and a pot of hot herb tea.

If there's anything we can

do for your pleasure?

Jana is a nice girl.

I don't sleep with whores.

That's not knowingly.

Well... like they say

"Different strokes for

different folks"

Come on, Jana.

Hey, mama?

Have you seen Charley Varrick?

I've been reading your newspaper about

that awful robbery.

Have you seen Charley Varrick?

Well, he left early, in the truck.

Looking for that wife

of his, if you ask me.

Sh*t!

Varrick?!

I'm over here in Reese.

Trying to run down a fitting.

Fitting?

Yeah, for the auxiliary gas tank

we talked about it last night.

Don't you remember?

Well anyway, I understand there's a guy over in

Shoemaker's who got one, I'm going over there.

How's your tooth?

The hell with my tooth. Where's the

goddamn money Charley? I can't find it.

Don't worry. It's in a safe place.

I couldn't leave it there with you

cocked out, dead to the world? Could I?

Have you seen the papers?

Yeah, got a copy right here.

This picture of Al bothers me.

It's not that good but somebody

might just pick up on it.

You better stay there,

in case I need you fast.

I can't go very far.

You gonna tell me what

you did with the money?

Not over the phone.

Listen I got a million

things to do.

There's another pint in the cupboard.

Stay put and I'll see you tonight.

You better man!

Hi, are you Tom?

Yeah.

Oh I mentioned to Al Dutcher

that I might need a

special kind of a

favor someday and...

He uh... he said you had connections.

Al Dutcher?

Ahh... small, thin, kinda nice little bird?

No. Tall, husky, ugly looking bird.

What do you want?

I need some paper, quick.

I don't sell paper. I make

my living selling guns.

I need two passports. Al said

if you didn't handle something..

you'd know somebody who did.

Dutcher... Dutcher...

And where am I supposed

to know this guy from?

From Joliet, he was doing a

10 years slide for murder too.

His girlfriend, Armenian girl.

Sit down, make yourself comfortable.

Five bills.

Five bills? Isn't that a little high?

This one's six. Want bargain?

Buy yourself a rug.

Ok, Ok.

- $600

- Right.

Two, three, four, five...

Yeah, even money.

There is the little beauty.

"190.."

- How you say that... Ara...?

- Arapahoe.

- "Arapahoe Street".

- Yeah.

- About a half mile down, turn to the right.

- Thank you very much.

Oh, uh...

Anything else?

There might be something else.

What if I wanna fence

off some money?

- Hot?

- Burning up.

Consecutive serial numbers?

No, nothing like that but uh...

I wouldn't be surprised if

there was some sort of a record.

How much money are we talking about?

- A lot.

- A whole lot?

A whole lot

Where can I get in touch with you?

I'll be here and there. Maybe I'd better

get in touch with you.

Yeah?!

There's a phone call for you!

Are you ready for breakfast?

- I don't know yet. I'll tell you later.

- Ok.

- Shut the door on the way out.

- Right-O

- Yeah?

- Hello Molly? Honest John here.

We've got a lead for you, in Albuquerque.

Tom's Gun shop.

He's expecting you.

Yeah. Tom's Gun shop, right.

Incidentally Maynard Boyle flew over

the New Mexico this morning.

He's staying at the Travel-On-Inn motel.

In Kendrick. Make a note of that.

May I help you, Sir?

My name is Maynard Boyle.

I'm President of Western Fidelity.

This is our bank.

I'm here to see Harold Young.

He's our branch manager.

I'll tell Mr. Garfinkle

you're here Mr. Boyle.

- Excuse me.

- No, just a minute.

It's Young. Harold Young. He's the

one I wanna see. Not Garfinkle.

Sir, the District Attorney's office

in in charge of this investigation.

You'll need Mr. Garfinkle's

permission to see him.

Now, excuse me please.

- Mister, would you please push me?

- Sure.

- What's your name?

- Holly. - Sir?

- What's your kitty's name?

- Sam. - Mr. Boyle.

This is Mr. Garfinkle.

- You got any brothers and sisters?

- Yes.

- How many?

- One brother and one sister.

What's your business inside, Mr. Boyle?

My business is I wanna see Harold Young.

Afraid that's impossible right now.

Why is it impossible? Is he under arrest?

No, he's not under arrest.

In that case I'd like to see him.

I've flown all the way from Reno.

Especially for that purpose.

Mr. Young is making an audit.

I'm sure you'll understand.

Well, I assure you I do not understand.

An why am I being denied

access to my own premises?

Well, it's a matter of priority.

You see, first and foremost this is

a murder investigation.

Well, my business is purely financial.

Oh, you're very lucky so far Mr. Boyle.

All you've found missing is about $1300.

Well, if you're a nice fellow

nice things happen to you.

So I hear.

Now, where can you be reached?

I'm at a motel, in Kendrick.

The Travel-On-Inn.

I'll have Mr. Young get in touch with you

as soon as he's free.

Mr. Finkle?

Garfinkle!

Is Harold Young under suspicion?

Suspicion of what?

Suspicion of collusion in robbery.

Please don't talk down to me.

Anybody could be under suspicion Mr. Boyle.

You see, we're still at the stage where

questions have been raised.

Now if you'll excuse me.

- Bye Holly.

- Good bye Mister.

- Yeah?

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Are you the photographer?

- Yeah, that's right.

A man in a wheelchair gave me this.

Come in.

Will you just step right in there?

What is it that you wanted?

I need two passports in a hurry.

Yeah everybody is in a hurry.

- Got any pictures?

- No.

No? Ok, over there.

Sit down on that stool if you will.

What it'll cost ya will be 250 a piece.

That's 500 all told.

That's in advance.

No offense but people who needs passports

in a hurry are generally in trouble.

You get shot between now and then,

I get stuck. You understand?

Yeah it's ok. I wouldn't want you

to take a loss.

How soon can we you 'em?

Uh... You say you need two of 'em?

Yes one for me and

one for my friend.

- I can let you have 'em in two days.

- Two days?

It's not a rush order

that'll cost you a lil' extra.

You'll have to do better than that.

What, are you kidding?

You know what's involved?

This is not digging

potatoes, you know?

How soon can your friend be in

to have his picture taken?

He can't, I was hoping maybe

you could use this.

Is that that way you wanna look?

That's his driver's license.

Harman Sullivan, that's

the name you wanna use?

- Yeah, can you use that picture?

- Sure I can do..

But have you any idea what

kind of work is involved?

I'm gonna have to work

day and night. Pose.

- And that's gonna cost you 500 extra.

- $500?

$500.

What do you get for a glass of water?

I tell you what, I'll give you the other 500.

But I gotta have both passports

by six o'clock tonight.

Tomorrow. The absolute outside.

Split the difference. Twelve, midnight.

Things I do for a handsome man.

- Well, thanks very much.

- Thank you very much!

Alright, here's the

information you'll need...

for the passports.

You got the names and the..

Hair, eyes, height... that stuff.
