I really don't know.
I just don't like him.
Ever since I was a kid.
I don't know why.
He was all right, I guess.
But he always smelled like vanilla.
He used to drink that extract
when he couldn't get wine.
You couldn't let him breathe on you,
so I'd stand behind him.
And he'd get mad.
He'd get mad and hit me.
Even now, doctor, when I smell
something sweet, I get dizzy.
We've discussed association before.
In relation to odours, it's quite common.
Yes, Eli?
To me, no odour's really distasteful...
...in the sense that I don't associate it
with a psychological problem.
As a matter of fact, there are
certain scents that arouse in me...
...a series of rather pleasant memories.
Like... when I was a bellboy
in a Chicago hotel.
I was years old.
My first job.
And in an elevator,
I learned to tell the size of a tip...
...by the cologne the guest
was wearing.
That hotel was really an education.
As a bellboy, you had to be
a supplier of sorts.
After-hours booze for the lushes,
grass for the potheads...
...and girls for the needy.
And it was amazing
how you could identify these people...
...and their desires with your nose.
Mom...
My mother, she always smelled good...
...especially when she was going out.
Which reminds me...
I was... .
Before my father died...
I was sitting on his knee,
as I always did after dinner...
...and Mom came in in a new dress,
smelling delicious...
...and announced she was going
to the library.
And Dad suggested
she change her hose...
...and that she had a run
in her right stocking.
She said no, she didn't have time.
So she hurried on out.
But the rest of that evening...
...that horrible evening,
I'll never forget.
When she came home...
...Mom's run was on her left leg
instead of her right.
It's not my intention
to stifle free thought...
...but we are getting away
from Edward's dizziness.
Well, I'm afraid that's all for today.
Bennie, would you open the blinds?
I'll be back next Wednesday.
We'll try to pick up where we left off.
Thank you, doctor.
- Got a minute, Marion?
- I have to get back to the city.
I've just received the final results.
We've set a record.
Out of applications, the board
has approved inmates for parole.
- Wonderful.
- We couldn't have done it without you.
You should be pleased.
Three you're totally responsible for:
R.C. Smith, Henry Miller and Eli Kotch.
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
in a one- horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
in a one- horse open sleigh
Dashing through the snow
Gonna use your plans, Red.
By the time you get out,
it'll be too late for me.
- Same deal we talked about?
- You're crazy.
I got it straight
from my little yellow bird.
You sure?
Just tell that fat brother-in-law of yours
to expect me in L.A. In two weeks.
- How you gonna spend all that bread?
- All that dough.
I'm gonna buy myself a new appeal.
Merry Christmas, Red.
Merry Christmas, Eli.
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
in a one- horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride

You smell good.
Darling, Mr. Simpson is understanding,
but he's still only a parole officer...
...and he follows the book.
You were supposed
to have reported yesterday, you know?
- Whose fault is that?
- Mine.
I'm an idiot.
I should have known better.
Darling...
You still make me wait
an awful long time, do you know that?
What about me, baby?
You've got -hour grace, no more.
You've got to be there before :.
I'm gonna call a taxi for you.
Mr. Simpson is quite conservative,
so I want you to wear your grey suit.
Hello? Would you please send a cab
to Vista Street?
In about a half-hour.
Thank you very much.
You have to report to him once a month,
so make a good first impression.
I know. I've worked with him
ever since I've been in San Francisco.
I'm still not pleased about you
being a warehouse clerk...
...but I guess he did his best.
And I talked to a friend in real estate.
You'll meet him tomorrow.
Did you hear me, darling?
Every word, my love.
I want you to wear this black tie.
We're gonna eat here tonight.
Dinner at :.
Black tie.
- Bill Simpson.
- Hello, Bill? This is Marion Hague.
I'm enquiring about Eli Kotch.
He had a : appointment with me.
- He didn't k eep it.
- We haven't heard from him.
He's broken parole.
We already notified the police.
StarStream flight ...
... is now arriving at Gate .
Attention, please. The airport buses
for downtown Los Angeles...
... Beverly Hills and Hollywood
will depart in minutes from Ramp A.
StarStream flight ...
... will depart from gate .
Passengers may proceed
to the gate area for check-in.
Milo Stewart. Al Morgan.
This is security chief George Logan.
William Yates, L.A. Police.
Roger Snyder, L.A. Sheriff's.
