Open up. The police.

Go on! Open up!

Hey!

Stay where you are!

Don't anybody move.

The other door!

Open up!

Open up!

Open up!

What's going on

here?

Sorry, Mr. Morse.

You did that

too late.

Everybody gone crazy

all of a sudden?

Who sent you?

We got a warrant-

Violation 974.

Milletti's office.

What's going on,

Mr. Morse?

That's all right.

Take it easy.

Take it easy.

It'll be all right.

Policeman:

now listen, everybody.

We're going downstairs quietly,

you understand?

In single file.

There's a patrol wagon

at the curb.

Who are you

calling, Mr. Morse?

Hello! Hello!

Ruddy, please.

Leo Morse.

Who do you think

you're pushing around here?

Ruddy? Guess what.

The whole place

is full of police.

No, they dropped in for tea!

Never mind.

I'm taking it easy!

Milletti, yes!

Where are

your handcuffs?

My lawyer will

meet us with a key.

This lady was just visiting

here to see a friend.

She doesn't work for me.

That's got nothing

to do with me.

Please,

Mr. Lieutenant,

I can't ride

in the patrol wagon.

It's too narrow,

and it's too dark!

Don't put him

in the patrol wagon.

Put him in a taxi.

I'll pay the fare.

Taxi? We're not going

to a dance, Mr. Morse.

The wagon's

no good for him.

He's a sick man.

He's got a complex.

Claustrophobia.

I can't help it.

I got it!

When he was

a taxi driver,

His cab fell in

the river with him.

He got a disease

under the water, a fear.

He can't stand being cramped

in a small, dark space.

He should have

thought of that

Before he began

committing violations.

We'll let him ride

up front in the open.

Come on.

Don't give

your right name

So your mother won't

read it in the paper.

Oh, please, Mr. Morse.

Mary, what took you

so long to answer?

Has my brother

called yet?

Well, he will,

the dumb mule.

No, Im still

at Tucker's apartment.

I'll be here.

Yes.

Nothing yet,

Joe?

No, Ben,

nothing yet.

But he'll call.

The spot I put him in,

Where else

can he go for help?

Let's get on

with this.

Sit down.

I've got $25,000 for you

to play with, two & two.

Will that

be enough?

You'll get change.

Does he know exactly

what he has to do?

I been telling him

all day.

He knows it

like a poem.

What number

do we want hit?

776. Don't worry,

Mr. Morse.

It will come out 776.

One-I throw in

the last layoff bet

On the third race.

Johnson's lined up the tote

clerks to help me there.

Two-I throw in

enough of a bet

To make the last three digits

on the odds pay-Off

Come out 7, 7, and 6.

Three-All the change

that's left over from the 25

You give me, I give

back to Johnson,

Or Im in trouble

with Johnson.

Four-The minute

it's 776 on the tote board,
