From the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. When you get to the next intersection, why don't you turn south? Chocolate mountains are east. Well, they were the last time we headed that way. Who needs the mountains? Why don't we go to San Felipe? Nothing to do in San Felipe, but fish.

When are you due back? No particular time. Yeah, we told our wives to expect us home when we got there. You got wives, huh? Any kids? I have. Just keep thinking how nice it'll be to see them again. There's the checkpoint. Slow down. No talking. If I give you the word, step on it. This car rides pretty good. If I get where I'm going, I'll... I think I'll sell it. Where are we going? Pull in the next pump. We'll fill up with gas and get a road map. I got an idea. Pretty good one. How are you, senor? Speak English, you. I told you he doesn't understand English. And I don't understand Mexican. Never mind the change. Let's get out of here. Give me the map. Take the first side road we come to. Pull up. All right, now get out like I told you. Hey, you're the smart guy. Spread the map out on the hood. Get your hands up in the car. Look for a town called Santa Rosalia. How far is it? About 500 miles. Is it on the Gulf of California? Say anything in there about a ferry across the Gulf? Not bad. We're loaded with time. We can make that easy. After that, I won't be needing you guys anymore. Well, I guess we won't be having rabbit for dinner. I wasn't trying. Put the can out in that rock there Give me the map Not that one the other one That's it Put the can back on the rock. Don't forget this is loaded too. Let's see you try it. See how good you are. Go ahead. Not bad. Collins! Pick up the can! Take it out on that point there. If you don't, I'll let Bowen have it. Out on the point, that's right. Further! Now hold it up! You won't get hurt, your... Nobody's good with guns. You're crazy. I won't do it. That's just a gain. Go ahead. Collins, hold it closer to you. What's the matter? Are you scared? Hold it closer. You want me to try it again? I might miss this time. Shoot. Come on, Gil, get going. Nervous? Relax. All right, Collins, come on in. Fun's over. You guys worked up quite a sweat. What do you want? Turn on the radio. Why bother? All you get is Mexican commercials. Turn it on. Get something else. Like what? One of those news guys from the States. It's scheduled for 10 o'clock tomorrow morning at the White House. On the crime front, the police of 9 Western... states from Washington in the north to Colorado and Utah in the east have been alerted to keep a continuous search for the Kansas desperado Emmett Myers. Reports have placed the killer in Florida, Detroit, and Seattle within the last 24 hours, although most of these tips have been discounted by police authorities. His latest victim, William Johnson, a salesman from Portland, Oregon, was found late yesterday in Imperial County, California. The victim's car possibly...with Myers in it has not yet been found. United Nations passed... They're not even close. You guys don't have to worry. Not yet. You can start sweating when they put me in this car. If they ever do. And a good, good evening, ladies and gentlemen. reporting your news final at the top of the news tonight is the report that the hitchhike murderer emmett myers is still at large yesterday the devil found another ride and william johnson of portland asked him to hop in now william johnson is dead in an all-out effort to apprehend myers the police have set up roadblocks on all major highways in the western states and all border stations are being closely watched myers is slight 28 years of age he's wearing a dark shirt dark gray trousers and a black leather jacket The right eyelid is partially paralyzed. If you are in possession of any information regarding the whereabouts of this individual, please communicate with your nearest office of police or office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Pull up. Keys. Out. Move. At least if you take one. Get around the car. We'll camp here tonight. I know what you're thinking, Collins. You haven't got a chance. You guys are gonna die, that's all. It's just a question of when. Santa Rosalia? That's the end of the line. If the cops find out we're together... or if you try to cross me up. You know, you make pretty good targets from where I sit. Anyway, you couldn't tell if I was awake or asleep. That one bum eye. Won't stay closed. Pretty good, huh? Oh, my God. We're getting out here and buy some grub. We got out of the car like usual. You guys go in the store ahead of me. No Mexican. I'm talking to you. He tells you how much you pay, is that clear? Now one other thing. I'm gonna have my hand in my pocket. So far my record in Mexico is clean. I wanna keep it that way. Let's go. All he said about Tijuana? He says their prices are about the same as in Tijuana. Never mind a kid. What do you want? Some beans and stuff. And tomato soup. I like that. Get four cans. He wants four cans of beans, four cans of tomato soup, three cans of chili. It's no use. He doesn't understand English. Well, you're not talking mixed. Take the cans off the shelves. Give them to Collins. I can take some more. Go on, load it up. That'll hold us. Pay it. Quince pesos. Ten centavos, senor. Give me one mazana. Give me one mazana. Give me one mazana. Get her away from me. Put the kid down. Let's get out of here. Come on, Collins. Hasta luego, senores. Muchas gracias. What did you say to her? You wouldn't understand. What did you say to her? I said, go ye with God, little one. Hey, mister, you live in El Centro, I live there sometime, nice place, huh? Where'd you get the watch, Bowen? My wife gave it to me. Throw it over here. Didn't you hear me? I told you to throw it over here. I had a watch