Let's go, gino.
Hurry!
Prison control
to phr and phq.
Get away car
with escaped prisoner
headin' north to you.
Repeat, phr and phq.
And the kid?
Don't see much of him.
He's got new friends
these days.
Where does he hang out?
Dear boy, you do have colorful
acquaintances.
They look like the supporting
cast in a George raft picture.
Hey, kid.
Hey, gino.
Hey.
Hey, why didn't
somebody tell me, eh?
Doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter.
Yeah.
Hey, you're
still big and ugly!
You're taller than me.
Yeah.
You're still mad, gino?
-Mad?
-Yeah.
Maybe, maybe,
but I carried out
tougher ones than this.
Yeah, but I don't think you know
what age
you're livin' in now.
So tell me what age we are
living in.
Computer intelligence, gino,
like... I don't know.
Like, moon flights and men
walking in space,
you know?
I think that you must be walking
in space.
Yeah.
Yeah, maybe,
but I don't know gino.
It's... it's the way
you wanna do it.
It's not gonna work.
It's just not gonna work.
You gonna teach me a better way,
huh?
Or maybe your friends have the
right answers.
All they do is play guitars and
hide behind
beards and smoke grass and wear
flower pants.
This new age really turned out
some beauts.
We should talk about it
tomorrow.
I wanna know now.
Either he's in or he's out.
Now come on,
wait a minute, gino.
There's still plenty
of time to enjoy
the fresh air, maybe
see a few old friends.
I just don't think
you're ready yet.
Stop!
I think the kid prefers paper
flowers
instead of paper money.
You're not gonna
listen, huh?
You're mad and nothing I say is
gonna change it.
I'm not mad, Tony;
Only disappointed.
The door's open, kid.
I hope so.
Here they come.

That's the name of
the game, and pay me.
And thank you
from this player.
-Thank you, ma'am.
-I'll stand.
It's good to quit while you're
ahead, right?
I'll play these.
You're a lucky girl.
Thank you.
Goodnight.
Goodbye.
Every weekend, never gets hurt.
Damn lucky broad.
Sure is.
Goodnight, Tony.
Goodnight.
Hi, darling.
Hi.
Hot.
How did we do?
Well, we could've done better
but it was still
early when you gave me
the single to quit.
Eh, that pit boss, I don't think
he liked the way my
hands were moving.
I like the way yours hands move.
Yeah, it's too bad
it doesn't do the same
thing for him.
So, how'd we do?
Well, um, we made $410 but I
lost $35 on my way
out at the slots.
That's your $35.
We split up $410.
-Tony?
-Yeah?
Isn't there anything in life
besides money?
So what?
Aren't you interested
in anything else?
Hey, she's the only one that
says anything else.
She means herself, right?
Mm... hmm.
And you are a little bit
interested in herself,
aren't you?
A lot of things about you
interest me,
like right now.
Tony, I've got
a plane to catch.
You know how I get when you
start that.
Ple... please, don't.
Just one second, please.
Just a moment, sir.
This is unit 3, kangaroo 14
calling control.
See you and read you.
Las Vegas branch.
4 containers, all 100's.
4 containers, 100's, check.
Hi, beautiful.
Hi, Joe.
Everything okay?
Everything okay.
Route for unit 3, kangaroo 14.
Load away 15 to San Bernardino,
then south
along the freeway
to Los Angeles.
Harry, you're a
congress man.
You're supposed to represent the
people.
Well, I'm people.
I'll do my best.
You do that or
the people will
get impatient with ya.
Well, did ya have
a nice weekend?
Like any other.
Did you win?
A little.
But bored a lot,
huh?
Is there anything else?
Ann, I've been
so damn busy.
Well, that's what business men
are
supposed to be; Busy.
You always had
good taste.
Wear 'em for me tonight.
What time?
I've got that business dinner
tonight.
Maybe we can have
a drink together
before that.
Mr. Skorsky, please.
-Yeah?
-Your wife.
The truck's heading for skorsky
headquarters.
They're following their routine
trip.
Nothing usual.
They made the bank delivery.
Everything's on
the level.
They're always
one step ahead
of treasury department, eh
inspector Douglas?
Any further instructions,
inspector?
You can knock off now.
We'll try again on
another trip, and thanks.
Ann!
Temper, temper.
What's the matter,
big daddy won't come up and tuck
you in tonight?
What are you doing here?
Thought you might be lonely.
Mm... hmm, and what if he had
come up?
I knew he wouldn't.
He's got a big business
dinner tonight with
his wife.
You'll get ran through trouble,
Tony.
Our kind of trouble's nice
trouble.
You're mad.
It's been tried before.
Yeah, how 'bout some music?
By experts, Tony.
That's nice.
Always grabs me, that.
Nobody can get into a skorsky
truck.
There's a guard
locked inside
and the doors open from inside,
and he's the only one who can
open them.
