Frank Race and his friend, Mark Donovan, are in the state penitentiary visiting an inmate on death row. As they are walking behind the silent guard, Mark says "Tell me something, Race. How come they're letting you see this inmate Marty Quinn? Aren't they going to execute him tomorrow night?" Frank says "Yes, It's in the nature of a last request. Apparently Quinn has no family and no friends who would risk a visit". Mark says "No, but he still has the two million bucks from that armored car stick up. A lot of good it'll do him now". Frank says "He's kept it well hidden though. The police haven't found a trace. Neither has the insurance company". Mark asks "Did they send you in to pump the guy before he goes?" Frank says "No, Marty Quinn sent for me himself. He knows I've been on the case". Mark asks "Do you think he will tell you where the loot is?". Frank says "No. I'm afraid he has something else on his mind". The guard says "Here we are. Your friend will have to wait out here, Mr. Race". Frank says "Grab a seat on the bench, Mark". The guard says "I'll have to frisk you, Mr. Race, prison regulations". Frank says "Certainly, I'm not armed". Guard says "Alright, come on. Here's the cell, Mr. Race. The warden said you can have three minutes. You're not to touch the prisoner and nothing is to pass between you". Frank says "I understand". Marty says "Hello, Race. You look uncomfortable, have a seat". Frank says "Time is short, Marty. Better get to the point. You want to tell me where the money is?" Marty says "I told you once before. I don't know anything about any money. I ask you to come up because I think you're a guy I can trust. Can I?" Frank says "If it's a legitimate request, the answer is yes". Marty says "Alright, Marty Quinn ain't my real name. I'll begin there. This might surprise you, but I used to be on the square. I had a business once. A grocery store in Cold Springs on the Hudson. I've got a mother and two daughters still living. The girls are grown up now. They ain't seen me or heard from me since they were kids. They don't know nothing about me". Frank says "Fortunately, for them". Marty says "I'm glad you said that because I want to keep it that way".
