Nothing,

I'm going out.

Out where?

Out, that's all.

Out.

Fred:
Johnnie,

wait a minute.

I want to

show you something.

You can't

show me nothing.

What happened, Fred?

Oh, Johnnie's

sore at me.

We had a little argument

this afternoon

But I guess this will

straighten it out.

These are

railroad tickets,

To Boston.

Oh, Fred!

We're leaving

Friday morning at 11:00.

That gives us

3 whole days

to get married.

There are 3 of them.

Yeah.

One's for Johnnie.

I got him a job

with the company.

Fred, that's

the greatest thing

That's ever

happened to us.

Well, I hope so.

Let's go find him.

I wanna tell him.

Hey,

Ain't it pretty

risky pulling this

so close to home?

I'm taking

all the risks.

You stay right here

and keep your eyes open.

I got myself

a gun, too.

Where'd you get it?

It's Fred Burkes.

I took it

from his room.

When?

Tonight,

he's out with Madge.

I can put it back

without him even

knowing about it.

Crazy fool, you

wouldn't know how

to use it anyway.

You stay right here.

Hey, get out of there.

One yap out of you

and I'll plug ya.

Get out of bed,

I got a job for you.

Come on, come on,

come on.

Through that door.

Get over to that safe.

Open it up.

What's in that

tin box?

Cash.

Get it out of there.

[Alarm rings]

[Knocking]

Who is it?

Frank.

Shut that door

and turn on them lights.

Where you been?

I had some business

to take care of.

What happened?

What happened to you?

That's what I want to know.

Gosh, when that bell

started ringing

I was scared stiff,

so I beat it.

Look, Frank,

gimme Burkes gun

So I can

put it back, huh.

I've been going

nuts thinking

something went wrong.

Hand it over so

I can put it back

While he's still

out with Madge, huh.

Come on, come on,

quit stalling.

Gimme the gun.

What gun?

What's the idea?

You didn't

give me no gun.

What are you

trying to pull?

You heard me, I said

you didn't give me no gun.

And you didn't

see me tonight,

And you ain't

seeing me now.

Get it?

You talk as if

you're in a jam.

You didn't...

ain't my fault

he got plugged.

He put up a fight.

Is he hurt bad?

Yeah, dead.

I got away clean,

nobody saw me.

Murder--

With Freds gun.

Yeah.

Yeah,

with Freds gun.

And you

give it to me.

You took it from

the copper's room.

Don't forget that.

Where is it?

It's in

the pawnshop.

What did you want to

leave it there for?

They'll find it.

They'll trace it to Fred,

they'll pin it on him!

I'm gonna

get that gun--

Now wait a minute.

You sit down

and listen to me.

The worst he'll get

is a pick up.

He's out with Madge,

ain't he?

He's got an alibi,

air tight.

All I'll get if they

put the finger on me