I couldn't get out of Washington sooner.
As a result, we'll have to work overtime.
The Russians will test security
before the premier arrives.
We can't just put him in an armoured car.
It'd hurt our image.
- How long is he here?
- Three days.
- I thought we would be in charge.
- Nothing's changed.
Everyone must work
with the State Department.
- We have a plan...
- I'm sorry.
Since the airport is our first contact,
it's my primary concern.
We can't have meetings here.
It's too easy to bug.
Yes, I agree to that.
I told our personnel
that we're holding a routine inspection.
- Very good idea.
- By the way, have you seen Bobby lately?
How many times do they have to
check the airport?
Red must be out of his mind.
$ down and days to pick up
the rest of the payments? That's no deal.
If these plans were mine,
I wouldn't give you time to say hello.
Here's your bread, Jack.
You don't call me in days,
the plans go back on the market.
I don't see you coming up
with $, more.
You know, I gotta tell you something.
You're nuts.
You should have waited around
a while. Cooled it.
What's the damn rush?
Well, I'll tell you, Jack.
You wait around, you get fat.
I don't know how you got into town, but
you'll have a hell of a time getting out.
- Where do you work, Mr. Emerson?
- Acme.
- Acme Funeral Parlour up in Berkeley.
- I see.
I just carried this old professor down
from campus. He fell off his motorbike.
We laid him down
over at the Golden Pastures.
Well, I have a Mr. Hutchins being shipped
to Denver by train. He's due tomorrow.
- His wife isn't gonna be able to make it.
- Denver?
She's still under sedation.
Doctor said he'd call shortly.
I tell you, Mr. Barber,
how about I give you a ring in an hour?
- That'd be fine.
- I could carry him down to Denver.
- Next of kin or escort?
- He's an escort.
- Have a good trip.
- Thank you, brother.
They're ugly, but comfortable.
The O'Neals, my employers,
insist upon regulation uniforms.
I never saw such fussy people.
I really don't care.
Actually, I never think about my feet.
I must think of a million things
every day, but never my feet.
The cook can't read
without slippers on.
I only read nonfiction. At the moment,
I'm delving into psychosomatic medicine.
Dr. Carr's new book
is absolutely revealing.
As a matter of fact, I'm exploring
the idea that sex is psychosomatic.
I don't like people to agree with me.
It's more stimulating.
How can two people exist
without conflict?
By becoming lovers.
You see, you disagree, and right away
we have a relationship.
Well, how does that feel?
It feels a little tight
around the heel.
I don't believe in names. Do you?
Who remembers anyone by their name?
Take my name for example:
Frieda Schmid.
Peter Bress.
I love your French culture.
I find it frightening.
I am Swiss.
You must admit that since we disagree,
we've got a lot in common.
I hate to go out with anyone who agrees
with me. It makes such a dull evening.
I prefer Arabian food.
I don't care what I eat,
especially on my day off.
There's a little restaurant called Tangiers.
It's on Helm Street.
- Shall we say
- I'm always on time.
- It's one of my failings.
- Yes.
I don't think I'd like Switzerland.
I don't like anything that's neutral.
How can you experience or feel anything?
I have to take sides.
- Were you born in Geneva?
- No.
I was born in Minneapolis.
My mother took me to Switzerland
when I was .
It's been a very interesting experiment...
...coming home after all these years.
So I came here to Denver.
This is where my father died.
One tragic night...
...the automobile slid
across the wet pavement...
...into the stone of a church.
Fragments of stained glass
lay on his body like a shroud.
Mother told me he died
of hardening of the arteries.
I was when I learned the truth.
There was a woman
in the car with him.
Not a woman really, a child.
Sixteen. Maimed for life.
Excuse me.
You must have been horrified.
About your father?
I think you're very brave.
You'll find the answer.
Yes. I think I already have.
A woman's place is in the home.
"But whose home?" I always say.
We all must be explored.
- It's been a beautiful evening.
- Oh, yes.
- Quiet.
- No, no, no.
The key.
The same old work shoes again.
But this time, I want black.
In black?
No windows have been jimmied.
The dog didn't bark.
Locks haven't been tampered with.
It sounds like an inside job to me.
Somebody who could walk in and out
of the house. But it doesn't make sense.
Three jobs in one night.
They can't all be inside jobs.