The drivers don't even
know the route.
They get radio instructions once
they're on the road.
Well, I got into his...
His what?
Hm, his robe.
Well you'll find his trucks
a lot tougher
to get into, Tony.
Honey, there's nothing tougher
to get into than
another man's robe, especially
the one he
doesn't keep at home,
but it can be done.
It's just a question of
information, like where's
the key to his wardrobe and when
is the next
Vegas pickup cross the desert to
la?
See, it's all so simple.
Information.
Really gets to you, that.
Tell me something,
how long were you at the casino
before
you approached me.
Two weeks, three?
What do you want me to tell you,
Ann?
I'll tell you, Tony,
you know exactly what
you were doing with me from the
very beginning.
You watched every move I made;
Took the job as
a dealer because you knew I
gambled there.
You also knew I was skorsky's
secretary.
That's the only interest you
ever had in me.
You don't think
very much of yourself
as a woman, do you?
And you think too much of
yourself as a man.
Look at yourself, you don't even
fill that robe.
Now get out of it and go!
Any time you wanna draw another
card, you know
I can hit ya.
Unit rabbit
reporting, 12:15.
We start loading
plane on schedule.
I think this time we might've
found 'em with
the wrong goodies in their
pockets.
Your attention, please.
Departure of flight 059...
I still think we should have
asked clearance
-from Washington.
-No time.
Anything goes wrong skorsky can
scream a legal search.
Treasury isn't searching,
it's airport police.
Don't worry, I've covered for
treasury department before.
Due to technical requirements,
flight 059 to Mexico City will
be delayed for
5 hours.
Will all
passengers please...
Just a second!
Unload all that baggage
and get it out
of here, fast.
What's happening, inspector?
b*mb warning.
Go ahead, get aboard
and scrub every inch, will you?
You in charge for skorsky?
Yes.
-Open them.
-Open?
But these are bonded bank
deliveries.
Doesn't matter, open them
or you don't load.
Mr. Skorsky, they wanna talk to
you.
Go ahead.
b*mb alert for light 059 to
Mexico.
Port authority's searching all
cargo.
-Including us?
-Yes, sir.
Don't they know what a bonded
bank delivery is?
They insist, otherwise we can't
load.
Let me speak to the inspector.
No, no, never mind.
Okay the search,
but I want the inspector to sign
our manifest
and an acknowledgment that he
searched our cargo.
Right, sir.
Get me Mr. King
in acapulco.
Ann.
I've got a...
Gotta get away for
a little while.
Let's go to acapulco.
A long weekend;
Forget everything else.
What do you say?
Acapulco on the line.
Yes?
Clean.
Bad timing.
The search, it
might alert skorsky.
He may call a halt
to operations.
Yeah, I may have blown a year's
treasury investigation.
That's what I meant.
First clear it
with Washington.
Yeah, you know it's funny,
for the last 6 months
every time we smelled an action
in progress, skorsky had either
halverston, nickles, or young on
duty.
Maybe skorsky makes
his moves then.
Only when he as those three
teamed as the crew.
Yeah, that's... that's a
possibility.
Boy, if we could only manage to
get a copy
of his future guard
duty assignments.
Hey, let's get
in touch with, uh,
with higgen's aster insurance.
It's time I met skorsky
personally, then we'll
do it through his insurance
company.
Come on, tell 'em I wanna get
outta here.
You win.
Hey, she has 21.
Maybe wants the dealer to get
rich.
Unit 19, camel 57 riding from
Las Vegas
to highway 15, south
of windhill station to
amboy, across 5 palms through to
highway 10.
Good.
Well, how soon
can you get the date?
Two days before pickups skorsky
will give me
the coded information to feed
into the computer.
On the morning
of pickup, the route
will be punched out
automatically on a tape
like... just like that for the
control clerk.
That gives me two days to get
ready.
Okay, now I'm gonna take sick
leave at the casino,
check in at the hotel bonne in
Los Angeles.
When you get the date,
telephone, but make sure
you call from
an outside phone
or something, you know?
If I'm not in
you leave a message.
Party arranged for such and such
and a date, you know?
And after all is over
how am I going
to go to you?
I mean, it looks
suspicious and...
You won't, you wait a month,
five weeks,
and then you tell skorsky he
either divorces her
or let you go,
simple.
Suppose he agrees?
He won't.
-What if he does?
-He can't.
He needs his old lady's
connections.
Well, suppose he finally decides
he needs me more,
or do you think that's
impossible?
You stop trying
to back me into
a corner, will you?
I just want you to tell me
something, Tony.
Do you think it's impossible for
a man
to want me more than anything
else?
To give up everything
for me?
Just what the hell do you want
me to answer, huh?
Would you give up everything for
me, Tony?
You wanna call it off?
Yes, and if I do I'm finished,
right?
'Cause I'm a loser no matter
what.
