 From Hollywood. It's time now for Johnny dollars speaking lieutenant Garcia's office Johnny. You're the one I was trying to reach. This is Carla Monty Oh, I was gonna phone you later. What's happening? Have they found Eddie yet? Not yet But the police picked up one of his friends Mario Centauri's Mario. I know him Yes, he just made a statement admitting it he says Eddie is the one who planned the whole thing No, Garcia and I are pretty sure he's telling the truth I'm sorry Carla. I'm coming down to headquarters Johnny. There's no use. There's nothing you can do here It won't help you're better off at home now, please Okay, Carla tonight and every week day night Bob Bailey in the transcribed adventures of the man with the action-packed expense account America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator us truly Johnny dollar from special investigator Johnny dollar location, Los Angeles, California To the home office moto guarantee insurance company Hartford, Connecticut Assignment the silver blue matter expense account final page $100,000 worth of fur coats silver blue minks stolen in a warehouse robbery and still missing a Night watchman slugged during the robbery by one of the teenage gangs still lying in a coma unable to speak and Red Weller a man who tried to speak lay in the county morgue stabbed to death in a dark alley But now one of the gang had been arrested a 17 year old named Mario Centauri's and he finally talked Sitting in Garcia's office. I read Mario's statement through for the second time. What do you think Johnny? I think the kid was telling the truth Eddie Monty scraped up enough money to buy that second-hand panel truck and then talked the other kids into knocking over the warehouse That ties in with what Eddie sister said, but he kept the truck a secret hadn't told her about it And also the fact that Eddie seems to be a born leader type They even mentioned it in one of his former records of arrest. Yeah, I think we can buy it that Eddie Monty is the leader of the gang All right, they picked their night They cased the place from Red Weller's lunchroom across the street and as soon as the prowl car passed they made their move They got the watchman Albert Crisman to open the door by showing him a fake telegram through the window That's another thing that checks out Mario's story Johnny Mario claims. He's the one who showed the telegram That's right Crisman kept saying kid with a mark on his arm and Mario's got a bad scar on his left wrist That's what I mean. It checks out Mario didn't know what Crisman had told us All right, so they got inside and then according to Mario's version it was Eddie Monty who slugged the watchman Probably through then they jumped the other watchman in the dark and started hauling out the furs loading them into the truck of Eddie's They knew they had 45 minutes before the prowl car came back through By that time they finished and split up Eddie driving the truck away alone and the others disappearing on foot I think that's about the size of it and I think Mario's telling the truth when he says neither he nor any of the others know where Eddie planned to hide out the truck And Red Weller according to Mario was murdered by another gang member. What was his name? Chewie Morel Yeah, well if that's true Eddie Monty is at least clean on the murder charge If it's true all you can tag him on is robbery and assault on that watchman I'm kind of glad of it Johnny. I feel sorry for that sister of his So do I She's a good kid and she's carrying a real load of guilt Thinks that she's responsible in some way. Oh, she was only 19 herself when their folks died How could she be expected to hold him in line and especially in that district? Yeah She's on her way down here by the way. Carla Monty. Yeah. Yeah. I tried to talk her out of it Oh, maybe she's as well off hanging around here though as she is waiting alone in that apartment It's a rough deal for her no matter where she waits Well, at least we can tell her her brother's not in quite as deep as we Excuse me. Yeah, sure Garcia speaking Good. Well, who's the other one? Yeah, yeah, bring them on in and book them. I'll talk to them later and now we What When All right, keep in touch with me The boys just picked up Chewie Morel and the other two That leaves us one to go. Yeah, the big one Eddie Monty He's even bigger now, Johnny What do you mean that watchman Eddie slugged albert krisman, what about him? He just died So it was a different thing we had to tell Carla when she arrived at headquarters Not that her brother would probably get off on a lesser charge But instead that an apb was out that every officer in town had been warned be on the lookout for Eddie Monty age 19 armed and dangerous Wanted for murder Expense account item 15 12 dollars and 50 cents ran on a hired car One of Garcia's boys was certain that the background appearing in the photograph of Eddie's truck was somewhere in his district But he couldn't tag the exact spot So I decided to