Public Enemies Page #6

Where?

Like Cuba?

Maybe further.

Alvin's got this job.

It's a big job, a lot of dough.

We could go away on it.

We grab a Pan Am

Clipper to Caracas,

scoot on over to Rio

for some fun in the sun,

slide off the map.

We could go dancing

and have a lot of laughs

any time we want.

Want to take

that ride with me?

Yeah, I want to take

that ride with you.

Where's the apartment?

Oakley and Potomac.

All right, the bartender's

name is Larry Strong.

He'll give you the keys.

Who brought you?

How did you get here?

A taxi. I took a taxi.

Let's go. Let's go, guys.

Come on! Get her outside.

Where is he?

Where were you meeting?

Where were you hiding out?

Answer him or they'll drop

you in a black hole in Cook County.

Where is he?

I have to go to the bathroom.

Christ, look what you did.

Where were you

supposed to meet him?

I can't hear you.

I can't hear you!

We were supposed to

meet at our apartment.

Where?

On Addison.

What number?

When?

Right now.

Miss Roberts, can you

reach Agent Purvis?

No. He's on his way back

from Mooresville, Indiana.

He's going directly

to Cook County Jail.

John Dillinger's holed up

at 1148 Addison.

Where is he?

Well,

way the hell away from

here by now, isn't he?

You wanted to know where

he is, you dumb flatfoot.

Mr. Purvis, those men cannot

treat a woman in this way.

You walked right past him

on State Street.

You were too scared

to look around.

He was at the curb

in that black Buick.

You asked me how I got there,

I told you I took a taxi,

and you believed me?

He dropped me off

and was waiting for me.

And you walked

right past him.

And when my Johnny finds out

how you slapped around his girl,

you know what happens

to you, fat boy?

Uncuff her.

Restroom is down the hall.

I can't stand up.

Miss Rogers.

Hello.

I'm Marty Zarkovich.

I was told to call you, Mr. Nitti.

I think I can get her to play ball.

Make sure.

Yes, sir, Mr. Nitti.

What did they say, Anna?

They say they send me

back to Romania.

You know what to do.

Can they fix deportation?

Can they do that?

These guys can fix anything.

Okay.

I want guarantee.

If you aid us in

apprehending John Dillinger,

I give you my word

I will do everything I can to

influence Bureau of Immigration

to let you stay in America.

Not enough.

Well, that's all there is.

I want guarantee.

Well, you're not gonna get one.

I think you did this.

I think you told Immigration to pick

me up and send me back to Romania.

How do you socialize with him?

We go out.

Maybe tomorrow night.

Maybe not.

Maybe in a week, a month.

Maybe never.

I will not guarantee

what Immigration will do,

but I can guarantee what I will do.

If you do not cooperate,

you will be on a boat out

of this country in 48 hours.

Do not play games with me.

Who is "we"?

Me, him, Polly Hamilton,

one of my girls.

How will we know?

I call you on the day

when I know.

Did you get in there?

Did you see her?

Yes, I did.

She palmed me this note.

She told me what it said.

That's good advice.

What are you doing here?

Meeting people.

On Tuesday, it'll carry the payrolls

for seven factories around Rockford.

There's 2 ways in, 2 ways out.

Doc cuts the telephone lines

five minutes before.

Train arrives,

you and I go in strong.

Harry handles the door

and the safe.

Jimmy and Freddy drive.

What do you figure?

About $1,500,000

to $1,700,000.

$300,000 each.

Holy cow.

Yeah.

We pull this Tuesday,

I'm gone Wednesday.

Yeah. Where? Cuba?

No.

No. Where I go, I'm gonna have

to go a lot farther than Cuba.

Yeah.

Hi, Jimmy.

What do you say?

Polly, Jimmy's back!

I tell you what, doll.

How about you, Polly and me

go out to a movie tonight?

Get in some refrigeration.

Where do you want to go?

Maybe the Marbro

or the Biograph.

Jimmy's taking us

to the picture show.

I'll go to the store later and

make fried chicken for dinner.

Where you going?

Streetcar.

I gotta go downtown to get

my waitressing license.

Hang on a minute. I'll take

you. It's too damn hot in here.

Yeah?

Mr. Purvis. Anna Sage.

Afternoon, Miss Sage.

It is tonight!

Anna Sage will be with him

and will wear a white blouse

over an orange skirt.

That is how

we will know it is him.

He may have changed

his appearance.

And we have not learned if he will

go to the Marbro or the Biograph.

Two theaters?

That's right.

What's playing?

Excuse me?

What's playing at the Marbro?

What's playing at the Biograph?

A Shirley Temple movie called

Little Miss Marker is at the Marbro.

The Biograph is playing

a gangster picture

starring Clark Gable,

Manhattan Melodrama.

John Dillinger ain't going

to a Shirley Temple movie.

Sergeants Zarkovich and O'Neill, from

the East Chicago Police Department,

and Agent Winstead will be

at the Biograph, as will I.

Now, Virgil Peterson, you

will coordinate the Marbro.

He will be armed and

extremely dangerous.

Is that it?

Yep.

I'll be right back.

Hold on.

I'll go in with you.

All right.

It might take 10 minutes.

I'll meet you outside.

I'd like to see Babe take

one more swing this season.

But his leg is pretty sore. He takes a

bit of batting practice, but not very much.

What's the score?

Cubs, 3-2, top of the 7th.

...that's why he's

out of today's game.

The pitch is high. Ball one.

Broaca, the batter

leading off for the Yankees,

did not see the ball very well.

What's going on?

Nothing yet.

They haven't shown up

at the Marbro.

Blackie!

Jim!

Well, you old son of a gun!

I say, you're looking swell, Jim.

Let's get a load of this

Dempsey-Firpo binge, shall we?

Yeah, yeah. But when will we get

together again? Gee, it's been weeks!

Well, what about

tomorrow night? Saturday?

I will light my cigar

when he's coming out.

Zarkovich, O'Neill,

you and your men

take the hat store right

across from the theater.

Smith, Suran, Clegg, take two

agents, you cover the rear alley.

And Rorer and Rice, you stay in

the car with Reinecke to the north.

Clarence and I are

gonna be in the doorway

the theater entrance.

Gerry, you're in the tan sedan

just to the north of the entrance.

In case he walks north?

He ain't gonna walk

north, Mr. Purvis.

He's gonna head south, cut through

the alley back to her place.

Madala.

Hello, Gallagher.

Hello, Snow.

Must be something pretty important,

getting me in here in

the middle of the game.

What do you want?

I want to do a little

favor for a friend.

You're the governor.

You can save his life.

He's guilty.

The jury says so.

Goodbye, Blackie.

Goodbye, Jim.

I can't help it, Blackie.

I'm not gonna let you die.

I've got to commute you.

You think you're doing me a favor

by keeping me locked up in this

filthy trap for the rest of my life?

No, thanks. Come on,

warden, let's go.

So long, Blackie.

Kid, keep your chin

up and your nose clean.

Die the way you lived, all of

a sudden, that's the way to go.

Don't drag it out.

Living like that

doesn't mean a thing.
