"Listen, can you keep the meter running?" " I'll be about five minutes." " Can do." " Here you go." " Hey, thanks, man." "Katie, thanks for pinch-hitting today." "Must be the flu." "The girls are dropping like flies." "No kidding, though." "You really bailed me out." "If you had any class, you'd take me to lunch." "Well, it's tough to get too classy when you got a wife and three kids." " How about Dutch at the deli?" " You're on." "You sure that guy you've been seeing won't get bent out of shape if he finds out?" "He'd better." "Freeze." "Turn around." "Turn around." "Move." "You." "Stay put." "Anybody else moves, they're dead." "You." "Fill it up." "Just the bills." "Best you tellers move away from those windows." "Come on, lady, move faster." "You, by the door, duck squat." "You heard me, duck squat." "That's fine there, lady, move to the next drawer." "Come on, move." "Hey, man, this stuff is unreal, you know?" "Hey, Tonto, you gonna buy something or stand around with your mouth flapping all day?" "Oh, come on, man." "Don't pull no numbers on me." "I'm just waiting for my gig, you dig?" "Well, wait in your hack, all right?" "This ain't the public library." "Okay, man." "Okay." "Don't get hassled." " Hey, let's go, old buddy." " Right away, sir." "And the woman, the one that was hit?" "Kate Evans." "She was right over here." "Over there behind that desk." "She started to get up and she started to move toward him, and" "Who moved towards him?" "Miss Evans." "Kate Evans." "I guess the guy thought she was going to scream or something." "He hit her so hard." "Mr. Davis, let me ask, is it normal for a branch bank like this to be carrying a hundred thousand on hand?" "No, that's just the point." "Never." "Except on Thursday." "More of a courtesy than anything else." "Just to cash the payroll cheques for our customers." "Who knows about that?" "Anybody who banks here, I suppose." "Or works here." "Well, I don't quite understand that kind of a comment, inspector." "Are you suggesting that one of our employees is involved in this?" " Mike?" " Check it out." " Excuse me." " Mr. Davis." "You said the man had a green topcoat and he put the money in a brown leather case." "You didn't see his face, you didn't see his hands." "Tell me." "What did you notice?" "Did you notice the way he spoke?" " Did he have an accent?" " Accent?" "No." "Use any funny phrases?" " I don't really think it was important." " Go on." "Go on." "It might be." "Well, he said something I hadn't heard since basic training." " What was that?" " "Duck squat."" "There was a customer over here trying to slip out, and he told him to duck squat." "Duck squat, huh?" "Okay." "Now, you say he came in through that side door." " And how did he go out?" " The same." "The side." "All right, Mr. Davis." "Thank you very much." "We'll keep in touch." "Climb on the horn to headquarters." "Have them go through the bank-robbery files." "And ask them if the phrase "duck squat" has been used in any job in the last couple of years." "Yes, operator." "I understand." "Yes, I have some change coming." "How much is it?" "Fifteen cents?" "Well, that's not necessary but it's very sweet of you." "Yes, my name is Katherine Evans and you can mail it to 3217 Union Street." "Yes." "Thank you very much." "Miss Evans?" "I'm sorry." "My name is Steven Keller." "I'm an inspector with the police department." "If you're feeling up to it, I have couple of questions I'd like to ask you." "I was listening to the radio." "And they said that the security guard had been killed." "Is that so?" "Yes." "Did you recognise the gunman?" " No." " You're sure?" "Yes." "Why?" "Well, why did you move towards him during the robbery?" " Did I?" " Yes." "Yes." "Yes, I suppose I did." "No." "No, I don't have any explanation for that except the doctors say I probably sustained some kind of shock." "But you moved towards him before you were hit, ma'am." "I'm sorry." "This" "This really is not my finest hour." "Maybe we can continue these questions later." "Just have a couple more questions." "You don't give up easily, do you?" "A man's dead." "I don't really see how I can." " Thank you." " You're welcome." "So you think the market has really bottomed out, eh, Dean?" "Daddy." "Oh, I'm sorry, dear." "I'm just trying to pump your young man to see if I can get a few tips to pass on to those who seem to be systematically destroying my portfolio." "Lindsay tells me you've turned a profit yourself these last few days." " Well" " Daddy, you're about as subtle as a sledgehammer." "What he's really asking you is if you can support me in the style I'm accustomed to." "And the answer is yes." "Now that that's finally off your chest, can I get my partner out on the court, please?" "Oh, I thought we might have one drink together." "Sorry about that." "He still needs some work on his backhand before he's perfect." " Hello, Johnny." " Hey, Mike." "How you hitting them?" "Oh, not bad." "Not good, but not bad." "You know how it