I can't think of anyone. Mr. Bress is
the only one I'm seeing and he's a purist.
- Would you mind describing him?
- He had a tortured soul.
He was raised in Switzerland.
His father robbed him of his security.
- Was he tall? Was he fat?
- He was very shy.
His accent was more French than Swiss.
Isn't a European flavour refreshing?
- Hello?
- I'd like to speak to Harris Emerson.
- This is Harris Emerson. Who's calling?
- Mr. Robbins from the mortuary.
- Oh, yes. How are you?
- Fine, thank you. Are you available?
I reckon.
How soon is it gonna be?
- This Wednesday, by train to Revere.
- Revere, now?
- Where is Revere?
- Outside of Boston.
- How much?
- The town's tighter than a drum.
I got a contact in Europe. You'll get twice
as much as any fence here.
- I don't have the time. I want it now.
- Then, cents on the dollar.
- Come on, that's only $,.
- Lf you're lucky.
- Yeah, but I want . It's worth it.
- Forget it. Not a chance.
- Joe, arrange a meeting for me tonight.
- You're too hot.
They'll handle the stuff.
They want no part of you.
Okay, do the best you can.
Hey. Hey!
You've got termites.
I gotta go through the whole house.
I'll get the keys for the basement.
All right.
Inger? Come into the study
as soon as he gets through.
I wanna get a letter off to Mr. Sinclair.
And ask Emily to bring me a pot of tea.
Yes, Mrs. Galbrace.
What are you doing?
Would you put my things down?
- Fig Newtons and milk?
- Lf you don't mind...
- Harlow? Fanny Hill...
- I have letters to dictate.
You should be arrested for conformity!
"When you harnessed my spirit,
you stole what did not belong to you!"
- Bean Sweeney. Did you ever read him?
- Who?
Bean Sweeney. Fantastic.
The first time I read him,
I couldn't write for six weeks.
Didn't write a word for six weeks.
- Beautiful man. Said it all.
- Inger? Inger?
- I can't keep Mrs. Galbrace waiting.
- Hey, Inger?
Will you turn on the motor?
Henry?
It's a...
I... It's...
I like it.
Your coffee, sir.
Excuse me, the telephone.
Mr. Silverstein's residence.
He's not giving out any interviews.
The Nobel Prize?
I don't know if he'll accept.
He will not appear on the Tonight program
and he will not go to Hollywood.
Your brandy has arrived from Cognac.
Would you like some?
- Yes.
- A request from the Women's League.
They would like to know whether
you write standing up or sitting down.
On my back.
Tell me, Miss Knudson...
...where is Mistress Galbrace?
She won't be back until tomorrow,
Mr. Silverstein.
And the cook?
It's her day off.
And the rest of the staff?
What is it?
I'm afraid I won't be able to please you.
Paging Mr. Ellis. Paging Mr. Ellis.
Paging Mr. Ellis.
Boy.
Bob Ellis?
Robert Ellis. Room .
- No, sir. Charles Ellis. Room .
- Are you sure?
Yes, sir.
Paging Mr. Ellis.
Mr. Ellis.
Paging Mr. Ellis.
Miss?
And that's for you, my dear.
Hello, this is Charlie Ellis, Room .
I'm down here in the Mariner's Room.
I'd like to make a call to Los Angeles.
That's right, . The number I want
is Poplar ----.
Poplar, yes.
Thank you, operator.
- Yeah?
- Hello, Jack. This is Eli.
- About those plans...
- Hey, you drunk or something?
I just wanted to call and tell you
that you can expect the escrow to close...
...around the th of February.
- I'll believe it when I see it.
You can expect me then.
I'll give you a call.
- See you then, Jack.
- Sure you will.
Operator, it's Charlie Ellis again.
I'd like to talk
to New York information, please.
Thank you.
Yes, I'd like the number
of a Miles Fisher.
He used to have his offices
in the Brill Building.
There's been a change in gate assignment
for TransWorld flight .
Hey, Miles.
- Hi.
- I thought you were in Miami.
- No, I was in Toronto.
- How's your sister?
- She's a lot better.
- Got a truck out here.
- What's been happening?
- This and that.
I've been inventing things.
Hey, what does that look like?
Looks like a... ballpoint fountain pen.
It's not. It's a transmitter.
You can put that on somebody's desk...
...and with a regular radio,
you can pick up what he's saying.
