Crime Wave Page #2

you're crazy.

Not after what he did to me.

I wouldn't help him or any of his friends.

If he rang my doorbell, I'd run, I'd hide.

I hate his stinking guts.

I've been the pipeline at the department

ever since I was paroled.

You shouldn't have picked me up

in the middle of the night

and brought me down here.

You know what'll happen to me when

them boys find out that I'm the pigeon?

We want you to buzz around

and see what you can pick up

off the grapevine.

Then get me some other way.

Don't send cops out to get me out of bed.

I live in a decent neighborhood.

I've got a good job.

Let me keep it, will you?

He's right. You shouldn't have

brought him in. Let him go.

All units, all units.

Car used by three escaped convicts

who held up gas station

and shot an officer

has been found abandoned

at the junction of Glenwood and Highland.

This is a stolen car.

Bloodstains on the front seat indicate

that one of the suspects is wounded.

Use caution in apprehension

as these men are armed and dangerous.

Kelly, dig into the files quick

and get me a list of the ex-cons

living in that vicinity

within a two-mile radius of 7th and Maple.

- Hop to it.

- Yes, sir.

Car 46, car 46.

Sergeant Ryan, call dispatcher.

Sergeant Ryan, call dispatcher.

Unit 1A-16, 1A-16, code 6.

Figaro and Olympic.

You own this Rx hospital?

No, I work there.

- Yeah. What's your name?

- Hessler. Otto Hessler.

What are you doing out this time of night?

I went to pick up a patient.

Unit 1A-14, 1A-14.

1300 block, South Flower, a 390 fight.

All right, thanks. Go ahead.

Here's some more.

Here's another one who lives near there.

Bannerman, safecracker.

He used to be the best box-man

on the West Coast.

He did time with our three upstate.

No, they'd never contact him.

He's become a hopeless drunk.

They'd know they couldn't trust him.

Here's a prospect.

Fordyce. You'd better keep abreast

of the times, Kelly.

They've got this guy in the county jail.

Yeah, now here's one.

If I was on the run and needed a cover,

I might contact a lad like this.

Steve Lacey, did five in Quentin,

paroled two years ago.

He'd have known those three up there.

Lacey's kept pretty straight

since he got out.

Yeah, I know.

Sober, industrious,

expert mechanic on airplane engines.

A pilot before they sent him up.

Now works at a private airport

in Sunland, right?

- Right.

- Call him.

Don't answer it, Steve. Let it ring.

He'll just want what they all want.

Let him think you're away

and that you're not here

and he'll leave you alone.

Once you've done a bit,

nobody leaves you alone.

- Somebody's always on your back.

- Steve.

No answer.
