'G' Men Page #7

Synopsis: It's the early days of the F.B.I. - federal agents working for the Department of Justice. Though they've got limited powers - they don't carry weapons and have to get local police approval for arrests - that doesn't stop fresh Law School grad Eddie Buchanan from joining up, and he encourages his former roommate James "Brick" Davis (James Cagney) to do so as well. But Davis wants to be an honest lawyer, not a shyster, despite his ties to mobster boss McKay, and he's intent on doing so, until Buchanan is gunned down trying to arrest career criminal Danny Leggett. Davis soon joins the "G-Men" as they hunt down Leggett (soon-to-be Public Enemy Number One) and his cronies Collins and Durfee, who are engaged in a crime and murder spree from New York to the midwest.

No.

I wondered.

- Are you all right?

- Oh, yes, I'm fine.

Well, I won't intrude any longer.

- Good night, Miss Morgan.

- Good night.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Well, I think I better go

and let you get some sleep.

All right, Jean.

Don't go back to that apartment.

- You can't afford to take any chances.

- It was swell of you to try to help me, Brick.

- I was a little bit late.

- Yes, but it makes things different.

I used to think that at least

I owed loyalty to Brad...

...but I realize now

I don't owe him anything.

He's done enough harm

without doing any more.

Wait a minute. What do you mean?

- I think I know where to find him.

- No, don't try it. Stay away from him!

Good night, Brick.

- Got the guns?

- He'll have them in the shop.

You can get them at 2:00.

You'll need them.

McCord and his G-men are

knocking every place in town.

- They're gunning for you.

- They are?

They'll make somebody talk.

When they do, they'll be down here quick.

- You better duck for Canada.

- Yeah.

- They'll blockade the roads.

- Don't worry about that.

I got a way of making McCord

call off his dogs. Open that door.

Want me to phone if Mr. Davis

starts running a temperature?

You stay away from him.

He'll be better with the doctor.

- Thanks. Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

Miss McCord.

- Yes?

- Get in that sedan.

Get in that sedan.

Yeah, this is Collins. And you can tell

McCord to get all patrols off the highways.

I've got his sister! And if they try

to stop me, I'll dump her into their laps.

And she won't be talking.

Calling car 121. Car 121.

Urgent. To Special Agent McCord.

Special Agent McCord.

Collins has kidnapped your sister.

Threatens to kill her

if attempt made to capture.

Don't get impatient, baby.

He won't be gone long.

Oh, hiya, Mrs. Collins. Come on in.

- I'm looking for Brad. Have you seen him?

- Yeah, he was here.

He'll be back pretty soon.

Say, you sure were lucky getting out

just before the cops jumped him.

- He told you?

- Yeah.

Close, wasn't it?

- Who's the dame?

- That? That's the G-guy's sister.

They got the heat on Brad,

but they'll lay off...

...when they find out

he's liable to bump this chicken.

- Lose all your guns at the lodge?

- Yeah.

Well, it was a good hideout.

Too bad the cops got hold of your wife.

- What are you talking about?

- Didn't you know?

- No, I didn't.

- Why, it's a cinch she spilled it.

They had her at government headquarters

the morning before they raided you.

Thanks.

What's the idea of leaving?

He's coming soon.

I know. I'll be right back.

I wanna get a few things.

- I'm going with him.

- That's up to you.

Oh, hello there, good-looking.

- Your wife was just here.

- When?

She just left a few minutes ago.

- She see the dame?

- Sure. She said she's going with you.

She's gonna rat to the cops.

Which way did she go?

Well, that way.

Wait!

Come on back, they'll get you!

You got time to get away!

You can't make it!

- Did a dame go by here?

- One just went in the lunchroom.

Hello, General Hospital?

Brick Davis, please. Hurry.

- Hello, Brick? Jean. I found him.

- At it again, huh?

Police!

Operator, where's that receiver down?

Wait a minute, Mr. Davis.

You can't get up yet.

- You can't get up yet!

- Shut up and get my clothes!

Look here, Mr. Davis.

You can't leave here.

There she is, in there.

- Special agent.

- Yes, sir.

- How is she?

- I don't think she has a chance.

Jean.

Jean.

Brick.

You've got to get there. Garage.

809 Allen Street.

Brad's got the McCord girl in his car.

Collins has Kay?

He's gonna try to get to Canada.

You've got to get there first.

I wouldn't make her talk too much.

I'll see you later.

I won't be around.

Sure you will.

Say...

...there's no rule that says a G-man...

...can't kiss an old friend goodbye,

is there?

Hello, police headquarters?

Special Agent Davis speaking.

Yeah, I've located Collins.

In a garage, 809 Allen Street.

809. Yeah, send cars.

He's holding Chief McCord's sister.

I'm going there now. Hurry!

Calling all cars, Division Six.

All cars, Division Six.

Collins located, 809 Allen Street.

809 Allen Street. A garage.

- Come on, step on it!

- Better give them time to clear the roads.

Down.

Come on, copper.

Are you gonna let her have it...

...or am I? Come on, copper!

Come on out and get it.

- You all right?

- Did you get him?

- Yeah, where's Kay?

- Inside.

- Is she all right?

- She's all right.

- Did they get him?

- Yes, with a machine gun.

- He crashed into a building down the street.

- Kay.

- Are you okay, kid?

- I'm all right. But where's Brick?

Oh, Jeff, he was wonderful.

- Thanks, Davis.

- A pleasure.

Don't you think you better be

getting back to the hospital?

Yeah, I guess that's a good idea.

- I'm going with him.

- Take good care of him, sis.

He's a great guy.

Shall I tell him you said so?

Yeah.

- How you feeling, Brick?

- Fine.

- Take care of yourself, Brick.

- Thanks.

I'm going over to get the car.

I'm gonna handle your case personally.

It's gonna be nice

having a nurse in the family.
