:07:01
Well, he was a hotshot race driver
named Johnny North.
:07:04
Everybody knew him.
So what?
:07:06
Only thing that counts is
we're 25,000 ahead of the game.
:07:10
Yeah, that's another thing:
25,000 for a simple hit.
:07:13
We walk in.
We put him down. We walk out.
:07:16
- That's a lot of money for a simple hit.
- Not for me it isn't.
:07:20
And he knew we were coming.
:07:22
That dame must've gotten to a phone,
'cause he was tipped off.
:07:25
But he just stood there.
That's one.
:07:28
Twenty-five thousand for a simple hit.
:07:31
I never got more than ten
in my life. That's two.
:07:33
Now, I happen to know that Johnny North
was in on a big mail robbery in California.
:07:37
Supposed to have gotten away
with over a million bucks,
:07:39
left the other guys holding the bag.
:07:45
So we get a contract
to knock him off. Okay?
:07:48
What happened to the million?
:07:50
He spent it.
:07:53
Nobody spends a million.
:07:55
No, he didn't have the money.
Otherwise, we would've leaned on him.
:07:58
Makes sense.
:08:00
I'll tell you something else
that makes more sense.
:08:03
Whoever laid this contract
wasn't worried about the million dollars.
:08:06
And the only people that don't worry
about a million dollars...
:08:09
are the people that
have a million dollars.
:08:12
Only we don't know
who hired us for the job.
:08:15
So... maybe we find out.
:08:19
I don't know, Charlie.
We did the job, we got paid.
:08:24
Lee, you're 27 years old.
:08:27
You got muscles and great brains.
You'll go a long way in this business.
:08:30
But I'm getting old, my hair
is turning gray, and I'm tired of running.
:08:34
Now, if I had a half a million bucks,
I wouldn't have to run.
:08:39
Charlie, didn't you say North
had a partner down in Miami?
:08:44
Yeah. It's funny. I was thinking
of spending a few days down there.
:08:48
We could change trains in Chicago.
:08:51
- I always liked Miami.
- Yeah, it's a nice place.