is." "Listen." "Did you see anything out here during that trouble at the bank?" "Sorry, Mike." "I didn't know anything was going on till the first black and white blew in." "You didn't see anything at all during that time?" "A guy with a-- Oh, a topcoat and a briefcase?" "Oh, come on, Mike." "Look around." "How many topcoats and briefcases go by here in a day?" "Look." "I'm not talking about all day." "I'm talking about ten minutes." "Fifteen minutes at the most." "Now, he hit that bank at 1:00." "He was out in five minutes." "That put him on the street around five minutes before 1 and five minutes after." "He had on a green coat and he was carrying a brown leather case." "So don't you give me any of that everybody-looks-alike-out-here jazz." "You really want him bad, don't you?" "That mean he cashed somebody?" "Security guard." "Old Charlie Bates?" "Oh, no." "Why, I've been selling to him for" "Oh, why a nice old guy like that?" "Come on, come on, Johnny, think." "One o'clock." "I don't know, Mike." "Yeah, yeah." "Wait a minute." "Maybe" " What?" " There was a guy." "Came out of the hotel just before the black and white rolled in." "And he had a briefcase." "But I couldn't swear about brown." " He came out of the hotel?" " Yeah." "Sure, that figures." "He could have ducked in the back and come out here." "Was he alone or was somebody waiting for him?" "How did you happen to pick him out?" "The cabby." "He kept bugging me." "A real weirdo." "You know, long hair." "A real loose end." " Cabby, huh?" " Yeah." "The cab was waiting for him with the motor running." "Could've pulled into traffic as though nothing had happened?" " Right." " Name of the cab company?" " Let's see." "Golden Gate, I think." " Golden Gate?" "They got a lot of those ding-dongs driving for them." "Yeah, they have." "Anything else?" "No." "But, Mike, that's not to say he was your man." "Maybe not." "But it's a start, Johnny, it's a doggone good start." " No way." "Thanks a lot." " Come on, take it." "Please." "Just nail the crumb." "For old Charlie." "Hi, love." "What you doing?" "Hey." "What happened to you?" "Didn't you get my message?" " What message?" " I called your office from the hospital." "Hospital?" "Darling, what happened?" "The bank was robbed." "You're kidding." "But wait a minute, you weren't there, were you?" "You were supposed to be off today." "One of the girls was sick." "Tom Davis called me to fill in." "Darling, I can't believe it." "Are you all right?" "How did you get hurt?" "He" "The man hit me." "Oh, no." "I'm all right." "He killed a guard, though." "Oh, my God." "Oh, you" "You poor darling." "You've been through all that?" "Well, are you sure you're all right?" "Listen, I'm gonna get ahold of Frank Kamer." "Have him take a look at you and run some tests." "Dean, I just came from the hospital." "Well, who saw you there?" "Some intern just out of med school?" "Listen, darling, you deserve the best and Frank Kamer's the best." "You still look a little shaky to me." "I don't need another doctor." "I don't need another doctor." "I just need you to hold me." "Just hold me." "Just please hold me." "All right, babe." " It's okay." " Just hold me." " What is this?" "A power shortage?" " No." "A film festival." " Film festival." " Yeah." "Hey, you got that developed pretty fast, buddy boy." "Yeah." "The lab needed the overtime." "There." "Right there." " What?" " She knew him." "I'm sure of it." "Or thought she did." "There's a big difference, buddy boy." "Hey, you guys wanna give us a little light around here?" "Yeah, Bill, sorry." "Even when I talked to her, I knew she was holding something back." " Well, run a make on her." " Got RI on it." "Good, what about the taxi?" " No word yet." " Well, jump on them again." "Tell them we want it now, not next week." " Mike?" " Yeah." "Duck squat." "That phrase match you asked for?" "Turned up a guy with two priors." "Both armed robbery and both branch banks." "He used the same expression?" " He did the last time out." " Come on." "Bill, push those guys for that taxi information." " Check this number out, will you?" " Okay." "Thank you." "Poor Pretty Boy." "Still don't feel well, do you?" " Morning." " Good morning." " How you feel?" " Like a new woman." "Nothing wrong with the old one, if you ask me." "Hey, you're up early this morning." "Where you off to?" "Just thought I'd go out and get a breath of fresh air." "Nothing special." "You give me a chance to get dressed, I'll go with you." "You have to play golf with some clients." "So?" "I can cancel." "Don't be silly." " You sure?" " Positive." "To be continued." "I'm gonna hold you to that." " Have a good morning." " You too, hon." "If I just scored a hundred thou," "I don't think I'd return here for anything." "Anybody ever tell you you'd make a lousy crook?" "You think being a cop was my first choice?" " Check the back." " Right." " Yeah?" " Taylor?" "Binx Taylor?" " Who wants to know?" " Police." "Steve!" " Okay, man." " All right, on the wall." "Let's