I never pushed you.
Oh, I know, darling.
Believe me.
It's of no use.
Sleepless nights
whatever I do.
Hey now, listen.
Together we're gonna make it
work, huh?
It's gonna work.
No use in borrowing trouble.
Hm, I'm not borrowing it.
I'm earning it.
Hm.
Like an old family reunion, huh?
Our leader picks up the hotline
and here we are.
Well, time for kicks, men.
So, ladies, here we have
the fortress.
Impregnable and bulletproof all
over,
including windshield and
windows.
Only weak point, front tires,
and Baxter's old
elephant g*n will take care of
it I'm sure.
Now here's the desert road
running south
on the highway,
passing through
5 palms and amboy, hooking up at
the other
end with highway 10.
Now, that the route unit 19,
camel 57 will take
on a Las Vegas, Los Angeles run.
When, dear boy?
We wait for word
in a day.
And who gives you
the word?
When I get it
you'll get it from me.
That's all you
have to know.
This is one of the runs I made
across the desert.
It runs from highway 15 here,
then continues
south where it ends at highway
10, that's here.
The skorsky truck is routed to
go to highway 10
then west to la, but it never
gets to highway 10.
We'll make the hit
here; 5 palms.
Okay, look.
Uh, here we have a roadmap of
the area.
Now, the minute we hit the alarm
goes.
From that second it'll take
the police
at least one hour to reach us.
-That's here.
-Tony, I don't get it.
All the police have to do
is roadblock both ends and we've
had it.
-That's right.
-And you figure to open
that mother and be out of there
in less than an hour?
Dear boy, not in your wildest
dreams.
Sal figures four days if we have
to cut.
Four days?
My three year old kid sister
could
do it faster.
Will mother borsey be using his
false teeth?
And all this time
what's the police
supposed to be doing?
Bringing in fresh supplies of
false teeth for
momma borsey.
Tony, the police will
be combing every
square foot in the area.
Yeah, what happens to us
and the truck?
White magic.
My fairy godmother
appears and makes us
and the truck just
vanish into thin air.
Hm, that's right.
We hit here.
Still no date?
Any day now.
You know, this is the closest
I've been to Vegas.
Next, after this,
we can buy it.
Ann?
This is the new James Bond of
aster insurance.
Uh, no offense mister, uh,
Douglas?
My friends tolerate my bad
jokes.
I feel we'll be friends.
Mr. Douglas would like to see
next month's route operations
and guard assignments.
I want him to see
the complete schedule.
He's the replacement for
Mr. Riff,
and since this is Mr. Douglas'
first visit
we'll do our best to be helpful.
There you are.
I'm sure, Mr. Douglas,
you can see at a glance
how the men are
constantly shifted and juggled
into different teams.
I never permit any two men to
work together often enough
for them to make any ambitious
plans for their
own future.
Very impressive, Mr. Skorsky.
See, until they report none of
the guards know
who they're gonna be teamed with
or what
their routes or destinations
will be.
But except for the names of the
guards,
Mr. Skorsky, all of this is in
code.
And nobody knows
the code, except me,
and big brother himself.
There.
Oh yes, duty
number 137.
Halverston, nickles,
and young.
Looks like skorsky's gonna have
at least one
more shot at it.
Might be our last
chance to bust him.
-Sam?
-Yeah?
I'm gonna go all out right down
the line,
and if I'm wrong again this
time, I'll wind up
working for some sleazy private
eye framing
divorce evidence.
Hi.
Hi.
Told you.
Dangerous to meet
'til this is over.
I wanted to see you.
Why?
You could have phoned the date.
I know.
All right.
The date?
Tell me.
I have a terrible
feeling, Tony.
I love you.
Really, Tony,
I love you.
I know,
come on, the date.
Friday the 15th,
10 am.
Tomorrow morning he wants me to
go on a long weekend.
Acapulco.
Hm, good.
You want me to go
with him?
It's a great break,
you out of town.
Since we've met
it's hell for me.
I just can't make it with him
any longer, Tony.
You've gotta hang on.
How much longer?
'Til it's over.
Normal, just...
I don't know,
go on acting normal.
Don't try to
contact me again
unless there's
a real emergency.
This is the last time
I see you, then?
Yeah, for a while;
'Til I send you word.
When this whole
thing's over we'll
have a ball together, hm?
Mm... hmm.
Behave yourself,
little girl.
Hey.
Take care.
You know I'm always happy to see
you, Steve,
but do you think it's wise to
visit me here?
It was necessary.
Wisdom is never
found in necessity.
The treasury, they got their eye
on me.
Oh?
They hit one
of my trucks
with a federal search warrant.
I see, and they
found nothing.
Not yet but I'm hot.
I've gotta quit.
Quit?
I've too much to lose.
I've built up a solid,
legitimate business.
I'm sh**ting for a government
coast-to-coast franchise.
