Where are you

taking him?

To the federal building, Connie.

Come on, dad.

Let's go.

Tell mother

Ill be down in a minute.

We'll be waiting downstairs,

Mr. Driscoll.

I wish I had a daughter

with her guts.

You tell your story

to the world, bill,

And a lot of frightened witnesses are

gonna crawl out from under the rocks.

Are you crazy?

Ten minutes before you get me

on the stand, they'll chop her!

I know how they operate.

And so do you.

No, John.

My family's dead

while Im alive.

God forgive me.

Bill!

Devlin.

Who?

Tolly Devlin.

From here on,

When you make

a pick-Up,

Bring the money here,

immediately.

What, after each one?

Yeah.

Can't have our collectors

walking around with a big bundle.

It's always an invite

for lone wolf hijackers.

What are you worried about?

I got Gus with me.

Uh uh. I been makin'

the rounds with you

So the customers

get to know you.

Now you make

your pick-Ups alone.

Devlin, here's

tomorrow's route.

Gus, Mr. Gela's

lookin' for you.

Come on, Ill give you

a cook's tour

Of how the higher echelon

works upstairs.

Hey, what do you got?

A swimmin' pool out there?

Yeah.

On a roof?

Sure.

Well, let's

take a swim.

Nope, it's just

for the big wheels

And underprivileged kids.

Once every week, national

projects turns it over to them.

And every month

there's a swim meet.

Well, Tolly.

Mr. Gela.

I haven't seen you

all week.

Gettin' along okay?

They've been keeping me

on the run, you know.

Hey, that's

a nice suit you got.

Gus's tailor.

Hey...

that, uh... bookkeeper

That dropped out

of circulation.

Menken?

Yeah, Mr. Menken.

Find him.

See you boys.

As I was saying,

the chamber of commerce

Gave us a plaque

for sponsoring youth clubs.

I even acted as lifeguard

for the kids one day.

I liked that.

Menken's gotta be

the man.

He was the only one who paid

the chief every week, personally.

What about

his family?

Not a trace.

I just gave Gus

the assignment.

Send for

the boys.

Ask Smith and Gunther

to come to the pool.

I've been on the phone

To at least nine cities

in the past hour.

About Driscoll?

No, they know

he's my headache.

They're disappointed

in your figures.

I'm stretchin' the rubberband

from coast to coast.

I want to hear it snap.

There are at least 13 million

kids in this country

Between the ages of 10 and 15.

Don't tell me the end

of a needle has a conscience.

Put more field men to work

around the schools.

Mr. Gunther.

The mister

means trouble.

Real trouble.

The coast wants

to know why

You haven't made any headway

with the longshoremen.

Strong arm isn't helping

the teamster situation.

It's the unions themselves.

Locals are kickin' our men
