Five Came Back

We've got plenty of time.

Well, we made it, sir.

Yes, thanks. We're very grateful.

I'll have to get some change.

You can keep the

change on one condition.

Anything but murder, mister.

If anybody asks for us...

you've never seen us, and

you never brought us here.

Is that clear?

That's not only clear,

It's the truth, so help me.

Good.

There it is.

Our plane, huh?

In a few minutes, we'll

be out of all this mess.

It's wonderful.

Miss Peggy Nolan!

Beg your pardon, are you miss Nolan?

No.

Sorry.

Miss Nolan!

Miss Peggy Nolan!

Miss Peggy Nolan!

That's my name.

Package for you, miss Nolan.

Thank you.

Violets, Madame. Gardenias, 10 cents.

Perhaps you can sell these.

Orchids. Thank you very much.

Next plane, flight

number nine, the silver queen.

Los Angeles to panama via

Tepic, Mexico. Leaving...

I do hope they haven't

misplaced our luggage.

Martha, dear, I'm sure the

young man knows his business

Quite well enough to

take care of everything.

He didn't look to me

As if he had a brain in his head.

Straighten your tie, Henry.

Thank you, dear. Thank you.

Hello, Joe. A note

from the superintendent.

Thanks, ray.

Oh, hello.

Hello.

Traveling with us?

Mm-Hmm.

Yes, we are.

Watch your step, Tommy.

Now, Tommy, I want you to be a good boy

And mind your uncle Pete

just as you would me.

Do I have to go away and leave you?

Oh, I'll be with you in a day or two.

Then we'll get a boat and

go fishing and swimming

And everything.

How would you like that?

I'll join you in about a week.

Mike, why don't you chuck

everything and come with us?

You've squared all your beefs.

Nobody can lay a finger on you.

I'm thinking of him.

O.K. I'll see you in panama city.

See you later, Tommy.

I'll see you later. Don't be long.

I won't. Get going.

Say good-Bye to your pop.

Bye.

Good-Bye, son.

See you soon, daddy.

That's the two we had trouble with?

Yes, sir. Six and seven cylinders.

Take a look at this, bill

Young man, how many

minutes before we start?

We'll be held up about

a quarter of an hour.

Orders from the department of labor.

The department of labor indeed,

You'll have to find a

better reason than that.

We're taking on an anarchist.

Anarchist?

Yes. Murdered some war

minister down south.

Murderer!?

They thing he's crazy.

But don't worry, folks.

He'll be in custody the entire trip.

He may not be as crazy as they think.

The government of my country deeply regrets

the trouble to which you've been put.

Oh, it's no trouble at all. Will

you kindly sign right there, please?

You too, Crimm.

Senor.

Well, there are your deportation papers.

Once again, many thanks.

Here are your tickets and expense money.

You'll get the reward when you

deliver him to the proper authorities.

All this is very useless, gentlemen.

I can promise you you

will never deliver me

To the proper authorities.

With 5,000 bucks waiting

for me when I hand you over?

I'll get you there

If I have to take you in a little box.

Are you positive you don't want

us to send one of our officers

Along with crimp?

I am certain senor crimp

will deliver him safely.

If you please, gentlemen, don't move.

You haven't a chance, Vasquez.

This is the seventh floor, and

between here and the street,

There are at least 50

officers... all armed.

Hanging is such an unpleasant death.

Besides, a hanged man always dies alone.

I much prefer dying in the company

of decent citizens like you...

always provided I'm the last to die.

So don't try to stop me.

Behind you, Vasquez.

Drop that gun.

Your warning might have

cost Murphy his life.

What's the matter with you, crimp?

I said I'd deliver

him alive, and I will.

Nobody's going to do

me out of my reward.

They are holding the plane for you now.

Come on, you.

That's him.

Have you got a match?

No.

Thank you, miss.

Looks like we're taking

the same plane, sister.

I don't talk to cops.

They been bothering you much lately?

Your papers are in order.

The steward will show you to your seats.

Thank you.

That's all right.

The steward will show

you to your seat, too.

Ready to go, miss?

Altitude 3,000 feet. Visibility good.

Ceiling unlimited.

Give me weather at Tepic.

Wx2z to wnwo.

Come in.

Wx2z back to wnwo.

O.K., thanks.

Wx2z off.

Tepic's all clear.

Swell.

What are you going to do when

we lay over in panama city?

Sleep.

I'm figuring on a round of gaiety.

With the passenger in seat 5?

Right.

That's her boss with her, isn't it?

Sure. Young Alice.

She says his old man owns

half of south America.

Rubber and tin.

He might not like the idea

Of you chiseling in on his secretary.

They're mighty friendly.

I suppose if you had a secretary,

You'd give her a slap in the teeth.

I saw them holding hands.

Well, maybe he's got business worries.

Yeah, maybe.

I think I'll go aft and have a sandwich.

Hey, skipper.

Good evening.

Aren't you going to get any sleep?

Later on maybe.

I just want to be sure my friend here

Doesn't try to go for a walk.

At this altitude?

You might want to get

it over in a hurry,

And you're worth 5,000 bucks to me.

Yes, Mr. Crimp. I'm very

expensive merchandise...

and I

warn you...

You'd better not relax your

vigilance for one minute.

I'll stay awake all night.

All right, now, Tommy,

let's go to sleep.

Well, we have to say our prayers first.

What do you mean "we"?

Don't you say your prayers every night?

Uh, sure, sure, I do.

Shall we say your prayers or mine?

Well, I'm kind of sick of my prayers.

Let's try yours.

Now I lay me down to sleep.

Now I lay me down to sleep.

I pray the lord my soul to keep.

I pray the lord my soul to keep.

If I should die before I wake...

if I should die before I wake...

I pray the lord my soul to take.

I pray the lord my soul to take.

Please take good care of my daddy.

It's personal right here.

You don't have to say

it if you don't want to.

Oh, sure, sure. I get it.

Please take good care of my daddy

And help us to get back together again

Soon as you think you can.

Thank you. Amen.

O.K., Tommy. Now can

we get some shuteye?

Good night, Pete.

Good night, kid.

Nice night.

Yeah.

We land at Tepic in

the morning, don't we?

That's what the timetable says.

I thought perhaps

you'd like a cigarette.

No smoking allowed in here.

You don't talk much, do you?

Lady, we hit some bumpy

air over the mountains,

You might feel it less if you go to bed.

Go to sleep.

I get it.

Well, good night.

Oh, why don't they go to sleep?

I'll take the call for you, Larry.

Don't bother, Mr. Brooks.

No bother at all.

Oh, I get it. Number 5's

that good-Looking gal.

You want to borrow my steward's coat?

Steward!

Oh, it's you.

Is there something I can do?

The ventilator's stuck...

but I called for the steward.

I'm pinch-Hitting for him.

I suppose he's flying the ship for you.

Seems to be jammed.

You know, we stop off at

Tepic, Mexico, in the morning.

They told me that when

I bought my ticket.