Figured I better leave the table
before I get hurt.
Leave the table after eating so
well at it?
That type of
disloyal talk, Steve,
it makes me very unhappy.
You'll get over your sorrow in
time.
Steve, you know our business.
A man doesn't just quit.
He dies, but he never quits.
Do you want another drink?
Beno, give Mr. Skorsky another
drink, please.
Tomorrow I'll make the Vegas
run.
It'll be the last time, and if
you wanna take me on
you know
where to find me.
Hi.
How you doin'?
Put your hands on your heads,
Mr. Halverston
and Mr. Nickles.
Mr. Young must be
in the truck, huh?
All we want from you is the time
of the drop
and the extra cargo that you're
carrying.
Mr. Skorsky's undeclared
private shipment.
No?
-Hold up?
-Call it that.
Treasury department.
Oh yes, you're...
Right, la airport.
Okay, no arguments.
Now hear this, proceed as usual,
normal contact with the control.
You do or say nothing that'll
alert them.
My partners will be riding up
front in place
of halverston and nickles.
As usual, you give them the
route you get from control.
When your reach the drop for
your super
cargo you get out, unload, just
as if nothing
at all was happening.
Come on.
Man, I dig deep.
Good boy.
Hey!
Make sure the contact between
the truck and skorsky's office
remains normal.
I don't want anybody
on that end becoming
suspicious, get me?
Now go!
Go.
The drop?
1:15.
Lake mccarran.
That's right here.
Now Brian and I, we head for the
drop right now.
We take a different route to
make sure
we go unnoticed.
We meet ya there,
is that clear?
Yes, sir.
I don't wanna speak
out of turn but wouldn't
it have been better to
confiscate the truck
and the illegal cargo before
they take it
out of the country?
I'm after the big boys.
At the meeting point we should
be able to find out where
the shipments going.
I need a hot proof between, uh,
skorsky and the organization.
Come on, Sammy.
Leave the wrinkles to me, huh?
Hm?
44 left.
Well, that bird ready?
Huh.
Do good, man
yeah.
Decoy calling Blackjack.
The truck's arrived.
Proceed to the border.
Wanna say goodbye
to your lady friend?
Yeah.
Hey, Max?
Send me a wild
postcard.
Over.
Yes, good luck.
Sorry you can't come with me.
Over.
Buenos fuertes.
Over and out.
It's getting
pretty close to 0.
Let's knock on it.
Bye-bye.
Hey, lover, how'd you like to
get him
for the playmate of the month,
huh?
Time, 11:15.
11:15 position report.
There.
That must be the carrier pigeon.
As soon as it loads and takes
off contact headquarters.
Have 'em send up a couple of
police planes to force
it down before it crosses the
border.
And we'll call back when unit
reaches ne...
Control to 19 camel,
come in.
Control calling 19 camel.
Unit 19, camel 57 calling
control.
What's happened?
I don't know.
We've lost contract with
control.
19 camel 57,
from shortwave to control.
Over.
Can only read you on shortwave.
Lost video contact, over.
Camel video also inop.
Must be the relay tower.
The damage doesn't seem to come
from this end.
We'll check with you ever 5
minutes.
Over.
Wilco and out.
Put me through
to the cabin.
Okay.
Lloyd?
Yes.
We've lost TV contact with
control.
May be just a technical foul up
but stay alert.
Could be a cute trick from my
friend here.
I swear I haven't done anything.
I hope so for you.
I'm looking
at sand drifts.
Seems like someone put it
there for us.
What does this mean?
I don't know anymore
than you do.
Cabin.
Proceed with caution
across drift.
No matter what happens,
don't get off the road.
We'd be stuck for good
in the sand.
r*fle fire, somebody in front of
us.
We're hit,
your mob.
I told you I have nothing to do
with this.
They must be hiding behind those
dunes
but I'll get them to come out.
Unit 19 camel 57 calling

We're hit, truck bogged in sand

Once you get

Mr. Skorsky, acapulco, urgent.
Mr. Skorsky in acapulco, please.
Calling unit 19, camel 57.
Come in, camel.
No contact.
They must have hit the antennas.
Lloyd?
Carl?
If you need something just ring.
Lloyd, Carl,
you hear me?
Okay, guys, hold it.
Let's move, huh?
Hey, sal?
Here's the spot.
Be patient, huh?
I think it's all there,
and with one little blast
the whole scene could be in our
lap.
Hey, Tony!
We could do it now
before the fuzz gets here.
Yeah and let
everybody know
where we are for miles around.
That's very bright.
This cat inside will open up
when we want him to.
He doesn't, we'll get in my way.
Hey.
My god, volcano.
Me, I have to breathe this?
Hey.
Are you still there?
Lloyd, Carl?
If you hear me and
your mic is dead
rap on the cab with...
Be a nice kid, Tony.
Give our boy a rap on the cab.