go." "What are you doing?" "I'm clean." "You got no business hassling me." "What do you know about the Bay National Bank?" " The what?" " The bank, man, the bank." " I don't know nothing about no bank." " All right, Taylor, duck squat." " What?" " You heard me, man." "Duck squat." "Put your hands behind your neck." "Lose something, Taylor?" "So you know I gotta fly to Denver tonight to see a client." "You know, sometimes I get the feeling you've got another girl hidden away." "You should see someone about your fantasies, dear." "Anybody in particular?" " You couldn't afford the price." " We'd work it out." " Call you tonight, love." " Okay." " Bye-bye." " Bye-bye." " Kate." "Please." " Get away from me." " No, listen to me." "Please." " You hurt me." "No, darling, I can explain." " Let go of me." " No, please listen to me." "Darling, she's a client." "A client, nothing more." "It's an account I need." "I swear to God." "Nothing more." "What did you need me for?" "The bank?" "Don't do it, Katie." "Please." "Not till we can talk." "You don't know what happened or why it happened." "Darling, I did it for us." "Everything was for us." "I love you, Katie." "Please." "I love you." "Would you turn around, please?" "Turn around." "Now, you mind telling me what that was all about?" "It was my fault, officer." "He was just trying to keep me from doing something foolish." "I don't deserve you, darling." "I really don't." "I destroyed everything we had together." "How can I expect you to understand why I had to do it?" "I understood." "You told me and I understood." "You say you do because you're beautiful." "Really beautiful." "You know, I was scared back there." "Terrified." "I can't allow that fear to involve you in what I did." "I should've told that cop right then but I couldn't." "I think I can now." "I just had to tell you first." "No." "You took that money to cover what you stole from the firm." "Now that you've put it back, nobody knows." "And nobody knows about the bank but me." "I have to do it, darling." "I can't live with myself anymore." " I have to get it over with." " Listen to me." "That security guard died." "I know you didn't mean for him to but he did." "That means a life sentence." "Even with parole." "Dean, I'm not young anymore." "By the time you're free" "I love you." "Don't ask me how or why." "I just do." "I love you and I need you now." "Okay." "Okay." "Well, what about the stash?" "Well, you bet I saw him throw it and I saw him belt my partner to get a chance to do it." "Well, you just give us the dates and we'll both be there." "Scratch Taylor." "He's got an alibi." "He was in court all day yesterday trying to beat an assault rap." "Well, I guess we knew that when we nailed him." "Listen, you got something smaller for a buck?" "Did you look in the kitty?" " Yeah, but there's not enough." " Put in an IOU." "Oh, come on." "Come on, now." "A dime." "You gotta have a dime." "How come I always gotta have a dime when you never do?" "What do you mean, never do?" "If I kept track of how much money I put for your coffee habit," "I'd have a week's pay by now." "Okay, buddy boy." "What's chewing on you?" "I don't know." "I guess it's" "It's that bank guard." "Just about to retire." "Also all these dead ends." "I just got this from RI." "So that's it, huh?" "Pride?" "Now wait a minute." "Wait just one minute." "Now, before you get the old needle in too far, remember you're the man that told me to listen to my gut as well as my head." "And my gut tells me that woman's covering up." "There's nothing she had to cover on a record like this." "Not even a parking ticket." "No debts." "A-one credit." "Same address for the past 17 years." "Same phone number, same job, there's no passport." "That means she didn't do any travelling." " Right." " Lifestyle hasn't changed any." "Nothing here that sounds like she jumped into the middle of a bank." "I got nothing." "All I got is what I feel and what I saw in that film." "A picture of a woman walking towards a man with a gun." "She's as straight as could be, but tell me she's gonna talk that dude into backing out the same way he came in or something?" "What was she doing?" " You tell me." " I don't know, Mike." "But I wanna find out." "Put a team on her and have her staked out." "Hold it." "Hold it right there." "Now, wait a minute." "Maybe I did tell you some time or other to play your hunches." "But you do know, don't you, that somebody has to pay for them." "Right?" "Now, what do you think we'd look like asking for a stakeout on information like this?" " Oh, Mike?" " Yeah." " I found your cabby." " Oh, good." " Here's that number." " Thanks." "What number?" "Just a hunch." "I'm not leaving myself open yet." "Miss Evans, is it?" "Yes." "And you're a friend of Dean's?" "Yes." "Quite a good friend." "Sorry." "I don't remember his mentioning you." "No, I'm sure he never did." "Is there something I can do for you?" " Did he give you that?" " What?" "The ring." "Yes." " I'm