Hollywood and Stalin: Love without reciprocity (part 34)
Continuation of the series, beginning read here . The Kardannik Skip McCoy streams of a wallet, in which there is a microfilm with secret information stolen by comack spies. Such is the tie of Samuel Fuller's film “Pocket Theft on South Street”. The plot is invented by the creators of the picture. But intelligence stories are known.
One of them occurred just when the “pocket theft” was released - in June 1953. 13-year-old newspaper seller James Bozard scattered his revenue on the stairs. One of the coins of 25 cents suddenly split into two discs, between which there was an empty space. Inside the cache, a fragment of a microfill was hidden with numbers inflicted on it. James showed his find to his girlfriend, and she told her father-police. On the second day, the hollow coin and its contents were in the FBI. It was clear to the agents that they had a container in their hands with a spy report, but then they could not decorate the message or install the owner of the coin.
The owner was arrested four years later. It turned out to be a resident of the KGB Villy Fisher, who called during the arrest Rudolf Abel. He accidentally paid a coure-a tower in some kind of shop ...
Let's get back to the film. We interrupted the story at the moment when McCay decided to bargain with the spies. He sent Candy, which the spies are used "in the dark", for the ransom. The former boyfriend of Kandy Jovy gives her $ 500 - in his opinion, this is enough for a small crook. Candy returns to the house of McCoy.
Macca: Hey, I'm here! The staircase behind the hammock. Well, where is the old woman?
Kandy: She could not come.
Macca: Sorry. Did you bring the loot?
Kandy: I don't understand you.
Macca: And don't try. Let the old woman understand. How much did she give you?
Kandy: How did it happen that such a glorious small, like you, climbs in the subway in other people's bags?
Macca: Baby, the last time I worked in the subway, I wore short pants.
Kandy: The last time was this morning. Unless, of course, after me, you have not cleaned a couple more people.
Macca: Come on.
Candy: Well, how many times have you come across a strange pocket?
Macca: You know what, pussy ... if I came across, then always by chance. Well, there was not in shape or did not concentrate. So a couple of times they caught me.
Candy: Three times?
Macca: Well, yes, I have such a business. Production costs. Clouded?
Candy: Of course. I heard about a guy who was in prison three times. When he was arrested for the fourth time, he was thrown for life.
Macca: Everything is right. There is such a law for three times convicted. The fourth sentence for them is lifelong.
Candy: You want to say if you were caught this morning with my wallet, you could be planted until the end of your life?
Macca: Nothing of this happens when I am focused.
Candy: Well, don't you catch the bald on such chances? Well, how much money people wear in their pockets ...
Macca: How is your jaw?
Candy: OK.
Macca: Well, good.
Candy: You have fingers like an artist. Soft and smooth.
Macca: At my work, I just need them. When there is nothing in them, they begin to get nervous.
Candy: How did it happen that you got a shutdown?
Macca (angry)
: How did I become a pickpocket? How did you become who you are? So it turned out, that's how.
Kandy: Okay, don't be angry.
Macca: Do not ask stupid questions.
Kandy: I asked because I was interested.
Macca: Interesting? Well, what happened to you?
Candy: In what sense?
Macca: We came here for goods, isn't it? (Kisses Candy.)
Kandy: Do not think to fill the price of kisses.
Macca: Then why all this fuss?
Kandy: To the fact that I like you.
Macca: Oh, well? What is it? Everyone likes it when she is kissed.
Candy: All are different.
Macca: So tomorrow you will like someone else.
Kandy: I kissed many guys. But never, Skip, I felt anything like this, honestly.
Macca: You seem to be shitty (hugs and kisses)
.
Candy (McKoya McCois)
: Now it’s clear what you meant when he said: “You are looking for oil and find a fountain.”
Macca: How much did you bring?
Candy: I don't want to talk about it.
Macca: How much?
Candy: Five hundred.
Macca (in anger pushes her)
: Tell your commune that I want a big navar for this film, and in cash today!
Candy: What are you talking about?
Macca: No, you tell me that. After all, you have answers to all questions.
Candy: What to say?
Macca: Give up to break. You are red. Well, who cares? Your money is no worse than any others. Now get out of here and tell your old woman what I need.
Candy: Red?!
Macca: Kit from here!
Kandy: Do you think I'm red? I?