He's getting lonely.
Vulture to troya.
You're covered.
Out.
Roger, out.
Vulture to troya,
come in.
Troya reads vulture, over.
There's a car approaching.
-Over.
-The law?
-Over.
-Don't think so.
Red sports convertible.
Driver only.
He's looking up here,
possibly even watching me
cleaning up the tracks
in the sand.
He doesn't look suspicious
but I don't know how much he's
seen-over.
All right, chopper, I'll take
care of the rest.
Over now.
Max, open the hatch.
Tony, you need a friend?
Easier alone, baby.
Tony.
Sal, I can't let him report
seeing a helicopter in the area.
Listen!
Hands on the wheel!
Open up.
Step out nice and easy.
Put your hands on your head.
Hey, just what...
Over the hood.
Okay now, give me
a drivers license
and the registration.
Yeah, I, uh... I've got my
license, car's a rental.
I've got a copy of the rental
contract.
I can give you that, huh?
Should've been here an hour ago.
Yeah, and we can't even
backtrack the route.
Sheriff klinger, inspector.
No, nothing.
No development.
Yes, I know how
skorsky can get.
We're doing everything we can;
Establishing
roadblocks over an
area of 50 square miles.
Checking every car and truck,
tanker, trailer,
anything that moves or even
crawls.
No, not yet,
we're still waiting to
hear from sa...
Oh, I see.
Just a minute.
There's a report, yes,
inspector, it just came in, uh,
from captain trumble.
Detail 1964 red corvette
convertible.
Plates a 4 1 0 5 8 4, delivered
sm branch,
registered 12th of this month to
James mcgray
who stated he'd drive to las
Vegas
and turn in vehicle there.
Yes, it checks out okay.
It doesn't seem important right
now but I'll keep
your office briefed, inspector.
Sorry, Mr. Ferris.
Just one of those things we have
to do.
Thanks.
It's all right, sheriff.
Search every garage
on the highway.
This the first time one of your
trucks disappeared,
Mr. Skorsky?
Could it be your
usual safety device
has been overlooked?
Mr. Skorsky, will you tell us
if...
No comment.
Do you think this will affect
your application
-in Washington?
-No.
That application is based on the
impregnability
of the skorsky
armored trucks.
They are and that truck will be
found intact.
Let's get going.
So far, ladies and gentlemen,
Mr. Skorsky
has refused to give a report
other than to
state the confidence that the
truck is intact and
the money is safe.
We return now to our studios
where we'll have further reports
in several hours.
So far Mr. Skorsky
is clairvoyant.
Mother borsey and her damn
smoke.
She gets her jollies by inhaling
it.
The lock,
she's moving!
Hey, watch it!
No use wasting up all your
energy now.
We might use it later.
Now don't tell me yuma.
That truck was hit here.
Not barstow, not Paris, France.
Here!
Mr. Skorsky.
State troopers, highway patrol
and deputies around the clock,
no food, no sleep,
scrubbed every square mile.
Well scrub it again.
I haven't slept since
I left acapulco.
That truck's gotta be
somewhere in this area.
Mr. Skorsky!
What is it?
Uh, I'd like to run the unit
camel tapes from,
uh, Vegas departure to the last
signal.
But the police have been chewin'
on 'em all night!
Yeah, well I'd like to run 'em
for myself.
Go ahead!
Let's go.
How will you make it?
I can't now.
I'll wait until
it gets dark.
Anyway, they should be getting
some news
from Mexico pretty soon.
Might take 'em off our backs.
Ciao.
Calling control, we're hit,
heavy force.
Attackers with
flame throwers
and a*t*matic r*fle fire.
Probably attack from behind
dunes.
Calling control,
we're hit,
heavy force.
Attackers with flame throwers
and a*t*matic r*fle fire.
Probably attacking
from behind dunes.
Acapulco calling,
Mr. Skorsky.
Yeah?
Gone, that's all.
We were hit!
Miss Bennett?
May I ask you a few questions?
-Certainly.
-Mr. Skorsky told me,
you remember, that only
he and big brother, uh, know the
routes his
trucks will take.
That's correct.
Yes, but when he's not here who
gives them
to control?
Well, you see, the computer is
time locked
and automatically delivers the
routes to
the control clerk on the morning
of the pickup.
Very hygienic.
Untouched by human hands.
Where were you and Mr. Skorsky
when the holdup took place?
In acapulco.
Oh, I see.
Thank you.
Enjoy the broadcast?
An expensive one for,
uh, aster insurance.
7 and a half million.
Isn't currency alone,
I was also thinking of
the lives of, uh, your men.
They're insured too.
Then all you stand to lose
is a reputation.
That means more to me than
the 7 and a half million.
You mean you'd
rather lose the,
uh, the money instead?
In spades.
Well, that truck'll be found.
It had to be cracked from
outside by, uh, someone
who knew exactly where to wait
for it.
