Union Station Page #2

Synopsis: Secretary Joyce Willecombe grows suspicious of two men boarding her train and is referred to 'Tough Willy' Calhoun, head of the Union Station police. The all-seeing, no-nonsense Calhoun is initially skeptical, but the men (who escape) prove to be involved in a kidnap case. Calhoun calls in equally tough police Inspector Donnelly, but the ruthless kidnapper's precision planning stays one jump ahead of them. Most of the action centers around bustling Union Station.

But, I may as well be honest. The people

you have to deal with are liars.

They never keep their word to anyone

about anything, they won't to you.

I'm going to pay them.

Whatever they ask, I'm going to pay.

If they give you that chance, sure.

All I ask is don't protect them.

Promise anything! Try to get your

daughter back but cooperate with us.

I can't discuss that now.

I want you to stay out of

this until I get her back.

When the time comes we'll stay out,

but this isn't the time Mr Murchison

They won't make a move until you

get the key and the instructions.

We're gonna put the suitcase back in the

locker in case one of them returns tonight

to check things, or in the morning when

you're supposed to open the locker.

Now, if that happens,

we'd like your permission to put

the man under observation.

We'll do it quietly. I've got good,

efficient workers here at the station

- The City Police are here.

- I'm sure that we can guarantee...

My daughter. You will

guarantee my daughter?

No, sir. I'm afraid there's

no one that can do that.

Let us handle these people, we worked

together before, we spent our lives at it.

We usually know before the reporters,

we got till the morning.

No, take your time on it Mr Murchison.

Nobody is going to push you.

You're the only one who has the

right to decide, she's your child.

We'll need a full description of what

Lorna wore today, and lots of pictures.

There aren't any.

Not since she lost her sight.

Any kind of pictures. Old photographs

or movies. It'll help us.

Give us a chance to study

physical characteristics.

If we have those things,

it'll save time.

She was 12 there, nearly 13.

It might be better if I were

at home, Inspector.

Maybe there'll be a phone call

before the mail delivery.

That's enough. Turn on the light.

Now, keep in mind what you've

seen about the girl.

I want to know all about everyone who

comes in contact with the Murchison's.

The butcher, the baker,

the candlestick maker, everybody.

Do it quietly. Don't scare the rats.

We've got about 10 hours before

that key is delivered in the mail.

Ross, Eddie will show you where

he lost those two guys.

Halloran and Moreno,

you better go with him.

I want you to fine comb that whole area.

Fay, Gottschalk, we'll need you here.

Eddie, when you're finished,

you and Stein go down to headquarters

and look through the record bureau.

Might be able to pick 'em out.

Looks like it's gonna be a long night.

She could go home for a few hours.

Well, let's play it safe. You don't mind

staying, do you? -No, I wouldn't sleep.

Look, I'm gonna be watching from

over there. If you see anything don't

wait to make sure, tell Fay right away.