Miles, you're fantastic.
- I wish we weren't going to Los Angeles.
- Why not?
Too many people know you out there.
We've taken care of things like that.
Just play that invisible game, you know?
You sure do get some weird jobs.
Is this a poison truck?
I don't think it'll hurt you.
Okay, I'II...
I'll go on out to Los Angeles,
rent a place and pick up a car for you.
No, Miles, don't do that.
I don't think we should be seen together...
...until we meet at Eddie's.
I don't see how you can manage alone.
It's all taken care of.
You gonna marry me?
Oh, Henry.
You'll be late for work.
- I have a little surprise for you, honey.
- What?
Look over in the inside pocket
of that coat over there and you'll see.
"Dear Mr. Silverstein:
Your recent essay has caused
considerable interest in this office.
Unfortunately, there is no publication
at this time...
...willing to accept material
of this nature.
However, your poetry has aroused
the interest of several songwriters...
...one of whom has been commissioned
to set music to your poem...
...'Yesterday, Tomorrow is Today'...
...for an album to be done
within the next couple of weeks.
Your presence here will be necessary
to consummate the deal.
The record business could provide
for you a very lucrative future.
Please advise immediately
upon receipt of this letter."
This is from Los Angeles.
How'd you like to go to California,
Mrs. Silverstein?
- I'd love to.
- Would you?
All right, we're gonna have an adventure.
You'll fly to Los Angeles in the morning.
You can rent a car. Rent an apartment.
Someplace not too expensive.
In the Valley perhaps. Near a freeway.
I'll be out there Tuesday of next week.
My friend has a car-ferrying service.
I can drive the car to Los Angeles,
and they'll pay me bucks too.
- What about that?
- Why can't we go together?
- We can't afford that, honey.
- But I'd rather drive out with you.
Yeah, that'd be fun, wouldn't it?
We can't afford the time, baby.
What did he say? "Within two weeks."
Well, I don't think I can go tomorrow.
You wanna go to California?
- California?
- California.
Wilma, there's someone at the door.
Hello?
Grace, I can't talk to you now.
I have to leave the line open
for the police.
It's Pepe. I lost him in the park.
I'll call you back later.
Mrs. Kirby?
Mrs. Kirby, it's Pepe!
Thank God!
I thought I'd never see you again.
You must be starved.
How can I thank you?
Where did you find him?
I am so grateful.
That's all right, ma'am.
I have a couple of dogs of my own.
- I'll be going now.
- Isn't there some way I can thank you?
- No.
- Where did you find him?
He was wandering down Commonwealth
Ave. I almost run over him.
Oh, my...
But...
Why that looks like an Utrillo in there.
- Forgive me. Won't you come in?
- May I?
By golly...
Yes.
- Why, it brings tears to my eyes.
- It was one of my husband's favourites.
- He bought it just before he died.
- Yes.
But I can tell you this,
he spent a lot of time in Houston.
He was a member of the Ku Klux Klan.
He kept asking me for a donation.
He argued that people of our class
needed such organizations for protection.
Mind you, I have no prejudices.
The man was persuasive.
He kept bringing me literature.
He said it was sent to him
by a friend in Little Rock.
If you'll excuse me, I'll get it for you.
I just remembered...
I don't know how to tell you this.
It's rather embarrassing.
It's not just the paintings. There were
two Japanese figures upstairs.
- I do want them back.
- Is there anything you can tell us?
Anything that might lead
to identifying him?
He wears a truss.
Last call, flight ...
... departing for Los Angeles,
now boarding.
Sorry I'm late.
The Russians are staying
at the Ambassador Hotel.
The motorcade will use Wilshire Blvd.
That's congested, and there are
tall buildings the whole way.
Let's take Jefferson
and sneak up Rampart Blvd.
I agree with you, but we have to walk
that line between security and image.
They'll be over reporters
and photographers.
Every country in the world
is gonna be represented.
We can't start treating the Russians
like marked pigeons.
And Wilshire is the standard of living
we want to sell.
- Will the route be public?
- Yes.
- Where can we observe the exit gates?
- The tower.
Why don't you and I go there now?
We'll have another meeting at :.
- I expected you Wednesday.
- I hit a snowstorm outside of Denver.
No more separations, honey.
I promise you, no more separations...
...or my name isn't Henry Silverstein.
- Do you like the apartment?
- I like you.
