Union Station Page #3

Now that's important, do you understand?

That's the fourth time you've told me.

Drink some coffee, Miss.

It'll be a long, slow wait.

If they show at all

it won't be till morning

when Murchison comes to open the locker.

Never mind the "ifs" if Miss Willecombe

might notice something about the car,

the license number, anything,

we'd have something to bite into.

I know it's my fault, Mr Fay. You see,

I had those two men right under my nose

but I didn't follow them. I was too busy

giving my name and address to someone.

- Mr Fay!

- What is it?

There he is, behind that column.

He's headed for the elevated

trains, Inspector.

- Lt Calhoun and Fay are tailing him.

- Okay.

Swanson! I want every L station along

the line covered by plainclothes men.

Give me a new face at every stop

until the man gets off. Okay.

85th Street!

Central Avenue!

Switch off next stop!

Railcar for Stockyard Station!

- That's a good way to break your neck.

- Forgot to change in time.

Fullerton!

Exchange Place!

Don't shoot! We need him!

What instructions did Murchison

get in that kidnap letter?

That he contact them at 6:00 in front of

the information booth, the east concourse.

- They're gonna use my station?

- Ya, they're going to use your station.

Miss Willecombe, we'll want you later.

We didn't want to lose that man but...

could be a good thing.

We'll keep it quiet.

In an hour or two we'll know all there is

to know about him. Maybe get some leads.

It's going to be all right.

Take Miss Willecombe home.

It could be a break like

Inspector Donnelly said.

He's put police around the dead man's

hotel and... someone on the phone.

Anyone tries to get through,

they'll take him!

I suppose that's the best

way to look at it now.

Try not to think of what will happen when

that man doesn't get back to the others.

I wish I hadn't said anything about

those men on the train.

We should have stayed out of it, all of

us. That's what Mr Murchison wanted.

- Men like Donnelly have had years and...

- Yes, I know...

...make sure the railroad

company isn't sued!

Leave kidnappers to men who

know how to handle them.

Well that's what you told him and now what?

- You have no right to... - Why doesn't

someone think about Lorna Murchison?

She's all that counts.

I don't care how many kidnappers you

catch, whether they're caught or not.

I care about her.

We all do, Miss Willecombe.

Okay, fine. Let 'em use the station.

Get it all figured out.

It's gonna be crowded with weekend

traffic, worse than yesterday.

Well, the more people the better.

And scatter an army down there,

nobody'll ever notice them.

Now only four people would
