711 Ocean Drive Page #10

In the stretch,

It's number 2 by a length,

number 6 by a head,

and number 8 is running third.

Here are the winners at California,

Number 2 wins it by three lengths.

Number 6 is second.

And number 8 is third.

It's OK in California in the eighth.

That's number 9 Milargo,

number 1 Zapata,

and number 3 Thirador.

That's 9, 1, and 3.

Pardon me.

You hit us pretty hard.

I'm afraid we haven't got this kind

of money on hand.

Would you mind taking a check?

You can cash it

at the bank when it opens

in the morning.

I guess it'll be all right.

I'll get it right away.

Here you are, Chippie.

The hotel paid Gail off in cash.

Did you get rid of those

lines on the roof?

You wouldn't know anybody was up

there. Not even a cigarette butt on it.

All we got to do is cash Chippie's check

in the morning and then, darling...

We're retired.

I'm afraid.

Between the police and Carl.

-It's all over.

We're going to sink without a trace.

We just lie low at the Boulder Inn

for a couple of weeks and then

we're off to Guatemala.

Maybe you will but how about me?

If they start looking,

Vegas will give them all the answers.

Let's not borrow trouble.

There's only one road out. If they

check the railroads and the airlines...

Chippie...

Just in case of a tie,

I got a place all picked out.

That's him all right.

He didn't say his name was Granger.

He brought in a Cadillac

with a marked up fender.

I rubbed it down and airbrushed it

while he waited.

Made it look good as new.

And the paint was identical with

the sample we showed you?

Yeah, Cadillac green.

Thanks. That's all we need.

Let's pick up Granger.

Nobody else has been able to tell me

how my books

were hit for a quarter of a million

dollars in one day, Healy.

What makes you think you can?

-Nothing maybe.

But the day it happened, I saw

Chippie Evans cashing a wad.

And Mal Granger was in town too.

I saw him.

Go on.

I just figured they went down

for the weekend.

When I heard what happened...

You'll figure it out for yourself.

Now it adds up.

Only one man in the world would know

how to past post up here.

Mal Granger.

Now I'm sure of a lot of things.

Larry's death.

Mrs. Mason was with him.

You've done us a favor, Healy.

When I get back to L.A.,

I'll see that you're set up

with a new book.

Thanks.

If you could just tell us

where Granger is staying.

He's not here now.

He wouldn't take a chance on getting

cut off in a place like this.

That's why you'll never be anything

but a bookmaker, Healy.

Mal Granger's too smart to run.

He'd stay right here expecting us

to be searching the country for him.

We heard about an hour ago

that the police

were down at his place in Malibu

looking for him for Gizzi's murder.

Operator, will you get me

the L.A. police department.

I want to talk to Lieutenant Pete Wright

of the gangster squad.

Guatemala here we come. Nothing in the

papers about us. We're in the clear.

How are you darling? You still love me?

I'll love you more in Guatemala.

-That's my girl.

Come on, Chippie.

We got to go to Las Vegas

to get the check cashed.

That's kind of taking chances, ain't it?

Not like trying to cash it

in another town

and waiting for the check to clear.

You get a cab out of here and go

straight to the bank in Las Vegas

and keep the cab waiting, see?

-Sure.

All right, come on. Let's get going.

Come on, come on.

A hundred thousand dollars.

Where's the rest of it, Evans?

I don't know.

Boulder Inn.

So that's where our little boyfriend is.

Isn't it?

Stop it! You know I can't stand that.

Besides that's...

Peterson's department.

I told you I don't know anything.

He's at the inn all right.

Should we get him?

No, let him stay there for now.

Our friends the police are out.

What are you going to do with me?

Evans, I admire loyalty

but not to the wrong people.

You will go with Peterson, please.

You better get down to the airport.

You'll miss Lieutenant Wright.

You're the one who called him.

He'll be expecting you.

A policeman?

I wouldn't be bothered.

You take care of it.

I'll join you later.

Hi, Pete.

What's that you called me?

-He meant Mr. Rush.

That's better.

Where's Stevens?

You know how it is. He doesn't like to

get involved in anything unpleasant.

Oh, sure. He wants to keep

his lily white hands clean.

Sheriff Steele.

Howdy, sheriff. Always glad to

help an officer.

Why don't you stop marching?

And get this through your head.

The only reason I'm here cleaning up

your dirty laundry

is because we want Granger badly.

There's no reason for that attitude.

My attitude toward you

is one of complete disgust.

We're clean. Our wire service

is perfectly legitimate.

So are your banks and music businesses.

But what about all your sidelines?

You want me to go into them?

What's that got to do with Granger? You

came up here to get him, didn't you?

Sure. But someday,

we're going to get all of you.

When the public gets wise

to your stinking mess.

Now where's Granger?

Boulder Inn.

We can be there in about

35 minutes. I've got a car waiting.

Well, that settles Granger.

I think we handled things very well.

My bags here?

-Got them checked.

Good.

Steve, I'm putting you

in charge out here.

I promised my children I'd go back east

on the farm with them for a while.

Anything important I can be reached

through the usual source.

Mal?

Something's happened to Chippie.

I think we better go find him.

The inn's about ten miles from here.

Not far from the dam.

That's Granger. Turn around.

Must be Wright.

He's turning around.

We better head for Boulder Dam.

Once we're across the dam,

we're in Arizona.

We'll never make it into Vegas now.

Car number 1 calling government

rangers at Boulder Dam.

Green Cadillac convertible

California license number, 9 Young 8

9 Young 8 014

014 headed toward dam.

This man wanted for murder.

Throw up roadblock. Over.

Kelly, Bates you handle the other side.

Get him if he tries to come over.

OK Hey what's the matter? It's a holdup.

Mal, it's too late.

They've blocked it off.

It's never too late, darling, come on.

The next tour of the dam

will leave in five minutes.

The next tour of the dam

will leave immediately.

No smoking on the elevator.

Wright, L.A. police.

Their car's parked up there.

Did you see anyone

who fits his description?

No, I didn't see them.

The only way he could have got through

is in the crowd.

Want to come with us, captain,

we'll check the other end,.

We're now descending

in the elevator 528 feet.

One tenth of a mile or equal to the

height of a 44 story office building.

As we step from the elevator,

We still have 199 feet of it

down below us.

Kelly, have you seen Granger

and the girl?

Nope, no one's got through here.

They must have ducked into the dam.

-Let's check.

Right this way, please.

Follow me. Watch your step.

At this point,

we're now standing

in a portion of the dam

that's 457 feet thick.

It's 107 feet
