Suddenly Page #2

in Wetherby.

- What's that code word again?

- 'Hangover'.

'Hangover'...

Hello, this is Tod Shaw at Suddenly.

I wanna' speak to Captain Aaron.

There's number 20.

The 66th crossing.

Hello Captain Aaron, this is Tod Shaw.

I've got a message here;

the code word is 'Hangover'.

I'm gonna' need five of your cars,

two men and one Thompson gun

to each car, and...

Oh, you did?

Swell. Right, thanks.

They got the same message. Aaron

has the show on the road already.

Gee!

Those state cops don't fool around!

No, they don't.

Say, you didn't spill this, did you?

It says confidential.

Let's keep it that way. I'll run over to

Kaplan's garage. Back in a minute.

- Hello Sheriff, be right with you.

- That's not soon enough, lz.

- So?

- I want the black Cadillac at 4:30pm.

- The limousine?

- Park it at the station, backed in.

Somebody getting married,

like the sheriff?

Don't be funny, police business.

Don't tell anyone.

I don't get it.

You're not supposed to.

- Mr. Carney?

- That's right.

- My name's Shaw.

- Get my message?

- What message?

- 'Hangover'.

May I see

your credentials?

This is Wilson.

- Hi.

- Haggerty, Schultz and Kelly.

Glad to make your acquaintance.

I got your message.

You're a careful man,

sheriff.

Not always. This seemed

like a good time to be.

We always have to be.

May I see your credentials?

I got a limousine ordered for 4:30.

It'll be parked right here.

Good.

State police have five cars

on the road from Wetherby.

- Excellent.

- I guess that's about it.

Not quite...

You can still be

of help to us...

We'll have to check those

stores facing the station.

Mr Carney, I know every

proprietor here. Believe me.

Look, I'm sure they're OK.

It's just routine.

Alright boys...

We'll park a limousine between

the tracks when the special arrives.

Pretty rough in there.

Maybe, easier to cover.

All state police cars can go in there too.

Alright.

Oh, er...

Who lives up there on the hill?

Pop Benson. His grandson

and his daughter- in-law.

We'll check it.

Ha ha, Mr. Carney that's the one place

in this town that doesn't need checking.

Pop Benson used to be in the Secret

Service before a bad ticker retired him.

Pop Benson!

You don't mean Peter Benson?

- That's right.

- Well I'll be a monkey's uncle.

What do you mean?

Pete Benson used

to be my old boss.

No, how do you like that?

Mr Shaw, he'll be the last one

in the world to object... Pete Benson.

Probably a rectifier

or a tube.

Please call Jud, and ask him to fix it

before you wreck it?

Wreck it! Now you listen here,

I built a television transmitter in '38,

before you even knew

what television was.

Yes, but did it work?
