Early the following afternoon, Red called me at my 21:22.480 --> 21:27.240 hotel room and I told him I had the $20,000 for the buy. He picked me up at 21:27.240 --> 21:32.520 1.45 p.m. I flashed a stack of money containing mostly $1 bills and he seemed 21:32.520 --> 21:37.840 satisfied. He drove me out to the site of the flower show in South Pasadena, a 21:37.840 --> 21:44.520 large glass dome conservatory just off the Arroyo Seco freeway. Let's head back 21:44.520 --> 21:47.560 this way. Yeah. 21:52.800 --> 21:58.400 Sure nice flowers, huh? Just beautiful. How many times are we gonna have to cover this 21:58.400 --> 22:03.360 route? I've seen everything twice already. Won't be long. Couple of minutes. Over this 22:03.360 --> 22:16.400 way. Come on. Yeah, they sure are pretty. Look, I don't get any of this. If we got business, why 22:16.400 --> 22:20.480 can't it be in private? This your big man's idea of a joke? It's protection, 22:20.480 --> 22:23.960 Lindsay. He's got to be careful. I guess he figures this is the last place they'd 22:23.960 --> 22:28.760 look for. We'll make another round of this place. We'll stand out like a sore thumb. 22:28.760 --> 22:35.120 I'll relax. You'll make the buy. Coming up right now. Right. Come on, follow me. 22:41.880 --> 22:48.520 Tom, what do you say? Oh, you're in. What do you think of my gladiola entries? Those 22:48.520 --> 22:53.560 up there, when you say they're beauties? Yeah, they're real great, Tom. Took me three and a half 22:53.560 --> 22:57.560 years to get blooms like that. South African species, you know, the Chilsea 22:57.560 --> 23:01.640 type. Raised them right in the little greenhouse back of our place. You see, 23:01.640 --> 23:07.480 the scarlets and the whites, those are mine. Yeah. All right, Tom, I'd like to have you meet that 23:07.480 --> 23:14.120 friend of mine. Lindsay, this is Tom. Hi. How'd you do? What do you think of my entries? Raised every 23:14.120 --> 23:20.680 one of them from seeds, Lindsay. They take a lot of care. Yeah, they're all right. Plenty of care. 23:20.680 --> 23:26.560 Especially those, the South African type. They take a good, stiff, sandy loam. Quality fertilizer, 23:26.560 --> 23:33.880 just the right kind of heat and water. Takes a lot of work. Proud of them. Yeah. Look, I haven't got 23:33.880 --> 23:38.120 too much time to spend. Maybe we better talk outside. Yes, that takes quite a lot of work. 23:38.120 --> 23:44.280 Beautiful blooms. You have all the money with you? All of it. You got two kilos? That's correct. 23:44.280 --> 23:56.880 We can go out the side way. Hey, Red, you follow behind. Keep an eye open. Right, Tom. This way. Sorry 23:56.880 --> 24:02.440 for the delay. It's necessary sometimes. Yeah. You came out with Red. You double-checked. You 24:02.440 --> 24:08.160 went followed. I double-checked. I've been doing business longer in Red. Hmm. Maybe we can make it 24:08.160 --> 24:21.800 a permanent tie out here. My car's this way. You always make deals in the open, public places? 24:21.800 --> 24:27.880 Not always. It has its advantages. You sure this is the H.I. Sampled? No, I don't want another phony 24:27.880 --> 24:37.360 buy. It's no phony. You can be sure of that. Here's the car. Well, the money. Well, you show me the stuff. 24:37.360 --> 24:45.520 Red knows I got the money. Hey, Red. Yeah, Tom. The money. You saw it before you brought him here? 24:45.520 --> 24:52.480 Yeah, he showed it to me. Right here in my pocket. Have a look if you want. Now, come on. I can't 24:52.480 --> 24:58.640 afford to camp on this thing. All right. Keep a lookout, Red. All right, Tom. In the car, Winslow. 24:58.640 --> 25:14.720 All right. There. Under the dashboard here. I always find that's the best place. You have a car, 25:14.720 --> 25:23.160 of course. I'll go back with Red. All right. There you are. Two kilos. Not the money. What about 25:23.160 --> 25:27.560 breaking the package? How do I know it's not more powdered sugar? Of course it's not. Wait a minute. 25:27.560 --> 25:32.640 What is this? Those men coming up to the car. Take it easy, mister. I'm getting out of here. 25:32.640 --> 25:39.200 Let go. Come here. Let go. No. All right, Joe. I got him. Hold on, man. I'll shake him down. 25:39.200 --> 25:46.600 We got the other one. Red. No trouble. Good. Okay, he's going. Red. Stupid Red. I should have known. 25:46.600 --> 25:52.840 I should have known. Joe, good work. Stuff all there? Yeah, two kilos. Want us to take him back in our car, 25:52.840 --> 25:57.120 Skipper? All right. We'll take in the other one. Meet you at the parking lot gate. We'll follow you in. 25:57.120 --> 26:03.800 Right. All right, mister. This way. Look, let me ask you a favor. Won't take a minute. Yeah? Let me 26:03.800 --> 26:08.880 call my wife. I want to let her know what's happened. I wanted to come out here and get my flowers. 26:08.880 --> 26:14.120 I got some valuable plants in that show. I'll be taken care of. Your wife couldn't make it 26:14.120 --> 26:20.360 anyway. She was picked up an hour ago. No, couldn't be. What's gonna happen? Every dollar I own, 26:20.360 --> 26:26.440 all my merchandise, two kilos, best quality, all of it. We'll take care of that. Come on. Let's go. 26:26.440 --> 26:33.560 Well, I got those beautiful plants. You can do that much for me. Let me go back and get my flowers. 26:33.560 --> 26:40.280 They're prized, Gladio. It won't hurt anything, will it? Just let me take some with me. 26:40.280 --> 26:43.720 Just a few till I get back. Why bother? They won't last that long. 26:43.720 --> 26:56.960 The story you have just heard was true.