Take a look. Do you like it?
And the car is in the garage.
- It's great.
- It's only $ a month.
The apartment, not the car.
It's kind of Waikiki pop, isn't it?
I was so afraid I wasn't going
to be able to handle everything.
I told the man
we couldn't afford a lease.
I just wanna call the agent.
Henry, I have a surprise for you.
The time is :.
Hello, Sam?
Henry Silverstein. Yeah.
Well, I just got in.
You got my letter? Right.
Look, when can we get together?
Come on, man, I just got in.
I wanna see my old lady.
Yeah. Well, just a minute.
Look, honey, he wants me
to come over tonight.
There's a recording session.
I can meet the composer.
Tomorrow, he's going
to a march in Tuscaloosa.
Tonight?
- Well, if you have to go...
- Maybe I should.
Hey, Sam, okay. What time?
At :. Right.
Okay, Sam. Later.
I just hope he's not a hillbilly.
Not yet. Close your eyes.
Come on, close your eyes.
Don't move. Don't look.
Now, turn around.
Dear husband:
Use this recorder in the best of health.
I know it will record all your poems
for posterity. Love, inger.
Honey, you're too much.
- Okay?
- Yeah.
I think somebody's
gotta case the airport.
- It'll be taken care of, don't worry.
- You can't do it. It's too risky.
- That's not my intention.
- I could do it.
I don't want anybody going out to
the airport. Miles, that goes for you too.
I have to memorise this whole system?
There's more than wires here.
One thing that worries me
about this bank...
...it's only got one entrance,
and it's in the airport.
In this case, it's an advantage.
- Can three of us do it?
- We need one more.
- Anybody I know?
- You will.
- Hi.
- How are you, Paul?
Lunch, one hour.
I hope this isn't an indication
of things to come.
Me too, baby.
I think there just isn't enough time.
We gotta go the th.
- Why the th?
- It's when the Russian arrives.
- What do you mean?
- February , the Russian premier...
...arrives at the Los Angeles Airport.
- Are you nuts?
Haven't you read the papers?
There's gonna be cops there.
They'll be all over the place.
On rooftops, basements, everywhere.
State security, federal security,
the State Department. Fuzz, fuzz, fuzz.
You won't be able to get in the airport
unless you're J. Edgar Hoover.
I didn't think you'd object
to taking a Russian partner.
- Come on, Eli.
- Look at it this way...
...we don't have to give him a split.
I told you the Russians were sending
someone to check security.
It's reciprocal. If the president goes
to Moscow, we can check their security.
On that alone, there's no argument.
Get that number.
- We just received schedule confirmation.
- Good.
I guess I'm bugged because
half the time, you keep us in the dark.
My orders are to reveal
as little as possible. I have orders too.
Only mine come from a slide rule
and an IBM machine. It's true.
For example, Gen. Mailenkoff
arrives tomorrow.
Do you know what the plan is
from the electronic brain? And I quote:
"Expose the general to the same
conditions planned for the premier."
- Hi, baby.
- What happened?
Another hillbilly.
I can't write for the hillbillies.
I've got nothing to say to them.
They're very weird.
But I got a great idea.
I drove all over L.A.,
trying to find the city.
But there's no city here.
It's just a giant village.
But here's the idea.
A poetic essay that deals
with the transient population.
All the people that come with smiles
and go with tears.
We'll do it with a thousand pictures.
We'll get you one
of those Polaroid cameras.
You wanna take snapshots at all
the various places: The air terminal...
We'll make a whole collage. That's it.
What's the matter?
- I can't take any pictures.
- Of course you can.
That's what I want. Just an amateur
going out and taking a lot of clicks.
What is it, baby?
I worried for you all day long
and half the night.
- I thought an accident happened.
- I'm sorry.
I was just gonna call the police.
- Thank you very much.
- Anytime.
Mr. Anderson, director of operations,
L.A. Airport.
Capt. Yates, Los Angeles Police.
This is Mr. Logan,
security chief here at the airport.
My assistant, Alfred Morgan.
Gentlemen, this is Gen. Mailenkoff.
We look forward to this visit.
Please look upon my early arrival...
...as a matter of protocol,
rather than distrust.
We will take you directly
to the Ambassador Hotel.
The route used today
will be the same as for the premier.
The exit gate will be a secret
until we're in motion.
Mr. Logan will telephone ahead.