Nobody could know that.
Not even the crew.
Not until they got their route
instruction from
control while they
were rolling.
That truck was tailed to 5 palms
road and then hit.
They might've broken
into the drivers compartment
but they'll never get inside
the bottom.
Uh, you were out of
town when this broke,
weren't you?
Would you mind telling me where
you were?
What's that got
to do with it?
Well, is there, uh,
any reason why you
shouldn't tell me?
No, but I won't.
Why not, Mr. Skorsky?
Because where I go
and what I do
is my own damn business.
Mr. Skorsky, your truck last
night was taken
across the
Mexican border.
Reports from the Mexican federal
police.
Truck was camouflaged with red
paint but
otherwise answers description.
The relay towers is blown,
picture goes, and
all we know is what the crew
tells control.
I knew it.
Those trucks can't be
taken from the outside!
It was my own crew!
And it's the bonding company
that'll have to pay, not aster.
You have no loss,
no responsibility,
and no further authority.
Goodbye, Mr. Douglas.
Yes, Mr. Skorsky.
I'll, uh, I'll tell my company
about this.
And since this afternoon we have
received further
reports from Mexico,
which will lead us to
expect a break
in the case soon.
What were those reports,
inspector?
Sorry, I can't divulge
information now which
might hamper the work of the
investigators.
Uh, sir, do you accept the
Mexican theory?
It's not a theory,
it's a fact.
No one can break a skorsky truck
without
the connivance of an inside man.
No mob would have
the time to cut or burn
their way into the truck
before the police found it.
Each man inside has
his own air unit, water,
food supply, can last
for 72 hours.
That does it.
-Let's move.
-What do you wanna do?
What we should of done at the
beginning, blast!
-But Tony decided we...
-To hell with Tony!
For all we know
he's been wasted.
It pains me to admit it
but Cooper may be right.
You heard skorsky.
That cat inside might hold out
for a long time.
But now we have the time.
-We can wait.
-Shut up!
Listen, Coop, the police are
looking for the truck
and crew in Mexico.
The search in the desert is off.
That's the point, bax.
Now we can blast without anyone
knowing about it
and I know just where to get
the stuff to do it.
I'll be back in an hour.
Nobody leaves
the trench.
We're still following Tony's
orders.
Aren't you just a little too old
to be playing
teacher's pet, grandpa?
Listen, queen firefly.
You just play with your Roman
candle
and be quiet or we might blast
you.
Just cool it, huh?
You should be more careful.
I could hear
your voices upstairs,
especially you, Cooper.
And no blast.
-Why not?
-Because I say so.
But Tony, the cops think the
crew did the job.
They're looking
for them in Mexico.
The search upstairs
is out.
Yeah, I know, but we'll burn and
that's it.
We'll never burn our way into
that.
I'm starting to lose my girlish
laughter, Tony,
playin' mole down here when we
could be done
in 15 minutes.
It's too dangerous to blast,
Leroy.
I'll have a word with 'em.
Hey you in there, can you hear
me?
Yes, I can hear you.
We wanna talk with ya.
I'm listening.
We're gonna give you a chance to
walk away
in your own power.
All you have to do is open
the doors nice and easy like,
and come out with your hands
on your head.
We'll let you go.
Where are Lloyd and Carl?
They're right here.
Let me speak to them.
You can talk to them when you
come outside,
but first open the door.
Not until you let me speak to
them.
Just come out of there!
Give me that mic,
now just come...
What does he mean no chance?
Break 'em, we blast if you
don't...
Cooper!
All right, now let's just
everybody knock it off.
Come on.
We've had a few problems
but things are still cool.
If we just keep our heads
we can make it,
and we're not gonna blast.
You put that on, Cooper.
There's only one.
Can you hear me?
Say something!
Stop, I'll...
You'll open up!
Yes, yes.
Make sure your hands are on your
head.
Yes, I'll... but stop!
He's comin' out.
Only chance.
I'll lay back with
the chopper.
You go out with
your hands up.
When they come in
they don't know I'm here.
Maybe there's a chance
to cut them down.
Give me the mask.
Go!
Hands on your head.
Move!
Get your...
a*t*matic trip.
Well that's a round for mother
skorsky.
Maybe two.
I don't know why we're comin'
out here.
I'd like to see the place where
you say it was hit.
Hit?
You saw the police reports.
I saw them.
My own crew,
the bastards.
Roll in to Mexico.
That's how you figure?
You got another theory?
You said you wanna leave the
table, no?
Maybe you'll decide
to take another bite
before you go.
A 5 million dollar bite.
What's that going on down there?
Douglas!
Yeah?
What the hell are you doing
here?
Oh, you know, Sunday afternoon
suntan.
We can't all afford
weekends in, uh,
acapulco.
Who is this gentleman?
Insurance.
Maybe he can use a little
insurance for his family.
Skorsky.