Macca: I don't think anything. I know. I know what you need and how much it costs.
Kandy: I have no idea what you are talking about!
Macca: You have! But what you do not have: when I pulled out your wallet, the cops spotted me. Do you know how difficult it is to keep track of my fingers while working? It is simply impossible. But I still slept. Do you know why? Because they followed you. And the guy to whom you had to convey the film ... You do not know anything about him either? He is still waiting. His hands itch with impatience.
Candy: Listen, Skip ... I like you, and I will not lie to you. You have to believe me.
Macca: I should not believe anyone. I will make a deal with Red, but I do not have to believe her.
Kandy: I'm very sorry, Skip. I...
Macca: I went out! Tell the old woman that I shake out of you red, twenty -five pieces! Candy talks about his unsuccessful attempt by Jovi and his two bosses - harsh men, one of whom smokes a cigarette and the other - a cigar.
Kandy: Do you know what is the wildest in all this? You know how much he wants for
This film? 25 thousand! Have you heard something like that? Do you know why? No, he went crazy. He said I am a communist. Where did it only come out of it in the head! Well, he wants to bred us for money. But call us a commander ...
A man with a cigarette: sit down.
Kandy: Do you know what he said?
A man with a cigarette: sit down. You must solve the issue yourself.
Jovi: You know, I can't take risks.
A man with a cigarette: they pay you for this.
A man with a cigarette: we are not interested in all these misunderstandings. The film must be transferred tomorrow night. (It turns out.)
The first (takes a pistol from a desk box, puts it in front of Jobi).
Get the film. Candy is horrified: a gun - this means that the skippe will threaten, perhaps, shoot him. Jovi demands McCoy's address. Candy calls the wrong address. Not finding McCoy, Jovi goes to the MO trading, who probably knows where McCoy lives, but she refuses to answer, and Jovi kills her. The police are trying to arrest Makko for the murder of the Ministry of Defense, but the FBI agent who followed him declares his alibi.
Returning home, Macca finds Candy sleeping in a hammock there.
Candy: Mo killed, Skip. Shot in the head tonight.
Macca: I read in newspapers. What are you doing here without dough?
Candy: I was with her yesterday. I begged not to tell Jovi where you live. She did not sell you, Skip. She loved you.
Macca: What kind of Jovi? Is this your old woman?
Candy: You don't listen.
Macca: Jobi - is this an old woman?
Candy: Yes. I told her about him. I knew - he would find her.
Macca: Do you think this is his work?
Candy: I just know. He was ordered to find her. I was there. I saw how they gave him a gun. But, Skip, I did not think that he would kill her, honestly.
Macca: Shut up.
Candy: This is my fault. I didn't know. I didn't want this.
Macca: And I didn't want to. I took care of MO. She should not have died like that. Well, calm down, everything is in order.
Candy: This is my fault. I wandered around the streets all night, I did not know where to go. When I read it in the newspapers, I went to you, Skip. I had to tell you how it happened. You are mistaken in my account, Skip. I have nothing to do with this.
Macca: Okay. Now everything is clear to me. Where does he live?
Kandy: He has a gun.
Macca: I will provide cops with the opportunity to do it. Where does he live?
Candy: 340, 96th West Street.
Macca: He should cook these 25 pieces. (He takes out the film.)
Here it is.
Candy: Skip!
Macca: See you. McCoy turns to leave, but Candy beats him with a bottle on the head. He loses consciousness. She abducts the film.
Candy in a police station in Dan Tiger's office. In the conversation is also involved in the FBI agent.
Kandy: Are you the head of the combat control department?
Tiger: Yes.
Candy: Here is the film you are looking for. And whom the Communists want to get. Skip ordered me to bring it to you.
Tiger: Skip ordered?
Candy: Yes. Listen, they followed me while I got here. It was unlikely that these were friends.
Zara: I followed you. (Considers the film. Tiger.)
The same one, everything is in order. (Candy.)
Would you like to sit down? Just calm down and answer a few questions. How did you contact with Skip McCOM?
Candy: A woman named MO.
Tiger: Do your friends have anything to do with the murder?
Candy: Yes.
Tiger: Will you confirm this under the oath?
Kandy: I will say everything that I know under the oath.
Tiger: Did you know that on this film, when Skip pulled it out of your purse?
