, or they could get his hands on him and looks like he did, or they.

Took a runoff.

They didn't have to accept Ben.

They could have stayed in protective custody if they were afraid of him, they had to have.

Madigan told them.

The point is they're gone unless I can.

Prove they're dead.

To find them before they're doing.

Court, I forfeit the fifty thousand dollars twenty five thousand a piece.

I've got to do something.

Why'd you come to me?

I told you I've got to do something that's a federal problem.

You operate in New York, and New York is plenty of hungry private detectives that here, and the fair size heard of policemen.

I'll tell you why I came to you.

The New York cops are busy enough.

And besides, to them, these witnesses are just two names on a long list of missing persons, And as the private dis I could never be sure that one would more than make a deal with Madigan and make more money not finding them, and I'd be paying to fire them.

You get the point.

Well, what makes you think you can trust me?

Well, you were mentioned by a fellow from one of the insurance companies I sell for.

They tell me you're straight, except for patting your expense.

Account here in there.

No, that's slammer who told you that?

Don't make any difference.

What's a little padding?

I want to hire you, okay, mister true you hired me, great, Now go on.

He's missing witnesses.

Nippy Bruno is one real name's Joe.

The other is Max Krauss.

I've got their addresses next to kin, what they look like and so on.

Yeah, and I got it all in the sun.

Look, okay, now there's one other thing.

I want to retain it twenty five hundred bucks.

What's that for?

They are going to work for a man I don't quite trust.

To me.

Five bucks that's pretty steep.

I don't have to pay.

It's up to you.

Yes, I can't get it to the mall.

That'll be fine, a cashiers check.

When I get it, I'll see what I can do for you.

I didn't expect the check to arrive, but it did.

A lot of things have been written and said about Mannigan by other people, groving me none of us.

Really know anything about him, how much power he has.

Where he got it, what his private life is, These witness is being missing?

Isn't even news?

I'm keep that in mind if I were you, Spence kind out of four one camp there that same address to an address on seventy nine, the apartment of Nippi Bruno's next to Ken Sisters stage name Vivian Brown.

Leave me sure, Uh, that's Vivian Brown and which let's say is cooly.

My name is Dollar.

He doesn't know me.

You tell her I have some news about a brother, a mid Please.

This way, please missus Brown and bless him to go out.

I'll ask she'll see you.

Miss Brown.

Yeah, unless the Dollar is here to see you.

He says, here is news about your brother.

Tell him wait, I'll get a take your hat.

Thanks, please shut out?

Its Brown?

What was your name?

I didn't get it, dollar, Johnny Dolla?

What makes you think I've interested in any news about brother Lucy?

And I mentioned of them got me in here.

My butler doesn't stand the door on anybody until I.

Tell it you what brought you here?

I'm looking for your brother.

Then you've definitely come to the wrong place.

Why should you be looking for him?

I'm being paid to the man who put up twenty five thousand dollars bond for him.

Wants to know where he is.

I don't get it.

What bond?

You don't wear innocence very well, angel, But I'm going along with the gag.

It's no gag, and I can do without you and.

Your brother's doing court in two weeks to help the.

Federal man investigate Jack Mannigan.

He seems to have dropped out of sight.

Do you know where he is?

No, I haven't seen much of him in the past few years.

He doesn't approve of me, and I don't approve of him.

Does that answer you a question?

It brings another one to mine.

He seemed to think enough of you to use your name on his bond request papers.

How about that?

All right?

People?

I was only trying to do it easy before you're read.

I heard it you worked in the second paper.

I usually do, but I'm glad to see you in character and automatic makes more sense than that phony butler actors stand up better.

See if he's carrying anything.

Vivian, you're a.

Good boy until you're trying to pod like Walid.

I will.

All right, he says, should do.

But now you should be here at twenty minute.

I'll go back to my room.

Sure, go ahead.

Watch the rough stuff right hasn't been rough.

But if you don't know how close you came to getting your head blown off passing this door, it's ladle that happened to the next one that does like yourself with smoke.

We got about twenty minutes to wait, so we.

Waited twenty minutes.

Vivian came back into the room in a low cut number that.

Was a good choice for a sullen grunette attractiveness.

It made her look soften.

But the few remarks she passed weren't only icy.

They could have come from a long shore.

I was waiting for a brother to come in.

That would have made sense.

What did come in made none at all.

It was Jack Madigan, Hi, Jack, come on in and see what's faw me?