like this once when I was 17. Nobody gave it to me. I took it. Knocked off a broken-down jewelry store in a little jerk town outside of Tulsa. It was a cinch. You guys are soft. You know what makes you that way? You're up to your necks in IOUs. You're suckers. You're scared to get out on your own. You always said it good, so you're soft. Well, not me. Nobody ever gave me anything. So I don't owe nobody. My folks were tough. When I was born, they took one look at this... puss of mine and told me to get lost. I didn't need them. I didn't need any of them. Got what I wanted my own way. You got the know-how and a few bucks in your pocket. You can buy anything or... anybody especially if you got him at the point of a gun that really scares you you ever been at the other end of a gun no and I never will I'm gonna listen to the news turn it up we'd like to hear what's going on you just get the grub ready anything interesting i'll let you know i gotta find an excuse to raise the hood of the car and put that radio out of commission first time he finds out they're looking for us together we're through never mind I'm not gonna take it anymore. We gotta get him. You can't beat him that way. You give him one good reason, and he'll kill us. We gotta take the chance. As long as he needs us, we'll stay alive. When he gets ready to jump us, we'll jump him, not before. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow. All right, now. They found Johnson's car. They know I'm in Mexico. And they're looking for you, too, in the Chocolate Mountains. Where are the Chocolate Mountains? In Arizona, near home. Not in Mexico? Well, what do you know? That's where you told your wife. you were going huh and you came to mexico what for dames you boys ought to be ashamed of yourselves causing all that trouble telling lies they got everybody and his brother looking for you in the mountains I told you to turn the radio on. I did. It takes time to warm up. Try another station. Stop it! Stop it! I can't. I've got to pull up and disconnect it. Then pull up! Oh, raise the hood. Keep your hands on it. All right, Collins, get to work. Get the right one the first time. Don't pull the radio wire. Faster, faster! I thought you were a mechanic! I'm going as fast as I can. The threads are frozen. Throw the tools in the back. The radio, remember? Make it work. They can't. Pull up. So you did bust it, Collins. Cut it out! He didn't do it. This is static in the hills. Stations aren't strong enough in the daytime. Tonight it'll work. Tonight it better. Take the wheel. Now, in Punta Prieta, in August the 7th, three Americans stopped for provision at a store owned by Jose Andrade. Andrade gave an accurate description of Meyer as being one of them. The witness stated that three men came out of the store and drove away in a green sedan bearing the same plate. This confirms our theory that Collins and Bowen are with them. He seems to be heading south, all right, staying clear of all main highways. Exactly. Now, to the west, this is more or less barren and would afford no means of escape. His most logical move would be Santa Rosalia. Then... Juámas. Be sure that fire's out. Pull the coffee out. Get down! I gotta get a closer look at that car. On your feet. Through there. At the other end, lie flat. Get going. All right. Get a move on. What are you trying to do, wrecker? Drive like I tell you. What did I tell you? Get that spare tire out and go to work. You keep working. Keep your traps set no matter what. I'll be watching. The search for Gilbert Bowen and Roy Collins now believed to have been last seen with Emmet Myers, mass killer. He's being stepped up by the hour. Helicopters are working in shifts, scouring the entire area from El Centro South to the Gulf of California. The planes are maintaining close liaison with the ground. isolated cars and campers. The Mexican police have now joined this strange race against death. It was a green sedan. It was the same thing that had a yellow line and two men were fixing it. Please, let them go. With pleasure. Mr. Alvarado, I think you know something. If we show you the photograph, possibly... Do you have two people on the road? Do you have any of the two that passed? Do you like this? No, we don't know, sir. How many kilometers of Kiroz passed? Well, you will see like 10 kilometers. On the same road? On that same road, sir. Thank you very much. You can come. You can come here. I'm going to see if I can. Oh, my God. Hold it right there. Around. Break the lock. Okay, one of you on the pump. Lo de la gasolina no me importa mi perro HILIERON MI PERRO Lo siento mucho, amigo. Vamos a tratar de aclarar esto. Encontré este anillo junto a la pompa de gasolina. Y tiene una inscripción adentro. Sí, sí, pronto. Now, as you will notice, when interrogated at the road... The man and his wife were very definite in their statement that they only saw two men. This was below El Arco. There is a point, however, which we feel is of importance. The couple stated that the behavior of the men seemed strange, that they refused to talk to them. Of course, there's a possibility that Myers may conceal nearby, covering the two men, which would account for their behavior. We are following true on that possibility. Now, on the assumption that Myers is listening to the car radio, we're issuing... broadcasts in the States containing false information as to his whereabouts and not connecting the two men with him we'd appreciate your cooperation and following the same procedure this ought to be the main It isn't. What do you mean? Looks like an abandoned airstrip. Well, that's okay for tonight. Head over there. No, Ray, you're wrong. You're wrong. There's no use of trying to talk me out of it. Tonight, I'm gonna chance it. You're out of your