Recognize him?
Kozanostra, the, uh,
uncle from Mexico.
Yeah, and the nephew.
Best chip man in the family.
Young told skorsky control that
truck was
stopped by a sand drift on the 5
palms road.
Well, I can see a lot of sand
but none on the...
None on the 5 palms road.
Skorsky may be everything that
we think
he is but he didn't pull this
heist.
This is an inside job.
Somebody in his organization
managed to get the route of the
truck and the time, that's why
he's here.
He's as much in the dark as we
are.
And I can't hold his men much
longer.
I gotta get some answers.
Answers, from who?
The only one who must tell the
truth.
Big brother himself.
Vulture calling troya.
Come in, troya.
Troya reads vulture.
Over.
Glad you got
back home okay.
Decoy is back.
He's with me now.
Any trouble in your sector?
Over.
Yeah.
Bax got a couple in the head.
Pigeon inside the cage is
wasted.
We'll have to do it the hard way
now.
Over.
Is the mummy there?
Hi, Max.
Hi, Coop.
Did you bring me back your
sister like
you said you would?
What's the matter,
lonely down there?
Right, man.
I've had it down here.
Bring me two six packs of
dynamite.
Over and out.
When you gonna straighten that
head up, Cooper?
I don't see where
things are working
so good your way.
What are we gonna do,
spend a winter
in this hole?
Hey, grandpa, give us a break
and turn it off.
I said turn it off!
Hey!
International business machine.
Hey!
Trove, I wanna speak
to Mr. Skorsky.
On this screen a microfilm
record of all
operations can be read.
It's all filed and coded.
Can you ask paski for the las
Vegas pick up of
last Friday?
What's going on?
Trying to get some answers out
of big brother.
Answers?
Yes, the number of pickups you
ran last week.
The number of times
routes were punched.
You know how to operate this
machine?
Mr. Godlove here, he's the, uh,
electronics
and computer expert
on my staff.
Well the police have
proved it was my
own crew!
Two of your crew,
Mr. Skorsky.
Halbertson and nickles.
I've had 'em both on ice
for the past 48 hours.
Unit camel has been in control
of my men.
Special agents, treasury.
Wilshire 9.
7 8 4 8 6 6.
Get me judge Turner.
You just bought yourself a lot
of trouble, Mr. Douglas.
Come on.
The route and the date.
Somebody in your tight
security organization was able
to coax
the route; The route
and the date out of big
brother at least two days before
the robbery.
At least that much time the mob
had to prepare
for the attack.
Maybe big brother
can tell you who.
Steve.
Is there anything wrong?
Hm?
Frankly, yes.
I've been doin' some
homework with the computer.
You know, I've been a fool.
I don't understand.
These are last week's bank
pickups.
8 on Wednesday.
10 on Thursday.
9 on Friday.
8 on Wednesday,
but there were 9
tapes punched.
The 9th was
the Vegas route.
Who'd you give it to, Ann?
I don't know what you mean.
You're the only one who has
access to the card.
You punch 'em out,
you can punch 'em
beforehand.
Oh, you made a mistake.
Well, I understand,
but you have to tell
me who you gave it to.
But Steve, I swear...
I'm pressed for time.
Very important people
after me who want the answer,
too.
Steve, I never did.
I couldn't.
Ann.
Now listen, it could
have been anybody in the office.
It could have been
the control clerk...
Come on, now,
the truth,
and if you lie to me...
Hey, what's happened?
Cooper split.
What?
Gone.
-Then I guess it's all over.
-Why?
You and sal give me a hand.
I don't need him anymore.
Tony, all of a sudden I don't
like it.
Why?
What we're after, it's all right
here, man.
The law nails
him he'll spill
everything he knows.
I don't wanna be here
when they come visiting.
You'd better come too.
Nope.
Okay.
We'll think of an easier way to
make
money next time.
Leroy.
It's not just the money that
counts.
Personal pledge I made to
a good friend.
If and when the police come
they've gotta
find this truck open.
Prove to the world
that it's possible to get
inside a skorsky truck.
An interesting concept,
but your personal pledges were
not
in the program and I came for
the money, and
because I like being with you,
but not in the
state pen, you can
keep my share.
Hey, thanks a lot but you can
hardly give away
what you don't have.
I need your help now.
I can't do it with sal alone,
you know that.
Tony, I don't want to appear
obstreperous
but I'm leaving.
Do what Tony says.
Okay.
Okay, okay.
Okay.
Shall we have some tea?
Tony, over here!
She's taking a long time to make
up her mind,
ain't she?
She'll make her move.
Maybe it's better if I have
a friendly conversation
with the little lady.
No, she's afraid
of talk now.
Only chance is to
let her leave.
Hey, gino.
We're here, baby.
It's all here.
It's all here.
It's all here.
Vulture calling troya.
Come in, troya!
Can't see what else we can do
now.
