squad of cops the neck graveyard tonight. Hi, Carla, how's the girl

(19:02):

been along? So sit down andrelax. Yeah. I thought that some
of them nosy coppers might have beenalong it. Inspector Sharp, somebody liked
that. Now I'm Red, you'rejust champy. I keep thinking of fortunacy.
I see him on the street everywhere, and you turn around and he

(19:25):
isn't there. How did you seeButch? We saw him bery, I'm
not so sure. And at theend of him. Look, you're safe
up here in this drop of letts. If you lock the kitchen door,
no one can get him by thefire escape that leaves the front door.
And if you put the chain onit, you have got it bad.
Oh Now I'm not coming here,silly? Yeah, or maybe the better

(19:45):
safe than sorry. Yeah, yousee, if Butcher's alive, you might
come after you. Yeah, Isuppose you're right. But what's that cat

there, nobody, it's but he'sin the bedroom. Well, I'm going

(20:14):
to see nobody there but about tobe hiding. Come out of there.
Why don't you look under the bag? I'm sorry, Calor, I'm jumpy.
That's all because it's sporning. Sodidn't you hear a laugh? Yeah,
of course not. I've thought Iheard of them. Yeah. Well
let's go back to the living room. Okay, I see Butcher everywhere.

(20:41):
Well I don't see him. Ihear him if he at the ghost his
mud you like one, And Ididn't do anything anyway. I'm going to
settle this one way or the other. Tonight, Charlie's coming with me and
we'll dig up Butcher's grave. Ireckon the money? Is there the money?
Yeah? I'm going to spend allthis day with out of ency's way.

(21:03):
See, there's something you can dofor me, anything at all.
Red, You know that take thisgun and digit the clip, ammunition and
everything. It's the gun I usedto kill Kinder's Jack. And it's too
hard to carry. Understand whatever yousay, Red Good, I've got a
sort of feeling that something's going tohappen. I'll get picked up with something,

(21:26):
so drop it in the rover.I'll put the gun where no one
will ever find it. Where willyou spend the day where no one will
ever find me? Kid better artgallery? So long? Love Well,
I'm dreamboat, butch, but comeout? How is gone sucks? Carla?

(21:56):
Oh, it was a bit clubto that wardrobe. I can know
if that was the anyway. Ididn't expect him today. If you had
have found me, it would havemeant to show down here. You make
a lassy curse. Oh, Idon't know. I'll grow and crack a
very convincingly Carla. That poor BOYO, he doesn't know if I'm dead or

(22:18):
alive. And you've been seeing toomuch food. But genis is a chap.
People don't forgetting Harry. I've stillgot a fixed up Krla. I'm
dead. We pick up that moneyfrom the graveyard and scram the both of
us, just you and me.Sure leave these boys to look for the
ghost. I'll quit the rackets,come with the overseas, and your life
is waiting for us. I'll investa legitimate business. Okay, sounds wonderful,

(22:45):
But what are the money in yourcoffin in the first place? That
makes sense, don't you see?It's in cash, small notes, negotiable
currency. Every racketeer and the placewas after it. We had to hide
it somewhere. But what happened topoor Kentish Jackson? That's right? Did
you square? Doctor? Most sure? He's showed the death certificate for money.

(23:07):
More in the undertaker too, heworked for money. No, Carla,
I've been seen around, but peoplethink I'm a ghost. I'm the
first man to break clean as ahouse truth with their rackets. You make
it sound wonderful, but if itstays that way, I swear at will
everything's fixed. All we have todo is go to the grave and dig
up that coffin. But you betterbe fast as you calls. Red's got

(23:30):
the same idea as you know.I wonder what I'd do without you,
baby, This is the place.Read sure, I understand what we do.

(24:04):
We're getting that graveyard and start digging. Yeah, I'm with you.
Read that? Those there for certain? All right? That's it? Are
you sure? Read certain? AsI'm very isn't I at least I saw
something very down in this grave sidelook of the earth. It's just being

(24:26):
turned over. Yeah, that's right, it's all loose. Let's start digging
now, come on, put yourback into it, you know. And
I am trying mate see what wasthat? It was an l read,
that's all. But I don't likeours. I don't like this place.
I don't like any of it.It's wrong with me somewhere. What you

(24:48):
mean, read? I don't know. Something creepy. There is something wrong.
Desert troubles too easy. Yeah,well we'll soon know one way all
the other. That's the coffee andmoments to get out. I reckon that
will do it right. I takea spade and leave up with it.

(25:10):
There's unportunate in this for us.Yeah, Johnny, let's see it.
But what is it means? Takea look. It's for Cheney's corpse.
