The Secret Six Page #6

---

We have, your honor.

Mr. clerk, will you

receive the verdict?

Please read the verdict,

Mr. clerk.

"We, the jury in the

above entitled action,

"find the defendant

not guilty of murder

as charged

in the indictment."

Quiet!

Gentlemen of the jury,

is that your verdict?

Yes, it is.

Gentlemen...

You are discharged

from further service as jurors.

In all my experience

on the bench,

I have never seen a more

outrageous miscarriage of justice!

Your verdict must remain as a blot

upon the courts of this state.

The defendant is discharged.

Court's adjourned!

Don't let that fellow get away!

They ought to lynch him!

Frank's steak house,

Centro. Step on it!

Where's the dame?

She's waiting for you in Centro.

Yeah? Well,

ain't that too bad.

What about this Carl

Luckner guy, chief?

Very clever young man.

Perhaps a little bit too clever.

I gotcha.

That gets that done, all right.

Hello, honey.

Where did you come from?

The stork brought me.

Oh, yeah?

Wish he'd bring me one.

Hello. Get me

station 23. Yeah.

Hello. Carl speaking.

Yeah. Hey, listen,

I'm down at

Scorpio's steak house.

Yeah. We're all

drifting in here

to congratulate our

old pal slaughterhouse.

Oh, good.

Luckner's at Scorpio's.

Whole gang is in Centro.

Are we ready for them,

gentlemen?

I'm ready.

Here are warrants

from the department of

justice for all of them.

What are they charged with?

Fraudulent income tax returns.

I've got them on arson.

And here are deportation

warrants for half of them.

As a representative of the

bar association of America,

I can assure you that

Newton will be disbarred.

That means no more fixed juries.

Donlin, are you ready?

You bet I'm ready, and this

time there'll be no escape.

Close ranks around

the town of Centro.

Close in on main street from the

stockyard to the drawbridge.

Close in on the square block

around Scorpio's headquarters.

Give orders to have all the...

Squad car 35, close right in

around the town of Centro.

Squad car 56, close right in

around the town of Centro.

Close in on main street from the

stockyard to the drawbridge.

Squad car 91...

All right, Joe, let's go!

What does slaughterhouse

want with me?

Don't ask me, Carl. All I

know is he said something

about you giving him

a boost in your newspaper.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.

Hello, slaughterhouse.

How are you?

Hello, Carl. We've

been waiting for you.

Well...I guess

I go for a ride, eh?

Yes, I guess you do, but you're

going to do a little talking first.

Carl, who are the secret 6?

I don't know.

Well, you'd better know.

There's more where

that came from.

What are you

going to do with her?

We've got her for company

for you on the ride.

Carl, you better come through.

Who are the secret 6?

I said I didn't know!

Will you tell us

if we let her go?

It's the truth, Newton. I haven't

the slightest idea who they are.

Well, you better get an idea.

Well, should we get started?

He'll talk before we

get down to the river.

You know,

that water's a little

bit cold, Carl.

Well, you might at least

give me a chance

to say good-bye to

my good old aunt Emma.

You're full of funny

jokes, aren't you?

Hold him here.

Put out those lights.

There's the chief.

Come on, you two boys,

let's go in and get 'em.

The rest of you, stay here.

What do you want, Donlin?

We've got federal, county, and

city warrants for you, Newton,

and all your gang!

You better come down here

now and give up quietly.

Otherwise, we'll

come in and get you!

All right, Donlin,

we'll be right down.

You hold Donlin on that spot.

Don't you let him

enter this building.

Get over against the

wall there, you guys.

Get over there! Get

over against the wall.

Get over there!

Give me part of that dough.

We haven't got time

for that now.

We've got to get

out of the country.

Give me part of that dough.

You can cut through the stockyard.

I'll meet you at pier 14.

Give me half of that dough!

I'll see you at pier 14.

You'll see me now!

Well, that serves me right.

That's the first time

I ever turned my back

to you, you rat.

Gee, newt, I didn't want to get

you, but you asked for it.

Peaches. Peaches!

Peaches!

Peaches!

Hurry!

Send 'em over the roof!

Tell 'em I'm not here, peaches!

Come on, come on.

Get in here, baby!

Get in here, my old pal!

Come on in, you bozos.

I got him!

Come on up! Come on!

Come on in!

Where is he?

He's in the closet.

Get him! Get him!

Come on out, slaughterhouse!

- Pete!

- Yeah?

- How much time do we got?

- About 10 minutes.

Slaughterhouse?

Yeah?

What you doin', sweatin'?

No. If we hadn't

croaked Newton,

he'd be able to

get us out of here.

Hmm. Well, he can't fix the

jury where we're going.

Silence!

Slaughterhouse

passed out of jail.

Yeah. Now let me

slip you the real dope.

The secret 6 is on the job.

Yeah. We're gonna

clean up the country.

And listen, Sam, don't call me up again.

I'm all in.

I'm gonna lay off

for a month and sleep.

No, at my aunt Emma's.

- I want to thank you for your help, Carl.

- That's ok.

The secret 6 wants to

do something for you.

Yeah? Well, all I want

is a lot of sleep.

If they feel that way, why don't

they do something for Anne?

Send her away on a trip, give her

a chance to start all over again.

Poor kid,

she's had a tough break.

All right, Carl, I think

that can be arranged.

Hello, hello. Sam?

What do you want?

No!

What?

Boy, that's hot news!

Shot through

the bedroom keyhole?

Say, have the cops hold

the guy in pajamas.

Sure, I'll step on it!

Scorpio

dead! Extra, extra!
