as well tell them the whole story.

You won't get this service every day.

- That's okay. We'll sit.

- Sorry, buddy. Everybody out.

- Let's check the seal.

- Yeah, yeah.

What's all that for?

I just follow orders, fella.

That guy looks like he's

trying to make his own road.

A fella could get hurt that way.

- Okay, Dave?

- All secure.

- What happened to him?

- He got hurt.

You're okay.

Say, um, I've been having

a little engine trouble.

Would it goof anything if I

pulled over and had a look at it?

Pull over there. About 25, 30 yards.

Thanks a lot.

Let's move.

So, they give me 10 lousy years.

Good behavior, I'm out in 6.

That's where I read all about Rio.

No kidding.

You ought to come down there with us.

We take you now to John Oliver

in Salt Lake City...

...for further news on

the gold train robbery.

The first break in the fabulous gold

robbery occurred about an hour and...

a half ago, when a part

of the $10 million...

Watch it! Watch it!

One of the bandits was shot and

killed while attempting to run...

- ...through a police roadblock.

- What's the matter? You deaf?

I wonder how they found that out.

You suppose they know

which way we're heading?

Well, if you'll clam up for a

while, maybe we'll find out!

The claimed man was tentatively

identified as Roland "Rolly" Adams.

Police have intensified their search

for the apparently abandoned van...

...and crane truck...[Click.]

I wonder how they found Rolly.

No wonder you got set up so many

times. You think cops are dumb!

Skeets?

Look, just relax, will you?

Keep your eyes on the road.

Maybe we should pull

over and wait for Eddie.

Maybe he'll want to change the plans.

Maybe you'll keep quiet

for a while, huh?

A huge dragnet for the white stocking-

faced bandits has now spread...

...to 23 states, with still no trace of

the truck believed to be carrying...

...the remainder of

the $10 million in gold.

The engineer and fireman of the

train, injured during the raid...

...and the guards who were rendered

unconscious by the gas fumes...

...have all been released from

the hospital at Vandervere, Utah.

In an effort to trap the elusive

gold bandits, police have tightened...

...the web by calling in reservists,

thus allowing them to establish an...

...unprecedented number

of roadblocks, covering...

...every highway and back

road as far east as Ohio.

Authorities have asked all trucking

companies to put as few vehicles on...

...the road as possible, in an attempt

to narrow down the truck traffic.

We're right, aren't we?

If we wasn't, I'd have told you.

There it is.

Hey, fella:
where's the, uh...?

Right around the back, to the left.