Kandy: Listen, Mr. ... I did not say anything about someone who pulled out anything from my purse. I came here to help you. Skip wanted this. It was not easy for him to make such a decision. His positive side tried to prevail. What is the difference to you why he sent me. I'm here with the film, that's all.
Zara: How long did you know that Jovi is a communist agent?
Kandy: I did not know until Skip told me. Honestly.
Zara: You want to help us fight communism, right?
Candy: Behind this Skip sent me to help you.
Zara: What I want to ask you about can be dangerous.
Candy: Please.
Zara: Great. Return to Jovi with this film. Act as it was planned. You will deliver a film or Jovi - indifferent. We will intervene as soon as the film is at the one we hunt for. Ready?
Candy: Of course.
Zara: Call Jovi. Tell him that you got the film. (Tiger.)
I told you: there is a big difference between the traitor and the pickpocket.
Candy (to the telephone)
: Hello, Jovi? This is Candy ... Jovi comes for a film in the apartment of Candy.
Jovi: (knocks on the door, enters)
. Candy! Candy!
Candy: Jovi?
Jovi: Where are you?
Candy: I'm in the bath! Therefore, she left the door unlocked. Drink coffee so far.
Jovi: Get out! Do you hear? I said - come here.
Candy: Enough, be blessed!
Jovi: Have you heard me? I said - get out! Candy, why did you give me the wrong address?
Candy: I had to.
Jovi : . Why?
Candy: I didn't want you to kill him. I didn’t want to be put in an electric chair.
Jovi: Where did you hang around all night?
Candy: I was with him.
Jovi: I will have the truth out of you! What do you achieve?
Candy: Come on, beat, if you don't believe! But I took out the film.
Jovi: How did you succeed? He wanted 25 thousand. How did it happen?
Candy: And you scatter your brains. I did not lie to you, Jovi. I just did not want to be put in an electric chair. You know how I feel about you. I'll do everything for you, Jobi. I will give you everything ...
Jovi: There is not enough frame. So you say, you will do everything for me? Where does he live?
Candy: He moved.
Jovi: Where does he live?
Candy: He is no longer there.
Jovi: Where does he live?
Candy: I'm not ...
Jovi: (Bits Candy.)
Where does he live?
Candy: No!
Jovi: (beats Candy.)
Where does he live? Where? Where? Candy breaks out, tries to run. Jovi shoots her.
Looking out the window, he sees some men running to the entrance of the house. He understands that the house is under surveillance, and so easy he can not leave. Looking around, in search of a way out of the situation, he decides to use the kitchen lift.
Zara and Tiger run into the apartment. Zara rushes to Candy lying without feelings.
Zara: She is still alive. "Ambulance", quickly!
Tiger (calls on the phone)
: Police Department.
Zara: He is somewhere in the building. Check each floor, every staircase.
Tiger: "Ambulance" here! The gunshot wound of a woman. 607, 74th Western, apartment 302. And bring the assassination attempt on the murder in the summary. The apartment includes agent Gibbs.
Gibbs: He is not on the roof.
Zara: Send reinforcements to the main entrance. Search the closets of cleaners on all floors. Jobi in the lift box halfway to the basement. Downstairs in the basement - Gibbs, at the top in the apartment of Kandy - Zara. They are talking through the lift mine.
Zara: Gibbs! Gibbs!
Gibbs: He is not here!
Zara: He is somewhere in the building. Look for everywhere! Check the kitchen lift! And yet, Jovi manages to slip away ...
Jovi himself goes to the Grand-Sentral station to pass the film to the courier. He is pursued by McCoy ...
The finale of the picture. Macca enters the Tiger’s office, where Candy sits.
Macca: Hello Tiger! How is the courier? Haven't split yet? As you can see, I did not need the toptones to find it again in your rat trap. What a pity - you can’t plant me again, huh? Come here to release the paper. (Tiger reluctantly holds out documents to him.)
Thank you. Dear, you look amazing. Missed me, baby? Okay, let's move from here. Tiger, can you really say “goodbye”?
Tiger: A minute! Everything turned out as I wanted. A pistol in a pocket is a wind for three times convicted.
Macca: That's right. And what's next?
Tiger: You have always been a mediocre pickpocket. You have 30 days left until I take you on a strange pocket.
Candy: We argue? Continuation of the series read here .