Well, what do you know about it?

Hi?

Yeah, Jack, I'm dank.

Well you don't know that Crystal Well he wanted to play it safe.

Yeah, it's the detective of sound kind.

He was tired for that Strow the fine nippy what that's interesting?

But I have to save yourself, my boy.

Matter of fact, I'm speechless, Maddigan.

Uh, I thought i'd have to find you.

I didn't expect you to find me yet at least and and here?

What's so strange about that?

You and the sister of the missing witness?

M Maybe not so strange as.

You remark yourself.

You're too big here?

Who makes me a hib?

And you put that gun away and go help with the eye?

You say so Jack?

Of course I say I'm sorry.

Yeah, he's been needling me.

For half an hour.

To take her across my knee, waving that gun on your face?

What for?

Anybody knows you can't fire a gun in the department hous without causing a rucket?

Uh?

What's your name?

Dollar?

Many Strew had.

Looking and the other man crowded.

I'll tell you what to do.

You go back to stool and tell him the boys are all right, Oh, let's not be childish, shally and what river?

Are they all right?

Now?

See here and there?

Nobody to take such a testimistic you.

I realize the press has given me a reputation for violence, but I don't deserve There's no reason for me to.

Want to harm those boys.

I'm not afraid of their testimony.

I'm causing up and straight testimony, no perjury this time.

I've already talked to those sweederal men.

I'm cleaning the slate, sister, I'm telling everything and let the chips fall where they be.

I can't estell is.

This the truth?

I'm tired.

I've been a short point of the police and my government's long enough.

I've been offer certain middle lenient people.

I'm going to accept.

It's been later than I thought for a long time.

I'm true.

You know this is an as funny and that's too is you go back and tell that police corridor talk with the boys?

Are all right?

Where are they?

I can't tell you this.

I've got them under cover for their own good.

Now, Dolla's gonna go off half cocked.

A lot of had to go in the fall.

After US was finished with several catechisms, you can think you're the only one looking for them.

Must be a stranger in town if you're.

Trailing the pack.

Highness, this is all like your trunny.

I've heard you'll drop and I don't find them before you're doing court, I will.

What do you want, funny, I got some thanks.

I don't like to hear that.

I suppose it takes a lot of cuts to be a hero, but the tudor will take much break.

Remember that I can leave.

Of course you're gonna leave, because I think you're going to cough this over with yourself come up with an important decision.

I did talk it over with myself, but not until I found a cab stand on the corner and turned around a quarter of a block behind me.

I can they ot the figure of red the so called button expend.

To got out of five twenty dollars there and tip to a driver and sort of it that our cab wasn't followed, But I tell the reasons saved.

I gave him the address of the second missing man, Max Crowd.

I didn't know what I expected to find there, other than an empty flat was possibly a lead of some guy.

There was a trace of light showing.

Under the door.

Come on in, dollars, Red, I didn't expect a butler in a place like this, Come on in.

Why didn't you use your head?

Jack gave you a chance to maybe I should have.

What are you doing here?

I live you.

You're trying to.

Tell me that you're Max Crowds and Max Crouse, and now I've.

Got to do something about you.

Can you prove that your X crowd?

Why should I have to prove it?

Go ahead, like what you want to that brain feature behind you and snap off.

Don't make a play for the gun.

Dum it.

What are your plans?

Megan wants you to put away and to last the investigation.

And this way back doors closer, you can tell Madigan, tell me that this isn't going to work.

Then I drop out of sight for two weeks.

Somebody's going to get on the trail leads right back to Madigan.

This way, I got a car in the garage down the street.

Let him Max, let me say it.

Sure now you believe him, Bummy, get your way.

We will return to the second act of yours truly, Johnny Dollar, in just a moment.

Once a year, the community chest comes knocking at your door seeking your health.

Giving to this worthy cause eliminates many separate appeals which would be more costly in money, time and effort.

So when you give, make sure you're give enough to cover the many campaigns the community chests include, give generously, Give today.

Now with our star.

Edmund O'Brien will return you to the second act of yours, truly, Johnny Dollars.

When the windows and the buildings around me started slamming open, I left the scene of the killing and carried with me a whole new set of thoughts on the jack manning and manners.

None of them are good.

But the worst was the fact that the description I'd gotten a max crowds, but in no way to the dead man.

I now thought the max crowd extends acount item six cab Fatty your addressment.