mind. I've played it your way long enough. From now on, we're each on our own. It's no good. We gotta stay together, I told you that. If I get a break, I'm gonna take it. You do whatever you want. Cross the runway those trees. Keep going! You guys are really dumb. Why, you dirty... Thought I was asleep, huh? You know, you're beginning to get ideas. I don't like that. Hold him in the car. Everybody's all washed up for the night. Over there! Move! You, Collins, throw a rock down that shaft! Nice and deep. This is fine. Cut it out of me! If you're gonna kill us, do it and get it over with. Thought you're never killed without a reason. Go get the rest of canned goods out of the car. We'll have a real good meal. Save them for the next guy to picture What are you saying? Rosalía. What do you know? This kind of changes my plans. Looks like you and me are going fishing after all. On your feet. Head to the car. Let's go. We're not going anyplace. Stand up! What did you do to it? There's a great big hole in that crankcase. All right. We'll walk. Just for that sore ankle of yours needs, Collins. A nice long hike. Get up! Now get the fishing gear out of the back. Stay with it and never leave you out here alive. Yeah, cut the gap Let's get going Maybe we'll have to leave you here. Too bad. Come on, Roy, try. Here we are, here we are, can't you see us, look here we are, down here. Oh, please, God! Hear me! Hear me! Come back! Come back! Leave him alone. Can't you see he's praying? Let's go. Get under the bridge, quick! Relax. Go ahead if you can stand the filthy stuff. you know collins you're just about my side put you in a black shirt and dark pants with a leather jacket you look just like Emmett Meyers. That's anyone who never saw him. Ain't nobody in Santa Rosalia ever saw him. Let's change. Get up in the bank and take your clothes off. Come on, get up. I don't know. Looks great, doesn't it? You won't be there long. The cops down there! In those clothes, they might shoot you. That'd solve all your problems, wouldn't it? Not if they found they made a mistake, it wouldn't. We'll hit some little joint in the outskirts. I might even buy you boys a beer. Get moving. Buenas tardes, señores. Buenas tardes. Give us three beers. Yo no hablo ingles. He doesn't speak English. Tres cervezas. When I want you to talk, Max, I'll tell you. Sit down, Collins. Rest your sore foot. You can talk it now. Ask him about the ferry to Guaymas. I'll be watching his face. If he starts looking frightened, I start shooting. ¿Cuándo sale el chelón para Guaymas? Los martes y viernes a las nueve de la noche. Friday, that's today, and Tuesday at nine o'clock. Ask him where we catch it. ¿Dónde puedo embarcar? En el muelle. Pero ahora no pueden embarcarse, porque el mes pasado......and they're repairing it in Guaymas. You're out of luck. The ferry burned up. It's being repaired in Guaymas. You're lying. Ask him if he knows anyone who speaks English. Yo no hablo bien español. No comprendo. Usted no habla inglés. Yo no, pero mi primo José sí. Venga conmigo. He says he has a cousin who speaks English. Follow him. Up. José, levántate. Despierta. José, José, despierta. ¿Qué pasó? Estos americanos quieren hablar contigo. Los dejo aquí con mi primo. Si algo necesitan, confianza, ¿eh? What can I do for you? I want to find out about the fairy de Guaymas. You want to go fishing? Too bad. No ferry anymore for the next two months, maybe. She burned up. Fishing is pretty good here. Not as good as Guaymas or La Paz, but okay. You have motorboat? You know someone has a boat? Sure, sure. My friend Jaime, he have one. Motor runs good. How do we get to this Jaime? In the mine where he works. He's not finished until... six I fix it for you tomorrow morning I want to go now at six then by the time my friend gets the boat ready there is no sun my friend does not like using too much boat at night he he sees his wife and kids give him some more at night for me you pay my friend too You be appear at 8.30. The name of the boat is Estrella. A thousand thanks, senor. We'll go around the town and wait by the water till it gets dark. Let's go. Hold it a minute, will you? Better go fishing when you get a chance. That's what you came down here for, wasn't it? You guys are really fools. If you weren't, one of you would have got away. But you kept thinking about each other, so you missed some chances. You got tired. You slowed down. Now it's pretty late. Yeah, tomorrow I'll be in Guaymas. Too bad you're not making the whole trip with me. That'd be kind of silly, wouldn't it? You stink, Myers! You smell! just like your clothes sure you'll make it to guaymas but they'll catch up with you and put you out of your misery you haven't got a chance you haven't got a thing except that gun you better hang on to it because without it you're nothing you're finished Caramba! Pronto, llame a la policía. Este hombre estaba en la cantina de mi primo. Se va esta noche en la estrella, el barco de mi amigo Jaime. No Carlos, no estoy borracho. Llame a la policía. Bueno, bueno, la policía. No, no, no, no! The police! All right, Collins, now you get to take a nice little walk all by yourself, down the alley and out on the dock. Me and Bowen will follow. If you try to tip anyone off, I'll let Bowen have it. You wouldn't want that to happen, would you? Get it. Go ahead, Collins. All the way out. Keep under the lights. ¡Alto! Arto! Arto, I... I'm not biased! I'm not biased! You hear me? I'm not biased! Arto! Arto! Arto! Arto! Ardo! Ardo! Put your hands up. Walk this way. Do as he tells you, Myers. You're all through. Let's go. I'm sorry, we'll have to have a folder board. You understand? Gracias. It's all right now, Roy. It's all right. This has been a presentation of the Library of Congress. Visit us at loc.gov.
