To the office tomorrow
for that job,
I'll try again.
You'll never
see me there.
I still
have that ruby, Doris.
You got $35 a week
working for Leo.
I'll get you 100,
And Ill bet you a barrelful
of roses you'll be there.
Joe.
Who are you?
It's our bookkeeper,
Mr. Johnson.
It's Mr. Bauer.
This is a fine time
to be getting in.
From now on,
get here on time.
Leo:
the rest of you,
If you don't want
to cooperate, leave now.
All right.
Combination supplies
the financing
On the following terms-
The capital we advance
to pay off 776
Is to be a prior lien
on the business itself
With regular 6% interest
and a $5,000 bonus
For making the loan.
It's to be paid off
by the week, so much a week,
As much as
the business can handle.
And each banker gets
a drawing account
Of 75 a week
till the debt's paid off,
Then 1/3 of the profits.
Is that clear?
You're
a bookkeeper now
For a big organization,
Mr. Bauer.
Mr. Richards,
I won't waste time.
I've got bad news for you.
I'm getting
used to it.
Mr. Morse, I got to
speak to you right away.
Excuse me.
Now, Bauer,
what's the trouble?
Just like Doris,
Mr. Morse-I'm quitting.
I just wanted
to tell you
So you could get somebody
else for tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
This place
makes me sick.
You've got eyes, Freddy.
You can see for yourself Im
not alone in business anymore.
Mr. Morse, what did you
put me into?
I didn't put you
into anything.
They put me!
Did you put me
into this
Without my knowing
or saying?
Did you do a thing
like this to me?
You came to work
in a racket
Because you wanted
the extra money.
Now you'll
get a raise.
You're working
for a big corporation
Instead of
a little man.
You're bookkeeper
You're getting ahead
in the world.
I don't want it!
I'm not your slave!
Wait a minute.
Leo, what's
the trouble?
He wants to quit.
If he quits, how will
I handle the merger?
All right, you go in
and write off
The rest
of those gravestones.
I'll talk to Bauer.
I'll tell you
the truth, Joe,
I don't
have the stomach
For this kind
of business.
What do you mean,
"this kind of business"?
Every organization has to rely
On its people when it
needs them. Go ahead.
Mr. Bauer, will you
come in here a moment?
Mr. Bauer...
Id like to straighten out
Whatever trouble there
seems to be here if I can.
There's no trouble.
I just want to quit.
Is that fair?
Maybe it isn't,
but that's what I want to do.
Why go out of your way to
make trouble for yourself?
What do you mean?
Well, we're reorganizing
We need every man's
loyalty at this time.
You can't make me stay.
You can't.
How can you make me?
What are you
going to do?
I want to be friends
with all you people.
I'm looking ahead
to where we can work
On a nice,
friendly basis.
I don't believe
in an employer
Who has to say to
his people, "you've got to."
I like an employer
whose people do things
By themselves because
they like to,
Because they're
loyal to the business.
If I go now
and walk out of here,
How are you gonna stop me?
How, if I say I won't stay
and walk out of here,
How are you
gonna stop me?
The combination
will stop you, Bauer-
Stop you dead...
in your tracks.
You see, Mr. Bauer,
Im just trying to help.
What do you say?
Now, if you have
any more trouble,
Just let me know,
and Ill try
To straighten
it out for you.
That's my job.
Good night,
everybody.
Good night.
quit this job.
I don't like working
in a place
Run by gangsters
And where
they have police raids.
See this nickel?
It belongs
to Tucker,
And so do we.
Well, Im going to quit,
just the same.
It frightens me
to work here.
What are you
talking about?
We can't quit.
They won't let us.
You heard them.
They said they'd
kill me if I quit.
They said they'd kill you,
Mr. Bauer.
You're the head
bookkeeper here.
They need you.
They don't need us.
Maybe we'll all be
without a job soon.
I read in the papers
where hall said
He's going to raid
these banks out of business.
And he could, too,
If he knew where
all the banks were
And where they moved
each time.
Are you coming,
Mr. Bauer?
No. I have
a few things to do yet.
Good night.
Hello? I want
Mr. Hall's office.
Hello?
I want to report
A policy bank-
A numbers bank.
I want you to
raid them right away,
Tomorrow when they
open for business.
And when they open again,
I want you to raid them again.
Wherever they open,
Ill tell you where.
I want them raided
out of business.
Never mind who I am.
If you raid this bank,
I'll tell you where
the others are, too.
And if they move,
I'll tell you
where they move to.
The address
is 1721 Edgecombe.
I can't talk anymore now.
Just a minute there.
I want
to talk to you.
You're Bauer.
Who are you?
I'm Wally.
I got a proposition
for you, Bauer-
A chance to make
On the Q.T.,
under the rose.
I'm not interested
in any propositions.
Just a minute.
I'm doing a job
for bill Ficco.
He used to be
Tucker's partner
In the beer days.
What's that
got to do with me?
Ficco's going into
the numbers business.
He needs
a little information,
And Im trying
to help.
He wants a list
of Tucker's banks,
The bankers,
the collectors,
The controllers.
meeting with Leo Morse
To discuss the matter.
Why don't you
ask Mr. Morse?
He'd be afraid to
get together with Ficco
On account of Tucker.
We're the competition.
But if you could get
Leo Morse
To some quiet place,
we'd be there.
That's all you
have to do.
Just get him there,
and we'll do the rest.
I don't want to have
anything to do with gangsters.
What do you mean,
gangsters?
It's business.
Good night,
Mr. Wheelock.
Good night.
Good night, Mary.
Good night.
Hey! What is this,
a parade?
I guess so.
Good night.
Take the rest
of the day off.
Mr. Morse, there's someone
waiting to see you
In the office.
Want that ruby,
don't you?
Wheelock:
Joe,may I see you a moment?
Excuse me.
Mrs. Tucker's
been waiting to see you
For over a half-Hour.
Good night,
Mr. Morse.
Mrs. Tucker?
What does she want?
You, apparently.
She wouldn't take
a substitute.
Handsome woman.
Have you, uh,
seen hall?
Yes. We're talking.
Well, what's it
look like, Hobe?
I don't know, Joe.
Just talking.
Fine. Good night.
Good night.
Wait for me, Doris.
I won't be long.
What's on
your mind, Edna?
I couldn't telephone,
so I came down in person.
Telephone
about what?
Telephone you
about the telephone.
What about the telephone?
Your prosecutor
friend hall
Has tapped
Bens telephone.
Ben has to expect
those things.
Hall is in the business,
And Ben Tucker
is his stock in trade.
That's why
Ben sent me.
So are you.
I'm an attorney.
Legally, Im in
a fiduciary relationship
With your husband.
Is your telephone
with hall?
Well, you tell Ben he has