Keep talking in circles.
The only thing which makes sense
for us now
is to get some rest.
Yeah, well any minute now
everything's
gonna make sense.
Just takes a little, uh,
Patience.
It's gonna happen right in here
somewhere, and when it does
I'm gonna need
all your help.
You sure will,
listen to this.

for your sake.
Excuse me, but I... I hate to
wake you.
I had this slight accident.
I'd like to call last Vegas, if
I may.
You wouldn't have an extra room
for the night,
would you?
Number 17, first left,
just open the door.
If that doesn't answer i'd...
I'd like to put a call

cottage?
Good boy.
That man in the 5 palms road,
Dale carren.
Now hold it.
You mean that you checked him
out?
Right down the line.
He came up a-okay.
How near to where the truck
disappeared was he
when you, uh, when you found
him?
It's beginning to look like he
was in dead-center.
Brian?
Uh, look, hold onto them but
don't pull
too tight on the
leash yet.
Let them open the last two doors
ahead of us.
Okay.
I'm not complaining,
but who are you?
I'm waiting for Mr. Ferris.
Are you?
Nice for Mr. Ferris,
but you haven't answered my
question.
Suppose you tell me...
Suppose you tell me
who you are?
Skorsky, huh?
Then you must be Tony's private
open line.
Relax.
My name's Clark.
I'm a friend of Tony's.
What kind of friend?
A friendly friend.
Listen, can you tell me where
Tony is?
Yes.
Well, I don't ask you to tell me
where he is,
but I have a very important
message
to give to him.
Sure, what's your message?
Yes?
Tony.
I've been trying to reach you.
Yeah, but I've already cracked
it.
I'll explain how later.
You got it?
Ranger inn, amboy road, right.
Stand on it, will ya?
I got one on the shoulder.
Ranger inn,
amboy road.
Right.
Uh, Tony, listen.
This broad is here.
Her name is Ann Bennett.
Right, I'll tell her.
Tony wants you
to wait here.
I'm gonna pick him up.
We'll see you later.
I think we've got company.
I wonder what
our friend wants.
Well, we'll see.
You can't stay here.
Come with me.
Come on.
Get out of the car.
Go into the 7-11.
I wanna see who
they're after.
I'll get rid of him.
You collect Tony at the ranger
inn, amboy road.
Tell him I'll be at our place in
time.
I'll join you there.
Brian?
Oh, that's a tough break.
Well try to pick it up again,
will you?
The syndicate man
who was trailing
the girl was k*lled.
Brian lost track of her.
Whole thing's going
down the drain.
Including you and
me with treasury headquarters.
But it's here!
That truck is in here someplace.
The answer is right in here,
just staring at us!
Look, any, uh, any little
thing that happens in this whole
area, I want a
complete report on it.
Okay, you'll get it.
Carnell, I want to see every

The sun'll be coming up soon.
Excuse me, Mr. Ferris, please.
Tony!
Where's Clark?
A man was k*lled,
we were followed and...
What happened to your shoulder,
Tony?
Never mind.
Where's Clark?
Well h... he said he'd come to
the place.
No, please.
Now listen to me,
and listen carefully.
Look, they know.
They're onto us.
It's of no use,
but we can still make it.
We can still get away,
you know that?
We can still make it.
We can still go away.
Now, huh?
We don't need anything else.
We have each other.
We don't need the money!
-We don't!
-Money?
Who in the hell is talking about
money?
Then why?
Gino Vincenzo,
that's why, baby.
Gino?
He was my brother.
This time he beat skorsky.
Tony?
Please, Tony?
Why didn't you tell me, Tony?
I would have understood so much
better.
Why didn't you tell me?
I'm not like that.
You know what's
waiting for us?
We're dead.
Both dead.
No?
Let's go.

Repeat, unit 53 d.
Yellow winch truck has

Is heading at full speed
towards holdup area.
Over.
Keep alert.
Hi, Tony!
You know, Cooper and I had
figured
that, uh, since no one was with
the truck you had
called it off, so we decided to
take over.
You know, like when you dig up a
ship wreck?
Finders keepers.
Talk some sense, baby.
You heard, man.
It's ours now, dig?
Now it belongs to Cooper
and myself.
We're getting it open our way,
right Coop?
Come on.
Finders keepers.
Admit it, Tony.
Go back to your car now
and split.
Get out of here!
Are you crazy?
Stop it!
Look.
The wheel's going on
its last spin.
This time I feel the ball will
fall on my number.
Report from airborne unit.
Helicopter n1174

He's looking for his truck, huh?
He's looking for his truck, see?
See?
Where's my truck?
Where?
Where's my truck?
Where's my truck?
Gino, come home, baby.
Help him find his truck.
Come on, gino.
Gino!
Come on, gino, help him.
Come on, gino,
help him!
Help him!
Come on, I'll help him!