It's true, but it's eleven of night, mister him a time, and it's kind of chair and sitting at before you land on the floor.

What's got in you?

Who paid you to hire me?

What did you say?

Who did paid me to hire you?

What kind of a question is that?

Answer?

It?

Well, nobody did.

It was my investment?

Who would protect it from me?

What's the matter with you man, look at it.

Read it right there.

I want to hear you next crows aged thirty four or five eleven seventy pounds for the complexion black.

And black eyes.

But all right, why did you give me a pony description to the next crowd?

I found that red hair and blue eyes.

I don't get none of this.

What are you talking?

The crowd is dead.

He was killed because I didn't know who he was and drew him out into the open.

What did it happened?

I would pick up the minute I hit town and followed who else?

But you knew what train I was arriving on and the hotel where I was stopping.

I'll wait a minute, wait them.

I don't think you got rights of jump at these conclusions.

I hired you in good staintany if you don't like the.

Job, to quit, not for a while.

I stand a good chance it ain't picked up.

The questioning and that killing.

I don't like that.

I want an out.

I want to know how it happened.

From here, it looks like you sold out to somebody and hired me to put the finger on Krauss.

I don't like that either.

Let me show you something.

If I was crazy enough to do a thing like that.

I do it so nobody could prove.

What about the phony description?

It may have been a mistake.

I don't know how.

I think we'd better find out and let me know when you come up with a story.

H is Johnny Dollar?

Oh?

Quiet?

Not following me?

Your place?

Madigan?

There?

No where is he?

I don't know.

You got a phone call and left right afterwards was a.

Call about crowds.

You wouldn't kill me?

What about next?

He was killed?

Oh?

I knew it was come awful.

I could tell by it to say I've been scared of that deficency.

Left and I didn't know why.

I'll call back later and say he's in mister Dollar.

I have no right to ask if there's something I want to tell you.

Could you come up?

Can't you tell me over the phone?

Won't you come up?

You alone?

Yes, I'm alone, Okay, I'll take a chance.

It'll be about ten minutes.

It was a five minute walk, and I noticed that New York Street seemed to be quieter than usual.

Inside the building, I walked the two flights up to save the noise my arrival would have created by way of the elevators.

I listened a few minutes outside the door without hearing anything, and took a plunge.

I had the feeling you change your mind and not come.

I almost did.

There's nobody here.

When did Madigan say he'd be back?

He didn't, He didn't say anything.

I have a funny feeling about Krauss that.

But except for my getting mixed up in this message was more Madigan's for the or fault than it was mine.

Why didn't he tell me it was Krauser was here?

If he told me that, I probably would have believed the rest of us post Oh, I don't know.

Nobody really knows anything about Jack.

Nobody You put three men on their way to federal court.

That's saying a few hundred wanting to stop him.

The lidter's gonna blow.

Why do you want to tell me?

I want?

I want to tell you where my brother is.

H huh?

After what happened at Krouds.

Do you think that's why I have to say it?

I'm in an too.

I think Jack knew these things are gonna happen, even about you shoring.

Up, knowing about it or planning it.

I know it sounds impossible, but I keep remembering things he said about how he'd have the government men eating out of his hand.

He was bargaining for leniency, he told me, But why are you writing on him?

Because Jack doesn't care about anybody but himself.

One of the threats to keep him from testifying was that.

I'd be kidnapped.

Huh.

He had known that Max had.

Been killed her to let him take me too.

You think he did know?

He hadn't let Max out of his a potter for almost a month.

Tonight he ordered him to go.

I think he wanted us killed so it'll make it look more dangerous for him.

Does it sound too crazy?

Man?

I know that, and I did a foolish thing after him.

If I called my brother, Nippy told him all this.

I don't know what he thought.

But I tried to call him again, and I don't get any answer.

Where is he?

He's insane with so unless you can right now, I'm a common trio two.

It's cozy.

How afraid of kidnapping?

Are you?

Oh?

I don't know what to do.

I don't know how I can stand staying here and waiting.

Where can I go?

Got a coat?

I'll put you in my hotel room.

Yeah, expense count Item six ten dollars.

Tip to the hotel detectives and see that she stayed in the room.

Item seven twenty cap At a Jack Manigan's address, I dropped my taxi a half blocked down and walked the rest of the way.

What slowed me was the sight of a couple of park in front of the building, and even at that time of night, a small group of the mall that in a scattered circle on the sidewalk.