sorry." "I guess I" " And you gave him the bracelet?" " Yes." " The gold bracelet." "He's been wearing it the last three months." "Is that when you became engaged?" "Yes." "Forgive me, Miss Evans." "But I don't" "Miss Campbell, you asked me a question that I didn't answer." "Yes, there's something you can do for me." "And for yourself." "You can give him up." "What did you say?" "You can give him up." "He's not for you and you're not for him." "He's a cripple." "He's a strange, confused boy, really." "And he's trying so hard to" "Who are you?" "Have you wondered about times when he couldn't be with you?" "When he had to be somewhere else?" "I'm it." "The business meetings." "The trips out of town, the late-night work, the golf games with clients." "You and Dean?" "I'm sorry." "I just don't believe it." "I know." "I didn't believe it either, Miss Campbell, until I found out that you were all those things." "So whether you admit it or not, Miss Campbell, we have a great deal in common." "The only difference is you could never forgive Dean." "And I can." "I lost my pride a long time ago." "I'll be 41 years old before this year is over." " And before my life is over, I want" " Get out." "Get out." "Yeah, yeah." "Real smooth dude." "Yeah." "Figured he was doing all right in one of those places." "Laid a 5 on me when I took him back." "Where you picked him up and dropped him off?" "Yeah, you know, stocks and bonds." "Stuff like that." "You know, a cat could make a real nice little stash if you like that kind of hassle." " What's the address?" " Oh, no address." "Just a corner." "Same one I picked him up at." " What corner was that?" " Montgomery and Bush." " Well?" " It's terrific, huh?" "Just great." "Right in the middle of money market." "You know, it would take-- Oh, at least five yea" " Oh, no." "Ten years to canvass all these offices here." "Give me a dollar, will you?" "What do you want with a dollar?" "Gotta make a phone call and you took my last dime." "Hi." "Okay." "Okay, what's the deal?" "Same prefix." "This could be the best dime you ever spend in your life." "Well, it's a dime to you, but it's a buck to me and I still don't have any idea what it's going to buy." "When I went to the hospital to see Kate Evans, she was on a payphone." "Well, she must've put a quarter in on a dime call." "The operator was gonna give her her money back, you know how they do?" "Anyway, I didn't think much of it then, but later on it hit me." " What hit you?" " Who was she calling?" "They keep records of things like that." "I had Tanner check it out and he gave me this" "Could you repeat that, please?" "Thank you very much." "The way you describe him, it just has to be Mr. Knox." "He's as well-known around here for his wardrobe as his knowledge of Wall Street." "We certainly appreciate what you're doing for us." "Not at all." "That's his office straight ahead." " Do you happen to know who she is?" " His fiancée, I think." "Or maybe it was." " Steve." " Got it." "Well, thank you very much." "I'll announce myself." "Yes, Katherine Evans is one of my clients." "Small investments, of course." "I mean, nothing more than ten shares at a time." "But I don't follow, lieutenant." "Are you trying to tell me you suspect Miss Evans of being involved in this?" "Well, you do know she works at that bank." "Yes." "I mean, no." "I mean, I didn't know that she worked in that bank." "I knew she worked at a bank somewhere." "But like I said, she's not a very large investor." "Just thought, being her broker and all, you might know if she had any money troubles." "Well, I wish I could help you, sir." "But as far as I'm aware, Miss Evans has no financial problems at all." "None." "That's good enough for me." "Say, I appreciate your time." "Not at all." "Say," "I suppose in your business, a lot of clowns come to you and ask you for..." "But if you did have a few beans laying around and you'd like to see them grow a little?" "Right." "We're getting a lot of action recently from National Wheel and Brake." "National Wheel and Brake?" "Right." "Gone up seven points this week already." "Seven points." "And I suspect it's gonna hit another 15 to 20 before it starts to peak." "National Wheel and Brake." "Right." "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "There it is." "Reverse it." "Move in on his wrist." "Hold it right there." "I knew it." "I knew I'd seen it before." "Turn it off." "Bet Kate Evans recognised it too." "I'll bet she gave it to him." "I don't know." "That looked pretty expensive." "That looked more like that-- That Campbell girl's style, you know?" "Finally found a way to join it." "Yep." " Do we wanna bring him in?" " Oh, no." "No, not yet." "The DA would laugh us right out of the office." "You know, the mask that he had on there is nothing compared to the one that he put on for me." "Mr. Innocence." "I'll bet you if they gave him a lie-detector test he wouldn't even wiggle the needle." "We gotta find something to lock him up good." "Something