Union Station Page #5

before he has a crack at the money.

And he knows we know all about him.

Didn't you hear that woman

last night on her deathbed?

She said he planned to kill the girl

as soon as he got the money.

That plan was made when he didn't know

we knew who he was. The man's a criminal.

He'll do things the criminal way.

- Is this how you want the station set up?

- Yeah.

Yes, that's good. That's good,

Calhoun. Air tight.

- I want everybody stationed by 11:00.

- Oh, okay. Thanks.

It's all arranged. Murchison can pick

up the cash in the next half hour.

Boy, you really have to be somebody to

have a bank open a vault on Sunday.

Yeah, somebody.

Somebody in trouble.

I just left Mr Murchison. He went to the

bank, the FBI men arranged it for him.

Yes, I know.

This is probably flat. Would you bring

us another one? -No, it's fine. Thanks.

I think Mr Murchison believes that...

that Lorna's...

Drink some of it.

You'll have to take your position

in the main concourse at 11:00.

Everybody will be ready by then.

Please tell me, do you think

Lorna's all right?

I don't know the answers, nobody does.

- Then it's all over.

- You don't know that.

- Even you know.

- I don't.

You just jumped to a lot of conclusions

because I can't answer the impossible.

I'll tell you one thing. If she's all

right now she's gonna stay that way.

Nobody's going to get a

chance to hurt her.

Thanks, but you don't have

to pretend for me.

I know it's too late.

Inspector Donnelly knows it too.

Oh, so that does it, huh?

Well, who does Donnelly think he

is to give up for Willy Calhoun?

Hey!

You've got no right in here.

Jack, now you know the score!

Keep your mouth shut and do exactly

what I tell you or else. Sit down.

How do I get an outside line?

9. Dial 9.

Western Union, please.

River 245...99.

Open it.

Come on!

Give me a messenger service.

I want a messenger to

pick up a suitcase.

I'll break any man who takes

his eyes off that suitcase.

Here's the pick up. Western Union boy.

Is this the suitcase I'm supposed

to pick up? -Yes.

Is there anything else you were

supposed to tell? -What?

Nothing.

Pioneer Limited, car 82, compartment 4.

- We don't handle train baggage here.

- Well, it's the parcel room, ain't it?

Take it to the one on the other side.

Bill, that isn't the same suitcase.

That piece of cloth may be Lorna's coat.

Follow me!

Parcel room, what's with that messenger?

He wanted to check through

for a train, Lieutenant.

We don't handle train baggage

on this side.

- He's behind you, isn't he?

- What?

All right, get back!

- Where is he?

- I don't know.

- Is there any other exit out of here?

- No...

Wait a minute, Lieutenant.

There is another exit.

An air shaft that he could drop through.

Goes into the city tunnel. -Where?

Right back of that last

switchboard there!

Look, as soon as you can call my office

upstairs. Get Inspector Donnelly.

Tell him that Beacom's in the tunnel.

Wait for some help, Lieutenant!

Beacom.

Beacom

Listen to me.

Hello?

Beacom! Can you hear me?

I'm listening.

I'm Lt Clahoun....railroad police.

Operator, give me the police quick!

You're hurt, Beacom.

One of my slugs got ya!

Now, throw your gun out...

and come out with your hands up!

If you think I'm hurt just start

walking this way!

The police will find out where we are.

They'll cover every exit

and every entrance.

You expect me to fall for that?

Seal off the Edgewood entrance. Put every

available car into the tunnel area.

Seal off the Edgewood entrance.

It's a percentage, Beacom!

You always have a better

chance if you walk out!

I'll walk out all right. Me and Lorna.

You gotta pass me to

get to her, Clahoun.

Tell them the girl's alive.

Careful with the shooting.

The girl's alive.

Careful with your shooting.

Stop moving, Calhoun!

Now you know I'm still in business.

I'm gonna pick up cookie!

Don't make me kill her!

What good would it do to hurt her?

She's my ticket out of here!

If anybody tries to stop me,

I'll kill her!

Help!

Help!

Black out everything, Inspector!

Lights and everything!

- Black out the tunnel fast!

- Black out the tunnel fast!

Head first or feet first,

there's always some foolish man

who gets up and walks into it.

Help!

You're getting nervous waiting

for me, eh Clahoun?

Help me! Oh, please help me!

Please!

Please!

- Anything more from Calhoun?

- Nothing, sir.

But, we have them located. Somewhere

between Union Station and Rutger Street.

- That sure?

- Pretty much.

- We found where he broke through

the warehouse. - Rutger Street.

Help!

Help!

Run, Lorna!

Help me, please! Help me!

Run, Lorna! Away from my voice!

Please! Don't hurt me!

You're all right, Lorna.

We're the police.

Okay, boys. He's down there.

Take care of her.

Lorna.

- Where are you going?

- I want to get cleaned up.

Sit down here.

- Well, how's that shoulder?

- It's all right, don't worry about it.

What about the money?

He have it with him?

It's in the tunnel, a couple of

hundred feet up the track.

Now don't just stand there! Get a

doctor, he's in the ambulance.

- Stop making a fuss!

- Tough Willy.

And don't call me Willy!

I suppose it's a tough reputation

you have, Tough Willy.

- Afraid to holler out.

- Ouch!

See?

Here they come.

Now look, when anyone's around,

don't call me Willy. Will ya?