The purpose of this is to ensure
an uninterrupted passage.
We have decided to use Gate today.
Only this immediate group knows that.
Operator, this is Mr. Logan.
Please stand by.
- All right, now.
- , please.
Operator, doesn't answer.
Please check your board.
- I had to give him an answer.
- What did you tell him?
I had to tell him the truth.
I can't figure it out.
gates and only Gate
sporting a noose.
The guard left because of a commotion.
Whoever started that ruckus knew
we were going to use Gate .
I can't wait any longer.
I've gotta call Washington.
Sorry, excuse me.
Here's a point of view,
but these pictures aren't very good.
- This is the bank entrance here.
- There it is, eh?
This is another building.
That's the inside of it.
- Just like it is in the plan.
- I'll be on this observation deck.
I'll be able to see you, and I'll wait until
you get into the international building.
I'll get it. I gotta get the papers anyhow.
See you later.
- You get the stuff?
- I got it all.
Wait a minute. Close the door
behind me. I gotta get the passports.
- You got it?
- The works.
This is for you, baby.
- How about that?
- Beautiful.
"Production number ,
scene . Jack Lemmon."
Well, why not?
I always said I was a leading-man type.
Mr. Said Abadin, please come
to the white courtesy telephone.
Well, it should work.
Let's just keep our fingers crossed.
I'll call you back.
George.
Gen. Mailenkoff may have
the premier bypass Los Angeles.
Know what that means?
They'll find out about that noose.
The press will have a field day.
Then it becomes a national problem.
Let's face it, one of us here
in this room is responsible.
Think back six weeks.
Where were you?
Who were you with?
What did you say?
These red wires cross
to the yellow wire.
The orange wires cross
to the green wire...
...the other green wire.
Blue wires cross to the green wire.
- Hey, Eddie.
- Hi. What's stewing? How's it going?
Passports. The extradition papers
are a work of art. And his yoghurt.
- What about the plane tickets?
- The what?
- Plane tickets.
- Oh, yeah. Here.
Baby, does that look good.
- Hi, baby.
- I'm sorry I'm late.
I got so involved taking the pictures.
I went down to the harbour.
Wait until you see them.
They're absolutely marvellous.
Here's the harbour.
Here's a big ship that arrived from Spain.
I did what you said.
I got the people's faces.
Look at them.
Aren't they marvellous?
Here, have a little champagne.
I'm a half a bottle ahead of you.
- What's wrong?
- I've got something I want to tell you.
- Come on, drink up.
- What happened?
Drink.
This little surprise package came.
It followed me from New Jersey.
- What is it?
- I'll tell you where I'm going when I know.
The Naval Reserve?
You've been drafted!
No, honey, I haven't been drafted.
My group's been called into active duty.
- You gassed up?
- Yeah. We gotta stop once before Tucson.
- Great. I'll pop you to a lunch, pops.
- Big deal. Big deal.
- Stop staring. Come to the point.
- I believe it was last Saturday...
...your sister called you.
- Right.
I took the call because you
were in the general's suite.
If you recall, she wanted to get
a good look at the Russians.
- It was really your nephews.
- And I said, the field's closed.
- Tell her the same thing.
- That's the problem.
- We can't make the same mistake twice.
- What do you mean?
If you'll remember,
you instructed me to tell her...
...that as the field was closed,
she could park on Sepulveda.
That way, they could watch
the limousine drive by.
Well, your sister told her cousin.
Her cousin told her mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law told a friend.
God knows who the friend told.
I checked it out. If you're going to pass
Sepulveda, you'd have to use Gate .
- Somebody else figured that out too.
- Are you telling me I'm responsible?
Well, we can hardly say
it was your sister's fault, sir.
Here you are.
Inspector, I'd appreciate it if you'd
remove the handcuffs before boarding.
Oh, yes.
- Have a nice flight, sir.
- Thank you.
Last call, flight ,
departing for Los Angeles...
... now boarding from Gate .
He's finally agreed to our plan,
with one exception.
When we decide which gate
and you phone ahead, use a pay phone.
The guard will answer on a pay phone.
We can't risk using the switchboard.
Or his sister.
- Inspector Noel Day and Harold Green.
- Yes.
- May I take your bag, sir?
- I'd prefer to keep them here, if I may.
This here's my prisoner. I'm taking him
back to Australia. Understand?