solid." "How about your lady, buddy boy?" "Think we can crack her?" "Yeah." "I think so." "If she knows, yeah." "She knows." "The question is, does she know too much for her own good?" " Happy?" " You know I am." " You didn't tell anybody, did you?" " You said not to." "You're sure you wanna stick with me?" "You know that too." "Your last chance to bail out." " Miss Evans?" " She ain't here." " Do you know where she is?" " Vacation." "Well, where?" "I don't know." "Ma'am, it's very important." "They wanted to be by themselves." "They?" "Her boyfriend." "Say, is she in any kind of trouble or anything?" "She could be unless we find her, yes." "I promised not to tell anyone." "But, well, she left Pretty Boy with me." "The bird." "He's been sick with pneumonia." "It's a big responsibility." "What do I know from birds?" "Anyway, she told me if anything happened to him," "I could reach her at Pine Wood Lodge." "That's Marin County." "And plenty private." "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "What are you smiling about?" "It's gonna be a beautiful sunset." "You're an incorrigible romantic, dear." "I know." "I am." "I had to invent most of my life." "I must've been the loneliest person in the world till I met you." "Now how'd I get into that?" "Let's go down to the point and watch the sunset." "I'm delighted you're so overwhelmed with my suggestion." "It's not that." "It's just that" "I've always had this thing about heights." "Of course, darling." "I'm sorry, I forgot." "It's silly, I know." "I mean, you'd think after all these years," "I would have worked it out." "Not to worry." "We'll think of something else." "No, if you wanna go to the point to watch the sun set, let's go to the point and watch the sun set." "Okay." " You the boys from the city?" " You find them?" "Nobody registered here under the names you radioed in." " What about the descriptions?" " The guy at the desk says a couple checked in a little earlier." "He didn't see him." "His wife gave them the key while he was having lunch." " Check the unit?" " Nobody there." "Car's still here, though." "What about the trail?" "Thought the best I could do till you got here was keep my eye on the car." "Stay with it." "Come on." "You're right." "It's beautiful." "Come here, love." "No." "Not yet." "Dean?" " What?" " I have a confession to make." "Oh, really?" "I talked to Lindsay Campbell." "Yeah, I know." "You didn't have to do that, Kate." "You didn't have to lie to me either." "I would have understood." "I understood the moment I saw her." "She's young and wealthy and beautiful and all the things a man like you really wants." "All the things I'm not." "How could you understand?" "I mean, what do you really know about me, Kate?" "I know you brought me up here to kill me." "You believe that and you still came?" "I had to." "Am I wrong?" "You know, Kate, when you first started to work at that bank," "I was still in high school fighting for tips at the country club." "Parking cars, carrying golf bags, cleaning out the locker rooms." "Watching the beautiful people glide in and out like they owned the world." "And you know what?" "They did." "At least the world I wanted to belong to." "Do you have any understanding of what I'm trying to say?" "No." "No, none at all." "All you ever wanted was a man, right?" "Just a man, any man." "You used me." "You used me to find out when the bank was the most vulnerable." "And it worked, didn't it?" "Because you knew I was vulnerable." "I've always been curious, Kate." "Did you ever think I could love you?" "I mean, didn't it ever occur to you that you and I don't even breathe the same air?" "It doesn't matter." "I do want you to know that I didn't plan for any of this to happen." "For you to die, I mean." "Come on, Kate." "I loved you very much and you betrayed me." "I loved you so much." "Kate." "But you've never suffered." "You have never suffered the way you made me suffer." "You've never suffered the way you made me suffer." "And you're evil, Dean." "You're evil!" "Come on, take him." "Help!" "Dean!" "Please help!" "Your choice." "Are you all right?" "I don't know." "I guess I won't know for a very long time." " Thank you." " Thank you." "Hey, Mike, how's it going?" " Give me a paper." " Here you are." " No game yesterday." " I know that." "What do you think, I only read the box scores?" "What is this with the Financial section?" "Here we go, over the counter." " What's over the counter?" " National Wheel and Brake." "Now, wait a minute." "Is that that stock Knox turned you on to?" "Oh, here it is." "Now, let's see." "Why, that no good, chiselling, lousy bum." " Did you put your savings into it?" " No, I didn't put my savings into it." "But for the first time in his life, he was telling the truth." " Up 21 points." " Serves you right." "Serves me right?" "What do you mean, serves me right?" "Do you know what it means, up 21 points?" "Do you know what a fella could do with that kind of dough?" "Up 21 points."