cruise that area street by street Carla Monty Eddie's sister went along with me There's an alley off to the right Johnny. It might be worth a look. Yeah, it runs back toward a lumber yard there That could be a lumber yard in the background of that photograph Well, we'll give it a try This isn't it Johnny Sally makes a right angle turn there before it even gets to the lumber yard Oh, we may as well check it on through it seems to run clear on down to the railroad yards Please let us find him If it's the police, he'll fight And he'll kill someone else be killed himself Maybe it's out of your hands now. Carla. It's gotta work itself out in its own way There's nothing much anybody can do to stop her to change it. I know Johnny I keep trying to fool myself All the time I know well all you can do is look That pence ahead of us there next to the railroad yards And it could be the fence in these pictures looks the same And that storage shed there at the right. That's one of the shots and that pile of oil drums. This is it Carla This is where those films were taken The truck was parked right at the corner of that shed Well, it looks as though that off chance paid off. I'm scared Johnny Now that it's so close. I'm scared. Don't be by off chance. I meant just finding the place You may not have come back here since the day those pictures were taken You don't believe that and you know it look Carla That house back at the corner has a phone. There's a wire running in from the pole Go back there and use it to call Lieutenant Garcia Give him the location and tell him to hit the radio and have this whole area blocked off got it Yes, tell him to cover the railroad yard too. So if this whole section tight and tell him to make it fast Johnny yeah Eddie may be watching us from around here somewhere right this minute I waited until she'd gone Then I got out of the car and walked toward the shed in the sagging wooden fence that bordered the railroad yards Was nearly dark now The high floodlights had been turned on above the crisscross network of gleaming steel tracks Shadows played tricks at such a time of evening and I got sudden movements now and then from the corner of my eyes, but And yet nothing really moved The only sound was the sound of my own footsteps I stopped several times and stood watching and listening But nothing moved there was only silence I reached the door of the long wooden shed and found it padlocked But looking in through a broken window. I could see the lock didn't matter the shed was empty and long abandoned Between it and the fence was a drive leading toward the rear And behind the shed in a loading area. I found Eddie's truck And in the back of it was a hundred thousand dollars worth of first Get your hands up Eddie you're in a rut That's the first thing you said to me the last time we met I gotta kill you there in that apartment. There's one killing enough I don't suppose you know it, but albert christman died this afternoon. I know I got a radio in the truck there This is where you've been hiding out all the time. Look If I wanted to answer questions, I go turn myself in you may be better off in the long run if you do I'll get You hear alone. No, no your sister's with me. Oh for the luck. What does she want to do? Watch me get it Why don't you give me that gun Eddie? It's only a matter of time. You know that you don't have a chance Oh, I figure I got a pretty good chance right here in my hand chance at what to break carla's heart Smash her into the dirt killer. Maybe shut up. What more do you want to do to her before you're through? I'm not planning to be through. Oh, that's great But the police are doing some planning of their own. They gotta find me first. I found you didn't I? And I ought to kill you right where you're standing Is that all you got to think about Eddie to kill somebody and go on killing until one of them kills you Let me think think about carla if you want to think about something Think about the things she's done for you the years. She's worked for you worried about you Yeah, that dame was born to worry. Nobody's born to worry. They inherit worries like you were inherited by her I didn't ask her to do it life didn't give her any choice But it's too late now to talk about that. It's all over Eddie. This is the wind up Come on. I'll give yourself up. You haven't got a chance Oh, and I would have if I gave myself up Don't you hand me that stuff the police have got this whole section surrounded carla went to call them 20 minutes ago If I thought you were trying to hand me Give you my shot. Eddie. You don't have a chance Be careful. Eddie's here I hit the dirt and rolled under the truck and came up on the other side with my gun in my hand I could hear eddy running away, but I couldn't tell where he was Johnny, are you all right? Yeah, I'm all right. Eddie went over the fence into the yards Here at the corner of the shed. Come on. Let's go after him. He can't get through I've got men working this way from the other side.
