'G' Men Page #4

- My brother mentioned you.

- Oh, yes. We're good friends.

- Didn't sound like that to me.

You mustn't mind him, he's a great kidder.

You know, you're looking better today.

- You've lost that purple angry look.

- I'm glad to hear it.

- I was worried about you.

- About me? Why?

Well, we can't discuss that here.

- Couldn't I see you this evening?

- No, I'm leaving for Chicago tonight.

Well, that's too bad.

Just what did you want

to talk to me about?

Why, I might like to have

a picture of you.

- Did you think I'd give you one?

- Wouldn't you?

- No.

- Well, I just thought I'd ask.

- Are you as nice to everybody you hate?

- Yes. And they don't get pictures.

Well, thanks for letting me have it.

- I said I wouldn't give you one.

- But you have.

Hey, Davis, telegram for you.

Oh, thanks.

- Mac!

- Brick, come on in.

Well, gee, I'm glad to see you.

- I'm glad to see you.

- Come on. Sit down.

What a surprise. Tell me,

what are you doing here?

Me? I'm heading west.

"Joseph Lynch" and "heading west"?

What...?

I didn't want anybody to connect you

with me, get you in a jam.

- Oh, yeah.

- Well, how you getting along?

Fine, fine. I just finished

my training course.

- Never mind about me, what are you doing?

- I'm in the hotel business.

- You, in the hotel business?

- Yeah.

- Thanks.

- I bought a summer place up in Wisconsin.

It's called Pinecrest.

Fishing, tourists...

- And mosquitoes.

- Yeah, mosquitoes. All that kind of thing.

- Well, what about New York?

- I sold everything out. I'm gonna forget it.

- And you threw the Mob overboard?

- Yep.

Well, I'm still looking for Leggett.

- Wanna tell me anything?

- You wouldn't want me to, would you?

No. Forget it.

You know, I can't play ball with either side.

I'm kind of sitting on top of the fence.

Swell place to spend a nice quiet life,

but rather dull.

- Yeah.

- What about Jean?

I don't know. She kind of dropped

out of sight after I closed the cabaret.

- I haven't seen her in months.

- I'd like to see her. A swell kid.

- Yeah.

- Board!

Well, that's me.

Guess I've gotta shove off.

I just wanted to tell you, if you get

out west, come look the place over.

- I'll give you a real blowout.

- Sold.

It's a date. I'm glad you let me know

you were passing through.

I just wanted to check on

how you're getting on.

- I'll see you sometime.

- You bet you will. I'll see to that.

- Bye, Mac.

- Goodbye.

- You send for me?

- Yes. Just making out a report on you.

Before I send it to Gregory, I want

the right answers to some questions.

- Riding me again?

- lf I am, it's for the last time.

You've been making a few slips,

I've been checking up on you.

- What are you trying to get away with?

- Nothing.

Then why did you falsify your

personal history in your entrance papers?

I didn't. There's not one false statement

in those papers.

They've been checked and passed.

You can't nail me on that, McCord.

I've told them everything.

Runaway from the orphanage, arrests for

vagrancy and fighting, law school, all of it.

All but the one thing you knew would

keep you out of here...

...and I've just uncovered it.

You've been hooked up with

a big bootleg outfit in New York.

The leader paid your way through

law school, undercover.

Set you up in law business. A very

smart way for a Mob to get a stool pigeon...

...in the Department of Justice.

- That's a lie.

- The same Mob that Leggett's in.

No wonder you could tell us

all you knew about him.

It didn't hurt McKay,

and it got you in here solid.

McKay had absolutely nothing to do

with my coming here.

And once more,

I've never worked for him!

I haven't seen him or been in contact

with him for months!

Well, until...

Go on.

Until you reported to him on

the 3:
45 train, drawing room A.

You've been under observation

for a week, Davis.

Well, I guess that takes care

of everything.

You can break me out of the service

with that.

Yeah.

That seems to be what you want.

You've been riding me for a long time...

...but I'll give you some straight answers.

- Go ahead.

- I'll tell you about McKay.

I was a gutter rat when he found me...

...and would probably still be one

if it hadn't been for him.

He gave me a chance to go straight,

do the right thing. I took it.

But he's never asked anything of me.

- Why did you join the department?

- Because of Buchanan.

Buchanan was my friend.

He was my roommate at college.

And I wanted to get the guy

who killed him.

McCord, I studied law

because I wanted to work for the law...

...and for no other reason.

Now, I've taken an awful lot from you

since I've been here...

...and you're the last man I'd ask anything

of unless it meant a great deal to me.

The service does.

Please don't kick me out.

- Thanks.

- Thanks, nothing!

Make one more fake pass,

and out you go for good!

- You know the ropes around here, huh?

- Yeah, I made some contacts.

- Collins come out with you?

- No, he'll join us in about a month.

- Any of the rest of the Mob come out?

- Six of them.

They got a hideout in Kansas City.

- I got one here in case you need it.

- Probably will.

We figured on staying around

for a while.

Thinking of opening up a bank.

Maybe a couple of them.

- Nice country around here.

- Yeah, I was thinking that myself.

Calling all cars. Attention, all cars.

Be on the lookout for

a man identified as Leggett...

...heading west on Highway 66.

You sure this is the place?

The second cabin.

He buy gardenia from me...

Yeah, yeah, sure. I know all about that.

Come on, boys.

- Tony, you stay here. All right.

- Yes, sir.

- Stick them up!

- Not this time, Leggett.

Come on, get up.

Move it.

Put your gun up, copper.

You're not gonna get hurt.

I wish I could use it on you,

I'd save the state a lot of money.

Come on, Leggett. Get into your coat.

Too bad you didn't have that on

when it happened.

Who told you about that?

Oh, a friend of mine.

Come on, get going.

- They've got Danny.

- Wait a minute. There's too many of them.

We'd better get the Mob. Go on, scram.

I don't know anything about it.

- You killed Buchanan.

- You're crazy.

You used the same gun to kill

that bank guard.

Oh, save your breath.

You'll talk when you get inside

that jail.

- You won't keep me in any jail.

- No? We'll see.

Yeah. We'll see.

- Paper!

- Tonight's final!

- Paper here!

- Tonight's final!

- Hello, chief.

- How are you?

- Car ready, Al?

- We've got two of them.

Okay. Let's go.

Paper. Paper. Tonight's final.

Get readied up. They're here.

Come on, let's go.

Up, coppers, up!

Leggett! The car's across the street!

Scram!

The state police cannot combat

these criminals.

Neither can city police.

The law prohibits them from pursuing

criminals across the state line.

With the automobile and airplane...

...these gangs can get

from state to state in a few hours.

The Department of Justice

is handicapped.

When Hugh Farrell died

in that slaughter...