You're transferring to Gran Nacional
for Mexico City and Qantas for Sydney.
- Right.
- Have you confirmed?
Yes, that's all been taken care of.
However, I'm worried...
...about the crowds at the L.A. Airport
coming to see the Russian.
I was told there is some transportation
I could take to avoid the crowds.
I'll radio ahead to customer service.
I'm sure they can accommodate you.
Thank you very much, miss.
Excuse us, gentlemen.
Pardon me, please.
Have you noticed anything abnormal?
Are there enough police?
I don't see any police on that roof.
The Secret Service is on the roof.
We have police at Gate as a decoy.
- And there are plenty of police.
- Flight is arriving at :.
Thank you.
I was stunned when I got the telegram.
I called the base,
but it was all so confusing.
They suggested I come and see you
at the Red Cross.
I don't understand why it's a problem.
I wrote it all down.
I know he had to report
to the naval base in Norfolk.
I called three times,
every time the same thing.
I don't know how many people
I've talked to.
I've got to be in Boston tonight.
It's Mrs. Galbrace's funeral tomorrow.
Here is the telegram. It's from
Mr. Sinclair, Mrs. Galbrace's attorney.
I don't know how long I'll be in Boston,
but I've got to reach my husband.
Why is it so difficult?
Is it a military secret?
- Sgt. Coxe?
- I know it's been going on...
Sgt. Coxe, Inspector Day
from down under.
- How do you do?
- How do you do?
I'll leave you.
I have a flight arriving.
- It was a pleasure meeting you.
- Thank you very much.
- My plane leaves at :...
- Capt. Peterson's on the phone.
- He wants to know about that traffic jam.
- We're on it.
- There's the extradition papers.
- Yes, captain.
I'd like to leave my prisoner here,
if I may. I'd like to get a bite and a nip.
Yes, sir. We're working on it.
Thank you.
- Crenshaw's backed up.
- We're on it.
There're kids on the press deck.
They want a detail to remove them.
Where am I gonna get it?
Wait, take two cars off Gate .
- I apologise. It's a madhouse here.
- Yes, I quite understand, sergeant.
Howard. I've only got two lockups.
I'll have to put him in with a psycho...
...a guy that tried
to broad-jump the runways.
Any accommodations
ought to suit this one.
This is Inspector Day. The prisoner
is Harold Green. Put him in .
Come along, Harold.
I'll be back for him
in an hour and a half.
Sergeant, the captain is screaming
about the traffic jam.
- It's backing up onto the freeway.
- All right.
Yes, captain. He'll be right with you.
I'm sorry, here. Excuse me.
Don't alarm anyone. There's a couple
of fanatics hiding in the lower level.
Anderson to Tower, I read you.
Over and out.
The estimated time of arrival
is now :.
- Pickets are forming in front of the bank.
- Better get a detail over there.
Let's see, yellow with orange,
green with purple, blue with black.
- It's minutes after .
- Green with orange.
- Come on.
- Stop it.
All right, folks. You have to move on
and break this up.
I'm sorry, but you have to move on.
You have every right to picket,
but it's gotta be outside the main gate.
So let's move on.
All right, men. Pick them up
and get them out.
The rest of you people, move on
or get on back of here. Let's go.
I'm gonna pick you up
and take you out too.
Come on, move on out.
That way or this way, but let's go.
Come on. One way or the other.
Come on, lady, let's go.
The yellow wires
are on the phone circuit.
- There are more than I expected.
- That's all we need.
Now.
That's it!
Open it.
- Open it.
- Lf you open it, he's not gonna hurt you.
Open it!
This is the last time I'm asking you.
Take it easy. Can't you see he's scared?
Open it!
Now, don't move.
Money.
The airplane will be entering
the flight pattern in about five minutes.
Let's go.
Take off the uniform.
Flight has entered the pattern
and is approaching the downwind leg.
- Did you check the phone?
- Ten minutes ago.
- Better check it again.
- Okay.
Tower from Anderson. Over.
The phones are dead.
- Tower, this is Anderson.
- This is the Tower.
Flight ...
...give them a holding pattern. Over.
- Tower, do you read me?
- We'll give flight a circling pattern.
This is Anderson. The phones are dead.
I want you to check them immediately.
Bloody right.
He does not understand why
the plane has not been announced yet.
- The pay phones are dead.
- The pay...?
