Odd Man Out Page #3

"Armed raid on mill.

Cashier killed in struggle.

"Wounded assailant still at large."

Killed? Poor Johnny.

May heaven protect him.

Pat, Nolan, Murphy, get to headquarters.

Go the back way.

Dennis, may I go with you?

No. Tell headquarters

so they can take action.

- Right you are.

- Good luck.

Do you think this will deceive them?

The police are looking for a wounded

man. They may take me for Johnny.

- It'll give him a chance to get away.

- By yourself?

They don't know he's there.

Too many will attract attention.

For a long time now,

there's been no serious trouble

but tonight the police

will be everywhere.

- Take a few men with you.

- No. It's better this way.

- Take somebody you can trust.

- Come on, finish it.

Dennis...let me come with you.

- Why?

- It's something I want to do.

Something for yourself

and not the organisation.

Sooner or later the police will get him.

Let me have him until then.

As long as he lives,

he'll belong to the organisation.

- Always the organisation.

- Yes.

- Wait here in case he comes back.

- There's Granny.

Stay here.

Could I see your identity card,

please?

Right. Thank you, now.

Identity card? Thank you.

Come on. Through here.

- Pat! Where are you taking us?

- Theresa's house.

- There'll be trouble if we go there.

- Just till the road's clear.

- What else are we to do?

- Go to headquarters.

- Go on, you, and try!

- Come on! Come on!

We're in trouble enough

without asking for more.

She'll give us a drink or something

and a bite to eat maybe.

- I wouldn't trust her.

- You wouldn't trust nobody.

- Don't you worry.

- Steps like the mill.

Keep your mouth shut about that.

Just keep it shut.

- Theresa, how are ye?

- Pat, Murphy and Nolan.

Come in. Give me your coats and hats.

Come in and let me see you.

I'm away to me mother's, Pat.

Sorry, Theresa, I can't stay.

- He was in a terrible hurry.

- We just dropped in for a minute.

You're not leaving

without having a drink?

Give me your coats. It's barely six

and plenty of time for something to eat.

For your own peace of mind,

you'd better keep these handy.

Come on into the warm.

In here. Come on.

- Somebody will see us, Lenny.

- It's all right here, Molly.

- No. I...

- What's wrong?

I don't want to.

You said you would.

Yes, I know

but I've changed my mind.

Anyway, Lenny...I've got a sty.

I haven't seen you for two days.

Where else can we go?

You'll see, Lenny.

We'll have a place of our own.

Lenny, there's somebody here.

No.

There is somebody.

Put it out! Clear off!

It's that fella - Johnny.

Lenny. Lenny, come on.

You'd better not get mixed up in this.

The fella came rushing out shooting.
