and he's got this coming to him.

Now get this.

Go to room 916, the Asaksa Building.

- It's a pearl shop.

- Room 916.

Right. Oh, and watch your step.

He's dangerous.

He'll fire on sight.

Eddie.

You're a man who

appreciates my position.

What would you do in my place?

Suppose you were running my outfit

and you picked up a spy?

You know what the army does when

they find an enemy agent behind the lines.

You think I'm going to kill you,

don't you, Eddie? Well, I'm not.

Not me.

Do you know who's

going to do it for me?

The Japanese police.

And they're gonna find you

loaded with pearls.

That way the army can't blame me

for killing one of their own.

How do you like that

for top-level strategy, huh?

A straitjacket would fit you just right.

Can you think of a more

brilliant maneuver?

Well, they ought to be

here in a few minutes.

All right, Charlie.

- Let's get out of here.

- No, wait a minute. Pick him up.

Why?

Pick him up.

We'll put him over here.

- Where? Over there?

- Yeah.

Hold him a minute.

Hold him. Here.

Get his chin right in there.

- Okay?

- Hang on.

- Hang onto him.

- What about his hat?

Yeah.

Those cops will fire at the first man they see.

Now is he all right?

- Yeah. He's up there.

- Okay. Let's go.

Charlie, prop him up again!

All right, Sergeant.

Take a look around.

See if you can get

that wheel turning.

The wheel, the wheel!

Make it turn!