Get me Sgt. Coxe, please.
Hello, sergeant.
- You better come inside the counter.
- Thank you very much.
Hey, watch it. Get him.
Hold it.
- There's a picket line by Satellite .
- Okay, I'll take care of it.
Send the C cars to Satellite .
- Send six patrolmen to Satellite .
- Right, sergeant.
- Sergeant?
- I'm sorry.
- Time is running quite short.
- Yeah. Howard?
- Get the Australian prisoner in .
- I assigned six men to Satellite .
- The sheriff's post is on the phone.
- I'll be with him in a minute.
You should have been here
the day Elizabeth Taylor arrived.
We've got men out there
from every precinct in the city.
- Here's your prisoner now.
- I would like to see the show.
- What time's your plane leave?
- At :.
- Hope he didn't give you a fuss.
- No, like a mouse.
That's a bad sign.
Well, look at him.
Never says a word. It's always inside.
Sergeant, normally I wouldn't ask
this of you, seeing your predicament...
...but could I get a hand
until we're on the plane?
- Yeah. You better go with him.
- Thank you very much, sergeant.
- Maybe we'll meet in Australia.
- You never know.
- I got it.
- I'll get it. You've got your hands full.
- It's heavy.
- Well, all the bloody evidence is in it.
We can't keep the premier
up there forever.
It won't take long to check it out.
Besides, maybe some crackpot's onto us.
Officer Howard, I'd hate to wait
in that long bloody line.
You won't have to.
It's inconceivable and incompetent.
The premier has circled twice.
- Please tell us what's going on.
- Will you just give us a chance?
Are you sure?
Have them report in when they get there.
The trouble's coming from the bank.
- This is Inspector Day.
- Oh, yes.
Officer Howard, what month
were you born?
- February.
- February. Pisces?
I've got a moon in Pisces.
Warm, romantic...
...sensitive. A bit inclined
toward fantasy, though.
Oh, yes. Generous?
- Are you married?
- I have two kids.
- Boys or girls?
- One each.
I envy you.
My wife can't have children. She's...
Your tickets are in order.
The stewardess has been alerted.
- Have a pleasant trip.
- Gracias.
- Good luck.
- Officer Howard, thank you very much.
Yes, I'm waiting.
Well, put him on.
This is Anderson.
- What's going on?
- There's been a hold up at the bank.
Thank God.
Now will you bring the premier down?
- You must be Inspector Day.
- That's right.
- Come right in.
- Thank you.
D, E.
We want a roadblock at every crossing.
Don't you think I know it?
- There's been a holdup at the bank.
- What?
Traffic jam or not,
do the best you can.
Get me sheriff's post . I want you
to hold two details and stand by.
We're contacting all departing planes
plus any plane that left recently. Okay?
All right. Now, let me give you
a description of the two men.
There will be a delay in boarding,
about five or minutes.
I don't think it will bother him any.
Gracias, señorita.
I can't hear you over this crowd.
Repeat the second...
Repeat the second description.
- May I have your keys, please?
- Why? Is something wrong?
I don't know, but they're checking
all the luggage. Your keys, please.
Thank you.
Ticket, sir.
- Fine. Gate , sir.
- My keys, please.
Gran Nacional flight
for Mexico City...
... now loading from Gate .
Your key, sir?
- Your key, sir.
- No.
It's not locked.
That's Gate , sir.
Thank you.
They're checking the uniforms now.
They're probably
from some theatrical house.
We're checking the flights
at the other end.
Any plane that's taken off
in the last hour.
Last call for Gran Nacional flight
for Mexico City.
Now departing from Gate .
All passengers should be aboard.
Fasten your seat belts, please.
Fasten your seat belts.
Fasten your seat belt, please.
- Seat belt.
- Fasten your seat belts, please.
Fasten your seat belt.
Gate .
Gate , you've got the hot seat.
Remind me to buy him a drink someday.
All I wanna do now is spend it.
Yes.
Yes, it all depends on what you need.
All right, thank you.
I'd like a copy of the teletype.
There's no question. There was a Henry
Silverstein, but that was six weeks ago.
There's two Henry Silversteins
in Norfolk. One is ...
...and the other has been
stationed there for two years.
I had no reason to doubt her...
...but I checked with Sinclair.
She inherited the entire estate.
It's none of my business,
but he said it was close to $ million.
