The Street with No Name Page #6

Synopsis: After two gang-related killings in "Center City," a suspect (who was framed) is arrested, released on bail...and murdered. Inspector Briggs of the FBI recruits a young agent, Gene Cordell, to go undercover in the shadowy Skid Row area (alias George Manly) as a potential victim of the same racket.

- Yes, sir.

"Re:
Test bullet

from Luger 7.65 millimeter.

"Barrel markings identical

with murder bullets removed...

"from victims Frank Malloy

and Helen Jannings.

Arrest Stiles gang

and Demory immediately. Hoover. "

- Dick, get three squads ready.

- Right.

Take her around the side.

Straight ahead, Georgie.

- Where's the nearest telephone?

- I don't know, but there's a gas station up the road.

- Maybe they got one.

- Okay. Get there as quick as you can...

and call the F.B.I.

and ask for Inspector Briggs.

- Inspector Briggs.

- Yeah. Tell 'im that Gordon followed Cordell...

- and two of the gang to the Anderson Manufacturing Company.

- Cordell?

Gordon followed Cordell and two of the gang

to the Anderson Manufacturing Company.

- You got it?

- Yes, sir.

- Okay. What's your number?

- A-371.

- All right. I'm counting on you.

- Yes, sir.

Now, step on it.

The watchman.

I wasn't tryin'

to steal nothin', honest.

I was just tryin' to find a place to park

the bones for the night.

Well, park 'em someplace else.

Go on. Beat it.

- Thanks.

- Wait a minute.

Get 'em up.

Get 'em up!

- Hello, Georgie.

- Hello, boss.

- What's up?

- Sweet job.

F.B.I., I wanna speak

to Inspector Briggs.

- I have a message from Gordon.

- Yes?

Yes? What's the message? Just a minute.

"Anderson Manufacturing Company.

Fraser Road at Caron. "

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Message from Gordon.

He's tailed Cordell...

and two of the gang

to the Anderson Manufacturing Company.

- That's out on Fraser Road.

- At Caron.

Dick, our group will

take the Anderson plant.

- Morry, your squad'll handle the gym.

- Okay.

- Parker, you pick up Demory.

- Yes, sir.

If you don't mind, Staller and I would like

to go along with Parker.

- Try and keep us away.

- All right. Let's go.

Good enough.

- Pulled this one out of the air, Georgie.

- Yeah?

Yeah. Left, 18.

Easiest way to crack a safe:

Use the combination.

No noise.

- What was it?

- Watchman. Guard.

Okay.

Go ahead. Take it. It's all yours.

No cuts for anybody.

Go ahead.

And this is one job that'll never

get tipped off, will it, Georgie?

I don't get you, boss.

You don't, huh?

Why, haven't you heard?

Somebody did a little singing...

to the F.B.I....

told 'em things

like where I kept my gun...

when we were gonna

pull the Willard job.

Now, who would know all that

but somebody in our outfit, huh?

Yeah, Georgie,

we picked up a pigeon.

Now, you're a smart guy. Suppose you

were me. Suppose you were running this outfit.

How would you

get rid of him?

You don't know, huh?

Oh, there are lots of ways, sure.

You could knock him off

with a gun.

Shivvy could knife him. One of the boys

could drop him in the river.

But that wouldn't be clever,

would it? No.

The F.B.I.'d be crawling all over you. They'd

keep getting in your way until they got you.

Right, Georgie?

No. There's only one scientific way

to get rid of this stoolie.

Let the cops bump him off.

Smart, huh?

You see, Georgie,

any minute now...

a squad of cops'll

be coming up the front way.

And guess whose shadow

they're gonna see on that window.

And guess who they're gonna

pump full of slugs...

thinking they're

knocking off a safe cracker.

And who do you suppose

is bringing the cops?

My number-one connection

in the police department. And, Georgie...

he's leaving that way clear for us.

Not in the face. Don't mark him up.

Here they are.

Looks like your tip was okay, Mr. Demory.

- Put him back.

- But the cops...

Put him back, I said.

Ooh!

- F.B.I. What's up, Sergeant?

- Robbery. Cashier's office on the second floor.

Take care of Gordon.

- Is he the only one who was in here?

- Yes, sir.

- Gene!

- This way!

Let him have it.

You all right, Gene?

- Okay. How is Gordon?

- Bad wound, but he'll be okay.

Well, Inspector,

I didn't expect to find the F.B.I. here.

- We got a tip on a robbery.

- We got a tip too.

- Oh, is that so?

- Yes. From one of our agents here.

Mr. Demory, I'd like

to have you meet George Manly.

How's it, Cy?

Are you all right, Cy?

Me? Old rhinoceros hide.
