Union Station Page #5

Synopsis: Secretary Joyce Willecombe grows suspicious of two men boarding her train and is referred to 'Tough Willy' Calhoun, head of the Union Station police. The all-seeing, no-nonsense Calhoun is initially skeptical, but the men (who escape) prove to be involved in a kidnap case. Calhoun calls in equally tough police Inspector Donnelly, but the ruthless kidnapper's precision planning stays one jump ahead of them. Most of the action centers around bustling Union Station.

Marge and I will handle this alone.

I didn't say I wanted to quit.

I can talk over the angles with you, can't

I? You're always preaching about details

I set the details, all of them, two

weeks ago. Long before that.

5 years in that cell, 5 years

for 86 bucks in a stickup!

No more coffee and cake

setups for me! Nothing!

Nobody stops me this time!

Make up your mind!

Okay.

Five minutes before you phone me.

I'll see you back at the place.

- An hour or less.

- Yeah...

The man sitting down...

facing the first phone booth.

- What about him?

- He's one of them.

Fay, cover the guy opposite

the first phone booth.

Ross, cover the guy opposite the first

phone booth and notify everybody else.

Nothing we can do now.

No way to trace that kind of call.

They're down there telling him

how much and when and where.

And he'll pay it, like they ask,

because she's his child.

They'll give their word

she'll be back okay.

The dirty rats...

Inspector, it's Calhoun.

Ya ya! We know about the call,

saw it through the window.

Oh, save him, Calhoun.

No no no. Don't say a word to him or a

put a hand on him till starts back here.

Okay.

Your kid's life depends

on your cooperation.

The price is 100,000.

And get this, use the same suitcase

as I put in the locker.

Be at the information booth in the main

concourse at noon tomorrow

with the money.

Everything straight now?

I understand.

Murchison's leaving.

You better get upstairs too, they may

have somebody else watching.

I've got a message for you.

- Sorry, you made a mistake, friend.

- It's from Gus. Gus Hadder.

Not me. I don't know him.

- Where's Lorna Murchison?

- Lorna who? Who are you talkin' about?

I may have to beat your brains out!

I'll let you decide that.

What you do with her?

You and that big gorilla kill her?

I don't know what you're talkin'...

about!

We're wasting time, Lieutenant. Let's

take him where it's nice and quiet.

Take him down to the train shed.

I'll be down there in a few minutes.

Let go! Take your hands...

No no no. Take your time.

There's no big rush.

I may as well tell you, there's no way

for us to trace that telephone call.

He said if I wanted to hear about Lorna

I'd better just listen, and not rag it out.

- So, I... listened.

- How much they want?

$100,000.

What arrangements did you make?

Down there at the information

booth, in this concourse.

I'm to be there at noon tomorrow

with the money. -A package?

He wants it in the overnight bag,

the one you people found in the locker.

He's going to send for it but the

messenger won't know anything.

He'll be watched, and if anyone talks

to him or tries to follow he said...

He said I'll never see Lorna again.