I saw the body, but didn't move close enough to recognize it.

Hey, what happened?

Oh?

Shooting?

Anybody know who it is?

Every well in the morning.

He was due for a big Federals prope that's Jack Madigan.

Where were you, Chris?

Looked in another of them Westerns.

I suppose there were.

More shooting right here.

Hey find me.

When did it happen to?

You know?

Not exactly.

The been here quite a while, about an hour.

Anyway, I can't find a medical examine, and they can't do a thing about moving them till they do.

Hey, Fred Wade, they had the oils tomorrow night.

You got back in a hurry.

What's the matter?

Your theory has just been riddled.

Madigan has been killed.

I don't believe that's what the spot experts say.

I was wrong about him.

What about Nippy?

I don't think your brother would have been then?

Was he the same one as the chat Meg?

How do you know?

A pot solid at the curve and Madigan was too close to them.

He couldn't have been shot from the street like maxw was You think Nippy would go to your place?

No, you wouldn't go to here.

That'd be the first place he'd look, the first place who'd look.

I know I said that.

This.

I do.

This.

Same things.

That I told him what I was afraid of and.

Warn them not crossed my mind.

And I don't care who I can send it to Madigan's killing as long as.

I can go home.

You seem to be the closest suspect.

You're not serious.

You've given yourself a motive.

As far as I know, you were with him last I wasn't he left the apartment.

If that's true, you've got nothing to worry about.

What do you mean?

What do you want me to do?

Go with me and we'll both make a statement to the police.

You think I'm afraid, Doude, don't you?

I don't know what to think about it?

Yes, you do, because you found me in a mess like this.

You think I'm rocking as everybody else.

I haven't been, but now I will be to check myself.

Well, how badly do you need protection?

I know how the police are.

They're just like you.

They don't care either who they pull in for Jack's death.

You tell me to go with you and make a statement.

The police had loved that.

They'd love to cop the whole thing off, the jealousy or being afraid of Jack.

Wouldn't they wouldn't.

They don't touch me.

I don't care what they'd like.

Well, they would be much better to take me to be laughed at because the star witness was killed right under.

The notice we can find out.

No, it's easier to be a rotten.

I'll give you my brother.

He is at my place.

How do you know?

I talked to him on the phone.

He said he'd wait there until he heard.

From me again.

Okay, I'll go over there, and I want you to come with me.

Why haven't I done enough?

Why don't I have to see him?

Come on, I don't want to lose you.

And Kay's nepper isn't there.

I'll do it.

Give me the key, Vivian answer, yes, Nippy, it's gonna work.

Nipan, it's gonna be it.

Who's he an insurance dick?

That's right, Nippy?

What are you doing here?

What'd you bring him?

He made me do it.

I asked to make a choice between giving herself after Madigan's killing or giving me you.

Nippy, put the gun away.

Nippy has done en.

It's what he says true.

He made me do it.

He will take me to the police.

You know what they would have done to me.

It's all right, Nippy, you can still work it out.

Wait for me.

She's wrong.

You couldn't work it out, but you may do yourself some good bye giving yourself up?

Why did you do this, Vivian?

Did you want to get rid of me?

Don't say that.

You don't have to let him do.

If you get rid of me, who's gonna take care of you?

Who's gonna find more Jack Madigans for to play with?

Nibby?

Don't who's gonna do the job for you when you get fed up and afraid to tear yourself loose.

You don't have to let him take it.

Nippy.

I know you could take care of it.

When he got here.

Is she worried that nippy?

That wouldn't be a chance to count me off to a gang killing.

You don't have to be afraid of him, I'm not.

Then take him and get away him.

I'm afraid of you.

You're going with me, Stay away from it.

If he stop fighting, I wouldn't hurt you will.

Don't let it, let it watch your don't try it.

Let's I should have let him take it.

Give me that police, where can I find?

Oh?

There you are?

True?

Good morning, mister.

I've read about it in the paper.

They're holding the girl, yeah, as accessory.

And I wouldn't advise your going a beil.

I certainly won't.

I've had trouble enough with this group.

You know you didn't make it easy to me with that phony description.

Yeah, yeah, I know that description.

It was given to me by Madigan's boys.

I should have checked it.

But don't worry.

A mistake like that won't happen again.

None of you are mistakes will happen to me again.

Huh.

You'll understand what I mean.
